| plcTowlie | I'm having a major problem with skype on a fresh ubuntu install. This is a repeat issue on two separate PC's. After installing ubuntu, and doing all updates, I added Medibuntu and installed skype. When I launch skype, the window for the EULA appears briefly then dissapears. The only message given in the terminal is 'Aborted'. Google has been no help so far. Anyone have an idea on what could be wrong? | 00:08 |
| tty3 | Now :) | 00:08 |
| tom__ | I just deleted the contents of tmp and my comp is acting very weirdly now | 00:08 |

| simNIX | tom are you runing a webserver oorso ? | 00:14 |
| lukeW | tom__; someone else was mentioning that earlier | 00:14 |
| Ben90 | im thinking when zsnes is in sdl output the buffer is wrong | 00:14 |
| lukeW | tom__; someone called otm | 00:14 |
| lukeW | was it you? | 00:14 |
| tom__ | simNIX: no I don't know what that is | 00:15 |
| lukeW | Ben90; sorry - I don't know what the problem is | 00:15 |
| simNIX | tom - connectinos from tor to what port ? | 00:15 |
| MarkJones | noodlesgc: Whats the proper way to use this checkinstall? I tried in a terminal window, checkinstall -D ****.tar.gz. Says package build failed. | 00:15 |
| Ben90 | how would i go about changing the sdl latency? | 00:15 |

| Ben90 | nothing helped me | 00:16 |
| darkpixel | Ben90: oki then | 00:16 |

| Ben90 | is there a setting that I can chane to make zsnes not sound so choppy? | 00:17 |

| tom__ | through mainly 8001 and 80 | 00:20 |
| darkpixel | Ben90: why | 00:20 |
| Ben90 | why what? | 00:20 |
| simNIX | maybe do a nmap on your box to see if doors that shouldnt be open are open | 00:20 |
| vxroot | mgolisch, nothing | 00:20 |
| simNIX | (tom) | 00:20 |
| scunizi | danaka: handbreak.fr | 00:20 |
| darkpixel | Ben90: why is a invalid page | 00:21 |
| simNIX | tom netstat -l is a start but could show not all | 00:21 |
| danaka | thank you scunizi | 00:21 |
| mrwes | danaka, +1 for handbrake | 00:21 |
| Ben90 | thats what it said when i went to it. | 00:21 |
| scunizi | danaka: np.. it's a good program | 00:21 |
| danaka | score, thanks guys | 00:21 |
| mgolisch | vxroot: does it export a blockdevice with the windows drivers? | 00:21 |
| darkpixel | Ben90: it loads fine here, sorry | 00:21 |
| Ben90 | maybe you got it wrong. | 00:22 |
| mgolisch | vxroot: i remeber i had to install some prog to switch the devices mode to access the modem portion of the devuce | 00:22 |
| vxroot | mgolisch, nope, it doesn't | 00:22 |
| Ben90 | i'll try again. | 00:22 |
| darkpixel | Ben90: google with "zsnes choppy" | 00:22 |
| darkpixel | Ben90: first link | 00:22 |
| Ben90 | ok | 00:23 |
| tom__ | simNX - I don't really understand what's going on in netstat -l | 00:23 |
| mgolisch | vxroot: maybe have a look at the dmesg commands output after plugin it in | 00:23 |
| DoubleDose | do you think ubuntu would run smoothly on a laptop with a 1.3ghz processor and 256 mb ram? | 00:23 |
| simNIX | tom; it shows ports on your box that are open for connections simply put | 00:23 |
| mgolisch | vxroot: probably it creates some /dev/ttyusbX device which you can use to access the modem | 00:23 |
| Ben90 | darkpixel? | 00:24 |
| vxroot | mgolisch, hummm, i gonna see | 00:24 |
| tom__ | simNX, ah okay, but how do I close those ports? i cant see the option on my firewall | 00:24 |
| simNIX | tom if you have ports listening then you should have set them up - if ports open that shouldnt be thats worying | 00:24 |
| Ben90 | can you tell me where i can get the low-latency kernel patch? | 00:24 |
| shiznebit | DoubleDose: not ubuntu,but try xubuntu | 00:24 |
| mgolisch | vxroot: usualy you might want to look at the umtsmon program to use the umts modem | 00:25 |
| w_kite_mocy | DoubleDose: i have athlon 1700+ 256 mb ram gf4 mx440 | 00:25 |
| Ben90 | i tried your idea and it won't work. | 00:25 |
| tom__ | simNX: there are 3 dodgy looking ports open | 00:25 |
| scunizi | DoubleDose: yes.. either use the alternate installer or the xubuntu installer | 00:25 |
| simNIX | tom but aon a compriized box ports can be listening but nt show (be hidden) - a nmap from a remote box would show the open ports | 00:25 |
| DoubleDose | okay thanks. | 00:25 |

| sebsebseb | kkll: well for a start open source and free software :) Ubuntu is not propritary | 00:47 |
| J4ck|-|3rr3R | yes like linux | 00:47 |
| mathewedison | Anybody got any experience using linksys WLAN adapters on Ubuntu server? | 00:47 |
| bit_shift | kkll: truth - because it uses a BSD kernel | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | !freedom | 00:47 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 00:47 |
| elexodus | sebsebseb:, yes, ubuntu on a mac g4 circa 2004 | 00:47 |
| kkll | You can compile most linux software on mac | 00:47 |
| elexodus | kkll: I like linux over OSX. | 00:47 |
| kkll | Plus, one buys a Mac for OS X. | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | kkll: normalley yes, but you can dual boot | 00:48 |
| elexodus | pspsampsp: I downloaded from the link you provided. | 00:48 |
| nightrid3r | mathewedison: the ones i tryed only work with ndiswrapper | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | kkll: or use parralles or something to virtual machine Linux | 00:48 |
| kkll | I use Ubuntu on servers but for my home computer I use OS X :) | 00:48 |
| norty | Has there been a fix yet for firefox crashing because of flash? | 00:48 |
| eseven73 | lets kill the os war guys, way offtopic for #Ubuntu | 00:48 |
| mathewedison | I don't know how to get the ndiswrapper from this computer to the server. I'm a complete linux newbie =( | 00:48 |
| eseven73 | !ot | 00:49 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:49 |
| kkll | I wasnt trying to start an argument sorry :) | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | kkll: some people will buy Macs for the hardware more so than the OS though, Mac hardware is meant to be quite a bit better than PC hardware after all. altough as some would say Mac's are just overpriced PC's with slightly differnet hardware | 00:49 |
| elexodus | kkll: also, I find it mildly satifying to overcome Apple's crappy pricing scheme, and their proprietary driver obsession. | 00:49 |
| arkanabar | I just formatted my slave drive, and now I can't find it to mount. What do I need to do? | 00:49 |
| darkvertex | norty: flash and shockwave works fine in firefox. never crashed mine | 00:49 |
| bit_shift | norty: I haven't seen that problem. I just installed the suggested plugins and ran with it... sorry | 00:50 |
| pavi711 | hi can anyone help with hibernation in ubuntu | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | kkll: I have heard quite a few Mac OS X users, going Ubuntu, and then saying Ubuntu is better | 00:50 |
| nightrid3r | mathewedison: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 00:50 |
| kkll | I'd bet there are far many more people who would disagree :) | 00:50 |
| kkll | I hate a lot of things about many Linux distros. | 00:50 |
| Serg | hello | 00:50 |
| Serg | I need someone to help me out a bit please! | 00:50 |
| bit_shift | kkll: agreed | 00:50 |
| kkll | The core issue being the awful UI | 00:50 |
| Serg | :D | 00:50 |
| norty | darkvertex: I am running hardy heron and have the firefox that came with ubuntu whenever i try to watch a video on youtube or any other flash player my firefox crashes... i thought it was a well known bug | 00:51 |
| nycerine | question: what would be a potential cause for slowness when a) opening minimized windows b) maximizing windows and c) restoring windows to a normal state? | 00:51 |
| kkll | Again I'm not trying to start an argument. I use Ubuntu for servers. | 00:51 |
| etg | is there a linux app that lets me resize video easily? | 00:51 |
| elexodus | kkll: I doubt it... | 00:51 |
| Serg | I used to use Ubuntu 8 but I uninstalled beacuse my USB optical mouse kept freezing | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | kkll: each OS has it's advantages and disadvantages, off topic now though | 00:51 |
| eseven73 | take it to #ubuntu-offtopic guys | 00:51 |
| bhuey | I've upgrade to 9.04 but I can't get my X server up and running with the NVidia driver. Anybody have any experiences with that ? | 00:51 |

| Serg | I unplugged the mouse and tried to replug it and the usb was disabled for some reason until I rebooted the entire PC | 00:51 |
| arkanabar | Serg: my optical USB trackball has no issues in 8.10 | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | bhuey: you did it a little early meaning you will still need to ask for help in #ubuntu+1 | 00:51 |
| bit_shift | I installed ubuntu because I'm lazy and didn't want to have to hack a buch of /etc files :) | 00:52 |
| bhuey | sebsebseb: ok, thanks | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | bhuey: by the way you would need to clean install for proper full Ext4 suppourt | 00:52 |
| Serg | Has the team fixed this issue yet? | 00:52 |
| darkvertex | norty: I'm also on Hardy. I watch youtube without a hitch. I used this guide a while back https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave | 00:52 |
| elexodus | kkll: No, I would doubt that most people would prefer OSX to ubuntu. The transition from windows is a lot easier, and the OS isn't cloaked in secrecy like mac's. | 00:52 |
| exodus_ms | I used this command to backup my system sudo tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media/disk / I received this at the end of the backup tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors do I I have a good backup, how can I check? | 00:52 |
| kkll | Well I would highly disagree! | 00:52 |
| Serg | (Note: I don't have any problems when using a PS2 mouse, that works fine.) | 00:52 |
| Serg | I just don't want to buy another mouse just for using Ubuntu. | 00:52 |
| norty | darkvertex: thanks ill try that | 00:52 |
| austin | are there any "widgets" for ubuntu? | 00:53 |
| dayo | arkanabar: what kind of trackball u got? i'm thinking of getting a cordless logitech | 00:53 |
| nycerine | As much as I prefer Ubuntu over OSX, I still believe OSX is easier and would be more perferred by the average person. | 00:53 |
| nycerine | anyway, again, not what I came for. | 00:53 |
| bit_shift | austin: gkrellm is about the closest you'll get for Gnome | 00:53 |
| nycerine | I'm in the wrong channel anyway | 00:53 |
| kkll | Nycerine out of curiosity what do you prefer in Ubuntu over OS X for your home computer? | 00:53 |
| dayo | !ot | nycerine | 00:53 |
| ubottu | nycerine: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:53 |
| eseven73 | wireless logitechs mouse and keyboard work great in Ubuntu | 00:53 |
| arkanabar | dayo: Logitech Trackman corded. | 00:53 |
| nycerine | dayo, I know. | 00:53 |
| arkanabar | dayo: uh, USB also. | 00:54 |
| elexodus | kkll: with me? | 00:54 |
| nycerine | kkll, right now: nothing. | 00:54 |
| kkll | You said you prefer ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| darkvertex | norty: maybe you should upgrade firefox (patch or otherwise) as soon as it becomes abailable too | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | kkll: OS X may be better than Windows here and there, but like Windows it's propritary, it restricts peoples freedoms and locks people in. so open source and free software for the win :) read up about free software properly on http://www.gnu.org in the philosphey section. Ubuntu users you should know about the freedoms behind the software your using, so you should check out those articles as well | 00:54 |
| nycerine | I like linux in general due to many of the concepts and the freedom. However, I spend more time fixing it than using it. | 00:54 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:54 |
| nycerine | I prefer Ubuntu, but not because it's necessarily better than OSX kkll. Anyway, I'm not going to talk anymore offtopic. | 00:55 |
| bit_shift | sebsebseb: truth - nothing beats open source | 00:55 |
| kkll | It does. | 00:55 |
| bit_shift | lol we're buggin the bot | 00:55 |
| kkll | Do you modify the source code of your linux distro? | 00:55 |
| kkll | Or do you just say open source is better because its open? | 00:55 |
| pspsampsp__ | i think all operating systems haver there positives and negatives and it just depends on your needs | 00:55 |
| nycerine | I say it's better because it allows developers to fix what they want. | 00:55 |
| kkll | To say all closed source software is inferior to open source just because its closed is ridiculous | 00:55 |
| eseven73 | stop this guys | 00:55 |
| Pici | This is a support channel, if you want to chat please join #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | this is a interseting discussion let's take it to #ubuntu-offtopic now | 00:55 |

| dust | it tells i got only 2ch available | 00:57 |
| eseven73 | patapouf_, grsync maybe | 00:57 |
| patapouf_ | eseven73: I will look into it | 00:57 |
| eseven73 | it's a GUI for rsync :) | 00:58 |
| eseven73 | also, gnome-schedule is a GUI for cron stuff | 00:58 |
| patapouf_ | eseven73: how does it react if there modification on both side ? | 00:59 |
| Ansible | join #haskell | 00:59 |
| Ansible | argh | 00:59 |
| eseven73 | patapouf_, it syncs data between them and figures out which is older/newer, im not a guru on with rsync so about all I could help with, maybe man rsync for more info :) | 01:01 |

| dcrews | Can someone tell me what the cli command is to change permission for all file and folders with in a directy so that anyone can access/copy/paste/delete......security is not an issue | 01:03 |
| eseven73 | patapouf_, you trying to back stuff up? sbackup is really nice too, once intalled you'll see it in system> administration Simple Backup Config, it has a gui, can schedule backups, has exclusions, and differential stuff too. | 01:03 |
| elexodus | I need a liveCD for a Powermac 400 G4. | 01:04 |
| patapouf_ | eseven73: well, I'm trying to sync data for 3 differents computers. Each one may change over time... | 01:04 |
| eseven73 | patapouf_, yeah rsync or unison then | 01:05 |
| Las1 | I think I have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez-gnome/+bug/285007 but i'm not sure if i've tried everything there is to try.. I added in the hciconfig pscan line in my rc.local | 01:05 |
| exodus_ms | would using the -p option while creating a tar file cause tar to generate an error such as this: tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors | 01:05 |
| patapouf_ | eseven73: yep, I'm using unison at this time.. but the user interface get me confused | 01:05 |
| eseven73 | patapouf_, there's an gui for unison too unison-gtk I believe it is | 01:05 |
| exodus_ms | I used tar to backup my / and need to know if the backup is good | 01:06 |
| eseven73 | yeah I don't care for Unison's interface either | 01:06 |
| patapouf_ | eseven73: yep, I'm using this GUI, but it's not userfriendly at all .. | 01:06 |

| eseven73 | patapouf_, haha true :) | 01:08 |
| macman_ | i noticed ever since jaunty my system is going slow .. is there anyway to revert back to INTEREPID without having to reformat | 01:08 |
| eseven73 | patapouf_, what about bacula? I think I spelled that correctly | 01:08 |
| patapouf_ | eseven73: just the fact that it's use ocaml ! wow what a confusing language compare to c and java | 01:08 |
| eseven73 | macman_, nope | 01:09 |
| eseven73 | gotta reinstall | 01:09 |
| exodus_ms | what about a log file for the tar command I just ran, is there a way I can check it, where might it be | 01:09 |
| patapouf_ | macman_: I suggest you to solve your performance issue (find the root cause). | 01:10 |
| macman_ | eseven73: clean ? | 01:10 |
| eseven73 | clean installs are best, macman | 01:10 |
| macman_ | patapouf_: i do the same thing everytday | 01:10 |
| macman_ | patapouf_: as soon as i upgraded boom i noticed performance | 01:10 |
| eseven73 | make a separate /home for now on | 01:11 |
| macman_ | i think i should do a clean install of januty .. i have the iso | 01:11 |
| eseven73 | Id wait a few weeks till all the buggies are worked out of Jaunty | 01:11 |
| patapouf_ | macman_: I experience some performance issue my self. it's was related to my ATI graphic card. | 01:11 |

| patapouf_ | macman_: I don't see any relation between your performance issue and top that shows nothing .. | 01:14 |
| macman_ | patapouf_: dosen't top show cpu usage ? | 01:14 |
| hobgam | hi | 01:16 |
| patapouf_ | macman_: yep, you right, but I never find it use full to identify the root cause of a performance issue. it's just identify the process that use more cpu | 01:16 |
| patapouf_ | macman_: jist, if you want to continue the discussion about Jaunty, join #ubuntu+1 plz | 01:16 |

| redsnyper | i don't think it worked, GWK | 01:52 |
| Wizzup | far..* | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | KING: on the subject of install you can do the optional Ext4 file system in 9.04, instead of using the default Ext3 | 01:52 |
| _some0ne | ok | 01:52 |

| elexodus | LjL: Thanks for all your help!!! | 01:53 |
| Sheezy | If its the latter, how do I go to ext4? | 01:53 |
| Wizzup | Sheezy, it will not change | 01:53 |
| arkanabar | KING: probably uses the same installer, may have slightly better hardware support, alleged to boot faster. | 01:53 |
| redsnyper | GWKALROD, I don't think it worked. | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | Sheezy: it will keep it as Ext3 if it's an upgrade from 8.10, something can be done to Ext3 for partial Ext4 suppourt | 01:53 |
| gwkalrod | redsnyper, you'll have to find someone who knows more about installing drivers for your wireless card then | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | Sheezy: ,but for proper Ext4 suppourt you would have to clean install | 01:53 |
| Sheezy | Ah | 01:53 |
| redsnyper | ok | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | Sheezy: and set up your partitions yourself by choosing Ext4, because Ext3 is the default | 01:54 |
| redsnyper | Wish it was plug n play like windows...:) | 01:54 |
| Sheezy | Okay | 01:54 |

| Sheezy | Now, for the sound problem | 01:54 |

| gwkalrod | red, it often is, but keep in mind your device was designed to be plug and play with windows | 01:54 |
| magcius | How do I start a Startup Application with sudo? | 01:54 |
| Sheezy | I think it's ALSA, because when I tried testing sound on ALSA it gave me this error: | 01:54 |

| KING | So, what does that eman? | 01:58 |
| KING | *mean | 01:58 |
| pipegeek | All I want is a kernel headers package so I can compile the nvidia drivers. I don't know why it'd be architecture-specific. | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | KING: not much point putting 8.10 on now as I said, since 9.04 is out this Thursday | 01:58 |
| bootui | i also was wondering if frostwire for linux supports ipods | 01:58 |
| gwkalrod | KING: try another iso, to make sure the problem isn't the image file | 01:58 |

| bootui | i'd stick with 8.0.4 over 8.10 or 9.x | 02:01 |
| bootui | 8.0.4 is better supported | 02:01 |
| Envy | what is the command to update 7.10 to 8.10? | 02:01 |
| LjL | !upgrade > Envy (Envy, see the private message from ubottu) | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | bootui: not quite, ,but 8.10 gets security updates for longer yes | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | bootui: also has KDE3 available in the repo :) unlike 8.10 and 9.04 | 02:01 |
| bootui | sebsebseb you mean 8.04 gets security updates for longer | 02:01 |
| gwkalrod | bootui: 9.04 will have support longer though | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | bootui: yes I meant 8.04 | 02:02 |
| KING | Wubi looks like just what I need | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | gwkalrod: no it won't, since 9.04 is not a LTS | 02:02 |
| bootui | 9.04 isn't three years though | 02:02 |
| gwkalrod | oh, really? i need to pay more attention | 02:02 |
| bootui | i'm sticking with 8.0.4 | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | KING: I woudn't normalley recommend wubi | 02:02 |
| KING | Why? | 02:02 |
| gwkalrod | *doesn't use ubuntu for support anyways* | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | KING: ,because it puts Ubuntu inside your Windows file system in a section, and so if your Windows is defragmented or goes wrong, then Ubuntu does as well | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | KING: if Windows is slow, then Ubuntu probably will be as well | 02:03 |
| bootui | i noticed 8.0.4 has kernel updates too.. so there isn't a problem with hardware either. and if something breaks i can just select an older kernel from the grub menu. | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | KING: also a virtual machine is cool, having it inside Windows, being able to use both at same time, but wubi is closer to a real proper install | 02:03 |
| hanasaki | anyone used blueman ? hows it work for you and is there a apt-get package I can get? | 02:03 |
| jeff__ | I can't get my laptop to run on battery power... It just turns off when I unplug it... I know the battery is good, cuz it's brand new... Is there a way to emulate the "ac unplug" event? | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | KING: and I would recommend installing 8.04 or 9.04 not 8.10 | 02:03 |
| KING | Hmm, I think I might try virtual machine, I've done that before with miniXP | 02:04 |
| KING | And if I recall I avoided burning | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | KING: 9.04 is released this Thursday | 02:04 |
| ealing | HI | 02:04 |
| Neaai | sebsebseb: what's wrong with 8.10 ? | 02:04 |
| BlackCoffee | where can i get the default partition manager for ubuntu 8.10? | 02:04 |
| KING | Okay, I'll get all the software ready for a virtual machine and wait til thursday | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | Neaai: it's pretty much pointless now, because it hardly has any differences from 8.04, and 9.04 is released this Thursday | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | Neaai: can't do the Ext4 file system in 8.10 also | 02:05 |
| Neaai | sebsebseb: ah i see | 02:05 |
| arkanabar | BlackCoffee, gparted should be in the system menu. | 02:05 |
| BlackCoffee | ah it's gparted | 02:05 |
| KING | Can anyone give me a link on installing Ubuntu as a virtual machine? | 02:05 |
| BlackCoffee | arkanabar: thanks | 02:05 |
| KING | Also, thanks for helping, you guys | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | KING: nah, but I can tell you what to do | 02:05 |
| KING | Okay | 02:06 |
| hanasaki | why is it that nm-applet only shows up in the first account on the box that logs in and not the others that log in at the same time? | 02:06 |
| mattyb | quick question; i'm trying to copy web pages to /var/www | 02:06 |
| KING | How much HDD space do I need? | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | KING: get Virtualbox first http://www.virtualbox.org | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | KING: not much | 02:06 |
| gwkalrod | is ext4 backwards compatible with all ext3 stuff? | 02:06 |
| KING | Okay, i have like 20 gigs free | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | KING: 1GB or 2GB | 02:06 |
| Sheezy | Hm | 02:06 |
| mattyb | it keeps saying 'cp: cannot create regular file '/var/www/index.html': Permission denied' | 02:06 |
| Sheezy | Its still acting screwy | 02:06 |
| KING | Okay, that's cool | 02:06 |
| mattyb | i have to sudo it; how can i fix this? | 02:06 |
| jeff__ | does anyone know how to manually switch to battery power? | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | gwkalrod: uhmmmm that's now how file systems work | 02:06 |
| dn4 | !experimental | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about experimental | 02:06 |
| Sheezy | Is there a way to paste commands into terminal? | 02:06 |
| dn4 | !tesitng | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tesitng | 02:07 |
| gwkalrod | sheezy right-click paste | 02:07 |
| LjL | !fishing | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | gwkalrod: you can move stuff from an Ext3 to an Ext4 sure etc, find out more in #ubuntu+1 | 02:07 |
| BlackCoffee | i seem to have a problem with gparted,i can open it (sudo gparted) but i can't resize the partitions,the option is like grayed out | 02:07 |
| KING | Oh shit, virtualbox says it's gonna take a while | 02:07 |
| KING | What do I do after it downloads? | 02:07 |
| bootui | does anybody know if frostwire supports ipods on linux? | 02:07 |
| gwkalrod | seb: eariler you said something about making ext3 compatible with ext4, which didn't make sense to me, which is why i asked, but ty | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | KING: install it | 02:07 |
| Neaai | BlackCoffee: because they are in use most probably | 02:07 |
| dying_hdd | hey guys, i'm trying to mount a corrupt external hard drive, but it tells me 'does not contain a valid partition table'. what can i do? | 02:08 |
| KING | Okay, is it free? | 02:08 |
| bacon1989 | sheezy: use shift+insert | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | gwkalrod: something can be done to Ext3, for partial Ext4 suppourt, but it's best to clean install for Ext4 | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | KING: yep | 02:08 |
| KING | Sweet, what do I do after I've installed it? | 02:08 |
| BlackCoffee | mmm | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | KING: it's a nice easy to use graphical program | 02:08 |
| KING | Okay | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | KING: rather straight forward | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | KING: oh that's a point how much RAM you got? | 02:09 |
| KING | 768 shared graphics | 02:09 |
| KING | I'm on a laptop | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | KING: 768MB RAM? | 02:09 |
| jeff__ | are there any acpi experts in the house? | 02:09 |
| KING | Yeah | 02:09 |
| KING | a 512 and a 256 | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | KING: yeah should be able to virtual machine with that, maybe be a bit slow though | 02:09 |
| KING | My graphics absolutely sucks so I don't plan on running anything RAM heavy | 02:10 |
| arkanabar | I've reformatted my slave disk, and now I can't find it to mount it. What do I do? | 02:10 |
| kolby | I want to work on a bug. | 02:10 |
| Sheezy | It there an equivelent to ctrl-f for terminal? | 02:10 |
| sebsebseb | KING: installer is rather straight forward, but when making the virtual hard disk, make sure it's dynamically expanding and put like 20GB as the size. the size is just what the VM thinks it has. so you could even put like 2TB which is an option in virtualbox, even though you won't have a 2TB hard disk | 02:10 |
| Sheezy | I'm trying to find something in a list on it | 02:10 |
| KING | Okay | 02:11 |
| KING | Gah, it still says 1 hour left | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | KING: in a way 8.04 would be pretty sweet to vm, because then you could install KDE3 from repo :) | 02:11 |
| KING | Slow download | 02:11 |
| KING | What's KDE? | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | !kde | 02:11 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 02:11 |
| Sheezy | Uh | 02:11 |
| Neaai | arkanabar: sudo fdisk -l | 02:11 |
| Neaai | arkanabar: see what you get | 02:12 |
| Sheezy | Little help here | 02:12 |
| KING | Okay, how does that affect me, lol? | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | KING: never done Linux before? | 02:12 |
| KING | No | 02:12 |
| Sheezy | Can someone please tell me? | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | KING: ok well then I am not even going to bother explaining about KDE now | 02:12 |
| Sheezy | Please? | 02:13 |
| BlackCoffee | so,how do i use gparted,do i have to boot the live cd in order to change/create/resize partitions? | 02:13 |
| KING | Is it easier to install Linux while running Linux? | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | KING: altough I will say, basically KDE is a differnet graphical user interface, from what you get in Ubuntu | 02:13 |
| gabimich | Sheezy, what? | 02:13 |
| lexvegas | Sheezy: pipe it into grep | 02:13 |
| Neaai | BlackCoffee: yes | 02:13 |
| KING | Okay | 02:13 |
| histo | BlackCoffee: you just have to have the partitions unmounted. | 02:13 |
| anon1232 | Sheezy: Is grep what you're looking for? | 02:13 |
| Sheezy | How do I find a certain string in terminal | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | KING: Linux is about choice, there are loads of apps, for the same task | 02:13 |
| Sheezy | I'm trying to find something in a list | 02:13 |
| BlackCoffee | Neaai;aha | 02:13 |
| histo | Sheezy: string in what? | 02:13 |
| BlackCoffee | i c | 02:13 |
| Neaai | Sheezy: string where? in a file ? | 02:13 |
| BlackCoffee | sounds kinda risky | 02:13 |
| KING | Can Linux blue screen? | 02:13 |
| Sheezy | In a list on terminal | 02:13 |
| lexvegas | Sheezy: IE: lspci | grep XXXXX | 02:14 |
| Sheezy | Like ctrl f in windows | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | KING: nope | 02:14 |
| histo | BlackCoffee: so if you are resizing / you need to boot something else in the mena time | 02:14 |
| gwkalrod | linux can crash, but it's crash screen isn't blue =D | 02:14 |
| jon23d | when changing the background of menu bars to a color or a png, the icons of running programs then go transparent too and are unable to read until I activate the window or hover over them, is there a way to prevent this behaviour? I'm using compiz fusion & emerald | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: yeah you need to be on a Live CD such as the UBuntu CD that has Gparted, to resize partitions | 02:14 |
| Ben90 | gwkalrod | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | BlackCoffee: or figure out how to use commands to do partitions intead :d | 02:14 |
| Ben90 | mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist | 02:14 |
| raulh | hey everyone i'm having problems with musicbox not (ripping) the music from the CD anyone have some tips or help | 02:14 |
| Neaai | BlackCoffee: not really. gpartted will work the same and that's what you want, not to work on mounted partitions | 02:14 |
| BlackCoffee | sebsebseb: that ain't gonna happen hehe,i'm a lazy reader | 02:15 |
| histo | BlackCoffee: which partition are you trying to resize? | 02:15 |
| BlackCoffee | the main one | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | KING: Linux distros basically never crash, unless the hardware is failing, which is one reason why most of the Internet is hosted on computers running Linux | 02:15 |
| Ben90 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d11bafb9 | 02:15 |
| gwkalrod | ben90: paste into irc the command you send and get that error | 02:15 |
| BlackCoffee | i have to free space and create a partition for windows cp sp3 | 02:15 |
| KING | Okay | 02:15 |
| histo | BlackCoffee: yeah just boot to the install cd and resize. | 02:15 |
| BlackCoffee | ok,thanks guys,will do it now | 02:15 |
| KING | Do I have to give the Virtual Machine some of my RAM, or will it automatically share it? | 02:16 |
| anon1232 | sheezy ctrl-f probably won't work, but if the command that generated the list is <cmd> and you want to find a linde of text including <key> then <cmd> | grep <key> might help you | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | KING: just use the default for the virtual memory | 02:16 |
| KING | Okay | 02:16 |
| Ben90 | gwkalrod | 02:16 |
| Ben90 | go to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d11bafb9 | 02:16 |
| Sheezy | It wont let me enter commands, its a list produced by "lspci -v | less" | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | KING: and I already mentioned the thing that you should know about | 02:16 |
| KING | That 20gb thing? | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | KING: regarding the virtual hard disk yeah | 02:17 |
| anon1232 | sheezy replace <less> with <grep thingyou'relookingfor> | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | KING: yeah that and dynamically expanding which it should be by default | 02:17 |
| Neaai | Sheezy: lspci -v | grep yourwordhere | 02:17 |
| lexvegas | Sheezy: instead of piping it into less, pipe it into grep | 02:17 |
| KING | Should I run 8.04 on my VM or wait til 9.04? | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | KING: try 8.10 in a vm, and do 8.04 as well, and install KDE3 into that vm :) | 02:18 |
| Sheezy | Didnt work | 02:18 |
| lexvegas | lspci -v | grep XXXX | 02:18 |
| KING | Okay | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | KING: then you can put 9.04 on for real | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | KING: once it's been released | 02:18 |
| lexvegas | Sheezy: where xxxx is what you are looking for | 02:18 |
| anon1232 | sheezay You could also try typing"/thingyou'relookingfor" in less | 02:18 |
| KING | Will it be easier to install Ubuntu if I'm doing it off my Ubuntu VM? | 02:18 |
| Sheezy | Well, lspci -v | less returns all things it recognizes is connected to the motherboard | 02:19 |
| KING | Like, with software and all | 02:19 |
| Sheezy | and i'm trying to find the sound device | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | KING: to install Ubuntu onto the computer for real, you need a working Live CD really, but there are other ways it can be installed as well | 02:19 |
| === poseidon is now known as cs_student | ||
| KING | Maybe I'll just end up ordering one, or asking around for a friend's one | 02:19 |
| lexvegas | Sheezy: lspci -v | grep sound | 02:19 |
| lexvegas | Sheezy: that might work | 02:19 |
| gwkalrod | ben90: your trying to mount sdc1, correct? what command did you use | 02:19 |
| Sheezy | Lex | 02:20 |
| Sheezy | I tried it | 02:20 |
| Sheezy | nothing | 02:20 |
| Ben90 | 1 sec. | 02:20 |
| Sheezy | bash: lspci -v : command not found | 02:20 |
| Sheezy | bash: grep: command not found | 02:20 |
| Sheezy | is what it gave | 02:20 |
| Neaai | Sheezy: lspci -v | grep -A 5 Audio | 02:20 |

| brutus | Neaai, thanks | 02:29 |
| Sheezy | I think its a problem with ALSA i'm having since when my sound quits and I have it test sound on ALSA it gives me an error | 02:29 |
| Neaai | Sheezy: by those commands, so far i'd say you don't have a sound card at all. lshw normally does a listing of the hardware | 02:30 |
| Sheezy | I do have a sound card, its just evidently it isnt recognizing the soundcard | 02:30 |
| anon1232 | Usually the error would indicate that it isn't quite working right. | 02:30 |
| dying_hdd | can i write files through terminal to a samba share? | 02:31 |
| gwkalrod | ben90: i'm stumped | 02:31 |
| brutus | anyone familiar with Xlib programming here? | 02:31 |
| gwkalrod | sheezy: what sound card? | 02:31 |
| mathewedison | Anybody who can help me with rt74 drivers and ndiswapper to get my linksys wlan aparter working on ubuntu server? | 02:32 |
| Sheezy | I forget the name, It's either integrated with my motherboard or its using my graphics card as it | 02:32 |
| Sheezy | I know the drivers are c-media something | 02:32 |
| histo | Sheezy: lspci will hsow you | 02:32 |
| Ben90 | well i also tried putting it in /etc/fstab | 02:32 |
| Sheezy | That's the problem guys, it isnt recognizing it's there | 02:32 |
| gwkalrod | sheezy: did you get linux drivers for it? | 02:32 |
| histo | Sheezy: crystal media probably ac97 chipset but it should b eshowing in lspci | 02:33 |
| Neaai | brutus: for such programming it's useful to be in #linux and #debian and #xorg and what else you think related to Xlib | 02:33 |

| ubottu | Ben90: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:33 |
| Sheezy | ALSA seems to be working | 02:33 |
| mathewedison | eya guys, who can help me with rt74 drivers and ndiswapper to get my linksys wlan aparter working on ubuntu server? | 02:34 |

| mathewedison | correction rt73 drivers* | 02:34 |
| mankash | how to install jar file? | 02:34 |
| histo | dying_hdd: there is smbclient which is like an ftp type app fro smb shares | 02:34 |
| Sheezy | Well | 02:35 |
| Sheezy | I'm going to see how things go | 02:35 |
| Sheezy | If my sound randomly quits again, I'll say | 02:35 |
| Sheezy | I may of resolved it, i duno | 02:35 |
| Neaai | Sheezy: does it happen when you do any playback or say, flash playback? or youtube ? | 02:36 |
| histo | Sheezy: areyou running jaunty? | 02:36 |
| Sheezy | I'm running intreped | 02:37 |
| mathewedison | Is there nobody who knows how to use rt73 drivers to get a wlan linksys adpater working on ubuntu server? :( | 02:37 |
| Sheezy | And it happens after some time | 02:37 |
| Sheezy | Anyway, I need to reboot pidgin | 02:37 |
| Sheezy | er | 02:37 |
| Sheezy | restart | 02:37 |
| mathewedison | Ok I'm off, I hope I get better luck tomorrow =( | 02:38 |
| mrMister83 | Can someone help me with setting my resolution? xrandr gives me errors and my system doesn't use the settings found in my xorg.conf, which is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/153750/ | 02:38 |
| Sheezy | Hmm | 02:38 |
| mythman | Just installed gnome-dockbar from a deb file how do I run it | 02:39 |
| Neaai | mrMister83: some rumours say that ubuntu has a different way for x and resolution than what is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Or extends/overrides it, not sure | 02:40 |
| histo | deepinside: you can also mount samba shares | 02:40 |
| histo | Sheezy: are you running jaunty? | 02:40 |
| Sheezy | No | 02:41 |
| Sheezy | oh for christs sake | 02:41 |
| Sheezy | I think I found the root of the problem | 02:41 |
| histo | mythman: try hitting alt + F2 and typing in gnome-dockbar or you can hunt around in the applications menus | 02:41 |
| Sheezy | Kino may be the root of the problem | 02:42 |
| Sheezy | it just crashed while playing a sound file and now its stuck looping it | 02:42 |
| gwkalrod | what are the odds I could get an x-fi working under ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| Sheezy | so I guess when the sound quit | 02:43 |
| Sheezy | it was actually it just looping silence | 02:43 |
| dying_hdd | anyone here used ddrescue? | 02:43 |
| Neaai | Sheezy: something similar happens to me with flash media. I know it's a plugin thing for flash video | 02:43 |
| Neaai | gwkalrod: what x-fi ? | 02:44 |
| Neaai | what is* | 02:44 |

| c4pt | is ubuntu i386 36bit by default or do i have to add PAE options to the kernel somehow? | 02:44 |
| Sheezy | brb | 02:44 |
| ml | hi | 02:44 |
| lstarnes | c4pt: it's 32-bit | 02:44 |
| dying_hdd | gwkalrod: not bad odds | 02:45 |
| c4pt | lstarnes, so how do i added PAE to the kernel? | 02:45 |
| dying_hdd | but your mileage may vary | 02:45 |
| gwkalrod | dying_hdd, cool, i'll try then | 02:45 |
| dying_hdd | i'd recommend the alsa way | 02:45 |
| Neaai | and what is fatality? lol | 02:45 |
| lstarnes | c4pt: I'm not sure | 02:45 |
| dying_hdd | though it will probably require you to .. recompile the kernel | 02:45 |
| dying_hdd | unless things have changed | 02:45 |

| dying_hdd | anyone here used dd_rescue? | 02:46 |
| histo | c4pt: pae is not built in you'd have to recompile I believe. Server kernel has pae I believe. | 02:47 |

| ratius | has anyone ever tried ssh tunnelling MySQL with 1and1 webhost? I know that ssh tunnelling is possible when the MySQL server is on the remote machine but how can u make another forward when the MySQL server is accessible only in the remote's host network (through private DNS) | 02:47 |
| c4pt | histo, oh ok | 02:47 |
| Sheezy | Well | 02:48 |
| Sheezy | Thanks for the help guys | 02:48 |
| dying_hdd | has anyone here tried to rescue data from a corrupt hdd thru Ubuntu? | 02:48 |
| Sheezy | I figured out what it was, though | 02:48 |
| Sheezy | just kino being screwy | 02:48 |
| Schiz0|SD | Hm, I tried using noacpi but the install is still freezing up. It's saying things like "Buffer I/O error on sr0" and "Buffer I/O error on sda1" | 02:49 |
| Schiz0|SD | i know sda is the HDD, but what's sr? | 02:49 |
| Neaai | dying_hdd: i have but quite a while ago | 02:49 |
| Sheezy | So is there any way to cancel all sounds that are going? | 02:49 |
| Sheezy | in case this happens again? | 02:49 |
| Neaai | dying_hdd: tried dd_rescue and got what i could with it, tried other stuff too and got what I could with those too | 02:50 |
| dying_hdd | Neaai: i'm currently copying the disc image of the corrupt HDD to a spare HDD but this seems to be taking forever. will something bad happen if i just reboot now (without stopping it..) | 02:50 |
| dying_hdd | i'm using dd_rescue right now as well | 02:50 |
| Neaai | dying_hdd: you have that hd mounted ? | 02:50 |
| dying_hdd | no | 02:50 |
| dying_hdd | it doesn't mount | 02:51 |
| Neaai | dying_hdd: try killing the process | 02:51 |
| dying_hdd | i'm using dd_rescue to create a disc image | 02:51 |
| dying_hdd | ok | 02:51 |

| Saladin | Okay, I have a problem in that my wlan card does not seem to be working in 8.10: No wireless networks show from the network manager options and when I manually input the network information via "Connect to Hidden wireless network" nothing happens either. Any ideas for assistance? | 02:52 |
| Schiz0|SD | smil3y: It's the official CD that Ubuntu sent me for free | 02:53 |
| Neaai | dying_hdd: there's this cd which boots off and has a lot of utils in it. many hd related software. it's called hiren bootcd | 02:53 |
| Schiz0|SD | I didn't burn it | 02:53 |
| Schiz0|SD | I'll try downloading the alt CD and burning it myself | 02:53 |
| Neaai | dying_hdd: search the web for it and get the iso. it might help you a lot | 02:53 |

| mkasson | how can I change from the ver of open office that comes with Ubuntu to the new (3.0?) version? | 03:29 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: a ppa, but 9.04 is out this Thursday, and that has 3.0 by default | 03:29 |
| zed | ive seen some tutorials if you use google | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: of course for full suppourt for the optional Ext4 file system you need to clean install. Ext3 is default | 03:30 |
| mkasson | sebsebseb, normal release of 9.04? or RC/beta/etc? | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: yes the final release of 9.04 | 03:30 |
| mkasson | wow cool | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: ,but the thing I just said regarding Ext4 | 03:30 |
| mkasson | hmmm, I don't think I mind scraping the whole sys | 03:31 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: yeah and then you got to set up your partitions manualley and do Ext4 | 03:31 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: since guided would just put on Ext3's | 03:31 |
| mkasson | though I am reminded of a program/script I had suggested maybe a year or so ago on launchpad... | 03:31 |
| mkasson | it was a prog to help people save all the (relevant) files in /etc, /etc/samba, etc, then allow install, then put all the files back | 03:33 |
| mkasson | very much inspired by something I had seen in Damn Small Linux | 03:33 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: oh right, well it's not exaclty hard to install stuff again | 03:33 |
| alek66 | byeee | 03:33 |
| mkasson | not hard to do but you have to remember to grab everything | 03:33 |
| mkasson | cronjobs, etc | 03:33 |
| mkasson | user/group numbers | 03:34 |
| mkasson | I find it to be a lot of work sometimes | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: dpkg -l to see what you got installed | 03:34 |
| khange | hi | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | khange: hi | 03:34 |
| khange | how areyou | 03:34 |
| igorsh | mkasson: you can easy backup all settings with rsync | 03:34 |
| mkasson | its not the progs. thats only a little. its all the little text files/scripts around | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | mkasson: just copy it over? | 03:35 |

| igorsh | SgtNezzie: dpkg -i name_of_packet - it will be so | 03:51 |
| prikolchik | how do i set ACLOCAL_FLAGS when running a autogen.sh file? | 03:51 |
| SgtNezzie | so this is my frist time using ubuntu, am i correct in understanding no root? | 03:52 |
| h8red | I just installed advanced bash scripting guide, how do i view it? | 03:52 |
| bad_cables | there's only 25k in /tmp... where else would firefox/flash10 store a huge audio file? | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | !noroot | SgtNezzie | 03:52 |
| ubottu | SgtNezzie: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 03:52 |
| tritium | prikolchik: please don't repeat every minute. | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | !root | SgtNezzie | 03:52 |
| ubottu | SgtNezzie: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:52 |
| lstarnes | SgtNezzie: there is a root but is is locked. You can use sudo to run programs as root | 03:52 |
| SgtNezzie | okay, can any user sudo? | 03:53 |
| prikolchik | tritium: as im understanding this should be a simple question? | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | SgtNezzie: no only those in the admin/root group | 03:53 |
| lstarnes | SgtNezzie: only users in the admin group by default | 03:53 |
| tritium | SgtNezzie: no, only those in the admin group, which includes the first user account created. | 03:53 |
| bad_cables | where does firefox store its temp files? | 03:53 |
| SgtNezzie | okay cool thanks | 03:53 |
| igorsh | SgtNezzie: you can write in /etc/sudoers a permissions for using sudo for any user and any single program | 03:54 |
| victorhugo_ | i'm with a problem with VNC. when i connect to the server, it shows a window, but empty. i can't do a thing with... how can a do gnome-session work? | 03:54 |
| n8tuser | bad_cables -> ever looked in ~/.mozilla/ | 03:54 |
| tritium | igorsh: no, the proper method is to add users to the admin group. /etc/sudoers is never edited manually. | 03:55 |
| tritium | Even if you want to edit /etc/sudoers, you use visudo. | 03:55 |
| igorsh | tritium: you are wrong. editing /etc/sudoers is a right way and adding user in admin group is just a following preinstalled settings | 03:56 |
| jdsandeson | anyone know how to get linux to mount a flash drive on boot | 03:56 |
| tritium | igorsh: no, that is incorrect. | 03:56 |
| prikolchik | jdsandeson: just insert it and it should automount? | 03:57 |
| jdsandeson | yes it dose once the machien is up | 03:57 |
| jdsandeson | i need it to be pluged in all the time | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | igorsh -> what tritium meant is use the correct tool like visudo to edit it not directly with vim | 03:57 |
| asdf_n00b | hey. can anyone help me setting up my intel easy pc webcam? | 03:58 |
| tritium | n8tuser: no, I also meant that the proper way to add sudo priveleges in ubuntu is to add them to the amdin group. | 03:58 |
| igorsh | n8tuser: i think that he mean not to edit that file at all | 03:58 |
| prikolchik | jdsandeson: er... u mean it doesnt mount if u plugin a flash drive when computer off and then turn on pc and it doesnt mount? | 03:58 |
| jdsandeson | yes | 03:58 |
| tritium | igorsh: yes, there is no need to edit that file for granting sudo priveleges. | 03:58 |
| n8tuser | tritium -> but not all sduo commands require admin priviledges, so it doesnt mean everyone has to be a member of admin to use sudo | 03:59 |
| bad_cables | no, nothing in /.mozilla | 03:59 |
| jdsandeson | it is there but un mounted | 03:59 |
| igorsh | tritium: if I add user to admin group, he can run every command with root privileges | 03:59 |
| tritium | igorsh: incorrect | 03:59 |
| jdsandeson | this machien is going to be an embeded device | 03:59 |
| tritium | !sudo | igorsh -- Please read this: | 03:59 |
| ubottu | igorsh -- Please read this:: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 03:59 |
| igorsh | and with manual edit I can grant privileges only to run some programs | 03:59 |
| n8tuser | igorsh -> i dont know what you meant by manual editing, but you use a tool like visudo not vim directly | 04:00 |
| prikolchik | jdsandeson: try googling for "mount flash drive boot". I personally do not know | 04:00 |
| jdsandeson | yup provably a library trip | 04:00 |
| bad_cables | where would a flash10 page save a temp audio file in your system??? | 04:01 |
| igorsh | эх, тяжело объяснять убунтятникам нафига вручную конфиги править. | 04:01 |
| igorsh | sorry for russian, i shall not say in it more | 04:02 |
| n8tuser | bad_cables -> most likely /tmp | 04:02 |
| bad_cables | i can get the firefox app to use a CPU down to 38% but then when i play it back it spikes past system capacity | 04:02 |
| bad_cables | n8tuser: there's nothing that big in there | 04:02 |
| bad_cables | n8tuser: 25k | 04:02 |

| tofu_logic | whats up dude? | 04:11 |
| hemanth | tofu_logic: sky | 04:11 |
| DasEi | victorhugo_: two ubuntu machines ? | 04:12 |
| victorhugo_ | yes | 04:12 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi, yes | 04:12 |
| DasEi | victorhugo_: you set up the server on the on the one, know the portnumber and the password ? | 04:13 |
| tofu_logic | Has any one else had trouble getting the ipod touch 2g to work with rhythm box? Ubuntu keeps seeing it as a camera | 04:13 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: Yes... The connection can be stabilished. But the window the appears does not show anything. | 04:14 |
| DasEi | victorhugo_: you can ping the other's host, no firewall is installed ? | 04:14 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: let me try... | 04:15 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: Yes, no firewall... | 04:16 |

| DasEi | victorhugo_: are the two pc's in the same network segment ? | 04:17 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: No, they aren't. | 04:17 |
| DasEi | victorhugo_: so that might be your problem | 04:18 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: The problem is that i cannot see anything in the window that open in my computer. I guess it's happening because i have made changes in the config file to show the gnome-sessio. not only the terminal... | 04:20 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: but i don't know how to fix it. =/ | 04:20 |
| DasEi | victorhugo_: what are the ip's of the two pc's to connect | 04:20 |

| daftykins | especially as i come from there and it may serve a purpose to setup a LUG | 04:22 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: what happened: i was using the terminal in vnc, when i typed "exit" and everything was closed... =/ | 04:22 |
| daftykins | have i spoken to you about it before sebsebseb ? rings a bell | 04:22 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: what happened: i was using the **console in vnc, when i typed "exit" and everything was closed... =/ | 04:22 |

| Artelus | Hey | 04:23 |
| Artelus | how do you mount something from the filesystem? | 04:23 |
| Artelus | -Using the command line? | 04:23 |

| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 04:23 |

| Artelus | Well...I'm using Fluxbox, but in order to access my windows partition I have to log off and log into Gnome, and I don't want to do that | 04:24 |
| Artelus | Is there a way to mount a USB device with a command? | 04:24 |
| magichere | How to configure that use cairo to render a transparent window (I have support xgl ),i can use it in Gnome, but in xterm ,my window isn`t a transparent . gtk.window.cairo_create() need Aiglx or Compiz ? | 04:24 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: i guess that they are, because i can do a ssh connection - which not shows a X window in my computer too. | 04:24 |
| DasEi | Artelus: yes, but you need ntfs support installed on that machine (if it isn't fat or else) | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | daftykins: yeah maybe we talked about it in #ubuntu-uk | 04:25 |
| Artelus | My windows partition is NFTS | 04:25 |
| Artelus | I can mount automacally, using GNOME, but Fluxbox doesn't do it | 04:26 |
| usser | Artelus, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/[windows partition] /mountpoint | 04:26 |

| alesan | usser, any way I can use Sun's? or they do not have a 64bit plugin? | 04:28 |
| usser | Artelus, cameras are tricky some of them are not mass storage device and you cant mount them | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | Artelus: just open the partition from /mnt or /media ??? | 04:29 |
| RishiRamraj | Hi All. I'm currently having some hardware trouble with some apple bluetooth devices on startup. Doesn't seem to be documented online. | 04:29 |
| Artelus | My camera mounts by itself on Gnome | 04:29 |
| RishiRamraj | In previous versions of ubuntu, clicking on my mouse would connect it automatically on startup, and same with the keyboard. | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | Artelus: or computer | 04:29 |
| usser | alesan, sun doesnt have 64 bit plugin thats correct | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | Artelus: uh yeah camera not partitions | 04:29 |
| Artelus | There's nothing in /media, just cd drives | 04:29 |
| DasEi | victorhugo_: ? so they can see each other, you start the server on one side from terminal, then what comes up ? | 04:29 |
| Artelus | -.- forget it then...i'll log into gnome to retreive my files | 04:29 |
| RishiRamraj | I'm currently running 9.04 and it seems that if I click on the mouse, it won't work. If I then click on the keyboard it will work and vice versa. | 04:30 |
| usser | Artelus, use something like digikam or fspot on gnome to get access to a camera | 04:30 |
| minazo | I just moved to a new ISP (we're on ASDL). The Windows machines run fine on the home network but my xubuntu machine "locks up" (keyboard will not do anything/mouse no good) *only* after I leave the machine idle for around 15- 30 minutes. Is this more of a network issue? Is there anything that Xbuntu might not "like" about an ASDL connection? This is a weird problem. I just don't uderstand why something like that would happen. | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | RishiRamraj: well you got 9.04 early, so #ubuntu+1 for help | 04:30 |
| RishiRamraj | sebsebseb: will do :) | 04:30 |

| chaqui | well i know 8.10 will fix it, but the pulse audio fixes for 9.04 are awesome id rather roll the kernal back to one that worked, i can't believe ati dropped support on a chipset that was sold to me within two years. i guess ati can't control that but its still not cool. | 04:46 |
| jon5000 | Hello. I am using 8.04 with a laptop that has an AMD RADEON X300 video card. Certain video was not working properly (Google Earth and similar for example), so I did some research and found that there is a proprietary driver released March 2009. I intend to install this, but am confused by the instructions. They say "The following packages must be installed in order for the CatalystTM Linux driver to install and work proper | 04:47 |
| jon5000 | ly: XFree86-Mesa-libGL, libstdc++, libgcc, XFree86-libs, fontconfig, freetype, zlib, gcc. Where do i get these things and how do Install them? I am new at this. | 04:47 |
| ephak | sorry , i was just here, and still need help on why my other internal hard drive doesnt show up anymore under media folder | 04:47 |
| minazo | chaqui: i agree. | 04:47 |
| wololo0 | hallo | 04:48 |
| n8tuser | ratius -> you may have missed the part about agents, re-read the tutorials please | 04:48 |
| ephak | i just now installed xubuntu and i have all my music, movies, etc on this other hard drive and then the system had to reboot and now it is not showing up | 04:48 |
| deb-eater-88 | chaqui: Unfotuneatly the economy may have had some effect on the life span of the chipset you m ention | 04:48 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: did you try installing it automatically? i.e. let ubuntu install? | 04:48 |
| Voort | histo, no go. same error | 04:48 |
| histo | Voort: something else is going on then. What is the exact error you get. | 04:48 |
| h8red | Can someone tell me what I'd need to type in terminal to change my refresh rate and resolution using the Nvidia X Server settings? | 04:48 |
| usser | chaqui, does radeonhd work for you? | 04:48 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: u there? | 04:48 |
| histo | Voort: and can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:48 |
| histo | !pastebinit | Voort | 04:49 |

| ratius | n8tuser, I did read the part about the agents and added the key with ssh-add and after that it did'nt ask for passphrase but still asked for password. | 04:49 |
| planegenius | how to i go back to a previous version of ubbuntu? | 04:49 |
| jon5000 | prkolchik: Ubuntu did install an ATI driver, but it was with that driver that I was having problems. So I researched. The prop driver is pretty recent so I am thinking maybe I need it? | 04:49 |
| histo | ephak: what type of partition is on the drive? | 04:49 |
| histo | !downgrade > planegenius | 04:49 |
| ubottu | planegenius, please see my private message | 04:49 |

| deostroll | Help! os not taking entire monitor display area | 04:50 |
| ephak | histo: there is 40gb drive which the xubuntu install partitioned out which has windows xp also on it. and the other drive is just a 200gb by itself with no os or anything i just had files | 04:50 |

| ratius | n8tuser, I'll try again I guess, do I need to type something to remove the key from the ssh agent? I'll start over again | 04:50 |
| histo | ephak: k try running sudo fdisk -l at a terminal and see if it shows the 200gb drive | 04:50 |
| jon5000 | prkolchik: Is what compatible, the card or the new driver? If the new driver, it says I must have Linux Kernal 2.6 or higher | 04:51 |

| sebsebseb | planegenius: 9.04 is stable this Thursday | 04:52 |
| ephak | thank you so much | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: maybe you should go back to 8.04 instead | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: longer suppourt after all | 04:52 |
| histo | Voort: can you try at a terminal dig security.ubuntu.com | 04:52 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: Oh, ill give a look at it... | 04:52 |
| ratius | n8tuser, yeah I'll try again thx | 04:52 |
| planegenius | thatd be great how do i do that? | 04:52 |

| histo | Voort: does it resolve the ip? | 04:52 |
| victorhugo_ | DasEi: Which program do you use? | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: download the ISO | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: md5sum it, burn it to CD, and install | 04:53 |
| planegenius | i still have it, will i be able to keep all my settings | 04:53 |

| Voort | histo, "connection timed out, no servers could be reached" | 04:54 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: did u actually try installing it? i think u should have all those dependancies u listed earlier | 04:54 |
| planegenius | idk, files, configurations or hardware... will it clear my disk? | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: probably can get sound working in 9.04 some how by the way | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: you can keep some stuff, but may as well start over | 04:54 |
| jon5000 | ok. No I didnt try installing it, figured I would check here as to whether there is reason to believe I already have those things. That helps a lot | 04:55 |
| histo | Voort: okay definately a dns problem. Did you save the /etc/resolv.conf after you added the new dns servers in there? | 04:55 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: but if you dont, go to "System" -> Administation -> Synaptics package manager and there you search for whatever is needed | 04:55 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: if you dont have them, it just wont work =P | 04:55 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: i mean install | 04:55 |
| Voort | histo, and restarted the NIC to apply the settings | 04:55 |
| sammy | when I add a location to the panel clock and click set, that changes the timezone for the entire system? | 04:55 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: just make sure you backup ur xorg config file | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: really ISO's should be md5summed before burning | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 04:55 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 04:55 |
| planegenius | i mean, sound is very bad at this point, stutters like crazy, and i have no idea why, it started with flash, but now it does it constantly... no help n forums... | 04:55 |
| kindofabuzz | i just set up sshfs so i can edit my servers html files from gedit locally. is it possible to setup sshfs to use "sudo". i know a simple route would be change the .html to user permissions but i'd ather not do that | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: well don't expect much help for 9.04 just yet | 04:56 |
| histo | Voort: I would try sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: the final release is only this Thursday | 04:56 |
| gbeebe | Quick question: I just formated a partition as ext3. It is listed as 61.0 GB Media under Places | 04:56 |
| planegenius | ok.... i see | 04:56 |
| histo | Voort: then create a new one with just nameserver 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 in it and nothing else. | 04:56 |
| jon5000 | ok. So I think what youre saying is I should check on synaptics for all those libraries and such, and get them there if any are missing, then install the proprietary driver i got from AMD/ATI website? | 04:56 |
| gbeebe | I can't change the Volume name. | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: and if your going to downgrade, then yeah for various reasons I think 8.04 rather than 8.10 | 04:57 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: ok, backup xorg.conf file, then try installing it. If it fails because it needs some pakages go to synapics and get them and try again | 04:57 |
| planegenius | really 8.10 was working just fine... | 04:57 |
| === edgex-[ded] is now known as edgex- | ||
| gbeebe | And if I sudo nautilus and click on the computer button, i get: | 04:58 |
| gbeebe | Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations. | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: sure, but security updates run out for 8.10 much before 8.04. and no KDE3 in the repo for 8.10 or 9.04 | 04:58 |
| igor47 | i tried using usb-creator to make a flash installer for 9.04, but it jost dropped me into busybox | 04:58 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: backing up xorg.conf file is a very good thing in ur case. It will help u recover in case driver will not work with ur system | 04:58 |
| igor47 | neter 'live nor 'live-install' work | 04:58 |
| planegenius | oh... | 04:58 |
| sammy | planegenius: that's a known pulseaudio problem, the jittery sound. ask in #ubuntu+1, and give me a minute and I'll try to remember a quick change you can make in an /etc/pulse file that might fix it | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: and there isn't that much difference between 8.04 and 8.10 | 04:58 |
| histo | gbeebe: sudo e2label <device> <label> | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: did you do 9.04 with Ext4? | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: if not well 9.04 is rather pointless | 04:59 |
| histo | sebsebseb: jaunty talk in #ubuntu+1 | 04:59 |
| jon5000 | Prikolchik: Ok I backed up xorg.conf.f.gz. Is that what you mean? | 04:59 |
| prikolchik | jon5000: no, gimme 1 sec | 05:00 |
| gbeebe | I can change the label GParted, but while it's still listed as 61.0 GB Media | 05:00 |
| histo | planegenius: sebsebseb you can convert afterwords without issue to ext4 anyways. | 05:00 |
| gbeebe | * with GParted | 05:00 |
| histo | gbeebe: did you try restarting nautilus | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | histo: can convert, but you won't get full suppourt | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | histo: so best to start over for Ext4 | 05:01 |
| jon5000 | Prikolchik: Actually what i backed up was xorg.conf.5.gz. | 05:01 |
| histo | sebsebseb: not ont he old files but eventually you will. | 05:01 |

| H_M-Ubuntu | And don't tell me to use synaptic, please :) | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: you won't have, unless you told 9.04 to install it | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | planegenius: which you woudn't have, since you woudn't have known what to do | 05:02 |
| gbeebe | Perhaps I need to restart totally? It still lists it as 61.0 GB Media under Places in main menu too. | 05:02 |

| Jihui_Choi | Then, if I distribute just an iso single file, would it be ok? | 06:22 |
| digitalchemist | @jihui_choi: I think you can specify a filesystem source for packages. So, basically you'll download the packages you want to the filesystem, add that location to sources, and you can ship your own distro... though I don't know much more about it than that. | 06:22 |

| mecoatwar | ubuntu is like that for me | 07:13 |
| perturbed | cant upgrade it online | 07:13 |
| mecoatwar | like a stick shift car for the first time | 07:13 |
| ziroday | texincali: doesn't it have the catalyst control center or something similar? | 07:13 |
| texincali | yes | 07:13 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: What version do you want? | 07:13 |

| pelangi_ | icha | 07:14 |
| ziroday | perturbed: you need the alternate 8.10 cd | 07:14 |
| perturbed | i want to upgrade to 9.04 desktop | 07:14 |
| ziroday | Lartza_: he can only upgrade to 8.10... | 07:14 |
| mimcpher | perturbed: You need to upgrade FIRST to 8.10, THEN, to 9.04. | 07:14 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: I would seriously concider getting internet to update packages after upgrade | 07:14 |
| `brandon` | as i say again | 07:15 |
| `brandon` | it says Tcl is installed but i don't know where the dir is | 07:15 |
| Lartza_ | ziroday: He has the wrong 9.04 cd | 07:15 |
| `brandon` | can anyone help me | 07:15 |
| ziroday | perturbed: plus, 9.04 is not released yet. | 07:15 |
| mecoatwar | ok how do i install my soundcard......You can't get more general in a question then that can you | 07:15 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: You also need alternate cd's for installing, not the live ones | 07:15 |
| perturbed | my system is up-to-date .. and it allows me to upgrade to 8.10 ..but i dont have unlimited data usage . so i prefer the cd upgradation | 07:15 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: tclsh | 07:15 |
| mecoatwar | lets see how long it takes someone to notice my question | 07:15 |
| perturbed | how do i get the alternate cd ? | 07:15 |
| Sc0 | mecoatwar: First you remove the case... | 07:15 |
| Sc0 | :P | 07:16 |
| `brandon` | ziroday, what? | 07:16 |
| Lartza_ | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate | 07:16 |
| mecoatwar | :'( | 07:16 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: what do you want to do with tcl? | 07:16 |
| perturbed | can i upgrade directly to 9.04 from the alternate cd ? | 07:16 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: It's text based just for you to know | 07:16 |
| mecoatwar | ScO you are as helpful as a bag of rocks in a falling balloon | 07:16 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: No | 07:16 |
| Lartza_ | That is 8.10 alternate | 07:16 |
| mecoatwar | lol | 07:16 |
| ziroday | perturbed: no. You need to upgrade to 8.10 first, then to 9.04 | 07:16 |
| Sc0 | mecoatwar: I assume you're past that step? | 07:16 |
| `brandon` | ziroday, i am trying to make a Egg Drop Bot | 07:16 |
| mecoatwar | wow | 07:16 |
| mecoatwar | really | 07:16 |
| mecoatwar | yes | 07:16 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: errors? | 07:16 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: And wait for 9.04 to be released... | 07:16 |
| perturbed | can i upgrade to 8.10 from the cd ..offline | 07:16 |
| mecoatwar | im laughing really hard right now that question made my day | 07:16 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: YES you got it!!! | 07:17 |
| `brandon` | ziroday, yes when i try to ./configure | 07:17 |
| mecoatwar | thats like saying first you plug it in | 07:17 |
| mecoatwar | then | 07:17 |
| mecoatwar | turn it on | 07:17 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: what is the error? | 07:17 |
| Sc0 | Exactly! | 07:17 |
| Lartza_ | Get the 8.10 alternate | 07:17 |
| mecoatwar | hey | 07:17 |
| `brandon` | ziroday, here is the errors | 07:17 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed | 07:17 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: and why not install from the repo's? | 07:17 |
| `brandon` | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/153858/ | 07:17 |
| mecoatwar | Sc0 want to start a private chat | 07:17 |
| perturbed | iso image of 8.10 alternate ? | 07:17 |
| `brandon` | repo's? | 07:17 |
| Sc0 | Hey, I could have started with "First, you drive to Best Buy..." but you seem like you're on top of things :D | 07:17 |
| Sc0 | Sure | 07:17 |
| mecoatwar | oh yeah | 07:17 |
| mecoatwar | ok how do you start a private chat | 07:18 |
| perturbed | so live cds do not support upgradation ? | 07:18 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: why not install eggdrop like you install every other app? Through synaptic/repo's/apt-get/gnome-app-install | 07:18 |
| mecoatwar | lets just show how much of a noob i am | 07:18 |
| texincali | i can only get clone to work | 07:18 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Yes | 07:18 |
| ziroday | !enter > mecoatwar | 07:18 |
| ubottu | mecoatwar, please see my private message | 07:18 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: That is correct | 07:18 |
| ziroday | !pm > mecoatwar | 07:18 |
| dotblank | !grub | dotblank | 07:18 |
| ubottu | dotblank, please see my private message | 07:18 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: And you can't skip 8.04 to 9.04 when there is 8.10 | 07:18 |
| texincali | it wont let me display 2 desktops at once.... | 07:18 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: YOu have to go one by one | 07:18 |
| perturbed | i cannot skip 8.10 in the alternate cd . i mean can i get alternate for 9.04 directly ? | 07:19 |
| `brandon` | ziroday, i dont know how to. | 07:19 |
| perturbed | okay okay | 07:19 |
| ziroday | perturbed: you cannot go from 8.04 to 9.04 directly | 07:19 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: err how do you install every other app? | 07:19 |
| perturbed | so first step is to get alternate cd for 8.10 | 07:19 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: ANd forget 9.04 for now ok? | 07:19 |
| perturbed | and then alternate for 9.04 | 07:19 |
| mimcpher | Its like a linked list! Though there are skips between LTR :P | 07:19 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Don't get it | 07:19 |
| perturbed | is it not stable ? | 07:19 |
| `brandon` | sudo apt-get install apt-name | 07:19 |
| ziroday | perturbed: correct | 07:20 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Wait for like... under 7 days to it released? | 07:20 |
| dotblank | can I use multiple setup() commands to install grub on multiple drives at one time? | 07:20 |
| `brandon` | or i download it from terminal | 07:20 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: right! so in this case its sudo apt-get install eggdrop | 07:20 |
| perturbed | anybody here has 9.04 ? | 07:20 |
| mimcpher | Lartza_: 10 days I think? | 07:20 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Instructions for you: | 07:20 |
| ziroday | perturbed: 9.04 is _not_ stable. Wait for it to be released | 07:20 |
| velle | Hi, I currently have a dual boot with ubuntu and xp via GRUB. Now I need to reinstall XP, how do I do that without touching the Ubuntu, and maintaining the dual boot? | 07:20 |
| perturbed | so after 7 days it will be available for online upgradation ? | 07:20 |
| ziroday | perturbed: yes | 07:20 |
| `brandon` | now it's telling me | 07:20 |
| dotblank | ziroday: Is very right and you are better off waiting | 07:20 |
| `brandon` | eggdrop is already the newest version | 07:21 |
| perturbed | i thought 9.04 was already released | 07:21 |
| sparkmonkey88 | !grub | dotblank | 07:21 |
| ubottu | dotblank: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:21 |
| perturbed | :D | 07:21 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: then you already have it installed | 07:21 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: where is it then? | 07:21 |
| ziroday | velle: okay, have you made some empty space for windows? | 07:21 |
| perturbed | i was about to do a fresh installation ..i liked the interface | 07:21 |
| dotblank | sparkmonkey88: just read that but I can issue setup() more then once without having to re-enter grub | 07:21 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Get 8.10 alternate cd, burn it, upgrade 8.04 to 8.10, update packages from internet, wait 10 days, download 9.04 alternate, upgrade 8.10 > 9.04, update packages from teh internet | 07:21 |
| dotblank | sparkmonkey88: can* | 07:21 |
| perturbed | okay .. i got that | 07:21 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: I have used the laternate | 07:22 |
| velle | ziroday: yes, already have xp on a ntfs partition | 07:22 |
| === albech_ is now known as albech | ||
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Well, server cd which has the same kind of installer | 07:22 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: It's not hard | 07:22 |
| perturbed | so alternate cd is only for upgradations ? | 07:22 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: No you can get fres install too | 07:22 |
| ziroday | velle: okay, well you will need to have blank space for the windows install. Windows will overwrite grub and you will have to use the livecd to restore it | 07:22 |
| ziroday | !grub | velle | 07:22 |
| ubottu | velle: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:22 |
| perturbed | let me try if i can get alternate cds | 07:22 |
| Lartza_ | But no live or real graphics, check the screenshot | 07:22 |
| perturbed | is fedora better than ubuntu ? | 07:23 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Yes and no | 07:23 |
| sparkmonkey88 | !grub | dotblank | 07:23 |
| ziroday | !best | perturbed | 07:23 |
| ubottu | dotblank: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:23 |
| centHOGG | perturbed: honestly nah | 07:23 |
| ubottu | perturbed: 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. | 07:23 |
| velle | dotblank and ziroday: thanks | 07:23 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: THe packages are newer, but it's less stavle | 07:23 |
| perturbed | okay ..so many of you ppl here use ubuntu ? | 07:23 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: well what are you looking for? | 07:23 |
| Lartza_ | There is SELinux default | 07:23 |
| centHOGG | i'll even say centos is better than fedora :P | 07:23 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: eggdrop | 07:24 |
| ziroday | perturbed: this is the ubuntu channel. So obviously yes | 07:24 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: /usr/bin/eggdrop | 07:24 |
| mimcpher | Lartza_: man, I never thought I'd hear somebody describe something as newer but less stable than ubuntu. | 07:24 |
| perturbed | haha yes | 07:24 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: ah ty | 07:24 |
| mimcpher | Lartza_: unless I understood you backwards | 07:24 |
| Lartza_ | mimcpher: Whhat? | 07:24 |
| Lartza_ | I mean packages you get from teh fedora repository are newer, sometimes even beta | 07:24 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: also take a look in /usr/lib/eggdrop and /usr/share/doc/eggdrop | 07:24 |
| Lartza_ | BUt the whole system is less stable than ubuntu | 07:24 |
| perturbed | okay | 07:25 |
| mimcpher | Lartza_: In the old days of ubuntu, it used to be a buggy pile of stuff cobbled from debian unstable :P | 07:25 |
| Lartza_ | mimcpher: Days have changed huh? :) | 07:25 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: eggdrop is not located in /usr/bin/ | 07:25 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: I have used fedora and I liked it, but I'm forced to use some shitty windows | 07:25 |
| mimcpher | Lartza_: Indeed. A few years ago I wouldn't have believed ubuntu would have been polished as much as it is. Or that I'd be using it. | 07:25 |
| bazhang | Lartza_, watch the language | 07:26 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: okay, does ls -la /usr/bin | grep eggdrop output anything | 07:26 |
| deb-eater-88 | I happen to be running the testing release of Debian on my Dell dimension 4600 c which has been up for 1 day 1:45 with now major failiours | 07:26 |
| perturbed | can i download alternate cd for 8.10 from torrents .. i have unlimited usage during off-peak hours only | 07:26 |
| Tugle | is there a way to configure notify-osd? | 07:26 |
| ziroday | perturbed: y4es | 07:26 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Yes | 07:26 |
| ziroday | Tugle: ask in #ubuntu+1 and no | 07:26 |
| `brandon` | it tells me this | 07:26 |
| Lartza_ | bazhang: Yes sir... | 07:26 |
| perturbed | okay i'll search for it | 07:26 |
| `brandon` | brandon@ubuntu:~$ ls -la /usr/bin | grep eggdrop | 07:26 |

| kyle_ | Is there software that i can put on a usb drive that will boot, then let me install from choice of iso files on that drive. In other words... the system boots the usb, then redirects booting to an iso | 07:27 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: What? STOP THERE | 07:27 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: right, so it _is_ there. | 07:27 |
| perturbed | woops | 07:27 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: You search what from where? | 07:27 |
| perturbed | 07:27 | |
| mimcpher | kyle_: Yes. Unfortunately I am just leaving :P | 07:27 |
| Lartza_ | Maybe wait a little? | 07:27 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: so i need to be root to access that file? | 07:27 |
| perturbed | alternate cd for ubuntu 8.10 torrents | 07:27 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate | 07:27 |
| Lartza_ | Ubuntu has OFFICIAL torernts for every cd | 07:28 |
| `brandon` | how do i do that without using terminal? | 07:28 |
| prikolchik | kyle_: umm.. why dont u just create a USB startup disk? | 07:28 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: no, all users can read and execute that file. Do you understand what you are doing? What are you trying to do? | 07:28 |
| perturbed | can i use bittorrents on those mirrors | 07:28 |
| perturbed | i want to pause the downloading in peak hours | 07:28 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Have you the site open? | 07:28 |
| prikolchik | kyle_: no iso's and it boots from it and u can install Ubuntu just like from live CD? | 07:28 |
| taisteluorava | Hey, could someone help me to get x800xt to work properly on ubuntu 8.10? I have already tested a newest fglrx drivers, but it seem not working properly. | 07:28 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: i am trying to go to that file from | 07:28 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: It reads "Alternate installer details"? | 07:28 |
| perturbed | its openeing | 07:28 |
| `brandon` | file browser | 07:28 |
| kyle_ | prikolchik, i think it would be pretty nice to have my collection of isos on one stick that i can choose to boot from | 07:28 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: well have you gone to /usr/bin? | 07:29 |
| `brandon` | yes | 07:29 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: There should be "BitTorrent" then little more down "Ubuntu 8.10" | 07:29 |
| ``y7 | why can't i sudo apt-get install in two different terminals at the same time? | 07:29 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Then "ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent" | 07:29 |
| Lartza_ | Clcik that and done | 07:29 |
| ziroday | ``y7: because sudo was not designed like that. | 07:29 |
| ``y7 | ziroday, so how would i go about installing two apps at the same time? | 07:29 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Remember that next time, ubuntu has torrents for every cd :) | 07:29 |
| ziroday | ``y7: you don't. You wait for one to finish first. | 07:30 |
| koolkartik | :) | 07:30 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: i am looking at /usr/bin right now | 07:30 |
| perturbed | okay .. and the rest is same as other torrents | 07:30 |
| `brandon` | ziroday: and i dont see a eggdrop dir | 07:30 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: yes, and eggdrop is in there. | 07:30 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Totally | 07:30 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: its not a dir, its a single file | 07:30 |
| bazhang | ``y7, just put them in the same apt-get install command | 07:30 |
| `brandon` | so its a file not a dir | 07:30 |
| ``y7 | bazhang: apt-get install thunderbird firefox <----- something like that? | 07:30 |
| Lartza_ | perturbed: Torrents aren't just from piratebay or whatever, many bigger programs and games offer torrents as download too on their own site | 07:30 |
| ziroday | `brandon`: yes, its the executable. What are you trying to do? | 07:30 |

| Zedde | Hello , If I do apt-cache search opera I get 50+ results, and most of the dosn't have the word opera in it, why ? | 08:33 |
| dotblank | thephoenix04: ok look for libcurses-dev and libncurses-dev | 08:33 |
| dotblank | Zedde: This is very conditional | 08:34 |
| guja | Happy Easter to all Orthodox people who celebrate it today! | 08:34 |
| KyleK | how important is scrollkeeper? | 08:34 |
| Zedde | dotblank: is there a way just search for the word "opera" nothing ells ? or starts with opera only | 08:35 |
| thephoenix04 | dotblank - there is a libcurses-ocaml-dev. is that it? and what does "dev" mean? | 08:35 |
| Zedde | dotblank: I'm running ubuntu 8.10 x64 and did a apr-get update before | 08:35 |
| dotblank | thephoenix04: -dev means it has the files needed to configure or compile programs | 08:35 |
| Zedde | apt | 08:35 |
| dotblank | Zedde: have you searched via synaptic? | 08:35 |
| thephoenix04 | so is the one listed above the one i need? | 08:35 |
| thephoenix04 | "libcurses-ocaml-dev" | 08:36 |
| dotblank | thephoenix04: I would look for libncurses-dev | 08:36 |
| thephoenix04 | i found that one | 08:36 |
| thephoenix04 | but not the "libcurses" | 08:36 |
| thephoenix04 | are they different? | 08:36 |
| Gobby | How do i make an icon not have a name? | 08:37 |
| thephoenix04 | dotblank: hey it worked! thanks | 08:37 |
| dotblank | well similar and different. I would install the libncurses and try ./configure again | 08:37 |
| thephoenix04 | : ) | 08:37 |
| Gobby | So its just plain? | 08:37 |
| dotblank | np | 08:37 |
| Zedde | dotblank: synaptic? .. I tried to search using the GUI too but about the same results , not as many but still non off them have the word opera in it | 08:37 |
| Gobby | How do i make an icon that is on my desktop not have a name?? So it just shows the icon? | 08:38 |
| dotblank | Zedde: There seems to be no opera package in ubuntu repos | 08:39 |
| Zedde | opera has a ubuntu 8.10 32/64 version on theres homepage | 08:39 |
| dotblank | Zedde: try this | 08:39 |
| dotblank | http://www.opera.com/download/ | 08:39 |
| Zedde | dotblank: okay , then I should get no results ;( | 08:39 |
| dotblank | Zedde: did you already install it? | 08:40 |
| Zedde | no | 08:40 |
| dotblank | Zedde: that package won't appear in synaptic untill you install it | 08:40 |
| Zedde | dotblank: is there another way to search with apt ? like opera* or "opera" ? | 08:40 |
| dotblank | Zedde: There is no package for opera in the official repos | 08:41 |
| dotblank | !opera | 08:41 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 08:41 |
| dotblank | ^^ | 08:41 |
| dotblank | there | 08:41 |
| Zedde | I have done that | 08:41 |
| dotblank | Is it installed? | 08:41 |
| Zedde | no | 08:42 |
| Zedde | Well I can't finde it that way | 08:42 |
| dotblank | have you tried running the .deb file from opera's web-site | 08:42 |
| dotblank | Zedde: you should be able to just double click it and install | 08:42 |
| Zedde | dotblank: I'm going to do that :) kjust making my point that I can't trust the apt if I'm searching for a pkg :( | 08:43 |
| dotblank | Zedde: The package will appear once you install it, there are legal reasons why it is not in the official repo | 08:44 |
| Zedde | dotblank: okay, | 08:44 |
| Zedde | dotblank: a new question that, can't I narrow down a serch with apt ? | 08:44 |
| Zedde | that = then | 08:44 |

| stevr1it | whenre to find it? I have tried only the one in the list | 08:52 |
| stevr1it | but the problem exists only when i try to print pictures of files a bit bigger than normal | 08:53 |

| roadmap | If not why not go with Fat32? | 08:56 |
| === mike is now known as Guest91445 | ||
| jetscreamer | fat32 and >2gb files is why | 08:57 |
| roadmap | Its 4GB I believe, but you're right | 08:57 |
| jetscreamer | no perms is another | 08:57 |
| dotblank | stevr1it: try http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/foomatic-db-engine | 08:57 |
| roadmap | Since its going to be shared remotely anyways, samba should handle it so NTFS would work just fine | 08:57 |
| harvest | roadmap, Basically I will be sharing on my Jaunty box - but would like to access files from (my wife still uses windows) box. | 08:57 |
| timfrost | stevr1it: it is there. Select the package, then use 'Package->Force Version'. It is greyed out unless there is more than one version of the selected package available. | 08:58 |
| roadmap | harvest: NTFS would work just fine. | 08:58 |
| dotblank | timfrost: its probally grayed out | 08:58 |

| bazhang | toan, ubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:59 |
| harvest | *would | 08:59 |
| toan | can you detail? | 08:59 |
| roadmap | harvest: Fat32 doesnt have large file support, so if you need something >2GB (I think its >4GB but may be mistaken) its not going to work for you | 08:59 |
| soypanlin | hello ,everyone | 08:59 |
| dotblank | Hello | 08:59 |
| bazhang | toan, open a terminal, type : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:59 |
| roadmap | harvest: The only "advantage" you really have is no permissions. With NTFS you have ownership permissions on files so you have to ensure everyone has the proper permissions to access the shared file/folder and make the necessary modifications. | 09:00 |
| harvest | roadmap, Yea that's what I figured - the drive is a 500GB SATA | 09:00 |
| toan | yes | 09:00 |
| toan | thank you | 09:00 |
| soypanlin | my sata is 600GB | 09:00 |
| roadmap | if we must, my desktop has a 500GB RAID0+1 array setup | 09:00 |
| roadmap | :( | 09:00 |
| dotblank | samba will work with almost any file system.. | 09:00 |
| rohan | i have a 320gb external hard disk. when i use it ubuntu, on safe removal, it does not actually power off like in windows. hence, on removal, there is a slight screeching noise from the hdd. how do i force the hdd to power down before removal? or at least stop spinning? | 09:01 |
| harvest | roadmap, I don't think the permission's thing will be a very big obstacle - I'm fairly comfortable with networking.... | 09:01 |
| === Silvr is now known as Silvr_ | ||
| dotblank | rohan: hdparm | 09:01 |
| roadmap | harvest: There are about 5000+ tutorials online dealing with NTFS/file sharing permissions through windows. | 09:01 |
| harvest | jetscreamer, Thanks for input | 09:01 |
| roadmap | harvest: It shouldn't be too bad at all. | 09:01 |
| rohan | dotblank: it's detected as a SCSI device, thanks to libata.. so sdparm i guess? | 09:01 |
| ian-- | fat32 is awful | 09:02 |
| dotblank | rohan: should still work | 09:02 |
| unomi | in a pinch, its easier to get to the data of a fat32 disk than an ntfs one | 09:02 |
| stevr1it | timfrost: sorry it is there .. where? | 09:02 |
| rohan | ian--: why is fat32 awful? | 09:02 |
| roadmap | unomi: I don't know about that. I think data recovery/forensic tools have come a long way. | 09:02 |
| harvest | roadmap, Yea - Tell me - I could not believe how easy and straight forward the networking is in Ubuntu - piece of cake..... | 09:03 |
| rohan | ian--: if you never need files > 4gb, it's pretty good, and universal (which is it's main advantage) | 09:03 |
| === xemacs2 is now known as xemacs | ||
| roadmap | unomi: I recently had to recover data off a Windows XP/NTFS setup. I managed to get 90% of the data the person wanted. Only a few things were inaccessible. | 09:03 |
| unomi | what did you use? | 09:03 |
| dotblank | Jut install ext4, who cares if windows can't read it (actually it can) if samba's running | 09:03 |
| stevr1it | timfrost: it is totally reyed | 09:03 |
| roadmap | unomi: gparted bootable CD. It comes with some hdd forensic tools :). | 09:04 |
| harvest | roadmap, Not sure if Big Blue will ever get it right - in all these years they still can't get it right - know what I mean? | 09:04 |
| stevr1it | greyed | 09:04 |
| unomi | sounds alright then | 09:04 |
| harvest | roadmap, Thanks for input | 09:04 |
| roadmap | unomi: the machine had pretty much lost its partition table definitions, so all the computer was seeing was junk data. For the most part all the data was in tact. | 09:04 |
| roadmap | harvest: No problem :). | 09:05 |
| dotblank | stevr1it: Im sorry, Im out of ideas perhaps try using 8.04 or use 9.04 | 09:05 |
| betatesting | Anyone that has a similar problem installing ENVY fixed this issue with comwiz not working | 09:05 |
| toan | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)? | 09:05 |
| harvest | roadmap, I suppose I could use gparted to set this drive to NTFS - correct? | 09:05 |
| timfrost | stevr1it: if the option is greyed out, then there is only one version of that package in the repositories. That means that you can't go back to an older version. | 09:05 |
| stevr1it | dotblank: i have tried that foomatic-db-engine but when i try to install with gdebi it says that this is too old and it cannot install it | 09:05 |
| roadmap | harvest: You very well could. | 09:06 |
| n4h0j | When I move my mouse my speakers sounds a distorting sound. The sound is louder if I move the mouse over any "active" element, like a link or something. This problem did not exist in XP. Any ideas? | 09:06 |

| re-rexer | Hi! Is anyone installint ubuntu server 8.04.2 into RAID1 (sorry 4 my eng) | 09:06 |
| roadmap | harvest: NTFS is Microsofts magical proprietary partition. You may want to go about setting it to NTFS through windows. | 09:06 |
| stevr1it | dotbalnk: ok tell me how | 09:06 |
| roadmap | harvest: Although GParted may be able to do it. I forget off hand. | 09:06 |
| Silvr_ | Can someone answer answer a question for me please? What is the best way to enable boot logging? | 09:07 |
| Silvr_ | or crashes?? | 09:07 |
| harvest | roadmap, ok - you're probably right to stay proprietary with this. | 09:07 |
| dotblank | just remove the the package from synaptic and install the old one, this is as much advice I can offer, you could ask latter when there are more ppl here | 09:07 |
| toan | help me!when i am install emacs then E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 09:07 |
| roadmap | harvest: well, I remember partition magic could do it, so I imagine Gparted should. I have no idea though, I generally use gparted for splitting up existing partitions. | 09:08 |
| stevr1it | dotblank: in synaptinc there aret o many foomatic driver, should i uninstall only the db-engine? | 09:08 |

| thephoenix04 | JECHO: oh. do you know how to open it? or where i can find it? im pretty new to ubuntu | 09:11 |
| dotblank | roadmap: I run back track in VM | 09:11 |
| roadmap | harvest: If you're going to be editing partitions on that system I would recommend downloading the GParted bootable CD and resizing it from the Live CD (as opposed through on the active machine) | 09:11 |
| Silvr_ | yes, it shows me everything, but the it gets to the splash screen and the VM I am running it in crashes. | 09:12 |
| roadmap | harvest: and yes you can resize it. | 09:12 |
| jutsu | harvest: Look through fdisk/cfdisk/gparted. | 09:12 |
| dotblank | Silvr_: did you get rid of the splash option? | 09:12 |
| JECHO | thepheonix open a terminal and type "sudo nautilus /usr/local/etc .... that will open the directory | 09:12 |
| JECHO | ...graphically | 09:12 |
| Silvr_ | yes | 09:12 |
| thephoenix04 | timfrost: im suppose to configure a program for my system | 09:12 |
| jutsu | Probably on a partiton which doesn't mount any of your ubuntu-partitions. | 09:13 |
| thephoenix04 | so i need to find that location | 09:13 |
| harvest | roadmap, Cool - I think I have a CD somewhere I downloaded before - So it's safe to change the size of my Swap partition? | 09:13 |

| dotblank | Silvr_: sorry looks like I can't help | 09:14 |
| stevr1it | it si not the pritner driver is something connected with the permissions | 09:14 |
| dotblank | stevr1it: ugh, have you tried 9.04? | 09:14 |
| Silvr_ | the last output in verbose is "waiting for root filesystem" | 09:15 |

| rocko | can someone tell me what this iptable rules will do to my firewall ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/153907/ | 09:15 |
| harvest | roadmap, Oh forgot to ask what you think would be a good size to set to ? - Currently running 3GB's on this puppy. | 09:15 |
| stevr1it | dotblank: what do you mean? I don't understand | 09:15 |
| timfrost | thephoenix04: the graphical way is what JECHO suggested. In a terminal use 'sudo -i' to get a root shell, then 'cd /usr/local/etc' in that shell. | 09:15 |
| thephoenix04 | is nautilus a program i need to install or does it already come with ubuntu? | 09:16 |
| lstarnes | thephoenix04: it is installed by default | 09:16 |
| roadmap | harvest: i generally set it to double the size of the amount of RAM i have | 09:16 |
| JECHO | its the file manager with ubuntu | 09:16 |
| === phantomcircuit_ is now known as phantomcircuit | ||
| dotblank | stevr1it: in ubuntu alot of access controls are handled by groups so by modifying what groups you are a member can change your permissions | 09:16 |
| harvest | roadmap, So your saying it should be 6GB's ? | 09:16 |
| roadmap | harvest: in modern systems where you have 2-4GB of ram, that may seem costly :) | 09:16 |
| dotblank | thephoenix04: it is already installed | 09:17 |
| roadmap | harvest: with 3GB I' say ~5GB but Im sure someone here would tell you that may be overkill. | 09:17 |
| igorsh | rocko: first it set policy in drop. then it allow ping and sessions that you initiate | 09:17 |
| igorsh | rocko: and it allow localhost connections | 09:18 |
| roadmap | harvest: Google seems to agree with me though - http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=Swap+Size+Recommendation&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= | 09:18 |
| dotblank | Well I has to get sleep now. ttyl | 09:18 |
| lstarnes | rocko: that will essentially block all incoming connections except from your own computer's loopback connection | 09:18 |
| lstarnes | rocko: generally, you don't need to block everything | 09:18 |
| roadmap | harvest: From google it says 1.5 to 2x, so with 3GB about 5GB is right. | 09:18 |
| harvest | roadmap, Well I thought 2,9GB's was too much - thats what it set on my install - Will try it for awhile and do a Wait N See how it goes for now. | 09:18 |

| Omen | is there a reason why fullscreen video tends to have frame rate issues on Ubuntu for me? | 09:20 |
| roadmap | Omen: full screen flash has frame rate issues for me :(. I've learned to accept it. | 09:20 |
| harvest | roadmap, I really need to just do some reading on it and see exactly how the swap actually works and decide from there etc. etc. | 09:20 |
| JECHO | i have no fullscreen framerate issues | 09:20 |
| roadmap | harvest: Thats a fair suggestion. I think you'll end up realizing 5GB may be a good idea and go from there. | 09:21 |
| JECHO | i installed all codecs through medibuntu | 09:21 |
| Omen | i wish i could get past it since i watch a lot of online video, hulu and sucj | 09:21 |
| Omen | such | 09:21 |
| rocko | lstarnes, i see, i want to secure my server which is running as a phone server. I changed the default ssh 22 port to 1200 and restarted the sshd service then tried running ssh -p 1200 localhost which comes back with ssh: connect to host localhost port 12000: Connection refused | 09:21 |
| Omen | ill look that up | 09:21 |
| harvest | roadmap, Great - later on thx | 09:21 |
| jbee | hey...I have a problem with my ext3 filesystem,i have done many fscks and always seems to correct the problem but everytime same problems occur!Anyway,i want to ask if i can have a partition with no filesystem at all...Seems stupid but a friend told me it can happen and i think it'd be just perfect for backup!So can it happen or not? | 09:22 |
| stevr1it | dotbalnk: my login profile user is connected with the same name group | 09:22 |
| JECHO | jbee a partition wont hold data unless it is formatted | 09:22 |
| stevr1it | dotblank: my login profile user is connected with the same name group | 09:23 |
| tsimpson | jbee: without a filesystem, you can not access files | 09:23 |
| Omen | JECHO: non-free-codecs? | 09:23 |
| jbee | ok JECHO so what filesystem you suggest using for backup?i have some bad experiences with ext3 and reifers | 09:23 |
| lorenzo | ciao a tutti qualcuno usa elisa media center? | 09:24 |
| armornick | jbee: try ex2 | 09:24 |
| armornick | *ext2 | 09:24 |
| JECHO | Omen: yes non-free-codecs check my blog if you nee da tutorial... jechonet.blogspot.com | 09:24 |
| tsimpson | recurring errors may indicate HDD failure | 09:24 |
| roadmap | Omen: Ive used the nonfree with full screen issues (namely flash) | 09:24 |
| JECHO | jbee: i would suggest ext2. etx4 or even ntfs | 09:24 |
| roadmap | VLC plays video just fine (regular video) :( | 09:24 |
| armornick | jbee: maybe there's a problem with the jounaling | 09:24 |
| roadmap | Flash seems fail | 09:24 |
| roadmap | I wonder if disabling compiz would do anything. | 09:24 |
| jbee | thanks people | 09:24 |
| jbee | :) | 09:24 |
| JECHO | jbee: :) | 09:25 |
| jbee | oh and one last to see if i can save the files i have now | 09:25 |
| jbee | simple fsck.ext3 with answering all yes doesn't correct anything | 09:25 |
| Omen | hmm well i get some issues with other codecs as well. but that usually seems to be a player problem, vlc>banshee and totem for me. but flash seems same between epiphany and firefox. | 09:25 |
| PROject-Emerald | I need help really quickly, | 09:26 |
| jbee | tried -c but it just take too much time,whole days... | 09:26 |
| JECHO | Omen: have you tried MPlayer? | 09:26 |
| PROject-Emerald | is XFree a linux distro? | 09:26 |
| jbee | something else i could try? | 09:26 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I think his problem is with full screen flash :( | 09:26 |
| armornick | PROject-Emerald: XFree is the windowing system | 09:26 |
| roadmap | I know mine is. | 09:26 |
| PROject-Emerald | Okay, and how do I find out which version I'm on? | 09:26 |
| whoreface | what cli command can i use to determine my wireless chipset? | 09:26 |
| JECHO | roadmap: yeah i never have had a full screen flash prob | 09:26 |
| igorsh | PROject-Emerald: xfree is an x server | 09:26 |
| thephoenix04 | what is the source type for ubuntu | 09:27 |
| igorsh | PROject-Emerald: now xfree replaced by xorg | 09:27 |
| roadmap | JECHO: flash plays a little sluggish non full screen but its tolerable, going full screen is like watching paint dry | 09:27 |
| armornick | PROject-Emerald: use a terminal and type Xorg -version | 09:27 |
| PROject-Emerald | Ah, how do I find out which xorg version I'm on? | 09:27 |
| PROject-Emerald | Okay | 09:27 |
| JECHO | roadmap: yeah i havent ever had that problem. did you install flash from medibuntu or directly? | 09:27 |
| roadmap | JECHO: the audio continues just fine, the video skips massive amounts of frames and plays frame by frame (slowly) when it is moving. It has to skip to sync up with the audio | 09:28 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I just installed Adobe Flash 10 a minute ago to see if that would help. I installed it directly. | 09:28 |
| PROject-Emerald | How do I update Xorg? On the ATI website it says the minimum version they support is 6.8 but I'm on 1.5.2 I guess | 09:28 |
| rocko | what is the difference between ssh_config and sshd_config ? | 09:28 |
| vigo | !xorg | 09:28 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 09:28 |
| Dima_Sharihin | PROject-Emerald, xorg version 6.8? o_O | 09:28 |
| JECHO | roadmap: i havent installe ddirectly... maybe thats a bug or something. I alwas use medibuntu and havent had any issues | 09:28 |
| Omen | umm some, but i havent tested it for the issue | 09:29 |
| jbee | to see if i can save the files i have now.simple fsck.ext3 with answering all yes doesn't correct anything, tried -c but it just take too much time,whole days...Anything else i could try? | 09:29 |
| marko_ | i have just installed Oblivion on Ubuntu under Wine. When i start it it asks me what graphics card im using and i can only see Direct3D HAL on it. how can i make it locate my actual gfx card? | 09:29 |
| PROject-Emerald | The only thing the ATI site has for Xorg is "X.Org 6.8 Drivers" | 09:29 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I just assumed it was the age of the laptop it was installed on, although on windows flash works flawlessly (same machine) | 09:29 |
| JECHO | jbee: what are you tryign to do? | 09:29 |
| armornick | PROject-Emerald: that's impossible, the latest version of Xorg is 1.6.0 | 09:29 |
| igorsh | PROject-Emerald: why not to install drivers from repo? | 09:29 |
| Dima_Sharihin | PROject-Emerald, i think, that _driver_ has version 6.8) | 09:29 |
| timfrost | rocko: sshd_config is for the server on your machine (sshd), while ssh_config is read by the client (when you do 'ssh ....') | 09:30 |
| JECHO | roadmap: hmm... interesting. if you try medibuntu and still have problems it must be a hardware issue or something even though it works well in windows | 09:30 |
| PROject-Emerald | Bcause every time I do it messe sup my display or xorg.conf or something and I have to go in and reset everything. I'm relatively new to Linux but I managed to get CSS working, but I need my videocard to work properly. | 09:30 |
| Omen | how do u use medibuntu? add repositories and then look for codecs in synaptic? | 09:30 |
| jbee | just correcting the filesystem...it lags even when playing music and it always stop me for doing manually fsck at boot! | 09:30 |
| roadmap | JECHO: It doesnt actually bother me. At least not anymore. I plan on getting a netbook very soon. I've used this laptop primary for pentesting (backtrack) | 09:30 |
| JECHO | Omen: go to jechonet.blogspot.com and i have a tutorial on there titled " 7 things to do on a frsh ubuntu install" | 09:30 |
| Omen | ok | 09:31 |
| jbee | also i cannot unrar files,it lags and force me to reset the power | 09:31 |
| Omen | ok there it is on step 3 | 09:31 |
| PROject-Emerald | So if someone wants to show me how to "repo" drivers that'd be awesoe | 09:31 |
| PROject-Emerald | awesome** | 09:31 |
| JECHO | roadmap: i have an eee pc and love it! | 09:31 |
| whoreface | what cli command can i use to determine my wireless chipset? | 09:31 |
| igorsh | PROject-Emerald: there is xorg 7.4 in ubuntu 8.10 | 09:31 |
| marko_ | i have just installed Oblivion on Ubuntu under Wine. When i start it it asks me what graphics card im using and i can only see Direct3D HAL on it. how can i make it locate my actual gfx card? | 09:31 |
| roadmap | JECHO: what size? | 09:31 |
| igorsh | 1.5.2 is version of xserver | 09:32 |
| PROject-Emerald | No idea. I just typed xorg -version and it gave me 1.6.0 | 09:32 |
| igorsh | it is not the same | 09:32 |
| JECHO | roadmap: the 10" 1000ha and i had the 900 | 09:32 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I originally was aiming to get the 901 and a friend of mind suggested to get the 10" model because the 9" model keyboard is a little strange | 09:32 |
| roadmap | JECHO: doesn't the 10" models have a ram deck or whatever its called (for ease of access) to install additional ram? | 09:32 |
| armornick | PROject-Emerald: didn't you ever had a popup telling you restricted drivers were disabled? | 09:32 |
| JECHO | roadmap: i would suggest the same thing... and also... ubuntu 9.04 runs excellent on it right out of the box | 09:32 |
| JECHO | roadmap: yes | 09:32 |
| jbee | no ideas people? | 09:32 |
| roadmap | JECHO: the easypeasy edition or standard 9.04? | 09:33 |
| PROject-Emerald | No, but everything is ridiculously choppy because my videocard drivers aren't installed | 09:33 |
| vigo | jbee: gzip? | 09:33 |
| Holek_ | hey, is there a way to convert ext3 partition to ext4 without data loss? | 09:33 |
| Omen | oh i want a little netbook pretty bad | 09:33 |
| JECHO | roadmap: i have used easy peasy and hate dit. its a watered down version of ubuntu. im using standard runs liek a dream | 09:33 |
| JECHO | Oman: haha yeah theyre fun | 09:33 |
| whoreface | yeah | 09:33 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I hear they use mini pci-e wireless cards. Can you possibly tell me the wireless hardware contained in your EEEPC? | 09:33 |
| armornick | Omen: whatever you do, don't buy a dell mini | 09:33 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I'm looking to replace my current pentest machine with a smaller, lighter netbook. :(. | 09:34 |
| whoreface | i've spent the last 2 days building a pe and backing mine up over a network share so i could switch between ubuntu and winxp | 09:34 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, aethros wifi - madwifi driver))) | 09:34 |
| JECHO | roadmap: i dont have it with me right now and i dont know off the top of my head. asus' website might have the specs | 09:34 |
| harvest | roadmap, Hey installed < gparted > - when I use the bootable gparted - Will I be changing the /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda5 - http://imagebin.org/46057 ? ? | 09:34 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: You know for a fact? | 09:34 |
| whoreface | i have an inspiron mini, but i got it free | 09:34 |
| armornick | PROject-Emerald: well, there should be an entry under system > administration called hardware drivers or something like that | 09:34 |
| armornick | whoreface: what model? and do the video drivers work? | 09:35 |
| roadmap | harvest: Your swap file is the smaller one (its even labeled below as /dev/sda5 linux-swap) | 09:35 |
| PROject-Emerald | It says no proprietary drivers are on the system | 09:35 |
| JECHO | roadmap: haha you wont be dissapointed :) | 09:35 |
| vigo | jbee: there are a couple of Unrar , Zip utilities in the repositories. | 09:35 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, no, i talked with owner of eeepc900) | 09:35 |
| jbee | vigo: the problem is not only unraring files...It also lags even if playing music!The filesystem is corrupted but fsck doesn't correct it | 09:35 |
| rocko | timfrost, Thanks for the tip ! that is what was wrong ! :) | 09:35 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: I heard that the wireless chipsets vary from model to model. | 09:35 |
| armornick | PROject-Emerald: it doesn't ask you to enable them? | 09:35 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: Thats why I was curious. | 09:35 |
| PROject-Emerald | Nothing is in the boxed | 09:35 |
| PROject-Emerald | boxes* | 09:35 |
| armornick | strange | 09:35 |
| Zedde | Hello I lik eto convert som files from unix to dos on my ubuntu server , i'm going to send some files to a friend, I tried todos and unix2dos, but non of them is installed and apt-get install can't finde them | 09:35 |
| vigo | jbee: Have you cleaned it lately? | 09:35 |
| jbee | well no simple fsck,i cannot use -c as i said as it takes too much time... | 09:35 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: The fact they use mini pci-e wireless cards means i can just buy a cheap replacement if i have to. | 09:36 |
| armornick | Zedde: what kind of files are these? | 09:36 |
| roadmap | JECHO: Does yours have the SSD or the standard HDD? | 09:36 |
| harvest | roadmap, Ok - You can see why I want to install a 500GB for storage - my main drive is a 78GB Raptor 10,000 rpm - it hauls boot...... | 09:36 |
| JECHO | roadmap: 160GB HDD :D | 09:36 |
| jbee | when you say clean it vigo?what exactly do you mean? | 09:36 |
| roadmap | harvest: If you have the other drive attached (the 500GB Storage Drive) then click on the down arrow in the top right corner by /dev/sda (69.24 GB) | 09:36 |
| Omen | oh sweet i didnt know you could add keys from terminal | 09:36 |
| JECHO | roadmap: my 900 had a SSD | 09:36 |
| marko_ | how do i make Wine know what my graphics card is? | 09:36 |
| Zedde | armornick: text files , openvpn config files I'm going to send out | 09:36 |
| PrebenR | Every time I start my computer the master volume is muted. How can I change this or is it a jaunty bug? | 09:36 |
| roadmap | harvest: It should show you a list of other drives (like /dev/sdb) | 09:36 |
| vigo | jbee: There is a command that removes/purges old unused or broken packages. | 09:37 |
| jbee | xmmm | 09:37 |
| armornick | Zedde: they should be compatible if you saved them as ANSI files | 09:37 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, If you'll buy new EEE, you will have aethros).there are many subversion of madwifi driver, so you'll have to check) | 09:37 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I wanted to wait until SSD sizes got bigger but the current SSDs are priced out of stupidity. Larger SSD sizes would make the EEEPC price jump significantly. | 09:37 |
| JECHO | roadmap: i agree | 09:37 |
| Zedde | armornick: they aren't at the moment , I have used the files that came with the pkg | 09:37 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: as long as madwifi-ng works on it I'd be happy :(. | 09:37 |
| jbee | tried some commands that found by googleing but nothing helped!You have something specific in mind though? | 09:38 |
| vigo | jbee: Mainloy it just purges broken packages that can swamp a system, let me see if I can locate the data on it, it may be what the error is. | 09:38 |
| harvest | roadmap, Ah - I need to install that yet - still tweaking this new install of Jaunty - but remember what your saying from using bootable gparted before - it's all coming back now :o) | 09:38 |
| JECHO | roadmap: mine is brandnew and all of the hardware worke dout of the box with ubuntu. no configuring needed. | 09:38 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, I have broadcom wifi using ndiswrapper :( | 09:39 |
| harvest | JECHO, Nice when everthing "Just Works!" huh? | 09:39 |
| roadmap | harvest: Ive had strange results using gparted from the same drive that i'm trying to partition. I'd recommend using the bootable CD so that your HDD/Swap partitions arent mounted when you go about resizing it. Or else you're going to have a world of hurt | 09:39 |
| JECHO | Omen: did you get the medibuntu working? | 09:39 |
| JECHO | harvest: oh yes. its like sex. | 09:39 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: Broadcom is the wireless failure of the linux world :(. I understand your pain. | 09:39 |
| Morclye | I'm going to try installing ATI Catalyst driver. How do I remove current driver which is the one click installed restricted driver from fresh install? | 09:39 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I'd plan on using Backtrack with it :). Not necessarily Ubuntu. | 09:39 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, because native b43-driver doesn't works anyway) | 09:39 |
| roadmap | JECHO: How much was your 1000HA? | 09:39 |
| ziroday | Morclye: that is the ati catalyst driver | 09:40 |
| jbee | vigo: which command is doing it? | 09:40 |
| JECHO | roadmap: $330 from amazon | 09:40 |
| marko_ | can someone PLEASE help me? how do i make games under Wine find my actual graphics card? | 09:40 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: none of the drivers seem to work. fwcutter, bcm43xx or whatever, they are all evil. | 09:40 |
| harvest | roadmap, Yea - Was just looking at my drive locally - but will use the Gparted Boot .iso CD when I actually make changes.... | 09:40 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I think they are a little cheaper now :(. | 09:40 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, yeah))) | 09:40 |
| roadmap | I know the 901 model was on sale recently for around $240 | 09:40 |
| Morclye | ziroday: Oh, I think I still need to remove it in order to try out the new one, right? | 09:40 |
| ziroday | marko_: I presume its a setting under winecfg, ask in #winehq for more help | 09:40 |
| JECHO | roadmap yeah the 900 models are cheap | 09:40 |
| ziroday | Morclye: how are you trying out the new one? | 09:41 |
| harvest | JECHO, Great analogue ! | 09:41 |
| Flynsarmy | Ever since the kernel + nvidia graphics driver update a week or so ago (intrepid) about once a day my screen freezes and kind of 'shivers'. Is this a known issue? | 09:41 |
| roadmap | JECHO: I imagine yours came with Windows and you had to format it right? There are linux EEEPCs but finding them sold online or in retail outlets seem damned near impossible. | 09:41 |
| JECHO | harvest: haha thanks :-p | 09:41 |
| Dima_Sharihin | JECHO, where are 900 models cheap? | 09:41 |
| vigo | jbee: still looking, I just ran it an hour ago, it seemed to help alot, but I am careful on command stuff, still looking for the Debian site. | 09:41 |
| roadmap | JECHO: Im hoping if I can find a linux one it'd cut the price by about $40. | 09:41 |
| Morclye | ziroday: Downloading Catalyst 9.4 from ATI driver support page and installing it with the script it comes with | 09:41 |
| JECHO | roadmap: yeah i had to reinstall | 09:41 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: Newegg, Zip Zoom Fly, Geeks.com, couple of places that listed 901 sales recently. | 09:42 |
| jbee | oh ok vigo take your time... | 09:42 |
| JECHO | Dima_Sharihin: Target has 900 models for cheap lol but im sure amazon does too | 09:42 |
| ziroday | Morclye: sure, but why? | 09:42 |
| ziroday | Morclye: do the current drivers not work? | 09:42 |
| roadmap | JECHO: what color is yours :) | 09:42 |
| JECHO | roadmap: theyre definitely cheaper with linux on them' | 09:43 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, huh. i'd bought acer extensa 4220 instead eeepc)) | 09:43 |
| JECHO | roadmap: fine ebony :) | 09:43 |
| vigo | jbee: it is apt-get autoclean, but here , look at this link: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/friday-fun-useful-linux-terminal-commands-for-new-users/ | 09:43 |
| thephoenix04 | how do you find the "capture source" for your internet connection? | 09:43 |
| roadmap | JECHO: Newegg has a Black 1000HA for $350 with WinXP home :(. Fail. | 09:43 |
| Zedde | Flynsarmy: I have a laptop with a Nvidia quad card and latest driver slows my system down to the point even text in terminals dosn't update so i'm running w/o driivers | 09:43 |
| Morclye | ziroday: No, I've had a lot of problems with these ones, none of 3D programs work correctly and even 2D is miserable. When I drag program windows around they move in steps leaving ghost frames behind dragging path | 09:43 |
| roadmap | Dima_Sharihin: Whys that? | 09:43 |
| JECHO | roadmap: haha mine was 330! I won :) | 09:43 |
| roadmap | 160GB HDD? | 09:43 |
| Flynsarmy | Zedde, I'm not having performance issues like that however have been having weird terminal issues | 09:44 |
| JECHO | roadmap: 160GB HDD 1GB RAM Atom n270 | 09:44 |
| Morclye | ziroday: And all this with desktop effects disabled. I have flickering videos too. Enabling effects makes things even worse and I was hoping new drivers would bring happiness to this | 09:44 |
| Dima_Sharihin | roadmap, it has multidrive dvdrw) and 14.1" lcd) i wanted to buy notebook) | 09:44 |
| JECHO | roadmap: it even runs compiz :D | 09:44 |
| ziroday | Morclye: hmm they shouldn't. The package you want to remove is xorg-driver-fglrx | 09:44 |
| Zedde | Flynsarmy: maybe not performance problem but it feels like that, | 09:44 |
| roadmap | JECHO: for pentesting I dont need compiz. I need a wireless chipset that suports packet injection ;) | 09:45 |
| harvest | Anyone know if the newer USB Startup Disk Creator - is better in Jaunty? | 09:45 |
| Omen | the netbook im waiting for is like one of them gigabyte sliders but with the specs of that UMID M1. I want to dual boot Ubuntu MID and Android on it :P | 09:45 |
| JECHO | roadmap: lol but its nice to have some sweet effects :) | 09:45 |
| Zedde | Flynsarmy: older derivers 177 just make the fan spin upp and down all the time | 09:45 |

| roadmap | JECHO: is yours 802.11b/g or b/g/n ? I've seen some EEE's with 802.11n support on them | 09:46 |
| Morclye | ziroday: Thank you. Will I have GUI working anymore after removing that package? | 09:46 |
| harvest | Has anyone running Jaunty used the " USB Startup Disk Creator " ? | 09:46 |
| JECHO | roadmap: yeah i believe the 101 models support n but mines just b/g | 09:46 |
| vigo | !jaunty | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 09:46 |
| ziroday | Morclye: yes, until you restart your xserver. So make sure you install the new drivers first | 09:46 |
| roadmap | JECHO: :) just curious. | 09:46 |
| roadmap | I've been meaning to get my hands on one of these and figure out if its going to do everything I need. | 09:47 |
| vigo | What is it, three days? | 09:47 |
| JECHO | roadmap: mines not for sale :) haha | 09:47 |
| roadmap | If I buy one its going to be in about two weeks. | 09:47 |
| jbee | vigo: it deleted some files but don't think it corrected the problem... | 09:47 |
| vigo | jbee: WEll we made some headway, that is a start. | 09:47 |
| roadmap | JECHO: would you happen to know the difference between the HE and the HA? | 09:48 |
| Morclye | ziroday: This kind of community support is what keeps me wanting to get used to Ubuntu, thank you again :) | 09:48 |
| Noqq | Can someone help me with installing Ubuntu with Wubi? (Need someone with some knowledge about it) | 09:48 |
| jbee | ill do another fsck later to see if it has any difference! hehe,right! | 09:48 |
| Omen | JECHO: I'm downloading the codecs right now, ill test Hulu tomorrow with a new episode of SouthLAnd. thanks! | 09:48 |
| harvest | roadmap, What are talking about with JECHO a notebook? | 09:48 |
| JECHO | Omen: No problem! Good luck! | 09:48 |
| roadmap | harvest: netbooks, the EEEPC specifically | 09:48 |
| JECHO | harvest yes a netbook | 09:48 |
| vigo | jbee: Is difficult to correct an error when there are four old errors in the way. | 09:49 |
| ziroday | Morclye: ha, I'm sorry your graphics driver isn't working. What card is it? | 09:49 |
| sirMajid | hi I need a strong IDE for c++ in ubuntu? do you know one? | 09:49 |
| roadmap | vigo: sounds like something a software developer would say :( | 09:49 |
| Noqq | Do I need to make a partition on my drive where Windows is installed, when I choose to make a 10gb installment with Wubi on the same drive? (C:\) | 09:49 |
| Omen | i live in a small town, ive only seen one EeePC. i was so excited i almost grabbed it from him because i wanted to play with it | 09:49 |

| harlemdavvey | Slart: nope, i would have preferred using just wget to download the video :( | 10:30 |
| Slart | harlemdavvey: hmm.. let me think for a second.. | 10:31 |
| ompaul | Slart, .. clive .. | 10:31 |
| kklimonda | jbee: it doesn't sound good - I'd backup all data you can and replace it. | 10:31 |
| Slart | ompaul: yes? | 10:31 |
| harlemdavvey | Slart / ompaul: i've downloaded and installed clive... how can i use it? i just have to enter the web page url in which the viedo is contained? | 10:31 |
| ompaul | Slart, in place of youtube-dl | 10:32 |
| jbee | replace the hdd you mean kklimonda? | 10:32 |
| ellar | harlemdavvey: yes | 10:32 |
| ompaul | harlemdavvey, yes | 10:32 |
| Slart | harlemdavvey: I have no idea.. I've never used it myself.. | 10:32 |
| Slart | ompaul: ah.. ok, thanks | 10:32 |
| ellar | harlemdavvey: clive [url] | 10:32 |
| kklimonda | jbee: yeah - Reallocated_Sector_Ct means that disk is getting bad blocks and 2047 is pretty high value | 10:33 |
| harlemdavvey | ellar: you're god! thanks:) | 10:33 |
| ompaul | jbee, visit shop buy new disk install and be hopefully | 10:33 |
| Firefishe | Could someone please tell me what this means: http://rafb.net/p/7ug7Ls47.html | 10:33 |
| jbee | so it's for sure a hardware problem,right? | 10:34 |
| kklimonda | jbee: looks like it - you could also check dmesg for any errors | 10:34 |
| ompaul | Firefishe, it means you type "sudo dpkg --configure -a " cos something got stopped when it should not have been | 10:34 |
| kklimonda | jbee: but i/o during sync and high Reallocated_Sector_Ct rate points to hardware failure | 10:34 |
| jbee | kklimonda: some i always get some i/o errors when unraring files | 10:34 |
| ompaul | jbee, faulty disks do that kind of thing | 10:35 |
| kklimonda | jbee: you shouldn't | 10:35 |
| jbee | ok thanks to both of you kklimonda and ompaul | 10:35 |
| Firefishe | ompaul: I agree. I've been dealing with this issue for the past hour and a half, many reboots, many hard resets. | 10:35 |
| cherva | Can someone help me figure out the command to add a port opening in iptables ? When I add port 22 to firestarted it adds the port with tcp and udp protocols in the INBOUND tab;e but if I add the prort with "iptables -A INBOUND -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" it adds it ,but the port is not opened | 10:36 |
| Firefishe | ompaul: Now, the other problem is what happens when I do: sudo dpkg --configure -a . It has to do with a program called rocksndiamonds I installed; it's sort of a zelda emulator. It's essentially caught in the middle of the process of downloading some non-free game maps, and it's stuck in the middle of the entire process. As a result, my entire package mgmt. system is hanging. | 10:37 |
| ompaul | Firefishe, if you do that in a terminal "ctrl alt F1" and log in there - leave X out of it | 10:37 |
| Firefishe | ompaul: it doesn't matter where I do it. | 10:37 |
| ompaul | Firefishe, sudo apt-get remove --purge rocksndiamonds | 10:37 |
| ompaul | then start that install again | 10:37 |
| Firefishe | ompaul...k, I'll give it a try | 10:38 |
| cherva | firestarter* | 10:38 |
| GreaseMonkey | hello, i have ubuntu 8.10 installed on a compaq presario CQ60-210TU, and was foolish enough to turn wireless off BEFORE installing ubuntu. is there any way to turn it back on again? | 10:39 |
| Slart | harlemdavvey: hmm.. no luck with wget for me.. you managed to make clive do what you wanted? | 10:39 |
| mythman | just installed gnome dock bar from a deb file but cant see it in the menu how do I run it | 10:40 |
| Firefishe | ompaul: It's telling me to run: dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem. dpkg just won't let me *not* finish the bloody downloads. Any way to force the system? | 10:40 |
| harlemdavvey | Slart: i've been able to download the file, yes.. but now i have to convet the file with ffmpeg | 10:40 |
| harlemdavvey | coz i'm not able to use clive so much :) | 10:40 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: I truly doubt switching your wireless on or off would distort the install. | 10:40 |
| ompaul | Firefishe, did you do the delete | 10:40 |
| Morclye | I installed ATI Catalyst 9.4 drivers and most of my previous problems are now gone but new problem has arrived. Videos are working about 1 frame per second, any ideas? | 10:40 |
| GreaseMonkey | jutsu: the wireless isn't being detected | 10:41 |
| Firefishe | ompaul: It won't let me. | 10:41 |
| GreaseMonkey | and pressing the button does zip | 10:41 |
| harlemdavvey | Slart: what are you trying to do with clive? | 10:41 |
| Slart | harlemdavvey: I haven't tried clive.. I only played around with wget | 10:42 |
| GreaseMonkey | lemme have a look at ifconfig | 10:42 |
| GreaseMonkey | ifconfig -a reveals: lo, eth0, pan0 | 10:42 |
| GreaseMonkey | pan0 afaik is bluetooth | 10:42 |
| GreaseMonkey | there should theoretically be an ath0 | 10:42 |
| GreaseMonkey | or something | 10:43 |
| Firefishe | ompaul: I'll do the configure with dpkg, and post the output. | 10:43 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: When you turn your device on/off what does your /var/log/dmesg return? | 10:43 |
| harlemdavvey | Slart: i'm not able to use wget so much.. i always download what i'm not interested in just like html pages and similar stuff so... i don't know..:) | 10:43 |
| GreaseMonkey | [ 1107.075986] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa0060/serio0). | 10:43 |
| GreaseMonkey | [ 1107.075994] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e058 <keycode>' to make it known. | 10:43 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: tail -f "/var/log/dmesg" whilst toggling your device; paste the input at codepad. | 10:43 |
| jutsu | Aha. | 10:43 |
| orionshock | morning all, i've somehow managed to break my login screen / gnome session. It boots into X and then prompts me with a message about the session closing | crashing in under 10 seconds. Im kinda lost. | 10:43 |
| GreaseMonkey | i just do dmesg | tail | 10:43 |
| GreaseMonkey | what keycode should it be? | 10:44 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: People do different things, depending upon orientation; I'm unaware of what keycode it should be, perhaps you should ask in #ubuntu-wireless (I think) | 10:44 |
| Firefishe | ompaul: and while I'm doing it, the entire process is hogging my resources so badly, I can barely switch windows in x | 10:44 |
| GreaseMonkey | nobody else there | 10:44 |
| ompaul | Firefishe, sudo apt-get --force remove package_name | 10:44 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: When did you install? | 10:45 |
| ompaul | Firefishe, you are going to have to insult the interwebs this is something I have not had to do in a loooooong time and I forget | 10:45 |
| GreaseMonkey | jutsu: a few hours ago | 10:45 |
| Jinxed- | is there a command that would swap the names of two files in one command instead of two? | 10:45 |
| GreaseMonkey | and i haven't been on it from then until now | 10:45 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | hi all | 10:45 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: Why don't you 'reinstall' ? | 10:45 |
| GreaseMonkey | jutsu: i see no reason why that would fix it | 10:46 |
| jutsu | This time, circumventing your current predicament by leaving your wireless card alone. | 10:46 |
| GreaseMonkey | and i didn't back up vi$ta <_< | 10:46 |
| jutsu | You just said that you were mucking with your wireless. | 10:46 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | i've a partition that ubuntu mounts from /dev/sdb1, what should I write in the grub conf to add it to the boot list? | 10:46 |
| GreaseMonkey | i didn't accept the license agreement (you can't outright reject it sadly), i just pressed a button | 10:46 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: Why would you need to backup vista in order to reinstall ubuntu | 10:46 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: (hd1,0) | 10:47 |
| GreaseMonkey | jutsu: i thought you meant to reinstall vi$ta, press the stupid button, then reinstall ubuntu | 10:47 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: Please refer to vista, as vista. | 10:47 |
| GreaseMonkey | if you mean just reinstall ubuntu, i believe that would be of no help whatsoever. | 10:47 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: You installed ubuntu, and toggled the wireless switch? | 10:48 |
| jutsu | Whilst it was installing? | 10:48 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: ok thanks, I already tried it, and after I choose that it writes "Starting up" and there it stays.... forever :D (it is a win partition, but it shouldn't matter) | 10:48 |
| Lartza_ | Easiest way to turn server into graphical would be to install xubuntu-desktop? (xubuntu because it's more lightweight) | 10:48 |
| GreaseMonkey | no, i pressed the wireless switch in vista, then tried several different unices to no avail (even ubuntu 8.04), until i read somewhere that 8.10 works on this | 10:48 |
| jutsu | (I can't make any sense of this.) | 10:48 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and the output of fdisk -l please | 10:48 |
| Lartza_ | Also should the kernel be changed or does it change auotmatically? | 10:48 |
| jutsu | Lartza_: Depends on your preference. | 10:48 |
| PROject-Emerald | Um, right now I'm trying to install an ATI driver, and it says to do "sudo sh file:///home/******/Desktop/atidriver.run" but it keeps telling me "You need to run this as super-user" | 10:48 |
| jutsu | Lartza_: Why would your kernel need to be changed? | 10:49 |
| Jinxed- | is there a command that would swap the names of two files in one command instead of two? So like If I had files foo and bar, the original foo becomes bar and vise versa? | 10:49 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: of course, just one moment | 10:49 |
| Lartza_ | jutsu: Server uses the server kernel | 10:49 |
| PROject-Emerald | And I have sudo, so it should be done as a super user, correct? | 10:49 |
| jutsu | Jinxed-: "mv foo tmp;mv bar foo;mv tmp bar" | 10:49 |
| ziroday | PROject-Emerald: take away the file:// | 10:49 |
| jutsu | Jinxed-: might work anyway ;) | 10:49 |
| Lartza_ | Now I have 2.6.27-11-server in use | 10:49 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: thanks, there's no rush :) | 10:49 |
| PROject-Emerald | well I jsut coped that | 10:49 |
| PROject-Emerald | I do sudo sh home/**/desktop/atidriver.run | 10:50 |
| Lartza_ | So either apt-get xubuntu-desktop or apt-get xorg and then install like enlightenment from source? | 10:50 |
| jutsu | Lartza_: If say, you used gnome; "sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop" should install all the dependencies it requires, in order to run. | 10:50 |
| jutsu | Lartza_: Thusly, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, ought to do the same. | 10:50 |
| mathewedison | Hey guys | 10:51 |
| Lartza_ | But I'm just wondering how hard it would be to install, say fluxbox or enlgithenment... | 10:51 |
| Lartza_ | SOme configuration is propably needed | 10:51 |
| jutsu | Lartza_: Well, it's a very simple process, you enter "sudo apt-get install file", and apt installs it for you. | 10:51 |
| Lartza_ | jutsu: But enlightenment is old on the repo | 10:51 |
| GreaseMonkey | wait, i'm supposed to have a wifi0 | 10:51 |
| jutsu | Post-configuration is pretty simple. | 10:51 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m20134763 | 10:51 |
| Lartza_ | fluxbox would automatically install I guess | 10:51 |
| jutsu | You aren't asking about enlightenment, you're asking about xubuntu. | 10:51 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: thanks, gimme a sec | 10:52 |
| Lartza_ | WEll not necessarily | 10:52 |
| jutsu | Ugh. | 10:52 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | zined: thank You :P | 10:52 |
| Lartza_ | Ok I am thinking easiest would be the xubuntu-desktop thourg apt-get | 10:52 |
| cherva | Can someone help me figure out the command to add a port opening in iptables ? When I add port 22 to firestarter it adds the port in the INBOUND table but if I add the prort with "iptables -A INBOUND -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" it adds it ,but the port is not opened | 10:52 |
| jutsu | GreaseMonkey: do you have wireless-tools installed? I'm not sure about the whole wifi crap. | 10:52 |
| Petengy | hi to all | 10:52 |
| JCM3000 | Morning all. Anyone an expert on python-coherence? No-one home on #coherence and it's driving me crazy trying to get it working. | 10:53 |
| GreaseMonkey | yep | 10:53 |
| GreaseMonkey | wireless-tools is installed | 10:53 |
| Lartza_ | 1517Mb for xubuntu! :O | 10:53 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: hmm, that all looks correct. What's on sdb5? | 10:53 |
| Petengy | do u know if exist a way to obtain a .psd files thumbnail preview in nautilus??? | 10:53 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: and can I have your full menu.lst please | 10:54 |
| majnoon | !ot | 10:54 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 10:54 |
| Lartza_ | Petengy: Even windwos doesn't do that | 10:54 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: an other installation but I don;t need to boot with it now, i'd like to boot with the sdb1, i'll pastebine it right now, but it's a little messy :P | 10:54 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: no problem, just thinking they're might be something conflicting above | 10:54 |
| mathewedison | Guys I have a password on my network which is 5letters and 4 numbers. When I set the wireless-key in etc/network/interfaces it says that the pass is an invalid input. It works without pass and I'm sure it's the right pass I input. I use WPA-PSK. | 10:54 |
| Noqq | Is it true I really don't need a virusscan on Ubuntu? Maybe lame question.. but just wanna be sure. | 10:55 |
| ziroday | mathewedison: why are you editing /etc/network/interfaces? | 10:55 |
| Petengy | lartza: http://hwrms.com/blog/?p=37 | 10:55 |
| ziroday | !virus | Noqq | 10:55 |
| ubottu | Noqq: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 10:55 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m75c0ecef | 10:55 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: thanks | 10:56 |
| mathewedison | I'm using the server edition and that's the only way I could find to connect to the internet with wireless. | 10:56 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: again thank You :P | 10:56 |
| Petengy | do u know if exist a way to obtain a .psd files thumbnail preview in nautilus??? I'm asking for ubuntu obviously | 10:56 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: hmm line 14 should read default saved but I doubt thats the issue | 10:56 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: ah wait, I understand why now :) | 10:57 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: do you mean "savedefault" instead of "default 0" ? | 10:58 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: do all the rest work? Does W2? | 10:58 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: oh, let me know :P | 10:58 |
| PROject-Emerald | so, I'm trying to install ATI drivers right now, and it tells me to do sh /home/***/Desktop/ati.run | 10:58 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: of course not :P | 10:58 |
| GreaseMonkey | ok, i'm going to go into the bios | 10:58 |
| ziroday | a-n-d-r-e-a: wait, even the ubuntu ones don't work? | 10:58 |
| GreaseMonkey | which means i'll reboot now | 10:58 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: I use the first to boot | 10:58 |
| PROject-Emerald | But it tells me to do it in super-user, which I did. so I did sudo sh home/***/desktop/ati.run | 10:58 |
| ziroday | PROject-Emerald: *** is your username | 10:58 |
| PROject-Emerald | no | 10:58 |
| Ranakah` | PROject-Emerald sudo sh blabalballabatidriver.run | 10:58 |
| Ranakah` | :) | 10:59 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: it works, (hd1, 1) | 10:59 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: ops sorry | 10:59 |
| a-n-d-r-e-a | ziroday: (hd1,1) say it dows not exists, i think it is right :P | 10:59 |
| DRaGoNx | Anyone made microphone works in teamspeak ? (9.04) | 10:59 |

| vincenzo_ml | Hi all, I want to reinstall a testing system which is "deadly broken". I have access to the filesystem and would like to reinstall the same packages after reinstalling the base system. If I had synaptic I could save the "selections". How can I do that by accessing the dpkg status file or something else on the old system? | 11:06 |
| PROject-Emerald | and what about it? it's showing me framerates int he 700s | 11:06 |

| USER_ | #mousehunt | 11:08 |
| Jinxed- | Is there a way to swap the names of two files in one command? (without 3 moves) | 11:08 |
| kklimonda | vincenzo_ml: do something like this: dpkg --root <old mounted fs> -l |grep ii > installed_packages | 11:08 |
| kklimonda | vincenzo_ml: save installed_packages somewhere and after reinstall you can use it to install them | 11:08 |
| on5sl | vincenzo_ml: can't download this (link) it means in english..see the 404 beneath it. | 11:08 |
| shay26 | what is the right command (fsck) for checking bad sectors ? if there are bad sectors does it possible to mark them so the system will not write data on thos sectors ? | 11:09 |

| PROject-Emerald | koshari: what about gxgears? it's giving me my FPS in a terminal | 11:09 |
| kklimonda | vincenzo_ml: like that: ``apt-get install `cat installed_packages|cut -d' ' -f3`'' | 11:09 |
| koshari | PROject-Emerald obviousely your gpu is working fine then | 11:09 |
| yadu_ | i want to try this "root@desktop:~# sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=0 " | 11:09 |
| PROject-Emerald | Well if it was obvious I wouldn't be asking | 11:09 |
| yadu_ | but i dont know how to turn it back on.....any idea??? | 11:09 |
| vincenzo_ml | on5sl: did you try refreshing the lists (e.g. apt-get update)? | 11:09 |
| vincenzo_ml | kklimonda: thanks | 11:09 |
| kklimonda | vincenzo_ml: the only drawback is that you set all packages as "installed manually" and you can't use apt-get autoremove to remove dependencies later. | 11:10 |
| koshari | PROject-Emerald do you suspect your gpu isnt working properly? | 11:10 |
| on5sl | vincenzo_ml: yes, but no progress either..the same error's as in the gui version | 11:10 |
| Hassanakevazir | GreaseMonkey, It seems your card is not going to work with interpid | 11:10 |
| vincenzo_ml | on5sl change mirror then! :) | 11:10 |
| PROject-Emerald | No, I was just wondering because I'm currently installing Counter-Strike Source and I don't want to waste my time | 11:10 |
| on5sl | vincenzo_ml: it seems there is something wrong with the mirrors? | 11:10 |
| vincenzo_ml | on5sl: IMHO your mirror downloaded the lists before the debs | 11:11 |
| vincenzo_ml | wait a bit and retry | 11:11 |
| on5sl | vincenzo_ml: if i wait a couple of days it will work right? | 11:11 |
| on5sl | vincenzo_ml: ok i'llw ait | 11:11 |
| GreaseMonkey | i have a feeling that the card is supported but will not work due to my own mistake. | 11:11 |
| yadu_ | PROject-Emerald, does cs work on ubuntu over wine??? | 11:11 |
| vincenzo_ml | kklimonda: do you know where the "manually installed" status is saved? | 11:11 |
| PROject-Emerald | Yeah | 11:11 |
| vincenzo_ml | kklimonda: not that I care too much :) | 11:11 |
| PROject-Emerald | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3731 | 11:11 |
| vincenzo_ml | kklimonda: that'd be an improvement: I could save only the list of manually installed ones | 11:12 |
| yadu_ | PROject-Emerald, thanx.... | 11:12 |
| PROject-Emerald | np | 11:12 |
| kklimonda | vincenzo_ml: unfortunately I have no idea - it must be in dpkg database but I don't know how to get it.. | 11:12 |
| koshari | PROject-Emerald huh i last played CS on xbox... | 11:13 |
| Hassanakevazir | GreaseMonkey, take a look at search results for : ubuntu RTL8101E/RTL8102E . did the card ever work on interpid? | 11:13 |

| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 11:19 |
| vincenzo_ml | did you all ever hear about a "ubuntu reinstalling system"? I think that saving /etc/apt and the installed packages would work very well | 11:19 |
| Slart | njsf_: you might also want to check with the people in the jaunty support channel | 11:20 |
| vincenzo_ml | and maybe asking the user what to do with /usr/local and with manually modified config files | 11:20 |
| vincenzo_ml | we have all the info to re-do an install | 11:20 |
| Morclye | How will I enable the following? "R600 cards (X1xxx, HD series, and newer) in particular will need TexturedVideo enabled in Xorg.conf (rather than the traditional VideoOverlay) in order to support Xv accelerated video playback." | 11:20 |
| vincenzo_ml | ubiquity could optionally use such a "backup" tarball and restore/replicate a system | 11:20 |

| usbnotbooting | Hello everyone. I just installed Jaunty Jackelope onto an external usb disk with a Dell Inspiron 5100 with 512MB. grub install didn't seem to encounter errors, but when I rebooted the grub gave error 21 | 11:21 |
| Nyla | hello all, i have a problem with apt-get. one time a package failed to install because it wouldn't overwrite the version i compiled from source, which is good, but now every time i install something totally different it keeps trying. how do i make it forget about it? | 11:22 |

| gh0stpirate | Hello all,semi simple quick question/answer here, How do i run a script that ive written after a command in the terminal is done? Rundown: I've written a simple script that will update my status on twitter from CLI (clitwit), i say want to copy a directory from my pc to a external drive, once its done, id like it to run my proggy to tell me when its done. I think it has somthing to do with "piping"? i don't remember. anywho, the | 11:31 |
| gh0stpirate | command i have to run after its done is:*** clitwit "Copying Done" *** any help would be appreciated | 11:31 |
| Slart | gh0stpirate: try cmd1; cmd2 | 11:32 |
| rock | helllo | 11:32 |
| Slart | gh0stpirate: it will run the two commands after each other | 11:32 |
| jutsu | Alternately, you can use '&&'. | 11:33 |
| gh0stpirate | Slart, what would be the proper syntax for that command? | 11:33 |
| Slart | gh0stpirate: I usually use it like this ./somethingthattakesquiteawhile.sh ; beep | 11:33 |
| rakudave | gh0stpirate: or to ensure that the prog only runs if the cp had no errors: cp a b && your_prog | 11:33 |
| Slart | gh0stpirate: just put a semi-colon between the two commands | 11:33 |
| jutsu | ... | 11:34 |
| gh0stpirate | so like, cp /xx/xxx yy/yyy/yyy && clitwit "Copying Done" | 11:34 |
| Slart | gh0stpirate: or a & .. or a | .. & means "run if the previous command returns 0", | means "run if previous command returns something other than 0" | 11:34 |
| PROject-Emerald | Are there any online guides like "LEarn Terminal in 21 days" ? | 11:34 |
| Slart | gh0stpirate: sorry.. && and || | 11:34 |
| unikon | seems that shipit.ubuntu.com allows 10 free cds | 11:34 |
| jutsu | man bash. | 11:35 |
| Slart | gh0stpirate: that looks good to me | 11:35 |
| clooluss | All my compiz settings have disappeared! And now I can't get them back! I can't even make changes in CCSM! help! | 11:35 |
| kklimonda | unick: is it possible to order 64 bit desktop cds? | 11:35 |

| PROject-Emerald | gh0stpirate: What program? | 11:37 |
| gh0stpirate | a simple CLI twitter status updater | 11:37 |
| PROject-Emerald | ahh | 11:38 |
| gh0stpirate | "\clitwit" | 11:38 |
| clooluss | does anyone know why CCSM might have decided it won't lt me make any changes in there? I have set visual effects to "extra" and my gfx card and drivers are all OK. | 11:38 |
| starcannon | PROject-Emerald here's a primer/crash course, it will get you asking the right questions to progress further me thinks: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal and if its bash scripting your interested in theres this: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ one or both of those should have you well on your way to CLi wizardliness | 11:39 |
| PROject-Emerald | starcannon: Thanks SO much :) | 11:39 |
| starcannon | anytime | 11:39 |
| SATE | hi all | 11:40 |
| nadan | starcannon, thanks for the bash scripting page... been wanting to look into that. | 11:40 |
| starcannon | nadan I am still an egg myself, but the bit of scripting I have done I learned from there, and of course theres man pages for almost everything (except my coffee maker) | 11:41 |
| nadan | lol | 11:41 |
| gh0stpirate | Excellent, Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions, the simple && was all i needed, it succeeded! | 11:42 |
| gh0stpirate | This is friggin cool now! i can start rsync/backing up my media upstairs, and hang out downstairs with my roomates, and get an update on my cell phone when its all done! | 11:43 |
| ziroday | gh0stpirate: how? | 11:44 |
| ziroday | gh0stpirate: oh through twitter :) | 11:44 |
| nadan | through twitter? | 11:44 |
| gh0stpirate | yes :) and its ultimate geeksauce :) | 11:44 |
| gh0stpirate | the possibilities are limitless considering i have an SSH client on my cell phone as well xD | 11:45 |
| nadan | how through twitter? | 11:45 |
| gh0stpirate | i wrote a simple program that will update your status through the commandline | 11:45 |
| c4pt | does anyone know the ram limit on ubuntu server kernel? | 11:46 |
| ziroday | c4pt: 64, or 32bit? | 11:46 |
| nadan | cool will keep the idea in mind. | 11:46 |
| gh0stpirate | its pretty cool :) i reccommend | 11:46 |
| c4pt | ziroday: 32bit server kernel | 11:46 |
| c4pt | ziroday: isnt there PAE support with it to allow 64GB of ram? | 11:46 |
| ziroday | c4pt: err 8GB I believe, whatever PAE allows up to | 11:46 |
| Slart | c4pt: I think 32 bits uses PAE.. soo.. a lot more than you'll ever see in a home server =) | 11:47 |
| mrwes | c4pt, 128mb ram | 11:47 |
| ziroday | c4pt: right, well 64GB :) | 11:47 |
| gh0stpirate | lol | 11:47 |
| Slart | mrwes: 128mb? wrong century? | 11:47 |
| c4pt | lol @ wrong century | 11:47 |
| Slart | mrwes: or you meant downwards? =) | 11:47 |
| c4pt | ziroday: as long as it supports 16gb im happy | 11:47 |
| mrwes | min | 11:47 |
| mrwes | :) | 11:47 |
| c4pt | ziroday: this board will only allow 16gb max | 11:47 |
| ziroday | c4pt: that should be fine, if you're worried use 64bit | 11:48 |
| jagadeesh | I have installed ubuntu 9.04 with gnome as default window manager. is there any way I can switch to kubuntu without going for reinstall | 11:48 |
| Slart | wikipedia says PAE allows for up tio 64GB memory | 11:48 |
| c4pt | ziroday: i dont want to use amd64 because of flash support (flash keeps breaking) and i want to use other programs that dont seem to work right on amd64 | 11:48 |
| ziroday | jagadeesh: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and jaunty help in #ubuntu+1 | 11:48 |
| Slart | jagadeesh: you can install kde-desktop and select KDE session before logging in | 11:49 |
| c4pt | ziroday: so i386 is fine as long as i have room to grow with maximum ram | 11:49 |
| jagadeesh | thanks ziroday | 11:49 |
| Slart | jagadeesh: oops.. sorry.. kubuntu-desktop.. not kde-desktop | 11:49 |
| jagadeesh | Slart: I did that. but I do not any applets | 11:49 |
| Slart | jagadeesh: well.. then I think you might want to go to the support channel for jaunty, #ubuntu+1, and ask them about it | 11:50 |
| lsh | hello everybody | 11:50 |
| jagadeesh | Slart: ok. will do that | 11:50 |

| ubottu | sobersabre: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 12:16 |
| dev_coffee | my www-data group is gid 33, user groups start at gid 1000 | 12:16 |
| sobersabre | Slart: I haven't finished. | 12:16 |
| sobersabre | the question is: the bug is known, and documented. | 12:17 |
| captainc1 | dev_coffee: thanks | 12:17 |
| sobersabre | how can I know when it is going to be resolved ? | 12:17 |
| dev_coffee | np :) | 12:17 |
| sobersabre | it even seems to be trivial to fix, but I don' | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sobersabre: then add that you are experiencing it too and watch the bug | 12:17 |
| rock | my os responds very slowly | 12:17 |
| mint3 | what is your pc spec? | 12:18 |
| sobersabre | ActionParsnip: I don't care if I watch it or it watches me, I want to know when can I expect the solution ? | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | rock: have you got full updates? have you installed video drivers? | 12:18 |
| Brucevdk | Siegfried: what's the bug #? | 12:18 |
| sobersabre | how can I determine when it is going to be resolved ? | 12:18 |
| Brucevdk | ehh sorry Siegfried I meant sobersabre | 12:18 |
| mint3 | sobersabre, did you file the bug ? | 12:18 |
| Brucevdk | sobersabre: what is the bug #? | 12:18 |
| Slart | sobersabre: I don't think you can know..... unless you fix it yourself. Critical stuff is fixed rather quickly in my experience | 12:18 |
| rock | yes i get full update | 12:18 |
| sobersabre | Brucevdk: moment. | 12:18 |
| rock | i have install video drivers also | 12:19 |
| sobersabre | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subversion/+bug/294648 | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sobersabre: you can submit a bugfix yourself otherwise you gotta hangfire while it gets fixed. I dont think theres a way to know when | 12:19 |
| sobersabre | ActionParsnip: I'll ping the maintainer then... the thing is I don't want to go into the ping pong with maintainer :( | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | rock: ok is the whole system slow or is it just one app? what cpu speed, ram amount, video card do you have | 12:19 |
| mint3 | rock, what is your machine spec ? | 12:19 |
| sobersabre | the problem is that the default debian package links to wrong neon library | 12:19 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: I installed nvidia driver 177 before, I shoul keep the command `install nvidia-glx-180` | 12:20 |
| sobersabre | so all there's to do is to repackage without linkage to libneon-gnutls | 12:20 |
| rock | whole sys is slow ram-2gb ddr1 | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: I run a 6150 256Mb onboard and use the 180 driver | 12:20 |
| mint3 | as you pointed, it is a trivial problem sobersabre . I am sure the dev team are dealing with more "urgent" issues at the moment. | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rock: cpu speed? gfx card? | 12:21 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: ok no problem | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: try it, you can always uninstall it | 12:21 |
| sobersabre | hmm I can see now there are various solutions to the problem posted... I wonder how come it didn't get to jaunty :( | 12:21 |
| mint3 | sobersabre, maybe they need pointing out. Try the bug system. I suppose the more persistant you are the more chance of response you would expect. | 12:22 |
| Ned2 | Hello I'm trying to install virtualbox on ubuntu 81.0. When I tried to add the repository, I got 'W: GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available' | 12:22 |
| Ned2 | ^ubuntu 8.10 | 12:22 |
| mint3 | rock - What processor you got? | 12:23 |
| DASPRiD | ubuntu 81.0... wonder when that'll come out :D | 12:23 |
| rock | intel | 12:23 |
| vigo | Ned2: Did you update and upgrade the sources.list or dpkg? | 12:23 |
| DASPRiD | will surely be the most used OS ;) | 12:23 |
| rock | yes | 12:23 |
| mint3 | rock, is it an intel i7 or a pentium 233 ? | 12:23 |
| rock | inteli7 | 12:24 |
| shay26 | Hello , i checked my HDD from bad sectors using the flowing command : fsck -pcfv /dev/sda5 , the output shown 11 bad blocks , does it mean the system will now not used this blocks for writing data ? | 12:24 |
| mint3 | err and it uses ddr 1 ? | 12:24 |
| mint3 | i7 and ddr 1 ? Can't be right matey. | 12:24 |
| rock | i uses ddr1 rm | 12:24 |
| Ned2 | vigo I think so...I was trying to add the repository with Software Sources and I clicked on reload | 12:25 |
| Ned2 | I think that's how you do it | 12:25 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: it's requesting a GPG key | 12:25 |
| vigo | Ned2: That is mostly Terminal stuff. let me fetch a page on it. | 12:25 |
| mint3 | yeah do it via sudo apt-get install | 12:26 |
| kklimonda | shay26: afair you have to format partition with some argument | 12:26 |
| PROject-Emerald | What's some fun stuff to do on Linux or what are some things to do on a fresh Ubuntu install? | 12:26 |
| rock | i uses intel pentium rd cpu | 12:26 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: see their instructions here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads (below "or combine downloading and registering") | 12:26 |
| kklimonda | shay26: or not | 12:27 |
| mint3 | PROject-Emerald, get yourself acquainted to it first. | 12:27 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: after sudo nvidia.xconfig I get this warnings WARNING: No Layout specified, constructing implicit layout section using screen "Default Screen". WARNING: Unable to find CorePointer in X configuration; attempting to add new CorePointer section. WARNING: The CorePointer device was not specified explicitly in the layout; using the first mouse device. WARNING: Unable to find CoreKeyboard in X configura | 12:27 |

| ActionParsnip | rock: try: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i Mhz | 12:27 |
| bidossessi | hi folks | 12:27 |
| shay26 | kklimonda: which argument ? where i can read doc.. about ? | 12:27 |
| kklimonda | shay26: using fsck with -c should mark blocks as bad and prevent system from saving to them | 12:27 |
| shay26 | ok | 12:27 |
| mint3 | !paste | studentz | 12:27 |
| ubottu | studentz: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 12:27 |
| shay26 | kklimonda: thanks | 12:27 |
| bidossessi | i need to install python 2.6 on intrepid. is it possible? | 12:27 |
| lirvan | helo | 12:27 |
| studentz | sorry | 12:27 |
| PROject-Emerald | Well, that's what I mean. I want to become acquainted to Linux but reading through hours of guides isn't really my thing. | 12:28 |
| ugliefrog | where can i get codecs for toem....like xvid and such | 12:28 |
| mint3 | PROject-Emerald, what do you want to do with it? | 12:28 |
| rock | does mac os is best than abuntu | 12:28 |
| mint3 | ugliefrog, just use vlc, seems to have all the plugins. | 12:28 |
| x_eagle | haw can i use the conio.h library because i need (gotoxy(,) & other function | 12:28 |
| lirvan | hello | 12:28 |
| shell_user | hello | 12:28 |
| bartocc | hi | 12:28 |
| shay26 | kklimonda: my friend told me there is some tool named "hdd regenerator" that in 70% cases can fix bad blocks , do u recommend of using this tool ? or just leave it like this marked ? | 12:28 |
| Ned2 | Brucevdk, that's the site where I got the repository that I tried to add to software sources...it worked the previous times I installed virtualbox...I don't know why it's working now | 12:28 |
| bartocc | how can I change my $PATH variable for the root user ? | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: here's mine: http://pastebin.com/f3afefa28 | 12:28 |
| bidossessi | i need to install python 2.6 on intrepid. is it possible? google is not very helpful as to my chances | 12:28 |
| bartocc | I usually do it in .bashrc for normal users | 12:28 |
| Ned2 | why it's not working now I meant | 12:29 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: well, did you add the key? | 12:29 |
| bartocc | but what about root ? | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rock: best is an opinion | 12:29 |
| mint3 | shay26, anything to do with bad sectors can be dodgy. I would think twice. | 12:29 |
| PROject-Emerald | Well, I'm sick of Windows to be honest. It's not fresh and fun anymore. I want to learn Terminal so I can at least pretend I know what I'm doing. | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | x_eagle: install build-essential | 12:29 |
| vigo | Ned2: here,maybe: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html | 12:29 |
| shell_user | hey can explane how to patch zydas1211b or where to get drivers for good handshake and injection please hlelp or give me aircrack-ng irc server name | 12:29 |
| mint3 | PROject-Emerald, good stuff. You ought to stay around here, on this channel, and read what others are doing and maybe try a few new things. | 12:29 |
| Ned2 | Brucevdk, I'm not sure but I thought maybe that's the way to add the key because it worked before | 12:29 |
| PROject-Emerald | :) Okay | 12:30 |
| PROject-Emerald | Uptime: 3 hours and 15 minutes | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bartocc: you dont need to worry about root, you never need it | 12:30 |
| shay26 | mint3: thanks | 12:30 |
| Ned2 | vigo thanks I'll check it out | 12:30 |
| netbugss | hi | 12:30 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: "public key not available" tells me that the key is well.. not available not invalid. Is it listed in System -> Software Sources -> Authentication? | 12:30 |
| PROject-Emerald | Also, just wondering; Now that I switched to Linux learning VB6/dot net is out... are there any languages I can learn on this platform? | 12:30 |
| mint3 | PROject-Emerald, the possibilities are vast. Ubuntu is a good alternative to windows | 12:30 |
| rock | how can i uses emac22 | 12:30 |
| bartocc | ActionParsnip: I need root to know the correct location of the "ruby" program | 12:30 |
| vigo | Ned2: If that is not the right one, I will keep searching for more ewxacting one | 12:30 |
| PROject-Emerald | so I've heard :) | 12:30 |
| Slart | PROject-Emerald: I would suggesting something like python.. or take a look at mono, the linux implementation of .net | 12:31 |
| netbugss | how to upgrade Ubuntu 5 plz help me | 12:31 |
| bartocc | if I don't prepend the path with the correct dir, the wrong "ruby" is used when I do "sudo ruby ..." | 12:31 |
| PROject-Emerald | Are there any languages as simple as VB6? Like, point cick drag doubleclick and type? | 12:31 |
| mint3 | netbook-one, you can upgrade to intrepid. Or wait a few days till Jaunty is out. | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | bartocc: anything root can do, you can do. Just use sudo or gksudo in front of the command | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | bartocc: or run sudo -i and you will have ineractive sudo shell | 12:32 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip : here is mine that looks Ok for you http://pastebin.com/m66390e81 | 12:32 |
| rock | when i start kiso it does not respond message seen that please start first in root | 12:32 |
| lirvan | hello.i downloaded the ubuntu 8.10 iso image.i tried to burn it to a dvd using nero. nero refused to burn said it that it can be burned to a cd only.the disk in teh drive is dvd r it said.i have TSSTcorp CDDVD DH-S223F. so whats wrong. can i not use a dvd. do i ahve to get a cd.pls tell | 12:32 |
| Ned2 | Brucevdk, if I'm supposed to see the line I added to in Authentication, no I don't see it there...I only see it in Third-Party Software where I added it | 12:32 |
| bartocc | ActionParsnip: right, but "which ruby" => "/a/very/long/path/ruby", and "sudo which ruby" => "/usr/bin/rub" | 12:33 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: I should restart my box right now? | 12:33 |
| mint3 | lirvan, you can simply download the live CD | 12:33 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: did you do the: wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 12:33 |
| mint3 | Much easier process and you can simply boot off of it. | 12:33 |
| bartocc | which means when I "sudo ruby ...", I don't use the same ruby as "ruby ..." | 12:33 |
| netbook-one | thanks, i wait a few days! | 12:33 |
| jimmyyeah | Hi everyone. What would be the easiest way to share home server files to windows xp at my work? | 12:33 |
| bartocc | that's why I'd like root to use the correct path | 12:33 |
| mint3 | !jaunty | netbook-one in the meantime | 12:33 |
| ubottu | netbook-one in the meantime: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 12:33 |
| Slart | jimmyyeah: samba with a very restrictive firewall.. possibly some other security measures as well | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: should be ok | 12:34 |
| DASPRiD | jimmyyeah, ftp i'd guess | 12:34 |
| DASPRiD | or simply sftp | 12:34 |
| jimmyyeah | so i should'nt stuff around with vpns and stuff... | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmyyeah: i suggest samba | 12:34 |
| Ned2 | Brucevdk, no I haven't...do I type that line exactly like that or do I add the repository at the end of that line? | 12:34 |
| DASPRiD | ActionParsnip, samba via internet? nah | 12:34 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: thanks see you in a while hopefully | 12:34 |
| Slart | jimmyyeah: come to think of it.. I think something other than samba would be better over the wild internet | 12:34 |
| mint3 | jimmyyeah, google "samba" | 12:34 |
| DASPRiD | sftp is fine as it encrypts the connection on its own | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | DASPRiD: oh over wan, no way | 12:34 |
| jimmyyeah | smb is fine over a home network | 12:35 |
| mint3 | !samba | jimmyyeah | 12:35 |
| ubottu | jimmyyeah: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 12:35 |
| jimmyyeah | I'm a little dubious about using it over the net | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmyyeah: run sshd and you can use scp to transfer | 12:35 |
| mint3 | SSh should be safe and secure imo. | 12:35 |
| evilbasta | ebra.no-ip.com | 12:35 |
| kholerabbi | can I order alternate cds in shipit? | 12:35 |
| Slart | !shipit | 12:35 |
| ubottu | shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Intrepid (8.10) CDs | 12:35 |
| grawity | SSH, with WinSCP for file transfer = :D | 12:36 |
| jimmyyeah | winSCP | 12:36 |
| jimmyyeah | gotcha | 12:36 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: it seems you don't understand. Here's how repositories work: repositories are pools of packages you can install, these packages are signed with GPG keys so you can be sure about the validity. When you add a repository you need to add it (that is the line starting with deb) but you also need to import the key so that you can verify whether the packages are valid. | 12:36 |
| linuxnoob2009 | is there a way to make it so linux cant see my intel HD audio at all? it doesnt work and theres no way to fix it that ive been able to find | 12:36 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: so yes, you need to execute that line on the command line or add the key through the GUI. | 12:36 |
| mint3 | linuxnoob2009, whats your sound card make? | 12:36 |
| DASPRiD | linuxnoob2009, disable it in bios | 12:36 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: but it should be nowhere near the line starting with deb, since that's something entirely else | 12:36 |
| vigo | Slart: What about GNUnet? | 12:36 |
| linuxnoob2009 | its a laptop i cant disable it in the bios | 12:36 |
| linuxnoob2009 | mint3: its the 82801I (ICH9 family) rev 03 | 12:37 |
| Slart | vigo: GNUnet? (googling).. | 12:37 |
| vigo | Slart: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnunet/ | 12:37 |
| mint3 | linuxnoob2009, have you updated to the latest driver? | 12:37 |
| mint3 | linuxnoob2009, Try googling the manufacturer and find out if they do have linux supported drivers. | 12:37 |
| linuxnoob2009 | mint3: intel has no drivers for linux, its part of alsa and i have the latest version | 12:37 |
| linuxnoob2009 | alsa SEES the chip | 12:38 |
| linuxnoob2009 | it just doesnt WORK | 12:38 |
| Slart | vigo: for sharing files with the office XP computer? possible.. I've never used GNUnet.. but from the site it sounds promising | 12:38 |
| Raphi974 | Is there a way to import a .ics calendar file in Claws-Mail via the vCalendar plugin ? I only find export :( | 12:38 |
| n4h0j | Every time my computer loads anything, my speakers make noise. This problem was not in Windows 7 (I installed windows to check if it did and confirmed it did not, then reinstalled Linux and it was back). How on earth can this be related to software? Any idea? | 12:38 |
| vigo | Slart: I saw a few things on GNU/GPL that are rivals or whatever to the .NET framework. | 12:38 |
| bidossessi | i need to install python 2.6 on intrepid. is it possible? google is not very helpful as to my chances | 12:39 |
| mint3 | !python | bidossessi | 12:39 |
| ubottu | bidossessi: python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org | 12:39 |
| Ned2 | Brucevdk, thanks for the info | 12:39 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: np | 12:39 |
| linuxnoob2009 | does anyone know how to disable the intel sound from within linux itself? | 12:39 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: well, you could disable the speaker? | 12:39 |
| linuxnoob2009 | it cant be disabled in my laptops bios, and i need apps to not even know its there | 12:39 |
| bidossessi | mint3, meaning i have to compile? | 12:39 |
| Raphi974 | Is there a way to import a .ics calendar file in Claws-Mail via the vCalendar plugin ? I only find export :( | 12:39 |
| Slart | vigo: I don't think GNUnet is an alternative to microsofts .net | 12:40 |
| n4h0j | Brucevdk: well, I kinda like to have sound. =) | 12:40 |
| Ned2 | Brucevdk, oh wait...I was wondering how was I able to get virtualbox to work before without adding the GPG...unless I somehow did it without realizing? | 12:40 |
| mint3 | bidossessi, try using stbaptics | 12:40 |
| mint3 | synaptics even. | 12:40 |
| smesta | Hello #ubuntu! I installed mac4lin theme in ubuntu 8.10. But i did not like the theme so i changed theme, BUT the quit, maximize and the minimize button is still on the left side? How can i change them back to the left site? | 12:41 |
| Brucevdk | Ned2: maybe apt ignored the key, it's not required perse to install | 12:41 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: I thought you were referring to the internal pc speaker? | 12:41 |
| bidossessi | mint3, 2.6 is not available in synaptic | 12:41 |
| Slart | Raphi974: if we didn't know a minute ago I don't think we've gotten any wiser by now.. try waiting at least 20 minutes before repeating your question.. use the time to search the forums | 12:41 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: but I guess not, so what kind of noise are your speakers making? | 12:41 |
| mint3 | bidossessi, - i upgraded mine via update manager | 12:41 |
| vigo | Slart: http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/danger.html <<<my bad,,,that one | 12:41 |
| Ned2 | Brucevdk, I see | 12:41 |
| Raphi974 | Slart, i'm searching for, maybe 4 hours now... | 12:41 |
| n4h0j | Brucevdk: kind of hard to explain, not english speaking... but it's like the sound your TV makes when there is no signal | 12:42 |
| n4h0j | Brucevdk: I am sure there is a good word for it | 12:42 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: heh, like bzzzzzz? | 12:42 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: or beeeeep? | 12:42 |
| Slart | Raphi974: then perhaps there isn't a way to do it.. still it doesn't justify spamming this channel with requests for help | 12:42 |
| n4h0j | Brucevdk: hehe, yea | 12:42 |
| n4h0j | bzzzvavdsxzzx | 12:42 |
| Slart | Brucevdk: static? | 12:42 |
| bidossessi | mint3, using the standard repositories or did you add a special one for python? | 12:42 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: and this happens exactly when during startup? | 12:43 |
| Raphi974 | Slart, i'm not spamming.... 2 asks ... it's not spam | 12:43 |
| PROject-Emerald | n4h0j: Yep. bzzzvavdsxzzx is a noise. -,- | 12:43 |
| PetoKraus | hi guys. First off, i'm not using ubuntu, but my friend is. Apparently, he upgraded his system, and the kernel does not boot. How can he revert easily to older kernel? Does ubuntu store older kernels? How do you access grub kernel menu? | 12:43 |
| PROject-Emerald | Raphi974: One is more than enough. If someone sees it and they know they'll respond as such. | 12:43 |
| Spawnzizzle | Hey | 12:43 |
| n4h0j | Brucevdk: nope, it happens every time the computer loads anything. say if I for example open up the menu, there comes the bzzz for the second when it loads. and so on | 12:43 |
| vigo | Slart: Did you see the correction made? | 12:44 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: try messing around with the things in gnome-volume-meter e.g. disable your microphone stuff | 12:44 |
| Spawnzizzle | When I install Ubuntu 8.10 (trough usb device), how can I update to 9.04? | 12:44 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: correction: gnome-volume-control | 12:44 |
| Slart | Raphi974: Just trying to catch it early... before you get kicked or something even worse | 12:44 |
| Slart | vigo: yup, reading now | 12:44 |
| vigo | Slart: okee dokee,,that is the GNU replacement for what you were discussing. | 12:45 |
| PetoKraus | >.> anyone? it can't be that hard | 12:45 |
| Slart | vigo: it looks interesting.. never heard of if before..hope they make something good out of it | 12:45 |
| Brucevdk | PetoKraus: previously installed kernels are indeed store for this exact purpose, you just select a different one in the GRUB menu | 12:46 |
| PetoKraus | yeah | 12:46 |
| PetoKraus | i'm asking how did you configure your fancy useless splashscreen | 12:46 |
| PetoKraus | and since i'm not using ubuntu | 12:46 |
| PetoKraus | i have no idea how to get rid of it and get into grub | 12:47 |
| PetoKraus | :) | 12:47 |
| Brucevdk | PetoKraus: I think GRUB by default is accesible during boot with ESC | 12:47 |
| PetoKraus | right, i'll tell him to try, ta. | 12:47 |
| vigo | Slart: I am getting offtopic here, so away I go | 12:47 |
| Slart | vigo: ok, thanks for the link. | 12:47 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: any luck? | 12:48 |
| n4h0j | Brucevdk: thx for the suggestions. wont help, must be some wire inside thats not working or something. strange that it does not exist in windows... =S | 12:48 |
| stephy | Mahlzeit :) | 12:48 |
| vigo | Slart: My pleasure, I just noticed or stumbled on it a while back, am using DeepDyve now. | 12:49 |
| n4h0j | will have to open up the case to see about this. | 12:49 |
| Brucevdk | n4h0j: if it doesn't happen in Windows it's usally a software issue | 12:49 |
| Brucevdk | at least, that's what I'd think | 12:49 |
| n4h0j | as far as I can tell, it's limited to the contact on the chassi | 12:49 |
| n4h0j | the contact on the back don't have the same problem | 12:50 |

| ActionParsnip | Scription: run an fsck | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | Scription | 12:55 |
| ubottu | Scription: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: you should only use su to change to a different user, use sudo -i if you want a root-like terminal | 12:56 |
| kklimonda | Scription: also disk may be failing - check output of smartctl -H /dev/sdX | 12:56 |
| Scription | that's not my point ActionParsnip anything i type doesn't work | 12:57 |
| stupendo44 | question: how do I create a custom link to ccrypt so that parameters I use every time will be automatic? Do I need to create a bash script for this, or is there an easy way? | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: get it fsck'd in live cd | 12:57 |
| Scription | smartctl -H /dev/sd what? | 12:57 |
| Scription | sd2 or what | 12:57 |

| kklimonda | Scription: /dev/sda | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: ok, get into live cd and run sudo fdisk -l the partitions will be named /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 etc (for exemple). These are partitions on /dev/sda | 12:59 |
| kklimonda | or /dev/sdb | 12:59 |
| kklimonda | but if you can't run any commands than smartctl will also fail | 12:59 |
| kklimonda | you need livecd | 13:00 |
| Scription | anything I can fix? or should i just buy a new comp? this one just jumped up to 100% processor usage and max GHz lol -.- | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: you need to use that in the command, you will need to run all this form the live cd as you cannot run commands currently on nyour installed system | 13:00 |
| Scription | anyway, should i buy a new one? this one is kinda old anyway | 13:00 |
| Scription | k what should i type? let me write it down or something | 13:00 |

| ActionParsnip | Scription: sudo fdisk -l (minus ell) | 13:01 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: No | 13:01 |
| Scription | anything after that? | 13:01 |
| === matze is now known as Guest48490 | ||
| Scription | just the sudo fdisk -l then im done? | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: let me websearch | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: you can then fsck that disk | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: and the partitionsin your system | 13:03 |
| Scription | fsck what | 13:03 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: thanks man I will be waiting | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: you can also rum smartctl -H /dev/<drive name | 13:03 |
| Scription | k and what if it can't even boot off a live cd | 13:04 |

| Slart | ubottu tell scription about enter | 13:05 |
| ubottu | scription, please see my private message | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) | 13:06 |
| Slart | Scription: it's not about using pastebin.. it's about leaving the poor enter key alone for a while =) | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: then you can boot to root recovery console, umount all the partitions and check them there | 13:06 |
| Scription | not sure what you mean there | 13:06 |
| on5sl | i mounted an .sio with 9.04, and i can see it in nautilus as a disk. But the open with wine doesn't work so i want to cd to the dir by using the terminal but i can't find where the locaton is? It starts with archive:// | 13:07 |
| kklimonda | on5sl: why do you want to use wine? | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: press esc when grub loads, select recovery mode for your kernel, then select root console, youu will be dropped to sinle user console mode | 13:07 |
| kklimonda | on5sl: it may be in ~/.gvfs/ | 13:07 |
| on5sl | kklimonda: for Warcraft | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: you will need to unmount all partitions which you can nthen run with fsck | 13:07 |
| on5sl | kklimonda: nope not in .gvfs | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: add the path as a drive letter in winecfg | 13:08 |
| Scription | can you tell me how to unmount and the syntax for fsck? | 13:08 |
| on5sl | ActionParsnip: that's the problem..the path is archive://........ | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html/comment-page-2 | 13:09 |
| kklimonda | on5sl: then just mount it from terminal | 13:09 |
| kklimonda | on5sl: mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/ | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: then you are not accessing the mounted ISO, the mounting would be /path/to/mount/point not archive:// | 13:09 |
| on5sl | kklimonda: busy doing that.. but this should work better normally.. | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: no, archive:// is a file browser protocol which is nothing to do with wine | 13:10 |
| on5sl | kklimonda: the pth should be something more logical then it is now so you can use it mroe easy | 13:10 |
| Scription | ActionParsnip: can u pm me that thing u posted about hitting esc and all that? | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: reboot pc, start hammering ESC key on the keyboard and you will be away | 13:10 |
| kklimonda | on5sl: the problem is .iso isn't really mounted when you double click it from nautilus | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Scription: thats all there is to it | 13:10 |
| on5sl | ActionParsnip: i know that this doesn't have anything to do with wine, but i just mention cd'ing the to path. Which is archive:// and so you can't cd to it | 13:10 |
| === edgex-[a] is now known as edgex | ||
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: then you need to mount the iso so wine will see it | 13:11 |
| on5sl | indeed | 13:11 |
| Scription | k ActionParsnip here goes -.- | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: try: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: you can make a script to mount the iso then use wine but the fact you can use archive:// in another app is not a shortcomig of wine | 13:12 |
| on5sl | ActionParsnip: i know all that | 13:13 |
| on5sl | your missing my point | 13:13 |
| on5sl | i know how to do it, but i mean that mounting it with nautilus should work too..this is something that is not right in ubuntu. | 13:13 |
| Slart | on5sl: sorry for breaking in here.. but what are you trying to do? | 13:14 |
| stupendo44 | on5sl, I checked around on my system, but I don't see it mounted anywhere specific. I think it's more like a virtual think for gnome. You'd probably have to mount it manually | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: sure, theres a service menu you can pull down so you can right click then select mount | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: try installing it | 13:14 |
| stupendo44 | on5sl, like ActionParsnip said, you can create a script so you'll know where it will me mounted. /media would probably be my choice | 13:15 |
| on5sl | Slart, stupendo44, ActionParsnip, well then the mounting action now is quite dumb...it should be improved then | 13:15 |
| stupendo44 | on5sl, I found a bug someone posted for wine saying that it should be able to access "archive mounted" iso's | 13:15 |
| kklimonda | on5sl: it might be an error - archives (and iso is considered an archive) should be mounted by gvfs to ~/.gvfs/ when accessed | 13:15 |
| on5sl | why could you use it when 90% of the time you need to mount it manually | 13:15 |
| stupendo44 | on5sl, I agree, but perhaps there's reasons for the way it is | 13:15 |
| on5sl | maybe..but in my opinion no reason is good enough for this | 13:16 |
| stupendo44 | on5sl, I think it's designed more for GUI use, which doesn't matter if it's mounted to a specific address or not | 13:16 |
| on5sl | this simply should work like a manual mount... | 13:16 |
| kklimonda | and using /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-archive file=image.iso works as excepted | 13:17 |
| stupendo44 | on5sl, as long as it's mounted, you can access the files | 13:17 |
| kklimonda | i wonder why it isn't supported from gui.. | 13:17 |
| misieq | how can i enable external display (lcd screen via d-sub) on mobility radeon hd 2600 using ati proprietary 9.4 catalyst (installed using --buildpkg option) on ubuntu 8.10? | 13:17 |
| stupendo44 | kklimonda, what's the expected behavior? where does it mount? | 13:17 |
| on5sl | well obviously this could be improved.... | 13:17 |
| kklimonda | stupendo44: to ~/.gvfs/ | 13:18 |
| on5sl | my expected behavior would be a normal folder file..so i can acces it from anywhere | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | on5sl: submit a feature | 13:18 |
| myloving_ubuntu | salaam..... | 13:19 |
| on5sl | ActionParsnip: can you give me a direction? never doen that before...i guess on launchpad? | 13:19 |

| Slade605 | Hello all, what file can I assign variables to permanently be saved for console use? (ie. server=192.168.1.100) | 13:20 |
| === krishna is now known as Kimi | ||
| stupendo44 | on5sl, here's a page telling how to create a script that will mount it in a specific location: http://tinyurl.com/2tjqyo | 13:20 |
| Slart | Slade605: ~/.bashrc might work | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Slade605: add a line to ~/.bashrc | 13:20 |
| Slade605 | Slart ActionParsnip: that's what it was, thanks guys | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Slade605: export server=192.168.1.100 | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Slade605: then use $server when you need to use it | 13:21 |
| ubersoldat | Slade605-> althought, if you want to save DNS entries, you can also use /etc/hosts | 13:21 |
| stupendo44 | question: how do I create a custom link to ccrypt so that parameters I use every time will be automatic? Do I need to create a bash script for this, or is there an easy way? | 13:22 |
| on5sl | thx | 13:22 |
| Slade605 | ActionParsnip: can I throw the server=<ip> anywhere in .bashrc or somewhere specific? | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | stupendo44: i'd use a script personally | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Slade605: anywhere will do, I'd stick to the bottom so its clear where the stuff is that you have added | 13:23 |
| Slade605 | ActionParsnip: good idea, thanks | 13:24 |
| stupendo44 | ActionParsnip, the last time I made a script, I had a hard time making sure that parameters with spaces and everything were passed correctly. Is there an example script I can start with that would already have this implemented? | 13:24 |
| Slart | Slade605: I would recommend creating a comment in the same place.. something like "#created by Slade605 2009-04-19" so you know in 6 months what it is.. | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Slade605: to make it active you will need to close to all terminals, or run: source ~/.bashrc | 13:25 |
| Slade605 | Also, good idea, on a side note, what is export do, no man pages for it? | 13:25 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: I already check this website and tried the envyng, it does not happened when I switch user (I wish) but what do you think about Chuck Mahon method? | 13:25 |
| Slart | Slade605: it's in "man bash" I think | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: i wouldnt recommend envy, its weird with kernel updates | 13:25 |
| Slart | Slade605: I think it sets a variable so it isn't cleared when the script exits.. not sure if just a=blablabla is considered a local variable or something | 13:26 |

| Elob | Heya | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | stupendo44: i run jaunty so am not much use to him | 13:29 |
| stupendo44 | ActionParsnip, sure, one sec | 13:29 |
| balachmar | It needs to have two WM in there xfwm4 and fvwm1 | 13:29 |
| Elob | So I wanted to re-install python, so I did "sudo apt-get autoremove python" | 13:29 |
| Elob | and it removed everything | 13:29 |
| Elob | Including ubuntu-desktop | 13:29 |
| [_FireSoul_] | mine is GE force if that works ActionParsnip yse i can | 13:29 |
| Elob | So I only have a console back | 13:30 |
| grawity | Elob: So install ubuntu-desktop then? | 13:30 |
| Elob | Now this is fine, running sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should fix it | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | [_FireSoul_]: sure, just that he's on intrepid so my xorg.conf will be different | 13:30 |
| Elob | But I run a wireless network | 13:30 |
| stupendo44 | ActionParsnip, darn it. I'm not running my nvidia system. But I do have an xorg.conf from one. Let me get it. 2 minutes | 13:30 |
| [_FireSoul_] | i am using jaunty ActionParsnip | 13:30 |
| Elob | It doesnt seem to connect through my wireless network grawity | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Elob: use: sudo apt-get --reinstall install python | 13:30 |
| ziroday | Elob: encryption? | 13:31 |
| Elob | No, I'm just not sure what command to make it connect | 13:31 |
| Elob | Its just the bare console, with no desktop or GUI | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | [_FireSoul_]: yeah he's on intrepid and the xorg.conf files will be different | 13:31 |
| stupendo44 | studentz, in the mean time, can you pastebin your xorg.conf for comparison? | 13:31 |
| Elob | Yeah ActionParsnip, but the ubuntu-desktop has been uninstalled | 13:31 |
| Elob | So I cant figure out how to make it connect to a wireless network through the console | 13:31 |
| ziroday | Elob: do dhchpd wlan0, does that work? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Elob: thats only a metapackage so doesnt matter if it gets removed | 13:32 |
| Elob | Well I am dual booting on this machine | 13:32 |
| Elob | I know ActionParsnip, but all the UI is gone. I was wondering how to connect to a wireless network to re-download it | 13:32 |
| Elob | ziroday: any other suggestions? To try it I have to restart | 13:32 |

| Raphi974 | Elob, is there a key ? | 13:33 |
| Elob | Yeah there is Raphi974 | 13:33 |
| Elob | And no ActionParsnip sorry, not possible | 13:33 |
| Elob | If it were, what would I do? | 13:33 |
| Raphi974 | Elob, you can try : sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_ESSID | 13:33 |
| Elob | Would it connect automatically? | 13:33 |
| Raphi974 | Elob, sudo dhclient wlan0 | 13:33 |
| Raphi974 | but in iwconfig you have to put the key but i dunno how | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Elob: or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the line relating to your install cd and install the package from the version on your cd | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Elob: i strongly suggest trying to get a wired connection of sorts | 13:34 |

| loca|host | i have a wireless connection done on my laptop, and now i want to use it on another computer, but i have forgotten the WPA key ... anyone know where i can find it on my laptop ? since ubuntu should store it in cleartext | 13:43 |
| ranim | haw ? | 13:43 |
| Polterge|st | it seems like encrypting ram might be smart | 13:43 |

| Polterge|st | loca|host, this is a valid use for aircrack | 13:44 |
| picoo | Hi. What utility/tool can I install on each server in order to monitor such things as cpu-, memory-, swap usage -- but also that monitors security-logs such as failed login attempts, and such. What can you recommend? | 13:44 |
| Polterge|st | personal self security / key retrieval | 13:44 |
| Polterge|st | there is nothing unethical about using it for that | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ranim: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 13:45 |
| ubuntuguy2 | anybody using the new release candidate? | 13:45 |
| loca|host | Polterge|st, i thought aircrack is for hacking an unknown Wifi point, in my case, its my own Wifi point and i wont reset it just to put a new WPA key in it | 13:45 |
| Polterge|st | loca|host, no you are mistaken | 13:45 |
| Polterge|st | it is for hacking any wifi point | 13:45 |
| Polterge|st | even your own | 13:45 |
| picoo | anyone? | 13:45 |
| sproaty | Hi, whenever I click 'open' in totem, the dialog always pops up *really* small. It also does this from time to time with other applications' open/save dialogs. | 13:45 |
| Polterge|st | and to hack your own is a legit reason | 13:46 |
| ranim | thx | 13:46 |
| Polterge|st | loca|host, and you don't need to reset the key | 13:46 |
| Polterge|st | if it is WEP it can crack it pretty fast | 13:46 |
| Polterge|st | you need about 60,000 packets | 13:46 |
| Polterge|st | WPA takes a long time | 13:46 |
| darkvertex | picoo: zabbix is kind of devent | 13:46 |
| Polterge|st | this didn't come from me though | 13:46 |
| loca|host | Polterge|st, but it takes too much time to get the password :( i cant wait too long when i know (?) the password is saved in clear on my laptop :) | 13:46 |

| neur0tic | hello everyone, im trying to install ubuntu from the live cd and keep getting i/o error. I have an image of the same on the hard drive, is there anyway that i can loop mount it from the live cd and run the installer from there ? | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | picoo: ntop, free, df -h | 13:47 |
| Polterge|st | loca|host, that is just it though... it is probably shadowed | 13:48 |
| picoo | ActionParsnip: Well, I'm looking ofcorce of a complete tool for this. | 13:48 |
| Polterge|st | unless you know of a good way to decrypt that | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: did you md5 the iso you downloaded as well as verify the cd once burned | 13:48 |
| Polterge|st | I doubt it is in the /etc folder | 13:48 |
| ubuntuguy2 | I have an issue with the Add/Remove programs app in 9.04 | 13:48 |
| loca|host | Polterge|st, its stored using gnome-keyring | 13:48 |

| stupendo44 | neur0tic, just burn another copy of the cd | 13:48 |
| Polterge|st | ah | 13:48 |
| Polterge|st | you might be able to find it then | 13:48 |
| hateball | ^ubuntuguy2 , not Ububegin | 13:48 |
| Polterge|st | possibly | 13:49 |
| ubuntuguy2 | It doesn't want to switch categories. It sort of just freezes. | 13:49 |

| sisif | Hello guys. I`m trying to open a port via iptables with this rule: "-I INPUT -p tcp --dport 10001 -j ACCEPT". When I do iptables -L it shows me the port as open "ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:10001", but when I`m trying to telnet into that port, I get "Connection refused". Can somebody please point me what I`m doing wrong? Thanks. | 13:49 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, did you say the password was saved on a ubuntu pc? | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: you didnt answer my question | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded | 13:49 |
| Polterge|st | loca|host, just google to find out where gnome key ring stores passwords | 13:49 |
| neur0tic | nope, i did not MD5 it | 13:49 |
| studentz | ActionParsnip: sorry guys coffee time, I have a samsung 2253 bw 22 inch 2ms monitor | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: then the iso you downloaded may be garbaged, MD5 check the ISO | 13:50 |
| loca|host | stupendo44, yes using keyring | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: why dod you not check it? | 13:50 |
| grawity | Polterge|st: I think it's ~/.keyring ? | 13:50 |
| neur0tic | i was in windoze | 13:50 |
| neur0tic | ;( | 13:50 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, on my laptop, I can see the key using Accessories > Passwords and Encryption | 13:50 |
| chenno | sisif: is there any program listenening on port 10001? | 13:50 |
| Polterge|st | if it is shadowed there is a likelihood that I would just crack it if I were you. It will take time but that's kind of a small price to pay if that is the case | 13:51 |
| sisif | chenno: No, it is not. I was planing to use it for a OTTY server | 13:51 |
| Polterge|st | I can check that folder and see if it is the one | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: you can md5 check in nwin | 13:51 |
| PROject-Emerald | Are there any general chat channels in the Ubuntu IRC server? | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | neur0tic | 13:51 |
| Polterge|st | it might be | 13:51 |
| ubottu | neur0tic: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 13:51 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, I go to the passwords tab, click on the properties of my wireless connection, and show the password | 13:51 |
| ggeecko | l | 13:51 |
| chenno | sisif: if there's no program listening the 'connection refused' is normal | 13:51 |
| sproaty | this is what always happens - http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5880/screenshot1n.png | 13:51 |
| neur0tic | thats all great .. i'll do it always from now on ... but ... | 13:51 |
| neur0tic | is there currently any way that i can invoke the installer from the image ? | 13:52 |
| Polterge|st | I don't see it on mine loca|host but then again your system might be setup differently | 13:52 |
| Polterge|st | so I dunno | 13:52 |
| neur0tic | currently im on the live cd desktop | 13:52 |
| stupendo44 | neur0tic, no you can't launch the installer from a mounted image | 13:53 |
| loca|host | studentz, yes i click on the show password but it show me a crypted hash | 13:53 |
| neur0tic | @ stupendo44 , can i go in manually ? | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: not really sure until you verify the iso is consistant. If its bad you must redownload | 13:53 |
| === allsystemsarego is now known as skynet | ||
| stupendo44 | neur0tic, no, the boot process unpacks things | 13:53 |
| stupendo44 | neur0tic, the installer is not directly accessible from a mounted image, it must be booted | 13:54 |
| === skynet is now known as Guest27618 | ||
| Polterge|st | as I mentioned before ... aircracking it is a surefire way to do it | 13:54 |
| Polterge|st | just plug in your own MAC addy | 13:54 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, and that's not your key? | 13:54 |
| PROject-Emerald | How do you do a (TM) symbol on Ubuntu? Windows isALT+0153 | 13:54 |
| neur0tic | @stupendo, i understand that it must be booted.. but i am already on the live cd, so ... cant i just copy over stuff from the live thing ? | 13:54 |
| Polterge|st | it takes time but ... small price to pay to get back on the net when you forget a key | 13:54 |
| loca|host | stupendo44, no, my key is around 8 or 10 chars, i got a hash of some 30 - 40 chars | 13:54 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, for me, I use WPA, and I have an eight letter text key. What shows up for me is a long hash, but that's all you get. Even windows doesn't use your text. It converts it to hash. | 13:55 |
| neur0tic | @ActionParsnip, can i md5 the image now from the live cd ? | 13:55 |
| === Guest27618 is now known as tuxthepenguin | ||
| stupendo44 | loca|host, you can just connect using that hash it's the same as your 8 to 10 char key | 13:55 |
| Polterge|st | ah might be in hex | 13:55 |
| Polterge|st | yeah | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: if you can mount the partition containing the ISO, sure | 13:55 |
| Polterge|st | hex format probably | 13:55 |
| loca|host | ok i will try | 13:55 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, just make sure you say it's in hex | 13:55 |
| Polterge|st | the key is compatible as a passphrase or hex usually | 13:55 |
| Polterge|st | yeah | 13:55 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, is the other computer you're trying to connect ubuntu? | 13:56 |
| neur0tic | @ActionPArsnip, ok will try that now.. | 13:56 |
| loca|host | no, windows | 13:56 |
| === tuxthepenguin is now known as tuxpinguinul | ||
| stupendo44 | loca|host, ok, in the network properties, there's an option to select whether the key is hex or not. You can enter the hex key there, and everything will work fine | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: why not just boot back to windows and check it there | 13:57 |
| === tuxpinguinul is now known as allsystemsarego | ||
| stupendo44 | loca|host, as far as I know, the plaintext key is not stored anywhere. It's discarded as soon as you enter it, and it changes it to hex | 13:57 |
| Slade605 | Hey, what is the best way to recover files that were deleted with rm -rf? | 13:57 |
| neur0tic | @ActionParsnip, why would i like to do that , any specific reason ? | 13:57 |
| loca|host | studentz, thank you | 13:57 |
| stupendo44 | loca|host, yw | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | neur0tic: less hastle than having to mount a partition if you are new to linux | 13:58 |
| hateball | !undelete | Slade605 | 13:59 |
| ubottu | Slade605: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 13:59 |
| neur0tic | @ActionParsnip, im not really so new to linux ... i used to be on gentoo .. thats why the question of trying it manually | 13:59 |
| stupendo44 | Slade605, in any case, in order to have any chance of recovery, the partition should be unmounted immediately | 14:00 |
| Aloush | Can you help me i have my external hardrive plugged into my other machine and i am only ubuntu live CD but when i clikc open it says cant mount file | 14:00 |

| neur0tic | cuz i dont think i can mount the iso and then do a md5sum on it | 14:08 |
| stupendo44 | neur0tic, that'd be your problem then | 14:08 |
| fortytwo | hi.. is notify-osd somewhat broken in jaunty? it reacts much too slow to volume changes via keyboard hotkeys on my machine | 14:08 |
| stupendo44 | neur0tic, redownload the iso | 14:08 |
| Brucevdk | dougsko: :-) | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Stylee: youu will need the dev library for open gl | 14:09 |
| neur0tic | okay great ! | 14:09 |
| stupendo44 | neur0tic, no, the md5 would be for the iso itself, unmounted | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Stylee: the fact youu have 3d support on your graphics card doesnt affect the compile | 14:09 |

| Elob | I am having a weird problem with apt-get | 14:43 |
| Elob | I am trying to remove Python | 14:43 |
| Hrym | dingdong: I think you need to reinstall grub. | 14:43 |
| stupendo44 | lartza_, did it just start? | 14:43 |
| Elob | but when I run apt-get remove python | 14:43 |
| Elob | it tries to remove everything | 14:44 |
| lartza_ | stupendo44: startx and I get icewm but mouse doesn't move | 14:44 |
| Elob | 667mb of packages | 14:44 |
| LjL | Elob: pastebin the exact output that it gives | 14:44 |
| InsertHome | http://zutils.co.cc | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | dingdong: the vista install will write the boot sector to its own so you will need to reinstall grub | 14:44 |
| Elob | LjL: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/nodoFH | 14:44 |
| jelly12gen | Elob: there are many packages dependend on python | 14:44 |
| reid | sweet.. I just found out that I will never be able to use Jaunty I don't think... | 14:44 |
| Elob | Hmm | 14:45 |
| stupendo44 | lartza_, sry, not sure. the only issue I've fixed is an nvidia hwcursor issue, but I could use the mouse, it just wouldn't show the cursor. I'm not sure what your issue is | 14:45 |
| Elob | Well, then I am having a trouble with python | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Elob: if you want to reinstall python, use sudo apt-get --reinstall install python | 14:45 |
| jelly12gen | Elob: and you need python for the most apps | 14:45 |
| LjL | Elob: jelly12gen is right, why do you want to remove python? | 14:45 |

| Elob | Because ljl it is having problems. I have a module installed - beautifulsoup - but whenever I run python from the command line it says it does not exist | 14:45 |
| mah_boi | hi Flood | 14:46 |
| jelly12gen | Elob: just dont remove it | 14:46 |
| LjL | Elob: also, your pastebin doesn't load for me (but it'd probably just confirm it's all packages that do actually need python, anyway) | 14:46 |
| Elob | yet when I run it in IDLE it works | 14:46 |
| mah_boi | whoops | 14:46 |
| PerryArmstrong | ActionParsnip; is Python used for system programming?? | 14:46 |

Then there is mount: can't find /init in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab, and finally Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init. | 15:21 |

| jonaskoelker | Hi all. My firefox is running at 52% cpu, plus 40% in the xserver (total=92%); that seems a little excessive... it's also slow to respond. How can I make it snappier? | 15:30 |
| tj83 | hi all, quick question, say you had a sep /home partition and the drive it was on failed, and totally unrecoverable, you replace this drive with a clean one, you create your user home directory and now what? is there something that i should do to re-create configuration files for various thing on the system? can dpkg do it? gpkg configure -a only builds configs for unpacked (yet to be installed) packages.... how do you rebuild for already installed packages? | 15:30 |
| jonaskoelker | also, my x server crashes quite often when I play starcraft... does that point to sucky drivers? | 15:30 |
| lasivian_ | jonaskoelker, did you just upgrade to 3.0.8? | 15:30 |
| jonaskoelker | lasivian_: I'm running 3.0.8, but "just" would probably be a mischaracterization | 15:31 |
| no_mind | jonaskoelker: try restrting firefox and check on the number of plugins in firefox. More the number of plugin, more cpu and memory it takes | 15:31 |
| jonaskoelker | it might have started being atrociously slow when I upgraded | 15:31 |
| lasivian_ | jonaskoelker, I rest my case. Even tho I have no "proof" of this it seems something in 3.0.8 is goofed | 15:31 |
| === rumpel is now known as rump3l | ||
| lasivian_ | jonaskoelker, I backpedaled to 3.0.5 and it was alot faster | 15:31 |
| jonaskoelker | no_mind: 0 plugins atm | 15:31 |
| vigo | Is MC or MidnightCommander a handy utility? | 15:31 |
| jonaskoelker | lasivian_: is there a repo which still has 3.0.5? | 15:32 |
| jonaskoelker | lasivian_: all I can see is 8 and 3 | 15:32 |
| thebackwash | vigo: yes. launch it, and then hit control-o to toggle back and forth between a command line and the dual-pane browser | 15:32 |
| no_mind | jonaskoelker: then something is goofed up in ubuntu build. Why dont you try downloading firefox fromt eh site and firing the binary yourself ? | 15:32 |
| vigo | thebackwash: Thank you | 15:32 |
| lasivian_ | jonaskoelker, I pulled it straight from mozilla's site | 15:33 |
| jonaskoelker | hmm... | 15:33 |
| thebackwash | vigo: i disable the command line below the panes, because i like to type a file/directory's name to highlight it, and return to enter it | 15:33 |
| jonaskoelker | or I could switch to w3m-mode :D | 15:33 |
| thebackwash | vigo: it's in the interactive menus, activated by f9 | 15:33 |

| ramvi | What do I write into terminal to install all languages? I dont need writing aid and such. I just want to be able to select all languages available on ubuntu. | 15:35 |

| ewsubach | whois ramvi | 15:36 |
| jonaskoelker | I can only find .8 | 15:36 |
| ramvi | whois ewsubach | 15:36 |
| ewsubach | ramvi: sorry, testing out irc commands | 15:36 |
| no_mind | jonaskoelker: got to getfirefox.com and it will automatically give you link to latest build based on your os | 15:36 |
| ewsubach | ramvi: forgot the backslash | 15:36 |
| ramvi | hehe | 15:36 |
| jonaskoelker | no_mind: which is 3.0.8... shouldn't I run 3.0.5? | 15:36 |
| Lunatika | I have a SATA to IDE converter and Ubuntu installation does not recognize my disk , is there a way to fix that | 15:36 |
| lasivian_ | jonaskoelker, http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ | 15:37 |
| no_mind | jonaskoelker: try 2.0.8 from teh firefox site, it might be more stable than the ubuntu build | 15:37 |
| lasivian_ | jonaskoelker, mind you running an old version is less secure and add-ons might work, but I think it will fix your issue | 15:37 |
| no_mind | s/2/0.8/3.0.8 | 15:37 |
| ramvi | [Translations] Anyone know what to write into terminal to install all languages? (I don't need writing aid and so on.) I just want to be able to select all languages available to ubuntu without installing anything. | 15:37 |

| lasivian_ | no_mind, my issue is that it was sucking too much cpu/memory | 15:39 |
| lnSE | Need help, Ubuntu crashes with this in system log. http://share11.appspot.com/10426.text | 15:39 |
| lasivian_ | it worked ok, just slow as hell | 15:39 |
| rhsanborn | lasivian_: is the slowness better/worse on certain pages. My firefox is a dog, but it's usually due issues with flash, etc. | 15:39 |
| lasivian_ | now if I could just get this webcam working again :( | 15:39 |
| no_mind | lasivian_: that was the problem with me in ubuntu build but not with official firefox build | 15:39 |
| lasivian_ | rhsanborn, no, even with no pages open it was a dog | 15:39 |
| etherz | hi, Im having some problems with my mdadm created raid array in ubuntu server, two of my disks just showed up as missing as I nudged my case with the side off and I think the cables came loose, I restarted after checking the connections and now all 9 disks are showing as spares and I cannot access my data! | 15:39 |

| paul__ | hey guys | 15:41 |
| vigo | thebackwash:This thing is neat! | 15:41 |
| paul__ | know any good chat rooms | 15:41 |
| captainc | muse, I'd go for ext4 or ext3. if you need it to work with any version of windows, I'd say NTFS. | 15:41 |
| Prometheus | wow 1420 ppl in here | 15:42 |
| muse | Why ext3, or ext4! I didn't even know that existed :) | 15:42 |
| * lasivian_ grovels for webcam help again, heh | 15:42 | |
| rhsanborn | muse: like captainc mentioned, if you want to be able to plug that HD into a windows box, I'd go NTFS. I personally use ext3 as I got fed up with some ntfs quirks. | 15:42 |
| deany | "any" version isnt quite true :) | 15:42 |
| piotrek22 | ktb | 15:42 |
| muse | I don't need it to be win compatible | 15:43 |
| lasivian_ | rhsanborn, can't you just add ext3 support to windows? ;) | 15:43 |
| captainc | deany, if he's on win98, he's already in trouble! | 15:43 |
| deany | ive seen stranger things | 15:43 |
| captainc | lasivian_, there is an ext2/ext3 driver for windows that works quite well. | 15:43 |
| muse | and as for partition scheme? | 15:43 |
| muse | doesn't matter | 15:43 |
| * lasivian_ gasps at captainc | 15:43 | |
| stumped | anybody know if 9.04 will support nvida cards better? | 15:44 |
| lasivian_ | never knew dat | 15:44 |
| nadan | i think its this http://www.fs-driver.org/ but i don't see ext3 support? | 15:44 |
| captainc | it works. i've used it with ext3. | 15:44 |
| nadan | yah it does volumes with the Ext2 or Ext3 file system | 15:44 |
| lasivian_ | stumped, one usually assumes that is the reason behind a new release, to make things work better ;) | 15:44 |
| rhsanborn | stumped: afaik it's more of an issue with nvidia supporting nvidia cards better. | 15:44 |
| lasivian_ | rhsanborn is probably correct | 15:45 |
| cd_ | nie | 15:45 |
| stumped | well from reading the release notes, it would seem that 8.04 would support the driver, but 8.10 needs to use the free NV driver | 15:45 |

| ewsubach | iElectric: is python2.5-dev what you are looking for? | 15:50 |
| rump3l | @danes dont do that! | 15:50 |
| rhsanborn | stumped: This may be of interest to you, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . It's supposed to look at your hardware and get the right driver. gf 4 may be on an older driver. | 15:50 |
| captainc | stumped. remove all nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx and utilities), restart, choose a default resolution/configuration, log in, go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, pick the recommended nvidia driver. | 15:50 |
| PerryArmstrong | vigo; not exactly...if you check the errors are different from the link you gave me | 15:51 |
| captainc | than restart again and you should be set to go. | 15:51 |
| danes_ | rump3l, I checked on the folder manually, and the size is less than 1MB | 15:51 |
| captainc | and use the 'nvidia-settings' program to change resolutions | 15:51 |
| iElectric | ewsubach, probably | 15:51 |
| danes_ | how can I clear /tmp/? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/154108/ | 15:52 |

You could simply backup your /home folder now, then re-install, and replace all your settings and data with the backup. That is very radical, as I said, I think I am overlooking a or the simple fix for your error. | 16:03 |

| PerryArmstrong | vigo there?? | 16:12 |
| Barridus | Lasivian, i'd guess prolly a kernel header maybe? see if there's a backported kernel header in backports? (just a stab in the dark but better than silence). OH. i remember reading the acer's webcam can actually be one of two different models. that might explain why most everyone is saying "works out of box" yet your experience is a disaster. | 16:12 |

| eternal_ | Question ? When loading a site with prochatrooms.com chat script my computer drops out every 2 or so mins. Only happens with this type of site. version 8.04 ubuntu | 16:37 |
| lasivian_ | bolt_, it's also highly likely that nobody here is going to know much of anything about that system, we're very slow right now because it's sunday | 16:37 |

| bolt_ | it's a gent fire alarm system | 16:37 |
| zak_ | how to format my memory card ?i can delete any files fro mthat card ? | 16:38 |
| rafael | and there should be no reason why it's missing since it's point is to enable cross-os portability for opengl apps | 16:38 |
| lasivian_ | bolt_, what packages did you install? | 16:38 |
| Brucevdk | rafael: if that's the case then that's a bug too (a packaging issue), if it doesn't have anything to do with non-free stuff that is | 16:38 |
| bolt_ | ones on the cd | 16:38 |

| Mike94287 | I'm getting a new computer soon but I don't want to have to reconfigure it all to be like my old one. Is there a way I can just copy my current programs, themes, and everything over to a new computer? | 18:07 |
| lasivian_ | what is the newest kernel for 8.10? | 18:07 |
| AndyTim | Mike94287: I like 'rsync' | 18:07 |
| Flannel | !cloning | Mike94287 | 18:08 |
| ubottu | Mike94287: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 18:08 |
| greenie | Emile: and you said that when you mnt in Vmware it boots up, which means the iso is good and you said that you've got it to boot Backtrack which means the Usb stick is good. Idk | 18:08 |

| AndyTim | DsXack: Maybe there's a language specified in your /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst. Try pressing Control-Alt-F2 | 18:09 |
| lasivian_ | Flannel, is there a simple way to upgrade that? | 18:09 |
| Flannel | lasivian_: To what? | 18:09 |

| hbekel | jacoblyles: what's the error message? | 18:10 |
| AndyTim | Emile: Maybe it's just slow? Does your USB stick have a light? | 18:10 |
| lasivian_ | apt-get upgrade is only saying my flash should be upgraded, but i'm using 2.6.27-7 | 18:10 |

| droid7 | does java & flash work well in 64bit? | 18:11 |
| chris_ | roadmap: no, the bugmenot logins dont work, and several of them are merely warnings that the site is bad anyway :( I guess I can try finding another laptop that comes with the chip and get the drivers from the manufacturers website | 18:11 |

| roadmap | chris_: the dell EXEs extract out into the driver INF files | 18:11 |
| lstarnes | gizmo: "connection reset by peer" means that either whatever you connected to or something between you and it reset the connection | 18:11 |

| hbekel | jacoblyles: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com | 18:12 |

| roadmap | chris_: no problem :) I hope it works. If anything I'd advise to stay away from broadcom if at all possible | 18:14 |
| hbekel | jacoblyles: have you tried deleting/renaming any eclipse related dotfiles or folders from your home directory? | 18:14 |

| mxboy15u | ok thanks | 18:14 |
| mxboy15u | it seems to be opening the volume read only | 18:15 |
| mxboy15u | that is my problem | 18:15 |
| chris_ | roadmap: the silly thing is that this machine is available from dell with ubuntu preinstalled, but if you buy it with windows on and then replace it with ubuntu instead you get wireless hell. Its ridiculus | 18:15 |
| ienorand | mxboy15u: usb stick? that's odd... | 18:15 |
| martinix_ | Hi All, could anyone give me a hand copying a complete system to another machine? | 18:15 |
| Omen | anyone use globalmenu? | 18:15 |
| roadmap | chris_: I imagine dell preconfigures the wireless with ndiswrapper using the windows broadcom drivers | 18:15 |
| jacoblyles | hbekel: should I uninstall eclipse as well, or just try that? | 18:15 |
| lasivian_ | why would "uname -a" show "2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20" yet doesn;pt say my kernel can be updated? | 18:15 |
| homy | Hi! Can I somehow easily position two windows side by side so that all space is used? | 18:16 |
| hbekel | jacoblyles: i don't think uninstalling eclipse will help | 18:16 |
| chris_ | roadmap: you have no faith in either wl or b43 drivers then? | 18:16 |
| hbekel | jacoblyles: probably your user config files are corrupt | 18:16 |
| roadmap | chris_: as far as Iknow they havent worked for years | 18:16 |
| roadmap | chris_: its pretty much hit or miss, ndiswrapper seems to be your best bet | 18:16 |
| Lighttitan | I have Xubuntu installed, how do I get it to open Mplayer instead of totem by default when I put in a movie? | 18:16 |
| mxboy15u | i am not sure how to change its permissions | 18:17 |
| chris_ | roadmap: ok, thats usefull info. TBH, in years of wireless problems with different chips, ive never got a single machine to work wirelessly without ndiswrapper | 18:17 |
| * chris_ weeps | 18:17 | |
| Emile | Hey! I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my usb stick, but after the login screen it's stuck being orange.. anyone know what's wrong? | 18:17 |
| mr_daniel | I hope someone with good bash and make skills can help me to answer what is the purpose of '@$<' ? | 18:17 |
| jacoblyles | hbekel: it boots now, but it looks like I will have to redo all my settings. Thanks! It works, and that's the important thing. | 18:17 |
| unop | mr_daniel, doesn't look like bash .. can you show us the line that has this? | 18:18 |
| roadmap | chris_: I've been lucky. Back in the olden days of yore, my laptop ran ipw2200 and it was unsupported or barely working with Linux at the time, thus ndiswrapper came into play. | 18:18 |
| firian | can someone help me configure my mp3 player with amarok | 18:18 |
| chris_ | roadmap: lol | 18:18 |
| roadmap | chris_: years later, ipw2200 not only works flawlessly but is probably one of my favorite chipsets (aside from atheros) to use on Linux | 18:18 |
| mr_daniel | it can be found in this Makefile on line 29 http://rafb.net/p/OS1TDx80.html | 18:18 |
| homy | I'm not sure, cause I never tried windows 7 beta, but I think they have something like this: easily arranging two windows side by side to fill the whole screen. Is there something like this in ubuntu (gnome or kde)? | 18:18 |
| chris_ | roadmap: speaking of atheros, im a bit confused because dell seems to have provided me with atheros drivers | 18:19 |
| mdgeorge1 | hello | 18:19 |
| hbekel | jacoblyles: np... your user config files were corrupted, so reconfiguring is probably the easiest option | 18:19 |
| chris_ | roadmap: but i entered the serial no of the machine so its unlikely that it wrongly identified it | 18:19 |
| Cre | Hello all | 18:19 |
| roadmap | chris_: I've been lucky though, most wireless chipsets I have are supported natively by linux out of the box. Broadcom has been the only nightmare I've encountered and I've found it more beneficial to just avoid them (even if I have to buy a new wifi card) | 18:19 |
| mdgeorge1 | I recently installed ubuntu on my new mac mini, and I'm having a whole bunch of small annoying problems. can anyone help? | 18:19 |
| chris_ | roadmap: netgear and realtek chips have wasted hundreds of hours of my life | 18:20 |
| Barridus | can someone explain what a symlink is in this advice i found? "i created a script named it "S38umount-cifs" and placed it in /etc/init.d/ with a symlink in /etc/rc6.d/ and that works just great." | 18:20 |
| mdgeorge1 | the most annoying one is that when I'm playing games fullscreen, they randomly lose focus, and stop accepting keyboard/mouse input | 18:20 |
| hbekel | Barridus: man ln | 18:21 |
| mdgeorge1 | not a showstopper, but annoying | 18:21 |
| Barridus | hbekel, ? | 18:21 |
| Lighttitan | How do I set movies to open up with Mplayer by default instead of totem? | 18:21 |
| roadmap | chris_: I think i've had decent success with realtek | 18:21 |
| unop | mr_daniel, have a look here http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Automatic-Variables if you don't find it here, try asking in #workingset | 18:21 |
| chris_ | roadmap: i installed the dell drivers in wine but they are atheros - are broadcom and atheros related? if not why has dell given me thiese drivers when lspci clearly identifies the card as broadcom? | 18:21 |
| Rafik | hi, who knows a software for a pc-to-phone call (using the modem of course..) ? | 18:21 |
| hbekel | Barridus: read the manpage for the 'ln' command by typing 'man ln' in a terminal | 18:21 |
| unop | mr_daniel, FYI, makefiles are not written in bash | 18:21 |
| mdgeorge1 | also, I can't use the virtual terminals (ctrl+alt+fn) because all of my keyboard input gets doubled. I.e. when I type mdgeorge to login, I see mmddggeeoorrggee | 18:22 |
| mr_daniel | ok, thank you unop | 18:22 |
| ienorand | mxboy15u: let's try this, open up a terminal and use the command "df" now you should see one line with something mounted on /media/disk, probablt at the end... notice the "device" section of that line, what does it say? | 18:22 |
| roadmap | chris_: I think you picked the wrong drivers... ? | 18:22 |
| Barridus | dear lord | 18:22 |
| chris_ | roadmap: but i entered the serial no of the laptop on the dell site - it suggested these drivers based on the serial no, this is ridiculus, if the manufacter doesnt know whats in the machine how on earth are we supposed to | 18:23 |

| Lyth | t know | 18:25 |
| mxboy15u | http://paste.ubuntu.com/154184/ | 18:25 |
| DaemonLee | charles_, Yeah. I kinda made a boo-boo with Transmission and now I need to reset it somehow or reinstall it while removing conf files. | 18:25 |

| mxboy15u | how do I point an IM at someone the way you do to me? | 18:25 |
| Lyth | Bruce, I don't want 3d animation | 18:25 |

| ubottu | mxboy15u: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 18:25 |
| Lyth | I meant 2d animation, like flash type things | 18:25 |
| charles_ | DaemonLee: I don't understand the question | 18:25 |
| charles_ | DaemonLee: but if you're trying to reset the defaults, you could either delete or edit ~/.config/transmission/settings.json | 18:26 |
| Brucevdk | keres: I would rather not recommend something non-free :-) | 18:26 |
| ienorand | mxboy15u: so from that we see that your usb is mounted in the folder /media/disk, now do "ls -l /media/disk" to see the permissions read/write etc. of it | 18:26 |

| Barridus | hbekel, oh wait. the snippet was "and named it "S38umount-cifs" and placed it in /etc/init.d/ with a symlink in /etc/rc6.d/ and that works just great." should i create a dummy file symlinked to this umount-cfs script? | 18:27 |
| ienorand | mxboy15u: sorry, that should've been only ls -l /media | 18:27 |

| exodus_ms | Lyth, I don't about flash animators seem to be mostly aplaha? maybe this --> http://www.synfig.com/ | 18:29 |
| hbekel | Barridus: from that snipped i conclude that someone wanted to umount a cifs at shutdown, so he created a script in /etc/init.d and made a link to /etc/rc6.d to make the sysvinit init system run it at shutdown | 18:29 |
| Brucevdk | Lyth: just wondering | 18:29 |

| noodlesgc | Cyclist2: try #wine-hq | 19:00 |
| LargePrime | Brucevdk: how would i know? i think so | 19:00 |
| Brucevdk | LargePrime: well, there was a time the PDF support wasn't installed by default, maybe nowadays it is | 19:00 |
| LargePrime | Brucevdk: sorry i missed last message | 19:00 |
| Brucevdk | LargePrime: create the directory ~/PDF and then try to print something to PDF and see if it ends up in there, if not we'll take it from there | 19:00 |
| hbekel | Aaron: stock kernels usually provide drivers for a wide range of hardware, so "transplanting" a system usually works fine | 19:00 |
| LargePrime | Brucevdk: doing that | 19:00 |
| usser | Aaron, no. most hardware drivers are built into the kernel. when ubuntu boots it autodetects the hardware and loads the appropriate modules on the fly | 19:00 |

| Slade605 | Hey guys, I've got some issues installing Nvidia restricted drivers after a fresh 8.04 install, on a laptop with a 9800M GTS chipset | 19:30 |
| TheFunkbomb | hello | 19:31 |
| rapha | sebsebseb: Wine-Doors is not a replacement to Ubuntu's WINE. It's actually a package manager *for* the standard WINE. | 19:31 |
| === pen is now known as pyen | ||
| ActionParsnip | Slade605: still no joy eh, maybe someone else can help now | 19:31 |
| TheFunkbomb | Help with what? | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | rapha: yes I know what wine doors is pretty much, since I used it once | 19:31 |
| ``y7 | is there a way to setup ubuntu to update and upgrade automatically? | 19:31 |
| maverick340 | hbekel, no luck. | 19:32 |
| Slade605 | ActionParsnip: My buddy showed up with a laptop and said "please destroy vista" | 19:32 |
| TheFunkbomb | ``y7, that would require your root password | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ``y7: sure, make a script with the update commands you like then use cron to cron the updates | 19:32 |
| hbekel | maverick340: not what you need? | 19:32 |
| kenyon | ``y7: yes, see the package unattended-upgrades | 19:32 |
| rapha | sebsebseb: The prob is they had to take down their own repos (.wdi files) because of too much bandwidth usage by the community... http://www.qdh.org.uk/wordpress/?p=290 | 19:32 |
| Aaron | isn't their a new ubuntu version out? | 19:32 |
| maverick340 | hbekel, nope | 19:32 |
| cucciolo05 | cIaO A tUtTi dEl cHaN #ubuntu | 19:32 |

| KurtKraut | How can I remotely simulate a keypress over SSH? I'd like to simulate PageUp/Down to control slides on my OO Presentation thru my smartphone (accessing the desktop thru SSH). Would that be possible? | 19:32 |

| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 19:32 |
| o2Do | ActionParsnip, is there an english tutorial? | 19:32 |
| dylnuge|away | Aaron: If you mean 9.04, it's still in beta. You can discuss it at #ubuntu+1 | 19:32 |
| TheFunkbomb | ActionParsnip, but isn't that a security flaw? | 19:32 |
| dylnuge|away | Aaron: If you mean 8.10, it's been out for a while. | 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | rapha: when it comes to wine, I would just get it from the http://www.winehq.org repo for Ubuntu, then also always get the latest | 19:33 |
| rapha | hmmm | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | TheFunkbomb: no as you will need sudo to establish it initially | 19:33 |
| maverick340 | hbekel, I want to popup a message , preferably graphical on my PC downstairs. I know the uname and password, so i can give out sudo commands | 19:33 |
| Aaron | dylnuge|away: ya I mean 9.04 | 19:33 |
| rapha | i don't want WINE sebsebseb, I already got it. I want to install some of the applications that Wine-Doors offers. | 19:33 |
| TheFunkbomb | ActionParsnip, I see | 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | rapha: applications such as? | 19:33 |
| Aaron | does ubuntu have any software that is like peachtree? | 19:33 |
| LjL | cucciolo05: disable stupid scripts, thank you | 19:34 |
| hbekel | maverick340: xmessage, kdialog, zenity... | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaron: what does peachtree do? | 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | Aaron: maybe, but what's peachtree? | 19:34 |
| _XAXAB_O_P_E_X_ | well, im relatively new to the linux world and i prefer to stick to one distro until i go into the little more deep water :) I know that ubuntu is debian based but i dont know what are the differences between them for now and thatswy i prefer ubuntu. ActionParsnip as i can see in google Xubuntu (and i can understand) is mainly console but it has some common X environment ? | 19:34 |
| rapha | sebsebseb: such as Ubuntu Colors, Steam, and some of which I don't even remember the names because I just conveniently clicked "install" in Wine-Doors so far | 19:34 |
| TheFunkbomb | Peachtree? Like the liquor? | 19:34 |
| Aaron | it's a accounting software. | 19:34 |
| maverick340 | hbekel, i am running gnome | 19:34 |
| maverick340 | xmessage ? | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaron: gnucash | 19:34 |
| git__ | peachtree takes over the world | 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | rapha: Ubuntu Colors what's that? maybe you should also ask in #winehq | 19:34 |
| hbekel | maverick340: zenity is the gtk variant, xmessage comes with X | 19:34 |
| maverick340 | sorry, i ment, i ll try xmessage | 19:34 |
| git__ | gnucash is bad | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | _XAXAB_O_P_E_X_: you may not be able to with such restricted hdd space | 19:34 |
| Flannel | _XAXAB_O_P_E_X_: Xubuntu isn't mainly console. Ubuntu has Gnome as a desktop environment, Kubuntu uses KDE, and Xubuntu uses XFCE. | 19:35 |
| dylnuge|away | Aaron: Ok, it comes out in 4 days. | 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | Aaron: there are quite a few good native accounting softwares for Desktop Linux these days | 19:35 |
| _XAXAB_O_P_E_X_ | oh.. | 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | Aaron: finanical software | 19:35 |
| rapha | sebsebseb: gives Windows applications a native Ubuntu-Look. It's a Ubuntu thing really, the WINE guys won't know | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | _XAXAB_O_P_E_X_: if the system takes PATA drives, got an 80gb for pence and you will be able to install xubuntu easily | 19:35 |
| Aaron | peach tree is a popular professional accounting program, it on the fly using internet etc could update data of inventory (meaning goods) and caculate total stuff bu yet have each item listed sperately in accounting form. | 19:35 |
| krypto | hm i cant get my harddrive to go into standby.... its no system disk and it has no mounted fs... i use hdparm -y /dev/sdb | 19:35 |

| kebomix | ActionParnsip: then , because im on windows now | 20:02 |

| Brucevdk | GSMX: use dpkg -L phpmyadmin to list the files in the package and see if there's anything relevant, probably something in /etc/ or perhaps it just places things directly in /var/www and uses the default virtualhost | 20:18 |

| PhotoJim | theuser1: I really don't have any ideas. best way to make money on the Net is to have a site tons of people will want to visit (which will too big to host on a home connection), or to sell products or services (which will probably be against the terms of service of a home Internet connection).

| kplus | @AndyTimUbuntu: I'm trying to avoid that, i dont have any discs at the moment, i was hoping there was a way i could just use the usb stick, or run the iso from my laptops hard drive | 20:29 |
| AndyTimUbuntu | mansoor: Never heard of Parsix, sorry. | 20:30 |
| luke_ | my prism 2.5 pccard does not work properly with any linux distribution | 20:30 |
| AndyTimUbuntu | Moufkz: I _think_ Ubuntu allows for storing deltas on a USB stick, maybe you could put your auto-mounting stuff in there? | 20:30 |
| luke_ | and i have tried a lot | 20:30 |
| AndyTimUbuntu | kplus: GRUB4DOS allows you to boot an .ISO image, but it won't do you any good. The XP kernel doesn't have facilities for using the .ISO. | 20:31 |
| mansoor | www.parsix.org that is based on debian also & in most of cases Parsix & Ubuntu works same! | 20:31 |

| AndyTimUbuntu | kplus: The XP OS has no idea how to work with the .ISO file in the filesystem on your USB stick. You can always burn that .ISO to an actual optical disc. | 20:33 |
| supersasho | hbekel: i'm also positive line-in isn't mutted | 20:33 |
| ActiveFrost | Slart: 1 error x 20 .. well, someone said that dbus is not running, but hell no - I even don't know how to turn it on ! | 20:33 |
| supersasho | hbekel: and other sound works fine | 20:33 |
| kplus | @AndyTimUbuntu: if i were to transfer the iso to my laptops hard drive (running ubuntu)n and then run it in grub4dos, would it be able to run? | 20:34 |
| hbekel | supersasho: so your card has external output you connect to line in, i suppose? | 20:34 |
| supersasho | hbekel: yes | 20:34 |
| AndyTimUbuntu | Folks I have been thinking about adding to the Ubuntu initrd to allow for mounting the squashfs over httpfs, but wanted to make sure there isn't already support for it. | 20:34 |
| supersasho | hbekel: in win xp it worked just fine, here i've got a better picture but no sound :( | 20:34 |
| AndyTimUbuntu | kplus: No, sorry. The XP OS can't work with an .ISO file as a device. You could actually start the installation process, but once the OS actually starts running, you'd be out of luck. | 20:34 |
| n8tuser | kplus -> look into this http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp3_cd.htm | 20:35 |
| hbekel | supersasho: can you pastebin your lsmod? | 20:36 |

| Chopper | How can i Anomitise my UDP traffic, as i want to play world of wacraft with a new ip, but wow uses UDP rather then TCP | 20:38 |

| lesshaste | hmm.. how do I get a crash to actually put something in /var/crash? | 20:39 |
| lesshaste | it is permanently empty | 20:39 |
| lesshaste | despite an app crashing every time I run it | 20:39 |
| Dresk | Chopper: It won't work, WoW will get your spoofed UDP packets and try to send data back to the spoofed address, which is not you, so you won't be able to play | 20:39 |
| Chopper | So there is no way to fake my ip address on wow? | 20:40 |
| AndyTimUbuntu | Good luck to all with their challenges, and thanks for the discussion. | 20:40 |
| hbekel | supersasho: try modprobe tvaudio | 20:40 |
| Dresk | Chopper: You can use a proxy server somewhere and that will be the return address, that would slow your performance some and obviously you'll need a proxy | 20:40 |
| Dresk | Chopper: Otherwise no, spoofing is meant only in cases where you don't care about return traffic | 20:41 |

| theuser1 | what is the difference in openssh and sshd? | 20:42 |
| wolter | dhalsim, nevermind, some genius solved it at #math | 20:42 |
| Dresk | theuser1: SSHD is the actual Secure Shell Daemon that runs allowing people to connect to your Linux box through your configured shell | 20:42 |
| genii | theuser1: openssh-server is package containing sshd in ubuntu | 20:42 |
| papachungo13 | Hi all...total noob here with a question - how do I totally remove a program (firefox) from my system if it is not flagged as installed in the Synaptics Package list? | 20:42 |
| eseven73 | theuser1, I think the 'd' means daemon | 20:42 |
| Dresk | theuser1: OpenSSH is the package which supplies the underlying protocol support for sshd | 20:42 |
| Dresk | theuser1: OpenSSH is essentially a library, whereas sshd is a daemon which runs and utilizes OpenSSH | 20:43 |
| theuser1 | Dresk: genii ok | 20:43 |
| theuser1 | Dresk: so i have to install openssh? | 20:43 |
| noodlesgc | papachungo13: if you uninstalled it through synaptic, it should be uninstalled. | 20:43 |
| Dresk | theuser1: Pretty sure the sshd package under Ubuntu would need OpenSSH, don't quote me, I don't use Ubuntu | 20:44 |
| infomomo | 4 more days until release :D | 20:44 |
| noodlesgc | the sshd package is openssh-server | 20:44 |
| theuser1 | hm | 20:44 |
| theuser1 | Dresk: genii so can i control my pc from another locations if install openssh-server? | 20:45 |
| papachungo13 | noodlesgc it's still installed as v2.0.0.4 | 20:45 |
| Dresk | theuser1: OpenSSH itself is a broad protocol for establishing connections so you can do arbitrary tunneling and things like that | 20:45 |
| genii | theuser1: Yes. But it must be reachable by it's ip or name, etc | 20:45 |
| Dresk | theuser1: It gets pretty complicated with what you can do | 20:45 |
| papachungo13 | If I re-install through Synaptic (or anywhere else) it starts as v2 not v3 | 20:46 |
| === NotADJ is now known as TheDJACR | ||
| theuser1 | Dresk: i gues i can do many more with openssh? like? | 20:46 |
| Dresk | theuser1: For example, I use PuTTY on a Windows system to connect to my Linux server at home running a shell on HTTPS and then create a tunnel so I can bypass my company's web proxy | 20:46 |

| noodlesgc | Archdevil: I don't think it comes with broadcom wireless by default. If you want to be sure, you can boot off a livecd | 20:48 |
| samdaman | <arch devil>: you have to go system , administration , hadware drivers in the gnome menu to enable the broadcom driver | 20:48 |
| hbekel | supersasho: you're using sudo, are you? | 20:48 |
| theuser1 | genii: i heard of dns. what ddns | 20:48 |
| genii | supersasho: Most major ISP rotate ip numbers on purpose to foil things like home mail servers, etc | 20:48 |
| samdaman | because its propiretary | 20:48 |

| papachungo13 | noodlesgc it was an upgrade from version 6 up | 20:51 |

I am currently running 2 seporate xscreens. I get a lag when I watch movies and browse the internet. Funny thoug it even happens when I browse the net in my virtual machine xp. Point is I thought it was because of the separate xscreens, but | 21:02 |
| arjun | when I changed to twin view and even when I tried running on just one monitor. Ive googled til i was blue in the face, and all I could come up with was that it isn't ubuntu's fault, but rather nvidias. Point is that doesnt help me, is there a fix?? | 21:02 |

| Brucevdk | probably not as easy as just passing them on | 21:13 |

| Noqq | I got my Bootable USB device with Ubuntu 8.10 .iso on it. I got 2 questions though; 'When I'm gonna install Ubuntu, is it *REALLY* neccesarily to be connected to the internet with cable?' *and* 'Can I already update to 9.04 when I got 8.10 installed before release?' | 21:23 |
| cached | is there any way to change the system-wide bass and treble settings? my headphones slightly mess them up | 21:23 |
| etali666 | Noqq - I just installed 8.10 today, already done a few hundred meg of updates, so a decent connection might be handy. | 21:24 |
| guntbert | Hascal: I saw that but I cannot help you with this. Please be patient and repeat your question in about 10 minutes or so, there are not too many with mac experience... | 21:24 |

| * genii hands Slart a cookie | 21:27 | |
| Slart | nom nom nom =) | 21:27 |
| Slart | !ipod | Sheezy | 21:27 |
| ubottu | Sheezy: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 21:28 |
| Slart | Sheezy: newer ipods seem less and less likely to talk to linux machines.. | 21:28 |
| Slart | Sheezy: not sure about the shuffle.. but try those links and see if you can get it to work | 21:28 |
| Phoenix666 | hello world | 21:28 |
| GreedyB2 | Where could I possibly add a script to do something when my laptop resumes or comes back from hibernate? | 21:29 |
| Sheezy | Shuffle is just a screenless ipod | 21:29 |
| Sheezy | Yeah theres no info on syncing | 21:29 |
| Slart | GreedyB2: aren't there some folders in /etc/ somewhere.. /etc/acpi perhaps? | 21:29 |
| Phoenix666 | is there somebody who has tried Ubuntu 9.04 with nvidia card | 21:30 |
| genii | GreedyB2: Call your script from /etc/acpi/resume.sh or /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh etc etc | 21:30 |
| dee | :-/ | 21:30 |
| spdz | I was dualbooting XP and Ubuntu. I put Vista on partition 3, and now cant boot either XP or Ubuntu. How to fix....? | 21:30 |
| Slart | !jaunty | Phoenix666 | 21:30 |
| ubottu | Phoenix666: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 21:30 |
| GreedyB2 | perfect! I was looking in the wrong location... thanks Slart and genii | 21:31 |
| Slart | spdz: Vista just overwrote the mbr with it's own.. it's a bit selfish like that | 21:31 |
| Phoenix666 | #ubuntu+1 | 21:31 |
| Slart | !grub | spdz | 21:31 |
| ubottu | spdz: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 21:31 |
| Mike_lifeguard | OK, and the other thing is that my left alt doesn't work. So I suspect I have the keyboard set to the wrong layout. But my toshiba laptop isn't shown in the list - can I ask ubuntu to re-auto-detect the keyboard layout? (it was right when I first installed, but then I changed it when I plugged in my wireless keyboard and I don't remember what it was previously) | 21:31 |
| Slart | spdz: check the link for "Lost grub after installing windows" | 21:31 |
| Phoenix666 | Slart > /dev/null | 21:31 |
| Sheezy | Hm | 21:33 |
| Sheezy | I looked in synaptic for ipod | 21:33 |
| Phoenix666 | is there somebody who has tried Ubuntu 9.04 with nvidia card? | 21:33 |
| Sheezy | I found something that should help it mount | 21:33 |
| GreedyB2 | genii, how about when a network connection is made? would that be etc/network/if-up.d/ ?? | 21:33 |
| Slart | Phoenix666: once again.. wrong channel.. try in #ubuntu+1 | 21:33 |
| demonist | hello, i hate having to ask such a stupid question, but how do i change my x window manager in ubuntu? | 21:33 |
| spdz | Slart: thx | 21:33 |
| Slart | Phoenix666: if you're having problems using your irc-client just say so | 21:33 |
| demonist | oh ~/.xinitrc | 21:34 |
| genii | GreedyB2: entire network is /etc/init.d/networking You can also call pre-up post-up and post-down scripts on a particular interface from inside of /etc/network/interfaces | 21:34 |
| demonist | wait nevermind | 21:34 |
| exodus_ms | Does gedit store plugins somewhere else in 8.10 other than ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins | 21:36 |
| phirestalker | I have used sbackup to restore my configuration after a fresh install, I backep up /var for various reasons, so it overwrote dpkg info so dpkg thinks some packages are installed that are not | 21:36 |
| phirestalker | I am trying to remove cdemu-daemon but it's not there so it has an error trying to stop the service and won't uninstall even with various force options | 21:37 |
| phirestalker | how can I remove it so I can reinstall it? | 21:37 |
| Slart | phirestalker: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall cdemu-daemon" then remove it | 21:37 |
| graingert | phirestalker, try stopping the service | 21:38 |
| Slart | phirestalker: or don't remove if you want to keep it... either way reinstall might work when the other options do not | 21:38 |
| Riviera | Hi, I have ubuntu installed on my laptop, being online over ethernet. I would like to share the internet connection over wifi, making the laptop an access point. How would I do that? | 21:38 |
| Sheezy | I just got it working | 21:38 |
| Slart | !ics | Riviera, this should work over wifi too.. you might have change it a bit though | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Riviera, this should work over wifi too.. you might have change it a bit though: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 21:39 |
| phirestalker | reinstall was a no go, get the same problem | 21:39 |
| graingert | Riviera, with great difficulty | 21:39 |
| graingert | phirestalker, what is the prob? | 21:39 |
| phirestalker | how in the world is not being able to stop a service a fatal error?? | 21:39 |
| phirestalker | hold on let me get it on to pastebin | 21:39 |
| BlackCoffee | howdy.i'm resizing my dev/sda1/ so i can install winxp on it,how do i get the freed up space to become an ntfs partition?even further,how will that space be represented on the winxp install dialog? | 21:40 |
| Slart | BlackCoffee: I think the windows xp installer can create a partition in the empty space so you don't have to do it yourself | 21:40 |
| BlackCoffee | great | 21:40 |
| chuck | Is there a guide on how to upgrade from hardy to whatever is the latest? | 21:40 |
| Slart | !upgrade | chuck | 21:41 |

| phirestalker | http://pastebin.com/m7ffbd3b9 | 21:41 |
| Slart | chuck: jaunty is due in a couple of days.. so upgrading to intrepid might not be what you want right now | 21:41 |
| Arth | hi all | 21:42 |
| Chrystallic | Slart, do you think it would be smart to upgrade to jaunty in 6 dasy? | 21:42 |
| touch | . | 21:42 |
| Slart | Chrystallic: depends.. for a desktop machine, sure | 21:42 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 21:43 |
| Chrystallic | even if you got intreped? | 21:43 |
| Slart | Chrystallic: for a server responsible for keeping the sky up.. not quite so smart | 21:43 |
| Noqq | Is it true Ubuntu 8.04 and higher got an automatic partition option in the installment itself? | 21:43 |
| graingert | !botabuse | graingert | 21:43 |
| ubottu | graingert, please see my private message | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: guided partitining yeah | 21:43 |
| BladeNBrocade | does compiz just not work /w dual monitors in xinerama mode or is their a fix/workaround for that? | 21:43 |
| Slart | Chrystallic: I'm upgrading to jaunty.. perhaps not the first day.. but day 2 or so.. but I will leave my home server on hardy | 21:43 |
| Chrystallic | slart, one problem and the whole server goes skyhigh... | 21:44 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, what you mean by 'guided'? Is it worse or something? | 21:44 |
| Ryder5 | Can anyone walk me thourgh setting up Tor? ive read all the tuts online but still nothing :( | 21:44 |
| DASPRiD | jaunty <3 | 21:44 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: two ways for it to automatically do your partitions | 21:44 |
| phirestalker | I have tried to remove with --force-all in dpkg, but it seems that for some reason it thinks that not being able to stop it is a fatal error and won't continue, it doesn't make sense | 21:44 |
| Slart | Chrystallic: probably not.. but I wouldn't bet the company web server on it | 21:44 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: I would manually set up :) more control | 21:44 |
| === Ryder5 is now known as chopper | ||
| Noqq | sebsebseb, thats the problem, I can't seem to find a good/easy program (free) for windowsxp to make partitions. | 21:45 |
| Chrystallic | Slart: yea, might have some glitches in the beginning, for me I don't think I'll install jaunty really soon | 21:45 |
| chopper | Can anyone help me set up Tork? Ive read all the tuts online but still nothing | 21:45 |
| SlAiD | hello. I'm connected using the nx client (nomachine) and when I quit nx client I lose all aplications... likle, things shutdown with no reason. on windows using remote desktop connection when I disconnect, I can login again and stay with things exacly as I left... any clue for this? | 21:45 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: For Windows XP to make Ubuntu partitions? | 21:45 |
| Jerusalem420 | so i have a linux question. not specific to ubuntu, but since thats what i run, this is where i came. I have a bunch of .jpg files that I want to rotate counter clockwise 90 degrees. How I can do this to multiple files at once from the command line? | 21:45 |
| Noqq | I see videos of making partitions trough Disk Management, but somehow I don't have the option to 'make partition' | 21:46 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: yes I think disk management is only in XP Pro, if there is even in XP, in Vista there is | 21:46 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, I only got windows xp installed right now, and want to make a partition to install ubuntu on that space yes. | 21:46 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: you can use gparted to make partitions :) | 21:46 |
| === claire is now known as Guest74722 | ||
| guntbert | Jerusalem420: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 21:46 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: gparted/partitioneditor on the Ubuntu CD | 21:46 |
| Slart | SlAiD: it probably creates a session that only lasts while you are logged in.. some vnc servers can use the currently logged in user and doesn't exit when you disconnect.. I don't know if nx has the same option | 21:46 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: or do a guided install | 21:47 |
| Chrystallic | Slart: but when I got time, and not to much homework, I'll upgrade to Jaunty too | 21:47 |
| Jerusalem420 | thanks guntbert | 21:47 |
| chopper | Can anyone help me set up Tork? Ive read all the tuts online but still nothing? | 21:47 |
| Slart | Jerusalem420: take a look at imagemagick.. command line graphics editing | 21:47 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, I have the .iso from 8.10 installed on my Bootable USB. Can I run the GParted file before installing? | 21:47 |
| guntbert | !patience | chopper | 21:47 |
| ubottu | chopper: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 21:47 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: 8.10 is a bit pointless installing now, because 9.04 is out this Thursday | 21:47 |
| guntbert | chopper: sorry, wanted to send !repeat | 21:48 |
| chopper | Ok ill will wait | 21:48 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, is there already a .iso file out for 9.04? (the beta version, so I can update it when it comes out) | 21:48 |
| Jerusalem420 | thanks slart | 21:48 |
| SlAiD | Slart yep, probably. I think it does not. any way I can install vnc server on ubuntu 8.04? you have a guide or something? | 21:48 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: and if you set up the partitions yourself in 9.04, you can choose the Ext4 file system instead of the default Ext3. 9.04 is on a release candidate at the moment, just download the final when it's out on Thursday | 21:48 |
| emi2304 | castellano? | 21:48 |
| Slart | !info x11vnc | SlAiD | 21:49 |
| ubottu | SlAiD: x11vnc (source: libvncserver): VNC server to allow remote access to an existing X session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3.dfsg.1-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 747 kB, installed size 1556 kB | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: good idea to md5sum the ISO's before burning as well | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 21:49 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 21:49 |
| Slart | SlAiD: that's the one I was talking about.. it uses the already running session | 21:49 |
| GenovaIIS | ok so i have several ubuntu machines and would like to know if it would be possible to have my own mini internet, i dont have a real internet connection but would it be possible to turn one of my machines into something that will assign my machines an ip address | 21:49 |
| Slart | !vnc | SlAiD | 21:49 |
| ubottu | SlAiD: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 21:49 |
| SlAiD | heh,tks. dude. :D | 21:49 |
| SlAiD | going to read it | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: if you want to try Ubuntu before Thursday, then I would suggest a virtual machine of 8.10 inside XP | 21:49 |
| GenovaIIS | sorta like turn one into a router like thngy? | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: as long as your computer has enough RAM | 21:49 |
| SlAiD | if anything goes wrong I will let you know. | 21:49 |
| theuser1 | i need a free vnc software for both windows xp and kubuntu. i what to make windows and kubuntu both as some times client and some times server. need ecryptiiiiionn say ssh if possible. please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software if you want to ? | 21:49 |
| theuser1 | Slart: ^ | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: or maybe wubi even | 21:50 |
| sebsebseb | !wubi > Noqq | 21:50 |
| ubottu | Noqq, please see my private message | 21:50 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, thanks, I know about Wubi. I think I'm gonna download the Dekstop CD of 9.04 and make it bootable for my USB. | 21:51 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: well not yet then for 9.04, wait untill final on Thursday | 21:51 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, since I need to make it USB bootable because my Eee 1000He doesn't have a cd drive. :) | 21:51 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: oh your on a EEPC, it seems that 9.04 has some improvements for netbooks as well | 21:52 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, why wait? I can always update it when it comes out right? | 21:52 |
| Slart | theuser1: I would use one of the many vnc server packages that are available for windows.. there are several.. any will do.. and the regular vnc server client from the repos.. they usually talk to each other just fine | 21:52 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: ,because there will still be some bugs here and there I guess, that could effect you | 21:52 |
| A_G1RL | so that I don't waste your time here ... is there such a thing a a ubuntu complete newb irc channel? | 21:52 |
| Slart | theuser1: I've never setup vnc over ssh so I can't really help you with that.. sorry | 21:52 |
| theuser1 | Slart: which one do you recomend? | 21:53 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: see what they say in #ubuntu+1 about getting the RC now and putting that on, instead of waiting for final | 21:53 |
| More_Cowbell | !!! | 21:53 |
| theuser1 | Slart: is it slower by ssh? do i need ssh? | 21:53 |
| Noqq | sebsebseb, what could be the most major bug? Aslong as I got wireless internet and normal browsing on it I'm happy. I can wait till thursday that way. | 21:53 |
| phirestalker | could the error be a problem with the way they made the cdemu deb file? | 21:53 |
| Slart | theuser1: I've used realvnc, tightvnc and ultravnc at different times.. they all worked when I tried them | 21:53 |
| theuser1 | Slart: whats your favourit vnc? | 21:54 |
| guntbert | A_G1RL: questions don't waste nobodies time - ask away, if someone knows the answers you will get them | 21:54 |
| Slart | theuser1: I have no idea if running it over ssh will slow it down.. as I said.. I've never tried it myself | 21:54 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: can't really talk loads about 9.04 here, because it's meant to be suppourt for 8.10 and 8.04 this channel, however 9.04 get's it's own channel #ubuntu+1 where you can find out more about it | 21:54 |
| Slart | theuser1: the last one I used was ultravnc... I guess that counts as favourite perhaps | 21:54 |
| sebsebseb | Noqq: then once 9.04 is released on Thursday, this channel becomes 9.04 suppourt as well | 21:54 |
| Linuz2009 | Hi everyone | 21:54 |
| theuser1 | Slart: ok. i hope it has more options | 21:55 |
| theuser1 | Slart: which is most comonly used? | 21:55 |
| Linuz2009 | I had a issue about ubuntu 8.10 | 21:55 |
| acr0nym | anyone here familiar with mplayer + coreavc codec? | 21:55 |
| dotblank | !ask | 21:55 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:55 |
| Slart | theuser1: they all have some different options.. I have no idea of how many users each have | 21:55 |
| Linuz2009 | My computer can't seemed to play sounds | 21:55 |
| xangua | i use mplayer, what is corevac codec acr0nym ¿ | 21:56 |
| MHz128 | what is eog? | 21:56 |
| TheFunkbomb | Well, I cleaned out my computer. Heatsink was clogged with dust, smoking residue and hair | 21:56 |
| theuser1 | Slart: lastly. whose the faster and easier | 21:56 |
| TheFunkbomb | She seems to be running a bit cooler now | 21:56 |
| acr0nym | it's an extra codec that allows better support for x264 files | 21:56 |
| acr0nym | it works for me on windows...but trying to get it work on ubuntu now :) | 21:56 |
| acr0nym | I followed a guide but I'm a bit stuck | 21:57 |
| xangua | x264 files acr0nym ¿ | 21:57 |
| acr0nym | .mkv files | 21:57 |
| acr0nym | 720p video mainly | 21:57 |
| xangua | you just need to install the codecs of your distro acr0nym | 21:57 |
| Slart | theuser1: I have no idea.. you'll have to try them and see for yourself | 21:57 |
| acr0nym | xangua, the coreserv handles the mkv files better | 21:58 |
| acr0nym | without it the 720p video files won't run on my eee pc | 21:58 |
| acr0nym | not strong enough :) | 21:58 |
| dougl | eee = ? | 21:58 |
| theuser1 | Slart: ok | 21:58 |
| theuser1 | thx | 21:58 |
| xangua | acr0nym: have you tried with a repositorie called Medibuntu ¿? | 21:59 |
| acr0nym | I tried compiling it from source | 21:59 |
| acr0nym | medibuntu is too outdated | 21:59 |

| Flannel | mati_: -proposed isn't a good way to get the newest version. While yes, the binaries in the packages are newer, they're also untested. Also, the packages themselves are untested (or have incomplete dependencies, etc), and can cause trouble (even if the binaries themselves don't have issues). -proposed is a staging area for -updates. If you just wait for them to mvoe to updates, you'll have them only a few days later. | 22:42 |

| Brando753 | Someone help me to get my wifi card to work in ubuntu server using madwifi :P | 22:42 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: alright, and `dpkg -S /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu`? | 22:42 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: I assume there's something more to your question. Go ahead and expian the whole thing, that will allow us to help you. | 22:42 |

| Linuz2009 | well, I type in ~$ wget -O ~/Desktop/alsa-info.sh | 22:44 |
| pavi711 | can anyone please help | 22:44 |
| pavi711 | me | 22:44 |
| Flannel | !helpme | pavi711 | 22:44 |
| ubottu | pavi711: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Brando753: apparently its supported by that package, is there any way you could get hooked up to the web to get full updates | 22:44 |

| Linuz2009 | I typed commands in the terminal | 22:45 |
| allowoverride | whats with the explamation points !! ? | 22:45 |
| Brando753 | well im trying to connect to the interntet, currently no, i would use my laptop and ethernet cable to share internet connection but firestarter never works on my laptop | 22:45 |
| Linuz2009 | and it gave me access denied | 22:45 |
| allowoverride | irc command? | 22:45 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: Well, that's not very helpful. Alright, um... lets go with a pastebin of the output of `dpkg -l` | 22:46 |
| Linuz2009 | And I need to check the output of a amixer. | 22:46 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: If you're trying to access a file which isn't yours, run a command which requires superuser privilages, or something of the like, try using sudo before your command, and enter your password (assuming you have superuser privileges) | 22:46 |
| equuelus | how do i tell what version of ubuntu do i have running? | 22:47 |
| thebackwash | uname -a | 22:47 |
| thebackwash | equuelus: uname -a | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | equuelus: lsb_release -a | 22:47 |
| Linuz2009 | well I got stuck in the middle when someone helped me | 22:47 |
| equuelus | thebackwash, it doesn't tell me whether it is hardy or whatever.. | 22:47 |
| thebackwash | what version number is it? | 22:47 |
| MightyTweek | !version | equuelus | 22:47 |
| ubottu | equuelus: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 22:47 |
| jtholmes | equuelus, cat /etc/lsb-release | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | thebackwash: uname -a only shows kernel version | 22:47 |
| Linuz2009 | he need to go somewhere and tell me to go to this chat room if I got stuck | 22:47 |
| Flannel | equuelus: lsb_release -a | 22:48 |
| thebackwash | ActionPar: my bad | 22:48 |
| calwig | Hi guys, how exactly can I delete files from a certain range. i.e. DSC00001.JPG - DSC00052.JPG? | 22:48 |
| dylnuge | Linuz: Not quite sure what you mean by stuck in the middle. | 22:48 |
| equuelus | thanks | 22:48 |

| Brando753 | Someone help me to get my wifi card to work in ubuntu server using madwifi :P | 22:48 |
| ikonia | Brando753: a server using wifi ??? seems unusual | 22:48 |
| Brando753 | it is :P | 22:48 |
| user38214 | I'm trying to switch from DSL internet service to cable. My desktop fails to work with the cable, but my netbook works fine. Both are running Ubuntu 8.10, with the desktop on AMD64 and the netbook on i386. Both computers and the cablle and DSL modems are all plugged into the same router. What could be causing this? | 22:48 |
| zsquareplusc | calwig: you mean like selecting a range with shift key in nautlius? ;-) | 22:49 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: Hmm, this isn't all of it. Or, I would hope not. Try doing this: `dpkg -l > ~/Desktop/dpkg.txt` (and then open up that text file) | 22:49 |
| Linuz2009 | So my main issue is I can't play any sound in my computer | 22:49 |
| Linuz2009 | and I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 edition | 22:49 |
| ikonia | user38214: many things, maybe the nic on your desktop, maybe your router doesn't like having a switch in front of it, etc etc. | 22:49 |
| Linuz2009 | Desktop edition | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | user38214: if the systems are connected to the same router it will work as long as your systems have the correct ip information for your router | 22:50 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Ok. Double click the sound icon on your notification tray, and make sure it's not muted or at minimum volume first. | 22:50 |
| Brando753 | Someone help me to get my wifi card to work in ubuntu server using madwifi :P | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | user38214: dhcp from your router will sort this | 22:50 |
| zsquareplusc | calwig: and with {1..5} cou can do ranges in the bash | 22:50 |
| ikonia | !wifi > Brando753 | 22:50 |
| ubottu | Brando753, please see my private message | 22:50 |
| calwig | zsquareplusc: heh? | 22:50 |
| connex | hi, can someone help me setting up pulseaudio so it connects to a remote computer? | 22:50 |
| Linuz2009 | yeah its not muted | 22:51 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: That includes things like PCM or LFE if you have them there? | 22:51 |
| Linuz2009 | give me a sec | 22:51 |
| bad_cables | anyone know ffmpeg? | 22:51 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel http://paste.ubuntu.com/154331/ | 22:51 |
| zsquareplusc | calwig: like echo DSC{1..9} or isnt that what you want (with rm instead of echo)? | 22:52 |
| Linuz2009 | My PCM-2 and in-gain isn't muted | 22:52 |
| allowoverride | calwig: rm /wheverfilesare/DSC000[0-2].JPG | 22:52 |
| user38214 | ActionParsnip: I'm pretty clueless about networking. How do I make the dhcp thing happen? | 22:52 |
| bad_cables | i need to convert an audio file to .wav but i dont know what format it is in | 22:52 |
| calwig | allowoverride: mm ok | 22:52 |
| calwig | zsquareplusc: yeah to delete a certain range | 22:52 |
| allowoverride | enter range | 22:53 |
| bad_cables | it loads 600ms of garbage in audacity as wav, raw and mp3 | 22:53 |
| allowoverride | mmm ok | 22:53 |
| bad_cables | but it is 3mb | 22:53 |
| ``y7 | i know how to connet to my box via putty.exe by putting in the ip and port and the login/password, but how do i connect to it via terminal window? | 22:53 |
| Linuz2009 | dylnude: what do I have to do nect? | 22:53 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Is your sound daemon running? | 22:53 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: When you were on Dapper (which had FF1.5, did you manually upgrade to FF2 or anything like that? | 22:53 |
| Linuz2009 | what's daemon? | 22:53 |
| papachungo13 | no | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | user38214: sudo ip addr flush dev eth0 && sudo ip link set eth0 down && sudo ip link set eth0 up && sudo /sbin/dhclient eth0 | 22:53 |
| allowoverride | calwig: do a cp first then of course you know it will work with rm | 22:53 |
| connex | hi, can someone help me setting up pulseaudio so it connects to a remote computer? | 22:54 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: I'm not a sound expert, so I'm looking into it on my own computer, sorry. | 22:54 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel no | 22:54 |
| Linuz2009 | it's okay | 22:54 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Daemon is a program which does automated tasks. I think it's pulseaudio on Ubuntu, that might be something else though. | 22:54 |
| wilhart | does anyone use soundblaster audigy 2 zs ? | 22:54 |
| Linuz2009 | I'm using Analog Devices AD1981B (OSS Mixer) | 22:54 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Run top or open System Monitor and look for it there. | 22:54 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: Well, unfortunately, I can't figure out (except for something outside of package management) why you'd still have firefox installed. | 22:54 |
| calwig | allowoverride: ok | 22:55 |
| bad_cables | anyone know how to convert a shockwave flash audio file to wav? | 22:55 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel I don't recall doing that, not even close to being able to do that without the package manager | 22:55 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel so is there a way to get rid of it? | 22:55 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: What errors do you get if you try and install `firefox`? | 22:55 |
| Linuz2009 | dylnude: nope I didn't see it? | 22:55 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: sudo apt-get install firefox | 22:55 |
| Linuz2009 | do you mean the system file? | 22:55 |
| bad_cables | papachungo13: you want to get rid of firefox browser? | 22:56 |
| Linuz2009 | /dev/sda1 | 22:56 |
| user38214 | ActionParsnip: Thanks! That did the trick. | 22:56 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 22:56 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | user38214: np man, your old IP info was for your OLD config | 22:56 |
| Linuz2009 | Dylnude: did you found it yet? | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | user38214: if you have static ips defined, they will need revising | 22:57 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel no errors, it installs fine, but when I run, the 2.0.0.4 version appears | 22:57 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: No, I mean a program. Check if pulseaudio is running and if not try starting it. | 22:57 |
| papachungo13 | bad_cables I want to get rid of v2.0.0.4 | 22:57 |
| Linuz2009 | Dylnude: yeah its running | 22:58 |
| bad_cables | papachungo13: you are using ubuntu with a gui and all that? | 22:58 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: It's dylnuGe, by the way. | 22:58 |
| papachungo13 | bad_cables I'm using 8.10 with gnome | 22:58 |
| Linuz2009 | dylnuGe: okay then what? | 22:58 |
| bad_cables | papachungo13: then open synaptic and uninstall it | 22:58 |
| === calypso is now known as zicho | ||
| bad_cables | papachungo13: then install Dillo =) | 22:59 |
| papachungo13 | bad_cables we've gone past that suggestion already, thanks | 22:59 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: I didn't mean you had to capitalize the G, just correcting your spelling of my name. Try killing pulseaudio and restarting it. | 22:59 |
| allowoverride | anyone, how can i cause dhcp server to only dull ip's to macs i define? anyone do this before? i dont want to a rouge dhcp server on the network for any length of time? thanks... pm me if you like, prolly better | 22:59 |
| papachungo13 | except for the Dillo part | 22:59 |
| bad_cables | papachungo13: what's wrong with Dillo??? | 22:59 |
| papachungo13 | whatever that is | 22:59 |
| Linuz2009 | dylnuge: you mean restart the computer? | 22:59 |
| papachungo13 | bad_cables Don't know what Dillo is, so I can't comment | 23:00 |
| allowoverride | i would also like to see someone's dhcp.conf if they have done this before. thanks! | 23:00 |
| giovanni_ | giovanni | 23:00 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel I ran the install but 2.0.0.4 cam up when I clicked the icon | 23:00 |
| tgr_ | hi is there an internet browser that is less cpu heavy than firefox? | 23:00 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Nope, just pulseaudio | 23:01 |
| Linuz2009 | how can I do that? | 23:01 |
| DigitalKiwi | tgr_: yeah, but they suck ._. | 23:01 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Do pulseaudio --k and then pulseaudio at the command line. | 23:01 |
| tgr_ | DigitalKiwi not good to hear haha is seamonkey any less cpu heavy? | 23:01 |
| knoxy | hi all.. Im trying to connect using pppoeconf but the "plog" says "Remote message: Connection not allowed:Entry not found for key 'internet@speedy ... When I try using Windows XP the connection works... How can I do to fix it? | 23:01 |
| DigitalKiwi | don't know | 23:01 |
| Dante123 | hi all, for some weird reason (after kids were on my computer) whenever I try to maximize a window it doesnt actually maximize it. It does get bigger but only fills half the screen. Any ideas what the little beggars might have done??? | 23:02 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Or go into system monitor and right click it, kill it, then press Alt-F2, type in pulseaudio. | 23:02 |
| Brando753 | ok i got my wifi card up in ubuntu server how do i connect to a network? | 23:02 |
| tgr_ | anyone use xfce on ubuntu? is it really lighter like they say? last time i used it i had a lot of package conflicts i didn't know how to fix | 23:02 |
| ienorand | calwig: for i in {1..60}; do rm file00$i; done | 23:02 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: What does `apt-cache policy firefox` output? | 23:02 |
| Linuz2009 | okay I press ALT F2 and enter pulse audio | 23:02 |
| thebackwash | tgr: i like fluxbox for a light desktop | 23:02 |
| Dante123 | Brando753 right click on the network mangler icon in the corner and see what networks show us (ssid's) | 23:02 |
| gb-or | Flare183, I think I got it right, it was some temp hardware issue I guess. I unplugged and plugged the screen to the pc and it suddently worked :) | 23:03 |
| thebackwash | tgr_: i run gnome-panel with fluxbox | 23:03 |
| Brando753 | this is ubuntu server, there is no gui | 23:03 |
| tgr_ | lately my laptop has been overheating due to azurues and virtualbox running and it never happened before so i am wondering what is going on | 23:03 |
| Linuz2009 | dylnuge: what next? | 23:03 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Did you kill the current process first? | 23:03 |
| Flare183 | gb-or: That's great! | 23:03 |
| Linuz2009 | yeah | 23:03 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: If so, it should work now. | 23:03 |
| knoxy | hi all.. Im trying to connect using pppoeconf but the "plog" says "Remote message: Connection not allowed:Entry not found for key 'internet@speedy ... When I try using Windows XP the connection works... How can I do to fix it? | 23:03 |
| tgr_ | thebackwash is that faster? | 23:03 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ it is lighter, but I wonder how much more....anyway there is also LXDE you can try...which is truly lighter | 23:03 |
| Lyth | Where can I find a list of FOSS linux games? | 23:03 |
| gb-or | Flare183, for next time... ;p | 23:03 |
| Linuz2009 | you mean I could hear sounds? | 23:03 |
| thebackwash | tgr_: probably just because they're really cpu-intensive, and your laptop can't keep its processors pegged at 100% | 23:03 |
| LjL | !games > lyth (lyth, see the private message from ubottu) | 23:03 |
| Brando753 | i need a comand line to connect to a ESSD network | 23:03 |
| LjL | Lyth: also google "linux game tome" | 23:03 |
| thebackwash | tgr_: perhaps there were software thermal controls w/ windows which don't run under linux | 23:04 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: After restarting the daemon, yes. Try it now. | 23:04 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel http://paste.ubuntu.com/154337/ | 23:04 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ how do you know that it is due to those two applications? | 23:04 |
| Lyth | Thanks | 23:04 |
| Linuz2009 | how can I try it? | 23:04 |
| thebackwash | tgr_: that would be a really shitty way to design a laptop, but it's certainly a possibility | 23:04 |
| starcannon | tgr whens last time you shot the cooling exhaust and intake ports with some canned air? I blow them out at least once a week to keep dust, dog hair, whatevers cleared out of the heat sink fins | 23:04 |
| tgr_ | dante123 it doesn't happen any other time | 23:04 |
| Linuz2009 | you know to see if I can hear sounds. | 23:04 |
| Dante123 | Brando753 oh well, then you are on your own. I have no idea | 23:04 |
| Sniper606 | The xubuntu 9.04 release candidate with the ext4 file system is absolutely amazing. It works so perfect and its blazingly fast! Does anyone know of a good bench marking program I can install to give it a good test? | 23:04 |
| thebackwash | tgr_: and, yes fluxbox is really fast | 23:04 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Run a program that makes sound. Go to youtube and watch a video or something. | 23:04 |
| Brando753 | i need a comand line to connect to a ESSD network, the network is Superlink1 | 23:04 |
| ienorand | Sniper606: phoronix | 23:04 |
| Linuz2009 | alright be right back | 23:04 |
| Dante123 | Lyth playdeb website...google it | 23:05 |
| Sniper606 | alright i will check it out | 23:05 |
| Lyth | thank you | 23:05 |
| thebackwash | maybe someone could answer for me: besides xcompmgr, what ways are there to get window compositing on fluxbox? | 23:05 |
| bad_cables | RATBOY | 23:05 |
| thebackwash | before i recommend it to tgr_ | 23:05 |
| tgr_ | the overheating only happens when i have those programs running | 23:05 |
| Lyth | Any recommondations | 23:05 |
| tgr_ | before it was transmission | 23:05 |
| ratboy | bad_cables, Hey | 23:05 |
| Linuz2009 | nope sorry still can't heat anything | 23:05 |
| Dante123 | hi all, for some weird reason (after kids were on my computer) whenever I try to maximize a window it doesnt actually maximize it. It does get bigger but only fills half the screen. Any ideas what the little beggars might have done??? | 23:06 |
| tgr_ | when i upgrade this week should i use the ext4 over ext3? | 23:06 |
| Linuz2009 | dylnuge: then what? | 23:06 |
| zer0o | hi is there a combination of keys to recall the "process table"? in case an application gets stuck, is there a ctrl + alt + canc like it was for win? thanks | 23:06 |
| Lyth | Drag out the side thats too small | 23:06 |
| shiznebit | Dante123: try rebooting | 23:06 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Try rebooting, that will restart all of the daemons, kill any programs which might be blocking the sound from working, etc. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably a hardware problem, unless the daemon itself has been corrupted, and you should check out the connections between your computer and your speakers. | 23:06 |
| Dante123 | shiznebit did that, and the problem persists on reboot | 23:07 |
| tgr_ | that is why i was asking because my laptop was fine when i first got it but lately if i run azureus and virtualbox it shuts off | 23:07 |
| thebackwash | zer0o: try hitting ctl-alt-f1 to get a login shell | 23:07 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Patience would help too, I don't type at 1000 wpm. | 23:07 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: Alright, close the other firefox, and then run firefox-3.0, does it bring up 3.0? | 23:07 |
| thebackwash | zer0o: then type top -u for a list of all applications | 23:07 |
| tgr_ | before it shut down also if the wifi signal was week and the madwifi driver + wifi card had to search a lot for it | 23:07 |
| Brando753 | Someone help me to get my wifi card to work in ubuntu server using madwifi :P I got the card up and can see my network i just need to know how to connect to the secure network | 23:07 |
| Linuz2009 | where can I go to check the connection between the sound speaker? | 23:07 |
| zer0o | thebackwash: and then what? what do i do with a shell? i need to open the ksysguard | 23:07 |
| starcannon | tgr sounds like its overheating, does the heatsink need the dust and dander blown out with some canned air? | 23:07 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ lappy just shuts down all on its own? | 23:07 |
| tgr_ | yeah it overheats and shuts off | 23:07 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: That's the physical hardware. Like what's plugged into your computer. Reboot first. | 23:08 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Read the whole thing I said. | 23:08 |
| thebackwash | zer0o: if something's pegging your cpu, and you're stuck the terminal is a little more reliable | 23:08 |
| tgr_ | i used to get a caps lock blinking but it just gets really hot now and shuts off if azureus and virtualbox are running | 23:08 |
| Lyth | How do I remove something from the applications menu | 23:08 |
| Linuz2009 | there's nothing plugged in my computer except the adapter which is for charging. | 23:08 |
| thebackwash | zer0o: the offending process id number should be towards the left. hit 'q' to exit top, and kill #PROCESSNUMBER# to kill the process | 23:08 |
| thebackwash | zer0o: then hit ctl-alt-f7 to get back to the gui | 23:09 |

| shiznebit | Dante123: i had the samething happen but that was because a game crashed leaving natulius and gnome in a horrendous mess | 23:09 |
| Brando753 | Someone help me to get my wifi card to work in ubuntu server using madwifi :P I got the card up and can see my network i just need to know how to connect to the secure network | 23:09 |
| Lyth | xanguaL I don't have that | 23:09 |
| dylnuge | Linuz2009: Reboot first. Your speakers are either internal or somehow connected to your computer. If it's a hardware problem on internal speakers, and if *rebooting doesn't work,* try plugging in external speakers or headphones, and see if they work. | 23:09 |
| thebackwash | zer0o: there's probably also a way to set a custom key chord to launch ksysguard | 23:09 |
| Lyth | nvm | 23:09 |
| Lyth | thanks | 23:10 |
| Linuz2009 | alright I'll be restarting my computer and if it doesn't work then I'll be back. | 23:10 |
| Veinor | Can anyone recommend me a way to make full-hard-drive backups? | 23:10 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel that does bring up 3.0.8, thanks | 23:10 |
| zer0o | thebackwash: found it, its CTRL ESC | 23:10 |
| Linuz2009 | Can I add you dylnuge? | 23:10 |
| celthunder | veinor depends what you have available ....and the size of the drive | 23:10 |
| Dante123 | Brando753 try googling the commands if no one steps forward with the solution. Try http://blog.tplus1.com/index.php/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/ | 23:10 |
| Roasted | If I boot up to a custom LiveCD I made iwth remastersys and I get a prompt (initramfs) with no GUI - what do I do? | 23:10 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel so how do I erase 2.0.0.4? | 23:10 |
| Linuz2009 | so I can contact you back? | 23:10 |
| Veinor | celthunder: I have a 1 TB external to back stuff up to, and my internal is only 150 GB | 23:10 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel and get this to the the default Firefox? | 23:10 |
| thebackwash | zer0o: failing the gui method, what i told you is a fallback | 23:10 |
| tgr_ | thebackwash: what are you using for running as irc client? i am using gnome xchat | 23:10 |
| Dante123 | shiznebit, yes, but I have rebooted and the problem persists....any other ideas? | 23:11 |

| dylnuge | Linuz2009: I'll still be in #ubuntu when you return. Your buddy list is probably a specific feature of your client. | 23:11 |
| shiznebit | Dante123: try makeing a new user and see if that works correctly ? | 23:11 |
| tgr_ | thebackwash is that how people type ids and send messages so quickly or do i have to type peoples id: when i reply? | 23:11 |

| thebackwash | tgr_: actually someone else just told me that you can type the beginning of someone's handle, and hit tab and it will autocomplete | 23:12 |
| Dante123 | shiznebit is there anything that controls how windows work....I'm thinking one of the kids clicked and changed something that way | 23:12 |
| Veinor | celthunder: / and /home are on separate partitions, do i have to tell it to back up both at the same time? | 23:12 |
| thebackwash | tgr_: don't know if that will work in xchat | 23:12 |
| tgr_ | yeah it does thanks thebackwash | 23:12 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ is this a ubuntu only pc.....or do you have windows dual boot? | 23:12 |
| theunixgeek | If I may: http://theunixgeek.wordpress.com/2009/04/19/the-current-state-of-linux-distros/ :) | 23:12 |
| tgr_ | Dante123 ubuntu only | 23:13 |
| JetskiDude911 | Hey every one :) | 23:13 |
| celthunder | veinor yeah you'll have to do that...but shouldnt be hard and im pretty sure thats command line (never used it so not sure if it even works) cron should be able to start it at specified times and backup at night or whatever | 23:13 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: link /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 | 23:13 |
| Veinor | celthunder: Cool, thanks | 23:13 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: when i run virtualbox and azureus it gets screwed up i installed madwifi customized driver before when the net signal went out it would overheat and shutdown also | 23:13 |
| shiznebit | Dante123: gconf-editor, thats really all i know. But i got no clue how kids would figure that sort of thing out | 23:13 |
| === dylnuge is now known as dylnuge|away | ||
| Geekneeus | :-) | 23:14 |
| harrisony | somethings hammering my hard drive, how would i find out what app it is | 23:14 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ okay. I was wondering if the problem occured on windows side at all....but you only have ubuntu. What about if you boot from livecd....do you still get the same thing happening? Also, you could try the virtualbox channel for help...maybe they know if there is an issue....also are u running latest version of vbox and azareus?? | 23:14 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: it would happen also when i was running Transmission but i think it is a network card driver issue with wifi when i use ethernet cable it doesn't happen like before like i said now it just gets really hot and shuts off | 23:14 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: yes i am | 23:15 |
| thebackwash | shiznebit: I think gconf-editor is just a gui interface to a bunch of files contained in ~/.gnome | 23:15 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: could it be any problem with the fact i have an amd64 processor and am runnnig i386 ubuntu and packages? | 23:15 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: that is what was advised to me before | 23:15 |
| zsquareplusc | thebackwash: yes and no. it communicates with the gnome settinges daemon by default | 23:15 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: to run i386 due to compatability issues | 23:15 |
| shiznebit | Dante123: System -> Preferences -> Windows | 23:16 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ hmm...that is a good question. Again, I would try the vbox channel. Guy names erstazi is particularly knowledgable and helpful if he is on | 23:16 |
| Veinor | celthunder: Also, should I format the drive to be ext3 or ext4? | 23:16 |
| Brando753 | Someone help me to get my wifi card to work in ubuntu server using madwifi :P I got the card up and can see my network i just need to know how to connect to the secure network, i couldnt get it to work on the past document | 23:16 |
| tgr_ | ok will check | 23:16 |
| thebackwash | Dante123: are you german (slightly off-topic, sorry) | 23:16 |
| starcannon | tgr_ 32bit Ubuntu won't cause your 64bit cpu to overheat, I think the first thing to do is the simple thing, blow the dust out of the heatsinks. | 23:16 |
| Linuz2009 | Hi | 23:16 |
| Linuz2009 | I reboot my computer | 23:17 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel http://paste.ubuntu.com/154348/ | 23:17 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel what did I type incorrectly? | 23:17 |
| celthunder | veinor depends...ext4 is a lot faster or so im told anyway....either should be fine though | 23:17 |
| Linuz2009 | and it seemed that the sound is haves it issue | 23:17 |
| tgr_ | starcannon: thanks for the info you guys are awesome | 23:17 |
| Dante123 | thebackwash, hmm...what makes you think that? And btw, no I am not...although I speak a little. I am an American Newfie (dual citizen of canada and us) | 23:17 |
| Linuz2009 | My computer's speaker might be corrupted | 23:18 |
| thebackwash | Dante123: just the way you phrased something, if you're curious we'd take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:18 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ I think you may be onto something....with fact with the 32 bit packages under 64 bit | 23:18 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: do you think that was good advice? | 23:19 |
| nadan | how do i install ubuntu with an inode size of 128 instead of 256? | 23:19 |
| celthunder | papachungo13, take out the word to | 23:19 |
| Linuz2009 | my sound isn't playing | 23:19 |
| tgr_ | Dante123: when i was using amd 64 before the packages were not being compatible | 23:20 |
| Linuz2009 | I watch a video and I can't seemed to hear it from my laptop | 23:20 |
| papachungo13 | thanks celthunder tried that and it said it can't create link because file exists | 23:20 |
| Dante123 | tgr_ I have not bit the 64bit bullet yet. And I am wary of it ...but others say all is good. Who knows? | 23:20 |
| celthunder | papachungo13, then delete the destination file before making a link | 23:20 |
| Linuz2009 | hello? anyone? | 23:20 |
| Lyth | How do I make an executable runnable | 23:20 |
| Dante123 | thebackwash see private IM | 23:20 |
| twobitsp1ite | howdy | 23:20 |
| papachungo13 | celthunder where is this destination file that you speak of? | 23:21 |
| unop | Lyth, an executable is runnable .. do you want to execute it? | 23:21 |
| celthunder | papachungo13, the second one | 23:21 |
| tgr_ | i am trying to install this theme how do i do it in ubuntu? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yakano+-Colors-?content=95885 | 23:21 |
| Lyth | Yes | 23:21 |
| zsquareplusc | Lyth: like chmod a+x your file? (setting the excute bit) | 23:21 |
| Lyth | When I click on it nothing happens | 23:21 |
| celthunder | Dante123, whats wrong with 64 bit...and no it wouldnt cause your computer to overheat.... | 23:21 |
| twobitsp1ite | I am trying to active the radeon proprietary driver, but it doesn't want to | 23:21 |
| Linuz2009 | hello, I have a issue, if anyone is available please respond. | 23:21 |
| celthunder | twobitsp1ite, what does it say when you try? | 23:21 |
| twobitsp1ite | it keeps saying "this driver is not activated" | 23:21 |
| tgr_ | celthunder: i am running i386 packages on amd64 due to advice and lately my computer has been overheating | 23:22 |
| twobitsp1ite | it doesn't do anything when I click the "activate" button | 23:22 |
| celthunder | Linuz2009, does your laptop recognize your sound card, do you have alsa or oss loaded | 23:22 |
| unop | Lyth, try invoking it at a terminal i.e. /path/to/file | 23:22 |
| zsquareplusc | Lyth: oh, in that case 'd open a termnial and try running it there. that way you will see error messages | 23:22 |
| Ben90 | unko? | 23:22 |
| Lyth | how do I run in a terminal | 23:22 |
| unko | yo | 23:22 |
| Ben90 | i'm back. | 23:22 |
| unko | how did it go? | 23:22 |
| tgr_ | starcannon: i have a cool mat that i bought for 60 on amazon that puts a lot of airflow in it may be the issue but not sure | 23:22 |
| unop | Lyth, just type the full name of the file | 23:22 |
| Linuz2009 | celthunder: I don't know | 23:22 |
| Lyth | It says command not found | 23:22 |
| celthunder | tgr you really dont gain anythign by using 32 bit packages...dont know why you were advised too... does your computer bios have fan control? try setting it on maximum all the time | 23:22 |
| Ben90 | unko, i'll pm you. | 23:22 |
| unko | ok | 23:22 |
| Linuz2009 | I don't even know that it had a soundcard | 23:23 |
| ramiro | hi | 23:23 |
| Linuz2009 | it was removed..........I think when installing Ubuntu | 23:23 |
| celthunder | Linuz2009, then dont expect sound if you dont have sound | 23:23 |
| twobitsp1ite | celthunder: I don't see anything in dmesg | 23:23 |
| unop | Lyth, by full name, i mean the complete directory too. if the file exists in a directory named /home/lyth then you call it by /home/lyth/file | 23:23 |
| Linuz2009 | so where can I install one | 23:23 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 /usr/bin/firefox | 23:23 |
| ramiro | has gcc 4.4 rc1 been built for ubuntu already? (as in can I apt-get install it?). if so how do I enable the experimental branch it's probably sitting on? | 23:23 |
| starcannon | tgr_ i have a bunch of laptops and its been my number one issue is keeping them cool, I never used one of the lap coolers. Just a can of canned air about $6.50 u.s. at any wal-mart or equivalent | 23:23 |
| celthunder | Linuz2009, ...your laptop came wihtou a sound card? get a usb one | 23:24 |
| Linuz2009 | my computer manufacturer? | 23:24 |
| Linuz2009 | Nope | 23:24 |
| Dante123 | celthunder I never said there was anything wrong with 64 bit, I just havent tried it myself and I have heard different things both pro and con. | 23:24 |
| lyaunzbe | Hey guys. Is anyone here running ubuntu on a macbook pro? | 23:24 |
| Linuz2009 | I think that I had to installed one | 23:24 |
| starcannon | tgr_ I blow out the heatsinks about once a week, the first time i ever did it, I was amazed how much dust and hair and other debris came out | 23:24 |
| celthunder | Dante123, only con is your system might use morem emory than necessary for tiny apps ... but since most systems have between 4-16 gb of ram now...kinda pointless to care about a few kb | 23:24 |
| Linuz2009 | but my archive manager doesn't seem to let me open files.........I don't know if I installed on will it able to opened it. | 23:25 |
| tgr_ | starcannon: i will buy one asap thanks | 23:25 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel it says file exists, and when I tried to delete it I have a permission denied | 23:25 |
| celthunder | linuz do you have audio ports at all anywhere? | 23:25 |
| celthunder | twobitsp1ite, what radeon card do you have? | 23:25 |
| Linuz2009 | audio ports? | 23:25 |
| thebackwash | tgr_: are you in the USA? staples is running a free "PC Tuneup" until July 4. If you don't have compressed air, one of the things they do is dust it out with compressed air. might save you a couple bucks | 23:25 |
| starcannon | tgr_ anytime | 23:25 |
| twobitsp1ite | celthunder: 4670 | 23:25 |
| Veinor | Man, making a new ext4 partition is taking a while. | 23:26 |
| Linuz2009 | you mean a head phone? | 23:26 |
| tgr_ | thebackwash: thanks that is great | 23:26 |
| Veinor | It does take longer with bigger HDs, right? | 23:26 |
| Linuz2009 | yeah I do have a port that connects with a eat phone | 23:26 |
| celthunder | Linuz2009, that would be sound...wouldnt it? if you have internal onboard sound it would look like a headphone jack usually | 23:26 |
| twobitsp1ite | ext4? | 23:26 |
| celthunder | Veinor, yeah | 23:26 |
| Veinor | oh, OK. | 23:26 |
| unop | ramiro, looks like it will debut in 'karmic koala' - but I wouldn't suggest installing beta packages on your system rather build it from source | 23:26 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: add a -f | 23:26 |
| Linuz2009 | but even though I use my ear phone i still can't hear any sound. | 23:27 |
| celthunder | wait Veinor your making the partition? making a partition should be like instant | 23:27 |
| celthunder | Veinor, making the partition doesnt actually change very much itself.... | 23:27 |

| Linuz2009 | let me check | 23:27 |
| ramiro | unop: I'm doing that, just wanted to know if there was a pre-built package that I could easily apt-get remove afterwards... | 23:28 |
| TheFunkbomb | Who can I help? | 23:28 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: You'll need to use sudo. | 23:28 |
| unop | ramiro, you can use checkinstall or some other means to build a debian package - actually, this is recommended | 23:28 |
| Linuz2009 | I use analog devices, no its not muted | 23:28 |
| ramiro | unop: hmm, never done that. is it as simple as make checkinstall or something? | 23:29 |
| lyaunzbe | So nobody uses mac and ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel It's all good now!! | 23:29 |
| thebackwash | lyaunzbe: i do | 23:29 |
| ramiro | lyaunzbe: last year I tried on a macbook (not pro) and it sucked. | 23:29 |
| thebackwash | lyaunzbe: you mean ubuntu installed on the mac hardware? | 23:29 |
| unop | ramiro, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall | 23:29 |
| Linuz2009 | nope its not muted | 23:29 |
| ramiro | lyaunzbe: head ache to find the drivers, hard disk failures, wireless stopped working randomly... | 23:29 |
| thebackwash | lyaunzbe: cuz that i don't. i have ubuntu in a virtual machine | 23:29 |
| ramiro | thebackwash: same thing I'm doing =) | 23:29 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel will this still be a problem if/when a new Firefox package comes out (will I have a problem upgrading)? | 23:30 |
| Linuz2009 | I use OSS mixer as a device | 23:30 |
| lyaunzbe | no i mean mac hardware | 23:30 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel or when I move to the new Ubuntu in a few days? | 23:30 |
| twobitsp1ite | ew... looks like the xorg-driver-fglrx package is broken :( | 23:30 |
| celthunder | twobitsp1ite, what happens when you use ati's installer? | 23:30 |
| thebackwash | ramiro: you know that you can get a composited desktop without hardware 3d support? | 23:30 |
| lyaunzbe | for some reason, If i suspend the machine, I can't unsuspend it. | 23:30 |

| twobitsp1ite | I was told it was better to use ubuntu's system | 23:31 |

| kindofabuzz | Veinor, journaling takes up space | 23:31 |
| celthunder | twobitsp1ite, it is... | 23:31 |
| Veinor | Ah, yeah, journaling. | 23:31 |
| thebackwash | Veinor: that's normal | 23:31 |
| ramiro | unop: do I have to install some 32-bit something package? I just want 64-bit binaries (both to run and to compile for) | 23:31 |
| lyaunzbe | Everything else actually works flawlessly | 23:31 |
| celthunder | Veinor, look up basic things like 1024!=1000 and journals and etc...thatll lose a lot of it | 23:31 |
| unop | ramiro, you compiling just gcc ? | 23:31 |
| ramiro | thebackwash: what's a composited desktop? | 23:31 |
| twobitsp1ite | I'm surprised the package is broken... this is a fresh install and I haven't touched the sources.list | 23:31 |

| ramiro | unop: I've already compiled a bunch of cross-compilers on this machine | 23:32 |
| thebackwash | Veinor: when you by a hard drive, you're always looking at less capacity reported by the os than on the box, because as celthunder said, 1 kb/mb/gb/tb reported as 1000 bytes is different from 1024 bytes | 23:32 |
| Linuz2009 | hello? | 23:32 |
| Veinor | thebackwash: No no no, I already accounted for that | 23:32 |
| unop | Veinor, extX reserves a certain percentage (5%) of blocks for the superuser -- see the mkfs.ext4 manpage | 23:32 |

| celthunder | boo-boo im sure someone does | 23:34 |
| twobitsp1ite | celthunder: restart? why would I have to restart? | 23:34 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: It shouldn't, because the new one will putthe binary in /usr/bin/firefox, but it ... certainly is something that should be tracked down to the root cause. | 23:34 |
| twobitsp1ite | ok, I'll try | 23:34 |
| celthunder | twobitsp1ite, if you did the updates...there was a kernel update...and a few other things....that need a restart | 23:34 |

| Linuz2009 | celthunder: never figure out that before | 23:35 |
| celthunder | Linuz2009, if you arent using something to send sound to your headphones...its not gonna play sound...so im assuming you are using SOMETHING | 23:36 |
| Linuz2009 | celtunder: I thought it automatically assigned me a device that can play sound when I install Ubuntu | 23:36 |
| Linuz2009 | well I don't hear any sound. | 23:37 |
| celthunder | Linuz2009, do you have something running thats trying to play sound? | 23:37 |
| Linuz2009 | yeah, a coupe | 23:37 |
| ramiro | unop: trying... | 23:37 |
| Linuz2009 | I mean a couple | 23:38 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel http://paste.ubuntu.com/154352/ | 23:38 |
| Linuz2009 | I click auto-detect under sound events/music and videos | 23:38 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: You *did* install firefox manually. | 23:38 |
| hipitihop | I have a new dell Studio XPS running Intrepid and can't get sound profile to cut internal speakers when headphones are plugged in, any suggestions | 23:38 |
| SlAiD | hey | 23:38 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel I did? When? | 23:39 |
| Linuz2009 | but when I click test it I can't heat any sound | 23:39 |
| SlAiD | my right num keyboard is not working on a fresh ubuntu | 23:39 |
| SlAiD | how can I proceed to make it work ? | 23:39 |
| SlAiD | numpad, I mean | 23:39 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: I have no idea. But that last line (mozilla-firefox -> /opt/firefox/firefox) shows that you did. You likely followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion And that page has a "removal" section. | 23:39 |
| Flannel | papachungo13: Follow the instructions there, except you don't really need to worry about the profile stuff | 23:40 |
| guy_ad | Hooray | 23:40 |
| Linuz2009 | celthunder: I use analog devices as a mixer | 23:40 |
| papachungo13 | Flannel probably a friend familiar with Ubuntu did it some time ago | 23:40 |

| celthunder | Linuxn00b, then google before running stupid commands better yet go back to windows or mac or whatever if you dont know what rm is you probably shouldnt be near a computer | 23:47 |
| thebackwash | Linuxn00b: you can't tell me that doesn't work | 23:47 |
| unop | thebackwash, probably too late now | 23:47 |
| stinger | Linuxn00b, if you really ran that command, then hopefully you'll quit soon. so, if you are a troll, then bye. | 23:47 |
| Linuxn00b | I clicked on the terminal - it says gnome-terminal not found!!! | 23:47 |

| shiznebit | Linuxn00b your right you do need help | 23:52 |
| darkpixel | serious help | 23:52 |
| android6011 | I know all the theoretical benefits of 64 vs 32 bit, but real world use, will i really notice a difference | 23:52 |
| Linuxn00b | Ok, I did the killall thing, and it said "bash: killall: command not found" | 23:52 |
| Linuz2009 | I have issues with hearing sound in mu computer | 23:52 |
| Linuxn00b | Is that good or bad | 23:52 |
| LjL | android6011: nah | 23:52 |
| stinger | that command does erase your harddrive, and on ubuntu it usually gives you a serious warning before it lets you go through it | 23:52 |
| stinger | Linuxn00b that is bad | 23:52 |
| Sniper606 | What is everyones opinion on the stability of ext4 right now? | 23:52 |
| LjL | android6011: only obvious things like not being able to use more than 3-ish gigs of ram on 32-bit | 23:52 |
| Linuxn00b | Oh | 23:52 |
| Flannel | Sniper606: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. | 23:52 |
| Linuxn00b | What has happened! | 23:52 |
| Sniper606 | im not seeking support | 23:53 |
| thebackwash | Linuxn00b: if you were absolutely serious about having run that command, then disregard everyone telling you to you're a jack---. if not, you ARE a jack--- for wasting our time | 23:53 |
| LjL | Linuxn00b: you have lost your system. congratulations. now reinstall. | 23:53 |
| android6011 | LjL, thats what I thought | 23:53 |
| Linuz2009 | I can't heat anything sound in my computer........ so reply me back if you're available | 23:53 |
| ramiro | android6011: yes, there will be a difference. for example multimedia will benefit from 64-bit operations. | 23:53 |
| stinger | Linuxn00b... you have to reinstall | 23:53 |
| Linuxn00b | I can't reinstall I don't have the disk | 23:53 |

| Linuxn00b | I read to enter that command on linuxforums.com | 23:54 |
| Sniper606 | I have 2 gigs of ram, is 3 gigs of swap enough? xubuntu 9.04 rc1, it runs fine. | 23:54 |
| Linuz2009 | you mean setting all of it to ALSA | 23:54 |
| stinger | Linuxn00b see if you can download and burn a new ISO | 23:54 |

| stinger | Linuxn00b No, you will not. | 23:57 |
| LjL | Linuxn00b: maybe, depends whether the command had time to touch your /home directory. i cannot know that in advance, before you reboot from a CD. | 23:57 |
| thebackwash | Linuxn00b: unplug your computer, take it to a local computer store and tell then what you did. the longer you leave your computer on, the less likely you'll be able to get them back | 23:57 |
