| g4lt-lappy | Zedde, good news/bad news. ther's a bug on it. investigating | 00:03 |
| fooey | my 8.10 livecd freezes during bootup at "starting bluetooth"; google returned a few results citing a conflicting tv tuner card, but I have none of those. any ideas? | 00:04 |

| g4lt-lappy | Zedde, A newer kernel (2.6.27-2-generic, latest from intrepid) now detects the device without any changes being required to option.c or any explicit forcing of module loading. | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | panus: what happens when you try to boot up Ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| g4lt-lappy | zedde intrepid's up to 2.6.27-14 now | 00:06 |
| panus | blank screen, i hear the disc running to a point then nothing happens | 00:06 |
| Zedde | okay | 00:06 |
| panus | I tried the recovery mode | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | panus: the disc? a Live CD? | 00:07 |
| g4lt-lappy | just get the new kernel, and you should be in like flynn. you can find out your present kernel via unam -a | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | panus: oh the hard disk? | 00:07 |

| sebsebseb | panus: ok so not a hard disk problem | 00:08 |
| fooey | seb, at least tell me where to search | 00:08 |
| fooey | and I recognize that you're busy with someone else | 00:08 |
| g4lt-lappy | zedde and networkmangler is still missing it? | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: search for what? | 00:08 |
| fooey | it's just that I'm in a bit of a hurry | 00:08 |
| fooey | my 8.10 livecd freezes during bootup at "starting bluetooth"; google returned a few results citing a conflicting tv tuner card, but I have none of those. any ideas? | 00:09 |
| fooey | help with that | 00:09 |
| panus | seb: i read that it might be something with xorg.conf | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: I don't use bluetooth | 00:09 |
| fooey | neither do I | 00:09 |
| fooey | and that's the problem :\ | 00:09 |
| panus | could that be corrupted? how can I change back to the riginal | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: you can remote bluebooth | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | remove | 00:09 |
| panus | also I am a linux pro-noob | 00:09 |
| fooey | I don't have any bluetooth devices in my pc | 00:09 |
| fooey | seb, how? | 00:09 |
| panus | pre-noob | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: your in there now? | 00:09 |
| fooey | nope, refuses to boot | 00:10 |
| fooey | just freezes at "starting bluetooth" | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | panus: sure Xorg could have gone wrong | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: odd | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | panus: as for your data in Ubuntu, you can always access that, and I would recommend doing a seperate home partition for it | 00:10 |
| fooey | yup :\ | 00:10 |
| hajmola | does anyone else have the google earth problem where it won't display anything unless you run it as sudo? I don't want to run it as sudo. | 00:11 |
| docidu | any way i can make my gnome task bar have multiple lines? all the icons disapear after i get 30 or so windows open | 00:11 |
| panus | i was waiting for the new ubuntu version to do format my hard drive | 00:11 |
| g4lt-lappy | brandon_, so basically cp couldn't find ircd.conf IN YOUR CURRENT DIRECTORY. there's two ways to fix that, one, provide the proper directory, or two, change to the right directory | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | panus: the Live CD will let you have access to the Ubuntu partition, as well as the Windows partition as long as it was shut down properly | 00:11 |
| Zedde | g4lt-lappy: Hmm I feel abit stupid , haven't that on my system | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | panus: yeah and then you can go like Ext4 | 00:11 |
| Zedde | well installing network-manager | 00:11 |
| g4lt-lappy | Zedde, you do, it's the networking icon on the taskbar | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: have you tried recovery mode? | 00:12 |
| Zedde | I'm not running x | 00:12 |
| Zedde | just shell | 00:12 |
| panus | i was going to do that but I needed to do a presentation and it got f''çked | 00:12 |
| g4lt-lappy | ahh, that would explain it | 00:12 |
| fooey | ugh, nope | 00:12 |
| Zedde | can't be done ? | 00:12 |
| panus | can I do something to get back on now? | 00:12 |
| g4lt-lappy | zedde you're pretty much going to want X, since the networkmanager is a X app | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | panus: you can get to your data yes | 00:12 |
| fooey | what should I do exactly? | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | panus: as for Ubuntu itself, I am not sure what has happended | 00:13 |
| g4lt-lappy | ubuntu is pretty GUIcentric | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | panus: ,but xorg sounds likely | 00:13 |
| Zedde | g4lt-lappy: I guesst that | 00:13 |
| panus | any hints where i can get some advice? | 00:13 |
| Mr_Wiggles | gui ooey | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: boot the computer up and select recovery mode from the bootloader | 00:13 |
| wTFl0l | When is the new version coming out? | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: that will let you uninstall bluetooth stuff | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: as well as fix things like xorg and what not | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | wTFl0l: 23rd April as far as I know | 00:14 |
| fooey | but I haven't even installed ubuntu yet :> | 00:14 |
| fooey | hence the livecd | 00:14 |
| g4lt-lappy | zedde anyways, try playing with networkmanager in X, I'm pretty sure you have it found, and then you can work from there in console | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: oh bluetooth goes wrong on the LIve CD? | 00:14 |
| fooey | yup | 00:14 |
| [MindVirus] | Is there a way in VNC to make the server (the screen) connect to the person who wants to see it, instead of the other way around? | 00:14 |
| Zedde | I can install, X just don't like to have it to start all the time | 00:14 |
| wTFl0l | Cool | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: did you MD5sum the Live CD I guess not | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 00:14 |
| Zedde | g4lt-lappy: will do | 00:14 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 00:14 |
| Zedde | g4lt-lappy: thanks | 00:14 |
| fooey | actually, I did | 00:14 |
| g4lt-lappy | Zedde, not all the time, just for now to prove everything's working | 00:15 |
| fooey | and it passed it perfectly | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: the code comparison test? | 00:15 |
| fooey | yup | 00:15 |
| Dulak | [MindVirus]: vnc has a callback mode where the client connects, then disconnects and the server then connects back to the client, but the client still has to initiate the connection | 00:15 |
| fooey | and I've used the same cd to install on another pc | 00:15 |
| g4lt-lappy | tghen you should be able to figure out what networkmangler is doing and replicate in consiole | 00:15 |
| Zedde | g4lt-lappy: I understand will test it :) I gues apt-get install x ? | 00:15 |
| [MindVirus] | Dulak, no, I need the server connect to the client. | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: ok how old is that computer? how much RAM? | 00:15 |
| meganerd | what kind of computer fooey? CPU, video card, etc | 00:16 |
| Zedde | or x11 | 00:16 |
| Dulak | [MindVirus]: yes, and I just explained that callback mode, which is the closest thing to what you want is not exactly what you want, but is similar | 00:16 |
| g4lt-lappy | Zedde, not really, ubuintu is pretty much going to have X unless you specifically uninstalled it | 00:16 |
| hajmola | does anyone else have the google earth problem where it won't display anything unless you run it as sudo? | 00:16 |
| fooey | well, it's a bit old :> | 00:16 |
| meganerd | Or you install ubuntu-server | 00:16 |
| g4lt-lappy | so you should be able to just tyep startx from a console, | 00:16 |
| [MindVirus] | Dulak, apparently the server can make a java applet effectively working as the client. | 00:16 |

| fooey | hmm? | 00:17 |
| meganerd | I have done a lot of server installs, none of them had X, gdm etc | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: I don't know what your problem is, but sure bluetooth stuff should be able to remove that | 00:18 |
| g4lt-lappy | fooey, I don't envy you your machine right now, 256M RAM isn't going to be very speedy when all the GUI is loaded | 00:18 |
| Dulak | I always start with a server install, even on a desktop machine, then add desktop apps as I need/want them | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: ,but not if your booting from a live cd | 00:18 |
| meganerd | probably a boot option, check the cheatsheet | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: yes if the Live CD won't boot up, well nothing you can do | 00:18 |
| fooey | g4, yeah, I know that :\ | 00:18 |
| Dulak | fooey: xfce is a lightweight gui that works on 256m of ram just fine | 00:18 |
| meganerd | Try the alternate install CD | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: if the Live CD won't boot up properly, something wrong with the computer. and it's not, because it has 128MB RAM or so | 00:19 |
| * g4lt-lappy had iussues with 612 and had to $pend to get a gig installed :( | 00:19 | |
| * fooey coyly notes his developing world status | 00:19 | |

| fooey | there's nothing I can do to get my hands on better equipment :\ | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | meganerd: his issue is that bluetooth stuff stops his live cd from loading | 00:20 |

| sebsebseb | fooey: ok well there are other distros as well :d if nessarey | 00:20 |
| meganerd | which he was using to install Ubuntu? | 00:20 |
| Jan` | We have a network of mainly Windows XP computers and one eee-pc, which runs ubuntu. | 00:20 |
| fooey | is there someway to tell the livecd to ignore loading the bluetooth modules? | 00:20 |
| g4lt-lappy | fooey well, first we have to get things booting. if it's the live, you can't mess with /etc/mosules, so you're going to have to go an alternate route | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | fooey: tell meganerd your error | 00:20 |
| Jan` | While the eee can see the internet, samba keeps breaking - it can't see file and print shares on the main XP box. | 00:20 |
| trokep | Titan8990: thanks for your help | 00:20 |
| trokep | #part | 00:20 |
| Jan` | Occasionally we come here and someone tells us to type some stuff, which fixes it for a bit, then it just breaks again. Can we make it work and, y'know, keep working? | 00:20 |
| Dulak | Jan`: that depends on the stuff people tell you to type to make it work | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: these computers are for what? | 00:21 |
| fooey | meganerd: my 8.10 livecd freezes up on bootup at "starting bluetooth", google mentions some conflicting tv tuner cards, but I neither have those nor bluetooth devices | 00:21 |
| Jan` | We suspect it may be to do with hibernating the laptop. | 00:21 |
| Jan` | But we're not sure. | 00:21 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, well, depends, ar eyou wanting to learn how to get it done or just type some stuff? | 00:21 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: I just want it to work. | 00:21 |
| Jan` | I don't have the laptop here right now, but in general... I mean... what should we be looking at? | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: what is this network for? ,because if you have money, you could pay Canocial to do proper suppourt, and that's how they make their money servers and such | 00:21 |
| Dulak | Jan`: are you running the stock ubuntu kernel on the eee-pc or the eee-pc one? | 00:21 |
| g4lt-lappy | then ifyou don't want to put in the work figuring iout why and how to resolve it, you'll just type in stuff, it'll work a while, then you'll be back | 00:22 |
| Jan` | It's the thing that used to be called ubuntu-eee before ubuntu decided to make them call it something else. | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: ah ha easypeasy | 00:22 |
| Jan` | So I'm not even that clear on whether it is or isn't ubuntu anymore. | 00:22 |
| Jan` | The project claims it's called easypeasy, but it says UBUNTU on the screen in big brown letters, so, ehr. | 00:22 |
| g4lt-lappy | okay, well, what is the actual issue first of all? | 00:23 |
| dannyboy79 | holding down the backspace key no longer works in my terminal in Feisty, any ideas? | 00:23 |
| Dulak | Jan`: it's ubuntu on the inside but the kernel is different and has some extra apps to make working with the eee-pc easier | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: to confuse things there is the one that got renamed to Easypeasy, but also one from Canocail it seems that is "offical" and they seem like the same thing | 00:23 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: Oh, joy. | 00:23 |
| Jan` | Jere | 00:23 |
| progre55 | Titan8990, lol, now I dont see any wireless networks :) | 00:23 |

| dannyboy79 | it used to backspace through everything while holding it down, now it doesn't | 00:23 |
| Zedde | I could try a live cd see if it works :) | 00:23 |
| g4lt-lappy | dannyboy79, try del. if that works, stty erase ^h | 00:23 |
| Titan8990 | progre55, lspci -k so the correct drivers? | 00:23 |
| Jan` | Here's the topology: there's an ADSL modem connected to a switch/hub/whatever. The XP boxes are on the hub, and can all see the net and each other. The eee-pc is on a wifi router that's connected to the hub, and it can see the internet but not anything else. Other wifi devices can see the XP boxes on the hub, and occasionally the eee can too. | 00:24 |
| UnderTaker | is there a risk for cross linked files if free space is at 3%? | 00:24 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, what exactly is the problem, what is it failing and how is it failing it? | 00:24 |
| dannyboy79 | g4lt-lappy: nope, delete just makes my computer beep, nothing gets erased. | 00:24 |
| Jan` | We're not aware of changing anything but it just starts and stops working randomly. | 00:24 |

| Jan` | All the XP stuff Just Works, including other wifi devices, and an ipod touch can get at websites served from one of the XP boxes via wifi, so I'm fairly sure it isn't a network issue. | 00:25 |

| yondaime | some 1 help me with Assuming you have made some changes to a system configuration file. How would you | 00:28 |
| yondaime | activate the changes by executing the startup script? In other words, which input-argument should | 00:28 |
| yondaime | you use? | 00:28 |
| Dulak | Jan`: I have an acer that's very close to the eee, the wireless driver is wonky and I get things very similar to what you describe | 00:28 |
| knoxville | sebsebseb, what tool or program should I look into | 00:28 |
| dannyboy79 | g4lt-lappy: i meant just "putty" sshing into my box | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | knoxville: you have to buy a domain name | 00:29 |
| Jan` | Dulak: What's odd is that it can see the net, but not the other boxes? That's a very odd bug, if that's a hibernate issue. | 00:29 |
| g4lt-lappy | dannyboy79, it sickens me to say thins, but when's the last time you rebooted? | 00:29 |
| knoxville | sebsebseb, I own a few domain names | 00:29 |
| === hix is now known as hil | ||
| docidu | um, routes? mabey its trying to route your trafic to the otherboxes on your subnet out your internet connection? | 00:29 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, I'll bet that your netmask is off | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | knoxville: well yeah I guess you can get a email program that does your domain name email, but I don't really know about that stuff, that much | 00:29 |
| dannyboy79 | g4lt-lappy: uptime shows 19:29:39 up 28 days, 9:03, 3 users, load average: 4.31, 4.00, 2.82 | 00:29 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: I'd agree, but we have the ubuntu box on a fixed IP. | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | knoxville: ,but paid web hosts for example, tend to provide people with email addresses's at the domain name they have | 00:30 |
| dannyboy79 | g4lt-lappy: it's a mythtv and ssh server. | 00:30 |
| Jan` | Now to be fair it does routinely forget which IP it's supposed to be on, but we checked that too. | 00:30 |
| g4lt-lappy | dannyboy79, two issues, that 4.7 load may slow down your keyboard, and second, did you just update the kerel? | 00:30 |
| Jan` | (it also forgets all its wifi settings and passwords, and we know that, so we checked all that too) | 00:30 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, fixed IP might not mean that the netmask doesn't change | 00:31 |
| progre55 | Titan8990, why is it so? why is it still there? I mean, ath5k ) | 00:31 |
| Dulak | Jan`: windows networks are a little goofy, it sounds like maybe the eee is becoming the master browser for the network, then hibernating, when that happens the rest of the network elects a new master browser, but your laptop comes back from sleep and thinks it's still the master browser and it hoses you | 00:31 |
| Dulak | Jan`: just a guess | 00:31 |
| hey` | does anybody knows, why when I visit sites, that have flash effects, instead of that effect I only get to see a big "play symbol"? | 00:31 |
| Jan` | Dulak: That would be a major samba bug, if that were the case. | 00:31 |
| Titan8990 | progre55, I am not sure... | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: did you install Flash? | 00:31 |
| g4lt-lappy | hibernate with wireless means "go ahead and rebuild the network when you wake" | 00:31 |
| Jan` | It's supposed to sort that out. | 00:31 |
| Titan8990 | progre55, but anyways, I am in class and about to take a quiz :( | 00:31 |
| hey` | yes <sebsebseb> | 00:32 |
| dannyboy79 | g4lt-lappy: 4.7 load is because of using makedvd -burn from tovid an no I didn't just install new kernel. still using 2.6.20-17-generic | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: which browser? | 00:32 |
| * Jan` has spent a significant part of her life going over wireshark logs of netbios activity, and has no wish to do so again | 00:32 | |
| progre55 | Titan8990, wow, good luck, man! :) | 00:32 |
| hey` | firefox | 00:32 |
| progre55 | Titan8990, and appreciate all the support! | 00:32 |
| JoTrocken | knoxville: I solved the NFS problem I wrote about some hours ago by reinstalling nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server on both server and client | 00:32 |
| hey` | I have always had this problem.... dunno what it s | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: again, which browser? | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | oh | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | you said ok | 00:32 |
| hey` | <sebsebseb> firefox | 00:32 |
| Jan` | in any case, if it's samba acting up, is there some sort of "master reset" we can use on samba? | 00:32 |
| g4lt-lappy | dannyboy79, anything change before your keyboard went wonky? | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: ok has Firefox been told to use, Flash in it's settings? | 00:32 |
| Jan` | I'm asking general questions because this is a waste of our and your time, is all. I can't *keep* coming back here to fix the dratted thing. | 00:33 |
| knoxville | JoTrocken, thats awesome man, congrats! | 00:33 |
| hey` | sebsebseb lemmie check, but I'm pretty sure yes. | 00:33 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, actually, you can tell samba in smb.conf to not be master | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: if you have money, pay the company behind Ubuntu, for suppourt, and I expect they will sort you out nicely | 00:33 |
| Jan` | But the company behind ubuntu has expressly disowned ubuntu for the eee :/ | 00:34 |
| dannyboy79 | g4lt-lappy: not that I am aware of. I don't even get updates anymore because I am still using Feisty. | 00:34 |
| zeropointo | does ubuntu have any trouble with nVidia RAID 0 installs? | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: oh I see, well there are other netbook friendly distros for EEPC | 00:34 |
| dannyboy79 | g4lt-lappy: i gotta go, thanks for trying to help. | 00:34 |
| deadlock | Hi all Is there a way to use networkmanager to share a wireless connection to a wired hub connected to NIC | 00:34 |
| Gnea | Jan`: is that what they're saying over in the #ubuntu-eeepc room? | 00:34 |
| hey` | sebsebseb, I can see in prefferences "java enabled" but anything related to flash. | 00:34 |
| Jan` | I didn't know there was one :) | 00:34 |
| Gnea | :) | 00:34 |
| g4lt-lappy | dannyboy79, well, something presumably has changed, if you cna find that, and undo it, you may be back | 00:35 |
| Gnea | yeah, not sure that the company is giving up on it, but I'm sure the community won't let it go | 00:35 |
| yondaime | any1 can help me with scripting ? | 00:35 |
| g4lt-lappy | deadlock, it's an option, yes | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: are you sure you don't have a, don't display Flash, add on installed? | 00:35 |
| hmw | i'd need some sort of audio compressor for my crappy notebook has not-so-good speakers. Is there something, that would help me? | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: the box your talking about, sounds like something an addon can do | 00:35 |
| deadlock | g4lt-lappy: I tried with the 'shared to other computers' But on my PC's connected to the hub, I get a message "limited or no connectivity." | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: there is play? and you press play and you get Flash? | 00:36 |
| Dulak | Jan`: 9.10 is focusing on netbooks, that's why canonical is refusing support, they will be coming up with fixes for all the little issues in a future release | 00:36 |
| docidu | Flashblock is nice, but hey, i just use the adobe flash and it makes it so nothing loads right anyway | 00:36 |
| Jan` | Dulak: There's not a cat's chance in a hot place that we're reinstalling this thing - we just got it working (nearly) the way we want! :) | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | docidu: lol | 00:36 |
| Jan` | Actually my worst fear is that it'll break somehow and we'll have to reinstall it. | 00:37 |
| * Jan` shudders | 00:37 | |
| g4lt-lappy | deadlock, hmmm, having not messed with shared connex, I'm guessing that you still need to be running dhcpd to assign address n'stuf | 00:37 |
| Gnea | yondaime: anyone might, someone could, everybody probably won't, and no one will unless you let us know what kind of script and what it is it's supposed to do | 00:37 |
| gsp2009 | hey all. I am running 8.04. As of yesterday, I am having an issue where everything is really fast. My system clock is running about 4 times too fast. I checked RAM and no errors. Anyone else ever see this? | 00:37 |
| Dulak | Jan`: in october when 9.10 comes it should be a LOT easier on you | 00:37 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, okay, back up smb.conf before you go messing in it | 00:37 |
| hey` | sebsebseb, I was just checking addons, and there's nothing related to block flash effects... and well, they work when I play them.... but not in all websites. | 00:37 |
| Dulak | Jan`: just explaining why canonical has disowned all these netbook issues | 00:37 |
| Jan` | Dulak: I think we'd probably live with running files around on compactflash cards, to avoid having to reinstall it. | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | gsp2009: ,but really fast than really slow? ,but seriously for a start how much RAM do you have? is it 32bit or 64bit? | 00:37 |
| docidu | actually i cant seem to get flash functional in intrepid 64, at least not fully so...i meen i can watch youpor.....err...youtube just fine, but never can get zero punctuation reviews to load | 00:37 |
| deadlock | g4lt-lappy: ok. Hmm. It seemed that the pc's were getting a IP, one was X.X.X115, and the other way X.X.X.121 | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | gsp2009: that was meant to start with: better really fast than really slow? | 00:38 |
| deadlock | So i guess i'll mess with it somemore. | 00:38 |
| Jan` | The only real issue is that if my pal writes documents on the eee in openoffice and we sneakernet them over to windows for printing, the fonts are all different, so his layouts get screwed up. | 00:38 |
| Jan` | We worked around that by sending PDFs. | 00:38 |
| g4lt-lappy | deadlock, did they get the right gateway? | 00:38 |
| hey` | sebsebseb, it's weird, but that problem, specially websites that are fully charged with flash effects freeze my machine. | 00:38 |
| fooey | how long before I ask my question again? | 00:38 |
| Jan` | We have actually got to the point where he'll email me stuff to print, from a computer ten feet away. The power of unix! :) | 00:38 |
| gsp2009 | sebsebseb, 32 bit... 2 gb... no fast as in good fast. Can hardly type because the keypresses scream characters across the screen | 00:38 |
| salah | Any idea how to install the ATI driver when the Hardware Manager fails? (I press Activate, it asks for root password and then nothing happends) | 00:38 |
| deadlock | g4lt-lappy: That's a good question I'll have to make sure they are the same. | 00:38 |
| g4lt-lappy | janagain, you might want to just tell smb.conf to not make your eee a master | 00:38 |
| gotcha | Jan` | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: that's not weird, I have had freezing and really slow Ubuntu problems, because of Flash in Ubuntu's Firefox | 00:39 |
| gotcha | try giver | 00:39 |
| progre55 | hey people, I have 2 kernels, 2.6.27.11 and 2.6.27.7. How can I remove the 27.7 one?? safely :) | 00:39 |
| deadlock | They should be what my PC thats sharing connection outs Ip is? | 00:39 |
| Gnea | fooey: 5 minutes | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: how much RAM do you have? | 00:39 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: I might come back and ask about that when I actually have access to the laptop. | 00:39 |
| g4lt-lappy | deadlock, yes | 00:39 |
| Ed54 | does brasero burn dvds that can be played by a dvd player? I have a limited amount with me and don't want to waste any to find out on my own | 00:39 |
| hey` | sebsebseb: 1GB | 00:39 |
| Jan` | But jeez, guys, how broken is that?! | 00:39 |
| docidu | hey`, i get simular....occationally have to kill Firefox from terminal | 00:39 |
| Dulak | Jan`: try setting samba to deny the master browser and see if it helps, I can't think of anything else that would cause the issue you describe | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | gsp2009: ok I don't know, but hopefully there will be someone else here that does soon | 00:39 |
| deadlock | g4lt-lappy: Thanks for the possible lead. I'll have to try it tommorow when I get back to work. | 00:39 |
| deadlock | Haha | 00:39 |
| Jan` | Although: if it was just samba, we'd be able to ping. And we can't even ping. | 00:39 |
| g4lt-lappy | jan okay, smb.conf's pretty self-documented IME though | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | gsp2009: altough maybe your hardare clocks are just set up wrong | 00:39 |
| tech_help | I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 labtop and would like to get the second monitor to work, how do I do that? | 00:39 |
| docidu | hrmm, i quickly learning that 4gig is just not enough...i think i need another 4....im always running into swap | 00:40 |
| gsp2009 | sebsebseb, it is llike my machine is on speed. Other people having the same prob? I checked the clocks. Nothing has changed. | 00:40 |
| salah | !ati | 00:40 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:40 |
| Jan` | smb.conf is a hive of scum and villainy that scares the hell out of me. | 00:40 |
| hey` | sebsebseb: it's strange, it should work fine with this RAM.... if I visit youtube... instead of videos I also see that play symbols... | 00:40 |
| g4lt-lappy | jan well, start by breaking big probklems into smaller ones until you can find something you can solve, then solve them | 00:40 |
| hey` | and videos don't work quite alright! I have to wrap the time bar to play them after | 00:40 |
| banisterfiend | Jan`, oh chosen love! oh frozen love! oh tangle of matter and ghost! oh darling of angels, demons and saints! and the whole broken-hearted host! gentle this soul... | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: ok yes 1GB RAM, if we got 1GB RAM, FIrefox can use to much etc, and problems with Flash | 00:40 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: I guess it would be a good idea to sort out the basic tcp/ip connection first, then worry about samba. | 00:41 |
| Dulak | sebsebseb: you can set a limit on how much ram firefox uses in about:config | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: Firefox has also done very high CPU usage on my computer | 00:41 |
| * g4lt-lappy wonders if the stupd apt-get upgrade is done yet | 00:41 | |
| hey` | sebsebseb: strange since my winblows partition do not complain about it, and play those flash effects smooth :( | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | Dulak: well it's CPU mainly in my case, but things are diffenret now on this 9.04. 8.10 was worse | 00:41 |
| g4lt-lappy | #$%^ lilypond anyways | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: indeed, Flash always seems to work in Windows | 00:41 |
| * g4lt-lappy personally uses noscript anyways | 00:42 | |
| hey` | sebsebseb: but I don't wanna switch to windows :( | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: maybe Flash didn't get installed on your computer properly, hence those play buttons | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: yes and you don't have to | 00:42 |
| hey` | hehe | 00:42 |
| Sagaci | if I upgrade to the alpha or beta 9.04 now, can i simply upgrade to the final release when it comes out | 00:42 |
| Jan` | This'll get me flamed, but I wish people would just use windows and stop trying to be clever :/ | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: you want to see Youtube videos ok, what about other Flash usage? | 00:42 |
| docidu | but hey, usually fo flash i just launch firefox out of a virtual box and stuff works fine, but its a flaey workaround | 00:43 |
| hey` | alright... I'm gonna check that flash installation again sebsebseb ;) | 00:43 |
| gsp2009 | so the seconds on my system clock are going about 5 times too fast. this is causing everything to run weird. anyone? | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | Sagaci: yes, but the alpha is not that good, don't upgrade | 00:43 |
| Dulak | Yes, cuz the solution to all problems is to never change, never evolve, just stay the same. | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | Sagaci: the beta is meant to be this Thursday, but I woudn't even recommend that you upgrade to that | 00:43 |
| docidu | ohhh no...my 'k' key is getting flakey | 00:43 |
| g4lt-lappy | Sagaci, it will always be named jjaunty jackalope, so yes, a simple sudo apt-get upgrade will get it to current | 00:43 |
| Jan` | Does anyone here have youtube working properly? | 00:43 |
| Jan` | on linux? | 00:43 |
| Sagaci | thanks | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: sure most of them do, there are other programs that can play Youtube flash videos | 00:44 |
| banisterfiend | hey guys, anyone here have experience with llvm? | 00:44 |
| banisterfiend | im running ubuntu, and i did 'sudo apt-get install llvm' | 00:44 |
| banisterfiend | and it worked successfully, supposedly | 00:44 |
| banisterfiend | but when i run llvmgcc i get this error: exec: 10: /usr/lib/llvm/llvm-gcc4/bin/gcc: not found | 00:44 |
| banisterfiend | what's the dilly? | 00:44 |
| FloodBot3 | banisterfiend: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:44 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, yeah, it's just a matter of having a working flash and allowing it through scriptblockers | 00:44 |
| docidu | Jan`, i got that other video site that starts with 'you' working...but now yourtube actually | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: in fact even totem can which comes as part of Ubuntu | 00:44 |
| Jan` | This eee-pc had it sort of working for a while. | 00:44 |
| Jan` | Performance was really crappy, and you couldn't go fullscreen | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: I also expect Gnash and Swfdec will be good enough for Youtube these days :) they are alternatives to Adobe's Flashplayer | 00:45 |
| Jan` | Recently though, it just crashes firefox if you try to view youtube. | 00:45 |
| Jan` | Reading around I got the impression that flash on linux was a bit flakey in general. | 00:45 |
| docidu | sebsebseb, yes, there are alternatives, but none of them seem to work for me in intrepid 64 with ff | 00:45 |
| Dulak | Jan`: I'm on an acer aspire one, very similar to the eee and youtube works flawlessly for me | 00:45 |
| docidu | had that experence too Jan` | 00:45 |
| Jan` | Dulak: I hate to say it, but it worked on this eee when it had windows on it. | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: yes I ran without Flash in Ubuntu, because of similar issues since last year, untill I upgraded to this 9.04 alpha6, and I got a later version of Flash, and things are better :) | 00:45 |
| Jan` | But surely all this used to work | 00:45 |
| Jan` | I remember a big fanfare when adobe released flash for linux, and it was kinda OK | 00:46 |
| Jan` | then what happened?! | 00:46 |
| fearful | Dulak, it still uses different hardware so not really similar. | 00:46 |
| areeves | maybe there's a different channel for this inquery- but is there a way to o a distupgrade to a beta? aside, that is, from using a distro CD image... | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: then they made a 64bit alpha of Flash 10 for Linux and Solaris first :) no Windows :d | 00:46 |
| hey` | sebsebseb, I was checking and I have... flashplugin-nonfree installed, maybe I'm missing somethin else? | 00:46 |
| Jan` | Does flash display big performance benefits from being 64-bit? | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | did I get confussed? two people with Flash issues? | 00:46 |
| hey` | reinstalling will help at something? | 00:47 |
| Dulak | fearful: the kernel is identical though, I'm using the eeepc kernel even | 00:47 |
| * Jan` knows the answer to that question, and would rather adobe just spent time making it *work* | 00:47 | |
| sebsebseb | hey`: uhmmmmm look at message above, that I sent to Jan regarding Flash | 00:47 |
| docidu | well, Jan` and i both seem to be haveing them | 00:47 |
| g4lt-lappy | areeves, edit /etc/apt/sources.list, s/old dist/new dist/g and sudo apt-get upodate && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:47 |
| docidu | ohh, and hey | 00:47 |
| fearful | Dulak, still the way the hardware on the acer works is different than that of the eeepc, it will make difference. | 00:48 |
| Dulak | g4lt-lappy i thought for a dist upgrade you had to use update-manager -d because it does stuff outside of apt.... that's how it was in 6.x anyways | 00:48 |
| Zedde | time to shut down the laptop and get some sleep | 00:48 |
| g4lt-lappy | dunhorsefeathers. ubuntu's been able to use apt to upgrade since day one | 00:48 |
| psst | how can I find the device relating to a usb hard drive I have just plugged in? | 00:49 |
| g4lt-lappy | Dulak, ^^^^ | 00:49 |
| Jan` | Man if I could stop people I support using apt, I would. | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | heh I have some other issues as expected since it's a development release, but upgrading 8.10 to 9.04 alpha6 has basically fixed my Flash issues it seems :d ,but yeah I get Flashplayer 10 instead 9, which can be installed into the stable 8.10 anyway | 00:49 |
| psst | and if that's a character device, how do I get a block device? | 00:49 |
| docidu | anybody know if andLinux works in virtualBox windows? | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: is that Flash 10 installed? | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: same question to you, that's Flash 10 installed? | 00:49 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, well, updatemanager isnt too hot with anything save standard in-distro upgrades | 00:49 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: No idea, it's however it came set up. | 00:49 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: I wouldn't let anyone do upgrades at all if I could help it, they break things too often. | 00:50 |
| g4lt-lappy | docidu, you can only try.... | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: well right cilck on flash and go about flash and it should say | 00:50 |
| Jan` | Waaaaay too often. If it works leave it a lone. | 00:50 |
| docidu | lol | 00:50 |
| areeves | thanks- I've done that with redhat... was worried about breakage =P | 00:50 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, well, upgrades are a non-trivial undertaking, thatsws for sure | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: make sure you got FLash 10 | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: or try Flash player alternatives such as Gnash and Swfdec | 00:51 |
| Jan` | One of the biggest problems *YOU* guys cause (smiley!) is that everyone in linux channels says a) add these apt repositories, b) type apt-get upgrade. | 00:51 |
| hey` | sebsebseb: no it's... 9.0 something | 00:51 |
| Jan` | This hoses operating systems totally. | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: that's what I thought | 00:51 |
| hey` | :( | 00:51 |
| hey` | :) | 00:51 |
| g4lt-lappy | areeves, well, if "alpha software" won't sacer you, maybe experience will | 00:51 |
| psst | or how can I run cfdisk against my usb hard drive? | 00:51 |
| g4lt-lappy | scare | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: hummmmm Ubuntu are meant to do security updates, I would have thought Flash 10 was a security updates, espesailly after I read articles about security issuse in the Flash player | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: ok get rid of that version of Flash | 00:52 |
| hey` | sebsebseb: yes sir! thanks for helping me. | 00:52 |
| g4lt-lappy | sebsebseb, with closed source stuff, all ubuntu can do is make what adobe wants available installable | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: you will get Flash 10 directly from Adobe, since Ubuntu haven't provided it to you | 00:52 |
| hey` | damn, ok I'll see. | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | g4lt-lappy: sure, but Flash 10 has been available for quite a while | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | g4lt-lappy: well I think it's stable now????? | 00:52 |
| Dulak | Jan`: I think you have a skewed view, something like 80% of updates and upgrades go fine and never show up in places like this channel, you are basing it on personal experience and watching a support channel in operation, not the full range of experience, imo. | 00:52 |
| g4lt-lappy | se4bseb1and running flashinstaller-nonfree gets the latest | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: however wait a sec | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | g4lt-lappy: if that's the case, why has that guy still got FLash 9? | 00:53 |
| g4lt-lappy | remember, all flashinstaller is is an installer script. that doesn't mean that it RAN lately | 00:53 |
| Raylz | hi, any idea how to fix this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/270790 | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: have you done all the updates for your system? | 00:54 |
| Jan` | Dulak: I dunno, I've had so much trouble. I just advise people not to do upgrades unless they actually have a problem which is specifically described as fixed in the documentation,. | 00:54 |
| hey` | yes man, all of them. | 00:54 |
| hey` | I never miss any update. | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: you just want Flash for youtube or what? | 00:54 |
| lipesco | hi | 00:54 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, I'm going to go with "don't do updates unless you've carefully thought through what you'll do when things break" | 00:54 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: The problem is that almost anything can break. | 00:54 |
| hey` | well, actually for everything! since majority of sites work with flash thingies, and it's annoying you playin them, and sometimes even not working, sebsebseb | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | g4lt-lappy: indeed for development versions of Ubuntu | 00:55 |
| lipesco | hi | 00:55 |
| g4lt-lappy | note I never said IF things break | 00:55 |
| Dulak | Jan`: That's a decent policy, I'm not arguing with you on that point, just that you're generalizing on insufficient data. | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: maybe you should try Gnash and Swfdec, they are coming along nicely | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: just certain FLash will still need Adboes | 00:55 |
| g4lt-lappy | hings WILL bfreak eventually, don't do the update unless you;re prepared for it | 00:55 |
| wolter | does anybody know if evolution has a ppa? | 00:55 |
| Jan` | I'm generalizing on my experience, which is in general that this "linux is reliable" thing may be true if you set up a web server and let it run, but god it's nowhere near true as a desktop OS. | 00:55 |
| wolter | i want 2.26 | 00:55 |
| lipesco | \o_ | 00:55 |
| Dulak | Jan`: I've had the opposite experience, things have almost never broken for me, and I update and upgrade constantly | 00:56 |
| g4lt-lappy | andoesn't matter. I say the same for any OS. "don't update unless you have aplan for breakage" | 00:56 |
| Dulak | Jan`: it's just a matter of perspective | 00:56 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: indeed, but that's, because the majority of hardware manufactures do not suppourt it properly, and their excuse like the games companies will be, "lack of market share" | 00:56 |
| hey` | sebsebseb, well one of those, worked pretty bad.... at the beginning, but that was a long ago. | 00:56 |
| lipesco | hi | 00:56 |
| hey` | but I'm gonna prove them again. | 00:56 |
| Jan` | It's not hardware usually. | 00:56 |
| docidu | Jan` try like arch or deb or cent or something if ya want rock solid, ubuntu is kinda about leading the pack , at least thats how i see it | 00:56 |
| Jan` | This ubuntu version for the eee has been specifically modified, so it works pretty well. | 00:57 |
| fooey | ok, my 8.10 livecd freezes upon bootup at "starting bluetooth", google returns a few results citing conflicting tv tuner cards but I neither have those nor bluetooth. any ideas? | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: and most software for Windows is rubbish anyway :D ,but yet people want this and that Windows app working in Ubuntu | 00:57 |
| Mobius_thought | where can I find startup scripts? I had used webmin to add a few, and I broke webmin... now I don't know where to go in CLI to undo my changes | 00:57 |
| Jan` | I think that netbooks and such are a good place for linux to try and get more market share. | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: you a synaptic guy? instad of terminal? | 00:58 |
| Jan` | Mainly because all you really need is office and a web browser. | 00:58 |
| g4lt-lappy | Mobius_thought, /etc/init.d is where the scripts go | 00:58 |
| Imperkani | Running Ubuntu 8.10 on my Acer Aspire One. Works great :) | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: indeed, and a lot of Linux netbooks were sold last year, but a lot went back to, because people didn't know how to use them properly | 00:58 |
| hey` | sebsebseb: lol, well I don't mock pretty much with this things, so I guess, yes I'm a synaptic guy, tho, I'm looking for a gnash .deb this time. | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: oh it's not Windows, what do I do with this? oh I am not not a geek, Windows works for what I do, and so those netbooks got returned | 00:59 |
| Jan` | Yeah they have like four times the return rate of XP. | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: if companies are going to sell LInux netbooks, they should provide proper suppourt for it :) ,but they don't, and this is all off topic | 00:59 |

| qah661 | Hello. Anyone here? | 00:59 |
| Jan` | This eee was sold with windows on it. | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: Gnash is in the repo as well as Swfdec, easier to install them from command line :) easier to install apps you know the name of from commandline | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | hey`: however for apps your not sure the name of or want to find out the version for, well sure why not, Synaptic | 01:00 |
| qah661 | I am using Ubuntu server edition (which is of course comand line). How can I set a staic ip for my computer? | 01:00 |
| Mobius_thought | okay, so I had a server program, Ventrilo, that couldn't find its .ini file, so I just added a cd /path/to/ventrilo and sudo for the script... is it safe to say this is probably why another script quit working? | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: lol you gave money to MS yet again | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: you could have bought a EEPC with Xandros Linux on it | 01:01 |
| Jan` | I know people who have those | 01:01 |
| Jan` | It's a bit crappy | 01:01 |
| qah661 | Oh never mind. I found out. Thanks | 01:01 |
| g4lt-lappy | they still make xandros? | 01:01 |
| Jan` | There should be less distros. | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | g4lt-lappy: yes, and Xandros also bought Linspire, but most people that got an EEPC with Xandros wiped it and put another distro on | 01:02 |
| Mobius_thought | less redundant distros, anyway | 01:02 |
| docidu | xandros is still trying to make a commertial linux, presto is their latest project, quick boot minimal linux | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: wrong, this is Linux, Linux is about choice, this is not Windows, where you get what MS give you, and then if you want some other feautre or whatever, you can get some rubbishey 3rd party software | 01:02 |
| g4lt-lappy | god it was bad enough when corel had it | 01:02 |
| hey` | sebsebseb: I just got gnash .deb from "ftp.debian.org" and let's see what happens, and hey thanks a lot for your help and your attention, very cool from you :) | 01:02 |
| Jan` | the only reason I even have anything to do with these things is that there's a specific version of ubuntu for it | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | computing has always been about choice, except when it comes to Microsoft! | 01:02 |
| Jan` | Choice is fine but linux has choice to the point that it's totally fragmented, and that's a pain in the ass. | 01:03 |
| Mobius_thought | sebsebseb- yeah but most distros are the same OS, with a different package set.. if people learn how to use a package manager, many of those differences become redundat | 01:03 |
| docidu | its different ways of looking at things | 01:03 |
| scream | Why does Jaunty now work with my ATI card? | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | !jaunty | scream | 01:04 |
| ubottu | scream: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 01:04 |
| g4lt-lappy | scream, you're complaing that it now works?! | 01:04 |
| eaxxae | Jan`: it's not just about package management, its about the way things are setup as well | 01:04 |
| dan457 | Newer drivers | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | cool that one has been updated for the actsaul release date | 01:04 |
| eaxxae | not all dist are created equal | 01:04 |
| Jan` | eaxxae: It's package management and config files, boy oh boy does ubuntu love config files. | 01:04 |
| scream | s/now/not | 01:04 |
| scream | sorry | 01:04 |
| scream | correction: Why does Jaunty not work with my ATI card? | 01:04 |
| Jan` | there's like 1001 places for config files to be, and in each of those, there's 1001 config files. | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: boy oh boy, does Windows love it's stupid registry | 01:04 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: At least it's in one place in one format. | 01:05 |
| g4lt-lappy | ahh, that maks it different. well, one can presume that one of the changes negatively affected fglrx or whatever | 01:05 |
| Jan` | the way linux does config is just a *disaster*. | 01:05 |
| wolter | sebsebseb, is he talking about window's mess? | 01:05 |
| melik | how can i archive a specific file using the rar command; but i want the archive to be split into 200 megabyte files :/ | 01:05 |
| dr_willis | I feel the way windows does things is more of a disaster | 01:05 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, better than one place that can kill fof the system if it messes up, the registry | 01:05 |
| wolter | Jan`, common.. please reconsider saying that. | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: Unix has always done computing better :) and Linux distros are based on Unix. do you even know what that is? | 01:05 |
| wolter | Jan`, in case you didn't know, ubuntu has a 'registry' as well. | 01:05 |
| Dulak | Jan`: you put all the config in a single place like the registry you get total system failure from a single point | 01:05 |
| Jan` | Package management on linux is flaky but what gives me headaches is config. | 01:05 |
| sebsebseb | wolter: it does???? | 01:06 |
| wolter | Jan`, what setting do you want to change? I'll help you. | 01:06 |
| wolter | sebsebseb, gconf | 01:06 |
| g4lt-lappy | wolter I have yet to see a single file that will make ubuntu refuse to boot at all | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | wolter: he has a mixture of OS's on some network, and his EEPC won't work that well | 01:06 |
| Jan` | wolter: Whatever one it is that makes networking not work in a complicated way. | 01:06 |
| A-KO | how do I save iptables rules? | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: do you know about the freedoms that are gained from this type of software? no I guess not | 01:06 |
| scream | As in, I filed this bug, it was changed to INVALID, I don't really understand this, does this mean I should purchase a new video card? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/347639 | 01:06 |
| gonein | if i put 5 video cards/monitors and have 5 usb keyboards/mouses on 1 computer, is there a way in ubuntu where each could run off the system together and share the cpu/ram/disk but each be doing something different? | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: Do you know about Unix? and do you know about software freedom? no and no? | 01:07 |
| Mobius_thought | what are the rules of init.d scripts in Ibex? I broke my startup routine by adding a script which cd's and sudo's a program... what alternative do I have, to help the thing find its .ini file (in the same darn directory) | 01:07 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: Don't talk to me about this whole "free software" thing. I'm not a coder and neither are my friends, so open source doesn't really have any impact on us. | 01:07 |
| melik | how can i archive a specific file using the rar command; but i want the archive to be split into 200 megabyte files :/ | 01:07 |
| dr_willis | gonein: ive seen some special softeare to help doing that.. its proberly doable with some major xorg.conf tweaking also | 01:07 |
| Jan` | If you're a software engineer fine, but if you're not, it's really irrelevant. | 01:07 |
| wolter | Jan`, what do you mean? do you have no internet? | 01:07 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: I am just a user, and even as users it's good to know about the differences between opensource and freesoftware :) that's right they are not quite the same thing even | 01:07 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: and even as just users their are a lot of benefits | 01:07 |
| Jan` | wolter: The issue is that the ee can see the internet, but not other XP machines on the LAN. | 01:07 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: The only thing I notice is that open source software is usually really hard to install and configure, and I don't mean anything nasty by that, it's just what I find. | 01:08 |
| wolter | Jan`, do you have samba installed? | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | Jan`: ive see wjhere GNOME has issues 'browsing' the windows shares. if i put in the full path/name to the share - it will see it.. or ya can mount the share manually via the command line | 01:08 |
| Jan` | wolter: Yes, but it works sometimes, then stops working. | 01:08 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest51803 | ||
| Jan` | When it doesn't work we can't even ping the eee, and it can't ping us. | 01:08 |
| wolter | Jan`, I must admit, samba support is not excellent--distant from being excellent, but it might work sometimes. | 01:09 |
| Jan` | dr_willis: Yeah, you have to type smb://wherever/ | 01:09 |
| Saib00t | Hey guys im wondering if UBUNTU supports international languages. | 01:09 |
| Jan` | wolter: We noticed. | 01:09 |
| wolter | Jan`, well, why don't you use lanshark, or ftp? | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | if you cant even PING it.. that dosent sound like the issue | 01:09 |
| Jan` | dr_willis: Yeah, but what, then. | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: was Firefox hard to install nope????? how about Open Office? again nope. oh the list gose on and on. was Ubuntu hard to install or your easypeasy whatever thingey? nope. ,but yes if you want software that is more hard to install and set up you have the choice here. | 01:09 |
| Dulak | The weird part is the internet still works | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | i would check all cables. and as a test also try out some other live cds/disrtos to see if it stays with the os . or not | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | Saib00t: indeed it does | 01:09 |
| ubuntu_ | Saib00t: yes it does. | 01:09 |
| funkyHat | Saib00t: yes, you can even choose which language to run the installer in when you boot it up | 01:09 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: It was really freaking hard to install, it took like 2 days. | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | Saib00t: on the Live CD you get a choice of languages | 01:09 |
| scream | Anyone able to help, should I restate my question? | 01:10 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Imperkani | ||
| Saib00t | sebsebseb, i meant like... lets say you install an english version. are you able to switch languages within the OS without re-installing? | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | hard to install? Installing ubuntu on my AcerAspireOne took me about 30 min.. | 01:10 |
| Jan` | What I really want to do is kinda norton-ghost it, so I can reinstall it again if I want to. | 01:10 |
| funkyHat | Saib00t: yes | 01:10 |
| Jan` | I'm really scared that it'll break at some point. | 01:10 |
| wolter | scream, restate, please. | 01:10 |
| Saib00t | alright thanks funkyHat | 01:10 |
| scream | As in, I filed this bug, it was changed to INVALID, I don't really understand this, does this mean I should purchase a new video card? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/347639 | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: installing Ubuntu is easy on the desktop and anything based on it. this is also off topic. | 01:10 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: same for me, it was so easy I was actually surprised | 01:10 |

| Imperkani | same tyoe of machine too | 01:11 |
| Imperkani | type* | 01:11 |
| dr_willis | ubetbootin and a thumbdrive made it even easier | 01:11 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: Well, installing it on the eee was kinda OK as it is set up to do it, but doing random hardware is really difficult, I know, I've done it heaps of times. | 01:11 |
| dr_willis | there is that EEEbuntu variant. or whatever name they are using now | 01:11 |
| Jan` | dr_willis: yeah, that's what we got. It sorta works, ish. | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: yeah random hardware as you say difficult, because the hardware manufactures do not provide suppourt for that hardware with Linux | 01:12 |
| funkyHat | scream: It looks like Bryce has misunderstood you when you said "I had to apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx" | 01:12 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb: Well sure, but whatever the reason, it's a PITA. | 01:12 |
| wolter | scream, i understand that jaunty doesn't work with ati yet. | 01:12 |
| scream | funkyHat, should I reopen the the bug and explain better? | 01:12 |
| funkyHat | scream: Actually other people are saying that Jaunty+ATi isn't working yet so maybe I'm wrong | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: why do you even use Linux? it seems you like Windows a lot | 01:13 |
| scream | wolter, and funkyHat do y'all know if this is a issue that will be fixed? | 01:13 |
| Jan` | I just have a couple of pals who wanted to put ubuntu on eee-pcs. | 01:13 |
| Jan` | I mean I told them not to ) | 01:13 |
| Jan` | :) | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | i will admit that XP works well on my AAO. but i couldent get windows 7 to even install to it. | 01:13 |
| Mobius_thought | yeah I like ubuntu 8 server a lot more than the desktop, personally | 01:14 |
| wolter | scream, no. I just read a few lines from the link you posted. | 01:14 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: what model is it? the D150? | 01:14 |
| variable | I have a program which requires a BSD version of make - which program is that? | 01:14 |
| * g4lt-lappy usually only installs things he doesn't like for people if they are willing to fix them themselves | 01:14 | |
| variable | what do I need to install ? | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | Im not sure.. it came from walmart. with XP, and a 120gb hd | 01:14 |
| Jan` | I only said I'd help them because there was a specific version engineers for the hardware. | 01:14 |
| wolter | scream, it is highly likely that it will be fixed. Many people use ati cards. | 01:14 |
| chupy | can i do this after install ubuntu? "when you boot push f6 and then put this: noapic noloapic" and where do i put and where? | 01:14 |
| scream | ok | 01:14 |
| Jan` | I mean usually linux on a laptop is a no go area. | 01:14 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: 8" or 10" screen? | 01:14 |
| LjL | Jan`: which is really just an unofficial derivative not supported by us at all | 01:15 |
| g4lt-lappy | chupy, yes, that's at the grub menu | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | Dulak: 8 - they dident have 10's at xmas time | 01:15 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, funny you should mention that ;P | 01:15 |
| Jan` | LjL: Well whatever, it's the least-flaky version of linux I ever saw. | 01:15 |
| LjL | !info pmake | variable, perhaps this | 01:15 |
| ubottu | pmake (source: pmake): NetBSD make. In component main, is optional. Version 1.111-1build1 (intrepid), package size 239 kB, installed size 452 kB | 01:15 |
| Jan` | I'm kinda focussed on it working, not whatever strange political issues exist. | 01:15 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: I got the d150 with 160g hdd and 10" screen, windows 7 runs on it very well for me | 01:15 |
| LjL | Jan`: yeah, but we don't support it here | 01:15 |
| Dulak | Jan`: move to macos | 01:15 |
| variable | LjL, thanks | 01:15 |
| LjL | jan`: have you tried #eeepc? | 01:15 |
| chupy | <g4lt-lappy> thanks :) | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | Dulak: yep. i mauy get a newer one at xmas time.. will see what happens money wise | 01:16 |
| Jan` | LjL: I've tried a few other places, but this is consistently most useful. | 01:16 |
| g4lt-lappy | I'm just wondering what kind of uber-skillz i must have getting my laptop working ;P | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | Dulak: does the 10 in version use the same battery/charger as the 8" version? | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: :) your here again, I was thinking, because of this Jan guy, about 5 minutes ago, it would be cool if an op turned up soon | 01:16 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: You probably bought one you knew had coders actively working on support, right? | 01:16 |
| CentHOGG | Hello, how do you make other vfat partitions automount to the gnome desktop? I've tried mounting them inside the /media folder but that didn't work. thanks in advance. | 01:17 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, nope, luck of the ebay draw and a refund check | 01:17 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: I don't know, I think it's a different sized battery, I know it's 6 cell instead of 4 cell like the 8" ones, I get almost 6 hours out of it normal usage with surfing, listening to music, irc, etc | 01:17 |
| Jan` | I have had a couple people come up to me with J. Random Laptop and say, can I run linux on this? NoOOOooOoooo! :) | 01:17 |
| LjL | let's get back on topic please. | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | Dulak: that almost makes it worth uprading :) | 01:17 |
| g4lt-lappy | still none too happy about the sdcard reader, but I can work around that | 01:17 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: I really love it | 01:17 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: We got the SD card reader to sorta-kinda work! I was really happy about that. | 01:17 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, well, obviously, my experience differs a bit | 01:17 |

| dr_willis | Dulak: yea. but most newer tv's have vga in now a days also | 01:20 |
| Jan` | ubottu: huh? | 01:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about huh? | 01:20 |
| g4lt-lappy | Jan`, I'veput it on three,and no isssues other than they all broke rather badly | 01:20 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: well this d150 has vga out and my flat screen tv has vga in, I think I'm gonna have to try it out | 01:20 |
| Jan` | Broke in what way | 01:20 |
| g4lt-lappy | one had a bettery die unrecoverably, one melted the heatsink, and this one | 01:20 |
| Jan` | oh, I see. | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | Dulak: on myne theres a bios bug that makes the vga out 'jittery' for some res's :) i going to have to upgrade the bios some day | 01:21 |
| Jan` | This one was one of the big screen pentium 4 toshibas. | 01:21 |
| g4lt-lappy | and the heatsink was expected, a 1955 never did take the heat well | 01:21 |
| g4lt-lappy | ahh, the 1955. piece of cake | 01:21 |
| kitche | LjL: can you do something now? | 01:21 |
| Jan` | I think we eventually got touchpad, sound and network working, which was enough to make it kinda usable. | 01:21 |
| g4lt-lappy | out of the box for me | 01:22 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: I think I saw something about a bios update that addressed that problem but it didn't apply to my model so I just scanned it | 01:22 |
| funkyHat | !offtopic | Jan` g4lt-lappy | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Jan` g4lt-lappy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:22 |
| Jan` | never did get wifi going and it was effectively stuck in a sub-optimal screen resolution. | 01:22 |
| Jan` | ubottu: I don't understand what you mean. | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:22 |
| g4lt-lappy | only issue was my wifi card was a cheapo, when I got an atheros, worked fine | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | Dulak: yea whtas funny is i saw the issue.. thoight the thing was 'bad' so i took it back to the store.. got a Pink one.. then came home.. same issue.. check the forums again.. and learned about the bios issue. Cost them a returned machine | 01:23 |
| jrib | Jan`: to put it bluntly, this channel is for either answering an ubuntu support question or asking one. Other discussions should happen elsewhere | 01:23 |
| kitche | Jan`: it's telling you to get on topic or go tot eh offtopic room not hard to read really unless of course English is not your native language | 01:23 |
| Jan` | jrib: Are we not discussing ubuntu support? | 01:23 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: haha, I am thinking about buying a pink one for my niece, she's getting to the age where a laptop would probably really help her in school | 01:23 |
| g4lt-lappy | funkyHat, really, albeit feisty, but ubuntu on a tosh 1955 offtopic? | 01:23 |
| jrib | Jan`: what question are you answering? | 01:24 |
| funkyHat | g4lt-lappy: sorry to be grumpy, but you're not really discussing a current support issue, are you? | 01:24 |
| Jan` | g4lt-lappy: I think the concern may be more political, in that we are daring to describe situations whereby linux did not perform well :) | 01:24 |
| funkyHat | Jan`: the issue is that you're doing it in the wrong channel, as you've been told several times | 01:24 |
| ak-49 | Hi I was wondering if anyone might have any idea why my second monitor hooked up to my laptops VGA tends to go blank whenever I load various applications. (example Totem Movie Player) just the external display goes black for a second or two and then returns to a normal display. | 01:24 |
| g4lt-lappy | ak-49, prolly resizing for some reason. totem typically likes to resize the display if it can | 01:25 |
| g4lt-lappy | especially for external VGA | 01:26 |
| Jan` | Suggest avoiding totem. | 01:26 |
| Jan` | Just use mplayer and learn the keyboard shortcuts. | 01:26 |
| ak-49 | g4lt-lappy: thats strange. | 01:26 |
| Jan` | Painful, but it works. | 01:26 |
| ak-49 | I usually use vlc for everything | 01:26 |
| Jan` | Oh, VLC, yeah :) | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | Banshee :) | 01:26 |
| funkyHat | ak-49: sounds like it could be to do with your graphics card drivers, not sure though | 01:26 |
| kantlivelong1 | i enabled SHMconfig in xorg for my synaptics touchpad and i cant seem to get scrolling to work.. anyone have exp w/ this? | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | VLC is nice to | 01:26 |
| ak-49 | its not just totem though | 01:26 |
| Jan` | VLC is a bit suckworthy in terms of subtitle support, but I don't use subtitles. | 01:26 |
| gerzel | I tend to switch between rythmbox and banshee | 01:26 |
| LurkersA | mplayer here | 01:26 |
| jrib | kantlivelong1: what version of ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| ak-49 | The graphics card is an Intel 915G I think | 01:26 |
| Dulak | SMplayer is a nice front-end for mplayer that gives you buttons to click AND keyboard shortcuts | 01:26 |
| kantlivelong1 | 8.10 | 01:26 |
| jrib | !synaptics | kantlivelong1 | 01:27 |
| ubottu | kantlivelong1: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 01:27 |
| gerzel | They are semi-eqivalent in function, depends on the version | 01:27 |
| g4lt-lappy | well totem is typically the worst case, if you can get it to work in totem, it should work in anything ;P | 01:27 |
| Jan` | Dulak: smplayer gave us a lot of trouble | 01:27 |
| LurkersA | Jan`: GNOMEMplayer? | 01:27 |
| LurkersA | I use MPD for music, Mplayer for Video | 01:27 |
| Jan` | we tried both totem and smplayer (and, ur, gmplayer, if that sounds right) and none of them would play things like DVDs. | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: of course they won't just play commerial DVD's you need the freaking codec installed first. libdvdcss | 01:28 |
| LurkersA | Jan`: Have you installed libdvdcss2? If you haven't, it can't play DVDs | 01:28 |
| kantlivelong1 | jrib: ive done all that.. the trackpad works but vert scroll refuses | 01:28 |
| kitche | libdvdcss3 should be used mainly now | 01:28 |
| narsil_me | 01:28 | |
| Jan` | LurkersA: I think we just got mplayer, you just type something like mplayer dvd:// followed by some stuff. | 01:28 |
| Jan` | I think I made a shellscript | 01:28 |
| ak-49 | I just tried crossover chromium that caused a problem too, but lets not get into that. | 01:28 |
| LurkersA | Jan`: You can get it from Medibuntu | 01:28 |
| jrib | kantlivelong1: you said you enabled shmconfig in xorg.conf, this is not the right way to do that in 8.10 | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | ak-49: there are native versiosn of Chromium now, they are alpha | 01:29 |
| Jan` | LurkersA: We are using a version specifically changed for the eeepc, I didn't want to go playing about with it too much. | 01:29 |
| narsil_me | 01:29 | |
| ak-49 | sweet | 01:29 |
| LurkersA | Jan`: If you haven't installed libdvdcss2 or 3 it won't be able to play DVDs | 01:29 |
| Jan` | Well it can now. | 01:29 |
| Jan` | I dunno what we did. | 01:29 |
| gerzel | What chan do I goto for Windows stuff? #Windows? Or is it ##Windows? | 01:29 |
| Jan` | It was complicated and involved hacking text files, they really oughta fix that. | 01:29 |
| kitche | gerzel: ##windows | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | gerzel: yes there, but why you want to go there? | 01:29 |
| stdin | gerzel: both | 01:29 |
| g4lt-lappy | gerzel, ##. I think # redirects | 01:29 |

| ak-49 | WHere can I change the default applications so that totem doesn't launch any more? | 01:30 |
| Jan` | ak-49: If you find out, please tell me. | 01:30 |
| jrib | !defaultapp | ak-49 | 01:31 |
| ubottu | ak-49: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. | 01:31 |
| pyro2927 | has anyone here installed synapse? | 01:31 |
| Jan` | jrib: that doesn't always work. | 01:31 |
| ak-49 | Jan': Find out what exactly? | 01:31 |
| jrib | ak-49: or edit -> preferences -> media depending on what exactly you are asking | 01:31 |
| jrib | ak-49: "doesn't always work" is vague. | 01:31 |
| Jan` | ak-49: how to make totem not fix. | 01:31 |
| Jan` | er, not work, ever again. | 01:31 |
| Jan` | Ideally completely remove, uninstall, delete, evict and defenestrate. | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: by uninstalilng it? | 01:31 |
| ak-49 | ah okay, i'm going to remove it I suppose | 01:31 |
| ak-49 | if I can. | 01:31 |
| jrib | ak-49: that's pretty silly | 01:31 |
| Jan` | But I'm not actually sure how you'd uninstall something like totem, since it came with the OS. | 01:32 |
| CentHOGG | Hello, how do you make other vfat partitions automount to the gnome desktop? I've tried mounting them inside the /media folder but that didn't work. thanks in advance. | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: like any other app | 01:32 |
| Jan` | well "any other app" would be in synaptic, but we tried that, and it didn't work. | 01:32 |
| g4lt-lappy | CentHOGG, add tehm to /etc/fstab | 01:32 |
| bxcrx | Hey Everyone I just tried Jaunty today, and was really suprised that the Apple Trailer website worked flawlessly with a Totem Movie Player plugin bone stock | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | !jaunty | bxcrx | 01:32 |
| ubottu | bxcrx: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 01:32 |

| epaphus | hey guys.. iam trying to install flash on firtefox.. i did sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree , and restarted firefox.. but it still doesnt work... any suggestions? | 01:33 |
| Jan` | ak-49: This is on ubuntu. | 01:33 |
| CentHOGG | g4lt-lappy: hi, yeah I did and mount -a... but they didn't show up on the desktop | 01:33 |
| jrib | epaphus: visit "about:plugins" in your browser and paste the contents at paste.ubuntu.com | 01:33 |
| LurkersA | CentHOGG: They won't if you mounted them using fstab | 01:33 |
| LurkersA | look where you told it to mount | 01:34 |
| flugh | epaphus: shoudl do it, odd. i learned yesterday though to steer clear of the swfdec packages, consistent recreatable freezes on flash video. just an fyi | 01:34 |
| ak-49 | Jan': I'm remvoing totem using synaptic as we speak. I'll let you know how it goes. | 01:34 |
| CentHOGG | LurkersA: so how would you get them to automount to the gnome desktop? | 01:34 |
| Jan` | I can't exactly remember how it was for us | 01:34 |
| Jan` | but we couldn't get rid of it. | 01:34 |
| g4lt-lappy | centaur5, they should bevisible to any file manager such as nautilus | 01:34 |
| Jan` | I assumed that whoever writes totem had persuaded ubuntu that totem is The One YOu Should Use :) | 01:34 |
| g4lt-lappy | CentHOGG, ^^^^ | 01:35 |
| LurkersA | CentHOGG: Get it to automount to a folder on the desktop? | 01:35 |
| CentHOGG | yeah | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: Totem tends to be ok | 01:35 |
| bxcrx | Anyone here a Windows Admin? | 01:35 |
| jrib | Jan`: you're free to choose a different default player with the methods I said... | 01:35 |
| jrib | !ot | bxcrx | 01:35 |
| ubottu | bxcrx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:35 |
| CentHOGG | like when you mount a USB flashdrive | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: more like they told Gnome to use Totem, I expect | 01:35 |
| Heimark | so, am I reading correctly that IRC doesn't work too well through Pidgin? | 01:35 |
| Jan` | Well it's kinda funny really when you think about it | 01:35 |
| g4lt-lappy | Heimark, I don't recommend it. I use xchat | 01:35 |
| jrib | Heimark: I would try xchat instead, yeah | 01:35 |
| Flannel | Heimark: pidgin does IRC 'fine', it's just not a pleasant experience. | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | Heimark: a lot of people use it in Pidgin, but I would recommend geting a proper IRC client such as Konversation | 01:35 |
| LurkersA | CentHOGG: Tell it to mount to /home/yourusername/Desktop/mountname | 01:35 |

| Heimark | haha, yeah. I went and installed Xchat on this (desktop) but I try to keep my netbook stripped down | 01:36 |
| wolter | sebsebseb, you use that kde irc thing? | 01:36 |
| jrib | epaphus: pastebin « apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree » | 01:36 |
| LurkersA | Heimark: irssi then ^.^ | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | wolter: yes rather nice client indeed | 01:37 |
| JEEBcz | too bad irssi sucks with certain encodings | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | wolter: and in Gnome of course :) | 01:37 |
| g4lt-lappy | Heimark, well, it DOES work, after a fashion. you're going to have to be the one deciding if after said fashion is good enough to justify the space savved | 01:37 |
| JEEBcz | and the irssi devs just say that "they want to be neutral on encodings" and point you to intjoin.pl from 2002 >_> | 01:37 |
| LurkersA | JEEBcz: But in terms of lightweight it is pretty good | 01:37 |
| JEEBcz | LurkersA, true | 01:37 |
| Heimark | I'll see. I've only been using Ubuntu for about a month. I didn't install any other OS's on my comps so I would learn how to use it | 01:37 |
| ak-49 | Jan': it seems totem is gone but perhaps not completely. libtotem-plparser12 lives on. however thats just the playlist parser that is requried by a few of my other apps. | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | wolter: if I wanted to be more hardcore I would use irssi, but I don't really see a need | 01:37 |

| Jan` | ak-49: I'll look at it again, but I'm a bit scared of breaking the whole OS. | 01:38 |
| JEEBcz | but for someone who needs multiple encodes (f.ex. utf8 *and* iso-2022-jp and something else) you're pretty much in deep waters with irssi >_> | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: lol | 01:38 |
| Jan` | sebsebseb - don't laugh unless you're volunteering to come over and spend the two days to fix it up again. | 01:38 |
| JEEBcz | also, intjoin.pl doesn't always work right, making you use msg18n to just talk on a channel >_> | 01:38 |
| ak-49 | well I'll try to find somthing that does not work any more but so far so good. | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: you say bad things about Linux, and then your scared about braking the OS, like a newbie would be :) by the way people Linux distros work well most of the time :) they don't just break like Windows can by say a virus | 01:39 |
| Jan` | I dunno, I've never even seen a virus. | 01:39 |
| Jan` | the main reason I think it kept going back to totem was not totem's fault | 01:39 |
| ak-49 | I think all oS's have their own suckyness. | 01:39 |
| Jan` | I think it was somehow forgetting that we told it to use mplayer. | 01:39 |
| egaudet | anyone use vuze 4.2? | 01:39 |
| epaphus | jrib, http://pastebin.com/m23e6622f | 01:39 |

| Jan` | ak-49: Good idea. | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | Jan`: I could get you set up really nicely with Ubuntu, as in Ubuntu usage, cover the basics and yeah, but sorry I don't feel like doing it with you | 01:40 |
| con-man | are we still on the harey hardon release or whatever? | 01:40 |
| Jan` | We are "set up" in ubuntu | 01:40 |
| Jan` | It's just got holes in. | 01:40 |
| Heimark | the only problem I had with "breaking" linux was when I started messing with display settings, but that was about two days into the whole experiance | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | con-man: sure since it's the long term suppourt, for 8.10 is the current latest, but not for much longer | 01:40 |
| ak-49 | Alright peeps, i've gotta go to work, thanks for the input. | 01:40 |

| hey` | jrib, I got big play symbols instead of the flash effects on any website I visit, and whey I play them, sometimes freeze up my machine.... same problem in youtube vids, they appear as that kind of symbols, and I have to wrap the time bar to "play" them... | 01:51 |
| mohsen | I think something completely broken in ubuntu 8.10 for AMD64 as i get segfaults | 01:51 |
| g4lt-lappy | trinidadflores, unless things have changed recently ext2 support in windows is...lacking | 01:51 |
| o0Chris0o | !flash64 hey` | 01:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about flash64 hey` | 01:51 |
| egaudet | Sooo anyone use vuze 4.2!? | 01:51 |
| o0Chris0o | !flash64 | hey` | 01:51 |
| ubottu | hey`: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 01:51 |
| jrib | hey`: on the bottom right you seem some square thing you can click on in firefox? | 01:51 |
| trinidadflores | so what would be the best way to do that | 01:52 |
| jrib | hey`: while visiting a flash page that is | 01:52 |
| epaphus | jrib, how about if I just reinstall firefox and reinstall? | 01:52 |
| jrib | epaphus: that will do nothing | 01:52 |
| jrib | epaphus: it looks like a lego | 01:52 |
| egaudet | damnit how can vuze 4.2 tell me there is a devices sidebar when there is NOT! | 01:52 |

| hey` | no jrib, I don't have such button.... | 01:53 |
| g4lt-lappy | trinidadflores, the short answer is that there ARE third-party ext2 readers, but I ain't willing to trust any of them. however, the good news is you can usually make the mounts ro if you even have an option for rw | 01:53 |
| hey` | lemmie look for a site as an example... tho it's for any site that has flash effects. | 01:53 |
| epaphus | jrib, a lego? | 01:53 |
| jrib | epaphus: erm, forget my lego comment. I missed your last statement. remove swfdec. Do you know how to do that? | 01:53 |

| hey` | there's an animation on it, also when you pick up any country, then it should load different squares... but they don't because they're flash. | 01:54 |

| DasEi | intangir: see above | 02:11 |
| jrib | sparky_: why? | 02:11 |
| sparky_ | jrib: to install extensions for all users of course | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | 02:11 | |
| DasEi | intangir : it's a file you can edit, to warch drives can use gparted instead of fdisk -l | 02:12 |
| jrib | sparky_: /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/ would be my guess | 02:12 |
| intangir | i had to manually setup my fstab to mount 2 extra drives before, i copied the same lines that worked in 8.04 | 02:12 |
| intangir | they dont work anymore | 02:12 |
| intangir | it gives me errors about already being mounted or some crap.. but its not | 02:12 |

| intangir | no im not using uuids | 02:13 |
| sparky_ | jrib: i tried that, but when i created a new user, there were no extensions there | 02:13 |
| jrib | hey`: no, put libflashplayer.so for 64bit in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 02:13 |
| DasEi | intangir: did you check sudo fdisk -l to see if the identifiers are still right ? | 02:13 |
| jrib | sparky_: well you might look into how ubufox does it as that's a system wide extension installed by default | 02:14 |

| g4lt-mordant | intangir, yeah, the linux kernel doesn't guarantee order of detection | 02:15 |
| intangir | it says its one thing buts its another... | 02:15 |
| hey` | jrib: done libflashplayer.so is on /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 02:15 |
| jrib | hey`: but that's not what I said... | 02:16 |
| g4lt-mordant | intangir, that's why they use UUIDs for rood drives, because you can't guarantee that sda will always be sda | 02:16 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:17 |
| intangir | in your opinion.. | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | intangir: Banshee is a nice video and audio player | 02:18 |
| g4lt-mordant | uhm, it is? xmms2 is still there | 02:18 |
| intangir | xmms2 is something totally different apparently | 02:18 |
| kitche | intangir: well ubuntu uses audiaius which is xmms jsut with gtk2 | 02:18 |
| intangir | audiacious seems to be for audio only, and the mplayer plugin isnt in repos anymore either | 02:18 |
| * JEEBcz would just prefer mplayer (with smplayer if GUI is needed) and something else like listen or amarok for audio >_> | 02:18 | |

| wrektjet | hey i was wondering if someone could help me as i set up win xp in virtualbox.... it looks like windows is going to attempt to install on a partition but id like to doublecheck the status of my partitions first. is there an easy way to do that in ubuntu. becasue i know i createda primary partion and a blank partitionsa dna swap space so id like to see wheer windows intnends to format the drive | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: Windows installs onto a virtual partition | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: with virtualbox you make a virtual hard disk, where you install the virtual OS | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: your actsaul hard disk is never touched | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: except for storing the vm file of course, which is also why you go for dynamically expanding vm | 02:20 |
| wrektjet | oh ok i got confused. i had made the virtual hard disk a fwew steps earlier | 02:20 |
| wrektjet | i shoulda realized. thanls sebsebseb | 02:20 |
| A-KO | Has anyone here successfully dual booted with Windows and Linux with Truecrypt? I've read a few things on doing it but I assume there is hopefully a cleaner way than maintaining 2 separate encryption schemes... | 02:21 |
| digitalvaldosta | Just a quick question. Does anyone know of a way around the ATT issue with the setup of DSL? I saw that someone used a virtual machine. I am trying to setup a friends computer that I setup with Ubuntu. | 02:22 |
| wrektjet | sebsebseb, i did the virtually expanding choice. i read the manual and it seemed like the better option | 02:22 |
| pepperjack | digitalvaldosta: theres an issue? you shouldnt need any software to setup dsl | 02:22 |
| jrib | hey`: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ means /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.mozilla/plugins | 02:22 |
| hey` | jrib there ain't a "plugins" folder in ~/.mozilla/ should I creat it? | 02:22 |
| pepperjack | digitalvaldosta: just login to the modem/router they provide | 02:22 |
| jrib | hey`: yes | 02:22 |
| DasEi | A-KO: nope isn't , | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: yep it is, and you could put like 2TB for the virtual expanding even though you don't have that space on your real hard disk | 02:22 |
| hey` | aight | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: it's the space the vm thinks you have | 02:22 |
| wrektjet | oh i put 20 gig | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: why XP in a vm by the way? | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: yeah I would normally put like 20 to 60GB for virtual space | 02:22 |
| digitalvaldosta | pepperjack: att forces you to either use the cd provided or use a site that blocks anyone that does not have MS | 02:22 |
| wrektjet | i want to run things on windows... | 02:22 |
| wrektjet | having truouble with wine | 02:22 |
| DasEi | A-KO:mind a pm ? | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: such as? and the virtual machine file will go in the hidden .virtualbox folder in home. and did you get the binary from their site so you get usb suppourt? | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: I think we might have talked a bit about this last night. remember to browse the Internet only in Ubuntu :) and with Firefox ideally. then maybe/hopefully your contributing a bit to Firefox market share as well as LInux market share | 02:23 |
| wrektjet | im running some unsopported programs like tradestation anfd lightspeed. | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: yep the VM should be fine, except for 3D programs | 02:24 |
| pepperjack | digitalvaldosta: i just dont know how that would work. it doesnt make sense | 02:24 |
| wrektjet | yea i thnk it was last nite. i havent been feeling so weel so ic ant recall. maybe it was earlier today | 02:24 |
| pepperjack | digitalvaldosta: not saying youre incorrect | 02:24 |

| sebsebseb | digitalvaldosta: welcome to the real world, they don't care about Linux | 02:26 |
| Roegge | diditalvaldosta : you could use a console browser to set it up just point it to 192.168.1.254 if its a 2wire | 02:26 |

| jrib | hey`: looks good to me | 02:26 |
| hey` | :) | 02:26 |
| pepperjack | digitalvaldosta: that is bull. you dont need to do anything on any web page. just do an ifconfig to find out your gateway and then type that ip into the browser and login to the router. they should be able to walk you through setting up the router with your password etc. insist on someone in their L2 group | 02:26 |
| Roegge | diditalvaldosta : or just firefox | 02:26 |
| digitalvaldosta | to get the password and id you have to go to that web page | 02:27 |
| hey` | jrib: thanks a lot for you attention and help it work GREAT NOW!!! :D | 02:27 |
| digitalvaldosta | I have att and had to use windows in a vm and create an id and password | 02:27 |
| Roegge | diditalvaldosta : are you setting up the modem or the ubuntu box? | 02:28 |
| bruce89 | digitalvaldosta: you could have faked the useragent | 02:28 |
| sebsebseb | digitalvaldosta: remember to do all web browsing in Ubuntu :) and with Firefox ideally as well, so that you contribute hopefully a bit to FIrefox market share as well as Linux market share | 02:28 |

| akincer1 | in other words, using C++ or Python, I can specify packet header info and such | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | jrib: ok thanks | 02:31 |
| undecim | akincer1: I don't think netcat has that capability... its meant to work with a stream of packets, not single packets itself | 02:31 |
| akincer1 | more specifically, I'm trying to query a game server using netcat | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: it's better to complain to the website for not suppourting that browser, than to change the ua for access | 02:32 |
| undecim | akincer1: what information do you need to specify? | 02:32 |
| akincer1 | commands such as getstatus or getinfo | 02:32 |
| akincer1 | maybe even do an rcon command | 02:32 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: true | 02:32 |
| pepperjack | andypatches: try chmod -R +r folder maybe | 02:33 |
| c9s | hola | 02:33 |
| walrus | Hole | 02:33 |
| undecim | akincer1: I don't think those are udp headers... | 02:33 |
| undecim | akincer1: then again, i don't know that much about udp | 02:34 |
| akincer1 | no, this is how the UDP packet is structured using XQF -- \xff\xff\xff\xff\x02getstatus\n | 02:34 |
| sapage | exit | 02:34 |
| undecim | akincer1: so \xff\xff\xff\xff\x02getstatus\n is the contents of the packet? | 02:35 |
| akincer1 | yep | 02:35 |
| akincer1 | I'm just wondering how I replicate that using netcat | 02:35 |
| undecim | put that in a file, then cat it to netcat ( cat filename | netcat ipaddr port) | 02:36 |
| akincer1 | doesn't seem to work | 02:37 |
| Roegge | anyone know why all i get after gdm is my mouse and a beige background | 02:37 |
| undecim | akincer1: the command 'echo -e "\xff\xff\xff\xff\x02getstatus" > filename' should give you the filename you need | 02:37 |
| undecim | akincer1: i mean "the file you need" not "filename you need" | 02:38 |
| akincer1 | eureka! | 02:39 |
| akincer1 | that did it | 02:39 |
| akincer1 | dundecim: you rule | 02:39 |
| akincer1 | thanks for the help everyone | 02:39 |
| undecim | akincer1: the "\xff" in that actually mean a character that you can't type on the keyboard | 02:39 |
| undecim | akincer1: no problem | 02:39 |
| akincer1 | I thought as much | 02:39 |
| pepperjack | Roegge: gnome-session and gnome-panel running? | 02:39 |
| undecim | akincer1: also, the \n isn't needed at the end, because echo does that autmatically | 02:40 |
| Roegge | pepper jack: gnome-panel isn't i'll check if gnome-session is | 02:40 |
| Roegge | pepper jack: nope just gnome-keyring | 02:41 |
| jlevy | I have a usb tv tuner that used to be /dev/video1. Now that device isn't there. Anyone have any thoughts on how to get it back? I tested the device and it works on a windows machine. | 02:42 |
| akincer1 | undecim: makes sense | 02:42 |
| Roegge | pepper jack: after about 5 mins the background turns black | 02:42 |
| pepperjack | Roegge: do a `w` command in a virt terminal youll see on the from column prob 0:0 so do an export DISPLAY=0:0 then a gnome-session& then a gnome-panel& i have no idea why they are not running though | 02:43 |
| akincer1 | now to figure out how to do an rcon command over netcat . . . :) | 02:43 |
| bruce89 | jlevy: /dev/video0 | 02:43 |
| jlevy | bruce89: /dev/video0 is a PCI card | 02:43 |

| jlevy | DasEi: can you give me a line number in dmesg that says usb? | 03:21 |
| chuy_max | DasEi, |ns|nR8, I guess I should use "default saved", am I right?, I tried default 5, but everytime the kernel is updated it just screws the file. | 03:23 |

| skyl | Cpudan80, still permission denied | 03:29 |
| Cpudan80 | odd ... | 03:30 |

| PhotoJim | or is it permission denied because the directory is read-only, e.g.? might not be a sudo problem. | 03:30 |
| codeman_ | would it be bad to update bios with .exe on xubuntu | 03:30 |
| Bruce | how do i restart network? | 03:31 |
| bruenig | skyl: the reason it fails is because > redirects the output to a file. Redirection is done by the bash shell, not by iptables-save. iptables-save is the only thing running as root | 03:31 |
| jlevy | DasEi: It looks like bttv0 and pvrusb2 are different devices, no? bttv0 is described as PCI above, and that is the one listed as /dev/video0 | 03:31 |
| DasEi | codeman: yes | 03:31 |
| Cpudan80 | codeman_: usually you cant run those ... | 03:31 |
| bruenig | skyl: bash does not have root privileges iptables-save has root privileges | 03:31 |
| lstarnes | Bruce: possibly sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart | 03:31 |
| aranyik | I have an old computer on which I have installed DOS, now I would like to install Xubuntu but the only way I could is by taking the HDD and plug it with a IDE-USB adapter to my laptop...I've tried to install directly on it with my laptop but then back in the old PC, it seems that the MBR cant be written by the way I proceed, so I guess I have to manual install Xubuntu into this HDD. But then, will the MBR written by my previous DOS install will be able to | 03:31 |
| aranyik | point to a series of boot files and finally linux intalled files? | 03:31 |
| Dreamglider | codeman_: it would probably be impossible | 03:31 |
| jlevy | DasEi: no, I haven't messed with mythtv config because it had been working for months. I didn't change anything, and it all of the sudden stopped working. | 03:31 |
| === Star is now known as Guest17181 | ||
| DasEi | jlevy: so try to change mythtv's config , else try : sudo apt-get install tvtime | 03:31 |
| bruenig | skyl: so you can either do what skyl told you to do, OR you can do sudo bash -c 'iptables-save > ...' OR have a full root shell and so on. | 03:32 |
| Cpudan80 | aranyik: you cant just boot off of the install CD ? | 03:32 |
| codeman_ | how would i update bios | 03:32 |
| DasEi | jlevy: sure you didn't plugged that or another usb ? | 03:32 |
| Dreamglider | codeman_: it's usually done from a floppy/CD at boot up or in windows | 03:32 |
| skyl | bruenig, thanks yeah, running as su does it | 03:32 |
| Cpudan80 | codeman_: floppies, windows *** NOT A VM *** | 03:32 |
| Cpudan80 | not that updating the bios in a VM would do much of anything | 03:33 |
| jlevy | DasEi: it's possible the machine booted once with the power unplugged from the usb device. would that do it? | 03:33 |
| DasEi | codeman : get a bootable dosk.disk, the flash utility and your new bios, p.m me,it's not ubu-specific | 03:33 |
| Droopsta915 | I need to add myself to the vboxusers group, what is the command? | 03:33 |
| rage | bruenig: Thanks for your help early, I discovered the answer. If you're interested its located on the cd images/casper/filesystem.squashfs. Simply decompress that file, and its inside image/isolinux/splash.rle and it is drawn by the isolinux.txt file | 03:33 |
| DasEi | jlevy: anything that brings the device-order out of order | 03:33 |
| aranyik | Cpudan80,with my laptop yes but then, like I said, the installer seems to make no change to the MBR when I release the HDD from the IDE-USB adapter (I dont have CD on the old machine) | 03:34 |
| tritium | Droopsta915: adduser [options] user group | 03:34 |
| PhotoJim | DasEi: usermod -G vboxusers username | 03:34 |
| PhotoJim | Droopsta915: usermod -G vboxusers username | 03:34 |
| tritium | Droopsta915: and you won't really need any options, so just adduser user group | 03:34 |

| eternaljoy | USb | 03:37 |
| aranyik | Cpudan80, yes thats what I already did, but it didnt work the first time so I guess the adapter messed up the process of writting the MBR somehow, or maybe ...wait I remember having MBR problem at this time...maybe now that its fixed I could try again.. | 03:37 |
| lrojas | how do i make sure PHP is working and Pear gets installed? | 03:37 |
| sei | ?? | 03:37 |

| DasEi | Hamled: desktop=GUI, alternate=text ,same for serveredition | 03:38 |
| soreau | o0Chris0o: compiz most likely | 03:38 |
| Hamled | okay, thank you | 03:38 |
| eternaljoy | Im creating a boot USB stick, and Ubuntu asks me if I want to use 128MB for documents etc... what happens if I reduce this to 50MB? What happens to the 78MB? | 03:38 |
| Cpudan80 | aranyik: you need to tell the installer where to write the MBR to, I believe thats an option in there somewhere (an advanced option) | 03:38 |
| codeman__ | hey im back who was said om me | 03:38 |
| tritium | eternaljoy: nothing. It goes unused. | 03:39 |
| codeman__ | pm me | 03:39 |

| quentusrex | thanks Dreamglider that fixed it. I can't believe I didn't think of that. | 03:39 |
| Cpudan80 | aranyik: if that doesn't work - mount it using a VM | 03:39 |
| eternaljoy | tritium: when it tried to load last time | 03:40 |
| jlevy | DasEi: Looks like this started for some users upon kernel upgrade. maybe i did that and don't remember...lol | 03:40 |
| psychic | anyone know a good channel to get a movie from? | 03:40 |
| tritium | eternaljoy: that option for the bootable USB stick is to allow you to have a persistent home directory on the stick. | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: change it in the settings so it detects your CD drive in the guest, and this is virtualbox suppour #vbox | 03:40 |
| Cpudan80 | aranyik: ex. install virtual box on the laptop - point the VM to the USB thing as the HDD | 03:40 |
| Dreamglider | quentusrex: np dude | 03:40 |
| tritium | eternaljoy: "it" being the USB stick? | 03:40 |

| Mobius_thought | what's the key to keeping an init.d script from halting the startup process (i.e. not getting to other startup scripts until the earlier program is shut down?) | 03:51 |
| nds | its a one story | 03:51 |
| nds | no attic | 03:51 |
| PhotoJim | I run mine through the basement. | 03:51 |
| nds | no basement | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | ok crawl space | 03:51 |
| PhotoJim | usually you can run it up alongside heating registers. | 03:51 |
| nds | yeah, thats two feet tall | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | you mean you're on a slab of concrete with no attic and no crawl space ? | 03:51 |
| nds | and its winter out | 03:51 |
| nds | cpudan: pretty much | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | oh you do have a crawl space | 03:51 |
| DasEi | jlevy: hwinfo is also more detailled then lspci/lsusb | 03:51 |
| Cpudan80 | a 2ft gap is plenty big - crawl in there and run the wire | 03:51 |
| nds | yes, its just boxed in by siding | 03:52 |
| nds | i would have to rip off the siding | 03:52 |
| Cpudan80 | nonsense | 03:52 |
| nds | yes | 03:52 |
| Cpudan80 | I believe they are required to have an opening | 03:52 |
| jlevy | DasEi: I'll keep that in mind. thanks again | 03:52 |
| nds | it makes sense for my dad >.< | 03:52 |
| nds | not when you put up the siding yourself | 03:52 |
| nds | >.< | 03:52 |
| Cpudan80 | How do you not have an attic? | 03:52 |
| nds | its a mobile home | 03:53 |

| Dreamglider | what ? | 03:55 |
| Cpudan80 | L3dPlatedLinux: Thats really a personal choice based on what you want - if you like ubuntu on "this pc" - why not use it on the old pc? | 03:55 |

| Mobius_thought | linux mint is pretty great, but it's a live CD, why bother installing it? | 03:56 |
| Cpudan80 | I think thats an ubuntu fork L3dPlatedLinux | 03:56 |

| Montreaux | thanks i need to update Evolution to th e2.26 version but dont know how to do it | 03:57 |
| Cpudan80 | or scp, whichever you prefer - I like SFTP | 03:57 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | I do have xubuntu8.10 guess I could go with that | 03:57 |
| X-Seti | darn, upgrading to jaunty, i have sound issues, no sound at all, menu bar sound app doesnt work either ? | 03:58 |
| Montreaux | i downloaded a bunch of files but have no idea how to put the together | 03:58 |
| Cpudan80 | gbear14275: Filezilla has a windows client that does SFTP | 03:58 |
| wanna_learn_more | i got crc error then system halted on my ubuntu kernel 2.6.27-11 server | 03:58 |
| eseven73 | yes sftp is the only way to fly :) .........securely | 03:58 |

| steve50 | hello room | 03:59 |
| Mobius_thought | what's the key to keeping an init.d script for APP X from halting the startup process (i.e. not getting to other startup scripts until APP X is shut down?) | 04:00 |
| wanna_learn_more | now i am trying memtes | 04:00 |
| |PsyTox| | Aanerxoic Aanteater? | 04:00 |
| wanna_learn_more | memtest | 04:00 |
| Cpudan80 | it goes back to A Jonanin | 04:00 |
| PhotoJim | Jonanin: I am guessing they'll wrap around. they've already had two H names after all. | 04:00 |
| Jonanin | I hope PsyTox is right :D | 04:00 |

| millertime_018_ | hey i can't join the python channel! | 04:01 |
| Montreaux | Need some help with evolution | 04:01 |
| neal_s | It also hangs on hibernate or suspend. | 04:01 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: tocheckthat,boot a live cd,DON'T mount the hd, in terminal run :sudo e2fsck -p /dev/yourHardrive (sudo fdisk -l shows your partis) | 04:01 |
| Turtle_ | is a masters in IT good for Unix basd jobs? | 04:01 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | well in fear of sounding like a fool I will ignore that fear and ask any way what do you mean when you say ubuntu fork? | 04:01 |
| Cpudan80 | millertime_018_: identify yourself (/msg nickserv help identify) | 04:01 |
| Cpudan80 | L3dPlatedLinux: something that is based off of ubuntu (ubuntu is based off of debian) | 04:01 |
| PhotoJim | L3dPlatedLinux: Forks are projects that diverge from other projects and become separate. Ubuntu is a fork of Debian. Debian and Ubuntu are separate, but once, Ubuntu used a Debian starting point. | 04:01 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:i dont have live cd | 04:01 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:how about dual booting with other linux? | 04:02 |
| millertime_018_ | cpudan80: how do i do that? | 04:02 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: good way, same advice | 04:02 |
| millertime_018_ | cpudan80 ok i got it | 04:02 |
| |PsyTox| | so nobody know of a good audio shaper mix board for ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| Cpudan80 | millertime_018_: well if you read the nickserv help ... you would know - you have to have a registered nick .... | 04:02 |
| neal_s | Laptop shuts down fine, hangs on restart/suspend/hibernate. Running Intrepid. Anyone? | 04:03 |
| DasEi | |PsyTox|: you ask about an equi ? | 04:03 |
| Mobius_thought | PsyTox- I just don't mess with that stuff.. What you might do is do a search for Ubuntu Studio, and take a look at the various packages that it comes with | 04:03 |
| Mobius_thought | I would think as much stuff as it came with, some of it oughtta do what you want, and you cuold just add those into your ubuntu | 04:03 |
| |PsyTox| | DasEi, and EQ board kinda thing yeah, parametric kinda thing would be better but basic eq is a start | 04:04 |
| |PsyTox| | ohh, thaznks, ill have a look | 04:04 |
| gbear14275 | wow... open office has a hard time sorting :-/.... any ideas on how to sort a field while maintaining the row integrity? | 04:04 |
| joetheodd | Anyone know why Ubuntu sometimes randomly clicks when I mouse over stuff? | 04:05 |
| |PsyTox| | i was rather spoiled with KX drivers in win...but i couldnt bear to run winders for that... | 04:05 |
| DasEi | |PsyTox|: mind Mobius, I serched for that a few days, and there somesolutions,but nonative deb's oreasyto compile tarballs, what there is are some apps bringing their own features, but Linux itself away from specialized distros really lack that | 04:05 |
| |PsyTox| | dont mind compileing, after dealing with cacti and some really strange asterisk installs im pretty comfy there | 04:06 |
| codeman__ | are there other servers to chat on other ubuntu | 04:07 |
| xerxeslins | hello. Can i run Ubuntu with 320MB RAM? (sorry my english) | 04:08 |
| eseven73 | codeman__: whats wrong with this one? | 04:08 |
| wrektjet | anyone know of a good guide to dualboot windows AFTER ubuntu is already installed? the info on the community forum is a lil scarce | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | xerxeslins: yes you can | 04:08 |
| wrektjet | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 04:08 |
| |PsyTox| | yes, but id suggest ya have a look at Xubuntu | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: Virtual machine to dual boot????? | 04:08 |
| wrektjet | no im canning virtual machine | 04:09 |
| DasEi | http://sourceforge.net/projects/rteq , |PsyTox| | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: getting rid of the vm idea why? | 04:09 |
| |PsyTox| | xerxeslins, yes, but id suggest ya have a look at Xubuntu, its DE is xfce, much more lightwieght than gnome or kde but still quite robust and friendly | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | xerxeslins: do a 512MB or so swap partition as well :) | 04:09 |
| wrektjet | cant get the cdrom workin properly and i want to insatll all the drivers that came with myu mobo | 04:09 |
| Datz | Hi, I have two Xorg processes, this is not normal? | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | |PsyTox|: Gnome can even work quite well on 256mb RAM | 04:09 |
| xerxeslins | thank very much ! | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: get the guest additions for the XP VM | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: and drivers such as? | 04:10 |
| DasEi | |PsyTox|: I struggled with that 2 days, and afterwards 3 to get rid of the mess again, nice excursion to trace and dpkg | 04:10 |
| |PsyTox| | sebastien, , yes, it can, but if your limited do ya want to devote your tiny amount of ram to loading gnome, or more apps? i used xfce on my lappy for quite a while, its very comfortable | 04:11 |
| Mobius_thought | please can someone advise me with init.d problems? | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: why do you want all the drivers anyway? | 04:11 |
| |PsyTox| | DasEi, rtEq ya meen? | 04:11 |
| wrektjet | raid, chipsets, audio energysaver app | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: Virtualbox ahs it's own virtual drivers of things, so you don't need your actsaul drivers probably | 04:11 |
| DasEi | realplayer offers an extended equi, amarok is enough for waht I'm doing, yes rtEq, |PsyTox| | 04:11 |
| wolter | could you, sebsebseb | 04:11 |
| === yossi is now known as Yossi | ||
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: you should find out more about virtualbox, don't give up on the idea :) | 04:12 |
| |PsyTox| | ive never needed drivers for vbox windows....its always just worked, and quite well | 04:12 |
| wrektjet | ok :) | 04:12 |
| === paulj1 is now known as pauljw | ||
| wrektjet | finnnnnnnnnne | 04:12 |
| wrektjet | lol | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: if your going to play 3D Windows games, then yes you need a dual boot for now, but Codeweavers Crossover Games is working on Linux suppourt | 04:12 |
| Mobius_thought | *sigh* init.d is so basic I know it's only my own ignorance stopping me... can I set an init.d script to run in a secondary session? | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | wolter: could I what? | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | wolter: oh that | 04:12 |
| |PsyTox| | DasEi, was kinda looking for something to remap some of the ports, swap the front and back outputs, since the rear output has a cleaner output, control the freq range that goes out each port, etc...mabey asking alot.... thanks for pointing me at some options though | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: also in your situation it may be worth finding out about VMware as well #vmware | 04:13 |
| Mobius_thought | I have two server programs that want to display status, Ventrilo, and Rtorrent. How can I autostart both of these without one waiting for the other to shut down? | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: Virtualbox also has the advantage of being able to to use VMware disk images :) | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: booting up into a psyicall install of Windows, should only be with a proper good reason :) | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: e.g. a 3D windows game | 04:14 |
| wrektjet | you must really dislike bill gates :) | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: altough that's not really a good reason to use a computer | 04:14 |
| DasEi | |PsyTox|:alsamixergui can handle the different output's , but won't filter the frequs, though allowing f.e. multichannel audio as common cards provide | 04:14 |
| |PsyTox| | portal. spore, halflife, etc all work quite well in wine actually | 04:15 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: no I just want Desktop Linux to have more market share | 04:15 |
| Mobius_thought | yeah wine 1 really lives up to the wait | 04:15 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: and Bill Gates no longer works for Microsoft and that's been quite awhile now | 04:15 |
| DasEi | |PsyTox|:nothing for this channel,but mad dogs prefer active crossovers anyway,lol | 04:15 |
| wrektjet | quick question: is there a way to sort of undio the cghanges u did in a sessiion | 04:15 |
| eseven73 | he's still very much apart of Microsoft though | 04:16 |
| |PsyTox| | DasEi, heh, i just got spoiled with being able to do all that with KX in win...but theres not much that would push me back to win | 04:16 |
| DasEi | !wine | 04:16 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: I think a lot of the more experiened Linux users will agree with me 100% on this one, but this is how things should be when it comes to programs and Windows and Linux. 1. Use stuff that is natively made for Linux, 2. if there is no native version try Wine and even the commercial versions of Wine. 3. no luck virtual machine 4. still no luck fine boot up a psyical install of WIndows and use that | 04:16 |
| gsp2009 | hello all... has anyone seen a bug where things are way too fast (system clock, can't type because of multiple keystrokes, etc.) googled with no relevant results. 8.04 was working fine until yesterday. anyone have any ideas? | 04:17 |
| DasEi | |PsyTox|:or if it really matters to toyou,run a vm | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | wrektjet: you can also get a lot of stuff working well in Wine or it's commercial versions, if you know what your doing | 04:17 |
| |PsyTox| | well... i havent been able to get the KX drivers to run in vbox because KX needs more direct access to the emu101k chip and vbox seems to use an alsa driver kinda thing | 04:18 |
| |PsyTox| | butabout to try a different route | 04:18 |
| kindofabuzz | weird problem here. cannot connect to my deluge daemon running on my server. so i ssh into the box to make sure it's running. allgood. then i try to ping my server, no go. so i can ssh but not ping it. what could be the problem? | 04:18 |
| DasEi | |PsyTox|:or use a specialized distro, like studio or mint ? or...) | 04:19 |

| |PsyTox| | although yeah | 04:20 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: did you try a reboot on that (checked drive) ? | 04:20 |
| kindofabuzz | OpenGEU ftw =) | 04:20 |
| wrektjet | i just removed a bunch of packages i want back. i didnt look closely at teh synaptic listing when i was installing simple-ccsm to try to get compiz working and now i dont have nautilus, add/remove among others. i could just do apt-ghet for them allk but is tehre a way to restore them otherwise? | 04:20 |
| wolter | how do i know which gspca module my webcam uses? | 04:20 |
| |PsyTox| | well, not totally different | 04:20 |
| |PsyTox| | heh, | 04:20 |
| kindofabuzz | wrektjet, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 04:20 |
| jknight | windows failed and we think that the partition with all of the information is damaged, and the errors are showing us that this is likely true. Any suggestions on getting to the files or is it broken? | 04:20 |
| chyea | whenever you do something like: vi files.* | 04:21 |
| chyea | and it opens multiple files | 04:21 |
| chyea | how do you go to the next one | 04:21 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:now i am trying | 04:21 |
| wrektjet | kindofabuzz are u sure about that | 04:21 |
| Bruce | how can i list process but pause so i can see them all? the screen fills up too fast | 04:21 |
| kindofabuzz | wrektjet, that will install the default pakages from when you first installed | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | add a |less | 04:22 |
| zenlunatic | Bruce probably redirect to a file | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | Bruce so like,,, ls -a | less | 04:22 |
| wrektjet | kindofabuzz, will it leave the other packages i installed though since then | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | then press enter a lot | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | or pgdown maybe | 04:22 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:its still crc error | 04:22 |
| wanna_learn_more | any suggestion? | 04:22 |
| DasEi | jknight: is it a large drive ? | 04:23 |
| kindofabuzz | wrektjet, yeah | 04:23 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: can boot safemode ? | 04:23 |
| wrektjet | well i did it shall share with u momentsarily | 04:23 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:trying | 04:23 |
| Droopsta915 | I need to reboot my system, what is the command? | 04:23 |
| wrektjet | ctrl at backspace backspace i think | 04:24 |
| DasEi | Droopsta915:sudo reboot | 04:24 |
| zenlunatic | Droopsta915: init 6 | 04:24 |
| jknight | DasEi: 50.5gb... don't think that counts as large | 04:24 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:crc errors too | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | wrektjet: that only shuts down X | 04:24 |
| Droopsta915 | Ahhh.. the mysterious reboot with a little bit of sudo. thanks | 04:24 |
| wrektjet | oh just the gui? | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | ya | 04:24 |
| wrektjet | whoops sorry | 04:24 |
| DasEi | jknight: if possible,I#d first do a backupwith dd on an external driveand then try poking around | 04:24 |
| wrektjet | i prob should stick to asking questions :) | 04:25 |
| kindofabuzz | sudo shutdown -r now = reboot | 04:25 |
| jknight | I£d? | 04:25 |
| jknight | er | 04:25 |
| whou | Hello, can anyone tell me whether its possible to install ubuntu without burning the iso to a CD -but- "install" the iso on a hard disk and make GRUB see it there? | 04:25 |
| jknight | british keyboard :x | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | whou: that could be done, by making a CDFS partition I think, but that's complacated | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | !install | 04:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate | 04:25 |
| eseven73 | hehe wrektjet same here, i rarely answer anything I just like to learn from everyone as im still kind of noob yet :D | 04:25 |
| zenlunatic | whou: i believe the dd command might be able to do this. no expert here though | 04:26 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:any suggestion again? | 04:26 |
| jknight | DasEi: my friend understands what you mean | 04:26 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: boot another kernel ? | 04:26 |
| jknight | we'll give that a try thank you | 04:26 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:still do the same | 04:26 |
| |PsyTox| | DasEi, your pointing me to Ubuntu studio has made me aware of Jack and jhack rack, i think i could be on to something , thanks | 04:26 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:i have 3 kernel here,2.6.27-7 generic/server and 2.6.27-11 server | 04:26 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:or its because grub error? | 04:27 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: just another | 04:27 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone tried OpenGEU yet? very nice i must say | 04:27 |
| whou | zenlunatic: thanks :) | 04:27 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:just another u mean ?? | 04:27 |

| kindofabuzz | any clues on why i can SSH to my server but cannot ping my server? | 04:29 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: then boot the other ,living sys again, chroot into the faulty one, check the logs, check dmesg, try an update/grade , might be initramfs ; crc mostly is a file no more suiting it's form | 04:29 |
| gsp2009 | does anyone here remember turbo buttons on old 386sx? that is what my 8.04 is doing (as if turbo was pressed). anyone know what could be causing this? | 04:29 |
| kindofabuzz | go go turbo mode!!! *scwiiiiing* | 04:30 |
| DasEi | lol^^ | 04:30 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:how to chroot? | 04:30 |
| neal_s | xerxeslins: Try Xubuntu. | 04:30 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:i mount it to /root/root2 | 04:31 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:then i tried chroot /root/root2 | 04:31 |
| wanna_learn_more | dasei:failed | 04:31 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: you look up root parti of the broken sys, then : sudo chroot /dev/brokensysblaX | 04:31 |
| DasEi | wanna_learn_more: sudo fdisk -l shows your partis | 04:32 |
| rage | Does anyone have a shell command that will trim whitespace... BUT will not buffer the entire input before producing output | 04:32 |

| wrektjet | i somehow murdered the desktop | 04:35 |
| wrektjet | when ubuntu starts up i just get this beige screen | 04:36 |
| wrektjet | luckily i knew the command for opening a terminal | 04:36 |
| chaines | How's it going, guys? | 04:37 |
| usser | rage, i dont think bash can do unbuffered input | 04:37 |
| wrektjet | so ummmmmmmm is this beige blank screen healthy? and does anyone know how to get my old desktop back? | 04:38 |
| Dreamglider | i need help with bluetooth, i cant see nor connect to my phones. | 04:38 |
| rage | usser: cat/bash's normal behavour is to buffer a signle line at a time | 04:38 |
| usser | rage, that is correct. i thought you needed to read character by character, no? | 04:39 |
| rage | Nope, just line by line | 04:39 |
| rage | usser: http://pastebin.com/m98c623e | 04:39 |
| rage | Like that | 04:39 |
| usser | rage, and discard all white spaces? | 04:39 |
| rage | Just leading and trailing | 04:39 |
| rage | similar to trim(); in many scripted languages | 04:40 |
| the9a3eedi | Hi, I've been trying to get into development. I found that a lot of the packages that come with ubuntu (for example KDE-libs) are out of date, and so I have to compile the latest version from source. If I wanted to install the compiled version, does that mean I'd have to remove the package from dpkg? wont it cause conflicts if I dont? | 04:40 |
| Makuseru | In grub, when you point it at a drive you use tags like (hd0,2) and such. How do i figure out the location of a particular drive? | 04:41 |
| wrektjet | so ummm anyone know why my desktop is kaput? | 04:41 |
| rage | Makuseru: Grub scans drives in order, so hd0,2 would be the first harddisk e.g primary master, second partition | 04:42 |
| DasEi | Makuseru: sudo fdisk -l shows you ; hd(x,y) counts from 0, /dev/sdXY from 1, an important factto realize | 04:43 |

| mdettweiler | Hi, I'm trying to boot from a Ubuntu LiveCD on a system that has its CD drives installed through a PCIe IDE header and am at my wits' end as to how to make it work. :-| | 05:08 |
| mdettweiler | Essentially, I'm trying to reinstall a corrupted Windows XP setup (the system is a dualboot), but since XP will of course wipe out GRUB, I'll need to use a LiveCD to restore it. Thus, before installing XP I'm currently trying to verify that I can indeed boot from my LiveCD. | 05:08 |
| mdettweiler | The problem is, no matter what CD I try--even some CD's that have been verified to work OK with other computers--my computer refuses to boot from it. | 05:09 |
| rww | mdettweiler: This is a little apropos, but perhaps you could use a live USB system instead of CD? | 05:09 |
| mdettweiler | @rww: hmm, interesting possibility. however I don't have a spare USB drive that owuld work... | 05:09 |
| n2diy | mdettweiler: did your cd reader die? | 05:10 |
| mdettweiler | What really befuddles me is that the BIOS recognizes both of my CD drives just fine. They're both listed on the boot order config page, and the system *is* set to boot from CD first, floppy second, and hard drive next. | 05:10 |
| mdettweiler | @n2diy: no, it works fine once I've booted up into Ubuntu (from the hard disk). I can mount and read CD's without a problem. | 05:11 |
| mdettweiler | Floppies do, however, boot fine, so I tried a whole slew of different "universal boot floppy" things. | 05:11 |
| ubuntu_ | hey i totslly messed up my iubuntu | 05:12 |
| ubuntu_ | how can i revert back to original or install again on top? | 05:12 |
| mdettweiler | ...including "Smart Boot Loader" (maybe the name was slightly different) which seemed to be recommended on the Ubuntu web site in various places. Everywhere I read it says that Smart Boot Loader is supposed to load from CD's easily, but for me it didn't even notice that I had any CD drives! | 05:12 |
| mdettweiler | which is really confusing, since the BIOS recognizes the drives just fine. | 05:13 |
| ubuntu_ | if i just run the cd and install it in the same partition as the original would that work | 05:13 |
| eternaljoy | can anyone help me connect a Huawei E160G USB key using Three Wireless broadband to the internet? | 05:13 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as brokemyOS | ||
| b4chip | how can I see the machine configuration from command line? | 05:14 |
| mdettweiler | @brokemyOS: yeah, that should work. if you want to be extra sure the messed-up system is gone, though, you should delete your partition, then make a new one during install. that should do it. | 05:14 |
| sei | sup | 05:14 |
| n2diy | b4chip: lshw will list your hardware. | 05:14 |
| brokemyOS | fine ok thnx be back soon i hoep | 05:14 |
| b4chip | many thx n2diy | 05:16 |
| b4chip | lshw: command not found | 05:17 |
| mdettweiler | I realize my setup is a little unorthodox--both of my CD drives are running off of a PCIe IDE card since the one IDE header on my mobo is tied up with two hard drives. In retrospect I probably should have bought a PCI IDE card since it would be more widely supported, but... :-) | 05:17 |
| mdettweiler | but one would think that as long as the BIOS recognizes the drives fine, then it *should* be able to automatically boot a bootable CD loaded into them, right? | 05:17 |
| mdettweiler | I tried both CD drives--master and slave--and neither worked. | 05:18 |
| mdettweiler | does anyone know why this might be happening? | 05:19 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: have you tried using the boot menu? | 05:20 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: you mean the grub menu? | 05:21 |
| n2diy | mdettweiler: are you running more than four ide devices? | 05:21 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: no, most bios have a specific key that'll let you choose what to boot from | 05:21 |
| mdettweiler | @n2diy: no, just 4. two on the mobo's ide header, two on the PCIe card. | 05:21 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: ah, I get it. No, I don't think my BIOS has that option. | 05:21 |
| mdettweiler | ...at least I don't see any such option listed on the splash screen. | 05:22 |
| jeeez | how do i burn an iso image into a thumbdrive? | 05:22 |
| petafile | Is anyone aware of a text editor that allows you to view one document as 2 columns? I'd like to be able to look at 2 parts of my code simultaneously. I love gedit, but to my knowledge it doesn't do that | 05:22 |
| mdettweiler | then again, my BIOS's splash screen isn't that descriptive anyway...it doesn't even list the key for BIOS setup, which apperently is F1. | 05:22 |
| b4chip | how can I see what rights are applied to a directory? | 05:22 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: it might not show on the screen but it should have it, | 05:22 |
| n2diy | mdettweiler: are the two unsed mobo devices disabled? I would think the they should be, so the remote card can use them? | 05:23 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: hmm...interesting. Any suggestions on what keys to try? (this is an intel motherboard, for a core 2 duo) | 05:23 |
| n2diy | unsed/unused | 05:23 |
| dronix | b4chip: easiest way is to right-click on the directory and choos permissions tab | 05:23 |
| === _Lepohi is now known as Lepohi | ||
| mdettweiler | @n2diy: what unused mobo devices? both of the IDE devices on the mobo's header are used--they're both hard drives, hda and hdb. | 05:23 |
| mdettweiler | ubuntu runs from hdb, XP from hda. | 05:23 |
| b4chip | how can I see what rights are applied to a directory from command line? | 05:24 |
| Rave1_ | jeeez, Unetbootin works nicely | 05:24 |
| jeeez | how do i burn an iso image into a thumbdrive? | 05:24 |
| jeeez | Rave1_: thanks, i'll check it out | 05:25 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: try F12 | 05:25 |
| n2diy | mdettweiler: ok, you have two devices on the primary ide, and two on the secondary? I thought you mentioned a PCI IDE card too? | 05:25 |
| mdettweiler | okay, I'll try that, thanks. I'll have to reboot my computer (since I'm on IRC from the same computer), so I'll have to sign off for now. | 05:26 |
| mdettweiler | @n2diy: the secondary *is* on the PCIe card (there's no PCI card)--Core 2 motherboards only have one onboard IDE header. | 05:26 |
| n2diy | mdettweiler: ah, ok, I learned something then. | 05:27 |
| mdettweiler | okay, I'll sign off now so I can try dronix's suggestion regarding the F12 key... | 05:27 |

| James1324 | hello... anyone know where I can find the repositories for EDGY? | 05:33 |
| o0Chris0o | !alacarte | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alacarte | 05:34 |
| o0Chris0o | :( | 05:34 |
| Flannel | James1324: Edgy has been EOL for... a while now. You really should consider upgrading. | 05:34 |
| mdettweiler | okay, I'm back... | 05:34 |
| James1324 | Flannel, I need it for 1 more month | 05:35 |
| James1324 | Flannel, isn't the updgrade going to mess up a lot of things? a format is better right? | 05:36 |
| o0Chris0o | whats the difference between tar.bz2 and tar.gz? | 05:36 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: I tried the F12 trick to get the boot menu. I got something called "Intel Boot Agent"--but the first thing it did was try to get a DHCP address, and then failing that (which is odd since my network does have DHCP), it just decided to quit and hand things off to grub as like a normal bootup. | 05:36 |
| James1324 | bz2 compression is different than gz | 05:36 |
| Booh | hum.... impossible to connect to cisco vpn too... but all my connexions was working a month ago! | 05:36 |
| Titan8990 | o0Chris0o, different compression methods, bz2 is more compressed and gz is after compression/decompression times | 05:36 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: what key do you use to access your bios? | 05:36 |
| Flannel | James1324: um, a fresh install would be a lot nicer for you, since you have to upgrade three times to get to something reasonable (Hardy). | 05:37 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: F1 | 05:37 |
| Flannel | James1324: although, no, upgrades wont break things | 05:37 |
| o0Chris0o | Titan8990: alright so it doesn't matter which I download then if its the same file? | 05:37 |
| Titan8990 | o0Chris0o, no, it doesn't matter | 05:37 |
| James1324 | Flannel, if they won't break things then I can upgrade | 05:37 |
| James1324 | if your sure | 05:37 |
| o0Chris0o | Titan8990: alright, thanks | 05:38 |
| Flannel | James1324: well, Edgy requires some special upgrade stuff to get to Feisty (since Feisty is also EOL), and then Feisty will need some special stuff to get to Gutsy (Gutsy isn't EOL yet, another month or so) | 05:38 |
| Titan8990 | James1324, i think what he means to say is upgrades are not supposed to break anything... | 05:38 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: though, I have already gone through my entire BIOS setup system and found nothing enlightening. As I said before, the BIOS recognizes both CD drives just fine--yet for some reason it won't *boot* from them. :-? | 05:38 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: hmm, ok, don't know which F key actually will display your boot menu, try from F2 - F12, also give ESC a try | 05:38 |
| n2diy | James1324: as a last resort, you could use the Debian repos. | 05:38 |
| James1324 | okay, here's my plan.. get the repositories (universal) working for EDGY .. then upgrade in a months time | 05:39 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: did you change your boot order ino your bios to boot from cd drive first? | 05:39 |
| Flannel | n2diy: That would be entirely silly. | 05:39 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: okay. F12 seemed like it did something with the boot menu, possibly a "boot menu, skip to netboot" choice--I'll give some of the other F-keys and ESC a try as you suggest. | 05:39 |
| === Noah0504 is now known as Noah0504|away | ||
| mdettweiler | @dronix: yes, it's set to CD, Floppy, HD-1, HD-2. | 05:39 |
| mdettweiler | (GRUB is on HD-1) | 05:39 |
| n2diy | Flannel: I said as a last resort. | 05:39 |
| Flannel | James1324: you can move your sources to old-releases.ubuntu.com | 05:39 |
| James1324 | Flannel, I'm not following | 05:40 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: does the drive light up when you boot? | 05:40 |
| James1324 | my old sources? | 05:40 |
| Flannel | James1324: Open your sources.list and change all of the URLs to old-releases.ubuntu.com (instead of archive.ubuntu.com or security.ubuntu.om) | 05:40 |
| Flannel | James1324: That'll work as repositories. Mind you, those versions haven't been updated for *over* a year now. And there are some major vulnerabilities that are still present in Edgy. | 05:40 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: well, when the computer first powers up, it lights up a bit and spins a small bit, but interestingly enough, right after the BIOS is finished with its splash screen, the CD is dead quiet with no noises. It doesn't start making noises/flashing until about the middle of the Ubuntu loading process. | 05:40 |
| Flannel | James1324: I strongly advise against using SSH on that machine, for instance. | 05:41 |
| Flannel | James1324: that is, a SSH server. | 05:41 |
| James1324 | I use SSH all that time | 05:41 |
| James1324 | Flannel* | 05:41 |
| Flannel | James1324: As a server? | 05:41 |
| James1324 | yes | 05:41 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: can you access your cd drive in ubuntu? | 05:41 |
| James1324 | the machine is a server | 05:41 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: yes, in fact I've got the Ubuntu LiveCD mounted and accessible right now. | 05:41 |
| Flannel | James1324: You're aware you're still vulnerable to that major SSL vulnerability that was all the rage a year ago, right? | 05:41 |
| James1324 | I'm aware that I was | 05:42 |
| James1324 | but I took care of it | 05:42 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: you mean you are talking using the live cd? | 05:42 |
| Flannel | James1324: How exactly did you 'take care of it'? | 05:42 |
| James1324 | downloaded the update for it | 05:42 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: yes, I'm trying to use the LiveCD. | 05:42 |
| James1324 | EDGY didn't go EOL that long ago | 05:42 |
| Flannel | James1324: Edgy EOLd before the update. | 05:42 |
| Flannel | James1324: So unless you compiled your own... | 05:43 |
| rww | James1324: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1 | 05:43 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: this is mainly so that when I reinstall XP to replace a corrupted dualboot installation, I can use the LiveCD to restore GRUB after Windows wipes it out. | 05:43 |
| rww | James1324: ^ is what Flannel's talking about ^ | 05:43 |
| James1324 | EDGY is 6.10.. and not on that list | 05:43 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: though, with the way things are acting right now, it won't boot from *any* cd, whether it's the Ubuntu LiveCD, or the XP install CD, or anything else for that matter. | 05:43 |
| Flannel | James1324: right, because it was EOL at the time (and understood that it wouldn'tbe getting more updates) | 05:43 |
| James1324 | ohh shittt really FLANNEL | 05:44 |
| James1324 | haha wow | 05:44 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: I meant if you were using the live cd now, but I"m guessing you are just using your ubuntu partition? | 05:44 |
| James1324 | but 1 more thing.. I got an update notification for it | 05:44 |
| rww | James1324: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/229951 . Dapper wasn't vulnerable to it. Edgy was. | 05:44 |
| James1324 | and updated the SSH thing | 05:44 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: ah, I see. Yes, I'm using the Ubuntu installed on the HD right now. | 05:44 |
| quietas | Hey folks, is there a way to do an online dist upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 without doing 8.10 in the middle? | 05:44 |
| Flannel | James1324: What does `lsb_release -a` give you? | 05:44 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: but the LiveCD is in the drive. | 05:44 |
| Flannel | quietas: No. | 05:44 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: do you have a floppy drive? | 05:45 |
| Flannel | quietas: Also, #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty (which is still a development version) support/questions. Thanks | 05:45 |
| James1324 | gives me :"Release 6.10" | 05:45 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: yes, and the system *does* boot from floppy OK. | 05:45 |
| rmrfslash_ | I'm noticing that Ubuntu uses only the first entry in resolv.conf | 05:45 |
| James1324 | + other stuff | 05:45 |
| rww | quietas: The only supported upgrade path from 8.04 is to the next LTS release when it comes out, and 8.10. | 05:45 |
| rmrfslash_ | the first nameserver | 05:45 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: I believe you can create a bootable floppy to force your bios to boot into your cd | 05:46 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: but everywhere I search online for a Ubuntu bootfloppy, the best I get is instructions on how to make a rescue floppy with a GRUB duplicated from that on the HD. | 05:46 |
| dronix | ah ok | 05:46 |
| Titan8990 | rmrfslash_, it attempts to use it first, if it works, it won't bother to keep looking | 05:46 |
| rmrfslash_ | which in my case is broken. Is this a bug? How can I edit this file as the file is overwritten by dhclient? | 05:46 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: hmm, I was thinking along those same lines myself, but again, I was having a hard time actually finding something to that extent through Google (searched for "ubuntu boot floppy") | 05:46 |
| Flannel | James1324: Right. You did not get an update for it. | 05:46 |
| Titan8990 | rmrfslash_, don't use DHCP if you want static DNS | 05:46 |
| rmrfslash_ | I need DHCP for my IP address | 05:47 |
| James1324 | Flannel, ohh I think I figured out what happened, I actually did the update then upgrade my Ubuntu to 6.10 from 6.06 (Dapper) the LTS | 05:47 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: hmm, well, give those keys a try first, if that doesn't work. we'll figure it out | 05:47 |
| Titan8990 | rmrfslash_, you set up static addresses | 05:47 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: okay, I'll sign off now so I can reboot and give the other F-keys a try. | 05:47 |
| Flannel | James1324: Why on earth did you upgrade from an LTS for a server (that you weren't going to upgrade for 3 years?) | 05:47 |
| n2diy | James1324: you can update from LTS to LTS | 05:47 |
| rmrfslash_ | I don't control the DHCP server | 05:47 |
| James1324 | because I'm an idiot | 05:47 |
| dronix | lol @ James1324 | 05:48 |
| James1324 | when is the next LTS out? | 05:48 |
| Flannel | James1324: Alright. Well, you can use old-releases in the meantime. Definately install 8.04 when you're ready to upgrade. | 05:48 |
| Flannel | James1324: and then stick with 8.04 until 10.04 comes out | 05:48 |
| rmrfslash_ | I'm just wondering why I have nameservers in my resolv.conf that are from my place of employment (I'm at home on my home wireless) | 05:49 |
| crdlb | James1324: afaik, that particular vulnerability only affects key generation, so if you generated your key pair on dapper, it should be ok | 05:49 |
| n2diy | James1324: 8.04 | 05:49 |
| crdlb | but of course, that's not the only one | 05:49 |
| quietas | 8.04 is quite stable, I've been running my 3 servers on it and work after replacing 6.06 | 05:49 |
| James1324 | 8.04 LTS is what I'll do | 05:49 |

| mustafa | hello:) | 05:52 |
| James1324 | I was planning on waiting till the 2TB HDD's come down in price before my new Ubuntu Install | 05:52 |
| James1324 | but I guess I'll have to do this on my old box which can't handle the 8.04 | 05:52 |
| rmrfslash_ | I think these nameservers are coming from /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/tun0 or /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/resolvconf | 05:52 |
| rmrfslash_ | can I edit these files? | 05:52 |
| mustafa | l | 05:52 |
| rmrfslash_ | or delete them? | 05:52 |
| rmrfslash_ | what is tun0... a tunnel? | 05:53 |
| n2diy | quietas: stock firewall, and no option in services. | 05:53 |
| Titan8990 | rmrfslash_, yes, its a tunnel interface | 05:53 |
| quietas | James1234: Hehe, I've done the same. I use a Raptor 146gb as the OS drive, then 2x 500gb from my older server, 2x 1tb from my current server and I'll add in 2x 2tb this summer probably | 05:53 |

| mdettweiler | @dronix: thanks, F12 worked! | 05:53 |
| Titan8990 | mdkess_, https://wiki.edubuntu.org/FrameBuffer | 05:54 |
| dronix | mdettweiler: ok great | 05:54 |
| n2diy | Tech-Mike: a stock xubuntu install, so I haven't played with anything like that. I was hoping it would work out of the box. | 05:54 |
| mdettweiler | @dronix: thanks a bunch--have a great day! :-D | 05:54 |
| dronix | you too | 05:54 |
| rmrfslash_ | so this was likely made by the VPN client I tried to install a few hours ago (which failed to compile) | 05:54 |
| mdettweiler | signing off now... | 05:54 |
| quietas | n2diy: are you connecting across the same lan then? | 05:54 |
| Tech-Mike | n2diy: do u have a router | 05:54 |
| rmrfslash_ | Can I delete this? | 05:54 |
| Titan8990 | rmrfslash_, possibly, if so it probably altered NAT rules in iptables too | 05:55 |
| rmrfslash_ | iptables -L shows no rules | 05:55 |
| Titan8990 | rmrfslash_, if you don't need it, yes | 05:55 |
| n2diy | quietas: , Tech-Mike, yes, both boxes are on the same lan, and router. | 05:55 |
| afallenhope | hey I recompiled all the alsa drivers and utils and everything so I know it's not an issue with that. I'm simply asking if I'm trying to follow the following tutorial does it matter that I'm on amd64 running 32 bit skype and 64bit jackd? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=577914) | 05:55 |
| Tech-Mike | n2diy: in your router settings try setting up port forwarding for the corrisponding ports for remote access | 05:56 |
| Titan8990 | afallenhope, that would probably be best asked on that forum thread | 05:56 |
| afallenhope | the error is Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so | 05:56 |
| quietas | TEch-Mike: He shouldn't need to do port forwarding if he is connecgin from inside the lan to another box inside the lan | 05:56 |
| Titan8990 | afallenhope, did you actually compile alsa drivers from source? | 05:57 |
| Tech-Mike | quietas: true but worth a try | 05:57 |
| n2diy | Tech-Mike: umm, why would the router allow one box to connect to the other, and not the other way around? | 05:57 |
| afallenhope | Titan8990, yeah. I used the script provided at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810 | 05:57 |
| afallenhope | and everything updated correctly | 05:57 |
| quietas | n2diy: is a firewall like ufw or iptables/ipchains running? | 05:57 |
| Titan8990 | afallenhope, wow, thats really not recommended.... | 05:59 |
| n2diy | quietas: I would imagine, I'm new te Xubuntu, so I'm not sure. I never had this trouble with Ubuntu. | 05:59 |
| afallenhope | Titan8990, runs better than it used to.. | 05:59 |
| daniel13 | alguem poderia me ajudar a instalar o broffice eu tentei todas as maneiras na net | 05:59 |
| daniel13 | por favor | 05:59 |
| Titan8990 | afallenhope, well, I would recommend using one of those tutorial threads | 06:00 |
| Titan8990 | afallenhope, compiling modules from source is really not the ubuntu way of doing things | 06:00 |
| o0Chris0o | how do I change the mouse themes....I forgot.. | 06:00 |

| afallenhope | Titan8990, yeah... well ubuntu is slow at releasing UP TO DATE drivers. soooo I do it my own way lol. | 06:01 |
| quietas | n2diy: i run most of my linux using server version, and windows as the client, bear with me. As I remember there should be a tool to configure the firewall in the settings menu. I'd turn it off and check VNC at that point | 06:01 |
| quietas | Someone out ther with Xubuntu able to check the exact steps? | 06:01 |
| Titan8990 | quietas, you have to install a GUI for iptables | 06:02 |
| Titan8990 | !iptables | quietas n2diy | 06:02 |
| ubottu | quietas n2diy: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 06:02 |

| Titan8990 | quietas, ufw is a CLI tool, I think it needs to be installed as well | 06:02 |

| xMopx | Hey guys - Any tips on what format to use on an external disk that is ubuntu/windiows/mac compatible, NOT ntfs. It needs to be able to hold files >4gb, so that rules out FAT, I believe | 06:46 |
| n2diy | ! dpkg | 06:46 |
| ubottu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 06:46 |

| Titan8990 | xMopx, yeah... try the ext windows drivers | 06:48 |
| bsdunix | pyrohotdog: yes | 06:48 |
| n2diy | Kasm279: have you tried sudo apt-get install? | 06:48 |
| Titan8990 | gte351s, depends on what your trying to do | 06:49 |
| Kasm279 | anythin else (im logging this for tomorrow) | 06:49 |
| Kasm279 | no | 06:49 |
| xMopx | I would, but I've also tried them on mac and they're about the same as ntfs-3g - terrible... | 06:49 |
| Titan8990 | xMopx, they both use similar FUSE drivers | 06:49 |
| quietas | kasm279: I'd try the clean or autoclean, that should clear out all downloaded packages | 06:49 |

| gte351s | n2diy: yeah, that's what I thought :D | 06:53 |
| Titan8990 | gte351s, you have to chroot into your ubuntu drive for something like that | 06:53 |

| eMaX | don't look at them | 06:56 |
| Titan8990 | gte351s, now, assuming you mounted it to /media/ubuntu: mount -t proc none /media/ubuntu/proc && mount -o bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev && chroot /media/ubuntu /bin/bash && envupdate | 06:57 |
| Titan8990 | gte351s, from a root shell: sudo -i | 06:57 |
| the99zChris | no, but i did run a couple lines of commands i didn't entirely understand in the terminal, would xorg be a good place to start lookin? | 06:57 |
| gte351s | Titan8990: I think I'm mounted from /media/disk - how do I find out? | 06:58 |
| roccity_ | the99zChris: yeah check the depth that it is running at and the video driver I think you want at least 24 for the depth | 06:58 |

| the99zChris | to be honest i don't know, i copy/pasted which i'm now seriously regretting.. no screen resolution option from right click desktop though | 07:00 |
| Titan8990 | gte351s, it should be a linux formatted drive, I would be very surprised if a linux install would even work on fat | 07:01 |
| the99zChris | and no option to change colors when i go to system>preferences>screen resolution | 07:01 |

| gte351s | Titan8990: really?.. wont it mess everything up? | 07:16 |

| stefodnb | How do I downgrade subversion from 1.5.1 to 1.3.2? | 08:21 |
| stefodnb | (compatibility problems) | 08:21 |
| cast | stefodnb: hmm, i'd suggest installing 1.3.2 in /usr/local, | 08:22 |
| stefodnb | and have 2 coexisting versions? sounds messy, no? | 08:23 |
| ill | Anyone know if Ubuntu 8.10 has any compatibility issues with Radeon 4850x2? | 08:23 |
| cast | not as messy as having 1.3 installed but all the rest of the packages for your release expecting 1.4 or 1.5 | 08:23 |
| tomcyl | anyone know why my NVIDIA ACCELERATED driver can not activate? do i need to change the card? | 08:23 |
| cast | stefodnb: hmm, in what way are you using svn? | 08:24 |
| stefodnb | cast: ok, I was thinking my system had a requirement for something like svn >= 1.1, svn <= 1.5.1 | 08:24 |
| c7m | it didn't work for me O_o | 08:24 |
| stefodnb | cast: Well we are developing software, I have a working copy which I edit and commit | 08:25 |
| stefodnb | cast: so other people on my team can get the changes. Normal stuff.. | 08:25 |
| c7m | download driver from nvidia and install via console | 08:25 |
| c7m | nothing with your card i guess | 08:25 |
| cast | stefodnb: hmm, OT: ever used a distributed rcs? :) | 08:25 |
| stefodnb | cast: Nope. Coworkers are still struggling to switch from emailing diffs around, I'm keeping it as simple as possible. dvcs requires that one knows what hes doing. | 08:26 |
| cast | stefodnb: what compatibility issue are you running into? might be another way around it, if you let 1.5 touch your repo it may automagically upgrade it so 1.3 can't read it | 08:27 |
| === zone is now known as Guest2856 | ||
| stefodnb | cast: yeah, that seems to be what happened. Coworker using 1.3 fails to "svn up" a repo i touched with 1.5 | 08:29 |
| stefodnb | it seems he's going to upgrade and i won't be downgrading, anyway. | 08:29 |
| cast | that's probably the better way to go about it :) | 08:29 |
| stefodnb | yeah if it's possible. i wasn't sure if his ubuntu 6.06 can support a recent svn version. | 08:30 |
| cast | i don't keep track of their changes between releases anymore, but i presume they would have fixed at least a few bugs between 1.3 and 1.5 | 08:30 |
| cast | stefodnb: i'd very much expect one to be able to install subversion on it | 08:30 |
| stefodnb | i said a _recent_ svn, i.e. 1.5.1 | 08:31 |
| cast | ahh, sorry, i meant recent svn :) | 08:31 |
| stefodnb | ah, cool. | 08:32 |
| prasot | k | 08:32 |
| cast | i don't have svn installed as i'm short on space, but i do pull from svn:// with hg often :) hmm, wonder how much ci support there is for hg/git to svn | 08:32 |
| stefodnb | do you mean using a bridge like git-svn, or natively from git? | 08:34 |
| Kimi | HI | 08:35 |
| Kimi | If i use guided use entire disk option for a 40gb hard disk... will it erase all the 40 gb and install .............. or it will completely delte the C drive alone ????? | 08:35 |

| Ranakah | 5.1 sound don't work in ubuntu intrepid? | 08:40 |
| cast | stefodnb: very likely, you can either [as you may have] look for a backport, see if you can build the .deb src package on 6.06, or make your own .deb for 6.06, or do the ol ./configure make make install | 08:40 |

| ScrowMABTW | I loaded file sharing on my Ubuntu box, and I can connect from my windows laptop, but when I play video files on the windows box, I only get audio! What's wrong? | 09:01 |
| cast | n2diy: office 2k7 i believe | 09:01 |
| cast | ScrowMABTW: whereas, when you copy the videos over they play fine? | 09:01 |
| ScrowMABTW | Oh I hadn't tried that... what i did | 09:01 |
| IceyBlack | cast | 09:02 |
| ScrowMABTW | The files are all stored on the Ubuntu box | 09:02 |
| ScrowMABTW | I can connect to the drive from the windows box | 09:02 |
| n2diy | cast, the new release of Win? | 09:02 |
| ScrowMABTW | But I cannot get video to work, just the audio portion | 09:02 |
| cast | voice5sur5: i've got no idea bro, how exactly the shutdown process works is beyond me. it's always 'just worked' for me, | 09:02 |
| cast | ScrowMABTW: well we need to isolate it down, is it related to ubuntu at all, the best way to do that would be to have ubuntu not involved in the process at all | 09:03 |
| ScrowMABTW | They all play fine on the Ubuntu box. They are just AVI files | 09:03 |
| IceyBlack | maybe i must install a new extension or something? | 09:03 |
| IceyBlack | or it is that possible? | 09:03 |
| cast | ScrowMABTW: most of the time it's a codec issue | 09:03 |
| tomcyl | my ubuntu got too many problem , any way i can reset it back to normal? | 09:03 |
| ScrowMABTW | But they are just AVI files and I am using Windows Media Player... | 09:03 |
| cast | ScrowMABTW: grab mplayer, or vlc, for windows :) WMP shit | 09:03 |
| ScrowMABTW | But why would WMP not work? | 09:04 |
| cast | ScrowMABTW: avi is just a container format, it could have a video stream encoded with one of several video codecs | 09:04 |
| tomcyl | hello all. | 09:04 |
| tomcyl | help | 09:04 |
| ScrowMABTW | I see... | 09:04 |

| cast | i do not use windows, or wmp ;) | 09:05 |
| DasEi | ScrowMABTW: use vlc player | 09:05 |
| cast | IceyBlack: if open office is failing you, you could look for another program that opens .pps | 09:05 |
| tomcyl | windows? not ubuntu? | 09:05 |

| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:well, but i keep getting that terminal screen everytime i try to exit x server | 09:36 |
| AnRkey | ivanatwork, if your scanner supports scan to folder and windows shares then set up a smb share and scan to that | 09:37 |
| DasE1 | thelinuxN00b: single file ? | 09:37 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: what terminal screen? | 09:37 |

| thelinuxN00b | DasE1: tried a single file still didnt work | 09:37 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:i am trying to install NVIDIA graphics, which requires x server shutdown | 09:38 |

| ivanatwork | AnRkey: i have an Epson Photo, not a network scanner. Too bad I found only gscan2pdf with german (!!) OCR... | 09:38 |
| DasE1 | thelinuxN00b: sudo cp -r /path/of/folder /path/to/folder , checkout sudo fdisk -l before to get correct devicenames | 09:38 |

| AnRkey | hummahumma, it also downloads the drivers for u | 09:38 |
| DasE1 | thelinuxN00b: external drive is mounted ? | 09:38 |

| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: if you manually install them sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop is the command that you are looking for, execute this from a console which you can access with ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 | 09:39 |
| DasE1 | thelinuxN00b: type: mount ,to see all mounted devices | 09:40 |

| DasE1 | !latest | 09:49 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 09:49 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nightclaw: backport does not mean back to previous versions but back from future versions to this one;) | 09:49 |

| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:how do i remove the driver? | 10:07 |

| nightclaw | http://nopaste.at/e8e604c5d2 anyone any idea left why it does not update? | 10:10 |

| nightclaw | same result as normal upgrade | 10:12 |

| clusty | hey. is there a way to see which process is hogging all the I/O bandwidth ? (something like a per process iostat) ? | 11:56 |
| kenneth_ | ubottu, compiz? | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz? | 11:57 |
| nightclaw | it suggests autoremove for several packages | 11:57 |
| nightclaw | libpurple being in the list | 11:57 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nightclaw: autoremove... well thats not the point... | 11:57 |
| remoteCTRL1 | libpurple? | 11:57 |
| nightclaw | libpurple-bin to be precise | 11:57 |
| kenneth_ | compiz not loading as default. How to make it load? | 11:57 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nightclaw: ok in that case sudp apt-get autoremove | 11:57 |

| ohletmeinnowjesu | hi guys | 11:58 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:hey how do i get permission to edit a file /etc/bash.bashrc? i need to edit this for proxy | 11:59 |
| nightclaw | yes it is indeed | 11:59 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | so heres a seemingly stupid question | 11:59 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: sudo gedit <file> | 11:59 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | does the ext3 fs get fragmented? | 11:59 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | if not, why? | 11:59 |
| remoteCTRL1 | !fragmentation | 11:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fragmentation | 11:59 |
| nightclaw | remoteCTRL1 going down for reboot, brb | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | They designed it to reduce fragmentation from the start. | 12:00 |
| johnny0103 | 大家好啊 | 12:00 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ohletmeinnowjesu: no it doesnt and the reason is complicated, google for spanning tree | 12:00 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | spanning tree ok | 12:00 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:it doesnt open ! | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | it can get fragmented - but not near as badly as other fss can and its self-defragmenting from what i hear. (or its smarter i guess you can say) | 12:00 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | remoteCTRL1 hey | 12:01 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ohletmeinnowjesu: err sorry not spanning tree, gimme a sec | 12:01 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: why not | 12:01 |
| Pici | ohletmeinnowjesu: http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org/index.php/2006/08/17/why_doesn_t_linux_need_defragmenting | 12:01 |
| nightclaw | pidgin is still there and working | 12:03 |
| === Zorglub_ is now known as Pica | ||
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:just nothing happens..and if i try to go to the file from file browser, it says permissions denied | 12:03 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ohletmeinnowjesu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 there it is explained | 12:03 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: if you want to acces system files via nautilus you need to open nautilus with gksudo nautilus, then you also may access system files | 12:04 |
| tyranos | about pidgin , i just reveived a message from a friend saying i sent him some spam , altough i didnt , and i dont have windows ????????? is my msn messenger haked | 12:04 |
| Lint02 | ohletmeinnowjesu: all filesystems get fragmented | 12:05 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:i typed gksudo nautilius, is asked for password...i gave it ..and then it disapperaed | 12:05 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: err you did just reinstall ubuntu if i am not mistaken? | 12:05 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:yes | 12:05 |
| sarmisak | tyranos: whoa, that's really weird | 12:05 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: hell and already broken?:D | 12:06 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:broken? | 12:06 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:hey tell me please, how to access that file | 12:06 |
| tyranos | sarmisak, i think either his msn is hacked or really someone hacked into my msn | 12:07 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: well i already did tell you both ways | 12:07 |
| brucelee | you still there ziroday? | 12:07 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:well nautilius asked for password, and then what do i do? | 12:07 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: if not with gedit you can try and access it with sudo nano <file> | 12:07 |
| ad13 | does anyone have a tut on external displays from ati mobile cards? having a bit of a stress here | 12:07 |
| sarmisak | tyranos: I think its his msn, it's probably a worm | 12:07 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: ya then you got a filebrowser with root access | 12:08 |
| sarmisak | tyranos: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_IRCBOT.SN&VSect=P | 12:08 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: then you can open all files, also system files | 12:08 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:well but i still cant edit bash.bashrc | 12:08 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: why not? still permission denied? | 12:09 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:yes | 12:09 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: you do the SUDO infront of the command, right? | 12:10 |
| pengzn | i cannot use my firefox and i donot have an IE | 12:10 |
| hummahumma | sudo nautilius...thats what i did | 12:10 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: no idea dude, i can open it without any problems... | 12:10 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:but can u edit it? | 12:11 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: i told you GKSUDO not sudo nautilus;) | 12:11 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: of course i can | 12:11 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:yeah that...i did that..and it asked for password which i gave t | 12:11 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: so then you should see a filebrowser now whcih has root access | 12:11 |
| hummahumma | after gksudo nautlius, i should get a filebrowser start automatically? | 12:12 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: that would be the purpuose of the comman, yes | 12:12 |
| hummahumma | remoteCTRL1:but i didnt see any filebrowser after that! | 12:13 |
| nightclaw | hummahumma: check your spelling | 12:13 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hummahumma: do you enter the command into the console or into alt+f2? | 12:13 |
| remoteCTRL1 | nightclaw: better now? | 12:14 |

| beli | ohletmeinnowjesu: xargs | 12:24 |

| ecret | one other thing, my local user has port 127.0.1.1, my lan address is 192.168.0.107, is it possible to forward every 192.168.0.107 to the 127.0.1.1? I know it sounds strange but I am using a tool that rejects the 192.168.0.107 | 12:33 |

| Guest69020 | i have all the dependencies | 12:53 |

| Guest69020 | how i do it? | 12:55 |
| mspoula | ikonia: you suggested that I try jbod on my system yesterday. All the raid controller let me do was a 0 or 1 when I took out the container as a whole the ubuntu install didn't see any drives at all. I found version 8.04 of Ubuntu has issues with the raid firmware. Is there a way to update the firmware without reinstalling windows? | 12:55 |
| ortsvorsteher | beli: why not. i am satisfied with hp-ux 11.31 now ;) | 12:55 |
| ikonia | mspoula maybe able to do it through a dos boot disk disk | 12:55 |

| Tryfon | i have adobe flash plugin btw | 13:45 |
| Tryfon | i have adobe flash plugin btw anarki | 13:45 |
| anarki | are you sure you arent using flashplugin-nonfree or have it still installed? | 13:45 |
| AncientRage | joa2, if the files are missing off the CD, it might be a corrupted install CD and might have not been written properly, trying downloading the CD again and burn it again. | 13:45 |
| Tryfon | alright anarki i ll do what u said then:) | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | joa2: thers some forum posts/wiki pages i think on doing a 'normal' full install to a external usb hard drive.. that kind of install can cause problems. | 13:46 |
| anarki | flashplugin-nonfree is buggy, and even if you installed adobe-flashplugin it will not function right because of flashplugin-nonfree | 13:46 |
| joa2 | AncientRage: but i can boot the live version, so i think the file has to exist.. or does the cd not use the same kernel? | 13:46 |
| Tryfon | anarki yes | 13:46 |
| Tryfon | i did what u said | 13:47 |
| joa2 | actually everzthing installed fine, i had to install grub manually but i am missing the kernel. i can run only the memtest tool | 13:47 |

| SmokeyD | dr_willis: i know, but it is kind of a pain to mount each iso file, search it and unmount it, if you are just looking for the correct iso file which contains a specific file among many iso files | 14:09 |
| Tryfon | dr_willis: evidently the problem is on my side | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: write a script to seqentially mount iso files and search the mount point recursively for the file | 14:10 |
| === Like is now known as Bueno | ||
| dr_willis | SmokeyD: there used to be 'database' type apps that could keep track of all files on specific disks, that might work. or mount each disk, a ls -R output from each one to a file. and then search the file for the filenames | 14:10 |
| SmokeyD | ActionParsnip: easier: find -name *.iso -exec isoinfo -l -i '{}' \;|grep somefilename | 14:11 |

| ActionParsnip | KebabBob: you can uncomment those parts you need if you wish, that will override HAL for those devices | 14:42 |

| anthony_ | Would anyone be able to recommend me a good wireless utility that monitors frequencies over a period of time to find out which channel would be the best to set my network to? Preferably Draft N capable | 15:33 |

| Boznoz | I have just one simple question. When im calling with somebody using skype, after about one hour i lose my mic. I have to restart my pc to make it work again. any ideas? | 15:42 |
| simard | I have to connect to a host that changed its RSA key, now ssh prevents me to connect because of its policy, how do I tell it that it's ok for this host to have its key changed ? | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ZOJO: can you get a wired connection to it, you sound like you need updates if you have just done a fresh install | 15:42 |
| sipior | simard: remove its entry in .ssh/known_hosts | 15:42 |
| Dreamglider | abhra1: power management "put display to sleep when inactive for x minutes" | 15:42 |
| emilien | can't connecting to internet . | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Boznoz: wait for it to occur then read dmesg | tail | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: wired or wireless or usb adsl modem | 15:43 |
| Boznoz | ok, thnx actionparsnip | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: iformation is useful | 15:43 |
| Psywiped | how do i tell the kernel version that im runing? | 15:43 |
| simard | sipior, it's hard to know which entry belongs to what host in there.. if ssh tells me Offending key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts:1, does that mean the first entry ? is it one-based, zero-based ? | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Boznoz: theres not much we can hugely advise with skype as it is proprietary garbage | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: uname -a | 15:44 |
| ortsvorsteher | Psywiped: uname -r | 15:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: uname -r will output ONLY the kernel version numer | 15:44 |
| sipior | simard: that's a good question, and easy to test :-) easy enough just to remove the file anyhow. | 15:44 |
| ZOJO | ActionParsnip my OS is up to date because i did it last night but now im at work so i cant plugin the internet cabel | 15:44 |
| boscop | ActionParsnip, I checked all the files that were found but none of them contained key settings. Maybe I should use another editor ;) | 15:45 |
| bbeecher | I have a mounted drive using cifs, and the local file's perms are 777, but I get a permission error when accessing specific files. Anyone have any ideas for a place to start looking? | 15:45 |
| simard | sipior, yeah gimme a moment I'll tell you :) | 15:45 |

| Jmz | Thank you erUSUL :P | 15:46 |
| Dimensions | bbeecher: what is that used for ? apparently i can't access files inside the directory via browser .. it says permission denied ... | 15:47 |
| christopher | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure exactly how to configure it? | 15:47 |
| Dramawulf | ActionParsnip: I have checked the md5 of the iso. It's a USB, freshly formatted in FAT32. | 15:47 |
| bbeecher | Dimensions: via browser? do you mean a web browser? | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Dramawulf: how fast did you burn the iso? | 15:47 |

| emilien | ActionParsnip, none are picked up ,ifconfig gets one interface eth0 but not sure howto connect , my wireless is a usb , Ethernet controller : intel corporation 82801G. (eth0 is my lan ) | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | christopher: you could try compiling alsa from source as that post says | 15:48 |
| Dramawulf | ActionParsnip: If I was using a CD, I would burn it at 2x. However, I'm using a USB stick. | 15:48 |

| christopher | ActionParsnip: ok, i'm new to compiling sources on linux | 15:49 |
| bbeecher | Dimensions: No idea how web browsers work for that - if you're trying to do this remotely you need to go through ftp and the perms would have to do with that | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | christopher: the guides are usually decent | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: you can alsouse the wired connection to download any packages / source code you will need to get the wifi working | 15:49 |

| bbeecher | Dimensions: oh through ssh? hmm | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: if you compiled a driver for the sound then it will need compiling for the NEW kernel | 15:51 |
| bbeecher | Dimensions: yeah, the sticky bit just has to do with what user the file is executed as | 15:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: then you will have to see whats making your sound work in the older kernel (use lsmod in both boots) to see what is different | 15:54 |

| Dimensions | bbeecher: phpmyadmin has root ownership i change the same for another folder but that didn't work too .. | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: add a line in /etc/network/interfaces that reads iface ath0 auto | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: that will make it come up at boot | 15:55 |

| _KaszpiR_ | i got a question, anyone used FOG (Free OpenSource Ghost)? the installation of the server is aimed at fedora/ubuntu, and i was wondering if i could try to run autoinstaller on debian instead of ubuntu, not sure though what are the differences between those distros | 16:47 |
| ikonia | Stevethe1irate: I don't think it's a problem, I think the development environment is just not setup correclty yet | 16:47 |
| ikonia | _KaszpiR_: try it see how you get on | 16:48 |
| ikonia | _KaszpiR_: update the docs with how you get on, I'm sure others would be interested to know | 16:48 |
| _KaszpiR_ | i use mainly debian but i presume installer for ubuntu would fit to debian after minor changes | 16:49 |
| oCean_ | nameless`: not sure about that. There is autologin though for gdm | 16:49 |
| ikonia | _KaszpiR_: try it | 16:49 |

| Dramawulf | XB23: Ubuntu is compiled against i386. Unless your computer is unimaginably old, you'll be fine with x86. | 17:29 |
| nameless` | napzter, but my guess is you should take a look to the documentation :] | 17:29 |
| SandGorgon | guys.. any alternative pdf viewer - I need to copy huge amounts of text and document-viewer is having trouble separating left and right hand columns | 17:29 |
| nameless` | Dramawulf, my mac is a powerpc and not that old :) | 17:30 |
| XB23 | kk | 17:30 |
| Dramawulf | nameless': Exactly. :P | 17:30 |
| XB23 | Dramawulf its weird though | 17:30 |
| XB23 | i get an error on startup saying the kernel needs features not present in the CPU pae | 17:30 |
| nameless` | XB23, which distribution ? | 17:30 |
| nameless` | XB23, you tried to compile the kernel by yourself ? | 17:30 |
| Dramawulf | SandGorgon: apvlv! Super light and with all the input quirks you know and love using Vim. ;) | 17:31 |
| XB23 | ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.iso | 17:31 |
| XB23 | no nameless` | 17:31 |
| XB23 | its just running on virtualbox | 17:31 |
| nameless` | mok | 17:31 |

| Forsakensoul | does anybody know how I can fix up the wifi drivers for a hp compaq C series notebook? | 17:31 |
| mspoula | ikonia: got it workingafter updating the firmware and Bios updated. I had to break out floppies. | 17:32 |
| sipior | XB23: how much memory have you allowed the vm to use? | 17:32 |
| Dramawulf | SandGorgon: Try sudo apt-get install apvlv. If that doesn't work, then there probably isn't. | 17:32 |
| XB23 | 256mb ram | 17:32 |
| sipior | XB23: try upping that to 512, and see if it doesn't solve the problem. | 17:32 |
| ikonia | mspoula: well done, | 17:33 |
| XB23 | k | 17:33 |
| XB23 | still doing it sipior | 17:34 |
| sipior | XB23: half a moment, i have it backwards. you're using the server kernel on a cpu that doesn't support pae. try using the desktop kernel. | 17:34 |
| mspoula | ikonia: thanks for the help. I laughed when I ran the executables from dell and it told me that i needed floppy disks. Older equipment is fun. | 17:34 |
| ikonia | mspoula: I remember issues with the 1850's so I suspected it would be the same | 17:34 |
| XB23 | but i dont want the gui | 17:34 |
| XB23 | i just want the command line version lol | 17:34 |
| natrixnatrix89 | hi guys. Does anyone know if bluez works with intrepid? Do you know a page with instructions installing? | 17:35 |

| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 17:36 |
| T0aD | do you know some software to stress hardware ? | 17:36 |
| sipior | XB23: well, you can't run the basic server install on your cpu, but you can simply uninstall all of the packages you don't want after installation. | 17:36 |
| sipior | XB23: so, install the desktop version, and then remove packages to taste. | 17:36 |
| dhruvasagar | Hi I am back | 17:36 |

| dhruvasagar | T0aD: when I press e and remove quiet, and press b it still shows the splash | 17:39 |
| T0aD | dhruvasagar, then remove quiet and splash | 17:39 |
| dhruvasagar | thewrath: ubuntu finishes the splash progress bar, shows the waiting cursor, mouse moves, but nothing further happens, I am not reaching the login screen | 17:39 |
| T0aD | like i said | 17:39 |
| torkel_ | is there any gnome application available for using my bluetooth phone from the desktop? (calling from desktop etc) | 17:39 |
| dhruvasagar | T0aD: as I said I removed it and tried but it still shows the splash and when I return the quiet option is still there | 17:40 |

| dhruvasagar | T0aD: I tried 3 times, but :( | 17:41 |

| thewrath | what does a kernal panic mean | 18:13 |
| Sjord | thewrath: That means the kernel crashes. | 18:13 |
| Sjord | thewrath: The kernel is the core of the operating system. If it panics, it does not know what to do anymore. | 18:14 |
| tinjaw | re my issue, looks like /etc/udev/rules.d is the place to assign eth* | 18:14 |

| bugmanx2001 | and i was almost sure that this was the right channel.. | 19:49 |
| Cpudan80 | jasballzer: You have to compile it | 19:49 |
| jasballzer | what commands? make clean? | 19:50 |
| mushy | i dont know how to find out, can anyone tell me if SYBA SD-ATA133R PCI IDE Controller Card will work with ubuntu 8.10 | 19:50 |
| Cpudan80 | jasballzer: Just an FYI, the new VMware is very slow and very broken, VirtualBox is a much better bet | 19:50 |
| mushy | the page for it only mentions windows | 19:50 |
| Time`s_Witness | any idea why i lost my sound ? I installed something related with pulses and i changed alot of things and i switched back some of the things in volume control, back to ALSA-not-working stuff | 19:50 |
| jasballzer | hmmm, but virtualbox doesnt run win 7 for me or mac leo | 19:50 |
| Time`s_Witness | and now | 19:50 |
| Time`s_Witness | i have no sound. | 19:50 |
| Cpudan80 | jasballzer: I dont remember the commands, see the instructions | 19:50 |
| Lint02 | usually, ./configure shall tell if you missing something required | 19:50 |
| jasballzer | when i try connecting to my ip address i get connection refused | 19:50 |
| twolane | Lint02: try this for (( i=1; i<10; i++ )); do mkdir dir$i; done | 19:50 |

| lupine_85 | cpudan80, maybe 5 mins so far | 19:51 |
| twolane | Lint02: the command is: for (( i=1; i<10; i++ )); do mkdir dir$i; done | 19:51 |

| Cpudan80 | no...? | 19:55 |
| Cpudan80 | why would you need to do that? | 19:55 |
| Lint02 | no, just free ~6 GB and go :) | 19:55 |

| Cpudan80 | what? | 19:59 |
| jasballzer | how do you do vsftpd. I think i am live | 19:59 |

| deltron | 9.04? | 20:25 |
| xrandallx | you mean 9.04 adnc | 20:26 |

| Slart | sjzzalx: ubunut is kind of "sudo" oriented.. why not try a distro that is more.. hands on | 21:04 |
| fliptop | dave-ubuntu: what are you trying to do that's causing the error? | 21:05 |
| guntbert | sjzzalx: only those users who are in the admin group can sudo... | 21:05 |
| Xisdibik | Is there a special channel for Ubuntu 9.04 or does here work too? | 21:05 |

| Fenix|work | guntbert: I am there. :) | 21:06 |
| jophish | If I made a backup of my home folder, that shoudl take with it all my saved themes, preferences. everything right? | 21:06 |
| guntbert | sjzzalx: and gksu *should* work just like gksudo - just another name (if I recall correctly) | 21:06 |
| zorlan | yes jophish | 21:06 |
| jophish | also, how hard is it to create a list of all installed packages, to install on another computer at a later date? | 21:07 |
| zleap | jophish, make sure you have included any hidden files, | 21:07 |
| jophish | of course | 21:07 |
| wolter | Slart, let me post the error i get | 21:07 |
| joeathome | can someone help me please | 21:07 |
| guntbert | Fenix|work: I'm not :-), if thats what you mean, I don't know much about vsftpd | 21:07 |
| fliptop | dave-ubuntu: gimme a sec here..... | 21:07 |
| zleap | dpkg --set-selections < file.txt | 21:07 |
| joeathome | when i boot ubuntu it just goes to terminal | 21:07 |
| zorlan | zleap, don't you mean > | 21:08 |
| zorlan | dpkg --get-selections > installed.txt | 21:08 |
| joeathome | i type in startx and it says fatal server error no screens found | 21:08 |
| zleap | yes | 21:08 |
| rww | zorlan: #ubuntu-offtopic is mch more appreciative of Hitchiker's Guide quotes than #ubuntu :P | 21:08 |
| zorlan | cheers rww | 21:08 |
| zleap | then the 2nd will read in the text file and put into set selections | 21:08 |
| fliptop | dave-ubuntu: are you trying to generate a key at the command line? | 21:08 |

| Geek`N`Proud | fliptop: burn failures? | 21:10 |
| dave-ubuntu | it used to work... , i renstalled the package becuase i got this error in evolution Could not create message. | 21:10 |
| dave-ubuntu | Because "Failed to execute gpg: Broken pipe", you may need to select different mail options. | 21:10 |
| zleap | you could use passwords and encryption | 21:11 |
| zleap | for gpg | 21:11 |
| fliptop | Geek`N`Proud: on fedora 10, k3b hangs when starting. on ubuntu, i can't burn an .iso. i was able t burn the iso from command line using cdrecord, though | 21:12 |
| fliptop | dave-ubuntu: here's a tip - if you're trying to talk to someone specific, prefix your statement with their username and a colon | 21:12 |
| Geek`N`Proud | fliptop: what error do you get when you go to burn? | 21:12 |
| fliptop | Geek`N`Proud: it doesn't give an error in the gui, it just locks up my desktop and i have to reboot. i didn't try using k3b from the command line, should i? | 21:13 |
| Geek`N`Proud | fliptop: you could do | 21:13 |

| fliptop | MUSEK: then click the checkbox, choose install, and your network manager gui will be installed | 21:40 |
| MUSEK | It's not even found, fliptop. | 21:40 |
| bromic94 | so ikonia i should be in this directory to do everything then? | 21:40 |
| bromic94 | /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/build/hybrid_wl | 21:40 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: hang on a sec... | 21:41 |
| MUSEK | network-manager is installed, though..? | 21:41 |
| MUSEK | Alright. | 21:41 |
| bluenzo | so, there are app repositories or something right? how does that work :| | 21:41 |
| bromic94 | ikonia: ? | 21:41 |
| deltron | can you create a custom preinstalled image and deploy it with ubuntu like you would windows? | 21:42 |
| Goldfisch | Anybody know how to find the corresponding device file for a given sound card? I see /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 (I have two sound cards), but I don't know how to figure out which is which. | 21:42 |

| bluenzo | i changed it to the right onee | 21:43 |
| bluenzo | worked for me :S | 21:43 |
| bluenzo | ya that guntbert | 21:43 |
| bluenzo | thats a cool thing, however it works, guntbert | 21:43 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: hrm, weird, i can't seem to find gnome-network-admin either, still looking into it | 21:43 |
| MUSEK | lol | 21:43 |
| guntbert | bluenzo: read that please: 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 | 21:43 |
| MUSEK | Well, I thought I was really stupid when I saw the help page refer to something non-existent | 21:44 |
| MUSEK | So I looked everywhere and found nothing. | 21:44 |
| bromic94 | ikonia: if you could me know through a pm or in here greatly apporeicated | 21:44 |
| bluenzo | ty guntbert | 21:44 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: looks like it is called network-manager-gnome. see if you have that one installed | 21:44 |
| guntbert | bluenzo: np :) | 21:44 |
| Goldfisch | I have two sound cards, one for input from my satellite box, one for playback to the TV set. Anybody know how to figure out where the input device file is? Like /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp1? | 21:45 |
| MUSEK | fliptop: Its only options are "Mark for removal/complete removal" so I guess so. =\ | 21:45 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: ok then, you need to see if it's available on your system menu. right-click the system menu, choose 'edit menus' | 21:46 |
| bluenzo | guntbert, | 21:46 |
| bluenzo | guntbert, what about 3rd party software? | 21:46 |
| bluenzo | repositories | 21:46 |
| bluenzo | do u trust them? | 21:46 |
| MUSEK | System menu? | 21:46 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: navigate to the administration menu, and see if the checkbox for network manager is unchecked. if it is, check it. | 21:46 |
| guntbert | !enter | bluenzo | 21:47 |
| ubottu | bluenzo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:47 |
| MUSEK | Ah | 21:47 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: at the bottom left, you should have 3 menus, applications, places and system | 21:47 |
| bluenzo | sorry guntbert | 21:47 |
| hil | thats why he is called fliptop, hrhr | 21:47 |
| MUSEK | fliptop, I still cannot seem to find it. Is it System => Preferences => Main Menu? | 21:48 |
| Dreamglider | can anyone help me setup USB dual boot , i'd like to dual boot Ubuntu and System Rescue CD and possible some other distro | 21:48 |
| guntbert | bluenzo: no need to be sorry (was just a hint to make life easier for all of us)- as for 3rd party repos: I don't trust them generally, but if I "need" something I add the repo to my sources | 21:48 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: right-click on the word 'system' | 21:49 |

| fliptop | MUSEK: do you have a choice that says 'edit menus'? | 21:51 |
| Zedde | I'll check that one out | 21:51 |
| guntbert | bluenzo: look at the link I sent you, there different kinds of repos, but *most* are free (as in free speech) | 21:51 |
| fliptop | hil: no probs, just thought i missed something. | 21:51 |
| MUSEK | Yes, and I see no Network or Network Manager | 21:51 |
| eseven73_ | Zedde: well vim is text based though, didnt know you wanted a graphical one :P | 21:52 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: i'm sorry, i misunderstood what you had said. if you scroll down in the left-hand pane, and highlight administration, does it show up on the right-hand side? | 21:52 |
| Zedde | eseven73_: as longs it\s easy to work with | 21:52 |
| eseven73_ | easy once you spend a few hours with it ;P | 21:52 |
| eseven73_ | lol | 21:53 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: excuse me, does 'network' show up on the right? | 21:53 |
| MUSEK | No, nothing is unchecked. | 21:53 |

| MUSEK | bluezno: The "yet" was inferred to mean that I will definitely be screwed later on, however. :+ | 21:57 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: ok, at this point i'd try (using synaptic) to uninstall the app, then reinstall it. | 21:57 |
| MUSEK | So, which option would I click? Remove or remove completely? | 21:57 |
| fliptop | MUSEK: remove completely. | 21:58 |
| MUSEK | network-gnome, correct? | 21:58 |

| bear24rw | frostburn: OCZ core series its discontinued read speed is like 80 but when you read and write at same time it bottle necks really bad idk write speed offhand | 22:17 |
| emilien | Dreamglider, should have said , its very weird .. as if ubuntu has a grudge against me =/ | 22:17 |
| MUSEK | Is it possible that I'm missing a driver or something? And if so, is it possible that I could download said driver onto a thumbdrive and transfer it over to the laptop? :\ | 22:17 |
| emilien | Dreamglider, else it is witch craft... | 22:18 |
| oCean_ | smartycheetah: don't advertise in this channel | 22:18 |
| awalters_ | ubuntu 32, it shows up in bios, but not in dmidecode | 22:18 |
| Dreamglider | emilien: did you log out and back in after changing it ? | 22:18 |
| bear24rw | musek: do you have an ethernet port? | 22:18 |
| MUSEK | On the modem? | 22:18 |
| PhotoJim | awalters_: how much RAM does your system have? 32-bit kernels have RAM limits, unless you kludge around them. | 22:18 |
| awalters_ | i have two sticks a 512 pc100 and a 128 pc100 | 22:18 |
| PhotoJim | awalters_: oh, you're way below the RAM limits. that's not your problem. starts affecting you at something over 3 gigs. | 22:18 |
| emilien | Dreamglider, yes. | 22:19 |
| awalters_ | they show up in dcidecode as 256 and 128, sorry that second one is a 256 | 22:19 |
| Dreamglider | 32bit has 4gb addressing limit | 22:19 |
| B419kid | Geek'N'Proud: are you still there? | 22:19 |
| awalters_ | point being they each show up as half | 22:19 |
| canuck1 | where is a good place to look for nice ubuntu themes? | 22:19 |
| emilien | how can i change key board lay out to "fr" , edited xorg.conf but ubuntu is ignoring it ... | 22:19 |
| canuck1 | I really want to tweak out this desktop | 22:19 |
| PhotoJim | awalters_: does your motherboard support 512M sticks? if it does, is the stick double-sided or single, and does your motherboard require double-? | 22:19 |
| oCean_ | !themes > canuck1 | 22:19 |
| ubottu | canuck1, please see my private message | 22:19 |
| canuck1 | thank you :) | 22:19 |
| PhotoJim | awalters_: oh, if both show as half, that's not likely your problem then. | 22:19 |
| awalters_ | i had read something about that and was wondering | 22:19 |
| awalters_ | i believe it does support double sided as it shows up in the bios, but im not sure how to check | 22:20 |
| ironfoot_495 | Hi Can someone instruction on how to install xdebug on ubuntu 8.10 | 22:20 |
| Dreamglider | emilien: did you try to reboot ? | 22:20 |
| canuck1 | I LOVE Ubuntu! | 22:20 |
| PhotoJim | awalters_: you'll have to look up your motherboard model number, and do some googling to find the manual. but it's not uncommon for systems to require lower-density chips than some sticks of RAM use. I had a PII that worked with double-sided 256M PC133 sticks, but not single-sided. | 22:20 |
| troubled | is this wubi guy in here that was just on FLOSS weekly? if so, grats :) | 22:21 |
| PhotoJim | awalters_: single-sided worked, but only gave 128M. | 22:21 |

| B419kid | i asked a while ago today but i had to go so: will a usb mouse work on a ubuntu computer (i have had complications with other usb devices- headset) | 22:25 |
| awalters_ | PhotoJim: any idea on how to find out what the motherboard is, and if it shows up in the BIOS, shouldnt the kernel see it | 22:25 |
| skyraven | I even looked on some forums for settings for my monitor (thinking the card tries to display something the monitor can't)..but still no luck | 22:25 |
| skyraven | so far it sucks for me :( | 22:25 |
| aerkn | B419kid, most likely yes | 22:25 |
| skyraven | can you help ? | 22:25 |
| rww | B419kid: It should. I use one and it works fine =/ | 22:25 |

| Zedde | hil: it can't be installed ? | 22:26 |
| rww | billyk: Xorg autodetects by default now. Just add the sections and options you need to override and it'll respect that. | 22:26 |
| B419kid | rww: if i test a usb mouse does that mean if i go buy another usb mouse it will work? | 22:26 |

| rww | B419kid: Assuming they're both normal, HID-compliant mice, yes. | 22:26 |
| billyk | mun: easiest way is in your bios | 22:27 |
| B419kid | rww: what does hid-compliant mean? | 22:27 |
| billyk | human interface device (usb device class) | 22:27 |
| ndshacker | mouse, keyboard | 22:27 |
| oCean_ | mun: "sudo lshw -C memory" | 22:27 |

| ndshacker | i end up reverting to my backup | 22:29 |
| billyk | ndshacker: sure it's not your router? | 22:29 |
| ndshacker | then everything works fine for a few more days | 22:29 |
| billyk | ndshacker: lots of cheap routers need to be power cycled a lot | 22:29 |
| rww | B419kid: dunno. I just get mice from the major brands: Microsoft, Logitech, etc., and they've always worked fine. | 22:29 |

| B419kid | rww: with extra buttons or..? | 22:29 |
| ndshacker | I am on wireless and i think it may be my card as itseems to overheat, or it might be a conflict betwween my internal networking card and my external one. | 22:30 |

| arthur | how do i tell if my laptop is 32 or 64 bit | 22:42 |
| rww | arthur: do you mean that you have Ubuntu installed and want to know if it's 32-bit or 64-bit, or that you have a computer that you want to install Ubuntu on and need to find out whether it supports 64-bit? | 22:42 |
| PhotoJim | arthur: do you know what CPU it has? | 22:42 |
| oCean_ | PaperTiger: This is ubuntu support, and sure people might be multi-skilled, but then they are often in several channels. Please stay on topic here. | 22:42 |
| hil | arthur: if u dont know and u have less than 4gb ram, use 32bit | 22:43 |
| arthur | it has ubuntu on it and i want to install the latest and not sure if its 32 or 64 bit | 22:43 |
| B419kid | bachgenbach: Well you cannot install over the disc you need to create a seperate partion before trying to install: the partion tool on ubuntu live can only select partions. | 22:43 |
| Spuddy345 | ok, so i have a dual boot Suse 10.0 and win XP machine. i want to dump suse 10.0 and install Ubuntu 8.10 any ideas how (i have alrealy saved any personal files so can dispose of suse) | 22:44 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: Sorry. Will go else where, just thought I'd ask (quickly) where I'd had good, reliable help beforehand. Again, I appologize. | 22:44 |
| rww | arthur: if it has Ubuntu on it, you can do "uname -a" in the terminal. If the output has "x86_64" in it, you have 64-bit. If it has i686 or something similar, you have 32-bit. | 22:44 |
| Bodsda__ | Hi, I want to upgrade from hardy to intrepid, I already hapen to have an intrepid iso so can i upgrade using that rather then downloading all the packages through update-manager -d? | 22:44 |
| rww | arthur: You can upgrade from earlier versions of Ubuntu to newer ones, though | 22:44 |
| arthur | ty | 22:44 |
| PhotoJim | arthur: and if you're not sure what kind of CPU you have, you can open a shell and type: cat /proc/cpuinfo ... and it will tell you what CPU you have. | 22:44 |
| ndshacker | my backgroun appers to be broken | 22:44 |
| bachgenbach | so there is no way on installing ubuntu on a partition of the drive, without overwriting all on the entire drive. | 22:44 |
| oCean_ | arthur: run "sudo lshw -C cpu" to show your cpu characteristics. Find the line where it says "width: " | 22:44 |
| rww | Bodsda__: Is it an alternate CD or a desktop live CD? | 22:44 |
| ndshacker | the pixels in one line are all shifted over | 22:44 |
| PhotoJim | arthur: but if you just upgrade from what you have, it will keep you in the same 32- or 64-bit family. | 22:44 |
| ndshacker | but nothing else gets shifted if its on it | 22:45 |
| oCean_ | PaperTiger: thx for understanding, and for any Ubuntu question, you're more than welcome :) | 22:45 |
| ndshacker | so its not the monitor | 22:45 |
| B419kid | Bodsda__: if you update constantly and don't have updates left you are on intrepid... you don't have to reinstall | 22:45 |

| rww | B419kid: or from one release to another in general, actually | 22:45 |
| oCean_ | arthur: with the mentioned command, you can find the correct answer | 22:45 |

| oCean_ | PaperTiger: you'll still have the possibility to go to win, if you really need it, but default booting to Linux will make you more experienced, and less in need of the MS os :-) | 22:47 |
| Bodsda__ | B419kid: i dont think thtas true, im still using hardy repo's and normal apt-get update/upgrade will not change your 'sitribution' | 22:47 |

| ShoshanaRenee | Ubuntu freezes upon startup more than it starts successfully, can anyone help me? | 22:47 |
| rww | B419kid: The way apt works, it'll only update you within the same version. So you can have the most up-to-date version of Hardy, but you'll still be on Hardy, not Intrepid (which will have newer stuff). There's a separate procedure for upgrading from one to another. | 22:47 |

| Spuddy345 | is it possible to over write an existing linux distro on a dual lin/win dual boot? | 22:48 |
| PhotoJim | oCean_: you can run them under wine. there can be a performance hit versus running natively under Windows, but it works with a lot of stuff. | 22:48 |
| Bodsda__ | Jeruvy: maybe slightly, but if i was on intrepid, and using apt-get update/upgrade I am pretty sure i would still be on intrepid not jaunty | 22:48 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: Some do. Is there any other emulation software for Windows programmes? | 22:48 |
| PhotoJim | Spuddy345: Absolutely possible, yes. Just tell it to install on the same partition where Linux is currently installed. | 22:49 |
| Jeruvy | Bodsda__: intrepid is not a LTS release | 22:49 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: Because I know not all Windows games work when running on WINE. | 22:49 |
| rww | Spuddy345: as in, wipe out the existing Linux distro and put Ubuntu in its place? Yes, I've done it before. Use Manual partitioning during the installation and select the partitions with the current Linux install on them for Ubuntu to use. | 22:49 |

| ndshacker | guys, I have an issue, my background o one line is off, but windows dont get the same problem, so its not the monitor | 22:50 |
| rww | Bodsda__: no, it won't. | 22:50 |
| Spuddy345 | instead i got a DR-DOS spp thingy | 22:50 |
| Jeruvy | Bodsda__: no | 22:50 |
| PhotoJim | Spuddy345: is your system set to boot off CD? it should work. | 22:50 |
| pHreaksYcle | ndshacker: explain. | 22:50 |
| oCean_ | PaperTiger: but again, on gaming.. that's not my topic :/ .. but feel free to ask the channel, as there are many gamers amongst us :-) | 22:50 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: And they run on Linux too? As long as the virtual machine has full graphics support and a storable drive (for game installations and saves) that'll be fine | 22:50 |
| Spuddy345 | and, yes, i'm trying to over write an old SuSE verson with ubuntu | 22:50 |
| ndshacker | pHryeascycle: i jsut did | 22:50 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: But you seem to know what you're talking about :) | 22:51 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: But I shall ask too | 22:51 |
| Spuddy345 | photo, it should do, i've no idea why it isn't working | 22:51 |
| pHreaksYcle | ndshacker: my background is a line off. wtf does this mean? it's a little too high or too low? | 22:51 |
| pHreaksYcle | ndshacker: or theirs a lie missing in the middle?? | 22:51 |
| ndshacker | I have a line running horizontaly that shifts the pixels, giving my background a nice little knife cut across the screen | 22:51 |
| bun-bun | hi, if i am going to install the sun-java jre and jdk should i first remove the default java packages installed by ubuntu? | 22:51 |
| ShoshanaRenee | Durlon? | 22:51 |
| PhotoJim | Spuddy345: try booting off a different bootable CD to see if it works. if yes, your Ubuntu CD is weird. if not, you need to figure out how to get your system to boot off CD. | 22:51 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: Also, would you suggest running a RAID system at all? | 22:52 |
| The_Joe_ | I have a Python script I would like to run every 15 minutes - what's the easiest way to do this? | 22:52 |
| ndshacker | it shifts the pixels so that i cant use custom backgrounds, but windows are unnaffected | 22:52 |
| B419kid | bachgenbach: did you stil need help with that? | 22:52 |
| rww | bun-bun: You can. They can co-exist, though. java uses Debian's alternatives system to select which JRE/JDK to use. | 22:52 |
| PhotoJim | The_Joe_: crontab | 22:52 |
| PaperTiger | oCean_: Basically meaning, is it really worth it? | 22:52 |
| bluenzo | hmm, im trying to watch south park full length episodes but they wont load | 22:52 |
| rww | !cron | The_Joe_ | 22:52 |
| ubottu | The_Joe_: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 22:52 |

| wrektjet | (another theme related q: where is the folder for desktop images?) | 22:53 |
| ndshacker | i had just cleaned my screen when i noticed, but since it isnt the monitor since only the background is affected | 22:53 |
| rww | wrektjet: /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/ , I think. | 22:53 |
| Spuddy345 | ok thanks, i'm going to try again | 22:53 |
| rww | wrektjet: that's what gnome-backgrounds uses, anyway. Dunno if themes have a different one. | 22:54 |
| B419kid | anyone know any theme sites for ubuntu? | 22:54 |

| MaT-dg | PhotoJim: think it worked, thx | 22:56 |
| bachgenbach | Steam games, that what I wanted to do. | 22:57 |
| bachgenbach | From memory you have a few options to acheive this with | 22:57 |
| bachgenbach | one being wine | 22:57 |
| PhotoJim | MaT-dg: chmod is a really powerful command. well worth reading the man page. | 22:57 |
| MaT-dg | PaperTiger: I played half life 2 once under wine | 22:57 |
| bachgenbach | the other running XP enviroment under linux and loading the game from there. | 22:57 |
| bluenzo | Can anyone help me? I cant seem to watch south park full episodes on their site, it looks to be flash player, but i already have that installed, youtube works | 22:57 |
| PaperTiger | MaT-dg: Any other similar games? TF2, CS:S? | 22:58 |
| bachgenbach | can't be an issue with flash then if YouTube works | 22:58 |
| ShoshanaRenee | Help! Ubuntu locks up on startuP! | 22:58 |
| poboy975 | hi shooshy ity me | 22:58 |

| twolane | ShoshanaRenee: locks on startup? can you describe where upon startup? | 23:00 |

| twolane | bluenzo: flash is shockwave as far as I know | 23:01 |

| bachgenbach | oCean_: kwl | 23:02 |
| oCean_ | natrixnatrix89: the ~ means your homedirectory | 23:02 |
| mezy | oCean_: well, i dont think so | 23:03 |
| rww | twolane, bluenzo: Shockwave and Flash are two different things. SouthParkStudios uses Flash, I'm 90% sure. Shockwave is an older, not really used much, thing that doesn't work on Linux afaik. | 23:03 |
| twolane | ShoshanaRenee: reading some logs is best, boot into recovery mode and a stable console then read /var/log/syslog dmesg and others. | 23:03 |
| rww | ("Flash" used to be branded "Shockwave Flash" back in the day, some people still call it that) | 23:03 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| oCean_ | mezy: well, if the filesystem is in mtab, it should actually be mounted. Or something went wrong | 23:04 |
| twolane | rww: ok, I thought there was a corporate relation betweenthe two if not some code itself. | 23:04 |
| ShoshanaRenee | durlon: did you get that? | 23:05 |
| mezy | oCean_: im pretty sure something went wrong | 23:05 |
| hil | Yah, Shockwave was built with Macromedia Director, now Adobe too, still exists | 23:05 |
| bachgenbach | mezy: Have you tried unwounting it / | 23:05 |
| rww | twolane: Macromedia developed Shockwave. A third party company developed Flash under another name and sold it to Macromedia, who rebranded it Shockwave Flash. Macromedia got bought by Adobe. | 23:05 |
| poboy975 | yeah, twolane where or how do you read dmesg? | 23:05 |
| oCean_ | mezy: and why is that | 23:05 |
| ReggyLove | i tried to enable compiz but the pc crashed, now when i reboot i cannot get gnome to run, i get to the loginscreen enter my name/pswd and enter, then the pc goes to terminal mode and stops | 23:06 |

| dan457 | bluenzo, the southpark site works perfectly here. I am using 9.04 though.... | 23:06 |
| twolane | poboy975: in a terminal or console type dmesg, to scroll it type dmesg | less | 23:06 |
| lstarnes | dan457: if you're using 9.04, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 23:07 |
| mezy | bachgenbach: /dev/sda2 not found | 23:07 |
| chimp_ | Sometimes something breaks my audio, and I find only a reboot will fix it, ive tried init.d/alsa-utils restart and pulseaudio restart but neither fixes the problem. Any suggestions? | 23:07 |
| bachgenbach | mezy: oCean is more qualified for this but since it said it was already mounted it was a logical step to see if you could unwountt | 23:07 |
| bachgenbach | oCean_: would it be worth rebooting and then seeing if it works again. ? | 23:07 |
| oCean_ | mezy: ok. First step: type "mount" on commandline to see all partitions currently mounted | 23:07 |
| oCean_ | bachgenbach: we'll try some debug first :) | 23:08 |
| poboy975 | twolane: ok, is there anything in particualr to look for? | 23:08 |

| firehawk161 | B419kid: i have got some code i need to add to a file but i am not sure how to do it :-( | 23:24 |
| euxneks | rww, would there be an interpreter for bash or would I have to install cygwin in order to get that functionality> | 23:24 |
| rww | roffle: the "ifconfig" command shows information about active interfaces. Is that what you need? | 23:24 |
| B419kid | ReggyLove: do you know where to get the aurora gtk and or murrine engine for themeing- theme wont work without it | 23:24 |
| rww | euxneks: I'm not sure, but suspect you'd need cygwin. Try #bash or ##windows, they might know. | 23:25 |

| hacker07 | I need some help when I was trying to install ubuntu 9.04 alpha 6 i was getting a hard drive error | 23:28 |
| perillux | twolane: are you using Intrepid 8.10?? | 23:28 |
| hacker07 | who? | 23:28 |
| hacker07 | me | 23:28 |
| perillux | hacker07: no twolane | 23:28 |
| twolane | perillux: not at the moment, let me try on that one, sec | 23:28 |
| hacker07 | oh | 23:28 |
| perillux | hacker07: is 9.06 hardy heron? | 23:28 |
| hacker07 | no | 23:29 |
| perillux | hacker07: gutsy? | 23:29 |
| hacker07 | no | 23:29 |
| oCean_ | perillux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames | 23:29 |
| rww | perillux: 9.04 is Jaunty, the current development release due to be released in April | 23:29 |
| Iceman_B^Ltop | twolane: ipv6 is too l33t for me still :/ | 23:29 |
| rww | hacker07: 9.04 support is in #ubuntu+1, not here. | 23:29 |
| hacker07 | okay sorry | 23:29 |
| webbi | hello | 23:29 |
| rww | hacker07: no problem, it's a common mistake :) | 23:30 |
| perillux | oh right lol, jaunty | 23:30 |
| webbi | anybody know which app to use if i want to open a new gdm or kdm session from my current session? | 23:30 |
| wrektjet | (small q: im trying to use xman to get some commands.. hoxwever there are no scrollbars in the display directory. any ideas?) | 23:30 |
| twolane | perillux: yes I got the errors you did scanning microsoft. | 23:30 |
| perillux | twolane: ok thanks, btw, what version of ubuntu did it work on for you? | 23:31 |
| Titan8990 | euxneks, yes, windows doesn't have the interpreters by default but python, ruby, and perl all work in windows if installed | 23:31 |
| twolane | perillux: hardy | 23:31 |
| rww | perillux: Looks like the nmap thing hasn't been fixed yet. There's a possible Debian patch waiting for a maintainer fix, and it might be fixed in Jaunty, but it doesn't seem there's a working Intrepid version yet. | 23:31 |
| mchan | hi | 23:32 |
| rww | perillux: You could always download it from the site and compile it from source if you're comfortable with that, but that's a messy solution :/ | 23:32 |
| Titan8990 | euxneks, but I guess I could have shortened that and said +1 to rww :) | 23:32 |
| mchan | i've just added a slave hdd but now the splashscreen upon bootup drops out after 10s. does anyone know how to fix it? | 23:32 |

| Tyrath | hi, for some strange reason after I did the last xorg, xserver update my comp has been running extremely slow. has anyone had the same problem? | 23:33 |

| Tyrath | actually | 23:34 |
| roffle | 5gbfree? | 23:34 |
| JakeOne | Any reason why I can't launch nautilus from the command prompt? Gives me a "Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported" error. I need a graphical file manager that I can run under root... | 23:34 |
| Tyrath | it might have been case I ran runsvr32 on a dll under wine | 23:34 |
| rww | JakeOne: what command are you using to launch it? | 23:34 |
| perillux | rww: I'm not so comfortable with installing programs that already exist in the repositories. I had a bad experience with that when I first started using ubuntu. | 23:34 |
| Tyrath | roffle: i'm not sure. when I run vmstat/free all it gives me is blocks... | 23:34 |
| mchan | i've just added a slave hdd but now the splashscreen upon bootup drops out after 10s. it drops out and shows "Reading files need to boot..." does anyone know how to fix it? | 23:34 |
| istvan | ok, so I was here earlier saying that 64 bit ubuntu was not seeing my drive (the installer cd) but 32 bit was. I have the seagate 7200.11 (1.5 tb drive) - what is the solution? | 23:35 |
| rww | perillux: Yeah, that's an understandable attitude. I try not to do it myself. Only reason I suggested it was that I've compiled nmap before (on OS X) and it has relatively-few dependencies. Let me go check if Jaunty's nmap works. | 23:35 |
| istvan | fcn: js in not server side, so any host will work. | 23:35 |
| perillux | rww: that would be great, thanks | 23:35 |
| twolane | perillux: not using repositories practically defeats the whole dependancy hell purpose of any distribution, especially ubuntu. | 23:36 |
| Tyrath | roffle: it could be due to the fact i keep loading up ies4linux ie6 - if there's a process conflict it could be eating my resources like crazy | 23:36 |
| genii | istvan: Find what drivr the 32bit is using by probing through results of lsmod, then load the same driver under the 64bit | 23:36 |
| pyro2927 | can anyone help me get the nvidia drivers working on a 32-bit 8.10? | 23:36 |
| fcn | istvan, some free maintainers just doesn't allow js codes | 23:36 |
| Tyrath | but wine has had several updates in recent months... | 23:36 |
| Tyrath | so seems bizarre | 23:36 |
| istvan | fcn: if you mean .js files just include the js in the html | 23:36 |
| istvan | genii: so I should run lsmod and that driver will be in synaptic or apt-get? | 23:37 |
| twolane | istvan: modules are in your kernel already | 23:38 |
| pyro2927 | i removed the restricted modules, commmented out 'type1' in the xorg.conf | 23:38 |
| istvan | twolane: but the drive only is recognised in gparted in the 32 bit cd | 23:38 |
| pyro2927 | none of that is working | 23:38 |
| Tyrath | ok, when i run free -g (didn't realise it had that option), it says I have no free gigs. but I don't remember installing anything that big - i store all my music, etc on an external HD | 23:38 |
| istvan | twolane: so from what i gather the difference would be the driver | 23:39 |
| rww | perillux: erk. I got a different error from you, and it still didn't work. | 23:39 |
| genii | istvan: lsmod will show you the drivers in use. So compare the two lists between 32 and 64 bits. Note what driver is being loaded in the 32 which has to do with your IDE/SATA/SCSI controller chipset. Then in the 64 bit, use modprobe to load the same driver | 23:39 |
| mib_nxdzdv | what is the best free cpanel style program | 23:39 |
| nabs | i have cups installed, using the localhost interface i am able to send print outs, but when i want to print from another computer it does not print it say network busy can some one help me with cupsd.conf | 23:39 |
| Tyrath | is there anything that gives me a run down what is taking up the space on my system? | 23:39 |
| rww | perillux: hang on a couple of minutes and I'll throw some more tests and see what's going on. | 23:39 |
| nightrid3r | mib_nxdzdv: ispconfig | 23:39 |
| istvan | genii: modprobe? is that a terminal command? | 23:39 |
| genii | istvan: Yes, as is lsmod | 23:39 |
| mib_nxdzdv | ispconfig? | 23:39 |
| rww | Tyrath: some people like Applications > Accessories > Disk Use Analyzer | 23:40 |
| mib_nxdzdv | Ok i guess i'll try | 23:40 |
| istvan | ok, thanks! | 23:40 |
| twolane | istvan: whoa, i haven't seen what you've posted, scrolling for your problem now. | 23:40 |
| mib_nxdzdv | but i cant get the ispconfig demo on their site to work | 23:40 |
| Tyrath | rww, you can't give me a command line way in? like honestly, the GUI is slow and I'm not willing to wait for Disk Usage Analyser to load up if I can avoid it | 23:40 |
| twolane | istvan: modprobe is indeed a terminal cmd. | 23:40 |
| mr_daniel | how to set a MTU value permanently on ubuntu 8.10? 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1492' works perfeclty, but after a reboot I need to type in the command again | 23:41 |

| mib_nxdzdv | wait i can have multiple cpanels installed right? | 23:41 |
| Tyrath | rww: thanks | 23:41 |
| mib_nxdzdv | Because EHCP looks nice. | 23:41 |
| nightrid3r | mib_nxdzdv: no they will interfere with eachother | 23:41 |
| genii | istvan: You could boot to 32bit, pastebin the results of lsmod and write down the pastebin address for it. Then boot to 64bit and pastebin the lsmod results of that. Then you can compare the two | 23:41 |
| mib_nxdzdv | nightrid3r Really.. | 23:41 |
| mib_nxdzdv | Hmm. | 23:41 |
| fcn | thanks a lot. i used googlepages. see you soon. | 23:43 |
