got_milk4Actually, I have a question. On my HP DV7 series notebook, in order to get sound working, I had to add "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. This fixed my really jittery audio, but the audio sounds like it's being played back in mono and the integrated subwoofer in the bottom of the notebook isn't being used at all. Any ideas?00:16
obiwan_chernobylit beats the shit out of ubuntu00:17
ActionParsnipdcomxx: or som other thing (grep -v inverts grep to find what doesnt match the filter)00:17
riwaActionParsnip: Shouldn't there be a log file for dpkg?00:17
ActionParsnipriwa: rpm is different to rpm and their actions cant be guaranteed00:17
ActionParsnipriwa: not sure00:17

Peachwebcamwonder: Actually , Synaptci showed I had received an updated nvidia driver... somnething like 180 or something.  I was switching FROM 177 to 180.01:43
WebcamWonderR0b0t1: You can check the modules using, lsmod, but you need to have some hints regarding what module you are looking for01:43
lfaraonePeach: yeah, it looks like I'm out of luck. no *nix support.01:43
sveakexrodolfo: then you are using the hardware on line 2201:44

rodolfosveakex ooops they're not the same -_-01:44
kitchenrangeSo, I was reading through on how to correctly use port forwarding, and I was editing my /etc/network/interfaces.  The problem is that I accidentally saved over my old one without backing up my old one.  How would i reset my network?  I wasnt asking sherriff01:44
WebcamWonderR0b0t1: lsmod | grep nvidia, if that returns anything, you are using closed source drivers, else open source01:44
sveakexrodolfo: hehe, one is wired, the other is wireless01:45
WebcamWonderPeach: So, are you even getting a GUI right now?01:45
Mike_lifeguardAH! opening rhythmbox makes it detected01:45
tleeonlythanks01:45
PeachWebCamWonder: no.  X won't start.  Can only access terminal.01:45
R0b0t1WebcamWonder: Nothing but I know it is proprietary01:45
WebcamWonderPeach: Go into X.org, and switch to nv01:45
rodolfosveakex yep..since 'hardware driver' from ubuntu just tell me about the atheron closed source driver being available I think it's safe to say that I'm using the open source driver available for this adapter01:45
rodolfosveakex and this is bad because I have no other option to switch...my connection is 3MB and it looks like 256Kbps01:46
wzssyqathe cuda toolkit is not Compatible with 9.04?01:46
Mike_lifeguardhmm, well the player detectes that it's connected & rhythmbox does too, but I still can't see any way to send files to the player :\01:46
WebcamWonderR0b0t1: Do a, lsmod | grep nv01:46
Peachhow to swtich to nv in x.org?  You mean xorg.conf , not x?01:46
kitchenrangeHow would i reset my internet settings on ubuntu?01:47
bruce89rodolfo: that's average for here01:47
Peachplz. reword.  thanks.01:47
rodolfosveakex then waht would you do?01:47
scuniziWebcamWonder: Peach it's not x.org buy sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf to switch to the nv driver.01:47
sveakexrodolfo: look around in the gnome menu to look for what drivers it is using01:47
Mike_lifeguardheh, because it's not supported in rhythmbox01:47
scunizi*buy=but01:47
Titan8990Peach, Driver "nv"  in xorg.conf01:47
R0b0t1WebcamWonder: Ok, well, I found it, but I can't find the version. ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRC graphics driver01:47
* Mike_lifeguard searches for something that /does/ support that01:47
Mike_lifeguardAlthough, if I could just place files on the device manually, it'd work just fine01:48
Peachok... I tried switching back to a previous, default xorg.conf file and it didn't work.01:48
eseven73whos gonna buy nano? I thought everything in linux was free? Hehe j/k scunizi :P01:48
Mike_lifeguardbut that means mounting it, I assume01:48

scuniziSh3r1ff: 'cause nano has a human readable menu :)01:49
WebcamWonderPeach: Could you pastebin your current xorg.conf?01:49
sveakexrodolfo: no, there should be an item which shows which drivers you are using01:49
kitchenrangeThis has to be one of the easiest questions ever asked on a regular basis in here, How would i reset my network settings?01:49
Peachunfortunately, no.01:49
PeachI'm on a seperate windows computer now.01:50
ActionParsnipSh3r1ff: i find nano more human, vi has weird command mode which i personally find surplus and confusing01:50

Peachthe weird thing is... I got the same error upon boot up as I did wit hthe other xorg.conf file.01:50
bruce89eseven73: heh01:50

unopActionParsnip, try going to line 5000 in a jiffy with nano :)01:51
Sh3r1ffscunizi, ActionParsnip: depends on what you want, if you get used to vi, it is as easily as nano, but way exceeds the possibilities of nano01:51
CybermanMy Motherboard is an Intel D975XBX with 6Gb DDR2 RAM and 2 160Gb hard drives...01:51
WebcamWonderPeach: That probably means you are still using the nvidia driver... oepn up xorg.conf, and tell me if you see a line something like Driver "nvidia"01:51
Peachone sec.01:51
CybermanI'm tryint to setup my HDDs as a RAID 1 array01:51
scuniziSh3r1ff: well.. OF COURSE.. vi is a mazaratti.. nano is a geo metro.. but most of us don't need a mazaratti to go from point a to b01:52
Cybermanso that I can get as much as 6Gbps out of my HDDs as well as 320GB of capacity...01:52

ActionParsnip!adduser01:59
ubottuTo add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo01:59
crweb2Cyberman,  well, fakeraid is just what it is called when a motherboard says it can raid0 or raid1 but the support is completely done by a software driver01:59
CybermanI'm a mexican Luis, but I won't speak spanish in this channel.01:59
histomatt: you add yourself to the admin group to have sudo access02:00
Cybermanok... My MB says that... but the RAID's management is done entirely via hardware...02:00
sebsebsebmatt: you can add the  user account with  adduser in terminal, and then edit the groups easilely graphically :d02:00
mattsebsebseb: Not on a remote server :)02:00
ActionParsnipmatt: sudo adduser $USER sudo02:00
crweb2Cyberman, no via bios02:00
histomatt: groupadd02:00
crweb2Cyberman, hardware raid the system never sees the drives all access is done via a separate controller02:00
mattActionParsnip: it'd be sudo adduser matt sudo, wouldn't it?02:00
sebsebsebmatt: oh on a server,  well then yeah I guess not, unless a GUI is installed, but for just that hummm, not much point02:00
histomatt: nvm dont' use group add hold up02:00
crweb2Cyberman, the bios setup just tells the raid driver that you install in windows what to do02:00
histomatt: admin is the group not sudo02:01

mrwestt5786, try alt F2 and then gksu nautilus and then copy the files02:06
ActionParsniphisto: you also need to uncomment part of /etc/sudoers02:06
tt5786yes but those files i can access and move but can not compy them to lets say the filestraem02:06

ItaciousThanks, ActionParsnip.02:09
ActionParsnipkaffien: mount it to an empty folder, linux can read ntfs natively, if you want to write to it you need ntfs-3g02:09
WebcamWonderkaffien: ntfs-3g does it. It should be installed by default on a regular install. You should just try to access the drive, and it should mount it for you02:09
Sh3r1ffRoasted: try adding the host to /etc/hosts02:09
Roastedthis is a real quick and dirty samba setup, so I have a feeling I missed a step, yet I am unsure of what step because I traced back my steps and compared it to my main desktop and I can't see anything that's different.02:09

histoCircs: but i'm sure there are linux alternatives just google search linux alternative fruity loops.  you will prolly find something int he repos02:36
Circshisto: Because I don't own that software02:37
mrwesMike_lifeguard, need sudo in front of that :)02:37
histoCircs: ahh applications > add/remove02:37
ActionParsnipCircs: tried lmms?02:37

drownermatrixblue_: I don't think you can. Publisher files are not openable with anything except publisher. There is a convert to pdf online.02:38
CircsLast time i checked answering questions with something besides google it is being helpful02:38

godstarSorry...I feel better. Certainly not directly at anyone particular. :)02:42

sebsebsebmatrixblue_: at all or properly02:43
histosebsebseb: scribus maybe?02:43
sebsebsebhisto: no not even Scribus02:43
histosebsebseb: hrm.. let me check02:43
drownerhisto: only if the person who made it exports it as a scribus-friendly file, i think02:43
ActionParsnipLargePrime: you asked a question in the wrong room. i told you where the right room was02:43
matrixblue_drowner and sebsebseb : I wish I could avoid it but that's not an option for alot of people02:43
sebsebsebhisto: apparnatly the desktop  publishing formats are the hardest to reverse enginer, and that's why Scribus won't do it02:43
drownermatrixblue_: What do you use publisher for?02:43
Wavesonicswhat program should I use to read email from the command line?02:44

ActionParsnipWavesonics: mutt or alpine are 2 solutions02:44
mrwesdrowner, doens't Xnview view publisher files?02:44
Matson libapache2-svn  got it02:44

Wavesonicsok, thanks02:47
histogodstar: sudo aptitude purge wine && sudo aptitude install wine02:47
sebsebsebmatrixblue_: see my message above to drowner02:47
matrixblue_sebsebseb, I use open office but the fact is .doc is the most common format. Just like how mp3s are the defacto standard02:47
ActionParsnipgodstar: use the wine repos, the newer version gets better results in my experience02:48
mrwesdrowner, here is an online converter to PDF http://convert.neevia.com/02:48
sebsebsebmatrixblue_: the most used, but they aren't real standards any of them02:48
histomrwes: drowner k2pdf.com is antoehr one.  Or you can use word and convert them to pdf.02:48

RedMushroomanother user on the computer, ie, i have two users, root and "user" and i want user to have those permissions for that folder02:52

NeffHi everybody! I'm a Journalist and I'm trying to take screenshots of Jaunty for an article I will publish on a swiss news paper the day of jaunty release. I have a problem with my Jaunty installation in VirtualBox 2.2. I installed Jaunty and I installed the guest additions too but now I'm missing the mouse cursor and I don't know what to do. Can you help me please?02:53
dt3kI believe you can install apps02:53
RedMushroomtictac: does that have to be run in sudo?02:53
histoRedMushroom: add your user to the group that owns www02:53
tictacreadability: yes.02:53
nonewmsgsi mounted an iso to a local folder (/media/fakeCD) now i want to change what cd is mounted but i can't because it's already mounted more than once.  umount gives me the same error02:53
RedMushroomhisto: root owns www02:53
histoRedMushroom: yes but who is the group02:54
tictacnonewmsgs: so umount the cd.02:54
histoRedMushroom: I believe there is a www or www-data group02:54
LjLhisto: root.02:54
LjLhisto: there is, but by default, at least on Hardy, /var/www is owned by root.02:54
RedMushroomi'm using intrepid ibex (8.10)02:54
histoLjL: thats so annoying to new users something that needs to be addressed.02:54
Shish_scunizi: hey, just wanted to tell u that the cube thing resolved itself with a RESTART... bruuutal02:54
histoLjL: there should be a www group or www-data group by default no?02:55
nonewmsgstictac it wont let me!  umount: it seems /media/fakeCD is mounted multiple times02:55
matrixblue_Neff, what happens when you click within the window of virtualbox?02:55
histoLjL: that atleast the admin group has access to without pass02:55
LjLhisto: there *is* a www-data group.02:55
unopRedMushroom, why don't you use the userdir apache module .. so you can place content in ~/public_html and access it at http://host/~yourusername/02:55
tictacnonewmsgs: sudo umount /media/fakeCD02:55
LjLhisto: it's just not the owner of /var/www02:55
histoNeff: right ctrl02:56
Neffmatrixblue_: happens that the arrow cursor disappears02:56
tictacnonewmsgs: do it multiple times if you need to. also, make sure nothing is using it.02:56
RedMushroomunop: that's what i was thinking02:56
nonewmsgstictac, i just gave you the error message that produces02:56
RadtooNeff: I dimly recall virtualbox offered a setting whether to use software or hardware cursor...02:56
matrixblue_Neff, what is the host operating system?02:56
unopRedMushroom, with this way - you don't have to mess with permissions .. just create a directory in your home directory, place content in there02:56
tictacnonewmsgs: whats the error?02:56
histoRadtoo: Neff i've never had a problem with virtual box and mouse control wiht guest additions. But then i've run virutal box on ubuntu host02:56
Neffhisto Radtoo matrixblue_ I'm using ubuntu Intrepid ;)02:56
RedMushroomunop: that's what i'm doing now02:57
histoNeff: right ctrl I belivee is the default escape key. it says down in the bottom right of the virtual box window.02:57
unopRedMushroom, I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem then :)02:57
nonewmsgstictac ok now it's working cheers02:58
histoNeff: if not opne a terminal hitting alt+f2 in the virtual machine and sudo shutdown -h now.  Then see ifyou get mouse back. If not then ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the hosts X02:58
tictacnonewmsgs: np02:58
Neffhisto that is not my problem.. I know how to use VBox but my problem is that I'm not able to see the cursor when VBox grab my mouse... The cursor disappears but the mouse is still working.02:59
matrixblue_Neff :and the mouse cursor reappear when you press the host key?02:59
Neffmatrixblue_: yes02:59
histoNeff: hrm... no idea then02:59
Neffmatrixblue_: it desappears in the VM only02:59
Radtoohisto: It can happen... there was a bug in an older version of VBox (version 1.5 or something), plus it happened to me on ati drivers at one point.02:59
Neffmatrixblue_: and only with jaunty...02:59
kickarhey guys i just installed ubuntu ? i am new do i have iptables?03:00
matrixblue_Neff: just create another VM using the same virtual hard drive03:00
RadtooNeff: As this happened after you installed the guest additions I do think it happened because it switched from software to hardware mouse cursor...03:00

kickarlstarnes,  is there easyway to configure it ? any GUI scripts?03:01
kickarkmyfirewall?03:01
histo!firewall | kickar03:01
ubottukickar: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).03:02
lstarneskickar: there is ufw and I there GUI frontends like firestarter03:02
RadtooNeff: Just turn it back to software cursor. If you have that setting and I'm not wrong (using too many virtualization solutions and too infrequently to be sure)03:02
kickarlstarnes,  thank you !03:02
matrixblue_Neff, just create another VM using the same virtual hard drive03:02
NeffRadtoo: What does it mean? How can I switch to software cursor?03:02
matrixblue_Neff, that should reset all the setting you changed but the install itself will be the same03:03
Tony-LittleYeah baby yuo can do it!!!03:03
Tony-LittleYeah baby yuo can do it!!!03:03

Neffmatrixblue_: the only thing I changed was not in the VM, but in the virtual disk, where I only installed VBox Guest additions03:04
Neffmatrixblue_: the only thing I can do maybe is to install another version of VBox and see what happens03:04
matrixblue_Neff, if the keyboard still works use terminal to remove the guest additions then03:05

Im_ToastHey, my sound stopped working... Anyone have any ideas how to diagnose/fix it?03:23
Radtoomopoyo: None, they're just different. If you want something fairly "normal" RTS style, try BA or CA. A bit less normal would be NOTA / GundamRTS.03:23
cchaosbosco: that partition must be NTFS for windows to use it03:23
noodlesgcbosco as long as it is either NTFS or FAT3203:23
eseven73Im_Toast, try sudo alsa force-reload03:24
cchaosOr FAT or FAT32 as noodlesgc stated (I forgot about that, but NTFS is the "norm" for windows atm)03:24

Radtoomopoyo: They're all fun to try out tho. They will end up as a single file in your home directory under .spring/ if you choose to download them using the game lobby, so you can just delete them if you don't like one.03:25

Im_Toasteseven73: Nope03:29
eseven73!sound | Im_Toast (ok try these then...)03:29
ubottuIm_Toast (ok try these then...): If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

WebcamWonderthatarmyengineer: Were you trying wubi?04:02
thatarmyengineeryes04:02
thatarmyengineerthats what i installed it with i believe04:03
h8redi just did a quicksearch in synaptic for mplayer and nothing came up04:03
scuniziXcell: that would be sudo rm -rf bill.gates04:03
shippomatrixblue_: new ram is in04:03
Xcellwow.. worked.. thanks04:03
h8rednot sure what i'm doing wrong... i have the medibuntu packages in there04:03
WebcamWonderthatarmyengineer: Here is the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/31813504:03
KillerOrcaI just installed a new DVD writer and HDD and my screen resolution is now set incorrectly, and the option that it was previously set at is now gone, any ideas?04:03
matrixblue_shippo, try the install option from the first menu04:04
WebcamWonderh8red: Are you sure. Fire up a terminal and tell me if this command works, aptitude show mplayer04:04
shippomatrixblue_: trying that now04:05
matrixblue_shippo, crossing fingers04:06
h8redyeah webcam04:06
h8redit pasted a whole bunch of stuff04:06
h8redsays not installed though04:06
RouninHello... I was wondering whether there's any simple way to make the little calendar in the corner in Gnome (seems to be called "Clock" and made by the FSF) to display Monday as the first day of the week?04:06
=== Crazy_Hopp is now known as Crazy_Hopper
WebcamWonderh8red: Meh... I never liked synaptic in the first place :p.... Don't know why it isn't working for you though04:06
sebsebsebh8red: use cheese to test web cam04:06
matrixblue_h8red, sudo apt-get install mplayer04:06
WebcamWonderh8red: sudo aptitude install mplayer, to install it04:06
h8redthanks04:07
B3rz3rk3rsebsebseb, why not just use your computer to test it? :p04:07
WebcamWondersebsebseb: You want to test me? :P04:07
cchaosRounin: seems to be set on mine as starting day: monday04:07
h8redbut searching in the package manager...something 'should' come up when i search right04:07
matrixblue_h8red, I like smplayer which is a front end to mplayer (gives better controls)04:07
h8redokay04:07
h8redthanks guys04:07
RouninThat's odd, cchaos... Is there a setting somewhere, or does it just detect it somehow, you think?04:07
WebcamWonderh8red: Yeah. On the left, there would be a category saying programs installed, not installed. Try switching the categotry04:08
cchaosRounin: give me a min: Im playing with it04:08
h8redsudo aptitude install smplayer04:08
h8redthats what im about to do04:08
sebsebsebB3rz3rdk3r  and  WebcamWonder  did I miss something?   I thought someone wanted to get a web cam working,  and I haven't used cheese personally04:08
RouninSure04:08
WebcamWondersebsebseb: He was asking about mplayer and abreviatted my nick :)04:09
shippomatrixblue_: same thing! :(04:09
WebcamWonderh8red: Yup, that would install mplayer04:09

h8redi don't quite get how that works yet, but cool04:10
_Brun0__sveakex, back04:10
WebcamWonderh8red: Yup. The power user way... :)... And to remove stuff, sudo aptitude purge <package_name>04:10
cchaosRounin: go to about: what version are you using?04:11
h8redsudo aptitude purge vlc04:11
Rounin2.24.1 it says04:11
Mean_Adminhi, I'm trying to copy my OS to a new hard drive. I've cp -ax / to a new hard drive, anything else I should do ?04:11
h8redwell ill try to remove that from that package manager thing04:11
h8redit seems there are probably other files associated w/ vlc04:11
RouninThe Ubuntu version is... The ... the one from six months ago04:11
WebcamWonderh8red: If you remove vlc, all its dependencies would automatically be removed (it will inform you of those packages)04:12
matrixblue_h8red, keep vlc player04:12
DG19075h8red: you can also use apt-get install -y to eliminate the Do you want to continue question04:12
RouninThe <adjective> <animal or bird name>04:12
cchaosRounin: same as mine then04:12
h8redwhy keep it?  i have mplayer04:12
DG19075that should be, apt-get install -y04:12
h8redi dont need 24 different media players04:12
RouninAh well, perhaps my .deb repository is run by a Jehovah's Witness04:12
RouninIt's a mystery04:12
WebcamWonderh8red: That is fine. It is your choice. Generally, linux programs are cheap in terms of their diskspace04:13
matrixblue_h8red, it can play some stuff that mplayer can;t04:13
h8redoh?04:13
WebcamWondermatrixblue_: Really? I have yet to come across such an event04:13
matrixblue_h8red, I'd remove everything except mplayer and VLC04:13
h8redi figured that would be more about the codecs than player04:13
cchaosRounin: that I dont know04:13
matrixblue_WebcamWonder, FLV are one example04:13
h8redflv good call!04:14
shippomatrixblue_: trying again to make sure04:14
h8reddoes mplayer or vln do well with mp304:14
h8redor should i get a mp3 specific player04:14
WebcamWonderh8red: Both do well04:14

matrixblue_h8red, for mp3 go with Banshee04:14
bonez46where can I find networking help? I want to get my printer set up to share on my LAN with some other windows machines..04:14
WebcamWonderh8red: But as far as library management goes, I don't think you can consider them as library managers04:14
DG19075 and alsaplayer does too04:14
WebcamWonderbonez46: ##networking04:15
h8redi always used windows explorer as a library manager04:15
bonez46WebcamWonder: thanks04:15
WebcamWonderh8red: Then you should be good with both of them :)04:15
WebcamWonderbonez46: Np04:15

DG19075h8res: here you can use nautilus or thunar04:15
Radtoobonez46: or samba / cups tutorials (can't link atm, but you'll find some)04:16
matrixblue_h8red, they'll be good unless you want playlists, shuffle, iPod sync, etc04:16

h8redthe computer i'm sitting at now has a funky wireless card, always a pain to get the drivers installed in windows04:16
matrixblue_shippo, awesome!!!!04:16
h8redwhen i installed unbutu it was no problem whatsoever04:16
WebcamWonderh8red: Well, that is a first :D04:17
h8redcome a long way, last time i tried to install linux years ago, i was stopped b/c of a lack of drivers04:17
DG19075which is why i dumped windows for this04:17
shippofailed again04:17
matrixblue_WebcamWonder, people always talk about wireless card issues but I've yet to come across one04:17
shippomatrixblue_:04:17
h8redi dumped windows last night when both my desktop and laptop cratered and i got enraged because i just formatted them both a few weeks ago04:18
shipposomething about the monitor...04:18
DG19075and microsofts genuine advantage that say guilty till proven innocent on windows installs04:18
matrixblue_shippo, what exact error message do you get?04:18
h8redso i googled best linux distro.....grabbed the unbuntu torrent04:18
h8redand here i am today04:18
WebcamWondermatrixblue_: Depends entirely on what card you have seriously. I also don't have any problems with the wireless, but I have only used broadcom04:18
shipposplash: setting mode 640x480 failed04:18

h8redi did that actually04:20

WebcamWonderDG19075: He has Flash 10 already...04:21

h8redits not so bad at 115204:21
h8redbut any higher desktop rez and its unwatchable04:21
DG19075hmmm04:21
shippomartixblue_:  crud that is probably it, i thought the video card was a matrox card!04:21
cchaosWhats the commend to edit xorg.conf?04:22
h8redi googled around a bit and that seems to come with the territory running linux04:22
cchaoscommand^04:22
matrixblue_shippo, not sure either but the fact that you make it to the terminal  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ means that Xubuntu has loaded but the GUI is having an issue04:22
WebcamWondercchaos: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf (IIRC)04:22

shippois there an appian graphics driver for ubuntu?04:23

thebackwashh8red: softpanorama.org04:27
h8redi dont like having to essentially paste things from the web to install stuff when i dont know exactly what it means04:27
WebcamWonderhomeskillet: You could just notedown the time, and resume from that time. But I don't know of any player that specifically has that feature04:27

coz_epaphus,   http://openvpn.fuchs.cc/04:31

KetrelAre there broadcom cards that CANNOT be setup at all?04:31
WebcamWonderKetrel: What do you mean by that?04:32
WebcamWondercchaos: That is weird. The resolution would have been setup before the login screen04:32
frybyePeskyJ: phone your brother and ask him for the pw to the router . in the config there u find the key for the wifi..04:32
crdlbcchaos: because the user has changed their preferred resolution, and it was written to ~/.config/monitors.xml04:32
PeskyJfrybye: it's 04:00 here04:32
crdlband gnome-settings-daemon reads that file to set the resolution at login04:32

Mark_JonesHello guys I got everything working great on my new PC today, but Im wondering are there any pros or cons of running Ubuntu 64bit edition over 32bit edition? Im running a 2.2Ghz Quad Core 64bit Phenom system.Any opinions?05:27
ZeZuMark_Jones,  there are a lot of both05:27
Mark_Joneshmm05:27
bonez4664 bit will take advantage of the hardware..05:28
ZeZuMark_Jones,  the first is some things are a bit more work to setup under x64,  flash etc05:28
bonez46better05:28
PhotoJimMark_Jones: if using > 4GB RAM, 64-bit is necessary.  otherwise, it's really up to you.  Web browser Java has some issues with 64-bit mode.  That's the only issue that would hold me back from 64-bit mode, although honestly I do use it on my Athlon 64 notebook.05:28
ZeZuMark_Jones, the second is some applications that are optimized will be faster with x64 where applicable05:28
tt5786does any one know how to add Ballarat to the weather function in Ubuntu05:28
ice-nineMark_Jones, I used to run into problems with apps that work with 32 bit end up not working with 64 bit...05:28
RadtooMark_Jones: Most notably, 64bit is using more registers and supports direct addressing of more than 4GB ram05:28
Equstt5786 right click on icon select preferences> location05:29
cchaosRight Im gonna kill my monitor :P05:29
tt5786i have done that and the only Victorian places are Melbourne and Richmond05:29
ZeZuyou can solve most issues by using the 32b apps as long as you have the 32libraries it needs05:29
Mark_Jonesok as far as RAM goes Ubuntu is very lean on that so I only bought a matched pair of 1GB sticks for dual channel use.05:29
RadtooMark_Jones: Do you do any video encoding, 3d rendering, ...? (I'd guess not but who knows)05:30
bonez46what is dual channel use?05:30
PhotoJimtt5786: you'll have to select the closest one of those two to your location.  not all locations are included, unfortunately.  the larger, the more likely to be included.05:30
Mark_JonesSo looks like package installation/availablility is the biggest issues as for as probs go.05:30
RadtooMark_Jones: Or mathematical analysis05:30
ZeZuMark_Jones, then if your not doing anything terribly usefull with 64b applications,  32b runs just as well and a bit easier in some cases05:30
Mark_JonesI do use Handbrake GUI to convert DVD to my iPod video.05:30
ironfroggy_when a wireless cards "works" but constantly has 1-60 second ping times, where can one possibly look for a cause?05:30
tt5786ballarat is larger then richmond05:30
Mark_JonesVery fast on quad core. 8min from dvd to ipod.05:30
Guest69282Is anyone here thinking of using BackTrack 4.0?  It is now Debian-based, so should be a shorter learning curve.05:30
ctendellHello I got the separate X screen running but how do i get to it? Like mouse over to it?05:30
ZeZuI dont know what backend Handbrake GUI uses, but it could be a bit faster on x6405:31
Equstt5786  did youtype in your location05:31
tt5786is there a way to get it included05:31
ZeZubut if its already real quick05:31
tt5786yes i did05:31
PhotoJimtt5786: is ballarat a suburb of Melbourne, say?  I don't know Victoria geography that well.05:31
tt5786and it came up with nothing05:31
RadtooMark_Jones: Hmm... I don't know what that uses in the bakcend but most encoders ARE actually significantly faster in 64 bit mode05:31
Mark_Jonesrealy? oooh man I wanna try it.05:31
tt5786no it is Victoria's 3 largest city Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo etc05:31
RadtooMark_Jones: For most other applications, a human can't actually notice the difference...05:31
juaGuest69282 has BT4 gone out of beta?05:31
Equstt5786 that is all I know sorry05:31
tt5786dam05:32
Guest69282Jua: I think it is still in beta, but dunno when final is going to be released.05:32
tt5786is there any where on the web site i could look to get it added05:32
rubydiamondHi guys05:32
rubydiamondhow to I setup openvpn on my ubuntu05:32
Mark_JonesOk ima go ahead and download the 64bit CD and give it a whirl. If all else fails ill restore my backup.05:32
Mark_JonesThank you guys!05:32
juaBT is the absolute best livecd ever IMO05:32
ice-nineHey, no better way to find out than to try...05:33
PhotoJimtt5786: not sure why they included Richmond and not Ballarat.05:33
Guest69282The one thing that was stopping me from making it my primary distro was that it was slackware based.05:33
tt5786nither i was hoping i could go around and fix it for the stat of Victoria05:33
Guest69282But now that BT4 is debian, it is a bit easier for an Ubuntu user to add the apps we need.05:33
juaGuest69282 is good news indeed the've debianized05:33
Guest69282Of course, then the quesiton is:  should we just use Ubuntu and apt-get the security apps, or the other way around....05:34

ravenniumAnyone remember what was the setting in Compiz-Fusion that brings back the "top bar" of the KDE applications in Gnome (I'm using Ubuntu 8.10)???06:51
AK_DaveUltra: I don't think you're going to, nor do you really want to, fire something like that from userspace without sudo. You could, of course, edit your sudoers to basically unprotect your system.06:51
oly562i sorta had it working, i didnt get the 3d mode to work though06:51

AK_Davevintty: lspci -vnn should tell you want you want about your video hardware. lsmod should tell you what kernel modules are loaded.06:52

oly562i dont think the xorg is the problem06:52
wv56xC5YSI'll check06:52

oly562i compared with a few others... last week06:52
wv56xC5YSdamn, that's not me :'(06:52
n8tuserKetrel-> umm last resort is ndiswrapper06:53

xi_which VM would you all suggest for Ubuntu ?07:45
ziroday!ufw | armornic107:45
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about ufw07:45
zirodayarmornic1: sorry, I believe its off by default and you should use ufw to control it07:46
xi_Xen, VirtualBox, or VMware07:46
ziroday!best | xi_07:46
ubottuxi_: 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.07:46
xi_ziroday, i ask for config reasons07:46
zirodayxi_: config reasons?07:46
xi_some programs are easier and config nicely while others require more work07:46
armornic1so, by default, any incoming connection is disabled, right?07:47
armornic1just to make sure I don't have a leak07:47
zirodayarmornic1: I'm not sure07:47
ziroday!iptables | armornic1 see07:47
ubottuarmornic1 see: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).07:47

guillaumeHi all07:48

Sword^Fishbut i don't use toshiba. it's Asus X51R. what should I write then?08:42

AK_Daveyeah, you're good. If you didn't have that module you'd have zero sound.08:44
Sword^Fishokay.. so I don't need to create that file then?08:45
AK_DaveI suspect  you do need to create the file, but you don't need to download the driver because it is already installed.08:46

knoxvillekrishna, well it will delete everything without asking you twice09:01
usserSqueakyNeb, nope its binary incompatible09:01
krishnaknoxville, what do you mean by "Everything" ?09:02
BossmanbetaANyone use Sonata (frontend to MPD) ?  It does not seem to save selections to playlists, simply doesn't work.. (version 1.4.2), any ideas?09:02
clearscreenSqueakyNeb: Mac is based on a BSD kernel which is indeed based off of unix, but as usser has stated, binaries are indeed incompatible unfortunately09:02
bluejeansIgnoramus11, unless you have an amd64 jsut get the 32 bit09:02
knoxvillekrishna well / refers to the root directory which means it would delte everything inside the root directory that you have permission to delete09:02
HamidRezaflash don't work in firefox09:02
Ignoramus11what if i have 12 gigs of ram >.<09:02
clearscreenkrishna: rm is the remove/delete command ;) / is the root directory.. have fun deleting all your files09:02
krishnaSqueakyNeb, is there any gui for youtube-dl09:03
bluejeansIgnoramus11, irrelevent09:03
rwwIgnoramus11: amd64 is the same thing as x86_64. If you're using a recent Intel chip, it's compatible.09:03
krishnaclearscreen, knoxville , thanks.. now clearly understood09:03
bluejeansIgnoramus11, its the processor we're talking about09:03
rwwIgnoramus11: i.e. Core2 or i7.09:03
Ignoramus11thanks rww09:03
SqueakyNebclearscreen, usser, :( disapointment. If there was a program like wine for Mac binaries in Linux, would it work better than wine?09:03
krishnaknoxville, then will it delete the system files too ???09:03
Ignoramus11core 209:03
knoxvillekrishna if you own the webserver and have sudo permissions, yes!09:03
bluejeansIgnoramus11, ok then you're good..09:03
SqueakyNebkrishna, Yes, i used to have 2-4 of them, but i got rid of them when i realised the pointlessness09:03
rwwIgnoramus11: I'm running a Core 2 Quad with amd64 Ubuntu right now. You're fine :).09:03

tsLightwhy isn't ghostview on the repositories? I think it was a while back...09:04
anhtaidatquanghello09:04
krishnaknoxville, you mean , it wil delet the contents of home folder too  ;-P09:04
clearscreenSqueakyNeb: Not really, the problem is that blizzard was too lazy to add hardware acceleration for cursors in openGL mode in their windows binaries09:04
anhtaidatquangi want get apt09:04
rwwtsLight: is package "gv" what you're looking for?09:04

SqueakyNebkrishna, Are you using synaptic package manager??09:05
anhtaidatquangmy machine clear GTK09:05
krishnaSqueakyNeb, YES ! i use it09:05
krishnaSqueakyNeb, i want a GUI for youtube-dl09:05
knoxvillekrishna, yes!  what are you trying to do?09:05
SqueakyNebuse clive09:06
clearscreenSqueakyNeb: that would seem logical for their development point of view (windows users should generally be using direct3d), but wine uses an opengl wrapper to handle direct3d code09:06
SqueakyNebi think is what i used09:06
krishnaknoxville, i want to know what all it will delete ..... it will also empty the windows drives of C  D E F too ? :-O :O09:06
krishnaknoxville, if yes, then this command wil be dangerous ,. wont it ? :O09:06
knoxvilleIt will delete anything that is mounted to the / aka root directory krishna09:07
BlackDalekwhen I type asoundconf-gtk it responds  "You need to make sure asoundconf is active! By default, asoundconf's configuration file is ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf and must be included in ~/.asoundrc. Open this file to make sure it is!" I don't understand what it wants me to do?09:07
knoxvillekrishna if you type mount you can view if other filesystems are mounted to / and yet it would delete them also09:07
SqueakyNebknoxville, what is he talking about?09:07
HamidRezaplease help me09:07
knoxvilleSqueakyNeb, he wants to know if it will delete his windows fs also09:08
SqueakyNebknoxville, what will do that???09:08

Ignoramus11i have another question in regards to gui . which is more stable with current release? gnome or kde09:08
SqueakyNebWHAT COMMAND????09:08

SqueakyNebo that09:08
HamidRezaflash worked like a film in firefox09:08
pahom%)09:08
clearscreenIgnoramus11: define 'current release'09:09
krishnaknoxville, then why ubuntu allows this dangerous command ? :(09:09
Ignoramus11kde 4.2 , gnome 2. what ever it is09:09
bluejeansBlackDalek, open ~/.asoundrc in a text editor and see if there's a line in it pointing to the .asoundrc.asound.conf file... that's what it's tellign you to do09:09
SqueakyNebIgnoramus11, I would say gnome because it is the standard gui, but i beleive you can get kubuntu and xubuntu if you want support with ubuntu+KDE/XWindow09:09
HamidRezahelp09:09
knoxvillekrishna, windows allows it also, "format c: /q /u09:10

tt5786as there is an error09:23
zirodaygartral: what do you want to do with it?09:23
gartrali need to eject it, it isnt rreading the cd i put in it09:23
zirodaytt5786: whats the error?09:23
tt5786it wont boot09:23
zirodaygartral: then press the eject key...09:23
gartraland its ignoring the button09:23
tt5786it take me to something called intrefs09:24
zirodaygartral: then unmount it first09:24
gartralit ignored sudo eject cdrom09:24
zirodaytt5786: okay, try an older kernel09:24

gartralit isnt mounting its stuck09:24
gartralits not mounted09:24
tt5786i did that and it did not see my Keyboard and Mouse09:24
zirodaygartral: then you have to eject it09:24
gartralits spining at rediculus speeds, and i need to force eject it09:24
gartrali know that, HOW09:25
zirodaygartral: there is no force eject. Pressing the eject button or doing sudo eject is all there is. If its serious reboot.09:25
stormchas2000Gartral  restart09:25
tsLighthow can I know for how long I have been conected to the internet (DSL)?09:25

zirodaygartral: there is no force eject in jauty either.09:26
zirodayjaunty even.09:27
gartralthere needs to be one somewhere09:27
rwwgartral: grab a paperclip, unbend it, shove it in the little hole on the front of the CD drive.09:27
zirodaygartral: if your cdrom drive fails to eject upon pressing eject then its a hardware issue. The software can only do what the hardware allows.09:27
gartralrww: cant, theres no cog hole09:28
zirodaygartral: AFAIK there is no force eject software anywhere.09:28
gartralit does help when i dont have k3b open doesnt it... lol09:28

tt5786sorry im back09:29
tt5786so was there any answer to my questions09:29
eth01gartral: i haven't even followed your problem. you'll have to explain from the start.09:29
Rabbitbunnyyou know, if you pop the cover off, you can get to whatever cd is in there quite easily. it only requires the removal of ~8 screws and voiding up to 2 warranties.09:30
gartraleth01: i was freaking out cause my cdrom took more than 10 minutes to acknowledge a sudo eject and the cd hadnt even mounted yet...09:31
Rabbitbunnytt5786: no one has addressed you since you left.09:31
hipposmmm problematic09:31
eth01gartral: sounds like a dodgey driver09:31
gartralRabbitbunny: yes, except that would require 3 things, 1) take down my server.. bad 2) remove the server from the rack and remove its cover, which i would rather not do, 3) k3b had full controll of the bus, which i killed, and everything went back to normal09:33

jony123hi every1 i was wondering if anyone can tell me how to run mono10:40
BrucevdkHi, I'm wondering, does anybody organize their Apache sites (/etc/apache/sites-available) in seperate files and directories? For example example.com/foo.example.com. If so, can you show me some examples (particular usage of NameVirtualHost)?10:40
Brucevdk!mono | jony123: how do you mean run it? You juse do $ mono foo.exe10:41
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about mono10:41
nasso i have a problem with my nvidia drivers that im hoping someone might be able to help me with. i have a setup with three monitors powered by two asus gf6200le pci-e x16 cards. when i start up my computer and the gdm login screen is displayed only two of the screens are activated (getting signals, displaying green leds). once i log in only those two screens are activated, still. If i log out of gnome and return to gdm login screen all thre10:41
nassoe screens are activated and from there on all three screens are working. does anyone know what might be causing this?10:41
jony123how do i write aplications for it10:42
jelly12genjony123: for what?10:42
Otienocould anyone help me with my webcam. It has stopped working after installing skype10:43
Brucevdkjelly12gen: http://mono-project.com/Introduction_to_developing_with_Mono10:43
deanywhats the package that enables autocomplete? its not workin in this UNR install10:43
jelly12genbah mono . that 's ugly10:43
Brucevdkuhm sorry jelly12gen, I meant jony12310:43
jony123for mono10:43
jelly12genBrucevdk: well still use a better prog. language like Haskell , C , java , python10:43
jelly12genmuch better integration etc.10:44
jelly12genOtieno: that's inpossible10:44
nassojelly12gen, haskell? are you serious? does anyone actually use that for production? :)10:44
jelly12genOtieno: did you use your webcam with an other program first?10:44
grawityjelly12gen: I don't see how Java and Python are "better" than C# .NET10:44
grawitynasso: I think there's a Perl6 implementation in Haskell.10:44
OtienoYess nasso, I used it with cheese10:44
jelly12gengrawity: because C# mono _. M$ isnt platform independent10:45
Otienobut today I installed skype and when trying to open cheese, it says no camera10:45
grawityjelly12gen: Why? It's same as Java.10:45
jelly12genjava is fully platform independent and python also10:45
nassowow. i studied it in a course at university. its very good if you want to learn how to program but didnt think anyone actually used if except for education/research/math10:45
jelly12gennasso: haskell?10:46
nassojelly12gen, yes10:46
kimws1901hello~10:46
Brucevdkgrawity: I tend to agree with you, but it's not exactly the same. Sun Microsystems actually works on the open source Java (OpenJDK) itself, Mono is an effort by Novell (and not supported per se by Microsoft)10:46
jelly12genOtieno: so i worked for cheese but after installing skype i doesnt work anymore10:46
jelly12genBrucevdk: grawity and opensource is a big plus !10:46
OtienoYes, jelly12gen10:46
Brucevdkgrawity: so politically it's a little different, technically it really doesn't matter. I think C#/Mono + GTK# is a descent platform for Linux development.10:46
nassocan anyone point to a big open source project that uses haskell? would love to look at some source10:47
jelly12genOtieno: ok , didnt install something else ?10:47
Otienonot at all10:47
jelly12genOtieno: kernel upgrade ?10:47
grawityBrucevdk: So where's the "ugliness" of them?10:47
jelly12genOtieno: please check wich dependencies of skype10:47
OtienoI have run an upgrade after that and still not helping10:47
Brucevdkgrawity: I'm just pointing out some facts, it wasn't me who said C# was ugly :-)10:47
jelly12genaha Otieno did you upgraded something10:47
jelly12gen*i did say C# is ugly *10:48
OtienoI just run apt-get update10:48

jelly12gennasso: wich project?10:48
grawityAnyway, about the other meaning of "ugliness". I have tried to run KeePass on Mono, and it works fine, but looks like crap. Is there anything I can do? (Ubuntu 8.10, Gnome)10:48

jelly12gennasso: xomad !10:49
OtienoI did that update when it failed to start and still no program detects it. i have tried to reinstall it in vein10:49
jelly12gennasso: Xmonad ! ,10:49
Brucevdkgrawity: you know what, I could be doing other things, but I'm interested in this so let me download and run KeePass for a second10:49
jelly12genOtieno: and if you remove skype does it work in cheese?10:50
grawityBrucevdk: Ah, one more thing. It's KeePass v2.10:50
grawity(KeePass v1 is a native Win app.)10:50
OtienoI haven't tried that. Let me try, jelly12gen10:50
jelly12gennasso: xmonad is the most cool window manager10:50
Brucevdkgrawity: also, have you tried Revelation?10:50
grawityBrucevdk: No, but it seems like a Linux-only app, and I'm mostly a Windows user. *googles*10:51
jelly12gengrawity: windows user ?? :)10:52
jelly12gen:O10:52
grawityjelly12gen: Yes, so? (If you're interested, it's Win XP Pro, runs just fine, no viruses yet, and so on.)10:52
Otienojelly12gen10:53
Otienoit still doesn't pick10:53
jelly12gengrawity: well i don't give a shit if you use windows, or mac , or hp-ux of *BSD  , i just use linux because it let me work more efficient10:53
Brucevdkgrawity: ah yes, it does look ugly, I'm assuming it's using WindowsForms10:54
jelly12genOtieno: it still doesnt work?10:54
Otienoyes10:54
OtienoI mean it doesn't10:54
jelly12genOtieno: ok , i am clueless10:54
nassojelly12gen, im not very experienced with haskell but its hard to imagine how you could create a window manager with it. when i used it it was all build on recursion. you called one function and it continued running until it was finished. hard to imagine how you could implement a windows manager like that :P10:54
{g}Hey People! Whats a nice way to show the last lines of a gzipped file?10:55
nassoapparently its possible ;)10:55
grawityBrucevdk: I guess so. Is there a way to "fix" it? (Not really a problem, but I do prefer nice interfaces)10:55
jelly12gennasso: well they did , have you googled xmonad , you can even do I/O with it10:55
Otienoanyone there with a clue on this issue? Compatibility of skype and webcam in intrepid10:55
jelly12gennasso: i am learning it atm btw fot my study and it's pretty awesome10:55
Brucevdkgrawity: well, no idea, I don't actually use any WinForm applications (just GTK#). Might be something interesting here: http://mono-project.com/WinForms10:55
nassojelly12gen, yup. im looking into it now. aint i/o kind of a "hack" that isnt really function/recursion based?10:56
jelly12gennasso: i dont know yet :D10:56
grawityBrucevdk: Hmm, I'll take a look10:56
jelly12gennasso: but got to go10:56
jelly12genbye10:56

SkyrailThe version of Twisted on the Hardy default repos is outdated by a long shot and I was wondering if there any newer repos that may have the newest version of Twisted on it i.e. instead of 2.5, 8.2, purely because I don't want to build from source,it's easier to keep up to date and I don't want to upgrade to Intrepid10:58
[u]Jinkszilleplus, edit your /etc/hosts10:58
topi{g}: oh, yes, ofc :)10:58
nassojelly12gen, it was one of the exercises in the course. probably the hardest thing i have every written. you could sit for hours and work on one line. but when you are finished with a haskell program and it works, its friccin beautiful.10:58

Skyrailbalachmar: nope, I suppose that would be of help?11:10
clancyok, lxde is just times faster then xfce or gnome but not as minimal as fluxbox11:10
clancycanonical should think about...11:10
Paddy_EIREits to tacked together11:10
balachmarSkyrail: It should those repos should backport newer versions of software to older releases. I don't know for sure if they have backported your package though. But worth a try.11:11

Mike_lifeguardMy laptop seems to be running quite hot - is there a way to adjust fan operation or something?11:11

Mike_lifeguardthanks both11:12
balachmarSkyrail, then you might consider upgrading to intrepid. It has been around for 6 months already :)11:13
prabhahow to compile java in ubuntu?11:14
Skyrailbalachmar: it's a server and Hardy is LTS until 2013, saves me from upgrading in the future (i.e. with Intrepid it's mid 2010 that support finishes)11:14
SkyrailI'll speak to the owner of the site and see if he's okay with the upgrade and then I'll go ahead with it11:14
Brucevdkprabha: same way as you would on any other system, install the JDK (openjdk-6-jdk) and use javac (after switching using update-java-alternatives)11:14
Paddy_EIRESkyrail: there is nothing wrong with sticking with LTS releases :)11:14
SkyrailPaddy_EIRE: a certain package that we need is vastly out dated :/11:15
SkyrailI could build from source but it limits the ease of updating in the future11:15

Lanlostweird.. I actually got disconnected ( couldn't ping any site )11:35
vladthank you11:35
BrucevdkLanlost: and to answer your other question, I think it might actually be possible for some ACPI things to behave differently depending on the model. And maybe it's even possible for there to be some firmware somewhere doing something.11:36
vladis there a tutorial about users and accounts11:36
tunnuzHello, I'm trying to setup a backup system with rsync on my Ubuntu Server, but my rsync doesn't seem to load the rsyncd.conf. I guess that's because there's already a default rsync configuration on the Ubuntu Server distro, but I can't find the configuration files. Can you help me?11:36
Lanlostand turned it back on... and it didn't reconnect to freenode.. I had a ping running that once i shut the lid immediately did 'destination unavailable'11:36
ninadspvlad: none that i know.. did you check the ubuntu wiki?11:36
BrucevdkLanlost: so wait, the problem still occurs?11:36
Lanlostas soon as I saw that i opened the lid again and it turned back on.. must have just not been disconnected long enough.. doens't make sense how it would stay connected to IRC any other way11:36
Lanlostbrucevdk, yeah11:37
vladI will thanks11:37
ninadspvlad: np! :)11:37
budshello11:37

buds:(11:37
BrucevdkLanlost: I'm wondering if this is an issue with Firestarter (or actually what it uses to share the connection)11:37

ninadspbuds: ohh.. then i don't know if reintalling grub is the right way...11:39
ninadspbuds: pls wait around and ask someone who'd know11:39
budsany suggestion?11:39
Lanlostand it still listed mine at full strength.. or near it (never under 90%)11:39
budsok11:39
BrucevdkLanlost: ok well, silly suggestion, but can't you just turn the LCD display off?11:40
Lanlostbrucevdk, It does this on my girlfriends laptop too (ubuntu newest)11:40
ninadspbuds: one thing i would try would be to restore windows mbr first, then re install grb11:40
Lanlostit does the same thing11:40
Lanlosteven screensaver does it11:40
BrucevdkLanlost: it doesn't do it on mine, X61t11:40
Paddy_EIRELanlost: sounds to me a simple solution would be to get a wifi card or dongle for your tower :P11:40
vladdoes anybody know a good ip scanner similar to languard11:40
ninadsp*grub11:40
Lanlostwell I'm sharing to my roommates as well11:40
Lanlostneither of them can hit the router either11:40
Lanlosteven if I connect directly to the router with the laptop via eth it does it when I Close the lid11:41
Paddy_EIRELanlost: perhaps they too should buy wifi cards or dongles :P11:41

O_EDIHi, what is the opimal java package to install in ubuntu 8.10 : from sun or from OpenJDK?11:42
Lanlostwow bruce, thanks.. I couldn't find one at all.. strangely since that seems like the obvious string you would search for .. heh11:42
BrucevdkO_EDI: OpenJDK11:42
bakaratis there a lot of software for the ubuntu arm port?11:43
vladi've herd of it it can scan  a range of ips as well right11:43
Lanlostanyway, I just wrote an SDL simple app to just draw a fullscreen black screen and turned down the monitor brightness as far as possible11:44
Lanlostanything think that won't save the life at all?11:44
ninadspvlad: yes :) one of the best scanners i've seen to date11:44
O_EDIBrucevdk is there any configuration i should do in order to set the environment and keep OpenOffice running with OpenJDK?11:44
Paddy_EIRELanlost: not using it :)11:44
BrucevdkLanlost: I'm not sure if drawing black matters all that much :-) But I honestly don't know11:44
vladI don't need a sniffer,what is the equivalent command to ipconfig /all and ipcofig /flushdns11:44
penthiefHmmmm. Could someone with the bash-completion package installed try the following as root: 'update-rc.d <TAB>' Do you get an error?11:45
LanlostI though the problem was that LCDs have limited life specifically by color...11:45
Lanlostfor instance, I had a friend whos blue completely went out11:45
BrucevdkO_EDI: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk and possibly the Java configuration bit in OOo itself11:45
ninadspvlad: sorry. i dont know that... try ifconfig for the /all....... for flushdns try googling around...11:45
Paddy_EIRELanlost: that is just the way it goes.. nothing lasts forever11:46
vladthanks11:46
ninadspnp11:46
Lanlostright.. well if i draw black then that's going ot be a hell of a lot better than having a full desktop displaying at all times, even if the monitor brightness is down. I would think at least11:46
dayohow do i implement quotas in ubuntu?11:47
tabbaryou have to install windows to do that11:47
Lanlostsame thing as the blank screensaver without it disconnecting me11:47
Paddy_EIRELanlost: heh.. just using the blank screensaver would have been much easier11:47
dayo!quota > dayo11:47
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about quota11:47
ninadsp!package quota | dayo11:47

ianh99DASPRiD, Well I guess your just going to have to use the box and keep an eye out for errors or any pattern that causes a failure. Sorry can't help much more than that16:18
Eldaxdon have you installed the drivers yet?16:18
xdonI was trying to find what drivers i needed...this is an older laptop, not sure which i need16:18
sjust1216Morning all. I would like to move from 32bit to 64bit can I upgrade to do this or do I have to a clean install16:18
EldaOnce you get the drivers for you video card in, it will go to a native resolution, or normal for your laptop16:18
DASPRiDianh99, well then i try to reassemble all components and watch out16:18

epaphushi guys.. ubuntu has an icon to connect to networks.. wireless, wired and vpn... why is that the vpn options are gray?? how do i enable this?16:21
humeJeruvy, no, the program to set up the public key authentication.....16:21
ianh99hume ssh-keygen16:21
sjust1216I should say an option in the installer to select where home is16:21
humeianh99, no, got that one...the one to distrubute the key and set it all up...16:21
Jeruvyhume: if your using openssh, then ssh-keygen is the command16:21
clearscreenubuntu should ship geany instead of gedit as default text editor imo (possibly disabling the sidebar and info bar to make it more like gedit) :)16:22
humeJeruvy, ssh-keygen gives me the key, but there is a program to scp it to the server, set up the authorized_keys etc....16:22
ianh99hume, you have to copy the public key to the client machines by hand16:22
Jeruvyhume: yes it's called scp :)16:23

LjLgayatri: if you're seeing a graphical interface on your computer right now - that *is* X.17:02
jribDavide: I have version 10.  I can't recall if version 9 did fullscreen or not17:03
gayatrioh oka17:03
durybehappy: yeah because you have Synaptic open17:03
stefggayatri: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System17:03
jdukirb, I am not an expert on this, but you only actually need one, I think. It should probably point to your router, such as 192.168.0.117:03
PhotoJimgayatri: think of X as the part of Linux that interacts between the system and all the graphical applications you run.  it's the software system that lets graphics be done.  it's capable of a lot of really cool stuff.  you can even display graphics on another machine far away using X.17:03
duryclose it and then sudo apt-get install screem17:03
behappydury: Oh yes thank you17:03
jdukirb, your router should be repeating the dns service.17:03

xubeanhisto: no, i didn't think so either.. i mean it happens with opera and firefox, i have another laptop (with ubuntu and windows) and also a mac using the router and they are ok...17:59

joobabyno it just doesnt work18:02
joobabyi got updated flash and real player18:02
joobabymy friend thought it might be a problem with adobe flash18:02
xubeanjoobaby: so the page loads, with the flash showing up, but it doesn't starts?18:03
joobabylike if i try to watch something on youtube or nbc.com it just says done at the bottm18:03
joobabyright18:03
xubeanjoobaby: did you try in different browsers?18:03
joobabyno whats a good alternative browser for ubuntu?18:03
felixsullaWhen does the next version of Ubuntu come out? Will it come with FireFox3 and Oo3 by default?18:03
erUSULjoobaby: epiphany18:04
xubeanjoobaby: well if you're using gnome, there's epiphany, or for kde konquerer, or there's also opera which i like a lot18:04
Danish989hey, everyone18:04
Res2216firestarfelixsulla: I would think so, it comes out in 12 days.18:04

xubeanhi guys, can anybody help me? When I load up any webpage it takes a long time for the page to start loading. I've tried it with both firefox and opera, and it's even slower in opera... any help?18:06
Res2216firestarfelixsulla: If you have windows, try wubi: http://wubi-installer.org/18:06
felixsullaRes2216firestar: I'm thinking i shoudl wait for the next version, since its coming so soon?18:06
Res2216firestarfelixsulla: You can if you want, or just update when it comes out.18:07
felixsullaI've read reviews of Linux on the SL300, the only thing that worries me is issues with the wirless conecction.18:07

xubeanfelixsulla: usually wireless works without much problems, i dont' know why ppl keep saying that, but i've never had a problem.. may u'd like to wait for the latest release of ubuntu 9.04 april 30th or something like that18:09
youngmusicHey, this should be very simple, but i don't get it :-( I tried to mount an old ntfs partition and the prompt says: fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy. Normally i'd think the partition is mounted elsewhere, but that is not the case.18:09
felixsullaxubean: That's what I was thinking. My understanding is that Ubuntu is getting much better at working on a range of laptops as time goes on. I guess I'll just load it next to Vista just in case it doesnt work.18:10
=== sukke_ is now known as sukke
xubeanfelixsulla: yeah, you can either reboot, or you could use the live cd to first check whether wireless works or not in your particular laptop, without first installing. you do knwo about live cds or even better live usb drives now, don't you?18:11
=== Guest90195 is now known as Jean1
felixsullaI know about live cd's, I have one for 8.10, but live usb i assume is the same on a USB drive? Where do you get the live USB?18:11
Steeleyyou can create one in Intrepid, using the USB Disk Creator in the Administration menu18:12
Steeleythe only difference between the two is you can reserve some space on the USB disk for documents and such18:12
xubeanfelixsulla: yes, it's a USB drive, i won't go into all the details about creating a live USB, there Steeley just gave you the way also, but to test things out live cd works just fine i think.. esp. cause u haven't installed ubuntu yet..18:13
QpSmileyHello I have a problem I'm trying to use my TV as a monitor but I think the output of my PC isnt outputting to the Svideo cord im using.... can anyone help me?18:13
xubeani gotta run for a bit, gf calling for lunch! :)18:13
felixsullaI think I'll wait for the next version to drop, then test it on a live USB, then.18:13
felixsullaI assume you just need to set your BIOS to read from the USB first?18:13

ubuntun00b10997but I can't do it myself18:38
ubuntun00b10997I need help18:38
eseven73unanxbt, you could try photorec It recovers a lot more than just photos, some reason I don't see it in the repos but maybe theres a .deb for it somewhere18:38
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf: KDE4 will be  similar in  both18:38
sdfasdfasdfsadfah18:38
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf: and I prefer Kubuntu KDE3 :)  ,but you can't just get that18:38
sdfasdfasdfsadflol yeah kde318:38
unanxbteseven73, i deleted a .vob file (a dvd file)18:39
sdfasdfasdfsadfi miss the good ol days18:39
kruuthagain, does anyone know how I can mount an existing windoze raid1 in linux?18:39
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf:  well you can still have it and KDE4 if you well  figure out how to have them both working well together, or virtual machine  8.04 for KDE318:39
ubuntun00b10997I have an atheros 5007eg wireless card, and I can't connect wirelessly to my router18:39
eseven73unanxbt, well like I said search around for photorec, it might be able to recover that file18:39
ubuntun00b10997Madwifi won't let me wget the stuff18:39
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf: sadly they have stopped making KDE3, but even so I think it should have been an option in the repo for 8.10 and 9.04, but no18:39
sdfasdfasdfsadfi use f1018:40
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf: heh what are you doing here then?18:40
unanxbteseven73, ok, lemme check18:40

dumdumzcan someone help me please? I have no menu.lst and stuck at the grub command line when trying to boot18:41
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf: well how much computer does your ram have? ,because if you got enough you can  virtual machine Kubuntu and try for yourself18:41
rubberduckyi use my second one for metwork pentesting on my own network, but the networking applet always connects it to my network18:41

tarikменя видно?18:42
ubuntun00b10997...........18:42
unoprubberducky, pretty much .. but there's a format in which you do that.  see the interfaces(5) manpage.  i.e.  man 5 interfaces18:43
stickboykruuth, damn. wanted to use svideo out to my hdtv but i guess not. i guess simple vga would be better.18:43

ubuntun00b10997and I have no clue about this stuff18:44
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf: it will let you run  Kubuntu inside Fedora18:44
rubberduckyunop, and then nm-applet will ignore them?18:44

sdfasdfasdfsadfi dont feel like doing so18:45

ChrisHerleinSomeone knows that where can i download xubuntu screensavers?18:45
kruuthobtw, svideo maxes at 576i in pal but that's it18:45
sebsebsebChrisHerlein: I don't think there are any screensavers for Xubuntu,  or as such18:45
sebsebsebsdfasdfasdfsadf: I started with Fedora Core 2 by the way18:45
rubberduckyunop, if i add auto wlan1 and i take out en put the adapter back in, nm-applet still controls it?18:45
ChrisHerleinOk, thankyou18:45
rubberduckydo i need to restart the system?18:46
ubuntun00b10997Can I run a website straight from my laptop without having to pay for anything provided my network is configured correctly?18:46
Steeleyyes18:46
ubuntun00b10997Cool.18:46
unoprubberducky, nm-applet will ignore any interfaces specified in the interfaces file. you might have to restart the networking and network-manager services.18:46
icqnsdfasdfasdfsadf, in my opinion the best kde support and look is in opensuse18:46
kruuthyes you can18:46
othellixhelp18:47
kruuthyou can run a site off a laptop18:47

meoblast001how do you download a deb with apt-get... i want to download it to the working directory18:48
ubuntun00b10997What about a desktop?18:48
emagmantIm curios to see how many ppl are doing a clean install of 9.04 or a distribution upgrade?18:48
sebsebsebubuntun00b10997: same thing for the standard desktop18:48
ubuntun00b10997So I need a server system?18:48
ubuntun00b10997D:18:48
sebsebsebubuntun00b10997: probably better running it on the lap top then the desktop though18:48
sebsebsebubuntun00b10997: no you don't need server hardware18:49
ubuntun00b10997It's possible, thoughm isn;t it?18:49
sebsebsebubuntun00b10997: just  your lap top  or  desktop may work for longer, if it's not left on all the time18:49
eseven73just get Ubuntu server edition18:49
sebsebseb!lamp | ubuntun00b10997:18:49
ubottuubuntun00b10997:: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)18:49
sebsebsebeseven73: no he can run LAMP in the desktop editition :)18:49
icqnsdfasdfasdfsadf, yes, that is also true. 768 is on limit18:49
eseven73server edition has a different kernel18:49
icqnsdfasdfasdfsadf, use gnone then, it will be faster18:50
sebsebsebubuntun00b10997: of course for a real website, you  still need to pay someone for a domain name, but those are pretty cheap these days  I think18:50
ubuntun00b10997what about18:50
ubuntun00b10997wait18:50
ubuntun00b10997by domain name, do you mean url?18:50

eseven73yes18:51

sebsebsebubuntun00b10997: ok  Ubuntu server edition,  if your only going to use that computer to host a website18:51
ubuntun00b10997now18:52
eseven73and you can put a lightweight window manager on it like fluxbox18:52
ubuntun00b10997could you gutys help with my driver18:52
sebsebsebeseven73: saying this in the suppourt channel may be a bit bad, but not many people run Ubuntu servers,   Debian and Redhat and so on, but Ubuntu, nah18:52
eseven73thats why you install fluxbox on it silly18:52
sebsebsebeseven73: well  people don't even need a GUI, if they know what they are doing properly :d18:53
jakedpubuntu server kernel is configured nicely for server though and don' t have the bloat with server dition you do with red hat18:53
ubuntun00b10997why is everyone so reluctant to answer my driver questions?18:53

joop_hello..i just upgraded my memory to 2 gigs....however, the system is recognizing only 1 gig....is this a bug?19:47
cellofellowDigitalMan➜ ok, yeah 15 minutes is too long19:47
DigitalManShould I try 8.10 then just upgrade it to 9.04?19:47
unopPupeno, in debian/ubuntu.. runlevel 2-5 are all the same, runlevel 2 is the default.. so i'd say /etc/rc2.d19:47
cellofellowDigitalMan➜ when you get to the boot menu, hit F6 and remove the "splash quiet" options so you can actually see what's happening.19:47
cellofellowDigitalMan➜ or, if you really do want to install, use the alternate CD.19:48

Gneameshuggah: yes, while the minimum specs do say 256mb on the requirements, it is, just that: the minimum required.  that doesn't guarantee that it's going to be any faster.  elivecd is based on ubuntu but only requires 64mb of ram and a 100mhz cpu.21:44

Sylarwhats wubi mean22:32
sebsebseb!wubi |  Sylar22:32
ubottuSylar: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug.22:32
zcat[1]ActionParsnip1, well, kinda.. you get a feel for what it's like with windows hardware performance, minimal generic hardware support, and no 3d22:32
martinkoelewijnxarus: try without parameter: gksudo shutdown now22:33
Sylarcoo22:33
sebsebsebSylar: it's a bit pointless partitining your hard disk for 8.10 now,  with 9.04 just round the corner and all that22:33
ActionParsnip1zcat[1]: true but you can install apps and stuff but i get your point22:33
Wickedanyone have any clue as to why sound will just stop working in ubuntu? nothing will play or have sound.22:33
megworldSylar: you can install 8.10 and when 9.04 comes out you can upgrade easily22:33
treffendconforming to RFC1459 and others, b22:33
treffend  Modus  +tncLfJ #ubuntu-unregged22:33
sebsebsebSylar: you can upgrade 8.10 to 9.04, but  you can't get full Ext4 suppourt that way22:33
sebsebsebSylar: the file system yeah22:34
Sylari want to try it out first because i did the mistake of installing suse and it wasn't all to good22:34
Sylari heard good things about ubuntu though22:34
megworldSylar: the extra speed of ext4 wouldn't isn't something not to install over22:34
sprinkmeierSylar, run it off the live CD if all you want to do is try it out for a bit22:34
sebsebsebmegworld: says a reiserfs fan22:34
dotblankSylar: Ext4 is only available if you manually set up the partition and tell it to format as ext422:34
megworldSylar ubuntu is good for beginers however it does also have a lot for the experanced user to do22:35
Sylari really wanted to use it on a virtualmachine instead of burning it on a cd22:35
sebsebsebSylar: you don't need to burn wubi to a CD22:35
sebsebsebSylar: you just download it22:35
zcat[1]sprinkmeier, of course running it off the live cd also has drawbacks; you're limited in what you can add to the system, and performance is terrible22:35
Ned__I've been trying to install virtualbox 2.1.4 on ubuntu 8.10 and I just can't seem to do it. I've been wondering if there's some kind of a conflict with these two. I've only been able to install virtualbox 2.0.4. I'm a newbie so maybe I'm just doing something wrong.22:35
megworldSylar: you might be able to use a lighter gui in virtual machine but gnome will be a little heavy22:35
sebsebsebSylar: and I would recommend getting the wubi 8.04 version rather than the 8.10 version, but only, because you can  then install KDE3 from the repo :)   the older  very stable desktop environment22:35
sprinkmeierzcat[1], worse than a VM where the host has 512M or RAM? perhaps....22:35
megworldyou might want to try xubuntu insted22:35
sebsebsebSylar: as well as KDE4,   if you want to see all the main stuff, what I said ;)22:36
user_Ned__: why do you need 2.1.4?22:36
martinkoelewijnxarus: otherwise write script in texteditor; first line !#/bin/bash second line your command you used last days; save as .sh then in command entry for launcher fill in sh /path/to/file.sh22:36

Ned__useer_, I don't know that I need it. I just thought it would be best because it's the latest version.22:36
xarusthis one works gksudo shutdown now22:36
zcat[1]Sylar, I'd agree with doing a wubi install. You don't need to burn a CD just install a virtual CD driver (daemon tools? alcohol120%?) and use wubi from there22:36
sebsebsebSylar: then  you can get a 9.04 CD  sorted out,  and install that later on.   9.04 is released on April 23rd by the way22:36
martinkoelewijnxarus: hurray, there you go22:37
sprinkmeiermartinkoelewijn, xarus that's "#!/bin/bash"22:37

megworldSylar: the irc channel #megworld has a good small amount of users which can help you get ubuntu running on little ram howver we will probabaly help you run it without gnome and use a lighter gui22:37

sprinkmeiermatamou, there should be a few extra lines. The imporant things are the vendor and product ID. You should be able to google for those (include "ubuntu" inthe search) to find ifg anyone else has had any problems. Also, check the last few lines of /var/log/messages to see what you system thinks of the new device22:42

megworldLouis: nothing sudo is intended to run indervidual commands23:07
jdwarta1lol23:07
Louismegworld:  that's what i figured.  cool thanks!23:07
vitopomawhy grub gives me error 2 when i try to chaiload it?23:08
vitopomawhy grub gives me error 2 when i try to chainload it?23:08
megworldjdwarta1: there are some poeple around irc/forums and other places which seek to get you to run dangrous commands for this reason you only use root when you know what the command does23:08
zidanis root for getting permission23:08
ultimatelifeformHey, will my GeForce GO 6150 card work with Ubuntu?23:08
exodus_ms!hardware23:08
ubottuFor lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection23:08
ActionParsnip1ultimatelifeform: yep as i use one23:08
ultimatelifeformActionParsnip1: what driver version?23:08
megworlda top tip is if the command has just / in it you should really request a secondry source to verify the command23:08
ActionParsnip1ultimatelifeform: sudo apt-get instal nvidia-glx-180; sudo nvidia-xconfig23:08
epqr_mzidan: root can mess with all files onthe system23:08
Louiszidan:  root gives you access to all files and directories in your installation.  needless to say it is very dangerous.  Use sudo instead23:09
epqr_mfull premission23:09
ultimatelifeformActionParsnip1: Ok, with SUSE I have to compile it and everything. :(23:09
zidanjust what i thought23:09
ultimatelifeformAnd they're telling me that I can't do a one click install.23:09
vitopomamaybe usb hard disk is not supported in grub?23:09
unopLouis, that's as if to say sudo will protect you from all things dangerous :) when it doesn;t.23:09
ActionParsnip1ultimatelifeform: you can use the file from www.nvidia.com23:09
ActionParsnip1ultimatelifeform: in suse23:09
Louisunop:  right. i didn't mean to imply that... but if i'm not mistaken, sudo is considered to be preferable because of the timeout23:10
RoastedShouldn't Linux computers be able to ping one another by hostname?? I cannot figure out for the life of me why I can only ping by ip23:10
megworldsudo is just as dangrous as su23:10
Ned__If I install windows 7 on virtualbox 2.0.4, then later upgrade to 2.1.4, is that going to be a problem?23:10
Verruckteraah23:11
Verruckterwell, it seems to have worked23:11
megworldNed__: shouldn't be i don't think23:11
cjb_ieRoasted: do your nameservers know about the hostnames?23:11
unopLouis, well, it's preferrable if you want to run something as another user (temporarily perhaps) - but it doesn't timeout when you do something like,   sudo -i23:11
deanyNed__, upgrade the guest additions, should be ok23:11
Ned__ok thanks23:11
Verruckterexcept I still get that error when I try to launch the nvidia x server settings23:11
wyni lost my 8.10(64) internet connection after i install vmware workstation 6.523:11
Verruckterbut my resolution is fine now23:11
Louisunop:  right, but for most purposes, sudo -i is a bad idea, isn't it/23:11
wyni uninstall the vmware but i still don't get back my internet connection23:12
zidanis anyone here running on a 64 bit version of linux23:12
wynhow can i troubleshoot it23:12
unopLouis, is it? that's a relative disposition .. you do need it sometimes. but it's so convenient, you don't want to build a habit out of it.23:12
wyni can ping the gateway fine but i cannot go out to the internet23:12
eseven73!enter | wyn23:13
ubottuwyn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!23:13
vitopomais it possible chainload grub with grub?23:13
Louisunop:  i think we're actually in agreement here =)  sudo is preferable unless some third consideration makes sudo -i more convenient.23:13
wynsrry ubottu, i will do so to ur suggestion. a bit frustrated with the problem atm ....23:13
Roastedcjb_ie - What do you mean? I havent dealt with namservers...23:13

eiliosWater, the first thing you should do is install what you want23:15
wynlol23:15
watermoufim running the updates now23:15
unopLouis, well, you could say that. but i'm not in favour of the argument that sudo should be favoured over other means of becoming the superuser .. if that makes sense?23:15
watermouf287 of them23:15
NavazEverything is fine but the internet connection is the trouble for me23:15
zidani got it on my laptop=)23:15

eiliosI have an nvidia card too23:15
HassanakevazirVerruckter, then you are using the nvidia driver, I don't know what the nvidia-settings behaves that way, maybe a complete reboot? just guessing...23:15
Hassanakevazirwhy*23:16
Louisunop:  yeah i see what you're saying.  I tend to be too careful anyway =)  Anyway, we can leave it at that23:16
watermoufits a geforce go 6150 i think23:16

NavazHowever, the connection is greyed out...23:16
watermoufwhats envy ?23:16
watermoufthe driver apps suggests a new driver23:16
NavazAny help would be greatly appreicatable.23:16
Louis!envy|watermouf23:16
ubottuwatermouf: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia drivers, which can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" or "envyng-qt". It is NOT a supported method to install them; please only use it at your own risks if standard methods fail - See !nVidia23:16
NavazI have few documents but nothing helped me as such23:16
Verruckteryeah, well, when I rebooted xserver, I had that window prompt where it asked my to chose the driver according to the card series and the monitor model I had23:16
watermoufbut when i go to acitivate it starts to download and just cancels out23:16
Louiswatermouf:  that said, i use it on many machines23:16

eiliosHmm23:16
eiliosThat happens sometimes23:16
Verrucktersorry, i'll try to reboot*23:17

knoxvillewatermouf, Woo Woo! linux!23:18
Louiswatermouf, you came to the right place23:18
watermoufi still have xp on dual boot23:18
knoxvilleLinux is where hopes and dreams come true!23:18
watermoufbut hopefully i can merge over to ubuntu23:19
eiliosWatermouf, if you find yourself stressed out in the terminal type "apt-get moo"23:19
eiliosWithout quotations23:19
Ned__fx3, nothing happens...no timestamp...that's the problem23:19
knoxvillewatermouf, thats fine, most people do at first23:19
JessicaParkercan anyone assist on the best partition sizes for a new ubuntu server installation - just need some advice ?23:19
JessicaParkerthanks23:19
knoxvillewatermouf, learn about virtualization so you can run multiple os at same time23:19
watermoufthe terminal seems to be the dos of ubuntu correct ?23:19
Louiswatermouf:  actually a lot of seasoned *nix users have a small windows partition... you just never know when you'll need to run some obscure software23:19
ActionParsnip1!ask | Navaz23:19

ActionParsnip1watermouf: kinda but terminal has a million times more power23:19
watermoufit reminds me of logging into cisco routers23:20
fx3Ned__, eeeer hold on23:20
thebackwashjessicapa: maybe you can tell us a little more about what you're doing with the machine23:20
fx3Ned__, /set stamp_text = on23:20
clouder`grris there a difference between dvd-rw and dvd+rw in terms of bootable, longevity, or anything other than just ensuring your writer supports it?23:20
fx3Ned__, this isnt really an ubuntu specific question, however, ill let you off this time23:20
ActionParsnip1watermouf: i think cisco uses a modifed unix os of sorts23:20
Ned__fx3 ok...sorry23:20
watermoufso is there a online refrence somebody could refer me too that could help me get famiralized with the terminal23:20
watermoufim a dos expert lol23:20

eseven73clouder`grr, good question, I never could figure out whats the diff of dvd/cd + RW and dvd/cd -RW23:21
fx3Ned__,23:21
eseven73both have 'rw'23:21
Louiswatermouf:  well you can google tutorials of basic terminal commands, but at the end of the day, the more you use the terminal (and look up specific commands), the more comfortable you'll get with it23:21
RedMushroomhow do i search for things i can install with sudo apt-get install?23:21
ActionParsnip1clouder`grr: i think its a layout thing, 2 standards were released and both were taken equally, new drives can use both equally, neither is any better23:21

Shinu!free23:25
ubottufreedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing23:25
eiliosWater: Ubuntu is a huge step up from mac. Mac focuses on making their system usable out of the box, but they don't let you configure your system. With linux you can configure nearly anything.23:25
watermoufubuntu is closer to osx than windows23:25
eiliosWatermouf: If you want it to be more like windows try KDE23:25
watermoufbut has almost a perfect combination of the two23:25
thebackwashwatermouf: check out windowshade x for mac23:25
jdwartawatermouf: maybe i have an advantage......a mac was my first computer23:25
nightrid3rLouis: i mean look and feel23:25

x0dFreedom is best when its both free as in speech and free as in beer23:26
Louisnightrid3r:  you mean with gnome?23:26
eseven73I think osx is based on UNIX not Linux. least thats what ive always thought23:26
thebackwashwatermouf: it will let you change the minimization behavior, including classic macos-style windowshade23:26
watermoufi dunno the difference between unix or linux23:26

thebackwashok all i got a thought23:26
x0djdwarta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)23:26
thebackwashsee what you think23:26
fx3eilios, still, i hate the fact that all linux window managers try to impersonate windows, like, none that do what macs have, use of keyboard, the app windows, etc23:26
RoastedIn XP, you can ping other computers by hostname just fine. In Linux, I'm trying to ping another Linux computer on the network I cannot, yet pinging by IP works. Does Linux not support pinging by hostname or something???23:26
watermouffrom what i understand linux/unix is just the terminal23:27
watermoufubuntu is like a fancy gui23:27
watermoufam i correct23:27

adi1hi all23:28
agrumeroasterd I can ping other computer by linux23:28
ActionParsnip1Roasted: ive seen this, is your routers ip listed in /etc/resolv.conf23:28
fx3Roasted, in windows you are pinging by NetBIOS name, or something, so linux uses only propper DNS resolving. Computer names wont work in linux unless you run a DNS server23:28
thebackwashlike, you can choose to exercise your freedom of speech, or not, but it's still there regardless23:28
jdwartax0d: have u read about NExT?    great little program23:28
slerderHey guys I have a truecrypt volume (an entire partition) and it doesnt show up in ubuntu "Computer" where all the rest of the drives are. Howver when I made a new partition and then encrypted it with truecrypt this one does show up in ubuntu and windows. Any idea on how to make the partition not show up anywhere? thanks23:28

agrumeroasted: what is your problem exactly?23:28
x0dNextstep?23:28
jdwartax0d:  if Steve Jobs hadn't been so stuborn, thats what we would all be using instead of XP23:28
fx3Roasted, a quick fix would be to add the hosts you want to /etc/resolv.conf23:29
fx3ActionParsnip1, i have never got that to work, if you can explain it to Roasted and me i would be very glad =)23:29
watermoufanyway i can turn off annoucnemnts for people entering and exiting this room23:29
watermoufim using pigdin the default chat client23:29

watermoufthis is linux tho right23:30
ActionParsnip1Roasted: fx3: add a line     nameserver 192.168.0.1      assuming thats your routers ip23:30
Zirg(fam dingers, anyhow)23:30
watermoufi was told we can customize anything23:30
fx3ActionParsnip1, ill pretend to read that as sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf23:30
watermouf:P23:30
ActionParsnip1fx3: whatever editor floats your boat23:30
eiliosWater: Try Xchat23:30
Ned__watermouf, yeah if your screen is small its hard to keep up23:30
watermoufwell im on a laptop running 800X600 cuz of my video driver situation23:30
eiliosXchat is the mIRC of cross-platform clients23:30
ActionParsnip1watermouf: the linux bit is the kernel, the thing around it is a distribution of linux23:31
fx3ActionParsnip1, yea, got the line there from the start, anything else?23:31
watermoufthat was my other question any good website with database of linux software23:31
ActionParsnip1fx3: that should do it23:31
deanyXchat is free mind you on linux, and not on windows.23:31
adi1anyone use epiphany browser here?23:31
Ned__I tried chatting on pidgin and didn't like it23:31
watermoufi just dont want to install a ton of software off the bat23:31
ActionParsnip1Ned__: thats like marmite, either love it or hate it23:31
fx3ActionParsnip1, hmm, perhaps my router is *too* basic ?23:31
watermoufanother question sorry23:31
popeyyum!23:31
deanyChatzilla is good too.23:31
popey(marmite hilight)23:32
watermoufif i install at ton of software23:32
watermoufand unistall23:32
watermoufdo they leave fingerprints23:32
watermouflike windows unisntalls always do23:32
RoastedActionParsnip1 - I'm confused over something. Say I would set up a network of 2,000 Ubuntu machines. Essentially, unless I edited each one, I wouldn't be able to ping ANY of them without the IP. Right?23:32
FloodBot2watermouf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.23:32
deanyonly in ~23:32
popeywatermouf: no, not if you purge them23:32
ActionParsnip1fx3: possibly, i use hosts files anyhoo, all my desktops are on static so it makes stuff fastter for resolving names23:32
eiliosWater: That's a windows issue.23:32
jdwartadeany: what is the command-line code to install Xchat23:32
Louiswatermouf:  the only thing which i believe is left behind is configuration files.  try "sudo apt-get remove --purge"23:32
mythmanHad a brain fade how do I install Mythbuntu on a Ubuntu 8.10 desktop install23:32
watermoufsorry!23:32
eiliossudo apt-get install xchat23:32
popeywatermouf: in fact if you autoremove they remote the package and the dependants23:32
nightrid3rfx3: if your router is to basic you can use these nameservers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.22023:32
Ned__ActionParsnip1, are there people in here that actually prefers chatting on IRC on pidgin to other clients?23:32
deanythey usually leave a .name in your home folder.. even with purge.23:32
fx3ActionParsnip1, ahh, fair enough, cant use that in my situation23:32
deanysadly23:32
ActionParsnip1Ned__: i do23:32
eiliosJd: Sudo apt-get install xchat23:33
Ned__ActionParsnip1, I see23:33
fx3nightrid3r, what i ment is local area network resolution, like XP is able to do, not the whole internet DNS thing23:33
watermoufbut the unistalls arent as messy and windows ? where it leaves dll and other strange shit in 10 different folders23:33
ultimatelifeformcan I get my broadcom 43xx and nVidia graphics card working in Kubuntu 8.04?23:33
deanywatermouf, not at all23:33
nightrid3rfx3: sorry, my bad23:33
craig131_I would switch to ubuntu if iTunes worked on it23:33
ActionParsnip1Ned__: i use about 7 of its other protocols so its nonesensical to use an extra app when the pidgin i use for the other chats does what i need for irc23:33
eiliosWater: Try to watch the language, but that is not the case23:33
deanywatermouf, only talkin config files, for your particular user.23:33
Louiscraig131_  have you tried songbird or amarok?23:33
RoastedActionParsnip1 - Was I correct?23:34
mrwes+1 on Pidgin -- not bad for irc23:34
deanyeasy to just rm -rf .name23:34
fx3watermouf, sometime programs leave configuration files that have been edited after installation, but thats not a problem since they arent executed or anything, most of them reside in the /etc folder23:34
jdwartacraig131_: I like amarok23:34
Louiswatermouf:  afaik, no.  uninstalls are very clean in linux. this is because of shared libraries, as i understand it23:34
aaronatorhi everyone23:34
ActionParsnip1Roasted: then you would need to edit your dhcp servers to give out the info for dns servers, you should also run a dns server to speed up name resolution23:35
eiliosHello.23:35

* PhxMan needs help disabeling screensaver through a command line. Once I enter the screensaver program my computer locks "molecules" freezes everything23:35
craig131_@louis: yea but I'd like to use the iTunes store23:35
RedWarGuys, out of everyone here, Iam sure that some ppl here have played eve online, anyone here ever able to get the last version working here?23:35
aaronatorhow's the support going today23:35
eiliosRedWar: Try WINE23:35
Louiscraig131_  aaah... you pay for music =)23:35
RoastedActionParsnip1 - I'm just confused over how XP does this out of the box but it seems like a lot of editing is needed JUST to enable Linux machines to ping one another by hostname, which I find kind of ridiculous.23:35
fx3aaronator, ask a question and we'll see ;)23:35
Ned__ActionParsnip1, ok, sorry for assuming not many people like it23:36
ActionParsnip1Roasted: why cant windows mount iso without the need for extra software23:36
mrwesheh23:36
eiliosLouis: Why do you prefer iTunes? MagnaTune is pretty good.23:36
RedWarElllod is that actually working for u?23:36
jdwarta_i think i like pidgin better23:36
watermoufso what are other popular linux distrubutions23:36
ActionParsnip1Roasted: its a different OS with different quirks23:36
mrwesor read PDF's23:36
watermoufi have heard of redhat for years23:36
ActionParsnip1Ned__: i love it23:36
RoastedActionParsnip1 - Yeah yeah, I understand that, but something like a simple networking option like PING you'd think would logically be set up already.23:36
craig131_@louis haha yep I'm old fashioned23:36
ActionParsnip1Ned__: assume nothing23:36
Louiseilios:  i don't use itunes...23:36
fx3Roasted, XP uses a proprietary name resolution protocol on top of DNS, it is both slow and buggy, implementing it in linux would be a waste, Choose DNS23:36
mrsteveman1Roasted: as stated before, Windows is using WINS, not DNS, to resolve those computer names23:36
eiliosLouis: Pardon, Craig.23:36
TeamColtraHey I have a weird problem and I do not even know how to really discribe it: Currently I am putting Ubuntu on a laptop of mine, and when it first installs (and in LiveCD) the desktop goes off the screen (like its too big to fit). So I found the proper resolution and set it to that; but now my screen has like 4 copies of itself in strips accross the screen, and there is lines through it23:36
mrsteveman1Linux does implement WINS, its part of samba23:36
aaronatorfx3: how can I upgrade the firmware on my scr331 smartcard reader without using a windows box23:36
Roastedmrsteveeman1 - Ahh, I forgot about wins...23:36

PhxManDoes anyone know how to delete the preferences from screensaver or disable screen saver without opening the program? It locks my computer everytime it runs!!!23:37
craig131_Lol23:37
RoastedActionParsnip1 - So more or less, if I had 2 thousand Ubuntu machines to set up, what would I have to do to enable each one to ping one another by hostname?23:37
ActionParsnip1Roasted: maybe your system needs extra stuff to resolve the name, maybe your router is lacking something, who knows23:37
ActionParsnip1Roasted: works fine here23:37
aaronator^^;23:37
Zirgwhat does the error     cannot configure (current status `config-files')    mean to me? is it trying to tell me that some config files needs handled, somewhere? (no curses windows are open)23:37
RoastedActionParsnip1 - You have two Ubuntu machines on your LAN that can pign one another by hostname??23:37
ActionParsnip1Roasted: indeed23:38
RedWarEverytime I have tried to  install, it gets stuck23:38
mrsteveman1Roasted: if you had 2000 ubuntu machines to setup, you would probably be using a directory service, which would include identity management and a domain server23:38
martinkoelewijnPhxMan: use top, check what process uses all your cpu and kill with "kill pid", pid being the pid number, the first number on the line23:38
RoastedActionParsnip1 - Well, that only enrages me. I have no idea what's messed up with my LAN then. Even my iBook cannot ping by hostname to my Ubuntu machines.23:38
ActionParsnip1Roasted: i'd run a local dns server for anything more than 10 systems for name resolutions23:38
fx3Roasted, if you want this kind of functionality out of the box you should look at something like mDNS responder, or something alike. ZeroConf DNS or something23:38
RoastedActionParsnip1 - Are you running a DNS server now? Or do you just have a simple lan with a router?23:38
ActionParsnip1Roasted: check in your router for dhcp clients and it should be listed23:39
AquahallicAfternoon folks23:39
PhxManHey Martinkoelewij. what is top? Once the screensaver starts I can't do anything like try to kill the program23:39
ultimatelifeformcan I get my nVidia card and Broadcom wireless working in Kubuntu 8.04?23:39
ActionParsnip1Roasted: i have a dns on my fileserver, speeds up web browsing slightly23:39
martinkoelewijnPhxMan: in Preferences > screensaver you can modify settings, or is that freezing?23:39
ActionParsnip1Roasted: so everything i need is in there23:39
RoastedActionParsnip1 - I did, Im looking at my router's DHCP table right now. I can see all of the computers DHCP IP address and the computer name of each. Yet I CANNOT ping any of them on my Ubuntu machine, whether it's another Ubuntu computer or XP, but I CAN ping all of them via IP.23:39
ultimatelifeformcan I get my nVidia card and Broadcom wireless working in Kubuntu 8.04?23:40
ActionParsnip1Roasted: then i dont know what to advise23:40
TeamColtraHonestly, if someone could tell me simply what to call the screen doing what its doing.. because googling "weird screen resoultion" is a bit broad :P23:40
AquahallicI compiled a driver for a hauppauge card using V4L that was not in the ubuntu package list.. I now need to remove it.... I did a Make && Make Install... how would I go about uninstalling this driver and kernel modules?23:40

Zirgultimatelifeform, i've used both, w/o issue in 8.04 and up23:40
ActionParsnip1ultimatelifeform: sure, what broadcom chip?23:40
RoastedActionParsnip1 - Are you suggesting that if my router can pick up the computer hostnames + DHCP IP addresses then there's no reason why my Ubuntu computer cannot ping another computer on the LAN via hostname?23:40

ultimatelifeformkk23:41
ActionParsnip1Roasted: if its in the router it should be translatable23:41
mrsteveman1Roasted: run hostname on the machine you are trying to ping with, if it doesn't know it is supposed to be part of a domain it won't know how to resolve a single hostname23:41

spunkRedMushroom: 755 on directories, 644 on files.23:43
RoastedI'm still just kind of surprised that Ubuntu can't handle this out of the box. I thought something as simple as ping via hostname would work fine. I mean I can ping web sites by their domain name, I just can't ping local computers on my router, which is laughable and confusing.23:43
mrwesRedMushroom, I believe /etc is 075523:43
ActionParsnip1Roasted: maybe you just need some small extra config adding, log a bug23:43
nightrid3rRoasted: the problem is in your router, not in ubuntu23:43
martinkoelewijnPhxMan:  you need root right for that, be careful with that though. Use gksudo nautilus. Better first try to find useful key in gconf editor23:43
ActionParsnip1Roasted: loggin bugs gets things fixed23:43

ActionParsnip1RedWar: #winehq23:44

eiliosThe idea of linux is the admin is a seperate account that other users can use23:45

RedMushroomActionParsnip1: lovely. *sigh* wonderful advice i got here today23:50
RoastedActionParsnip1 - I understand, I didn't know it would log as multiple lines. It's still ridiculous I got muted when I didn't intentionally try that. But, whatever.23:50
mrsteveman1Roasted: it needs to be part of the dhcp information your router hands out, otherwise typing a single hostname without a .com or anything after it won't be searchable23:50

RedMushroomActionParsnip1: i just discovered that23:50
Roastedmrsteveman1 - So you're saying when I ping I must have more tagged with it than the hostname itself? I.E. this computer is named "skynet"... it must be skynet + additional stuff?23:51

PhxManmartinkoelewijn:  thank you for your help23:56
Roastedmrsteveman1 - Okay. I'm just trying to figure out if the Ubuntu thing with pinging and DNS is a Linux PROBLEM or if its something that would exist in Windows without WINS too.23:56
lepineRoasted: problem? eg, uber long waits between sending pings?23:57
mrsteveman1Roasted: its not an ubuntu problem, i can say for certain that if your router passes the search domain to all dhcp clients, and if those clients are named in the router config, pinging by hostname would work23:57
martinkoelewijnPhxMan: idle_activation_enabled will toggle on / off screensaver. But if it works its ok23:57
mrsteveman1Roasted: i believe your router is not doing this though23:57

ConvictedFelonHello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to remove currently installed packages that a download script does not contain? anybody know?23:58
lepinevidor, about?23:58
mrsteveman1Roasted: there is probably a way to check, perhaps open the network configuration on your ubuntu desktop, it should list a domain alongside the ip information23:58
Roastedlepine - Long story short... I have 4 computers in front of me. Two Ubuntu desktops, Mac iBook laptop, and XP laptop. I cannot ping Ubuntu to Ubuntu via hostname, but I CAN ping via IP address. I've just been discussing with the others here as to why that is, and it seems the common consensus is I may have a DNS issue with my router, and the reason XP works is due to XP's usage of WINS.23:58
fx3mrsteveman1, will defining search <domain> in resolv.conf fix it?23:58
lepineRoasted: interesting ...23:58
vidorreverting back to the nice looking ubuntu gnome login in screen instead of the kde launch/login screen?23:58
mrsteveman1fx3: i'm not sure if thats a valid config option for resolv.conf but if it is, yes23:58
lepineRoasted: look into your dhcp.conf ... see if you're sending a hostname23:59
