| Flannel | dreamy: Yep. You'll use a little bit more RAM when they're running (because you have to bring in the kde libs) but yeah. | 00:00 |
| aboleth | but it applies to other ones | 00:00 |
| raistlyn | aboleth: i wouldnt know anything about the console emulators | 00:00 |
| aboleth | it's not an emulator | 00:00 |
| ulaelable | how would i go about downloading a file from a remote computer onto my local computer when i am logged in to the remote machine via ssh | 00:00 |
| dreamy | Flannel: ill have the ram back after i close them . . then ? | 00:00 |
| aboleth | i'm using an actual xbox 360 controller | 00:00 |
| Flannel | dreamy: Yeah. | 00:00 |
| aboleth | it worked until i got the upgrade yesterday | 00:00 |
| dreamy | ok cool | 00:00 |
| aboleth | this is a common bug | 00:00 |
| aboleth | with the new version | 00:01 |
| aboleth | with all kinds of controller | 00:01 |
| raistlyn | on the xbox itself or on the computer ? | 00:01 |
| aboleth | computer | 00:01 |
| aboleth | why else would i be talking about this here? | 00:01 |
| aboleth | anyway | 00:01 |
| aboleth | i tried fixing it | 00:01 |
| aboleth | following this advice: | 00:01 |
| raistlyn | look if your using a controller hooked to a puter and it is for xbox then u need to use the emulator | 00:01 |

| aboleth | until yesterday | 00:02 |
| aboleth | because i upgraded to 8.10 | 00:02 |
| aboleth | did you even read what i said? | 00:02 |
| raistlyn | do u have the emulator installed ? | 00:02 |

| mdg | Can anyone guide me with regard to 8.10 PPC repositories? | 00:03 |
| aboleth | i used it before on windows | 00:03 |
| aboleth | it was a pain to set up though | 00:03 |
| aboleth | but what would an emulator have to do with ubuntu detecting my controller as a mouse? | 00:03 |
| Flannel | aboleth: You don't need one. You just install one package and it works. | 00:04 |
| raistlyn | aboleth: if u do not think the emulator is not relevant in 8.10 then u need to do some reading | 00:04 |
| oCean_ | mdg: ppc? As in PowerPC? | 00:04 |
| aboleth | raistlyn: what emulator? | 00:04 |
| aboleth | or rather | 00:04 |
| raistlyn | flannel: in Ubuntu 8.10 all those packages r in the emulator packages for console games like xbox ps3 sega | 00:04 |
| aboleth | which? | 00:04 |
| mdg | For PPC, from System, Administration, Sources, the download port is listed ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports (no ending slash) - is that why I can't get any PPC packages? | 00:05 |

| oCean_ | ader10: I don't get it | 00:14 |
| ader10 | oCean_, sudo ln -s "/media/storage/My Music/flac/" music/ will create a folder flac/ inside music/ | 00:15 |
| ader10 | I just want flac/'s contents inside music | 00:15 |
| stdin | mdg: you need to change security.ubuntu.com to ports.ubuntu.com too | 00:15 |
| oCean_ | ader10: what does "ls -al music" list, after you created the link? | 00:15 |
| mdg | stdin: In sources.list or sources.list.d or both? | 00:15 |
| ader10 | flac -> /media/storage/My Music/flac/ | 00:15 |
| ader10 | thanks for ls -al, I didn't know about that earlier xD | 00:16 |
| elli222 | nautilus makes links very well | 00:16 |
| stdin | mdg: anywhere where security.ubuntu.com is mentioned | 00:16 |
| ader10 | But still, inside music/, there is flac/ instead of flac/'s contents | 00:16 |
| mdg | stdin: Should sources.list.d have more than just medibuntu in it? | 00:16 |
| oCean_ | ader10: well, that is correct isn't it? You linked two directories. So do "ls -al flac/" <-- trailing slash | 00:16 |
| elli222 | then link the content of flac to there... | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | 00:16 | |
| stdin | mdg: by default it's empty, it just lets you keep groups of repositories separate | 00:17 |
| ader10 | oCean_, How do I get flac/'s contents inside of music/? | 00:17 |
| oCean_ | ader10: not | 00:17 |
| mdg | stdin: okay, let me go check my sources.list | 00:17 |
| ader10 | Such a disappointment :( | 00:17 |
| oCean_ | ader10: you create a link to a directory. So when you list that LINK, it will show the link, but | 00:18 |
| Formode | So, trying to get MPD to stream to my Icecast... However about a minute after I start MPD my stream stops working... ANy ideas? | 00:18 |

| oCean_ | so | 00:18 |
| nightrid3r | dreamy: | 00:18 |
| oCean_ | ader10: ls -al flac -- lists the link (to the actual directory) but ls -al flac/ will list the contents of "/blah/blah/my music/flac" | 00:19 |

| Formode | wrektjet, are you trying to install Windows Drivers that will not work on Linux? | 00:25 |
| wrektjet | i mean the aurorun is an inf file but these drivers should work. they are the drivers that come with my mobo | 00:25 |
| Formode | So they are drivers that will not work on linux. :-P | 00:26 |
| wrektjet | they were hardware compatible as far as i know | 00:26 |
| basix | hello all! can someone please point me to a tool that'll process my apache access logs and produce some interesting results? I'm particularly interested in looking at the queries that are landing people on my pages. | 00:26 |
| Formode | They are windows executables, won't work. xD | 00:26 |
| wrektjet | well the videocard was hardware compatible when i checked | 00:26 |
| bernz | wrektjet, what format are they in? if .dll, .inf, etc, no luck :-( | 00:26 |
| Formode | wrektjet, Windows Drivers do not work on linux. Check the repos for graphic card drivers if you need those. | 00:26 |
| bernz | wrektjet, manufacturers often offer linux drivers for their motherboards at the homesite of the manuf. | 00:26 |
| wrektjet | oh ok thats how it goes | 00:27 |
| wrektjet | fine thank you ill follow up on that i dint realize | 00:27 |
| wrektjet | thanks Formode and bernz | 00:27 |
| bernz | wrektjet, if you have NVidia or ATI (e.g. Radeon), there is a community/manuf co-op driver (i believe)... it works fairly well (i'm using it on ATI Radeon HD2600) | 00:28 |

| killindillin | thanx | 00:32 |
| solexious_ | bazhang, Just what I was looking for :) | 00:32 |
| bernz | wrektjet, okay, there's a thingy called 'envyng' (the 2nd-gen version of 'envy'), which is a sort of "installation wizard" that helps you install the special drivers for nvidia or ATI cards... i'm not recommending it (some people will argue against, for various reasons, and i'm not starting a debate), but visiting the site will give you more info on how to install the drivers manually (or just try some web searching on your driver model) | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: having a seperate home for an Ubuntu install is a great idea by the way. don't make your root / partition massive either. so like 10 to 16GB should be fine. and 1GB or so swap is good | 00:33 |
| Formode | So, trying to get MPD to stream to my Icecast... However about a minute after I start MPD my stream stops working... ANy ideas? | 00:33 |

| bernz | frank_austin, i don't know enough about the update process to say whether it could modify your theme/desktop-settings, but... try selecting a new theme anyway and see if it "resets" stuff | 00:38 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: what version of ubuntu ? | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: yep Ubuntu should work in a virtual machine in Vista, but Vista as the host hummmm | 00:38 |
| riwa | storm-zen: How do you "fix" it? | 00:38 |
| Formode | killinkillin, Vista runs on 1 gb of ram? | 00:39 |

| sebsebseb | !sound | storm-zen | 00:39 |
| ubottu | storm-zen: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:39 |
| storm-zen | riwa: I come on here, and follow the instructions that I'm given until it seems to work. | 00:39 |
| frank_austin | bernz: not having any effect. | 00:39 |
| gabrielR | erUSUL could it be 2.6.18-12-fza-686-bigmem ? | 00:39 |
| bernz | Formode, hmm... well, if it's using TCP, connections can drop even inside a LAN (say by a peer forcibly closing, due to an error)... are there system/app logs for the programs (icecast, etc)? perhaps they will reveal something | 00:39 |
| storm-zen | riwa: Or I go to #alsa, and do the same process. | 00:39 |
| elli222 | sebsebseb, Were talking about wubi, not Virtual Machines | 00:39 |
| tonsofpcs | where can i find the xmms package for hardy | 00:39 |
| riwa | storm-zen: And then it works until you reboot? | 00:39 |
| frank_austin | bernz: the theme is not changing anything which suggests something deeper is broken. | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | elli222: no I mentioned both things | 00:39 |
| Formode | bernz, thats all the logs said... Socket Timeout. :-/ | 00:39 |
| elli222 | !etc | 00:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about etc | 00:39 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: do "lsb_release -a" but | 00:39 |
| bernz | frank_austin, well, one cheap trick that *might* work is to simply restart the window manager -- make sure all important apps/docs are closed safely, and then CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE (IIRC) | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | elli222: I was giving him the options for running Ubuntu | 00:40 |
| killindillin | formode: what is a good virtual mahine program | 00:40 |
| killindillin | for a noob | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | Virtualbox of course | 00:40 |
| killindillin | k | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | get the binary from their site | 00:40 |
| bazhang | !xmms | tonsofpcs | 00:40 |
| ubottu | tonsofpcs: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 00:40 |
| storm-zen | sometimes it works after a few reboots and then dies. | 00:40 |
| elli222 | !rc-default | 00:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rc-default | 00:40 |
| __mikem | killindillin, free would be virtual box, otherwise vmware | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: or you won't have USB suppourt | 00:40 |
| riwa | storm-zen: Then I have no idea, sorry. | 00:40 |
| bernz | Formode, so the next question is *who* owns the socket that timed out... (which apps) | 00:41 |
| _VIM_ | there's a free vmware too _mikem | 00:41 |
| gabrielR | erUSUL 8.10 | 00:41 |
| tonsofpcs | bazhang: that's nice that it's no longer being developed, why did it disappear? | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: so the closed version instead of open source yeah. http://www.virtualbox.org | 00:41 |
| tonsofpcs | it should still be in the repo | 00:41 |
| __mikem | _VIM_, yes, but vmware server sucks, and vmware player requires the use of easyvmx or something | 00:41 |
| elli222 | !shadow | 00:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about shadow | 00:41 |
| _VIM_ | i | 00:41 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: with a 2.6.18 kernel ?? but anyway if its 8.10 the package is there in universe | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: now as I said wubi and virtualbox will be good for trying Ubuntu, but then really you should partition a hard disk for real later on for Ubuntu :) | 00:41 |
| Formode | bernz, Hold on trying a new config. :) | 00:41 |
| bernz | frank_austin, have you done a Web search about "revert" "default" "desktop" "theme" "GNOME" and other such keywords (together especially)? | 00:42 |
| _VIM_ | I'll agree _mikem the vmware server's web interface... is horrid :) | 00:42 |
| elli222 | Guys, i am modifying my /etc/event.d/rc-default. I want to know if this will work. thanks: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/133193/ PLEASE HELP! | 00:42 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: go to system>Administration>Software Sources make sure universe is enabled on the first tab | 00:42 |
| frank_austin | bernz: I'll try that... | 00:42 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb:and virtual box will work with the latest version of ubuntu | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: of course | 00:42 |
| gabrielR | erUSUL it seems I can't get any GUI since i'm on a VPS.. how do I do that in command line? | 00:42 |
| killindillin | thanx | 00:42 |
| __mikem | _VIM_, no, I am talking about how vmware server uses network sockets to serve the display, even if its being served locally | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: it will run any OS for the PC, well not sure about Hackintosh :D | 00:42 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: check the /etc/apt/sources.list file | 00:43 |
| storm-zen | I also have this problem where anytime a system bell sounds, it dumps the entire Xorg session. | 00:43 |
| storm-zen | Anyone heard of that one? | 00:43 |
| __mikem | _VIM_, this leads to the most horrific graphics performance available in a VM | 00:43 |
| bernz | Formode, sometimes you can adjust settings to make sockets block indefinitely (until an event occurs) and stuff like that... but that's all in the documentation of the app (plus the related RFCs on TCP, UDP, and other common socket stuff) | 00:43 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb:i'm runnin vista right now on my laptop | 00:43 |
| _VIM_ | __mikem: ah, gotcha | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: yes, and maybe you don't really need Vista | 00:43 |
| killindillin | no i want vista | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: why? | 00:43 |
| killindillin | i like it | 00:43 |
| {bosco} | i do have one question if i am logged into my vps/deticated server how do i tell that i am actually running a deticted server and that i am not getting a vps when it is supposed to be a deticated | 00:43 |
| {bosco} | i run ubuntu | 00:44 |
| killindillin | i grew up with windows | 00:44 |
| gabrielR | erUSUL I have "intrepid main", "intrepid-updates main" and "intrepid-security main" | 00:44 |
| bernz | storm-zen, that has the sound of a classic 70s hacker tale, but i've never heard of it... can you disable the system bell sound? :-D | 00:44 |
| frank_austin | bernz: google search revealed several threads suggesting dumpint ubuntu because this is 'always' happening with updates :| | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: ok well I expect a bit more free space can be made, and you can dual boot on that hard disk | 00:44 |
| storm-zen | bernz: No. Even though I've tried. | 00:44 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: seems you do not have universe.... very weird | 00:44 |

| gabrielR | erUSUL how can I add it? | 00:45 |
| bernz | then again, i haven't noticed any issues (so i guess i was just lucky) | 00:45 |
| frank_austin | bernz: It only happened after restarting | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: maybe put on the external then. altough being able to run two OS's at the same time is pretty damn sweet so yeah virtual machine. | 00:45 |
| _VIM_ | haha sebsebseb stop beating dead horses! | 00:45 |
| storm-zen | bernz: Closest I can get is to do use gTerm... it has an option to stop the system bells. Unfortunately, I keep finding other places where the system bell is used... ... like when something isn't found on a web page when searching for text... | 00:46 |
| bernz | frank_austin, ahhh -- i didn't have to restart (probably i wasn't running enough applications to lock any system files that might need replacement) | 00:46 |
| frank_austin | bernz: I restarted because firefox wouldn't open a new window after the updates. | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | _VIM_: heh indeed I guess | 00:46 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: add this twoo lines. deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid universe | 00:46 |

| tonsofpcs | can someone suggest a media player that has a built in pan feature? | 00:46 |
| erUSUL | gabrielR: you do not have those lines comented out ? in the file? | 00:46 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb: thank you but how big a usb drive i need to run ubuntu | 00:46 |
| bernz | storm-zen, yeah, it would need to be some kind of system-wide setting... so... is it maybe the app/daemon that's trying to actually play the sound (which i expect is a digitized file, not the actual PC speaker)? | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: Flash Stick or external hard disk? | 00:47 |
| killindillin | flash stick | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: a default install of Ubuntu takes up about 1GB | 00:47 |
| gabrielR | erUSUL no not at all | 00:47 |
| bernz | frank_austin, have you restarted since? maybe something "missed" during the update, but will be caught the second time 'round (i've used windows too long :-) | 00:47 |
| storm-zen | bernz: Pretty sure that it's the speaker. .. the beep is the last thing I hear before everything goes black... | 00:47 |
| killindillin | WOW ubuntu only takes one gig!!!!! | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | yep a default install about 1GB | 00:48 |
| _VIM_ | actually that's a lot compared to most distros | 00:48 |
| frank_austin | bernz: yes, I tried restarting straight away. | 00:48 |
| storm-zen | bernz: And it happens on console, mostly, when the window flashes... | 00:48 |
| _VIM_ | some are 50 megs or less | 00:48 |
| killindillin | i couldnt put knoppix on a 4 gig flash drive | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | _VIM_: ha ha sure if it's puppy linux or damn small linux | 00:48 |
| bernz | storm-zen, do you have "fancy" graphics on? | 00:48 |
| mdg | Anyone have any luck installing rt73USB wifi adapter with serial monkey driver? | 00:48 |
| _VIM_ | well a distro is a distro :P | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: 4GB flash drive perfect | 00:48 |
| storm-zen | bernz: Yes. Why would that affect the system bell? | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: ,but you can't have all the rather good Linux stuff | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: no point bother with Kubuntu as well for example, since the lack of space | 00:49 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb : like what? | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | Kubuntu | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | Xubuntu | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | hell loads of choice with Linux | 00:49 |
| killindillin | ya | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | loads of great apps | 00:49 |
| bernz | storm-zen, well, if it's using "fancy" stuff to flash/fade the console (along with the bell), maybe there's a bug in the driver, which is caught by an exception handler, which just bails (and takes X with it) | 00:49 |
| bernz | storm-zen, (of course, that's just a wild guess, but -- try turning off fancy effects and see if that has a positive effect?) | 00:50 |
| storm-zen | bernz: Ah. That's a reasonable interpretation. | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: I think a dynamically expanding Virtualbox VM is a good idea | 00:50 |
| skyl | why does iptables -L take a long time to return? | 00:50 |
| storm-zen | skyl: Did you use sudo? | 00:50 |
| kaista | hi anyone have an idea why my keyboard would not work on an ubuntu install, worked on setup obviously and first boot then stopped working however i can ctrl alt del to shutdown still | 00:50 |
| bernz | storm-zen, i'm keen to find out the result if you're able to test it reasonably soon :-) | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: it won't take up that much space on your hard disk, unless you start putting loads of big data in to it | 00:51 |
| skyl | storm-zen yes, I am timing it right now | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: yeah Linux programs take up hardly any space, unlike Windows programs | 00:51 |
| kaista | sorry not install, just stopped working second time round | 00:51 |
| storm-zen | Ok, bernz. | 00:51 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb:those programs u said could i fit some of them and ubuntu on a 16 gig flashdrive | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: yep you can do it all on that | 00:51 |

| sebsebseb | killindillin: to be honest I don't like KDE4 that much, which is the only KDE in 8.10 hardy heron has KDE3 and 4 as options :) KDE 3 :d | 00:52 |
| skyl | Jaunty has not caused me any problems for the month I have been on it and it is def. the best ubuntu experience I have had yet | 00:53 |
| storm-zen | randal: You can probably find that on #wine? | 00:53 |
| bernz | frank_austin, that sounds interesting... take your time, and make backups as necessary ;-) | 00:53 |
| storm-zen | .. or not. | 00:53 |
| randal | storm-zen: theres no one on that channel | 00:53 |
| killindillin | k thanx | 00:53 |
| frank_austin | randal: use vmware rather than wine - I've found it much more reliable. | 00:53 |
| randal | frank_austin: vmware is a emulator | 00:53 |
| bernz | frank_austin, are you forcing the config to be "missing" in the hopes of GNOME creating default configs for you, or do you have a "default set" available? | 00:53 |
| randal | frank_austin: wine is not a emulator and can you even play games on vmware | 00:54 |
| frank_austin | bernz: I'm hoping on the basis of http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ | 00:54 |
| bernz | frank_austin, oh good to hear about vmware -- i've been thinking about how to run old windows stuff like eeprom burners which only work on win32... i wasn't decided, but i keep hearing votes for vmware. cheers | 00:54 |

| porter1 | There's always virtualbox as well if you don't like Vmware | 00:56 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: 8.04 is long term suppourt also. and not that much difference between 8.10 and 8.04. with the next Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu at the end of April. have you had Ubuntu installed before? well you have the options now. so do what you you want to do, and that can be for trying. Then you could do a more proper long term install once Jaunty is out. That's my suggestion. | 00:56 |
| bernz | Pretto, nope, but i'd like to learn about it too -- i have an NVidia MCP51 USB 2.0 controller that is "hiding" from Linux | 00:56 |
| bernz | frank_austin, yeah, good deal! smart move | 00:56 |
| bernz | frank_austin, if you still have your "desktop" CD, you could run it "live", then steal its X config, copy it to your hard drive (mount it temporarily in the live session -- don't forget to unmount safely before restart!) | 00:57 |

| _VIM_ | frank_austin: as i said 5 mins ago, that post is 2 years old, maybe look for a more up-to-date one | 01:00 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb: i maybe can do that but with a longterm installation do mean i take virtual box and just be able to run two oses at the same time or dual boot | 01:00 |
| frank_austin | _VIM_: fair point but I don't think reseting the theme is addressing the real problem. | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: I mean use 8.10 for trying things | 01:00 |
| killindillin | k | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: then do 9.04 for a real proper long term install | 01:01 |
| bernz | Pretto, it sounds like my problem is slightly "deeper" in the system (no kernel messages even during plug/unplug events, although the same USB device on my working controllers (on expansion card) *do* print kernel messages for events) | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: and I assume by the time that's released Ext4 will be good enough to use as the file system instead of Ext3 | 01:01 |
| bernz | Pretto, but that's a great link nonetheless -- i'm definitely going to read that post and try stuff out with some of my weirder USB devices | 01:02 |

| killindillin | and when u say long term u mean i will be using it like all the time but i kcan be running it of virtual box | 01:02 |
| Pretto | bernz, ok, i wish you luck | 01:02 |
| killindillin | right | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: I mean long term, the one you don't re install. the one you just upgrade to newer versions | 01:02 |
| anom01y | does anyone here know how I can connect to a shared printer in XP with ubuntu (cups) ? they are both connected to the same router | 01:02 |

| storm-zen | bernz: Ok... disabling desktop effects did not work. Neither did uninstalling compiz, though, I did notice that did not remove the visual effects tab... | 01:03 |
| bernz | Pretto, thanks, and you the same -- one place you might also want to check (which i will soon) is the USB developers' mailing list (can't remember the name, but search for "greg kroah-hartman", a USB wizard -- he'll link to the list for sure) | 01:03 |

| killindillin | sebsebseb: oh you mean a dual boot right and i just update the os like vista right. | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: the host OS the one that is on the hard disk for real. and the guest the one that is in the vm | 01:03 |
| Pretto | bernz, thank you very much | 01:04 |
| killindillin | ya vista came preinstalled | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: a proper partitioned dual boot would be good once 9.04 is out. and also with Ext4 as the file system instead of Ext3, if it is indeed stable enough by then. | 01:04 |
| killindillin | so i'm pretty much srewed then | 01:04 |

| bernz | storm-zen, if you uninstall your sound drivers (ALSA, JACK, etc), and it fixes the problem, then when you reinstall, check each time you add a new "piece", and you might find the culprit | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: also I expect OS's run quicker from the internal hard disk | 01:07 |
| killindillin | ahhhhhhhh....my keyboard is spazzing out | 01:07 |
| bernz | storm-zen, (i mean when you reinstall the sound systems) | 01:07 |
| killindillin | kk | 01:07 |
| luddite | i cant hibernate ubuntu whilst virtualbox is running a winxpp vm. | 01:07 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: you shoudn't use your internal hard disk as the major storage device, and so you should have data on extenral hard disk. and both even for data you want to make sure to never lose | 01:07 |
| === _VIM_ is now known as [-VIM-] | ||
| bernz | storm-zen, i understand if you're unwilling to try that, because it *is* a lot of fuss | 01:08 |
| storm-zen | bernz: Uninstalling pulseaudio looks like it will uninstall ubuntu-desktop | 01:08 |
| freeksh0w86 | Can I get Flash audio to work with pulseaudio somehow? I need both Audacity AND Youtube to have fully working sound at the moment. | 01:08 |
| dimitree | How do i get the iconv library ? AM_ICONV: command not found ? | 01:08 |
| binarymutant | when I run debdiff I keep getting gpg errors, how can I fix this? | 01:09 |
| alecwh_d | Every time I login, I need to do a 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' in order to get my wifi card working. Is there a way to fix this so it will automatically work when I turn on my computer? | 01:09 |
| solid_liquid | !ping | 01:09 |
| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 01:09 |
| crink | !opensparc | 01:10 |
| solid_liquid | !ping | 01:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about opensparc | 01:10 |
| bernz | storm-zen, in that case, maybe it's too annoying/difficult/annoyingly difficult to "reset" the whole sound system; maybe we could figure out the path the terminal takes to the speakers (i.e. identify the sound system being used, and look more closely at it) | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: virtual machines are pretty damn interesting, and so for trying Ubuntu for your first time with 8.10, even though Vista is the host, I would recommend doing Ubuntu like that. if Vista was the guest, you could just copy it like a normal OS file. and delete it like one as well. so if a virus for example, just use a clean backup copy | 01:10 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, there is... you want to learn about "run levels", and the '/etc/init.d/' magical directory hierarchy | 01:10 |
| frank_austin | I wish there was an undo button for updates! | 01:10 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb:ok your saying that i can keep vista and its data on the hdd then put all my important stuff on a cd or flash drive and put ubuntu on the hdd then its files on a external hdd | 01:10 |
| freeksh0w86 | !sound | 01:11 |
| 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 | 01:11 |
| flatcoke | Is there anyway to restore or repair your wireless drivers? I screwed up mine and can't get it back to it's working state. eth1 is lost! | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: I am saying you can make some more space, by moving data off your internal hard disk yeah | 01:11 |
| alecwh_d | bernz: i'll check it out, is there a quick way to do it? | 01:11 |
| killindillin | k now i get u | 01:11 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, basically, when your computer starts, it goes through various "run levels", which are "how much you can interact with it" in most systems, so on one of the lower levels, you could add a command to its start script to launch your custom thingy (e.g. modprobe or whatever) | 01:11 |
| WizMedic | It works! new to ubuntu and got xchat to work. | 01:11 |
| JanneJM2 | I'm unable to install 8.10 amd64 version on a Dell Precision with NVIDIA Quadro graphics. The install CD boots at first (with the progress bar graphic), but drops into a console. Running "startx" just gives me "Fatal server error: no screens found". The graphics cards are listed when I do "lspci". | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: altough it depends what kind of data you have really, because if you only got small files | 01:11 |
| freeksh0w86 | Why can't Audacity and youtube vids just share the sound device instead of fighting over it? | 01:12 |
| killindillin | important stuff on a cd and crud can stay on hdd | 01:12 |
| killindillin | thus freeing stuff up | 01:12 |
| killindillin | ?? | 01:12 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, if you poke around in '/etc/init.d/', you'll quickly see the general structure; then edit the appropriate 'rc' file as root (use sudo on your editor), and find a good spot... these scripts are shell-like, so if you know shell scripts (like batch files), you'll see the spot to put your command soon) | 01:12 |
| schnauzer | freeksh0w86: what version of audacity do you have? | 01:12 |
| alecwh_d | bernz: thanks | 01:13 |
| alecwh_d | a lot! | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: well for a dual boot. you need to make your self. well you do the maths :D ,but the Ubuntu / partition should be like 16GB. a 1GB swap partition. and a seperate home partition that is a few GB's or more. | 01:13 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, no worries | 01:13 |
| freeksh0w86 | schnauzer: the version that is in the default repos of Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: you don't even know what I mean by those yet? | 01:13 |
| AnyaJ | this might sound like a dumb question, but when installing libraries, where is the typical place to install them if many people will be accessing them? | 01:13 |
| AnyaJ | i mean many users | 01:13 |
| freeksh0w86 | 1.3.5-beta? | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: / is where Ubuntu and all it's programs go | 01:13 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb:i know what u mean but what is swap | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: swap is virtual memory, hard disk space, that it will use as if it were RAM, if it's needed | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | !swap | 01:14 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 01:14 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, on my desktop intrepid, i have '/etc/init.d/rc' -- that's not necessarily *the* best file to use, but it's close, and maybe okay -- the experts can make a call here if they are at their keyboards :-) | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: have you tried Ubuntu from the Live CD or something already? | 01:15 |
| cactaur | Does gdebi come with Intrepid? | 01:15 |
| Luksor | algum programador python? | 01:15 |
| [-VIM-] | !info gdebi | 01:15 |
| schnauzer | freeksh0w86: That's odd, I don't have any problems with audacity & fighting over sound... | 01:15 |
| ubottu | gdebi (source: gdebi): Simple tool to install deb files. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.13 (intrepid), package size 31 kB, installed size 228 kB | 01:15 |
| [-VIM-] | yep | 01:15 |
| killindillin | no i was goin to try knoppix first | 01:15 |
| killindillin | see if i like linux | 01:15 |
| freeksh0w86 | schnauzer: whoah this is odd... audacity FINALLY let me select Alsa: default as the output and that worked lol | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: you run the ISO's of Live CD's inside Virtualbox instead of burning to CD, by the way | 01:15 |
| alecwh_d | bernz: looking through the file, it looks like code... while I can follow the logical structure, where should I put my command? | 01:16 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, i think '/usr/lib' is the place | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: Knoppix is a nice Live CD distro, but for a proper distro Ubuntu is a great one | 01:16 |
| freeksh0w86 | All I can say... PulseAudio will never be as l33t as ALSA or DirectSound and killing its process is the best solution :/ | 01:16 |
| killindillin | i probly will like it because linux is half command promt and half desktop....right?? | 01:16 |
| schnauzer | freeksh0w86: maybe that's what I did... I remember I changed some sort of configuration to get it to behave, just couldn't remember what it was | 01:16 |
| killindillin | ya i know bout knoppix j | 01:16 |
| killindillin | k* | 01:17 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, and of course, a subdir of "your own" in there, not just right in '/usr/lib'... or... maybe just right in there... i dunno :-) you can read up about the "standard linux file system hierarchy" or something similar (maybe 'unix' in place of 'linux' in the previous) | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: that depends on the distro, but yes the shell (terminal) is very powerful in Linux | 01:17 |
| AnyaJ | thanks bernz i will. | 01:17 |
| killindillin | ya like msdos and half xp right??? | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | !shell | 01:17 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:17 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, well, you want to find the runlevel that will be probably "before" X starts (usually that's a high number), and you want it there for your "command line only" level (single-user, i think it's called) | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | heh even ubottu says it's very powerful :d | 01:18 |
| frank_austin | bernz: I'm still really stuck because although the basic desktop comes up there is no network etc. It seems like something is stopping part way through starting all of the usual services. | 01:18 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, so maybe level 2 or 3... take a look at whatever handles those | 01:18 |
| ader10 | I can't install mpd. Please help. http://pastebin.com/m66090cce | 01:18 |
| crink | !opengl | 01:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl | 01:18 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: Ubuntu can be GUI GUI GUI GUI, or it can be comands commands commands commands | 01:18 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: or a mixture of both | 01:18 |
| bernz | frank_austin, hmm... well, i had lots of wifi network problems in kubuntu on my laptop, but that was a few releases ago (probably 6 or 7) | 01:19 |
| crink | !microcode | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about microcode | 01:19 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: other distros, are mainly about commands | 01:19 |
| bernz | (erm, probably release numbers 6 or 7) | 01:19 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, i'm going to look at my 'rc'... | 01:19 |
| oh_noes | Whats the difference between compiz, and using 'Extra' effects in Apperance tab? | 01:19 |
| diguinho | hi. anyone know why I'm selecting New York on the clock but it's saying EDT instead of EST | 01:19 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb:thank you.....so i can run command line...command line with desktop with command line as more of a priority...or i can have half and half | 01:20 |
| lstarnes | diguinho: it is eastern daylight time during daylight savings time | 01:20 |
| alecwh_d | bernz: gah, I'm looking. I really should invest more time in learning linux directory structure. | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: we got newbie friendly distros, where they have graphical installers and nice graphical programs. then text based installer distros with a lot of commandline as well. | 01:20 |
| diguinho | but I want to know EST hour | 01:20 |
| diguinho | not EDT | 01:20 |
| lstarnes | diguinho: EDT - 1 | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: well Ubuntu calls it the terminal, but the more hardcore Linux people will call it The Shell | 01:20 |
| basti | ader10, google the error and you will find thsi: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio#For_Distros_where_PulseAudio_output_is_broken | 01:20 |
| JanneJM2 | Anyone? I'm unable to install 8.10 amd64 version on a Dell Precision with NVIDIA Quadro graphics. The install CD boots at first (with the progress bar graphic), but drops into a console. Running "startx" just gives me "Fatal server error: no screens found". The graphics cards are listed when I do "lspci". | 01:20 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, yes, once you get a few important branches "inside your head", things go much smoother/faster :-) | 01:20 |
| diguinho | i never know if -1 gmt count clockwise or counter | 01:21 |
| frank_austin | bernz: yes, well... this was an upgrade that has caused a theme ?reset and seems to have prevented a lot of my startup programs from running, including the network manager. Strangely tomboy notes come up fine so its got a fair way down the list. | 01:21 |
| diguinho | anyway | 01:21 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, near the end of the file is a 'rc.boot' mentioned... maybe that's the ticket? | 01:21 |
| diguinho | is it summer time in NY? | 01:21 |
| lstarnes | diguinho: it is | 01:21 |
| basti | ader10, i mean this http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio#For_Distros_where_PulseAudio_access_rights_are_broken | 01:21 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: software is much quicker to install in Ubuntu with commands, but there is also a rather nice Synaptic Package Manager which is graphical | 01:21 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb: i know that...but i'm a linux noob....and a windows geek...so explain it to me as a noob | 01:21 |
| alecwh_d | bernz: maybe I should put the command in the /etc/rc.boot file? | 01:21 |
| bernz | frank_austin, i wouldn't depend on order in the list to tell you anything solid about what's going wrong (but that's just my gut) | 01:21 |
| Sagaci | spring time | 01:22 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, precisely, that might get executed on every boot -- just what you want | 01:22 |
| andrewfree | Im trying to get an email server working but the telnet part is being weird! I cant tell why it only works one way http://www.grabup.com/uploads/3630815f1ca8d97e093b821f894794ad.png?direct | 01:22 |
| ader10 | basti: thank you (I was searching but didn't come across that) | 01:22 |
| basti | http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=E%3A+client-conf-x11.c%3A+XOpenDisplay()+failed&btnG=Suche&meta= | 01:22 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, what i might also do is some research on this "rc.boot" -- is it a typical/common file on 'nix systems, etc? | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: think of add or remove programs in Windows. Now imagine if you could search for programs in it that you wanted to install. Then were able to just say that you wanted to install them, and it downloaded and installed it for you. There it was on the menu, you didn't have to run an installer. Well that's what you get with Synaptic Package Manager. | 01:22 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, you might even do 'man rc.boot' for more info | 01:22 |
| ader10 | basix: It doesn't work. | 01:23 |
| frank_austin | bernz: ok, I'll see if its something there... | 01:23 |
| alecwh_d | bernz: thanks a lot! | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: the terminal for example: sudo apt-get install programname and it just downloads it off the server and installs it for you, and there it is in the menu. ,but menus? you don't need a menu to open programs, just put the name of it in the terminal press enter and it opens | 01:23 |
| diguinho | 21:00 EDT is 20:00 EST ? | 01:23 |
| lstarnes | diguinho: yes | 01:23 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: your smtp is listening only to 127.0.0.1 edit the conf | 01:23 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: /etc/ what one? | 01:24 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, it's kinda like a One True Download Website for great apps, with no spam, no BS, no dead links, no ads, and tested, working, actively-developed software! holy crap! :-D | 01:24 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: depends on the smtpd | 01:24 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb,thank you.....thank u...thank u....3/4 of you guys i cant undestand. | 01:24 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: Postfix | 01:24 |
| bernz | (and most importantly, not dependent on a web browser) | 01:24 |
| killindillin | bernz, thank u | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: yep thousands of packages (programs are called packages in Linux) you can get just like that | 01:24 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: . | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: websites lol, only for stuff that isn't in the repo, but not much of that you will want to run anyway | 01:25 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: /etc/postfix/postfix.conf | 01:25 |
| bernz | alecwh_d, okay, if that works -- maybe post a blurb about it here (for the log, and searchers) -- saying how you fixed your problem :-) | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | !repo | 01:25 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 01:25 |
| killindillin | cool no more bs | 01:25 |
| alecwh_d | bernz: okay! | 01:25 |
| frank_austin | bernz: it looks like the latest 8.10 updates have seriously broken something. When I try to launch nm-applet at the command line I get 'libnssutil3.so.1d: cannot open... | 01:25 |
| bernz | killindillin, yeah, no worries -- i felt like a kid in a candy store the first time i ran 'Add/Remove' :-D | 01:25 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: Its blank!! wtf | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: yes and did you read it or someone tell you? no viruses or spyware or any of that either. well they can make for LInux, but you have to know what your doing to instal it. or have no firewall. and a really bad password | 01:26 |
| killindillin | thanx | 01:26 |
| bernz | frank_austin, well, it'll be painful, but you can reinstall the missing libs one by one until things are back to normal... use synaptic if it's still working | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: ever been in the Windows registry messing around? how boring and tedicious yes? | 01:26 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: /etc/postfix/main.cf | 01:27 |
| frank_austin | bernz: with no network that is a tad tricky | 01:27 |
| killindillin | kind of | 01:27 |
| killindillin | ya | 01:27 |
| frank_austin | bernz: trying for a CD... | 01:27 |
| bernz | frank_austin, if X is too busted, use 'aptitude' from a terminal | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: home is like a cross between, my documents, program files, and the windows registry, but done right as user data files for programs in hidden .folders | 01:27 |
| bernz | frank_austin, don't forget to 'sudo' | 01:27 |
| killindillin | cool | 01:27 |
| Bagualas | I have a asus g2s and all my sound isnt working... just the top speakers... what can that be? please help! | 01:27 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html | 01:27 |
| killindillin | brb got to go google something | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: so let's say your using Firefox and your profile has gone wrong. you could just delete the .mozilla folder and it would be like you had a clean install again of Firefox | 01:28 |
| AnyaJ | i'm trying to get lesstif on my system | 01:28 |
| frank_austin | bernz: thanks... back soon. | 01:28 |
| bernz | frank_austin, oh, right -- argh... well... if you still have your install CD, you can tell some package managers/libs (e.g. apt) to get sources from the CD, and avoid the network | 01:28 |
| AnyaJ | how do i know which of the packages i need? | 01:28 |
| AnyaJ | in the repositories, that is | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | AnyaJ: depends what you want to do, which is? | 01:28 |
| AnyaJ | use the lesstif library | 01:28 |
| [-VIM-] | sebsebseb: or just run firefox in terminal with -ProfileManger switch :) | 01:28 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, use 'synaptic' and it will auto-dependency for you | 01:29 |
| AnyaJ | bernz, where do i do that? | 01:29 |
| AnyaJ | in terminal? | 01:29 |
| frank_austin | bernz: is there an easy way I can lookup which package supplies libnssutil3.so.1d? | 01:29 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, in the System | Administration menu | 01:29 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, there's 'Synaptic Package Manager' | 01:29 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: Nope.. oem@freekbox:/etc/postfix$ ls | 01:29 |
| andrewfree | dynamicmaps.cf main.cf master.cf postfix-files postfix-script post-install sasl | 01:29 |
| AnyaJ | sebsebseb, there's lesstif2 lesstif2-dev, lesstif-bin, one for fortran, one for gfortran | 01:29 |
| AnyaJ | bernz, i'm in there | 01:29 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, use the search widget to whittle down the list, find your target, and pick install type | 01:29 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: main.cf is there | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: why teaching him/her the slow way? | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: it seems they want to use the commandline | 01:30 |
| AnyaJ | bernz, but the problem is knowing which one i need | 01:30 |
| Bagualas | why ubuntu isnt reproducing sound in all the speakers of my notebook? | 01:30 |
| AnyaJ | thank you sebsebseb | 01:30 |
| Bagualas | just in the front ;( | 01:30 |
| AnyaJ | finally, sebsebseb an equal opportunity genderizer | 01:30 |
| abacan | would someone help me about how to separate debug info from executable? | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | AnyaJ: :) yeah thought you were a woman | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | AnyaJ: by the name | 01:30 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: as with all debian library packages, libBLA is the actual compiled library used by depending programs, libBLA-dev is the source headers you NEED to compile stuff against it, and libBLA-bin is auxiliary executables to go with it. | 01:30 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, well, i figure most users start with the desktop and migrate to the shell when they get more familiar with the system :-) | 01:31 |
| AnyaJ | heh heh alex-weej !!! | 01:31 |
| AnyaJ | thanks =) | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | AnyaJ: sudo aptitude programname also deals with dependancies better than apt-get | 01:31 |
| AnyaJ | alex-weej, do i need bin | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: true, but they were in the terminal asking about it, so they must know something | 01:31 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, oh, i see -- what alex-weej said :-D | 01:31 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, fair enough | 01:32 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: unlikely. | 01:32 |
| hajmola | will ibex be upgraded to gnome 2.26? | 01:32 |
| alex-weej | hajmola: yes | 01:32 |
| AnyaJ | thanks so much, alex-weej i think i know what i need | 01:32 |
| alex-weej | hajmola: no. | 01:32 |
| AnyaJ | and thanks for getting me off of manual installation. i'm always for learning where i am screwing up | 01:32 |
| alex-weej | hajmola: code names confuse me, sorry :P | 01:32 |
| Plasmon | need help, i was using partition magic, deleted my ubuntu partition so i could merge 2 ntfs partitions and now my grub partition is gone, not just grub itself | 01:32 |
| bernz | frank_austin, so, in that case, you can use stuff like 'apt-get install' and 'apt-get remove' to install and remove packages | 01:32 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: manual inst is something ex-windows users think they need to do | 01:32 |
| [-VIM-] | "will gnome be upgraded" would be more accurate of a question | 01:32 |
| bernz | frank_austin, and too adjust its sources (to avoid network, and use CD), there's a file at... (looking) | 01:33 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: im reading but I still dont know how to allow others to access it | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | AnyaJ: Synaptic can be good at times, but it's so slow compared to the commands | 01:33 |
| bernz | frank_austin, /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:33 |
| hajmola | alex-weej: oh that's ok... so jaunty (9.04) will come with 2.26 | 01:33 |
| bernz | frank_austin, you can read about that (probably in manual) for details | 01:33 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: change 127.0.0.1 to the ip of the box | 01:33 |
| alex-weej | hajmola: yes, it already has it | 01:33 |
| AnyaJ | alex-weej, why do they think they need to do that | 01:33 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: because that is what they are used to doing | 01:33 |
| AnyaJ | alex-weej, is there any value in it... honestly? | 01:34 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: no | 01:34 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: I cant find that in the main conf file I have this thou.. "mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 | 01:34 |
| andrewfree | " | 01:34 |
| AnyaJ | control over the situation maybe? | 01:34 |
| [-VIM-] | synaptic is good for searching, terminal is better for installing something you already know, of course you can search with terminal too 'apt-cache search xchat' for example | 01:34 |
| AnyaJ | -p | 01:34 |
| nightrid3r | adre | 01:35 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: mynetworks = all | 01:35 |
| AnyaJ | sebsebseb, so if i go to synaptic, and then i get what i want , and go to terminal and type say.... sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev.... will all the dependencies be installed along with it? | 01:35 |
| Flannel | AnyaJ: Yes | 01:35 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, beware of the "command line is the best, so anyone not using it is "wrong"" monster ;-) | 01:35 |
| AnyaJ | nice | 01:35 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: but you can do it all within synaptic... | 01:36 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: if you know what you need to do you can do it quicker with apt-get/aptitude command line | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: yeah well I open up synaptic for stuff I am not sure the name of :d ok sure I know there is some command to find out, but anyway | 01:36 |
| AnyaJ | alex-weej, thanks | 01:36 |
| AnyaJ | ok i'm ready to reinstall everything =) | 01:36 |
| GeorgeAScott | how do i fix "libraul.so.2: cannot open shared object file" trying to run patchage... | 01:36 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, i completely agree that command-line with expertise is best, but it takes most users a long time to be "comfortable" with it ;-) | 01:36 |
| trinidad_ | i have a question. I am running ubuntu 8.10 dual booted with vista. last night i whiped out my vista partition and resized it then reinstalled vista business. everything went fine with that. my question is when i reinstalled the grub via the live disk i now have two initrd.img and 2 vimlinz one of each was renamed to .old can i delete those old files? | 01:36 |
| AnyaJ | but i still think manual installation is imminent if your repositories don't contain your library, alex-weej | 01:37 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: no, just backport the deb | 01:37 |
| AnyaJ | crap more terminology! | 01:37 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: ;) | 01:37 |
| nightrid3r | trinidad_: if all works then yes | 01:37 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, and i've learned over the years that people always stop me and say "wait, gearhead, you're getting too technical", so i've adjusted my approach accordingly ;-=) | 01:37 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: you basically just get the source PACKAGE for e.g. jaunty 9.04 (not the original .tar.gz) and rebuild it for 8.10 | 01:38 |
| bernz | (anyway :-) | 01:38 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: most of the time it works fine | 01:38 |
| trinidad_ | thank you i was not sure if i could is there anything else that i will have to do when i do that | 01:38 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: and you can then just deploy that .deb file | 01:38 |
| Flannel | bernz, sebsebseb: absolutely nothing wrong with explaining how to use synaptic. For most people, it does exactly what they need, and terminal commands don't offer much, if any, benefits. | 01:38 |
| AnyaJ | alex-weej, but WHY? | 01:39 |
| AnyaJ | that sounds like unnecessary extra work | 01:39 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: it's less work, actually. | 01:39 |
| AnyaJ | oh. | 01:40 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: Stlll not working | 01:40 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: restart postfix | 01:40 |
| andrewfree | already did that | 01:40 |
| AnyaJ | alex-weej, you said: libcoin60 is in 9.04, but... are y ou suggesting i do with it what you just said? | 01:40 |
| bernz | alex-weej, i guess not all people are familiar with building from source yet ;-) | 01:40 |
| AnyaJ | bernz alex-weej is it really SAFE to do that?? | 01:41 |
| alex-weej | yes. most of the time the only reason it isn't in older versions is because it hasn't been requested | 01:41 |
| Flannel | AnyaJ: It is safe (assuming the source doesn't have bugs) | 01:41 |
| bernz | it's totally safe to do that, AnyaJ, yes | 01:41 |
| Flannel | !prevu | AnyaJ | 01:41 |
| ubottu | AnyaJ: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details | 01:41 |
| AnyaJ | is it something worth learning? | 01:41 |
| alex-weej | ooh didn't know about prevu. that sounds cool. | 01:41 |
| Flannel | AnyaJ: just use prevu. It does all the heavy lifting for you. | 01:41 |
| AnyaJ | *sigh* | 01:41 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: try rplaceing ALL with your actual ip | 01:41 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, it simply depends on your comfort level with the particular approach; it's totally worth learning how to build your own builds | 01:41 |
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: if you are going to be developing, i recommend you consider just using 9.04 | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | !jaunty | 01:42 |
| ubottu | Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 01:42 |
| andrewfree | k | 01:42 |
| bernz | AnyaJ, if you are going to be developing (not sure where i gleaned that for certain), you DEFINITELY need to be very comfortable with building | 01:42 |
| racerx | can someone help me with vpn connection? | 01:42 |
| AnyaJ | ok so i can learn to build with prevu? | 01:42 |
| lucax | how can i configure the resolution of my webcam on flash 10? | 01:43 |
| AnyaJ | not tonight though, i've got a ton to do and i've got to make this big clunk of code run | 01:43 |
| alex-weej | lucax: frankly you're lucky it even works at all. adobe suck. | 01:43 |
| === elpargo is now known as elpargo|away | ||
| alex-weej | AnyaJ: prevu looks like a piece of cake | 01:44 |
| storm-zen | How can I identify my soundcard? I think lspci has the wrong information. | 01:44 |
| AnyaJ | ok | 01:44 |
| racerx | anyone out there has successful vpn connection? I need help. I can ping by ip and by name resolution, but it is not connecting. | 01:44 |
| bernz | frank_austin, the package name itself should appear in aptitude | 01:45 |
| andrewfree | nightrid3r: still no | 01:45 |
| lucax | alex-weej, im streaming in ustream and thats the only solution i found, i installed adobe from adobes web and everything is working very ok, but with low resolution... i thought i could be v4l but it says thats running on 640x480 resolution and in flash i get 160x120 | 01:45 |
| bernz | frank_austin, otherwise, Web search on that name, and see if it's a smaller part of something else | 01:45 |
| dbbolton | my old desktop won't boot or display the bios when i turn it on. instead the pc speaker beeps repeatedly. what should i check? | 01:45 |
| nightrid3r | andrewfree: try #postfix then maybe they can help you | 01:46 |
| timob | i am using intrepid... anyone else have trouble with the spelling in pidgin? | 01:46 |
| dbbolton | timob make sure aspell is installed for your locale | 01:46 |
| marcusdavidus | hi | 01:46 |
| === mn is now known as zrs_12 | ||
| === zrs_12 is now known as mn | ||
| bernz | dbbolton, your IDE drive connectors are backwards, your RAM is misaligned/not fully seated, or... hmm... not sure what else | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | timob: not as such, but I woudn't rely on Pidgin for checking spelling | 01:47 |
| dbbolton | bernz could it be the video card? | 01:47 |
| bernz | dbbolton, oh yeah, probably any peripheral uses a row-of-finger-contacts connector could do it | 01:48 |
| frank_austin | bernz: I tried that search but got nothing. My best guess package (libnss3-1d) is not on the CD (or at least I can't mark it for re-installation :() | 01:48 |
| === mn is now known as zrs_12 | ||
| bernz | dbbolton, so reseat everything (absolutely everything that can be plugged/unplugged) | 01:48 |
| === zrs_12 is now known as mn | ||
| === robbit is now known as rob_it | ||
| timob | sebsebseb: thanks... no i dont sound so stupid :) | 01:50 |
| timob | now | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | timob: uh? what did I help you with? | 01:50 |
| Dreamglider | anyone know it there is a way to add CDFS filesystem to gparted in ubuntu ? | 01:50 |
| timob | aspell locale package | 01:51 |
| bernz | hmm.. frank_austin, did you know that you are using a "one", not an "ell" (lower-case) in your filename? i believe that file should end in "ell dee", not "one dee" | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | timob: oh the Pidgin spelling guy yeah | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | timob: may I recommend Abiword, for spelling and grammer checker | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | timob: it may not be perfect, but it seems to be pretty good | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | timob: oh I guess you need 8.10 or you get a rubbish version from the repo in 8.04 | 01:51 |
| bernz | Dreamglider, it might be that gparted is designed not to work on CDFS because it's a read-only system | 01:51 |
| sam555_ | has anyone used firestarter firewall in Ubuntu? | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | sam555_: of course | 01:52 |
| LogicFan | anyone heard of alsa dying when power management kicks in? | 01:52 |
| bernz | Dreamglider, are you trying to make an image of the CD, or...? (you can use 'dd' for that, probably) | 01:52 |
| sam555_ | sebsebseb: how do you enable it so that you can chose lan in the port policy section? | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | sam555_: firestarter is not that good according to many people. if you got a hardware firewall enabled in your router, you should be ok | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | sam555_: it's been ages since I did anything with firestarter, also you might want to learn something about iptables :D | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | !iptables | 01:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:52 |
| LogicFan | it seems everytime i let my laptop sit for a bit, alsa dies and i have to force reload alsa to get sound back | 01:53 |
| sam555_ | sebsebseb: mahalo! | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | sam555_: wtf? | 01:53 |
| sam555_ | sebsebseb: it means "thank you" in Hawaiian | 01:53 |
| bernz | LogicFan, all i know is that Linux support for ACPI (power mgmt) has been a bit behind the times until recently, so there may be fixes forthcoming soon | 01:53 |
| Bagualas | why ubuntu isnt reproducing sound in all the speakers of my notebook? | 01:53 |
| wanna_learn_more | hi..i have a problem with my filesystem.almost all of my file become read only.i used ubuntu 8.10 | 01:54 |
| LogicFan | bernz, judging by my google searches, a lot of people have issues with it, alsa just doesn't wake back up | 01:54 |
| Stargazer | How do i check how much file space i have using the command line ? | 01:54 |
| tallyn | can anyone help me with my ATI video card? | 01:54 |
| georgy_28 | Stargazer, : df -h | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | 01:54 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:54 |
| JuzProdtionz | Hey, Im intalling ubuntu 4 the first. Im at the part "prepare disk space" I do that, then it I get prompted it will take a sec. Then I get ERROR resize operation failure | 01:54 |
| LogicFan | the thing that really irks me is that i have to restart all applications that use sound in order for them to properly work again after forcing a alsa restart | 01:54 |
| bernz | Bagualas, have you tested the speakers with another OS/distro to confirm there's no hardware problem? also, did you check that your balance is centered? many people left- or right-shift their balance inadvertently and forget about it | 01:54 |
| Appocc | hey... could anybod help me to replace dhcp client for dhcpcd as client??? | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | wanna_learn_more: you been messing with file permissions? | 01:55 |
| Appocc | my ubuntu cant get dhcp connections | 01:55 |
| bernz | LogicFan, i guess it's being worked on (hopefully), but check the bug list for ALSA to see if your issue is listed, and if not, make a report :-) | 01:55 |
| Stargazer | Ty georgy_28 | 01:55 |
| JuzProdtionz | After the prepare disk space fails it scans disk and brings me to Prepare Partions | 01:55 |
| XeKtRuM | hello | 01:55 |
| JuzProdtionz | I don't think I will ever get ubuntu to intsall dang | 01:55 |
| XeKtRuM | how do I activate the execution of /etc/rc.local ? | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: ok your resizing Windows partition? | 01:56 |
| Bagualas | bernz, yeah, tested... the notebook has sound in front, and under it | 01:56 |
| JuzProdtionz | Yes | 01:56 |
| wanna_learn_more | hi..i have a problem with my filesystem.almost all of my file become read only.i used ubuntu 8.10 | 01:56 |
| JuzProdtionz | sesebseb: Yes | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: do the file system check on the NTFS | 01:56 |
| bernz | JuzProdtionz, you should learn a bit about partitioning (it will be useful for the rest of your life, as long as we have these crappy PC-like computer systems and their DOS-based partitioning :-) | 01:56 |
| wanna_learn_more | sebsebseb:looks like because of filesystem error | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: in Windows I guess yeah damn what is it again hum | 01:56 |
| wanna_learn_more | sebsebseb:when i tried to reboot it always checking for file system | 01:57 |
| JuzProdtionz | I can partion pc but I heard linux could partion itself so i thought i would learn later | 01:57 |
| XeKtRuM | how do I activate the execution at start of /etc/rc.local ? | 01:57 |
| AnyaJ | how can you tell when you've gotten rid of all of a library off of your computer | 01:57 |
| AnyaJ | ? | 01:57 |
| wanna_learn_more | sebsebseb:after performing system maintenance,press CONTROL-D | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: your NTFS partition needs to be checked I think | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | !ntfs | 01:57 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | !chkdsk | 01:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about chkdsk | 01:58 |
| Tamnakz | Can anyone help me configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326? | 01:58 |
| AnyaJ | a library you installed yourself, that is | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | !permissions | wanna_learn_more | 01:58 |
| ubottu | wanna_learn_more: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 01:58 |
| JuzProdtionz | I there anything I can do under prepar partions it give me an option to build a New Partion Table | 01:58 |
| bernz | JuzProdtionz, are you aiming to obliterate the contents of the drive and replace with Linux? if so, you can just run the partitioner manually, delete the partitions, and restart the installation | 01:58 |
| mylisto | hey all | 01:58 |
| Tamnakz | Let me rephrase: I need to configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326 without internet access. I need to be able to download files onto another computer and transfer to the Acer with a jump drive | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: that would get rid of Windows basicalley | 01:58 |
| mylisto | anyone have problems getting a gigaware usb headset to work in intrepid? | 01:59 |
| JuzProdtionz | No I am trying to dual boot | 01:59 |
| mylisto | It works in skype but nothing else | 01:59 |
| QPrime | JuzProdtionz: boot into windows and run a cmd prompt. type "chkdsk c: /f" (no quotes) answer yes to the questions and reboot into windows again. it will check and repair. | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: well either the partition is bad or the hard disk, because you should be able to resize the NTFS | 01:59 |
| donkey | I need some help. When im on Myspace.com i cannot view all my pictures.... How do i fix the issue???? It is also on other web pages! | 01:59 |
| bernz | Bagualas, do you have another Linux distro you can try? maybe you can see how the two differ if the other works (ALSA, and other stuff) | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | QPrime: :) that's what I was saying to do that, but I didn't know the command | 01:59 |
| JuzProdtionz | Ok I am clicking on Guided resize and giving linux 80 gibs (which there is 160gb free) | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: do what QPrime said then come back | 01:59 |
| Bagualas | bernz, i think ill try another | 02:00 |
| Dusk_ | i installed icedtea and flash plugins in 64bit ubuntu but in youtube videos i see a grey screen..what should i do? | 02:00 |
| AnyaJ | alex-weej, you still around? | 02:00 |
| QPrime | sebsebseb: no prob ;) | 02:00 |
| alex-weej | hi | 02:00 |
| mylisto | just trying to figure out how to get my usb headset to work properly... | 02:00 |
| AnyaJ | i am supposedly having a runtime error in my code because i have versions of a library installed on my computer | 02:00 |
| wanna_learn_more | sebsebseb:isnt about permission.but its an error | 02:00 |
| JuzProdtionz | what does chkdsk do- does it take long? | 02:00 |
| AnyaJ | i did a make uninstall on one version, but i still get the same runtime error. | 02:00 |
| AnyaJ | how can i make sure one version is completely off my computer? | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | JuzProdtionz: it gets Windows to check it's partition for errors after re booting | 02:01 |
| Tamnakz | I need to configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326 without internet access. I need to be able to download files onto another computer and transfer to the Acer with a jump drive. Any help? | 02:01 |
| donkey | I need some help. When im on Myspace.com i cannot view all my pictures.... How do i fix the issue???? It is also on other web pages! | 02:01 |
| AnyaJ | i did a make uninstall alex-weej | 02:01 |
| JuzProdtionz | OK, I will do that | 02:01 |
| LogicFan | bernz, if sound stops working, do you know how to view alsa's status? | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: which browser? | 02:01 |
| JuzProdtionz | BRB | 02:01 |
| donkey | mozilla | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: try another browser? | 02:01 |
| QPrime | JuzProdtionz: it checks (and tries to repair) your ntfs filesystem. if can take a while but it depends on the size of the partition and the number fo files you have on that partition. | 02:01 |
| QPrime | *it | 02:01 |
| Dusk_ | i installed icedtea and flash plugins in 64bit ubuntu but in youtube videos i see a grey screen..what should i do? the screen is like that: http://omploader.org/vMWVlcA | 02:01 |
| donkey | what other one on ubuntu? | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: loads of good ones | 02:01 |
| bernz | LogicFan, are you in GNOME desktop? if so, do you have a sound icon in the tray at the top (usually)? | 02:01 |
| donkey | tell me a really good one | 02:02 |
| LogicFan | bernz, yes to both | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: sudo apt-get install galeon epiphany-browser | 02:02 |
| bernz | LogicFan, carefully double-click the icon itself, and you should get some options | 02:02 |
| marcusdavidus | anyone got "hangs" on ppm on linx in firefox ? its dont show menu or just do random action from ppm menu when try to open links | 02:02 |
| danielr2010 | anybody know a way to boost the volume on a laptop running ubuntu, when i had windows the default volume was allowed to be louder than it can be now. | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: Konqueror is alright, but that will put KDE stuff on as well | 02:02 |
| bernz | LogicFan, from that dialog, you can get to 'Preferences...' (button near bottom-right) | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: Mozilla Suite was before Firefox, but it lives on as Seamonkey, Seamonkey is quite nice | 02:03 |
| tallyn | so I installed the ATI driver once and had everything working, even compiz desktop effects | 02:03 |
| tallyn | and now nothing | 02:03 |
| tallyn | can anyone help me out? | 02:03 |
| bernz | use the 'Device' pick-list to find ALSA stuff, and maybe you can see status somehow | 02:03 |
| donkey | im doing that first one you said and see how it does | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: that was two browsers | 02:03 |
| marcusdavidus | so anyone get same issue with firefox ? | 02:03 |
| crdlb | tallyn: what GPU, and what version of ubuntu? | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | donkey: epiphany might not even add itself to the menu, but you can open apps from the terminal with their name and then pressing enter: epiphany-browser | 02:03 |
| LogicFan | bernz, yes, but it doesn't tell me the status of alsa itself. the sound icon app doesn't crash when alsa dies. however, it will crash when i force a restart on alsa to get sound back with the cmd /sbin/alsa force-reload | 02:03 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, hey -- i just installed epiphany today (via 'Add/Remove...' -- shame on me, right? ;-) .. anyway, i didn't get a shortcut on the menus -- any ideas? | 02:04 |
| dug_ | anyone's wireless stop working after the recent 2.6.27-14 kernel upgrade? | 02:04 |
| donkey | well ill find out shortly | 02:04 |
| LogicFan | so the sound icon is not really indicative of alsa's actual functionality status | 02:04 |
| LogicFan | i hope that makes sense :) | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: browse the hidden folders. the gnome stuff, it's there some where, and then you can add to menu yourself I Think | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | !menu | 02:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about menu | 02:04 |
| tallyn | crdlb: intrepid, and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT | 02:04 |
| lightbots | boot time kernel option: all_generic_ide, how do I implement this option? | 02:04 |
| bernz | LogicFan, well, you can see ALSA-related demons like so from a shell: "ps aux | grep alsa | less" | 02:04 |
| Tamnakz | I need to configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326 without internet access. I need to be able to download files onto another computer and transfer to the Acer with a jump drive | 02:04 |
| georgy_28 | !alacarte | 02:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alacarte | 02:04 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, ah yes, great idea! cheers | 02:05 |
| crdlb | tallyn: did you enable it in system > admin > hardware drivers ? | 02:05 |
| LjL | !fishing | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: well wine stuff is left in the menu, after wine is gone, but I know there is a folder for that stuff, because I been there | 02:05 |
| doleyb | Tamnakz: yes, that sounds like a good plan. I'd go to madwifi.org and get their tar.gz on your drive, then install it. | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: and why shame on you? Epiphany and Galeon are nice browsers. of course I would mainly use Firefox for browsing the web, because of browser market share reasons | 02:05 |
| lightbots | boot time kernel option: all_generic_ide, how do I implement this option? do I write in in the terminal somehow? | 02:05 |
| LogicFan | bernz, sorry, not really sure what i'm looking at with that command | 02:06 |

| bernz | Tamnakz, almost all OSes nowadays support USB MSC (mass storage class) devices like thumbdrives, so you're all set there, probably... you can transfer a package (e.g. something.deb) containing wifi drivers via USB stick, then install that, and maybe get it going... you will want to read about "madwifi" and "wpasupplicant" and "networkermanager" and a few other things, i think | 02:06 |
| tallyn | crdlb: yes, I enabled it there, but it fails now | 02:06 |
| crdlb | tallyn: what do you mean "fails"? you hit low graphics mode? | 02:06 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, for the shame, i meant because i did it via GUI, rather than command-line ;-) cuz i *can*... but i'm getting old and lazy :-D | 02:07 |
| georgy_28 | lightbots, : do you mean add the module at boot ? | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: did you miss my message about when I use synaptic :d | 02:07 |
| tallyn | crdlb: yes, I basically have very poor redraw rate when I am only moving windows around | 02:08 |
| lightbots | georgy: i suppose | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: if I don't know the programs name I will use synaptic, altough I know there is some command that could be used instead | 02:08 |
| tallyn | crdlb: and compiz effects are definitely de-activated | 02:08 |
| bernz | LogicFan, so, "ps aux" == "show all processes, i mean all, dammit", then the "pipe" ('|') sends the output to "grep alsa", which looks for lines containing "alsa", then the output of that is sent to "less", a "pager" (a program that lets you read output page by page) | 02:08 |
| crdlb | tallyn: put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old on a pastebin | 02:08 |
| georgy_28 | lightbots, : you can add it in /etc/modules | 02:08 |
| Tamnakz | doleyb: I cannot find the tar.gz | 02:08 |

| dug_ | anyone know how to change the wireless driver back to the proprietary one? my wireless stopped working the past day or two | 02:09 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, yeah, i'm sorry, i was just trying to be funny, but it wasn't really :-/ no worries anyway :-) | 02:09 |
| LogicFan | bernz, sorry, how do i interpret or scroll through the results? all i'm seeing is " 5528 0.0 0.0 7480 880 pts/0 S+ 19:08 0:00 grep alsa" | 02:09 |
| lightbots | georgy_28: thanks ill try that | 02:09 |
| bernz | LogicFan, ah, right, so... | 02:09 |
| bernz | LogicFan, well, that tells you ALSA is running (probably)... (was that not what you were trying to determine?) | 02:10 |
| dug_ | !wireless | 02:10 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:10 |
| bernz | LogicFan, those lines tell you the process name (rightmost), its ID (pid), how much memory it's using, etc | 02:10 |
| karstensrage | what permissions do you set on /var/run so that services can create their .pid files? | 02:11 |
| bernz | LogicFan, "man ps" for details about those lines | 02:11 |

| AnyaJ | yes i am | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | AnyaJ: ok guys just showing Anya something | 02:11 |
| LogicFan | bernz, ok, thats good to know. but i was hoping for something a little more like alsa's own errors. so perhaps i could see which part of alsa stops functioning when power management kicks in | 02:11 |

| wanna_learn_more | sebsebseb:but its an error | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: Ubuntu's unoffical version. in Windows Firefox works well | 02:12 |
| bernz | LogicFan, oh... ALSA almost surely keeps a log of its victories and failures... perhaps somewhere in '/etc' or '/var/log'? | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: Firefox likes to crash a lot here. that unoffical Ubuntu version. I still haven't been arsed to try and sort Firefox out more properly. by say using a officall Mozila version? | 02:12 |

| rmmRMM | ader10: yes it was | 02:14 |
| ader10 | rmmRMM: That response makes no sense >< | 02:14 |
| rmmRMM | ader10: iceweasel is a debian version of firefox, "cleaned" | 02:14 |
| bernz | donkey, i'm actually trying to install epiphany also | 02:14 |
| rmmRMM | would use different libraries | 02:14 |
| ader10 | rmmRMM: You don't understand. | 02:14 |
| ader10 | rmmRMM: I want to search through a thread | 02:14 |

| tom760 | any special key combinations that might get my desktop to come back? i just got a black screen trying to come out of standby on my laptop. | 02:16 |

| donkey | crdlb is says i have the program but when i go to the internet tab (in the programs) epiphany-browser is not listed | 02:17 |
| l337m4573r | is there anyone in here that considers themselves to have a good knowledge of networking in ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| crdlb | donkey: yes, that's a bug in the packaging | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: uh looks like I didn't even type the first bit. since I got distracted by something. | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: there was an article about trying the latest Chromeium in Linux | 02:17 |
| bernz | storbeck, wow, now that i understand what that means, it's easy ;-) | 02:17 |
| donkey | crdlb what should i do | 02:17 |
| storbeck | :) | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: not proper Chrome | 02:18 |
| crdlb | donkey: it's installed, but won't appear in the menus unless you restart gnome-panel (or your entire session) | 02:18 |
| donkey | how do i restart gnome panel? | 02:18 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, ah, okay, that's what i'd last heard, but that's running via wine or something weird, no? | 02:18 |

| donkey | crdlb how do i restart gnome panel? | 02:18 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, oh, good enough for me, then :-) | 02:18 |

| BlackAeronaut | Need some help with a display driver. Running Ubuntu 8.10 64 Bit on a Toshiba Satellite A355D - CPU: AMD Turion X2 Ultra 64. GPU: ATI Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3470 X2 Hybrid. I get nothing but Terminal whenever I boot, no mater how I boot (clean install, install from Wubi, Live CD). Startx does not work - it can find the drivers. I've tried installing drivers, but with X not working, it leaves me with very few options. I did manage to get one set | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: i'll see if I can get the link, but I guess this is only for experienced Linux people :) | 02:20 |
| jrib | wrektkjet: check your plugins | 02:20 |
| shippo | jrib and ubottu yes I did that but I wanted it to load at startup with out user interaction | 02:21 |
| shippo | I have samba installed | 02:21 |
| bernz | crdlb, sweeeeeeeet, that's the magic clue i was waiting for -- a restart of gnome-panel (or the WM, or reboot) is required to "update" the menus (i was wondering where my updated menus were, and hadn't yet rebooted) | 02:21 |
| BlackAeronaut | *it can't find the driver | 02:21 |
| jrib | shippo: yes, so you should read that page... | 02:21 |
| shippo | I can manually mount it fine | 02:21 |
| wrektkjet | jrib: plugins for pidgin u mean? | 02:21 |
| georgy_28 | BlackAeronaut, : try the vesa driver | 02:21 |

| wrektkjet | oh ok i see them | 02:21 |
| BlackAeronaut | georgy_28: How do I do that? | 02:21 |

| sebsebseb | linuxtoday.com is a good site, but there article archive system sucks | 02:26 |
| brianguertin | jrib: that is an excellent question, that probably explains it | 02:26 |
| Tamnakz | cdlb: download the backports modules, correct? | 02:26 |
| BlackAeronaut | georgy_28: That didn't do anything for me. I'm still in terminal. | 02:26 |

| BlackAeronaut | georgy_28: It'll take a minute. GOtta mount an external drive to transfer the file. | 02:28 |
| georgy_28 | BlackAeronaut, : ok | 02:28 |
| Tamnakz | cdlb: the link takes me to a backport modules intrepid generic | 02:28 |

| xacaa_ | hey | 02:41 |
| r00tintheb0x | correct bernz | 02:41 |
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, "r00tintheb0x, in there, you have a list of, say, "profiles" -- try creating a new one, with static (manual) IP info, and then making it the default, or deleting the other profiles (CAREFUL whenever deleting)" | 02:41 |
| xacaa_ | Xchat and Xchat gnome is one | 02:41 |
| r00tintheb0x | Then I set the IP etc... manually... save it... restart the network and it still has the dhcp given ip | 02:41 |
| bernz | do you only have the one profile? | 02:42 |
| r00tintheb0x | bernz, i have already "cp -arfvp /etc /etc.bak" | 02:42 |
| r00tintheb0x | :) | 02:42 |
| r00tintheb0x | Let me try that. | 02:42 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb.....ok i have virtual box downloaded....now what i do..do i need to get the iso file now??? | 02:42 |
| Trae | hey guys, I've installed xubuntu... but I didn't want to change the default boot logo... how can I get back the default Ubuntu boot / loading screen? | 02:42 |
| killindillin | sebsebseb.....ok i have virtual box downloaded....now what i do..do i need to get the iso file now??? | 02:43 |
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, okay; FWIW, it appears this app (network configurator thingy) is stable enough that if you understand your LAN setup, you can obliterate everything and rebuild it, with little effort :-) | 02:43 |
| bernz | Trae, i guess it's gotta be in a system prefs of some sort | 02:44 |
| bernz | Trae, have you Web searched for "change xubuntu boot logo" or something similar? someone must have blogged about it by now :-) | 02:44 |
| r00tintheb0x_ | Thanks bernz... I figured it out. | 02:44 |
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, right on :-) | 02:45 |
| r00tintheb0x_ | Im not used to all this snazzy GUI stuff. | 02:45 |
| killindillin | hey guys walk me through using setting up ubuntu and virtual box:-) | 02:45 |
| r00tintheb0x_ | I was about to edit /etc/network/interfaces bernz | 02:45 |
| bernz | oh yeah, sometimes the GUI gets in the way, but intrepid seems pretty solid finally :-) | 02:45 |
| r00tintheb0x_ | Yeah, i moved from Solaris bernz | 02:46 |
| === r00tintheb0x_ is now known as r00tintheb0x | ||
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, hehe, yeah, i hear that -- editing 'interfaces' -- no more of that, it's NetworkManager's job :-D | 02:46 |
| r00tintheb0x | Yeah, that kind of scares me bernz | 02:46 |
| r00tintheb0x | Im having a HECK of a time with my servers @ work and their NTP settings. | 02:46 |
| r00tintheb0x | I have like... 25 linux servers... and none of them want to sync to my DC. | 02:47 |
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, well, on the plus side, you can always disable NM and go at it manually like in the days of yore :-] | 02:47 |
| killindillin | hey guys walk me through using setting up ubuntu and virtual box please :-) | 02:47 |
| r00tintheb0x | NM works fine, I just didnt understand the whole profile thing. | 02:47 |
| r00tintheb0x | killindillin, what is virtualbox? | 02:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | And why do you need to be walked through setting up ubuntu. | 02:48 |
| killindillin | a virtual machine program | 02:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | Its like, installing windows. | 02:48 |
| gRunt | Can anyone tell me if there is a way to change the default mount point for my ipod? I have looked in the mtab and can't see anything glaringly obvious like with my ntfs partitions. Any idea? | 02:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | gRunt, paste me your /etc/fstab to http://www.pastebin.ca | 02:48 |
| killindillin | ok screw it tell me how to in stall it to a 4 gig flashdrive | 02:49 |
| gRunt | okay I just looked at it but I didn't recognise my ipod 2 secs | 02:49 |
| bernz | gRunt, you might be able to do it from the GUI, if you like to do so: in nautilus (default file explorer), right-click the volume when it's mounted (or on your desktop), and select its properties and dig around in there; you can assign an overriding default mount point | 02:49 |

| r00tintheb0x | killindillin, what do you mean man. The install for Ubuntu is point and click. | 02:49 |
| Gnea | r00tintheb0x: there's no need for that. | 02:49 |
| r00tintheb0x | Gnea, no need for what. A /etc/fstab paste? | 02:50 |
| shippo | ubottu that worked but it will only work with the IP address, the server name will not resolve in the fstab file at startup, any ideas? | 02:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:50 |
| bernz | gRunt, maybe you have to first determine what profile/class your iPod uses to connect -- it might be MTP, not MSC | 02:50 |
| bernz | (if it's MTP, it might not mount like a typical mass storage device, like a USB stick or portable HD) | 02:50 |
| killindillin | r00tinthebox:i'm a noob so help me | 02:50 |
| surg | helllo | 02:50 |
| killindillin | hey | 02:50 |
| gRunt | thanks bernz that might be just as easy and r00tintheb0x this is my current fstab (and my ipod is currently connected) http://www.pastebin.ca/1364876 | 02:51 |
| Gnea | killindillin: if you want help, please do not demand it | 02:51 |
| killindillin | k sorry | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: I am here | 02:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | checking gRunt, give me a second. | 02:51 |
| bernz | gRunt, how do you "get at" the files on your iPod when syncing? with a regular file explorer, like nautilus, or with a special app? | 02:51 |
| === LjL-Temp is now known as incognito | ||
| sebsebseb | killindillin: md5sum the ISO first | 02:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | killindillin, the quickest way to learn linux is trial and error. | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | !md5 | 02:52 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:52 |
| shippo | does anyone know if a servername like TEST will resolve in fstab versus having to use the IP address for TEST of 10.10.0.1? | 02:52 |
| scunizi | bernz: gtkpod | 02:52 |
| === incognito is now known as incognito` | ||
| sebsebseb | r00tintheb0x: yes and that is what he will start doing in Virtualbox | 02:52 |
| surg | whats up everyone | 02:52 |
| bernz | scunizi, that's "special", i guess -- does it use MTP? | 02:52 |
| Gnea | killindillin: if you check out that second URL that I had ubottu toss your way, you'll find instruction on how to get ubuntu to install to a usb drive | 02:52 |
| r00tintheb0x | Most people will not help you if the "problem" you're having has a thousand walkthroughs and resolutions. | 02:52 |
| scunizi | shippo: it will if "TEST" is in the /etc/hosts file | 02:52 |
| gRunt | bernz I have an ipod touch 2g and while there are hacks for a jailbroken ipod (which mine is) for the most part I can't get syncing to work, and sadly I haven't found an app I like that deals with podcasts and movies like itunes so im currently dual booting into a tinyXP install just for itunes. | 02:52 |
| gRunt | But I normally SSH into my box or do a tethered SSH in windows, linux has proven to be a pain. | 02:53 |
| === kalpik__ is now known as kalpik | ||
| Gnea | r00tintheb0x: it's actually better if the user has an idea of what the actual problem is in the first place | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: whatever to that guy, and let's get you setu | 02:53 |
| r00tintheb0x | gRunt, and you say that the IPod is connected and mounted now? | 02:53 |
| shippo | scunizi: that makes me think that it would be a manual entry in a different file, is that correct? | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | killindillin: pm if you don't want to chat here | 02:53 |
| r00tintheb0x | gRunt, pastebin me the output of "fdisk -l" and "mount". | 02:53 |
| scunizi | bernz: no.. wait.. I get mixed up on mtp vs the other.. I think mtp is the more difficult one that may be better supported in the next release, Jaunty | 02:53 |
| gRunt | yeah its connected there is an "apple ipod inc" icon on my desktop with a camera logo r00tintheb0x and will do that now | 02:53 |
| scunizi | shippo: manual entry in /etc/hosts | 02:53 |
| Gnea | r00tintheb0x: but, your attitude of "too many steps, so piss off" isn't a good one to have around here | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: agreed | 02:54 |
| r00tintheb0x | Gnea, im sorry. It looked to me like he was wanting instructions on how to install Ubuntu as a virtual machine. | 02:54 |
| abacan | would someone help me about how to separate debug info from executable? | 02:54 |
| r00tintheb0x | Sorry Gnea, you're right. | 02:54 |
| bernz | gRunt, okay, you might be able to run tinyXP *inside* a virtual machine in ubuntu, to improve things a bit... as for the syncing, if you can get the device to act as an MSC (mass storage class), basically, just exposing its hard drive contents, you could do a lot with it | 02:54 |
| r00tintheb0x | I'll try to be more... | 02:54 |
| r00tintheb0x | Accepting. :) | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | r00tintheb0x: yes he did, becasue I was helping him earlier with things | 02:54 |
| shippo | scunizi: I am looking for any automatic way to do that b/c my network gets reset a lot. | 02:54 |
| bernz | scunizi, yeah, MTP is more complicated, for sure | 02:54 |
| r00tintheb0x | Sorry guys. | 02:54 |
| r00tintheb0x | :) | 02:54 |
| Gnea | r00tintheb0x: well maybe he does | 02:54 |

| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: Thanks. | 02:55 |
| Gnea | killindillin: have you checked out the virtualbox setup details? | 02:55 |
| scunizi | shippo: then you're stuck.. there's no automagick way of doing it.. unless .. you're running a server and want to get at it right? | 02:55 |
| gRunt | yeah bernz i could but dual boot is handy incase I stuff up ubuntu lol and oh im pasting now sorry :) | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: he has pmed me | 02:55 |
| Gnea | sebsebseb: ah, ok cool | 02:55 |

| === CodeGuru is now known as solid_liquid | ||
| r00tintheb0x | gRunt, where is the IPod mounted now, /mnt/shared_ntfs ? | 02:57 |
| r00tintheb0x | BlackAeronaut, but you're seeing text, okay. | 02:58 |
| scunizi | gRunt: just remember most things you do to break the install can be fixed without reinstalling.. it aint windows baby! | 02:58 |
| r00tintheb0x | BlackAeronaut, type startx for me. | 02:58 |
| shippo | scunizi: I would imagine if I was running a server then I could have a DNS service running on it to resolve the name to the ip address? | 02:58 |
| r00tintheb0x | I know its not going to work, but I want to see the error it gives. | 02:58 |
| gRunt | nope thats my ntfs partition that I want to load on boot I just didnt want the icon on the desktop so I was suggested to not mount it in /media that is just a parition both my XP and ubuntu install can access. | 02:58 |
| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: OKay. I know how this goes, though. ;) | 02:58 |
| r00tintheb0x | BlackAeronaut, are you getting "Primary device is not PCI" ? | 02:58 |
| scunizi | shippo: or take the easy way out and use something like dydns | 02:58 |
| r00tintheb0x | gRunt, can you tell where your ipod is mounted as of right now? | 02:59 |
| shippo | scunizi: is there somewhere I can read up on dydns? | 02:59 |
| bernz | gRunt, heh, awesome, okay, here's your next trick: resize your HD into two halves, and clone your working copy onto the spare half, then make a bootable USB system-on-a-stick to restore the busted "main" partition by copying back the previous "good" one from the "spare" (only works if you've done "simple" partitioning with most "special" directories all on the same volume) | 02:59 |
| r00tintheb0x | !dydns | shippo | 02:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dydns | 02:59 |
| gRunt | r00tintheb0x, by default it is /media/ipod but I will check | 02:59 |
| scunizi | shippo: yep.. www.dydns.org | 02:59 |
| bernz | gRunt, then, go nuts! | 02:59 |
| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: I get: (EE) No devices detected. | 02:59 |
| r00tintheb0x | shippo, http://www.no-ip.com/ | 02:59 |
| shippo | scunizi: thanks for your assistance! | 02:59 |
| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: I meant what I said about X not being able to find the driver. ;) | 03:00 |
| r00tintheb0x | BlackAeronaut, do you see "Primary device is not PCI" right before that? | 03:00 |
| scunizi | shippo: np.. r00tintheb0x gave you another link as well.. never used that one.. but would be worth looking at. :) | 03:00 |
| r00tintheb0x | BlackAeronaut, relax... just answer my questions. I've got this. | 03:00 |
| r00tintheb0x | shippo, i use no-ip, its in the ubuntu repos | 03:00 |
| r00tintheb0x | I love it. | 03:00 |
| gRunt | r00tintheb0x, hah it doesn't appear there, which is odd it used to be /media/ipod. The only reason I want to mount it somewhere else is that stupid icon just makes me cry (im anal about having unwanted desktop icons gone) | 03:01 |
| gRunt | So not even sure if it is mounted tbh. | 03:01 |
| r00tintheb0x | gRunt, is the ipod plugged in? | 03:01 |
| r00tintheb0x | and turned on? | 03:01 |
| shippo | scunizi: I guess another way would be to assign static ip address to the xp windows machine, right? | 03:01 |
| scunizi | r00tintheb0x: shippo AH.. no-ip should probably be used in conjunction with dydns.org | 03:01 |
| bernz | (possible typo? www.dydns.org -> www.dyndns.org) | 03:01 |
| gRunt | r00tintheb0x, aye im charging it, and yes I was just playing pokemon emerald on it ;) | 03:01 |

| slerder | Hey guys. Is there anyway a usb flash drive, when inserted into a ubuntu 8.10 machine autorun malicious code and infect my ubuntu box? Thanks | 03:14 |
| r00tintheb0x | kk | 03:14 |
| r00tintheb0x | slerder, are you asking if its possible? If so, yes. | 03:15 |
| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: Driver "vesa" | 03:15 |
| r00tintheb0x | BlackAeronaut, okay... hold up. | 03:16 |
| r00tintheb0x | BlackAeronaut, are you able to paste to a paste bin errors now or no? | 03:16 |
| gRunt | wow just trying handbrake for the first time, much much faster encoding than super (C) for windows! life is good with ubuntu! | 03:16 |
| slerder | r00tintheb0x, how? Is there any way i can know if it happened? thanks | 03:17 |
| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: I can use pastebin, just not on the bad box. I have to manually type everything. | 03:17 |
| r00tintheb0x | Okay black, type startx on the bad box again. | 03:18 |
| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: Right, wait one... | 03:18 |

| mikejet | What is the superior openoffice / spreadsheet community? | 03:19 |
| Chaorain | Is there something simalar to wine but for mac software? | 03:19 |
| bernz | slerder, do some reading on the autorun feature in general (for any OS, like Windows, Linux, etc) -- i don't think Linux distros typically support unauthorized autorun, but i usually disable it in any system i use anyway, unless explicitly needed | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | Chaorain: don't think so | 03:19 |
| bman | mac wine = whiskey | 03:19 |

| mylisto | anyone know how to download flv's from a website... | 03:20 |
| bernz | slerder, in other words, it's unlikely you would have an auto-run executable that's linux-format compatible, although it's possible | 03:21 |
| efeX^ | Is there native support for RAR's? | 03:21 |
| BlackAeronaut | r00tintheb0x: Generally seems to b that the devices aren't connected. | 03:21 |

| Ficthe | hi. Putting a user in the list of sudoers is practically equivalent to giving them root, isn't it? | 03:27 |
| Ficthe | i.e., they have the power to do anything root can do? | 03:27 |
| bernz | Ficthe, probably, in principle, yes, but i think that's what a "chroot jail" is for (to "reign them in", so to speak, if they are "untrustable") | 03:28 |
| Dreamglider | how do i format a usb flash with CDFS filesystem ? | 03:29 |
| gRunt | Hrmm I might post there here too as it may be more ubuntu specific than handbrake....sooo | 03:29 |
| Ficthe | bernz, alright.. but without this "chroo jail" -- a sudoer has to powers that root has, that's basically what I wanted to know, thanks | 03:29 |
| Ficthe | chroot* the* | 03:29 |
| gRunt | I just installed handbrake for ubuntu 8.10 I was converting my first file and threw my laptop on my bed, anyway apparently the quilt blocked the exhaust fan and half way through the encode my computer restarted, now when I open handbrake if I hit start the program just seems to close, doesn't do anything. Any way I can fix this? | 03:29 |
| bernz | Dreamglider, i think you probably need to "rip" the CDFS as an ISO or similar format, then copy that file to the USB flash ... not sure if it's possible to transfer the CDFS directly, as it's a weird format, unlike most PC disk formsts | 03:30 |
| gRunt | is there some kind of repair feature or something? I installed it via a .deb file in from their site so I dont know :s | 03:30 |
| pepperjack | Dreamglider: maybe just dd it? | 03:31 |
| bernz | Ficthe, there may be other "limitations", so it's best to read the manual for 'sudo' (e.g. 'man sudo') at the least, and maybe read a bit more about it if your job or serious hobby will involve much Linux system administration :-) | 03:31 |
| Dreamglider | pepperjack: can dd make a cdfs partition ? | 03:31 |
| pepperjack | well you would make the partition first | 03:32 |
| Ficthe | bernz, lol, you see.. I'm not quite the admin, my teacher is. He put my account in the list of sudoers today, so I was just wondering. :) | 03:32 |
| pepperjack | Dreamglider: im really not sure i know nothing of cdfs so take anything i say with a grain of salt | 03:32 |

| wrektkjet | what is that last symbol | 03:47 |
| napzter | hi guys... | 03:47 |
| unop | frank_austin, well, pay attention to what the dependencies are and whether or not they are to be removed to.. if it has no dependencies, it should be relatively safe. | 03:47 |
| unop | frank_austin, an alternative is to download and install the package manually. | 03:48 |

| bernz | unop, note, frank_austin has used a "one" character, not a lower-case "ell" character, as the 2nd-last in the name, and i'm used to seeing "ell dee", not "one dee" after "*.so." -- could this be a factor? | 03:51 |

| Chowder | How do I add a public key? | 03:51 |
| mn | How do I run an executable file? | 03:51 |
| bernz | Ficthe, yes, i don't guess you would be, since you asked your question before going all crazy with your newfound superpowers ;-) | 03:51 |
| Chowder | mn, chmod +x file | 03:51 |
| mn | not windows executable but executable for linux | 03:51 |
| Chowder | then... | 03:51 |
| Chowder | ./file | 03:51 |
| frank_austin | unop: shouldn't that be an 8.10file (how did you get the file name so quick btw?) | 03:52 |
| unop | bernz, it's a "1d" alright .. | 03:52 |
| pepperjack | mn: you basically set the executable bit as Chowder said. if you then ls -l in terminal youll see on the very left the file is now marked with 'x' | 03:52 |
| bernz | unop, okay | 03:52 |
| unop | frank_austin, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 03:52 |
| unop | frank_austin, and for this package. http://tinyurl.com/dbgkuw | 03:53 |
| frank_austin | unop: cool, thanks. trying it now... | 03:54 |
| wrektkjet | -l hoq do you type that? | 03:54 |
| mn | pepperjack then how do I execute it though. Neither clicking nor passing its name in a terminal seem to work | 03:54 |
| Chowder | mn: cd to the directory that its located in | 03:54 |
| mn | did | 03:54 |
| Chowder | then ./file | 03:54 |
| bernz | napzter, on a laptop/notebook? touchpad? maybe you are inadvertently pressing on the touchpad when clicking? | 03:55 |
| mn | ah the ./ is what I was forgetting ty Chowder. I haven't been on linux for a while | 03:55 |
| Chowder | :) | 03:55 |
| napzter | bernz: no.... when I click i dont touch the pad just click button then cursor moves | 03:55 |
| wrektkjet | :( is my kb missing that symbol that looks like an integral symbol | 03:56 |
| bernz | napzter, but are you resting part of your hand on the surface that "contains" the touchpad? try lifting your hand up and touching down on the left-lick/right-click button only with a fingertip | 03:56 |
| Chowder | So I'm trying to add some lines to /etc/apt/sources.list. When I run apt-get update I get the following message:W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220. How do I add the key? | 03:57 |
| bernz | napzter, static electricity can also make touchpads behave weirdly -- make sure you are properly grounded before touching your notebook | 03:57 |
| napzter | bernz no.... im not resting my hand.... I'm using dual boot and in windows I dont have such problem | 03:58 |
| basti | how can i execute a command in x minutes? i am looking for something like: unknowntool -t[30min] 'command i want wo execute in 30min' | 03:59 |
| doleyb | basti: use "at" on command line | 03:59 |
| bernz | napzter, in that case, it might be some weird settings in your X configuration (usually /etc/X11/xorg.conf) -- try examining the file to see if it makes reference to 'touchpad' drivers with settings you can research/edit -- BACKUP your original file before editing, and use 'sudo' for changes | 03:59 |
| XtrHotMarSpy | basti cron | 03:59 |
| basti | cron is to "heavy" for this | 03:59 |
| napzter | can i install the xorg.conf? | 04:00 |
| bernz | basti, hah! i was just going to say that cron might be too "heavy" for your purposes.. but a shell script that wields cron to do that simple "t-minus" style job addition sounds like the solution | 04:00 |
| wanna_learn_more | do i have a problem if i make 2.6.28-8 to my intrepid? | 04:00 |
| basti | thx doleyb. just the thing i searched for | 04:00 |
| napzter | I remember I deleted it and have a back up of it | 04:00 |
| napzter | and use it again | 04:00 |
| napzter | can i install the xorg.conf again? Bernz | 04:00 |
| bernz | basti, erm, or what doleyb said :-] | 04:01 |
| napzter | bernz can i install the xorg.conf again? | 04:01 |
| bernz | napzter, well, basically, you copy the xorg.conf to, say, xorg.conf.old, then make a change to xorg.conf, then restart your X server (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE) or manually start/stop | 04:01 |
| doleyb | bernz: well back in the 1992, for some reason, we'd do scheduling with "at" instead of cron, so our scripts had to be sure to "re-at" themselves before terminating so they run tommorrow. | 04:02 |
| bernz | napzter, if you need to "restore", you go to a text console (CTRL-ALT-F1), and log in, and then copy 'xorg.conf.old' over top of 'xorg.conf', restoring your original config | 04:02 |
| bernz | (then restart the X server) | 04:02 |
| o0Chris0o | is it as easy to downgrade as upgrade ubuntu | 04:02 |

| unop | napzter, mv not mov | 04:03 |

| Cpudan80 | oh yeah | 04:03 |
| Cpudan80 | no o | 04:03 |
| maodun | I have a stream of text formatted thus: '2 aardvark 15 apple 6 cat' (a different word on every even line (and some data on every odd line)). i also have a dictionary where every word in the stream is on a new line: 'a aardvark ant apple cat cool'. i want to map the words on every even line to their line number in the dictionary and keep the data words from the odd lines intact. | 04:03 |
| maodun | thus => '2 2 15 4 6 5'. i'd like to do it all with filters and unix text tools. i realize i can do the lookup with 'grep -n', but i'm not sure what tool i should be using to run grep for every odd line in the stream. awk? any ideas how to do this? | 04:03 |
| napzter | okay starting terminal as root | 04:03 |
| bernz | napzter, almost, i'd use 'sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old' (from the directory, '/etc/X11') | 04:03 |
| chrisrio | Hey is there an equivalent to df for RAM? | 04:03 |
| bernz | napzter, (because to write to that dir, you need super) | 04:03 |
| frank_austin | bernz: almost success - gnome settings daemon is still broken etc. but at least I can stop using this old laptop now :) | 04:04 |
| napzter | wow super root? ctrl + alt + f1 | 04:04 |
| mattgyver83 | o0Chris0o, its not easy to downgrade. Your better off backing up and then formatting the partition and installing the v. you want. | 04:04 |
| chrisrio | other than free | 04:04 |
| pepperjack | chrisrio: free top also shows info on mem usage | 04:04 |
| bernz | chrisrio, i think there's a magic directory for that, branching from '/proc' maybe | 04:04 |
| o0Chris0o | mattgyver83: ok thanks | 04:04 |
| maodun | sorry, by filters i mean pipes | 04:04 |
| bernz | frank_austin, well, yeah, partial success is still a small victory :-) | 04:04 |
| pepperjack | chrisrio: just run conky :) | 04:04 |
| bernz | frank_austin, it's nice to have the "feed" again, eh? :-D | 04:05 |
| Cpudan80 | napzter: CTRL+ALT+F1 just gives you a raw terminal | 04:05 |
| Cpudan80 | it works more or less the same as a terminal window from within gnome | 04:05 |
| IdentifyTarget | My computer won't wake up from hibernation under ubuntu. I have to pull the plug and reboot | 04:05 |
| bernz | napzter, from CTRL-ALT-F1, you need to log in as root if you want root (not advised), or log in as your "normal" user, then 'sudo' stuff you need super for | 04:05 |
| chrisrio | thanks guys :P | 04:06 |
| unop | maodun, awk could do it, perl even easier perhaps | 04:06 |
| Cpudan80 | bernz: you cant really login as root | 04:06 |
| Cpudan80 | unless you do some hack | 04:06 |

| zoobox | I am trying to code a litte bash-shellscript here and it gives some confusing errors.. perhaps there is invisible chars in that destroys it. (I did start the writing of it on a windows98-computer) | 04:07 |
| wanna_learn_more | cpudan80:u know how to upgrade my intepid to kernel 2.6.28.x? | 04:08 |
| ThinkMinus | Also, if I list the files in /etc/init.d, there is surely a command with name "oracle-xe"... | 04:08 |
| CentHOGG | ThinkMinus: have you gone to that folder and looked for oracle-xe | 04:08 |
| bernz | napzter, but remember, ALWAYS back up your file before changing it, for important config files | 04:08 |
| zoobox | doleyb: ok I look at mtools first then | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | zoobox: dos2unix | 04:08 |
| maodun | ok, thanks bernz | 04:08 |
| CentHOGG | ThinkMinus: go to the folder and try ./oracle-xe and then see if anything happens | 04:08 |
| Cpudan80 | zoobox: its in the default ubuntu install, it'll fix the endlines for you | 04:08 |
| bernz | zoobox, you can try "dos2unix" or "unix2dos" packages, which are conversion utils that might "fix" bad line endings (the most common Windows <-> Linux text problem) | 04:09 |
| CentHOGG | ThinkMinus: if so then do the whole command | 04:09 |
| Cpudan80 | It is advised that you back up the original though ;-) | 04:09 |
| bernz | maodun, you'll have to "learn" AWK, but it's worth the time invested :-) | 04:09 |
| ThinkMinus | CentHOGG: If I try ./oracle-xe in that folder, I get "command not found".... | 04:09 |
| pepperjack | zoobox: be a real man and use sed :) | 04:09 |
| bohemian_ | i recently configured my internet to use opendns and used ddclient to update ip, but it has no effect up to know? | 04:09 |

| TariQ | i have a problem logging in with another user getting error (could not update ICEauthurity) anyone can help?? | 04:10 |
| Cpudan80 | napzter: if you delete it - Ubuntu will do its best to remake it | 04:10 |
| doleyb | zoobox: actually the "tofrodos" package looks better. | 04:10 |
| napzter | but guys can I just download the xorg.conf? what do u think? i think i just deleted xorg.conf.backup.... | 04:10 |
| zoobox | aha thanks Cpudan80 | 04:10 |
| CentHOGG | CentHOGG: ok then see is oracle-xe is executable... or just chmod 0440 oracle-xe | 04:10 |
| Cpudan80 | TariQ: delete the .ICEAuthority files from the users home dir | 04:10 |
| pepperjack | TariQ: try sudo chown -R username:username /home/username | 04:10 |
| bernz | napzter, you can always get the ubuntu live's copy, put it on a USB stick, or directly on the local hard drive, and then login via a text console and restore the file (move it to '/etc/X11') | 04:11 |
| napzter | hmmmmmmmm Cpudan80 is it automatically be created? without me installing | 04:11 |
| Cpudan80 | napzter: yes, but it is often generated wrong | 04:11 |
| zoobox | pepperjack: hehe.. I'm not that good a sed... yet :-) | 04:11 |
| CentHOGG | gotta bail brb | 04:11 |
| bernz | napzter, oh man, what Cpudan80 said -- i gotta start looking up before hitting ENTER, and save some log space on ubuntu servers :-] | 04:11 |

| ThinkMinus | CentHOGG: I tried chmod 0440 oracle-xe, but I still get command not found | 04:12 |
| Chowder | So I'm trying to add some lines to /etc/apt/sources.list. When I run apt-get update I get the following message:W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220. How do I add the key? | 04:12 |
| zoobox | oh.. it was dos2unix package name :-) | 04:12 |
| Cpudan80 | napzter: you dont need a live CD - just start an XSession and it'll make the xorg.conf file .. | 04:12 |
| Cpudan80 | It'll make the same one the live CD would | 04:13 |
| Cpudan80 | more or less | 04:13 |
| unop | maodun, maybe this? http://pastebin.com/d7177cdd4 | 04:13 |
| bohemian_ | i recently configured my internet to use opendns and used ddclient to update ip, but it has no effect up to noe, what am i missing? | 04:13 |
| napzter | Cpudan80: how can i start? XSession? what should i type in terminal? | 04:13 |
| Cpudan80 | are you at the ctrl+alt+F1 terminal ? | 04:13 |
| bernz | napzter, yeah, that could work, because if the live runs fine, then its xorg.conf is going to work on your hardware, probably, so if you "grab it" (copy it onto some other storage, as live things usually run out of a RAM disk), then you can overwrite your busted xorg.conf with the one you yoinked from the live run. | 04:13 |
| Cpudan80 | hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to an xterm | 04:13 |
| Cpudan80 | might be F8 or F6, sorta depends on your situation | 04:14 |
| napzter | okay | 04:14 |
| bernz | napzter, best do what Cpudan80 says; my suggestion is fairly involved, and more for "desperate measure" | 04:14 |
| napzter | Cpudan80: so if I start CTRL ALT F1.... it should be creating a new XORG.CONF | 04:14 |
| napzter | bernz: AHhhhh I SEEE | 04:15 |
| ThinkMinus | I think that CentHOOG was right!...I have only -r--r----- permissions on oracle-xe....How can I make it executable? | 04:15 |
| ThinkMinus | chmod is not working.... | 04:15 |
| napzter | bernz: What does XORG.CONF stands for? | 04:15 |
| bernz | napzter, nah, imagine your PC is running 7 different screens; each one assigned to CTRL-ALT-Fn (n==1..7) -- you can switch among the screens | 04:15 |
| bernz | they are called "terminals" ("terms") | 04:15 |
| ThinkMinus | I tried "chmod 0440 oracle-xe" | 04:15 |
| branescan | i loaded up 8.10 today and updated the nvidia drivers and now cannot get gnome to start up... i have two geforce 6600gts...im wondering if the sli setup has something do with it... | 04:15 |
| branescan | any ideas? | 04:15 |
| pepperjack | ThinkMinus: does it say root owns it? youll need to sudo chmod then | 04:15 |
| lstarnes | napzter: xorg.conf is the configutation file used for the x display server | 04:15 |
| bernz | napzter, typically, the 7th term (CTRL-ALT-F7) is the 'xterm' (where X (X11, X Windows, xorg, etc) runs) | 04:16 |
| lstarnes | napzter: its usual location is /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:16 |
| ThinkMinus | pepperjack: I tried sudo too, but the problem is same | 04:16 |
| bernz | napzter, (X is the thing that looks like Windows) | 04:16 |
| napzter | wow thanksness ! hahahahahha long live DEFCON.... | 04:16 |
| Ish | what irc program would run in the other screens? | 04:16 |
| fonecode | thinkminus: u try fsck> ? | 04:16 |
| ThinkMinus | fonecode: nope | 04:17 |
| basti | is (g)parted able so resize ext3 partitions? | 04:17 |
| napzter | ok | 04:17 |
| pepperjack | ThinkMinus: just sudo chmod +x filename are you sure its a script? if you `head filename` does it show the shebang in at the top line? shebang is #!/bin/sh or whatever | 04:17 |
| bernz | napzter, xorg.conf stands for "X ORGanization [the guys who mostly drive its development] CONFiguration" | 04:17 |
| Ish | is there a place where boot errors would be logged? | 04:17 |
| pepperjack | napzter: xorg is the cludge we all love to hate | 04:18 |
| bernz | napzter, the "primary config file" for X has changed over the years, i think; it depends on your flavor of X, but for ubuntu, it's as lstarnes wrote | 04:18 |
| lstarnes | bernz: Xorg is also the name of their implementation of X11 | 04:18 |

| maodun | unop: thanks! you pretty much nailed it, except i'm looking for the output to be 'foo 1 baz 4'. i don't parse perl very well - i understand most of what you wrote, but what does this part do: "print if $|--' input"? | 04:19 |
| bernz | Ish, probably /var/log/messages | 04:19 |
| ThinkMinus | CentHOGG: Well, it's working now! I just had to "chmod +x oracle-xe"..... :) | 04:19 |

| unop | maodun, $| is a special perl variable (used to unbuffer filehandles when set to true) but it has a special property .. when decremented ($|--) it alternates between a TRUE and FALSE state (and nothing else). so print if $|-- would print the line each time $| was set to TRUE - resulting in even lines printed | 04:22 |
| Icebuntu | CentHOGG: ^^ its tell ya how to install and other things CentHOGG ice wm is also nice you might like it as well even flux box is nice | 04:23 |

| Icebuntu | CentHOGG: if you need help with regards ice wm I know a few people who can help you out with it | 04:24 |
| lstarnes | Guest74910: install the xubuntu-desktop package | 04:24 |
| bernz | xytrus, if you are unable to boot, then easiest way is a bootable live distro or similar "rescue disk", from which you can edit menu.lst and correct stuff, or re-init grub, etc | 04:24 |

| Guest74910 | lstarnes, what would that do? | 04:24 |
| lstarnes | Rolle: /quit | 04:24 |
| lstarnes | Guest74910: that would install all the components of xubuntu | 04:25 |
| basti | Rolle, or use screen | 04:25 |
| scunizi | lstarnes: but he wants to go from xubntu to ubunt | 04:25 |
| xytrus | bernz: thanks a lot! | 04:25 |
| lstarnes | scunizi: oh | 04:25 |
| Rolle | lstarnes: thanks basti: I don't think i can use screen | 04:25 |
| Ish | bernz, naw, that didn't have it. It's a problem that's been happening every reboot, it says something about "Had to boot into a shell" | 04:25 |
| basti | Rolle, why not? | 04:25 |
| lstarnes | Guest74910: use ubuntu-desktop instead of xubuntu-desktop. That will install ubuntu's default packages oevr xubuntu's | 04:26 |
| Guest74910 | lstarnes: what I meant was switching from xubuntu to ubuntu. xubuntu is missing a lot of what I liked about ubuntu and I want to switch back | 04:26 |
| Rolle | basti: because i'm not in gnome? | 04:26 |
| Guest74910 | lstarnes: alright, thanks | 04:26 |
| Ish | what does xubuntu not have? | 04:26 |
| unop | Guest74910, you can have both XFCE and Gnome installed on the same machine. | 04:26 |
| basti | Rolle, so what | 04:26 |
| kiwidrew | basti: thanks! | 04:26 |
| bernz | Ish, hmm, sorry, haven't heard of that :-/ | 04:26 |
| scunizi | Guest74910: like I said. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and on the login screen "change sessions".. | 04:26 |
| Rolle | basti: so i don't know what you mean by use screen | 04:26 |
| Ish | bernz, how would i screencap something like that? since i don't know where it's being logged (if at all) cameraphone work? | 04:27 |
| basti | Rolle, screen -S irrsi will create a "screen terminal" called irssi | 04:27 |
| CentHOGG | yeah sudo aptitude install lxde | 04:27 |
| CentHOGG | thx all | 04:27 |
| basti | Rolle, there you start irssi and leave it with ctrl+a+d and go back in it with screen -r irssi | 04:27 |
| basti | Rolle, so you dont have to quit it everytime | 04:28 |
| scunizi | basti: or screen -RR | 04:28 |
| basti | or that | 04:28 |
| hanasaki | how do I change the theme in GDM? | 04:28 |

| bernz | Ish, hard to say; i've tried camphones before, but the quality is usually too low to make out text clearly... can you tell what the failure involves, in terms of hardware or software? | 04:28 |
| Rolle | so go back to termina.. do screen -S irrsi then i can reconnect here? | 04:28 |
| scunizi | Guest74910: yes | 04:29 |
| Rolle | and to switch cont a d | 04:29 |
| Ish | bernz, apci? maybe? | 04:29 |
| maxagaz | what does 155 means in the line "eth1:155 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:c9:ff:5e:e8" given by ifconfig ? | 04:29 |

How do I add the key? | 04:30 |
| unop | sparky_, is all equipment on your home network gigabit capable? including switches, etc in between PCs | 04:30 |
| maodun | unop: thank you very much for explaining. i understand how it works now. but i don't think the second solution works - i want the cutting. the problem is, the data on the odd lines isn't necessarily in the dictionary. the problem seems to be that i want to pipe to 2 different functions (one pass through and one lookup) based on the line number. well, the first solution should be good enough, i think i'll just do 2 passes and then splice | 04:30 |
| Ish | bernz acpi looks closer | 04:30 |
| unop | Chowder, take that key and google it | 04:30 |
| sparky_ | unop, yes everything is gigabit and i'm 100% positive everything is running at that | 04:31 |
| bernz | Ish, maybe in that case, try resetting and going into your BIOS settings, and disabling all power management-related stuff, and reboot | 04:31 |
| Chowder | unop, I googled how to add the key. I got the gpg file but still nothing | 04:31 |
| Ish | bernz, kk, will try that in a bit | 04:31 |
| hey560 | does ubuntu 8.10 add ~/bin to the path variable automatically in bash? | 04:31 |

| Chowder | unop: googling doesn't really help | 04:32 |
| bernz | Chowder, you might have had to do some operations as root, and if/when you don't, sometimes you get weird errors, or no errors (but the operation has failed) | 04:32 |
| basti | Chowder, http://gentoo-blog.de/?p=501 | 04:32 |
| doleyb | hey560: read /etc/skel/.bashrc and see | 04:32 |
| unop | hey560, yes, if it exists and ~/.bashrc is sourced (when starting an interactive shell). | 04:33 |
| bernz | Ish, in the meantime, maybe do a bit of reading on ACPI to learn of its typical quirks and whether or not you are experiencing those sorts of problems (suggesting that it's a likely cause) | 04:33 |
| hey560 | unop: doesn't seem like it has it. for some reason i have ~/bin in my path | 04:33 |
| hey560 | i never added it to my .bashrc | 04:33 |
| hey560 | though | 04:33 |
| hey560 | i can't figure out where its coming from | 04:33 |

| r00tintheb0x | When there arent drivers for hardware I buy... I dont know why I have to hack other drivers to make them work with Linux instead of using NDISWrapper. | 04:34 |
| mikebot | Is there some new version of flash that neither ubuntu nor firefox in ubuntu know about? | 04:34 |
| mikebot | And if so, ow might I acquire it? | 04:34 |
| bernz | hey560, there are 10 million start-up script files chained together and .bashrc is one of the last to be run, i think, but if you're not in a hurry, you could grep your entire hard drive for that string ("~bin") | 04:34 |
| zoobox | unop, thanks. I whould never have guessed it | 04:34 |
| doleyb | mikebot: Well, you can download flash 10 linux-beta from the developers. | 04:35 |
| unop | hey560, check /etc/bash.bashrc | 04:35 |
| lstarnes | zoobox: you could also try true | 04:35 |
| zoobox | ok | 04:35 |
| unop | hey560, or perhaps ~/.profile and /etc/profile too | 04:35 |
| Gnea | zoobox: echo "nothing"; | 04:35 |
| mikebot | doleyb: WHere is that? (And thank you.) | 04:35 |
| hey560 | bernz: i just freshly installed ubuntu and i was surprised by this, as no other previous release did this | 04:35 |
| unop | Gnea, that still does something :) | 04:35 |
| Gnea | unop: oh, right, I'm sorry, debugging wasn't requested ;) | 04:36 |
| hey560 | unop: its in .profiles: PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" | 04:36 |
| bernz | hey560, i'm a first-time ubuntu user. unop has presented some great time-saving suggestions, be sure to try those first :-) | 04:36 |
| Keal_ | lstarnes, how do i enable the 'soundcard capture' switch? | 04:36 |
| mikebot | doleyb: Ah, I found it at get.adobe.com... thank you though. | 04:36 |
| lstarnes | Keal_: I have no idea | 04:36 |
| hey560 | that was not a smart thing to include by default imho. i have a ~/bin directory with stuff scripts that have the same names as key unix commands | 04:37 |
| bernz | hey560, cool, you found it, i'll try to remember that :-) | 04:37 |
| hey560 | i think i'm going to file a bug report on this | 04:37 |
| bernz | hey560, hmm... maybe naming your scripts something that overlaps with existing standard unix names is the problem ;-) | 04:37 |
| unop | hey560, it used to be the case that ~/.bashrc had a line like. if [ -d ~/bin ]; then PATH="~/bin:$PATH"; fi # but i guess that is no longer the case. | 04:37 |
| doleyb | mikebot: Ok, I got it from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html. To install it, I recommend you just drop it in ~/.mozilla/plugins, rather than system-wide | 04:37 |
| mikebot | doleyb: Oh, OK, thank you. | 04:38 |
| hey560 | bernz: i specifically name them after unix commands cuz i add the ~/bin to my path for special purposes when needed | 04:38 |
| mikebot | doleyb: *very much! | 04:38 |
| unop | hey560, you could just append ~/bin to the PATH - rather than have it prepended like it is now .. that way system commands take precedence | 04:38 |
| unop | hey560, PATH="$PATH:~/bin" | 04:38 |
| hey560 | i understand how to work around it. i just think its not a good thing for the OS to prepend it to the PATH variable by default. | 04:39 |

| devilsadvocate | hi, im having trouble getting my ethernet to connect... it worked for a very short time and then refuses to acknowledge the fact that a cable is connected. im using a few days old dell inspiron 1525 with the Marvell 88E80XX 10/100 . any way to check if the hw itself is fine (dont have windows... and installing it is not so easy for certain reasons) | 04:39 |
| bernz | hey560, fair enough, though i'm not certain it's a "bug" exactly, unless most people use your technique (it sounds specific to a certain scenario/need) | 04:39 |
| hey560 | i guess we disagree on this | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: oh your new to Ubuntu | 04:39 |
| mikebot | doleyb: Do I need the 64-bit one? | 04:39 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, yes indeed, not so much to unix, but to Linux and specific distros | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: oh you didn't seem like one | 04:40 |
| nb72 | This may be an odd question to ask on this channel, but does anybody know a good RSS reader that runs on windows? I'll be introducing some of my family to RSS feeds as a way to follow my blog, but I don't know any good windows reader (and I don't consider firefox live bookmarks a good solution). | 04:40 |
| devilsadvocate | nb72, google reader ftw :P | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | nb72: that would be offtopic here, but not in #windows | 04:40 |
| hey560 | i can finally play 1080p h.264 movies in ubuntu (with 8.10). don't know why i waited to upgrade from 8.04 so long. (i have a intel 945gm video card). | 04:40 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, well, i tried slackware in the mid-90s, but then got sucked into windows by uni+full_time_work, and now i finally converted my home network to all-Linux (huzzah!) | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: yeah damn MS in the 90's and that really does inpact today | 04:41 |
| MrAlexandro | hey560 ubuntu 8,10 is better you say? | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: so many people using Windows, that would be fine on another OS, with a bit of help from someone | 04:41 |
| nb72 | sebsebseb: Thanks, didn't even think that there was a windows channel. :) | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | MrAlexandro: 8.04 and 8.10 are not that differnet | 04:42 |
| MrAlexandro | ok | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | nb72: the Ubuntu bot used to have a joke about the WIndows channel and a mental asylum :) | 04:42 |
| bernz | hey560, whoah, 1080p on a 945GM? there's hope for my laptop yet! :-) | 04:42 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, don't worry, i think there's never been a better time for Linux to take over; Ubuntu is insanely popular among people who would otherwise have a fit trying to use Linux, and that will help its adoption | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | bernz: well yeah, but most people that use computers are extremally computer ignorant, and so they aren't Ubuntu material as such, unless someone helps them out properly, like I would | 04:44 |
| wrektkjet | like me! | 04:45 |
| wire | I'm finding Ubuntu as easy to use as Windows XP unless I feel the need to poke around under the hood, so to speak | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | wrektkjet: are you? | 04:45 |
| wrektkjet | yea pretty disbaled | 04:45 |
| scunizi | wire: easier to poke here then ... there | 04:45 |
| sparky_ | unop, I don't know if you seen this earlier but yes everything is 100% gigabit | 04:45 |
| bernz | sebsebseb, well, that's putting it bluntly, to be sure... i got my mom to start using windows for basic stuff (photo import, editing, basic HTML) a few years ago; i want to switch her to Linux, but i think she's about 1 or 2 Ubuntu releases away from being ready | 04:45 |
| hanasaki | is there a daemon that will work like ntpd only jsut as a client to keep a box's time correct? ie not a time server | 04:45 |

| ericbatista | hi | 04:45 |
| D3ebaby | hey | 04:46 |
| MrAlexandro | i think so to. i have converted many people to linux users. using the simple interferance in ubnutu. which even i can understand | 04:46 |
| unop | sparky_, and what speed and duplex is the link reported as? | 04:46 |
| MrAlexandro | :D | 04:46 |
| ericbatista | i have a problem with my video integrate card | 04:46 |
| wire | wrektkjet: what's the issue? or have you already tried to solve it in this channel? | 04:46 |
| bernz | wire, i'm actually having a fair number of problems, but i'm more willing to "dig into" them than i'd be if i had the same problems on windows | 04:46 |
| scunizi | wrektkjet: use synatpic package manager | 04:46 |
| hey560 | bernz: what graphics card does your laptop have? | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | wrektkjet: ok Azureus needs Java, you need to install Java in that case. Azureus I used to use it, but ktorrent is so much better now | 04:46 |
| nb72 | hmm... windows channel seems a bit dead and unhelpful (insert joke here...) . devilsadvocate: I'll take a look at google reader. I'd prefer something that was an actual client. Thanks for the help guys. | 04:46 |
| J_A_X | so I got an intel 915 mobile integrated chip in my laptop, and Driver 'i810' doesn't seem to work at all... any suggestions? | 04:46 |
| melik | how do i mount ftp servers to my computer? | 04:46 |
| bernz | hey560, it's a Intel 945GM i believe | 04:46 |
| sparky_ | unop, on ubuntu or my switch? | 04:46 |
| wire | bernz: I feel the opposite, I wouldn't know where to begin here, I feel like a beginning user just clicking buttons | 04:47 |
| wrektkjet | install java via the add/remove programs? | 04:47 |
| * wire thinks about a beginning linux course | 04:47 | |
| gzus | if you google "install java on ubuntu" | 04:47 |
| unop | sparky_, well, both. | 04:47 |
| gzus | they have the apt-get command | 04:47 |
| gzus | really easy | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | wire: heh | 04:47 |
| ericbatista | hello i need help please | 04:48 |
| wire | there are two options in add/remove programs for Java ... are they basically the same? | 04:48 |
| scunizi | wire www.ubuntupocketguide.com ... buy in on paper or download a free pdf | 04:48 |
| wire | scunizi: thanks for the pointer! | 04:48 |
| sparky_ | unop, my switch is reading 1Gps, and how do I find that in ubuntu? ifconfig? | 04:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | alright, for the 1st time. | 04:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | this is really peeving me off. | 04:48 |

| bernz | wire, if you are willing to try it, the command-line (a "terminal window" in the desktop) will let you explore the file-system as one would have back in the day, when all this was invented (and made sense)... it'll start to make sense. learn how to change directories ("cd dirname") and explore "/etc" as well as your home directory (look for hidden dirs with "ls -al"); most apps store user-specific settings in the home dir in these "hidden" folders that star | 04:49 |

| ysis | Hi. I have a problem with the graphics driver for my Nvidia card. I managed to install the driver via envyng and changed the resolution successfully, but now the borders of the windows are missing and if I want to start the gnome terminal I only get a white rectangle... | 04:51 |
| ericbatista | thnx 4 help me | 04:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | devilsadvocate, i need some help with a driver. | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | r00tintheb0x: I can remote connect people and what not, but hardly anyone will want to pay | 04:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | But don't feel like going through the basics. | 04:51 |
| sparky_ | unop, any particular expressions? | 04:52 |
| gzus | ysis: do you have compiz or beryl installed? | 04:52 |
| pepperjack | ysis: is it a legacy card? what chipset? | 04:52 |
| r00tintheb0x | I need to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about. | 04:52 |
| unop | sparky_, not sure i follow. what do you mean? | 04:52 |
| jimisrvrox | anybody here good with ndiswrapper? | 04:52 |
| sparky_ | unop, like -a or -g, etc. | 04:52 |
| MenZa | !anyone | jimisrvrox | 04:52 |
| ubottu | jimisrvrox: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 04:52 |
| gzus | why are you using ndiswrapper? | 04:52 |
| sparky_ | i have never ran ethtool | 04:53 |
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, good q; i'm also in the "it's probably going to be a good job opportunity in the future -- if the exhaustion of cheap petroleum doesn't cease to fuel our insanely rich society -- so i might as well get good at it" camp" | 04:53 |
| unop | sparky_, ahh no. the default should do. | 04:53 |
| * crink guess flash | 04:53 | |
| jimisrvrox | well I picked up one of those bcm 4318 nic's after the lovely wusb54gv2 just did not work | 04:53 |
| ysis | gzus, pepperjack: It's a GeForce2 MX200, so pretty old. How do I found out about the beryl or compiz thingy? I just installed Intrepid from the normal install cd. | 04:53 |
| r00tintheb0x | bernz, learn oracle administration | 04:53 |
| gzus | uninstall you've nvidia driver first to see if that's the problem | 04:54 |
| jimisrvrox | so now ive got the issue of usb sitting in modprobe and couldnt tell you how to get it out tried to blacklist ssb and then do -m and when I did ndiswrapper -l | 04:54 |
| gzus | did you install legacy? | 04:54 |
| bernz | ysis, you should be able to figure out which driver your 'xorg.conf' should be using, and then you can check that from the command line by examining the file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) to verify that it's using the correct driver | 04:54 |
| gzus | legacy driver* | 04:54 |
| sparky_ | unop, when i type in "ethtool" it says bad command line argument, but when i run ethtool -h it pops up all the expresses | 04:54 |
| gzus | from memory i don't recall do you need "pico" in ubuntu terminal to edit files? | 04:55 |
| === Brucee is now known as Bruceee | ||
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, hmm... i'm not TOO into databases... although you're right, it's probably a good area | 04:55 |
| jimisrvrox | I got the nic showing up as wlan1 so I tried ifconfig wlan0 up and it tells me siocsifflags: no such file | 04:55 |
| r00tintheb0x | gzus, no you dont. | 04:55 |
| r00tintheb0x | gzus, you can use vi, vim, pico, nano, sed. | 04:55 |
| unop | sparky_, sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i -e Speed: -e Duplex: | 04:56 |
| devilsadvocate | gzus, use nano | 04:56 |
| gzus | ah, i'm currently on slackware, i haven't used ubuntu in a while, i wasn't too sure | 04:56 |
| adful123 | how come when i do dpkg -l, the apps that i've removed are still listed? | 04:56 |
| crink | jimisrvrox: udev or kernel driver problem, i guess | 04:56 |
| r00tintheb0x | bernz, if you can learn the in and outs of Oracle DB and AS... and learn Linux like the back of your hand. | 04:56 |
| ericbatista_ | hi | 04:56 |
| ysis | gzus: It is the drivers fault somehow, because before I installed it it was working fine. Envyng tells me I installed 96.43.09-0ubuntu1.1, whatever that means | 04:56 |
| adful123 | anyone? :-) | 04:56 |
| unop | adful123, what are the flags against the removed packages? rc ? | 04:56 |
| r00tintheb0x | You can clear $100,000.00/yr | 04:57 |
| adful123 | yeah | 04:57 |
| wire | I think that's why I'm switching my major to Information Systems ... | 04:57 |
| bernz | r00tintheb0x, not too shabby :-) | 04:57 |
| unop | adful123, that means the configuration files are still remaining. you have to purge those packages to get rid of them completely. | 04:57 |
| gzus | ysis, what card are you running again? | 04:57 |
| bernz | "...but it's not about the money." :-D | 04:57 |
| ericbatista_ | hi i need help with my video integrate card please | 04:57 |
| jimisrvrox | crink well I couldnt rmmod ssb so I was pissed about that and idk where to go in the modprobe file to get rid of the -m usb install | 04:57 |
| ysis | gzus, GeForce2 MX 200 | 04:58 |
| adful123 | sudo apt-get purge? | 04:58 |
| r00tintheb0x | wire, and bernz, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:58 |
| bernz | ericbatista, we hear you, but you must describe your problem in as much detail as possible before you can expect a response | 04:58 |
| sparky_ | unop, i'm starting to see part of my problem already. speed: 10mbs duplex: Half. I probally don't have the right driver for my network card. I have a Netgear GA311. | 04:58 |
| ysis | With allmighty 32 MB memory. ^^ | 04:58 |
| gzus | I'm sorry, i ment, what version of ubuntu are you running, you said interp, right? | 04:58 |
| sparky_ | unop, how should i go about getting the right driver? | 04:58 |
| ysis | gzus, yap it's 8.10 aka Intrepid | 04:59 |
| wire | sorry r00t, just stopped in here after installing xchat | 04:59 |
| unop | adful123, yea that does. sudo aptitude purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}') # careful tho... | 04:59 |
| Appocc | i cant browse anything even connected on wireles... so i created a route (sudo route add gw 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 wlan0) so i got it working... but when i restarted the notebook, i wasnt able to navigate again.. and now, even repeating the process i cant navigate yet.. can aybody help me? | 04:59 |
| gzus | i didn't like interp, too many problems, I stuck with Hardy. if i were you i'd downgrade to hardy and use the EnvyNG and be done with it | 04:59 |
| ericbatista | bernz, i have a problem to install a integrate video card | 04:59 |
| gzus | there are alot of problems using vmware on interp as well | 04:59 |
| adful123 | woops, better yet i'll just leave those config files.. i bet they won't hurt :-) | 05:00 |
| ericbatista | i have a p4m800 m7 a | 05:00 |
| adful123 | thanks | 05:00 |
| Ish | bernz, http://i42.tinypic.com/20aq4jt.jpg | 05:00 |
| ericbatista | i found a how too and i try to do it | 05:00 |
| unop | sparky_, it might be the case of autonegotiation .. see what modes your interface supports (take the grep out) | 05:00 |
| ericbatista | but i have a many problems | 05:00 |
| adful123 | to fully remove packages do i do remove first or purge? :-? | 05:00 |
| bernz | ericbatista, AFAIK, the latest ubuntu supports the openchrome drivers out of the box... no? | 05:00 |
| wrektkjet | whoa i just realized the system onl;y recognizes 3 gig of memory | 05:00 |
| wrektkjet | not 4 | 05:00 |
| gzus | yep | 05:00 |
| gzus | sucks right? | 05:00 |
| unop | adful123, 'purge' will do the removal too . in one go. | 05:00 |
| gzus | sabayon will recognize it though | 05:01 |
| adful123 | ahh, thanks man :-) | 05:01 |
| ysis | gzus: I don't see the point in downgrading. The driver should be fine (it's newer, right). I suspect GNOME, Beryl, Compiz or whatever to not interact with the driver correctly. | 05:01 |
| gzus | ysis, Well like I said I had a lot of problems for some reason installing everything with interp. You're right though, Compiz and Beryl will cause problems, but from what you've said you don't have either installed, correct? | 05:02 |
| sparky_ | unop, Settings for eth0: | 05:02 |

| sparky_ | 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full | 05:02 |
| bernz | Ish, oh yeah, so it's suggesting that you disable the ACPI with a kernel option: 'pci=noacpi'... you can read a little about how to specify kernel options | 05:02 |
| FloodBot2 | sparky_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:02 |

| aprilhare | will xlink kai work with ubuntu x64? | 05:02 |
| crink | /s//with/ | 05:02 |
| bernz | Ish, [repost due to flood] oh yeah, so it's suggesting that you disable the ACPI with a kernel option: 'pci=noacpi'... you can read a little about how to specify kernel options | 05:02 |
| ericbatista | bernz, can´t i see the link of the support you say it? | 05:03 |
| ysis | I'm running Intrepid on my laptop and it work's fine. | 05:03 |
| jimisrvrox | crink not what I was wanting to hear! | 05:03 |
| ericbatista | bernz, can i see the link of the support you say it? | 05:03 |
| ericbatista | sorry | 05:03 |
| x-ip | hi, someone knows when would be gnome 2.26 ? | 05:03 |
| jimisrvrox | I guess I could use a backup kernel | 05:03 |
| crink | hehe | 05:03 |
| wrektkjet | how come ubuntu on;y recognizes 3 gig out of 4 of RAm | 05:03 |
| doleyb | wrektkjet: Do you have a laptop with integrated graphics? | 05:03 |
| crink | it is not hard at all... | 05:03 |
| wrektkjet | desktop | 05:03 |
| bernz | ericbatista, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome | 05:03 |
| x-ip | wrektkjet: ur bios recognize the 4 ram ? | 05:04 |
| jimisrvrox | ahh ok so youre thinking its bad kernel driver? | 05:04 |
| jimisrvrox | because I ndis'ed the win driver | 05:04 |
| wrektkjet | ph i better check | 05:04 |
| bernz | Ish, you might need to adjust your bootloader (GRUB?) to give you a chance to specify kernel options | 05:04 |
| ysis | bernz: How do I figure out the driver setting in the xorg.conf? | 05:04 |
| jimisrvrox | what happeend is I had a usb wireless and evedentally the -m config for the usb driver is still listed so it wont take the -m for the pci | 05:04 |
| x-ip | ysis: editing /etc/xorg/xorg.conf | 05:04 |
| Ish | bernz, i do use grub, would i add the pci=noacpi? | 05:04 |
| wrektkjet | could be it doesnt. i have to look at teh bios. im still on my first few hours with this computer | 05:04 |
| bernz | ysis, you open it in an editor and kinda just browse around looking for interesting stuff | 05:04 |
| gzus | ysis, go to your synaptics package manager and search for both, then you can tell if they're installed or not | 05:04 |
| crink | jimisrvrox: i have very few experience with wireless network driver. | 05:04 |
| jimisrvrox | oh | 05:05 |
| jimisrvrox | damn | 05:05 |
| unop | wrektkjet, that's a limitation of the 32bit desktop kernel .. you'll have to use a different kernel to use all 4Gigs | 05:05 |
| gzus | remember to edit files though you have to be in nautilus | 05:05 |
| bernz | ysis, in my case, i have a line 'Driver "fglrx"' | 05:05 |
| x-ip | unop: 32 bit kernels supports 4 gb ram :| | 05:05 |
| bernz | ysis, ...because i'm using the 'fglrx' ATI driver | 05:05 |
| x-ip | and much more too | 05:05 |
| wrektkjet | truthfully im not greedy aboutr RAM i just wanted to check that it wasnt a problem of some sort | 05:05 |
| sparky_ | unop, do you want me to repast useing pastebin? | 05:06 |
| gzus | nah, it's not a problem, just a bummer | 05:06 |
| ericbatista | bernz, let me see if i have problem i cant ask u? | 05:06 |
| unop | x-ip, sure they do .. but the ubuntu one doesn't .. it's by design. | 05:06 |
| unop | sparky_, sure | 05:06 |
| ysis | bernz, it reads "Driver "nvidia" | 05:06 |
| bernz | Ish, get GRUB to "wait" for you (showing a menu or something), then you can add boot options (a single key command) | 05:06 |
| pepperjack | wrektkjet: ive had to underclock the ram before for all of it to show up on some MBs | 05:06 |
| Ish | bernz, wait? it waits for a short bit already | 05:07 |
| bernz | ericbatista, well, i have a VIA EPIA CN 10000 on which i will be installing Linux, and it has openchrome chipset, but i haven't tried it yet, so i have no good experience/knowledge; but the forum/helpsite from my link should explain things well | 05:07 |
| ysis | gzus, bernz: Synaptic tells me that compiz is installed (1:0.7.8-0buntu4.1) | 05:07 |
| sparky_ | unop, do i click on download text then copy from web page? | 05:07 |
| ysis | I guess Beryl is compiz-fusion, which is not installed. | 05:07 |
| gartral | i have a runaway VLC and it is ignoreing sudo killall vlc... | 05:08 |
| unop | sparky_, select the text you want copying .. in the pastebin textfield, do a middle click | 05:08 |
| gartral | i need a way to murder the task | 05:08 |
| gladiator | hi.. how do i find out hard disk space usage on my file system? | 05:08 |
| jordan | is it possible to use nautilus instead of thunar? | 05:08 |
| x-ip | unop: well, but if the limit is 4gb of ram, it should get the 4 gb | 05:08 |
| bernz | ysis, so that seems good... as for the actual settings (resolution, etc), that's more complicated... have you tried removing the driver as was suggested? it will revert you to the most "friendly" default (VESA, i think), and then you could try a re-install? someone also posted about "legacy" vs something-else | 05:08 |
| === jordan is now known as Guest8276 | ||
| x-ip | <= 4 is the restriction ( i didnt know it ) | 05:08 |
| wrektkjet | (what irc client are y'all using in ubuntu) | 05:08 |
| jimisrvrox | I use chatzilla :D | 05:09 |
| unop | x-ip, http://tinyurl.com/cocqvh | 05:09 |
| ysis | bernz: I already removed the driver via envyng. It looked fine then, but when I reinstalled I had the same problems. | 05:09 |
| === elpargo|away is now known as elpargo | ||
| xavierg2003 | Anyone know a good website to find snes games i just downloaded an emulator | 05:09 |
| doleyb | wrektkjet: konversation :/ | 05:09 |
| gartral | i have a runaway VLC and it is ignoreing sudo killall vlc... i need a way to truly force quit it | 05:09 |
| farlig | gartral, what does it say when you try killall? | 05:09 |
| bernz | ysis, i believe compiz is just a package that can take advantage of "fancy" drivers for "fancy" video cards, but removing compiz alone won't remove the "fancy" drivers (e.g. the NVidia or ATI ones) | 05:09 |
| Guest8276 | is it possible to use nautilus instead of thunar? | 05:09 |
| jackmurphy | im trying to configure lirc - when i ran apt-get install lirc - it launched a configuration tool - is there a way i can run it again | 05:09 |
| doleyb | xavierg2003: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/03/pirates_of_somalia.html | 05:09 |
| bernz | ysis, are there different options for installing the driver via envyng? | 05:09 |
| sparky_ | unop, i don't have a middle click i'm on a mac | 05:10 |
| x-ip | wow unop :| | 05:10 |
| gartral | farlig: acts like it kills the task, but the vlc doesnt even zombie... | 05:10 |
| bernz | ysis, i have an ATI card, so i don't know how the NVidia side of envyng works | 05:10 |
| xavierg2003 | when i click it it doesnt open.... | 05:10 |
| gartral | ysis: whats your problem? | 05:10 |
| ysis | bernz: Yes, I can install a driver with a lower version number, but the recommendation is the one I installed. | 05:10 |
| xavierg2003 | Thankyou | 05:10 |
| doleyb | xavierg2003: You don't need to open it, just reading is enough of a hint. | 05:10 |
| unop | sparky_, bahh.. sudo aptitude install pastebinit && sudo ethtool eth0 | pastebinit # that returns a URL | 05:11 |
| napzter | hi guys what folder i can find the wine? | 05:11 |
| ysis | gartral: My window borders are missing and things like the gnome terminal are just a white rectangle after installing the nvidia drivers. | 05:11 |
| unop | sparky_, your terminal might have a way of copying text - i believe gnome-terminal does | 05:11 |
| xavierg2003 | that had nothing to do with what i asked..... | 05:11 |
| ysis | So e.g. when I start synaptic from the menu I get just a white rectangle instead of the gksu(?) password window | 05:12 |
| pepperjack | napzter: .wine under that folder is a drive_c | 05:12 |
| unop | sparky_, i'm not sure if you can do both a left-click and right-click at the same time with a mac's mouse -- that translates as a middle click too | 05:12 |
| farlig | gartral, what does your system administration show? | 05:12 |
| ysis | But it is there, because when I type in my password blindly and hit enter Synaptic starts fine (just without border). | 05:12 |
| napzter | where is my root folder | 05:12 |
| bernz | ysis, if you install the "Compiz Fusion" taskbar widget, you can switch easily between Compiz (fancy) and the regular ("boring") WMs | 05:12 |
| sparky_ | unop, i'm running sever via ssh and do not have any gui install | 05:12 |
| wrektkjet | chatzilla it is | 05:12 |
| bernz | ysis, then you can see if you have the same graphic problems in "plain" mode | 05:12 |
| gartral | ysis: i have a legacy nvidia card, the drivers are not compatible with the ubuntu kernal past 96.43.09 | 05:12 |
| unop | sparky_, that shouldn't matter - it's the terminal you use on the client end that you copy the text off :) | 05:13 |
| pepperjack | napzter: how do you mean? | 05:13 |
| gartral | farlig system shows %100 CPU and RAM usage.... system load is 1.00 | 05:13 |
| ysis | gartral: I have a GeForce2 MX 200, I guess this is "legacy"? So what should I do, install the old driver with envyng? | 05:13 |
| unop | sparky_, anyway, use the pastebinit method. | 05:13 |
| pepperjack | ysis: i had no end of trouble with legacy drivers and current Xorg.. | 05:14 |
| BeerMonkey | anyone got / know where to get good drivers for ati graphics cards? | 05:14 |
| farlig | gartral, does your system moniter list vlc as active? | 05:14 |
| pepperjack | BeerMonkey: just use the radeon open source driver | 05:14 |
| ysis | pepperjack: I really don't understand the problem with this. Shouldn't the old cards be the one best supported? | 05:14 |
| BeerMonkey | there abit poo! lol | 05:14 |
| gartral | ysis yes that is a lagacy card, i have the MX 400 with mentioned drivers, and i play SL and UT3 at decent framrates | 05:14 |
| dft | anyone install the plus kernel for reiserfs support then try to revert back to base? | 05:15 |
| dft | ack nm wrong channel | 05:15 |
| ysis | gartral: What's SL? I'm removing the new driver and installing the older one right now. | 05:15 |
| pepperjack | ysis: yes they absolutely should. nvidia though has a history of stopping support for older cards that is one reason i moved to ati now that they are going opensource | 05:15 |
| gartral | farlig: it did,,, but i just watched it die and everything is normal, it just took a hiously long time to die off (i waited 15 minutes before joining) | 05:15 |
| gartral | ysis: SecondLife... a "cutsy" mmo "sandbox" game | 05:16 |
| sparky_ | unop, sorry to add to my problem but now it won't fetch anything from the ubuntu servers | 05:16 |
| pepperjack | BeerMonkey: google ubuntu restricted and the first link should help ya out | 05:16 |
| sparky_ | but i'm still connected via ssh | 05:16 |
| ysis | gartral: Sounds like even less real life for computer nerds. ;-) | 05:16 |
| BeerMonkey | ok cheers pepperjack | 05:16 |
| gartral | ysis: other than the fact you can actually make money with SL, and chat with my GF while im away, i think it in itself is insipid, but a usfull tool | 05:18 |
| napzter | guys how can i view hidden folder in terminal | 05:18 |
| unop | sparky_, ohh lord. can you ping anything out on the internet? | 05:18 |
| unop | napzter, ls -a | 05:18 |
| farlig | gartral, did you try xkill? | 05:18 |
| bernz | unop, well, if he's able to IRC, he's not totally dead in the water :-) | 05:18 |
| bernz | napzter, there's an option in nautilus (the file explorer) | 05:19 |
| ysis | gartral: I have no time for gaming since I started using Linux... | 05:19 |
| unop | bernz, he's SSHed into another host that's having the problem. | 05:19 |
| gladiator | can anyone tell me how i can find out the disk usage of my file system? i installed ubuntu on a partition and the other partitions are mounted automatically in /media... i just want the usage of my ubuntu partition | 05:19 |
| gartral | farlig: i had closed the window it was running, and it died, but the task itself didnt | 05:19 |
| unop | gladiator, df -h | 05:19 |
| bernz | unop, oooh | 05:19 |
| gartral | ysis: it's not exactly a game, its self descriptive... | 05:19 |
| sparky_ | unop, sorry, nothing, i tried www.google.com and it's ip | 05:20 |
| ultratek | anyone know what to do about: Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED | 05:20 |
| unop | sparky_, checked default gateway? DNS servers? can you ping either? | 05:20 |
| jackmurphy | anyone configured lirc? | 05:20 |
| Brando753 | hey is there anywhere i can get tutorials on ubuntu networking so i can figure it out :P | 05:20 |
| jackmurphy | i cant seem to relaunch the configuration tool | 05:20 |
| pepperjack | gladiator: kdirstat is a pretty good tool | 05:20 |
| pepperjack | gladiator: not sure of the gtk equivalent | 05:21 |
| unop | ultratek, usually means the service on the remote machine isn't taking connections - usually because the service isn't running, port isn't open or is firewalled, etc. | 05:21 |
| gladiator | unop: got it .. thanks.. whats tmpfs, varrun, varlock etc | 05:21 |
| sparky_ | unop, it looks like i get only to the default gateway | 05:21 |
| gartral | unop: you forgot about "it didnt receive a proper request" ;) | 05:22 |
| ultratek | ty unop | 05:22 |
| Brando753 | ? | 05:22 |
| unop | gladiator, temporary filesystems mounted in RAM | 05:22 |
| jackmurphy | i have lirc installed - but when i run irw - and click the remote - i get no feedback | 05:22 |
| unop | sparky_, but is the default gateway setup? pinging it doesn't mean its setup alright? | 05:22 |
| BeerMonkey | Brando753: what version of ubuntu you using? | 05:23 |
| Brando753 | 8.10 | 05:23 |
| pepperjack | jackmurphy: sorry i dont have a great deal of exp with lirc yet but id try /join #mythtv-users i know alot of guys in there running ubuntu with remote | 05:23 |
| gladiator | unop: ok thanks | 05:23 |
| sparky_ | unop, if your talking about the interfaces files yes it has my gateway in it | 05:23 |
| gartral | farlig: i looked through my logs, i had pulled a dvd from a drive i *thought* was idle, VLC was trying to read it still, it was completly user-error | 05:24 |
| BeerMonkey | Brando753: have you tried looking in the forums on www.ubuntu.com? | 05:24 |
| unop | gartral, NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED would be a horrible message for that exception, it would be apt for it be called NT_STATUS_IMPROPER_REQUEST :) | 05:24 |
| nurie | hhhhhhhhhhh | 05:24 |
| gartral | unop: heh | 05:24 |
| unop | sparky_, no, check the output of route -n .. things can change since the interfaces file is read and interfaces setup .. | 05:24 |
| jackmurphy | i'm trying in there | 05:25 |
| === eric is now known as Etherael | ||
| jackmurphy | but real quick - i found some docs saying - sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source should launch the config application, is there a equivilent of this for apt-get ???: | 05:25 |
| pepperjack | jackmurphy: no the dpkg command is what you want | 05:26 |
| jackmurphy | pepperjack: even if its installed via apt-get already? | 05:26 |
| sparky_ | unop it has destination as 192.168.1.0 which is not my gateway and under gateway it has 0.0.0.0 | 05:26 |
| farlig | gartral, that's strange. what version of vlc is it? | 05:26 |
| pepperjack | jackmurphy: yep apt-get installs the deb packages | 05:26 |
| frybye | Hi - I installed an appl from a deb package in Intrepid. The icon to start the appl works fine when I go direct to it in orig. location at /usr/bin - but when I dragged it onto the desktop it no longer works - what have I done wrong..(I want to start this appl by cllicking the icon on the desktop-) | 05:26 |
| svensko | today i was using a macbook pro at best buy and it had the hardy heron background... which one of you was it? | 05:26 |
| gartral | farlig: dont worry about it, i compiled my own with some extras... i know what line caused the crash ;) | 05:27 |
| jackmurphy | pepperjack: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source returns Package `lirc-modules-source' is not installed and no info is available. | 05:27 |
| unop | sparky_, so you do have an entry in there like. 0.0.0.0 $GATEWAY_ADDRESS 0.0.0.0 ... ? | 05:27 |
| pepperjack | jackmurphy: dpkg -l | grep -i lirc | 05:27 |
| frybye | short version of my ?: what do I need to do to start an installed appl from the desktop? | 05:28 |
| pepperjack | jackmurphy: dpkg -l lists installed packages | 05:28 |
| jackmurphy | o hrmm | 05:28 |
| farlig | gartral, aight.. | 05:28 |
| jackmurphy | seems i just needed to do it on lirc | 05:28 |
| sparky_ | unop, correct, but when i installed it i did put it in there and even updated some packages. ok now what? | 05:28 |
| pepperjack | frybye: im not familiar with gnome but I believe you need to right-click and make a launcher or whatever the gnome equiv language is | 05:29 |

| frybye | pepperjack: I will have a look and try and figure it out.. thanks.. | 05:31 |
| sparky_ | unop, correct i do have them running thur the same gigabit switch so that is probbally the reason i can ssh in to it | 05:32 |
| unop | sparky_, when you installed ethtool? it was able to get it off the repositories (on the internet) right? | 05:32 |
| sparky_ | unop, no it was already installed, i guess by default, i never did install it myself | 05:33 |
| frybye | pepperjack: it seems to have been set to open with wine? - and wants me to tell it what appl. to open with .. I just want the installed app itself to open.. eh...? | 05:33 |

| Akkernight | zezu, is that for me? And do you mean terminal? | 05:43 |
| pepperjack | caffeinegum: if you plug/unplug it and do a dmesg | tail do you see the partition? | 05:44 |
| ZeZu | Akkernight: it is directed at you, probably should have used your nick | 05:44 |
| ZeZu | Akkernight: an example would be ifconfig eth0 10.10.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up | 05:44 |

| syph | check your alsamixer | 05:51 |
| syph | headphones may be turned down | 05:51 |
| === Kow is now known as LordKow | ||
| rogermudd | syph: They're plugged in and the volume is up. | 05:51 |
| syph | you checked the alsamixer in terminal? | 05:52 |
| syph | or just volume control? | 05:52 |
| syph | sneaky bastards hide sometimes | 05:52 |
| rogermudd | syph: Just in volume control. Trying alsamixer right now. Having a hard time switching cards. Tab only switches between options for the default card/source. | 05:53 |
| caffeinegum | pepperjack, no, still not mounting, same message when I dmesg |tail | 05:53 |
| syph | hmm.. | 05:54 |
| syph | roger: you saying you have more than one sound card or am i just a retard? | 05:54 |
| doleyb | syph: He has two sound hardware devices, one PCI or motherboard and one USB. | 05:55 |
| gRunt | Okay im getting super annoyed with handbrake every time I try and convert an ogm to an mp4 it closes handbrake, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't log files don't appear to show anything abnormal, I installed it from the debian file on their site and am running ubuntu 8.1 any ideas? | 05:55 |
| syph | awkward | 05:55 |
| rogermudd | syph: Yes. What doleyb said. Onboard sound and a USB headset. | 05:55 |
| ZeZu | Akkernight: the up means the connection should be active i believe | 05:55 |
| gartral | how do i remove ksysgaurd... from a gnome session | 05:57 |
| syph | roger: what kind of head set is it? | 05:57 |
| rogermudd | syph: Logitech notebook. | 05:57 |
| cipherZen | gRunt: you try running it from a bash shell and see if there's any output when it crashes? | 05:57 |
| syph | lsusb in console | 05:58 |
| rogermudd | syph: Fold-up style. Has an analog connector that is currently working when plugged into the speaker (Klipsch 2.1). | 05:58 |
| === jackmurphy is now known as paragonc | ||
| syph | you get anything out of that roger? | 05:58 |
| rogermudd | syph: Logitech, Inc. Premium Stereo USB Headset 350 | 05:58 |
| caffeinegum | rogermudd, I use a usb sound card and sometimes swith to my onboard sound to make use of my laptop speakers, I just simply use the pulseaudio colume control to move switch back and forth | 05:58 |
| gRunt | cipherZen, im still super new to ubuntu I don't know how to run a lot of stuff from terminal what would the command be? also as I said sometimes it works i just opened it again and its now converting though chances are when it goes to the next in queue it will crash. | 05:58 |
| syph | word, so it's detected | 05:59 |
| LordKow | rogermudd, (off topic) good 2.1 sound system . i have music blaring out of it right now. :-) | 05:59 |
| rogermudd | syph: Yes. It's working, but I'd prefer the USB connection. | 05:59 |
| gartral | ksysgaurd was eating my proc alive, i just reniced it too 5... is this safe? | 05:59 |
| rogermudd | LordKow: It is good. Had for about seven years. Still sounds great. | 05:59 |
| syph | well yeah, i was just making sure your computer was recognizing it. Have you rebooted since you've tried to fix this problem? | 06:00 |
| LordKow | gartral, do you use kde? | 06:00 |
| gartral | LordKow: nope, this is a Convert... | 06:00 |
| rogermudd | syph: No. I haven't actually change anything. Just plugged the headset into an analog connection rather than a USB connection. | 06:00 |
| LordKow | gartral, do you even need it then? | 06:00 |
| syph | plug it into a usb slot, then reboot | 06:01 |
| syph | lsusb | 06:01 |
| syph | see if it's recognized | 06:01 |
| * gartral has a jack headset that skype only outputs to one ear on... | 06:01 | |
| rwparris2 | I have a laptop here that wouldn't boot windows, something about pagefile.sys not being found. I have a the ubuntu 8.04 live cd in it to try and get my databack, but it gives me squashfs errors. any help? | 06:01 |
| syph | it should work.. i don't know why it wouldn't, mine does | 06:01 |
| LordKow | rwparris2, did you try verifying the cd integrity? i've had that happen with bad burns. | 06:02 |
| gartral | LordKow: nope... but the system complains it doesnt want it gone... | 06:02 |
| syph | rwparris: why don't you boot with a windows disc for recovery options? | 06:02 |
| LordKow | gartral, what else does it want to remove? if you dont use kde anymore then you likely have a lot of leftover kde (now garbage) packages. | 06:02 |
| rwparris2 | LordKow: I'll try in a sec | 06:02 |
| syph | eww kde | 06:02 |
| gartral | LordKow: and i do use some KDE progs, like i cant live without k3b | 06:02 |
| rogermudd | syph: I'll give it a shot later. Trying to finish up and go to bed. Thanks for your help. Have to admit, this sound situation is not ideal -- at least for me. | 06:03 |
| LordKow | gartral, yea neither can i. you shouldn't need ksysguard for any qt/kde apps though... | 06:03 |
| Rolle | Meh--I hope they fix this stupid fglrx in 9.04 =/ | 06:03 |
| syph | dude, when i first started bumpin ubuntu, i googled for weeks | 06:03 |
| syph | it's just one of those things | 06:03 |
| Rolle | google=your friend | 06:03 |
| syph | TBH i couldn't even get irc to work when i first started with linux | 06:03 |
| Rolle | I been googling for about 7 months =p | 06:04 |
| syph | Lol yeah, when I switched to slackware | 06:04 |
| gartral | LordKow: and Exiale needs to be a tad better before it can replace AmaroK | 06:04 |
| syph | google became homepage | 06:04 |
| Rolle | i still have problems =p | 06:04 |
| syph | every day | 06:04 |
| rogermudd | syph: Yeah. I've actually been battling this for *years.* Perhaps a mobo issue. Maybe a discreet sound card is the answer. | 06:04 |
| syph | drop the usb headset man | 06:04 |
| syph | lol | 06:04 |
| LordKow | gartral, all true. i hate what happened with amarok 2. rhythmbox has done me just fine since i switched over to it a year ago | 06:04 |
| Rolle | i'm attempting to get around not being able to get to gnome | 06:04 |
| syph | i've never had good quality out of usb anyway | 06:05 |
| o0Chris0o | rogermudd: sometimes, its best to buy a pci sound card, does the trick. | 06:05 |
| syph | Rolle, you're not in gnome? | 06:05 |
| cipherZen | gRunt: got to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal to open up the shell, then just run handbrake-gtk to start it from the command line | 06:05 |
| Rolle | no =/ 9.04 is f-ed up | 06:05 |
| rogermudd | syph: That would be the easy solution. But audio capture is generally considered superior via USB. That's important to me. | 06:05 |
| Rolle | i'm running from terminal | 06:05 |
| LordKow | you should be in ubuntu+1 | 06:05 |
| syph | What window manager are you using? | 06:05 |
| syph | LOL | 06:05 |
| o0Chris0o | Rolle: Its not f-ed up, its still Alpha, hasn't been offically released yet :) | 06:05 |
| Rolle | LordKow: thanks i was looking for that | 06:05 |
| rogermudd | syph: If that's directed at me, I'm using Gnome. | 06:06 |
| Rolle | that doens't make it not messed up | 06:06 |
| Rolle | =p | 06:06 |
| syph | Rolle, ever used fluxbox? | 06:06 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest8669 | ||

| o0Chris0o | syph: yuck | 06:06 |
| syph | Roger, no it was too rolle, but out of curiosity, why using linux for audio capture? | 06:06 |
| syph | chris: srsly!? | 06:06 |
| Rolle | syph: no i haven't. | 06:06 |
| gartral | LordKow: someone was the light, AmaroK is now 1.4.10 in repos | 06:07 |

| rogermudd | syph: Trying to put together some linux-related screencasts. That, and I'm moving all my machines to Linux. Cost issues. | 06:07 |
| LordKow | yea the ubuntu devs realized most would not enjoy amarok 2. it's still available just not in the official ubuntu repositories | 06:07 |
| syph | roger: at least you can justify you're decisions | 06:07 |
| rogermudd | syph: True. I guess you sleep in the bed you make -- or some other form of that cliche. | 06:08 |
| toothy | Does anyone know if it's possible to stop gnome from auto rotating thumbs??? | 06:08 |
| syph | roger: indeed, i'd using mac for audio though... | 06:08 |
| syph | use* but that's a whole nother story | 06:09 |
| pepperjack | toothy: id assume its nautilus doing that but not sure howto change. | 06:09 |
| rogermudd | syph: I actually have a unibody MBP. Nice machine, but I'm selling it in a bit for reasons including freedom and cash deprivation ;-) | 06:10 |
| toothy | pepperjack, yes i think that's right... stupid question but how is nautilus different from gnome? | 06:10 |
| syph | roger: i was referring to a hackintosh ;) i couldn't drop all that money on a mac | 06:11 |
| pepperjack | toothy: nautilus is the file manager, gnome is the desktop environment. | 06:11 |
| rogermudd | tooth: Nautilus is the file manager for Gnome which, in turn, is a desktop environment. | 06:11 |
| rogermudd | pepperjack: jinx | 06:11 |
| rogermudd | syph: Tried the Hackintosh route. Too much fiddling a the time. And again, wanted to get away from vendor lock-in. | 06:12 |

| g4lt-lappy | slimjimflim, I thought it was Siouthern ;P | 06:48 |
| slimjimflim | no idea | 06:48 |
| Scooma | an expert question... when your ubuntu initramfs's etc, and updates the modules for us in the new kernel, how can you automatically add kernel modules rather than having to reboot, rerun my compile.rocketraid.sh and reboot? | 06:48 |
| b1b50n | :(((((((((((( | 06:48 |
| Scooma | *use | 06:48 |
| * g4lt-lappy was making a pun about GA, US | 06:48 | |

| thiefy` | there's your answer. | 06:49 |
| syph | epiphany is sloowwww for me | 06:49 |
| b1b50n | fuck | 06:49 |
| b1b50n | :( | 06:49 |
| g4lt-lappy | melik, other than being moribund, yeah | 06:49 |
| BABER | what's best download manager which capable with rapidshare ? | 06:49 |
| farlig | melik, epiphany doesn | 06:49 |
| farlig | melik, epiphany doesnt have add-ons | 06:50 |
| digdug | I have an hp scanner, the only way I know how to tell the printer not to use jpeg compression when scanning is to use "hp-scan -xraw -n"; my problem is it would be nice to use xsane or gnome-scan so I can use a preview and crop the image before scanning | 06:50 |
| melik | well not firefox addons, but it has extensions | 06:50 |
| melik | such as ad-block, etc | 06:50 |
| farlig | where do i find those? | 06:50 |
| g4lt-lappy | BABER, wget ;P | 06:50 |
| digdug | do either of those applications know how to tell an hp scanner to send the scan as a raw scan | 06:50 |
| melik | farlig, | 06:51 |
| melik | tools > extensions | 06:51 |
| inad922 | hello | 06:51 |
| gladiator | hi.. i have a usb stick.. it usually does mount.. but today it has refused to.. any clues? fixes? | 06:51 |
| slimjimflim | aww, man, and i just translated 'no georgian here' | 06:51 |
| slimjimflim | fyi, it's Tekrar Tanim ara veya Tüm sözlüklerden ara | 06:52 |
| inad922 | Is there any tool for linux with which I can tag my files? | 06:52 |
| farlig | melik, why do you think epiphany is better? is it faster? i'm tired of firefox.. i think it's way to slow | 06:52 |
| slimjimflim | except idk if irssi supports unicode | 06:52 |
| inad922 | and then search by tags of course | 06:52 |
| adred | can't launch pidgin after removing the iconless applet from the panel. what's wrong?how do I add it back again? | 06:52 |
| melik | farlig, im testing it now.. its actually pretty nice | 06:52 |
| Scooma | inad922, you mean mp3 files? | 06:52 |
| melik | yeah firefox gets crazy slow after a while | 06:52 |
| BABER | g4lt-lappy: wget is capable with rapidshare uploader can use with wget with premium acount ? | 06:52 |
| inad922 | no Scooma everything | 06:52 |
| syph | adred: drag it to panel from menu | 06:53 |
| inad922 | I have an awful lot of ebooks at this seems the best way to categorize them | 06:53 |
| melik | epiphany seems lighter and quicker to be honest | 06:53 |
| syph | i've never had good results with epiphany | 06:53 |
| Scooma | ?? everything can already be identified by using file eg. file /etc/fstab | 06:53 |
| LogicFan | inad922, check out the ebook organization tool calibre | 06:53 |
| melik | syph, the new one in gnome 2.26 is really nice | 06:54 |
| melik | you'll see it in jaunty | 06:54 |
| inad922 | thanks LogicFan Ill do that | 06:54 |
| syph | meh, i don't use gnome | 06:54 |
| melik | in 1 month | 06:54 |
| LogicFan | might be exactly what you're looking for | 06:54 |
| melik | oh nvm | 06:54 |
| adred | syph: i know how to. the problem is I don't know what kind of applet i just removed. it had no icon. i thought it was a bug so i removed it. | 06:54 |
| fakhir | hello everyone. how can i get a list of users and groups on ubuntu server? | 06:54 |
| DWSR | Hey, I'm having some trouble with booting from the LiveCD. I just did a media check and a memtest and both come back clean. I'll post the error in a second. | 06:54 |
| sachinvlk | thanx buddies for the solutions | 06:54 |
| syph | melik: is the new gnome out? | 06:54 |
| melik | syph, yes | 06:54 |
| syph | that's what you just said, eh... | 06:54 |
| syph | maybe i'll give it a whirl | 06:55 |
| ysis | How can I clean my graphics drivers to the installation state? (Running Ubuntu Intrepid) | 06:55 |
| melik | syph, get the new jaunty alpha 6 iso | 06:55 |
| hacker_kid | i get "bash: /home/justin/opt/bin/hg: No such file or directory" when running hg, the hg executable is in /usr/bin/hg. /usr/bin should be in the path why isnt bash using that executable? | 06:55 |
| melik | and run it in virtualbox | 06:55 |
| melik | its frickin amazing | 06:55 |
| Scooma | fakhir, users are in /etc/passwd and groups are in /etc/group | 06:55 |
| syph | yeah i'll do that | 06:55 |
| syph | i still enjoy my fluxbox | 06:55 |
| syph | so i try everything else in vmware | 06:55 |
| DWSR | hacker_kid: /usr/bin is probably listed after ~/opt/bin | 06:55 |
| melik | man im sick of youtube, jesus christ.. there getting ridiculous with these search results | 06:56 |
| fakhir | Scooma, ok thanks, i will take a look | 06:56 |
| DWSR | For shit you don't even want. | 06:56 |
| melik | what happened to good old youtube that ONLY searched videos | 06:56 |
| Scooma | melik put -youtube after your search criteria | 06:56 |
| LogicFan | melik, did they decide on a new final default theme yet in alpha 6? | 06:56 |
| syph | I don't like the "recommended for you" section | 06:56 |
| hacker_kid | DWSR, so what? shouldnt bash look through all the directories in the path for the executable | 06:56 |
| gartral | I hate to ask this here again but, how do i tell k3b to ignor the fact that a single layer DVD is 4.4 gig? (i have expanded Philips disks of 4.7 gb) no ones in #kubuntu | 06:56 |
| jussi01 | !language | DWSR | 06:56 |
| ubottu | DWSR: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 06:56 |
| melik | now i get, channels result, promoted videos, etc | 06:56 |
| BABER | g4lt-lappy: wget is capable with rapidshare uploader can use with wget with premium acount ? | 06:56 |
| Scooma | ysis do you have nvidia or ati? | 06:56 |
| melik | i get playlist results | 06:57 |
| o0Chris0o | !ohmy melik: | 06:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ohmy melik: | 06:57 |
| syph | pft lol | 06:57 |
| DWSR | jussi01: Huh? | 06:57 |
| adred | syph, any idea? | 06:57 |
| o0Chris0o | !ohmy | melik | 06:57 |
| ubottu | melik: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 06:57 |
| melik | LogicFan, jaunty comes with a new usplash | 06:57 |
| gartral | Scooma: he has nvidia | 06:57 |
| DWSR | hacker_kid: No, it searches the directories in the order that they're listed. | 06:57 |
| melik | and 3 new gtk themes | 06:57 |
| ysis | Scooma, I have nvidia and fiddled around with the drivers. In the end my initial problem vanished but I lack OpenGL support now. So I wanted to make a clean start without reinstallation. | 06:57 |
| DWSR | It uses the first one it finds. | 06:57 |
| jussi01 | DWSR: try to keep a lid on the language ;) | 06:57 |
| melik | called.. give me a sec | 06:57 |
| DWSR | jussi01:What language? I've said 3 things in here. | 06:57 |
| LogicFan | melik, i thought they were going to change the new default theme completely? is it just the same as intrepid? | 06:58 |
| DWSR | Oh, nvm. | 06:58 |
| melik | New Wave, Dust, and Dust Sand | 06:58 |
| DWSR | Wrong window anyway. | 06:58 |
| syph | ysis: uninstall the driver through envy | 06:58 |
| syph | reinstall | 06:58 |
| melik | no you have 3 new themes | 06:58 |
| gladiator | can anyone help me with usb mounting? i put in my usb stick and it didnt get mounted.. i'm using 8.10... it used to mount automatically | 06:58 |
| farlig | what is the best searchcommand for the terminal? | 06:58 |
| melik | ill link you to them | 06:58 |
| gRunt | Hey if i was interested in learning more about ubuntu scripting and so forth where would I look the ubuntu wiki? | 06:58 |
| LogicFan | as soon as jaunty final comes out, i'm getting a brandnew hdd for my laptop to install it on :) | 06:58 |
| inad922 | Thanks for the help again LogicFan. I give calibre a try. | 06:58 |
| digdug | gnome-scan doesn't appear to have an option; but I did find the setting in xsane: window -> show advanced options, you can change the scanner compression there | 06:58 |
| melik | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-9-04-039-s-New-Themes-106961.shtml | 06:59 |
| melik | LogicFan, ^ | 06:59 |
| hacker_kid | DWSR, i dont think your understanding me. why would it tell me that that ~/opt/bin/hg does not exist when i run hg. there is an executable at /usr/bin/hg so it should look through the directories and find the executable. not just look in ~/opt/bin and say it doesnt exist! | 06:59 |
| Scooma | ysis usually a reinstall will reset to default settings | 06:59 |
| DWSR | hacker_kid: Is your Path even correct in the first place? | 06:59 |
| hacker_kid | DWSR, yes | 06:59 |
| digdug | too bad, gnome-scan is better looking and I like the crop interface better | 06:59 |
| o0Chris0o | !gnome-scan | 06:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-scan | 06:59 |
| DWSR | hacker_kid: Paste in PM | 06:59 |
| melik | LogicFan, and heres the new usplash in jaunty > http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1237386187.png | 06:59 |
| Scooma | ysis but run gksudo nvidia-settings to make some changes | 07:00 |
| hacker_kid | DWSR, you dont need to see my path, this isnt a standard path problem | 07:00 |
| Scooma | ysis, otherwise if you want to go the whole hog, make sure you backup your xorg.conf file, then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:00 |
| hacker_kid | DWSR, normally i would get that "hg" is not a valid command | 07:00 |
| ysis | Scooma: I did that before. Will try the reinstallation now and post the result. | 07:00 |
| digdug | !gnomescan | 07:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomescan | 07:00 |
| DWSR | hacker_kid: As you obviously know everything, why do you not fix the problem yourself? | 07:01 |
| syph | lol | 07:01 |
| syph | "hacker_kid" in a support channel | 07:01 |
| DWSR | regardless. | 07:01 |
| syph | humorous. | 07:01 |
| DWSR | My boot of the Ubuntu install media has stalled. | 07:01 |
| DWSR | Is there a way to see what it's stuck on? | 07:01 |
| LogicFan | melik, but no new gnome theme in alpha 6 install? | 07:01 |
| DWSR | I have the splash screen enabled. | 07:01 |
| hacker_kid | DWSR, all that is valid as far as the path goes is that "/usr/bin" and "~/opt/bin" are in the path, and have been working for ages | 07:02 |
| syph | 'details'..? | 07:02 |
| Keal_ | i am getting to the point i am thinking about either reformatting and using xp again or just give up ever doing anything useful with ubuntu :/ | 07:02 |
| syph | keal | 07:02 |
| syph | bad idea | 07:02 |
| ysis | DWSR: remove the "quiet" with F6 | 07:02 |
| DWSR | Ah, here we go. It failed. | 07:02 |
| melik | LogicFan, im not sure; ive been using it since alpha 3 and been upgrading to bleeding edge everyday | 07:02 |
| melik | upgrading packages* | 07:02 |
| Keal_ | syph why is it a bad idea? | 07:02 |
| DWSR | ok | 07:02 |
| LogicFan | melik, upgrades going well? using a vm or for your everyday machine? | 07:02 |
| histo | Keal_: whats is wrong? | 07:02 |
| LogicFan | thinking about trying alpha 6 in a vm just for kicks | 07:02 |
| hacker_kid | syph, "hacker" in the original sense of the word meaning a programmer, not the insulting definition the media has provided you and the general public | 07:02 |
| syph | get off my nut sack | 07:03 |
| DWSR | Umm....well......I have a screenful of text that means nothing to me. | 07:03 |
| Keal_ | i haven't gotten a single thing in ubuntu to work the way i wish since last Saturday when i installed it | 07:03 |
| melik | everyday machine, its really stable; although join #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion | 07:03 |
| Scooma | DWSR there should be a [fail] on the right side | 07:03 |
| DWSR | Nope. | 07:03 |
| LogicFan | thanks | 07:03 |
| gladiator | heres what dmesg | tail says | 07:03 |
| gladiator | http://pastie.org/420662 | 07:03 |
| DWSR | It's just sitting here doing lots of mothing. | 07:03 |
| DWSR | nothing, even. | 07:03 |
| o0Chris0o | Keal_: it takes more time then a week to fully utilize ubuntu's potential | 07:03 |
| histo | Keal_: what sort of problems are you having? Is it possible they are all related to one cause? | 07:03 |
| syph | Keal: what do you need help with? | 07:03 |
| g4lt-lappy | hacker_kid, uhm the original sense is actually the latter one. if you make the artificial diffeerential between ethical hacking and unethical hacking, you aren't either | 07:04 |
| DWSR | Scooma: Does the installer just...really..hang a lot? | 07:04 |
| Keal_ | i am having the trouble i can't get software to work reliably the instant i want install it | 07:04 |
| syph | well, that will never happen with linux | 07:04 |
| syph | but | 07:04 |
| melik | LogicFan, i had some trouble with nvidia graphics and xorg, and some with alsa.. thats mostly it | 07:04 |
| DWSR | The current line is [488.272405] ============ | 07:04 |
| melik | but that was back in alpha 3 | 07:04 |
| syph | the more you use it, the quicker you become installing everything | 07:04 |
| Scooma | DWSR, installer? or your system? are you trying to install ubuntu? | 07:04 |
| Keal_ | also there is a sheer lack of non buzzword psychobabble documentation for a damn thing for ubuntu | 07:04 |
| DWSR | Scooma: I'm booting into Live environment. I wanted to install. | 07:04 |
| histo | Keal_: to receive any help you may have to be more specific. Or talk about one problem you are having. | 07:04 |
| syph | i almost gave up linux because i couldn't figure out how to tar files, but once you figure it out, it's 2nd nature | 07:04 |
| Scooma | gladiator postbin your sudo lsusb | 07:05 |
| Keal_ | histo i will make it simple, i can't get ubuntu to do a damn thing right | 07:05 |
| syph | keal what do you want installed right now? | 07:05 |
| melik | i hate compiling from source | 07:05 |
| syph | meh | 07:05 |
| DWSR | melik: I only compile from source. | 07:05 |
| syph | same | 07:05 |
| Scooma | melik, i love it when it works ;) | 07:05 |
| Keal_ | i want to stream soundcard capture to a remote shoutcast server that already exists | 07:05 |
| DWSR | Which is why I like Gentoo more. | 07:05 |
| DWSR | Keal_: Ices. | 07:05 |
| Keal_ | a specific shoutcast server | 07:05 |
| gladiator | Scooma: its not responding | 07:06 |
| LogicFan | melik, alsa is the bane of my ubuntu experience :( | 07:06 |
| Keal_ | i can't use darkice | 07:06 |
| DWSR | Keal_: Ices. | 07:06 |
| Keal_ | it won't install and doesn't run on amd64 anyways | 07:06 |
| histo | Keal_: No one is going to be able to help you with a vague statement like that. Also have you checked for documentation built in to ubuntu and help.ubuntu.com. Google searches often turn up plenty of answers since the distro is so commonly used. | 07:06 |
| g4lt-lappy | Keal_, then gcc and make | 07:06 |
| melik | i prefer binaries; much easier | 07:06 |
| Scooma | gladiator, something is wrong with your usb root hubs then? | 07:06 |
| DWSR | Scooma: PM? | 07:06 |
| melik | although compiling is sometimes fun :) | 07:06 |
| g4lt-lappy | if you can't use what's packaged, you can always build it yourself | 07:06 |
| Scooma | gladiator, did you update your bios? is this a new problem that just appeared? | 07:06 |
| DWSR | fun to watch your intro to java teacher drop jaw at your screen. | 07:06 |
| Scooma | DWSR, okay | 07:07 |
| melik | haha yeah | 07:07 |
| syph | lmao yeah | 07:07 |
| Keal_ | g4lt-lappy, i should just be able to find a single program that works, i have downloaded over 30 things and none of them work | 07:07 |
| syph | my teacher freaked out the other day just because he saw me installing something | 07:07 |
| syph | verbose code streaming the screen, he made me shut down my laptop it was wack | 07:07 |
| ysis | Scooma: I removed the driver with envyng, reinstalled via "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers", but I'm lacking OpenGL support. 'glxgears' gives me """Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual""" | 07:07 |
| g4lt-lappy | Keal_, what were the "over 30 things", win32 binaries? | 07:07 |
| histo | Keal_: are you installing applications from synaptic? | 07:07 |
| Keal_ | also most of the 30 things the documentation on the repository doesn't match the documentation for the program | 07:07 |
| melik | yeah i was in my intro to computer science class (microsoft office and stuff, yeah shhhhhhhh its 5 units) | 07:08 |
| melik | anyways, i was ssh'd to my home computer | 07:08 |
| gladiator | scooma: theres nothing wrong with the usb hubs i suppose.. it was running fine yesterday.. | 07:08 |
| Keal_ | so i end up downloading and installing stuff that does something entirely different than my goal | 07:08 |
| g4lt-lappy | typically if you want something in ubuntu_ you use sudo apt-get install <package>, and that will pretty much always work | 07:08 |
| gladiator | i didnt update my bios | 07:08 |
| melik | and was just messing around, was on irssi and stuff | 07:08 |
| melik | he got so scared haha | 07:08 |
| syph | lol | 07:08 |
| syph | it's weird how people get scared of something they know nothing about | 07:08 |
| syph | just because it's not windows | 07:08 |
| gladiator | Scooma: yes, it just appeared out of nowhere | 07:09 |
| melik | syph, they get afraid at black screen with white text | 07:09 |
| Scooma | gladiator, did you boot with usb drives attached? | 07:09 |
| syph | haha indeed they do | 07:09 |
| gladiator | Scooma: no. its a simple drive with some media on tit | 07:09 |
| gladiator | it* | 07:09 |
| g4lt-lappy | my onloy issue right now is synaptic's "fastest server" is hardy heron :( | 07:09 |
| melik | i have ubuntu jaunty installed on my 8 gig flash drive; i sometimes boot into it from my school computers | 07:09 |
| melik | its actually pretty nice | 07:10 |
| syph | i want to go back to ubuntu completely | 07:10 |
| syph | i just can't for some reason | 07:10 |
| Keal_ | what program do i use for ubuntu 8.10 amd64 in order to stream soundcard capture to an already existing server, i do not know what 'ices' is | 07:10 |
| wrektkjet | hey how do you check resolution settings? | 07:10 |
| syph | nvidia-settings | 07:10 |
| syph | er | 07:10 |
| wrektkjet | yea | 07:10 |
| syph | gksudo nvidia-settings | 07:10 |
| fuminglava | does anyone know how to fix the flickering video with ATI cards and compiz enabled? i can see proper video when compiz is disabled. | 07:10 |
| gladiator | Scooma: sudo lsusb gives this: http://pastie.org/420666 | 07:10 |
| histo | Keal_: are you trying to stream to an icecast2 server? | 07:11 |
| Adrian` | why did my xconfig decide to screw up? | 07:11 |
| Keal_ | no to a shoutcast dnas | 07:11 |
| syph | alright, i'm out, court in the morning, laters | 07:11 |
| banisterfiend | hey guys what's the ubuntu equivqalent of winzip? | 07:11 |
| melik | good luck syph | 07:11 |
| fuminglava | !compiz | 07:11 |

| Adrian` | rar | 07:11 |
| histo | Keal_: the problem most likely is mp3 and aac support not being there in the debian version of the package. | 07:11 |
| banisterfiend | i need to open a .zip archive, but i dont seem to have the program | 07:11 |
| syph | thx | 07:11 |
| laxmi_ | hello | 07:11 |
| banisterfiend | how do i install it and what's it called? | 07:11 |
| histo | Keal_: there are patent problems with mp3 | 07:12 |

| laxmi_ | any one can help me? | 07:12 |
| syph | um | 07:12 |
| histo | Keal_: so the solutions would be to build darkice yourself or use the medibuntu version. | 07:12 |
| wrektkjet | sheesh syph how do u know all these things offhand | 07:12 |
| syph | on probation for evading police | 07:12 |
| melik | laxmi_, just ask your question. | 07:12 |
| Scooma | reading.... | 07:12 |
| Keal_ | 7zip exists for windows too | 07:12 |
| Adrian` | apt-get install rar | 07:12 |
| histo | Keal_: http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/darkice.html | 07:12 |
| syph | spell what things, wretkjet? | 07:12 |
| banisterfiend | Keal_, i mean the standard one that comes with ubuntu, the one with the graphicsl interface | 07:12 |
| syph | then i was chased 3 weeks ago and totaled my car | 07:12 |
| Keal_ | what is medibuntu? | 07:12 |
| syph | been skipping out on my Probation Officer | 07:12 |
| laxmi_ | I could not compile srilm in Ubuntu 8.4 | 07:12 |
| wrektkjet | likw howd u know the command for nvidia graphics | 07:12 |
| syph | and havent paid my fines | 07:13 |
| laxmi_ | language modeling toolkit | 07:13 |
| Keal_ | and why hasn't someone else already built the amd64 version? | 07:13 |
| syph | apparently i have a warrant shit sucks | 07:13 |
| histo | !medibuntu | Keal_ | 07:13 |
| melik | ouch syph | 07:13 |
| ubottu | Keal_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 07:13 |
| syph | yeah, lol | 07:13 |
| syph | it's whatever | 07:13 |
| histo | Keal_: its already built in medibuntu. | 07:13 |
| syph | i just hope they give me a computer in jail | 07:13 |

| ubottu | syph: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:13 |
| laxmi_ | so what to do? | 07:14 |
| melik | laxmi_, have you checked the repositories? | 07:14 |
| laxmi_ | yes | 07:14 |
| melik | couldn't find it? | 07:14 |
| histo | Keal_: thats the one thing that is really annoying right now about linux is the whole free vs. nonfree and codec issues. | 07:14 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin | ||
| laxmi_ | I gcc newest version | 07:14 |
| melik | pastebin your error | 07:14 |
| syph | keal: do you have all your audio codecs installed? | 07:14 |
| laxmi_ | but fail to compile | 07:14 |
| melik | laxmi_, pastebin ur error | 07:15 |
| histo | syph: its an issue with the debian version of the package not being built with mp3 support. | 07:15 |
| banisterfiend | i made the silly mistake of deleting the program that can open compressed archives, like .zip and .tar.gz files etc in the gnome gui.....what do i install again to get that program back? | 07:15 |
| LogicFan | histo, yeah, for new users especially. however, the problem is really one of legal issue, not linux | 07:15 |
| syph | dun dun dun, well i'm out on that one, no experience | 07:15 |
| banisterfiend | i just want the normal one, nothing 'fancy' plz :D i just want back whatever i stupidly uninstalled | 07:15 |
| ysis | banisterfiend: Try 7zip | 07:15 |
| syph | tar -zxvf to untar files | 07:15 |
| gladiator | Scooma: any clue? | 07:15 |
| Niphyr | Does anyone know of a good site/post detailing how to easily setup from an empty HDD, dual boot of XP/Ubuntu? | 07:15 |
| histo | LogicFan: yeah but it breeds issues like keal is experiencing, and I once went through. | 07:15 |
| syph | well .tar.gz files anyway | 07:16 |
| banisterfiend | ysis: i already tried apt-get install 7zip with no success | 07:16 |
| banisterfiend | syph, i mean in the gui | 07:16 |
| histo | LogicFan: Keal_ its a huge learning hurdle when you first start out. That there are all thses legal concerns over something as trivial as mp3 | 07:16 |
| banisterfiend | syph, i can do it from console no problem, but i want the gui app that can do that | 07:16 |
| ysis | banisterfiend: What do you mean by "no success"? Failed installing? | 07:16 |
| laxmi_ | Already pasted pestbin | 07:16 |
| doleyb | Niphyr: install xp first, install ubuntu second, and you're done | 07:16 |
| syph | banisterfiend: just learn it in terminal, it's a lot quicker | 07:16 |
| LogicFan | histo, until patent/ip/copyright law changes, its a tough one to tackle, i sympathize | 07:16 |
| banisterfiend | ysis: it coudln't find the package | 07:16 |
| syph | ah, well, okay | 07:16 |
| Scooma | gladiator, can you pop the device back into another machine? from there, unmount it properly | 07:16 |
| quibbler | banisterfiend: sudo apt-get install file-roller | 07:16 |
| syph | Niphyr: make sure you partition correctly! | 07:16 |
| doleyb | Niphyr: (for more speed, only put XP on one partition to start with, although ubuntu can resize if needed) | 07:17 |
| syph | okay, i'm out for real this time, laters | 07:17 |
| LogicFan | ubuntu's installer will auto-partition correctly if you install XP first | 07:17 |
| Niphyr | I plan on hopefully only using Xp when I can't figure something out on ubuntu | 07:17 |
| ysis | banisterfiend: p7zip-full | 07:17 |
| LogicFan | or you could try using a virtual machine with XP so you don't have to reboot :) | 07:17 |
| cipherZen | yeah, that's what i do :P | 07:18 |
| Niphyr | That's not a bad idea. I have plenty of Xp machines around anyway so might just try straight ubuntu | 07:18 |
| cipherZen | can't stand rebooting | 07:18 |
| banisterfiend | tanks guys | 07:18 |
| banisterfiend | nice help :) | 07:18 |
| LogicFan | virtualbox works great with XP | 07:18 |
| Keal_ | W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 07:18 |

| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 07:18 |
| LogicFan | or, if you're inclined, vmware workstation is a bit faster and more optimized than virtualbox | 07:18 |
| o0Chris0o | Keal_: ^ | 07:19 |
| Niphyr | Now, I have googled a bit and I don't want to start any wars in here.. but KDE or GNOME for a first time user? Or are they that similar it doesn't matter.. | 07:19 |
| cipherZen | yeah, never had any problems with it. if you install the guest additions as well, virtual box handles xp pretty much seamlessly | 07:19 |
| DWSR | Keal_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 07:19 |
| DWSR | Literally the second link on the page. | 07:19 |
| DWSR | Read it and follow. | 07:19 |
| Keal_ | i already followed the directions on medibuntu.org | 07:19 |
| LogicFan | Niphyr, default ubuntu is gnome. i'd stick with that | 07:19 |
| DWSR | No you didn't. | 07:19 |
| Niphyr | Easy fixed, cheers. | 07:19 |
| histo | Keal_: Its warning you because you don't have the gpg key installed for that repository. | 07:19 |
| DWSR | I can tell you that they most certainly include installing a PGP key. | 07:19 |
| ysis | Niphyr: Use Gnome, KDE is sort of a mess right now | 07:19 |
| g4lt-lappy | you started messing around with medibuntu without reading the documentation, including how to get the signing keys? | 07:20 |
| ysis | And I find them quite similar | 07:20 |
| histo | Keal_: basicaly to prevent installing from an unknown source. | 07:20 |
| cipherZen | Niphyr: entirely personal choice. I use gnome now, but i switch back and forth. gnome is better documented for ubuntu though from what i've seen | 07:20 |
| Keal_ | ok i did it again and it worked this time | 07:20 |
| DWSR | *sigh*. | 07:20 |
| laxmi_ | hi melik | 07:20 |
| Niphyr | Alright, thanks. | 07:20 |
| LogicFan | g4lt-lappy, follow the directions on mediabuntu site, they are fairly straight-forward | 07:20 |
| g4lt-lappy | LogicFan, try pointing that thing at Keal_ | 07:20 |
| Niphyr | Well I'm off to go play, i'm sure I'll be back :p | 07:20 |
| ysis | Niphyr: You can change later if you change your mind or use both parallel | 07:20 |
| LogicFan | ;D | 07:20 |
| slimjim | before i ask is there anyone awake in here | 07:21 |
| slimjim | having some issue with XawTV | 07:21 |
| g4lt-lappy | SlimeyPete, nope | 07:21 |
| g4lt-lappy | slimjim, ^^^ | 07:21 |
| Scooma | gladiator, at worst follow http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-898939.html | 07:21 |
| LogicFan | go to mediabuntu site, copy/paste repos into synaptic, copy/paste key and add to synaptic, reload synaptic, search for the packages you want, click apply and install :) | 07:21 |
| slimjim | I know this is ubuntu but I am runing dreamlinux 3.5 ati radeon all in wonder tv card. i got pic but no sound | 07:21 |
| histo | Keal_: you would have to accept that its being installed from an untrusted source if you don't want to install the key. | 07:21 |
| histo | slimjim: you may want to ask the dream linux people or in #linuxhelp | 07:22 |
| bony | hi all i am trying to configure my fax from the internal modem i am using efax. as of now every thing is working fine but i want to send group faxes at a time which is not possible in efax for that i installed gfax which has group fax option but when i am trying to save any fax number in the phone book they are not getting saved. can any one help me on saving the phone numbers in the phonebook? | 07:22 |

| Keal_ | there is no 'show medibuntu' in add/remove | 07:26 |
| DWSR | How can I disable the LiveCD from trying to load FUSE? | 07:26 |
| Keal_ | i don't understand why i was told to add the medibuntu repository | 07:27 |
| Keal_ | there still is no darkice in the repository | 07:28 |
| DWSR | How can I disable the LiveCD from trying to load FUSE? | 07:28 |
| g4lt-lappy | because medibuntu/ubuntu studio is probably the best plavce you can look for any audio/video authoring,streaming solution | 07:29 |
| g4lt-lappy | but hey, you'd know that if you READ THE DOCS | 07:29 |
| Keal_ | i don't think any of you have any idea what you are talking about | 07:29 |
| LogicFan | wooo gnome 2.26, i hope the packages become available for 8.10 64bit shortly :) | 07:30 |
| g4lt-lappy | Keal_, I'd say they did, if onluy bhecause they read the docs | 07:30 |
| Keal_ | g4lt-lappy, what docs? how am i suposed to read docs i don't know about | 07:30 |
| g4lt-lappy | you just blindly download stuff without reading the site? | 07:31 |
| * g4lt-lappy wonders where that ubuintusatanic url is | 07:32 | |
| voice5sur5 | hi | 07:32 |
| Keal_ | i read the netire medibuntu and darkice page | 07:32 |
| voice5sur5 | someone can give me some help with bash scripting | 07:32 |
| slimjim | g4lt can you point me in the right diretin on getting help with my tv tuner card | 07:32 |
| Keal_ | neither mentines a amd64 version existing | 07:32 |
| voice5sur5 | its a little problem | 07:32 |

| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| Keal_ | i read the entire medibuntu page and i still don't understand why i did the terminal commands you told me to do | 07:34 |
| jtaji | Keal_: http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/darkice.html | 07:34 |
| syph_ | xterm-color | 07:35 |
| Keal_ | NOTE: The Debian version of DarkIce is only compiled with Ogg Vorbis support due to patent reasons and will therefore only work with IceCast2 servers! | 07:35 |
| Keal_ | does that mean darkice won't be able to do what i want it to anyways? | 07:35 |
| g4lt-lappy | until you instgall the fluendo codec pack, yes | 07:36 |
| Keal_ | this is getting very seemingly stupid very fast | 07:37 |
| g4lt-lappy | but hey, at least you have an idea what your problem is now, thanks to the docs, and it's pretty easily solved, look for fluendo | 07:37 |
| jtaji | Keal_: the very next sentence says that this version is compiled with mp3 and aac support, this is the medibuntu version, not the debian/ubuntu version | 07:38 |
| g4lt-lappy | mp3 support is kinda bad, because of the fraunhofer patents, fluendo has a fraunhofer license and can distribute mp3 codecs | 07:38 |
| jtaji | that's the whole point of medibuntu | 07:38 |
| g4lt-lappy | jtaji, I still thought you had to install fluendo codecs | 07:39 |
| slimjim | i need help with Xawtv and dreamlinux, ATI Radeon All In Wonder AGP card got video but no sound. Anyone have any idea's | 07:39 |
| === giuseppe is now known as Guest92896 | ||
| g4lt-lappy | slimjim, do you have any sound at all, and is your soundcard attached to your AIW? | 07:40 |
| jtaji | g4lt-lappy: only if your lawyer tells you you can't use lame as an mp3 encoder I guess :p | 07:40 |
| Keal_ | http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/fluendo.html "404 Not Found" | 07:41 |
| slimjim | i have sound yes everywhere else with dvd play back and mp3 | 07:41 |
| slimjim | AIW what is that. you mean the tv tuner part of the card I do not see anyware or anything that needs to be attached to eachother | 07:41 |
| slimjim | dont have the books either this is a free pc | 07:41 |
| Keal_ | jtaji, | 07:41 |
| jtaji | Keal_: I didn't say anything about fluendo | 07:43 |
| Keal_ | g4lt-lappy, i have an ATI not AIW is that bad :S | 07:43 |
| g4lt-lappy | slimjim, uhm the AIW doesn't have a sound chip, so you prolly need to run a wire from the AIW to the soundcard or make sure your tv app can handlle dumping output to the AKSA/OSS driver | 07:43 |
| g4lt-lappy | AIW is short for all-in-wonder | 07:43 |
| g4lt-lappy | Keal_, not talking to you on this part | 07:43 |
| Keal_ | g4lt-lappy, you were helping two different people for similar problems, " Keal_ " and " slimjim " | 07:44 |
| g4lt-lappy | not similar at all. his is pretty much a hardware issue | 07:44 |
| g4lt-lappy | yours is a wetware one | 07:44 |
| Keal_ | mine is hardware issue too somewhat, so i got confused who is talking to who | 07:44 |
| slimjim | ok...g4lt is there anyway to see if the AIW can handle dumping sound. i will google th other issue and see if there is a way to connect it to the sound card witch is a soundblaster live 16 i belive | 07:45 |
| Keal_ | do i need fluendo or not? | 07:45 |
| g4lt-lappy | no, mp3 playback is entirely wetware, and I'd like to flay the fraunhofer lawyers to prove it | 07:45 |
| g4lt-lappy | Keal_, let me introduce you to a neat commandline thing caled "apt-cache search" do one for fuledo and surprisingly you'll have a lot of packages | 07:46 |
| Keal_ | will medibuntu darkice amd64 work without fluendo? i can't find docs on this | 07:46 |
| Keal_ | ..or alternatively where are the docs saying it comes with fluendo | 07:47 |
| g4lt-lappy | 'well, it might, especially if jtaji is right, I just always go with fluendo to make sure | 07:47 |
| gartral | how do i start a live cd on a system with bad ram (ie, a BadRAM kernel) | 07:47 |
| Keal_ | i don't know how to install fluendo :< | 07:47 |
| Keal_ | ----> http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/fluendo.html | 07:47 |
| Keal_ | says 404 not found | 07:47 |
| g4lt-lappy | again, try apt-cache search fluendo | 07:48 |
| jtaji | Keal_: fluendo is something you buy from a company, it's certainly not in the medibuntu repo | 07:48 |
| ysis | gartral: Are you looking for memtest? | 07:48 |
| jtaji | Keal_: and no, you don't need it | 07:48 |
| gartral | ysis: no, i already know the ram is bad and beyond repair, i need a badram build to get my laptop up | 07:49 |
| crdlb | Keal_: the medibuntu version uses open source mp3 support | 07:49 |
| slimjim | g4lt does catalyst shed any light..i do belive the sound comes from the card thur the MOBO i could be wrong | 07:49 |
| cipherZen | if you're just trying for mp3 support, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will get it for ya | 07:49 |

| cipherZen | granted, you may be breaking laws depending on where you live | 07:49 |

| g4lt-lappy | slimjim taht's one of the methods I outlined, yes. catalyst won;'t do anything for you at this point | 07:50 |
| Keal_ | i don't know what this means: http://paste.ubuntu.com/133485/ | 07:50 |
| gartral | ysis: theres a badram kernel option, wich is great, if i could get the computer up in the first place | 07:50 |

| jtaji | SuspectZero: install dosfstools for mkfs.vfat | 07:52 |
| vng | what is svn? how do i install it on ubuntu? | 07:52 |
| SuspectZero | ah i see vfat | 07:52 |
| SuspectZero | that should be fat32 then | 07:53 |
| g4lt-lappy | SuspectZero, you can mkfs a fat32, but I'd recommend having the app/OS requiring fat32 do the formatting | 07:53 |
| jtaji | !info subversion | vng | 07:53 |
| ubottu | subversion (source: subversion): Advanced version control system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 332 kB, installed size 4124 kB | 07:53 |

| crdlb | it's a server | 07:57 |

| g4lt-lappy | PoisonIvy, your ISP | 08:08 |
| magnetron | PoisonIvy→ public IP adresses are usually assigned to you by an ISP | 08:08 |
| doleyb | PoisonIvy: Maybe consider a service like dyndns.org | 08:09 |
| crdlb | Keal_: why did you post that? | 08:09 |
| crdlb | Keal_: it's right there: "darksnow - simple graphical user interface to darkice" | 08:09 |
| Keal_ | cr it says i have it but it wo't install it saying it doesn | 08:09 |
| gh0st3r | crdlb doesnt 180 have issues? or is it ok to use? | 08:09 |
| crdlb | Keal_: did you run 'sudo apt-get install darksnow'? | 08:10 |
| Keal_ | t add/remove can't find it | 08:10 |
| crdlb | Keal_: it probably doesn't appear in add/remove because it doesn't have a menu entry | 08:10 |
| talon223 | is 9.04 at a stable enough point to use it for my main install? I want someone's opinion | 08:11 |

| mmu_man | hi | 08:12 |
| noren___ | talon223: they releasse updates every day | 08:12 |
| noren___ | !hi | mmu_man | 08:12 |
| ubottu | mmu_man: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 08:12 |
| mmu_man | anyone using phpmyadmin ? wondering why just installing it doesn't make it appear in /var/www/ but in /usr/share instead, anything special to do ? | 08:12 |
| mmu_man | tried dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin, tried reinstalling, didn't help | 08:13 |
| PoisonIvy | magnetron: I don't really know what most of these terms mean... okay, public IP. So I should have one of these? How do I find out what it is, then? | 08:13 |
| eth | mmu_man, create an alias in your vhost config file | 08:13 |
| saloxin | mmu_man: it should drop a config snippet in under/etc/apache - reload apache? | 08:13 |
| mmu_man | the doc at file:///usr/share/phpmyadmin/Documentation.html just states the "official" installation (get the tar, ...) | 08:13 |
| eth | saloxin, sometimes it doesnt appear there for some reasons | 08:13 |
| saloxin | gah. bugreport. | 08:13 |
| mmu_man | eth: so I should tell apache to graft /usr/share/phpmyadmin somewhere ? | 08:14 |
| noren___ | hi anyone using realplayer with ubuntu, my vids in rel player get stuck everyfew second | 08:14 |
| mmu_man | let's see | 08:14 |
| magnetron | PoisonIvy→ usually it's the IP adress of your computer. unless you have a router, then it's the WAN IP adress of the router | 08:14 |
| mmu_man | actually I do have: /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf:Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin | 08:14 |
| mmu_man | maybe it's not reached soewhere | 08:15 |
| saloxin | mmu_man: restart apache2? | 08:15 |
| haaga | anyone tried the nslu2 version of ubuntu? | 08:15 |
| PoisonIvy | magnetron: Oh-kay. I tried my IP but it didn't work... I'll fiddle around. I have to go now, so.. thanks. I'll keep trying later. | 08:15 |
| mmu_man | oh wait, nevermind, forcing 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin actually seems to work | 08:15 |
| mmu_man | it just doesn't show up in the listing in / | 08:16 |
| gh0st3r | crdlb, hmmm.... i cant get the two screens to work now.... how do i configure the driver? | 08:16 |
| mmu_man | apache is weird... | 08:16 |
| eth | mmu_man, that is because it an alias | 08:16 |
| crdlb | gh0st3r: use nvidia-settings | 08:16 |
| eth | it isn't a real directory | 08:16 |
| saloxin | mmu_man: expected behaviour actually, although slightly confusing. | 08:16 |
| mmu_man | indeed | 08:16 |
| mmu_man | thx anyway | 08:16 |
| danielito | hi guys. which filebrowser can you recommend a windows user that is migrating to ubuntu? I'm so used to the windows explorer | 08:17 |
| mmu_man | now I need to remember that oscommerce db password | 08:17 |
| Keal_ | what are 'locking keys'? i did the setup for orca and said yes to enabling that | 08:17 |
| Keal_ | i said no to braile tho | 08:17 |
| gh0st3r | crdlb, thanks :) | 08:17 |

| danielito | gartral: and do I have to configure nautilus a lot? because it appears to me quite different than the windows explorer which I like, becuase I always have a complete directory structure on the left side | 08:25 |

| Vampire | can ayone help me | 08:25 |
| mashman | doleyb can you give me a documentation how to shrink my winxp partition | 08:25 |
| === Vincent is now known as Guest78848 | ||
| ysis | Vampire: Just ask. ^^ | 08:25 |
| doleyb | mashman: When you start the ubuntu installer, it asks if it should shrink. It's pretty easy to figure out. | 08:26 |
| gartral | danielito: see the Places drop? hit it and switch to Tree | 08:26 |
| doleyb | mashman: Also you might like to try wubi instead | 08:26 |

| mashman | could i use it also my existing windows ? | 08:27 |
| danielito | gartral: wow. not that bad ;) thanks a lot for starting me up! | 08:28 |
| doleyb | mashman: Well you need some disk space for ubuntu. You can either give it a new hard drive that you buy, a partition on your drive, or just a big file within the winxp ntfs. | 08:28 |
| Keal_ | MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK BECAUSE OF ORCA, HOW DO I ENABLE USING IT AGAIN? | 08:28 |
| gartral | danielito: no problem, i think you'll find ubuntu quite comfortable if you explore and let yourself get curious... | 08:29 |

| Keal_ | WHY IS MY CAPSLOCK KEY STUCK TURNED ON? | 08:39 |
| aprilhare | Keal_: damaged keyboard? | 08:39 |
| gartral | Keal_: because you have failed to configure orca corectly | 08:39 |
| maxagaz | gartral, i saw it, and i think so | 08:39 |
| hellmitre | compiz still has several 'features' that are broken | 08:39 |
| Keal_ | HOW DO I CONFIGURE ORCA TO NOT STICK CAPSLOCK | 08:39 |
| aprilhare | Keal_: well for starters you're using xchat not orca | 08:40 |
| Keal_ | :< | 08:40 |
| hellmitre | you could turn off Orca, Keal | 08:40 |
| gartral | hellmitre: well... thats not true.. some just take and extremely ridiculously powerfull gfx card | 08:40 |
| Keal_ | I DID | 08:40 |
| maxagaz | the virtual keyboard doesn't work for me with orca, also it seems there's a conflict between compiz and orca | 08:40 |
| aprilhare | hmmmmmm. | 08:41 |
| hellmitre | gartral, all the features requiring a good graphics card work for me, but some (like grouping/tabbing windows) never do anything of value | 08:41 |
| danielito | gartral: ah, I know amarok. I checked this out on a live linux once, it's reeeaaallly great. but what about mplayer? i thought this is a good one too. I don't like totem i have to say | 08:41 |
| hellmitre | mplayer is bare-bones, basically | 08:42 |
| hellmitre | not a great media manager | 08:42 |
| danielito | well. I don't need a media manager just for playing my movies hellmitre | 08:42 |
| trippppy | anyone using leadtek pci-e TV tuner under *nix? | 08:42 |

| doleyb | gartral: mplayer setup is easy and fast with medibuntu's packages | 08:44 |

| Keal_ | i hit disable sticky keys when two keys held together and pressed shift+capslock now capslock is permanently turned off >:/ | 08:45 |
| gartral | Keal_: alt-caps lock, i beleive, or ctrl-caps... | 08:45 |
| danielito | simplexio: indeed I don't need a gui at all, my gui for browsing my moviez is nautilus | 08:46 |
| Keal_ | didn't do anythign >:/ | 08:46 |
| danielito | simplexio: but isn't the development of mplayer still alive? | 08:46 |
| ubd | hello how do i ssh to another machine, which program shall i install? | 08:46 |
| doleyb | gartral: Yes, it's not any harder than any other player to setup | 08:46 |
| hellmitre | ubd: what operating system is that machine running? | 08:46 |
| === osfamero1 is now known as osfameron | ||
| doleyb | udb: ubuntu already has ssh with it, type ssh | 08:47 |
| hellmitre | if it's running any flavor of linux, installing the openssh-server should do it | 08:47 |
| maxagaz | i have installed ubuntu using preseed (on PXE) but it installed me a system with arabic keyboard by default, how to change that ? | 08:47 |
| gartral | doleyb: see... mplayer just dies on me, no matter what i do too it, and it has so, accross all my computers, across all versions of linux, and it seems espetially unstable in ubuntu, ever since 6.06 | 08:48 |
| killahrs | anybody klnow of a tv streamin program that would work on xubuntu on ps3? | 08:49 |
| hellmitre | I think development on mplayer in ubuntu stopped when other media players ended up better and with more features, gartral | 08:49 |
| hellmitre | but that's as far as I know | 08:49 |
| gartral | hellmitre: im not complaining, i ussually dump it as soo as i install ubuntu, for its lack of worth too me | 08:50 |
| LogicFan | anyone heard of firefox remapping mouse buttons sporadically on the fly? | 08:50 |
| doleyb | gartral: that's pretty funny... what player do you use instead? | 08:50 |
| hellmitre | I use banshee, personally, though no one's asked me >_> | 08:51 |
| hellmitre | banshee for music, VLC for movies, mpd occasionally when I'm restarting X a lot | 08:51 |
| PWilder | Does anyone know how I can save all my Ipod photos? | 08:51 |
| gartral | doleyb: vlc, wich works beautifully, on occasion ill use dragon... i havent tried banshee, though i installed it | 08:51 |
| PWilder | I mean, I want to get them off of my Ipod and put them into my pictures folder. | 08:52 |
| hellmitre | banshee's the best media manager I've gotten my hands on so far | 08:52 |
| hellmitre | I tried songbird but that was way too resource-intensive | 08:52 |
| LogicFan | i use a combo on songbird and banshee | 08:52 |
| LogicFan | on=of | 08:52 |
| PWilder | LogicFan: can you a bit more specific? | 08:53 |
| PWilder | songbird doesn't handle photos. | 08:53 |
| LogicFan | PWilder, i haven't decided which i like better, so i use both | 08:53 |
| LogicFan | i like songbird's extension capabilities and web-functions, but banshee is much faster | 08:53 |
| gartral | LogicFan: i like songbird on windows, havent even thought to try the linux one yet, did they ever land gstreamer as there engine? | 08:53 |
| LogicFan | PWilder, why would it? its a music player | 08:54 |
| LogicFan | yes, gstreamer | 08:54 |
| maxagaz | can i install ubuntu 64 bits on Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 ? | 08:54 |
| LogicFan | maxagaz, yes | 08:54 |
| PWilder | LogicFan: I need to export photos to my computer. Not music. | 08:54 |
| gartral | maxagaz: yes, i believe so | 08:54 |
| hellmitre | are pentium dual cores 64 bit processors? | 08:54 |
| PWilder | I am using Gtkpod for that which i like better than those two progams. | 08:54 |
| bimi | can somebody please help me? i have 2 hard disk, the first one has ubuntu and vista, the second hard disk has xp; the problem is grub only detects the xp, how do configure grub to boot into vista? | 08:54 |
| gartral | maxagaz: dont sweat, if it wont load, it will tell you to go get a 32 bit disk | 08:54 |
| LogicFan | hellmitre, yes | 08:55 |
| hellmitre | huh | 08:55 |
| hellmitre | didn't know that :) | 08:55 |
| PWilder | does anyone know how to Export photos from an Ipod? | 08:55 |
| PWilder | I am using GPixPod, but it doesn't let me do a mass export. | 08:55 |
| gartral | PWilder: search ipod manager in the repos | 08:55 |
| PWilder | I did, and nothing is close by GPixPod. | 08:55 |
| PWilder | but* | 08:55 |
| hellmitre | I've heard of Hipo as being a decent iPod manager | 08:55 |
| PWilder | Hipo is having problems recognizing my Ipod. | 08:56 |
| hellmitre | oh | 08:56 |
| gartral | does hipo manage other devices (sans, to be exact) | 08:56 |
| hellmitre | lameskates; sorry to hear that | 08:56 |
| maxagaz | gartral, does it mean that in the future, ubuntu 32 will become obsolete ? | 08:56 |
| gartral | s// sans sansa | 08:56 |
| hellmitre | maxagaz, as more and more processors become 64 bit machines, eventually ubuntu 64 will become more used | 08:56 |
| PWilder | maxagaz: 64bit is best for either 64bit or 32bit with m ore than 4gigs ram. | 08:56 |
| gartral | maxagaz: only if 32 bit procs are ever put out of production, but thats not even close too being a reality | 08:57 |
| hellmitre | but 32bit ubuntu oughtta run on 64 bit machines, too | 08:57 |
| PWilder | hellmitre: It has serious compatibility problems on a 32bit system with less than 4 gigs ram. | 08:57 |
| hellmitre | really? | 08:57 |
| PWilder | Yes. | 08:57 |
| jscinoz | ]/win 27 | 08:58 |

| dennda | gartral: Are you looking for true transparency? In that case I suggest compiz or some other compositing | 09:02 |

| === r00tlinuxusr is now known as r00tlinu | ||

| gartral | r00tlinu: yes, thankyou... | 09:15 |

| Rods_Tiger | is it possible to display a clock and a weather display on top of a photograph display in ubuntu, as a permanently running display? | 09:15 |
| * r00tlinu nods | 09:15 | |
| SlimeyPete | so a lot of people refer to both architectures as "amd64" | 09:15 |
| SlimeyPete | erm, that was aimed at gartral ;) | 09:16 |
| dandre | hello, | 09:16 |
| gartral | SlimeyPete: yes, its compatible on a base level, but the itanium one has a few stability features the amd64 specs ignore | 09:16 |
| odysseas | Hi guys, does the default ubuntu installation include tools to create a dial-up connection? | 09:17 |
| SlimeyPete | gartral: itanium isn't compatible at all. You mean EMT64. | 09:17 |
| r00tlinu | it should. | 09:18 |
| SlimeyPete | Itanium != x86-64 :) | 09:18 |
| SlimeyPete | gartral: but yes, fair point | 09:18 |

| killahrs | your computer too slow maybe. | 09:46 |

| ubottu | haaga: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 09:47 |
| ysis | ActionParsnip, I just want to make sure that I got all the hardware acceleration which is possible. | 09:47 |
| haaga | sorry about that. | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ysis: glxingo | grep -i direct | 09:47 |
| gladiator | ActionParsnip: I hope its not that.. but i guess it will get the partition if ubuntu doesnt lock it when i shut it down.. i have to manually mount this volume every time i start ubuntu.. and it gives me an error for the first time | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | oops | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | glxinfo | 09:47 |
| lakitu | jtaji, thing is, i swore i did this before | 09:47 |
| lakitu | if not with this set, with another, made by Cobian. so i know you 'can' | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | gladiator: you can mount with force to make it mount | 09:48 |
| lakitu | i don't know, maybe it was a different set, & this set just happens to be messed up | 09:48 |
| BABER | what is the best download manager with resume support? | 09:48 |

| gh0st3r | is there problems with 8.10 and running firefox? firefox keeps making the screen flicker! | 09:49 |
| gh0st3r | ? | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | BABER: best doesnt exist anywhere outside your own opinion on your own taste | 09:49 |
| gartral | before i go, i have one last question, i have a cdrom with a now ancient feature, a headphone jack... how do i play through it? | 09:49 |
| gladiator | ActionParsnip: i did this: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/New\ Volume -o force and it didnt work. says: fuse: failed to access mount point /media/New Volume | 09:49 |
| r00tlinu | mkdir /media/newvolume | 09:50 |
| sachin_ | i think there's no solution to my problem in this room | 09:50 |
| BABER | ActionParsnip: i want support premium account rapidshare | 09:50 |
| ysis | sachin_, can you open 'xterm' from the dialog you get with Alt+F2? | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | gladiator: i'd use -o force,uid=1000 | 09:50 |
| killahrs | gartral: cds work.. | 09:50 |
| r00tlinu | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/newvolume -o force | 09:50 |
| sachin_ | ok...sure | 09:50 |
| sachin_ | yes opened | 09:50 |
| sachin_ | now what | 09:50 |
| gladiator | r00tlinu: same thing, ActionParsnip: uid=1000? didtn get you there | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | BABER: i'd try a few, see which support the service. | 09:50 |
| haaga | anyone tried the nslu2 version of ubuntu? | 09:51 |
| ysis | sachin_: try to start your desired application there. e.g. type 'firefox' | 09:51 |
| gartral | killahrs: yes, i know, im playing one, and ide like the output through the cdroms hardware, not my sound card... | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | gladiator: it allows users to write to the partition as ntfs permissions are retarded | 09:51 |
| lakitu | what is the (if any) graphical p7zip cli name? | 09:51 |
| BABER | ActionParsnip: rapidshare | 09:51 |
| killahrs | thats about what u get man. shit is old. | 09:51 |

| bazhang | haaga, what is that | 09:52 |
| gartral | !ohmy | killahrs | 09:52 |
| sachin_ | ok...let me explain my problem in detail....after booting my laptop...i need to login with different account to make my laptop work | 09:52 |

| ActionParsnip | lakitu: once you get 7zip install ok then file-roller will manage it ok. just use 7z x my7Zzipfile | 09:52 |
| ysis | sachin_: You use Intrepid with Gnome? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | r00tlinu: try #bash | 09:53 |

| lakitu | ActionParsnip, but file-roller isn't working, so i'm trying alt.s. is there a gui for p7zip? - or no | 09:54 |
| haaga | bazhang: dist built for the linksys nslu2 | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: you need to run a cd playing software and jam some phones n there, the little dial is for volume | 09:54 |
| bazhang | haaga, official ubuntu or not | 09:54 |
| Mba7eth | g | 09:54 |
| gh0st3r | my screen is flickering like crazy! | 09:54 |
| gh0st3r | what the heck? | 09:54 |
| haaga | i think its official | 09:54 |
| bazhang | gh0st3r, try disabling compiz | 09:54 |
| bazhang | haaga, link | 09:54 |
| haaga | hold on | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | lakitu: not that i know of, the cli is simple though. i thought file roller would manage it. ark does it so i figured fileroller would | 09:55 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: .... i know i needed headphone, anvd ive tryed with vlc, sound juicer and exaile... | 09:55 |
| Keal_ | what do i put as 'mount point' in darksnow?? | 09:55 |
| lakitu | ActionParsnip, it probably does, but i'm having trouble with a cat'ed .7z file, so i'm trying alternative methods | 09:55 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: they all play through the soundcard, none through the cd drives device | 09:56 |
| haaga | bazhang: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/NSLU2 | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | lakitu: cat'd 7z files? | 09:56 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang, nope still going like crazy :( | 09:56 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang, other ideas? :S | 09:56 |
| lakitu | ActionParsnip, a bunch of .001, .002, ... files that i cat'ed into one .7z file | 09:56 |
| bazhang | haaga, did you have an issue installing it? | 09:56 |
| bazhang | gh0st3r, sounds like driver issue | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: i thought audio played through, do you ave the cd audio cable connected from the soundcard direct to the driive? | 09:57 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang, i have a 9800 and using nvidia-180. is that what could be causing it :S | 09:57 |
| bazhang | gh0st3r, this is intrepid? | 09:57 |
| killahrs | i got an idea. someone should make a linux/something for the otheros optionfor playstation in java or whatever with .mkv codecs flac so on. i mean. basicly just a linux lite lite. | 09:58 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang, yea | 09:58 |
| BABER | whith which command can test md5 file? | 09:58 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: i said it once CDS WORK! though the sound card, i want the output through the front port, on the cdrom... | 09:58 |
| lakitu | jtaji, ActionParsnip, i'm trying another set now | 09:58 |
| ysis | BABER: md5sum | 09:58 |
| bazhang | killahrs, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:58 |

| killahrs | oh...' | 09:59 |
| kelli | can anyone tell me the best site to learn linux on is? | 09:59 |
| killahrs | ok | 09:59 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: and no, i removed the card that stopped working, the intergrated card doesnt have a place for an audio connector | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: i think you need the cable from sound card to the drive to route the audio back. kill the caps. i can read lower case | 09:59 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang, thanks :) | 09:59 |
| kelli | can anyone tell me the best site to learn linux on is? | 09:59 |
| ysis | kelli: Just use it. ;-) | 09:59 |
| gh0st3r | kelli, start with the ubuntu help docs | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | kelli: www.ask.com www.google.com www.ubuntuforums.com | 09:59 |
| ysis | kelli: And google your problems. | 09:59 |
| bazhang | kelli, ubuntu or linux in general | 10:00 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: i didn't relise the caps was on, im sorry | 10:00 |
| bazhang | !rute | kelli | 10:00 |
| ubottu | kelli: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 10:00 |
| kelli | linux | 10:00 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: and no, the cable didnt help when i had it attached either | 10:00 |
| bazhang | kelli, there is also a free ubuntu guide (pdf) you can download | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: there is a 4 pin connector that connects to the soundcard to the back of the cd drive, i think that gives the audio there | 10:00 |
| lakitu | gartral, the cable has got to be connected .. | 10:01 |
| Niphyr | ActionParsnip: Under hardware drivers, it says i need to restart to activate the nVidia driver... but if I do that the whole system reverts to defaults (Live CD) | 10:01 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html kelli | 10:01 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: with or without, it didnt matter, im not dumb... | 10:01 |
| kelli | bazhang, thanks | 10:01 |
| Niphyr | I tried sudo apt-get clean and install. clean returned nothing, install returned all 0 | 10:01 |
| g4lt-lappy | clean doesn't ever return anything | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Niphyr: sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:02 |
| gartral | Niphyr: try sudo killall gdm, and restart gdm with sudo gdm after you've installed the drivers | 10:02 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia recommended, and not: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual gh0st3r | 10:02 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: and as i said, the intergrated card doesn't have a space for said hardware audio transpoert | 10:03 |
| g4lt-lappy | PROTOP, use pkill vice killall if you don't want to ruin your sysV finger-memory | 10:03 |
| bazhang | gh0st3r, seems some have probs with the 80 and that card, may have been solved according to forums link (with above links) | 10:03 |
| g4lt-lappy | PROTIP even | 10:03 |
| gartral | s// transpert/transport | 10:03 |
| g4lt-lappy | killall has a bit different meaning on AT&T unixes | 10:03 |
| Niphyr | ActionParsnip: Both were all 0... trying gartrals suggestion now... | 10:03 |
| r00tlinu | ??? 4. profit? | 10:03 |
| cast | g4lt-lappy: finger-memory being? | 10:04 |
| gartral | >.< i cant even spell my mispellings correctly | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: apparently it only works if you dont use DAE | 10:04 |
| gartral | how do i use that? | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: not sure what that is though | 10:04 |
| lakitu | i must say, i've been using windows for the last few months, & it's nice to be back in linux/ubuntu | 10:04 |
| g4lt-lappy | cast, eventually if you type in something enough, it becomes automatic and you sometimes just type in a word without thinking | 10:04 |
| gartral | Direct Audio Engine, i believe | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: from a forum: If possible, try plugging a set of headphones into the front of the CD drive and see if that produces output. I'm pretty sure that the headphone jack on the front of the drive only works when a CD is being played normally and not in DAE mode. It should at least prove/disprove if normal CD audio is working at the drive level. | 10:04 |
| cast | g4lt-lappy: ok, and? | 10:05 |
| cast | g4lt-lappy: ah, i see. that tip was a waste of bytes. | 10:05 |
| g4lt-lappy | cast really, do a killall on HP-SUX | 10:05 |
| Niphyr | gartral: sudo killall gdm; froze the system then ~30 seconds after the machine rebooted on me.. back at square one again | 10:05 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: really... take a sec and think here, would i have asked if it worked? i tryed that, and i tryed pulling the jack from the back (hardware supports intelligent jacks) | 10:06 |
| cast | g4lt-lappy: really, why would i use that? ;) | 10:06 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang thanks :) | 10:06 |
| gartral | Niphyr: then the only way is too install ubuntu... | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: well, take a sec yourself..are you using DAE? | 10:06 |
| g4lt-lappy | Niphyr, have you tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop? | 10:06 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: i dont know how to use it | 10:06 |
| Niphyr | g4lt-lappy: no, I haven't. | 10:07 |
| r00tlinu | change the jack setting in qjackctl? | 10:07 |
| g4lt-lappy | cast you'll only do it once | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: thats why i pasted the info...try loosing the attitude and read | 10:07 |
| g4lt-lappy | Niphyr, then don't kill gdm, use the f00kin initscript. whoever told you to kill it was a fool | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: find out what iDAE is then find out if you are using it, if you are, thats why its not working | 10:07 |
| AdvoWork | hi there, anyone know how to ping a ip range on a local network, ie .2 - .200 for example? | 10:07 |
| gartral | !iDAE | 10:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about iDAE | 10:07 |
| Niphyr | g4lt-lappy: Do you understand what i am trying to do? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: could write a script | 10:08 |
| Niphyr | gartral: I was hoping to test video performance and WINE before installing ubuntu... was hoping I could at least check the drivers on the LiveCD | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: http://www.itserviceworks.com/ping-an-ip-address-range/ | 10:08 |
| cast | AdvoWork: nmap is good enough at scanning ip ranges | 10:09 |
| gartral | Niphyr: hmm.... im not sure how to install the drivers from a live cd | 10:10 |
| Niphyr | Can I install ubuntu on the same partition as vista? | 10:10 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: 4 pages into google searc retrieve a bunch of smeg about some financial firm... | 10:10 |
| dronix | Niphyr: no, need to set up a different partition | 10:11 |
| mcnicholls | hi. i want to have my sd card mount without the nodev options (so i can put my pbuilder cache on there), i have tried an fstab entry, but then my user doesn't have rights to mount as usual when the card is inserted. is there another way/option i can use? | 10:11 |
| Niphyr | dronix: ok, ty :( | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: search different or use a different search engine | 10:11 |
| ysis | !wubi | Niphyr | 10:11 |
| ubottu | Niphyr: 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. | 10:11 |
| cast | Niphyr: sure, but it's liable to be painful | 10:11 |
| simplexio | mcnicholls: in fstab add option user | 10:11 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang, read that... i have no idea whats wrong :-S | 10:12 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: you know how to figure out if im using it or not? | 10:12 |
| nutzer | hii | 10:12 |
| Niphyr | ysis: I wanted to run ubuntu by itself as an eventual replacement for vista, not along side it. Thankyou though | 10:12 |
| lakitu | hunh, jtaji ActionParsnip, it *was* the file set. another set cat'd & un-archived fine | 10:12 |
| nutzer | germany?? | 10:12 |
| mcnicholls | simplexio: oh yeah, i have used user before. think it was because of the hald automounting that i didn;t think about it. i presume it will still automount through hal with those options? | 10:12 |
| ysis | nutzer: #ubuntu-de | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: looks like some cd paranoia thing | 10:13 |
| simplexio | mcnicholls: noauto .. i think | 10:13 |
| ysis | Niphyr: Just make a partition for ubuntu then. | 10:13 |
| nutzer | i am from germany. | 10:14 |
| * XxGoldxX says hello room | 10:14 | |
| gartral | a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas? | 10:14 |
| ysis | nutzer: Wenn du deutsch sprechen willst, dann geh in den Raum #ubuntu-de. | 10:14 |
| mcnicholls | simplexio: ok think i should be able to get it sorted from there. thanks for the help | 10:15 |
| Niphyr | ysis: Attempting it again now :) Last time I tried to shrink the vista partition I got no end of file errors | 10:15 |
| * XxGoldxX has a question for someone familiar with raid 5 in ubuntu server 8.04 | 10:15 | |
| ActionParsnip | !raid | 10:15 |
| ubottu | raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 10:15 |
| ysis | Niphyr: Do you have a way to backup your partition? | 10:15 |
| simplexio | XxGoldxX: i have one | 10:16 |
| ysis | Niphyr: I never had success with resizing windows partitions... | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Niphyr: just plan the partitions and you dont have to resie, leave unpartitioned space and linux will offer to use it | 10:16 |
| XxGoldxX | simplexio: ok i have a raid 5 on my ubuntu server 8.04 with 3 drives can i add 2 more drives withour rebuilding | 10:16 |
| gartral | Niphyr: if you can get your hands on it, norton partition magic 8 works wonders on windows partitions | 10:17 |
| dan-ubuntu | jaunty jackalope alpha 6 isn't buggy-swear | 10:17 |
| simplexio | XxGoldxX: probably not. but google. i have only made "ready" raid systems | 10:17 |
| eanda-sbs | hey all. pretty disappointed in Ubuntu 8.10. all my nfs shares are not able to mount at boot time. Does anyone know a work around for this? It can't be a crude hack though because one of my nfs shares is where all my ldap user homes is located and this share has to be totally correct at boot | 10:17 |
| gh0st3r | bazhang, help?!? | 10:17 |
| === Nicke_ is now known as Nicke | ||
| XxGoldxX | Simplexio: i have googled but only get info on windows based arrays which doesnt help and ubuntu forumns only talk about installing raid software | 10:18 |
| gartral | XxGoldxX: not with raid 5, i forget why, i think its cause the striping sequence expect 3, and will see 5 | 10:18 |
| r00tlinu | qtparted instead of part magic? | 10:18 |
| ysis | Niphyr: You can also try the gparted live cd | 10:18 |
| ysis | Worked very well for me | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: you may need a script to test if your network devices have come up to mount them, or have the command: sudo mount -a run when you log in (assuming you added the mountings to /etc/fstab) | 10:19 |
| XxGoldxX | gartral: even if it is a software based array | 10:19 |
| kelli | now what can i use as a voice simulator for reading text? | 10:19 |
| lakitu | ActionParsnip, you help a lot =) i'm not in #here often, but you're always helping. that's awesome =D | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | kelli: espeak is ok | 10:19 |
| gh0st3r | im getting flickering on 8.10, on a second monitor, i have a 9800gt and i installed the drivers by doing a "apt-get install nvidia-glx-180" | 10:19 |
| jtaji | XxGoldxX: http://scotgate.org/2006/07/03/growing-a-raid5-array-mdadm/ | 10:19 |
| XxGoldxX | gartral: i thought one of the advantages with raid 5 was the ability to expand | 10:19 |
| gartral | XxGoldxX: it would require reloading everything and re striping it, unless you have a verryyy good software raid controller, i think its impossible | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | lakitu: i like to give to the community as the community gives to me | 10:20 |
| kelli | now what can i use as a voice simulator for reading text? | 10:20 |
| gartral | but i dont mess with raids oftem, i cant be sure | 10:20 |

| simplexio | XxGoldxX: try google madadm raid ... im sure that if you first build raid5 array like from 3 and define then that array uses 4 disk you can add one later. but not sure if you can add disk if you didnt build it that way | 10:21 |
| kelli | thanks | 10:21 |
| eanda-sbs | ActionParsnip: Yes I know I can run mount -a as root and get all my shares mounted from /etc/fstab. I have done that and it works successfully. My problem is on every reboot that has to be done and I'm not always present. and I'm not going to give away the su/root password so I can walk a user through that mounting process | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: you dont have a root pass (well, shouldnt unless you want a significantly less secure OS) | 10:22 |
| gartral | eanda-sbs: then add a sudoers entry for them? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: you could add the script to the last boot level so you know the network is up | 10:23 |

| bibe | hi everybody. i've a problem with pure-ftpd-mysql. allthough i defined "MYSQLUser", it tries to connect as root to the mysql server. does anyone have an idea? | 10:23 |
| eanda-sbs | This is such a basic function of linux, I fail to understand how Ubuntu could have possibly missed this during their release testing.. | 10:23 |
| Chousuke | eanda-sbs: add the "auto" option into their fstab entries. | 10:23 |
| * XxGoldxX is very thankful for all help with his issue so far | 10:23 | |
| Chousuke | eanda-sbs: that means they're mounted on boot. | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Chousuke: they are network resources and fstab runs before the network comes up, so the mount fails | 10:24 |
| Chousuke | ActionParsnip: hmm | 10:24 |
| eanda-sbs | Chousuke: Ok . maybe you hit on the right fix, because I don't have the auto variable on any network nfs share in etc/fstab | 10:25 |
| BABER | how can understand one package is installed or not? | 10:25 |
| Chousuke | eanda-sbs: well you could add a "username ALL=/sbin/mount -a" to sudoers | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: sudo apt-get install bum | 10:25 |
| AltoBurgo | hello all. Anyone knows a possible reason not to create /dev/fd0? Mine is not there... | 10:26 |
| Chousuke | eanda-sbs: that'd allow them to just run mount -a as root | 10:26 |
| eanda-sbs | ActionParsnip: what is bum? | 10:26 |
| === nick is now known as Guest47984 | ||
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: you can add a script to run the mount -a command afer the network is up | 10:26 |

| XxGoldxX | jtaji: thank you for the link | 10:26 |
| Chousuke | eanda-sbs: critical:, use "visudo" to edit the sudoers file. | 10:27 |
| eanda-sbs | ok thanks I'll take a look | 10:27 |
| AltoBurgo | I can only see /dev/fd/0 not /dev/fd0 | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: its a bit hacky but fstab needs running first to mount partitions so the boot can complete and network drivers can load, but it will fail as the network is down so NFS partitions fails | 10:27 |
| Guest47984 | 0 | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: the mount -a should be added to the last run level as you say, i'd log a bug for deffo | 10:28 |
| AltoBurgo | I can only see /dev/fd/0 not /dev/fd0. on my fstab I'ts referencing /dev/fd0... but's not there... Anyone can help? what should I look on dmesg? floppy is functional under windows... | 10:28 |
| gartral | a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas? | 10:29 |
| eanda-sbs | ActionParsnip: So what I should do then is list my nfs shares in fastab as noaouto then create a script in /etc/rc.d to mount the nfs shares later in the boot process. | 10:30 |
| PWilder | Need help with Ipod Video Management | 10:30 |
| AltoBurgo | sudo modprobe floppy | 10:30 |
| AltoBurgo | damn | 10:30 |
| AltoBurgo | that solved | 10:30 |
| AltoBurgo | thanks for nothing | 10:30 |
| FloodBot3 | AltoBurgo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: i'd add them as auto, then create a small script to run sudo mount -a | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | eanda-sbs: then add it to the bootup | 10:31 |
| kelli | gartral, how do i start espeak? | 10:32 |
| Ulysse_ | Hi everyone ;-) | 10:33 |
| eanda-sbs | ActionParsnip: Ok I can do that. question though. If I complete that what will be the mount status of the nfs shares at the GDM login screen on a reboot? My concern is that my one nfs share has to be mounted because it is the ldaphome directory for all users. If it isn't available then the user cannot log in | 10:33 |
| Ulysse_ | Needs small feedback | 10:33 |

| Ulysse_ | doh! | 10:34 |
| gartral | ch0de: i encounter a gfx card failure on hibernation, but i dont turn my comp off very often | 10:35 |
| BABER | what commadn can open screen shot ? | 10:35 |
| eanda-sbs | ActionParsnip: Did you catch that last question | 10:35 |
| ch0de | how can I debug what's happening when I obtain a white screen of death on hibernation? | 10:35 |
| gartral | BABER: try your print screen key.... | 10:36 |

| ubottu | manuel_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 10:38 |
| michazoet | hi to all | 10:38 |
| manuel_ | how can i stop the rescure X fix from work? i mean if i install a new kernel and have the nvidia driver loaded the next rebbot this "fix" stops me from installing my driver again because xerver is running | 10:39 |
| manuel_ | thanks for help | 10:39 |
| Chousuke | manuel_: I think just running sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should kill X completely. | 10:40 |
| error404notfound | I changed my vlc skin. Today I downloaded another skin and tried to use that but vlc denies to change skin even to default, I removed vlc by apt-get remove vlc, and then install it but it still have that old theme which over time has started to feel stupid. | 10:41 |
| manuel_ | no that doesnt work because gdm starts not realy ther is only a fram with text like:You running X in a low resolution | 10:41 |
| kfox | hia | 10:42 |
| kelli | any one know a text reader that can read web pages | 10:43 |
| zash | kelli: text-reader? | 10:43 |
| kelli | yes | 10:43 |
| austin_ | Where do i go to view my hardware on my machine? | 10:43 |
| kfox | kelli, nano, vi etc.. | 10:43 |

| beli | reader | 10:43 |
| beli | not viewer | 10:44 |
| zash | links2 -dump | less | 10:44 |
| beli | he wants the text to be spoken | 10:44 |
| kelli | how do i get them to worl | 10:44 |
| kelli | work | 10:44 |
| gartral | ysis: im glad i was able to help :) yea, the special effects really gnaw older cards like ours to death | 10:44 |
| kelli | i'm new to ubuntu | 10:44 |
| zash | kelli: like orca? | 10:44 |
| shyam_k` | where to set the key for wpa encryption for wifi router? | 10:44 |
| zash | kelli: http://live.gnome.org/Orca | 10:45 |
| kelli | zash, how do i get that? | 10:45 |
| ysis | austin_: 'sudo lshw' | 10:45 |
| gartral | austin_: lsusb shows usb hardwre thats recognised, lshw shows all hardware, and cat /proc/cpuinfo shows special info on your cpu | 10:45 |
| zash | kelli: i think it is installed by default, otherwise search for orca in add/remove or the package manager | 10:46 |
| ysis | austin_: Also try System > Administration > Hardware Testing from the panel. | 10:46 |

| ocol | Hey everybody. Can ubuntu cause your computer to shutdown strangely? | 10:48 |
| ocol | I tried to install ubuntu, but when it got to the installing logo, it shut down. | 10:48 |
| cast | ocol: yes. | 10:48 |
| ocol | And i restarted the computer like five times, and it always shut down. | 10:48 |
| ocol | I waited like 10 minutes and my computer worked alright with vista. | 10:49 |
| ocol | What's going on? o.O | 10:49 |
| gartral | i want to set my default terminal window size to 128x30 to conform to the bg image i set, how do i do this? | 10:49 |
| gartral | ocol: are you on amd athlon hardware? | 10:50 |
| ocol | Yup | 10:50 |
| ocol | Athlon 64 | 10:50 |
| ocol | turion sorry | 10:50 |
| Gothfunc | hi. i have an ATI sapphire hd3850 graphics card, and i'm trying to get HDMI audio working so i can pump the sound through my lcd tv. the HDMI device shows up in aplay -l and i have used asoundconf-gtk to set it as the default device. it works for some applications, but not for others. any ideas why this might be? | 10:50 |
| ocol | but i downloaded the AMD 64 version | 10:50 |
| ocol | It should work | 10:50 |
| Gothfunc | i've tried both hardy and jaunty, both have the same results. i can play a music file in totem but the same music file won't work in vlc. | 10:50 |
| gartral | ocol your hitting a thermal barrier, its a hardware issue, my laptops shutdown "randomly" when there too hot, i see it all the time | 10:51 |
| ocol | Oh | 10:51 |
| ocol | I get it | 10:51 |
| ocol | This is a laptop too | 10:51 |
| ocol | When it cools down, it works fine | 10:51 |
| ocol | That's why it shut downs in series. | 10:51 |
| ocol | But hey | 10:51 |
| gartral | ocol: the only way to "fix" it is to swap the offending procs out with new ones | 10:51 |
| ocol | Oh my god | 10:51 |
| ocol | O.o | 10:51 |
| ocol | Now i get it | 10:51 |
| bazhang | !enter | ocol | 10:52 |
| ubottu | ocol: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:52 |
| gartral | expensive, but it avoids data corruption | 10:52 |
| ocol | I was switching for ubuntu because I've noted that my computer is very slow | 10:52 |
| ocol | And it should work smoothly with vista as I have 2,0 ghz processor and 3 gb of RAM memory, but I think my processor is jammed. | 10:52 |
| ocol | So basicly I can't install ubuntu? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | ocol: I think you're mistaken | 10:53 |
| gartral | ocol: again, you have a semi-defective proc, if its new, contact amd or your OEM and explain the situation, they might send you a new proc, they did once for me after said issue destroyed a hardrive | 10:53 |
| ikonia | ocol: that processor is more than capable | 10:53 |
| ocol | This is a laptop. | 10:53 |
| ikonia | ocol: that dosn't change what I said | 10:54 |
| gartral | ocol: but as far as running ubuntu, it will word just fine | 10:54 |
| gartral | work* | 10:54 |
| ocol | Ikonia: Please read the issue I noted previously :) | 10:54 |
| ocol | Gartral: I'm running vista | 10:54 |
| RanyAlbeg | Hi all , i installed limewire via deb file and now im unable to uninstall it . can some help? | 10:54 |
| mchelen | i did something, and now my numeric keypad is moving the mouse instead of typing numbers? | 10:54 |
| ocol | And the problem is that I can't install ubuntu at all. | 10:54 |
| ocol | When installing it, the computer starts to shut down immedietely. It never does it in any other case. | 10:55 |
| gartral | ocol: like i said, the proc issue wont hurt ubuntu, but i recomend you stay far away from compize until you get a good proc, compize eats mine alive | 10:55 |
| ikonia | ocol: does it power off ? | 10:55 |
| ocol | Yup | 10:55 |
| ysis | RanyAlbeg: You should be able to find and remove it with Synaptic. | 10:55 |
| ikonia | ocol: then it sounds like a heat alarm is shutting it down | 10:55 |
| mchelen | ocol, have you tried the alternate install cd? | 10:56 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis: No , i cant | 10:56 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ocol, power off as in hard shutdown? or power off as in just shut down normally. | 10:56 |
| paul_fox | hia | 10:56 |
| ocol | Power of as in hard shutdown | 10:56 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis:Searching in synaptic gave no results | 10:56 |
| ocol | It closes immedietely | 10:56 |
| gartral | ikonia: hes having issues with a proc thats heat sensor is bad, he needs to replace it before he can run truly stable | 10:56 |
| ocol | Like when the processor gets over heated | 10:56 |
| ikonia | gartral: I missed that - thanks | 10:56 |
| ikonia | ocol: ok - so you need to talk to your hardware provider to get that hardware fixed | 10:56 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ocol, ikonia, gartral, shut down the cool'n quiet in the bios and let the fan run at full speed to test? | 10:57 |
| ysis | RanyAlbeg do you still have the .deb file? | 10:57 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis: : no :\ | 10:57 |
| ikonia | s3r3n1t7: and let it do potential damage ? no | 10:57 |
| ocol | I don't get it why it doesn't shut down never with Vista? | 10:57 |
| ocol | I've been working with Vista for years. It's a bit slow some times, but it doesn't shut down | 10:57 |
| ikonia | ocol: it may not get stretched that hot | 10:57 |
| nmaddy | Hi, how can I grep a file to show text only after 50 characters | 10:57 |
| ocol | Even when playing games etc. | 10:57 |
| gartral | iknoia i have the same issue, ocol, try hitting F6 twice before you install, and selecting APIC=off and try thun, but i warn you, feel your system once in a while too make sure you not running hot, or you WILL destroy your system | 10:58 |
| ikonia | ocol: it may be a bug with the ubuntu power managment schema | 10:58 |
| ikonia | gartral: that is why I'm not suggesting he do it | 10:58 |
| paul_fox | nmaddy, characan I grep a file to show text only after 50 characters | 10:58 |
| ocol | no thanks | 10:58 |
| ocol | I | 10:58 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ikonia, a fan running at full speed will not cause damage. Cool 'n quiet only disables the powering down of the fan speed. | 10:58 |
| ysis | RanyAlbeg: Can you download it again? Then just double-click on it. This should give you a popup where you can hit a deinstallation button. | 10:58 |
| paul_fox | nmaddy, characters or lines? | 10:58 |
| gartral | ikonia: yea, i made that mistake once... | 10:58 |
| ikonia | s3r3n1t7: then it shouldn't be hitting a themal alarm and powering off | 10:58 |
| nmaddy | characters | 10:59 |
| nmaddy | form every line | 10:59 |
| ocol | Theres no alarm | 10:59 |
| nmaddy | from* | 10:59 |
| ocol | It just shut down | 10:59 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis:i'll search for it again | 10:59 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis:also tried to dkpg -r limewire | 10:59 |
| ocol | I don't think they would change my hardwire at Acer Support as it's not basicly broken. | 10:59 |
| ocol | hardware* | 10:59 |
| gartral | ocol: yea, dont let the proc aproach 90 degrees celcius, thats the magic number of doom | 10:59 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis: i'llgo find it. | 10:59 |
| ysis | RanyAlbeg: I could always deinstall via Synaptic when I installed with this debi package manager thingy. | 10:59 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ikonia, aye, but i've noticed on my laptop that the thermal scheme is loaded very late and it can trigger the thermal alarm before being properly initialized by the kernel. I need to disable it or my laptop will just shut down after powering up. | 11:00 |
| gartral | ocol: technically it is defective though, they might replace it | 11:00 |
| ocol | Yeh.. that would take ages, ever tried Acers guarantee? :D | 11:00 |
| ikonia | s3r3n1t7: I won't be advising him to do that - so it's your call | 11:00 |
| error404notfound | I can't change my vlc skin :( | 11:00 |
| ocol | Took me 3 monthes once | 11:00 |
| ocol | umm.. | 11:01 |
| ocol | should have gone with macbook, atleast they deal their support fastly | 11:01 |
| nmaddy | paul_fox: can that be done with grep anyway? | 11:01 |
| gartral | yea, most corps REM programs are tidiously long | 11:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ocol, i know, i got an acer myself. They always run very hot, has been that way on every acer i've had my hands on. | 11:01 |
| ocol | Yep | 11:02 |
| ocol | Sometimes it hurts when writing | 11:02 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ikonia, acers always run extremely hot compared to other laptops and other OS's on the same laptop. | 11:02 |
| ikonia | s3r3n1t7: that doesn't change my stance | 11:02 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ocol, clock down your cpu. Works magic for me. | 11:02 |
| gartral | ocol: oh boy, double wami... | 11:02 |
| ocol | I thought changing the OS could help with the processor | 11:02 |
| ocol | As ubuntu isn't so hard to run as vista | 11:02 |
| ocol | but obviously I can't install it | 11:03 |
| gartral | ocol: i hate saying this, but windows 7 solved many thermal issues with the beta... | 11:03 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis: Ok found it , 80%.... | 11:03 |
| ocol | Never tried windows 7 | 11:03 |

| bazhang | please take windows chat elsewhere | 11:04 |
| ocol | Buy one, 3 monthes and it's old | 11:04 |
| ysis | RanyAlbeg: Is it working? | 11:04 |
| gartral | ocol: i found it... pleasent, actually, other than it wouldnt run anything unless you gave it admin privledges... | 11:04 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ikonia, i understand. Don't expect you to change either. There is however a huge temperature between windows and ubuntu. Also, my thoughts can't be done, acer doesn't have these options in the BIOS. | 11:04 |
| WebGuest | hi. i'm having a lot of difficulty getting a belkin wirewless g+ mimo usb adapter (f5d9050) to work with ubuntu (hardy). i have followed the instructions given here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236, but after step 13, ifconfig -a, wlan0 doesn't show up, only lo and eth0. can anyone help? | 11:05 |
| ocol | I could check how's my thermo actually in normal run | 11:05 |
| ocol | Maybe I could cool it down to install ubuntu? | 11:05 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ocol, how long does it take for yours to shut down? | 11:05 |
| ocol | A second | 11:05 |
| ocol | Oh | 11:05 |
| ocol | It goes to the installation part | 11:05 |
| ocol | and says Installing | 11:05 |
| ocol | and like 30 seconds to a minute and it closes | 11:06 |
| gartral | ocol, a nice cooling tray works, go by your local InkStop and ask them the their three fan tray, they'll set you up | 11:06 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ikonia, your opinion please, would it be possible to set the CPU speed slower to lower the heat? | 11:06 |
| ocol | yeh.. for laptop, sure.. | 11:06 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis: when i open the deb i can only see Reinstall Package | 11:06 |
| gartral | s3r3n1t7: if your BIOS supports it, its a great idea, if not, your risking a total system loss, i did it to my gaming machine and i couldn't boot it again, i have to pull the proc and let it bleed-reset before it would work again | 11:07 |
| ocol | it's really a bit funny that I can't watch even a full screen divx with out the processor bugging around | 11:08 |
| ocol | Oh my | 11:08 |
| Gothfunc | is there an app/game that really shows off good graphics cards? | 11:08 |
| gartral | ocol: yea intel hardware is alot more stable | 11:08 |
| ocol | My processor is '91 in normal use. | 11:08 |
| ocol | oops.. | 11:09 |
| s3r3n1t7 | gartral, i'm talking about software wise. sudo cpufreq-selector should be able to do it. | 11:09 |
| ysis | RanyAlbeg: Sorry, I was mistaken. Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474610 | 11:09 |
| ocol | Shouldn't it burn as it's 91? | 11:09 |
| gartral | s3r3n1t7: ahh, software side, yea | 11:09 |
| ysis | But you need to know the package name. | 11:09 |
| juniecho | Hi, I've copied a VMware virtual machine from Windows, and loaded VM in VMware Player. When I try to start the VM, it says VMDK file is not found. But the VMDK file is THERE. What should I do... somebody help. | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | ocol: no. It seems that your problem is now hardware related and isn't actually Ubuntu support issue anymore | 11:09 |
| RanyAlbeg | ysis: the name of the package is limewire-basic , so i can apt-get remove it no? | 11:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ocol, uhm yeah, your sensor is prolly broken and thus that reading isn't safe to assume to be correct. | 11:10 |
| Myrtti | ocol: if you want to discuss the matter, please do so at ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:10 |

(i have edit my hosts file in xp to make 'testserver' point to the servers ip) > so for instance "test.testserver' should point to a different folder on my webserver. how can i do this?!?! | 11:35 |

| wigren | @ironfroggy I'm sorry, I misread. | 12:10 |
| ironfroggy_ | because i an assure you its what i see. I can repeat it over and over and see the process still running. | 12:10 |

| Mohammad[B] | Hi All | 12:27 |
| Babykillar | hello gents.. got a q for ubuntu 8.10 on a One A570 netbook.. when using a Wifi connection without DHCP support I cannot confiure the default gateway IP address (using IPv4).. | 12:28 |
| vollmer | is there a tmpfs module for 2.6.24-23-server evidently it's not supported by defualt and it's not in the listed modules | 12:29 |
| error404notfound | my free diskspace is reported incorrectly, why so: http://pastebin.com/m4b1d2730 | 12:29 |
| Mohammad[B] | i have a 500GB hard disk and need to create 3 partitions once EXT3 and others NTFS, which style is good for me ? primary or extended ?!? please help me :-s and i dont want to install OS on this hard only for storage !!! Home Partition ! | 12:30 |
| jrib | error404notfound: why do you think it is incorrect? | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | Mohammad[B]: i always use primaries if possible | 12:30 |
| Lint01 | where can I find Gnome 2.26 as DEB? | 12:30 |
| pepperjack | Mohammad[B]: for 3 partitions only primarys are fine | 12:30 |
| drostie | Mohammad[B]: you can only have four primary partitions maximum. If you're not going over that limit, they can all be primary partitions. | 12:30 |
| error404notfound | jrib: have a look, 11G is total of / and 9.4 is used. By simple maths almost 1.6G should be free, while I have 0.6G, where is the missing 1G? | 12:31 |
| dreiermann | ubuntu wiki down? | 12:31 |
| jrib | error404notfound: are you aware that a percentage of space is reserved for root? Try with sudo | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | error404notfound: 5% is reserved.. if thats what is missing. | 12:31 |
| omsoleh | alow all brothers (user ubuntu) | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | the reserved space is tweakable with the tune2fs command. | 12:32 |
| danbhfive | Lint01: wait for jaunty, AFAIK | 12:32 |
| Mohammad[B] | dr_willis, pepperjack, drostie, Thanks, and if i use of extended partition that is dont't problem ?! | 12:32 |
| Kartagis | does vi do indentation only according to file extension? | 12:32 |
| drostie | error404notfound: ~5% of the partition is always reserved for the root user. | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | Mohammad[B]: not really. I just always use primaries if possible. | 12:33 |
| jrib | Kartagis: #vim | 12:33 |
| error404notfound | jrib: dr_willis: drostie: http://pastebin.com/m2bcd4bbb | 12:33 |

| jrib | error404notfound: I could be wrong about df caring whether or not you are root | 12:33 |
| error404notfound | jrib: but system is getting hell slow.. | 12:34 |
| jrib | error404notfound: change the amount reserved if you need the space? | 12:34 |
| error404notfound | jrib: how? | 12:35 |
| jrib | error404notfound: with tune2fs as dr_willis said | 12:35 |

| jakewins | Hey. I'm trying to zip a folder using "zip -r foo foo" | 12:50 |
| pepperjack | mashman: im trying to think of any minimal install meta packages that will work for you.. | 12:50 |
| jakewins | The problem is the archive contains the folder. ie foo.zip/foo/goodstuff | 12:50 |
| mashman | so i need to install ubuntu inside the windows but he's looking atleast 5gb of space of harddisk and i got only 2gb free space | 12:50 |
| jrib | jakewins: isn't that what you asked it to do? | 12:51 |
| pepperjack | anyone know the final install size of xubuntu-desktop? | 12:51 |

| AJenbo | every one points fingeres ad me for using webmin but ebox install is broaken in U8.10 | 12:51 |

| wijnand | s3r3n1t7: you need those scripts if you want to start it manually at some point | 13:24 |
| s3r3n1t7 | haaga, don't remove them, but remove the executable script. | 13:24 |
| s3r3n1t7 | wijnand, see above. | 13:24 |
| apelgate | hey | 13:24 |

| apelgate | how do I install sasl on ubuntu 6.06? | 13:24 |
| apelgate | does it exist in the package manager? | 13:24 |
| wijnand | s3r3n1t7: i'm fairly sure the best course of action is removing the symlink from the rc#.d folder | 13:25 |
| bonhoffer | any folks here know about ubuntu networking? | 13:25 |
| jrib | !anyone | bonhoffer | 13:25 |
| ubottu | bonhoffer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 13:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | wijnand, I've always just removed the executable bit from the scripts. Has worked for me so far, i don't generally disable a service i need at some point. | 13:25 |
| haaga | and here is a follow up to that question, why are there symlinks in multiple rc#.d folders? | 13:26 |
| error404notfound | s3r3n1t7: yes... coz I am running out of space on / | 13:26 |
| haaga | mysql is in like 4-5 different rc#.d | 13:26 |

| s3r3n1t7 | error404notfound, and i'd check your var and tmp folders first. | 13:27 |
| apelgate | how do I install sasl on ubuntu 6.06? Does it exist on package manager? Or how do I make a search? | 13:27 |
| hehao | #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:27 |
| haaga | that right, run levels.. nvm, answered my own question.. :) | 13:27 |
| texincali | ok when i did that it had nothing in there about selecting fglrx as the driver | 13:27 |
| wijnand | haaga: can't you edid what is and isn't started at boot in the system menus? | 13:27 |
| wijnand | haaga: that's the best way to do it | 13:27 |
| wijnand | haaga: answering it yourself | 13:28 |

| wijnand | yes | 13:28 |
| Gnea | apelgate: open a terminal and issue this: apt-cache search sasl | 13:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | error404notfound, do this => du -sh /var <= it'll say access denied a few times and show you the size of the var folder. Do the same for your /tmp and /home folder. See if they're using abnormally huge amounts of space. | 13:28 |

| bazhang | !envy | dronix texincali | 13:29 |
| ubottu | dronix texincali: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 13:29 |
| texincali | its not an nvidia card | 13:29 |
| texincali | its radeon | 13:29 |
| gartral | bazhang: lsusb hand when i run it | 13:29 |
| gartral | hangs* | 13:29 |
| wijnand | haaga: good stuff | 13:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | wijnand, yes, but i'd rather avoid using sudo whenever i can. Small typo's can lead to big mistakes. | 13:30 |
| wijnand | true, but those make life fun ;) | 13:30 |
| dronix | texincali: its for both nvidia and ati cards | 13:30 |
| alf | Why would attaching a blank SATA drive cause Ubuntu to not boot? | 13:30 |
| Exilant | gartral: are you sure the usb device works? | 13:30 |
| wijnand | besides, du is far more accurate if you sudo it, but anyway | 13:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | wijnand, not when you're trying to fix an issue. The size is exactly the same for me (just checked) | 13:31 |

| texincali | only hardy | 13:32 |

| danbhfive_jaunt1 | Bisch1: maybe try ubuntu-eee? It has better docs than easy-peasy, IMHO | 13:42 |
| dronix | gartral: then: modprobe -v ehci_hcd | 13:42 |

| gartral | i mean reset the deamon that looks at them, and flush out anything that could gob it up... i have a massive daisy chain for my monitor... | 13:43 |
| ivve | I managed to remove NetworkManager from the panel | 13:43 |
| ivve | How do I get it back? | 13:43 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | Bisch1: no, easy-peasy was eeebuntu I thought | 13:43 |

| dronix | burg: ok good | 13:52 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | I don't know. I think both try to remove programs not relevant to eee, like cd burners, and add programs that are, like say ubuntu-mobile platform things, or the eee-control package | 13:52 |

| HinHin | storbeck, what does that do? | 14:02 |
| storbeck | It adds the script to the default run-level | 14:02 |
| HinHin | does it append my script into a rc? | 14:02 |
| HinHin | ah | 14:02 |
| storbeck | yes | 14:02 |
| Kimi | do any one have an answer for me ?? | 14:02 |
| HinHin | btw it needs to run in root | 14:02 |
| Kimi | i asked it in forums but got no good reply | 14:02 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI propably hardware failure imho | 14:02 |
| gartral | Barnicle: TTY is not, i repeat NOT the same as a terminal! though it links to one, it in itself is its own layer! | 14:02 |
| storbeck | It will | 14:03 |
| g4lt-lappy | why do you need a script to mount drives, that's what /etc/fstab is for | 14:03 |

| gartral | just open a new PuTTY instance and login with the new user's name | 14:03 |

| Carla | i booted into the cd then installed from ther | 14:12 |
| drhodes | Carla: did you install ubuntu on a different HD? | 14:13 |
| Carla | yes | 14:13 |
| RichardWolfVI | marcusdavidus: Modprobe initializes de modules, right? | 14:13 |
| marcusdavidus | Carla: so u need to setup boot from that hdd | 14:13 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI: yes | 14:13 |
| drhodes | Carla: ok, in the bios | 14:13 |
| Carla | yes | 14:13 |

| drhodes | Carla: like marcusdavidus says, switch the boot order of your HD's | 14:13 |
| RichardWolfVI | marcusdavidus: Then I guess they're working now, what's the next step? | 14:13 |
| Carla | ok ill giv it a go thanks | 14:14 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI: just : sensors in console | 14:14 |
| marcusdavidus | gartral: there is no such thing like defragmentating linux filesystems | 14:14 |

| ikankecil | but ddcprobe doesn’t list any monitorranges | 14:39 |

| mib_gsc223 | i know its bad, but is there a way to get around using sudo? i used to use one method on command line to bypass it for session but i forgot it. | 14:40 |
| kitche | FlimFlamMan: well then in April 2009 then | 14:40 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI: have no idea when i was got freezes was the cpu fault was damaged | 14:40 |
| ccooke | mib_gsc223: if you need to use a root shell for a session, try "sudo -s" to start a root log in shell | 14:41 |
| storbeck | mib_gsc223: sudo -i | 14:41 |
| FlimFlamMan | kitche: also, i notice there is an #ubuntu-arm - i'll look there | 14:41 |
| ccooke | mib_gsc223: (you don't need a command with that) | 14:41 |
| marcusdavidus | mib_gsc223: just edit /etc/sudoers and give no pasword | 14:41 |
| RichardWolfVI | marcusdavidus: Do you recommend a BIOS update in this case? | 14:41 |
| BigMoopies | Jeruvy, http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/010 , that worked with 'pax' | 14:42 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI: bios update is always good :P but im damn overclocker so i use to swithc bioses alot | 14:42 |
| RanyAlbeg | i have a c program and i want to trace the system calls using ptrace. any help? | 14:42 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI: are uu have freezes on windows also ? | 14:43 |
| storbeck | RanyAlbeg: You might want to ask in #c - that's not really an ubuntu-related question | 14:43 |
| RichardWolfVI | marcusdavidus: Ubuntu is my sole OS | 14:43 |
| RanyAlbeg | ok | 14:43 |
| RichardWolfVI | marcusdavidus: I just have Windows on VirtualBox | 14:43 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI: so hard to say :P | 14:44 |
| mib_gsc223 | storbeck: sudo -i worked (pssibly -s but didnt try). thanks! | 14:44 |
| gartral | so.. how do i add metadata too tracks of an "unknown" cd in Banshee? | 14:44 |
| ccooke | mib_gsc223: checking the manual, sudo -i is 'better' than -s. | 14:44 |
| marcusdavidus | RichardWolfVI: install conky so u can monitor temperatures on the fly on desktop | 14:45 |
| ccooke | mib_gsc223: so you're better off that way, too :-) | 14:45 |
| marcusdavidus | maybe cpu temp go to hight and then he freeze when u use lot cpu time | 14:45 |
| storbeck | No problem mib_gsc223 | 14:45 |

| Akkernight_ | is there drivers for realtek or what ever that type of sound card is called? | 14:54 |
| bazhang | marcusdavidus, disable that script | 14:54 |
| glitsj16 | krzd: i see .... that was my 2 cents contribution i'm afraid, i'd try to rule out subwoofer hardware failure first by hooking it up to another system/OS | 14:54 |
| marcusdavidus | bazhang: this is not script i just type that | 14:55 |
| marcusdavidus | ^^ | 14:55 |
| garme | marcusdavidus, but do you what is the software for this? udev? hotplug? | 14:55 |

| marcusdavidus | garme lspci* | 14:56 |
| Akkernight_ | marcusdavidus, I do, I just guessed it'd be better if I used specific drivers for my sound card, instead of some ALSA or Intel sound | 14:56 |
| garme | just this? | 14:56 |
| krzd | glitsj16, it works on windows and because of the upmix: if i unplug the subwoofer cable i can hear the subwoofer, so it lays on pulseaudio | 14:56 |
| marcusdavidus | Akkernight_: run sudo alsaconf | 14:56 |
| marcusdavidus | garme: it shows most of devices | 14:57 |
| RichardWolfVI | Akkernight_: Free drivers tend to behave better than proprietary ones. Only exception may be the graphics ones in some cases. | 14:57 |
| marcusdavidus | zamba: i doubt is posible | 14:57 |
| Akkernight_ | ok thanks | 14:58 |

| RichardWolfVI | rmrfslash: It'd good to compare, if you get the same performance, you dhould make use of hardware support. | 15:16 |
| Faithful | got a wierd problem... one of my internal notebook spekers is muted and when you press mute in alsamixer is swaps to the other speaker | 15:16 |
| rmrfslash | What do you want me to say to that. Ubuntu is an OS, I installed it. | 15:16 |
| gartral | g4lt-lappy: no, to be able to differentiate between a real flood and someone who doesnt know the difference between enter and the period | 15:16 |
| Exilant | slerder, afaik not, but details might depend on gnome/kde/whatever settings | 15:16 |
| Faithful | rmrfslash, Ubuntu is a distribution | 15:17 |
| marcusdavidus | slerder: if u dont setup sudo no passwrd is no way | 15:17 |
| marcusdavidus | slerder: it can only delete things form your home not from system | 15:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | !virus | slerder | 15:17 |
| ubottu | slerder: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 15:17 |
| cousteau | how can I set resolution to 1280x1024? xubuntu intrepid + intel i740 + pentium ii | 15:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | slerder, that link has all the info on why not to worry. | 15:17 |
| Akkernight_ | what was the IRC channel for Wine? | 15:17 |
| marcusdavidus | !rkhunter | 15:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rkhunter | 15:18 |
| krzd | glitsj16, it doesn't work anyway | 15:18 |
| gartral | does anyone have a Microdia Clas Ohlson TWC-30XOP WebCam, i need a configuration program | 15:18 |
| cousteau | Akkernight_, #winehq | 15:18 |
| marko-_-- | Akkernight_, #winehq | 15:18 |
| glitsj16 | krzd: too bad, running out of ideas i'm afraid | 15:18 |
| g4lt-lappy | gartral, and nuke the guys that don't know the difference between CR and punctuation sooner? seconded! | 15:18 |

| ubottu | gartral: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 15:19 |
| slerder | marcusdavidus, what does that mean? I inserted the flash drive myself.. and nothing shoowed up on the screen, nothing asking for authorization.. and there were no suspicious files on the drive (no hidden either) and then i ran rkhunter, and everything seemed fine. I just wanted to know if this was a possible threat or not.. could someone potentially setup a us flahs drive for it to autorun malicious files on a malicious box with or without user intervent | 15:19 |
| slerder | iojn.. thanks | 15:19 |
| s3r3n1t7 | g4lt-lappy, my 2 cents on that | 15:19 |
| burg | i installed ubuntu (aproximately), but when the grub was installing, that window just dissapeared. now i think is installed, but i can`t open it (i have windows xp installed too) | 15:19 |
| burg | can i add a grub now? | 15:19 |
| gartral | g4lt-lappy: why do you call Enter CR? | 15:19 |
| g4lt-lappy | gartral, CR? carriage return, from the IBM selectrics, which I learned to type on | 15:20 |
| cousteau | burg: you can try the SuperGrub Disk | 15:20 |
| Zzeiss | I let one of the system manglers try to set up my laptop so that the KVM vm of Fedora could access the Internet; he set up a "bridge" that never worked. We reset the /etc/network/interfaces file back to what it was before, but now my wired network (eth0) won't reconnect unless I do a "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart". What else might he have buggered? | 15:20 |
| Zzeiss | and moreover, what can I do to fix it? | 15:21 |
| mrthraz | is it possible to upgrade back a version? | 15:21 |
| Jeruvy | Zzeiss: you should ask in #fedora :) | 15:21 |
| LjL | !downgrade | mrthraz | 15:22 |
| ubottu | mrthraz: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 15:22 |
| Zzeiss | Jeruvy: Oh, he didn't bugger Fedora. he buggered the Ubuntu. :( Which is what I mainly boot.... | 15:22 |
| RichardWolfVI | Plus, I'm known that XPS laptop aren't much of power efficient. | 15:22 |
| RichardWolfVI | *laptops | 15:22 |
| RichardWolfVI | slerder: Not likely, why? | 15:22 |
| RichardWolfVI | Faithful: Check you're using the correct devices on your sound settings. | 15:22 |
| RichardWolfVI | cousteau: Pretty old configuration, maybe the resolution is not supported. | 15:22 |
| FloodBot1 | RichardWolfVI: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:22 |
| mrthraz | damn | 15:22 |
| gartral | Gnea: my camera works, kind of, i need a configurateion program | 15:22 |
| Zzeiss | So, if you were going to install a KVM bridge device - what files would you bugger? :) | 15:23 |
| slerder | richardwolfVI so youre saying it is possible? | 15:23 |
| JessyBaby | what is the off topic ubuntu channel? | 15:24 |
| gartral | JessyBaby: #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:24 |
| mrthraz | I upgraded to 8.10 in ubuntu studio and now jack craches cause the kernel it can't handle both cores | 15:24 |
| hawkx | is it possible to remove the icons in the gnome Panel in the pulldown Menüs | 15:24 |
| marcel1607 | anyone here use the XFS filesystem? | 15:25 |
| mrthraz | so I'm stuck with it being like this | 15:25 |
| burg | cousteau: can that mess all my information on my hard? or is it safe? | 15:25 |
| RichardWolfVI | mrthraz: It'd be easier to just delete the partition and intall over, why do you want to downgrade anyway? | 15:25 |
| RichardWolfVI | *install | 15:25 |
| gartral | i need a program to configure my camera... | 15:25 |
| marcel1607 | RichardWolfVI, format the partition, not delete it? | 15:25 |
| Jeruvy | mrthraz: I'd agree with RichardWolfVI, backup your files and start over. | 15:25 |
| rmrfslash | I don't think there's xfs on ubuntu (rather the gnu counterpart btrfs), but I hear XFS is cool. | 15:25 |
| cousteau | burg: never tried it, gut it shouldn't | 15:25 |
| cousteau | *but | 15:25 |
| marcel1607 | rmrfslash, you cant choose it on installation? | 15:26 |
| Gnea | gartral: try camorama | 15:26 |
| gartral | gnea, again, that doesnt help me configure my camera | 15:26 |
| mrthraz | RichardWolfVI:I upgraded to 8.10 in ubuntu studio and now jack craches cause the kernel it can't handle both cores | 15:26 |
| X-Factor | or easycam2 | 15:26 |
| rmrfslash | marcel1607: don't think so, it's rather new, it'll be on OS X but I think there are licensing issues that prevent it from going on Ubuntu(?) | 15:26 |
| marcusdavidus | rmrfslash: reiserfs is best for destko[ | 15:26 |
| rmrfslash | marcusdavidus: Reiser is also a nutjob | 15:27 |
| marcel1607 | rmrfslash, dont you mean zfs here? | 15:27 |
| pafufta503 | hello, i wonder if someone might be able to help me with a problem | 15:27 |
| Gnea | gartral: again? you didn't say that it didn't in the first place, specifically. tried cheese? | 15:27 |
| rmrfslash | marcel1607: yup.... I do. | 15:27 |
| mrthraz | RichardWolfVI: too many files this is a production machien | 15:27 |
| marcusdavidus | rmrfslash: sorry i do not know this word im not native what mean nutjob ? | 15:27 |
| marcel1607 | rmrfslash, i was talking about xfs | 15:27 |
| marcel1607 | XFS is a journaled 64-bit file system created by SGI. | 15:27 |
| rmrfslash | marcel1607: yeah, I've never used xfs | 15:27 |
| pafufta503 | is there a room on this server for the ubuntu forums? | 15:27 |
| rmrfslash | marcel1607: I'm having trouble reading today ;) | 15:28 |
| bazhang | pafufta503, #ubuntuforums | 15:28 |
| pafufta503 | thank you | 15:28 |

| marcusdavidus | !nutjob | 15:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nutjob | 15:28 |
| marcel1607 | so thats why i'm going for xfs | 15:28 |
| marcusdavidus | what is this nutjob | 15:28 |
| bazhang | its offtopic | 15:28 |
| gartral | Gnea: heese wont initlise this camora, and camorama doesnt belive it is a camera | 15:28 |
| mrthraz | can't use xfs with grub | 15:28 |
| rmrfslash | marcusdavidus: Didn't Reiser kill his wife or something? | 15:28 |
| Gnea | gartral: v4l-conf *might* do it, if your camera is v4l-compatible | 15:29 |
| marcel1607 | mrthraz, why? | 15:29 |
| bazhang | !ot | rmrfslash | 15:29 |
| gartral | ohh, wait, it just took forever | 15:29 |
| ubottu | rmrfslash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 15:29 |
| mrthraz | have to use lilo as you boot | 15:29 |
| X-Factor | gartral: tried easycam2 already? | 15:29 |
| marcusdavidus | marcel1607: xfs is good for alot of small files is fast like jfs but is slower if comes to big files | 15:29 |
| mrthraz | don't know | 15:29 |
| marcel1607 | marcusdavidus, i've seen benchmarks on phoronix.com that show otherwise | 15:29 |
| marcusdavidus | rmrfslash: yes he do but this is nothing aboute reiserfs | 15:29 |
| mrthraz | but it would only install with lilo | 15:29 |
| marcel1607 | mrthraz, with intrepid? | 15:30 |
| Gnea | gartral: also, make sure you're part of the video group | 15:30 |
| marcusdavidus | marcel1607: so maybe im wrong srry anyway i use reiserfs becouse never got data lost on this and have few bad problems with ext3 | 15:30 |
| marcel1607 | marcusdavidus, i see but reiserfs is no longer maintained | 15:30 |
| mrthraz | it was a hardy install I used xfs with | 15:30 |
| marcusdavidus | marcel1607: rly ?? so bad | 15:31 |
| stabuck33 | hi all, could somebody help me with my new harddisk? its an sata but "fdisk -l" shows it as /dev/hdd | 15:31 |
| mrthraz | don't know about janty | 15:31 |
| marcel1607 | mrthraz, i'm trying virtualbox install with xfs | 15:31 |
| mrthraz | cool | 15:31 |
| mrthraz | what's the prob | 15:31 |
| marcel1607 | marcusdavidus, you should maybe consider some other fs in the future, because hans reiser is in prison | 15:31 |
| rmrfslash | Ok, so anyways.... I may try to install this ubuntu-laptop-mode thing, though I'm not sure how it works but it apparently allows the hard disk to "spin down for longer periods of time" | 15:32 |
| gartral | Gnea: /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support | 15:32 |
| marcusdavidus | marcel1607: yes but ppl who make reiser 4 are not in rpison | 15:32 |
| marcusdavidus | prison* | 15:32 |
| marcel1607 | marcusdavidus, i thought is was stripped out of the kernel | 15:32 |
| different | i have windows installed on c drive and i want to install ubuntu on c drive i also want to keep windows recovery but i am worried that later on when i do the recovery my ubuntu will be lost | 15:33 |
| marcusdavidus | marcel1607: Andrew Morton actually maintain reiser4 | 15:33 |
| Gnea | gartral: what's the make/model on that camera again? | 15:33 |
| marcusdavidus | different: u want install ubuntu on windows partition ?? lol | 15:34 |
| marcel1607 | marcusdavidus, so it is still in kernel 2.6.29? | 15:34 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | different: the recovery is usually just a hidden partition. Just make sure to leave that partition alone when partitioning | 15:34 |
| marcusdavidus | marcel1607: i have no idea | 15:34 |
| different | marcusdavidus: yes | 15:34 |
| Jeruvy | !wubi | different | 15:34 |

| locainex_ | yes Bob_Dole lol | 15:46 |
| locainex_ | a very pretty one too | 15:47 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | different: yeah, so if your recovery can be invoked from the bios (ie, the first screen that shows up when you boot), then your recovery is just a hidden partition. I would suggest these steps. Defrag your windows drive. Boot the livecd, and shrink the windows partition. Create a new partition (at least 20g), format as ext3 and a mount point of / Then click continue. You should be ok. | 15:47 |

| gartral | Gnea: i tell you... the camera works... i just want to fidle with the output... heres lsmod http://gar.pastebin.com/d4c6b2891 | 15:50 |
| virtx | how can i add debian-multimedia ? | 15:50 |
| Scunizi | hatter243: tried that and with wget it times out with 404 | 15:50 |
| virtx | verifying the gpg | 15:50 |
| Bob_Dole | /etc/apt/ is a directory, sources.list is a file in that directory, if you were the one asking.. so you'd find /etc/apt/sources.list in /etc/apt/ | 15:51 |
| hatter243 | Scunizi, it means there's nothing at that URL. Are you certain you're copying the link properly? | 15:51 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | virtx: I think its the same as with debian. and the usual warnings about cross repositories apply | 15:51 |
| gartral | gnea and i havent used the command you gave me either, should i? | 15:51 |
| virtx | danbhfive_jaunt1, no it is not the same, on debian.multimedia there is darkice-full | 15:51 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | different: I'd start with a dual boot first. Just to be safe. | 15:51 |
| krzd | glitsj16, but it's funny, if i have a sound file with true 5.1, so with a subwoofer ouztput channel it works, so it seams that i have to set the upmix for the subwoofer manually on | 15:51 |
| Scunizi | hatter243: copy link, paste .. pretty easy.. however there is a gotcha, there's a bunch of files there all ending in .doc that I want to grab so I've been trying to use a wildcard with wget | 15:52 |
| elli222 | hello | 15:52 |
| Gnea | gartral: what command did I give you? | 15:52 |
| gartral | gnea sudo modprobe v4l | 15:52 |
| Kissaki | My sound stopped working, so I restarted dbus. Sound didn't start working, rest was ok. After rebooting I could no longer use mouse or keyboard on the gnome login, but I can still use one of the other consoles (switching with strg+alt+F6). How do I fix/reconfigure/reinstall gnome/xserver or whatever does cause this? | 15:52 |
| different | danbhfive_jaunt1: i have installed ubuntu already but i want to ask when i will be doing recovery will the windows will be installed on c drive or not | 15:52 |
| Gnea | gartral: no, don't bother with that one. is the camera built-in or is it usb? | 15:52 |
| gartral | gnea USB | 15:53 |
| hatter243 | Scunizi, I'm 95% certain that wildcard wget doesn't work. You need to list all the files in wget. You can wget -r on an html file and it will recursively download all the links... | 15:53 |
| krzd | glitsj16, changed and guess what: it works, so it seems that in the new version lfe remixing is disabled by default | 15:53 |
| Scunizi | hatter243: so basically wget http://<path to files>/*.doc and I get 404 not found | 15:53 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | virtx: I think you could try just using debian-multimedia on ubuntu | 15:53 |
| gartral | gnea im on an ancient desktop | 15:53 |
| krzd | glitsj16, however: thx fo the nice support ;-) | 15:53 |
| danbhfive_jaunt1 | different: no, AFAIK, it will delete ubuntu | 15:53 |
| Scunizi | hatter243: that might be worth a shot. | 15:53 |
| krzd | bye | 15:53 |
| hatter243 | Scunizi, wget has no way of getting the list of links from the server with a wildcard. So it literally asks the server for a file named "*.doc" which does not exist | 15:53 |
| Gnea | gartral: how 'ancient'? | 15:54 |
| different | danbhfive_jaunt1: thanks | 15:54 |

| gartral | Gnea: quite emidiatly, i might add | 15:56 |
| Gnea | gartral: that means it's working right :) | 15:56 |
| hatter243 | Scunizi, I bet that the server has indexes disabled on the folder. This means wget cannot retrieve the list of links | 15:56 |

| syph___ | you can dual boot even if linux is installed first | 16:38 |
| en1gma | i think windows7 stores partition information normally where grub would | 16:38 |
| Matson_ | I'm looking at buying a Sun Fire X4150 | 16:38 |
| Matson_ | how can I find out about ubuntu support for this hardware | 16:38 |
| grrrrr | hmm hmm | 16:38 |
| syph___ | www.google.com | 16:38 |
| Jeruvy | !hcl | Matson_ | 16:38 |
| ubottu | Matson_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 16:38 |
| RichardWolfVI | Some early builds of Win 7 had a bug with the boot manager, but everything seem solved in the latest. | 16:38 |
| syph___ | matson ^^ | 16:38 |
| grrrrr | try linux + x4150 google | 16:38 |
| LjL | syph___: that's not particularly helpful | 16:38 |
| === pete_ is now known as Guest52966 | ||
| Gnea | gartral: sorry, I don't have the time to do that right now | 16:39 |
| Matson_ | Jeruvy: ubottu syph___ thanks! | 16:39 |
| en1gma | RichardWolfVI ah yea it was a while back when i read about there being a problem...i currently am just using the official ms beta | 16:39 |
| syph___ | ;) | 16:39 |
| gartral | gnea but my camera is in an even more broken state than before! | 16:39 |
| drguildo | is it just me or is there no klondike available in aisleriot? | 16:39 |
| syph___ | LjL: how is that not helpful? lol but you're right, should have been more specific | 16:39 |
| LjL | syph___: just pointing to google is not really helpful. | 16:40 |
| mado | hello there guys and gals | 16:40 |
| [T]ank | does anyone know if virtual box offers anything similar to the full screen or quick switch modes like what vmware has. Also is there any way to make it so that I dont have to release my courser every time I want to move from my vm to my host? similar to the vmwaretools in vmware? | 16:40 |
| syph___ | Meh, it was impulse | 16:40 |
| mado | /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5 ... i don't have access to these two partitions on this computer ... can you help me with that? -> http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/693 | 16:40 |
| RichardWolfVI | [T]ank: Install the OS addons | 16:40 |
| [T]ank | ok, thank you | 16:41 |
| Gnea | gartral: well, I'm sorry, but no, I can't setup a mirror for a single file that you can easily take the time to setup an account to get | 16:41 |
| Matson_ | what does lts mean in "Ubuntu 8.04LTS" | 16:41 |
| prince_jammys | !lts | Matson_ | 16:41 |
| Gnea | gartral: I have more important things that I'm working on | 16:41 |
| ubottu | Matson_: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 16:41 |
| glitsj16 | grrrrr: if you use gdm, that has a /etc/gdm/PostLogin folder where you can add scripts to that run ... post user login (there's a default.sample in there with some comments) | 16:41 |
| [T]ank | RichardWolfVI: looking in the aptitude list, I do not see addons. there is however ose-guest-utils, is that the same? | 16:41 |
| grrrrr | glitsj16: i dont | 16:42 |
| prince_jammys | [T]ank: yes, get that | 16:42 |
| mado | any ideas? | 16:42 |
| grrrrr | it needs to work at ssh logins | 16:42 |
| unko | hey guys...know how with compiz i can make all my windows transparent? can i make a certain window not transparent AKA firefox | 16:42 |
| [T]ank | prince_jammys: thank you, done. | 16:42 |
| grrrrr | also , it wpould be nice if it was shell agonostic | 16:42 |
| [T]ank | restarting | 16:42 |
| glitsj16 | grrrrr: i see, *shredding former remark accordingly* | 16:42 |
| grrrrr | unko: yes | 16:42 |
| grrrrr | unko: you can set trans per window | 16:43 |
| RichardWolfVI | [T]ank: You can install them from the Vbox itself, but I guess they're the same | 16:43 |
| Matson_ | I have never managed a 64 bit system. When they first came out, there were many compatibility issues with some packages not working on 64bit. is this still an major issue, or have pretty much all the popular packages now been ported to work on 64bit? | 16:43 |
| IdentifyTarget | I can't get ubuntu minimal to shutdown. user% shutdown -H now brings me to a screen that says System Halted it doesn't actually cut power. shutdown now brings me to a menu offering me boot options. How do I turn OFF the computer? | 16:43 |
| unko | grrrrr, how? do i set firefox as no transparentcy | 16:43 |
| gartral | Gnea: http://v4l2ucp.sourceforge.net/ <- this is all i needed. the camera worked before, now it soesnt, how do i undo whatever it was you had me do that broke it? | 16:43 |
| grrrrr | Matson_: you have issues with properitory crap wanted to use the 32 bits libs | 16:43 |
| RichardWolfVI | Matson_: 64-bit has become mature enough, but there are some compatibility issues, if you just want to use more RAM, use the server kernel. | 16:44 |
| LjL | IdentifyTarget: have you installed any new peripherals since that started happening? | 16:44 |
| IdentifyTarget | no | 16:44 |
| grrrrr | unko: using the fusion-icon thingie or similar,, | 16:44 |
| oCean_ | mado: what do you mean 'no access' - are they not mounted, or can't your write to them? | 16:44 |
| IdentifyTarget | It has been that way since fresh install | 16:44 |
| grrrrr | or perhabs gconfeditor thingie | 16:44 |
| grrrrr | i just know that its possible | 16:44 |
| mado | oCean_, i can't open them in "/media/***" for example :) | 16:44 |
| unko | grrrrr, no i mean i want all my other windows transparent but i don' want irefox to be | 16:44 |
| oCean_ | mado: besides that - there is also a /dev/sda1 (ntfs) partition. You can access that one? | 16:44 |
| Xerran | Hola | 16:45 |
| mado | yes | 16:45 |
| mado | that one is ok oCean_ | 16:45 |
| grrrrr | unko: as i said, you can set transparensy high or low ,, PER windows / application | 16:45 |
| grrrrr | ive done it | 16:45 |
| grrrrr | but long time ago | 16:45 |
| mado | oCean_, ok ... here's the things i've done so far ... | 16:45 |
| unko | oh yeah! holy nips i remember now! | 16:45 |
| grrrrr | window not windows | 16:45 |
| Matson_ | RichardWolfVI: with 8G of ram, I think I will have to use the server kernel | 16:45 |
| ViaNocturna | Hey everyone | 16:45 |
| mado | i installed windows xp on this computer ... then i installed linux ... oCean_ ... | 16:45 |
| unko | gr i got it | 16:46 |
| unko | grrrrr, i got it | 16:46 |
| mado | after that i had to format /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5 again ... to ntfs ... oCean_ | 16:46 |
| voice5sur5 | mado you betrayed us | 16:46 |
| RichardWolfVI | Matson_: Do it, don't forget to install also linux-restricted and linux-backports, just in case | 16:46 |
| mado | what voice5sur5 ? | 16:46 |
| mado | why? voice5sur5 ? | 16:46 |
| [T]ank | now... what is the best client out there for imap email? I notice that the more email i get in thunderbird the slower it goes. What else is out there? | 16:46 |
| oCean_ | mado: ok. What is it that does not work? | 16:46 |
| voice5sur5 | win xp :) | 16:46 |
| Gnea | gartral: just reboot | 16:46 |
| IdentifyTarget | LjL: any more ideas? | 16:46 |
| LjL | IdentifyTarget: try 1) adding "acpi=force" to your kernel options 2) unloading all sound-related modules before shutting down (lsmod | grep snd should show them) | 16:47 |
| mado | voice5sur5, i have to use it ... it isn't my idea ... | 16:47 |
| RichardWolfVI | [T]ank: I use Opera | 16:47 |
| mado | my professor uses programs that don't work on linux | 16:47 |
| oCean_ | mado: They are not mounted when you boot? Are you sure the /media/windows_eigene_dateien and the other directory exists? | 16:47 |
| IdentifyTarget | ok I'll try that. How do I add acpi=force to my kernel options? | 16:47 |
| gRunt | What is the terminal command to remove a program? | 16:47 |
| voice5sur5 | did you tried crossover pro? Mado | 16:47 |
| voice5sur5 | gRunt, | 16:47 |
| IdentifyTarget | LjL: would that help with hibernate/resume which doesn't work either | 16:47 |
| Matson_ | RichardWolfVI: I use backports now on a debian system. what is linux-restricted ? | 16:47 |
| mado | no ... not yet :) voice5sur5 we can talk about that later ... ok? ... | 16:47 |
| RichardWolfVI | gRunt: sudo apt-get remove <package> | 16:47 |
| voice5sur5 | sudo apt-get remove your_program | 16:48 |
| mado | let me first try to get them working | 16:48 |
| mado | well ... i did the same thing on my laptop and just altered /etc/fstab | 16:48 |
| oCean_ | voice5sur5: this is not the channel for such a discussion (regarding xp) | 16:48 |
| LjL | IdentifyTarget: you can try it one-off by hitting "e" in your GRUB menu, then "e" again, then adding it to the longest line you see, then hitting "b" to boot -- or you may change that permanently by adding it to /boot/grub/menu.lst (but don't do that right away) | 16:48 |
| LjL | IdentifyTarget: it might | 16:48 |
| [T]ank | RichardWolfVI: They have a mail client too? or is it just a browser addon. What would be nice is if Evolution worked with the latest msexchange. I would use that instead of imap. | 16:48 |
| Floops[w] | what command do you use to set root active ... so you can login with root username/pass | 16:48 |
| IdentifyTarget | ok thanks I'll give that a try | 16:48 |
| LjL | !root | Floops[w] | 16:48 |
| ubottu | Floops[w]: 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 | 16:48 |
| Gnea | gartral: btw, nothing broke, I just had you remove an offending module, temporarily, and then you proceeded to whine at me about how you're too lazy to make your own account and do your own work. well, good luck with that control panel. | 16:48 |
| RichardWolfVI | Matson_: linux-restricted-modules is a package for kernel modules which are not included by default | 16:48 |
| gRunt | thanks RichardWolfVI and voice5sur5 for some reason handbrake just constantly crashes when I try and convert but it never throws an error in activity.log so im hoping a reinstall will fix it. | 16:48 |
| voice5sur5 | FloodBot1, do you have gnome? | 16:48 |
| RichardWolfVI | [T]ank: It's buil-in | 16:49 |
| mado | so ... they're here in /media/ oCean_ | 16:49 |
| Floops[w] | thanks LjL | 16:49 |
| unko | hey another question... can i put sound effects on my windows? aka minimize and maximize and close? | 16:49 |
| gartral | gnea, i wasnt whining, my computer is slow.. im very sorry if it came off like that >.> | 16:49 |
| oCean_ | mado: ok. So the directories exists (the mountpoints that is) | 16:49 |
| oCean_ | mado: What does not work? | 16:49 |
| gartral | gnea i honestly did not mean to offend you | 16:49 |
| RichardWolfVI | [T]ank: Opera is more than just a browser. | 16:50 |
| mado | yes ... ... well ... i need to copy files to these partitions ... and i wanted to see if i can find them when using windows oCean_ | 16:50 |
| Xerran | anyone have Ubunto 8.10 x64 working with SoundBlaster X-Fi? | 16:50 |
| Matson_ | If I'm running on a T4150 on 8.04LTS which is listed as "certified" - will I need to muck with building a custom kernel and Linux-Restricted-Modules ? | 16:50 |
| Xerran | Ubuntu | 16:50 |
| Matson_ | listed here: http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/sun | 16:50 |
| LjL | Xerran: i don't think X-Fi is currently supported | 16:51 |
| RichardWolfVI | Matson_: Nope, just use the package manager | 16:51 |
| errreror | how can i watch the running processes in the terminal | 16:51 |
| Xerran | really? | 16:51 |
| LjL | errreror: "top" | 16:51 |
| errreror | LjL: thx | 16:51 |
| oCean_ | mado: I'm still lost. Your question is how to see the partitions in Windows? *not* in Linux? | 16:51 |
| gartral | gnea and i wasn't trying to ask you to make a mirror, i was asking if you possibly knew of one | 16:51 |
| Gnea | gartral: well, I was trying to help you onto the right path. clearly, you think that I led you down the wrong path. well, that is fine. maybe I am wrong and that third-party software will do what you envision it to do. but, I suppose that, based on all of the bug reports and other ubuntu forum posts of people who've used the software and know what they're talking about doesn't matter at all. no offense taken. | 16:52 |
| Gnea | gartral: no, I don't know of a mirror for it. | 16:52 |
| mado | no ... oCean_ | 16:52 |
| mado | i want to write and delete and read files on these partitions | 16:52 |
| LjL | Xerran: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/63352 | 16:52 |
| magnetron | Matson_→ i'm quoting now: "As well as community discussion about installation, customers with support contracts can use their Canonical engineer to help with any configuration and installation queries." | 16:53 |
| mado | i want to have access to them ... right on from start-up | 16:53 |
| eseven_ | is there a way to force apt to ignore the a missing GPG key? | 16:53 |
| mado | oCean_, | 16:53 |
| RichardWolfVI | mado: You want to access ext2/3 partitions on Windows? | 16:53 |
| gartral | gnea, the camera worked, i lighting looked dim, but it worked, i just needed a way to configure it, if you think that replacing the module is a better way, than ok | 16:53 |
| Matson_ | thanks | 16:53 |
| oCean_ | mado: First question. When you do "df -k" (in terminal) can you see the partitions? | 16:53 |
| Xerran | Thank you LjL | 16:53 |
| oCean_ | mado: that is to make sure they are mounted. If you can't see them, then the partitions aren't even mounted. | 16:54 |
| gartral | gnea and i do appreciate the help, quite a bit | 16:54 |
| RichardWolfVI | mado: Google is your friend: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 16:54 |
| [T]ank | does opera have an apt-get package? I tried installing the ubuntu .deb file from the site and it says its corrupt. | 16:55 |
| Mikey | Heya All | 16:55 |
| Slart | !opera | 16:55 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 16:55 |
| mado | just a sec oCean_ | 16:55 |
| RichardWolfVI | [T]ank: nope, it was retired, try a different mirror | 16:55 |
| LjL | [T]ank: no it doesn't, as it's a proprietary app. maybe you just failed to download the package, and you could just try again? | 16:55 |
| Gnea | gartral: I thought that you may get a better degree of options to control the camera with by replacing the module. but hey, glad it's working | 16:55 |
| Mikey | I want to stop gdm from starting in a particular runlevel, even after renaming the script in rc4.d, gdm starts | 16:56 |
| Mikey | How do I disable X and gdm for runlevel 4 ? | 16:56 |
| gartral | Gnea: no, after i did one of the commands, it does NOT work, at all... | 16:56 |
| RichardWolfVI | LjL: It isn't in the repos not because it's proprietary, it was til version 9.27 | 16:56 |
| mado | oCean_, ... now here's a funny thing ... | 16:56 |
| === maxy is now known as Guest20967 | ||
| mado | i now seem to have access to ... | 16:56 |
| LjL | RichardWolfVI: it was in Canoncal's partner repos, not in the Ubuntu repos | 16:56 |
| mado | /dev/sdb5 ... | 16:56 |
| sammy | Mikey: is runlevel 4 multiuser but you don't want gdm to start? | 16:56 |
| Gnea | gartral: hrm... have you tried unplugging then plugging the camera back in, then running the app again? | 16:57 |
| mado | but there is no /dev/sda5 ... | 16:57 |
| Mikey | sammy: yes | 16:57 |
| mado | oCean_, | 16:57 |
| Matson_ | magnetron: RichardWolfVI: grrrrr: thanks all for the help! | 16:57 |
| Guest20967 | kann hier jemand auch deutsch?? | 16:57 |
| LjL | !de | Guest20967 | 16:57 |
| ubottu | Guest20967: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 16:57 |
| sammy | Mikey: isn't there a run level that's multiuser but doesn't start gdm already? if there isn't there should be. :) | 16:57 |
| Mikey | sammy: I guess some other script in /etc/init.d starts gdm | 16:57 |
| oCean_ | mado: yeah, well... you still did not answer my question. I still don't know what you mean by 'access to' and you did not tell if the partitions were mounted or not | 16:57 |
| gartral | gnea yes i tryed that a few minutes ago, still broken | 16:57 |
| === gunblade is now known as GunbladeIV | ||
| Mikey | sammy: Ubuntu starts gdm in all runlevels by default:) | 16:58 |
| sammy | Mikey: oh wow, all but single user? wow. so your choices are single user or graphical, that seems odd. | 16:58 |
| mado | oCean_, i didn't? ... ok ... looks like they are not mounted | 16:58 |
| Gnea | gartral: well, if you've got a public email account (yahoo, gmail, etc) that has a decent spam filter on it, that might be a preferable way to sign up with the ubuntu forums | 16:58 |
| Mikey | sammy: thats enough for a new user I guess | 16:58 |
| mado | oCean_, sorry ;) | 16:58 |
| RichardWolfVI | Which character encoding does the channel use? | 16:59 |
| Mikey | sammy: they also have that bulletproof X, so X will start anyway | 16:59 |
| the_dark_warrio | I plug a secondary display on my laptop, go to System > Preferences > Screen Resolution and press the Detect Displays button, but nothing happens. Any tips? | 16:59 |
| Mikey | I guess ubuntu-server starts multiuser with no gdm | 16:59 |
| genii | Mikey: Thats correct | 16:59 |
| Mikey | genii: how do I do that in ubuntu-desktop, I use 8.04.2 | 17:00 |
| eighty7 | Good Evening Community | 17:00 |
| bakarat | is there a dbus viewer available? | 17:00 |
| gartral | gnea i know how to, but evolution take 24 minutes too load... i have timed it... and the gmail web client crashes firefox galeon and konquer | 17:00 |
| genii | Mikey: You want to not start gdm? | 17:00 |
| Guest9497 | which package do I need to install to get the "burn" effect in compiz-fusion? | 17:00 |
| Mikey | genii: I want to have one runlevel without X and all unwanted services, just start syslog | 17:01 |
| Gnea | gartral: that's.. not right. gmail has never crashed my firefox. | 17:01 |
| gRunt | Hi all I think I am having trouble reading and writing to a mounted ntfs drive I have is there any way to confirm this? | 17:01 |
| roy_hobbs | any suggestions of a video chat program? I'd like a direct connection so I can go over SSH, but if the service offers encryption, that'll be fine. | 17:01 |
| dug__ | !NetworkManager | 17:01 |
| ubottu | networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 17:01 |
| RichardWolfVI | Guest9497: It's already there, look for the extra effects in compizconfig | 17:01 |
| gartral | gnea non of my computers work "as expected" | 17:01 |
| genii | Mikey: If so, use update-rc.d to disable running of X/gdm whatever other services you don't want. man update-rc.d is fairly informative | 17:01 |
| Gnea | gartral: btw, I recommend thunderbird over evolution - also, having a lot of email will make your client load slower, you may want to look into archiving | 17:01 |
| RichardWolfVI | roy_hobbs: The only good I know is Skype. | 17:01 |
| Mikey | genii: thanks genii, will check it out | 17:02 |
| gartral | gnea, i have less than 200 emails i keep, and i hate thunderbird with a passion | 17:02 |
| genii | Mikey: You're welcome | 17:02 |
| roy_hobbs | RichardWolfVI: Yeah, unfortunately same here. I'm looking for something with a little better guaranteed privacy. | 17:02 |

| dug__ | dbus-1 file i mean | 17:03 |
| sammy | Mikey: is there a way to create your own runlevel? that sounds familiar. | 17:03 |
| gartral | gnea, who are you on the forums, ill put you as my referrer | 17:04 |
| Mikey | sammy: nope, not that I know | 17:04 |
| Mikey | sammy: nice thought though.. :) | 17:04 |
| Gnea | gartral: same name | 17:04 |
| gartral | Gnea: i like evolution, once it loads, its fast enough for me | 17:04 |
| sammy | Mikey: maybe I'm thinking gentoo's rc.d system. | 17:04 |
| Mikey | sammy: maybe.. | 17:04 |
| LogicFan | gartral, sounds like you have some serious hardware and or network issues | 17:05 |
| LogicFan | 24mins to load evolution? gmail crashing firefox? | 17:05 |
| oCean_ | mado: first you have to make sure your partitions are mounted. Open terminal and use "df -k" command to check if you can SEE /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5 in that output. | 17:05 |
| gartral | The answer given for the random question was incorrect. "what color is an orange" was the Q, i said Orange, WTF??? | 17:05 |

| LogicFan | gardar, still | 17:06 |
| bakarat | crdlb, thanks | 17:06 |
| IdentifyTarget | LjL: fixed my problem. acpi=force wasn't needed. For some reason shutdown -P isn't the default option. -P powers off the system. sudo shutdown -P now works fine | 17:06 |
| gartral | LogicFan: who is this gardar everyone reffers too? lol | 17:06 |
| LogicFan | thats just crazy. gmail has a low-bandwidth version for people on super-slow connections | 17:06 |
| LjL | IdentifyTarget: oh. weird. | 17:07 |
| IdentifyTarget | anyway to make shutdown always use -P? | 17:07 |

| bo7amny | hi , is there a easy way to make your own ubuntu ? i just want my programmes to be already installed when i install ubuntu in a new pc . | 17:53 |
| LjL | ljvs: the official Ubuntu repositories have a GPG key that your computer checks against when downloading updates. so they're guaranteed to come from the official source - if they aren't, you get warned about it | 17:53 |
| LjL | !gpgerr | ljvs | 17:53 |
| ubottu | ljvs: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys <key> ; gpg --export --armor <key> | sudo apt-key add - » | 17:53 |

| arvind_khadri | xavierg2003, which one? | 17:54 |
| hatter243 | Bob_Dole, ... wonder why the first command in your pastbin shows the partition type correctly | 17:54 |
| Bob_Dole | also the disklabel is "unrecognized" | 17:54 |
| QPrime | ljvs: packages are signed - you should always net a notice about improperly signed packages (unless of course you have been instaling gpg signatures willy-nilly) | 17:54 |

| LogicFan | what is the location of the default audio driver for 8.10? | 18:14 |
| LogicFan | /dev/dsp or /dev/audio? | 18:14 |
| Whitor | ViaNocturna, ask in #ubuntu+1 ... thats where you will find out whats coming in the next release | 18:14 |
| LogicFan | if i have both present, how do i find out which one is being used | 18:14 |
| ViaNocturna | oh ok thanks | 18:14 |
| homy | which dark theme do you recommend? | 18:14 |
| tynar | is there any software for remote access for non reachable public ips? | 18:15 |
| Gnea | LogicFan: it's always /dev/dsp | 18:15 |
| IamChromos | So I have Win Xp- but I've been wanting to use Linux so bad... but I'm still not sure if it is for me. So whats the best way for me to install it? Can I run a Vm or do a dual boot, or should i just go with the Live cd? | 18:15 |
| bernz | {update} so, i and various others were talking about chromium last night. well, i tried it. right now, i just get a blank, white background -- there are lots of "not impl" messages in the console windows, so for those of you who are interested, i'd say hold off for a few more weeks, probably. | 18:15 |
| raven | whitor yes i know... but i need a tool that not only cuts but does that live like in a tv-studio. there is any software i heard about for macos doing video podcasts or something else but i do not remember the name... | 18:15 |

| Troll_Man | just wanted to share, put ubuntu server on an older dell server for a customer with about 6 employees. they had SBS 2003 on there all its for it quickbooks | 18:16 |
| Cyndrework | tynar: best way is to have a middle computer that has access to the private ips and public ips - you remote into the public ip, then remote again into the private ip | 18:16 |
| Troll_Man | they have reported a major pickup in speed withen quickbooks! | 18:16 |
| Troll_Man | ;) | 18:16 |
| tynar | Cyndrework: I thought there would be any software like logmein or teamviewer | 18:16 |
| bernz | tynar, maybe you want 'hamachi'? | 18:16 |
| Cyndrework | tynar: are you talking about getting to a private ip thats nat behind a public ip? | 18:17 |
| bernz | tynar, that will create a VPN for you, through which you can run VNC (remote computing) | 18:17 |
| === giuseppe is now known as Guest41425 | ||

| tynar | bernz, does it work on solaris? | 18:17 |
| _BeAr_ | does any1 knows a software to check what kind of formats my dvd player can read (dvd+, dvd-, etc)? | 18:17 |
| bernz | tynar, hmm, that i doubt -- they only release prebuilt bins, so i'm not sure if it would match your CPU | 18:18 |
| Whitor | raven, definately check out ubuntustudio .... you can add it on to regular Ubuntu through the synaptic manager | 18:18 |
| raven | i have ubuntustudio... | 18:18 |
| mrthraz | how can I find out witch kernel im using | 18:18 |
| bernz | tynar, but i heard of a guy who was making a free alternative that works like hamachi (so-called "zero config VPN") called "wippien" | 18:18 |
| bernz | or maybe it was "wipien" (pronounced "vee-pee-enn" | 18:18 |

| the[V]oid | hi, when trying to install a .deb file I've downloaded on the internet, I get the error "dependency not satisfiable: vlc" but VLC is *definietly* installed... how to solve this?? | 18:19 |
| bernz | tynar, sure... in any case, 'tightvnc' is probably a good package once you have your two LANs "tied together" (via VPN or whatever) | 18:19 |
| mrthraz | x-factor: thanks | 18:19 |
| agracey | I would like to install xubuntu on my gaming computer since I just wiped out the windows install will wine support steam? | 18:20 |

| pepperjack | QaDeS: mkfs | 18:41 |
| xavierg2003 | QaDeS: in what? | 18:41 |
| negge | pepperjack: okay | 18:41 |
| thisisfelixc | anyone using Jaunty | 18:41 |
| ziggytob | for the drivers to play youtube etc adobe go to http://sun.com and load the drivers to watch their videos works nicely | 18:41 |
| Scunizi | thisisfelixc: go to /join #ubuntu+1 | 18:42 |
| QaDeS | lol sorry. bought a new 64 bit pc and accidentally installed fom a 63 bit install cd | 18:42 |
| pepperjack | QaDeS: how much ram do you have? alot of us have 64 bit procs but choose to use 32 bit ubuntu | 18:42 |
| xavierg2003 | Ziggy i disagree with that it is much simpler throught the konsole | 18:42 |
| ziggytob | i didnt know how | 18:43 |
| QaDeS | fosco__: ubuntu is not by microsoft, is it? *g* | 18:43 |
| ziggytob | still do not | 18:43 |
| ziggytob | i want to learn | 18:43 |
| xavierg2003 | sudo apt-get install ubuntu restricted-extras | 18:43 |

| ziggytob | ok you seem to know thanks | 18:44 |
| QaDeS | pepperjack: only 2 gig, but why would i choose not to use my 64 bit? | 18:44 |
| ziggytob | i was wondering | 18:44 |
| pepperjack | ziggytob: the wiki though has all that stuff | 18:44 |
| Konan | hi | 18:44 |
| ruairidh | hi | 18:44 |
| fosco__ | QaDeS, to install the 64bits version you need to reinstall, no upgrade from 32bits is possible | 18:44 |
| Hoba | hi evreyone | 18:44 |
| ziggytob | thank you pepper | 18:45 |
| pepperjack | QaDeS: stability and support issues. for the most part those are resolved but it is still much easier to just use 32 bit. there may be a slight increase in speed but the only compelling reason for 64bit is to address more than 4 gigs of ram for a single process | 18:45 |
| pepperjack | ziggytob: np | 18:45 |
| QaDeS | this is bad :( | 18:45 |

| jrib | Hoba: your question makes no sense | 18:47 |
| fosco__ | gnumm, you can manually compile a new kernel, but it is not recommended nor supported | 18:47 |
| talonstriker | I put in the CD before booting the computer, and the default OS (Win2k) is booting up | 18:47 |
| talonstriker | i don't see an option on the bios screen to boot from CD | 18:47 |

| gnumm | fosco__: but there is a kernel repo right? | 18:47 |
| xavierg2003 | Restart your computer and leave the disk in. start up your boot loader and select Cd | 18:47 |
| fosco__ | gnumm, never heard about that | 18:48 |

| wrektkjet | i cant find "intrepid" | 19:11 |
| dayo | i have a directory called .../pub/<username> all files are owned by <username>:public. However when you copy a file to ../pub/yourUsername that file has ownership yourUserName:yourUserGroup. this is due to the nature of the underlying setup of the useradministration. now.... how do i make ownership of each new file automatically default to yourUsername:public? | 19:11 |
| LjL | wrektkjet: err, what do you mean with that? | 19:11 |
| wrektkjet | it says above that music-applet v 2.3 (intrepid) will do what i want | 19:12 |
| LjL | dayo: you can set the setuid group bit on that directory, then files will have the directory's permissions by default | 19:12 |
| LjL | wrektkjet: and you're on...? | 19:13 |
| dayo | LjL: how do i do that? | 19:13 |
| wrektkjet | oh | 19:13 |

| Guest82668 | hello!!! | 19:14 |
| dayo | LjL: i need them to have the dir's permissions and ownership | 19:15 |
| LjL | dayo: right, and i'm saying that will happen for new files, if you have g+s set. it *might* not happen for *copied* files, depending on just how you copy them. | 19:15 |
| mrwes | LjL: what's the +s do? | 19:15 |
| wrektkjet | LjL: looks like it installed... just curious how i access it? | 19:15 |
| LjL | mrwes: what i just said - the setuid group bit, on a directory, makes all new files inherit the directory's permissions | 19:16 |
| LjL | wrektkjet: right click on panel, add applet | 19:16 |
| mrwes | LjL: yah yah...I understand the letter g = group, I'm just not familiar with the +s | 19:16 |
| LjL | dayo: just try it. then if it doesn't work with your way of copying files, you'll have to resort to something more involved like a cronjob. | 19:16 |

| LjL | dayo: and i "suppose" you might also achieve that with access control lists, however i'm entirely unfamiliar with those | 19:18 |

| Funzo | hi guys, I'm kinda new with ubuntu so im gonna need some help:P I would like to set up an ftp server client on my computer :) Do you have some tips on good clients and guides? | 19:50 |
| nigebuntu | gftp is a simple one | 19:50 |
| Funzo | does it have a gui? | 19:50 |
| nigebuntu | yup | 19:50 |
| Funzo | nice :) | 19:50 |
| Funzo | can i apt-get it? :) | 19:51 |
| nigebuntu | just install it from synaptic - quite simple u shouldnt need much of a tutorial :) | 19:51 |
| nigebuntu | yes or apt-get | 19:51 |
| hardcampa | aptitude is always better than apt-get though | 19:51 |
| Funzo | nice :) thanks, i'll do that and come back here if i need help | 19:51 |
| nigebuntu | tomato(english accent) tomato(american accent) | 19:51 |
| hardcampa | aptitude tracks dependencies apt-get doesn't | 19:52 |
| hardcampa | for when you uninstall | 19:52 |
| nigebuntu | but u can still autoremove | 19:52 |
| Funzo | guys, is gftp a server? :S | 19:53 |
| hardcampa | no | 19:53 |
| nigebuntu | no thats the client | 19:53 |
| Funzo | oh, cause i asked for a server i think :P | 19:54 |
| Funzo | anyone have a good server tip? | 19:54 |
| hardcampa | good point about the autoremove nigebuntu, need to check that | 19:54 |
| hardcampa | Funzo depends on what you want really | 19:54 |
| hardcampa | a good trusted small ftp = vsftp | 19:54 |
| boom1992 | hey! where can I find the standard ubuntu-login-sounds? (as ogg preferably...) | 19:54 |
| hardcampa | a warez ftp = glfptd | 19:54 |
| nigebuntu | and i ought to check aptitude out so i knwo what im talking about :-P | 19:54 |
| hardcampa | nigebuntu heh | 19:55 |
| hardcampa | Funzo hmm i think it's vsftpd not vsftp btw | 19:55 |
| hardcampa | Then you got proftpd and pureftpd those are also good but I know proftpd have had problems with exploits | 19:56 |
| sivanicon | I'm looking to set up my own web proxy (such as the one at www.proxybuddy.com, not sure what thats called), anyone know what i should be googling? | 19:56 |
| Funzo | i want an easy to handle server. it doesn't have to have a gui but that is a plus. but if it doesn't have a gui i would like a config file like rtorrent. i like it that way :P | 19:56 |
| hardcampa | Funzo then I suggest vsftpd | 19:57 |
| Funzo | gui? | 19:57 |
| IronWilliamCash | graphical user interface | 19:57 |
| hardcampa | I think there is a gui to configure it | 19:57 |
| hardcampa | but I should get used to NOT running guis on linux if I were you, especially if you use it on a server | 19:58 |
| hardcampa | http://vsftpd.beasts.org/ <---there you go it's homepage | 19:58 |
| hardcampa | its* | 19:58 |
| hardcampa | Scroll down a bit on that page and you can see this topic: What large sites are trusting vsftpd? that should be enough =) | 19:58 |
| Octigen | when i use firefox in a 64bit enviroment, i need to pull of a lot of tricks to make flash work | 19:59 |

| [T]ank | ZykoticK9: getting the error that says I need to do a 'chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun' but when I do that it does a VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED). | 20:34 |

| ZykoticK9 | [T]ank, is you want USB you better off to use the VBox PUEL version (instead of OSE) see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads for install instructions | 20:38 |
| cipherZen | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras is what i generally do to get flash working | 20:38 |
| omnydevi1 | Yairi: Yeah, you would prolly have to get like gparted or something to remove all the ubuntu partitions, thats going to be tricky, have to let someone else explain that better than i can | 20:39 |

| dave-ubuntu | patryck, im not talking about the ips allowed to connect im familar with the allowed_hosts file, i only wish people to be able to tunnel to 127.0.0.1:80 | 21:08 |

| evilx | l337m4573r, what are you trying to do? | 21:08 |
| stweston | evilx: what's that supposed to do? (just so I know what I'm doing) | 21:08 |
| LjL | clee-saan: the page i gave you was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution and it has a *ton* of different commands, it doesn't "tell you" to paste any given command | 21:08 |
| cipherZen | i'm trying to help, you gotta let me know what you're setup is :P | 21:08 |
| evilx | stweston, it tells linux that you are setting a gateway on your machine that traffic should go to | 21:08 |
| clee-saan | LjL you typed something and then a bot pm'd me, it gave a link to that page but also told me to type some command line. | 21:09 |
| arkanabar | saxartist: i'd consider reformatting the entire HD & setting up four partitions: / for arch, / for ubuntu, swap, and /home for both linux distros. | 21:09 |
| acerone | anyone know any hacker channels?? | 21:09 |
| stweston | evilx: okay. | 21:09 |
| arkanabar | acerone, we do NOT discuss hacking. | 21:10 |
| saxartist | arkanabar: but as far as grub goes, will arch mess it up if I put ubu in first? | 21:10 |
| sivanicon | Looking to set up a Anonymizing proxy server? Anyone know of any that can be used via the web, not by changing proxy settings of a browser? | 21:10 |
| arkanabar | nearly always, grub finds all installed OSs when you install. | 21:10 |
| LjL | clee-saan: err, right, specifically, it said "To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution" | 21:10 |
| acerone | Im not discussing just asking, and its not even an illegal topic that Im intersting in | 21:10 |
| LjL | clee-saan: now, did you WANT to "restart your X"? | 21:10 |
| stweston | evilx: odd... it spits out "SIOCADDRT: Operation not permitted". | 21:10 |
| clee-saan | LjL i admit i did not think this through | 21:10 |
| acerone | sivanicon: look into Phoxy | 21:10 |
| evilx | stweston, did you do it as root? | 21:11 |
| spyda9 | acerone: you could check out #remote-exploit | 21:11 |
| x-ip | when when will be gnome 2.26 ?! :D | 21:11 |
| stweston | evilx: oh... lemme do that. | 21:11 |
| arkanabar | saxartist, I would probably do arch first, as ubuntu will autoconfigure grub for you, but arch probably won't. | 21:11 |
| arkanabar | but I'm lazy | 21:11 |
| acerone | spyda9: I love BackTrack, ty for that chanenl | 21:11 |
| clee-saan | LjL i guess i'll type the same command again but this time i'll let it complete. How long will that be ? | 21:11 |
| LjL | clee-saan: ok so if i give you a command saying "to entirely wipe your hard drive, type blah blah", will you run it? seriously. | 21:11 |
| LjL | clee-saan: NO you DO NOT want to type THAT command again! | 21:12 |

| Stevethe1irate | spyda9: Yeah I know; but most people here can point in the right direction :D | 21:13 |
| clee-saan | LjL i just pasted " sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart " into the console, and then entered my password | 21:14 |
| evil_tech | zash: well that explains a lot :) | 21:14 |
| LjL | clee-saan: yes. that restarts your X. as the bot said. it does NOT cause your display to get messed up. it merely restarts X. | 21:14 |

| clee-saan | LjL when i typed that command, the computer started shutting down. It displayed a black screen with white text, that it usually displays a few seconds before actually shutting down. But this time the screen stood still for way longer, so i assumed i should manually reboot the computer by pressing and holding the power button. When i did that new text started to appear, and it was saying things like "process interupted, saving syst | 21:18 |
| clee-saan | em clock blah blah blah" so i guess now there is something wrong with X, and that would be why my display is messed up | 21:18 |

| stweston | evilx: oh! I think I see what's wrong! | 21:20 |
| arkanabar | yairi: google format data recovery software & see what you get. | 21:20 |
| acerone | spyda9: they didnt like me over at remote exploit | 21:20 |
| phobiac | Yairi: Was the partition formatted over? | 21:20 |
| JMFTheVCI_ | Yairi: are you sure. Have you re-booted and selected Vista from the Grub screen, or is that not listed as an option | 21:20 |
| acerone | spyda9: they arent hackers they are "pentesters" | 21:21 |
| stweston | evilx: the command you gave me may only work for admins, therefore what I need is to set the gateway for everyone somehow. does that theory work? | 21:21 |
| stweston | evilx: if so, what do I do about it? | 21:21 |
| rubberducky | *** buffer overflow detected ***: mips-linux-uclibc-ar terminated | 21:21 |
| arkanabar | Yairi: I remember you had somehow created a bunch of extra partitions ... what happened to those? | 21:21 |
| poet | Does anyone have any suggestions for detecting hardware that disappeared after an update? :-p | 21:21 |
| developit | Yairi: Open your file browser and look at the drives. If there are no extra mounted disks, you probably need to find a data recovery specialist. | 21:22 |
| evilx | what do you mean for admins, that command I gave you for the entire networking system on your computer. it just tells it that all out going traffic has to go through that gateway( your macbook ) | 21:22 |
| developit | poet: Try toggling restricted drivers. | 21:22 |
| acerone | sivanicon: sorry I missed your question. Im not sure I know what you are asking? | 21:22 |

| arkanabar | I went and replaced the gnome network manager with lxnm ... is there a config file I can edit in order to get lxnm working on boot/login? | 21:23 |
| developit | So you have already turned restricted drivers off, rebooted, turned them back on, and then checked? | 21:23 |

| poet | developit: I'm not sure which groups of packages I should try removing, how can I find out? | 21:26 |
| clee-saan | LjL but i interupted it, so X had the time to stop workign but not to start working again, maybe ? | 21:26 |
| LjL | clee-saan: yes, but that doesn't matter at all after a reboot. | 21:26 |

| LjL | mr_claus: i don't know, it all looks correct to me | 22:29 |
| lwizardl | hi | 22:29 |
| pregier | SPF: last I checked, typical hard drive platter speed wasn't significantly faster than USB bus speed | 22:29 |
| lwizardl | any users from michigan? | 22:29 |
| SPF | pregier: so you're saying that an usb hard drive is much faster than an usb pen drive because it has cache? | 22:30 |

| Cervera | hey, i need a bit of help. i've tried every FAQ i know, an didn't find a solution: | 22:31 |
| Cervera | my tv doesn't appear in the resolutions screen even if it's connected and i restart the session.... | 22:31 |
| Cervera | i have intel 855 chipset | 22:31 |
| pregier | SPF: I'm saying that typical USB flash drive sustained r/w is below 15MB/s, typical HDD platter speed is above 50MB/s, typical HDD cache speed can be up to 3Mbps, and USB bus speed is 60MB/s; the only benefit to USB that isn't reflected here is very low seek times | 22:31 |
| pregier | SPF: sorry, the only benefit to flash, usb doesn't give you the low seeks itself | 22:32 |

| SPF | pregier: thanks, I'll check it out | 22:34 |
| snowman | 99 Can anyone help me with my wireless? | 22:34 |
| pregier | oh, and SPF, the other thing about cache is it keeps the wa time low because the CPU doesn't know about the wait when data is in drive cache; with flash, the CPU always knows, giving you a higher reading even for a fast flash drive | 22:35 |
| mr_claus | LjL: hey, sounds good, ty for that link | 22:35 |
| pregier | so expect falsely high iowaits on flash | 22:35 |

| Shishire | quick question: I've got a configuration issue, and have to reinstall...

| eseven73 | LjL ok well I dont install .debs every day, so i guess I'll live, but I feel bad for people that do (like if they're installing on muliple machines at a corperation or something) but then I guess they'd not use GUI anyways for that :P | 22:41 |
| alex3f | beside reinstall? | 22:41 |
| cipherZen | eseven73: the sudoers file i believe just keeps track of who can use sudo, not whether or not they need a password to use it. without a password on sudo, any exploit could instantly get root privileges (NOT GOOD) | 22:41 |
| Time`s_Witness | how can i make an alias permanent ? :X | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | alex3f: you might have to clean install. or do something on the cd. | 22:41 |
| cipherZen | a better solution is just to install them all in one shot | 22:41 |
| jrib | cipherZen: it can also make it so you don't need a password | 22:41 |
| cipherZen | not to mention, sudo should remember your password for 15 minutes (as stated earlier by someone else) | 22:41 |
| LjL | eseven73: exactly, they'd use something like apt-proxy or aptoncd | 22:42 |
| LjL | eseven73: and there's always dpkg from the command line. | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | alex3f: having a seperate home partition, makes re instaling Ubuntu much easier | 22:42 |

| oCean_ | Keal_: Your (disk)devices are accessible through so called mountpoints. | 23:09 |
| LjL | developit: try asking BestBot in #ubuntu-bots | 23:09 |
| Excell | I think you have to get permissions?..right? | 23:09 |
| Keal_ | oCean_, what do i put as 'mount point' in darksnow? | 23:09 |
| Excell | chown? | 23:10 |
| m1dlg | I find it's happening to only some devices, it was working and stopped yesterday | 23:10 |
| oCean_ | Keal_: So, when you have a second disk, and that disk has a partition, that it's device name might be something like /dev/sdb1. To actually access that partition, it has to be "mounted" at an existing directory on your filesystem | 23:10 |
| bernz | Keal_, in unix-like systems (Linux, etc), a mount point is generally just an empty directory in the file system (branching from '/', the root), onto which you can "hang" (mount) other file system trees | 23:10 |
| oCean_ | Keal_: the mountpoint can be anywhere you like. For example "/disk2" or "/home/username/disk2" | 23:10 |
| Ndshacker | Can anyone tell me how to host a blog on my Computer, it will only be for Local PCs, so im not worried about the security issues | 23:10 |
| krel1 | well something is wrong with this if i reply to a PM it locks up :/ | 23:11 |
| bernz | Keal_, you could, for example, mount a backup drive onto your file system, then copy the contents of '/home' into that mounted system, then unmount and put your backup drive in a safe palce | 23:11 |
| reagleBRKLN | help! just spent a long time installing a intrepid and can't use latex | 23:11 |
| oCean_ | Keal_: remember, before you actually mount the partition, the mountpoint has to exist. So, do "mkdir /disk2" before you try to mount anything to /disk2 | 23:11 |
| reagleBRKLN | it sounds very much liek this problem, but don't know how to fix it: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/56e48a088bb15a2e/35a78d7640f13c93?# | 23:11 |

| Keal_ | thanks bernz too | 23:12 |
| bernz | Keal_, if you plug a USB drive/stick into your PC, you'll probably notice it "appear" on your desktop -- it's being automounted ;-) (yw) | 23:12 |
| Keal_ | ok bernz bbl | 23:13 |
| LjL | !info pyblosxom | Ndshacker, here's a possibility | 23:13 |

| bernz | Keal_, those automounted devices usually get mounted in '/media' -- for example, '/media/disk' is often the first thing you plug in which has storage (like an USB stick, certain MP3 players, etc) | 23:13 |
| bernz | Keal_, okay, see ya | 23:13 |

| mattgyver83 | how do i find out the directory of my cdrom drive so i can mount it manually?? | 23:15 |

| dejavou42 | does anyone know what command I was talking about? | 23:16 |
| asdfqwer | I'm back, something funky has happened with X; so any time gdm attempts to run it shows me gnome's loading cursor and my gdm's background-color then hangs, it repeats this process another 5 times then displays this message: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying on display :0. | 23:16 |

| oCean_ | dejavou42: you mean module "usbhid" ? | 23:17 |

| bernz | asdfqwer, the logs for the X system (not sure which parts even, but that one might be an overall one) | 23:18 |
| maxb | Mind you, we're almost to 1.2.1 | 23:18 |

| oCean_ | dejavou42: well unloading and reloading the usbhid module is a way to prevent reboot. If that does not solve whatever you're trying to solve, you may have to reboot :/ | 23:22 |

| bernz | Ndshacker, you might need to install a "small" web server, and run a web framework (e.g. RubyOnRails, django, etc) | 23:24 |
| exodus_ms | !lamp | 23:24 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:24 |
| bernz | Ndshacker, or you can write your own CGI stuff by hand, including the web server (super l88t) | 23:25 |
| dejavou42 | oCean: ok, if I have module ehci_hcd blacklisted via /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ehci I won't even be able to enable it with the modprobe command unless I un-blacklist it , right? | 23:25 |
| mrbull | also if it helps I did reboot to see if it got picked up - and it didn't. | 23:25 |
| bernz | exodus_ms's suggestion is probably the best, by far | 23:25 |
| oCean_ | dejavou42: correct | 23:25 |

I did a google search and came up with nothing I could relate to. I read somewhere about editing a conf file but I couldn't find any actual steps to take. | 23:31 |
| bernz | meowImAKitty, often, laptops have hardware buttons (via special 'Fn' key) that can control/override the external video port -- try messing with that (including holding the keys for certain lengths of time (e.g. 3 seconds)) | 23:31 |
| daryl_ | hey everyone, wondering if I can ask for a hand? Trying to install ubuntu on an industrial tablet pc. no keys or mouse. each stock or graphic problem install i try gives me a pulsing blank screen half way through the live cd loading on the progress bar. No way to F_ key out of it to a console. I am oj with linux but I dont know things well enough to know how to pass a vga=normal argument at the boot prompt. Tried but I dont kn | 23:31 |
| daryl_ | ow root target, it errored. elive gave a desktop when i saw vga=normal go by. Can someone tell me what the boot command would be for jaunty alpha 6? | 23:31 |
| meowImAKitty | I willl try holding it, but I have tried to use the fn button | 23:31 |
| melik | Ndshacker, | 23:32 |
| melik | i dont see it | 23:32 |
| meowImAKitty | Yeah holding the fn-f5 combo does nothing. Any other ideas??? | 23:32 |
| ahmed-araby | hi all can someone check this menu.lst for me to find out what's wrong http://fpaste.org/paste/6538 , near 149 | 23:32 |
| bernz | daryl_, do you mean that the (sort of) "boot menu" from a live CD isn't coming up? or have you already installed a system to the NV storage on the tablet (HD, SSD, or whatever)? | 23:33 |
| meowImAKitty | LAPTOP PROBLEM: Cannot use external video port, any ideas??? | 23:34 |
| bernz | daryl_, in the latter case, you should install GRUB, and then you can configure it to give you a chance to break in during boot and select stuff; among that stuff is the ability to modify kernel options prior to boot | 23:34 |
| daryl_ | no I am using a usb cdrom to boot disc image from. failsafe 1 in live cd mode gave me a desktop and i noticed that vga setting as the difference. nothing is installed yet. | 23:34 |
| oCean_ | daryl_: See this about boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 23:35 |

| bernz | daryl_, well, if you can be sure that you can boot from a USB stick or CDROM or whatever, even after you've installed, you can just mount the file system of the fresh install in your "live" (USB or CD) session, make your edits to the startup config, and then try a boot; if that fails, you can retry until you get it | 23:38 |
| locovicen | ok | 23:38 |

| Chairos | sprinkmeier: hrm, I don't have those options, just pgp options, in Encryption and Keyrings | 23:44 |
| micah | then how do get blender 2.48 in the right place?? | 23:44 |
| daryl_ | this is a webdt366 by dtresearch. 8 inch x86 amd geode with 512 of ram. 500mb flash and I hhave a 4 gig card in a slot as extra. thats where grub goes wrong too. | 23:44 |
| bernz | daryl_, ahh.. okay, let me look that up, i might be able to just tell you | 23:45 |
| bernz | Krell, oh yes, sorry, i'll check my PM | 23:45 |
| lstarnes | moss23: how are you trying to install blender 2.48? | 23:45 |
| lstarnes | moss23: never mind, wrong person | 23:45 |
| daryl_ | www.dtri.com they just discontinued it | 23:45 |
| lstarnes | micah: how are you trying to install it? | 23:45 |
| moss23 | lstarnes, there is some virtual driver, but I can't figure out it's name, it is definitely not vesa | 23:45 |
| daryl_ | tons of these on ebay for 100$ | 23:45 |
| === john is now known as Guest62080 | ||
| micah | well i have the files and when i click on blender it runs but the files are not in the right place | 23:45 |
| sprinkmeier | Chairos, 8.10? my system is 8.04 updated from 7.10 (updated from....) so it's probably a bit of a mash-up. I wonder if auto-logon disables auto-unlock-keyring? | 23:46 |
| micah | there in my documents | 23:46 |
| Chairos | yeah,i have 8.10 | 23:46 |
| moss23 | lstarnes, it is vboxvideo for windows hosts but for linux hosts, who knows | 23:47 |

| trippsss | _VIM_, cool thanks - literally found the same page on launchpad seconds before you posted :) | 23:48 |
| _VIM_ | LOL! yeah it's on the very bottom when you search for 'handbrake' took me awhile to see that too, anyways glad you got it :) | 23:48 |
| oCean_ | gbacon: searching packages.ubuntu.com (more accurate then google) also gives 1.5.2 to be in universe, package name seems to be 1.5.0 though. See: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libgdal&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all | 23:49 |
| lstarnes | micah: version 2.45 is currently available in the official universe repository for hardy | 23:49 |
| gbacon | oCean_: ah, thanks.. the name confused me | 23:49 |
| yow|x2 | anyone getting freezing with jaunty and ext4? just wondering. | 23:50 |
| _VIM_ | !jaunty | yow|x2 | 23:50 |
| ubottu | yow|x2: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 23:50 |
| micah | ya i want 2.48 | 23:50 |
| useruser | uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubuntu | 23:50 |
| === useruser is now known as linux | ||
| Jon829 | i keep downloading ubuntu but i dont have the iso image file | 23:50 |
| dave-ubuntu | hmm | 23:50 |
| lstarnes | micah: 2.48 will be available in the official repositories for ubuntu 9.04 | 23:50 |
| dave-ubuntu | sounds like you have windows :) | 23:51 |
| Jon829 | lol yea | 23:51 |
| dave-ubuntu | Jon829, i believe ubuntu still shps cds | 23:51 |
| yow|x2 | _VIM_ im aware of that, i use alphas a lot, but freezing really shouldnt be happening too much with the 6th alpha my friend | 23:51 |
| dave-ubuntu | if not a bunch of third parties do for a small fee | 23:51 |
| LogicFan | Jon829, can you elaborate a bit more? | 23:52 |
| JW | How do you restore a normal set of console (F1 - F7 - F12)? I have this fitPC with Ubuntu preinstalled and I'm stuck with the X console, I can't switch to anything else. | 23:52 |
| === EndProhibition is now known as TwoToneSpirit | ||
| oCean_ | yow|x2: Read the last line of what ubottu told you - this is not the channel | 23:52 |
| micah | ok | 23:52 |
| dave-ubuntu | Jon829, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ | 23:52 |
| Jon829 | i would like to get a disc but dont want to wait | 23:52 |
| micah | so i cant put the files in the right place? | 23:52 |
| sprinkmeier | JW, CNTRL-ALT-F1? or do you mena how do I boot into consolr (rather than graphical) mode? | 23:52 |
| lstarnes | micah: where did you get 2.48? | 23:52 |
| yow|x2 | alright, i'll ask in there, i thought maybe someone might be using jaunty in here but i guess not, thanks oCean_ | 23:52 |
| dave-ubuntu | use firefox to dowload the iso | 23:52 |
| micah | there web site | 23:53 |
| dave-ubuntu | mabe its an IE bug | 23:53 |
| micah | blender.org | 23:53 |
| dave-ubuntu | anyway back later | 23:53 |
| Jon829 | think dling it with winrar has anything to do with it? | 23:53 |
| JW | sprinkmeier: I mean the normal console setup is not there, CTRL+F1 and ALT+CTRL+F1, ad nauseum, does nothing - they've disabled the virtual consoles :-( | 23:53 |
| Ndshacker | probaby | 23:53 |
| dave-ubuntu | downloading it with winrar..../ | 23:53 |
| sprinkmeier | Jon829, try the network install CD. It's smaller. I've seen IE choke on large files. | 23:53 |
| dave-ubuntu | didnt think that was possable | 23:53 |
| sprinkmeier | JW, pre-installed OS's blow... you either get crapware or 'customisations' like you mentioned :-) | 23:54 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Jon829: Try Bit Torrent - it's more organic and usually faster | 23:54 |
| dave-ubuntu | if you mean extracting the iso with winrar or selecting to open it with winrar it may have cached the file in a temporary directory | 23:54 |
| JW | sprinkmeier: well I didn't think one could do something this horrible to an install even if they tried! | 23:54 |
| dave-ubuntu | search for .iso on your computer | 23:54 |
| JW | sprinkmeier: and I'm kind of stuck with it cause there's no optical drive. | 23:54 |
| daryl_ | yeah thats what I am doing or trying at least | 23:55 |
| JW | takes forever to log into Gnome just to get a Terminal | 23:55 |
| Jon829 | nothing showed up in the search | 23:55 |
| daryl_ | oCean that link was exactly what I needed. Thank you! | 23:56 |
| meoblast001 | everytime i try to connect a program with my bluetooth headset i get "Can't connect SCO audio channel: Address already in use" | 23:56 |
| lstarnes | micah: it appears to be self-contained. If it is, then it doesn't need to be installed to any particular location | 23:56 |
| micah | ok so is there a way i can get it to show in the applications tab? | 23:57 |
| lstarnes | micah: go to System > Preferences > Main Menu | 23:58 |
| lstarnes | micah: you can add a launcher for it there | 23:58 |
| micah | thank you sorry im a pain in the ass lol | 23:58 |
| JW | sprinkmeier: to add inslut to injury, when I log in, network manager takes over and uses a different set of network settings then when no one is logged in. | 23:59 |
