| phoenixz | Right, gottit.. My X was hanging again, had to reboot.. After reboot I got the X error "EE open /dev/fb0 No such file or directory".. I selected "Start in low graphics mode for one time" which brought me to a text prompt, very nice.. So I rebooted, got same error, selected "Make new X config", had to reboot again, AGAIN got the same error, selected "Start in low graphics mode for one time" which finally got X started.. Any ideas on this one? | 00:00 |
| thomatwork | stefg - 8) - of course. LOL | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | amnesiauk: the file you are trying to execute doesnt exist | 00:00 |
| nikkiclau | ActionParsnip: probably /media/cdrom0 which has a /media/cdrom symbolic link | 00:00 |
| amnesiauk | sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 | 00:00 |
| amnesiauk | lol that's what it said on the ubuntu page but mkay | 00:01 |
| amnesiauk | I'll try cdrom | 00:01 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: try gksu "/media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | amnesiauk: then you want: gksudo sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade | 00:01 |
| amnesiauk | already tried that | 00:01 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: try gksu "sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" even* | 00:01 |
| h00k | rafael: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree, and then reinstall it...try that. | 00:01 |
| rafael | h00k gotit | 00:01 |
| amnesiauk | nvm | 00:01 |
| amnesiauk | it's working now dunno why:p | 00:02 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: :) | 00:02 |
| soreau | Hey, when I try to mount ntfs in ubuntu, it says that the ntfs signature is missing and it failed to mount. How can I mount ntfs in ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| amnesiauk | sorry | 00:02 |
| fevel | signature? | 00:02 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: np mate | 00:02 |
| amnesiauk | I tried /media between quotes | 00:02 |
| thomatwork | I have been stoked w/ JJ - built a "live usb stick" using unetbootin-windows-323.exe on my XP box at work - did the JJ install 64bit on my lenovo thinkpad at home, pretty much on boot up, I could watch hulu, remote into Windows servers using LogMeIn.com and anything else I needed. Freaking love it. | 00:02 |

| amnesiauk | but do you guys seriously remember al those commands in linux:P? | 00:02 |
| k1rbsah | yes | 00:03 |
| k1rbsah | use then enough and you will | 00:03 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: i've been called "the rainman" when i'm fixing computers | 00:03 |
| nikkiclau | ;-) | 00:03 |
| fevel | they are user friendly to remember | 00:03 |
| tilinho | Hi, I need help. So, I can't to start ubuntu, I don't know, flash caps lock and scroll lock. Any ideas? | 00:03 |
| amnesiauk | lol | 00:03 |
| nikkiclau | fevel: not when you have to remember the same command with different command subsets for 3-4 different types of unixes | 00:04 |
| fevel | true | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | amnesiauk: experience, plus i use CLI more thn gui due to I find it faster | 00:04 |
| amnesiauk | shit | 00:04 |
| emorris | hi, is there any way to make firestarter apply its policy to both wlan0 and eth0 rather than having to constantly change the internet device in the preferences? | 00:04 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, are you running ubuntu on a laptop? | 00:04 |
| amnesiauk | I guess I shouldn't smoke that much weed then:P, since I forget the most of them | 00:04 |
| amnesiauk | :) | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | amnesiauk: if you can master cli you get a whole bunch of power | 00:04 |
| amnesiauk | yup | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | amnesiauk: i still remember them ;) | 00:05 |
| fevel | tilinho: are you brazillian? | 00:05 |
| amnesiauk | linux can be 100% text based right? | 00:05 |
| bc | tilinho: that is a kernel panic. do you see anything at all before the flashing? | 00:05 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, yes | 00:05 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger, no. I am running on desktop. | 00:05 |
| o_ | نن | 00:05 |
| h00k | amnesiauk: linux is just the kernel, you can run command line apps on top of it if you want, or X (the graphical user environment) | 00:05 |
| tilinho | fevel: yes. | 00:05 |
| fevel | ubuntu-br might help | 00:05 |
| thomatwork | amnesiak - I don't ever smoke weed but I know what you mean - being in MS Windows all day atrophies my brain | 00:05 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, i had that problem in early alpha's of jaunty, it turned out to be my i945 chipset and my wireless card causing system lockups | 00:06 |
| rafael | h00k..flashplugin nonfree was NOt installed | 00:06 |
| stefg | !cli | amnesiauk | 00:06 |
| ubottu | amnesiauk: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:06 |
| rafael | h00k i installed it...no result | 00:06 |
| h00k | rafael: interesting, install flashplugin-nonfree | 00:06 |
| amnesiauk | and the kernel arranges the communications between the hardware and software right? | 00:06 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, but i was on a laptop so i doubt that you have the same problem as me | 00:06 |
| h00k | rafael: hrm. | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | amnesiauk: the kernel gives hardware and memory access | 00:06 |
| amnesiauk | ahhh okay | 00:06 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger: hm.. =/ | 00:06 |
| amnesiauk | so it arranges the hardware and memory:)? | 00:07 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, you could look at your logs or dmesg and see if theres any warnings or errors before the lockup | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | amnesiauk: yeah, and assigns cpu time to the threads based on their nice value | 00:07 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger: here, I use a desktop. | 00:07 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, 20 min remaining+- | 00:07 |
| amnesiauk | awesome | 00:07 |
| rafael | h00k do u suggest starting from scratch? uninstalling everything? | 00:07 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: alright! **crossfingers** | 00:07 |
| amnesiauk | :p | 00:07 |

| === Vincent is now known as Guest80711 | ||
| tilinho | billybigrigger: how to look the log? | 00:07 |
| amnesiauk | I know a little of the terminal:p | 00:07 |
| h00k | rafael: nah, just lemme think for a sec | 00:07 |
| amnesiauk | basics | 00:07 |
| rafael | h00k ok | 00:07 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, open a text editor and browse to /var/log | 00:08 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, if it still wont work, what could I do next? | 00:08 |
| amnesiauk | compile me own driver:P? | 00:08 |
| J-_ | Currently running Jaunty. How can I get ctrl alt backspace to restart xorg like before? | 00:08 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger: but, the ubuntu dont start here. | 00:08 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, oooh | 00:08 |
| mogi22 | got an odd cups question, on a LAN client i want both network printers and local ones to be usable. i can only switch btwn the 2 choices by changing ServerName directive in client.conf file in cups dir. how do i get access to both sets of printers on the client? | 00:08 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, explain "it wont start" | 00:08 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: you can check in windows if the driver's settings allow you to go to power-save mode .... if it does, and it's on then you need to turn it off .. | 00:08 |
| stefg | amnesiauk: just issue 'sudo invoke-rc.d ?dm stop' .... have fun then :-) | 00:08 |
| h00k | rafael: look in Synaptec for nswrapper | 00:09 |
| h00k | rafael: let me know what you have installed there | 00:09 |
| nikkiclau | stefg: it's his nic driver .. | 00:09 |
| nikkiclau | stefg: nvm | 00:09 |
| nikkiclau | gotcha there | 00:09 |
| heguru | !dontzap | J-_ | 00:09 |
| ubottu | J-_: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 00:09 |
| amnesiauk | mm crap I'll grab a livecd then | 00:09 |
| fevel | tilinho: whats the message? | 00:09 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger: ubuntu dont start, stop on screen of loading. | 00:10 |
| tilinho | fevel: nothing. | 00:10 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: no dual-boot on the machine? | 00:10 |
| rizzo20__ | hi everyone | 00:10 |
| fevel | it freezes? | 00:10 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, the splash startup screen? | 00:10 |
| xray7224 | tilinho, does it get to grub (boot loader) ? | 00:10 |
| rizzo20__ | does enyone here speaks french? | 00:10 |
| tilinho | fevel: just splash caps look and scroll lock. | 00:10 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, restart it and then hit alt-f2 to display the text and see what the error is | 00:10 |
| amnesiauk | nope | 00:10 |
| xray7224 | rizzo20__, try #ubuntu-fr | 00:10 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: ah | 00:11 |
| fevel | wait | 00:11 |
| heguru | !fr | rizzo20__ | 00:11 |
| ubottu | rizzo20__: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 00:11 |
| stealth- | rizzo20__: there is french support in #ubuntu-fr | 00:11 |
| fevel | alt f2 | 00:11 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, I was planning to emulate windows when I'm in school | 00:11 |
| fevel | see if it switches | 00:11 |
| rizzo20__ | thanks | 00:11 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger: thats its. splash screen. | 00:11 |
| amnesiauk | and use ubuntu as my main os | 00:11 |
| thomatwork | went to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto - it is sort of freaking me out a tiny bit - like I've just stepped into the deep end of the pool with out my water wings. | 00:11 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: yeah .... that's the way to go .. :) I even play all my games on linux at home :D | 00:11 |
| rizzo20__ | but no one there seems to be helpful tonight | 00:11 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, alt-f2 will switch to text mode, so when the splash screen comes up, hit alt-f2 and look at the text, try and read it, and see if it comes up with an error | 00:11 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger: yeah. stop on splash screen. | 00:11 |
| lundh | I have run into problems creating a bootable usb-install. where is tue updated guide for that? (the syslinux-way) | 00:12 |
| fevel | dota runs on my linux but not on my mac | 00:12 |
| rafael | h00k there is nothing under nswrapper | 00:12 |
| tilinho | billybigrigger: ok man, thank you, i'm testing now. | 00:12 |
| KaiForce | which release is this? 2.6.27-11-generic | 00:12 |
| billybigrigger | tilinho, 10-4 | 00:12 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, but is linux that complicated or isn't it? | 00:12 |
| h00k | rafael: ah, I'm sorry, try npwrapper | 00:12 |
| stefg | !version | KaiForce | 00:12 |
| ubottu | KaiForce: 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> » | 00:12 |
| KaiForce | if i can't identify the Ubuntu release by kernel, where can I find the release a particular machine is running? | 00:12 |
| xray7224 | KaiForce, it hink its 8.10 before updates | 00:12 |
| stealth- | KaiForce: thats a kernel, not a release. Kernel is what commands linux. | 00:12 |
| xray7224 | KaiForce, it think its 8.10 before updates | 00:12 |
| KaiForce | stefg thank you | 00:12 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go | 00:13 |
| Yopu | virtual boxing xp in ubuntu, anyone know any good tutorials? | 00:13 |
| KaiForce | stealth- i know, but wouldn't it follow that for a generic kernel you can identify the release? | 00:13 |
| amnesiauk | billybigrigger, as far as possible:p | 00:13 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, linux can be hard, or not, depends on your usage | 00:13 |
| xray7224 | KaiForce, i told you | 00:13 |
| KaiForce | xray7224 yes thank you | 00:13 |
| rafael | h00k nothing there either | 00:13 |
| fevel | im trying to build a proxy | 00:13 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, but it gets easier with time, the more you use it on a daily basis the easier it gets | 00:13 |
| thomatwork | lundh: I've used unetbootin | 00:13 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: it can be truely simple, and extremely complicated ... | 00:13 |
| fevel | I want the best experience | 00:13 |
| amnesiauk | billybigrigger, well understanding the filesystem, know where everythings located, know how everything works | 00:13 |
| amnesiauk | etc | 00:13 |
| xray7224 | linux isnt hard your just not use to it | 00:13 |
| stealth- | KaiForce: I know, but I anticipated someone else would tell him so i told him that in case he didn't know | 00:13 |
| andresx | Hello everybody! I'm new here and I have a doubt... can someone help me? | 00:13 |
| h00k | rafael: but npwrapper is listed in about:plugins ? | 00:14 |
| fevel | thinking about setting up webmin or something | 00:14 |
| stealth- | !ask | andresx | 00:14 |
| ubottu | andresx: 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. :-) | 00:14 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, time, some/alot of reading | 00:14 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, all depends on how much you want to learn | 00:14 |
| amnesiauk | :) | 00:14 |
| spasticteapot | Rhythmbox has stopped working on my machine. | 00:14 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: takes a couple of years to dig into linux if you enjoy breaking your system for the heck of it and trying to fix it afterwards | 00:14 |
| xray7224 | spasticteapot, run it via command line see what it says | 00:14 |
| thomatwork | Yopu: I am pretty new to Linux, and I just dived in. I do have a couple of yrs experience w/ VMware | 00:14 |
| amnesiauk | billybigrigger, quite a shame but I'm still too narrowminded cause of windows:( | 00:14 |
| rafael | h00k npwrapper.libflashplayer.so | 00:14 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, just jump right into it, ditch windows, you'll thank yourself later... | 00:15 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, thats how I learnt everything I know so far :p | 00:15 |
| rafael | h00k that is on the about..yes..as the filename | 00:15 |
| amnesiauk | yup | 00:15 |
| lundh | thomatwork: unetbooting doesnt work for me for some reason | 00:15 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, if somethings broken, fix it, thats how you learn :P | 00:15 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: keep at it and you'll know a lot .. | 00:15 |
| spasticteapot | xray7224: It runs - it just won't play anything, similar to when I don't have a soundcard selected. I'll give it a shot, though - I might get an error message. | 00:15 |
| h00k | rafael: check for npwrapper.libflashplayer.so in your ~/.mozilla/plugins folder and delete it | 00:15 |
| billybigrigger | amnesiauk, don't give up on linux because something broke and your too lazy to fix it :P ubuntuforums.org is a great place to find info | 00:15 |
| KaiForce | Ok, after upgrade to intrepid on an Acer laptop, the sound works for a bit then stops working. Is this a common issue? | 00:15 |
| h00k | rafael: if it exists | 00:15 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: a sysadmin i've been teaching from ground up (windows and linux), knows a lot now .. almost didn't know anything a year ago .. | 00:15 |
| hoymkot_ | i need help on my computer, I need help on starting gui on 9.04, I upgrade it by autoupdate from 8.10 | 00:16 |
| stefg | amnesiauk: if you have , say, 3 free days and an old box to play with: build yourself a LFS (Linux from scratch) system... very educational (although rarely useful for real work) | 00:16 |
| histo | amnesiauk: hanging out here is a big help and the forums. Till you get the hang of where everything is at. | 00:16 |
| thomatwork | lundh: sorry man - i've been lucky on that front | 00:16 |
| rgs_ | <rgs> I have a problem of evolution stalling on Ubuntu 9.04 when trying to compose a new message | 00:16 |
| rgs_ | <rgs> it takes about 30 seconds to open the window | 00:16 |
| rgs_ | <rgs> and my notebook seems to be fine.. so its not a hardware problem | 00:16 |
| rgs_ | <rgs> I have folders with thousands of email | 00:16 |
| nikkiclau | hoymkot_: please try grep ERR /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:16 |
| FloodBot2 | rgs_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:16 |
| amnesiauk | It may sound stupid but I;m kinda thrilled into linux now:) | 00:16 |
| xray7224 | will you guys stop saying linux is hard | 00:16 |
| nikkiclau | hoymkot_: then pastebin it please :) | 00:16 |
| h00k | rafael: also, you'll need to delete it (as root) if it exists in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 00:16 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: i was too when i was starting to use it .. everything broke on me .. | 00:17 |
| spasticteapot | xray7224: I get this error message: (rhythmbox:13827): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name | 00:17 |
| histo | xray7224: its not just have to understand the differences coming from windows . | 00:17 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, thats how you learn stuff best | 00:17 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: trying to get ISDN to work at the time was horrid even ... i loved it | 00:17 |
| fevel | should I use sarg on my proxy? | 00:17 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: yup, stuff sticks in your brain afterwards | 00:17 |
| rabid | i get DRDY ERROR on a couple of my drives when used as the ubuntu 9.04 / partition, most likely just 2 bad drives? | 00:17 |
| amnesiauk | ^^ | 00:17 |
| h00k | rafael: also, lastly check /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/ for that file | 00:17 |
| xray7224 | histo, your making it sound like its hard rather than just they dont know there way around the system i find windows hard but if you ask people they'd say it isnt | 00:17 |
| skierpage | I installed 64-bit Kubuntu 9.04. Occasionally window regions display corrupted on my ATI 9800 Pro. lspci (very cool BTW) says it's a Radeon 350. How can I tell what driver I'm using, and *should* be using? | 00:18 |
| rafael | h00k im running a find -name... | 00:18 |
| stefg | rabid: install smartmontools and find out | 00:18 |
| histo | xray7224: Its hard for a windows user to make the switch still. Now that i've been using nix for years I also find windows difficult to understand at times. | 00:18 |
| stefg | !info smartmontools | 00:18 |
| ubottu | smartmontools (source: smartmontools): control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 5.38-2ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 322 kB, installed size 804 kB | 00:18 |
| stealth- | rabid: thats when the the is a communication error between the devices. It's generally okay unless you expecience problems. I get them alot on my older hardware | 00:18 |
| amnesiauk | is there a site which has all common commands listed under each other? | 00:18 |
| histo | amnesiauk: for terminal? | 00:18 |
| amnesiauk | uhu | 00:18 |
| stealth- | rabid: correction I *think* its when there is a communication error | 00:18 |
| amnesiauk | common ubuntu built in commands | 00:19 |
| xray7224 | histo, i dont like poeple making out linux is any harder than os x or win | 00:19 |
| histo | amnesiauk: you can use apropos or man -k there is documentation built in to linux. | 00:19 |
| xray7224 | because it isnt | 00:19 |
| amnesiauk | like lsusb and stuff | 00:19 |

| amnesiauk | ahh kay | 00:19 |

| amnesiauk | thanks stefg | 00:20 |
| amnesiauk | danke schon:) | 00:20 |
| rabid | stealth-: oh ya i dont care about that, backups are my life, just wondering about something in syslog i hadnt seen before | 00:20 |
| skierpage | I run a "Hardware Drivers" app, it starts up "jockey" which says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and displays some blank panes. | 00:20 |
| xray7224 | ooo who gave a dangorus command :P | 00:20 |
| rafael | h00k done | 00:20 |
| h00k | rafael: restart firefox and try that now :/ did you say you have flashplugin-nonfree installed? | 00:20 |
| stealth- | rabid: you should be okay. like I said I use alot of olderhardware and on my server I get those errors alot. The cables are shot to hell, but ive been running it for a year and had no issues. | 00:21 |
| RHorse | you mean dangerous like sudo rm -fr / ? | 00:21 |
| rafael | h00k now i have flashplugin nonfree installed yes | 00:21 |
| histo | !anyone | KaiForce | 00:21 |
| ubottu | KaiForce: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 00:21 |
| neil | hi | 00:21 |
| h00k | rafael: alright, give that a shot... | 00:21 |
| histo | RHorse: please don't | 00:21 |
| KaiForce | i ran the command that RHorse posted and now my laptop doesn't work. | 00:21 |
| xray7224 | RHorse, most systems wont let you run that because it knows not to delet / you would run rm -rf / no-preserve-root | 00:21 |

| diomadson | yes | 00:23 |
| Seeker` | xray7224: doesn't matter; don't say it in here | 00:23 |
| stealth- | deco: thats trolling | 00:23 |
| KaiForce | deco: it has its plusses sure | 00:23 |
| h00k | rafael: I've never had this issue so I'm not entirely sure how to fix that. | 00:23 |
| histo | !best | deco | 00:23 |
| xray7224 | pfff fine i wont educate poeple | 00:23 |
| ubottu | deco: 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. | 00:23 |
| unr3a1 | does anyone know what I can do? | 00:23 |
| stefg | deco: uhoh.... | 00:23 |
| rafael | h00k...ok... | 00:23 |
| tilinho | the fact is using a microsoft mouse, I cant load ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| KaiForce | is there a troubleshooting FAQ for sound on Ubuntu online? | 00:23 |
| rafael | h00k at least im getting there | 00:23 |

| |v|aster | does anyone know the command that will show me all users on my computer? | 00:24 |
| ubottu | KaiForce: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:24 |
| KaiForce | deco: if your primary use is as a desktop, I would say yes. and I like both Fedora and Ubuntu equally | 00:24 |
| Titan8990 | |v|aster, cat /etc/passwd | 00:24 |
| neskat | deco: are you happy with fedora? | 00:24 |
| heguru | |v|aster: getent passwd | 00:24 |
| rafael | h00k i have to get up for a few minutes...ill start my battle with the audio then | 00:24 |
| deco | neskat: don't really know.... | 00:24 |
| === diomadson is now known as last | ||
| unr3a1 | why do things keep saying that I have no install candidate as well? | 00:25 |
| === last is now known as lastttt | ||
| KaiForce | stefg thank you | 00:25 |
| pajamian | anyone know how to remove a package that apt won't remove because some of the files are missing? | 00:25 |
| h00k | rafael: alright, then try asking the channel and see if anyone else knows how exactly to fix that | 00:25 |
| deco | neskat: i don't get called a noob for using it though.... | 00:25 |
| stefg | !apt | pajamian | 00:25 |
| ubottu | pajamian: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 00:25 |
| Titan8990 | unr3a1, you are trying to install packages that no longer exist or have been merged into new packasges | 00:25 |
| Seeker` | deco: neskat: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 00:25 |
| rafael | h00k..yes..its a whole new issue..i shall start by googling it first | 00:25 |
| Crash1hd | Can anyone in her tell me what DPS2 (Dual Power System 2) is from giga-byte? I mean its a piece of hardware that plugs in as a card onto the mother board but I really dont understand what it does? anyone? | 00:25 |
| skierpage | A really old ubuntuforums thread tells me to look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to find my video driver, but that's generic ""Configured Video Device" | 00:25 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, 2minutes remaining | 00:25 |
| h00k | rafael: good luck to you | 00:25 |
| rafael | h00k..thanks | 00:26 |
| |v|aster | Titan8990, heguru, thank ya | 00:26 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: cool | 00:26 |
| neskat | skierpage: what grfx card? | 00:26 |
| stefg | Crash1hd: #hardware will be happy to discuss that | 00:26 |
| amnesiauk | btw nikkiclau what's the keyboard shortcut to copy something from a terminal/bash/konsole? | 00:26 |
| Crash1hd | stefg: thanks :) | 00:26 |
| amnesiauk | not ctrl+c right? | 00:26 |
| skierpage | neskat I have an ATI 9800 Pro, lspci says it's Radeon 350. But no indication what driver kubuntu is using. | 00:26 |
| stealth- | can someone tag me? | 00:26 |
| heguru | amnesiauk: shift+ctrl+c | 00:26 |
| amnesiauk | ahhh | 00:26 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: shift+ctrl+c | 00:26 |
| amnesiauk | just like a new tab and crap | 00:27 |
| mib_ijoy77hg | i'm trying to download java, it tells me to go into the terminal, type "su" and then my password, but it never lets me type in my password and i dont know what to do. | 00:27 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: or you can drag over the text and then click middle mouse button .... | 00:27 |
| tilinho | My ubuntu don't load, stop on splash screen and show me this warning, "kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill init." on safe mode. Any idea? | 00:27 |
| stealth- | mib_ijoy77hg: su is the command to turn into root. You want "sudo su" then your password. su requires the root password, which you cant know | 00:27 |
| neskat | skierpage: unless system>preferences>hardware drivers tells you, then you're probably running the vesa or opensource ati compatible driver | 00:27 |
| xray7224 | Seeker`, hey guys what does for x in `ls /dev/sd*` ; do dd if=/dev/random of=$x ; done do someone told me to run it :P | 00:27 |
| Titan8990 | !root | mib_ijoy77hg | 00:27 |
| ubottu | mib_ijoy77hg: 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 | 00:27 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: (where you want to copy to) | 00:27 |
| amnesiauk | cool:) | 00:27 |
| sedeki | I have a problem with my audio drivers ... When I plug in headphones the sound from the speakers don't go away, as the sound do in windows .... Anyone?? | 00:27 |
| Titan8990 | mib_ijoy77hg, root account in locked in ubuntu | 00:27 |
| sedeki | I've looked in alsamixer also | 00:27 |
| heguru | mib_ijoy77hg: use add/remove in the applications menu to install java | 00:28 |
| lastttt | mib_ijoy77hg: try sudo | 00:28 |
| h00k | I have an external HD (500gb) formatted with ext2 and I'm having some severe file system problems, I'd like to try to get my data off before I reformat/surface scan, can anyone point me to some (f/os) software that might help? I'd love to try ddrescue but I don't have spare 500gb. | 00:28 |
| neskat | mib_ijoy77hg: to download java > sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 00:28 |
| stefg | !intelhda | sedeki | 00:28 |
| ubottu | sedeki: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 00:28 |
| nikkiclau | h00k: norton ghost 2003? | 00:28 |
| skierpage | neskat Thanks! That thing ("jockey" ?) shows blank and "No proprietary drivers", so that sounds right. | 00:28 |
| sedeki | stefg: aah cool! thanks! | 00:28 |
| xray7224 | hey mr_bo_jangles | 00:29 |
| h00k | nikkiclau: free/open source software, also, I don't have spare 500gb to image it to. | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, the problem with images is that will will also have keep errors that the fileystem may have | 00:29 |
| mr_bo_jangles | hey xray | 00:29 |
| neskat | skierpage: cool, you can install the atu drivers for better performance if you __need__ them | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, you are best off backing up files using something like tar and rsync | 00:29 |
| h00k | Titan8990: they were rsync'd to that drive. | 00:29 |
| pajamian | stefg: I can't find the answer to my question in that link. Basically put I need to finish removing an old kernel package that was only partially removed before. | 00:29 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, rebooting:) | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, so you don't backup the filesystem issues | 00:29 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: hopefully this works out of the box ... | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, rsync them back :) | 00:29 |
| amnesiauk | let's hope so | 00:30 |
| xray7224 | Seeker`, should i run sudo for x in `ls /dev/sd*` ; do dd if=/dev/random of=$x ; done | 00:30 |
| h00k | Titan8990: they won't. That's the problem. | 00:30 |
| xray7224 | Seeker`, they said it would fix my background | 00:30 |
| stefg | pajamian: you might need to reinstall it again, just to get rid of it afterwards | 00:30 |
| skierpage | neskat I am getting occasional corruption of window contents, so maybe I'll give it a shot. | 00:30 |
| h00k | Titan8990: I'm getting "Stale NFS file handle" | 00:30 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, oh.... | 00:30 |
| pajamian | stefg: that sucks, there really should be a way to tell apt to "just remove the damn thing" | 00:30 |
| xray7224 | i so dont :O | 00:31 |
| unr3a1 | Titan8990, I am trying to install VNC enterprise | 00:31 |
| unr3a1 | Titan8990, would that be vnc-java now? | 00:31 |
| h00k | Titan8990: my DMESG is reporting I/O errors: http://pastebin.com/d10511920 | 00:31 |
| neskat | skierpage: make sure you know how to revert to your old xorg.conf file in the root shell incase anything goes wrong | 00:31 |
| Titan8990 | unr3a1, not sure, I use ssh | 00:31 |
| h00k | Titan8990: so I'm looking for a way to rescue my data. | 00:31 |
| stefg | pajamian: there are some --force options with apt, but it's quite unresponsible to just tell people to -- force-yes this or that w/o knowing what they are doing | 00:31 |
| xray7224 | mr_bo_jangles, i got kicked :( | 00:31 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, thats a tough one.... | 00:32 |
| h00k | Titan8990: yeah... | 00:32 |
| pajamian | stefg: right, and I thought --force-yes simply told it to answer yes to prompts automatically | 00:32 |
| nikkiclau | h00k: get another 500G disk .. cheapest option IMO | 00:32 |
| === |v|aster is now known as noobUser | ||
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, I've got an ip now:) | 00:33 |
| stefg | pajamian: you prolly need dpkg --force-help | 00:33 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: excellent! :D glad to hear it! | 00:33 |
| psygeist | lolbye | 00:33 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, I would maybe try some picture recovery software | 00:33 |
| h00k | nikkiclau: yeah, thats money I don't have...that's why I'm seeing if anyone knows of any software that would be nice to use to recover from my hosed filesystem | 00:33 |
| Zeroyez | anyone know if catalyst 9.4 and jaunty = working 3d performance or not? | 00:33 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, its made for photos but works will all types of files | 00:33 |
| unr3a1 | has anyone here sucessfully installed vnc enterprise in 9.04? | 00:33 |
| h00k | Titan8990: yeah, I thought maybe something like testdisk | 00:33 |
| Titan8990 | h00k, start with the most important | 00:33 |
| ryanakca | How do I print pages 47 and 48 of a PDF from the CLI? I have lpr / pdf2ps / gs / etc installed. | 00:34 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, sorry for bothering you, since I could also just install 9.04 straight away:p | 00:34 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: then we know that this was a driver issue, and a upgrade of kernel (or in this case, Ubuntu) worked for you. | 00:34 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: no worries mate .. it was fun | 00:34 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, thanks a lot mate:) | 00:35 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: you're very welcome :) | 00:35 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, strange though why the usb stick didn't work:p | 00:35 |
| amnesiauk | I guess the bootsector was fine right, otherwise it wouldn't boot:)\ | 00:36 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: probably ... but i've seen usb sticks working on some computers and not others .. I guess it's not as reliable as CD ROM .. | 00:36 |
| stefg | !info photorec | h00k | 00:36 |
| ubottu | h00k: Package photorec does not exist in jaunty | 00:36 |
| stefg | ... sh ... | 00:36 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, strange:) | 00:37 |
| h00k | stefg: I found testdisk: gcsecurity.org | 00:37 |
| amnesiauk | well I'll stop bothering you guys, but I'll definitely come back:) | 00:37 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: not really .. I saw this happend aswell with CD ROMs vs floppy disks when CD booting was a new technology | 00:37 |
| Zeroyez | dd with a progress bar where can i find | 00:37 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: alrighty mate .. | 00:37 |
| amnesiauk | and the cdrom worked? | 00:37 |
| amnesiauk | guess so right:P? | 00:37 |
| unr3a1 | Titan8990, would you know why gksu vncview %f does not load the application? | 00:38 |
| unr3a1 | is there something I am missing in that command? | 00:38 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: in the end, BIOS manufacturers fixed their code ... | 00:38 |
| stefg | h00k: testdisk recovers partitions .... if your partition table is hosed. photorec (sam author iirc) tries to get your files back | 00:38 |
| amnesiauk | ahh I see | 00:38 |
| h00k | stefg: photorec is included in the tarball | 00:39 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, well my new bios on the laptops kinda simple:( | 00:39 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, hasnt got the option to press f12 for example and choose where to boot from | 00:39 |
| k1rbsah | i type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree it says i already have the latest version.. i open a page that uses flash.. and it says i dont have adobe flash player 9 or higher... it is any page .. help? | 00:39 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: well, they differ from product to product ... unfortunately | 00:39 |
| RHorse | k1rbsah: dl from the adobe site and follow the instructions there. | 00:40 |
| amnesiauk | nikkiclau, yup | 00:40 |
| leviatha1 | hi, i just decided to install ubuntu 9.0.4 and wanted to install ati drivers(fglrx) afterwards, did it with apt-get. after that i got a white with black screen. I also noticed that fglrx gave error while loading. Do i have to modify the ubuntu kernel for fglrx? cause i got the same version working on my gentoo box? And btw where are all the option from Xorg.conf written to? | 00:40 |
| Roconda | HI amnesiauk | 00:40 |
| amnesiauk | pikko:p | 00:40 |
| maco | leviatha1: current versions of X do not require a static config file | 00:40 |
| maco | leviatha1: that's why xorg.conf is empty | 00:41 |
| pajamian | stefg: well I'm gonna try reinstall / remove, but it's rather a pain because it has a dependancy that has to be installed and removed as well that way. | 00:41 |
| stefg | leviatha1: envy .... or go buy an nvidia card (quicker solution) | 00:41 |
| mr_bo_jangles | \x6a\x31\x58\xcd\x80\x89\xc3\x89\xc1\x6a\x46\x58\xcd\x80\x31\xc0\x50\x68\x2f\x2f\x73\x68\x68\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x54\x5b\x50\x53\x89\xe1\x31\xd2\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80 | 00:41 |
| leviatha1 | stefg: well its on my old notebook so its kinda hard | 00:41 |
| Zeroyez | leviatha1, which version of fglrx did apt-get install | 00:41 |
| maco | leviatha1: it's *supposed* to just Do The Right Thing...but graphics drivers are just kinda screwed on jaunty ATM | 00:41 |
| amnesiauk | Well nikkiclau, thanks again for the help, got to install xp on me old laptop now:p | 00:41 |

| jimisrvrox | hey guys I have the 9.04 iso already and I want to install inside of windows how can I do that w/o waiting on wubi to dl the iso? | 00:42 |
| nikkiclau | amnesiauk: alright .. have fun :) | 00:42 |
| mr_bo_jangles | lol its /bin/sh | 00:42 |
| RHorse | k1rbsah: no. You have to go to the adobe.com and install from there. Will work,. guaranteed. :) | 00:42 |
| jimisrvrox | hey guys I have the 9.04 iso already and I want to install inside of windows how can I do that w/o waiting on wubi to dl the iso? | 00:42 |
| leviatha1 | maco: is there any way round? manual install or no point trying? | 00:42 |
| mr_bo_jangles | waiting for people to ask about it | 00:42 |
| maco | leviatha1: you can use vesa in the meantime. i suppose there's a work around somewhere. i only konw the intel stuff though | 00:42 |
| k1rbsah | rhorse ok ill try again :) ty ill get back to you :) | 00:42 |
| maco | leviatha1: it's also possible you have one of the cards for which ATI recently dropped support and thus need the open source ati driver | 00:43 |
| LadyNikon | jimisrvrox: but the disk in.. and it will auto run while in windows | 00:43 |
| LadyNikon | put* | 00:43 |
| jimisrvrox | LadyNikon: I have the cd but it will not read on this cdrom.. | 00:43 |
| k1rbsah | rhorse the tar.gz ? | 00:43 |
| LadyNikon | jimisrvrox: did you burn it correctly? it should automatically start when you put the disk in | 00:43 |
| RHorse | k1rbsah: don't use the deb., use the .gz file | 00:43 |
| jimisrvrox | LadyNikon: I have a copy of 9.04 on my flash drive but it is not a dedicated OS just the iso | 00:43 |
| RHorse | yes | 00:43 |
| k1rbsah | rhorse ok because ive done the .deb and apt-get :-/ | 00:44 |
| LadyNikon | jimisrvrox: can you burn it to a cd? | 00:44 |
| Zeroyez | are there any utilities similar to dd but with a progress bar? | 00:44 |
| neil | i would like to install jaunty to an external harddrive with debootstrap from a hardy ubuntu, but command "debootstrap jaunty /install" says E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/jaunty. what should i do? | 00:44 |
| jimisrvrox | LadyNikon: yeah but as I well know some cdroms do not like certain media types..showed up fine on my *nix boxes at home.. | 00:44 |
| jimisrvrox | LadyNikon: no she does not have a cd burner.. | 00:44 |
| RHorse | k1rbsah: use the .gz and follow the instructions on how to install. It's easy. | 00:44 |
| LadyNikon | jimisrvrox: i just used isoburner | 00:44 |
| LadyNikon | jimisrvrox: ah | 00:44 |
| k1rbsah | rhorse ok ok :) | 00:44 |
| leviatha1 | maco: doubt it did use closed server before on that machine. Didnt check though. Will try to play a bit with kernel an driver then. cause i often play wow on my notebook while in class and its just not possible with a decent driver | 00:44 |
| leviatha1 | closed driver* | 00:44 |
| LadyNikon | jimisrvrox: maybe google usb ubuntu installation windows | 00:44 |
| jimisrvrox | LadyNikon: I dont think I could run it offa usb w/o extracting the iso is what im saying | 00:45 |
| heguru | thomatwork: I don't think that would be possible (not without hacking gdm atleast) | 00:45 |
| heguru | fthomat | 00:45 |

| _CommandeR_ | Hi, is there a reason why Ubuntu 9.04 reads my 6GiB as 5.8GiB (RAM) | 00:54 |

| Cpudan80 | installing gold is a very bad idea | 00:54 |

| Crash1hd | Cpudan80: why? | 00:54 |
| mib_7wl1la | perhaps a stupid questio, but what command is executed when i press the hotkey that mutes my speakers? put another way: if I wanted to write a script that would mute my sound, what command would i use? | 00:54 |
| Cpudan80 | Crash1hd: you use NLite -- the guys in ##windows can help you | 00:54 |
| Apaxis | Crash1hd: ;\ | 00:55 |
| Cpudan80 | Crash1hd: for reasons like your weird 100GB problem, XP Gold had a large volume problem that you wont be able to get around later | 00:55 |
| Kubuntu__ | Cpudan80 is he running it in a USB enclosure? I had same prob with puttin a 350GB in an old enclosure | 00:55 |
| maco | mib_7wl1la: maybe look at 'man amixer'? | 00:55 |
| Cpudan80 | Good question | 00:56 |
| Cpudan80 | USB enclosure = evil | 00:56 |
| Crash1hd | Cpudan80: hmm I know that once sp2 is installed it sees the rest of the drive (im only installing xp on the first 20 gigs anyhow | 00:56 |

| Urik | what if instead of 2, I want to input a variable? | 00:56 |
| heguru | mib_7wl1la: depents on your hardware, usually one of the scripts in /etc/acpi/events/ | 00:56 |

| _CommandeR_ | Hi, is there a reason why Ubuntu 9.04 reads my 6GiB as 5.8GiB (RAM) ? | 00:56 |
| Cpudan80 | Crash1hd: the problem is when you try to use a giant partition all for XP ... XP gold freaks | 00:56 |
| RHorse | mib_ the command you want is alsactl | 00:56 |
| Crash1hd | Cpudan80: I would love to update my xp to sp2 at least | 00:56 |
| Cpudan80 | _CommandeR_: 32 bit or 64 bit ? | 00:56 |

| maco | spectre51: oh so 9.04 not 8.10 then? | 00:59 |
| Cpudan80 | Crash1hd: Windows license keys are tied to the disk type, so for example you cant slip SP2 into a Volume License disk and have your OEM key work | 00:59 |
| RHorse | k1rbsah: it's a single file, you can download it off the web and put it in your extersion directory. I've done it before. | 01:00 |
| dassouki | what's the best way to install apache and php | 01:00 |
| Cpudan80 | Crash1hd: You can however slip SP2 into an OEM disk and use an OEM key | 01:00 |
| maco | spectre51: and splash is still in your kernel boot line? | 01:00 |
| admin_masu3701 | ubuttu: but the thing is i had sound before... | 01:00 |
| lstarnes | dassouki: try sudo tasksel install lamp-server | 01:00 |

| _CommandeR_ | lstarnes, Oh ok :) | 01:00 |
| Crash1hd | Cpudan80: no problem thankyou for the help | 01:00 |
| Cpudan80 | np | 01:00 |
| Apaxis | dassouki: i think for php you want libapache2-mod-php4 or something to that effect (apt-cache search it) | 01:00 |
| Cpudan80 | Crash1hd: Im in ##windows too ... | 01:00 |
| dassouki | Apaxis: lstarnes thanks | 01:00 |

| Cpudan80 | I play both OS instruments | 01:01 |
| lstarnes | Apaxis: php4 is no longer supported iirc | 01:01 |
| maco | randomusr: i thought it was ctrl alt L | 01:01 |
| _CommandeR_ | Cpudan80, thanx m8 :) | 01:01 |

| _CommandeR_ | BTW Anyone here Using Creative X-FI Card ? | 01:01 |
| RHorse | k1rbsah: if you give me a moment I can find it for yuou | 01:01 |
| Cpudan80 | _CommandeR_: if you are really worried about your ram, run memtest86+ on it | 01:01 |
| Cpudan80 | or some such thing | 01:01 |
| reid | lstarnes: other than bash-completion, do you have any other ideas? I can tab-complete anything that isn't apt-get | 01:01 |
| _CommandeR_ | Cpudan80, Nah its fine i dualboot into Windows 64bit also and it sees all of it :) | 01:02 |
| maco | randomusr: ....wait you tried to set super+L for lock in gnome's keyboard shortcuts thing? gnome's keyboard shortcuts dont recognize Super as a modifier, just as a key of its own, so "Super_L" means the left super key | 01:02 |
| h00k | _CommandeR_: no, the ram that doesn't appear visible to use is reserved by the kernel. your ram is probably fine. | 01:02 |
| k1rbsah | rhorse is it libflashplayer.so? | 01:02 |
| heguru | reid: are you running apt-get using sudo or as root (after sudo -i etc) | 01:02 |
| _CommandeR_ | I Was just wondering .... | 01:02 |
| reid | heguru: oh, as root | 01:02 |
| dassouki | http://pastebin.com/d6357733e <-- i get this when i try to compile.sh a program | 01:02 |
| randomusr | maco, it doesn't work either way | 01:02 |
| heguru | reid: do it using sudo, bash-completion works for your user only, not for root by default | 01:03 |
| randomusr | and I can use Super with a modifier on other shortcuts | 01:03 |
| RHorse | k1rbsah: yes, and just put it in the proper directory - you can find that be googling. Good luck! | 01:03 |
| reid | heguru: ah, thanks | 01:03 |
| Apaxis | reid: if youre logged in as root just do . /etc/bash_completion | 01:03 |
| maco | randomusr: i didnt think that'd changed....are you doing this in gnome or compiz keyboard settings? (i'm not using either of the above, but i think i still remember how they work) | 01:03 |
| fireball | hey, anyone here know how to port foward for apache, correctly? | 01:03 |
| k1rbsah | rhorse ok thanks :) | 01:04 |

| histo | Guest54688: a lot of people don't upgrade untill lts. There is really no need if everything is working. Allthough ext4 is nice. | 01:16 |
| jimi_hendrix | Apaxis, i used to be able to run compiz flawlessly | 01:16 |
| * MrDudle brb reboot | 01:17 | |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, i am using hardy... | 01:17 |
| Apaxis | jimi_hendrix: hrm, did you try the open driver first man? | 01:17 |
| jimi_hendrix | no | 01:17 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: ah, in that case using fglrx 9.3 might be an option. | 01:17 |
| Guest54688 | histo, well my mom is getting annoyed with this 8.10 bug that has resolution changing every like 5 boots and she has to reboot every 5 reboots to get the normal res | 01:17 |
| Guest54688 | histo, and i dont no the pattern to file a bug report, would filing such a thing lead to a fix or is it too abstract? | 01:17 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: (although I'd try the open driver first) | 01:17 |
| histo | Guest54688: Well it may definately be worth upgrading then. there are some things you can do to protect yourself. | 01:18 |
| Apaxis | jimi_hendrix: id try that out, and then do what mzz is saying if that doesnt help you | 01:18 |
| mzz | Guest54688: at least try to catch a /var/log/Xorg.0.log for both the correct and the bogus resolution | 01:18 |
| histo | Guest54688: have a seperate /home paritition also backup your data from home then you have very little to worry about. | 01:18 |

| mzz | Apaxis: well, for this one a bit more info than "it's wrong once every n boots" would be required | 01:19 |
| Apaxis | i addressed the wrong guest | 01:19 |
| Guest54688 | histo, ok so i shoiuld just say this in launchpad and include lspci? that should fix the problem? | 01:19 |

| bowl | i accidentally smashed mine | 01:25 |
| brian___ | hey all | 01:25 |
| MrDudle | h00k, there are still no drivers | 01:25 |
| brian___ | ive run into this bug during installation | 01:25 |
| Chr|s | Dr_Willis: I always do it manually I never get an update icon | 01:25 |
| bowl | so where can i get a booty disk? | 01:25 |
| Apaxis | bowl: ^^^ | 01:25 |
| brian___ | i suspect it is because of this board having and oddball pata driver, and the cdrom is pata | 01:25 |
| randomusr | In gnome, what's the best windows manager to look glassy like vista? | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | bowl: you can get the cd's at the ubutnu download sites. | 01:25 |

| Severian | Chr|s, The update icon is gone for 9.04. | 01:25 |
| brian___ | so i was able to mount everything and chroot in | 01:25 |
| h00k | MrDudle: lspci | grep VGA | 01:25 |
| bazhang | bowl, you asked and were answered, dont repeat | 01:25 |
| brian___ | is there something i can run to complete the install? | 01:25 |

| ubottu | bowl: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | randomusr: its not the window manager that looks that way.. but compiz + the emerald window decorator can look a lot like vista. | 01:26 |
| Chr|s | Seveas: ahh they did, so there is no notification? | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | randomusr: you might have to make your own emerald theme, or find one to download. | 01:26 |

| bowl | i know what ubuntu is - i use it from the booty disk because i don't want to delete windows trying to install it | 01:26 |
| histo | brian___: what is the bug doing? | 01:26 |
| Chr|s | Severian | 01:26 |
| bazhang | bowl, it is a boot disk. please stop repeating. | 01:26 |
| brian___ | histo: it asks for the install cd media after 80% of "isntalling the base system" | 01:27 |
| Severian | Chr|s, Right, no notification Icon. The default behavior is that update manager will open on your screen once a day. They are going to change the default time frame to once a week. | 01:27 |

| Apaxis | well brian___, i just dont know.... im starting to think its a bug with the installer script, maybe on the alternate (amd64/i686) disk? have you checked the bugtracker or whatever ubuntu has? | 01:48 |
| AgentHeX | how might i dump the contents of a "screen" session in a terminal to a file? | 01:48 |
| jp_sf | neonfloss: dmesg | grep CD | 01:48 |
| vasi | mibzzer15: are you on a mac, by any chance? | 01:48 |
| n3glv_lap | is this yet-another x-org 1.6 'feature'? | 01:48 |
| |v|aster | maco, ty | 01:48 |
| mibzzer15 | vasi: no | 01:48 |
| wendy__d-_-b | Anscombe, on places, after COMPUTER you should see all ur partitions, and to load then just click on them, put password when pronted | 01:48 |
| brian___ | Apaxis: yeah, besides that post on the forum for a week ago, no one has posted an official bug so im dooing it | 01:48 |
| neonfloss | thanks jp_sf and vasi | 01:49 |
| vasi | AgentHeX: you can have multiple screens, so i'm not sure how you'd dump them all... | 01:49 |
| brian___ | ill give it some time for a fix / suggestion, but I'll probably just install gentoo again | 01:49 |
| froystig | is 8.10 still supported? | 01:49 |
| AgentHeX | vasi: i only have one screen session. | 01:49 |
| odinsbane | thanks | 01:49 |
| Apaxis | brian___: i would, keep checking back here too maybe someone else knows something about this | 01:49 |
| wendy__d-_-b | brian___, whats the problem? | 01:49 |
| vasi | AgentHeX: apparently 'C-a H' starts loggin | 01:49 |
| Apaxis | brian___: did you try installing from the live disk? | 01:49 |
| vasi | (according to the screen manpage) | 01:49 |
| AgentHeX | vasi: it's detachd, and i can re-attach it, but i'd rather just dump the contents of it to a file. i want what is currently in the buffer. | 01:49 |
| Roasted | Question - I booted up my PC and got grub error 18, which is "selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS." I rebooted not having an idea of what else to doa nd it booted fine. Why would I get this error and rebooting fix it?? | 01:50 |
| vasi | AgentHeX: oooh....that's a harder question :-( | 01:50 |
| Apaxis | wendy__d-_-b: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7210718 | 01:50 |
| vasi | AgentHeX: i think you can copy it and paste it, but i don't remember how | 01:50 |
| vasi | lemme check the man page | 01:50 |
| AgentHeX | vasi: i need to get all of the stuff that i can't see above my window. | 01:50 |
| Anscombe | wendy__d-_-b: yeah, i've got 2, one when clicked opens my windows but when i go to install ubuntu, it doesnt show it on the partitions | 01:50 |
| n3glv_lap | Roasted: could be beginning of the descriptor going bad | 01:50 |
| Roasted | n3glv_lap - Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean by the descriptor? | 01:51 |
| brian___ | wendy__d-_-b: i actually did just find a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/360460 | 01:51 |
| n3glv_lap | I mean early signs of dementia | 01:51 |
| jp_sf | Roasted: sounds like a BIOS configuration you have to change AUTO to normal | 01:51 |
| froystig | when there's an outdated binary in the standard apt repos, who does one go to in order to ask for it to be updated to latest? | 01:51 |
| n3glv_lap | media descriptor | 01:51 |
| Apaxis | brian___: there you go :p | 01:51 |
| Roasted | n3glv_lap - media descriptor? I'm still not quite following you. | 01:52 |
| vasi | AgentHeX: k, look at the manpage....there's a part that mentions "This example demonstrates how to dump the whole scrollback buffer" | 01:52 |
| brian___ | Apaxis: yah, but no workaround :( | 01:52 |
| n3glv_lap | btw, I friggin hate the removal of ctl+alt+bs to kill X | 01:52 |
| Roasted | jp_sf - any idea why I would have been able to run 8.10 for months and it be fine, then upgrade to 9.04 and it run fine for 2 weeks and only now I get the error?? | 01:52 |
| vasi | AgentHeX: but note that by default, screen has a pretty small scrollback...so you may only get a few dozen lines, maybe a couple hundred | 01:52 |
| n3glv_lap | (found the fix for that one already) | 01:52 |
| wendy__d-_-b | Anscombe, are u on livecd now? | 01:52 |
| Apaxis | brian___: :( | 01:52 |
| |v|aster | is there a GUI for adding a printer? this is my first time doing it | 01:52 |
| Anscombe | wendy__d-_-b: yes | 01:52 |
| wendy__d-_-b | and u see the partitions | 01:52 |
| n3glv_lap | Roasted: every hdd has a part from the factory where the geometry is described | 01:53 |
| jp_sf | Roasted: your BIOS forgot it's configuration ? could be the case if the battery of your motherboard is dead | 01:53 |
| Atomic_UE | when i share a folder via samba by right clicking the folder, goign to properties, and Share tab. Where is that information stored? It's not in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 01:53 |
| wendy__d-_-b | Anscombe, and when u click INSTALL and u get to the partitions are they there? | 01:53 |
| vasi | froystig: you can file a bug on launchpad, or just mail the package maintainer (see dpkg -p PACKAGE) | 01:53 |
| bonhoffer | what is a good music player to organize my mp3's and has codecs | 01:53 |
| Apaxis | Atomic_UE: jesus im about to google that just to shut you up hold on | 01:53 |
| Roasted | n3glv_lap - thats a bummer, because this is a brand new drive. My old one died under warranty and I got this one in about 3 weeks ago and did a fresh install of 9.04 when it was released on this drive. What luck if I have drive problems so frequently? | 01:53 |
| vasi | Atomic_UE: dunno, maybe find out with strace? | 01:53 |
| Anscombe | wendy__d-_-b: there's two partitions, both named ubuntu, yet windows should be there. It was before hand. | 01:53 |
| h00k | bonhoffer: there are a ton. Amarok, Banshee, Rhythmbox, Exaile, | 01:54 |

| n3glv_lap | but possibly of you boot from live cd | 01:54 |
| Roasted | jp_sf - My system doenst really heat up at all though | 01:54 |
| AgentHeX | vasi: C-a ESC goes into scrollback mode. that's sufficient. thanks | 01:54 |
| n3glv_lap | unmount it then | 01:54 |
| n3glv_lap | and do scan | 01:55 |

It shows it is connected to my network via my Belkin G+MIMO router but yet I cannot access the internet. If I plug into the router via cat5 I have internet. More puzzling is the fact that I just installed Jaunty several days ago and the wireless "just worked" for the first couple of days. Y | 01:55 |
| n3glv_lap | Roasted: I don't know that it's time to panic | 01:55 |
| n3glv_lap | could be just a burp | 01:56 |

| russ | whats the error message channel i'm having a problem running dhcp-server | 02:21 |
| saiki | Kubuntu__, I have looked, no luck :@ | 02:21 |
| Apaxis | loxety: you can check out the appdb at winehq.com and this is a really cool one http://www.wine-reviews.net/ but mostly it has you configuring and running wine/your game/app manually | 02:21 |
| Kubuntu__ | saiki: Whats the package again, i'll give it a try | 02:21 |
| phantom_d-_-b | how i install flash plugin? | 02:21 |

| admin_masu3701 | h00k : what do !flash | phantom_d-_-B do? | 02:23 |
| Kubuntu__ | admin_masu3701: What browsser are you using? | 02:23 |
| zidan | so how to i get dvds to play? | 02:23 |
| lifeforce4 | Crash1hd: 1-2GB is good. | 02:23 |
| Pici | Crash1hd: If you plan on suspending your computer to disk you'll need at least as much ram as you have. | 02:23 |
| shadow98 | ok guys i am trying to backup my whole system....using tar....with this command... tar -cvzf /backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / | 02:23 |
| Kubuntu__ | saiki: If you give me the package name your looking for ill search google real quick | 02:23 |
| Crash1hd | lifeforce4: any logic / reason to give more? | 02:24 |
| lifeforce4 | like shadow98 said. | 02:24 |
| saiki | libbz-dev | 02:24 |
| lifeforce4 | sorry Pici | 02:24 |
| Crash1hd | ok so if I give 3 gigs would be too much? | 02:24 |
| saiki | need it for this: http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-2373.html | 02:24 |

| loxety | Apaxis, thanks for the links | 02:24 |
| shadow98 | this is on a fresh install system..im trying to test backup and recover...so then i reload OS and try restore with tar -xvpzf /backup.tgz -C / | 02:24 |
| Crash1hd | mzz: I have 3 gigs of ram | 02:24 |
| lifeforce4 | Crash1hd: No having to much swap space is never a problem because you cant. | 02:24 |
| divxclub | Does anyone can point me to site explaining how to PROPERLY install ATI drivers for R700 card . Or it's not available yet. ? Thank you ! | 02:25 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: but if that's what the automatic partitioner suggests just let it do its thing | 02:25 |
| shadow98 | i then get this error....tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors | 02:25 |
| Kubuntu__ | saiki: Have you tried libbz2-dev? | 02:25 |
| Crash1hd | Im in manual mode | 02:25 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: it won't hurt, but it's imho not likely the system will be usable if you run something that makes it use up 3 GiB of swap. | 02:25 |
| saiki | Kubuntu__, not yet | 02:25 |
| lifeforce4 | Crash1hd: 2GB is a good size to start with. | 02:25 |
| loxety | Apaxis, its most likely something with the video settings thats the issue.. tried counter-strike:source, left4dead, and COD 5 | 02:25 |
| saiki | Kubuntu__, I didn't know it existed lol | 02:25 |
| Kubuntu__ | saiki: Sometimes it may work sometimes not. I did find results for libbz2-dev | 02:25 |
| loxety | Apaxis, I get to the first part of the single player game in left4dead.. almost.. | 02:26 |
| ice109 | can someone help me, i've installed all the codecs necessary but still don't get video when trying to watch avis im vlc | 02:26 |
| Apaxis | loxety: all of the hl-based steam games are reported working on wine-reviews :p | 02:26 |
| saiki | Kubuntu__, here goes nothing lol | 02:26 |
| lifeforce4 | does the livecd not detect hard drives? I cant see any hdX# or sdX# drives in /dev | 02:26 |
| mzz | ice109: if "codecs" means "gstreamer codecs" then that won't help vlc, it doesn't use gstreamer | 02:26 |
| Kubuntu__ | saiki: Whats your application for libbz2? | 02:27 |
| umpop | any word on the 2.6.28 dmraid issue? | 02:27 |
| Lucas156 | aren't there any interest specific rooms on any servers? | 02:27 |

| ice109 | mzz: movieplayer doesn't play em either | 02:27 |
| ice109 | mzz: what codecs does vlc need? | 02:27 |
| Apaxis | loxety: and winehq, left4dead cod4 all of them, some require a certain version of the game to run ie cod4, burt check out those sites its pretty easy to follow | 02:27 |
| loxety | Apaxis, yeah I've played it before.. several years ago. This is a new install of 9.04 | 02:27 |
| mzz | ice109: I don't know how ubuntu packages it, sorry. | 02:27 |
| mattgyver | After i upgraded to 9.04 I could not access Windows networks, as well the computer was not visiible out to the network until i restarted samba. Has anyone else had this issue? | 02:27 |
| mzz | ice109: (I don't know if there are separate codec packages you need to install) | 02:27 |
| ice109 | mzz: the weird thing is i can see a thumbnail with the first frame | 02:27 |
| ice109 | in the folder | 02:27 |
| loxety | Apaxis, Thank you | 02:27 |
| mzz | ice109: that's odd. I'd expect movie player (totem) to play them then. | 02:27 |
| saiki | Kubuntu__, ? | 02:27 |
| saiki | Kubuntu__, PCSX2 | 02:28 |
| RHorse | ice109: there is a menu option that needs to be changed in vlc | 02:28 |
| mzz | ice109: afaik those thumbnails are generated through gstreamer, which is what totem uses. Might have to restart that after adding codecs. | 02:28 |
| Kubuntu__ | saiki: Ohhhh! THAT! Ahahahha I remember trying to get that to work! | 02:28 |
| chuy_max | where can I see jaunty jackalope screenshots? | 02:28 |

| Crash1hd | lifeforce4: if I had 4 gigs or ram should I have 4 gigs of swap space cause I am planing on getting more ram | 02:31 |
| sedeki | is there anyway to get past this? | 02:31 |
| lifeforce4 | Anyone know why when running Xubuntu from the CD it does not detect and mount the IDE HDD? | 02:31 |
| umpop | sedeki, go get a cd yw | 02:31 |

| sedeki | umpop it is supposed to work with a dvd-r too | 02:31 |
| admin_masu3701 | sedeki: i think you need Cd-r | 02:31 |
| RHorse | ice109: been there,. done that :) | 02:31 |
| chuy_max | admin_masu3701, yes, I've tried it in the past :), I'm not very good with graphic design though | 02:31 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, uhh sure...i am not sure if it will be there...its more just very laggy windows | 02:31 |
| lifeforce4 | Crash1hd: haha Not really 4GB of Swap would be a lot in my mind. And you probably wont susspend your sessions so I'd say 2GB. | 02:32 |
| hellvis | Ya des français ici ? :p | 02:32 |
| Pici | !fr | hellvis | 02:32 |
| ubottu | hellvis: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 02:32 |
| Crash1hd | ok :) | 02:32 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: oh, lifeforce4 has a point, if you intend to suspend/resume you may want a bit more swap | 02:32 |
| saiki | Kubuntu__, you couldn't dump yours? | 02:32 |
| hellvis | #ubuntu-fr | 02:32 |
| * mzz always forgets about that one | 02:32 | |
| rafael | hi all | 02:32 |
| Crash1hd | mzz: is that so that you dont runn into any issues that way | 02:32 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: (it'll still suspend with less swap than you have ram as long as not all your ram is in use when you suspend) | 02:32 |
| Kubuntu__ | saiki: I was looking for one online i was too lazy to deal with it any other way i was just bored one day scanning the repo's for new soft to try | 02:32 |
| umpop | sedeki, nero is ghey, try infrarecorder. | 02:32 |
| rafael | anyone knows how to get audio back on firefox flash? | 02:33 |
| lifeforce4 | umpop: It is plugged in I have the case open and other systems detect it yet when I do $mount I don't see /dev/hda# | 02:33 |
| umpop | sedeki, or just download the dvd version of bunters. | 02:33 |
| Crash1hd | mzz: ok :) | 02:33 |
| Crash1hd | that makes sense | 02:33 |
| umpop | lifeforce4, try dev /sd* | 02:33 |
| rafael | !flash | 02:33 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 02:33 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: more swap than ram really doesn't make sense if you have multiple GiB of ram imho, and less usually suffices | 02:33 |
| lifeforce4 | umpop: already tried that which is why I asked. | 02:33 |
| admin_masu3701 | chuy_max: you can try somthin else | 02:33 |
| Kubuntu__ | mzz: Your supposed to do your amount of ram in swap thats what is suggested 2gb ram = 2gb swap or so | 02:33 |
| mzz | Kubuntu__: "supposed" isn't really true imho | 02:34 |
| chuy_max | admin_masu3701, I'm looking forward to see some jaunty jackalope screenshots before I upgrade | 02:34 |

I get "Stale NFS file handle" error when trying to copy it back. I did e2fsck that lasted over 24 hours, my dmesg reported I/O errors (http://pastebin.com/d10511920) so I killed it. I would like to get my data back and was wondering if anyone had any protips. | 02:36 |
| umpop | cracken226, yep | 02:36 |
| umpop | Crash1hd, yep | 02:36 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: that sounds sane | 02:36 |
| Crash1hd | ok so now what? | 02:37 |
| admin_masu3701 | chuy_max: i see....i upgraded to jaunty but alot problems | 02:37 |
| Dimensions | mzz: i tried changing that to /initrd.img but didn't work ... in grub its initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic ... | 02:37 |
| Crash1hd | do I do another primary> | 02:37 |
| mzz | h00k: "stale nfs file handle" is a pretty weird error message if there's no nfs involved. Does dmesg show anything more useful? | 02:37 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, http://pastebin.com/d51d274cb | 02:37 |
| mzz | Dimensions: can you pastebin your grub.conf? | 02:37 |
| syntax\ | everyone's zzz :P @ umpop | 02:37 |
| admin_masu3701 | can someone please help me with sound problems cause by flash player | 02:38 |
| Crash1hd | Should I use Ext3 or Ext4? what is Ext4? | 02:38 |
| MaT-dg | I'm looking for a terminal irc client with xdcc capabilities | 02:38 |
| chuy_max | admin_masu3701, ugh, that's not good, what problems are you having other than sound problems in flash? | 02:38 |
| admin_masu3701 | cant hear sound when playing a video on youtube or other music site | 02:38 |
| Dimensions | how do i do that mzz ... it can only go to grub terminal ... can't access it otherwise .. | 02:38 |
| bonhoffer | is there an app to remove duplicate images in a directory structure based on hashing? | 02:38 |
| admin_masu3701 | chuy_max: system freezes, slow, compiz dont work | 02:39 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: at a glance that looks healthy (using ati's closed driver). Is it always slow or just with compiz (aka desktop effects) on? | 02:39 |
| mzz | Dimensions: do you have an ubuntu live cd around? | 02:39 |
| jeffrey_ | ok so | 02:39 |
| jeffrey_ | no sound in ubuntu | 02:39 |
| voss | Imagine my surprise when connecting to a network printer is actually EASIER in Ubuntu 9.04 than in windows. Ubuntu automatically detects the network printer! | 02:39 |
| jeffrey_ | cant figure it out. i have a dell vostro 220 and i went through all the steps on forums etc for fixing it but still no sound what should i do | 02:39 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, always | 02:39 |
| chuy_max | admin_masu3701, ughhh, I guess I will wait for a little bit more time, anyways I don't use it that often :p | 02:39 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, before, it never was | 02:39 |
| chuy_max | ad | 02:39 |
| rafael | helpw flash audio anyone? | 02:40 |
| Crash1hd | From what I am reading on wikipedia I should be using Ext4 any reason not too? | 02:40 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: ext4 is pretty new. | 02:40 |
| admin_masu3701 | chuy_max: u use windows? PC sucks...lol.. | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | Crash1hd: well, its really new.... | 02:40 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: (meaning there may be bugs lurking that haven't been shaken out yet) | 02:40 |
| cuddlefish | Hello, anyone know how to get BerkeleyDB set up? | 02:40 |
| Crash1hd | Ahh right Like accessing it from windows | 02:40 |
| admin_masu3701 | Crash1hd: you dont need to... | 02:40 |
| mattgyver | Crash1hd, there is a work around for that | 02:40 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: really still slow with desktop effects off? Is metacity compositing (I forgot if that's an option in your version of ubuntu)? | 02:40 |
| voss | crash, ext3 is proven and reliable. If your just experimenting sure use ext4, if you have to rely on that thing, then I wouldnt chance it | 02:41 |
| bonhoffer | i guess i want to remove all duplicates in a directory structure | 02:41 |
| cuddlefish | Crash1hd: it's technically experimental. | 02:41 |
| cuddlefish | Hello, anyone know how to get BerkeleyDB set up? | 02:41 |
| Dimensions | mzz ... i do BUT ... if that could boot i would have done fresh install ... its a Small form factor system.... 500MHz AMD ... and has problem with installation though once installed it works smoothly ... i had edgy server on it previously and was upgrading to feisty as i can install its gdm on it ... | 02:41 |
| Crash1hd | ok :) I will stick with ext3 | 02:41 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, i have no clue | 02:41 |
| unop | bonhoffer, look into fdupes | 02:41 |
| chuy_max | admin_masu3701, well, I installed several programs for work for Windows that do not perform very good using wine, so I have to use Win | 02:41 |
| mzz | Dimensions: I'm not interested in using the livecd to install from, just to boot from. Are you low enough on ram that it won't boot off the livecd? | 02:42 |
| theCarpenter | If i try adn view folder size via nautilus' properties dialogue (right click on folder + properties), it seems to give different results if im inside the folder versus out of the folder. | 02:42 |
| bonhoffer | unop, will do -- do you know if it lets me look at pictures? | 02:42 |
| Crash1hd | Is there any reason to break up partitions &or mount points or just put the rest under / ? | 02:42 |
| cuddlefish | Crash1hd: it's technically experimental. | 02:42 |
| theCarpenter | in particualr, if i right-click a particular folder and view its properties, it appears 5 gigs large, but if i enter the folder and select all the files, it says its 11 gigs large! | 02:42 |
| Sagaci | i've just lost sound in ubuntu, is there an easy way to diagnose why? speakers are turned on and volume is up an not muted | 02:42 |
| mattgyver | ext4 is experimental for ubuntu, but if i recall correctly several distros have made ext4 the standard filesystem for what its worth | 02:42 |
| admin_masu3701 | chuy_max: ok i see.. | 02:42 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: which ubuntu was it again? Can you ask the channel if your version of metacity does or doesn't have a compositor? | 02:42 |
| churl | alsamixer? | 02:42 |
| cuddlefish | Sagaci:run "alsa-config" | 02:42 |
| unop | bonhoffer, no, not really, it's a command line thing .. for a GUI app, I think gthumb has something | 02:42 |
| cuddlefish | *mixer | 02:42 |
| cuddlefish | brain-o there | 02:42 |
| Dimensions | mzz i believe 256 on this machine | 02:42 |
| bonhoffer | unop, | 02:42 |
| bonhoffer | unop, thanks | 02:42 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: and you could try the open driver, but I don't remember the right way to switch, sorry | 02:42 |
| churl | wow, i knew something! | 02:43 |
| churl | in Jaunty, is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? Since the upgrade, I can no longer find that option. | 02:43 |
| jimi_hendrix | does 8.04 have metacity that has compositing? | 02:43 |
| TheDJACR | How can I get localhost:400 to foward all traffic to otherhost:400 | 02:43 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, i have an ubuntu guide i am following | 02:43 |
| mzz | Dimensions: do you remember if the livecd boots successfully? If it does you can mount partitions and pastebin from it | 02:43 |
| Sagaci | cuddlefish: in terminal? | 02:43 |
| cuddlefish | Sagaci: Yep! | 02:43 |
| majnoon | is there a way to restart pulseaudio i switched from kde to gnome now no sound | 02:44 |
| mattgyver | TheDJACR, you might have to config that via your router | 02:44 |
| Dimensions | mzz: livecd doesn't boot ... there are some issues with its graphic card and works fine once generic kernel is installed ... | 02:44 |
| Sagaci | cuddlefish: bash: alsa-config: command not found | 02:44 |
| cuddlefish | Sagaci: I meant alsamixer | 02:44 |
| Crash1hd | Should I just set the remainder of the drive to " / " or should I be splitting things up for /boot /home ect... | 02:44 |
| cuddlefish | braino | 02:44 |
| TheDJACR | mattgyver: I can't set ubuntu to redirect the traffic? | 02:44 |
| mzz | Dimensions: hmm, ok. Did you tab-complete the path to that initrd on the grub prompt? | 02:44 |
| Sagaci | cuddlefish: bash: alsamixer-config: command not found | 02:44 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, will you be on tomorrow? | 02:44 |
| cuddlefish | Sagaci: no config | 02:45 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: can't tell yet (at least not at what hours). Just mention my nick in here, I'll show up if I'm around | 02:45 |
| cuddlefish | just "alsamixer" | 02:45 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest57433 | ||
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, ok | 02:45 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: (my client is connected pretty much 24/7 but I'm not always actually looking at it) | 02:45 |
| mattgyver | TheDJACR, you may be able to but I think the end all settings would still have to be configured to the router because its forwarding the traffic | 02:45 |
| jimi_hendrix | i am going to bed, good night | 02:45 |
| jimi_hendrix | mzz, same with mine | 02:45 |
| _duncan | Has anyone had issues installing the nvidia drivers for dual GTX260s on Ubuntu 9.04? | 02:45 |
| jeffrey_ | cant get sound working in ubuntu. what should i do | 02:45 |
| Sagaci | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 02:45 |
| TheDJACR | mattgyver: No. I want any traffic sent to 127.0.0.1:port to be relayed to another computer. | 02:46 |
| TheDJACR | Like, a proxy. | 02:46 |
| taget_ | anyone know how to reset amarok to all default settings, i cant seem to get the collections tab back on the screen | 02:46 |
| mattgyver | Oh, im not sure how to do that sorry :( | 02:46 |
| unop | TheDJACR, can you ssh to the other computer ? | 02:46 |

| _duncan | Anyone have experiance with Ubuntu 9.04 and GTX260s? | 02:47 |
| TheDJACR | :p | 02:47 |
| kohlrak | is there anyway to mount an ISO file so that it appears as if it were from a CD or DVD device (so cd and dvd ripper programs will notice it/burn to it)? | 02:47 |
| taget_ | i have a gtx280 is that helps | 02:47 |
| unop | TheDJACR, maybe iptables can help you there then . | 02:47 |
| _duncan | taget_: Sure, same driver script I am assuming | 02:47 |
| Crash1hd | Hmm why does ubunto say that 1024mb = 1.9GB and not 2GB? | 02:47 |
| taget_ | _duncan what do yo need to know | 02:47 |
| kohlrak | Crash1hd: it shouldn't even say 1.9gb.... 1024mb is 1 gib | 02:48 |
| unop | Crash1hd, 1024MB is 1GB .. dunno where those figures come from | 02:48 |
| _duncan | taget_: So I have attempted to install using the hardware drivers and it failed, and I am attempting to use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990978 to install using the download | 02:48 |
| Crash1hd | ahh lol I ment 2048mb | 02:48 |
| _duncan | taget_: Should I be worried about anything? | 02:48 |
| h00k | I'm having some issues with an external (500gb ext2) and I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I rsync'd my data to my external and needed to restore it. I get "Stale NFS file handle" error when trying to copy it back. I did e2fsck that lasted over 24 hours, my dmesg reported I/O errors (http://pastebin.com/d10511920) so I killed it. I would like to get my data back and was wondering if anyone had any protips. | 02:48 |
| TheDJACR | How about this: I am running a subnet (192.168.2.1) off of my router. It can't access the SAMBA shares on (192.168.1.*). Any ideas/ | 02:48 |
| Roasted | I'm having an rsync problem... when I run the script, I get an error that "failed to set times on /media/storagebackup/jason - operation not permitted." I own the script, its owned by jason. And I execute it without sudo. Is that a problem?? I thought I remember it working before without sudo just fine.... | 02:48 |
| mibzzer15 | for a file system, what exactly does a file swap mean? | 02:48 |
| Dimensions | mzz on / it lists initrd.img and on /boot it lists initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic .. initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic.bak and initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic-dpkg-bak ... | 02:48 |
| Crash1hd | My typo :) I ment to say why does it say 2048mb = 1.9 GB | 02:49 |
| mibzzer15 | er sorry, a Linux Swap | 02:49 |
| taget_ | _duncan did u try using the restricted driver for ubuntu ? | 02:49 |
| Crash1hd | and not 2048mb = 2GB? | 02:49 |
| _duncan | taget_: link? | 02:49 |
| _duncan | taget_: What version are you running? | 02:49 |
| Dimensions | mazz when i try booting /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic it gives that kernel panic error ... though the file is there ... | 02:49 |
| taget_ | _duncan lemme check | 02:49 |
| rob | hello | 02:49 |
| * mzz mounts his ubuntu partition to check if /initrd.img is a symlink | 02:49 | |
| rob | does anyone know if this bug has been fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebluetooth/+bug/354389 | 02:49 |
| stealth- | mibzzer15: swap is alternate ram. If your system runs out of aviable ram, it will start writing data to the harddrive the in swap area. swap is just ram thats on the harddrive, so of course its increadibly slow ram. | 02:50 |
| Seeker` | Crash1hd: Where does it say that? And it may be rounding up from 1023.9MB or something | 02:50 |
| taget_ | _duncan im running 180.44 | 02:50 |
| mibzzer15 | oh ok thanks stealth | 02:50 |
| mzz | Dimensions: /initrd.img is a symlink. iirc grub can follow those just fine, but I don't remember if you can check where it points from the grub prompt | 02:50 |
| _duncan | taget_: How did you install them? kill x11, install and then reboot? | 02:50 |
| Crash1hd | Seeker`: it says it in the install partitiong stuff | 02:50 |
| stealth- | mibzzer15: swap is nessesary for hibernation, btw. It is recommended to have half as much swap as you have ram. | 02:50 |
| mzz | Dimensions: have you tried with an actual initrd from /boot/ (the one matching the kernel you're trying to boot)? | 02:51 |
| mibzzer15 | ok | 02:51 |
| taget_ | _duncan no its eaven easier than that, ill get you the link one sec | 02:51 |
| mzz | Dimensions: and does the output you get indicate the initrd is actually loaded successfully? | 02:51 |
| stealth- | mibzzer15: sorry i meant twice as much swap, but its not really important to have that much if you dont hibernate | 02:51 |
| Dimensions | yeah mzz thats one is in /boot but gives kernel error ... | 02:51 |
| _duncan | taget_: I wonder if it is my hardware, I am having such problems :-? | 02:51 |
| daisydude | hi all | 02:52 |
| daisydude | i recently upgraded to 9.04 and my vlc menu seems to be mangled...can someone help me | 02:52 |
| voss | stealth its usually easier just to add more real ram, 4gb is now less than $50 | 02:52 |
| stealth- | voss: I know, I was explaining swap to someone | 02:52 |
| KalebsRevenge | hi got a question not strictly ubuntu but does anyone know a goood secure query event script for xchat? plz and ty | 02:53 |
| voss | stealth, I would think if someone has more than 2gb of memory in ubuntu they may be better off not having a swap partition. | 02:53 |
| daisydude | i recently upgraded to 9.04 and my vlc menu seems to be mangled...can someone help me | 02:53 |
| Anscombe | When I try to load ubuntu, i get this message along with many errors: "eth1: Failed to start the card." | 02:53 |
| Seeker` | yeah, 2x RAM is getting a bit silly now | 02:54 |
| majnoon | is there a way to restart pulseaudio i switched from kde to gnome now no sound | 02:54 |
| stealth- | voss: yeah, from what i've experienced. Except if you want to hibernate | 02:54 |
| leok | hey whats up folks | 02:54 |
| === CamargoBP is now known as CamargoBP|away | ||
| majnoon | is there a way to restart pulseaudio i switched from kde to gnome now no sound | 02:54 |
| leok | i have a quick question is it possible to disable Ipv6 in 9.04? | 02:54 |
| voss | stealth perhaps ubuntu can create a hibernate partition that does not function as a swap | 02:54 |
| Zapper | who knows alot about ubuntu herE? | 02:55 |
| mibzzer15 | omg | 02:55 |
| leok | lol | 02:55 |
| leok | it depends the prob | 02:55 |
| admin_masu3701 | majnoon: system --> preferences --> sound | 02:55 |
| stealth- | voss: im not sure, but that would be kinda pointless. then it would just be wasting space unless you hibernated, so why not have it as backup ram? | 02:55 |
| KB1JWQ | Zapper: Ask your question. | 02:55 |
| admin_masu3701 | mjnoon: try to test sound and see which one work | 02:55 |
| stealth- | Zapper: alot of us, ask your question and we will answer it if we can | 02:55 |
| voss | stealth, in systems with SSDs they dont use swap files, so how do they hibernate? | 02:56 |
| Zapper | Is it true that if i run virtualbox in ubuntu 9.04 windows will be faster? | 02:56 |
| KB1JWQ | Zapper: As opposed to what? | 02:56 |
| red__ | anyone know why openvz support removed from core in new ubuntu? | 02:56 |
| Zapper | running straight windows | 02:56 |
| KB1JWQ | Zapper: No. That's not correct. | 02:56 |
| stealth- | voss: they don't use swap? why not? I have had experience with someone once who had SSD's and the system would not entirely power off when he hibernated | 02:56 |
| Zapper | ok | 02:57 |
| KB1JWQ | You're adding a layer of abstraction; best case you'll get minimal bottlenecking, but there'll be some. | 02:57 |
| KalebsRevenge | hi got a question not strictly ubuntu but does anyone know a goood secure query event script for xchat? plz and ty | 02:57 |
| Dimensions | mzz: tried with backup'ed initrd ... and now the actual initrd goes upto running local boot scripts from rc.local and then black stops there ... its not hung but doing nothing .. | 02:57 |
| voss | stealth, swap files cause a lot of rewriting on SSDs shortens the life of them . | 02:57 |
| stealth- | Zapper: if anything it would be slower. Because your running two systems at the same time, not to mention the data has to go through ubuntu and be processed before it gets to windows | 02:57 |
| majnoon | admin_masu3701, it workd for THAT but nothing else :( | 02:57 |
| Sagaci | cuddlefish: i killed pulseaudio and it fixed it | 02:57 |

| KB1JWQ | hoymkot_: What error does it give in your logs? | 02:58 |
| admin_masu3701 | majnoon: are you using AlSA? | 02:58 |

| Zapper | Second question, im administrating a internet cafe, they're running a windows server but i want to change. i want a linux based internet cafe management program, does anyone know of one that i could use; as windows is terribly insecure | 02:58 |
| KB1JWQ | KalebsRevenge: Ask your question and wait. :) | 02:58 |
| majnoon | i think so | 02:58 |
| KalebsRevenge | ive been there about half hour | 02:58 |
| KB1JWQ | Zapper: I don't know as I'd say that Windows is terribly insecure any more so than Ubuntu is; it depends on how you harden it. | 02:58 |
| Zapper | Ok | 02:58 |
| Zapper | Alot more people know how to exploit windows than ubuntu | 02:59 |

| KB1JWQ | Zapper: Not if you patch, don't run services you don't absolutely need, etc. | 02:59 |
| charzero | Is there a setup that will install grub that will read an image from a file on an NTFS partition, or something like that? | 02:59 |

| majnoon | voss, it gets rid of windows | 03:00 |
| charzero | KB1JWQ: Install Ubuntu without breaking the existing Vista installation. | 03:00 |
| KB1JWQ | voss: No, but I HAVE heard of exploits for BIND, sendmail, apache, PHP, etc. :) | 03:00 |
| KB1JWQ | Not to mention the kernel itself. | 03:00 |
| nomasteryoda | not in the wild ... unlike windows 100,000 + viruses | 03:01 |
| nomasteryoda | those are patched very quickly in Linux | 03:01 |

| SeanSov | Hello | 03:02 |
| voss | linux may be vunerable to attacks but a successful attack on a linux machine typically does not cause the linux machine to become inoperable | 03:02 |

| saiki | np | 03:02 |
| coleys_ | KB1JWQ: He can do whatever he wishes =p | 03:02 |
| KB1JWQ | voss: Neither does a successful attack on a Windows box, but... | 03:02 |
| KB1JWQ | coleys_: Fair enough. :) | 03:02 |
| charzero | voss: No, it just lets somebody read and delete everything in your home directory, which is everything important. | 03:02 |
| stealth- | voss: um... same with windows there. The attacks are designed to keep the system operatable so the attack has power over a working machine :P | 03:02 |
| nomasteryoda | all high-value Linux systems should have A/V of some sort... because they are more likely to be targets... | 03:03 |
| KB1JWQ | Take any OS, and let a moron use it. It'll get owned sooner or later. :) | 03:03 |

| baconsalt | hi - I'm trying to get my streamzap remote to work with ubuntu. I installed lirc and used mythbuntu-lirc-generator to make a .lircrc file. When I run irw - I can see all the key presses. But then nothing happens when I open vlc or any other app... the remove does nothing... what am I doing wrong? | 03:07 |
| glitsj16 | bonhoffer: if you don't mind a terminal tool, pdftk is capable of splitting pdf's etcetera | 03:07 |
| stealth- | Crash1hd: congratz, remember to come here for questions and dont be afraid to ask :P | 03:07 |
| baconsalt | *the remote does nothing | 03:08 |
| Crash1hd | stealth-: oh I wont :) but I do have google to ask too :) | 03:08 |
| melvinram | nomasteryoda: i did netstat and it didn't give me anything that i can use | 03:08 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: What's the issue? :) | 03:08 |
| melvinram | It outputs stuff like this: b8f1110 stream 0 0 0 5b48908 0 0 /tmp/.vbox-melvinram-ipc/ipcd | 03:09 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: Take a step back. What is the problem you're attempting to solve? | 03:09 |
| melvinram | KB1JWQ: I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my macbook pro using virtualbox. I want to connect from my osx terminal to the ubuntu virtual machine using ssh (so i can dry run remote deployments) ... how do I figure out the ip of my virtual ubuntu machine? | 03:09 |
| baconsalt | does anyone know what step I'm missing? everything I've read online says my setup should work. | 03:09 |
| baconsalt | but it does nothing :( | 03:10 |
| === jay is now known as Guest46915 | ||
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: SImple. From within the virtual machine, run "ifconfig" from the terminal. | 03:10 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| KB1JWQ | That'll show what the IP configuration of each interface is. | 03:10 |

| felixsulla | Is there a way to disable only certain mouse buttons? | 03:11 |
| melvinram | ifconfig gives a bunch of stuff... is inet addr the ip? | 03:11 |
| KB1JWQ | It's likely a 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8, or a 172.16.0.0/12 IP add | 03:11 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: Yes. | 03:11 |
| mzz | melvinram: note you'll only be able to connect from the host to the guest if the guest's network is not nat-style (this is configured in the virtualbox machine settings). See the virtualbox manual. | 03:11 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Not so, it'll also work in bridge mode. | 03:11 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: exactly. bridge mode is not nat-style. | 03:11 |
| melvinram | it gives an ip of 127.0.0.1 | 03:11 |
| Roasted | Does rsync's "-a" function require root priviledges? | 03:11 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: It'll work NAT style; the host and guest share a common network. | 03:11 |
| melvinram | Does that seem reasonable? | 03:12 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: the version of virtualbox I'm looking at gives me 4 options there, with the default being nat, not bridged. | 03:12 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: Check the other interface. :) | 03:12 |
| stealth- | Im connecting to my irssi client through ssh. When the client should be beeping nothing is happening at the ssh server or my localhost. How can I enable it to beep? | 03:12 |

| KB1JWQ | You're looking at the loopback. | 03:12 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: sorry, my wording is apparently crappy. | 03:12 |

| * steffen is away: I'm busy | 03:12 | |
| LadyNikon | stealth-: they have decent docs about irssi. | 03:12 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ, melvinram: if you go to settings -> network in virtualbox you'll see an "attached to" defaulting to "nat". You want that to be "bridged adapter" if you want to connect from host to guest. | 03:12 |
| eseven73 | !away > steffen | 03:13 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: No worries. Try "If you're attempting to talk to it from OTHER hosts, you'll want it in Bridged mode so remote boxes ont he same network can see it." | 03:13 |
| ubottu | steffen, please see my private message | 03:13 |

| kernl | 365884873 | 03:15 |
| baconsalt | Purechaos: have you installed ubuntu or vista first? | 03:15 |

| Roasted | Does rsync's "-a" function require root priviledges? | 03:15 |
| Purechaos | Vista, then I installed Ubuntu and it defaults to an Ubuntu bootloader but the default option is Ubuntu, I want Vista to be the default | 03:15 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: are you absolutely sure "nat" suffices (you don't need bridged mode) to connect from the host system to the guest? Both my memory and a quick experiment give me "destination net unreachable"... | 03:16 |

| coleys | admin_masu3701: Never konqueror =p | 03:17 |
| melvinram | no, not any more | 03:17 |
| mzz | h00k: what was that a reply to? | 03:17 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Quite. Under VMWare Fusion (what I'm using right now) it builds a new network that they talk across, in the 172.16.0.0/12 range. I can talk across it provided I turn iptables off. :) | 03:17 |
| charzero | stealth-: It is fast and has great standards compliance. | 03:17 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: so I am getting an error Grub loading stage1.5 Error 18 any idea? | 03:17 |
| h00k | mzz: nevermind, I'm an idiot :) | 03:17 |
| melvinram | before i switched to bridge, it was able to | 03:17 |
| admin_masu3701 | what about swiftfox? | 03:17 |
| stealth- | charzero: it is integrated well, but however it lags on youtube with my nvidia 2gb ram system | 03:17 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: yes, but I just tried this in virtualbox, and it really doesn't work here. Are you sure virtualbox "nat" means the same thing vmware fusion "nat" does? | 03:17 |
| mibzzer15 | what file system/format should ubuntu be? | 03:18 |
| charzero | stealth-: Could be. I do not use flash. | 03:18 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Hum, install went well? Were you editing grub.lst? | 03:18 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Quite. Are you SURE ports are open? | 03:18 |
| unop | mibzzer15, the one that suits you ?? | 03:18 |
| KB1JWQ | You have to make sure traffic routes properly too. | 03:18 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: iptables is not built into the kernel on this system. Let me check the virtualbox manual myself. I thought I understood what those two options meant... | 03:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: probably the most stable, is ext3.. | 03:18 |
| mibzzer15 | unop: if i am a first time user, what should i pick | 03:18 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: install went fine rebooted and got the error | 03:18 |
| mibzzer15 | most stable ext3, ok thanks | 03:18 |
| melvinram | mzz: let me try changing the adapter type to t server | 03:18 |
| unop | mibzzer15, ext3 | 03:18 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Feel like wasting another 20 mins =p? | 03:19 |
| Crash1hd | seems that I have to create a small /boot directory and not just put all of / in the remainder of the drive | 03:19 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: sure | 03:19 |
| mibzzer15 | Ext3 journaling file system system??? | 03:19 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Cause, I would just suggest a fresh install. | 03:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: yes. | 03:19 |
| mibzzer15 | ok | 03:19 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: You can delete your linux partition from within the LiveCD. And then just install. | 03:19 |
| Zuph | Having trouble with jaunty. Running radeon driver with an odd HDTV. I have the necessary modeline, but regardless of how I change the "display" subsection in xorg.conf, it reverts to 640x480. | 03:19 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: lol figures | 03:19 |
| Stanlin | HELP! I have KVM on ubuntu, but when i open Virtual Machine Manager, the virtualization method is Greyed. Therefore I cant add or see the CD. What is wrong? | 03:19 |
| melvinram | mzz: that didn't work either | 03:19 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: D: | 03:20 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: its a 1TB drive | 03:20 |
| melvinram | KB1JWQ: so what do you suggest? | 03:20 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: Im not supprised there are issues | 03:20 |
| mibzzer15 | what should my mount point be? | 03:20 |
| Purechaos | @baconsalt: How do I save changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst ? It says I don't have permission | 03:20 |
| Stanlin | help? | 03:20 |
| mzz | melvinram: give me a second to check if I'm nuts about what "nat" means. For now just change back to that, which will at least allow the guest to access the rest of the world again | 03:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: well, that depends... probably the easiest, is to just set the mount point as / | 03:20 |
| mibzzer15 | ok | 03:20 |
| xxploit | Purechaos, open the menu.list with sudo | 03:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: did you create a swap partition? | 03:21 |
| xxploit | Purechaos, then after making changes uses sudo update-grub | 03:21 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Um wow. =p I don't even know lol 1 tb... that's unreal... I would assume ubuntu could handle it, but who knows lol. | 03:21 |
| iliketofrolic666 | how do I mount an NTFS drive? | 03:21 |
| Roasted | Does rsync's "-a" function require root priviledges? | 03:21 |
| TX-Dan | coleys: 1TB isn't such a big deal anymore ;P | 03:21 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: yep well the price was good 100$ :) cant beat that | 03:21 |
| Purechaos | sorry, I don't know the command, what would it be "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" ? | 03:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | iliketofrolic666: it should just automount | 03:21 |
| racecar56 | i picked the wrong place in the setup, and now ubuntu is playing with my bios clock! im so mad... what do i do to make ubuntu stop fooling with the bios and sync TO the bios! | 03:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | choose the ntfs drive from places menu.. | 03:21 |
| coleys | TX-Dan: it is for me =) | 03:22 |

| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: its probably not 100% necessary.. whats the specs of your PC? | 03:22 |
| coleys | TX-Dan: Candy terabytes Mmmmm. | 03:22 |
| TX-Dan | coleys: hahah | 03:22 |
| iliketofrolic666 | hmm ntfs didn't automount | 03:22 |
| mzz | melvinram, KB1JWQ: I'm pretty sure that you need to explicitly forward ports in VirtualBox if you use "NAT" as network type and want to connect from the host to the guest (not vice versa). See section 6.4.1 (Configuring port forwarding with NAT) in the virtualbox manual. | 03:23 |
| voss | TX-Dan, 1gb external $119 | 03:23 |
| coleys | iliketofrolic666: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config | 03:23 |
| racecar56 | ntfs-3g | 03:23 |
| mibzzer15 | i dont know by heart, im in the ubuntu install right now | 03:23 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Yes, but only if you want external hosts to hit that port. You can hit the NATted network from the host easily. :) | 03:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: do you know how much ram it has? | 03:23 |
| mibzzer15 | 1gb maybe | 03:23 |
| wizardslovak | hello people | 03:23 |
| iliketofrolic666 | coleys: thanks installing now | 03:23 |
| racecar56 | i picked the wrong place in the setup, and now ubuntu is playing with my bios clock! how do i make ubuntu realize i'm from GMT -6 and NOT Africa? | 03:23 |
| TX-Dan | voss, huh? | 03:23 |
| wizardslovak | i got a question | 03:23 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: Make sure that SSHD is listening, and port 22 is open in your iptables config. | 03:23 |
| voss | Oops I meant 1 tb external $119 :) | 03:24 |
| wizardslovak | my audio doesnt work when i watch youtube, | 03:24 |
| Crash1hd | bobstro: exactly like that | 03:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: are you setting up a traditional dual boot system, or are you still trying to install to an external drive? | 03:24 |
| qcjn | can't uninstall mpd, dit with synaptic, did sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mpd, nothing doesit ?? | 03:24 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: I really can't, at least not on this system, running VirtualBox 2.2.2, and the virtualbox manual agrees with me (see the section I just mentioned). Are you sure you tried this in virtualbox, and are connecting from the host to the guest (the guest talking to the host's sshd will work just fine, obviously)? | 03:24 |
| bobstro | Crash1hd: seems a reinstall would get same result, or? | 03:24 |
| TX-Dan | voss, yea just bought 2 the other day, only problem is 1TB is only backup for 3 clients projects | 03:24 |
| coleys | iliketofrolic666: Np :) It'll be located at Sys > Administation > Ntfs Config (Check the drive you want to automount, then enter it's name where you can enter text, like Vista or w/e) | 03:24 |
| melvinram | KB1JWQ: well before we get to iptables, i need to figure out what the ip of the virtual machine is | 03:24 |
| mibzzer15 | IndyGunFreak: external | 03:24 |
| voss | 1.5 gb seagate internals are going for $129 on newegg | 03:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: ok.. | 03:24 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: melvinram is right. Let's take a step back first. :) | 03:24 |
| wizardslovak | anyone? | 03:25 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: Paste the output of ifconfig to a pastebin, please. From the guest. | 03:25 |
| racecar56 | i picked the wrong place in the setup, and now ubuntu is playing with my bios clock! it's screwing my computer up and i had to go through TEN AUTO-FSCKS because of this! | 03:25 |
| Seeker` | TX-Dan: voss: Can you take the harddrive price discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic or somewhere similar please? | 03:25 |
| TX-Dan | voss, yea but maxtor guts...fail a lot more than they used to =( I can't lose a backup of a clients 20,000 project. | 03:25 |
| bobstro | Crash1hd: there's several posts on the forums archives that sound similar | 03:25 |
| mzz | melvinram: make sure you reconfigure to nat (and reboot the guest) before doing so. | 03:25 |
| Crash1hd | bobstro: coleys can I set the /boot to load on its own partition? | 03:25 |
| melvinram | thats another prob... copy paste doesn't work | 03:25 |
| neil_d | I would like to design a schematic and pcb what is the recommended software? | 03:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: justso you know, everytime i've only done that one time, but i had to use the alternate install cd.. and the OS was slow.. don't know if it was because of the USB bus speed, or what | 03:25 |
| melvinram | in the guest machine | 03:25 |
| racecar56 | TX-Dan: i have a supposively dead maxtor drive :( | 03:25 |
| TX-Dan | Seeker`, Sure thing, sorry about that. | 03:25 |
| unop | neil_d, pcb is? | 03:25 |
| mibzzer15 | IndyGunFreak: ok thx | 03:26 |
| mzz | melvinram: if you have the guest reconfigured to nat you should be able to just pastebin from completely inside the guest, no need for host <-> guest copy/paste | 03:26 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: ifconfig | pastebinit will return a result. | 03:26 |
| bobstro | Crash1hd: that shuold work, yes. just pointing out some of the detail there. i had something similar a couple of years ago. | 03:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: i still think you'd be better off, using that external drive to backup files, etc.., then just partition your drive like normal people. | 03:26 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: im not to sure about non guided installs, I wouldn't be the best person to ask. I know software, and config... Not the other stuff =p | 03:26 |
| melvinram | mzz: i'm running ubuntu server so it's not giving me a gui | 03:26 |
| neil_d | unop: ok I will give it a try. | 03:26 |
| mzz | melvinram: what KB1JWQ said | 03:26 |
| Crash1hd | ok going to try and modify the boot dir :) | 03:26 |
| racecar56 | i picked the wrong place in the setup, and now ubuntu is playing with my bios clock! it's screwing my computer up and i had to go through TEN AUTO-FSCKS because of this! i'm in irssi so its hard to see your message, so please try to make it easy to notice | 03:26 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Good luck with that =) Maybe you'll teach me in the future =p | 03:27 |
| Crash1hd | seems to be that my bios / ubuntu somewhere doesnt like the boot drive being on a 900gig drive | 03:27 |
| zeno | when the stuff on my screen is mostly black my monitor dims. is this a hardware of software issue? | 03:27 |
| melvinram | k let me try that | 03:27 |
| Crash1hd | So the next question is what size should /boot be ???? | 03:27 |
| KB1JWQ | Crash1hd: I usually give it 100 to 200 megs. | 03:27 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: 100MiB is usually plenty imho | 03:28 |
| eseven73 | racecar56, typing /lastlog racecar56 should show you any message people type to you , assuming they put your nick first | 03:28 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Does Ubuntu like to keep older kernels around after updates? | 03:28 |
| dannz | i cant get WOL to work.. broadcom BCM5782 | 03:28 |
| KB1JWQ | I've had /boot fill up on Fedora like that. | 03:28 |
| Seeker` | zeno: are you sure it isn't just because it is mostly black; with black being a darker colour than the rest of them? | 03:28 |
| Crash1hd | mzz: KB1JWQ ok :) any reason to do 200 mb over 100? | 03:28 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: I'm not sure (I'm not even in ubuntu currently, and my actual /boot isn't mounted in my ubuntu install) | 03:28 |
| KB1JWQ | Crash1hd: Depends on if Ubuntu keeps older kernels around that'll fill up /boot. | 03:28 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: :) lol I am a fast learner :) | 03:28 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: actually, iirc it does unless you wipe them | 03:29 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: (uninstall the old packages, that is) | 03:29 |

| Soviet_Bob | I'm using xubuntu 8.04, and want to create a forum. Not expecting a lot of users.. any tips here? I've got apache installed, but not sure where to go from there.. on windows 2k3, I installed PHP and MySQL and what not, it was pretty easy. | 03:29 |
| iliketofrolic666 | coleys: is writing to NTFS from linux safe? | 03:29 |
| Crash1hd | mzz: KB1JWQ ahh ok :) I can give it 200mb :) just for the hell of it :) | 03:29 |
| mzz | iliketofrolic666: using ntfs-3g: yes. Iirc ubuntu uses that one by default to mount ntfs | 03:29 |
| KB1JWQ | Soviet_Bob: Same theory. Those same things work better (read as: natively) under Linux. | 03:29 |
| eseven73 | !lamp | Soviet_Bob (start with this then look into installing phpbb forums once you do all that | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Soviet_Bob (start with this then look into installing phpbb forums once you do all that: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:30 |
| coleys | iliketofrolic666: I've had no problems, just don't delete windows system files =p | 03:30 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: If that's true, that's FANTASTIC. I'm tired of ntfs being read only by default. | 03:30 |
| mzz | Soviet_Bob: obviously use the package manager to install them, don't go downloading tarballs off php.net etc | 03:30 |
| neil_d | why when download a large file, does it stop other things using the internet like firefox? | 03:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: here's an easy setup... i forgot to just capture the gparted window, but there's my partition setup on my laptop.. its really easy to partition a drive, and you'll have a lot less "issues"... | 03:30 |
| Soviet_Bob | Thank you. *tried sudo apt-get install php, and it couldn't find it* | 03:30 |
| KB1JWQ | neil_d: It shouldn't, but it might slow things down. | 03:30 |
| mzz | KB1JWQ: pretty sure I didn't do anything special to get ntfs mounted readwrite using ntfs-3g in ubuntu 8.04, but it's been a while | 03:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/partition.jpg | 03:30 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Yeah, the default ntfs in other distros' kernels isn't ntfs-3g, so it's read only. Nice job on Ubuntu's part. | 03:31 |
| Crash1hd | Hmm should /boot be before or after the swap? | 03:31 |
| Roasted | whos good wtih rsync? Does rsync with the -a switch need root to run? | 03:31 |
| mzz | Crash1hd: if in doubt put it before | 03:31 |
| Soviet_Bob | and I see why thanks to that link! | 03:31 |
| unop | Roasted, yes if you want to preserve permissions .. which is what -a does. | 03:31 |
| neil_d | KB1JWQ: the download is going fine, but firefox can load pages. | 03:32 |
| HollywoodJumper | hello all | 03:32 |
| racecar56 | i'm really mad because ubuntu is changing my bios clock, and ubuntu thinks it is 2:32 AM! i REALLY want to fix this.... | 03:32 |
| Roasted | unop - Hm, that explains a lot then. Do you happen to know, or have a link of some sort, if there is anything else besides the -a switch that requires root permissions just so I know? | 03:32 |
| nickolaus | I just reinstalled ubuntu and I'm trying to get Hulu and such working again. Any ideas how to get most of the streaming sites to work? | 03:32 |
| melvinram | KB1JWQ & mzz: http://pastebin.com/f35102a73 | 03:32 |
| mzz | racecar56: sounds like you got the bios clock in utc question wrong, but I don't know where to fix that in ubuntu | 03:32 |
| Stanlin | How to make an ISO image? | 03:32 |
| eseven73 | !iso | 03:32 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 03:32 |
| smithsr93 | Hello, I have tried installing Alt ubuntu AMD 64, but am unable to upgrade without system locking up suspect it is is ASRock Motherboard 790GXH/128 but still having now luck. Have tried other distros, without any issues. Anyone have suggestions? | 03:32 |
| zeno | Seeker`: yes completely. the non-black area fades to barely visible | 03:32 |
| mzz | melvinram: "inet addr:10.0.2.15" | 03:32 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: :10.0.2.15 is your IP | 03:32 |
| racecar56 | mzz, no, i tried changing bios clock then ubuntu craps it again | 03:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stanlin: you trying to make one, or trying to put one on a CD/USB device? | 03:33 |
| Seeker` | zeno: no idea then | 03:33 |
| KB1JWQ | Drop the colon. :) | 03:33 |
| Stanlin | cof cof... How to MAKE an ISO image? | 03:33 |
| KB1JWQ | Stanlin: From what? | 03:33 |
| zeno | is it a compiz thing maybe? | 03:33 |
| Stanlin | from a CD | 03:33 |
| racecar56 | i can't believe ubuntu is actually doing this... this seems like a windows-like problem | 03:33 |
| KB1JWQ | dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/myiso.iso bs=1m | 03:33 |
| mzz | zeno: compiz does sort of fade out windows that are not responding | 03:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stanlin: ok.. i know it sounded stupid.. but you'd be amazed at the questions in here. | 03:33 |
| mzz | racecar56: same answer still applies | 03:33 |
| melvinram | KB1JWQ & mzz: if i try to ping it from osx terminal, it just hangs at: PING 10.0.2.15 (10.0.2.15): 56 data bytes | 03:34 |
| neil_d | Stanlin: Brasero can | 03:34 |
| Stanlin | IndyGunFreak: i know bro, but i like ubuntu, and hibernation seems to work, so ill use it now | 03:34 |
| Stanlin | neil_d: thanks bunches | 03:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stanlin: understood. | 03:34 |
| racecar56 | mzz, so what DO i do? | 03:34 |
| KB1JWQ | melvinram: iptables might be killing ICMP echos. | 03:34 |
| melvinram | k let me go into that | 03:34 |
| mzz | Stanlin: from an existing cd or an existing bunch of files? for the cd just cp (or dd)-ing the entry in /dev/ (try /dev/sr0) works for non-copyprotected cds | 03:34 |
| unop | Roasted, -o -X -g -A --super and any other option that involves privileges not held by the current user i.e. --delete, --prune, etc | 03:34 |
| mzz | racecar56: ask the channel, sorry | 03:34 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: I think I can help you. Tell me again what your problem is exactly? | 03:35 |
| wizardslovak | can anyone help me with audio problems?????????????????????/ | 03:35 |
| racecar56 | i'm really mad because ubuntu is changing my bios clock, and ubuntu thinks it is 2:32 AM! my clock 'argues' with other OS too! i'm so sick of this | 03:35 |
| mzz | racecar56: "date -u" currently *is* 02:35. If you only have ubuntu on that system you can just leave it as it currently is (that's assuming the time shows up correctly in ubuntu) | 03:35 |
| Roasted | unop - Do you know if theres ANY way to keep permissions without using root? I REALLY want to avoid using root.... | 03:35 |
| mzz | racecar56: if you dual-boot with windows you'll want to reconfigure ubuntu to store the time as localtime, not utc, but I don't know how to do that. | 03:35 |
| racecar56 | mzz, i dont do windows | 03:36 |
| Stanlin | IndyGunFreak: quick question, why Virtual machine manager, is showing the virtualization types, greyed? KVM | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | racecar56: i don't know how ubuntu woudl change your bios clock.. i've certainly never had an issue like that | 03:36 |
| TonyTheTiger | Is there an easy way i can upgrade from ubuntu 8:10 to the latest ubuntu release without comepletely re-installing the OS? | 03:36 |
| mzz | racecar56: then as long as the time is displayed correctly in ubuntu just ignore what it looks like in the bios. | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | Stanlin: i don't do Virtual machines.. sorry | 03:36 |
| unop | Roasted, i don't think there is any way .. the only user that can set proper permissions, ownership, etc on any arbitrary object is root | 03:36 |
| racecar56 | mzz, bios == right and ubuntu == wrong | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | !upgrade | TonyTheTiger | 03:36 |
| ubottu | TonyTheTiger: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 03:36 |
| racecar56 | mzz, then ubuntu fools with the bios and makes BOT wrong | 03:36 |
| Roasted | unop - that makes sense... thanks for the tip | 03:36 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: one second | 03:36 |
| racecar56 | mzz, *both | 03:36 |
| mzz | racecar56: set the time correctly once in ubuntu then (by hand) | 03:36 |

| grass0101 | Hello... have a question if anyone might be able to help: I've just upgraded to jaunty from intrepid, on intrepid I used the alt disc to install, and setup a RAID between two drives. When I upgraded to jaunty, i didn't have the alt disc. I know how to assemble the raid drive with mdadm and how to mount it, but i don't know how to modify fstab to make it mount automatically each boot. ? | 03:37 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | I just installed 9.04 | 03:37 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | and my compiz couldn't be enabled... | 03:37 |
| racecar56 | Stanlin, can't believe it, VERY dumb problem | 03:37 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: Set the clock correctly in Ubuntu first. Let me know when you've done that. | 03:37 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | nor could emerald | 03:37 |
| KB1JWQ | grass0101: Using mdm? | 03:37 |
| mzz | racecar56: ask the channel again. I can think of some reasons for this, but I don't know where this is configured in ubuntu (if it syncs off a network server, what your local timezone is, etc) | 03:37 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, i tried that like 20 times and then when i reboot it resets it | 03:37 |
| nztal | is link aggregation (link bonding) broken in jaunty ? | 03:37 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: I'm going to tell you what I think will prevent it from resetting | 03:37 |
| Stanlin | racecar56: not dumb, its me the dumb, i just need to make a new kernel | 03:37 |
| TonyTheTiger | IndyGunFreak, I cant update my ubuntu so how can i still upgrade? | 03:38 |
| mzz | racecar56: actually, output of "ls -l /etc/localtime"? | 03:38 |
| racecar56 | mzz, i have GMT -6 in RL, it thinks im in Africa | 03:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | TonyTheTiger: why can you not update it? | 03:38 |
| fijal | hi | 03:38 |
| iliketofrolic666 | when I delete something on my NTFS drive it tries to copy it to my trash (on another HDD) how do I delete it permanently instead? | 03:38 |
| racecar56 | mzz, or something ridiculous/inaccurate like that | 03:38 |
| grass0101 | yeah, i used mdadm to manually assemble the raid array, but i want to set it up to auto assemble and mount when i boot | 03:39 |
| Crash1hd | Allright creating a 250 mb boot partition infront of my 2 gig swap :) | 03:39 |
| mzz | melvinram: what happens when you try to ssh to it? | 03:39 |
| andresinix | millertimek1a2m3, did you try sudo apt-get install compiz-settins-manager? | 03:39 |
| Crash1hd | now how do I tell the system that its the boot partition | 03:39 |
| grass0101 | alt did that for me, doing manual partition but i didn't use alt to install | 03:39 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | adresinix: yes ccsm | 03:39 |
| racecar56 | mzz, i remember having to change my /etc/apt/sources.list from 'eh.blahblah.ubuntu.com' to 'us.blahblah.ubuntu.com' | 03:39 |
| TonyTheTiger | IndyGunFreak, Whenever I have tried its always not been able to do it, cant connect to files and what not. Im behind a lan proxy so using the gui for updating has never worked well. Infact installing and updating doesnt go well as they all download files themselves. | 03:39 |
| melvinram | mzz: it just hangs | 03:39 |
| melvinram | here is my iptables | 03:39 |
| melvinram | http://pastebin.com/f65b10c04 | 03:39 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | andresinix: i don't think you spelled the command right | 03:39 |
| mzz | melvinram: have you read the section of the virtualbox manual I mentioned earlier, and what version of virtualbox is this? | 03:40 |
| melvinram | for the guest machine | 03:40 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: What happens when you type, at the command line, "sudo hwclock --localtime"? | 03:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | !alternate | TonyTheTiger only thing i could suggest, would be using the alternate install CD to update your system.. | 03:40 |
| ubottu | TonyTheTiger only thing i could suggest, would be using the alternate install CD to update your system..: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 03:40 |
| melvinram | 2.2.2 | 03:40 |

| barqers | Can someone help me please? I just installed Vista over my XP partition, which installed over grub. When I boot off a live cd and enter terminal, and use the command setup (hd1) I get an error 17: cannot mount selected partition error... How Can I install grub back?! | 03:41 |

| === chrisp is now known as cpoulson_ | ||
| TonyTheTiger | IndyGunFreak, yes. | 03:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | TonyTheTiger: weird. | 03:41 |
| racecar56 | barqers, easy to fix | 03:41 |
| Stanlin | racecar56: so i think we agree you with me, we are the Dumbs | 03:41 |
| mzz | barqers: you normally need a "root" command before that. What did you say there? | 03:41 |
| racecar56 | Stanlin, yea | 03:41 |
| racecar56 | barqers, really easy | 03:41 |
| === cpoulson_ is now known as cpoulson | ||
| racecar56 | barqers, want me to tell you? | 03:41 |
| HollywoodJumper | how do i check the version of ubuntu i am running? | 03:41 |
| josh977 | cat /etc/issue | 03:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: lsb_release -a ina terminal | 03:42 |
| eseven73 | HollywoodJumper, lsb_release -a | 03:42 |
| racecar56 | barqers, trash windows | 03:42 |
| TonyTheTiger | IndyGunFreak, Its not so wierd, as Initially ubuntu was useless, after i set up the proxy's it functions somewhat but installing files is always a pain as one or 2 files always have an issue. Sucks to be behind a proxy lan. | 03:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 03:42 |
| HollywoodJumper | thanks | 03:42 |
| mzz | racecar56: he'd still have to reinstall grub afterwards :P | 03:42 |
| nomasteryoda | cool | 03:42 |
| barqers | mzz: I did root (hd1) and then tried setup (hd1) and it still produces that error. same when I try, root(hd0) and setup (hd0) | 03:42 |
| andresinix | millertimek1a2m3, perhaps, I'm pretty new... then you have installed it and go to System - Preferences - CompizConfig Settins Manager? | 03:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | TonyTheTiger: guess so. | 03:42 |
| grass0101 | any ideas on fstab? I know i need to locate the uuid of the /dev/md0, but don't know how to do that | 03:42 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | andresinix: yes | 03:42 |
| barqers | racecar56: Lol, I wish, but I need it for my computers class. Learning Visual basic and C++ coding. | 03:43 |
| RedSocrates | And racecar56, what is the output of "date"? | 03:43 |
| mzz | barqers: you normally need something like root (hdA,B), where A is the number of the drive (0 if in doubt) and B is the number of the partition (can't help you with that one) | 03:43 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | i ran the command in the terminal the skip check one adresinix and it worked | 03:43 |
| sedeki | I think my graphics is a bit slow in ubuntu compared to windows | 03:43 |
| mzz | barqers: what does "find initrd.img" say? | 03:43 |
| racecar56 | barqers, kay... might consider a VM of windows | 03:43 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | adresinix: for emerald, but compiz isn't loading | 03:43 |

| Gadu | ok, got Hardy 64-bit installed and looking to install the ATI drive from the AMD site. apparently I need some 32-bit packages installed though. what do I need to install? | 03:44 |
| droopy-ze-dog | when scp'ing large files over wifi, my laptop ALWAYS stalls... what gives? | 03:44 |
| shadow98 | can someone explain the best way to do a system backup on ubuntu...i have tried following the tar options...and they have failed... | 03:44 |
| barqers | mzz: I haven't tried "find initrd.img" But I'm on my windows partition at the moment, I'd have to reboot and boot off the live cd. | 03:44 |
| mzz | melvinram: I'll just keep pointing you at that port forwarding setup, since I'm pretty sure KB1JWQ is either not using the same virtualbox version I'm using or has host/guest backwards | 03:44 |
| nomasteryoda | barqers, so windows is working? | 03:44 |
| shadow98 | i want to be able to do a hardware independent backup | 03:44 |
| mzz | barqers: do you have your partition layout memorized? | 03:44 |
| melvinram | mzz: i'm using 2.2.2 | 03:44 |
| mzz | melvinram: as am I | 03:44 |
| RHorse | shadow98: rsync | 03:45 |
| andresinix | millertimek1a2m3, then I don't know... sorry :( perhaps someone else might help you | 03:45 |
| melvinram | mzz: where should i go to look at what you're referring to? | 03:45 |
| barqers | nomasteryoda: Yeah, Windows is fine, however, there's no linux option in the boot menu, because it's vista's mbr. | 03:45 |
| HollywoodJumper | if i dual boot. should i upgrade to 9.04 from 8.04? | 03:45 |
| shadow98 | Rhorse: rsync can do a complete system backup | 03:45 |
| mzz | melvinram: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads has a link to the manual. | 03:45 |
| barqers | mzz: Yeah, only two disks, /dev/sdb is linux, /dev/sda is windows | 03:45 |
| nomasteryoda | ok, and you did an install to another partition... | 03:45 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: So typically, when you start up, your clock is 6 hours ahead? | 03:45 |
| Apaxis | barqers: i think you want grub-install (man grub-install) | 03:45 |
| Y-Town | anyone know a good app to record desktop into video? | 03:45 |
| droopy-ze-dog | anyone know why scp over wifi always stalls on my laptop? Tried on various networks | 03:45 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, ok, it's wrong again | 03:45 |
| mzz | melvinram: it's section 6.4.1 in that manual (read the rest of 6.4 for more background information that might be useful) | 03:46 |
| RHorse | shadow98: dd | 03:46 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: You rebooted? | 03:46 |
| barqers | Apaxis: And I can run that from a terminal in a livecd? "man grub-install" | 03:46 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, yea | 03:46 |
| felixsulla | What do you do with your windows key when you install Ubuntu? | 03:46 |
| KB1JWQ | droopy-ze-dog: It's likely not scp itself; do FTP transfers die as well? | 03:46 |
| racecar56 | windows key? | 03:46 |
| racecar56 | whats that | 03:46 |
| Apaxis | barqers: yes, man will show you the manual, the command is grub-install | 03:46 |
| mzz | barqers: ok, then it'd be root (hd1,SOMETHING), but I'm not sure what the SOMETHING would be | 03:46 |
| nickolaus | I just reinstalled ubuntu and I'm trying to get Hulu and such working again. Any ideas how to get most of the streaming sites to work? I am installed flash but it doesn't seem to work. | 03:46 |

| Apaxis | mzz: he doesnt even have grub yet bro | 03:46 |
| mzz | Apaxis: he's running that off the livecd | 03:46 |
| Apaxis | mzz: he wants to replace M$ MBR with grub | 03:47 |
| shadow98 | RHorse: you can't do file level restores with it can you..and it takes exact image...like i have a 40gb drive...and it makes the image file almost 40 gb.. | 03:47 |
| racecar56 | felixsulla, k... | 03:47 |
| droopy-ze-dog | KB1JWQ, it only stalls when I'm scp'ing from my laptop to another device. Download works fine | 03:47 |
| Apaxis | running what off? | 03:47 |
| barqers | nomasteryoda: True, however it won't even let me install grub on the linux partition lol. it's completely whack | 03:47 |

| RHorse | shadow98: there are gui backup solutions but I'm not up on them. You could try linuxappfinder.com | 03:48 |
| Apaxis | grub doesnt install on a partition, it installs to the Master Boot Record | 03:48 |
| nomasteryoda | oh hope it works for him | 03:48 |
| sebas891 | Is it possible to install Hardy 8.04.2, using the installer from 8.10 ? | 03:48 |
| nomasteryoda | Apaxis, yup | 03:48 |

| nomasteryoda | but will install on the first drive it sees as the boot drive... sda1's mbr | 03:48 |
| shadow98 | RHorse: i am looking for command line only....i am doing bare system..just the essentials... | 03:48 |

| Apaxis | nomasteryoda: i know, just explaining to this guy, hes trying to install grub to his mbr | 03:49 |
| shadow98 | racecar56: what would that be | 03:49 |
| sebas891 | or... anyone, is aware on how to install ubuntu 8.04.2 with the module partman-auto-raid | 03:49 |
| TonyTheTiger | is there a way i can do the update of my ubuntu from terminal? | 03:49 |
| racecar56 | shadow98, command line ubuntu | 03:49 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: Open /etc/default/rcS and find the line that says "UTC=" | 03:49 |
| nomasteryoda | Apaxis, i know... | 03:49 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: What does it say after the = sign? | 03:49 |
| apot | mzz: trying it, thanks | 03:49 |
| melvinram | gahh why doesn't it jus work | 03:49 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, UTC=no | 03:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | TonyTheTiger: if you're blocked by proxy, i don't see how doing it from terminal is gonna make a difference | 03:50 |
| sebas891 | eseven73: there is no aways around? you know the reason why it's not possible? | 03:50 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: Change it to yes, reboot, and see what happens. If it doesn't work, you can change it back to no. | 03:50 |
| TonyTheTiger | IndyGunFreak, I have configured both GUI and Terminal for proxy although terminal works better. | 03:50 |
| RHorse | melvinram: junk in junk out :) | 03:50 |
| shadow98 | racecar56, i got that part i am just installing server edition...with openssh server..and then apache and mysql...that is all i need for now.. | 03:50 |
| eseven73 | sebas891, not enough room on a cd to fit all the Ubuntu installs on them is my guess | 03:51 |
| melvinram | RHorse: huh? | 03:51 |
| TonyTheTiger | Im not block, its just ubuntu doesnt work too well with recieving internet through proxy | 03:51 |
| TonyTheTiger | blocked* | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | TonyTheTiger: i'm not sure how to upgrade via terminal.. i'm sure it can be done, just not sure how. | 03:51 |
| droopy-ze-dog | can anyone help, scp with large files stalls everytime | 03:51 |
| droopy-ze-dog | IndyGunFreak, isn't it just "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 03:51 |
| droopy-ze-dog | or dist-upgrade | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | droopy-ze-dog: i think you have to do some changes to your source list for that to work | 03:52 |
| TonyTheTiger | droopy-ze-dog, is this for installing updates to the os? | 03:52 |
| sebas891 | eseven73: I'm using a netboot install with preseed, ( I want to have a full automated install) with raid :) | 03:52 |
| nomasteryoda | melvinram, did you look through this kind of post? http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148 | 03:52 |
| nomasteryoda | the vboxmanage should help out | 03:52 |
| eseven73 | sebas891, raid is way out of my league, you'll have to ask someone else about that, best of luck to you though :) | 03:53 |
| melvinram | nomasteryoda: i haven't but i'm reading it now | 03:53 |
| droopy-ze-dog | TonyTheTiger, that's for upgrading to a newer version of the OS. | 03:53 |
| TonyTheTiger | well whatever happens, iv invoked the sudo apt-get upgrade. | 03:53 |
| nomasteryoda | the same things apply melvinram to the current version | 03:53 |
| TonyTheTiger | either itll break the os or do something nice. | 03:53 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, its wrong | 03:53 |
| mzz | melvinram: at a glance what nomasteryoda linked to is the same port forwarding setup described in the manual I linked to | 03:53 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: Still the same as before? | 03:53 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, ya | 03:53 |
| sebas891 | eseven73: thanks! I keep on searching. I was able to get it working on 8.10 but I want it on 8.04.2 for the lts | 03:54 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, so vim out the UTC=yes and turn it into no? | 03:54 |
| KB1JWQ | droopy-ze-dog: dd over netcat do the same thing? | 03:54 |
| nomasteryoda | mzz, yup... hope that is described a little simpler on that linked page... and it has a tunneling link howto as well | 03:54 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: I guess so. It seems not to affect anything | 03:54 |
| * mzz nods | 03:54 | |
| droopy-ze-dog | KB1JWQ, not sure what you mean | 03:54 |
| bonhoffer | i am hoping to set up my computer so i can tunnel to it over https and run all my apps -- secure from public wifi -- any guides? | 03:55 |
| churl | in Jaunty, is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? Since the upgrade, I can no longer find that option. | 03:55 |
| nickolaus | I just reinstalled ubuntu and I'm trying to get Hulu and such working again. Any ideas how to get most of the streaming sites to work? I am installed flash but it doesn't seem to work. | 03:55 |
| mzz | bonhoffer: might want to use ssh for that | 03:55 |
| mibzzer15 | IndyGunFreak: now I am getting a GRUB error 18 | 03:55 |
| RHorse | nickolaus: install v. 10 from adobe site. | 03:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: i tried to tell you | 03:56 |
| bonhoffer | mzz, ssh is blocked from some wifi | 03:56 |
| bonhoffer | (at work) | 03:56 |
| mzz | ah | 03:56 |
| mzz | not sure then, sorry | 03:56 |
| ZauberExonar | Okay folks, a friend of mine has a severe graphics problem on her computer, and it's in a virtually unusable state. I'm trying to help her troubleshoot, and found out that the xorg.conf was generated by a program called "defconf". How is this program invoked, and is it simple enough for someone with little command-line experience to use? | 03:56 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: Are you using GNOME? | 03:56 |
| platius | nickolaus; amd64? | 03:56 |
| mibzzer15 | IndyGunFreak: other than being like that, what can I do to fix it? | 03:56 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, yes | 03:56 |
| mzz | ZauberExonar: debconf, not defconf, probably? | 03:56 |
| KB1JWQ | bonhoffer: It's your server? Then why not bind SSH to a port that isn't 22? | 03:56 |
| nomasteryoda | mibzzer15, because the grub is not finding the /boot/grub/menu.list which is over on the windows drive's mbr | 03:56 |
| KB1JWQ | That'll get past most things. | 03:56 |
| ZauberExonar | defconf | 03:56 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, i have KDE also... but at the moment om on gnome | 03:56 |
| melvinram | mzz & nomasteryoda: port forwarding doesn't seem like a good idea since i'll need those ports on my machine as well. I think i'm just going to fck it and put off this task since it's not mission critical. maybe i'll try parallels or fusion or something. | 03:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: like what? | 03:57 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, *i'm | 03:57 |
| bonhoffer | KB1JWQ, yes, that is what i want to do | 03:57 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: Have you tried rightclicking on the clock and choosing "Adjust Time & Date" and going through all that again? | 03:57 |
| mzz | melvinram: no need to forward port 22 on the guest to 22 on the host... | 03:57 |
| bonhoffer | use ssh over 443 | 03:57 |
| mibzzer15 | IndyGunFreak: like the I told you so thing | 03:57 |
| nomasteryoda | melvinram, those will still need to portforward.... | 03:57 |
| RedSocrates | racecar56: Also, does it say there whether the clock is set to UTC or localtime? | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: well i did... | 03:57 |
| bonhoffer | the question is how to do it | 03:57 |
| KB1JWQ | bonhoffer: On the server, set ssh to listen to an alternat port in sshd_config | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | mibzzer15: and honestly, i don't knwo how to fix it.. investigate grub errors, and try to go from there.. i told you how to do it right | 03:57 |
| KB1JWQ | Restart SSH. | 03:57 |
| mzz | melvinram: you can just forward 22 on the guest to something like 2222 on the host, after which pointing ssh to hostsip:22 gives you the host's sshd, and hostsip:2222 gives you the guest's | 03:57 |
| KB1JWQ | You're done. :) | 03:57 |
| KB1JWQ | That's what I do all the time. | 03:57 |
| FloodBot2 | KB1JWQ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:57 |
| Roasted | unop - are you here still? | 03:57 |
| nickolaus | rhorse I tried to download install_flash_player_10_linux.deb but when I double click on it, my package installer issues the following "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'" any ideas? I'm on a 64bit install. Not AMD | 03:57 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, no | 03:57 |
| racecar56 | RedSocrates, dont say | 03:57 |
| mibzzer15 | IndyGunFreak: ok | 03:57 |
| bonhoffer | KB1JWQ, yeah -- i had problems ... | 03:58 |
| AERAS12 | I AM LOOKING A GIRL CYBER MSN COME PANTOKERITIS2@HOTMAIL.COM | 03:58 |
| RHorse | bonhoffer: need to edit ssh_config | 03:58 |
| melvinram | mzz & nomasteryoda: what i dont get is why i need portforwarding even if i dont want any other machines on the network to get to the virtual machine | 03:58 |
| KB1JWQ | RHorse: NO. sshd_config to change the port. | 03:58 |
| nickolaus | platius not an amd processor but yeah, 64bit install. | 03:58 |
| melvinram | I just need the host to connect to the guest | 03:58 |
| melvinram | why is that so far | 03:58 |
| melvinram | hard | 03:58 |

| barqers | guys, I just reinstalled my grub, BUT, now vista won't load when I select it in the grub menu, however I can get onto my windows partition? Vista is on /dev/sda1 and in menu.lst it's (hd0,0) | 04:08 |
| RedSocrates | NotanExpert: A 64 bit version of flash? | 04:08 |
| NotanExpert | Redocrates: aye | 04:08 |
| admin_masu3701 | NOtanExpert: flash is acting really weard ....no sound and uses alot CPU | 04:09 |
| Wolfcastle | barqers, post your menu.lst in pastebin | 04:09 |
| admin_masu3701 | can someone help me with flash player....theres not sound | 04:09 |
| TonyTheTiger | IndyGunFreak, The Sudo apt-get upgrade seems to have done the trick, now i only have 12 updates remaining as opposed to the 200+ before | 04:09 |
| barqers | Wolfcastle: http://pastebin.com/m5e9b18e | 04:09 |
| barqers | Wolfcastle: I've tried it as (hd0,0) (hd1,0) and (hd0,1) | 04:10 |
| RHorse | admin_masu3701 and NotanExpert flash is just a matter of downloading the latest libflashplayer.so and inserting it into the proper directory. | 04:10 |
| RedSocrates | NotanExpert: This should get you 64-bit flash set up: http://www.dailygyan.com/2008/11/install-64-bit-flash-player-plugin-for.html | 04:10 |
| syntax\ | i mean i have to use Human controls to have it working/ what about my themes? | 04:10 |
| felixsulla | When you are in $ man <whatever> and it has a see also section, is there a way to just jump right to it without quitting back to the shell? | 04:10 |
| shankel | Hey everybody - just installed Ubuntu! | 04:11 |
| dtchen | admin_masu3701: amd64 or i386? | 04:11 |
| etzerd | hi everyont | 04:11 |
| felixsulla | shankel: Good job :D | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | etzerd: hi | 04:11 |
| admin_masu3701 | detchen: 64 | 04:11 |
| churl | shankel: YEAH! | 04:11 |
| Wolfcastle | barqers, did you say windows vista is in /dev/sda1? | 04:11 |
| HollywoodJumper | if i run Sudo apt-get upgrade will it automatically install 9.04? | 04:11 |
| admin_masu3701 | flash was working fine til last night | 04:11 |
| churl | Is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? Since the upgrade, I can no longer find that option. | 04:11 |
| Wolfcastle | barqers, because if that's the case, it should say hd0,0 in menu.lst | 04:12 |
| Petrus | hey everyone...couple of minor issues. First I wanted to know what the default patch switches are for applying patches to Ubuntu src packages...and the second thing is some weirdness with the repo which I figured you might want to know about. | 04:12 |
| HollywoodJumper | shankel>welcome | 04:12 |
| RHorse | admin_masu3701: find out where your plugin directory(s) resides, get libflashplayer.so, and copy it to that directory(s) | 04:12 |
| shankel | thanks! :) I've got it setup as a dual boot with windows. Does anyone know how to setup GRUB so that it will automatically boot to my windows partition rather then Ubuntu? I'd like to keep it that way for a while until I get more used to Ubuntu | 04:12 |
| etzerd | sebsebseb: can you tell me the website that I can donwload codecs and some other restricted for Ubuntu? someone tell me last week and I forget the address | 04:12 |

| jp_sf | HollywoodJumper : no you need to upgrade Intrepid to joaunty ? | 04:13 |
| TonyTheTiger | just to make sure guys, the text based "alternate cd" is the "alternate cd" correct? | 04:13 |
| jp_sf | HollywoodJumper : no you need to upgrade Intrepid to jaunty ? | 04:13 |
| etzerd | yes thanks | 04:13 |
| Wolfcastle | barqers, ok then you need to change root for windows vista in your menu.lst | 04:13 |
| Wolfcastle | barqers, it says hd0,1 in your post | 04:13 |
| barqers | Wolfcastle: Okay, let me try (hd0,0) but when I click vista in the grub menu, I don't get an error, it says loading grub2 and then goes back to the grub menu. | 04:14 |
| platius | NOtanExpert;admin_masu3701; http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-flash-not-working-after-jaunty-upgrade-64bit.html you might check here | 04:14 |
| jp_sf | HollywoodJumper: to upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade but do some readings before | 04:14 |
| HollywoodJumper | what about 8.04 is that intrepid or hearty heron? | 04:14 |
| Petrus | I had some sort of weird crash a bit back and the kernel had to get reinstalled...linux_2.6.27-11. That in itself wasn't a huge drama, but now I need to re-add the nvidia binary driver for my video card, which I can't do because I haven't been able to get hold of the source for that particular kernel build from synaptic. Although I downloaded the orig file and the diffs from the web, and I'm about to try and patch the source myself. | 04:14 |
| abe3k | hi guys, I have ubuntu 9.04 and the virtual consoles were working before on 9.04 but now they only show a blinking cursor, what could've caused this problem ? | 04:14 |
| Mood | is it safe to kill -9 update-manager? it seems stuck for the past hour... | 04:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: thats hardy heron | 04:15 |
| Wolfcastle | barqers, that's weird since according to fdisk hd0,1 shouln't even exist | 04:15 |
| Petrus | Mood try it. The worst that will prolly happen is you being dumped out to gdm, or having to reboot. | 04:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: so if you want to upgrade to 9.04, you'll have to go 8.04 to 8.10, then 8.10 to 9.04 | 04:16 |
| barqers | Wolfcastle: My thoughts exactly, but with grub> setup (hd0,1) it says it succeeds. | 04:16 |
| HollywoodJumper | jp_sf>so do i want to upgrade to intrepid from hardy? | 04:16 |
| balleyne | is there a proper name for the output you see from a program when you run it from the command line? the trace? standard output? ... | 04:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: you don't just want to, you have to.. you can't go from Hardy to Jaunty | 04:16 |
| barqers | Wolfcastle: I'll reboot and try (hd0,0) | 04:17 |
| greg_ | Hey folks. Admitted newbie to Ubuntu--I just installed 8.10 and can set screen resolution greater than 800 x 600 | 04:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | greg_: what graphics device? | 04:17 |
| HollywoodJumper | IndyGunFreak>ok , but what is the benefit of upgrading to 8.10 from 8.04? | 04:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: same benefit as upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04.. updated packages, bug fixes, etc. | 04:18 |
| greg_ | Trident Cyberblade... I found the driver with Synaptics | 04:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | greg_: what is the device? | 04:18 |
| HollywoodJumper | IndyGunFreak>so do i need to back anything up if i upgrade? | 04:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: that would be wise in case something goes wrong. | 04:19 |
| greg_ | Trident microsystems Cyberblade XPA.1 rev 82 | 04:19 |
| abe3k | I have ubuntu 9.04 and the virtual consoles were working before ,but for some reason now they only show a blinking cursor, what could've caused this problem ? | 04:19 |
| HollywoodJumper | IndyGunFreak>what if i dual boot? | 04:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | greg_: do you know what chipset that is?.. never heard that one. | 04:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: still a good idea to backup.. "just in case" | 04:19 |
| jawall | I just upgraded to Jackalope. Performance is excellent when running on battery power. Pluggin in the AC power runs CPU usage up to well over 90%. Suggestions? | 04:19 |
| greg_ | Intel, I think. Itś on a Toshiba laptop | 04:20 |
| barqers | Wolfcastle: It says "Starting... Grub loading stage2" then retreats to the grub menu again | 04:20 |
| barqers | Nothing happens. | 04:20 |
| NotanExpert | thanks guys think that worked great :) | 04:20 |
| HollywoodJumper | IndyGunFreak>could my upgrade to 8.10 affect my other partition with windows om it? | 04:20 |
| Elite | I have the hardy version of Ubuntu Desktop installed on my machine, how can I install samba server on it? | 04:20 |
| greg_ | hold on and Iĺl lspci again. | 04:20 |
| jawall | barqers: sounds like gnome or kde is fubar | 04:20 |

| HollywoodJumper | ha sanyone her ever messed around with FREEBSD? | 04:22 |
| jawall | Anyone know why CPU usage goes up to max when the AC is plugged into the maptop? | 04:22 |

| Wolfcastle | shankel, you can configure that in menu.lst | 04:23 |
| Elite | jawall: chances are your power driver is messed | 04:23 |
| PhotoJim | shankel: boot into Linux, and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst ... there's an entry there for the default. Bear in mind that the first entr is zero, and the line dividers it prints count in the numbering. | 04:23 |

A few hours later I shut ti down, moved the computer downstairs, and started it up again. Now... it boots up normal, logs in like normal. I hear sound. I see wallpaper. I can't press ctrl+alt+delete and logout. But that's it. No panels. Can't bring up a terminal. Alt+F2 does nothing | 04:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | HollywoodJumper: i always tend to stay current.. but thats not for everyone.. some folks like the long term support behind LTS releases (like 8.04).. | 04:30 |

| racecar56 | sebsebseb, kkz | 04:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | racecar56: well, 5.10 was befor that.. so maybe dapper just took a bit longer than they thought it was going to.. because they went from 6.06, to 6.10 | 04:35 |

| KB1JWQ | Tophu: The source folder you built from. | 05:04 |
| KB1JWQ | It uses the file configure generates to define the make target. | 05:04 |
| Qwell | Tophu: the source, if such a target exists. it doesn't always. | 05:04 |
| Roasted | KB1JWQ - Here's my dilemma in a quick sentence. Rsync -a does EXACTLY what I want, but running -a requires root priviledges to handle. The thing is, I do not want root to be involved because my rsync'd data goes to /media/storage. /media/storage, when mounted, is owned by me (jason), but if that drive dies, /media/storage is owned by root, wherefore my script would fail which is what I want. If the drive dies, I want the script to fa | 05:05 |
| Roasted | il. Yet I dont know how to do this besides running as nonroot to that folder. | 05:05 |
| Roasted | so I'm trying to find out how I can work around this curve ball. | 05:05 |
| Tophu | :-( pretty sure that folder is gone ... can I reinstall wine on top of itself or something? | 05:05 |
| KB1JWQ | Roasted: Let's take it to PM. | 05:05 |

| ralmars | Hey guys, (I have to admit a part of me is a bit embarrassed) I just wanted to know how well Ubuntu 9.04 ran on the new Macbook Pro? Are there any driver issues? Does everything (hardware wise) work well? What about the trackpad and gestures? Thanks | 05:13 |

| bc | mzz: ah. do they sell barebones netbooks? | 05:13 |
| Petrus | ral...don't you have OSX for a Macbook? | 05:13 |
| mzz | bc: but basically this means it's really hard to find a system that just barely exceeds those maximum specs that allow manufacturers to ship xp (they're either right at the limit or well over it so it can run vista comfortably) | 05:13 |
| rkavalap | how does this irc work | 05:13 |

| ralmars | coleys, and petrus I havent bout a macbook pro yet... have never had a mac... ever... | 05:13 |

| d0htem | skype works on ubuntu as well | 05:22 |
| mzz | Urik: can you give an example input and desired output? | 05:22 |

| coleys | tgr: Hum, are you using any extra effects? | 05:23 |
| tgr | HollywoodJumper, gizmo is sometimes good | 05:23 |
| tgr | coleys nope | 05:23 |
| tgr | been like this since install coleys | 05:23 |
| coleys | HollywoodJumper: Ekiga is free, im pretty sure. So is skype. | 05:23 |
| Urik | mzz: exactly. I want to single out the filename. so I do an echo /home/uri/lol.txt | cut -d"/" -f | 05:23 |
| Urik | but the path is a variable | 05:23 |
| tgr | you know how computers run when they have too much cpu stuff going on that is what it is running like now that i upgraded to 9.04 eventhough i am not running much of anything | 05:23 |
| mzz | Urik: mmm, from skimming the manpage I'm not sure if cut does this, but hang on | 05:23 |
| Urik | so the number after the -f should change | 05:23 |
| coleys | tgr: Im not really sure what's going on. =( I find some intalls to be choppy. Did you just recently install? | 05:24 |
| DJvRadio | there be a driver conflict trogs | 05:24 |

| mzz | Urik: (sed could do it, but I'm trying to find a prettier way) | 05:25 |
| coleys | HollywoodJumper: eww. Try deluge or transmission | 05:25 |
| d0htem | swoody: escape when it says escape to eneter menu on reboot | 05:25 |
| tgr | coleys should i go back and fresh install 9.04 i386? | 05:25 |
| d0htem | grub menu :D | 05:25 |
| coleys | HollywoodJumper: ktorrent is for kde. | 05:25 |
| hoymkot_ | how do i download from ubuntu 9.04 to 8.10 | 05:25 |

| Petrus | mzz cut is fine...all he needs is the right field number | 05:25 |

| mzz | Petrus: afaict cut doesn't have a way to say "last field" | 05:25 |
| Petrus | expr in a variable, mzz :) | 05:25 |
| blaenk | so that I can connect to it and edit files as if they were on my own computer, I am on gnome | 05:25 |
| HollywoodJumper | coleys>i cant fihure out how to use Transmission | 05:25 |
| mzz | Petrus: ugh, that sounds considerably more complicated than just doing it with a re | 05:26 |
| Urik | thanks mzz. | 05:26 |
| Petrus | count up the number of slashes or whatever else you need, and then work backwards | 05:26 |
| tgr | i have 2 installs on my system already and it works the same on the other too | 05:26 |
| swoody | d0htem> then how do I make it use that kernel from then on, instead of auto-booting the new one? | 05:26 |
| coleys | tgr: If you experience the same problems, then you'll know it has to do with that. and you can return to i386 | 05:26 |

| d0htem | swoody: u could remove the newest kernel by searching linux-image in synaptic, but i wouldnt recommened that | 05:26 |
| Petrus | mzz not for me it isn't...I've tried learning regexes...none of the ones I find online work with either sed or grep | 05:26 |
| Petrus | they're all perl or .net now | 05:26 |
| HollywoodJumper | coleys>how do i search for files? | 05:26 |
| d0htem | swoody: what program needs re compiling?? | 05:26 |
| tyler_d | lstarnes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164661/ is my configuration | 05:26 |
| mzz | Urik: try sed -e 's:.*/\(.*\):\1:' | 05:26 |
| Petrus | and neither of them are compatible with grep | 05:26 |
| coleys | HollywoodJumper: Via command line? sudo apt-cache search packagename | 05:27 |
| Crash1hd | What is the difference between seperate x and twin view duel moniters? | 05:27 |
| tyler_d | lstarnes: nothing re: dhcp within there.. trying to configure it static | 05:27 |
| hoymkot_ | where are you ubotto | 05:27 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Twin makes it so you can drag from one screen to the other. | 05:27 |
| tgr | coleys but shouldn't amd64 9.04 run flawlessly on a notebook with turion 64 x2 processor? | 05:27 |
| mzz | Urik: (which is ugly, I wish I knew a command to reverse each line in a file) | 05:27 |
| blaenk | anybody? | 05:27 |
| swoody | d0htem> well the latest kernel disabled internet on an Acer Aspire one, and I read it's a kernel bug, and to roll back for it to work again | 05:27 |
| blaenk | hey guys, how can I add my ftp server to my remote places again? I am on gnome | 05:27 |
| Matson | can someone help me understand this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clearsilver/+bug/86685 -it describes exactly the problem I'm having, but I don't seem to find the fix | 05:27 |
| mzz | Urik: (so you could do that, then cut -f1 -d/, then reverse each line again) | 05:27 |
| lstarnes | tyler_d: dhclient usually won't be started unless your interfaces use dhcp for configuration | 05:27 |
| coleys | tgr: Yeah it really should, I don't know what's going on =/ | 05:27 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: ok so twin is like having 1 extended desktop | 05:28 |
| HollywoodJumper | coseys>so i search for files using transmission but through terminal? | 05:28 |
| tyler_d | lstarnes: however when I do ifconfig after starting eth0 is not shown? | 05:28 |
| J-_ | what dynamic DNS update protocol is used with freedns.afraid.org? | 05:28 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Yeah basically. | 05:28 |
| mzz | Petrus: I can never remember where to backslash-escape, because it differs between grep, egrep and sed | 05:28 |
| Urik | works like a charm. thanks mzz | 05:28 |
| lstarnes | tyler_d: try ifconfig -a | 05:28 |
| Matson | when it says "Nominated for Hardy" and fix released - what do I do to get it? | 05:28 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: ahh ok thanks | 05:28 |
| lstarnes | tyler_d: and try adding "auto eth0" before eth0's iface line | 05:28 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: I see the fresh install worked, grats =) | 05:28 |
| Petrus | mzz...exactly...I'll quite happily write out 5-10 lines in bash if I have to, in order to be able to avoid a regex. I like code that I can actually read. ;) | 05:29 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: yes yes it did :) needed to make that /boot partition small | 05:29 |
| mzz | Urik: although there's actually a "basename" tool that just does what you want | 05:29 |
| tyler_d | lstarnes: ok... added that and bouncing | 05:29 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Ohh nice, manually partitioned then? | 05:29 |
| Matson | what does this mean "It has been fixed in the development release by syncing that fix from Debian" -- from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clearsilver/+bug/86685 | 05:29 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: yes | 05:29 |
| Urik | :'| lol | 05:29 |
| mzz | Petrus: I usually resort to trial and error to figure out which backslash escapes I need. Apart from that they're not that bad. | 05:29 |
| Urik | good to know | 05:30 |
| lstarnes | tyler_d: once that line is added it should be configured automatically on startup to use the static ip. also, without restarting, try sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 05:30 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: You rock then haha. I could never figure that out =p | 05:30 |
| tyler_d | lstarnes: doh... already bouncing.... | 05:30 |
| HollywoodJumper | coleys>do i need to know the name of the torrent file before i search in terminal? | 05:30 |

| tyler_d | lstarnes: shouldn't take to long... decent box config. | 05:30 |
| coleys | HollywoodJumper: search for torrents at http://mininova.org | 05:30 |
| tyler_d | lstarnes: and tada its back up just like that tyvm :) | 05:30 |
| swoody | d0htem> ok, thx :) | 05:30 |
| ade__ | I can't seem to switch user. When I try to "switch user", all I ever get is the screensaver. There is a "switch user" button there, but it doesn't respond. The only thing that works is reentering my password, and I'm back to myself. Any ideas how to make switch user work? | 05:30 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: :) thanks heres the odd one now that i have done dual moniters my main bar where you can close programs with the x is gone on all apps? | 05:31 |
| d0htem | swoody: np np | 05:31 |
| mzz | ade__: are you running gdm? | 05:31 |

| HollywoodJumper | coleys>i ahve been tryin to download from mininova.org and have had many successful downloads through ktorrent but recently they have stalled without reason. | 05:31 |
| mzz | ade__: then I don't know, sorry | 05:31 |
| lstarnes | Matson: it might mean that a fix has been released but has only been committed to the development release (9.10) but not committed to stable releases like 8.04-9.04 | 05:31 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: no bar at all | 05:32 |

| ade__ | mzz, you think it has something to do with using gdm? | 05:32 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Hmmm, are you trying to use emerald by chance? | 05:32 |
| Matson | lstarnes: thanks | 05:32 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: nope | 05:32 |
| Matson | it looks like a bug from 2007 but still in hardy | 05:32 |
| mzz | ade__: no, I suspect that it won't work at all if you're not (if you're using startx or the like) | 05:32 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Alt + f2 --> metacity --reload | 05:32 |
| lstarnes | Matson: I might be wrong about that though. it may need some additional testing before being committed | 05:32 |
| mzz | ade__: I don't use this feature myself though, I'm always myself (although often spread across multiple systems through ssh :) | 05:32 |
| yn_ | the specific question that i have is: how do I install UNR so taht I don't ruin my ability to restore? | 05:33 |
| tyler_d | still getting -- * Stopping domain name service... bind rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused | 05:33 |
| lstarnes | tyler_d: did bind even get started? | 05:33 |
| KB1JWQ | tyler_d: So it can't communicate to localhost. Odd. | 05:33 |
| yn_ | do a system restore that is | 05:33 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: nothing happened | 05:33 |
| KB1JWQ | yn_: Your netbook should have come with a CD that lets you reimage it without the restore partition. | 05:34 |
| coleys | Crash1hd: Lemme understand, uhhh you can't see the top bar of windows? | 05:34 |
| tyler_d | bind was started | 05:34 |
| KB1JWQ | Failing that, just don't blow away the tiny partition when you install. | 05:34 |
| yn_ | no, the s10 comes with a hidden partition that acts as the restore | 05:34 |
| tyler_d | reconfigured /etc/resolve.conf and bounced the network and bind9 | 05:34 |
| KB1JWQ | tyler_d: You sure? netstat confirmed it was running? | 05:34 |
| Crash1hd | coleys: correct | 05:34 |

| lstarnes | Matson: read the rest of the line | 05:37 |
| Matson | to go grom 8.04 -> 9.04, I would use dist-upgrade , right? | 05:37 |

| jawall | how to I repair that? | 05:45 |
| jawall | ah | 05:45 |
| rkavalap | jawall: you need to check your power management settings in bios and the OS | 05:45 |
| lstarnes | Matson: it might be that trac needs to use python2.4 | 05:45 |
| dman777 | if a user is in wheel group does that mean they have credentials to run shutdown or reboot? | 05:45 |

| lstarnes | rkavalap: do what? | 05:57 |
| audioInk | Qwell: true, but its companies that are gettign that money to register it. i know they are accredited but its still kinda dumb cause they are getting paid to basically not do anything if i host myself. | 05:57 |

| mactimes | audioInk: One thing is hosting the "contents". Another thing is "managing name-to-ip resolutions, subnets, routes, etc." | 05:59 |
| audioInk | Qwell: yeah, and corporate America. i was just wondering if there was anything like what i was looking for.... any suggestions on the best place to get one? | 05:59 |
| hoymkot_ | coleys: i did but none of them works | 05:59 |
| mactimes | audioInk: As you said, you'll just hold to the "contents" part. | 05:59 |
| yn_ | corporate America.... how awful | 05:59 |
| x4ch1 | mm | 06:00 |

| joetheodd | lstarnes, thanks | 06:02 |
| audioInk | well thanks everyone who helped clear everything up. wading though the intarwebs is frustrating sometimes and this was a lot more informative than reading a wikipedia article | 06:02 |
| gerber | any help | 06:02 |

I have installed dmraid and dmraid -r shows what I think is correct(raid 5 and such) I now need to mount this and need help configuring /etc/fstab to mount this array on boot? | 06:03 |

| gerber | my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 | 06:04 |
| willmtsai | I am very new at ubuntu. Currently, i have installed 9.04 x64 on my HP tx2500 laptop. Sound does not play. When volume buttons are pressed, the computer screen tells me that the volume is changing, but there is no sound. Could someone help? | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | the google reader prism update totally broke it | 06:04 |
| gerber | my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 | 06:04 |
| yn_ | willmtsai: does sound work in general? in windows? | 06:05 |
| gerber | my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 | 06:05 |
| willmtsai | in ubuntu | 06:05 |
| Canid | It doesn't show any errors, it just goes to the login screen | 06:05 |
| yn_ | willmtsai: how do you know its not a hardware issue? | 06:05 |
| gerber | my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 | 06:05 |
| carsonc | gerber: Yes, we gathered that. Apparently nobody knows the answer to your implied question right now. | 06:05 |
| x4ch1 | ok | 06:05 |
| yn_ | gerber: stop that | 06:05 |
| willmtsai | I know that on certain forums, people have gotten it working, but I don't really know how. | 06:05 |
| willmtsai | Windows does play sound. | 06:06 |
| ]RandoM[ | i'm trying to troubleshoot alsa and i'm geting 'cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory'.. anybody know what i should do? it lists my soundcard when i do lspci.. nothing when i do aplay -l | 06:06 |
| yn_ | type in lsmod, put the results on pastie.org | 06:06 |
| tyler_d | command line utility for mounting drives? | 06:06 |
| kindofabuzz | what is Windows? | 06:06 |
| |Zippo| | someone is using conky over widget layer on compiz? | 06:06 |
| lstarnes | zheng: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/MD5SUMS says it is cca45d814048b5b322773561ad7c75d8 | 06:06 |
| kindofabuzz | tyler_d, mount | 06:06 |
| yn_ | kindofabuzz: its this crappy OS that people use to test if their sound is working | 06:06 |
| carsonc | tyler_d: Er..."mount"? And then unmount with "umount"? | 06:06 |
| willmtsai | kindofabuzz I have 2 OSs installed cause im new at ubuntu. | 06:06 |
| gerber | you dvd works ? | 06:06 |
| pipegeek | So... I really have no idea how the gnome/hal automounting magic works. *Really* long shot here, but does anyone know of a way to mark a filesystem such that gnome will refuse to mount it? | 06:07 |
| zheng | lstarnes, thank you so much. | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | zheng: its sha1sum is 5d7e225665d7425a16e3819b6e20063eea0342b9 | 06:07 |
| zheng | thx | 06:07 |
| michael1 | willmtsai: does your volume work on your other OS? | 06:07 |
| jon1982 | hi | 06:07 |
| pipegeek | the idea being that there're two partitions on a certain flash drive, only one of which should really ever get mounted (windows and macos get it right, for two different vaguely broken and accidental reasons) | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | zheng: also, this may be off-topic, but how are you on irc if you can't access the web? | 06:07 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone have a broken prism-google-reader? was fine until the last update | 06:08 |
| tyler_d | kindofabuzz: that was excellent response time.. now could I bother you for a hand configuring my fsab? | 06:08 |
| willmtsai | michael1 yes the volume works in Vista. | 06:08 |
| Canid | Hi... is anyone available to answer my question? | 06:08 |
| gerber | 9.04 has too many bugs | 06:08 |
| jon1982 | im having an issue installing 9.04 on raid/lvm. it stops while installing lilo.... | 06:08 |
| zheng | our network manager disable web surfing. | 06:08 |
| lstarnes | gerber: new releases generally do | 06:08 |
| yn_ | gerber: troll much? | 06:08 |
| lstarnes | zheng: consider a different job or asking your admin to allow access to certain work-related thigns | 06:09 |
| willmtsai | 9.04 seems to work much better than the previous one tho. | 06:09 |
| willmtsai | at least for me | 06:09 |
| tyler_d | mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' | 06:09 |
| zheng | lstarnes, :), Now its so hard to find a good job | 06:09 |

| jon1982 | nobody? | 06:10 |

| phoenixz | Hi, on kubuntu 904 using firefox with adobe flash, when I watch flash movies, quite often, the sound suddenly gets stuck in a 200mSec loop which sounds like tatatatatatatawiwiwiwiwiwiquququququ etc... when one goes like this, ALL go like that and I have to restart firefox to fix it.. What is the cause of this, and how can i fix it? | 06:13 |
| HollywoodJumper | sudo-apt get upgrade Is that correct? | 06:13 |
| willmtsai | Hi, can anyone help with sound problems? HP tx2500 9.04 x64 | 06:13 |

| Livingroom | willmtsai i wish i have no sound either this seems an epidemic with ubuntu and the general opinion is "mine works, so screw you" | 06:14 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes> that should upgrade my apps right? | 06:14 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: it will update all packages to the newest version found in the repositories | 06:15 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: before using it, don't forget to use sudo apt-get update | 06:15 |

| jon1982 | oh well | 06:16 |
| willmtsai | livingroom: All right then, thanks though. | 06:16 |
| mpontillo | !sound | 06:16 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:16 |
| jon1982 | ubuntu FAIL | 06:16 |
| jon1982 | later | 06:16 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: update the local copy of the repository indexes, so that the package management system knows which packages are newest | 06:16 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>ok thanks a lot | 06:16 |
| jawall | power issues,, might as well go back to windows... | 06:17 |
| jawall | Xorg uses 4% of the cpu when running on battery power.. Xorg uses over 90% when on AC power | 06:17 |
| gerber | it seem like i have not chice to go back to window, no one is helping me | 06:18 |
| willmtsai | ubottu: Thanks, but alsa is selected. Also, typing alsa -l tells me that Ubuntu does detect my sound stuff(dunno whats its called) | 06:18 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:18 |
| willmtsai | oops | 06:18 |
| RedSocrates | gerber> any one has problem with DVD movies? | 06:18 |
| RedSocrates | Perhaps a more specific question? | 06:18 |
| ibuclaw | jawall, what are you using to measure the CPU usage? | 06:18 |
| jawall | top | 06:19 |
| jawall | in terminal | 06:19 |
| lstarnes | gerber: that doesn't mean that you need that you need to go back to windows (or say that you are); just be patient. sooner or later someone will have a good answer for you | 06:19 |
| eggsby | anyone got a second to help a noob out? | 06:19 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>so i ran the sudo apt-get upgrade command and it didnt upgrade anything | 06:19 |
| lstarnes | gerber: what about totem doesn't work? | 06:19 |
| jawall | I guess, I've scoured the forums | 06:19 |
| gerber | ok thank you | 06:19 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: then everything is up to date with the repositories | 06:19 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Ask your question; if someone's available to help, they will | 06:19 |
| Canid | DOes anyone know why the package manager would log me out after a couple minutes use? | 06:19 |
| eggsby | okey dokey. | 06:20 |
| ibuclaw | jawall, what type of gfx card? | 06:20 |
| jawall | I've been using ubuntu insotead of windows since january,, but this last upgrade is awful | 06:20 |

| _fynn | where con i find information about a kernelpanic yesterday evening at shutdown? there's nothing in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog | 06:20 |
| jawall | not sure, same one was owkring on 8.x jsut fine | 06:20 |
| eggsby | Had desktop effects working fine about two hours ago, trying to fix some weird issue led me to thinking I should install the open source radeon drivers | 06:20 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>i am trying to upgrade Transmission bitorrent client am i going about it the wrong way? | 06:20 |
| lstarnes | jawall: most new versions still have some bugs until a couple months or so after their release | 06:20 |
| ibuclaw | _fynn, look at the archives | 06:20 |
| eggsby | But I was apparently doing something wrong in the installation process, because everytime I run gdm restart it just goes to black screen | 06:20 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 06:20 |
| HollywoodJumper | lsatrnes>8.04.1 | 06:21 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Can you not just remove the radeon drivers? | 06:21 |
| ibuclaw | zcat /var/log/syslog.1.gz | 06:21 |
| ibuclaw | _fynn, ^^ | 06:21 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>8.04.1 | 06:21 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Or are you trying to find a solution that keeps them but also makes the rest work? | 06:21 |
| eggsby | well | 06:21 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: what version of transmission do you want? | 06:21 |
| eggsby | I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:22 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>1.60 | 06:22 |
| eggsby | To get a default blank xorg.conf | 06:22 |
| ibuclaw | _fynn, also, System->Administration->Log File Viewer | 06:22 |
| eggsby | And now I can't get desktop effects enabled or anything | 06:22 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: 1.06 is the officially supported version for ubuntu 8.04 | 06:22 |
| willmtsai | Hello? Anyone can help with tx2500 sound problems? | 06:22 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: So you're using a blank xorg.conf right now? | 06:22 |
| eggsby | Mhmm | 06:22 |
| Dhraakellian | got a problem or two with htop and screen-profiles | 06:23 |
| _fynn | ibuclaw: the time where the kernelpanic was is still in the normal syslog, ont in the archives, but there'S nothing exceptional.. | 06:23 |
| eggsby | should I try out that debx or whatever thing | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: 8.10 has transmission 1.34 and 9.04 has 1.51 | 06:23 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>so i am runninng against myself in a ratrace. | 06:23 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Have you tried it without having an xorg.conf at all? | 06:23 |
| eggsby | no didn't know that was even possible | 06:23 |
| Dhraakellian | how would I either (a) get function keys working as normal or (b) get mouse clicks to work? | 06:23 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby : I don't know what you mean by "debx or whatever thing" | 06:23 |
| eggsby | some sort of configuration tool for xorg.conf | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: there may be a launchad PPA with a newer package for transmission in 8.04. If not, then you could eithe rloo for a .deb of it or download and compile a source tarball | 06:23 |
| snowrichard | hello | 06:24 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes> well...I feel like a dumbass....how do you know all this stuff? | 06:24 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: If you type "Xorg -configure" at a commandline, the X server will attempt to configure itself based on what it detects | 06:24 |
| Canid | Anyone? Anyone? Voodoo economics... | 06:24 |
| eggsby | hmmmm | 06:24 |
| eggsby | lemme try | 06:24 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: I've been using ubuntu for a couple years | 06:24 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: k. It should give you an xorg.conf.new file as output | 06:24 |
| ibuclaw | _fynn, what was the computer doing around the time of the panic? | 06:24 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: It will just check things for a second, and then return you to the command line | 06:24 |
| ibuclaw | sometimes, wireless cards can be a very silent killer. | 06:25 |
| _fynn | ibuclaw: shutting down | 06:25 |
| eggsby | says I have too many servers active | 06:25 |
| eggsby | let me restart and try | 06:25 |
| Dhraakellian | Canid: like nvidia politics? | 06:25 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: k | 06:25 |
| eggsby | thanks for the help redsocrates | 06:25 |
| Canid | Is there another help forum where I can ask this? | 06:25 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: No prob, and good luck | 06:25 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>ok ...so if i want to download a torrent i just right click on it and choose download with Transmission? | 06:25 |
| lstarnes | HollywoodJumper: I think so | 06:25 |
| eggsby | so, just xorg -configure then replace my xorg.conf with the one it generates and retry? | 06:25 |
| Canid | Not ask about voodoo economics... ask about why I keep getting logged out | 06:26 |
| eggsby | or try with none first? | 06:26 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: "Xorg -configure" with a capital 'X', but try with none first | 06:26 |
| eggsby | kk :) | 06:26 |
| HollywoodJumper | lstarnes>thanks | 06:26 |
| RedSocrates | Canid: What do you mean when you say you're getting logged out? | 06:26 |
| snowrichard | fsck on my terabyte file system takes a while | 06:26 |
| Canid | I've just installed 9.04 | 06:27 |
| Canid | Every time I open Add/Remove... under the applications menu, I can use it for a couple minutes and then my session gets logged out | 06:27 |
| Canid | Before there's time for it to even install something | 06:28 |
| Qwell | Could somebody confirm I'm not losing my mind? Easy to reproduce... Hold 'a', press and hold shift briefly, release shift, wait a second, release 'a'. Do you get "aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa" or "aaaaaaa"? | 06:28 |
| Canid | No errors | 06:28 |
| Canid | It just goes to the login screen | 06:28 |
| lstarnes | Qwell: the former | 06:28 |
| Canid | and when I log back in, it's a new session, everything closed, nothing new installed | 06:28 |
| Qwell | Can I pull the accessibility card on this one? | 06:28 |
| zutme | What is the best way to get a Free (non Sun?) Java plugin for Firefox? | 06:28 |
| Canid | I can install from the terminal, so I think it's just the add/remove utillity | 06:29 |
| Dhraakellian | Qwell: sounds like a certain accessibility feature got activated | 06:29 |
| Chr|s | I get this error when I followed pidgins steps here http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ 'E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.' | 06:29 |
| RedSocrates | Canid: Yeah, it must be. I don't have any real idea about that issue, I don't use GNOME | 06:29 |
| Chr|s | I can't run my update manager now | 06:29 |
| Qwell | Dhraakellian: the latter has been the default in every version of Linux I've ever used. :) | 06:29 |
| RedSocrates | Canid: You might try looking or posting at ubuntuforums.org | 06:29 |
| eggsby | RedSocrates, the problem fixed itself when I removed my xorg.conf file | 06:30 |
| Qwell | which has been...many. for many years. | 06:30 |
| Dhraakellian | Qwell: did you hold down shift for a really long time? | 06:30 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Great :) | 06:30 |
| eggsby | The original issue was that at random intervals my screen would just go black, think that's just a problem with my video card itself? | 06:30 |
| Qwell | it isn't an accessibility feature. No such option exists anywhere that I can find. | 06:30 |
| snowrichard | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4 | 06:30 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: What exact card is it? Radeon what? | 06:30 |
| Qwell | Modifiers should stop repeats. | 06:30 |
| Canid | I might if I can't get it fixed through chat | 06:30 |
| eggsby | Thanks a lot for your help, by the way, pretty cool of you :) | 06:30 |
| eggsby | Radeon 9200 | 06:30 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: No problem at all, my pleasure :) | 06:31 |
| eggsby | Pretty old, doesn't have a fan on it or anything | 06:31 |
| eggsby | so it might just be overheating or something? | 06:31 |
| Dhraakellian | Qwell: I was thinking of the AccessX shortcuts and such | 06:31 |
| Canid | Is there a gnome support room where I can ask about this? | 06:31 |
| eggsby | Never had the problem on winders though | 06:31 |
| Qwell | Dhraakellian: If you can find such a feature, I'd be happy to hear about it. | 06:31 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: one sec | 06:31 |
| michael2 | maybe the output of dmesg | grep iwl is helpful to solving my wireless woes? i don't know what it means, but it looks bad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164687/ | 06:31 |
| Dhraakellian | Qwell: search systemsetting--right, #ubuntu, not #kubuntu... | 06:32 |
| Livingroom | i swear to god | 06:32 |
| Livingroom | something as simple as a friggin soundcard | 06:32 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Were you having these issues on the proprietary ATI driver? | 06:32 |
| Livingroom | and i cantget itworking. | 06:32 |
| michael2 | Livingroom: I feel your pain | 06:32 |
| Livingroom | what is ubuntu to me without sound? a waste of 14 gb of partition | 06:32 |
| eggsby | Like I said, I didn't know what I was using | 06:32 |
| eggsby | It was just whatever ubuntu defaulted to at install | 06:32 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Oh, I see | 06:32 |
| ]RandoM[ | got my soundcard working now :) | 06:33 |
| lstarnes | Livingroom: what sound card is it? | 06:33 |
| Qwell | I can easily see this biting a lot of people, in very serious ways... | 06:33 |
| Livingroom | michael2, feeling my pain does not change the fact that in the year 2009, with a now 15 year old OS, i STILL CANT MAKE STUFF WORK | 06:33 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Well, hard to say what it was, in that case. I've seen issues reported with the Radeon 9200 though | 06:33 |
| eggsby | But the proprietary driver doesn't support 9200s from what I was reading | 06:33 |
| eggsby | which is why I was trying to switch over to the open source | 06:33 |
| RedSocrates | eggsby: Right, it at least seems pretty iffy. That's why I asked | 06:33 |
| Livingroom | why can windows and every other sane OS on the freakin' planet work out of the box, but LINUX cannot? | 06:33 |
| eggsby | but couldn't quite do it for some reason | 06:33 |
| Dhraakellian | Qwell: I was thinking sticky keys | 06:33 |
| Qwell | This isn't sticky keys | 06:34 |
| Livingroom | this is your wave of the future? this unconfigurable pile of shit that was shat out of the asses of a million developers? | 06:34 |
| lstarnes | Livingroom: do you know how much work it takes to make a system able to work out of the box? | 06:34 |
| Livingroom | linux will never overcome windows. | 06:34 |
| Livingroom | or osx. | 06:34 |
| Livingroom | or anything else for that matter. | 06:34 |
| Dhraakellian | (systemsettings > Accessibility > Activation gestures in KDE... no idea about Gnome) | 06:34 |
| Dhraakellian | Qwell: no idea then | 06:34 |
| Petrus | Livingroom...why aren't you still using Windows then? | 06:34 |
| michael2 | maybe the output of dmesg | grep iwl is helpful to solving my wireless woes? i don't know what it means, but it looks bad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164687/ | 06:34 |
| Livingroom | lstarnes: i dont give a shit. MS can make it work the first time. why cant linux? linux has infinitely more developers. | 06:34 |
| Livingroom | petrus: ultimately because i'm infuriated by the direction MS has decided to take with Windows 7 | 06:35 |
| lstarnes | Livingroom: depending on the sound card it may just need a single kernel module to be loaded | 06:35 |
| Dhraakellian | Livingroom: I think it has successfully overcome freebsd | 06:35 |
| Petrus | Livingroom...you're not going to like Linux, something tells me. ;) | 06:35 |
| * mzz shrugs, my onboard sound works out of the box in ubuntu, not in windows 2000 | 06:35 | |
| Livingroom | lstarnes: everythings loaded. it detects the card, it has the modules, it's all set up. but it doesnt work. says it cant connect. i still get PC speaker beeps for everything | 06:35 |
| Dhraakellian | but, of course, as netcraft confirms, BSD is dying </off-topic> | 06:35 |
| Livingroom | petrus: i started using linux when redhat 5.2 came out. console only it's fine; its great; i love it; but for desktop use, it is maddeningly infuriating. | 06:36 |
| michael2 | Livingroom: Computers are built around windows, not linux. every computer is somewhat different. it takes a little time to get it all right. | 06:36 |
| Qwell | Livingroom: Linux isn't for everyone. Some people can read, others can't. It's no big deal. | 06:36 |
| Petrus | Livingroom...that is an issue which is older than Linux itself. | 06:36 |
| Livingroom | qwell: oh! so accuse me of not reading now, without even asking how many message boards i've checked through. typical! go back to your hole, you worthless pile of flesh | 06:36 |
| Qwell | Livingroom: I didn't say any such thing. | 06:36 |
| andrea | hello | 06:37 |
| Petrus | also...the majority of UNIX users in general would tell you that the GUI scenario you're used to is actually vastly inferior anywayz | 06:37 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest69738 | ||
| Petrus | which if you spend an appreciable amount of time on the console, you'll learn on your own. | 06:37 |
| Livingroom | michael2: being built around windows doesnt change the fact that despite everything being installed correctly, it fails to make sound come through my speakers. ubuntu knows what sound card i have. it installed the correct driver. it set up alsa for me. but it /doesnt work/ | 06:37 |
| Petrus | but to address your specific frustration here...\ | 06:37 |
| felixsulla | If i have two ubuntu boxes, one has a shared printer, how do I find the printer on the other machine? | 06:37 |
| RedSocrates | Livingroom: You do realize that the vast majority of hardware manufacturers do not want open source code drivers associated with their products, and so do not work with Linux developers as they do with developers for closed-source products? | 06:37 |
| Petrus | ALSA on Ubuntu is a pain in the neck | 06:37 |
| Petrus | on that point I actually agree with you | 06:38 |
| lstarnes | Petrus: s/on ubuntu// | 06:38 |
| mzz | mmm, I want to blame pulse instead of alsa | 06:38 |
| RedSocrates | Livingroom: In Linux, people have to come up with the stuff a lot of the time by reverse engineering, guess-and-check, shear expertise, etc. | 06:38 |
| Qwell | s/alsa/pulse/ | 06:38 |
| === SandGorgon_ is now known as SandGorgon | ||
| Qwell | mzz: yeah... | 06:38 |
| mzz | I'm still unconvinced pulse currently adds anything but an extra possibly failing layer for the majority of users | 06:38 |
| RedSocrates | Livingroom: Do you want to try to get this working, or are you leaving Ubuntu? | 06:38 |
| Livingroom | redsocrates: that is neither here nor there. it is not my problem. this is a common soundcard that i have, which ubuntu detected and set up. yet it does not work. why is this? because it is too decentralized. there is no control or standardization. why do i have OSS, ALSA, and PulseAudio as sound delivery apps? why dont i have a standardized platform for making sounds? it's just AUDIO for christs sake | 06:39 |
| Qwell | mzz: it doesn't add anything the various other "sound managers" didn't | 06:39 |
| Qwell | arts, esd, etc | 06:39 |
| Livingroom | redsocrates: i've been trying to make this work for days. i'm not leaving ubuntu, because i want a stable linux desktop. but i'm very fed up with it not working. | 06:39 |
| mzz | Qwell: I didn't use any of those either (alsa (with dmix) suffices for my needs, afaict) | 06:39 |
| RedSocrates | Livingroom: First, you made claims about Linux, not Ubuntu. Linux does not install OSS, ALSA, and PulseAudio. Second, while it is not "your problem," it does answer the questions you asked. I assumed you actually wanted them answered. | 06:40 |
| Qwell | mzz: indeed it does. and dmix is "part" of alsa these days | 06:40 |
| mzz | and the whole app -> libalsa -> pulse plugin for alsa -> pulsed -> libalsa -> hardware dance is just horribly confusing | 06:40 |
| zetheroo | I installed Kubuntu Jaunty on a machine that was running Ubuntu Hardy and now GRUB is reading the menu.lst file from Kubuntu instead of from Ubuntu ... how do I revert that? | 06:40 |
| snowrichard | fsck on terabyte finally finished | 06:40 |
| * Petrus remembers a time on Slackware at least where you compiled ALSA support for your hardware into the kernel, installed a specific dotfile in your home directory, set /dev/dsp 0666, and it worked. | 06:41 | |
| michael2 | can anyone tell me what the output of dmesg | grep iwl means? my wireless doesn't work http://paste.ubuntu.com/164687/ | 06:41 |
| Livingroom | redsocrates: as a prospective user of a desktop OS, should i care that hardware people dont want to work with linux/ubuntu? no: i should care only to install, run some basic configuration, maybe even be asked what soundcard i have- and then have it work, out of the box. there is, again, absoloutely NO reason for it not to "JUST WORK" | 06:41 |
| Qwell | Petrus: I remember when Slackware used to come with pam | 06:41 |
| mzz | Petrus: no /dev/dsp here, who needs oss anyway these days. But yeah, roughly that. | 06:41 |
| Qwell | ahh, 2008. good year. :P | 06:41 |
| Petrus | Livingroom tantrums are not endearing. ;) | 06:41 |
| === danorsk[afk] is now known as danorsk | ||
| mzz | Petrus: oh, only without the dotfile (dmix is on by default if the hardware doesn't mix) | 06:42 |
| RedSocrates | Livingroom: I just gave you the reason why it likely doesn't work. Second, you were asking questions about why Windows could sometimes get things to just work, but Linux couldn't. I answered that question. If you didn't want the answer and really just wanted to complain, why'd you ask? | 06:42 |
| Livingroom | petrus: i'm certain they're not, but in the absence of support, what am i to do? i've tried everything on all the forums. i will provide links if you so desire as to what i tried. and none of it works | 06:42 |
| Qwell | Livingroom: There are companies that provide support. | 06:42 |
| RedSocrates | Livingroom: What sound card are you using? What does it display in lspci? | 06:42 |
| zetheroo | michael2: strange as it is an Intel card ... | 06:42 |
| zetheroo | I installed Kubuntu Jaunty on a machine that was running Ubuntu Hardy and now GRUB is reading the menu.lst file from Kubuntu instead of from Ubuntu ... how do I revert that? | 06:43 |

| Petrus | Livingroom...the ops aren't going to like me for this, but I suggest another distribution, as I did so privately. Truthfully, that's becoming my own answer to just about any Ubuntu related question these days...Use something else. ;) Ubuntu is McLinux. | 06:43 |

| aspidites | Petrus: lol. i dunno why i'm here actually. i don't even use ubuntu. i guess i'm just lonely :( | 06:46 |

| Livingroom | have not seen that post | 06:47 |
| Petrus | aspidites...I'm here because I initially had a problem, but also because, altho 3 weeks ago I was open minded towards Ubuntu, after the amount of problems I've had since then, I've now developed an attitude similar to that of Erin Brockovich...I'm on a mission from God to attempt to ensure that nobody else has to experience a similar level of pain and suffering again. ;) | 06:47 |

| RedSocrates | Livingroom: Well, the line I gave you that you inserted into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base has "model=6stack-dell". You can apparently set that to "model=auto". Perhaps that's part of the issue, I don't know | 06:58 |
| Petrus | RedSocrates, one of the things I do show people is this (http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/05/09/13/1915250.shtml) which is something I wrote a few years ago which has apparently helped some other people...step 1 is irrelevant now, since they can use Ubuntu...I just put that in at the time... | 06:58 |

| ubottu | ra100: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:05 |
| qcjn | hi, can't uninstall mpd, made a little mess. Tried sudo apt-get remove --purge mpd && sudo apt-get autoremove. But there's left over !! | 07:05 |
| aspidites | ra100: IIRC there is a wiki entry on this at ubuntu. ask around and i'm sure somone can point you to it | 07:05 |
| RedSocrates | Petrus: Heh, I tinkered around with Linux some back in those days too, actually. But back then I gave up. Didn't come back until 2005ish, probably. | 07:06 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: i can identify that. but now i'm stuck on tiling window managers...i can't use a stacked windows manager to save my life | 07:06 |
| aspidites | i try, then immediately revert to a tiling derivative after like 10 minutes | 07:06 |
| Surlent777 | aspidites: hahahaha I don't like the idea of a tiled myself | 07:06 |
| mzz | aspidites: heh, I last longer than 10 minutes, but yeah | 07:07 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: i can always hotswap to floating if needed. not so easy the other way around. unless you use poor man's tiling manager | 07:07 |
| RedSocrates | You guys who use tiled window managers, do you manage to stick mostly to the keyboard, or do you end up still using the mouse? | 07:07 |
| mzz | RedSocrates: ratpoison here currently, which I couldn't control with the mouse even if I wanted to | 07:07 |
| aspidites | RedSocrates: the only time i touch a mouse is if i'm gaming, or using gimp, firefox, or designer | 07:07 |
| Surlent777 | Hey, that reminds me, has anyone else noticed that the "new" screen is total crap when it comes to scrolling up? (Shift+PgUp) | 07:08 |
| mzz | RedSocrates: tends to be mainly keyboard in the others I've used too, except for occasional mouse-based resizing | 07:08 |
| RedSocrates | mzz: Ah, nice. I've been scared away from ratpoison, though, by other peoples' reactions to mention of it :) | 07:08 |
| mzz | RedSocrates: ratpoison's very simple. A bit too simple for some, probably. Also, I can imagine hating the lack of focus-follows-mouse. | 07:08 |
| aspidites | i'd use vimperator, but it just doesn't feel right to me | 07:08 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, hmmm doesnt appear to be working, if i add +connect 192.168.0.2 to the end of the script it works, if i add 'ipport' to the end of the script while ipport has that txt in it, it doesnt work | 07:08 |
| RedSocrates | I like vimperator all right | 07:08 |
| aspidites | mzz: i disabled focus follows mouse after switching to musca | 07:08 |
| RedSocrates | mzz: Maybe I'll convince myself to check it out :) | 07:09 |
| Igraine | anyone who knows how to stop x-chat gnome from loading logs in the channels? | 07:09 |
| * aspidites uses weechat-curses | 07:09 | |
| mzz | aspidites: I came across that one, forgot why I didn't try it yet | 07:09 |
| Petrus | RedSoc...I've heard ratpoison is ok, but if you want to go that route, I just go for screen in an Eterm, myself | 07:09 |
| aspidites | mzz: kinda like irssi but with the user list showing | 07:10 |
| RedSocrates | Petrus: I don't really have much experience with screen, still trying to really figure out its power | 07:10 |
| Pupeno | Is it possible that some server is not respecting the MX records of my domain and instead of contacting the MX is contacting the server directly to send an email? | 07:10 |
| mzz | aspidites: meant musca, not weechat-curses | 07:10 |
| raylu | Guest71437: `, not ' | 07:10 |
| Petrus | RedSocrates, same...it seems pretty cool tho | 07:10 |
| Surlent777 | aspidites: irssi can have a user list...just get the script, and use screen | 07:10 |
| raylu | Guest71437: wait, no | 07:10 |
| raylu | Guest71437: `cat ipport` | 07:10 |
| RedSocrates | Igraine: Look in Settings --> Preferences, there should be a "Logging" item in the list on the left side | 07:10 |
| raylu | Guest71437: just `ipport` is insufficient | 07:10 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, k il give that a try | 07:10 |
| aspidites | mzz: ooh. its seeeexy. Beware though ,there's no automatic tiling by default, but I've managed to make it react similarly to wmii. has far more layout options than any other I've used | 07:11 |
| mzz | aspidites: remember I'm coming from ratpoison, not dwm/wmii | 07:11 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: I know. I just didn't want ot have to get a script for something i thought was fundamental. I suppose using arch i shouldn't be so lazy | 07:11 |
| Surlent777 | no kidding | 07:11 |
| aspidites | mzz: aah, right. i don't remember much about ratpoison. | 07:11 |
| Surlent777 | and considering it's a TTY client | 07:11 |
| shadeslayer | how do you add facebok chat in empathy or pidgin? | 07:12 |
| Surlent777 | what did you expect? | 07:12 |
| Surlent777 | shadeslayer: open Synaptic and type pidgin. It'll show up | 07:12 |
| RedSocrates | Which one of these tiled wms is the easiest to configure? I don't want to learn Haskell just to configure my wm, for example | 07:12 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: weechat-curses is too | 07:12 |
| mzz | aspidites: it's *really* simple (really just screen for X (with both horizontal and vertical splits but no builtin workspaces for example)) | 07:12 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: at least i'm not using xchat/mirc ;-) | 07:12 |
| Surlent777 | aspidites: amen | 07:12 |
| Igraine | RedSocrates, there is no logging in the menu on the left | 07:13 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, cool thanks that takes care of part of the problem :) | 07:13 |
| aspidites | mzz: ah. never got into screen either. didn't seem neccessary after switchign to tiling windows managers | 07:13 |
| Mylisto | does anyone know if you can use yahoo chat rooms in pidgin? | 07:13 |
| Surlent777 | aspidites: Can't beat irssi for spamming potential =P | 07:13 |
| RedSocrates | Igraine: it should be an option under "Chatting" | 07:13 |
| mzz | RedSocrates: dwm can't be configured, does that count? | 07:13 |
| aspidites | Mylisto: yes you can | 07:13 |
| Mylisto | how? | 07:13 |
| dronix | ubuntu ftw!! | 07:13 |
| RedSocrates | mzz: Sure, less work :) | 07:13 |
| raylu | Guest71437: the other part? | 07:13 |
| aspidites | Mylisto: hmm..don't remember. lemme look | 07:13 |
| keoni | i got a question, say you have a running process writing to a log file over nfs, the nfs server dies, and the program needs to rite to the log file agian. what happens? does the program or os decide what to do? | 07:13 |
| Mylisto | haha | 07:14 |
| Mylisto | found it | 07:14 |
| aspidites | Mylisto: yeah. buddies > join chat | 07:14 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, Im going to need something to write the ip and the port in this format ip:port to that file. but its in an xml document | 07:14 |
| Mylisto | thanks | 07:14 |
| mzz | keoni: depends on how it's mounted. It'll either hang or fail | 07:14 |
| aspidites | what ever happened to the try first, ask questions later policy? | 07:14 |
| Surlent777 | so, no tty/fb gurus tonight then =/ | 07:14 |
| RedSocrates | aspidites: I don't think that policy exists here | 07:14 |
| raylu | Guest71437: then this isn't part of the solution | 07:14 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, well actually let me ask you this first | 07:14 |
| raylu | Guest71437: what you want is a script that parses the xml document and runs that command itself | 07:15 |
| RedSocrates | Unfortunately | 07:15 |
| keoni | to pretty much data loss, there is no queue type thing? | 07:15 |
| aspidites | RedSocrates: lol. apparently not. welcome to linux newbie world aka ex-windows please hold my hand-type user | 07:15 |
| keoni | so rather | 07:15 |
| RedSocrates | aspidites: Yeah, it can be that way :) | 07:15 |
| mzz | keoni: man 5 nfs, look for the "soft" and "hard" mount options, iirc | 07:15 |
| TheShahFactor | There is this Open Source Text to Speech system I am trying to install (http://mary.dfki.de/Download) When I try to run it in the terminal;I get a freezed window I cannot click on the ok or cancel button in the Window.It is based in Java.Any one know why this is happening? | 07:15 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, well the problem is i have this script that launches the program right? but it needs to add the argument +connect ip:port after the script if i run the script like ./scriptname +connect ip:port that wont work, for some reason it has to be in the file itself | 07:15 |
| Surlent777 | no one really held my hand...I just plowed through it, even accidentally formating my HD trying to install 6.06...I just went through and taught myself, mostly | 07:16 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, do you know why that might be? | 07:16 |
| aspidites | at least linux responses don't begin with "are you drivers updated?" or "did you try restarting your computer?" | 07:16 |
| mzz | keoni: when I said "hang" I meant "retry indefinitely". I don't know if that means it'll eventually succeed if the server comes back up. | 07:16 |
| Petrus | Surlent777, that is the only real way to learn | 07:16 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: same here. i didn't even start using irc again until i was a gury | 07:16 |
| Surlent777 | Petrus: I agree. I hate it when people try and make it idiot-friendly, etc. | 07:16 |
| keoni | ah | 07:16 |
| raylu | Guest71437: er, i don't understand | 07:16 |
| keoni | i guess ill go poke around and find out | 07:16 |
| aspidites | well..well aquainted with linux, not a guru | 07:16 |
| Surlent777 | (see, for instance, the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace changes) | 07:17 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, alright so lets say you have a script and it is name beans right? | 07:17 |
| RedSocrates | Surlent777: Worst change EVAR | 07:17 |
| Surlent777 | YES | 07:17 |
| mzz | keoni: it'll probably survive temporary network loss, but I don't know if it'll survive a server restart | 07:17 |
| Igraine | RedSocrates, I dont even have a 'chatting'... | 07:17 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, so lets say you need to pass an argument to that script and the argument is +connect ip:port | 07:17 |
| Petrus | Surlent777, Ubuntu's ease is extremely superficial...this channel's volume is itself a testament to how truly, horrifyingly broken it is in technical terms. | 07:17 |
| Surlent777 | heh, point | 07:17 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, if INSIDE the script you add +connect ip:port to the end of the file, it will work | 07:17 |
| RedSocrates | Igraine: How did you install Xchat? Are you using regular xchat or the xchat that comes in the xchat-gnome package? | 07:17 |
| aspidites | Petrus: amen to THAT. | 07:17 |
| mzz | I'm appaprently strange, I don't mind that ctrl+alt+backspace change because I actually hit that accidentally once or twice | 07:18 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, but if you do ./beans +connect ip:port that wont work | 07:18 |
| mzz | will take a little getting used to. | 07:18 |
| kenyon | mzz, keoni: I've had nfs mounts survive server restart like that. | 07:18 |
| a | how is ubutu broken | 07:18 |
| aspidites | I find arch and other "bare bones" distros far simpler for the fact that nothing is hidden from the user | 07:18 |
| Igraine | RedSocrates, its x-chat gnome 0.26.1 | 07:18 |
| raylu | Guest71437: er, that's more of an issue with the script itself | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | a: every OS sucks | 07:18 |
| Surlent777 | mzz: how could you manage to hit that? It's already intuitive that you don't hit Ctrl+Alt unless you're doing something important or death-defying, at least for me | 07:18 |
| mzz | keoni: definitely take kenyon's word for it, I haven't touched nfs in ages | 07:18 |
| a | ubuntu is perfect | 07:18 |
| raylu | Guest71437: different scripting languages have different ways of handling arguments | 07:18 |
| RedSocrates | Igraine: Ah, yeah, sorry; that one is set up differently, not sure | 07:18 |
| aspidites | ActionParsnip: linux just sucks less | 07:18 |
| Surlent777 | aspidites: so, not a big GNOME fan, then, I take it? | 07:18 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, here http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3262671&forum_id=474406 | 07:18 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, that is a post i made on it | 07:19 |
| chetnick | can you restore grub from working mounted system? Or it has to be from live CD? | 07:19 |
| Igraine | RedSocrates, ok thanks anyway :) | 07:19 |
| Surlent777 | I really wish I could remember how to make it hide this /join-spamming | 07:19 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, actually this one might be better http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7214683#post7214683 | 07:19 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: um...no. i like it better than kde 3 series. | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | aspidites: in some cases yes, in others no, not less,just differently | 07:19 |
| Crshman | anyone know of a good digital rendering app for linux? | 07:19 |
| mzz | Surlent777: at least once I got my brain and/or fingers crossed going for alt+backspace (delete word backwards) and ctrl+something (some emacs-style movement command) at the same time | 07:19 |
| RedSocrates | Igraine: No prob, good luck with it :) | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: its a plugin in pidgin ;) | 07:19 |
| aspidites | ActionParsnip: yeah, lets not mention wifi support, games, or even video chat | 07:19 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, so you see that part that says <connect> and ip:port that is what it should be adding to the end of the script | 07:19 |
| raylu | Guest71437: anyway, i need to go now; sorry | 07:20 |
| Guest71437 | raylu, ok no problem | 07:20 |
| mzz | Surlent777: and emacs has a bunch of ctrl+alt+letter bindings that aren't scary (not that frequently used, but not scary) | 07:20 |
| Surlent777 | ActionParsnip: the heck with pidgey, I'm using irssi | 07:20 |
| aspidites | i meant sucks less as a general reference. the os taken as a whole. for me, the statement is true. | 07:20 |
| raylu | Surlent777: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS QUITS | 07:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: then i have no idea | 07:20 |
| Surlent777 | mzz: emacs scares me a bit; I prefer vi | 07:20 |
| Surlent777 | raylu: thanks | 07:20 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: same here. vim actually | 07:20 |
| mzz | Surlent777: vi's fine and takes a different approach to key bindings | 07:20 |
| mzz | well, vim, yeah | 07:20 |
| aspidites | emacs made my wrists hurt | 07:21 |
| Surlent777 | aspidites: I'm not sure of the differences, but whatever the heck came with this is what I use | 07:21 |
| Surlent777 | (re: vi/vim) | 07:21 |
| raylu | aspidites: emacs users commonly bind ctrl to capslock | 07:21 |
| aspidites | that and lisp scares the crap out of me | 07:21 |
| aspidites | raylu: lol. i do that for vi/m too. | 07:21 |
| aspidites | raylu: to be fair, only recently though | 07:22 |
| mzz | yeah, you need a nicely accessible ctrl keyi | 07:22 |
| Surlent777 | I love vim's simplicity...and it makes you look awesome to a novice to use it =P | 07:22 |
| raylu | aspidites: hrm? vim users more commonly bind esc to capslock | 07:22 |
| mzz | key, even. I wonder how many vim users rebind esc to the key to the left of 1 or something | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: nano here | 07:22 |
| Petrus | vim = vi with creature comforts, pretty much...from what I've read at least. | 07:22 |
| aspidites | raylu: nah, i use capslock + ] for my escape | 07:22 |
| Surlent777 | ooh, nano's nice. Reminds me of MS-EDIT | 07:22 |
| aspidites | er capslock + [ | 07:22 |

| Surlent777 | or maybe a tractor? | 07:23 |
| Surlent777 | some sort of chip? | 07:23 |
| aspidites | raylu: plus, ctrl is needed for buffer management and a lot of other ide functions i use | 07:23 |
| AnActivist | hello everyone, I accidentally turned of my removable cd drive while I was boot from a live cd now it seems like when I reboot normally it takes longer, is there any way for me to check if I have caused any memory damage? | 07:23 |
| sireromano | happy fifth day of the month | 07:23 |
| shadeslayer | sireromano: >< | 07:24 |
| Surlent777 | AnActivist: Run memtest86+ from GRUB | 07:24 |
| AnActivist | what if I am using Lilo? | 07:24 |
| Surlent777 | AnActivist: Press Esc when you see the message about GRUB during bootup | 07:24 |
| Surlent777 | well then you're in trouble | 07:24 |
| mzz | AnActivist: iirc the livecd has memtest too | 07:24 |
| Surlent777 | cause I have no idea how to use that | 07:24 |
| sireromano | what is that? | 07:24 |
| Surlent777 | LInux LOader | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | AnActivist: i believe memtest is in lilo too | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !info lilo | 07:25 |

| aspidites | i didn't know anyone still used lilo | 07:25 |
| aspidites | has anyone played with grub2? | 07:25 |
| Surlent777 | there's a grub2? | 07:25 |
| Surlent777 | that reminds me...GRUB themes...anyone use them? | 07:26 |
| shadeslayer | Surlent777: yes | 07:26 |
| Surlent777 | I've been a bit scared to try them, but I think I might, just for kicks | 07:26 |
| Surlent777 | after I figure out my weird framebuffer issue here | 07:26 |
| Surlent777 | (priorities) | 07:26 |
| raylu | aspidites: yup. no documentation. | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | grub works fine, what else do you need from grub besides kickup linux? | 07:27 |
| aspidites | i've been putting off using it because nothing else about my setup is "shiny". no spash screens, no login manaagers, no pizaz what so ever | 07:27 |
| raylu | aspidites: in development for 4 years, got it working, can't configure it because there's no damn documentation | 07:27 |
| Surlent777 | Kickup XP (video games) | 07:27 |
| shadeslayer | Surlent777: theyre boring after you use them for 10 boots | 07:27 |
| rumpel2 | impressive bootscreen :) | 07:27 |
| Surlent777 | heh | 07:27 |
| sireromano | http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2onq.png | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | oh jeez, i havent seen my grub in tiiiiiiime | 07:27 |
| aspidites | raylu: gotta love open source projects huh? | 07:27 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip: splashimages with more than 14 colors, 640x480 | 07:27 |
| aspidites | i've been meaning to play with fast-init, but i haven't gotten around to it | 07:28 |
| mzz | my grub has a timeout of 1 second, not like I need a splash screen there :) | 07:28 |
| aspidites | the only boot option i've changed is the resolution of my tty | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: i dont even use a bootsplash, i watch the boot messaes | 07:28 |
| aspidites | mzz: that reminds me. i need to reduce my timeout | 07:28 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: how?? can i set it to 1440X900 ? | 07:28 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: lemme look. that's what i have | 07:28 |
| mzz | 1440x900 isn't a vesa res, right? | 07:29 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip: no, before that | 07:29 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip: the image behind the selection menu | 07:29 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: got the wiki btw | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: saves hdd space and why is it so important when its on the screen for suc a short length of time that you'd put time into changing it | 07:29 |
| mzz | oh, and I have an option in gdm to boot into windows once | 07:29 |
| shadeslayer | mzz: um dunno | 07:29 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: vga=864. and you have to change a blacklist option somewhere | 07:29 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip: because it's on my system, so i want it to look nice | 07:30 |
| * mzz pets grub-set-default | 07:30 | |
| shadeslayer | what about | 07:30 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: lemme look. i know i aint using mesa, lol | 07:30 |
| shadeslayer | !tty | aspidites | 07:30 |
| ubottu | aspidites: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 07:30 |
| Surlent777 | I've set it to use the framebuffer, and it asks me for my resolution (I go with 800x600 usually), but when I run programs like ZSNES, or try and view images in w3m, which I could do in 8.10, it redirects it to my open X session... | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: true, i think its completely pointless | 07:30 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: thats not it | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: i bet you use compiz too | 07:31 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: then? | 07:31 |

| shadeslayer | nilsh: try all you want ;) | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: snap | 07:33 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip: no; as stated earlier, xmonad | 07:33 |
| raylu | ActionParsnip: though i did use it some years ago | 07:33 |
| nilsh | everything works, except shutting down, changing user or switching the tty | 07:34 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: i found it | 07:34 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: what happened? | 07:34 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: :) | 07:34 |
| boringpackets | I can't resize the gnome panel below 31 pixels, for some reason it wont let me anymore. Can someone Please help? | 07:34 |
| nilsh | so, i think it is an problem with xorg | 07:34 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: what graphics card are you using? | 07:34 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: nvidia geforce 8600 MGT | 07:34 |
| Surlent777 | sounds like mine | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: lxde here | 07:34 |
| Surlent777 | 8600 GT 512MB | 07:34 |
| aspidites | sweet, close to mine.. so you have to edit /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist | 07:34 |
| aspidites | (as root) | 07:35 |
| shadeslayer | Surlent777: ah thats the desktop version with DDR2,i have 256 MB DDR3 | 07:35 |
| mzz | (duh, it's in /etc/ :P) | 07:35 |
| boringpackets | Please? | 07:35 |
| Surlent777 | shadeslayer: madness | 07:35 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: just comment out the nvidiafb line (add a #) | 07:35 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: its empty :O | 07:35 |
| Petrus | boringpackets, I don't think you can do that | 07:35 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: are you modifying it as root? | 07:36 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: yes,sudoedit /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist | 07:36 |
| boringpackets | Petru I have been doing that for a long time until Ubuntu 9.04 | 07:36 |
| mzz | boringpackets: I don't know enough about gnome but it's possible it's tied to some applet on your panel | 07:36 |
| wolferz | does anyone know how to install tar.gz and tar.bz2 packages? | 07:36 |
| Petrus | boringpackets, I don't know :( I'm not an expert on gnome I'm sorry | 07:36 |
| mzz | boringpackets: does a completely empty panel have the same minimum size? | 07:36 |
| Surlent777 | interesting...that file doesn't seem to exist on my computer | 07:36 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: maybe ubuntu uses a different file. you can always add "graphics=nvidiafb" to your kernel line in menu.lst | 07:36 |
| KB1JWQ | wolferz: Gotta decompress 'em first. | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: if you meant gedit, you'll need gksudo for that ;) | 07:37 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: correction: video=nvidiafb | 07:37 |
| eri- | hi | 07:37 |
| boringpackets | Thanks for the replies! I will try doing this with an empty panel, I'll create a new one to test. | 07:37 |
| KB1JWQ | tar xzvf filename for the gz stuff, tar xjvf for the bz2 stuff | 07:37 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: i meant sudoedit ;) | 07:37 |
| eri- | i need to install opengl on ubuntu jaenty | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | nice | 07:37 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick | ||
| mzz | KB1JWQ: not sure when this was introduced but in at least some versions of tar you can omit the j/z and it'll autodetect :) | 07:37 |
| nilsh | nobody with me? :( | 07:38 |
| Surlent777 | eri-: I think it should already be able to do OpenGL, shouldn't it? | 07:38 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: i shouldn't have to say this, but make sure you back up your original menu.lst file | 07:38 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Ooh, that's a neat feature. I'll have to try that, I'm too used to old-school methods. :) | 07:38 |
| boringpackets | Odd, new panels automatically start at 22 pixels. Thank you SO MUCH for figuring this out. I will just make a new panel and delete this one. | 07:38 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: already did | 07:38 |
| eri- | Surlent777: i can't run savage 2 | 07:38 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: i add it to the end? | 07:38 |
| aspidites | doesn't matter. i have it before the ro option | 07:38 |
| shadeslayer | after ro? | 07:38 |
| Surlent777 | eri-: Are you trying to run a Windows version? (I have no idea what that game is) | 07:38 |
| eri- | i try tu run in terminal and the error its i dont have open gl 2.1 | 07:38 |
| Surlent777 | ok so I guess not | 07:39 |
| shadeslayer | ok rebooting | 07:39 |
| aspidites | actually, because i have teh file, the only thing i add to my kernel line is the vga option | 07:39 |
| Surlent777 | eri-: Did you try looking around in Synaptic for anything corresponding to that? | 07:39 |
| lundh | what do I need to be able to boot from an external dvd-player? | 07:39 |
| eri- | yep Surlent777 | 07:39 |
| aspidites | eri-: what graphics card are you running? | 07:39 |
| eri- | im install openglad | 07:39 |
| eri- | intel mobile 4 | 07:40 |
| aspidites | eri-: i don't think that chipset supports opengl | 07:40 |
| wolferz | what do I do after downloading and doing configure though | 07:40 |
| eri- | aspidites: i see around the web im see something about intel and opengl problems | 07:40 |
| KB1JWQ | wolferz: make, sudo make install generally | 07:41 |
| eri- | but i see this post its old post | 07:41 |
| KB1JWQ | Read the INSTALL within the package if needed. | 07:41 |
| KB1JWQ | Might also be called README | 07:41 |
| Surlent777 | hey, I found that file you guys were talking about (framebuffer blacklist). I missed it though: What would enabling the nvidia fb do? | 07:41 |
| eri- | maybe i have jaunty have more solution | 07:41 |
| mzz | although imho sudo make install is not your friend, consider installing into your homedir (or running straight out of the build dir) or using checkinstall | 07:41 |
| wolferz | I thank you, is there some cheat sheet for users used to buggy windows? | 07:41 |
| aspidites | eri-: try runnign glxgears in terminal. if it doesn't work, i don't think you can run it | 07:42 |
| KB1JWQ | mzz: Ah, that's right. I'm too used to installing things systemwide. | 07:42 |
| eri- | dam it | 07:42 |
| eri- | sorry | 07:42 |
| aspidites | eri-: glxgears didn't work? | 07:42 |
| eri- | aspidites: i try to don't use windows hahaha | 07:42 |
| aspidites | eri-: do you have the latest intel drivers installed? | 07:42 |
| eri- | it's imposible some times | 07:42 |
| eri- | aspidites: nop | 07:43 |
| aspidites | eri-: that might be your problem :| | 07:43 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: pretty much the same | 07:43 |
| mzz | systemwide's fine, systemwide outside of package manager control (and not contained to a dir in /opt or the like) less so | 07:43 |
| axis | does anyone know how to make rar files in the form of i.e part01.rar part02.rar part03.rar -- like the compression.. not splitting the contents inside.. or doefining how big part01 part02 part03 can be each? | 07:43 |
| axis | in linux | 07:43 |
| eri- | aspidites: how i do to install the new intel driver | 07:43 |
| MoKu23 | hi | 07:43 |
| mzz | axis: does it have to be rar? | 07:43 |
| === andresinix_ is now known as andresinix | ||
| axis | i have the rarlinux.tar.gz from rarlabs but when i run ./rar i don't see how i can do that..... i see rar a file.rar file1.dat file2.dat etc | 07:43 |
| axis | no | 07:43 |
| axis | it doesnt | 07:43 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: really? mine is definately 1440x900 instead of 800x600 maybe it has somethin to do with the file being empty | 07:43 |
| axis | if theres a better solution sure | 07:44 |
| axis | ill take that | 07:44 |
| FloodBot2 | axis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:44 |
| aspidites | i'd say do a google search for the ubuntu equivalent | 07:44 |
| mzz | axis: there's a tool called "split" that does this to any file | 07:44 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: maybe,no idea mate ;) maybe i have to use vga= | 07:44 |
| boringpackets | When I hold my mouse over anything in Ubuntu a little help thing comes up telling me what my mouse is being held over. Can I disable this? | 07:44 |
| MoKu23 | which is the command for look all USB drives? | 07:44 |
| === baskingshark is now known as paul68 | ||
| shadeslayer | MoKu23: lsusb | 07:44 |
| aspidites | eri-: not sure. i don't use ubuntu. everyone? what's the command to search for packages? is it apt-cache package_name ? | 07:44 |
| mzz | axis: so one option is to create any kind of archive (.tar or .tar.bz2 for example), then running "split" on that (with the right options) | 07:44 |
| axis | but if i send the split files | 07:44 |
| MoKu23 | dont show nothing (shadeslayer) | 07:44 |
| axis | to a windows machine | 07:44 |
| axis | how do i rejoin it | 07:45 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: you have to use both vga=864 and video=nvidiafb | 07:45 |
| boringpackets | I remember a specific place where I was previously able to edit various detailed aspects of gnome, but It's been a long time. | 07:45 |
| axis | on the windows | 07:45 |
| mzz | axis: ah, windows target. Yeah, that won't work easily. sec. | 07:45 |
| axis | thats why i wanted to use rar | 07:45 |
| FloodBot2 | axis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:45 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: now youre telling me ;P | 07:45 |
| Surlent777 | aspidites: I can confirm that as a no | 07:45 |
| aspidites | boringpackets: gconfig editor maybe? | 07:45 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: i told you that before :P | 07:45 |
| ttwj | is it possible to uninstall ubuntu desktop and install ubuntu server? | 07:45 |
| boringpackets | aspidttwj Yes that was it thank you. | 07:46 |
| MoKu23 | helppppppppppppppppppppppp | 07:46 |
| ttwj | hello? | 07:46 |
| aspidites | ttwj: you can run the livecd and do a complete reinstall, or just uninstall gnome desktop, xserver, etc | 07:46 |
| mzz | axis: the "zip" utility takes a -s switch which might suffice | 07:46 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: too much traffic here :P | 07:46 |
| paul68 | ttwj: I should do clean install | 07:46 |
| aspidites | boringpackets: your welcome | 07:46 |
| MoKu23 | helppppppppppppppppppppppp | 07:46 |
| eri- | aspidites: how i can do to install the new driver for intel | 07:46 |
| shadeslayer | MoKu23: yes? | 07:46 |
| qetuR | I was wondering if their is any script that can recognize the size of the image you have just "ctrl-c/x", so when you create a new pic in gimp, it knows of large the pic is i.e. 374x124 pixels, anybody knows anything about it? | 07:46 |
| MoKu23 | for show all usb drive? | 07:46 |
| paul68 | !ask|MoKu23: | 07:46 |

| aspidites | eri-: just guessing..open synaptic and search for "xorg intel" | 07:46 |
| eri- | ok | 07:46 |
| ttwj | aspidites, can i just do sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop? | 07:46 |
| shadeslayer | MoKu23: i told you lsusb :| | 07:46 |
| eri- | aspidites: thnx | 07:47 |
| MoKu23 | i have done, but dont show nithing | 07:47 |
| aspidites | ttwj: yeah, but i'd drop to tty first | 07:47 |
| axis | I must have an outdated version of zip | 07:47 |
| manlymat_83 | Any repositories around still with 7.10 packages? | 07:47 |
| axis | because i don't see -s at all | 07:47 |
| Surlent777 | MoKu23: Then you have nothing plugged in, likely | 07:47 |
| manlymat_83 | 8.04's fonts changed and I hated it when I upgraded. | 07:47 |
| mzz | qetuR: just use edit -> paste as -> new image (in gimp)? | 07:47 |

| MoKu23 | Increase verbosity (show descriptors) | 07:47 |

| eri- | yep | 07:49 |
| eri- | aspidites: but the savage 2 need opengl 2.1 | 07:49 |
| corpsicle | hey guys | 07:50 |
| aspidites | eri-: are they opengl games or just sdl ? | 07:50 |
| aspidites | hi corpsicle | 07:50 |
| corpsicle | i have a slight problem with spotify in wine in ubuntu 9.04 | 07:50 |
| corpsicle | which a dual screen setup | 07:50 |
| corpsicle | wine seems to think the mouse is offset by a screen or so | 07:50 |
| aspidites | corpsicle: you lost me at dual screen | 07:50 |
| BilokShem | How's it going | 07:50 |
| corpsicle | so when i grab the window it pops like 1200 pixels to the right | 07:50 |
| aspidites | BilokShem: pretty good, you? | 07:51 |
| corpsicle | its more an annoyance than a problem but it would be nice if there was a solution | 07:51 |
| corpsicle | is there a wine channel perhaps | 07:51 |
| Surlent777 | BilokShem: Fine, aside from the framebuffer being weird and wanting to redirect TTY things to X | 07:51 |
| Maiku | is there a way to telnet over a specific interface, eth0 in this case? | 07:51 |
| corpsicle | ... and is it about wine or wine | 07:51 |
| Gnea | corpsicle: #winehq | 07:51 |
| mzz | MoKu23: if you get no output from lsusb that probably means your usb root hubs weren't detected. What does lspci have to say about those? | 07:51 |
| mzz | err, host controllers, not root hubs | 07:51 |
| halycon | hey everyone I have both gnome and KDE installed but would like to switch to KDE and try that out. I have changed my login screen though so I no longer get the option to change my session. Does anyone know how to switch to using KDE? | 07:52 |

| Gnea | halycon: how did you change it? | 07:52 |
| rumpel2 | @halycon change it back | 07:52 |

| aspidites | shadeslayer: i don't even know what tf-tools is, sorry | 07:57 |
| duryodhan | Surlent777: everything is a unix variant | 07:57 |
| * Gnea looks oddly at duryodhan | 07:57 | |
| Surlent777 | duryodhan: Not exactly DOS, if I remember my history lesson in Computer Repair | 07:57 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: thinkfinger tools | 07:57 |
| digdeep | hi, how can I stop pidgin autostart when login | 07:57 |
| aspidites | duryodhan: i was pretty sure windows wasn't a unix variant....mac on the other hand | 07:57 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: there's also plan 9 | 07:58 |
| Surlent777 | mac is a ripoff of BSD, iirc | 07:58 |
| shadeslayer | digdeep: remove it from startup manager | 07:58 |
| duryodhan | aspidites: afaik, all modern OS are based on teh original unix idea | 07:58 |
| lundh | catz boot.img.gz > /dev/sdc1 and then moving the iso onto the usb-drive should give me a bootable linux right? | 07:58 |
| Surlent777 | at least, the current one | 07:58 |
| shadeslayer | !info plan9 | 07:58 |
| ubottu | Package plan9 does not exist in jaunty | 07:58 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: ? | 07:58 |
| Gnea | Surlent777: it's not. they actually worked out a deal that compiles fully with the BSD license. | 07:58 |
| eri- | aspidites: i like to uninstall you can't help me.. because i cant see in synaptic | 07:58 |
| duryodhan | aspidites: unix is a set of ideas on designing OS - which windows also followed , slowly it has made some changes | 07:58 |
| Surlent777 | Gnea: What I mean is, it's not theirs....they just "borrowed" it | 07:58 |
| aspidites | duryodhan: based off of idea and based off of achitecture or source code are two different things. | 07:58 |
| duryodhan | aspidites: but I think thats true for everything - even linux | 07:58 |
| duryodhan | aspidites: unix is an idea | 07:59 |
| mzz | well, the whole "idea" term here is vague enough that the question's mostly meaningless | 07:59 |
| lundh | windows isnt based on unix and mac isnt a ripoff of bsd :) | 07:59 |
| duryodhan | exactly | 07:59 |
| Gnea | Surlent777: and the reason no one is suing apple as a result would be...? :) | 07:59 |
| duryodhan | thats why I said everything is based of unix | 07:59 |
| aspidites | duryodhan: you say unix based, i'm thinking using unix's source code. linux isn't unix based in this since. it's unix-like | 07:59 |
| duryodhan | idea | 07:59 |
| duryodhan | :D | 07:59 |
| shadeslayer | duryodhan: stupid idea imho | 07:59 |
| aspidites | duryodhan: now talking about "ideas", yes, unix based | 07:59 |
| duryodhan | aspidites: yeah fine | 07:59 |
| duryodhan | aspidites: even bsd , unix and mac aren't unix based | 07:59 |
| lundh | mac os x (or its predecessor) is older then the kurrent bsd:s | 07:59 |
| duryodhan | *linux | 07:59 |
| Gnea | duryodhan: dude, dos was developed in someone's garage | 07:59 |
| Surlent777 | Gnea: Have you seen most Apple users? Check their macrumors forum once in a while...I have a screencap of one of those idiots claiming that Macs invented the internet, hence the "MAC address" of every piece of hardware | 08:00 |
| duryodhan | Gnea: NT | 08:00 |
| shadeslayer | haha | 08:00 |
| Gnea | duryodhan: wut? | 08:00 |
| shadeslayer | all this os ot btw ;) | 08:00 |
| duryodhan | Gnea: NT is based on the idea of Unix | 08:00 |
| rumpel2 | i always wondered... | 08:00 |
| mzz | Surlent777: heh | 08:00 |
| aspidites | Surlent777: lol | 08:00 |
| Gnea | duryodhan: but the underlying OS wasn't | 08:00 |
| duryodhan | Gnea: what underlying OS ? NT is the OS .. there is nothing underlying to it | 08:01 |
| lundh | no. NT has a posix subsystem, thats very different | 08:01 |
| luca__ | hi everyone | 08:01 |
| aspidites | hah, we went from newbie customer support center to unix debate panel | 08:01 |
| Surlent777 | too deep for me now, sadly...and I'm getting situational ADD, so I'm going to go read the screen manual to learn how to copy/paste | 08:01 |
| mzz | something like this frequently happens with irc support channels | 08:01 |
| Gnea | Surlent777: I'm sorry, but the fabrication of ideas based on a population of television-watching geeks in order to purport a conspiracy of capitalistic value means what in the grand scheme of things? :) | 08:01 |
| luca__ | I have recently resized my swap partition, and now the system is not able to use it anymore (already checked fstab) | 08:01 |
| duryodhan | lundh: ? | 08:02 |
| Gnea | duryodhan: uhm, NT was not a re-write from the ground up. | 08:02 |
| mzz | luca__: tried rerunning mkswap on it? | 08:02 |
| Gnea | anyway | 08:02 |
| Surlent777 | Gnea: It gives me yet another excuse to degrade a subset of idiots, mostly. Everyone needs a hobby =P | 08:02 |
| mzz | luca__: (make sure it's not used first!) | 08:02 |
| Gnea | this whole conversation is offtopic | 08:02 |
| * Gnea stops. | 08:02 | |
| aspidites | Gnea: oh man...you're one of THOSE people? | 08:02 |
| * duryodhan stops | 08:02 | |
| luca__ | mzz: yeah, and also to add the uuid to fstab and rebooting. No luck :( | 08:02 |
| aspidites | the whole, everything is a big brother conspiracy type? | 08:02 |
| lundh | duryodhan: nt is not built around the unix-phiolosophy. It does however have a posix-compatible layer as requested by the us department of defense | 08:02 |
| mzz | luca__: so how does manually running swapon on it fail? | 08:03 |
| Surlent777 | nah, it's not big brother, it's the illuminati =) | 08:03 |
| aspidites | speaking of fstab, is anyone still using device locations /etc/sd* or has everyone switched to uuids? | 08:03 |
| duryodhan | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT .. designed with features comparable with unix | 08:03 |
| * shadeslayer drinks diet coke | 08:03 | |
| mzz | aspidites: lvm names here | 08:03 |
| Surlent777 | and urine is comparable with soda...they're both liquids. Doesn't mean that urine is soda or vice versa | 08:03 |
| lundh | duryodhan: yeah, those features are the posix subsystem that is an addition to the system | 08:03 |
| aspidites | mzz: i was using lvm, but stopped about 3 months ago | 08:04 |
| luca__ | mzz: well, here is the strange thing - it is mounted but not used; by this I mean I am unable also to hibernate (simple reboot instead) and the usplash is broken (typical) | 08:04 |
| digdeep | shadeslayer: sudo apt-get install startupmanager? | 08:04 |
| Surlent777 | ok, I am not going to be made into a liar. To GNU manuals! | 08:04 |
| mzz | aspidites: my /boot is /dev/disk/by-id/blah, the rest is mostly lvm-based | 08:04 |
| aspidites | ah | 08:04 |
| mzz | luca__: define "mounted" | 08:04 |
| shadeslayer | digdeep: no your startup manager in systems | 08:04 |
| whitevamp | can any one help me out with a wubi error? | 08:05 |
| aspidites | whitevamp: yeah. don't use it :) | 08:05 |
| jtan325 | what do you folks recommend for simple backup? | 08:05 |
| shadeslayer | digdeep: system > prefrences > startup | 08:05 |
| mzz | luca__: how do you know it is "mounted"? How do you know it is "not used"? | 08:05 |
| digdeep | shadeslayer: ok | 08:06 |
| duryodhan | mzz: run mount | 08:06 |
| === dronix is now known as dronix[ub] | ||
| duryodhan | mzz: if its mounted it will show | 08:06 |
| whitevamp | aspidites : yea i know. | 08:06 |
| mzz | jtan325: I use rsync, but trying rdiff-backup is on my todo list | 08:06 |
| mzz | duryodhan: swap isn't really mounted (which is why I was adding those quotation marks) | 08:06 |
| mzz | duryodhan: it definitely won't show up in "mount", at least | 08:06 |
| luca__ | mzz: swapon -a did not output any error; also, it appears on free. Free and system monitor say it is mounted but empty ... and on reboot after hibernating it makes a simple reboot :( | 08:07 |
| Mikebo | Can someone do me a quick favor and check what they have in the Waiting channel column of System Monitor (processes tab) for the gvfs-fuse-daemon. | 08:07 |
| duryodhan | mzz: ohh sorry .. didn't see that is was about swap | 08:07 |
| mzz | luca__: so the actual problem is that you're not resuming properly, correct? | 08:07 |
| luca__ | mzz: basically yeah, but | 08:07 |
| duryodhan | mzz: mzz cat /proc/swaps | 08:07 |
| aspidites | whitevamp: seriously though, what's the issue. we can give it a shot | 08:08 |
| luca__ | mzz: setting swappiness to 100, still the system does not use swap | 08:08 |

| aspidites | jtan325: wrong slash | 08:08 |
| jtan325 | yes. this is *too* awesome | 08:08 |
| luca__ | mzz duryodhan: cat /proc/swap -> nothing | 08:08 |
| duryodhan | luca__: then you are not using swap | 08:09 |

| duryodhan | what the ... | 08:10 |
| luca__ | duryodhan: first thing I tried after reboot :( | 08:10 |
| mzz | luca__: interesting. Did you "cat /proc/swaps"? You should at least get a header line... | 08:10 |
| nmvictor | Hey out their,is their a way I can resize the size of my swap,maybe increasing it | 08:10 |
| aspidites | hey, does anyone know how to manually override rfkill state? | 08:10 |
| luca__ | mzz: "no file or directory" | 08:10 |
| mzz | nmvictor: I'd add a swapfile if this is a temporary thing | 08:10 |
| aspidites | nmvictor: easiest option would be gparted | 08:10 |
| duryodhan | nmvictor: I think you can have multiple partitions as swap partitions | 08:10 |
| mzz | luca__: I'm not in an ubuntu kernel right now but I'm pretty sure /proc/swaps normally exists... | 08:11 |
| nmvictor | mzz:hows that? | 08:11 |
| whitevamp | aspidites: i get through the install and reboot into ubuntu for it to finsh installing and i get the coammand line, and i looked in casper.log and it says it cant find my drives, and then it says it cant find the iso. witch i have dubbled checked and its in the c:/ubuntu/install dir.. so any idea on this? | 08:11 |
| timc | hey, quick question. my ex gf is using slackware. does ubuntu make me a sissy? | 08:11 |
| luca__ | nmvictor: I'd advise not to resize; I have quite some problems after I did it today :P | 08:11 |
| duryodhan | luca__: are you sure cat /proc/swaps didn't give anything ? | 08:11 |
| mzz | luca__: (also, on this system "swapon -s" reads /proc/swaps) | 08:11 |
| luca__ | duryodhan: positive | 08:11 |
| Chowder | timc: .....maybe | 08:11 |
| aspidites | whitevamp: sounds like an /etc/fstab problem or grub issue | 08:11 |
| mzz | luca__: gave you *nothing* or gave you just a header line with no actual partitions listed? | 08:11 |
| duryodhan | timc: well very smart of you to ask in #ubuntu | 08:12 |
| luca__ | duryodhan: my fault; had forgotten the final s | 08:12 |
| luca__ | sorry | 08:12 |
| timc | thanks Chowder | 08:12 |

| Chowder | timc: looks like your ex is more DIY | 08:12 |
| KB1JWQ | What's the Ubuntu equivalent to chkconfig --list on redhat based stuff? | 08:12 |
| luca__ | duryodhan mzz same output as swapon -s | 08:12 |
| shadeslayer | !ati | tyler | 08:12 |
| ubottu | tyler: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:12 |
| aspidites | KB1JWQ: and what does chkconfig --list do? | 08:12 |
| duryodhan | luca__: so there is a swap.. | 08:12 |
| Chowder | timc: if you really want to one-up her use Linux from Scratch on a separate partition | 08:12 |
| duryodhan | luca__: so whats the problem again ? :D | 08:12 |
| mzz | nmvictor: from memory: dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/partition/with/enough/space/swapfile bs=1M count=512 (for 512 MiB of swap), then "swapon /path/to/that/file". When done with the swap: swapoff /path/to/that/file, then rm the file | 08:13 |
| KB1JWQ | shows a list of what services are set to activate at startup | 08:13 |
| luca__ | duryodhan: with swappiness 100, it is not used | 08:13 |
| timc | she's going to slack from LFS | 08:13 |
| duryodhan | luca__: so ? | 08:13 |
| luca__ | duryodhan: and no resume from hibernate :( | 08:13 |
| duryodhan | luca__: aah | 08:13 |
| Chowder | o_O | 08:13 |
| aspidites | whitevamp: honestly though, livecd install will be easier/cleaner than wubi | 08:13 |
| mzz | luca__: so afaict the only problem is it doesn't resume, unless it still doesn't swap after actually forcing enough ram used | 08:13 |
| Chowder | looks like your ex is a well seasoned Linux user | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | MoKu23: the -s switch gives me a menu with options, lsusb will simply spit out everything it can find | 08:13 |
| KB1JWQ | aspidites: So chkconfig postfix on sets postfix to start at boot, chkconfig postfix off disables it at boot, and --list shows what services start at particular runlevels. | 08:14 |
| whitevamp | aspidites: prolbly a botched install ( have uninstalled and reinstalled 5X's, sence there is no fstab file in /etc, lol theres like 5 files there. | 08:14 |
| Chowder | personally, I dualboot with Ubuntu and archlinux | 08:14 |
| timc | i wonder how many girls use slack.... haha | 08:14 |
| duryodhan | luca__: mzz maybe its because your swap seems to be on an lvm ? .. does hibernate work wth that ? | 08:14 |
| luca__ | duryodhan: I am trying to overflow ram, but with swappiness 100 it still should start to use swap earlier | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | timc: haahha | 08:14 |
| mzz | luca__: unfortunately for you I don't know how resume is handled on ubuntu | 08:14 |
| shadeslayer | meh.... tired of tty,switching back to X :P | 08:14 |
| duryodhan | luca__: it is really hard on modern systems to make the kernel use the fs swap .. I have never managed it :D | 08:14 |
| brutus | how do I manually mount a usb mouse? | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | timc: or how many guyes opensuse ;) | 08:14 |
| luca__ | duryodhan: could you please check with gparted what flags does your partition have? | 08:14 |
| duryodhan | brutus: you connect it | 08:15 |
| luca__ | mzz thanks anyway | 08:15 |
| aspidites | whitevamp: yeah, if theres no /etc/fstab, ther is somethind DEFINATELY wrong. that's how linux knows what drives exist. unless wubi does some voodoo magic | 08:15 |
| KB1JWQ | brutus: You don't mount mice. | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: you mount partitions, not devices | 08:15 |
| rumpel2 | @brutus how much Gigabyte? | 08:15 |
| mzz | duryodhan: hibernate definitely can work with that (my swap is on lvm) but I use a custom initramfs. I don't know if ubuntu's initramfs can do this. | 08:15 |
| duryodhan | luca__: not on ubuntu right now | 08:15 |

| luca__ | mzz I am buffled honestly | 08:15 |
| brutus | duryodhan, KB1JWQ ActionParsnip rumpel2 I have connected it but it doesn't sense it | 08:16 |
| rumpel2 | @brutus some kind of very exotic mouse? | 08:16 |
| aspidites | KB1JWQ: seems the package exists on debian though, so it should be the same in ubuntu | 08:16 |
| whitevamp | aspidites: yea i wasnt sure if wubui installed some crazy file in place of fstab or not, so i wasnt sure. | 08:16 |
| unop | luca__, maybe /etc/fstab is trying to mount the wrong partition i.e. the UUID of the partition might have changed | 08:16 |
| mzz | duryodhan: the most straightforward way to resume (resume=/some/partition option to the kernel) doesn't work with swap on lvm, unsurprisingly. You need the initramfs to run the "resume" userspace utility after spinning up lvm. Not hard, but the initramfs needs to figure out or know about your swap partition to do it. | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: is it ps2 or usb? | 08:16 |
| luca__ | unop: already checked but thanks :) | 08:16 |

| ActionParsnip | brutus: does it show up in lsusb | 08:17 |
| jtan325 | is there a way in irc to ignore the "joined" and "quit" messages? | 08:17 |
| aspidites | KB1JWQ: it'd be your basic sudo apt-get install chkconfig | 08:17 |

| shadeslayer | jtan325: which client> | 08:17 |
| shadeslayer | ? | 08:17 |

| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: brain wave ?? | 08:17 |
| rumpel2 | @brutus vendor? model? wireless? | 08:17 |
| luca__ | mzz: partition number no, but the UUID yes - I changed it in the fstab too every time | 08:17 |
| brutus | ActionParsnip, very strangely, lsusb causes my terminal to hang and I have to cross it out and restart the terminal | 08:17 |
| jtan325 | also, it'd be nice if different people's nicks could be colored differently. | 08:17 |
| mzz | luca__: oh, uuid change is a good point. I suspect you may have to regenerate the initramfs, but I don't know how to do that. | 08:17 |
| jtan325 | i'm such an irssi n00b | 08:17 |

| armoredsaint | doing | 08:18 |
| KB1JWQ | brutus: Might be a bad mouse. | 08:18 |
| mzz | luca__: the resume happens (has to happen!) before the root partition is mounted. fstab isn't used here, but may be used when the initramfs is generated. | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: hmm, ok then take it out, wait 10 seconds, back in, 10 seconds, the run dmesg | tail | 08:18 |

| brutus | shadeslayer, yes, usb mouse is not being detected when I plug it in | 08:18 |
| shadeslayer | brutus: lsusb hangs? | 08:19 |
| mzz | luca__: (while the system is suspended the root partition is dirty. Mounting it would involve rolling back the journal, so it can't do that, has to figure out how to resume without reading the root partition) | 08:19 |

| mzz | jtan325: there are scripts for different nick colors, I think. For page up/down you can (unsurprisingly) hit the pgup/pgdown keys on your keyboard :) | 08:20 |
| KB1JWQ | brutus: Hmm. Have another computer? | 08:20 |
| KB1JWQ | Or another OS on this one? | 08:20 |
| shadeslayer | whitevamp: botched wubi :P | 08:20 |
| KB1JWQ | I'd be curious to see if the problem follows the mouse. | 08:20 |
| jtan325 | Petrus_: looks like i'll have to hit up the monstrous manual | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: try: sudo rmmod usbhid ; sleep 3; sudo modprobe usbhid | 08:20 |
| brutus | shadeslayer, the tty hangs too | 08:20 |
| KB1JWQ | Because I've never had issue under any OS with USB mice; they "just work" | 08:20 |
| jtan325 | mzz: thanks | 08:20 |
| aspidites | KB1JWQ: lol. fair enough | 08:20 |
| luca__ | mzz unop: ok I have done "sudo update-initramfs -c -k all" | 08:21 |
| mzz | jtan325: the /lastlog command really helps in busy channels like this (I'm typing "/lastlog jt<tab> 10" a lot to keep track of conversations) | 08:21 |
| Petrus_ | jtan, the details might vary a bit by client, but the main thing you want, as I said, is the server numerics for joins and parts | 08:21 |
| luca__ | unop mzz: I think I'll reboot now, and see if it functions. Thanks! :) | 08:21 |
| shadeslayer | brutus: oh my,are you sure its hung up and simply not taking a bit long to detect the device | 08:21 |
| mzz | luca__: good luck... | 08:21 |
| aspidites | whitevamp: since i've only tried wubi once ,and it was forever ago, no. sorry | 08:21 |
| luca__ | mzz: thx | 08:21 |
| luca__ | bye | 08:21 |
| Afin | cgfd | 08:21 |
| shadeslayer | brutus: lsusb works without the mouse? | 08:21 |
| jtan325 | mzz: sweet, thanks. | 08:21 |
| brutus | shadeslayer, I'm guessing it hangs because ctrl-c doesn't stop it...and it takes too much time | 08:21 |
| jtan325 | mzz: please keep the tips coming | 08:22 |
| KB1JWQ | brutus: I wouldn't necessarily expect ctrl-c to stop it if the kernel's what's hanging. | 08:22 |
| aspidites | whitevamp: cheap shot follows ---> leave it to windows to botch up something like installing an alternative os ;) | 08:22 |
| jtan325 | mzz: any idea on disabling/hiding the quit/joined? | 08:22 |
| whitevamp | shadeslayer: yes craped out install of wubi | 08:22 |
| brutus | shadeslayer, yup...without mouse too | 08:22 |
| whitevamp | aspidites: ok thx | 08:22 |
| brutus | ActionParsnip, ERROR: Module usbhid is in use | 08:22 |
| mzz | jtan325: see "/help ignore", but I don't have the actual command memorized | 08:22 |
| KB1JWQ | jtan325: I usually just ignore it. I've got a lot of irssi customizations that make it tolerable; run it in a screen session on a remote server. | 08:22 |
| shadeslayer | brutus: so it doesnt work without the mouse too,thats......very strange | 08:22 |
| brutus | shadeslayer, in face...usb drives don't work too for some reason | 08:23 |
| brutus | *fact | 08:23 |
| jtan325 | the command is /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS | 08:23 |
| jtan325 | (yay google) | 08:23 |
| mzz | jtan325: (I don't have them ignored by irssi, I just don't pay attention to them) | 08:23 |
| * ActionParsnip does the vm dance | 08:23 | |
| shadeslayer | brutus: bad mobo maybe? | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: tried a different usb port? | 08:23 |
| mzz | jtan325: that sounds like it ignores nick changes, which I'd find confusing. | 08:24 |
| brutus | shadeslayer, shucks...I have a friend who has the exact same computer but has no problems...but the usb works on windows | 08:24 |
| jtan325 | mzz: yea i didn't do the NICKS part | 08:24 |
| KB1JWQ | brutus: The mouse also works in Windows? | 08:24 |
| aspidites | hey guys, is it true that ubuntu switched to a new init script that apparently cuts down load time? if so, that could mean that usb devices aren't being reconized because the init process is happening too soon | 08:24 |
| mzz | just checking :) | 08:24 |
| brutus | ActionParsnip, nope...doesn't work in any of the 3 ports i have | 08:24 |
| shadeslayer | brutus: hmmm maybe then the drivers arent properly loaded | 08:25 |
| brutus | KB1JWQ, it works on windows... | 08:25 |
| brutus | shadeslayer, how do I find out? | 08:25 |
| shadeslayer | brutus: yeah im researching that | 08:25 |
| aspidites | brutus: lsmod | grep usb me thinks | 08:25 |
| jtan325 | mzz: any other irssi tips? | 08:25 |
| jtan325 | KB1JWQ: i'd love to see your config, if you don't mind | 08:25 |
| mzz | jtan325: remind me if it hilights lines including your nick by default? if not: /help hilight | 08:26 |

| Ast001 | Hi I tried to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 (amd64) and it wrongly calculate volume id and made my grub boot loader unbootable | 08:29 |
| tyler | I am on Ubuntu 8.1, and am having problems with Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager, any tips? | 08:29 |
| Krewl_2 | hm, xchat just disappeared | 08:29 |
| brutus | aspidites, it doesn't stop...when I plug it in it doesn't get detected, but on restarting the comp it works...I have to restart soemthing in /etc/init.d probably | 08:29 |

| ubuntumies | Q: i got my friends external fat32 usb drive, which automounts nicely under Ubuntu 9.04. But how can I change the permissions so I'm able to write and delete files on the disk, not only read? | 08:29 |
| threatrix | I have an external usb hardrive and when ever I start up ubuntu I have to pull the usb cord and re plug it in for ubuntu to read it but my other OS reads it fine. How would I go about getting it to mount itself in ubuntu so I dont have to mess with the USB | 08:29 |
| shadeslayer | dronix: xcaht | 08:29 |
| Ast001 | I copied old menu.lst and I could boot in Ubuntu after that but it can not recognize my windows disk any more as well as my usb stick with fat32 filesystem | 08:30 |
| shadeslayer | dronix: *xchat | 08:30 |
| dronix | shadeslayer, oh * before it? | 08:30 |
| shadeslayer | dronix: no | 08:30 |
| aspidites | brutus: yeah, that's what it sounds like. painful, but you could try blacklisting modules incrementally to find out the culprit | 08:30 |
| dronix | oh lol, I already tried xchat, didn't work | 08:30 |
| jtan325 | man, overall, ubuntu's come a long way since i used it back in 5.X | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: then there is a service that needs restarting or module that needs probing out and in | 08:30 |
| KB1JWQ | jtan325: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi | 08:30 |
| aspidites | ubuntumies: is it fat32? | 08:30 |
| tyler | shadeslayer: thank you, i have been there and thats what i am using for reference...I get to the point of installing the restriced driver manager, but it says i have the newest version, and when i go to check it in System-Admin its not there | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: sudo rmmod usbhid; sleep 3; sudo modprobe usbhid | 08:31 |
| brutus | ActionParsnip, how do I restart all usb related modules without restarting the machine | 08:31 |
| shadeslayer | brutus:did restarting hal do it? | 08:31 |
| jtan325 | any recommendations for simple backup (besides rsync)? | 08:31 |
| rumpel2 | Ast001, do you know, how your disc(s) are partitioned? | 08:31 |
| Ast001 | yes I know | 08:31 |
| brutus | shadeslayer, nope...it just restarted fine but to no effect | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: usbhid = human interface d<something> which should be controlling the mouse | 08:31 |
| ubuntumies | aspidites: yes, it's fat32. i also tried "sudo nautilus" in terminal, but it didn't help either | 08:31 |
| aspidites | brutus: sudo modprobe -r usb* mabye? then modprobe them to put them back up | 08:31 |
| shadeslayer | tyler: so the drivers are activated? | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntumies: dont run nautilus with sudo, you'll get issues, use gksudo | 08:32 |
| aspidites | ubuntumies: you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab file | 08:32 |
| tyler | shadeslayer: no...i cant seem to get it to work | 08:32 |
| spacechicken | G'Day. I am trying to run a perl script. It gets to about 400Mb of memory before dying with the message "Killed". Is there a setting I can change in Ubuntu to allow it to continue? | 08:32 |
| ubuntumies | ActionParsnip: ok, i will try that | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntumies: sudo is ONLY for cli apps like cp,apt-get, mv, touch | 08:32 |
| shadeslayer | tyler: so no green light in the restricted drivers ?? did you restart ?? | 08:32 |
| ubuntumies | aspidites: is there any way to change the way Ubuntu automounts external usb drive? | 08:32 |
| KB1JWQ | spacechicken: reasonably certain that's a perl enviroment issue. Try asking in #perl? | 08:32 |
| tyler | shadowslayer: Tried sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntumies: gksudo is for graphical apps like gedit, nautilus etc | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: better? | 08:33 |
| ubuntumies | ActionParsnip: that's new things for me, thanks for the advice! :) | 08:33 |
| spacechicken | KB1JWQ: will do. Just trying to ascertain the cause. Thanks | 08:33 |

| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip , brutus ,https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/36339 | 08:33 |
| mzz | spacechicken: might want to check "ulimit -a", just in case | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | shadeslayer: wow thats pretty hilarious | 08:34 |
| Ast001 | here is my menu.lst which worket with 8.04 http://pastebin.com/m1d7eb90d | 08:34 |
| mzz | spacechicken: I'd expect the limits to be higher than that, but I could be wrong. | 08:34 |
| aspidites | ubuntumies: i don't know. i use archlinux. there, you change your hal and udev rules. i'm not sure of the ubuntuish userfriendly method to do this | 08:34 |
| Ast001 | Problem is that 9.04 is not recognize my entire hard disk /dev/sdb | 08:34 |
| Ast001 | there is no /dev/sdb anymore | 08:34 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: ?? | 08:35 |
| aspidites | ubuntumies: i imagine the easiest thing would be to add the external drive to your fstab file | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: ok looks like you gotta sudo rmmod usbhid | 08:35 |
| platius | brutus; is this a new hardware setup? My gigabyte mb had the bios default of USB mouse support disabled. | 08:35 |
| tyler | shadowslayer: Keeps saying the package is the newest version...but when i look for it in the System-Admin it is not there | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: then plug in the mouse, then sudo modprobe usbhid | 08:35 |
| Ast001 | and when I put usb stick /dev/sdc it can not recongize it too and 8.10 could | 08:35 |
| spacechicken | mzz - max memory size is unlimited | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: have the mouse OUT before you run the rmmod command | 08:35 |
| Petrus | aspidites, the irony is that the supposedly user friendly method ends up being far more difficult to use. ;) | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | brutus: out, rmmod, in, modprobe | 08:36 |
| aspidites | ubuntumies: something like /dev/hda7 /home/extra vfat noauto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0" | 08:36 |
| rumpel2 | Ast001, check gparted for renamed partitions and adapt menu.st | 08:36 |
| ubuntumies | aspidites: that's one way to do it for sure, to edit the fstab file. i just thought there would be easy++ way to edit the automount options and let any additional usb fat32 drives to be mounted with 755 options or something. | 08:36 |
| aspidites | ubuntumies: something like "/dev/hda7 /home/extra vfat noauto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0" in your fstab should work. change /dev/hda7 accordingly | 08:36 |
| Ast001 | I have checked with rescue CD every disk and partition is there. | 08:37 |
| ubuntumies | aspidites: thanks for the tip, i will try that! ;) | 08:37 |
| ubuntumies | brb | 08:37 |
| aspidites | ubuntumies: yeah, only way i know to allow linux to automount all external fat32 drives is by editing udev rules, sorry | 08:37 |
| * mzz prefers fmask=111,dmask=000 over umask=000, iirc | 08:37 | |
| Ast001 | I wonder why updater wrote wrong uuid to menu.lst during upgrade ? | 08:37 |
| aspidites | Petrus: I hear ya. thats why i don't trust anything that says user-friendly anymore :) i do most everyhting by hand and text config files | 08:38 |
| Ast001 | anyway I don't need that proprietory spying software called windows... No big deal. Installer made me favour indeed. | 08:39 |
| indus | whats the difference between sudo and gksudo | 08:40 |
| indus | i never use gksudo | 08:40 |
| indus | !gksudo | 08:40 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:40 |

| aspidites | so what is restricted-manager? is that something ubuntu cooked up to manage proprietary packages or something? | 08:51 |

| aspidites | DASPRiD: moo | 08:51 |
| tyler | shadowslayer: so in other words its working fine? | 08:51 |
| aspidites | ActionParsnip: might be easier for him to rmmod if he exits X? | 08:52 |

| aksci | ActionParsnip: sorry fr delayed reply, well i didn't do a md5 check, but checked the cd before booting into it to find its okay! | 08:52 |
| shadeslayer | tyler: i think that wiki stars that the X cards are natively supported | 08:52 |
| shadeslayer | *states | 08:52 |
| aspidites | jony_boy: openttd | 08:52 |

| shadeslayer | anyone who can confirm what im thinking?? that the X300 is natively supporte? | 08:53 |
| shadeslayer | tyler: one sec | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | aksci: its worth a check on the iso, always check the iso. if the iso is bad you can save yourself a cd | 08:53 |
| aspidites | Petrus: ah. f* that. | 08:53 |
| tyler | shadowslayer: ok | 08:53 |
| brutus | ActionParsnip, hmmm...this is frustrating...i have no usb device plugged in and it still says its in use | 08:53 |

| shadeslayer | aspidites: everything is set to high :) | 09:04 |
| ghanshyam | hi | 09:04 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: dont know how to use -c | 09:04 |
| ghanshyam | i have getting problem while open Terminal.. | 09:04 |
| ghanshyam | i m getting following error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" | 09:05 |
| ghanshyam | how can i solve this problem | 09:05 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: alsamixer -c 0 | 09:06 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: then try with a one. wait..doesn't ubuntu use pulseaudio? | 09:06 |
| Gnea | shadeslayer: -c # refers to the soundcard number, as referenced by alsa in /proc/asound/cards | 09:06 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: same thing | 09:06 |
| eNons3nse | Quick questions guys. Ever since the update the new version of Braserio has been in my updater but it wont let me update it. What's the problem here? | 09:06 |
| aspidites | eNons3nse: what error is given when you try to update? | 09:07 |
| shadeslayer | Gnea: i see all this talk of mic gain or mic boost in the forums,cant seem to enable it | 09:07 |
| aspidites | eNons3nse: have you tried updating from the command line? | 09:07 |
| Gnea | alsamixer will, as long as the settings for the system prefer pulseaudio, default to the pulseaudio mixer device when used without argument | 09:07 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: i know when i had mic issues, installing audacity and using it's config panel helped me diagnose the issue | 09:08 |
| Gnea | shadeslayer: it's usually a switch in the mixer, 1 or 0 | 09:08 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: i have audacity,i use it,i can hear my voice after amplifying it,but its very low before proper amplification | 09:09 |
| Gnea | shadeslayer: for instance, i use alsamixer -c 0 to access my soundcard mixer directly, bypassing the pulseaudio mixer, and i can dis/en/able the mic boost by selecting the 'Mic Boost' and then simply unmuting it | 09:10 |
| Gnea | shadeslayer: of course, next to that, is the 'Mic' volume itself | 09:10 |
| aspidites | Gnea: so ubuntu doesn't operate like this by default? | 09:10 |
| shadeslayer | Gnea: thats the problem i cant see micboost as a option | 09:10 |

| aspidites | shadeslayer: did you go to the other tabs in alsamixer? the one named "All"? | 09:11 |
| shadeslayer | Gnea: ICH8 intel HDA | 09:11 |
| hmw | shadeslayer Gnea: some sound cards seem not to have this boost option, and i suspect, that it wont be listed, if that is the case...? | 09:11 |
| shadeslayer | aspidites: yes | 09:11 |
| Gnea | aspidites: it's a weird workaround | 09:11 |
| eNons3nse | ok. I was able to update it with apt. | 09:11 |
| Gnea | hmw: it's possible | 09:11 |
| shadeslayer | ill brb | 09:11 |
| aspidites | Gnea: would software mixing allow some sort of mic boosting? ie dmix or the like? | 09:12 |
| hmw | Gnea shadeslayer: you could maybe check, if this option is there in the windows mixer | 09:12 |
| eNons3nse | so I have 1 more question. there's a new notification system now right? i don't think i've seen any. what's an action i can do to make one of these notifications appear? | 09:12 |
| shadeslayer | hmw: no such option in windows | 09:12 |

| shadeslayer | eNons3nse: IM | 09:14 |
| Gnea | hmw: it might be there, just not enabled/selected | 09:14 |
| aspidites | Gnea: just figured it might be an option for him, and i figured you'd be the one to best describe the steps to use it, since you are both in ubuntu | 09:15 |
| Gnea | hmw, aspidites: if the soundcard itself has a MIC input, then it's going to have some sort of control for it | 09:15 |
| hmw | shadeslayer: ic. I am not a sound expert, especially not under linux *G*, but I see some options: You could get a new sound card or a better (active) microphone, or you could patch the mike through your Home Stereo for having a normal 5V line in signal, which you can record on your PC | 09:15 |
| creative83 | Hey everybody. Is this bug going to be fixed in 2.6.28 soon? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/346691/ Because whole systems aren't working. And I can't switch to 2.6.29 due to dkms messing with my ati driver. | 09:15 |

| Gnea | shadeslayer: k, the mic boost doesn't have a scale, it's just an on/off thing... perhaps it can be found in preferences and then switching tabs? | 09:20 |
| aspidites | shadeslayer: long shot, but try voice chat software. see if its just recording, or any mic activity that has low output | 09:20 |

| paolo | hmw, I want epiphany have access to its stored passwords when run remotely. | 09:42 |
| eNons3nse | shadeslayer: yeah. says it's sleeping. | 09:42 |
| hmw | laba: install vim - use synaptics and look at the descriptions for the right package | 09:42 |
| shadeslayer | eNons3nse: are you on a laptop or desktop? | 09:42 |
| eNons3nse | desktop | 09:42 |
| DawnLight | can someone take a look at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/70002 ? | 09:42 |

| karol^ | anyone knows how to force > 2048 resolution on intel 965 after recent update? | 09:43 |
| hmw | paolo: as i understand it, the program runs on the server, but is displayed on the local computer, so it *should* be able to access the settings stored on the machin it acutally runs on. strange... | 09:43 |
| shadeslayer | eNons3nse: ok get someone to im you on pidgin | 09:43 |
| shadeslayer | karol^: maybe editing xorg.conf,not sure about it tho | 09:44 |
| connex | what is wrong here: while [ sudo kill -USR1 16930 > stat.txt ] ; do sleep 5; done; | 09:44 |
| karol^ | shadeslayer: yes but edit how, I already added Virtual 3840 1200, it has no effect | 09:44 |
| jtan325_ | connex: should it be >> instead of > ? | 09:45 |
| eNons3nse | shadeslayer: haha. i'm trying, but it's almost 4am | 09:45 |
| jtan325_ | connex: nvm | 09:45 |
| paolo | hmw, you can run every guy program remotely if you have ssh server installed on the server (which is not the default) with "ssh -X server program" from the client, and everything is fine, execpt access to personal data | 09:45 |
| stjepan | I'm back.... interestingly, I can change backgrounds and themes after killing and restarting nautilus, but I still can't change icons | 09:45 |
| connex | while sudo kill -USR1 16930 > stat.txt ; do sleep 5; done; should be no [ ] | 09:45 |
| shadeslayer | eNons3nse: lol,how about playing a mp3 | 09:45 |
| shadeslayer | eNons3nse: you could use the IRC too,with pidgin | 09:46 |
| hmw | paolo: maybe using a program remotely gets the program run in a different user context? | 09:46 |
| eNons3nse | shadeslayer: i know. i just don't have this room set up | 09:47 |
| eNons3nse | shadeslayer: nothing happens with mp3s | 09:47 |

| michael_ | i just installed ubuntu and now my harddrives are locked | 10:00 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: locked? | 10:00 |
| michael_ | and i tried all my passwords, nothing works :( | 10:00 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: bios lock? | 10:00 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, as soon as i boot up, yes... i can access the bios.. it's odd.. | 10:01 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, i have a dual boot with xp | 10:01 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: can you change the passworrds? | 10:01 |
| shadeslayer | *passwords | 10:01 |
| ziroday | michael_: what do you mean by your hard drives are locked? | 10:01 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, i can access the one xp harddrive, from bios i changed the password.. but then there is ANOTHER password (exact same screen, different hard drive (i'm assuming that's the ubuntu one) | 10:01 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, after xp install there was no password, only after ubuntu install | 10:02 |
| shadeslayer | weird.... | 10:02 |
| michael_ | ziroday, after i startup computer, nothing loads but a white screen and black text, asking for a password | 10:02 |
| ziroday | michael_: did you encrypt your hard drives when installing? | 10:03 |
| shadeslayer | ziroday: bios lock | 10:03 |
| michael_ | ziroday, gives me harddrive 'serial' number, and says it's locked | 10:03 |
| Cyclops | test | 10:03 |
| shadeslayer | or that | 10:03 |
| michael_ | ziroday, not that i remember, but i tried the only password i put in | 10:03 |
| ziroday | michael_: err right, well you can reset your bios by pulling out the battery on the CMOS. Anyway this isn't an ubuntu problem and this is probably not the best place to ask :) | 10:04 |
| Cyclops | This is my first time using IRC chat, really good ah! | 10:04 |
| michael_ | ziroday, it only happened after installing ubuntu (dual boot with xp!) | 10:04 |
| shadeslayer | ziroday: hehe thats going to take some time :P | 10:04 |
| michael_ | ziroday, there's no base 'admin' hard disk password? | 10:04 |
| michael_ | ziroday, for ubuntu? | 10:05 |
| dingdongding | anyone have soundcard problem after upgraded to jaunty with compaq presario CQ40? | 10:05 |
| ziroday | michael_: how did you install ubuntu? And the base 'admin' password is you're users password | 10:05 |
| michael_ | anyone know if there's a 'base' admin password for harddisk when installing ubuntu? | 10:05 |
| duryodhan | michael_: no | 10:05 |
| michael_ | ziroday, tried it. installed it after xp by clicking 'install' on the live cd | 10:05 |
| ziroday | michael_: wait, so you installed it _in_ XP, or by rebooting _into_ the livecd? | 10:06 |
| duryodhan | ignore -channels #ubuntu * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS | 10:06 |
| shadeslayer | duryodhan: / | 10:06 |
| michael_ | ziroday, by rebooting into live cd | 10:07 |
| ziroday | michael_: i.e. did you use wubi, or a real ubuntu install? | 10:07 |
| Cyclops | are you chinese? | 10:07 |
| michael_ | ziroday, real | 10:07 |
| ziroday | michael_: okay, well you can't have set a hard drive password with the livecd, that option is only on the alternate one. Can you take a picture of the error and upload it somewhere? | 10:07 |
| MidnightDevil | hello fellas :) | 10:07 |

| ziroday | lundh: do you have space on your hard drive still? | 10:08 |
| lundh | yes | 10:08 |
| Cyclops | ÌìÄÄûÏëÕâÀï¿ÉÒÔÓÃÖÐÎÄ°¡ | 10:08 |
| ziroday | lundh: okay, well set the space to swap, add it to /etc/fstab and reboot or do swapon -a | 10:08 |
| lundh | thanks | 10:08 |
| michael_ | ziroday, negative, i can't even get onto the machine ;) only option i have is to boot the xp disk and try it all again! | 10:08 |
| ziroday | Cyclops: english _only_ | 10:08 |
| lundh | that was easy :) | 10:08 |
| ziroday | lundh: if you're not sure about anything feel free to ask :) | 10:09 |
| ziroday | michael_: so you can get into windows? | 10:09 |
| michael_ | ziroday, there are two hardisks, the one i set the password for via the bios... the second i don't know how to get into | 10:09 |
| michael_ | ziroday, actually no... it says "no bootable drive" but i can boot from cd | 10:09 |
| qiyong | i'm making a pkg. in order to install /usr/bin/foo, i need to have ./BUILD/usr/bin/foo and run dpkg -b ./BUILD ? | 10:09 |

| lundh | ziroday: thanks, I think that was answer enough :) | 10:09 |
| michael_ | ziroday, i must have made a mistake when installing ubuntu | 10:09 |
| ziroday | michael_: okay, and this leads us all back to it being a bios fault :) | 10:09 |
| dingdongding | anyone have soundcard problem after upgraded to jaunty with compaq presario CQ40? | 10:10 |
| michael_ | ziroday, it didn't give me an option to partition the disks with the slider thingy (know what i mean) | 10:10 |
| ziroday | michael_: ubuntu does _not_ have that option to "lock" your hard drive unless you are using the alternate cd and that is via encryption | 10:10 |
| michael_ | ziroday, so i chose the "use largest unused space thing" | 10:10 |
| ziroday | michael_: mmhm | 10:10 |
| michael_ | ziroday, but the lock only happened after ubuntu install O_o lol | 10:10 |
| ziroday | qiyong: ask in #ubuntu-motu | 10:10 |
| Cyclops | My English is very poor, Is there any IRC channel Chinese ah? | 10:10 |
| ziroday | !cn | Cyclops | 10:10 |
| lundh | while on the subject, what kind of encryption is used on the aternative cd? | 10:10 |
| ziroday | Cyclops: xie /join #ubuntu-cn | 10:11 |
| ziroday | lundh: strong :) | 10:11 |
| lundh | ziroday: what system is used? | 10:11 |
| ziroday | lundh: err I used to know this, let me try dig it up | 10:11 |
| ziroday | lundh: LUKS with an encrypted LVM partition | 10:12 |
| shadeslayer | lundh: encryption which the FBI uses ;) | 10:12 |
| lundh | ok, thanks :) | 10:13 |
| ziroday | lundh: encryption wise I have a feeling its 256bit RSA but I am very likely to be wrong | 10:13 |

| chocobanana | I have this weird thing going on with 9.04. Whenever I start my computer, networkmanager supposedly connects to my wireless network. However, it won't be able to load any webpages. If access the router configuration page, it goes to a totally different router configuration page, unknown to me. If I fire up the network manager list again and click my network, then it reconnects and it works. If I repeat this, it will take me to the unknown | 10:19 |
| Mud|afk | when I do this command : ufw allow proto udp 10.35.39.39 port 80 to 10.200.27.5 port 8080 | 10:20 |
| Mud|afk | its gives a error | 10:20 |
| chocobanana | sorry for the long post | 10:20 |
| Mud|afk | error404notfound: Wrong number of arguments | 10:20 |
| shadeslayer | tried the man pages? | 10:20 |
| Mud|afk | yes | 10:20 |
| Mechdave | chocobanana, do you happen to have 2 different networks with the same ESSID? | 10:21 |

| pulzer | Hello. I been dualbooting vista as my "backup" for certain programs that wouldnt smoothly with Wine, but now thinking of replacing Vista with Windows7RC. I am guessing Win7 install will place its own boot manager instead of grub. Anyone know if guides online for getting grub back with Vista-dual works for Win7 too? | 10:21 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: I thought about that and no, I haven't 2 SSIDs. The unknown router configuration page is also from a router I do not own | 10:22 |
| chocobanana | ziroday: already tried that.... :( | 10:22 |

| shadeslayer | Mud|afk: try googling | 10:23 |
| Mechdave | chocobanana, that is what made me think someone could have the same SSID as you have configured, what happens if you change your SSID to something completly different | 10:23 |
| shadeslayer | pulzer: yes,if you carefully read the wiki your question will be answered | 10:23 |

| Drikan | and the x11 system | 10:23 |
| linny | Drikan: your in the right place ask your question | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | Drikan: just ask :) | 10:24 |
| chillitom | or irc.gnome.org might be better | 10:24 |
| Mud|afk | shadeslayer already done :s | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: thanks | 10:24 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: haven't tried that yet but that also occured to me... The thing is that I have various computers around, including another machine running 9.04 w/ wireless without any issues whatsoever... | 10:24 |
| adac | Currently running ubuntu from usb stick. Unfortunately programs hang from time to time. Is this because of the usb2.0 device or can I do something to speed things up? | 10:25 |
| Drikan | ok in win xp and an old copy of redhat 7.3 my x enviorment looked just fine but in ubuntu 1/2 of the screen looks as thow i have a memory issue | 10:25 |
| shadeslayer | adac: probably the stick,low read write speeds | 10:25 |
| Drikan | the colors dont quite display correct ly on the lower 1/2 of the screen the video card i have is a silicon motion | 10:26 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: and it only started happening yesterday. I've been running 9.04 since the RC without any wireless issues... | 10:26 |
| Drikan | now im pretty sure the red hat was using a basic generic driver for it | 10:26 |
| Mechdave | chocobanana, that is strange, how many wireless networks does the network applet show you? | 10:27 |
| michael_ | AH! i royally messed up my system while installing ubuntu... nothing i run can recognize my disks... :( anyone know what irc channel i should go to for help? | 10:27 |
| shadeslayer | Mud|afk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall too? | 10:27 |
| michael_ | ie - im in the live ubuntu cd again, and the partitioner doesn't see anything | 10:27 |
| Drikan | but i think ubuntu is using the wrong driver for my video card | 10:28 |
| Drikan | its running on an old Gateway laptop solo1150 | 10:28 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: the partition table got corrupted maybe,i had the same problem,had to make a new table | 10:28 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: around 10, including 2 or 3 unprotected. I suspect that for some reason it connects to one of the unprotected networks and it makes the connection under mine's name... | 10:28 |
| Mechdave | chocobanana, do you have security on yours? | 10:29 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, i can't even get there.. nothing is showing and no options are clickable | 10:29 |
| shadeslayer | Mud|afk: sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.2 to any port 22 | 10:29 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: yes | 10:29 |
| Mechdave | michael_, if you go into BIOS and select autodetect hard drives does it show you the ones installed? | 10:29 |
| Mud|afk | hmm | 10:29 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: um can you boot the live cd? | 10:29 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, yes | 10:30 |
| shadeslayer | Mud|afk: from here https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html | 10:30 |
| Drikan | so how do i see what x11 is using and how do i see a list of like drivers that i can switch X11 to | 10:30 |
| Drikan | ? | 10:30 |
| Mud|afk | I am reading now shadeslayer that ufw is only for incomming traffic | 10:30 |
| Mechdave | chocobanana, I have never heard that happening before | 10:30 |
| michael_ | Mechdave, im trying to run the onboard diagnostics now... i didn't see autodetect but i'll try it | 10:30 |
| Mud|afk | I want to redirect traffic :o | 10:30 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: so the HD is not even detected as in live cd shows no HD's ? | 10:30 |
| Drikan | ive used linux before but its been a few years | 10:30 |
| michael_ | Mechdave, but in the diagnostics it already said "no hard drives detected" :( :( | 10:30 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, exactly :( | 10:30 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: oh wait... I'm looking at my resolv.conf file and it's directing to a specific domain name... | 10:31 |
| Lovis | hey, i'm looking for a good open source virtualising application. can someone give me a hint which one i should use? | 10:31 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: loose cable,etc? | 10:31 |
| adac | shadeslayer, hmm stick (sandisk) should be quite fast... Can i check somehow the usb device if it is really 2.0? | 10:31 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, laptop | 10:31 |
| rikkardo | anyone knows why dosbox doesnt work properly wigth 9.04? | 10:31 |
| Mechdave | shadeslayer, do you know if Ubuntu needs the BIOS to detect the disks even though it doesn't use it for acces? | 10:31 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: let me check what's on the other 9.04 machine.... | 10:31 |
| shadeslayer | adac: lsusb might show it | 10:31 |
| michael_ | Mechdave, it told me i need a dell tech support.. blah | 10:31 |
| djiezes | Lovis: virtualizing OS's? Virtualbox might be the thing for you, there's an opensource edition in the ubuntu repositories. | 10:31 |
| michael_ | shadeslayer, what could i have done wrong in the ubuntu install? | 10:32 |
| Lovis | thx djiezes | 10:32 |
| Mud|afk | shadeslayer: gonna try it with iptables (again :< ) | 10:32 |
| shadeslayer | michael_: no idea,you did it :P | 10:32 |
| adac | shadeslayer, http://pastebin.com/m6d7932e1 | 10:32 |
| Mud|afk | iptables..prrrrr | 10:32 |
| Mechdave | chocobanana, isn't the resolv.conf re written every time a new connection is made? | 10:32 |
| Mud|afk | brrr* | 10:32 |
| adac | seems to be 2.0 | 10:32 |
| shadeslayer | Mud|afk: didnt the wiki help? | 10:32 |
| Mechdave | michael_, Uh-Oh | 10:32 |
| shadeslayer | Mechdave: no idea | 10:32 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: I believe so | 10:32 |
| Mud|afk | no shadeslayer, I want to redirect traffic, so ufw doesnt suite my situation | 10:33 |
| chocobanana | Mechdave: I'm gonna do some tinkering and I'll be right back | 10:33 |
| Mechdave | michael_, Maybe try the BIOS autodetect then, fingers crossed | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | adac: yep 2.0 | 10:33 |
| Mechdave | chocobanana, right you are :) | 10:33 |
| Insectoid | Trying to install binary ATI drivers using the envyng program, it throws a long python traceback which I can pastebin. This makes me very very sad. | 10:33 |
| michael_ | Mechdave, well i installed windows, it worked fine... then loaded the live cd, installed ubuntu, then this happened | 10:33 |
| Niek | hi, I made a audio disk (with just one song on it) a few weeks ago, I unchecked the "Close after writing" thingey on the disk, and I want to add a audio file to it (mp3, but brasero converts that into "cd format"). How do i do that ? I only get options like "copy disk" etc | 10:33 |
| adac | shadeslayer, hmmm: http://pastebin.com/m15ad36f8 well does the bus tell the usb slot? | 10:34 |
| blizzkid | what's the correct syntax to run apg and pipe it's output as an argument to a php script? | 10:34 |
| shadeslayer | usb slot? | 10:34 |
| adac | shadeslayer, well is Bus 001 the usb slot itself | 10:35 |
| adac | what is device 004 then? | 10:35 |
| shadeslayer | adac: HD's have read write speeds of 50 Mbps,flash disks have 15-20 mbps thus they are quite slow | 10:35 |
| Mechdave | Niek, if you write the disk as you would a blank, I think brasero will find out it is a non closed disk and then change the burning accordingly | 10:35 |
| adac | shadeslayer, I see! | 10:35 |
| Niek | Mechdave: well, it doesn't. I say "new audio project", drag my music file into it, and i say "burn" and then it says I didn't insert any recordable disks | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | adac: i have such ports myself,they are internal slots,cannot be used | 10:36 |

| adac | shadeslayer, ok thx! | 10:37 |
| shadeslayer | adac: better install to HD ;) | 10:37 |
| adac | shadeslayer, :P | 10:38 |
| adac | shadeslayer, so even a external usb hd would be better? | 10:38 |
| shadeslayer | adac: depends,if it can utilize the full potential of the port then maybe yes | 10:39 |
| adac | shadeslayer, definitely worth a try then :) | 10:39 |
| Ada2358 | Ponders /ignoring shadelayer, due to system beeps on the ada hilight... | 10:39 |
| shadeslayer | adac: yeah,up to you, | 10:39 |
| Drikan | linny: so where do i change my video drivers in X win? | 10:39 |
| Mechdave | michael_, The auto detect usually is in the BIOS settings (usually Del whilst booting to access) and on your comp I am not sure where you would find the auto detect, have a browse around but don't save any configurations | 10:40 |
| shadeslayer | Ada2358: remove it then ;) | 10:40 |
| adac | shadeslayer, aye! | 10:40 |
| Ada2358 | I might just part ubuntu | 10:40 |
| shadeslayer | Ada2358: too crowded/ | 10:40 |
| Ada2358 | :P, the ada highlight is what I highlight on elsewhere | 10:40 |
| Mechdave | michael_, which model do you have? | 10:40 |

| Drikan | hi | 10:47 |
| lundh | this is really annoying. I get "no block devices found" when I try to install ubuntu | 10:47 |

| Gnea | Drikan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 10:49 |
| Gnea | !root | 10:49 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:49 |

| geirha | deus: gnome-settings-daemon I think. Try "ps -ef | grep gnome" | 11:26 |
| jondgls | Gnea: dont know anything about that stuff so I was looking for a good resource to read up and try to solve the problem | 11:26 |
| omeil | Hi all, im trying to install windows xp as dual boot but it keeps saying that it cannot write into the MBR because the file type is unknown (ext4). just wondering if there is a work around? | 11:26 |
| indus | !crap | 11:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about crap | 11:26 |
| Mechdave | syockit, try this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/164827/ | 11:26 |
| ikonia | omeil: the mbr does not contain a file system | 11:26 |
| geirha | deus: Old keyboard then? Or do you have a meta key instead? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | indus: please stop that | 11:26 |
| syockit | Mechdave: thank you | 11:26 |
| Mechdave | syockit, no worries | 11:27 |
| indus | ok | 11:27 |
| ikonia | omeil: what is complaining ? | 11:27 |
| syockit | Mechdave: oh, it's ext4.... | 11:27 |
| deus | geirha: i got the best keyboard in the world the old IBM ps2 keyboard | 11:27 |
| Mechdave | deus, I am not sure what you mean by daemon? | 11:27 |
| Mechdave | syockit, Oh oops, you wanted ext3 didn't you | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | deus: try: dpkg -l | grep hotkey | 11:27 |
| c0p3rn1c | is gnome-voice-control 0.3 easy to install on ubuntu 9.04 64bit? | 11:27 |
| Gnea | Drikan: did you install the standard ubuntu or something else like xubuntu/kubuntu? | 11:27 |
| syockit | Mechdave: do you get lock-ups? | 11:28 |
| omeil | ikonia: its saying that it can't install due to an incompatible file system E: <linux but i wasn't pointing at E: i was poitning at the NTFS partition, and it says that the MBR cannot be written due to that fact | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | deus: or dpkg -l | grep -i key | less | 11:28 |
| deus | you looking for hotkey-setup | 11:28 |
| Mechdave | syockit, I get a hard drive I/O error which stops the whole show :( But lockups as such no | 11:28 |
| ikonia | omeil: windows does not care about file systems, can you take a screen shot of this error | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | deus: try it | 11:28 |
| arkos | hi | 11:29 |
| Mechdave | syockit, Have you tried looking at /var/log/messages for clues on what could be doing it? | 11:29 |
| deus | its just a package its not a program | 11:29 |
| arkos | Anyone run the game flyff under wine? | 11:29 |
| deus | attleast i dont know the binary to it | 11:29 |
| syockit | Mechdave: hmm, you mean you don't get into situation where only the mouse pointer moves, but nothing else responds, forcing you to reboot? | 11:29 |
| ikonia | arkos: best bet is people in #wine-hq | 11:29 |
| arkos | ok thx | 11:30 |
| ikonia | arkos: #winehq - sorry | 11:30 |
| Gnea | jondgls: might have found the fix... checking | 11:30 |
| syockit | Mechdave: hmm, I haven't taken a look at the logs since Jaunty was released. will try again | 11:30 |
| Mechdave | syockit, yeah that has happened a couple of times, I do a ctrl + alt + f1 to console and see that I hace I/O errors on /dev/sda | 11:30 |
| Mechdave | *have* | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | deus: you could disable it from running as a daemon in your rc levels | 11:31 |
| omeil | ikonia: ill be back soon il take some photos with my camera | 11:31 |
| ikonia | omeil: super | 11:32 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Mechdave | syockit, But funnily enough it has only happened since I plugged in my 80Gig SATA drive | 11:32 |
| syockit | Mechdave: well, at least you get to ctrl+alt+f1... I can only alt+sysRq+b to reboot | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | syockit: doesnt sudo shutdown -r now work? | 11:33 |
| syockit | ActionParsnip: because I was on a xorg session (gnome), and can't change to tty, so I can't do that | 11:33 |
| Gnea | jondgls: found it: http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu | 11:33 |
| Mechdave | syockit, how often does it happen? is there anything that tends to trigger it (like opening programs etc)? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | syockit: strange | 11:33 |
| deus | in some instances i started up gnome-config-deamon and use gnome-control-panel | 11:34 |
| syockit | Mechdave: i say, firefox is the main culprit | 11:34 |
| deus | but i cant remeber it overode fluxbox regarding hotkeys | 11:34 |
| jondgls | Gnea: thanks i'll check it out! | 11:34 |
| deus | and i dont used gdm either only startx | 11:34 |
| Mechdave | syockit, I suggest cat /var/log/messages > messages.txt (so you can see the messages before they scroll past the window. It will create a file messages,txt) | 11:35 |
| deus | and gnome-settings-daemon is not running | 11:35 |
| deus | so that cant be the source | 11:36 |
| shaky | ciao | 11:36 |
| shaky | ciao a tutti | 11:37 |
| syockit | Mechdave: am viewing using vim for now. I'm going to play with the browser for a while to trigger a lockup, then reboot and diff. see you soon | 11:37 |

| marcel_ | i've formatted my usb drive filesystem as ext4, but its not mounted properly, i cannot write to it, how do i fix the permissions? | 11:38 |
| Mechdave | marcel_, how have you mounted it? | 11:39 |
| marcel_ | Mechdave, its automounted by xubuntu | 11:39 |
| Mechdave | marcel_, does it have an entry in /etc/fstab? | 11:40 |
| Radtoo | marcel_: can you even write to it as superuser / root? | 11:41 |
| marcel_ | Mechdave, no, its mounted as /media/disk | 11:41 |
| marcel_ | Mechdave, as root yes | 11:41 |
| === danopia` is now known as danopia | ||
| rumpel2 | try "sudo chown <username> /media/disk" | 11:41 |
| shaky | grazi | 11:41 |
| Radtoo | guess then its just a matter of giving correct permissions rather than filesystem checking it. | 11:41 |
| reid | does projectM still work? | 11:41 |
| marcel_ | rumpel2, thanks, that works | 11:41 |
| Mechdave | marcel_, so it is a permissions thing, you can mount it as rw but I am not sure how to do it with the xubuntu automounter | 11:42 |
| marcel_ | Mechdave, thanks for the help, works now after changing the ownership to myself | 11:42 |
| Radtoo | reid: the music visualizer thingie? | 11:42 |
| Mechdave | marcel_, no worries | 11:43 |
| reid | Radtoo: yessir | 11:43 |
| reid | Radtoo: I'm trying to figure out if there is really a stable package for it or if I have to do some svn guesswork | 11:43 |
| Radtoo | reid: dunno how to rate "really stable" but there is a package for it... libvisual-projectm, no? | 11:46 |
| === Chr|s_ is now known as Chr|s | ||
| Radtoo | reid: or libprojectm2 for version 2 of projectm, I guess. | 11:47 |

| achilles | hello all, I have two ISP routers, is it possible to install a linux box to provide redundancy if any of the routers failed the another take the place ? | 11:47 |
| Drikan | oh Gnea: sorry was editing my xorg.conf didnt see you type me somthing no standard ubuntu | 11:47 |
| rumpel2 | achilles, anything ist possible :) | 11:48 |
| azlon | when i run "e2fsck -f /media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw" in terminal it returns "/media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw: 29928/64000 files (2.9% non-contiguous), 244581/256000 blocks". then when i run "resize2fs /media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw" it says "Please run 'e2fsck -f /media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw' first." what should i do? | 11:48 |
| ijijij | hi im using 8.04 and i want to update network manager for latest for mobile broad support is there anyway to do that | 11:48 |
| strixv | Hey guys I just had a really weird problem, trying to figure out what could cause it: I suspended, woke the machine back up, wireless wouldn't connect, rebooted, now all Ubuntu desktop settings (panels, compiz, etc) are reset to defaults! wtf? | 11:48 |
| strixv | (Ubuntu 9.04) | 11:48 |
| MementoMori | hi | 11:48 |
| achilles | rumpel2, :) | 11:49 |
| achilles | details ? | 11:49 |
| Radtoo | reid: Yes, seems like it's a small "spare time" project... | 11:49 |
| rumpel2 | achilles, well... you can put script on both router, which adapts the route, if on of them is not responding for pings... | 11:49 |
| MementoMori | My natural language is Italian but i've installed jaunty in English. How can I change the system date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy ? | 11:49 |
| deus | Also, when i used ctrl+alt+f8 and the like | 11:50 |
| syockit | strixv: wireless wouldn't connect sounds like a known bug, but desktop settings reset?!?! | 11:50 |
| deus | I CANT GET TO A COMMANDLINE | 11:50 |
| rumpel2 | something like that... perhaps, there are more conveniant solutions out there | 11:50 |
| marcel_ | what filesystem should i use if i want encryption? | 11:50 |
| Radtoo | reid: If you want more updates, I guess you'd have to make them yourself. ;) | 11:50 |
| achilles | rumpel2, it seems like heartbeat .. but it's not what I'm looking for | 11:50 |
| fosco_ | deus: ctrl+alt+f1 | 11:50 |
| deus | i enabled killx but when i used it all i get is a striped screen | 11:50 |
| deus | fosco_: nothing | 11:51 |
| ozzer | hi i just installed xubuntu on my pc and want to mount the windows partition to get at my files on there, how do i do this. i could mount the hard drive running the live cd but now i've installed it can't seem to get at the other partition. | 11:51 |
| achilles | rumpel2, sometimes fail comes from the ISP | 11:51 |
| Drikan | gnea: check PM | 11:51 |
| deus | fosco_: the blinking - is there but i cant relay any input | 11:51 |
| peterloorke | hi, i can't make crontab work any suggestion? | 11:51 |
| strixv | syockit: Yeah exactly, desktop settings all reset like I deleted some /home/user/.gnome stuff | 11:51 |
| fosco_ | deus: it happens sometimes when having problems with framebuffer in console | 11:51 |
| === roy__ is now known as AMOR | ||
| reid | ozzer: honestly the easiest way to have done this would have been during the install. You can mount the existing partition at /windows, and tell ubuntu not to format it | 11:52 |
| Drikan | Gnea: brb restaring | 11:52 |
| strixv | syockit: Also, my nautilus bookmarks list has disappeared. When I drag something into it, it sits there for .5 seconds and then disappears too | 11:52 |
| fosco_ | deus: use startupmanager and try a lower init resolution | 11:52 |
| syockit | strixv: but you're still logged in? on were you logged out when you resumed? | 11:52 |
| deus | fosco_: what startupmanager? | 11:52 |
| MrSunshine | ive changed a file in modprobe.d folder, how do i regenerate the needed files for booting ? | 11:53 |
| strixv | syockit: Yeah I'm still logged in. I restarted a few times, logged in, same user, only 1 user on the system anyway | 11:53 |
| ozzer | reid: is there another way short of reinstalling it | 11:53 |
| strixv | I still have all my /home/user files | 11:53 |
| fosco_ | deus: sudo aptitude install startupmanager && sudo startupmanager | 11:53 |
| deus | wait, what does the init resolution have anything to do with that? | 11:54 |
| Radtoo | ozzer: how can't you get at the other partition? on the ocmmand line? | 11:54 |
| syockit | strixv: yeah, but what about .gnome or .local files? I'm suspecting either they're corrupted, or loaded read only, or something else I can't think of | 11:54 |
| reenignEesreveR | how do i make sure that logrotate is working? | 11:54 |
| strixv | syockit: Yeah it seems like it's gotta be something like that. Weird behavior all over the board. For example, the google search box in Firefox just stopped working. Can type in it, but pressing enter does nothing. | 11:54 |
| reid | ozzer: You could edit fstab, but if you are very new to linux this is a bit scary and might take you just as long as just reinstalling o.O | 11:55 |
| reid | ozzer: actually, you might be able to do it with gparted or some other GUI thing nowadays.. | 11:55 |
| strixv | syockit: Is there a way to do a scan for hard disk corruption in Ubuntu? | 11:55 |
| Radtoo | strixv: sure, multiple. | 11:55 |
| Radtoo | strixv: I personally like using smartctl -t long on the command line | 11:56 |
| strixv | ok | 11:56 |
| reenignEesreveR | I've installed ubuntu 8.04 server. I'm not sure if logrotation.d is getting invoked. How do I ensure that? I can't find any cronjob anywhere installed for it | 11:56 |
| strixv | Radtoo: when I install that it tries to set up some Postfix stuff | 11:57 |

| Radtoo | strixv: what? - - | 11:57 |
| blankthemuffin | http://pb.luahelp.com/883 why is it so? | 11:57 |
| strixv | Radtoo: It has some mail options. Do you have a suggestion for a graphical one as well that doesn't involve log files? I've spent forever poring over the system logs trying to figure it out already | 11:58 |
| Gnea | Drikan: you should get a different ubuntu derivative - your system is too slow for standard ubuntu | 11:58 |
| Drikan | Gnea: well every thing works just the pesky video issue | 11:59 |
| Radtoo | strixv: No. I don't use any mail options, but I also don't use any graphical things when I just need information. :) | 11:59 |
| deus | fosco_: this cant be the problem, the bootloader menu can be seen plainly, and i uninstall gdm so i go directly into terminal and that works fine at first before i start x | 11:59 |
| fosco_ | ok | 11:59 |
| Gnea | Drikan: have you used older ubuntu versions on it? | 11:59 |

| * Gnea doesn't waste his time playing WoW, so not sure ;) | 12:04 | |

| Gnea | Boohbah: indeed. the battle for wesnoth is a much cheaper time waster. | 12:05 |
| peterloorke | Boohbah: i restarted cron and it did non work, again. | 12:05 |
| Radtoo | strixv: As it runs on the device, no other "locations" are necessary. It will test it thoroughly (without command line output) due to you using the "long" routine, and log the result(s) to the drive. Which logs you can get at with smartctl -a. Does that explain things? | 12:06 |
| ozzer | reid: where is fstab and what would need editing? | 12:06 |
| Prabz | Hi, ever since I upgraded to jaunty, I've been facing a problem with playing videos in vlc. The video no longer runs within the main window, rather, it runs in a separate window called "XVideo output" | 12:06 |
| Prabz | How to correct it? | 12:06 |
| drkimble | best thing about Linux is you know nowt is spying on you in some closed program, then again if you have google earth running you never know whats going on I suppose | 12:06 |
| Gnea | alright, I'm trying to make a key using gpg --gen-key, but when it asks for more entropy, it never catches up - how can I correct this? | 12:06 |
| * Kovensky would encourage to not use VLC but that isn't the point | 12:07 | |
| strixv | Radtoo: Yep I've got a list here of some errors and stuff recorded by SMART | 12:07 |
| strixv | How can I schedule a disk check for the next time I restart Ubuntu? | 12:07 |
| Kovensky | Gnea: keep mashing your keyboard? | 12:07 |
| Radtoo | strixv: that's entirely not the same :) | 12:07 |
| Gnea | Kovensky: did that for a few minutes straight. nada | 12:07 |
| mib_aguhdw | http://kr0y.mybrute.com/ | 12:07 |
| Prabz | Kovensky, what else to use, if not vlc? | 12:07 |
| rdw200169 | Is there a good place to find information on reducing firefox's idle CPU usage? I regularly have b/w 15 - 20% idle CPU usage, even when the window is minimized... ? | 12:07 |
| Radtoo | strixv: its good that you got logs but the type of check you think of from the windows world is not mainly a hardware check, but a data check | 12:07 |
| Kovensky | I use mplayer | 12:07 |
| strixv | Radtoo: That's ok, I'd like to let it run through the check that I always skip ;) | 12:08 |
| djiezes | Prabz: i think you can change that setting in vlc options. | 12:08 |
| Gnea | Prabz: just change the video output plugin in the preferences | 12:08 |
| strixv | Radtoo: And I don't understand a word in the logs | 12:08 |
| Gnea | Prabz: make it like opengl or x11 | 12:08 |
| Kovensky | anyway, any idea what might have caused https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/174175 to hit me on jaunty? :/ | 12:08 |
| Radtoo | strixv: The data checks on ubuntu run as needed (like they do in newer versions of XP). You could run one manually with the filesystem utilities but I don't think you "schedule" them any time. | 12:08 |
| Kovensky | firefox worked perfectly for me while I was using the alphas, borked after I upgraded to the final :/ | 12:08 |
| Kovensky | tried downgrading already, nothing | 12:09 |

| demon_ | Kovensky, i want to make another one :) | 12:09 |
| Radtoo | strixv: Sorry, meant to say windows XP and newer. And well, you don't need to understand much more in the logs than that the drive's hardware is broken in some parts, perhaps? | 12:09 |
| Gnea | demon_: then make it on sda | 12:10 |
| rdw200169 | demon_, you can use something like gparted to do that. keep in mind that you can't be using that particular partition at the time you *resize* it. | 12:10 |
| demon_ | Gnea, i dont have sda just sda 1.2 and 5 | 12:10 |
| DaveWM | you can partiion it into directories... | 12:10 |
| strixv | Radtoo: Okay I'd like to run one manually with the filesystem utilities... but I haven't found it in the menus | 12:10 |
| DaveWM | heh | 12:10 |
| Radtoo | strixv: Usually the suggestion is to return the drive when it has errors other than reads that took too long or something, as that indicates actual seriosu damge to hardware. | 12:10 |
| demon_ | live cd ??? i can do with that can i | 12:10 |
| Gnea | demon_: sda is the whole disk, 1, 2 and 5 are partitions. again, you can only partition the whole disk, not partitions (unless it's extended) | 12:11 |
| strixv | Radtoo: And I'll just do that after I let it finish this 88 minute smart test ;) | 12:11 |
| Gnea | !partitions | demon_ | 12:11 |
| ubottu | demon_: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 12:11 |
| Prabz | djiezes, Gnea , I've tried resetting all preferences, made it opengl, X11, whatever I do, it just changes the title of the separate window | 12:11 |
| rdw200169 | demon_, so, for example, if your entire hard drive is one big partition (sda1), you would resize sda1 to a smaller size, then create a new one in the empty space. | 12:11 |
| Radtoo | strixv: Its all command line... what type of a filesystem do you have? (can check with "mount") | 12:11 |
| demon_ | rdw200169, i cant resize my sda1 dunno why | 12:11 |
| rdw200169 | demon_, yes, the ubuntu live cd has gparted, which consequentially works better than the installer's partition tools | 12:11 |
| strixv | Radtoo: An ext1 filesystem on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 | 12:12 |
| rdw200169 | demon_, what did you use to to do that? what type of partition is it? | 12:12 |
| === ubuntu is now known as a8lia | ||
| demon_ | rdw200169, my sda1 is locked | 12:12 |
| demon_ | ext3 | 12:12 |
| Gnea | demon_: you can't do anything while it's mounted, that's why you need the livecd | 12:12 |
| snitko | anyone knows why in 9.04 the terminal window autoresizes when I run Vim in it and how to disable it? | 12:12 |
| traumgeist | lol | 12:12 |
| peterloorke | Boohbah: i restarted cron and it did non work, again. Also when i'm trying to log cron with this append or whatever thing ( > ) it don't works too | 12:12 |
| demon_ | Gnea, yeap thanks lemme find a live cd :) | 12:12 |
| c_nick | any community for C Begineers | 12:13 |
| drkimble | demon_: try sysrescue cd its great for partition stuff http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page | 12:13 |
| Gnea | c_nick: #programming or #c | 12:13 |
| demon_ | thanks | 12:13 |
| demon_ | lemme reboot | 12:13 |
| demon_ | cheers | 12:13 |
| djiezes | Prabz: somewhere on the first page of preferences, there's an option to 'integrate video in interface'. maybe that's what you're looking for. | 12:13 |
| Radtoo | strixv: with that one you actually could cause it to fsck on reboot... tune2fs -c 1 /dev/hdaX | 12:14 |
| Prabz | djiezes, toggling that option doesn't make a difference | 12:14 |

| rdw200169 | c_nick, there are also many many websites that help you learn C, particularly on linux, where things are free, regardless, for the best experience, it is highly recommended that you pick up the #1 reference for C, K&R: "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. | 12:14 |
| Radtoo | strixv: note that I copy / pasted this one. Its more likely that you got /dev/sdaX or something. And the "1" means check on every boot... it will happen until you change it back | 12:15 |
| JessicaParker | hi can anyone assist with dual screen ? have got it working somehow but not sure how to switch between primary and secondary ? | 12:15 |
| JessicaParker | i have an intel video card | 12:15 |
| strixv | Radtoo: ok great thanks a lot for that command! | 12:15 |
| Radtoo | strixv: (normal is more like 20 or something, not 1) | 12:15 |
| rdw200169 | JessicaParker, darn! I know a lot about doing it with Nvidia, but not intel :( | 12:15 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: did you put the same desktop across both or 2 different desktop on both? | 12:15 |
| djiezes | Prabz: the option to put video & controls in 1 window should be somewhere there in preferences. also check skinning options. | 12:16 |
| JessicaParker | 2 different desktops | 12:16 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: that leads me to believe that there are 2 separate X servers running - would that be correct? | 12:16 |
| c_nick | rdw200169: ohh ok i wanted to help someone with their Basic C difficulties... thats all the sharpen my skills | 12:16 |
| Drikan | Gnea: OK well im chatting with you on Ubuntu now and the only thing wrong is this video issue. editing the xorg.conf file didnt seem to do any thing and even in the file is states that its pretty mutch useless. 1 why is it useless and 2 how do i set the pramiters manualy or reconfigure X11 to use the file again? | 12:16 |
| c_nick | i was reading K&R but then got a bit bored reading it | 12:17 |
| JessicaParker | not sure I used system>preferences>screen resolution | 12:17 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: also, what do you mean by 'switch', exactly? | 12:17 |
| jhattara | join #ubuntu-fi | 12:17 |
| JessicaParker | i will get a screen print | 12:17 |
| Radtoo | strixv: no problem. :) | 12:17 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, smart man ;) if you're just looking for a good quick reference, there's a package for ubuntu that sort-of offers that | 12:17 |
| c_nick | ohh where ? | 12:18 |
| strixv | Radtoo: This is really weird, I can't log into gmail, I can't do advanced google searches, all my preferences for everything seem to have disappeared | 12:18 |
| strixv | Radtoo: But I can log into facebook and do regular googles | 12:18 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, i think its c++-annotations | 12:18 |
| Gnea | Drikan: you know, that whole bit has become a bit of a mystery that i haven't bothered to figure out yet... usually, i just make minor edits to xorg.conf where needed and restart it anyway | 12:18 |
| Radtoo | strixv: Agreed, it is weird. | 12:18 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, it also has some stuff on basic C syntax, also | 12:18 |
| c_nick | how should i get a hold on that | 12:18 |
| strixv | Radtoo: And all of my bookmarks in FF have disappeared. I suspect it has something to do with an FF addon or with upgrading FF | 12:18 |
| jimi_hendrix | i followed the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver but now ubuntu just runs in low graphics mode | 12:19 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, being that its a normal ubuntu package, just $ sudo apt-get install c++-annotations | 12:19 |
| Radtoo | strixv: There's some chance something in your user directory (or browser settings) or browser itself is broken. | 12:19 |
| strixv | Radtoo: But my bookmarks have only disappeared from the bookmarks list, when I type into the URL bar they still show up when they match what I'm typing. Fuckin strange | 12:19 |
| ozzer | i'm sorted, managed to mount at cmd line from instructions on ubuntu help :) | 12:20 |
| c_nick | rdw200169: how to get it | 12:20 |
| Drikan | humm | 12:20 |
| Radtoo | strixv: ah, but these are a bit different in firefox. They also come from the url history and such. I recall your bookmarks should be in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarks.html or bookmarks.bat | 12:20 |
| JessicaParker | Gnea: i have a 19inch and a laptop - the screen print does not capture it properly but it works............. | 12:20 |
| Radtoo | strixv: where *.default is a profile folder with some odd name. might be called anything, actually ;) | 12:21 |
| amar | sound disappeared during 9.04 RC and after some tweaks with driver selection..came back... but still not with Video Players or Amarok... | 12:21 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: url? | 12:21 |
| strixv | Radtoo: yeah I know they come from history etc but these are definitely bookmarks, they have the gold star icon on the right | 12:21 |
| JessicaParker | Gnea: http://imagebin.ca/view/YQAeT5DB.html | 12:21 |
| Radtoo | strixv: It may help to recover the bookmarks, but I have no clue at all what might have broken your browser and such... :) | 12:21 |
| strixv | Radtoo: And when I go to "organize bookmarks" firefox crashes | 12:21 |
| deus | Are there any ubuntu help channel for more advanced users | 12:22 |
| compubomb | when i upgraded to ubuntu 9.04 my grub no longer shows when a menu item is being selected, so i have to just figure if i move all the way up enough times i'll get linux, all the way down enough times i get windows. | 12:22 |
| deus | this clearly isnt working | 12:22 |
| Radtoo | strixv: Oh, okay. Well, you at least know what to backup for the bookmarks now if you choose to erase the settins directory for firefox eventually. :) | 12:22 |
| compubomb | doesn't show an active highlighted entry. | 12:22 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, wait, i'm sorry, this was the package: c-cpp-reference | 12:22 |
| indus | amar: what is the problem | 12:22 |
| strixv | Radtoo: Yep, thanks ;) | 12:22 |
| JessicaParker | Gnea: i need the one on the right to be primary (that is my laptop) | 12:22 |
| strixv | Radtoo: Okay I'm gonna restart and see what a disk check comes up with | 12:22 |
| strixv | Radtoo: Thanks for all your help! | 12:22 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, so, if you get that from synaptic or apt-get, you can read the documentation starting at | 12:22 |
| Radtoo | strixv: its gonna interrupt smart tho ;) | 12:22 |
| c_nick | ohh ok | 12:23 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, by copying this into the firefox URL bar: file:///usr/share/doc/c-cpp-reference/html/C/c.html | 12:23 |

| mib_c8pp57 | nokia n73 users out there? | 12:26 |
| rdw200169 | c_nick, also, for future reference, there is an application called 'dhelp' which makes browsing and using documentation in a debian environment a little easier. this particular application keeps track of a directory called /usr/share/doc/HTML which acts like a one stop place to go for various, mostly programming, resources | 12:26 |
| Mechdave | indus, didn't work :( | 12:26 |
| advance | deus: Changing desktops is a compix thing. What you want to do is go under system > preferences > compiz settings manager | 12:26 |
| deus | but that wasnt my question either, what daemon picks up the hotkeys and run the appropriate program | 12:27 |
| deus | advance: i dont run compiz | 12:27 |
| indus | Mechdave: tell me where exactly is it askking for password | 12:27 |
| advance | deus: wait.. | 12:27 |
| Jockeo | djiezes: It was in the page options, thanks! | 12:27 |

| deus | rdw200169: well yes it works, it brings up the "run program" bar | 12:29 |
| Jockeo | djiezes: I had looked in several places, in "Tools" -> "Options", in the printing dialog and googled a little but couldn't find it. I had totally missed the fact that there is a page options form. | 12:29 |
| deus | rdw200169: thing is, I DONT USE GNOME i use fluxbox | 12:29 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: did you do any manual editting or xorg.conf or was it all guified? | 12:29 |
| Gnea | Drikan: it's usually at the top of /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:29 |

| JessicaParker | Gnea: no manual edit whatsoever | 12:30 |

| rdw200169 | deus, meh, i don't know, since i've installed 9.04 Alt+f2 functionality disappeared. it would be unfair, though, to discuss it further b/c its probably something stupid, and related to the fact that i've had the same /home since 7.10 | 12:31 |
| indus | amar: yes everything except audio capture | 12:31 |
| rdw200169 | deus, that and i've put exactly 0% effort into finding the problem ;) | 12:31 |
| dimebar | deus: sorry what's your problem with fluxbox? | 12:32 |
| amar | indus: ok ..but what in Mixer? | 12:32 |
| deus | dimebar: fluxbox uses gnomes hotkey settings | 12:32 |
| indus | amar: alsamixer | 12:32 |
| amar | indus: ok | 12:32 |
| indus | amar: i mean the first option must be that | 12:32 |

| mater | my box got rooted and is totally infected | 12:35 |
| Radtoo | mater: You mean your boot sector also got overwritten? | 12:35 |
| mater | everything is blocked by firewall i wrote, but still i need to recover somehoe | 12:35 |
| mater | well, this virus has root priviledges | 12:35 |
| Radtoo | mater: it's ... in ubuntu as well? | 12:36 |
| indus | mater: cool | 12:36 |
| mater | i don't think it is in ubuntu | 12:36 |
| indus | mater: maybe reinstall grub? | 12:36 |
| Radtoo | mater: okay, so its a windows virus that just did it's best to annoy without destroying random data on the hdd. | 12:36 |
| mater | the question i have is this: i want to boot from ubuntu, unfortunately i never used ubuntu b4, i used redhat, so i donnow what to do for me to be able to boot in ubuntu now | 12:37 |
| Radtoo | mater: In that case, reinstall grub, and you might need to run fixmbr using a windows cd as well (or wipe/reinstall windows). | 12:37 |
| indus | mater: Do Not reinstall windows on top of ubuntu , system wont boot | 12:37 |
| advance | indus: LIES | 12:37 |
| indus | but you can fix mbr with other tools i hear | 12:38 |
| Radtoo | mater: ehm... you mean its not installed yet? | 12:38 |
| mater | Radtoo, correct. it did not actually destoy anything yet, it is basically an open proxy to some funky operation of enlarge your peanus type | 12:38 |
| indus | advance: its true ,windows overwrites the mbr | 12:38 |
| Radtoo | mater: annoying enough but yes then you can be almost certain it wasn't doing anything at all to any linux which was installed. | 12:38 |
| indus | advance:there are tools to recover but i dont want to discuss it here | 12:39 |
| advance | indus: But all you have to do is take a live cd and copy your grub record then transfer it over to another bootloader and you can actualy use the Vista/Longhorn bootloader. | 12:39 |
| mater | Radtoo, ubuntu is installed but i installed winxp sp3 and never booted ubuntu after that | 12:39 |
| martinom | advance: Yeah, pretty easy actually. | 12:39 |
| advance | indus: Yeah I was about to say You need to tell that to my computer because she works really good | 12:39 |
| advance | martinom: Yeah it was really easy | 12:39 |
| indus | advance: yes but the fact is me and most users dont get it | 12:39 |
| Radtoo | mater: okay. that makes it clear. well, you might actually want to just install a newer version of ubuntu now if one came out in the meantime ;) | 12:39 |
| djiezes | mater: you just need to reinstall grub, in order to be able to boot ubuntu. | 12:40 |
| martinom | advance: I've done it a few times by mistake :p | 12:40 |
| indus | advance: bootloader scares me | 12:40 |
| Radtoo | mater: But failing that, just boot the old ubuntu cd and do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 | 12:40 |
| mater | indus, well, if you can help me out, join #rootkit. we can talk there, the same thing for anybody else | 12:40 |
| advance | djiezes: no you don't | 12:40 |
| martinom | advance: grub-install writes to mbr. | 12:40 |
| indus | mater: i can help you with grub here itself | 12:40 |
| djiezes | why not? ubuntu is still on his system. | 12:40 |
| indus | its easy | 12:40 |

| * Gnea looks oddly at advance | 12:41 | |
| indus | mater: use a live cd and boot into ubuntu first then you can repair grub | 12:41 |
| martinom | Mhm. | 12:41 |
| indus | advance: iam i correct? | 12:41 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: have you tried xrandr? | 12:42 |
| mater | Radtoo, i tried to boot from old ubuntu, but my primary loader is bad | 12:42 |
| djiezes | indus: yea, but don't trust me, i'm out of control app ;-) | 12:42 |
| Radtoo | mater: using the cd is the imperative here | 12:42 |
| martinom | All you have to do is run 'grub-install' i guess. Which actually does not 'install' grub all over again, it just writes to mbr. | 12:42 |
| JessicaParker | Gnea: no i thought with the auto detection there would be something that i could use | 12:43 |
| Radtoo | mater: you'll have to boot off the cd to fix the loader. | 12:43 |
| advance | indus: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm | 12:43 |
| advance | indus: That is probobly the easyest thing I have ever done on linux | 12:43 |
| JessicaParker | Gnea: i was reluctant to do anything else mainly as it seems to all work as i need it to | 12:43 |

| martinom | advance: Seems as if though the screen is 'zoomed'. | 12:44 |
| mater | Radtoo, i am trying to boot from ubuntu cd and thought i could do a reinstall, but it wants to repartition my drives, or else quit | 12:44 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: the problem with gnome and autodetection is that it, often times, does just the bare minimum. the GUI itself provides just enough to get the job done - and that's a good thing. but, you're talking about altering things, which is beyond the scope of the basic GUI design of ubuntu. it really depends on how badly you want to switch the screens, but it's going to require going to the level of commandline and using xrandr to tweak the settings and | 12:45 |
| martinom | If you know what I mean. | 12:45 |
| indus | advance: i did repair grub once but it was scary | 12:45 |
| sacarlson | martinom: you sure it's not your monitor settings that need to be changed | 12:45 |
| indus | easy but scary | 12:45 |
| peppot | q | 12:45 |
| mater | Radtoo, can we talk about this on #rootkit, cause it too much traffic here | 12:45 |
| martinom | sacarlson: When I move xorg.conf somewhere and use vesa, it works. | 12:45 |
| Radtoo | mater: you can do a reinstall? just tell it to use the old partitions you had. | 12:45 |
| Gnea | and i have no idea if that got cut off or not | 12:45 |
| rdw200169 | you don't need to reboot to fix the mbr, or anything like that. the trick, is to know what device you want to put it on. for example, when you run the live cd, the HDD is given a name which may not not be the same as the one it is during the normal boot. things get tricky here, but not too bad. | 12:45 |
| martinom | But without the nvidia driver of course. | 12:45 |
| JessicaParker | Gnea: any ideas on if i can just amend the xorg file or is it not as simple as that ? | 12:45 |
| martinom | Basically uses default settings. | 12:45 |
| advance | indus: How is booting on a linux live cd then figuring out what partition your harddrive is on thn typing install hd(0.0) | 12:45 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: amend or append? | 12:45 |
| martinom | Tried to play around with nvidia-settings with no results. | 12:45 |
| advance | martinom: do you have a scroll wheel? | 12:46 |
| rdw200169 | so, for example, if your regular hdd is called /dev/sda in the live cd, you would run $ grub-install /dev/sda | 12:46 |

| martinom | advance: I've tried actually 'zooming' yeah. :) | 12:46 |
| mater | Radtoo, i don't see a choice to use old partitions during ubuntu reinstall, or rather fresh install | 12:46 |
| martinom | It's more of a resolution problem. | 12:46 |
| advance | martinom: Hey you never know lol. | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | martinom: oh nvidia I have similar problem with nvidia I just us nv for now | 12:46 |
| advance | rdw200169: Nah no you wouldn't | 12:46 |
| Mechdave | indus, Problem solved, just a APIC error... rebooted now fine thx | 12:46 |
| martinom | sacarlson: Problem is that I'm developing with CUDA... | 12:46 |
| rdw200169 | or, on the other hand, if its /dev/sdb or /dev/hda or whatever, the $ grub-install still works. the key is that you can use /dev/ names instead of the name from the device map, which makes things quite a bit easier in the long run | 12:46 |
| Radtoo | mater: It has no "free" space to work with at the moment but if you tell it to use the existing ubuntu partitiosn all wil be fine. As for #rootkit, sorry, no. I also don't know everything or make no mistakes, its good if other people think along :) | 12:46 |
| martinom | I need the driver to work :) | 12:46 |
| JessicaParker | Gnea: any / either - amend would be better as then i know the setting is there............i had one really bad experience with these files and had to do a reinstall as i could not recover the copy properly so painful hence the reluctance | 12:46 |
| TheZanke | just took my lappy completely appart... cleaned every chip with isopropyl alcohol, air dusted (with an air compressor) the whole thing... re-thermal pasted it all with articsilver-5 and put it all back together perfectly.... still tons of errors in memtest86+... guess it really is my ram. :'( | 12:47 |
| indus | Mechdave: cool | 12:47 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: if you mean, by amend, to edit and save settings to the current xorg.conf file, then yes, that is possible. i've done it for years, when necessary (used to be necessary ALL the time, back when it wasn't so fancy ;) ), and it can still be done - the nice thing, today, is that if you goof it up, you can still revert with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 12:47 |
| martinom | Of course, I'm able to do stuff with my screen looking the way it does now... But it's f***ing irritating. | 12:47 |
| indus | Mechdave: can you share how you got it solved | 12:47 |
| Gnea | JessicaParker: understood | 12:47 |
| sacarlson | martinom: well did you try nvidia.com latest driver release NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.04-pkg2.run | 12:47 |
| mater | if anybody can help me out on rootkit problem and reinstalling ubuntu, please join #rootkit. there is too much traffic here, i can't follow it | 12:47 |

| Radtoo | mater: You can. "Manually edit partition table" at worst | 12:48 |
| martinom | sacarlson: Hmm... I guess I'm currently running 180 or something. | 12:48 |
| martinom | Wouldn't hurt to try. | 12:48 |

| Blinkiz | Hi there. I need to mount a logical volume on my host system. The logical volume contains multiply partition so its not that easy as just doing "mount". Can someone help me with this? If I remember correctly, its something with loop. | 12:48 |

| martinom | sacarlson: Mhm. | 12:49 |
| oxbow | erf | 12:49 |

| Gnea | JessicaParker: the best way to learn, is to first make a backup of your important data - hopefully you have done that already, but if you're nervous about screwing your whole system up, I would highly recommend getting the important things taken care of first. | 12:50 |

| sacarlson | Ubuntus: what proxy server did you install? | 12:56 |
| Ubuntus | yes... | 12:56 |

| dostoyevsky | I was thinking of maybe doing the wlan connect in a shell script instead of using gnome... | 12:59 |
| sacarlson | Ubuntus: you mean restrict access with password or? | 12:59 |
| Radtoo | dostoyevsky: hm. hard to say if something went wrong or if it's not really managed the way we think either way. :) | 13:00 |
| nnull | iBoar, public exit nodes are kinda useless for alot of things like http, 3 lines of php can detect if your coming out through a public listed node | 13:00 |

| Radtoo | iBoar: These are fairly high-volume transfers and you'll find it's a pain to use tor for these either way, if its not outright blocked by the other end | 13:01 |
| Ubuntus | No. its just to control the internet access and define the blocked content | 13:01 |
| dostoyevsky | But if I knew where gnome stores the passwords (the file) then maybe I could delete it... | 13:01 |

| rdw200169 | susscorfa, does it open gedit from the command line? | 13:03 |
| c0p3rn1c | susscorfa: just right click and choose open with, and make sure after you select your app from the list that you check use costum command | 13:03 |
| Blinkiz | indus, Hi to you too | 13:03 |
| nnull | yea open with ftw | 13:03 |
| rdw200169 | susscorfa, b/c you can use update-alternatives to set the default editor for the command line, using: $ update-alternatives editor | 13:04 |
| susscorfa | c0p3rn1c: means i have to set it for every extention seperatly | 13:04 |

| c0p3rn1c | susscorfa: I don't know how to script it sorry | 13:04 |

| hittt | there are very rare linux file recovery | 13:12 |
| rdw200169 | Ubuntus, have you tested your router/proxy/switch *without* squid running? | 13:12 |
| pronoy_ | gharz: nopew | 13:12 |
| gharz | nopew? tha's the command? | 13:12 |
| drkimble | actually why these top software dont do linux releases as well baffles me, would not cut into profits at all | 13:12 |
| hittt | and even if there are, journaled fs kills it | 13:13 |
| pirolocito | Guest34988, run top | 13:13 |
| pronoy_ | gharz: thats the answer NOPE | 13:13 |
| gharz | ahhh | 13:13 |
| gharz | oh my god | 13:13 |
| rdw200169 | Ubuntus, in order to control access you don't *have* to use a proxy. there are other options, like coova-chilli | 13:13 |
| gharz | thanks! | 13:13 |
| hittt | np | 13:13 |
| Guest34988 | top doesn't tell me this information | 13:13 |
| Boohbah | drkimble: because it takes valuable developers | 13:13 |
| pronoy_ | gharz: u see unix platform has the best security ...rm -r is the command which leaves no traces | 13:13 |
| rdw200169 | Ubuntus, consequentially, using something like that also gives you similar options like bandwidth/volume control etc... but its not easy. well, i guess you could say, its just as difficult | 13:13 |
| indus | gharz: its possible but in theory | 13:14 |
| hittt | well | 13:14 |
| hittt | shred isfor security :P | 13:14 |
| drkimble | Boohbah: but they make loads, code is there, all they have to do is port I guess | 13:14 |
| Radtoo | dostoyevsky: yes, guess it's stored elsewhere then but I don't know where, sorry. :/ | 13:14 |
| dostoyevsky | How do I connect to a wlan in the unix shell, what's the program called? I think it was something like ifwconfig or so... | 13:15 |
| Boohbah | drkimble: which is not always as simple as it sounds | 13:15 |
| hittt | iwconfig? | 13:15 |
| hittt | ifconfig? | 13:15 |
| drkimble | Boohbah: the real reason is they just do not want people to use Linux par se | 13:15 |
| drkimble | I reckons anyways | 13:15 |
| Ubuntus | i am accessing the internet on server, even with squid intalled, but when i try to connect some pc on the eth0, the connection fails | 13:15 |
| rdw200169 | Ubuntus, i consider chilli + firewall to be %1000 times more secure than something more fallible like squid... chilli uses standardized access control mechanisms in order to control access, and is very popular in the linux-router world... | 13:16 |
| rdw200169 | Ubuntus, have you made sure that forwarding is enabled? | 13:16 |
| AdvoWork | anyone here know what logs to look in for all emails coming in from a certain sender email? | 13:16 |

| indus | gharz: http://adminlinux.blogspot.com/2006/09/recover-from-rm.html | 13:16 |
| dostoyevsky | Yeah, iwconfig it seems to be... Yeah, will try to do this in a shell script... Maybe I find a nice description how I can do all the things that gnome usually does from the shell | 13:16 |
| drkimble | Borg, resistance is futile and all that | 13:16 |
| pronoy_ | indus: does this really work | 13:17 |
| advance | Hey how do I get an X11 ID? | 13:17 |
| rdw200169 | Ubuntus, ensure that this file has a 1 in it: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 13:17 |
| pronoy_ | indus: because it defies all what i have read and seen up till now | 13:17 |
| advance | For some window? | 13:17 |
| hittt | dostoyevsky, gnome does less than a shell | 13:17 |
| indus | pronoy_: well this world is full of surprises | 13:17 |
| pronoy_ | indus: yeah you just did scream SURPRISE at my face ..... :D | 13:18 |
| Radtoo | dostoyevsky: I can explain the used technologies to some extent. iwconfig for setting the essid or WEP, but WPA/WPA2 is usually done using wpa_supplicant. | 13:18 |
| rdw200169 | Ubuntus, I'm assuming of course that your networking configuration and all that are appropriate | 13:18 |
| indus | pronoy_: the fact is>> unless new data writes to that portion of hard drive, it isnt really deleted | 13:18 |

| indus | pronoy_: its somethin to do with the way a hard drive stores data in nodes | 13:19 |
| Boohbah | AdvoWork: grep text /var/log/* | 13:19 |

| hittt | what is the difference between "su" and "su -" ??? | 13:20 |
| Radtoo | dostoyevsky: Should make it a bit easier to understand any howto / tutorial you might stumble upon now, as this is a bit non-obivous a thing. also, running iwconfig, wpa_supplicant and then dhcpcd from the command line (provided correct configuration for wpa_supplicant is present) already usually does the job for the simple scenarios. | 13:20 |
| Boohbah | hittt: the minus reads the profile | 13:20 |

| pronoy_ | indus: sure thing .....thanks | 13:20 |

| dostoyevsky | Radtoo: According to my route I am using WPA-PSK, so wpa_supplicant might be what I need to use | 13:20 |

| cybersplice | indus: Yes, sudo -s is the same as sudo su. If you really want to set a password on the root account, you can do so with passwd. You'll find, however, that neither canonical or #ubuntu will support that. It's not really needed for most things. | 13:27 |
| illsci | how do you change the default python version on ubuntu? | 13:27 |

| cybersplice | indus: you need to set a root password before you can use it. | 13:28 |
| cybersplice | indus: Exactly. | 13:28 |
| indus | cybersplice: can you tell me that root pasword step again | 13:29 |

| ubottu | gobuntu is a freedom-focused flavour of Ubuntu intended for experienced Linux enthusiasts. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/gobuntu for more information and download mirrors.. | 13:29 |
| Bodsda | i didnt think we were allowed to tell people how to set a root password...? | 13:29 |
| popey | indus: you dont need a root password, you can use "sudo -i" to switch to a root like terminal | 13:30 |

| luis | hey how can i put avant window navigator on top of the screen? | 13:30 |
| hittt | D: | 13:30 |
| Bodsda | luis: you can set things like that in awn-manager# | 13:31 |
| Ubuntus | Anyway, i am using the eth2 to connect with internet now, and i connected an ADSL modem on eth0 and it worked very well, so there's no problem with my network cards, i think | 13:31 |
| Bodsda | luis: you can set things like that in awn-manager | 13:31 |
| kyle_ | i dont know how to load it... i got emerald manager and compiz manager and i dont know what to do next | 13:31 |
| drkimble | luis: that should be simple, just check prefs/opts | 13:31 |
| hittt | ummm | 13:31 |
| cybersplice | indus: You can sudo -s to get a root terminal, then set the password with the command passwd. I'd reinforce the comments of others that you really shouldn't set a root password or use the root account unless you know precicely what you're doing. :) | 13:31 |
| popey | !root | indus | 13:31 |
| ubottu | indus: 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 | 13:31 |
| Bodsda | cybersplice: and if he knew precisely what he is doing, he wouldnt need to ask how to do it | 13:32 |
| indus | popey: i know i know | 13:32 |
| pronoy_ | kyle_: download an emerald theme select it | 13:32 |
| cybersplice | Bodsda: People need to learn somehow. ;) | 13:32 |
| pronoy_ | kyle_: and issue this command in the terminal emerald --replace | 13:32 |
| indus | cybersplice: using sudo -s immediately asks for password ? how do i set it then | 13:32 |
| kyle_ | okay give me a sec to do that | 13:32 |
| Bodsda | cybersplice: true, but i dont think we are allowed to tell people that in here | 13:32 |
| drkimble | whats this no root unless you know what your doing rubbish | 13:32 |
| Bodsda | indus: it is asking for the sudo password not the root password | 13:33 |
| indus | no no no | 13:33 |
| Bodsda | drkimble: its not rubbish its common sense | 13:33 |
| pronoy_ | kyle_: if you want that emerald should be permanent window decorater you can go to sessions and add a new session having the command emerald --replace and make it run at startup | 13:33 |
| Ubuntus | I have tested the network adapters and they are working | 13:33 |
| drkimble | if someone does not know linux its hard enough for him her to get to root lol | 13:33 |

| ikonia | indus: some people like using root, or dont know about sudo | 13:43 |
| drkimble | ther3ald3al: free | 13:43 |
| mrefg | can you put microsoft office on there? | 13:43 |
| drkimble | always will be free | 13:43 |
| ther3ald3al | how do i get a cd sent out | 13:43 |
| hittt | Bodsda: Even if I educate them, there are loads and loads of prank cmds, like sn!+sg!& minus a char, or loads of HEX codes | 13:43 |
| popey | mrefg: using crossover office, yes | 13:43 |
| Bodsda | mrefg: with wine yes, but Open Office is just as good and installed by default | 13:43 |
| pronoy_ | kyle_: ok you will have something called the startup applications i am guessing | 13:43 |
| Radtoo | mrefg: no linux or OSX or BSD has any viruses you need to worry about. | 13:43 |
| ikonia | mrefg: this is all detailed on ubuntu.com | 13:43 |
| kyle_ | yes | 13:43 |
| drkimble | mrefg: use openoffice | 13:43 |
| mrefg | no thanks Bodsda I don't drink | 13:43 |
| giles__ | mrefg: 700mb on dial up is at best around 24 hours. my guess is that it will take you much longer | 13:43 |
| linuser | Hey everyone, I just wanted to congratulate you guys on having all Linux distro's come together to get a 1% marketshare! HOORAY | 13:43 |
| ther3ald3al | drkimble can u send me a cd out | 13:43 |
| saivin | mrefg: you have any equivalent of MS office, with version 3.0 it can also read your Office 2007 files.. | 13:43 |
| indus | ikonia: i have used red hat server so in those cases being super user makes sense but i was wondering if ubuntu server edition comes with root account | 13:43 |
| ther3ald3al | i want 10 copies | 13:43 |
| Bodsda | hittt: indeed, but who would run such an obscure looking thing | 13:43 |
| mrefg | Can I play crysis on there?? | 13:43 |
| Radtoo | linuser: lol... good joke :) | 13:43 |
| pronoy_ | kyle_: now all you need to do is add this command emeral --replace | 13:43 |
| ikonia | indus: no more/less than the desktop edition | 13:44 |
| mrefg | Or Battletoads?? | 13:44 |
| kyle_ | alright | 13:44 |
| ikonia | mrefg: last time - this is on ubuntu.com | 13:44 |

| Bodsda | mrefg: wine is a program that allows you to run windows programs in linux | 13:44 |
| drkimble | ther3ald3al: why, get one of off the site? | 13:44 |
| ikonia | mrefg: please read the basics on ubuntu.com | 13:44 |

| Radtoo | linuser: you're wrong anyhow, but its like ubuntu-unrelated and doesn't really belong in here. Go #ubunutu-offtopic? | 13:44 |
| mrefg | THATS NOT ON THE WEBSITE | 13:44 |
| mrefg | I ASKED | 13:44 |
| kyle_ | awesome | 13:44 |

| Pricey | mrefg: battletoads? | 13:44 |
| ikonia | mrefg: it is - if you follow the support links, there is info | 13:44 |
| linuser | it's related, since Ubuntu's part of the distros | 13:44 |
| mrefg | yes battletoads | 13:44 |

| jelly12gen | @lol | 13:45 |
| jelly12gen | !lol | 13:45 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 13:45 |
| mrefg | I haven't done anything wrong | 13:45 |
| mrefg | I just came here to learn!! | 13:45 |
| giles__ | think about it mr. efg | 13:45 |
| lundh | saivin: good. I dont want to wear the drive out if I can avoid it | 13:45 |
| giles__ | pretty obvious | 13:45 |

| mrefg | I'm reading that now | 13:46 |

| jelly12gen | them that ubottu bot can't do anything | 13:46 |

| ikonia | mrefg: that will give you a good introduction to what ubuntu can/can't do | 13:46 |
| mrefg | and you are helpful | 13:46 |
| pronoy_ | mfreg: you can see the list of windows applications appdb at the wine website and to know more about ubuntu basics you can do what ikonia says | 13:46 |
| Bodsda | mrefg: this is a support channel, not a lecture room, if you have a specific question we will be ahppy to answer it | 13:46 |

| Bodsda | YAY!! | 13:47 |
| Bodsda | got sound back | 13:48 |
| bentob0x | that sound messup with Ubuntu really _really_ has to stop, I had issues with 6.10, 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 and now 9.04 (8.10 was the only one that was actually flawless for me) | 13:48 |
| bentob0x | sound is the very basic of everything | 13:48 |
| indus | iam a lady :) | 13:48 |
| Bodsda | bentob0x: what sound messup? | 13:48 |
| indus | please be nice | 13:48 |
| Boohbah | bentob0x: please tell the pulseaudio developers | 13:48 |
| bentob0x | Bodsda: it seems that for each new Ubuntu distro, there is a sound issue | 13:48 |
| Pricey | bentob0x: have you reported any bugs? | 13:48 |
| Bodsda | Boohbah: it was not an issue with pulseaudio developement if your reffering to the epic fail on 8.04 | 13:49 |
| tecky | is there a way for me to download the iso image and mount it and do a upgrade from there? | 13:49 |
| drkimble | bentob0x: welcome to Linux, I have problems with 2 things at once | 13:49 |
| Bodsda | bentob0x: my problem was caused by me :) | 13:49 |
| Dracofodder | how do I check that specific libraries are installed? am adding encryption to pidgin, and two pre-reqs are the nss/mspr libs, and also that pidgin was installed as dev to include the headers. don't know how to verify this on ubuntu | 13:49 |
| ikonia | tecky: not a good way of doing it to be honest, | 13:49 |
| indus | Bodsda: epic fail for you maybe, it worked flawless for me | 13:49 |
| ikonia | !upgrade > tecky | 13:49 |
| saivin | indus: good to have ladies in geek forums... :) | 13:49 |
| ubottu | tecky, please see my private message | 13:49 |
| Radtoo | ikonia / mods: Today is an odd day, we had the same problems over in another two linux channels that are usually free of this, 'swell. Just a heads up. | 13:49 |
| drkimble | Linux is no magic wand man | 13:49 |
| bentob0x | no, I'm going through the web to see if there is already a fix for it _before_ I submit a bug | 13:49 |
| ikonia | tecky: check out the link about the alternative CD | 13:49 |
| ikonia | Radtoo: thank you | 13:49 |
| erUSUL | tecky: yes with the alternate CD | 13:49 |

| tecky | ugh upgrading was soo bad from 8.10 to 9.04 a few days ago, has the network traffic cleared up? | 13:50 |
| hittt | i want a shirt! | 13:50 |
| bentob0x | still, for more than two years that I do use Ubuntu on different hardware, the sound has been overally the most annoying feature to fix ... | 13:50 |
| indus | Pricey: sorry | 13:50 |
| ikonia | hittt: this channel is for ubuntu support only. Please follow that | 13:50 |
| indus | Pricey: bye now | 13:50 |
| saivin | ikonia is having tough time... | 13:51 |
| ubuntu__ | hello | 13:51 |
| hittt | How can i make a command that needs root priviliges work without them? chmod? | 13:51 |
| jelly12gen | all chanel ops should have a tought time | 13:51 |
| Bodsda | hi ubuntu__, welcome to #ubuntu | 13:51 |
| ikonia | hittt: use sudo | 13:51 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| jelly12gen | hittt: visudo | 13:51 |
| ikonia | jelly12gen: no | 13:52 |
| hittt | fakeroot? | 13:52 |
| nirc | http://www.Marie-gets-Deflowered.com/?id=d31c9d59 | 13:52 |
| Bodsda | jelly12gen: offtopic chat about channel ops in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 13:52 |
| jelly12gen | ikonia: hah not , i can easily do the thrik | 13:52 |
| ikonia | hittt: fake root is nothing to do with it | 13:52 |
| sacarlson | hittt: sudo | 13:52 |
| hittt | I dont want to use gksudo or anything like that, I thought that chmod u+X foo.bar should help me | 13:53 |
| ikonia | hittt: you said without chmod | 13:53 |
| jelly12gen | hittt: what command> | 13:53 |
| ikonia | hittt: if you want to use chmod - you can setuid on a program to make it run as root | 13:53 |
| Bodsda | hittt: a command that needs root privileges needs sudo, anything that requires root privileges needs sudo | 13:53 |
| hittt | Ikonia: i meant with chmod command to get away from sudo | 13:53 |
| sacarlson | hittt: I sometimes makes scripts that have the command sudo in it and setup sudo so I don't need passwords | 13:53 |
| ikonia | hittt: look up setuid | 13:54 |
| hittt | k | 13:54 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !wfm | sacarlson | 13:54 |
| ubottu | sacarlson: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 13:54 |
| bigpresh | hittt: And be aware that setuid can be a nasty security risk, particularly if you're on a multi-user machine | 13:54 |
| Bodsda | is fluxbuntu an official project? | 13:54 |
| jelly12gen | bigpresh: chown is too | 13:54 |
| jelly12gen | and chmod | 13:54 |
| puneeth | which driver to install on jaunty jackelope---my graphic card is nvidia geforce MX 4000 i tried installing nvidia-glx-96 driver | 13:54 |
| erUSUL | hittt: you have to think carefully what you are about to do... doing setuid or editing sudoers to make an executable "free for all" is dangerous and could have many security implications | 13:55 |
| jelly12gen | puneeth: google knowz | 13:55 |
| golas1989 | !pl | 13:55 |
| ubottu | Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl | 13:55 |
| hittt | bigpresh, it is just a shotcut i need to turn the fan on/auto. no security risk i hope | 13:55 |
| Bodsda | !giyf | jelly12gen | 13:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about giyf | 13:55 |
| Bodsda | bah | 13:55 |
| jelly12gen | Bodsda: what ? | 13:55 |
| hittt | and i will store it in /usr/bin with 555 | 13:55 |
| erUSUL | puneeth: the System>Admin>Hardware drivers does ot wrok for you? | 13:55 |
| Bodsda | jelly12gen: telling people to google everything is hardly helpful, he already said he has tried something | 13:55 |
| jelly12gen | hittt: then just use chmod | 13:55 |
| giles__ | hey anyone here know anything about eee pc video drivers causing intrepid to hang? | 13:55 |
| hittt | k | 13:55 |
| jelly12gen | Bodsda: ofcourse he failed then , problay in tha wiki | 13:56 |
| nnull | jelly12gen, not sure have no problems with UNR on my eee | 13:56 |
| Dracofodder | ok, I found the lib list in apt-cache pkgnames | 13:56 |
| Bodsda | whatever | 13:56 |
| erUSUL | hittt: you do not know how well programed the executable is... programs that have setuid (becouse there is no other way to do it like sudo) are heavely audited | 13:57 |
| hittt | erUNSUL: it is a home made script 15 lines | 13:57 |
| Dracofodder | anyone know how to verify I have a devel install of an app? I am trying to add the pidgin encryption and cannot verify the requirement of the development headers | 13:57 |
| ikonia | hittt: if you want scripting help, check out #bash | 13:57 |
| jelly12gen | !stfw | 13:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about stfw | 13:57 |
| ikonia | jelly12gen: what does that mean ? | 13:58 |
| hittt | k | 13:58 |
| Bodsda | Dracofodder: just try to install it, if you have it it will tell you | 13:58 |
| giles__ | nnull: yeah i'm thinking i might have caused some internal damage spilling a beer onto it D: | 13:58 |
| jelly12gen | ikonia: search the fucking wiki | 13:58 |

| erUSUL | puneeth: and other 3d apps work fine?? | 13:59 |
| luchador | I would need little advice with ubuntu 9.04. after the installation my ssh connections are really sticky | 13:59 |
| erUSUL | puneeth: gmaes and such | 13:59 |
| Radtoo | luchador: "sticky" meaning...? | 14:00 |
| tecky | luchador: what the heck did you mean by sticky? its not dropping connections? | 14:00 |
| luchador | Radtoo: kind of hangs for 2-10 sec time to time | 14:00 |
| luchador | tecky: | 14:00 |
| luchador | sorry | 14:00 |
| agionz | hi, I can't boot my ubuntu since I updated it from 8.10 hardy to the newest version. I can't get to the log in screen but the computer boots fine. I updated my ubuntu with upgrade manager directly from the internet. Here's my menu.lst if it helps http://pastebin.com/m4fa9c60a thanks for help! | 14:00 |
| hackoidz | maybe your connection luchador | 14:00 |
| hackoidz | it happened to me | 14:00 |
| puneeth | erUSUL: i didnt try playing games but the resolution is 800x600 | 14:01 |
| puneeth | cant improve further.. | 14:01 |
| Radtoo | luchador: It might go down to some driver / networking problem, or if you do bulk volume transfers over ssh a feature may not be enabled. | 14:01 |
| luchador | hackoidz: otherwise the connection speed seems ok | 14:01 |
| sacarlson | luchador: I have that problem on my wifi at times with intermitent contection | 14:01 |
| erUSUL | puneeth: run « glxinfo | grep -i direct » what does it says ? | 14:01 |
| luchador | I always use wifi with this one so it might be it | 14:01 |
| luchador | I did not notice any problems with bittorrent etc. | 14:02 |
| puneeth | erUSUL: it says yes | 14:02 |
| tecky | puneeth: should look something like this | 14:02 |
| tecky | jkroll@XPS:~$ glxinfo | grep -i direct | 14:02 |
| tecky | direct rendering: Yes | 14:02 |
| TheZanke | testing | 14:02 |
| TheZanke | woo! | 14:02 |
| erUSUL | puneeth: the drivers is corrctly instaled... to fix the resolution install nvidia-settings | 14:02 |
| Radtoo | luchador: yes, but ssh is more noticeable. | 14:02 |
| puneeth | tecky; yeah | 14:02 |
| luchador | Radtoo: yeah, as it happens while using irc :) | 14:03 |
| hackoidz | puneeth are you able to enable the desktop effects? | 14:03 |
| sacarlson | erUSUL: What a working nvidia? | 14:03 |
| kyle_ | alright emeralds looking good... do any of you know a good website for emerald themes | 14:03 |
| Radtoo | luchador: assuming "something else gets sent first" or "something gets sent delayed" in bittorrent you might not even notice, unlike with ssh. | 14:03 |
| luchador | Radtoo: actually, now I am using irssi on my local computer and do not see any problems | 14:03 |
| TheZanke | Now, I actually did come here with a question before that >.< Webcam+Stickam on Jaunty? | 14:03 |
| pronoy_ | kyle_: google it | 14:03 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | was wondering if any one else was having a issue with sound only working out of one side? | 14:04 |
| invictus | ... | 14:04 |
| Bodsda | TheZanke: thats not a question | 14:04 |
| e-man | anyone with experience in magnetic sensors could qry me? | 14:04 |
| luchador | Radtoo: but always while using the screen over ssh it's really bad | 14:04 |
| hackoidz | puneeth? | 14:04 |
| sacarlson | L3dPlatedLinux: on skype? yes | 14:04 |
| tecky | luchador: resuming a screen session you get the lag ? | 14:04 |
| Radtoo | luchador: erhaps just wlan interference. Or overloaded connection problems. Or some packet loss. It does not sound like a problem "caused" by ubuntu though. | 14:05 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | sacarlson, for me everything | 14:05 |
| TheZanke | Bodsda, it was when i first asked it... I am running an Alienware m9750 with an inbuilt camera and the only thing stopping me from going all ubuntu instead of dualbooting is that i cant talk to my friends on stickam with webcam.. which is what i do while i code things.... | 14:05 |
| puneeth | hackoidz:nope it gives some error... | 14:05 |
| hackoidz | what is the error? | 14:05 |
| sacarlson | L3dPlatedLinux: nope just skype for me | 14:05 |
| luchador | tecky: yeah | 14:05 |
| TheZanke | Bodsda, so i am asking what packages i need to get to get the webcam and stickam to work... if anyone knows | 14:05 |
| Bodsda | TheZanke: again, not a question, and please address the question to the channel sao everyone can benefit, say what you have tried, exact problems, error messages etc etc./ | 14:05 |
| kryl | hi | 14:05 |
| kryl | I'm searching a way to use two monitor on a laptop with ATI card, openbox, xorg, perhaps xinerama ... ? | 14:05 |
| bartmon | Hey guys, I'm looking for a simple personal finance management program. What do you use and how did you learn to use it? | 14:06 |

| agionz | hi, I have a problem with ubuntu. I can't boot my ubuntu since I updated it from 8.10 hardy to the newest version. I can't get to the log in screen but the computer boots fine. After boot I can't get to the shell by pressing alt+ctrl+F1. I updated my ubuntu with upgrade manager directly from the internet. Here's my menu.lst if it helps http://pastebin.com/m4fa9c60a and I'm now on live cd. thanks for help! | 14:07 |

(Yes, all cables are plugged :)) | 14:08 |
| Radtoo | sacarlson: It's all possible. With wlan you can even have connection problems when you're sitting right next to the AP, unfortunately. Its just not as reliable vs interference and so on, and sensitive services like SSH suffer more than others. | 14:08 |

| armegadon | hi there, something in the updates related to alsa and bluetooth yesterday broke my audio, as in the normal volume i now i have to use in apps and the system volume is much much higher, and everytime i change apps i have to keep adjusting the volume back and forth | 14:18 |
| aroth | i've a question about upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 | 14:18 |
| ikonia | aroth: just ask | 14:18 |
| davidf88 | I have to save with expierence using KDE, Gnome and xfce I think gnome is the best then again personal oppinion | 14:18 |
| linduxed | i need to temporarily configure my comp to ave a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and the usual subnet mask | 14:18 |
| linduxed | how do i do it? | 14:18 |
| aroth | i tried to upgrade to jaunty via the command line 'do-release-upgrade'. But it only tells me that no new release has been found. | 14:19 |
| djiezes | linduxed: you should be able to change those settings in your router. howto accomplish that depends on your type of router. look for a guide for your specific type of router. | 14:19 |
| hbekel | linduxed: ifconfig | 14:19 |
| coleys | aroth: Open Update Manager, and click check twice. | 14:19 |
| coleys | aroth: Then you should see distribution upgrade at the top of it. | 14:20 |
| linduxed | djiezes: i need to do it locally | 14:20 |
| linduxed | hbekel: any howto on that? | 14:20 |
| draw | linduxed: does this help ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/158011/ | 14:20 |
| aroth | coleys: i only have the command line, because no gui is installed on the machine | 14:20 |

| dostoyevsky | endless loop that is | 14:21 |
| Radtoo | Boohbah: Not saying it is bad, but I feel it had quite a bunch of configuration more, which is a bit of a chore if you only want the simplest of setups. exim can do with just two simple files or so if you want it to. | 14:21 |
| sacarlson | opps sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.210 | 14:21 |
| ikonia | linduxed: are you running ubuntu or arch ? | 14:21 |
| linduxed | draw: will check | 14:21 |
| usr13 | I'm trying to find out why this 8.04 system is locking up. I'm suspecting that the display adapter may have something to do with it.

I have a terminal open to it from another PC on my LAN showing tail -f /var/log/messages I also have one showing top in hopes of some sort | 14:21 |
| linduxed | sacarlson: will try that | 14:22 |
| Radtoo | Boohbah: Thus the suggestion for exim. Not that postfix is "unacceptable" or anything for such a setup, just a wee bit more work :) | 14:22 |

| narnarnar | Hello! Can you guys think of a command line tool that creates an encrypted directory or blockdevice based on ftp or ssh? Similar to cryptsetup which creates an encrypted blockdevice at /dev/mapper/soandso based on an existing blockdevice. Doing that on top of ftp or ssh so that the encryption happens on the client would let you store sensitive data on hosts you dont trust. | 14:28 |

| andrew2390 | hey guys, i need a little help with irc server connections | 14:30 |

| sacarlson | Eddy_: you setup a firewall? | 14:31 |
| narnarnar | grawity: sshfs doesnt store the data encrypted on the host, right? | 14:31 |
| pirolocito | Eddy_, with openssh-server you should connect local | 14:31 |
| pirolocito | unless a firewall is blocking | 14:31 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: The question would always be, can you actually cache the remote file / directory locally or not... access to some remote encrypted file storage as such is a bit of an odd thing. | 14:31 |

| Radtoo | narnarnar: but as I said, I wouldn't think it is a good idea (as its a problem in many ways) to have a remote encrpted file / directory / whatever shared over network and used (read write, anyways) locally. | 14:34 |
| narnarnar | Radtoo, usr13: I see that mount also has an encryption option. interesting. maybe that alone is enough? | 14:35 |
| utakbiya | ok thanks very much...how about in the terminal is there a command in there? | 14:35 |
| narnarnar | Radtoo: why do you think its a bad idea? | 14:35 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: Its much cleaner if you either download/upload the file and technically only do encrptiion locally or have a remote file storage is unlocked prior to being shared over network. | 14:35 |
| usr13 | narnarnar: I have experience with backing up filesystems to another PC across the LAN and compressing it on that other PC. Maybe you could customize the command I used to encrypt it instead of compressing it ? | 14:36 |
| cracken2261 | hm | 14:36 |
| narnarnar | Radtoo: to me, having a directory to work on like every other directory seems a lot more elegant. | 14:36 |
| usr13 | narnarnar: If you first just want to copy a filesystem acorss a LAN, I can show you a command for that. | 14:37 |
| narnarnar | usr13: i think i would like to use my already written incremental backuptools. just over the net to other hosts. | 14:37 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: hard to explain. because random access on a block device over network (streaming bytes or somesuch) to decrypt it locally and to decrypt/ interpret it as a filesystem there is highly cumbersome | 14:37 |

| NativeAngels | hello can anyone tell me how to ssh a sunxvm box ? with ubuntu installed on it | 14:39 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: right. so you want the remote side to mount an encrypted archive but sharing the files over network would already be the decrypted ones, for instance | 14:39 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: Or, you transmit the encyrpted files from remote to yourself and decrypt them there. These are good solutions IMO. | 14:39 |
| narnarnar | Radtoo: i want the client to do the encryption. based on all the infos i got by now, it seems to be real easy. | 14:40 |
| Kartagis | genii-konv, how do I do that in console without querying ubottu ? | 14:40 |
| sacarlson | NativeAngels: >sh sunxvm | 14:40 |
| usr13 | narnarnar: Ok, but I just use nfs share and do it like this: dd if=/dev/hda1 | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz' | 14:40 |
| Vlet | Eddy_: Check your server's /etc/deny.hosts for the client's IP | 14:40 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: And to get "encrypted files" that you can decrypt, you can really just use truecrypt or loopback mounted encrytped files. right, real easy :) | 14:40 |
| genii-konv | Kartagis: something like: apt-cache search subversion | 14:40 |
| sacarlson | opps did it again >ssh sunxvm_ip_address | 14:41 |
| genii-konv | Kartagis: You can also use "policy" instead of "search" to find out version, if installed, etc | 14:41 |
| NativeAngels | would it still be port 22 | 14:41 |
| Kartagis | thanks genii-konv | 14:41 |

| Magician_ | it makes your other operating system take the minimal space, side by side gives you equal space or you can maunally partion | 14:53 |

| Radtoo | narnarnar: yep that's one possible solution but the author there warns of the inefficiency and performance problems just as I did ;) | 14:55 |
| usr13 | narnarnar: Reading. | 14:55 |
| cck | how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? | 14:55 |
| narnarnar | Radtoo: performance doesnt matter for me | 14:55 |
| jacquesmerde | Magician_: i got the sense that i don't want side by side as it will try and shrink/enlarge my windows partition so i want largest free space, but i got the sense that that option didnt install a bootloader | 14:55 |
| cck | how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? | 14:55 |
| Vlet | BlueMe: Check your 'sounds' control panel. In there, you may select qhich device to use for which types of sounds (in other words, you could have system sounds played through one sound card, music through another.... very useful if you're using ubuntu to `perform` in one way or another) | 14:55 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: (And it may get entirely unworkable if you have an unreliable connection). But I guess it can be done. | 14:55 |
| linduxed | when i press the nm-applet and select Auto-eth0 it just spins a while and then says that im disconnected (didnt find anything) | 14:55 |
| sacarlson | linduxed: you might be able to use the network-manager but I use a script | 14:56 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: Well, try it. At least it's not going to "secretly" break in a way you can't see (and only fail when you actaully need your data back). | 14:56 |
| sacarlson | linduxed: you need to setup route add default gw your_gateway_address | 14:56 |
| narnarnar | Radtoo: are you sure it gets unworkable? i would doubt that. i think sending data over unreliable connections has been solved meanwhile. | 14:56 |
| giaco | what's cc1plus? | 14:56 |
| Magician_ | jacquesmerde: It will install the boot loader. and all your booting will depend on the kernel. you will be given a choice of which system you want to load | 14:56 |

| zetheroo | a friend oh fine is trying to log onto a network overseas (wireless) and this is the key ( 81cc26fe48a35b7666c2004fc8) ... is that a WEP passphrase or WPA? | 14:57 |

| vlt | Hello. I'm looking for a tool to convert DBF files to SQL or at least CSV. I just found dbf2mysql which needs a real MySQL server to send the data to (instead of just creating a dump file). Any better idea? | 14:57 |
| BlueMe | Vlet: everything configured, in fact i can heard certain system sound but no some of them...it seems that there is a conflict or something like that. Now I deselect a sound (for the trash) wich was working and now selecting again the same sound it doesn't work anymore | 14:57 |
| jacquesmerde | Magician_: so given that they'll both let me install grub, and they'll both put ubuntu in the free space i've preset, what would be the difference between the two options? | 14:57 |
| Radtoo | narnarnar: It does. You cannot resume with this simple approach. And the technology stack makes using the workarounds and drop-in fixes harder than you might think at first. but it's easy enough to just try, I guess. | 14:58 |
| Magician_ | in your case there isn't much different other than the space you use | 14:58 |
| BlueMe | how can I uninstall or deactivate the sond bus wich came with my ATI driver? I think it's the point. My system think it have to work with 2 soundcard. | 14:58 |
| Vlet | BlueMe: hmm, you may need to wade through your dmesg to try to see if the system is complaining about anything at boot | 14:58 |

| digdeep | Radtoo: trying | 15:02 |
| Magician_ | jacquesmerde: most people that do dual boot are using both os about the same amount of time for various things so equal space is the more prominent choice, but if you are going to make ubuntu your primary os then you need to use the largest spacee | 15:02 |
| usr13 | narnarnar: As it states in that article, dd is for use on a filesystem that is not in use because a running filesystem is dynamic. | 15:03 |
| jacquesmerde | Magician_: so i DO want largest free space then? will side by side create a 50/50 split and not let me decide on another ratio? | 15:03 |
| usr13 | narnarnar: But looks like pretty good information for your intentions. | 15:04 |
| Magician_ | yes you DO want the largest space in your case. And the side by side will do a 50/50 with no other options | 15:04 |
| jacquesmerde | Magician_: sorry to ask so many questions. i've set up dual boot dozens of times, usually by using cfdisk for creating partitions and setting mountpoints, but i have NO idea what those two options in the ubuntu menu are supposed to mean | 15:04 |
| Andy80 | if I've an Asus EeePC 901 (Intel Atom N270) do I have to use normal Ubuntu packages or lpia optimized one? | 15:05 |

| Austin___ | has anyone else figured out why 9.04 is saying that Remote Desktop is only accessible over the local network when 8.10 didn't have that restriction? | 15:05 |
| Austin___ | and how to fix it? | 15:05 |
| jacquesmerde | Magician_: so side-by-side is generally geared for people who have no free space, just one os that uses one partition that covers the whole drive? i take it then that resizing ntfs partitions with linux tools is a LOT safer than it used to be! | 15:06 |
| cck | how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? | 15:06 |

| Radtoo | narnarnar,usr13: if its the same article I'm looking at (linked by narnarnar earlier) it uses dd to create an file that is encrypted using luks and then loopback mounted. the actual backup is done filewise? | 15:06 |

| hub_ | i'm using ubuntu 9.04 + ati x1250 and i have a vsync problem (some tearing), and i want to know how to i enable vsync ? | 15:29 |
| Radtoo | MRSunshine___: I guess it isn't being saved and you might just want to set the default layout? | 15:30 |
| shashwatpns | can anyone help me install Windows on a partition of my hard drive?????????????????????????? | 15:30 |
| glitsj16 | cobra-the-joker: far from an expert on that, but i'm sure there are people here that can help if they know what you're after | 15:30 |
| clearscreen | shashwatpns: this is a channel for ubuntu support | 15:30 |
| MRSunshine___ | Radtoo, i have swedish only in the list, when i reboot i get US layout and have to add swedish agan and remove the old swedish for it to be swedish | 15:30 |
| cobra-the-joker | when i play chess ...and turn on the 3d view thing ....there is some message appears and tell me that i dont have some packages installed on my system | 15:30 |
| shashwatpns | i know but there is a prob with ubuntu its not allowing windows get installed clearscreen | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | cobra-the-joker: ive NEVER seen that 3d part of the chess program work.. tried it over the last 3-4 releases.. and never ever figured it ouyt. | 15:31 |
| glitsj16 | cobra-the-joker: yes i remember having to add something to get 3D chess | 15:31 |
| tonytraductor | weird...can't find fluxbox in synaptic, but sudo apt-get install fluxbox responds appropriately | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | glitsj16: ;) you must have more patience then i did. Heh. | 15:31 |
| glitsj16 | Dr_Willis: it does work, now if only my memory wasn't gone lol | 15:32 |
| trancefat | Hello all, I hv installed the STA wireless driver but I cannot see any wireless network :( | 15:32 |
| clearscreen | shashwatpns: ubuntu does not wilfully block windows from being installed | 15:32 |
| creative83 | !apt | 15:32 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 15:32 |

| hub_ | anyone know about my vsync problem ? | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | There are like 1000 python related pacages in the repos.. perhaps one of them. :) but what one. | 15:32 |
| scottzhang_ | hi, i have the problem about Bluetooth. | 15:33 |

| cobra-the-joker | is there is a standard libs for 3D thing | 15:33 |

| TJ__ | i need some help, what is the best/most extensive way to test a HDD in ubuntu? I have been running jaunty and twice now my file system has become corrupted, but XP runs fine. | 15:33 |
| cobra-the-joker | just be carefull there | 15:34 |
| Radtoo | MRSunshine___: Hard to say. Perhaps it's an actual bug with gnome-keyboard-properties, or a write protected configuration file or something. | 15:34 |
| clearscreen | shashwatpns: windows is not compatible with the ext3 (or any other partition format other than FAT/NTFS), do you want to have a dual boot system? | 15:34 |
| creative83 | Could everyone install todays update of gnome-app-install? I'm getting this error: http://pastie.org/468730 | 15:34 |
| exco | how can I extract multiple partition iso's ? (archive mounter only shows 2 txt files inside a dvd iso) | 15:35 |
| TJ__ | clearscreen, but one could use something like EXT2-fs to mount them in windows. | 15:35 |
| shashwatpns | clearscreen: yes | 15:35 |
| clearscreen | TJ__: sure, but you can't install windows on em :p | 15:35 |
| TJ__ | clearscreen, true true | 15:36 |
| clearscreen | shashwatpns: if you want to keep your current ubuntu installation, you should use a live CD to resize your existing ext3 partition, install windows in the free space, and then use the live cd again to install grub to your MBR (windows will overwrite it) | 15:36 |
| clearscreen | shashwatpns: if you want to save yourself a lot of trouble, install windows first, then install ubuntu and have it do all that for you | 15:36 |
| dayo | i heard `sudo bash` is not a good way of getting a root shell. what is? | 15:36 |
| clearscreen | dayo: sudo -i | 15:36 |
| shashwatpns | k | 15:36 |
| glitsj16 | cobra-the-joker: Dr_Willis: i believe it's the python-gtkglext1 package you'll need for 3D support in glchess | 15:37 |
| tonytraductor | ah....no sakura (terminal emulator) | 15:38 |
| creative83 | clearscreen: What about sudo su? | 15:38 |
| dayo | clearscreen: thanks! | 15:38 |
| clearscreen | creative83: I've heard that you should use sudo -i anyway, I'm not sure what it's benefits are over 'sudo su' | 15:38 |
| grawity | dayo: 'sudo -i' or 'sudo -s' are preferred. | 15:38 |
| Xcube | hello | 15:38 |
| clearscreen | I just take it for granted :) | 15:38 |
| tonytraductor | okay, now here's a question...I currently have a PCLOS install, with / on 20gb, and /home on the remainder of my 300gb drive | 15:38 |
| cobra-the-joker | mmm ... i will search for it | 15:38 |
| grawity | clearscreen, creative83: What if "su" doesn't work? | 15:38 |
| Xcube | i'm a new ubuntu user, and i've a question :/ | 15:39 |
| tonytraductor | if I install ubuntu over the PCLOS, I'm going to have to rewrite my /home and restore from backups, aren't I? | 15:39 |
| Steeley | Xcube: ask away | 15:39 |
| tonytraductor | I mean, it won't just install / to the current PCLOS /, and use the current /home | 15:39 |
| mercenary | vxcv | 15:39 |
| tonytraductor | without overwriting /home | 15:39 |
| clearscreen | grawity: I guess... but that maybe happens in 0.0000000000000001% of all ubuntu installs? :P | 15:39 |
| jtaji | tonytraductor: it can do that, it's only required to overwrite / | 15:39 |
| Radtoo | tonytraductor: If /home was on a seperate partition its not a problem | 15:39 |
| jtaji | tonytraductor: right if it's a separate partition | 15:40 |
| tonytraductor | cool | 15:40 |
| majnoon | tonytraductor, try a DVD-R ?? | 15:40 |
| mercenary | chinese | 15:40 |
| mercenary | where is chinese | 15:40 |
| jtaji | !cn | mercenary | 15:40 |
| ubottu | mercenary: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 15:40 |
| tonytraductor | but it will overwrite relevant config files in /home when necessary, right? | 15:40 |
| Radtoo | tonytraductor: no configuration files in /home/ are really relevant though. :) | 15:40 |
| grawity | clearscreen: s/ubuntu/Linux/ - that applies to all distros. And believe, typos in /etc/pam.d/ _can_ do that. | 15:40 |
| tonytraductor | DVD-R? why? | 15:40 |
| jtaji | tonytraductor: it will use them when you log in as your users only | 15:40 |
| tonytraductor | I have the whole /home backed up to a 320gb usb storage drive | 15:41 |
| tonytraductor | okay | 15:41 |
| tonytraductor | I think I | 15:41 |
| tonytraductor | m going to ditch PCLOS and come back to Ubuntu, now | 15:41 |
| clearscreen | grawity: I'm aware that it applies to all GNU/Linux distributions | 15:41 |
| Xcube | I've 2PC: 1st runs on ubuntu connected to internet via eth0 and 2nd runs on winXP | 15:42 |
| Xcube | i wanna share my connexion with PC winXP | 15:42 |
| majnoon | tonytraductor, just backup what you wnt to keep then do complete do over | 15:42 |

| ubottu | Xcube: 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 | 15:43 |
| Xcube | the ubuntu PC has 2 network cartds, eth0 for modem and eth1 for pc winXP | 15:43 |
| [vali] | tonytraductor, thats one of the reasons of using a /home partition. If you use that, you can install wathever distro you want without worrying about losing your data/config | 15:43 |

| sledgeSRV | please help me dear ubuntu ppl. i had vista running on my PC and power outage occured and my boot ddrive got fried. i want to get whatever data might be on there of before reformatting and putting ubuntu on as my OS but when i boot from ubuntu CD the drive wont mount... any ideas?????????? | 15:46 |
| mr_daniel | I use the Network Manager to connect to a OpenVPN VPN. But now I want to establishe a connection manually with console. How can I do this? | 15:46 |
| mr_daniel | or asked in another way: what is Network Manager doing behind the scene to establishe a VPN connection to a OpenVPN server? | 15:46 |

| glitsj16 | !find xresprobe | cck | 15:47 |
| yaaar | i've got this rage xl pci card, and X insists on using the 'mach64' driver for it, even though all my searching says it ought to be handled by the 'ati' driver instead | 15:47 |

| mrlinux | i was using ubuntu 7.04 with firefox 2 and i could play shockwave stuff like the gadget show website but now upgrade to ubuntu 9.04 and shockwave no longer works any ideas? | 15:47 |
| Radtoo | sledgeSRV: If its another drive, explain "how" it won't mount if it has any visible errors or what not | 15:47 |
| [vali] | sledgeSRV, or the filesystem is screwed | 15:47 |

| KB1JWQ | sierinjs: Usually, but don't count on it. | 15:47 |
| sacarlson | mrlinux: maybe reinstall firefox 2.0.0 | 15:47 |
| tyler_d1 | sierinjs: they are sometimes backup copies | 15:47 |
| sledgeSRV | i think it might be file system | 15:48 |

| KB1JWQ | sierinjs: I've seen some staggeringly stupid naming conventions. | 15:48 |
| sierinjs | ? | 15:48 |

| ubuntu_ | <nmvictor> I used easybcd from windows xp to remove vistas boot record from a harddrive but seems that it affected all harddisks, so I had todo a restore of grub from the livecd and when I booted into ubuntu I got the message above | 16:04 |
| [vali] | tonytraductor, if it is the only user in the computer then it should work | 16:05 |

| ram4nd | i would like to know how to use xf86-video-ati drivers on ubuntu and do they work in 9.04??? | 16:05 |
| Radtoo | tonytraductor: hmm, did you also have a seperate /boot and didn't overwrite this, perchance? | 16:05 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu_: what do we see when we do sudo fdisk -l | 16:05 |
| tonytraductor | why would it be unable to install grub? | 16:05 |

| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> I see a list of all my drives | 16:05 |
| tonytraductor | I don't know...possibly, since some time back I had both ubuntu and pclos in dual boot | 16:06 |
| ram4nd | firefox have sound??? | 16:06 |
| ram4nd | since when | 16:06 |
| tonytraductor | likely /boot is separate | 16:06 |
| mrlinux | does everything else work sound wise? | 16:06 |
| dayo | joshjtl: try sudo alsa force-reload | 16:06 |
| Radtoo | tonytraductor: there might be a problem if /boot was not pointed to /boot, I think. Perhaps it even needs to be overwritten... | 16:06 |

| tonytraductor | okay, starting install again | 16:07 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu_: why not? | 16:07 |
| tonytraductor | funny, the install says This computer has Ubuntu 9.04 on it | 16:07 |
| tonytraductor | oh wait, it does...it just doesn't have grub installed | 16:07 |

| joshjtl | dayo: thanks that worked | 16:08 |
| tonytraductor | okay, but in the Prepare partitions dialog, I see /dev/sda1 ext 3 39gb - this is / | 16:08 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu_: what are you mounting the nfs windows partion? | 16:08 |
| anjuder_ | y a t'il des francais? | 16:09 |

| glitsj16 | mrlinux: that was the point, it isn't there for linux | 16:09 |

| DJones | !fr | anjuder_ | 16:10 |
| mrlinux | what does youtube use then i thought it was shockwave | 16:10 |
| dayo | joshjtl: after a sudo force-reload you might have to restart some sound-utilizing apps, e.g. pidgin, rhythmbox etc | 16:10 |
| Bodsda | tonytraductor: run 'sudo grub' from the terminal | 16:10 |
| tonytraductor | ok | 16:10 |
| joshjtl | dayo: oh of course, i had to do that for firefox | 16:10 |
| KB1JWQ | ideamonk: How much RAM? | 16:11 |
| Radtoo | conb123: ah, not really. There's dozens of ways to do web design nowadays and needs differ vastly. :> | 16:11 |
| tonytraductor | okay, I have grub> now what do I do? | 16:11 |
| glitsj16 | ideamonk: look into xubuntu for that kind of hardware perhaps | 16:11 |
| dayo | joshjtl: yeah, sometimes it will wipe out your ff, too. | 16:11 |
| ideamonk | oh forgot RAM IS 256 MB | 16:11 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu_: did you try mount the other partions to see what was in them? | 16:11 |

| erUSUL | ideamonk: xubuntu or a low specs especific distro like puppy linux or dsl | 16:12 |
| ideamonk | erUSUL: will xubuntu be okay for Dad ?? I think he would be comfortable with Gnome | 16:13 |
| Radtoo | conb123: but you can surely ask what programs might work for certain types of web development here (if you specify the latter). Which is best, you'll have to figure out yourself. :) | 16:13 |

| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> sadly many | 16:14 |
| Radtoo | tonytraductor: if you had no seperate partition for /boot before, it can be elegant to have one but it is not necessary. | 16:14 |
| PrebenR | ideamonk, xfce4 is way mor usable than gnome anyway | 16:14 |
| Bodsda | GTG: depends what you mean by desktop files | 16:15 |
| dayzman | hi | 16:15 |
| MenZa | ideamonk→ I really suggest 9.04 with Xfce. | 16:15 |
| tonytraductor | desktop files are usually in /home/user/.Desktop I think | 16:15 |

| dayzman | can mv take a regex pattern? | 16:15 |
| unr3a1 | hey all | 16:15 |
| GTG | icons and stuff I had on a different account on my comp | 16:15 |
| MenZa | dayzman→ I should think so - try checking `man mv` | 16:15 |
| erUSUL | dayzman: no | 16:15 |
| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> but I'm sure its not corrupted, since grub can find itself there | 16:15 |
| ideamonk | PrebenR will put that, so it comes with any xubuntu right ? | 16:15 |
| Radtoo | dayzman: a bash expression pattern, yes... but not all types of regesx | 16:15 |
| unr3a1 | how do i start the file browser from the command line? | 16:15 |
| conb123 | Whats the command to show which version of ubuntu your running? | 16:15 |
| erUSUL | dayzman: the shell will do glob expansion though see man bash | 16:15 |
| tonytraductor | the question I would have now it, if I didn't have one before, why did grub fail to install? | 16:15 |
| MenZa | unr3a1→ type 'nautilus' | 16:15 |

| ahmadkhaled | hey | 16:16 |
| dayo | joshjtl: sorry, i've never used the mic before. but maybe check your Sound config? | 16:16 |
| conb123 | erUSUL: That didn't work | 16:17 |
| ahmadkhaled | hi | 16:17 |
| MenZa | dayzman→ if that doesn't work, you could do an ls, use a pipe and grep that text according to a regex pattern and mv that. | 16:17 |
| erUSUL | dayzman: yep | 16:17 |
| erUSUL | dayzman: [m-z]* | 16:17 |
| Radtoo | dayzman: If i recall correctly, [m-z]* newdir/ - yes, I think that might work | 16:17 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu_: maybe try mount -t ext3 /dev/xxx /mnt and ext2 and a few others to be sure | 16:17 |
| unr3a1 | MenZa, ty | 16:17 |
| glitsj16 | hub_: have you checked if the ATI catalyst control center has an option to enable vsync ? | 16:17 |
| erUSUL | conb123: what did not work? lsb_release -a ? | 16:17 |
| dayzman | oh yes indeed | 16:17 |

| teapot | Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to blacklist the ath5k_pci module and load the older ath_pci module instead? | 16:18 |
| conb123 | erUSUL: Is that the command because i think that thing you typed was meant to get the bot to send me something but i didn't recieve anything | 16:18 |
| hub_ | i cant, proprietary drivers dont works in 9.04 | 16:18 |
| Radtoo | dayzman: if you need something more sophisticated in terms of a regular expression, find -exec (and whatever expression type statement you need) can do the job, possibly | 16:18 |
| Radtoo | dayzman: regex is not a standardized things. There's dialects. :) | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | conb123: it must be death... run « lsb_release -a » on a terminal | 16:18 |
| teapot | ath9k, rather. | 16:18 |

| joshjtl | can anyone help me figure out why i cant record sound from mic into audacity? I can hear my mic very loadly | 16:21 |

| joshjtl | tonytraductor: dunno | 16:21 |
| tripp | how do I run the script? | 16:21 |
| [vali] | does Labview have a "README" or "INSTALL" file ? | 16:21 |
| MenZa | tripp→ rpm files are not compatible with Ubuntu. You need a different release. | 16:21 |
| usr13 | erUSUL: So we can safely assume it wasn't you. That | 16:21 |
| usr13 | s good | 16:21 |
| creative83 | tonytraductor: Doesnt matter I guess | 16:21 |
| VryNew2NewUbuntu | No being new to all of this I just wanted a good GUI to setup some sites, I have the LAMP stack and DNS packages installed on a clean server and that is as far as I have got | 16:22 |
| joshjtl | tonytraductor: where can i check? | 16:22 |
| creative83 | tonytraductor: I have my /boot primary. The rest is logical | 16:22 |
| erUSUL | tripp: rpm are not supported in ubuntu... we use deb files... installing them via alien can be dangerous and mess up your system | 16:22 |
| tonytraductor | which doesn't matter, primary or logical? | 16:22 |
| tripp | yes, readme does not contain install information and I dont know what to do with INSTALL | 16:22 |
| erUSUL | usr13: :P | 16:22 |
| tonytraductor | let's see...if you're using gnome, I don't know | 16:22 |
| usr13 | tripp: rpm files are for RH/Fedora. | 16:22 |
| creative83 | tonytraductor: You can only have 4 primaries afaik. | 16:22 |
| joshjtl | tonytraductor: kde | 16:22 |
| tonytraductor | I've never used gnome, just KDE and now fluxbox or openbox | 16:22 |
| erUSUL | tripp: INSTALL is usually a text file explaining how to install | 16:22 |
| creative83 | tonytraductor: So use logical whenever possible. | 16:22 |
| tripp | kk, so to use the software I need redhat? | 16:22 |
| tripp | the INSTALL is just for the runtime engine | 16:23 |
| tonytraductor | okay, logical appears to be the default choice, anyway, even though there are only 4 partitions on the machine | 16:23 |
| MenZa | tripp→ Unless you can find proper support. You can also try converting the packages with !alien, but this is definitely not recommended. | 16:23 |
| Radtoo | eternal_p: uhm, yes. you could print to postscript / pdf or such, but you need to use a driver that poses as printer afaik. | 16:23 |
| tonytraductor | should I be telling it to format the /boot during install? | 16:23 |
| eternal_p | Radtoo: issue is, I'm trying to convert a scanned pdf document to text, however as it is scanned on an angle, I am having trouble with the conversion | 16:24 |
| erUSUL | eternal_p: use cups-pdf package it allows to install a pdf printer | 16:24 |
| creative83 | tonytraductor: If you're sure you're doing the right thing, yes. | 16:24 |
| tonytraductor | actually, it appears to have formatted it as ext3 while making the partition | 16:24 |
| Radtoo | eternal_p: That's very different. You want to do OCR, I think. | 16:24 |
| tonytraductor | perhaps it doesn't need to be formatted again, but I will choose "yes" | 16:24 |
| eternal_p | Radtoo: as a matter of fact, yes | 16:24 |

| Radtoo | eternal_p: But I'm not sure you can get very good results with OCR in many cases. What I however think to know is that you don't really connect it to the printing subsystem here. | 16:27 |
| jpds | RoosterJuice: Hardy? | 16:27 |

| Crash|hd | Morning yall :) I was wondering in the system->Administration there is a menu item for NVIDIA X Server Settings but when I click on it I cant do any changes as it doesnt have gksudo in the command and it doesnt ask for a password to do the changes? how do I fix that other then making another icon on the desktop or something | 16:30 |
| tonytraductor | oh wait, Josh, you should be able to openj the KDE Control center and find sond system, and there should be a button to make full duplex | 16:30 |
| teapot | glitsj16: FATAL: Module ath5k_pci not found. | 16:30 |

| jawall | How do you change the look of OpenOffice in KDE on Jaunty..? | 16:30 |
| boobsbr | hi, how do i configure glassfish on jaunty? it creates a default domain at /var/lib/glassfish/domains/domain1 which starts automatically using the root user | 16:30 |
| teapot | glitsj16: BUT connection information says clearly "Driver: ath5k_pci" | 16:30 |
| jawall | The menus in open office are huge and have words instead of icons. | 16:30 |
| Radtoo | eternal_p: If I remember correctly, I got a tif from the pdf document by opening it with the gimp, and saving to tif. And then I tesseracted that. BUT I'm not sure anymore. | 16:30 |
| eternal_p | Radtoo: I'll give it a shot, thanks | 16:31 |
| xangua | jawall: tools> preferences> appearence i think | 16:31 |
| glitsj16 | teapot: i see, i thought you had that module loaded, try lsmod | grep ath to check what you have running right now | 16:31 |
| tonytraductor | we have our own pastebin, huh? | 16:31 |
| tonytraductor | does it autopost new pastes to the channel? | 16:31 |
| AmnesiaUK | erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/164962/ | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | tonytraductor: no | 16:31 |
| tonytraductor | I like the way #tcl has one of those | 16:31 |
| tonytraductor | when you paste to the pastebin, a notification comes up in #tcl | 16:31 |
| teapot | glitsj16: Oh, it's actually ath5k not ath5k_pci | 16:31 |
| tonytraductor | I don't have any idea how they do that, though | 16:32 |
| Pici | tonytraductor: That really wouldn't work in a channel of this size. | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | AmnesiaUK: first it fails [ 1.996298] ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) | 16:32 |
| glitsj16 | teapot: well that should clear things up | 16:32 |
| Hymnosis | !fuse | 16:32 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 16:32 |

| tonytraductor | 61% and counting | 16:32 |
| teapot | glitsj16: Thanks very much. We'll see how this goes. :) | 16:32 |
| AmnesiaUK | uhu | 16:32 |
| boobsbr | hi, how do i configure glassfish on jaunty? it creates a default domain at /var/lib/glassfish/domains/domain1 which starts automatically using the root user | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | AmnesiaUK: so i think you can ignore it... or are you seeing problems with that disk ?? | 16:32 |
| glitsj16 | teapot: you're welcome, hope it works this time around | 16:32 |
| AmnesiaUK | erUSUL, nope its working fine, but I'm trying to boot jaunty from a usb stick | 16:33 |
| AmnesiaUK | erUSUL, and it ends up with (initramfs)_ | 16:33 |
| erUSUL | AmnesiaUK: dunno; never tried installing from usb | 16:33 |
| boobsbr | hi, how do i configure glassfish on jaunty? it creates a default domain at /var/lib/glassfish/domains/domain1 which starts automatically using the root user. dpkg can't find the install.pl script | 16:34 |
| AmnesiaUK | erUSUL, ahh okay | 16:34 |
| tonytraductor | I'm going to have to get used to sudo instead of su again | 16:34 |
| AmnesiaUK | erUSUL, but it isn't a problem with my sata controller? | 16:34 |
| salvo | ciaooooo | 16:34 |
| [vali] | tonytraductor, or just sudo bash and then passwd | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | AmnesiaUK: if that's what you see on the logs it is not | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | !hi | salvo | 16:34 |
| ubottu | salvo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 16:34 |
| tonytraductor | oh yeah, for longer root sessions, thanks for the reminder | 16:35 |
| * erUSUL the bot is back yay! | 16:35 | |
| creative83 | AmnesiaUK: You could use smartmontools to check if theres something wrong with your hd/controller. | 16:35 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | [vali] tonytraductor | 16:35 |
| ubottu | [vali] tonytraductor: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 16:35 |
| tonytraductor | sudo go make me a sandwich | 16:35 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: well, asadmin and all the other glassfish thingies still work by the book, so... | 16:35 |
| salvo | hi | 16:35 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: Its not really anything ubuntu specific... | 16:35 |
| AmnesiaUK | erUSUL, well ok:) so I guess it fails cause of the pmp?(since it says retry pmp=0) | 16:35 |
| [vali] | NO, I want to use a real root shell and ill do the way i said :P | 16:36 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo, but i can't configure the default installation. only my personal domains | 16:36 |
| salvo | qualke italiano | 16:36 |
| teapot | glitsj16: Unfortunately, that didn't work. Wireless was not an option after loading the ath_pci driver, but I'm sure I loaded that driver in Arch Linux so I'm quite sure it works. | 16:36 |
| grawity | [vali]: sudo -i _does_ give you a real root shell. | 16:36 |
| erUSUL | AmnesiaUK: i dot give much importance to that messages... it brings up the controller | 16:36 |
| koond0g | what's wrong with Tracker since the upgrade? | 16:36 |
| erUSUL | !it | salvo | 16:36 |
| ubottu | salvo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 16:36 |

| erUSUL | !notes | koond0g known issue check the notes for solution | 16:36 |
| ubottu | koond0g known issue check the notes for solution: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes | 16:36 |
| tonytraductor | 81% | 16:37 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: You can configure the default installation as long as you are switching to the user it's configured for - but it IS more elegant to just have your own domains, yse | 16:37 |
| AmnesiaUK | erUSUL, well thanks for the info:), and sorry for bothering you | 16:37 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: Better not use the default one, actaully. | 16:37 |
| koond0g | sweet, thanks! | 16:37 |
| teapot | glitsj16: I'm trying to get this working because Arch Linux had a much better connection to the wireless than Ubuntu so I'm assuming it's a driver issue. | 16:37 |
| [vali] | I dont like the sudo thing at all... I've been using linux since 95 and the "sudo way" is awfull to me | 16:37 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo, but how can i stop it and make it never start up automatically? | 16:37 |
| erUSUL | [vali]: you are free to do whatever you want including shooting yourself in the foot XD | 16:37 |
| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> did what you suggested and still no mount | 16:37 |
| glitsj16 | teapot: too bad indeed, out of ideas on this one i'm afraid | 16:38 |
| _chun | Is it possible to remove the names/labels from desktop icons? | 16:38 |
| teapot | glitsj16: Alrighty. Thanks all the same. :) | 16:38 |
| [vali] | lol... I dont plan to login with root, only use it the "right" way XDDDD | 16:38 |
| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> the funny thing is that I see my menu.lst when I boot on grub, which means the filesystem isn't corrupted by anymeans | 16:38 |
| tonytraductor | 99% | 16:38 |
| tonytraductor | looks like success! now for reboot | 16:38 |
| wildc4rd | can you allocate network IP's to virtual clients? or do they use the virtualbox host IP | 16:38 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: aah. perhaps it's in /etc/init.d/glassfish? | 16:39 |
| [vali] | wildc4rd, IIRC you can configure it on virtualbox | 16:39 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: or /etc/rcX.d/glassfish | 16:39 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo, ok, did not know about rcX.d directory | 16:40 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu_: grub is loaded on a different partion normaly on hda0 | 16:40 |
| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> I've added grub to all my harddrives | 16:40 |
| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> <sacarlson> check this out http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/527/dsc00080b.jpg | 16:40 |
| teapot | glitsj16: Nevermind! Forgot to do modprobe -r ath5k before modprobe ath_pci! | 16:41 |
| teapot | glitsj16: My connection looks a lot faster now. :D | 16:41 |
| tonytraductor | weird | 16:41 |
| teapot | glitsj16: Thank you very much! :D | 16:41 |
| glitsj16 | teapot: nice catch heh | 16:41 |
| tonytraductor | okay, installation was successful, and it didn't overwrite my former /home partition, but it is not mounting it as /home | 16:41 |
| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 16:41 |
| 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 | 16:41 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo, not in any of the rcX.d directories either there eit | 16:41 |
| tonytraductor | rather, it is treating it as a separate partition, and I have to use my password to access it | 16:42 |
| tonytraductor | I have a /home dir on the / partition | 16:42 |
| tonytraductor | not convenient | 16:42 |
| [vali] | modify your /etc/fstab | 16:43 |
| erUSUL | tonytraductor: you will have to modify your fstab and folder names permissions etc... to make it all work | 16:43 |
| RoosterJuice | does anyone know anything about vi? | 16:43 |
| tonytraductor | all my files are here, but not in /home, rather in /media/disk/tony | 16:43 |
| benovic | what prog can i use to quick and dirty cut .avi videos? Kino is nice, but the DV conversion takes helluvalot time. | 16:44 |
| [vali] | RoosterJuice, only enough to edit files in a simple way | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | RoosterJuice: only that it only has two modes one in which it beeps and one in which it does not XD | 16:44 |
| tonytraductor | is there a way to reconfigure this so that what is now seen as /media/disk can be seen as /home? | 16:44 |
| Kaga | a fresh ubuntu 9.04 install and dpkg or any compiling dont seem to work | 16:44 |
| stew | RoosterJuice: its safe to assume that many people do. just ask your real quetion | 16:44 |
| Kaga | (Reading database ... dpkg: ../../src/filesdb.c:581: findnamenode: Assertion `(*pointerp)->name[0] == '/'' failed. | 16:44 |
| LeeQ | how do I check current HD use via command line? | 16:44 |
| [vali] | tonytraductor, yes, edit /etc/fstab | 16:44 |
| majnoon | Keep making the coffee ,but keep forgetting to turn it ON :( | 16:44 |
| RoosterJuice | how do i add a line in vi? | 16:44 |
| stew | LeeQ: "df" or perhaps "df -h" | 16:44 |
| tonytraductor | oh yeah, | 16:44 |
| benovic | LeeQ df | 16:44 |
| tonytraductor | I don't suppose you could give me a sample line for that | 16:44 |
| stew | RoosterJuice: "o" | 16:44 |
| majnoon | wow | 16:44 |
| [vali] | RoosterJuice, "o" | 16:44 |
| Maqq | RoosterJuice: type "i" for INSERT mode | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | tonytraductor: as already pointed out... modify your fstab (add an entry for your home partition) then if permissions/usernames do not match you will have to modify that too | 16:45 |
| yusuf14 | hi | 16:45 |
| majnoon | who farted?? | 16:45 |
| tonytraductor | what do I have on here for a text editor? | 16:45 |
| RoosterJuice | thanx | 16:45 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: only you can know | 16:45 |
| RoosterJuice | guys | 16:45 |
| LeeQ | benovic: stew: thank you | 16:45 |
| Qwell | Does anybody have an 8.10 desktop box available they could do a very quick test with? I'm trying to confirm exactly what changed here, and it's being a pain... | 16:45 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: but you probably have vi atleast | 16:45 |
| tonytraductor | oh no...no vi, can't go there | 16:45 |
| gartral | majnoon: stay on topic, take OC to #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | Qwell: i'm still in 8.10... | 16:45 |
| tonytraductor | do I have nano, joe, pico? | 16:46 |
| tonytraductor | I can check that | 16:46 |
| [vali] | tonytraductor, it is easy to figure out how to modify your fstab looking at a previous one | 16:46 |
| erUSUL | tonytraductor: nano probably | 16:46 |
| tonytraductor | nano, yes | 16:46 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: vi(m) is much nicer :) | 16:46 |
| Qwell | erUSUL: would you mind a quick msg? it'll be a fast test, if you don't mind helping | 16:46 |
| Mion | (and so is emacs) | 16:46 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo, not in any of the rcX.d directories either | 16:46 |
| tonytraductor | bah, vi/vim sucks | 16:46 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: use emacs then | 16:46 |
| majnoon | gartral, i apologize for fart comment ,but KEEPING the coffe one | 16:46 |
| RoosterJuice | stew, [vali], Maqq how do i exit edit mode? | 16:47 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: and you did check /etc/init.d/glassfish? | 16:47 |
| yusuf141 | i've a problem with my graphics card it's called S3 prosavage .. | 16:47 |
| [vali] | RoosterJuice, "esc" | 16:47 |
| stew | RoosterJuice: esc | 16:47 |
| RoosterJuice | save? | 16:47 |
| [vali] | then ":wq" to exit saving changes | 16:47 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo: yes, that script doesn't exist either | 16:47 |
| Mion | :wq or ZZ | 16:47 |
| Maqq | ctr+shft+zz | 16:47 |
| gartral | majnoon: either case is OT, i think its fair to say another comment like it will earn you a kick, yes? | 16:47 |
| yusuf141 | there is no accelerateing ,, | 16:47 |
| Mion | Maqq: no ctrl | 16:47 |
| Mion | just >> | 16:47 |
| Mion | ZZ* | 16:47 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: odd, it used to be started this way when installed by ubuntu | 16:48 |
| tonytraductor | okay, snanoo I have /etc/fstab up in nano, but I'm a bit lost on how to edit it to make my /home partition /home | 16:48 |
| Maqq | Mion, bah, you're right | 16:48 |
| Qwell | erUSUL: hold 'a', wait 1 second, hold shift, wait 1 second, release shift, wait 1 second, release 'a'. What do you end up with? Did it stop the repeat when you pressed shift, or did it immediately switch the case of the 'a' (to 'A')? | 16:48 |
| yusuf141 | i've a problem with my graphics card it's called S3 prosavage .. | 16:48 |
| tonytraductor | I think the partition is /dev/sda5 (since sda6 is swap and sda7 is now boot, and / is sda1) | 16:48 |
| yusuf141 | how do i fix that ?? | 16:48 |
| Qwell | tonytraductor: you can run fdisk -l to list all partitions | 16:48 |
| Mion | yusuf141: we can't know unless you tell us _exactly_ what the problem is | 16:49 |
| [vali] | time to go... cu guys | 16:49 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo: the package i installed is called "glassfishv2" and not the "glassfish-appserv" | 16:49 |
| erUSUL | Qwell: the later... worked as i spected | 16:49 |
| Mion | yusuf141: "I have a problem with my car, how do I fix that?" | 16:49 |
| tonytraductor | yeah, sda6 | 16:49 |
| Maqq | hehehe | 16:49 |
| gui_ | yoplait | 16:50 |
| Qwell | erUSUL: okay, so that isn't what changed then... back to the beginning. thanks | 16:50 |
| tonytraductor | so, shoud I do something like: /dev/sda6 /home defaults 0 0 | 16:50 |
| gui_ | ca farte le gass | 16:50 |
| erUSUL | Qwell: althought i noticed a very little hiccup the first time shift is pressed... | 16:50 |
| yusuf141 | Mion . ok .. i've S3 prosavage graphics card ,, and the compiz effects doesn't work !!! and any small effects ... | 16:50 |
| Qwell | erUSUL: about 500ms? | 16:50 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: i don't know how this one is started, then... do you run a command or something? | 16:50 |
| Qwell | maybe 250ms even? | 16:50 |
| eternal_p | anyone get VirtualBox 2.2 working with USB | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | Qwell: half a second? do not think so | 16:51 |
| Mion | yusuf141: what driver are you using? | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | Qwell: i can not tell is almost imperceptible | 16:51 |
| yusuf141 | mion ,, graphics card ?? | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | eternal_p: i think you need th virtualbox packages from the vbirualbox homepage. not the version in the repos | 16:51 |
| Qwell | erUSUL: if you do the same thing, except press and release shift many times quickly.. I end up with aaaaaaaaaaAaaAAaaAaaAAaaAaaAAaaAaaaAaaAaaaAAaAAaaAaaAAaaAAaaAaaaAaaaAaaa | 16:51 |
| Mion | yusuf141: btw, even with the correct driver, the support for compositing and 3d on that card is rather lacking | 16:51 |
| Qwell | no pause whatsoever.. | 16:51 |
| tonytraductor | errr, actually¸it's sda6 | 16:51 |
| Mion | not to mention that it's rather slow | 16:51 |
| eternal_p | Dr_Willis: that is what I am using | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | Qwell: or maybe not that unperceptible 250 ms -- 500ms i can concede | 16:52 |
| tonytraductor | sda1 is /boot, sda2 is linux extended (containing /boot), sda5 is /, and sda7 is swap | 16:52 |
| tonytraductor | so sda6 is /home | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | eternal_p: ive gotten it working to read my thumbdrive in the past.. but it was a pain. had to tweak with the vbox settings then i started it up. then i recall twiddling with teh vbox client menus | 16:52 |
| impeachgod | hello folks | 16:52 |
| tonytraductor | I'm just not sure how to edit /etc/fstab accordingly | 16:52 |
| yusuf141 | Mion ok this is the info from the command lspci | 16:52 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo: no, i just installed it through aptitude and it started by itself | 16:53 |
| djiezes | Anybody tried taking an image from Ubuntu 9.04 on ext4 with Clonezilla? Does the most recent clonezilla support it? I just tried with the jaunty20090413 version and it uses dd. I wonder if more recent versions use partimage instead of dd. | 16:53 |
| xray7224 | hey wait a min why is Radtoo in here | 16:53 |
| yusuf141 | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] | 16:53 |
| impeachgod | I am running 9.04 and have no sound; I am using a Samsung laptop with Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with CS4202 | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | Qwell: yes the pause is only the first time you press shift... what are you trying to prove ? | 16:53 |
| impeachgod | I did not change any settings; sound periodically stops working | 16:53 |
| iceroot | are there official cd-labels for lightscribe anywhere? | 16:53 |
| impeachgod | I turned up the volume for everything and tried ALSA and OSS | 16:54 |
| Mion | yusuf141: lspci won't tell you what driver you are using | 16:54 |
| Qwell | erUSUL: that something changed between 8.10 and 9.04. modifiers (I thought all, but I am willing to accept that shift doesn't count) used to stop repeats - even if briefly | 16:54 |
| === m3taindex is now known as indexum | ||
| yusuf141 | mion , how do i know that ? | 16:54 |
| snikker | no one can help me with vlc? | 16:54 |
| StaR | sa | 16:54 |
| Qwell | contrived example: hold F4, press alt. | 16:55 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: Ubuntu would, by default, usually use these files / directories I pointed you at to run something on startup. But I'm not sure if you have even rebooted in the meantime? | 16:55 |
| tonytraductor | ok, googled, I see /dev/sda6 /home nodev/nosuid 0 2 | 16:55 |
| Qwell | That absolutely did not used to close a window. It would be absurd to assume it might. | 16:55 |
| tonytraductor | don't know why nodev,nosuid 0 2, but I'll try that | 16:55 |
| Mion | yusuf141: your xorg.conf will show you that | 16:55 |
| Mion | and if you don't have one, the xorg log will | 16:55 |
| tonytraductor | will I have to reboot to get it mounted properly? or will logging out of X and back in implement the new /etc/fstab? | 16:56 |
| yusuf141 | mion , oh good i'm gonna to see (: | 16:56 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: umount the partion and mount -a | 16:56 |
| abama | mount one device to mountpoint and driver module loaded, when umount , how to unload the module at the same time? | 16:56 |
| mweichert | hello, I'm trying to use Ubuntu 8.04 with the Jaunty kernel (.2.6.28)... I installed the Jaunty kernel packages, rebooted, and voila - I'm on 2.8.28 (gotta love linux for that capability). However, I'm having network issues. Network Manager detects my NIC, but never gets an ip assigned to it. If I manually do "sudo dhclient eth2" I can see that a successful lease is found, but then "ifconfig" doesn't display anything | 16:56 |
| Mion | abama: you have to do that explicitly | 16:56 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo: I usually look for startup scripts in /etc/init.d. and no, I haven't rebooted since the installation, do you think it would help? | 16:56 |
| abama | Mion, what should i do that explicitly? | 16:57 |
| yusuf141 | mion , do i have pastebin it ?? | 16:57 |
| Radtoo | boobsbr: It is entirely possible that apt just started a glassfish server with a domain for you, once, and that this default domain doesn't get started automatically the next time anyways. | 16:57 |
| Pici | tonytraductor: sudo mount -a will check /etc/fstab and mount things that are not mounted. | 16:57 |
| boobsbr | Radtoo, thanks for you support, i will try to reboot | 16:58 |

| tonytraductor | it says /dev/sda6 already mounted or /home busy | 16:58 |
| tonytraductor | rebooting | 16:58 |
| abama | Mion, i have one question about the load/unload module for usb device | 16:59 |
| yusuf141 | mion , here it's http://pastebin.com/m14d0cece | 16:59 |
| indus | NICK | 16:59 |
| ienorand | mweichert: try disabling n-m and do everything manually, it's a last resort but there have been cases where n-m have borked and interfered with manual setup, just a shot. | 16:59 |
| Mion | abama: just let udev load the module you need for you, and don't bother with unloading it (unless it breaks something) | 17:00 |
| yusuf141 | mion , where are you ?? | 17:00 |
| tonytraductor | uhoh...some error with e2fsck, trouble mounting /dev/sda6 | 17:00 |
| Mion | when the module is loaded but not in use, the only thing it does is to take up a few kb of ram | 17:00 |
| yusuf141 | Mion // i've opened the XORG.conf ,now what ?? | 17:01 |
| Mion | yusuf141: my tip is to just give up on compiz with that card. | 17:01 |
| Mion | the drivers are less than good, and the card is slow | 17:01 |
| joshjtl | tonytraductor: I dont see a fullduplex button | 17:01 |
| ienorand | tonytraductor: you running fsck from a drive and on that drive? | 17:02 |
| tonytraductor | okay, for some reason, it is mounting /dev/sda6, but not as /home, and thus, not using the configuration I gave to /etc/fstab, or something | 17:02 |
| tonytraductor | I'm not fscking at the moment, no | 17:02 |
| abama | Mion, my problem is just how to unload module when umount one device | 17:02 |
| yusuf141 | mion , ok thank you ,., | 17:02 |
| Mion | abama: you can't do that automagically without a lot of hacking | 17:02 |
| ienorand | tonytraductor: Ah, misunderstod. | 17:02 |
| amgarching | how do I "ls" a directory tree with a tree-like output? | 17:03 |
| Mion | abama: and there really isn't a reason to do it either, unless the module conflicts with something else you want to use | 17:03 |
| Mion | amgarching: tree | 17:03 |
| tonytraductor | I put "/dev/sda6 /home ext2 nodev,nosuid 0 2" in /etc/fstab, but it is not mounting /dev/sda6 as/home | 17:03 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: sure it is ext2 | 17:03 |
| abama | Mion, one requirment needs to do that | 17:03 |
| glitsj16 | amgarching: ls -l ? | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !find tree | 17:03 |
| ubottu | Found: device-tree-compiler, konqueror-plugin-domtreeviewer, libhtml-tree-perl, python2.5, python2.6 (and 38 others) | 17:03 |
| joshjtl | Can anyone help me get audacity to record mic? I can hear my mic quite loudly but cannot record | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall a tree command.. or somthing like that. | 17:03 |
| tonytraductor | it was before I did this install | 17:04 |
| tonytraductor | how do I check that? | 17:04 |
| tonytraductor | fdisk -l doesn't tell me | 17:04 |
| mweichert | ienorand, thanks, I'll try that. | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | !info tree | 17:04 |
| ubottu | tree (source: tree): displays directory tree, in color. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.2.1-1 (jaunty), package size 29 kB, installed size 96 kB | 17:04 |
| Mion | abama: you could hack in some udev stuff to automaticly rmmod the module, but it will be ugly, just rmmod it yourself explicitly, if you absolutly have to | 17:04 |
| mweichert | any idea how to make linux reset all device nodes? I only have two nics and they are detected as eth2 and eth3... I'm not sure why not eth0 and eth1 | 17:04 |
| Mion | abama: what module is it btw? | 17:04 |
| Lint01 | is there some tool to view chart of directory sizes on device? | 17:05 |
| Mion | Lint01: lots | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Lint01: ive seen sevarl in the package manager listings | 17:05 |
| Mion | Lint01: both gui, ncurses and html | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Lint01: depends on exactly how ya want it done. | 17:05 |

| abama | Mion, it's usb-storage.ko, scsi emulation for mass storage devices. the main reason is two devices, one is scsi CD-ROM sr1, the other is scsi generic sg2 type 5, i just need the sg2, and want to unload the sr1 | 17:07 |
| manish | any one help me | 17:07 |

| ELoXL | As someone who's on 9.0.4 as their first Ubuntu OS I found this link to be very useful to get things started in this new world: http://ubuntutip.googlepages.com/thefirstthingstodo | 17:07 |
| tonytraductor | how to I use mount with remount option? tried mount -a, but get error | 17:08 |
| Mion | abama: just rmmod it? | 17:08 |
| defrysk | try sudo mount -a | 17:08 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: umount /dev/sda6 | 17:08 |
| Mion | mount -a | 17:08 |
| abama | Mion, not that, umount /media/DTMxxx | 17:08 |
| ELoXL | i recommend that manish | 17:08 |
| tonytraductor | hmmm, says /dev/sda6 not mounted (so apparently /home busy is the issue) | 17:09 |
| ienorand | kesiode: see if you can run the updates using synaptic (system menu) instead? | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ELoXL: its not very good that The site you listed suggests using envy-ng from the start. :) its best to use the repo versions of drivers instead If they work. | 17:09 |
| Mion | tonytraductor: man mount, or telinit 1 and then umount /dev/sda6 | 17:09 |
| manish | i installed the driver but some time printer garbaz | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ELoXL: at least they make a note to try envy-gtk last.. but the note should be at teh 'start' of the 'use envy-gtk' paragraph heh.. :) | 17:10 |

| manish | but i have lot of printer problem with ubuntu | 17:11 |

| manish | any one suggest me good site for printer problem | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ELoXL: ubuntu-studio just has some different default pacages i think.. it might be using a different kernel.. but im not sure on that. | 17:12 |
| nA1828KcFz9q | Hello. What do I need to place in xorg.conf to replicate the command, "xset fp+ /usr/local/share/fonts/bitmap"? | 17:13 |
| ELoXL | np, thx | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | manish: cups.org for the printer-drivers homepage.. is a good strt | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | manish: canon printers can be a pain | 17:13 |
| tonytraductor | okay, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6264db29 | 17:13 |

| ienorand | tonytraductor: so the line "gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/tony/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon rw,nosuid,nodev,user=tony 0 0" seems to imply that you have still something mounted on home. | 17:14 |
| ELoXL | I've been looking for an answer and have come across nothing. I've run some apps that have utilized my camcorder, but no luck with skype to set up such a connection. | 17:15 |
| tonytraductor | yeah, home busy, but I don't know why... | 17:15 |
| tonytraductor | it's not mounting the separate partition as /home | 17:15 |
| ienorand | tonytraductor: I'm not sure if you'd just use "umount /home/tony" to fix it... | 17:15 |
| tonytraductor | so the /home that exists is that on / | 17:16 |

| Dr_Willis | Usage: ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] <device|image_file> <mount_point> | 17:42 |

| Shadow_Sam | hi all. how can I perform graphically things like create folder, links when I need to be root? | 17:43 |
| tonytraductor | perhaps part of my problem is that I need the .dmrc and .ICEauthority from the /home/tony on / to be in the partition I'm trying to mount as /home, maybe? | 17:43 |

| Shadow_Sam | Weedy: I do already. I just know if has this option | 17:44 |
| Weedy | Shadow_Sam: sudo <filemanager> if you still refuse | 17:44 |
| Slart | !gksudo | 17:44 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 17:44 |

| oipat | So apperantly the closed source driver for older ATI cards doesn't work well with xorg 1.6, and I'm stuck with the open source one, which leave me with poor performance. Can I expect ATi to release 1.6 compatible drivers for older cards, or can I just trash the laptop / revert to an older version of xorg? | 17:55 |
| ienorand | ubuntistas: if you quit all applications related to it you should be able to unmount it by right-clicking either on desktop or in fole browser. | 17:55 |
| ienorand | ubuntistas: *file browser | 17:56 |
| miha | oipat: ATI doesnt provide newest windows catalyst drivers for older cards either, just windows have longer release cycles :) | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | oipat: i doubt if ati will do much for older cards. They might release specs some day.. but lets just say ati's history is not promising in that area | 17:56 |
| miha | ati finally did fglrx to support desktop effects | 17:56 |
| ubuntistas | i don't get it ienorand what's unmount | 17:57 |

| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: do you know about that option in windows : safely remove hardware ? | 17:57 |
| gartral | !mount | ubuntistas | 17:57 |
| ubottu | ubuntistas: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis | miha: i normally disable them anyway. | 17:57 |
| miha | Dr_Willis those effects are great | 17:57 |
| miha | but buggy | 17:57 |
| oipat | miha: So newer ATI cards doesn't work well with 1.6 either? | 17:57 |
| ienorand | gartral: not really on the level we want :/ | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis | miha: theres perhaps 2 that actually are usefull.. rest are just to show off. :P | 17:58 |
| ubuntistas | pronoy yes | 17:58 |
| ubuntistas | so? | 17:58 |
| tonytraductor | okay, it seems that I've successfully gotten it to mount my separate partition as /home, but apparently that /home is missing something essential, which is not allowing me to log in to gnome | 17:58 |
| ubuntistas | what's mount and what's unmount pronoy | 17:58 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: unmounting and mounting is like that only | 17:58 |
| davidf88 | mount and umount are just unmounting and mounting respectivly | 17:58 |
| tonytraductor | since I didn't move the install generated home, but tried to use my existing home from the PCLOS install, it's missing something | 17:58 |

| Dr_Willis | yowshi: the site mentions a simile rproblem with scanners. | 18:23 |
| nanomad | ubuntistas, well, it dependes on what version of libmpt gnomad2 is linked to. You should fill a bug (if the zen v is even supported by gnomad2) | 18:23 |
| yusuf14 | how do i activate the 2D effects in ubuntu 9.04 // using S3 prosavage graphics card ??? | 18:23 |

| ubuntistas | zen v plus player and it does not work with jaunty now but i t recognizes it in rhythmbox and it's showing me the icon in desktop but i wanna use gnomad nanomad | 18:23 |
| yowshi | nanomad: Dr_Willis well it getas an image with sudo but crashed when i tried recording. i had to kill it :( | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis | yowshi: check that URL under 'part 9' | 18:23 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad . why .. just the 2D effects ... | 18:24 |
| jals | hi, i used to use kde, now i use gnome, but i still have the kubuntu loading logo at startup, is there a way to change that? | 18:24 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, you mean compiz? | 18:24 |
| yusuf14 | not compiz or something like thst | 18:24 |
| yusuf14 | nooooo | 18:24 |
| pronoy_ | jals: thats called the usplash image | 18:24 |
| yusuf14 | i just wanna the 2D effects | 18:24 |
| nanomad | yusuf14 ah | 18:24 |
| jals | cheers pronoy_ i'll google | 18:24 |
| yowshi | Dr_Willis: is there a command line function for this it isnt asking me for a password but it is saying i dont have access to do that | 18:24 |
| yusuf14 | yes | 18:24 |
| skippy_ | How do i search for installed programs in ubuntu? I have installed vmware workstation but don't know how to start it | 18:25 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, the splash screen? | 18:25 |
| yusuf14 | it's called . "desktop effects " | 18:25 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, so, it is compiz | 18:25 |
| yusuf14 | really . i didn't know .. | 18:25 |
| aspidites | skippy_: in synaptic search for vmware again. i think there is a files tab at the bottom that will show installed files | 18:25 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, what does xdriinfo says in a terminal? | 18:26 |
| thiagoss | I'm using an apt-get repository from my university, but I'm getting "gpg error: .... jaunty release, the following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" when doing apt-get update. How to solve this? | 18:26 |
| skippy_ | aspidites: i installed it from a .rpm/.deb file, it doesnt exist in synaptic | 18:26 |
| yusuf14 | nanmad | 18:26 |
| krphop | is there a command to show what files a particular package will install? | 18:26 |
| skippy_ | and i need to know the command to start it, "vmware-workstation" doesn't work | 18:26 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad ,Screen 0: savage | 18:26 |
| nanomad | krphop, after a package is installaed, you can use dpkg -L pkgname | 18:27 |
| Pici | krphop: If its not installed you'd need to install apt-file first (then sudo apt-file update), then you can do apt-file show packagename | 18:27 |
| aspidites | skippy_: ah. i think vmware executable is caps. so ls /usr/bin/VM* might find it | 18:27 |
| aspidites | skippy_: don't have ubuntu so i don't know the command to query installed packages. | 18:27 |
| calrik | thiagoss: you need to get your universities gpg key and install that first | 18:27 |
| bullgard4 | Why is there no 'man watchdog'? My Ubuntu 8.10 shows a process which has been issued by the 'watchdog/0' command. | 18:27 |
| ghindo | How do I make a directory accessible to all users? | 18:27 |
| aspidites | skippy_: also, i thought synaptic tracked all installed debs, not just ones existing in the repo | 18:27 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad , this is the output Screen 0: savage | 18:28 |
| yusuf14 | 18:28 | |
| nanomad | yusuf14, what happens if you enable desktop effects | 18:28 |
| parapanghelescu | hi there ......I have a problem ///// I try to install Ubuntu on a Second drive ....hdb ..this second drive is also de boot drive, having winxp on it...where I should install de bootloader ? grub ? | 18:28 |
| aspidites | skippy_: in other words, while you can't install from synaptic by default, because it is now installed, synaptic should pick it up | 18:28 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad , could not enable desktop effects | 18:28 |
| thiagoss | calrik: how to do that? | 18:28 |
| aspidites | skippy_: at least, that's how my package manager works (pacman) | 18:28 |
| bullgard4 | ghindo: Use the chmod command. | 18:28 |
| skippy_ | aspidites: searched for it and the only one i found was "xserver-xorg-video-vmware" but i dont think its that | 18:28 |
| ghindo | bullgard4: Like, chmod 777 /directory? | 18:29 |
| tonytraductor | can't find teacup in synaptic | 18:29 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, type compiz --replace in a terminal | 18:29 |
| aspidites | skippy_: did you try the ls idea? ls "/usr/bin/VM*" | 18:29 |
| bullgard4 | ghindo: Yes. But this is not always advisable for security reasons. | 18:29 |
| thiagoss | calrik: all the repositories download fine, only 'stable/main' complais about it. Is this ok? | 18:29 |
| tonytraductor | should be part of tcl | 18:29 |
| m0RrE | is it possible to change the encryption key for my home directory? | 18:30 |
| nanomad | ubuntistas, gnomad2 only supports Creative Nomad Jukeboxes AFAIK | 18:30 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad . then what ?? | 18:30 |
| mattgyver[L] | When installing ubuntu, is it possible to put the swap partition before ubuntu's partition, or must it always follow? | 18:30 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, did dekstop effect start? | 18:30 |
| bullgard4 | ghindo: An alternative is using Nautilus. | 18:30 |
| rdw200169 | mattgyver[L], it doesn't matter. if you do the partitioning manually, you can have it anyway you want | 18:30 |
| hawk | mattgyver[L]: I don't think the order actually matters... | 18:30 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: you can put it anywhere. you could put it on a nother hard drive ifyou wanted | 18:30 |
| skippy_ | aspidites: yes, didnt find it there.. the strange thing is I tried apt-get remove vmware-workstation and that worked, but i cant start it with just the "vmware-workstation" | 18:30 |
| mattgyver[L] | Thank you | 18:30 |
| ghindo | bullgard4: I'm trying to do it over an ssh session | 18:30 |
| yowshi | why is not the root user allowed to log into the gui | 18:30 |
| rdw200169 | mattgyver[L], you can even have several swaps across several hard drives | 18:30 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad . no it's not | 18:31 |
| Dunge | I want to display in a markup label any text an user can write, so I used g_markup_escape_text() to be sure it don't mess with markup formating. It works great for a-z chars, but if I send in a special char like "À" it crash. Displaying À in the label without markup escaping works fine. Tried to find solution in Google, but all I can find is bug reports.. anyone have a better solution? | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: or no swap at all. :) | 18:31 |
| nanomad | yowshi, because there is no root user in ubuntu ;) | 18:31 |
| rdw200169 | mattgyver[L], but the swap partition should never be used, you *should* have enough ram that you never need it ;) | 18:31 |
| calrik | thiagoss: system > administration > software sources > authentication > import key file... | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | 'direct logging in as root is disabled' theres still a 'root' account. | 18:31 |
| yowshi | nanomad: there is a root password though | 18:31 |
| thiagoss | calrik: thanks! | 18:31 |
| nanomad | yowshi, no | 18:31 |
| nanomad | yowshi, sudo asks for the user password (not root one) | 18:31 |
| aspidites | skippy_: yeah. i'm sure they name their executable differently. give me just a sec | 18:32 |
| rdw200169 | yowshi, even if you enabled root, you can't log into X with root | 18:32 |
| mattgyver[L] | how do you determine how large your swap partition should be? In the even that you want, or need it. | 18:32 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, paste the output of compiz --replace into a pastebin | 18:32 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad , ok | 18:32 |
| parapanghelescu | hi there ......I have a problem ///// I try to install Ubuntu on a Second drive ....hdb ..this second drive is also de boot drive, having winxp on it...where I should install de bootloader ? grub ? | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: i always make one about 512mb in size.. just in case. :) i rarely use it on my 2gb ram systems. | 18:32 |
| rdw200169 | yowshi, the security problems that come with logging into the gui with root are waay to bad | 18:32 |
| mattgyver[L] | ok | 18:32 |
| gartral | does anyone know anything about vegastrike? | 18:32 |
| yowshi | rdw200169: yeah but it also hidners experienced users from using the gui to wsolve problems | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: put grub on the first hd if you want to use it. or if you put it on the 2nd hd.. you may have to use the bios menus/features to tell the pc to boot that 2ndhard drive | 18:33 |
| zealiod | how do i allow www-data user to access programs in the /etc/bin | 18:33 |
| nanomad | parapanghelescu, on the boot sector of the boot drive | 18:33 |
| rdw200169 | yowshi, an experienced user would *never* do that ;) | 18:33 |
| yowshi | rdw200169: i had to run the users-admin command from a super user terminal | 18:33 |
| aspidites | skippy_: see if the command you need is here : http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-search.en.html | 18:33 |
| yusuf14 | nanomad , here it is ==> http://pastebin.com/m6da8f3b6 | 18:33 |

| Iowahc | hy there, after the todays update, my hsdpa device is no more listed in networkmanager | 18:33 |
| sacarlson | zealiod: I thought www-data could run etc/bin already | 18:33 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, your video card is not supported in compiz | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis | zealiod: clarify to the channel what you are trying to acomplish. there is no /etc/bin and why would tha tuser need to access any binary? | 18:33 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, so no dekstop effects | 18:34 |
| Iowahc | It also doesn't realizes the external monitor connected to my notebook | 18:34 |
| sacarlson | zealiod: opps I'm wrong /usr/bin | 18:34 |
| Dr_Willis | zealiod: unless theres some other confusion going on.. :) | 18:34 |
| rdw200169 | Iowahc, the monitor issue is *not* related to NetworkManager | 18:34 |
| yusuf14 | :-( , ok , so you mean i've to remove ubuntu from my pc ?? | 18:34 |
| Dunge | I want to display in a markup label any text an user can write, so I used g_markup_escape_text() to be sure it don't mess with markup formating.

| nanomad | clearscreen, your are welcome | 18:36 |
| skippy_ | aspidites: ah.. yes i can see where its installed now, thanks :) | 18:36 |
| sacarlson | zealiod: so you would have to setup sudo to handle that | 18:36 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: if the 2nd drive is set to boot.. then it should be showing up as the first hard drive is how ive seen it happen. | 18:36 |
| icarus-c | m0RrE: man cryptsetup | 18:36 |
| aspidites | clarezoe: are usb modules loading correctly at boot? | 18:36 |
| rdw200169 | parapanghelescu, that seriously depends on your BIOS and what its reporting to grub... if that has *always* been your boot drive, chances are, its hd0... if you use grub-install, you can specify the /dev/sd* nomenclature instead, which is a little more reliable than the vagueness of grub hd0, hd1 naming from the device map... | 18:36 |
| Pici | joeyy: This is a support channel, not a discussion channel. | 18:36 |
| nanomad | yusuf14, i think so | 18:36 |

| yusuf14 | is the compiz works ?? | 18:36 |
| icarus-c | m0RrE: look at luksAddKey/luksRemoveKey | 18:36 |

| darcknight | i have come here as the last resort... i installed ubuntu 8.04 a few days back. i had 7 partitions. but suddenly outta the blue i decided to shrink 4 partitons into one those being /home /junk /av and /pix... now ubuntu wont cross the fschk | 18:41 |
| parapanghelescu | dr_willis > so this means ...if my bios is seeing the boot drive as being the second drive ...meaning hd1 ...and on hd1 I also have Win installed .....grub must be installed here in order to give me the posibility to choose between OS's NO ? | 18:41 |
| michael_ | is there anything i can do on the live cd to help recognize them again | 18:41 |
| ubuntistas | icarus-c then? | 18:41 |
| nanomad | tj83, well, i've never heard of that. Maybe a faulty chipset kernel module? You should open a bug indeed | 18:41 |
| icarus-c | ubuntistas: does it come with a configure script | 18:41 |
| michael_ | i can only boot to cd.. and when i try to install ubuntu using the live cd no hard drive partitions are found | 18:41 |
| aminh | Pici: ok how would i add the user to the admin group? | 18:42 |
| pep | Is it possible that my mobile intel graphics card is no longer supported natively with jaunty? | 18:42 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: ive seen some machinew where if i boot the 4th hard drive.. that drive became 'sda' (ie the first hard drive) ive seen other machines that if i boot the 4th hard drive..it does NOT become sda. SO.. it depends. | 18:42 |
| xcitu | !ask Got problem with internet connection. I get "Connection enabled" message with network through router, but can't use any programs that require internet. Tried to ping, no luck. Can't even open Google.com. | 18:42 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:42 |
| thiagoss | calrik: quick question, do I still need to add keys even if the repository is a copy of the original jaunty repositories? The key refers to the server or to the packages? | 18:42 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: you can go to the terminal and cd to that folder and run ./configure | 18:42 |
| tj83 | nomad also mind you that the first time this happen i suspected the drive, so i moved the partition to different physical area and the previous area now holds xp and xp is fine and the new location corrupted , i have used hitiachi diagnostics, windows to test, esfsck all good. | 18:42 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: i got around it by just installing grub on ALL the hard drives. :) | 18:42 |
| aspidites | !passwd | 18:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about passwd | 18:42 |
| aspidites | aminh: try man passwd | 18:42 |
| icarus-c | ubuntistas: basically, ./configure && make && make install is the most common install method | 18:43 |
| nanomad | tj83, then open a bug | 18:43 |
| parapanghelescu | dr_willis > damn man :)) OK ..what if the win doesnt start anymore ....what should I do ? how can I overcome this ? | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: then you fix it.. :) | 18:43 |
| defrysk | sudo make install | 18:43 |
| calrik | thiagoos: the server | 18:43 |
| Bor | Hi Alle | 18:43 |
| nanomad | icarus-c, i would use checkinstall instead of make install | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: grub can easially boot windows most of the time/. | 18:43 |
| ubuntistas | i wanna install gnomad2-2.9.4 can anyone tell me the steps i don't get it | 18:43 |
| ubuntistas | ? | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: grub is one of those tools that it pays to learn very well. | 18:43 |
| jawall | stupid question, but.. wireless works in gnome, but nothing shows up in the sys tray in kde to connect through wireless... | 18:43 |
| a4ck | wodim: Cannot load media with this drive! | 18:44 |
| a4ck | wodim: Try to load media by hand. | 18:44 |
| a4ck | wodim: Cannot load media. | 18:44 |
| parapanghelescu | dr_willis > that's my question > HOW to fix-it ? what commands should I use ??? | 18:44 |
| icarus-c | nanomad: good idea | 18:44 |
| jawall | how to I connect wirelessly in KDe and put the notification int eh sys tray | 18:44 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: extract the folder on your desktop | 18:44 |
| aspidites | ubuntistas: i'd make sure to keep the src directory around to make uninstalling easier. if you want to uninstall the compiled package, just "sudo make uninstall" from the src directory | 18:44 |
| Pici | aminh: useradd -G admin theusername | 18:44 |
| nanomad | ubuntistas, are you sure gnomad supports the zen v? AFAIK it only supports the Creative Jukebox | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: depends on what you want.. windowws has its own tools to restore the MBR boot loader.. or you use the proper grub entrys to boot the windows machine | 18:44 |
| ubuntistas | iam sure | 18:44 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: then using terminal cd to that folder on your desktop | 18:44 |
| pep | I have a Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller on my Thinkpad R61, it worked fine with the previous releases, but with Jaunty I can't enable desktop effects anymore although direct rendering is activated and glxgears runs smoothly at 770+fps... how come? | 18:44 |
| ubuntistas | how to cd pronoy? | 18:44 |
| Dracofodder | nanomad: , is the apt-cache listing valid? I'd hate to force dependancy to find out I don't even have the dang dependacy installed. | 18:45 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: you write cd Desktop on the terminal | 18:45 |
| parapanghelescu | well, on win, I can start with the live CD and them give the fixmbr command ....but then I'll loose the Ubuntu installation | 18:45 |
| aminh | Pici: k so i will do 'useradd -G admin webadmin' but webadmin is already an existing user is that fine? | 18:45 |
| yaaar | any backuppc gurus round here? i've got a host that "says" it's backing up, but there's no traffic moving... | 18:45 |
| === Bor is now known as DrKtO | ||
| Pici | aminh: yep, thats fine | 18:45 |
| nanomad | Dracofodder, yes | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: then you boot live cd and restore grub to wheveer you want. | 18:45 |
| parapanghelescu | my question is if there are any commands to do it less painfull :d | 18:45 |
| Dracofodder | nanomad: here is what I get: | 18:45 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: then "ls" look for the folder name and write "cd <foldername> | 18:45 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: without the quotes | 18:45 |
| nanomad | Dracofodder, actually, no. Just install the dependecy manually first | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | parapanghelescu: you want to use GRUB to boot both windows and linux? or want to use the bios to boot one OS or the other from the hard drive? | 18:46 |
| tonytraductor | here's another headache...I installed KDE, but it doesn't appear in my session options in the login screen | 18:46 |
| ubuntistas | come on pronoy i don't get it | 18:46 |
| aminh | Pici: do i need to restart the server for the changes to take place? | 18:46 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: ok once more.....listen carefully | 18:46 |
| parapanghelescu | yeap > using groob to boot win and linux .....to choose from each one ...at the boot sequence | 18:46 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: open the tar.gz file and extract the file to your desktop ....do that first | 18:46 |
| Pici | aminh: You'll need to relogin as that user, and/or restart the processes that the user is running for the change to take effect. | 18:47 |
| BaronM | Hi all. Someone there who was able to install VMware 1.0.9 on Jaunty? | 18:47 |
| aspidites | tonytraductor: you could always try using kdm instead of gdm | 18:47 |
| tj83 | !grub | parapanghelescu, | 18:47 |
| ubottu | parapanghelescu,: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 18:47 |
| ubuntistas | i extracted the whole folder then pronoy | 18:47 |
| aminh | Pici: when i do adduser doesn't it ask me for a passowrd....since this is an existing user will it ask me to reset the password? | 18:47 |
| Dracofodder | nanomad: how to find it? the apt-cahe command showed this http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m18767bce | 18:47 |
| parapanghelescu | tj83 > cool man | 18:47 |
| Pici | aminh: It shouldn;t. | 18:48 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: good...open the terminal | 18:48 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: type cd Desktop | 18:48 |
| aspidites | tonytraductor: or maybe gdm needs to be restarted before it'll recognize the kde session. also make sure kde is actually in the sessions folder | 18:48 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: done ? | 18:48 |
| ubuntistas | ok pronoy then? | 18:48 |
| mattgyver[L] | Dr_Willis, should a swap be a logical, or primary partition? | 18:48 |
| aspidites | mattgyver[L]: primary | 18:49 |
| nanomad | Dracofodder, install libltdl7 and then try again to install the driver | 18:49 |
| gartral | how do i mount an ext2 fs (on a flash disk) into my home dir without using mount? | 18:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: dosent matter | 18:49 |
| mattgyver[L] | thank you. | 18:49 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: now type ls this will give you a whole list.....and look for the folder name.....that you extracted | 18:49 |
| Dracofodder | nanomad: thanks! | 18:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: i always use primaries if i can | 18:49 |
| nanomad | Dracofodder, care to post a link to that driver? | 18:49 |
| aspidites | gartral: change your fstab? | 18:49 |
| xcitu | !ask Got problem with internet connection. I get "Connection enabled" message with network through router, but can't use any programs that require internet. Tried to ping, no luck. Can't even open Google.com. | 18:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:49 |
| nanomad | Dracofodder, i want to check the .deb package | 18:49 |
| mattgyver[L] | Dr_Willis, Thats what im use to using, i dont really know what logical is for ';\ | 18:49 |
| ubuntistas | yup i see it | 18:49 |
| BlueAidan_work | does the standard install cd support encrypted home dir / swap or is that on the alternate install disk? | 18:49 |
| ubuntistas | pronoy | 18:49 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: now issue this command : cd followed by the folder name | 18:49 |
| gartral | aspidites: right... what do i add, and where? | 18:49 |
| Dracofodder | sure found it here.. http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL2.do | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: ifyou want more then 4 parittions on a hard drive you must use logicals | 18:50 |
| raven_ | i'm trying to muxx a video and a ac3 audio file with FFMPEG ... -> at least one output file..... - what am i doing wrong? tnx... | 18:50 |
| aspidites | !fstab | 18:50 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 18:50 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: done ? | 18:50 |
| nanomad | BlueAidan_work, alternate if i recall correctly | 18:50 |
| aspidites | !fstab | gartral | 18:50 |
| mattgyver[L] | ok, thanks :) | 18:50 |
| ubottu | gartral: please see above | 18:50 |
| admin_masu3701 | how to i make stuff that i download go to /download in ubuntu? | 18:50 |
| Dracofodder | nanomad: was loooking for the Epson NX400 all in one, so I could get the scanner to work... printer works fine. | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: its to overcome old limittions in hard drive tech over the years. :) | 18:50 |
| tj83 | mattgyver[L], 4 primary per drive, logical gives you the ablility to have extended partitions like Dr_Willis says | 18:50 |
| nanomad | Dracofodder, where did you got that driver? | 18:50 |
| aspidites | xcitu: what does ifconfig yield? | 18:50 |
| ubuntistas | yes pronoy | 18:50 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: so now you are in that folder ...ok ? | 18:51 |
| xcitu | I will check. | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: i find life is MUCH easier if just stick to 4 primaries tops. | 18:51 |
| pronoy_ | ubuntistas: you can now issue this command : ./configure | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mattgyver[L]: plus i rarely need more then 4 parittions | 18:51 |
| aspidites | xcitu: if it's wireless, also check the output of iwconfig | 18:51 |
| === pronoy_ is now known as pronoy | ||
| Dracofodder | nanomad: http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL2.do | 18:51 |
| nanomad | pronoy_, you should enable libmpt and other things in that configure AFAIK | 18:51 |
| Kae | hi | 18:51 |
| * tj83 agrees with Dr_Willis unless you milti-boot as i do, Vista, XP, Fedora, Ubuntu, and storage area lol | 18:51 | |
| yowshi | hmmm cheese crashed and now apparebntly nothing else can use /dev/video0 | 18:51 |
| aspidites | xcitu: more than likely though if you can connect to the router but not internet, you should double check your router settings | 18:51 |
| pronoy | nanomad: if there is a dependency issue it will show by not compiling | 18:51 |
| nanomad | pronoy, not with libmtp since it is optional | 18:52 |
| aspidites | sorry to leave you all hanging, but i gotta go | 18:52 |
| === Graever is now known as Griver | ||
| pronoy | nanomad: not sure i get you | 18:52 |

| jonaskoelker | Dracofodder: thanks for the link; the source fails to build | 18:52 |
| jonaskoelker | Dracofodder: oops, wrong nick | 18:52 |
| jonaskoelker | Dr_Willis: thanks for the link; the source fails to build | 18:52 |
| jonaskoelker | Dracofodder: but a nice evening to you anyways :) | 18:53 |
| nanomad | pronoy, libmtp is an optional component of gnomad2 (it will work event if not installed), but if it is not found, the zen v wont work | 18:53 |
| admin_masu3701 | how to i make stuff that i download go to /download in ubuntu? | 18:53 |
| jonaskoelker | Dr_Willis: is !tvout what you're doing yourself | 18:53 |
| Kae | I'll soon find out | 18:53 |
| tj83 | jonaskoelker, i dont know your issue, but i assume you installed build-essential | 18:53 |
| pronoy | ubuntistas: ok so now this thing is dependent on gtk2 and libnjib ok ? therefore you need to install these two first......so you can that by searching for that package on the net or using apt-get | 18:53 |
| nanomad | Dracofodder, doesent xsane see your scanner (I'm trying to decipher that page now) | 18:53 |
| zloog | Is there a way I can map control + L:eft Arrow key to the Home key? | 18:53 |

| jawall | kde doesn't even have anythign in the systray for it | 18:54 |
| nanomad | pronoy, ubuntu has an older version | 18:54 |
| aminh | Pici: i did this: sudo useradd -G admin webadmin, and it says user webadmin exists | 18:54 |

| tonytraductor | I'm getting extremely frustrated | 18:54 |
| nanomad | ubuntistas, sorry to sound boring, but how do you know that gnomad2 works with the zen V? | 18:55 |
| pronoy | nanomad: what's it called .....and then why not install that ? | 18:55 |
| mweichert | when I have a samba share with "guest only = yes", I cannot connect to it from a Windows computer that is joined to a domain... any other client is fine | 18:55 |
| tonytraductor | I think I'm going to reinstall, wipe the /home partition, and then restore my files from backup, maybe that will work | 18:55 |
| nanomad | pronoy, gnomad2, but he says it does not work | 18:55 |
| jonaskoelker | bleh | 18:55 |

| xcitu | Got problem with internet connection. I get "Connection enabled" message with network through router, but can't use any programs that require internet. Tried to ping, no luck. Can't even open Google.com. | 18:55 |
| tonytraductor | I don't undeerstand why KDE was not automagically added to session, fluxbox was | 18:56 |
| Dracofodder | nanomad: no it doesn't, thats what brought me down the road looking for drivers. | 18:56 |
| nanomad | tonytraductor, you need to add kde to gdm? | 18:56 |
| pronoy | ubuntistas: ok you know go to terminal and issue this command sudo apt-get install gnomad2 | 18:56 |

| nanomad | Johnny_B_Good, whats wrong with recordmydekstop | 19:05 |
| tonytraductor | frac...everytime I try to log into gnome (and now kde) it says $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored, should have 644 permissions, but I've chmoded it about 4 times now | 19:05 |
| ubuntistas | u mean software sources pronoy? | 19:05 |
| tonytraductor | oh, kdeabase-workspace did add kde to my sessions menu, thanks | 19:05 |
| Magician | voxis: did you download the image and then burn it | 19:05 |
| xcitu | Magician: I've tried, but it doesn't work. I can plug in, but it will only show that the internet get disconnected, even though I plugged it in. | 19:06 |
| Voxis | although I have also tried booting from hard disk and it did nothing after saying opening browser | 19:06 |
| pronoy | nanomad: why didn't i think of that.......thanks but i think it would also help if all his repos are enabled | 19:06 |
| bc | what does it take to get disk label changes on internal disks to take effect? remounting seems not to do it. | 19:06 |
| tonytraductor | I can't log into either gnome or kde | 19:06 |
| Voxis | magician yes I downloaded then burnt | 19:06 |
| tonytraductor | I can get into fluxbox | 19:06 |
| tonytraductor | and out, now | 19:06 |
| pronoy | ubuntistas: yes......and go to third party software and check the repository listings | 19:06 |
| nanomad | tonytraductor, what happens if you move away your .dmrc? | 19:06 |
| Magician | xcitu: try burning a cd at a slow speed then try it | 19:06 |
| tonytraductor | I don't know...let me try that | 19:07 |
| Voxis | we tried it at the slowest speed possible | 19:07 |
| nanomad | tonytraductor, also, whats the output for ls -lah ~/.dmrc ? | 19:07 |

| nanomad | Johnny_B_Good, try disabling dekstop-effects | 19:08 |
| pronoy | ubuntistas: go to the software sources....and go to the third party software tab | 19:08 |

| Voxis | it doesn't run inside windows 98 when trying to install | 19:11 |

Any other suggestions? Note, I have the same problem with both the text consoles and X... | 20:10 |
| FUbbyCD | an im sure theres a way around it | 20:10 |
| shadeslayer_ | kegster: format the linux partition then install the windows boot loader | 20:10 |
| FUbbyCD | the exe installs a firefox plugin | 20:10 |
| hateball | Lenin_Cat: Do manual partitioning, make sure you do NOT format the /home partition. Use the same username and it'll assume ownership of all the files too | 20:10 |

| plume | bonsoir, pouvez vous me passer le lien de ubuntu.fr | 20:12 |
| ubuntistas | shadeslayer what's that? | 20:12 |
| shadeslayer_ | Saiki: its something like bootrec in vista and fixmbr in XP | 20:12 |

| mpontillo | !lamp | mib_da2coq32 | 20:13 |
| ubottu | mib_da2coq32: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 20:13 |

| Iowahc | hy there. since todays updates my external monitor isn't working anymore | 20:13 |
| shadeslayer_ | Saiki: just before the install dialouge there is a option for recovery in the bottom left corner. | 20:13 |
| ikt | mib_da2coq32: see my response earlier | 20:14 |
| Iowahc | also, I used radeonhd driver before, but now all I get is a black screen | 20:14 |
| Saiki | shadeslayer_: mine showed no installs lol | 20:14 |
| hateball | Lenin_Cat: Well hardware raid is dedicated hardware for the task... and I'm just used to it that way. LVM is nice for resizing pools and so, when you need to add space quick and easy | 20:14 |
| ubuntistas | shadeslayer | 20:14 |
| shadeslayer_ | Saiki: what?? i mean when you boot from a recovery disc | 20:14 |
| imp0steur | anybody ?? Is it safe to have move /home to NTFS partition?? | 20:14 |
| yowshi | Lenin_Cat: those are two compeltly different hard drive setups far as i know. LVM binds multiple hard drives together as one volume as i understand it and raid sets up multiple partitions/hard drives to act as a single hard drive one backing up the others if i recall correctly | 20:14 |
| ikt | <Lenin_Cat> also hateball what is the benefit of a hardware raid <- doesn't rely on software :P which means better compatibility/more likely to work better with linux | 20:15 |
| Saiki | shadeslayer_: exactly what I mean | 20:15 |
| shadeslayer_ | ubuntistas: yes? | 20:15 |
| ubuntistas | shadeslayer what can i do man sources are a mess | 20:16 |

| darrenlooby | hbekel, what would happen if I turned my laptop off? Would my PC then just look on the internet? | 20:53 |
| DumDUm | hey i cant install my graphic card drivers on 9.04 pls help me | 20:53 |
| cptblood | it'd be downloading the XBMC svn | 20:53 |
| darrenlooby | hbekel, will I need to mess with my router? | 20:53 |
| shadeslayer | DumDUm: which card? | 20:53 |

| deany | thanks, i`ll give it a go. | 20:54 |
| douz82 | hi everyone | 20:55 |
| shadeslayer | DumDUm: lspci shows?? | 20:55 |
| Idhan | I have a problem with libGLcore.so.1, which package containt that library to reinstall it? | 20:55 |
| DumDUm | yes shadeslayer | 20:55 |
| usser | Idhan: its usually provided by your graphics drivers | 20:55 |
| hbekel | darrenlooby: you could use the laptops ip as the first nameserver in your other lan client's resolv.conf's, and add your router as the second (fallback) nameserver. | 20:55 |
| Idhan | usser: that's bad, I have reinstall all my graphics drivers :p | 20:56 |
| shadeslayer | DumDUm: what does lspci in a terminal show | 20:56 |
| scunizi | Why does mtop depend on mysql? | 20:56 |
| hbekel | darrenlooby: dnsmasqd is a simple caching dns server, but it also reads /etc/hosts | 20:56 |
| DumDUm | shadeslayer: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) | 20:56 |

| shadeslayer | try that | 20:57 |
| tobi | hey folks ... someone of you using an iPod with amarok, or any other programm ?! | 20:57 |
| shadeslayer | oh maybe the 5200 is not supported by the 180 drivers | 20:57 |
| hbekel | darrenlooby: so you could have dnsmasqd simply use your router, but also use your special ips from your laptop's /etc/hosts | 20:57 |
| shadeslayer | acidicbase: hey got a quick question for you | 20:58 |
| darrenlooby | hbbs, I'll try and see if I can get it working then | 20:58 |
| Dr_Willis | I think the nvidia 5200 uses the other drivers... not the 180 ones.. its an older card | 20:58 |
| shadeslayer | acidicbase: not you | 20:58 |
| darrenlooby | hbekel, I'll try and see if I can get it working then | 20:58 |
| shadeslayer | Dr_Willis: yeah thats what i was thinking | 20:58 |
| Dr_Willis | shadeslayer: i know my Nvidia 5500 does NOT use the same driver as my 8800gtsXXX | 20:58 |
| darrenlooby | hbekel, do I install it on my PC or on my Laptop? | 20:58 |
| shadeslayer | Dr_Willis: hmm... | 20:59 |

| psychic | is there anyway to make a desktop shortcut to firefox? | 21:02 |
| pepperjack | tobi: i have one what is the question | 21:02 |
| hateball | kdub1: Yes, thats possible. But you'll need a cd to boot from | 21:02 |
| shadeslayer | tobi: use banshee for best support imo | 21:02 |
| konflict | Dr_Willis: I will check that out, thanks! | 21:02 |
| luigi | cosa ti serve sapere guest70148 | 21:02 |
| Armageddon | tobi: it should work directly when you plug, ubuntu has the program for it | 21:02 |
| hateball | psychic: rightclick the entry in the menu, choose add to desktop | 21:02 |
| psychic | hateball thank you | 21:03 |
| pepperjack | tobi: you have a few options. 1) install rockbox firmware. i did this and prefer it to the more closed apple firmware. 2) ipod is well supported you can run banshee, gtkpod (only one ive used) etc | 21:03 |
| Dr_Willis | psychic: or drag/drop from menu to desktop | 21:03 |
| stefg | konflict: look at /etc/rc.local | 21:03 |
| maxo | hi | 21:03 |
| tobi | Armageddon, which programm should it be?! My pod not even pops up on my desk. It's just findable in the MEDIA device! | 21:03 |
| maxo | I was just wondering whether there was a keyboard shortcut in evolution to mark a message as important? | 21:03 |
| psychic | hateball that didnt work | 21:04 |
| tobi | nice pepperjack! thx a lot ... rockbox is more iTunes likely?! | 21:04 |
| psychic | Dr_Willis neither does drag and drop work | 21:04 |
| yowshi | god dammit crashed again with an inpput output error | 21:04 |
| pepperjack | tobi: rockbox is a whole new interface. you can basically using rockbox just drag and drop mp3 files to the ipod no need for itunes. but be careful. maybe make sure you have a windows machine with itunes installed to recover from if necessary | 21:05 |
| tritium | yowshi: watch the language | 21:06 |
| guntbert | yowshi: who/what crashed? | 21:06 |
| pisiq | is there any application to clean trash logs cookies history and those things for ubuntu ? | 21:06 |
| pepperjack | tobi: the ipod as it is though will work. just need to run banshee or gtkpod whatever you prefer | 21:06 |
| tobi | pepperjack: that's the point! I'm still using my MS system for syncing my pod ... | 21:06 |
| kane77 | pepperjack, is rockbox better than ipodlinux? I tried that once, but was not able to play anything | 21:06 |
| yowshi | guntbert: this time is was the gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! xvimagesink command. since i cant bloody find any software that wont crash on me i figured i would use this command and gtk record my desktop to record the window and make a video that way | 21:07 |
| pepperjack | kane77: more robust. it works well and is pretty slick. the installer these days takes care of the whole thing no real low level work needed. | 21:07 |
| tobi | is banshee or gtkpod necessary to get the ipod mounted as a device? | 21:07 |
| Armageddon | guys is there anyway to download the latest ubuntu updates from the website under another operating system without knowing what update packages i need ? i need them all i just installed the ubuntu amd 64 beta release... | 21:07 |
| mgmuscari | has anybody heard any acknowledgement from the development community of the problem with ATi cards and Jaunty/Compiz? | 21:07 |
| kane77 | pepperjack, now you got me interested :) | 21:07 |
| pepperjack | tobi: no only to write new files, play lists etc. the ipod should just mount | 21:07 |

| admin_masu3701 | in ubuntu | 21:08 |
| Armageddon | xangua: im not blessed and born in a country where the conncetion is 600K mine is 10K and i dont have internet most of the time like now | 21:09 |
| guntbert | yowshi: ah, I didn't know you were talking about video - sorry no experience here for this | 21:09 |
| pepperjack | TonyTheTiger: lsmod will list the drivers currently loaded. you can always install tremulous (online fps) as a test :). or just run glxgears | 21:09 |
| xangua | Armageddon: then why you don's ask canonical to send you one ¿¿ | 21:09 |
| BigMoopies | does Ubuntu come with e1000e or e1000 driver for NICs? | 21:09 |
| admin_masu3701 | how to have my downloaded files to go automatically to /download? how can i set that up? | 21:10 |
| pepperjack | BigMoopies: yes | 21:10 |
| BigMoopies | pepperjack: it doesn't seem like I can use my NIC, it just makes the router light 'twinkle' | 21:10 |
| BigMoopies | pepperjack: in Ubuntu after Hardy | 21:10 |
| Armageddon | xangua: i tried with the 8.04, i never got the cd, yes the mail is that shity, i managed to download the jaunty days before its release | 21:10 |
| mgmuscari | admin_masu3701: that's a firefox setting and it's ubiquitious across all OS's | 21:10 |
| BigMoopies | pepperjack: IE: Jaunty and Intrepid | 21:10 |
| guntbert | but yowshi you might get better responses if you describe your problem clearly (like you did in your answer to me) and without swear words :-) | 21:10 |
| Cammy | Hi | 21:11 |
| TonyTheTiger | pepperjack, I have set ubuntu to the 3rd option for desktop effects and its running fine, should i assume everything is hunky dory? | 21:11 |
| BigMoopies | pepperjack: http://hardware4linux.info/component/34798/ | 21:11 |
| xangua | Armageddon: go to the mail office of you comunity, somethimes they will not delivere it jus because is a package from out the country | 21:11 |
| pepperjack | BigMoopies: does lsmod show it? maybe rmmod the current module if a diff one is being used and modprobe the one you think it should be. as a test i often pop in a livecd and run lsmod to find the right module if the nic works | 21:11 |
| TonyTheTiger | and glxgears works fine too | 21:11 |
| admin_masu3701 | ok | 21:11 |
| yowshi | guntbert: sorry about that. i am just frustrated i have been trying off and on for a week now and the best i can currently do is get snapshots from it | 21:11 |
| BigMoopies | pepperjack: i wouldn't know, I didn't install it since it doesn't work. | 21:12 |
| xangua | Armageddon: here when i live (méxico9 i 've heard that when you go for them they wanted to pay for it | 21:12 |

| Armageddon | xangua: good luck with that :) dude i consider my country a 10th position out of 3 btw | 21:12 |

| guntbert | yowshi: I can understand your frustration, sorry that I'm not able to help - good luck anyway / by "freeze" you mean no keys are working? if you have a 2nd computer you might be able to ssh into the frozen one and kill the offending process | 21:14 |

| stefg | paco: the actual installer (ubiquity) is not in the installed system. So just get a release CD and do a normal install (possibly using a USB thumb drive which is much quicker) | 21:36 |
| glitsj16 | admin_masu3701: if you have synaptic open, do a search for "flash", "gnash", "swfdec" and se what you have there ... it should only take flashplugin-nonfree to have a working plugin | 21:36 |

| tom__ | how can i remove some of the options such as help and support,about gnome etc | 22:00 |
| stroyan | yowshi: I suggest you google for the most device-specific module name you see. Look for similar problems and parameter setting fixes. Also look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Webcam-HOWTO/#DRIVER-INTRO | 22:00 |
| skullhacks | I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ | 22:00 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: remind me what the actual problem was please. Iirc your Xorg.0.log looked sane (not like "low graphics mode") but some operations were unusually slow? | 22:00 |
| skullhacks | i think its right | 22:00 |
| olivier_ | Slart, glitsj16:I'm sure tvime isn't the problem, it's how to redirect correctly the sound input from the tvcard - which I can see on various viewmeters actually flowing - to the sound system (or the tv card analog sound output btw) | 22:00 |
| jerbear | hittt_: yeh, i'm able to get into a shell now | 22:00 |
| mzz | jimi_hendrix: yes, with not extremely recent radeons you want the open driver in jaunty but possibly the closed one in pre-jaunty ubuntu | 22:00 |
| hittt_ | jerbear: good | 22:00 |
| Slart | olivier_: I've never really messed with tvtime.. don't know how to fix it | 22:00 |
| tom__ | in ubuntu, at the top where the menu is system | 22:00 |
| tom__ | how can i remove some of the options such as help and support,about gnome etc | 22:01 |

| patx | how do i play .mpg movies with firefox? | 22:02 |
| skullhacks | get the ubuntu add-on for firefox | 22:02 |
| olivier_ | Slart: but you might know about ubuntu sound system ? I do think it's the core of the problem here | 22:02 |
| glitsj16 | olivier_: well, that redirection was what i proposed to check earlier, only thing i could find is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=723618 | 22:02 |
| skullhacks | patx: I dont have problems to play any kind of movie with Firefox. Try adding the Ubuntu Add-on | 22:03 |
| yowshi | stroyan: also i dont know which to put for my own find /lib/mpodules since it doesnt tell you how they knew they were looking for ibmcam | 22:03 |
| Slart | olivier_: you mean pulseaudio? well... try installing "pavucontrol" then run it from a terminal.. let me know when you've done that | 22:03 |
| pepperjack | patx: i prefer the mplayer plugin but alot of people use totem of course | 22:03 |
| tlyng | Hello, I've gotten some problems after I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04. First of all the Intel GMA drivers where terrible atm, so I installed a backport of an earlier version. Seems to work ok. Now I'm trying to get picture on my external monitor. GDM is shown on both monitors when it launches, but when I log in to my desktop the external monitor is turned of, no matter what I set in the display properties. Anyone got any suggestions? | 22:04 |
| xangua | pepperjack: yeah mplayer/gecko plugin for mozilla is better | 22:05 |
| KB1JWQ | tlyng: What does the X log show? | 22:05 |
| tim__ | sup fuckers | 22:05 |
| glitsj16 | skullhacks: i don't think the ubuntu firefox modifications offer any plugin to play media | 22:05 |
| stroyan | yowshi: With current distributions the module is found by udev. You can see how it reacted by looking in /var/log/udev. | 22:05 |

| [S]Killed | Ok, my mouse freezed without any reason | 22:06 |

| yowshi | stroyan: that assumes i will know how to read what i see in udev | 22:06 |
| [S]Killed | using Ubuntu 9.04 in a HP dv7 ! | 22:06 |
| glitsj16 | patx: "sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer", that offers support for almost all regular media types in firefox | 22:06 |
| [S]Killed | and i can't install my Sagem Fast 800 on my Ubuntu 9.04 :/ | 22:07 |
| patx | ok | 22:07 |
| nb72 | So as the owner of an ATI Xpress series video card, am I correct that I basically can't upgrade to 9.04? Looks like ATI has left me in the lurch and the open source driver isn't quite there yet. That sound about right? | 22:07 |
| olivier_ | Slart: DOne with glitsj16 already, I can see in pavucontrol the viewmeter moving from the tv sound (it increases or decreases according to the scenes on the tv window) but there is no sound | 22:07 |
| tlyng | KB1JWQ: I can't see any errors in Xorg.log, when GDM start up I do see a mirrored image on my external monitor. It's when I log into the account it's turned off. | 22:07 |
| xangua | glitsj16 patx is better gecko-mediaplayer , at least it look better in Gnome | 22:07 |
| KB1JWQ | tlyng: Could try pastebinning that log. | 22:08 |
| KB1JWQ | SOMETHING's switching off output to it. | 22:08 |
| pepperjack | nb72: i really like the opensource driver for 2d stuff. much prefer it for 2d than the nvidia driver in fact but for 3d .. possibly | 22:08 |
| crdlb | nb72: only if you find the open source driver insufficient | 22:08 |
| Slart | olivier_: next to the moving thingy there is a button with a downarrow.. press it, select "move stream".. see how many choices you've got there.. try a few.. see if you get any sound | 22:08 |
| glitsj16 | xangua: sorry, thought patx was looking for media support in firefox instead of the desktop | 22:08 |

| yowshi | stroyan: how do i find my specific device in this udev mess of machine names numbers and crap | 22:09 |
| amikof | if i go sound-jucier and extract files its ok . i want to do it through the terminal. but i cant find the path to m dvd device | 22:09 |
| nb72 | crdlb: ya, I can't watch video with the open source drivers. its' too choppy even in vlc (old laptop). | 22:09 |
| box02 | Hello | 22:10 |
| nb72 | By the way, whoever put the warning into the upgrade is fricken awesome. | 22:10 |
| stroyan | yowshi: Look for the matching module name. Or watch a 'tail -f' of a logfile when you plug the device in. | 22:10 |
| Pudgy | q | 22:10 |
| Slart | olivier_: if you have more than one soundcard you get different options there.. I have three soundcards, one goes to the stereo, one to the headphones and one to the computer speakers.. I can select where I want a certain program's audio to be played.. very convenient when it works | 22:10 |
| amikof | if i go sound-jucier and extract files its ok . i want to do it through the terminal. but i cant find the path to m dvd device | 22:10 |
| Slart | olivier_: but since you've only got one soundcard there's not a lot you can change there | 22:10 |
| box02 | please someone could explean me what is non-native debian packge. | 22:11 |
| crdlb | nb72: well, it's significantly better in jaunty than in intrepid | 22:11 |

| nb72 | crdlb: Thanks for the info. | 22:12 |

| sebsebseb | box02: this is an Ubuntu DEB this is a Debian DEB | 22:12 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

| === nicolas_ is now known as Guest31543 | ||
| olivier_ | Slart: I do have only one sound card, but there is also the tv card, which has its own analog and digital output (this last one is through the pci).So far, I can see only one entry in the drop down thingy you mentioned, and it's 'Default' | 22:12 |
| DasEi | [S]Killed: alt+F2, gnome-terminal | 22:13 |
| yowshi | stroyan: and what do i do if none of the modules listed in lsmod that appeared when i plugged in my camera are in there? | 22:13 |
| [S]Killed | yes and after that ? | 22:13 |
| NetEcho | why does the server .iso say -amd64? | 22:13 |
| box02 | @sebsebseb so if I package a debian package for Debain and Ubuntu, I can make native debian package? | 22:13 |
| Slart | olivier_: yup.. that means that there's only one soundcard as far as pulseaudio is concerned.. not sure if your creative card is recognized though.. that might be the problem | 22:13 |
| DasEi | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_broken | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | box02: no | 22:13 |

| [S]Killed | DasEi ok i'll test it | 22:14 |
| [S]Killed | DasEi that's all ? | 22:14 |
| box02 | @seb3 so I should rather make non-debian package, right? | 22:14 |
| crdlb | NetEcho: why shouldn't it? there should be an i386 version too | 22:14 |
| NetEcho | I went to Server Edition and selected a mirror | 22:14 |
| DasEi | [S]Killed: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 22:14 |
| pepperjack | NetEcho: because its the 64 bit version of ubuntu. often by default on the download page it selects 64 bit. youll need to select the i386 | 22:14 |
| NetEcho | ah | 22:15 |
| NetEcho | thats kinda annoying | 22:15 |
| glitsj16 | olivier_: have you tried asking on pulseaudio irc yet ? http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/Community has the address | 22:15 |
| pepperjack | NetEcho: yes | 22:15 |
| stroyan | yowshi: I would just go back to googling for the device and module names to look for similar problems. The udev thing is not central to fixing your problems. | 22:15 |

| DasEi | [S]Killed: log in/out | 22:15 |
| box02 | @sebsebseb .. so I should rather make non-debian package, right? | 22:15 |
| yowshi | stroyan: it seems to be central to finding what i need to knwo so i can fix my problems that makes it semi central | 22:15 |
| [S]Killed | Ok DasEi, and for my Sagem have u and idea ? | 22:15 |

| mzz | pisiq: does the psybnc documentation tell you what tool to use here? | 22:29 |
| Flare183 | DasEi: You can't do that in KDE, unless you have gparted installed. QTParted is the GTK version | 22:29 |

| yowshi | stroyan: hbekel because -9 NEVER works for mme | 22:29 |
| yldz | it doesn't work kdesudo qtparted | 22:29 |
| Lenin_Cat | Finally, it may be against Verizon's terms of service for you to run a server on your residential network connection. | 22:29 |

| ikonia | yowshi: if you want support ask clear sensible questions about ubuntu | 22:32 |
| Slart | olivier_: the intel one is probably a soundcard built-in on your motherboard. Does that sound correct? | 22:32 |

| jerbear | what do i need to do to enable the proprietary nvidia driver from the command line? i want to emulate what happens when i enable it from gnome | 22:34 |
| stroyan | yowshi: Using modprobe -r to remove a module may get a hung process unstuck. But it may also bring the system crashing down when the module messes up more stuff on the way out. | 22:34 |

| amoblin | Excuse me! | 22:36 |
| mzz | pisiq: using that is perfectly reasonable if you want to encrypt something so that *you* can later decrypt it, but doesn't necessarily make any sense if you want *psybnc* to decrypt it | 22:36 |
| ikonia | yowshi: how are you trying to kill the process ? | 22:37 |
| mzz | pisiq: where in psybnc's documentation does it say this is the encryption it uses? | 22:37 |
| amoblin | Is there anyone know w3mimgdisplay? | 22:37 |
| pisiq | gpg it sais | 22:37 |

| yowshi | ikonia: nope | 22:38 |
| ikonia | yowshi: that's most odd, I'd log a bug in launchpad.net for that then, it certainly sounds valid | 22:38 |

| pisiq | Current recipients: | 22:38 |
| pisiq | Enter the user ID. End with an empty line: man gpg | 22:38 |
| pisiq | No such user ID. | 22:38 |

| mzz | pisiq: again, I suspect this will not give you a form of encryption psybnc can decrypt | 22:40 |
| yowshi | hbekel: yes i tried using a preload thing to load it this time around and cheese crashed spectaularily | 22:40 |
| kartofelek | eseven73 --exclude | 22:40 |
| Ed54 | there are apps that let you access linux partitions from windows, right? | 22:40 |
| amoblin | How we can show image in terminal? | 22:40 |
| eseven73 | kartofelek, so --exclude /tmp/ thats it? | 22:40 |
| mzz | pisiq: feel free to generate a key for yourself so you can encrypt things (the gpg manual covers this) but I would be quite surprised if this did what you wanted | 22:40 |
| hbekel | yowshi: nvm then | 22:40 |
| stroyan | yowshi: Did you ever get to try the LD_PRELOAD after a fresh reboot? It may have been in a bad state from an earlier program. | 22:40 |
| mzz | pisiq: however I do not know psybnc, I'm just going off skimming its documentation. Consider asking someone who knows psybnc... | 22:40 |
| Slart | Ed54: yes.. last time I checked they were a bit rough around the edges but ext3/2 support is supposed to be doable | 22:40 |
| kartofelek | eseven73 as far as I remember, yes | 22:40 |
| yowshi | stroyan: this was after a fresh reboot | 22:40 |
| BBlinkk | anyone know if there are issues with remote desktop not starting vino? | 22:41 |
| Slart | amoblin: using some kind of framebuffer driver | 22:41 |
| yowshi | stroyan: this time around i didnt touch the camera progs until i had a plausable solution | 22:41 |
| Ed54 | Slart: but not ext4? i wanted to use that | 22:41 |
| eseven73 | kartofelek, ok thank you | 22:41 |
| jerbear | arrghhh! what is wrong with this thing. I can't get the damn login screen to come up! does anyone have any idea what this could be? | 22:41 |
| NetEcho | is there a website I can visit to search the ubuntu package database? | 22:41 |
| Slart | Ed54: I'm not sure about ext4.. you'll have to use the mighty google | 22:41 |
| glitsj16 | mudassar: yes that's the one you need for youtube ... do you have any other plugins that might conflict with eachother in your list ? | 22:41 |
| amoblin | Slart:what about w3m? | 22:41 |
| Slart | NetEcho: packages.ubuntu.com | 22:41 |
| NetEcho | thanks | 22:41 |
| boringpackets | this is probably an obvious question but I cant seem to find the answer. How do I enable four desktops instead of two? | 22:41 |
| Ed54 | Slart: alright then | 22:41 |
| ikonia | boringpackets: are you using compiz (the cube) | 22:42 |
| boringpackets | yes | 22:42 |
| kartofelek | eseven73 no problem | 22:42 |
| ikonia | boringpackets: ok - so you need to set it in the cube settings in ccsm | 22:42 |
| Slart | amoblin: w3m.. the web browser? what about it? | 22:42 |
| boringpackets | ah ok thanks | 22:42 |

| amoblin | vader:not a new window... | 22:43 |
| Buttons840 | vim? is this in repositories? | 22:43 |
| Slart | amoblin: it will not help you.. you need a driver of some kind.. a framebuffer driver if you ask me.. there might be other ways but that's the one I've heard of | 22:43 |
| yowshi | ikonia: this is why i dont usually get around to filing bug reports. qwuestions i hAve no clue nabout. IE this one what package do i chose? | 22:43 |
| boringpackets | i cant find it, are you sure it's not a gnome function? | 22:43 |
| Slart | amoblin: when you have the driver working you can start using applications that show images | 22:44 |
| ikonia | yowshi: click the "I don't know" option | 22:44 |
| Buttons840 | I looked at eclipse, but I'm trying to focus on php here, not on how to put a IDE together. | 22:44 |

| gordonjcp | Buttons840: I just use gedit for all my webby stuff | 22:45 |

| boringpackets | voss, probably because of compiz, try metacity --replace | 22:45 |
| ikonia | yowshi: it is there | 22:45 |
| gordonjcp | Buttons840: you might find bluefish, anjuta or kate helpful | 22:45 |
| glitsj16 | Buttons840: never used it myself, but anjuta gets nice reviews (also in the repo's) .. i used gedit but have recently migrated to geany | 22:45 |

| glitsj16 | Buttons840: yes, very lightweight but works just fine | 22:46 |
| voss | boringpackets, Its a dell optiplex gx260, im thinking if I put in a fx 5200 video card that will get it up to normal speed. | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | thomatwork: I know this isn't helpful, but it works perfectly well for me in 32-bit | 22:46 |

| Buttons840 | I suppose I could try several | 22:47 |
| Buttons840 | out of repos | 22:47 |
| glitsj16 | gordonjcp: i like gedit, but do you happen to know it does code folding ? | 22:47 |
| boringpackets | voss, i can tell you from first hand experience that the fx5200 won't impress you in any way | 22:47 |

| Buttons840 | So, when you install something from the repos, and later uninstall them, is it REALLY gone? (I'm used to Windows where instalilng and then uninstalling leaves you with poor performance after a while.) | 22:48 |
| boringpackets | i still can't find out where to go to enable four virtual desktops | 22:48 |
| voss | boringpackets besides, It only cost me $24 for a low profile agp card so im not expecting much :) | 22:48 |
| honkyusa | it has a nice dictionary | 22:48 |
| Slart | Buttons840: the binaries are gone.. configuration and data files remain | 22:48 |
| hatter243 | Buttons840, it removes all but the config files unless you "purge" it | 22:48 |
| Slart | Buttons840: in synaptic "Purge" is the same as "completely remove" | 22:48 |
| boringpackets | voss, lucky you, i paid substantially more for it, and it caused an emotional breakdown (as well as an FPS breakdown) | 22:49 |
| Buttons840 | purge = "completely remove" from symnaptic? | 22:49 |

| thomatwork | hmm - I'm also hearing hard drive activity when ever I move my mouse from the Windows PC to the Linux PC (using Synergy running as a daemon on login) | 22:49 |
| sjzzalx | I don't like going the slow way, you dudes | 22:49 |
| boringpackets | voss i have a 9400M in my laptop, and it runs compiz like a dream, though it does get sluggish if i try to lay emerald on top of it | 22:50 |

| mystic414 | Hi all, I'm running a clean install of 9.04, and any time I right-click a bookmark in my bookmarks menu in Firefox, the browser crashes. Same happens if I go to "organize bookmarks" and click anything in the bookmarks menu. Any ideas? | 22:51 |
| hittt_ | try reinstalling firefox | 22:51 |
| Desi_Muna | hey | 22:51 |
| thomatwork | mystic414: you don't really need bookmarks - just don't use them ... jk | 22:51 |
| Desi_Muna | Openoffice doesn't spell check | 22:51 |
| voss | So Im putting a 9400 video card, on a dell system with a 255 watt power supply, supposedly it has a peak power usage of 39 watts so im crossing my fingers :) | 22:52 |
| hatter243 | mystic414, you don't happen to have a .mozilla folder in your homedir from another installation do you? | 22:52 |
| pepperjack | mystic414: first idea is to run from terminal to see if you get anything useful. workaround idea is to download firefox from mozilla.com perhaps | 22:52 |
| stroyan | thomatwork: I ran into quite a synergy problem a while back. It was related to synergy multithreading and loosing X events for a while. But that should be patched in any recent updates. | 22:52 |
| yowshi | well my bug report is in and i am rebooting | 22:53 |
| thomatwork | Is synergy part of the default 9.04 "live" install? | 22:53 |
| mystic414 | hittt_: I did apt-get --purge remove firefox-3.0, then reinstalled and didn't help | 22:53 |
| mystic414 | hatter243: I do have a .mozilla folder in my home dir | 22:53 |
| hittt_ | then download a .deb file from firefox.com | 22:53 |
| voss | boringpackets, have you tried a 7200gs with 9.04? | 22:53 |
| mystic414 | pepperjack: Running it from terminal give me a Segmentation fault message when it dies | 22:54 |

| hittt_ | I think | 22:57 |
| hatter243 | Depends on what you mean "work like" | 22:57 |
| pepperjack | rednammoc: the external ip or internal? | 22:57 |
| hatter243 | hittt_, what's the problem you're having? | 22:57 |
| rednammoc | pepperjack: internal | 22:57 |
| pepperjack | rednammoc: ping? :) | 22:58 |
| hittt_ | it isnt a problem, rather a mind confusion, it is late and i start forgetting unix! | 22:58 |
| hatter243 | rednammoc, host [hostname] ? | 22:58 |
| rednammoc | pepperjack: the external will be the same like i'm using ;) | 22:58 |
| hatter243 | rednammoc, Are you trying to figure out the ip of your own computer or an external one? | 22:58 |
| rednammoc | pepperjack: ping says: cant resolv host-name | 22:58 |
| rednammoc | hatter243: of an external one | 22:59 |
| rednammoc | if i use smbtree i can see the host. but i want to know the ip-adress | 22:59 |
| hatter243 | Connect to the host once and then from the terminal type "arp -a" | 23:00 |
| pepperjack | rednammoc: for i in `seq 1 99`; do ping 192.168.0.$i; done :) heh | 23:00 |

| ActionParsnip | elementz: ls -l /media/usb | 23:23 |
| elementz | k thx | 23:23 |
| DasEi | elementz: also you could add it to fstab, options user,rw | 23:23 |
| gbailey1 | Can anyone give me a quick walkthrough of visudo? I seem to be having difficulty editing my sudoers file | 23:23 |
| samuelg | I'm running jaunty on a dell laptop and I'm having a lot of xorg issues. After an update, my screen is now all rainbow colors. I can't make out anything. Ctrl + Alt + Backspace no longer works, so that's out. And on top of that ctrl + alt +1/2/3/4/5 doesn't work either so i'm not even sure how to access a command line | 23:24 |
| admin_masu3701 | its very weird...i can hear sound when playing some video, but sound at all | 23:24 |
| admin_masu3701 | how can that happen | 23:24 |
| elementz | DasEi: hm, ok the permissions on the mounted drive do not differ. so its the *way* i mount it? normally i just do a mount /dev/foo /media/foo | 23:24 |
| KB1JWQ | gbailey1: Google it. IT's not that difficult; all visudo does is ensure you don't mess it u0p | 23:24 |
| pop3 | hello ppl i have a problem with my ubuntu and SD card on my laptop could someone help me ?? | 23:24 |
| KB1JWQ | !ask | pop3 | 23:24 |
| ubottu | pop3: 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. :-) | 23:24 |
| gbailey1 | KB1JWQ: I have googled it, and I feel like a complete idiot for not being able to figure it out | 23:24 |
| KB1JWQ | gbailey1: Pastebin? | 23:25 |
| roule01010 | is vim-full the same thing as vim-gnome? | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | samuelg: run the fix xorg in the recovery mode menu | 23:25 |
| admin_masu3701 | can someone help please...i dont get this | 23:25 |
| KB1JWQ | roule01010: Nope. | 23:25 |
| DasEi | elementz: mostly when you create or mount a drive, you do as super-user, so permissions will stick there (try to write by sudo should also work) | 23:25 |
| KB1JWQ | I think vim-gnome has a GUI frontend | 23:25 |
| roule01010 | vim-full too | 23:25 |
| halox3xdraven | im having problems with libpango can anyone help? | 23:25 |
| admin_masu3701 | no sound on the system..but hear sound when i play this clip on line | 23:25 |
| roule01010 | vim-full has vim-gnome in his deps | 23:25 |
| elementz | DasEi: k | 23:25 |
| KB1JWQ | roule01010: Hmm. I'm not sure what the difference is then. :) | 23:26 |
| KB1JWQ | Oh. | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | admin_masu3701 | 23:26 |
| pepperjack | samuelg: id alt-ctrl-f2 then login then X -configure to generate an xorg.conf file then sudo mv xorg.conf-new /etc/X11/xorg.conf then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart then go back to alt-ctrl-f2 if that doesnt fix it and change the Driver in xorg.conf to vesa and retest | 23:26 |
| ubottu | admin_masu3701: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 23:26 |
| eseven73 | vim-gnome is the meta package isnt it? | 23:26 |
| KB1JWQ | full may grab all the varios vim packages as a meta | 23:26 |
| gbailey1 | KB1JWQ: Again, I feel like an idiot. I figured it out :-/ | 23:26 |
| samuelg | ActionParsnip: just booted from recovery mode, and my screen is black | 23:26 |

| pepperjack | samuelg: btw google serverflags dontzap for example of enabling alt-ctrl-backspace again | 23:26 |

| ActionParsnip | samuelg: try booting to root recovery console and run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:27 |
| roule01010 | Okay, another q: can you use the courier font with gvim? | 23:27 |
| admin_masu3701 | ubottu: i have try all that | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:27 |
| samuelg | pepperjack: I don't think you understand... ctrl alt f1/f2/f3 doesn't even work | 23:27 |
| shsr | update-nitramfs is trying to create a initrd for a kernel that doesnt exist | 23:27 |
| admin_masu3701 | ubuttu: you gave me those links last night but nothin seem to work | 23:28 |
| hittt_ | it is a bot! | 23:28 |
| shsr | yeah | 23:28 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: i think you need libcanberra0 to be able to play system event sounds | 23:28 |
| shsr | !ubutto | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubutto | 23:28 |
| pepperjack | samuelg: then recovery shell and personally id chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm to make it not executable until it is fixed. you can then reboot and be at command line just use +x to make executable again | 23:28 |
| shsr | !ubotto | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotto | 23:28 |
| BlueAidan | what's the recommended method of mirroring an ubuntu release? | 23:28 |
| DasEi | !bot | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 23:28 |
| BlueAidan | apt-mirror? | 23:29 |
| samuelg | pepperjack: but how am i supposed to access a recovery shell/ | 23:29 |
| pepperjack | samuelg: tap esc key during boot by default grub hides it but esc will give option | 23:29 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: Just checked, and it is installed. I wasn't able to get assigned sounds to play in 8.04 or 8.10, either. It's just kind of silly to have the feature but not be able to get it to work. | 23:30 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: Also, I earlier asked about automatic changing/cycling of wallpaper. Any thoughts? Compiz' Wallpaper module does nothing, and Wallpaper Tray doesn't seem to be able to install correctly on 9.04. | 23:30 |
| === RainCT_ is now known as RainCT | ||
| admin_masu3701 | should i just reinstall ubuntu or is there any other solution to try | 23:31 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: true, for me they started to work and i don't use them ... things are always weirdly distributed (you might need additional libcanberra related packages, i have 3 but am on xubuntu so i couldn't be sure) | 23:32 |
| WhoNeedszzz | If anyone here is good with RLPlot, can you please send me a pm? | 23:32 |
| jaggerjack_ | So i pressed alt-ctrl-f1 and it sent me to command prompt, how do I get out of that and back into GUI for future reference? | 23:32 |
| WhoNeedszzz | jaggerjack_: ctrl+alt+F7 | 23:32 |
| jaggerjack_ | ah thanks | 23:32 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: i remember the cycling wallpaper question yes, compiz wallpaper works fine, but it doesn't do cycling | 23:32 |
| pepperjack | alt-f7 also you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to restart x | 23:32 |
| olrrai | hi | 23:33 |
| jaggerjack_ | nice thanks | 23:33 |
| WhoNeedszzz | pepperjack: not just alt+F7 | 23:33 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: aw nuts. I used to use Wallpaper Tray in 8.04 and 8.10. | 23:33 |
| olrrai | hi | 23:33 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: any errors using wallpaper tray ? or why do you think it didn't install properly ? | 23:33 |
| pepperjack | WhoNeedszzz: yep. only need ctrl-alt in X | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | olrrai: hi | 23:34 |
| WhoNeedszzz | pepperjack: well then either works | 23:34 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: It installs with no errors but it cannot be found. Even when I do a "which wallpaper-tray" or "which wp-tray" nothing is returned. | 23:34 |
| olrrai | I upgrade to ubuntu 9.04, my kde3 app has no sound, any ideo hot to config kde3 apps? | 23:34 |
| WhoNeedszzz | If anyone here is good with RLPlot, can you please send me a pm? | 23:34 |
| jaggerjack_ | so back to my original question. as of yesterday or the day before, I have had no sound all I get is crackling out of my speakers. Anyone been experiencing this? | 23:34 |
| olrrai | I upgrade to ubuntu 9.04, my kde3 app has no sound, any ideo hot to config kde3 apps? (kde4 apps has sound and works fine) | 23:35 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: you need to manually update the database if you want to find/locate something after an install, try "sudo updatedb", let it do its voodoo and run a "locate wp-tray" afterwards | 23:35 |
| Raynes | ubuntuforums.org is down. | 23:37 |
| Raynes | :| | 23:37 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: Well, yeah, it finds the directories and stuff, but no actual app itself. | 23:37 |
| xnixan | Hello! | 23:37 |
| xnixan | what is the best application for network traffic monitoring? | 23:38 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: odd indeed ... just looking at the homepage of wallpaper-tray and it mentions availability of older versions that still use the notification area instead of the gnome panel, perhaps a job for manual compilation | 23:38 |
| yao_ziyuan | what is the channel discussing linux games? | 23:38 |

| epaphus | Anybody know how i can view the type of processor that my machine has in ubuntu?? anybody | 23:42 |

| cpierce | boringpackets: the scrolling even when not active | 23:42 |
| jaggerjack_ | oh | 23:42 |
| jaggerjack_ | I didnt know that | 23:42 |
| glitsj16 | the disappearing baobab .. mystery lurks | 23:42 |
| jaggerjack_ | Thanks! | 23:42 |
| admin_masu3701 | yea....magically | 23:42 |
| Juliiiie | yeah, ubuntu is fucked up with sound | 23:42 |
| Juliiiie | it's a pity | 23:43 |
| admin_masu3701 | it is | 23:43 |
| Juliiiie | but well, it's bound to be fixed somedays | 23:43 |
| gymophett | my sound worked out of the box. :) | 23:43 |
| Reck | I have my system set up with a seperate partition for / and /home, is this called anything special? | 23:43 |
| eseven73 | glitsj16, kdirstat is really nice alternative | 23:43 |
| gymophett | Everything did actually. | 23:43 |
| admin_masu3701 | me too gymophett | 23:43 |
| glitsj16 | eseven73: thx, will have a look | 23:43 |
| admin_masu3701 | now no sound | 23:43 |
| admin_masu3701 | for 3 days | 23:43 |
| gymophett | cool. :) | 23:43 |
| admin_masu3701 | i think i will reinstall ubuntu | 23:43 |
| Juliiiie | for me it depends on which software i launch first | 23:44 |
| admin_masu3701 | no one seem to know how to fix the isssue | 23:44 |
| gymophett | a woman got a face trandplant?! :O | 23:44 |
| ELo | pulse? | 23:44 |
| Reck | admin_masu3701, do you have an XPS m1330? | 23:44 |
| ELo | CNN right? | 23:44 |
| Juliiiie | i heard there are ways to beg alsa to work fine | 23:44 |
| gymophett | yeah. | 23:44 |
| admin_masu3701 | yes | 23:44 |
| Firefishe | I'm using ubuntu 8.10, also running kde 4.2.2 and xfce4 (xubuntu) concurrently. I am getting this error when I log in to the xfce desktop: http://rafb.net/p/Rwd4oj39.html | This happens only with my normal user--the one made at install time. I have a new user, made yesterday, that logs into xfce just fine. | 23:44 |
| gymophett | lol. | 23:44 |
| glitsj16 | Reck: besides wise and easy when upgrading nothing special i think no | 23:44 |
| pasteeater | epaphus: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 23:44 |
| ELo | thats one hell of a transplant | 23:44 |
| gymophett | CBS actually. | 23:45 |
| ELo | i wish her luck | 23:45 |
| ELo | aaah | 23:45 |
| Juliiiie | still, you'd have to "ping the kernel" in some ways, eh | 23:45 |
| halox3xdraven | what is the code for copying libpango 1.0-0 to the lib folder? | 23:45 |
| Reck | thanks glitsj16 there really should be a name for the set up. its a good way of doing it. but it involves some work doing a fresh install and getting up and running really quick | 23:45 |
| halox3xdraven | please? | 23:45 |
| gymophett | it seems like they could fix more of it. | 23:45 |
| Reck | admin_masu3701, let me find the reference i used to fix my sound problem on my 13309 | 23:45 |
| gymophett | more it loks a lot better. | 23:45 |
| MarkJones | halox3xdraven: Is the folder permissions preventing you from doing that? | 23:45 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: Ok, got it working. That's weird. Oh well, they changed how it works. C 'est la vie, I guess... Thanks again! | 23:45 |
| Juliiiie | it tells mei got no more battery | 23:46 |
| halox3xdraven | yes | 23:46 |
| Juliiiie | still, i just unplugged it | 23:46 |
| Juliiiie | let's see if i unconnect | 23:46 |
| MarkJones | halox3xdraven: sudo nautilus, then do it. | 23:46 |
| glitsj16 | Reck: so many partition schemes around that would be a handful | 23:46 |
| eseven73 | gksudo nautilus | 23:46 |
| DasEi | eseven73: thanks, I'm after it | 23:46 |
| eseven73 | !gksudo | MarkJones | 23:46 |
| ubottu | MarkJones: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:46 |
| vader | Anybody know if a brand new 120Gb Ipod will work with Amorak/Songbird/gtkpod etc out of the box? | 23:46 |
| admin_masu3701 | Reck: the irony is that sound was working fine 2 days ago | 23:46 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: :) happy cycling | 23:46 |
| boringpackets | cpierce Ohhh ! well its freaking awesome. | 23:46 |
| Juliiiie | admin_masu3701: have you tried alsamixer ? | 23:46 |
| ELo | My iPod Touch doesn't work | 23:46 |
| admin_masu3701 | yes | 23:46 |
| ELo | not with songbird which i'm using now. | 23:46 |
| Reck | admin_masu3701, Did you install any new apps or reinstall anything related to sound? or upgrade to 9.04? | 23:46 |
| gymophett | Idk if it will work OOTB, but it should be able to with a few hacks. Touch and iPhones dont. | 23:47 |
| halox3xdraven | thanks alot | 23:47 |
| MarkJones | welcome | 23:47 |
| ELo | I know on WinXP its been caught erasing data off of ipods, song bird that is. | 23:47 |
| Juliiiie | admin_masu3701: is there some "mute" button your cat could have hit ? =) | 23:47 |
| eseven73 | DasEi, I really didn't want anymore kde libs, but luckily that app doesnt install anymore kde libs than I already had :D | 23:47 |
| vader | ELo: you need to jailbreak it. I have a Touch also. | 23:47 |
| admin_masu3701 | i did upgradte to 9.04..but sound was working fine after | 23:47 |
| gymophett | Anyone found how to get a Zune to work with Ubuntu 9.04 yet? | 23:47 |
| Reck | admin_masu3701, http://www.walkingrandomly.com/?p=1100 | 23:47 |
| olmari | Does anyone have an idea how to really check CD-writers abilities? I mean all of the sudden I can't burn any images with 9.04 while I could do it with 8.10 just fine no matter what the program used... k3b insist that mine drive doesn't support "RAW" but I know it does.. | 23:47 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: Now if only I could figure out what's up with sound events in Gnome. *sigh* | 23:47 |
| ELo | eh, i'm not that heavy into my ipod. | 23:47 |
| DasEi | eseven73: which app do you use now ? | 23:47 |
| eseven73 | kdirstats | 23:48 |
| shsr | olmari, all of them support raw | 23:48 |
| ELo | Thought about it, but I dont care about customizing so much. | 23:48 |
| eseven73 | errr kdirstat | 23:48 |
| admin_masu3701 | its funny how can i hear sound when i play some video clip online | 23:48 |
| halox3xdraven | still says dependency is unsatisfiable | 23:48 |
| Juliiiie | admin_masu3701: it sometimes work when under the process viewer i kill everything containing "artsd" or "knotify" | 23:48 |
| admin_masu3701 | but no sound otherwise | 23:48 |
| shsr | big feature thats buggy is packet writing, havnt gotten that to work myself | 23:48 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: have you tried installing some extra libcanberra related packages yet ? | 23:48 |
| MarkJones | olmari: Nero for linux is pretty good.Thats what i use.Its only like $25 | 23:48 |
| halox3xdraven | no | 23:48 |
| gymophett | Ubuntu 9.04 picks up my Zune now! :D | 23:48 |
| halox3xdraven | i haven't | 23:48 |
| nrich | what's the xen-aware kernel called in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 23:48 |
| Juliiiie | admin_masu3701: oh, you mean you got sound on firefox and nowhere else ? | 23:49 |
| gymophett | Nero for Linux? Hmm. I didn't know about that. :D | 23:49 |
| gymophett | I'll stick with Brasero and k3b. | 23:49 |
| ELo | NERO?! | 23:49 |
| ELo | whoa | 23:49 |
| ELo | i gotta look into that | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | last i checked - i dident see anything thgat Nero for Linux did.. that k3b dident.. | 23:49 |
| jaggerjack_ | My sound issue is far different then yours admin_masu3701, all my sound is crackly no matter what I am playing it through | 23:49 |
| vader | I need to buy q 120 for my car, but don't have any Windows machines... Will I be able to xfers songs in Ubuntu without using Itunes or jailbreaking? | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | it dident have all the features the windos-over-kill version did. :) | 23:49 |
| Juliiiie | jaggerjack_: gotta get into industrial =) | 23:49 |
| mrwes | K3b is it, too bad Brasero hasn't come up to par | 23:49 |
| gymophett | NERO FOR LINUX: http://www.nero.com/eng/linux3.html | 23:50 |
| gymophett | :D | 23:50 |
| olmari | MarkJones: well it isn't burningprogram related as said... NO program works now.. | 23:50 |
| jaggerjack_ | industrial? you'll have to rephrase that | 23:50 |
| jaggerjack_ | you mean the hardware? | 23:50 |
| admin_masu3701 | i dont have sound no where in the system...but i just try to play a clip and i hear sound... | 23:50 |
| admin_masu3701 | hahah | 23:50 |
| Juliiiie | distorted music for which you won't notice that kind of crackles | 23:50 |
| nrich | anyone know what the kernel for ubuntu 9.04 which is xen aware is called | 23:50 |
| yn | hey, this is more of a hardware question than Ubuntu-specific, but still related - what's the lightest, in terms of weight, laptop that is hardware compatible with Ubuntu? | 23:50 |
| admin_masu3701 | no sound otherwise | 23:50 |
| jaggerjack_ | hah | 23:50 |
| jaggerjack_ | nice | 23:50 |
| MarkJones | Ive never realy had any dependability with k3b or brasero. | 23:50 |
| yn | preferably something with a full-sized keyboard, no 9" netbooks | 23:51 |
| Sergeant_Pony | is it possible to run Ubuntu 9.04 on a dual core 2 ghz with 3 gig memory without a swapfile? | 23:51 |
| Juliiiie | admin_masu3701: oh, then I guess the only thing you got to do is kill firefox first | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Sergeant_Pony: should be .. | 23:51 |
| Reck | Sergeant_Pony, yes, the swap file is recomended, not recquired | 23:51 |
| Reck | I don't use one | 23:51 |
| gymophett | I thinks so Sergeant Pony. | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Sergeant_Pony: it sucks when you run out of ram. :) | 23:51 |
| admin_masu3701 | Juliiii: how do i do that...i would kill anything right now...hehee | 23:51 |
| gymophett | Put Swap on there anyway, JUST in case. :D | 23:52 |
| Juliiiie | sudo top | 23:52 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: The only uninstalled options are libcanberra0-dbg, libcanberra-dev, libcanberra-doc, libcanberra-gtk0-dbg, libcanberra-gtk-dev and libcanberra-gtk-module-dbg. | 23:52 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Dr_Willis, I've had this setup for 2 weeks now and it never uses more that 15% of the memory and has never touched the swapfile | 23:52 |
| Juliiiie | hopla | 23:52 |
| Juliiiie | gottago ! | 23:52 |
| Juliiiie | ciao | 23:52 |
| Roasted | why is jaunty requiring me to put in a password to reboot?? | 23:52 |
| mrwes | Sergeant_Pony, yah Jaunty is very efficient | 23:52 |
| admin_masu3701 | juliiiii: sudo top just show you the processes | 23:52 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: that looks like you have all you should need from libcanberra, those are either debug or dev packages indeed | 23:52 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mrwes, cool, I like it so far except for my sound issues.. | 23:53 |
| mrwes | forums down? | 23:53 |

| VCoolio | admin_masu3701: you can see the pid of the firefox-process, so run: kill (pid) | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Sergeant_Pony: sucks when ya accidently start 100 videos.. Like i did the other day. :) i used up swap real fast then.. heh | 23:53 |
| MikeTheC | glitsj16: Yup, pretty much. Mind you I did a search for just "canberra" to try and catch anything that could be relevant or related. | 23:53 |
| gymophett | Forums down. :( | 23:53 |
| Roasted | when you guys go to shut down or reboot, do you get prompted for a password? | 23:53 |
| halox3xdraven | i need the libpango 1.0-0.so file | 23:54 |
| EManXL | negative | 23:54 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Roasted only if I do it from a console | 23:54 |
| Roasted | when I do it from the gui it requires a PW | 23:54 |
| Roasted | how effing strange | 23:54 |
| glitsj16 | MikeTheC: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/273507 might have a fix | 23:54 |
| spytux | roasted have you enable autologin? | 23:54 |
| admin_masu3701 | i think i will just reinstall ubuntu...less problems... | 23:54 |
| Roasted | spytux - No. It requires me to put in a password to log in. | 23:55 |
| Roasted | which is how I want it | 23:55 |
| koshari1 | Roasted you havnt changed any permissians have you? | 23:55 |
| EManXL | The only thing that gets to me is how my system hangs when Ubuntu is loading the Night Rider line prior to the GUI coming up. | 23:55 |
| Roasted | koshari1 - I did change some permissions, but the permissions I changed were to my backup drive... | 23:55 |
| pop3 | i have an acer 5920g with card reader and ubuntu 8.04, im trying to use my 4giga SD card but i cant!the crazy part is that 2 days ago the card works just simple, i just plug it in my laptop all was fine! could someone help me ?? | 23:55 |
| Roasted | koshari1 - what permissions would be tied in with the logout thing Im dealing with? | 23:55 |
| EManXL | Worse case I have to manually turn off the PC and back on again and hope it goes through after the third manual reboot. | 23:55 |
| halox3xdraven | can anyone help me find the .so variant of libpango? | 23:56 |
| koshari1 | Roasted i dont know specifically however i cant see what else would change the logout behaviour, i take it it wasnt always the case you were prompted? | 23:56 |

| jaggerjack_ | can anyone tell me when I let firefox sit for a period of time it stops loading pages? | 23:57 |
| Roasted | koshari1 - No, originally it just gave me the 1 minute warning asking me if I was sure | 23:57 |
| Roasted | I had a post on forums but theyre down now so I dont know if anybody responded. | 23:57 |
| mrwes | Roasted: are you rebooting from the command line? or the GUI? | 23:57 |
| Iradieh | What is the difference between Ubuntu, Ubuntu serv and Ubuntu alternative? | 23:58 |
| Roasted | mrwes - GUI | 23:58 |
| mrwes | weird | 23:58 |
| Roasted | mrwes - tell me about it | 23:58 |
| spytux | roasted this will happen if you use switch user option... | 23:58 |
| admin_masu3701 | i have 2 partition, dual boot linux and windows, want to reinstall ubuntu, what do i need to do, should i edit the ubuntu partion first or just install the cd | 23:58 |
| Roasted | spytux - I'm trying to restart... | 23:58 |
| mrwes | Roasted: upload a screenshot to imageshack | 23:58 |
| koshari1 | Roasted well it would appear an action taken just prior to the change would be the root cause, it you are like me however and have uptimes of up to 10 days it may be difficult to isolate the cause | 23:58 |
| DasEi | Iradieh:alternative comes with a more configurable text installer, better for extic hardware.. | 23:58 |
| Iradieh | DasEi: hmm what do you recomend for a mac mini? | 23:59 |
| eseven73 | what's the name of the sudo crontab -e file? I want to back it up :D | 23:59 |
| glitsj16 | jaggerjack_: some websites/services do auto-reloading, but besides that your firefox shouldn't move if you don't use it | 23:59 |
| Iradieh | Anyway what about server/ubuntu desktop (I come from a Debian background, I got a server, but I use NX to connect to it and therefore run Xfce) | 23:59 |
| lukinfore | hi ! what device should I use to raw access cd/dvd? | 23:59 |
