| Mean_Admin | actually, not even any user, I wouldn't mind if the script had a box pop-up asking for the sudo password | 00:36 |

| marek__ | hi is there any CLI editor with find & replace function? | 00:46 |
| macd_ | marek__, nano, pico, vi... | 00:46 |
| disregardthat | I can't get X to recognize my mouse or keyboard. This is probably a HAL problem, owing to how X devices are configured nowadays. I'm on a Dell Inspiron E1505N, pastebin won't work, can anyone help? | 00:46 |
| vigo | ubuntux782: you can look in the Synaptic Package Manager and find the driver for your card, or use a fglrx. | 00:46 |
| marek__ | nano has onyl search? macd_ ? | 00:46 |
| durt | marek__, almost all of them, emacs, vim etc. | 00:46 |
| glitchd | does anyone use arch? | 00:46 |
| Hobz | cat | grep | awk | 00:46 |
| Shadow_X | what blank file triggers an fsck upon boot? | 00:46 |
| Ropechoborra | marek__, almost everyone have them i think | 00:46 |
| Raylz | glitchd: aye | 00:46 |
| devn | need help! I installed ubuntu 6.06 onto imac g3 it starts up and i can log in then it goes black screen | 00:46 |
| ubuntux782 | i do | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | devn: Ubuntu 6.06 is nearly not suppourted anymore | 00:47 |
| glitchd | raylz, u think u could help me figure this out? | 00:47 |
| Raylz | glitchd: dunno, i could try :) | 00:47 |
| glitchd | i have arch on my computer with a 15 inch monitor | 00:47 |
| macd_ | marek__, crtl+r is for replace after you find. | 00:47 |
| devn | yes but i have an old world imac g3 so thats why i use 6.06 | 00:47 |
| VoodooDance | howdy all | 00:47 |
| glitchd | i jus got a 42 inch lch 1080 tv | 00:47 |
| VoodooDance | How difficult is it to setup dual boot for an existing Ubuntu installation with a new second hard drive? | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | devn: well 8.04 would probably run as well. | 00:47 |
| ubuntux782 | i did but it is not there because video card is old version | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | !mac | devn | 00:48 |
| ubottu | devn: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | no good uhmmm | 00:48 |
| glitchd | raylz, how can i make the tv recognize the computer signal? | 00:48 |
| disregardthat | I can't get X to recognize my mouse or keyboard. This is probably a HAL problem, owing to how X devices are configured nowadays. I'm on a Dell Inspiron E1505N, pastebin won't work, can anyone help? | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | devn: ok I can't really help anyway, since I don't have a Mac. sounds like to do with xorg your issue or something like that, well if Ubuntu on Mac is anything like Ubuntu on PC | 00:48 |
| glitchd | i pulgged it in nd i t all came up but when i logged in the display went all black | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | devn: there are other distros that work better on the Mac, for example Yellowdog Linux | 00:48 |
| marek__ | thx folks | 00:49 |
| Raylz | glitchd: you need to configure it for a second monitor | 00:49 |
| RichW | glitchd, if using nvidia/ati, install their control panels | 00:49 |
| vigo | VoodooDancer: Is really quite easy to add almost any Debian based or Grub loaded, I had issues with some BSD stuff, but I fixed it,. | 00:49 |
| Raylz | glitchd: never done it myself but you have to look for xorg.conf or nvidia/ati tools | 00:49 |
| glitchd | how can i figure out what i have? | 00:49 |
| glitchd | where can i find those?? | 00:49 |
| Raylz | glitchd: lspci | grep VGA | 00:49 |
| pirp999 | i've bricked my dg834 netgear router. I tried to put my on busybox config on it and now the eth ports are non-responsive, is it even possible to unbrick this? | 00:50 |
| disregardthat | Can anyone help me get my mouse and keyboard working? They don't show up under HAL, I'm on an Inspiron E1505N, and it's not April Fools' Day yet for me. This is serious. Any advice? | 00:50 |
| vigo | VoodooDancer: I am running two Ubuntus' one Debian and gNewSence on two hard drives now, one box. | 00:51 |
| ubuntux782 | thanks vigo | 00:51 |
| ubuntux782 | bye | 00:51 |
| Hfuy | where would I get this live CD? | 00:51 |
| Flannel | Hfuy: ubuntu.com/download | 00:51 |
| Flannel | Hfuy: the "desktop" CD is a liveCD you can try Ubuntu out with | 00:52 |
| Hfuy | Flannel: Surely that'd just be an install CD. | 00:52 |
| keith | When I run dd on a partition, it seems like the information it is returning is not up to date with actions through the file system. Is this the case? If so, how can I get around it? | 00:52 |
| Flannel | Hfuy: No, the Alternate CD is just an install CD. The Desktop CD is a Live CD that you can also install with. | 00:52 |
| marek__ | one more, in nano, when i type Ctrl+w i can see search box, there is also an information about regexp, i would like to use it, it has M-R shorcut, what doe it mean? | 00:52 |
| Hfuy | Which version do I want | 00:53 |
| disregardthat | Can anyone help me get my mouse and keyboard working on my lptop? They don't show up under HAL, and it's an Inspiron E1505N. | 00:54 |
| Flannel | Hfuy: you want 32bit, and also likely want 8.10 | 00:54 |
| chronic | ikonia, hey, i need you to unban me from ubuntu+1 | 00:55 |
| sotec_prod | Why would my / drive be reading 0 bytes free? | 00:55 |
| vigo | Flannel:>>^5 | 00:55 |
| raddad | Has anybody ran civilization 2 or 3 in wine successfully? ubuntu 8.04 and wine 1.1.17 | 00:55 |
| disregardthat | Can anyone help me get my mouse and keyboard working on my la ptop? They don't show up under HAL, and it's an Inspiron E1505N. | 00:55 |
| Ropechoborra | disregardthat, check http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/touchpad-issues-with-dell-laptop-700849/ i think there you will find the answer | 00:55 |
| riwa | Is there some way to reset the mouse settings to default? | 00:55 |
| disregardthat | Ropechoborra: Will read, thanks. | 00:55 |
| Flannel | chronic: #ubuntu-ops for things like that | 00:56 |
| disregardthat | chronic: Ask unitedpotsmokers about that, it's probably his department. ;) | 00:56 |
| === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic | ||
| unitedpotsmokers | lol | 00:56 |
| chronic | 420 | 00:56 |
| Flannel | chronic: Please stay on topic. | 00:56 |
| disregardthat | Ropechoborra: I think this is a different issue. | 00:57 |
| disregardthat | I can't get it to even move the cursor. | 00:57 |
| Teejay__ | hi | 00:57 |
| sotec_prod | Does anyone know why my / drive is reading as 0 bytes free? If that's the case, how do I clean junk out of it to free up space? I'm not able to download anything... | 00:57 |
| disregardthat | sotec_prod: sudo apt-get clean | 00:57 |
| Ropechoborra | disregardthat, in the 2nd post there is a Quote wich talks about your laptop model. it says to add something in the xorg.conf | 00:57 |
| sotec_prod | I tried that | 00:57 |
| VoodooDance | Is it possible to mount your boot partition and edit your grub configuration? | 00:57 |
| Flannel | sotec_prod: an eays way to clean some up is apt-get clean, yes. But, check /var/log for runaway log files | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | disregardthat: did #ubuntu+1 tell you to come back here? :D | 00:58 |
| Ropechoborra | disregardthat, worths the effort to try :P | 00:58 |
| LjL | chronic: you know what the channel for ban-related requests is. ask again here, and you get banned from here too. | 00:58 |
| disregardthat | Ropechoborra: I'm almost completely sure this is something else. | 00:58 |
| disregardthat | That and xorg.conf doesn't do anything to my system. | 00:58 |
| `Borg` | why on some drives does ubuntu 64-bit (even though there is enough space on a drive) report that the drive does not have enough space? | 00:58 |
| `Borg` | bug? | 00:58 |
| coppro | `Borg`: how much extra space | 00:58 |
| sotec_prod | Flannel, I don't think I understand that. What's the significance of runaway log files? | 00:58 |
| mshanks | Hey all - was wondering if any one could offer some advice; I can't get past "Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer Hald" when trying to install on my desktop. (I've verified the CD already and it's ok). Any thoughts? | 00:58 |
| Hfuy | There are no bugs in linux. | 00:58 |
| Hfuy | Only | 00:58 |
| chronic | LjL, lolz, dude , u know im banned from there | 00:58 |
| Ropechoborra | disregardthat, sorry, didnt noticed. You're right | 00:58 |
| Hfuy | "patches welcome" | 00:58 |
| coppro | For experimentation purposes, does there exist a package that allows software OpenGL rather than hardware (I'm aware that there will be slowdown), preferably for a single application | 00:59 |
| `Borg` | like major extra space coppro. 150Gb+ | 00:59 |
| Flannel | sotec_prod: A log file that is far too large (assumingyou don't have a separate /var) and is taking up all of the space on your drive. | 00:59 |
| Titan8990 | chronic, maybe you shouldn't do things that get you banned | 00:59 |
| coppro | `Borg`: Okay, the defeats my first guess. | 00:59 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hey guys, im using windows xp now, and run ubuntu with vmware. i configure share folders in vmware and install vmware tools in ubuntu, and everything ok except share folder. where to find them in ubuntu? | 00:59 |
| Nithrin | How do I get into the TOR program so I can make changes? Do I need to make changes once it downloads itself and installs? Does it run on its own or do I need to do stuff to get it working? | 00:59 |
| coppro | Perhaps the partitioning is weird? | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | chronic: your banned from +1? same here | 00:59 |
| so20f | i downloaded a beta jaunty cd, and i'd like to use that to upgrade my system, can it be done? starting the update managner and using it oesn't find the CD | 00:59 |
| sotec_prod | Flannel, I can safely delete the log files, yes? | 00:59 |
| coppro | unitedpotsmokers: read up on samba | 00:59 |
| Flannel | sotec_prod: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. | 00:59 |
| Titan8990 | !samba | unitedpotsmokers | 00:59 |
| ubottu | unitedpotsmokers: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:59 |
| Flannel | sotec_prod: Yes. Well, you'll lose the data in them, but nothing will explode. | 00:59 |
| sotec_prod | I don't have jaunty. | 00:59 |
| makdin | hellow | 00:59 |
| === rdw200169`away is now known as rdw200169 | ||
| `Borg` | ok just wanted a second imput on the matter. I've seen the problem rolling around the net somewhat. | 01:00 |
| sotec_prod | I have Intrepid. | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | so20f: you can put on jaunty, but then your not entitled to suppourt here anymore | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | so20f: basicalley | 01:00 |
| makdin | hellow | 01:00 |
| makdin | morning | 01:00 |
| raddad | could everybody type slower? I'm not a speed reader LOL | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | so20f: unless you got another previous version on another computer | 01:00 |
| sotec_prod | Flannel, I'll check the logs. Thanks. | 01:00 |
| so20f | sebsebseb, that's not what i'm asking. | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | !jaunty | 01:00 |

| orochi | hello :> does anyone else receive strange issues with udp in intrepid? in just about any application on eth0 i'm constantly receiving "wrong udp checksum" errors | 01:01 |
| so20f | sebsebseb, it's a live CD, and i'd like to use it to update my system. instead of formatting the drive and installing jaunty. | 01:01 |
| === tom_ is now known as jardi | ||
| disregardthat | Can anyone help me get my mouse and keyboard working on my laptop? They don't show up under HAL, and it's an Inspiron E1505N. | 01:01 |
| sotec_prod | Flannel, my entire /var/log folder is 6.6mb. that can't be it. | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | so20f: you can install a version of Ubuntu, and upgrade it yeah | 01:01 |
| matty_b | is there any way to search man pages? | 01:01 |
| Flannel | so20f: Again, please ask in #ubuntu+1. But no, you can't upgrade from Desktop CDs, only Alternate CDs. | 01:01 |
| disregardthat | sotec_prod: try sudo apt-get clean | 01:01 |
| coppro | orochi: UDP is not normally checked. | 01:02 |
| `Borg` | & Hfuy, if a software has a problem that needs a patch, typically that is referred to as a 'bug fix.' | 01:02 |
| sotec_prod | disregardthat, I have several times | 01:02 |
| disregardthat | ah | 01:02 |
| amgarchIn9 | matty_b: man -k keyword | 01:02 |
| matty_b | thanks | 01:03 |
| Teejay__ | anybody installed ubuntu on ausus eee pc 701SD and managed to get the ethernet port working? | 01:03 |
| Teejay__ | when I tried to install ubuntu on it, it would not pick up the ethernet | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | Teejay__: they aren't suppourted here, but ubuntu eee or easypeasy are better on the eepc's as far as I know. | 01:03 |
| allowoverride | im back | 01:03 |
| allowoverride | Dreamglider you still here? :) | 01:03 |
| raddad | If I install 8.10 over 8.04 will it nuke everything already in place; as in a clean slate with no installs, wipe out email accounts etc? | 01:03 |
| amgarchIn9 | matty_b: "man man" also works | 01:03 |
| allowoverride | Dreamglider: you mentioned restricted drivers... let's talk about that for a few... k | 01:04 |
| sotec_prod | raddad, yes | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | raddad: probably | 01:04 |
| lukinfore | hi! when I logout from vt automatic switch to X occurs on jaunty. How can I change this? | 01:04 |
| gartral | ok, this is a pain in my arse, ah need to configure VLC's sound output manually, but i cant find the DSP device, where are they in 8.10? | 01:04 |
| keith | Are device drivers in /dev not kept up to date when a drive is modified through the file system? | 01:04 |
| raddad | that's what I thought, thanks | 01:04 |
| coppro | How do I figure out if I'm using MESA? | 01:04 |

| xun_ | Hi, I think I ran into a bug in compiz's Unfold under the Desktop Cube, I only see 3 screens instead of 4, with 1 of them duplicated... I'm running off dual monitor btw. can someone help? | 01:05 |
| Dreamglider | allowoverride: here | 01:05 |
| allowoverride | great... | 01:05 |
| allowoverride | sorry i had to go away for spell, grab my son from school | 01:05 |
| sotec_prod | Flannel, uninstalling programs via Synaptic or apt-get is'nt going to free up space is it? I think (I don't remember) I set /home on it's own partition for contingency. | 01:05 |
| allowoverride | you mentioned restricted drivers, i am already running restricted for the ati card | 01:05 |
| coppro | xun_: You probably have one desk top on each monitor, so the other doesn't appear on the cube | 01:05 |
| sotec_prod | that may be why it's full | 01:05 |
| allowoverride | i wonder if that will be a good mix in the first place | 01:05 |
| allowoverride | lol | 01:05 |
| xun_ | coppro, sorry i don't quite get that. what do you mean one desktop on each monitor? | 01:06 |
| Dreamglider | allowoverride: to i doubt i can help you much, i just installed the restricted drivers for the graphic card (ati x1400) and compiz and hey presto full 3d desktop and cube and stuff | 01:06 |
| coppro | sotec_prod: it should. Also, to check partitions, look at /etc/fstab | 01:06 |
| Flannel | sotec_prod: Run baobab and see what's up. Or du or something. How many partitions do you have? is it / and /home and that's it? (df will tell you) | 01:06 |
| coppro | xun_: Well, if you have four desktops, and one is on each monitor | 01:06 |
| coppro | then I guess compiz doesn't show the other one on the cube | 01:06 |
| allowoverride | Dreamglider: so my question is sorta answered already... from what you mentioned prior, but how about the command or configs i may require, may i have a look at your xorg.conf or something else? to compare and see if i am on the same page. also,, do i need glx or xlg to run compiz? i was reading the docs earlier | 01:07 |
| xun_ | coppro, oh i see. no i'm using NVidia Twinview mode, so both monitor are seen as one desktop | 01:07 |
| coppro | ah | 01:07 |
| gartral | ok, this is a pain, i need to configure VLC's sound output manually, but i cant find the DSP device, where are they in 8.10? | 01:07 |
| coppro | hmm | 01:07 |
| coppro | you sure you're on four desktops | 01:07 |
| mshanks | Hey all - was wondering if any one could offer some advice; I can't get past "Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer Hald" when trying to install on my desktop. (I've verified the CD already and it's ok). Any thoughts? | 01:07 |
| xun_ | coppro,, yes i can rotate the cube just fine | 01:08 |
| allowoverride | also, if something breaks, like it did in the past, i had to reinstall the os. very new to ubuntu | 01:08 |
| xun_ | it just has one of them duplicated... so that's why I can only see 3 of them. | 01:09 |
| allowoverride | something along these lines.... sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager | 01:09 |
| coppro | xun_: But do you have four desktops set? | 01:09 |
| Mean_Admin | ok, last check: if I add "icarus ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/script" as last line in /etc/sudoers, it should allow icarus (and only icarus) to execute script that's supposed to be executed by root(or rather sudo)? | 01:09 |
| Hfuy | allowoverride: Is it a desktop or a laptop? | 01:09 |
| allowoverride | lappy,,, | 01:10 |

| VoodooDance | If I have 2 hard drives... one Ubuntu and one Windows XP... is dual booting possible? | 01:11 |
| lukinfore | when I logout from vt automatic switch to X occurs on jaunty. How can I change this? | 01:11 |
| Mean_Admin | VoodooDance: yeah it should | 01:11 |
| mshanks | VoodooDance; yes | 01:11 |
| so20f | any reason why i can't configure my card with iwconfig anymore? it keeps disconnecting from the AP from local choice (dmesg output) but using the network manager program it's flawless. any ideas? | 01:12 |
| VoodooDance | Is it ok for dual boot to have one SATA and one regular IDE? | 01:12 |
| xun_ | coppro, yes i'm pretty sure | 01:12 |
| xun_ | although I don't know where to change the number of desktops's set | 01:12 |
| sotec_prod | Flannel, Gparted reports that I do infact have a / dir and a /home seperate from that. / is indeed full. Now, the question of course, is: How do I free up space? | 01:12 |
| xun_ | i just viewed Desktop Wall, and it shows 4 desktops as well... | 01:12 |
| RedWar | bak! Hey what's the deal with using the Logitech usb laser headset with ubuntu. Why is it still so damned difficult? How can I get it to work? | 01:13 |

| Dreamglider | allowoverride: installing compiz should install everything it needs, sure ill pastebin the xorg.conf | 01:14 |
| coppro | so20f: You will need to turn networkmanager off to do manual configuration; /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop | 01:14 |
| Hfuy | I had to install compiz on an eee-pc once. | 01:15 |
| Hfuy | God it was a nightmare. | 01:15 |
| so20f | coppro, i did | 01:15 |
| so20f | coppro, uninstalled it with apt-get to make sure of that as well. same result. | 01:15 |

| mapsuy | hi how do i install nmap latest version? | 01:17 |
| LjL | !latest | mapsuy | 01:17 |
| ubottu | mapsuy: 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. | 01:17 |

| The-Mentor | ladies and gentlemen good night | 01:18 |
| mapsuy | LjL: can our nmap scan for conficker virus then? any idea? | 01:18 |
| LjL | mapsuy: no, i don't know. what does scanning for it involves? | 01:19 |
| sotec_prod | Can I safely uninstall Evolution? I will most likely NEVER need it. | 01:19 |
| nado | you need the latest beta version of nmap mapsuy, beta5 i believe | 01:19 |
| alevine | is it possible to move a hard drive with ubuntu on it to a completely different system and boot from it without any problems? | 01:19 |
| mapsuy | nmap --script=smb-check-vulns --script-args=safe=1 -p139,445 -d1 192.168.1.1 <--but this doesnt run cuz of that script | 01:19 |

| alevine | nado: what would the problem be? isn't the kernel one size fits all? | 01:21 |
| RedWar | and ladies sorry | 01:21 |
| nado | alevine, i would say a file system problem | 01:21 |
| space_cadet | JakeLL, with the cd are you getting I/O errors? | 01:21 |
| nado | alevine, is the hard disk you are copying to the same ? | 01:22 |
| alevine | nado: i'm not copying anything. I just want to take the hard drive from this computer, slide it into a different system (different mobo, cpu, RAM etc) and boot | 01:22 |
| JakeLL | ubotto: K All: I burned the unzipped package from ubuntu to 2 CDs one without boot info and one with. | 01:22 |

| space_cadet | JakeLL, unzipped package?? | 01:23 |
| Lunie2ns | ok thanks | 01:23 |
| space_cadet | JakeLL, you should have gotten an ISO from the website. | 01:24 |
| alevine | nado: cool | 01:24 |
| alevine | thanks | 01:24 |
| Flannel | sotec_prod: alright, so. Since that's plenty, we have to figure out what's taking up so much space. Try firing up baobob | 01:24 |
| space_cadet | JakeLL, then you burn the iso @ 4x or slower | 01:24 |
| sotec_prod | Flannel, ok | 01:24 |
| JakeLL | Aaaah. K. I knew I must ahve been doing something idiotic. I thought it was a .rar file | 01:25 |
| JakeLL | I should have looked closer. | 01:25 |
| space_cadet | JakeLL, OR use unetbootin from windows to write yourself an ubuntu live usb flash disk | 01:25 |
| space_cadet | from the ISO | 01:25 |

| space_cadet | yep no votes... | 01:41 |
| codebliss | This is IRC son, chill out. I'll use /usr/bin. | 01:41 |
| nado | mrwes, can be both but usually for user added programs it should go in /usr/local/bin | 01:41 |
| mrwes | codebliss, you can put it anywhere you want, long as it's in your path statement it'll run | 01:41 |

| curt | nanotube_: i had 8.04 installed and just today i freshly installed 8.04 alpha and the sound does not work | 01:56 |

| nado | keith_, you can this little thread about it : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-229143.html | 01:57 |

| rww | curt: Jaunty support in #ubuntu+1, not here. Thanks :) | 01:57 |

| keith_ | PhotoJim: actually, it does the same thing if I rm it | 01:59 |
| curt | can someone please just help me | 01:59 |
| PhotoJim | keith_: I don't know. but you shouldn't delete it. it's a system folder. | 01:59 |

| PhotoJim | Oops. | 01:59 |

| keith_ | PhotoJim: It is a symptom of the bigger problem. If I create a file in the partition, then run dd, the output hasn't changed. | 02:00 |
| PhotoJim | curt: never mind. I was confused. We do support 8.04 here. | 02:00 |

| Sal-- | I have my samba server running on my Ubuntu server. Both ports 445 and 139 are open. I modified the config to allow use of home directories, and created a samba user with a password and enabled the user. When I try to connect, it just simply times out and never connects. Any ideas where to go from here? | 02:08 |
| mrwes | Sal--, post your /etc/samba/smb.conf to the paste bin | 02:09 |

| Nate13 | why does it say i need to be identified to join? | 02:18 |
| ubunttu | crdlb : it not java channel ! | 02:18 |
| dsmith_ | hi I cannot read dvd's but they do autoload, when I put in a dvd | 02:18 |
| Nate13 | sudo nautilus | 02:18 |

| LjL | Nate13: to join what? | 02:18 |
| orochi | hello :> does anyone else receive strange issues with udp in intrepid? in just about any application on eth0 i'm constantly receiving "wrong udp checksum" errors | 02:18 |
| dsmith_ | libdvdread3 is already installed | 02:18 |
| hhp2k | Nate13: Thank you :) | 02:18 |
| Nate13 | i just need to get to an ubuntu Java help channel | 02:18 |
| dsmith_ | nog | 02:18 |
| crdlb | ubunttu: it appears to be +r, which means you need to be registered | 02:19 |
| noglorp | yes? | 02:19 |
| dsmith_ | noglorp: update via synaptic | 02:19 |
| noglorp | I tried to update with apt | 02:19 |
| mrwes | Sal--, this is the guide I used on my server: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 02:19 |
| sacreno_ | PhotoJim_:is there a way to move the file or create a shortcut in a folder or desktop? | 02:19 |
| Nate13 | where do i register? | 02:19 |
| nado | sacreno_, man ln is what you want | 02:20 |
| Sal-- | mrwes, could it be hte workgroup is playing a role? | 02:20 |
| Sal-- | the samba server is running on a box outside of my home network | 02:20 |
| Sal-- | and im tryingto mount the shares from home | 02:20 |
| nado | sacreno_, ln -s target_file link_name | 02:20 |
| noglorp | dsmith_: I did apt-get install firefox, and now synatpic thinks it is up to date apparently | 02:20 |
| PhotoJim | sacreno_: moving the file isn't very wise. but nado's suggestion to make a link to it is a good one. | 02:20 |
| mrwes | Sal--, what happens when you try to mount the shares? | 02:20 |
| noglorp | and yet, firefox is still 3.0.4 | 02:20 |
| sacreno_ | kk | 02:20 |
| Sal-- | mrwes it looks like it just times out | 02:20 |
| sacreno_ | thanks ill work onit | 02:21 |
| mrwes | Sal--, you behind a router? | 02:21 |
| dsmith_ | nog | 02:21 |
| Sal-- | yes, but it's irrelevant | 02:21 |
| PhotoJim | sacreno_: but if you have a shell / terminal open, you just have to type "emacs". these directories are in your search path so the system finds the file automatically. | 02:21 |
| noglorp | yes | 02:21 |
| rww | !register > Nate13 (Nate13, see the private message from ubottu) | 02:21 |
| Sal-- | i can open all ports on my end | 02:21 |
| Sal-- | at home that is | 02:21 |
| dsmith_ | noglorp: backup your fx directory | 02:21 |
| dsmith_ | purge and reinstall | 02:21 |
| Sal-- | the server itself, has both ports open | 02:21 |
| noglorp | yuck | 02:21 |
| noglorp | okay | 02:21 |
| mrwes | Sal--, and the box on the other end? | 02:21 |
| noglorp | thats horrible that I have to do that though :( | 02:21 |
| Sal-- | the box hosting hte samba server has ports 139 and 445 open | 02:21 |
| sacreno_ | k...only been on linux for 1 day..hope im not bothering ya | 02:22 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: are the update repos enabled? | 02:22 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: and which version of ubuntu are you using? | 02:22 |
| PhotoJim | sacreno_: there is a learning curve. :) | 02:22 |
| sacreno_ | :) | 02:22 |
| noglorp | nanotube_: I have 3.0.4 | 02:23 |
| noglorp | nanotube_: but synaptic lists it as 3.0.8 | 02:23 |

| noglorp | nanotube_: I've made sure no firefox instances are running | 02:23 |
| Spirits-Sight | DEV = DVD sorry | 02:23 |
| noglorp | nanotube_: ah | 02:24 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: and synaptic lists it as installed? | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | !best > Spirits-Sight | 02:24 |
| ubottu | Spirits-Sight, please see my private message | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | !best | 02:24 |
| 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. | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | Spirits-Sight: go to that channel | 02:24 |

| rylasasin | just out of curosity.... is it possible to hack into a linux box? I ask not because I want to, but because I've BEEN hacked into on windows several times already | 02:25 |
| Spirits-Sight | I have a DVD that has close captioning on it Moly and Me movie gf want to watch now :-) please help | 02:25 |
| noglorp | Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org | 02:25 |
| LjL | rylasasin: yes, it's possible in several instances | 02:25 |
| nohup | Hey, I noticed that Novell just released a new ifolder. http://www.ifolder.com Any idea if the ifolder server could be packaged for Ubuntu? | 02:25 |
| LjL | rylasasin: it's unlikely, though, if you keep your system updated, use strong passwords, and don't install services that you don't need or know about | 02:25 |
| kiyiko | kiyiko | 02:26 |
| nanotube_ | rylasasin: yes, if you have some services running with easily-guessable passwords... | 02:26 |
| rylasasin | LjL: is it possible for a hacker to do much damage? or at least as much damage as one hacking into a windows box | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | rylasasin: yeah what Ljl said, and a hardware firewall in say a router that is enabled, is good, whatever the OS if it's internet connected have a firewall | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | rylasasin: no only if they gain access to root, becasue of say a bad password | 02:26 |
| LjL | rylasasin: yes, it's possible if they manage to get in in the first place | 02:26 |
| === curtis is now known as curt | ||
| nanotube_ | noglorp: hrm... try closing all firefoxes (and make sure no firefox processes remain - check in the system process list) and then run "sudo apt-get reinstall firefox" | 02:26 |
| noglorp | I checked with ps aux | grep firefox | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | rylasasin: by the way for reference, more correct terms are cracker and blackhat | 02:27 |
| noglorp | ok | 02:27 |
| LjL | sebsebseb: if an attacker manages to get in as *any* account, escalation to root is very likely | 02:27 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: wait sorry | 02:27 |
| noglorp | um, do I need to back things up for reinstall? | 02:27 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: i think it's supposed to be "sudo apt-get install firefox --reinstall". i'm not on my ubuntu box, so can't check... | 02:28 |
| sotec_prod | mrwes, cleaned and cleaned, and still only 196mb free on / | 02:28 |
| sotec_prod | argh. | 02:28 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: if the first one doesn't work, try the second one :) | 02:28 |
| noglorp | ah | 02:28 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: true | 02:28 |
| noglorp | k :D | 02:28 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: no need to back up, reinstall is quite safe. | 02:28 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: but of course... backups are generally always good. :) | 02:28 |
| noglorp | --reinstall is workin | 02:28 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: cool. let's hope it works. :) | 02:28 |

| noglorp | Setting up firefox (3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2) ... | 02:29 |
| BlackCoffee | konqueror is giving me this message Error: http://www.alibaba.com/: TypeError: Undefined value | 02:29 |
| rylasasin | ok. one last question: how differcult is it, compared to windows, is it easy to crack or blackhat into an ubuntu build? say they have a 20 charcter (or whatever the max size pass is) of random letters made in a pass generator for the super-user | 02:29 |
| BlackCoffee | and then after a while it closes | 02:29 |
| noglorp | Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org | 02:29 |
| BlackCoffee | what should i do? | 02:29 |
| noglorp | oh wait | 02:29 |
| noglorp | no | 02:30 |
| noglorp | still 3.0.3 | 02:30 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: try "sudo apt-get update", then again a reinstall (just to make sure you have pulled the latest updates...) | 02:30 |
| noglorp | kay | 02:30 |
| noglorp | oh | 02:30 |
| noglorp | I did that a couple minutes ago | 02:30 |
| sebsebseb | rylasasin: in general Windows is more likely to get cracked into, and you can make an Ubuntu install rather secure, if you know what your doing, you may want to find out about iptables as well | 02:31 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: ok then never mind | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | !iptables | 02:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 02:31 |
| hhp2k | Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with Compiz. I've initiated it thru the terminal by typing 'compiz' but now the window borders are missing from all of my windows, and the terminal gave me this: http://pastebin.ca/1378518 | 02:31 |
| noglorp | maybe I'll just run upgrade | 02:31 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: hrm... how about trying "which firefox" see what that says | 02:31 |
| dreamy | ive tryed to restore grub(after tryng to isntall xp) from a live cd but it cant find no hard disk devices or partitions | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | 02:32 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:32 |
| dreamy | ive done it reading those istructions :) | 02:32 |
| dreamy | lol | 02:32 |
| noglorp | its /usr/bin/firefox, --> /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 --> /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: ok maybe you deleted all the partitions | 02:32 |
| noglorp | /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox is the only real firefox executable | 02:32 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: ive been following those instructions | 02:32 |
| dreamy | sebastien: but xp install setup can see them :S | 02:32 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: hrm... well... then i'm out of ideas. everything seems as it should be. don't know why it says its 3.0.3 | 02:32 |
| dreamy | strange.. | 02:32 |
| noglorp | maybe I'll back up and reinstall | 02:33 |
| noglorp | I mean remove and reinstall | 02:33 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: maybe they forgot to update the version string on firefox? let's ask some other hardy users to see what their "firefox --version" says. | 02:33 |
| sebsebseb | !tab | dreamy | 02:33 |
| ubottu | dreamy: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:33 |
| bartek | Hi there, I just got a new Logitech microphone and it seems to work but I have to be incredibly close to it to talk into it. Basically, it's very quiet in Ubuntu but it works fine in Windows. Any tips on fixing this? | 02:33 |
| nanotube_ | any hardy users here? running all the lates tupdates? could you tell me what it says if you run "firefox --version" ? | 02:33 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: type seb and press tab and it will auto complete | 02:33 |
| dreamy | sebastien: ive been doing hat .. | 02:34 |
| dreamy | im using tab | 02:34 |
| noglorp | the about page of firefox is 3.0.3 too though :/ | 02:34 |
| dreamy | sebastien: is thare any command i can run ? to be shure about whats going on with my partitions ? | 02:34 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: both of those pull from the same string. so of course they'd be the same. | 02:34 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: and picking the wrong name in the list. anyway what partitions do you see exactly? | 02:34 |
| dreamy | sebastien: why did you mentioned about the tab ? ive been using it | 02:35 |
| Spirits-Sight | I am getting this error: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. when trying to play the dvd after following the instruction of the link that was provided | 02:35 |
| nanotube_ | any hardy users here? anyone? | 02:35 |
| sebsebseb | nanotube_: used to be, just say your issue | 02:35 |
| nanotube_ | sebsebseb: could you tell me what "firefox --version" says for you? | 02:36 |
| sebsebseb | nanotube_: what it says????? I am on 9.04 beta now :D so won't be quite the same I guess. what it says as in what Firefox says in about firefox or what the user agent says? | 02:36 |
| noglorp | finally! | 02:37 |
| twolane | nanotube_: x86-64 yes hardy. Mozilla Firefox 3.0.8, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org | 02:37 |
| nanotube_ | sebsebseb: no, to check whether the version string on 3.0.8 is updated in hardy. | 02:37 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: if it was just to let me know.. thanks i apreciate it | 02:37 |
| noglorp | nanotube_: got it | 02:37 |
| noglorp | "update manager" did it properly | 02:37 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: ah, cool ok, :) | 02:37 |
| noglorp | did what apt-get and synaptic couldn't | 02:37 |
| nanotube_ | noglorp: weird... | 02:37 |
| noglorp | for some horrible reason | 02:37 |
| noglorp | although my home page is still "http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/" which is funny | 02:38 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: there is a command to list your partitions uhmmmm what was it | 02:38 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: df ? | 02:38 |
| twolane | sebsebseb: fdisk -l | 02:38 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: well program you install first and then run it | 02:38 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: pydf sure | 02:38 |
| nanotube_ | 8.04 is the ubuntu version. :) | 02:38 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: and what twolane will probably work | 02:38 |
| sebsebseb | said | 02:38 |
| disregardthat | I'm trying to run X, but I keep getting an error about a "bad VBT signature" using Intel 2.6.3 drivers. Advice? | 02:38 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: I still prefer graphical for partitions, so I would sudo apt-get install gparted and look there, or put kdiskfree on and have a look | 02:39 |
| dreamy | okey.. but im using a live cd | 02:40 |
| disregardthat | dreamy: Gparted should be on the CD. | 02:40 |
| dreamy | if xp erased my partiotions after a failed install id like to be shure | 02:40 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: ok you got it on by default then system > administaration > partition editor | 02:40 |
| zhurai | <disregardthat> dreamy: Gparted should be on the CD. <-- it is on the CD | 02:41 |
| dreamy | im going to try to run that.. gpated | 02:41 |

| Spirits-Sight | How do you trun on Close captioning in VLC | 02:41 |
| sebsebseb | disregardthat: which version of Ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| dreamy | does xp has any sort of rule or control agaynst burning the "installation" to a dvd ? ive been doing that .. :S | 02:42 |
| dreamy | *installation and setup files.. | 02:42 |
| disregardthat | Hard to say. It's a half-broken upgrade to Jaunty, but since there's nobody helpful on #ubuntu+1, I went here. | 02:42 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: burning XP to DVD hummmmmm sounds like you don't have a bought version | 02:42 |
| sotec_prod | Ok, I specifically remember just recently having 4gb available in /, and now I have managed to free up 394mb from the full disk. I ran a backup program earlier, but couldn't find the file. Maybe that's what's killing my disk space? | 02:42 |
| dreamy | no not at all :) | 02:43 |
| disregardthat | #ubuntu+1 isn't really a support channel anyways. | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | !piracy | 02:43 |
| ubottu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 02:43 |
| dreamy | i had to because my dvd only reads dvds.. no cds anymore. | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: well if it's a bought version that you converted to DVD some how that would be ok | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: I think | 02:43 |
| dreamy | yes i converted.. using iso recorder.. | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: why do you want XP? | 02:44 |
| dreamy | to get the new beta drivers for the radeon mobility m6 ly | 02:44 |
| dreamy | theyr not released tho :S | 02:44 |
| dreamy | yet | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: Windows and Ubuntu have differnet drivers | 02:44 |
| dreamy | my ubuntu driver for the mobility 7000 only gets 300 fps on glxgears | 02:45 |
| Meshezabeel | is there a benefit of getting the 64-bit Ubuntu if I only have 1GB of RAM? | 02:45 |
| dreamy | its a 32 megs 3d | 02:45 |
| twolane | dreamy: is fglrx installed | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | Meshezabeel: probably not, need about 4GB RAM for 64bit to be any good, as far as I know | 02:46 |
| dreamy | twolane: probably | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | Meshezabeel: 4GB RAM or no point bothering with 64bit as far as I know | 02:46 |
| twolane | dreamy: get rid of it. | 02:46 |
| Meshezabeel | thanks sebsebseb | 02:46 |
| dreamy | twolane: id like to check that | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: we can't help you burn a pirate copy of XP here | 02:46 |
| dreamy | of fglrx ? | 02:46 |
| sotec_prod | I get 5,000+ FPS with glxgears on my 8600GT with TT | 02:46 |
| dreamy | get rid of fglrx ? | 02:47 |
| dreamy | but its the original | 02:47 |
| dreamy | the partitiojns where erased indeed | 02:47 |
| stdruseren | does anyone here know why my synaptic keeps telling me fail fail i tried all servers, i have feisty | 02:47 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: good well just put Ubuntu on or do another distro :) ideally | 02:47 |
| dreamy | :) | 02:47 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: or have you got a good reason to want XP other than, because of some drivers? | 02:47 |

| dreamy | well.. | 02:48 |
| nanotube_ | stdruseren: feisty is no longer supported. could it be they turned off the feisty repos? | 02:48 |

| dreamy | its realy nice yes ! | 02:49 |
| Rabbitbunny | stdruseren: Did you try pinging the servers? | 02:49 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: have you had UBuntu on there before? yes, and this graphics card issue? | 02:49 |

| stdruseren | nanotube_, yes | 02:50 |
| rww | stdruseren: Feisty repositories were moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com | 02:50 |
| dreamy | 8.04 | 02:50 |
| stdruseren | its true | 02:50 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: ok cool | 02:50 |
| jimmyjames_ | hey guyz how come after I installed a theme engine the theme still doesn't see it? | 02:50 |
| stdruseren | I am running on a virtual machine | 02:50 |
| stdruseren | now its working | 02:50 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: 8.04 and 8.10 have completly differnet versions of xorg by the way. and it sounded like you had some graphics card issue | 02:50 |
| BlackCoffee | what's the best MSN app for ubuntu? | 02:50 |
| sebsebseb | !best | BlackCoffee | 02:51 |
| ubottu | BlackCoffee: 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. | 02:51 |
| Rabbitbunny | BlackCoffee: I like pidgin | 02:51 |
| stdruseren | i found an old repository, its still at ubuntu.com they just renamed it to old-releases | 02:51 |
| BlackCoffee | im tired of emesene,and kopete and kmess won't work properly | 02:51 |
| BlackCoffee | Pidgin | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: yeah Pidgin is good, but if you want other features web cam etc, AMSN, and I think Kmess can do it. | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | !msn | 02:51 |
| ubottu | The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 02:51 |
| stdruseren | rww, oh just figure that out, thanks any ways. | 02:51 |
| dreamy | sebastien: i do .. i wanted to make it run games | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | !games | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 02:51 |
| stdruseren | it really sucks i spent like an hour figuring it out. | 02:52 |
| BlackCoffee | i'll try it | 02:52 |
| BlackCoffee | amsn is great | 02:52 |
| dreamy | sebastien: i think 8.10 wont do well with 256 mermory | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: you can run quite a lot of games in Ubuntu, native and wine | 02:52 |
| BlackCoffee | but i can't get it to display properly | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: yeah stay on 8.04 | 02:52 |
| BlackCoffee | same thing with kopete an kmess | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: ok have you trtied Mecury Messenger it's a java app, made by only one guy | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | closed source | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: Mercury Messenger that is, it can be pretty good at times | 02:53 |
| BlackCoffee | is it on the repo? | 02:53 |
| Pyles17 | My wireless internet doesn't work. I have an Intel 3945abg card, which works fine in windows. A belkin card worked, until it broke :-( help? | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: personally I woudn't use it for dialy usage, and no not in the repo, but you need Java installed for it | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: it's worth a try though | 02:53 |
| BlackCoffee | will check it out | 02:53 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: should i have fglrx or not have it ? | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: and if none of them are good enough well, if your computer has enough RAM, you could just virtual machine Windows, and run WIndows Live Messenger | 02:53 |
| jimmyjames_ | ok let me reword it is it worth while setting up these theme engines not in repository and or going to gnome look for themes cuz I could do without | 02:54 |
| Ienorand | dreamy: do you want compiz and/or 3D apps? | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: I think Trillian works quite well under Wine, that's multi protocall | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: I haven't tried Trillian under Wine, but I think it will work well | 02:54 |
| BlackCoffee | wine?that vm type little app? | 02:54 |
| dreamy | Ienorand: no | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | !wine | 02:54 |
| 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 - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: no Wine let's you run Windows apps in Desktop Linux. and virtual machines let you run actsaul Windows | 02:55 |
| jimmyjames_ | GTK+ engines are required on alot of themes at gnome look so I dl some installed and they are still not visible to the corresponding themes | 02:55 |
| BlackCoffee | i c | 02:55 |
| BlackCoffee | i do have wine,never checked it out though | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: Live Messenger wont' work in WIne, or wont' work well | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: it's better to add http://www.winehq.org Ubuntu's repo, and then get Wine, because then you always get the latest version | 02:56 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: the beta driver is being made by ati , otherwise then the xorg ati driver .. :S | 02:56 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: i think ill have performance with the new driver | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: Windows graphics card drivers in Ubuntu, wont work, for help with Windows drivers on Windows #windows | 02:57 |
| dreamy | ok sorry | 02:57 |
| sebsebseb | dreamy: and why not go Ubuntu only on one of your lap tops as I was saying | 02:57 |
| otm | noob question: the 'terminal' in ubuntu is the same in all linux distros isn't it? | 02:57 |
| sebsebseb | otm: no not exactly, some will call it the shell and some will call it the konsole, and I belive there are about 3 differnet ones to choose from | 02:58 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: i use ubnutu every day .. i like it | 02:58 |
| sebsebseb | !bash | 02:58 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:58 |
| otm | sebsebseb: are the commands the same? | 02:58 |
| backz | Hi, I've this sound card: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA). My sound get delay when I'm installing or compiling some thing. Why? I've tried something like: irqpoll at menu.lst and "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. Same problem. | 02:58 |
| jimmyjames_ | has anyone tried jaunty in beta? | 02:58 |
| dreamy | sebsebseb: its a very clever operating system | 02:58 |
| sebsebseb | otm: commands such as cd and lscpci those will be the same, because they are Linux/Unix commands. however commands such as apt-get install and things are distro specific | 02:59 |
| otm | :O | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | otm: that was lscpi above | 02:59 |
| Pyles17 | My wireless internet doesn't work. I have an Intel 3945abg card, which works fine in windows. A belkin card worked, until it broke :-( help? | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | otm: and Kubuntu is slightly differnet when it comes to installing programs. ksudo or something instead of sudo | 02:59 |
| tonyyarusso | jimmyjames_: Jaunty testing is in #ubuntu+1 | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | otm: you can have both in the same install by the way, and Xubuntu | 03:00 |
| jimmyjames_ | kk atleast I got a response heh | 03:00 |
| tonyyarusso | sebsebseb: theree is gksu for gnome | 03:00 |
| sebsebseb | otm: above Ubuntu and Kubuntu have slightly differnet commands. gksudo and yeah | 03:00 |
| sebsebseb | tonyyarusso: yeah I know | 03:01 |
| otm | sebsebseb: guess i should stick with ubuntu then, i was thinking about giving lots of linux distros a try but it seems that that would just confuse me | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | otm: depends on the distros you try | 03:02 |
| otm | sebsebseb: well i'm fairly accustomed to ubuntu, i don't really know what doors that opens though | 03:02 |
| Pyles17 | My wireless internet doesn't work. I have an Intel 3945abg card, which works fine in windows. A belkin card worked, until it broke :-( help? | 03:03 |
| otm | sebsebseb: i still consider myself a noob though, i could never install a program manually without looking it up | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | otm: for the distro specific stuff, well. when you install programs in ubuntu you will normalely install debs (Debian Packages) using sudo apt-get or aptitude or synaptic. ,but then there's RPM (Redhat Package Manager) as well which is the file format for Redhat based distros. so a differnet command on those distros. this description is not that good, so I will use the bot | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | !deb | 03:04 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | !rpm | 03:04 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 03:04 |
| kd5zmc | hi | 03:04 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest49466 | ||
| kd5zmc | how does this thing work | 03:05 |
| otm | !APT | 03:05 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 03:05 |

| kd5zmc | tonyyarusso ubuntu | 03:05 |
| kd5zmc | trying to get yahoo IM to work with wine | 03:06 |
| sebsebseb | otm: and then when you compile stuff from source from a tar.gz yeah those commands are the same, regardless of the distro. | 03:06 |
| tonyyarusso | kd5zmc: uh, what level of detail are you looking for? It's an operating system. | 03:06 |
| space_cadet | kd5zmc, good luck | 03:06 |
| tonyyarusso | kd5zmc: why do you need yahoo's IM client? | 03:06 |
| sebsebseb | !yahoo | 03:06 |

| space_cadet | kd5zmc, if you want voice... i have figured some things out.. | 03:06 |

| Rotund | In Jaunty, how does a USB connection detection work? | 03:20 |
| lesterc | does anyone knows if ubuntu-install has any bugs against EFI-based machines? (I have a couple of Mac Pros here which one of them refuse to boot ubuntu) | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | hustla: did you intall the graphics card driver? | 03:20 |
| melik | yeah i know that; but id prefer a simple command.. :/ | 03:20 |
| ythe1300 | otm: well I think that you should do more research | 03:20 |
| Svenstaro | metalforever, get the drivers manually. It's Windows. | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | hustla: system > administaration > hardware drivers | 03:20 |
| melik | i dont want to open firefox and open whatsmyip,org everytime | 03:21 |
| ythe1300 | they are very different | 03:21 |
| metalforever | <Svenstaro> , What im saying is, i tried that. | 03:21 |
| Rotund | I'm having a problem with attaching a USB soundcard not even throwing a dmesg | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | !jaunty | Rotund | 03:21 |

| Svenstaro | melik, you can probably netcat to your router and get the IP- | 03:21 |
| Tophu | is there a way to undo the driver install from system > administration > hardware drivers (from the cmd line?) | 03:21 |
| hustla | hold let me check | 03:21 |
| april_ | Hi all, I was wondering, if I was to use a backup .IMG file, and I wanted to install its contents in wine, would I need an image mounting program? if so, which is most compatible with WINE? | 03:21 |
| Rotund | sebsebseb, sorry | 03:21 |
| latit | melik: if you dont have static wont it change? | 03:21 |
| _Whipper | graph-drivers should be auto-inst. when booting from live-cd/dvd.. | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | Tophu: maybe, but if you re boot your computer and go into recovery mode, you can restore X, and bye bye your driver | 03:21 |
| Svenstaro | metalforever, I mean, go to intel.com and download the drivers. Unstable connections are caused by bad drivers but not by VMs | 03:21 |
| otm | ythe1300: i've done loads, i find them both rather drole, but it's the only decent career path I see myself pursuing without having to take a year out | 03:21 |
| Pyles17 | can someone help me with an intel 3945 wireless card that doesn't work? | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | 03:22 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:22 |
| Tophu | how do I get to recovery mode? | 03:22 |
| zloog | melik: there is no command for that that doesnt refrnce an internet commputer | 03:22 |
| metalforever | alright. will try | 03:22 |
| metalforever | thanks. | 03:22 |
| hustla | no its not there | 03:22 |
| melik | aww allright | 03:22 |
| melik | ill prolly just write a bash script to get it from whatsmyip.org | 03:22 |
| melik | thanks a lot | 03:22 |
| Huufarted | clear | 03:22 |
| projkt4 | hi, im having a problem installing nmap-4.85BETA has anyone been able to install it to 8.10 | 03:22 |
| projkt4 | ? | 03:22 |
| hustla | <sebsebseb> no its not there | 03:22 |
| Pyles17 | sebsebseb: thanks. but i tried that, it didn't help. the 3945 has problems, but they are all somewhat unique | 03:22 |
| _Whipper | melik: np, thats the way in this # :) | 03:23 |
| april_ | How do I go about mounting an ISO in WINE? | 03:23 |
| zloog | melik: if you absoulely need it. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-check-you-external-ip-address-from-the-command-line.html | 03:23 |
| sebsebseb | april_: ask in #winehq | 03:23 |
| april_ | ah k, ty | 03:23 |
| Svenstaro | april_, you don't. You mount it on your system and access in wine. | 03:23 |
| ythe1300 | otm: maybe you can take an intro to eng class at a local college, remember that it is not easy and both involve a good deal of math | 03:23 |
| space_cadet | april_, why do you want to mount an iso in wine? | 03:23 |
| _Whipper | seebseb: dont u have ANY other answers? | 03:23 |
| ythe1300 | but they can both be very fun | 03:23 |
| april_ | because multi disks install wont work with wine | 03:23 |
| Huufarted | Anybody here ever have an issue with SSH transfer speeds? Trying to SFTP a file over gigabit and it only moves at 5-6 MB/sec. When using Samba I push 50 MB/sec. Any ideas? | 03:23 |
| sebsebseb | _Whipper: what was the issue again? | 03:23 |
| projkt4 | after running ./config in the unpackaged folder i get no errors | 03:23 |
| _Whipper | "google or check it out from somewhere else.." :P | 03:24 |
| keith_ | How do the files in /dev work? I am having trouble finding out details. | 03:24 |
| april_ | multi disc* | 03:24 |
| space_cadet | april_, aah ask winehq | 03:24 |
| otm | ythe1300: I think I'm past that stage now, i've confirmed my offer at the uni lol | 03:24 |
| april_ | ah k, ty very much | 03:24 |
| otm | ythe1300: just having doubts | 03:24 |
| Svenstaro | Huufarted, sshfs is for security not high speed. CPU speed is critical for sshfs. | 03:24 |
| zloog | keith: What kind of information do you need? | 03:24 |
| Tophu | www.ipchicken.com to get external ip address | 03:24 |
| projkt4 | but when i run make i get an error "make[1]: g++: Command not found" | 03:24 |
| Huufarted | Svenstaro, gotcha. Any recommendations for moving at max bandwidth? | 03:24 |
| ythe1300 | otm: anyway you should not put your life in the hands of someone on IRC :) | 03:24 |
| zloog | projkt: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 03:24 |
| Huufarted | Svenstaro, since it's a LAN, I think I'll just use standard FTP | 03:24 |
| ythe1300 | otm: but I have meet a lot of fun peole in the few eng classes I have taken so far. | 03:25 |
| otm | ythe1300: you people are good teachers | 03:25 |
| keith_ | zloog: Well, it seems that when reading directly from a device driver (eg. /dev/sdc2) the information is not always current with what is shown by nautilus, ls, etc. So I am wondering how these devices actually work. | 03:25 |
| Svenstaro | Huufarted, you could manually adjust the encryption level but honestly, if you're not moving files from russia to japan, it isn't forth using anything else than maybe SFTP or HTTPS. | 03:25 |

| _Whipper | !otm | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about otm | 03:26 |
| Huufarted | svenstaro, that was SFTP. SFTP is the transfer protocol with SSH | 03:26 |
| Flannel | _Whipper: Please stop that. | 03:26 |
| projkt4 | thank you zloog. i'll try that now | 03:26 |
| Huufarted | svenstaro, but I have it taken care of using FTP. :) 50 MB/sec again. | 03:26 |
| hustla | can anyone give me their xorg file | 03:26 |
| otm | !_Whipper | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about Whipper | 03:26 |
| sebsebseb | hustla: if someone gives you there xorg file, it may have a differnet setting, and so not be any good for your card | 03:27 |
| _Whipper | Flannel: my point was to sebseb.. nev mind.. | 03:27 |
| Svenstaro | Huufarted, you are right of course, I hought you were using SCP (which you could try in this case). | 03:27 |
| matty_b | does anyone know which vim ubuntu comes with? | 03:27 |
| === chrisryo is now known as GzUPhoezDOWN | ||
| matty_b | is it vim-full, or just vim? | 03:27 |
| hustla | yeah but my xorg file is blank | 03:27 |
| Svenstaro | matty_b, vim-tiny | 03:27 |
| Huufarted | Svenstaro, I'll try SCP but I figure the speed will be the same. | 03:27 |
| Flannel | matty_b: it's vim-tiny, you want to install "vim" to get a real vim. vim-full includes a GUI (gvim) | 03:27 |
| keith_ | I don't like vim-tiny | 03:27 |
| Huufarted | Svenstaro: give me a minute, I'll let you know if there's a speed diff. | 03:27 |
| matty_b | alright thanks. | 03:27 |
| Svenstaro | Huufarted, as I said, if security isn't critical, just use samba, nfs, ftp, http, wahtever. | 03:27 |
| Pupuser402-1 | get vim-full, uninstall all the other "vim's" | 03:27 |
| Huufarted | Svenstaro, not possible since one's a Winblows machine. No big deal, it's on a LAN so FTP will work fine. | 03:28 |
| matty_b | on the command line, how might i find out which vims i have installed in order to remove them? | 03:28 |
| Svenstaro | Pupuser402-1, no need, they conflict anyway. | 03:28 |
| Flannel | matty_b: dpkg -l | grep vim | 03:28 |
| === GzUPhoezDOWN is now known as HammerOfJews | ||
| matty_b | may be a dumb question, but how does running 'vim' run 'vim-tiny'? | 03:29 |
| Huufarted | Svenstaro: SCP is also poor with the transfer speeds. Again, I'm not worried about it. Was just hoping to use ssh strictly, but it looks like I'll have to hang onto FTP. | 03:29 |
| === HammerOfJews is now known as Manguy | ||
| matty_b | it's not aliased, afaik | 03:29 |
| projkt4 | zloog; it looks like that did the trick, what was that package? | 03:29 |
| _Whipper | matty_b: not at all dumb q | 03:29 |
| hustla | someone please send me the xorg file | 03:29 |
| Huufarted | matty_b: 'which vim' | 03:29 |
| hustla | i jus wanna try it | 03:29 |
| === Manguy is now known as americasmellslik | ||
| Svenstaro | Huufarted, supposedly Intel's most recent Xeon class processors are capable of encryption optimization if you really want sftp :) | 03:30 |

| durt | hustla, what do need to custom configure? | 03:30 |
| === zgmf-x42s is now known as proj3ct2501 | ||
| hustla | i have nothing in my xorg file | 03:31 |
| matty_b | Huufarted: i type 'vim', and it runs vim-tiny, as the package 'vim' isn't installed. i'm wondering how this is done. | 03:31 |
| Huufarted | matty_b: gotcha. | 03:31 |
| durt | hustla, that's normal, what doesn't work? | 03:31 |
| hustla | the grafix | 03:31 |
| hustla | d resolution | 03:31 |
| zloog | projkt4: you were missing the c++ compiler. the package is just a bunch of common tools for compiling things from source | 03:32 |
| Huufarted | matty_b: have you checked the aliases currently in use? | 03:32 |
| Svenstaro | matty_b, /usr/bin/vim-tiny was symlinked to /usr/bin/vim | 03:32 |
| keith_ | What happens when someone writes to /dev/null? Where does the input go? Or when someone reads from /dev/random? Where does the output come from? | 03:32 |
| Huufarted | matty_b: there ya go | 03:32 |

| zloog | keith: the answer to both questions is nowhere | 03:32 |
| Flannel | keith_: /dev/null just... goes nowhere. random and urandom read from the random sources. | 03:32 |
| === sebsebseb is now known as sebsebsebp | ||
| durt | hustla, the last link | 03:33 |

| proj3ct2501 | sebsebseb: i have ubuntu setup on my laptop at home, and i travel with an eepc, eeebuntu running. need to connect to it over the net to access it, etc | 03:34 |
| Svenstaro | pyrak, mplayer or vlc or totem mozilla plugin | 03:34 |
| projkt4 | i know this has to do with a script, but i cannot remember where that script is | 03:34 |
| keith_ | zloog, Flannel, Svenstaro, But what makes it do that? Is it an inherent part of the kernel? Is there programming somewhere that handles that? | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | proj3ct2501: ok you want to do VNC over SSH | 03:34 |
| Svenstaro | keith_, yes | 03:34 |
| Flannel | keith_: `man random` gives you some more detail | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | !vnc | proj3ct2501 | 03:34 |
| ubottu | proj3ct2501: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:34 |
| proj3ct2501 | sebsebseb: well, either is fine, just need to get it up and running, ideally secure, lol | 03:35 |
| matty_b | is there any way to list packages that i've installed above and beyond what came with the original install? | 03:35 |
| abhra | hi | 03:35 |
| proj3ct2501 | sebsebseb: ok, ill check out that link ^_^ | 03:35 |
| zloog | keith_: Yes to both. Linux uses a monolitic kernel meaning that the drivers all live within the kernel. both of those files are considered devices | 03:35 |
| sebsebseb | proj3ct2501: yeah that link should help, and I know how to do VNC over SSH :) | 03:35 |
| chrisrio | wow, my workmates are assholes | 03:35 |
| melik | zloog, that script didnt work | 03:36 |
| matty_b | i've been keeping a text file with a list of what i install for when i need to reformat, but it's not automatic. | 03:36 |

| Svenstaro | !ask | abhra | 03:36 |
| ubottu | abhra: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:36 |
| keith_ | zloog: is it compiled into the kernel? or would it be some sort of module? | 03:36 |
| keith_ | zloog: What if I wanted to create a "device" that was identical in behavior to /dev/null, how would that be done? | 03:37 |
| hhp2k | Hey everyone :) In the default Hardy installation, how do you access the compiz config menu (terminal or otherwise)? | 03:37 |
| zloog | keith_: could be either, but I belive both of those are in the vanilla kernel | 03:37 |
| proj3ct2501 | sebsebseb: cool, ill give the article a read and see how it fgoes, hopefully i can set it up from that point :) | 03:37 |
| Svenstaro | keith_, get the kernel from kernel.org, look for a device driver file called zero or null and look at it. | 03:37 |
| asdf_n00b | I've got an issue with my MX500 laser keyboard & Mouse combo. I have to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth dongle everytime I reboot. I know it's a known issue cause I've had it before, I just can't remember if there's a quick fix for it | 03:38 |
| _Whipper | asdf_n00b: i remember you | 03:38 |
| zloog | keith_: Thats the kind of thing you would want a book on http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw_1_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=linux+device+drivers+3rd+edition&x=0&y=0&sprefix=linux+dev | 03:38 |
| Svenstaro | keith_, there are plently of tutorials for writing kernel device drivers | 03:38 |
| abhra | how to save the opened channels in xchat while closing it? | 03:38 |
| hustla | durt: | 03:38 |
| hustla | repeat what u said | 03:38 |
| hustla | wen i typed that thing it jus shut down d pc' | 03:39 |
| keith_ | Svenstaro, zloog, I don't specifically want to write a driver, I am just trying to understand how they work. Though a tutorial or book may help accomplish that. | 03:39 |
| abhra | i mean when i reopen it i want to be logged in automatically in the last opened servers | 03:40 |
| Svenstaro | keith_, it's actually simpler than you think. | 03:40 |
| asdf_n00b | anyone have an idea? maybe run a command at startup that does the same thing as unplugging/replugging the usb dongle? | 03:40 |
| monkeyb | Is there a way I can just download the files needed for an upgrade to jaunty? (i.e. apt-get? I know there is an option, but not sure if that path is supported for ubuntu) | 03:40 |
| cam- | hey guys.. got a little problem in the CLI.. i'm 99.9% sure that ubuntu supports this ethernet chipset out of the box.. but for whatever reason its not setting up a device for it | 03:41 |
| Flannel | monkeyb: You can, yes. Jaunty is still a development version, you should ask for details in #ubuntu+1 | 03:41 |
| keith_ | Svenstaro: The question that is actually plaguing me is what happens when I read from /dev/sdc2, for example. Does it read directly from the drive? or is there some indirection or abstraction involved? | 03:41 |
| matty_b | alright i've read the dpkg and dpkg-query man pages. is there any way to see what packages i've installed/removed since i first installed ubuntu? | 03:41 |
| armence1 | Hi all, I have this CSV file which when I open with either the spreadsheet program or vim displays the information with no problem, but when I try to open the same file with gEdit I get gibberish, some of it in asian characters...

| tonsofpcs | armence1: don't use gedit? | 03:42 |
| cam- | the chipset according to lspci is an AMD 79c970, which is a the virtual chipset under ESXi... i've setup ubuntu under ESX before no problems!! | 03:42 |
| Svenstaro | keith_, well it can't read directly from the drive. I'm not a low-level developer but I know that *how* files are read depends a lot on your file system, the device driver, the kernel. | 03:42 |
| armence1 | tonsofpcs: Well, the problem, is that I need to make sure the problem is not actually with the file... Because if it is there is a problem with the program that is generating it | 03:43 |
| abhra | monkeyb press alt+f2 and enter "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) | 03:43 |
| EtFb | I've tried and failed twice now to create a VMWare virtual machine running Xubuntu. It does the installation, then I restart and it just sits there. What am I doing wrong? | 03:43 |
| tonsofpcs | armence1: try a different file? | 03:43 |
| Svenstaro | keith_, you can try directly reading from your drive: sudo cat /dev/sda > ~/gibberish and see what it looks like | 03:43 |
| Svenstaro | EtFb, are you running 64bit by any chance? | 03:43 |
| keith_ | Svenstaro: I am doing so with dd, but the information it is reading does not seem to be up to date with recent drive changes. | 03:43 |

| RedMushroom | can anybody give me a crash course on how to use smart boot manager? i thought it was just a lone exe file, but it's turning out to be more complex, and i don't understand | 03:49 |
| sebsebseb | quit: use 8.04 and then you don't really need to upgrade untill the next long term suppourt | 03:49 |
| cam- | anyone know why i wouldnt have a network device ? :/ | 03:49 |
| quit | sebsebseb, How do I check what version I'm runing again? :P | 03:50 |
| tritium | quit: lsb_release -a | 03:50 |
| axisys | my laptop screen keep going to dim and I use the function key to add light.. it happends when it runs on battery.. how do I disable this behavior? | 03:50 |
| RedMushroom | what's DJGPP, and why do i need it to run sbm with dos? | 03:50 |
| sebsebseb | quit: yeah what the op said | 03:50 |
| alevine | what's the command that will auto-reguess your xorg.conf? | 03:51 |
| quit | I have 8.10 - Should I downgrade? | 03:51 |
| theDigitalAngel | Java applications are unable to connect to the net under Intrepid ... Any ideas? | 03:51 |
| danbhfive | quit: what problems are you having? | 03:51 |
| EtFb | RedMushroom: It's a port of the gnu toolchain to Windows, a bit like Cygwin. | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | quit: LTS releases aren't exactly a downgrade, because they are LTS. | 03:51 |
| cam- | theDigitalAngel: no proxy? because java apps dont pay attention to the system proxy | 03:51 |
| EtFb | quit: I used Kubuntu 8.10 for a few weeks and downgraded happily when I saw what a disaster KDE4 was. | 03:51 |
| nado | axisys, System->Preferences->Power Management | 03:51 |
| theDigitalAngel | cam-: How do I set java specific proxy? | 03:51 |
| RedMushroom | EtFb: what do i do with it once i download it? | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | quit: ah ha I see | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | quit: you don't like KDE4 :d | 03:52 |
| theDigitalAngel | cam-: http_proxy wont work I guess in that case ... | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | quit: 8.04 is the last version that offers both KDE3 and 4 from the repo | 03:52 |
| cam- | right click the java app i think, under there is properties.. all i know is you need to set it in Java it doesnt pay attention to http_proxy | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | quit: so yes if you want KDE4 put 8.04 on | 03:52 |
| nado | axisys, go to On Battery Power and make the changes you want | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | quit: I meant KDE3 | 03:52 |
| cam- | same with flash :/ | 03:52 |
| theDigitalAngel | cam-: Lemme try that ... | 03:52 |
| axisys | nado: i dont have the On Battery.. only On AC Power and General | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | quit: and then instead of installing the whole of KDE4 you could just install some of the better KDE4 apps and use in Gnome/KDE3 in 8.04. once you got the KDE4 libs on | 03:53 |
| codeshah | hey guys, I am setting up a server @ home for a little wiki, nothing serious, and other test items... I already have an ubuntu desktop on my other laptop for working. Should I go with ubuntu for server or centos? | 03:53 |
| axisys | nado: is it because I am running on battery? | 03:53 |
| quit | danbhfive: None really, it's just that everytime I upgrade something goes wrong - Once firefox stopped working, today my resolution went down and try as I may I couldnt get it back up - When I restarted it would change at random from a640 to 800 | 03:53 |
| quit | That sort of stuff | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | quit: 8.04 has another two years of suppourt, so :D | 03:54 |
| theDigitalAngel | cam-: Nothing there. Any way to do that using command line? | 03:54 |
| axisys | nado: hmm.. interesting! | 03:54 |
| cam- | anyone know why i wouldnt have a ethernet device (eth*) in /dev. Kernel module is loaded accorded to lsmod and the chipset is supported | 03:54 |
| danbhfive | quit: yeah, xorg has been a difficult upgrade... | 03:54 |
| codeshah | hey guys, I am setting up a server @ home for a little wiki, nothing serious, and other test items... I already have an ubuntu desktop on my other laptop for working. Should I go with ubuntu for server or centos? | 03:54 |
| proj3ct2501 | sebsebseb: hey that looks good. i will try that whenn i get home, i have to configure it from there. the only thing is though, it seems a little difficult to setup. essentially all i need is to have full access to that laptop from anywhere i connecct from | 03:54 |
| theDigitalAngel | cam-: There used to be a nice java control panel | 03:54 |
| april_ | does anyone know how i can access a windows computer on my wireless network, i just want to file share ^__^ | 03:54 |
| axisys | nado: now after second try it shows up | 03:54 |
| n8tuser | codeshah -> toss a coin | 03:54 |
| kitche | cam-: is it ethernet device? | 03:54 |
| theDigitalAngel | cam-: I forgot the name of the package ... | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | proj3ct2501: yeah the lap top your connecting to needs an SSH account | 03:54 |
| nado | axisys, strange :) | 03:55 |
| cam- | needs to be in the CLI, so no network-manager :( | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | codeshah: you can use Ubuntu Desktop and put on the server stuff there | 03:55 |
| projkt4 | if i put an executable file in /user/local/bin i should be able to run that executable from anywhere in the system correct? | 03:55 |
| kitche | cam-: well if you do not have a eth0 as ifconfig tells you then the device is not seen or is not supported by linux what card is it? | 03:55 |
| proj3ct2501 | sebsebseb: yah, the dynamic thing is messing me up though, i just created an account on dynDNS, i think i can use that | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | quit: completly differnet version from 8.04 of xorg in 8.10 | 03:55 |
| codeshah | sebsebseb, thanks | 03:55 |
| april_ | never mine =] i found it | 03:55 |
| cam- | kitche: it | 03:56 |
| kitche | cam-: ? is that device or something | 03:56 |
| cam- | kitche: its a virtual machine, the kernel module is loaded, but there is no /dev/eth* for it | 03:56 |
| kitche | cam-: what is the virtual machine program your using? | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | cam- -> even for regular interfaces not even a vm, there are no such thing as /dev/eth0 | 03:57 |
| cam- | the chipset is supported.. ive installed ubuntu under vmware esx before and its worked fine.. this machine is copied from another esx server | 03:57 |
| theDigitalAngel | Java applications are unable to connect to the net under Intrepid ... Any ideas? | 03:57 |
| projkt4 | like if i run "ifconfig" from any directory and it works, and i can tab complete that command, how do i add to the list of apps that i can tab-complete/run from anywhere | 03:57 |
| skate2_ | is it apt-get remove or apt-get uninstall, to remove software? | 03:57 |
| kitche | cam-: what does ifconfig -a tell you | 03:57 |
| EtFb | RedMushroom: No idea, sorry. I was just identifying the acronym. DJGPP is like 15 years old; I'm surprised anyone still bothers with it. | 03:57 |
| durt | skate2_, the first | 03:57 |
| cam- | now its loading the kernel module but its not creating the ethernet device | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | projkt4 -> look around for a tab_complete script | 03:57 |
| RedMushroom | if i type sbminst -t us -d 0 at the dos prompt, and press enter, what will it do? | 03:57 |
| cam- | *checks* | 03:57 |
| projkt4 | i don't neccessarily want to just tab-complete | 03:58 |
| EtFb | Bother - how do I boot in recovery mode using a Live CD? I need to figure out why my Xubuntu installation is b0rked. | 03:58 |
| cam- | ok.. i do appologise its there.. its now named itself eth2.. was there ever a /dev/eth* ? or am i just stupid? | 03:58 |
| n8tuser | cam- -> even for regular interfaces not even a vm, there are no such thing as /dev/eth* | 03:58 |
| RedMushroom | do i need to have any other files to use with sbminst.exe? | 03:59 |
| zloog | projkt4: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/316 | 03:59 |
| cam- | hrmm.. maybe im thinking of another distro? i thought there was a /dev for it.. thanks anyway | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | quit oh no wonder I didn't get a reply to my KDE3/4 stuff, I thought you said the thing about KDE4 being a disaster, but it was EtFb | 03:59 |
| ROFLBERRY | Welcome to the internets! :D | 03:59 |
| CertifiedBus | does anyone have much experience with Synergy? | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: so your running 8.04 with KDE3? | 04:00 |
| ROFLBERRY | Yes, we create synergy everyday here on the internets! | 04:00 |
| durt | CertifiedBus, a little | 04:00 |
| EtFb | sebsebseb: Yeah, I used it and hated it. YMMV of course, but I had no patience for it. | 04:00 |
| fearful | Stupid question but can conficker harm linux? | 04:00 |
| Flannel | ROFLBERRY: How can we help you today? | 04:00 |
| n8tuser | CertifiedBus -> my experience sofar, it has not work yet | 04:00 |
| CertifiedBus | lol | 04:00 |
| CertifiedBus | I got it to work | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: what's YMMV? | 04:00 |
| n8tuser | fearful -> wait for the answer tomorrow | 04:00 |
| ROFLBERRY | I am trying to figure out how I can internet. | 04:00 |
| CertifiedBus | but it randomly discons the client | 04:00 |
| matty_b | your mileage may vary | 04:00 |
| fearful | n8tuser, ;) | 04:00 |
| CertifiedBus | well... | 04:00 |
| durt | fearful, not in the way you think it can | 04:00 |
| ROFLBERRY | I accidentally my whole hard drive. :( | 04:00 |

| EtFb | NEver mind, he's gone. Did you do that? | 04:01 |
| CertifiedBus | @durt does the config for whether or not a client must respond stay on the server or client? | 04:01 |
| durt | fearful, it won't execute o a linux box but if it's get's going like people think it will it can ddos anything. And this is ot. | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: yeah he did, but now you told every op to look here :d | 04:01 |
| kravlin | my network gives me a connected then disconnected not and when i run anything to try to make it work it tells me that it can't find host (on another computer) can someone help? | 04:01 |
| tritium | EtFb: who's gone? | 04:01 |
| fearful | durt, I see | 04:02 |
| EtFb | sebsebseb: Sorry. Don't know how else to get an op's attention. is there a better way (ie less intrusive)? | 04:02 |
| cam- | theDigitalAngel: try /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/ControlPanel | 04:02 |
| durt | CertifiedBus, you mean quicksynergy or synergy.conf? | 04:02 |
| cam- | just a guess.. i just did a quick google for you | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: using their name | 04:02 |
| Flannel | EtFb: you can alert us in #ubuntu-ops, yes. | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | projkt4 -> oh there is /etc/bash_completion script | 04:02 |
| abhra | !seek borderkind | 04:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about seek borderkind | 04:02 |
| CertifiedBus | @durt I used quicksynergy initially but followed the instructions from SF to get it to boot automatically so I can control the client at login and after | 04:03 |
| EtFb | sebsebseb: The chat program I'm using doesn't seem to show who's an op. | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: I think they hide it | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: sort of | 04:03 |
| ROFLBERRIES | Flannel, you're a rude little cock sucker. Fuck you and the dildo you rode in on. | 04:03 |
| Sal-- | Can anyone help me figure out why I can't connect to my samba server? Here goes my config: http://pastebin.com/dab3fec9 | 04:03 |
| n8tuser | kravlin -> what have you done to troubleshoot? | 04:03 |
| durt | CertifiedBus, did you configure /etc/synergy.conf. There's ana example in /usr/share/doc/synergy/examples | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: ok don't let that guy in soon again, if he complains in ubuntu-ops | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: that was a pretty nasty one | 04:04 |
| abhra | xhat help needed | 04:04 |
| EtFb | sebsebseb: Clearly there are things I have no idea about with IRC... | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: same here | 04:04 |
| kravlin | n8tuser: well, we isolated it to this laptop through trying different ways, my wireless works but i need wired. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. | 04:04 |
| techqber1 | How can I suspend ubuntu 8.10 from fluxbox? | 04:05 |
| CertifiedBus | @durt stay tuned one sec | 04:05 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: which client? | 04:05 |
| EtFb | sebsebseb: KVIrc. Sitting here at work on my Windoze box trying to build a Xunbuntu VM... | 04:05 |
| n8tuser | kravlin -> okay, can you describe and elaborate on your network layout? what is connected to what? what devices? | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: not sure about that cient, but google xchat 2 and that's meant to be a good one for Windohs | 04:06 |
| Sal-- | any help? | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:06 |
| CertifiedBus | @durt hmm, cant find it but I am wondering will it matter if ubuntu is the client | 04:06 |
| CertifiedBus | vista is the server | 04:06 |
| Sal-- | sebsebseb, i aked several times | 04:07 |
| durt | CertifiedBus, no just start synergyc with vista's IP. | 04:07 |
| Sal-- | asked even | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | Sal--: my bad, I missed it, just saw that, ignore that one then | 04:07 |
| EtFb | sebsebseb: Naah, this is good enough. I'll just haunt #ubuntu-ops next time a bot comes calling, though with this channel I guess the ops are pretty focused so I don't need to, since they usually notice anyway. | 04:07 |
| alevine | how can I set up my computer to use the intel driver for my onboard-graphics card? | 04:07 |
| EtFb | Now... what's the command to fix/install grub on a machine that's had it damaged somehow? | 04:07 |
| kravlin | n8tuser: i'm on a school network, called the network tech etc and everything's running fine on their side. i have 3 computers the other 2 have no problems. they're all on a switch. they think it's gotta be something on my side (which is wholly possible.) I've always kinda been wary of networking on ubuntu but my wireless works fine. it's just my wired that doesn't. | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | 04:08 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:08 |
| disappearedng | is there a "tab" option in lynx? | 04:08 |
| CertifiedBus | @ durt is there a way to stop the server from auto disconnecting clients? I know there is a config setting but I thought it was off by default | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | EtFb: so yeah the how to's, but you can overwrite Grub with a new one | 04:08 |
| luddite | hi all - i upgraded 8.10 this morning and also removed pulse audio. now after reboot i hit the login screen and a dialogue opens that says "Authentication Failed". i hit ok - and it pops up again without giving me a chance to enter my password ever. It looks like its trying to auto-login as the single user is selected. Please helps - its basically bricked the laptop. | 04:08 |

| durt | CertifiedBus, sorry, never used synergy on windows. | 04:09 |
| CertifiedBus | @durt, aha | 04:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | disappearedng, i've never seen a "tab" function in any of the test based browsers... | 04:09 |
| CertifiedBus | @durt thanks for the info though | 04:09 |
| CertifiedBus | I mean, it works flawlessly right now | 04:09 |
| CertifiedBus | typing this from my Vista machine | 04:10 |
| n8tuser | luddite -> you have your livecd still? boot from it to recover | 04:10 |

| === junglist_ is now known as Ingsoc | ||
| luddite | n8tuser - i can do get into the console easily enough | 04:10 |
| luddite | so i can fix it there | 04:10 |
| n8tuser | kravlin -> then you have to copy the results, or put it in a usb dongle to transfer over then post | 04:11 |
| n8tuser | luddite -> if you can get into a console, you can log in okay? | 04:11 |
| EtFb | Damn, the installation must be really frakked. I can't get grub to do anything with that virtual hard disk. | 04:11 |
| Sal-- | i'm really in a weird situation cause i can get the mount list locally from smbclient, but when i run smbclient outside the network, i can't seem to get it :( | 04:12 |
| Ingsoc | anyone got a mirror for the nmap script to check for conficker? | 04:12 |

| Ingsoc | main sites down | 04:12 |
| luddite | n8user - well yes- but it auto logs the user in. Ive never set auto login up before so dont know why its doing that. | 04:12 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. | 04:12 |
| n8tuser | Ingsoc -> you cant wait for one more day? :P | 04:12 |

| sebsebseb | disappearedng: I have used it | 04:13 |
| techqber1 | How can I suspend ubuntu 8.10 from fluxbox? | 04:14 |
| n8tuser | Sal-- -> as a minimum, see if you can ping the remote hosts | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | disappearedng: it's fun, but limited in what it can do, since only a text browser, by the way you may want to try links as well | 04:14 |

| Sal-- | care to take a look? | 04:14 |

| Sal-- | of course :l | 04:23 |
| Sal-- | stranger thing is i don't see any connection attempts in the syslog | 04:23 |

| mib_wgs2a9 | why isnt linux so full of security risks, since it open source, wouldnt it be easy to find all the loop holes and crack in? | 04:25 |
| Chaorain | is there a replacement for btnx in 8.10? | 04:25 |

| steffanm | Between that & setting a higher debug level you should see *something* | 04:27 |
| steffanm | Try 5 | 04:27 |

| Sal-- | now i see myself connected locally | 04:28 |

| Pantlessjim | Well, I Installed ubuntu 8.10 inside of windows. I don't actually have a dedicated partition for ubuntu. From my understanding, when the computer boots and I choose ubuntu, an image is loaded and I can access the operating system. I was wondering how I can access my windows files through ubuntu. Example, a picture for wallpaper | 04:29 |
| steffanm | I'll try to do a tcpdump here and see what it's doing when trying to connect. | 04:30 |
| Sal-- | steffanm , i have it set to syslog only, so if it doesn't show up there it's not in any other logs | 04:30 |

| Sal-- | no i don't | 04:32 |
| Sal-- | i have no need for it | 04:32 |
| Sal-- | and the printer stuff is actually commente dout in my config, so no idea why it's even bothering | 04:32 |
| ron2010 | it works fine and when it goes to sleep mode or turns off it wont work again | 04:32 |

| Sal-- | what a bitch this is | 04:34 |
| kravlin | n8tuser : the first command says interface eth0 not configured | 04:34 |
| Sal-- | im thinking maybe its a routing issue | 04:34 |
| Sal-- | but the ports are wide open, so that doesnt make sense | 04:34 |
| n8tuser | kravlin -> try to add in your interfaces file these... auto eth0; iface eth0 inet dhcp | 04:35 |

| Sal-- | im really thinking either | 04:42 |
| Sal-- | well i think something in the log | 04:42 |

| Sal-- | correct | 04:46 |
| Sal-- | well | 04:46 |
| Sal-- | 2 reasonably more than likely answers | 04:46 |
| Sal-- | 1 somewhere along the line routing is screwed up....... 2 something in the config isn't saying hey... let ppl outside this local net access me | 04:46 |
| Sal-- | im thinking #2 | 04:46 |
| steffanm | afaik there's no setting in the smb.conf that will restrict to local net | 04:46 |

| Sal-- | nope :l | 04:47 |

| steffanm | I had problems myself with that on my local network | 05:13 |
| steffanm | OSX -> a samba server | 05:13 |
| steffanm | Just a sec... | 05:13 |
| PhotoJim | OS X connects great to Linux networking. NFS is native to both. the only issue is uids. you have to renumber them on the Mac to make them match what is on your server, to keep file permissions sensible. | 05:13 |
| === flo_ is now known as pepper | ||

| steffanm | Take a look at your firewall settings, possibly enable firewall logging | 05:16 |
| PhotoJim | steffanm: my wife's Macbook connects to my Ubuntu server quickly. I just have the mount points in /etc/fstab like you would on a Linux box. | 05:16 |
| steffanm | Take a look at the firewall logs - you'll probably see that it is blocking smb connections | 05:16 |
| steffanm | PhotoJim: I had a problem with the firewall blocking my connection initially | 05:17 |

| steffanm | PhotoJim: Make sure you have lockable windows, too. (And Windows) | 05:18 |

| SandGorgon | guys.. I want to have an IRC channel inside my office with certain channels as password protected... a channel for SVN commit logs, etc. - is there any IRC server that you guys recommend ? | 05:29 |
| cjpro | Aye, it's been a while since I've booted to Ubuntu, but jmp: Try running /etc/init.d/opensshd restart | 05:29 |
| cjpro | Someone correct me if I used the wrong name of the script. | 05:30 |
| jmp | the message error is : connect to host "my IP" port 22 : connection failed | 05:30 |
| cjpro | jmp: netstat -tuan. | 05:30 |
| PhotoJim | SandGorgon: we use ircd-ircu on our local IRC network. I've not tried any of the alternatives. | 05:30 |
| jmp | cjpro ok I'm trying it | 05:30 |
| cjpro | *netstat -tuan | 05:30 |
| n8tuser | kravlin -> and what is the error you get when you do sudo ifup eth0 ? | 05:30 |
| cjpro | Check to see if :22 is open. | 05:30 |
| SandGorgon | PhotoJim: what do you guys use ur irc network for ? | 05:31 |
| lstarnes | SandGorgon: practically every ircd supports using '/mode #channel +k password' | 05:31 |
| SandGorgon | lstarnes: all right... I was looking at InspireIRCd cos it has integration with LDAP as well | 05:32 |
| PhotoJim | SandGorgon: social use. we have maybe 30 or 40 people on it, on half a dozen channels. | 05:32 |
| SandGorgon | allright | 05:32 |
| PhotoJim | SandGorgon: ircd-ircu supports the password feature lstarnes mentioned. | 05:32 |
| kravlin | n8tuser: unknown hardware address type 801 then it listens then runs DHCP discover, and then doesn't get anything. | 05:32 |
| PhotoJim | SandGorgon: it's the IRC software the Undernet network uses. | 05:33 |
| lstarnes | SandGorgon: I would also recommend using atheme as the services package in addition to an ircd like inspircd or ircu. atheme has some ldap support in its development branch | 05:33 |
| SandGorgon | PhotoJim: thanks.. I'll take a look at that | 05:33 |
| jmp | how , I do to know if 22 is open | 05:33 |

| sebsebseb | MBDL: I think there is a /host folder on there some where, which is your Windows | 05:39 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: Wubi is only good for trying | 05:39 |

| Omniorb | hi | 05:41 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: if your NTFS partition goes bad, a virus or whatever, that will effect wubi/ubuntu as well. also if you haven't defragged Windows, wubi can be rather slow, and there are other reasons. one of the Ubuntu ops in particular woudn't recommend wubi by the way | 05:41 |
| slushpuppeh | Hi, I get a nice static/radio-like sound during startup, how would I go about debugging that o.O? | 05:41 |
| MBDL | sebsebseb: the only reason i did use it was because my hp laptop would stop the ubuntu disk from booting | 05:41 |

| MBDL | sebsebseb: no im running 9.04 | 05:56 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: real partitions, but maybe just wait now for 9.04 and good Ext4 views. and install 9.04 with Ext4 partitions | 05:56 |
| jmp | it's always impossible to connect to localhost using SSH, and remotely too, by using putty on vista someone can help me? | 05:56 |
| kravlin | n8tuser: ok. i'll attempt it once i have a wireless connection again. | 05:57 |
| MBDL | sebsebseb: yes i perfer partitions... works WAY BETTER i know less drawbacks and if something goes wrong its easy as 123 to reinstall | 05:57 |
| Svenstaro | jmp, stop blocking port 22? | 05:57 |
| jmp | I'm workind on intrepid | 05:57 |
| lifulinghan | so am i | 05:57 |
| MBDL | sebsebseb: well got to head to bed... moving in the morning... | 05:57 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: well 9.04 isn't really meant to be suppourted in here, but I am banned still from the channel for it, we could go pm, but no ops or anyone complaining, and your issue is not 9.04 specfic anyway | 05:57 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: ok well | 05:57 |
| sebsebseb | !install | 05:57 |
| 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 | 05:57 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: many ways to install Ubuntu, try and partition later on, instead of doing wubi | 05:58 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: as in wait for 9.04 final and then partition | 05:58 |
| aranyik | Anyone ? Is it possible to ping through a router made of ubuntu with only creating routes and activating ip_forward ? | 05:58 |
| jmp | how do I know it's block ? | 05:58 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: only a few weeks now | 05:58 |
| MBDL | sebsebseb: yes i know that what ill do wait till the full release | 05:58 |
| Svenstaro | aranyik, you want to ping through your router? | 05:58 |
| wermse | im using network-manager-pptp trying to setup a pptp connection. it gets connected but im having a couple problems. 1) it's using the dns info from the pptp server, which i don't want. and 2) it's routing all traffic rather than subnet specific traffic through the pptp connection. anyone know if there is an easy way to fix this with network-manager-pptp? | 05:58 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: and you could be like me, and wait for some good Ext4 in jaunty veiws before putting on properly with Ext4 | 05:58 |
| MBDL | sebsebseb: and sorry to say i haft to head to bed moving in the morning | 05:58 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: I am running the beta on Ext3 at the moment. I had alpha6 before, anyway yeah bye | 05:59 |
| MBDL | sebsebseb: thx for your help | 05:59 |
| sebsebseb | MBDL: no problem | 05:59 |
| MBDL | Bye everyone thx for chatting :P | 05:59 |
| aranyik | Svenstaro, well I'm dreaming that some day I'll be able to use it as a router-firewall and have my private network, but for now just pingning outside of it would be so great! | 05:59 |
| moldonond | how to install a tarbz2? | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | !tar | 06:00 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 06:00 |
| Svenstaro | aranyik, I would use a dedicated box for security reasons for a router. Use IPCop or something similar. I'm using it right now and it's been running for years without mucking. | 06:00 |
| lifulinghan | sudo get-apt instll | 06:00 |
| moldonond | !tar | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | moldonond: extract it. then cd into that folder. and I guess it's like .tar.gz and so. ./configure make make install | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | moldonond: and you might have some dependancies to sort out before it will install | 06:01 |
| yoasdf | what is gdm's default runlevels? | 06:01 |
| sebsebseb | moldonond: what do you want to installl anyway? there may be a deb for ubuntu | 06:01 |
| yoasdf | 2 3 4 5 S ? | 06:01 |
| yoasdf | 2 3 4 5 S ? GDM default runlevels | 06:01 |
| aranyik | Svenstaro, Is there CLI version or only GUI ? | 06:01 |
| moldonond | ok thank very much | 06:02 |
| lifulinghan | how can i use ping know that the source rate | 06:02 |
| Svenstaro | aranyik, you usually use the webinterface to do stuff. You only use the cli to install stuff like binary addons but everything else is done in the web ui. I liked IPCop so much I put up a box on my school. | 06:02 |
| rampageai | MBDL: I just made sure the US server was selected and then I selected xulrunner and several of the qt packages for reinstallation-- is that the right concept or am I off? | 06:03 |
| aranyik | Svenstaro, ok I'll take a look right now, thanks! | 06:04 |
| Svenstaro | aranyik, there's a large community around it so you should be fine in case you run into problems. | 06:04 |
| aranyik | Svenstaro, OK :D great! | 06:04 |
| Svenstaro | aranyik, good luck | 06:04 |
| aranyik | Svenstaro, thanks ! | 06:05 |

| Vantrax | Formoden, that will differ based on version | 06:15 |
| Halluzination | hey, i know this probably isnt the channel for this question... but perhaps someone can answer/direct me to the correct channel for the answer:: in general, what is the biggest difference between KDE and GNOME? | 06:16 |
| seb- | where docs on proper way to set up seahorse-agent ? | 06:17 |
| jachred | Is there a GUI interface to mount partitions and HDD's? | 06:17 |
| seb- | jachred: why do you want a GUI? | 06:19 |
| ikt | gparted? | 06:19 |
| sebsebseb | Halluzination: Gnome uses GTK apps and KDE uses QT apps | 06:19 |
| sebsebseb | Halluzination: they are just differnet desktop environments | 06:19 |
| sebsebseb | Halluzination: there isn't really a big difference as such | 06:19 |
| lifulinghan | ：） | 06:19 |
| lifulinghan | ：（ | 06:19 |
| jachred | I have gparted, but it doesnt allow you to mount. I cant figure out how to mount it the command line way. | 06:20 |
| Halluzination | sebsebseb: right, i understand the difference in apps and they are envs, but there is no difference other than that? like.. any advantages/disadvantages of either one? I'm guessing GNOME is more popular than KDE, right? | 06:20 |
| seb- | Halluzination: they are both so good that the differences are negligible | 06:21 |
| ikt | kde vs gnome is one of the bigger debates on the net | 06:21 |

| SoS11 | where can I find some basic info about applying a .patch to a program, or about modifying it?? | 06:38 |
| MrSunshine | patch -p0 -i patch.name? :) | 06:39 |
| illmortalize | Guys.. How do I determine if sda1 is SATA or ATA? | 06:39 |
| perdidopunk | sounds like SATA to me | 06:40 |
| illmortalize | o.O? | 06:40 |
| SoS11 | MrSunshine, but what if the "@@ -40,10 +40,12 @@" lines don't matcg...will they still work? | 06:40 |
| Formoden | Can anyone even give me a link to a page that will tell me the latest kernel version available to ubuntu? | 06:40 |
| perdidopunk | otherwise it'd probably be HDA1 | 06:40 |
| hateball | Formoden╶ packages.ubuntu.com | 06:40 |
| MrSunshine | SoS11, for the most part if not alot of changes has been made to the code | 06:40 |
| MrSunshine | that they've moved/trivial changes patch usaly can take care of | 06:41 |
| MrSunshine | but if code is changed expect that you might have to hand patch :) | 06:41 |
| perdidopunk | @illmortalize the fact that it's SDA1 implies to me that it's the first partition on the first sata drive | 06:41 |
| Formoden | hateball, Thanks for the help. | 06:41 |
| paypirius | anyone know the solution to this? ive installed ubuntu off a usb drive, and it starts up fine, but every time i restart it asks me if i want to install it again so i dont have to run it off a live cd... but its not, it running off the harddrive | 06:42 |
| SoS11 | MrSunshine, that's why I want some info about...I donno what to change in those @@ -xx.xx +xx.xx @@ lines ... any info about what they mean? | 06:42 |

| perdidopunk | if you'd like to | 06:43 |
| MrSunshine | SoS11, they can be a bit strange to read tho, as the first one might add 20 lines to the code, so the next position reference is the position in the new code, not the old etc :) | 06:43 |
| MrSunshine | the code containing then new 20 lines | 06:44 |
| MrSunshine | SoS11, but do a backup of the code and try and patch it :) | 06:44 |

| bullgard4 | mutew: I am inclined to not believing you: There are other output lines where the depends are listed and there that number does not correspond to the number of modules listed. | 07:01 |
| koala^ | hey vanasmile :) | 07:01 |
| vanasmile | hi koala^:) | 07:01 |
| elros_azothi2 | go on | 07:01 |
| koala^ | vanasmile this is where you will get all the help you need for ubuntu | 07:01 |
| koala^ | (in theory) | 07:02 |
| vanasmile | thank you so very much | 07:02 |
| vanasmile | I will be back | 07:02 |
| bullgard4 | mutew: Example: "snd_seq 54224 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event" | 07:03 |
| joetheodd | Was someone looking for me earlier? Someone said my nick | 07:03 |
| vanasmile | thank you. Bye for now | 07:04 |

| the9a3eedi | Question: what driver does ubuntu use by default when not using any restricted drivers? vesa? | 07:16 |
| the9a3eedi | or does it depend on the card you're using? | 07:17 |
| Boohbah | the9a3eedi: it depends | 07:17 |
| paypirius | anyone know how to stop ubuntu from trying to install every time i restart, when its already installed? it thinks its still running off a live cd. | 07:17 |

| magnetron | paypirius→ remove the CD from the CD reader | 07:18 |
| paypirius | done that | 07:18 |
| the9a3eedi | Boohbah: like right now I have an nvidia card. What driver does X use? | 07:18 |
| magnetron | paypirius→ then it's not running from a CD anymore | 07:18 |
| the9a3eedi | nv? | 07:18 |
| paypirius | im aware its not, but it thinks it is | 07:18 |
| paypirius | every time i restart it asks me if i want to install | 07:18 |
| QPrime | paypirius: this is a brand-spanking new install? | 07:19 |
| magnetron | paypirius→ please give us the full error message. what version of ubuntu are you running? | 07:19 |
| paypirius | brand new install, no error message, just the lovely install screen that ubuntu comes with | 07:19 |
| andrew_ | I'm looking for help troubleshooting wireless on a fresh Xubuntu 8.10 install...anyone free? | 07:19 |
| magnetron | paypirius→ what version of ubuntu is this? | 07:19 |
| paypirius | 8.04 | 07:20 |
| magnetron | paypirius→ what version does it want to install? and what's the exact message? | 07:20 |
| paypirius | its not a message, its the install window that runs off the cd, asks your timezone, partitions, user names, etc, and i assume the same version that is running | 07:21 |
| QPrime | paypirius: did you do an oem install? | 07:22 |
| g4lt-lappy | paypirius, have you thought of taking out the install CD? | 07:22 |
| andrew_ | I'm looking for help troubleshooting wireless on a fresh Xubuntu 8.10 install... | 07:22 |
| paypirius | i dont think i did an oem install... and yea already the cd is gone | 07:22 |

| JMProg | hello all | 07:22 |
| JMProg | anyone know how to upgrade to mono-2.4 or 2.6? | 07:23 |
| SeViLLa | andrew_: whats your question | 07:23 |
| the9a3eedi | Anyone? is there a way to check out what kind of xorg.conf the ubuntu liveCD uses? | 07:23 |
| paypirius | dunno, is there just a way to change the start up options so it goes away? | 07:23 |
| the9a3eedi | because when I open /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's pretty empty | 07:23 |
| the9a3eedi | so I'm confused | 07:23 |
| andrew_ | SeViLLa, I don't really have a question...just not sure what to try next. | 07:24 |
| QPrime | paypirius: that seriously sounds like an oem install (just my .02) :( | 07:24 |
| andrew_ | Upon fresh install Atheros restricted driver is 'activated and currently in use' | 07:24 |
| paypirius | if it is an oem install what would my next step be? | 07:24 |
| SeViLLa | andrew_: ok whats the problem with the wireless no ip, driver, what? | 07:24 |
| andrew_ | iwconfig shows no wireless extensions | 07:25 |
| QPrime | paypirius: follow the prompts and it should finish and reboot. | 07:25 |
| andrew_ | pretty sure my driver is ok | 07:25 |
| DigitalKiwi | elros_azothi2: I have one in bash now | 07:25 |
| QPrime | paypirius: or you can re-install using the standard desktop cd | 07:25 |
| paypirius | it goes through the partitioning info, cries about not being able to unmount the drive (since its running off it) and then i have to stop | 07:25 |
| andrew_ | I've also tried using ndiswrapper but still not showing any wireless extensions (nor is it showing up in networkmanager) | 07:26 |
| QPrime | Hmmm: well then *thats* not good. seeing as its a fresh install I'd wipe it and start over. | 07:26 |
| DigitalKiwi | http://rafb.net/p/QrDnnu60.html elros_azothi2 same procedure | 07:26 |
| DigitalKiwi | other than you don't need lua | 07:27 |
| paypirius | yea i thought i might have to, any particular action i should take during an install to make sure it knows its finished? | 07:27 |
| Boohbah | the9a3eedi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy | 07:27 |
| QPrime | paypirius: are you using 8.04.2? | 07:27 |

| Persi | anyone have suggestions? is it worth it to wait few weeks for a new version or it will be just as slow? | 07:29 |
| andrew_ | Persi, if you require speed...I'd suggest Xubuntu. | 07:30 |
| andrew_ | It's much lighter. | 07:30 |
| QPrime | Persi: Jaunty help is in #ubuntu+1 (and you'll need to be more specific than that) | 07:30 |

| Gadu | alright, got a new PC and installed Ubuntu LTS. the device manager nvidia drivers wouldn't work for me so I downloaded the one I needed from the nvidia site. | 07:57 |
| pretender | using storage device manager what does the remove button do | 07:58 |
| gajan | Hi All | 07:58 |
| Gadu | after stopping gdm, installing the drivers, and starting it back up again. everything worked great. however, if I reboot I go back to low graphics mode. | 07:58 |
| mrjohnsen | Hi. This Ubuntu 8.04 Server is locking me out. Can't log in at all. I think this happend after i copied from a partition to the / partition. http://www.mrjohnsen.net/problem.jpg | 07:58 |
| BBT | hey, so, I have a quick question | 07:59 |
| Gadu | reinstalling the drivers the same way gets me back in to graphics properly so I've also tried a few time saving the xorg.conf with nvidia-settings. that also has not worked | 07:59 |
| BBT | it seems like building from source is avoided for Ubuntu | 07:59 |
| BBT | is this true? | 07:59 |
| Gadu | BBT: building from source works fine, I do it when I feel it necessary. though most things are more easily accessible via deb | 08:00 |
| BBT | hmm | 08:00 |
| BBT | not mono 2.4 | 08:00 |
| gajan | I wanted to know is there any software for ubuntu that reads from a english text file or pdf and gives audio output | 08:00 |
| BBT | :-( | 08:00 |
| zhurai | I personally find that using .deb files just was there to make it easier for newer users to adapt to ubuntu/linux, but I could be dead wrong there o_o | 08:01 |
| Nytrix | can some1 help with external HD? it was working before but now i can see it! | 08:01 |
| Gadu | BBT: did you `sudo aptitude install build-essential` ? | 08:01 |
| DigitalKiwi | you don't want to see it? :P | 08:01 |
| BBT | no, I could try that | 08:01 |
| zhurai | that... | 08:01 |
| zhurai | would be the reason | 08:01 |
| zhurai | I'd think >_>; | 08:02 |
| zhurai | -_- | 08:02 |
| Gadu | BBT: it's required for building from source | 08:02 |
| Gadu | XD | 08:02 |
| BBT | oh, well I must already have it because I've built from source before | 08:02 |
| zhurai | it's the package with make, etc with it | 08:02 |
| BBT | but I think it screwed up the distro's version of mono | 08:02 |
| BBT | after I did make install | 08:02 |
| oliver_ | Hi all im just wondering when im at work how do i connect through remote desktop to this computer? its jsut that this computer is running through a router so ip address is 10.0.0.2 or something like that how would i connect directly to this computer? | 08:02 |
| Gadu | oliver_: forward port 5900 in your router settings to your PC | 08:03 |
| Gadu | oliver_: then use realvnc or vncviewer to connect from work to your IP | 08:03 |
| gajan | I wanted to know is there any software for ubuntu that reads from a english text file or pdf and gives audio output ? | 08:04 |
| oliver_ | Gadu, am i able to use the standard Win XP remote access software? | 08:05 |
| ynk | what are the disadvantages of installing Ubuntu within an existing windows installation? | 08:05 |
| Gadu | gajan: I don't know any off the top of my head but at the very least I know there are websites that are able to do that (I use a french one) | 08:05 |
| Gadu | oliver_: you won't be able to use the winXP remove software to connect to your home ubuntu install | 08:05 |
| Kesman_ | yet | 08:06 |
| pretender | in PySDM what does the remove button do | 08:06 |
| Gadu | oliver_: you may be better off installing ubuntu with qemu on a usb device and using that at work? | 08:06 |
| gajan | Gadu : Can u pls give me the url of some of them ? | 08:06 |
| gajan | Gadu : as i am googling for some time on this | 08:07 |
| Gadu | gajan: I can give you a french one lol | 08:07 |

| bugfux | I can ping archive.ubuntu | 08:08 |
| Gadu | bugfux: I'll check for you, 1 sec | 08:09 |
| bugfux | k | 08:09 |
| bugfux | thank you | 08:09 |
| ynk | which compiler do you guys recommend on this OS? ..or does everyone just use GEdit? | 08:09 |
| ynk | for developing with Java.. | 08:10 |
| ynk | sorry. left that part out. | 08:10 |
| fsufitch | hi. i need some help. i have 300 photos out of which i need to create contact sheets of 35 photos per page, with the filename under each photo. however, ubuntu does not seem to have a tool who can accomplish such a task, in its base programs or repos. the gimp contact sheet plugin crashes, and gthumb can't display the filename without the entire path. does anyone know any other program i can use? | 08:10 |
| Gadu | ynk: I used gedit for editing the code and gcj for compiling | 08:10 |
| ynk | gcj..? interesting. | 08:11 |
| oliver_ | Gadu, can u try to connect to my computer via remote desktop plz? | 08:11 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | I have a problem with emerald, can I paste a link to a screenshot (.png) giving a description of the problem? | 08:11 |
| Gadu | ynk: works like gcc but for java | 08:11 |
| ynk | gadu, it comes with the distro, right? | 08:11 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | I've searched nearly everywhere, and no one seems to be having the same problem. | 08:11 |
| Gadu | ynk: sudo aptitude install gcj | 08:11 |
| ynk | gadu, ah. ok.. any major differences between that compiler and the ones by Sun? | 08:12 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | No ideas?.... | 08:12 |
| Gadu | ynk: mostly just that gcj is terminal based | 08:13 |
| ziroday | !imagebin | H_M-Ubuntu | 08:13 |
| ubottu | H_M-Ubuntu: Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add and link it from the channel. | 08:13 |
| ynk | gadu, good enough for me. thanks. | 08:13 |
| ziroday | H_M-Ubuntu: but you should be aware that emerald is no longer supported or maintained by the compiz project and they strongly recommend you don't use it | 08:14 |
| bugfux | Gadu: any ideas? | 08:14 |

| ziroday | kbp: one sec | 08:15 |
| Gadu | bugfux: almost there | 08:15 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Well how do I use Compiz themes (Which I prefer greatly to GTK2.0) on Ubuntu 8.10 then? | 08:15 |
| bugfux | oh okay didnt know it took so long | 08:15 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | I made my own, that I rather love. | 08:15 |
| kbp | ziroday: how did u go? | 08:16 |
| ziroday | kbp: install the msn-pecan package and switch your provider to WLM | 08:16 |
| mrjohnsen | Hi. This Ubuntu 8.04 Server is locking me out. Can't log in at all. I think this happend after i copied from a partition to the / partition. http://www.mrjohnsen.net/problem.jpg | 08:16 |
| ziroday | H_M-Ubuntu: you mean emerald themes? | 08:16 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Yeah | 08:17 |
| === AnRkey_ is now known as AnRkey | ||
| kbp | ziroday: thanks alot i will do it | 08:17 |
| ziroday | H_M-Ubuntu: well you can't, if there is an emerald bug its extremely unlikely to get fixed as nobody maintains or supports that software anymore | 08:17 |
| ziroday | H_M-Ubuntu: you can try recreate your window theme in metacity | 08:17 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | :( | 08:17 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Well it isn't incredibly noticeable. | 08:17 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | I'll get over it | 08:18 |
| ziroday | H_M-Ubuntu: sure, thats your choice | 08:18 |
| TeslaTony | Right now I'm having an interesting issue with sound. I'm running 8.10, and if I leave either Exaile or VLC open and on pause (or at a disk menu) for too long, my sound dies. Any idea how I can fix it without rebooting? How to stop it from happening? | 08:18 |
| psypher246 | can anyone please tell me how to restart nm-applet in intrepid, i've been goolging for ages and cannot find anything, thanks | 08:18 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Well no.... I'll get over it by fixing it myself... I am a programmer, so why not? | 08:18 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | :X | 08:18 |
| ziroday | H_M-Ubuntu: then even better | 08:18 |
| oliver_ | gadu: how come win xp access dosen't work wtih ubuntu? | 08:19 |
| ziroday | psypher246: killasll nm-applet && nm-applet | 08:19 |
| Gadu | gadu: the protocol is different | 08:19 |
| ziroday | psypher246: err s/killasll/killall | 08:19 |
| Gadu | gadu: think of it as 2 people that speak a different language trying to communicate | 08:19 |
| oliver_ | gadu: ah yeah i see, uses completely different algorithms to communicate | 08:20 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Gadu: Question...... why are you talking to yourself | 08:20 |
| raddad | lol | 08:20 |
| Gadu | H_AM-Ubuntu: aha, ty | 08:20 |
| Gadu | XD | 08:20 |
| oliver_ | H_M-Ubuntu, copy and paste maybe? | 08:20 |
| oliver_ | :D | 08:20 |
| psypher246 | ziroday: nope still get network manager is not connected and this on the console: ** (nm-applet:17742): WARNING **: nm_client_get_devices: error getting devices: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files | 08:20 |
| ziroday | psypher246: tried restarting? | 08:21 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | :) | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | why? | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | i shouldn't have to and i want to klnow how | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | so annoying, it keeps changing every new ubuntu | 08:21 |
| ziroday | psypher246: sure, try do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | done it already | 08:21 |
| ziroday | psypher246: and its to find out if that error is even related to network manager running or not | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | shouldn't i be doing it with dbus>? | 08:22 |
| ziroday | psypher246: are you an application? | 08:22 |
| psypher246 | all i did was restart hal according to a howto to get multitouch working and since then network manager is dead | 08:22 |
| ziroday | psypher246: right, and its extrememly hard to get network manager working again. The simplest way is to restart | 08:23 |
| Gadu | bugfux: I have been unable to recreate your problem. `sudo aptitude install apache2` worked multiple times for me using hardy | 08:23 |
| bugfux | hmm | 08:23 |
| ziroday | psypher246: what does nm-tool output? | 08:23 |
| bugfux | install apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev | 08:23 |
| bugfux | is the command im running | 08:23 |
| Gadu | alright, I'll try those | 08:23 |
| psypher246 | ziroday: it's really dumb, such an important thing should be easily restarted | 08:24 |
| Gadu | bugfux: I see, it failed | 08:25 |
| bugfux | okay cool | 08:25 |
| bugfux | now what? :) | 08:25 |
| bugfux | oh wait an update fixed it | 08:26 |
| Gadu | XD | 08:26 |
| kraut | moin | 08:26 |
| bugfux | sorry, should have tried that before | 08:27 |
| bugfux | appreciate all the help | 08:27 |
| bugfux | your a saint | 08:27 |
| Gadu | anytime =o | 08:27 |

| kravlin | i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work (wireless does) because supposedly it's not configured. can someone help? | 08:30 |
| Gadu | so anyone know why my new PCs graphics work immediately after installing them and starting gdm but not after a reboot (also tried saving xorg.conf with nvidia-settings) | 08:30 |
| === will is now known as creddy | ||
| DigitalKiwi | did you actually save xorg.conf with nvidia-settings | 08:31 |
| saulus | I need to find the source of the original image-set out of which some icons are used in my project. I clearly identified my projects "save" button to look similar to /usr/share/qt4/doc/src/images/linguist-filesave.png. This seems to originate the same set. Where do I find this set? Just have a look at: saulus.dyndns.org/~david/linguist-filesave.png and saulus.dyndns.org/~david/save.png. The icons in my project are local copies without a note where | 08:32 |
| DigitalKiwi | you have to gksudo nvidia-settings | 08:32 |
| Gadu | DigitalKiwi: yes, 2 times (one using 60 refresh and the other using auto) | 08:32 |
| Gadu | DigitalKiwi: yep, that's how I lauched it as well | 08:32 |
| DigitalKiwi | k | 08:32 |
| DigitalKiwi | hmm | 08:32 |
| Gadu | DigitalKiwi: both the xorg.conf generated by the driver install and nvidia-settings fail | 08:33 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Did y'all notice YouTube is upside down?... Just pointing it out :X | 08:33 |
| Gadu | DigitalKiwi: yet my graphics work perfectly when I start gdm manually after (re-)installing the nvidia driver | 08:33 |
| jove | HI all, how can I get connect a different CHAT server from Ubuntu server ? | 08:33 |
| ljvs | looking for a linux distro that is basic. no programs added aside from gnu/linux. preferably not debian | 08:34 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Jove: What client? | 08:34 |
| gogeta | jove /server | 08:34 |
| tudor | is there a difference between the server kernel and the desktop kernel? | 08:34 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | ljvs, Arch Linux | 08:34 |
| ljvs | and i already know about arch | 08:34 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Hmmm well Vector Linux? | 08:34 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | No wait Vector has KDE | 08:35 |
| jove | gogeta, I meant to join to different server | 08:35 |
| ljvs | ok will check it out. thanks....but kde doesn't have to be debian | 08:35 |
| ljvs | o right....nevermind | 08:35 |
| ljvs | i forgot my question | 08:35 |
| tudor | i want to install ubuntu without kde or gnome or anything else, just the basic linux install | 08:35 |
| tudor | and manually install what i want | 08:35 |
| ljvs | tudor: that's my question | 08:35 |
| tudor | namely, awesome as the wm | 08:35 |
| DigitalKiwi | tudor: investigate arch linux | 08:35 |
| gogeta | jove do you mean chat | 08:35 |
| tudor | i tried arch but it's very unstable | 08:35 |
| jove | h_m_Ubuntu, what do U meant client ? | 08:35 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Arch Linux has no window manager (No KDE, no Gnome, no apps, no nothing) | 08:35 |
| DigitalKiwi | hmph | 08:35 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | It's a clean slate. | 08:35 |
| tudor | been using it for 4 months now | 08:35 |
| DigitalKiwi | ubuntu server then | 08:35 |
| tudor | as a server and a desktop | 08:36 |
| ljvs | DigitalKiwi: anything else than arch linux? | 08:36 |
| kravlin | i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work (wireless does) because supposedly it's not configured. can someone help? | 08:36 |
| tudor | im installing ubuntu server now in VirtualBox to test it out | 08:36 |
| DigitalKiwi | arch is the best :< | 08:36 |
| tudor | but im wondering if ubuntu server's kernel is configured more for server purposes rather than desktop | 08:36 |
| DigitalKiwi | ljvs: maybe slack | 08:36 |
| tudor | and if there will be any performance hit for desktop use | 08:36 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | jove: What IRC client are you using? (E.G. XChat, Konversation, KVIRC) | 08:36 |
| jove | gogeta, for example, I want to join a different server "cluster.org" | 08:37 |
| tudor | and does ubuntu server use the same package repositories as desktop edition? | 08:37 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | jove: IRSSI even. But the general command for switch networks is /server <server name> | 08:37 |
| jove | h_m-ubuntu, XCHAT | 08:37 |
| Shoopuf | Are there any XMPP chat clients for Ubuntu that support voice chat? (I'm looking for the best alternative to GoogleTalk, for Linux) | 08:37 |
| Gadu | tudor: as far as I know, they have the same repos they just have different default packages and a different installer | 08:37 |
| tudor | Gadu: excellent | 08:37 |
| tudor | then server is what I want | 08:37 |
| Shoopuf | I just tried Prism with GoogleTalk but the font size was pretty awkward. | 08:38 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | ljvs: I just remembered something, Ubuntu Server has no GUI and no extra applications. You can use the terminal to install all the things you want. | 08:38 |
| Gadu | Gadu: you can also opt for the alternate installer available | 08:38 |
| ljvs | slack still seems to complicated. i need a usable minimal desktop that will let me learn linux | 08:38 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Ubuntu Desktop has all the bloat | 08:38 |
| ljvs | ubuntu server sounds great. | 08:38 |
| disappearedng | Hey everyone How do i get irssi to use proxy? I read the documentation but it doesn't really help.. my proxy server is located on my other computer | 08:38 |
| ljvs | anything that is not debian? | 08:38 |
| tudor | yeah i just installed it | 08:38 |
| tudor | in VirtualBox will configure everything and see how it is | 08:38 |
| bugfux | I cant install git via apt-get | 08:38 |
| bugfux | ? | 08:38 |
| tudor | but stay away from Arch if you want simplicity | 08:38 |
| jove | h_m-ubuntu, from this Ubuntu here, how do I connect to other server (IRC) | 08:39 |
| tudor | half the packages you want aren't supported directly in arch you have to use AUR | 08:39 |
| tudor | which is a bitch | 08:39 |
| DigitalKiwi | tudor: wut | 08:39 |
| tudor | and the community is quite small | 08:39 |
| DigitalKiwi | yaourt | 08:39 |
| tudor | yeah yaourt is a bitch too | 08:39 |
| DigitalKiwi | the community isn't really that small | 08:39 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | jove: Type in /server <server you want> | 08:39 |

| tudor | it's annoying | 08:40 |
| Shoopuf | Anyone know if Google's Picasa is native to Linux or does it have some sort of WINE encapsulation? | 08:40 |
| DigitalKiwi | I see problems get fixed there a lot faster than here, no offense | 08:40 |
| tudor | Shoopuf: native | 08:40 |
| DigitalKiwi | tudor: wut | 08:40 |
| Shoopuf | tudor: thanks... I am trying to switch to Ubuntu and really need my Picasa :P | 08:40 |

| Shoopuf | That's my current beef with Ubuntu so far, I gotta manually upgrade stuff (like from Pidgin 2.5.2 to Pidgin 2.5.5) ... I figured it was supposed to do that with sudo apt-get update... | 08:41 |
| DigitalKiwi | i think it would be a few months longer but I upgraded the kernel a while back | 08:42 |
| Shoopuf | Anyone know if there's a screenlet or Gnome Panel plugin to show motherboard/GPU temperature? I saw the GPU temperature in the "NVidia X Server Settings" but didn't see a way of showing it on the desktop. | 08:43 |

| H_M-Ubuntu | akm1: Assuming you didn't change any of the default binds, that will work | 09:03 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | akm1: Also, to fix your Ctrl + Alt + Delete problem, try using the LEFT Control button, and right Alt + Del. | 09:03 |
| akm1 | H_M-Ubuntu, thanks a lot...its working | 09:03 |
| kravlin | somehow i don't think anyone knows an answer to my problem. | 09:04 |

| H_M-Ubuntu | akm1: I recommend it, it is very useful. Care to install it now? All it basically does is add integration between the host OS and the guest OS.

| akm1 | H_M-Ubuntu, how to install it ? | 09:10 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | akm1: One sec i'll write out step by step instructions | 09:10 |
| akm1 | H_M-Ubuntu, ty | 09:10 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | akm1: In the window holding the VM, click Devices > Install Guest Additions, It will mount a CD in Windows. If you don't have autorun on, the dialog won't pop up by default, so go to Start > (My) Computer > (Whatever CD drive) and open up the 32bit installer. | 09:12 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | akm1: Then go through the on screen instructions, and reboot when done. They should be installed and you will see the results immediately. | 09:13 |

| kravlin | ActionParsnip: accidentally uninstalled Network-Manager, then a friend re-setup my wireless and redownloaded it through repositories, now wired network doesn't work at all. atm it's not even appearing in ifconfig | 09:20 |

| SYST3M32 | yea | 09:25 |
| shawn | been there already | 09:25 |
| SYST3M32 | but this makes life simple running as root | 09:25 |
| sharktooth | or sudo xterm for a root window so u dont have to sudo a 10000 times | 09:25 |
| SYST3M32 | so he doesnt have to use sudo like water | 09:25 |
| kravlin | SYSTEM32: who are you talking to | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: sudo su doesnt configure the environment correctly so is not right | 09:25 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | So yeah, I have....... like 35 items in my dock.. I think it's time I close something, don't you agree? | 09:25 |
| UKGent | Action The main point is that conducting a Search in conjunction with the Forums, generally homes in on the answer - I always try that now before asking a direct question on IRC. I find IRC best for very specific operational queries | 09:25 |
| shawn | get stuck on ./BitchX | 09:25 |
| H_M-Ubuntu | Nah!!!!! I'll just make the icons smaller! | 09:25 |

| SYST3M32 | sudo su root always works for me | 09:26 |

| SYST3M32 | and i dont have to type sudo sudo sudo get cat sudo | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: sudo su shouldnt work as the root account is disabled | 09:27 |
| SYST3M32 | not on my system:D | 09:27 |
| Jimi_Neutral | Anyone know much about Clonezilla? | 09:27 |
| shawn | ActionParsnip: been there done that ;) | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: then you have weakened your system security, well done | 09:27 |
| tsimpson | ActionParsnip: it works because it's root who's running su | 09:27 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: the computer's a Lenovo thinkpad x61 and the device is apperently a gigabit card from Intel. | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: by default (and for many MANY good reasons) the account is disabled | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: sudo su will not work on a normal install and sudo -i is advised | 09:28 |
| sharktooth | yeah its like a double positive :) | 09:28 |
| sharktooth | sudo su sudo | 09:28 |
| sharktooth | :) | 09:28 |
| SYST3M32 | yes i have | 09:28 |
| SYST3M32 | but i can always disable it | 09:28 |
| tsimpson | ActionParsnip: it does work, but it's pointless | 09:28 |
| SYST3M32 | and i have a 36 character alphanumeric passwd for root | 09:29 |
| SYST3M32 | so i think it will be good | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: does lshw -C network say the device has a module associated with it | 09:29 |
| ljsoftnet | what's the terminal keyboard shortcut for autocomplete? | 09:29 |
| SYST3M32 | call me nuts | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: you are missing the point | 09:29 |
| kravlin | ok. this argument is getting rediculous. it's obvious that system's just pushing buttons. | 09:29 |
| tsimpson | SYST3M32: but a 0 length password is impossible to crack | 09:29 |
| SYST3M32 | but its gonna be a ich on your head to bruteforce that | 09:29 |
| SYST3M32 | i don't think | 09:29 |
| SYST3M32 | anyone has the balls | 09:29 |
| SYST3M32 | to crack them open | 09:30 |
| UKGent | I was given to understand that it is best not to be root, except as needed - leaves you open to compromise does't it ? but the great thing about Linux is that we are free to live dangerously , if we want , I suppose ! | 09:30 |
| tsimpson | with no password, you can not crack it | 09:30 |
| shawn | ActionParsnip: figured it out.... darn typo | 09:30 |
| cemc | how can i prevent the dhcp client from updating my /etc/resolv.conf | 09:30 |
| cemc | ? | 09:30 |

| tsimpson | you have a password set, so it's possible to crack | 09:30 |
| SYST3M32 | yea | 09:30 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: it does. | 09:30 |
| SYST3M32 | with top software | 09:30 |
| tsimpson | SYST3M32: with a small bot swarm and persistence | 09:30 |
| SYST3M32 | i estimate a 178 years with 1 tb of rainbow tables | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: the root account is disabled to stop users logging in as it and running apps like irc and web brosers which can be attacked, circumvented and taken control of, givi the attacker the priveledges of that program. If a command is running as user its access is significantly reduced so cannot affect the system so badly | 09:31 |
| SYST3M32 | have fun with that | 09:31 |
| SYST3M32 | its my personal pc | 09:31 |
| tsimpson | SYST3M32: that's still more likely than 0% yes? | 09:31 |
| SYST3M32 | on my personal subnet | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: also if the account is disabled a brute force attack has ZERO percent chance of success | 09:31 |

| SYST3M32 | yea i'm really not worried about it | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: there is nothing a user in the admin group cant do that root can't do | 09:32 |
| SYST3M32 | i have more pressing concerns, like my damn wifi not working | 09:32 |

| SYST3M32 | yea this is a experimental OS | 09:33 |
| BrainWav | test | 09:33 |
| SYST3M32 | nothing on here is worth anything | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | SYST3M32: anyway, the default (and intelligent) option is root to be disabled, so please do not advise users to sudo su | 09:33 |
| SYST3M32 | and all ports are closed | 09:33 |

| kravlin | ActionParsnip: actually. when i run apt-get it tells me the directory's locked | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: can you pastebin the output of lsmod | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !fixapt | 09:47 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 09:47 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: sure. mind if i try a reboot first? | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: sure, can't hurt | 09:48 |
| Primedeath | Question, I just got my new 1TB Drive. When I format it to EXT2 it only shows that 870GB is free. When 910-940GB is it's true space when formatted. | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Primedeath: you sure you didnt format ext3? | 09:48 |
| Primedeath | I have it connected to my router, and it shows 870GB free out of 916GB.. Even though I have put nothing on it. | 09:48 |
| Primedeath | I am sure. | 09:48 |
| Primedeath | The same loss of space is on EXT3 as well, I did it with my 80GB. | 09:48 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: because 10% is kept for root by default | 09:48 |
| linxeh | or something | 09:48 |
| Primedeath | Hm. | 09:49 |
| linxeh | for lost+found and other maintenance | 09:49 |
| Primedeath | Any way to remove that? | 09:49 |
| linxeh | when you format I think mkext2fs has an option to tune it | 09:49 |
| Primedeath | I just want to be able to have NAS Storage on my Tomato router. | 09:49 |
| linxeh | but you risk losing data | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Primedeath: nope, you could use a different fs | 09:49 |
| Primedeath | Hmm.. | 09:49 |
| Primedeath | Tomato only supports EXT2/3 and FAT.. =[ | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dont use fat, its not robust | 09:49 |
| Primedeath | I know | 09:50 |
| Primedeath | FAT is never an option for me. :} | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | its ok on 1Gb memory sticks | 09:50 |
| FuTz | hello, i'm experiencing a problem with my ubuntu 8.10.. i was changing refresh rate and now when i log in my monitor says out of range, how could i fix this problem? | 09:50 |
| Primedeath | So I pretty much lose almost 100GB of freespace? =[ Damn. | 09:50 |
| FuTz | i tryed with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xortg | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | well, you'll lose 10% of any disk | 09:50 |
| Primedeath | How big is the chance of losing data if I were to just reduce the size that it saves. | 09:50 |
| FuTz | but that configuration does not give me to input refresh rate | 09:51 |
| kravlin | Primedeath: I feel your pain. my next goal is to set up a 2TB server in the case of a PS2 | 09:51 |
| Primedeath | I know, but 870GB free out of a 1TB Drive, bleh. | 09:51 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: you know its not really a 1TB drive right ? | 09:51 |
| Primedeath | If only Tomato supported NTFS. =[ | 09:51 |
| Primedeath | I know. | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Primedeath: if your other device was more forgiving you could use ntfs or JFS | 09:52 |
| Primedeath | JFS, hmm | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | or some other FS | 09:52 |
| linxeh | its only 931GB to begin with, and that there is always an overhead with filesystems | 09:52 |
| FuTz | can someone help me with my problem? | 09:52 |
| mer53 | HI its me again .......... so hope someone cam help me | 09:53 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141931/ | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: could try: sudo rmmod e1000e; sudo modprobe e1000e | 09:53 |
| Primedeath | Oh well, I'll stick with EXT2.. I feel safer with it... Or should I go EXT3? | 09:53 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: always ext3 | 09:53 |
| kravlin | FuTz, mer53, Ask your problem not if you can ask it. that's what this place is here for. | 09:53 |

| pg-13[prostitute | how do i get an old nvu package to werk on 8.10 | 09:54 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: you could tune the saved space for root down a bit I guess, but mmmm, I'd rather the fs had enough room to recover lost inodes etc if the worst does happen etc | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Primedeath: if its that big, ext3 | 09:54 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: does your router thing support ext3 ? | 09:54 |
| Primedeath | Yup | 09:54 |
| mer53 | ok got a problem with using terminal .......... I believeit is working from the directory desktop and the file I am converting is on the desktop but terminal says file not found | 09:54 |
| linxeh | then go with that, the journal should help protect against corruption | 09:55 |

| kravlin | ActionParsnip: the first one removed it from the gui for network manager, the second brought it back and it looks for a network then gets disconnected. | 09:55 |
| linxeh | mer53: when you open a new terminal it starts in your home directory, not the Desktop. type "cd ~/Desktop" to get onto the desktop | 09:55 |
| pg-13[prostitute | maybe ./ before the file | 09:55 |
| mer53 | ok cheers | 09:55 |
| linxeh | mer53: what are you trying to install with alien ? | 09:55 |
| mer53 | graphics drivers | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: you could read dmesg | less | 09:56 |

| ActionParsnip | kravlin: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old; sudo shutdown -r now | 09:56 |

| Jimi_Neutral | hey hippy, hows you | 10:00 |
| Primedeath | linxeh: What exactly does the saved space for root do? Does it protect my data? Just to let you know, this is purely storage and I am not using Linux. So it's not like I'll be able to check the filesystem often for errors. | 10:00 |
| Jimi_Neutral | i got clonezilla kinda working in the end | 10:00 |
| Primedeath | Forgive my ignorance please. ;] | 10:00 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: somehow that worked.... | 10:00 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: how? | 10:01 |
| mer53 | damned caps | 10:01 |
| Jimi_Neutral | now its just saying that the machine it is trying to take the image from the NTS partition is corrupt | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: what made it work? | 10:01 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: well it kinda did. the computer now says it's connected. but it doesn't go anywhere | 10:01 |
| mer53 | ty linexeh .... I was copying from what was already in the terminal, how do you know when to use capitals or not? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: i'm guessing the rmmod / modprobe | 10:02 |
| === umar is now known as umar|away | ||
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: it says it's connected after removing interfaces from the config and then rebooting. but now it doesn't ping anything. it's apperently connected but not going anywhere | 10:02 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: its so that when the filesystem gets full the root user still has space to do maintenance. essentially, this is so that if the filesystem gets corrupted (maybe due to a crash) when fsck.extN runs it can find all the bits of lost files and "move" them to a lost+found directory so that the sysadmin can piece together bits of lost files for users etc. if you don't have some space there you may never be able to repair a crashed filesystem | 10:03 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: certainly we leave it alone on filesystems on our multi-TB arrays | 10:03 |
| mer53 | I thionk I checked the repositories.......... but not found anything I could recognise ......tbh Im a windows whore so need to learn how to do thingas differently | 10:03 |
| Primedeath | Indeed. | 10:03 |
| linxeh | mer53: I just know that the desktop folder is called Desktop :) (try "ls" to list files in a directory) | 10:04 |

| Primedeath | What's the likely hood on a crashed filesystem from an average consumer? | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: can you ping names? can you ping iPs? | 10:04 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: i couldn't and now it can't do anything again. | 10:04 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: it discoed and now it's doing the same thing, connecting then immediately disconnecting again. | 10:04 |
| chilli0 | ows | 10:04 |
| ablmf | how to change machine name of ubuntu? I am using server edition and I do not have X-windows installed. So I think I have to use command line to change that. | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: ok now run: dmesg | tail | 10:05 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: but it's now appearing in ifconfig. | 10:05 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: I've seen it a few times, but mainly during power cuts or kernel panics. at work we see it every now and then, a few times a year probably (again due to crashes / power failures). With ext3 the journal takes some of that pain away - its possible the journal is stored in that area too btw | 10:05 |

| Jimi_Neutral | hey again hippy | 10:06 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: it is no longer disabled. | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin: sweet | 10:07 |
| c_nick | ActionParsnip: can u help me out with my query | 10:07 |
| Primedeath | linxeh, hmm.. Kernel panics though? Sorry about bothering you so much about this, but as I am not on Linux and the only kernel I could see panicking is my router which is highly unlikely going to mess up the drive.. Or could the filesystem just randomly mess up? I access the drive via Samba that the router provides. | 10:07 |
| hippychick_ | i keep getting disconnected on wired, wireless works perfectly but wired seems to throw fits :S | 10:07 |
| Primedeath | Again, sorry, I just like to know everything I can. :] | 10:07 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: now it says it's connected but i can't ping or anything. | 10:07 |
| kravlin | hippychick_: how so? | 10:07 |
| c_nick | ActionParsnip: If i copied the entire Virtual Box in the home folder (/home/.virtualbox) can i make it work on the some other terminal by just copying the stuff in the latters home folder | 10:08 |
| Jimi_Neutral | hippychick_: I would help you there but im newbier than you | 10:08 |
| kravlin | apperently like that.... | 10:08 |
| Jimi_Neutral | lol | 10:08 |
| hippychick_ | well it connects up and works but then all of a sudden it will disconnect and i have to reboot, so far the past 2 times its been after launching firefox | 10:08 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: the router is running linux, so has a kernel too. it might kernel panic for the same reasons any linux system does - hardware failures / issues (eg power, driver problems) etc | 10:08 |
| c_nick | simply by just coping from one terminal to other | 10:08 |
| kravlin | ActionParsnip: in fact. trying to ping something killed the gui right out. | 10:08 |
| === chilli0 is now known as notchilli0 | ||
| linxeh | Primedeath: the filesystem shouldnt randomly mess up - its used by millions of machines every day with no problem | 10:09 |

| Primedeath | Meh, I am just about to convince myself that I should let it be.. I'd rather have ~70GB lost in freespace than to lose 400GB's or more due to a corrupt fs. | 10:09 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: how is the speed of the transfers to that drive via the router? the last time I tried similar I wanted to kill myself it was so slow :) | 10:09 |
| Primedeath | linxeh, not too bad. I can still stream 720p, I just have to set it to 3 second buffer. | 10:10 |
| Primedeath | I have an eSata connection, I just only use it when I transfer something big. | 10:10 |
| linxeh | Primedeath: well its not 70GB lost really, you've got a 931GB drive, of which a portion is lost to formatting anyway (in any filesystem), and then you've lost some more for this superuser portion, and some for the journal. buy another drive if you run out of space :) | 10:11 |
| c_nick | I have a virtual Box on a terminal here.. its loaded with xp.. now if i copied this folder (/home/.virtualbox) and port it to some random terminal and copied it there then how to get it to work.. can u guide me | 10:11 |

| Jimi_Neutral | Linxeh: please tell me you dont mean SSD drives? | 10:12 |
| linxeh | Jimi_Neutral: nope | 10:12 |
| Primedeath | HDD/RAM is easy and cheaper to upgrade yourself. | 10:12 |
| Jimi_Neutral | Jesus, i was gonna say you must be loaded | 10:12 |
| Primedeath | I want SSD. =[ | 10:12 |

| ActionParsnip | chilli0: most likely a permissions ting | 10:24 |
| chilli0 | mmm | 10:24 |
| chilli0 | i removed windows firewall | 10:24 |
| chilli0 | and it still hates me | 10:24 |
| ikonia | chilli0: so the printer is on the windows box, correct ? | 10:25 |
| chilli0 | sadly yes | 10:25 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok - what type of printer is it ? | 10:25 |

| ikonia | chilli0: ooh, not aware/heard of that model | 10:26 |
| ikonia | chilli0: windows is sharing it out directly, it's not using a print server or anything like that ? | 10:26 |
| chilli0 | its pretty good , was. | 10:26 |
| chilli0 | its not no its , i just enabled printer sharing in the printer options | 10:27 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok, so basiclly the printer is the same as a network share //computername/printer_share_name | 10:27 |
| chilli0 | yes | 10:27 |
| ikonia | chilli0: how are you trying to connect to the printer | 10:27 |
| ikonia | (from the ubuntu machine) | 10:27 |
| chilli0 | the printer thing in system > admin | 10:27 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok so using cups, fair enoough | 10:28 |
| ikonia | chilli0: does it see the printer at all ? | 10:28 |
| chilli0 | it does | 10:28 |
| chilli0 | yes | 10:28 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok - so walk me through until where the problem is | 10:28 |
| chilli0 | untill i print | 10:29 |
| ikonia | what happens ? | 10:29 |
| chilli0 | and then it does nothing justs ques for a while | 10:29 |
| chilli0 | then if i go to settings | 10:29 |
| chilli0 | of that printer | 10:29 |
| ikonia | chilli0: do you see it queuing on the windows print queue or the ubuntu local print spool ? | 10:29 |
| chilli0 | ubuntu | 10:29 |
| jelly12gen | someone heard that ubuntu is dropping ecams because vim is better? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | jelly12gen: no | 10:30 |
| jelly12gen | *emacs | 10:30 |
| ikonia | chilli0: so it doesn't appear in the windows print queue ? | 10:30 |
| chilli0 | Correct. | 10:30 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok when you connected using cups, it asks you to select a printer "driver" from the list, what did you select ? | 10:30 |
| DieseL`maj | is there a problem with the intrepid repos? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | DieseL`maj: not that I'm aware of | 10:31 |
| chilli0 | i selected the same on as its called | 10:31 |
| chilli0 | Stylus-Photo-R350 | 10:31 |
| ikonia | chilli0: so there is a native cups driver for it, excellent | 10:31 |
| chilli0 | yes | 10:31 |
| DieseL`maj | ah ok it seems ok now | 10:31 |
| ikonia | chilli0: so lets take a step back and look at a higher level | 10:31 |
| DieseL`maj | was getting bad header files | 10:31 |
| chilli0 | hold up 2 secs | 10:31 |
| Wintervenom | I hear Emacs is being dropped, is it true? | 10:31 |
| chilli0 | just doing one thing | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Wintervenom: you've just asked that as another user | 10:32 |
| Wintervenom | O.o I haven't even been here. | 10:32 |
| DieseL`maj | arg | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Wintervenom: I'm not aware of emacs being dropped to answer your question | 10:32 |
| DieseL`maj | cant get the msttcorefonts now | 10:32 |
| DieseL`maj | bad header line :/ | 10:32 |
| ikonia | chilli0: shout when you are ready | 10:32 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: my printer state is : Idle - unable to connect to CIFS host after ( tryed 3 times) | 10:32 |
| chilli0 | i use to get a NT_ACCESS_DENIED or something like that | 10:33 |
| Wintervenom | Oh, thanks. | 10:33 |
| ikonia | chilli0: that was my next question - your auth model | 10:33 |
| ikonia | chilli0: is the windows PC part of a domain ? | 10:33 |
| ikonia | chilli0: is the printer share granted the correct permissions for printing ? | 10:33 |
| chilli0 | it is yes | 10:34 |
| chilli0 | other windows computers can print for it | 10:34 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok - so that means your printer will require some form of authentication from the domain it's part of | 10:34 |
| ikonia | chilli0: which your error message also confims | 10:35 |
| chilli0 | IT doesnt no , well all of the other computers didnt use it. | 10:35 |
| ikonia | chilli0: are the other computers part of the domain | 10:36 |
| chilli0 | by domain do u mean workgroup? and yes if thats what u mean | 10:37 |
| ikonia | no I don't | 10:37 |
| ikonia | that's why I asked about domain | 10:37 |
| ikonia | chilli0: so your PC's are part of a work group, not domain, correct. | 10:37 |
| ikonia | chilli0: so each system is authenticated against local users, not a central domain point ? | 10:37 |
| chilli0 | yes | 10:37 |
| chilli0 | i think lol | 10:37 |
| chilli0 | its just home computers | 10:38 |
| ikonia | chilli0: you think ? | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | so not really set up to be hardcore. | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | and yes | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | i get it now | 10:38 |
| ikonia | ok - | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | yeh its not a network loging kinda thing. | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | just normal home comps | 10:38 |
| ikonia | networking logging ?? | 10:38 |
| ikonia | ok - so it's a workgroup | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | no network loging | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | yes | 10:38 |
| ikonia | chilli0: oh you mean "login" - not "loging" | 10:39 |
| chilli0 | yeh my bad | 10:39 |
| ikonia | no no, thats fine, just trying to make sure we are on the same page | 10:39 |
| ikonia | chilli0: so first thing I'd suggest doing is putting your ubuntu machine in the same workgroup as the windows machines. | 10:39 |
| netr | fw | 10:40 |
| chilli0 | Done. | 10:40 |
| ikonia | netr: ? | 10:40 |
| netr | hello | 10:40 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok - so now look at the permissions on the printer share, what are they set to | 10:40 |

| chilli0 | i just tryed adding the printer again , and this time i decided to press Verify ( with promp user if required) and it just says : Print share inaccessible . the print share is not accessible | 10:41 |
| chilli0 | and how do i look at the perms? | 10:42 |
| ikonia | chilli0: ok - we'll get there | 10:42 |
| ikonia | chilli0: you right click on the printer and look at the share options | 10:42 |
| ikonia | chilli0: lets take a step back first though | 10:42 |
| chilli0 | in ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| chilli0 | mk | 10:42 |
| ikonia | chilli0: no - on the machine sharing the printer | 10:42 |

| ikonia | chilli0: lets pause and take a step back frist | 10:42 |
| chilli0 | k | 10:42 |
| ikonia | chilli0: can the ubuntu machine ping the windows machine sharing the printer | 10:42 |

| DieseL`maj | make any sense to anyone? | 10:42 |

| c_nick | ActionParsnip: Consider 2 VB's now if i cut-copy-pasted the stuff from (/home/.virtualbox/ pc1) to (/home/.virtualbox/ pc2) Folder then is there a chance it will work properly | 10:56 |
| PerryArmstrong | Shoopuf; ny idea | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | c_nick: on another system? | 10:56 |
| kholerabbi | :D | 10:56 |
| c_nick | ActionParsnip: Yes | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | c_nick: you will most likely need to chmod and chown the entire folder to the user on the other system but i dont see why it wouldnt work, should be fine | 10:57 |
| BoltClock | can anyone help? | 10:58 |
| c_nick | Its just like copying from one folder to another | 10:58 |
| Shoopuf | PerryArmstrong: Sorry I have never seen that problem before | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | c_nick: if its on a different system the user intending to use it may not have access | 10:58 |

| c_nick | access to wht ? | 10:58 |

| c_nick | I am just cut copy pasting the stuff from /home/.VB to that pc's /home/.VB thats all... | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | c_nick: well it will have a different owner so that will need setting for the new system. something like: sudo chown -R $USER /path/to/.virtualbox will fix it nice | 10:59 |

| stevem_ | Hi, I'm thinking of trying Ubuntu again - haven't for a few years now - however is there an automatic way I can "de-brand" it... for example the Gnome foot being a ubuntu logo kinda annoys me and disrespects the gnome project. | 11:00 |
| PerryArmstrong | Shoopuf; can you tell me where to upload..dont remember the site name | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | stevem_: the gnome foot, is the gnome logo, the ubuntu logo is completely different | 11:00 |

| ActionParsnip | stevem_: i think you are worrying too much about it | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | stevem_: i'm sure if the gnome team felt disrespected they would have said something to the devs | 11:03 |
| stevem_ | ActionParsnip, I don't like how Ubuntu brands the entire system and everything in it as Ubuntu... they never say what they fork from.. they barely even say it's GNU/Linux these days | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | stevem_: true | 11:03 |
| stevem_ | it's just *sparkle* Ubuntu | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | stevem_: a lot of users think Ubuntu IS linux and also dont know of other distros which is kinda sad | 11:04 |
| stevem_ | ActionParsnip, if Ubuntu messes up in the future it could hinder Linux uptake in general on desktops... theres too much of a 'fashion' statement about Ubuntu | 11:05 |
| koshari | ActionParsnip i think very few users would assume that ubuntu was the sole linux dizzy | 11:05 |
| stevem_ | And people go off fashions quickly | 11:05 |

| movedx | Hmm, has emacs always had an X86 interface or is there a version of it that runs in the terminal? | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Jimi_Neutral: ould run: gksudo nautilus and delete it there, why is terminal "annoying" | 11:14 |
| stevem_ | I'll go back to Debian anyway, still was nice speaking with you folks | 11:14 |
| stevem_ | I'll keep on backporting :D | 11:14 |
| joetheodd | movedx, X11? 80x86 is a processor. | 11:14 |
| joetheodd | movedx, and I'm not sure. :P | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Jimi_Neutral: the terminal offers a billion times more power than the gui | 11:15 |
| movedx | joakim-: Sorry X11 yes. Hmm ok. | 11:15 |
| user01 | should i just keep running hardy or upgrade to intrepid and later to jaunty on my laptop? | 11:15 |
| joetheodd | user01, i'd recommend intrepid. It's got all the latest goodies. | 11:15 |
| grobda24 | Hello. Anyone any idea why my pulseaudio stops playback when I switch to a virtual console outside of X ? | 11:15 |
| Jimi_Neutral | because i justw ant to right click and delete the file....not type out the long names and that | 11:15 |
| user01 | joetheodd, do i have to do a complete reinstall? | 11:16 |
| joetheodd | Jimi_Neutral, under normal circumstances (a file wasn't created by root), that's what you can usually do. | 11:16 |
| Jimi_Neutral | if i want to delete a file called 2009-03-31-12-img from and images fodler within home, what would i type | 11:16 |
| joetheodd | user01, nope. one sec and I'll find the instructions on the wiki | 11:16 |
| JScoobyCed | Hi. just bought a notebook compaq CQ, installed 8.10 (32bits and 64bits)..... I got the neverending "django-drum" problem | 11:17 |
| JScoobyCed | compaq CQ40 | 11:17 |
| joetheodd | Jimi_Neutral, the command 'rm' is remove. It's ' rm filename ', but you need to do it as superuser. The full command is: sudo rm 2009-03-31-12-img | 11:17 |
| BoltClock | oh, ive solved my problem, enabled backports and upgraded svn to 1.5.1 | 11:17 |
| user01 | i thought lts meant it would be stable and i wouldnt have to worry about upgrading until 2011 | 11:17 |
| Jimi_Neutral | ok ty and if there is more than one its just a space and then the next file name? | 11:18 |
| joetheodd | user01, lts is stable until 2011. You don't -need- to upgrade, it's strictly optional. | 11:18 |
| user01 | joetheodd, so what am i missing? | 11:18 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: sorry dad said to get off. but im allowed back now | 11:18 |
| === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away | ||
| === mafsi`away is now known as mafsi | ||
| joetheodd | user01, basically new software added to ubuntu overall, and updates to old programs. Security stuff is always added in old versions, so you don't have to worry about that. | 11:19 |
| oCean_ | !away > mafsi | 11:19 |
| ubottu | mafsi, please see my private message | 11:19 |
| koshari | Jimi_Neutral or an asterisk but BE CAREFULL as it will delete all the files in the dir | 11:19 |
| joetheodd | user01, basically nice stuff, but nothing important. | 11:19 |
| UKGent | If it was MS you would not need to upgrade for the next six years - if their past development cycle is anything to go by lol | 11:19 |
| jtaji | user01: stability has little to do with it, it's the length of time that updates are provided, I don't mind updating every 6 months or so on a laptop | 11:19 |
| jtaji | user01: err, upgrading every 6 months or so | 11:19 |
| === wers is now known as pogi | ||
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone tell me how to avoid those grey buttons on http://imagebin.ca/view/ZKqRpT.html | 11:19 |
| Jimi_Neutral | It says cannot delete file, no such file or directory | 11:19 |
| joetheodd | user01, to upgrade at any time, hit alt+f2 (to open the run box) and type 'update-manager -d' | 11:20 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: im getting , Connection Failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED | 11:20 |
| joetheodd | wait, is intrepid an lts? | 11:20 |
| user01 | jtaji, but it is safe now to just do an upgrade? earlier versions of ubuntu didnt upgrade so cleanly | 11:20 |
| jtaji | user01: since hardy I've experienced all flawless upgrades | 11:20 |
| koshari | Jimi_Neutral: then you have spelt it wrong, try using tab to autocomplete | 11:20 |
| chilli0 | brb | 11:20 |
| user01 | jtaji, that would be 1 upgrade? :) | 11:21 |
| joetheodd | I think the problem was switching from XFree86 to X11, but I could be 100% wrong. Either way, I think it's resolved now. | 11:21 |
| beniwtv | PerryArmstrong: What is is supposed to be? Flash? | 11:21 |
| PerryArmstrong | beniwtv; yes | 11:21 |

| Jimi_Neutral | it is spelt correctly.....do i not have to put the path in? | 11:22 |
| joetheodd | oCean_, he's probably actually away. Paging him over and over won't change anything. | 11:23 |
| beniwtv | PerryArmstrong: What version? Do other flash sites work? | 11:23 |
| KoolD | lshw -C display gives "*-display:0 UNCLAIMED" .How do i solve that?? | 11:23 |
| mafsi | joetheodd: is about me? | 11:23 |
| joetheodd | Jimi_Neutral, see what folder you're in on the left of the command line. type 'ls' to LiSt off the files in the directory. | 11:23 |
| joetheodd | mafsi, do you have an away message on? | 11:24 |
| mafsi | joetheodd: i installed a plugin for xchat and now i have set it to silent | 11:24 |

| beniwtv | PerryArmstrong: I also wonder why you've got 9, what version are you running? 8.04 / 8.10? | 11:27 |
| PerryArmstrong | beniwtv; 8.04..so what is the problem with 9 | 11:28 |
| jtaji | Jimi_Neutral: so from where you are now you can use: sudo rm images/2009-03-31-12-img | 11:28 |
| UKGent | or use thunar ! | 11:28 |
| beniwtv | PerryArmstrong: 9 had it's share of problems on Linux, 10 seems to be better... Maybe you could try that and see if you have the same issues. | 11:29 |
| PerryArmstrong | beniwtv; how do i get 10..can i directly upgrade it | 11:30 |
| beniwtv | PerryArmstrong: Uninstall 9 by removing flashplugin-nonfree, then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/, select Linux, then .deb (Ubuntu) and install via double-click | 11:31 |

| Shoopuf | Is it OK for my hard disk/computer if I'm running Ubuntu and playing MP3s from a NTFS partition? I'm paranoid that they don't mingle well together. | 12:28 |
| Shoopuf | Ubuntu is on an EXT3 partition, and my music is on an external USB drive that is NTFS | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Shoopuf: sure, no worries at all | 12:28 |
| Shoopuf | ActionParsnip: ok thanks :) | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Shoopuf: the kernel can read ntfs natively but needs extra functionality to write to it (and the write is mildly limited) | 12:29 |
| Shoopuf | I'm trying to copy a file to an EXT3 partition I made with GParted... When I try to copy a file to it it says "Permission denied" ... I tried checking the drive's Properties and it said that "The permissions of "Home" could not be determined." (Home is the name of the partition) | 12:31 |

| ikonia | Shoopuf: have you put a file system on the partition ? | 12:32 |
| jrib | Shoopuf: see if you can check the permissions if you use sudo too | 12:32 |
| utakbiya | hi everyone! how can you save a screen when in 3D box? what key will you press? thanks in advance...im just new in ubuntu | 12:33 |
| Shoopuf | Hmm, I might have created it while it was mounted... I remember having to fool around with it a lot before it finally formatted to EXT3. | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Shoopuf: if it's created while mounted you'll need to re-read the TOC on the disk | 12:34 |
| lockd | utakbiya: print screen key | 12:35 |

| Shoopuf | I did a "ls -al" in the /media directory and it says that that partition is "drwxr-xr-x" ... Looks like I just gotta turn on write.. Maybe | 12:36 |
| lockd | utakbiya: hmm, apparently that doesn't work. you might have to set it up as a timer | 12:36 |

| clearscreen | Akio: open synaptic, plenty of applications to choose from | 12:55 |
| Akio | Thanks. I looked through the add/remove program, but I don't know what would be useful yet | 12:56 |
| clearscreen | What's useful is whatever YOU are going to use :P | 12:56 |
| grawity | Akio: AdBlockPlus (if you use Firefox). A music player (Rhythmbox, Banshee, AmaroK). And... what programs you used most before Ubuntu? | 12:56 |
| clearscreen | there's decriptions with every software package in synaptic | 12:57 |
| AntiNeko | Akio: Is Lucidia Calligraphy integradet in Vista? | 12:57 |
| Akio | In the ultimate version, yes | 12:57 |
| raven | hi - is it possible to import AVIS from CANON CAM with THM Files or perhaps to write the time-dates into the video-tags? | 12:57 |
| AntiNeko | Akio: You can find your Vista-files by going to My Computer -> Filesystem -> host | 12:57 |
| grawity | clearscreen: Ubuntu's "Add/remove programs" is a little easier than Synaptic, i think... | 12:57 |
| Akio | Yeah, but can I install them directly from my Vista directory | 12:57 |
| Akio | Brb | 12:57 |
| sarmisak | raven: I have imported AVIs before, but you might need a IEEE1394 connection, I don't recall it well | 12:58 |

| ziroday | aitvara: you need to change everything that says edgy to intrepid | 13:39 |
| scunizi | Kahlil: I don't recognize that card.. check nvidia's site for the linux driver that is needed for it.. Ubuntu comes with version 173, 177 and an older one.. you can install newer ones manually. | 13:39 |
| aitvara | ok i'll try this | 13:39 |

| scunizi | ziroday: I think that link was for a different nick.. I'm not working with broadcom stuff. | 14:02 |
| aitvara | well I had a backup of the old sources.list , before run perl script | 14:03 |
| Defience | Jeruvy: I can get to Grub. Should I edit this line: (not exact) --set -root-ignore_floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/vmlinuz | 14:03 |
| ziroday | scunizi: the link should be pin | 14:03 |
| aitvara | but still was wrong , however | 14:03 |
| ziroday | scunizi: pink | 14:03 |
| Defience | Jeruvy: should it point elsewhere? | 14:03 |
| scunizi | zgmf-x20a: If by "here" you mean the machine that you want to get into from outside.. then yes.. that's how you set it up.. | 14:03 |
| ziroday | aitvara: well can you _manually_ change all the "edgy" to "intrepid" | 14:03 |
| aitvara | ok | 14:03 |

| mercutio22 | where is thrash folder? "whereis" reveals /usr/bin/thrash, but that aiin't no directory | 14:04 |
| zgmf-x20a | scunizi: ummmm as i understand it, in order to be able to accomplish this i have to use dynDNS and stuff or something. like, how exactly would i connect to it from outside? | 14:04 |
| Defience | Jeruvy: also, when I tried to make it /boot/grub/menu.lst I get Error 15: filename not found | 14:04 |

| Jeruvy | Defience: I can't be certain since I cannot see the partitions for real. You need to determine if the boot loader can be fixed, if not I'd just format f: and boot windows, run wubi and install. | 14:05 |

| scunizi | zgmf-x20a: that's an entirely different question.. dyndns is one way but not totally necessary.. it does help though, if your primary IP is always changing. basically from outside your lan you'd use vnc or rdesktop to connect to your primary IP address.. | 14:06 |

| aitvara | http://paste.ubuntu.com/142053/ | 14:06 |
| scunizi | zgmf-x20a: once, say tightvnc, is loaded you'd enter the IP of your home with the port number.. so 72.345.67.2:5900 ... from that point your router will see info coming in on that port and transfer it to your machine using port forwarding. | 14:07 |

| Tvoq-nick|1| | #bulgaria | 14:08 |
| ziroday | seutje: you should do sudo -i :) | 14:08 |
| Tvoq-nick|1| | ARE VLIZAI TE | 14:08 |
| scunizi | zgmf-x20a: dyndns sets things up so you don't have to mess with IP numbers.. just enter the domain name you choose and the port number.. like zgmf-x20a.isa-geek.com:5900 ... by the way isa-geek.com IS one of their domain names. | 14:09 |
| seutje | ziroday: why is that? hosting company sent me a mail that said use "su" :x | 14:09 |
| ziroday | Tvoq-nick|1|: is there something we can help you with? | 14:09 |
| ziroday | seutje: sudo -i is more secure then su, I don't have the exact arguement on me but I'm sure google would find it | 14:09 |
| aitvara | ziroday http://paste.ubuntu.com/142057/ | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | zgmf-x20a: use ssh on the server and you can run all apps remotely and file access | 14:09 |
| seutje | ziroday: oh... thanks I'll look into it ^^ | 14:09 |
| ziroday | aitvara: and you are certain you are connected to the internet? | 14:10 |
| aitvara | well su is for change the user , asking in the same time the password , sudo is for do as superuser | 14:10 |
| aitvara | yeah i'm | 14:10 |
| aitvara | no iptables,no firewall at router | 14:10 |
| scunizi | zgmf-x20a: what ActionParsnip says is another method so you don't have to mess with vnc or rdesktop.. it's also more secure. however doing X over ssh requires some patients in the beginning. | 14:10 |

| myk_robinson | i need help writing a small bash script. I have Vuze in a folder, and I want to add a script to /usr/local/bin to allow me to run vuze as an executable from Alt+F2. The executable location is /home/myk/Downloads/Vuze/vuze and the executable file name is ./vuze | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | grey08: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96; sudo nvidia-xconfig | 14:41 |
| grey08 | i have downloaded all the "nvidia" related field, but when i reboot, it came out " can not found kernel module" | 14:41 |
| Jimi_Neutral | Scunizi: Well the thing is this image I am taking at the moment is just to see if I have Clonezilla set up right and I am using Clonezilla because it supports multicasting. We will be getting 40 or so identical laptops for our business which will need cloning. So I cant use partimage, unless it now supports multicasting. | 14:41 |
| grey08 | o, i iwill try sudo command first | 14:42 |
| scunizi | Jimi_Neutral: I don't think it does | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | grey08: you need some extra bits that will be done post install with the command i gave you | 14:42 |
| grey08 | alright | 14:42 |
| Jimi_Neutral | scunizi: Neither do I, the last thing I read says it does not. So you see I really need to get this working :s | 14:42 |
| Jimi_Neutral | Clonezilla I mean | 14:43 |
| scunizi | Jimi_Neutral: I've never used clonezilla but others here have .. hopefully there's someone awake that will guide you. | 14:43 |
| Ganseki | notwist: Does your server have the same IP as your your domain? | 14:44 |
| notwist | I mean, when I installed ubuntu I remember that i filled in "domain" which is now used for ex. as default in irssi | 14:44 |
| notwist | Ganseki: the domain is pointing to the ip, yes, so if i go to the domain i get my web server | 14:44 |
| alienkid | is there a DMZ-white cursor set for Windows? | 14:44 |

| notwist | Ganseki: basically when I email for example through mutt it assumes the wrong domain | 14:46 |
| notwist | Ganseki: it assumes host.myisp.com but i want my domain to be assumed as default instead for the server | 14:46 |
| Ganseki | notwist: Are you having a static IP on the server or through DHCP? | 14:47 |
| anooptp | hi | 14:47 |
| alice|wl | for some reason I have pam_smbpass in some pam configs. I dont need it and want to get rid of it. Can anybody guide me a bit as I m not keen on locking me out or similar. | 14:47 |
| Ganseki | notwist: Sounds like DHCP through your ISP | 14:47 |
| * grawity greets anooptp. | 14:47 | |
| anooptp | is there any image viewer which can display psd files other than gimp | 14:47 |
| alice|wl | maybe I can just deinstall something ... | 14:47 |
| notwist | Ganseki: I have a static ip from my ISP | 14:47 |
| Ropechoborra | I installed amarok and the ubuntu-restricted-extras but it doesnt play mp3 files yet. any ideas? | 14:48 |
| notwist | Ganseki: in that it never changes but I get it via DHCP (dont enter it manually) | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ropechoborra: it needs a codec | 14:48 |
| scunizi | notwist: Ganseki perhaps a line change in muttrc? | 14:48 |

| Ropechoborra | ActionParsnip, here it say that libxine-extracodecs is old or something like that, and some other is refered. libxine1-ffmpeg | 14:51 |
| Ropechoborra | is it the same? | 14:51 |
| Jimi_Neutral | scunizi: Well im no further to sorting it but at least you answered me. Thats adding more to my faith in the Linux flavour comunity and pushing me towards using it at home. | 14:51 |
| anooptp | can some one help me? | 14:51 |
| Jimi_Neutral | anooptp: What with? | 14:51 |
| anooptp | image viewer | 14:52 |
| notwist | scunizi: im just wondering generally if i can change some setting so that my server knows that domain.com is pointing to it's ip so that's the default to use for everything basically | 14:52 |
| anooptp | which can take psd file | 14:52 |
| notwist | scunizi: so irssi automatically uses me@mydomain.com etc. | 14:52 |
| anooptp | other than gimp | 14:52 |

| Ubersoldat | ginbuntu: you'll need to download the sources and compile | 14:53 |
| grey08 | my resolutio i sonly 800x 600 | 14:54 |
| Jimi_Neutral | I get the feeling there are a lot of people moving from windows to linux. Purley because the amount of people that I have seen in here just since I have been coming here in the last 2 days asking about Nvidia Drivers. | 14:54 |
| ginbuntu | Ubersoldat, I don't mind compiling, any tutorial? | 14:54 |
| grey08 | my resolution is only 800x600 | 14:54 |
| scunizi | notwist: let me see if I understand correctly. You have a server at home and bought a domain name that you want to attach to it.. it's currently pointed at your IP but you need Apache to recognize the IP? not sure how irssi comes into this unless there's info you're leaving out. | 14:54 |
| Ubersoldat | not that I know of, try on kde's site... It'll take a while thought | 14:54 |

| scunizi | Ganseki: that's not true.. by installing the official driver from nvidia it will not remove all the nvidia stuff that ubuntu puts in.. you have to remove it using synaptic first before installing the nvidia downloaded driver otherwise you risk borking your system .. <--- grey08 | 15:02 |

| notwist | brb | 15:04 |

| ActionParsnip | anooptp: because its adobe being annoying and keeping their stuff close to their chest (like flash) | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | anooptp: the only real people who know about the data layout in psd is adobe and they suck | 15:06 |
| scunizi | grey08: if you haven't tried the driver in System>Admin>Hardware drivers then try that first. otherwise installing the driver from nivdia follow thier instructions | 15:06 |
| anooptp | ActionParsnip yes | 15:07 |
| scunizi | notwist: you here? | 15:07 |
| anooptp | ActionParsnip like pagemaker file too | 15:07 |

| LjL | shadeslayer: then select "Write", and the "Quit". be careful what you do with cfdisk anyway. | 15:43 |
| Digital_Pioneer | storbeck: Reasonable, so is there a place I can download one I'm sure has all of those drivers? | 15:43 |
| simplexio | Digital_Pioneer: attleast in one point you could install it from livecd and then use 3rd party repos to make it really work good | 15:43 |

| DSpair | Lego_Dan, It should work fine on Ubuntu using the Restricted Drivers package. | 15:54 |
| LjL | shadeslayer: recovery would be best if you actually use it to re-write a partition table, but as long as you're just simulating it, you can do it anywhere | 15:54 |
| LiteShade | would like to be able to open a document first instead of opening the default (template) the a document, also wish that the document could be placed on the task(?) bar, so that I could click the icon, instead of having to open the OO Calc program.; Thanks | 15:54 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 15:54 |
| Ubersoldat | Tokenekie: then just boot to the Live system and do "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" | 15:54 |
| sdls | Kesman: so if I wanted to put Ubuntu in my office place. I would likely use the desktop edition for all end users, but the servers (eg, a poweredge 1850 hosting our company webserver) would use the server edition? | 15:54 |

| Ubersoldat | you don't need to chroot nowhere | 15:54 |
| Digital_Pioneer | Lego_Dan: A real card will almost always outperform on-board. | 15:55 |
| Ropechoborra | Tokenekie, with chroot you make the folder as it was the root folder. So if you have the USB mounted to /media/usb then do sudo chroot /media/usb and then the update with apt-get | 15:55 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, I can't guarantee that, but it certainly does in my experience. | 15:55 |

| Kesman_ | remove space | 15:57 |
| Ubersoldat | Tokenekie: I don't know how you can update only a package | 15:57 |
| platypus_ | i compiled mine sep GibbaTehHutt since the repos dont work for my card | 15:57 |
| Ropechoborra | Tokenekie, did you boot from the live usb ? I mean, are you in that ubuntu now? | 15:57 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, The "ps" command on BSD style is usually "ps -ef" for detailed process listing. On Linux it's SysV style and so uses "ps ax" for detail process listing. | 15:57 |
| Ropechoborra | Ubersoldat, i think if you try to install the package it will update it.. | 15:57 |
| GibbaTehHutt | platypus_, every time there are kernel updates you will need to recompile it, pretty straight forward, just as you did before | 15:57 |
| Tokenekie | Ropechoborra: Yes, I did an fdisk -l and found my usb to be /dev/sdb | 15:57 |
| platypus_ | GibbaTehHutt, interesting | 15:58 |
| Ubersoldat | hmmm... certainly | 15:58 |
| Ubersoldat | let me try | 15:58 |
| Ubersoldat | Ropechoborra: you're right | 15:59 |
| Ropechoborra | Tokenekie, but are you using ubuntu from the LiveUSB or an ubuntu installed in a hard drive? | 15:59 |
| platypus_ | GibbaTehHutt, I'll give that a shot, thanks | 15:59 |
| Tokenekie | Ropechoborra: Ubuntu from live USB | 15:59 |
| Ropechoborra | Damn... i dont know how to say it in english :( | 15:59 |
| Ropechoborra | Tokenekie, so then forget chroot :) | 15:59 |
| Lego_Dan | ok sorry, knock at the door, so I missed that its "something" and not "this" ?? | 15:59 |
| Ropechoborra | Tokenekie, do the sudo apt-get install (bbloothot package) | 16:00 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, The "ps" command on BSD style is usually "ps -ef" for detailed process listing. On Linux it's SysV style and so uses "ps ax" for detail process listing. | 16:00 |
| prince_jammys | DSpair: upside down? | 16:00 |
| Tokenekie | Ropechoborra: Ah, yes like I was telling Ubersoldat, I want to make sure I update only my bluetooth package and not everything else. I dont have that much space on my flash drive | 16:00 |
| Ropechoborra | Tokenekie, Yeap, so put only the bluetooth package in the apt-get install command | 16:01 |
| Lego_Dan | ah.. i don't know either command :P im still pretty new i use ps auxx for something but don't remember what | 16:01 |

| Lego_Dan | um, will kubuntu install over my xp partion and still let me use my bsd partion | 16:02 |
| Ropechoborra | It may be usefull | 16:02 |
| Tokenekie | Ropechoborra: ITs just the bluetooth package that comes with the live CD .iso | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | Tokenekie, or just simple aptitude search <package> | 16:02 |

| DSpair | Lego_Dan, Yes, by default it uses GRUB, but it can also use LILO | 16:04 |
| Ropechoborra | Tokenekie, there is a package called "Bluetooth" (Bluetooth stack utilities) you may try that one... I'm not sure | 16:04 |
| kennethreitz | Has anyone considered mergine Debian and Ubuntu? What does Ubuntu do that goes against Debian's philosophy? | 16:04 |
| Lego_Dan | LILO is the bsd one correct? does it matter which I use? i do know that if i re-install xp it messes the boot manager up and I can't access bsd anymore | 16:04 |
| Tokenekie | mbeierl: Ropechoborra: Is there a way to search for the name of the bluetooth package installed on your live USB already? I did a "sudo apt-cache search bluetooth" but, yeah, it gave me alot of results | 16:04 |
| mbeierl | oh, sorry what is installed already | 16:05 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, Not too much. I find that GRUB works in 99%, but sometimes hardware like high end servers work better with LILO | 16:05 |
| Ubersoldat | Tokenekie: just check the first column. If you've got an "i" it's installed | 16:05 |
| mbeierl | Tokenekie, what is installed already is through dpkg -l | grep name | 16:05 |
| GibbaTehHutt | kennethreitz, ubuntu is based on debian, so not much point really, different philosophies :) | 16:05 |
| digifor | I am starting to think my brand new acer aspire one hard drive has failed. | 16:05 |
| Lego_Dan | ah ok, well this ain't no high end server :P so im sure GRUB will be fine, thanks :) i just don't want to mess my bsd if i get kubuntu installed and get lost :P | 16:06 |
| Lego_Dan | thanks :) | 16:06 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, I just got a new Sun server which couldn't use GRUB, but LILO worked out of the box. It turned out to be the fact that the server had UEFI instead of a standard BIOS. | 16:06 |
| Ropechoborra | Ubersoldat, first column where? | 16:06 |
| wad | Running compiz under Ubuntu, with the nifty rotating desktop cube. Is there a way to put a different background image on each face of the cube? I've looked all through the options, and I don't see a way... | 16:06 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, No problem. | 16:06 |
| Ubersoldat | Ropechoborra: on the output of aptitude | 16:06 |
| lfaraone | How can I grep a file (HTML) for IP addresses? (they may be inside other words, such as foo://192.168.1.1/bar) | 16:06 |
| Ropechoborra | wad, did you try changing background image of each desktop ? | 16:06 |
| mbeierl | Tokenekie, example: | 16:07 |
| mbeierl | dpkg -l | grep blue | 16:07 |
| mbeierl | ii bluetooth 4.32-0ubuntu3 Bluetooth support | 16:07 |
| wad | Ropechoborra, no! Good idea. | 16:07 |
| DSpair | wad, There is, but it's an additional program. | 16:07 |
| Tokenekie | Ubersoldat: I dont think I see the "i"'s but mbeierl's method gave me a really good result. So I think I'll continue from there | 16:07 |
| Lego_Dan | is bind the default nameserver on ubuntu? | 16:07 |
| kennethreitz | tokenekie: sudo apt-get install bluez or something along those lines | 16:07 |
| kennethreitz | it has a z in it. | 16:07 |
| DSpair | wad, Look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482505 | 16:07 |
| Lego_Dan | like i have bind, apache, php5, mysql, blah blah.. and basically want the exact same setup plus openpanel | 16:07 |
| Ubersoldat | uh, sorry, it's just that I always use aptitude, not apt | 16:07 |
| wad | When I change the image on one facet of the cube, it changes all of them. | 16:07 |
| * wad clicks DSpair's link | 16:07 | |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, Yes, BIND 9 is the default in Ubuntu. | 16:07 |
| Tokenekie | mbeierl: Ubersoldat: Live USB says i have "bluetooth" and "libbluetooth3" installed so I think ill update those | 16:07 |
| Lego_Dan | sweet so it shouldn't be too hard for me to get it up and running the exact same.. possibly use the exact same *.conf files? | 16:08 |
| willbeeler | Hey guys! | 16:08 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, You'll probably be a convert the first time you fire up synaptic. The package manager on Ubuntu is AWESOME. | 16:08 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, The same conf files will probably work as long as you adjust the paths to suit the new filesystem layout. | 16:09 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| ChrizC | Ubuntu's telling me to put in a rewriteable cd into my CD-RW drive, but there's already one in there? Why won't it write? | 16:09 |
| Lego_Dan | convert? you mean like pull the configs from bsd and put them right into ubunto | 16:09 |
| willbeeler | Ok, I dont' know if any of you have done much in the way of SSL certificates and Ubuntu server, but I have a question if you have... | 16:09 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, So, in apache.conf, you may have to change the web root path to "/var/www" or things like that. | 16:09 |
| Ubersoldat | ChrizC: maybe you need to format it first | 16:10 |
| Lego_Dan | ah.. cool. | 16:10 |
| ChrizC | Ubersoldat: the cd, or the drive? | 16:10 |
| Lego_Dan | i heard that the file system is significantly different | 16:10 |
| Ubersoldat | the CD... how are you going to format a drive? | 16:10 |
| ChrizC | Ubersoldat: I really don't know. Anyway, how do I format the CD? | 16:10 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, You might want to look at the Linux Standards Base docs to see where files are typically found on Ubuntu. I know that the Apache configuration files on Ubuntu were weird to me when I switched. | 16:10 |
| mistereo075 | hi | 16:11 |
| Lego_Dan | there is a find files and folders isn't there? | 16:11 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, Ubuntu devides Apache configurations into "include" files for each module and that modules configuration. | 16:11 |
| Lego_Dan | so i should be ok :) if not google does it all :P | 16:11 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, And IRC covers the rest! :) | 16:12 |
| willbeeler | Has anyone worked with Installing SSL CA's Certs before? | 16:12 |
| Lego_Dan | LOL yup, kubuntu download is at 41% so Im sure you guys will be hearing from me some point after that :P | 16:12 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, The "find" command seems to work the same as other *NIX variants I have used in the past. KDE also has a graphical search tool. | 16:12 |
| Tokenekie | Ubersoldat: mbeierl: It worked. I did the "dkpg -l | grep bluetooth" to find my installed packaged. Then activated the "universe" repository thru synaptic. Then "sudo apt-get install bluetooth libbluetooth3". It is apparently the most recent version. Thank you. | 16:12 |
| === nicholas is now known as Guest55875 | ||
| Lego_Dan | yea i like the kde search feature but its seems a tad slow | 16:13 |
| Lego_Dan | meh | 16:13 |
| mbeierl | Tokenekie: you're welcome! Glad it worked! | 16:13 |
| Ubersoldat | Tokenekie: good... but you'll lose all of that once you reboot | 16:13 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, I think switching from BSD to Ubuntu will be a lot easier than when I tried to get back up to speed on Solaris a couple of months ago. Gawd!! That was horrible. | 16:13 |
| aaron1 | hello | 16:13 |
| DSpair | Hello aaron1 | 16:14 |
| aaron1 | is there a way to make pigeon not close when i click on the X | 16:14 |
| Lego_Dan | LOL, well i think my pro here is that i haven't learned half the in's and out's of bsd | 16:14 |
| Tokenekie | Ubersoldat: I created the liveUSB using the System->Administration tools and allocated 1.2 gigs to save system settings so I'm hoping that would allow me to save updated packaged. It currently saves my desktop settings. | 16:14 |
| aq | helooo | 16:14 |
| DSpair | aaron1, You can configure pigeon to minimize to the tray on close, but you can't disable the close button complete. | 16:14 |
| DSpair | s/complete/completely/ | 16:15 |

| Lego_Dan | oh kora brought up another question in BSD i mount my usb with "# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt" is it the same in ubuntu? | 16:18 |
| babybluesman | Hi everyone. I'm looking for a laptop. PC, Lightweight, Non-Glossy between 500-1000 bones. Similar maybe to a Think Pad. Any suggestions? | 16:18 |
| Picassotamus | kora-chan: Do you have the ntfs-3g package installed? that would be step 1 | 16:18 |
| Myrtti | Lego_Dan: mount points tend to be in /media, otherwise yes | 16:18 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, No, it will automatically show up as an Icon on your desktop when you plug it in. | 16:18 |
| ZarroBoogs | babybluesman: Try asking in ##hardware | 16:19 |
| Lego_Dan | even though its msdosfs? | 16:19 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, To unmount, you just right-click and select "Unmount" | 16:19 |
| kora-chan | Picassotamus: i can mount it using the mount -t ntfs-3g command | 16:19 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, Yup. | 16:19 |
| babybluesman | Ok, thanks | 16:19 |
| Lego_Dan | thats slick... they need to add that to bsd | 16:19 |
| kora-chan | Picassotamus: ill check if its installed mom | 16:19 |
| Lego_Dan | sorry all the talk of bsd.. but its all i know at this point :( that will soon change :P | 16:19 |
| kora-chan | Picassotamus: yap its there | 16:20 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, Linux has a service called "UDEV" which monitors the kernel for new hardware events. It then passes that information on to "DBUS" which allows for automatic actions to be implemented for all sorts of hardware events. | 16:20 |
| natsukashi_ | Is it hard to install Debian? | 16:20 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, I have a USB TV tuner, and when I plug it in, it automatically launches XawTV. Fun stuff. | 16:21 |
| Lego_Dan | hmm.. in compiz manager DBUS refuses to be enabled.. does that mean I have problems with it.. and will that cause problems in ubuntu. | 16:21 |
| kora-chan | Picassotamus: do i have to modify fstab or is there an alternative? | 16:21 |
| virus_ | hey everybody! i have a problem with my touchpad | 16:21 |
| Ropechoborra | natsukashi_, Its not the Ubuntu graphic like install but the theory is just the same :PP | 16:21 |
| DSpair | Lego_Dan, I doubt it. DBUS isn't installed on BSD by default, and that is likely why Compix cannot use it on BSD. | 16:21 |

| ___n00b___ | hello all | 16:22 |

| LargePrime | Ubersoldat: can i make appointments and notes for them? | 16:33 |
| Ubersoldat | Jimbo__: that's ok... but I wouldn't be messing with a compiler if you're a noob | 16:33 |
| Lego_Dan | thats what im hoping :) im sure the radeon 2400 HD will severly out proform the intel card.. | 16:33 |
| meinte | Jimbo__, don't forget to "sudo make install" | 16:33 |
| meinte | instead of just make install | 16:33 |
| macman_ | if i have a 177gig folder .. if i rar it and split the rar files and then bzip2 it or lzma it will it compress further ? | 16:33 |
| Lego_Dan | do i have to sudo in ubuntu or is su the same still? | 16:33 |
| grawity | Jimbo__: tar should have created a new directory in your homedir. For example, if you had test-1.2.tar.gz, the folder would be named test-1.2/ -- so use 'cd' to go into that dir, and then run the ./configure command. | 16:33 |
| grawity | Lego_Dan: sudo. | 16:33 |
| Lego_Dan | ah | 16:33 |
| theD3viL11 | Lego_Dan: sudo | 16:34 |

| prince_jammys | mar77i: good question. you can't get to a console the usual way? | 16:40 |

| hanthana| | how to disable desktop effects in kubuntu, no way to use GUI, is there any way to disable it in cli? | 16:41 |
| thom__ | <Lego_Dan> I'm using Ubuntu | 16:41 |
| thom__ | <Lego_Dan> I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 | 16:42 |
| Lego_Dan | yea i know ... .but i thought i would try.. :P im getting ready to install ubuntu, and need to figure out which commands will transfer over .. sorry | 16:42 |
| hanthana| | not geeting any desktop icons, just blank screen | 16:42 |
| Lego_Dan | and i thought it might be lucky if it worked | 16:42 |
| prince_jammys | hehe | 16:42 |

| Blackshark | hi. i've got a problem with booting my server machine after upgrading the ram from 2gigs to 4 gigs. the error i am getting is something like "softreset failed (1st FIS failed) | 16:43 |
| Blackshark | when i switch back to 2gigs the system is booting successfully | 16:43 |
| Lavandergirl | Blackshark: 32bit OS? | 16:44 |
| LjL | Blackshark: sounds like bad RAM, have you used memtest? | 16:44 |
| thom__ | ZarroBoogs : OK thanks | 16:44 |
| Lego_Dan | will a i386 boot with 4 gb | 16:44 |
| mar77i | I'm trying to boot to rl 4 or so... looking at the grub option on auntie google | 16:44 |
| LjL | Lego_Dan: yes, it just won't see all of them | 16:44 |
| Kurlon | What is the proper chan to ask questions in reguards to Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope? (Or is this the right place?) | 16:44 |
| Blackshark | 64 bit ubuntu 8.04 | 16:44 |
| papu | Hello everybody, i'm total newbie, does your help also includes Xubuntu | 16:44 |
| LjL | !jaunty > Kurlon (Kurlon, see the private message from ubottu) | 16:44 |
| Lego_Dan | ah. ok | 16:44 |
| hanthana| | which file i should edit to disable desktop effects? | 16:44 |
| genii | Kurlon: #ubuntu+1 | 16:44 |
| LjL | papu: yes, although there's also a specific #xubuntu channel you can use | 16:44 |
| Lavandergirl | have you run memtest? might be a bad module | 16:44 |
| Blackshark | LjL: i am 100% sure about the ram working correctly | 16:44 |
| LjL | Blackshark: how do you know that? | 16:45 |
| digifor | if mkfs.ext2 freezes while writing inode tables 267/1193...does that mean hd failure? | 16:45 |

| rackerhacker | anyone pretty familiar with LVM that could take a look at a wild error on Ubuntu 7.10? | 16:45 |
| Lego_Dan | i dunno man.. i had some ram recently that seemed to run stable but my windows system blue screen periodically.. memtest failed it 100 000 in under 2mins | 16:45 |
| LjL | Blackshark: well, it might not have been seated well, or may have got damaged during the move | 16:45 |
| LjL | Blackshark: although the error you mention should be SATA-related i think (but then bad RAM might cause any sort of error) | 16:46 |
| digifor | disregard | 16:46 |
| mar77i | strange though, I had a xorg working before with some arch-like linux... | 16:46 |
| papu | I want to install Tibia player for my friend (don't even ask :) ) and on my laptop it doesn't even start. No debug info, just nothing. On Ubuntu it's the same | 16:46 |
| Lego_Dan | i agree with LjL after the catastrophy i had with my ram | 16:46 |
| Blackshark | LjL: okay i'll do a memtest on the ram and get back to you when i find something | 16:47 |
| thom__ | Umm how to solve USB-Flash disk that 'read-only system'?? | 16:47 |
| LjL | Blackshark: i think it's a good idea. you don't need to run a very long memtest anyway, just do a quick check, 5 minutes or so | 16:47 |
| LjL | thom__: what filesystem is there on it? | 16:47 |
| thom__ | Fat32 | 16:48 |
| thom__ | LjL : Fat32 | 16:48 |
| LjL | thom__: did you mount it manually? | 16:48 |
| thom__ | LjL : automatic by my machine | 16:48 |
| LjL | thom__: where is it mounted? (should be /media/disk or somesuch) | 16:48 |
| thom__ | LjL : but it solved if I got Windos and do attrib on it | 16:49 |
| LjL | hm? | 16:49 |
| hanthana| | LjL: PING | 16:49 |
| Lego_Dan | ok all, well thanks for the info, I'll be back after i muck the kubuntu install :P | 16:49 |
| thom__ | LjL " yeah in /media/ | 16:49 |
| LjL | hanthana|: PONG | 16:50 |
| LjL | thom__: /media/what? do "ls -ld" on it and check the permissions | 16:50 |
| hanthana| | LjL: is there any way to disable desktop effects by editing a text file ? i mean if we can not access GUI | 16:50 |
| thom__ | LjL : for information, It usually coz the Flash-disk was from Windows with Virus influenced | 16:50 |
| LjL | hanthana|: i have no idea | 16:50 |
| wever | Is there a reason for xorg to have to separate processes? | 16:51 |

| the10nitro | I don't suppose there is an option to do like "wget -N address", but only check the timestamp, not size? | 16:53 |
| papu | Can anyone help a total newbie on priv? | 16:53 |
| LjL | vigo: you want to start a *graphical* app at boot? that doesn't seem like a good idea. which firewall is that anyway? | 16:53 |
| Mean_Admin | so here I am, trying smbumount and getting "Device busy" answer | 16:54 |
| vigo | LjL: Firestarter | 16:54 |
| regeya | if it's firestarter, it uses an init script; the gui app is just a frontend | 16:54 |
| vigo | Thank you | 16:54 |
| LjL | vigo: what regeya said. i can't see a valid reason to start the GUI of it on boot. | 16:54 |
| Mean_Admin | so then, what's up, how am I supposed to unmount a samba share ? | 16:55 |

| tuxtox | Hi! I install 8.1 on a partition that was factory made. The other partition has windows vista. I cannot see the windows partition in ubuntu, and I cannot see the ubuntu partition in windows. How do I fix that? | 16:56 |
| sachael | does anyone remember the terminal command which gives info about a window you click on? | 16:56 |
| the10nitro | Is there a way to get a file only if the timestamp is newer than the local copy? "wget -N" gets the file if they are different in size. I don't want it to check size. | 16:56 |
| LjL | sachael: xwininfo | 16:56 |
| hbekel | sachael: xprop, xwininfo | 16:56 |
| arkanabar | tuxtox: for vista, download & install ext2IFS | 16:56 |

| tuxtox | arkanabar download that in ubuntu? using the syn. pac. man.? | 16:57 |
| Lego_Dan | ok whats a LAMP server? do I not just install each separately (apache, php, mysql, openpanel, etc) | 16:57 |
| Pupuser402-1 | !lamp | 16:57 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:57 |
| papu | I want to install Tibia player for my friend (don't even ask :) ) and on my laptop it doesn't even start. No debug info, just nothing. On Ubuntu it's the same. What may be the problem? | 16:58 |
| Lego_Dan | ok so i dont' have to but its a way to speed up the process, basically | 16:58 |
| Lego_Dan | like a all in one package | 16:58 |
| sachael | omg, is there a way to turn the awful pink skin of ubuntuforums? it is really embarassing >:( | 16:59 |

| qimo | hello,everybody | 17:01 |
| Ubersoldat | why everyone uses apt instead of aptitude? | 17:01 |
| Lego_Dan | and after that just add the mail server stuff/ ftp and openpanel and done ? | 17:01 |
| grawity | Ubersoldat: probably because it works better for "everyone" | 17:01 |
| qimo | ???no one chat with me? | 17:02 |
| Lego_Dan | I will chat with you qimo | 17:02 |
| * grawity greets qimo. | 17:02 | |
| Lego_Dan | whats up :P | 17:02 |
| the10nitro | yeah, the install process will ask you to set up a MySQL password | 17:02 |
| arkanabar | tuxtox: no. ext2IFS lets Windows (2K, Vista, XP, and even Me) read linux file systems. google, download, and install it in vista. | 17:02 |
| arkanabar | tuxtox: to see vista partition in Ubuntu, you have to mount the partition, which usually requires a password. | 17:02 |
| Droopsta915 | is there such a thing as a automotive chat room around here? | 17:03 |

| the10nitro | wget -N checks timestamps and filesize, to see if they have changed. What if I only want to check timestamps | 17:05 |
| scunizi | sauce: no need if you installed from the ubuntu repos .. like from synaptic or aptitude or apt-get.. let their servers hold it for you | 17:05 |

| midkniht | arkanabar, is that like arkansas? | 17:06 |
| arin | HDLJKHD' | 17:06 |
| the10nitro | It's not about partial downloads, it's about compressed files. | 17:06 |
| arthurL | lianimator: Torrents | 17:06 |
| scunizi | vigo: start with http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html and then check www.scribd.com for other ubuntu/linux pdf that are downloadable or viewable.. for real paper I enjoyed "Beginning Ubuntu Linux by Thomas | 17:07 |
| lianimator | arthurL: that wasn't my question though. I'm trying to download WoP.. | 17:07 |
| the10nitro | lianimator: wget handles that pretty well | 17:07 |
| hybr1der | i dont really get this with samba, am i supposed to be able to use ubuntus accounts, so that a windows machine wants to access ubuntu it uses ubuntus accounts to login? | 17:07 |
| sauce | so i found my driver in synaptics manager | 17:08 |
| sauce | does it stay on the server? | 17:09 |
| scunizi | sauce: then you got it from the ubuntu repositories.. no need to back up the driver.. you'd have to do it with the .deb file anyway not the raw driver files that are installed. | 17:09 |
| lianimator | the10nitro: thanks. man wget for me | 17:09 |
| LargePrime | is their a recommended PDF editor? | 17:09 |
| sauce | so when i do a reinstall all i have to do is open the synaptic manager and reinstall fwcutter? | 17:09 |
| ZarroBoogs | hybr1der: Yes. | 17:09 |
| vigo | scunizi: Thank you. | 17:09 |
| scunizi | LargePrime: the one I've finally gotten to work well for me is pdfedit. It's in the repos.. add and delete pages, annotate etc.. | 17:10 |
| scunizi | vigo: np | 17:10 |
| the10nitro | question: wget -N checks timestamps and filesize, to see if they have changed. What if I only want to check timestamps? | 17:10 |
| clearscreen | !repeat | the10nitro | 17:10 |

| 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. | 17:15 |

| debsan | lantjie, it depends on what you want to program. but yes, its good and easy. | 18:20 |
| nvstp1 | busybox is in initrd | 18:20 |
| lantjie | debson:i want to make programs. | 18:20 |
| nvstp1 | Steven3k, the commands you can use in initrd are supported by busybox | 18:21 |
| Steven3k | nvstp1, thanks. no other binaries are included by default? | 18:21 |
| rkvirani | Whats that command to bring up the ubuntu-server installer? | 18:21 |
| lantjie | hey the guy who is looking for initrd read this first.http://ww2.cs.fsu.edu/~rosentha/linux/2.6.26.5/docs/initrd.txt | 18:22 |

| n3rd4i | well i want to get the same thing as in WINODWS when i do LINK to as spec file | 18:28 |

| scunizi | LargePrime: most anything is better then pidgin.. pidgin is a great IM client but not an IRC client.. irssi works great and for the gui xchat | 18:28 |
| AntiNeko | Is there any way to restore sound settings and packages to default? | 18:28 |
| jrib | n3rd4i: you want a symlink (ln -s TARGET NAME). symlinks are better than window's shortcuts | 18:28 |
| grawity | jrib: not always. | 18:28 |

| edward_ | please to meet u | 18:50 |
| DSpair | jjjj5555, Probably /usr/local/bin | 18:50 |
| sl00 | DSpair: Nothing happened really. Same resolution. Only difference is that gnome did not start at all. Just a grey background and a X mouse pointer. | 18:50 |

| freelanceweb | I am trying to get openSSH 5.1 on my 7.10 box. How do I go about that? | 18:50 |
| sl00 | DSpair: If I read the xorg.conf.new it craeted it seems to select the "openchrome" driver for my card. Seems correct since it is a VIA S3 UniChrome | 18:51 |
| DSpair | sl00, Try renaming your X config file to something else and not having an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on the system and restart X. Then bulletproof X should try to start up with sane defaults. | 18:51 |

| kaiden | Any Synergy users here? I connect from Ubuntu 9.04 (Client) to Windows (Host) for my mouse / keyboard. When I move my mouse over the mouse hits that computer and sticks in the upper left hand corner. Keyboard works fine. Mouse clicks work fine but the mouse never moves. Any ideas? | 18:52 |
| DSpair | nvstp, It probably is a good thing, but nobody every teaches that to newbs. | 18:52 |

| madalin | can anyone help me install a Winfast TV 2100 ? I've only found tutorials and such that relate to TV 2000.. | 18:52 |
| Mr_Molez | does anyone know how i would make kdm start after rc.local ? (lower rc.locals run level or increase kdms run level ) ? | 18:52 |
| DSpair | nvstp, So, they end up with a single partition for "/" (the default for Ubuntu). | 18:53 |
| sl00 | DSpair: How do I find out which config it uses when I jsut type startx then? | 18:53 |
| sl00 | DSpair: I have renamed the one in /etc/X11 | 18:53 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: uhm, that would likely result in losing upstart's asynchronous capabilities - in plain english, very much increased boot time | 18:53 |
| dto | hi. anyone here with experience with psubuntu? it hangs on booting after a line about USB bus being deregistered | 18:53 |
| LargePrime | I reallly like ubuntu. so i got irssi from the repo and installed. how come it has not shown up in applications? | 18:53 |
| dto | during the install process | 18:53 |
| nvstp | PerryArmstrong, even so, you can only choose to upgrade to 8.10 now | 18:54 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: anyway, it would involve using "update-rc.d" to change the properties of the /etc/init.d/rc.local script | 18:54 |
| DSpair | sl00, X will almost always only use /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:54 |
| PerryArmstrong | nvsip; why wat happened now?? | 18:54 |
| sl00 | DSpair: Hmm okey. I tried 'startx' and it looks the same :( | 18:54 |
| madalin | anyone can provide a link on how i could install a Winfast TV 2100 ? | 18:54 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: actually, i think i just said nonsense - more likely you'd have to add a dependency on rc.local into /etc/init.d/kdm | 18:54 |
| Mr_Molez | LjL: thanks.. I noticed kdm is set at 01, could i move rc.local to anything lower than 01, is there anything lower than 01? | 18:54 |
| sl00 | DSpair: There is no new corg.conf in /etc/X11 either. | 18:55 |
| sl00 | xorg* | 18:55 |
| nvstp | PerryArmstrong, Because you only have on partition for Linux, and you don't want lost your data, so ... | 18:55 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: i'm not very sure but i don't think upstart really cares about those numbers anymore... adding a dependency on the other hand should work, i suppose | 18:55 |
| hbekel | sl00: /var/log/Xorg.0.log tells you what config file (if any) is being used | 18:55 |
| sl00 | hbekel: Okey | 18:55 |
| PerryArmstrong | nvsip; will things be safe?? | 18:55 |
| DSpair | sl00: Tell you what. Sign on as "root" or use "sudo" to run "lspci -vv" and capture the output and put it on pastebin. | 18:56 |
| Mr_Molez | LjL: so i could just add what i have in rc.local to /etc/init.d then sleep 1 before the kdm stuff? | 18:56 |
| nvstp | DSpair, Yes, I have found most pople do so, but I think this is too bad | 18:56 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: err, that's not what i meant | 18:56 |
| Mr_Molez | LjL: but would that work ;) | 18:56 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: i don't think so | 18:56 |
| DSpair | nvstp, I understand the reasoning perfectly. What should be done then is that the Ubuntu installer should default to creating a separate partition for "/home" | 18:57 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: just edit kdm and add a dependency on rc.local | 18:57 |

| linduxed | is there a page on which i can see the progress of packages that are not stable? | 18:58 |
| LargePrime | what does ths mean? | 18:58 |
| LargePrime | Msttcorefonts uses the DEbian FOnt MAnager (defoma). If you wish to use the fonts provided by this package under the X Window System, you must configure it to use defoma fonts. | 18:58 |
| LargePrime | The easiest way to do so is to use the x-ttcidfont-conf package. For more information, install the x-ttcidfont-conf package and consult its documentation under /usr/share/doc/x-ttcidfont-conf. | 18:58 |
| LargePrime | For uses of msttcorefonts not related to the X Window System (e.g. printing) this is not required. | 18:58 |
| FloodBot2 | LargePrime: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:58 |
| madalin | were could i find help to my Tv Tuner Winfast 2100 ? | 18:58 |

| PerryArmstrong | nvsip?? | 18:58 |
| Mr_Molez | LjL: isn't that what I just asked :P lol | 18:59 |
| LjL | linduxed: what do you mean "packages that are not stable"? | 18:59 |
| PerryArmstrong | DSpair; so you say upgrading is not advisable?? | 18:59 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: to me it sounded like you wanted to use sleep to "ensure" that X would wait | 18:59 |
| DSpair | PerryArmstrong, No, I said exactly the opposite | 18:59 |
| nvstp | PerryArmstrong, yes? | 18:59 |
| Mr_Molez | LjL: ohhh... it will not ? | 18:59 |
| jeffrey_ | hey does anyone know of any good wireless extenders that work weill with ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| unop | LargePrime, it means if you want to use windows TTF fonts on linux .. install the x-ttcidfont-conf package. you don't have to do this if you want to be able to print with those fonts. | 19:00 |
| PerryArmstrong | DSpair; okk fine then....i shall upgrade...nvsip..i am gonna upgrade | 19:00 |
| DSpair | PerryArmstrong, Just open your /etc/apt/source.list file and change all of the instances of "hardy" to "intrepid"; run "aptitude update", and then run "aptitude dist-upgrade" | 19:00 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: not if you put your module commands in rc.local, and put a sleep instruction in kdm | 19:00 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: but if you just put your module commands in kdm before it starts X, it should work | 19:00 |
| jeffrey_ | I am looking for a way to extend my wireless connection and it appears the best way to do that is buy a card/usb wireless device w/ extended range | 19:00 |
| Mr_Molez | LjL: oh i see, well I meant put it all in the kdm script like you just said, okay I will do that, thanks alot :) | 19:00 |
| nvstp | PerryArmstrong, OK. Good luck | 19:00 |
| DSpair | PerryArmstrong, Sorry, typo, thats /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:00 |
| LjL | Mr_Molez: well then i don't think a "sleep" would be needed at all, but what do i know | 19:01 |
| LargePrime | unop: install that package to view them? but i can print them without the package? | 19:01 |
| PerryArmstrong | DSpair; you mean replace all names of hardy to intrepid?? | 19:01 |

| ubottu | linduxed: 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. | 19:01 |
| unop | LargePrime, well, it's actually, install the package to setup those fonts for use within X (to be able to display them) .. and no, you don't need this package to use the fonts in printing. | 19:01 |

| oobe | if i compile a new kernel on intrepid using "fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-poofuck kernel-image kernel-headers" when i install the resulting debs i get dkms errors to do with my nvidia modules is there a way to work around this | 20:26 |
| Picassotamus | Eric_G: filesystem? device type? | 20:26 |
| Jake2 | ok basically i install ubuntu but i cannot access the GUI, only the kernel command line thingy if you know what i mean | 20:26 |

| ubalooba | hey guys, is anyone familiar with mobo MCP temps? | 20:27 |
| dhruvasagar | Mean_Admin: -r requires a regular expression, have you tried killall -i -r /ssh -i/ ? | 20:27 |
| oobe | ikonia, bad language? | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Eric_G: try in ##apple | 20:27 |
| ikonia | oobe: yes, look at your kernel name | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Eric_G: or ##macox | 20:27 |
| oobe | oh ok | 20:27 |

| dhruvasagar | Mean_Admin: I would suggest you to google a bit if needed | 20:27 |
| oobe | yeah i got it | 20:27 |
| Jake2 | would someone mind pming me? this is a little confusing | 20:27 |
| oobe | well point taken | 20:27 |
| Mean_Admin | dhruvasagar: I did, that's why I came crying here | 20:27 |
| clearscreen | Jake2: run 'startx' | 20:28 |
| oobe | that still doesnt help me with my problem if i remove the bad language | 20:28 |
| Mean_Admin | dhruvasagar: I'll google some more until I find 42 if I must | 20:28 |
| piegod | but they have profanity in the source code :/ | 20:28 |
| Jake2 | @clearscreen, startx says something about error | 20:28 |
| BlackCoffee | what's with the colours on the ubuntu forums.my eyes hurt | 20:28 |
| Eric_G | Yeah, I though about using #apple, but I figured by double use in Ubuntu changed the volume enough to make it umnountable in OS X | 20:28 |

| BlackCoffee | so? | 20:29 |
| dhruvasagar | Mean_Admin: well you just need to find the right regular expression... | 20:29 |
| oobe | what i think the problem is is when i install the kernel it goes into a loop off not being able to build new nvidia modules using dkms | 20:29 |

| G8_Zer0 | I see it boots my sata disks on boot up. It's a PCI sata card btw | 21:15 |
| sebsebseb | kitchenrange: why do you want to dual boot? if your computer has enough RAM, and you don't want Windows 3D programs, how about Windows inside Ubuntu instead, in a virtual machine | 21:15 |
| genii | G8_Zer0: The usual reason for it is that it doesn't know you have disks/cd etc attached because it has no specific sata driver for your chipset, but the bios setting makes it behave like a known one | 21:15 |
| ellar | kitchenrange, for those issues have a look for the supergrubdisk | 21:16 |

| imachine | says in my case | 21:19 |
| sebsebseb | N1ckR: do Abiword as I said :) and you can run Microsoft Office under Wine | 21:19 |
| Jordan_U | N1ckR, GoOO claims it has better support for some documents ( I think mostly .docx though ) | 21:19 |
| Lego_Dan | !dovecot | 21:19 |
| unko | imachine, ok hold on | 21:19 |
| ubottu | IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol | 21:19 |
| imachine | sebsebseb, I don't think it works under wine. | 21:20 |
| unko | imachine, yea i do | 21:20 |
| sebsebseb | imachine: it does | 21:20 |
| imachine | unko, everything should work okay. | 21:20 |
| imachine | unko, what exactly is the problem? | 21:20 |
| imachine | sebsebseb, which version? it hadn't for a while | 21:20 |
| unko | imachine, hmm...i don't know my system is fast but when it comes to recording my screen it's horribly slow | 21:20 |
| imachine | actually, it never did. hence the question | 21:20 |
| imachine | unko, ok, dunno. | 21:20 |
| unko | imachine, ok thnx | 21:20 |
| === pete_ is now known as Guest70374 | ||
| imachine | unko, maybe it's the recording software being slow. | 21:21 |
| Jordan_U | Iceman_B^Ltop, ifconfig will give you some statistics | 21:21 |
| unko | imachine, maybeee | 21:21 |
| imachine | ;) | 21:21 |
| sebsebseb | imachine: most of 2003 worked ages in older wine versions. and someone runs office 2007 in wine. as for versions, alwasy get latest wine from http://www.winehq.org and add the Ubuntu repo so always get latest wine. however use stuff such as Open Office, Abiword, Gnumeric, and KOffice, before doing Microsoft Office under Wine | 21:21 |
| sebsebseb | N1ckR: KOffice is another one that can open your word doc | 21:21 |
| wizared | my dvd player plays the dvd but the video is scrambled | 21:22 |

| G8_Zer0 | Any ideas? Tried burning 4 discs... same result | 21:25 |
| Ymse1 | How can I just format and fix the boot sector in Ubuntu............. | 21:25 |
| abstrakt | and mods-available are nothing more than apache LoadModule directives all broken out into separate files | 21:25 |
| erUSUL | shadeslayer: use sudo | 21:25 |
| abstrakt | genii, does that install the mod_dav_svn module also? | 21:26 |

| morered | mickey: command gnome-system-monitor see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79560 | 21:55 |
| abstrakt | i would prefer Ubuntu i think | 21:55 |
| genii | abstrakt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libapache2-svn shows required prerequisites are: apache2.2-common libc6 and libsvn1 ... maybe check that these are installed | 21:55 |
| rhythmsou1 | erUSUL: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 21:56 |
| abstrakt | genii, well apache is def installed | 21:56 |
| mickey | for some reason when i start firefox it starts in a semi-full mode like i can't see my applications on the bottom or my close or maximize buttons on the top... how do I change this? | 21:56 |
| abstrakt | genii, so i can only assume that means that apache2.2-common is installed too | 21:56 |
| krushik | does ubuntu have some kind of "testing" (like in debian) repository? i have libqt4-webkit 4.4.1 but 4.4.3 is needed | 21:56 |
| Picassotamus | abstrakt: I tend to stick w/ the LTS version of ubuntu 8.04 in this case | 21:56 |
| abstrakt | i can only assume that libc6 is installed too | 21:56 |
| morered | F11? | 21:56 |
| abstrakt | Picassotamus, k | 21:56 |
| genii | abstrakt: You can check with syntax like: apt-cache policy <packagename> | 21:56 |

| jrib | !ext3 | Nytrix | 22:28 |
| ubottu | Nytrix: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 22:28 |
| talntid | vpn | 22:28 |
| talntid | all my settings appear correct, and used to work like this.. but no longer do... | 22:29 |

| Nytrix | thnx | 22:30 |
| rickest | joakimk: google vlc and w32codecs | 22:30 |

| Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M- | 1 CDs requested on 2009-02-10. This request was not approved, so no CDs were shipped. | 22:34 |
| crdlb | joakimk: driver (have you enabled the restricted driver?) | 22:35 |
| crdlb | joakimk: if you're using radeon, then you can just switch to EXA | 22:35 |
| joakimk | crdlb: no, I don't think I've enabled any restricted driver | 22:35 |
| joakimk | crdlb: EXA? | 22:35 |
| crdlb | joakimk: the old mode (XAA) cannot support textured video with a compositing manager, so you need to switch to the new one (EXA) | 22:35 |

| newuser | sebsebseb, should I try to select different driver when running displayconfig-gtk? | 22:47 |

| jmacfuzzy | erUSUL: can you explain blacklisting to me? | 22:48 |
| Grenyaris1 | Veronika_sweet: your repositories are geared to have the programs compatible with your version of the operating system. So long as newer versions of programs will run on your kernel, you have the latest version. | 22:48 |

| ubottu | jmacfuzzy: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 22:48 |

| spaceBARbarian | can someone help me i can't get ubuntu to properly control my laptop's internal fans | 22:51 |
| soluxione | Hello to somebody..... | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | jmacfuzzy: maybe to generic... you can name it my_raidcard_blacklist so you know at a glance why the file is there | 22:51 |
| Grenyaris1 | However, Matson, I have friends who run Debian Unstable...so, it all depends on the level of pain you are willing to suffer... but even with that, I would easily upgrade to Ubuntu's latest before I would even think about Upgrading to Microsoft's latest... | 22:52 |
| jmacfuzzy | ah i thought i was just supposed to tail something to the existing blacklist | 22:52 |

| Matson | how long will 8.10 be supported? | 22:53 |
| oCean_ | noren_: I'm not sure if the information you want is there, but try "sudo lshw -C power" | 22:53 |

| soluxione | Italian men for help me? | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | Matson: standard releases such as 8.10 and 9.04 get 18 months of suppourt, where as long term suppourt releasese such as 8.04 get 3 years suppourt on the desktop and 5 on the server | 22:54 |
| noren_ | oCean_: nothing came up | 22:54 |
| oCean_ | noren_: In that case, it's only for batteries I guess | 22:54 |
| soluxione | OK! Thank's..... | 22:54 |
| Matson | are the packages for 8.04 desktop and 8.04 server different? | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | Matson: and so LTS's aren't really considered a downgrade even, plus slightly more cutting edge stuff with be in the versions before the next LTS | 22:55 |
| jmacfuzzy | erUSUL: ok, i see other files in the directory with names like that | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | Matson: no they will use the same stuff | 22:55 |
| Grenyaris1 | Ok, so since I am not getting a response about dhclient's scripts, how about a suggestion for the following idea -- I want to run ddclient ONLY when my external IP address changes (hence the desire to know when the IP lease is renewed, in exit or entry script for dhclient)...currently ddclient runs ALWAYS...but I don't need that...and I don't want to worry about it manually... Any Ideas? | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | Matson: you can get the server stuff in the desktop version | 22:55 |
| jmacfuzzy | are the files just parsed and the "blacklisted" part looked for? | 22:55 |
| erUSUL | Matson: no; you just get a different selection of packages installed by default | 22:55 |
| Matson | just more packages in the default list for server? | 22:55 |
| noren_ | oCean_: how can i get more info abt my PSU | 22:55 |
| Matson | right | 22:55 |
| crdlb | Matson: it also uses a different kernel by default | 22:55 |
| jmacfuzzy | meaning like you said, it wouldn't matter what i named it as long as i had the blacklisted <modulename> in there | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | jmacfuzzy: yep probably they are all cated together and the fed to modprobe | 22:56 |
| jmacfuzzy | i think i understand the process now | 22:56 |
| Matson | crdlb: really? | 22:56 |
| jmacfuzzy | thanks for your help, i'm gonna see if that worked with a reboot | 22:56 |
| jmacfuzzy | we'll see if i come back from the dead here | 22:56 |
| crdlb | Matson: -server instead of -generic | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | jmacfuzzy: as long as it is in the /etc/modprobe.d/ dir too | 22:56 |

| Checkmate91 | I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and have an HP f380 printer using the f300 driver. Problem: My printer is only printing green and yellow...no red. Is this a driver issue or a print cartridge issue? | 23:21 |
| ynk | sebsebseb, how so? | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | ynk: try for yourself, it looks much nicer for a start though | 23:22 |
| ynk | sebsebseb, ok then. i guess i'll give it a try. =) thanks buddy. | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | Checkmate91, well, does the printer print red on windows/mac? | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | Checkmate91, that'll tell you the answer | 23:22 |
| PhotoJim | Checkmate91: it could be either. it's not uncommon for colour cartridges to clog up or run out of ink. | 23:22 |
| oCean_ | newuser: maybe you've seen this already? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=495877 | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | Checkmate91, yeah you sure the red isn't just out? | 23:22 |
| newuser | oCean_ sony vaio pcg-fx120 running ubuntu 8.04 which is working fine except ctrl-alt-backspace not working | 23:22 |
| Checkmate91 | abstrakt, true but then I have to boot into windows and install the driver...put an option | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | Checkmate91, ... | 23:23 |
| abstrakt | omg, you poor thing | 23:23 |
| Checkmate91 | i know :) | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: yeah you can't just install it | 23:23 |
| PhotoJim | Checkmate91: your only way to know for sure then is to change your red ink cartridge and see if that cures it. | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: there's an issue with the Deb for Ubuntu and things, that's what it was I belive yeah | 23:23 |
| Checkmate91 | It's all in one cartridge | 23:23 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: so what do I do? | 23:23 |
| abstrakt | PhotoJim, uh, not really, you could print on windows like i just suggested | 23:23 |
| abstrakt | and then if it prints red you know for sure | 23:23 |
| newuser | oCean_ yeah I did, but last message indicates the problem was never fixed | 23:23 |
| PhotoJim | abstrakt: he rejected that. so changing the cartridge is the only option left. | 23:23 |
| abstrakt | omg | 23:24 |
| PhotoJim | Checkmate91: then you have to change the whole cartridge... if trying it with Windows or OS X is not an option. | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: a few weeks or so ago, a woman really wanted Gimpshop, so some guy helped her get it working, loads of command stuff etc | 23:24 |
| Checkmate91 | it's not that I rejected it...just wanted a reason to come on here and chat :-) | 23:24 |
| abstrakt | PhotoJim, Checkmate91, because it's so much easier to go to best buy and spend $40 than it is to boot into windows | 23:24 |
| Checkmate91 | blah blah so sarchastic | 23:24 |
| Checkmate91 | thanks | 23:24 |
| PhotoJim | Checkmate91: I have nothing to fix at the moment. Just come in here and chat then. :) | 23:24 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: do you think people at #gimp will be annoyed if I ask this there? :P | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: maybe | 23:25 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: :( | 23:25 |
| jtaji | Checkmate91: do you have hplip-gui package installed? you would have HPLIP Toolbox in your Prefs | 23:25 |
| Checkmate91 | oh and I have to patch the windows machine because of the big and scary confliker worm :0 | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: why not just use Gimp? oh sure it's GUI is a bit well, you got to get used to it, but otherwise it will be a good app | 23:25 |
| Checkmate91 | jtaji, yes | 23:25 |
| jtaji | Checkmate91: does it report your ink levels? | 23:25 |
| Checkmate91 | jtaji, HPLIP test page and CUPS test page yeild same results | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: there are other graphics programs for Linux as well, that are good | 23:25 |
| Checkmate91 | jtaji, it does but as a whole.. COLOR = 35% Remaining | 23:26 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: really? I didn't know about that | 23:26 |
| jtaji | Checkmate91: wow strange... never saw one like that | 23:26 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: which do you recommend? | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: yeah look in synaptic, I don't do graphics | 23:26 |
| rgs_ | does anybody know if there are bug filed on launchpad for eye of gnome on intrepid? | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: ,but I know there are other good ones | 23:26 |
| Checkmate91 | well thanks for the suggestions people | 23:26 |
| Checkmate91 | I'll figure it out | 23:26 |
| abstrakt | Waldir, you can do most all the same things in GIMP that you can do in Photoshop, it's just that it takes longer in the GIMP | 23:26 |
| rgs_ | it hangs pretty often | 23:26 |
| jtaji | Checkmate91: taking out the cartridge and rocking it around might get you some more ink out of it, if it's an out of ink problem | 23:26 |
| abstrakt | Waldir, e.g. in Photoshop you can just add a "dropshadow" layer effect... in the GIMP you have to do all the steps manually... though you can surely write your own plugin to dropshadow things for you, and i'm pretty sure there's gotta be at least a dropshadowing plugin for GIMP... the point is that you can do all the same stuff | 23:27 |
| abstrakt | Waldir, though i have yet to find any good collection of plugins that do the same stuff as PS | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: you look through Synaptic and find the graphics apps and install yeah. however to help you get into the right direction check out these sites. http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com | 23:27 |
| Waldir | abstrakt: still, my main problem is the multiple windows :) | 23:28 |
| abstrakt | Waldir, ... that's a problem... why? | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: also apparnatlly Photoshop CS2 works pretty well under the latest Wine. http://www.winehq.org and add the Ubuntu repo then always get latest Wine | 23:28 |
| abstrakt | Waldir, that doesn't sound like a problem, that sounds like you being stubborn | 23:28 |
| cerrie | hey all.. anyone know of a gnome compatible instant messenger with webcam?? | 23:28 |
| dmlb2000 | Anyway to tell apt to copy files from file:// repositories instead of symlinking them? | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | cerrie: which network? | 23:28 |
| cerrie | yahoo manly | 23:29 |
| abstrakt | cerrie, http://www.pidgin.im is basically the best IM client, dunno if it supports web cams though | 23:29 |
| cerrie | nah it doesent :O( | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | abstrakt: no web cam suppourt yet | 23:29 |
| Waldir | abstrakt: if that's it, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one ;) | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | cerrie: for MSN, there's AMSN that does web cam | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | cerrie: Yahoo not sure | 23:29 |
| abstrakt | Waldir, ... er... if what's what? | 23:29 |
| ynk | Waldir, you're not the only one. i'm still trying to get used to the multiple windows myself. LoL | 23:29 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: I already tried PS under wine but many tiny fonts were unreadable for some reason | 23:30 |
| RedMushroom | can someone PLEASE just tell me how to make a startup floppy that will allow me to start the install from the cd rom? | 23:30 |
| cerrie | yeah been looking for a while, nothin for gnome. | 23:30 |
| cerrie | :( | 23:30 |
| ynk | Waldir, it just takes time to get used to new styles of doing things. | 23:30 |
| RedMushroom | and not just say "use smartboot" cause it DOES NOT WORK | 23:30 |
| RedMushroom | :( | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | cerrie: if you have enough RAM, how much you got? and a WindowsCD/ISO you can install Windows in Virutalbox and do Yahoo Messenger in there | 23:30 |
| PhotoJim | Yahoo at one point had its own proprietary Linux client in .deb packages. Is it no longer available? If it is, it might be the best option if you need webcam support. | 23:30 |
| Waldir | abstrakt: if it is that I'm being stubborn :) | 23:30 |
| abstrakt | the only thing i can conclude if you can't handle the "multiple windows" is that you're mildly retarded | 23:30 |
| ynk | took me 3 days just to install my graphics card driver properly. | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: yeah you got to get the fonts in from Windows, and put in the wine fonts folder | 23:30 |
| Waldir | ynk: i'd rather get gimpshop working :| | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: or get from some where else | 23:30 |
| drbones420 | redmushrooom does your bios boot to hard drive first, if so you should go into bios and make sure that the CDROM you've got the startup cd in runs before your Harddrive | 23:31 |
| abstrakt | PS has multiple "windows" they just take the form of toolbars... | 23:31 |
| PhotoJim | RedMushroom: there is one available on the net for free. I googled for it a couple of years ago and found it. It's meant for really old systems that can't boot off CD-ROM drives. | 23:31 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: oh so *that* was the problem | 23:31 |
| abstrakt | it's just a freaking difference of a window manager | 23:31 |
| RedMushroom | it's not my bios | 23:31 |
| ynk | Waldir, what is the difference between gimpshop and GIMP? nvm.. i'll google it. | 23:31 |
| RedMushroom | i need a startup floppy diskette | 23:31 |
| RedMushroom | that has cd-rom drivers on it | 23:31 |
| cerrie | thanks, tryed the linux yahoo a while back, no cam support tho :O( cant win lol | 23:31 |
| RedMushroom | that will let me tell the computer to install off the cd-rom | 23:31 |
| RedMushroom | that's it | 23:31 |
| abstrakt | it'd be like saying that you can use Windows Explorer but not The Finder because the finder has circular colored buttons and Explorer has square gray buttons | 23:31 |
| Waldir | ynk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP#Interface_and_usability | 23:31 |
| PhotoJim | RedMushroom: There is one out there. Give me a minute and I'll see if I can find it. | 23:32 |
| RedMushroom | i would really appreciate it if you could find it | 23:32 |
| julien | salut tlm | 23:32 |
| abstrakt | there are plenty of other things that in my mind easily qualify as reasons that The GIMP is harder for someone who's used to photoshop but the window manager is NOT one of them | 23:33 |
| julien | qui peut me conseiller un tutu pour installer vmware sur ubuntu merci bcp | 23:33 |
| PhotoJim | RedMushroom: it's at http://www.bootdisk.com ... would have to spend some time to find it. but that's where I got it. | 23:33 |

| eqisow | Is it possible to setup LVM encryption on a drive volume that already has data on it? | 23:34 |
| epaphus | hey guys... I installed the codecs, and gxine.. to try to play .wmv movies.. but it says its encrypted and descryption isnt supported.. gxine does play it but it gets the image fuzzy | 23:34 |
| epaphus | any suggestions? | 23:34 |
| eqisow | gausie: best bet it to use a liveCD and chroot in | 23:34 |
| eqisow | ephaphus: Does the file have DRM? | 23:35 |
| ynk | Waldir, while googling GIMPshop, I found http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12 | 23:35 |
| epaphus | eqisow, where? | 23:35 |
| ynk | Waldir, it's called Pixel and looks much more similar to Photoshop. | 23:35 |
| gausie | eqisow: thanks - i expected it would require a livecd im already downloading it. will check the manual for chroot and hopefully should work! thanks for the speedy response | 23:36 |
| Waldir | ynk: will try it :) | 23:36 |
| eqisow | epaphus: where is the file from? wmv with 'digital rights management' embedded will not play in Linux | 23:36 |
| oCean_ | gausie: When in bootloader, there is an option to add/modify kernelarguments. You can add "init=/bin/sh", which should take you straight into a shell | 23:36 |
| drbones420 | i'm fairly new at ubuntu 8.10, and i'm trying to get all my hardware working similar to within windows xp pro. running a dual boot system, i've got ati drivers downloaded, how do I run it in terminal so that i'm super user (new at terminal) | 23:36 |
| eqisow | epaphus see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management | 23:37 |
| epaphus | eqisow, the file has a .wmv extension... and the readme says it will play with any player that supports .FLA | 23:37 |

| eqisow | epaphus: flv in a wmv contaner, pehaps? odd... you could try VLC, though | 23:37 |
| Waldir | sebsebseb: those sites are wonderful resources, I'll bookmark them ^^ | 23:37 |
| epaphus | eqisow, it also says "New Movies Arecopywrited please install and update the DRM identifier to View File." | 23:38 |
| epaphus | the readme | 23:38 |
| sebsebseb | Waldir: indeed they are, but just a reminder, you get most stuff from synaptic or using the commands instead. and then only get debs and tar.gz's and such from trusted sources | 23:39 |
| eqisow | epaphus: it won't play in Linux, then. See the wiki article I linked a moment ago. The company will likely refund you the purchase price if you explain, or you can play it in windows | 23:39 |
