| meow-chan | how do i restart x server? | 00:05 |

| histo | sharperguy: atleast not that i know of. queries still take mroe time then a local response here. | 00:06 |

It's the smiley with one character, a line, a circle, and a little curve, an underscore, and then the line/circle/curve thing again. | 00:11 |
| meow-chan | Shishire, how do i restart x server | 00:11 |

| Leey | does anyone know how to search for a mp3song in audacious playlist? is it possible ? | 00:12 |
| meow-chan | guess thats the only way, for some reason i thought there was a bash command for it | 00:12 |
| RedMushroom | can anyone tell me why trying to use the su command the terminal would return an authentication failure error when you're typing the correct pasword? | 00:12 |
| Shock | unko: looks like the root filesystem cannot be mounted | 00:13 |
| Tesla | Do you actually have a root account set up? | 00:13 |
| unko | Shock, why!!!?? | 00:13 |
| Tesla | sudo bash should do the same thing, without having to actually have a root acount. | 00:13 |
| Shishire | RedMushroom: try sudo su | 00:13 |
| unko | Shock, how could this happen | 00:14 |
| Shock | unko: i don't know why :) | 00:14 |
| Leey | ah lol, "press j" problem fixed xD | 00:14 |
| Shock | unko: since i don't know what happened | 00:14 |
| Omni | RedMushroom: Well, have oyu set the root account up? or have you just set up your password? if the latter, sudo su - #wow, everyone else here types way too fast. | 00:14 |
| Shishire | RedMushroom: su will ask you for the root password, and on a standard install of Ubuntu, root doesn't get a password for security reasons | 00:14 |
| unko | Shock, well the only thing i did recently was shut off the system take the hard drive out and put my vista one in | 00:14 |
| RedMushroom | sudo su worked. thank you very much | 00:15 |
| Tesla | Is anyone going to answer my question? =( | 00:15 |

| Burntresistor_ | but in a world of terabyte hard drives do we really care about 10mb files we dont use | 00:42 |
| Excedio | i know i dont | 00:42 |
| Roasted | Does Ubuntu Server have a form of active directory built in? Or do you have to install it spearately? | 00:42 |
| Burntresistor_ | hence it should be optional | 00:42 |
| Shishire | Burntresistor_: almost every single program, if not every one uses libc6. Do you really want several hundred copies of that sitting on your comp? | 00:43 |

| arooni-mobile | hey folks! my silly business partner messed up ubuntu ibex; now when i boot up i see "checking drive /dev/sda1: 18%; /dev/sda1: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found; /dev/sda1: Unexpected inconsistency: Run fsck manually (i..e without -a or -p options); fsck died with exit status 4; * an automatic file system check of the root file system failed, a manual fsck must be performed, then the system restarte | 00:51 |
| arooni-mobile | d, the fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem mounted in read only mode; the root file system is currently mounted in read-only mode; | 00:51 |
| arooni-mobile | how should i fix? | 00:51 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: boot recovery mode | 00:51 |
| kindofabuzz | run a manual fsck like it says to? | 00:51 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, from which cd? | 00:51 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: then run the specified command | 00:51 |
| Shishire | no, from grub | 00:51 |
| Shishire | hit esc as the computer boots | 00:52 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, and what is the specified command | 00:52 |
| Shishire | try fsck /dev/sda1 | 00:52 |
| Lint01 | arooni-mobile: mount rw / | 00:52 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, so i dont need to boot it up off a cd? | 00:52 |
| Lint01 | arooni-mobile: sudo mount rw / | 00:52 |
| arooni-mobile | Lint01, huh? i thought the message said to mount root file system in read-only mode | 00:53 |
| judget__ | for what it is worth that googleearth package kept vcrashing on my Ubuntu Intrepid | 00:53 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: no, you don't. booting off of a cd may feel nicer, but its not necessary | 00:53 |
| Lint01 | arooni-mobile: it was mounted in RO because it's corrupted | 00:53 |
| Lint01 | arooni-mobile: to run fsck you need to make it writeable | 00:53 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, does it change anything if im running ubuntu 8.04 LTS and not ubuntu ibex? (i had version # wrong) | 00:53 |
| arooni-mobile | Lint01, but error message said not to mount it rw | 00:54 |
| arooni-mobile | "the fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem fmounted in read only mode" | 00:54 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: no | 00:54 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, huh? | 00:54 |
| arooni-mobile | and also; i'm curious why this happened? | 00:54 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: it makes no difference between 8.10 and 8.04 | 00:54 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, ok so the only command i type is: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 | 00:55 |
| arooni-mobile | ? | 00:55 |
| Lint01 | fsck: read-only filesystem :) | 00:55 |

| natan- | are there any good guides on how big to make partitions on install? | 00:56 |
| natan- | i have a 1tb drive and trying to figure out how to partition it | 00:56 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, so i booted into recovery mode; now all i type is sudo fsck /dev/sda1 ? | 00:57 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: if you're using recovery mode, and you're using the root terminal, you don't need the sudo, but yes | 00:57 |
| scunizi | natan-: general purpose sizes.... root "/" = 8-12gigs ... /swap 1 gig unless you're using hybernate or something like that then it's 1.5x your ram.. the rest for /home | 00:57 |
| Lint01 | arooni-mobile: just sudo fsck / should work | 00:57 |
| tj83_ | scunizi, it reads "itunes" are not currently supported by linux, only playlist/file sync... | 00:57 |
| natan- | thanks | 00:57 |

| arooni-mobile | how do i batch up fsck so it just fixes everything without prompting me | 00:58 |
| scunizi | tj83_: ah.. you wanted access to itunes? sorry .. no can do.. it has DRM which linux doesn't really support | 00:58 |
| SvenZ | anyone familiar with configuring Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcards with ubuntu? | 00:58 |
| SvenZ | i tried one tutorial, but it was not a success | 00:58 |
| scunizi | tj83_: you could run windows in a VM like virtual box or VMWare and access it that way | 00:58 |
| Lint01 | arooni-mobile: fsck shouldn't be batched, you must make conscious decisions about it | 00:59 |
| tj83_ | scunizi, shame.... i was going to recruit a friend from windows.... only condition was itunes. | 00:59 |
| tj83_ | scunizi, so resources for VM | 00:59 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: use -y. but be careful. that tells it to auto-answer yes to ALL questions | 00:59 |
| tj83_ | no* | 00:59 |
| SvenZ | also, i just installed ubuntu after practice running with the live cd, and it says it has 283 updates available for me | 00:59 |
| SvenZ | should i install them all? | 00:59 |
| Lint01 | tj83_: RAF here doesn't pay ;) | 00:59 |
| arooni-mobile | Shishire, so that's not recommended? | 00:59 |
| scunizi | tj83_: you mean a low power machine? | 00:59 |
| RedMushroom | how can i setup a static internal IP address for my computer? | 00:59 |
| tj83_ | scunizi, yes... no ram, no spare hdd space. | 00:59 |
| scunizi | tj83_: too bad.. | 01:00 |
| clintar | no ram? that is pretty low power | 01:00 |
| arooni-mobile | also; can i learn WHY this happened? is it a dead drive (its < 1 year old and makes no noise); but we did power off by holding down power button a few times | 01:00 |
| clintar | running on virtual memory? :) | 01:00 |
| Guest_522 | hi | 01:00 |
| tj83_ | scunizi, i know... i try to convert everyone i know... but it usually fails.... thing is.... i dont understand why its so hard for the people to take linux... if more did, problems would get solved. | 01:00 |
| clintar | because people are afraid of their computers | 01:01 |
| Shishire | arooni-mobile: if the computer is turned off while its still being used, it can corrupt the hard drive | 01:01 |
| SvenZ | ok, someone just stole my password | 01:01 |
| * tj83_ is happy.... they just dont know. | 01:01 | |

| ActionParsnip | Martyr2k6: you could ahve a linux drive and a vista drive, another option is have both OSes on the same drive then use the other purely for data | 01:15 |
| Shishire | Lint01: you can also install kernel modules using aptitude | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Lint01: ubuntu isnt designed for that | 01:15 |
| kindofabuzz | Lint01, roll your own kernel if you need specific things | 01:15 |
| Martyr2k6 | ActionParsnip: well, my goal is to have one vista drive and one ubuntu drive, so I will try what you said and leave this window open while doing it | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Martyr2k6: thats fine | 01:16 |
| Martyr2k6 | ActionParsnip: but this has been proven to work? | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Martyr2k6: install vista first, instal linux and dual boot will be managed | 01:16 |
| Martyr2k6 | ok | 01:16 |
| Shishire | I guess the powers that be feel that if you need something more complicated than the standard three kernels, you'll know how to build your own :P | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Martyr2k6: then set bios to boot the linux drive | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Martyr2k6: lots proven to lots work | 01:17 |
| SvenZ | anyone want to help a new guy out with configuring audio? | 01:18 |
| SvenZ | soundblaster audigy 2 | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | 01:18 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:18 |
| phenom | Any one have or heard of a bug that when you run a java app even a flash video that uses sound,, it will take sound over prevention you from playing a movie etc? | 01:18 |
| Burntresistor | i didnt see gdk-pixbuf-loaders in packet manager so i downloaded what i found and it ended up to be a rpm file im coverting it with alien and it says Must run as root to convert to deb format | 01:18 |
| nibsa1242b | SvenZ: what is your audio issue? | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SvenZ: creative cards can be painful, plus they suck | 01:19 |
| Burntresistor | what does that mean | 01:19 |
| SvenZ | oh thanks for being helpful ActionParsnip | 01:19 |
| kindofabuzz | Burntresistor, use sudo then | 01:19 |
| eseven73 | phenom, try sudo alsa force-reload | 01:19 |
| syntax\ | any suggestions on what to choose when downloading ubuntu installation files from the philippines? | 01:19 |
| Burntresistor | i did use sdo $sudo alien -k gdk-pixbuf-loaders-0.22.0-alt9.1.i586.rpm | 01:20 |
| * kindofabuzz shrugs | 01:20 | |
| musikgoat|main | syntax\: if you can, and you think that it will be quick, you should grab the .torrent file (assuming you are familiar with torrents), that would be the quickest | 01:21 |
| SvenZ | nibsa1242b, going through sound prefs, and check testing every option until i can find a configuration that works, no luck thus far | 01:21 |
| phenom | eseven73, Would that be a workaround when it happens to your knowledge? Or have you known that to solve the problem? | 01:21 |
| SirMarth01 | Heya. | 01:21 |
| phenom | The research I've done shows this to be a ppopular bug, with no fix | 01:21 |

| mheath_ | tvon: Theres a "force version" in synaptic now, but it doesn't do quite what you're thinking. You'll have to go with the other persons suggetison and use the apt files to edit preferences. Theres thorough documentation on the Debian site about those files. | 02:12 |
| Ububegin | vikrant: so the installer would not prompt you to setup a swap-partition... | 02:12 |

| Huxley | JakeTwo, I downloaded 8.10 and my resolution is fixed | 02:19 |
| Shishire | matt: nautilus and gparted calculate size differently | 02:19 |
| vikrant | JakeTwoZero: what driver do you have | 02:19 |
| Kelen | JakeTwoZero: Custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:19 |
| matt | mheath_: /dev/sdb1 917G 72G 799G 9% /home/matt/Data | 02:19 |

| vikrant | Martyr2k6: yes | 02:19 |
| matt | Shishire: in what way? | 02:19 |
| Martyr2k6 | vikrant: so do I hit new partition or choose to go forward | 02:20 |
| Shishire | matt: 1000 vs 1024 | 02:20 |
| Huxley | jaketwo, do you want to upgrade to 8.10 | 02:20 |
| vikrant | Martyr2k6: new part | 02:20 |
| matt | Shishire: Oh, gotcha. :( | 02:20 |
| JakeTwoZero | how? | 02:20 |
| Ububegin | Hei guys, for 4Gb ram system... you require 1.5 x Ram = 6 Gb swap partition... this is general ground rule | 02:20 |

| JakeTwoZero | the terminal isn't working | 02:20 |
| JakeTwoZero | it displays nothing | 02:20 |
| Huxley | jaketwo, go to software sources in the system menu | 02:20 |
| Martyr2k6 | vikrant: ok new dialogue window popped up, anything in here I should change | 02:21 |
| Shishire | matt: since most programs calculate in terms of 1024, use that value to determine your space left | 02:21 |
| Huxley | jaketwo, are you in gnome? | 02:21 |
| vikrant | the first partition shld b /boot 150mb in size and shld b a primary partition | 02:21 |
| matt | Shishire: Indeed, because nautlius and dolphin also show my other drive as being "stipped of space". But really it's good, right? I mean, I can store as much data as my gparted tells me? | 02:21 |
| Shishire | matt: nautilus is reporting what most people will think of as the more correct value | 02:22 |

| vikrant | make size 150mb | 02:23 |
| vikrant | Mart | 02:23 |
| Shishire | Ububegin: usually yes, although if you have a smaller hard drive you may want to size it down. the general rule of thumb is to have a least 1x your physical ram, so you can hibernate | 02:23 |
| eqisow1 | Ububegin: With 4GB of ram it's pretty safe to not even use swap, or 1-2GB at most | 02:23 |

| darkside_simmons | Don_Miguel you may be able to copy over status-old in /var/lib/dpkg but make sure to keep a copy status possibly copy it to your home directory | 02:57 |

| alabamahit | musikgoat|main, ...its not their... | 03:00 |
| musikgoat|main | alabamahit: what version? | 03:00 |
| clearscreen | santiago: basic stuff is already installed.. if you feel you need more functionality (missing something), use add/remove applications in your start menu | 03:00 |
| Goldfisch | santiago: It helps if you describe what you want to do. Sound editing? Create music CDs? Load your iPod? | 03:00 |
| alabamahit | musikgoat|main, ubuntu 9.04/ transmission is 1.51 | 03:00 |
| santiago | oh yes i've seen that add/remove section | 03:00 |
| darkside_simmons | i believe cchaos it is because you don't have a monitor defined or your default monitor only supports 640x480 | 03:00 |

| ryan_ | santiago: You can go to Synaptic Package Manager and find it or... | 03:02 |
| clearscreen | santiago: I believe compiz is installed by default (if not, it will automatically install if you change t he following settings:), you can change the level of eye-candy through System -> Preferences -> Apperance -> Visual Effects | 03:03 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:23 |

| oobe | digitalexploit, sort of i dont do much image editing | 03:26 |
| clearscreen | rujin: did you change your apt repositories? | 03:26 |
| Fezzler | My PC has an older AMD Athlon processor. So I have to use an old nVidia driver. But Intrepid does let me load it? | 03:26 |
| eqisow1 | oobe: gimp actually does not have a line tool, though, which is why I suggested perhaps krita. You can freehand it, though | 03:26 |
| digitalexploit | oobe, GIMP is like photoshop | 03:27 |
| Fezzler | I used to load it from terminal - build it right from file off nvidia site | 03:27 |

| lacrymology | hello. I'm running xubuntu in a quite old, quite shitty machine, and for some reason audacious won't play. I dont even know how to diagnose this.. | 03:27 |

| digitalexploit | oobe, you will need to learn how to use a photo editing tool, read some books or online help. | 03:28 |
| Fezzler | driver is NVIDIA-LINUX-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run | 03:28 |
| digitalexploit | oobe, thats why people pay others as graphic designers | 03:28 |
| clearscreen | Fezzler: save yourself the trouble and use jockey-gtk | 03:28 |

| Fezzler | clearscreen: What is that? | 03:28 |

| bosco | ??? | 03:44 |
| digitalexploit | tgr_ you might have to remove all the directories it created | 03:44 |
| duckthis | Can someone help me? | 03:45 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: don't think of /dev mount points as being default in any way | 03:45 |

| jdu | Fezzler, as networking relies on NetworkManager, you might. You can use ifconfig to get online without NetworkManager but you will have no dns support. | 03:46 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: what you could do is figure out the UUID of your ext hard drive, then mount that... then you don't have to worry what /dev is selected | 03:46 |
| Fezzler | jdu: every time I upgrade, Ubuntu loads a newer nvidia driver that does not work with my graphics card / CPU | 03:46 |
| tgr_ | i need to organize the mounting so that if i unplug it or it gets turned off my torrent program will continue running normally | 03:46 |
| digitalexploit | bosco, I dont think there is most of the time you need to use dd after you created the distro, but follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27983 | 03:46 |
| tgr_ | and how do i do that? | 03:46 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=429285 | 03:46 |
| Fezzler | jdu: is it possible the old driver does not work with Intrepid kernel? | 03:46 |
| jdu | possible. | 03:46 |
| masque7 | how can i get ALSA to be able to play 2 audio at same time? | 03:46 |
| rujin | ok so once reloaded should i try to do sudo install free falsh thing? | 03:46 |
| tgr_ | and how would i turn off automount for it? | 03:47 |
| jdu | Fezzler, I expect it would though | 03:47 |
| bosco | digitalexploit, know i had to change some files in a windows iso and now i want to make it an iso again??? how do i go about doing that | 03:47 |
| tgr_ | because it does it automatically now | 03:47 |
| jrib | rujin: something like that | 03:47 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: if you create a mount entry in fstab, that will take priority | 03:47 |
| digitalexploit | bosco, are you in windows? or linux | 03:47 |
| digitalexploit | tgr_ /etc/fstab | 03:47 |
| bosco | digitalexploit, ubuntu | 03:47 |
| Fezzler | jdu: well, I used to repair it by dropping to shell, running the driver and have it build the kernel - now it fails | 03:47 |

| thrillERboy | hi guys how to extract rar files inside ubuntu? | 03:48 |
| jrib | !rar | thrillERboy | 03:48 |
| steve_baker | i have ubuntu server 8.04 installed and would like to put the monitor to sleep when inactive | 03:48 |
| ubottu | thrillERboy: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 03:48 |
| jdu | Fezzler, I would have to look into it more to know, but you may be right. You built custom kernels? | 03:48 |
| Fezzler | http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.19.html | 03:48 |
| digitalexploit | bosco, isomaster may help you | 03:48 |
| steve_baker | setterm doesn't seem to dow anything | 03:49 |
| rgov | eqisow1: it's just a typical dell box, shouldn't be any abnormal hardware in there. not sure where the problem is | 03:49 |
| digitalexploit | bosco, http://ubuntufriends.wordpress.com/2007/03/31/edit-and-create-your-bootable-iso-image-the-easy-way/ | 03:49 |
| Fezzler | jdu: the installer does it | 03:49 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: so there doesn't seem to be clear instructions on setting up by uuid on ubuntu forums (that i can google) but this is a clear instruction set http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-finding-using-uuids-to-update-fstab/ | 03:49 |
| Fezzler | BRB | 03:49 |
| thrillERboy | thanks tgr_ | 03:49 |
| tgr_ | my fstab does not show the uuid of my external hd | 03:50 |
| steve_baker | anyone know how to get ubuntu server to put monitor into sleep mode? | 03:50 |
| jdu | tgr_ add the device instead | 03:50 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: the instructions in the link i just gave shows you how to determine your uuid (blkid command) | 03:51 |
| jdu | steve_baker, run it headless | 03:51 |
| digitalexploit | tgr_ in a terminal once you plug it in and its mounted you can always do this "df -m" should show the device and the mounting point | 03:51 |
| jdu | ;) | 03:51 |
| steve_baker | its a laptop | 03:51 |

| blackmamba | can someone help me...I can not for the life of me figure out how to burn cd-r music cds | 03:51 |
| ryan_ | Konversation automatically logs chats? | 03:51 |
| steve_baker | jdu: if that is my only option i guess i could tear the laptop apart and unplug the monitor | 03:52 |
| musikgoat|main | digitalexploit: he wants to mount by uuid so that he can pull his ext HD out without ejecting and corrupt the filesystem :-P | 03:52 |
| steve_baker | just seems like there should be some way | 03:52 |
| jdu | steve_baker, then headless might not be the best option. That cannot be the only option. Close the lid? | 03:52 |
| digitalexploit | musikgaot|main ic | 03:52 |
| steve_baker | its an old alienware that will overheat with the lid closed | 03:52 |
| steve_baker | piece of crap | 03:52 |
| steve_baker | lol | 03:52 |
| musikgoat|main | j/k tgr_ :-) | 03:52 |
| jdu | Fezzler, unfortunately, I don't know. | 03:53 |
| digitalexploit | musikgoat|main does ubuntu still use hotplug? | 03:53 |
| tgr_ | so how do i turn off the automount feature then for the hard drive | 03:53 |
| masque7 | !jewbuntu | 03:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jewbuntu | 03:53 |
| musikgoat|main | dunno, i thought udev controlled that stuff | 03:53 |
| tgr_ | so that i can mount the user uuid first | 03:53 |
| tgr_ | not first i mean instead | 03:53 |
| masque7 | !7zip | 03:53 |
| 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 | 03:53 |

| riegersn | is there a way to hide non-mounted devices in the places list for nautilus? | 03:54 |
| masque7 | !aircrack | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about aircrack | 03:54 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: if you create an entry in /etc/fstab when you plug in the drive that matches that UUID, it will be mounted with that instruction rather than automounting | 03:54 |
| bosco | digitalexploit, thanks that worked geting done right now | 03:54 |
| masque7 | !backtrack | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about backtrack | 03:54 |

| thrillERboy | hi I've 7zip installed, how to open it, I can't see it anywhere in menus..... Also, how to extract multiple part rar files | 04:03 |
| PCTeacher012 | cpudan80:Okay, then i dont know anything else, sorry, maybe someone else can help | 04:03 |
| digitalexploit | PCTeacher012, you can remove the partitons and install windows, did you want to dual boot? | 04:03 |
| musikgoat|main | thrillERboy: it should work with file-roller but i think the command is called p7zip | 04:03 |
| masque7 | thrillERboy: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full | 04:03 |
| SpenceKid | E: Invalid operation, for all of them | 04:03 |
| masque7 | then file-roller will use that | 04:04 |
| tgr_ | so i just add this line to /etc/fstab? | 04:04 |
| tgr_ | UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7 /media/iomega ntfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 04:04 |
| masque7 | SpenceKid: do you actually have compiz installed? | 04:04 |
| PCTeacher012 | only for a short amount of time because i just want to get my files off ubuntu, then remove it and make windows fill it @ digitalexploit brb | 04:04 |
| jrib | tgr_: you realize that if you set a label for your drive, it will get mounted to /media/LABEL automatically? | 04:04 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: yes, if that happens to be the UUID, that seems like an odd one | 04:04 |
| blackmamba | <digitalexploit> it tells me to convert to wave | 04:04 |
| SpenceKid | i'm pretty sure, i used sympatic program manager and installed everythign for it | 04:04 |
| PCTeacher012 | back | 04:04 |
| SpenceKid | but i don't see anything | 04:04 |
| tgr_ | so jrib what wouldbe the problem? | 04:05 |
| musikgoat|main | jrib: i led him down the path of uuid, didn't think about that | 04:05 |
| jrib | tgr_: hmm? I didn't say anything about a problem :/ | 04:05 |
| tgr_ | ahh i see | 04:05 |
| digitalexploit | PCTeacher012, it should work but no guarantees. do you have another hard drive? | 04:05 |

| musikgoat|main | tgr_: no, what you outputted is fine, test it out | 04:06 |
| tgr_ | is there a problem with /media/iomega being the mountpoint or should it be /home/iomega? | 04:06 |
| PCTeacher012 | digitalexploit: sadly no, cant get money (too young) and cant find my flash drive, so i guess ill take the chance. To partition Ubuntu, must i boot in live CD, or will windows auto do that when installing?? | 04:06 |
| masque7 | TunnlRat: kind of like fraps? | 04:06 |
| jrib | tgr_: your choice | 04:06 |
| tgr_ | ok | 04:06 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: whatever you want, just make sure you sudo mkdir /media/iomega | 04:06 |
| tgr_ | but now everytime i want to mount or umount the device what do i have to do? mount UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7? | 04:06 |
| thrillERboy | /usr/bin/p7zip: compressed data not written to a terminal. :/ | 04:06 |
| TunnlRat | masque7, yeah exactly like Fraps, I own fraps but i no longer use windows | 04:07 |
| musikgoat|main | PCTeacher012: windows will delete ubuntu, thats as smart as it is | 04:07 |
| musikgoat|main | PCTeacher012: a Live cd will be your best bet | 04:07 |

| PCTeacher012 | musikgoat: Already tried lol, wont letme :p | 04:11 |
| jrib | !helpme | dsdeiz | 04:11 |
| ubottu | dsdeiz: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 04:11 |

| Ropechoborra | jrib, Nothing happends | 04:11 |

| musikgoat|main | xsg: no | 04:11 |
| xsg | o ok then ill get it | 04:12 |
| hanasaki | what needs to be done to tie authentication into LDAP? | 04:12 |
| musikgoat|main | !free | 04:12 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 04:12 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: ok go ahead and install windows and there are ext2/3/4 drivers for windows which can enable you to copy stuff from your linux box, unless you format you linux partitions by mistake | 04:12 |
| n8tuserf | hanasaki -> authentication of ubuntu? | 04:12 |
| xsg | will it unrar .rar files from torrents ?????? | 04:12 |
| hanasaki | n8tuserf: for user login | 04:12 |
| musikgoat|main | ubotouou: she needs to resize ubuntu to make room for xp | 04:12 |
| musikgoat|main | *he or she | 04:12 |
| PCTeacher012 | musikgoat & ubotouou: Lol, yep :p i decided this, i downloaded a uncopyrighted DVD, ill just again, my most important files i sent to a friend, this is too much of a hassle LoL | 04:12 |
| hanasaki | is there a program / tool that will let me setup like a VPS and admin it? | 04:12 |
| jrib | xsg: a rar file is a rar file. Doesn't really matter if you obtained it using a torrent | 04:13 |
| xsg | true lol | 04:13 |
| n8tuserf | hanasaki -> look into pam modules, those are the mainline configs for user login.. i dont know all the fine details though | 04:13 |
| xsg | they should have a ubuntu meatup | 04:13 |
| hanasaki | thanks n8tuserf | 04:13 |
| digitalexploit | !gnomebaker | 04:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomebaker | 04:13 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: you can't resize it safely | 04:13 |
| xsg | ubottu: i love oyu | 04:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about i love oyu | 04:14 |

| gentubuntu | For one my computer is starting up with Kubuntu loadscreen (I never installed kubuntu and my life) and it is also deleted my theme my panels whent back to grey | 04:16 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: linux swap basically is like a paging memory that helps your rams, in other words like in windows you get that in your virtual memory from system properties then advanced | 04:16 |
| kriel | ... ubotouou isn't talking to me via PM. =/ did that stop? | 04:16 |
| nomasteryoda | cool tip lstarnes | 04:16 |
| gentubuntu | And there is more can I get some help real real quick | 04:16 |
| musikgoat|main | kriel: ubotouou is not a bot | 04:16 |
| kriel | ... oh, wait. ubotouou is a person. Sorry! -tries ubottu- >.< | 04:16 |
| PCTeacher012 | ubotouou: Okay lol, thanks, ill keep that in mind if i install again, all i need is something better than Wine to keep me, because half my programs from windows dont run correctly | 04:17 |
| PCTeacher012 | lol | 04:17 |
| gentubuntu | Anyone? | 04:17 |
| breakage | clear | 04:17 |
| nomasteryoda | !ask | 04:17 |
| 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. :-) | 04:17 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: you don't need windows softwares or wine at all. there are subistitues that work better under linux than windows. So what type of apps do you usually wannt use? | 04:17 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: users is the option, add it at the end before the numbers ( comma after ro and no space) | 04:18 |
| OvernightPR | And another question, actually. Anyone know about a way to average read/write to solid state media in Ubuntu so as to preserve drive life? | 04:18 |
| musikgoat|main | OvernightPR: what do you mean by average? | 04:18 |
| gentubuntu | OK, this is for anyone, I am having problem adding of deleting or going using add/remove I get this message | 04:19 |
| gentubuntu | (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 04:19 |
| PCTeacher012 | ubotouou: Programs there is no replace for, photoshop, but gimp doesnt equal, not close, Audition (adobe) but Ardour isnt close, Pivot Hotkeys, nothing close, iTunes, nothing close, sorry :( lol | 04:19 |
| kriel | Okay, I'm having trouble burning DVD+R DL's. My first issue was that my burner didn't support that format. I've since solved that, but now with the new burner, brasero is saying that it doesn't have the plugins to support it. cdrecord pukes on me. Any help? | 04:19 |
| aspoor | yea I have restricted .deb's | 04:19 |
| gentubuntu | Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 04:19 |
| gentubuntu | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 04:19 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: it's hard to find something excately like itunes, but gimp is pretty great for me instead of photoshop | 04:20 |
| gentubuntu | This is the problem I am having anyone help me | 04:20 |
| OvernightPR | @ muskigoat Well, solid state media dies after about 10k read/write cycles. I thought that I had read about an app that essentially moved the swap (and possibly directories?) around during use to prevent repeated writes to the same sector. | 04:20 |
| musikgoat|main | OvernightPR: (i believe) every ssd manufacturer uses a layer between the physical media and the OS access, which randomizes the actual location on the disk that the data is written to, thus preserving life on the flash chip cells | 04:20 |
| PCTeacher012 | ubotouou: I need exact photoshop, Gimp just confuses me | 04:20 |
| PCTeacher012 | lol | 04:20 |
| Dizzle | can anyone help me to get my themes working correctly? | 04:20 |
| deco | i just installed ctwm how do i switch to it? | 04:20 |
| tgr_ | so UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7 /media/iomega ntfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 should be UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7 /media/iomega ntfs defaults errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 04:20 |
| gentubuntu | i got photoshop | 04:20 |
| gentubuntu | can someone help | 04:20 |
| musikgoat|main | OvernightPR: ahh, well, i recommend never using swap on ssd anyways | 04:20 |
| zarattustra | ? | 04:20 |
| zarattustra | * | 04:20 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: you just need to learn it, and how will you run all of these gui heavy apps under your old pc? | 04:20 |
| deco | i just installed ctwm how do i switch to it? | 04:21 |
| OvernightPR | @ muskigoat Got an Asus EEE PC, so not a whole lot of choice. :D | 04:21 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7 /media/iomega ntfs defaults errors=remount-ro,users 0 1 | 04:21 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: how much ram you have in there? | 04:21 |
| gentubuntu | I get this message when add/remove plus in the terminal Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 04:21 |
| gentubuntu | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 04:21 |
| tgr_ | seems like defaults is the option that is modified | 04:21 |
| PCTeacher012 | ubotouou: Dont ask me, but it worked (amazingly) I have 512 MB Ram | 04:21 |
| musikgoat|main | OvernightPR: so do i, and i installed ubuntu without swap | 04:21 |
| OvernightPR | @ PCTeacher012 There is GimpShop, which is pretty similar to Photoshop. | 04:21 |
| tgr_ | THANKS! | 04:21 |
| gentubuntu | plus my loadscreen turned to kubuntu? and my theme is messed up. Inever used kubuntu before in my life did I get hacked!! | 04:21 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: sorry, defaults and the rest should not be separated | 04:21 |
| ubotouou | PCTeacher012: 512 is not that bad i though 128 | 04:21 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7 /media/iomega ntfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 04:22 |
| PCTeacher012 | OvernightPR: I Tried, but it is just as confusing as Gimp, Photoshop was just good | 04:22 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: with the ",users" lol | 04:22 |
| PCTeacher012 | it says 256 on outside, but when i go to system properties in windows, it says 512 lol, @ubotouou | 04:22 |
| tgr_ | there was a comma | 04:22 |
| tgr_ | that threw it off | 04:22 |
| deco | how does one switch window managers? | 04:22 |
| OvernightPR | @ Muskigoat: How would I change that after install? Just remove "swap" with GParted? | 04:22 |
| tgr_ | it was tgr_: defaults,errors=remount-ro,users 0 1 | 04:23 |
| OvernightPR | @PCTeacher012 What do you use PS for? | 04:23 |

| gedinfo | Hello, Anyone know how to obtain the su password? I do not remember assigning a different password other than the one I use for logging in and for the update manager for Ubuntu 8.10. | 04:25 |
| musikgoat|main | OvernightPR: Set the 'noatime' or 'relatime' mount options in the /etc/fstab file. Look for the 'defaults' section and add 'defaults,noatime'. | 04:25 |
| gentubuntu | ubuntu is starting to suck my ubuntu turned itself into kubuntu how the heck does that happen | 04:25 |
| digitalexploit | TheShahFactor, ok thats fine you need to use something free, go spend $1000 on a os that bluescreens | 04:25 |

| gentubuntu | i guess i will just take a bat and beat the heck out of my computer office space style | 04:26 |

| TheShahFactor | digitalexploit : wont be spending 1k USD on no OS ...What are pirated versions for..But Ubuntu does behave rather randomly at times | 04:27 |

| dsdeiz | sudo apt-get clean? | 04:27 |
| deco | :-( | 04:28 |
| keres | how do you schedule disk integrity checks on startup? like how every once it in a while it does it automagically | 04:28 |
| Rave1 | gentubuntu, that is because you are trying to run two packagemanagers | 04:28 |
| YixilTesiphon | anybody familiar with errors installing asio? | 04:28 |
| mogul218 | is there a way to choose between kde and gnome at login? | 04:28 |

| ubotuouo | keres: you're thinking like windows style hmmm | 04:28 |

| gedinfo | I get an error stating 'dpkg --cofigure -a' needs to be run manually. | 04:29 |
| ubotuouo | ketes: you don't need a check everytime you start up | 04:29 |
| gentubuntu | I don't really know what a package manager is | 04:29 |
| keres | ubotuouo: no, i run linux mainly. I'm wondering how to do these, as i have always skipped them when they come up. "Routine disk checks" i guess. | 04:29 |
| gedinfo | su does not accept that password for some reason. | 04:29 |
| deco | exit | 04:29 |
| tgr_ | it says unprivileged user can not mount ntfs block devices using the external fuse library. either mount the volume as root, or rebuild ntfs-3g with integrated fue support and make it setuid root. please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged | 04:29 |
| gentubuntu | I did that gedinfo do you want me to give you pastebin | 04:29 |
| Flannel | gentubuntu: Use sudo instead of su. | 04:29 |
| ubotuouo | gedinfo: single user | 04:29 |
| Flannel | er, gedinfo. | 04:29 |
| PCTeacher012 | how do i unsubscribe from the stupid lanuchpad email list, i get 1000+ emails a day? | 04:30 |
| Flannel | gedinfo: Ubuntu doesn't use the root account (it's locked), so su won't work. Use sudo instead. | 04:30 |
| Rave1 | gentubuntu, gui way system>admin> system monitor >proccesses | 04:30 |
| dsdeiz | is it possible to unlock the root account? :S | 04:31 |
| keres | how do you _purposely_ start the "Routine disk check"s to check your hard drive for bad sectors and such? | 04:31 |
| gedinfo | Thank you very much for explaining this. I guess I still was thinking about my old RedHat 6.2 days! | 04:31 |
| Joker_-_ | anyone knows if the TV-tuner card "Vista View Saber" is supported in ubuntu / linux? | 04:31 |
| Flannel | dsdeiz: It is. But there's no real reason to do so. | 04:31 |
| gentubuntu | dpkg: status database area is locked by another process\ | 04:31 |

| jsh_ | Flannel: thanks | 04:32 |
| gentubuntu | Ravel what do I do know that I am in system monitor proccess | 04:33 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: then click unlock, input password, click on your user, then properties, then user privs, then "Mount userspace File systems" | 04:33 |
| OvernightPR | @PCteacher012 Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users | 04:33 |
| musikgoat|main | tgr_: all this because you don't want to just simply press the eject button to get it to remount to the same point every time :-P | 04:34 |
| OvernightPR | @ PCTeacher012 You already try that? | 04:34 |
| Rave1 | gentubuntu, look for a packagemanager proccess and end it.. | 04:34 |

| arooni | hey folks! my ubuntu hardy t61 laptop had a little fall today and now fsck fails. so i booted into recovery mode and ran: fsck /dev/sda1 (root partition). fsck finished once but i saw a bunch of "buffer i/o error on device sda1, logical block 1507572; error readingblock 150572 (attempting to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. ignore error<y> yes;" and "force rewrite <y>? yes" | 04:40 |

| gentubuntu | If i put jaunty over my ubuntu will i have to redo when it comes out or does it automatically update | 04:40 |
| OvernightPR | @michael Because I seem to recall that Hulu won't render in FF. | 04:41 |
| Tesla | Your hard drive is bad. | 04:41 |
| musikgoat|main | OvernightPR: but its easily apt-get'able | 04:41 |
| DasEi | OvernightPR: don't now about netbook, in regular gotta install it yourself | 04:41 |
| Tesla | You need to replace it and reinstall. | 04:41 |
| tonyyarusso | gentubuntu: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty quesstions. | 04:41 |

| gentubuntu | gnea: I can do nothing plus my load screen got changed to ubuntu somehow and my theme disapeared | 04:46 |
| gnea | gentubuntu: right, that's why you can't run more than one. you need to find the original process and take care of it. | 04:46 |
| Rave1 | gentubuntu, I said the error was caused because you were trying to run two package managers | 04:46 |
| OvernightPR | @michael Sure you just open the cork and drink it. | 04:46 |

| musikgoat|main | tgr_: i don't think thats your problem, but i'm out of ideas, you could write up what you've done in a forum post, or someone here can help you if you paste the error into a pastebin with your /etc/fstab | 04:52 |
| gnea | gentubuntu: well, it's telling you to open a web browser, go to that URL, download the documentation compressed file, copy it to /tmp, and try running the install again | 04:52 |
| cajun | clearscreen: well i would've gone back to intrepid anyway till the official release of jaunty. | 04:52 |
| Burntresistor | this may sound dumb but when i install new stuff its not easy and fast to find or atleast i dunno yet does unbuntu have a programs folder equilibration like windows | 04:52 |
| jsh__ | (That's Intrepid Ibex.) | 04:52 |
| Burntresistor | equivilent | 04:52 |

| Stupendoussteve | Burntresistor: Kind of. Most end up in /usr/bin | 04:52 |
| clearscreen | Burntresistor: synaptic / aptitude | 04:52 |
| cajun | i can't figure out why intrepid locks up like it does. in the past hour it's probably locked up 3 or 4 times. | 04:52 |
| gnea | gentubuntu: of course, you'll need to: sudo chown root.root /tmp/jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip before trying the install again | 04:52 |
| gentubuntu | gnea: Can I just delete the stupid thing I am not that good at installing thing you dowload off the web unless i use apt=get | 04:52 |
| Stupendoussteve | Burntresistor: But as clearscreen pointed out, a good package manager will show you what's installed | 04:52 |
| musikgoat|main | Burntresistor: there is whats called the $PATH which is where all binaries are checked | 04:53 |
| OvernightPR | @Burntresistor Heh. I'm hunting around for my install of Gparted, so I can sympathize. | 04:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Burntresistor: A) check the Applications menu, B) binaries in /usr/bin most of the time, C) 'dpkg -L packagename' will show you all installed files fro ma particular package. | 04:53 |
| gnea | gentubuntu: you'll never learn how to do it right if you don't bother trying. | 04:53 |
| gentubuntu | sudo chown I have no idea what that even mean | 04:53 |
| DasEi | Burntresistor: they store in /usr and subfolders mostly, you can find them by find or locate ( do sudo updatedb before) | 04:53 |
| musikgoat|main | gentubuntu: man chown | 04:53 |
| gentubuntu | are u sure its chown | 04:53 |

| musikgoat|main | omniter: in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin | 05:02 |
| Stupendoussteve | ganadist: The .torrent is on the mirrors | 05:02 |
| Tesla | Is there a way to entirely remove compiz? | 05:02 |
| Tesla | It's a waste. | 05:02 |
| omniter | musikgoat|main, i can't create new folders in those directories though :S | 05:02 |
| Stupendoussteve | Tesla: See if synaptic will let you :) | 05:03 |
| musikgoat|main | omniter: only binaries go in those directories, what are you trying to install? | 05:03 |
| Gnea | Tesla: i just tell the system not to use it :) | 05:03 |
| Stupendoussteve | Tesla: You can disable it through the appearance menu of course | 05:03 |
| omniter | musikgoat|main, blender 2.48 | 05:03 |
| * Tesla is running Ubunu on an EeePC. | 05:04 | |
| * Tesla cries. | 05:04 | |
| Stupendoussteve | Why cry? I run it on an MSI Wind | 05:04 |
| musikgoat|main | omniter: so you don't want to install ubuntu's package? | 05:04 |
| Stupendoussteve | Same thing, more or less | 05:04 |
| * Gnea looks oddly at Tesla | 05:04 | |
| Tesla | Because it can't handle Youtube without crying itself. | 05:04 |
| gemclip | vmware on a windoz system | 05:04 |
| Stupendoussteve | Blame the flash | 05:04 |
| gentubuntu | How come WINE does not show anywindow folder exceot a couple which ahve no files in it | 05:05 |
| gentubuntu | is it because im running amd64 | 05:05 |
| Gnea | Tesla: are you running regular ubuntu or the eeepc version of ubuntu? | 05:05 |
| musikgoat|main | yeah, the flash support is rediculously bad, blame SUn | 05:05 |
| Tesla | Regular. | 05:05 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sun doesn't make flash... | 05:05 |
| Chowder | gentubuntu, just edit the menus | 05:05 |
| gentubuntu | you can get flash for linux www.adob.e.com | 05:05 |
| omniter | musikgoat, that's because the ubuntu's package is 2.46 | 05:05 |
| Tesla | Because the EeePC version isn't actually well, legit. | 05:05 |
| gentubuntu | i did | 05:05 |
| Stupendoussteve | gentubuntu: flash for linux is in the repos | 05:05 |
| musikgoat|main | Stupendoussteve: oops | 05:05 |
| Stupendoussteve | maybe the medibuntu one, didn't pay attention which one | 05:05 |
| Burntresistor | whats the command to see what programs are running in the background is it still control alt del | 05:06 |
| musikgoat|main | one of those big faceless companies :-P | 05:06 |
| gentubuntu | i don't think wine work on amd64 or either toshiba laptops | 05:06 |
| Tesla | So, any packages I can safely kill without crippling functionality and improving performance? | 05:06 |
| gentubuntu | they only thing it sees is crappy IE and it wont even load that | 05:06 |
| Stupendoussteve | gentubuntu: What do you expect it to see? Did you install something within wine? | 05:06 |
| Burntresistor | why wont wine work on amd64 it installed fine i havnt tried it yet but to start up an ap | 05:07 |
| musikgoat|main | Burntresistor: you should get that windows command out of your head, there is a process list in system -> admin -> system monitor though | 05:07 |
| Burntresistor | lol do you know how many years of windows commands are in my head it might take awhile | 05:07 |
| musikgoat|main | Burntresistor: or i should say, the windows-butchered command... | 05:08 |
| brad_ | I installed pocket ubuntu today... it worked pretty well. I need a faster machine at work though (or at least more memory) | 05:08 |
| gentubuntu | Wine will not SEE my C directory except for my window folder but even that it show it up all empty | 05:08 |
| gentubuntu | can i just download exe folder straight to ubuntu and use wine to install them instread | 05:09 |
| Stupendoussteve | gentubuntu: That's how wine is meant to work... | 05:09 |
| deagle | hello all | 05:09 |
| Burntresistor | isnt there a wine room | 05:09 |
| musikgoat|main | gentubuntu: wine does not use the c directory that you may already have, it creates a virtual c directory | 05:09 |
| SpenceKid | where is compiz fusion, shouldnt it be under system -> preferences? | 05:09 |
| deagle | is anyone else having issues viewing youtube videos right from firefox? | 05:09 |
| deagle | Burntresistor: #winehq | 05:10 |
| OvernightPR | @ Tesla Also Running Ubuntu on an EEE PC. | 05:10 |
| Stupendoussteve | SpenceKid: By default there isn't one, you have to install ccsm if you want to use it | 05:10 |
| Gnea | gentubuntu: interesting things you've got going on there... any results from this command? sudo fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 05:10 |
| gentubuntu | yeah, and when I got into the visual directoy there is nothing but windows folder, and nothing is in there] | 05:10 |
| DasEi | gentubuntu:either rightclick the *.exe > opem with > wine or in trml : (sudo) wine *.exe | 05:10 |
| OvernightPR | @ Tesla I wouldn't call it fast, but it's not like I can type quickly on the little keyboard anyway. | 05:10 |
| SpenceKid | can you guide me to do that? | 05:10 |
| SpenceKid | please | 05:10 |
| Stupendoussteve | gentubuntu: Again, that is the wine c drive, not your windows install | 05:10 |
| Stupendoussteve | SpenceKid: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:10 |
| gentubuntu | so, you only supposed to use it download thing to the virtual c drive it dont show yuour real c drive3 | 05:11 |
| gentubuntu | Gnea: you want me to sudo fuser var/lib/dpkg/lock | 05:11 |
| Stupendoussteve | gentubuntu: You can download installers to the ubuntu desktop and run from there, to install within wine | 05:11 |
| musikgoat|main | gentubuntu: no, it doesn't | 05:11 |
| Gnea | Tesla: uhm, the Ubuntu-EEEpc isn't a non-legit thing, but you can get help for it in #ubuntu-eeepc | 05:11 |
| deagle | so i'm the only one who can't see a flash video from youtube's site? | 05:11 |
| Tesla | Oh god. | 05:11 |
| Burntresistor | so is gaming still possible on linux with a direct x work around | 05:11 |
| Tesla | Nonono. | 05:11 |
| Gnea | gentubuntu: yes. | 05:11 |
| Tesla | Oh. | 05:12 |
| Tesla | Wait. | 05:12 |
| Tesla | Yes. | 05:12 |
| FloodBot1 | Tesla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:12 |
| Tesla | Wait. | 05:12 |
| Stupendoussteve | Burntresistor: Sometimes | 05:12 |
| OvernightPR | @ deagle that a fresh install. | 05:12 |
| * Gnea looks oddly at Tesla again | 05:12 | |
| deagle | OvernightPR: nope | 05:12 |
| Stupendoussteve | !flood | Tesla | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Tesla: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:12 |
| Tesla | Okay, I seem to remember Canonical saber-rattling at the people who made that distro for using the Ubuntu name. | 05:12 |
| Stupendoussteve | Hmm. I could swear it used to say enter was not a punctuation key | 05:12 |
| OvernightPR | @Tesla Yeah. It's now Easy Peasey. | 05:12 |
| SpenceKid | Stupendoussteve: thanks, worked great! | 05:12 |
| musikgoat|main | Tesla: that is the eeebuntu people | 05:12 |

| ndshacker | its a 1400 ms ping to google | 05:13 |

| KL87 | hey i cant seem to change my resolution to 1024x728 its stuck at a really low resolution | 05:14 |
| Stupendoussteve | ndshacker: Unless you own the IP address you can't really do anything to fix it, that's an ISP issue | 05:14 |
| * Tesla is really confused right now, not on any particular topic, just generally confused, ಠ_ಠ | 05:14 | |
| KL87 | how do i fix that | 05:14 |
| ganesh | will it resume if ubuntu download interrupted inbetween? | 05:14 |

| Gnea | gentubuntu: it's /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 05:14 |
| Stupendoussteve | ndshacker: Probably your ISP messed up their dns server, it's not really a big deal | 05:14 |
| ndshacker | it taked like a minute in between pages | 05:14 |

| Stupendoussteve | ndshacker: The rdns thing is, the net connection is their issue too though | 05:15 |
| Stupendoussteve | ndshacker: or most likely their issue | 05:15 |
| ndshacker | so um.. what do i do? | 05:15 |
| niriven | with the new 9.04, i cannot move my panels, or set my root password, why is this? | 05:15 |
| Gnea | niriven: you need to ask in #ubuntu+1 about that | 05:15 |
| niriven | Gnea, ok thanks | 05:15 |
| Burntresistor | i understand the philosophy of what linux is trying to do but does linux ever want to replace windows witha free open source solution or will it always get second rate treatment to windows market dominance | 05:15 |
| gentubuntu | Gnea: Cannot stat var/lib/dpkg/lock: N | 05:16 |
| vexic_ | Hi, I had a question about configuring LAMP, if anyone has a second. | 05:16 |

| Stupendoussteve | ndshacker: Call your ISP and complain, they'll probably have some guy in another country answer the phone and try to run you through a script for Windows that won't fix the issue | 05:16 |
| Gnea | gentubuntu: alright... | 05:16 |
| musikgoat|main | Burntresistor: if you truly understand the philosophy, then you would know that your question is a non-question | 05:16 |
| Tesla | Burntresistor: Let's give Richard Stallman an RPG and find out. | 05:16 |
| syntax\ | does anyone here have an idea on what are the packages that are included in ubuntu-desktop? | 05:16 |
| gentubuntu | 5379 | 05:16 |
| Stupendoussteve | syntax\: A ton of them... | 05:17 |
| deagle | OvernightPR: as a matter of fact, I can watch youtube videos from google videos (as embedded) but on youtube.com all I get is a black square that when I right click it says "movie not loaded..." and then "Adobe Flash Player 10" below it | 05:17 |
| Gnea | gentubuntu: alright, you've got a terminal window open, somewhere, that is waiting for you to finish what it asked you to do. | 05:17 |
| musikgoat|main | !info ubuntu-desktop | 05:17 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-desktop (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.124 (intrepid), package size 26 kB, installed size 52 kB | 05:17 |
| ndshacker | stupendesssteve: noone lese seems to notic it | 05:17 |

| musikgoat|main | ohh, i was hoping that gave more information | 05:18 |
| Stupendoussteve | syntax\: Take the ubuntu-desktop, open synaptic and view all installed packages, and start pruning | 05:18 |
| Stupendoussteve | syntax\: That's an easier way to do it | 05:18 |
| OvernightPR | @deagle Call an old priest and a young priest? ;) | 05:18 |

| tgr | usser any idea on automounting my external hdd to a specific folder in case i unplug on accident when i am running torrents it looks like i may have to umount all and remount it | 05:37 |
| OvernightPR | @deagle That's what I'm supposing, yeah. If it all goes to pot, you can always uninstall the player and try again. | 05:37 |
| Burntresistor | would it be a total waste of money to get one of those unbuntu desk references for 8.10 | 05:37 |

| OvernightPR | dr-rice: look into edubuntu. | 05:43 |
| ndshacker | because we only have 100 upload | 05:43 |

| clearscreen | ndshacker: usually connectivity problems arise when the full capacity of upload speed is being utilized | 05:44 |

| Gnea | gentubuntu: pardon? | 05:45 |

| ndshacker | ok | 05:46 |

| vladimir_ | So I installed Xubuntu, and I'm having a sound problem... I'm not getting any. I do however have the little volume controll icon on the panel, so it seems like it would have gotten the sound driver installed. I don't hear any startup noises when I boot up either, so it doesn't seem like it'd be a program specific thing either... | 05:48 |

| Botux | hi all | 05:50 |
| BigMoopies | does anyone know anything like Sizeme in windows? It will allow you to drag folders/files to it and it will make an ISO for you for however many DVDs or CDs it will take to burn them to a CD/DVD. | 05:50 |
| usser | Aerodynamic, untar the source, go through usual ./configure && make install only instead of make install use checkinstall | 05:50 |
| vladimir_ | OvernightPR : Well, the master isn't muted, I also unmuted the pc speaker option. Still no sound. Maybe I should restart a program to try again though? | 05:51 |
| Aerodynamic | Hmm, okay. | 05:51 |
| kristian42 | I accidentally bought and ATI graphics card and installed the restricted drivers. 1 hour later I took it back to the shop and got an nvidia instead. I tried running dpkg-reconfigure of xserver-xorg, but it seems like it's trying to start X in a wacky screen mode. Any tips ? | 05:51 |
| RORgasm | Aerodynamic, ok so that will enable future cahts with that person to be logged...but the thing is when i open the private dialog box with that person....there is a history of everything we've talked about thus far...how do i log that stuff in the past? | 05:51 |
| usser | Aerodynamic, that will compile firefox and create a package that will install just like any other package. name it something else when checkinstall prompts you, like firefox-manual-build. otherwise ubuntu will try to upgrade it | 05:51 |
| Botux | i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 and am out of cds so i can either use netboot or install 7.04 and upgrade which do you think im better off trying? | 05:51 |

| jebatamandua | Brazil has some of the person there to help me? | 05:51 |
| usser | Botux, usb-boot | 05:51 |
| OvernightPR | Vladmir: My install had something called "Front" speakers with the volume all the way down, althought not muted, but the end result was no sound. You got somethiing like that? | 05:52 |
| Botux | i dont have a usb drive | 05:52 |
| clearscreen | jebatamandua: maybe. | 05:52 |
| jebatamandua | is because my ubuntu is in Portuguese. | 05:52 |
| tgr | well thanks for help before got to go | 05:52 |
| OvernightPR | Botux netboot is excruciatingly slow. | 05:52 |
| usser | Botux, netinstall may be a bit harder to do, but it'll be a clean install. 7.04 -> 8.10 upgrade may be easier but theres a chance it blows up in your face | 05:52 |
| uberg00n | ndshacker your network is probably 54mpbs or 100mbps depending on wireless, or wired... highspeed internet is only like 1/10 of those now adays.. unless you're maxing out your connection you're not going to see huge %'s | 05:53 |

| ndshacker | ok, but why is my computer still slow as &536 | 05:53 |
| Botux | i have a 7.04 retailcd ubuntu sent me thats why i was thinking that route | 05:53 |
| vladimir_ | OvernightPR : I unmuted everything for the sake of argument. Still no sound. To add to the strangeness, when I installed regular Ubuntu, I got sound just fine. | 05:53 |
| Stupendoussteve | jebatamandua: You don't have to go there, of course, but if English is difficult it may be easier for you | 05:53 |

| Aerodynamic | RORgasm, can you elaborate a bit. | 05:54 |
| Botux | i tried reading the netinstall stuff and got confused | 05:54 |
| Aerodynamic | I'm not quite understanding what you mean. | 05:54 |
| MrPocketz | is there a mem-delete or memory delete tool for Ubuntu? | 05:54 |
| DasEi | ndshacker: I'm now star poking around; from your replies I assume you're in us on 2wire, so the internet-speedmeter shall be suitable, I don't know the config of your local network or if the router itself offers shaping | 05:54 |
| Botux | is there a site that has it simplified? | 05:54 |
| Aerodynamic | Do you mean you want to log all future conversations as well? | 05:54 |

| usser | OvernightPR, wow | 05:55 |
| ndshacker | I am on wired, and its a 1.5 mbps line | 05:55 |
| RORgasm | Aerodynamic, ok so in xchat when i clcik on this person that i've talked to before...there our conversations form the past are in the PM window....enabling loggin a conversation with that person will log future chats with that person...but now the history that is currently showing up in the PM window | 05:55 |
| DasEi | ndshacker: has the router a (web-) surface you can access ? | 05:55 |
| ndshacker | yes | 05:55 |

| Aerodynamic | you can't log past conversations | 06:01 |
| Aerodynamic | logging starts from when you activate it | 06:01 |
| RORgasm | Aerodynamic, i thought that i would be able to log the past conversations because they are appearing in the PM window when i click on the person | 06:01 |

| Aerodynamic | When you initiate logging, everything the user says from that point on is logged | 06:02 |
| Stupendoussteve | bosco: Of course, it makes an extended partition (which is primary) and unlimited logical partitions inside of it | 06:02 |
| OvernightPR | @deagle pick one you like. :D | 06:02 |

| ubottu | ndshacker: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:02 |
| RORgasm | Aerodynamic, ok understood....but where is the chat history with this person located...its gotta be somewhere coz it appears when i open the persons PM window | 06:02 |
| Aerodynamic | when you talk to that person again, the logs are reloaded | 06:02 |
| ndshacker | since i set up a local nameserver, and i digged google | 06:02 |
| * OvernightPR poofs away! | 06:03 | |
| Botux | usser now that you know that i have vusta machine do you think it would be easier to install 7.04 and then upgrade? | 06:03 |
| ndshacker | and got a 0 ms response lol :p | 06:03 |
| usser | Botux, yep :) | 06:03 |
| bosco | Stupendoussteve, and with that i can still boot what ever one i want at that time right have a boot screen come up???? | 06:03 |
| Aerodynamic | Try out Preferences -> Chatting -> Logging -> "Open data folder" | 06:03 |
| Botux | ok some of the lts versions wont let you upgrade though will they? | 06:03 |
| ndshacker | but its still 1300 ms ping >.< | 06:03 |
| Stupendoussteve | ndshacker: ping is separate from dns | 06:04 |
| ndshacker | stupendesssteve: is it possible my isp throttles icmp? | 06:04 |
| Stupendoussteve | ndshacker: If you use traceroute you can attempt to see where delay might be coming from | 06:04 |
| ndshacker | ok | 06:04 |
| dr-rice | whats trace route | 06:04 |
| DasEi | ndshacker: I have no further ideas on that, as the d/l connection seems properly, and I don't think a multiport router causes this behaviour | 06:05 |
| dr-rice | is it sudo command | 06:05 |
| Botux | the other question i have is for the new ubuntu machine i have a belkin wireless entet adapter do you think itlll be hard to find a driver for it? | 06:05 |
| Stupendoussteve | dr-rice: It is a program that shows most of the routers as well as pings to them in the hops between you and the destination | 06:05 |
| ndshacker | Dasei: will call ISP in morning | 06:05 |
| gogeta | botux madwifi driver | 06:05 |
| Botux | meant to say wireless enet adapter sorry | 06:05 |
| Stupendoussteve | dr-rice: I believe a normal user can run it | 06:05 |
| pteague | would it be possible to dd particular partitions & still get them to boot or do i need to dd the entire disk? | 06:05 |
| dsnyders | dr-rice, it's like a series of pings that are each one hop longer than the next. | 06:05 |
| ndshacker | and will also speak to dad about torrents or vpn over and throttle them myself >.< | 06:05 |
| gogeta | botux ubungtu has it in the extras packages | 06:06 |
| Botux | gogeta madwifi driver a website? | 06:06 |
| lanoxx | can i install db2 on intrepid? | 06:06 |
| gogeta | madwifi is the driver for beklins | 06:06 |
| Botux | oh ok lol | 06:06 |
| usser | pteague, its possible, you might need to reinstall boot manager(grub in linux) or windows one, whatever its name is | 06:06 |
| ndshacker | ok its defintily my isp | 06:06 |
| ariqs | http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu2.1_i386.deb can someone please download that and send it ot me | 06:06 |
| ndshacker | goes from 3 ms to 1300 at my isp | 06:06 |
| dr-rice | can you turn up the power with that driver | 06:06 |
| ndshacker | skips my router without a hitch | 06:06 |
| gogeta | ariqs qhy | 06:06 |
| gogeta | why | 06:07 |
| dr-rice | the belkin | 06:07 |
| DasEi | ndshacker: if not, try that QOS 8-) | 06:07 |
| ariqs | because the download stops on me at like, 40k | 06:07 |
| hemanth | use /nick hemanth.hm | 06:07 |

| ndshacker | yep :) | 06:07 |
| gogeta | ariqs you can apt that | 06:08 |
| gogeta | its in the reps | 06:08 |
| ariqs | it stops on me there too | 06:08 |
| lanoxx | pteague, i once dd'ed my windows and linux to a bigger driver | 06:08 |
| lanoxx | it works good | 06:08 |
| DasEi | dr-rice: shows the route from remote source to your host | 06:08 |
| lanoxx | just need to reinstall grub | 06:08 |
| pteague | lanoxx: dd just the partitions or the entire drive? | 06:08 |
| gogeta | ariqs use the package manger and change yor repo mirror | 06:08 |
| gogeta | atoped on me to wtf | 06:09 |
| ariqs | gogeta: easier if someone just sends it to me | 06:09 |
| lanoxx | pteague, i dd'ed the partitions one by one, for the ntfs one i mad sure that was an entry of exact same type and size etc in the partition table (do with fdisk), do ext3 you can simply create any size (same or bigger) but if its bigger you have to use fs2resize ofter you dd'ed it | 06:10 |
| thearthur | how can i extract 503 tar files to the current directory? | 06:10 |
| ariqs | I'm sick to death of the package manager nonsense | 06:10 |

| Stupendoussteve | ariqs: Sure it's not your isp? | 06:10 |
| pteague | lanoxx: k, ty | 06:10 |
| Stupendoussteve | If you can't download it manually it's not the manager's fault | 06:10 |
| ariqs | Stupendoussteve, I seem to be staying here alright | 06:10 |
| gogeta | its doin it to me to | 06:10 |
| lanoxx | pteague, welcome :) | 06:11 |
| Stupendoussteve | ariqs: Different protocol, large difference in the amount of data being transfered | 06:11 |
| ariqs | ok, thanks for trying, gogeta. | 06:11 |
| DigitalKiwi | what's wrong with package managers? D: | 06:11 |
| lanoxx | pteague, its resize2fs not fs2resize, just made a mistake up there | 06:11 |
| pteague | np, used it before... just been a while | 06:12 |
| lanoxx | pteague, and make you u use a bs=2M or something like that otherwise it will take ages | 06:12 |
| ariqs | Stupendoussteve, it doesn't work for gogeta either. Chances are, we don't share the same isp :) | 06:12 |

| syntax\ | eqisow: the d partition needs to what? stay where it is? be backed up? Are you getting rid of XP 100%? the d partition needs to be saved not over written or deleted; its already a backup; yes im getting rid of xp 100% | 07:04 |
| Swede | lstarnes: Uhm? What does that mean? | 07:04 |
| homerhomer | well that cool, but the free one only support up to 2 gigs | 07:04 |
| dooglus | homerhomer: http://tr.im/getdrop - it gets you an extra 250MB of storage (and me too :) ) | 07:04 |
| thecommutist | gentubuntu needs to see an opthalmologist! | 07:04 |
| eqisow | syntax: OK, I follow, I think. If you have enough storage, the easiest thing may be to backup all the D partitions (which, really, should be backed up already), image the computers, then put the data back | 07:04 |
| gentubuntu | Yes but it is awesome | 07:04 |
| eqisow | syntax\: because a second partition on the same disk isn't a real backup | 07:04 |
| lstarnes | Swede: it means you need to take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst | 07:04 |
| eqisow | syntax\: there's also no need to leave anything as ntfs is a 100% linux environment | 07:05 |

| lyy | is there a linux tool to rescale a pic? | 07:06 |
| homerhomer | dooglus: sorry I already have a drop box account | 07:06 |
| Swede | lstarnes: I thought /boot/grub/menu.lst was a part of Ubuntu. | 07:06 |

| NineTeen67Comet | dawson: if you still have your live cd you can boot off it, mount the /boot partition and re-edit /boot/grub/menu.list .. | 07:06 |
| dawson | but I cannot mount my / partition | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | Swede: it's the config for grub | 07:06 |
| thecommutist | NineTeen67Comet: alsamixer | 07:06 |
| dawson | it is a reiserfs partition | 07:06 |
| ndshacker | dawson: then mount it and edit he file | 07:06 |

| popey | lyy: imagemagick has a tool called "convert" | 07:07 |
| NineTeen67Comet | thecommutist: thanks .. I'll peek at it, but I think it is more than just settings (think I checked alsamixer a few weeks ago, I'll check it again real quick) | 07:07 |
| dooglus | lyy: use imagemagick's 'convert' utility | 07:07 |
| Swede | lstarnes: Yes, I understand that. I think the best would be to reinstall GRUB, I haven't got any partitions on my computer, I haven't got the Ubuntu installation on the hard drive. Maybe it's better to reinstall grub? | 07:07 |
| ndshacker | dawson: there are some live cds tyhat work with reiserfs i believe | 07:07 |
| lyy | dooglus: thanks! | 07:07 |

| lstarnes | Swede: you could either reinstall grub or reconfigure it. If you're going to be installing a new os over everything else, you might as well reinstall grub | 07:08 |
| gentubuntu | Usuallly ubuntu wont let you access ntfs | 07:08 |
| popey | gentubuntu: yes it does | 07:08 |
| gentubuntu | no | 07:08 |
| dooglus | how safe it is to write to an the /host/... directory when running a wubi-installed ubuntu? | 07:08 |
| dawson | gentubuntu: Ubuntu let's you access NTFS | 07:08 |
| popey | gentubuntu: I'm not going to argue with you, but you're wrong :) | 07:09 |
| gentubuntu | then how come i had to get a program | 07:09 |
| gentubuntu | not out of the box | 07:09 |

| Swede | lstarnes: Yes, but the problem is that when I installed GRUB it did something with my computer and when I try to boot fron Linpus recovery usb then the computer answers GRUB Error 22. | 07:09 |
| thecommutist | gentubuntu: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 07:09 |
| lstarnes | Swede: it may be an error on the usb stick | 07:09 |
| gentubuntu | it lets you mounts your drive and access everything | 07:09 |
| Swede | lstarnes: When I installed Ubuntu, I meant. | 07:09 |
| gentubuntu | i was using 8.10 now im using suck 9.10 | 07:10 |
| Swede | lstarnes: No, no, I have used it several times before on other computers without problems. | 07:10 |
| ndshacker | ... | 07:10 |
| popey | gentubuntu: 9.10 hasn't been started, perhaps you mean jaunty 9.04? | 07:10 |
| ndshacker | 9.10? | 07:10 |
| lstarnes | Swede: make sure your BIOS checks USB and CD before hard disks | 07:10 |
| thecommutist | gentubuntu: 8.10 supports it out of the box | 07:10 |
| ndshacker | i thin you mean 9.04 | 07:10 |
| gentubuntu | oh yes | 07:10 |
| dawson | oh wait | 07:10 |
| dawson | ndshacker: | 07:10 |

| gentubuntu | Gnea: sorry for asking question my bad for being intrested and wanted to have a conversation | 07:14 |
| Slart | Swede: I don't think you can.. type !grub for grub help | 07:14 |
| austin987 | dfcnvt, what do you mean exactly? | 07:14 |
| thecommutist | n2diy: check out unetbootin | 07:14 |
| gates | where's the logoff file located? | 07:14 |
| gentubuntu | Gnea: can I just get rid of the sucky program I dont need JSE anyways | 07:14 |
| popey | gentubuntu: not here, this is a support channel not a chat channel | 07:14 |
| lstarnes | n2diy: you have to actually copy/burn the contents of the .iso to the drive, not just put the .iso on it as a file | 07:14 |
| Gnea | gentubuntu: yeah, that sort of talk is reserved for #ubuntu-offtopic. but, i am a guy. | 07:14 |
| n2diy | ok, thanks all. | 07:15 |
| popey | n2diy: unetbootin is good for making bootable usb sticks | 07:15 |
| gates | or can init + # can log off? | 07:15 |
| Gnea | gentubuntu: you should be able to just type 'no' and press enter, as I've suggested at least several times in the past couple of hours | 07:15 |
| gentubuntu | Gnea: ok i'm sorry your name sounds kind of like a girl as in Gina, I was going to says you know a lot for a girl but never mind | 07:15 |
| Swede | Slart: Ok, I think I have to use the Terminal in Ubuntu LiveCD | 07:15 |
| popey | gentubuntu: dude, enough | 07:15 |
| Slart | Swede: correct | 07:15 |
| gentubuntu | Gnea: I will try I don't know how to get back to it | 07:15 |
| thecommutist | mcp alert! | 07:16 |
| austin987 | my script has, e.g., "OS=`uname -o` || OS=`uname -s`" to determine the OS it's on | 07:16 |
| austin987 | the script is used on Ubuntu/*BSD/Solaris | 07:16 |
| Gnea | gentubuntu: well, I have to go now, so perhaps someone else can help you. BTW, you shouldn't be such a sexist, it'll get you hurt or worse. bye. | 07:16 |
| austin987 | but the '||' confuses Ubuntu (but only recently?) | 07:17 |
| gentubuntu | Gnea: one minute | 07:17 |
| popey | austin987: sh uses dash now, not bash, perhaps thats why? | 07:17 |
| dfcnvt | if the first command fail then it run afterward | 07:17 |
| Slart | austin987: are you sure it's the || that is causing trouble? I thought that was pretty basic | 07:17 |
| nxnn14 | I was wondering if anyone could help me with a graphics problem I am having | 07:17 |
| austin987 | it's been dash for a while I thought.. | 07:17 |
| dfcnvt | echo "work fine?" || echo "fail" | 07:17 |
| popey | yeah | 07:17 |
| gentubuntu | Gnea: no I was just going to complete meant if you were a girl that not being sexist more girls need to get into technology in my opinion there is not enough | 07:17 |
| austin987 | Slart, "daily.sh: 1: Syntax error: "||" unexpected" | 07:17 |
| Slart | austin987: can you pastebin the 10 or so lines around that line? | 07:18 |

| gentubuntu | why do i get this message | 07:22 |
| nxnn14 | the communist: its an nvidia, ya I had the drivers installed, but just did a fresh install and haven't gotten the internet up again yet so don't have the drivers installed again, but the problem was still there even with the drivers.

| gentubuntu | And why does ubuntu start with a kubuntu logo? | 07:23 |
| nxnn14 | the communist: yes | 07:23 |
| Slart | austin987: I just ran a small script with the offending line and the one after that.. works nicely here.. no errors | 07:24 |
| gentubuntu | go to synaptic | 07:24 |

| Slart | austin987: it works no matter if I run it as "bash test.sh" "dash test.sh" or "sh test.sh" | 07:24 |
| gentubuntu | I installed some kde programs but did not install kubuntu | 07:24 |
| austin987 | hmm | 07:24 |
| gentubuntu | popey: this is what i get when open synaptic Unable to lock something something: This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. | 07:25 |

| eqisow | arooni: lol, you could have mentioned that to begin with fella :p | 07:56 |
| arooni | its a laptop drive | 07:56 |

| arooni | i dont have a lot of options | 07:56 |

| dumb_dumb | so what that error mean | 07:58 |
| thecommutist | ariqs: smaller as in? | 07:58 |
| ariqs | file size | 07:59 |
| psypher246 | even vlc is broken???? | 07:59 |
| eqisow | dumb_dumb: it means the package is broken, more or less, because it depends on a lower version of libc6 than is installed | 07:59 |
| almark1 | I have googled many places, I am using a Audigy SE creative soundblaste | 07:59 |
| ndshacker | as in my max download it seems is 17 kb/s | 07:59 |
| ariqs | I'll just go for mandvd since I'm a MAN | 07:59 |
| thecommutist | ariqs: no idea, check with the package manager | 07:59 |
| dfcnvt | it just mean you need to get something first.. | 07:59 |
| eqisow | dumb_dumb: You can probably force it safely. Are you running a development version (jaunty) by chance? or did you do some manual installation of stuff? | 08:00 |

| psypher246 | please could someone help ,e, my intrepid install cannot play multimedia files at all and i have serious depency issues: why am i getting this: libvorbis-dev: Depends: libvorbis0a (= 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1) but 1.2.0.dfsg-4~jaunty1 is to be installed | 08:41 |
| retty | ActionParsnip yes i know , also i don't want to use wine. if i m using linux why would i use wine.it s my opinion. | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | retty: some apps run awesomely in wine, like doom3 | 08:42 |

| ActionParsnip | !jaunty | psypher246 | 08:42 |
| ubottu | psypher246: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 08:42 |
| ariqs | I thought there was a linux version of doom3? | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | retty: no it runs amazingly, it varys from app to app and version to version too | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ariqs: theres that too | 08:43 |
| magnetron | retty→ Wine doesn't emulate anything, some apps runs faster in Wine than in windows | 08:43 |
| ariqs | the lack of good games in ubuntu makes me far more productive anyway ;P | 08:43 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: ok what does that mean? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ariqs: penumbra ;) | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: if you are using jaunty, you are in the wrong place, you need to be in #ubuntu+1 | 08:44 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: i'm not runnig jaunty | 08:44 |
| psypher246 | i told you intrepid | 08:44 |
| psypher246 | my intrepid install cannot play multimedia | 08:44 |
| retty | magnetron, how is it possible . how any application that developed for windows run faster on linux? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: that is the only reason your system would ask for jaunty dependancies | 08:44 |
| aprilhare | question: I just purchased a Sony memory stick. it comes with compression software - "Virtual Expander". Is there a way to compress/decompress these files using Ubuntu, or should I steer clear? | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: Depends: libvorbis0a (= 1.2.0.dfsg-3.1) but 1.2.0.dfsg-4~jaunty1 is to be installed | 08:45 |
| magnetron | retty→ because Wine/Linux does some things more efficient than Windows | 08:45 |
| psypher246 | ONLY jaunty repo i had was to update proposed packages for libmtp as it was broken in intrepid, those repos have been removed | 08:45 |
| lstarnes | retty: certain elements of the windows api may have a faster implementation in wine than in windows | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: you should NEvER mix repos, you will end up with a big mess | 08:46 |
| psypher246 | when i try remove libvorbis0a it want's to uninstall half my machine | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: jaunty repos are for jaunty, intrepid repos are for intrepid | 08:46 |
| psypher246 | this was the only solution to the problem | 08:46 |
| lstarnes | psypher246: libvorbis0a is used by a lot of stuff | 08:46 |

| ActionParsnip | psypher246: you will have to upgrade, you cant mix repos up and expect a working system | 08:47 |
| psypher246 | so what do i do now? | 08:47 |
| psypher246 | thats al;l i added: | 08:47 |

| respecting | hello please help me when i make apt-get install linux-generic i get this error E:Couldnot find package linux generic i'm using ubuntu server 8.10 ? :( :( | 09:14 |
| ikonia | MACscr: it's very sensible, if anything the user is lame for making changes he didn't know what he was doing | 09:14 |
| marcel_ | change, sorry you need to have jaunty | 09:15 |
| ikonia | respecting: apt-cache search linux-kernel | 09:15 |
| rww | respecting: do you have the restricted repository enabled? have you done sudo apt-get update recently? | 09:15 |
| Alinn | ActionParsnip: then Windown will normaly boot.correct? | 09:15 |
| MACscr | ikonia: I guess I just don't like systems taking control away from me. but I guess that's the centos mentality | 09:15 |
| marcel_ | respecting, start synaptic and select all options in the repos prefs | 09:15 |
| ikonia | MACscr: nothing to do with centos - if you change the host file and not the hostname on centos sudo won't work either | 09:15 |
| ikonia | MACscr: it's user error | 09:15 |
| respecting | i have no GUI | 09:15 |
| respecting | :( :( | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Alinn: grub will most likely detect the other OS and add an entry for it, if not then it will need to be manually entered | 09:15 |
| kenzu | lah | 09:16 |
| respecting | how can i start synaptic without GUI :( :( | 09:16 |
| MACscr | ikonia: right, but at least with centos I can be in root at any time and not worry about the sudo stuff | 09:16 |
| ikonia | respecting: you don't need a gui, apt-cache search linux-image | 09:16 |
| marcel_ | respecting, sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:16 |
| MACscr | ikonia: but your right, I did screw up | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | MACscr: use sudo -i | 09:16 |
| Alinn | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot :) | 09:16 |
| ikonia | MACscr: you can be root with ubuntu - again user error | 09:16 |
| change | firefox restart required this is the error i got i start firefox how to correct it | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | MACscr: root is disabled for a great many reasons | 09:16 |
| ikonia | change: restart firefox then ? | 09:17 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: i think thats doing it dude | 09:17 |
| kenzu | ada yg bisa bhs indo | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | change: ive sen this before, gmme a sec | 09:17 |
| marcel_ | respecting, maybe try aptitude | 09:17 |
| change | ikonia: i got this error everytime i start firefox | 09:17 |
| ikonia | change: where did you install firefox from ? | 09:18 |
| MACscr | ikonia: why did you suggest recovery mode versus just recommending that I just do: su -, then go to root and edit the hostname? | 09:18 |
| Geoffrey2 | just a day or so ago it worked fine, now it doesn't.....sigh..... | 09:18 |
| ikonia | MACscr: because you don't know the root password | 09:18 |
| change | ikonia: it come with ubuntu 8.10 | 09:18 |
| MACscr | sorry, I thought I was told before that I couldn't su to root, my fault for not trying it first | 09:18 |
| MACscr | anyway, it worked, thanks | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | change: try: ps -ef | grep -i fire | 09:18 |

| MACscr | sorry for another lame question, but why would eth1 be renamed to eth2 if eth1 didn't exist? | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | young001: can you do the same command but use ls -la instead of just ls | 09:21 |
| ikonia | MACscr: depends if it ever existed | 09:21 |
| MACscr | well, I mean, what was the point of renaming the interfaces | 09:21 |
| young001 | ok | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | MACscr: check dmesg you will see the device being renamed | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | young001: i only need the output line, the rest we already know | 09:22 |
| MACscr | ActionParsnip: right, that's where I just saw it, just trying to figure out why it did it | 09:22 |

| ActionParsnip | young001: will you quit saying "this will be soved" it achieves nothing | 09:27 |
| MACscr | ikonia: can I delete the content of the persistent-net.rules and so it will be regenerated on boot? Would kind of like it to start from scratch for the network connections | 09:27 |
| ziroday` | Geoffrey2: hmm, it shouldn't do that. Does pulseaudio -k make sound reappear? Or does logging off and logging back in or restarting help? | 09:27 |
| lorenzosu | Ok I managed to get hold of a backup I had of menu.lst... but how come an update screwed up mu manu.lst? | 09:27 |

| young001 | /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sites-available/default | 09:28 |
| young001 | there is nothing | 09:28 |

| crab | hi. under ubuntu 8.04 (and earlier versions), if i leave my X session unattended for a while, then come back and start typing something (in an xterm, or into firefox, or another program), it behaves as though i had pressed compose before the first two keystrokes (so most of the time they get eaten up). does this problem sound familiar to anyone? | 09:31 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: young001 is there really a symlink to "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sites-available/default" ? | 09:32 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: young001 since that does not make any sense | 09:32 |
| jamieleshaw | when i use super user do on file browser that drive is not listed. | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | oCean_: i can only tell you what I'm told. i dont use apache but i can diagnose missing files ;) | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jamieleshaw: sudo you mean right? | 09:33 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: ok! | 09:33 |
| jamieleshaw | gksudo | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jamieleshaw: good lad | 09:33 |
| oCean_ | young001: do you want to check on this one more time? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jamieleshaw: you could manually mount it at cli | 09:33 |
| jamieleshaw | What do i type in? | 09:34 |
| young001 | what/ | 09:34 |
| young001 | ？ | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jamieleshaw: ok run: sudo fdisk -l what is the name of the partition to mount? | 09:34 |
| oCean_ | young001: I did not get your complete issue, but at certain point I tought the link is ok | 09:35 |
| jamieleshaw | The name is dev/sda1. | 09:35 |
| jamieleshaw | Or path | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jamieleshaw: and what mount point do you wish to use, and what file system does it use? | 09:35 |
| young001 | maybe my symlink has broken | 09:36 |
| oCean_ | young001: If you want to check: do "ls -al /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default" <-- that should be pointing (linked) to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default" | 09:36 |
| young001 | i just ready to fix it | 09:36 |
| jamieleshaw | the filesystem is ext3 | 09:36 |

| ActionParsnip | jamieleshaw: great, where do you want it mounting | 09:37 |
| oCean_ | young001: fine, no problem there | 09:37 |
| oCean_ | young001: so, what *is* your actual issue? What is wrong? | 09:37 |
| jamieleshaw | Just so it mounts by itself on start-up. | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jamieleshaw: ok then you will need an entry in /etc/fstab | 09:38 |
| jamieleshaw | Okay. | 09:38 |

| DinkyDogg | Hey, have any of you ever used gpart to recover a partition table? My partition table got busted, and I'm wondering what my chances are. I'm running it now, and it's found my swap space (at the start of the disk) but nothing else yet. That indicate anything? It should have scanned the beginning of the next partition at least by now. | 09:41 |
| young001 | /etc/apache2/sites-available/default there is no files there | 09:42 |
| oCean_ | young001: no, it should be a file itself, the "default" | 09:43 |

| notregistered111 | any ideas anyone? | 10:01 |
| okey666 | MrSunshine: what type of keyboard is this | 10:01 |

| notregistered111 | should I be using update-alternatives or dpkg-reconfigure or something? | 10:03 |
| okey666 | MrSunshine: when you say in the terminal, is this in a gui, or are you not using one | 10:03 |
| notregistered111 | achadwick: yeah, that's what I'm trying to do :) | 10:03 |

| pinPoint | or is it a manual install by downloading the .tar.gz file? | 10:09 |
| notregistered111 | achadwick: I've already taken that as a "yes" and fixed it - thanks for the help :) | 10:11 |
| achadwick | notregistered111: up to you. I'm not sure what you're trying to fix or do here; however, I've never had any had any problems with PAM being stuffed on Ubuntu upgrades before. | 10:11 |
| notregistered111 | pinPoint: I've installed it for one of our developers before from the repos | 10:12 |
| notregistered111 | pinPoint: that was on an internal server mind you, so the world and her husband's repos were enabled on it :) | 10:12 |
| pinPoint | notregistered111: will it still have a configuration page via browser when you do it that way? | 10:13 |
| notregistered111 | achadwick: the upgrade seems to deeply dislike a vanilla pam_chroot installation | 10:13 |
| notregistered111 | achadwick: actually, I say "vanilla", I'm assuming there that the admin I let touch it followed my instructions | 10:14 |
| notregistered111 | a very silly thing to do :) | 10:14 |
| notregistered111 | pinPoint: The finer points of phpmyadmin are lost on me as I don't use it, but the guy who does has no problems afaik | 10:15 |
| JosefAssad | looks like no one uses cdargs | 10:15 |
| notregistered111 | anyway, thanks for nudging me into action, achadwick - now I must go and do some bloody work. Bysey-bye. | 10:16 |

| Macool | and i erased the partition where Mac was installed, and don't know how to boot Ubuntu | 10:46 |
| zigga15 | Kimi: you need to get rid of your windows to do that -> then install ubuntu, make sure you do the partition correclt and then you can install windows on your other parition | 10:47 |
| beli | Macool: last time: you dont want to read documentation...so use supergrub...its ment for grub/linux/boot newbies | 10:47 |

| zigga15 | put the cd in reset your computer it shoud say: "press any key to boot from cd" | 10:48 |
| zigga15 | bootfrom theCD | 10:48 |
| Kimi | zigga15, NO.. am not getting "guided resize and used freed space" option..... | 10:49 |
| zigga15 | otherwise you will have to enter your bios | 10:49 |
| Kimi | zigga15, thats why i need to move wubi to its real ubuntu partition | 10:49 |
| zigga15 | you should if you have a bootable Ubuntu8.2 disk | 10:49 |
| Kimi | zigga15, ? | 10:49 |
| Macool | beli: so, could u explain me how to use supergrub? | 10:49 |

| StepNjump | I run this on a Mini Acer Aspire @ 1GB | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: works fine here :) | 10:57 |
| psychomantis | the latest version released is 9.04 in few days | 10:57 |
| psychomantis | ... | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: doesn't work here, pulseaudio gets in the way | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: i'm guessing creative audigy ? | 10:57 |
| StepNjump | Is 9.04 a beta? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: yes its beta | 10:58 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: no, M-Audio Delta 1010LT | 10:58 |
| StepNjump | Ah yes, I stay away from those | 10:58 |
| StepNjump | I'm not a developper | 10:58 |
| psychomantis | no in few days full version will release | 10:58 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: pulseaudio keeps getting in jackd's way | 10:58 |
| psychomantis | go out | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: could compile alsa | 10:58 |
| ariqs | why release so many new versions all the time? | 10:58 |
| psychomantis | every 6months | 10:58 |
| age6racer | Hey all, Does anybody here use vmplayer? I'm finding that it uses loads of my swap file even though there is over a gigabyte of ram left empty (and I have vmswappiness set to 0) | 10:58 |
| StepNjump | ActionParsnip, I might sound very green to all of you but I am sort of new to bash shell commands | 10:58 |
| psychomantis | a new version release | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ariqs: its the release mpa of ubuntu | 10:58 |
| ariqs | i'm still at 8.04, and the only reason I'd upgrade is because I have to because there is no longer support for it | 10:59 |
| StepNjump | How can I install a tar.gz compressed application? | 10:59 |
| Duzchip | Hi, i'm using ubuntu 8.10 and i'm having some trouble. Yesterday the visual effects worked fine on my laptop. Today (now using an external screen aswell) they refuse to work. If i try to run compiz in the terminal the entire Xserver crashes | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: many dont use it, it offers huge power | 10:59 |
| oCean_ | ariqs: read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 10:59 |
| psychomantis | why? jus to secure your systeme against hackers virus etc and | 10:59 |
| Macool | cya | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: tar zxvf <tar.gz filename here> | 10:59 |
| Duzchip | Problem number two is that my Atheros (ar242x) refuses to connect to WPA/WPA2 wireless networks | 10:59 |
| ariqs | seems quite uppity! | 10:59 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: even then, there's no usable -rt support in 8.10 | 10:59 |
| StepNjump | oh that's it | 10:59 |
| StepNjump | ok | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ariqs: 8.04 is supported for a good while yet | 11:00 |
| ariqs | ActionParsnip, I have to compile my stuff quite often ): | 11:00 |
| StepNjump | Are those usually source files or are they usually already compiled? | 11:00 |
| psychomantis | just to protect your systeme and make | 11:00 |
| psychomantis | inovation | 11:00 |
| psychomantis | for your new os | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Duzchip: have you installed and configured WPA supplicant? | 11:00 |
| Duzchip | ActionParsnip: i probably have not | 11:01 |
| StepNjump | I guess what I am trying to ask is: how do I install afterwards? Does that tar.gz command install the app automatically after decompressing also? | 11:01 |
| Duzchip | ActionParsnip: no wait, its installed | 11:01 |
| Kimi | psychomantis, i am NOT getting "guided resize and use freed space" option | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Duzchip: is it configured? | 11:01 |
| === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin | ||
| Duzchip | ActionParsnip: Probably not | 11:02 |
| gordonjcp | right, anyway, seems no-one knows much about network manager | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !wpa | 11:02 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 11:02 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: is that aimed at me? | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | was for Duzchip | 11:03 |
| gordonjcp | ok | 11:03 |
| gordonjcp | is there something similar for the wired network? | 11:03 |
| ariqs | I noticed evolution has an annoying feature where it won't show you any of your mail until it downloads it all. Don't suppose there is a bypass for this? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: whats your issue? | 11:03 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: using network manager, I can't set up a wired network manually without a gateway IP addy | 11:03 |
| gordonjcp | unless it's got *something* in the gateway box, OK is deactivated | 11:03 |
| LollipopLand | anyone know where the restricted-manager is? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: make it 127.0.0.1 | 11:04 |
| hateball | LollipopLand: are you talking about jockey-gtk ? | 11:04 |
| age6racer | So any ideas anyone? vmplayer using swap instead of ram? | 11:04 |
| LollipopLand | im trying to load drivers for an ATI Radeon X1550 which ati doesnt have any linux drivers for | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: yuo SHOULD make it your routers internal IP | 11:04 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: no, I shouldn't | 11:04 |
| psychomantis | kimi waht you wanna do ? | 11:04 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: I don't want a gateway configured for the wired interface | 11:04 |
| psychomantis | exactly | 11:04 |
| g4lt-lappy | gordonjcp, with ANY wired network, you can't set it up without a gateway.... | 11:05 |
| gordonjcp | g4lt-lappy: yes you can | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: ahh so the wired connection has a gateway, but the wireless is to not have 1? | 11:05 |
| Kimi | psychomantis, I am NOT getting the resize option itself... asked in forums and also here many times.... no help | 11:05 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: yes, sorry, I mentioned that earlier I thought | 11:05 |
| Kimi | psychomantis, atleast , hope you can help me | 11:05 |
| g4lt-lappy | gordonjcp, really, and how are the packets supposed to route to 0.0.0.0 without one? | 11:05 |
| gordonjcp | maybe I didn't | 11:05 |
| LollipopLand | so im just trying to load the regular ati drivers so i can at least get the correct resolution for my monitor even if i cant get the visual effects to be extra | 11:05 |
| gordonjcp | g4lt-lappy: they're not | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: if you are using static IP you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces and uninstall that stupid network manager rubbish | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: sounds like a better idea | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | the network manager thing is handy for wifi | 11:06 |
| g4lt-lappy | of course, if you aren't using it to route, why are you using networkmangler anyways, use ifconfig | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: true, if the system is static IP use that, it'll make it boot faster too as the devices will come up faster | 11:06 |
| === alexander_ is now known as Lauta_Army | ||
| g4lt-lappy | networkmangler's primary purpose in life is to ensure you ALWAYS have a default route that works | 11:07 |
| g4lt-lappy | not to ensure that non-routed interfaces are up | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | g4lt-lappy: sure you can. | 11:08 |
| gordonjcp | g4lt-lappy: because network mangler spots the interface come up and then tries to grab a DHCP lease | 11:08 |
| gordonjcp | g4lt-lappy: network mangler works perfectly for wifi, and I want to keep it for that because it makes life much easier there. I just want it to stay off my wired interface | 11:09 |
| Duzchip | ActionParsnip: Still cant get it to work | 11:09 |
| LollipopLand | yes | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | g4lt-lappy: it's one of the deeply frustrating things I find about Ubuntu - if you want to use something as supplied like nm for one part but not another, it becomes needlessly complex | 11:10 |

| sheoran_ | <him 89> this is safe for ubuntu 8.10 | 11:51 |
| him89 | sheoran_, yes it is | 11:51 |
| ursus | ActionParsnip: I tried it, but I can't move the unallocated space to the extended partition... | 11:51 |
| Ned__ | Kartagis I'm not sure how I would do that because it's a menu of list you click on? | 11:51 |
| doleyb | dbu: can't you use wget instead? | 11:51 |
| Ubersoldat | dhq_, why netcat and not wget? | 11:51 |
| Kartagis | do I need to dpkg-reconfigure xorg? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ursus: can'y you create another primary partition? | 11:51 |
| Ubersoldat | sorry, dhq_ , it was for dbu | 11:51 |
| Kartagis | Ned__, eh? | 11:51 |
| ursus | ActionParsnip: Yes, I can | 11:51 |
| hateball | !rpm | him89 and sheoran_ | 11:51 |
| ubottu | him89 and sheoran_: 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) | 11:51 |
| sheoran_ | <him 89> but ubottu implies that this is not safe for ubuntu 8.10 | 11:51 |
| dbu | doleyb: I want to try with nc - can't make life too easy. | 11:52 |
| Ned__ | Kartagis do I use the screenshot or something? Or is that something I can copy and paste? | 11:52 |
| him89 | ubottu, i know that but he wanted a way and i just pointed to it | 11:52 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:52 |
| Kartagis | Ned__, copy and paste? | 11:52 |
| Ubersoldat | dbu, you would have to open the connectio and send a GET | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ursus: i'm not sure about resizing extended partitions to encompass more space but i get what you mean. If a primary partition works then i'd run with it | 11:52 |
| dbu | Ubersoldat: ty. | 11:53 |
| stuffz | how do I access the session menu with the keyboard in gdm? | 11:53 |
| Desen | !ubersoldat | 11:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubersoldat | 11:53 |
| ursus | ActionParsnip: So it is easier to use it as a Primary partition, and forget to move it? | 11:53 |
| stuffz | it's set to some mental resolution, so I can't see whether there are underlines letters and suchlike | 11:53 |
| Ubersoldat | that's the second time that happens today | 11:54 |
| him89 | !apt | 11:54 |
| 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) | 11:54 |
| stuffz | ( the desktop is fine ) | 11:54 |
| sheoran_ | <him 89> hello tell me yaar | 11:54 |
| Ned__ | Kartagis sorry I'm new...trying to figure out how I'm supposed to do this | 11:54 |
| him89 | sheoran_, i told you, you can use the link i gave | 11:54 |
| him89 | its safe | 11:54 |
| Desen | Ubersoldat, i used sudo apt-get gnome-panel, it worked but after restart, it still doesnt display the header and footer | 11:54 |
| ursus | ActionParsnip: It's ok, I formatted the unallocated space as a primary partition, ext3. But now it is unmounted. How can I mount it? | 11:54 |
| Kartagis | Ned__, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:54 |
| sheoran_ | <him 89> is it safe na really .... | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ursus: if it works then sure | 11:54 |
| him89 | sheoran_, its safe | 11:55 |
| Ned__ | Kartagis ok | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ursus: i'd add an extra line in /etc/fstab for it | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | ursus | 11:55 |
| ubottu | ursus: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 11:55 |

| ljsoftnet | sorry guys, i typed the wrong version, i was referring to how to uninstall jdk 6 update 13 | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | unitedpotsmokers: you need to replace the bit in [public.key.number] with the code in your key error | 12:10 |
| jrib | wastedboy: no question there :) | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | unitedpotsmokers: and you flooded AGAIN | 12:10 |
| unitedpotsmokers | ActionParsnip, : if i type sudo -s ... so we need to add "sudo" also? | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | unitedpotsmokers: use pastebin so yo dont scroll the channel | 12:10 |
| wastedboy | jrib: the idea is I'm having permissions problem | 12:10 |
| jrib | wastedboy: ok, but tell us what it is... | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | unitedpotsmokers: dont use sudo -s, use sudo -i | 12:10 |
| wastedboy | jrib: I couldn't rsync the whole / dir | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | unitedpotsmokers: after that you dont need to retype sudo | 12:10 |
| jrib | wastedboy: how did you try? | 12:11 |
| wastedboy | jrib: it requires root access, but since I've disabled sshing using that, I'm not sure what am I missing kinda dizzy with lake of sleep and such | 12:11 |
| Chousuke | ActionParsnip: -s and -i both give a root shell | 12:11 |
| jrib | wastedboy: use sudo, no? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Chousuke: -i uses the users environment | 12:11 |
| quizme | how do i install glib 2 ? | 12:11 |
| Chousuke | ActionParsnip: yeah | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Chousuke: so you can use ~/ and it wont go to /root as well as using the users ~/.bashrc | 12:12 |
| jrib | quizme: why? You most likely already have it | 12:12 |
| wastedboy | jrib: I can't rsync from the machine with root ssh disabled to my other machines | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Chousuke: so users familiar with ~/ will see their data go to the wrong place then worry when its not where they expect | 12:12 |

| marcel_ | hello | 12:32 |
| santiago | ? | 12:32 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | When i switched from XP to ubuntu, i made two partitions, both NTFS. One was empty, and one contained over 80gb of stuff(i did this so i wouldnt lose my massive collection of music). When i installed ubuntu it installed to the first partition and converted it to EXT3. Great. | 12:32 |
| jurism | I don't have any error in terminal. Server doesnt restart. I have 100% CPU usage foe ata_aux process | 12:33 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | Then when it booted, worked fine for a few days, but then I realised i still had two partitions, so i transfer all my files all over to the ext3 partition, and boot up in the partition editor live cd i got off the net. Yeah great, deleted the NTFS partition, and then resized the EXT3 partition to the full HDD and made sure i didnt touch the swap partition. | 12:33 |
| marcel_ | i have my custom kernel, can i install the nvidia packages so that is uses my kernel? is there a way to configure, i am now using nvidia binairy drivers | 12:33 |

| russ5811 | darren, i'm there...then what? | 12:49 |
| darren | sombir - plug it in? | 12:49 |
| darren | russ5811: service type SSH | 12:50 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | orochi any mp3 player that supports mass storage will work in ubuntu. I love the chipods from ebay | 12:50 |
| GibbaTheHutt | orochi, I have a sansa fuze, but really depends what features you need | 12:50 |
| russ5811 | ok | 12:50 |
| darren | russ5811: the ip on your network you want to connect to | 12:50 |
| darren | russ5811: then the username - it'll prompt for a password | 12:50 |
| russ5811 | would that be the router's ip? | 12:50 |
| orochi | GibbaTheHut: The sansa fuze was one I was looking at actually :> | 12:50 |
| sidhrt | i have a 5 channel speakers and i get sound from only front speakers.. others not working.. can anyone help , please? | 12:50 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | hey you know the numbers that your hdd has like hd1,4? how do i find what my hdd is | 12:50 |
| darren | nope, the machine you want to connect to | 12:50 |
| russ5811 | and that goes in the "server" box? | 12:50 |
| darren | yep | 12:51 |
| orochi | the only features i need from an mp3 player are that it plays music and the interface isn't too horrifying ;P | 12:51 |
| russ5811 | ok. what about folder and port? | 12:51 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | hey you know the numbers that your hdd has like hd1,4? how do i find what my hdd is? | 12:51 |
| orochi | (that and it supports mass storage properly) | 12:51 |
| darren | russ5811: leave them blank, and I normally tick the bookmark box | 12:51 |
| simplexio | mib_3y3dl51w: hda1, hdb, hdc you get the naming idea ? | 12:51 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | so my partition would be hda1? awesome | 12:51 |
| simplexio | mib_3y3dl51w: or depending your system they may be also sda, sdb,sdc | 12:51 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | nah mines ata | 12:51 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | so probably sda | 12:52 |
| russ5811 | ok. what does the user name do. is that my login user id for the ubuntu profile? | 12:52 |
| RoyK | wtf does ubuntu store disaplay settings? I want to reset monitor orientation, but I can't see anything on the display, so I need to do it in the config files from a terminal | 12:52 |
| GibbaTheHutt | orochi, depends if you mean the mp3 interface its fine, one possible downside is it has an sdcard slot (so I have 8+4Gig), but it sort of combines them into one, which some find messy | 12:52 |
| darren | russ5811: yea, the username on the machine you're try to connect to | 12:52 |
| grawity | russ5811: yes, the login user ID is called "username" | 12:52 |
| cpd | fddf | 12:52 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | RoyK, what gfx card do you have | 12:52 |
| russ5811 | thatnks darren! i'll give it a shot. | 12:52 |
| simplexio | mib_3y3dl51w: probably sda, but ubuntu dosnt not guarantee tahat ide0 master is sda or hda and so on , you can only trust UUIDs to be same in every boot, check /dev/disk/by-????/ | 12:53 |
| orochi | GibbaTheHut: Hmm, that's a weird way of doing it...on the other hand having an expansion slot is great IMO, that's why I liked the PSP :> | 12:53 |
| RoyK | mib_3y3dl51w: ati | 12:53 |
| erUSUL | RoyK: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:53 |

| RoyK | erUSUL: I couldn't find anything there | 12:53 |
| GibbaTheHutt | orochi, its nice to use though, I use it plugged into soundcard on pc, and use it to play music on pc (which goes into stereo) | 12:53 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | RoyK sorry, never used ati, nvidia has its own linux drivers XD | 12:53 |
| erUSUL | RoyK: then maybe it is on gconf... try gconf-editor | 12:53 |
| GibbaTheHutt | headphones nice too, all good, but read the forums first maybe just to see | 12:54 |

| mib_3y3dl51w | LOL at sombir? | 13:00 |
| sarmisak | it should have installed just fine, maybe there is some other configuration problem | 13:00 |
| orochi | mib_3y3dl51w: somehow i doubt it's an "ubuntu question" :P | 13:00 |
| GibbaTheHutt | mib, guessing its as partition numbers changed or something... | 13:00 |
| poi | hi | 13:00 |
| santiago | sermisak: what does that mean????? | 13:00 |
| sarmisak | have you tried loading the theme from System > Preferences > Emerald Theme Manager? | 13:01 |
| usuario | ola | 13:01 |
| === poi is now known as Guest40455 | ||
| mib_3y3dl51w | im guessing they did, but i honestly dont understand how to find out what my partition number is | 13:01 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | orochi ? | 13:01 |
| usuario | k pasa?? | 13:01 |
| simplexio | mib_3y3dl51w: no idea what is problem, but you could do grub-install | 13:01 |
| Guest40455 | i tried to setup ubuntu from CD then i ve disk space but couldnt saw from disc this free zone. What should i do ? | 13:01 |
| proteusguy | sudo apt-get install lib64stdc++6 libc6-dev-amd64 gdb64 lib64stdc++6-4.3-dbg does not get me a working 64bit g++. :( | 13:01 |
| russ5811 | i'm trying to file share between two ubuntu boxes connected via the same wireless router. there is no windows environment. i have gone to places > connect to server as instructed and changed the service type to ssh. i then ran /sbin/ifconfig and put in the ip address. it says connection refused. am i doing something wrong? | 13:02 |
| simplexio | mib_3y3dl51w: attleast it should try boot grub, and fail to error. if not, you dont have grub on mbr, so grub-install should ficx it then | 13:02 |
| darren__ | can someone tell me about !cookies | 13:02 |
| simplexio | russ5811: did you start open-ssh server on target machine | 13:03 |
| adac | How are the passwords saved in ubuntu? are they somehow encrypted? | 13:03 |
| simplexio | adac: /etc/shadow | 13:03 |
| russ5811 | simplexio. no how is that done? | 13:03 |
| sarmisak | adac: of course | 13:03 |
| grawity | russ5811: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 13:03 |
| dandre | hello, | 13:03 |
| Lartza_ | What is kernel build files package called? | 13:03 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | I need to know what my HDD number is (like hd1,1 hd2,5) how do i find this or work it out? | 13:04 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: do you mean headers? | 13:04 |
| russ5811 | gravity: on both machines i take it? | 13:04 |
| simplexio | adac: and yes, they are. but best defense is that users cant read it | 13:04 |
| adac | simplexio, oh i see! so noone is able read them out if he gets my hard drive? | 13:04 |
| lanoxx | is the new adobe reader available for x64? | 13:04 |
| lanoxx | version 9.1 | 13:04 |
| sarmisak | mib_3y3dl51w: type this; mount | 13:04 |
| darren__ | russ5811: yep, both of them | 13:04 |
| lanoxx | !adobe | 13:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about adobe | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: how many physical hard drives do you have? | 13:04 |
| russ5811 | allright | 13:04 |
| lanoxx | !reader | 13:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about reader | 13:04 |
| lanoxx | 13:04 | |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 13:04 |
| Lartza_ | I installed headers, but it's complaining | 13:05 |
| simplexio | i remeber times when it was pretty easy to get all under 5 char pssswords if you got passwd file | 13:05 |
| dandre | I have a file (in fact a Maildir "encoded" message). Haw can I extract the attachement encoded in that message? | 13:05 |
| sarmisak | mib_3y3dl51w: it should print a list of mounted partitions, you can see it there such as /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 | 13:05 |
| Lartza_ | Oh I might need to reboot huh? :D | 13:05 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | thank you sarmisak | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sarmisak: wont tell him the drive number though | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: how many physical drives do you have? | 13:05 |
| dumb_dumb | guys i read some of virtual server ( Xen, KVM, VirtualBox) which one is good for ubuntu server? | 13:05 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | nope i just see a load of code | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | dumb_dumb: all are fine | 13:05 |
| sarmisak | ActionParsnip: I know, but at least it would give an idea ;) | 13:06 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | how can i paste a lot of code here? | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sarmisak: it gives us the partition number ;) | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: use pastebin | 13:06 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | http://www.mibbit.com/pb/k7IJHf | 13:06 |
| simplexio | dumb_dumb: what ever you like.. vbox is good to run windows desktop. i think kvm is more to servers | 13:06 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | there we go | 13:06 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | this is what i get when mount is typed | 13:06 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | http://www.mibbit.com/pb/k7IJHf | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: can you pastebin the outrput of sudo fdisk -l as well please | 13:07 |
| russ5811 | darren, simplexio: thanks. it's working. one more question: how can i make this link permanent or do i have to log in every time | 13:07 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | i have 1 ATA hdd, and one ATA cd drive, the hdd as master, cd as slave | 13:07 |
| Lartza_ | Naah I get error saying Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel. | 13:07 |
| darren__ | russ5811, if you've added a bookmark, it'll save it to places | 13:07 |
| dumb_dumb | so xen and kvm not support windows? | 13:07 |
| Makdaam | hello, do you know any active jackd related irc channels/mailing lists/forums? | 13:07 |
| russ5811 | fantastic!! thanks so much guys. | 13:07 |
| Lartza_ | I am running on Virtualbox | 13:07 |
| simplexio | mib_3y3dl51w: sda6, could be hd0,3 too.. btw grub prompt has autofill if you hit tab | 13:07 |
| Lartza_ | Server disc, minimal virtual machine install | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: if you only have 1 HDD the drive number will always be ZERO | 13:08 |
| hateball | Lartza_: have you installed build-essentials ? | 13:08 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | AHAHA | 13:08 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | thanks, that did it actionparsnip | 13:08 |
| darren__ | russ5811, no problem. A pleasure finally knowing something that I can help someone with haha | 13:08 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | ok i will keep that in mind, thanks for all your help | 13:08 |
| darren__ | russ5811, only just learnt that myself the other day - I've had ubuntu for about a week as my main machine. | 13:08 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | and you samisak | 13:08 |
| === xi_ is now known as meow-chan | ||
| sarmisak | mib_3y3dl51w: n.p. | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: the partition numbe is the output from fdisk -l. if you look at the partition number you want to boot in the output and minuus 1 you will get the partition number to grub (grub numbers start at 0, not 1) | 13:09 |
| Lartza_ | My error propably | 13:09 |
| Lartza_ | Didn't install headers for server... | 13:09 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: try this; sudo apt-get install linux-headers | 13:09 |
| Lartza_ | Solved | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: so to boot /dev/sda1 the grub line is (hd0,0) for /dev/sda2 (hd0,1) etc | 13:09 |
| darren__ | right then, who here knows a lot about, and is keen on torrents? | 13:09 |
| Lartza_ | I needed linux-headers-x.x-server | 13:09 |
| lanoxx | http://pastebin.com/f7da3404d | 13:09 |
| lanoxx | oh nvm | 13:10 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about startx | 13:11 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | apparently hd0,6 doesnt exist | 13:11 |
| Lartza_ | X.org or XFree86 I think, then enlightment | 13:11 |
| zigga15 | otherwise sudo apt-get gnome | 13:11 |
| Pupeno-G | Coin: You can continue here in English, it's not a problem, but you can try #ubuntu-pt if that's easier for you. | 13:11 |
| zigga15 | type in startX | 13:11 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | ahh 0.5 | 13:11 |
| zigga15 | from terminal | 13:11 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | just saw that | 13:11 |
| Coin | Ok man =D thanks for your advise, i'll try on ubuntu-br | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: they are hashed in /etc/shadow | 13:11 |
| Lartza_ | Unknown job X | 13:12 |
| simplexio | adac: yes.. game is lost every time if someone get physical access to your computer, offcourse you can use long 8+ char long password to increase time to bruteforce your password | 13:12 |
| Lartza_ | zigga15: You don't even know what I am doing? If I have server it's all terminal... | 13:12 |

| bazhang | zigga15, stop that | 13:13 |
| aar | Hi, anyone know why webmin is not in the ubuntu repositories? Is it because there is a better alternative? | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !webmin | aar | 13:13 |
| ubottu | aar: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 13:13 |
| michael33t | hello | 13:13 |
| adac | simplexio, ActionParsnip ok i see. Is the hash algortim that is used for the account passwords md5? | 13:13 |
| simplexio | adac: if you feel paranoid, goog about dmcrypt and root crypt :). its pretty hard to crack those open | 13:13 |
| michael33t | does anyone here know simple C++ | 13:13 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: you should install xubuntu-desktop maybe, it's a lightweight desktop | 13:13 |
| aar | ActionParsnip, thanks | 13:13 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | actionparsnip http://www.mibbit.com/pb/XMvo3U thats the output from the command its still not working | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: yep | 13:14 |
| Boohbah | !ebox | 13:14 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 13:14 |
| Pupeno-G | michael33t: you can try #c++ | 13:14 |
| Lartza_ | sarmisak: I am installing enligtenment | 13:14 |
| aar | Boohbah, thanks | 13:14 |
| michael33t | Pupeno-G, there is no such room. | 13:14 |
| Lartza_ | Now I am installing xorg, then prerequisities for compiling enlightenment | 13:14 |
| meow-chan | i've got a few questions for the people here | 13:14 |
| meow-chan | is anyone here familiar with winki? | 13:15 |
| Pupeno-G | michael33t: well, it redirects to ##c++ | 13:15 |
| darren__ | I want to discuss programing lang suggestions - anyone have any? | 13:15 |
| === htrejh_afk is now known as htrejh | ||
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: mark /dev/sda6 as bootable then use: (hd0,5) | 13:15 |
| adac | simplexio, ActionParsnip I'm currently thinking of encrypting the whole partition. But I think if those passwords are md5 hashs and pretty long it should be enough to encrypt only the home partition. What do you think? | 13:15 |
| michael33t | darren__, wat language | 13:15 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | how do i mark it as bootable? i am very new to this but am not going to give up | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | adac: i've never done it as I dont wear a tinfoil hat | 13:15 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | LOL at actionparsnip | 13:16 |
| darren__ | Well, I want to start an Open Source project that works on Ubuntu - I'm looking for people to get involved, but I don't know what lang to start in. | 13:16 |
| meow-chan | is anyone here familiar with winki the ripper (its dvd rip/encode program) | 13:16 |
| michael33t | darren__, do you know c++? | 13:16 |
| meow-chan | its download has some pre packages already source, debian etch, ubuntu dapper and feisty | 13:16 |
| sarmisak | michael33t: what do you need with c++? | 13:16 |
| simplexio | adac: actually if you feel paranoid you want crypt /home/ /var /tmp and swap partition. if you odnt feel so paranoid just crypt /home/ and /var | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: its a function in fdisk / cfdisk | 13:16 |
| darren__ | Nope, I know PHP, Javascript, web stuff etc | 13:16 |
| Lartza_ | Can ubuntu or any linux take internet from windows? | 13:16 |
| meow-chan | i currenty use ubuntu hardy | 13:16 |
| michael33t | sarmisak, problem with my code | 13:17 |
| michael33t | and i need help with it | 13:17 |
| meow-chan | would it be wise for me to download oen of the pre configed packages? | 13:17 |
| Boohbah | adac: http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/199 | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda | 13:17 |
| darren__ | Lartza_, how do you mean? | 13:17 |
| Boohbah | adac: if you feel paranoid, don't use MD5 | 13:17 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, could you explain what you're trying to do? | 13:17 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: with virtualbox? | 13:17 |
| simplexio | adac: oretty much all other dirs like /usr /boot etc.. have only stuff form distro, so no personal stuff | 13:17 |
| === omarch is now known as titi | ||
| Lartza_ | sarmisak: No | 13:17 |
| adac | Boohbah, ActionParsnip hehe :P | 13:17 |
| michael33t | sarmisak, can u help me with my code? | 13:17 |
| Lartza_ | One computer with 2 NIC, one connected to internet, one to ubuntu computer | 13:18 |
| sarmisak | !pastebin | michael33t | 13:18 |
| ubottu | michael33t: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 13:18 |
| adac | simplexio, yes that is the point | 13:18 |
| Lartza_ | Could the ubuntu computer use internet and how to configure that? | 13:18 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, you want to make a gateway? | 13:18 |
| bullgard4 | Why prints 'sudo netstat -tulpen' (http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394711) in the first line for port 2628=Dictionary Server as program name=0, and is not more specific as the rest lines? 'ps 5380' prints yet 'dictd 1.10.10: 0/0'. | 13:18 |
| sarmisak | michael33t: paste the code, I can try at least | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: why does netstat need sudo? | 13:18 |
| michael33t | sarmisak, can i pm u | 13:18 |
| sarmisak | michael33t: yeah, sure | 13:18 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | actionparsnip i cant seem to work this out | 13:19 |
| simplexio | adac: google dmcrypt. im currently running 4xhd on software raid5+dmcrypt 256bit-sha crypt i think. dont recall anymore what was the default crypt | 13:19 |
| Lartza_ | Temporarytao: No, I want easy solution for server and only way I can get internet to it is through my computer or maybe from it to my computer | 13:19 |
| adac | Boohbah, ActionParsnip, simplexio we just have some internal projects saved on home which noone should get access that easily...so I just ask about what is saver to do | 13:19 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | i tried fdisk /dev/sda1/ and it just says unable to open /dev/sda1 | 13:19 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip: netstat without sudo does not list entries under the 'PID/Program name' column. | 13:19 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | my mistake, its hda1, but still same error | 13:19 |
| adac | simplexio, actually we want to use truecrypt which seems fine for just encrypt home partition | 13:19 |
| simplexio | adac: its not that hard, just crypt /home/ and use long password for user and use long password for crypted partition. and long as 20 chars or like | 13:19 |
| sarmisak | adac: have you checked truecrypt? | 13:20 |
| Lartza_ | So could I either get internet to 2 computers that other hooks to the other? | 13:20 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, like an internet sharing server? | 13:20 |
| simplexio | adac: that cool too. not sure how fast it is. dmcrypt has bonus that its in vanilla kernels | 13:20 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | how would i go about setting a drive as bootable? | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: move cursor down with down arrow to the big linux partition, use lete and right arows to select the word bootable and press enter, I'm unsure if you can do this on a booted system like this so you may want to look at using a live cd of some kind | 13:20 |
| sarmisak | simplexio, adac: yes, it might be faster with dmcrypt | 13:20 |
| Lartza_ | temporarytao: Propably, I want to run http server and stuff on the linux one | 13:20 |
| Lartza_ | But should I hook the linux to net and windows or windows to net and linux? | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: select the partition with up and down, left and right cursor to choose the bottom option, enter to select, remember to write your changes to the disk | 13:21 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, it's prolly better for you to make your ubuntu the computer that connects to internet | 13:21 |
| adac | I see! thx for your hel and suggestions guys sarmisak, simplexio and ActionParsnip ! | 13:21 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, its safer and the configuration is a bit easier | 13:21 |
| adac | *help | 13:21 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | actionparsnip, i give up can i rebuild ubuntu without losing my huge music collection and not having seperate partitions | 13:22 |
| Lartza_ | temporarytao: So how is it made? | 13:22 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, but if you still want to proceed with your setup, you only really have to bridge your two ethernet connections from windows | 13:22 |
| darren__ | Any tips on what lang to use to make a program that runs both comline and desktop? | 13:22 |
| coord02 | hjhg | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: you just need to mark the different partition as bootable, thats all it is | 13:23 |
| Lartza_ | Well I can use linux as the gateway | 13:23 |
| orochi | darren__: Practically all of them can do that, you'd have to be more specific | 13:23 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, yeah. how are you connecting to the net by the way? | 13:23 |
| darren__ | orochi, I'm looking to write a torrent mesh program. | 13:24 |
| Lartza_ | Router > AC/DC Ethernet x2 > Windows | 13:24 |
| orochi | darren__: A torrent "mesh?" | 13:24 |
| darren__ | orochi, the program would be installed on lots of machines - and would be used to seed torrent for open source projects - bit like mirroring but for torrents. | 13:24 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, if you have a router already, why do you need to pass through your windows machine to get internet to your linux machine? | 13:25 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | actionparsnip yeah but i dont get how to do it, im on a livecd at the moment using terminal | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: cool, ok so you can see cfdisk with the partitions visible, yes? | 13:25 |
| darren__ | orochi, universities etc would install the program to host torrents automatically | 13:26 |
| ChotaZ | Is there a way to run something that requirest root password on session startup? | 13:26 |
| aar | I'm thinking of using an old 486 box as a linux firewall at home (between the router and three laptops with wireless connections at home). I've never tried something like this before. Does anyone have some pointers to get me going? | 13:26 |
| sarmisak | temporarytao: I agree, for a that small setup it might be a great waste of time | 13:26 |
| Lartza_ | Because I need to :D | 13:26 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | i was using fdisk but ok | 13:26 |
| Lartza_ | Router is in different room | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_3y3dl51w: pm? | 13:26 |
| orochi | darren__: I think I sort of see what you mean, but most of the clients I've used make it pretty easy to seed torrents on your own? | 13:26 |
| darren__ | orochi, each uni would have a dedicated machine running 24/7 to support the "mesh" - if that's even the right way of saying it. | 13:26 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: ok then, you should set it up like this; modem (or ethernet connection) > ubuntu > switch > other pcs | 13:26 |
| temporarytao | sarmisak, he probably just wants to play around | 13:26 |
| mib_3y3dl51w | actionparsnip openned cfdisk, it says fatal error cant open hdd | 13:26 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, you can make an http server by installing lamp and then forwarding the http port to your linux machine from your router | 13:27 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: you should have two ethernets on the ubuntu machine, and one should be connected to your internet connection, other to the switch that you are going to distribute | 13:27 |
| Lartza_ | I don't have a switch | 13:27 |
| Lartza_ | And I can't touch Router or the Adapters | 13:28 |

| sarmisak | Lartza_: ok, how many machines do you have? | 13:28 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: that you are going to serve | 13:28 |
| Webu | Why does "./executable" return just "-bash: ./executable: No such file or directory" even it exists in the directory? I don't quite get this. | 13:28 |

| __8472 | Hi. I have a problem in the samba, with "Group Mapping" and using it from the active directory. my smb.conf contains these relevant lines= (workgroup = DOMAIN-NAME ; realm = DOMAIN.COM ; security = ADS ; winbind enum users/groups = yes ; winbind use default domain = yes ; winbind nested groups = yes ; password server = 192.168.*.*). | 13:29 |
| __8472 | Then, i executed this command: 'groupadd domusers ; net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=domusers type=d' , thus creating a local linux group domusers, and mapping it to our domain\"Domain Users". | 13:29 |
| __8472 | And my share configurations contains the 'valid users' line, and i already tried hell lot of things, like (@domusers , +domusers , and few more), but i still cant access the share. And i can't find why :(. | 13:29 |
| __8472 | Can somebody give me some help? Thanks in advance. | 13:29 |

| orochi | Well that was informative | 13:29 |
| sipior | Webu: what does "ls -l ./executable" return? | 13:29 |
| temporarytao_afk | afk for a bit... | 13:30 |

| sipior | Webu: does it work as a normal user? is it a shell script? | 13:31 |
| Webu | sipior, file says "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped" | 13:31 |
| Lartza_ | So I can only work with one adapter and ubuntu+windows | 13:31 |

| unitedpotsmokers | hey guys, i just want know. i plan to buy a laser color printer. which printer (brand) is good & compatible with linux (especially ubuntu) | 13:32 |
| Webu | sipior, hmm, maybe I should try moving that to an user directory. | 13:32 |
| Lartza_ | So I need to make Adapter > Ubuntu > Windows or vice versa and that both have internet and that linux runs most of servers | 13:32 |
| sarmisak | unitedpotsmokers: try samsung clp-510, have been using it with ubuntu for a long time | 13:32 |
| eternal_ | hi i am trying to mount a windows vista harddrive so i can interchange files between each and it says to do "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force" But that just spits out alot of "info" to use mount | 13:32 |
| __8472 | orochi: sorry, wasn't my intention. i've tried to paste it normally, but the floodbot1 "banned" that, or at least he wrote that. | 13:32 |

| === temporarytao_afk is now known as temporarytao | ||
| Myrtti | __8472: doesn't that tell you something? | 13:33 |
| eternal_ | Myrtii: what you mean? | 13:33 |
| Myrtti | __8472: it tells you "don't paste"! | 13:33 |
| sipior | Webu: was this built on your system? | 13:33 |
| aar | unitedpotsmokers, have a look at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DatabaseIntro | 13:33 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: ok, the thing is ubuntu won't solve your problems with the router, you will have to direct some traffic to it from the router anyway, have you considered buying a simple 8 port switch? | 13:33 |
| Myrtti | eternal_: "/dev/sdb1/media/disk" what's that? | 13:33 |
| unitedpotsmokers | sarmisak, : is that printer is good for home user, and good printing? | 13:33 |
| Webu | sipior, it's not, although the error is "No such file or directory" :-S | 13:34 |
| orochi | darren__: Anyway, as for a language, depending on what your experience level is use Python or Ruby IMO...they're scripting languages but they can do all the things that a bittorrent client would need to do and more | 13:34 |
| zxxd | Hi | 13:34 |
| disappearedng | Hey any1 here got wine to work with starUML? | 13:34 |
| __8472 | Myrtti: well, but i prepared my question elsewhere, so i simply have to use paste. | 13:34 |
| Lartza_ | sarmisak: No | 13:34 |
| Lartza_ | Now in one thing windows is better ;) | 13:34 |
| sarmisak | unitedpotsmokers: we are using it in the office, its refillable so cost per page is rather cheap for us ;) | 13:34 |
| darren__ | orochi, thanks. Want to join my project? | 13:34 |
| Lartza_ | (Internet connection sharing is basic in windows) | 13:34 |
| sipior | Webu: i wonder. is your system 64-bit, by any chance? also, can you run it with strace: "strace ./executable" | 13:34 |
| orochi | __8472: No, what you have to use is pastebin :> Assuming that you want to remain in the channel, the bot will just kick you out the more you try that | 13:34 |
| eternal_ | Myrtti i just followed the path on the error when clicking the hd link in places | 13:34 |

| zxxd | I use gdm | 13:35 |
| Lartza_ | :/ | 13:35 |
| temporarytao | here's what you do... | 13:35 |
| unitedpotsmokers | sarmisak, sound good.. ok i will search that printer is available in my country | 13:35 |
| iceroot | how to get the name of the vga-driver? | 13:35 |
| Myrtti | eternal_: it's hardly "/dev/sdb1/media/disk" though | 13:35 |
| Lartza_ | Well how am I feeling like that now? Since I hear it's not possible with ubuntu and windows | 13:35 |
| temporarytao | if you want windows to be the gateway, select the two ethernet connections found in your network connectinos folder | 13:35 |
| unitedpotsmokers | aar, thanks 4 url | 13:35 |
| temporarytao | right click | 13:35 |
| sarmisak | unitedpotsmokers: if someone recommends xerox, stay away from it, yes samsung makes it, but it's not always compatible ;) | 13:35 |
| temporarytao | then select bridge connections | 13:35 |

| temporarytao | Lartza_, you'll prolly have a bit of trouble with the ip addressing (static/dhcp) but i can't remember anymore | 13:36 |
| darren__ | orochi, cheers | 13:36 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, if you want to make ubuntu as your gateway, install firestarter | 13:36 |
| Lartza_ | So it is really possible? | 13:36 |

| sipior | Webu: also, check library resolution with "ldd ./executable". i'm guessing there will be quite a few missing. | 13:37 |
| temporarytao | a lot of people are going to hit me for that "firestarter" thing but it's the quickest and most gui friendly way to do it | 13:37 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, yes | 13:37 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: yes it is possible, and it's rather simple | 13:37 |
| unitedpotsmokers | sarmisak, i found your printer at : http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-CLP-510 | 13:37 |

| orochi | Are there any active ops in the channel? | 13:37 |
| Coin | Could anyone help-me with themes on Ubuntu 8.10? | 13:38 |
| Lartza_ | And if I install firestarter to ubuntu, I don't need software firewall to the computer that is connected to the ubuntu box? | 13:38 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: I distribute internet to almost 20 pcs here with a 15$ adsl modem | 13:38 |
| Lartza_ | My modem is free :) | 13:38 |
| Webu | sipior, strace returns quite a few lines of stuff, but if I'm not wrong, it looks like it's complaining about the same "No such file or directory". | 13:38 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, whuh??? | 13:38 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: you got the point I believe :D | 13:38 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, in any case, this is the link you want: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 13:38 |
| Lartza_ | Well my last modem was free, came from the ISP | 13:38 |
| psychomantis | ^$ | 13:39 |
| Lartza_ | And this is form wippies project | 13:39 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, ah, i thot free = available. you meant free = no charge. :D | 13:39 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: you might want to keep the personal firewall for your windows pc, it usually prevents not just network attacks but internal virus actions also | 13:39 |
| Coin | i give up :( | 13:39 |
| Webu | sipior, simple "not a dynamic executable" from ldd, hmm.. | 13:39 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, i second sarmisak | 13:39 |
| Lartza_ | But I have firewall + antivirus + antispyware now as software... | 13:39 |
| Lartza_ | Since windows is windows... | 13:40 |
| derphilipp | 9.04 creates tons of "File Manager" processes on logging in (via gui). Hardware Spec: VMware Fusion | 13:40 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: just keep it on the windows machine, no need -at least for now- on your ubuntu pc | 13:40 |
| scunizi | Coin what's up | 13:40 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, you want ubuntu to do the connection filtering for you? to act as a hardware firewall? | 13:40 |
| sarmisak | scunizi: he got mad & left :) | 13:40 |
| sipior | Webu: yeah, you'll need to build this using the libraries on your machine, or install the libraries it wants (look for the 32-bit compatibility libraries) | 13:40 |
| lanoxx | derphilipp, go to #ubuntu+1 | 13:40 |
| Lartza_ | WEll not necessarily, just came to my mind now I wouldn't need to run the software for windows | 13:40 |
| scunizi | sarmisak: wow.. | 13:41 |
| Lartza_ | But I keep it simple for now | 13:41 |
| Lartza_ | Just intall ubuntu and try to get the nternet for windows from it | 13:41 |
| QaDeS | how do i get qsynth and qtractor work stable on my ubuntu intrepid box? | 13:41 |
| unitedpotsmokers | sarmisak, if it said driver donwload : Driver packages: x86 32 bit: 1.1.1 (RPM for LSB 3.2), 1.1.1 (DEB for LSB 3.2), 1.0.1 (RPM for LSB 3.1), 1.0.1 (DEB for LSB 3.1), so i must download them all, or choose another one? | 13:41 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, well, you can learn to do ip filtering later on | 13:41 |
| temporarytao | Lartza_, however, it's not really THAT fool-proof | 13:41 |
| sarmisak | unitedpotsmokers: you might want to download it from samsung's own website ;) they provide the drivers | 13:42 |
| temporarytao | you still need some security at the windows end. | 13:42 |
| Boohbah | QaDeS: well you need jackd, among other things, probably also want qjackctl | 13:42 |
| scunizi | unitedpotsmokers: this for a samsung printer? | 13:42 |
| bullgard4 | Why does 'sudo netstat -tulpen' (http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394711) print in the first line for port 2628=Dictionary Server as program name=0, and is not more specific as in the rest lines? 'ps 5380' prints yet 'dictd 1.10.10: 0/0'. | 13:42 |
| Lartza_ | Well nwo I jsut install ubunut(graphical desktop -.-) luckily my "server" is good | 13:42 |
| sarmisak | Lartza_: temporarytao is right, windows is something else with networking ;) | 13:42 |
| nikitis | anyone? | 13:42 |
| temporarytao | sarmisak, you got that right | 13:42 |
| sarmisak | nikitis: ? | 13:43 |
| unitedpotsmokers | scunizi, yes | 13:43 |
| scunizi | unitedpotsmokers: if it's for a printer the drivers samsung has on their site work fine.. I've got a clp-600n working like a champ | 13:43 |
| unitedpotsmokers | sarmisak, : good.. they provide driver for linux.. | 13:43 |
| darren__ | is there a social network for open source programmers? | 13:43 |
| Webu | sipior, hmm I see it might be that. Shouldn't Ubuntu understand that the executable is located at /root/executable when trying ./executable? | 13:44 |
| Boohbah | QaDeS: see full requirements at http://qtractor.sourceforge.net/qtractor-index.html | 13:44 |
| Lartza_ | Now to merge 2 useless computers to one server :D | 13:44 |
| sarmisak | unitedpotsmokers: yes, samsung is very collaborative about linux ;) | 13:44 |
| sarmisak | darren__: sourceforge? | 13:44 |
| nikitis | sarmisak, I'm trying to get my phone to connect via bluetooth to bitpim. i'm having trouble with setting up my bluetooth serial port (rfcomm0). Can anyone tell me why I cannot create this? | 13:44 |
| nikitis | sarmisak, in jaunty | 13:44 |
| sipior | Webu: the problem isn't that it doesn't see the file. the problem is that the system can find no executable code *in* the file. | 13:45 |
| Lartza_ | So is gnome easy to replace? I don't remember | 13:45 |
| Lartza_ | WEll I might not have to, It's propably fine on my server | 13:45 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hmm.. i see samsung very popular at your place.. here, the most popular printer is HP... the goverment use it too | 13:45 |
| eternal_ | Myrtii: i fixed it :) sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 i had to define it all | 13:45 |
| BlastuR | hello. i suspect that my hard drive is broken, because during install of jaunty (dev branch, netboot), i get errors that packages are corrupt .. anyone know of a tool that is easy to boot (preferably over network) which will diagnose my hdd? | 13:45 |
| darren__ | sarmisak, I was thinking more of a FB equivilant - I'll try and work out sourceforge and hook up with people there. | 13:45 |
| hakim | Hi | 13:45 |
| sarmisak | nikitis: hmm, that's a tough one, sorry, don't know anything about bluetooth stuff | 13:46 |

| sarmisak | scunizi: ahhaahaa it's really helpful for beginners ;) | 13:46 |
| nikitis | sarmisak, im supposed to be able to take the device and click create serial, but its not doing so | 13:46 |
| Lartza_ | So graphical server it is :) | 13:46 |

| Webu | sipior, oh yeah, got it now :-) Thank you for pointing me out! | 13:47 |
| Lartza_ | Is there some way to get simple info about comp that has no OS fast? | 13:47 |

| sebsebseb | frankS2: no | 14:08 |
| scunizi | MyTh88: they should be 64 bit versions.. | 14:08 |
| ashvala | Anyway to reinstall ubuntu without losing data? | 14:08 |
| MyTh88 | scunizi can i find info about it on kernel-page? | 14:08 |

| kn100 | frankS2 newest is intrepid is latest stable, but im on 9.04 and its GREAT | 14:08 |
| scunizi | frankS2: you don't want to right now.. wait until the official release on Jaunty | 14:08 |
| sebsebseb | kn100: great heh, maybe with a clean install and Ext4, but otherwise probably not | 14:08 |
| gentubuntu | sarmisak, http://paste.debian.net/32715 | 14:08 |
| scunizi | MyTh88: I have no idea.. I've never run 64 bit and played in that sandbox | 14:09 |
| kn100 | sebsebseb nope upgrade ext3 | 14:09 |
| frankS2 | scunizi: Ok, when is it going to be rlsed? | 14:09 |
| ashvala | New Question... | 14:09 |
| MyTh88 | scunizi: ok | 14:09 |
| scunizi | frankS2: this month | 14:09 |
| meow-chan | ashvala, if your willing to wait one of of the people here might be albe to help you better then me(i took the lazy way out) | 14:09 |
| ashvala | Any possible way to reinstall ubuntu without losing data | 14:09 |
| sipior | ashvala: if you've left your home directories on a separate partition, you can install ubuntu, ensuring that this partition is left untouched. | 14:09 |
| sebsebseb | kn100: yeah as did I 8.10 to alpha6, to beta, and I still got some issues. ,but I will put a nice clean install on with Ext4, around the same time the final comes out | 14:09 |
| MyTh88 | another question: how big will be the upgrade from 9.04 beta to final? | 14:09 |
| frankS2 | scunizi: nice | 14:09 |
| meow-chan | ashvala, you can try the option to recover a damaged system from the cd | 14:09 |
| ashvala | sipior: Yes, My home partition is diff from the rest | 14:09 |
| blue112 | fosco_: My camera is "working", but it seems like it can't decode it (it's 'encoded') | 14:09 |
| ashvala | meow-chan: Howw? | 14:10 |
| sebsebseb | MyTh88: it will upgrade like all packages in 8.10 as well as add some | 14:10 |
| sipior | ashvala: well, there you go | 14:10 |
| pahom | blue112: try sudo apt-get install cheese and run then | 14:10 |
| sebsebseb | MyTh88: really 9.04 should be a clean install, because of Ext4 | 14:10 |

| gunny_17 | good morning all. I also have a question about wireless. I usually start the wireles connection on the gnome desktop after logging in and it shows up on nm-applet. However I would like to know if I can use the cli to log into wlan0 when I log-into another desktop directly, like wm or blackbox. Now I am having to log-in to the gnome desktop and then log-out again to stay connected to wlan0. I have tried nm-tool and NetworkManag | 14:10 |
| gunny_17 | er. | 14:10 |
| kn100 | MyTh88: its like 1gb to upgrade from clean unupdated 8.10 to 9.04 | 14:10 |

| ashvala | sipior: How do I not touch my home partition and do the reinstall? | 14:11 |
| scunizi | ashvala: go throughh the regular install process.. on the partitioning section choose manual and name the partition for what they are. Make sure you DON't tell it to format your current /home | 14:11 |

| ohletmeinnowjesu | hey guys i have a quick question: i am on a laptop and utilize the "suspend" option quite alot, i was wondering is changing the "swappiness" value in the sysctl file would affect my suspend/resume activity? | 14:21 |
| him89 | alexander_, you need to use dpkg-tools to get it done there are lots of tutorials flooting around the net | 14:21 |
| scunizi | ashvala: what you want to do is tag them for what they are.. so find your old / and with the manual partitioner make sure you tag it as / .. then do the same for /swap .. /home and the other partitions you have.. if you're using the graphical install you should be presented with the next screen showing if the partitions will be formatted or not.. make sure /home is not formatted. | 14:21 |
| alexander_ | I know | 14:21 |
| him89 | ohletmeinnowjesu, no it would not | 14:21 |

| scunizi | ashvala: do the same for the other partitions | 14:22 |
| panaggio | after updating to jaunty beta and installing ati opensource drivers, my X broke, and I can't get it back | 14:23 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | him89: i guess i have to reset it back to 100 just to make sure it isnt something else, but I havent changed anything since i changed the swappiness value | 14:23 |
| Pici | panaggio: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. | 14:23 |

| GodfatherofEir1 | him89, WEP | 14:23 |
| him89 | GodfatherofEir1, that is direct cracking | 14:24 |

| Lartza_ | well maybe, but propably not... for both :D | 14:27 |
| blue112 | How can I make my webcam works fine with Flash ? | 14:27 |
| scunizi | Lartza_: I just donated a 4 giger to recycling | 14:27 |
| radovic | ftp, swap, some server or something | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: it won't | 14:27 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: Why ? | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: Flash and web cam who does that anyway? | 14:27 |
| Lartza_ | I just think 20GB is enough for everything | 14:27 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Bloody websense filter | 14:27 |
| blue112 | I do have an image, but really bad. | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: Flash is bad | 14:27 |
| Lartza_ | As advanced multi-server, but with not much hd need | 14:27 |
| doleyb | Lartza_: your 20gb drive may spontaneously fail someday, you can have important files backed up on smaller | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: Flash should be avoided when possible | 14:28 |
| scunizi | Lartza_: as long as you're not dealing with music, video, pics | 14:28 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: Flash isn't that bad. | 14:28 |
| Lartza_ | doleyb: That's good! | 14:28 |
| blue112 | Why it is bad ? | 14:28 |
| julian__ | do i have to remove my php installation if i want to add new packages? | 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: closed source, locsk people into Adobe. | 14:28 |
| radovic | @Lartza_ you can use it as backup! :) | 14:28 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: Only for the player... | 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: closed source, locks people into Ubuntu, used for video on websites, when other stuff could be used :) | 14:28 |
| kn100 | i think i speak for all of us when i say this. Open source FTW | 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: uh into Adobe above not Ubuntu heh | 14:28 |

| Lartza_ | How about, what is the biggest swap that is not ridiculous and has some improvement on performance etc. if physical ram is 128 + 128 = 256 + 65? = 284? | 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: Flash has had some pretty bad security issues in the past to | 14:29 |
| smurf_ | What are good disk-encryption tools, other than Truecrypt? | 14:29 |
| Lartza_ | *64 | 14:29 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: Yes, but only for the player. | 14:29 |
| kn100 | i never see the point in swap | 14:29 |
| marco__ | hola | 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: and the Flash making software is for Window and Mac, not Desktop Linux | 14:29 |
| julian__ | !FOSS | 14:29 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 14:29 |
| kn100 | i do have it, but with 2gb of ram, what is it used for | 14:29 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: Flash IDE is bad | 14:29 |
| blue112 | The fact is that I want my webcam to work with Flash. But how can I do ? | 14:30 |
| zilleplus_ | <htmldsfjkhhjlefkkljfdskljqsdkljsqdkljsdqlkjsdq | 14:30 |

| sebsebseb | blue112: what's this about using Flash for a web cam??? | 14:30 |
| Lartza_ | yea but with 2gb what should it be? | 14:30 |
| Lartza_ | adn think BIG | 14:30 |
| smurf_ | I want to use it without modifying the kernel. | 14:30 |
| Lartza_ | the most i can get use of | 14:30 |

| sebsebseb | blue112: so you can have a web cam Flash on a website, and people can view it? | 14:30 |

| Yanick_ | hi. how "stable" is Ubuntu with a Dell Studio 16? I'm asking because I did try Ubuntu 7/8.x on my Dell Inspiron 5150 and it sometimes hanged (video, or sound, or wi-fi problem) and I wondered if any issue was reported for a Studio 16? | 14:31 |
| him89 | Yanick_, you can never say until you try | 14:31 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: That may be an idea, but right now I just want to make some tests with webcam on flash, and it doesn't work as well. | 14:31 |
| him89 | or use google | 14:31 |
| him89 | 14:31 | |
| ubottu | google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux | 14:31 |
| Lartza_ | So a 284Mb server with hard server use could 2GB swap be it? | 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: I am sure there must be better ways, for people to see your web cam online, than Flash | 14:31 |
| Yanick_ | him89: of course, but I was wondering of someone already tried | 14:31 |
| scunizi | Yanick_: you might get better references on www.ubuntuforums.org | 14:31 |
| Lartza_ | bigger or smaller? | 14:31 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: I don't know other ways. | 14:31 |
| him89 | !google | Yanick_ | 14:31 |
| ubottu | Yanick_: please see above | 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: since Flash is closed source and all, and so Ubuntu developers can't work on it etc | 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: and your issue isn't to do with Ubuntu by the sounds of it | 14:32 |
| Yanick_ | I see you guys are real helpers | 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: try #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:32 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: I know that, but it works pretty well. Except for the webcam, that's what I want to fix it. | 14:32 |
| Lartza_ | But WAIT :S Now I see a problem on the gateway thing | 14:32 |
| blue112 | Why sebsebseb ? | 14:32 |
| kn100 | http://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/ | 14:32 |
| Lartza_ | Is it possible with a bridging router | 14:32 |
| Lartza_ | THat doesn't assign 191 addresses(for example) but 91 | 14:33 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: The issue is totaly with ubuntu, it's a problem with making my webcam work with flash on Ubuntu. | 14:33 |
| scunizi | Yanick_: you've got 1300+ peoplein here. and 10's of thousands of users on ubuntuforums.. just because we can't answer your question right now doesn't mean we're sniping you | 14:33 |

| iKK_ | hi | 14:34 |
| nameless` | how can i conclude a letter ? | 14:34 |
| nameless` | like best regards | 14:34 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: heh well stick around, and you will find other people will tell you Flash is bad etc as well, and hopefully tell you something else you can use for web cam | 14:34 |
| Yanick_ | kn100: sure, it's the time I don't have (to "try") | 14:34 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | him89, cant get the drivers from the main site | 14:34 |
| kn100 | nameless`: What type of letter is it? | 14:35 |
| blue112 | sebsebseb: I already know that, I just want to know how make it work -_- | 14:35 |
| sebsebseb | blue112: your issue is probably more a Linux issue if anything | 14:35 |

| ohletmeinnowjesu | can some1 help me? | 15:33 |
| etfb | ohletmeinnowjesu: I share your pain, only in my case it's an ATI driver. Ubuntu sucks when it comes to driver support. Sadly, the rest of Linux sucks even more. | 15:33 |

| ohletmeinnowjesu | etfb: problem is the nvidia drivers arent open source, ie ppl cant work on them to fix them... | 15:34 |

| iQxer0 | i cant move the window to the other desktop.. but the mouse cursor can move.. | 15:39 |
| erUSUL | TotalEklipse: there are no restriction on the size of the home folder by default. Your home folder can grow till fill up the partition | 15:39 |
| iQxer0 | and it shows two mouse cursors in two desktops :S | 15:39 |

| TotalEklipse | well, its happened before in another install of ubuntu. Currently i was downloading videos to the home folder when I was told that there was no moe disk space by the miro application | 15:42 |
| ne2k__ | sebsebseb: perhaps I could run an emulator like qemu inside a VM, though | 15:43 |
| iQxer0 | zul, , what do u mean by clicking it ? | 15:43 |
| ne2k__ | they're different things, innit | 15:43 |
| sebsebseb | ne2k__: probably not | 15:43 |

| iQxer0 | i mean zuozhen_shao | 15:43 |
| sarmisak | TotalEklipse: in which directory are you trying to write? | 15:43 |
| sebsebseb | graingert: qemu works in a vm? | 15:43 |
| TotalEklipse | /home/Video | 15:43 |

| iQxer0 | thats my graphics card. | 15:43 |
| sarmisak | TotalEklipse: linux filesystem does not work as windows does, so you cannot write to any directory as you wish | 15:43 |

| Duddle | hello! is there a different way to suppress errors from commands than the 2>/dev/null thing? | 15:48 |
| graingert | iQxer0-> you want mergedFB | 15:48 |
| graingert | iQxer0-> restore your xsettings to default please | 15:48 |
| usr13 | Botux: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:48 |
| Slart | Duddle: if the errors are already out there, that's it I think | 15:49 |
| iQxer0 | graingert, how to do that ? | 15:49 |
| arthurL_ | 'update-manager -d' gives you the option to upgrade | 15:49 |
| TotalEklipse | I don't get it though, when I use the disk usage analyser it shows the total filesystem capacity as 100GB with 45.6% used! | 15:49 |

| acegikmo1 | doble, can't ping google from the server I'm sshed into | 16:44 |
| usr13 | PerryArmstrong: dpkg-reconfigure xorg or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg something like that.. | 16:44 |
| darren | ok - so I'm using uShare to serve files to my xbox. I'd like to be able to be able to open a terminal, and just type in "xbox" to have it perform the uShare reload command. | 16:45 |

| Doble | acegikmo1: then i would suggest the problem is somewhere between your server and your DNS servers :) maybe check firewall rules, routing, proxy etc? | 16:47 |
| usr13 | PerryArmstrong: xorg -configure | 16:47 |

| Goldfisch | \shaman: You don't need to do that much. Open a terminal, then type "sudo modprobe intel-agp". If the module loads with no issues, you can restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace. | 16:50 |
| acegikmo1 | doble, that's the odd thing, my laptop had some poblems this morning but is now fine, I can't work out what has changed | 16:50 |

| darkside_simmons | ron2010: are you using virtual box because they took out usb support | 17:15 |
| Pici | may0: Please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, as this isn't directly related to support. | 17:15 |

| Pici | !bitchx | Ubersoldat | 17:16 |

| darkside_simmons | ron2010: yea i believe its because you have a usb mouse virtual box removed usb support | 17:17 |

| ron2010 | not getting much resposne from #vbox so i'll ask here | 17:42 |
| mheath_ | rampage73: You won't be able to do that with Bash; you need a text parsing language like Sed or Perl that has what are called "regular expressions" for text | 17:42 |

| thiebaude | krychek, did you open update manager in a terminal? | 17:44 |
| mheath_ | rampage73: What you're asking to do is actually rather complicated, using a pure Sed expression.....Way beyond my experience. The only way I would know how to do it is programatically, using a more sophisticated programming language (perl would work well, but anything from C to java would work too) | 17:44 |

| allquixotic | ron2010: vbox mouse with Windows Server 2008 guest works for me, so I can't reproduce your problem. Then again my mouse is using PS/2. I would think any valid X core pointer would be picked up by vbox, though... | 17:46 |
| usr13 | gamla_kossan: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:46 |
| allquixotic | ron2010: Make sure VBox isn't taking control over your USB dongle though | 17:46 |
| Shhhh | when you are booting ubuntu it should give you a count down | 17:46 |
| rampage73 | mheath_, i thought sed would do it but i do not "know that it will" | 17:46 |
| Shhhh | hit <esc> while its doing that | 17:46 |
| gamla_kossan | usr13: my bad, this v 8.10, so these settings aren't stored in xorg.conf | 17:46 |
| rampage73 | sipior, matching on a # that varies in the beginning of the line and the last 50 characters are being replaced with all 0's | 17:47 |
| usr13 | gamla_kossan: Actually the easiest way is just: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:47 |
| Shhhh | then boot recovery console | 17:47 |
| mheath_ | sebsebseb: yes, for the most part. THere are a few quirks that make that hard to deal with... | 17:47 |
| amgarching | gamla_kossan: "man xrandr", or try "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output LVDS --auto" (not testted) | 17:47 |
| rampage73 | sipior, and i have the pattern file that i used with grep to find all of these for the #'s at the front of each line | 17:47 |
| gamla_kossan | amgarching: thanks | 17:47 |
| sipior | rampage73: something like "sed -e 's/^\(1234567890\).*/\1000000000/' | 17:47 |
| gamla_kossan | amgarching: trying that right away | 17:47 |
| usr13 | gamla_kossan: Try: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:47 |
| sebsebseb | mheath_: so you have done it, any suggestions? I think it is just put it on as if it was an internal and then what I said already | 17:48 |
| rampage73 | sipior, thanks i will work with it | 17:48 |
| sebsebseb | mheath_: what are the quirks? how to solve them? | 17:48 |
| Shhhh | i utterly am sick of windows | 17:49 |
| sipior | rampage73: the info pages for sed provide literally hours of amusement. depending on how you define amusement. lots of examples, and a good place for you to start "info sed" | 17:49 |
| Shhhh | but forced to deal with it :( | 17:49 |
| mheath_ | sebsebseb: well, yes, that should work, but there are some annoyances with that process. First, Ubuntu doesn't automatically mount other physical hard drives if you didn't add them during instal,so you'll have to manually mount the drives on the machine itself to get access to them from Ubuntu... | 17:49 |
| rampage73 | sipior, thanks been there and will go back or learn perl | 17:49 |
| usr13 | gamla_kossan: Did you try: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 17:50 |
| hbullen | Hey has anyone tried using a version broardband 3G card with ubuntu? | 17:50 |
| === hbullen is now known as lotu | ||
| mheath_ | sebsebseb: and Ubuntu's video stuff is going to be optomized for the graphics card and display of the machine you install it on. While its pretty forgiving and should fallback on something supported, you might eventually encounter a machine where those viodeo settings don't allow x.org to start. | 17:50 |
| krychek | why cant i upgrade from gutsy to hardy? damn | 17:50 |
| gamla_kossan | usr13: yeah, trying it now | 17:50 |
| mheath_ | sebsebseb: theres no very good workaround for that, unfortunately. The one thing would be to customize the x.org config file to be very simple and generic, but that severely limits things like the available resolution and prohibits you from doing any 3d stuff. | 17:51 |
| Aethelred | ron2010: I was having a similar problem in VirtualBox running WinXP. I solved it with Guest Additions. I don't recall the exact details, but it still doesn't "capture" my mouse (like vmware would). | 17:51 |
| sebsebseb | mheath_: yeah I know about that | 17:51 |
| usr13 | krychek: Why not? | 17:51 |
| sebsebseb | mheath_: ,but this particular guy may not even need the propritary driver anyway | 17:51 |
| gamla_kossan | usr13: sweet, it worked :) (didn't think it would - I thought ubuntu handled reoslutions elsewhere since 8.10?) | 17:52 |
| usr13 | krychek: Need instructions?: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-to-ubuntu-804-lts-hardy-heron-beta.html | 17:52 |
| mheath_ | sebsebseb: well, yeah, but even if you don't need the ATI or Nvidia propreitary driver's, its still cutomized. | 17:52 |
| usr13 | gamla_kossan: It does IF there is not xorg.conf file. | 17:52 |
| Shhhh | Sooo | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | mheath_: xorg you mean? | 17:52 |
| krychek | usr13: the upgrade button is missing | 17:52 |
| mheath_ | sebsebseb: your video card, if its new, has a specific driver even if the driver is open source or free. X.org will be set to use this driver. | 17:53 |
| mheath_ | sebsebseb: it will also autodetect your monitor settings, and configure the resolutions supported by the monitor you're using during the install. | 17:53 |
| krychek | usr13: these instructions are for hardy beta | 17:53 |
| onthefence928 | does ubuntu automatically keep a log of all the text you see when you boot the system? | 17:53 |

| sebsebseb | mheath_: as for detecting drives??? | 17:54 |

| usr13 | krychek: Does it say anthying about 8.04 ? | 17:54 |
| usr13 | or...? | 17:54 |

| mheath_ | sebsebseb: THe way that ubuntu keeps track of what drives to mount is in a simple text file. While auto generated at install, this just has a list of the device ("/dev/sda1") and where to mount ("/media/harddrive"). If it isn't in the list, it won't be mounted. | 18:00 |
| proudfoot | is there a way to permanently change mac address in ubuntu? | 18:01 |

| proudfoot | i think intrepid network manager does not like it when you change /etc/network/interface | 18:05 |
| onthefence928 | ActionParsnip: before i hunt it down on google what exactly is apic? i thought it just displayed messages from teh cpu? | 18:06 |
| onthefence928 | the* | 18:06 |
| g4lt-lappy | Prounot on interfaces you haven't told it to ignore, no | 18:06 |
| usr13 | proudfoot: Just use /etc/rc.local and do: ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig eth0 hw ether 01:02:03:04:05 ; ifconfig eth0 up ; dhclient eth0 etc... | 18:06 |
| Burntresistor | if everything is dependant on different programs are those programs updated automatically with a linux update or manually and linux only updates what deals with the os automatically? | 18:06 |
| proudfoot | thanks | 18:06 |
| usr13 | proudfoot: Most be something wrong if the interfaces file is empty. | 18:07 |
| proudfoot | it works fine | 18:07 |

| seb_ | i have no more sound on my ubuntu laptop..do you know any simple way to check whether it's a hardware problem ? | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | seb_: not exactly ,but the bot | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | !sound | 18:09 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 18:09 |

| === tien is now known as jove | ||
| sebsebseb | !grub | thejames2003 | 18:12 |
| ubottu | thejames2003: 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 | 18:12 |
| thejames2003 | i did see that | 18:12 |
| kravlin_ | come to think of it, i've never seen the ubuntu channel quiet. | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin_: do NOT sudo gedit | 18:12 |
| danny1 | !iscsi | 18:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about iscsi | 18:12 |
| aaldama | how can i config remote access for windows and mac om my xubuntu | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin_: use gksudo gedit | 18:12 |
| sebsebseb | kravlin_: I have seen this channel rarther quite | 18:12 |
| danny1 | worth a try heh | 18:12 |
| kravlin_ | ActionParsnip: why not? | 18:12 |
| thejames2003 | i can fairly clearly explain my situation | 18:12 |
| Pici | danny1: You may want to try asking in #ubuntu-server as well, they might have more experience with iscsi to help you out. | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin_: sudo gedit is not right and will damage file ownerships and file access | 18:13 |
| jove | hello all: does anyone know what best application of Ubuntu to draw a Network/Server ? | 18:13 |
| kravlin_ | ActionParsnip: that's fine, but i've still lost the ability to vpnc using sudo. | 18:13 |
| danny1 | Pici > thanks ill try that | 18:13 |
| sebsebseb | !best | 18:13 |
| 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. | 18:13 |
| Pici | jove: I don't know about best, but you could try using dia | 18:13 |
| thejames2003 | i've done what it says here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kravlin_: sudo does not configure the environment for gui apps like gedit, sudo is for commands that stay in the terminal like cp, mv, apt-get etc | 18:13 |

| jove | Hi, I setup the sound notification for this ubuntu channel chat, but I don't get any sound notification to me at all, does anyone has this experience ? | 18:16 |
| Aethelred | ChotaZ: My experience has been that if you're going to dual-boot Windows with anything else, the best way is to install Windows FIRST. | 18:16 |
| faria | i didnt try that | 18:16 |
| zch | icanhascheezburg: last time i checked it sucked bigtime but it's been a while | 18:16 |
| icanhascheezburg | anyone here using the new ati drivers do they still suck? | 18:16 |
| sebsebseb | icanhascheezburg: ATI have rather good Linux suppourt now, since open drivers | 18:16 |
| icanhascheezburg | do you use them personally for 3D games/? | 18:16 |
| ChotaZ | Aethelred: Is there a way to do it with ubuntu first, I need XP on this asap. | 18:16 |

| zch | i heard about ati open sourcing their drivers | 18:17 |

| zch | but didn't tested, last time i messed with kubuntu and ati it was a major pita | 18:17 |
| thejames2003 | man this mac irc client sucks | 18:17 |
| Aethelred | ChotaZ: I won't say it isn't possible, but I don't know how. If you need XP that quickly, I'd install a VM. I've had good luck with both VMware and VirtualBox. | 18:17 |
| sebsebseb | thejames2003: pastebin your grub menu.list or no one will help you | 18:17 |
| icanhascheezburg | anyone here use the newest arti drivers? are they still horrible for 3D games | 18:17 |
| thejames2003 | ok hold on thanks. sebsebseb | 18:18 |
| Aethelred | ChotaZ: WinXP runs very well, I run Windows Apps natively. I can do it all in a window in Linux. For me, it's even better than a dual boot. I don't have to reboot to use Windows. | 18:18 |
| sebsebseb | just confiring here, I assume two Ubuntu installs can share the same home folder, no problem? | 18:19 |
| sebsebseb | confirming above | 18:19 |
| ChotaZ | AethelRed: I'm soo going to do that, something I never thought off. | 18:19 |
| ChotaZ | about* | 18:19 |
| icanhascheezburg | surely there is someone here who runs ubuntu using the latest ati drivers | 18:19 |
| ChotaZ | AethelRed: I'll get VirtualBox | 18:19 |
| Aethelred | ChoatZ: the exception is with Games and anything else that wants directX | 18:19 |
| Aethelred | ChoatZ: but I run Adobe's creative suite with no issues. | 18:19 |

| allquixotic | Hey, is there any way I can run *every* interactive shell command inside an instance of screen and immediately attach to it, without using any added syntax? I have flaky wifi that keeps dropping me and I need to run commands over ssh that won't just die if I get knocked off. | 18:40 |
| Acer_Extensa | same thing, shock. If I use firefox smb:// to try to view the files, it still only shows the first 500, too. | 18:40 |
| zch | if i for example first resolve then ssh to ip it works normally | 18:40 |

| Guest7154 | g4lt-lappy: How do I "ssh in"? I'm not at all experienced with networks. | 18:41 |
| Tokenekie | zloog: The files are listed alphabetically so I have a loop comparing each file to see if it is less than or equal to itself in ascii | 18:41 |
| Tokenekie | zloog: But what I have found so far is that comparing strings like [[ "$file1" <= "$file2 ]] will not work since <= is not an operator in double brackets? | 18:41 |
| Tokenekie | + " | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | krychek: then you have the latest apps on the set of repos ni /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:41 |

| mib_tpyh5kjh | i need help, i updated to the latest kernel and now my wifi dont work | 19:01 |

| ActionParsnip | botux1: cool, run: sudo apt-get update before installing whatever it says | 19:08 |

| botux1 | ActionParsnip: whichsection do i add the line to | 19:09 |
| pjackson | How do I find out which package provided a file? | 19:09 |
| botux1 | Actionparsnip there are a few sections to add to | 19:09 |
| deany | i went thru all the Ctrl alt F1-F7, nothing, so its wasnt using an extra tty, and all the programs i had loaded arent loaded (looked in system monitor). very odd. | 19:09 |
| usr13 | krychek: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | botux1: add the repo address to the bottom of the file, save and exit it | 19:09 |
| botux1 | ok cool | 19:09 |
| botux1 | thought so but wasnt sure | 19:09 |
| krychek | usr13: no luck.. still no upgrade button | 19:11 |

| usr13 | RedMushroom: proftpd is an ftp server | 19:15 |
| RedMushroom | ubuntu | 19:15 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Are any of MP3, WMA, non-protected AAC, WAV and Audible 2,3 and 4 free file formats that intrepid will support without adding anything | 19:15 |
| RedMushroom | usr13: yeah, i'm looking for one that has a gui | 19:15 |
| usr13 | RedMushroom: No | 19:15 |
| Mike_lifeguard | (ie, I know you can add mp3 support if you want... but what if I don't want?) | 19:15 |
| RedMushroom | so none of them have a gui? | 19:15 |

| mar2 | hi all. I need to repair a file system manually...can someone please help | 19:16 |
| PhotoJim | is there a known bug with Intrepid about USB? there is a kernel warning about ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd driver loading order, but the stock kernel loads the 1.1 driver before 2.0. that seems to force the 2.0 controller to run at 1.1 speeds. the 1.1 is integrated on my server so removing it is not really an option, nor desirable. | 19:16 |
| RedMushroom | just make it easier to use. | 19:16 |
| mgolisch | karsten_: maybe check dmesg or run sudo fdisk -l and compare sizes | 19:16 |
| karsten_ | ok thanks, i try it | 19:16 |
| usr13 | RedMushroom: From the client you mean? | 19:16 |
| RedMushroom | no, for the ftp server admin | 19:17 |
| usr13 | RedMushroom: To use??? Or do you mean to configure? | 19:17 |
| RedMushroom | basically, think rapache for an ftp server | 19:17 |
| deany | RedMushroom, proftpd has a gui. | 19:17 |
| usr13 | RedMushroom: ? rapache ? | 19:17 |

| usr13 | deany: deany RedMushroom Well, proftp does not HAVE a gui. There is a GUI application that someone has created to use on proftpd | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | botux1: it's kind of pointless bothering to put kde4.2 into 8.10 now, with 9.04 just round the corner with kde4.2 in the repo by default | 19:21 |
| RedMushroom | usr13: yeah, i'm wanting to install that i guess | 19:21 |
| deany | he asked for a gui, i gave him one. | 19:21 |
| botux1 | when i go to add/remove it gives me an error whe i tryu to install kde | 19:21 |
| antii | anyone knows? | 19:21 |
| deany | the origin of it is not my concern :) | 19:21 |
| usr13 | deany: RedMushroom I suppose all it does is start and stop proftpd right? | 19:21 |
| botux1 | actionparsnip told me to install kde 4.2 | 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | botux1: why? | 19:21 |
| deany | ive never actually used it ).. its easy enough without | 19:22 |
| usr13 | deany: RedMushroom Because, that's all there would be to do is start or stop it. Right? | 19:22 |

| sebsebseb | jess3: well sort out xorg in recovery mode again,and you will then have the option to put the driver back on | 19:59 |
| barf | But usually I just attach the HFS+ disks to a Mac and mount them over the LAN | 19:59 |
| barf | or WAN if need be | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | barf: hfsa and hfs+ are read-write drivers in linux | 19:59 |
| jess3 | sweet thx | 19:59 |
| barf | erUSUL: but stable? | 19:59 |
| Lartza_ | THank you all for helping me set it up | 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | jess3: yeah so good luck, and you need to re boot and go into that mode | 19:59 |
| barf | and for production use? | 19:59 |

| mar2 | tonyyarusso: this was amongst what was pasted: /dev/sda2 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime). Is this refering to my linux home partition and is it unmounted? | 20:00 |
| barf | I can make 1 .-p | 20:00 |
| barf | I can make a LiveTigerDVD... | 20:00 |
| tonyyarusso | mar2: correct | 20:00 |
| erUSUL | barf: dunno but this 20:57 < barf> I only know that HFS+ is readonly from linux, unless somebody made a discovery | 20:00 |
| erUSUL | barf: is not true as you worded it | 20:00 |
| barf | It has write, but last time I checked it was strongly recommended not to do so. | 20:01 |

| mar2 | tonyyarusso: by the way i am running xp as my primary os as i'm not quite confident enough in linux yet :) | 20:02 |
| tonyyarusso | mar2: unmount it first, then run fsck on it. Since it's just /home you can do it with the system up. | 20:03 |
| gauravkittz | can sm1 tell me any good desktop client for identi.ca | 20:03 |

| adnc | tonyyarusso: thank you, i know, but i've library that i would like to compile and the configure script is looking for python > 2.5 so it doesnt find | 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | dcherniv: that's only the kernel | 20:06 |
| * RedMushroom has to reinstall | 20:06 | |
| mar2 | tonyyarusso: thanks :) ok it says unmount command not found | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | Syntux: barf the only warning i see is about fs that are journaled | 20:06 |
| tonyyarusso | adnc: See if there's a variable you can pass to configure for the path. | 20:06 |
| coz_ | lsb_release -a doesnt show 32 or 64 bit | 20:06 |
| tonyyarusso | mar2: umount, not unmount - no N. | 20:06 |
| ikonia | coz_: uname -a will | 20:06 |
| adnc | tonyyarusso: thank you | 20:06 |
| dcherniv | sebsebseb: if your kernel is 64 bit then your system is 64 bit | 20:06 |

| coz_ | moller_, no that is 32 bit | 20:08 |
| erUSUL | Syntux: to mount the filesystem read writte you have to pass the "force" option to mount | 20:08 |
| coz_ | moller_, actually uname -m would do it | 20:08 |

| === ben is now known as Guest82224 | ||
| tonyyarusso | mar2: You'll need to quit the things that are using your login. You should be able to accomplish that by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 to drop to a terminal, running 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' to kill your X session, and then doing 'sudo -i' to become root for a while, which I think will then free up your user. | 20:09 |
| erUSUL | Syntux: force Used to force write access to volumes that are marked as journalled or locked. Use at your own risk. | 20:09 |
| moller_ | Oh that's bad. When I was using Ubuntu for fun, I used Wubi and it installed 64 bit, but then I installed Ubuntu completely, and now I have 32 bit. Would I have to get a new iso for 64 bit? | 20:09 |
| tonyyarusso | mar2: If that doesn't work you can reboot into single-user mode instead. | 20:09 |
| coz_ | moller_, yes | 20:09 |
| moller_ | Wubi 64 bit worked fine. | 20:09 |
| Syntux | erUSUL, what's the worse thing that would happen ? | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | moller_: apparnatlly your on 32bit, and so you do 32bit Ubuntu not 64bit | 20:09 |
| coz_ | moller_, you would have to donwload the 64 bit iso | 20:10 |

| tonyyarusso | mar2: or, it may still let you do a remount as read-only instead of unmounting entirely. (check the mount/umount man pages for details on the syntax for that) | 20:10 |
| moller_ | sebsebseb: Wubi 64 bit worked fine, so would you recommend me to use 64 bit? | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | moller_: how much RAM? | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | Syntux: do a little googling about it | 20:10 |

| GodfatherofEire | How would I go about loading a driver module to the kernel? | 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | moller_: if you have a 64bit compatible proccessor, but people say not worth bothering with 64bit unless you have 4GB or more RAM | 20:14 |
| ikonia | moller_: the ram is not a factor to if you "can" use 64bit - why do you "want" to use 64bit ix the key factor | 20:15 |

| ikonia | moller_: and does your processor "support" 64bit is the limiting factor | 20:16 |
| moller_ | sebsebseb: Ahh okay. Well the main reason for this is that I just tried to install the nVidia driver 180.44, but it kinda messed it all up (I did download the 32bit driver) | 20:16 |
| ikonia | CrawfordComeaux: just mount it - ubuntu should detect it for you | 20:16 |

| moller_ | ikonia: Well im trying to check my kernal | 20:18 |
| sebsebseb | ikonia: that's what I thought to, but someone earlier said it would say if it was 64bit | 20:18 |
| ikonia | sebsebseb: I said the command is "uname -m" | 20:18 |
| coz_ | moller_, yes uname -r is kernel version and uname -m is architeture type | 20:18 |
| GodfatherofEire | How would I go about loading a driver module to the kernel? | 20:19 |
| botux1 | sebsebseb: if ubunut recommends fresh install each time a new version comes out then that would be a lot of backing up of documnets and stuff | 20:19 |
| coz_ | GodfatherofEire, which driver for which hardware? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | sebsebseb: don't lie - if you thought that was the wrong command you wouldn't make a comment like "looks like 32bit" there is no way you can tell it's 32bit from that line | 20:19 |

| vegombrei | coz_: i could | 20:20 |
| coz_ | GodfatherofEire, mm what is that? | 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | botux1: when 9.04 is released and for those that want the Ext4 file system, well yes getting rid of 8.10 and putting 9.04 on with Ext4 partitions, would be a proper reason for a clean install, ,but for those that don't care about it, an upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 would be ok | 20:20 |
| moller_ | ikonia: Well it returns i686 which is 32 bit, but doesnt that change depending on if I use 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit? | 20:20 |
| coz_ | vegombrei, that would be the best way of checking just stick it in reboot and see if things work well | 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | botux1: it's just meant to be a lot faster and such | 20:20 |

| sebsebseb | botux1: and I have a proper reason to clean install my setup, which is not 8.10 anymore, and that's been a while. never get a development version when your new by the way | 20:21 |
| moller_ | Well, how would I then figure out if my cpu was able to handle 64 bit? | 20:21 |
| coz_ | GodfatherofEire, there should be a README file inside the driver directory that you downloaded | 20:22 |
| ikonia | moller_: let me ask you this why do you "want" to use 64bit ? | 20:22 |
| eqisow | guaravkittz: the difference, essentially, is address space. a 32bit register vs a 64bit register | 20:22 |
| GodfatherofEire | coz_ there is, but it just says to load the module to the kernel | 20:22 |
| botux1 | right | 20:22 |

| eqisow | guaravkittz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64bit | 20:22 |

| sebsebseb | ikonia: he probably does not know the difference between 32bit and 64bit Linux, to be honest I am not 100% sure myself | 20:23 |
| coz_ | you can look at 32 and 64 bit like a milshake with 32 straws or 64 straws:) | 20:23 |
| moller_ | ikonia: Because I used it with Wubi, so therefore I was more used to that, and because my graphic driver seems to be messed up, so I thought it might be because of 32 bit, but I must be wrong. | 20:23 |
| _pisecx_ | Hi. I have a question to english-speaking people. Does word "ubuntology" makes any sense to you? | 20:23 |

| dudette | what does it mean again if the file permissions are given like this 0700? i mean why 4 digits and not 3? | 21:00 |

| aliases | hello every1 | 21:01 |
| VE2EBP | Would you have a webpage I could go to in order to find what's what? | 21:01 |

| sn00p- | How do I make my external monitor work on my laptop which has ubuntu installed? its a 6150 nvidia go video card | 21:02 |
| Ienorand | unko: That is probably because you have launched it with limited priviliges, try using: "gksu synaptic" instead. | 21:02 |
| n8tuser | dudette -> man ls; 0 is type regular text file | 21:02 |

| Ienorand | unko: Sure. | 21:05 |
| Picassotamus | lukavia: Alsa is default, did you uninstall it, or trying new version? | 21:05 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | n8tuser, but its been put in an MD5 hash, and no, I could have sworn I typed in the password correctly, but I guess I didnt | 21:05 |
| Slart | wathek: the difference between the 32 and 64 bit is mainly that 64 bit can address more than 4GB of memory.. speedwise it's almost the same | 21:05 |
| n8tuser | dudette -> do you like to argue or follow what i suggested? | 21:05 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | I've tried several alterations, but I guess I made an error putting it in initially | 21:06 |
| lukavia | Picassotamus: i tried alsa-driver-1.0.19 | 21:06 |
| wathek | Slart: so no difference if I install 32 or 64 bits | 21:06 |
| wathek | ok | 21:06 |

| wathek | thanx Slart | 21:06 |

| Slart | wathek: some proprietary stuff is still 32 bit only.. I can't use the firefox plugin for my e-security thingy since it's 32bit only.. | 21:06 |
| dudette | n8tuser: what did you suggest? i am looking at the man ls page and can not find that section where it says that 0 mean regular text file | 21:06 |
| Picassotamus | lukavia: Is you card listed as supported by ALSA? | 21:06 |
| n8tuser | GodfatherofEir1 -> yes its that file | 21:06 |

| Picassotamus | lukavia: oh nvm then... well, if its integrated to mobo, its probably not PCI so wouldn't show up in lspci | 21:20 |
| frostburn | matamou, do a lsusb doyou see it there? | 21:20 |
| exco | matamou: do they show in lsusb? | 21:20 |
| frostburn | matamou, alternatively do a, ls /dev/disk/by-id/ do you see it there? | 21:21 |
| Picassotamus | lukavia: you could try lshw, see if its in there | 21:21 |
| matamou | nope, they dont | 21:21 |
| lukavia | Picassotamus: i will really appreciate any further help | 21:21 |

| PROMO | Hi, I have Ubuntu 8.04.2 , how can I find the version of libpcap on my machine ? | 21:32 |
| sebsebseb | _Brun0_: and yes you can run those apps in both | 21:32 |
| vistausah | can sonome help me with this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259448 I am using the VNC4server variant as this is a remote installation. I get a grey screen with Xvnc and with vnc4server it looks like I can't connect at all and the processs doesn't even seem to start | 21:33 |
| sebsebseb | !vnc | vistausash | 21:33 |
| ubottu | vistausash: 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 | 21:33 |
| _Brun0_ | sebastien, i know i can. I'm ocncerned if there will be a performance gain with xfce. My laptop is not slow, 2GB DD2 and NVidia 8400 video. But I'm always seeking for the better. | 21:33 |
| matt | can anyone explain to me why brasero freezes up every time i try to add an mp3 file while trying to create an audio cd | 21:34 |
| sebsebseb | _Brun0_: maybe a slight gain with XFCE | 21:34 |
| _Brun0_ | matt, can you play mp3 files? | 21:34 |
| matt | yes | 21:34 |
| * kon <3's blender :) | 21:34 | |
| vistausah | ty sebsebeseb but i know how to get VNC working... im specifically trying to get it working using xinetd | 21:34 |
| iamstupid | hi guys | 21:34 |
| BuzZz | hi good afternoon | 21:34 |
| matt | i searched around, i cannot find any answeres to why this happens | 21:34 |
| dudette | what exactly does this mean? "The symbols \< and \> respectively match the empty string at the beginning and end of a word"? | 21:34 |
| matt | it just simply wont burn cd's | 21:35 |
| deany | matt, k3b | 21:35 |
| sebsebseb | _Brun0_: for real performance gains maybe you should look into PuppyLinux and Damn Small Linux, ideal for older hardware with hardly any RAM. Xubuntu is also recommended for hardly any RAM | 21:35 |
| iamstupid | very wet behind the ears woman (yes woman) needs help updating her system... | 21:35 |
| matt | that is a burning app correct? | 21:35 |
| iamstupid | can anyone help me please???? | 21:35 |
| deany | brasero is just too immature for me | 21:35 |
| matt | for what its worth, the same thing happens in gnomebaker | 21:35 |
| matt | except instead of freezing, it simply crashes and goes away | 21:35 |
| kon | iamstupid: but , your nick makes me not want to | 21:35 |
| kon | :) jk m8 | 21:35 |
| BuzZz | kon can u give me some support ? | 21:35 |
| kon | whats the prob ? | 21:35 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: in my experience XFCE4 is much, much faster than either KDE or Gnome, yes | 21:35 |
| _Brun0_ | matt, interesting... try this: orth, | 21:36 |
| iamstupid | erm... well i can't you there kon | 21:36 |
| sebsebseb | iamstupid: the thing about the ears, makes me wonder what you meant exactly, and your knick is also a bit of a put off from help | 21:36 |
| rickest | Xubuntu = XFCE | 21:36 |
| Dreaded | iamstupid: your nick is a bit self deprecating, no? | 21:36 |
| _Brun0_ | rickest, ty alot. i'll test it. | 21:36 |

| Dreaded | kon: do you watch Bleach? | 21:36 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: Nowadays when I get a new computer, I simply install ubuntu-server, then xfce4. screams | 21:36 |
| iamstupid | well i'm feeling frustrated and feel incredibly silly even though i know i have some intelligence | 21:36 |
| matt | Bruno, may i pm you, too much going on? | 21:36 |
| kon | Dreaded: yes. lol. | 21:36 |
| * Dreaded dies laughing | 21:36 | |
| kon | hehe | 21:36 |
| rickest | on even older machines, IceWM is even smaller/faster (but simpler) than XFCE | 21:37 |
| Dreaded | i love Kon tho | 21:37 |
| mroc | how do i change the default appearance for the "guest account"? | 21:37 |
| BuzZz | thnks kon i want to know if ubuntu LIVE CD have can write on ntfs partition | 21:37 |
| _Brun0_ | rickest, does it have any gui? | 21:37 |
| sebsebseb | iamstupid: maybe do a /knick newnamegoeshere then people will want to help you more maybe | 21:37 |
| deany | matt, just use k3b and be done with it | 21:37 |
| Dreaded | iamstupid: well, I'm sure you aren't stupid | 21:37 |
| PROMO | Hi, how can I find the version of libpcap on Ubuntu 8.04.2 ? | 21:37 |

| Dreaded | iamstupid: what do you need help with, specifically? I'm at work, can't help for long, but I'll give it a try | 21:37 |
| wamty | Anyone??? | 21:37 |
| matt | deany: the thing is is that it does a similar crash in gnomebaker, but ill try k3b | 21:37 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: yes, IceWM is basic but is basically laid out similar to Windows. With XFCE4, I disabled panel and run avant-window-navigator with compiz. it's closer to mac than win | 21:37 |

| kon | iamstupid: i've yet to see your question | 21:38 |
| iamstupid | thanks dreaded : i haven't updated my ubuntu for ages so still on 7.04 | 21:38 |
| deany | i had probs with brasero too, so i went back to k3b which never failed | 21:38 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: I think XFCE is the best compromise between small footprint but still completely usable as a full-time GUI if that's your preference | 21:38 |
| matt | alright, I'll install it and get back to you guys | 21:38 |
| matt | thank you :) | 21:38 |
| mroc | how do i change the default appearance for the "guest account"? | 21:38 |
| sebsebseb | iamstupid: you have to upgrade to 7.10 first, and then you can upgrade to 8.04 | 21:38 |
| iamstupid | but can't upgrade - i seem to have solved the problem with my sources list | 21:38 |
| iamstupid | yeah that 's what i'm trying to do sebsebseb | 21:39 |
| wamty | can anyone plz help mee? | 21:39 |
| Dreaded | iamstupid: try running 'sudo update-manager -d' | 21:39 |
| sebsebseb | iamstupid: 8.04 being the current latest stable. and if your not going to upgrade release by release, you shoud probably stay with LTS's | 21:39 |
| sebsebseb | !upgrade | iamstupid | 21:39 |
| ubottu | iamstupid: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 21:39 |
| iamstupid | ubottu: been there done that | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:39 |
| kon | BuzZz: it makes its own file system. you cannot install on a ntfs m8. | 21:39 |

| kon | sorry for the delay, im eating some fruit :) | 21:40 |
| rickest | wamty: from your description it sounds like you haven't started a window manager in ~/.vnc/xstartup | 21:40 |
| iamstupid | does anyone pls have time to discuss fully through a pm please?? | 21:40 |
| _Brun0_ | rickest, IceWM rocks i've used it some years ago! Does it messes my system to have xfce or IceWM with gnome? | 21:40 |
| |ntegra| | <it's my first time using lilo> I can't edit lilo by lilo.conf.goblinx or #lilo -v -v ,, so how else might I conficker my lilo proper?? | 21:40 |
| sebsebseb | wamty: make sure VNC is done over SSH, if your doing it using the net, or you won't be secure | 21:40 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: not at all | 21:40 |
| Freeaqingme | I'm getting no sound when playing any kind of media file (with sound(track) enabled) when I use VLC, all other players work fine. Any clue what that could be? | 21:40 |
| rickest | wamty: I use TightVNC, however, so there may be differences in how yours is configured compared to mine | 21:40 |
| |ntegra| | I like grub so much better >familiarity | 21:41 |
| _Brun0_ | rickest, I might dump xfce to use IceWM now that you remembered me about it. 2 extremes lol. | 21:41 |
| kon | wamty: do you have a amd64 cpu ? | 21:41 |
| BuzZz | kon i dont want install ubuntu over NTFS the only thing i need is erase 2 files... that's all, its possible do that from live cd ? | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | Freeaqingme: have you got all the codecs installed? | 21:41 |
| kon | BuzZz: yes its possible m8 :) | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | !sound | Freeaqingme | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Freeaqingme: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:41 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: yeah, IceWM is another magnitude smaaller than XFCE :). I do like compiz, however, and you cannot replaced Ice's WM so that's why I stuck with XFCE | 21:41 |
| xjam | I cant install Ubuntu 8.10 | 21:41 |
| |ntegra| | k.bye | 21:42 |
| elias | what is the gid of admin group? | 21:42 |
| kon | BuzZz: The live cd will display any and every hdd in your systems ide or sata | 21:42 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: later, you can even get rid of Gnome with: apt-get purge gnome-desktop | 21:42 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: why not? how have you tried to install it? | 21:42 |
| xjam | Probably disc error? | 21:42 |
| BuzZz | Kon: a last question, what is "m8" sorry my english sucks | 21:42 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | xjam | 21:42 |
| ubottu | xjam: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 21:42 |
| kon | xjam: did you do a disck check first ? | 21:42 |
| _Brun0_ | BuzZz, should be possible. Google for: ubuntu mount ntfs. You need to mount it. | 21:42 |
| QaDeS | hiays. how come i got a 1-2 seconds midi latency when using alsa/jack? | 21:42 |
| kon | xjam: to see if the cd is intact | 21:42 |
| BuzZz | thnks _Brun0_ :) | 21:42 |
| xjam | yes I did. I've checked disc first. | 21:42 |
| BuzZz | i will try it..! | 21:42 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: can you boot from the CD at all | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | ? | 21:43 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: I'm not necessarily recommending that, just that most folks don't realize ALL the *buntus are the same thing except for what they install by default, and that CAN be changed later w/o having to switch *buntu | 21:43 |
| kon | -_- | 21:43 |
| xjam | yes I can. | 21:43 |
| kon | we* | 21:43 |
| kon | ;) | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: why can't you install then? you can boot up a live session on the cd? or the installer? | 21:43 |
| xjam | I'm in live session now. | 21:43 |
| kon | ok im out of here before i get 1,000 pm's for help. | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: you meant, you don't know how to install? | 21:43 |
| kon | peace :) | 21:43 |
| xjam | I know how to install but I get error message | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: what's the error message | 21:44 |
| _Brun0_ | rickest, yea they are all the same lion with different clothes =P | 21:44 |
| reid_ | hihi | 21:44 |
| xjam | hm, the system is telling me that CD or disc might have some errors and then quits froom installing. | 21:44 |
| sebsebseb | reid_: !hi | reid | 21:44 |
| sebsebseb | !hi | reid | 21:44 |
| ubottu | reid: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 21:44 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: yep. the various *buntu packages are ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop (XFCE), etc. Or as I said earlier, you can just install ubuntu-server and then only install the exact packages you want. less cruft | 21:45 |
| xjam | Hey you're very quick with answers... | 21:45 |
| lukavia | Picassotamus: lshw gives a long list and no sound devices | 21:45 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: ok you md5sumed the ISO before burning to CD? | 21:45 |
| iamstupid | hi everyone - am having issues updating ubuntu because i've left it so long. I managed to sort out the fact that it couldn't download all repository indexes by changing my sources list. I have now done this and when I try to upgrade, I get an error message saying "No valid mirror found" - please can anyone help me? | 21:45 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: me? | 21:45 |
| xjam | No, I guess I have to. | 21:45 |
| reid_ | so if I want to install just the KDE environment I can do kubuntu-server and not get all the worthless crap? | 21:45 |
| xjam | Yes you too. | 21:45 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: ok it's in Windows on there? | 21:45 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: the ISO | 21:45 |
| blip | why doesnt ubuntu boot instantly? | 21:45 |
| xjam | Yes on my laptop with Win XP. | 21:46 |
| howell__ | hello | 21:46 |
| sebsebseb | blip: why dosan't Windows boot instantly? why dosan't Mac OS X boot instantly? they don't boot instantly for exactly the same reason | 21:46 |
| blip | like 5 sec from pusing power and be inside Ubuntu, that'd be neat | 21:46 |
| xjam | I've created CD/RW with it. | 21:46 |

| blip | yes but what needs to be improved? | 21:46 |
| * reid_ KNOWS howell__ is dumb at life | 21:46 | |
| sebsebseb | blip: PC's haven't been designed for instant on stuff, but in newer comes there is instant on basic Linux installs on the chips. well they take like 30 seconds to boot up or whatever | 21:46 |
| Picassotamus | lukavia: well... it doesn't make sense that ubuntu wouldn't detect your sound card... and yet that seems to be the case, which explains why ALSA can't find it... when was the last time you booted up to windows and had sound work? | 21:46 |
| sebsebseb | blip: in newer computers above | 21:47 |

| Picassotamus | lukavia: There is a gui app to look at all your hardware, might make it easier then looking at output from lshw.... in add/remove programs try searching for "hardware"... i think its called Device Manager or something | 21:48 |
| rickest | _Brun0_: you don't even have to do it as manual as that web page. just install ubuntu-server, then 'apt-get install icewm'. voila | 21:48 |

| sebsebseb | xjam: the CD itself may be dirty or scracthed or something | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: you can burn a new one, and burn it slower at say 4x speed | 22:03 |
| xjam | So CD must be okay. | 22:03 |
| Slart | spaceBARbarian: and then you realised you should ask for help in the jaunty channel.. but you forgot to add +1 to the channel name.. quite understandable | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: no the ISO is ok | 22:03 |
| xjam | Aha, good idea!! | 22:03 |

| sebsebseb | xjam: wait | 22:03 |
| xjam | Yes the ISO is OK. | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: you were going to put on 8.10? | 22:03 |
| Picassotamus | iamstupid: I can't help you further unless there is a error message... I mean if you followed the instuctions w/o errors than it worked, right? | 22:03 |

| sebsebseb | happyhessian: why? | 22:07 |
| Slart | wamty: just asking "anyone?" will only make people annoyed.. repeat the whole question every 20 minutes or so.. if someone knows they will probably answer | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: oh you just done install on the CD? yeah boot up the Live session and then you can run the installer | 22:08 |

| ruben23 | hi... | 22:24 |
| ruben23 | have ideas on it..? | 22:24 |
| RedMushroom | it keeps saying it needs to reconfigure my graphics settings and rebooting linux | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: a little pointless putting 8.10 on now, except as a tempory install, because 9.04 is released on April 23rd, and has Ext4 as an option for the file system. and the default Ext3 upgrades are only partial Ext4 suppourt | 22:24 |
| matisse | mgolisch, Picassotamus: found the reason: the directory you mentioned is not in the PATH... thx for the hints! | 22:24 |
| RedMushroom | i've even tried reformating and reinstalling but it won't go away >:-( | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | xjam: I mean Ext3 can only get partial suppourt | 22:25 |
| Slart | is ext4 recommended now? has everyone agreed that it's not as bad as the reports said? | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | Slart: by the sounds of it most of the Ext4 issues are fixed or pretty much fixed | 22:26 |

| Goldfisch | philipp: eth1 isn't a network. It could be the name the kernel assigns to a network card in your system. | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | botux1: yes, but you woudn't normalely want Windows to have access to the Linux partitions, after all, you get a virus on Windows let's say, and it could delete Linux's stuff | 22:35 |

| sebsebseb | safetynet: you can upgrade from one LTS to another LTS, but you can't upgrade to whatever version of Ubuntu you feel like, from whatever version of Ubuntu you felt like upgrading from | 22:38 |
| Goldfisch | philipp: When the kernel boots, it usually finds all network devices. You can see what it found using "ifconfig -a". It gives a listing of known network devices. Check this against your existing hardware. You typically don't pick the names, instead the kernel modules do that. If any card is missing, you may need to figure out the right kernel module and have it loaded as well. | 22:38 |

| flip | SliderMan: you can do that in gparted | 22:39 |
| gregge | Slart: Ok, I don't have compiz activated particularly often though :/ | 22:39 |

| Goldfisch | philipp: I good example was the fact that in the past, motherboards with nVidia ethernet support weren't standard in the kernel, and required loading the forcedeth module to activate them. | 22:39 |

| meoblast001 | sebsebseb: i don't have that folder | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | meoblast001: Gnash is nice, but Adobe Flash is still better with Flash | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | meoblast001: you can't have both installed | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | meoblast001: they won't work nicely together I mean | 22:54 |
| Matson | is there a maximum partition size for scsi 3.0 GB drives using ext3 ? | 22:55 |
| meoblast001 | sebsebseb: i uninstall Proprieflash | 22:55 |
| carpii__ | im guessing 3.0 G | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | Matson: no maxium partition size, as long as you got space on your hard disk | 22:55 |
| Matson | sebsebseb: thanks | 22:55 |
| meoblast001 | sebsebseb: i'm compiling because Gnash from Ubuntu's repos isn't working well | 22:55 |
| Diabl0 | someone know which plugin for x-chat for show music playing in audacious ? | 22:55 |
| drostie | why are Ubuntu's openssl packages still back at 0.9.8 g/h? | 22:55 |
| Matson | on the "partition" section of the installer, some partifitions have a capital "F" other have a small "f" anyone know the difference? | 22:56 |
| sebsebseb | meoblast001: yeah you can install Flash directly from Mozilla, but the one in the repo is pretty up to date | 22:56 |
| meoblast001 | sebsebseb: Gnash | 22:56 |
| sebsebseb | meoblast001: try Swfdec as well if you want alternative to Adobe's | 22:56 |
| lewench | Anyone know how to execute a command in bash to display results in another terminal? | 22:56 |
| meoblast001 | sebsebseb: you can't compile Flash.. it's proprietary | 22:56 |
| sebsebseb | meoblast001: yes I know that, and Swfdec is nice as well | 22:56 |
| Preplexed | sorry to ask wen i am adding something in session prefrences wat i put in the command line | 22:56 |

| wat | yes Preplexed? | 22:56 |
| wat | you said my name | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | meoblast001: the Flash format is propritary, and so these players well they are for a propritary format and so hum | 22:57 |
| Picassotamus | lewench: yes pipe them.... ls -la | tty1 maybe? | 22:57 |
| meoblast001 | sebsebseb: uh huh | 22:57 |
| lukavia | Picassotamus: will be a problem if i install OSS drivers now ? | 22:57 |
| Picassotamus | lewench: or /dev/tty1 perhaps | 22:57 |
| Matson | if there are bad blocks on a drive - will the format and filesystem create handle them? | 22:57 |
| Matson | or do I need to do something to check and flag them on install? | 22:58 |
| Duckthis | Is there someone under 8.10 or previous who can give me an info about TrueCrypt? | 22:58 |

| otm | when you join a channel and it says "no messages from outside", what have I done wrong when joining it? | 22:58 |
| lewench | Picassotamus, Ah, pipe. Ok, I will read up on that. Im creating a script, but when I execute a command it kinda closes the script, so I have to restart the script again. Is there a way around this? My alternative was to open the command in another terminal. | 22:58 |
| Picassotamus | lukavia: Is your soundcard showing up now? | 22:58 |
| |Dreams| | is there a problem with the new kernels that dont allow me to change the mtu above 1500? if so what good is that if i am using fiber that supports larger than 1500 | 22:59 |

| Picassotamus | lukavia: If your soundcard isn't detected, then it won't matter what driver you have : / | 23:01 |
| mbent_ | there used to be an option in network manager plugin, but it seems to have disappeared in the latest version | 23:01 |
| lewench | Picassotamus, Once I exec the script, it asks you a question to setup the variable. then it executes the command with the variable. But when it executes the command the script finishes. I want it to go back to the menu. | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | Behappy: you can do it in the recovery console as well. in the root prompt. sudo passwd username | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | Behappy: password changing may even work better there | 23:02 |
| Behappy | sebsebseb: Ok let me try | 23:02 |
| tonyyarusso | sebsebseb: you don't need sudo when you're already root. | 23:02 |

| philipp | okey can anyone else say me how i can make an name like wlan1 for a controller? | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | Behappy: yeah recovery console, from the bootloader, and yes no sudo in the root prompt as that guy pointed out | 23:02 |
| lukavia | Picassotamus: your thinking is logicall, so any other ideas ? :/ | 23:02 |
| Behappy | ok | 23:02 |
| tonyyarusso | it should work, but is a bit silly :P | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | Behappy: you can also get a root prompt in Ubuntu install and try there | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | Behappy: and graphically you can set a password for a user even it seems | 23:03 |
| Picassotamus | lewench: I'm not an experienced BASH scripter... but you would probably need to setup some kind of loop, where it checks if the persion types quit, or again, then repeats code | 23:05 |
| sebsebseb | Behappy: sudo -i for a root prompt | 23:05 |

| eseven73 | Pica, Picassotamus same person? | 23:09 |
| Behappy | sebsebseb: the password still incorrect on graphic mode | 23:10 |
| Picassotamus | lukavia: Yeah... i would either try 8.04 since it worked before, or 8.1 again... i don't know what else to say really... | 23:10 |

| matt | sebsebseb: you said to open grabcd-rip through the terminal. i cannot figure out how to open apps in the terminal. can you give me the proper command syntax? | 23:11 |
| deany | matt, there are better apps.. use em | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | matt: name of program and hit enter | 23:11 |
| Picassotamus | lukavia: I doubt that is your sound card, since lspvp is for plug and play, imo | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | deany: such as? | 23:11 |
| matt | that did not work | 23:11 |
| Behappy | sebsebseb: also I can't login by root to mode graphic | 23:11 |
| lukavia | Picassotamus: now i remember that in 8.04 i heard only the login sound, which is "bum-bum" if u know :) and after that in X i did not have sound | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | deany: telling him that there are better apps, but not which, is not that helpful really | 23:11 |

| eseven73 | ogg is more linux-like :) | 23:13 |

| eseven73 | sebsebseb, No Im not an op silly | 23:25 |
| sebblucas | good afternoon to all, i am looking for someone who can help extensively with ubuntu server setup | 23:25 |
| otm | fosco_: Isn't that just a network proxy though :S (i've never really understood this) | 23:25 |
| CrawfordComeaux | if I've got a disk with a deleted partition and I use gparted to create a partition, will that erase the data? | 23:25 |
| meshuggah | sebsebseb, it is what iam saying, if people need help, me will help if i can | 23:25 |
| Titan8990 | sebblucas, join #ubuntu-server | 23:26 |
| sebblucas | thanks you titan8990 | 23:26 |
| Titan8990 | sebblucas, but you are not going to find someone to config your server for you | 23:26 |
| jdu | m1dn1ght, sometimes if you fiddle with the settings for a while and/or change frequencies, it will show more options. | 23:26 |
| Titan8990 | sebblucas, if you don't know anything about UNIX CLI administration, a linux server is probably not the best choice | 23:26 |
| jdu | has anyone used /dev/audio or /dev/dsp to record? | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | meshuggah: ok | 23:26 |
| jdu | CrawfordComeaux, erase the data in the deleted partition? | 23:27 |
| botux1 | anyone else wanna take a stab at helping me with samba | 23:27 |
| CrawfordComeaux | sorry...crappy question. a partition was deleted and I'm trying to recover the files in it. if I create a partition using gparted, will that delete the files I'm trying to grab? | 23:27 |
| nejode | CrawfordComeaux: you should run testdisk before creating a new partition | 23:27 |
| jdu | botux1, what is wrong? | 23:27 |
| CrawfordComeaux | nejode: ok | 23:27 |
| meshuggah | CrawfordComeaux, yeah | 23:27 |
| CrawfordComeaux | that's installing right now | 23:28 |
| Matson | does "mount" show swap spaces? | 23:28 |
| botux1 | jdu: well i can see my vista pc on the network but cant access it it keeps saying unable to mount | 23:28 |
| fosco_ | Matson: no, use free to view swap | 23:28 |
| CrawfordComeaux | Matson: nope | 23:28 |
| Matson | how do I tell if swap is mounting correctly at startup? | 23:29 |
| fosco_ | Matson: free -m | 23:29 |
| === tk is now known as tk|away | ||
| jdu | botux1, I don't think I can help with it then. I have only ever done accessing samba on ubuntu from windows | 23:29 |
| jdu | Matson, swapon untility | 23:29 |
| jdu | swapon -s | 23:29 |
| Matson | so if free lists it there, then it is using it if it needs it / mounting correctly? | 23:30 |
| botux1 | jdu: im trying to be able to access samba from my windows box as well | 23:30 |
| ModNar | hey guys i have a Atheros A242X and running ubuntu 8.10 I can have installed the drivers before(madwifi) and they work but they don't work all the time they only work about 1/2 the time | 23:30 |
| botux1 | jd: i cant see my ubuntu shares on my vista box at all | 23:30 |
| Jerky_ | is there a channel for jaunty? | 23:30 |
| botux1 | jdu: rather | 23:30 |
| fosco_ | Matson: yes | 23:31 |
| jdu | Jerky_, #ubuntu+1 | 23:31 |
| Jerky_ | thanks | 23:31 |
| ybeddyj | i have two files.....file1 was modified with a lot of changes to form file2 ...now i want to compare them and discard the similar areas and only keep the changes for file3...how do i do that...sdiff..diff..diff3 what should i use and what switches | 23:31 |
| jdu | botux1, you might need to fix something in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 23:32 |
| botux1 | jdu: im in the gui editor now tryig to figure it out an its like greek to me lol | 23:32 |
| jrib | ybeddyj: diff -Nurp | 23:32 |
| jrib | ybeddyj: i mean there are a lot of ways... | 23:32 |
| jdu | botux1, personally, nfs is much better. doesn't work with windows though | 23:32 |
| ybeddyj | thx jrib | 23:33 |
| jdu | botux1, for information: man smb.conf | 23:33 |
| ybeddyj | ii'm gonna try that now | 23:33 |
| otm | if I want to extract a file to usr/local/bin how would i do this through terminal (since it doesn't allow me to drag and drop it) | 23:33 |
| jrib | otm: what are you doing exactly? | 23:34 |
| Titan8990 | otm, you have to be very careful about what you add to things that are in default $PATH | 23:34 |
| jdu | otm, once it is extracted: sudo cp file /usr/local/bin | 23:34 |
| otm | hmm, i'll probably not do it then | 23:36 |
| ybeddyj | jrib itstill list the similar areas ...how do i omit the similarities | 23:38 |
| botux1 | !samba | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:38 |
| jrib | ybeddyj: right, the options i gave you give context. Read what the options do in the man page | 23:38 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Well, now that GDM is up and running again, I just need to be able to log in | 23:39 |
| jrib | ybeddyj: is there a reason you don't want context though? I find diffs pretty useless without it | 23:41 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | When I log in I get this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146524/ | 23:42 |
| ianm_ | can a Wacom send XInput events but not control the mouse cursor? | 23:42 |
| a1fa | hey my system does not support usb boot.. but i have grub installed on the mbr.. is there anyway i can have grub load grub config from the usb stick? | 23:42 |
| spaceBARbarian | i just tried installing lamp server using "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" and i got this error: tasksel: aptitude failed (128), it wont let me start the install again either, anyone know how to fix this ? | 23:43 |
| Ienorand | a1fa: Yes, I don't know *how* but there should be some howto's out there... | 23:44 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | I tried dropping into recovery mode and fixing xserver, but no such luck | 23:44 |
| botux1 | im confused | 23:44 |
| RedMushroom | can somebody PLEASE help me w/ an issue i'm having with my graphics configuration? | 23:46 |
| RedMushroom | the stupid thing keeps saying that it can't detect the configuration settings, asking me to reset them, and then rebooting and doing the same thing. i've even tried reinstalling and it still does it | 23:47 |
| RedMushroom | it's driving me nuts because it won't go away, and when i load the live CD I don't have the issue with isolinux | 23:47 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | A fixed GDM doesnt do me much good unless I can actually log in, so I really need some help | 23:48 |

| virtx | i just try to disable acpi with F6 option | 23:52 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: 8.04 is better with older hardware | 23:52 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Could somebody help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146524/ ? | 23:52 |
| virtx | ok | 23:52 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: why Slackware to Ubuntu? you made it sound like you were quite experienced with Slackware, so it does not make sense | 23:53 |
| virtx | sebsebseb, because i want a good package manager :) | 23:53 |
| virtx | i'm downloading 8.04.2 | 23:54 |
| virtx | it's ok with old pc? | 23:54 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: you know about md5sums? | 23:54 |
| virtx | sebsebseb, what about? | 23:54 |
| ybeddyj | jrib i actually had an installation that got messed up...i had saved the install state for synaptic now i want to do a fresh install but i dont want to go through synaptic searching for all my changes. further the saved state was done fron UNR and now i'm going straight ubuntu..if i just used the saved state its gonna give me the unr stuffs which i dont want. so i installed unr and saved its default state hoping that i could diff t | 23:54 |
| [4-tea-2] | Can I tell nautilus which folder to display as "Desktop"? I tried symlinking the folder I want, but I now get $HOME as Desktop instead of the symlink's target. | 23:54 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: well got to do a trick on 128MB RAM, before the Live CD will even boot up, but otherwise I guess so. | 23:54 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: puppylinux of course will work nicely on an old pc and damn small linux | 23:54 |
| virtx | ah | 23:54 |
| meoblast001 | Gnash isn't working | 23:55 |
| meoblast001 | can someone help me? | 23:55 |

| meoblast001 | it won't play most videos | 23:55 |
| virtx | i need much sound codec libs | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: for servers 8.04 is also recommended | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | [4-tea-2]: See .config/user-dirs.dirs | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: and 8.04 gets security updates longer than 8.10 and 9.04 etc | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | meoblast001: use flashplugin-nonfree | 23:56 |
| [4-tea-2] | erUSUL: tzvm | 23:56 |
| [4-tea-2] | erUSUL: tyvm | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | !lts | virtx | 23:56 |
| ubottu | virtx: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | [4-tea-2]: no problem | 23:56 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Could somebody give me a hand with a login/xserver problems, and fixing it in recovery mode hasn't helped | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: there is also a server edition of 8.04 of course | 23:56 |
| virtx | yes i know | 23:56 |
| virtx | i'm downloading desktop | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U_ | GodfatherofEir1, What happens when you try to login / start X? | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: ,but yes the server stuff can be installed in the desktop version | 23:56 |
| tbird02 | i have a question. does linux need virus protection | 23:56 |
| meoblast001 | erUSUL: but flashplugin-nonfree is nonfree | 23:56 |
| meshuggah | tbird02, ? | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: do you know about md5sums? I would be a bit shocked if you didn't , since most experiened Linux users do | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U_ | tbird02, No | 23:57 |
| georgy_28 | ! virus | 23:57 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 23:57 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Jordan_U_ I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/146524/ | 23:57 |
| virtx | 'cos it is not really a server, but a radio station | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | meoblast001: well if you have problem with closed source apps... | 23:57 |
| hwilde | hello is there something censoring my xchat? people tell me they see **** or <censored> ? | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: which OS are you on now? Slackware? | 23:57 |
| meshuggah | hwilde, fuck shit damn asshole | 23:57 |
| virtx | sebsebseb, slackware on old pc and kubuntu and gentoo on new | 23:58 |
| tbird02 | i have a question. does linux need virus protection | 23:58 |
| hwilde | meshuggah, no, when I type to other people, they see it as censored or ***** | 23:58 |
| hwilde | !virus | tbird02 | 23:58 |
| ubottu | tbird02: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 23:58 |
| erUSUL | !language | meshuggah | 23:58 |
| ubottu | meshuggah: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: you know about the code comparision tests for ISO's? | 23:58 |
| meshuggah | erUSUL, sorry :) | 23:58 |
| tbird02 | thanks. | 23:58 |
| virtx | sebsebseb, md5? | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: yes | 23:58 |
| scunizi | meshuggah: most likely you'll get kicked if you continue.. this is a family friendly channel | 23:58 |
| virtx | yes | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | virtx | 23:58 |
| ubottu | virtx: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 23:58 |
| virtx | sebsebseb, then? | 23:59 |
| meshuggah | scunizi, iu am sorry, i only wanted to help a guy | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | virtx: yep should do that before burning even though 99% of the time, it will have downloaded the ISO properly | 23:59 |
| virtx | sebsebseb, what are you trying to say? | 23:59 |
| Geoffrey2 | personally, I'm not as wrapped up in the whole open/closed source thing as the simple question "Does it work?" | 23:59 |
| virtx | ahh | 23:59 |
| virtx | sebsebseb, the cd boots, but when i run "installation" it takes to me kernel panic | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | !freedom | Geoffrey2 | 23:59 |
| ubottu | Geoffrey2: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 23:59 |
