| Imahilus | could anybody help me with a ubuntu network issue? (v8.10) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| node357 | please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | John_OAS: what errors do you get when you try log on? | 00:00 |
| oCean_ | the-newby: when you spell my nick correctly, you message gets highlighted. That makes a conversation easier to follow | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ask | Imahilus | 00:00 |
| ubottu | Imahilus: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | melik: sudo apt-get install ntfstools | 00:00 |
| rww | melik: the best we have is "ntfsresize -fi /dev/sdXY" (replacing XY with your partition info), which is the check that happens before resizing (that command doesn't actually resize with those options). For a full check, you should boot Windows (thems the breaks when you use a Microsoft propreitary filesystem). | 00:00 |
| the-newby | uupps,, sorry, typing error, | 00:00 |
| John_OAS | No error, I'm just directed staight back to the login screen. | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | John_OAS: check you are the owner and that your home dir is chmodded 750 throughout | 00:01 |
| Imahilus | @ ActionParsnip1: my network connection 'drops' for 4~5 seconds every now and again, depending on network traffic (more traffic -> more often) | 00:01 |
| John_OAS | Same for Ctrl-Alt-N logins. INcorrect password does result in an incorrect password message. | 00:01 |
| oCean_ | the-newby: :) Just type oC and hit <tab> key... | 00:01 |
| jesper | Hello, is the command and package kerneltop ever meant to be a working package? | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Imahilus: try a different driver, or some options on the driver to make it better | 00:02 |
| John_OAS | I can't login do do that, will a boot CD give me appropriate permissions to check and correct that. | 00:02 |
| node357 | please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help | 00:02 |
| Imahilus | driver? o.o | 00:02 |
| Imahilus | it worked out of the box, and it has no drivers listen in the hardware manager anymore | 00:02 |
| oCean_ | the-newby: to answer the question: sorry, don't know of 2.12 version. Intrepid gives 2.7-1, and there are only updates regarding security vulnerabilities etc. | 00:02 |
| Imahilus | (new to ubuntu) | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | John_OAS: you can certainly chmod -R 750 /home/folder | 00:02 |
| the-newby | oCean_: yes, i will in future, may i be forgiven for this time ? :) | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Imahilus: then run: sudo lshw -C network | 00:03 |
| oCean_ | the-newby: most certainly :) | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Imahilus: ok, microphones and other sound issues, tend to just need configuring in Ubuntu, no drivers needed | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Imahilus: that wil show you the driver you are using, you can then use that to websearch, are you fully updated? | 00:03 |
| Imahilus | yes | 00:03 |
| trin | does anyone know how i can force windows to view my linux partition i am using vista business | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | trin: yes | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | trin: however if you let it view your / partition it would be like running admin/root on it, and that means if you delete the wrong file, you could get Ubuntu issues | 00:04 |
| the-newby | so for now , i thnx for the help so far, i will try to install the new version, after checking the libs | 00:04 |
| Imahilus | ActionParsnip1: fully updated, looking for the driver bits now | 00:04 |
| the-newby | bye ,for now.O:-) | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | trin: also with the viruses for Windows, you could get one that would wipe Windows out as well as your Linux partition, if you do that | 00:04 |
| Dreamglider | trin: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | Dreamglider: you should warn people like I did first :) not just give them that link | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | trin: Ubuntu can read and write to your Vista NTFS partition by the way | 00:05 |
| trin | i tried that one and windows tells me i have to reformat the drive | 00:05 |
| Dreamglider | sebsebseb: true | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | trin: and you could have a data parttion that you share between both of them | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | trin: ok well it's very stable now. and that's been over 2 years | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | trin: the read and write NTFS driver | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | trin: http://www.fs-driver.org/download/Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe you could run the installer with compatibility so it runs under XP compatibility | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | trin: better to make a partition that you share between both OS's | 00:06 |
| Imahilus | ActionParsnip1: driver=ipw2200 driverversion=1.2.2kmprq firmware=ABG:9.0.2.6 (Mar 22 2005) ip=192.168.1.100 latency=64 link=yes maxlatency=24 mingnt=3 module=ipw2200 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11g | 00:06 |
| asc | I have 6 GB of memory. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (32-bit). It is showing 2 GB of memory. I need it to use as much as 32-bit can access (3 or 3.5 GB). Can anybody help me? | 00:06 |
| node357 | please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | trin: or make a seperate home, and let Vista have access to that one as well, instead of / | 00:06 |
| Dreamglider | tho i dont like the fs-driver, it's like you have to "download" the files on the ext partition. | 00:07 |
| Dreamglider | on-of * | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | asc: you need the server edition or 64bit ubuntu | 00:07 |
| gartral | how do i update my dvdrom's bios? | 00:07 |
| Imahilus | ActionParsnip1: actually have no clue as to search wether its up to date | 00:07 |
| trin | trird that actionparsnip1 | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Imahilus: according to the ipw2200 site you have the latest veriosn | 00:08 |
| mcfeeb | i need to recreate an mdadm config for a soft-raid(1) on 8.04. the raid is intact, but the system drive crapped out and i lost the original raid config. is there a quick way to reconstruct it without losing the data on the raid disks? | 00:08 |
| Imahilus | drats | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | trin: yes you have to give it a letter on Windows, and re boot, before the driver takes effect, once you got it installed | 00:08 |
| Imahilus | ActionParsnip1: incompatibility with the linksys router perhaps? | 00:09 |
| trin | i assigned it "z" | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | trin: hang on | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Imahilus: ahhhh, if you sudo ifdown your other network devices its better | 00:09 |
| Dreamglider | gartral: go to the manufacturers website and download the update (If there is one) chances are youll have to do the update in Windows. | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Imahilus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=58721 | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | trin: why not run Vista instead Ubuntu, if you got enough RAM? | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | trin: inside Ubuntu | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | trin: Vista business so I am assuming your not playing games | 00:09 |
| trin | correct | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | trin: how much RAM do you have? | 00:10 |
| trin | 4gb | 00:10 |
| Imahilus | ActionParsnip1: thanks! =) | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | trin: perfect | 00:10 |
| node357 | please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help | 00:10 |
| matrix__ | hey is there any program for ubuntu so you can see tv satelites programs on pc, there are som programs that works on windows just wondering if ubuntu have something similiar | 00:10 |
| Imahilus | ActionParsnip1: afraid its getting late here, so I'm saving the link to try 'tomorrow' | 00:10 |
| Greencoat421 | ok Gnea, that didn't work | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | trin: this is a very good idea, use Ubuntu as your host OS, and if your going to have Vista, do it in a virtual machine. that way you can just copy it like a normal operating system file as well. and do a clean from malicious programs backup like that | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | trin: and everything will work fine except 3D programs, but your not doing that anyway | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | matrix__: mythtv will use a tv card nicely | 00:11 |
| HammerHead66 | sorry if I haven't been able to help I had a person that had a lot to do | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | trin: well I assume your not? | 00:11 |
| matrix__ | not to watch from pc to tv i mean to watch live tv programs on ubuntu | 00:11 |
| eseven3 | sebsebseb: "you're" :) | 00:11 |
| salah | Hi. I have a Option 3G network card, which works properly. The only problem is that I have to start the computer with this USB modem plugged in, else Ubuntu won't discover it. Any ideas to fix this? | 00:11 |
| aorist | are there any known issues with ubuntu 8.04 with a previously working microsoft pptp vpn setup suddenly refusing to connect? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | eseven3: ;) | 00:12 |
| shay1 | Hi, how come when I install nvidia-180 and login, I get a black screen? | 00:12 |
| HammerHead66 | matrix__: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844653/ any TV show on TV is on this site | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | trin: also being able to run both OS's on the same computer at the asme time, is better than dual booting surely? of course depending on what apps you want to run from Windows, Wine may be good enough | 00:12 |
| Greencoat421 | is there a networking channel? | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | yes | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | #networking | 00:12 |
| B4RR13N705 | hey! | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | salah: when you plug it in run: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart | 00:12 |
| node357 | please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help | 00:12 |
| matrix__ | what the heck are you talking about | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | Greencoat421: that's where I was going to tell you to go earlier | 00:12 |
| matrix__ | i want to watch satelite programs on ubuntu | 00:13 |
| matrix__ | are you stupid or what | 00:13 |
| trin | the only reason that i have it installed in a separte partition os because of my drafting software and my wife who also uses this | 00:13 |
| B4RR13N705 | hi | 00:13 |
| _VIM_ | !attitude | matrix__ | 00:13 |
| ubottu | matrix__: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 00:13 |
| trin | the virtual machine would confuse her to no end | 00:13 |
| B4RR13N705 | does anybody know starterbar | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | trin: what is drafing software? | 00:13 |
| B4RR13N705 | from gdesklets? | 00:13 |
| shay1 | nvidia 180.29 won't work correctly | 00:13 |
| salah | ActionParsnip1, is there no possibility to make Ubuntu do this automaticly? | 00:13 |
| HammerHead66 | matrix__: u were talking about TV I gave you a one shop stop for all programs on TV | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | trin: convert your wife to Ubuntu :) even non technical people can use Ubuntu, with enough help from someone | 00:13 |
| node357 | yeah when it WORKS | 00:14 |
| node357 | all I wanna do is mute my microphone! | 00:14 |
| Greencoat421 | sebsebseb so what's the channel name? | 00:14 |
| shay1 | wait does NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run even work on intrepid? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | salah: you could write a script that polls the usb and runs the command if it changes | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | trin: and you could put desktoip apps for all programs she uses, and then probably be ok? | 00:14 |
| B4RR13N705 | go to sound setting | 00:14 |
| B4RR13N705 | ! | 00:14 |
| matrix__ | iam talking about software like you can download for windows and then you can install the software and watch tv satelites programs that brodcasts live | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | Greencoat421: #networking | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shay1: i used the pkg0.run file | 00:14 |
| _VIM_ | so get a mic with a mute/volume switch :P | 00:14 |
| trin | i design houses on the side | 00:14 |
| node357 | please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help | 00:14 |
| maddwesty | how to i get wine up and running? | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | matrix__: yeah there's a website uhmmmmmm | 00:15 |
| trin | so it have to have my windows but when i am not i am in ubuntu | 00:15 |
| HammerHead66 | node357: i would if I had a mic | 00:15 |
| John_OAS | ActionParsnip1 - Permissions / ownership seem OK. Any ideas, or particular logs I could check that would be informative. | 00:15 |
| node357 | :( | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | salah: you could have a script to run the command and a link on your desktop to run it with a simple click | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | trin: ok well why do you or she have to access UBuntu's partition from Windows? | 00:15 |
| John_OAS | (one day I'll remember to use a ?) | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | John_OAS: could create an extra user and add it to the admin group, log in as that and troubleshoot | 00:15 |
| salah | ActionParsnip1, sorry, one more thing: when I plug it out, the computer completely freezes | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | maddwesty: you add wines own server/repo to Ubuntu | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | maddwesty: then you always get latest version | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | salah: sounds like your usb management is a bit screwy, are you fully updated? | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | maddwesty: http://www.winehq.org | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | !rep | 00:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rep | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | !repo | 00:16 |
| 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 | 00:16 |
| FloodBot1 | sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:16 |
| salah | ActionParsnip1, yes last update two days ago | 00:16 |
| HammerHead66 | ActionParsnip1: see all kinds of goodies | 00:16 |
| Drknezz | Hi | 00:17 |
| trin | my main job that i do is design websites i do most of the work in dreamweaver for now as i am still trying to figure out the editors in ubuntu | 00:17 |
| John_OAS | ActionParsnip1 - How to create a new user for the OS on disk, while booted from Live CD? | 00:17 |
| node357 | turns out it's a long standing bug, thanks for nothing | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | trin: Dreamweaver works rather nicely under Wine | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | trin: see above about getting wine | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | John_OAS: you'll need to chroot the terminal so it works on the internal disk and not the ramdrive of the live cd | 00:17 |
| MarGarina | trin: vim is amazing when you get used to it. :) | 00:17 |
| Drknezz | Why some entries in my repo list are commented out? "Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:", even when they are ubuntu-security | 00:17 |
| Anon | Hello all. | 00:18 |
| trin | even cs 4? | 00:18 |
| Flannel | Drknezz: Because when you installed, you didn't have internet access to verify that they were up. You should uncomment them. | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | trin: to be honest I think all website editors suck, that's why I hand code, but if I was to be making a much better site, then Dreamweaver sure | 00:18 |
| * MarGarina doesn't trust wine | 00:18 | |
| ActionParsnip1 | Drknezz: when its done it thing, go back in and uncomment | 00:18 |
| Drknezz | Flannel, ok, thx | 00:18 |
| Drknezz | ;) | 00:18 |
| * ActionParsnip1 loves wine | 00:18 | |
| sebsebseb | trin: not sure about CS 4, but http://www.appdb.winehq.org | 00:18 |
| Anon | Are we debating about coding sites? | 00:18 |
| LogicFan | nw pinot noir is my favorite ;P | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Anon: no, ubuntu support | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | trin: remember you can run Windows also inside Ubuntu for 2D apps instead of dual booting :d | 00:19 |
| Anon | Ah. | 00:19 |
| LogicFan | sorry, mandatory wine joke was necessary | 00:19 |
| trin | last i checked it was not on the list | 00:19 |
| matrix__ | www.freeware.de/download/readon-tv-movie-radio-player_36967.html something like this just for ubuntu | 00:19 |
| LogicFan | =) | 00:19 |
| Anon | So what usually happens here? (first time on) | 00:19 |
| meoblast001 | i have Gnash and it won't work, how do i get flash back? | 00:19 |
| eseven3 | !welcome | Anon | 00:19 |
| Greencoat421 | 00:19 | |
| ubottu | Anon: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 00:19 |
| meoblast001 | i reinstalled it | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | Anon: you ask a question, and people answer, or you help others | 00:19 |
| salah | I found that HAL probably don't unmount the device. Is there any possibilities to make HAL mount and unmount automaticly? All other USB devices works perfectly | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Anon: people ask support questions and they get answers, this is the official support channel for ubuntu | 00:19 |
| Anon | Ah, OK. | 00:19 |
| LogicFan | meoblast001, remove the gnash firefox plugin | 00:20 |
| Anon | So it's like the forums, only faster? | 00:20 |
| matrix__ | Readon TV Movie Radio Player | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | Anon: yeah instnat | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Anon: well real time so yeah | 00:20 |
| trin | will i still have the 3d support that i have when i have the seperate partition | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | Anon: instant | 00:20 |
| trin | as my drafting prog needs the 3d | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | trin: 3D suppourt is experimental in virtual machine software | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | trin: for now you will need Windows for a 3D program | 00:21 |
| eseven3 | blender for 3d :) | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | trin: that is a Windows program, but for 2D stuff a vm will be fine | 00:21 |
| HammerHead66 | lol | 00:21 |
| trin | my cheif architect needs the 3d | 00:21 |
| trin | for the rendering | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | trin: and Blender is a 3D moddlling app , that is complacted to learn, so not helpful for what your after | 00:21 |
| Anon | Well, it does take a while. | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | trin: Blender for making movies yeah | 00:21 |
| _VIM_ | Blender pwns | 00:22 |
| === SecretBnC is now known as Myidentityisasec | ||
| Anon | But there are some good tutorial sites for blender. | 00:22 |
| _VIM_ | just takes a bit to learn the interface | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | trin: yes that's why you dual boot | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | trin: however for 2D programs you can run them inside Ubuntu as I was saying | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | trin: why dual boot into Vista, unless you really have to? | 00:22 |
| Anon | trin: http://www.totallyblended.com/ - atrocious web design, good blender tutorials. | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | trin: I mean you want to be on Ubuntu most of the time don't you? even if that means your running a few Windows apps that are 2D, in Wine, comercial versions of Wine, or a Windows virtual machine? | 00:23 |
| === Myidentityisasec is now known as Can | ||
| trin | if it was not for my cheif arch. prog i would run windows in a vm | 00:23 |
| trin | i am 95% of the time | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | trin: well Dreamweaver CS 4 in a VM :D | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | trin: or with Wine if it's got good enough suppourt | 00:24 |
| nickolas | Torrent | 00:24 |
| meoblast001 | LogicFan: it fell back to swfdec | 00:24 |
| lagann_ | doesn't dreamweaver cs4 work fine in a VM? | 00:24 |
| HammerHead66 | later guys I'll be back after I eat something | 00:24 |
| nickolas | What is a VM | 00:24 |
| nickolas | ? | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | lagann_: that's exactly what I was saying | 00:24 |
| lagann_ | virtual machine | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | virtual machine | 00:24 |
| nickolas | oh thx | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | let's you run an OS inside an OS | 00:24 |
| FloodBot1 | sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | flood hummmmmmm | 00:25 |
| nickolas | yeah but you have to buy the os | 00:25 |
| salah | Is there any way to check if noacpi is running? | 00:25 |
| trin | that one does but not my chief architect program as it needs the 3d support | 00:25 |
| nickolas | 00:25 | |
| LogicFan | meoblast001, remove that one too | 00:25 |
| eseven73 | Anon: you make that site? | 00:25 |
| nickolas | 00:25 | |
| nickolas | 00:25 | |
| FloodBot1 | nickolas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:25 |
| LogicFan | then re-install flashplugin-nonfree | 00:25 |
| nickolas | he put a ban on me | 00:25 |
| Anon | eseven73: Nope. | 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | nickolas: yes you were being stupid flooding the channel for real | 00:25 |
| Anon | Found it on the internet somewhere. | 00:25 |
| nickolas | well he works | 00:25 |
| === Can is now known as tanmaynarang | ||

| gartral | speaking of wine... has anyone else figured out how to get compiz to behave while wine apps are runnin, so far, im doing ok, i just cant alttab a windowed game, that doesnt workout so well comeing back | 00:26 |
| nickolas | yeah i nkow i just wanted to see if he works :) sorry if i bothered any1 | 00:26 |
| eseven73 | anon ah ok, ill check it out ty :D | 00:26 |
| Imahilus | bye people | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | nickolas: and no you don't have to buy an OS if the OS is free | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | nickolas: by the way Linux distributions are not just free as in price most of them, because they are all free as in freedom | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | !freedom | 00:26 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 00:26 |
| nickolas | !free | 00:27 |
| lagann_ | nickolas, if you have a slow internet connection, you may want to order the CD or DVD instead | 00:27 |
| nickolas | yes iam talking about vista and microcra(p) products | 00:28 |
| lagann_ | nickolas, most of the linux distros are free, ubuntu is always free to all | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | gartral: speaking of Wine, all these people that want Linux distributions to be a free as in price version of Windows, when really they are meant to be a free as in freedom version of Unix :). one day though ReactOS which will be like a opensource version of Widows, will be developed enough for proper usage :D ,but by then Wine will also be amazing. they share some code. http://www.reactos.org If people are | 00:29 |
| nickolas | and openSUSE and fedora and devian and linux mint | 00:29 |

| millertime_018 | hello | 01:34 |

| fearful | Merula, you can build it, but you don't have build-essential I'm guessing | 01:34 |
| zenlunatic | Stepan1, anything in /mnt ? | 01:34 |
| divXjunky | josh-l: sorry don't know about that.. | 01:34 |
| zenlunatic | Stepan1, I'm on my redhat install | 01:35 |

| telemachus | I want to find a file and its path from the command line. I can do ls -l |grep 'whatever', it finds the file but it doesn't tell me the path to the file. I don't think there's a ls switch that can help, but if I get the inode of the file, can I get the path from the inode? | 01:35 |

| Closeyetfar | does anyone here use evolution mail to access yahoomail through? | 01:35 |

| sixofour | lol no | 01:38 |
| sixofour | i'm being dramatic for the fun of it | 01:38 |
| bruce89 | seems to have worked anyway | 01:38 |
| sixofour | and becasue ive tried linux for a week each year for the passed 8 years | 01:39 |
| sixofour | and am still compilled towards windows for stuff | 01:39 |
| sixofour | compelled8 | 01:39 |
| fearful | Merula, have a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#Install%20Ubuntu%20Intrepid%20Ibex%208.10%20on%20the%20Acer%20Aspire%20One | 01:39 |
| sloopy | sixofour, try windows for a week for the last 8 years... i did... i keep coming back to linux | 01:39 |
| telemachus | how do people search file files from the command line? | 01:39 |
| carpii | so youre not trying very hard | 01:39 |
| sixofour | yeah but you don't have programs that don't work in linux/wine | 01:39 |
| sloopy | well actually windows 95 made me use linux | 01:39 |
| tripitakit | telemachus, man find | 01:39 |
| carpii | sixofour, you cant expect a transition to linux to be totally painless | 01:40 |
| Merula | fearful, that's what I used to install on this netbook in the first place. Followed the directions to the letter. Still nothing. | 01:40 |
| bruce89 | sixofour: have you actually got a question? | 01:40 |
| jared | anyone here able to help me use a 32bit driver with ndiswrapper for a usb wireless card for a 64bit system? i have all installed, but it says bad magic 010B | 01:40 |
| fearful | Merula, hmm awkward, we have to find someway of getting the new kernel on this netbook | 01:40 |
| stephans | A-KO, openvpn? thats easy? | 01:40 |
| A-KO | openvpn is one of the easier VPN solutions | 01:40 |
| Merula | fearful, I'm tempted to just re-install and see if it fixes anything | 01:40 |
| A-KO | if not the only one I've seen | 01:41 |
| stephans | ok | 01:41 |
| sloopy | sixofour, i use virtual box OSE for those times | 01:41 |
| A-KO | To do what you want you'll want a combination of iptables and openvpn | 01:41 |
| fearful | Merula, well there are many bug reports on that specific problem, and most said fixed on kernel upgrade | 01:41 |

| buttons1 | thanks | 01:52 |
| LogicFan | CaptainMorgan, thats not a specific question for ubuntu | 01:52 |
| LogicFan | it depends on the load | 01:52 |
| LogicFan | generally, its wise to keep them separate | 01:52 |
| Stepan1 | zenlunatic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/135732/, fyi:all those songs are on the drive that works, the drive that doesnt work has a nero cd in it | 01:52 |
| LogicFan | but if its just for a small office or whatever, its fine to keep them on one server | 01:53 |
| CaptainMorgan | LogicFan, but Ubuntu can handle the load... ? | 01:53 |
| Hfreiu | logicfan, is beeping in xchat broken on ubuntu? | 01:53 |
| LjL | Mr_Cheese: routine checks, that's normal | 01:53 |
| tripitakit | Hfreiu, not in my case | 01:53 |
| bruce89 | CaptainMorgan: no different to any other distro in that case | 01:53 |
| LogicFan | CaptainMorgan, of course. ubuntu can handle all server tasks. but really its the server software that is more important | 01:53 |
| Hfreiu | tripitakit, which version of ubuntu and how did you do it | 01:53 |
| CaptainMorgan | k | 01:53 |
| murilo | someone can help me with this problem http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4387/problemsv.png with fonts??? | 01:53 |
| tripitakit | Hfreiu, intrepid and i guess it's out of the box | 01:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | LogicFan, what do you think I'm talking about... ? it's the software I'm referring to... | 01:54 |
| LogicFan | CaptainMorgan, a buggy mail server isn't going to help you much if you run it on the most stable OS ever written | 01:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | ok | 01:54 |
| bruce89 | and Ubuntu is not that OS | 01:54 |
| Hfreiu | @tripitakit, it's not working for me. i chcked it in settings|preferences|chatting|alert | 01:54 |
| tripitakit | Hfreiu, i mean i dont remember if i had to swith it on in the preferences | 01:54 |
| Hfreiu | oh | 01:55 |
| Hfreiu | i'm 8.10 | 01:55 |
| Hfreiu | too | 01:55 |
| zenlunatic | Stepan1, no wonder they're the same... cdrom is linking to cdrom0 | 01:55 |
| CaptainMorgan | bruce89, is any? i've found ubuntu to be very stable, using it for more than five years now | 01:55 |
| LogicFan | Hfreiu, i have no idea. check settings>preferences>sound | 01:55 |
| tripitakit | Hfreiu, it is set as auto | 01:55 |
| zenlunatic | Stepan1, so screw them now all we have to care about is cdrom1 | 01:55 |
| Hfreiu | what am i checking for, logicfan? | 01:55 |
| bruce89 | CaptainMorgan: it's probably not the *most* stable | 01:55 |
| Hfreiu | I like ubuntu over fedora =P | 01:56 |
| CaptainMorgan | agreed Hfreiu | 01:56 |
| Stepan1 | zenlunatic: okay, hopefully its easy from here | 01:56 |
| LogicFan | CaptainMorgan, no offense, but if you're asking these kinds of questions seriously, you might not be the best person to run a mail/web server. unless its just a hobby. no mission critical kind of stuff | 01:56 |
| fearful | I love the package manager out of all I've tried :p | 01:56 |
| grinsys | I have mixed feelings. I love fedora for my mythtv boxes than using ubuntu. (using mythdora) | 01:56 |
| Hfreiu | meh i'll figure it out i gtg bye | 01:57 |
| CaptainMorgan | LogicFan, unnecessary comment maybe? I've run web servers for many years, and I run networks of all kinds- I've just never successfully setup a mail server before- that's it. | 01:57 |

| Clone1 | Im having an issue when i installed ubuntu, it installed onto my laptop and it didnt make me register a login, or password.. and when i load it up it asks for it.. :\ | 01:59 |
| fearful | Clone1, I'm sure it did when it asked you for your name etc. | 02:00 |
| LogicFan | Mr_Cheese, i didn't say it wouldn't allow him to, just that it might not be the best. again, my apologies if i offended any one | 02:00 |
| Mr_Cheese | Clone1, it would have asked you for your name and a password to use, chance are your user name is your name | 02:00 |
| fearful | Clone1, if not press alt + f2 and loging root shell and create a user adduser command | 02:00 |
| grinsys | or did it as you to pull your user accounts from a windows | 02:00 |
| Mr_Cheese | LogicFan, yeah thats ok | 02:00 |
| fearful | Clone1, ctrl + alt + f2 | 02:01 |
| grinsys | er from windows | 02:01 |
| zenlunatic | Stepan1, did you try putting the cd in the other drive? | 02:01 |
| Clone1 | I tried my window's login / password and that was a no go. | 02:01 |
| Clone1 | and whats the add user cmd? | 02:01 |
| Clone1 | by chance? | 02:01 |
| zenlunatic | useradd | 02:01 |
| LjL | fearful: err, if he doesn't know his user password, he's even less likely to know the root password - especially given ubuntu doesn't have one by default... no? | 02:01 |
| Clone1 | useradd Clone1 <pass>? | 02:01 |
| grinsys | I thought it was adduser | 02:02 |
| LjL | Clone1: use adduser (if you can access a shell at all) | 02:02 |
| LjL | Clone1: just type "adduser username" | 02:02 |
| fearful | LjL, yea that's ture :\ but Clone1 are you sure ubuntu didn't ask you for details on the install it should have. | 02:02 |
| Clone1 | Yeah | 02:02 |
| Clone1 | Im definantly sure, | 02:02 |
| LjL | Clone1: well i have no idea why it hasn't | 02:02 |
| LjL | Clone1: i can try to fix it, though | 02:03 |
| grinsys | did it ask you for the name and then the name of the computer? | 02:03 |
| Stepan1 | zenlunatic: yes, here is the result for the same cd but switched to the other drive | 02:03 |
| LjL | Clone1: do you get a brief boot menu screen when you start your computer, just before the ubuntu logo shows up? | 02:03 |
| Vacca_foeda | having some problems with my sound: my laptop speakers aren't working but my headphone jack sort of is. if i connect external speakers to my headphone jack and turn the volume on the external speakers up all the way i can hear it but its still pretty quiet...and before anyone asks, i already made sure that the volume on my computer is turned all the way up. any thoughts? | 02:03 |
| Clone1 | Yeah | 02:03 |
| Clone1 | It gives me an option, Longhorn Loader : Vista, and then Ubuntu | 02:03 |
| fearful | Vacca_foeda, make sure the PCM is all the way up | 02:03 |
| LjL | Clone1: ok, then in that menu, hit "e". it'll let you edit the Ubuntu booting options. select the longest line that you see, and hit "e" again. then add " init=/bin/bash" to the end of that line | 02:03 |
| LjL | Clone1: then finally hit "b" to boot. you should be dropped to a root terminal, where you can type "adduser username". then you can reboot (ctrl+alt+del or "exit"), and user that account | 02:04 |
| CaptainMorgan | I've never had to the serious need to setup an office mail server before, always outsourced that need to hosting providers- not even where I work professionally do we deal with mail servers. running through the docs, I'm getting the feeling that the mail server should be separate from production/dev server- yet the docs also imply that ubuntu can handle them both at the same time- maybe it's an issue with the docs | 02:04 |
| Dreamglider | can i tie the volume buttons on my laptop to the PCM instead of the Master audio ? | 02:04 |
| Clone1 | ok, im getting spammed with all the info, can we take it to a PM to clear it up a lil LjL? | 02:05 |
| LjL | Clone1: oh actually, type also "adduser username admin" to make your new user an administrator, you'll need that | 02:05 |
| fearful | Dreamglider, yes go to System > Preferences > Sound | 02:05 |
| LjL | Clone1: ok, you might want to write it down too | 02:05 |
| jimisrvrox | I need to reinstall nm-applet because I tried out wicd and wasnt too successful with it and I treid to look for it on the ubuntu cd and couldnt get it back on my wifes system | 02:05 |
| tripitakit | LjL, then he should give that new user sudoer permissions that i find a bit hard | 02:05 |
| Clone1 | yeah im grabbing paper / pen | 02:05 |
| Vacca_foeda | fearful: already checked the pcm | 02:05 |
| fearful | Dreamglider, theres the options at the bottom, you can choose one by ctrl + click and delesect one the same way | 02:05 |
| Vacca_foeda | is there a way to turn up the base volume? | 02:06 |
| fearful | Vacca_foeda, PCM + Master should be up | 02:06 |
| Vacca_foeda | fearful: both are up but its still really really soft | 02:06 |
| zenlunatic | Stepan1, do this and report 'ls -a /dev/scd* | 02:06 |
| LjL | tripitakit: it's not hard, "adduser username admin" will do that | 02:07 |
| bruce89 | tripitakit: which is done by adding to the admin group | 02:07 |
| Vacca_foeda | and nothing from the laptop speakers only the headphone jack | 02:07 |
| Stepan1 | zenlunatic: /dev/scd0 | 02:07 |

| tripitakit | LjL thats tha point, creating the user in the admin group | 02:08 |
| Dreamglider | fearful: the only listed slider is Master | 02:08 |
| LjL | tripitakit: why would it be hard? | 02:08 |
| tripitakit | bruce89, to add to admin he needs superuser permissions | 02:08 |
| LjL | tripitakit: you need superuser permissions to create *any* user to begin with | 02:09 |
| fearful | Dreamglider, what is the option on the dropdown menu you are using above it | 02:09 |
| tripitakit | LjL, just if he had created ad normal user | 02:09 |
| tripitakit | *as | 02:09 |

| fearful | Vacca_foeda, on a terminal type alsamixer -Dhw | 02:09 |
| tripitakit | LjL i see, and i agree.. i was arguing just about the new user permission | 02:10 |
| fearful | Dreamglider, try using the 'alsamixer' | 02:10 |

| sebsebseb | Clone1: and yes you can check the ISO in Windows | 02:23 |
| Clone1 | alrighty | 02:24 |
| LjL | Clone1: wait, you shouldn't have done that *from the CD*, but from your installation | 02:24 |

| LjL | !pastebin > largeprime (largeprime, see the private message from ubottu) | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | !pastebin | 02:24 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 02:24 |
| LjL | largeprime: open it with "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", then select all, copy, and paste into the pastebin | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: ok I don't have your name :D, but anyway at me doing it | 02:25 |
| bruce89 | don't bother with the gksudo but | 02:25 |
| Clone1 | Well when it was installing Ubuntu it didnt ask for login / password --- it just installed it :P | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | Clone1: how did you install it? | 02:25 |
| largeprime | http://paste.ubuntu.com/135742/ | 02:25 |

| Clone1 | Restarted laptop, and it booted from cd and installed it | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | Clone1: so you ddin't even try a Ubuntu session from the CD? | 02:26 |
| Clone1 | Like in vista? | 02:26 |
| Clone1 | like when it booted from pc? | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | Clone1: you can boot up a Ubuntu Live session from the CD | 02:26 |
| LjL | largeprime: ok the problem's not there, then it must really be in the medibuntu specific list. do "mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list ~/medibuntu.list.backup" to get it out of the way | 02:27 |
| LjL | largeprime: then try running "sudo apt-get update", and then see if synaptic works again | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | Clone1: by default it would boot that up | 02:27 |
| Closeyetfar | can you access an Ubuntu pc from a windows xp pc through remote access? | 02:27 |
| LjL | Closeyetfar: yes, using VNC for instance (although there are probably other ways) | 02:28 |
| sebsebseb | Clone1: Ubuntu can also be installed from inside Windows with Wubi, which I woudn't normalley recommend | 02:28 |
| tripitakit | Closeyetfar, use vino server and a vnc client | 02:28 |

| dubsteppz | Ndshacker: weird issue | 02:52 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, lspci will show your video card | 02:52 |
| Ndshacker | dubsteppz: i know lol | 02:52 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, then check if you have the right driver for it. | 02:52 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: how do i do that? if you don't mind my asking | 02:53 |
| Ndshacker | its only in apt-get as far as I can tell | 02:53 |
| Ndshacker | its going at 4 kb/s right now | 02:53 |

| Ndshacker | dub: its been liek this today | 02:54 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, are you experiencing any problems run the hardware testing to check your video card is working | 02:55 |

| DasEi | DrBanzai:see /etc/profiles for your actual settings | 03:02 |
| Ndshacker | hw can I let apt-get through quicker | 03:02 |
| bruce89 | Ndshacker: remove firestarter? | 03:03 |
| fearful | Try updating the driver, I don't know the actual driver tho you may have to gogole it | 03:03 |
| NachosTacos | hi guys | 03:03 |
| Ndshacker | but firestarter is a firewall >.< | 03:03 |
| Ndshacker | mmk fine >.< | 03:03 |
| Ndshacker | but it runs fast on startup, and nothing else is affected | 03:04 |
| maxagaz | how can i do to make it shut down completely ? | 03:04 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: i've updated what drivers i have, but i'm not sure if they're the right ones (specifically since the video doesn't work all that well). i tried googling, but i didn't find much. i was hoping someone here could help me pin down the correct driver for sure | 03:04 |
| bruce89 | Ndshacker: technically, it's not a firewall, it's only a frontend to one | 03:05 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: sorry I didn see you earlier. What is GDM? Iḿ a bit of a nube. | 03:05 |

| DrBanzai | BlackAeronaut: Does it list the BusID and the driver? | 03:15 |
| nickgarvey | cybertaur1: hey if that driver does solve your problem could you come back in here and tell me? I'm curious about the intel driver | 03:15 |
| === Atreus is now known as Atry | ||
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: I don think the drivers not being installed is the case. lspci shows that they're installed, but nothing in xorg.conf. DrBanzai: No it does not. | 03:16 |
| Khisanth | lspci just shows you what devices are connected | 03:16 |
| DasEi | manny: I#m not sure if ibex/nvidia already work better , but check http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_180.29.html | 03:16 |
| jackass1 | whats the best file system for a 1tb external hdd | 03:16 |
| Khisanth | a bit strange, generic vga driver should still work ... | 03:16 |
| manny | DasEi: i have that file but idk how to install | 03:17 |
| manny | it | 03:17 |
| manny | DasEi: | 03:17 |
| DasEi | manny: end of that link ^ | 03:17 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Okay. Just checked the log - it's empty. | 03:17 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: do the graphical interface come up on the livecd/installer? | 03:17 |
| Ndshacker | guys :| | 03:17 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: That was an issue for me before so I had to use the Alternate installer. | 03:18 |
| jackass1 | does anyone know what would be the best file system for a 1tb external harddrive? | 03:18 |
| DasEi | manny: copy that file to /usr , f.e. /usr/src | 03:18 |
| Ndshacker | ext3 | 03:18 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: heh that is proably related | 03:18 |
| manny | DasEi: ok | 03:18 |
| Ndshacker | guys! | 03:18 |
| jackass1 | what about ext4? | 03:18 |
| DasEi | manny: cd there | 03:18 |
| nickgarvey | jackass1: ntfs probably, assuming you will want to use the hard drive with a windows computer or an osx computer | 03:18 |
| jackass1 | is there a difference between ext2 ext3 and ext4 | 03:18 |
| DrBanzai | BlackAeronaut: This might be helpful: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html | 03:19 |
| Ndshacker | no they just gave them dif numbers for kicks ><] | 03:19 |
| bruce89 | jackass1: of course | 03:19 |
| Atry | Who, out of the 1300 people (good freaking god) wants to help me? | 03:19 |
| Ndshacker | guys, I need help | 03:19 |
| DasEi | manny: to be sure file is there : ls | 03:19 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Probably. It's been nothing but trouble with the drivers for this laptop. What bugs me the most is that others have sucessfully installed ubuntu on their A355D lappies. | 03:19 |
| nickgarvey | jackass1: the difference between ext2/3 is that fact that 3 has journaling which will help you when recovering from errors that may occur | 03:19 |
| manny | ok | 03:19 |
| arvind_khadri | !ask | Atry | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Atry: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:19 |
| manny | dasEi: ok | 03:19 |

| Atry | ahkay | 03:19 |
| DasEi | manny: type: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run | 03:19 |
| jackass1 | so whats ext 4 all about | 03:19 |
| Atry | problem is, it's more than one multiline errors | 03:20 |
| nickgarvey | jackass1: no idea, it's pretty new so I'm not using it yet | 03:20 |

| DrBanzai | jackass1: I used xfs on my 750gb drive | 03:20 |
| nickgarvey | jackass1: you should probably stick with ext3 before ext4 matures a bit | 03:20 |
| Atry | ah, pastie. duh | 03:20 |
| Ndshacker | FFS :| | 03:20 |
| jackass1 | so ext3 would work good then? | 03:20 |
| bruce89 | jackass1: yes | 03:20 |
| jackass1 | cool thanks guys | 03:21 |
| bruce89 | jackass1: mind, I'm using ext4 right now | 03:21 |

| Ndshacker | Guys, I need some help, apt-get runs at a snails pace, but the rest of my pc seems less affected, i know fo a fact that when I wake up, my pc will be 100% offline | 03:21 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: hmm got xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd installed? | 03:21 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: How can I tell for certain? | 03:22 |
| husong | ;; | 03:22 |
| arvind_khadri | Ndshacker, the repos you are using maybe slow | 03:22 |
| jase1 | how come "put display to sleep when inactive" doesnt work like it states it does. unless the desktop itself has focus it counts it as inactive. meaning any games i play wether they are in the repo or not end up making my monitor turn off | 03:22 |
| DasEi | manny : sudo cp /file/whereverItIs /urs/src | 03:22 |
| husong | hello,every body. | 03:22 |
| Ndshacker | arvind: it is all downloads on this thing | 03:22 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd :) | 03:22 |
| Ndshacker | and 3 kb/s ? give me a break | 03:22 |
| DasEi | manny : sudo cp /file/whereverItIs /usr/src ,sry | 03:22 |
| DrBanzai | jackass1: Ok, I chose XFS because I planned on storing movies. XFS handles large files well, check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS | 03:22 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Ahh. I am enlightened. ^ _^;; | 03:22 |
| Ndshacker | this has happened before too | 03:23 |
| arvind_khadri | BlackAeronaut, apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd will tell you whether its installed or not | 03:23 |
| nickgarvey | Ndshacker: if it's just apt-get change the server you pull files from | 03:23 |
| BlackAeronaut | Thanks arvind_khadri. | 03:23 |
| arvind_khadri | BlackAeronaut, np :) | 03:23 |

| Ndshacker | nickgarvey: i only have two choices, and both have done this | 03:23 |

| H4ck3r | yes | 03:34 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Thanks anyways for trying. I'm gonna investigate the possibility of X being confused by there being two different video drivers. | 03:35 |
| H4ck3r | I mean I want to change the system like this: | 03:35 |
| twolane | Ndshacker: networkmanager is a prime suspect too imho. | 03:35 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, do you have build-essential? | 03:35 |
| Atry | arvind_khadri: okay, did the sudo command, now what? | 03:35 |
| nickgarvey | H4ck3r: alright so the crypt function takes two arguments, the key and a salt, if the salt starts with $1$ it will use md5 | 03:35 |
| axisys | my point is it requires microsoft silverlight .. so what is the workaround? | 03:35 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: i think so | 03:35 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: both are loaded? | 03:35 |
| Ndshacker | networkmanager? | 03:35 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: check with lsmod | 03:35 |
| Ndshacker | its says its not installed :s | 03:35 |
| bruce89 | axisys: there isn't one | 03:35 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, apt-cache policy build-essential | 03:36 |
| bruce89 | axisys: unless you install moon in Jaunty | 03:36 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, check first ;P | 03:36 |
| H4ck3r | nickgarvey: I can generate a new user passwordwith md5 | 03:36 |
| manny | DasEi: its takin a while with the "sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-restricted-modules-generic" | 03:36 |
| twolane | Ndshacker: installed doesn't mean it works correctly :) | 03:36 |
| jase1 | how come "put display to sleep when inactive" doesnt work like it states it does. unless the desktop itself has focus it counts it as inactive. meaning any games i play wether they are in the repo or not end up making my monitor turn off | 03:36 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Okay. What exactly am I looking for here? | 03:36 |
| DasEi | manny : np | 03:36 |
| axisys | bruce89: moon? | 03:36 |
| Ndshacker | i sais "isnt" | 03:36 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: it says it's installed, 11.4 or something like that | 03:36 |
| Khisanth | well I don't know the names of your drives so it's a bit hard to say | 03:36 |
| arvind_khadri | Atry, ah just a sec, it should have been sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 03:36 |
| bruce89 | axisys: short for moonlight | 03:36 |
| Atry | also arvind_khadri: doesn't seem like the command did much. it --- that's what i was wondering :) | 03:36 |
| twolane | Ndshacker: ah. try it | 03:37 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, ok, did you unextract it already? | 03:37 |
| Ndshacker | how do i install it? | 03:37 |
| nickgarvey | H4ck3r: what are you trying to do exactly? be specific | 03:37 |
| H4ck3r | nickgarvey: but what i'm asking now is how to change ubuntu to use only md5 instead of sha2: for example: I typed $passwd and I changed my password. The new password will be $1$ in /ec/shadow instead of $6$ | 03:37 |
| axisys | bruce89: only available in jaunty? | 03:37 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: not yet but i can | 03:37 |
| Atry | arvind_khadri: invalid operation reinstall | 03:37 |

| Ndshacker | mmk | 03:37 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: done | 03:38 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, once extracted on the terminal cd to the directory and type ./configure | 03:38 |
| Ndshacker | i think i may have fixed it | 03:38 |
| Ndshacker | i told it to try dhcp | 03:38 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: did you make sure x is using the radeonhd driver or tried using the svga driver? | 03:38 |
| Ndshacker | but it was set to manual before | 03:38 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: and then make && make install? | 03:38 |
| twolane | Ndshacker: definetly try dhcp | 03:38 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: also done | 03:38 |
| cybertaur1 | woah | 03:38 |
| cybertaur1 | wait, errors | 03:38 |

| maxagaz | I have a Dell computer, when i reboot, the system hangs up with the message "Restarting system.", what can i do ? | 03:39 |

| twolane | Ndshacker: where did you set it | 03:39 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: "No package 'xorg-server' found". and apt-get install xorg-server "E: Couldn't find package xorg-server" | 03:39 |
| Ndshacker | in the conf file | 03:39 |
| sprinkmeier_ | maxagaz, sounds like ACPI. does shutdown work? | 03:39 |
| nickgarvey | H4ck3r: do you have a page that says what the difference algorithms are identified as in the shadow file, e.g. $1$ is md5 $6$ is sha2 | 03:40 |
| manny | DasEi: ok its done but along the line it said Fail | 03:40 |
| twolane | Ndshacker: what/which .conf? | 03:40 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, hmm.. | 03:40 |
| H4ck3r | yes | 03:40 |
| Khisanth | cybertaur1: xserver-xorg :) | 03:40 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: also ./configure had another error, "No package 'fontsproto' found", and i can't install that with apt-get either | 03:40 |

| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: no Driver line? O_o | 03:43 |
| axisys | bruce89: thnx | 03:43 |
| sprinkmeier_ | maxagaz, i asked if shutdown works and you replied "yes, probably". If shutdown works then ACPI is at least limping along (in which case you could always shut down and re-start instead of reboot). | 03:43 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Screwy, ain't it? | 03:43 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, hmm... ask around here maybe someone else can help because I don't know I don't have any of those installed either. | 03:44 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: heh try adding one :P | 03:44 |
| manny | DasEi : im goin to restart and see what i get. | 03:44 |
| manny | is that ok | 03:44 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, and we have the same video card :\ | 03:44 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: yay and video works no problem for you? | 03:44 |
| BlackAeronaut | Okay... Just not sure how itś supposed to look like. Been trying to find an example online. | 03:44 |
| maxagaz | sprinkmeier_, i misunderstood... shutdown doesn't work (unless shuting down manually) | 03:44 |
| arvind_khadri | Atry, hold on | 03:44 |
| Atry | Okies | 03:44 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Okay... Just not sure how itś supposed to look like. Been trying to find an example online. | 03:44 |
| DasEi | manny : I don't get what you've done, gotta be more specific | 03:44 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: Driver "radeonhd" should do it | 03:44 |
| fearful | cybertaur1, yea no problem at all not even back with 7.10 (when I first started using) | 03:44 |
| gartral | im getting permission denied by bash when trying to run a simple script out of my home dir, yet i own it | 03:44 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: if you don't get anything from that try Driver "vga" | 03:45 |
| bruce89 | gartral: chmod +x blah.sh | 03:45 |
| manny | DasEi:i did the a sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-restricted-modules-generic | 03:45 |
| BlackAeronaut | Okay, I'll try that now and see what happens. | 03:45 |
| gartral | bruce89: so it has to have execute permissions, ok | 03:45 |
| manny | DasEi: after activating the third party | 03:46 |
| sprinkmeier_ | maxagaz, darn, gotta run. sorry I can't hang around, but I don't know much ACPI so I probably wouldn't be a lot of use anyway. | 03:46 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: actually, you'll need the X headers | 03:46 |
| DasEi | manny : now check again system > hardwaredrivers for your nvidia, is it there now ? | 03:46 |
| nickgarvey | H4ck3r: when passwd.c is compiled, there are a bunch of macros that determine what algorithm it uses | 03:46 |
| gartral | thank you | 03:46 |
| cybertaur1 | bruce89: can you help me get them? | 03:46 |
| elvis | hi guys | 03:46 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: perhaps libx11-dev | 03:47 |
| manny | it says aleady newest version but the version i see is 173 | 03:47 |
| H4ck3r | nickgarvey: nvm, I just figured out we can use chpasswd with -c option to determine which kind of algorithm to be used | 03:47 |
| martin | hii | 03:47 |
| manny | DasEi: but i downloaded 180 | 03:47 |
| H4ck3r | nickgarvey: however , passwd doesnt support this | 03:47 |
| DasEi | manny : 180 ?? | 03:47 |
| cybertaur1 | bruce89: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev is already there | 03:47 |
| H4ck3r | nickgarvey: :) | 03:47 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: no dice. | 03:47 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: for either? | 03:47 |
| Khisanth | anything in the X11 log? | 03:48 |
| manny | DasEi: on the file | 03:48 |
| DasEi | manny : which file ?? | 03:48 |
| nickgarvey | H4ck3r: passwd doesn't support chpasswd or doesn't support the algorithm you want to use? | 03:48 |
| Ndshacker | ok guys, i got a big problem :|, who was helping me pre-reboot? | 03:48 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Haven found the appropriate line to put in for the radeon driver yet. | 03:48 |
| martin | hi im from the gnu staff | 03:48 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: what are you compiling? | 03:48 |
| martin | perhaps | 03:48 |
| martin | good nigth boys | 03:48 |
| martin | take care about | 03:48 |
| H4ck3r | nickgarvey: passwd doesnot support option for user to specify which encryption method to be used to encrypt the password | 03:49 |
| cybertaur1 | bruce89: i don't really know at this point. i think i'm trying to compile xf86-video-intel-2.6.0 from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ | 03:49 |
| cybertaur1 | bruce89: but i have an error "No package 'xorg-server' found" (i seem to have fixed the other error it was giving me) | 03:49 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: right under Section "Device" would be fine :) | 03:49 |
| Ndshacker | can anyone help me 1 on 1 ? | 03:49 |
| manny | DasEi: the one from Nvidia Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1 | 03:49 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: look at the build dependencies at http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/xserver-xorg-video-intel | 03:50 |
| arvind_khadri | Atry, seems like a bug, re-install again, but use a different cd | 03:50 |
| Atry | Yarr :( | 03:50 |
| DasEi | manny : check again system > hardwaredrivers for your nvidia, is it there now ? | 03:50 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: ignore quilt and debhelper | 03:50 |
| Jared | alright guys a few more problems | 03:50 |
| Jared | could use some help | 03:50 |
| Atry | arvind_khadri: well thanks anyways :) | 03:50 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: I know where it goes. Just not exactly what to put in there. | 03:50 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: xserver-xorg-dev | 03:50 |
| Khisanth | BlackAeronaut: well as I said before Driver "radeonhd" or Driver "vga" ... | 03:51 |
| Jared | im using the wiki to set up internet connection sharing, but in the config it doesnt mention how to use wifi. is there a set ethX that applies to wifi? | 03:51 |
| Khisanth | since you said there wasn't any Driver line in there currently | 03:51 |
| Jared | im networking my laptop to the net over wifi, and i plugged an ethernet cable into it to connect to the desktop so the desktop can get internet but i cannot find documentation for that | 03:51 |
| Jared | can anyone help? | 03:51 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Oh. Duh. ^_^;;; | 03:52 |
| brous | !ics | Jared try this first | 03:52 |
| Ndshacker | hello? i need some one on one help with a wireless problem | 03:52 |
| ubottu | Jared try this first: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 03:52 |
| bw_ | .net | 03:52 |
| Jared | i read that ubottu | 03:52 |
| cybertaur1 | bruce89: thanks, that got rid of some of the problems, but now i have another error: http://pastebin.com/m49a0c26 ("Requested 'libdrm >= 2.4.3' but version of libdrm is 2.3.1" if you don't want to click through) | 03:52 |
| brous | !ask | Ndshacker | 03:52 |
| ubottu | Ndshacker: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:52 |
| maxagaz | how to lock Alt+F4 ? | 03:52 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: That one doesn work either. | 03:52 |
| DasEi | manny : is your nvidia listet under hardwaredrivers now ? | 03:53 |
| brous | maxagaz-> try to remove tty4 entry in /etc/event.d | 03:53 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: it's asking for a newer libdrm than Intrepid has, you'd have to download and compile that also | 03:53 |
| BlackAeronaut | Khisanth: Damn, my break is up. I gotta go. Thanks for helping. | 03:53 |
| brous | maxagaz-> i read that wrongly... | 03:53 |
| BlackAeronaut | Gotta motor. Laters, all. | 03:53 |
| Khisanth | :) | 03:53 |
| Ndshacker | ok, I have a problem, my internet starts out fine, but slowly grows slower until after 6 hours, it is unbearble, i have a log of my startup, but i see very little wrong, when I boot up, two red erros flash by, but i cant manage to read them/ | 03:53 |
| Jared | i said i read the wiki but it didnt reference my situation :( thats why i came back here. | 03:54 |
| cybertaur1 | bruce89: sudo apt-get install libdrm says i'm on the latest one, and i just ran apt-get update & upgrade | 03:54 |
| bobbie4 | I like Ubuntu and Placebo | 03:54 |
| twolane | Ndshacker: read dmesg | 03:54 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: I know, but this package needs 2.4.3, Intrepid has 2.3.1 | 03:54 |
| bobbie4 | hi zlogger | 03:54 |
| Elijah | What is teh command to copy from a directory to the current directory " cp /directory/* / " | 03:54 |

| bruce89 | cybertaur1: in other words, it ain't going to happen unless you want to compile a new libdrm at least | 03:57 |

| cybertaur1 | bruce89: thanks a ton, by the way | 03:58 |
| cybertaur1 | fearful: you too | 03:58 |
| mneptok | amikrop: they are already compressed | 03:58 |
| brous | maxagaz-> cool, you found the solution | 03:58 |
| amikrop | mneptok: You mean, they'll end up 8.5GB? | 03:58 |
| mneptok | amikrop: i mean that naything that uses the .avi container uses a compression algorithm for the media. there is no need to compress it twice. | 03:59 |
| Jared | == WiFi --> Laptop -> ethernet cable -> Desktop(to get internet) == can anyone help me with this? the wiki on ics does not help. | 03:59 |
| amikrop | mneptok: But I will win space. | 03:59 |
| cybertaur1 | bruce89: sorry to keep asking questions, but is there a way to enable certain drivers over others? or does installing the driver automatically make it the one in use? | 03:59 |
| mneptok | amikrop: maybe a few megabytes for hours of CPU usage. | 03:59 |
| bruce89 | cybertaur1: don't know | 03:59 |
| mneptok | amikrop: but hey, it's not my time or equipment. go for it. | 04:00 |
| Atry | arvind_khadri: is it possible for it to be a HDD error? looking at there errors.... | 04:00 |
| brous | Jared-> what have you done so far? | 04:01 |
| amikrop | mneptok: ok | 04:01 |
| Jared | cybercentaur1: depends on the driver. some you can enable as default like with video drivers, but for others just installing overrides default drivers | 04:01 |

| brous | Jared-> is your laptop doing the dhcp or dolling out ip address to the desktop? | 04:05 |
| SherrifStu | lol wat a prude. | 04:05 |
| SherrifStu | later | 04:05 |
| Jared | brous -> im assuming it will be dolling out the ip address to the desktop, i need internet on the desktop and don't care much about the laptop having it. | 04:06 |
| BotLobsta | so when i press the button on my cd drive it doesnt eject it and instead i get an error saying that its not a volume or drive | 04:06 |
| brous | Jared-> and tell me again, which laptop is interfaced to your ISP? towards your local subnet? | 04:06 |
| densone | hi all. apt-get question. Is there a way to list the packages in a specific repository? | 04:06 |
| BotLobsta | i can still run eject /dev/cdrom though and it will work | 04:06 |
| brous | Jared-> dont assume anything, nothing is automatic | 04:06 |
| Jared | brous: the laptop is interfaced with the isp and able to get on the net via WIFI. im not really sure how to describe a subnet? | 04:07 |
| brous | Jared-> rather tell me again, which laptop interface is connected to your ISP? towards your local subnet? | 04:07 |

| Yomic | I have made a mistake. I deleted my ubuntu partition (from windows), but grub was installed on it. How can I recover my mbr? And I don't mind using grub. (I'm just going to use ubuntu in a VM instead of dual-booting) | 04:12 |
| bruce89 | !grub | 04:13 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:13 |
| Yomic | Thank you bruce : | 04:13 |
| brous | Jared-> now you need to set up a dhcpd server towards your desktop, so it can dole out ip address in the range of 192.168.0.X | 04:13 |
| bruce89 | actually, using GRUB without Linux is silly | 04:13 |
| Yomic | :)* | 04:13 |
| bosco | rww, says that Type 'http://wicd.sourceforge.net/' is not known on line 51 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:13 |
| bruce89 | Yomic: there's a way of reinstalling the Windows bootloader in the recovery console, but that's for ##windows | 04:13 |
| Yomic | bruce, doesn't matter. Either way, I'd like to not have to use my Super grub bootdisk as an MBR. | 04:14 |
| rww | bosco: your sources.list line should be: deb http://apt.wicd.net intrepid extras | 04:14 |
| rww | is it? | 04:14 |
| JohnTeddy | What is a good simple calendar program for Ubuntu, to remind of things I need to do on certain days of the month? | 04:14 |
| brous | Jared-> then you also have to do the forwarding and masquerading per the wiki instructions | 04:14 |
| twolane | Yomic: boot a windows cd recovery mode and use /fixmbr then re-install ubuntu | 04:14 |
| Yomic | rww, I know how to do that. My windoze cds aren't working | 04:14 |
| brous | JohnTeddy-> cron ? | 04:14 |
| Cpudan80 | Yomic: XP or vista | 04:14 |
| Yomic | XP | 04:14 |
| Cpudan80 | Yomic: floppy drive? | 04:14 |

| jacquesdupontd | tell me it now if nobody want's to answer my question i'll try to ask somewhere else | 04:14 |
| bosco | rww, yes it is lol checked it like 2 times | 04:14 |
| Yomic | *spit, vista* | 04:14 |
| JohnTeddy | brous: something gui | 04:14 |

| brous | Jared -> no guis, wireless is your wlan0, dhcpd is the dhcp server | 04:15 |
| Yomic | USB might work too. | 04:15 |
| Cpudan80 | Yomic: you need to boot off some kind of windows CD to do fixboot then fixmbr | 04:15 |
| brous | Jared-> i have to step out for a few, google for that dhcpd if you dont have it installed | 04:15 |

| _DEL | DasEi, the solid state is faster than the SD card | 05:33 |
| JKoltner | ladyfantasy: They're one-way hashes -- you need to run a dictionary attack and cross your fingers (a brute force attack realistically won't ever be fast enough) | 05:33 |
| DasEi | _DEL: so the 16 is an external sd, roger that, got you wrong in the beginning | 05:34 |

| JKoltner | ladyfantasy: That I don't know, sorry to say. | 05:34 |

| PryMaL | examancer: I can't help you then sorry! I use kde, different power managemnet | 05:40 |
| examancer | ah | 05:40 |
| brendon | I have a "directory" called /etc/acpi/battery.d | 05:40 |
| brendon | I'm in Hardy | 05:41 |
| brendon | is that the same? | 05:41 |
| examancer | yes. i have that too :-) i meant to copy a file to that directory (for a Load_Cycle_Count fix) and copied it overtop the battery file instead | 05:41 |
| examancer | brendon: i don't know if its different in 8.10 or not | 05:41 |
| brendon | let me check | 05:41 |
| bobbie4__ | my battery.d has two execute able files in it | 05:42 |
| mrsteveman1 | couldn't you just reinstall the package that provided these files | 05:42 |
| bobbie4__ | one is for HDPARM | 05:42 |
| === alanhaggai is now known as Guest83380 | ||
| examancer | mrsteveman1: i was installing a script. has nothing to do with a package | 05:42 |
| MrSunshine | sinc ei removed pulseaudio i need to remove ~/.smplayer/smplayer.ini each time i start a file to play, if i restart smplayer theres no audio, why? :/ | 05:42 |
| bobbie4__ | and the other is for something called Anacron | 05:42 |
| bobbie4__ | #! /bin/sh | 05:43 |
| bobbie4__ | # This script makes anacron jobs stop to run when the machine is | 05:43 |
| bobbie4__ | # unplugged from AC power, or suspended. | 05:43 |
| bobbie4__ | /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron stop >/dev/null | 05:43 |
| examancer | i copied the script overtop of the /etc/acpi/battery file | 05:43 |
| MrSunshine | this also includes when i change settings in smplayer | 05:43 |
| MrSunshine | like software volume stuff etc | 05:43 |
| mrsteveman1 | yes, but i presume that if /etc/acpi/battery is supposed to be there, it came from a package | 05:43 |
| examancer | oh. i see. i wonder how i could figure out what package uses that file | 05:43 |
| * bobbie4__ cries tears of anguish for examancer | 05:43 | |
| mrsteveman1 | i think aptitude or apt-cache can be used to show you what package provides a file | 05:44 |
| mrsteveman1 | but i can't recall the switch to do that | 05:44 |
| mrsteveman1 | try this | 05:45 |
| mrsteveman1 | dpkg --search /etc/acpi/battery | 05:45 |
| bobbie4__ | now I'm curious, what is anacron? | 05:45 |
| mrsteveman1 | anacron is a cron daemon | 05:46 |
| mrsteveman1 | probably the one ubuntu uses by default | 05:46 |
| Grantbow | bobbie4__: dpkg -l anacron | 05:46 |
| mrsteveman1 | there are a few of them | 05:46 |
| bobbie4__ | mrsteveman1: meaning? | 05:46 |
| mrsteveman1 | cron runs things at specific time intervals | 05:46 |
| MrSunshine | anyone? :/ | 05:46 |
| examancer | mrsteveman1: thanks :-) looking now | 05:47 |
| mrsteveman1 | for instance if you want a script to run every 15 minutes, cron can do that | 05:47 |
| MrSunshine | with pulse audio sound works but it goubles up 20% cpu, without it sound works if i each time i start smplayer remove smplayer.ini .. works perfectly in all other applications but i cannot set softvolume in them so i can get a volume boost | 05:48 |
| deepz | Anyone knows how to setup smtp server | 05:48 |

| A-KO | Does anyone have any information on how to create your own custom init script? Something basic, I've looked at ones that are there for other services and they're quite a bit complex. So if anyone has any good reading on the subject that would be great. | 05:49 |
| lamhiuman | I would like to ask if anyone had experience on vpnclient | 05:50 |
| deepz | I installed sendmail.. but i am getting smtp protocol error | 05:50 |
| deepz | !smtp | 05:51 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html | 05:51 |
| Diehardy | HOW DO YOU DO ACTION TEXT? | 05:51 |
| useruser | !smtp | 05:51 |
| mrsteveman1 | deepz: to setup an SMTP server you usually need a domain name, and your IP needs to resolve back to that domain name, or some mail servers will reject anything you send | 05:52 |

| examancer | omg. all that worrying for nothing... auto-completion stopped at /etc/acpi/battery not because there was a file named that, but because there is both battery.d/ and batterybtn.sh ... battery never existed so i overwrote nothing | 05:55 |

| SuperFireLord42 | MeXTuX, i seem to think it works fine, no restrictions i know of | 05:59 |
| SuperFireLord42 | MeXTuX, although i will admit, i only used it for one file that was for some reason a rar as apposed to a tar variant | 05:59 |

| rww | !rar | MeXTuX: there are a couple of different versions | 06:00 |

| trancefat | What is a tar and tar ball | 06:08 |
| LordKow | trancefat, a different kind of zip file basically | 06:09 |
| mrsteveman1 | deepz: might also be in /etc/mail | 06:09 |
| ladyfantasy | only it isn't compressed | 06:09 |
| lgc | trancefat, 'tar' is an acronym for 'tape archiver', which comes from Unix times. Tar, however, is a useful command to package whole directories into single files, the tarballs, actually. | 06:09 |
| LordKow | or it's just a ball of tar ;) | 06:10 |
| macman | .. hey all im trying to boot a live cd on a windows 95 machine 12mb f ram .. i want to save data that is in there .. should i give up on it or just try it ? | 06:10 |
| trancefat | lgc: so tarball is like a zipped folder? | 06:10 |
| lgc | trancefat, yep. Pretty much. | 06:10 |
| trancefat | lgc: and tar is th command to make tarball? | 06:10 |
| lgc | trancefat, indeed. | 06:11 |
| trancefat | lgc: thanks | 06:11 |
| ladyfantasy | trancefat: tar cvf filename.tar foldername | 06:11 |
| ladyfantasy | trancefat: and if you want to compress it, you can use "tar czvf" or just gzip the .tar file afterwards | 06:12 |
| lgc | trancefat, no problem. But tar can get quite sophisticated too. I don't know if zip can do so much. | 06:12 |
| LordKow | i would recommend using file-roller (the gnome archiver). it utilizes tar. | 06:12 |
| ladyfantasy | better yet, learn to use the commandline | 06:13 |

| drive | didik | 06:15 |
| arvind_khadri | pablo--, install the restricted ones | 06:15 |

| pablo-- | 3650 | 06:16 |
| arvind_khadri | pablo--, you googled about it?? | 06:16 |
| ladyfantasy | trancefat: no, you install .deb files with the dpkg command | 06:16 |
| lgc | trancefat, a .deb file is some sort of package that you feed to the 'dpkg' instruction in order to have in installed on your machine, nice and clean. As in 'dpkg --install chessman' (I just made up the name, though.) | 06:16 |
| pablo-- | yes, a lot | 06:16 |

| arvind_khadri | trancefat, ^^^ | 06:17 |

| lgc | macman, wouldn't it be easy to copy the stuff into the USB stick? | 06:25 |
| LordKow | josh-l, libqt4-core | 06:25 |
| lgc | macman, you don't need linux for that. | 06:25 |
| macman | i want to use it | 06:25 |
| macman | lgc, the windows box is to slow to do anything | 06:26 |
| josh-l | oh thanks LordKow how did you find it? | 06:26 |
| LordKow | josh-l, i searched in synaptic | 06:26 |
| lgc | macman, that's another story. | 06:26 |
| josh-l | LordKow: with what parametrs? | 06:26 |
| LordKow | josh-l, i simply searched for qt4 and started looking at the results until i found the package you were looking for | 06:27 |
| LordKow | josh-l, and i must say libqt4core should exist... libqt4-core is a "dummy" package but it should still get you what you are looking for. "sudo apt-get install libqt4core" will install the same thing | 06:27 |
| lgc | macman, if you want a really small linux you might want to try Puppy Linux or DSL (Damn-Small Linux). You might get some gain in speed there. But I suspect the machine is the culprit. | 06:28 |
| josh-l | LordKow: weird, maybe i already had it installed then thx | 06:28 |
| josh-l | LordKow: trying to build firefox-qt | 06:28 |
| LordKow | josh-l, sorry its libqtcore4 | 06:29 |
| lgc | Let me repost this: My boot process takes forever because starting the ntp server (or something like that) seems to almost grind to a halt. Is there a way to tweak this? Thanks. | 06:29 |

| eper3z | ? | 06:33 |
| LordKow | josh-l, when you run ./configure you need to specify --enable-application=something . I believe the something you are looking for is "browser" | 06:34 |
| pablo-- | omg | 06:34 |
| aaa | hello | 06:34 |
| LordKow | i have not built firefox for a long time but browser sounds right | 06:34 |
| pablo-- | spanish ubuntu page is a sh1t | 06:34 |
| aaa | anybody installed x-wrt on ubuntu? | 06:34 |
| lgc | bonez46, try an open source version: http://www.openfirmware.info/Welcome_to_OpenBIOS. | 06:34 |
| josh-l | okay I'll try that thank | 06:35 |
| josh-l | s | 06:35 |
| aaa | anybody installed x-wrt on ubuntu? | 06:35 |
| bobbie4__ | what is x-wrt? | 06:36 |
| bonez46 | lgc: thanks..I'll read up | 06:36 |
| aaa | x-wrt is web interface for router | 06:37 |
| lgc | bonez46, welcome. | 06:37 |
| aaa | instead installing it on firmware, i planned to install it on web server on ubuntu | 06:37 |
| aaa | any idea guys | 06:37 |
| maximo | http://www.pastebin.ca/1368844 | 06:38 |
| bonez46 | lgc: have YOU upgraded any BIOS on machines you depend on.. with OpenBIOS stuff? | 06:38 |

| roccity_ | whats going on | 06:39 |
| CaptainMorgan | using a terminal, since I'm remote, what's a good command to review the list of packages I've installed in the past 2-3 days... I'm looking for a couple to get rid of but I'm not sure of their names | 06:39 |
| lgc | bonez46, I probably wouldn't unless I had some sort of backup machine. | 06:39 |
| roccity_ | CaptainMorgan: I would use aptitude | 06:40 |
| gartral | i cannot play videos, with any player/cedec/driver combination i can think of... | 06:40 |
| lgc | !dvd >gartral | 06:40 |
| ubottu | gartral, please see my private message | 06:40 |
| gartral | lgc: lets start with videos on my drive first, i have all nessicary packages to *play* a dvd, if i could get usable video output | 06:41 |
| josh-l | LordKow: did firefox take foorever to build when you did last? | 06:42 |
| CaptainMorgan | thanks roccity_ | 06:43 |
| LordKow | josh-l, yep. | 06:43 |
| roccity_ | CaptainMorgan: yeah it good it uses ncurses | 06:43 |
| josh-l | LordKow: remember how long abouts? | 06:44 |
| josh-l | i mean should i go to bed :) | 06:44 |
| gartral | lgc, i cant even get videos on the web to play, i might see 1 or 2 minutes of video, then the output goes bad and i get garbage displayed | 06:44 |
| lgc | gartral, if you can't watch a video from your DVD reader then its codec stuff, most likely. The DVD page on the Ubuntu manual will tell you what you need to install in order to play DVDs. There's another !codecs page you might want to peruse. | 06:44 |
| gartral | lgc: would you stop it with the dvd crap already, ogg theora videos dont play | 06:44 |
| lgc | gartral, I'll stop it with you alltogether. | 06:45 |
| LordKow | josh-l, depends on how fast your computer is. | 06:45 |

| ubuntu_ | it doesn't like the way you talk to it?? | 06:55 |
| Daemon_ | Click should make sense to a computer | 06:56 |
| Daemon_ | At least it used too | 06:56 |
| Daemon_ | sometimes it was click clikc | 06:56 |
| ubuntu_ | mouse failure?? | 06:56 |
| gartral | Daemon_: are you compileing your own software? | 06:56 |
| Daemon_ | What do you mean am i compiling my own software? am i picking my own programs? | 06:57 |
| gartral | no, nvm, youed know what i was talking about if you were | 06:57 |
| ubuntu_ | gotta go. goodnight everyone. | 06:57 |
| gartral | i cannot play videos, with any player/cedec/driver combination i can think of... im not even trying dvds, these are videos off of my camera and off of wikipedia that i know work fine elsewhere, after a moment or two (depending in driver) i get unusable output | 06:58 |
| Daemon_ | But no my mouse is not failing it just simply ignores my commands | 06:58 |
| jack_ | helllo | 06:58 |
| Daemon_ | I tell it to install software..... nothing. I tell it to change a setting it takes foud reboots before the change is saved. | 06:58 |
| Daemon_ | **four not foud | 06:58 |
| gartral | Daemon_: you cant double click an icon on your desktop and have it open? | 06:59 |
| jack_ | Anyone can help me please?,just need to install VMWare tool under ubuntu | 06:59 |
| jack_ | I install Ubuntu 8.10 ,but when open console window,just simple non root user$ | 07:00 |
| Daemon_ | I don't have any programs on my desktop only in my menu bar and it only opens porgrams half the time. games seem to work but themes and colors and all the personalizing doesn't | 07:00 |
| gartral | !sudo | jack | 07:00 |
| ubottu | jack: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 07:00 |
| jack_ | what default root password for default 8.10 ubuntu? | 07:00 |
| Daemon_ | Internet is choppy, this chat server won't change rooms. | 07:00 |

| === arvind__ is now known as arvind_k | ||
| gartral | jack_: try it without the pipe | 07:02 |
| CaptainMorgan | I guess what I don't understand fully is why if I use sudo apt-get purge <package-A>, package A's folder still exists in /etc ... is this normal? granted the daemon has stopped running, but isn't purge supposed to remove stuff like a lingering folder in /etc ? | 07:03 |
| jack_ | Thank gartral,but how to change to root permanently?i need to get # promt:) | 07:04 |
| sloopy | jack_, sudo -i | 07:04 |
| gartral | !root | jack_ | 07:04 |
| ubottu | jack_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 07:04 |
| jack_ | Thank everyone :) really friendly and helpfull | 07:05 |
| gartral | jack_: keep in mind that while running as a superuser is fun, it isn't recommended, and really should be avoided unless you absolutly have to... | 07:05 |

| gartral | sloopy: it'll play a few moments then degrade, and the degredation isnt like artifacts or ill rendered frames, its total unusable output | 07:23 |

| seight | your're a "teacher" and you don't know? | 08:40 |
| _ruben | and furthermore, postfix doesnt do pop | 08:40 |
| Schmick | wrong answer. That's not a helpful answer. | 08:40 |
| === client03 is now known as glovan | ||
| flugh | you need a pop3 server. do an "apt-cache search pop3 daemon" to see a few available | 08:41 |
| Schmick | Stefano: try with sendmail.. it's the basis of mail transport. | 08:41 |
| Stefano | Schmick, thank u! But isn't a little older than Postfix or QMail? | 08:42 |
| Schmick | yes, but if you need to teach how to configure pop3, it will do the job. | 08:43 |
| Schmick | beside, in linux, old != bad | 08:43 |

| Schmick | Premi: have you tried to manualy mount it with "sudo mount ......." ? | 08:52 |
| Premi | what is sudo mount? what I need to write (exactly) and to where? | 08:53 |
| Ocol | I tried to do the steps as told and issue an iphone-mount, but it says that the folder isn't empty and if i'm sure I can do nonempty mount | 08:54 |
| Schmick | Premi: OK, Mounting a HDD is only for the administrator (root), that's why any command that need administrator rights have a sudo (superuser do) in front. | 08:54 |
| Schmick | now, mount is the program the puts your new hdd in the Filesystem. | 08:55 |
| Schmick | for instance, you might want your new drive in /mnt/newdrive | 08:55 |
| Schmick | or in /home/myuser/newdrive | 08:56 |

| Schmick | for that you need to know what the hdd physical location is, and where to mount it, and issue the command. | 08:57 |
| gartral | is there a way to make my computers built in system beep speaker generate a tone? | 08:57 |
| balrog__ | are there any packages that use projectM | 08:58 |

| Schmick | for instance "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home/myuser/newdrive" | 08:58 |
| Schmick | --> sudo mount <what> <where> | 08:58 |
| Schmick | to unmount, the command is "sudo umount <where>" | 08:59 |
| Schmick | homework, search in google and read "howto fstab", it will contain info on how to do all this at boot time, so you won't need to issue this commands yourself. | 09:00 |
| Schmick | extra bonus: every part of the filesystem has an owner, so, even after mounting the new hdd, you might not have right to it. So check also "chown" (change owner). | 09:01 |

| simplexio | unanxbt: 1Mb ... its hard to get 913kb on 512kb like | 09:59 |
| Schmick | nvidia and ati have restricted drivers. That is, the source code of them are closed for the public. For that, fixing problems regarding them is very difficult. | 09:59 |

| sybux | I need to run vmWare server on my Ubu 8.04 LTS. I've activated in the BIOS the VM support for the proc, but shall I need to install a special kernel ? | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !vmware | 10:38 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 10:38 |
| sybux | thx | 10:38 |
| ramavadakattu | iam getting following error (http://dpaste.com/hold/17882/) when doing "apt-get install build-essential" on ubuntu (Hardy). | 10:39 |
| HammerHead66 | tehbaut: goto "How Digital Hashes Work within GnuPG" ok | 10:39 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip: Please explain why it is necessary to install the DEB program package 'sound-recorder' in order to be able to test in Ubuntu a microphone in a headset. | 10:39 |
| ramavadakattu | Any hint on how to resolve that? | 10:40 |
| bullgard4 | chairon6x3: Yes, this is correct. | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ramavadakattu: sudo apt-get --reinstall install python-roman | 10:40 |
| ramavadakattu | ActionParsnip : thanks will try it | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: so you can hit record to see if sound is coming in as it will be recorded | 10:40 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip: I cannot find any button named 'muted'. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: if the app shows a reading and the file has a sond then the mic is working | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: im unsure what it is in gnome. I cant give you the exact wording, please apply some fuzzy logic | 10:42 |
| ramavadakattu | ActionParsnip : iam getting the error (http://dpaste.com/hold/17883/) when i did ( apt-get --reinstall install python-roman) | 10:42 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip / HammerHead66: looks like they match | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: cool, ok then look into bootoptions, you may have to disable acpi to get it installed | 10:43 |
| sybux | Regarding virtualization, is there a special kernel to run with or the standard 2.6.24-16-server is enough ? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ramavadakattu: cd /var/cache/apt | 10:43 |
| chairon6x3 | ActionParsnip: USB connectivity for headsets doesn't work with the capture method in the alsa mixer, I've tried several different devices with no avail. Alsa mixer only reads audio jacks as viable capture sources. | 10:43 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, where do I find bootoptions? | 10:43 |
| ramavadakattu | ActionParsnip: ok | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | tehbaut | 10:44 |
| ubottu | tehbaut: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ramavadakattu: in that folder someplace is the .deb for python-roman which you can reinstall with: sudo dpkg --force-all -i <deb file> | 10:44 |
| archman | ActionParsnip: hey, sorry, but you said you use lxde? | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | chairon6x3: i never understood headsets using usb, its none sensical to me | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | archman: aye | 10:45 |
| archman | ActionParsnip: I'm doing "chemistry" here :D:D How can I put a launcher to the panel for Pidgin if I don't have *.desktop for it? (and I tried on #lxde, but noone answers...) | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | archman: do you mean the app list in the bottom left? | 10:47 |
| archman | ActionParsnip: like, quicklaunch on xp, you know. | 10:47 |
| archman | ActionParsnip: those shortcuts | 10:47 |
| archman | ActionParsnip: how do you put 'em? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | archman: you need a .desktop for it, i thought it was a standard file | 10:48 |
| dman- | so with the 2.6.24 xen kernel, whenever i nc a dd over network to a lvm partition and it hits 100% and i ctrl c out of dd it seems to panic the kernel | 10:48 |

| ActionParsnip | archman: no idea, if it works i wouldnt question it, you may want to change theName[en_GB] to amarok too ;) | 11:01 |
| MrNaz | When aptitude asks me to press [y/n] to confirm installing packages, only the first char of what you type in is looked at. So, to make myself feel cool, I always type in "Yo!" as a response. | 11:01 |

| faeryan | Also at times I get to my desktop (without it asking for logins which is strange) and get to see my wallpaper and the endless loading icon with some gnome-panels that are trying to load. | 11:03 |

| amgarching | I was again locked out from firefox after a crash. Some of the sqlite databases were left locked (/home is an NFS filesystem). After making a copy of those and renaming back to original locks should have gone. And indded browser history and back button work again. However the google toolbar doesnt: no history neither any search result, just ignoring me. What elese could it be? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: thats a kernel panic | 11:08 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: I created a user but after some previous fiddling I got myself stuck in another situation so I'm trying to change my X settings like they were before. Will take a while. | 11:08 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: it will never progress beyond that | 11:08 |
| eternaljoy | ActionParsnip: I want the xubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso | 11:08 |

| archman | eternaljoy: http://www.xubuntu.org/get#intrepid ? | 11:09 |
| HammerHead66 | justinnfx: are you saying that when you booted your pc that there was no menu for linux to boot up? | 11:09 |
| lagann_ | archman, he's already left :-/ | 11:09 |
| archman | eternaljoy: http://hex1a4.net/xubuntu/mirror/releases/8.10/release/ | 11:09 |
| archman | lagann_ shame then ;) | 11:10 |
| justinnfx | HammerHead: Exactly | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | he's gone | 11:10 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: Thanks a heaps for that advice. I managed to log in a new user so it has to be something with my user settings. | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: indeed | 11:10 |
| faeryan | Most likely the leftovers from compiz which I removed and ppurged | 11:11 |
| HammerHead66 | are you sure you were looking when the screen was black and only showing text | 11:11 |
| justinnfx | I installed it to a its on drive, I have xp and vista on a a seperate drive also, and it shows up but don't boot | 11:11 |
| justinnfx | lol yeah | 11:11 |
| archman | ActionParsnip: still here? I can't sort out how to edit this ugly "minimize" button on the bar. Where or with what app to edit these? | 11:11 |
| tehbaut | ikonia, so any idea how to get ubuntu to boot without panicking? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: i'd recommend renaming the .g... based folder in the other home directory then loggin in as te old user, you will then get stock settings for your gnome apps, or you could use the new user and copy all your user data over and chown / chmod so you have access | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | archman: there is a theme changer in the menu some place | 11:12 |
| HammerHead66 | on the screen it should say press like F8 or something at the bottom of the screen somewhere to boot up linux | 11:12 |
| justinnfx | I have 3 hard drives, each with there own os assigned to them | 11:13 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: Will do, but I just noticed that whenever I try to open the start menu or right click for menu the gnome panels fade away only to be loaded again after a second. | 11:13 |
| justinnfx | so I know I didnt overwrite one | 11:13 |
| justinnfx | nope goes staright to vista boot menu | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: are you running compiz? | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | justinnfx | 11:14 |
| ubottu | justinnfx: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:14 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: Not on the new user. On the old one yes, but I removed everything with compiz* through apt | 11:15 |
| fommil | I've installed OpenLDAP and phpLDAPadmin... I entered a password when installing slapd, but now I don't know what the username is... anyone know what the default username is? (i've tried the usual suspects root, admin etc) | 11:15 |
| HammerHead66 | justinnfx: check Private message | 11:15 |
| faeryan | Though I read there might be a bug where it tries to load compiz still not enabling metacity as supposed to. | 11:15 |
| quang | a | 11:15 |
| archman | ActionParsnip: http://img242.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotd.jpg , and how to edit this menu entries but not to mess up "gnome menu"? | 11:16 |
| orchanin | на сервере uebuntu по руски говорят | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: ok cool, all those settings will reside in .gconf .gnome gnome2 etc, rename all that stuff then log in, you will get stock settings for gnome apps and you can reset up the apps, stuff like opera/mozilla/thunderbir/pidgin will have different folder for config so they will stand the same | 11:16 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: Managed to open firefox with a new user and it's now blinking the screen black and white, just like in my login screen earlier. | 11:16 |

| nado | Ginbuntu, a 64bit version is available on the adobe website | 11:37 |
| SlimeyPete | apelgate: does the 7.04 box have a network connection? If so, use synaptic. | 11:37 |
| apelgate | ziroday: It's not possible on this production environment. Do I need to download them somewhere? | 11:37 |
| SlimeyPete | if not, use packages.ubuntu.com | 11:37 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: not sure what you mean by grouping issue | 11:37 |
| apelgate | ah | 11:37 |
| apelgate | cool. I will try that | 11:37 |
| ziroday | SlimeyPete: 7.04 is EOL | 11:37 |
| ziroday | !eol | apelgate | 11:37 |
| ubottu | apelgate: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !7.04 | 11:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 11:37 |
| WalterMundt | random question: I'm trying to do some Theora dev work on Jaunty alpha, and it seems some files are missing from the package; where should I ask about this? | 11:37 |
| ziroday | apelgate: seriously, you need to upgrade :) | 11:38 |
| nado | 64bit flash plugin beta : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 11:38 |
| ikonia | WalterMundt: mail the package maintainer or #ubuntu+1 | 11:38 |
| andrey_ | Здарова | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !jaunty | WalterMundt | 11:38 |
| tehbaut | well what is sdd anyway? anything special? why would it skip from sda to sdd? | 11:38 |
| ubottu | WalterMundt: 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. | 11:38 |

| faeryan | Back. Definitely no "acpi=off". | 11:38 |
| ziroday | WalterMundt: or #ubuntu-motu | 11:38 |
| WalterMundt | ziroday: I'll ask in both | 11:38 |
| ViperMax | Hi, When I installed ubuntu a question popped up that if I want automatic login. Where after installation I can change this option?? | 11:39 |
| tehbaut | ikonia, so what's that mean in the bigger picture? | 11:39 |
| faeryan | Wonder if this might be an issue with my graphics card. Already ordered a new one that's supposed to be here tomorrow. | 11:39 |
| ziroday | ViperMax: System > Administration > Login Window | 11:39 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: nothing, it's just a device file | 11:39 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: can you explain what you mean by "grouping" issue a little better/clearer please. | 11:40 |
| nado | ViperMax, you need to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 11:40 |
| Pica | 11:40 | |
| ViperMax | thanks ziroday. Do you know which config file, if I want to do in mannually in the future? | 11:40 |
| ziroday | ViperMax: nado just told you :) | 11:40 |
| nado | ViperMax, sudo /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 11:40 |
| ikonia | nado: that's not a command | 11:40 |
| ViperMax | thank nado | 11:40 |
| ikonia | nado: you need an editor | 11:40 |
| tehbaut | ikonia, grouping both USB drives into one as: /dev/sdd | 11:40 |
| ziroday | ViperMax: you need to do sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 11:40 |
| nado | ViperMax, sorry sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 11:40 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: how do you know it's grouping both as /dev/sdd | 11:40 |
| nado | ViperMax, or whatever editor you like | 11:40 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: can you take a screen shot ? | 11:40 |
| ViperMax | I use nano-- thanks guys | 11:41 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: 2 devices can't share the same device file | 11:41 |
| tehbaut | ikonia, I'm looking at it in GParted, there's only two drives in the dropdown: sda and sdd | 11:41 |
| nado | ViperMax, at the top of the file after the comments there are 2 lines to do that | 11:41 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: ok - sda will be your internal drive, sdd will be one of the externals | 11:41 |
| faeryan | I could install a clean intrepid system using my current /home directory to save the files, but wouldn't that cause a lot of troubles/worries/conflicts when trying to install stuff on a new system and not everything is available anymore. Been using this system since 5.04 version | 11:41 |
| tehbaut | and both USB drives are listed as a partition with the other drive | 11:41 |
| SlimeyPete | ziroday: I know it's EOL, but you can still get packages for it | 11:41 |
| Jasi | hallo | 11:42 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: can you take a screen shot as that's not making any sense | 11:42 |
| tehbaut | ok... how do I do that? just printScrn? | 11:42 |
| ziroday | SlimeyPete: sure, but not through synaptic unless you add the old-releases archive. And downloading each pacakge individually from packages.u.c is impractical | 11:42 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: applications -> accessories -> screenshot | 11:42 |
| ViperMax | I found it AutomaticLoginEnable=true/false | 11:42 |
| nado | ViperMax, yes that's right. And set the default login on AutomaticLogin= | 11:42 |
| ViperMax | thnx nado | 11:43 |
| tomcyl | ActionParsnip, my firefox still not work, all button not working (in grey) | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: ok try this: killall firefox; mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old; firefox & | 11:45 |
| === ziroday` is now known as ziroday | ||
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: you will get a stock firefox profile but we have the old one backed up | 11:45 |
| tomcyl | i trying | 11:46 |
| tomcyl | thanks | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: if the new profile works you have 2 options, rebuild a fresh profile or rename back and troubleshoot the faulty profile | 11:46 |
| tehbaut | ikonia: http://www.picturepush.com/host.php?image=1516505 | 11:47 |
| faeryan | What if I were to copy my root dir from a fresh Ibex install over my current non-working install and see if it works. What do you guys think; a doomed attempt or no? | 11:47 |
| tomcyl | it look new, but work | 11:47 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: that's two partitions on the same disk | 11:47 |
| tomcyl | thanks | 11:47 |

| tehbaut | ikonia, I promise you it is not | 11:47 |
| gaminggeek | ziroday: hmm not really a change | 11:47 |
| gaminggeek | main problem is they are a bit small | 11:47 |
| ziroday | gaminggeek: can you take a screenshot? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: look at the sizings it is | 11:47 |
| tehbaut | my first USB drive is 200GB, the other is only 76GB | 11:47 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: yes, and this is showing the 76GB disk | 11:48 |
| Guest9929 | ima li makedonci? | 11:48 |
| tehbaut | I dont even know where the unallocated 125GB is coming from | 11:48 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: it's MEG | 11:48 |
| gaminggeek | ziroday: they are just a little small | 11:48 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: not GIG | 11:48 |
| babo | i have write access to a directory and rwx to a file in the directory. i can't delete that file though. why not ? | 11:48 |
| tehbaut | ahhh, I'm blind | 11:48 |
| gaminggeek | can I make it so only chinese is a bit bigger? | 11:48 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: it's your EFI boot table thats got 200meg | 11:48 |
| tehbaut | ok, so I need to find that unpartitioned disk then and partition it? | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: your stored passwords / faves are in the old profile, you could rename it back in and export them somehow. i'm unsure of how as i dont use firefox that much | 11:49 |
| Act1 | hello | 11:49 |
| ziroday | gaminggeek: I think that could be what they're meant to be (but not sure). AFAIK nope, you can't make only the chinese character bigger. The nice folks in #ubuntu-cn might know though. | 11:49 |
| gaminggeek | alright thank you | 11:49 |
| tehbaut | or is there a way to pick up its id (the /dev/sdb)? | 11:49 |
| ziroday | Act1: Hi!, is there a problem we can help you with? | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: sudo fdisk -l | 11:49 |
| sei | hello | 11:49 |
| ikonia | tehbaut: correct | 11:49 |
| Ginbuntu | how do you enable colors in gnome-terminal just like in putty? | 11:49 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, is that L or 1? | 11:49 |
| tehbaut | or i | 11:49 |
| sei | unsure | 11:49 |
| faeryan | It's L | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ell | 11:50 |

| Act1 | ziroday mb | 11:50 |
| ziroday | Act1: mb? | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: ell for List | 11:50 |
| Act1 | may be | 11:50 |
| tehbaut | so do I still need to partition, or will dd do the clone verbatim? | 11:50 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, gotcha | 11:50 |
| ziroday | babo: can you change owners? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !clone | 11:51 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm, not quite | 11:51 |
| tomcyl | thanks a lot , i got it | 11:51 |
| tehbaut | ubottu, that's confusing | 11:51 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:51 |

| === wax is now known as Guest93955 | ||
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: it doesnt apply either | 11:51 |
| babo | ziroday, i own the file and the directory | 11:51 |
| faeryan | Now if I understood anything about what ubottu said it might work for me. | 11:51 |
| tehbaut | dd would work though, right? | 11:51 |
| === Guest93955 is now known as wax_ | ||
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: its how to get your package list and use it to install the same packages on a different system | 11:52 |
| ziroday | babo: and when doing rm <file> it says Permission Denied? | 11:52 |
| Act1 | i cat found GUI ftp server... can help?) | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: sure would, you may have to install grub to the boot sector | 11:52 |
| tehbaut | hmmm, well my unpartitioned disk isn't being listed by sudo fdisk -l | 11:52 |
| Jaikkuli | what is a hotkey to safely shutdown or reboot ubuntu, with no further prompts, just shut down | 11:52 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: Yeah. I was wondering whether I should just install a fresh system. I got my /home on another partition. Just not sure how much I would lose in the installed programs and such. | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Act1: why do you need a gui, just use your local users as authentication | 11:53 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, grub to the boot sector of the unpartitioned disk? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Act1: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/settingup-an-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-with-proftpd.html | 11:53 |
| Jaikkuli | someone, a shutdown or reboot key combination in ubuntu? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: after the dd it may be needed on the new disk | 11:53 |
| Act1 | ActionParsnip mm, mb not gui... i need see who, that download at this time | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Act1: you can enable loggin and read the logs | 11:54 |
| Act1 | reading logs not good... | 11:54 |
| simplexio | Jaikkuli ctr+alt+del if you havent rmeoved it. or if X is slow ctrl+backpace | 11:54 |
| ziroday | Jaikkuli: you can do SysRQ+Alt+REISUB but thats not really what you want. You could alias a hotkey to the "sudo shutdown now" command but that might not close everything nicely | 11:54 |

| Jaikkuli | thanks all | 11:55 |
| ziroday | tomcyl: you can safely ignore that warning. | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: dd doesnt care, its a bit by bit copy | 11:55 |
| tomcyl | ok | 11:55 |
| faeryan | brb | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: the wine repo guide has a command to import the key | 11:55 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, I meant in regards to the grub requirement | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 11:56 |
| Lint | is there a way to mount file as filesystem? | 11:56 |
| Act1 | so, no ideas? | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/Scott%20Ritchie.gpg | 11:56 |
| simplexio | Lint: yes.. mount -o loop file.iso target | 11:56 |
| babo | ziroday: when doing a rm myfolder/myfile.sh it says permission denied | 11:56 |
| ziroday | babo: how odd, what about doing it with sudo prepended? | 11:57 |
| quibbler | babo, use sudo | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Act1: why is reading the logs not good, it will tell you when folks log in, what folders they traverse and what files they downloaded and at what average speed | 11:57 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, I'm going to assume grub will not be needed, as I'm just running off a live cd | 11:58 |
| tehbaut | don't intend to dual boot | 11:58 |
| tehbaut | that's what it's for, right? | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: the drive will need a boot sector | 11:58 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, won't that get cloned from the existing disc? | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | thebinz: the OS needs a bootloader, thats what grub is for | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | thebinz: even if you only have ubuntu installed you still must have a boot loader | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: thats why i said "may need to" | 11:59 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, so you're saying there's a chance that hte boot sector could not get cloned? | 12:00 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: The problem I described earlier doesn't stem from Ibex not working with my hardware since a fresh install on different partition seems to work ok. Updating the files and installing restricted display drivers to see where the problem occurs. | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: possibly, but grub can easily be installed and configured | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: you will have to investigate a little to see whats going on | 12:00 |
| faeryan | That's what I've been doing for 2 days now. :) One more doesn't hurt. | 12:01 |
| freddy__ | newbee: how do I install danish translation and keyboard on newly installed ubuntu studio ? | 12:01 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip, and grub works regardless of the fact that only one OS is installed? | 12:01 |
| guvil | Not working | 12:02 |
| tehbaut | so if fdisk isn't listing my disk, how do I get to it to clone or partition it? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: i single boot all my systems and use grub | 12:03 |

| guvil | hello | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !ultimate | bonez46 | 12:03 |
| ubottu | bonez46: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition | 12:03 |

| tomcyl | other thing, if i activate my nvidia graphic driver, my openoffice manuel can not see | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | bonez46: torrents allow multiple sources of data rather than a single server | 12:03 |

| guvil | I cannot chat using any of the browsers on ubuntu. Can any of U help me out? PLZ | 12:05 |
| Lint | bonez46, not all ftp servers supports resuming | 12:05 |
| guvil | hello | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bonez46: torrent clients can be configured to use less bandwidth using settings or bandwidth scheduler | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | whitehat: depends on your CP, ram amount and main system use | 12:05 |
| ziroday | bonez46: the reason torrents are "better" is because it utilizes P2P technology so that you don't download the file from the server, but instead from hundreds of people across the globe. And unlike normal servers where the more people that download the slower it goes with bittorrent the more people who download the faster the download goes | 12:05 |
| tomcyl | Plz | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | tomcyl: cannot see what? | 12:06 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: usualy i'll use it for audio and video encoding | 12:06 |

| ActionParsnip | whitehat: 64bit will benefit you greatly | 12:06 |
| tomcyl | buttons | 12:06 |
| whitehat | ya but is this available on the repo? | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | whitehat: there are 64bit apps on the repo | 12:07 |
| faeryan | Any reasons for not choosing 64bit? Programs that won't work and such? | 12:07 |
| faeryan | Been pondering that myself too | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: they are all fine, java can be a pain in 64bit | 12:08 |
| tomcyl | menus ＆ button | 12:08 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: how about the cheese, skype, flash is all available in the repo? | 12:08 |
| DIFH-iceroot | faeryan: sometimes there are provlems with drivers (chipset, wifi) | 12:08 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: ya the java | 12:09 |
| arvind_khadri | whitehat, every app thats there for 32 bit would be there for the 64bit | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | if you are shooting for skype i'd use 32bit, skype is garbage at best so i' pander to the fact that the client is 32bit only | 12:09 |
| faeryan | Ow.. Cause I'm fine with having 32 bit system. No actual reason for me to switch | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !skype | 12:09 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 12:09 |

| tehbaut | so is there no way to get to my unpartitioned disk? | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: how do you mean? | 12:10 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: That I should really learn. Hardy worked nicely for me but I wanted Ibex and I'm swcrewed now. | 12:10 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: wel my reason for switch is bcoz of my 4gig ram only reads as 3.5gig in 32bit | 12:10 |
| tehbaut | it's not formatted at all, but the disk isn't showing up in GParted either | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | whitehat: then 64bit for you | 12:10 |
| tehbaut | nor via fdisk | 12:10 |
| arvind_khadri | whitehat, its the same everywhere :P | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: does it show up in bios, is it referenced in the output of dmesg | tail | 12:10 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: well gona try how abut adobe flash is available too? | 12:11 |
| arvind_khadri | whitehat, it also depends that how much ram your motherboard can support | 12:11 |
| tehbaut | dmesg | tail via the bios? | 12:11 |
| arvind_khadri | whitehat, yes | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | whitehat: there 64bit flash now :) | 12:11 |
| faeryan | Can I install a fresh ubuntu system over my current system in hopes of making it work and still preserve some old config .bak files. | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: no, check bios first to make sure it shows the drive, if it does, boot to linux then read through dmesg | less | 12:12 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: wew thats nice, ya thats hwat the dmidecode says | 12:12 |
| tomcyl | ActionParsnip: if i deactivate the driver, open office looks ok | 12:12 |
| stdin | faeryan: if you use the manual partitioning option you can choose not to format | 12:12 |
| tehbaut | I'm just going to take the drive back into windows and partition it | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: just backup your setting files and user data | 12:12 |
| tehbaut | will the filesystem be replaced with that of the cloned source? | 12:12 |
| faeryan | stdin, Right, and there's a chance the system will work still? :) | 12:12 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: if i install 32bit apps on 64bit will it run fairly? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: partition it but dont format it | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | whitehat: sure, there is ia32libs that can handle 32bit apps in 64bit' | 12:13 |
| faeryan | ActionParsnip: The ones on /home dir or are there much more? Cause I was thinking like old source.list backups and such that I have loads in my root dir. | 12:13 |
| stdin | faeryan: all the system files/applications/settings will be reset, but your personal setting will still be there | 12:13 |
| babo | what's a linux second extended file system ? | 12:13 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: where can i find that ia32libs? | 12:14 |
| Lint | pretty old unsafe file system | 12:14 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: will i install it? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | faeryan: you can copy those too, if you use samba then backup /etc/smb/samba.conf | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | whitehat: its on the repo and is optional | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | whitehat: so you will need to manually install it | 12:14 |
| whitehat | ActionParsnip: yes gonna try it now....60% downloading ty bro | 12:15 |
| stdin | faeryan: you can probably backup all of /etc, it's mostly just plain text files | 12:15 |
| stdin | use tar so it preserves permissions etc | 12:15 |
| faeryan | I'm going to have a shot at that. Making that synaptic package list before and first seeing if I get everything working on this clean install., | 12:16 |

| dr_willis | its just giveing you common 'places' to mount parittions to justinnfx | 13:10 |
| Imahilus | justinnfx: don't know enough about the situation to help you, and I'm clueless about what mountpoints are aswell | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | !mount | 13:11 |

| justinnfx | I am just installing and I creating a new partion in manual | 13:11 |
| Imahilus | justinnfx: though I'm sure there is plenty of documentation out there to tell you what it is | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | justinnfx: then you use that parittions 'name' as the location for / - if you made a sda1, tell it to mount / to sda1 | 13:11 |
| justinnfx | could it be that im using kubuntu that you dont know what im talking about | 13:11 |
| chris_ | fr | 13:11 |
| Imahilus | dr_willis: makes sense | 13:12 |
| paradroid | justinnfx: Imahilus: Mountpoints are (simplified!) what under Windows is C: or D: etc. - they are the "places" where "devices" point to, e. g. the first partition of a harddisk /dev/sda1 is mounted at /media/stuff | 13:12 |
| ubuntistas | what does that mean? Supports transcoded video format | 13:12 |
| Imahilus | paradroid: much appreciated | 13:12 |

| paradroid | Imahilus: You can mount any device at any "directory". | 13:12 |
| Imahilus | paradroid: figured as much, you see that you can learn a lot more in here than the class I missed this morning =P | 13:13 |
| tehbaut | paradroid, good thing I've got a few trillion HDD enclosures laying around | 13:13 |
| paradroid | Imahilus: So you could mount a USB-stick at /home/username/my_stick and have the stick's contents displayed in that directory | 13:13 |

| tehbaut | so... now I've got my drive loaded up, and it consists of one allocated but unformated partition... am I ready to clone my mac drive to it? :P | 13:14 |
| Imahilus | justinnfx: doing it manually is for the people that know exactly what they're messing with, yes | 13:14 |
| justinnfx | The only reason im doing it manually is its giving me an error the other way | 13:15 |
| flips1 | Hi. On the UNR pages it claims that UNR Hardy will erase the contents of my HDD. Is that true for the UNR Jaunty Daily image as well, or will I be able to install to the partition of my choice, without deleting unwanted data? (Like in regular ubuntu installs) | 13:16 |

| riker23423 | Hi there. How much can I trust someone who has a ppa archive at lauchpad. I need glusterfs 2 for hardy and I have found one ppa archive having it https://launchpad.net/~onestone/+archive/ppa for user onestone but how much can I trust this source? | 13:19 |
| fabio | 9.04 stands for (9 2009, 04 april) | 13:19 |
| riker23423 | I need to use this package in a production environment | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | riker23423: as much as you trust any other repo, there could be anything in the package, it could be fine, or not, its the risk of ppa | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | riker23423: if you want to be truely 'safe' use source i guess. | 13:20 |
| raven | hi - i am trying to encrypt my system. therefor i shall make new partitions - one of them /boot. is this the place Grub is in?? | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | riker23423: usually they are completly fine, but the internet is weird and wonderful and you are right to be wary | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | can one encrypt /boot/ ? | 13:21 |
| fabio | raven: gparted for new partitions | 13:21 |
| Myrtti | dr_willis: no | 13:21 |
| riker23423 | but is there a mechanism for taking people into such ppa in lauchpad is is it just a simple signup procedure | 13:21 |
| raven | fabio yes but i do not want to do this and i think this is not necessary because grub still is on my windows partition and this is the boot part | 13:22 |
| tehbaut | dd supports 48-bit LBAs now, right? | 13:22 |
| durt | riker23423, I'd consider ppas to be mostly alpha. Doubt if anyone is doing anything nefarious, but I wouldn't bet my job on it. | 13:22 |
| raven | could this be right? | 13:22 |
| riker23423 | I don't want to use the sourcecode and/or don't want to build my own packages | 13:22 |
| riker23423 | because I don't want to mess my production systems | 13:22 |
| raven | dr_willis that is the question - do you have experience with encryption? | 13:23 |
| Kimi | Hello | 13:23 |
| durt | riker23423, If your going to use new software wouldn't you test it before hand? | 13:24 |
| Kimi | In ms excel , type all the cells and press alt + = will give the sum ..... whats the similar to this open office ? | 13:24 |
| Kimi | iMatter Are you there ? | 13:25 |
| riker23423 | durt, you are right but this software is already very mature | 13:25 |
| riker23423 | i just need to get way to cleanly install and use it | 13:26 |
| ubuntistas | what does that mean? Supports transcoded video format | 13:26 |
| riker23423 | it's glusterfs2.0rc4 | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | raven: aparently one does not want to encrypt /boot partition. :) | 13:26 |
| Imahilus | encrypting the boot partition... could be fun | 13:27 |
| durt | riker23423, meh, If I was in your shoes and I had not used it before I'd test first no matter how mature. | 13:27 |

| wookienz | when starting in run level two, does it go through run level one firt/ | 13:27 |
| wookienz | first/ | 13:28 |
| raven | dr_willis not sure - truecrypt for example made some kind of bootloader for itself and only after entering the pw the system loader appeared - so perhaps that's similar | 13:28 |
| raven | but you're right i do not want to do some experiments ;) | 13:29 |
| riker23423 | durt, yes indeed you are right but the systems don't have to be up 24/7 . the version is good for my need even if I get some downtime but I can't afford to use software from untrusted sources | 13:29 |

| tehbaut | what's it depend on | 13:31 |
| raven | tehbaut ~80 minutes | 13:31 |
| kitche | tehbaut: depends if your cloning the whole drive or just the data | 13:31 |
| raven | right | 13:31 |

| Ubuntu4u2 | Then I open skype and right click on it from tool bar I get: | 13:36 |

| Ubuntu4u2 | Options--:Video Devices AND THEN "test window" NOW I CAN SEE my video. | 13:36 |
| Ubuntu4u2 | I think what is happening is tv turner is over riding something inside? Or maybe I need to tell skype to use this web cam only? But I don't know how it is do or what I really must do. | 13:37 |

| BlueAidan_work | I have 3 partitions setup, /boot and encrypted / and /home. I somehow got into a situation where I could not mount /home successfully, so I popped in an install cd and tried to recover. | 14:06 |
| marko-_-- | it doesn't matter what i'm using, the sound isn't working of i use OSS or alsa or pulseaudio | 14:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | anyone here knows how to use gnome subtitles? i downloaded it but i can't seem to figure out how to use it and i can't find a wiki | 14:06 |
| BlueAidan_work | I think I accidentally overwrote the encryption info or something for /home, because now it's not being recognized as a valid ext3 filesystem. | 14:07 |
| HammerHead66 | marko-_--: try to kill pulseaudio | 14:07 |
| BlueAidan_work | I've tried using fsck.ext3 with all of the superblocks shown by mkfs.ext3 -n, but none of them work. | 14:07 |

| BlueAidan_work | I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery . I'm mostly concerned with recovering some pictures I hadn't gotten around to uploading to the web yet. | 14:08 |
| erUSUL | BlueAidan_work: well the fact that the partitions are encryted does not help at all | 14:08 |
| BlueAidan_work | which method is the most robust: foremost, scalpel, magic rescue, photorec or recoverjpeg? | 14:08 |
| JuJuBee | jrib: any ideas? | 14:08 |
| BlueAidan_work | erUSUL: I realize that... | 14:08 |
| oliver_ | erUSUL, $ export PATH="~/dsss/bin;$PATH" | 14:09 |
| jrib | JuJuBee: nm-applet in the notification area should give you a list of wifi networks in 8.10, if it doesn't I don't know | 14:09 |
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone tell me how to increase screen contrast | 14:09 |
| erUSUL | oliver_: path is set on /etc/environment but the esiest way to recover is jst to close the current shell and start another one | 14:10 |
| jrib | oliver_: should be a ':', not a ';' | 14:10 |
| erUSUL | oliver_: the change you did is not permanent | 14:10 |
| brous | JuJuBee-> or try sudo iwconfig wlan0 to see AP's | 14:10 |
| BlueAidan_work | hmm, I just realized that if I changed the encryption key or whatever for that partition by accident it'll just be reading garbage from the drive. Sigh... | 14:10 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Help I can't kill a process from the system monitor | 14:10 |
| brous | JuJuBee-> rather try sudo iwconfig wlan0 scan to see AP's | 14:11 |
| oliver_ | erUSUL, yes, I know it should be ':' but how to make it permanent? edit /etc/environment ? | 14:11 |
| brous | CostaRicanQuaker-> which process? | 14:11 |
| erUSUL | brous: is iwlist who can scan no iwconfig | 14:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | avidemux4_2qt4 | 14:11 |
| brous | erUSUL-> mea culpa, | 14:12 |
| oliver_ | erUSUL, thx, it's clear now | 14:12 |
| erUSUL | oliver_: no; add $PATH=$PATH:whatever to ~/.profile | 14:12 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brous, avidemux2_qt4 | 14:12 |
| erUSUL | oliver_: make the change to only your user... | 14:13 |
| JuJuBee | brous: didn't want to have to use cli to switch newtorks when I change loations. Kwifimanager worked well. | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | JuJuBee: network manager does not work for you? | 14:13 |
| brous | CostaRicanQuaker-> using like sudo kill -9 pidof-avidemux2_qt4 will not kill it still? | 14:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | should i type that into a konsole brous? | 14:14 |
| brous | CostaRicanQuaker-> yes | 14:14 |
| JuJuBee | Doesn't seem to be. It showd me my network connecitons (wlan0 eth0 vmnet0 etc... but not specific wifi connections. | 14:14 |
| brous | CostaRicanQuaker-> i mean you have to find the pid of that process first though okay? | 14:14 |
| Sooke | Hi, | 14:14 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brous, i got onsudo command not found | 14:15 |
| Sooke | Is the web tool used for the launchpad free? I would like to have something similar for my projects | 14:15 |
| rotkeppchen | aaa ... the devil is amoung us ;0 | 14:15 |
| brous | JuJuBee-> you sound like you have to nics connected to same subnet, not a good idea unless you know how to manage your route table | 14:15 |
| jrib | Sooke: well it's free to create your own project on it, but the source hasn't been released afaik | 14:15 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brous, how do i find the pid | 14:15 |
| brous | CostaRicanQuaker-> you know the pid of the process? ps aux and look in the long list | 14:16 |
| Sooke | jrib, but it is a web tool like a CMS or Webblog, right? | 14:16 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ps aux? | 14:16 |
| brous | CostaRicanQuaker-> yes | 14:16 |
| jrib | Sooke: sure... | 14:16 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | do i type ps aux into a konsole? | 14:16 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and hten what? | 14:16 |
| mashman | !seen kimi | 14:16 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 14:16 |
| brous | CostaRicanQuaker-> and look in the long list for the pid of that process you wanted to kill | 14:17 |
| Sooke | jrib, and is there anything similar to install in a local server or in my own hosting server? | 14:17 |
| JuJuBee | I do not have 2 nics connected to same subnet and I do know how to manage routing table. When I click on nm icon in notifications, I see the different interfaces. If I select wlan0, and click configure, I get error telling me the interface does not exist. | 14:17 |

| jrib | Sooke: "similar"? I guess bugzilla or trac | 14:18 |
| Sooke | jrib, , , in my company we are developping a big intranet, and we are sick and tired of sending emails back and forth about bugs detected, things to be changed, so I just though about having something global | 14:19 |
| brous | PerryArmstrong-> isnt there like a knob or buttons to press on your monitor? | 14:19 |

| flockofworms | if you see them try mounting them somewhere on your pc before messing with fstab | 15:01 |
| pvtpete | well I can mount them manually (the drives) | 15:01 |
| pvtpete | it just seems like theres a partition sda2 that's not showing up under blkid | 15:02 |
| pvtpete | but it does show up under fdisk -l | 15:02 |
| maxagaz | i'm installing ubuntu on my laptop, but it stuck at 0% at resizing windows vista, is that normal ? | 15:02 |
| pvtpete | hmm | 15:02 |
| pvtpete | I just see a load of files under ls /dev/ | 15:03 |
| flockofworms | pvtpete: maybe it has the same label as your ubu disk | 15:03 |
| pvtpete | sda2? | 15:03 |
| pvtpete | I'll pastebin the results just to be clear | 15:03 |
| flockofworms | pvtpete: what do you see in /dev under sda* | 15:03 |
| pvtpete | ah ok - /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 | 15:04 |
| pvtpete | it's appearing there | 15:04 |
| pvtpete | but it doesn't have a UUID in blkid | 15:04 |
| flockofworms | sda1 is probably boot | 15:04 |

| flockofworms | sda2 and 5 see what them are | 15:05 |

| flockofworms | nETspideR: do you know what the drive is ? | 15:06 |
| pvtpete | ok done :) | 15:06 |
| nETspideR | yes i know ? | 15:07 |
| nETspideR | i have 3 drives | 15:07 |
| pvtpete | not sure which one is boot - possible sda5 | 15:07 |
| flockofworms | mount /dev/sda* /mnt/floppy | 15:07 |
| shahost | is there a tool for fixsing bad sectors/clusters on a usb disk (fat32) | 15:07 |
| nETspideR | 1 is windows xp , 2nd is ubunt, 3rd is openbsd filesystem! | 15:07 |
| flockofworms | pvtpete: boot is probably sda1 | 15:08 |
| nETspideR | i can mount winxp but i can not openbsd filesystem | 15:08 |
| pvtpete | sda5 is the only sda entry appearing | 15:08 |
| flockofworms | pvtpete: do nano /etc/fstab | 15:08 |
| flockofworms | and see what it says for boot and root | 15:08 |
| nETspideR | when i give the dmesg command system tell me : [ 676.056698] ufs was compiled with read-only support, can't be mounted as read-write | 15:08 |
| pvtpete | done :) | 15:08 |
| flockofworms | there is probably a swap too | 15:08 |
| pvtpete | cant see any mention of a swap drive / partition | 15:10 |
| pvtpete | sda5 is the only drive with / as the root | 15:10 |
| flockofworms | try mounting sda3 or 5 | 15:10 |
| flockofworms | try 3 then | 15:11 |
| flockofworms | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/floppy | 15:11 |
| flockofworms | as root | 15:11 |
| pvtpete | no floppy on the pc | 15:11 |
| pvtpete | fyi | 15:11 |
| flockofworms | should still have the floppy dir in your /mnt | 15:12 |
| === tiagofalcao[AWAY is now known as tiagofalcao | ||
| flockofworms | do ls /mnt | 15:12 |
| flockofworms | do you see floppy | 15:12 |
| nETspideR | can someone help me | 15:12 |
| pvtpete | 1 sec | 15:12 |
| nETspideR | ? | 15:12 |
| pvtpete | nothings appearing with ls /mnt | 15:12 |
| bman | nETspideR, a psychologist? | 15:12 |

| bman | heh | 15:12 |
| maxagaz | quibbler, thanks | 15:12 |

| flockofworms | as root | 15:13 |
| quibbler | maxagaz: you are welcome | 15:13 |
| flockofworms | then mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/drive | 15:13 |
| nETspideR | what is the right command | 15:13 |
| bman | pvtpete, cat /proc/partitions | 15:13 |

| WeazelON | why oh why does flash have to suck in ubuntu :( | 15:14 |
| bman | thats like asking why does flash suck | 15:14 |
| bman | it just does | 15:14 |
| flockofworms | WeazelON: ? | 15:14 |
| HammerHead66 | it doesn't works just fine | 15:14 |
| jpds | WeazelON: Install adobe-flashplugin from the partner repo. | 15:14 |
| flockofworms | WeazelON: depends on how you install it | 15:14 |
| WeazelON | fullscreen breaks for me, and firefox almost suiciding when flash is on the background | 15:15 |
| pvtpete | done cat/proc parititons | 15:15 |
| WeazelON | i'm on 8.04 | 15:15 |
| pvtpete | now I've got a list of blocks, minor major and name | 15:15 |
| WeazelON | its the nonfree plugin something package | 15:15 |
| flockofworms | WeazelON: there is a adobeflash plugin in synaptic | 15:15 |
| pvtpete | but it doesn't explain the original problem. I.e. I'm trying to setup auto mounting and my fstab but sda2 isnt shwoing up | 15:16 |
| WeazelON | i'll have a look again, but i think i tried it once already | 15:16 |
| pvtpete | bman or flockofworms ok if I go to pm ? | 15:16 |
| flockofworms | yeah | 15:16 |
| quibbler | WeazelON: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:16 |
| === slimj is now known as slimjim | ||
| WeazelON | yea thats what i got installed flashplugin-nonfree | 15:17 |
| flockofworms | WeazelON: open synaptic | 15:17 |
| WeazelON | open | 15:17 |
| flockofworms | search for adobe flash | 15:17 |
| makario | What's a good webcam for Linux? Good resolution, good FPS, and works completely out of the box. | 15:17 |
| flockofworms | it is the first on the list of results | 15:17 |
| WeazelON | got 2 resaults | 15:17 |
| flockofworms | the one with the star | 15:17 |
| WeazelON | flashblock and flashplugin-nonfree | 15:17 |
| WeazelON | i dont see no star | 15:18 |
| flockofworms | you must not have universe and multiverse repos | 15:18 |
| WeazelON | how do i get them and add them ? | 15:18 |
| flockofworms | there is options in synaptic | 15:18 |
| flockofworms | under repos | 15:18 |
| Enzo60954 | to makario -> most webcams work out of the box, have you tried one and it doesn't work? | 15:19 |
| makario | WeazelON Go to System > Aministration > Software Sources and make sure all of the boxes are checked. | 15:19 |
| ScottG | #hardware told me to come here. I'm having problems with my HP Officejet Pro L7950 All-In-One. The printer works fine but the scanner says it doesn't have a computer connected (It is connected to my PC downstairs via USB) | 15:19 |

| flockofworms | makario: just buy one | 15:19 |
| flockofworms | and what ever you use it with make sure it is pointing to it | 15:19 |
| WeazelON | everything IS checked | 15:19 |
| flockofworms | it is usually /dev/video1 | 15:20 |
| mashman | who know how to set pppconfig ? | 15:20 |
| makario | WeazelON in Add/Remove, then, make sure you're showing All Available Applications and not just Ubuntu ones. | 15:20 |

| llacroix | how did I got there | 15:21 |
| makario | Enzo60954 Probably Wal-Mart since it's close. | 15:21 |
| llacroix | ubuntu made me do it | 15:21 |
| brous | makario-> if i were you, check what camorama is compatible with | 15:22 |
| WeazelON | what to choose under " Show new distribution releases ? " | 15:22 |
| ccchatzilla | question: where can I find the relationships between PIDs and window titles in a graphical environment? | 15:22 |

| kandinsk1 | running Intrepid here, my disk does not stop making noises. The activity monitor shows between 11 and 33 % activity (whatever that means) all the time | 15:25 |
| kandinsk1 | what does that mean? the computer is idle as it can be! | 15:25 |
| noaki | Hi! I don't know whether this is the right place to ask, but maybe s.o. can help me. I use a Widescreen 22'' monitor and play Warcraft III with wine. How can i play in 4:3 mode, so the game doesn't look shitty? | 15:25 |
| noaki | with black borders | 15:25 |
| slimjim | is there a reason i have two menu.lst in my grub file one has a ~ at the end of it, can i delete that one or are they both needed for boot loader | 15:25 |
| ScottG | kandinsk1: apt-get iotop | 15:25 |
| kandinsk1 | ta | 15:25 |
| magnetron | noaki→ the only way would be if your screen has a setting for it | 15:26 |
| ScottG | kandinsk1: It shows you what programs are reading/writing to your disk | 15:26 |
| magnetron | noaki→ either that, or if warcraft iii has a widescreen mode | 15:26 |
| DevilNut | Hey, anyone can help me with online streaming music? not sure it is plugin problem or not... | 15:26 |
| noaki | megnetron how can i configure my nvidea card in ubuntu? | 15:26 |
| quibbler | slimjim -> the one with the ~ is the backup when you last edited the file ...yes you can delete it if you wish | 15:27 |
| kandinsk1 | ScottG: nice, thanks! it-s the mythtv backend daemon! | 15:27 |
| slimjim | ok thanks | 15:27 |
| {bosco} | can anyone help messed up gdm to the pioint where i can only login via remote connection | 15:27 |
| {bosco} | ?????? | 15:27 |
| magnetron | noaki→ is there a 4:3 setting in your screen? or is there a 16:9 mode for warcraft? | 15:27 |
| ScottG | kandinsk1: Yea iotop is a great program :) | 15:27 |
| kandinsk1 | noaki, or even windowed mode! | 15:28 |
| brous | {bosco}-> you should be able to login via ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 | 15:28 |
| kandinsk1 | Scottg: so is "aptitude remove mythtv"! | 15:28 |
| slimjim | what is the del cmd in terminal | 15:28 |
| noaki | magnetron-> there is no 16:9 mode in wc3 neither the screen has a hardware option, but in windows i could change the behaviour of my nvidea card in a menu.. | 15:28 |
| ScottG | kandinsk1: Well if your sure you wont use it then yes | 15:28 |
| kandinsk1 | wow, this is peaceful | 15:29 |
| magnetron | noaki→ you could run wc3 in windowed mode | 15:29 |
| quibbler | slimjim -> rm read man rm to learn more | 15:29 |
| ScottG | kandinsk1: Personally I use "sudo apt-get --purge remove <program>" if I know im not going to use something again | 15:29 |
| noaki | magnetron-> ah yea thx, but i'm not sure wheter the mouse will 'pop out' of the window.. but thanks, I'll try it | 15:29 |
| ScottG | kandinsk1: Purging removes config files and such I think. I just do that to keep my system cleaner | 15:29 |
| slimjim | thanks it has been a while i have read it before just could not remember | 15:30 |
| kandinsk1 | noaki, are you using the nvidia binary drivers? | 15:30 |
| {bosco} | brous, i understand that loged in right now but i am booting via recovery kernal and i and when i try in GNOME to change it back it says gdm is not running but i installed deleted it and reinstalled it thinking that might help????????????? | 15:30 |
| quibbler | slimjim -> getting back in the thick of it? | 15:30 |
| brous | {bosco}-> on recovery of single user mode, no gui is active anyways | 15:31 |
| noaki | kandinskl, i just found the nvideo x server settings :) thanks ^ | 15:31 |
| slimjim | yes | 15:31 |
| kandinsk1 | on my sistem, I fix your problem by going to system -> administration -> nvidia X Server Settings -> GPU-0 -> DFP-0 (or whatever screen you use), GPU Scaling Method | 15:31 |
| slimjim | have finally got tired of windo$ i am running ubuntu 8.10 on my older amd box with only 256ram right now but have plenty of stoarage space | 15:32 |
| neuratix | herro, is gcc 4.0.2 in apt somehow? | 15:32 |
| kandinsk1 | then I pick "centered" woops that was for noaki | 15:32 |
| {bosco} | brous, went down to a root shell loged in and then did {startx} started x to get things going | 15:32 |
| slimjim | 1.5tb hdd space | 15:32 |
| kandinsk1 | noaki, did you get that? | 15:32 |
| bullgard4 | [Ubuntu 8.04.2] dmesg produces 9 messages prepended with "swsusp:" but I cannot find a driver 'swsusp'. What program does produce these messages? Is it /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/kernel/power/swsusp.c? | 15:32 |
| slimjim | and on my newer lappy i have dreamlinux with xfce gui with about 200g hdd space | 15:32 |
| slimjim | i have to upgrade the ram in my box but that will be soon enough | 15:32 |
| quibbler | slimjim -> that's one huge drive! | 15:32 |
| brous | {bosco}-> i dont believe there is really such thing as recovery kernel, its your regular launched and put to single user mode, and again no gui or X server running in single user mode, all cli | 15:32 |
| noaki | kandinskl, yes i set this.. one moment, i'll test my warcraft | 15:32 |
| kandinsk1 | noaki: on my sistem, I fix your problem by going to system -> administration -> nvidia X Server Settings -> GPU-0 -> DFP-0 (or whatever screen you use), GPU Scaling Method "centered" | 15:32 |
| === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz | ||
| {bosco} | brous, all you have to do for that is click go down to root term login and then use the command startx | 15:33 |
| kandinsk1 | noaki: you can also try "aspect ration scaled" | 15:33 |
| {bosco} | to startx | 15:33 |
| noaki | kandisnkl, thanks a lot, it worked :) | 15:33 |

| Guest28959 | ok mis chiken | 15:53 |
| I-Shot-Kennedy | How can I block traffic on an app-to-app basis? | 15:54 |
| oCean_ | !hi | Drknezz | 15:54 |
| ubottu | Drknezz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:54 |
| Guest28959 | no | 15:54 |
| Drknezz | !ufw | 15:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 15:54 |
| flockofworms | !rq | 15:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rq | 15:54 |
| bayern0906 | it's disorder | 15:54 |
| Drknezz | I-Shot-Kennedy: dude, try with "ufw" | 15:54 |
| kitche | I-Shot-Kennedy: you can't unless you use ufw maybe or something but iptables is not meant for app-to-app blocking | 15:54 |
| AJC_Z0 | I-Shot-Kennedy: By creating iptables rules for those applications | 15:54 |
| ottertoast | 2 nics, one for internal traffic and one for external traffic: possible? | 15:54 |
| AJC_Z0 | I-Shot-Kennedy: What exactly are you trying to achieve? | 15:55 |
| Drknezz | ottertoast, not possible afaik, NAt wont allow that | 15:55 |
| moshp | If I ssh-ed into a remote host how do I run a command on the local host from the remote host prompt? | 15:55 |
| I-Shot-Kennedy | I want to control which apps have this right like with dozen firewall apps under windows. | 15:55 |
| Guest28959 | surprise cake | 15:55 |
| irssi | ottertoast: what exactly are you trying to do | 15:55 |
| I-Shot-Kennedy | Right now it seems any outgoing traffic is not blocked. | 15:55 |
| Drknezz | I-Shot-Kennedy, try reading ufw's manual "man ufw" | 15:55 |
| ScottG | arvind_khadri: Whats the diff between sane and xsane? | 15:55 |
| Drknezz | !xsane ScottG | 15:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xsane ScottG | 15:56 |
| Guest28959 | oven | 15:56 |
| ottertoast | Drknezz, irssi, throttle bandwidth on proftpd | 15:56 |
| HammerHead66 | I-Shot-Kennedy: are you in GUI? | 15:56 |
| Drknezz | !xsane | 15:56 |

| fuks | configure: error: curl-config executable is missing | 15:56 |
| fuks | how fix it? | 15:56 |
| irssi | I-Shot-Kennedy: outgoing traffic is not blocked by default, you have to block it with iptables or ufw | 15:56 |
| Guest28959 | nooooooooooooooo | 15:56 |
| fuks | i have curl.. | 15:56 |
| Myrtti | Guest28959: please use English | 15:56 |
| Drknezz | ottertoast, what? | 15:56 |
| patryck | fuks: ./configure --help | 15:56 |
| I-Shot-Kennedy | There is no way to configure it via GUI. Even shitty Vista blocked LeakTest 1.2 out of the box. | 15:56 |
| irssi | ottertoast: that sounds different than having one NIC for internal traffic and one for external? | 15:56 |
| arvind_khadri | ScottG, no idea, :S | 15:56 |
| HammerHead66 | I-Shot-Kennedy: lol | 15:56 |
| Guest28959 | y love milk | 15:57 |
| moshp | If I ssh-ed into a remote host how do I run a command on the local host from the remote host prompt? Anyone? | 15:57 |
| iinb3 | xD | 15:57 |
| Drknezz | lol irssi, thought he was talking about the irssi client | 15:57 |
| ottertoast | irssi, its a long story... | 15:57 |
| ottertoast | Drknezz, lol | 15:57 |
| irssi | I-Shot-Kennedy: yes, because it has a firewall turned on by default. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 15:57 |
| Guest28959 | nou | 15:57 |
| Myrtti | Guest28959: final warning, this is not a social channel, please use English and state your problem with Ubuntu, or leave. | 15:57 |
| HammerHead66 | I-Shot-Kennedy: in GUI I use firestarter it works fine for me | 15:57 |
| Ramesses | if i set the 'always on top' attribute on a conversation window of pidgin _all_ the windows [with always on top set] will ignore the always on top attribute and go in the background if i select a window [without always on top set]; i just noticed this strange behaviour [intrepid ibex, up-to-date without backports! and gnome with compiz]; can someone confirm this? should i file a bug? | 15:57 |
| irssi | ottertoast: you can probably do what you're talking about by manually setting routing tables, but thats kind of a pain | 15:57 |
| Guest28959 | Idont | 15:58 |
| fuks | patryck: i wanna compile with it | 15:58 |
| ScottG | arvind_khadri: lol ok. ubuntu seems to come with xsane | 15:58 |
| fuks | what package i need? | 15:58 |
| Guest28959 | bay | 15:58 |
| Drknezz | ottertoast, anyways, some apps allow you to bind them to a certain NIC, but idk how to help you | 15:58 |
| I-Shot-Kennedy | Well, I have a really nice third-party firewall app with windows which tells me when a local app tries to create outgoing connection and asks me if I want to let it. Nothing like this under Linux? | 15:58 |
| patryck | fuks: try 'which <executablename>' | 15:58 |
| Myrtti | I-Shot-Kennedy: in general you don't need a firewall in Ubuntu | 15:58 |
| patryck | issit in your $PATH? | 15:58 |
| irssi | ottertoast: if you just want to throttle ftp traffic, look into QoS: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7990.html | 15:58 |
| arvind_khadri | ScottG, ya, :) | 15:58 |
| Myrtti | I-Shot-Kennedy: that is, if you haven't installed anything that would spuriously open ports | 15:58 |
| irssi | I-Shot-Kennedy: yes, there are plenty of things that do this in linux, but they take a little bit of time to find | 15:59 |
| carmen | hola | 15:59 |
| Drknezz | irrsi, QoS sucks, but i agrre with you | 15:59 |
| I-Shot-Kennedy | There is an app that can do this? | 15:59 |
| Jeruvy | I-Shot-Kennedy: actually there are numerous applications, but ufw and firestarter are probably best for windows users. | 15:59 |
| irssi | Drknezz: agreed, but it sounds like thats what he wants | 15:59 |
| Drknezz | irssi, lol | 15:59 |
| Pe3k | hello, my favourite window manager is fluxbox; what is the best way to use it in ubuntu? Now I have installed kubuntu and as default wm. fluxbox, BUT if I rarely log in to KDE I find out that there are some updates which I do not see in fluxbox, so how to deal with that ? what is the right way? | 15:59 |

| HammerHead66 | max: bitte spreaken sie English | 16:00 |

| ottertoast | irssi, Drknezz, if you want i will explain it to you guys. maybe you will have a better idea. | 16:00 |
| Drknezz | ottertoast, irssi, maybe we can go into a private conversation/room | 16:00 |
| celebroan | Drknezz: let me know (/nick changed) | 16:01 |
| ScottG | arvind_khadri: ooooh, i see. That program has been hiding there this whole time lol | 16:01 |
| Pe3k | arvind_khadri: it appears in KDE in left down corner and I think they are some kind of security updates?? | 16:01 |
| Pe3k | arvind_khadri: sorry right down | 16:01 |
| celebroan | Pe3k: try running "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" | 16:01 |
| ottertoast | Drknezz, celebroan, just meet me in #tmplol | 16:01 |
| celebroan | Pe3k: in a terminal. that should get all your updates | 16:02 |
| Pe3k | celebroan:thanks | 16:02 |
| arvind_khadri | Pe3k, aah , its just an applet :P flubox might not have that as its lightweight :) | 16:02 |
| celebroan | Pe3k: fluxbox is nice, but it doesn't have a lot of the applets that are in gnome and kubuntu, including the update notifications | 16:03 |
| BlueAidan_work | xfce is cool. It lets you use gnome applets in its panel. | 16:03 |
| Drknezz | !español > carmen | 16:03 |

| ganesh | not able to play high quality WMV movie..it plays like a slideshow in totem or vlc how can i fix it? | 16:03 |
| celebroan | anyone here have experience with building custom install CDs? | 16:03 |
| Pe3k | arvind_khadri,celebroan: yes, I use it instead of KDE because of my old computer | 16:04 |
| celebroan | Pe3k: right. but it means you have to do certain things on your own manually | 16:04 |
| arvind_khadri | Pe3k, :) nice , even xfce is cool | 16:04 |
| BlackBeast | hello | 16:06 |
| BlackBeast | a question | 16:06 |
| ganesh | how can i play high quality MWV movie? | 16:06 |
| BlackBeast | if i have ubuntu 7.10 it can be installed on a laptop? | 16:06 |
| fabio | ganesh: mplayer or totem i suppose | 16:06 |
| Drknezz | BlackBeast, yes | 16:06 |
| celebroan | ganesh: mpalyer or vlc | 16:06 |
| Ramesses | if i set the 'always on top' attribute on a pidgin conversation window _all_ the windows with 'always on top' set [including pidgin's] will ignore the 'always on top' attribute and go in the background when i select another window without 'always on top' set; i just noticed this strange behaviour [intrepid ibex, up-to-date without backports! and gnome with compiz]; can someone confirm this? should i file a bug? | 16:06 |
| fabio | get w32codecs too | 16:06 |
| Drknezz | !compiz > Ramesses | 16:07 |
| ubottu | Ramesses, please see my private message | 16:07 |
| ScottG | arvind_khadri: EFFING AWESOME IT WORKED! | 16:07 |
| ScottG | arvind_khadri: Does it support sheet feeders and such? | 16:07 |
| jedimind | how would i go about setting Sun Java Runtimes as the default, rather than the OpenJDK Runtimes? | 16:07 |
| arvind_khadri | ScottG, i guess yes... havent tried :) | 16:07 |
| ScottG | ok ill mess around with ir some more | 16:07 |
| kavurt | how can I mount an ext4 partition on an ext3 system? | 16:08 |
| xenocit | hi | 16:08 |
| Ramesses | Drknezz, hmm.. i know how to set compiz [and it was set by default]; i just noticed that strange behaviour now and i didn't have that problem before | 16:08 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: use the "alternatives" method | 16:08 |
| arvind_khadri | kavurt, sudo mount -t <type> /dev/disk /mount/point | 16:08 |
| oCean_ | !alternatives | jedimind | 16:08 |
| ubottu | jedimind: To change the default applications system-wide, use 'sudo update-alternatives --all' in a terminal. | 16:08 |
| jedimind | oCean_: thanks i'll give it a shot | 16:09 |
| kristian_ | HammerHead66: hey! around? | 16:09 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: if you prefer gui - install "galternatives" | 16:09 |
| BlackBeast | thank Drknezz | 16:09 |
| HammerHead66 | kristian_: yeah | 16:09 |
| Drknezz | np BlackBeast | 16:09 |
| kavurt | sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb10 bagla | 16:10 |
| kavurt | mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' | 16:10 |
| jedimind | oCean_: okay, i went through it, and i changed the java default to sun (i saw it in the list) but when i do java -version ; i still get openSDK | 16:10 |
| jedimind | err OpenJDK | 16:10 |
| JonathanEllis | Hi. How do I tell which kernel is running? | 16:11 |
| Drknezz | kavurt, ext4 must be compiled into the kernel b4 doing that | 16:11 |
| Drknezz | kavurt, ubuntu doesnt ship with ext4 enabled because it is unstable | 16:11 |
| Drknezz | kavurt, you need a custom kernel | 16:11 |
| arturo | hello | 16:11 |
| Drknezz | JonathanEllis, uname -r | 16:11 |
| arturo | who can help me ? i want to config samba in xubuntu 8.10 | 16:12 |
| kristian_ | HammerHead66 : just got back from work. will try to get k3b/brasero to work now. so i have selected the setting, skip eject tray after burn in k3b, and the first time i burn a data dvd, it burns it, verifies it and completes. then when i decided to burn another data cd with some other data on, the verifying fails. :-/ any thoughts? | 16:12 |
| JonathanEllis | Drknezz: Thanks | 16:12 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: "which java" should return /usr/bin/java, which in turn is actually a link to /etc/alternatives/java | 16:12 |
| Drknezz | !samba > arturo | 16:12 |
| ubottu | arturo, please see my private message | 16:12 |
| kavurt | drknezz thanks | 16:12 |
| HammerHead66 | kristian_: see pm | 16:12 |
| Drknezz | JonathanEllis, np | 16:12 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: The "java" in /etc/alternatives is set by the update-alternatives command to the java of your choice | 16:12 |
| Drknezz | kavurt, np | 16:12 |
| Drknezz | !kernel > Drknezz | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Drknezz, please see my private message | 16:12 |
| Kingsy101 | can someone help me fix some errors that I am getting when I boot my ubuntu PC up? | 16:13 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: at least, it should be. So you could check "which java" and "ls -al /etc/alternatives/java" | 16:13 |
| Drknezz | !kernel > kavurt | 16:13 |
| ubottu | kavurt, please see my private message | 16:13 |
| arvind_khadri | kavurt, ext4 is there in 9.04 | 16:13 |
| Ramesses | Drknezz, any ideea why 'always on top' gets ignored by compiz? [i mentioned that i haven't had this problem before] | 16:13 |
| jedimind | oCean_: well it does return /usr/bin/java but it doesnt seem to be using it when im running ... ANT in this case | 16:13 |
| doxer_ | tjena hejsan | 16:13 |
| jedimind | should i restart my gnome session? | 16:13 |
| Drknezz | Ramesses, idk, you should talk about that in #compiz, not here | 16:13 |
| jedimind | though... | 16:14 |
| kavurt | ubottu can you send it again? | 16:14 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:14 |
| Drknezz | !kernel > kavurt | 16:14 |
| ubottu | kavurt, please see my private message | 16:14 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: ok, I'm not sure if ANT has a config, where (fr example) JAVA_HOME is set... I guess that'll override system defaults | 16:14 |
| Ramesses | Drknezz, compiz didn't packaged _my compiz from ubuntu_; in other distros i don't have this problem | 16:14 |
| jedimind | oCean_: doing ls /etc/alternatives/java returns /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java | 16:14 |
| jedimind | but which java returns /usr/bin/java | 16:14 |
| arturo | can i use samba for ps3 ? | 16:14 |
| Drknezz | Ramesses, ubuntu team is known for modding compiz a bit | 16:14 |
| Seveas | jedimind, readlink -f /usr/bin/java | 16:15 |
| Drknezz | arturo, ps3? i'd recommend using nfs if you installed linux on it | 16:15 |
| Ramesses | Drknezz, that's why i asked if anyone noticed this problem and if i should file a bug on this | 16:15 |
| jedimind | /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java | 16:15 |
| Drknezz | arturo, instead of samba | 16:15 |
| jedimind | crap | 16:15 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: /usr/bin/java is link to /etc/alternatives/java, so it seems, that you update-alternatives have not changed the actual java version? | 16:15 |
| Seveas | jedimind, there you go :) | 16:15 |
| jedimind | yeah it doesnt seem like it actually changed it even though i specifically selected it... | 16:15 |
| max` | moin | 16:16 |
| Seveas | jedimind, use update-java-alternatives | 16:16 |
| oliver_ | max`, moin | 16:16 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: also check if the update worked "update-alternatives --list java" | 16:16 |
| arturo | Drknezz ok thank you | 16:16 |
| Drknezz | arturo, np | 16:17 |
| Drknezz | !nfs > arturo | 16:17 |
| ubottu | arturo, please see my private message | 16:17 |
| jedimind | oCean_: can i msg you for a min? | 16:17 |
| oCean_ | jedimind: sure | 16:17 |
| arturo | where can i find information for nfs? | 16:17 |
| ganesh | fabio: celebroan: in totem or vlc o mplayer its not playing smoothly..it plays like a slideshow..WMV file is of high quality | 16:17 |
| Drknezz | arturo, read the pm from ubottu | 16:17 |
| jelly12gen | arturo: on the ubuntu wiki | 16:18 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, slow comp? | 16:18 |

| arvind_khadri | ganesh, using compiz? | 16:18 |
| goncalopp | hey people, I'm having some trouble with /dev/input on ubuntu 8.10. There's no output in any of the files, on both my pcs. Anyone knows anything about this? | 16:18 |
| fabio | ganesh: maybe it's a hd movie and your card is very slow | 16:18 |
| Drknezz | goncalopp, why are you messing up with that? | 16:19 |
| goncalopp | I'm trying to make a remote work in ubuntu, but it is recognized as an HID keyboard. i wanted to configure it with lirc, maybe | 16:19 |
| ganesh | Drknezz:arvind_khadri:fabio: ya i am using compiz..mine is not a slow comp.. | 16:19 |
| Drknezz | goncalopp, maybe reading the lirc wiki should help | 16:20 |
| arvind_khadri | ganesh, turn off compiz and then run the movie | 16:20 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, really?, mine can play 4 full-screen vids on each cube face no problem | 16:20 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, even when i rotate the cube | 16:20 |
| fabio | ganesh: mplayer can tell you why is't so slow | 16:21 |
| goncalopp | i've been doing that, the problem is, you're supposed to write the name of the device file in the conf, and my device files give no output whatsoever, so it doesn't work | 16:21 |
| ganesh | arvind_khadri: how to turn off compiz? | 16:21 |
| goncalopp | I guess /dev/mice at least should output something when you move your mouse? | 16:21 |
| ScottG | arvind_khadri: Man this works freakin great! | 16:22 |
| Drknezz | goncalopp, really?, weird, try doing lshw and look for your IR receiver, if it says "UNCLAIMED", then you got search for a driver | 16:22 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, metacity --replace | 16:22 |
| arvind_khadri | ganesh, right click on the desktop , go to the last tab and then set the effects to nill | 16:22 |
| arvind_khadri | ScottG, :) nice | 16:22 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, to reactivate: compiz --replace | 16:22 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, if you want a graphical way to do that, install fusion-icon | 16:22 |
| JonathanEllis | My scanner was working yesterday morning but in the afternoon it suddenly stopped and xsane reports "No devices available". Any idea why this should suddenly stop working when it was fine before? I have asked this question in #sane but there is no reply. Has anyone here experienced the same problem? | 16:23 |
| fabio | system -> preferences -> effect -> disable enable | 16:23 |
| ScottG | arvind_khadri: Do you have that much experience with it? I have a few questions like being able to have it not pause after every scan or recognising text and exporting it as some sort of text file or preferably PDF. | 16:24 |
| babo | hostname:displaynumber.screennumber ... what's the difference between displaynumber and screennumber ? | 16:24 |

| JonathanEllis | sipior: If only! | 16:24 |
| arvind_khadri | ScottG, aah you can do that when saving the file ,, by specifying the format | 16:25 |
| sipior | JonathanEllis: i assume you haven't changed anything else on the machine. does dmesg report any strangeness? or anything in /var/log/messages? | 16:25 |
| arvind_khadri | ScottG, no idea about the pause, i guess its not so advanced as you want it to be :) about the pause part i mean | 16:26 |

| ganesh | arvind_khadri: not playing with compiz off ...i can play in windows..so it must not be a problem with graphics card | 16:27 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, you installed the nvidia/ati driver? | 16:27 |

| Drknezz | mustu, you have a disabled ethernet Nic | 16:30 |
| ganesh | Drknezz: yes ati driver | 16:30 |
| Drknezz | ganesh, ati is know to suck A LOT with compiz, so disable it | 16:31 |

| ravn1 | I see that the Mac people has this nice iCal share service, but what I can see Evolution can not subscribe to iCal files, or? | 16:33 |
| sipior | JonathanEllis: does "lsusb" report anything? | 16:33 |
| Drknezz | mustu, you're done? | 16:34 |
| mustu | Drknezz: no effect!! | 16:34 |
| JonathanEllis | sipior: lsusb doesnt change when I plug in or disconnect the scanner | 16:34 |

| swiper | fearful: no, that's not what i want - i want it to download from firefox i know its possible | 17:01 |

| wrektjet | newbie question: how do i do this:Once you have the needed libraries installed, build and install by running: $ python setup.py build $ sudo python setup.py install | 17:14 |
| oCean_ | shabgard: So to prevent any further issues, you might want to install from repos | 17:15 |
| tj83 | ya.... i have been using gimp... but it doesnt have some of the nice auto adjust macro's arvind_khadri Myrtti | 17:15 |
| wrektjet | how do i run those scrips | 17:15 |
| Myrtti | wrektjet: what are you trying to install? | 17:15 |
| A-KO | rreyes: You could always wine + sqlyog | 17:15 |
| wrektjet | new deluge client | 17:15 |
| oCean_ | shabgard: however, themessage ".." not found on this server usually means that the directory can not be found from the defined DocumentRoot | 17:15 |
| goncalopp | wrektjet: in the console, just go to the directory you're building and run it with ./ | 17:15 |
| rreyes | A-KO: Wine seems not to work as expected when virtualizing, like I am right now | 17:16 |
| A-KO | rreyes: alternatively many might recommend using apache + phpmyadmin though that's not the preferable solution..... | 17:16 |
| oCean_ | shabgard: which, by default in apache2, is /var/www. So, in your case, it tries to find the /var/www/nagios subdir, and it says "cannot find" | 17:16 |
| shabgard | Oh...i checked | 17:17 |
| porter1 | How do we add textboxes to openoffice presenter? | 17:17 |
| rreyes | A-KO: phpMyAdmin might do the job, that's right. Why do you say it isn't the preferable solution? because it is not a traditional GUI? | 17:17 |
| arvind_khadri | porter1, by choosing a layout, onto your right hand side | 17:17 |
| shabgard | i don't found /var/www/nagis....what? | 17:18 |
| goncalopp | Drknezz: Tough i can't find the remote anywhere in the lshw, it is listed in lsusb, and I can get keystrokes with xev | 17:19 |
| A-KO | rreyes: because it involves setting up apache, php, and then myadmin, and preferably setup at the very least a self-signed certificate set for SSL to run (or of course over another encryption solution such as VPN) | 17:19 |
| porter1 | arvind, I guess there's not much of a way except copying another textbox. | 17:19 |
| A-KO | but if that's the road you wanna take :D | 17:19 |
| A-KO | it's not that hard | 17:19 |
| A-KO | just more work than a single gui client, that's all | 17:19 |
| oCean_ | shabgard: well, since you followd instructions from internet, I don't know were nagios is actually installed. But you need a link from /var/www DocumentRoot to the directory where the files are. | 17:19 |
| goncalopp | Drknezz, you're there? | 17:20 |

| pulgoki | is there a way to limit sudo to the local keyboard? | 17:21 |
| oCean_ | shabgard: yes, I understand, but you need a link from /var/www to the actual nagios install (maybe in /usr/local/nagios) | 17:22 |
| goncalopp | wrektjet: ok, get to the console first. in the menu, applicaitions->acessories->terminal | 17:22 |

| oCean_ | shabgard: If the nagios tutuorial does not work, you should ask there. Ubuntu has it in it's repositories. So, If you're up for it, I suggest you re-install from repositories | 17:23 |

| goncalopp | Anyone there has experience with a remote recognized as an USB keyboard? | 17:25 |
| HammerHead66 | zagabar1: use K3b to burn it will allow you to not have to eject to verify cd | 17:25 |
| zagabar1 | Okay, I can try it. | 17:26 |
| rreyes | A-KO: Tried navicat but it never got off the ground. It uses wine | 17:26 |
| armence | goncalopp: Well, think about it, a remote is a small flatish thing of sort (perhaps a board) with a whole bunch of keys on top. One could call it a keyboard... I'm not sure I'm helping though... | 17:26 |
| wrektjet | ohhh i figured out how to find the path :) you click that notepad in the file browser! | 17:27 |

| kristian_ | Hey! I've been trying to solve this problem for 2 days now, but still no luck! I'm having problems with burning cd/dvd in Ubuntu on a laptop (non-motorized tray). I have written the full explaination here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/136182/ Please have a look, and see if you guys can help me out with this one! Thanks! :-) | 18:32 |
| macman | Tryfon, it dosen't say ascii ? | 18:32 |

| Tryfon | macman: no just that | 18:33 |
| macman | Tryfon, go to your terminal and type cat /home/tryfonas/generations.txt | 18:33 |
| thewrath | how do you update drivers? | 18:33 |
| macman | if nothing shows up like ascii text it means your format or something is wrong with that text file | 18:33 |

| josh-l | but any particular way better than another? | 18:35 |
| evilGUI | josh-l: Correct. | 18:35 |

| LjL | josh-l: aptitude or apt-get will both do | 18:35 |
| Hovefirse | Hiya folks. An odd problem: I use Intrepid + Firefox. When I go to a homepage with a Java applet on it with account A, everything is fine and dandy. When I visit the same site using account B, the system freezes! Pulling the plug is the only thing that works. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting or repairing...any suggestions? | 18:35 |
| evilGUI | josh-l: Use aptitude, it does a better job of cleaning up. | 18:35 |
| LjL | josh-l: just keep in mind that /var/log/dpkg.log logs the recently installed packages | 18:35 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: Just gave my box the three fingered salute and nope, the themes are still broken. | 18:35 |
| josh-l | awesome thanks all | 18:36 |

| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: Where did you install the themes you downloaded? | 18:59 |

| Guest90643 | i don't think that it is surpposed to eject the drive before it has finish burning | 19:00 |
| dan457 | lol | 19:00 |
| JMFTheVCI | I downloaded the tar.gz files and then used the Install option on System > Preferences > Appearance > Theme | 19:00 |

| thewrath | after doing that | 19:00 |
| sebsebseb | Guest90643: depends on your CD burner, some will eject after burning and then do a check of the CD. | 19:01 |
| Guest90643 | right | 19:01 |
| dan457 | if verify is on yes | 19:01 |
| josh-l | okay another question, can i set a different browser (no konqueror) as default for all other programs ? or do i need to set it per program kind of thing? | 19:01 |
| sebsebseb | Guest90643: also it's good idea to md5sum the ISO before burning | 19:01 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 19:01 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 19:01 |

| thewrath | when i ran that nothing | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | josh-l: Konqueror is the default in Kubuntu sure, but in Ubuntu it would be FIrefox | 19:02 |
| arvind_khadri | thewrath, are you sure you have the correct tar ball? | 19:03 |

| saxs | Hi all. I need some help I have some problems with unresolved package dependencies using synaptic. I intalled WINE time ago and unistalled it. When I wanted to install the last version again through Add remove programs or using synaptic it gives me an error of unresolved package dependencies. I investigated in the Net and nothing. I only found a dependency with the package binfmt-support and I have a lower version installed in my h | 19:04 |
| sebsebseb | josh-l: ok so in the Firefox settings, set it as the default browser | 19:04 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: run cd /usr/share/themes && ls and give me the output. | 19:04 |
| thewrath | i got the 64 bit tarbell that is what i am running arvind_khadri | 19:04 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 19:04 |
| arvind_khadri | thewrath, ok , after modprobe, do the insmod with the correct path, sudo insmod <path>/<filename> | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: ok first of all to make sure you always got the latest wine add the Ubuntu repo from winehq. http://www.winehq.org | 19:05 |
| saxs | If anyone can help pvt me pls | 19:05 |
| kristian_ | faeryan : hmm, thanks, will check it out. | 19:05 |
| saxs | yes I downloaded the debian from wiinehq too | 19:05 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: http://paste.ubuntu.com/136195/ | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: I don't see the need to private about your issue, this channel is not that busy at the moment | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: Debian hummmmmm you want the Ubuntu version | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: you are on Ubuntu, not Debian right? | 19:06 |
| saxs | yes | 19:06 |
| saxs | hardy | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: yes add the winehq repo for Wine, and then sudo apt-get install it. make sure your other wine is gone. sudo apt-get purge wine will do that | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: and it would leave the .wine folder probably as a hidden folder in home. | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: by the sounds of it also your package manager is broken? | 19:06 |
| saxs | ok trying it... tnx sebsebseb | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: also what kind of stuff do you want to run in Wine? you should use native Linux programs most/all of the time :) | 19:07 |
| Frxstrem | !iso | 19:08 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 19:08 |
| saxs | this is the terminal output: "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" | 19:08 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: you can't have Synaptic or the cut down version add/remove open at the same time, that your trying to install stuff from the terminal | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: the GUI stuff is just a GUI for apt-get | 19:09 |
| saxs | humm tnx for that... geez I'm really new to this :) | 19:09 |
| BellinXFelon | can someone help me i am trying to install xubuntu 8.10 on a laptop and the installation screen and everything works fine then it loads this thing called busy box and has a variety of different commands to enter, im not sure where to go from here? | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: yeah thought so, as a result you probably don't reolize that Desktop Linux wasn't meant to be like Windows in the first place, because they are an alternative to Unix. also this kind of software is about freedom, source code being availalbe to the general public, so that programmers from all over the world can make the programs better. know about this stuff no? | 19:11 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: also ideally you should run programs that were made for Linux, but sometimes there may not be something good enough, and so yeah Wine | 19:11 |
| saxs | done... but it keeps the problems with the conflicting packages... I can't install Wine again | 19:11 |
| arvind_khadri | BellinXFelon, try using safe graphics mode | 19:12 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: ok try installing anything from the terminal. and pastebin the output | 19:12 |
| BellinXFelon | arvind_khadri, thank you | 19:12 |
| sebsebseb | !pastebin | saxs | 19:12 |
| ubottu | saxs: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 19:12 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: This is the last thing I would try besides scraping your GNOME config files, sudo mv /usr/share/themes/themes themes.old && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 19:12 |
| kaista | hi anyone know why my keyboard and mouse fail on login (ubuntu latest ver) sony vaio laptop i can pull up a terminal with alt f1 and work from there but no mouse or keyboard in x/login screen | 19:12 |
| arvind_khadri | BellinXFelon, np | 19:12 |
| saxs | tnx ubottu I'll use it | 19:13 |

| o0Chris | kaista: #ubuntu+1 | 19:13 |
| HammerHead66 | kaista: tap on the keyboard when it boots up and it will see it ok | 19:13 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: and you didn't ask for it, but if you see above, I started trying to educate you a tiny bit in what Desktop Linux is about, so you don't start trying to run loads of Windows programs in Wine :D. and nah I triggered the bot to put that | 19:13 |
| kaista | HammerHead66 tried it :/ | 19:13 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: In the human directory under /usr/share/themes I notice that after an install not all the files are updated. there is a cursor.theme file and an index.theme file which are not being changed. Is this significant? | 19:14 |
| HammerHead66 | kaista: is the Num Lock light on? | 19:14 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: If you wish to try reseting GNOME it will remove all of your custom settings, *DOT NOT RUN UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR GNOME SETTINGS WIPED* rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity | 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: if people are going to use this kind of software, then ideally they should have a general idea, about what this kind of software is about, | 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | !freedom | 19:15 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | !unix | 19:15 |
| ubottu | UNIX is an operating system created in the '70s, which has many direct derivates and inspired systems like Minix and !Linux. Most "UNIX-style" systems try to somewhat adhere to the POSIX standard. | 19:15 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: After that I'm out of ideas, sorry =( | 19:15 |

| sebsebseb | ZoOl007: oh Active Direcotry domain? | 19:16 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: No, everything should be removed, if you want run sudo rm -r on the folders. | 19:16 |

| kaista | HammerHead66 , tried it | 19:16 |
| HammerHead66 | kaista: is the Num Lock light on when you boot up? | 19:17 |
| kaista | HammerHead66, not sure when i boot, i have tried swapping tho | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | ZoOl007: what you want to know is not distro specific, so going to this channel would make sense #linux | 19:17 |
| ZoOl007 | :) thank you, I'll give it a go... | 19:17 |
| HammerHead66 | keep tapping til the light stays on if it goes off turn it on again | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | saxs: you still haven't pastebinned the output of the terminal | 19:18 |
| kaista | HammerHead66, nice ill try in a little while.. if your still on ill let you know what happened | 19:18 |

| arvind_khadri | Mr_Cheese, gparted | 19:21 |
| fearful | Voxicles, make it a script and put it in /etc/init.d it will load on startup | 19:21 |
| arvind_khadri | gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys (KEYS)" to get the keys, then "gpg --export -a (KEYS) | sudo apt-key add - fuks | 19:22 |

| fuks | how add it?:< | 19:22 |
| fuks | ok | 19:22 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: After running that and reapplying the themes what happens? | 19:22 |
| arvind_khadri | Mr_Cheese, to resize a partition it should not be mounted use a gparted live cd | 19:22 |
| invisibleninja | any good domain registrar/host? I was hosted with Dreamhost, but since some days my server is constantly 500ing, and just now they made me pay $20 for a domain name that they didn't even register. Really pissed! | 19:22 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: Did the remove and the .old go. | 19:22 |
| JMFTheVCI | I will try another re-install. | 19:22 |
| === evalles__ is now known as effie_jayx | ||
| fearful | Mr_Cheese, it can't be mounted meaning if its a partition you have to do it through the livecd | 19:23 |
| Voxicles | not quite sure how to make it a script lol | 19:23 |
| Mr_Cheese | arvind_khadri, oh ok, yeah thats why i was asking since this is my only OS on it right now... so do i use ubuntu live cd and run gparted then? | 19:23 |
| psychic | can any one tell mea program to convert videos to mp3 on xubuntu | 19:23 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: This is truly a very odd problem. | 19:23 |
| fearful | Voxicles, you should learn the basics of bash scripting, its useful | 19:23 |
| arvind_khadri | Mr_Cheese, you can find the gparted live cd only :) | 19:23 |
| Mr_Cheese | fearful, yeah i was just asking because in windows you can do the changes you want and it will just partition on next reboot | 19:23 |
| Mr_Cheese | arvind_khadri, ok thx | 19:23 |
| fearful | Mr_Cheese, yea on linux it has to be unmounted :\ | 19:23 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: I will restart x again | 19:24 |
| maximumbob | #opencog | 19:24 |
| Voxicles | indeed, I should. Just trying to get everything running smoothly | 19:24 |
| codazoda | How do you change the area where icons appear on the gnome desktop? | 19:24 |
| fearful | arvind_khadri, thats not true, sudo apt-get install gparted will get you gparted | 19:24 |
| metalfan_ | hi | 19:24 |
| Mr_Cheese | fearful, he was talking about the gparted live cd to boot to | 19:24 |
| arvind_khadri | Mr_Cheese, as on the boot the partitions arent mounted | 19:24 |
| Mr_Cheese | arvind_khadri, right i was thinking linux would have a similar program to make it easier to do re-partitions | 19:24 |
| arvind_khadri | fearful, he wants to edit the root partition, you cant edit it while its mounted | 19:25 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: Any luck? | 19:25 |
| fearful | arvind_khadri, I know I told him this I thought you just said that gparted was only avaliable on LiveCD | 19:25 |
| fearful | arvind_khadri, my mistake. | 19:25 |
| arvind_khadri | fearful, no :) | 19:25 |
| metalfan_ | im currently running archlinux and would like to take a look at ubuntu, i found this with google: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html the guide lists dpkg as "standard linux tool" which is of course not the case...do i need something else besides dpkg on a non debian system to install ubuntu this way? | 19:26 |
| arvind_khadri | fearful, its okkkkkk | 19:26 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: no. I am reluctant to hose all the .xxx files in my home dir. Is there a particular file that records desktop settings? | 19:26 |
| Tryfon | hi guys am having trouble with an ofstream... when the program writes on the file the following error occurs in the file(text file) : Could not open the file /home/tryfonas/generations.txt using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding. | 19:26 |
| arvind_khadri | Mr_Cheese, aah , need to be thought upon | 19:26 |
| Mr_Cheese | arvind_khadri, maybe in jaunty :) | 19:26 |
| clancy | is it "better" for the hardware to always use the lastest kernels? | 19:26 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: Yes, run this rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity, it will reset everything to defaults. | 19:26 |
| arvind_khadri | Mr_Cheese, no, gprated should implement it :) | 19:26 |
| Mr_Cheese | arvind_khadri, well lets talk to those guys then :p | 19:27 |
| arvind_khadri | clancy, if your hardware is working with the present one, then no need | 19:27 |
| psychic | sorry if everyones busy dont mean to seem impatient just wondering if there is an xubuntu friendly program to convert mp4to mp3 | 19:27 |
| arvind_khadri | Mr_Cheese, :) sure | 19:27 |
| codazoda | Does anyone know what you might call the area on your desktop where icons are allowed to be positioned? Where they snap back to? | 19:28 |
| clancy | ok | 19:28 |
| Mr_Cheese | psychic, mp4 is a video file, mp3 is an audio file, so you want to convert video to audio? | 19:28 |
| NeoDragon | hi | 19:28 |
| psychic | i had one for windows maybe a means of seperating the two? | 19:28 |
| JEEBcz | Mr_Cheese, don't forget that the .mp4 files are just marked by their container | 19:28 |
| arvind_khadri | !hi | NeoDragon | 19:28 |
| ubottu | NeoDragon: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 19:28 |
| clancy | when my hardware won't be compatible with the next ubuntu jaunty kernel, can i always use the intrepid kernel in the future? | 19:28 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: You might also try removing everything in ~/.themes/ | 19:28 |
| JEEBcz | So basically they're probably AAC in MPEG-4 Part 14 >_> | 19:28 |
| Mr_Cheese | JEEBcz, ok well if he wants to convert mp4 audio to mp3 audio, lots of programs can do that | 19:29 |
| sarmisak | hi all | 19:29 |
| JEEBcz | Mr_Cheese, yup | 19:29 |
| metalfan_ | codazoda, desktop | 19:29 |
| Mr_Cheese | audacity | 19:29 |
| psychic | for xubuntu? | 19:29 |
| NeoDragon | I installed hardy on my father-in-law's PC yesterday and set it up to dual boot windows xp, and now when it boots all you see on the screen is an message that says "ERROR 21" can any one tell me what that means? | 19:29 |
| JEEBcz | or ffmpeg etc. etc. | 19:29 |
| safruhani | hi sarmisak :) | 19:29 |
| lesshaste | hi.. I am trying to get sound to work for the first | 19:29 |
| lesshaste | time | 19:29 |
| JEEBcz | he could even use mplayer to play and then pipe into neroaacenc | 19:29 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: FIXED!!! I went into the customise option for the theme and removed the "Controlls" Human entry. I then re-installed the Human theme and all is back to norm. | 19:29 |
| lesshaste | how can I test it? | 19:29 |
| Mr_Cheese | psychic, yes for xubuntu, try audacity | 19:29 |
| dan457 | transcode is command line, there are a varity of front end programs that will use it. | 19:29 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: Sweet =) | 19:30 |
| arvind_khadri | clancy, how do you know its not compatible? kernels are made sure to have reverse comptability | 19:30 |
| psychic | ok thanks | 19:30 |
| JEEBcz | And again I forgot what was first and what was second >_> Btw, was audacity ok with aac source? | 19:30 |
| clancy | arvind_khadri, so a piece of hardware will always be supported by the kernel? | 19:30 |
| dan457 | Audacity supports most formats out there. | 19:31 |
| arvind_khadri | clancy, afaik yes | 19:31 |
| NeoDragon | <NeoDragon> I installed hardy on my father-in-law's PC yesterday and set it up to dual boot windows xp, and now when it boots all you see on the screen is an message that says "ERROR 21" can any one tell me what that means? | 19:31 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: Clearly whatever the Contolls item for a theme does it is separate for the actual theme installed. It does have a big impact when something goes wrong. | 19:31 |
| clancy | ok i see, i thought they end the support one day that the kernel won't be bigger and bigger | 19:31 |
| clancy | but...the hard disks also are bigger and bigger | 19:31 |
| Mr_Cheese | i saw 1tb external drive, for $100 :O | 19:32 |
| JMFTheVCI | evilGUI: Thanks for all the suggestions. | 19:32 |
| arvind_khadri | clancy, it does :) but thats not a issue, they even try to make the code smaller :P | 19:32 |
| evilGUI | JMFTheVCI: no problem. | 19:32 |
| NeoDragon | I installed hardy on my father-in-law's PC yesterday and set it up to dual boot windows xp, and now when it boots all you see on the screen is an message that says "ERROR 21" can any one tell me what that means? | 19:32 |
| Mr_Cheese | hard drive failure? | 19:32 |
| HammerHead66 | NeoDragon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2567919 this tells you about error 21 | 19:32 |
| JEEBcz | dan457, yeah - I know it does, I just never really tried it with aac - although if it's based on libavcodec I can understand if it can decode a lot of stuff ;) | 19:32 |
| arvind_khadri | !grub | NeoDragon | 19:32 |
| ubottu | NeoDragon: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 19:32 |
| clancy | arvind_khadri, ok thank you :) | 19:32 |
| arvind_khadri | clancy, np | 19:33 |
| dan457 | NeoDragon, Error 21 means "Can not find disk" | 19:33 |

| Mr_Cheese | grubs are disgusting little creatures | 19:33 |
| Mr_Cheese | OT sorry | 19:33 |
| dan457 | error 21 is usualy caused by bad drive settings in your bios. | 19:33 |

| arvind_khadri | rebel_, run nvidia-xconfig as root | 19:45 |
| Quazar | oCean_, what do you mean? | 19:45 |
| Winol | sarmisak, it works under WinXP :/ not on ubuntu ..; it's supposed to be the opposite :) | 19:46 |
| FireHopper | ugh, too much work atm. maybe I can get the ethernet working | 19:46 |
| _DEL | arvind_khadri, sry abt that. http://paste.ubuntu.com/136214/ | 19:46 |
| rebel_ | arvind_khadri: I tried that.. same thing | 19:46 |
| oCean_ | Quazar: well, the link that pasteeater send you contains lots of info (pros/cons for 64bit) But in general - one would not really notice discernable differences (in speed, that is), Since 64bits binaries are not twice as fast as 'normal' 32bits | 19:47 |
| arvind_khadri | rebel_, make an entry in xorg.conf | 19:47 |
| Quazar | So there wouldnt really be a difference | 19:47 |
| Quazar | pasteeater said he uses 64bit for a lot of video stuff | 19:48 |
| MeXTuX | I switched from GNOME to Fluxbox and when I was using GNOME my keyboard layout was "es". But now the layout is "us" and don't know how to change it to "es" on Fluxbox. Does somebody know how to fix this?? :( | 19:48 |

| maxb | BlackBeast: Why did you install 7.10 ? That's nearly a year and a half old? | 19:53 |
| maxb | and about to pass its end-of-life | 19:53 |
| tiagofalcao | bunjee: Try change the main server | 19:53 |
| dorian | #connect ubuntu-fr | 19:53 |
| bunjee | do not understand | 19:53 |
| maxb | bunjee: Package downloads are not special, they're just downloads - so to speed them up, try using a mirror server closer to you | 19:54 |

But I can't work out how to remove inactive members. | 19:55 |
| tiagofalcao | bunjee: System>Adm>Soft Sources | 19:55 |
| tiagofalcao | bunjee: change "Download from:" | 19:55 |
| bunjee | then change software source? | 19:55 |
| BlackBeast | maxb: i have only that.. | 19:55 |
| sebsebseb | CameronShorter_: sure you are and I am Donald Duck :D I think most people that are luanchpad memebers woudn't use this channel | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | CameronShorter_: I mean that want to do your kind of thing | 19:56 |
| Time`s_Witness | how can i check if my micro is working please? :x | 19:56 |
| bunjee | i just figured it out I think - i'll give it whirl | 19:56 |
| saxs | Hi all. Sebsebseb has been trying to help me but I have found some broken packages which WINE depends of... here's the pastebin url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/136225/ | 19:56 |
| maxb | CameronShorter_: Launchpad help is best obtained on #launchpad | 19:57 |
| saxs | Can anyone help to fix'em? | 19:57 |
| CameronShorter_ | Thanks maxb. | 19:57 |
| _DEL | arvind_khadri, http://paste.ubuntu.com/136222/ is dmesg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/136226/ is dmesg | tail | 19:57 |
| saxs | Pls? | 19:57 |
| fearful | saxs, you can't remove them automatically by fixing them on the synaptic manager or apt-get? | 19:57 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: I think he tried that, and what makes things worse for us, his install and so terminal output goes in Spannish | 19:57 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: and he said no one in ubuntu-es could help | 19:58 |
| saxs | I tried but I can't on synaptic | 19:58 |
| saxs | don't know why | 19:58 |
| fearful | saxs, I can speak spanish perfectely, matter fact its my native language | 19:58 |
| maxb | saxs: At a guess, based on those errors, I'd suggest you might be trying to install the wrong version of WINE for your distribution | 19:58 |
| josh-l | hey folks, just installed a package, trying to start app, getting: rekonq: symbol lookup error: rekonq: undefined symbol: _ZN10QBoxLayout10setStretchEii | 19:58 |

| marek__ | hi i have two coputers, one is on my desk at work - and it has access to ftp server, and i also have one in my home, it has a different IP and has no access for that specific server. How can i "tunnel" the connection between them? i already installed ssh server on my work PC | 19:59 |
| Sjord | It contains these files: http://rafb.net/p/GROEQG78.html | 20:00 |
| saxs | ok fearful open me a pvt when you're done... and tnx a lot! | 20:00 |
| josh-l | metalfan_: dpkg | 20:00 |
| metalfan_ | josh-l, ok...just checking the obvious...cant help...sry | 20:00 |
| maxb | <maxb> saxs: At a guess, based on those errors, I'd suggest you might be trying to install the wrong version of WINE for your distribution | 20:00 |
| maxb | saxs: ^^ Does that guess sound possible? | 20:00 |
| tj83 | marek__, can you be more specific as to what you want to accomplish? i use FTP, VNC, SSH, and PPTPD-VPN from work to home... might be able to help | 20:01 |
| voice5sur5 | how to quite by force a fullscreen mode? | 20:01 |
| pinkpotato | How would I mount an AFP share? | 20:01 |
| maxb | josh-l: That sounds like a dependency version problem. How (with exact commands) did you install the problem app? | 20:01 |
| artemis | does any1 use tvtime ?? | 20:01 |
| Sjord | Normally, GNOME packages have the GNOME-team under "Uploaders" in the debian/control file. Should I keep that? | 20:02 |
| marek__ | tj83 any type of tunneling that is easy :) | 20:02 |
| marek__ | i thought about vpn but i remember that one i used simple CLI for that | 20:02 |
| voice5sur5 | how to quite by force a fullscreen mode? | 20:02 |
| artemis | why do i have blue screen when i start my tvtime ? | 20:02 |
| josh-l | maxb: exact command: "sudo dpkg -i rekonq.deb" | 20:02 |
| slops17 | hey all | 20:02 |
| fearful | saxs, pm me | 20:02 |
| bunjee | tiagofalcao - thanx for the info - it's faster than.............. | 20:02 |
| tj83 | marek__ tunnel for what? tunnel would to me be described as a carrier for another service.. for example to tunnel VNC over SSH... your trying to access file shares? desktop? | 20:03 |
| vito_ | ciao a tutti | 20:03 |
| josh-l | maxb: it was built on a jaunty system, i'm running intrepid | 20:03 |
| slops17 | i am trying to install ubuntu server | 20:03 |
| vito_ | hi | 20:03 |
| maxb | Sjord: #ubuntu-motu is a quieter channel where you can get help on producing packages for contributing to Ubuntu | 20:03 |
| maxb | josh-l: Then that is the problem. | 20:03 |
| josh-l | ah bummer | 20:03 |
| slops17 | after the install has completed i get to a grub menu | 20:03 |
| tj83 | marek__ is it the FTP you want to tunnel over ssh? | 20:04 |
| slops17 | but cant do any thing | 20:04 |
| artemis | why do i have blue screen when i start my tvtime ? | 20:04 |
| marek__ | tj83 i mean this: i need to upload soe files, and edit some scripts on a server, that is only accesible from y work, i would like to do it from my home with my other PC | 20:04 |
| * taec wishes he remembers how he got his sound working on this Vostro laptop before. argh. | 20:04 | |
| vito_ | i'm using jaunty. good distro. only a problem i can't resolve. can i ask here? | 20:04 |
| marek__ | i have ssh access from work | 20:04 |
| maxb | josh-l: Also, whoever built it, didn't get the packaging quite right, or dpkg would have indicated the unmet dependencies | 20:04 |
| tj83 | marek__, then that needs to be configured in the work router to forward specific ports to your work machine. making access from home possible. | 20:05 |
| slops17 | is there a better channel for support on my issue | 20:05 |
| josh-l | maxb: is some how maybe if i extract the package i can find out what the unmet dep is? | 20:05 |
| marek__ | tj83 i addedd 22 port fowarding to that work PC before | 20:05 |
| marek__ | i can access to it via ssh | 20:05 |
| vito_ | i can't install serpentine | 20:06 |
| fearful | sebsebseb, CTPC? | 20:06 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, why not | 20:06 |
| tj83 | marek__, ok, so if you can ssh into your work PC from home, then you need to set up the same kind of forward for your server that you need to access... only cant use 22, will have to use another port... which is safer anyways | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | fearful: yeah whatever that is, and it tells me what client your running | 20:06 |
| caimlas | does anyone know what this avahi is, and how I'm supposed to use/utilize it on a network? is it possible to centralize it (ie give a specific system authority) and have it replace, say, dns + dhcp services on the network? | 20:06 |
| vito_ | it depends on python4-suite-xml | 20:06 |
| marek__ | tj83 yup, i addedd 2000 port fowarding | 20:07 |
| fearful | sebsebseb, oh | 20:07 |
| vito_ | wixh depends on python <2.6 | 20:07 |
| Tryfon | hi guys . now here is my problem i did this humble program called the game of life. it gets input from the input file and outputs the generations in the generation file(all files are .txt) but i get a problem in outputting . | 20:07 |
| josh-l | maxb: is some how maybe if i extract the package i can find out what the unmet dep is? | 20:07 |
| SteWieH | is tanyone know where I can find linux drivers for my linksys wireless card? | 20:07 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, what do you do to install it? apt-get install? | 20:07 |
| Tryfon | and a screeshot of the error in the output file is here: http://i43.tinypic.com/16is9dc.png | 20:07 |
| vito_ | yes | 20:07 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, you can try apt-get update first to see if the problem is already fixed | 20:08 |
| dan457 | marek__, sounds like it might be simpler to just install openvpn server on your work computer and use that to join your home computer to that network. | 20:08 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, also try sudo aptitude install serpentine | 20:08 |
| vito_ | i tried but it is not fixed | 20:08 |
| tj83 | marek__, you forwarded it in the router in addition to the sshd : /etc/ssh/ssh_config ? | 20:08 |
| voice5sur5 | HOW to quite fullscreen mode? | 20:08 |
| maxb | josh-l: The problem is almost certainly that Intrepid's libraries are too old to run something built on Jaunty. So you're not going to be able to fix this by installing something extra. You need to rebuild the package on Intrepid. | 20:08 |
| marek__ | tj83 i dont know | 20:09 |
| vito_ | in lanchpad they say there is a bug in python4-suite-xml | 20:09 |
| josh-l | maxb: ah ok, i'm no good at building packages | 20:09 |
| slops17 | are there any server specailists in here | 20:09 |
| tj83 | marek__, you will need to make the server "listen" for port 2000 in /etc/ssh/ssh_config file by uncommenting the line that has #port 22 to port 2000 (without #) | 20:09 |
| * taec kicks alsa and it's stupid muted devices | 20:09 | |
| erUSUL | slops17: #ubuntu-server ? | 20:09 |
| slops17 | thanks | 20:09 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, so wait for the fix or use a different application | 20:10 |
| erikh | greetings; how do I configure a static route (additional to my gateway) with the network configuration in debian/ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| marek__ | tj83 but i also would have to connect from my home to port 2000? | 20:10 |
| vito_ | i tried to build this package from the source with no success. | 20:10 |
| afallenhope|work | !gpg | 20:11 |
| ubottu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 20:11 |
| erikh | I'd prefer not to write an init.d script for this | 20:11 |
| tj83 | marek__, yes of course... you would instead of "ssh user@ip" it will be "ssh user@ip::2000" | 20:11 |
| Nasra | sebsebseb: hello... | 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: hi | 20:11 |
| marek__ | ok what next tj83? | 20:11 |
| Nasra | hi where you been? | 20:11 |
| vito_ | it is possible to do so? | 20:11 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, no | 20:11 |
| Nasra | everything ok | 20:11 |
| daftykins | erikh, "route -n" to view on command line, then "route add gw x.x.x.x y.y.y.y" where x= network address IP and y = subnet | 20:11 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, the problem is python, so wait for the fix there | 20:11 |
| vito_ | ok | 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: oh my Pidgin is closed | 20:11 |
| marcel1607 | vito_, the bug has to be fixed, its not a packaging problem | 20:11 |
| vito_ | thank you | 20:12 |
| tj83 | marek__, thats it... you should be able to ssh to either your desktop box with port 22 or the server with port 2000 | 20:12 |
| Nasra | no problem... | 20:12 |
| erikh | daftykins: a) it's not my gateway, and b) I'd like to do it in /etc/network so it establishes it on start | 20:12 |
| Nasra | that is okay.... | 20:12 |
| Joker_-_ | I have added a line in rc.local (2 lines if you count the "pause 20") but it's not executing at boot. If I run the command myself it runs fine... why? | 20:12 |
| erikh | I know how to use `route` | 20:12 |
| daftykins | ah ok erikh | 20:12 |
| ubuntunoob | hi. can anyone confirm that usb wifi adapters do not work with any current linux kernel? | 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: this is all off topic, pm is better :D well I am about to be on Pidgin again | 20:12 |
| _DEL | can someone help me with gparted? | 20:12 |
| Nasra | sebsebseb: what is the name of that website for linux? | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | !ask | _DEL | 20:12 |
| ubottu | _DEL: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: which website? | 20:12 |
| marcel1607 | ubuntunoob, no cant confirm that | 20:12 |
| Nasra | camping one | 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: camping??????? | 20:13 |
| Nasra | oh no rember..no problem | 20:13 |
| Nasra | we talk later | 20:13 |
| ubuntunoob | marcel1607, i see. that's what i was told on another channel. | 20:13 |
| tj83 | marek__, i have to run for a moment /join #seaphor if you dont have success brb | 20:13 |
| Joker_-_ | ubuntunoob: my wifi connector does WORK with all the kernels I tryed | 20:13 |
| riwa | I'm having trouble with my console. It's like the whole screen is "bouncing" constantly, which makes it almost impossible to do anything but trivial work on it. What bugs me is that it actually jumps the very boot (when the bios checks memory etc). What could cause this? | 20:13 |
| marcel1607 | ubuntunoob, linux kernel has support for usb wifi, its maybe not in the default kernel config | 20:13 |
| Nasra | I willl be here | 20:13 |
| ubuntunoob | marcel1607, i'm trying to get a belkin wireless g+ mimo adapter to work with intrepid | 20:13 |
| marek__ | ssh: Could not resolve hostname 195.254.*.*::2000: Name or service not known tj83 | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: maybe someone here knows about asterisk on Ubuntu | 20:13 |
| marcel1607 | ubuntunoob, let me check, hold non | 20:13 |
| vito_ | this is the only thing that went wrong with this distro. everything else works perectly for a alpha release!!" | 20:14 |
| Nasra | I think so | 20:14 |
| ubuntunoob | marcel1607, thanks | 20:14 |

| erUSUL | ubuntunoob: find out which chip the usb wifi uses. "lsusb" may help | 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: there was some guy I could email stuff to, but I didn't round to that | 20:14 |
| _DEL | gparted will not recognize my 16G SDCard anymore, last night it saw it as fat16 partition, but it couldnt delete or reformat it. dmesg | tail result is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/136226/ | 20:14 |

| ubuntunoob | erUSUL, it's meant to use rt73 | 20:14 |
| voyagi | Is there anybody who knows any console based programs to transfer videos to an iPod? | 20:14 |
| marcel1607 | ubuntunoob, usb wireless is supported, are you able to build your own kernel? | 20:15 |
| Nasra | sebsebseb: okay....I have decided gonna learn more linux before jumping into that application | 20:15 |
| erUSUL | ubuntunoob: do you get a wlan0 device ? | 20:15 |

| ubottu | ubuntunoob, please see my private message | 20:15 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: well, good point, I always "supposed" rc.local was executable. The line is a screened virtual machine. | 20:15 |
| ubuntunoob | erUSUL, I've tried using ndiswrapper with the rt73.inf file on my belkin CD, that didn't work, also tried the serialmonkey drivers, again didn't work. | 20:15 |
| space_cadet | whaddup mike | 20:15 |

| sebsebseb | Nasra: oh right | 20:15 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: yes, it is executable... | 20:15 |
| vito_ | in the meantime i can use brasero. does it support gapless audio cd? | 20:15 |
| erikh | boscop: lspci is generally the easiest way | 20:16 |
| Drknezz | boscop, lspci | 20:16 |
| boscop | thx | 20:16 |
| Drknezz | np | 20:16 |
| erUSUL | ubuntunoob: the driver comes with the default ubuntu install no need to play games with third party drivers | 20:16 |
| Nasra | sebsebseb: by a way of pastebin....if need be to ask questions.... | 20:16 |
| erikh | boscop: lspci | grep -i video | 20:16 |
| Nasra | it's better | 20:16 |
| marcel1607 | ubuntunoob, you can build your own kernel and select usb wireless support, maybe that will work | 20:16 |
| erUSUL | marcel1607: the support is already there in default ubuntu kernels. | 20:17 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/fd57aaf2 | 20:17 |
| erUSUL | marcel1607: no need to compile anything | 20:17 |
| vito_ | (i love serpentine mainly for this reason) | 20:17 |
| chubs | d | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: no you pastebin stuff that, like terminal output, so you don't flood the channel with it | 20:17 |
| ubuntunoob | marcel1607, ah... that sounds great, i think it maybe what ubottu pm'd me... now that is all very difficult for me! ;) | 20:17 |
| space_cadet | whaddup chubs | 20:17 |
| marcel1607 | erUSUL, there are experimental new drivers | 20:17 |
| boscop | erikh, this doesn't show anything | 20:17 |
| erUSUL | ubuntunoob: can you do « sudo modprobe rt73usb » | 20:17 |
| dan-ubuntu | anyone here using jaunty? im having problems of distortion in 2ch mode, so i need to use 6ch, even though i use stereo | 20:17 |

| daftykins | have to admit erikh i have no idea how to specify a second gateway in the interfaces file | 20:18 |
| erikh | daftykins: no worries | 20:18 |
| erikh | I think our sysadmin found it | 20:18 |
| daftykins | i tried the man page and googling, nothing! | 20:18 |
| Nasra | sebsebseb: pm me when you available: gonna to eat now | 20:18 |
| erikh | daftykins: thanks for trying though | 20:18 |
| ubuntunoob | erUSUL, i can, it shows the rt73 driver is present but wlan0 doesn't show doing a iwconfig (i think that's what i did) | 20:18 |
| erikh | daftykins: yeah, I checked all the manpages I could find | 20:18 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: rc.local is ran as "root" right? | 20:18 |
| sebsebseb | Nasra: ok well I will be around later, but TV evening :) | 20:18 |

| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: then I dont see what th eproblem is | 20:19 |
| erikh | thanks :) I'll come back and mention it | 20:19 |

| Nasra | sebsebseb: okay :- | 20:19 |
| beawesomeinstead | does anyone know how adduser without Full Name, Office Phone and personal info prompts? | 20:19 |
| Drknezz | boscop, what card you have? | 20:19 |
| daftykins | sounds good! may come in handy for me in the future | 20:19 |
| erUSUL | ubuntunoob: iwconfig should tell if any interface has wirelless extensions | 20:19 |
| daftykins | boscop once your drivers are installed you can go to system -> preferences -> appearance -> "effects" tab and enable it | 20:19 |
| marcel1607 | beawesomeinstead, why not supply that on the commandline | 20:19 |
| daftykins | "visual effects" tab sorry | 20:19 |

| daftykins | if you are running 8.10 or near to that version then yes, boscop - if you have turned it on | 20:21 |

| boscop | yes, i'm running 8.10, and turned it on | 20:21 |
| Drknezz | BiosElement, bash script? | 20:21 |
| erUSUL | Joker_-_: from screen man page -d -m Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new session but doesn’t attach to it. This is useful for system startup scripts. | 20:22 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: wich is what I do... | 20:22 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/fd57aaf2 | 20:22 |
| erUSUL | Joker_-_: so use "screen -d -m restofoptions" | 20:22 |
| boscop | i though I had to install it | 20:22 |
| BiosElement | drknezz: Well it worked just by pasting it into the console. | 20:22 |
| Huufarted | Anybody able to tell me where I place custom mouse cursors? | 20:22 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: thats what Im doing... screen -dmS vbox VBoxHeadless -startvm winxp -vrdp=off | 20:22 |
| Drknezz | BiosElement, why not just taking whoami's output to your own var? | 20:22 |
| BiosElement | Drknezz: Aight, Thanks. | 20:23 |
| Time`s_Witness | any idea why do sound tests fail (trigger an error) as i try to start them at system->preferences->sound ? | 20:23 |
| Drknezz | BiosElement, np | 20:23 |
| erUSUL | Joker_-_: then i dunno; maybe it needs to be -d -m -S and it chokes at -dmS ?? some programs are weird at parsing options | 20:24 |
| Joker_-_ | erUSUL: would be strange as it works if I copy/paste the command in the terminal... | 20:24 |
| boscop | daftykins, some of the keys don't work | 20:24 |
| erUSUL | Joker_-_: well then i'm out of ideas... | 20:24 |

| === ltsmooth42 is now known as punkrockguy318 | ||

| lyhana8 | buttons1: a theme for what ? | 21:29 |

| kandinsk1 | irvingh30: don't ask to ask, just state your problem | 21:30 |
| crdlb | lyhana8: it rebuilds packages broken by ABI bumps in shared libraries; as a binary distro, ubuntu does not make you deal with that | 21:30 |

| HammerHead66 | buttons1: browse for it. | 21:32 |
| buttons1 | HammerHead66: can you tell me how to find out where the package is installed to? | 21:33 |
| kandinsk1 | irvingh30: I don't know kubuntu live, but ubuntu live just lands you in a working desktop | 21:33 |
| lyhana8 | crdlb: yep, that just to know. | 21:33 |

| irvingh30 | well kubuntu live does not, and in fact, asks you for a password and username | 21:34 |

| lyhana8 | buttons1: did you try different part of the name. Or simply try a search on google | 21:45 |
| gluxon | I've tried "exec fcsk" in the terminal and it doesn't work. | 21:46 |
| zenlunatic | frog, don't its dangerous | 21:46 |
| lyhana8 | gluxon: man fsck | 21:46 |
| oCean_ | buttons1: "dpkg -L packagename" will show you the files in that package. | 21:46 |

| cache2000 | hello! is there a spanish channel for ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| oCean_ | gluxon: it is "File System ChecK" hence, fsck, not fcsk | 21:47 |

| wrektjet | may i ask: what would the best method of transferring files from an xp machine to ubuntu desktop? | 21:48 |
| administrator__ | wrektjet usb stick | 21:48 |
| oCean_ | gluxon: I meant, "man fcsk" will not result in anything, because there is no fcsk. "man fsck" will show various uses and syntax | 21:48 |
| oCean_ | ! fsck | gluxon | 21:48 |
| ubottu | gluxon: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 21:48 |
| gluxon | Oh. | 21:49 |
| wrektjet | very large files i should say | 21:49 |
| gluxon | Sorry, I missed that. | 21:49 |

| gluxon | Thanks. | 21:49 |
| zenlunatic | adamb, sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 21:49 |
| administrator__ | wrektjet you can mount the windows hdd in ubuntu or try samba | 21:49 |
| zenlunatic | adamb, or 'echo sometext >> /etc/fstab' | 21:49 |
| lyhana8 | wrektjet: samba ? | 21:49 |

| happyslacker | lyhana8: yes, I have heard of it, but can it be used to mount remote windows shares? I wasn't clear on that in my question... | 21:55 |
| zenlunatic | happyslacker, on that device | 21:55 |
| lyhana8 | happyslacker: don't know, sorry. | 21:55 |
| wrektjet | lyhan: thnx. i was wondering if i could do it over my home network. looks like samba would do that? | 21:55 |
| happyslacker | zenlunatic: I've tried setting a umask in fstab, but it seems to have no effect. I've tried umask=000. | 21:56 |

| jo1 | ehllo' | 21:57 |
| frostburn | toni81, ethernet data, no that's over the wire, wireless data probably | 21:57 |
| lyhana8 | mengu: you need to make a partition for you linux | 21:57 |
| toni81 | i am connected to a wired and wireless acces point and want to sniff the ethernet data from my wireless conection | 21:57 |
| zenlunatic | lyhana8, he could use wubi right? | 21:58 |
| administrator__ | !samba | 21:58 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 21:58 |
| === dc_ga1 is now known as dc_ga | ||
| lyhana8 | zenlunatic: yep, but wubi make ugly install IMHO | 21:58 |
| frostburn | whitehat, I'm not aware of any net install cds, you might be able to hack something together by following the gentoo guides net install guide and substituting ubuntu | 21:58 |

| whitehat | frostburn: thank you for the response. I just found some info in the ubuntu site regarding a net install | 22:00 |
| frostburn | toni81, if you want to snoop ethernet data you'll need to install tcpdump or wireshark or something of the sort | 22:00 |
| guntbert | toni81: as far as I know: not possible, the ethernet packets are not transmitted over the air - but better ask in ##networking | 22:00 |
| lyhana8 | toni81: or aircrack-ng | 22:00 |
| toni81 | ok thanks to both | 22:01 |
| frostburn | guntbert, they can be if they're encapsulated using a different protocol, like a vpn | 22:01 |
| MadRSI | when you're running a program in the terminal, how can you run another program in the same terminal window without shutting down (crtl z) your current program? | 22:01 |

| happyslacker | oops, didn't see your post frostburn | 22:03 |
| lyhana8 | guntbert: « ethernet packets are not transmitted over the air » that was irony, wasn't it ? | 22:04 |
| Daemon | This whole forum confuses me. | 22:04 |
| frostburn | wrektjet, there's two parts to the samba package, the samba server (which allows you to host stuff on your linux box) and the samba client which allows you to access other samba servers or windows (non vista) shares | 22:04 |
| guntbert | Daemon: do you have a support question? | 22:04 |

If/when I get this working- how do I make it permanent or does lm-sensor remember the settings??? | 22:05 |

| GillaGal | Oh.. one more. | 22:30 |
| Trashi | hi. is there someone who can tell me how to update pidgin 2.5.4 to 2.5.5 ... im a ubuntu/linux newbie and i can not find tutorials and howtos... thanks | 22:30 |
| frostburn | Aggrav8d, what's the error | 22:30 |
| GillaGal | eqisow1 How's Ubuntu for supporting videocards that use HDMI output? | 22:30 |
| frostburn | GillaGal, depends on the card, usually good | 22:30 |
| signorinimatteo | zenlunatic: yes i can add a new entry but i don't know what i have to write...i have tried to add new entry but at the reboot i recieved a kernel panic | 22:30 |
| eqisow1 | GillaGal: works great, at least for nvidia. never tried ATI | 22:30 |
| HammerHead66 | GillaGal: works just fine | 22:30 |
| Aggrav8d | frostburn - mysql error 2003. i googled it but didn't get anything too helpful. sql is running and i can ping the server just fine. | 22:31 |
| HammerHead66 | GillaGal: I have ATI | 22:31 |
| lyhana8 | Trae: `sudo apt-get install pidgin` will install the lastest ubuntu version | 22:31 |
| zenlunatic | signorinimatteo, let me paste mine... i have 4 OS on mine | 22:31 |
| kemr | Does anyone here know JavaScript? (Please don't point me back to the JavaScript Room) | 22:31 |
| HammerHead66 | GillaGal: but 3D don't work yet | 22:31 |
| frostburn | Trashi, I usually install from source, apt-get build-dep pidgin then get the source and run a ./configure make make install | 22:31 |
| GillaGal | If I choose a card with HDMI output, both my video and sound will go over that single cable from the videocard, correct? | 22:31 |
| GillaGal | HammerHead66 Which card? | 22:31 |
| eqisow1 | GillaGal: yes, it will | 22:31 |
| frostburn | Aggrav8d, can you connect using the mysql cli? | 22:31 |
| HammerHead66 | ATI radeon | 22:31 |
| deany | getdeb.net < always has latest pidgin debs | 22:32 |
| xinel | 2 | 22:32 |
| eqisow1 | GillaGal: although it may not default to it, but it can | 22:32 |
| xinel | 1 | 22:32 |
| xinel | damnit | 22:32 |
| HammerHead66 | GillaGal:ATI radeon | 22:32 |
| GillaGal | HammerHead66 no 3D, is that specific to ATI cards? | 22:32 |
| Aggrav8d | frostburn - from the command line on the server, yes. remotely within our lan? no. | 22:32 |
| frostburn | GillaGal, i haven't seen sound go over the video card, at least i haven't been able to | 22:32 |
| HammerHead66 | GillaGal: I'm pretty sure it is | 22:32 |
| josh-l | does anyone know what the kde4 development packages are please? I am trying to compile something | 22:32 |
| lyhana8 | signorinimatteo: did you manage to do it ? | 22:32 |
| frostburn | Aggrav8d, check the firewall rules on your mysql, do an nmap -p 3306 mysqlhostname | 22:32 |
| HammerHead66 | GillaGal: ATI needs to update drivers for Linux | 22:32 |
| signorinimatteo | lyhana8: sorry i haven't understand u... | 22:33 |
| lyhana8 | signorinimatteo: on gentoo i do this : | 22:33 |
| lyhana8 | make menuconfig | 22:33 |
| lyhana8 | make && make modules_install | 22:33 |
| lyhana8 | cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6################### | 22:33 |

| glen_ | whats the location of the file used for mounting file systems? | 22:33 |
| lyhana8 | and then edit the grub conf | 22:33 |
| judget | I just did a fresh Ubuntu Intrepid Install and it seems that it lists part of my ATI video card incorrectly as an audio device | 22:33 |
| judget | is this a known issue? | 22:34 |
| glen_ | autofs? | 22:34 |
| GillaGal | I'd really like 3D along with both sound and video over HDMI. Can anyone suggest a good Nvidia card then? | 22:34 |
| HammerHead66 | judget: it is listed right audio does go through it | 22:34 |
| signorinimatteo | lyhana8: i have done the same things but it doesn't work form e | 22:34 |
| signorinimatteo | for me | 22:34 |

| shausam27 | is there a way to remove the password on a hd that was once someone else owned | 22:35 |
| judget | Hammerhead> why is that? | 22:35 |
| wrektjet | does anyone know a program that will help me open a bin file | 22:35 |
| lyhana8 | signorinimatteo: you should add new entry into your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:35 |
| HammerHead66 | judget: I'm not really sure that just the way it is | 22:35 |
| HammerHead66 | *that's | 22:35 |
| signorinimatteo | lyhana8: i know but i don't know what i have to write to it | 22:35 |
| twolane | wrektjet: chmod +x name.bin ./name.bin | 22:35 |
| lyhana8 | signorinimatteo: you at the previous entry | 22:36 |
| judget | OK because on this system I had been messing with installing the ATI proprietary video drivers and i noticed that the audio stopped working | 22:36 |
| zenlunatic | shausam27, what kind of passwd? | 22:36 |
| judget | thats why i just did a fresh install to try to figure this out | 22:36 |
| lyhana8 | title Ubuntu 8.04.2, kernel 2.6.24-23-generic | 22:36 |

| shausam27 | hdd | 22:37 |
| LSD200 | judget: some ATI cards do have their own audio chip for the hdmi out | 22:37 |
| lyhana8 | what the matter with the bot ? how many line i've the right to paste ? | 22:37 |
| fearful | lyhana8, 3 | 22:37 |
| chupy | what distro do u recommend for an too old pc a compaq presario 460 16mb ram 512mb in HD | 22:37 |
| fearful | wow | 22:38 |
| eqisow1 | chupy: You'll probably need something like damn small | 22:38 |
| lyhana8 | fearful: I paste 2×2 and got an alert | 22:38 |
| judget | THis card has a VGA port a DVI port and an S-video port no HDMI | 22:38 |
| wrektjet | twolane: ive been trying that | 22:38 |
| fearful | prolly still too fast lyhana8 | 22:38 |
| oCean_ | lyhana8: you should try to avoid to paste here anyway. You can use pastebin service. Also you can install program "pastebinit" which sends output to pastebin automatically | 22:38 |
| orbisvicis | how do i find my version from the terminal ? | 22:38 |
| lyhana8 | eqisow1: chupy ins't xubuntu aimed to this kind of pc ? | 22:38 |
| chupy | eqisowl... yes... it has 60mhz procesor | 22:38 |
| lyhana8 | fearful: oki | 22:38 |
| eqisow1 | lyhana8: not 16mb of ram, no. xubuntu is way too big for that machine | 22:39 |
| LSD200 | judget: you can get a special dvi -> hdmi adapter | 22:39 |
| lyhana8 | oCean_: for 3-4 lines it's uselees IMO | 22:39 |
| kemr | Does anyone in here know JavaScript? (Please Don't Point me back to ##JavaScript) | 22:39 |
| === nomike is now known as Guest4023 | ||
| chupy | lyhana8 thats to hard XD | 22:39 |
| lyhana8 | oh~ indeed eqisow1 | 22:40 |
| judget | OK thanks LSD200 ---Anyone have a good link with instructions on installing the ATI drivers for Cinerama | 22:40 |
| wrektjet | what is the directory path that i should follow? b/c | 22:40 |
| HammerHead66 | judget: DVI needs an adapter to become HDMI | 22:40 |
| brous | kemr -> i point you back to #javascript :P | 22:40 |
| kijutsu_ | isn't /var/log/secure supposed to be auto rotated? | 22:40 |
| shausam27 | s there a way to remove the password on a hdd that was once someone else owned can not format the hdd | 22:40 |
| wrektjet | chmod /home/marc/Documents/Completed Torrents/VTC.Ubuntu.Linux.Tutorials-NSiD/nsid-vtcu | 22:40 |
| chupy | only 16mb 456mb HD like 60 MHZ.. compaq presario 460 | 22:40 |
| oCean_ | lyhana8: you have to abide by the rules of the channel, other make that effort, so should you. | 22:40 |
| brous | shausam27-> no need to recover data correct? | 22:40 |
| wrektjet | Twolane: whats the mistake there | 22:40 |
| HammerHead66 | judget: it should have come with the video card | 22:40 |
| kemr | brous Thanks. I'm in that room too. The thing about ##JavaScript is that it's filled only with people with questions about JavaScript. No one in there actually has any answers. | 22:41 |
| Aggrav8d | frostburn: nmap -p 3306 localhost says the port is open. | 22:41 |
| lyhana8 | oCean_: i just take it from a usability point of view, i totally agree taht a 15 lines paste is awful, but 3-4 line isn't so annoying | 22:42 |
| mib_kolm4fld | hi im trying to copy a file to my ubuntu server with winscp but im getting permission denied any ideas? | 22:42 |
| lyhana8 | kemr: waht your problem ? | 22:42 |
| twolane | wrektjet: no chmod parameter for one. | 22:42 |
| judget | No it did not it is a Radeon 2400 it came with a dvi-VGA, a SVideoCable and a RGB S video looking adaptor | 22:42 |
| lyhana8 | mib_kolm4fld: via ssh ? | 22:43 |
| mib_kolm4fld | i try to change permission in winspc | 22:43 |
| mib_kolm4fld | nah | 22:43 |
| mib_kolm4fld | via winspc | 22:43 |
| chupy | no one? | 22:43 |
| HammerHead66 | judget: you can buy it if need be | 22:43 |
| mib_kolm4fld | i tried sftp and scp both give me permission problem | 22:43 |
| lyhana8 | mib_kolm4fld: but which protocol/server answer on the ubuntu machine ? | 22:43 |
| Xintruder | hi | 22:44 |
| mib_kolm4fld | lyhana8 not sure what u mean | 22:44 |
| SeanTater | My suspend isn't working (my computer stays on), but the monitor is already off. How do I keep the monitor on so I can see any error messages? | 22:44 |
| twolane | wrektjet: are you attempting to chmod nsid-vtcu ? | 22:44 |
| Xintruder | how can i bback up my system files and configurations? | 22:44 |
| Xintruder | will i lose the folder hierarchy if i back up?> | 22:44 |
| judget | is there a dependable post on HOW TO installing the ATI drivers or the GUI ati Catalyst config for Linux? | 22:44 |
| lyhana8 | mib_kolm4fld: do you use a SSH server, an FTP server ? | 22:44 |
| mib_kolm4fld | i had to use mkdir to make folder because of permission problem | 22:44 |
| kemr | lyhana8 I'd like someone to take a look at the script in the paste bin ( http://erxz.com/pb/16486 ) and help me figure out how to have it list related posts without first reposting the post labels, and without the strange line to the left of the entries. For an example of the script in action take a look at my page (http://www.bloggingguy.com/2009/03/five-steps-to-happier-life.html) | 22:44 |

| twolane | wrektjet: chmod +x /full/path/to/nsid-vtc.ubuntu.bin | 22:45 |
| lyhana8 | mib_kolm4fld: do you add your user to the authorized users ? | 22:45 |
| SeanTater | Xintruder: You don't need to back up the entire system usually. /home/yourusername holds almost everything you need except program files (which can be reinstalled) | 22:45 |
| mib_kolm4fld | my username is the main user | 22:46 |
| mib_kolm4fld | theres no other users | 22:46 |
| shausam27 | dose any one no how to remove pass on hdd | 22:46 |
| twolane | wrektjet: better to cd to it's directory first. | 22:46 |

| lyhana8 | mib_kolm4fld: did the user/acount you use to connect to the ubuntu machine have the correct right to mange the files ? | 22:46 |
| jmcneill | Wireless card is an iwl3945, and dropping back to 2.6.27-7 makes it work again; anybody else seen this? | 22:47 |
| mib_kolm4fld | i mean maybe i can do chmod or something | 22:47 |
| kemr | lyhana8 I missed anything you said after I posted my problem. Sorry, Pidgin crashed. Could you send it again? | 22:47 |
| mib_kolm4fld | well i never changed it its basically what user profile you use when you're installing ubuntu server | 22:47 |
| mib_kolm4fld | it creats one username right | 22:47 |
| mib_kolm4fld | its thgat default one | 22:47 |

| mib_kolm4fld | lyhana8: im not too proficient in linux | 22:48 |
| twolane | wrektjet: use tab completion, it's safer and easier | 22:48 |
| Chousuke | Predominant: hm. there was a way to fix that. | 22:48 |
| mib_kolm4fld | chupy: u can run puppy linux | 22:48 |

| judget | Hammerhead so they are saying to use the System...Administration...Hardware Drivers as the best way to do this, do you agree? | 22:50 |
| Chousuke | Predominant: it's not the server. | 22:50 |

| aelin | I have no idea, really. | 23:47 |

| FireFreek | Does the ubuntu server come with Transmission? | 23:55 |
| Slart | Petein: I think that's the one, yes | 23:55 |
| blip99 | FireFreek: it's in the repos | 23:55 |
| aelin | synaptic | 23:55 |
| FireFreek | Alright. | 23:55 |
| blip99 | aelin: ok just find it, right click and uninstall | 23:55 |
| blip99 | aelin: use the search button to search for "nvidia" then find the driver, the box will be green | 23:56 |
| aelin | did that, it's still conflicting somewhere, and when I go to hardware, there are no proprietry drivers available for my system, apprently | 23:56 |
| Slart | Dwade09: I can't even get that video to play.. | 23:56 |
| blip99 | aelin: maybe you have to restart the system, or at least restart X | 23:56 |
| aelin | blip99, did that several times | 23:56 |
| aelin | If someone would check it out | 23:57 |
| Dwade09 | Slart, i am sorry but that is the direct link to the vid | 23:57 |
