| jdu | Meat, manually? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| voice5sur5 | hi | 00:00 |
| Meat | no, it automatically did it. | 00:00 |
| jdu | hmm | 00:00 |
| stealth- | botux: if you downloaded the right file, you should only need to double click on it (or maybe single click, not sure) | 00:00 |
| techsupport | how do i extract file.tar ? | 00:01 |
| shadow21 | hello | 00:01 |
| linxeh | techsupport: tar xf file.tar | 00:01 |
| voice5sur5 | how can i activate a swap partition ? | 00:01 |
| craigbass1976 | So I've been on this roller coaster of a screen capture ride today. Had to do windows capture, but wanted to mix down stuff in Ubuntu... I have 4:29 video that is 975 megs. Is that a bit ridiculous? There's no audio. Can I mix out to something other (smaller?) than quick time movie from open movie editor? | 00:01 |
| jdu | If I were to guess, I would suggest that you require modules that are now broken with your current kernel. What happens if you boot from the older kernel? | 00:01 |
| stealth- | techsupport: if you double click (or maybe single) it should do it for you, for terminal, follow linxeh | 00:01 |
| Huufarted | voice5sur5: if you have a partition formatted as swap space, Ubuntu will use it automatically | 00:01 |
| stealth- | techsupport: 's method | 00:01 |
| Meat | I haven't tried it, nor do I know how. | 00:02 |
| voice5sur5 | Huufarted, he didnt :( | 00:02 |
| majnoon | how speed up ide drives ?/ | 00:02 |
| voice5sur5 | i have an extended partition | 00:02 |
| jdu | Meat, in grub, you can choose an older kernel on boot. | 00:02 |
| Huufarted | majnoon: speed up IDE drives? What do you mean? | 00:02 |
| RobotCow | stealth-, one good thing i found about combining them that way is that the it can get rid of the security/encryption of a pdf that prevents the user from copying text | 00:02 |
| voice5sur5 | i can use swapon but in reboot it vanish | 00:02 |
| Meat | ah, ok. so I guess I should try that then? | 00:02 |
| majnoon | it slow reading THOUGHT problem was with my usb driveit was with ide drive | 00:03 |
| stealth- | RobotCow: i didn't know they had security :O | 00:03 |
| majnoon | hdparm no work i think | 00:03 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I'm trying to resize my Windows partition to install Ubuntu on the rest, but Gparted says there are bad sectors, and I should try to fix that with 'chkdsk /f /r' & 2x reboot.... "Then you can resize NTFS safely by additionally using the --bad-sectors option of ntfsresize. So I've done chkdsk; how do I get Gparted to use --bad-sectors option on that partition to resize it? | 00:03 |
| jdu | Meat, its worth trying. You can also make it permanent by editing /boot/grub/menu.list | 00:03 |
| majnoon | trying to move mp3's off a small HD | 00:03 |
| Meat | ok thanks jdu | 00:03 |
| Barridus | tyler_brb, it appears there is an automagic wizard in intrepid. i haven't used it, but it looks to do the job. | 00:03 |
| Meat | i'll be back | 00:03 |
| jdu | I'll probably be gone, good luck! | 00:04 |

| botux | Huufarted: ok cool | 00:23 |
| IRiX_ | and according to that page its supposed to work | 00:23 |

| mike12 | Could not download all repository indexes | 00:30 |
| mike12 | The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used.

| StooJ | Guest41235, In the desktop section is an option called "Rotate Cube" | 01:50 |

| StooJ | Guest41235, then assuming you have compiz working, you should be able to get the cube | 01:51 |

| StooJ | Guest41235, alternatively, hold CTRL + ALT + Mouse button 1 to drag the cube around | 01:52 |
| StooJ | Guest41235, do you have a scrollwheel on your mouse? | 01:52 |
| Guest41235 | Stooj: not using a mouse.....am on laptop | 01:52 |

| thor^^ | matt: it's not bad, just remember to get 64 bit version | 02:11 |
| mib_qf4g7f | Mike_lifeguard: exactly, but you said you used "guided - use whole drive" which won't resize the windows partition. | 02:11 |

| thor^^ | virtualbox | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | matt: pretty good, but you may have to enable hardware virtualization in your bios, before 64bit vm's will even work | 02:11 |
| Mike_lifeguard | mib_qf4g7f: Oh, I didn't actually use it. I couldn't find the resize option so I quit the installation until I could figure it out. | 02:12 |
| thor^^ | the guest can be anything | 02:12 |
| mib_qf4g7f | Mike_lifeguard: if you DO want it to resize windows and use the extra space for ubuntu, that would go with the first option. | 02:12 |

| sebsebseb | EdgEy: ,but why would you want to? | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | salvadorfl: hi | 02:13 |
| matt | sebsebseb: Well, what I mean, if I've used 32bit virtualbox before, then 64bit should work without having to do anything different, right? other than use a 64bit host os and install the 64bit version of virtualbox? | 02:13 |
| Mike_lifeguard | mib_qf4g7f: but... the first option is "use the whole drive" or whatever... ie erase everything and replace Windows w/ ubuntu O.O | 02:13 |
| EdgEy | sebsebseb i am running xfce (by installing xubuntu-desktop) | 02:13 |
| EdgEy | so there are replacements for a lot of them | 02:13 |
| kimws1901 | kk | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | matt: I just told you, install 64bit host OS, install 64bit virtualbox, but before your vm will even work, you may have to enable hadware virtulization in your bios | 02:13 |
| Mike_lifeguard | mib_qf4g7f: there /is/ no 'resize' option... probably because I don't have enough contiguous space and/or I have bad sectors? | 02:14 |
| salvadorfl | hello i need help with vncviewer | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | matt: otherwise when you try to run a 64bit vm, it will be like your running on the wrong archectecture | 02:14 |

| sebsebseb | salvadorfl: why who is vncing you or who are you vncing? | 02:14 |
| matt | sebsebseb: do most bios's support this? | 02:14 |
| mib_qf4g7f | Mike_lifeguard: that's the first option?! well then the last option should be "use the most continuous free space" which should also be alright. if you have more than 1 drive then it may not install on the drive with windows and thus won't show up on the installer | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | matt: if your computer is 64bit, well then yeah I guess | 02:14 |

| Mocs | Does anyone know anything about setting up a Free Shard of Ultima Online on Ubuntu 8.10? | 02:25 |
| Acerone | Im wondering if it is possible to build a wireless 802.11g repeater. I have an ubuntu box with an Atheros card running the madwifi drivers. Is it possible to use wlanconfig to create two VAPs, one that acts as an Ap, and the second that forwards (bridges) packets to the actual ap. ???????? | 02:26 |
| Mocs | Acerone: yes | 02:27 |
| === nevle is now known as nevle_ | ||
| jdu | Acerone, sure it must be possible if the chipset supports it. I have only used dd-wrt | 02:27 |
| usr13 | Acerone: I have a slackware box that is an AP, and has Atheros Card | 02:27 |
| usr13 | Acerone: Works fine | 02:27 |
| Mocs | Acerone: as long as you bridge the connections, it should work | 02:27 |
| Acerone | so I can create two Vaps on one card? | 02:27 |
| usr13 | Acerone: I just use NAT | 02:27 |
| Sh3r1ff | Acerone: you'll have to split the interface | 02:27 |
| Acerone | Mocs: Do both vaps need to be on the same channel? | 02:28 |
| _ohm | I'm using the Logitech Dual Action game pad and ubuntu only makes one of the two joysticks pressure sensitive. How can I change this? | 02:28 |
| Mocs | Acerone: That I can't say... there is a utility that configs it automatically... lemme see if I can find it | 02:28 |
| Mocs | While I do... UO Server? Anyone? Bueller? | 02:29 |
| Sh3r1ff | Acerone: try first on the same channel, if it works, a different, if not, you know the answer ;) | 02:29 |
| Acerone | usr13: how do you setup NAT? will brctl take care of that for me? | 02:29 |
| Acerone | Sh3r1ff: k | 02:29 |
| Acerone | im working on a shell script to handle all the commands for me right now. . . | 02:29 |
| Sh3r1ff | Acerone: my guess would be they can have different channels, but i never tried something like that | 02:30 |

| kelito | No, I am sorry those keystrokes do not work. | 03:20 |

| sebsebseb | Kewldude: the desktop version? | 04:09 |
| infomomo | Joker_-_: LTS? | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: since you got 8.04 KDE3 is also an option in the repo/ubuntudownloadservers :) | 04:10 |
| assmonger | if df is showing 0 free space, but i can only account for a small amount of space used by sudo du -h where should i look for the used space? | 04:10 |
| Joker_-_ | infomomo: Long Term Support | 04:10 |
| Kewldude | no joker i screwed that up was thinking of something else | 04:10 |
| infomomo | Joker_-_: thanks | 04:10 |
| Joker_-_ | Kewldude: yeah I know ;) | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: instead of just KDE4 which is the case iwth 8.10 and 9.04, like Xubuntu/XFCE they are desktoip environments. differnet desktops and such | 04:10 |
| Im_Toast | Long Term Support | 04:10 |
| Im_Toast | oops | 04:11 |
| Kewldude | well i want to fully understand this system altogether like i know dos and windows products in and out but this one is weird to me so trying to figure out alot of stuff on here | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: ok well | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: loads of good stuff to install :) you just need to know what to install | 04:12 |
| hinkley | Kewldude: i tell ya man its GOLD | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: and how | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: I just told a guy on instant messenger, about quite a few good things to install into 8.04 :) | 04:13 |
| hinkley | i am contemplating unistalling Vista... and making this my Perminant OP - i am running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine ATM in VMWare... | 04:14 |
| Kewldude | well i want to make it secure, setup as a server for my laptops to have access to the internet, and the other project is to use nocat software to setup a wireless wifi | 04:14 |
| botux | sebsebseb: i did make some shared folders in vista | 04:14 |
| LargePrime | greetings all! i went to www.asciisector.net and downloaded the game. unpacked it. i double clicked on the "executable." No fun ensued. what did i do wrong? | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: well it is pretty secure by default, with a hardware firewall and no stupid Ubuntu passwords such as 123 | 04:15 |
| hinkley | ubuntu doesnt use .exe u need Wine to use windows Software. | 04:15 |
| mimiloon | can anyone help me plz? i have a small problem with my wifi card; it works but not to it's full potential. it's atheros N series (AR5008 (AR5416)). it doesn't use the N protocol in ubuntu 8.1, any thought of getting this to improve? i have the drivers from windows but when i installed the drivers using ndiswrapper (GUI), it say the hardware is present but i can't activate it. also, i have another wifi card built in the laptop (ABG) | 04:15 |
| Sketch_ | i'm having an issue with my screen resolution. my monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080, yet ubuntu insists on stretching half of the screen area beyond the visible edge of my screen. | 04:15 |
| sebsebseb | hinkley: Windows software ha ha | 04:15 |
| sebsebseb | hinkley: most of it is rubbish anyway | 04:16 |
| hinkley | yeah Ns... | 04:16 |
| Kewldude | ok the router i have is a linksys but when i use it i have problems connecting through the laptops | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | hinkley: ,but yes Wine, or you can run Windows inside a virtual machine inside Ubuntu, fine for everything excpet 3D games and such | 04:16 |
| hinkley | LargePrime: Wanted to know... | 04:16 |
| === dave_ is now known as AK_Dave | ||
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: I am not really the person to get wireless help from, but stick around and their wiil be others | 04:16 |
| arkanabar | I will not talk smack about Vista. I will not talk smack about XP. I will not talk smack about Win2k. | 04:17 |
| LargePrime | hinkley: I downloaded the linux package | 04:17 |
| Kewldude | ok what other kewl stuff should i get on here, not to worried bout this desktop as it is a project lol | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | so if I am correct their are at least two guys here right now, that would like to know what to intall in a clean Ubuntu install? | 04:18 |
| arkanabar | Kewldude: What do you want to do? | 04:18 |
| hinkley | Oh. | 04:18 |
| AK_Dave | what kind of wifi help? | 04:18 |
| arkanabar | Heck, I'd like a list for a minimal install. | 04:18 |
| ossud | hi! | 04:18 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: how can I explan this, there are loads of differnet desktops to choose from with Desktop Linux, to name a few, Gnome, KDE, and XFCE | 04:18 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: at the moment your using Gnome | 04:18 |
| Kewldude | make it a server for my other 2 laptops running windows | 04:19 |
| botux | those are te best 3 | 04:19 |
| AK_Dave | minimum server, desktop, netbook ... ??? | 04:19 |
| * arkanabar is a minimalist, and plans to start from the minimal CD, and use LXDE. | 04:19 | |
| Kewldude | using gnome yes | 04:19 |
| AK_Dave | Ahh... THAT sort of minimal. Have you considered fvwm? | 04:19 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: and since your on 8.04 you can get the older and very stable, because it's been around for years, KDE3, which sadly is no longer developed. as well as the newer KDE4 which is only in the download servers for later ubuntu's | 04:19 |
| * AK_Dave suggests openbox | 04:20 | |
| arkanabar | Kewldude: You have options. Your server need not even have a monitor or keyboard; you could use your laptops & ssh to log into and control it. | 04:20 |
| hinkley | PuTTY :D | 04:20 |
| ossud | i'm interested in compiling software packages (not just my own) for the ubuntu repository! how can i put my debs in the universe repo? | 04:20 |
| Sketch_ | has anyone here ever had to correct a screen resolution issue? | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: and KDE will give you nice apps such as K3B for CD and DVD burning. Konqueror as a file manager and browser, Konversation I think is part of it to, a good IRC client. the Amarok music player which is ok, but I would use Banshee and VLC for video. and to play music in Banshee. | 04:21 |
| Kewldude | ok well i tried to use a wireless router to it arkana but when i hook it up i have problems connecting to it with the laptop for internet | 04:21 |
| arkanabar | AK_Dave: I hadn't; I like Openbox b/c it's supposed to be code-compliant first. | 04:21 |
| AK_Dave | Kewldude: It is convenient, though not strictly necessary, to temporarily attach a keyboard and monitor to a server while you get things set up. But this, again, can be done remotely. | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: Open Office is default in Ubuntu, but KOffice, Abiword, and Gnumeric are also nice. and you will need to install MP3 suppourt and AVI suppourt if you want such things | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: and you probably need to install Flash as well | 04:22 |
| Kewldude | ok | 04:22 |
| JEEBcz | sebsebseb, why not go for smplayer for video? You get better ASS support and overall less borking files on the .mp4 / .mkv sector | 04:22 |
| ossud | can someone point me in the right direction? | 04:23 |
| * AK_Dave points right | 04:23 | |
| sebsebseb | Kewldude: and their are games and thousands of packages you can get just like that, using the command line with sudo apt-get install programname or the graphical Synaptic package manager system > administaration > syanptic package manager | 04:23 |
| disappearedng | Hey everyone I have a pdf that is in image format, is there anything good that can help me convert this to text pdf? | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: well mplayer is good as well I know | 04:23 |
| narothepharoh | whats a good app for ipod syncing | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | narothepharoh: Banshee | 04:23 |
| Kewldude | ya not into games just wireless usage | 04:23 |
| Kewldude | wifi mostly | 04:24 |
| AK_Dave | narothepharoah: depends on the ipod generation and what it was formatted on | 04:24 |
| LargePrime | I went to www.asciisector.net and downloaded the linux package. unpacked it. i double clicked on the "executable." No fun ensued. what did i do wrong? | 04:24 |
| botux | PlayOnLinux for games | 04:24 |
| AK_Dave | narothepharoah: banshee is usually good with windows-formatted ipods, but unless you have THE NEWEST banshee and libs the newest ipods can be problematic | 04:24 |
| botux | lets you play windows games | 04:25 |
| ossud | AK_Dave: do you know where i can put my .debs? | 04:25 |
| JEEBcz | sebsebseb, I just can't understand why people keep referring to VLC as if it's one of the best players *nix has :/ It's OK for a streaming platform, but the fact that the decoding on some files is much more broken than on mplayer kind of is... meh - also the fact that zgreg is doing patches for ASS subtitle rendering is always a good thing, since VLC seems to never render those right. | 04:25 |
| arkanabar | ossud: have you looked at http://www.canonical.com/partners | 04:25 |
| Burntresistor | im setting up wine for direct x and the site setup says the autodetect only will recognize 256mb of video memory | 04:25 |
| Burntresistor | http://www.unixmen.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=39:install-directx-90c-on-ubuntu-810-using-wine&catid=4:ubuntu&Itemid=7 | 04:25 |
| Sketch_ | my screen resolution is all jacked up, can anyone offer some advice? | 04:25 |
| Burntresistor | thats the guide im using | 04:25 |
| FloodBot1 | Burntresistor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: I guess since people are used to it from Windows, and it looks rather nice under Desktop GNU/Linux | 04:25 |
| Burntresistor | im not im asking a question | 04:25 |
| JEEBcz | sebsebseb, doesn't smplayer frontend for the mplayer look that good? | 04:26 |
| === nicholas is now known as Guest76436 | ||
| Kewldude | ok guys thanks for the tips i will check out a few things | 04:26 |
| LargePrime | sebsebseb: JEEBcz also VLC only implements open codecs | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: did I use smplyaer maybe at some stage, I use Banshee | 04:26 |
| === Guest76436 is now known as tacosarecool | ||
| gwennn | sebsebseb : mplayer is the best! | 04:27 |
| ossud | arkanabar: i don't know what to look for on this site | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | !best | gwennn | 04:27 |
| ubottu | gwennn: 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. | 04:27 |
| Sketch_ | anybody know how to fix a screen resolution issue? | 04:27 |
| JEEBcz | LargePrime, unfortunately most of the stuff is packed and the stuff I encode is packed with non-free stuff... Theora is no way going to beat H.264 at the moment | 04:27 |
| AK_Dave | Sketch: boot text, no X, and sudo dpkg-reconfigure your xorg | 04:27 |
| narothepharoh | AK_Dave: what do you reccomend? | 04:27 |
| === Novi is now known as cow-sendirian | ||
| JEEBcz | (especially with the open source x264 encoder :3) | 04:27 |
| Sketch_ | AK_Dave: how do i do that? | 04:27 |
| Burntresistor | im trying to setup direct x im new this is the only guide i could find | 04:28 |
| botux | sebsebseb: i created shared folders in vista | 04:28 |
| gwennn | there is a good how to install on the jaunty forum | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | LargePrime: JEEBcz not even heard of that one it seems | 04:28 |
| arkanabar | ossud: It was just a guess as to where you could start, as you're looking for upload access to the repos. | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | botux: not done enough with Samba, and it's late here, bed soon as a result, these other guys should be able to help you | 04:28 |
| botux | sebebseb: its cool | 04:29 |
| ossud | this would be a long way to the repo don't you think? | 04:29 |
| botux | can anyone assist me with samba | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | botux: good luck | 04:29 |
| LargePrime | question. I went to www.asciisector.net and downloaded the linux package. unpacked it. i double clicked on the "executable." No fun ensued. what did i do wrong? | 04:29 |
| JEEBcz | sebsebseb, too bad debian/ubuntu kind of always have old revisions of x264 / mplayer even though there are definite changes done on both and feature growth is pretty good. | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: yeah well they do security updates only, and PPA's for later stuff, or find a DEB, or compile from source | 04:30 |
| botux | sebsebseb: thanks i appreciate all the help you have given me | 04:30 |
| JEEBcz | haha, the x264 package for ubuntu 8.10 was the one that killed me, though :/ Wasn't updated at all from April 2008 | 04:30 |
| JEEBcz | (and the build-dep never got fixed before jaunty) | 04:31 |
| arkanabar | ossud: can only suggest you google Ubuntu community repository and see what you find. | 04:31 |
| infomomo | how to make sure nobody can edit my grub at start up ? | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: well I want to go to bed soon, and I am not quite following all of this anyway, as in understanding, plus it's off topic, so I guess convo over, unless you want to conclude it with something | 04:32 |
| ossud | arkanabar: i found out that i could try to become a motu but my programs are too crappy ... | 04:32 |
| XPS_M1330 | what's the command to install a public key? | 04:32 |
| XPS_M1330 | Reading package lists... Done | 04:32 |
| XPS_M1330 | W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9423A34CCA967634 | 04:32 |
| JEEBcz | sebastien, I agree it's a bit offtopic :) I just wanted to point out why VLC gets so much attention although it has so many bugs when people ask for a media player :) | 04:32 |
| _Brun0_ | does ubuntu alternate install comes with nano? | 04:32 |
| JEEBcz | Therefore I guess I'll end the offtopic here ;) | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: now I remember VLC is already outdated for jaunty, I was in +1 and the maintainer for the PPA was saying about something | 04:33 |
| disappearedng | Hey everyone i have a .deb file that I want to install but then it says that I have dependency not satisfiable libglib1.2 whereas i have installed libglib2.0 what do I do ? | 04:33 |
| LargePrime | heh freed my jews | 04:34 |
| crdlb | disappearedng: what is it? | 04:34 |
| ossud | @ some expert: do i have to contribute my own program to do motuy stuff?? | 04:34 |
| JEEBcz | sebsebseb, that's probably just the top of the iceberg. And IIRC even the newest versions don't fix some stuff that's really weirdly broken on some files. But anyways, offtopic and I don't want you to have a sleeping pattern like I just had ;) | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: ah yes bad sleeping patterns, I had that for ages, but been changing things more the last two weeks | 04:35 |
| disappearedng | crdlb: it's pcmanx | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | JEEBcz: partern like you just had? | 04:35 |
| disappearedng | crdlb: I can't install it either through apt-get why? | 04:35 |
| arkanabar | disappearedng: there were many many changes b/n those two versions. I don't know if you can have both libglib1.2 & 2.0. | 04:35 |
| crdlb | disappearedng: pcmanx-gtk2 ? | 04:36 |

| arkanabar | psychic: no clue, don't have that problem myself. And I suspect their resources are far beyond your ability to strain. | 04:42 |
| psychic | maybe but if i dedicate a computer to it i might just be able to start some motion | 04:43 |

| Im_Toast | Lol, I was jk with you | 04:43 |

| psychic | problem is i dont know a thing about a bot net lol | 04:44 |
| AK_Dave | psychic: and thats a good thing | 04:44 |
| psywiped | i just kind of need to know how to frase the question | 04:45 |
| AK_Dave | Im_Toast: 1) sounds like you're loading the wrong kernel module, 2) sounds like an acpi problem | 04:45 |
| psywiped | cant find what im looking for in the forums with the search string | 04:45 |
| psychic | its no better than bot net designers knowing how to build them to ruin a fine chat utility | 04:46 |
| Im_Toast | AK_Dave: How would I go about trying to A. see if that's the problem B. fix it lol | 04:46 |

| vitaliy_ | hey guys does anyone have any problems with youtube cuz when i make the screen bigger the video is bad | 04:50 |
| arkanabar | psychic: I don't know if that'd be enough. You'd need an internet backbone for your ISP. | 04:51 |
| psychic | so whats that require how much bandwith | 04:51 |
| arkanabar | and if you *did* hit the porn spammers that hard in Yahoo!, it would probably count as a DOS attack. | 04:51 |

| psywiped | is there a channel for ubuntu server questions? | 04:57 |
| AK_Dave | Mewtwo: very easy, and good documentation for Virtualbox. Short answer: open Virtualbox, select guest, select Shared Folders, find the folder, set up the share. From the guest, depends on the guest OS. But its the same as adding a samba drive. | 04:57 |
| arkanabar | psychic: search wikipedia for botnet | 04:58 |
| arkanabar | it'll give you some theory on how that sort of thing works. | 04:58 |
| arkanabar | it's way OT for this channel. | 04:58 |
| AK_Dave | Mewtwo: windows guest, go to My Computer, open Folders sidebar, select Network, and open [+] until you see the share you created | 04:58 |
| AK_Dave | Mewtwo: then R-click to "map network drive" | 04:58 |

| arkanabar | napzter: sounds like you don't have the proper USB drivers in linux. | 05:09 |
| psychic | why is that that its so immune is it because of the popularity of windows or just windows is realy very much popular because | 05:10 |
| Kesman | ltgg: insert dvd, wait for brasero to start, figure out | 05:10 |
| arkanabar | ltgg: start up brasero. interface is very simple and nice. | 05:10 |
| napzter | yah i think so..... arkanabar ... Im using Interpid Ibex ..... | 05:10 |
| mahiti-irc | Hi All | 05:10 |
| Kesman | psychic: what is vulnerable? windows? it's because it allows non-administrators to install software | 05:10 |
| mahiti-irc | for QuadCore server which ubuntu distro is preferred? | 05:10 |
| trancefat | i can come later if everyone s busy | 05:10 |

| Kesman | indian_munnda: install vlc player from add/reove programs, start it and then open the file | 05:11 |
| Kesman | psychic: among many others.. | 05:11 |

| arkanabar | indian_munnda: Have you enabled the nonfree repos and gotten the nonfree codecs? | 05:12 |
| Mewtwo | Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations. | 05:12 |
| indian_munnda | Kesman: it doesn't shows anything. | 05:13 |
| indian_munnda | Kesman: actually it doesn't starts | 05:13 |
| Kesman | indian_munnda: enable non-free repositories and install extra codecs | 05:13 |
| indian_munnda | arkanabar: i think i have. | 05:13 |
| Kesman | indian_munnda: id you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 05:14 |
| kimws1901_ | hello | 05:14 |
| indian_munnda | Kesman: when i rtun this file in windows it demands DRM identifier when i click ok nothing happens | 05:14 |
| === emily is now known as Guest44473 | ||
| arkanabar | indian_munnda: linux in general does not support drm of any sort. | 05:14 |
| indian_munnda | arkanabar: so the file won't run in ubuntu? | 05:15 |
| WickedBallistix | I recently moved my windows partition to another hard drive. Does anyone know how to get GRUB to recognize the move? | 05:15 |
| AK_Dave | digital rights mutilation | 05:15 |
| === Novi is now known as PUTRI_CUTE | ||
| indian_munnda | Kesman: i think i haven't install that | 05:16 |
| Kesman | indian_munnda: well try to install it first, but I don't think ubuntu supports drm very well... | 05:16 |
| arkanabar | indian_munnda: probably not. DRM is the antithesis of the freedom that is built into all GNU software. | 05:16 |
| Kesman | indian_munnda: if it's an audio file, get an mp3 version of it from somewhere else.. | 05:16 |
| psywiped | WickedBallistix, read the gentoo instal info it tells how grub works | 05:16 |
| thrillERboy | hi guys.... I've installed ubuntu using wubi. I've just 10 GBs allotted to it. Now I want to download something from ubuntu, but there is not enough space in the home folder. Can I download this to windows partition from ubuntu without any problems? | 05:16 |
| psywiped | thrillERboy, yea look in the root folder should be one that says host thats your windows drive | 05:17 |
| WickedBallistix | psywiped: thanks, I'll look =) | 05:17 |
| indian_munnda | Kesman: is there any converter, from which i can convert this file into another format | 05:17 |
| indian_munnda | Kesman: its a video file | 05:17 |
| thrillERboy | psywiped, lemme check :) | 05:18 |
| === xelpud is now known as fduplex | ||
| psywiped | indian_munnda, what format to what format | 05:18 |
| arkanabar | indian_munnda: DRM is meant to absolutely prevent that sort of behavior. | 05:18 |
| === ttuttle|fsck is now known as ttuttle|fscked | ||
| indian_munnda | psywiped: wmv to any | 05:18 |
| psywiped | is the wmv drm? | 05:18 |
| indian_munnda | arkanabar: u mean i even can't convert it | 05:18 |
| amazing | \ident | 05:18 |
| indian_munnda | psywiped: ya | 05:18 |
| arkanabar | indian_munnda: that's the whole point of DRM, to prevent you from doing what you want. | 05:19 |
| indian_munnda | arkanabar: ooooo | 05:19 |
| arkanabar | no copying, and all too often, no playing. | 05:19 |
| indian_munnda | arkanabar: so is there anyother solution | 05:19 |

| evilaim | mint, what OS? | 05:24 |

| mint_usr_ | it works without local disk plugged | 05:26 |
| thrillERboy | thanks Kesman :) | 05:26 |
| mint_usr_ | but when i put my laptop disk again | 05:26 |
| cemc | I've just upgraded from 2gb to 4gb RAM in my laptop, using ubuntu 8.10, 64bits, and I'm missinig some RAM (around ~200MB). Any ideas? | 05:26 |
| psywiped | Kesman, he installed with wubi and only has 10gb | 05:26 |
| mint_usr_ | the external one is renamed sdb | 05:26 |

| evilaim | psy, you forget -t ext3 or whatever the file system is... | 05:52 |
| Tefad | someone should update https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2009-March/000119.html | 05:53 |
| Tefad | though i guess that's an archive eh | 05:53 |
| Tefad | ; ) | 05:53 |
| psywiped | yea im using the gentoo stuff | 05:53 |
| unop | omniter, maybe the extensions were placed in root's ~/.nautilus directory ? | 05:53 |
| omniter | unop, ohhhhh... let me see :) | 05:53 |
| evilaim | charles, and what you want is in "system" - "Preferences" - "Appereance" | 05:53 |
| psywiped | but were not trying to add it to fstab | 05:53 |
| unop | omniter, that, or the extensions are not readable by you. | 05:53 |
| Tefad | toodles. | 05:53 |
| evilaim | then go to the tab "Visual Effects" | 05:53 |
| omniter | why wouldn't they be? | 05:53 |
| evilaim | if that doesn't work, then your video card isn't installed. | 05:54 |
| unop | omniter, dunno, maybe you saved them when logged on as the superuser .. | 05:54 |
| napzter | psywiped: mount: mount point /mnt/externalA does not exist | 05:54 |
| evilaim | napz, sudo mkdir /mnt/externalA | 05:54 |
| commander_ | can i sync my blackberry w/ubuntu 9.04? | 05:54 |
| omniter | unop, but the Scripts extension itself doesn't show up | 05:54 |
| evilaim | then try it again | 05:54 |
| cdavis | one of my my boxes I am missing the /etc/printcap file. How do I cause cups to recreate this file? | 05:54 |
| napzter | psywiped: mount: mount point /mnt/externalA does not exist | 05:54 |
| psywiped | napzter, sudo mkdir /mnt/ExternalA | 05:54 |
| omniter | i haven't made any scripts yet | 05:54 |
| evilaim | napz, and I don't suggest you put a capital letter in it... | 05:55 |
| evilaim | I usually just use /media/disk | 05:55 |
| evilaim | easy to navigate to and all that... | 05:55 |
| psywiped | oooo that is better | 05:55 |
| unop | omniter, i'm hazarding a guess here .. if there are no extensions to use, then maybe the option doesn't either. | 05:55 |
| psywiped | yea | 05:55 |
| psywiped | sudo mkdir /media/ntfsdisk | 05:55 |
| psywiped | sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/ntfsdisk | 05:56 |
| omniter | unop, but it does show up in gksu | 05:56 |
| omniter | anyway, what would cause something to be installed for root only? | 05:56 |
| omniter | i mean... i install everything the same way | 05:56 |
| unop | omniter, like i already said .. that might be because the extensions are not in your home dir, but in root's .. or the extensions are not readable by you | 05:56 |
| omniter | why would it end up under root and not my profile? | 05:56 |
| napzter | psywiped: I looked under mnt folder and externalA and see nothing | 05:56 |
| psywiped | napzter, you have to mount it | 05:57 |
| unop | omniter, find out. look in /root/.gnome2/nautilus or /root/.nautilus | 05:57 |
| omniter | ah you were right | 05:59 |
| psywiped | almost time for woot! | 05:59 |
| omniter | the extension's not there | 05:59 |
| omniter | :D | 05:59 |
| psywiped | one min | 05:59 |
| omniter | i mean the script | 05:59 |
| omniter | it's only in root | 05:59 |
| omniter | but how did it end up there in the first place? =\ | 05:59 |
| unop | that's a million dollar question | 05:59 |
| psywiped | Apple 8GB 4th Generation iPod Nano @ woot.com | 06:00 |
| psywiped | everyone go and spam the forum not to buy because of it being so full of drm | 06:00 |
| omniter | i always install things with synaptic or apt... and i'm always logged on to the same user... why would it put some things under root and not others? | 06:01 |
| fbc-mx | Hi hi! Could someone tell me why might be a reason that my full screen games are going back to windowed after a while even after I have the power inhibit applet on NO DOZE? | 06:01 |
| evilaim | psy, I'm anti-apple anyways. | 06:01 |
| === mike is now known as Guest67046 | ||
| Guest67046 | \server irc.efnet.ch | 06:01 |
| fbc-mx | evilaim, anti apple? how? it has a linux base. | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | omniter: are those things under /root or /sbin and /usr/sbin? | 06:01 |
| psywiped | f no it has a unix base | 06:01 |
| fbc-mx | psywiped, close enough. | 06:02 |
| unop | fbc-mx, erm? linux base? | 06:02 |
| psywiped | anyways the ipod cant play ogg or flac | 06:02 |
| psywiped | and you have to use a program to manage it | 06:02 |
| omniter | lstarnes, i think usr/bin | 06:02 |
| evilaim | what? | 06:02 |
| evilaim | apple isn't linux based.. | 06:02 |
| psywiped | and unix is not open source | 06:02 |
| evilaim | it's based off the fbsd kernel... | 06:02 |
| AK_Dave | some ipods can run linux | 06:02 |
| lstarnes | omniter: in that case all users should be able to see it | 06:02 |
| fbc-mx | unop, yeah there'sa linux subsystem that the osx is built around. have you brough up a command line in osx lately? | 06:02 |
| lstarnes | psywiped: some variants are, like freebsd and opensolaris | 06:02 |
| psywiped | i think apple went to BSD in X | 06:03 |
| commander_ | can i sync a BB to here? | 06:03 |
| evilaim | apple sucks. | 06:03 |
| omniter | lstarnes, but some of them are obviously being installed to root, but hte question is why | 06:03 |
| unop | fbc-mx, that's darwin, nothing to do with linux .. it's a nextOS/freebsd derivative | 06:03 |
| evilaim | I'll give them cred for hardware, but everything else is brutal. | 06:03 |
| psywiped | not the g4 nano it was encripted to prevent just that | 06:03 |
| commander_ | e u got tht right | 06:03 |
| napzter | psywiped: check this out psy, this is the output of mounting my hardisk = http://paste.ubuntu.com/147427/ | 06:03 |
| evilaim | *YAWN* | 06:03 |
| fbc-mx | unop, its a *nix.. close enough... sure, there are some structural differences, but the premise is the same. | 06:04 |
| evilaim | I can't believe I have a date at 11:30 PM... | 06:04 |
| Omar87 | I have a problem with upgrades, every time I try to start upgrading my system, first it tells me that Not all updates can be installed for some reason, so I can only do a partial upgrade, and then it tells me there's a problem authenticating the list of upgrades, which aborts the upgrade. What can I do about that? | 06:04 |
| evilaim | I better be gettin' some action for this... | 06:04 |
| evilaim | I have to work at 6 am... | 06:04 |
| unop | fbc-mx, not really .. the darwin/BSD kernel is nothing like the linux kernel | 06:04 |
| psywiped | napzter, connect it to your windows computer and before disconnecting right click the drive and hit safe remove or eject or somthing like that | 06:04 |
| evilaim | Omar, it's saying some updates/upgrades aren't for you setup. | 06:04 |
| psywiped | or copy line 12 | 06:04 |
| evilaim | they aren't going to install, it's a good thing. | 06:05 |
| unop | fbc-mx, and the BSD userland is nothing like the GNU userland too | 06:05 |
| psywiped | yep napzter this will work 2 mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ExternalA/ -o force | 06:05 |
| Omar87 | evilaim: So how do I dismiss them? | 06:05 |
| evilaim | sudo apt-get update && upgrade | 06:05 |
| psywiped | but its better to let windows clean it up first | 06:06 |
| Omar87 | evilaim: Thanks. | 06:06 |
| unop | bash: upgrade: command not found | 06:06 |
| evilaim | haha | 06:06 |
| evilaim | one at a time champ | 06:06 |
| fbc-mx | unop, really I find them both pretty much the same.. what are the differences between gnu userland and the bsd userland? I know desktopBSD is trying to mimic ubuntu's success, but that's about it. | 06:06 |
| psywiped | unop try sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:06 |
| unop | psywiped, s/apt-get/aptitude/ | 06:06 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | ever since I updated to ubuntu 8.04 I can't see my windows network computers | 06:06 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | is there a bug? | 06:07 |
| psywiped | wha? | 06:07 |
| evilaim | U-b-u-n-t-u: check your fstab | 06:07 |
| evilaim | see if they're still listed in there. | 06:07 |
| mattparry | Hi! My splash screen is disapearing - any pointers to get it back? | 06:07 |
| psywiped | moo? | 06:07 |
| cdavis | I did not add cups when I install intrepid server and I now need to print. What do I need to do to make cups work, apt-get install cups just doesn't work right? lpr failes, printcap files aren't created, etc.? | 06:07 |
| evilaim | cluck? | 06:07 |
| evilaim | crap, I gotta bounce. | 06:07 |
| evilaim | Talk to you all later, since I'm no longer going to be on efnet. | 06:07 |
| evilaim | haha | 06:07 |
| stealth- | cdavis: i think its sudo apt-get install cupsys | 06:07 |
| unop | fbc-mx, errm, i don't know where you heard this .. but that's not true .. desktopBSD uses gnome but that's the case with a lot of other *nix distros out there now | 06:07 |
| evilaim | you stick up for new users and you get banned, prolly for the better. | 06:07 |
| evilaim | cupsd | 06:08 |
| psywiped | cdavis, sudo apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client | 06:08 |
| evilaim | sudo apt-get install cupsd | 06:08 |
| evilaim | I believe | 06:08 |

| _Brun0_ | Whats the name of the sound volume slider in gnome? | 06:08 |
| oh_noes | How do I get what version of a package I have installed via CLI? | 06:09 |
| psywiped | _Brun0_, BoB | 06:09 |
| psywiped | oh_noes, magic | 06:09 |
| oh_noes | psywiped: huh | 06:09 |
| psywiped | oh_noes, more magic | 06:10 |
| _Brun0_ | psywiped, BoB? | 06:10 |
| oh_noes | I know the debian package name, I just want to know which version it is | 06:10 |
| unop | oh_noes, apt-cache policy $PACKAGE_NAME | 06:10 |
| fbc-mx | unop, Yeah, I installed it on a usb stick and test drove it for a while. Yeah it uses gnome, but I can't get used to the command line. I like my debian commands and having to learn somethign new was a bit frustrating. The farthest away from debina that I've ventured into is CentOS(redhat derivative). | 06:10 |
| _Brun0_ | Whats the bin name of the sound volume slider in gnome? | 06:10 |
| psywiped | centos is a big server install base | 06:10 |
| psywiped | its nice because it can take cpanel | 06:11 |
| unop | _Brun0_, gnome-volume-control perhaps | 06:11 |
| krammer_ | hello, do i need to port forward to use ssh | 06:11 |
| fbc-mx | psywiped, yeah which is why I set it up as a server for a rogram that required centos to run properly. | 06:11 |
| psywiped | krammer_, hua? | 06:11 |
| krammer_ | psywiped, do u use ssh | 06:12 |
| mattparry | Hi, my splash screen is disapearing, anyone know how to get it back? | 06:12 |
| psywiped | yea just not sure whats with the portfwording | 06:12 |
| psywiped | just change the port ssh uses | 06:12 |
| fbc-mx | Hi hi! Could someone tell me why might be a reason that my full screen games are going back to windowed after a while even after I have the power inhibit applet on NO DOZE? | 06:12 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | evilaim I sudo pico /etc/fstab and nothing is there | 06:12 |
| krammer_ | psywiped, ok, I have a router so usually like vnc i need to port forward | 06:12 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, gnome-volume-control fires a window, is there a way to tell it to get into tray? | 06:12 |
| airtonix | gnome-terminal question : how does one highlight existing text using the keyboard? | 06:13 |
| unop | _Brun0_, errm, not sure, I don't use gnome very much .. have a look at kmix if you want a tray based application | 06:13 |
| psywiped | krammer_, sounds more like a router question | 06:13 |
| psywiped | _Brun0_, try e17 for somthing diffrent | 06:14 |
| psywiped | that is a cool windows manager | 06:14 |
| psywiped | krammer_, http://techie-buzz.com/linux-tips/change-default-ssh-port-in-linux.html | 06:15 |
| krammer_ | ok thanks | 06:15 |
| _Brun0_ | psywiped, i want icewm because it flies and it's not fancy LOL. ty anyway | 06:15 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, kmix is kde? | 06:16 |
| psywiped | _Brun0_, e17 is uber fast | 06:16 |
| unop | _Brun0_, it's a KDE application, but it doesn't bring in too much | 06:16 |
| psywiped | and gives you nerd points | 06:16 |
| _Brun0_ | psywiped, icewm gives me hacker points | 06:16 |
| psywiped | ok ill give you that _Brun0_ | 06:17 |
| lstarnes | /23 | 06:17 |
| lstarnes | oops | 06:17 |
| JEEBcz | imho hacker points are overrated :3 | 06:17 |
| JEEBcz | you should just use what you are comfortable with | 06:17 |
| cdavis | psywiped, thanks, but how do I get lpr working/ | 06:17 |
| _Brun0_ | psywiped, ty for your attetnion nayway. | 06:17 |
| psywiped | but get enough nerd points you get a job get enough hacker point you get a 8x5 room | 06:17 |
| airtonix | gnome-terminal question : how does one highlight existing text using the keyboard? ctrl+shift+arrow keys print out non-sensical characters instead of highlighting blocks of text | 06:18 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, since i'll be using some gnome apps in icewm i'll try to never use kde at all. so my search for gnomes sound volume tray. | 06:18 |
| psywiped | cdavis, satanic riturals? | 06:18 |
| Mean_Admin | so I've ran smart long tests on my hdd and although the conclusion says 'no errors or no self-test ran', there still seems to be errors when I smartctl -a /dev/sda | 06:19 |
| _Brun0_ | anyone using gnome right now please tell me the name of the volume control tray icon.. right click it then click "about" or "help" | 06:19 |
| Mean_Admin | should I be worried or will the hdd firmwawre just skips what I think are bad sectors ? | 06:19 |
| psywiped | cdavis, what was the origanal question again? | 06:19 |
| palmje | airtonix: I dont think that there is a way (at least I don't know of any) | 06:19 |
| unop | _Brun0_, but I primarily choose GTK/GNOME applications but i use kmix on fluxbox .. I haven't found a suitable GTK tray based volume control ... yet | 06:19 |
| cdavis | psywiped, lol, thanks. I have cups installed now and can print a test page from the web:631, however lpr just won't work right. I added printcat /etc/printcap to cupsd.conf but it still won't print. in the past this has just worked out of box for me :( | 06:20 |
| airtonix | palmje, so the mouse cursor is the only way so far? | 06:20 |
| unop | _Brun0_, like i said .. installing kmix doesn't bring in all of KDE .. just the necessary libraries to get it running and that's not too much. | 06:20 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, hmm leme search what are its dependencies... | 06:20 |
| fbc-mx | cdavis, did you try the satanic rituals then? | 06:20 |
| palmje | airtonix: its the only way that I know of | 06:21 |
| _Brun0_ | OMG i'll have to boot my ubuntu live CD in virtualbox just to know the name of gnomes sound volume tray icon app name? Lol, ok | 06:21 |

| kb0odu | thrillERboy: kill -9 pid | 06:48 |
| kb0odu | sorry... | 06:48 |
| thrillERboy | np :) | 06:48 |
| beawesomeinstead | I have a relatively big music collection (~200CDs) in .wav disk image+cue format. Does anyone know if there any iTunes-like automatic organizers that support this format? | 06:48 |
| kb0odu | beawesomeinstead: Doesn't Audacious support that? | 06:49 |
| prohna | i have no sound, aplay -l says aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found... | 06:49 |
| thrillERboy | kb0odu, that didn't work | 06:50 |
| kb0odu | beawesomeinstead: That's just a guess. | 06:50 |
| sysdoc | beawesomeinstead, have you looked at Amaaarok? | 06:50 |
| sysdoc | Amarok,sorry | 06:50 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, I guess i'll skip volume controll in tray icon because I got it working from the keyboard. My laptop have volume control keys. I got it working for icewm by adding this to my ~/.icewm/keys: http://pastebin.com/m13950b82 | 06:51 |
| beawesomeinstead | sysdoc, kb0odu: not yet. i'll check it out, thanks! | 06:51 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, might be usefull to you. | 06:51 |
| kb0odu | beawesomeinstead: I want to say there's a plug-in...not part of the normal install. But, I'm not positive that it supports WAV other than that. | 06:51 |
| sysdoc | beardedninja, see Audacity to tweak the tunage | 06:51 |
| unop | _Brun0_, yea, i've got similar keybindings in fluxbox for my desktop .. but my netbook doesn't have seperate volume keys - that's why i went for kmix on it. | 06:52 |
| sysdoc | beawesomeinstead, Don't let yea ears bleed | 06:52 |
| beawesomeinstead | :-) | 06:52 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, i wish I could have the volume status drawn on to the screen when I change it as it happens in gnome. =( | 06:53 |
| beawesomeinstead | there's an option to install foobak2k using wine | 06:53 |
| unop | _Brun0_, you can get osd_cat to draw text on the screen .. you'll have to whip up a script that gets the current volume level and pipe that to it. | 06:54 |
| sysdoc | BTW new group called Chickenfoot with Sammy Hagar, Micheal Anthony and Joe Satriani. See Chickenfoot.us...:) | 06:54 |
| macvr | hi all... is there a way to play/pause streaming divX videos? the totem firefox plugin once paused doesnt load the video and doesnt have a position seaker... | 06:55 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, ty alot for the info! I'll try that! And, as you said this confirmed kmix is somewhat light: sudo apt-cache depends kmix | 06:55 |
| hateball | macvr: You could try installing the mozilla vlc plugin | 06:57 |
| macvr | hateball: i'v installed that but firefox seems to use only the totem plugin... tried disabling the plugin to use the vlc plugin but then the video wouldnt load!!! | 06:57 |
| hateball | macvr: Have you tried playing the url directly in VLC? | 06:58 |
| macvr | hateball: ?? didnt try that but how do i do it? | 06:58 |
| hateball | macvr: Well either you find out the URL for the video by looking at the page source, or you could use a firefox extension called MediaPlayerConnectivity | 06:59 |
| macvr | hateball: ok... i'll try tht | 06:59 |
| hateball | macvr: The latter one lets you click all media on a page, and choose which external player to view it in | 07:00 |
| hateball | macvr: effectively also stops stuff from autoplaying, much like flashblock | 07:00 |

| anthony | nvidia | 07:08 |
| sysdoc | anthony, you have to run it as root | 07:08 |
| quantum | hi | 07:08 |
| unop | mfhg, tee will display the output... | 07:08 |
| anthony | root is ./ correct? | 07:09 |
| JumboJellyfish | anthony, try getting enVy | 07:09 |
| JumboJellyfish | that worked for me | 07:09 |
| macvr | hateball: i tried to paste the url in the open network option of vlc... but doesnt work... how does divX work for u? | 07:09 |
| Chr|s | enVy is last resort tho | 07:09 |
| sysdoc | anthony, no "sudo" | 07:09 |

| lstarnes | anthony: sudo is sudo, the utility used for running things as another user, usually as root | 07:11 |
| anthony | Failed to open existing X config file '/sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings'! | 07:11 |
| lstarnes | anthony: in ubuntu, users in the admin group are the only ones with access to it | 07:11 |

| lstarnes | anthony: /usr/bin/nvidia-settings is a command, NOT an X config file | 07:12 |
| lstarnes | anthony: look around /etc/X11 for xorg.conf | 07:12 |
| JumboJellyfish | does anone know how i go about connecting to wifi router through bash? (by mistake uninstalled kdm) | 07:13 |

| neeto | I dunno if this is the right place to ask this, but I am trying to use ushare with my xbox 360. My xbox doesn't find ushare running on my computer. The xbox and my computer have the same subnet. UPnP is enabled on my router however no leases are being taken out by the xbox or ushare. I'm stuck because there's no way to actually troubleshoot a problem on the xbox, it works or it doesn't. Does anyone have experience with this? | 07:17 |
| K_O_D | same as I would in windoze? | 07:17 |
| K_O_D | (possibly better) | 07:17 |
| MTec007 | i have a question about iptables do they work as a software firewall? | 07:18 |
| K_O_D | I put a new cooling setup in and it appears to work far better than stock | 07:18 |
| knoxville | neeto, yes I have a post on my forum www.crazysmarts.com | 07:18 |
| neeto | knoxville: could you give me a direct link? | 07:18 |
| knoxville | hold on | 07:19 |
| K_O_D | I installed that stress package and lm-sensors/sensors-applet, im at 100% cpu stress and 44/43 on two overclocked cores | 07:19 |

| macvr | hateball: i got it working by removing the totem plugin and installing the mplayer plugin... | 07:19 |
| neeto | knoxville: thanks | 07:19 |
| Noisia | Mtec007: in a nutshell, yes. | 07:19 |
| knoxville | neeto, let me know if it helps | 07:20 |
| JumboJellyfish | i by mistake uninstalled kdm, and i need to connect to a WEP encrypted wifi network through bash... how do i do this??? | 07:20 |
| MTec007 | ok i am not new to using linux but i am not very experienced with it. how would i set up the iptables to work as a firewall. no servers on my laptop, no reason for any one to connect to me | 07:21 |
| K_O_D | anyhow if temp sensors are working properly in ubuntu 8.10, im doing very well temp-wise, far better than I would have expected | 07:21 |

| MTec007 | thats ok i just wanted a good reference for this topic and i thought this would be the best place to find it | 07:24 |
| neeto | knoxville: doesn't seem to be working immediately, should the subnet matter when you're adding the route, or is it arbitrary? | 07:24 |

| knoxville | neeto, yeah I think you'll need to add your route correctly, -net will be your IP address of the xbox I believe and netmask will be 255.255.255.0 most likely | 07:26 |
| jigp | mirror file blah blah is not working | 07:26 |

| Hassanakevazir | sketchykid, sudo apt-get install vlc , then use vlc to play your dvd | 07:33 |
| neeto | knoxville: which is frustrating, since that is indeed the netmask my xbox is using | 07:33 |
| jigp | unop : I just type lftp host -u user.pass | 07:34 |

| Ecnerifed | i need to set up a few workstations with nothing but firefox and the abilty to lock and login screen that authenticates with an ms active directory server, what would be the best way to go about this? | 07:37 |
| unop | _Brun0_, you can use startx(1) .. you might have to setup your ~/.xinitrc for icewm tho | 07:37 |
| k1en | unop, i need to go,thank you for your help, i will try again later | 07:37 |
| AK_Dave | dlozarie: just partition it as /dev/sda6 and mount it seperately. No prob. | 07:37 |
| unop | k1en, very strange indeed | 07:37 |
| dayo | Hassanakevazir: u know how when u're halfway thru a movie, u pause and maybe want to scroll back 10-20minutes. totem freezes. kaffeine doesn't do that. i love it. | 07:37 |
| Hassanakevazir | dayo, yeah you can do that too, but you have to do this huge KDE download which | 07:38 |
| k1en | unop, i saw similar problems on the forum but no solutions yet | 07:38 |
| dayo | Hassanakevazir: kaffeine is way more stable in it's performance than totem | 07:38 |
| k1en | unop, thanks anyway | 07:38 |
| dayo | Hassanakevazir: yeah, but i'm willing to put up with that. rather than going full kde. it's gnome for this ubuntunista here :-) | 07:39 |
| Hassanakevazir | dayo, try mplayer or vlc, totem is awful no mistake about that. but kaffeine is not gtk, so it might be slower or not integrate well into gnome | 07:39 |
| dayo | i love you, gnome. | 07:39 |
| dlozarie | AK_Dave: the 4GB space isn't formatted yet, and Qparted won't let me format :-/ | 07:39 |
| * dayo hugs his gnome | 07:39 | |
| unop | _Brun0_, http://www.icewm.org/FAQ/IceWM-FAQ-3.html shows how to create your xinitrc | 07:39 |

| AK_Dave | dlozarie: lemme guess: the 4gb unallocated space is wedged between /sda3 and the start of the extended partitions. | 07:40 |
| unop | _Brun0_, you want to autologin without GDM ? | 07:40 |
| dayo | Hassanakevazir: it's worked brilliantly so far, but i'll try vlc and mplayer for comparison | 07:40 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, =P yep | 07:40 |
| unop | _Brun0_, yea, you'll need rungetty - as per the howto there | 07:40 |
| dlozarie | AK_Dave: not really sure, LOL. doesn't look like it though. should I upload a screencap? | 07:41 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, is that a good practice? | 07:41 |

| sauvin | livingdaylight, which version? | 07:42 |
| unop | _Brun0_, well, any autologin is relatively insecure .. but that depends on how accessible your machine is or perhaps who it is accessible to. it depends really ... | 07:42 |
| livingdaylight | All too often when i launch Last.fm for eg (i did just now) i get Alsa soundsystem either busy or something | 07:42 |
| Ecnerifed | have to close all applications that could use sound and then open the one i want to use and most of the time that works | 07:42 |
| sauvin | livingdaylight, which version of ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| livingdaylight | sauvin, 8.10 | 07:42 |
| unop | _Brun0_, I don't use it .. but then again, I very rarely log on manually | 07:42 |
| * sauvin had Issues with 8.10 | 07:43 | |
| dlozarie | AK_Dave: here it is http://i39.tinypic.com/2exaiwy.png :) | 07:43 |
| Ecnerifed | I need to set up a few workstations with nothing but firefox and the abilty to lock with a login screen that authenticates with an ms active directory server, what would be the best way to go about this? | 07:43 |
| livingdaylight | saulus_, means everytime i need to reboot, then ikt works but later on i 'll geet error message again and will have to reboot yet again - its very annoying | 07:43 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, i don't care about security at all. i don't need thta level of security. but, i'd liek to know if it can cause some instability or unpredicted behavior. | 07:44 |
| unop | _Brun0_, i don't see any negative consequences arising from this | 07:44 |
| livingdaylight | saulus_, " The ALSA soundsystem is either busy or not present. " | 07:44 |
| AK_Dave | dlozarie: you can only add the free space to an adjacent partition | 07:44 |
| livingdaylight | what is it busy with or where did it go? | 07:45 |
| antifat | hello, i was wondering if i could get some help for a wireless card troubleshooting, it connects, but its rediculously slow | 07:45 |
| dlozarie | AK_Dave: oh, i see. hmm. | 07:45 |
| _Brun0_ | unop, ty. right now i'm installing ubuntu alternative and i'll set up icewm in it. i'm documenting the whole process into an abiword doc. =P | 07:46 |

| napzter | guys how can i be a root... without entering in the terminal "sudo su -" | 07:46 |
| napzter | guys how can i be a root... without entering in the terminal "sudo su -"? | 07:46 |
| livingdaylight | sauvin, are you thinking of me or are you having breakfast? :) | 07:46 |
| AK_Dave | dlozarie: what you COULD do, if you have lots of time to wait for this to happen, in theory, is add the 4gb to an adjacent partition and then shift the space in 4gb increments until you get it to the partition you want it. Like a giant shell game. | 07:47 |
| c0mp13371331337 | napzter: Alt+F2, then type 'gksu gnome-terminal' | 07:47 |
| c0mp13371331337 | napzter: Or create a desktop icon/menu shortcut with that command in it. | 07:47 |
| dlozarie | AK_Dave: Ah. I think I get what you mean.. lemme see. | 07:47 |
| Flannel | napzter: sudo -i | 07:48 |
| Flannel | napzter: but, why do you want to be root? | 07:48 |
| livingdaylight | Flannel, its fun being root | 07:48 |
| livingdaylight | you can do all kinds of things | 07:48 |
| airtonix | -50 dkp | 07:48 |
| napzter | no i mean without entering any command in the terminal... I think the second suggestion shoul do it...... any shortcut again? | 07:48 |
| Flannel | napzter: What are you trying to do? | 07:49 |
| sauvin | livingdaylight, I don't think it'd be particularly politic of me to answer directly or candidly what I think of 8.10 and the problems I had with its sound system. I reverted to 8.04. | 07:49 |
| dlozarie | AK_Dave: the 4GB portion's at the bottom of the list, right? so I'd move the 4gibs into /dev/sda2, but Qparted won't let me resize /dev/sda2 either | 07:49 |
| Ecnerifed | I need to set up a few workstations with nothing but firefox and the abilty to lock with a login screen that authenticates with an ms active directory server, what would be the best way to go about this? | 07:49 |

| _Brun0_ | napzter, root is the shortest path to chaos | 07:49 |
| napzter | nothing just want to create a folder in my external drive automatically | 07:49 |
| livingdaylight | sauvin, ahh... nuff said. Its as loud and clear as direct and candid can get ^^ | 07:49 |
| AK_Dave | dlozarie: probably because it is ntfs | 07:50 |
| napzter | _Brun0_: shortest path u mean... hmmmmmm ruin my linux | 07:50 |
| J-_ | How do I figure out a UUID of my swap partition? | 07:50 |
| dlozarie | AK_Dave: yeah, it is.. wonder why QParted won't let me format that 4GiB of unallocated space | 07:50 |
| sauvin | Without getting myself klined for truly Stygian display of Anglo-Saxon type of language, hee hee. | 07:50 |
| livingdaylight | sauvin, i'll grin it out and hope 9.04 is better- really sux though | 07:50 |
| maw | anyone have some suggestions to resolve "Grub Error 13: "Invalid or unsupported executable format"" | 07:50 |
| maw | I am dual booting XP and Ubuntu 8.10 | 07:51 |
| sauvin | As I understand it, PulseAudio uses Alsa as a backend. 8.10's implementation of PulseAudio wasn't thoroughly vetted. | 07:51 |
| unop | J-_, sudo blkid /dev/sdXX | 07:51 |
| J-_ | unop: Thanks, I'll give a go. | 07:51 |
| livingdaylight | sauvin, the wall of morbid silence at the question of a sound issue is very revealing... best not to mention any more | 07:52 |

| traskbt | I have to manually download and install Sun JDK/JRE and NetBeans if I want the latest, correct? | 07:52 |
| sauvin | Oh, I can talk about it - just not candidly :D | 07:52 |
| jove | hello, does anyone know how to extract .rar file ? | 07:52 |
| J-_ | unop: Is there usually a UUID of a swap partition? That just gives me, "/dev/sda1: TYPE="swap"" | 07:52 |
| Hassanakevazir | Ecnerifed, try asking in the forums if no one responds here | 07:52 |
| Boohbah | jove: unrar | 07:52 |
| traskbt | jove, unrar | 07:52 |
| sauvin | unrar x whatever.rar | 07:53 |
| marlun | Is it possible with aptitude to update a specific package if there are updates for it without getting all available updates for every package (aptitude safe-upgrade)? | 07:53 |
| Ecnerifed | Hassanakevazir, i dont really have the time to register, post and wait for replies, i need to go do this soon... | 07:53 |
| TheNano | Ecnerifed: removing panels, would be the first step, and maybe a user with limitied rights , it is not this easy i guess , forum could be a better place | 07:53 |
| jove | thx Boohbah / traskbt | 07:54 |
| Ecnerifed | I was thinking, ubuntu base with xubuntu x server and firefox... | 07:54 |
| Ecnerifed | since that would have nothing else installed | 07:54 |
| traskbt | Ecnerifed, what's your question? I just got here | 07:54 |
| lvlefisto | J-_: if you open /etc/fstab it will list your partitions. And The one with the type swap it is. | 07:54 |
| homeskill | how can i make firefox in linux not recreate the xpti.dat file when firefox restarts? i need to keep it deleted because i'm running the debugger version of flash player but everytime i restart firefox it recreates the file which disables the debugging | 07:54 |
| Ecnerifed | I need to set up a few workstations with nothing but firefox and the abilty to lock with a login screen that authenticates with an ms active directory server, what would be the best way to go about this? | 07:54 |
| Ecnerifed | traskbt :) | 07:54 |
| Boohbah | Noisia: love your tunes :) | 07:55 |
| fdemocracy | sometimes i tart apps and they disappear rom the taskbar | 07:55 |
| fdemocracy | that is weird. | 07:55 |
| J-_ | lvlefisto: I'm dual booting. /etc/fstab doesn't show my swap. It's not in use at the moment. This is why I'm trying to find out the UUID. | 07:55 |
| TheNano | Ecnerifed: make a new user should be the first , make sure it can't sudo ( remove him from sodo grupp ) , make hin auto login , some how remove panelmanager , and remove all packages not needen , there is Ubuntu light version i think | 07:55 |
| Hassanakevazir | Ecnerifed, I there is probably a distro or a variant of a popular distro that is preset to what you are asking. minus the windows directory exchange part which I'v never hear of | 07:55 |
| J-_ | There's no UUID for my swap partition. Weird. | 07:56 |
| lvlefisto | J-_: the disk mounter panel applet will show you the not mounted available partition, if you mount one of them you can see in its propierties the UUID | 07:56 |
| traskbt | Ecnerifed, Ubuntu base (if you do need Ubuntu, I assume since you're asking in here) and a very minimal WM (Fluxbox or something if you want to go lighter than Xfce) and Firefox and whatever you need for the screen lock/login (screen saver, though I don't know anything about authenticating it with an MS active directory server) | 07:56 |
| Ecnerifed | yeah Hassanakevazir, but i dont know where to find the distro, thats why im asking here while i search around... | 07:56 |
| TheNano | Ecnerifed: you maybe need Samba too , What you are going to do take some time and testing , more google | 07:57 |
| airtonix | Ecnerifed, part of your solution is the 'authorisation policy system' | 07:57 |
| airtonix | Ecnerifed, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11490/ | 07:57 |
| sauvin | I'm running Debian Lenny atm, j-_, and my swap partition DOES have a UUID. UUID=0-0-0-0-00. | 07:57 |
| Ecnerifed | ok thanks a lot | 07:57 |
| fdemocracy | as i was asking; sometimes i start apps and while i watch them boot in the taskbar they will suddenly disappear for no reason. what on earth is caysing this ? | 07:58 |
| J-_ | In my /etc/fstab it shows, "/dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0" | 07:58 |
| Ubuntnooblet | Hi, anyone available to help out with a display issue? | 07:59 |
| TheNano | Ecnerifed: I found it | 07:59 |
| fdemocracy | wonder if anybody else has this problem ;) | 07:59 |
| airtonix | Ecnerifed, the next step is to then create policy defenitions for the software on your system | 07:59 |
| Ecnerifed | TheNano: oh? | 07:59 |
| Ecnerifed | well airtonix, the idea is to not have any other software other then firefox... | 08:00 |
| airtonix | Ecnerifed, i understand, but there is software that by default is available to all users that you can't remove without borking the system | 08:00 |
| TheNano | Ecnerifed: here http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php and http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Other/Firefox-LiveCD-4686.shtml and | 08:01 |
| Ecnerifed | airtonix: isnt there a distro that does not have that software? | 08:01 |
| TheNano | Ecnerifed: you can try to find out how they did it | 08:02 |
| Ecnerifed | ah that looks awesome TheNano, ill do more reading now :) | 08:02 |

| xisle_tx4 | but when i open it it jus brings up files and folders | 08:14 |
| sleepy_cat | anything there for Ubuntu | 08:14 |
| carpii__ | what are you opening ? | 08:14 |
| xisle_tx4 | the file i donloaded? | 08:14 |
| Titan8990 | xisle_tx4, your going about it wrong | 08:15 |
| AK_Dave | xisle: the only software you download and then attempt to install, and expect to be successful, is source code and .deb archives. For all else, its apt-get. | 08:15 |
| roadmap | sleepy_cat: are you familiar with how to use shell scripts? | 08:15 |
| xisle_tx4 | i figure that | 08:15 |
| xisle_tx4 | tht why im here | 08:15 |
| anthony | pc doc guy | 08:15 |
| anthony | where u at | 08:15 |
| durt | xisle_tx4, what do you want to install? | 08:15 |
| Titan8990 | xisle_tx4, in windows you download a file from the internet and install it.... in linux there are package management systems that do all that for you | 08:15 |
| carpii__ | so whats the name of the file you downloaded? | 08:15 |
| xisle_tx4 | umm vuze | 08:15 |
| AK_Dave | full filename please | 08:15 |
| Titan8990 | xisle_tx4, in ubuntu, there is a GUI for the package manager and its located in the Systems -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager menu | 08:16 |
| sleepy_cat | not really why ? | 08:16 |
| roadmap | because this may work for you if you have familiarity with them: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rarbrute/ | 08:16 |
| durt | xisle_tx4, there's an equivalent in the repos | 08:16 |
| roadmap | Its a shell script that brute forces RAR archives. | 08:16 |
| roadmap | I cant testify how well it works, but it may be the only shot you have. | 08:16 |
| Titan8990 | xisle_tx4, I believe elisa media center is the linux equivalent your looking for | 08:17 |
| Titan8990 | xisle_tx4, oh, nvm, that is a linux app | 08:17 |
| AK_Dave | Elisa is very good, although I recommend adding the fluendo ppa to your sources.list and picking up the latest. | 08:17 |

| k1en | Psywiped, nope | 08:24 |
| Psywiped | your good | 08:24 |
| k1en | Psywiped, i'm talking from the server | 08:24 |
| k1en | Psywiped, the clients are thin | 08:24 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, you can't plug it in? | 08:25 |
| Psywiped | dam | 08:25 |
| borgista | Hi, what should one do to get GoogleEarth running after having install 'googleearth-package'? | 08:25 |
| illmortal | Negative Titan8990. | 08:25 |
| roadmap | sleepy_cat: it seems you just need to run ./rarbrute.sh <rar file> -d <wordlist> | 08:25 |
| Psywiped | you need to see if its just the server behind a firewall | 08:25 |
| Psywiped | !tracert | 08:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tracert | 08:25 |
| anthony_noob | Can anybody help me save my x configuration file ???????? | 08:25 |
| roadmap | sleepy_cat: im not quite sure what -n <number> does. Maybe it auto brute forces up to that many characters. I dont have a password protected RAR to check. | 08:25 |
| anthony_noob | please PM me if u can assist with this | 08:25 |
| k1en | Psywiped, i cant access google from server and clients, but i can aces all other sites. other PCs onb the network can access google no pro. iptables is default | 08:25 |
| roadmap | sleepy_cat: so say, put your RAR file in the same directory (or a copy of the RAR) as rar brute, and open up a terminal | 08:26 |
| sleepy_cat | roadmap: if i give u the rar file can u get my file inside it for me | 08:26 |
| roadmap | sleepy_cat: i can try but if its a really long password that could take hours if not days. | 08:26 |
| Psywiped | k1en, try tcptraceroute google.com | 08:26 |
| sleepy_cat | hmm i am not so sure of the password cause i dont remember it | 08:27 |
| roadmap | sleepy_cat: any idea how long it is? | 08:27 |
| sleepy_cat | :) no | 08:27 |
| sleepy_cat | should be 6 character max i think | 08:27 |
| k1en | Psywiped, cant do that, i'm in china and they block the traceroute protocol :-( | 08:27 |
| roadmap | sleepy_cat: would you say you're a paranoia/security nut and have extremely ridiculously long passwords? | 08:27 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, it appears that specific card is not natively supported | 08:27 |
| sleepy_cat | no | 08:27 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, the only guide on the wiki for it is ndiswrapper | 08:27 |
| sleepy_cat | i dont like hugh passwords firstly | 08:27 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, you can check it out here: http://sampbar.com/2009/01/broadcom-bcm4318-ubuntu-intrepid/ | 08:27 |
| sleepy_cat | its max 6 characters long | 08:27 |
| k1en | Psywiped, i just get 1 * * * 2 * * * | 08:27 |
| Boohbah | k1en: hence the TCP traceroute... | 08:28 |
| Boohbah | k1en: as standard traceroute uses ICMP | 08:28 |
| sleepy_cat | roadmap: guide me how should i go about this | 08:28 |
| noumaan | we have two computers at our home using Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 how do we share files between them | 08:28 |
| Psywiped | k1en, yea it sounds like a firewall issue | 08:28 |
| Titan8990 | noumaan, easiest and secure way is scp (ssh) | 08:28 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, right... which is the same exact guide Iḿ using but for some reason itś still not working. | 08:29 |
| k1en | Boohbah, no i get the *** with tcptraceroute as well | 08:29 |
| noumaan | what is scp and how do i install it? | 08:29 |
| Titan8990 | noumaan, takes a little bit more time to configure but you can get better speed with ftp or http | 08:29 |
| k1en | Psywiped, ok, how do i procede? i have admin right but not sure what to do | 08:29 |
| Titan8990 | noumaan, install openssh-server from apt-get or synaptic | 08:29 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, you can see the interface? | 08:29 |
| noumaan | Titan8990: i am looking for something like windows in windows when we are using the same workgroup we can share files by right clicking and sharing | 08:30 |
| kraut | moin | 08:30 |
| bogey | hi, I'm trying to post to ubuntu forums | 08:30 |
| Psywiped | k1en, im a truckdriver im not sure this is a hoby for me | 08:30 |
| bogey | Jukka76, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: | 08:30 |
| bogey | I have activated my account | 08:30 |
| k1en | Psywiped, ok, thanks for help | 08:30 |
| Ruut | hallo | 08:30 |
| Titan8990 | noumaan, you can install samba for the windows way of doing it | 08:30 |
| Flannel | bogey: Try #ubuntuforums, they'll be able to help you | 08:30 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, Yes. Normally when I left click on the network adapter (on the taskbar near the time) I would get a list of wireless networks then I can just click on mine and itĺl connect. | 08:31 |
| Titan8990 | noumaan, but SMB/CIFs is slow and it doesn't offer the security of scp | 08:31 |
| xukun | I really badly need your help. I have a new system with Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio sound card, I have no sound when play audio files(flac,wav) sound play ok with movies. I,m using pulseaudio | 08:31 |
| noumaan | ok | 08:31 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, does: iwlist wlan0 scanning return nothing? | 08:31 |

| illmortal | hm... writing that down. Ill test it out | 08:31 |
| noumaan | but users at our home pc dont know ftp ssh and comand line tools didn't i promise them gui for everything when i installed ubuntu | 08:32 |
| k1en | Titan8990, whats an alternative for smb/cif? | 08:32 |
| Boohbah | k1en: NFS | 08:32 |
| Flannel | noumaan: You can use any GUI ftp client (try filezilla) | 08:32 |
| Titan8990 | noumaan, there are guis for all those, and they are integrated into the file browser | 08:32 |
| k1en | BobSapp, can windows access it ? (/osx?) | 08:32 |
| Titan8990 | noumaan, you can even keep a folder on the desktop that is the remote pcs | 08:32 |
| Psywiped | k1en, try tcptraceroute kjplatt.doesntexist.org | 08:32 |
| Psywiped | k1en, or to any site that you know is working | 08:33 |
| xukun | anyone please any idea? | 08:33 |
| Psywiped | xukun, try alas insted | 08:34 |
| Psywiped | !alas | 08:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alas | 08:34 |
| k1en | Psywiped, no,,,i don't think you can traceroute in china. i tried on a windows machine as well,,,even chinese websites | 08:34 |
| Titan8990 | Psywiped, alsa | 08:34 |
| Psywiped | k1en, just try if it doesnt work then it ruels out somthing | 08:34 |
| Psywiped | xukun, alsa | 08:35 |
| Titan8990 | Psywiped, advanced linux sound architecture | 08:35 |
| pqb | Hello, I have problems with sound out (eg using Skype) in 8.10, and wonder if a reinstallation of 8.04 wdould be a better idea, especially as 8.04 is supported for a year longer. | 08:35 |
| k1en | Psywiped, doesnt work, i tried tcptraceroute to baidu.com got ***, firefox connects to it a split second | 08:35 |
| zhanglei | asdf | 08:35 |
| Psywiped | k1en, ok that tells us somthing | 08:35 |
| k1en | Psywiped, what ? | 08:35 |
| Psywiped | k1en, and what does traceroute do for the same site | 08:35 |
| Ruut | when I try to install ubuntu (8.04), right after seecting the language of the installation, the monitor becomes black and nothing happens.. | 08:36 |
| zhanglei | who are you? | 08:36 |
| k1en | Psywiped, **** | 08:36 |
| Ruut | I suspect I have some problem with the "graphical" installation, how can I use a text-base instalation? | 08:36 |
| Flannel | Ruut: Get the alternate CD | 08:37 |
| zhanglei | df | 08:37 |
| Ruut | I have the alternate CD | 08:37 |
| Kelen | Is that a LTS for jaunty 9.04? | 08:37 |
| Psywiped | but you can ping both of them? | 08:37 |
| Flannel | Kelen: No. 8.04 | 08:37 |
| k1en | Psywiped, yes | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ruut: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify te disk you burned once booted to | 08:37 |
| Ruut | yes | 08:37 |
| Psywiped | k1en, can you get tor on there? | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ruut: did you urn at the slowest speed possible? | 08:37 |
| Flannel | Ruut: then you have the textbased installer. Desktop is a GUI installer, Alternate is debian-installer. | 08:37 |
| k1en | yes | 08:37 |
| Ruut | The CD works perfectly, I used it on a diffferent machine | 08:37 |
| k1en | Psywiped, i mean i can install it.... | 08:38 |
| Psywiped | k1en, are you at the location? | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | Ruut | 08:38 |
| Kelen | Flannel: Okay, what's the next LTS version? | 08:38 |
| ubottu | Ruut: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 08:38 |
| k1en | Psywiped, yes | 08:38 |
| marcelo | how do I add a new folder to the Home folder in Ubuntu? | 08:38 |
| Flannel | Kelen: 10.04 is scheduled (and will likely be) | 08:38 |
| Psywiped | yea put tor on and configure it if you can get to google with tor runing its a firewall issue | 08:38 |
| Ruut | so I don't know what's wrong.. but the monitor is black.. | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: mkdir ~/<folder name> | 08:38 |
| Psywiped | and if you cant im stumped | 08:39 |
| k1en | Psywiped, but i cant access the tor website, there was something you needed to add to the privoxy conf i recall | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: or right click in your favorite file manager (nautilus, pcman, dolphin, konqueror) and select new -> folder | 08:39 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, when I do a iwlist wlan0 scanning command I get: No Scan Results. Also I did a ndiswrapper -l and it shows that I currently do not have a driver installed. | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Ruut: try some boot options | 08:39 |
| illmortal | Even after following those same exact instructions | 08:39 |
| Ruut | I see.. I'll try that vga=771... | 08:39 |
| Ruut | thanks for helping, all of you | 08:39 |
| Psywiped | dam k1en i just use my own server and ssh thru it now a days | 08:40 |
| k1en | Psywiped, would you be so kind as to copy paste the ubuntu instructions to tor on ubuntu pastebin? its blocked in china,, | 08:40 |
| Ruut | byebye | 08:40 |
| Psywiped | !pastebin | 08:40 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 08:40 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, do lscpi -k and see what driver its using | 08:40 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, sorry... lspci -k | 08:40 |
| illmortal | k brb again | 08:41 |

| jeremy_ | can someone tell me how to install the sis 315pro AGP/PCI drivers? | 08:41 |
| k1en | thanks | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: is this your users home folder? | 08:41 |
| TechHead | I need to auth with q which grants me access to pwd protectet channels | 08:42 |
| marcelo | just the home folder | 08:42 |
| lstarnes | TechHead: try /set irc_join_delay | 08:42 |
| TechHead | did so, no effect | 08:42 |
| TechHead | well I run a py script which does the join and authing at startup | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: not good dude, the user needs to have write access to its own home or you're gonna get issues | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: try this | 08:42 |
| Psywiped | http://paste.ubuntu.com/147479/ | 08:42 |
| TechHead | lstarnes: I set it to 10 secs | 08:43 |
| aceat64 | has anyone else run into issues with 9.04, sata_nv and it not detecting some drives (but detecting others)? | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: sudo chown -R $USER ~/; sudo chmod 750 ~/ | 08:43 |
| Flannel | aceat64: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. | 08:43 |
| TechHead | yet channels get joined right away | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: that will make your user the owner of its own folder and give it full access to its own data | 08:43 |
| aceat64 | ahh, I forgot jaunty hasn't been released from beta yet :) | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | gah | 08:44 |
| lstarnes | TechHead: someone in #xchat might have an idea. I personally don't use xchat anymore as my main client | 08:44 |
| J-_ | what can I do to see if my swap is working? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | marcelo: sudo chmod -R 750 ~/ | 08:44 |
| jeremy_ | can anyone here help me with the sis 315 pro driver problem ? | 08:44 |
| TechHead | I use Irssi on my main | 08:44 |
| Psywiped | i like hydrairc | 08:44 |
| pqb | Anyone here used 8.04? | 08:44 |
| TechHead | but on this comp I got x-chat | 08:44 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, i used that once | 08:44 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, a year ago it was | 08:45 |
| Psywiped | hydrairc has a great interface for large screens | 08:45 |
| TechHead | lstarnes: thx for the help | 08:45 |
| Psywiped | its crowed on small ones | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | J-_: run the free command | 08:45 |
| TechHead | Psywiped: I got a 16" lappy here | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: ive used it, not bad at all | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | J-_: you will see a line relating to swap | 08:46 |
| J-_ | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 08:46 |
| Psywiped | the channel monitor is nice | 08:46 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: Did microphone work? I cannot get 8.10 to work with Sykpe & wonder if installing 8.04 wd be the answer. | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: its got an autorun function too when you connect to certain servers too | 08:46 |
| Psywiped | very usefull when you have 6 or more chats up ath the same time | 08:46 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m12e6c513 | 08:46 |
| TechHead | only 3 usually | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !skype | pqb | 08:46 |
| ubottu | pqb: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 08:47 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, i don't remember if mike worked in 8.04 or not | 08:47 |
| k1en | Psywiped, I have google with tor! | 08:47 |
| Psywiped | k1en, yep a firewall is keeping you from geting to google | 08:47 |
| jeremy_ | can anyone here help me with the sis 315 pro driver problem ? | 08:47 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, you have to A) blacklist both of those module B) install the windows driver in ndiswrapper | 08:47 |
| TechHead | erm: the irc_delay cmd ist this is milliseconds or in seconds? | 08:47 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, I also want to add that when I start my computer and shutdown my computer I get a warning that something modprobe/blacklist has a couple lines blacklisted. | 08:47 |
| k1en | Psywiped, ok - what do i do next? | 08:47 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, right click on sound in your top panel "open volume control | 08:47 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: Does it work in your present set up? | 08:48 |
| Psywiped | figure out where the firewall is and put it out | 08:48 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, yes, but i had to tinker | 08:48 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, what? | 08:48 |
| Psywiped | or put tor on every computer | 08:48 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, 8.10 is frought with sound issues which i hope will be ironed out in 9.04 | 08:48 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: I've been tinkering for a while, with no results :-( | 08:48 |
| Psywiped | but google doesnt like tor very much | 08:48 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, have you gone into Open Volume Control ? | 08:49 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: I've read that.. which are you running just now? | 08:49 |
| linduxed | !ot | 08:49 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:49 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: Yes | 08:49 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, have you got mike enabled there in preferences? | 08:49 |
| Psywiped | whos ot? | 08:49 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, when I shut my computer off.. I get a warning right before it shuts down that reads something about line 46 and 48 being ignored because it is on a black list... Also to black list the modules, I just need to add their names onto the list without the '#'? | 08:49 |
| k1en | Psywiped, nah tor is too slow , i need to find that firewall, should i just google all different firewalls for linux and see if any of them installed?> | 08:49 |
| linduxed | Psywiped: i needed to know channel name | 08:49 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, i'm still running 8.10 - 9.04 wont be ready till end of April | 08:49 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, right, its done in step 3 of that guide | 08:50 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, go to "Open Volume Control" (right click on your sound botton at the top of the panel) | 08:50 |
| Psywiped | yea sometimes i spam the channel to get pastebin to come up so i dont have to type it | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | illmortal: get the exact error if you can, to blacklist a module it needs adding to the blacklist file (if thats what is needed) | 08:50 |
| illmortal | hm... ok maybe that .sh files are not working. I just doubleclick them. | 08:50 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: which mike: there are a few to choose from ! | 08:50 |
| Psywiped | k1en, yea i guess that could work unless its a hdware firewall betwee the server and the net | 08:50 |
| livingdaylight | find the Microphone and make sure its not on mute and put the volume up on it | 08:51 |
| illmortal | ActionParsnip.. Ill log back onto linux and copy my blacklist then pastebin it here. | 08:51 |
| jeremy_ | Titan8990 can you help me with a sis 315 pro driiver? my install of ubuntu doesnt have the drivers loaded | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: imagine if we ALL did that, the channel would be useless. Please be more thoughtful | 08:51 |
| illmortal | Gonna add those two names onto the blacklist brb. | 08:51 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, if in doubt put 'em all 'on' and 'up' ^^ | 08:51 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: OK.... | 08:51 |
| Titan8990 | jeremy_, are you sure its supported? | 08:51 |
| Psywiped | well i now know what its called | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Psywiped: you can also use the pastebinit program | 08:51 |
| k1en | Psywiped, ok something weird just happened , after more than 10 minutes one of the browsers (no tor) suddenly connected to google | 08:51 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, including 'Mike Boost' have you got that one? | 08:51 |
| Psywiped | k1en, guess tor is faster | 08:52 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, there's Front Mike, Microphone, Mike Boost, yea? | 08:52 |
| k1en | Psywiped, ok - thanks for help ... | 08:52 |
| Psywiped | i do what i can | 08:52 |
| === jscinoz_ is now known as jscinoz | ||
| pqb | livingdaylight: yes, but I cannot get any of them to do anything. I get a list , then clicking on any of the items does nothing | 08:53 |
| jeremy_ | Titan8990 not really ive only had ubuntu for like a week but ive seen some articles about it being supported but its not in the list when i go to screens and graphics | 08:53 |
| Psywiped | OK SLEEPY TIME | 08:53 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, clicking on the icon doesnt mute or un-mute 'em? | 08:54 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: now I've got it . A window with volume sliders | 08:54 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, exactly | 08:54 |
| BlueParrot | what channel should I use for questions about hardy and networking ? | 08:54 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, unmute and slide the volume UP | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | BlueParrot: you are here, ask the room | 08:54 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: could be that. they're unmuted now. | 08:55 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, you'll find that should help tremendously ^^ | 08:55 |
| pqb | livingdaylight: I'm sure ti will ;-) | 08:55 |
| BlueParrot | right, I have a stupid ISP that hijacks failed dns requests tor edirect me to its own search site. I want to use opendns instead but I can't figure out how to override the dns and still use the nm-applet for wireless. | 08:55 |
| Titan8990 | jeremy_, from the terminal: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 08:55 |
| pqb | I'll just give it a go with Sykpe... | 08:55 |
| BlueParrot | basically I'm on hardy and I need both wireless with WPA2 support and the ability to override DNS settings | 08:56 |
| Titan8990 | jeremy_, then try adding this to xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/da72d5e9 | 08:56 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, also once in Skype go to options and the sound tab(it may be under general) and do some test calls to make sure its working. | 08:56 |
| Titan8990 | jeremy_, if it doesn't work, restore from that backup | 08:56 |
| lstarnes | BlueParrot: I think there's something in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 08:56 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, just trying that now. | 08:57 |
| lstarnes | BlueParrot: try appending this to the end of that file: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220; | 08:57 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, if you get error with one then use the drop-down menu to select a different sound | 08:57 |
| snakedog | hi is there a command for checking how long the pc has been running? | 08:57 |
| BlueParrot | lstarnes, isn't that overrideen by the applet that connects to the wireless network ? | 08:57 |
| lstarnes | snakedog: uptime | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | BlueParrot: to override DNS you can put other DNS in /etc/resolv.conf or add name resolutions in /etc/hosts to make names resolve to the IPs you wish | 08:57 |
| lstarnes | BlueParrot: networkmanager also uses DHCP afaik | 08:58 |
| BlueParrot | lstarnes, you mean dhclient ... | 08:58 |
| BlueParrot | ? | 08:58 |
| snakedog | lstarnes: thx much appreciated | 08:58 |
| ShackTiDe | Hi all. Does anyone have a motherboard with Intel P43 Chipset running? | 08:58 |
| lstarnes | BlueParrot: dhcp is the protocol used by dhclient | 08:58 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, now Skype won't load | 08:58 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, arrffff.... why not? | 08:58 |
| BlueParrot | lstarnes, yes, but the conf file is for dhclient so if networkmanager doesn't use it changing it won't help ... | 08:58 |
| linduxed | hey guys i just tried doing a drive-to-drive clone of my ubuntu install with clonezilla, and i think most things went ok, except for one thing, grub didnt install | 08:58 |
| linduxed | clonezilla started spitting out all kinds of errors about files in /lib/modules/2.6.blablabla/kernel/fs and then reported that the grub directory couldnt be found | 08:58 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, Is the Linux version a bit broken? | 08:58 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, tinkering with the volume prefernces shouldn't have had nothing to do with Skype | 08:59 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, no idea | 08:59 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, it did before? | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | linduxed | 08:59 |
| ubottu | linduxed: 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 | 08:59 |
| linduxed | im still in the clonezilla shell, how do i install grub manually? | 08:59 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, it says other Skype process active.. | 08:59 |
| livingdaylight | ahhh | 08:59 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, don't think so | 08:59 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, means its still running somehow | 08:59 |
| BlueParrot | lstarnes, what I want to do is stop network manager from using the dhcp server supplied by my ISP and make it use opendns instead. I'l try the resolv.conf as Parsnip suggested | 08:59 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: hmmm, will have a look at that | 09:00 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, go to System>Prefernce>System Monitor | 09:00 |
| lstarnes | BlueParrot: you will need to use your ISP's dhcp servers to get a working connection, but you can use different DNS servers | 09:00 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, in System Monitor see if Skype is running and right-click if it is and 'kill' | 09:00 |
| BlueParrot | lstarnes, ah yes, sorry I'm reading dhcp and thinking dns ... | 09:01 |
| BlueParrot | ok, dhclient seems to use opendns now, lets see what network manager decides to do | 09:01 |
| BlueParrot | wish me luck | 09:01 |
| dyllan | hi guys | 09:02 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, what does the icon for System Monitor look like (I'm using this in another lang and cannot make out which one it is) | 09:02 |
| Guest92569 | hi guys....i would like to know which is the best "command line editor" for programming in c language????? | 09:02 |
| DarKnesS_WolF | guys any idea why when i am using a RSA auth. with SSH in the system user " like tomcat6 " it is not working correctly ? | 09:02 |
| BlueParrot | lstarnes, yea that worked, thanks | 09:02 |
| dyllan | the new login screen for ubuntu 9, is it possible to use it as ur desktop wallpaper, its awesome? | 09:02 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, icon is monitor with green wallpaper and a yellow graph | 09:02 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, what language? | 09:03 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, you can also just relog in by 'cont.+Alt+Backspace' | 09:03 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, ah yes, it's in system admin.. got it. | 09:03 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, that's what i said: livingdaylight> pqb, go to System>Prefernce>System Monitor :D | 09:05 |
| pqb | Polish | 09:05 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, Ugh :x | 09:05 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, right Skype's running & I'll test... | 09:05 |
| jeremy_ | titan8990 do i need to restart or anything ? | 09:05 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, that's why. It is still running in background which is why you couldn't launch it again. So, right-click and kill | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | Guest92569 | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Guest92569: 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. | 09:06 |
| Titan8990 | jeremy_, ctrl+alt+backspace | 09:06 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, after adding the two modules onto the blacklist: b43-pci-bridge & ssb I tried installing the driver again but failed. | 09:06 |
| jeremy_ | in the terminal? | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest92569: nano is easy to use. I dont know of any app being best. or for that matter, anything at all. Try a few, see which you prefer | 09:06 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, no difference | 09:06 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, ndiswrapper -l show the driver installed? | 09:06 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, you killed it? | 09:07 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, No. : http://pastebin.com/m69f10c4e | 09:07 |
| _Brun0_ | where can I manually see/edit my wireless configuration? i'll need that when installing command-line ubuntu desktop. | 09:07 |
| dyllan | the new login screen for ubuntu 9, is it possible to use it as ur desktop wallpaper, its awesome? | 09:07 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, everything elsse works well in this OS, but the sound out is a disaster :-( Yes, I killed it ans started it again. | 09:07 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: that didnt help much, now when i tried mounting the drive it says the same things about files in /lib/modules/2.6.blabla/kernel/fs .... and it ends with "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext3'" | 09:07 |
| Guest92569 | i'm searching an editor that has c programming features like indentation etc etc....for example kdevelop is awesome but is gui editor...i'm searching for command line one | 09:07 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, is that file on your desktop? | 09:07 |
| illmortal | Titan8990, yes sir. | 09:08 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, Porblem is I need Skype on this computer... | 09:08 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, ok, you successfully re-launched Skype, but mike doesn't work? | 09:08 |
| Titan8990 | Guest92569, vim | 09:08 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, that's right. | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: then thats nothing to do with grub, thats fstab mounting stuff bad | 09:08 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, unsure really | 09:08 |
| illmortal | =\ | 09:08 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, double check your mike setting are still switched 'on' and slider is 'up' in Volume Control | 09:08 |
| land | greetings earthlings | 09:09 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, then tinker with the test calls in Skype under Options | 09:09 |
| jeremy_ | titan8990 when i press ctrl alt backspace will it tell me its been restarted? | 09:09 |
| Guest92569 | ok thank you..... Titan8990 | 09:09 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: ok... any solution? | 09:09 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, fan of illmatic im guessing? | 09:09 |
| Titan8990 | jeremy_, no it just restarts the GUI and sends you back to the log in | 09:09 |
| illmortal | Nah... as in NAS? Not realy. | 09:09 |
| illmortal | really* | 09:09 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: would booting up ubuntu live, and try installing grub from there help? | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: read /etc/fstab and then compare it to sudo fdisk -l | 09:09 |
| jeremy_ | ok it didnt do that | 09:09 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, you should have options: there is the 'default'setting Skype is set to but you should be able to choose from the drop-down menu other options | 09:09 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, I've been using Pulse to handle sound. It even worked once on a tst call, not not since... | 09:09 |
| Titan8990 | jeremy_, in terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 09:10 |
| illmortal | Crap.... Iḿ gonna have to stick to windows =\ | 09:10 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, use alsa | 09:10 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: its empty | 09:10 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, but you prefix everything with ill.... | 09:10 |
| marcel | pulseaudio doesnt work with skype, is my experience | 09:10 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, OK | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: /etc/fstab tells the system how to mount stuff at bootup, this may be your issue, make sure you have opened the right file | 09:10 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, don't have that choice. | 09:11 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, Skype - Options | 09:11 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: i know what it does... but the clonezilla live environment seems to have an empty /etc/fstab file | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: i'd look into that | 09:12 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: sudo fdisk -l gives a lot of output though | 09:12 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, yes, I'm there. There are HDA Invidia, hdmi, USB device.. | 09:12 |
| Titan8990 | linduxed, you can chroot into your new install but it shouldn't be necessary to install grub | 09:12 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, Skype>Options>Sound Devices | 09:12 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, exactly! try each one | 09:12 |
| pqb | OK | 09:12 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, what headset have you got? | 09:12 |
| illmortal | Does anyone here have experience with Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) and can assist me on installing the driver? | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: yep, its all the partitions and disks in your system, you can compare it to /etc/fdisk to make sure that the system drives are mounted as you expect | 09:13 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, using speakers and the mke on webcam | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | illmortal | 09:13 |
| ubottu | illmortal: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 09:13 |
| illmortal | eh. | 09:13 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | testing pidgin, no reply needed | 09:14 |
| illmortal | been there done that. | 09:14 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: Titan8990: well judging by the "sudo fdisk -l" output the disk was clone well... so i guess the data's there.... | 09:14 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, have also got Logitech headset | 09:14 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, if its one where the mike and headphone jacks go into a usb then try usb. You can also vary where you put the headphone and mike jacks in your computer. But when i tinkerd with these options i eventually got it to work. I know - it a pain! | 09:14 |
| illmortal | I cant install the driver. | 09:14 |
| illmortal | thatś my only problem here. | 09:14 |
| charwin | nice | 09:14 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, as long as it wokrs eventually it'll be OK. | 09:14 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, but you think it should work on 8.10? | 09:14 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, that's all i can offer amigo :( | 09:14 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: as said, the /etc/fstab is an empty file, no content | 09:14 |
| xukun | !pulseaudio | 09:14 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 09:14 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, its how i eventually got it to work for me, yes, but you i don't know | 09:15 |
| illmortal | meh... i give up. Iĺl stick to windows until Linux has their drivers issue straightened out. | 09:15 |
| illmortal | Thanks anyways Titan8990 | 09:15 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, thanks for you help. I wonder if installing 8.04 wd be better, and it is supported for longer...? | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: then your image must be bad as that file needs to be populated (as I'm sure you are aware) | 09:15 |
| Diabl0 | hi | 09:15 |
| marcel | hi | 09:15 |
| Diabl0 | somebody know which simulator is best for ubuntu 9.04 | 09:15 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, I read s/where the sound has chaged in 8.10 causinf prob for many people | 09:16 |
| marcel | simulating what? | 09:16 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, well, you've got this far, try what i told you first. The next release is due in a couple weeks! Try 9.04 then. But yes, you can always go back too :) | 09:16 |
| lstarnes | Diabl0: simulator of what? | 09:16 |
| Diabl0 | windows programs | 09:16 |
| pqb | livingdaylight,cheers.. | 09:16 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, yes, sound in 8.10 is a pain in the backside | 09:16 |
| lstarnes | Diabl0: try wine | 09:16 |
| illmortal | Devs have gotta stop coming out with new distros and just work on the ones they currently have =\ | 09:16 |
| Diabl0 | wine is not doing well | 09:16 |
| lstarnes | Diabl0: I think the term you're looking for is "emulator", not "simulator" | 09:16 |
| marcel | Diabl0, why use windows programs on linux, use windows on windows, linux on linux | 09:17 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, i buy my hardware base on linux compatibilty | 09:17 |
| Titan8990 | illmortal, without issue | 09:17 |
| Diabl0 | vmware something like that | 09:17 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: actually this is the second time this stuff happens, and it was a different version of clonezilla back then so i think (however this is possible) that the CZ guys somehow make it without an /etc/fstab | 09:17 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, OK I'll sign of and play around with sound. Many thanks again. | 09:17 |
| marcel | Diabl0, virtualbox is very good | 09:17 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, i have 'sound in' and 'sound out' set to hdmi and Ringing set to HDA | 09:17 |
| illmortal | unfortunately I dont have it that easy Titan8990. | 09:17 |
| Diabl0 | tnx | 09:17 |
| dyllan | found it | 09:17 |
| pqb | livingdaylight, I'll try those first... Thanks. | 09:17 |
| livingdaylight | pqb, you're welcome | 09:17 |
| lstarnes | Diabl0: there's also qemu/kvm | 09:18 |
| UbuntuBoy | I Have A 256 RAM can Run Ubuntu Or No | 09:18 |
| Hassanakevazir | Diabl0, try downloading it from its website, it has usb support too | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuBoy: sure | 09:18 |
| Diabl0 | marcel i dont want windows :DDDD i need some autodata programs and i dont want to have dualboot | 09:18 |
| marcel | UbuntuBoy, Y e s | 09:18 |
| UbuntuBoy | Ok Thank's | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuBoy: if it runs poorly, install something like XFCE or LXDE | 09:18 |
| marcel | Diabl0, virtualbox | 09:18 |
| Diabl0 | ok | 09:18 |
| UbuntuBoy | No But i Like Gnome | 09:18 |
| miki4242 | Diabl0: you could try virtualbox | 09:18 |
| marcel | UbuntuBoy, xubuntu for instance | 09:18 |
| Titan8990 | UbuntuBoy, I would say no for gnome | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuBoy: metacity may run poorly but XFCE and LXDE are lighter so the UI will be snappier | 09:19 |
| aimnano | I use XFCE even on my desktop. | 09:19 |
| * marcel loves xubuntu, fast and clean | 09:19 | |
| miki4242 | marcel: doubled up :( | 09:19 |
| Diabl0 | i downloading virtualbox now ,its 1 giga | 09:19 |
| Diabl0 | :DD | 09:19 |
| aimnano | xubuntu ftw | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | aimnano: fluxbox ftw | 09:19 |
| kepi | is xfce that good? | 09:19 |
| lstarnes | Diabl0: you will need to install windows in virtualbox, kvm/qemu, or whatever emulator you use | 09:19 |
| aimnano | yeah i used to run a gentoo box w/fluxbox | 09:19 |
| UbuntuBoy | Ok Im Very Happy for Join The Ubuntu Users Commonutie | 09:19 |
| Diabl0 | jp | 09:19 |
| aimnano | it was pretty snappy as well | 09:19 |
| marcel | kepi, 4.6 is really good | 09:19 |
| lstarnes | Diabl0: wine doesn't require windows to work | 09:20 |
| aimnano | xubuntu is a quicker install, less hassle | 09:20 |
| Diabl0 | but autodata dont work in wine | 09:20 |
| kepi | marcel, is that the latest? | 09:20 |
| marcel | kepi, 4.6, but thats in jaunty | 09:20 |
| UbuntuBoy | But Xubuntu Is Not Very Pretty | 09:20 |
| aimnano | Mine is | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | aimnano: emerge fluxbox go to bed, wake up and its all good to go :) | 09:20 |
| aimnano | i have awn (dock) and compiz fusion installed | 09:20 |
| marcel | UbuntuBoy, thats subjective, change the wallpaper | 09:20 |
| aimnano | it looks amazing | 09:20 |
| [HU]gnanet | Hi, i have a weird problem with cron.daily, on Hardy: http://pastebin.com/m3ada9f56 | 09:21 |
| kepi | ok, i'll try itt when jaunty is out | 09:21 |
| UbuntuBoy | OK | 09:21 |
| aimnano | ActionParsnip, yeah lmao. | 09:21 |
| Diabl0 | i have jaunty | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuBoy: youo do not have RAM to turn on full prettys, LXDE is fairly glossy | 09:21 |
| paul68 | what is then the benifit of xubuntu over ubuntu for example, me is very happy with ubuntu | 09:21 |
| Diabl0 | its work fine | 09:21 |
| Diabl0 | :) | 09:21 |
| [HU]gnanet | My cron.daily sleeps after logrotate is DONE, not zombie | 09:21 |
| [HU]gnanet | it sleeps about a day | 09:21 |
| Ranakah | Diabl0 | 09:21 |
| Ranakah | http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 09:21 |
| marcel | paul68, is has xfce, which is fast | 09:21 |
| aimnano | My computer is older, so my resources are precious. | 09:21 |
| Ranakah | with 3d acceleration support :) | 09:21 |
| Ranakah | in windows | 09:21 |
| aimnano | I run light so I can do what I want to do without a gorilla of an OS on my shoulders | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuBoy: http://www.bolivarlug.org.ve/site/files/pantallazos/lxde.png | 09:22 |
| UbuntuBoy | Im Runing Now Ubuntu he run faster whit some changes | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuBoy: pretty enough for you? :D | 09:22 |
| paul68 | marcel: sorry for this noob question but what is xfce? | 09:22 |
| marcel | paul68, a desktop manager, like gnome/kde | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: its a lightweight desktop environment | 09:22 |
| marlun | If I've got a laptop with a generic bluetooth chip which should work but is not detected by ubuntu what can I do to try to search for it? | 09:22 |
| kepi | brb | 09:22 |
| aimnano | I hope google releases chrome for linux soon :\ | 09:22 |
| marcel | paul68, see http://www.xfce.org | 09:22 |
| Titan8990 | !bluetooth | marlun | 09:22 |
| ubottu | marlun: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 09:22 |
| c0mp13371331337 | aimnano: Huzzuh! | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: you run it instead of gnome / metacity but if you have gnome apps installed you can still run them | 09:23 |
| UbuntuBoy | Now the Google Chrome Is Not avaliable | 09:23 |
| UbuntuBoy | But Chromium Is Avaliable | 09:23 |
| aimnano | Yeah I have Chromium... | 09:23 |
| aimnano | no tabs lmao | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | aimnano: its available, just runs badly | 09:23 |
| aimnano | Very fast though. | 09:23 |
| aimnano | I am liking it so far. | 09:23 |
| marcel | firefox-3.5 is fast | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | aimnano: grab opera. its decent | 09:23 |
| aimnano | I shall action. | 09:24 |
| UbuntuBoy | You can Ru google chrome whit wine | 09:24 |
| aimnano | How's it's plugin setup? | 09:24 |
| paul68 | marcel: Actionparsnip:ok but is there a huge difference to ubuntu since I'm running ubuntu for a 1 1/2 year now and happy with it | 09:24 |
| aimnano | I think VLC probably works with it... | 09:24 |
| marcel | paul68, no, you can just install xfce-desktop and choose it from gdm as session | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: yes, its designed to use less ram, you can install xfce4, log off, switch session to xfce and log on | 09:24 |
| marcel | paul68, but its small, clean and fast | 09:25 |
| === Album is now known as Album|Awy | ||
| aimnano | If you're using Ubuntu and you're satisfied with it...don't switch. | 09:25 |
| paul68 | marcel: Actionparsnip: so it should be better to run on a laptop for example | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: you can also install lxde and select that too, its another light DE | 09:25 |
| kepi | anybody using swiftweasel? | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: if the laptop isnt big and whizzy, sure | 09:25 |
| UbuntuBoy | Ok Im going now bye all | 09:25 |
| swayed | Will it be possible to do an Internet upgrade from Hardy (skip Intrepid) to Jaunty after Final release of Jaunty ? ? | 09:25 |
| marcel | paul68, i use it on laptops, and my desktop (amd64), i dont want to waste resources | 09:26 |
| aimnano | Is there a default screenshot implementation for XFCE? | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | swayed: you will have to upgrade to intrepid first afaik | 09:26 |
| marcel | aimnano, there is one, i dont remmeber te name | 09:26 |
| sliverchair1 | how do I list every resource this url has? http://img05.nj.us.mangafox.com/store/manga/4105/03-000.0/compressed/ | 09:26 |
| aimnano | If there is I'd feel newbish...I'm using scrot atm. | 09:26 |
| aimnano | Oh wait | 09:26 |
| aimnano | I remember finding it as a panel add-on. | 09:26 |
| swayed | ActionParsnip, Thanks - Was afraid of that being the case - kinda figured that but wanted to make sure. | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | aimnano: import -w root picture.png | 09:27 |
| paul68 | marcel: does it have the same functionalities like I have on ubuntu or is there to much difference between the 2 | 09:27 |
| lili_ | hi | 09:27 |
| marcel | paul68, you have gnome, and xfce has the same, just try it out | 09:27 |
| Diabl0 | hi | 09:27 |
| aimnano | paul68: less programs installed initially | 09:27 |
| swayed | ActionParsnip, Probably just start over with a new bigger Hard Drive anyways - be best in long run....... | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: if you have ubuntu installed and install xfce, you can still use the ubuntu config apps but the UI will be slicker | 09:28 |
| jeremy_ | whats the command to restart xorg again ? | 09:28 |
| jeremy_ | lol | 09:28 |
| Diabl0 | when to turn all on in xfce is like gnome same speed | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jeremy_: why lol? hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 09:28 |
| moncky | jeremy_: ctrl alt and backspace should do it | 09:29 |
| aimnano | ctrl + alt + backspace | 09:29 |
| jeremy_ | that doesnt work on my version | 09:29 |
| paul68 | marcel: Actionparsnip: ok thanks | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jeremy_: why the lol? | 09:29 |
| ndan | hrmm i have a security question.... when your forwarding say a udp/tcp port for torrents etc... are you making ur computer completely open to attack? if so is there a way to circumvent this? | 09:30 |
| ndan | cause i know i can't really get virus' can get rootkits tho, and peeps can still hack my computer... dunno if there is any protection... cause watchdog will just need it opened neways | 09:30 |
| aimnano | i wouldn't think so, unless you're using an insecure torrent client | 09:30 |
| clarence | I'm chinese, but I don't know how to install language files | 09:31 |
| kepi | by the way, when do we start using UDP? i heard it is fast | 09:31 |
| lili_ | I am chinese too | 09:31 |
| ndan | lol clarence... that's my real name | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ndan: the router by default drops packets that are unexpected (no rules defined). by opening ports you tell the router to push the traffic through to your pc if a connection on the right port with the right protocol is made | 09:31 |
| Boohbah | ndan: attackers would be able to make incoming connections to those forwarded ports and potentially exploit a vulnerability in your torrent client listening on a port | 09:31 |
| clarence | I tried use language Support but it was no reponse | 09:31 |
| swayed | Open a .pdf file earlier and it took over my whole screen - could not see applications tray or anything and no "X" in top right corner to close - I used < ctrl + alt + backspace > Is that the only thing I could have done when this happened ? - Had to log off.... ? | 09:32 |
| lili_ | clarence ,you should update you source pool | 09:32 |
| jeremy_ | i keep forgetting that some of the shortcuts doesnt work when i use synergy | 09:32 |
| moncky | kepi: udp isnt any faster, it just spews the packes out regardless of whether there is anything listening at the otherend | 09:32 |
| Boohbah | ndan: but i'd say it's very low risk | 09:32 |
| jeremy_ | direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 09:32 |
| jeremy_ | whats that mean ? | 09:32 |
| aimnano | swayed: try alt + f4 next time | 09:32 |
| aimnano | swayed: it closes windows | 09:32 |
| Boohbah | kepi: what do you mean? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ndan: the router forwards the traffic to the socket on your system where the torrent client runs. Then what Boohbah said | 09:32 |
| clarence | I'm updating | 09:32 |
| ndan | well i know there are port sniffers n such and peeps that randomly connect to places ie my ip is listed right here.... so there's no protection? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jeremy_: your video driver is not installed | 09:32 |
| lstarnes | kepi: udp is fast but for many applications it is too unreliable. tcp is slightly slower due to overhead used partly by features used to increase its reliability | 09:32 |
| kepi | booh, for transfering files | 09:32 |
| swayed | aimnano, Thanks - that's one for the notebook - appreciate it.... | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ndan: its the problem with port forwards | 09:33 |
| Boohbah | kepi: because it's unreliable. UDP is better for things like VoIP which require low latency rather than guaranteed delivery | 09:33 |
| ndan | cool thank ya'll. just thought i'd ask | 09:33 |
| ne2k__ | swayed: did alt-tab not work? | 09:33 |
| kepi | damn, i like fast, heard bittorent are working on it | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ndan: the port on your system is available to the world and his dog | 09:33 |
| Ultraputz | having followed these instructions http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-fix-usplash-in-ubuntu-810.html to install this usplash theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/SimplyLine+for+Intrepid?content=95555 -- i am now getting a blank screen at boot. system comes up fine using 'normal boot' in recovery mode (sidestepping usplash) | 09:33 |
| jeremy_ | i have a SiS 315 PRO AGP/PCI ... but its not listed in the screens and grpahis gui | 09:33 |
| kepi | ok, booh | 09:34 |
| lili_ | clarence , which source are you slected | 09:34 |
| ne2k__ | swayed: or you could alt-f2 and run xkill | 09:34 |
| Ultraputz | question is: how to get back to default | 09:34 |
| swayed | aimnano, I know of alt + f2 - brings up Run window - so another tricky little alt - f key combo - great! | 09:34 |
| jeremy_ | graphics even* | 09:34 |
| ndan | see that's why i was thinking bsd might be sweet... one can create a sandboxed which is exposed to the net and theoretically your core system is completely seperate --- so i read | 09:34 |
| clarence | ndan, really? | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ndan: personally ive never had to open ports for torrents | 09:34 |
| aimnano | swayed: and like ne2k mentioned...alt + tab cycles through your open windows | 09:34 |
| ndan | clarence: aye twas the name of my father n his father before me | 09:34 |
| ne2k__ | ActionParsnip: nor I | 09:35 |
| jeremy_ | you have to forward your ports from your router | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ndan: it can be done that way, its fun to try | 09:35 |
| jeremy_ | or thats what ive al;ways had to do | 09:35 |
| swayed | aimnano, Cool Cool - good stuff :o) | 09:35 |
| MatBoy | is there a way to restart the soundcard after a suspend ? I don't get any sound after a suspend :S | 09:35 |

| reid | file system check | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | 09:38 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 09:38 |
| MatBoy | ActionParsnip: ok | 09:38 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | no, reid actually cussed in the next entry | 09:38 |
| clarence | lili_, just use sudo apt-get update | 09:38 |
| aimnano | Now that's a cool feature. | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | aimnano: what is? | 09:38 |
| aimnano | !grep | 09:38 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 09:38 |
| ne2k__ | WindmillObsesse1: oh, I didn't see that ;-) hehe | 09:38 |

| phimic | hi all | 09:47 |
| Boohbah | chriscohen: does sudo change the result? | 09:47 |
| reid | !gksudo | 09:47 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:47 |
| phimic | i have a problem with cron daemon | 09:47 |
| Boohbah | chriscohen: if not, check /etc/crontab and the /etc/cron.* directories | 09:47 |
| phimic | all scripts in /etc/cron.d/ will not be executed | 09:48 |
| chriscohen | Boohbah no unfortunately not - i have run crontab -l on all users on the system including root | 09:48 |

| WindmillObsesse1 | wait a second, ActionParsnip, if I am logged in on another server as this username, will this server still recognize that username as logged in? | 09:49 |
| maxagaz | ActionParsnip, what do you mean ? | 09:50 |
| === newUser is now known as nosy | ||
| hazrpg | Can someone help me? I'd like to know the best way to backup ubuntu (I've managed to rid myself of windows fully, but I now want to format the HDD to have just linux) | 09:50 |
| hazrpg | I've seen many different ways, both CLI and GUI, but which would you consider the best way? | 09:51 |
| ikonia | hazrpg: backup your personal data - then re-install, the backup technique is the same as any OS at a high level | 09:51 |
| ikonia | hazrpg: cli/gui makes no difference it's what applications YOU like to use | 09:51 |
| hazrpg | I'm fine using either lol. And as for personal data, most of that is already done... I just want to tar/zip/compress the whole linux partition and then unpack after the format keeping all settings and installs | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | maxagaz: do you not have the terminal control? | 09:53 |
| aimnano | hazrpg: Why not just delete your windows partition, then extend your linux partition to fill the space. It wouldn't require you to backup/reinstall and can be done with a simple GParted LiveCD? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | hazrpg: that's not really a sound idea | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | maxagaz: can you not type in the remote terminal while firefox runs? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | hazrpg: if you must do it, use tar with the local file systems only and preserve permissions options, | 09:54 |
| maxagaz | ActionParsnip, yes i can | 09:54 |
| chriscohen | ActionParsnip, Boohbah - i found it, thanks for the help | 09:54 |
| hazrpg | ikonia: How do ya mean? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | maxagaz: then type logoff or exit and it will die. does that not work? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | hazrpg: I mean use the follow local file systems only and preserve permisisons options | 09:55 |
| Boohbah | hazrpg: an alternative may be to reformat the old windows partition and mount it as a new partition in ubuntu | 09:55 |
| pascal__ | in #ubuntu-de | 09:55 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | ActionParsnip, if I am logged in on another server as this username, will this server still recognize that username as logged in? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | yes | 09:55 |
| ikonia | as you are still logged into the local server | 09:56 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | hm. | 09:56 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | Does anybody know how to log into two servers as the same username on pidgin? | 09:56 |
| hazrpg | aimnano: I did think about that, but I need to change a few things in the partition table (currently 4 primary partitions, 1 winXP, 1 winVistaRecovery (already removed), 1 ubuntu (which i really need to make into 2 or 3 partitions alone /home / and swap), etc | 09:56 |
| ziroday | WindmillObsesse1: why? | 09:57 |
| ikonia | WindmillObsesse1: you can't | 09:57 |
| ikonia | WindmillObsesse1: an account maybe logged in from one place only | 09:57 |
| thechief | hey guys | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | WindmillObsesse1: add a new account with the different server name but use the same username | 09:58 |
| hazrpg | I tried to remove vista slowly, so what i did was kept the recovery just in case, and then put winXP... at which point over time I thought to myself "wait, i haven't gone into windows for like a month, do i need it?" | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: its a different server, not a different cannel | 09:58 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | Actionparsnip: did that; Ikonia: thanks | 09:58 |
| maxagaz | ActionParsnip, this doesn't work => ssh user@client "export DISPLAY=:0 ; nohup firefox ; logoff" | 09:58 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: you can't login to the same pidgin accounts from two places no matter if it's on 200 different servers | 09:58 |
| Ethan | 09:58 | |
| thechief | whats happening tonight? | 09:59 |
| Boohbah | thechief: people are chatting on the internet | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: if you logon with the same account to the same server it will change the name. I thought he wanted to connect to many servers using the same name which is totally doable | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | maxagaz: you misunderstood | 09:59 |
| brainac0cult | k | 09:59 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: haha, turns out it works | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | maxagaz: one you close firefox do you get control of the remote terminal back and can type into it | 10:00 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | ActionParsnip, "she" does | 10:00 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | *it's just not working... | 10:00 |
| hazrpg | erm, would it be best if i backed up /home and just reinstalled everything? (fresh install always seems to be best) | 10:01 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: the problem was that clonezilla wanted to reinstall grub, couldt (still have no idea why), but since it succesfully made a clone, a functioning grub was already there, making the reinstall of grub unneccessary | 10:01 |
| linduxed | ActionParsnip: thx for the help anyway | 10:01 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | ActionParsnip, Ikonia, does the ip have anything to do with anything? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | linduxed: niceone duder | 10:02 |
| WindmillObsesse1 | *relative to nicknames.... -.-" | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | WindmillObsesse1: so to clarify, you want to connect to irc server A as foo and then connect to irc server B as foo also | 10:03 |

| ActionParsnip | WindmillObsesse1: you will need a seperate account for all the irc servers yu wish to connect to | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | WindmillObsesse1: when you join a room you will need to say which account it uses so pidgin knows what server it is on | 10:06 |
| maxagaz | ActionParsnip, actually the '&' doesn't work when it's in my ssh command line | 10:06 |

| wlodi | Xcell: thx, I'll do that | 10:39 |
| ikonia | brEz-: I'd ask the spark support process | 10:39 |

| ikonia | brEz-: maybe explain it a little more detail, eg: the desktop your using, the distro, the versions, even to the point of the theme you're using | 10:40 |
| TheShahFactor | thht: yes you are right , i have tried fedora and suse but ubuntu seems much better | 10:40 |

| xiU | hello | 11:07 |
| xiU | i have just a small question :P | 11:07 |
| basileus | xiU: go ahead | 11:08 |
| xiU | is it possible to connect to an exchange 2007 server with evolution mail ? I'm a newbie in Ubuntu and google didn't help me | 11:09 |
| bredoto | I have few questions about configuring pptpd ? does anybody know how what iptables rules i must setup on my vpn server for corect redirecting traffic between eth0 (outbound) and ppp* (internal network) | 11:09 |
| bredoto | ups | 11:10 |
| iceroot | tea_ovedose: installed with apt-get? | 11:10 |
| oCean_ | xiU: I think so, at least there is the servertype option "MS Exchange" when setting up a new account | 11:11 |
| xiU | that's right | 11:11 |
| tea_ovedose | iceroot: via .deb I'd unisntalled it via S.P.M but there's still alot of trash left behind | 11:12 |
| xiU | but this option only supports ms exchange 2000 to 2003 | 11:12 |
| xiU | not 2007 | 11:12 |
| xiU | that's my problem :\ | 11:12 |
| oCean_ | xiU: it definitely supports IMAP, in case the exchangeserver has enabled IMAP, you can use that as well | 11:12 |
| iceroot | tea_ovedose: sudo apt-get purge paketae will remove the program and all of its config | 11:12 |
| xiU | imap isn't enabled, I think | 11:12 |
| iceroot | tea_ovedose: sudo apt-get purge programname will remove the program and all of its config | 11:12 |

| Neremor | i've upgraded my kubuntu to jaunty an hour ago (i think the desktop environment isn't relevant for my problem). During the upgrade, i was told that the fglrx driver for my ati card isn't supported in jaunty and that it will be uninstalled. i proceeded the installation and everything finished all right. i rebooted and, like i expected from ubuntu, everything worked perfectly. except fglrx, that was uninstalled. i was using the mesa driver as | 12:02 |
| Neremor | default, and a look into my xorg.conf told me, that my very big xorg.conf i had befor the upgrade was deleted and replaced by a very simple one. So, i tried to install fglrx again with "sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver-xorg"... It installed and i replaced the "Driver "ati"" in the xorg.conf with "Driver "fglrx"", like i had to in intrepid... I rebooted the system. The system crashes when it tries to show kdm. The keyboard is unusable (no | 12:02 |
| Neremor | pushs accepted) and the display shows a complete mess of multi-colored lines and kubuntu-logos. The only thing i can do is using the power-button on my pc. the question is: Do i have to configure anything else to use fglrx? or at least: is it supported right now? I need the driver, because (k)ubuntu is really slow without it... thanks in advance for your help :) | 12:02 |

| taev | Hello all: is the a correct place to get help with ubuntu? | 15:26 |
| bencrisford | vaporize: i just know these things | 15:26 |
| atmospherian | bencrisford: "gnome-loog.org" :) | 15:26 |
| bencrisford | ;) | 15:26 |
| bencrisford | atmospherian: typo, sorry | 15:26 |
| Vaporize | lol anyone else who DOES know the differences :P | 15:26 |
| bencrisford | vaporize: i never claimed i did, i just said they were ther ;) | 15:26 |
| atmospherian | bencrisford: no worries | 15:27 |
| Vaporize | cause if ubuntu is just some hyped debian it would be kinda lame | 15:27 |
| Vaporize | and i'm pretty sure it isn't due it's popularity | 15:27 |
| bencrisford | vaporize: debian is oldchool ubuntu is the new kid on the block :D | 15:27 |
| taev | I'll assume it is. I'm trying to forward an X session from a remote machine to my 8.10 system. I've fixed the TCPnoListen in gdm.conf and I've ssh'ed into the remote machine with the -X option, but it still doesn't work | 15:27 |

| J_P | how I change language of my firefox if don't have mozilla-firefox-locale-pt-br ? | 15:28 |
| thiebaude | Vaporize: i heard debian is more stable | 15:28 |
| taev | debian is the upstream distro that ubuntu is based on | 15:28 |
| bencrisford | vaporize: Meh, ubuntu logo looks cooler :D | 15:28 |
| taev | which means that ubuntu is a customized and improved (for various meanings of "improve") version of debian | 15:29 |
| atmospherian | anyone else using wmii? | 15:29 |
| bencrisford | vaporize: The cooler looks in ubuntu are good enough reason for me to use it :D:D:D | 15:30 |
| J_P | anyone know why 8.10 don't have mozilla-firefox-locale-pt-br ? apt-cache search mozilla-firefox-locale-pt-br show nothing! | 15:30 |
| Vaporize | i'm using ion3 go for that :P | 15:30 |
| grawity | J_P: maybe just 'firefox-locale-pt-br' ? | 15:30 |
| sketchykid | does anyone know how i get my dvd's to play through Kaffiene? | 15:31 |
| atmospherian | Vaporize: i looked at ion3, but i found wmii to be easier to use, IMO | 15:31 |
| atmospherian | Vaporize: plus i've read that the author of ion3 is a real dick | 15:31 |
| Vaporize | i think it's a matter of what your used to | 15:31 |
| alanbshepard70 | taev: Thanks for the suggestion but still doesn't work :-\ | 15:31 |
| Vaporize | i've been using ion3 for half a year or so and then started to try out some other tiling window managers | 15:32 |
| J_P | grawity: this is strange too. becouse firefox has any locale. A apt-cache search firefox | grep -i locale show nothing! | 15:32 |
| Vaporize | i'm just used to the keybinds and stuff of ion3 | 15:32 |
| bencrisford | atmospherian: i'm the author of ion3.... | 15:32 |
| atmospherian | bencrisford: i doubt that | 15:33 |
| bencrisford | atmospherian: why am i not a dick :P? | 15:33 |
| Vaporize | and i'm not sure if it was wmii but of some i didn't like the fact that they are tiling but also support some floating windows | 15:33 |
| atmospherian | Vaporize: yeah wmii does support floating windows, which does go against the whole idea of tiling | 15:33 |

I while installing ubuntu i deleted the recovery partition and extended and moved the windows to the left. The repair partition was initially the most left partition. I now have 100GB partition for vista, 80GB partition for ubuntu, 8GB Swap and another partition for data. Problem is since d | 15:37 |

| stodorovic | djtoast: have you tried it? have you read the man page for bash - it might have errata there about nested esac | 15:54 |
| hacker07 | when I was using ubuntu with my pci wifi it messed up my router | 15:54 |
| Ruut | I don't remember, I've been using WinXP since 3 years ago | 15:55 |
| hacker07 | but that is all good since I use wired | 15:55 |
| sebsebseb | mart1: ok did sound ever work? | 15:55 |
| IRiX_ | taev: just tried that, root (hd0, gave an output of 3 partitions 1 ext2fs and the other 2 unknown | 15:55 |
| hacker07 | is there any good msn clients other than aMSN | 15:55 |
| mart1 | yes it did W/ win 98 &xp | 15:55 |

| foey | quick question - Im currently running Ubuntu 64 beta and half the programs I wish to install such as Skype, Filezilla e.t.c do not run/install due to there being no 64bit builds. Revert back to 32bit? Running a X6800 with 6Gb of RAM | 15:55 |
| hacker07 | pidgin sucks | 15:55 |
| IRiX_ | taev: i take it windows is either one of the other 2 | 15:55 |
| ktulu77 | hacker07, pidgin | 15:55 |
| grawity | hacker07: Reasons? | 15:56 |
| djtoast | stodorovid: Im testing now.. i got past my issue ... was missing a ; ... you know how it goes one little error gives wierd resutls :) But i will definatly look into bash (Using ksh for my script) | 15:56 |
| hacker07 | dose kmess support voice conference | 15:56 |
| hacker07 | does | 15:56 |
| sebsebseb | hacker07: and if you got Java installed you can get Mercury Messenger, only one guy made it, closed source, may be a bit buggy at times, but it can suppourt like all MSN features and it's own stuff | 15:56 |
| grawity | ... Okay, so I am trying to run Ubuntu inside Micros~1 Virtual PC 2007. (No, please don't suggest VirtualBox.) Anyway, it seems to crash immediately after the boot menu, and the "trace" scrolls by so fast I don't see what happened. It does show something about paravirtualization. | 15:56 |
| ktulu77 | foey, I have skype on 64bit | 15:56 |
| calc | foey: there are 32bit compat libs that you can install | 15:56 |
| hacker07 | thanls | 15:56 |
| hacker07 | thanks | 15:56 |
| sebsebseb | grawity: lol please don't suggest Virtualbox? ha ha | 15:56 |
| rujin | is anyone familiar with a website where you can put in commands to terminal that would auto install programs/plug-ins? | 15:56 |
| sebsebseb | grawity: I have an idea why you may be saying that, but I want to know, so why? | 15:56 |
| stodorovic | djtoast: oh right. I foolishly assumed you were using bash. The ksh man page might have more info, but as you say, you fixed it :) | 15:57 |
| calc | foey: and uh filezilla is packaged for ubuntu 64bit | 15:57 |
| foey | calc: is this ok to use for 32bit apps and do they run without a problem? | 15:57 |
| calc | foey: yea, but generally its better to use 64bit version when available, it uses less ram that way | 15:57 |
| stodorovic | calc: how so | 15:57 |

| Pici | stodorovic: Actually, its -14 now. | 16:02 |

| Ruut | taev I didnt mean to be rude.. | 16:02 |
| calc | Rubyst: use smartmontools to do a smart test, or the vendors test utility | 16:02 |

| taev | brand/model? | 16:03 |
| Ruut | acer travelmate 290 | 16:03 |

| unitedpotsmokers | good nite hchufeng | 16:06 |

So I press okay. It starts to update, when it just disappears, doesn't make any error message or update. I get the same error box next time I run the update manager. Anyone know how to fix this? | 16:10 |
| exosyst | Picassotamus: After the last update, I thought i'd install some codecs via Add/Remove in Applications menu. It just, uhm, doesnt have anything :S | 16:10 |

| Ruut | thanks.. | 16:10 |
| calc | Rubyst: i private messaged you how to do it, but make sure not to try it unless you have backed up all the data on the drive from all partitions as it will erase it completely | 16:10 |
| Picassotamus | exosyst: It doesn't have anything? or no codecs? | 16:12 |
| exosyst | Nothing. | 16:12 |

| Picassotamus | exosyst: Could be a bug... or the packages site is down... or update manager(aptitude?) is bugging | 16:15 |

| z00m | hi, this is abit off topic but does anyone know if there is a tool that after a fresh windows install it will scan your computer and find all the drivers in needs for the hardware then download them off the net ? | 16:45 |
| daftykins | none that i would trust or allow z00m, no | 16:45 |
| daftykins | are you having trouble identifying hardware? | 16:45 |
| QpSmiley | if i try to install the NVIDIA drivers my computer goes into low gfx mode | 16:46 |
| z00m | daftykins, no m8. Im just about to format an old pc i have but i dont have all the drivers for the hardware so i was thinking there must be something online that would ident all the hardware and supply links to the drivers or even download them for me. | 16:46 |
| ianh99 | ogelami, try mkdir /tmp/newdisk then sudo mount /dev/sdnn /tmp/newdisk where nn is the device letter and number | 16:47 |
| z00m | so if anyone is a coder in here, if you want to be rich make one spyware free :) | 16:47 |
| daftykins | z00m just read device manager and write down all the important stuff, i sometimes use an Ubuntu LiveCD to identify hardware after that point too - very useful. but no, it's easy to find 99% of stuff from manufacturer websites. | 16:47 |

| z00m | sachael, wouldnt worry about anti virus on linux | 16:49 |

| ubottu | Zedde: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 16:49 |
| sachael | grawity, daftykins, the IT center of my university thinks that my computer is infected (i live in a dorm). To unlock my internet access, i need to scan my system | 16:49 |
| grawity | sachael: hmm. Try ClamAV | 16:49 |
| ianh99 | jtgiri, I think it's sudo adduser sandboxdev www-data | 16:50 |
| Zedde | thanks | 16:50 |
| daftykins | sachael, phone them up and say you run Linux - so you can't have a virus - then ask exactly what they think your computer is doing that's nefarious activity | 16:50 |
| z00m | sachael, did you tell them its linux and linux doesnt have viruses :D | 16:50 |
| QpSmiley | my driver is forcing my graphics card to load in low graphics mode anyone wanna look into it? | 16:50 |

| z00m | daftykins, im turning an old pc into an FTP server for friends and family. Is there anything available on Linux for an FTP with a GUI HTTP front end for them to connect to it ? | 16:53 |
| daftykins | nothing that i'm aware of i'm afraid, i don't know of any ftp servers - though i'd run "apt-cache search ftp" to find out | 16:53 |
| daftykins | ok silly results to that z00m XD maybe "apt-cache search ftp server" is a bit more feasible | 16:54 |
| z00m | see there is software for windows called serv-U ftp its an FTP server and sets up an HTTP front end for logins also and access | 16:54 |
| daftykins | yeah, i've come across that in the past | 16:54 |
| daftykins | though these days i run Gene6 FTP server from a windows file server | 16:54 |
| daftykins | were i able to convert that to Linux, i wouldn't really need to run an FTP anymore as i would use SCP over SSH instead | 16:55 |
| grawity | z00m: All browsers support FTP, why would you need a "HTTP front-end" for that? | 16:55 |
| daftykins | he means to configure i'd expect, grawity | 16:55 |
| z00m | grawity, yeah i know you can use browser for access but serv-u ftp give them a nice login screen via HTTP:// and also the tools to upload / download. they would have to use and FTP:// url otherwise | 16:56 |
| z00m | i just wanted it to be easy for them, they dont know that much about computers or the net | 16:56 |
| z00m | grawity, like this ive got it up atm | 16:57 |

| sipior | mthomps: a record of all the packages you deleted can probably be found in /var/log/apt/term.log. you can work through that, adding packages back as you find them. | 17:49 |
| jmcdowell | mthomps : You have to install the alsa mixer and all that sort of stuff.. I don't think you need to install the source unless you intend to build it. | 17:49 |
| Jeruvy | chrisdone: I haven't used 'service' on ubuntu (and it doesn't exist for me), I was curious. | 17:49 |
| mrb__ | Triple boot help UBUNTU, OS X and VISTA plz ?!!! | 17:49 |
| chrisdone | Jeruvy: I think it comes with Intrepid and over. are you on something older? | 17:49 |
| mthomps | i just tried the force-reload command | 17:49 |
| mthomps | let me try it now | 17:49 |
| jmcdowell | mthomps : alsa-mixer alsa-utils | 17:50 |
| eseven73 | mthomps, that force command won't work until you get all the alsa stuff installed | 17:50 |
| jmcdowell | mthomps : everything related SHOULD follow the mixer, just let ubuntu select what it thinks it needs. | 17:50 |
| mthomps | ok so i need the mixer | 17:50 |
| jmcdowell | anyone in here familiar with klibc? ;} | 17:50 |
| mthomps | i did the force command | 17:51 |
| mthomps | and the test in the gui works | 17:51 |
| mthomps | but youtube and other sounds dont still | 17:51 |
| sipior | jmcdowell: best just to ask your question directly :-) | 17:51 |
| Xcell | if i install 8.10...can i just make alsa the master? | 17:51 |
| mthomps | so i need to install alsa-mixer and alsa-utils correct? | 17:51 |
| eseven73 | oh that's a flash issue | 17:51 |
| jmcdowell | mthomps : sounds like you are using the OSS compat module | 17:51 |
| Jeruvy | chrisdone: I am only using LTS, I have jaunty but I didn't check there. | 17:51 |
| jmcdowell | mthomps : only one device at a time.. | 17:51 |
| eseven73 | mthomps, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras should work, then restart firefox, and set everything in sound options to ALSA | 17:51 |
| mthomps | hang on guys, now ther eis a repeated bleep through my headphones | 17:51 |

| QpSmiley | so now I tried reinstalling ubuntu and then updating and then trying all the NVIDIA drivers 96,173,177,180 | 18:12 |
| QpSmiley | nothing worked | 18:13 |
| mthomps | so why are there so many options on the prefernces menu, for example there is HDA Intell ALC888 anolog(alsa) and then the same thing but (oss) and then there are three identical HDA Intell ALC888 (oss) options | 18:13 |
| mthomps | but they are all identical | 18:13 |
| eseven73 | mthomps, because linux is about choice :) | 18:13 |

| IRiX_ | blackdemon: like it was working yester or the day before so i think its an update been trying to get ubuntu to run on me laptop | 18:14 |
| sipior | eseven73: out of curiosity, if that guy had changed his nick to something without the letters "afk" in them, would you have still sent the factoid? if not, why not? | 18:14 |
| mthomps | what im thinking is that its so different sources can play back audio at the same time? | 18:14 |

| lukjad007 | Hi all! | 18:47 |
| Rabbitbunny | IHS_Intern: you created the mirror? | 18:47 |
| mobi-sheep | tsLight: No. You'd have to back up your settings + preferences + configs. Then go amd64. | 18:47 |
| IHS_Intern | Rabbitbunny: yeah | 18:47 |
| eseven73 | tsLight, I think for that to work you'd need a separate /home partition | 18:47 |

| ubottu | haytham-med: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 18:49 |

| imachine | Krine11, then drag the panel in place and add the trash applet like grawity told you to | 19:27 |
| Krine11 | ok than thanks so much i got it working again | 19:27 |
| imachine | cheers | 19:27 |

| imachine | jdwarta, sometimes it's faster to just pass the IP address of the PC sharing the printer. | 19:28 |
| imachine | jdwarta, try that. | 19:28 |
| jdwarta | through a router | 19:28 |
| Krine11 | ok, how can i add the old programs that i had in that bottem panal back? | 19:28 |

| jdwarta | it isnt connected to the internet | 19:28 |

| Ownatik | Hi, I installed PySDM yesterday (a gui to edit fstab) and almost changed nothing (just enabling mounting by all users). Now, when I try to boot ubuntu, I get and error with mtab with lots of permission denied and it stops there. Anyone knows how to fix this? | 19:31 |
| Rabbitbunny | roel_: "ps ax", "kill -9 <pid>" | 19:31 |
| Majora | anyone have any problems involving peripherals (mouse, keyboard) that randomly decide to stop working? I suspect it may be due to the update as it started doing that after I updated. | 19:31 |
| imachine | Ownatik, thats not how you enable mounting by all users in any of recent Ubuntu distros. | 19:32 |
| roel_ | Rabbitbunny, wasn't there an option using the GUI? | 19:32 |
| histo | imachine: can you still download the 71.86 drivers from nvidia and just use their installer? | 19:32 |
| Rabbitbunny | roel_: Maybe, but i don't know it. | 19:32 |
| QpSmiley | So it looks like my graphics driver isnt initializing the GLX anyway to help that | 19:32 |
| imachine | histo, aye, but I'd rather have it automated. | 19:32 |

| imachine | QpSmiley, dmesg, /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:32 |

| histo | imachine: I have no idea about the error your getting though wish I could help more. | 19:32 |
| Ownatik | imachine: maybe, i promise I wont do it again... now do oyou know how I can fix this and boot correctly? | 19:32 |
| histo | Have to reboot | 19:32 |
| jdwarta | how do i determine the IP address of the other computer w/o connecting to the internet? | 19:32 |
| imachine | Ienorand, already there. it's not that case anyway. | 19:33 |
| imachine | Ownatik, bring it back to normal. run a livecd, mount your /, edit fstab back to how it was, reboot. | 19:33 |

| QpSmiley | yea i dont think thats it | 19:33 |

| kimec | pepole, I am totally lost. During Ubuntu 804/810/904install the partitioner does not show me any previous windows partitions. More over it says that no os is installed on the disk, which is not true. I did some googling but without answer. | 19:34 |

| blackdemon | but if you type "ipconfig" (for windows, ifconfig for linux) you can see the ip adress it has | 19:38 |
| Rabbitbunny | blackdemon: that's what it was! | 19:38 |
| Rabbitbunny | (the command) | 19:38 |
| jdwarta | the ipconfig thing pops up, then disappears to fast for me to read it | 19:39 |
| Rabbitbunny | jdwarta: type cmd in the run box, it'll keep that window open | 19:39 |
| blackdemon | I know :p | 19:39 |
| jdwarta | what's a static IP | 19:39 |
| blackdemon | an ip adress that doesn't change | 19:40 |
| blackdemon | but if you work with a dhcp-server, the computer gets the ip automaticly (your case) | 19:40 |
| jdwarta | so i should type ipconfig->cmd ? | 19:40 |
| rogle | I'm running 8.04 LTS. If I assign a static IP the machine takes approximately 12 minutes to boot. If I set it to get its IP via DHCP it boots in about 2 minutes. How can I correct this? | 19:40 |
| jdwarta | in the run box | 19:40 |
| blackdemon | no, you type "cmd" | 19:41 |
| blackdemon | a command prompt will open | 19:41 |
| jdwarta | ok | 19:41 |
| blackdemon | there you type "ipconfig" | 19:41 |
| jdwarta | then i type ipconfig | 19:41 |
| jdwarta | right? | 19:41 |
| CoJaBo-Dell | Is there a way to reduce the chance of data loss during crash when using a Wubi install? | 19:41 |
| Skaperen | rogle: is the IP address you assigned a valid one for your network's IP subnet range? | 19:41 |
| blackdemon | yep | 19:41 |
| jdwarta | ok brb | 19:42 |
| Skaperen | rogle: you may need to also set up the IP addresses of DNS servers ... the long boot could be from programs doing DNS queries that don't end up going to the proper DNS servers | 19:42 |
| QpSmiley | brb trying 2 restart | 19:43 |
| Skaperen | rogle: DHCP will set up the DNS references at the same time it sets up the IP assignment ... when not using DHCP you won't get the DNS server references (1 to 3 IPs for the DNS servers) either | 19:44 |

| pqb | Rabbitbunny: how do I find the model out in Ubuntu? (new to this) | 19:57 |

| silner | Whoaah! the number of participants seems to double every time I come back. I admit it can be awhile between visits but this is amazing. | 20:00 |
| Rabbitbunny | Hassanakevazir: Yeah, but his dmesg ought to have a blaring "omg it didnt work" he can quickly find. | 20:00 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: try to manually mount the new partition ... tell me the device name and which partition number so I can give you a literal command | 20:00 |
| pqb | Rabbitbunny: pqb: dmesg And then? There's a whole lot of data there. | 20:01 |

| rogle | does the e1000e.ko driver need any "helper" modules before it can run? | 20:05 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: when done, unmount with this: umount /tmp/sdb1 | 20:06 |
| Im_Toast | mkdir: Cannot create directory, 'tmp/sdb1' already exists | 20:06 |
| QpSmiley | so my gfx card still isnt fixed | 20:06 |
| whodevil | I have ubuntu on a laptop, I can dim the screen, but as soon as I move the mouse it brings it back up to full brightness. any ideas on how to fix this? | 20:06 |
| Im_Toast | Skaperen: mkdir: Cannot create directory, 'tmp/sdb1' already exists | 20:06 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: OK, then the directory already exists ... see if the mount worked | 20:06 |
| Im_Toast | Skaperen: Still can't access it | 20:06 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: so the mount failed? got a message for the mount failing? | 20:07 |
| Im_Toast | Skaperen: No | 20:07 |
| Im_Toast | Skaperen: all I got was the mkdir message | 20:07 |

| Im_Toast | oops | 20:07 |
| Im_Toast | rofl | 20:07 |
| Im_Toast | it's still waiting for my password | 20:07 |

| z00m | how do i see a list of running processes on my system in the terminal ? | 20:10 |
| doleyb | z00m: ps afx | 20:10 |
| clancy | pstree | 20:10 |
| z00m | ok thanks doleyb | 20:10 |
| Skaperen | Skaperen: in the terminal window, do this: sudo /bin/bash | 20:10 |
| Im_Toast | z00m: I know 'top' shows you the top I think it's 10 | 20:10 |
| Skaperen | Skaperen: then do: mkdir /tmp/sdb1 | 20:10 |
| g4lt-lappy | clancy, syslogd is kinda important, it controls the logging of kernel events | 20:10 |
| aaronator | is there any reason to have folders from old kernels in /usr/src? | 20:10 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: then do: mkdir /tmp/sdb1 | 20:10 |
| Im_Toast | Skaperen: It tells me the file is already there again =\ | 20:11 |
| clancy | g4lt-lappy, it just writes down what the kernel does right? | 20:11 |
| * Skaperen needs a new IRC client ... irssi is really too much trouble | 20:11 | |
| Harkins | I've got /etc/apt/sources.list set up (http://gist.github.com/92674) but 'apt-get install mplayer' just says "Package mplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package." What am I missing? | 20:11 |
| gelka | /join #ubuntu-hu | 20:11 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: do: ls -ld /tmp/sdb1 | 20:12 |
| g4lt-lappy | clancy, not just, that's the least of waht it does. it also logs trivial things like login attempts, etc | 20:12 |
| bad_cables | i am having a really hard time recording the stereo mix with ubuntu alsa | 20:13 |
| clancy | should cron anacron and atd also be enabled? | 20:13 |
| bad_cables | i have no option for "stereo mix" in the recording panel | 20:13 |
| z00m | Im_Toast, is there anyway to see what user is running each process with ps ? | 20:13 |
| bad_cables | i have looked at many tutorials and they all talk about sound servers other than alsa | 20:13 |
| Harkins | ah, just found it, I only specified 'multiverse' on the backports. :p | 20:13 |
| g4lt-lappy | clancy, you know, perhaps you ought to do some reading of manpages before willy-illy killing off system processes | 20:13 |
| tgunr | z00m: mman ps | 20:14 |
| g4lt-lappy | everything oyu mentioned has a rather extensive manpage explaining what it does | 20:14 |

| whodevil | Skaperen: try weechat | 20:14 |
| z00m | tgunr, ok thanks | 20:14 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: you did the "sudo /bin/bash" command? | 20:14 |

| Im_Toast | Skaperen: When was I supposed to do that | 20:15 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: some while back when my IRC client was messing up my messages | 20:15 |
| whodevil | Skaperen: yes, looks similar to irssi, but has different functionality | 20:15 |
| klemmer19 | hello all - wondering if anyone might know anything about the VIA VT8237 SATA Controller - and its lack of support with 8.10 | 20:15 |
| tyler | anyone know why my bluetooth suddenly stopped working? | 20:16 |
| Skaperen | whodevil: I need explicit key binding capability | 20:16 |
| Im_Toast | Skaperen: So do that now? | 20:16 |
| Skaperen | whodevil: I will look into that | 20:16 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: sure, go ahead: sudo /bin/bash | 20:16 |
| Im_Toast | kk | 20:16 |
| rogle | skaperen: I'm using chatzilla...and it seems to work well. | 20:16 |

| bad_cables | is anyone good with alsa?? | 20:17 |
| * Skaperen runs his IRC under screen so he can move around | 20:17 | |
| whodevil | Skaperen: I use irssi, just because I have put so much time into scripting it | 20:17 |
| pitanga | I can't use the ER sheet in Dia for Ubuntu 8.10, despite the .sheet file being in /usr/share/dia/sheets. Has anyone come across this situation? | 20:17 |

| === gaintsura_ is now known as gaintsura | ||
| Skaperen | whodevil: maybe you can help me make irssi work ... I need to get it to do emacs-style command line editing | 20:17 |
| Skaperen | whodevil: "out of the box" it does it half way ... which is worse than not at all | 20:18 |
| whodevil | Skaperen: sure, but I'm a vi user, so I don't really know how the emacs does things | 20:18 |
| QpSmiley | i think ubuntu hates me | 20:18 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: try the mount again: mount -r /dev/sdb1 /tmp/sdb1 | 20:18 |
| whodevil | Skaperen: what specifically do you need it to do? | 20:18 |
| Skaperen | whodevil: lots of different keybindings to various actions ... like ^p to do the same as an up arrow, ^n to do the same as a down arrow | 20:19 |

| Pici | Skaperen: /help bind | 20:20 |
| Skaperen | whodevil: ^b to do left arrow, ^f to do right arrow, then some other keys bound to change irssi subwindows | 20:20 |
| Im_Toast | Skaperen: It didn't give any errors | 20:20 |
| Skaperen | Pici: BTDT ... stuff doesn't all work ... apparently some "hard coded" bindings interfere or take priority | 20:20 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: now do: grep sdb /proc/mounts | 20:20 |
| Pici | Skaperen: You could try asking in #irssi too | 20:21 |

| whodevil | Skaperen: so it looks like the /bind command is what you are looking for | 20:21 |
| Skaperen | Pici: also, I've got it all coded into the scripts/config ... so I can run multiple instances refreshed from the original state (so state saves during running do NOT, by intent, make permanent changes) | 20:21 |
| sierinjs_lv | why every time i boot in i have resolution set to 1024x800(when i turned computer off i sat it to 1248x768) | 20:22 |

| * whodevil dinks around with /bind | 20:22 | |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: well, the kernel lets it be mounted ... but something changed enough so that the automatic access in the GUI applications is not recognizing it | 20:23 |

| Im_Toast | Skaperen: unmount: Command not found | 20:23 |

| Im_Toast | Skaperen: So can anything be done so it can find it? It's a little annoying having to pull it out and put it back lol | 20:25 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: you can make "unmount" work by doing: ln -s umount /sbin/unmount | 20:25 |
| Skaperen | Im_Toast: maybe something can ... but it's now beyond my area ... I don't know how all those GUI apps work | 20:25 |

| Rovanion | After reinstalling ubuntu, after that I put in a new graphics card into the computer Ubuntu will no longer detect my sound card. How do I get my sound card working? | 20:35 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: same sound card? did you knock it loose? | 20:35 |
| GreenDelta2 | ok i got it a little bit better, now i can record, but in skype i still dont hear anything... doesnt anybody have an idea? | 20:36 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: It is an onbardd sound card | 20:36 |
| Rovanion | onboard | 20:36 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: are both cards PCI? PCIe? | 20:36 |
| klemmer19 | skybound: I found a fix on via's site for how to batch the 7.04 version to support this but I do not know enough to understand if this would work for 8.10 - could I send you the info and maybe your experience would help a bit more? | 20:36 |
| Pici | tyler: Curious... I don't see it. Did you do a kernel upgrade or similar that might have caused something to change? | 20:37 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: The sound card is on the motherboard and the graphics card is PCIe with bult in HDMI sound | 20:37 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: oh ... hmmm ... well, maybe some kind of hardware conflict ... go into terminal window and do: lspci | 20:37 |
| tyler | Pici, it may have updated kernel by itself? | 20:37 |
| skybound | klemmer19: i've seen that; most likely it wouldn't work for 8.10 | 20:37 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: was there sound in the previous graphics card? | 20:37 |
| Rovanion | Will do Skaperen, shall we open a private chat? | 20:37 |
| Pici | tyler: If you've been applying updates normally, yes, it might have. What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 20:38 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: private chats don't work on my IRC client, yet (yet another issue) | 20:38 |
| Ymse | I get no sound from my Ubuntu PC, whatsoever.....help??? | 20:38 |
| Hassanakevazir | Rovanion, do lspci | grep Audio | 20:38 |
| klemmer19 | skybound: is it actually patching the kernal? would it be best for me then to just install 7.04 if I want to use this SATA chipset? | 20:38 |
| tyler | Pici, 8.10 | 20:38 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: which sound device are you intending to use? the original on-board chip? or the new HDMI sound in the card? | 20:38 |
| eseven73 | private chats in a help chan are kind of frowned upon anyways, see !pm for why... | 20:39 |
| Rovanion | It only lists the ATI card | 20:39 |

| Rovanion | Skaperen: I am going to use the on board card as of that I don't have any way to connect via HDMI | 20:40 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: the ATI card? that's the graphics card HDMI sound? | 20:40 |
| Rovanion | Yes | 20:40 |
| Skaperen | check if the ATI card has a BIOS setup ... if so, maybe you can disable its sound in there | 20:40 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: It is the HDMI sound that is on the ATi graphics card that is listed with lspci | 20:40 |

| solexious | Hello, I want to add a line to apt.conf but ubuntu uses a apt.conf.d folder, I added the line to one of the files in it to use a proxy but it was removed after a reboot. What should I do to stop this? | 20:41 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: How may I enter the BIOS of the card? | 20:41 |
| GreenDelta2 | hello, following problem: i hear myself in the headphones when im speaking in the mic, and when i record something it works perfectly, but not in skype. the sound itself works in skype and the 3 things are on "pulse" but others cant here me | 20:41 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: right ... obviously it has taken over the same sound device address on the logical PCI bus protocol | 20:41 |
| Pici | tyler: What does the output of uname -r say? | 20:41 |
| tyler | 2.6.27-14-generic | 20:41 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: to enter BIOS reboot and do what your computer needs to do BIOS ... watch for any messages ... read documention on the ATI card | 20:41 |
| spaceninja | eseven73: thanks | 20:42 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: it MAY even be a hardware switch or jumper | 20:42 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I want to add support for many exotic languages to my new ubuntu system - not for the operating system, just for displaying web pages, in IRC and whatnot. Is that what the packages like language-pack-af and language-support-za are? | 20:42 |
| Ymse | Hassanek: Oki.....it a VIA Technologies AC97 Controller.... | 20:42 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: and maybe it can only be disabled by using their Windows based utility | 20:42 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: Hmm I will poke around | 20:43 |
| Hassanakevazir | Ymse, ? | 20:43 |
| skybound | klemmer19: yes, that is a binary driver for a 7.10 kernel, it doesn't work for 8.10; do you need to run the controller in RAID mode (not sure if this really makes the difference, but it seems the driver explicitly add raid support)? | 20:43 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: maybe the basic BIOS disabled the on-board sound when it detected a plugged in sound ... maybe it can be overridden to leave it enabled | 20:43 |
| Ymse | You told me to do lspci | grep audio | 20:44 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: Oh there you said something that might fit. I will reboot and check the bios | 20:44 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: Thanks for your help | 20:44 |
| Pici | tyler: Have you tried using an older kernel from the grub list to see if that supports your bt module? | 20:44 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: get familiar with your BIOS ... spend about 30 minutes looking it over | 20:44 |
| Hassanakevazir | Ymse, not you, what was your question anyway? | 20:44 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: but don't change anything you don't understand | 20:44 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: Well it is a | 20:45 |
| tyler | Pici, i would do this how? | 20:45 |
| klemmer19 | skybound: it appears there are two seperate drivers - the one at the top of the page is just for RAID support - it looks like the one at the bottom of the page is more for patching the kernal to gain support so my main drive can actually be on the SATA controller | 20:45 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: Dell BIOS so it's very locked up. I have probably changed around all there is there at earlier points | 20:45 |
| Ymse | Hassan: I can't get no sound from ubuntu... | 20:45 |
| Pici | tyler: When you boot, you get a short 5 second countdown for GRUB, press escape and choose the next (non-recovery) listing down from the top. | 20:45 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: putting in a new card in a Dell is probably a nightmare | 20:46 |

| Skaperen | Rovanion: or ... how about coming back and helping someone else ... pay it forward | 20:47 |
| fault | any help on that? | 20:47 |
| fault | sorry for flooding. | 20:47 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: yes, irssi ... but script generated config files | 20:47 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: Great idea. You know that you change inbetween tabs with alt 1,2 etc | 20:47 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: I don't know what you mean by that | 20:48 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: Alt-1 changes text console for me | 20:48 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: No that would be alt plus F1. Am I correct? | 20:48 |
| Hassanakevazir | Ymse, try googling that name, see what it comes up with, I did take a look and it looks rather grim :/ | 20:49 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: no ... Alt-F1 goes to tty1 ... Alt-1 goes to tty13 | 20:49 |
| cow_2001 | i need a cheesy software to change printer settings | 20:49 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: I have the text consoles hack to do 60 consoles, with console keybindings to map in 60 Alt-keys | 20:49 |
| Rovanion | Skaperen: Alt plus arrows or numbers changes inbetween different chats in irssi. But that might not | 20:49 |
| Rovanion | be your problem | 20:50 |
| tyler | Pici, i did the only other option there and it still doesnt work | 20:50 |
| Skaperen | Rovanion: I'm a power user/developer ... 60 text consoles, 3 instances of X, 32 virtual desktops per X instance | 20:50 |

| skybound | klemmer19: i see, this looks quite scary. strange that the support for this controller never seems to have made it into the kernel | 20:53 |
| klemmer19 | skybound: yes this looks VERY scary for a linux novice like myself - if i use 7.04 is it actually possible to do this before the installation - i plan to only have 1 SATA HD in my system and no IDE HDs - I want everything to be installed on the 1 SATA HD (which needs this patch to work) | 20:55 |

| spaceBARbarian | whats the best way to share a partition between ubuntu and windows ? i tried just using a NTFS partition, but for some reason i always get 'corrupt' directory if i try to access directories copied over from ubuntu | 20:58 |
| Rogir | Today I received the Ubuntu 8.10 cd-rom, at first I tried running it live, all I got was (after the loading screen) a black screen with a few white pixels and no response. Then I tried installing it, and in this case it stuck on a brown screen with a blue empty window on it. I suspect that this is caused by incompatibility with my laptop, but is there anyone with some general advice or... | 20:58 |
| otm | is it safe to delete all the files in /tmp ? | 20:58 |
| Rogir | ...experienced on installing Ubuntu on laptops? | 20:58 |
| usr13 | spaceBARbarian: FAT32 | 20:58 |
| skybound | klemmer19: it is still (and realm of) somewhat possible to install 8.10, but the way i see it, it won't be easy... what do you mean with "possible to do this before the installation..."? Unless you know someone good with linux to help you (physically, not via irc) I think your best bet is to try if a 7.04/7.10 install is possible with the readme.pdf in the link you posted. | 20:58 |
| TommyCorn | i tried using tovid's GUI application, todisc, to burn an mp4 movie to a DVD. however, when i click on the "Run todisc now" button, it asks me if i'm sure i want to burn a DVD, i click yes, and then nothing happens. i haven't found anything on the forums about this particular problem. anyone have any ideas? | 20:58 |

| skybound | klemmer19: then you could force the system to keep the old kernel and try to update everything else to 8.10... this *might* work | 20:59 |
| usr13 | spaceBARbarian: Sure, NTFS works too | 20:59 |
| klemmer19 | skybound: i guess i mean is it possible to do this during the installation - i need the installer to be able to see the drive to install the os to it | 20:59 |

| Pollywog | I have the same problem as Mathias90 | 22:58 |
| Mathias90 | Did anyone understand that ;-) ? | 22:58 |
| elmarcer | @ pollywog. that sucks. I thought nvidia support was top notch. | 22:58 |
| Pollywog | Mathias you need to enable the driver in the System menu | 22:58 |
| Pollywog | the problem is that the GUI tool to do it seems to be broken | 22:59 |
| Mathias90 | Nvidia X server settings? | 22:59 |
| hatter243 | Mathias90, Pollywog, okay what you need to do is run the ubuntu supported NVIDIA drivers and not whatever ones you found on their website | 22:59 |
| === bc` is now known as bctrainers | ||
| Im_Toast | Hey, is there a way to use grep to like I want everything that includes ~ but I don't want anything that has cache | 22:59 |
| === bctrainers is now known as bc` | ||
| Pollywog | hatter243: I am not using anything not from Ubuntu | 22:59 |
| Pollywog | I did not install the ones on their website (Nvidias) | 23:00 |
| Im_Toast | so I can 'locate *~* | grep' but... what would make grep show everything but cache? | 23:00 |
| hatter243 | Mathias90, you also need to ignore that steam window telling you your video drivers are out of date. You're running steam on wine so Steam is looking for a windows video card and will almost never return the proper value | 23:00 |
| Mathias90 | I've downloaded the driver from Nvidias site. Can you link me the right driver? | 23:00 |
| === [domon]_ is now known as [domon] | ||
| hatter243 | Mathias90, System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers. Select the latest version in there | 23:00 |
| mgolisch | Im_Toast: add |grep -v cache ? | 23:00 |
| Pollywog | Mathias use the System menu at the top of Gnome | 23:00 |
| Mathias90 | hatter243 > yeah, but now I can't seem to recover the driver. | 23:00 |
| trinidadflores | what is the best way to back up both thunderbird and firefox? for thunderbird i need to back up my email and settings. for firefox i need to be able to backup my extension and bookmarks. | 23:00 |
| Sh3r1ff | Im_Toast: find . -name "*~*" -exec grep -v "cache" {} \; | 23:00 |
| Im_Toast | Thanks | 23:00 |
| mgolisch | Im_Toast: -v reverses the match it only prints lines not matching that pattern | 23:01 |
| Pollywog | System > Administration > Hardware drivers | 23:01 |
| Pollywog | only for me it does not work | 23:01 |
| Pollywog | I need a command line option | 23:01 |
| ph8 | hi guys, i have two nvidia cards that worked before i formatted and reinstalled ubuntu today (i'm using the same xorg.conf) - i might have upgraded my kernel and/or upgraded from nvidia 177 to 180 during the process - either way the first card works but the second one doesn't appear to be detected (not seen in nvidia-settings) | 23:01 |
| hatter243 | trinidadflores, .mozilla and .thunderbird directories in your home folder. Move them somewhere else like a thumbdrive or something | 23:01 |
| Pollywog | well the Nvidia club is getting larger | 23:01 |
| trinidadflores | thank you hatter243 | 23:02 |
| Mathias90 | hatter243 > I did this earlier. I'm now on the version 96 driver | 23:02 |
| sn00p- | How do I find out what driver my usb wifi adapter is using i have a usb dongle for wifi | 23:02 |
| hatter243 | Mathias90, I'm running version 177, try typing sudo apt-get update in the console | 23:02 |
| Mathias90 | k, one moment | 23:02 |
| trinidadflores | hatter does that also keep my mail too? | 23:02 |
| Pollywog | okay it worked (I think) and now it says I need to reboot to get the drivers loaded | 23:03 |
| Pollywog | brb | 23:03 |
| Sh3r1ff | Pollywog: try sudo apt-get install nvidIa-glx | 23:03 |
| hatter243 | trinidadflores, if your mail is set to be backed up locally and is on the default settings then yet | 23:03 |
| saysay123 | ph8; I think you have to recomple nvidia driver. | 23:03 |
| hatter243 | trinidadflores, then yes* | 23:03 |
| Damis | Hi, has anyone else had a problem where when you use a gstreamer program , the sound freezes up and the only way to fix it is to reboot? | 23:03 |
| sn00p- | How can I find out what driver my USB Wifi dongle is using? | 23:03 |
| Rythoka | quick question: when is 9.04 coming out? | 23:03 |
| hatter243 | !gstreamer | 23:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer | 23:03 |
| hatter243 | =/ | 23:03 |
| hatter243 | Rythoka, April 23rd | 23:04 |
| Rythoka | thanks | 23:04 |
| trinidadflores | if not where would the folder be at for the mail? | 23:04 |
| Damis | :(, The sound on my media players and secondlife is freezing up very frequently to the point I can barley use ubuntu anymore. | 23:04 |
| otm | usr13: i have some config files lurking around in /etc that keep messing up my installation of squid, is it safe to delete them | 23:04 |
| usr13 | otm: Not sure. What files? | 23:05 |
| otm | usr13: actually it's just 'a' config file and it's in /etc/squid | 23:05 |
| hatter243 | trinidadflores, If you're running an IMAP client then it is located on the server, if you set the mail to be delivered locally to some folder other than the default then you would know where it is set better than I | 23:05 |
| usr13 | otm: Has squid been installed before? | 23:05 |
| eTiger13_ | how can i tell how many instances of a process are running? | 23:05 |
| hatter243 | eTiger13_, ps aux | grep -c <processname> | 23:06 |
| Sh3r1ff | eTiger13_: ps -ef | grep process | 23:06 |
| otm | usr13: yep and i think i screwed it up | 23:06 |
| Mathias90 | hatter243 > i just applied the v. 177 driver and ran an apt-get update. It didn't help. Is it nessasary to reboot the system, to test it? | 23:06 |
| usr13 | otm: Well, might be just as easy to fix what you have. | 23:06 |
| hatter243 | hatter243, it is necessary to reboot the system after changing the NVIDIA drivers unfortunately. You might be able to get by with just an X restart, but I am not certain of that | 23:07 |
| histo | Mathias90: that or restart X | 23:07 |
| eTiger13_ | hatter243: Sh3r1ff is there any way to get just a number back, not a list of them? | 23:07 |
| hatter243 | eTiger13_, grep -c | 23:07 |
| usr13 | otm: But you could uninstall squid and see what is left. If anything is still there, remove it and start over, install fresh. e.g. rm -rf /etc/squid | 23:07 |
| Sh3r1ff | eTiger13_: ps -ef | grep process | wc -l | 23:07 |
| hatter243 | eTiger13_, grep -c returns the count and not the matches! | 23:07 |
| hatter243 | hah | 23:07 |
| Mathias90 | histo > restart x? | 23:07 |
| Segnale007 | guys can anybody help me with xorg ? | 23:08 |
| Sh3r1ff | hatter243: or pipe it to wc ;) | 23:08 |
| histo | Mathias90: to enable the video driver you can try restarting X | 23:08 |
| histo | Mathias90: hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 23:08 |
| hatter243 | Mathias90, X server, the thing that makes all the pretty graphics. CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE | 23:08 |
| sn00p- | How can I find out what driver my USB Wifi dongle is using? | 23:08 |
| histo | Mathias90: if that doesn't work then you may have to reboot | 23:08 |

| Guest18346 | hey, anyone know how to mv files from multiple destinations, i.e. within a folder with multiple files for "artist name" which contain mp3s for that artist, move all the mp3s to one folder | 23:09 |
| Segnale007 | I am using vbox 2.2 | 23:09 |
| Pollywog | it's annoying | 23:09 |
| Segnale007 | any help ? | 23:09 |
| hatter243 | Pollywog, apt-get remove gnome-keyring | 23:09 |
| hatter243 | ^^ Use at your own risk | 23:09 |
| hatter243 | :P | 23:09 |
| Pollywog | hatter243: I wanted to do that but thought something might break | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | Guest18346: mv folder/*.mp3 destination/ | 23:10 |
| ricochet | hey guys no one is on the Xubuntu chat so can i ask my questions here? | 23:10 |
| hatter243 | Pollywog, I think something might break too, I am not too familiar with the interconnectedness of gnome-keyring | 23:10 |
| Pollywog | I think there is a way to disable it without removing it | 23:10 |
| Guest18346 | ok ill try that thanks | 23:10 |
| hatter243 | try | 23:10 |
| Pollywog | I will google for it thanks | 23:10 |
| eTiger13_ | hatter243: Sh3r1ff is there a way to tell how much cpu/mem those proccesses are using total? | 23:10 |
| hatter243 | Pollywog, System -> Preferences -> Sessions | 23:10 |
| Sh3r1ff | eTiger13_: top ;) | 23:11 |
| hatter243 | Pollywog, disable Gnome Keyring Daemon | 23:11 |
| Pollywog | ahh thanks | 23:11 |
| hatter243 | Sh3r1ff, bah! Beat me to that one | 23:11 |
| hatter243 | hah | 23:11 |

| xnmrph | I am using vsftpd on Xubuntu in a server project - is there a way I can force the ftp server to store files from any user that logs in to a particular mount point ? In other words, I am using the box as a file server. I want to be able to upload files to it via FTP. The files I want to upload will all reside on a RAID1 array mounted as /media/RAID. I want the ftp server to only use this mount and NOT the user home directories. Is this possible? | 23:53 |
| eqisow | xnmrph: I think you will need to use a different ftp server for that, perhaps somebody can correct me if I'm wrong. I think you can change the starting directory, but it only supports chrooting them to home | 23:56 |
| solexious | Hello, I want to add a line to apt.conf but ubuntu uses a apt.conf.d folder, I added the line to one of the files in it to use a proxy but it was removed after a reboot. What should I do to stop this? | 23:56 |
