| byte^ | what is the default way Ubuntu tries to read the sound card? Is there a command I can use to check if everything is fine? | 00:00 |
| Flannel | !repeat | nightdrever | 00:00 |
| nightdrever | could anyone help me? | 00:00 |
| ubottu | nightdrever: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: well there woudn't really be any as far as I know, and also as far as I know, it would then mean you would have to update kernels yourself every time you wanted to update, and there woudn't just be one offered to you from Ubuntu's repo | 00:00 |
| wirechief | xirrin: experience but why go through all the grief, who is going to support you if it doesnt work ? | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: wait no that second part is wrong I think | 00:00 |
| pepe_rey | thank | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: ,but wirecheif has a point, you can't really get support for custom kernels in Ubuntu's channels | 00:01 |
| xirrin | Oh absolutely, I was just curious about why someone would want to. It didn't make any sense to me. | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: indeed Ubuntu isn't Gentoo or some such, distros where people tend to do it | 00:02 |
| wirechief | xirrin just get the latest kernel here : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: ppa's are also not 100% offical, if offical at all really. ,but yes ppa's is a good way to get even later programs | 00:03 |
| Linuz2009 | sebsebseb: alright, thanks I need to go now. | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | !ppa | xirrin | 00:03 |
| ubottu | xirrin: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 00:03 |

| PioDer | How to split 2 LANs with Hamachi? | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: ppa's are useualy recommended for more advanced users, that's what I should have said before instead of the stuff regarding 100% | 00:04 |
| coler | are you there sebsebseb | 00:05 |
| wolter | who can help with graphic cards? | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: channel is not that busy at the moment, just chat here :) no need to PM | 00:05 |
| xirrin | Sure :) | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | coler: yes | 00:05 |
| xirrin | Well the article I found was this one: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1097993 | 00:05 |
| magcius | PioDer, Hamachi is for Windows. | 00:05 |
| joaopinto | xirrin, you may want some unsual kernel patch, option or optimization | 00:05 |
| magcius | PioDer, you are in the Ubuntu channel. | 00:05 |
| Severity1 | pinion: have you installed the restricted-extras | 00:05 |
| coler | sorry about pasting. I had done it before u told me not to | 00:05 |
| PioDer | magcius: ok :) | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | coler: uh? | 00:06 |
| pinion | Severity1: Yes, ubuntu-restricted-extras right? | 00:06 |
| PioDer | good night | 00:06 |
| coler | what do i do once i put it in ubuntu pastebin | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | coler: get me the link | 00:06 |
| xirrin | And I'm just wondering sense it hasn't been updated in a couple months I read that the 9.4 catalyst is out...is that walkthrough safe to do at this point? | 00:06 |
| Severity1 | yep | 00:06 |
| mgmuscari | hmmm, on a 320gb drive, with 3 200gb drives for general storage, what would be a good size for /usr? | 00:06 |
| JavaAtom | So, I've got a dumb question: how would I strip out the gnome / system tray stuff in 9.04 so that I can do things manually / without requiring gnome? | 00:06 |
| coler | how? I am kind of new | 00:06 |
| mgmuscari | i hate trying to arbitrarily pick sizes for partitions | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | coler: copy and paste the pastebin link | 00:06 |
| xirrin | I know its not the "ubuntu approved way", but I'm curious as to if it would work sense a number of people seem to have had good luck with it | 00:06 |
| joaopinto | JavaAtom, you can always do things manually, just CTRL-ALT-F1 :) | 00:07 |
| coler | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 00:07 |
| mgmuscari | xirrin: i've installed FGLRX manually from ATi's site since 9.4 came out | 00:07 |
| JavaAtom | joaopinto: right. I want to load my own window manager and not have to deal with nm-applet. | 00:07 |
| Severity1 | xirrin: i used eny to install my ati and nvidia | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: yeah as far as I know ppa's aren't 100% supported by Ubuntu | 00:07 |
| coler | thats not right | 00:07 |
| Severity1 | *envy | 00:07 |
| mgmuscari | xirrin: you might want to build a deb and install it with the package manager so that it's easy to remove later on :) | 00:07 |
| fortuna66 | mp3! | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | coler: no for what you put on pastebin | 00:08 |
| xirrin | mgmuscari: I have no idea how to do either of those things :( | 00:08 |

| andre | Help... is it possible to install to distro of linux in dual boot using the same partition? | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | coler: if you subbmited there should be a number | 00:08 |
| joaopinto | JavaAtom, if you want your windows manager, you will need to set tp the xinitrc scripts for it | 00:08 |
| mgmuscari | i think the walkthrough tells you how to build a deb for your distro | 00:08 |
| joaopinto | andre, only with wubi | 00:08 |
| mgmuscari | i don't remember off the top of my head atm | 00:08 |
| mgmuscari | any thoughts on a good size for /usr? ;) | 00:08 |
| coler | i didnt write anything under poster | 00:08 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: why are you making it a separate partition? | 00:08 |
| JavaAtom | joaopinto: which I'm more than willing to do. My main issue is that no matter what i do, when I run my chosen window manager, I still have gnome-based crap to deal with | 00:08 |
| coler | any i see nothing that says submit | 00:09 |
| mgmuscari | raylu: i like to keep things separated | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: that link you gave me, is probably ok | 00:09 |
| joaopinto | JavaAtom, that is because your xinitrc scripts are calling gnome/gdm apps/scripts | 00:09 |
| eseven73 | coler, use paste.ubuntu.com if you can | 00:09 |
| Severity1 | pinion: that's as far as i can go right now, but i will tell you if anything comes to mind | 00:09 |
| andre | joaopinto: what is wubi | 00:09 |
| needhelp1 | sebsebseb: thanks my install worked | 00:09 |
| joaopinto | !wubi | andre | 00:09 |
| ubottu | andre: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 00:09 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: but if you don't use some space you allocate, you've wasted it. if you use more than you allocate, you're screwed | 00:09 |
| pinion | Severity1: Thank you | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | xirrin: however it's usually best to stay with the standard Ubuntu generic kernel | 00:09 |
| mgmuscari | raylu: that's why i hate partitioning | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: ok good | 00:10 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: in general, unless you have a good reason, you should stick with a single partition for everything else | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: so you been using it today? | 00:10 |
| JavaAtom | joaopinto: alright, can you point me to a web page that can tell me how to set things up? | 00:10 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: the only thing it makes sense to keep separate are /home and /boot, in my opinion | 00:10 |
| needhelp1 | sebsebseb: yeah | 00:10 |
| raylu | *things | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: did you get that link I left you? | 00:10 |
| Severity1 | pinion: have you tried searching synaptics for those missing packages? | 00:10 |
| sere | how do i start a movie in another screen | 00:10 |
| coler | how do i use pastbin. I pasted the stuff there, now what | 00:10 |
| needhelp1 | yeah.. i need help editing my grub menu now | 00:10 |
| sere | for tvout | 00:10 |
| mgmuscari | raylu: try installing a different distro or upgrading by doing an install from disc with everything on one massive partition, and you'll understand why i do it this way :p | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | !pastebin | coler | 00:10 |
| ubottu | coler: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 00:10 |
| BrixSat | where dos ubuntu stores all its users? and how can i add a user able to become sudo | 00:10 |
| needhelp1 | as of now.. it says it will auto load the highlighted listing in 10 seconds.. which is ubutnu.. i need to change that to auto load windows | 00:11 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: i've installed lots of distros... it's not like i keep /usr across distros | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: ah right yeah | 00:11 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: or even across versions | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: that's easy enough | 00:11 |
| RHorse | coler: you press *send* after filling in the form | 00:11 |
| andre | ubottu: joaopinto, ok it like running virtual machine in a program on windows ! all right , its not what i;m looking for | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: also I though 3 seconds was the default boot up time? | 00:11 |
| mgmuscari | raylu: i usually at least keep /usr/local across distros/versions | 00:11 |
| needhelp1 | it waits 10 seconds and if you dont pick a selection .. it auto loads the top of the list | 00:12 |
| RHorse | coler: then copy the address frm the add bar at top of browser | 00:12 |
| mgmuscari | raylu: i hope you at least put /home on a separate partition | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: yep | 00:12 |
| jaek | with the "mobile broadband" tab, are you supposed to be able to use a bluetooth phone with that? | 00:12 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: i do. but stuff that i need to compile in one distro i may not in another | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: your going to edit the file for that and have Windows at the top, then Windows should boot up first | 00:12 |
| coler | there is no send, just poster, syntax, contents and paste | 00:12 |
| raylu | mgmuscari: and even if i do, they may use different gcc, etc. | 00:12 |
| jaek | i don't see where you enter the phone device (/dev/rfcomm0) | 00:12 |
| needhelp1 | sebsebseb: any idea how to do that? | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: however here's something to note, when you install a new kernel, that will become the top, and be the default boot, untill you change again | 00:12 |
| needhelp1 | sebsebseb: hum | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: of course done this a few or so times on the other computer | 00:12 |
| andre | then how could i partition one HD into more than 4 partition, because gparted doesn't allow it. | 00:12 |
| needhelp1 | sebsebseb: im on the windows partition now.. is that ok? | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: have you installed all of Ubuntu's updates? | 00:13 |
| needhelp1 | yeah | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: no unless you do Ext3 driver or something, but that's a bit silly for this anyway | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | needhelp1: re boot into Ubuntu and come back | 00:14 |
| needhelp1 | kk brb | 00:14 |
| nalioth | i've installed dansguardian, and now i can't get on the internet at all :( | 00:14 |
| nalioth | with my main machine | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | nalioth: sounds like some sort of firewall you put on? | 00:14 |
| mgmuscari | another reason i like to partition certain things separately is because then i can mount them as read only | 00:14 |
| nalioth | sebsebseb: followed the howtos on the ubuntuforums | 00:14 |
| eseven73 | sebsebseb, it's a parental control app | 00:14 |
| eseven73 | if im not mistaking | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | nalioth: hardware firewalls are the best by the way | 00:15 |
| tsa | hi there | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | eseven73: oh, ok well I don't really know about it obviously, but you do it seems, so hopefuly you can help him | 00:15 |
| Guest82793 | virtualbox, i see usb in jaunty machine , not in 7 machine | 00:15 |
| tsa | got a question concerning ubuntu-themes, could sb pm me? ^^ | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | andre: to get more then 4 partitions, one must be an extended partition, that then holds logical partitions. | 00:15 |
| eseven73 | no I don't know much about it | 00:15 |
| buakeka | does anyone know what software I need to back up my drive as an image and load the image? | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | tsa: you could probably get your answer from the channel, if you ask the actsaul question | 00:16 |
| nalioth | sebsebseb: i don't need or waht a firewall, but evidently dansguardian needs one to work | 00:16 |
| adenine | i need to repartition my drive without destroying my current ubuntu installation...how can i do this? | 00:16 |
| nalioth | and now i can't get to the internet from that box at all | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | nalioth: no I don't know if it needs one, since I don't know that app | 00:16 |
| eseven73 | nailora, have you tried uninstalling it? | 00:16 |
| coler | http://paste.ubuntu.com/173951/ | 00:16 |
| coler | i think thats it | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | nalioth: I just thought you had done something with a firewall and stopped yourself from getting on net, that's all | 00:16 |
| wolter | which are the drivers for the foxconn I video card? | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | adenine: gparted perhaps.. but that can some times confuse the bootloader.. you may need to tweak the /boot/grub/menu.lst afterwards depending on what you do | 00:16 |
| coler | pclinux and mint dont work | 00:17 |
| nalioth | sebsebseb: on ubuntuforums, there is a howto with "dansguardian" "firehol" and "tinyproxy" - that is the one i've followed | 00:17 |

| coler | sebsebseb did u get it | 00:17 |
| tsa | * skin <=> theme | 00:18 |
| eseven73 | firehol is not an easy firewall app | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | coler: yes that's it, remind me of the issue, something to do with Mint | 00:18 |
| adenine | i've read about gparted, but i remember someone mentioning being able to do it from a livecd | 00:18 |
| adenine | i just can't remember what exactly | 00:18 |
| wildc4rd | what is the prefered app for running an SQL server on 9.04? | 00:18 |
| eseven73 | even with webmin interface to Firehol, it can be difficult to set up | 00:18 |
| amanda-b | wildc4rd, define "app." | 00:18 |
| coler | when i click on Mint or pc linux i get something like busy box | 00:18 |

| coler | and it cant find something | 00:19 |
| mgmuscari | let's assume i have separate partitions for /home, /var, /tmp, /opt, /usr, /usr/local. how much space does ubuntu 9.04 require on / then? | 00:19 |
| coler | is there also a way of telling which os is on which partintion w/ linux | 00:19 |
| Flannel | mgmuscari: erm... very little. | 00:19 |
| mgmuscari | that's what i figured | 00:19 |

| sebsebseb | coler: why was I asking for menu.list humm, can't remember that now either, well it's up there some where | 00:19 |

| andresj_live | hello, I need advice on how big should I make my / partition. I will have a separate /home partition. I install almost every program I can find---altough I am trying to cut back on that. Would 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 GiB be a good size for my / partition? I have 100 GiB of available space for / and /home. | 00:22 |
| mgmuscari | flannel: think like 5GB for / ? | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | coler: hummm you got a lot of OS's on there | 00:22 |
| mgmuscari | andresj_live: i'm trying to figure out good partition sizes right now too :D | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | coler: XP, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Mint | 00:22 |
| mgmuscari | andresj_live: stick around for a few minutes and i'll pastebin you the final partition map i come up with | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | coler: Do you know about virtual machines? ,because if you got enough RAM, doing vm's is probably way better than quad booting all of that | 00:23 |
| andresj_live | mguscari, ok awesome; thank you! :) | 00:23 |
| andresj_live | mgmuscari: * | 00:23 |
| mgmuscari | how well do people like ext4 here? i haven't used it too much yet except for on my laptop. seems good and stable so far | 00:23 |
| tsa | I've got a new ubuntu theme, but it also changes my input fields in firefox, is there a way to fix that (my input fields are actually black at the moment ^^)? | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: some think it's really unstable, others think it's good | 00:24 |
| coler | should i reinstall mint | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | mgmuscari: biggest issue ive seen/heard of - is that other livecd/rescue/older disrtos dont support it yet. But i imagine that will change soon. | 00:24 |
| mgmuscari | sebsebseb: what are the arguments given for instability? | 00:24 |
| Guest82793 | i use ext4 for / and for home | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | coler: which OS is the one that has the problem? | 00:24 |
| coler | will wubu take care of this | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | coler: i reccomend using the normal ubuntu over 'mint' | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: well what's in the release notes | 00:24 |

| [Tequila] | ok honestly how the heck to transfer video to ipod | 00:25 |
| Guest82793 | ext4 works well | 00:25 |
| coler | but mint is the most important because it doesnt take as much memory | 00:25 |
| slipttees | hi all | 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | coler: how much RAM do you have? | 00:25 |
| coler | 1 | 00:25 |

| sebsebseb | coler: yes | 00:26 |
| coler | cause virtual machines in windows is very slow | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | coler: what I would suggest is that you pick a distro to have as your host OS, and then virtual machine any others | 00:26 |
| [Tequila] | What program can transfer video to ipod? cannot find anything | 00:26 |
| Severity1 | yep | 00:26 |
| tsa | I've got a new ubuntu theme, but it also changes my input fields in firefox, is there a way to fix that (my input fields are black at the moment, not very easy to read ^^)? | 00:26 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about l2tp | 00:26 |
| mgmuscari | meh i guess i'll just stick to ext3 | 00:26 |
| Severity1 | and you dont have to restart your pc when you want to use a different OS | 00:26 |
| mgmuscari | andresj_live: from what i understand ext3->ext4 shouldn't be so difficult | 00:26 |
| coler | is there a way to delete mint and pclinux | 00:27 |

| sebsebseb | coler: Windows as host is always a bit hum, I woudn't recommend that much anymore, unless people need it, say 3D Windows gaming or something | 00:27 |
| fil_ | How can I use nautilus with TABS, I have 2.22.5.1. | 00:27 |
| andresj_live | mgmuscari: no it was quite easy, actually---took like 30secs | 00:27 |
| mgmuscari | andresj_live: makes sense | 00:27 |
| andresj_live | mgmuscari: it was the opposite way which is not supported yet. although it theoretically should be | 00:27 |
| coler | yes it is very slow | 00:27 |
| slipttees | !l2tp | 00:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about l2tp | 00:27 |

| kiloblaster | anyone that helps me out with Alien Invasion please??? | 00:28 |
| coler | also is there a way to delete or unistall mint and pclinux, ot should i start over | 00:28 |

| coler | ubuntu | 00:28 |
| hacktolive | coler: VMware Workstation and VirtualBox are the best ones | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | kiloblaster: heh is this a slight troll, or do you want help with the program Alien? | 00:29 |
| hacktolive | coler: VMware Workstation does not seems to work properly with Ubuntu 9.04 | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | coler: indeed at what hacktolive said, however workstation is a paid for commercial app, Virtualbox isn't though | 00:29 |
| mgmuscari | andresj_live: that makes partitioning trickier; i'm just wiping this 320gb drive that i had several windows installations on. finally broke my marriage to MS by getting a new audio interface that works in linux | 00:29 |
| kiloblaster | i installed Alien Invasion but it doesn't start on Ubuntu... | 00:29 |
| coler | vmare in windows is awful | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | kiloblaster: oh the game I see | 00:29 |
| kiloblaster | yeah :) | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | kiloblaster: I assume it uses some pretty nice graphics, you got graphics card driver installed? | 00:30 |
| tsa | Other Question, is there any way to get 3d acceleration running on Ubuntu 9.04 for my NVIDIA Geforce 9600GT? | 00:30 |

| andresj_live | mgmuscari: hahaha; well yeah, I used fdisk to get rid of the extended partitions I had, and now I'm harnessing the power of GParted to resize/move my 100GiB partition, and create the other two I need. | 00:30 |
| kiloblaster | nvidia 180... or something like that | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | coler: Virtual machines probably work better on Desktop Linux | 00:30 |
| edgars1 | I am having trouble configuring sound in my ubuntu jaunty. Can someone help? | 00:30 |
| mgmuscari | andresj_live: gutsy | 00:30 |
| slipttees | _Linuxx_: ow thx | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | coler: yes you can start over or just get rid of the os's you don't want | 00:31 |
| slipttees | :D | 00:31 |
| andresj_live | mgmuscari: gutsy? Im about to install jaunty from intrepid | 00:31 |
| coler | how do i get rid of mint/pclinux | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | coler: delete the partitions on the Ubuntu Live CD from partition editor. that would do it | 00:31 |
| tsa | doesn't work, if I try to activate the driver it tells me to restart and afterwards errors not to have a working kernel or something | 00:31 |
| TheDude | Is there an openvpn server that can be used with windows clients, and can someone point me to a tutorial on configuring it on ubuntu server? | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | coler: of course backup any data you have in there first | 00:31 |
| coler | and how do i remove it from the grub menu | 00:31 |
| _Linuxx_ | TheDude : look for PPTP | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | coler: by editing menu.list sudo gksudo /boot/grub/menu.list | 00:32 |
| TheDude | _Linuxx_ thank you | 00:32 |
| lstarnes | coler: edit the menu.lst on the partition that grub is running from | 00:32 |

| sebsebseb | kiloblaster: maybe, depending on what the issue is | 00:32 |
| coler | can you do it and then i could cut and past | 00:32 |
| edgars1 | I am having trouble configuring sound in my ubuntu jaunty. Can someone help?:-/ | 00:33 |
| JGodbout | I can only seem to get 1 program playing sound at once. Like if I have rhythmbox open, then youtube can't play sound, and as soon as I close rhythmbox, youtube sound starts working. This is a fresh installation (1 week old), and have done very little tinkering with the sound. | 00:33 |
| mgmuscari | andresj_live: by gutsy i meant that's brave of you :p | 00:33 |
| kiloblaster | sebsebseb: it's simple... i installed it using the terminal...all done...then i click on "start" but nothing happens | 00:33 |
| tsa | kiloblaster: doesn't work, if I try to activate the driver it tells me to restart and afterwards errors not to have a working kernel or something | 00:33 |
| fil_ | How can I use nautilus with TABS, I have 2.22.5.1. | 00:33 |

| clepto | hi i need some help... i made the mistake of installing ubuntu on my laptop before i installed my windows vista partition and now my vista wont install becuase it says it cant modify to boot sector... how do erase grube from the boot sector intirely so i can install vista? | 00:33 |
| andresj_live | mgmuscari: oh LOL forgot that the names of the ubuntu's versions are actually adjectives :P | 00:33 |
| lstarnes | fil_: I don't think tabs are supported in nautilus except in 2.26 | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | coler: you can edit the menu.list file yourself, it's rather straight forward | 00:33 |
| === [o_O] is now known as danopia | ||
| mgmuscari | haha | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | coler: you can open the partitions now. from computer and see what size they are | 00:34 |
| fil_ | lasternes: how can I update with some deb package? I'm using ubuntu 8.04. | 00:34 |
| mgmuscari | anybody have an opinion on a good size for /opt? | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: hum | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: a seperate /opt that's not needed | 00:34 |
| lstarnes | fil_: I don't know if there are such updates for ubuntu 8.04 | 00:34 |
| JGodbout | Any help on being able to have multiple programs to play sound at once? | 00:34 |
| === saulus_ is now known as SauLus | ||
| fil_ | lasternes: if I compile it myself, will it work? | 00:34 |
| mgmuscari | sebsebseb: i really like to keep separate partitions for most things so that / doesn't ever run out of space by accident | 00:35 |
| lstarnes | fil_: it might, but a deb would probably be safer | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: well it won't, as long as you do a good size for / :) | 00:35 |
| lstarnes | fil_: check for PPAs on launchpad for gnome | 00:35 |
| mgmuscari | sebsebseb: i've got plenty of space to throw around here, so i don't mind if i waste a bit | 00:35 |
| clepto | anyone? | 00:35 |
| princess | can i change the program to windows without have to buy the software because ubuntu does't let me dowload anything | 00:35 |
| lstarnes | fil_: however, the only officially supported version of gnome on 8.04 is the one that comes with 8.04 | 00:35 |
| coler | theres no other way, like can i go into each partition and look in a certain place | 00:35 |
| edgars1 | I am having trouble configuring sound in my ubuntu jaunty. Can someone help?:-/ | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | clepto | 00:36 |
| ubottu | clepto: 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 | 00:36 |
| mgmuscari | princess: windows is retail software; you have to pay to get it | 00:36 |
| RHorse | !sound | edgars1 | 00:36 |
| ubottu | edgars1: 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 | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | !sound | edgars1 | 00:36 |
| clepto | sebsebseb: that isnt the problem... i want to remove grub entirely | 00:36 |
| antonello | . | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | clepto: the Vista DVD will overwrite Grub if you let it, and then you can re install Grub | 00:37 |
| fil_ | lstarnes: thanks | 00:37 |
| princess | so can i get help in downloading programs because this doesn't let me download anything | 00:37 |
| Crayboff | !internet sharing | 00:37 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:37 |
| clepto | sebsebseb: it keeps saying it cant modify the boot sector and closes out | 00:37 |
| edgars1 | ubottu: thanks, i will try that | 00:37 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:37 |
| mgmuscari | princess: what are you trying to download? | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | clepto: oh the Vista DVD?? | 00:37 |
| clepto | sebsebseb: yes | 00:37 |
| kiloblaster | sebsebseb: if i enter ./ufo ai in the terminal it says "error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 00:37 |
| kiloblaster | " where do i get those? | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | clepto: Grub can boot Vista and Ubuntu of course :) | 00:38 |
| MaT-dg | does windows 7 (RC) still overwrites GRUB? | 00:38 |
| coler | how do i access the parttion editor | 00:38 |
| clepto | sebsebseb: i know ive used it before and never had this problem | 00:38 |
| princess | i have a zune and cannot download the program and also i have an xbox 360 and am not able to use my laptop becaus ethey only work with windows | 00:38 |
| Crayboff | how can I enable internet sharing? I want to connect my Xbox to my laptop for internet access. I can do it in Vista | 00:38 |
| lstarnes | kiloblaster: do you have libcurl3-gnutls ? | 00:38 |
| Sniper606 | has anyone here ever compiled sagemath, if so how long did it take? | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | kiloblaster: sudo apt-get install program maybe? I can't really help with your issue it seems | 00:38 |
| princess | ive tried downloading photoshop it does not work | 00:38 |
| kiloblaster | lstarnes: how do i know if i have it or not? | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | princess: I see | 00:38 |
| kiloblaster | sebsebseb: thanks anyway :) | 00:39 |
| princess | ive tried downloading aim it does not work either | 00:39 |
| clepto | sebsebseb: its wierd man ive used qtparted to completely kill the partition table on the laptop and it still boots to grub | 00:39 |
| mgmuscari | princess: just out of curiosity, how did you end up with ubuntu? ubuntu is a version of the Linux operating system. software built for MS Windows won't run without some tweaking | 00:39 |
| coler | is there a grub menu program that one can install ontop of ubuntu | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | princess: ok | 00:39 |
| geirha | princess: Photoshop is a windows program, not a linux program. | 00:39 |
| mgmuscari | princess: Ubuntu comes with a program called Pidgin that can be used for the AIM protocol. i like it :) | 00:39 |
| kiloblaster | geirha: you could use Wine for that... | 00:39 |
| eseven73 | GIMP ftw! | 00:39 |
| lstarnes | kiloblaster: aptitude show libcurl3-gnutls. or installit and see if it works after installing | 00:39 |
| mgmuscari | princess: if you want, i can help you install a program that will allow you to install and run many windows programs. it's called Wine | 00:39 |
| princess | okay how do i do that | 00:40 |
| JGodbout | But a better option would be to use GIMP/Pidgin | 00:40 |
| JGodbout | You don't need photoshop | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | princess: also if your computer has enough RAM, and you got a Windows CD, you can run Windows inside Ubuntu inside what's called a virtual machine | 00:40 |
| RHorse | coler: you just open up menu.list from the last distro you installed, located in /boot/grub and erase the lines you don't want. | 00:40 |
| wip | hi | 00:40 |
| JGodbout | You can install GIMP for free, and it is very similar to photoshop. | 00:40 |
| eseven73 | you can only use Photoshop 2 on WINE, as far as I know anyways | 00:40 |
| MaT-dg | kiloblaster: still problems with CS3 and CS4 though | 00:40 |
| eseven73 | CS2* | 00:40 |
| kiloblaster | lstarnes: it says that i have it istalled... | 00:40 |
| mgmuscari | she wants to be able to use windows programs on her Ubuntu notebook, so i think it's appropriate for her to have Wine | 00:40 |
| wip | just installed jaunty, but i cannot use my wacom with HID anymore! anyone knows why? | 00:40 |
| kiloblaster | mat-dg: yeah it's true...but older like 6.0 works fine as far as i know | 00:40 |
| clepto | sebsebseb: so how do i manually remove grub? | 00:40 |
| princess | because the ubuntu was installed on my laptop when i purchased it | 00:40 |
| wip | it's not a problem with permission (i am root) | 00:41 |
| mgmuscari | princess: at the top of the screen, click on System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | clepto: you need something that overwrites the MBR | 00:41 |
| geirha | kiloblaster: Yes, but it doesn't work 100% | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | clepto: and then you can get rid of /boot/grub and that as well | 00:41 |
| kiloblaster | geirha: better than nothing no? ;) | 00:41 |
| mgmuscari | princess: it will ask you for your administrator password. you should have this because you either had to set it yourself, or your computer came with documentation containing it | 00:41 |
| clepto | sebsebseb: i already have deleted the boot partition so now i just need to do the mbr | 00:41 |
| Ax-Ax | how do i restart the mousehandler when it crashes :S | 00:41 |
| princess | okay it opened up | 00:42 |
| eseven73 | very few decent things run in WINE, so I suggest looking into GIMP and or Inkscape princess, just my two cents. | 00:42 |
| mgmuscari | princess: click the "Search" button | 00:42 |
| eseven73 | !info GIMP | 00:42 |

| progre55 | hi people! I've installed ubuntu as dual boot to my cousin, but he, asshole, cannot use it.. so now I have to format it back to ntfs so that his goddamn windows could see it as an extra drive.. how would I do it, please somebody ) appreciate! | 00:42 |
| geirha | kiloblaster: I've gotten used to gimp, and it works better than photoshop in linux ;) | 00:42 |
| mgmuscari | princess: when the Search dialog opens, enter Wine in the box, and click search | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | clepto: ##windows can probably help | 00:42 |
| Lainchan | reformat the whole drive | 00:43 |
| Lainchan | :P | 00:43 |
| princess | okay searching | 00:43 |
| princess | it came up with a few things | 00:43 |
| eseven73 | with added brushes/gradients/fonts gimp can be very very nice | 00:43 |
| mgmuscari | princess: it will take a minute or two. when it's done searching, you will see wine under the package column of the results. right click on it, and click "Mark for installation" | 00:43 |
| kiloblaster | geirha: gimp is FREE and good, but with PS you can do many many things more and GIMP's learning curve is... hard i think | 00:43 |
| mgmuscari | princess: it may ask you to install dependencies. click yes/ok/accept or whatever | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | princess: Ubuntu can do most things Windows can, but yes there are differences here and there, but this site covers a lot of the basics http://www.ubuntuguide.org | 00:44 |
| Lainchan | GIMP also has some plugin that gives it functions like ps i believe. Pretty sure i heard it on lifehacker or gizmodo. | 00:44 |
| mgmuscari | princess: after all that, click "Apply" at the top. it will take a few minutes while all the packages to be installed are downloaded and configured | 00:44 |

| m0u5e | which currently works better gnash or swfdec? | 00:45 |
| mgmuscari | princess: Synaptic Package Manager contains a whole lot of programs that are made to do a lot of the things you normally do in windows. they are all installed using the same process that i just gave to you. you can uninstall them by performing the same steps and selecting "mark for removal." the whole thing is pretty streamlined and in my opinion easier than windows | 00:45 |
| mgmuscari | princess: welcome to Linux :) | 00:45 |

| princess | thanks so much, so now i can download programs? | 00:46 |
| RHorse | !sound | byte^ | 00:46 |
| ubottu | byte^: 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 | 00:46 |
| eseven73 | !apt | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | princess: Synaptic is good, but if you know the name of the Linux program that you want to install, it's much quicker and easier to install it via the command line. applications > assesories > terminal then running the sudo apt-get install wine command would download and install it for you | 00:46 |
| 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) | 00:46 |
| mgmuscari | once Wine is installed, if you download a windows .exe file, you can run it by right clicking on the icon, and selecting "run with wine" | 00:46 |
| MaT-dg | kiloblaster: I don't think the learning curve is harder for gimp, but when u are used to PS it can be confusing and weird | 00:46 |
| mgmuscari | princess: "run with wine" might not be the exact name of the selection, but i don't remember off the top of my head | 00:47 |
| byte^ | Come on, no one can help me with my sound card? | 00:47 |
| gwhip | how do i use ctl-alt-backspace again? --> it's not working | 00:47 |
| mgmuscari | princess: Wine will handle the installation and uninstallation of "windows" programs for you. I recommend that you do not try to install photoshop as it can be a hassle | 00:47 |
| Ax-Ax | aah is there some way to reinitiate the mouse handler by cli? | 00:47 |
| eseven73 | wine setup.exe I think it is | 00:47 |
| MaT-dg | gwhip: It's disabled by default in jaunty | 00:48 |
| mgmuscari | princess: Ubuntu comes with a program called the GIMP Image Editor that is similar in function | 00:48 |
| mgmuscari | eseven73: she probably doesn't want to use the command line | 00:48 |
| JGodbout | Yeah | 00:48 |
| princess | i tried the gimp image editor and did not like it...it seemed complicated | 00:48 |
| gwhip | how do i reenable it | 00:48 |
| JGodbout | Go to Applications -> Add/Remove... | 00:48 |
| eseven73 | and there's always Adobe Illustrator clone, Inkscape | 00:48 |
| JGodbout | And search GIMP in the search bar | 00:48 |
| mgmuscari | princess: no more complicated than photoshop... just different | 00:48 |
| Ax-Ax | gimp complicated? :D | 00:48 |
| m0u5e | yeah gimp is gimped :/ | 00:48 |
| eseven73 | you cant master Photoshop in a day, same with GIMP | 00:49 |
| m0u5e | princess: i recommend sticking to adobe photoshop... gimp's UI is really horrible | 00:49 |
| JGodbout | No, it is not. | 00:49 |
| mgmuscari | princess: if you really want to run windows, you can actually run windows virtually inside of ubuntu. the steps to set that up are a bit more complicated, though | 00:49 |
| m0u5e | JGodbout: lets not talk about overlapping toolboxes | 00:49 |
| andresj_live | mgmuscari: not always, really | 00:49 |
| RHorse | princess: I've heard *Elements* runs good in wine. | 00:49 |
| kn100 | hi | 00:49 |

| diskin | I tried to make a copy of audio CD using brasero, and decided to create image and let brasero choose format. It created two files, "brasero.toc" and "brasero". Now I can not burn the image, it's size is ~800K, and it does not fit my blank disk. Is it a known problem? | 00:50 |

Any help here? | 00:59 |
| mgmuscari | princess: the xbox360 is probably looking for a DHCP server to get configuration from. you'd need to run dhcpd on linux to have it act as a server. if you plug the xbox360 into the laptop, you'll only be able to get online with the xbox360 when the laptop is on | 00:59 |

| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. My experience with webcams in linux.. either you plug them and they work.. or they are totally unsupported.. :( | 01:22 |
| AmnesiaUK | what about Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgnome2.0-cil (>= 2.16.0) | 01:22 |
| josh_boudreau | it shows my cam works in gusty | 01:23 |
| josh_boudreau | but im runnin the newest one | 01:23 |
| EricJ1186 | All right, I did my clean reinstall of 9.04 (sorry for taking so long) | 01:23 |
| EricJ1186 | how do I do my drivers for my graphics card? | 01:23 |
| Codex_ | I still dont understand this GParted thing :( I still keep getting my data deleted... The problem is that there are 4 primary partitions that all have some data in it. And I dont know how to keep the data by change the primary partition to extended one? | 01:23 |
| yaris123456789 | geirha: php | 01:23 |
| Jordan_U | EricJ1186: Most likely System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 01:24 |
| EricJ1186 | No... I was in here earlier at that driver was destroying my X Server | 01:25 |
| AmnesiaUK | EricJ1186, or you can install envyng and do it that way^^ | 01:25 |
| EricJ1186 | I have a Geforce 250 GTS (two of them) | 01:25 |
| AmnesiaUK | EricJ1186, sudo apt-get install envyng-core | 01:25 |
| EricJ1186 | okay, I'll try that | 01:25 |
| AmnesiaUK | then envyng-core -t | 01:25 |
| Jordan_U | EricJ1186: Before you try that know how to recover if it fails! | 01:25 |
| smerz | Codex_: you need to create an extended partition in order to create more partitions in overall on that harddisk, this is not specific to GParted but a general "issue" | 01:26 |
| EricJ1186 | well, so far, I've had to do a clean install | 01:26 |
| EricJ1186 | basically, if I go to the hardware drivers, activate it, then restart, I bot into the terminal, and then I cannot access the GUI or the X Server | 01:26 |
| vitotb | hola | 01:26 |
| Jordan_U | EricJ1186: re-installing just because of bad driver install is overkill :) Next time try booting into recovery mode and choose "Fix X" | 01:27 |
| gubuntero | hola!!! | 01:27 |
| geirha | yaris123456789: Been a while since I've touched php, but from what I can tell, exec does not run the command in a shell. And the shell is the one that interprets the & and $!. | 01:27 |
| Cryptic_1onkey | I am happy to stick with 8.10 long term support addition | 01:27 |
| EricJ1186 | did that | 01:27 |
| Codex_ | smerz: I'm worrying that the xp will be broken if I remove some data. :( | 01:27 |
| EricJ1186 | it said could not fix | 01:27 |
| Jordan_U | Cryptic_1onkey: you mean 8.04? 8.10 is not LTS | 01:27 |
| smerz | Codex_: you currently have 4 _primary_ partitions and not a single extended partition correct? | 01:27 |
| vitotb | buenas noches, lo siento es que no controlo mucho el ingles (estoy en ello) | 01:27 |

| gubuntero | de donde sos vitotb??? | 01:28 |
| geirha | yaris123456789: Try with popen instead | 01:28 |
| smerz | Codex_: that's the limit if i recall correctly, I suggest backing up the data from the 4th partition, delete it and create an extended partition | 01:28 |
| vitotb | tengo un problema con apache y mysql, alguien puede ayudar, gracias | 01:28 |

| AmnesiaUK | is anyone familiar with: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgnome2.0-cil (>= 2.16.0) ? | 01:28 |
| smerz | something like that | 01:28 |
| kn100 | how can i disable checksum checks | 01:28 |
| AmnesiaUK | or atleast know a solution | 01:28 |
| kn100 | or disable archive integrity checks | 01:29 |
| tsukasa_ | anyone know how i can get my ssh server to be resilient to slow packets (and not drop the connection). Such as, for example, incredibly onerous deep packet inspection on one side of the ssh | 01:29 |
| smerz | kn100: what type of file is it? executable? or a compressed archive? | 01:29 |
| kn100 | a .run file | 01:29 |
| lstarnes | AmnesiaUK: you need a version of libgnome2.0-cil newer than or equal to 2.16.0 | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | EricJ1186: Do you remember the exact wording or closer to it? I don't see how that feature would say that fixing failed as it basically just resets your xog.conf | 01:29 |
| kn100 | ive set it to be executable and tried running it | 01:29 |

| smerz | Codex_: then that's the easiest way, make sure you dont get mixed up between your partitions | 01:32 |
| smerz | kn100: i dont know if you can manually unpack that file | 01:33 |
| Codex_ | smerz: hope this live installation can easily mount the ntfs drives :) | 01:33 |
| kn100 | how can i try | 01:33 |
| smerz | kn100: sh ./some-run-package --extract-only target_directory | 01:33 |
| AmnesiaUK | dayo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/173974/ | 01:33 |
| smerz | apparently thats the command to only unpack a .run file | 01:34 |
| smerz | Codex_: it can easily mount ntfs files, but i dont know if GParted can resize NTFS partitions | 01:34 |
| smerz | err drives i mean of course | 01:34 |
| smerz | I have 3-4 nts filesystems here which i really want to swap over to ext4 | 01:34 |
| kn100 | smerz will try now | 01:34 |
| AmnesiaUK | lstarnes, S partitions | 01:35 |
| Codex_ | smerz: at least the installation program can do that, since I already resized them few times. But couldnt create extended partition yet. :) | 01:35 |
| myself | w00t | 01:35 |
| AmnesiaUK | lstarnes, http://paste.ubuntu.com/173974/ * | 01:35 |
| dayo | AmnesiaUK: that's odd. looks like it's not installed | 01:35 |
| AmnesiaUK | dayo, :S | 01:36 |
| smerz | Codex_: yeah the trick for the extended partition is that the extended partition in itself is a "primary partition" in which you write data for other partitions, so if you have 4 primary partitions you cannot create an extended partition even if you have XXX gb space unpartitioned | 01:36 |
| smerz | Codex_: as i said this is not a GParted thing, this applies to all partition programs | 01:36 |
| AmnesiaUK | dayo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/173976/ | 01:37 |
| dayo | AmnesiaUK: start synaptic and search for libgnome2.0-cil. if the box next to the package name is green, then it's installed. if it's not green, then install via synaptic. | 01:37 |

| Crayboff | alright, i'll look into it smerz | 01:41 |
| Crayboff | princess: it is an alternate network manager | 01:41 |

| Jordan_U | Crayboff: Is there a reason you don't want to use network-manager? | 01:41 |
| lstarnes | AmnesiaUK: sounds like whatever you're installing has outdated dependencies | 01:41 |
| AmnesiaUK | lstarnes, anyway to downgrade? | 01:42 |
| Crayboff | Jordan_U: the problem is, before, network-manager broke on me and I couldn't access the internet at home, only at school, wicd finally made it work | 01:42 |
| dayo | lstarnes: AmnesiaUK: what are u actually trying to install that needs libgnome2? | 01:42 |
| smerz | Jordan_U: because it's buggy? :( I haven't used network manager ever, always ditched it real quick | 01:42 |

| Jordan_U | hacktolive: You can run two X servers | 01:51 |
| AnswerGuy | X only sees one process as the "sessions manager" and will only allow one app to be the window manager (at any given time) | 01:51 |

| coz_ | youwin, in compiz? | 01:53 |
| chuck_ | !pulseaudio|ricree, | 01:53 |
| ubottu | ricree,: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 01:53 |
| youwin | just gnome | 01:53 |
| aiuw | coz_: well, I don't have an internet connection with it | 01:53 |
| coz_ | youwin, oh not sure then | 01:53 |
| hacktolive | Jordan_U: I meant: <ctrl> + <alt> + >f1> | 01:53 |
| Jordan_U | hacktolive: Yes, or you could run one X server inside a window within the other with xnest / xepher | 01:53 |
| donavan01 | coz_ its a radion x500 | 01:53 |

| Crayboff | can someone here help me with Firestarter setup? | 01:54 |
| ricree | thank you chuck, but I already went through that guide and haven't been able to get it to work. Do you have and other suggestions? | 01:54 |
| coz_ | donavan01, ok which version of cairo-dock do you have? cairo-dock --version | 01:54 |
| youwin | right now it sohws a blue border around the new size of the window, you list the mouse button and it goes to that size | 01:54 |
| youwin | how is it done with compiz? | 01:54 |
| AnswerGuy | hacktolive: you could run multiple X servers with startx -- :1 & startx -- :2 --- and yes, you'd switch among them using [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F*] keys (or using the chvt command) | 01:54 |
| donavan01 | coz_ 2.0 | 01:54 |
| coz_ | youwin, are you sure that is not compiz? | 01:54 |
| hacktolive | Jordan_U: interesting, thanks a lot | 01:54 |
| innovate2000 | ericj: what does "dmesg tail" return? | 01:55 |
| youwin | i have the best appearance settings | 01:55 |
| chuck_ | ricree, hold tight | 01:55 |
| coz_ | donavan01, ok you have to start cairo dock without opengl with an ati card right now | 01:55 |
| youwin | windows jiggle | 01:55 |
| AnswerGuy | hacktolive: or you could run Xnest or Xepher ... to run one X server in a window within another | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | EricJ1186: OK, do you remember where you put the nvidia driver installer? | 01:55 |
| coz_ | donavan01, to do that by terminal the command is cairo-dock | 01:55 |
| coz_ | donavan01, and could I see a screenshot of your pixelated icons? | 01:55 |
| Crayboff | can someone here help me with Firestarter setup? | 01:55 |
| EricJ1186 | no, I used envyng and it did it on it's own | 01:55 |
| coz_ | donavan01, they should not be pixelated because they are all ... or should be.. svg | 01:55 |
| AnswerGuy | hacktolive: or you could configure a VNC server to run KDE or GNOME (and access that via a VNC viewer, which, of course, would run in a window under your other X | 01:56 |
| pw-toxic | where can i find my grub config file? my windows doesnt show up on grub ;/ | 01:56 |
| rcrocker | is anyone using cedega and Ubuntu with the open source ati driver ? | 01:56 |
| youwin | oh sorry it IS compiz, I just put visual settings down to the bottom and it does resize like i want it to | 01:56 |
| m0u5e | ugh so i tried both swfdec and gnash, and i have to say while swfdec may seem more of a flash hack, it works better than gnash with flash videos and the such | 01:56 |
| AnswerGuy | hacktolive: you could even create a virtual machine ... and run the "other" environment there (again, connecting to it via a VNC viewer) | 01:56 |
| coz_ | youwin, ok open ccsm and go to the window management category | 01:56 |
| coz_ | youwin, then click on the resize window plugin to get into it's settings | 01:57 |
| youwin | ah ok, I needed to install the compiz configuration package | 01:57 |
| chaorain | has anyone figured out how to put photos on the Nintendo DSi? | 01:57 |

| coz_ | youwin, go to the general tab and under Default resize mode choose stretch but not normal that doesn work for anyone really | 01:57 |

| Jordan_U | EricJ1186: Still there? | 01:57 |
| Crayboff | !firestarter | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 01:57 |
| hacktolive | Jordan_U, AnswerGuy: thanks for the good ideas, I really appreciate it | 01:57 |
| EricJ1186 | yeah | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | hacktolive: np | 01:57 |
| EricJ1186 | I wrote - Envyng did my driver | 01:58 |
| coz_ | donavan01, ok | 01:58 |

| EricJ1186 | so I have no idea where it installed it | 01:58 |
| donavan01 | does the print screen button give me a screen shot in ubuntu ? | 01:58 |
| Crayboff | yes | 01:58 |
| AnswerGuy | Speaking of virtual machines ... I've been following the HOWTO on running Ubuntu/KVM at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-8.10-p2 | 01:58 |
| Viper550 | donavan01, and even more conviently, lets you save it | 01:58 |

| Daps | anyone know a good vmware help channel? | 02:00 |
| AnswerGuy | I presume I'm doing something wrong with the bridging | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | chaorain: Not official advice but I would assume that you would still get hardware support from Dell no matter what OS you use | 02:00 |
| youwin | thanks that was it | 02:00 |

| xcqte | Jordan_U: no im not so good at stuf like that ill check it out tho. give me a sec | 02:11 |
| Jordan_U | xcqte: There is certainly a way to mount it, as it's mounted when you are running your wubi install | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | scott9876: depending on the command. you could put the command in /etc/rc.local as a 'fix' | 02:12 |
| xcqte | yes it must sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.disk /mntbut both ubuntu.com and google have failed me | 02:12 |

I read that I might be able to reformat the drive if I zero it out first) - it took most of the day - the drive activity light just stopped - but... | 02:12 |
| innovate2000 | ...the bash prompt has not returned - and I've read that I should not stop the process for fear of further damaging the drive and rendering it unusable. I have a few more cycles of this to do on this drive and the others as well - but I have no idea what to do now - should I continue to just wait? | 02:12 |

| mgmuscari | music is all i use the desktop for anymore anyway | 02:12 |
| coz_ | donavan01, it's more than possible yes also | 02:13 |
| coz_ | donavan01, it could be the config | 02:13 |
| dooner | xcqte, well it is a diskimage so you should be able to mount it. | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | scott9876: so put that command in /etc/rc.local befor the 'exit' line. (that is the last command of the file) | 02:13 |

| GNUix | treyh: cat + grep + a little awk | 02:21 |
| treyh | GNUix: a little awk? | 02:21 |
| smerz | Stepan1: did you try unmounting via GUI under the "computer" section ? | 02:21 |
| dooner | Trunkz, Well you can try. I never upgraded anything to win 7 (as I don't have any windows pcs :)). | 02:22 |
| xcqte | Jordan_U: it is! oh, god thank you so much! | 02:22 |
| coz_ | EricJ1186, tell me when that is finished installing | 02:22 |
| EricJ1186 | I type that all on one line, correct? | 02:22 |
| GNUix | treyh: seriously.. look into ulog | 02:22 |
| donavan01 | coz_ no good still fuzzy and the cario seems to hate the windows Icon ... I think it knows | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | xcqte: np :) | 02:22 |
| dooner | Trunkz, I only installed it clean (workstation + vmware fusion image) | 02:22 |
| coz_ | donavan01, doesnt make sense let me open my dock with just cairo-dock hold on | 02:22 |
| gooody | Jordan_U: so you suggest to run the live cd to determine if 3D acceleration works without the fglrx? | 02:22 |
| Stepan1 | smerz: Just tried. Says unable to mount. No media in drive. | 02:22 |
| pw-toxic | anyone in here having experience with the new linux drivers of creative x-fi soundcard? | 02:23 |
| pw-toxic | i dont get it to work ;( | 02:23 |
| EricJ1186 | it loaded a bit then said "E: couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r | 02:23 |
| coz_ | donavan01, no its not that it looks fine here | 02:23 |
| EricJ1186 | I just installed my Creative X-Fi | 02:23 |
| smerz | Stepan1: it does not offer the unmount option? if so i'll get you the commandline command | 02:23 |
| coz_ | EricJ1186, ok then install the other things | 02:23 |
| EricJ1186 | wait what? | 02:23 |
| EricJ1186 | I was replying to pw-toxic | 02:23 |
| Stepan1 | smerz: thing is, it unmounted by itself. It just disappeared from the panel | 02:24 |
| === asqwe is now known as kalakouentin | ||
| coz_ | EricJ1186, oh ok please use nicks so we know who is talking to whom:) | 02:24 |
| pw-toxic | EricJ1186, can you hear sound with your x-fi at the moment? | 02:24 |
| EricJ1186 | PW-toxic, go here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=976683; follow that topic to the T and you will be fine | 02:24 |
| EricJ1186 | haha, sorry | 02:24 |
| GNUix | Stepan1: what does dmesg say? have you checked /media to see if its still mounted? what happens if you try to umount it from the command line? | 02:25 |
| coz_ | donavan01, did you install this via the repository? | 02:25 |
| EricJ1186 | coz_, I ran that line, and it came back with this: E: couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r | 02:25 |
| smerz | Stepan1: check whats your CD-rom by using "df" then "unmount /dev/hdX" could work, i'm not even sure | 02:25 |
| coz_ | EricJ1186, right so install build-essential and linux-source | 02:25 |
| EricJ1186 | ah, separate things | 02:25 |
| EricJ1186 | sorry | 02:25 |
| Stepan1 | GNUix: not sure what dmesg is, /media has cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1. (i only have 2 drives) | 02:26 |
| coz_ | EricJ1186, did the ubuntu repo glx driver not work? | 02:26 |
| m0u5e | is there a way to have rotating wallpapers, one per each desktop? | 02:26 |
| EricJ1186 | no | 02:26 |
| EricJ1186 | it crashed my Xserver | 02:26 |
| coz_ | m0uSe with compiz yes | 02:26 |
| EricJ1186 | I could only boot into terminal tty1 after installing that, so Jordan helped me get out of it | 02:26 |
| donavan01 | coz_ followed the instruction from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock the Repository section | 02:26 |
| smerz | Stepan1: "sudo eject -r" | 02:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | m0u5e: not w/ gnome(unless you use compiz)... but w/ KDE it can work | 02:27 |
| m0u5e | IndyGunFreak: i am using compiz :D | 02:27 |
| pw-toxic | i have done all those steps and i can choose create ALSA driver X-FI waveOut/WaveIn (ALSA) but when i put the "test" button i get an error: | 02:27 |
| GNUix | Stepan1: run dmesg on the command line.. if the drive was unmounted it should show the message in there.. if not try umount /media/cdrom.. cdrom0,cdrom1 .. or get a paperclip | 02:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | m0u5e: its an option in there somewhere...i don't use compiz, so not sure where | 02:27 |
| Stepan1 | smerz: that ejected my second drive (with no cd in it) | 02:27 |
| donavan01 | coz_ think I should try the .deb files ? | 02:27 |
| treyh | GNUix: ulog will just put the logs into mysql and etc. I want a log file analyzer | 02:27 |
| pw-toxic | audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample !gconfaudiosink: coult not open audio device for plaback. | 02:27 |
| m0u5e | IndyGunFreak: well theres a wallpaper option, but it wont let you auto-rotate after a period of time | 02:27 |
| coz_ | donavan01, mm well either the deb pacakges or compile from svn | 02:27 |
| EricJ1186 | Okay, I have installed the build-essential and linux-source | 02:28 |
| coz_ | donavan01, is this gnome? | 02:28 |
| donavan01 | coz_ yeah | 02:28 |
| coz_ | donavan01, open system/preferences/administration/synaptic package maanger | 02:28 |
| Stepan1 | smerz: output of df http://tinypaste.com/6b148 | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | m0u5e: ok... there was a program in the repositories that i installed (I think in 7.04) that did that | 02:28 |
| coz_ | donavan01, click the Search button and type in cairo-dock | 02:28 |
| EricJ1186 | pw-toxic, I think I had that, what you have to do is once you install the drivers, select your sound card from the preferences>sound menu | 02:28 |
| GNUix | treyh: not true.. ulog will log to whatever file/database you want in a format that readable. If you are looking for something to automaticly read your log files (not the greatest idea) you can look into ossec .. or just google iptables log analyizer | 02:28 |
| Jordan_U | gooody: Yes, and maybe try some of the games you like if you have enough RAM to try them on the LiveCD as even with 3D support it will probably not be as fast as with fglrx ( though suspend and hybernate are more likely to work correctly without fglrx :) | 02:29 |
| coz_ | donavan01, also are you using xchat? | 02:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | !info drapes | m0u5e | 02:29 |

| treyh | GNUix: ty, I will try ulog out | 02:29 |

| IndyGunFreak | m0u5e: i knew there was one.. just couldn't remember what it was called. .. not sure how good iti s nowdays htough | 02:29 |
| kdc1956 | how do you get 3d setup | 02:29 |
| m0u5e | IndyGunFreak: drapes doesnt do what i need it to do, it won't work with compiz and separate workplaces | 02:29 |
| smerz | Stepan1: hmm i'm not sure then :( Can't find a way to tell the eject command which cd-rom to use :( | 02:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | m0u5e: oh ok, gotcha | 02:30 |
| pw-toxic | EricJ1186, maybe i misunderstood you, but i just told you that i tried the "test" button of the "preferences->sound" interface | 02:30 |
| GNUix | treyh: keep in mind I have no clue how Ubuntu and UFW work.. but to utilize ulog you will need to have ULOG rules in your firewall | 02:30 |
| Stepan1 | GNUix: doesnt look like it was unmounted, ill try unmounting those | 02:30 |
| EricJ1186 | coz_, I have the two things installed (build-essential and linux-source) | 02:30 |

| aaron_ | anyone know of video messaging client for aim | 02:30 |

Im wondering is there is a specific way I should store my data there or if im even allowed. this would not be a ubuntu specific question so if its different in other distros please mention that. | 02:30 |

| pw-toxic | EricJ1186, and how did you fix it? ;) | 02:30 |
| m0u5e | aaron_: when empathy catches up, i hear it will support video :) | 02:30 |

| EricJ1186 | pw, click the drop down box and select your card, if it's AAS or something like that click the other | 02:30 |

| [e | how can i share files between two ubuntu machines? not able to find any info on the net... | 02:31 |
| EricJ1186 | okay, let me try that | 02:31 |
| smerz | Stepan1: post the content of /etc/fstab to no-paste | 02:31 |
| stealth- | [e: lots of ways. set up a ftp server (see !ftp) use the scp command, transfer via removable medium. Lots of ways | 02:31 |
| reya276 | How can I play DVD movies in Ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| GNUix | [e: look into NFS shares or scp | 02:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | reya276: add the medibuntu repository, and install libdvdcss2 | 02:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | !medibuntu | reya276 | 02:32 |
| ubottu | reya276: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:32 |
| m0u5e | IndyGunFreak: well, its not a HUGE concern... it'd just be nice if there was a visual cue to inform me when i change workplaces :D | 02:32 |
| Stepan1 | GNUix: umount said all 3 were not mounted accoring to mtab | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | stealth-: Yes, you can write data to /tmp on any *NIX, just be carefull that your app doesn't have a problem with multiple users temporary files having the same name | 02:32 |
| [e | i want to share them through my network connection (router)? | 02:32 |

| coz_ | EricJ1186, try sudo gedit | 02:32 |
| EricJ1186 | maybe I had a typo, let me check | 02:32 |
| stealth- | Jordan_U: awesome, thanks. And I can just write it where-ever | 02:32 |
| GNUix | Stepan1: you can try and manually mount them (then unmount) or use a paperclip to open the tray | 02:32 |
| stealth- | Jordan_U: ? | 02:33 |
| EricJ1186 | cannot open display | 02:33 |
| bastid_raZor | [e; scp would be the easiest way. | 02:33 |

| EricJ1186 | cannot open display | 02:33 |
| tyler_d1 | anyone know dmraid very well? | 02:33 |
| smerz | Stepan1: an quick and dirty way would be to use the paperclip and press into the small hole/button to force ecject it :D | 02:33 |
| EricJ1186 | let me check my string for any typos, maybe I missed something | 02:33 |
| Stepan1 | smerz: fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/173993/ | 02:34 |
| bastid_raZor | [e; yes, you could also mount the other box in the GUI under Places>Connect to Server | 02:34 |
| server2 | no i am not trolling | 02:34 |
| Stepan1 | don't want to use the paperclip, not sure if its still moving | 02:34 |

| elky | i'm having a brain fart... what's the command to do a lookup on a domain and see all the records including mx records? | 02:35 |
| smerz | i dont know which one is which | 02:35 |
| bastid_raZor | [e; you will need the username and password plus ip address.. connect them via ssh | 02:35 |
| unop | elky, dig, nslookup, askmara, etc | 02:35 |
| elky | dig! thaaaaat's it. thanks! | 02:35 |
| server2 | server2 is e-nerd | 02:36 |
| bastid_raZor | [e; it'll ask Service Type.. use SSH in the drop down. that is how i stream movies from one box to another. works easier if you're not familiar with cli | 02:36 |

| ubottu | server2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:36 |
| Jordan_U | stealth-: AFAIK Yes, one other thing you might want to look for depending how robust you want your program to be is that sometimes ( though seldom ) users will specify an alternate tmp directory in the $TMPDIR environment variable | 02:36 |
| reya276 | IndyGunFreak: thanks | 02:36 |

Also, can I change the icon for Filesystem(which I believe is my main Ubuntu file partition) and the Windows and OS X partition icons? | 02:37 |
| EricJ1186 | okay | 02:37 |

| Jordan_U | Tasem: Almost every icon you see ( in any application ) is configurable with varying degrees of dificulty, I think ( thoug I don't use gnome / nautilus myself ) that you can change the drive icons in their properties when you right click them | 02:40 |

| Jeepste1 | I`ll give that a try Jordan_U.. not sure if I did that yesterday | 02:46 |
| smerz | Jeepste1: the desktop is appearing but it uses too high of a frequency, your monitor can't handle it. So you need to go into a safe mode and change the default setting (and the refresh rate in particular) | 02:46 |
| Jeepste1 | BBS | 02:46 |
| Jordan_U | jmspeex: It means that your card is detected and a driver for it is loaded but ( unless there are no open networks in range ) it is not working properly for some reason | 02:47 |

Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:12 |
| tonsofpcs | dooner: right, i want to assign the 'home' key on my eeepc to do it | 03:12 |
| EricJ1186 | Maybe someone can link me to a guide or something? | 03:13 |
| ttmrichter | Found it. I need to install language-pack-en. | 03:13 |
| Decepticon | !cloning | 03:13 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 03:13 |
| ttmrichter | Only en_US.UTF-8 was set. | 03:13 |
| varun | I have one hard drive which is 6 | 03:13 |
| Decepticon | !sbackup | 03:13 |
| ubottu | sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 03:13 |
| sevodnya | jmspeex: yeah, I'm still on intrepid, the interface is different, you may have to find someone who's on the same version. | 03:13 |

| pw-toxic | EricJ1186, do you know if there is 5.1 support with the linux driver of x-fi? | 03:13 |
| llml | Kr0ntab: If I make a tar using files with -rwx------, than what should it be when I untar it on another machince? | 03:13 |
| williamd | llml, same | 03:14 |
| jmspeex | sevodnya: I'm pretty sure it's the same on Intrepid and Jaunty. What makes you think otherwise? | 03:14 |
| williamd | thats why its there | 03:14 |
| EricJ1186 | PW, not sure at all | 03:14 |
| Kr0ntab | llml: yes... the same | 03:14 |
| EricJ1186 | let me check my sound | 03:14 |
| slipttees_ | yo guys | 03:14 |
| sevodnya | jmspeex: the way it's set with regards to making it available to others is different, i believe from having seen screenshots of the new one | 03:15 |
| llml | williamd: With the same owner user id? | 03:15 |
| padge | How is the path defined? | 03:15 |
| slipttees_ | vpn l2tp + ipsec + certificate .p12 works in network-manager ? any plugin ? | 03:15 |
| williamd | this is a good sitee to test your knowledge by answering questions: its like a permanent quiz | 03:15 |
| padge | And where | 03:15 |
| williamd | llml, yes | 03:15 |
| williamd | its for remote access and such | 03:15 |
| Jeepste1 | trying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank | 03:15 |
| ripps | Is there anyway to identify the hosts on a LAN by MAC? My router sometimes changes the IP's with dchp, so I wanted to associate hosts by MAC instead of ip | 03:15 |
| padge | That is to say, the executable' path | 03:15 |
| williamd | llml, there might be ways around it if you are root | 03:16 |
| williamd | set it to open permisions if you wanna use it woithout worries | 03:16 |
| jmspeex | sevodnya: The "make available" is a checkbox when I edited the configuration. But in any case, it didn't work because the GUI doesn't see it at all now (it's in /etc/NetworkManager/whatever.conf but it has no effect) | 03:16 |
| Kr0ntab | llml: also see the -p flag for preserving permissions and uid/gid | 03:17 |
| Kr0ntab | llml: man tar | 03:17 |
| KEROLiUKAS | MY installation is stuck @ 'Starting Ubiquity' any ideas why? | 03:17 |
| varun | 50 gigs and just ubuntu intrepid on it.I used 10gigs for the the files and then used 20 gigs for another partiotion and left the rest for later use.I then later formatted the leftover and mounted it using partition editor gui.Now I have three partitions as u can well understand .The problem is that the amount of space occupied in the third partition which is 7.6 gb now is also showing as the used up space in the ubuntu installed 10 gig | 03:17 |
| varun | space thereby reducing the free space there to just 1 gig | 03:17 |
| EricJ1186 | hello? | 03:17 |
| pw-toxic | EricJ1186, german ubuntu forum says "no 5.1" ;( it it seems that creative wont release further versions to support it ;( damnit... do you know a good soundcard with 5.1 with good drivers and some options? | 03:17 |
| williamd | llml, google it and youll get a much more detailed answer, I often double check what people say cuz its not always the truth | 03:17 |
| EricJ1186 | not really | 03:18 |
| === orochi is now known as orochi_ | ||
| williamd | and then double check google, HA | 03:18 |
| llml | williamd: Yep. I have an other question. I have my OS reinstall, and kept the original account(and it's home folder mount point). Access to the files failed because the owner id changed. Any suggesting? | 03:18 |
| EricJ1186 | pw, I've had no issues with mine to date, and it sounds great in windows, which is where I play games | 03:18 |

| varun | well then anyone here | 03:20 |

| llml | williamd: Actually I have done this: sudo chmod 777 * | 03:20 |
| williamd | chown, not chmod | 03:21 |
| llml | williamd: It's too ugly. I think.. | 03:21 |
| williamd | yes | 03:21 |
| lexvegas | chmod works too | 03:21 |
| lexvegas | but i always have used chown | 03:21 |

| williamd | but the other guy corrected me, i think its chown | 03:21 |
| williamd | both work, cool | 03:21 |
| williamd | now write a shell script to do all your files | 03:22 |

| Dr_Willis | storrgie: you mean game or movie dvds? | 03:22 |
| storrgie | Dr_Willis: movies | 03:22 |
| williamd | Dr_Willis, isnt that an unfixed bug | 03:23 |
| AnswerGuy | progre55: run fdisk (in Linux) ... and delete that partition. | 03:23 |
| AnswerGuy | progre55: run fdisk (in Linux) ... and delete that partition. | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | storrgie: there are apps to copy 'dvd's out there they normally remove the encryption, or rip the thing to avi, then use devede to remake a dvd movie disk. (see k9copy program also) | 03:23 |
| dooner | ngabriel, it should only modify the partitions you have changed . | 03:23 |
| kiloblaster | williamd: i installed the game and when i click on start nothing happens | 03:23 |
| storrgie | Dr_Willis: anything for gnome? | 03:23 |
| williamd | kiloblaster, is it a Linux Game? | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | storrgie: no idea. I normally just rip to avi. and rarely use disks | 03:24 |
| pw-toxic | i have twinview .. i'd like to move a panel to the other screen ;( | 03:24 |
| kiloblaster | williamd: yeah of course | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | pw-toxic: hold down the alt key, click onpanel, drag it over | 03:24 |
| williamd | it may have got messed up with the 9.04 release | 03:24 |
| kiloblaster | williamd: multiplatform it says on the website | 03:24 |
| pw-toxic | Dr_Willis, thanks! | 03:24 |
| bastidrazor | Dr_Willis, in gnome what do you use to rip to avi from an encrypted dvd? | 03:24 |
| williamd | kiloblaster, i had the same problem with Warsow, a FTS | 03:24 |
| AnswerGuy | That should mean that MS Windows' FDISK.EXE wills see it as "available" --- so run that, make it an NTFS partition and the run the Windows disk management software on it. | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | pw-toxic: gets asked about once a week. :) | 03:24 |
| lexvegas | pw-toxic: make sure it is not locked into place | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | bastidrazor: i tend to use dvdrip, not used it in months however | 03:25 |
| pw-toxic | Dr_Willis, there should be entry in the context menu.. | 03:25 |
| llml | Kr0ntab, williamd, lexvegas: Thanks, you guys :) I am trying to make a copy with umask 0022. | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !info dvdrip | 03:25 |
| ubottu | dvdrip (source: dvdrip): perl front end for transcode and ffmpeg. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.9-0.0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1386 kB, installed size 3088 kB | 03:25 |
| con-man | anyone here use world of warcraft via wine? what fps do you get in Dalaran? I get 10-20 and I have a quad core with 4 gigs of ram and a nvidia X275 | 03:25 |
| kiloblaster | williamd: and how did you get it working? | 03:25 |
| LogicFan | there are many rippers | 03:25 |
| williamd | kiloblaster, are you sure that it doesnt need to be built from source? | 03:25 |
| LogicFan | the easiest one is vobcopy | 03:25 |
| gantrixx | When I try to boot from my USB drive (Ubuntu Netbook Remix) it says "No bootable partition". What's wrong? | 03:25 |
| williamd | kiloblaster, i didnt, I removed it | 03:25 |
| LogicFan | which will dump the entire contents of a dvd on your hdd, allowing you to encode it with whatever app you like | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | pw-toxic: i think it used to be 'unlocked by default' and it was too easy to drag them around. :) the alt-key thing is also used to allow easier moving of windows.. so its worth rembering | 03:25 |
| LogicFan | handbrake is one app i really like for encoding | 03:25 |
| kiloblaster | williamd: on the site they make you download a .bin... i chmod +x the file then launch it and the setup goes well | 03:26 |
| KEROLiUKAS | does ubuntu still come via Torrent? | 03:26 |
| LogicFan | or, you can use something like k9copy or dvd::rip for a all-in-one solution | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | KEROLiUKAS: there are torrents of the disk images. yes | 03:26 |
| pw-toxic | Dr_Willis, a "press alt to enable drag&drop" would be enough in the preferences window ;) | 03:26 |
| KEROLiUKAS | point me in the right direction? | 03:26 |
| kiloblaster | williamd: but at the endo of it you have to choose if you want to start the game, and when i click on "yes" nothing moves at all | 03:26 |
| williamd | kiloblaster, you did it correctly it seems, did you google it. I am not familiar with that game | 03:27 |
| KEROLiUKAS | nvm found it | 03:27 |
| williamd | google is smarter than me | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | pw-toxic: file a thing on the brainstorm site :) | 03:27 |

| RHorse | bummer | 03:45 |
| mindrape | spartan2276 did you make even a minimal effort to google? | 03:45 |
| mindrape | spartan2276 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-35591.html | 03:45 |
| Gnea | thee_: what part of it starting is slow? when it's actually appearing or when it's loading the homepage? | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Lyth: theres proberly 'stable' vs 'testing' versions also.. | 03:45 |
| jmspeex_ | RHorse: I can get the network to work manually, but nm does nothing. It's like it doesn't even want to manage anything | 03:45 |
| Lyth | I know, the testing version is 1.1.21, yet It seems as if 1.1.5 is earlier??? | 03:45 |
| mgmuscari | ugh... has anyone experienced system lockup when using D-Link pci wireless adapters in jaunty? | 03:45 |

| RHorse | yea, it's not *that* bad :) | 03:47 |
| Jordan_U | jmspeex_: Shouldn't be a problem with jaunty but try renaming your /etc/networking/interfaces | 03:47 |
| jmspeex_ | Still, why the hell isn't nm doing anything | 03:47 |
| Gnea | thee_: I'm trying to help, it's insulting that you ask for help, start to get it, and then don't even follow through with it. anyway, good luck. | 03:47 |

| bostwick | RAGEQUIT | 03:47 |
| jmspeex_ | Jordan_U: renaming to what? | 03:47 |
| mgmuscari | how about this | 03:47 |
| darthanubis | How can I help you? | 03:48 |
| mgmuscari | anybody experience jaunty freezing with atheros-based wifi cards? | 03:48 |
| darthanubis | mgmuscari, freezing how so? | 03:48 |
| chuck_ | ofx, nope network manager used mobile broadband and set it up asked me my carrier and configured eveything | 03:48 |
| mgmuscari | complete system lockup | 03:48 |
| darthanubis | mgmuscari, basically no, | 03:48 |
| dooner | jmspeex_, does nm see your nic? Wired || Wireless ? | 03:48 |
| seon | i have no sound after installed ubuntu 804 | 03:48 |
| Jordan_U | jmspeex_: Anything, ifupdown used to conflict with network-manager and nm now tries to parse an existing interfaces file, I am hoping it's a bug trying to get a configuration from that file | 03:48 |
| darthanubis | !sound | seon | 03:48 |
| jmspeex_ | dooner: how can I tell if it sees it? | 03:48 |
| ubottu | seon: 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 | 03:48 |
| mgmuscari | i'm getting a lot of google hits on this issue but no solutions | 03:48 |
| darthanubis | mgmuscari, I salute your google-foo | 03:49 |
| Drewsef | Hi, whenever I try to play something with "Movie Player" the player closes right after it opens. What can I do? | 03:49 |
| dooner | mgmuscari, haven't had it freeze, but have had it wig out on WPA2-Enterprise before | 03:49 |
| Jordan_U | jmspeex_: So without a file at /etc/network/interfaces I am hoping it will work, it's just a hunch | 03:49 |
| darthanubis | at least your not lazy | 03:49 |
| HazRPG | Hi guys. | 03:49 |
| mgmuscari | dooner: that's exactly the problem i'm having | 03:49 |
| darthanubis | HazRPG, shoot | 03:49 |
| fil_ | when i lower the opacity of the background of bottom panel (taskbar) everything is fine except the selected tasks dont have transparent background, how can i 'fix' this | 03:49 |
| mgmuscari | dooner: in fact it was fine until i put in my wpa2 key | 03:49 |
| jmspeex_ | Jordan_U: OK, let me try | 03:49 |
| HazRPG | Currently at stage 7/7 on the ubuntu 9.04 installer. | 03:50 |
| omac | I thought I'd drop by and say stardict rocks! | 03:50 |
| dooner | mgmuscari, WPA2 enterprise or Personal? | 03:50 |
| chuck_ | ofx, one of the pleasant surprises in ubuntu | 03:50 |
| mgmuscari | dooner: now i can't start the system (automatically tries to connect). i would remove the card but i can't find a freaking screwdriver >:( | 03:50 |
| mgmuscari | dooner: personal, actually | 03:50 |
| HazRPG | clicked advanced... | 03:50 |
| vesayth | I have an issue with my network manager. I disabled my wireless on network manager temporarily so that I could connect via ethernet. After I was done, and re-enabled wireless, I am no longer able to detect wireless networks. I have just recently upgraded to Jaunty from Intrepid (32 bit) | 03:50 |
| HazRPG | but where shall I install the boot loader (GRUB) to? | 03:50 |
| omac | I can go to a chinese web page and it pops up the english definitions from within firefox. | 03:50 |
| ofx | chuck_, it works for me too, but im getting disconnected after a while... | 03:50 |
| dooner | mgmuscari, hmm I've not had that problem with personal (currently using an atheros card in my netbook in Jaunty) | 03:50 |
| darthanubis | vesayth, weird | 03:50 |
| omac | It even shows the pinyin pronounciation. | 03:50 |
| jmspeex | Jordan_U: rebooting... let's see if that does anything | 03:50 |
| Drewsef | Hi, whenever I try to play something with "Movie Player" the player closes right after it opens. What can I do? | 03:51 |
| ofx | ofx, it's pretty wierd | 03:51 |
| mgmuscari | dooner: perhaps because this is a PCI card in a desktop. it's a d-link dwa-552 | 03:51 |
| mgmuscari | brb | 03:51 |
| mindrape | Drewsef - open it from an xterm and see if it gives any output error msgs. | 03:51 |
| darthanubis | vesayth, if you "just" updated, run a few more updates and refreshes, and then reboot? | 03:51 |
| ofx | chuck_, it's pretty wierd, in windows works with no problems, so it's not the carrier | 03:51 |
| mindrape | Drewsef - also you can sudo apt-get install strace and strace mplayer or whatever player you are using. | 03:51 |
| HazRPG | I have created a /boot partition, so should I just leave it as (hd0) or shall I select /dev/sda2 where /boot was defined? | 03:51 |
| Drewsef | mindrape: Thanks, I'll see if I can figure out what xterm is and how to use it. | 03:52 |
| dooner | mgmuscari, not really sure, mine when it would wig out, didn't cause the OS to lock/panic. would just drop the connection. | 03:52 |
| mindrape | Drewsef - Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal | 03:52 |
| mgmuscari | found a screwdriver... | 03:52 |
| mgmuscari | yeah, this is hard locking the system | 03:52 |
| mgmuscari | light on the card turns off | 03:52 |
| Drewsef | mindrape: Ok I should have know thats what you were referring to. :) | 03:52 |
| darthanubis | !info gnome-terminal | 03:52 |
| ubottu | gnome-terminal (source: gnome-terminal): The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.26.0-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 107 kB, installed size 356 kB | 03:52 |
| JustSomething | When that happened to me, Drewsef, it was because it couldn't grab enough video memory | 03:52 |
| dooner | jmspeex_, if you click on NM does it show you cards :) | 03:53 |
| Drewsef | JustSomething: You might be on to something, although VLC will play the files, but no sound | 03:53 |
| JustSomething | I closed some apps, cut down on my virtual desktops, and Movie Player (and VLC) started working again | 03:53 |
| Haris_Amin | RHorse: hey u there...it didn't work | 03:53 |
| JustSomething | I also turned off a huge background image I had. | 03:53 |
| chuck_ | ofx, There might be an option in network manager about disconnect when idle am on my desktop now laptop is not here so cannot check for you | 03:54 |
| Aeosynth | I'm having trouble with sound; I can play the example files, but not internet radio | 03:54 |

| EricJ1186 | I am having sound and video card issues; can anyone help me out? | 03:54 |
| wangkeke | how to change the size of swap | 03:54 |
| shamoun_ | hey all | 03:54 |
| mgmuscari | well | 03:54 |
| jmspeex | dooner, Jordan_U: Ok, so removing /etc/network/interfaces means that nm now sees my nics | 03:54 |
| mgmuscari | trying with an older wifi G card | 03:54 |
| jmspeex | how can I configure the connections now? | 03:55 |
| shamoun_ | my burner is writing really slowly under ubuntu, like .8 x slowly, is there something that i need to do like enable dma or the like? | 03:55 |
| ofx | chuck_, i can do it... let's see | 03:55 |
| jmspeex | Actually, I see ways to configure connections, but not to enable/disable them | 03:55 |
| Drewsef | mindrape: This is the output : http://pastebin.com/m40f0d5bf | 03:55 |
| wangkeke | who can tell me how to change the size of swap | 03:55 |
| dooner | jmspeex, right click -> edit connections? | 03:55 |
| JustSomething | Yeah, line 6 says "insufficient resources," Drewsef | 03:56 |
| Drewsef | ok, so? | 03:56 |
| Drewsef | Can I fix this? | 03:56 |
| JustSomething | That's the "not enough video memory" problem, I think | 03:56 |
| Drewsef | it closes when I try to play mp3's too | 03:56 |
| Drewsef | I'll see if the error is the same | 03:57 |
| dooner | wangkeke, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 03:57 |
| JustSomething | Try closing all your other apps, browsers, and turn off your background image, and set your virtual workspaces to just 1 or two | 03:57 |
| Jordan_U | wangkeke: You can resize your swap partition from a liveCD with gparted | 03:57 |
| Drewsef | JustSomething: I guess I have a vid card I can install. :) | 03:57 |
| pw-toxic | i like ubuntu ;) | 03:57 |

| Aeosynth | I can listen to internet radio through Rhythmbox, but not through Firefox. Help? | 03:58 |
| shamoun | hey all | 03:58 |
| JustSomething | I've got a crappy 64Meg video card, Drewsef, so I had this problem with almost any program that displayed video | 03:58 |
| spartan2276 | mindrape: is that something that can just be removed from the system | 03:58 |
| dooner | wangkeke, assuming you want to add, you can use a swap file (there is a howto on the like I pasted) | 03:58 |
| jmspeex | dooner, Jordan_U: OK, let's see if a secured connection works (disconnecting) | 03:58 |
| mindrape | spartan2276 it means you have to run fsck to fix it. It happens... | 03:59 |
| Drewsef | JustSomething: Ok, going to install this vid card. hope things are cleared up. thanks | 03:59 |
| mindrape | spartan2276 its not a file so much as a filesystem operation that probably failed. | 03:59 |
| spartan2276 | mindrape: I have been running ubuntu since 7.04 and this has never happened to me before | 03:59 |
| Haris_Amin | guys anyone with wireless issues experience? since i upgraded to jaunty i can't connect to wireless networks...i can see them but can't connect... | 03:59 |
| mindrape | spartan2276 just follow the instructions in that link I sent you and you'll be sound as a pound. | 03:59 |
| mindrape | spartan2276 I've been using linux for 10 years and its happened to me once or twice. Its pretty rare but happens. | 03:59 |
| mindrape | Haris_Amin its likely your wireless driver isnt working. | 04:00 |
| dooner | Haris_Amin, which wireless driver? | 04:00 |
| klaid | Hi, I uninstalled kdm, but Ubuntu still tries to run it at startup, how do I get it to just use gdm? | 04:00 |
| Haris_Amin | mindrape: but it was working before the upgrade.... its ipw2200 which i think should be supported by default | 04:00 |
| mindrape | Haris_Amin pull up a terminal and type sudo iwconfig sudo iwlist scan sudo lspci -v (this will show what driver you're using) or sudo lshw -C network | 04:00 |
| Jordan_U | klaid: sudo dpgk-reconfigure gdm | 04:00 |
| klaid | ah, ok, thank you | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | klaid: np | 04:01 |
| Jeepste1 | trying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank | 04:01 |
| Haris_Amin | dooner: mindrape the ipw2200 is for the inte pro wireless card mine is 2915abg | 04:01 |
| mindrape | Haris_Amin - pastebin the output from all those commands. | 04:01 |
| mindrape | Haris_Amin - have you googled for known issues w that card after an upgrade? | 04:01 |
| Codex_ | hmm, I made my first security upgrade with the gui tool, and now gnome-panel and metacity does not start on boot :) | 04:02 |
| Haris_Amin | mindrape: i have been nothing yet...i'm sure of what driver i'm using ...used lshw do figure that out | 04:02 |
| jmspeex_ | Jordan_U, dooner: OK, so WPA appears to work now. but it's weird that nm is showing my AP both as secured and unsecured | 04:02 |
| Haris_Amin | mindrape: i'm currently booting form my windows partition so i can't just pastebin the outputs right now | 04:02 |
| mindrape | Haris_Amin - it looks like sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules may fix it. | 04:02 |
| HazRPG | nvm, sorted it lol. | 04:03 |
| Haris_Amin | mindrape: realy...where did u see that? | 04:03 |
| Kai_wp | I'm running the Xubuntu 8.10 Live CD, but it isn't showing my NTFS Windows XP Pro SP2 drive. How can I access it? | 04:03 |
| mindrape | Haris_Amin - google. | 04:03 |
| Jordan_U | jmspeex_: Might just be "memory" of the past network when it was unsecured, nm leaves old networks shown for a while after they go out of range in case it's just temporary | 04:03 |
| Haris_Amin | mindrape: can u paste me the links plz? | 04:03 |
| spartan2276 | mindrape: k, started running fsck -rfv /dev/sda2 and it found multiply blocks | 04:04 |
| ubuntu__ | Here is my situation: I'm doing a reset of Ubuntu and Windows due to small but annoying problems such as the scroll section of the mouse pad on my laptop not working.

I have a 1.5gb ext2 partition available to reinstall grub, but I'm not sure of the commands.... | 04:04 |

| ttmrichter | Kr0ntab: Why would it? I'm tunnelling local 8080 to remote 8080. Squid shouldn't see 22 at all. | 04:13 |
| bloie | what's the command to install the kde login manager | 04:13 |
| smilingbob | how do i disable join/parts i am using xchat | 04:13 |
| Kai_wp | Could I harm the files on my NTFS Windows XP Pro SP2 HD by running the commands "sudo fdisk -l" and "sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt" to mount it on my XUbuntu Live CD? | 04:13 |
| Jeepste1 | screen is blank RHorse | 04:13 |
| Jeepste1 | no cursor.. nothing RHorse | 04:14 |
| Kr0ntab | ttmrichter: perhaps I was assuming something about your question. I thought you are on a host behind a squid proxy... intercepting port 22 traffic. | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | Kai_wp: probably not, and you should be able to access the NTFS partition anyway, as long as Windows shut it down properly | 04:14 |
| RHorse | ctl + alt + F2 doesn't work? | 04:14 |
| Jeepste1 | no it doesn`t | 04:14 |
| calc | mindrape: hmm istr the 'other' one doing security related stuff wrt DC ;-) | 04:14 |
| RHorse | ctl + alt + F3? | 04:15 |
| dooner | smilingbob, right click channel name ->settings | 04:15 |
| ttmrichter | Kr0ntab: I'm behind the Great Firewall and need to tunnel past it to see the web unhindered. My method of choice is using SSH as a tunnel so that I access localhost:8080 as a proxy and it tunnels through SSH to a remote server under my control at 8080, which happens to be a squid proxy. | 04:15 |
| calc | theres very little left online now about what DC did other than emu though now, seems to have fairly well scrubbed from the net | 04:15 |
| Jeepste1 | not that either RHorse | 04:15 |
| mindrape | calc - who knows anymore... last I heard he was unemployed living up in North Phoenix. | 04:15 |
| smilingbob | dooner: not seeing that | 04:15 |
| ttmrichter | Kr0ntab: I know the technique itself works because I've been using it for years. But my service provider has gone west and I have to set this up myself. | 04:15 |
| calc | mindrape: ok | 04:16 |
| ttmrichter | It isn't working. :) | 04:16 |
| Kr0ntab | yes me too | 04:16 |
| eseven73 | dooner, thanks I was trying to find that for him since I was the one that suggested he turn off joins/parts, but couldn't find the setting :D | 04:16 |
| RHorse | Jeepste1, there's nothing you can do unless you can type commands. | 04:16 |
| ienorand | Jeepste1: at what point did it turn black? before grub, before loading screen, before login, before desktop? | 04:16 |
| _Brun0_ | Can I prevent menus to show on mouse_down but on mouse_click instead? | 04:16 |
| Kai_wp | sebsebseb: Strangely I cannot access it from the LiveCD. It was properly shut down before as far as I remember. I'll try those commands, thanks! :D | 04:16 |
| * calc is surprised he wasn't arrested for some of the bigger proprietary source code leaks he managed to be involved with | 04:16 | |
| eseven73 | smilingbob, in the left side of xchat do you see the word #Ubuntu? right click it | 04:16 |
| lvlefisto | can't install flashplugin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174020/ ¿can anyone help me?, i am on intrepid | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | Kai_wp: wait no | 04:17 |
| zhobbs_ | how can I get a list of files that were installed by a package? | 04:17 |
| smilingbob | eseven73: yes and i did right click but their is no settings choice | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | Kai_wp: can you get into it from computer or whatever you got on Xubuntu? | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | Kai_wp: or /media or /mnt ? | 04:17 |
| RHorse | zhobbs_, try apt-cache shoe package | 04:17 |
| Drewsef | Hello, I'm not getting any audio with 9.04 that I just installed. Is there a way to trouble shoot this problem? | 04:17 |
| Jeepste1 | ienorand: it turned black after starting the install screen where the moving orange line is.. it went to a cursor, then nothing | 04:17 |
| RHorse | zhobbs_, try apt-cache show package | 04:17 |
| eseven73 | smilingbob, are you using xchat or xchat-gnome or is it gnome-xchat I cant remember which | 04:17 |
| eseven73 | sounds like you're using the gnome version | 04:18 |
| RHorse | zhobbs_, oh sorry that's not right | 04:18 |
| Kai_wp | sebsebseb: I checked in /mnt and /media, they're both empty. | 04:18 |
| smilingbob | xchat gnome i think | 04:18 |
| eseven73 | yea uninstall that | 04:18 |
| gedee | http://grayhoods.org | 04:18 |
| varun | hello mindrape and classic ---http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/174024/ | 04:18 |
| smilingbob | and my mouse just died so i won't be doing any right clicking on any thing lol | 04:18 |
| Fudge | hi using 9.04 ubuntu now but cant get sound to work. the panel shows sb live audigy alsa etc and sounds unmuted and turned up. but still hear no sound. is there some kind of bug or something I can do to fix it? | 04:18 |
| RHorse | zhobbs_, I think maybe dpkg can do this | 04:18 |
| zhobbs_ | RHorse: yeah, lots of info in there, but no file list | 04:18 |
| ienorand | Jeepste1: do ctrl+alt+del or alt+sysreq+r+s+e+i+u+b to restart machine (if that fails hard reset), checked the CD? | 04:18 |
| eseven73 | smilingbob, install the real xchat if you can, sudo apt-get install xchat | 04:18 |
| eseven73 | the gnome xchat blows | 04:19 |
| smilingbob | can't do nothing but type in this box at the moment | 04:19 |
| smilingbob | i did not realize there was more then one | 04:19 |
| mindrape | zhobbs_ - dpkg -L pkgname | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: Try running "alsamixer -c 0" and make sure all of the levels are turned up | 04:19 |
| Drewsef | Hello, I'm not getting any audio with 9.04 that I just installed. Is there a way to trouble shoot this problem? | 04:19 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: Thanks | 04:19 |
| smilingbob | what is the shortcut for terminal? | 04:19 |
| zhobbs_ | mindrape: thanks | 04:19 |
| RHorse | zhobbs_, hold it there's a command that will do that, but I forgot what it is! | 04:19 |
| eseven73 | smilingbob, Applications>Add/Remove then search for xchat | 04:20 |
| Jeepste1 | I`ve tried several CDs | 04:20 |
| Kai_wp | sebsebseb: So don't use those commands? | 04:20 |
| smilingbob | lol i can't i need a mouse | 04:20 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: They are all up into the red level | 04:20 |
| zhobbs_ | RHorse: dpkg -L | 04:20 |
| RHorse | Ah, I knew it! | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | Kai_wp: they would probably be ok, but as long as you shut Windows down properly, you should just be able to access it from Ubuntu/Xubuntu | 04:20 |
| eseven73 | smilingbob, try alt+tab key to get to a terminal | 04:20 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: Any of them have "MM" at the bottom? | 04:21 |
| Drewsef | yes | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: That means they are muted, use the "M" key to unmute them | 04:21 |
| smilingbob | got it thanks | 04:21 |
| Fudge | u can do anything on keybaord that u can on mouse | 04:21 |
| eseven73 | np | 04:21 |
| smilingbob | Fudge: i am sure you can, but i am not that smart yet lol | 04:21 |
| Kr0ntab | ttmrichter: sorry about that. So does your firewall allow outbound SSH? ANd if so... are you making a successful connection to the SSH server | 04:21 |
| mindrape | Fudge - right click the desktop background? | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | smilingbob, you can alt+tab to different windows without a mouse, but what's wrong with your mouse? | 04:22 |
| RHorse | Fudge, like 10X *more* | 04:22 |
| Classic | varun, what was the problem/ | 04:22 |
| wtl | i changed my uid to 501. how do i revert it back to 1001? | 04:22 |
| smilingbob | the batteries died | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | ah | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | well Fudge is correct | 04:22 |
| smilingbob | and i don't have a spare | 04:22 |
| eseven73 | you don't need one | 04:22 |
| Fudge | mindrape you can still get to that dialog through display settings | 04:22 |
| smilingbob | actually i did, but they where not charged either | 04:22 |
| Classic | varun, you basically have 5 partitions | 04:22 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: Ok unmuted but no change | 04:22 |
| varun | just a sec first tell me how to slow down this channel a bit I have xchat | 04:22 |
| varun | this is just too fast for me | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | varun: you can't just slow it down | 04:23 |
| Classic | see anywhere #ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| mindrape | Fudge - well lets correct what you meant then... you can perform any function with keyboard that you can w mouse. Actually doing ANYTHING w the keyboard that you would w mouse isnt always possible. :) | 04:23 |
| smilingbob | varun: i had the same problem | 04:23 |
| Kai_wp | sebsebseb: The last time I used it it was attempting to reboot, but I chose to boot Windows into safe mode instead, where it couldn't boot, so I did a hard shut down. Couild that be why? | 04:23 |
| eseven73 | varun, right click the word #Ubuntu you can turn off joins/part messages | 04:23 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: Do you get any error when you try the audio test in System > Preferences > Audio ? | 04:23 |
| varun | can I see only u guys i.e the ones I am currently talking to | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | Kai_wp: there's a way to force mount a NTFS, but shoudn't really need to do that, as long as you shut down Windows propelry | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | varun, the tab #Ubuntu I should say or tree, whatever | 04:24 |
| varun | How do i pm u | 04:24 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: sound? | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | !PM | 04:24 |
| ubottu | Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 04:24 |
| mindrape | varun /msg nickname your message here | 04:24 |
| mib_y8tzye | ok so i have been dual booting vista and ubuntu for a while, and know have ran into grub error 17 | 04:24 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: Yes, remembered wrong :) | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | varun, if you turn off joins/parts it really helps | 04:24 |
| varun | I have done that | 04:24 |
| Fudge | im sure you cuold e.g on widnows shift f10 right clicks where the pointer is | 04:24 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: How long do let it test? | 04:24 |
| mib_y8tzye | and tried to reinstall grub like i did when windows wiped it out, but that didnet work | 04:24 |
| eseven73 | ok | 04:24 |
| whou | hello | 04:25 |
| mib_y8tzye | so i was thinking about doing a fresh install of grub, but can seem to find how to do this, any help? | 04:25 |
| Jordan_U | mib_y8tzye: Can you mount your Ubuntu partition from a LiveCD? | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | mib_y8tzye | 04:25 |
| ubottu | mib_y8tzye: 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 | 04:25 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: Maybe I need some sound drivers that aren't provided with ubuntu? | 04:25 |
| whou | i have ubuntu as internet gateway and two other computers as windows xp hosts. is there a way i could monitor their website browsing? | 04:25 |
| mindrape | whou - yes. Easiest is to probably use a webproxy. | 04:26 |
| smilingbob | okay i have xchat now | 04:26 |
| smilingbob | and a working mouse | 04:26 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: with AlsaMixer the headphone volume that was muted, I unmuted, but I can't turn it up like the rest | 04:26 |
| whou | mindrape ok i so setup the webproxy on my ubuntu machine? | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: Possible, but Ubuntu seems to at least think it has drivers for your device or it wouldn't show controlls. Do you have more than one card? ( and I missed your answer about any erros from the sound test ) | 04:27 |
| ttmrichter | Kr0ntab: I'm administering the machine with SSH, so yeah, SSH is not a problem. | 04:27 |
| mindrape | yes whou | 04:27 |
| pw-toxic | can someon tell me how i can permanently mount a ntfs hdd into my home folder? | 04:27 |
| lstarnes | whou: it depends on which proxy you use | 04:27 |
| ttmrichter | I am connected via SSH. The "ssh -L blah" command line is working. | 04:27 |
| lstarnes | whou: do you want to filter, or just monitor? | 04:27 |
| ttmrichter | It's the proxying that's failing with channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed | 04:27 |
| whou | !proxy | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. | 04:27 |
| smilingbob | so how do i slow this thing down | 04:27 |
| Salcedian | I am out | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | !fstab | pw-toxic | 04:27 |
| ubottu | pw-toxic: 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 | 04:27 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: No, just on board sound. I didn't see any errors with the test. I wasn't sure which interfaces to test, or how long to wait though. | 04:28 |
| whou | lstarnes: the users who are connected to me. to monitor their net traffic, ie. browsing, bittorrent, downloads, etc | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | smilingbob: right click my #ubuntu link and turn off join and part messages or whatever that guy was saying, I use Konversation :) | 04:28 |
| lstarnes | whou: using a webproxy would be best for web/http monitoring | 04:28 |
| smilingbob | sebastien, i do not see it anywere... | 04:28 |
| mindrape | whou - it may be a bit overkill but something to possibly consider would be PacketFence... http://www.packetfence.org/en/home.html | 04:29 |
| lijunchen | ? | 04:29 |
| lstarnes | whou: however, traffic on other protocols might not be monitored as well as http | 04:29 |
| lijunchen | 有人在线不？ | 04:29 |
| Jeepste1 | tried a different CD and CD_ROM .. tried Ctrl+Alt+F1.. now have out of range on monitor | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: Ok, try alsmixer with no options ( which should show one channel, from pulseaudio ) | 04:29 |
| whou | lstarnes mindrape thanks a lot :) ive just gotten my ears wet with ip masquerading and just recently set up my lan | 04:29 |
| eseven73 | !cn | lijunchen | 04:30 |
| ubottu | lijunchen: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 04:30 |
| lstarnes | whou: is there any particular reason why you need this? there may be a better solution | 04:30 |
| mindrape | whou - they have a VM appliance of packetfence if you just wanna give it a spin. | 04:30 |
| _Brun0_ | Can I change popup menus to show only on mouse_click instead of mouse_down also? | 04:30 |
| llml | lijunchen: Many guys are arround here:) | 04:30 |
| bazhang | lijunchen, #ubuntu-cn | 04:30 |
| whou | lstarnes: basically to monitor the users usage of bandwidth | 04:30 |
| llml | lijunchen: Besides the bot that just talked to you:) | 04:31 |
| jmspeex_ | Anyone knows how to get WPA to work in Hardy? | 04:31 |
| jmspeex_ | (I got my Jaunty machine to work, but Hardy doesn't show a WPA option, just WEP) | 04:31 |
| jmspeex_ | I installed wpasupplicant | 04:31 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: Looks the same now to me, same amount of channels afaict | 04:31 |
| Jeepste1 | trying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank.. changed CD and CDRom now have flashing out of range on monitor | 04:32 |
| llml | eseven73: How do you know that guy's saying Chinese? | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: Try the audio test with "ALSA" selected instead of "Automatically Detected" | 04:32 |
| eseven73 | well it sure looked like chinese to me was I wrong? | 04:33 |
| bazhang | eseven73, it was Chinese | 04:33 |
| whou | llml his name is also chinese | 04:33 |
| llml | eseven73: Nop, hehe. You are right:) | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: sounds like a possible graphics card issue | 04:33 |
| whou | this terminator thing is so cool. but a little bit slow | 04:33 |
| Jeepste1 | what do I do about that sebsebseb | 04:34 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: I started scrolling to the right more under the alsamixer, I see IEC958. It has different options such as A/D conv, and AC link. Is this important? | 04:34 |
| llml | whou: Yep, sounds logical:) | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: did you see anything in Ubuntu? | 04:34 |
| RORgasm | mindrape, hey its me haris...i'm on ethernet right now...i was talking to u earlier about ipw2200 | 04:34 |
| Jeepste1 | no, it never even got to the desktop to install sebsebseb | 04:34 |
| llml | bazhang: Guess you a Chinese :) | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: ah ha the Live CD you mean? | 04:35 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: I don't know | 04:35 |
| Jeepste1 | yes sebsebseb.. I`ve tried several | 04:35 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: ok testing. | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: you got an Intel graphics card? | 04:35 |
| Drewsef | under sound playback option | 04:35 |
| Jeepste1 | no its a Geforce 6200a | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: a new Nivida card you mean? | 04:36 |
| Jeepste1 | yes sebsebseb | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: maybe it's to new, and so problems. or your Ubuntu ISO was bad all along, or you need to burn it slower | 04:37 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: it isn't showing any errors, and its continuing to test indefinitely it seem. | 04:37 |
| Jeepste1 | I have a few more CDS here should I try them all sebse | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: you can check the ISO that it's good | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 04:37 |
| ubottu | To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 04:37 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: Looks like I should just buy a sound card? | 04:38 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: If there would be errors they would show up immediately, and if it worked you'd hear a tone | 04:38 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: OK, no errors, no tone. | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: make sure the ISO is good | 04:38 |
| Jeepste1 | I can`t get a command line on that PC to do it sebseb | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: you don't need one | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: there are programs for Windows | 04:39 |
| Jordan_U | Drewsef: I am not sure what the problem is, you might be able to find more information by running "lspci" and googling for the line pertaining to your sound card, sorry I couldn't be more help | 04:40 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: Thanks I'll take a look. :) | 04:40 |
| Jeepste1 | can you point me to one sebsebseb | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: I would use this old program http://www.md5summer.org yes the beta from 2006, then you virfy the ISO in it, and get a code which you compare to the code on http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/MD5SUMS | 04:42 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U : In case your interested. http://pastebin.com/m4a4bf77a | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: the codes need to be the same a match, for a good download | 04:42 |
| Jeepste1 | I don`t have 9.04 sebsebseb | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: which version? | 04:43 |
| Jeepste1 | I have a few 7.04. 7.10.8.04, 8.10 | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: hummm and none of those versions will work? | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: 7.04 and 7.10 are no longer supported on the desktop | 04:44 |
| Jeepste1 | some I haven`t tried on the CDROM.. I`ll try a couple more | 04:45 |
| Jar | OK. I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to this. For some reason, everytime I try to boot Ubuntu 9.04, I get an "Gave up waiting for root device" error and I can't seem to fix it. | 04:45 |
| unikon | using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS & Xchat 2.8.4 I can get all other IRC servers to accept auto-login except for freenode this happens on Ubuntu & Xp Pro on multiple computers is there a known bug or issue and if its a known issue with freenode how can it be fixed | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: ok | 04:46 |
| Drewsef | Jordan_U: Looks like I may not be the only one with problems related to this audio chip | 04:46 |
| rhinoponomous | hey i have a n00b question... is this the place to ask them? | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | unikon: ok your issue isn't Ubuntu specific, try #freenode | 04:47 |
| joot | Jar, I am guessing but it may be a formatting error no root system... | 04:47 |
| Jar | I just freshly reformatted my HDD and installed Ubuntu.. ? | 04:47 |
| Jar | Should I try reinstalling maybe? | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | Jar: could do yeah | 04:48 |
| unikon | sebsebseb thanks for responding have you noticed anything of that nature on your end or have you heard of this issue before | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | unikon: no and no | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | unikon: #freenode is the best place for that issue | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | unikon: since you said XP and Ubuntu | 04:49 |
| RORgasm | hey guys | 04:49 |
| lstarnes | sebsebseb: no, it's an xchat issue | 04:49 |
| RORgasm | anyone here have experience with ipw2200 driver in jaunt | 04:49 |
| RORgasm | jaunty? | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | unikon: hummm seems Istarnes may know something | 04:49 |
| lstarnes | sebsebseb: L | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | ok L | 04:50 |
| unikon | istarnes have you heard of a issue like i stated | 04:50 |
| Jeepste1 | ok sebsebseb I have 8.10 coming up in low graphics mode | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | lstarnes: Xchat issues hum well then Konversation even more :) and yes I use Konversation | 04:50 |
| rhinoponomous | um... how do you get pidgin to NOT to run? | 04:50 |
| lstarnes | unikon: what method are you using for autologin? | 04:50 |
| lstarnes | rhinoponomous: make sure you close it before logging out | 04:51 |
| RORgasm | can someone plz help me...i upgraded to jaunty and can't connect to any wireless networks anymore | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | RORgasm | 04:51 |
| ubottu | RORgasm: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:51 |
| bonobo | unikon=> there is a problem with the freenode server, i canno't even change my nick | 04:51 |
| rhinoponomous | it is running where my shut down button used to be... is there a way to make it not do that? | 04:51 |
| rhinoponomous | (n00b alert here) | 04:51 |
| unikon | on the network list-freenode-nickserv pw | 04:51 |
| lstarnes | bonobo: which nick are you changing to? | 04:51 |
| RORgasm | sebsebseb, i've gone through that... i dunno what to do now | 04:51 |

| joot | RORgasm, You will be better at Ubuntu forums. Wireless can be a real bitch sometimes | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | RORgasm: there is something wireless in the release notes, but not sure if that applys to you | 04:55 |

| Jordan_U | zhobbs_: Yes, it's a very big deal. If you really need it you might want to create a chroot | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | joot: ok | 04:58 |
| ericj11861 | I need help on two things | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | ok just tell us what they are | 04:58 |
| zhobbs_ | Jordan_U: I should probably do a dist-upgrade right? | 04:58 |
| joeDeuce | rhinoponomous: no problem ;) | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | ericj11861 | 04:59 |
| ubottu | ericj11861: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:59 |
| ericj11861 | First, I updated my sound drivers, but I still have no sound in everything except Pidgen | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | zhobbs_: Yes, ( with update-manager or do-release upgrade, not apt-get dist-upgrade ) | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | joot: sound issues that's another one that can be a real you know what | 04:59 |
| Classic | EricJ1186, did you get X working with drivers? | 04:59 |
| ericj11861 | the other one is related to my video cards, but I think the sound one would be easier | 05:00 |
| joot | sebsebseb, xactly | 05:00 |
| ericj11861 | no, I had to uninstall the drivers | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | joot: and video card issues | 05:00 |
| Classic | ok | 05:00 |
| joot | sebsebseb, mainly ati cards | 05:00 |
| Classic | EricJ1186, did you try drivers from nvidias site | 05:00 |
| zhobbs_ | Jordan_U: ok...thanks | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | ericj11861: probably both won't be that easy, and I can't exactly help with both issues anyway | 05:01 |
| ericj11861 | Classic, the Nvidia site drivers did the same thing | 05:01 |
| ericj11861 | seb, thanks anyway! | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | ericj11861: however normalley you try the nivida driver that's in the repo, and as a last resort get it from the nivida site | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | ericj11861: and installing directly from nivida is always a pain | 05:01 |
| ericj11861 | did that | 05:02 |
| Classic | EricJ1186, it then must be your setup with 2 cards that does that | 05:02 |
| ericj11861 | it reboots in terminal in TTY1 | 05:02 |
| ericj11861 | even though I don't have my bridge? | 05:02 |
| Classic | EricJ1186, im not sure anymore, since mine works with recommended drv | 05:02 |
| msshams1 | my ubuntu 9.04 is very hangable that must be restart. how can i fix it? | 05:03 |

| msshams1 | my ubuntu 9.04 is very hangable that must be restart. how can i fix it? | 05:03 |

| Classic | EricJ1186, register on ubuntuforums.org and post your problem there | 05:04 |
| Jordan_U | msshams1: If you are using ext4 it might be the softlockup bug, you can just use the latest upstream kernel ( there is a ppa for it ) | 05:05 |
| shamoun | there's an ext4 now? dang, been a while since i used linux | 05:05 |
| ericj11861 | Classic, I did... no replies | 05:05 |
| sebsebseb | Jordan_U: still not done my clean install after these weeks and gone Ext4, anyway when I do, should I install the ppa for a later kernel? | 05:05 |
| msshams1 | Jordan_U: in the past i use ext4 and see hang problem. but now i use reiserfs and ubuntu hanged too | 05:06 |
| sebsebseb | shamoun: yeah, but it has a few issues still that are mentioned in the release notes | 05:06 |

| Jordan_U | sebsebseb: Seems that the ext4 developers can't even reproduce the bug so if you're not affected you probably don't need to preemtively upgrade the kernel ( the cause of the bug hasn't been found yet, so it's not "fixed" in the latest kernel, just not reproducable by anyone at all ) | 05:08 |
| ericj11861 | I guess I may have to just give up on sound or graphics... | 05:08 |
| ericj11861 | ugh | 05:08 |

| 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 | 05:17 |

| Guest29625 | sebsebseb what do you mean? | 05:21 |
| sebsebseb | Guest29625: I mean get your files open in Windows first, then you can open stuff up in Ubuntu to probably | 05:22 |
| sebsebseb | Guest29625: as long as Windows partitions are shut down properly, Ubuntu should be able to just use them | 05:22 |
| ttmrichter | OK, looking closer at my SSH+squid thing, it seems the problem is definitely on SSH's side. When I log in to the remote machine I can use Squid just fine as a proxy server. So is there anybody here who's an SSH guru, specifically server-side configuration of TCP tunnelling? | 05:22 |
| Guest29625 | sebsebseb: the problem is that I am not able to open them in windows too | 05:22 |
| sebsebseb | Guest29625: ,but maybe you got a currupted partitiion | 05:22 |
| dj__ | excuse me,my ubuntu OS has some strange things,the close button in the the any application is missing | 05:22 |

| Kai_wp | So I'm in the XUbuntu Live CD now but I can't access my mostly Windows network | 05:31 |

| AlbertoP | pengy, np...I've just too many windows open :) | 05:32 |
| Kai_wp | What exactly is the greyed out "Unlock" button in the "Shared Folders" settings window for? | 05:33 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, Windows creates the virtual memory file, which might be at the end of your partition, or somewhere close to the end. You can remove it disabling the swap in Windows. | 05:33 |
| pengy | Im not sure what you mean by swap, ive never done something like this before. | 05:34 |
| sebsebseb | !swap | pengy | 05:34 |
| ubottu | pengy: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:34 |

| StrangeCharm | hey, i'm trying to access my hardware fakeraid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? | 05:38 |
| b14ck | how do i burn a .img file to a disk? | 05:38 |
| === stat`laptop is now known as infinityxi | ||
| pengy | black use and image burning program | 05:39 |
| pengy | like imgburn or CDburnerXP | 05:39 |
| StrangeCharm | b14ck, are you on ubuntu or trying to set up an install from windows?? | 05:40 |
| infinityxi | I think gnome baker can do that as well. | 05:40 |
| chemikalz | guys still no sound from speakres | 05:41 |
| chemikalz | THIS SHOULD BE WORKING | 05:41 |
| chemikalz | im confused | 05:41 |
| FloodBot2 | chemikalz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:41 |
| chemikalz | i have everything set up perfect | 05:41 |
| StrangeCharm | is anyone familiar with fakeraid? | 05:41 |
| chemikalz | StrangeCharm: never heard of it what is it | 05:42 |
| StrangeCharm | fakeraid - a hardware based raid solution that actually uses the cpu for raid operations | 05:42 |
| infinityxi | Has anyone been able to use rhythmbox with a remote file system on 9.04. It doesn't seem to be working for me. sftp or samba. I don't particularly want to use smbmount or install sshfs. | 05:43 |
| StrangeCharm | it's a generic term chemikalz | 05:43 |
| chemikalz | got my spearks to work but now it plays my pc speaker and my external speakers all at once lol | 05:43 |
| ttmrichter | Is there any SSH guru out there who can explain what the error "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed" means and how to get rid of it? | 05:43 |
| chemikalz | i have it set as surround | 05:43 |
| chemikalz | its working nice! | 05:43 |
| StrangeCharm | does anyone know what's happened to dm-raid4-5 in jaunty? | 05:45 |
| th0r | ttmrichter: google has over 100 results for that | 05:45 |
| ttmrichter | th0r: And all of them totally useless. Mostly people asking and not getting answers or getting answers to questions not asked. | 05:46 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, is that a laptop? | 05:46 |
| pengy | yeah. | 05:46 |
| hihello | http://www.cam4.com/ooookelly 18year old girl on cam, come watch! | 05:46 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, brand? | 05:46 |
| hihello | http://www.cam4.com/ooookelly 18year old girl on cam, come watch! | 05:46 |
| pengy | dell inspiron 1520 | 05:46 |
| usser | !ops hihello | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ops hihello | 05:47 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, ok... the first 78MB are for system tools. The last one is probably the media-center (if you have a media-center key) | 05:47 |
| Daps | can someone tell me where i can find what my chipset it?? | 05:47 |
| infinityxi | ttmrichter: what were you doing with ssh to get that error? | 05:48 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, what os are you on? | 05:48 |
| Daps | Ubuntu 8.4 | 05:48 |
| ttmrichter | infinityxi: I'm trying to tunnel HTTP through SSH to a Squid proxy. | 05:48 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, hint: pay _a_lot_ of attention not to damage the media center partition, if it is the case, because to rebuild it on dell systems, you have to format also the main win installation :\ | 05:48 |
| pengy | i have dell media direct | 05:48 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, that one | 05:48 |
| infinityxi | well from some of the google hits, does the squid proxy machine | 05:48 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, what computer are you using? | 05:48 |
| pengy | so the 2.5GB is that one problay is. | 05:48 |
| infinityxi | allow connections from local host? | 05:48 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, for sure...it's exactly its size | 05:49 |
| Daps | something made up by a friend | 05:49 |
| ttmrichter | infinityxi: It *ONLY* allows connections from local host. The error is SSH's, not squids. I have tested squid and it is working as expected. | 05:49 |
| StrangeCharm | hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? | 05:49 |
| th0r | ttmrichter: the second result....This message is printed when you try to use TCP forwarding and sshd | 05:49 |
| th0r | doesn't authorize it. You need to ask your administrator to put | 05:49 |
| th0r | "AllowTcpForwarding yes" in sshd_config on the gateway. | 05:49 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, do you know any of the component names? | 05:49 |
| pengy | ok im still got getting how to get vista on letting me shrink my partion more than 742MB since i need to do atlaeast 15 for unbuntu. | 05:49 |
| StrangeCharm | also, daps, use my name so that your messages are highlighted for me? | 05:50 |
| ttmrichter | th0r: I *AM* the administrator and TCP forwarding *IS* set to "yes". | 05:50 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, did you remove the virtual memory? | 05:50 |
| billgoats | hey how to speed up my jaunty? | 05:50 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, it has an intel P4 in there 2.6Ghz | 05:50 |
| StrangeCharm | do you know what the motherboard is, daps? | 05:50 |
| pengy | yeah | 05:50 |
| pengy | i dont have pageing on. | 05:50 |
| chuck_ | Daps, lshw in terminal | 05:51 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, no clue | 05:51 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, ok. The only hope you have now is to defragment your disk | 05:51 |
| pengy | ive donoe that about 4 times | 05:51 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, still nothing? | 05:51 |
| pengy | using auslogics framgent | 05:51 |
| pengy | jkdefrag | 05:51 |
| Daps | chuck_, i will try that | 05:51 |
| pengy | and perfect disk defrag | 05:51 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, did you try chuck_ 's suggestion? | 05:51 |
| === mj is now known as Guest87237 | ||
| AlbertoP | pengy, simply use the vista defrag... | 05:52 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, i will try now | 05:52 |
| pengy | perfect disk helped the most | 05:52 |
| AlbertoP | ok | 05:52 |
| yaris123456789 | what is virtual box ? | 05:52 |
| pengy | it moved the mtk files to the beginging of the partion. | 05:52 |
| yaris123456789 | how is that different from wine | 05:52 |
| StrangeCharm | hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? | 05:52 |

| ubottu | AlbertoP: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:52 |
| pengy | and thats what let me even use the shrink option in the first place. | 05:52 |
| Hiemanshu | !ot | pengy | 05:52 |
| StrangeCharm | yaris123456789 it's a program for running and managing virtual machines | 05:52 |
| ubottu | pengy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:52 |
| AlbertoP | Hiemanshu, sorry but he has problem to install ubuntu on a windows system.... | 05:52 |
| AlbertoP | if that's not on topic... | 05:52 |
| infinityxi | ttmrichter: what does your ssh line look like, you can omit your hostname and everything for public purposes | 05:52 |
| yaris123456789 | StrangeCharm: that means i can run OS in ubuntu ? | 05:53 |
| Hiemanshu | AlbertoP, that is not offtopic | 05:53 |
| AlbertoP | Hiemanshu, :) | 05:53 |
| Hiemanshu | but about vista, and defrag that is | 05:53 |
| usser | yaris123456789, virtualbox is virtualization software, it basically emulate a x86 hardware. wine doesnt emulate anything. its just implementation of windows api on unix | 05:53 |
| AlbertoP | Hiemanshu, to resize his disk he needs to defrag... | 05:53 |
| StrangeCharm | yaris123456789 can you restate exactly what you mean? | 05:53 |
| Hiemanshu | AlbertoP, not neccessary | 05:53 |
| ttmrichter | infinityxi: ssh -L 8080:backdoor:8080 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa backdoor -v -o ConnectTimeout=5 | 05:53 |
| pengy | yeah, im trying to install ubuntu but i need to beable to shrink my partition first. | 05:53 |
| AlbertoP | Hiemanshu, ok so you give him the right answer :) | 05:53 |
| steley | is there a procxy soft 4 ubuntu? | 05:53 |
| Hiemanshu | pengy, tell me what is going on? | 05:53 |
| yaris123456789 | if i run tor on each virtualbox, will it create different ip's for each virtualbox | 05:54 |
| yaris123456789 | at any given time | 05:54 |
| AlbertoP | Hiemanshu, simple...he cannot resize his disk to make space to ubuntu. | 05:54 |
| Hiemanshu | AlbertoP, sure | 05:54 |
| StrangeCharm | yaris123456789 no | 05:54 |
| Daps | chuck_, wow thats amazing.. thanks.. | 05:54 |
| AlbertoP | Hiemanshu, because vista doesn't allow the dist to be resized enough | 05:54 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, it shows everything | 05:54 |
| Hiemanshu | pengy, download and use GParted live disk to resize | 05:54 |
| pengy | im trying to dual boot ubuntu, but vista wont let me shrink more than 742Mb for the partition, even though i have 30gb of free space | 05:54 |
| Jeepste1 | sebsebseb: I`m up and running on 8.10 now :)... ty for your help.. I think my DVD drive might be faulty too as I tried the CD in that yesterday | 05:54 |
| usser | ttmrichter, that doesnt look right. you're mapping 8080 from backdoor to 8080 on backdoor? | 05:54 |
| StrangeCharm | yaris123456789 you still have only one ip address on the outside - all your tor nodes will still face the net from the same ip | 05:54 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: ok good :) | 05:54 |
| ttmrichter | usser: No, I'm mapping my local 8080 to the remote 8080 through SSH. | 05:55 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, no don't do that on your config. GParted won't recognize the dell partition for media direct and kill it unfortunately | 05:55 |
| OpenPsycho | Hiemanshu: won't resizing the disk from gparted effect the existing vista installation? | 05:55 |
| Hiemanshu | pengy, you can use the Ubuntu Live CD to do it too | 05:55 |
| pengy | hiemanshu, i dont want to use gparted because i still need windows, and im werey of the stories of it not letting windows boot up. | 05:55 |
| chuck_ | Daps, your welcome | 05:55 |
| AlbertoP | pengy, let's talk in pvt | 05:55 |
| yaris123456789 | StrangeCharm: i mean the end node ip will be different for all instances of vbox running tor wouldn't it ?? | 05:55 |
| Daps | chuck_, cpu version 15.2.9... does that make sense? | 05:55 |
| pengy | ok | 05:55 |
| Jeepste1 | sebsebseb: NVIDIA driver installed ok too :) | 05:55 |
| ttmrichter | usser: So localhost:8080 gets tunnelled through SSH to emerge on the remote side and hits 8080 on that side. | 05:55 |
| sebsebseb | Jeepste1: good | 05:55 |
| usser | ttmrichter, right right | 05:55 |
| Vesayth | Hello all. I've finally got my VPN running exactly the way I want it to, and now comes the challenge of getting my family connected to their shares on it. Unfortunately, they boot up their windows machines without passwords. So, they don't even know their usernames. My question is, is it possible for them to connect to my Samba server with a username and password that I supply to them? Or can they only connect to it with their windows usernam | 05:56 |
| Hiemanshu | OpenPsycho, it wont | 05:56 |
| usser | ttmrichter, and whats the error? | 05:56 |
| Hiemanshu | pengy, no problem | 05:56 |
| Hiemanshu | pengy, it wont | 05:56 |
| Vesayth | I'm running the Samba server on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit | 05:56 |
| Hiemanshu | pengy, there should be no problem | 05:57 |
| ttmrichter | usser: whenever I try to use the tunnel, I get: "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed" | 05:57 |
| StrangeCharm | yaris123456789 each tor instance will create their own circuits, which may have different endpoints, however, you don't need multiple virtual oses to do that - you can just run multiple instances of tor. more importantly, what are you trying to do? | 05:57 |
| AlbertoP | Hiemanshu, he has a special partition for his media direct. If he breaks that, he has to format everything from scratch ;-) | 05:57 |
| StrangeCharm | hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? | 05:58 |
| sbomer | hi | 05:58 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, I am trying to figure out what's the best webserver to use for my cpu as ubuntu server won't load | 05:58 |
| sbomer | Does anyone know whether it's possible to install ubuntu on an imac g5 | 05:58 |
| sbomer | ? | 05:58 |
| sbomer | powerpc processor? | 05:58 |
| yaris123456789 | StrangeCharm: how do you run multiple instances of tor ??? | 05:58 |
| usser | ttmrichter, hm. never seen that error | 05:59 |
| StrangeCharm | daps what goes wrong? can you run the cd? | 05:59 |
| usser | sbomer, yes, it is. But i'd suggest you use debian, because their ppc port is officially supported | 05:59 |
| infinityxi | ttmrichter: can you tunnel to other ports? does it gave the same error or is it only to the proxy port 8080. | 05:59 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, yes u can run the cd and it goes through the entire install process.. but once it reboot, it says something about my cpu not being able to support it | 06:00 |
| sbomer | thanks usser | 06:00 |
| sbomer | I'm having trouble getting it to boot from the cd | 06:00 |
| === exodusMS is now known as exodus_ms | ||
| usser | sbomer, you need ppc version | 06:00 |
| sbomer | where can I find it? | 06:00 |
| hermanChess | I hate this, but I think I'm going to install a windows partition for gaming | 06:00 |
| ttmrichter | infinityxi: How would I test this? I have only the proxy server. | 06:01 |
| StrangeCharm | yaris123456789 roughly the same way that you run multiple instances of anything else, except that they'll need to have unique ports to bind to, so i suggest multiple installs, each with their own directory and torrc, with seprate ports listed in each torrc | 06:01 |
| infinityxi | try tunneling to the ssh port | 06:01 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, what's the message | 06:01 |
| sbomer | do I need an older version? | 06:01 |
| infinityxi | so it will appear to the host machine that you are sshing from local host. | 06:01 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, it says precisely this: "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6 Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. | 06:01 |
| sbomer | or should I forget ubuntu and go with debian? | 06:01 |

| him89 | pengy, AlbertoP still here? | 06:02 |
| ttmrichter | infinityxi: That's even more confusing. How is this supposed to work? | 06:02 |
| AlbertoP | him89, yup | 06:02 |
| sbomer | wow | 06:02 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, you probably need to customise your kernel, or select an older one | 06:02 |
| him89 | got dced | 06:02 |
| sbomer | thanks you're awesome | 06:02 |
| him89 | pengy, got it working? | 06:02 |
| sbomer | This is what makes ubuntu so great | 06:02 |

| StrangeCharm | hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? | 06:03 |
| usser | sbomer, no problem | 06:03 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, select an older one? Do they offer a choice when you install..? can't remember doing that | 06:03 |
| AlbertoP | him89, any additional tip? :) | 06:03 |
| him89 | AlbertoP, thats all right, GParted always worked great for me never had problems | 06:03 |
| infinityxi | well instead of 8080:backdoor:8080 try 44:backdoor:22 and then ssh in by doing ssh -l user localhost -p 44 | 06:03 |
| infinityxi | this is based on this thread | 06:03 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, how can i customize my kernel?? :S | 06:03 |
| infinityxi | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ssh-l-channel-3-open-failed-connect-failed-637538/#post3132684 | 06:03 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, not directly. boot up a livecd to make the changes | 06:03 |
| AlbertoP | him89, yes I know. But the default partitioning on some dell laptop seems to be "sensitive", and I don't know why... | 06:04 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, livecd ?? whats that? | 06:04 |
| him89 | AlbertoP, Dell laptop has 2 partition, one Recovery and the rest normal | 06:04 |
| him89 | thats what pengy has right? | 06:04 |
| StrangeCharm | the ubuntu desktop cds can boot up into a working version of ubuntu, | 06:04 |
| StrangeCharm | daps^ | 06:05 |

| StrangeCharm | does anyone know what happened to dm-raid 4-5? | 06:06 |
| him89 | AlbertoP, very odd never seen one like that | 06:06 |

| StrangeCharm | daps, so burn a desktop disk | 06:06 |
| infinityxi | you might be sending a key that is signed from your machine but the host machine is seeing the incoming connection as a localhost connection, not an actual connection from your client machine. | 06:07 |
| him89 | !raid > StrangeCharm | 06:07 |
| ubottu | StrangeCharm, please see my private message | 06:07 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, ok i have one of those too, didn't know i could use the desktop disc to solve the server problem... my bad | 06:07 |
| AlbertoP | him89, seems what they push on XPS and similar systems. I have the same, and it is very messy to manage, because if you break the last one, you can only create it by repartitioning the whole disk. That's why I was going very careful :) | 06:07 |
| droid7 | are the intel ppa drivers the latest drivers? | 06:07 |
| him89 | AlbertoP, we are going OT :P | 06:08 |
| StrangeCharm | him89, thanks, but i've read the pages, and they reference a kernel module, which doesn't seem to be there in jaunty | 06:08 |
| him89 | StrangeCharm, recompile the kernel | 06:08 |
| StrangeCharm | him89, can you be more specific? | 06:08 |
| AlbertoP | him89, hehe yes :) | 06:08 |
| AlbertoP | sorry | 06:08 |
| droid7 | anyone? | 06:09 |
| him89 | StrangeCharm, what ever kernel you are using get the sources, change the config file to add the needed kernl | 06:09 |
| him89 | i mean modules | 06:09 |
| him89 | and recompile it | 06:09 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, it seems to be working, thanks for the heads up... | 06:10 |
| ttmrichter | infinityxi: That thread is about an entirely different problem. I can connect just fine. I can use the remote machine just fine. I just can't tunnel. That thread is talking about being able to tunnel but not log in. | 06:10 |
| * chemikalz is back. | 06:10 | |
| StrangeCharm | him89 but shouldn't the module ba available anyway? | 06:10 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, do you know how I can config the system so that i don't have to use the cd on boot up? | 06:11 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, sorry, can you be more specific | 06:11 |
| him89 | StrangeCharm, not always | 06:11 |
| StrangeCharm | ok, i do not have experience compiling the kernel, do you know of a good guide? | 06:12 |
| FlashGordon2000 | DCC SEND HAY.GUYZ.WHATS.GOING.ON.LOL | 06:12 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, sorry, i meant because i get the error without the desktop cd or with the server cd, but with the desktop cd it loads and I don't get that CPU error message... was wondering how to configure it to work without having to use the desktop cd...... so it boots on its own | 06:12 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, hang on, you can install desktop without trouble? | 06:13 |
| him89 | StrangeCharm, i ll be back in 20 mins | 06:14 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, yup.. I'm running desktop right now.. I've been trying to install server as a virtual machine.. | 06:14 |
| NewApples | Hello all | 06:14 |
| NewApples | does anyone know of a program for Ubuntu that records what you do on the computer into a video? Like a video snapshot | 06:15 |
| yaris123456789 | StrangeCharm: then its possible to have 1000 different end nodes each with 1000 unique circuits on a single machine running 1000 instances of tor ? | 06:15 |
| wvmac | i was using the install option from the first boot of the livecd and during the install it seemed to get stuck at 53% and then started gdm and gave me the live cd desktop | 06:15 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, have you tried a driect install, or only a vm install? | 06:15 |
| wvmac | any ideas | 06:15 |
| yaris123456789 | how do i check if my 3d card driver was installed correctly ? | 06:16 |
| ozzmosis | NewApples: good question | 06:16 |

| ozzmosis | NewApples: if nobody here knows you could try asking someone on youtube who's uploaded demo videos of Ubuntu | 06:16 |
| StrangeCharm | daps, maybe the server kernel isn't right for the vm virutal cpu? | 06:17 |
| ozzmosis | NewApples: or another Linux | 06:17 |
| chuck_ | NewApples, recordmydesktop | 06:17 |
| yaris123456789 | StrangeCharm: to get 1000 different ips ? | 06:17 |
| NewApples | chuck_ thanks i am looking into that yoyoned also told me that | 06:17 |
| NewApples | ozzmosis recordmydesktop seems to be a program | 06:17 |
| Daps | StrangeCharm, hmm.. ok, i'll do some research.. thanks for all your help ;) | 06:17 |
| ozzmosis | NewApples: ah | 06:17 |
| wvmac | how can i repair grub from a live cd | 06:18 |
| NewApples | chuck_ yoyoned that program is even in applications add/remove thank you both very much ;) | 06:18 |

| HDFAIL | BTW Gnea why does desktop effects run fine with the LIVECD but not on 9.04 | 06:58 |
| Xcell | lol | 06:58 |
| HDFAIL | err i mine but no on a normal install on the same laptop | 06:59 |
| JGodbout | NewApples: No, !viruses is not an antivirus program | 06:59 |
| Gnea | HDFAIL: o.O?! you know, I've never installed 9.04 via cd... | 06:59 |
| Gnea | always been an upgrade from previous 8.10 or earlier | 06:59 |
| JGodbout | You shouldn't need an anti-virus program for Ubuntu | 06:59 |
| NewApples | JGodbout ok then what does !viruese mean? | 06:59 |
| Gnea | NewApples: clamav is | 06:59 |
| chuck_ | NewApples, No it is not an anti virus program i was trying to be lazy and let the bot explain | 06:59 |
| Gnea | !virus | 06:59 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 06:59 |
| NewApples | chuck_ ahh | 06:59 |
| hemanth | howto --auto-close , zenity --info --text ?? | 07:00 |

| Xcell | ok nice | 07:00 |
| leaphion | problem: when inserting a disc with a distro inside, why does it after blanking the disc say "cannot eject disc, some program doesn't let it" or something similar? | 07:00 |
| leaphion | how can I avoid this? | 07:01 |
| HDFAIL | unmount it | 07:01 |
| Xcell | un_dave- bookmark that page for further info. | 07:01 |
| Jar | Gnea: Think you can help me with my issue? I have the same error as HDFAIL. | 07:01 |
| leaphion | HDFAIL: with umount? | 07:02 |
| Gnea | Jar: is it a laptop hd as well or..? | 07:02 |
| Jar | Gnea: It's a laptop with Ubuntu on a USB External HD. | 07:02 |
| donkey | i need help. im having a problem with the wireless internet on my other laptop i just installed ubuntu and now need to get the wireless working. i need someone to walk me through it. please help. i have the new version of ubuntu\ | 07:02 |
| un_dave | Xcell: well, i did apt-get remove nvidia-glx-180, restarted, but now it's still not bringing up gnome. | 07:02 |
| HDFAIL | leaphion just right click | 07:02 |
| HDFAIL | unmount should work? | 07:03 |
| ohzie | Hey everyone! :) I've got this problem where Ubuntu can't tell that I have an nvidia graphics card. When I LSHW is shows up as UNCLAIMED MCP67 co-processor | 07:03 |
| un_dave | Xcell: isnt there some bulletproofX thing now that should make sure i always have gui ??? | 07:03 |
| Xcell | startx | 07:03 |
| leaphion | HDFAIL: okay, I'll test the next time I'm blanking a disc | 07:03 |
| ohzie | Any ideas on how to fix this? | 07:03 |
| leaphion | HDFAIL: thanks for the info | 07:03 |
| Gnea | Jar: oi... yeah, running any OS off of an external USB harddrive carries a certain risk with it... if it was a flashdrive, that'd be a different story (no time differential to moving parts, etc) | 07:03 |
| Jar | Gnea: it worked fine for Ubuntu 8, just fails for 9. | 07:04 |
| HDFAIL | Jar was it hard to set it up like that? | 07:04 |
| booter | hey. my zune acts up if its plugged into 9.04 but worked fine plugged into 8.10. | 07:04 |
| booter | what happened | 07:04 |
| HDFAIL | as my HD is dead i mght attempt that | 07:04 |
| HDFAIL | couldnt make it work with openbsd | 07:04 |
| Gnea | Jar: have you tried jumping back to 8.10? | 07:04 |
| ohzie | Jar, I'm willing to throw in the vote that you were probably experiencing a rare and amazing exception, and not the rule. :P | 07:04 |
| HDFAIL | ohzie i have the same issue as him :p not so rare | 07:05 |
| Gnea | HDFAIL: right, only difference is that your hd is permanent, his is detachable | 07:05 |
| gartral_ | how do i remane a file from terminal? | 07:05 |
| Gnea | gartral_: mv file newfile | 07:05 |
| ohzie | HDFAIL, I don't mean that the problem is rare, so much as that the install of an OS on a USB hard drive actually working, at all, is very rare. The fact that it worked WELL as ubuntu 8 is amazing. | 07:06 |
| HDFAIL | OHHHHHHhhh | 07:06 |
| ohzie | Does anyone here use a mobile nvidia graphics card? | 07:06 |
| HDFAIL | yes i failed when i tryed that with openbsd | 07:06 |
| Gnea | ohzie: I do | 07:06 |
| un_dave | Xcell: i get fatal error ' no screens found' ... ok, at least that's given me something to google. | 07:06 |
| Jar | HDFAIL: It was easy to setup. Same way as in UB8. | 07:06 |
| ohzie | Gnea, can you please pastebin your xorg.conf? | 07:06 |
| un_dave | ohzie: yep. attempting to get them working in 9.04 right now | 07:06 |
| Jar | Gnea: I'm just wondering if this is fixable, I'd rather use 9.04. | 07:06 |
| Jar | ohzie: Exception? | 07:07 |
| Xcell | ya.. google will give you some education on the matter..youll get it | 07:07 |
| ohzie | Jar, neverming | 07:07 |
| leaphion | gartral_: mv filename.txt newfilename.txt | 07:07 |
| Jar | lol | 07:07 |
| ohzie | un_dave, does yours also come up in lshw as an unclaimed mcp67 co-processor? | 07:07 |
| Gnea | ohzie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174079/ | 07:07 |
| Jar | Ubuntu 8 worked better on my EHDD than on my permenant HD. | 07:07 |
| StrangeCharm_ | why won't dmraid activate my raid5 array? | 07:08 |
| ohzie | Gnea, and that works fine for you? :D | 07:08 |
| Kai_wp | So I'm trying to access my Windows network from a XUbuntu 8.10 Live CD, but I haven't had much luck so far. I've installed Samba, and I can't see anyone on the network. And I've tried PyNeighborhood which says "Failed to scan workgroup" when I try to look at my workgroup. Why would that be? | 07:08 |
| Gnea | Jar: I.. don't really know. are all of the ports usb 2.0 and the cable is 2.0 capable? | 07:08 |
| un_dave | ohzie: nope. it sees mine as 7300gs's. i have 2. | 07:08 |
| Kai_wp | The internet works fine and I can even ping other PCs on the network. | 07:08 |
| gartral_ | leaphion: is the string "rn" used anywhere popularly known? | 07:08 |
| Gnea | ohzie: sure does | 07:08 |
| Jar | Gnea: If it worked on UB8, wouldn't it work in UB9? | 07:08 |
| un_dave | strangecharm: i dont use dmraid. i use mdadm. | 07:08 |
| ohzie | Gnea, Nice. How would I force it to 1440x900? | 07:08 |
| HDFAIL | Jar my compfiz worked in 8 not 9 | 07:08 |
| HDFAIL | heh | 07:08 |
| Gnea | ohzie: no need, the nvidia driver itself should figure it out and allow you to select it | 07:08 |
| ohzie | Gnea, Nice | 07:09 |
| StrangeCharm_ | un_dave what's mdadm like? | 07:09 |
| Kai_wp | Anyone? | 07:09 |
| Xcell | un_dave- i have an old 7300 too.. i had no problems installing drivers...allthough i installed envyng so i could pick and choose drivers | 07:09 |
| Kai_wp | Does anyone know anything about getting networking working on a XUbuntu Live CD? | 07:09 |
| Gnea | Jar: UB9 has had a lot of issues - the nice thing is, it works for the most part. did you instlal UB9 from the get-go or upgrade it from a UB8 installation? | 07:09 |
| Jar | Gnea: Both ways. | 07:10 |
| ohzie | next question: is there anything I can do to make gksu not shadow out the screen behind the password window? | 07:10 |
| JGodbout | If you do not specify a swap partition in the custom partition option in the install, does Ubuntu automatically create a swap file? | 07:10 |
| un_dave | Xcell: yay! are you running 9.04? what does your xorg look like? what version of nvidia drives are you using ? | 07:10 |
| leaphion | gartral_: sorry, no idea | 07:10 |
| Xcell | 180 | 07:10 |
| JGodbout | !swap | JGodbout | 07:10 |
| ubottu | JGodbout, please see my private message | 07:10 |
| chemikalz | hey guys | 07:10 |
| * chemikalz is back. | 07:10 | |
| chemikalz | got all my sound working, | 07:10 |
| Xcell | but im 8.10 right now..9.04 i did the exact same thing.. | 07:11 |
| Gnea | !away | chemikalz | 07:11 |
| un_dave | strangecharm: it's pretty simple to use. you should be able to quickly activate your raid5 with it | 07:11 |
| ubottu | chemikalz: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 07:11 |
| un_dave | strangecharm: just see the 'man mdadm' | 07:11 |
| Gnea | Jar: that's just baffling.... | 07:11 |
| ohzie | uh is there a replacement for ctrl+alt+backspace? | 07:11 |
| un_dave | strangecharm: you might have to install the package first | 07:11 |
| ohzie | I'm not used to that not working | 07:11 |
| chemikalz | is gnea a bot? | 07:11 |
| * Gnea looks oddly at chemikalz | 07:11 | |
| Xcell | lol, | 07:11 |
| chemikalz | any linux heads in here | 07:11 |
| HDFAIL | hahaha | 07:11 |
| chemikalz | oops | 07:11 |
| chemikalz | <Gnea> !away | chemikalz | 07:12 |
| chemikalz | i was confused by that | 07:12 |
| chemikalz | thought was bot | 07:12 |
| Jar | Gnea: Do you think if I download Ubuntu 9 and install that would turn out different than my current method of installing? (using a ShipIt free live CD) | 07:12 |
| chemikalz | :) | 07:12 |
| Gnea | and you didn't see what ubottu said to you? | 07:12 |
| Gnea | chemikalz: clearly :) | 07:12 |
| chemikalz | oh sorry | 07:12 |
| chemikalz | ill change my away | 07:12 |
| chemikalz | for this network | 07:12 |
| Gnea | it would be appreciated, thank you | 07:12 |
| HDFAIL | wait people actualy order those free cds? | 07:13 |
| ohzie | Gnea, is ctrl+alt+backspace disabled in ubuntu 9 or is my keyboard borked? | 07:13 |
| Kai_wp | HDFAIL: Yes | 07:13 |
| Gnea | Jar: it might... it might not | 07:13 |
| gartral_ | leaphion: it was a joke en lue of my next alias | 07:13 |
| Gnea | HDFAIL: yeah, got a bunch delivered years ago | 07:13 |
| HDFAIL | dialup users i guess | 07:13 |
| Gnea | HDFAIL: they're great for installfests too :) | 07:14 |
| Jar | Lol, I just get them because I don't have to use a blank CD> | 07:14 |
| Xcell | imagine downloading ubuntu on dialup...wow | 07:14 |
| HDFAIL | hahaah | 07:14 |
| * Gnea decides not to imagine that ;) | 07:14 | |
| StrangeCharm_ | un_dave - does mdadm support existing softraids, or can it just create new setups? | 07:14 |
| StrangeCharm_ | un_dave also, my name ends in an underscore | 07:14 |
| HDFAIL | now to decide how to destroy this HD | 07:15 |
| === madmax is now known as Guest33580 | ||
| Xcell | whats wrong with it.. did you not try to scrub it with a partitioner? | 07:15 |
| Gnea | ohzie: I haven't gotten it to work in GDM... not sure about gnome either, but I switched all of my gnome/metacity stuff out and put E17 in its place, so it works there | 07:15 |
| HDFAIL | xcell pretty sure its past repair | 07:16 |
| yEOnjAE | hello | 07:16 |
| shriekout | hi | 07:16 |
| Gnea | HDFAIL: I enjoy the screw-apart, place the magnets elsewhere, slip a screwdriver in under the disk and apply pressure at a downward angle | 07:16 |
| un_dave | StrangeCharm_: i think it can do the whole lot. i created my raid5 with it. i guess i'm not so sure about existin arrays created with other systems though. i think it has autoscanning systems that will try autodetect an array though. that might help you. | 07:16 |
| Xcell | ok.. but ive had those pblms too.. and i scrubed them and they came back to life. | 07:16 |
| chemikalz | k made a custom nick profile for this server with away set to perm off | 07:17 |
| === Guest33580 is now known as madmax_X | ||
| HDFAIL | yah fire is no good eh? wont get hot enough | 07:17 |
| Gnea | chemikalz: good job | 07:17 |
| HDFAIL | or is that just a ghetto tv myth | 07:17 |

| HDFAIL | k i will try your method | 07:18 |
| Gnea | careful, and good luck ;) | 07:18 |
| HDFAIL | the hd is actualy amazing served atleast 5 years of encryption crunching | 07:19 |
| Gnea | !wireless | donkey (to get wireless working, please check this guide out first. also, wicd is a very good application to install in place of NetworkManager) | 07:19 |

| HDFAIL | kai_wp access how | 07:20 |
| Kai_wp | I've installed Samba and PyNeighborhood and no luck. Yet I can ping other PCs on the network. | 07:20 |
| HDFAIL | workgroup name correct? | 07:21 |
| HDFAIL | case sensetive is it not? | 07:21 |
| Gnea | Kai_wp: samba is for setting your end up to accept connections - it has nothing to do with connecting to other systems on the network in linux | 07:21 |
| Gnea | Kai_wp: have you tried Places->Network? | 07:21 |
| donkey | ubottu where can i get wicd and how do i know what wireless card i have? | 07:21 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:22 |

| Kai_wp | HDFAIL / Gnea : I was trying to access the other PCs through "PyNeighborhood" | 07:22 |
| Gnea | donkey: sudo apt-get install wicd | 07:22 |
| Gnea | Kai_wp: that isn't what I asked. | 07:22 |
| sacarlson | Kai_wp: even when I don't see them in the network list I can connect to them if I know there IP address | 07:22 |
| HDFAIL | smbclient //"$1"/ipc$ -N | 07:22 |
| un_dave | ok, hold up. should i be editing xorg.conf? i thought that was all ment to be automated now? my existing one just appears to be a template file. | 07:22 |
| HDFAIL | try something like that | 07:22 |
| Kai_wp | I'm sure the workgroup name is correct | 07:22 |
| HDFAIL | where $1 = your samba share ip | 07:22 |
| donkey | gnea will it work with the new ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| sacarlson | un_dave: I had to change xorg.conf manualy | 07:23 |

| donkey | gnea i tried to install that and it isnt working how do i go around to install it | 07:29 |
| Gnea | okay, well ndiswrapper is the only wireless driver that uses INF files | 07:29 |
| Gnea | donkey: I'm not sure what your wireless chipset is... that website will tell you which driver will work with it | 07:29 |
| Xcell | nn | 07:29 |
| donkey | gnea yea but how do i determine which chip i have? | 07:30 |

Any ideas? | 07:31 |
| Gnea | donkey: no need, you need to use pastebin | 07:32 |
| StrangeCharm_ | un_dave mdadm only supports its own systems, so i can't use it to mount my existing system | 07:32 |

| troy1 | gnea what ap? | 07:35 |
| Gnea | troy1: Access Point | 07:35 |

| Gnea | troy1: now I'm confused - you said wireless didn't work | 07:37 |
| troy1 | gnea its not working | 07:37 |
| ttmrichter | HDFAIL: with -N now I don't get a command line prompt. | 07:37 |
| troy1 | gnea let me explain i guess better | 07:37 |
| Gnea | troy1: okay, so you have your own AP at home and you want it to work there and elsewhere then, right? :) | 07:37 |
| troy1 | gnea correct | 07:38 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter try the tunnel | 07:38 |
| Gnea | okay cool | 07:38 |
| aspin | Gnea: not on the ubuntu list, the wifi is Acer InviLink 802.11b/g anyone familiar with it? | 07:38 |
| ttmrichter | HDFAIL: same error, same problem. | 07:38 |
| HDFAIL | blah ok sec | 07:38 |
| sacarlson | Kai_wp: goto places>Connect to Server> select service type: windows share fill in the server: with the ip address and the folder: with the folder name that is shared | 07:38 |
| Gnea | !wireless | aspin (check the list here, see what driver the chipset supports and how to find out what it is) | 07:38 |
| ubottu | aspin (check the list here, see what driver the chipset supports and how to find out what it is): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:38 |
| aspin | ta | 07:39 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter | 07:39 |
| HDFAIL | use my full syntax | 07:39 |
| HDFAIL | ssh -f fu@2.2.2.2 -L 1111:1.1.1.1:22 -N -i /path/to/key | 07:39 |
| Gnea | troy1: alright, well there's a few ways to go about this - easiest way to see if it'll pick your home AP up is to open a terminal and type this: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 07:40 |
| aspin | http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hosted/ubuntu-710-on-acer-aspire-5310.html :( | 07:40 |
| aspin | thats old though | 07:41 |
| Kai_wp | sacarlson: My "Places" menu doesn't contain "Connect To Server". :< | 07:41 |
| Kai_wp | It also lacks "Network". | 07:41 |
| Gnea | sacarlson: kai is on Xubuntu | 07:41 |
| troy1 | gnea wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down | 07:41 |
| Kai_wp | I suppose this would be much easier from an Ubuntu Live CD? | 07:41 |
| HDFAIL | u r in the ubuntu channel heh | 07:42 |
| linzhavon_ | yes. | 07:42 |
| sacarlson | Kai_wp: oh IC Xubuntu not sure then I guess you will have to use the command prompt then | 07:42 |
| Gnea | troy1: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 07:42 |
| Gnea | Kai_wp: that's why I suggested #xubuntu earlier | 07:43 |
| ttmrichter | HDFAIL: Same error. Same problem. Could we please start looking at where the problem is: the server configuration? | 07:43 |
| troy1 | gnea SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory | 07:43 |
| HDFAIL | bed gl hf, thx Gnea | 07:43 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: When you've SSH'd into the ssh host, does telnet backdoor 3128 connect? | 07:43 |
| Gnea | HDFAIL: np (play battle for wesnoth much? ;) ) | 07:44 |
| HDFAIL | ? no heh | 07:44 |
| troy1 | gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174097/ | 07:44 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: Yes. And I can use elinks on the remote machine using the localhosted squid proxy. | 07:44 |
| Gnea | ah, sorry, looked like gaming speak to me | 07:44 |
| StrangeCharm_ | why is dmraid not activating my array? i get the message "RAID set "nvidia_##########" was not activated" | 07:44 |
| HDFAIL | oh i playd starcraft back in the day | 07:44 |
| Gnea | troy1: hrm... and wicd doesn't have anything showing up in the wireless tab? | 07:45 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter i am still not 100% in what your actualy attempting todo | 07:45 |
| troy1 | nope | 07:45 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Able to pastebin the sshd_config ? | 07:45 |
| Gnea | HDFAIL: fun fun, later | 07:45 |
| troy1 | gnea when you had me put in wicd it removed the Network Configuration in the system/preferences tab | 07:45 |
| Gnea | troy1: can you pastebin output of the dmesg command? it's easier to install pastebinit and then: dmesg | pastebinit | 07:46 |
| Gnea | troy1: right, that's what it's supposed to do | 07:46 |
| HDFAIL | pastebinit? neat | 07:46 |
| Gnea | yup :) | 07:46 |
| * kmdm makes a mental note of that | 07:46 | |
| Gnea | !info pastebinit | 07:47 |
| ubottu | pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 344 kB | 07:47 |
| ttmrichter | HDFAIL: I'm trying to get aroudn the Great Firewall. | 07:47 |
| Gnea | pastebinit and dpkg go together like peanut butter and jelly | 07:47 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: Yes, I can do that. | 07:47 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter ok it filters http i take it? | 07:47 |
| ttmrichter | HDFAIL: it filters whatever the Chinese government feels threatened by. Or annoyed by. Or has had a bad day and glanced at briefly. | 07:48 |
| troy1 | gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174099/ | 07:48 |
| HDFAIL | Ohhhhhhh i think people bypass that shit ez with "Tor" | 07:48 |
| HDFAIL | but tunnels you http traffic shouldnt be hard | 07:49 |
| HDFAIL | tunneling* | 07:49 |
| Kai_wp | gnea: Oh, sorry, I missed that | 07:49 |

| Gnea | troy1: bingo: b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found | 07:50 |
| troy1 | gnea what do i do | 07:50 |
| losher | ttmrichter: I came late to this party, but this bit stands out a mile: open failed: administratively prohibited. When I google it, there's lots of chat about socksv4 vs socksv5. Have you guys disposed of this already? | 07:51 |
| ttmrichter | losher: There's a lot of chat about it with no actual useful advice that works, sadly. | 07:51 |
| ttmrichter | losher: The Google approach to help is about as effective as reading chicken entrails if you have a serious technical issue. | 07:51 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/18/tunnel-web-and-dns-traffic-over-ssh/ | 07:51 |
| Gnea | troy1: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware | 07:52 |
| kmdm | Aye, plus, ttmrichter is trying to forward 3128 for squid and not -D for a dynamic socksv5 | 07:52 |
| HDFAIL | did u follow something like that? | 07:52 |
| troy1 | gnea ok now what | 07:52 |
| trippssss | I cannot hibernate - status bar telling me vlc "playing media" yet vlc isn't even open. ps axuw | grep vlc shows nothing as well. what gives? | 07:53 |
| losher | ttmrichter: fair enough, but I assume there are only a finite number of reasons ssh will 'administratively prohibit' a channel | 07:53 |
| HDFAIL | ssh -D 8080 -fN user@server | 07:53 |
| HDFAIL | This creates a SOCKS compatible proxy, which is a requirement of the DNS forwarding. Other methods on the interwebs suggest using ssh -L or similar, which are not SOCKS compatible proxies. | 07:53 |
| stealth- | whats a basic image editor? gimp is increadible difficult to use without taking a tutorial and I just need some basic editing done. | 07:53 |
| Gnea | troy1: now reload the module.. find like like this: lsmod | grep 43 then: sudo rmmod <drivername> | 07:53 |
| ttmrichter | losher: I'm sure there is. It's just that nothing on Google has been helpful. At all. In the slightest. | 07:53 |
| Gnea | troy1: followed by: sudo modprobe <drivername> | 07:53 |
| ttmrichter | losher: OpenSSH's docs have been similarly unenlightening. The error might as well be "general error: good luck guessing what this means, luser!" | 07:54 |
| Gnea | troy1: it's like b43 or bcm43xx | 07:54 |
| Gnea | troy1: might be b43legacy | 07:54 |
| losher | ttmrichter: which version of openssh btw? | 07:54 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter that link i pasted works i just tested it | 07:54 |
| ttmrichter | HDFAIL: I tried that the first time you suggested it. It didn't work. | 07:54 |
| troy1 | gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174102/ | 07:54 |
| HDFAIL | what error | 07:55 |
| HDFAIL | try a different ssh account? | 07:55 |
| ttmrichter | The same error it's been for the past six god-damned hours. | 07:55 |
| Gnea | troy1: yup, b43, so: sudo rmmod b43 | 07:55 |
| HDFAIL | how should i know that? | 07:55 |
| ttmrichter | Sorry, I'm just getting really, really frustrated by this. | 07:55 |
| HDFAIL | dont be a dick, going to bed | 07:55 |
| Gnea | lol | 07:55 |
| ttmrichter | I wouldn't be so upset if this damned thing at least changed its message once in a while. | 07:55 |
| troy1 | gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174103/ | 07:56 |
| stealth- | whats a basic image editor? gimp is increadible difficult to use without taking a tutorial and I just need some basic editing done. | 07:56 |
| ttmrichter | losher: how do I find out what version? | 07:56 |
| Gnea | ttmrichter: yeah, problems like that, if i get irritated, i go and play some video game for awhile or do something else and come back to it - better to tackle a difficult problem with a fresh start... might figure something else out in the meantime that'll help | 07:56 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter have you tryd tor | 07:56 |
| HDFAIL | ssh -V | 07:56 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: For argument's sake, are you able to SSH tunnel anywhere else? say localhost:22 for example? | 07:56 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: explain further please? | 07:56 |
| ttmrichter | HDFAIL: Tor has two problems. First, it is too slow to be usable. Second, to get to the Tor web site I have to get past the Great Firewall.... | 07:57 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Well, if you tried -L2222:localhost:22 on your SSH tunne line, does ssh -p 2222 localhost work on your local machine? | 07:57 |
| HDFAIL | ttmrichter | 07:57 |
| Feldegastr | is there any way to set ubuntu up with 2 different video card profiles and for ubuntu to select the one to use automatically based on detected hardware? eg automatically switch between virtual hardware and nvidia drivers dopending on how the system is started? | 07:57 |
| HDFAIL | well i can show you how to select local enctry and exit nodes | 07:57 |
| Gnea | troy1: hrm... confirm that it loaded: lsmod | grep b43 | 07:57 |
| HDFAIL | so its fast | 07:58 |
| HDFAIL | if u know what ur doing :/ | 07:58 |
| Feldegastr | this used to work in ubuntu | 07:58 |
| troy1 | gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174106/ | 07:58 |
| Feldegastr | but latly it broke and i have to re-configure xorg each time i switch | 07:58 |
| ZcHxWm | hi | 07:58 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused | 07:59 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: I think I don't have the local machine set up with an SSH server. | 07:59 |
| Gnea | troy1: okay, dmesg again please | 07:59 |
| ZcHxWm | dpkg-reconfigure --xserver-xorg | 07:59 |
| HDFAIL | ./etc/init.d/sshd start | 07:59 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: -p 2222 ? | 07:59 |
| kmdm | so it tries port 2222 which is forwarded to the ssh server | 07:59 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: This is on the -L tunnel establishment. | 07:59 |
| troy1 | gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174107/ | 08:00 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: ssh -L 2222:localhost:22 localhost gives me that error. | 08:00 |
| Feldegastr | ZcHxWm that is what i have to do now, i didn't previously have to do that, ubuntu would keep both configurations | 08:00 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Aye, where you have the 2nd localhost I want that to be the SSH server you're connecting as before for squid | 08:00 |
| Gnea | troy1: success! 2818.159948] b43-phy1: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found | 08:00 |
| Gnea | troy1: now try to scan with wicd | 08:01 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: So you're probably need -i as well | 08:01 |
| kmdm | you'd * | 08:01 |
| === cabontax is now known as carbontax_ | ||
| troy1 | gnea how do you scan with it? | 08:01 |
| === carbontax_ is now known as carbontax | ||
| ttmrichter | kmdm OK, that worked. | 08:01 |
| Gnea | troy1: open it up, go to the wireless section and click on the > arrow, so that it points down | 08:02 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: ssh -L 2222:gateway:22 gateway, followed by a ssh -p 2222 localhost got me a connection. | 08:02 |
| Gnea | troy1: then give it some time to do its thing | 08:02 |
| troy1 | gnea there is no arrow on the wireless section just says "no wireless networks found" anything in the preferences i have to change? | 08:02 |
| Gnea | troy1: yeah, open the preferences and does it have anything for the wireless interface? | 08:03 |
| troy1 | gnea wlan0 | 08:04 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Ok, that's good... so ssh tunnels fundamentally work. On the gateway server... If you do telnet gateway 3128 then when it connects do "GET http://www.google.com HTTP/1.0" do you get a whole bunch of HTML back? | 08:04 |
| infinityxi | Can anyone tell me how I can manually adjust the screen resolution in ubuntu 9.04. The provided defaults in the gui settings are too small. | 08:04 |
| === goose is now known as goose|zZz | ||
| ttmrichter | kmdm: Yes, and I can also use elinks setting the local proxy. | 08:04 |
| shyam | as i try localnet install with tftp, it says the server isn't supporting tsize option now as i try tftp-hpa it isn't just working. though i have inetd.conf with "tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd /tftpboot" and /etc/default/tftpd-hpa configured as per help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet... no idea whats going wrong.. | 08:04 |
| shyam | am trying with tftp and dhcp3-server | 08:05 |
| Gnea | troy1: okay, back out of that and try this again: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 08:05 |
| troy1 | gnea wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down | 08:05 |
| shyam | CarlFK: there?:) | 08:05 |
| Gnea | troy1: *sigh* bring it up again: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and try the scan again | 08:05 |
| troy1 | gnea SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory | 08:06 |
| Gnea | troy1: is that from ifconfig or iwlist? | 08:06 |
| troy1 | gnea what do you mean? | 08:07 |
| troy1 | gnea i just type it in terminal | 08:07 |
| Gnea | troy1: the SIOCSIFFLAGS: | 08:07 |
| dot | My youtube is not working on 9.04 ubuntu. the audio doesn't play but still my mp3 files play the music | 08:07 |
| Gnea | well, that was the result of one of the commands | 08:07 |
| dot | I hafe flash 10 | 08:07 |
| Gnea | which command was it? | 08:07 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: I got it working, but at the expense of opening the proxy server wide. | 08:07 |
| troy1 | gnea what do you want me to do type that in, in terminal? > SIOCSIFFLAGS | 08:07 |
| Gnea | dot: how did you install flash 10? | 08:08 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: For some reason squid is seeing the SSH connection as not being from local. | 08:08 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Oh, what did you have to do? | 08:08 |
| Gnea | troy1: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 08:08 |
| dot | Gnea: .deb file | 08:08 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: http_access allow all | 08:08 |
| Gnea | dot: from adobe's website? | 08:08 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: REALLY not what I want to do. | 08:08 |
| dot | yea | 08:08 |
| dot | Gnea: yea from website | 08:08 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Ahhh, what was that line before? | 08:08 |
| dot | adobe's | 08:08 |
| troy1 | gnea SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory | 08:08 |

| ttmrichter | kmdm: http_access deny all | 08:08 |
| Gnea | dot: wrong way to do it. remove it, and then run this on the commandline: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 08:09 |
| infinityxi | my default is not the hardware max | 08:09 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: No, I mean, you've obviously setup squid to a limited number of allowed IPs, what are they? | 08:09 |
| tokies | Hi one my drives died and i had 8.10 - i think? then in installed 9.04 on to a 1TB drive. the drive with 8.10 is gone now my 9.04 isn't booting. because i think i have no grub installed | 08:09 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: Localhost only. | 08:09 |
| tokies | Is there a way to install grub? | 08:09 |
| Gnea | !grub | tokies | 08:09 |
| ubottu | tokies: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 08:09 |
| * Gnea notes that TB drives are teh suck | 08:09 | |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Hm, what address does "ping gateway" resolve to on the SSH host? | 08:09 |
| dot | Gnea: how do I remove it? | 08:09 |
| tokies | thanks Gnea | 08:09 |
| Feldegastr | infinityxi i have a similar problem except mine is set to the resolution i want, X is still using a low res | 08:10 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: unknown host. | 08:10 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Cause for that setup I think you'd want -L3128:localhost:3128 -i ... backdoor | 08:10 |
| Gnea | dot: see how it's called first: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep adobe, then sudo apt-get remove <packagename> | 08:10 |
| ay^ | This might be a rhythmplayer-bug/feature but since I upgraded to 9.04 rhythmplayer wants to search for "suitable plugins" for something called "application/x-bittorrent decoder". I tried searching for this on google but the keyword bittorrent just messes it up. Is this some feature that was enabled in the upgrade or what have I done? And most importantly how can I disable this search, because ut never finds such a plugin and | 08:10 |
| ay^ | It happend right after I launch rhythmplayer | 08:11 |

| losher | kmdm, ttmrichter: the suspense is killing me.... | 08:14 |
| infinityxi | Feldegastr: what type of vid card? are you using open source drivers of the restricted ones? | 08:15 |
| GreenDelta2 | hey guys, i installed win after installing ubuntu 9.04 on a ext4 fs. so it deleted GRUB and now i try to reinstall it, but i am on a ubuntu 8.10 live system which doesnt support ext4. how can i install some kind of ext4 support? | 08:15 |
| ttmrichter | losher, kmdm: I think I may have this solved, but don't know why (which bugs me). | 08:15 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: Well, if what I said just worked I can tell you why, I think... | 08:15 |
| ttmrichter | Changing the -L clause to go to localhost while making Squid only permit localhost fixed it. | 08:15 |
| dot | Gnea: it found flashplugin-installer, flashplugin-nonfree and mnemosyne | 08:15 |
| Feldegastr | infinityxi restricted nvidia drivers and vmware drivers | 08:15 |
| Gnea | GreenDelta2: by installing 9.04 | 08:15 |
| ghindo | GreenDelta2: I don't suppose you have an Ubuntu 9.04 CD? | 08:15 |
| ttmrichter | Any other combination fails with "generic error message: guess what this means luser!". | 08:15 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: on the ssh host, do ping backdoor | 08:16 |
| GreenDelta2 | Gnea: *dough* | 08:16 |
| GreenDelta2 | ghindo: i cant find it anymore... | 08:16 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: It more than likely doesn't say 127.0.0.1, so your tunnel wasn't trying to connect over the localhost ip (127.0.0.1) and so was getting blocked by squid's ACLs | 08:16 |
| ttmrichter | So basically the name in the command line for the tunnel seems to have to match what squid is looking for. Which hurts my brain. | 08:16 |
| ghindo | GreenDelta2: Well, you could burn a new one, or any other LiveCD which supports ext4 | 08:17 |
| eso | how can i see which video driver that is actually in use? | 08:17 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: (At least it works ;)) | 08:17 |
| ghindo | GreenDelta2: Also, generally it's not advisable to install Windows after Ubuntu for this reason | 08:17 |
| infinityxi | Feldegastr: ahh I am not too sure on 9.04 and ubuntu has never gotten resolution right for me out of the box before. | 08:17 |
| Gnea | dot: weird, it should work just fine then... are you using pulseuadio? | 08:17 |
| Feldegastr | infinityxi both drivers work, the issue is getting ubuntu to use the correct one and use the reslution i set | 08:17 |
| losher | kmdm, ttmrichter: and in only 6 hours, too... | 08:17 |
| dot | Gnea: should I? | 08:17 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm: Yeah, that seems to be what it is. | 08:17 |
| kmdm | losher: I don't think he wants reminding... ;) | 08:18 |
| infinityxi | yeah the drivers worked for me too, but ubuntu has always guessed the best resolution for me wrong | 08:18 |
| dot | Gnea: Yea I have it installed | 08:18 |
| Gnea | dot: it's fairly common, but perhaps it's causing a problem | 08:18 |
| infinityxi | in your xorg conf do you have a few resolutions listed? i just took the lower res listed out | 08:18 |
| Feldegastr | infinityxi without having to reconfigure manually after i boot up using the other video setup | 08:18 |
| dot | Gnea: I should remove it? should I install anything else? | 08:18 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm, losher: Yeah, way to rub it in. Thanks. :D | 08:18 |
| unikon | using Hardy 8.04 whats the command to download and install trucrypt | 08:18 |
| dot | instead of pulseaudio | 08:18 |
| losher | kmdm, ttmrichter: I've seen people on here ask the same question for days without getting an answer. 6 hours isn't the worst I've seen by a long shot.... | 08:18 |
| Gnea | dot: check your sound settings and put the output to ALSA instead of pulseaudio (don't remove pulseaudio) | 08:18 |
| dot | Gnea: it wants me to remove ubuntu desktop | 08:18 |
| dot | ok I wont | 08:19 |
| Gnea | :) | 08:19 |
| ttmrichter | kmdm, losher: OK, mental note: axe murder the guy who designed SSH. And thanks for all the assistance people. Even the suggestions that didn't work eventually narrowed down the problem. :D | 08:19 |
| shyam | mummmy.. tftp is being timed out!!! :'( | 08:19 |
| * Gnea notes: we now know who the next axe murderer is gonna be | 08:19 | |
| Gnea | j/k :) | 08:19 |
| kmdm | ttmrichter: To be fair to the SSH guys it was the squid acl's.... ;-) | 08:19 |
| dot | Gnea: what name of the ALSA package? | 08:20 |
| troy1 | gnea i restarted and it still isnt working | 08:20 |
| Gnea | dot: er, no need to worry about the package, just click on System->Preferences->Sound | 08:20 |

| HDFAIL | Kollaps i had the same error | 08:27 |
| HDFAIL | haha | 08:27 |
| Gnea | paul68: either or... xubuntu uses xfce and so it's a little less resource intensive (since gnome is a hog) | 08:27 |
| Kollaps | HDFAIL: Your name is not encouraging at all | 08:28 |
| Gnea | losher: but I wouldn't be caught dead or alive with it that short ;) | 08:28 |
| mobi-sheep | OpenPsycho: They do not ask me for my password. They asked me for a password to create. So I wanted to know why, and perhaps learn how to use keyring for my own benefits too. | 08:28 |
| HDFAIL | heh i am about to order a new one | 08:29 |
| Gnea | dude, HDFAIL is the best nick ever | 08:29 |
| Kollaps | Well I can boot another partition just f ine ... | 08:29 |
| HDFAIL | heh | 08:29 |
| Kollaps | It can't be the hd | 08:29 |
| Gnea | it could've been LSSEGV | 08:29 |
| paul68 | Gnea: I heard that you can install xfce aswell under ubuntu or is it advisable to change to xubuntu to get the full benifit out of it | 08:29 |
| HDFAIL | Kollaps : i found the link to fix are issue | 08:29 |
| losher | Kollaps: I'd guess your disk is failing. Next step is to run manufacturers diagnostics on the disk | 08:29 |
| Gnea | paul68: both ways are fine, whatever suits you | 08:30 |
| HDFAIL | it is gone heh | 08:30 |
| Kollaps | HDFAIL: the link ?? | 08:30 |
| paul68 | Gnea: what is the name of the xfce package under ubuntu? | 08:30 |
| Lint01 | paul68: but mind that Xfce in no less slow then Gnome | 08:30 |

| OpenPsycho | mobi-sheep: yes they ask you for a password...and with this password they keep the access to other resources restricted....the next time you are to use those resources..you have to provide with this password. | 08:30 |
| Gnea | paul68: it's as simple as: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop <-- takes care of it all for you | 08:30 |
| paul68 | Lint01: meaning? | 08:31 |
| paul68 | Gnea: thanks | 08:31 |
| Gnea | paul68: cheers | 08:31 |
| Lint01 | paul68: if Gnome is slow o0n your machine, Xfce most probably will | 08:31 |
| paul68 | Gnea: do you have any ideas on how to get rid of the screen in thunderbird that when you want to send a mail to someone that you want to send it in text html ect... | 08:32 |
| Gnea | paul68: just select which you want it to be default in prefernces | 08:32 |
| paul68 | Lint01: didn,t say gnome was slow I just asked which distro is better for my laptop xubuntu or ubuntu | 08:33 |
| paul68 | Gnea: ok thanks again | 08:33 |
| Gnea | Lint01: not likely | 08:33 |

| Kollaps | I still don't know how my root partition could get so screwed up | 08:34 |
| HDFAIL | do u get some uuid msg? | 08:34 |
| losher | Kollaps: It can still mean a failing disk. If you can boot, I would download and run the SMART tools at a minimum | 08:34 |
| Kollaps | I can boot another OS on the same harddrive, I can access one of my two ext3 partitions but the other ext3 partition which happens to be the root won't boot | 08:35 |
| Kollaps | It gives a lot of ata errors | 08:35 |

| troy1 | gnea now on the network configuration it doesnt even show an option to view wireless when you left click it | 08:36 |
| Kollaps | But among those errors I could see loading modules and mounting /proc and the works so it's not completely unbootable | 08:36 |
| losher | Kollaps: Are you joking? Backup any *essential* data on the disk while you still can. The run the manufacturer's diagnostic | 08:37 |
| aprilhare | i have a 1 hr 36 minute flv video (1 GB). i want to convert it to something useful (e.g. divx compatible avi) and ensure the image ratio is 16:10 right through (it changes in places but the whole thing looks good in 16:10). where do I start? :) | 08:39 |
| Kollaps | aprilhare: you can probably have it compressed and get a much smaller mp4 file (via h264 encoding) | 08:40 |
| gartral_ | how do i set up server-side keepalive for sshd? | 08:40 |
| aprilhare | Kollaps: that sounds good for a start (still want divx avi for playback on my main tv but its a start). what do I need? :) | 08:40 |
| Kollaps | Look into ffmpeg or mencoder. You won't be able to get it compressed to an avi though | 08:41 |

| troy1 | paul68 it might be b43 | 08:49 |

| losher | Kollaps: my understanding of disk technology is that your disk has already failed: it has already tried to read the block, failed, tried to do error correction on it, failed, tried to reallocate the block elswhere and failed, and finally given up & reported an error. The only question now is whether it will degrade gracefully or grind to an abrupt halt.... | 08:52 |

| troy1 | paul68 it had Broadcom B43 (it had a grey dot so i tried to activate and then it said i disabled it after) | 08:54 |
| losher | Kollaps: my understanding is that once a modern disk starts to throw errors, it's basically toast and will never again be reliable. Backup anything indispensable if you can, and buy a new disk. Sorry.... | 08:55 |
| paul68 | troy1: try to enable it and reboot normally you should be able to use the broadcom driver | 08:55 |

| klobster | hello | 09:02 |
| bk128 | so does anyone know the best way to do triple monitors? | 09:02 |
| KB1JWQ | Kollaps: Principle is this: Your drive is going to fail. It could be in ten minutes, it could be in ten days. dd_rescue is an error-tolerant imager; it'llc reate an image of your drive, that you can recover data from. | 09:03 |
| losher | Kollaps: Typically the failures start small and then spread, or the disk just dies completely. Either way, you're on borrowed time.... | 09:03 |

| badfish69 | as far as gnu is concerned, gimp is amongst the top 3 programs that have seriously impressed me | 09:23 |
| infinityxi | paul68: the desktop environment and default desktops apps basically | 09:23 |

| Gnea | I can browse the web, watch videos, email, gimp/photoshop, play games, run windows, whatever | 09:24 |

| stealth- | whats that command that gives you a list of commands in a tree format? | 09:25 |
| tanveer | i understand now LINUX DOES NOT SUCK!! but vista does | 09:25 |
| KB1JWQ | newbie: If you want users shared across multiple machines, use LDAP. | 09:25 |
| Gnea | of course, windows runs off of the 3ghz dualcore system with 2gb of ram, but then again, that system doesn't run X | 09:25 |
| KB1JWQ | If you're trying to share users between instances, for god's sake STOP. | 09:25 |
| infinityxi | yeah, xubuntu will definitely be better for older or less beefy hardware | 09:25 |
| acuster | hello all, how do I find out more info, on the commandline, for a package that has been 'kept back'? | 09:26 |
| madmax_X | paul68: xubuntu is lightweight for slower hardware | 09:26 |
| Gnea | tanveer: oh, totally. vista is a nightmare. | 09:26 |
| infinityxi | and you can theme it so it doesn't look plain. | 09:26 |

| infinityxi | yeah just type it in the terminal | 09:28 |
| tanveer | and is it better than gnome? | 09:29 |
| stealth- | acuster: generally, packages that are being held back are being held back because they are kernel changes or major updates. From the terminal, you can run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to upgrade those | 09:29 |
| bazhang | tanveer, not kde | 09:29 |

| stealth- | troopperi: depends on your POV, but kde is nicer in my opinion. Slower, but nicer | 09:29 |
| infinityxi | paul68: i was just saying xubuntu uses less resources and does look plain. but it can be themed to look just as good as a gnome desktop thats all | 09:29 |

| NewApples | Is there a linux based anti virus that actively seeks and destroys viruses whilst you are using the computer.

| infinityxi | they aren't debs, the are just tar.gz on the sites, you just install it through the appearance gui | 09:32 |
| whatvn | tanveer: if you look at my ubuntu, so will say that: oh, vista is so ugly :-p | 09:32 |

| wind0pain | pouchedfox: i have a "cpu scaling" applett which lets me change it but when i restart it goes back to ondemand... also i'd like to switch to kde :/ | 09:33 |

| * wind0pain is switching to ubuntu because his new pc came with vista. | 09:33 | |
| whatvn | tanveer: sure | 09:33 |

| infinityxi | windows just has the install base, and the moronic "security" model that makes it to easy | 09:35 |
| stealth- | infinityxi: well the virus would be unable to spread and then nobody else would get it so no it doesnt work | 09:35 |
| newbie | how do I turn off the acess permission for my NTFS partition? It seems to ask every session an lesser users cannot ask at all | 09:36 |
| infinityxi | you're assuming there there wouldn't be a vulnerability in any software you run | 09:36 |
| Gnea | stealth-: actually, linux *can* get viruses - it's just much more difficult | 09:36 |
| infinityxi | why do you think you get security updates from the repos? | 09:36 |
| whatvn | newbie: unmount it lol | 09:36 |
| KB1JWQ | newbie: Sounds like a question for #windows? :D | 09:36 |
| infinityxi | it's about risk vs reward | 09:36 |
| infinityxi | it's harder to infect a linux system | 09:36 |
| stealth- | infinityxi: linux is designed in a way that viruses cannot spread. If there was a vunerability in the software you run, nothing would happen because the virus would not be able to run since it cant write to the program binary. | 09:36 |
| efu | The viruses that actually cause a lot of trouble on windows nowadays, are executables that need to be run by the user. That relies on user mistakes, and that can happen just as easily on linux. | 09:37 |
| infinityxi | and there aren't that many desktops out there vs windows | 09:37 |
| NewApples | stealth- i disagree and this Ubuntu instruction web page also disagrees with you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 09:37 |
| stealth- | Gnea: I know, ive done research :) | 09:37 |
| infinityxi | yeah because you never sudo to do anything right stealth-? | 09:37 |
| NewApples | Gnea i will look at that | 09:37 |
| newbie | KB1JWQ: I asked but they didn't undertand what permission meant | 09:37 |
| Gnea | stealth-: I gotta disagree with that statement. if a user downloads to a samba share and it's not scanned and quarantined, then anybody on a windows system could click on it. | 09:37 |
| KB1JWQ | newbie: Perhaps you're not asking what you think you're asking? | 09:37 |
| whatvn | stealth: that why many av written for Linux. Clamav or something likes it | 09:37 |
| stealth- | NewApples | infinityxi : Im not saying virus's are impossible to get. What im saying is they die faster than they can spread so they are effectively not a problem | 09:38 |
| infinityxi | no you actually said they were impossible | 09:38 |
| newbie | KB1JWQ: most likeley not. | 09:38 |
| infinityxi | now you're just agreeing with me | 09:38 |
| stealth- | infinityxi: because they cant get started | 09:38 |
| gartral | Gnea: starting gdm the way you recommended isn't working | 09:38 |
| Gnea | stealth-: viruses don't just automatically 'die faster' in linux - there has to be a scanning method to find and take care of it if that was true | 09:38 |
| NewApples | stealth- ok stealth i trade with stocks on my computer before when i had windows i would by one computer own it for onw week then destroy it | 09:38 |
| stealth- | infinityxi: im not saying the systems are invincible, im saying its not gonna spread to anyone so its no longer a virus. Its just an exploit | 09:38 |
| newbie | what I mean to say is how to I get it to stop asking me for permission to access and just access it. | 09:38 |
| Gnea | gartral: try 'restart' instead of 'start' | 09:38 |

| stealth- | KB1JWQ: think whatever you want, just read the article and argue with that guy. You guys are some of those people who argueing with is pointless | 09:41 |
| Gnea | stealth-: and while you're there, please do be looking for things called 'rootkits' | 09:41 |
| madmax_X | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 09:42 |
| NewApples | infinityxi YES my stock trading program is not from the repositories, also i want to be able to surf the net and read different news pappers | 09:42 |
| madmax_X | sudo killall gdm | 09:42 |
| infinityxi | NewApples: install NoScript | 09:42 |
| infinityxi | for firefo | 09:42 |
| gartral | Gnea: your suggestion faulterd, as well | 09:42 |
| elahe | hi | 09:42 |
| stealth- | Gnea: *sigh*. Exploits, rootkits, etc. Thats funny, no viruses. hm... if you havnt noticed. A rootkit is called a rootkit cause its not a virus | 09:42 |
| NewApples | infinityxi what is NoScript and what does it do | 09:42 |
| infinityxi | if you're worried about random sites screwing with you. though it is highly unlikely | 09:42 |
| madmax_X | gartral: ctrl + alt + F7 | 09:43 |
| infinityxi | NewApples: NoScript prevents scripts from running on a webpage unless you want it to | 09:43 |
| * KB1JWQ thinks it's time for the /ignore | 09:43 | |
| NewApples | infinityxi i am always worried about everything all the time | 09:43 |
| infinityxi | this way there is less of a chance of a website doing something it isn't supposed to do. | 09:43 |
| gartral | madmax_X: no virtual consols, trying to get ming working | 09:43 |
| NewApples | infinityxi i see | 09:43 |
| whatvn | stealth: wikipedia has a topic just for Linux Virus. you can check it out | 09:43 |
| infinityxi | oh and btw stealth, sometimes trojans and viruses don't care about the rest of the system | 09:43 |
| infinityxi | i mean if you have cc info in your home directory | 09:43 |
| infinityxi | who cares if it can't access /var | 09:44 |
| NewApples | infinityxi what i want is an antivirus program that actively scans my computer and if by some chans something does come in i want it destroyed | 09:44 |
| madmax_X | gartral: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 09:44 |
| wind0pain | ok, i can use "cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g powersave" to switch to powersave mode... how can i run that command at startup? is there a file i can simply add that to or do i need to create a separate script? | 09:44 |
| madmax_X | gartral: sudo killall gdm | 09:44 |
| stealth- | whatvn: yeah and you can read that article and talk to him, for the third time ill say it | 09:44 |
| Gnea | stealth-: hrm, gee, and I wonder what software would be called that protects against such things, as well as viruses intended to target windows and mac systems? maybe... an anti-virus scanner?! | 09:44 |
| KB1JWQ | stealth-: This is a support channel; please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:44 |
| madmax_X | gartral: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 09:44 |
| stealth- | KB1JWQ: um... if you havnt noticed, they keep talking to me. | 09:44 |
| whatvn | wind0pain: add it to start up program | 09:44 |
| gartral | madmax_X: iv'e issued that twice, it just "oks" at stopping then starting again, and returns to console leaving me dry.. | 09:44 |
| madmax_X | gartral: does it do anything/ | 09:45 |
| wind0pain | i see someone saying to write #!/bin/bash but i don't understand what that does | 09:45 |
| SiDi | Gnea: linux AV software are only good for scanning your samba shares for windows viruses.. | 09:45 |
| NewApples | Which is the best antivirus program for Ubuntu? | 09:45 |
| wind0pain | whatvn: start up program? | 09:45 |
| Gnea | stealth-: the point is, you're arguing a pointless argument. just because a factoid "says it's so" doesn't mean that it's blanketly 100% true in all cases. | 09:45 |
| infinityxi | hold on i'll look it up for you | 09:45 |
| Gnea | SiDi: are they? | 09:45 |
| SiDi | NewApples: ClavAV has been here for a while... but i seriously doubt you need an antivirus | 09:45 |
| gartral | madmax_X: the gdm greeter is supposedly loaded according to top.. but i never see it | 09:45 |
| whatvn | wind0pain: go to system-preference-startup app | 09:45 |
| Gnea | stealth-: sometimes we need to make edits to the factoids. blindly relying on them will get you nowhere, fast. | 09:46 |
| NewApples | SiDi yes i noticed ClavAV in the applications add/remove it is called Virus scanner do you mean that one ? | 09:46 |
| madmax_X | did you try killall | 09:46 |
| stealth- | Gnea: I know, but Ive got enough experience to know its true. I've experimented with linux viruses before. NONE of them worked. But yes, I would like this conversation to end too :) | 09:46 |
| infinityxi | NewApples: go to add/remove software | 09:46 |
| infinityxi | type in "virus" | 09:46 |
| SiDi | Gnea: i doubt kaspersky/put your favourite windows "security" editor here got any knowledge of how to stop viruses while they dont even have any in the wild with which they can train | 09:46 |
| NewApples | SiDi I am the most paranoid person on the planet whenyou write that i think that you are a hacker who wants to get mya ccount info... | 09:46 |
| infinityxi | "Virus Scanner" - its a frontend for ClamAV which is a good virus scanning app | 09:46 |
| gartral | madmax_X: yes | 09:46 |
| pouchedfox | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944190 <--command line cpu frequency scaling | 09:46 |
| SiDi | NewApples: i meant that one. If you're paranoid at this stage, drop Linux and go for OpenBSD or FreeBSD ;) | 09:46 |
| stealth- | Gnea: lol, also. How can I get nowhere fast? | 09:46 |
| whatvn | stealth: and you think people who write av for linux are all stupid *or whatever word you called* ?:| | 09:46 |
| Gnea | stealth-: good, then if you're in agreement that 'you' are not 'everyone else', then I do believe that we are done. :) | 09:47 |
| NewApples | infinityxi ok does it update, it it updatable does it constantly add new virus lists to itself? | 09:47 |
| madmax_X | gartral: and your ins F7 | 09:47 |
| infinityxi | yes it has virus definition updates | 09:47 |
| madmax_X | ctrl alt f6 | 09:47 |
| devilabove | I have a problem, when i play something (like on youtube) on firefox i hear no sound | 09:47 |
| madmax_X | ctrl alt f1 | 09:47 |
| NewApples | SiDi I am very paranoid but i am not computer wiz, this linux version is so far the only one that i atleast am able to use and understand i a limited fashion | 09:47 |
| madmax_X | what does dmesg say? | 09:47 |
| NewApples | SiDi I only understand stocks, not computers | 09:48 |
| wind0pain | whatvn: thanks... will these run if i switch to kde too? | 09:48 |
| mobi-sheep | SiDi: If you're [that] paranoid, I suggest you ax your machine. >:}~ | 09:48 |
| SiDi | NewApples: There's DragonFlyBSD that is designed for desktop end users :p | 09:48 |
| ripps | Does anybody know how to forward gpg-agent/seahorse/pinentry over ssh? | 09:48 |
| Gnea | SiDi: it's a matter of perspective - just because something hasn't been detected 'in the wild' doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, or at least has a lower probability of being out there or even active. | 09:48 |
| gartral | madmax_X: im not on an ubuntu or even linux machine, im running ubuntu at home and wish to get gdm over xming on a windows client | 09:48 |
| infinityxi | look, if a virus scan every now and then lets him sleep sound at night | 09:48 |
| whatvn | wind0pain: i didn't use KDE before, sory. I dont have experience with kde | 09:48 |
| infinityxi | why the hell not? | 09:48 |
| wind0pain | np thx | 09:48 |
| Gnea | infinityxi: agreed | 09:48 |
| madmax_X | gartral: ohhhhh you running zdmcp server? | 09:49 |
| NewApples | SiDi i spent this whole weekened trying to figure out Ubuntu linux i am way to lazy to figure out something else also there is a time factor, please just tell me the ebst anti virus for Ubuntu linux | 09:49 |
| whatvn | so you can add these command to rc.local, it will start this program too | 09:49 |
| madmax_X | xdmcp | 09:49 |
| infinityxi | you also have to realize that people coming into the linux world from windows | 09:49 |
| gartral | madmax_X: the ctrl+alt+Fxx key combs dont work with xming | 09:49 |
| infinityxi | have circuitry that says they have to virus scan | 09:49 |
| madmax_X | ya srry missed that part | 09:49 |
| stealth- | how can I kill a process(es) that I only know the name of? | 09:49 |
| SiDi | Gnea: the last attacks against linux machines are some damn password bruteforces on routers with a web interface... i don't mean we'll *never* have viruses, but : 1) linux is safer than windows in terms of intrusions | 2) our software distribution system makes it much much MUCH safer for our users | 09:49 |
| Gnea | stealth-: killall <name> | 09:49 |
| mobi-sheep | SiDi: Did you move to linux from Windows recently? | 09:50 |
| madmax_X | gartral: the chooser is up on your screen at home | 09:50 |
| whatvn | wind0pain: so you can add these command to rc.local, it will start this program too | 09:50 |
| gartral | madmax_X: no... xming just attactes strait onto the X11 server as a | 09:50 |
| Gnea | stealth-: but you knew that | 09:50 |
| stealth- | Gnea: oh yeah, thanks | 09:50 |
| Slart | NewApples: if you're feeling paranoid why not run some intrusion detection stuff.. rkhunter might be useful too.. write logs to some non-erasable medium.. and do proper backups.. that will keep you reasonably safe without trying to create a perfect system | 09:50 |
| infinityxi | it's branded in their brain that for a computer to function 50% of the CPU should be dedicated to symantec | 09:50 |
| SiDi | NewApples: the best antivirus is to not grab packages from websites and to only use the official repository for updates | 09:50 |
| SiDi | mobi-sheep: about 8 months ago. | 09:50 |
| stealth- | Gnea: lol, no. Im still messing with pstree and top :P | 09:50 |
| Gnea | stealth-: I thought you said you knew what you were talking about ;) | 09:50 |
| Slart | NewApples: just go with the assumption that you will, at some point, get totally owned by something you couldn't defend against | 09:50 |
| NewApples | Slart I know nothing about computers that is way over my capacity, I am looking for the best click click ok ok next next install Linux antivirus program | 09:50 |
| Gnea | stealth-: j/k :) | 09:51 |
| wind0pain | whatvn: does rc.local just run at a different time? i'd like to understand what scripts run at different times, for instance also where are the scripts that run only when users login and logout | 09:51 |
| gartral_ | madmax_X: yes, my display is at home, but xming was assighned "disply 10.0" by the X11 server | 09:51 |
| NewApples | Slart that is not an acceptable option | 09:51 |
| Gnea | SiDi: you will find no argument there | 09:51 |
| stealth- | Gnea: the above was a joke. I get alot into programing, but I still am unfamiliar with some server stuff | 09:51 |
| infinityxi | NewApples: software you install from the repository is signed meaning that if something is not kosher it will alert you. Software you get from random websites even for linux, you could scan if you wanted | 09:51 |
| SiDi | NewApples: i seriously think there is no _need_ of this :) just don't modify your system, don't grab ubuntu software from websites around, and you should be ok | 09:51 |
| Gnea | stealth-: it's all good | 09:51 |
| Slart | NewApples: are you really? so you're not really just looking for a way to not get your stuff deleted/destroyed? | 09:51 |
| madmax_X | gartral pm'd | 09:51 |
| whatvn | when you add a command to rc.local, this command will run whenever system start up | 09:51 |
| NewApples | Sidi I understand so you are saying the best option is the virus scanner provided by appliactions add/remove? | 09:51 |
| gartral_ | madmax_X: irssi seems too have broken PM support | 09:52 |
| whatvn | wind0pain: and also it stops when system shutdown | 09:52 |
| donkey | i need some help I just reinstalled ubuntu 8.10. i am trying to connect to the internet wirelessly and it isnt working. what should i try to do???????? | 09:52 |
| SiDi | NewApples: again, the best option is being careful. I don't think an antivirus software would help you at all. Usually they can recognise a virus _after_ it killed thousands of PCs, so i don't see the point | 09:52 |
| madmax_X | http://www.ax697.org/xming-with-windows-xp-and-ubuntu-200749.html | 09:52 |
| madmax_X | gartral | 09:52 |
| mobi-sheep | SiDi: Ah I see. If you want AntiVirus because you felt insecurity without having it running all times. I know because I felt awkward when I switched over. It's a matter of false security. In a way, you're saying that you prefer Antivirus running [supposedly] only to alleviate your concerns. | 09:52 |
| whatvn | donkey: how about wireless driver? | 09:53 |
| wind0pain | using "startup applications" didn't seem to work.. processors still boot up in ondemand | 09:53 |
| donkey | B43 | 09:53 |
| donkey | whatvn b43 | 09:53 |
| Gnea | NewApples: there are so many options for virus scanning in Ubuntu that you can practically have it scan its own scans - if you're looking for a GUI, it's there (clamgtk or something like that) and if you don't mind editting some config files, squid will actively scan your web traffic - it'll do port 80 and 443 | 09:53 |
| whatvn | wind0pain: can I know your command? | 09:54 |
| NewApples | Gnea, all i want is to keep mya ccount information safe | 09:54 |
| wind0pain | i see /etc/init.d/rc.local and /etc/rc.local.. both the same? yes, the command is cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g powersave and cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g powersave | 09:54 |
| whatvn | donkey: b43? what it meant? | 09:54 |
| mobi-sheep | SiDi: Oh Lulz. | 09:54 |
| NewApples | Gnea, account information | 09:54 |
| === matiu is now known as Guest46270 | ||
| wind0pain | whatvn: i see /etc/init.d/rc.local and /etc/rc.local.. both the same? yes, the command is cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g powersave and cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g powersave | 09:54 |
| infinityxi | NewApples: do you have account info in a file somewhere or in a program? | 09:54 |
| whatvn | wind0pain: first one | 09:54 |
| Slart | NewApples: oh.. and one more thing.. if there one day comes a working virus to the linux platform, guess what distro they will be targeting.. the largest one | 09:55 |
| donkey | whatvn what you mean what it meant? | 09:55 |
| infinityxi | you can probably encrypt your sensitive files | 09:55 |
| whatvn | donkey: b43? | 09:55 |
| tanveer | what the diff between gimpshop and gimp image editor?? | 09:55 |
| donkey | whatvn yes | 09:55 |
| Gnea | NewApples: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Security/SquidClamAv-8089.shtml | 09:55 |
| Slart | tanveer: the gui.. gimpshop was made to look more like photoshop iirc | 09:55 |
| whatvn | donkey: I meant what is ...b43? :| | 09:55 |
| tanveer | i installed gimp shop but it hasnt came up on graphic | 09:55 |
| NewApples | Slart and which one is the largest one | 09:55 |
| infinityxi | yeah gimpshop has MDI window model i believe | 09:55 |
| tanveer | i cant find it | 09:55 |
| donkey | whatvn broadcom | 09:56 |
| tanveer | i installed the .deb and it i can find it | 09:56 |
| SiDi | NewApples: use an LVN encrypted hard drive disk (you need the alternate install cd for that), don't share your username/password, don't store any passwords in 'seahorse', don't install ssh/ftp/apache/anything on your machine, don't accept any .py/.sh/.bin/.run file from the web, don't execute any file received by email (open them with their respective apps | 09:56 |
| NewApples | infinityxi no it is only in my head but to log onto the trading program i need to click on the keyboard to enter it into the program when i log into it | 09:56 |
| Slart | NewApples: there is a site called distrowatch.. my guess is ubuntu/fedora/mandrake or .. suse perhaps? | 09:56 |
| SiDi | NewApples: instead) and you'll be TOTALLY safe. | 09:56 |
| Gnea | NewApples: have you read this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security | 09:56 |
| whatvn | donkey: lspci | grep Wireless ? | 09:56 |
| NewApples | SiDi what i did before is buy one laptop pc per week ONLY use it for tradeing then destroy it, but that is so wastefull so that is one of the reasons i came to linux | 09:57 |
| SiDi | Slart: your argument about largest distro isnt relevant. If it hits us it'll hit mint/debian/ a lot of distros aswell. Only Fedora/RedHat are a bit different with their SELinux stuff | 09:57 |
| SiDi | NewApples: wow, you should have sent me the old machines instead ;) | 09:57 |
| infinityxi | hey can you "destroy" some laptops to my home address if you still do that? | 09:58 |
| infinityxi | lol | 09:58 |
| b14ck | is there a plugin for k3b to allow it to burn .img files to cdroms? | 09:58 |
| gartral_ | madmax_X: i pretty much figured all that out on my own, im trying for the encrypted variant, but i can log IN but i can't start the X server.. | 09:58 |
| infinityxi | you can keep the hard drive ;-) | 09:58 |
| Gnea | NewApples: you destroyed whole units?! | 09:58 |
| gartral_ | madmax_X: x session, rather | 09:58 |
| Slart | SiDi: true, perhaps I should have phrased it as "go with something small and different" | 09:58 |
| SiDi | Slart: you meant go with *bsd :p | 09:59 |
| madmax_X | gartral but are you loggin in via ssh | 09:59 |
| SiDi | NewApples: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems will give you more info | 09:59 |
| wind0pain | NewApples: most brokers and banks will alert you to changes and activity in your accounts... your information could just as easily be stolen from them as from your computer... well maybe easier from you but really, just keep an eye on it | 09:59 |
| gartral_ | madmax_X: yes. | 09:59 |
| tanveer | i installed gimpshop and it cant be found?? | 09:59 |
| Slart | SiDi: I didn't want to say it.. but yes.. that was the one I had in mind =) | 09:59 |
| SiDi | NewApples: you can also watch for current security issues here : http://www.ubuntu.com/usn | 09:59 |
| wind0pain | damn... still starting in "ondemand" power mode | 09:59 |
| madmax_X | dont ya need to tunnel to the xdmcp port on the server | 09:59 |
| Slart | tanveer: tried running gimpshop in a terminal? | 09:59 |
| infinityxi | NewApples: take it from me, you're more likely to have your info used by a bad employee | 09:59 |
| NewApples | Gnea yes | 09:59 |
| infinityxi | than for a virus to steal it on linux | 09:59 |
| Gnea | NewApples: when you install firefox, you should install the noscript plugin as well, that will prevent click-jacking and XSS, among other things | 10:00 |
| infinityxi | i had my banking info compromised and it ended up being an employee | 10:00 |
| SiDi | NewApples: you could aswell only destroy the HDD and _send me_ the rest of the machines :p | 10:00 |
| tanveer | nope i installed it using .deb | 10:00 |
| gartral_ | sounding like a moron.. how do i do that? | 10:00 |
| tanveer | slart:how can i find it? | 10:00 |
| NewApples | Wind0pain if my account information is accuried anyone can jsut log in and transfer my money out OR even worse they can just start tradeing and trade badly and lose all my money | 10:00 |
| Slart | !terminal | tanveer | 10:00 |
| ubottu | tanveer: 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 | 10:00 |
| infinityxi | SiDi: no fair, i have dibs lol | 10:00 |
| Vesayth | Does anyone know if it is at all possible yet to install Xorg 1.5 on Jaunty? | 10:00 |
| whatvn | tanveer: go to terminal and type gimpshop | 10:00 |
| tanveer | i found terminal now wat | 10:00 |
| Gnea | NewApples: do you work for the government or a terrorist organisation? | 10:00 |
| technophobic | does anyone know where i can get a shitlist for xchat please? | 10:01 |
| Kalmi | NewApples, wow.... destroying machines.... I wanna do that too.... | 10:01 |
| Slart | tanveer: type "gimpshop", press enter | 10:01 |
| tanveer | command not found | 10:01 |
| SiDi | Vesayth: you can try to grab the pckages from intrepid but seeing how many packages depend on it i'd say it's faster to go on intrepid and install the jaunty packages you'll miss | 10:01 |
| NewApples | SiDi no nothing was spared everything was destroyed I still do this I see it as a running cost, I make way more by trading then what the computers cost, think of it more as a cost to be able to trade | 10:01 |
| wind0pain | NewApples: and that would be fraudulent.. your broker doesn't protect you from things like that? | 10:01 |
| Gnea | technophobic: please ask in #xchat | 10:01 |
| technophobic | ok Gnea , thanks | 10:01 |
| NewApples | Gnea haha maybe ;) | 10:01 |
| Slart | tanveer: have you tried starting the normal gimp? | 10:01 |
| madmax_X | gartral isnt it in the putty config page on setting up a tunnel | 10:02 |
| tanveer | yh thats works | 10:02 |
| NewApples | wind=pain i like zero risk | 10:02 |
| ghindo | Does anybody know of a good way to use ffmpeg to extract audio from a video? | 10:02 |
| whatvn | tanveer: type in which gimpshop and press enter | 10:02 |
| infinityxi | NewApples: it would probably be more beneficial to donate the old machines and just destroy the hard drives | 10:02 |
| Gnea | NewApples: :) | 10:02 |
| tanveer | but i want gimpshop | 10:02 |
| wind0pain | NewApples: then you should not be in the market. | 10:02 |
| SiDi | NewApples: as a geek i still find it scandalous to destroy PCs :) if you wipe them out and give them to linux user groups they can use the hardware to make better drivers for instance :p | 10:02 |
| infinityxi | run it through a really powerful magnet and spare the rest of the hardware | 10:02 |
| tanveer | i tried it says bash: gimpshop | 10:02 |
| whatvn | tanveer: type in which gimpshop and press enter | 10:02 |
| wind0pain | investing is risky by definition. | 10:02 |
| mobi-sheep | Gnea: I don't know if NewApples is jestering around on that one. :X | 10:02 |
| madmax_X | gartral http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html | 10:02 |
| tanveer | impshop-2.2.11 | 10:02 |
| tanveer | gimpshop-2.2.11 | 10:02 |
| Kalmi | NewApples, there is no need to destroy the whole machine... you could you format the whole harddrive or replace the harddrive... and destroy the old one... | 10:03 |
| wind0pain | NewApples: i suggest using a matress to store your money. | 10:03 |
| wind0pain | but there's still risk of fire. | 10:03 |
| infinityxi | hahah | 10:03 |
| Slart | tanveer: some people say that starting gimp using the terminal gets them gimpshop, for some reason.. have you tried that? | 10:03 |
| SiDi | Gnea infinityxi wind0pain mobi-sheep NewApples what about we all join #ubuntu-offtopic and keep talking there ? there are other people around needing help ;) | 10:03 |
| wind0pain | np | 10:03 |
| Gnea | mobi-sheep: I'm pretty sure that he's just a paranoid day-trader ;) | 10:03 |
| infinityxi | wind0pain: how did you find out my hiding spot!?! | 10:03 |
| tanveer | yse nothing happens | 10:03 |
| * wind0pain goes back to installing his shiznit | 10:03 | |
| wind0pain | infinityxi: all your linux virus now belong to us | 10:03 |
| whatvn | tanveer: so gimpshop was installed | 10:03 |
| Slart | tanveer: hmm.. hang on.. let me install gimpshop on my machine here.. and see what happens | 10:03 |
| Gnea | SiDi: nah, he's looking for help for securing his Ubuntu, the discussion remains relevent and others could benefit from it. | 10:04 |
| tanveer | i installed the .deb package | 10:04 |
| tanveer | i installed it frmo my dosumntes | 10:04 |
| tanveer | documents | 10:04 |
| whatvn | did it say successful? | 10:04 |

| ariqs | I want ubuntu to automtically shut down at a certain time. what's the easiest/fastest way to go about it? | 10:04 |
| Kalmi | NewApples, the Ubuntu installer lets you set up encrypted partitions very easily.... | 10:05 |
| Kalmi | ariqs, cron | 10:05 |
| tanveer | slart: does it comeup in the applications menu for you? | 10:05 |
| Slart | ariqs: cron, with some "shutdown -h now" | 10:05 |
| Slart | tanveer: I haven't downloaded it yet | 10:05 |
| Gnea | !cron | ariqs | 10:05 |
| ubottu | ariqs: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 10:05 |
| whatvn | tanveer: give me one minute | 10:05 |
| NewApples | Kalmi someone could theoretically recover something | 10:05 |
| ariqs | how and where do I use that? | 10:05 |
| mobi-sheep | ariqs: sudo shutdown -h 04:10 (According to time). | 10:05 |
| NewApples | wind=pain if you know what you are doing there is no risk in the market, only wankers lose money | 10:06 |
| hellues | hey | 10:06 |
| Slart | tanveer: hmm.. no ubuntu package available.. did you install from source? | 10:06 |
| Kalmi | NewApples, how? do you have something to back that up? | 10:06 |
| Gnea | NewApples: if you want to properly destroy data, then DBAN is what you want - but your Swedish, so be careful with some of the methods | 10:06 |
| Slart | !ot | NewApples | 10:06 |
| ariqs | ah, thanks, mobi-sheep. Does it use military time or what? | 10:06 |
| ubottu | NewApples: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 10:06 |
| tanveer | i installed from .deb pacakge | 10:06 |
| mobi-sheep | ariqs: Yes. | 10:06 |
| hellues | writing program with stochastic local search is using "back tracking" | 10:06 |
| hellues | ? | 10:06 |
| Slart | tanveer: where did you get the deb package? | 10:06 |
| NewApples | Kalmi i can only back it up with there are people out there who are criminals and work very hard to steal from people | 10:06 |
| hellues | sorru wrong channel | 10:06 |
| hellues | :D | 10:07 |
| Gnea | NewApples: you might want to ask in #security and #linux as well | 10:07 |

| default_555 | Hi. is there a solution to this bug for jaunty? the workaround doesnt wok for ubuntu 9.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/85014 | 10:07 |
| mobi-sheep | ariqs: You should run the command to ensure that it does work. Then add it to cron | 10:07 |
| mobi-sheep | !cron | ariqs | 10:07 |
| ubottu | ariqs: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 10:07 |
| tanveer | someone do vnc with me and get it installed please? | 10:08 |
| Kalmi | ariqs, shutdown has to run as root... so make sure you put "shutdown -h 0" in root's crontab and not yours | 10:08 |

| ManDay | where can i set how many desktops i have? | 11:09 |
| fds_ | hi | 11:09 |
| Slart | ManDay: are you using desktop effects? | 11:11 |
| ManDay | medium slart | 11:11 |
| Slart | !ccsm | ManDay | 11:11 |
| ubottu | ManDay: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 11:11 |
| Slart | ManDay: install that package.. compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:11 |
| ManDay | thouht so | 11:11 |
| ManDay | thanks | 11:11 |
| ManDay | any idea regarding hal and touchpad vs mouse? | 11:12 |
| Slart | ManDay: then there is a setting in the "general" tab for number of horizontal desktops, vertical desktops and such | 11:12 |
| Slart | no idea, sorry | 11:12 |
| ManDay | ok thanks | 11:12 |
| ManDay | slart, i could set the number of desktops without installing compiz-mng by putting a desktop switcher in my panel | 11:13 |
| ManDay | but is there a way of chaning the desktop number without putting that object into my panel first? | 11:13 |
| Slart | ManDay: it's possible.. but there are two "numbers of desktops settings".. one for compiz and one for not running compiz | 11:14 |
| Slart | ManDay: make sure you find something that sets the right one | 11:14 |
| ManDay | where can i set it for not running compiz? | 11:14 |
| ManDay | (besides the workspace switcher in the panel | 11:14 |
| ManDay | ) | 11:14 |
| Slart | ManDay: I'm not really sure.. it's been too long since I used that | 11:14 |
| ManDay | ok.ima get compiz then | 11:15 |
| ManDay | thank you again | 11:15 |

| wildc4rd | is there a sparc compatible ubuntu? | 11:15 |
| Slart | wildc4rd: I don't think so | 11:15 |
| Slart | !sparc | 11:15 |
| ubottu | Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki. | 11:15 |
| clearscreen | ManDay: you might want to get compizconfig-settings-manager, that'll allow you to rip out pretty much any unwanted functionality | 11:15 |
| ManDay | yes | 11:16 |
| wildc4rd | The requested URL /ubuntu/install/sparc/ was not found on this server. | 11:16 |
| wildc4rd | guess thats a no then, lol | 11:16 |
| clearscreen | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/ < installer-sparc used to be in that directory, seems to be gone now though | 11:18 |
| clearscreen | as linked to by this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/sparc/downloading-files.html | 11:18 |
| ManDay | ok got it, Slart, clearscreen - am i right that this is only a gui for editing the configs and does not actually come with any new funcs? | 11:18 |
| Slart | wildc4rd: here's another page.. this one actually works =) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Sparc | 11:19 |

| ManDay | Well I need another solution: There are some windows (like, for example, the window of the compiz-mgm) which cant be resized or do at least have a minimal size to which they cant be scaled below. Is there a way of force-disabling this minimal size so i can shrink windows as I wish (i need to because my netbook screen is so little - (i know there is UNR))?! | 11:32 |
| Slart | ManDay: there are some shortcuts for zooming a window in and out.. but I'm not sure if you can still interact with it | 11:33 |
| ManDay | well i dont want the whole window to "zoom". i just want to resize it (content still original size - although it may break within a too-small window) | 11:34 |
| Slart | ManDay: also, you can use Alt+Left mousebutton to move windows around when you don't actually see the top window bar | 11:34 |
| ManDay | very helpful tip, thanks | 11:34 |
| Slart | ManDay: I don't know how to do that.. sounds like it might be possible to override something like minimum window size but it might break the application I suppose | 11:35 |
| === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam | ||
| ManDay | i think so too. but sometimes i have the feeling that the imposed minimal size is just for cosmetical reasons which are not essential to functionailty | 11:35 |

| ManDay | things are getting a little confusing. in the window-selector i have set "show windows from current workspace only" but it still displays tabs for windows from all workspaces | 11:40 |

| === TDK is now known as Zer0 | ||
| Slart | ManDay: which plugin are you using? the "static application switcher" ? | 11:43 |
| ManDay | errm | 11:43 |
| ManDay | no idea the one that is offered in the "add to panel..." dialog | 11:43 |
| ManDay | its called "window switcher" | 11:44 |
| Slart | ManDay: window selector? | 11:44 |
| Slart | ManDay: or window list? | 11:44 |
| ManDay | window list - my bad | 11:44 |
| Slart | ManDay: hmm.. odd.. it works here.. I only get the windows from the current workspace | 11:45 |
| ManDay | jeeeez christ | 11:45 |
| ManDay | thats becoming one big mess | 11:45 |
| ManDay | i think gnome and compiz are somewhat incompatible as for what they consider "desktops" and "workspaces" | 11:46 |
| Slart | ManDay: indeed.. but it's getting better (if that's any consolation) | 11:47 |

| === Guest31144 is now known as Psykus | ||

| Slart | painted: it's probably in your home folder.. not files/folders starting with a dot is hidden by default.. ctrl+h in nautilus to show them | 11:50 |
| ManDay | all right im sorry but i need your help again | 11:50 |
| Slart | ManDay: go ahead | 11:50 |
| painted | nope, not there, slart :( | 11:51 |
| ManDay | i enabled all the desktop things but i just cant get it running. i set up some shortcuts but using them does nothing. for instance: desktop cube - initiate: ctrl+alt+button1 - but pressing it and nothing happens | 11:51 |
| kryle | Psykus: try insert windows cd and repair ? | 11:51 |
| Psykus | yeah tried using the repair console for fixmbr, fixboot, all that good stuff | 11:52 |
| Slart | painted: hmm.. I haven't got a pidgin folder either.. are you sure there is supposed to be one? | 11:52 |
| Slart | ManDay: you enabled the plugin? and you are running the desktop effects? | 11:52 |
| painted | no, slart | 11:53 |
| shadeslayer | Psykus: so maybe you have a bad partition table | 11:53 |
| ManDay | what you mean= | 11:53 |
| Shortguy109 | How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? | 11:53 |
| ManDay | oh yes i enabled desktop effects on medium | 11:53 |
| shadeslayer | ManDay: in ccsm | 11:53 |
| kryle | Psykus: weard, hmm, this might not be helpful, but.. skip the windows part, install linux only, and run windows in virtualbox, you will have no problems xD | 11:53 |
| ManDay | anyway: i got the expo part to run | 11:53 |
| shadeslayer | kryle: hehe | 11:53 |
| ManDay | but still my window list shows windows from all workspaces | 11:54 |
| Psykus | kryle: upon further reading I found that error might be caused by the windows partition not being set as active/boot, so I checked around and used gparted to mark it as boot, and now it just sits there with a blinking _, so progress i guess! | 11:54 |
| ManDay | which is confusing | 11:54 |
| Slart | ManDay: I mean, is the cube plugin activated in the compizconfig-settings-manager? you can enable/disable plugins.. there's a checkbox on the left side or near the plugin name | 11:54 |
| Psykus | going to hop back into the XP CD now | 11:54 |
| ManDay | yes enabled | 11:54 |
| painted | what's the command to completely remove files including the settings | 11:54 |

| Slart | ManDay: that is Ubuntu Jaunty alright | 11:55 |
| Psykus | yeah, I *just* finished reinstalling XP so I want to avoid that :\ | 11:56 |
| Psykus | because windows 7 broke it somehow | 11:56 |
| Slart | ManDay: then I don't really know why it doesn't work for you.. I've never had any problems with shortcuts in compiz not doing their job.. | 11:56 |
| Psykus | bah windows | 11:56 |
| Shortguy109 | How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? | 11:56 |

| bloupotlood | Slart: cool man, how do you go abouts doing that in FTP? | 12:23 |
| Slart | bloupotlood: install an ftp-server on one machine.. and a client on the other | 12:24 |
| ozzmosis | rsync -av user@remotehost:/folder/ localfolder/ | 12:24 |
| bloupotlood | let me try | 12:24 |
| bloupotlood | take note: i cant install anything due to a 3g incompatibilty with ubuntu 9.04 | 12:24 |
| ozzmosis | ftp is generally less secure | 12:24 |
| Slart | bloupotlood: rsync is a nice choice too.. might be better than ftp | 12:24 |
| royalwarecast | justsee: what you mentioned is that they look down on those are not fedora / centos , and you are familiar with debain , so just do what you want since they are others | 12:24 |
| bloupotlood | let me check it out. | 12:24 |
| ozzmosis | rsync will work over ssh | 12:24 |
| bloupotlood | Slart: sweet dude. | 12:24 |

| bloupotlood | Slart: ok, say my laptop is 192.168.1.100, and my desktop is 192.168.1.101, how would i rsync files from the laptop to the desktop? | 12:26 |
| Slart | bloupotlood: see ozzmosis answer.. exchange remotehost for 192.168.1.101 and run the command on 192.168.1.100 | 12:27 |

| tonytraductor | Matic no, no conflict between the jre and the jdk | 13:36 |

| cemunal | what is name of default cursor theme package's name? | 13:44 |
| jherskow | what is startup manager? | 13:44 |
| cherva | lord_hypnos: just installing phonon-backend-xine fixed it or you followed my post (Dimitar Krasimirov Boichev) | 13:44 |
| vasy | fireman: sudo apt-get install startupmanager | 13:44 |
| Psykus | anyone? | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !info startupmanager | 13:45 |
| jherskow | do i put that in the terminal? | 13:45 |
| ubottu | startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.12-1 (jaunty), package size 95 kB, installed size 1072 kB | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jherskow: yes. time to learn the basics of command line package manager. :) | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | 13:45 |
| 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) | 13:45 |
| desafinado | hello, i want to install pulseaudio and i found the tutorial here https://wiki.kubuntu.org/PulseAudio. can i use this tutorial for ubuntu jaunty? 'cause the tutorial example is for ubuntu 7. | 13:45 |
| lord_hypnos | cherva, tried the other solution (reinstalling phonon-backend-xine etc) earlier.. didnt work. it was your post and the file that you linked to that helped me | 13:46 |
| compengi | xukun, "sudo alsamixer" and make sure you have the input and output channels open | 13:46 |
| jherskow | need help: transmission (v1.51) is not working. it says there are no peers at all when thereare many. i just stared using ubuntu a week ago. i reinstalled but to no avail. anyone? | 13:46 |
| fireman | vasy: i have a theme with .tar.gz but i cant apply it on startup manager | 13:46 |

| nmvictor | any one know how to use ffmpeg to convert .DAT file to ogm? | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | nmvictor: dat from a video camcorder? I recall doing that with either winff/mencoder/or ffmpeg once.. ages ago... | 13:48 |
| desafinado | Dr_Willis : ahh okay, then how to use pulseaudio instead of intel ICH7? | 13:48 |
| cherva | lord_hypnos: ok :) | 13:48 |
| jherskow | can anyone help me with transmisson??? | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | desafinado: I think thers some confusion going on. Its not 'pulse audio instead of intel ich7' YOur sound card uses drivers,, those use the alsa system,,, alsa uses pulseaudio. | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | I think i got that right. :) | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Hardware -> kernel drivers -> alsa -> pulse -> You Hear Muzak | 13:49 |
| nmvictor | Dr_Willis: well its .DAT files i got from a VCD.i have mencoder and ffmpeg packages installed.Using them to achieve my goal is the problem,any ideas? | 13:49 |

| desafinado | Dr_Willis : LOL. okay thanks for lighting me up | 13:50 |
| zagabar | Yo! | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | nmvictor: check the faqs for mencoder and ffmpeg and the forunms. normally you can find example command lines for most any task | 13:50 |
| vasy | fireman: then you can see it in your login manager | 13:50 |

| compengi | xukun, do you see "headphone" and "mic boost" bars? | 13:53 |
| zagabar | station6: but you can use it as a webcam. Shouldn't simple pics be possible? | 13:53 |
| vasy | compengi: but my home .themes folders are empty | 13:53 |
| compengi | vasy, they are installed there by gnome, but any other themes should be installed in .themes folder and icons to .icons, else it won't work | 13:53 |
| jherskow | is anyone willing to help me out? | 13:54 |
| nmvictor | Dr_Willis:i have done so,my biggest problem is that im not familiar with some details about my files,so when i try encoding i get error messages that maybe i didnt specify the right options,bitrate and frame rate such stuff | 13:54 |

| vasy | compengi: do you have solution for mic not working on jaunty. | 13:55 |
| compengi | vasy, check if mic is muted in alsamixer | 13:55 |
| xukun | compengi, I see 'Mic' and after that comes 'Mic Boos' but no headphone | 13:55 |
| vasy | I checked.. everything was full.. but only in gui its always muted.. | 13:55 |
| zagabar | mic boose | 13:56 |
| Dr_Willis | nmvictor: Yep. It pays to toy with the things and experiment. | 13:56 |
| vasy | compengi: I checked via alsamixer everything was full. but in gui its always muted | 13:56 |
| Dr_Willis | nmvictor: or cheat and try a front end like winff | 13:56 |
| compengi | vasy, unmute them? | 13:56 |

| jherskow | whatever happend to the great supportive commutity | 13:57 |

| xukun | compengi, no it does not look it's muted | 13:59 |
| cemunal | what is name of default cursor theme package's name? | 13:59 |
| jherskow | what does that mean? | 13:59 |
| jherskow | and internet router for the home? yes. | 13:59 |

| zagabar | Do you know how to open it? | 14:02 |
| jherskow | no | 14:02 |
| jherskow | how do i? | 14:02 |

| sekyourbox | ozzmosis, workaround or fix?? | 14:06 |
| TheBrayn | howdy folks | 14:06 |
| ozzmosis | sekyourbox: for youtube there's a program called youtube-dl .. download in .flv or .mp4 then watch with mplayer/totem etc | 14:06 |
| ozzmosis | sekyourbox: there are FOSS flash players but I don't know if they're any good for Hulu | 14:07 |
| ozzmosis | I suspect not | 14:07 |
| p-f | is there a text/code editor that easily supports "make a backup of the current file so I can quickly test a modification that may or may not work properly"? | 14:07 |

| vock | Hello all: I'm trying to copy from a (laptop) remote session onto my desktop at home, I can SSH in perfectly fine, but Nautilus is saying that I don't have permissions to any of my HDD, other than Home, while on the desktop at home, I know for sure I have permissions to all of them as the same user | 14:12 |
| tonytraductor | first, what browser are you using to log into google? and what happens when you try? | 14:13 |
| vasy | compengi: I dont find any line like that... | 14:13 |
| xukun | compengi, nothing is also muted in volume controller | 14:13 |
| compengi | vasy, pastebin the whole file please. | 14:13 |
| AdanGurri | I'm using Firefox. And since the updates, it just doesn't load anything when I click "sign in". there's no response at all | 14:14 |

| tonytraductor | no errors? that's weird | 14:14 |
| AdanGurri | no...it behaves as though the submit button isn't a link at all or something | 14:14 |

| cherva | instance dbus owns the service but when I go back dbus fails to get it rigth and X crashes ........ | 14:14 |
| tonytraductor | huh...I wonder if there is a problem at the google end | 14:15 |
| vasy | compengi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174296/ | 14:15 |
| tonytraductor | what happens if you go directly to, say, http://gmail.google.com ? | 14:15 |
| tonytraductor | still asking you to sign in? | 14:15 |
| compengi | vasy, that's all? | 14:15 |
| AdanGurri | yeah it is | 14:15 |
| vasy | compengi: yeah it is.. | 14:15 |
| tonytraductor | and from there it does the same thing, I assume | 14:16 |
| tonytraductor | that IS weird | 14:16 |
| deany | vock, using nautilus to ssh? tried scp in a shell? | 14:16 |
| tonytraductor | have you tried with another browser? like seamonkey or epiphany or something? | 14:16 |
| AdanGurri | It could be Google-side, but there are other things that suggest Firefox has been affected; I had a lot of bookmarks on the bookmark bar and they've all vanished, for instance | 14:16 |
| tonytraductor | yeah, that sounds like ff got hosed somehow | 14:16 |
| AdanGurri | I don't have another browser installed unfortunately= | 14:16 |
| tonytraductor | apt-get install seamonkey or something | 14:17 |
| compengi | vasy, add: alsactl_store_on_shutdown="always autosave" after force_unload_modules_before_suspend="" | 14:17 |
| AdanGurri | k, one sec | 14:17 |
| tonytraductor | just to see if you can get in...that way we know it's FF and not google | 14:17 |
| AdanGurri | ok will do | 14:17 |
| tonytraductor | although, from what you say, I believe it is FF | 14:17 |
| vock | deany: I suck at the syntax, I think, I tried "scp /media/usbkey [[vick]@192.168.0.100] /media/Local" and it told me "cp:omitting directory '/media/usbkey' | 14:17 |
| tonytraductor | did you try to apt-get install -f firefox to reinstall it? | 14:17 |
| AdanGurri | I didn't, actually. Maybe I'll do that | 14:18 |
| deany | vock, man scp :) | 14:18 |
| vasy | compengi: added | 14:18 |
| tonytraductor | try that first | 14:18 |
| compengi | save and exit | 14:18 |

| ubottu | bernz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 14:58 |
| nibsa1242b | bernz: do you have a separate /home partition, sorry brain isn't entirely awake yet | 14:59 |
| bernz | nibsa1242b, hehehe, i think i see where you're going with that... :-) let me go see, it's on a laptop, and i use it less, mostly because it's half-working :-D | 14:59 |
| SandGorgon | nibsa1242b, mounting simply meant clicking on it right - the same way my windows partitions are mounted on ubuntu... or should i explcitly 'mkdir mntpoint; mount -t vfat mntpoint /dev/something' ? | 14:59 |
| dam0 | im running a Dell inspiron 9600 and i have a pc/hardware problem, my pc screen somtimes flash`s, what can i do? | 14:59 |
| dam0 | 9400:P | 15:00 |
| nibsa1242b | bernz: if you have a separate /home partition, you can just do a clean install and tell it to keep your /home and you would generally be fine | 15:00 |
| danielig | dam0: please don't repeat yourself, if someone has an answer it will be given to you. | 15:01 |
| nibsa1242b | SandGorgon: I find if it doesn't mount automatically that it'll show up in Places->removable media and that clicking on it will mount it | 15:01 |
| danielig | btw it happens to my screen, too | 15:01 |
| danielig | i have a lenovo 3000 N100 | 15:01 |
| danielig | btw. this is not a hardware problem but a software problem (ubuntu;-) ) | 15:02 |
| scunizi | danielig: could it be the non-audio clue that something has ended or similar? | 15:02 |
| danielig | if it was a hardware problem dam0 then you were in the wrong place, you should buy a new computer | 15:02 |
| dam0 | danielig: this pc is only 1 year old | 15:03 |
| bernz | nibsa1242b, okay, looks like i just have '/' and everything "under" it lumped into a single partition... so... bootable gparted live CD, move /home contents onto a new partition (after resizing '/'), then re-install over old '/', yeah? | 15:03 |
| _chun | When the window list is set to "only group windows when space is limited", is it possible to change the threshold (i.e. number of windows) that counts as 'limited'? | 15:04 |
| nibsa1242b | bernz: I've never done it that way, but I think that should work. You may want to consider a separate /boot as well. | 15:05 |
| clearscreen1 | is it possible to share a wireless connection on my linux box with another windows box when they are also in the same LAN over ethernet? (aka: can I do it without a direct link -> without a crosscable?) | 15:05 |
| bernz | nibsa1242b, oh yeah, i already have 'boot' on its own, forgot to mention... it's a dual-boot for windows (i use the laptop in windows mode most of the time for work reasons) | 15:06 |
| danielig | scunizi, dam0, I think that this problem has to do with energy saving, something with the settings in the energy management helped a little, it is like the screen dims after a very short time and when I touch the mouse or keyboard it flashes up to normal brightness, but it doesn't actually dim, it is weird, however it is associated with idle time and uyer action | 15:06 |
| danielig | s/this problem/my problem | 15:06 |
| bernz | nibsa1242b, are there any alternatives that you have in mind, or? | 15:06 |
| nibsa1242b | bernz: no, but I would back up anything important out of /home first | 15:06 |

I need to enable eth0 for connection sharing through firestarter, but I want to keep wlan0 for internet.. how do I do that? | 15:19 |

| mne | Hi. I have a thinkpad x61 with ubuntu intrepid on it. Since I upgraded to a newer kernel, I can no longer use most use devices (storage devices work but devices like mice, keyboards, serial-port-dongles DO not work). The devices do not even show up when issuing "lsusb". It just displays the root hub. For me this renders my system unusable for development work ! Is this a serious bug in ubuntu ? | 15:20 |
| paco | and i having some problems because Xorg eats all the cpu | 15:20 |
| paco | :S | 15:20 |
| coz_ | paco, i think you can do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to generate a new one | 15:20 |
| coz_ | paco, mm high cpu ! | 15:20 |

| Raynes | Okay, there is a package that I cannot remove, this is fine. My problem is that it keeps trying to configure it everytime I try to install a different package, this makes it error. Every single package I try to install errors at the end because it's trying to configure libghc6-glib-dev, and cannot. Is there anyway I can at least stop it from trying to configure this package when I install... | 15:21 |
| Raynes | ...another package. Or can I remove this package manually? | 15:21 |
| clearscreen | sacarlson: yes | 15:21 |
| paco | ok i created a new one | 15:21 |
| clearscreen | but when eth0 isnt configured through network control tools, firestarter will whine about eth0 not being activate | 15:21 |

| Raynes | chuck_ Synaptic | 15:21 |
| clearscreen | when I activate it, I lose internet because it switches to eth0 instead of wlan0 | 15:21 |
| hacktolive | Raynes: maybe dpkg will work... but it might break your system (I don't know the syntax) | 15:22 |

| inx-live | ziroday: thanks for the advice - off to do lots of research | 15:49 |
| ziroday | inx-live: okay, the simple answer is that there is no easy to protect yourself. You can either create a tunnel to another machine, and then onwards to wherever and nobody can read that tunnel, or you can use an encrypted connection to the website | 15:49 |

| wowisit112 | hey guys, i'm really interested in using Ubuntu, but i'm having hard time installing it on an EXTERNAL HD. | 16:04 |
| wowisit112 | ne1 can help | 16:04 |
| MidasManchu | stefano, I wouldn't recommend you use HTOP for that. I believe it shows all threads of a process as well. Just do a regular top and see what comes up | 16:04 |
| === devils is now known as [DeViL_KiLLs} | ||
| === [DeViL_KiLLs} is now known as [DeViL_KiLLs] | ||
| stefano | MidasManchu, oh, you're absolutely right - top shows only one each - nevertheless my computer is very unusually sluggish. but now there isn't an obvious symptom | 16:05 |
| wowisit112 | no one has any idea on how to install ubuntu on an external HD??? | 16:06 |
| kpas | stefano: is your remote desktop app enabled | 16:06 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: yes, just install it to the external disk | 16:06 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: make sure grub is also put on the external disk IF you plan to move the disk around | 16:06 |
| MidasManchu | stefano, try 'free -m' and see what does it says for the +/- buffer cache | 16:06 |
| stefano | kpas, nothing of the sort. yesterday, everything was fine. i just woke up and my computer was unusable - now that i rebooted it still is, less so | 16:07 |
| wowisit112 | lol! that's not easy to do, when i run the CD & get to part where i must chose a partition, the Ext. HD is not there!!! | 16:08 |
| stefano | MidasManchu, it says 373 used, 1632 free | 16:08 |
| MidasManchu | stefano, so no page swapping | 16:08 |
| MidasManchu | stefano, what are the symptoms of poor performance? | 16:08 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: your external hardisk is not present in the installer even if you select "custom" as the partition type ? | 16:09 |
| wowisit112 | yea! i checked "advance" where you get to chose the partition, file system type & space... | 16:10 |
| stefano | MidasManchu, i don't even have a swap partition (never had one for years, worked great until just now). The system feels sluggish, load was 4.5 after booting, is now still 1.8. As i said, Xorg seems to be a major hog, but all applications use more cpu than usually | 16:10 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: how is your external disk connected ? | 16:11 |
| stefano | MidasManchu, disabling compiz didn't help (i thought because i haven't got the fastest graphics card in the world) | 16:11 |
| gandziak_ | yo | 16:11 |
| pw-toxic | !fstab | 16:11 |
| 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 | 16:11 |

| wowisit112 | the ext. hd is 750gb, i partitioned it in half, so one half is NTFS(has files in it already) and the other is unallocated..usb and it's powered.. | 16:12 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: how is it connected though | 16:12 |
| ikonia | ahh usb, sorry | 16:12 |
| wowisit112 | yeah! | 16:12 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: so if you boot into your windows partition, do you see the disk ? | 16:12 |
| wowisit112 | yeah! | 16:13 |
| MidasManchu | stefano, I have no clue. I've never heard of this bug on a nix machine. | 16:13 |
| wowisit112 | in the boot menu right? | 16:13 |
| stefano | MidasManchu, my word - the problem was my igonrance - i've had cpu-frequency-scaling going | 16:13 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: no - if you boot into windows do you see the disk with all the files on it ? | 16:13 |
| kklitgaard | join | 16:14 |
| stefano | MidasManchu, my cpu was clocking itself down in 'conservative' mode, i just overlooked it :| thanks for your time, sorry it was wasted | 16:14 |
| wowisit112 | ma bad! yes. | 16:14 |
| MidasManchu | stefano, don't sweat it. We all do it ;) | 16:14 |
| armence | Hello all, I just got a new computer, installed Ubuntu on it. It works great except when I try to activate the nVidia drivers. It gives me the "download" window and stays at 0% forever... Can anyone help? | 16:14 |
| wowisit112 | but that's the half i want to use for storage only. | 16:14 |
| wowisit112 | i'm running VISTA btw. | 16:15 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: thats ok, just trying to determain the state of things | 16:15 |

| wowisit112 | right now??? | 16:18 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: well, when ever you are ready | 16:19 |
| wowisit112 | lol! always, doesn't that require me to restart the PC?? | 16:19 |
| webpigeon | Hey everyone :), Any ideas about a a graphics card (intel) which used to work in 8.10 but won't enable with compiz in 9.04 | 16:19 |
| wowisit112 | how are we going to communicate? | 16:19 |
| Sergeant_Pony | module000 how can I do that if I don't know what to look for? | 16:19 |
| harwin | hello | 16:20 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: you can open irc on the ubuntu livecd | 16:20 |
| raboof | i'm helping someone with ubuntu, and i'd like to point him to the documentation for 'groups' (as in /etc/group) in ubuntu | 16:20 |
| raboof | what would be the 'canonical' docs? | 16:20 |
| prappl93 | I have a question, I was running "sudo apt-get update" and this came up http://paste.ubuntu.com/174371/ | 16:21 |
| wowisit112 | so you want me to run it on the option "...without any changes to my PC..) | 16:21 |
| prappl93 | After doing an "su" then an "apt-get update" the same thing came up | 16:21 |
| MidasManchu | anyone know how to fix cpu scaling with 2.6.27-9? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | wowisit112: boot from the livecd, open xchat or an irc client and lets see if this will work | 16:21 |
| indian_munnda | webpigeon: are u having problm with login into GUI? | 16:22 |
| mib_rex4dd | sergeant_pony: can you select your mic to be the input source in the volume control applet? | 16:22 |
| wowisit112 | ok, btw, are you a male or female? | 16:22 |
| webpigeon | indian_munnda, na, just trying to enable compiz (desktop-effects), but it's worked in the past | 16:23 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, let me check | 16:23 |
| mzz | hmm, I wonder if there's a way to mount my local filesystem on the remote host when I'm sshd in there (like sshfs-fuse but with the connection backwards) | 16:23 |
| indian_munnda | webpigeon: oh | 16:23 |
| Dimensions | Hiya ... can some one please give me some idea ... I have created a database with fields name, email, product, quantity etc while on php page i have multiple items how do i insert that into database (i.e WhiteShirt, small, 1& BlackShirt, medium, 2 etc) when i click submit | 16:24 |
| sacarlson | prappl93: it's just the authentication key is missing. you can ignore it or install the key. it looks like the launch pad where you got it will have instructions on how to load it. | 16:24 |
| stefano | mzz, you can do exactly what you'd do the other way round, just via ssh - doesn't make any difference | 16:24 |
| wowisit112 | oh well! thanks "iknonia" i'm gonna restart it now. | 16:24 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, under volume control, recording the 2 mic's listed are muted, if I unmute them I still get no mic working | 16:24 |
| mzz | stefano: yes, but I can't ssh into my local system from the remote without punching holes in the local firewall, which I'd prefer to avoid (it's not my firewall) | 16:25 |
| Dimensions | sorry wrong place wrong question .. | 16:25 |
| lukasz | hello | 16:25 |
| mib_rex4dd | Sergeant_Pony: do you have everything in the volume control visible (goto preferences and set all visible) | 16:25 |
| prappl93 | sacarlson, how would I go about installing the key? | 16:25 |
| stefano | mzz, you'd need a hole in the firewall for the persistent ssh connection anyways wouldn't you? could use a port that's already open - granted that wouldn't be too elegant | 16:26 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, yes, everything is visible | 16:26 |
| lukasz | i have some problems with sound in skype | 16:26 |
| sacarlson | prappl93: I don't know where you got the launch pad from but that's the address that will have it. | 16:26 |
| mzz | stefano: no need to have this be persistent | 16:26 |
| mib_rex4dd | Sergeant_Pony: check if any option is called "input source" or if any switch has the microphone disabled or something | 16:26 |
| fedel | Does someone here has the laptop HP dv6000? I have been having a problem with my microphone | 16:27 |
| lukasz | Czy jest na czacie ktos z Polski?? | 16:27 |

| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, there are 5 tabs, playback, recording, switches, options and theme | 16:27 |
| Jinxed553 | Hi, i installed the restricted drivers for my video card that was suggested when I went to hardware devices, and now I am unable to boot into my ubuntu partition. It seems like it is starting normally and then it will go to a screen with some weird characters on top and like three ubuntu small loading logos and loading bars spaced horizontally across the scn | 16:28 |
| stefano | jondgls, you should just ask the question directly and completely - if someone has the answer they'll say so | 16:28 |
| ikonia | Jinxed553: please see your message in #ubuntu-ops | 16:28 |
| askvictor1 | when I resume from suspend, the screen is locked with a password request. I'd like to disable this. Where? | 16:28 |
| stefano | mzz, i see your problem, but i don't think there's a way round it - you'd have to have a hole in your firewall to do this | 16:28 |
| jondgls | stefano: np | 16:28 |
| mib_rex4dd | Sergeant_Pony: unmute everything in playback and recording, then check in "switches" and "options" that your input source is the microphone and that it isn't somehow disabled | 16:28 |
| mzz | stefano: heh, the sshfs faq mentions one way around this: tunnel port 22 on the system that's behind nat through the established ssh connection. | 16:28 |
| ikonia | Jinxed553: mega, thanks | 16:28 |
| mzz | stefano: that'll actually work, although it's a little clunky tunnelling ssh through ssh :) | 16:29 |
| mib_rex4dd | Sergeant_Pony: also, set the volume for microphone to more than 0, and "microphone gain" too | 16:29 |
| Jinxed553 | ikonia: I left the room (thank you for your help again) | 16:29 |
| stefano | mzz, that's very clever though :) | 16:29 |
| jondgls | in irc deamon Konversation is there a leyboard/mouse shortcut to auto insert a nick into the text for a msg directed @ them, ie "nick:" | 16:30 |
| merlinn__ | i installed ubuntu to my thumb drive last night and understandably it's a little slow. can anyone suggest some tweaks i could try that might speed it up? | 16:30 |
| k110 | hello | 16:30 |
| jondgls | merlin__:are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 16:30 |
| mzz | stefano: there are utilities around that sort of fix this for regular shell: they basically sit on one system waiting for a connection, the remote establishes the connection, after which the local system gives a regular shell | 16:30 |
| merlinn__ | 32-bit | 16:30 |
| mgolisch | /ignore joins -freenode ljrbot | 16:30 |
| stefano | jondgls, try typing the first letters of the name and pressing tab | 16:30 |
| mgolisch | ups | 16:30 |
| merlinn__ | i chose ext2 because of it's lack of journaling. i figured teh constant writes to the journal would kill my thumb drive in no time | 16:31 |
| mzz | stefano: so as long as you have some non-ssh way to get the remote to connect you can "ssh into" systems behind nat this way. Can be useful for supporting people who are behind one without punching holes. | 16:31 |
| jondgls | stefano: cool! Thanks! | 16:31 |
| merlinn__ | i also mounted a tmpfs and have firefox saving its cache to that instead of a regular tmp directory | 16:31 |
| mzz | stefano: but meh, I'll just use sftp. | 16:31 |
| jondgls | merlinn__: are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 16:31 |
| mzz | merlinn__: something you might be interested in: it's possible to run ext4 without a journal | 16:32 |
| fedel | Hi everybody....Could somone help with a microphone problem?? I have a laptop HP model dv6000. My microphone don't work. There is not the option "MIc Boost" in alsamixer for example | 16:32 |
| Jinxed553 | Has anyone experienced any problems with restricted drivers for video cards? Is there a way just to turn off my restricted drivers? | 16:32 |
| Xarver | Hello, I have a question. I installed YouTotem and it still does not play youtube videos with totem. I tried blocking swf with adblock plus and still won't work. I installed all of the plugins... help? | 16:32 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, ok, it is working, but there is alot of static so it's hard to make out the voice coming thru | 16:32 |
| mzz | merlinn__: (you can mount an ext2 filesystem as ext4, and you can use the "convert ext3 to ext4" instructions to add extents) | 16:32 |
| Severity1 | !ati | 16:33 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 16:33 |
| mib_rex4dd | Sergeant_Pony: static? hmm ok, lower the "mic boost" a little | 16:33 |
| mzz | merlinn__: please stay on the channel, and yes, that's the idea (on one particular benchmark ext4 without journal was faster than both ext3 and ext2, which was why the patch for this went in, iirc) | 16:34 |
| mib_rex4dd | Sergeant_Pony: if the problem is background noise you can "erase" the noise with an Audacity plugin called "noise removal" | 16:34 |
| merlinn__ | @mzz thanks, ill hang out for a bit | 16:34 |
| Jinxed553 | Severity1: I went to that page ealier today and didn't find anything that helped me (or wasn't smart ennough to realize that it helped me) | 16:34 |
| mzz | merlinn__: I meant that as "don't /msg me if you don't really have to" | 16:35 |
| Xarver | anyone? | 16:35 |
| merlinn__ | apologies, i'm an irc noob :) | 16:35 |
| briancro` | It's nice to keep the questions in here so other people benifit from the answers | 16:35 |
| briancro` | I will idle in here and learn things I didn't know to ask | 16:36 |
| Xarver | No one can help me? | 16:36 |

| Xarver | :( | 16:36 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, ok, were getting there, I need to find the right balance between the mic and the mic boost | 16:36 |
| merlinn__ | ill keep that in mind. how do i direct responses to someone without /msg? | 16:36 |
| briancro` | Xarver: I missed it, what was your issue? | 16:36 |
| Xarver | Hello, I have a question. I installed YouTotem and it still does not play youtube videos with totem. I tried blocking swf with adblock plus and still won't work. I installed all of the plugins... help? | 16:36 |
| Xarver | :) | 16:36 |
| mzz | merlinn__: just say them in here, preferably including their nick (many clients let you tab-complete those) | 16:36 |
| briancro` | merlinn__: if you type thier name and then tab it will complete. That will highlight the answer for the person you meant to tell. Like I just did | 16:37 |
| mib_rex4dd | sergeant_pony: good to hear it somehow worked :) | 16:37 |
| mzz | merlinn__: many clients hilight messages starting with (or including) your own nick | 16:37 |
| merlinn__ | got it, thanks guys | 16:37 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, thanks | 16:37 |
| briancro` | I meant start typing thier name then tab... on my IRC at least... and most others, it will complete | 16:38 |

| dimedo | hi, can i somehow associate other programs to filenames which end in .xyz.zip than to those just ending in .zip? | 16:39 |
| Guest48753 | Is this the correct channel to ask about Thai input on a QWERTY keyboard? | 16:40 |
| dimedo | i'm talking about gnome and nautlius open with system | 16:40 |
| indian_munnda | webpigeon: oh | 16:40 |
| indian_munnda | hi all can anyone tell me how can i set my color scheme to 32-bit currently it 16-bit. But my virtualbox wants it to be 32-bit. how to change that? | 16:40 |
| briancro` | Xarver: I missed the question | 16:40 |
| Xarver | Hello, I have a question. I installed YouTotem and it still does not play youtube videos with totem. I tried blocking swf with adblock plus and still won't work. I installed all of the plugins... help? | 16:40 |
| Xarver | :P | 16:41 |
| mzz | indian_munnda: editing it in xorg.conf may be the way to go, although I'm a bit surprised by it defaulting to 16 | 16:41 |
| merlinn__ | Xarver: did you install restricted extras? | 16:41 |
| jrib | dimedo: no idea, but I would try to understand how the mimetype is being set for files ending in .zip (hint: freedesktop.org and the mime database on your computer) | 16:41 |
| indian_munnda | mzz: wat to do there | 16:41 |
| vass | Hey everyone. Can I use this channel for ubuntu support? | 16:41 |
| briancro` | Oh, so you want youtube vids to play externally in totem when you click on a youtube link? | 16:41 |
| vass | I have a little problem | 16:41 |
| ubuntu_ | it's <wowisit112>?? | 16:41 |
| Xarver | merlinn_: I don't know... How do I install ALL plugins for totem | 16:41 |
| mzz | indian_munnda: there should be a DefaultDepth in there somewhere, change that to 32. If there's no DefaultDepth I'd like to see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:41 |
| Xarver | briancro`: Yeah | 16:42 |
| Sergeant_Pony | mib_rex4dd, it is working, can't get rid of the background noice and it's a little distorted on playback | 16:42 |
| indian_munnda | mzz: dude there is nothing called defaultDepth | 16:42 |
| briancro` | Xarver: Im going to see if I can do it now... I never tried before. Why do you want this? | 16:42 |
| Xarver | briancro`: Youtube is kind of slow | 16:43 |
| merlinn__ | Xarver: i'm not sure if you can. in windows they have programs that "rip" the flash files from the site and then you can run that externally. i'm not sure if totem would support this natively or not | 16:43 |
| ubuntu_ | anyone knows how i can install ubuntu on ext. hd ?? | 16:43 |
| Xarver | merlinn__: Yes but I want it to run normally when I view any youtube video | 16:44 |
| mzz | ubuntu_: as long as you can oot off that hd: just like you'd install it on a regular hd | 16:44 |
| mzz | ubuntu_: just pay attention when you reach the partitioning step (make sure the partitions end up on the right drive) | 16:44 |
| mzz | s/oot off/boot off/ | 16:45 |
| luig1 | Hi. I accidentally ran a game in fullscreen mode, which ended up setting my resolution to something tiny, like 600x400 or something, so that when I left the game now my desktop doesn't seem to be running properly. (It's usually at 1440x 900 or something like that). How can I fix this from a bash prompt? | 16:45 |

| merlinn__ | Xarver: so wait: you want to watch youtube videos externally in totem? or you just want them to play at all. | 16:45 |

| mrwes | ubuntu_, does your BIOS support booting from a USB drive? | 16:46 |
| indian_munnda | mzz: dude there is nothing called defaultDepth | 16:46 |
| briancro` | PolitikerALT: brilliant! I thought he was spamming | 16:46 |
| ubuntu_ | it's there on the boot menu, so i dont see why not. | 16:46 |

| xukun | if I put this line "pcm.!default spdif" in my ~.asoundrc file then I have sound working but after reboot there is no sound anymore. Any idea? | 16:47 |

| Xarver | hi | 16:47 |
| wanna_learn_more | i want to try to configure kernel on 2.6.28 jaunty | 16:47 |
| mzz | xukun: hmm, I wonder if that interferes with ubuntu's pulse setup | 16:47 |
| wanna_learn_more | whats the first thing i must install.its the header/source or both of them? | 16:47 |
| ubuntu_ | damn! how do i mount it? and it's partitioned. | 16:47 |
| bercik | Is there some way to downgrade xserver 1.6 to 1.5 in Jaunty please? | 16:47 |
| briancro` | Xarver: is it "Youtube Broswer" plugin in Totem? | 16:47 |
| merlinn__ | ubuntu_: at the step before you choose the drive to partition, try unplugging the external and replugging it in. this will remount it and it should show up in the dropdown menu | 16:47 |
| Xarver | briancro`: well its called YouTotem | 16:48 |
| NimO | ? | 16:48 |
| NimO | hello | 16:48 |
| ubuntu_ | that's after choosing "advance" option right? | 16:48 |

| indian_munnda | mzz: here is the xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/174381/ | 16:49 |
| merlinn__ | ubuntu_: try it on the screen where you can choose "advance". then after you replug it in, click advance and click forward. i had some weird problems having it recognize my thumb drive when i installed it there | 16:49 |
| iamhere | there's a really good viral video, I heard | 16:49 |

| mzz | xukun: not sure then. It's really not working and not just not restoring volume/unmute settings? | 16:49 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu_: I have no idea if this will work but it's a usb drive so maybe: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ | 16:50 |

| ubuntu_ | <sacarlson> i tired it before it didn't work. thx | 16:50 |
| xukun | mzz, no I'm sure of that. mzz is there a way to make sure that there is no left overs from pulseaudio loading? | 16:50 |
| mzz | xukun: just check pulse is not running and there's no pulse mentioned in your user or sysetm alsa config file | 16:51 |
| indian_munnda | mzz: here is the xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/174381/ | 16:51 |
| ubuntu_ | <merlinn>ok. one more thing, the ext. hd. is partitioned to 2 drives, one has files in it already, and the other one is unallocated. | 16:51 |
| mzz | indian_munnda: yeah, I saw. Sorry, I'm behind pretty laggy ssh right now. Reading as soon as I've managed to load it :) | 16:52 |

| iamhere | barock, just quit, resiGN. | 16:54 |
| sacarlson | donkey: I think maybe you want sudo to not need a password. that can be done | 16:54 |
| briancro` | Xarver: This will let you browse and play from within Totem http://www.ehow.com/how_4825154_movie-player-watch-youtube-videos.html | 16:54 |
| briancro` | Xarver: I am still working on how to switch the default player to Totem in Firefox | 16:54 |
| iamhere | ya'll sho du like lookin' at USELF's | 16:55 |
| donkey | sacarlson how do i do that? | 16:55 |
| mne | Hi. On a thinkpad x61 i have a strange usb problem: while usb storage devices work, all other devices (keyboards, mice, serial dongles, bluetooth dongles, ...) do not work at all. Neither the kernel writes anything to the log nor does lsusb show any the connected devices. Did anyone else have these problems ? | 16:55 |
| mzz | Xarver: there's really two parts to this: get totem to play youtube stuff at all, and get firefox to open totem. For the latter I'm pretty sure you'll need a firefox extension, not (just) a firefox plugin. | 16:55 |
| sacarlson | sudo! donkey | 16:55 |
| Xarver | ok | 16:55 |
| indian_munnda | mzz: got any thing dude? | 16:55 |
| sacarlson | !sudo donkey | 16:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo donkey | 16:56 |
| sacarlson | !sudo | 16:56 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 16:56 |
| mzz | mne: curious. Does lsusb show both the usb 1 and usb 2 hub? | 16:56 |
| donkey | sacarlson i tried sudo! donkey / !sudo donkey nothing worked | 16:57 |
| mne | mzz, yes. And also storage devices (if one is connected). But all other devices do not show up | 16:57 |
| pw-toxic | !fstab | 16:57 |
| 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 | 16:57 |

| ahtmly2k | help: my sound recorder won't start.. | 17:28 |
| thahauss | Sponce, verify you have the correct video drivers installed | 17:28 |
| Jinxed553 | sacarlson: I have an ati card... i can't get to the point where you type in your username | 17:28 |
| chuck_ | joe-mac it might not be the nvidia driver when you go to system/preferences/sound do you see hdmi and if so when you press test do you hear sound | 17:28 |
| Mo0oSaH | Anyone find a work around to legacy ati cards with 9.04? | 17:29 |
| Sponce | Jinxed553, if you type ctrl - alt - F11 once you think it's loaded you can get terminal access | 17:29 |
| === Sinjon is now known as joeDeuce | ||
| sacarlson | donkey: I think I would create a new user and login to that account and see if that problem goes away. if it does just delete the broken user configs | 17:29 |
| thahauss | merlinn_, still there? | 17:30 |
| merlinn_ | thahauss: hmm i dont see any sites that refer to the way your grub section about windows7 is set up. where did you read it? | 17:30 |
| Jinxed553 | Sponce: it just gets to a screen when where there is like 3 copies of the loading logo and status bar spread out smaller than usual and some weird symbols on the top (chinese?) | 17:30 |

| chuck_ | Mo0oSaH, radeon/radeonhd | 17:30 |
| thahauss | merlinn_, my grub is probably wrong, I've been trying several things, I'm new to linux | 17:30 |
| Mo0oSaH | radeon HD | 17:30 |
| sacarlson | Jinxed553: can you boot as a single user? or I guess safe mode? | 17:31 |
| thahauss | merlinn_, can you advise what I need to enter in menu.lst ? | 17:31 |
| Sponce | Jinxed553: sounds a bit weird for me, it's just a workaround that can be useful if you know what to delete/reset via command line. Sorry | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | i dident have to do anything special with menu.lst to boot windows 7 -> my grub menu.lst --> http://pastebin.com/f8b07188 | 17:31 |
| merlinn_ | thahauss: look at what this guy did: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035999 | 17:31 |

| Jinxed553 | well | 17:32 |
| Jinxed553 | actually sacarlson what would i do once I boot | 17:32 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | How to use SynCE? I've connected my HTC Diamond to PC, set up Partnership, choose Calendar, Files and Tasks. Now how do I actually sync my phone data with PC? | 17:32 |
| merlinn_ | thahauss: did you install ubuntu first or windows first | 17:32 |
| chuck_ | Mo0oSaH, I use the Radeonhd driver with no complaints | 17:32 |
| predatorian | sponce - have you tried CTRL+ALT+F1 or any of hose? | 17:32 |
| predatorian | those* | 17:32 |
| traemccombs | hey guys, how do I upgrae my dist from 8.10 -> 9.04 from the command line. I'm using ubuntu as a server. | 17:32 |
| thahauss | merlinn_, ubuntu first, windows 7 wiped out grub, I restored grub, and now trying to add windows 7 to the list | 17:33 |
| Sponce | Mo0oSaH, man i totally feel you. ATi and Linux = bad times right now. i had to upgrade to 9.04 just to get my GPU to work, and it's still not doing it's job right | 17:33 |
| merlinn_ | thahauss: i think your menu.list will say 0,3 or 0,4... i'm not sure which one is the install | 17:33 |
| Jinxed553 | traemccombs: then why risk updating... do you need any of the new features | 17:33 |
| zerothis | I have a USB harddrive with a live bootable partitiion and a partition with a normal instalation. how can set it up to select which to boot? | 17:33 |
| Mo0oSaH | chuck_: what card do you have? Did you get a warning during the upgrade? There is a huge thread on the forums with everyone complaining about how ATI made relatively newer cards legacy | 17:33 |
| merlinn_ | thahauss: try both | 17:33 |
| traemccombs | Jinxed553: well...it's not a mission critical server... but was just curious | 17:33 |
| cafree | I need to get firewire for my system and am thinking of buying a firewire card to install. How is ubuntu's hardware support for those? Do I need to be careful of which one I buy? | 17:33 |
| thahauss | merlinn_, ok I sure will, do I need to run the "update-grub" command? i came across that while researching | 17:33 |
| sacarlson | Jinxed553: then maybe you could modify the file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf change the line with device to device "vesa" | 17:34 |
| Jinxed553 | traemccombs: it is up to you... I just know I wass extremly frustrated after one upgrade and everything that i had spent lots of time setting up to my liking was screwed up | 17:34 |
| merlinn_ | no, that generates a menu.lst | 17:34 |
| merlinn_ | itll overwrite your changes | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | cafree: the few i have tried - had no issues. ive not needed them in ages however. One was built into sound card, one was a stand alone pci card | 17:34 |
| paco | im having problems with my ati radeon 9200 Xorg eats all the cpu | 17:34 |
| sacarlson | Jinxed553: that will at least get you to boot gnome then you will have to find a working better driver for you ati | 17:34 |
| traemccombs | Jinxed553: aye... yeah I'm aware of those things... | 17:34 |
| thahauss | merlinn_, ok, I really, really appreciate your time thanks a ton for the help | 17:34 |
| Mo0oSaH | Sponce: do you have 3d enabled>? What card do you have? | 17:34 |
| paco | in jaunty | 17:34 |
| merlinn_ | thahauss: no problem, i hope it works | 17:34 |
| thahauss | merlinn_, I'm going to restart and cross my fingers :) | 17:34 |
| Jinxed553 | alright brb | 17:35 |
| merlinn_ | thahauss: mine will be crossed too =) | 17:35 |
| paco | does any one know how to fix it | 17:35 |
| paco | ? | 17:35 |
| cafree | Dr_Willis, I'm not really knowledgeable about firewire at all, but I think I have an old soundblaster with firewire. If I install that would I be able to use its port to transfer video from my camcorder? | 17:35 |
| paco | when i was having intrepid it was working correctly | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | cafree: should work. try it and see. | 17:35 |
| Mo0oSaH | paco: are you using fglrx drivers? | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | cafree: with some frirewire stuff you may need to load the modules manually. | 17:36 |
| paco | hmmmm how do i know if i am using fglrx | 17:36 |
| paco | ? | 17:36 |
| mikebeecham | hi there, does anyone know the best way to file share between Ubuntu and my Mac (where all my media is located)? | 17:37 |
| Ubuntudad | How do direct a message at a user using xchat? | 17:37 |
| chuck_ | paco, fglrxinfo in terminal | 17:37 |
| sacarlson | cafree: I had firewire working in linux about 5 years ago with debian with my sony digital pc100 cam. But I haven't played with it in years. so there is hope | 17:37 |
| bastid_raZor | mikebeecham; scp or mount the directory locally via ssh | 17:38 |
| yaris123456789 | how do i remove a file in several deep subdir, and remove that entire subdir at same time ? | 17:38 |
| dooner | mikebeecham, media is on the mac and you want to see if from an ubuntu install? | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: depends on your needs. using ssh and 'sshfs' is rather easy to get going. or set up some samba/shares.. if ox-s supports nfs. that may be 'fastest' but might be harder to setup | 17:38 |
| mikebeecham | dooner: correct mate | 17:38 |
| cafree | sacarlson, thanks. I'll try to find my old card and buy a cable, see what happens | 17:38 |
| Vittorio | hi guyz | 17:38 |
| Vittorio | can anyone help me to fix my sound card drivers | 17:38 |
| paco | it says that the package its not installed | 17:38 |
| Vittorio | ?? | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 17:38 |
| mikebeecham | Dr Willis. Are there any speed restrictions when using ssh, as I will be streaming media across the network | 17:39 |
| Mo0oSaH | paco: then you're using open source drivers, they are really buggy at the moment | 17:39 |
| chuck_ | paco, well that answered your question | 17:39 |
| Vittorio | any1? | 17:39 |
| paco | so what do i have to do | 17:39 |
| paco | ? | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: i stream videos find with sshfs try it and see i guess. | 17:39 |
| bastid_raZor | yaris123456789; rm -R /path/to/folder | 17:39 |
| Mo0oSaH | paco: try to install fglrx to see if that fixes the issues, there are a few howtos, just google them. | 17:40 |
| dooner | mikebeecham, turn on filesharing on the mac (that will use SMB) and you should be able to connect (all my media is stored on NFS servers so I not 100% sure how to do it on ubuntu :)) | 17:40 |
| jetienne | q. what is the name of the default video player in ubuntu | 17:40 |
| JustSomething | Totem, I think | 17:40 |
| PhotoJim | mikebeecham: NFS or Samba will be faster. you can also use Apple networking with Linux, although I've never done it. | 17:40 |
| paco | thanks i hope its not too complicate, im new in these things | 17:41 |
| jetienne | JustSomething: ok | 17:41 |
| bastid_raZor | jetienne; in gnome/ubuntu it is totem | 17:41 |
| Debolaz | After upgrading from hardy to jaunty, there's a very noticable degradation in sound quality.. Are there any big obvious reasons for this I should check? | 17:41 |
| mikebeecham | PhotoJim: How easy is NFS to set up? I want something that will work really well, but I'm not a great user of Linux, so will need easy instructions to follow :D | 17:42 |
| Mo0oSaH | paco: which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !nfs | 17:42 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 17:42 |
| paco | 9.04 | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: takes me all of 5 min on 2 linux box's :) may be harder on OSX | 17:42 |
| dooner | mikebeecham, I Not sure OSX client can do NFS. best to stick with SMB (samba) | 17:42 |
| yaris123456789 | bastid_raZor: can i tell it to ignore parent directory | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | OS-X has bsd for the core and cant do NFS? :() | 17:42 |
| mikebeecham | Dr_Willis: dooner thanks...will try and get Samba set up. | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis | or proberly cant do it as nicely :) | 17:43 |
| Vittorio | need help with my sound card any1 ? | 17:43 |
| PhotoJim | mikebeecham: NFS has a learning curve. the hardest thing about it is that users on Linux, BSD and OS X have user numbers as well as names, and to serve between machines using NFS, user names and numbers need to match. OS X doesn't start numbering users at 1000 like Linux does, so you have to renumber the users on the Mac and then modify the file ownership. I managed it in about an hour, but for a newbie it's probably slightly intense. :) | 17:43 |
| dooner | Dr_Willis, I not sure OSX (not server) can act as a NFS server by default :) | 17:43 |
| paco | im using ubuntu jaunty | 17:43 |
| lenswipe | msg NickServ identify | 17:43 |
| lenswipe | hey there guys | 17:43 |
| lenswipe | can someone talk a look at something for me | 17:43 |
| bastid_raZor | yaris123456789; the parent directory will not be deleted .. if you tell it to rm folder1 inside of folder2 by this means. rm -R /folder2/folder1 it'll only remove folder1 | 17:44 |
| mikebeecham | PhotoJim: might just go with Samba :D Is there any difference in performance between Samba and SSH? | 17:44 |
| paco | but as i said , when i had intrepid everything worked correctly | 17:44 |
| Dr_Willis | dooner: but OS-X is supposed to magicially make everything trivial.. (ill shut up now) :P | 17:44 |
| lenswipe | can someone take a look at this for me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7296372#post7296372 | 17:44 |
| Linkadmin | has anyone ever tried to move their whole system from 32 to 64bit without reinstalling from scratch? | 17:44 |
| Phlexonance | hi, my Ubuntu 8.04 can't open new internet connections after a certain amount of time, I'm connected to my (small, local) ISP via a CAT5 and pppoe, when the error happens, I can't even ping anymore whilst old connections stay open, like IRC for example | 17:44 |
| paco | now Xorg eats all my cpu | 17:44 |
| chuck_ | Mo0oSaH, I just installed the driver from git I do not use the fglrx driver from ati it is to buggy for me | 17:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Linkadmin: im not sure thats really possible | 17:44 |
| PhotoJim | mikebeecham: NFS > Samba > sshfs in terms of speed. | 17:44 |
| Linkadmin | me neither | 17:44 |
| dooner | Dr_Willis, hehe. It might, I've never tried to run an NFS server on OSX (non server). I use OpenSolaris for them : (and I'll shutup now as well... ) | 17:45 |
| paco | so should i or should i not install fglrx | 17:45 |
| PhotoJim | mikebeecham: are you using your Mac as the server, or your Linux box? | 17:45 |
| lenswipe | could someone take a look at something for me as im having problems with a samba domain controller: heres the forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7296372#post7296372 | 17:45 |
| Debolaz | It's like something tries to overamplify the sound, yet there's no increase in sound volume. | 17:45 |
| Mo0oSaH | chuck_: does "glxinfo | grep direct" give you Yes for direct rendering? | 17:45 |
| mikebeecham | PhotoJim: Max | 17:46 |
| * Debolaz doesn't like the idea of having to downgrade to hardy just to be able to listen to music. | 17:46 | |
| mikebeecham | all media is on an external usb, attached to the max | 17:46 |
| mikebeecham | Linux is upstairs | 17:46 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: can't even ping anything on your local network address mask | 17:46 |
| mikebeecham | where I want to stream the media to | 17:46 |
| PhotoJim | Debolaz: do you still have older kernels installed? try booting with an older one and seeing if your audio comes back. sometimes kernel bugs affect audio. | 17:46 |
| dooner | mikebeecham, I would just go with Samba, Since the turning on File Sharing under prefs on the mac using SMB, and samba will easily talk to i. | 17:47 |
| Debolaz | PhotoJim: Will try. | 17:47 |
| mikebeecham | dooner: ok mate | 17:47 |
| mikebeecham | thanks | 17:47 |
| lenswipe | is anyone able to help me with my samba domain controller? | 17:47 |
| lenswipe | i cant get my clients logged on properly | 17:47 |
| PhotoJim | Debolaz: if that works, just remember to try newer ones when they come out. my Intel audio was broken awhile, but the last kernel update fixed it. | 17:47 |
| lenswipe | i even made a forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7296372#post7296372 | 17:47 |

| merlinn_ | brian_: that's an object file, not an executable | 17:52 |
| Sponce | :color | 17:52 |

| victorzerefos | can I install some program outside ubuntu | 17:52 |

| pm2 | Hi - does anyone know of free linux software that can take a set of latitude/longitude points, and plot them using free map data of some sort (topographical preferably)? | 17:53 |
| brian_ | first i tried geany | 17:53 |
| brian_ | then i did g++ helloworld.cpp | 17:53 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: if no number then you problem is i DNS if number are seen then maybe a routing problem | 17:54 |
| Sponce | brian g++ helloworld.c -o helloworld.exe | 17:54 |
| Phlexonance | scarlson, next time (which will undoubtley come in an hour or so) I'll see if the problem is the dns | 17:54 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: or a firewall problem | 17:54 |
| briancro | I just started RBox after someone asked about it and I am loving last.fm | 17:54 |
| Phlexonance | scarlson, I have no router and no firewall | 17:54 |
| dooner | brian_, or could also do make helloworld (default make rules should work...) | 17:54 |
| chuck_ | paco, I do not know what driver you have if you installed the fglrx driver and fglrxinfo says not installed you did something wrong and it fell back to the vesa driver | 17:54 |
| brian_ | um ubuntu uses .exes? | 17:55 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: if you use dhcp then you do have a router it's just setup auto. this hapens in an hour maybe your dhcp lease expire is set to that? | 17:55 |
| sebsebseb | brian_: no | 17:55 |
| Phlexonance | sacarlson, *I* do no thave a router, the cat5 goes straight to my ISP | 17:55 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: so you setup a static ip address? | 17:56 |
| paco | hmmmmm i havent installed ftglrx | 17:56 |
| Phlexonance | sacarlson, no, it's dhcp, as I've said | 17:56 |
| xy|ox | brian_, geany got a "build" button where it will compile your code | 17:56 |
| dooner | brian_, it doesn't, but there is no reason you cannot name a file .exe . but the .exe wouldn't be use to tell the system the file is executable. | 17:56 |
| sebsebseb | brian_: you need Wine to open exes in a Linux distro, however Wine can't run every Windows program | 17:57 |
| ubuntumachine | i need help..im trying to get write permission to an external drive that already has info... | 17:57 |

| ubuntumachine | sebastien, ok | 17:57 |
| Sponce | brian i only suggested it to make it clear to you what is a .c, .exe and later on other files like .h | 17:57 |
| merlinn_ | brian_: gpp -o executablename sourcename.cpp | 17:57 |
| brian_ | ok i got it to work | 17:58 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntumachine: gksudo nautilus be careful with that since your root/admin for all the files on your Ubuntu install with that, so don't delete something by mistake | 17:58 |
| touch | hi i got a problem, when i try to install ubuntu gparted freezes the sytem when it trys to format the hdd this error only happens with a 64bit installation. Does anyone can help me with this ? | 17:58 |
| brian_ | wtf does geany hide the build option away? | 17:58 |
| brian_ | compile is useless... | 17:58 |
| Sponce | makes sense to do the sourcename first considering there is tabbed completion | 17:58 |
| pmvalente | hello, I'm made the update from 8.10 to 9.04, but the kernel still the 2.6.27-11 and grup still said 8.10, but I'm in 9.04. someone could help me? | 17:58 |
| merlinn_ | they both work | 17:58 |
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, ok.... | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntumachine: then get into computer or maybe /media or /mnt where your external hard disk is. right click go to properites, and you can change the permissions for it | 17:59 |

| brian_ | it takes like 2 seconds to appear, is that normal? | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: you mean it's left the old kernel on from 8.10? | 17:59 |
| merlinn_ | brian_: its the coder :) | 17:59 |
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, that didnt work | 17:59 |
| thewrathjr | has anyone used 9.04 server or only 8.04 server lts? | 17:59 |
| shadeslayer | thewrathjr: better ask in #ubuntu-server | 18:00 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: well next time it hapens or you can record it now is look at the numbers provided for DNS at /etc/resolv.conf and ping those numbers when you get the error to see if the problem is on the isp side. if you have a local device you should see if you can ping that also | 18:00 |
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, i tried to change from root to myuser and that didnt work..and i tried to change file acces to write and read and that didnt work | 18:00 |
| pmvalente | sebsebseb: yes | 18:00 |
| brian_ | merlin_: I might not be the best coder but I am pretty sure my hello world code should be very fast | 18:00 |
| dooner | brian_, how slow is your computer :) Also is it just a single cout statement or is it something more complicated ? | 18:00 |
| brian_ | Just a cout | 18:00 |
| brian_ | my computer should be fast | 18:00 |
| shadeslayer | brian_: compiling a C++ program?? | 18:00 |
| brian_ | i am using 64 bit ubuntu | 18:00 |
| merlinn_ | brian_: totally kidding. pastebin your source for us to look at | 18:00 |

| ubuntumachine | sebastien, error The owner could not be changed. | 18:00 |

| ubuntumachine | sebastien, i tried changing the FIle Access to Write and Read..and it didnt work | 18:02 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: sudo route will return your router info the default line will be your gateway address | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntumachine: change the group and that as well, you don't want root for anything | 18:02 |
| merlinn_ | brian_: why the sleep(5)? | 18:02 |

| dooner | brian_, remove the sleep (5) and see if gets faster. I think iostream is buffered, so it could just be waiting ... | 18:03 |
| shadeslayer | brian_: or getch() , if its supported :P | 18:04 |
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, this is the error i got.... The owner could not be changed. | 18:04 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: you have no default? | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: let's find out what kernel your running at the moment. if you don't already know | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: uname -r in the terminal | 18:04 |
| Phlexonance | sacarlson: default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntumachine: make sure it's the gksudo nautilus one | 18:04 |
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, i did | 18:04 |
| brian_ | thats really weird | 18:04 |

| therealpxc | hello. Is there anyone here who knows something about persistent USB installs and can explain to me the advantage of using the USB Creator versus a straight install to an external HDD? | 18:05 |
| therealpxc | does it affect the life of the drive, bootability, etc? | 18:05 |
| Debolaz | I guess there's no choice but to downgrade from jaunty back to hardy to fix the problem. | 18:05 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: oh pppoe is not the same as dhcp | 18:05 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, i did gksudo nautilus...went to /media...right clicked Iomega - properties - permission | 18:05 |
| brian_ | sleep(5) was the culprit -- on windows system("pause") doesn't slow my program down, I guess linux is bloatware... | 18:05 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: maybe you already got it installed, if not you can probably install it from the repo, and you can even get a slightly later kernel if you use a ppa | 18:05 |
| shadeslayer | therealpxc: no real difference apart from boot-times | 18:05 |
| merlinn_ | brian_: pause is different than sleep(5) | 18:05 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: then all you can ping is the dns | 18:05 |
| Phlexonance | sacarlson, yes | 18:06 |
| xy|ox | brian_, you should use the line i wrote, so your output get flushed inmediately | 18:06 |
| pmvalente | sebsebseb: ppa? | 18:06 |
| dooner | brian_, linux != bloatware , read about buffered IO | 18:06 |
| merlinn_ | therealpxc: actually, the USB creator is like a live cd. straight install is the traditional type of install | 18:06 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: normalley only recommended for more experiended users | 18:06 |
| chuck_ | paco, you still here | 18:06 |
| merlinn_ | therealpxc: persistent is like a live cd that tracks changes. still not really a traditional install | 18:06 |
| therealpxc | merlinn_: Yes, I know, but why would you want a LiveCD-like install? | 18:06 |
| shadeslayer | therealpxc: USB creator will format to fat32 (low boot speed) whereas complete install will give ext 4 (faster) | 18:06 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: does it give you an ip address? | 18:06 |
| paco | chuck_, yes | 18:06 |
| Phlexonance | sacarlson, what do you mean | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: ,but Ubuntu only does security updates, and so using ppa's is a way to get even later packages | 18:07 |
| merlinn_ | therealpxc: im not sure full install to a USB device was possible until the last version or two | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | !ppa > pmvalente | 18:07 |
| ubottu | pmvalente, please see my private message | 18:07 |
| merlinn_ | therealpxc: but it definitely is smaller than a full install | 18:07 |
| sacarlson | Phlexonance: does ifconfig return an ip address? | 18:07 |
| paco | chuck_, ? | 18:07 |
| ubuntumachine | anyone know? | 18:07 |
| therealpxc | merlinn_: Ah, and you also get to specify how much space is used for persistent changes, etc. | 18:07 |
| chuck_ | paco, go here and make sure your card is not on the list if it is your only option is the open source drivers http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/9.4 | 18:07 |
| shadeslayer | therealpxc: i would suggest a full install :) | 18:07 |

| sacarlson | Phlexonance: ok that's all I can tell ya | 18:08 |
| paco | chuck_, my ati card is radeon 9200 | 18:08 |
| unop | psychic, that depends on the motherboard/BIOS | 18:08 |
| dooner | brian_, if you want to leave the sleep add an << endl to the end of the line to flush the buffer. | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | !permissions | ubuntumachine | 18:08 |
| ubottu | ubuntumachine: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 18:08 |

| paco | chuck_, no its not there | 18:08 |
| psychic | unop how can i check | 18:08 |
| psychic | ? | 18:08 |
| therealpxc | shadeslayer: Sounds like a plan. I tried it a bit ago, but like a dumbass, I forgot to tell Ubuntu to install GRUB to the not to the MBR of my primary HDD, but the boot record of the external lol. I had to fix GRUB from a LiveCD and the first time I forgot to set up the chroot properly (by remounting /proc within the chroot, etc.) | 18:08 |

| ubuntumachine | sebastien, ???? | 18:09 |
| Phlexonance | sacarlson, thx for now, I'll ask again here later after the next round | 18:09 |
| shadeslayer | therealpxc: haha , happens all the time :) | 18:09 |
| therealpxc | My only other question is if, since BIOSes appear pickier about booting from external media, the Ubuntu install will function/boot properly from a partition other than the first. | 18:09 |
| pmvalente | sebsebseb:that's to much for me, thanks anyway, I will wait for the next update on my system. | 18:09 |
| unop | psychic, enter the BIOS setup utility or consult your motherboard/BIOS documentation. | 18:09 |
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, i tried chmod 777 /media/Iomega....didnt work | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: well it should have installed for you when you upgraded | 18:10 |
| therealpxc | I already have a partially-full (gigs of crap) NTFS partition I'd rather not attempt moving | 18:10 |
| unop | ubuntumachine, what kind of filesystem on the Iomega? | 18:10 |
| merlinn_ | therealpxc: should be fine as long as it has the boot flag enabled | 18:10 |
| ubuntumachine | sebastien, i also tried chown -R | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: maybe it has, just for some reason didn't add itself to Grub | 18:10 |
| therealpxc | merlinn_: I thought the boot flag was only applicable to FAT filesystems..? | 18:10 |
| shadeslayer | therealpxc: how about moving all of it to the external HDD and repartioning? | 18:10 |
| merlinn_ | therealpxc: nope | 18:10 |
| ubuntumachine | unop, honestly..i dont know..didnt think of it..how do i check | 18:10 |
| therealpxc | shadeslayer: That's definitely a possibility, I just want as little time sunk into it as possible lol. | 18:10 |
| unop | ubuntumachine, fdisk -l # should list it | 18:11 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntumachine: maybe editing fstab is another way, but been a while since I done this stuff | 18:11 |
| paco | chuck_, do you know how can i get the 9.4 installer, the link there seems not to work | 18:11 |
| therealpxc | (I must have been thinking of the "active" and "lba" partition labels, those are the DOS ones) | 18:11 |
| shadeslayer | therealpxc: leave it overnight ;) | 18:11 |
| therealpxc | anyway, thank you guys for your help, shadeslayer and merlinn_ | 18:11 |
| pmvalente | sebsebseb: in installation it asked "keep actual grub" or something like that, and I answer yes, may be because of that | 18:11 |
| shadeslayer | therealpxc: no problem | 18:12 |
| merlinn_ | np | 18:12 |
| ubuntumachine | unop, Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table | 18:12 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: open synaptic and search for kernel | 18:12 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: if you got a green one for the later kernel, then you have installed | 18:12 |
| chuck_ | paco, the installer is at ati's web site | 18:12 |
| ubuntumachine | Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes | 18:12 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: and you can manualley edit the grub menu.list for it | 18:12 |
| unop | ubuntumachine, is /dev/sdb your iomega ? | 18:12 |
| ubuntumachine | unop, yes | 18:12 |
| paco | chuck_, ok let me look for it | 18:12 |
| unop | ouch | 18:12 |
| bo7amny | is there a command in the terminal that open a program in selected work place ? "sorry 4 the bad en" | 18:13 |

| unop | ubuntumachine, can you put that output on a pastebin ? | 18:13 |
| pmvalente | sebsebseb: Yes I know how edit grub, but since uname -r give me the old kernel I thing that is the one installed, but I will check via synaptic | 18:13 |
| ubuntumachine | unop, sure..but i already did in here...did you see it? | 18:13 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: I am saying you have the old one installed yes, but you may also have the new one already installed as well | 18:14 |

| thuglife222 | dooner: i have problem with the sound | 18:17 |
| ubuntumachine | unop, thats the output | 18:17 |
| sebsebseb | pmvalente: plus if you remove the kernel. do the grub menu.list editing wrong for newer kernel, and re boot, well maybe you won't have a kernel that you can just boot up at all | 18:17 |
| thuglife222 | dooner: i can listen to songs.... even during recording i can listen to my own voice as well... but when i listen back to recorded voice its like no voice atall | 18:18 |
| dooner | thuglife222, what type of problem? Does it work, not work? low/ garbled/etc.. | 18:18 |

| DaveJ1337 | I wonder if I put an entry in there if it will override whatever else Jaunty's using... | 18:24 |
| Benin | Shadeslayer: Yeah; I used Cheese previously and saw I could change the image 'artificially' but the camera itself still takes the image upside down | 18:24 |

| Slart | Roasted: old motherboard? | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | userek: well sure, but most hardware and software is made for Vista | 19:05 |
| Slart | Roasted: you might want to try updating the bios | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | userek: most modern above | 19:05 |
| Roasted | Slart - I built this comptuer in november of 08. | 19:05 |
| chemikalz | morning ubuntu users | 19:05 |
| madsj | hi; I have a problem with java under www.ddb.dk -> Log-on -> Netbank (Activecard) | 19:06 |
| Roasted | Slart - I checked BIOS updates and in the fixes section for what each BIOS does it didnt appear that any of them had anything to offer in terms of a change for fixing my issue. | 19:06 |
| madsj | it crashes firefox; how can I fix this ? | 19:06 |
| Huy | The first time I plugged the device in, Kubuntu seem to recorgnize it, I could use the pen to control cursor | 19:06 |
| Huy | but after I reboot | 19:06 |
| Huy | hmm | 19:06 |
| Huy | :( | 19:06 |
| chemikalz | whats the diffference between ubuntu and kubuntu? | 19:07 |
| Slart | Roasted: hmm.. it just sounded like one of those old "the boot partition must be in the first 1024 sectors" things or something like that | 19:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter > Huy | 19:07 |
| ubottu | Huy, please see my private message | 19:07 |

| Slart | Roasted: but I don't think that would be a problem in 2008 | 19:07 |
| chemikalz | i have window manager installed on my regulare ubuntu though | 19:07 |
| spectrum | hi all | 19:07 |
| Roasted | Slart - that was my thinking too. | 19:07 |
| Tasem | mvalviar, are you using a tablet or Compiz? | 19:07 |
| System404 | hey my bitches how r we all | 19:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | System404 That is unacceptable language in here, thanks | 19:08 |
| System404 | wat is wazzzup | 19:08 |
| Slart | Roasted: uh.. that's very odd.. I would think it would either boot or not.. not just whine about it and then boot | 19:08 |
| Tasem | It might be that. Im having a similar issue, since I have an Nvidia card, but Im not really ready to give it up yet so I want to see if fixing my tablet solves the problem | 19:08 |

| ubottu | spectrum, please see my private message | 19:09 |
| Slart | Roasted: hmm.. you mean you don't have a separate boot partition, right? | 19:09 |
| Slart | Roasted: ie /boot is located in the same place as your other root file | 19:09 |
| Slart | *files | 19:10 |
| Roasted | Slart - No. I have 80gb Vista, 20gb Root, 380gb Home. That's my disk. | 19:10 |
| Slart | Roasted: then those 20GB are the boot partition.. even if you have other files on it as well | 19:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted Slart is correct you will find /boot on your root | 19:10 |
| System404 | ok u ubuntu gurus attempting to install ubuntu 8.0.4 on a dell vostro 1510 however during install the kernal loads then goes to a command screen no gui like it should be i tried startx and get list of errors so im thinking my video card but my dell vostro 1510 is a pretty recent machine so surely there should b no probs with the install | 19:11 |
| Roasted | Slart - Would the size of my Vista partition be the reasoning behind my BIOS crapping out and GRUB barfing out that error? | 19:11 |
| Slart | Roasted: I would think so, yes | 19:11 |
| lungren | im using 8.04 hardy and im having trouble watching online videos while having my media player open at the same time | 19:11 |

| lungren | this is a somewhat frequent problem from what i gather | 19:12 |
| aaron_ | is their any fix with youtube videos? meaning flash or something. | 19:12 |

| mvalviar | when i click the bookmark menu to access my bookmarks FF pops up the bookmark dialog prompting me to bookmark the page. | 19:14 |
| komputes | System404: ok, what I reccommend is boot into the greub menu by pessing ESC at boot - run xfix from the recovery mode, if that fails, as 'Driver "vesa"' to your xorg.conf | 19:15 |
| breadtk | Has anybody had any experience with installing Ubuntu 9.04 onto HP Mininote 2140? | 19:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | At his own request | 19:15 |

| System404 | thanks komputes will give it a go | 19:15 |
| komputes | System404: i made a few typos so ask if you don't understand what I just said ;) | 19:16 |
| Roasted | Slart - can I "add" a boot partition on an already installed dual boot hard drive? | 19:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted I have a way you can test that issue without scrambling your partitions | 19:16 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - oh? How so? | 19:16 |
| Slart | Roasted: yes, if you can make some free space at the beginning of the drive you can create a small boot partition.. it might mess up the grub menu though since the partitions will change numbers | 19:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted You can make a boot cd | 19:17 |
| Roasted | Slart - what's the ideal partition space for a boot partition? | 19:17 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - like super grub? | 19:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted no, it is a copy of your /boot on a cd and it works like the regular one. | 19:18 |
| Slart | Roasted: very moderate.. you can check how big your /boot folder is.. if it was me I would use around 1GB or so | 19:18 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - so I'd rely on a CD to boot my computer? | 19:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted I use it after reinstalling windows to get back into my system to fix the mbr | 19:18 |
| Slart | Roasted: and that's probably a bit more than you'd actually need | 19:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted In your case it would only test to see if that would solve your problem | 19:18 |

| RedDragons | I'm trying to intall sinit but it can't find it | 19:21 |

| Adremelech|Lapto | AVGHelp, if you really want AV, use clam | 19:22 |

| Roasted | Slart - I've been bitten in the rear a couple times with failed drives - so now I have 4 drives in mys ystem, 1 to use, 3 for backups. Overkill? Yes. But I won't be a sucker again. | 19:23 |
| Slart | Roasted: wow.. first time I've actually run into someone that already has backups.. =D | 19:23 |
| komputes | unop: oops :| | 19:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted but they may not work on a relocated partition | 19:23 |
| AVGHelp | adremlech i have something called "virus scanner" which can be found in applications add remove and it is based on clamAV BUT it does not actively by itself scan whilst the computer is running it does not scan when you click stuff it does not work in the background protecting you | 19:23 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - wh at wouldnt work? | 19:23 |
| macd | Recomendations for an EEEPC install (1000HD), have been looking at geteasypeasy.com, any other suggestions (have read over at array.org on compat issues already) | 19:23 |
| AVGHelp | adremlech but that is not the point the point is i downloaded avg for linux dubble clicked it to isntall but it is not showing up in applications accesories | 19:23 |
| Adremelech|Lapto | AVGHelp, did you try from the command line? | 19:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted Your backups may not work if you try and restore on a new/different partition | 19:24 |
| komputes | Has anyone gotten vino to work in jaunty? | 19:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !eee > macd | 19:24 |
| ubottu | macd, please see my private message | 19:24 |
| macd | Jack_Sparrow, thanks, have read. | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: Why do you think you need anti virus? Ubuntu is not Windows, Linux is not Windows, as a result about the only computers that run Linux that need antivirus is mail servers that scan for Windows viruses | 19:24 |
| AVGHelp | adremelech i tried both these options https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg | 19:24 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - my clonezilla backup is of the partition only. So as long as I have a partition of the exact size available, I can tell clonezilla to rstore it to that. I'm sure of this because last month my main drive died and that's how I restored Vista. | 19:24 |
| macd | Was more looking for personal experience with one, rather than the bots help msg ;) | 19:25 |
| AVGHelp | sebsebseb there are criminnals everywhere in the world i just want more protection | 19:25 |
| Adremelech|Lapto | AVGHelp, like they said: you dont really need AV on linux | 19:25 |
| Adremelech|Lapto | AVGHelp, hence the lack of AV programs | 19:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted BUT you restored to the same size partition in the same location (first on the drive) correct, putting it on SDA2 may not give the desired results | 19:25 |
| Slart | AVGHelp: you might want to try rkhunter for added protection then.. not instead of other stuff.. but as a complement | 19:25 |
| RedDragons | I'm useing the server ver. I'm trying to intall sinit but it can't find it. | 19:25 |
| AVGHelp | adremelech ok that is very nice i dont need it how do i get it to display in appliacations accesories | 19:25 |
| breadtk | AVG has a linux version? O_o | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find sinit | 19:26 |
| matreya6 | Adremelech|Lapto, AVGHelp , Well there is Clamtk | 19:26 |
| ubottu | File sinit found in csound-doc, etalk, fp-docs, fpc-source, gnulib (and 21 others) | 19:26 |
| Slart | AVGHelp: also.. some kind of IDS... and logging to something that isn't erasable.. ie not the local system | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info sinit | 19:26 |
| ubottu | Package sinit does not exist in jaunty | 19:26 |
| Adremelech|Lapto | matreya6, i know, thats what i use :) | 19:26 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - I understand what you're saying, but within clonezilla LiveCD I can pick and choose what image goes to what partition - as long as one of proper size is available, I can push it there accordingly. | 19:26 |
| odder | is anyone willing to help me resizing a file with avidemux? I need to make twice the current size... | 19:26 |
| AVGHelp | breadtk look here http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl | 19:27 |
| RedDragons | or is it called x | 19:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted You can push the image on any partition, getting ti to work is the issue | 19:27 |
| Slart | odder: you want a bigger file? just fyi the quality won't be better | 19:27 |
| odder | Slart: yes, I am aware of that. | 19:27 |
| breadtk | AVGHelp: Sure enough...huh | 19:27 |
| AVGHelp | matreya6, slart yes your oppinions are very nice but do you know how to fix it so that the program will show up in applications accessories | 19:27 |
| odder | Slart: I am however unable to do it ith avidemux, dunno why | 19:27 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - I've never had a problem getting it to work. The only thing I've had a problem with is booting if I restored Vista AFTER installing Ubuntu. So if I push the Vista image back to the disk, then install Ubuntu (therefore Grub takes control) I have yet to have an issue with it. | 19:28 |
| RedDragons | where do i get sinit? | 19:28 |
| === ring1 is now known as ring0 | ||
| Slart | AVGHelp: I've already asked you a question that you didn't answer.. I can't help you if you dont communicate | 19:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted but have you put vista ANYWHERE besides the first partition of the first drive | 19:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RedDragons It is NOT part of Jaunty nor in our repois | 19:28 |
| Slart | odder: any special way you want the file to grow? more image data? more sound data? | 19:28 |
| AVGHelp | slart i want to use avg because it is known and popular and has constant updates, and american consumer this year listed it as the best free antivirus program | 19:29 |
| komputes | odder: try using ffmpeg from the command line - if not to change its size at least to transcode it into a generic format avidemux may handle better | 19:29 |
| RedDragons | ok | 19:29 |
| Slart | AVGHelp: I didn't ask about that | 19:29 |
| tomas_ | hola alguien me podria ayudar | 19:29 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - I understand what you are saying, but Clonezilla LiveCD has the op tion to save the disk or the partition only. If I push the partition only back to the disk, Vista gets named to that partition accordingly. | 19:29 |
| odder | Slart: aaah, sorry - I wasn't perfectly clear - I want to resize it [the resolution] | 19:29 |
| JosefAssad | AVGHelp: if sebsebseb REALLY wanted to help you, he'd just give AVG to you. | 19:29 |
| Slart | AVGHelp: I asked if you knew how to start the software using a terminal | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roasted Good luck | 19:29 |
| * JosefAssad takes cover | 19:29 | |
| RedDragons | so what your saying is ubunbu doesn't have sinit | 19:29 |
| matreya6 | AVGHelp, What has bothered me with AVG is that produces too many false positives and can't clean files, only delete them. On a positive note, it does have a small mem footprint | 19:29 |
| Slart | odder: hmm.. let me check | 19:29 |
| odder | komputes: I got it in avi, to be honest :) | 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | JosefAssad: uh? and heh? | 19:30 |
| AVGHelp | slart i do not know how to start antivirus from a terminal | 19:30 |
| chaos2fu | hi everybody, can someone tell me how to become the owner to a file in the etc-folder? | 19:30 |
| Roasted | Jack_Sparrow - Shouldn't be too bad. I did this last month when my darn Seagate drive gave out. | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 19:30 |
| komputes | odder: avi can be many things | 19:30 |
| odder | chaos2fu: grant you the right through the command line | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !chown | 19:30 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 19:30 |
| Slart | AVGHelp: hmm.. then it's hard to create menu items for it.. you might want to check the documentation for some info on how to start it.. | 19:30 |
| sysdoc | AVGHelp, are you looking for a way to create a launcher for the AVG pgm? | 19:30 |
| Roasted | I just don't understand how I had this same exact setup for the last 8 months and only in the last 2 days I started getting error 18 with grub like that. | 19:30 |
| AVGHelp | matreya6 do you know how to create a button so that it shows up in applications --- accesories | 19:30 |
| komputes | odder: it's more of a container than an actual format | 19:30 |
| AVGHelp | sysdoc yes i am | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: probably after a log out, it will show there | 19:31 |
| odder | komputes: I am not a video-file expert.avidemux tells me its xvid4 | 19:31 |
| AVGHelp | sysdoc one should have been auto created but it wasent | 19:31 |
| sysdoc | AVGHelp, eyeball these instructions: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-avg-antivirus-in-ubuntu-desktop.html | 19:31 |
| chaos2fu | can u please tell me how odder? im total newbie in linux | 19:31 |
| AVGHelp | sysdoc also i tried this but it failed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | chaos2fu: why do you want to be owner of that file? | 19:31 |
| matreya6 | AVGHelp, Sure, just use the menu editor under System => Preferences => Main Menu | 19:31 |
| AVGHelp | sebsebseb i tried to log out no luck | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: no luck??? | 19:31 |
| AVGHelp | matreya6 yes i did that but it was not there | 19:31 |
| komputes | AVGHelp: have you read the following guides: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security#Anti-Virus | 19:32 |
| odder | chaos2fu: somebody pointed you already, try chown | 19:32 |
| AVGHelp | sebsebseb i tried to log out but at login it was still not there the button | 19:32 |
| joss | isn't there a way to give prefix to aptitude or apt-get , seems dpkg -i takes it? | 19:32 |
| chaos2fu | im having trouble with the nvidia x server settings... it wont save the configuration file so every time i restart the computer i have to go into nvidia again and tell it that i want two displays?? | 19:32 |
| komputes | odder: well if it's xvid try changing it to another format using ffmpeg - to get more info on ffmpeg, open a terminal and type "man ffmpeg" | 19:33 |
| Flannel | joss: To do what? | 19:33 |
| AVGHelp | komputes that is what i did read here but for some reason it failed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg | 19:33 |
| odder | Slart: I am sorry -- seems to be working, screwed up again | 19:33 |
| Slart | odder: oh.. you found out how to do it? | 19:33 |
| ring0 | chaos2fu: try running nvidia-settings with gksu in front | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | chaos2fu: run the nvidia-settings tool as root 'gksu nvidia-settings' the menu item for somereason dont ask for the su rights. | 19:33 |
| odder | komputes: thanks for pointing me to this | 19:33 |
| joss | Flannel, to install qt to another directory | 19:33 |
| matreya6 | AVGHelp, even if the menu editor in Gnome is a awkward program, it does seem to do it's job when creating menu shortcuts | 19:33 |
| komputes | AVGHelp: try the one i sent you, it explains better what viruses are out there - either way the system is secure enough that if you stay safe and down't download executables from websites you should be good... | 19:33 |
| AVGHelp | matreya6 i do not follow what do you mean | 19:34 |
| odder | Slart: well, I have changed the video format to xvid4 again, cause for some unknown reason simple copying the video and resizing it didn't work | 19:34 |
| chaos2fu | Dr_Willis: how do i run it as a root? | 19:34 |
| joss | Flannel, though apt-get will surely clean it away again...there are some changes between 4.3 and 4.5.. | 19:34 |
| Slart | odder: oh.. ok | 19:34 |
| AVGHelp | komputes yes i udnerstand that argument it is very nice but still even though linux is way safer i want an antivirus program and i want avg ;) | 19:34 |
| chaos2fu | sorry, but I am total new to linux...:-( | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | chaos2fu: I allready told you how ---> reread --> run the nvidia-settings tool as root 'gksu nvidia-settings' the menu item for somereason dont ask for the su rights. | 19:34 |
| AVGHelp | komputes do you know how to create a button for avg? | 19:35 |
| matreya6 | AVGHelp, care to join me fro a private session? | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | chaos2fu: the terminal is our friend. :) | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !gksu | 19:35 |
| 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) | 19:35 |

| sysdoc | AVGHelp, I gave you a link to a page with explicit instruction on how to do what you want | 19:35 |
| AVGHelp | sysdoc they did not work | 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: with Linux you should be more concerned about running bad commands, than getting viruses! | 19:35 |
| komputes | AVGHelp: I've had bad experience with avg and recommend clam av - they basically both scan, none of them does heuristics, so whats the point, right ;) | 19:36 |
| Tasem | There are no effective viruses in ubuntu. Basically they die on their own | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Heh - the end user doing 'admin tasks wrongly' is more of a danger to a linux box.. then any viruses out there | 19:36 |
| AVGHelp | sebsebseb i am equally concerned with all problems i do not discrimanate any problem all problems are equall to me ;) | 19:36 |
| odder | AVGHelp: I'd recommed ClamAV, too -- seems to be the best for now | 19:36 |
| === jean is now known as Guest6291 | ||
| komputes | AVGHelp: and antivuruses don't necessarily protect against exploits | 19:37 |
| breadtk | @odder: Do you know if ClamAV auto scans all the files I would download (ftp/sftp/firefox)? | 19:37 |
| chaos2fu | Dr_willis: ok sorry man, im installing the gksu now... | 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: the only way to make sure a malicious program is truely removed, is to re install the OS | 19:37 |
| komputes | breadtk: not automatically, every time i used it it was a manual scan | 19:38 |
| icedtea | does ubuntu 9 not have gui support for wifi? Where do I get a list of networks to join? | 19:38 |

| odder | breadtk: try http://clamav.net/doc/latest/html/node26.html | 19:38 |
| breadtk | komputes: k thought so. Thats prolly the biggest downside of it. | 19:38 |
| AVGHelp | odder there is something called virus scanner which comes from applications add remove and it has clamav in it description but it does not actively scan by itself all the files that are in motion | 19:38 |
| breadtk | odder: looking | 19:38 |
| komputes | icedtea: the icon of two computers, top right | 19:38 |
| chaos2fu | cool, it worked... can i run every applications with the gksu? | 19:39 |

| sebsebseb | Slart: didn't know about that one, that will be useful :) instead of asking them with? | 19:39 |
| komputes | icedtea: try a guest session, or try logging in as another user | 19:39 |
| AVGHelp | sebsebseb even better is simply to destroy the computer ;) | 19:39 |
| guntbert | chaos2fu: you can but you *should not* - it could be dangerous to youe system | 19:39 |
| guntbert | *your | 19:40 |

| komputes | AVGHelp: thats the spirit! | 19:40 |
| chaos2fu | ok i see...! and the command sudo is it the application add/remove or? | 19:40 |
| Slart | Tasem: also.. try checking the logs (var/log/syslog) when one of these crashes occur.. there might be some error message | 19:40 |
| sebsebseb | Slart: yeah there was a guy earlier, I had to ask him a few questions, then he gave up when I give him the Grub bot link and that, and he is like I am putting Windows on now, Ubuntu sucks, what ashame | 19:40 |
| Tasem | Oh. Well, I'm running Jaunty Jackalope on a Macbook 5,1. I AM running compiz, but since the problems started with installing the Tablet Im hoping its just that and I wont have to give Compiz off. The problem being that X server crashes on me. I heard that there were some Manual Device Input codes in etc/X11/x.org that are conflicting with Wacom tools, but I have no idea what they are and Im scared of changing anything I shouldnt. | 19:41 |

| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep yes i know | 19:45 |
| Slart | Tasem: I think they removed the shortcut for restarting X in jaunty.. ( type !dontzap for more info ).. but you can try restarting in safe mode.. with out gnome.. then try reading those files | 19:45 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: yes exactly, which is why you think it's so important to have antivirus in Ubuntu, where as experiended users such as myself, know it's not needed | 19:45 |
| Slart | Tasem: you can also use "pastebinit" or "webboard" to pastebin files from command line | 19:46 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep i looked at this page as well it is from amrch 2009 http://techreviews.in/free-avg-anti-virus-for-ubuntu/ | 19:46 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: I have a link that you may find quite useful | 19:46 |
| Tasem | I know, I used dontzap and reactivate it. It still doesnt work when it locks up though. Also, Slart, Im not sure I understand this Pastebin thing | 19:46 |
| AVGHelp | sebsebseb i just want to know how to create the button | 19:47 |
| Tasem | Oh wait, nevermind. That was a stupid mistake on my part, thats all | 19:47 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: Linux is [so] hard for you because you came from a Windows lifestyle. Even if you have Windows virus in a file on your system, it will [not] destroy your system. And you give the same file to your Windows buddy, it [can] destroy his system. | 19:47 |
| Slart | Tasem: pastebin is just a webpage you can upload shorter text snippets to.. then you give us the url (something like pastebin.ubuntu.com/124kuh5ku and we can see the text you entered) | 19:47 |
| Tasem | Allright. What do you mean by pasting from the command line? | 19:47 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep do you know how to create a button? | 19:48 |
| Slart | Tasem: basically.. at a command line you run something like "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" then it will upload that file to a pastebin and print out the url.. you then tell us that url and we can check the log file | 19:48 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: Do you know the terminal command to run AntiVirus? You can add it using Menu Editor or create a Launcher (shortcut link). | 19:48 |
| Tasem | Oh, allright | 19:48 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep no i do not know the terminal command | 19:48 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: by the way antivirus, and antispyware and such isn't even needed on Windows, if people know what they are doing :) | 19:49 |

| slipttees | guntbert: sorry, window erro | 19:49 |
| Slart | Tasem: you might need to install pastebinit first though.. just sudo apt-get install pastebinit will do it | 19:50 |
| RedDragons | i'm having troble geting xinit to run | 19:50 |
| Tasem | Yeah, thanks for this, Im still pretty new at Linux O: | 19:50 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: Do ALT + F2. Put in "gksudo avggui" Did AVG show up? | 19:50 |
| Tasem | Im installing it now, actually | 19:50 |
| guntbert | slipttees: np :-) | 19:50 |

| byte^ | If I have Ubuntu installed on a partition and it is not a LiveCD, can I remove Ubiquity? | 19:50 |
| breadtk | yes | 19:50 |
| shawnmstout | hey can someone explain to me the difference between gnome and kde? is one more versatile then the other, does 1 have more support/applications/configurable then the other? | 19:51 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep it did not show up | 19:51 |
| shawnmstout | i have not been able to find online these type of answers | 19:51 |
| Slart | shawnmstout: they look different.. that's about it | 19:51 |
| Tasem | http://pastebin.com/f1255a761 my Var log | 19:51 |
| Tasem | 19:51 | |
| Slart | shawnmstout: some people prefer one.. other people prefer the other one | 19:51 |
| breadtk | shawnstout: gnome, is much more supported. Kde: good in its own light. | 19:51 |
| byte^ | Look at screenshots for KDE vs Gnome | 19:52 |
| byte^ | you can pretty much run applications from either environment | 19:52 |
| shawnmstout | byte, i know what each look like | 19:52 |
| byte^ | But if you use Gnome, KDE apps may look differently and vice versa | 19:52 |
| ror | kde is ugly as sin ;o, or at least kde apps run in gnome are :) | 19:52 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: You're aware that AVG AntiVirus "can only detect viruses; and cannot remove them from files." ? | 19:52 |
| byte^ | ror: Agreed :3 | 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | ror: I disagree, KDE apps in Gnome that's fine for me | 19:52 |
| ror | really? I find most KDE apps close to unusable in their ugliness | 19:53 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep to remove a virus froma file is very hard so you remove the whole file the same goes for calmAV | 19:53 |
| shawnmstout | what about customization? | 19:53 |
| shawnmstout | im in gnome right now | 19:53 |
| ror | the whole "sense" of where stuff is in their menus makes no sense to me either | 19:53 |
| shawnmstout | ok, 1 more question, is there different themes to gnome? | 19:54 |
| Slart | Tasem: ok... nothing really strange in that file.. it's a mac mini? | 19:54 |
| mobi-sheep | shawnmstout: Yes. | 19:54 |
| shawnmstout | and where is the best place to find these at? | 19:54 |
| Ciros | shawnmstout: goto gnome-look.org | 19:54 |
| shawnmstout | ok | 19:54 |
| Tasem | No, Macbook 5,1. Not pro | 19:54 |
| shawnmstout | thanks guys | 19:54 |
| kvams | nc | 19:54 |
| kvams | Hello | 19:54 |
| shawnmstout | oh and customizing menu options | 19:54 |
| Ciros | shawnmstout: you may need to install additional packages, but it is simple enough | 19:54 |
| byte^ | Menu options? | 19:54 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: if your so concerned about security, you may want to check out the Backtrack Live CD, it has many security tools. I haven't used it yet | 19:54 |
| shawnmstout | i wanted to add my own "shortcut" menu for common tasks that i do | 19:54 |
| kvams | i need help | 19:54 |
| sebsebseb | !details | kvams | 19:55 |
| ubottu | kvams: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 19:55 |
| byte^ | I don't know, personally I am on Crunchbang which combines Openbox and GNOME... Works pretty well. | 19:55 |
| byte^ | Ubuntu by itself should be just as configurable. | 19:55 |
| AVGHelp | sebsebseb i just want a button for avg | 19:55 |
| Tasem | http://pastebin.com/f7b0e40fc | 19:55 |
| Tasem | this would be my xorg.conf | 19:55 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: What is wrong with ClamAV? It's in the repos. Getting it from non-repos only give people more issues. **AND** You're downloading that from somebody you claim to be trustworthy. Do you see where I'm going with this? That's why we have repos. We know it is safe and it does work. | 19:55 |
| Slart | Tasem: ok.. those other logs.. you can try something like this "tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit" .. it will send the last 30 lines from the syslog to a pastebin, just like before | 19:55 |
| shawnmstout | yes, example, i run a tftp/pxe/dhcp/mysql/php/nfs server | 19:55 |
| Ciros | shawnmstout: to be honest i havent tried, though I am sure that there is a way....give me a few minutes and will poke around | 19:55 |
| root1992 | hi I have a problem with the VLC he plays only one second from a DVD (movie) I have Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit and dvdnav libdvdcss | 19:55 |
| shawnmstout | so there are config files i want to access quickly | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: open it from terinal. whatever it's called and hit enter make a shortcut on the desktop for it maybe if you know where it installed | 19:56 |
| shawnmstout | ciros, thanks | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | mobi-sheep: ClavmAV is to Linux like for him :d | 19:56 |
| Kvams | install http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328 and it dosent work :/ | 19:56 |
| Slart | root1992: mm.. dvd's doesn't work for me in jaunty either.. no matter how many decss packages or scripts I install/run | 19:56 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep when i type in clamav in appliacations add remove i get something called virus scanner, and that is a nice scanner but it does not actively run the background and protect me from all my clicks | 19:56 |
| shawnmstout | by adding all of these in 1 common place would make it nice for myself | 19:56 |
| Tasem | http://pastebin.com/f4b914e62 | 19:56 |

| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: What exactly are you trying to do? | 19:56 |
| Strife89 | What's the command for showing what hardware is availible but unmounted? | 19:57 |
| Kvams | install http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328 and it dosent work :/ | 19:57 |

| dylan_ | anyone know how to generate modelines so I get get the full 1280x1024 like my monitor was intended to do ? | 19:57 |
| Tasem | Maybe 30 minutes ago or so now | 19:57 |
| dylan_ | or an app that will auto-detect the video card / screen | 19:57 |
| Strife89 | I want to run fsck on a media player but I'm not sure of its unmounted location. | 19:57 |
| Tasem | Im using my mouse right now so that might be part of it, but otherwise Im not sure | 19:57 |
| shawnmstout | this might sound bad, but im using a suse distro, still the help here is sooooooooo much better, and much more friendlier then other channels, so i hope you dont mind me asking in here even though im not using ubuntu | 19:57 |
| Slart | Tasem: hmm.. try the same command but change 30 to 90 or somethnig like that | 19:57 |
| dylan_ | the max resolution in xubuntu's settings is 1024 x 768 | 19:57 |
| AVGHelp | gordonjcp i downloaded avg anti virus for linux for their web page in then dubble clicked to install it and it installed but it did not create a button in applications accessories and i want a button | 19:58 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: Linux and Windows are entirely different. Windows are *easier* to use and *easier* to get destroyed because linux can be [too] frustrating for some people. | 19:58 |
| Strife89 | What's the command for showing what hardware is available but unmounted? | 19:58 |
| root1992 | Slart :( You give me hope ;) I think I must wait for a update | 19:58 |
| Tasem | http://pastebin.com/f348d2d66 | 19:58 |
| Flannel | shawnmstout: SuSe and Ubuntu are rather different. The help we provide likely won't be able to be useful for you. | 19:58 |
| thiebaude | shawnmstout: np, we are here to help if we can | 19:58 |
| Slart | root1992: mm.. I've tried reinstalling all kinds of packages without any success.. if you find a solution please tell me | 19:59 |
| === brembo is now known as biczd | ||
| shawnmstout | well since this is interface questions, not os questions, i didnt think i would really matter | 19:59 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: I can download a virus and click on it. It cannot touch my system. I attached the virus and sent out to my Windows buddies. They'll face all sort of problems if they run the file. | 19:59 |
| shawnmstout | commands would be different however | 19:59 |
| shawnmstout | but i know the changes there | 19:59 |

| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep i understand you view point all i want is a button mkay | 19:59 |
| Strife89 | Anyone? What's the command for showing what hardware is available but unmounted? | 19:59 |
| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: it's only for servers | 19:59 |
| wildc4rd | is there a separate channel for eeebuntu? or are questions regarding it OK here | 20:00 |
| _Pix | hi | 20:00 |
| Slart | Tasem: ok, we're getting closer.. try.. 180 instead.. | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | wildc4rd: you can ask here | 20:00 |
| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: you might use it to scan files on a server that has MS Windows machines connected to it | 20:00 |
| GNU_D | Hi, my friend has a problem with grub, he just installed win7(I shall kill him for that) and now the mbr is replaced, we tried to reinstall it manually, grub says it's ok, but now grub frezes on boot, is there another way to reinstall grub from the live cd ? | 20:00 |
| shawnmstout | ciros, well i am guessing that i first have to build my interface for the menu, then tie it in | 20:00 |
| Kvams | noen fra norge? | 20:00 |
| Slart | Tasem: it's still just showing the part where you boot up.. starting network cards and such | 20:00 |
| Dr_Willis | cool.. I never knew avg had a free linux version... gotta check it out | 20:00 |
| gordonjcp | !no | Kvams | 20:00 |
| ubottu | Kvams: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: your joking right? | 20:00 |
| Tasem | Allright, i'll set it higher | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: I mean about checking it out? | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | sebsebseb: may as well :) | 20:01 |
| Flannel | wildc4rd: Generally Ubuntu questions here, if you think they may be EEE specific, #ubuntu-eeepc would likely be the best place | 20:01 |
| AVGHelp | gordonjcp are you saying that this link here gives an antivurs program only for servers http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl | 20:01 |
| nmvictor | GNU_D: I could try to help,mind if i PM you? | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | sebsebseb: see if i can put it on a live cd/thumbdrive install as a 'scan moms pc' toolkit | 20:01 |
| GNU_D | nmvictor: go ahead | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: ah for Windows viruses yeah? | 20:01 |
| shawnmstout | ciros, am i right about that? | 20:01 |
| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: can't look at that link just now, no web browser | 20:01 |
| Strife89 | I'll ask one last time. What's the command for showing what hardware is available but unmounted? | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | sebsebseb: of course. :) | 20:01 |
| shawnmstout | cause how can you add something that doesnt exist yet | 20:01 |
| Slart | Strife89: I don't think there is one | 20:02 |
| === radek is now known as Guest9546 | ||
| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: are you running a file server for Windows computers? | 20:02 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: pretty sure I seen you here before, so unlike AVGHelp, you know that Linux viruses well, what Linux virsues? I think there was like one that hit the wild in the past, that would no longer work | 20:02 |
| shawnmstout | unless you can just add in a blank menu item | 20:02 |
| shawnmstout | and build from there | 20:02 |
| Slart | Strife89: that might be the reason you're not getting an answer | 20:02 |
| Strife89 | Slart: Oh. ^^; | 20:02 |
| AVGHelp | gordonjcp ok i dissagree with your statment that it is only for servers because ther eis an instruction page in ubuntu help for isntalling it which did not work for me and i have read about installations of it on the net which also did not work for me ;) | 20:02 |
| Dr_Willis | sebsebseb: i made my own puppy-linux live-cd last year as a 'linux-live-cd-av-scanner-tool' :) to give out to friends.. time i updated it. | 20:02 |
| Tasem | http://pastebin.com/f727d7848 | 20:02 |
| Slart | Strife89: lshw will show you your hardware.. but I don't think you can limit it to just showing stuff that isn't mounted | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: it only makes sense on servers | 20:02 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: I see | 20:03 |
| Xtf | Is the new ubuntu good? | 20:03 |
| Ciros | shawnmstout: indeed, but once it exsists you can click new item, then point to the file. to allow you to open up and what not. | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: sounds like a nice thing to do for friends, but if you converted them to Ubuntu you would probably be an even better friend :d | 20:03 |
| AVGHelp | gordonjcp i am running ubuntu 9.04 on a nromal computer it is the only operating system on this computer and that is all | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | Xtf: it's alright yeah | 20:03 |
| shawnmstout | ciros, ok, just wanted to confirm | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | Xtf: not that differnet from 8.10 | 20:03 |
| Xtf | Jaunty? | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | yes | 20:03 |
| Strife89 | Slart: Basically I just need to find where a piece of hardware is that I've unmounted. | 20:03 |
| Ciros | shawnmstout: it's all good :D | 20:03 |
| shawnmstout | wonder if gnome-look would have any info on it | 20:03 |
| shawnmstout | thanks man | 20:03 |
| Slart | Tasem: still not enough.. go for.. 500 or something | 20:04 |
| AVGHelp | gordonjcp but it provides an active scanner scanner in the background for viruses and that is what i am after | 20:04 |
| mobi-sheep | AVGHelp: You installed the .deb -- Right? It installed successfully or faced a problem at a point? I gave you ALT+F2 --> gksudo avggui and that seems to be working for many on the forum I'm reading right now. | 20:04 |

| box02 | Hi someone help me | 20:04 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep yes | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: as far as I know AVG for Linux only scans for Windows viruses, and Windows viruses won't work on a Linux distro | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: well they might a litlte bit in Wine if you install that, but otherwise no | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | !wine | 20:04 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 20:04 |

| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: you don't need that | 20:05 |
| Charle | Hello? | 20:05 |
| Slart | Strife89: why not start the gnome partition editor and see if you can see the drive there | 20:05 |
| mobi-sheep | gordonjcp: AVGHelp insists... | 20:05 |
| gordonjcp | AVGHelp: you only need to scan for viruses if you're serving files to Windows machines | 20:05 |
| Charle | Anyone here able to read me? | 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | gordonjcp: a few of us have done that for a while with him now, but he won't listen, he must have his AVG shortcut | 20:05 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | Charle | 20:05 |
| ubottu | Charle: 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. :-) | 20:05 |
| Slart | Tasem: sorry for all the pastebinning you have to do.. I really should have picked a higher number to begin with | 20:05 |
| shawnmstout | ohhhh, gnome-look looks like all of the theme are based on ubuntu | 20:05 |

| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep thanks for the effort it is the thought that counts | 20:07 |
| Slart | mobi-sheep: I think the poor guy has been tortured about that enough.. can't we just help him with the menu's if he wants to run AVG? | 20:08 |
| AVGHelp | mobi-sheep there are other antivirus program out ther avast antivirus has an option for linux as well ;) | 20:08 |

| mobi-sheep | GNU_D: "By default, Ubuntu ships with no open ports on public interfaces. In other words, a "port scan" would show all closed ports, nothing open. As a result, putting up a firewall would provide no more security than not putting one up. Remember that open ports provide services that hackers can connect to, and only if they can connect to these services can they be potentially abused and exploited. " | 20:15 |

| ubottu | GNU_D: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server | 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: to get malware installed on Ubuntu you would have to find some rare malware and install it yourself, or get your computer broken into it, and then maybe they do it | 20:15 |
| RedSocrates | gordonjcp: Okay, I'm not sure I know what you mean. Linux viruses certainly can be made, but yes, not using Windows techniques (assuming I understand what you mean by that) | 20:16 |

| shadeslayer | wildc4rd: if its a modded ubuntu distro u might be able to make a bootable pendrive | 20:31 |
| shadeslayer | Pirate_Hunter: gmail drive?? like gmailfs? | 20:31 |

| sebsebseb | AVGHelp: it will probably ask you if you want to run it in terminal or something | 20:37 |

| shadeslayer | meh.... | 20:43 |

| === epcanto is now known as edson | ||
| sebsebseb | matreya6: indeed I know | 20:45 |
| hateball | deany: -i makes cp ask you | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | matreya6: ,but if he gave the link for what he was using, I didn't check it out | 20:46 |
| deany | umm ok | 20:46 |
| shadeslayer | im bored of my emerald theme....can anyone suggest a good one? | 20:46 |
| Slart | Dantix: hm.. the right side pane? is it a normal grey gnome panel? | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | matreya6: well the big issue was getting the luancher working, I still find the way Gnome does launchers after these years a bit hum | 20:47 |
| hateball | deany: that is... "cp -ir /path1 /path2" you'll get prompted if the files being copied from path1 exist on path2 | 20:47 |
| brembo | shadeslayer: black haze 3.0 | 20:47 |
| matreya6 | sebsebseb, yes and the menu editor...Should have scrapped that a long time ago | 20:47 |

| Dantix | Slart: is my first experience qith gnome, the panel shows icons with Home, Network, documents, etc. links | 20:48 |
| matreya6 | Lucas19, What are the symptoms? | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | matreya6: ah yes there's a menu editor, I didn't tell him to use that. the way Windows does it's start menu shortcuts is good, but with Ubuntu you got to go in some odd folder to remove them, and so on | 20:48 |
| deany | it was just my buddy and a newe install of jaunty I did for him.. He`s having the ext4 bug creep up on him now n then, whereas I dont. Fully updated so I dont know what. So i just did cp-av to another folder on root partition, formatted home to ext3 and cp -av back.. no lockups deleting large files now | 20:48 |
| Slart | Dantix: oh.. in the file manager thingy? | 20:48 |
| shadeslayer | brembo: nice | 20:48 |

| matreya6 | Lucas19, do you know what videocard (GPU) you have? | 20:50 |

| Slart | Phlexonance: can you check the syslog and see if it says something about it.. remember the time when it starts using the new dns servers and check the syslog.. | 20:55 |
| Klunk | I cannot find things like wine or ndiswrapper in the repositories for jaunty 64 bit out of the box, should they be available or can I not use them in 64 bit? | 20:55 |

| Slart | Phlexonance: you could always use the "prepend" keyword in the dhclient configuration to add your own dns servers.. try the opendns dns-servers.. | 21:01 |
| stealth- | ienorand: I guess. So we cant even trace malicious users at all? | 21:01 |
| Etanol | usser: yet, there's a gnome plugin to "encrypt" clipboard | 21:01 |
| usser | Etanol, there are tools, that provide that functionality though, like klippy in kde and i forgot the one for gnome | 21:01 |
| Etanol | what that then | 21:01 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: k... wait a sec | 21:01 |
| Phlexonance | slart, or I could manually add the dns servers that I get from my ISP | 21:01 |
| pcfreak30 | anyone have any idea on why i suddenly can install ubuntu.ive done it many times. | 21:01 |
| pcfreak30 | cant | 21:02 |
| Slart | Phlexonance: but yes.. if the dhcp server was doing this for everyone I think they would get a lot of phone calls | 21:02 |
| ChrisTX | is it true by the way that linux does not need any defragmentation? | 21:02 |
| ienorand | stealth-: Tor is not complete, but tracing would mean tracing everyone, not the way to go, imo. | 21:02 |
| Phlexonance | Slart, can you give me a hint on modification of the dhclient configuration so that I add my own static nameservers (which are the ones I SHOULD get from the dhcp anyway) please? | 21:02 |
| Slart | pcfreak30: hmm.. someone has stolen your computer?.. you might want to give us some more details if you want a better answer | 21:02 |
| usser | Etanol, glipper is the one for gnome i believe | 21:02 |
| Kuifje111 | christx, they say it does not need it | 21:03 |
| Slart | ChrisTX: almost.. most of the time, anyways | 21:03 |
| Kuifje111 | but in fact it is not capable of defragging | 21:03 |
| Kuifje111 | but your HDD is slowly decaying | 21:03 |

| FlightlessDuck | your HDD is always decaying | 21:03 |
| deany | ChrisTX, cant speak for JFS or ReiserFS or XFS, but my EXT3/4 partitions dont get very fragmented.. | 21:03 |
| Slart | Phlexonance: sure.. it's .. /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf .. "gksudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf" | 21:03 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: so make sure that neither sdb1, sdc1 nor sdd1 are mounted. then run <sudo mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1> taht is | 21:03 |
| stealth- | ienorand: k, thanks for the info | 21:03 |
| mneptok | Kuifje111: all hard disks are slowly dying all the time, no matter what OS you use. | 21:03 |
| FlightlessDuck | exactally | 21:04 |
| warlockzombie65 | herro | 21:04 |
| Kuifje111 | but linux fastens the process | 21:04 |
| ChrisTX | deany, but how do they evade fragmentation? | 21:04 |
| mneptok | Kuifje111: not true | 21:04 |
| FlightlessDuck | windows does too | 21:04 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: :) | 21:04 |
| FlightlessDuck | and so does mac 10 | 21:04 |

| usser | Kuifje111, it defrags during fsck, which are scheduled once every 40-50 reboots | 21:04 |
| Kuifje111 | it is not able to defrag therefore it requires to cycle more and more, which leads to an earlier death | 21:04 |
| Slart | Phlexonance: then you add a line with "prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;".. change the 127.0.0.1 to the opendns dns servers.. hang on.. I'll get the ip's | 21:04 |

| pcfreak30 | slart: seriously. i tried usuing a custom partition layout. ive used usb-creator with 8.04.2 iso off mit lab. redonloaded too. used a cd and usb drive. still i get an i/o input/output read error. ive reinstalled many times too. | 21:04 |
| LjL | usser: no it doesn't | 21:04 |
| mneptok | Kuifje111: your assertion shows a distinct lack of kno | 21:04 |
| warlockzombie65 | I tried ls /home then passwd but it didn't work | 21:04 |
| usser | LjL, it doesnt? | 21:04 |
| Phlexonance | slart, no need I have mine | 21:04 |
| Klunk | OK guys, I have an AMD64 bit processor, but what advantages does 64bit ubuntu give me over 32bit? | 21:05 |
| ChrisTX | honestly said | 21:05 |
| mneptok | *knowledge | 21:05 |
| Slart | Phlexonance: ok | 21:05 |
| LjL | usser: no. i don't know where you got that idea from. | 21:05 |
| deany | its funny, just rebooting windows fragments the partition. I defragged the lot, even pagefile, and rebooted and went back and pagefile was all over the place. | 21:05 |
| ChrisTX | ext4 will rather cause you to loose data instead of something else | 21:05 |
| ChrisTX | lmao | 21:05 |
| pcfreak30 | no error code really, im ob live ubuntu atm | 21:05 |

| ChrisTX | sorry, typo | 21:05 |
| Janku | guys. i can't seem to install grub on my parition, i get error 22 , tells me my partition doesn't exists ... any idea ? | 21:05 |
| ienorand | Also, afaik, ext uses smarter methods for writing to the disk in the first place... | 21:05 |
| stealth- | Klunk: I think you need to run 64 bit to support your process. Im pretty sure it just plain wont work on 32. Not sure, though | 21:05 |
| FlightlessDuck | just moniter their computer use | 21:05 |
| Phlexonance | slart, ok so what now? restart dhclient (somehow=) ? | 21:05 |
| ChrisTX | however, ext4's cached writing is a serious success | 21:06 |
| tyler_d1 | MiladKhajavi: research hosts.... ie. by editing /etc/hosts this can be done, as well there are probably other utils for this purpose | 21:06 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: paste the error ... you might have to reboot if the kernel did not get the new partition table | 21:06 |
| gbCerberus | but is there a linux defragmentation tool? do you even need to worry about it? | 21:06 |

| ChrisTX | oh awesome | 21:06 |
| usser | LjL, hehe | 21:06 |
| Slart | pcfreak30: hmm..I can't really think of a reason just like that.. i/o errors usually mean something is broken cd/usb stick or whatever.. can you test the media in some other system? | 21:06 |
| ChrisTX | does "why would I use ubuntu" count as support question? | 21:06 |
| stealth- | ChrisTX: no | 21:07 |
| MiladKhajavi | tyler_d1: can you introduce some of these utils? | 21:07 |
| Slart | Phlexonance: well.. a simple "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" would do it.. it will kill the irc connection though | 21:07 |
| LjL | gbCerberus: there isn't a "linux" defragmentation tool - it depends on which filesystem you use. there is currently no ext3 defragmentation tool in Ubuntu. there used to be one. | 21:07 |
| Klunk | OK, any ideas how I get my Linksys (Broadcom) wireless card to work under 64bit Jaunty? What is the name of the ndiswrapper package I should install if I cant use a ntaive driver? | 21:07 |

| gbCerberus | thanks LjL | 21:07 |
| LjL | ChrisTX: not really | 21:07 |
| Slart | ChrisTX: not really.. but ask the people in #ubuntu-ot.. they like that kind of stuff | 21:07 |
| pcfreak30 | slart: this is a fresk usb 4 gig. ive used it at school on windoxe and mycomputer. it works fine. less than a month old | 21:07 |

| Klunk | lspci shows the card but I cant configure it to work | 21:07 |
| Phlexonance | slart, I'm confused, almost all of the stuff in dhclient.conf seems to be commented out, all the "alias" and "lease" configuration, why is that? | 21:07 |
| pcfreak30 | the cd gives the error | 21:07 |
| pcfreak30 | too | 21:08 |
| deany | ext4 is supposed to have online defrag feature | 21:08 |
| deany | never looked into it tho | 21:08 |

| lenswipe | how to samba domain controller | 21:08 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: ah... thee | 21:08 |
| Phlexonance | slart, ah I see, well thanks a lot, I hope it works | 21:08 |
| Slart | Phlexonance: give it a try.. good luck | 21:08 |
| stealth- | deany: AFAIK, ext* doesnt need defragging because of the way it stores data. | 21:08 |
| tyler_d1 | MiladKhajavi: unaware of any... I would suggest google | 21:08 |
| lenswipe | could one of you guys give me a hand here with a samba domain controller | 21:09 |
| MrElendig | stealth-: wrong | 21:09 |
| olmari | hello | 21:09 |
| lenswipe | some of the users cant logon | 21:09 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: ah... there's already some superblock info found on some of the partitions | 21:09 |
| lenswipe | anyone got any ideas? | 21:09 |
| stealth- | MrElendig: then why is there no defragging talk for ext? | 21:09 |
| lenswipe | i can logon perfectly | 21:09 |
| LjL | stealth-: there is. | 21:09 |
| === Stooooge is now known as stooge | ||
| lenswipe | but when my dad comes to logon it says that it cant locate his roaming profile | 21:09 |
| MrElendig | stealth-: guess what, ext4 is getting a online defragger | 21:09 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: does sudo mdadm --detail --scan show any array already running ? | 21:09 |
| lenswipe | does anyone know how to fix this | 21:09 |
| Slart | pcfreak30: hmm.. well.. I haven't seen a lot of those i/o errors that didn't end up being the install media.. not really sure where to start looking | 21:09 |
| olmari | Would there be any possibility to have "server" as type-in selection in mini.iso installation? | 21:09 |
| deany | I just read somewhere it had the ability.. never said it neededit | 21:09 |
| lenswipe | also the usernames have a heap of commas after them | 21:09 |
| joeDeuce | anyone know if NetworkManager has support for RNDIS USB ICS, or is it a kernel module, or what? | 21:09 |
| deany | needed it* | 21:09 |
| lenswipe | how do i sort this out and get rid of the commans? | 21:10 |
| lenswipe | commas* | 21:10 |
| stealth- | MrElendig | LjL: okay, then. Ill take your word for it :) | 21:10 |
| lenswipe | can someone help me with this please | 21:10 |
| LjL | stealth-: it's called "defrag". it just isn't included in current versions of Ubuntu, and it had/has issues with ext3 (as opposed to ext2) | 21:10 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active. | 21:10 |
| LjL | stealth-: it was included in older versions of Ubuntu. | 21:10 |
| === Cory is now known as Cory` | ||
| Slart | ext3 can get fragmented.. but it's not really a big problem unless the fs is almost full.. | 21:10 |
| deany | if I HAD to defrag, i`d just copy files to somewhere else, format it and copy em back. | 21:10 |
| stealth- | Slart: is it the same for windows, then? | 21:11 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: i see... so mdadm thinks there's already a (broken) array ... | 21:11 |
| mneptok | and ext3 takes steps to self-heal any fragmentation, obviating the need for defragging tools | 21:11 |
| Phlexonance | Slart, it worked, I hope it keeps working without my further doing =) thanks a lot ! have a nice evening (or whatever your timezone says) | 21:11 |
| prappl93 | How do I bridge two connections together? | 21:11 |
| Slart | stealth-: no, ext3 is a bit more clever about where it puts the file blocks compared to ntfs.. | 21:11 |
| stealth- | Slart: ah. okay. I was partially correct, then | 21:11 |
| stealth- | Slart: thanks | 21:11 |

| matreya6 | lenswipe, I'm not familiar with Samba configuration, but comma's without spaces generally mean empty fields in a configuration file. They are quite common. just take a look at /etc/passwd | 21:12 |
| stealth- | deany: what does the non-contiguous mean, anyways? | 21:12 |
| lenswipe | matreya6: not sure what you mean... | 21:12 |
| lenswipe | matreya6: empty feilds in a configuration file? | 21:12 |
| Slart | stealth-: I've only heard of people having fragmentation problems with almost full drives that have files written, deleted, grown constantly.. mail queues and such.. | 21:12 |
| Slart | stealth-: but if you keep at least 10% free space you wont see any problems for a long time | 21:13 |
| deany | fragmented | 21:13 |
| stealth- | Slart: ah okay. I was wondering why there was no talk about defrag often here. Yeah, I got a huge harddisk I hardly use any part of. | 21:13 |
| stealth- | deany: so is it still usable memory thats just spread out? | 21:14 |
| bullgard4 | I would like to test Empathy voice chat. Who would help me in establishing an Empathy voice communication? | 21:14 |
| matreya6 | lenswipe, yes. Just look at /etc/passwd for an example. Human users generally have a home directory. Users made for servers have none because they do not login to the system, so the field normally used for home directory is empty, showing as (...,,...) | 21:14 |
| deany | contiguous means a file is in 1 place... non-contiguous means its spread out | 21:15 |
| lenswipe | matreya6: no but what im talking about is the username on the start menu | 21:15 |
| lenswipe | matreya6: instaed of it saying "John Smith" it says "John Smith,,,,,," | 21:15 |
| lenswipe | matreya6: like that | 21:15 |
| stealth- | is it relatively safe to upgrade to ext4 from ext3? | 21:15 |

| matreya6 | lenswipe, sorry, can't help you with that since I'm not familiar with Samba config. | 21:15 |

| lenswipe | can someone help me with samba please | 21:16 |
| magician0617 | stealth: it is safe | 21:16 |
| stealth- | magician0617: cool. Does it do it automatically on the upgrade? I upgraded, but im not sure if Im using ext4 or not... | 21:16 |
| slonce555 | bry | 21:17 |
| matreya6 | lenswipe, I would be suprised if there was no dedicated channel to samba, probably called #samba, best try your luck there | 21:17 |
| nmvictor | stealth-:i hate to intrude,is their a way that i could do that,upgrade from ext3 to ext4 without a fresh install and are their necessary precautions? | 21:17 |
| stealth- | nmvictor: Im trying to learn that myself :) | 21:17 |
| lenswipe | matreya6: there is (#samba) problem is, ive been posting in there since maybe about 2:00 uk time and its now 21:17 uk time | 21:17 |
| matreya6 | nmvictor, For any change to your file system, backup your critical files and documents. It's common sense | 21:18 |
| lenswipe | matreya6: there is literally nobody there at all | 21:18 |
| stealth- | nmvictor: I think I found something: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ext3-to-ext4-without-formatting-the-hard-disk/2009/04/21 | 21:18 |

| Klunk | guys, I keep getting a message to unlock my keyring but I am not sure if I am putting the correct password in, is there a way to reset it? | 21:21 |
| matreya6 | Klunk, if you haven't changed the root password, it should be the same password as you use for normal login | 21:22 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: this means the system in the initramfs doesn't find a raid array. if you ctrl-d or exit that shell booting continues ? | 21:22 |
| nmvictor | Klunk: I think the passwd is usually your accounts password,probably the sudoers passwd | 21:22 |
| eseven73 | what's the unzip command to make a zip file unzip to a certain directory instead of the one it sits in? | 21:22 |
| Klunk | it just shows me the same box again when I type that in | 21:22 |
| nmvictor | eseven73 gzip <file.zip> /path/to/directory | 21:23 |

| irgendwer | exit | 21:23 |
| eseven73 | nmvictor, for unzipping? | 21:23 |
| === asqwe is now known as kalakouentin | ||
| eseven73 | oh I think it's -d /path/to/directory | 21:24 |
| tyler_d1 | whoever that is for unzip eseven73 its unzip -d /path/do/dir name-of-zip.zip | 21:25 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: bah ... the system doesn't find it's root fs, althought it's not on a raid. is there a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf on your system already ? | 21:25 |
| nmvictor | eseven73: doesnt gunzip unzip zipped file?i thought thats the command | 21:25 |
| matreya6 | Klunk, Sorry I don't know how to reset that passwd if you have lost it. You should be able to do that with root rights, but I do not know how. Try reading the docs/ manpages | 21:25 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: have to restart to get back to prompt to find out..... frozen there | 21:26 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: might be easier to boot to recovery mode | 21:26 |

| eseven73 | yea it's sudo unzip -d /path/to/DIFFERENT_directory zipfile.zip thanks guys :D | 21:27 |

| distatica | Hey folks, I was running 8.10 workstation on my laptop for some time with no issues at all. Due to some unexpected circumstances I ended up reinstalling with the only disk I could find a link to, 9.04. Problem is, I have problems in a few areas of importance. One I can't seem to install OpenVZ kernels -- which is a deal killer for me since I require it for work. Two, I had to revert my Intel video drivers just to get video to work, and three wh | 21:36 |
| dylan_ | Slart does the modeline go under "monitor" or "screen" ? | 21:36 |
| === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam | ||
| distatica | Where can I find a link to 8.10 again, or is this completely dropped now? | 21:36 |
| racecar56 | Slart: yay it supports XP ntfs :D (it is really old data from the days i used windows, 40G hard drive) | 21:36 |
| Slart | dylan_: here are some examples.. http://www.viajes-abaco.com/m400a/xorg_conf.htm | 21:36 |
| distatica | Or if someone can point me to working instructions for openvz + 9.04 I wouldn't mind staying with the system I've got right now. | 21:36 |
| de2652 | distatica, I think you can only get 8.04 | 21:36 |
| mikebeecham | Dr_Willis, would you mind me hitting you up on PM, so I can get this clear in my head? | 21:36 |
| matreya6 | Klunk, Yes, that's the one. | 21:37 |
| Klunk | matreya6 I can see the card under iwconfig, but I cant bring it up with ifconfig | 21:37 |
| Slart | racecar56: yes it does.. and a whole bunch of other formats.. | 21:37 |
| mrwes | distatica, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 21:37 |
| de2652 | distatica, most people prefer 8.04 over 8.10, it's faster and less buggy | 21:37 |
| eXeC001er | nmvictor: Downloading was suspended, after it begins first. | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: i got PM's normally disabled. you could pop into #puppylinux :) im in there also with a few other people. we are always glad to help ubuntu stuff.. | 21:37 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: cannot touch /boot/initrd.img......... permission denied | 21:37 |
| mikebeecham | on my way | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: plus i may have to run away at any time.. to help the wife | 21:37 |
| matreya6 | Klunk, check you logs for clues why it won't go up. | 21:37 |
| distatica | de2652: I didn't, not for a desktop. I found 8.04 to be a PITA while 8.10 ran flawlessly and worked with everything out of the box. | 21:38 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: nm.... sudo | 21:38 |
| mrwes | distatica, same here. 8.10 was much better on my laptop than 8.04 | 21:38 |
| de2652 | distatica, Well, 8.10 had a newer kernel meaning more drivers | 21:38 |
| racecar56 | Slart: intel/pc partition table means msdos, right? | 21:38 |
| dylan_ | in those examples, Slart , it shows "horizsync", instead of Horizrefresh, are they the same thing ? | 21:38 |
| sburwood | question #1 ; with a desktop and 8.10, what do I need to do to remove the choices of some kernels that don't work for me (2.6.28 just doesn't work with my computer) | 21:39 |
| nmvictor | eXeC001er: were you doing the upgrade from the terminal?im afraid you are not giving enough info on your issue | 21:39 |
| Klunk | matreya6 the command says 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory' | 21:39 |
| racecar56 | Slart: according to gparted the partition table was a msdos | 21:39 |
| Slart | racecar56: not sure.. it's a good guess though | 21:39 |
| dylan_ | Slart, there is horizsync and vertrefresh | 21:39 |
| sburwood | I can only get 2.6.27 to run on the computer | 21:39 |
| racecar56 | Slart: that is what i chose, im pretty shure thats it | 21:39 |
| distatica | mrwes: see, nothing but problems since, I tried to install downthemall in firefox 3.0 and FF hung. Now my download window is all screwed up. Now I tried to open that link you gave me and it says firefox is not responding (it is to me) and will need to be restarted. Sillyness. | 21:39 |
| racecar56 | Slart: it didnt find the data yeat | 21:39 |
| TJ-42 | Can 9.04 be installed with an encrypted home directory ? | 21:39 |
| distatica | Sure this -might- be all me, but all I can say is me was fine for 8.10 but me apparently isn't so great for 9.04 | 21:39 |
| racecar56 | Slart: *yet | 21:39 |
| eXeC001er | nmvictor: no, i use Synaptic. | 21:39 |
| chang-li | hi all, i'm trying to use cabextract in a nautilus script with file-ident. but it is not recognized. How to edit file ident magic number? | 21:40 |
| gletob | Can anyone do me a favor and post their /boot/grub/menu.lst to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/? | 21:40 |
| Belenos | Hi | 21:40 |
| Slart | dylan_: I haven't done this in at least 2 years.. you could check "man xorg.conf" for some up to date info | 21:40 |
| mrwes | distatica, you need a direct link to the 8.10 desktop torrent file? | 21:40 |
| racecar56 | Slart: 73% | 21:40 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: you need to mount sda1 to the rescue system and then chroot to it... like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ,mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc, mind -o bind /sys, /mnt/sys sudo chroot /mnt | 21:40 |
| distatica | mrwes: I would love that, can start from CLI then | 21:40 |
| racecar56 | Slart: it will need to get to 38165 at finish | 21:40 |
| mrwes | hold | 21:40 |
| dylan_ | ok will do | 21:40 |
| chazco | Hi... anyone know where I can get eGalax_drv.so for Ubuntu 9.04? | 21:40 |
| nmvictor | sburwood:you would use synaptic to remove them completely or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst so that it is not reflect but that will still keep it installed. | 21:41 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: *mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys taht is | 21:41 |
| Slart | racecar56: just let it run.. | 21:41 |
| sburwood | nmvictor, I will try synaptic | 21:41 |
| Klunk | matreya6 I checked /var/log/messages and nothing but there is a message about Cannot find firmware file 'b43/ucode5.fw' earlier isnt b43 the native one and I need to blacklist that? | 21:41 |

| gletob | Can anyone do me a favor and post their /boot/grub/menu.lst to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/? | 21:41 |
| nmvictor | eXeC001er: any error messages,or the download of upgrades just stopped immediately? | 21:42 |
| guntbert | gletob: what is your problem? | 21:42 |
| isaac_ | I keep having this problem with new Ubuntu installs and Synaptic, ever since 8.10. I tick all repos, add medibuntu, hit reload........ but I still can't find wine, xchat, any of my favorite apps in Synaptic. | 21:42 |
| matreya6 | Klunk, ah, that message is much more helpful :-) | 21:42 |
| racecar56 | Slart: my username was ubuntu_ because im on a live cd, as my main hdd is going nuts too | 21:42 |
| isaac_ | How do you get synaptic to see the packages in universe and multiverse? | 21:42 |
| racecar56 | Slart: still works, though, btw im using a laptop | 21:42 |
| gletob | Guntbert: I just need a working one as a reference. | 21:42 |
| CarlFK | where can I get libdirectfb-1.2-0 ? | 21:42 |
| mindrape | isaac_ edit your /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:43 |
| racecar56 | CarlFK: sudo apt-file search libdirectfb-1.2-0 | 21:43 |
| chazco | Hi... anyone using Ubuntu 9.04 with an eeepc/wind solderless touchscreen (eGalax)... if so, how do you get it to work? | 21:43 |
| TJ-42 | I remember reading that Ubuntu 9.04 had an option to make your home directory encrypted. How do I do this? | 21:43 |
| mindrape | isaac_ once its edited and you've uncommented the lines you can run sudo apt-get update then they will be enabled | 21:43 |
| matreya6 | Klunk, it tells you, you need to download the firmware and put it at the required location before this will work. | 21:43 |

| distatica | oops, that was my son, sorry. | 21:43 |
| mrwes | that's a direct d/l link | 21:43 |
| racecar56 | CarlFK: apt-file isnt installed by default so it might say "The program 'apt-file' is currently not installed." or "Command not found" | 21:43 |
| distatica | thank you mrwes | 21:43 |
| isaac_ | mindrape whatever happened to 8.04's doing that automatically when you hit reload in synaptic? | 21:43 |
| mrwes | wait..that' the alternate | 21:43 |
| mrwes | damn | 21:43 |
| isaac_ | And how do you edit sources list? What do you edit in it? | 21:44 |
| mindrape | isaac_ you can do that too probably. I live in the command line though... its just easier. ;) | 21:44 |
| mrwes | http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso | 21:44 |
| eXeC001er | nmvictor: No errors. Downloading speed changes to 0 and suspend. After start automatic, but from null position. | 21:44 |
| racecar56 | isaac_: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:44 |
| mindrape | isaac_ ALT + F2 gksudo gedit | 21:44 |
| isaac_ | mindrape no, you can't do it that way. I tried. Ever since 8.10 it doesn't work anymore. | 21:44 |
| distatica | mrwes: perfect, thanks | 21:44 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: mounted to /tmp/drive | 21:44 |
| mindrape | isaac_ or if you want to jump in the command line you can do what racecar56 typed | 21:44 |
| mrwes | distatica, sure np | 21:44 |
| mindrape | isaac_ apt-get hasn't changed in functionality between releases... ;) | 21:45 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: and then....? | 21:45 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: jumped ahead... update-initramfs -u | 21:45 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: now should I bounce it again? | 21:45 |
| racecar56 | mindrape: there is an alt+f1, and no display found happens. only works in terminal emulators | 21:45 |
| distatica | Does wget support resume if the download fails? | 21:45 |
| mindrape | racecar56 - alt+f2 = run command. | 21:45 |
| mrwes | distatica, and here's the md5sum 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03 *ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso | 21:45 |
| stefg | tyler_d1: yup, you should at least have a bootable sda1 again now | 21:45 |
| isaac_ | mindrape apparently it has. The bugger is that if I sudo apt-get install xchat it sees it fine. But the Synaptic search function can't find anything. | 21:45 |

| ShexNivis | Hey guys, was hoping someone could help me out, when I go to text mode CTRL+ALT + F1, My keyboard input is in arabic so I can't type anything in english or even log in. In the graphic mode the keyboard layout is fine, just in the text mode that its messed up. Any ideas how can I fix it? | 22:00 |

| darkenigma2652 | matreya6: XP on this machine works quite well (mainly because I added lots of page filing and maintain it), but the WiFi has been a BI*** lately | 22:01 |
| GreenDelta2 | i installed a complete new serve with LAMP configuration (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and because its just for local usage i didnt set any passwords. now i try to connect via phpmyadmin to my databases but if i try root as username and without password i just get "Acces denied!" | 22:01 |
| darkenigma2652 | matreya6: They want to get another computer because this one is old anyway, but I think a system re-install and a new screen+keyboard is all we need | 22:01 |

| ubottu | GreenDelta2: 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 | 22:02 |

| wind0pain | anyone know how i can set power mode to powersave at startup on 9.04/gnome? the command "cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g powersave" does it but if i put that in /etc/init.d/rc.local or in Startup Applications, it does not seem to work... | 22:04 |
| matreya6 | darkenigma2652, Yes, totally configurable and good help, especially Arch. Due to a bug it won't run well in VirtualBox, but there's a workaround... | 22:04 |
| ralze | hm. maybe I have to be more specific: conky starts up fine, when invoced in the terminal. In the System>Preferences>Startup Applications dialog, I added an item, clicked "add" entered "Conky System Monitor" for name and tried "/usr/bin/conky" and "conky" for command. | 22:04 |

| th0r | homeskillet: iwconfig | 22:22 |
| mzz | racecar56: (bit of a disadvantage to wine having all of / mapped to z: now) | 22:22 |

| vigo | racecar56: Thank you, I was also trying to avoid that, it does not really work. I did look at something called Caldega? but I am clueless to that software . | 22:24 |

| wind0pain | lstarnes: i see. | 22:25 |

| chnguy | winxp has been a pain... and also avg is another... they seem not to recognise a problem with my new system... even cmd/regedit wont work... i tried all tricks... i have been successful all the time...but this time avg failed... | 22:25 |
| JoshuaP0x | is there a better chan for newb questions? | 22:25 |
| JoshuaP0x | like getting my GFX card the right drivers? | 22:26 |
| homeskillet | th0r ifconfig only shows eth0 and lo | 22:26 |
| Slart | JoshuaP0x: this is the preferred channel if you're running ubuntu | 22:26 |
| homeskillet | no ip for eth0 | 22:26 |
| th0r | homeskillet: well...this is old knowledge and may not work anymore...try 'sudo ifup eth1' (assuming the wireless card was eth1) | 22:26 |
| chnguy | ok, i will take a chance and kill winxp...let me see.... if ubuntu goes, it goes.... i will remain to say that... | 22:27 |

| prassyy | lstarnes: well thanks but could you please enlighten me as to which file is read in order to deliver that? | 22:30 |
| vigo | Thank you | 22:30 |
| homeskillet | th0r i'm logged into my router right now on my desktop computer which is on the same network (the one im irc'ing from) and everything seems fine. i dont know why the internet just magically stopped workin in ubuntu | 22:30 |
| fitemashine | what does that mean and what should i do? | 22:30 |
| lstarnes | prassyy: there is no particular file | 22:30 |
| homeskillet | th0r yeah was workin for months | 22:30 |
| Slart | GreenDelta2: ok.. if you go to system, administration, hardware drivers.. what do you see? | 22:30 |
| th0r | homeskillet: do you have auto updates turned on....might have been an update that killed it | 22:30 |
| vigo | JoushuaPOx: Check that ubotto site that was just posted. | 22:30 |
| justis | I'm having strange problems with my mouse under Jaunty. Works fine under Intrepid. In Jaunty, it sometimes doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and at other points responds to locations way different than where I clicked. Sometimes, it also stops responding to alt-tab requests. | 22:30 |
| homeskillet | th0r no but ive been doing updates everytime they come out | 22:30 |
| prassyy | lstarnes: well ty -- i guess i just need to read a lot regarding this | 22:30 |
| th0r | homeskillet: then again.....the wireless card might have died | 22:31 |
| chnguy | i find none answers me.... should i wait or lament again?! | 22:31 |
| lstarnes | prassyy: there are also tools like lsusb, lspci, and lshw | 22:31 |
| JoshuaP0x | vigo: will do. Thanks. | 22:31 |
| Jeruvy | justis: you sure it isn't a hardware problem? (ie: tried another mouse) | 22:31 |
| badfish69 | is there anything i can run like md5sum that will work on a directory instead of a single file? i don't have the tolerance to do it for 3000 different files in 2 locations | 22:31 |
| justis | Jeruvy: same mouse works fine on the Ubuntu 8.10 system that's connected to the same KVM | 22:31 |
| Slart | badfish69: md5sums can be run recirsively on folders | 22:31 |
| Jeruvy | justis: what type of kvm? | 22:32 |
| homeskillet | th0r i wish i would have dual booted ubuntu and windows on my computer that way i could find out easily if it was the operating system that's to blame and not the hardware | 22:32 |
| prassyy | lstarnes: im very new to linux have no idea regarding such tools --- i just might start reading about linux design | 22:32 |
| justis | Jeruvy: interestingly, I can observe the mouse input with 'xev' and what xev sees is exactly the same thing that matches the behavior ... sometimes it doesn't even see a click | 22:32 |
| th0r | homeskillet: My next step would be to see if the correct module had loaded (lsmod), but I have no idea what module to look for | 22:32 |
| lstarnes | prassyy: the graphical hardware info program uses information provided by hal | 22:32 |
| justis | Jeruvy: it's a TrendNet 2 port USB KVM | 22:32 |

| th0r | homeskillet: I just installed it...just got back to linux after a year or so with a virus called vista | 22:34 |
| homeskillet | th0r yeah i have vista on my desktop | 22:34 |

| fitemashine | Aight, so when config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist what do i need to do? | 22:35 |
| JoshuaP0x | that site didnt help me | 22:35 |
| wind0pain | homeskillet: linux isn't for everybody yet. | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | wind0pain: i say the same thing about WIndows. :) | 22:36 |
| Slart | badfish69: ok, and you want a checksum to see if everything was backup or properly? | 22:36 |
| homeskillet | i'm a programmer so linux is for me | 22:36 |
| badfish69 | bingo | 22:36 |
| homeskillet | it's worth the troubleshooting | 22:36 |
| wind0pain | homeskillet: i complain and moan quite a bit using it too. in the end, if it's taking too much from you, switch back until either you're ready or linux is ready. | 22:36 |
| justis | Jeruvy: perhaps the problem *is* with the KVM. I can't understand why it would work on Intrepid, but not on Jaunty. Having it working again is more important than a perfect solution, though. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction ;) | 22:36 |
| wind0pain | Dr_Willis: granted. different tools for different people. | 22:36 |
| justis | Jeruvy: it works fine when plugged in directly. | 22:36 |
| th0r | homeskillet: I found the stability and performance are much better in xfce than in gnome or kde | 22:36 |
| badfish69 | if i recursively run md5 on the folder, and output to a text file, then the text file's md5 should give me enough to go on right? | 22:36 |
| tyler_d1 | stefg: very frustrated... this is simply not working... I don't want to start over again, however I am unsure what else to do | 22:36 |
| Jeruvy | justis: hey, glad to nudge :) | 22:36 |

| Jeruvy | justis: If for sure it is send me a note :) | 22:37 |
| JoshuaP0x | I'm having trouble getting the right drivers to work with it | 22:37 |
| justis | th0r and homeskillet: I think that fluxbox is work a look, too | 22:37 |
| JoshuaP0x | anyone have any suggestions? | 22:37 |
| wind0pain | personally, i'll keep running linux b/c i hate vista and XP isn't available on new PCs (i don't count netbooks) and also because i love the windows-present and desktop switcher features (have tried running third-party in windows, no comparison) | 22:37 |
| homeskillet | wind0pain linux may never be 'ready'. if i thought that 10 years ago i'd still not be using it. i remember in 97 when people were still sayin 'come back when it's ready'. still wasnt ready in 2000, then i came back in 2004 with debian and it finally seemed pretty good, still far from perfect, then ubuntu 8.10 finally got me back for good but it's still failing | 22:37 |
| homeskillet | so here goes jaunty, i'll install it today | 22:37 |
| station6 | how do I install kernel sources for intrepid | 22:37 |
| justis | Jeruvy: if I'm sure that it works under Intrepid, but not under Jaunty and that it's related to the KVM ... you want me to send you a note? Why? | 22:37 |
| th0r | homeskillet: I don't want it ready....it is my geek escape | 22:38 |
| === newbie_ is now known as nightrid3r | ||
| Slart | badfish69: why not run something like this, use cd to go to the parent folder of the one you want to check.. | 22:38 |
| wind0pain | homeskillet: i typically try it out once every five years... it feels just as much of a pain to me today as it did 5 years ago but 5 years ago i wasn't face with being bent over and accepting Vista sucking the life out of my new tablet | 22:38 |
| Jeruvy | justis: most of the 2port kvms I use are dlink but trendnet has become moreso more recently. I think it's pretty decent stuff but always curious about hardware related issues | 22:38 |
| prassyy | does anyone know how to list available wireless networks from console ? | 22:38 |
| vigo | chnguy: I would download an ISO of whatever version you like, then reformat the drive, then install fresh. (I went out of the windoze three years ago) have not missed a thing except a bunch of aggrivations. | 22:38 |
| Slart | badfish69: then run "md5deep -re ./thefolder > thefolder.md5".. you'll get a file with filenames and hashes | 22:38 |
| Ego-Ale-Sum | hello | 22:38 |
| station6 | How know how to install kernel sources? | 22:39 |
| wind0pain | homeskillet: but you are right- it may never be ready. until linux is able to get the hardware support that windows gets, it will always be a bit behind... sucks. | 22:39 |
| badfish69 | and then get a hash of the file? | 22:39 |
| Slart | badfish69: you can then use that file with md5sum.. such as "md5sum -c thefolder.md5" and it will check each file and report the ones that are missing on broken | 22:39 |
| vaarp | is there any way to upgrade a certain package via aptitude? I've checked the man page but full-upgrade and safe-upgrade upgrades all the packages in the system, not a certain one.. thanks | 22:39 |
| Ego-Ale-Sum | I've got a problem.... I'm using an ubuntu testing server, and I need to use gettext with PHP. however, when I try setting the site in italian (it_IT), gettext doesn't work.

| vigo | yaris1234567889: -rm or something like that, but to shred, well there are packages that do that also. purge is another way. | 22:42 |

| paco | in my pc | 22:50 |
| Slart | paco: type !vm for more info on that | 22:50 |
| Slart | paco: then no.. you can't install windows xp from ubuntu.. you'll have to reboot using the windows install cd | 22:50 |
| JustSomething | !vm | 22:51 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 22:51 |

| Slart | !xmms | 22:52 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 22:52 |

| shawnmstout | i did make a backup on another partition of the whole thing though | 22:53 |
| Slart | wind0pain: it's not that hard.. burn a live cd.. reinstall grub.. 2 minute job | 22:53 |
| shawnmstout | but i cant mount it | 22:53 |
| Slart | wind0pain: see !grub for more info | 22:53 |
| shawnmstout | cause /bin is missing | 22:53 |

| Slart | grkgeek: most people would say it's the other way around.. that it's not recommended for ubuntu/linux | 22:57 |
| BoomShaka | why do some channels have two #'s before their names? | 22:57 |
| th0r | shawnmstout: every little program that linux needs is in bin....the cp, mv, mkdir commands for instance | 22:57 |
| th0r | shawnmstout: so even if you found the deleted files...linux no longer knows how to copy them back | 22:57 |
| Slart | grkgeek: if you want you can install rkhunter to search for the most common root kits.. that will catch some bad stuff if you should ever run into it | 22:57 |
| vigo | shawnastout: A bunch of stuff in that, but dpkg can repackage it and effect repairs, https://help.ubuntu.com/search.html?cof=FORID%3A9&cx=003883529982892832976%3Ae2vwumte3fq&ie=UTF-8&q=%2Fbin&sa=Search | 22:57 |
| shawnmstout | so how am i still running | 22:58 |
| Slart | BoomShaka: official channels have on #.. two ## are for all the other stuff | 22:58 |
| grkgeek | Slart: thank you m8 | 22:58 |
| th0r | shawnmstout: so long as you don't call those programs you are ok. Try using synaptic or dpkg like vigo suggested | 22:58 |
| Slart | shawnmstout: linux keeps a copy in memory.. that is what you're using right now | 22:58 |
| BoomShaka | Slart, i see. thanks | 22:58 |
| hacktolive | grkgeek: no need for that, programs are hard to run on linux, so it is very hard to be infect by a linux virus, and very few virus exist | 22:58 |
| shawnmstout | slart, thor, ok, so is it better to not reboot at the moment then? | 22:59 |
| shawnmstout | and try to fix it while im here? | 22:59 |
| Slart | shawnmstout: well.. unless you enjoy reinstalling =) | 22:59 |
| th0r | shawnmstout: definitely....a reboot will wipe any chance you have <smile> | 22:59 |
| shawnmstout | slart, would rather not | 22:59 |
| grkgeek | hacktolive: maybe im just paranoin due to my frequented exposure to microsoft systems | 22:59 |

| Guest58190 | no sees ipod and kngston drives a si said | 23:13 |
| losher | !ask | ayena | 23:13 |
| ubottu | ayena: 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. :-) | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | !details | ayena | 23:13 |
| ubottu | ayena: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:13 |
| rob235 | im trying to configure ffmpeg and a website im lookin at says to use --enable-liba52 but it says not found, could it go by something else? | 23:13 |
| frojnd | I've just installed the packages ampache and phpmyadmin. But when I go to mydomain.net/phpmyadmin nothing happens... why is that. During the installation of phpmyadmin it asked what web sertver to configure... I've set eapache2. Why I can't access mydomain.net/phpmyadmin ? | 23:13 |
| jerrymcfarts | hi | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | !hi | jerrymcfarts | 23:14 |
| ubottu | jerrymcfarts: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:14 |
| Guest58190 | looking for help with usb issue | 23:14 |
| jerrymcfarts | i have two wireless cards running on my computer, can I use /etc/network/interfaces to disable one at boot. | 23:14 |
| wind0pain | okay, it may not be practical but this desktop cube on a touchscreen is just bad ass | 23:14 |
| Xcell | cool | 23:14 |
| ayena | i try to install ubuntu but when it comes to the partition, i can't see any partition | 23:14 |
| javyn | whoever said i should do a fcsk thanks it worked | 23:14 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: blank hard disk? | 23:14 |
| javyn | after a reboot my disk usage went from 45 gig to 25, which is correct | 23:14 |
| Klunk | guys, I want to set up wpa on my netgear router. I have the option of wpa-psk, wpa2-psk individually or both together on my router and network manager shows wpa and wpa2 personal or wpa and wpa2 enterprise. Should I select the wpa-psk + spa2-psk on the router and wpa & wpa2 Personal in network manager? | 23:15 |
| javyn | thank you guys very much. Ubuntu's community is the best! | 23:15 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | Klunk | 23:15 |
| Guest58190 | i agree ubuntu is my fav | 23:15 |
| ayena | what do you mean by blank hard disk? | 23:15 |
| ubottu | Klunk: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:15 |
| wind0pain | anyone know if/when kde4 is going to support multiple desktop backgrouns ? | 23:15 |
| sebsebseb | Klunk: do WPA2 and make sure your router is actsaully set up for it, and not just Ubuntu | 23:15 |
| ayena | it is already partitioned, with one using windows | 23:15 |
| mindrape | ayena - is it a new harddrive? If so it likely doesnt have a partition table defined. | 23:15 |
| jerrymcfarts | Hello All, I was wondering how do i stop a wireless card from starting up. Could I say 'Down ath0' in my /etc/network/interfaces file? | 23:15 |
| jerrymcfarts | at boot | 23:15 |
| prappl93 | How do I bridge two connections? | 23:15 |
| ayena | but i plan to install it in a blank partition | 23:15 |

| VilasBoas | Hy does anyone know how to install ATI Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] ??? | 23:19 |
| mindrape | !ati | VilasBoas | 23:19 |
| ubottu | VilasBoas: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:19 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: Vista or XP? | 23:19 |
| ayena | vista | 23:19 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: thought so | 23:19 |
| === bk|away is now known as bk | ||
| sebsebseb | ayena: ok you must let Vista resize itself, otherwise you can get issues | 23:19 |
| VilasBoas | ubottu: obrigado | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about obrigado | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: I assume you need some space for Ubuntu and so need to resize Vista | 23:20 |
| VilasBoas | mindrape: sim ATI | 23:20 |
| mindrape | then sudo mkdir USB | 23:20 |
| ayena | sebsebseb====i have a partition already set for ubuntu | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: well then install into it | 23:20 |
| Schurrly | hello all | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: using manual install. oh and make a swap I guess | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | !swap | 23:20 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 23:20 |
| ayena | that's my problem, ubuntu canout see the partitions | 23:20 |
| ayena | i already used manual install | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: it needs to be unallocated space | 23:21 |
| wind0pain | cool, now i just need google chrome for linux! | 23:21 |
| wind0pain | wonder when that will be ready. | 23:21 |
| Schurrly | can anyone help with with a sound issue on 9.04? | 23:21 |
| ayena | yup i know , and im trying to install it in an unallocated space | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: some time this year I guess, however there's Chroemium for Linux in alpha | 23:21 |
| ayena | but it can't see it | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: alpha as in bugs as in developoment version | 23:21 |
| wind0pain | sebsebseb: nice, i'll start using it | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: Chromeium | 23:22 |
| ayena | my hard drive is sata btw | 23:22 |
| ayena | and i have a media reader connected | 23:22 |
| Slart | Schurrly: describe your issue, if someone has a suggestion they will probably let you know.. include details.. see !details for more info on that | 23:22 |
| wind0pain | sebastien: not the same as chrome | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: that's right, but similar | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: Chrome uses Chromeium | 23:23 |
| wind0pain | sebastien: is that just Google's name for the alpha ? | 23:23 |
| wind0pain | ahh | 23:23 |
| ayena | also, i tried wubi, but when it is rebooted , it goes to the busybox prompt | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: Chromeium is the open source part of Google Chrome | 23:23 |
| android6011 | I installed ubuntu to an external hard drive and on boot it says something about modules.dep no such file or directory | 23:23 |
| android6011 | I tried setting rootdelay=30 but it still drops to busybox | 23:23 |
| MrElendig | android6011: depmod -a | 23:23 |
| SoDoMa | hi ,i have some wireless aroud my home,but they hae password ,can i find their password? | 23:23 |
| ayena | hello again :D | 23:23 |
| Schurrly | I don't have any sound output. I am using a Asus M4N78 Pro motherboard that has a via 1708s chipset | 23:24 |
| Lyth | Is there a way to create a launcher that will issue a series of terminal commands? | 23:24 |
| android6011 | MrElendig: do that in busybox? | 23:24 |
| wind0pain | sebastien: guessing i can't just apt-get install it? | 23:24 |
| gordonjcp | Lyth: yes | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: there will be bugs, since early development version, but it should be ok, you can try it | 23:24 |
| Lyth | How? | 23:24 |
| gordonjcp | Lyth: same way you'd write a bash one-liner ;-) | 23:24 |
| Schurrly | when I run aplay -l as a regular user, it doesn't report a card | 23:24 |
| wind0pain | sebastien: well, i'm already dealing with bugs | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: indeed you can't apt-get install it | 23:24 |
| Lyth | I don't know how | 23:24 |
| Lyth | semicolons? | 23:24 |
| ayena | any suggestion guys? | 23:24 |
| gordonjcp | Lyth: command; command; command | 23:25 |
| Lyth | Thought so. | 23:25 |
| Lyth | Thank you | 23:25 |
| MrElendig | might want && | 23:25 |
| Slart | Lyth: set the launcher to launch a script instead of a file | 23:25 |
| gordonjcp | Lyth: or use && to make it give up after an error | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: yes don't use Wubi | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | ayena: busy box and other possible issues | 23:25 |
| prappl93 | Can someone help me bridge connections together? | 23:26 |
| rob0917 | Thank you to all the people helping in here,you make the switch to linux better for everyone | 23:26 |
| ayena | sebsebseb- i really suspect that it has something to do with the media ready that is connected | 23:26 |
| jawa | Ok, I am a dumbass. I partitioned an 8 gig flash drive using Partition editor. I umounted it and now Ubuntu won't recognize it. Any ideas on how to find it, and format it to Fat32? | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | rob0917: indeed we do | 23:26 |
| Slart | jawa: have you tried disconnecting it and then reconnecting it? | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | jawa: NTFS would be better | 23:26 |
| jawa | yes | 23:26 |
| jawa | it lights up... | 23:27 |
| Slart | jawa: if you run the gnome partition editor, can you see it? | 23:27 |
| jawa | nope | 23:27 |
| jawa | duh yeah I can.. | 23:27 |
| jawa | liked I said, I am a dumbass | 23:27 |
| Slart | jawa: ok.. open a terminal and run this "tail -f /var/log/syslog".. it will print out 10 lines or so.. just leave it | 23:27 |
| Slart | jawa: then disconnect the flash drive and reconnect it.. now look in the terminal window again | 23:28 |
| rob0917 | Ubuntu Rocks!!!!! | 23:28 |
| jawa | sudo it? | 23:28 |
| Slart | jawa: you should see some text describing first that a device was removed.. and then about it finding a new device | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | !dualboot | ayena | 23:28 |

| Slart | jawa: we don't want to write to the file.. only read it | 23:28 |
| jawa | gotcha | 23:28 |
| Schurrly | nvm | 23:28 |
| ayena | thanks ubottu | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | !thanks | ayena | 23:29 |
| ubottu | ayena: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 23:29 |
| Schurrly | fixed it, thanks for being here just in case! | 23:29 |
| MOLLYnezu | I can install dynamic energy saver on ubuntu? | 23:29 |

| Malacath | that encryption thing on the zune...if it can be gotten into with the xna game thing to put games on, would it be able to be bugged through to get a linux kernel that way? | 23:30 |
| briancron | haha, I was not fishing I was trying to work on ubottu's self esteem, just a bot indeed | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | briancron: ok | 23:31 |
| Hqrsie | the robot uprising has begun, and they're all emo | 23:31 |
| briancron | lol | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | Malacath: you have a working Zune with Ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| losher | briancron: the 'denial' one was funny.... | 23:31 |
| Malacath | ...i think i did at one point, havnt tried lately lol | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | !lol | briancron | 23:31 |
| ubottu | briancron: 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. | 23:31 |
| ilyas | #linuxac | 23:32 |
| th0r | SoDoMa: no | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | briancron: it was only once, but anyway | 23:32 |

| briancron | I'll refrain in the future, between you and me, I really didn't laugh anyway so it was a bit of a fraud | 23:32 |
| Malacath | i used that libmtp thing before and managed to go through it before | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | briancron: yeah I hardly laugh for real as well | 23:33 |
| Malacath | limited but if it can get into it just a bit then maybe the game thing could be gotten through | 23:33 |
| losher | sebsebseb: I don't really get why 'lol' is frowned on, but smileys aren't.... | 23:33 |
| SoDoMa | ok | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Malacath: Zune and Linux hummm | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | losher: I guess, because of the way people use it | 23:33 |
| Lyth | Is there a way to in a series of commands entered in a launcher to have my password automatically entered for sudo su? | 23:33 |
| wind0pain | can debs be uninstalled with apt-get? | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: sudo purge programname | 23:34 |
| mindrape | wind0pain use dpkg if you manuallyl installed a .deb | 23:34 |
| Slart | Lyth: nope | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: that will get rid of a program and it's config files | 23:34 |
| DevilAsh | Hi all. My sound stopped working earlier today, I've checked alsamixer and my sound options in ubuntu, and they're all up. I've also had a look around the support forums, and I've got the same problem as other people, but their solutions haven't helped me at all. Don't suppose anyone's got any ideas, have you? | 23:34 |
| Lyth | Any way to automate it? | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | mindrape: Synaptic/apt-get will have the Deb if it's manualley installed as well always/normalley | 23:34 |
| deagle | heeeello all | 23:34 |
| Malacath | well i saw some people saying there was certificates and encryptions on the booter on the zune hardware, but you can still put games onto it done in C#, was just a thought i saw that nobody seemed to mention | 23:34 |
| DevilAsh | How to fix it, that is. | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: see above | 23:35 |
| Slart | Lyth: there are some ways.. you can make sudo/gksudo not ask for a password for certain commands by configuring sudo | 23:35 |
| wind0pain | how can i figure out what the program name in the .deb was? or is it the same as the .deb filename? | 23:35 |
| Astray | DevilAsh, I ran into a similar problem earlier this morning, what I did was go into your sound settings and change everything to PulseAudio. | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: by opening up synaptic and finding it there, that's one way | 23:35 |
| Lyth | I guess I'll just do it manually | 23:35 |
| wind0pain | ok | 23:35 |
| Slart | Lyth: but it's easier to us gksudo in the launcher and make it popup a dialog asking for the password | 23:35 |
| mindrape | wind0pain i personally use dselect... | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | wind0pain: you could even get rid of it graphicalley | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | mindrape: dselect??? | 23:35 |
| mindrape | yes, dselect. | 23:35 |
| deagle | question: how do i make the resolution bigger if i don't have a monitor plugged in? | 23:35 |
| darkhelmetlive | ack! any apache nerds on here? my setup all of a sudden just won't start.... | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | mindrape: sounds vaguely familur the name, but don't know if I used it | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | !info dselect | 23:36 |
| ubottu | dselect (source: dpkg): Debian package management front-end. In component main, is optional. Version 1.14.24ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 400 kB, installed size 2180 kB | 23:36 |
| DevilAsh | Astray, I haven't got PulseAudio installed at the mo', I'll try downloading it and having a go though. | 23:36 |
| Slart | deagle: are you using vnc or something like that? | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | darkhelmetlive: probably not, but I think #apache might exist | 23:36 |
| deagle | Slart: yep | 23:36 |
| darkhelmetlive | sebsebseb: oh good an apache specific channel. thanks! | 23:36 |
| mindrape | dselect gives you the best view of pkg mgmt in your system IMHO. | 23:37 |
| Slart | deagle: can't you set that when you launch the vnc server? | 23:37 |
| Malacath | i cant register on the forum to leave the game proxy start idea tho...so if anyone wants to put it up...by all means xP | 23:37 |
| Slart | deagle: I think there is a --geometry switch you can use | 23:37 |
| Haris_Amin | hey guys...my wireless card (using ipw2200 driver) will let me see other networks but won't let me ocnnect to a network (regardless of wpa or wep)...it keeps on asking for authenticaiton...i've been working on this since yesterday...i really need to fix this... | 23:37 |
| Haris_Amin | can i perhaps install the ipw2200 driver again | 23:38 |
| deagle | Slart: ummm... I'm talking about the actual X server (the options under System->Screen Resolution are only up to 640x480) | 23:38 |
| Slart | deagle: what vnc server are you using? | 23:38 |
| Kassah | just got the new 9.04 installed... how do I move the gnome panels? | 23:39 |
| deagle | Slart: x11vnc | 23:39 |
| Malacath | ah well off i go :D | 23:39 |
| sebsebseb | Kassah: by right clicking them and going to properties | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | Kassah: I think | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | Kassah: as far as I know you can only have the panels on the sides | 23:40 |
| infidel | hey whats that third party software that installs the ati drivers codecs and what not? | 23:40 |

| Kassah | coz_, they don't seem to want to drag | 23:41 |
| coz_ | mm | 23:41 |
| Tasem | Hello ^^ I return with more questions | 23:41 |
| coz_ | Kassah, let me try here | 23:41 |
| Guest58190 | usb | 23:41 |
| coz_ | Kassah, do you have compiz running? | 23:41 |
| Kassah | coz_, that's what used to work I think... | 23:41 |
| Kassah | coz_, yeah I do | 23:41 |
| mindrape | sebsebseb - he can't get his USB drive to automount. I tried helping him but he doesn't have a grasp of a lot of simple commands so he ended up F bombing me about 30 times. Your mileage may vary. :) | 23:41 |
| coz_ | Kassah, disable compiz and it should work | 23:42 |
| Guest58190 | but over all ubuntis giving my other erros that probally link to that | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | mindrape: what do you mean F bombing ? | 23:42 |
| Guest58190 | lol | 23:42 |
| Kassah | coz_, cool... I should be able to just turn it back on when I move them? | 23:42 |
| Tasem | This time concerning Linux Swap. Guys, if I have 2GB of RAM, is 2.61 GB of Swap space good enough? | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | mindrape: swearing? | 23:42 |
| Guest58190 | liar | 23:42 |
| Guest58190 | who knows | 23:42 |
| coz_ | Kassah, ` yeah once in place restart compiz | 23:42 |
| Guest58190 | cuas eth ubuntu wa sfine yesterday | 23:42 |
| coz_ | Kassah, this is going to change radically with the next version of gnome however | 23:42 |
| Guest58190 | and no i din't swear | 23:43 |
| Kassah | oh? | 23:43 |
| coz_ | Kassah, essentially gnome will not allow another window manger to run | 23:43 |

| Rafael | Anybody can tell me what segmentation fault is? | 23:44 |
| DevilAsh | Looks like the guy who was helping me's gone AWOL, so I'll ask again. | 23:44 |
| DevilAsh | Astray, I've just been checking my sound options after installing pulseaudio, and I get this error 'audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.' | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | Rafael: I think I Googled that not that long ago, but don't remember what it is | 23:45 |
| DevilAsh | Hi all. My sound stopped working earlier today, I've checked alsamixer and my sound options in ubuntu, and they're all up. I've also had a look around the support forums, and I've got the same problem as other people, but their solutions haven't helped me at all. Don't suppose anyone's got any ideas, have you? | 23:45 |
| DevilAsh | Sorry for the messages, by the way. Sent the wrong one first >_< | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | Rafael: yes I must have Googled it | 23:45 |
| tux11 | might auto remove help? | 23:45 |
| Kassah | coz_, nope... still won't drag with compiz off | 23:45 |
| coz_ | Kassah, yeah I just tried it here as well | 23:45 |
| tux11 | i need some help | 23:45 |
| Kassah | coz_, fyi... it's a fresh install =/ | 23:45 |
| coz_ | Kassah, I dont know what happened to the click and drag feature for the panel | 23:45 |
| tux11 | maybe i need fresh install as well? | 23:46 |
| Kassah | tux11, prolly not... | 23:46 |
| galant14b | DevilAsh: i'm no expert, but I've had trouble w/ pulseaudio before....I googled for a tutorial to remove pulseaudio and just run ALSA....might work for you? | 23:46 |
| === ohol1ks is now known as chol | ||
| Kassah | tux11, I did it more to start over my home directory than anything =) | 23:46 |
| tux11 | ok | 23:46 |
| Kassah | tux11, I could have just as easily rm'd it... | 23:46 |
| galant14b | works perfectly for me, but maybe there's some functionality that you'd miss? not sure | 23:46 |
| tux11 | i tried auto remove | 23:46 |
| Kassah | tux11, I'm just lazy and installed on a new hard drive =) | 23:46 |
| DevilAsh | I was running Alsa earlier, then my sound just broke. It's not like I messed with anything, either, galant14b | 23:47 |
| tux11 | ok | 23:47 |
| Kassah | coz_, I'll go see if there is a gnome channel... because this is gonna drive me bonkers | 23:47 |
| Slart | deagle: it seems you have to edit your xorg.conf file.. since it's not detecting a monitor it defaults to the lowest settings | 23:47 |
| coz_ | Kassah, there is ##gnome | 23:48 |
| galant14b | I know..same thing happened to me....Rhythmbox was playing my music one day and then in the middle of a song, *poof*....no audio, reboot and reinstalling pulseaudio wouldn't make sound come back. | 23:48 |
| Slart | deagle: you can set "useEDID false" to make it not care about detecting a monitor and trust whatever settings you provide in the config file | 23:48 |
| Kassah | coz_, thanks =) | 23:48 |
| DevilAsh | Sods law, I guess. I'm going to try a restart again, anyway. Thanks though. :) | 23:48 |
| tux11 | i need help | 23:48 |
| deagle | Slart: o_O? from where? | 23:48 |
| tux11 | whisper me the info too hard to follow in room | 23:49 |
| Tasem | Um, guys, I need to know; can a Linux Swap partition being too small cause freezes and lockdowns? | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | Tasem: how big is it? | 23:49 |
| musikgoat|main | Tasem: only if your memory is also very very low | 23:49 |
| Tasem | 2 GBs, I have 2 GB Ram | 23:49 |
| Slart | deagle: this is basically what you had to do by hand if you installed linux more than.. 2-3 years ago | 23:49 |
| flowchat | thats what she said | 23:49 |
| musikgoat|main | Tasem: no way | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | Tasem: that's not to small | 23:49 |
| tux11 | how do u at least fix the server linking issue? | 23:49 |
| Tasem | Ah, allright | 23:49 |
| Slart | deagle: if you run this command.. "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" you'll see the config file | 23:50 |
| Tasem | Should it still be bigger though? I heard it should be double my RAM, but Im not sure. | 23:50 |
| sebsebseb | Tasem: I think that's only for hibernation/sleep | 23:50 |
| thiebaude1 | Tasem: 1.5 times or double | 23:50 |
| deagle | Slart: yeah, but where do I set the option? | 23:50 |
| losher | !swap | Tasem | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Tasem: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 23:50 |
| Tasem | Allright, I guess I'll make it double just in case. | 23:50 |
| deagle | Slart: as in, where do I type it? | 23:50 |
| tux11 | says it can't find chromuim | 23:50 |
| Slart | deagle: hang on.. I've got a headless server running too.. I'll do it at the same time.. | 23:51 |
| Tasem | Thank you guys | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | Tasem: 4GB SWAP on a computer that won't sleep or hibernate, seems such a waste | 23:51 |
| deagle | Slart: thank you so much! | 23:51 |

| ThePhoenix | firefox does not use chrome libs it was out long before google thought of chrome | 23:55 |
| coz_ | Kassah, that makes it less likely to jump around by accident :) | 23:55 |
| thiebaude1 | tux11: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/linux.html | 23:55 |

| ThePhoenix | tux11: do you mean chrome as in visual style? | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | tux11: that's the Windows version. and every time you use that, unless you changed the user agent string some how, your helping with Windows market share | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | tux11: and that's not a good thing | 23:56 |
| Tasem | Also, Im getting many graphic glitches here and there. Specifically when I try to work with some Wine things | 23:56 |
| tux11 | yup | 23:56 |

| ThePhoenix | ok | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | tux11: there is no Google Chrome for Linux yet, there is Chromeium in early buggy alpha though, which is what Google Chrome uses | 23:57 |
| ThePhoenix | sebsebseb is right | 23:57 |
| montel | sebsebseb: there is CrossOver Google Chrome | 23:58 |
| montel | works pretty good | 23:58 |
| tux11 | no kidding player hater | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | montel: that was just mentioned, and that's the Windows version, and what I said with helping with Windows market share, every time someone uses that, unless they changed the user agent string | 23:58 |

| Flannel | FFForever: what are you upgrading from? | 23:59 |
