| `DoM` | anyone knows howto slowdown gpu temperature on nvidia videocard and ubuntu ? i need to disable acpi or anything related ? | 00:01 |
| cecilia | they are ok... but not opera or VLC | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | Spiritual: that's how | 00:01 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, open vlc | 00:01 |
| Spiritual | sebsebseb: i've tried to do that | 00:01 |
| fung | spydergt: yeah, I think it's because I combined a couple partitions and thus screwed up the labels (sda etc) and my menu.lst hasn't been updated to point to the right one. could that be the reason why I'm getting the error 12? or am I completely off | 00:01 |
| cecilia | ok | 00:01 |
| Spiritual | but there is a problema with the format | 00:01 |
| Spiritual | problem* | 00:02 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, open tools/preferences | 00:02 |
| spydergt | fung , when you play with partitions you better be ready to write off all the data , you should use a boot cd and mount the hdd in question and attempt to recover any data possible to a back up drive , | 00:02 |
| Klunk | hi guys, I am trying to set up port forwarding on my ubuntu system. Ideally I would set my router to receive connections on 12345 and forward them to 22 for ssh, however my router is backward and I can only pass through the same port number, so in Jaunty how can I listen on 12345 and actually then talk to 22? | 00:02 |
| cecilia | right | 00:02 |
| spydergt | fung you can always attempt to correct the errors but you might have lost all the data involved | 00:03 |
| th0r | Klunk: you can set up ssh to listen to any port, not just 22 | 00:03 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, on the bottom left click the all tab | 00:03 |
| === ring1 is now known as ring0 | ||
| cecilia | ok | 00:03 |
| spydergt | fung did you combine the partitions in winders ? you can try something like partition magic 8 and boot into windows pe and let it attempt to fix it | 00:03 |
| danand_ | `DoM`: try the nvidia-settings package | 00:03 |
| Spiritual | sebsebseb: i'm going to try to use ultraiso | 00:04 |
| Klunk | thats true, what about incoming web? Also I am now runnign vmware and I want to do the same with 8222, but I dont want to expose a known post ;) | 00:04 |
| Spiritual | though wine | 00:04 |
| th0r | Klunk: and you can use iptables to do outgoing port translations | 00:04 |
| mattgyver | Has anyone had issues with VLC and playlists of over 100+ songs. When loading the playlist VLC will skip songs as if they dont contain music, and then terminate abrubtly. | 00:04 |
| cecilia | it's done | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | Spiritual: what's ultraiso? | 00:04 |
| `DoM` | danand_: i did it but from there i can only SEE temperature when i need to slowdown it | 00:04 |
| Spiritual | sebsebseb: it's a programm for windows | 00:04 |
| chuck_ | open the audio tab then output modules chose alsa | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | Spiritual: well yeah, but what does it do? | 00:05 |
| fung | spydergt: the partitions I combined were empty. windows wasn't on any of them. here's the output of boot info script http://pastebin.ca/1426956 if you have a moment to skim through it | 00:05 |
| Spiritual | sebsebseb: it mounts images | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | Spiritual: you can even mount ISO's in Wine and stuff like that | 00:05 |
| Spiritual | sebsebseb: hum... i'm going to try right now. Thanks. | 00:06 |
| spydergt | give me a sec ill look | 00:06 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, you should have a big box say's alsa audio output | 00:06 |
| fung | spydergt: my windows partition is on sdc5 | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | Spiritual: and you can in Linux, but you done whatever wrong I guess | 00:06 |
| Decepticon | how can i do it so that when i press page up it sends 10 up arrow keys, through screen or some key binding or what? i want to scroll through a list in rtorrent that doesnt use page up/page down functionality, only arrow keys 1 by 1 | 00:06 |
| Klunk | th0r, can I specify multiple ports for ssh in ssh_config? | 00:06 |
| Spiritual | sebsebseb: yes... I think so... | 00:06 |
| helper | raylu, lol seems u didn't help in anything . the ubuntu is seems to be sux more seems i have to remove user and re-add it again better thing since no one can can help me with this | 00:06 |
| Spiritual | sebsebseb: how can I find the format? | 00:07 |
| Spiritual | iso9660 etc. | 00:07 |
| cecilia | chuck: you mean at Audio? | 00:07 |
| Peeeeeet | alright, here's another one, how do I make a crontab entry go every OTHER week, not every week | 00:07 |
| cecilia | i see four sub-options, one of them is Output modules | 00:07 |
| th0r | Klunk: I don't think so, but you can set up ssh, for example, to operate on port 12345 and then use iptables to translate outgoing data to port 12345 so it goes out 22 instead | 00:07 |
| Peeeeeet | put a number between 7 and 14 for day of week? | 00:08 |
| lyrae | should i use extfs4 instead of 3? | 00:08 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, thats the one | 00:08 |
| Klunk | ok, thanks. I was just being lazy and wanting to use 22 internally and 12345 externally :-) | 00:08 |
| lyrae | ext4* | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: you can do if you clean install, but some issues still that are mentioned in release notes | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | !notes | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes | 00:08 |
| th0r | Klunk: you can use iptables to set that up as well | 00:08 |
| lyrae | sebastien, so it's not really recommended ? | 00:08 |
| cecilia | yes, but it shows Alsa device name: and some options to choose... Default , | 00:09 |
| lyrae | sebsebseb, so it's not recommended, right? | 00:09 |
| cecilia | Ensoniq etc etc (the sound card) | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: it's not really recommended to newbies, but experiended users we can do it | 00:09 |
| cecilia | another Ensoniq (which never worked) | 00:09 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, open the default tap | 00:09 |
| cecilia | ok | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: and there's a later kernel in a ppa, that solves one of the issues some people get with it | 00:09 |
| abioticrhyme | hello | 00:09 |
| th0r | Klunk: set it up to translate port 12345 from external ips to port 22, and leave internal ips alone...then config ssh to operate on 22 | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: most people that have used Ext4 were fien | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | fine | 00:09 |
| lyrae | sebsebseb, thank you | 00:10 |
| system4041 | installing vlc u simply just cant beat it | 00:10 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, it should show your sound card with hw.0,0 | 00:10 |
| cecilia | chuck, it works :) | 00:10 |
| grkblood13 | does any1 know how to stream live audio via vlc? | 00:10 |
| Klunk | thanks th0r, I think I will leave the iptables alone for now and do that when its not so late. For now I will change the config to use 12345 | 00:10 |
| === Kernel is now known as Wicked | ||
| th0r | Klunk: there is a lot of fun buried in iptables <smile> | 00:11 |
| cecilia | i confess I messed this VLC configuration when the sound problem started some days ago | 00:11 |
| system4041 | vlc rocks | 00:11 |
| cecilia | well, it doesn't | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: 10.4 will probably use Ext4 by default instead of Ext3 | 00:11 |
| system4041 | weither it windows linux or osx vlc comes up trumps | 00:11 |
| cecilia | lem me open again this tab and see | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: 10.04 | 00:11 |
| lyrae | sebsebseb, ah ok. thanks | 00:11 |
| Klunk | yes, I used to run a nat firewall and mail server between windoze and the world outside, but pressure from Mrs meant I went back to windoze and dropped Linux completely. She now has her own pc :) | 00:11 |
| cecilia | sorry, chuck... i was wrong... it shows | 00:12 |
| cecilia | the soundcard with the end you said | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: however if you clean install and do Ext4, and have data backedup some where else as well | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: to be sure, well then yeah you will probably be fine with it | 00:13 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, yes hw.0,0 | 00:13 |
| cecilia | that's here in the options | 00:13 |
| cecilia | although i chose the default option | 00:13 |
| lyrae | sebsebseb, yea, i already backed it all up | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: a few people say Ext4 partition can get all currupted, but most people that have used it, have never had such issues | 00:14 |
| ralmar | Hey guys, I have a little concern. The only network-related app that I am running right now (apart from this irc client) is the Deluge bittorrent client. According to Deluge I am uploading at about 2.6 KB/s, but if I open the System Monitor, and go to the Resource tab, it says I am uploading at about between 7.7 and 16 KB/s (it fluctuates quite a bit). Why could this be? Could there be a nasty app or trojan that is running and uploading files? Thanks | 00:14 |
| Butcher | >_< | 00:14 |
| === Butcher is now known as ShazbotMcNasty | ||
| chuck_ | cecilia, that should work with default since you only have one sound card but vlc can be buggy at times thats why i wanted you to tell it what to use | 00:15 |
| lyrae | sebsebseb, well, corrupted is bad, ;( lol | 00:15 |
| lyrae | now i dont know if i want to risk it | 00:15 |
| Peeeeeet | ralmar: most likely just normal network overhead plus your irc session | 00:15 |
| cecilia | ok | 00:15 |
| eseven73 | ralmar, you can check sudo watch -n 1 "netstat -tpanl | grep ESTABLISHED | 00:15 |
| cecilia | yes, it seems everything is fine now, although i tested only the main players and firefox... | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: well it would probably work well for you | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: check out the releate notes for the Ext4 stuff yeah | 00:15 |
| lyrae | we'.ll see | 00:15 |

| eseven73 | ralmar, put a " at the end of ESTABLISHED | 00:16 |

| cecilia | falling back to Ensoniq etc etc | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: oh dear | 00:16 |
| lyrae | sebsebseb, ={ where can i find the latest build of 9.04? | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: you came here worrying about Ext4, and there you are doing the buggy alphas of 9.10 | 00:17 |
| lyrae | they dont seem to offer it anymore | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: you should be more concerned about 9.10 going wrong for you | 00:17 |
| system4041 | howcome playlist in vlc just shows list of tracks but in windows it splits the tracks into there albums | 00:17 |
| lyrae | i am too | 00:17 |

| sebsebseb | lyrae: don't use the alphas! | 00:17 |
| iratik | CJJ: /msg | 00:17 |
| eseven73 | ralmar, another one might work too: sudo netstat -antu |grep -i ESTABLISHED | 00:17 |

| mzz | is there a commandline way to get wireless signal strength? I'm assuming "wpa_cli scan_results" is cached? | 00:18 |
| lyrae | ok. i started downloading 9.04 | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: if you want 9.10 early, virtual machine it, but don't use it for your actsaul system, untill at least beta | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | lyrae: and yeah beta will be buggy to, but more stable than alpha | 00:18 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, so now you have no sound in amarok? | 00:18 |
| cecilia | yes, i do | 00:18 |
| spydergt | i need some help with a lilo.conf error anyone ? | 00:18 |

| lyrae | sebsebseb, ok :) hold on be right back | 00:18 |
| cecilia | apart from the weird message, but i always received the same message since all this trouble began | 00:19 |
| cecilia | it started before the upgrade to jaunty | 00:19 |

| rob0917 | is there a channel for general issues in ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| VCoolio | gex: gnome-panel | 00:23 |
| eseven73 | ralmar, normally speaking, Ubuntu doesn't open any ports by default, so you're pretty safe unless you start forwarding ports on your router (or in case you don't have a router, you open port for ssh server or whatnot) then you might want to look into firestarter or something | 00:23 |
| chuck_ | cecilia, your welcome | 00:23 |

| andre | sebsebseb; yep right but no, its not for me and its must be like 2 distros lin, and one xp for other stuff wich doesnt work on linux wine exemple | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | andre: if you have two distros on same hard disk they can share /home | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | andre: sharing the same /boot between two distros I think could cause issues. and by default Ubuntu does / with /home and /boot and all that in it, and a swap | 00:37 |
| andre | sebsebseb; but anyways the question about the importance of the type of partition for the different use | 00:37 |
| ralmar | mzz thanks i found the pid´s. the thing is some of the connections really dont have a PID, its just a "-"... And i cant find the connection I am looking for.

| rob0917 | hey all | 00:50 |
| mimiloon | Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the info, let me look into that | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:50 |
| andre | IndyGunFreak: is there an importance in the partition type for the / and /boot ? like primary, extended ? or it doesnt matter | 00:50 |
| iratik | ActionParsnip: Its in the paste http://www.pastie.org/482208 | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andre does not matter for ubuntu | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | andre: i find it easier to just use all primaries if one can. | 00:50 |
| iratik | I've tried all those things | 00:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | andre: not really | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | andre: of course you can only have 4 primaries. | 00:51 |

| ActionParsnip | iratik: what is the output of: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | andre wants 2 Linux distros and XP on the same computer | 00:51 |
| andre | Jack_Sparrow: and does it matter for windows ? | 00:51 |
| coz_ | sebastien, two linus distros ....which ones? | 00:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andre windows prefers to be the first partition on the first drive installed before ubuntu | 00:51 |
| iratik | ActionParsnip: no such file or directory | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | coz_: don't know | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | andre: now partition "type" would matter, but primary or logical, etc.. should be ok | 00:52 |
| coz_ | sebastien, well ubuntu and suse would be my first choices | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | andre: which 2 Linux distros? | 00:52 |
| andre | Dr_Willis: i want more than 4, thats the point 2 linux distros and 1 win XP | 00:52 |
| mindrape | iratik - sudo lshw -C cpu <--- are you expecting it to be at a certain clock speed right now or what? | 00:52 |
| rob0917 | join ubuntu off-topic | 00:52 |

| olavimmanuel | hello. ive written a bash/shell script to move some files using sudo mv. However not al the files are always present, but the script should continue nevertheless... how? | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | andre: err.. that could be done with just 4 :) (windows)(linux 1) (linux 2) (swap) | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: ok then you need to compile the module or find a package with the module in | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/toshset/+bug/181374 | 00:52 |
| mindrape | olavimmanuel: probably best to ask in #bash | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andre You could do it in all primaries, but you would not have the ability to have a sep /home etc | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !home | 00:53 |
| ubottu | Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 00:53 |

| iratik | mindrape: Thats the same information i have in the pastie | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: you can't just modprobe something if its not on your disk | 00:53 |
| mimiloon | Jack_Sparrow: i have the right to use the cd/dvd drive | 00:53 |
| iratik | ActionParsnip: Thats why i included "dpkg -l | grep toshset" in the pastie | 00:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | olavimmanuel Please /join #bash | 00:53 |
| mindrape | iratik - what are you expecting to see though? | 00:53 |
| mindrape | I dont know what your cpu is versus what you've attempted to throttle to. | 00:53 |
| iratik | mindrape: I should be able to turn down the processor speed from 1.86 ghz to 75% of that | 00:53 |
| olavimmanuel | ok | 00:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ty | 00:54 |
| iratik | like in windows , when i turn down to 75% to keep the machine from randomly shutting off | 00:54 |
| === Butcher is now known as ShazbotMcNasty | ||
| andre | Dr_Willis: i would prefer share /home in between, and also on the windows side i'd like to have a safe partition in case windows got fucked | 00:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | andre Lose the profanity.. thanks | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | iratik: then those packages do not not have the module in them do they | 00:54 |
| tritium | andre: watch the language | 00:54 |

| ActionParsnip | iratik: i'd read that launchpad link i gave, seems quite conclusinve in areas | 00:56 |
| mindrape | iratik - based on my reading it seems that those scaling daemons will automatically kicked in when you are unplugged or other requirements are met. This will all be based on your .conf file... so technically it could be working right now but you just dont realize it because of how you have it configd | 00:56 |

| mindrape | Fumoh|Laptop - you mean like the taskbar w the clock? | 00:58 |
| kmkz | okeyz :D thanks for the fruitful ideas | 00:58 |

| reddbull | where are the files to set the mouse sensitivity in gnome? | 01:00 |
| jtaji | Fumoh|Laptop: you could try a 'killall gnome-panel' and perhaps a 'killall nautilus' | 01:00 |
| mindrape | Fumoh|Laptop: well the safest way would probably to restart gdm which should boot you out and when you log back in it will have hopefully made itself sane. | 01:00 |

| Cryptic_Donkey | Is intrepid ibex an LTS release | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | fudd: theres a reason why there is a server and a desktop system | 01:09 |
| Pici | Cryptic_Donkey: No. | 01:09 |
| mindrape | fudd - if you absolutely MUST have a GUI then go w something light weight... a window manager (blackbox) versus a desktop environment (gnome/kde) | 01:10 |
| arand | Cryptic_Donkey: hardy heron is | 01:10 |
| Pici | Cryptic_Donkey: 6.06 and 8.04 are the only LTS releases. | 01:10 |
| eseven73 | Cryptic_Donkey, no such luck im afraid, LTS's are very rare | 01:10 |
| rww | dominoeffekt: The Radeon 9600 uses an R300-series chipset. This chipset is not supported by fglrx (the binary driver ubottu/mindrape linked you to). You'll have to use the open source drivers, which should be installed and used by default. | 01:10 |
| fudd | ussr: what this command for #apt-get install ubuntu-desktop if kubuntu-desktop is for kde ? | 01:10 |
| dominoeffekt | rww so i whould not have to do anything? | 01:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fudd that is the command | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | fudd: you sound like you are new to ubuntu. I recommend you install the desktop system | 01:11 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | how long do I have to upgrade to 9.04 right away | 01:11 |

| fulat2k | hi folks, is there a way i can turn off my notebook's display? i've set the "put display to sleep when inactive for" option to 11minutes, but the screen doesn't turn off completely after the period set. | 01:11 |
| dominoeffekt | rww okey. Reason im asking is that i lag like hell in nexuiz | 01:11 |
| mindrape | fudd - what is your intended use of Linux? Do you just want to host a small personal website? You can do that w desktop version... just install the daemons and additional software you want (http/mysql/php/etc) | 01:11 |
| usser | fudd, ubuntu-desktop is for gnome | 01:11 |
| fudd | oh i see.. !! | 01:12 |

| th0r | by default network manager marks each successful connection "Connect Automatically". Is there a way to change this default behaviour? | 01:12 |
| rww | dominoeffekt: It's possible that the open source driver doesn't support 3D acceleration for your card. | 01:12 |
| mindrape | fudd - server versions are "tuned" to run daemons more efficiently versus all the eye candy a desktop version would entail. | 01:12 |
| V0iD__ | Can anyone help? | 01:12 |
| dominoeffekt | rww :S Nothing to do about that? | 01:12 |
| rww | dominoeffekt: I'm not sure. The people in #radeon probably know more about the state of things. | 01:13 |
| dominoeffekt | rww okey, Thank u mate for all the answers! | 01:13 |

| bobbob1016 | I'm running Jaunty on my EEEPC 901, but the array.org/ubuntu/ has the jaunty kernel as testing, the intrepid one is stable, any issue using the intrepid kernel in Jaunty? | 01:13 |

| rww | bobbob1016: It's not a good idea to do that. | 01:14 |
| mzz | dominoeffekt: the r300 does have some 3d acceleration. What in particular doesn't work? | 01:14 |

| mindrape | V0iD__ I used to memorize all that... not for the last 5+ years though... | 01:14 |
| jbroome | fudd: yes | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | fudd: xubuntu-desktop will give you xubuntu which is lightweight but you will still need to setup and configure sound if you need sound | 01:14 |
| V0iD__ | mindrape: Cool thanks mate! | 01:15 |
| bobbob1016 | Jack_Sparrow: Which is why I asked here first. I went to the help.ubuntu site, and didn't see anything kernel related, apart from array.org | 01:15 |
| mzz | dominoeffekt: I don't know if current ubuntu still needs this, but I've seen a *huge* speedup in certain apps after using driconf to "disable low impact fallbacks", assuming I recall the wording correctly | 01:15 |

| biella | i can't get amarok to play anything, or DVDs to play, does anyone know what I'm missing? | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !dvd | 01:15 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 01:15 |
| taget_ | mindrape just the command itself or a link to the script | 01:15 |
| biella | i can play things in rhythmbox fine | 01:15 |
| dominoeffekt | mzz the computer freezes from time to time when i play. (i have the lowers possible resolution and other graphic settings | 01:15 |
| mindrape | taget_ whichever you prefer... not sure how you manage your system. It's called at the end of each runlevel so it will get called 1 way or another. | 01:16 |
| mzz | dominoeffekt: any app in particular that triggers this (preferably one I can test here too)? I have a 9600xt card in this system | 01:16 |

| biella | help.ubuntu down? | 01:16 |
| Ampelbein | biella: works for me. | 01:17 |
| rww | biella: http://help.ubuntu.com/ works fine for me. | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biella https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu for dvd | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | zaccour: you could unpartition it then try again. This will destroy ALL data on the device | 01:17 |
| biella | i'm not able to look up the IP | 01:17 |
| mindrape | biella - invoke it from the terminal... see if it gives error output. You can also use strace to invoke it. ie; strace amarok (sudo apt-get install strace obviously since its not there by default) | 01:17 |
| zaccour | ActionParsnip, how do i unpartition it? | 01:17 |
| mindrape | that will give you lots of info on whats happening "behind the scenes" | 01:17 |
| dominoeffekt | mzz happens while playing Nexuiz, nothing more i can say that i can think of could be triggering | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | zaccour: if you run sudo fdisk -l you will find out the device name | 01:18 |
| escape123987 | anyone know of a good alternative to sqlplus for ubuntu? I need it for querying an Oracle db... | 01:18 |
| biella | hrm, ok amarok works now... I guess its just playing dvds in vlc that doesn't | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | zaccour: you can then run: sudo gparted /dev/<its name> (e.g. sudo gparted /dev/sdb) | 01:18 |
| mindrape | escape123987 - you could always rev up FreeToad... | 01:18 |
| mindrape | escape123987: I believe it works w WINE... | 01:19 |

| mabus | I downloaded part of a torrent on another host using rtorrent, i copied the downloaded folder with the partially downloaded content into this host and I'm trying to use transmission but it says I have 0% downloaded, how can I start with a hash check? | 01:19 |
| k_wolf | Hi guys, is there any package to provide j2ee on eclipse? | 01:20 |
| mindrape | mabus - look in ~/.rtorrent ... anything there? | 01:20 |
| zaccour | ActionParsnip, i just installed gparted, now what? | 01:20 |
| jtaji | mabus: what version ubuntu you on? | 01:20 |
| mindrape | k_wolf - this isn't really a development channel.... I'd ask in #java or #eclipse | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zaccour: run the commands i just said | 01:20 |
| mabus | mindrape: I'm not on the rtorrent host, but more specifically what do I need from what folder on the rtorrent host, then? | 01:21 |
| mabus | jtaji: I am on intrepid | 01:21 |
| snell | after killing a process in a virtual terminal, how do i get my xwindows back and get my laptop to finish booting up? | 01:21 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | Good i change ny /etc/apt/sources.list that i am running the lts release | 01:21 |
| mindrape | mabus - not sure... lots of programs create hidden folders (ie; .programname) in the home directory from where you were running them. | 01:21 |
| letalis | snell, youll need to hold ctrl+alt+f7 | 01:21 |
| jtaji | mabus: transmission in intrepid was very buggy, you might just try removing it and adding it again | 01:21 |
| th0r | kora-chan: when you open a conversation window it is in the Options menu | 01:21 |
| mindrape | so if you kick off a download on compA then move to compB to finish you'd need both the files where you were saving to and probably state info from the programs directory. | 01:21 |
| k_wolf | mindrape: thanks. | 01:21 |
| jtaji | mabus: it's all good in jaunty, btw ;) | 01:21 |
| kora-chan | th0r: ahhh thanks a lot, i looked like 10 times through the preferences and didnt find it | 01:22 |
| mabus | jtaji: it was indeed the client's fault, thanks. | 01:22 |
| jtaji | mabus: there's also a repo to get just the latest transmission | 01:22 |
| jtaji | mabus: no prob | 01:22 |
| mabus | another rtorrent session hash checked it fine | 01:22 |
| mindrape | snell - CTRL ALT F1-F6 gets you to console... ALT F7 to get back. If X wont start you can restart gdm/kdm processes. | 01:22 |
| zaccour | i got the gparted gui open, how do i know which one of the 3 is the flash drive? | 01:25 |
| jbroome | zaccour: there's a drop down in the upper right that shows your drives | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zaccour: its size will match the size of the usb stick | 01:25 |
| mindrape | zaccour - usually the naming convention... sda = local harddisks. | 01:25 |
| helper | what does this mean ! May 19 03:13:16 : kad : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/home/kad ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/simple-restore-gnome | 01:26 |
| zaccour | oh i didn't see that, thanks | 01:26 |
| mindrape | zaccour - also you can ls -alh /dev/disk/by-id and that will hopefully be more obvious. | 01:26 |
| zaccour | ok now how do i destroy everything on the flash drive in the gparted gui? | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | zaccour: just remove the partition | 01:27 |
| rww | helper: It means the user "kad" attempted to run "/usr/sbin/simple-restore-gnome", but isn't set up with administrative privilages in the sudoers file. | 01:27 |
| mindrape | !sudo | helper | 01:27 |
| ubottu | helper: 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) | 01:27 |
| Mion | zaccour: if you are a member of the tinfoil hat club, just dd it once with /dev/zero | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | helper: is the user 'kad' in the group 'admin'? | 01:27 |
| snell | how do i restart gnome? | 01:27 |
| snell | just sudo restart gdm? | 01:27 |
| helper | ActionParsnip, yes | 01:28 |
| Mion | snell: ctrl-alt-backspace | 01:28 |
| zaccour | i don't see the option to remove partition | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | snell: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 01:28 |
| taget_ | mindrape i tired adding that to the end of the start file like you described but it did not work.? any other suggestions. the program i am tryin to launch is mp3blaster with a specific playlist. is there a certain runlevel it should be on ? | 01:28 |
| Sagaci | !gksudo | 01:28 |
| 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) | 01:28 |
| smilingbob | ctrl alt backspace only works in 8.10 or before | 01:28 |
| mindrape | taget_ oh... its going to launch it in console only... you want to launch it after you get into your session from GDM? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | smilingbob: it can be re-enabled | 01:28 |
| helper | ActionParsnip, but was changed it's uid and someone help me here the gnome seems be broken with user kad i removed it and re-create it again | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !nozap | smilingbob | 01:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nozap | 01:28 |
| mindrape | taget_ there will be a different place to put it... hold.. lemme look. | 01:28 |
| helper | ActionParsnip, i give now kad 1001 give me error : kad : May 18 23:13:05 : 1000 : uid 1000 does not exist in the passwd file! ; TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=unknown ; USER=root ; COMMAND=usermod | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !dontzap | smilingbob | 01:29 |
| smilingbob | ActionParsnip, yes but this is not by default | 01:29 |
| ubottu | smilingbob: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | smilingbob: but it doesnt only work in 8.10 or before then does it ;) | 01:29 |
| prappl93 | Does anyone know a standalone yahoo client? | 01:29 |

| AdamG1 | Anyone here running Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a Dell Mini who had a recent update that crapped everything up? | 01:41 |
| Kaie` | has anyone heard of an issue with connecting ubuntu to a ddwrt ran network? | 01:41 |
| dotblank | Kaie`, I am running a dd-wrt net and seems to be working fine... | 01:41 |
| Kaie` | maybe an issue with it saying its connected but theres no connectivity and then the manager says "connected to (none)" | 01:41 |
| Kaie` | done a reboot and everything. none of my other devices have any issues connection | 01:42 |
| wasntme | wan or lan | 01:42 |
| dotblank | Kaie`, odd... do you have dhcp enabled? | 01:42 |
| AdamG1 | since I tried to have an update last Friday, it's been telling me the hard drive it's full, and I can't log into anything in Firefox, and it won't shut down when instructed to | 01:42 |

| mzz | syntax\: I think there are scripts that monitor dbus activity but I haven't really used them | 02:20 |
| mindrape | progre55 - you can use >> to append to it. | 02:21 |
| mzz | syntax\: check if it's still failing without it? | 02:21 |
| progre55 | mindrape, yeah, I was thinking about it.. but how to add a line to the start of the file? | 02:21 |
| progre55 | :) | 02:21 |
| mindrape | progre55 - never done that before... I'm sure there is a quick way... lemme google. | 02:21 |
| syntax\ | mzz: i removed the applet, its still on 100. -_- | 02:22 |
| progre55 | mindrape, hehe :) thanks dude, appreciate!) | 02:22 |
| dotblank | progre55, you can do this echo test | cat - file > new file | 02:22 |
| maccam94 | does pref->keyboard take effect immediately, or do I have to log out/in? | 02:22 |
| VCoolio | syntax\: I'm thinking, it may be the very script in conky you just successfully activated... Kill conky, run rhythmbox and check your cpu activity in terminal with 'top' | 02:22 |

| maccam94 | dotblank: ah it does work. i figured it out! under layout options -> misc compatibility -> shift with numeric pad keys works as in windows | 02:24 |
| dotblank | my solution was such a hack :) | 02:24 |
| helper | dotblank, actually the user i didn't give it read permission, i only give permissions to group | 02:24 |
| pegon | plipityploop, what do you have running right now? weird for it too slow down that badly | 02:24 |
| mindrape | mroc - you can manually edit it... apt-get should have run all the automatic scripts for you though.... I'd consult !grub | 02:24 |
| syntax\ | sudo, sudo and indicator-apple are the 3 top process | 02:24 |

| mindrape | !grub > mroc | 02:26 |

| DrunkJedi | I look at tty, and all I see is a looping DRDY error | 02:29 |
| VCoolio | syntax\: yes, but the real problem may be another app that is looking at rhythmbox, since dbus is very high and not rhythbox. What is indicator applet, does that do something with rhythmbox? Anyhow, I'm not much help on this and also going to bed. Good luck | 02:29 |
| plipityploop | pegon it doesnt highlight - i tried both - and i tried in xterm and gnome-terminal - i am using htop by the way. sorry ill try to google how to | 02:30 |
| aaditya | plipityploop: there are several listed under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Unix | 02:30 |

| DrunkJedi | dotblank - thanks, I already saw that page. I used the disk checker that comes with the 9.04 bootable, gave me a single error.... The rest of the drive seems to run A-OK, I suspect it might just be that particular it, hence why I was wondering about overwriting with 9.04 | 02:35 |
| pegon | plipityploop, I notice you have a lot of duplicates running not sure if thats a copy problem or not but you have a lot running twice especially getty | 02:35 |
| kyledr | is there an easy way to change resolution with xorg without using gnome? it's a dual monitor thing and the resolution is set for the laptop not the tv | 02:35 |
| robert-_- | iamtechno, It doesn't support SSL though does it? | 02:35 |
| iamtechno | robert-_-: Let me check. | 02:36 |
| dotblank | DrunkJedi, yea go for but make sure you backup | 02:36 |
| syntax\ | thats the output of dbus-monitor --session | 02:36 |
| plipityploop | pegon: im doing man htop - apparently htop >> output.txt is outputting all of these weirdly | 02:36 |
| robert-_- | aaditya, hold on let me try | 02:36 |
| iamtechno | robert-_-: Yes it does support SSL. | 02:37 |
| aaditya | robert-_-: if you have a choice, use sftp (file transfer over ssh) instead of ftp with SSL | 02:37 |
| aaditya | robert-_-: sftp is much easier to use | 02:37 |

| mzz | syntax\: and is that just dbus-monitor or dbus-monitor --session? | 02:38 |
| mzz | syntax\: (iirc it defaults to "system" which probably isn't the failing one) | 02:38 |
| aaditya | pi-meson: what does the crash look like? does it freeze? which chipset? | 02:38 |
| dotblank | DrunkJedi, well what you can do is boot the 9.04 and go into your drive BEFORE installing | 02:38 |
| mzz | pi-meson: /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old for starters | 02:38 |
| dotblank | live cd = win | 02:39 |
| pi-meson | aaditya: I get kicked back to the login screen; nvidia graphics, proprietary driver, jaunty | 02:39 |
| syntax\ | mzz: dbus-monitor --session gives me that output | 02:39 |
| pegon | pi-meson, by some chance you aren't by accident hitting ctrl alt backspace are you? | 02:39 |
| pi-meson | mzz: Okay, so it kicked me to login, and i logged back in. Is the .old still valid? | 02:39 |
| aaditya | pi-meson: could be the gdm crashing. as mzz said, let's start with Xorg.0.log... | 02:40 |
| pi-meson | pegon: no, I'm pretty sure I'm not | 02:40 |
| syntax\ | mzz: it gives it like a loop, displays over and over | 02:40 |
| dotblank | pi-meson, bad xconfig?.. try mv /etc/X11/xorg.con ./backup.xorg and then nvidia-xconfig | 02:40 |
| mzz | pi-meson: look at the bottom (or pastebin and have us look) | 02:40 |

| mzz | syntax\: (while dbus is using too much cpu, that is) | 02:42 |

| thiebaude | AutoMatriX: i tried adobe reader | 02:50 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest8228 | ||
| iamtechno | thiebaude, Acrobat reader bites on linux | 02:50 |
| AutoMatriX | thiebaude, and does that program let you 'open' and modify a document ? or is this just a ead-only program ? | 02:50 |
| iamtechno | thiebaude, try the built in one that comes with GNOME or KDE | 02:51 |
| thiebaude | AutoMatriX: i just view pdf's from the internet with it | 02:51 |
| mindrape | AutoMatrix - you want to just copy a page from a PDF to a separate PDF? | 02:51 |
| thiebaude | iamtechno: that's a good one too | 02:51 |
| mindrape | or you want to actually edit the PDF document and copy a portion of a page onto itself? | 02:51 |
| === ameier is now known as zer0rez | ||
| mindrape | AutoMatriX: because I think 1) OpenOffice can edit PDFs if you import them then write back out to PDF. | 02:52 |
| mindrape | 2) if you want to just copy part of a PDF you can open it up, print it, and choose save to file and select PDF instead. | 02:52 |

| thiebaude | you want to split it | 02:53 |
| Bassmasta | hey all. i'm using WinXP and i can't get the umenu.exe to even run once i've opened the .iso file. it says "invalid cd detected". any ideas? | 02:53 |

| dotblank | syntax\, have no fear for it is easy... | 02:59 |
| mindrape | Bassmasta - you cant just boot from a harddrive containing an .iso file... you'd need to extract the iso file at a minimum and make the drive bootable. | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | syntax\: thats odd.. the hardware-drivers tool found teh nvidia driver for my 5500.. but it was a clean install | 03:00 |
| mindrape | Bassmasta - I'd recommend getting a livecd and burning it to disk. :) | 03:00 |
| syntax\ | dotblank: what should i do? and also compiz is not working anymore :( | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !find nvidia | 03:01 |

| Bassmasta | mindrape - ok. i'll just do that then. thanks! | 03:01 |
| mindrape | Bassmasta - if you want to use a version of linux that can boot from a USB device try pendrivelinux. | 03:01 |
| syntax\ | thats why im asking for the howto on a manual install :D | 03:01 |

| dotblank | syntax\, dont worry. the geforce fx 5500 is only supported by the 173.14.x series of nvidia drivers.. installing those nvidia drivers from synaptic will solve your problem | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | i wonnder what nvidia drivers for the 5500 - Im pretty sure its NOT the nvida-180 because my 2 nvidia box's use different cards and different drivbers. | 03:01 |

| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 03:02 |

| Gnea | syntax\: 173 | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: ive had fusesmb work and not work.. :( it can be.. flakey. heh | 03:03 |

| mikejet | what's the easiest way to set up a php webserver? I'm thinking of lighttp... looking for suggestions. | 03:03 |
| mikejet | ... apache is kind of overwhelming. | 03:03 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Anyone know what might be wrong with my system and gaming mouse freezups? Are we still just waiting for stable NVIDIA drivers for 9.04? My handbrake wont run at all with 185.51.And the 185.53 that i have installed causes mouse lockups during open arena and nexuiz. | 03:04 |
| syntax\ | thanks Gnea and dotblank i'll try to fix it tonight.. | 03:04 |
| thiebaude1 | whats the name of the ubuntu default pdf viewer? | 03:04 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: I have had good luck with it in the past. Couldn't figure out this problem til just now. Need to get the fuse module and arrange to install it. | 03:04 |
| Gnea | syntax\: i'd start by making sure no version of nvidia-glx-BLAH is installed and just go from there... | 03:04 |
| Gnea | thiebaude1: evince | 03:04 |
| thiebaude1 | thanks Gnea | 03:04 |
| dotblank | *gasp* a linux user without a shell | 03:04 |
| Gnea | cheers | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: whats the package name - seems odd i can install fusesmb and it dosent grab that pacakge also.. sounds like a bug report time! | 03:04 |
| mrwes | Anyone using a Flip Video HD with Jaunty? | 03:04 |
| thiebaude1 | dotblank: im back at home now | 03:04 |
| Gnea | LinuxGuy2009: nvidia works fine here | 03:05 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: my thoughts exactly. I assumed fuse was present when fusesmb installed. Google seems to indicate this is a known problem | 03:05 |
| Gnea | LinuxGuy2009: which card do you have? | 03:05 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Dang i wonder whats up with my system then. | 03:05 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | 8300 onboard | 03:05 |
| Gnea | LinuxGuy2009: and where did you install the gfx driver from? the repository or straight from nvidia.com? | 03:06 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | nvidia.com | 03:06 |
| Gnea | ah, that's the problem | 03:06 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: somthing seems odd. :) sshfs (which uses fuse) does work.. but fusesmb dont.. let me try it again | 03:06 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: here is a url indicating a patch for 7.10...but I wouldn't try to install that patch on 9.04 | 03:06 |
| Gnea | you.. can't use it from nvidia.com, you have to install it from the repository and do it the ubuntu-way, otherwise problems occur | 03:06 |
| plipityploop | hi pegon | 03:06 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | ok Ill restore my fresh backup and try that.Ill see what happens.Thank you. | 03:07 |
| Gnea | LinuxGuy2009: so you'll need to uninstall what you've installed from nvidia.com | 03:07 |
| mikejet | How do I fix this? "apt-get install lighttpd" returns Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main libgamin0 0.1.8-1ubuntu3 | 03:07 |
| pegon | hey plipityploop | 03:07 |
| Gnea | LinuxGuy2009: cool, good luck | 03:07 |
| mikejet | 404 Not Found | 03:07 |
| plipityploop | pegon: my pc froze | 03:07 |
| pegon | ahhh okay | 03:07 |
| plipityploop | pegon i have to hard restart - press reset button. sorry | 03:08 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: yea ive had some bug reports out on fusesmb for the last 2 releses or so.. it has been problematic under several different disrtos... Its working on 2 of my machines now at least. :) | 03:08 |
| pegon | plipityploop, its np | 03:08 |
| plipityploop | pegon can i pm u? | 03:08 |
| pegon | plipityploop, yeah | 03:08 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: it dident work on another one the other day.. but i will try it again tomorrow | 03:08 |
| iamtechno | cylex, you still there? | 03:10 |
| mikejet | Have the feisty updates been removed on us.archive.ubuntu.com ? | 03:10 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: is the fuse module loaded (lsmod) | 03:10 |
| iamtechno | mikejet: As far as I know yes | 03:11 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: it is on the 2 machines that are working. the machine i had befor with smbfuse not working WAS using the ssh fuse stuff.. so im pretty sure the module was loaded.. buti will check it tomorrow | 03:11 |
| firefly2442 | mikejet: I think Feisty has been end-of-lifed (EOL) | 03:11 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: sure would like to know where the fuse module came from...what deb needs to be loaded | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: odd.. fusesmb IS working here.. and lsmod shows NO fuse module loaded... :) | 03:12 |
| ktulu- | anyone having issues with the gutsy repositories? they seem to be down | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | ktulu-: that makes sense, gutsy is no longer supported | 03:13 |
| ktulu- | did this happen recently? | 03:13 |
| iamtechno | Question: How do I check that I'm running OpenGL 3.0? My video card can handle 3.0 and I want to use it but glxinfo reports 2.1 | 03:13 |
| Pici | ktulu-: Gutsy's EOL was April 18th | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | ktulu: that's been about a month now | 03:14 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: do you know how gnome is mapping the network? I know I can view the network in gnome, but I am trying to get xfce up and running | 03:14 |
| ktulu- | well today is exactly a month since then... i guess they gave a month leeway | 03:14 |
| mikejet | Ugh. I really can't reinstall the whole server this week. | 03:14 |

| gouldie | I am a new Ubuntu user who is trying to get my burner to work but am having issues. Can anyone help me? | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | ktulu-: you should be able to upgrade to 8.04 | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: gnome 'browses' the window snetworks.. it dosent actually mount them (i think) one reason i perfer fusesmb | 03:15 |
| iamtechno | gamepockets, whats going on that you need help with? | 03:15 |
| swamptin | hey lads, I'm looking at adding skype on eeebuntu base. it's not in the standard repositaries.... does anyone know if there is a repository I can add for it? | 03:15 |
| mikejet | How do I add http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ to my list of repos apt-get looks at? (im on feisty) | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | gamepockets: as I just said to the other guy 7.10 is no longer supported | 03:15 |
| iamtechno | swamptin, try medibuntu | 03:16 |
| gamepockets | i can't install any updates or add any packages... | 03:16 |
| gamepockets | fresh install | 03:16 |
| sebsebseb | gamepockets: yes see above | 03:16 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: I just checked and the network mountpoint is mounted with fusesmb, so maybe it is working,but not showing anything | 03:16 |
| gamepockets | ahhh! | 03:16 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | can someone help me with chipset unknown on eth1 in aircrack-ng? | 03:16 |
| sebsebseb | gamepockets: why did you just clean install 7.10? | 03:16 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ii have 9.04 | 03:17 |
| iamtechno | mikejet: try adding it in to System->Admin->Software Sources | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: you did edit the users .smb/fusesmb.conf file? | 03:17 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | i dont know | 03:17 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ive been on it for past 10 days | 03:17 |
| gouldie | does anyone know why a burner would be acknowledged as a burner but then it says "no medium present" when there is a disk inserted? | 03:17 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | installing everythin in the planet | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | gamepockets: put 8.04 the long term support, or 8.10, or 9.04 on. and you can probably upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 | 03:17 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: yes, got my username and password in it. As a matter of fact, I got my old fusesmb.conf file from my old webpage | 03:18 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | i direcly had 9.04 installed on my computer | 03:18 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | that too i had windows | 03:18 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | and i install on my harddrive by mistake | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: be sure you have the permissions right. :) also fusesmb can run in a debug mode. | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | ktulu-: leeway well 7.10 was one of the best releases, if not the best | 03:18 |
| gamepockets | i have a mac g3 and need something stable, have tried 8.04+ with bad results.. | 03:18 |
| iamtechno | mikejet, add it into third party software | 03:18 |
| ktulu- | yeah, it's been good | 03:19 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | can someone IM me | 03:19 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | help me | 03:19 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | please | 03:19 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | i would be so happy | 03:19 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | & thankful | 03:19 |
| FloodBot3 | dflpridesbabyboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:19 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | can someone help me with chipset unknown on eth1 in aircrack-ng? | 03:19 |
| ktulu- | heard of people downgrading from their newer versions so i didn't really feel the urge to upgrade | 03:19 |
| iamtechno | Question: How do I check that I'm running OpenGL 3.0? My video card can handle 3.0 and I want to use it but glxinfo reports 2.1 | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | ktulu-: 8.04 and all that pulse nonsense and it's LTS hummm. in a way 7.10 should have been the LTS | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | ktulu-: puleaudio above | 03:19 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: just doublechecked....fusesmb.conf is 600, as is fusesmb.cache | 03:19 |
| Bob_Dole | how do I find how much space is left on a HD via CLI? SSH'd into a system that either has a dying HD...or is out of space | 03:20 |
| gamepockets | can u still get apps for 7.10? | 03:20 |
| firefly2442 | Bob_Dole: use "df" | 03:20 |
| ktulu- | nope | 03:20 |
| iamtechno | Bob_Dole, try du and fiddle with the options | 03:20 |
| ktulu- | repos have been taken offline apparently | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | gamepockets: if you install yourself from outside the repos sure you can, however now really you should upgrade to at least 8.04.2 | 03:20 |
| gamepockets | great.. all i need is mp3 support and an ftp client.. | 03:21 |
| firefly2442 | Bob_Dole: df -h (this gives human readable output) | 03:21 |

| gouldie | I am new to Ubuntu and the whole linux world and have tried several places like this for assistance but have been unsuccessful at getting any help. Does anyone know what avenues would be helpful in some problem solving of ubuntu when this avenue I guess is not the most helpful route? | 03:21 |
| nomasteryoda | gamepockets, i meant you | 03:21 |
| iamtechno | firefly2442, Yeah I didn't think of that. Good reply. | 03:21 |
| Bob_Dole | the HD is full...looks like I have some work to do @.@ | 03:22 |
| gamepockets | tried to update to the next up but got a calculate error... | 03:22 |
| iamtechno | Bob_Dole, If you can afford the down time, you might just do a clean wipe... | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: I use 'fusesmb /home/username/Network (for example) and check who 'owns' the Mountpoint you just used fusesmb on. when i was having issue befor. it was always owned by root.. Its working now.. and owned by my user. | 03:22 |

| iamtechno | gouldie, You can try linuxquestions.org | 03:23 |
| gamepockets | update manager says system is up to date | 03:24 |
| * Dr_Willis re-re-rereads gouldie 's question | 03:24 | |
| firefly2442 | gouldie: or the ubuntu forums (ubuntuforums.org) | 03:24 |
| Bob_Dole | what level of difficulty is it to migrate to a larger HD without doing a new install? I got a lot of things done to that system I don't remember how to do. | 03:24 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: it is owned right now by me:me. But I chown'ed it just before mounting it to me:fuse | 03:24 |
| gouldie | I just am trying to get my burner to work and it is not working | 03:24 |
| === Butcher is now known as ShazbotMcNasty | ||
| Dr_Willis | th0r: Hmm.. I dident think the owner/permissions of a mountpoint 'befor' you mounted somthing to it.. mattered at all. :) | 03:24 |
| gouldie | firefly, i have tried that with no success. Other options? | 03:24 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: but I am using /media/network. Maybe I will move it back to ~/Network (which was my original setup) | 03:25 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | lolwow | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: yea. I fine ~/Network more logical :) | 03:25 |
| firefly2442 | gouldie: hmm, dunno sorry, sometimes the forums can be a little hit and miss when it comes to good responses | 03:25 |
| iamtechno | Bob_Dole, From what I remember just plug and play. Just be sure set it up to automount you're new hdd. If you want it like that. | 03:25 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | For some reason - my dvd drive doesn't work - the light turns on on startup - but about five seconds after startup it just locks up | 03:25 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | HAX0R i sent you a text file can you please read it & help em | 03:26 |
| Bob_Dole | Iamtechno it has a 750GigiByte(not gibi) SATA drive in it, but it boots from a 10GB IDE drive. | 03:26 |
| nick_schembri | gouldie: did our drive work before you installed linux? | 03:26 |
| tardy | Lately my system has been freezing randomly and I am not sure how to go about debugging what causes it | 03:26 |
| gouldie | Dr_willis have you ever heard of a burner (in this case 2 of them) being acknowledged as burners but when you enter a blank cd, it says "no medium present" | 03:26 |
| iamtechno | Bob_Dole, Is your SATA drive in a RAID at all? | 03:26 |
| gouldie | nick_ it did. I was running Xp and was kinda apprehensive to the whole "linux world" | 03:27 |
| gouldie | but have been delightfully surprised | 03:27 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | any ideas why my dvd drive fails? | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: check that the /dev/dvd* and related links are correct perhaps.. or fallback to the command line burner apps and see if they succsuffuly burn. It could be somthing as simple as a messed up link in /dev/ | 03:27 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I've tried two different drives - they both fail. | 03:27 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: change the mountpoint, fusesmb mounts without complaint, but still nothing there | 03:27 |
| Bob_Dole | iamtechno: No. But it is NTFS, and not ext3. No idea why, it never had windows on it. | 03:27 |
| navatwo | can anyone help me out setting up ubu correctly? I've royally fucked up all day. :( | 03:27 |
| bullgard4 | What is a 'Xapian index'? | 03:27 |
| gouldie | dr_willis i am a newbie to all this, can you break that down for me a little? | 03:28 |
| nick_schembri | gouldie: do you have two cdrom drives in your system> | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: try the 'debug' optiuon to see if it says anything.. Now ya know why i find fusesmb a little flakey | 03:28 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | anyone in here know about chipset driver unknow | 03:28 |
| navatwo | is there a way to remove a copy of ubu from my hd? | 03:28 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | unknown | 03:28 |
| navatwo | I have two os's loaded some how.. | 03:28 |
| gouldie | nick_ yes, and i tried to hook up an external burner and it was unsuccessful as well. | 03:28 |
| foolishbr | I have formatted an external harddrive with mkfs.ext3 | 03:28 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | & how to fix that error | 03:28 |
| iamtechno | Bob_Dole, Then if you have and extra SATA slot open, just add it in. As far as the filesystem goes its user preference | 03:28 |
| fuzzybunny69y | hey everyone there is a wheelchair icon in the gnome system tray that I would like to remove does anyone know how I would go about removing it | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: the burners have /dev/XXX names.. those names are just nicely named links. if they are incorrect some apps get confusd | 03:28 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: yeah....but it is worth it. I consider linux my geek escape...wouldn't want it if it was as easy as vista <smile> | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: ls -l /dev/dvdrw | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-05-15 12:54 /dev/dvdrw -> sr0 | 03:28 |
| foolishbr | but now whenever I create file there it always ask for password | 03:28 |
| jeniffer | hello friends I am runing Xvesa as X server. I would like to know if there is any configuration file ( like /etc/X11/xorg.conf for Xorg ) that allows me to indicate a driver I want the X thanks! | 03:28 |
| tardy | navatwo, you can just wipe the partition that has the one you don't want | 03:28 |
| foolishbr | is there a way to disable hat? | 03:28 |
| gouldie | dr_willis | 03:29 |
| navatwo | tardy: mind walking me through it? | 03:29 |
| iamtechno | fuzzybunny69y, right click on the menu and edit menus | 03:29 |
| navatwo | I have GParted open | 03:29 |
| gouldie | dr_willis, how do i find those names, in the terminal or where? | 03:29 |
| navatwo | I'm on the Try Ubuntu thing off my disc | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: trust me i beat and hacked and slapped that stuff around and eventually gave up.. it would work fine on one box.. then not another.. then it would fail one day.. then work the next.. :) at least now it seems to be working fo r me. | 03:29 |
| nick_schembri | Dr_Willis: I think gouldie is not picking the correct drive when he loads media | 03:29 |
| navatwo | I know I'm asking a lot. | 03:29 |
| tardy | navatwo, I am not really knowledgeable enough to provide a good walkthrough | 03:29 |
| Bob_Dole | Iamtechno: so I could use acronis, backup the Ubuntu 8.04 install, then just copy that to a new SATA/IDE drive and expand it and expect it to work? | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: look in /dev/ there should be some 'dvd' and 'dvdrw' files those are links to the real device. | 03:30 |
| navatwo | tardy: thanks for admitting that. Rather than throwing me a loop. :) | 03:30 |
| fuzzybunny69y | iamtechno, it seems to be the icon for the Universal Access Preferences but none of the features are enabled so I am not sure why it is there | 03:30 |

| Dr_Willis | gouldie: look in /dev/ there should be some 'dvd' and 'dvdrw' files those are links to the real device. | 03:30 |
| gouldie | nick_ tried using several of them but now k3b | 03:30 |
| iamtechno | Bob_Dole, I have no clue on that. I have never done it that way. | 03:30 |
| gouldie | dr_willis, let me check | 03:31 |
| iamtechno | fuzzybunny69y, When you edit the menu, just delete it if you have no use for it | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: this is when its often handier to fall back to the console based tools where you tell them exactly what to do. If you have 2 optical drives., one is /dev/sr0 and the other should be /dev/sr1 :) | 03:31 |
| nick_schembri | gouldie: what is the goal? burn an iso or add files to a disk | 03:31 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: I think I found it. fuse.cache is locked by gvfs,-fuse-daemon, which I think is the gnome network browser | 03:31 |

| gouldie | what should it say? | 03:35 |
| morningwalker | iamtechno: switching back to gnome | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: as a good troubleshooting method. run 'k3b' from a terminal and look at the messages it gives.. it might give a clue whats going on. | 03:35 |
| nick_schembri | fudd: they have a debian port of the software. that all i can see | 03:35 |

| KB1JWQ | Tasem: Try #python | 03:35 |
| Tasem | O: Oh, thank you | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: k3b has some settings menus to configure the devices to be using. if it fails to auto-detect them right. | 03:36 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ok Im back after restoring a fresh install backup of 9.04 and installed the nvidia GLX drivers that ubuntu recomends.Not sure yet if my gaming freezes are gone, however this driver doesnt seem to like my handbrake installation.The handbrake window doesnt load completely and freezes the system.Any takers? | 03:36 |
| gouldie | dr_willis I have a burner that acknowledges that it is a burner but when i insert a cd or try to burn it says, no medium present | 03:36 |
| iamtechno | fuzzybunny69y, You're welcome. Glad you figured it out. I thought it was in your menu like when you click apps | 03:36 |
| ktulu- | i found a backup of the gutsy repos at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 03:36 |
| iamtechno | !handbrake | 03:36 |
| ubottu | handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr | 03:36 |
| chemikalz | iv been running the latest ubuntu with out knowing it | 03:36 |
| chemikalz | LOL | 03:36 |
| chemikalz | until i tried to go to vista i didnt know | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: put disk in.. then run k3b? :) | 03:37 |
| chemikalz | i was like why cant i install this | 03:37 |
| iamtechno | LinuxGuy2009, If you're comfortable on the CLI try mencoder | 03:37 |
| nick_schembri | Dr_Willis: i think he is burning to disk 1 with a disk in drive 2 | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | nick_schembri: :) whats why i suggested checking out the k3b settings | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: put a blank disk in both drives? :) | 03:38 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | well handbrake works if i use the nvidia.com drivers.It just doesnt like the 180.44 that ubuntu wants to use.wierd | 03:38 |
| foolishbr | I have just formatted an external hard disk using this command: | 03:38 |
| foolishbr | $ sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 | 03:38 |
| gouldie | dr-willis, already there | 03:38 |
| foolishbr | However, once this is done, whenever I want to create a directory or file in this hard disk, it always ask for password (i.e. permission requirement). | 03:38 |
| foolishbr | Is there a way I can disable that? | 03:38 |
| FloodBot3 | foolishbr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:38 |
| leachim6 | hey... I just upgraded to jaunty | 03:39 |

| morningwalker | how can i remove kde, i already have gnomne installed | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | gouldie: well its about my bed time. so im not sure if i can be much more help other then to suggest seeing what k3b says from a termianl window if you run it from there. | 03:40 |

| nick_schembri | zedster: vlc for me | 03:46 |
| navetz_ | firefly2442: ah okay i have used ffmpeg before, what format do you reccommend encoding in? | 03:46 |

| Bold` | Hello.. A quick question, whats the difference between Ubuntu, and Xubuntu ? I read that Kubuntu is basicly Ubuntu w/ KDE.. but couldnt find a quick answer to identify the difference | 03:57 |
| firefly2442 | Bold`: xubuntu uses xfce ( a different window manager) | 03:57 |
| Bold` | firefly2442, what is the window manager with ubuntu ? | 03:58 |
| lstarnes | firefly2442, Bold`: xfce is a different desktop environment, now just a window manager. Regular ubuntu uses gnome | 03:58 |
| lstarnes | *not just | 03:58 |
| Bold` | oh | 03:58 |
| chemikalz | you have to pay for ssh | 03:58 |
| firefly2442 | Bold`: lstarnes: ahh thanks for the clarification, sorry | 03:58 |
| boingba | hello | 03:58 |
| Bold` | Ubuntu= Gnome, Kubunto= KDE, Xubunto= XFCE... and rest are all the same.. right ? | 03:58 |
| boingba | does anyone know about gvfs? | 03:59 |
| iam_techno | usser: sorry my net connection is really bad here | 03:59 |
| nomasteryoda | !gvfs | 03:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gvfs | 03:59 |
| riwe | test | 03:59 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, are you having a problem or something? gvfs is how gnome integrates multiple file system types into Nautilus, the file manager | 03:59 |
| Decepticon | test failed! | 03:59 |
| nomasteryoda | wow | 03:59 |
| boingba | rdw200169, can i kill it? | 03:59 |
| Bold` | thank you firefly2442 & lstarnes .. that was fine :) | 04:00 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, why do you want to? | 04:00 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, are you having mounting problems or something? | 04:00 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, if you are, there is a better way to resolve it | 04:00 |
| DanaG | Anyone know what would make CUPS give "403 forbidden" on the web interface? | 04:00 |
| boingba | rdw200169, im trying to make ubuntu lean and mean | 04:00 |
| DanaG | http://localhost:631 | 04:00 |
| DanaG | go to "admin" | 04:00 |
| boingba | rdw200169, i am trimming processes which i do not need. | 04:01 |
| losher | Bold`: unless your machine is very small/slow, there's probably no reason to favor xubuntu | 04:01 |
| boingba | rdw200169, i am trimming processes which i do not need so i could get the best performance | 04:01 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, honestly, i wouldn't do that. its just way to useful for me. if you kill gvfs, you lose all the functionality of nautilus | 04:01 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, if that is even possible | 04:01 |
| riwe | hay friend ... | 04:01 |
| chetnick | does ubuntu work good with other window managers? | 04:01 |
| lstarnes | chetnick: yes | 04:01 |
| riwe | iam new be ... ubuntu ... | 04:01 |
| tjz | anyone know why my keyboard is mismatch when i vnc to my remote ubuntu desktop? | 04:01 |
| boingba | rdw200169, ohhhh, so like the automount thing that nautilus does? | 04:01 |
| riwe | ican instal ... xampp ... | 04:01 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, if you're trying to improve performance, it would be better to research what kind of tweaks you can perform in gconf, or use a different gui type thing, like xfce | 04:02 |
| rdw200169 | boingba, yes. | 04:02 |
| corigo | What is the name of the non 3g NTFS driver that uses the actual MS ntfs.sys file? | 04:02 |
| chetnick | lstarnes: no need to change anything, just install other window manager and change session? | 04:02 |
| Bold` | losher, well.. the machine is fine.. 2.33 Due CPU, 4 GB RAM w/ 2 HDD 250 G each, blah blah... etc | 04:02 |
| lstarnes | chetnick: yes | 04:02 |
| nomasteryoda | !apache |riwe | 04:02 |
| DanaG | CUPS admin used to work fine for me... now it's broken! | 04:02 |
| ubottu | riwe: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 04:02 |
| boingba | rdw200169, hmmm i dont need any of that. i am using openbox | 04:02 |
| chetnick | lstarnes: thanks. | 04:02 |
| losher | Bold`: I'd go with regular Ubuntu | 04:02 |
| nomasteryoda | riwe, use that instead | 04:02 |
| boingba | rdw200169, i literally see a black screen on startup :) | 04:02 |
| losher | Bold`: I'd go with regular Ubuntu in that case... | 04:02 |
| DanaG | Please, somebody check if your cups gives a 403. | 04:02 |
| boingba | rdw200169, any cluse how i can prevent gvfs from loading? | 04:03 |
| DanaG | http://localhost:631/admin | 04:03 |
| boingba | *clues | 04:03 |
| Bold` | losher, may I ask why not Kubuntu ? :) do you prefere Gnome ?? | 04:03 |
| jigp | hello goodmorning. ubuntu 9.04 hanged..so i had to press 5 seconds the power so that it will turn off..what happen?why hanged?fresh install of ubuntu 9.04...should i go to ubuntu 10.04?which is more stable? | 04:03 |
| nomasteryoda | boingba, then using server version would be slim enough... | 04:03 |
| gdfs | why does the same programm run faster in Debian than Ubuntu? | 04:03 |
| gex | I use widget layer (compiz) with screenlet.py, when I start a gnome session, the widget layer is on. Is there a way to set the widget to off when a gnome session is started? | 04:04 |
| boingba | gdfs what program? | 04:04 |
| jigp | when i switch from gnoe to kde no hang now | 04:04 |
| losher | Bold`: Actually I personally don't use either, but I think gnome has more users, & so better support... | 04:04 |
| lstarnes | losher: for a long time (and possibly now) kde had more users | 04:04 |
| boingba | nomasteryoda, thats too slim.. i still need x to run 3d games... | 04:04 |
| Bold` | losher, thanks for clarifying.. ! :) | 04:05 |
| losher | lstartnes: I thought kde was 'going away'.... | 04:05 |
| lstarnes | losher: what do you mean by that? | 04:05 |
| nomasteryoda | boingba, then add what you need .. say fluxbox or openbox ... x would install as dependency | 04:05 |
| DanaG | Does NOBODY have the time to check CUPS? | 04:05 |
| DanaG | http://localhost:631/admin | 04:05 |

| nomasteryoda | boingba, and i would bet gvfs would not be there... with fluxbox | 04:06 |
| rdw200169 | DanaG, you want us to look at your CUPS or something? | 04:06 |

| sebumd | !compiz | 04:06 |
| nomasteryoda | rdw200169, right... if he started with just server version, then added fluxbox... gnome would not be on the box | 04:06 |
| boingba | nomasteryoda, i could remove gnome... but then i would not have gdm | 04:07 |
| abalone | I lost the password that went with this nick, any idea what to do? | 04:07 |
| lstarnes | abalone: join #freenode and ask about it there | 04:07 |
| abalone | ok | 04:07 |
| nomasteryoda | right... don't really need gdm .. .you can startx with xinit scripts | 04:07 |
| boingba | nomasteryoda, i noticed that killing gdm as a process - turns my screen bloacker | 04:07 |
| nomasteryoda | lol | 04:07 |
| boingba | *blacker | 04:07 |

| nomasteryoda | that too | 04:08 |
| boingba | nomasteryoda, thanks for the info. that is interesting | 04:08 |
| losher | lstartnes: there were licensing issues with older versions of Qt that made it less popular with people who cared about such things. I think that's improved now though. ref the kde page on wilkipedia | 04:08 |

| askvictor1 | does enabling visual effects (i.e. compiz) slow down or speed up the system? i.e. if visual effects are switched off, does any window rendering get done via the GPU? | 04:09 |
| lstarnes | losher: I don't think those licensing issues are as much of a problem now. Qt has been available under the GPL for a long time, but commercial licenses were avilable for use in proprietary programs. I think Qt might be available under the LGPL now | 04:09 |
| losher | boingba: you can, but you'll need to be pretty nifty with the cli | 04:09 |
| boingba | losher, i am medium beginner - if there is such a word | 04:10 |

For someone who isn't an old fart like me, I'd say you're probably better off with the standard gnome or kde environment, so people can support you if you run into problems. | 04:16 |

| Titan8990 | scribawf, just needs the windows lines in menu.lst | 04:18 |
| scribawf | Titan890; ty ok will do just that | 04:18 |
| losher | boingba: well, no reason not to go with either of them, except that support will be a bit harder to come by | 04:18 |
| JECHO | scribawf i have those lines for the menu.list file if you want them | 04:18 |
| scribawf | Jeco; yes that certainly would be helpful | 04:19 |
| boingba | losher its ok, i have triple boot and i am now in the mood for further experimentation | 04:20 |
| losher | boingba: good for you! | 04:20 |

| brunotorres | Howdy people. I'm doing a fresh install of ubuntu. I was a linux hard user a long time ago, but have never used it agin since. I have a doubt: what's the best file system to use nowadays? | 04:23 |
| brunotorres | it's my personal computer, a laptop, 320gb hd 5400 rpm, core 2 duo, 4 gb, etc | 04:24 |
| ptc | since i upgraded to Jaunty, i am having SLOW VIDEO (youtube, mplayer, everything...) When I watch the video at its normal size, it's faster. If I full-screen it, it's slow. I suspect that perhaps X is no longer using the 'xv' driver or using a poorly-chosen video driver. any ideas? | 04:24 |
| coz_ | boingba, well are you running ubuntu 9.04? | 04:24 |
| boingba | coz_, ok here goes | 04:24 |
| f31n | @ brunotorres ext3? | 04:25 |
| coz_ | ptc, did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 04:25 |
| cast|lir | ptc: guessing, does mplayer -vo xv vid.avi exhibit that behavior? or does it whine that it can't use xv | 04:25 |
| * boingba puts a stop to argument before it happens ... end | 04:25 | |
| coz_ | ptc, and did you set mplayer up in preferences | 04:25 |
| coz_ | boingba, no big explanation necessary just are you trying ubuntu 9.04 ? :) | 04:25 |
| losher | boingba: I can't say I find any of them are unresponsive, I'm run 8.04 on a quad core, cpu isn't an issue. I just like a clean machine | 04:25 |
| brunotorres | f31n what about xfs, jfs and ext4? | 04:26 |
| Bob_Dole | isn't ext4 still having bugs? | 04:26 |
| dsabecky | Bob_Dole Yes. | 04:26 |
| losher | boingba: 9.04 did feel a bit sluggish to me compared to 8.04 I have to say | 04:27 |
| dsabecky | I'm waiting for ZFS to be supported. | 04:27 |
| mzz | brunotorres: ext3 is solid and usually performs acceptably. ext4 is still very new, so you may not want to trust your /home to it just yet. I have no experience with xfs and jfs. | 04:27 |
| Newbuntu | Will a grep serach entiredirectorys including sub directorys? | 04:27 |
| mzz | Newbuntu: if you pass it -r it will | 04:27 |
| Newbuntu | mzz ty | 04:27 |
| dev29aug | hii | 04:28 |
| cast|lir | dsabecky: supported in what? | 04:28 |
| boingba | losher, are you using any desktop environment? | 04:28 |
| MrPockets | hey fellas. If i want to change the file that Evolution calls when it plays a sound on new messages | 04:28 |
| brunotorres | thanks mzz and f31n | 04:28 |
| mzz | brunotorres: so if you're installing 9.04 right now one option would be using ext3 for /home and ext4 for everything else, then converting /home to ext4 at some point in the future (this can be done in-place) | 04:28 |
| MrPockets | what directory would I start looking in? | 04:28 |
| cast|lir | XFS is a pretty good filesystem, :) | 04:28 |
| dsabecky | cast|lir In the Ubuntu install. Doing it by hand is beyond too much work. | 04:28 |
| Titan8990 | MrPockets, lol | 04:28 |
| Bold` | why ubuntu 8.x is supported till 2011 while 9.x is only till 2010 ? | 04:28 |
| dsabecky | Bold`: LTS | 04:29 |
| mzz | !lts | Bold` | 04:29 |
| ubottu | Bold`: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 04:29 |

| boingba | losher im going to do nomasteryoda's instructions on how to start ubuntu without gdm - direct to a window manager | 04:29 |
| MrPockets | Titan8990, 'heh right? | 04:29 |
| ptc | cast|lir: xv seems to be working fine | 04:29 |
| Newbuntu | mzz so if i want to search from my current dir i would "grep x -r" x beening the quiery | 04:29 |
| losher | boingba: no desktop, just fvwm. I do most of my stuff in a terminal window (old fashioned)... | 04:29 |
| cast|lir | dsabecky: unlikely ZFS will go into Linux, btrfs is where efforts are being directed as i gather | 04:29 |
| Newbuntu | being* | 04:29 |
| ptc | coz_: no, i didn't. should i? | 04:29 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | Does anyone know why its not possible to mount an SMB filesystem? | 04:30 |
| nomasteryoda | fvwm is even lighter... | 04:30 |
| Bold` | ubottu, kernel and apps (after update) are the same ? | 04:30 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:30 |
| nomasteryoda | and good and cool | 04:30 |
| boingba | losher, my kind of man | 04:30 |
| mzz | Newbuntu: you have to include "." after the query. | 04:30 |
| Bold` | I am confused.. not sure what to install | 04:30 |
| coz_ | ptc, yes sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and then when that is done let me know when you open mplayer and right click on the main window go to preferences | 04:30 |
| losher | boingba: I'm just old... | 04:30 |
| dsabecky | cast|lir: I don't see why it won't. Oracle bought Sun, and since Orable has a Linux based OS, they will more than likely port it. | 04:30 |
| mzz | Newbuntu: "grep -r blah .". Without the "." it will just sit there waiting for input on stdin. | 04:30 |
| boingba | losher, im 27 if its any consolation | 04:30 |
| boingba | :) | 04:30 |
| ptc | coz_: fwiw, i'm on Kubuntu but trying to switch to Ubuntu | 04:30 |
| Bold` | mzz, kernel and apps (after update) are the same ? | 04:30 |
| Newbuntu | mzz ok | 04:31 |
| ptc | coz_: also, kubuntu-restricted-extras is installed | 04:31 |
| mzz | Bold`: I don't understand the question. | 04:31 |
| nomasteryoda | ptc, you can also install smplayer and get a good frontend to mplayer | 04:31 |
| coz_ | ptc, oh ok | 04:31 |
| ptc | nomasteryoda: any better than gmplayer? | 04:31 |
| losher | boingba: Also, I don't like giving up screen real estate to panels. Even on 22 inch displays... | 04:31 |
| ptc | while this is installing, i have another question... | 04:31 |
| Bold` | mzz, 8.x and 9.x after getting the updates are the same then ? I am asking because I am confused and dont know what to install | 04:31 |
| boingba | losher, me too! i dont have one as of the momeny | 04:31 |

| ptc | i have Guifications enabled in pidgin (i'm using it right now). however, this annoying OSD display appears from "indicator-applet" every time a message comes in | 04:32 |
| ptc | i uninstalled "indicator-applet" yet it's still appearing | 04:33 |
| mzz | Bold`: the versions of various packages in 8.04 is considerably older. They're only updated to fix security issues, I think. | 04:33 |

| un_dave | can someone suggest a torrent client, other than azureus, which will support ssl, and scheduling torrents by group, or label etc. ? | 04:33 |
| ptc | coz_: i'm in Preferences | 04:33 |
| cast|lir | dsabecky: well, unless ZFS is relicenced inder the GPLv2 it's unlikely :) you're right, oracle might. or oracle might try to leverage opensolaris to it's advantage - which may mean keeping it under the CDDL | 04:33 |
| ptc | coz_: it's using xv | 04:34 |

| coz_ | ptc, then move over to the Codecs & demuxer tab | 04:34 |
| losher | Bold`: For a first timer, I think 8.04 is a good choice | 04:34 |
| ptc | ptc: it is. the problem is not just with mplayer. it's with any videl | 04:34 |

| Roasted | In Ubuntu, if I right click a hard drive and go to properties, it says 170.3 GB used. Under system properties, it says the same disk has 181.0 GiB used. 170.3 GB versus 181.0 GiB. I understand GB and GiB is slightly different but which one is more accurate to look at when trying to gauge disk space remaining? | 05:01 |
| raptor | I am getting a segmentation error with firefox 3 crashes on gmail and other sites | 05:01 |
| raptor | not flash related, and I have already tried reinstalling firefox | 05:01 |

| raptor | can someone help me figure out why ubuntu is crashing? I believe it has to do with a new kernel update | 05:02 |
| mzz | jigp: you're probably using konsole currently if you use kde. Perhaps try xterm? | 05:02 |
| AgentHeX | mzz: do you know the path to the switch? this feels a bit like win32's regedit, and i'm totally not familiar. | 05:02 |

| AgentHeX | mzz: alright, i see a "position" key in /apps/panel/default_setup/applets/indicator_applet. i changed it, but it seems to be in the same position as before. it was on 4, and i changed to 3. do changes take effecte immediately? | 05:05 |

| jigp | mzz : forr gnome what to use? | 05:08 |
| mzz | jigp: what did you change? | 05:08 |
| jigp | mzz : i just type: xterm in the terminal and it works very fast | 05:08 |
| mzz | AgentHeX: I think that's an applet indicating your keyboard layout | 05:08 |
| jigp | mzz : i just type in kde terminal "xterm" and it shows xterm a very light terminal | 05:09 |
| mzz | jigp: so it's konsole? Might want to find some more kde-oriented channel and ask in there if there's some configuration thing you can use to fix this | 05:09 |
| AgentHeX | the identifier-applet is a little thing in the panel that has a mail icon. i don't know if it's related, but pidgin's plugin is called libnotify | 05:09 |

| Flannel | alex87: http://arunstephens.com/2008/11/21/ssh-slow-to-login-disable-reverse-dns-lookup | 05:54 |
| dylan_ | lstarnes, so wouldn't that have something to do with it (using gdm not kdm) ? | 05:55 |
| alex87 | Flannel: cheers! | 05:55 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | im running ubuntu 9.04 cr0w | 05:55 |
| lstarnes | dylan_: is xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin installed? | 05:55 |
| cr0w | thanks :p | 05:55 |
| YangYin | does anyone else know if they have libxcb-xlib? | 05:55 |
| chuck_ | dflpridesbabyboy, what are you trying to do get ndiswrapper working? | 05:55 |
| mzz | YangYin: running what? Most likely jaunty is using libxcb-1.2 which no longer has that library. Nothing but libX11 should have been using it, but some libraries or apps accidentally linked directly t o libxcb-xlib instead of just picking it up through libX11 | 05:55 |
| dylan_ | yes | 05:55 |
| dylan_ | lstarnes, yes | 05:55 |
| ubuntu | hi.. | 05:55 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | how do i run dbus ltarnes" | 05:55 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | no my chipset is unknow | 05:56 |
| ubuntu | can't boot windows... | 05:56 |
| ubuntu | my boot menu list is.. | 05:56 |
| YangYin | mzz i think thats the problem... guess i gotta wait for the update to the program | 05:56 |
| cr0w | dfl what do you mean unknown? | 05:56 |
| ubuntu | # on /dev/sdb1 | 05:56 |

| ubuntu | map(hd0) (hd1) | 05:56 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | im trying to put it in monitor mode so it can read | 05:56 |
| mzz | YangYin: (so the right fix here is most likely to recompile the app or lib against the newer libX11+libxcb you have, not to find libxcb-xlib) | 05:56 |
| lstarnes | dylan_: I'm not sure how to get it working | 05:56 |
| dylan_ | ok thanks lstarnes | 05:56 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, reading the link that soreau send me, bcm43xx is now old, the driver u need to use is b43 | 05:56 |
| cr0w | does everything EXCEPT aircrack work? | 05:57 |
| YangYin | mzz its not my application... but is there a way i can lib agianst the new libx11+libxcd? | 05:57 |
| ubuntu | my drive is at /dev/sda1 | 05:57 |
| mzz | YangYin: if you have the source to the app you're trying to run you should be able to rebuild it and fix this in the process. If you don't it may be harder. | 05:58 |
| andresj | hey im trying to have a seamless desktop like in <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization>. However, rdesktop keeps telling me "WARNING: Broken Window Manager: Timeout while waiting for ConfigureNotify", "WARNING: Broken Window Manager: doesn't handle restack (window was moved to bottom)", and "WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24; falling back to 16". I wonder what could be wrong—I'm using Ubunt | 05:58 |
| andresj | u Jaunty amd64 with no effects. | 05:58 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43 if u wanna know more about it | 05:58 |
| YangYin | mzz no dice on access to the app source | 05:58 |
| mzz | YangYin: what's the app? | 05:58 |
| ubuntu | hi pls.. anybody.. | 05:58 |
| evilGUI | Is PPTP secure enough for a VPN connection? how hard is it to crack at 128bit? | 05:58 |
| YangYin | 2xApplicationServer client app | 05:58 |
| evilGUI | Also is openvpn more secure? | 05:59 |
| YangYin | its a free version of a citrix application | 05:59 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | i install b43 before i donno the steps where to download it | 05:59 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | grrrrrrrrrrr | 05:59 |
| YangYin | mzz im checking forums for possible help | 05:59 |
| mzz | YangYin: I'd check with their support then | 05:59 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | no one here know anyone about managed mode & monitor mode: | 05:59 |
| ed2ef | the shit on this driver, is that u need the driver and the proprietary firmware | 05:59 |
| Flannel | ed2ef: Please mind your language. | 06:00 |
| Dulak | evilGUI: openvpn allows arbitrary key sizes it's more secure the bigger the key you use | 06:00 |
| mzz | YangYin: you might be able to get away with hacking up the binaries to remove the dependency, or producing a dummy libxcb-xlib.so to fulfill the dependency, but if for some bizarre reason they actually *use* libxcb-xlib that may fail spectacularly. | 06:00 |
| ed2ef | Flannel, sorry | 06:00 |
| cr0w | dflprides have you tried the aircrack IRC channel? | 06:00 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ed2ef can you help me get this driver & put the patch on it i mean tell me some how i can do it:?? | 06:00 |
| Dulak | evilGUI: I would only use pptp in a situation where the client was stuck on windows without admin privs to install openvpn | 06:00 |
| YangYin | mzz lol i suppose i could try | 06:00 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | no cr0w im totally new | 06:00 |
| cr0w | it's in freenode, the channel is #aircrack-ng | 06:01 |
| mzz | YangYin: (they really shouldn't be using lixcb-xlib though, unless they're doing something weird like including a modified libX11...) | 06:01 |
| soreau | dflpridesbabyboy: #aircrack-ng or http://aircrack-ng.org | 06:01 |
| evilGUI | Dulak: Alright, I'm paying for a VPS and am using PPTP right now, I guess I'll switch thanks. | 06:01 |
| evilGUI | Dulak: VPN* | 06:01 |
| cr0w | they'll probably be alot more help | 06:01 |
| ed2ef | i think not, i dont have a broadcom wireless card, and the wiki is incompleted | 06:01 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | cr0w this whole problem i have is in aircrack-ng | 06:01 |
| Dulak | evilGUI: for windows clients there is an app called openvpn gui, I have used that in several installations, including my mother's laptop for online banking through the vpn, it's very easy to use | 06:02 |
| YangYin | mzz not sure what they do, but i found they are working on new update that is compatable with jaunty | 06:02 |
| YangYin | mzz im not too worried | 06:02 |
| YangYin | mzz thnx for all the help tho | 06:02 |
| YangYin | mzz very informative | 06:02 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, looking on packages.ubuntu.com, i found the b43 module on linux-image and linux-restricted-module | 06:03 |
| mzz | YangYin: didn't actually fix the problem though :) | 06:03 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, u just need to get the firmware, blacklist the ndis and reboot | 06:03 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ed2ef ive been on that site i couldnt understand anything | 06:03 |
| YangYin | mzz lol no but understand the problem which sometimes is acceptable. | 06:03 |
| cr0w | dflpridesbabyboy, that means that the bcm43xx drivers SHOULD already be installed in your system.. | 06:04 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, the driver is on ur computer(open a terminal and type "sudo modprobe -l | grep b43" and u ll see it) | 06:04 |
| cr0w | (unless you've blacklisted them) | 06:04 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, u just need the firmware to make it work | 06:04 |
| simoncpu | YangYin: do you have Updog? | 06:04 |
| YangYin | updog? | 06:05 |
| billybigrigger | haha | 06:05 |
| YangYin | lol whats up dawg? | 06:05 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/b43legacy.ko this is where it is | 06:05 |
| IcemanV9 | uptime in dog years? ;-) | 06:05 |
| YangYin | simoncpu: are you serious? | 06:05 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | doesnt all this have to go in certain forlder too? | 06:06 |
| simoncpu | YangYin: no, i'm not serious | 06:06 |
| simoncpu | i've been asking this question for quite a while | 06:06 |
| YangYin | oh alright well night thnx mzz | 06:06 |
| simoncpu | and i can't bait a single person into typing | 06:06 |
| simoncpu | "what's updog?" | 06:06 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | where will i find the firmware i have firmware under lib/ | 06:06 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | firmware | 06:06 |
| IcemanV9 | updog = urban dictionary? | 06:07 |
| * bc asdfghjkl | 06:07 | |
| Flannel | Regardless, it's offtopic. | 06:07 |
| ed2ef | see, the driver is already on ur ubuntu, u just need the firmware, and that u can extract from the windows driver with the b43-fwcutter or getting the ready-package from http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ | 06:07 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43 this is on the bottom of this page | 06:07 |
| ftp3 | is this: Ubuntu Server 8.0.4.2 "heron" ? | 06:08 |
| ftp3 | i mean, hardy, lol | 06:08 |
| lstarnes | ftp3: 8.04 - 8.04.2 is hardy heron | 06:08 |
| Kiradien | Is it possible possible to turn an existing Ubuntu installation into an iso to easily reinstall the exact same settings etc - other than the users? | 06:08 |
| simoncpu | Kiradien: i dunno... use dd, perhaps? | 06:09 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | i dont even know where this kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy.ko" | 06:09 |
| ftp3 | lstarns, thanks | 06:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | ed2ef: how reliable is that broadcom package on cafuego? (i have limited broadcom experience) | 06:11 |
| Kiradien | I didnt expect the first ping I heared to give an answer I could use, thanks | 06:12 |
| cr0w | dfl, look in /sys | 06:12 |
| dylan_ | how do I get klauncher in Xubuntu 9.04 ? | 06:12 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | l0l thankx cr0w: | 06:12 |
| cr0w | :o was that sarcasm? | 06:12 |
| seo | :P | 06:13 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | dang i fell for it too | 06:13 |
| cr0w | now i'm confused - anyways, you find it? | 06:13 |
| dylan_ | anyone ? now how to get klauncher running / installed for xubuntu ? | 06:14 |
| cr0w | @dylan, why don't you just install kde and then boot into xfce? | 06:14 |
| mrlolplx | a vnc viewer for ubuntu that features c/p | 06:14 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | props to eb2ef | 06:15 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | thank you | 06:15 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | i really understood a little" | 06:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | cr0w: ?...lol.. thats like buying a ferrari to go to the grocery store | 06:15 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | now how do i patch b43legacy | 06:15 |
| cr0w | pft, what else is a hard drive for :]? | 06:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 06:15 |
| cr0w | i live in america, we're lazy | 06:15 |
| pegon | just a general question...who in here uses iptables as a firewall? | 06:16 |
| Rakko | I just installed Jaunty on an Athlon64. WindowMaker crashes on me. Anyone familiar with this problem? | 06:16 |
| pegon | No idea what WindowMaker is Rakko sorry | 06:18 |
| Rakko | Also, I rebuilt the .deb. I used DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug noopt", but it seems it still stripped debugging info out. How do I prevent that? | 06:19 |
| cr0w | pegon it's a window manager, like fluxbox or blackbox | 06:19 |
| pegon | ahhh okay | 06:19 |
| Rakko | Question #3: I am able to run gdb on the program using its dumped core file, but I can't figure out how to pass arguments to it. Anyone know? | 06:20 |
| cr0w | Rakko, unfortunately i'd suggest finding a more specific channel to your issues o.O | 06:21 |
| === Tetracomm is now known as Dorward | ||
| ed2ef | IndyGunFreak, idk, i just say what was in the link that i post | 06:21 |
| Rakko | specific to what? | 06:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | ed2ef: understood.. just curious how it works. | 06:21 |
| cr0w | your problems..like a window maker channel for the one a while ago | 06:22 |
| Rakko | oh | 06:22 |
| Rakko | there's a problem with the ubuntu package so I thought I'd ask here | 06:22 |
| Brack10 | Is there some way I can listen to music on one computer and do visualization on the other? | 06:22 |
| Rakko | admittedly I haven't tried compiling it from scratch (just dpkg-buildpackage) | 06:22 |
| Brack10 | pulseaudio client server maybe? | 06:22 |
| Brack10 | does it work over the network? | 06:23 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, i find this site, maybe this can help to get ur card to work with b43 http://fourlovesfour.blogspot.com/2008/05/setting-up-broadcom-b43-wireless-with.html | 06:26 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, remeber blacklist the ndiswrapper before the reboot or it probably wont work | 06:26 |
| Noble | Can anyone check if my vlc http stream is working? | 06:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Noble: sure... link? | 06:27 |
| Noble | http at @ 81.166.203.158 port 1234 | 06:27 |
| diane | hey | 06:28 |
| bc | Brack10: yes, pulseaudio. I have no experience doing that, but I know it's possible because Gnea configured it that way. | 06:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | Noble: doesn't look like it | 06:29 |
| Noble | get any kind of error? | 06:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | just says VLC is unable to open the URL http://81.166.203.158" | 06:29 |
| Noble | you have to specify the port | 06:29 |
| diane | any wireless pros | 06:30 |
| Noble | vlc http://81.166.203.152:1234 | 06:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | Noble: 1234 is the default, but ok | 06:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | same error | 06:31 |
| Noble | strange | 06:31 |
| Noble | got some other guy to play it | 06:31 |
| Noble | and it works there :S | 06:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, i listen to streaming audio w/ VLC all the time.. no problems | 06:31 |
| Noble | I see | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | god this pisses me off.. | 06:32 |
| Noble | thanks anyways | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | yahoo servers keep rejecting email from my server. | 06:32 |
| Noble | use an smtp relay? | 06:33 |
| grendal_prime | and i have a ton of people that are trying to register | 06:33 |
| bc | grendal_prime: that sounds about right for yahoo. | 06:33 |
| diane | gmail | 06:33 |
| bc | grendal_prime: does the server's IP resolve? | 06:33 |
| Titan8990 | grendal_prime, dns misconfigurations is the most common cause | 06:33 |
| grendal_prime | noble, The relay i was using (my isp) limits the number of emails i can send. | 06:33 |
| bc | grendal_prime: maybe put up some SPF records and see if they start accepting it | 06:34 |
| grendal_prime | bc, i need to set up an mx record for it i belive..the server resolves though | 06:34 |
| Noble | grendal_prime: afaik yahoo, msn and other "big" companies auto reject mail from unknown servers | 06:34 |
| Titan8990 | grendal_prime, yes.... mx record is a requirement for all domains whether they run main or not | 06:34 |
| grendal_prime | ok | 06:34 |
| Titan8990 | err run mail | 06:34 |
| grendal_prime | im looking at that now. | 06:34 |
| bc | Noble: "unknown servers" is pretty vague | 06:35 |
| whatvn | grendal_prime: you must ask your isp to reverse ip adress to your domain, I think | 06:35 |
| Noble | bc: well, uhm, unknow as in untrusted. Or not whitelisted I believe. | 06:35 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ed2ef im still confused weather i should use b43 or ndis | 06:36 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | because i tried using ndis before and messed everything up" | 06:36 |
| Titan8990 | grendal_prime, ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1912.txt | 06:36 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | sorry i was trying to copy files | 06:36 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | how do i copy files from one folder to another | 06:36 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | like windows i coulda just drag in forlder | 06:37 |
| Rakko | cp source destination | 06:37 |
| whatvn | <dflpridesbabyboy>: ctrlC then ctrl V :| | 06:37 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ubuntu im having hardtime moving files from my desktop to the firmware | 06:37 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, to the firmware? | 06:37 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | titan are you familiar with aircrack | 06:37 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware | 06:38 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | monitor mode chipset unknown error | 06:38 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, yes I am | 06:38 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | how can i fix that | 06:38 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | i would really appriciate | 06:38 |
| whatvn | <dflpridesbabyboy>: with aircrack you should ask packetstorm | 06:38 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, use a driver thats supported by aircrack | 06:38 |
| whatvn | sorry: remote-exploit | 06:38 |
| Titan8990 | whatvn, not really | 06:38 |
| amagee | hi i'm using ubuntu 9.04 with two monitors using nvidia and xinerama, and sometimes my mouse will get stuck one one monitor and refuse to move to the other. it persists like this until i close most if not all of the windows i have open (i'm using xmonad as a window manager). any ideas what i can do about this? | 06:38 |
| Titan8990 | whatvn, #aircrack-ng | 06:38 |
| grendal_prime | Titan8990: im looking at the account now on networksolutions..there is an mx record for it | 06:39 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | like b43legecy | 06:39 |
| whatvn | Titan8990: I don't remember irc channel exactly | 06:39 |
| === les_ is now known as les | ||
| Titan8990 | whatvn, i am on remote-exploit all the time and i can guarentee they will either a) ban him b) tell him to rtfm | 06:39 |
| whatvn | Titan8990: ok | 06:39 |
| Titan8990 | grendal_prime, does it point to an ip or a domain name? | 06:39 |
| grendal_prime | domain name | 06:40 |
| grendal_prime | my domain name | 06:40 |
| === Xor1ng_ is now known as Xor1ng | ||
| dflpridesbabyboy | titan are you familiar with RFMON enable? | 06:41 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | enable monitor mode? | 06:41 |
| whatvn | grendal_prime: if you have an email server, I think you *should* ask your isp to reverse your ip to your domain, they will please to do it | 06:41 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ineed a good turtorial | 06:41 |
| Rakko | How do I ensure that a program is built with debugging info, using dpkg-buildpackage? I am already using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug noopt" dpkg-buildpackage -nc -us -uc | 06:41 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | anyone about patching & getting the correct drivers | 06:41 |
| ed2ef | i think u dont need to patch anymore | 06:42 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers&DokuWiki=aeb455658ad5fb024ffa4860eea14413#broadcom_chipset_comments | 06:42 |
| ed2ef | u just need to decide what driver u wanna use, the ndis or the b43 | 06:42 |
| Titan8990 | ed2ef, ndis will never be supported by aircrack | 06:42 |
| grendal_prime | I dont know that these guys are able to do that..but, anther idea would be to use ..like a gmail account as a realay. They have opened up my account so i can relay smtp. So i guess i could set up my gmail account as a smart host sort of deal? | 06:42 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, you still have to patch the mac80211 stack with the b43 drivers | 06:42 |
| ed2ef | i know that, but he couldn't get to work the other driver | 06:43 |
| navetz__ | where is the ffmpeg directory on my system? I installed the program but dont know where the dir is | 06:43 |
| Titan8990 | grendal_prime, not if your mass mailing | 06:43 |
| whatvn | <dflpridesbabyboy>: can you bring up your network card? | 06:43 |
| bc | grendal_prime: or you can use your isp's smtp as a relay just for mail destined for yahoo.com | 06:43 |
| grendal_prime | ya but im not...at moset...50 emails? | 06:43 |
| Titan8990 | grendal_prime, per day? | 06:43 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | yes eth1 | 06:43 |
| grendal_prime | bc i had the same problem with the isp though | 06:43 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | chipset unknown tho | 06:43 |
| grendal_prime | titan..ya, | 06:44 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | titan so i have b43 driver already | 06:44 |
| grendal_prime | roughly, it is going up pretty steadily, but they are not all at one time...here there usually a few min/15 seconds apart. | 06:44 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, what chipset? | 06:44 |
| ed2ef | u got the firmware? | 06:44 |
| bc | grendal_prime: what is the reply from yahoo mx when you try to send? | 06:44 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | and now i need mac80211 patch which ive seen around and what i do which folder i put in how do i patch it? | 06:44 |
| grendal_prime | hold on ill get log info | 06:44 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | airmon-ng start eth1 | 06:44 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, you shouldn't worry yourself with aircrack if you don't even have working wireless | 06:45 |

| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, lspci | 06:45 |
| ed2ef | dflpridesbabyboy, u need to extract the firmware on /lib/firmware | 06:45 |

| Titan8990 | chemikalz, man aircrack-ng will list the other commands in the suite at the end of the man page | 06:47 |
| holycow | its maxing only one core and google isnt revealing too much around the how and why of this | 06:47 |
| brad__ | hi hoeq! | 06:48 |
| ed2ef | well, my laptop battery is going down, so i ll have to quit, dflpridesbabyboy if u wanna go for the b43, follow this guide http://fourlovesfour.blogspot.com/2008/05/setting-up-broadcom-b43-wireless-with.html | 06:48 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | so i put the driver b43 all files in lib/firmware | 06:48 |
| ed2ef | blacklist the ndiswrapper module | 06:48 |
| noc | hi | 06:49 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | and then download firware for b43 | 06:49 |
| ed2ef | and unblacklist the b43 | 06:49 |
| noc | hi | 06:49 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | and like titan said patch it with mac802 | 06:49 |
| noc | any body there? | 06:49 |
| ed2ef | no no, follow the link | 06:49 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | & i should resolve this problem? | 06:49 |
| whatvn | <dflpridesbabyboy>: I don't think you need to patch | 06:49 |
| ed2ef | u need just need to download the firmware and extract to /lib/firmware | 06:49 |
| noc | I'd like to use Printer and Modem on Ubuntu OS | 06:49 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, honestly, i doubt with your experience you will get that kind of thing working for a while | 06:49 |
| dflpridesbabyboy | ed2ef thank you very much for all your help | 06:49 |
| noc | how can I do it | 06:49 |
| Titan8990 | dflpridesbabyboy, just focus on making your wireless work | 06:50 |
| ed2ef | then blacklist ndiswrapper and unblacklist the b43 module | 06:50 |
| DonP | Hi | 06:50 |

| bc | grendal_prime: also make sure your server's ip resolves, the domain resolves and the domain in the mx record resolves and its IP resolves. | 06:50 |
| Titan8990 | ed2ef, he does need to patch if he wants to inject | 06:50 |

| Titan8990 | ed2ef, although, Im not recommending he does it | 06:50 |

| ed2ef | Titan8990, ya, i really dunno dude, i agree that b43 it's not the probably the best driver ever, but if he need to get the monitor mode, this is the only way | 06:51 |

| Titan8990 | mejobloggs, if you didn't format yourself, then i doubt it is | 07:45 |

| mejobloggs | oh yeah sorry.... /dev/sdc1 on /media/backupstore1 type ext3 (rw) | 07:46 |
| whatvn | aixenv: it don't work :D? I think you can try a tool, like wifi rada to force it uses N standard | 07:46 |
| aixenv | the tool is "wifi" ? | 07:47 |
| aixenv | ahh 'wifi-radar' found it | 07:47 |
| Titan8990 | mejobloggs, try changing ownership: sudo chown -R mejobloggs:mejobloggs /media/filestore1 | 07:47 |
| Titan8990 | mejobloggs, also, you should take advantage of rsync's robust exclude options | 07:47 |

| aixenv | whatvn: trying to open it now | 07:48 |
| Titan8990 | mejobloggs, you have to look with -a to show hidden | 07:48 |
| whatvn | aixenv: and hope it works :) | 07:48 |
| raylu | Titan8990: the trash folder is a backup of stuff you deleted; that in itself doesn't make much sense to me :D | 07:48 |

| gnomefreak | Titan8990: that is not what he said | 08:21 |
| boyet | start, just edit your menu then find the system tools there you can find the root terminal and tick the bos | 08:21 |
| Titan8990 | gnomefreak, alright, sorry, just won't touch it | 08:21 |
| boyet | box | 08:21 |
| Madpilot | Titan8990, if we removed everyone taking advantage of open wireless, there'd be a lot fewer people in this channel... | 08:22 |
| LaZyFo0L | i just got the laptop, its pretty old. I just want to get wirless working, I cant plug it in to the net cause i am stealing my net from my neighbor. I need the hardware driver so i can install it, | 08:22 |
| LaZyFo0L | is there anyplace i can download it from? | 08:22 |
| gnomefreak | Titan8990: he is looking for drivers. the fact that he is stealing a net connection could mean that either he is using wifi or the guy let him. | 08:22 |
| Kangarooo | hello how can I restore deleted files? Is there a file recovery on ubuntu with gui? | 08:22 |
| LaZyFo0L | the guy knows im using it. | 08:23 |
| LaZyFo0L | my net gets turned on next week | 08:23 |
| Slart | Kangarooo: check out.. photorec.. or search in synaptic for recover.. I'm not sure which ones use a gui though | 08:23 |
| Titan8990 | gnomefreak, Madpilot, sorry for the bother, im just going to leave it alone | 08:23 |
| Gourlis | LaZyFo0L, it's ok don't mind. I have my router open so everyone can connect in my neighboor :D | 08:23 |
| gnomefreak | LaZyFo0L: either get the drivers from packages.ubuntu.com or install them on your Ubuntu PC from archives. atm you have a net connection so use it while you still can | 08:24 |
| * gnomefreak goes back to work | 08:24 | |
| LaZyFo0L | thanks | 08:25 |
| Ciros | LaZyFo0L: if you know what wireless card you have, then you can download what you need, and then install it | 08:25 |
| boyet | yeah we have the root terminal icon but who cares if aint working but just wondering why..since we have many options to run as root in terminal | 08:25 |
| Kangarooo | Slart: ok photorec is only for photos?? | 08:26 |
| Madpilot | boyet, which version of Ubuntu are you running? root terminal has been gone from the menus for quite a while | 08:26 |
| Slart | Kangarooo: nope.. it just started out as an app for recovering photos | 08:26 |
| Gourlis | gnomefreak, I can find anything on packages.ubuntu.com about my ATI Radeon graphics card ? :D | 08:26 |
| boyet | 9.04 | 08:26 |
| Madpilot | Gourlis, what model of ati card? | 08:27 |
| Gourlis | Madpilot, ATI Radeon RS490M X1200 as I saw so far, isn't supported on Ubuntu 9.04 but I'm still searching. | 08:28 |
| Slart | boyet: I found an old shortcut in "system tools".. it points to "gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator".. when I try to run that in another terminal I get "Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting." | 08:28 |
| LaZyFo0L | well hardware drivers says i need the broadcom b43 wireless driver. | 08:29 |
| boyet | slart: yeah thats it thats what i mean | 08:29 |
| Ciros | 9.04 only has a terminal unless you are talking about perhaps kubuntu o.O atleast my version doesnt have it | 08:29 |
| Chr|s | How do I change the color of text on panels? I forgot o.0 | 08:29 |
| Gourlis | Madpilot, do you know anything about my problem? | 08:30 |
| Slart | boyet: I have no idea why it doesn't work.. perhaps the root user doesn't have all the config settings needed for running weird x stuff.. I can't run "gksudo gnome-terminal" either.. same error message | 08:31 |
| Madpilot | Gourlis, sorry, my ati card is quite a bit older - and fully supported with open-source drivers now | 08:31 |
| Slart | Chr|s: system, preferences, appearance... perhaps | 08:31 |
| Pingviller26 | I just installed ubuntu server 9.04 on a test server, and then tried to get fluxbox to work.. which failed a bit, it starts and shows a desktop, quite dull one, but the menus can't start anything and nothing really happens while trying to do stuff inside fluxbox.. anyone know if I just installed an old package or if I'm missing something else? | 08:32 |
| gnomefreak | Madpilot: root term is in system tools you may have to enable it fro mainmenu menu item | 08:32 |
| Gourlis | Madpilot, on 9.04 when I put normal effects my screen flashes all the time. So, I don't know which drivers am I using now but am with No effects. | 08:32 |
| kraut | moin | 08:33 |
| Madpilot | gnomefreak, forgot that existed - I've got the whole System Tools sub-menu invisible, which is (I think?) stock setting for it | 08:33 |
| Madpilot | Gourlis, what does System->Admin->Hardware Drivers tell you? | 08:34 |
| gnomefreak | Madpilot: no it should be visable with at least one or 2 things | 08:34 |
| Gourlis | Madpilot, it shows out only wireless drivers. | 08:34 |
| Madpilot | gnomefreak, interesting, I must have disabled it at some point, because nearly everything in it is duplicated elsewhere | 08:34 |
| gnomefreak | now that is odd Madpilot | 08:35 |
| gnomefreak | by default gdebi and some others are there by defualt IIRC | 08:35 |
| gnomefreak | ironicly i use e16 more than i do gnome. shhh dont tell anyone ;) | 08:36 |
| Gourlis | Madpilot, it shows out only 1 point, wireless drivers. | 08:36 |
| Madpilot | true, gdebi is there - but double-clicking on a .deb launches that nicely | 08:36 |
| shyam | CarlFK: finally got it working!;-) | 08:36 |
| gnomefreak | Madpilot: yep it does but i dont think i have ever used it | 08:36 |
| Madpilot | Gourlis, you might be out of luck for 3d support for your card for now, then | 08:37 |
| Gourlis | Madpilot, I'm hopping with ubuntu's next release my drivers get fixed! | 08:37 |
| Gourlis | :] | 08:37 |
| gnomefreak | gregL: what card? | 08:37 |
| gnomefreak | oops sorry gregL | 08:38 |
| gnomefreak | Gourlis: what card? and yes ati support isnt all that great | 08:38 |
| Gourlis | gnomefreak, ATI Radeon RS490M X1200. On 8.04 was detected. on 9.04 no luck! | 08:38 |
| Bodsda | Is it possible to install linux (not necessarily ubuntu) or run the live cd without the use of 'any' removeable media? | 08:39 |
| stxing | what kind of video cards is best supported by Ubuntu?Intel?nvidia? | 08:39 |
| gnomefreak | Gourlis: that shouldnt have changed did it work on 8.10 by chance? | 08:39 |
| boyet | slart: some policy changes i think in debian folk? | 08:39 |
| microcai | Bodsda: the answer is yes | 08:39 |
| Gourlis | gnomefreak, yeah also worked on 8.10 | 08:39 |
| Slart | boyet: possible | 08:40 |
| Bodsda | microcai: cool, got links to any documentation about it? | 08:40 |
| Kangarooo | Slart: oh ok I found and its not gui but.. I don't know.. its in terminal working but I can movewith up down selection.. and can I add one more search posibility? it doesn't gives possibility to search .js files :( | 08:40 |
| LaZyFo0L | i run nvidia 9800 gtx with 9.04 and have no problems with anything, i play counterstrike source with 60 fps in wine. | 08:40 |
| gnomefreak | Gourlis: than it shouldnt be a problem did you install them using hardware devices or using synaptic/apt/dpkg? | 08:40 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: did you try envyng-core? | 08:40 |
| Gourlis | gnomefreak, I didn't want to stay out of updates and releases so I upgraded on 9.04 as I do always but no luck of support on 9.04. | 08:40 |
| microcai | Bodsda: I've wrote it . but that's not in english | 08:40 |
| Bodsda | stxing: not necessarily supported 'by' ubuntu but nvidia do an excellent job of providing linux drivers | 08:40 |
| Bodsda | microcai: got any english linkies? | 08:40 |
| boyet | slart: it doenst matter anyway since we have many options to run as root...thanks | 08:41 |
| microcai | Bodsda: Do you know how to use GURB ? | 08:41 |
| Gourlis | gnomefreak & whatvn, No I'm a newbie on ubuntu I don't know much that's why am searching all the time. :] | 08:41 |
| Slart | Kangarooo: there are some other programs that work in the same way... try one of the other hits from synaptic.. | 08:41 |
| Bodsda | microcai: I know the basics of editing menu.lst yeah | 08:41 |
| Slart | boyet: true.. you're welcome | 08:41 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: sudo aptitude install envyng-core | 08:41 |
| microcai | Bodsda: If you know how to use GRUB then it will be very esay for you to run a buuntu from a iso file | 08:42 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, are you sure it will solve my problem ? | 08:42 |
| gnomefreak | Gourlis: in gnome open System>admin>hardware drivers and it should give you a choice. | 08:42 |
| gnomefreak | jockey is installed by default | 08:42 |
| Gourlis | gnomefreak, oh there it shows only my wireless drivers. 1 point actually. | 08:42 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: I'm not sure about everything :-p | 08:42 |
| === Stqrg is now known as Stargaze | ||
| gnomefreak | Gourlis: i cant be sure until you try it. I got rid of my ATI cards before this was an option in jockey | 08:43 |
| microcai | Bodsda: just extart vmlinuz and initrd.gz form /casper of the ubuntu iso file | 08:43 |
| Gourlis | gnomefreak, I tried it, it shows only wireless drivers there. | 08:43 |
| gnomefreak | Gourlis: ok thats odd i never got wireless drivers in there. maybe install the package above the envy one and see if it helps | 08:43 |
| Bodsda | microcai: nvm i found an easier way, ty | 08:43 |
| microcai | Bodsda: and copy that 2 file to whatever GRUB can find | 08:44 |
| === PingvinFakker is now known as Xangavizike | ||
| Gourlis | alright gnomefreak =] | 08:44 |
| Xangavizike | Aloha brotha'z | 08:44 |

| whatvn | Gourlis: :) | 08:44 |
| Xangavizike | Hozsanna dicsoseges testvereim | 08:44 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, don't go out a! :P I don't know what to do next. hah | 08:44 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: there's no step next | 08:45 |
| Stargaze | trace me please and see what you find, i'm testing something | 08:45 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, I did the command you said. Now what am I doing ? :P | 08:45 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: install finish? | 08:46 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, yes. | 08:46 |
| whatvn | reboot | 08:46 |
| Gourlis | alright | 08:46 |
| Gourlis | brb! | 08:46 |
| NvidiaUser | Can anyone help me get compiz going on Ubuntu 9.04? I don't see it under the menu. | 08:46 |
| Titan8990 | NvidiaUser, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:47 |
| whatvn | NvidiaUser: run compiz from terminal | 08:47 |
| Titan8990 | whatvn, don't you still need to install the configuration utility? | 08:47 |
| whatvn | yes | 08:48 |
| NvidiaUser | installing it right now. | 08:48 |
| NvidiaUser | ah okay I see. | 08:48 |
| whatvn | Titan8990: I'm not disagree with u :p | 08:48 |
| Slart | Stargaze: nothing fun.. just the regular output | 08:48 |
| Pingviller26 | I just installed ubuntu server 9.04 on a test server, and then tried to get fluxbox to work.. which failed a bit, it starts and shows a desktop, quite dull one, but the menus can't start anything and nothing really happens while trying to do stuff inside fluxbox.. anyone know if I just installed an old package or if I'm missing something else? | 08:49 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, I did the reboot :P | 08:49 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: how? | 08:49 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, let me check if I can enable 3D effects. | 08:49 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: and it works? | 08:49 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, you probably also need to install xorg although I can't stress enough how unnecessary what you are doing is. | 08:49 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, I can use 3D effects, but ok still my screen flashes a bit :P | 08:50 |
| NvidiaUser | FOr the cube won't I have to enable 2 more virtual desktops? | 08:50 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: yes I know, desktop for a server, however I kinda enjoy being able to browse for stuff whenever shit does hit the fan | 08:50 |
| Pingviller26 | and yes, installed xorg | 08:50 |
| Amaranth | NvidiaUser: no, virtual desktops are not what you want | 08:51 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: so it works? | 08:51 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, yeah :) | 08:51 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: :p | 08:51 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, nice work dude :P | 08:51 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: my luck :p | 08:51 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, did you generate a xorg.conf or install hal? | 08:52 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, from where can I see that envy-core is installed ? :P | 08:52 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, typically your server will have no monitor mouse and keyboard, and you just conduct your business from your desktop | 08:52 |
| yoyit2 | im trying to edit a system file.. how do i do this without getting blocked "dont have permissions" i think theres a way to open it through terminal | 08:52 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: I never care where it's before :| | 08:52 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, making a gui actually on the server worthless | 08:52 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: I just did "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core", not sure how to generate an xorg.conf | 08:53 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: but try envy-core from terminal | 08:53 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, especially since guis for server configuration are nearly non-existant | 08:53 |
| NvidiaUser | yoyit I'm new to linux but: sudo gedit filename ? | 08:53 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, yes, xserver-xorg is the meta package | 08:53 |
| brian__ | im trying to restart x without logging out. I'm on using 9.04 and ctrl-backspace is disabled | 08:53 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, Oh :P Because when I use any effects some windows doesn't have Minimize tool or move it around :P | 08:53 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, did you edit your .xinitrc to launch the wm? | 08:53 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: you're using compiz? | 08:54 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: nope, I just type "startx" to get it up whenever I do need the desktop manager | 08:54 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, dunno. Ubuntu 9.04 by default | 08:54 |
| yoyit2 | how do i edit a system file without having restrictions? | 08:55 |
| brian__ | use sudo | 08:55 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: no ideas :p | 08:55 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, actually I can't move the terminal only ;p but nevermind | 08:55 |
| yoyit2 | brian__ sudo what the full comand? | 08:55 |
| PrebenR | acipd when started during boot, it is not running as any user. If I do a /etc/init.d/acpid restart it becomes user root. My problem is that when the acpid runns with no users, my scripts are not working properly. Should it run as no user? | 08:55 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, sudo -i will give you a root shell, sudo nano /path/to/file will let you edit a file unrestricted | 08:55 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, thanks for your help :) 95% am better than before. | 08:55 |
| yoyit2 | whats the nano part for? | 08:56 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, nano is the text editor.. | 08:56 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, all works now lol i set the theme again. | 08:56 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, if you need a GUI text editor try gksudo gedit /path/to/file | 08:56 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: thx | 08:56 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, but its not working correct? | 08:56 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: I got this error when using compiz, and my solution is comment out my video card in blacklist | 08:57 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, I set again my theme and all works now. Try it | 08:57 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: so sudo nano/sftp://mobile@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown | 08:57 |
| NvidiaUser | I can't get the compiz desktop cube to work... | 08:57 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: nope, the menus are dead, nothing happens when I try to launch applications | 08:57 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: no, my ubuntu is working well, with nice theme. better than windows 7 or vista :)) | 08:58 |
| === stefanlsd_ is now known as stefanlsd | ||
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: ?? | 08:58 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, I hate Microsoft ;D | 08:58 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, nope.. for that you need to be sftp'ed into that server as root | 08:59 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: and I love everything :p | 08:59 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, that file is on a remote server, so you'd need to be root@ to modify system files on that.. | 08:59 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, The truth is that I am using Windows Vista until I finish from the University, after I finish. A complete format will take action and a fresh copy of Ubuntu will get installed. :D | 09:00 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, try SSHing into it, then run sudo nano on that file from inside the shell on that server | 09:00 |

| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, the path you gave was to a file that is not on your computer | 09:01 |
| gumarti | ok! thaks very much, going to brazil, bye! | 09:02 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: correct, here is the full path : sftp://mobile@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml | 09:02 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, which window manager are you using? | 09:02 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: I'm not that good with the terminal interface, that's why I want a desktop manager, so I can use gedit or similar visual text editors, whatever is available for fluxbox | 09:02 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, yes.. so you're trying to edit that file as the "mobile" user.. which doesn't have permissions | 09:02 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, lol I'll go out for a few hours. See you around whatvn! :) | 09:02 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: right now I changed to blackbox, in hopes it would work better, but I'm missing something | 09:02 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, its not going to have anything you don't add to it | 09:02 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: ok?? so what can i do? | 09:03 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: I know | 09:03 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, same with blackbox | 09:03 |
| whatvn | Gourlis: see you! | 09:03 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, what you need to do is sftp://root@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml | 09:03 |

Earlier, "in.tftpd -U <umask>" worked, but the tftpd version installed from the repository doesn't seem to have the -U options. Any ideas on how I can change the default umask on files put into the tftp dir? | 09:03 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, and honestly | 09:03 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, scrap the gui and install webmin | 09:03 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: just type that in terminal? | 09:03 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, it actually contains server config utilities unlike the gui | 09:03 |

| whatvn | yoyit2: you can connect to iphone using ssh, I think | 09:05 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, if you don't have a root password then try ssh mobile@192.168.1.130 and login to the shell on it | 09:05 |

| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: well then I gotta buy another machine and I just can't afford that, scrap the "no-gui on server"-talk mate :P a server is just a computer with a slightly different purpose, it's a cheap server hardware for a test environment only, and gui just makes me feel better than sitting in terminal windows all day long trying to remember the commands. plus I really don't like nano for text... | 09:08 |

| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: and the reason for fluxbox/blackbox is just that it's lightweight, so it doesn't really affect the system anyway | 09:08 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, then why not save yourself the trouble, install desktop ubuntu and then install the server kernel? | 09:08 |
| generic1 | if i boot into ubuntu as i live session can i see the xorg.conf file it is using? | 09:09 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, no no no... ssh into the iphone from the Ubuntu box | 09:09 |
| ross_ | at grub my options are generic; recovery mode; memtest | 09:09 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, or fluxbuntu where the menus and etc are already configured | 09:09 |
| whatvn | ross_: recovery mode take you to single mode | 09:09 |
| ross_ | k, booting | 09:09 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, and my suggestion of webmin, had nothing to do with a terminal | 09:09 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: so in terminal type somthing? or go places - "iphone" (thorugh ssh)?? | 09:10 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: that is probably easier yup | 09:10 |
| Titan8990 | Pingviller26, it is a web interface | 09:10 |
| generic1 | anyone? | 09:10 |
| generic1 | if i boot into ubuntu as i live session can i see the xorg.conf file it is using? | 09:10 |
| ross_ | at menu for recovery-now what | 09:10 |
| Pingviller26 | Titan8990: ah ok | 09:10 |
| whatvn | enter to it, ross_ | 09:10 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, yes, but it uses hal so it won't contain much | 09:10 |
| acerbus | I'm trying to configure in.tftpd through xinetd on 8.04 server. The server runs as intended, but I'm trying to change the default umask on the files put into that dir. Earlier, "in.tftpd -U <umask>" worked, but the tftpd version installed from the repository doesn't seem to have the -U options. Any ideas on how I can change the default umask on files put into the tftp dir? | 09:10 |
| Brian88 | Anyone who have wubi-installed ubuntu, could you just paste your /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst to the pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) and then put the pastebin URL back here? I need it. Thanks.. | 09:10 |
| DJJeff | #ubuntu-powerpc is open for any ubuntu for mac users :) | 09:10 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, in terminal type ssh mobile@192.168.1.130 | 09:10 |
| ross_ | I have recovery menu - there is an option try to auto repair graphic problmes | 09:10 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, put your password in, then try sudo -i in | 09:11 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: what do you mean it uses hal? I will be using hal on my OS too | 09:11 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, that should make you root on the iphone in theory, provided you're meant to be able to edit system files | 09:11 |
| whatvn | ross_, maybe not, you should try to re-install driver for video card | 09:11 |
| gumarti | nobody in brazilian room, please be patiant with me, it is ubuntu is installed, frist thing i need is to set up the grub default partition as windows xp, is tehre any gui via grapgic interface or i need to edit any file? i can remenber the basic vi commands. | 09:11 |
| Wazzzaaa | I have some little problems with the following configuration: Jaunty, ATI card, dual monitor (different resolutions). Can anybody give me tips or pointers ? | 09:11 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, it uses hal in combination with xorg.conf | 09:11 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, xorg.conf will point out font paths while hal will determine which modules to load and how they should be configured | 09:12 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: i got in, but sudo -i didnt work | 09:12 |
| ape718 | anyone have experience with afp on ubuntu, I want to get rid of the Network Trash Folder and Temprary Items folders permanently | 09:12 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, what did it say? | 09:12 |
| ptc | are there any apps for Gnome that will allow me to create keyboard shortcuts (such as "Win + H") that will cause "http://" to be outputted to the current input? | 09:12 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: comand not found | 09:12 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, so you should actually be able to run without a xorg.conf these days | 09:12 |
| ross_ | tried autocorrect graphic problem...still blue screen | 09:12 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, starting with xorg 1.5 | 09:12 |
| Wazzzaaa | ptc: I know that its included in compiz | 09:12 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, try su | 09:12 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: su -i? | 09:13 |
| generic1 | Titan8990:I know that but its not going as planned so i need an xorg.conf | 09:13 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, just su | 09:13 |
| Wazzzaaa | ptc: apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 09:13 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:13 |
| whatvn | ross_: what type of your card? | 09:13 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: k, now im in "iphone:/var/mobile" | 09:13 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, that will reconfigure your input devices and etc but video card will still be loaded via hal | 09:13 |
| xukun | How can I output all audio over spdif? | 09:13 |
| ross_ | I had two in machine: one Radeon 1330; other some type motherboard Visontek | 09:14 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, if you want to configure a video card (because maybe hal is not doing it correctly) it will need to be done manually | 09:14 |
| generic1 | Titan8990:Im not gonna be using ubuntu i just need to see how its using my vid car | 09:14 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, I don't know if the iphone has a text-editor for the shell or not... | 09:14 |
| generic1 | Titan8990:or alleast the driver it is using | 09:14 |
| ross_ | I was trying to update drivers to fix WoW error 132 and crashed whole video...now some of my wife's work email stuck on that machine and no video output | 09:14 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, what are you going to be using? | 09:14 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: this is the guid im following: http://marcansoft.com/blog/2009/01/using-amarok-and-other-itunesdb-compatible-software-with-the-iphone-2x/ | 09:14 |
| ape718 | anyone have experience with afp on ubuntu, I want to get rid of the Network Trash Folder and Temprary Items folders permanently | 09:14 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: archlinux | 09:15 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, the way round that is to copy the config file you wish to change to an easily accessible place, edit it from Ubuntu and then copy it back as root | 09:15 |
| gumarti | Please, where is the grub file i need to edit? | 09:15 |
| ross_ | I took Radeon out to try and get video back. I rm fglrx from command prompt | 09:15 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: ok, how? | 09:15 |
| ross_ | no luck | 09:15 |
| ptc | Wazzzaaa: i installed, but can't find the app itself. how do i get to it? | 09:15 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, cp /path/to/file /path/to/copy/to | 09:15 |
| ptc | Wazzzaaa: nevermind found it | 09:15 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, or even better... try this: | 09:16 |
| gumarti | found | 09:16 |
| ross_ | there is no way just to put original video config back that was working before I tried installing fglrx? | 09:16 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, chmod 777 /path/to/file | 09:16 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, then you can edit it directly from Ubuntu without copying | 09:16 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, i really don't understand what you are trying to do and why | 09:16 |
| yoyit2 | whats chmod 777?? | 09:16 |
| racecar56 | my home folder is my desktop, but i dont want it to be, what the heck is wrong and how do i fix this? | 09:16 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, it changes filesystem permissions | 09:16 |
| racecar56 | yoyit2, chmod changez permissinz | 09:16 |
| * Liquidity_C is away: AFK | 09:16 | |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, 777 means everyone has read/write access | 09:16 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, you want to see how hal configures your video card in ubuntu so you can attempt to reproduce the same effects in gentoo?: | 09:16 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, and the ability to execute it if it's a binary (which it isn't) | 09:17 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, when you could have just as easily found out what you should be using via google? | 09:17 |
| Flannel | Geek`N`Proud, yoyit2: Please don't recommend changing file permissions to get around administrative permission... things... | 09:17 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: YEs in archlinux and no my laptob is about 3 months old (model wise) | 09:17 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, what is the video card? | 09:17 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, anyway.. that should let you edit that file without being root afterwards... then after you've edited it change it back with chmod 644 | 09:17 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: intel 4 serise | 09:18 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, i can tell you that you have gone about it wrong | 09:18 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, driver "intel" | 09:18 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: so i went chmod 777 /home/daniel/desktop/chekpoint.xml it didnt do anything | 09:18 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: I know | 09:18 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, yes it did | 09:18 |
| ptc | Wazzzaaa: after looking around a bit, i don't see anything. is it a third-party plugin? | 09:18 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, sudo lshw | 09:18 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, try editing it from Ubuntu's GUI now | 09:18 |
| racecar56 | my home folder is my desktop, but i want it to be ~/Desktop, how do i fix this? | 09:18 |
| Brian89 | Anyone who have wubi-installed ubuntu, could you just paste your /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst to the pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) and then put the pastebin URL back here? I need it. Thanks.. | 09:18 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, no output means it worked.. that is the way UNIX systems operate | 09:19 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Flannel, erm... when there's no text editor to otherwise edit it? (it's an iphone!) | 09:19 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: oh yeah and do you know why font look so much better in ubunut? | 09:19 |
| R | facing problem while opening the date and time option in administration>> | 09:19 |
| R | says The configuration could not be loaded | 09:19 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, fonts are defined in xorg.conf | 09:19 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Flannel, also.. if it was a local issue i'd recommend gksudo gedit.. but it isn't | 09:19 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, likely need to be installed in arch | 09:19 |
| R | You are not allowed to access the system configuration. | 09:19 |

| Titan8990 | !root | R | 09:20 |
| ubottu | R: 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 | 09:20 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: actually i used the same fonts in arch | 09:20 |

| digifor | Any Lotus/Ubuntu guru's know how to fix? | 09:21 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Titan8990, it's already unlocked | 09:21 |
| Madpilot | racecar56, please do NOT recommend that here. It goes against all of Ubuntu's security practices. | 09:21 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Titan8990, sudo -i gives you a root shell | 09:21 |
| ape718 | anyone have experience with afp on ubuntu, I want to get rid of the Network Trash Folder and Temprary Items folders permanently | 09:21 |
| R | Titan8990 ubottu I am not trying to unlock the root And That thing I know Please read my complete query | 09:21 |
| Titan8990 | Geek`N`Proud, that doesn't make it unlocked | 09:21 |
| racecar56 | Madpilot, k | 09:21 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: Thats what i said but after a couple months in arch and u look at ubunut I mean wow its impressive how good the fonts look | 09:21 |
| racecar56 | my home folder is my desktop, but i want it to be ~/Desktop, how do i fix this? | 09:22 |
| Geek`N`Proud | Titan8990, sure it does.. it's as unlocked as making /bin/bash setuid... it doesn't matter if you use sudo -i or su.. it's still unlocked | 09:22 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, fonts in a framebuffer are good enough for me.... | 09:22 |
| generic1 | and do you know where i can look at hals conf? | 09:22 |
| Titan8990 | racecar56, pm | 09:22 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, hehe | 09:22 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, yes but its very crapy xml style configurations, a step down from xorg imo | 09:23 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: honestly ive never had to config hal | 09:23 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, /etc/hal/fdi | 09:23 |
| ross_ | in /etc/X11 I have default-display-manager and app-defaults. will either of these install the default video config from initial installation? | 09:23 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: where then? | 09:23 |
| generic1 | Titan8990: thx | 09:23 |
| Steven | How can I do Perl in Ubuntu? | 09:23 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: so i did it on the one on my desktop but i cant replace the one on the phone with it. so i tried chmod 777 /sftp://mobile@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml and it says "no file or directory" | 09:23 |
| ross_ | I think Sun Netbeans full package is free and lets you do Java, Perl, and C++ | 09:24 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, right.. don't use the sftp:// path for that command... you need to be SSH'ed into the iphone.. chmod 777 that file FROM THERE, then you need to edit it using the GUI | 09:24 |
| Geek`N`Proud | yoyit2, if you chmod'ed the file from inside the shell then all you need to do is edit the file from the GUI like you'd do with a normal file | 09:25 |
| quibbler | racecar56-> open configuration editor from system tools and go to /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir and check it. | 09:25 |

| generic1 | Titan8990: wow | 09:27 |
| ape718 | anyone have experience with afp on ubuntu, I want to get rid of the Network Trash Folder and Temprary Items folders permanently | 09:27 |
| Titan8990 | generic1, they do atleast have a website of default configs | 09:27 |

| * BePhantom away | 09:29 | |
| BePhantom | oops | 09:29 |
| SeViLLa | abcminiuser: are you talking about a login shell | 09:29 |
| Geek`N`Proud | noobie, swap is not a big deal.. the system won't even use it most likely with 3GB of RAM | 09:30 |
| noobie | ok will to much slow down the system? | 09:30 |
| abcminiuser | No, from Gnome | 09:30 |
| Geek`N`Proud | noobie, no it won't.. | 09:30 |
| noobie | thanks | 09:30 |
| gso | How do I open a terminal with root permissions? | 09:30 |
| abcminiuser | SeVilla: I want to be able to run a command line app from a script each time the system resumes | 09:30 |
| Geek`N`Proud | noobie, on Windows it does because swap is a file.. that means it can fragment easily.. with Linux it's a partition, so that is not the case | 09:30 |
| PecisDarbs | hi people, is any other xrandr configuration tool than gnome default? KDE4 konfiguration applet is broken but I need to get randr configured there | 09:30 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, open a terminal, then do sudo -i | 09:31 |
| Titan8990 | !sudo | gso | 09:31 |
| ubottu | gso: 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) | 09:31 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, put in your password and you'll become root | 09:31 |
| SkyNetMaster | hi, is there a way to change text dokument encoding to another? | 09:31 |
| whatvn | Geek`N`Proud: Linux has swap files and swap partition | 09:31 |
| yoyit2 | Geek`N`Proud: it worked!! | 09:32 |
| SeViLLa | gso: or you can just sudo su to be in your working directory | 09:32 |
| DaZ | SkyNetMaster: iconv | 09:32 |
| vintle | also sudo gnome-terminal works | 09:32 |
| SeViLLa | abcminiuser: you know im not sure about that | 09:32 |
| Geek`N`Proud | whatvn, it's possible to use files yes, but they stay fixed in place and the same as a partition | 09:32 |
| abcminiuser | SeVilla: I've seen it done before; I'll just Google it a bit more | 09:32 |
| gso | I want a shortcut icon and when I run it I have root permissions is it possible? I try gksudo gnome-terminal but I don't success | 09:33 |
| Geek`N`Proud | whatvn, therefore no fragmentation either way | 09:33 |
| Geek`N`Proud | (partitions themselves are just files after all ;) | 09:33 |

| SeViLLa | abcminiuser: if you want it to be done each time you open your terminal put the script in your .bashrc or .profile | 09:33 |
| gso | gso@pian:~$ sudo gnome-terminal | 09:34 |
| gso | Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. | 09:34 |
| abcminiuser | SeViLLA: This is a fix script for some of my hardware, needs to be run each time the system resumes | 09:34 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, gksudo gnome-terminal | 09:34 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, never run GUI apps with sudo | 09:34 |
| whatvn | Geek`N`Proud: agree! | 09:34 |
| Flannel | erm, why are you running gnome-terminal with sudo? | 09:34 |
| abcminiuser | I've already customized my .bashrc and other files, but not this | 09:34 |
| gso | Geek`N`Proud, the same | 09:34 |
| SeViLLa | abcminiuser: oh good luck | 09:34 |
| vintle | go to system->preference ->main menu | 09:35 |
| vintle | Then select where you want the icon... | 09:35 |
| vintle | in the command box use gksudo gnome-terminal | 09:35 |
| abcminiuser | SeViLLa: Aha! I need to place my script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ | 09:35 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, have a look at gnome-terminal --help | 09:35 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, a way round it could be to make gnome-terminal execute a script which runs sudo -i | 09:35 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, as in making a file like: | 09:36 |
| Geek`N`Proud | #!/bin/bash | 09:37 |
| Geek`N`Proud | sudo -i | 09:37 |
| Geek`N`Proud | then each time you clicked it, it would ask for a password and make you root without running gnome-terminal as root | 09:37 |
| gso | Geek`N`Proud, ok I run gnome-terminal -e "sudo -i" in my shortcut | 09:37 |
| Geek`N`Proud | gso, yeah, that or make a shortcut to a bash script and check the box "Run in Terminal" =] | 09:38 |
| Geek`N`Proud | whichever works best for you | 09:38 |

| stippi | Ubuntu 9.04 mostly does not remember my keyboard settings (repeat speed, repeat delay). It is extremely annoying. I have googled without success. Can someone point me to some helpful information on how to fix this? | 09:47 |
| Chr|s | stippi: what do you mean by mostly? | 09:50 |
| Chr|s | stippi: sometimes it does work? | 09:50 |
| stippi | Chr|s: Like sometimes they are restored, for example when I boot, but they are back to defaults when waking up from stand-by. Sometimes they do work after stand-by. Sometimes they are back to defaults right after booting. The values in the Keyboard preflet are always correct, I just have to move the sliders slightly forth and back and have my personal settings. | 09:51 |
| Chr|s | stippi: have you checked launchpad to see if their are any bugs related to keyboars when the system goes on standy-by | 09:52 |
| adac | Since I made an upgrade to jaunty I have no bash history anymore. Can someone help me with that? | 09:53 |
| stippi | Chr|s: I did search in the support forums, and it appears to find tickets also. But none of them look like the bug I see. | 09:53 |

| ubottu | system404: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features.

| Gourlis | whatvn, are you still here ? :P | 09:57 |
| Chr|s | stippi: hmm I don't see anything really listed that would fit the problem you would be having. Do you have another keyboard to test just to be sure? | 09:57 |
| Gourlis | Anyone who can help with EnvyNG ? | 09:58 |

| Chr|s | !envyng | Gourlis | 09:59 |
| ubottu | Gourlis: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDrver | 09:59 |

| Ultimate_darknes | !firewall | 10:00 |
| 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 | 10:00 |

| lamebot_ | hello all. I trying to change my partion size but it is not allowed. Under flags it says boot. How would i clear this flag? | 10:00 |
| adac | indus, yes I have! And i also compared that file with another installations .bashrc and it is indeed the exact same file (on the other installation it works fine) | 10:00 |
| Chr|s | stippi: it shouldn't, but its always good to test. Keyboards do go bad new/old | 10:00 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, I installed a ATI which were not recommend but shown in EnvyNG and now I see only black screen with mixed colours :P | 10:00 |

| indus | adac: so u mean you dont see anything when you press the up or down arrows? | 10:02 |
| Gourlis | whatvn, lol from 11 years old I always mess up with things :P | 10:02 |
| Gourlis | brb | 10:02 |
| stippi | Chr|s: Maybe you didn't understand. This cannot be a problem of the keyboard. I can rule this out already. It should be clear from my description that it's Ubuntu simply forgetting the settings. Or rather to apply the settings to the keyboard. The correct settings are there in the preflet. But they simply are not applied many times and I have to go to the preflet again to nudge a slider and then suddenly the settings are applied to the keyboard | 10:02 |

| stippi | Why is it that always when I install a new Ubuntu version something totally basic is completely broken? First the network manager, then the session management, and now my keyboard settings are always back to defaults? How can it be that such things slip into releases all the time?! | 10:05 |
| Chr|s | stippi: I'm not sure what else to tell you. Maybe, stay in here and idle for awhile. Hopefully someone can help you out with this problem better than I could. | 10:05 |

| stavrogin74 | can anyone help me with a dsl connection problem? | 10:06 |
| stippi | Chr|s: Thanks a lot for trying, at least! I think I should start looking around for other Linux distros. The quality control in Ubuntu just disappoints me more and more with each release. | 10:06 |
| DaZ | Saren: most of | 10:06 |
| Flannel | ShishKabab: The other way is to run ssh on your local machine, and then scp (on the remote machine) from the 'local' to 'remote'. But, obviously, that's not simpler than just scp in the first place. | 10:06 |
| Saren | Okay. | 10:06 |
| system404 | saren: windows haters come from all over | 10:06 |

| Chr|s | stippi: I beg to differ, every machine has unique problems. | 10:07 |
| codename | I have a question. | 10:07 |
| Flannel | ShishKabab: What's difficult regarding scp? You can also use sftp, which most graphical FTP clients support, so it's just like good old fashioned FTP | 10:07 |

| codename | So what do I do now? Delete the Sabayon partition then reinstall GRUB by running sudo apt-get install grub | 10:08 |
| stippi | Chr|s: For the problems I just mentioned, just google them. There appear to be a lot of people suffering form them. | 10:08 |

| Gourlis | whatvn, yes but it will remove also ATI package ? | 10:08 |
| stippi | Chr|s: I could imagine that a lot of people simply do not change the keyboard preferences, so they don't notice that they are always back to defaults, or at least a lot of times. | 10:08 |

| indus | system404: update manager does check and give you updates for all things hardware and software | 10:09 |

| SolidarityX | Thank you Exx0r | 10:29 |
| Exx0r | Intel's 64-bit arch is compatible with AMD's. | 10:29 |
| Exx0r | That's a 64-bit CPU isn't it? But you're sure you loaded the 32-bit Ubuntu? | 10:30 |
| SolidarityX | This processor can run at 64bit | 10:30 |
| SolidarityX | And yeah, it's 32bit | 10:30 |
| SolidarityX | Is there a way I can double check? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | SolidarityX: uname -a | 10:30 |
| SolidarityX | Linux tomoyo 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | SolidarityX: if it says i686 your linux is 32bit, x86_64 = 64bit | 10:31 |
| SolidarityX | i686 | 10:31 |
| system404 | Actionparsnip: it says recent versions of ubuntu come with compiz installed im running 9.04 so how do i enable it | 10:31 |
| Exx0r | excellent | 10:31 |
| ShishKabab | When I set up an SSH tunnel like "ssh -N -p 22 me@remote -L 2025/anotherserver/80 &" in a script, how do I stop the tunnel? I'd like to put this in a script that can be called with "start" or "stop" as argument. | 10:31 |
| SolidarityX | I have this installed: xserver-xorg-video-intel | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: compiz --replace you NEED to have video drivers installed and configured right or it wont work | 10:32 |
| SolidarityX | I would've thought it had made a difference, as it did on Arch | 10:32 |
| system404 | my video drivers are installed but how to configure them to run compiz | 10:32 |
| system404 | sorry for the noob questions | 10:32 |
| Exx0r | The problem sounds like the refresh rates aren't being configured correctly, but the new xorg should be doing that automagically. You say you can't set it from within the GNOME settings dialogs? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: what is the output of lspci | grep -i vga | 10:32 |
| system404 | only bn a linux user 2 days | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: we're all noob at some point | 10:32 |
| SolidarityX | Exx0r, it just says my monitor is not supported I believe. | 10:33 |
| system404 | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) | 10:33 |
| SolidarityX | It did the same in Arch Linux until I installed the right stuff. | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah i thought it was gonna be some intel thing | 10:33 |
| Exx0r | It's a laptop right? | 10:33 |
| Exx0r | Brand and model? | 10:33 |
| SolidarityX | I don't use a laptop. | 10:33 |
| SolidarityX | I built the PC earlier January this year. | 10:34 |
| nthit_neu | hj | 10:34 |
| system404 | so any ideas actionparsnip | 10:35 |
| mejobloggs | hi i have some samba shares that are set to guest access, and were writeable on the network until i changed the group owner of the files. I didn't think this would matter since guest access is on. How do i make them writeable again? | 10:35 |
| SolidarityX | I take it nothing can be done to fix it~? | 10:35 |

| parapanghelescu | Hi there fellows; i kinda need to talk with someone which knows the structure of the folders in Ubuntu and the evolution mail client .....so anyone available here ???? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: this may help. Jaunty is having issues with intel chips afaik | 10:35 |
| hateball | !ask | parapanghelescu | 10:36 |
| ubottu | parapanghelescu: 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. :-) | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: so this guide should make things nice: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 | 10:36 |
| parapanghelescu | hateball > could I use PM please ? | 10:36 |
| A_I_ | hello | 10:36 |
| hateball | !pm | parapanghelescu | 10:36 |
| ubottu | parapanghelescu: 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. | 10:36 |
| Exx0r | Solidarity: Hrm, I haven't messed with xorg.conf since Ubuntu 7 but I know there's a way to specify horizontal and vertical refresh. You don't by any chance have that information of your monitor handy? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: i dont use intel vga but the results seem decent and its an official guide | 10:37 |
| fdontcry | welcome to the trance. | 10:37 |
| solidarity | Cut off -___- | 10:37 |
| A_I_ | is there a way to reinstall a package, some files have been accidentaly erased and I want to recover them | 10:37 |
| A_I_ | apt-get install --reinstall does not work | 10:37 |
| system404 | i dont know how to do wat it says | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | A_I_: sudo apt-get --reinstall install <package name here> | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: its all there for you | 10:37 |
| system404 | it says to add lines to appt/list | 10:37 |
| system404 | howd i do that | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: it does miss that bit out of the guide | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: add the lines, save and exit gedit, run the next command in terminal | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: and then the next 2 lines are more terminal commands, copy and paste for ease | 10:39 |
| system404 | will do thanks | 10:39 |

| maodun | no, ctrl+c won't do the trick | 10:46 |
| Mylisto | I'm wondering, can brasero be used to burn .cue images? | 10:47 |
| maodun | maybe there's a boot flag i can use to shut up kernel messages? | 10:47 |
| areels | cue is not an image? | 10:47 |
| FrEaKmAn_ | I have dual boot, XP and ubuntu. I had a problem with internet not working in ubuntu, solved it with enabling lan card wakeup in XP (well known fix). Everything worked until I added a VPN connection to XP, now internet again doesnt not work. Anybody experienced anything similar? | 10:47 |
| mechdave | Mylisto, what is a .cue file? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Mylisto: if you right click the cue file and open it with brasero it may work. If not you can always convert cue+bin to iso | 10:48 |
| areels | cue is a cue file that points how img file should be burned | 10:48 |

| ActionParsnip | !scp | areels | 10:48 |
| parapanghelescu | maria > gutntag - but this will be the only word I know in German | 10:48 |
| ubottu | areels: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 10:48 |

| maodun | i'll try #linux | 10:49 |

| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: I'll try to reboot with only it attached. | 10:50 |
| areels | ActionParsnip: is there an easy way to reach linux computors like in windows \\computor\c$ ? | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: sounds like a good place to start | 10:50 |
| areels | natilius can do that? | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | areels: you can use samba | 10:50 |
| Mylisto | actionparsnip how do I get that cue program to iso? | 10:50 |
| Mylisto | how do I install it? | 10:50 |
| areels | ActionParsnip: samba for linux to linux ? | 10:50 |

| tryagainhentai | actionparsnip i done all that stuff restarted ubuntu now lost keyboard and touchpad | 10:50 |
| ch0i | hello :D | 10:51 |
| areels | ActionParsnip: i thought samba for linux to windows | 10:51 |
| areels | ok i'll use that | 10:51 |
| ch0i | what's up xD | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | areels: your ubuntu install has a samba client app, if you want to conect to another linux system which just happens to be sharing with samba, it will work | 10:51 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: The thing is, that the keyboard is totally new Logitech DiNovo Edge that has keyboard and mouse in the same | 10:51 |
| tryagainhentai | ps this is system404 | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | areels: samba isnt ONLY for windows to linux | 10:52 |
| Hyperi | And the USB dongle is a bit different that I've seen before :/ | 10:52 |
| tryagainhentai | actionparsnip its system404 i done all that stuff restarted ubuntu now lost keyboard and touchpad | 10:52 |
| mechdave | ch0i, please ask your question if you have one | 10:52 |

| gordonjcp | Gourlis: for Linux, you're generally going to want ext3 | 11:06 |
| rascal999 | ActionParsnip: thanks | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: press esc when grub loads, select recovery mode then select fix xorg | 11:06 |

| gordonjcp | Gourlis: yup | 11:08 |
| Mylisto | actionparsnip: I found this on a website about using bchunk...Do I need to do it this way..ie including the bin and the cue? bchunk IMAGE.bin IMAGE.cue IMAGE.iso | 11:08 |
| Gourlis | gordonjcp, good so far.. I have Vista installed on 130GB and I don't want to lose anything because I have works there etc. | 11:08 |
| Gourlis | gordonjcp, after I format the partition it will ask me where to install ubuntu ? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Mylisto: thats its usage, te bin and cue files you will have as files, the iso file you can name anything you like | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | s/te/the | 11:09 |
| johar | hello. umm. guys , quick question. how can i specify a background for each workstation | 11:09 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: in the partitioner, it asks what format to use and what to use the partition for | 11:09 |
| philsf | Mylisto, man bchunk will give you usage information | 11:09 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: as a minimum you'll need one set to "/" and one set to be swap | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | johar: sure, right click the desktop -> desktop settings and choose a wallpaper | 11:10 |
| parapanghelescu | so ...I have some problems configuring evolution to work with Exchange 2003 server; I made the account ..set-up the passwd and connection with an Exchange server; the account is working in a way that I can send emails but I cannot receive any ......; on the other hand, the evolution client is connecting with the Exchange server ans is retrieving the emails I have on my account - I found out that when I went to /home/usr/.evolution/mail - I have like | 11:10 |
| EnlightMent | I am learning how to set up a file server using 9.04. What program can I use to finish setting up the server remote? | 11:10 |
| === john is now known as Severity1 | ||
| johar | ActionParsnip, .... lets see | 11:10 |
| Gourlis | gordonjcp, as I saw I already have swap. | 11:10 |
| system404 | hey ActionParsnip that done the trick so can i still get compiz | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | okay | 11:10 |
| Mylisto | I realize I can name it anyting I want actionparsnip: just not sure if I need to include the bin and the cue files. Are they both needed? | 11:10 |
| johar | ActionParsnip, they all change ;l | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: quite often you'll want /home too, so you can reinstall without killing your home directory | 11:10 |
| johar | ActionParsnip, im looking for workspace 1 different than workspace 2 XD | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: ive not set up intel vga, you wil also need to run add/remove programs and enable the repositories | 11:11 |
| gordonjcp | Mylisto: the .bin file is the data for the CD, the .cue file says how it's laid out on disk | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | johar: ahh, thats different and not what you said ;) | 11:11 |
| philsf | EnlightMent, what exactly do you want to do? | 11:11 |
| johar | ActionParsnip, XD sowwweee.. so any hints ? | 11:11 |
| system404 | how to setup intel vga and enable the repositories then anyone | 11:12 |
| EnlightMent | philsf: connect ssh to the server... do I need a client? | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | johar: ok are you running compiz and wanting a different wallpaper on each face by any remote chance? | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | system404: i told you about the repos, its in synaptic | 11:12 |
| johar | ActionParsnip, heard gnome nautilus doesn't allow compiz to change the backgrounds. but yeah , im using compiz . | 11:12 |
| Mylisto | gordonjcp: so I need to include them both I take it? | 11:12 |
| Gourlis | gordonjcp, am confused. All I want is to format the partition and install a fresh ubuntu on it. I don't understand what "/home" does and "/" and I'm scared to move on because I don't want to lose anything on Vista OS. | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | johar: i'd ask in #compiz. If you do then you will NOT be able to have any desktop icons | 11:13 |
| johar | this link says its working in gnome , natively .. http://gsocblog.jsharpe.net/archives/15 so i dont know | 11:13 |
| gordonjcp | Mylisto: yup | 11:13 |
| Mylisto | well going to test this iso out | 11:13 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: so install on the partition you already have for Ubuntu. | 11:13 |
| johar | i see. :) so its a compiz issue , not gnome | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Mylisto: mount it and see how you go, before burning it | 11:13 |
| karex | HI, I update by using Ubuntu Alternate CD, it requests packages whose version not available in server :S HELP ME... | 11:13 |

| gordonjcp | Gourlis: it's the root directory | 11:19 |
| Flannel | karex: what version of Ubuntu are you using, and what CD version do you have? | 11:19 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: it's where everything goes, including other mounted disks | 11:19 |
| NoRule | is this ubuntu official help for www.ubuntu.com ? | 11:19 |

| Gourlis | gordonjcp, "/" is C:/ drive ? | 11:19 |

| gordonjcp | Bodsda: bad disk, or bad drive? | 11:22 |
| karex | Flannel: example: it tells can't fetch antlr_2.7.7-10_all.deb, but when I check to packages.ubuntu.com I found antlr_2.7.7-11_all.deb | 11:22 |

| gordonjcp | Bodsda: they just plain break | 11:23 |
| system404 | whats next i need my glitz n glamour ubuntu is just too plain lookin | 11:23 |
| Flannel | karex: that's because the repos (the online ones) have been updated since release. But, what should happen is the newer version of antlr is downloaded, along with whatever newer version of the package that needed -10 (and now needs -11) is. | 11:23 |
| Gourlis | gordonjcp, heh yeah. Just scared to move on :P I wanna be sure that when I select the partition to be formatted as Ext3 and Mount on: / to be installed on that partition only. | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | Bodsda: I've started throwing them through the shop window from the other side of the street now when I return them | 11:23 |
| Bodsda | gordonjcp: ok granted,, but it has no reason not to be working, it still 'works' i mean the draw goes in and out on the press of the button | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: well, if you already had a Linux partition then you should be okay | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: I don't know anything about Windows so I'm not really sure what to tell you to look for, but "not Linux" partitions should show up | 11:25 |

So, I'm going through Manual Partitioning, I select "Edit Partition", I select also format as Ext3 and Mount on: "/" and then a format will take action and it will install a new fresh ubuntu on 30GB partition. | 11:28 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: sounds about right | 11:28 |
| gordonjcp | Gourlis: and the swap partition is probably picked up automatically | 11:28 |
| Gourlis | gordonjcp, yes as I saw before I have a swap space under 30GB partition. Which is 1400 something MB i think. | 11:29 |

| rosepetal | ok .. so generally its not as stable as 8.10? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: not that i know of, a simple symlink in a folder is pretty slick imho | 12:25 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: but it means using the scary terminal ;) | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: ln -s `which knotes` ./startknotes | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: oh noes notz the terminalz rofl lolz | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: assuming the app is launched with the command knotes | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: if its knote youo will need to change the command | 12:27 |
| silv3r_m00n | ActionParsnip: I just want to execute command >> knotes | 12:27 |
| promet | has anyone else had WPA Authentication issues with 9.04? | 12:27 |
| silv3r_m00n | in this >> ln -s `which knotes` ./startknotes what is startknotes ? | 12:27 |
| syntaxxx | ActionParsnip: guess i have to download each and every .deb for at.. | 12:27 |
| syntaxxx | sheesh | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: then the command i gave is correct | 12:28 |
| Slart | silv3r_m00n: it's the name of the actual shortcut that is created.. you won't see it anywhere else | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | syntaxxx: possibly, keep trying : sudo apt-get -f install to see if it will sort you out after you install a deb | 12:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | ActionParsnip: I didn't understand the command ..ln -s `which knotes` ./startknotes what does which knotes mean ? | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: startknotes is just so you know what it is, you could call it yellow_submarine and it would do the same thing | 12:29 |
| Slart | silv3r_m00n: try running it in a terminal and you'll see.. for that full hands on experience | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: ln -s means make a symbolic link (like a windows shortcut | 12:29 |
| Slart | silv3r_m00n: which, locate, whereis are nice commands to know | 12:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | what does which knotes means ? | 12:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | hmm I know locate and whereis | 12:29 |

| Bob_Dole | Firefox makes me sad. | 12:30 |

| * Slart checks if he has ended up in #kubuntu.. =) | 12:33 | |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: we dont need to know where the binary for apps is stored, nor do we care, we can use which to tell us | 12:33 |
| Bob_Dole | I have epiphany, Arora, SeaMonkey, Galeon, Midbrowser, Kazehakase, Firefox. Most of them handle flash and "work" more often, I have a preference for firefox when flash isn't present.....right now it is, and it isn't responsive enough for me to close the tab it's on. | 12:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | ActionParsnip: really useful... I often used locate | 12:33 |
| areay | I'm currently using Ubuntu Desktop Edition to host various daemons for my network (NIS, NFS, Apache, MySQL, Asterisk, Citadel, etc)... What will I stand to gain from switching to Ubuntu Server Edition? | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: so it makes a symlink to whatever binary is ran when you type knotes | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: its not like locate | 12:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | is there a difference between locate and which ? | 12:33 |
| lamebot_ | hi, im trying to change a partion size in Gparted but i have a flag next to the partion that says boot. I think i need to clear this flag before i can change the size. I have tried chkdisk and that didnt work. Any ideas? | 12:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | fine got it | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: locate finds more than which, which will only show binary files in your $PATH | 12:34 |
| dexter1 | hello, i have a trust mouse with lot of buttons, I would like to push 2 of them to switch between desktop spaces in compiz. Is it possible? | 12:34 |
| Slart | areay: you don't have to shut down X once you've booted it, to save memory | 12:34 |
| royalwarecast | it looks like my machine has difficulities making the option to be what it sounds like | 12:34 |
| promet | bob_dole banish Firefox for a bit | 12:34 |
| Slart | areay: I think the kernel is a little different when it comes to performance settings and such.. PAE is enabled for one thing | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: the last bit ./startknotes is just a name and is completly tangiable, it can be anything you like. Itsjust a link to a file | 12:34 |
| promet | Bob_Dole I've noticed sometimes Firefox kind of spikes in system usage | 12:35 |
| silv3r_m00n | yeah now understood all of it ... thanks | 12:35 |
| areay | Slart, cool... I'm still planning on using it as a desktop too... so when i'm done configuring i just do "apt-get install (k)ubuntu-desktop" right? | 12:36 |
| Bob_Dole | yay, tab closed... music that was in the flash is still playing o_o | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: you can make opera jump up if you want with ln -s `which opera` ~/.kde/Autostart/opera_is_awesome_and_i_want_it_to_run_when_i_\login | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: etc | 12:36 |
| Slart | areay: I think that will work.. I've never tried it myself though | 12:36 |
| areay | Slart, well, wish me luck :P | 12:36 |
| Slart | areay: break a leg, or.. get a kernel panic .. or whatever the equivalent is =) | 12:37 |
| areay | Slart, haha | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | silv3r_m00n: if you run echo $PATH you will see where which looks for the binary name | 12:37 |

I installed Ubuntu Jaunty on my HP 2140 with no particular partition assigned to it. Dual-booting works fine, love to have both Ubuntu and XP. But I really want to get both my docs and music from my drive on both systems. The problem here is really Ubuntu; I don't find the docs or music on the system. | 12:52 |

| cambridgecow | Quigonjr, if you use my fullname it makes it easier for me.... if your using WUBI then I can't help you there, i've never used it before but you still should be able to mount the NTFS disk... anyway I would recommend you actually partition the disk, its safe and easy and you can do it with the liveCD | 12:58 |

| Quigonjr | cambridgecow: Ok, I'll perhaps do that. Thanks anyway. Have a good one! | 13:00 |
| indus | Bob_Dole: i hate jaunty | 13:00 |
| indus | but nvm | 13:00 |
| cambridgecow | cratel, yes create a script that does the mount and run the script on startup | 13:00 |
| cambridgecow | Jaunty is the bees knees! | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | syntaxxx: try reditting the file again, then instead of using apt-get to install, use a dpkg force install style | 13:00 |
| Bob_Dole | Jaunty is the only thing that boots on my current hardware, 8.04 and 8.10 lock-up. Alt. install doesn't help. | 13:00 |
| neer | promet: it also says " missing modules (cat /proc/modules) | 13:00 |
| cratel | cambridgecow: the only way I know how to do that is sshfs, which is very buggy. I want Gnome to do the mount. So what would be in a script for that? | 13:00 |

| Slart | GnomeLead: it's probably a meta-package | 13:02 |
| cratel | cambridgecow: no it doesn't. I didn't even have sshfs installed and that works. Gnome does some sort of linking in a directory called .gvfs I think. | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | syntaxxx: i'd see if someone else can help, if it starts takig an age ten a reinstall may be the only way | 13:03 |
| cafree | ActionParsnip, thanks. Looks like it's recognized. Is there a sound setup process? How does it know to use that versus my integrated sound card? | 13:03 |
| syntaxxx | =( | 13:03 |
| Slart | GnomeLead: ie it depends on some other packages.. so instead of installing them all you just install one and it pulls the other ones in | 13:03 |
| cambridgecow | cratel, this is actually peaking my interest | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | syntaxxx: either that or no app installs / uninstalls for you | 13:03 |

| ICARO_YO | cambridgecow, ok i understand is for 64 but im 32 | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | syntaxxx: not so hard to reinstall, your home dir holds settings so the configs can easily be restored from a backup | 13:04 |
| Slart | GnomeLead: it depends on 10 or so packages.. you want the names? | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | syntaxxx: a seperate home partition is ideal | 13:04 |
| syntaxxx | ActionParsnip: thanks.. | 13:04 |
| cambridgecow | ICARO_YO, those are packages for AMD64 and i386 | 13:04 |

| bazhang | GnomeLead, or just remaster a cd with the packages added | 13:05 |
| syntaxxx | ActionParsnip: ill be going now.. | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mobi-sheep: that will need to be sudo mkdir windows | 13:05 |
| GnomeLead | Slart: I see the names - what I wanted to know, is there a way to download it as a package ( with all these 10 apps inside ) ? | 13:05 |
| cambridgecow | ICARO_YO, doesn't mean they couldn't exist, i've just never seen them | 13:05 |

| Jack_Sparrow | johnLee the main difference on the dvd is that it has the repo "Main" included | 13:58 |
| Slart | NET||abuse: hmm.. looks like the actual glyphs are not transparent.. only the space between.. is it the same regardless of which font you use? | 13:59 |
| NET||abuse | it's happening in some places with task tray icon hover popups, and just generally is really hard to work with. | 13:59 |
| johnLee | how about using USB 8GB ? will work? my laptop support usb boot | 13:59 |

| tincture | Hi all, I'm having a problem with a new install of 9.04... compiz is kind of hesitating, like it's loading or something, every time I open a new window, alt-tab, etc | 14:14 |
| tincture | so instead of animating, it just pauses and then shows the window | 14:14 |
| rohit | tincture ~ Which graphic card do you have ? | 14:14 |
| system404 | can ubuntu do wat windows does with sd cards ie speedboost | 14:14 |
| tincture | rohit: ati | 14:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tincture fyi you can also ask in /join #compiz | 14:15 |
| tincture | Jack_Sparrow: aha, thanks.. didn't know if there was a compiz channel :) | 14:15 |
| Lyez | Jack and Slart... thank you for your help today! | 14:15 |

| Slart | tend: tried reinstalling the flash plugin? | 14:16 |
| Lyez | you need to install flash | 14:16 |
| Dr_Willis | system404: no.. linux filesystem/os dont work that way | 14:16 |
| system404 | oh well | 14:16 |
| Slart | tend: that thing is a problem even when it's working as intended.. | 14:16 |
| Dr_Willis | system404: because theres no need to. :) | 14:16 |
| tend | yes i installed again flash but it remain dead ! | 14:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tend How did you install flash | 14:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flash | 14:17 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 14:17 |
| Slart | tend: if you type "about:plugins" in firefox.. what version of the flash plugin are you using? | 14:17 |
| sean2009 | hi how do i change permission so i can access the dvd drive? its mounted under /media/ chmod doesn't work as it says read only?? | 14:17 |
| tend | thanks i''try it | 14:17 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: what are you trying to do to the dvd drive? Normally a user is setup where they can access the dvd's. | 14:18 |
| system404 | another fing with sd card using it in ubuntu then going and using it in windows thats ok aint it ie if i download sumfin on my laptop through ubuntu then took it to a friends house and put in his windows machine itll read fine | 14:18 |
| Dr_Willis | system404: linux can read/write ntfs and vfat. so it should work fine. Be sure to UNMOUNT the media befor unplugging it (on both os's) | 14:18 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, hi iam trying to watch a dvd | 14:18 |
| sean2009 | it wont access the disk | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: a commercial DVD video - you need to install the proper decss stuff I think | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !dvd | 14:19 |

| Dr_Willis | !dvd | 14:19 |
| Slart | system404: well.. windows is a little behind when it comes to dealing with filesystems.. but as long as you use something it understands it should beok | 14:19 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, yes ive done that but it says this--> | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: so NOW we get to the actual problem.. :P | 14:19 |
| system404 | is there a way to edit the grub loader so as it dont give me all those choices theres 2 kernal choices 2 recovery choices and my windows 7 i only want my most recent kernal one my recovery and my windows | 14:19 |
| stix | What do I do when none of Gnome's keyboard shortcuts work anymore? Eg Alt+L to lock the screen and my volume-buttons on the keyboard as well. | 14:19 |
| rohit | Why do you'll attach a '!' before some words ? | 14:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | system404: this is linux.. thers alwas ways to edit things.. Ghe grub menu is controlled by the /boot/grub/menu.lst - MAKE A BACKUP BEFOR EDITING IT. | 14:20 |
| Slart | system404: edit the grub config file.. /boot/grub/menu.lst, save it, then run "sudo update-grub" to activate the changes | 14:20 |
| sean2009 | Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. | 14:20 |
| sean2009 | is what it says | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | system404: you may want to carefully read the menu.lst also and understand its somewhat odd layout | 14:20 |
| corey_ | are RAID5 arrays upgradable? | 14:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) | 14:20 |
| Slart | corey_: hmm.. upgradable to what? RAID5.1 ? =) | 14:21 |
| gharz | guys, how UUID works? i've opensolaris installed and my machine uses opensolaris grub when i start my machine... how do i run ubuntu with UUID? | 14:21 |
| Slart | !uuid | 14:21 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 14:21 |
| viric | Hello | 14:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu has uuid setup already | 14:21 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, the error message is --> Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. | 14:21 |
| viric | We tried to add a package to our Gutsy servers.... | 14:21 |
| system404 | Jack_Sparrow wat will that do | 14:21 |
| bootninja | Hello all. I'm having a bit of sound trouble. whenever I plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my laptop, I suddenly have absolutely no sound | 14:22 |
| Slart | !gutsy | 14:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 14:22 |
| stix | What do I do when none of Gnome's keyboard shortcuts work anymore? Eg Alt+L to lock the screen and my volume-buttons on the keyboard as well. | 14:22 |
| corey_ | Slart: No, upgradeable from 2TB to 76876PB | 14:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 make a backup of your menu list with a time stamp | 14:22 |
| viric | and we have seen Gutsy disappeared from the ubuntu mirrors. | 14:22 |
| viric | Wasn't gutsy supposed to have Long Time Support??? | 14:22 |
| viric | mmm | 14:22 |
| Slart | viric: that version is past it's support end of life ... you might want to upgrade or take some precautions | 14:22 |
| viric | When it was released? | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: when i go to play a dvd - i tell the player /dev/dvd not /media/dvd (or whatever) | 14:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !eol | 14:23 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 14:23 |
| Slart | viric: nah.. I think it was the one before it | 14:23 |
| Slart | !LTS | viric | 14:23 |
| ubottu | viric: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 14:23 |
| tadeu_ | guys, I'd like to change the wallpaper and modify the menu for all users. Is it possible ? | 14:23 |
| Slart | viric: bah.. sorry.. that was almost useless | 14:23 |
| Slart | !hardy | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 14:23 |

| rohit | How come 9.04 is not an LTS release ? | 14:24 |
| system404 | cannot creat regular file access denied | 14:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 sudo that | 14:24 |
| Slart | rohit: there is a system of some sorts.. I think the next one will be a LTS | 14:24 |
| Pici | viric, system404: No. LTSes are generally every two years. 6.06, then 8.04 then 10.04 (possibly 10.10, but not decided yet) | 14:24 |
| viric | I'll kill the sysadmin who put gutsy on the servers... | 14:24 |
| nathan7 | =p | 14:24 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, my dvd is mounted under /media/ +the name of the disc | 14:25 |
| nathan7 | Pici: 6.06? =0 | 14:25 |
| viric | I remember he told me several times "Don't upgrade the ubuntu in the servers, because it has LTS" | 14:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | viric our #ubuntu-server people may be able to help | 14:25 |
| viric | Ubuntu won't last long on the servers .:) | 14:25 |
| * nathan7 hands viric money for an asassin | 14:25 | |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: I dont have to mount a dvd video disk in order to play it. | 14:25 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, if i go to the directory and type --> chmod 755 +R * it says write only | 14:25 |
| nathan7 | I prefer Debain for servers. | 14:26 |
| nathan7 | Debian even. | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: ie.. with vlc i can play it without MOUNTING it... YOU DONT chmod the files.. you are going about it the wrong way | 14:26 |
| Pici | I prefer #ubuntu-offtopic for not support chatter | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: i can play a dvd with 'vlc' for example by the command --> $ vlc dvd:///dev/dvd | 14:26 |
| rohit | Where is the list of all Ubuntu channels on IRC ? | 14:26 |
| bootninja | no you don't want to mount a dvd to play it. your media player will do all that automagically. you only mount it if you want to read the files on the disk | 14:26 |
| Pici | !irc | rohit | 14:26 |
| ubottu | rohit: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 14:26 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, the disc actually mounts itself on the desktop, but denies me permission to access files for exaample the video files | 14:27 |
| viric | thank you for your answers, anyway. Finally I knew the servers don't run a LTS. | 14:27 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: dont worry about the desktop icon.. the player should handle it.. you are in NO way every going to 'chmod' the files ON a optical disk like that. | 14:27 |
| magician0617 | sean2009: check the permissions on the properties of the dis | 14:27 |
| magician0617 | disc** | 14:27 |
| Slart | viric: dont be to bad on the sysadmin.. you could sprain an ancle or something =) | 14:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dr_Willis Could he not have the right group permissions | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: you may want to tyr somthing other then totem also to play dvd's - I suggest intalling 'vlc' and 'gmplayer' | 14:28 |
| sean2009 | magician0617, ok thanks i'll try that | 14:28 |
| system404 | ok ive edited the menu list wat was that command to refresh it again | 14:28 |
| Slart | system404: sudo update-grub | 14:28 |
| shal3r | How to disable composite in xorg in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: check the 'groups' command also... should look like this... | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | groups | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | willis adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 14:29 |
| viric | Slart: I had to look at the english dictionary twice for your sentence. :) | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | the 'cdrom' is the imporntant group | 14:29 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, vlc says this --> Playback failure: | 14:29 |
| sean2009 | VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disk. | 14:29 |
| sean2009 | Your input can't be opened: | 14:29 |
| sean2009 | VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/scd0'. Check the log for details. | 14:29 |
| viric | Slart: the sysadmin left the company half a year ago. | 14:29 |
| FloodBot2 | sean2009: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:29 |
| Slart | shal3r: set desktop effects to none | 14:29 |
| system404 | ok gna restart and hope for the best fingers crossed i come bak hahaha | 14:29 |
| Slart | viric: I hope I got it right =) | 14:29 |
| shal3r | Slart, that don`t disable composite module, it`s only disabling effects | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 before you go | 14:29 |
| system404 | yeah | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: you are using your first initial user to do this? or is this an nother user you added? | 14:29 |
| Slart | shal3r: ah.. that might be true.. | 14:29 |
| shal3r | Slart, it is true | 14:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 sudo nano is one of the cli editors if you need to fix that | 14:30 |
| Slart | bah.. ankle.. not ancle.. my english teacher is spinning in her... office.. I guess | 14:30 |

| Dr_Willis | sean2009: in mot sure why yours is 'scd0' and mine is 'sr0' | 14:31 |
| system404 | mines sr0 also | 14:31 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, no still doesn't work? | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive nver understood why some cd's are sr0 and some are scd0 | 14:31 |
| sean2009 | im new to linux and iam having a hard time understanding anything | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: vlc and mpayer can also play the 'files' from the mounted dvd.. :) but thats a little weird. | 14:32 |

| Dr_Willis | sean2009: 'blanked out' ? clarify | 14:33 |
| bootninja | can anybody help me figure out why I can't get sound out of my speakers? | 14:33 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, also right clicking on the disc & permissions, it says the permissions cant be determined? | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: thats normal | 14:33 |
| sean2009 | blanked out as in you cant click on them though they are there | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: what does the 'groups' command show then? | 14:33 |
| Slart | bootninja: can you pastebin the results from this "cat /proc/asound/cards" | 14:34 |
| Slart | !pastebin | bootninja | 14:34 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mobi-sheep Huh? | 14:34 |

| mobi-sheep | Jack_Sparrow: The link you gave out... Ubuntu Pocket Guide | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: bad windows habbit #7 - Not everything has or needs and icon | 14:34 |
| sean2009 | ok | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: type the command 'groups' - easy eh? :) | 14:34 |
| sean2009 | ok hold on | 14:35 |
| tank-man | and you have to press enter after each command | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mobi-sheep # Free Ubuntu Book: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html Lost the L | 14:35 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, it says--> sean adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 14:35 |
| system404 | yay it worked a charm | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 cool glad you made it | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: well im out of ideas then.. other then trying to run the thing as root as a test.. (not a good idea but this is a 'test') | 14:36 |
| system404 | btw wat is the mem test option in grub for do i really need that there | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 not needed | 14:36 |
| bootninja | slart, http://paste.ubuntu.com/175660/ | 14:36 |
| system404 | kl i do away with that aswell then | 14:36 |
| Computer_Man | Can someone tell me why I can't get CCSM roating cube to work? | 14:36 |
| myeggo | hello, what LTS means? | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | system404 just # rem it out | 14:36 |
| system404 | # rem | 14:36 |
| bootninja | myeggo Long Term Support | 14:36 |
| system404 | ??? | 14:36 |
| Slart | system404: it's useful if you for example can't boot any more and what to see if it's your memory that has lost it's magic | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Computer_Man Do you have wobbley windows now | 14:36 |
| sean2009 | ok i'll try hold on. | 14:36 |
| myeggo | bootninja: it means is the most stable version? | 14:37 |
| archman | how to kill update-notifier and make him to not work in the background? it's wasting 22mb. | 14:37 |
| Computer_Man | no | 14:37 |
| Slart | system404: but you can just as well boot from a memtest cd if you need that.. those are available on the net | 14:37 |
| bootninja | myeggo it's the version that they schlep out to businesses. Canonical will provide support for that version for 3 years from the release date | 14:37 |
| bootninja | that's all it means. | 14:37 |
| mrp | I just rm -rf my whole /home how do I make it the default again? | 14:37 |
| mrp | I don't care that I lost my data. | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Computer_Man Ok, so no effects on yet, we need to see if they are turned off or if your video driver isnt setup, what video card/chipset | 14:38 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, it says vlc isn't supposed to be run as root | 14:38 |
| Slart | system404: I think there is a "add memory tester to menu" setting somewhere in there.. better to change that than to edit out the actual menu choice.. | 14:38 |
| bootninja | mrp, sudo mkdir /home/~ should do it | 14:38 |
| Computer_Man | now that might be the problem. | 14:38 |
| Slart | system404: that way you won't have to do it again when you get a new kernel, or change settings for grub etc | 14:38 |
| system404 | where is that located SLART | 14:38 |
| Computer_Man | how can I get it to detect my video card v/s running default? | 14:38 |
| mrp | bootninja: will all config files just be recreated? | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: yea i noticed that also. :) never tried that befor. could try gmplayer i guess. | 14:39 |
| Slart | bootninja: ok, so alsa has found two cards.. are you using the soundcards built-in on your motherboard? | 14:39 |
| mrp | bootninja: basically I stuff around with configs and then I couldn't get gnome to show toolbars etc so I just rm'rf the whole dir | 14:39 |
| deany | hmm, banshee just removed alsa options from my sound/volume prefs, leaving only pulse, which is no good for me as it doesnt affect volume at all properly. is that "normal"? i removed it and its back how it was.. | 14:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Computer_Man what video card/chipset | 14:39 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, by the way i typed this first whicj uninstalled 40 programs if it helps. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras also i typed in this hold on | 14:39 |
| bootninja | mrp: yes, next time you login to gnome, all the default configs will be created | 14:39 |
| Slart | system404: I don't remember.. but it's in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 14:39 |
| brEz` | Hey | 14:39 |
| mrp | bootninja: sweet thanks mate | 14:39 |
| ehazlett | how do i find the target device of a mounted loopback image? | 14:39 |
| bootninja | slart: yes, I'm on a gateway fx laptop | 14:39 |
| brEz` | if I added an inet6 addr to my wlan0 in ifconfig, after I reboot will the srtting still be there? | 14:39 |
| Computer_Man | not really sure for sure is built in to my Dell GX260 | 14:40 |
| mrp | is there a way to snapshot your home dir? | 14:40 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, also this sudo aptitude install libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread3 libdvdcss2 which combined with the other thing uninstalled 40 progs | 14:40 |
| system404 | and in the grub editor is it ok to change the titles just so it looks a lil better | 14:40 |
| Slart | system404: line 118 on my system... starts with "## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option" | 14:40 |
| sean2009 | perhaps i ve erased something important? | 14:41 |
| bootninja | mrp: I think you can do a dd piped into tar | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: i always install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' it should insall a few dozen extra tools. | 14:41 |
| Slart | system404: and there is a # memtest86=true , change it to false | 14:41 |
| archman | Slart, how can I make update-notifier stop from working in the background? | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: you can try running gmplayer as root -> gksu gmplayer dvd://2 | 14:41 |
| === brEz is now known as brEz_ | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | Computer_Man lspci | grep -i vga in a term | 14:41 |
| Computer_Man | ok | 14:41 |
| sean2009 | ok hold on i'll try it | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: your # (2) may need to change for your disk.. If thst dosent play Im totally out of ideas | 14:41 |

| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, ok thanks for the help i'll try it now | 14:42 |
| Shininggg | is there any ways to update from 8.04 to 9.04 without losing all my compiled application? | 14:42 |
| Slart | archman: hmm.. no idea really.. I'm not sure what part of the system is responsible for it | 14:42 |
| Guest75344 | hi all, under ubuntu 8.04, when trying to install virtualbox-ose, it tries to install linux-image-2.6.24-16-386, but this is not the kernel I'm using, I am using the generic one instead | 14:42 |
| Slart | archman: that sounds like a very probable candidate | 14:42 |
| Guest75344 | why is it trying to install a new kernel ? can I prevent this ? | 14:42 |
| Slart | Guest75344: hmm.. I thought it only installed a kernel module.. | 14:43 |
| Computer_Man | it returned grep -i VGA (VGA in red) | 14:43 |
| === hsoinsaxnly is now known as shinygerbil | ||
| Guest75344 | Slart, apparently, it's aptitude who is faulty, if I use apt-get instead, it's not trying to install a kernel | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Computer_Man odd.. brb | 14:43 |
| Computer_Man | ok thx | 14:44 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, hello that loaded up the disk and played a chapter? and then quit. it did work though | 14:44 |
| bootninja | slart: basically the problem I'm having is I get sound out of the built in laptop speakers, but whenever I plug in my external speakers with subwoofer then I have no sound | 14:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: different #'s are for differtn chapters. :) | 14:44 |
| Guest75344 | ah yes I see, virtualbox-ose-modules is recommended, so aptitude tried to install it | 14:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: so it depends on the disk. at least we showed it worked.. | 14:44 |
| Slart | Guest75344: oh.. first time I've heard of aptitude doing something bad | 14:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: what does 'ls -l /dev/dvd' show for permissions --> mine --> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-05-19 05:05 /dev/dvd -> sr0 | 14:45 |
| Slart | bootninja: have you enabled all the volume sliders in the mixer and tried changing them ? | 14:45 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, yes thanks i changed the numer to 3 and its now playing | 14:45 |
| Guest75344 | Slart, well it's bad in the sense it doesn't let you choose which version of the module you want to install | 14:45 |
| bootninja | slart: yes | 14:45 |
| Slart | bootninja: some soundcards get a separate volume for external and internal speakers | 14:45 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, ok hold on | 14:45 |
| bootninja | slart: I've checked all that and I set everything all the way up, no dice. | 14:46 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: personally i normally rip any dvd to a avi file.. and then put the disk in a safe place.. :) | 14:46 |
| SolusMIB | hey all... | 14:46 |
| sean2009 | Dr_Willis, it says lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-05-19 12:56 /dev/dvd -> sr0 | 14:46 |
| Slart | bootninja: then I'm kind of at a loss.. alsa has always been a weird piece of software.. I'm just happy it works most of the time for me | 14:46 |
| Dr_Willis | sean2009: well i cant see any permissions differances anywhere. compared to my system | 14:46 |

| zig | hi all, I have mistakenly installed another linux-header package, I removed it , but now my previous linux-header package (for the actual version of kernel in use) doesn't seem usable anymore, is the a symlink somewhere pointing on current linux headers ? | 15:20 |
| SolusMIB | ok...I did mistype...superformat /dev/sdb = not a floppy drive - I right clicked on the desktop icon and chose unmount. | 15:20 |
| petllama | tehboriz: right click and "add" | 15:21 |
| tehboriz | crap i forgot to mention petllama i'm using kde | 15:21 |
| tehboriz | it's not in the menus so i assumed it was a widget | 15:21 |
| tehboriz | not in there either... | 15:21 |
| sipior | SolusMIB: can you verify that /dev/sdb is not mounted via "df"? also, what was the exact superformat command you used? | 15:21 |
| royalwarecast | I did sudo firefox and then when I open the firefox with my common account/user it turned to be that I need to modify all plugins as if I have installed them for the first time | 15:21 |

| vigo | tehboriz: ERm, reinstall the package? | 15:26 |
| tehboriz | which package | 15:26 |
| SolusMIB | I'm going to guess that this laptop floppy drive....isn't a real floppy drive at all...or at least ubuntu doesn't think so..what's the standard format command for something like this? | 15:27 |
| vigo | tehboriz: The one that is missing the icon or launcher | 15:27 |
| tehboriz | i accidentally right clicked and clicked remove next to the window tile thing and it got rid of EVERYTHING... | 15:27 |
| royalwarecast | mobi-sheep: yet when I open the firefox each time | 15:27 |
| sipior | SolusMIB: hmm. unfortunately, i have to be afk for a while. my only suggestion at this point would be to burn the floppy drive :-) you can make a normal filesystem on it using mke2fs, which is probably your best bet. superformat is for low-level formatting anyway, not really needed for a "recent" floppy disk. | 15:28 |
| royalwarecast | it needs me to modify the plugins I have already done like downthwmall | 15:28 |
| tehboriz | i mean it's the closest button when you right click, it happened so fast i didn't see waht was goin on.. all i'm left with is a systray which is in the middle, and my two buttons on the left to launch apps... but if i want to minimize something, it's GONE | 15:28 |

| byerley | Hi, I've been having video-player problems since updating to 9.04. Totem/vlc/ect. all close when opening a video normally. I can get mplayer running using "mplayer -fs -zoom video.xkv -vo x11", but the video is choppier than usual to the point of lagging behind the sound. I did check to make sure "direct rendering: Yes" was in glxinfo and everything was working acceptably before the update. Any ideas? | 17:07 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: yup | 17:07 |

| friendishan | whatvn ubottu the error in installing the theme says it says can't move directory upon directory | 17:08 |

| Haegin | hi, Which irc channel is the best place to ask about possible packaging problems? | 17:08 |
| xNinja | hello...may i ask !!! | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | friendishan: ubottu is a 'bot' not a person. :) | 17:09 |
| friendishan | i know | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | friendishan: and ive seen that error befor when trying to 'reinstall' the same theme twice | 17:09 |
| friendishan | whatvn Dr_Willis the error in installing the theme says it says can't move directory upon directory | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | friendishan: not all themes are full 'themes' some are just parts. check the 'customize | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | button and the settings in the tabs there | 17:09 |
| friendishan | but the theme dosen't appear there | 17:09 |
| SolusMIB | I need to format a non standard disk in ubuntu and make it bootable.....any suggestions? | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | a THEME may not be a full theme.. it may not show up under 'themes' it may just be a few parts of a | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | 'theme' set | 17:10 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: if you have any doubt about my editing to that file... let me show you the results after editing that file... see its saved and its in this form now --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/175773/ | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | SolusMIB: clarify what 'non standard' means. | 17:10 |
| byerley | well, new line of thought. How easy is it to downgrade to a previous version? I gotta say I'm a little disappointed by how many things 9.04 broken, cool login screen aside. | 17:10 |
| friendishan | i get | 17:10 |
| friendishan | it | 17:10 |
| sebsebseb | !downgrade | byerley | 17:11 |

| friendishan | i need to install GTK + theme engine | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | byerley: reformat/reinstall.. :) | 17:11 |
| byerley | Dr_Willis: awesome -_- | 17:11 |
| SolusMIB | non standard is a Dell latitude floppy drive that ubuntu does not see as a floppy drive but a 1.5 media..../dev/sdb | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | friendishan: i tend to use the 'gnome-art' tool to get themes and parts.. | 17:11 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: this is your all one http://paste.ubuntu.com/175774/ | 17:11 |

| thuglife222 | whatvn: sorry? i mean what to do with it ???? | 17:11 |
| friendishan | ok | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | SolusMIB: mkfs.whatever /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 (perhaps) | 17:11 |
| sebsebseb | vigo: I already did that | 17:11 |
| whatvn | first rollback our work, try to fix after | 17:11 |
| byerley | well, updating broke my system. I don't see the difference :P | 17:12 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: do you want me to edit it again or what?with this one you posted as pastebin??? | 17:12 |
| vigo | sebsedsed: Any errors or did you do the recompile? | 17:12 |
| Bob_Dole | Ah, good, my Ubuntu 9.04 showed up....and so did Acronis True Image 2009. Now I can look more professional :o | 17:12 |
| Bob_Dole | cds* | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | byerley: none of my systems could even do a 'upgrade' i alsyas do clean reinsalls anyway. If you are going todo tht.. you may want to try a clean/fresh/new and shiny install of 9.04 | 17:12 |
| sebsebseb | vigo: no I meant the !downgrade | 17:12 |
| SolusMIB | Thank you for responding Dr_Willis!! I did the mkfs on the drive but when I tried syslinux /dev/sdb, it failed to recognize the format | 17:13 |
| vigo | sebsebseb: My \apologies, this screen is tiny, let me fix that now | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | SolusMIB: i would double check the sysliunuyx docs.. I think you use that on a MOUNTED filesystem not /dev/sdb | 17:13 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: what to do now ???? | 17:13 |
| sebsebseb | vigo: your mutli tasking? | 17:13 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: http://paste.ubuntu.com/175774/ <copy content of this pastbin, delete all current line in /etc/apt/sources.lst and paste in it, save, then come back here | 17:13 |
| SolusMIB | Will do...Thank you again!!! | 17:14 |

| dingdongding | i am have a sound card issue and i am using compaq presario CQ40, anyone here can help me? | 17:14 |
| sipior | nickgrey147: typically, you would create a group of accounts that should be able to edit the file, and then add the user to that group (if only one person ever needs to edit the file, simply make them the owner of the file via "chown"). if you need a finer set of access controls, try using access control lists (ACLs): see the man pages for getfacl and setfacl. | 17:15 |
| Bob_Dole | I think that it is funny..that Ubuntu's free CDs are wonderful pressed disks, and the 60 dollar software I bought was a burned CD with a somewhat fuzzy label. | 17:15 |
| gourlis | Thanks all those who helped me here. My partition formatted and I'm back to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS | 17:15 |

| jarednevans | Am about to install Ubuntu to a new system: Would anyone recommend the use of EXT4 now that it's been out for a while? | 17:16 |
| sebsebseb | jarednevans: maybe, still some issues with it mentioned in the release notes | 17:16 |
| sebsebseb | !notes | 17:16 |

| pzone1 | Hey, is it possible to install ATI drivers for my Radeon XPress 200m on Jaunty? | 17:17 |
| jarednevans | I'm aware of the potential data-loss problems with EXT4 - Would this be fixed with one of the auto-upgrades after initial Jaunty installation? | 17:17 |
| sebsebseb | jarednevans: data loss ha I don't quite think so | 17:17 |
| byerley | Dr_Willis: I see quite a few big bugs reported so far, none with acceptable solutions. Is this normal for a version upgrade? Usually I tend to lag behind them and I'm wishing I stuck to that policy | 17:17 |
| dingdongding | my sound car is not functioning after upgrade to jaunty, anyone could help me? | 17:17 |
| vigo | sebsebseb: okee dokee | 17:17 |
| sebsebseb | jarednevans: apparnatly Ext4 partitions can maybe get currupted, but to be sure you back up data somewhere else as well | 17:17 |
| pzone1 | I've heard that the drivers might not work with X version 1.6 | 17:18 |
| jarednevans | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes#Lock-ups%20when%20deleting%20files%20from%20ext4%20filesystems | 17:18 |
| sebsebseb | jarednevans: the data loss issue as far as I know is fixed | 17:18 |
| FLjohn | Very simple questions I hope. I am new to Ubuntu and I downloaded 8.04. I want the newest version. I am running a new system and i would like to go 64 bit. When I download it do I have to unzip it or will it just unpackage itself since I am already running Ubuntu | 17:18 |
| sebsebseb | jarednevans: yeah some kind of file deletion bug sure, but that would be the only one that effects a clean install I think | 17:18 |
| guest_007 | My cpu is 100% loaded (System Monitor) while process monitor, top and htop shows that cpu load is 0-20%, but it really slow. How to determine which system app/driver is eating my cpu? | 17:19 |
| jarednevans | where is this bug fix brought into the system? | 17:19 |
| jarednevans | is it fixed on the installation media or during one of the auto-upgrades after an installation? | 17:19 |
| airtonix | fetchmail question : "/etc/fetchmailrc" seems to be for global, is it possible to have fetchmail run per user based on a similar file in their home folder? | 17:19 |
| edmoore | hi - trying to download 9.04 for my 64 bit intell machine but the iso that has come down is ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso i.e. it looks like it's for amd architecture. I didn't specify this, it just seems to have assumed i want imd, when I want intel. ideas? | 17:19 |
| sipior | airtonix: yes, the file is .fetchmailrc, in the user's home directory. | 17:20 |
| airtonix | sipior, cheers | 17:20 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: i followed as you said | 17:20 |
| sebsebseb | FLjohn: which 8.04 did you get? | 17:20 |
| Bob_Dole | edmoore, amd64 is x86_64 | 17:20 |
| thuglife222 | but there is no such thing as Uncheck Multiverse Repo, ok | 17:20 |
| edmoore | Bob_Dole: ok - but it should work fine on my intel machine? | 17:20 |
| Bob_Dole | edmoore, AMD went 64bit first, so a lot of people still call 64bit x86 amd64, and yes, it will work fine. | 17:21 |
| FLjohn | seb. I think it is hardy heron | 17:21 |
| thuglife222 | all i see few tabs and you didn't mention in which tab it is | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | FLjohn: why did you get 8.04 when you want 9.04 ? | 17:21 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: uncheck what checkbox follow with Multiverse | 17:21 |
| edmoore | Bob_Dole: great, thanks for your help | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | FLjohn: and I meant if your version was 32bit or 64bit | 17:21 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: but does that comes into download tab? | 17:21 |
| Paulo39 | hi, i have lost my internet connection! :( i had ubuntu on my desktop, then i installed win 7, then i reinstall grub and all of that. when i enter win 7 i surf a little on the web. Now, when i start ubuntu, i am not able to connect to the internet... how can i solve this? | 17:21 |

| Paulo39 | i change the workgroup name in /etc/samba/smb.conf to the same workgroup name of win 7 | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | FLjohn: ah right, well get them using Ubuntu to, when they are older I guess :) | 17:22 |
| tchough | does anybody know what the preferred method of launching a process as a certain user from an init script is? | 17:22 |
| ryan_ | what are the advantages of a 64bit OS? (besides being able to utilize more RAM) | 17:22 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: yes | 17:22 |

| thuglife222 | again there is error in the last line | 17:24 |
| prassyy | vigo: thank you | 17:24 |
| thuglife222 | check the results | 17:24 |
| sipior | tchough: the preferred method is not to do it, i think :-) what end result are you aiming for? probably easier to run your program from rc.local. | 17:24 |
| prassyy | vigo: i'll google it :) | 17:24 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: ok, then goto terminal sudo apt-get update | 17:24 |
| vigo | prassyy: here> https://help.ubuntu.com/ | 17:25 |
| sipior | tchough: or you could simply write a wrapper around your code, and give up root permission via setuid() | 17:25 |
| tchough | sipior: i'm trying to run an auto answering voip daemon as under it's own system user instead of root | 17:25 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: i did that and as a result i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/175781/ | 17:25 |
| prassyy | vigo: yeah got it | 17:25 |
| FLjohn | Ok. I was trying to put Ubuntu on a CD. My old computer did not have a DVD drive so a regular disk would not hold the new 9.xx version. The site said Hardy was just uncer 700. When I went to write it to disk it was not. I had a problem, so I put it on a thumb drive. My questions is now that it is on my Solid state harddrive (main drive) can I just go ahead and so an update or do I need to do the thumbdrive again? | 17:25 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: check it out i did as you told me to do so | 17:25 |

| kadafi | hi | 17:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FLjohn Write as an image not as a single file | 17:26 |
| prassyy | Jack_Sparrow: thank you | 17:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prassyy any time | 17:26 |
| sebsebseb | FLjohn: you can't directly upgrade 8.04 to 9.04, you have to go through 8.10 first | 17:26 |
| tchough | sipior: i'd rather not have to write anything more complex than a script if possible... a lot of daemons run as system users... surely there's a simple way to do it in a shell script that i don't konw about? | 17:26 |
| Scunizi | FLjohn: if you've done the install then the usb isn't necessary | 17:26 |
| FLjohn | Ok is there anything I need to do regarding unzipping? | 17:26 |
| Bob_Dole | oh, advantages of 64bit: 64bit integer math, more RAM. Disadvantages of 64bit: It requires more memory to do the same things, 1-2 compat. issues, but getting fewer and fewer(are there still any?) | 17:26 |
| sipior | tchough: oh, beg your pardon, i misread your question as starting a program from init directly. your best bet is to copy one of the pre-existing init scripts in /etc/init.d. | 17:27 |
| airtonix | sipior, any way to setup fetchmail so i don't have to store my email passwords in plaintext within that user specific folder ? | 17:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FLjohn Write the iso as an image not as a single file | 17:27 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: you got it???? | 17:27 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: I'm checking | 17:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !burn | 17:27 |
| thuglife222 | ok | 17:27 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 17:27 |
| Scunizi | FLjohn: no.. but if you simply copied the .iso file to a usb it won't do anything anyway.. you have to burn the .iso as an image not data | 17:27 |
| Falatooni | Hi | 17:27 |
| === selocol is now known as yimi | ||
| sipior | airtonix: you can have fetchmail ask you every time, i suppose. or look into kerberos authentication. | 17:27 |
| Scunizi | FLjohn: the .iso when burned correctly will fit on a normal cd | 17:28 |
| === yimi is now known as selocol | ||
| pzone1 | hey does anyone know about installing ATI drivers on 9.04? I'm hoping I don't need to downgrade or use a different distro or something. | 17:28 |
| ryan_ | theres a tool called like usbwriter or something, its a easy tool for burning an image to a flash drive | 17:28 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: sudo apt-get clean then sudo apt-get update | 17:28 |
| thuglife222 | sure wait a sec | 17:28 |
| FLjohn | I have 4 gigs of Ram. Will 64 bit run better then 8.04 32 Bit heron? | 17:29 |
| Falatooni | I would linke. ubuntu developers add some softwares to the next version of ubuntu. I would like, Where I can propose my softwares to the Ubuntu developers? Thanks | 17:29 |

| sipior | tchough: sure, you can always just issue a "su -l <username>", although that's not a very pretty solution. ideally, your daemon will drop root permissions on its own. | 17:29 |
| sebsebseb | Falatooni: the developers mailing list | 17:30 |
| FLjohn | Thanks all for the input. Talk next time | 17:30 |
| ryan_ | fljohn, your 32 bit OS will only recognize a little more than 3GB of RAM | 17:30 |
| Scunizi | FLjohn: there is some.. search on www.google.com/linux | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sebsebseb the brainstorm link is a better choice | 17:30 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/175789/ | 17:30 |
| Wazm | no | 17:30 |
| sebsebseb | Jack_Sparrow: is it really? according to one guy, there are loads of stupid suggestions there, that get ignored as well, and never become features | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ryan_ 32 supports 4 gigs, but the desktop uses from 3.3 to 4 fto keep the desktop running better/smoothly | 17:30 |

| Falatooni | OK. Thanks | 17:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sebsebseb dumb ideas always will get passed over | 17:31 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: nops it was like running for some time then i got the next like but no results | 17:32 |
| sebsebseb | Jack_Sparrow: good point | 17:32 |
| Bob_Dole | Windows won't use more than 3.5GB or some such on 32bit, but I think that is specific to windows. | 17:32 |
| sipior | Jack_Sparrow: you're an optimist :-) | 17:32 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: it didn't return me any result | 17:32 |
| Scunizi | Bob_Dole: nope.. specific to all 32 bit OS's | 17:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sipior true.. they did include Wubi | 17:32 |
| tchough | sipior: unfortunately, su won't work for me because the system user's shell is /bin/false.... i could change that, but i think it's a security precaution | 17:32 |
| sebsebseb | Jack_Sparrow: :) you don't like Wubi much either | 17:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sebsebseb the worst idea in all of Ubuntu land | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | Jack_Sparrow: I think they should be more clear Wubi can be useful for trying, but can cause issues, and it's better to partition the hard disk for real, for a proper Ubuntu install | 17:33 |
| whatvn | thuglife222: tied my hand :| | 17:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sebsebseb If there is a pre-existing directory called "ubuntu" in the target drive, it will be reused during the Windows installation and the full directory will be removed when uninstalling (364166). This will result in the loss of any files which were originally in that directory. | 17:33 |
| vigo | Jack_Sparrow: I could not agree more. It did help get Ubuntu into the masses, still a goofy idea. | 17:33 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: i know | 17:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sebsebseb Yet another reason to dislike wubi | 17:33 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: i truly apprecite you for you help and efforts | 17:34 |
| sipior | tchough: you only need to ensure that the target user of su exists: "su -l myphonedaemon", user myphonedaemon must exist and have something other than /bin/false as a shell. | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | Jack_Sparrow: oh didn't know that | 17:34 |
| thuglife222 | whatvn: but i don't understand what went wrong with my ubuntu | 17:34 |

| ubuntu___ | Hi there, I just installed kubuntu from the live CD, but I added LVM into the process.. Before install, I apt-get install lvm2, created the LVM partitions. Then I ran the installer, selected the LVM partitions (but /boot has its own separate partition, still), did installation, and when finished, I chrooted into the new installation and installed the lvm2 package there too so that ubuntu would have LVM support. Then I reboot, grub loads, but then it fai | 17:37 |
| ubuntu___ | saying it failed find / , that it can not finnd /dev/system/root (which is the LV root from the group system).. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this? | 17:37 |
| chris_ | i am getting lines on my video playback | 17:37 |

| thuglife222 | durt: no | 17:41 |
| ubuntu___ | Anyone who has an idea about installing ubuntu with LVM? | 17:41 |
| system404 | sebsebseb just because its torrent dont mean its pirated | 17:41 |

| thuglife222 | durt: how to add it | 17:41 |
| sebsebseb | system404: anyway no offence or whatever, let's move on from that | 17:41 |
| sebsebseb | system404: and I have used Ubuntu since second release in 2005, and so if you listen to me :) | 17:42 |
| zealiod | I don't want to install ubuntu on the external hard drive - but use it purely as an installer | 17:42 |
| zealiod | at boot time | 17:42 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: I have it installed in lvm (using the alt install cd, the regular one didn't recognize lvm in the past, although that might have been fixed) | 17:42 |
| durt | thuglife222, open /etc/apt/sources.list in 'sudo gedit' (hit F2) | 17:42 |

| bullgard4 | I tested an Empathy 2.26.1 voice chat connection with a remote partner using Ubuntu 9.04 and XMPP. I could understand him well but he understood only 5% of my speech. Where can I find guidance to analyze the problem and troubleshoot? | 17:43 |
| sebsebseb | system404: this is like someone yesterday, or was that you? | 17:43 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: how far does it get before failing? | 17:43 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: well, by default it STILL does not come with the lvm package, gods know why.. :) but I installed the lvm package myself, but its not working.. | 17:43 |
| sebsebseb | system404: 5GB for Ubuntu is rather small indeed | 17:43 |
| talbotts | Ok, Im totally lost here. I dont know how to use this chat lol and I need help with my system! | 17:43 |
| chris_ | has anyone experienced those choopy lines on video playback with ubunto 9.04 | 17:43 |
| thuglife222 | durt: i meant i know it is opened but where to fix that line error | 17:43 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: I just installed kubuntu from the live CD, but I added LVM into the process.. Before install, I apt-get install lvm2, created the LVM partitions. Then I ran the installer, selected the LVM partitions (but /boot has its own separate partition, still), did installation, and when finished, I chrooted into the new installation and installed the lvm2 package there too so that ubuntu would have LVM support.

| ubuntu___ | it failed find / , that it can not finnd /dev/system/root (which is the LV root from the group system).. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this? | 17:43 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: I did not have to install the lvm package manually (this is 9.04 btw) | 17:43 |
| durt | thuglife222, it's in line 5 or 6 near the top. | 17:43 |
| sebsebseb | talbotts: ok what's the problem exactly? | 17:43 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: See above, it gets all the way, but then after reboot, grub fails | 17:43 |
| durt | thuglife222, end of the line. | 17:43 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: Well, the live CD does NOT have the lvm package.. | 17:43 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: can you pastebin your grub.conf? | 17:44 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: sure | 17:44 |
| bullgard4 | In Jaunty gibt es bei mir ein Verzeichnis /.mc mit root-Rechten. Das gab es in Ubuntu 8.04.2 nicht. Es hat nur eine Datei 'history'. Die ist leer. Wozu ist diese Datei gut? | 17:44 |
| talbotts | I need to install a program that is for windows, I have crossover but dont know how to use it | 17:44 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: one sec | 17:44 |
| vigo | !pastebin | 17:44 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 17:44 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: ah, you used the regular cd then? | 17:44 |
| system404 | anything i download will b stored to my downloads folder on ntfs partition so my ubuntu partition is for ubuntu aps only and installing kde will take quite a bit from me so i dont want to go there just yet once im more comfortable with ubuntu i will totally cross over and be done with windows but as i said only bn usin this 2 days so i got a while to go before the crossover | 17:44 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: I used the live CD | 17:44 |
| sipior | zealiod: i know i've seen this in the documentation section of the ubuntu web site. try googling "ubuntu" and "usb stick" and i expect you'll get there directly. or if you already have a 9.04 system hanging around, there's a handy usb stick tool in the administration menu, i believe. | 17:44 |
| sebsebseb | talbotts: your brand new to Ubuntu? | 17:44 |
| talbotts | yes i am | 17:44 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: yeah, I didn't have much luck using that cd and lvm in the past. | 17:44 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: so a normal install CD DOES have LVM support? | 17:44 |
| sebsebseb | talbotts: how did you find out about Crossover, and what is the app you want to install? | 17:44 |
| chris_ | i really need help i have exhausted all the search possibilities online. my system says it is running ok but those lines are driving me mad. i know i am new but i have tried all that i can think of... | 17:45 |
| zealiod | sipior: its not a usb stick.... that's half the issue - all the docs try and help you out in a million ways for that... the usb hard disk i have here is SATA | 17:45 |
| icewaterman | are there updated mesa and radeon driver packages somewhere for jaunty? | 17:45 |
| talbotts | it was already on my computer. i was looking around and seen it because it mentioned windows, basically its all trial and error for me | 17:45 |
| sebsebseb | chris_: graphics cards can be a bit difficult to get working properly in Ubuntu | 17:45 |
| portacoon | hello there | 17:45 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: I used the alternate install cd (the one that gives you a text-based installer). I tried the regular livecd in the past and got stuck on lack of lvm on the livecd. This might have changed in 9.04 but I did not feel like trying. | 17:45 |
| portacoon | i was wondering if there is a way to install ubunto for mac 6.06 entirely through text | 17:46 |
| sipior | zealiod: still bootable though, yeah? | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | talbotts: you can pm me if you want to talk somewhere more quite by the way | 17:46 |

| thuglife222 | durt: you said miss spelling i am not able to understand where is miss spelling i posted you top 6 lines | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | talbotts: and I have helped quite a few newbies get started with Ubuntu rather nicely. just click on my name | 17:46 |
| thuglife222 | durt: where do you see error please post it back | 17:46 |
| talbotts | ok thx | 17:46 |
| durt | thuglife222, line 5 add an 'e' at the end of 'multivers' | 17:47 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: well don't bother trying, there is no LVM support :) but so, the alternate CD does have LVM support... ? | 17:47 |
| durt | then save and update again | 17:47 |
| chuck_ | chris_, it is called tearing and more than likely you have the ati proprietary driver installed | 17:47 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: in any case.. my situation right now is.. I dont have the alternate CD, I have ubuntu completely installed.. | 17:47 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: yes, the alternate install cd just worked (I had previously created lvs to install into, and those lvs showed up in the partitioner) | 17:47 |
| thuglife222 | durt: line 5 is --> deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid universe multivers e | 17:47 |

| durt | thuglife222, are you trolling? | 17:48 |

| mzz | ubuntu___: err, apt-get install pastebinit, of course | 17:49 |

| mzz | ubuntu___: you mentioned it complaining about /dev/system/root, but that isn't in your grub.conf (which is good). Is it in your fstab? | 18:00 |
| kliNikal | hey | 18:01 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: well, /dev/mapper/system-root is the same as /dev/system/root :) or it should be anyway, and the first one IS in the menu.lst | 18:01 |
| kliNikal | anyone here got experience with openbox? | 18:01 |
| durt | kliNikal, a little | 18:01 |
| Bob_Dole | OK, so something is playing audio.... but I don't know what... | 18:01 |
| ltcabral | hello... what do you guys think about this partitioning and how can i do it with ubuntu, since i cant find where to change RAID, mount /other and /work http://pastie.org/482966 | 18:01 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: the root entry in the fstab is this one: UUID=1c86fb6c-47bf-41de-890d-a49136ddef7d / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 18:01 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: so what's the exact error message and at what point do you get it (mentioning one or more messages occuring right above the final failure could help)? | 18:01 |
| kliNikal | i'm trying to get my bluetooth dongle to work durt, hciconfig says its working but no apps seems to work | 18:02 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: point is if lvm isn't working at all it won't know /dev/mapper/system-root and /dev/system/root are the same thing. That knowledge isn't baked into the kernel. | 18:02 |
| durt | kliNikal, sry no exp. with bluetooth | 18:02 |
| kliNikal | even bluesnarf works lol just cant get file transfer for my cell | 18:02 |
| portacoon | can anyone read what im saying? | 18:02 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: don't have the *exact* message, it complains about.. IIRC, timeout while waiting for / (root) and that /dev/mapper/system-root is not available | 18:02 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: exactly | 18:03 |
| Bob_Dole | It's a song I have on my fileserver... I was trying to get rhythmbox to play it, but it was just throwing errors. I closed rhytmbox, and music is still playing. The errors were "can not import file" and was something about gstreamer, and rhythmbox. | 18:03 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: my guess is that either the volume group was not enabled yet (dunno if the kernel does that automatically upon boot) or that the kernel somehow does not have the LVM module loaded | 18:03 |
| vigo | Bob_Dole: Do you have Pulse installed? | 18:03 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: ok, so it sounds like the initramfs is loaded successfully and fails to initialize lvm (?). Anything interesting lvm-related above the final error? | 18:03 |
| xisco | any channel to ask questions about python ? | 18:03 |
| mzz | xisco: iirc there's a #python or a ##python. | 18:03 |
| mzz | xisco: or you can just ask me, I guess :) | 18:03 |
| Bob_Dole | vigo, pulseaudio? it's default and I see it in top | 18:03 |
| durt | portacoon, yes, if nobody answers, nobody knows. | 18:04 |
| Bob_Dole | it's default isn't it?* | 18:04 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: Sorry, Its on the same laptop that I am using now with live CD.. I'd have to reboot to see the error.. Can do that if you can wait 5 minutes | 18:04 |
| portacoon | okay so, i can get ethernet to work, but i need to get airport to work, atm i cant figure it out | 18:04 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: sec | 18:04 |
| vigo | Bob_Dole: Not really, on many it has to be installed also | 18:04 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: sec? | 18:04 |
| mzz | can someone remind me how to rebuild the initramfs? | 18:04 |
| erUSUL | portacoon: airport uses a weird standar regarding wep passwords | 18:04 |
| xisco | mzz, oh thanks, I want to know how to detect in python if the caps lock is activate or desactive ! | 18:05 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: isnt that actually done by the apt-get install lvm2 command, after the chroot? | 18:05 |
| portacoon | i can connect to unsecure | 18:05 |
| bobbob1016 | How can I symlink /media/disk/foo and /media/disk-1/foo to /home/bob/foo? | 18:05 |
| erUSUL | mzz: update-initrmfs ? | 18:05 |
| Bob_Dole | vigo, Odd, I've yet to have an ubuntu installation that didn't have pulseaudio on it by default. Will killing it cause any problems? | 18:05 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: iirc update-initramfs can be used to rebuild the initramfs. It's possible your initramfs doesn't properly support lvm (did you have to install lvm into the installed system manually?) | 18:05 |
| portacoon | right now im installing ubuntu lol, i finally got the resolution manually changed | 18:05 |
| jrib | bobbob1016: ln -s TARGET NAME | 18:05 |

| portacoon | my heatsink for my video card= floppy disk | 18:05 |
| system404 | im a firstarter a twisted firestarter | 18:05 |
| mzz | xisco: using what toolkit, or on the commandline? | 18:05 |
| vigo | Bob_Dole: killing Pulse could render any audio unusable. | 18:05 |
| system404 | gimme gimme gimme what ya got got | 18:06 |
| sysdoc | Bob_Dole, If you'd like a site with instructions on Pulseaudio let me know | 18:06 |
| xisco | mzz, gtk | 18:06 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: yes.. after the install, I mounted the 3 partitions that I have (root, boot and home) in /target (root) /target/home (home) and /target/boot (sda3, which is the boot partition).. then I chrooted there | 18:06 |
| mzz | xisco: hmm, sec | 18:06 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: and then I did apt-get install lvm2 | 18:06 |
| bobbob1016 | jrib: TARGET NAME? I'm currently doing "ln -s /media/disk/foo /home/bob/foo" and "ln -s /media/disk-1/foo /home/bob/foo" | 18:06 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: All this was taken from a tutorial on how to do it.. all steps make perfect sense.. | 18:06 |
| portacoon | ill have to get back to you after ubuntu installs | 18:06 |
| ubuntu___ | mzz: be it only that it didnnt work :) | 18:06 |
| portacoon | is it okay i stay connected here till its done, or should i log out? | 18:06 |
| erUSUL | bobbob1016: you can not make a link that points to two different places... | 18:07 |
| mzz | ubuntu___: regenerating the initramfs before you reboot to get the error is worth a shot imho | 18:07 |

| erUSUL | KingKimi: ffmpeg | 18:07 |
| Bob_Dole | So then, how would I stop this song from playing over and over without disconnecting from the net, killing my audio in general, etc? | 18:07 |
| bobbob1016 | erUSUL: I just want the files from /disk/foo and /disk-1/foo to be listed in /bob/foo | 18:07 |

| arthurh | I have a current machine running w/ no virtualization. I'd like to move this virtual machine to a kvm environment. On the host, I'd like to create a Logical Volume (LVM) that is the /exact size/ of the source machine's disk -- is it possible to define an LVM LV of an exact specific number of allocated blocks (so as to avoid waste by making the destination LV bigger than the source?) | 18:10 |
| wpgGirl | Help... something strange just happened. I was customizing my menu, deleting entries and stuff, renaming others, when I suddenly couldn't open my home folder. I rebooted the computer, and now nothing happens after I log in. I'm just sitting there staring at the wallpaper. I can't hit alt+f2 or anything. | 18:10 |
| Bob_Dole | Nor do I see any other media players. I do see pulseaudio. | 18:10 |
| arthurh | Or if I'm off track, what is considered "best practice" for this environment | 18:10 |
| mzz | xisco: hmm, I've found a gdk function that probably does this (gdk_keymap_get_caps_lock_state) but pygtk does not seem to wrap it :( | 18:10 |
| thuglife222 | durt: my open office has gone........ can't install it from add/remove programs so the last thing left is to install it from ubuntu8.10 cd | 18:10 |
| durt | Bob_Dole, something using cpu? | 18:10 |
| bobbob1016 | erUSUL: The ln command would probably error. I know there won't be same files, for me at least. Is there no way to do this? | 18:10 |
| thuglife222 | durt: but i am new to ubuntu not expert with commands that's why i am asking you | 18:10 |
| xisco | mzz, thanks, now that I have that function and I will try to find something else | 18:11 |
| durt | thuglife222, what was the error when trying to install oo.o | 18:11 |
| === Radek is now known as Guest5076 | ||
| mzz | xisco: it's probably possible to duplicate what that function does using a Keymap object, but it's not entirely trivial. Or there may be a different way I'm overlooking. You might want to ask in the pygtk support channel on gimpnet. | 18:11 |

| Bob_Dole | *keeels totem* | 18:12 |
| mzz | xisco: oh, actually if you have pygtk 2.16 you probably do have gtk.gdk.Keymap.get_caps_lock_sttate | 18:13 |
| durt | Bob_Dole, xD | 18:13 |
| mzz | xisco: s/sttate/state/ (I was looking at an older pygtk). So then you just have to figure out how to get a keymap, hmm | 18:13 |
| mzz | xisco: ah, gtk.gdk.keymap_get_default().get_caps_lock_state() | 18:13 |
| ape718 | anyone have experience with AFP/netatalk on ubuntu? | 18:14 |

| norbi | hello, just did a fresh install of ubuntu on my laptop with a broadcom wireless chip... installed through ubuntu the restricted driver... the chip seems to be working as the light shows up on it... but how do i search for a wireless connection? this is on 9.04...any help would be appreciated | 18:14 |
| mzz | xisco: if you have an older pygtk you can probably find or write code that figures it out from the keymap object. | 18:14 |
| bobbob1016 | erUSUL: No, I know exactly what you are saying, but the whole reason I want to do this is so I don't have subdirs. It's on my mythbox, I want everything in one folder. Since I control the data, there won't be duplicates. I know it'd be bad if there were duplicates, but I don't see why there wouldn't be that ability, ln should just say "there are duplicates" and not symlink them to begin with then. Same as when I copy a fil | 18:15 |
| bobbob1016 | e over another, it says "exists already are you sure?" it could say "you are symlinking 2 with the same name, should I rename them to say disk and disk-1, or not even link them?" | 18:15 |
| portacooninstall | i have had that same problem norbi i dont remember how i fixed it | 18:15 |
| KingKimi | when i plugin nokia usb wire into computer, it says connect to internet.......... but i cant access the memory card in phone | 18:15 |
| thuglife222 | when i got to add/remove programs... in all available applications tab on the right side when i type open office... the open office appears with .word processor ..ppt etc... now when i try to check that tab to intall it it reture in error which says can't install openoffice.org-writer" and below in the description it's written " the application conflits with the other installed software, to install openoffice.org-writer the conflicting software must be r | 18:15 |
| thuglife222 | durt: you got it now | 18:15 |
| mzz | arthurh: see the lvcreate -l option, but I'm pretty sure that gets rounded (hopefully always up) to the nearest whole number of extents. | 18:16 |
| erUSUL | bobbob1016: but you are not symlinking the files one by one you want to symlink the directories...... if you are going to symlink every file one by one it is another matter | 18:16 |
| portacooninstall | question, after i get ubuntu installed, and i put the airport card back in, if im connected to the internet will it find the drivers via update? | 18:17 |
| durt | thuglife222, you have another version of oo.o installed? newer version perhaps? | 18:17 |
| thuglife222 | durt: its koffice workspace somg thing like that | 18:17 |
| bobbob1016 | erUSUL: I did that with something like "ln -s /disk/foo/* /bob/foo/" and "ln -s /disk-1/foo/* /bob/foo/" but it isn't working, I was just looking for the syntax | 18:17 |
| thuglife222 | but i don't want it.. i want open office back | 18:17 |
| KingKimi | when i plugin nokia usb wire into computer, it says connect to internet.......... but i cant access the memory card in phone | 18:17 |
| arthurh | mzz: That's what I was going for, but extents are measured in what units? blocks? when I specified number of blocks via -l it was way larger than the target VG could create, so I'm guessing my idea of an "extent" is really flawed | 18:18 |
| durt | thuglife222, you using kubuntu? | 18:18 |
| thuglife222 | durt: nops its ubuntu8.10 | 18:18 |
| norbi | portacooninstall: thanks for the reply, the card seems to be working, ifconfig shows wlan but I just can't seem to search for available networks, maybe a third party application is needed? not sure | 18:19 |
| durt | thuglife222, give a crap if koffice goes? | 18:19 |
| thuglife222 | all i know last time i installed this koffice workspace but never know what's it all about | 18:19 |
| kavurt | on the same computer, i have ubuntu 9.04 and kubuntu 8.10 | 18:19 |
| kavurt | I installed skype on both. | 18:19 |
| thuglife222 | durt: its ubuntu8.10 | 18:19 |
| mzz | arthurh: the extent size is a property of the volume group (see "PE size" in vgdisplay). They're usually several MB. | 18:20 |
| thuglife222 | durt: how can i remove this koffice... uninstall it ........ ? terminal if yes command? | 18:20 |
| durt | thuglife222, ok, if you don't care about koffice, close add/remove and open synaptic from system tools and try to install from there. | 18:20 |

| thuglife222 | when i clicked it it took me to the browers to some server site | 18:53 |
| quintinvr | mechbangirc: Yep like mzz said - reverse shell is the way to go. Basically you get this server to connect to your computer via ssh, and you connect back over another port. The catch is that you need to get this server to connect to yours - you can do this with a little bash scripting, to get it on the server is another problem though - do you have physical access to the box? | 18:53 |

| phillipsm | uatec: if you have an xp install cd you can wipe the partions out with that or you can use the live cd and gparted to erase the current partitions then it shouldn't need to on install | 18:54 |
| mechbangirc | quintinvr: not at the moment (physical access) it is in another city. i am learning reverse shell c if it may help | 18:55 |
| Uatec | oooh, yes, i have a 7.10 live CD i could boot to and then use gparted to sort it out | 18:55 |

| thuglife222 | it's creating the confusion........ the whole text change when you paste it on the main | 18:56 |

| phillipsm | norbi: do you have roaming mode enabled? if you do when you click on the network icon in the bar it should show you available wireless networks | 19:11 |
| sbasuita | Goldline, the only difference between server and desktop editions are the packages on the cd | 19:11 |
| rittyan | Hi all, I am running ubuntu and I am trying to install one app that surely works on another laptop (gentoo). I downloaded targz, untarred and then you can see what is happening here: http://mongodb.pastebin.com/d266a306b there is a full set of executables and bash complains "No such file or directory" | 19:11 |
| sbasuita | Goldline, you can get the same packages from the ubuntu archives | 19:11 |
| Uatec | HUH? there's a file system on my new disk, with /usr and /etc/ and lib/ and /mnt and stuff alreayd | 19:11 |
| Uatec | that's WEIRD | 19:12 |
| rittyan | running ubuntu 9.04 | 19:12 |
| phillipsm | uatec.. thats because thats what mkfs.ext3 does...lol. It creates an ext3 on the disk | 19:12 |
| Goldline | but can i switch back to dos mode back and forth - thats what i want switch between the desktop / server edition with one simple command | 19:12 |
| norbi | phillipsm: not sure how to enable roaming mode, if it isn't enabled by default then Its probably not, since i have not configured anything other than installing the driver for it | 19:12 |

It also doesn't automagically find the highest resolution (1920x1080) but gets to half that (960x540). This may be an underlying cause.

| Jezz | and does vmware server runs on it? | 19:20 |

| helper | grawity got u this mean +s for all users can see it this is the only benieft? | 19:23 |
| mzz | grawity: if it's setuid it'll run as root. You're probably thinking of some programs that are meant to be setuid root *dropping* privs. | 19:23 |
| phoenixz | I just reinstalled ubuntu and I have my old installation partition still available with the entire old installation. I mounted it in ~/old. I want to remove most of this partition with rm ~/old/bin ; rm ~/old/lib for example, but I know there are lots of symbolic links that point towards the REAL /bin and /lib.. How can I first (and safely) eliminate these symbolic links so that my new install will be safe? | 19:23 |

| gumpish | Is there a "best way" to clear out old kernel versions in /boot? Or should I just delete them with rm? | 19:24 |
| phillipsm | uatec... alright if you got past the point before than you should be in the clear... i had your exact problems b4 installing ubuntu and i fixed em by removing the partitions with my xp disk | 19:24 |
| phillipsm | uatec...good luck then | 19:24 |
| rangzy | I found it! rt-click on channel -> settings -> "hide join/part messages" | 19:24 |
| mzz | grawity: in practice many utilities that are only setuid because they need to do one particular thing drop their root privs after they're done with them. This needs app support. | 19:24 |
| norbi | phillipsm: under network tools I select wireless network interface (wlan0) it gives me information and statistics but nothing about roaming mode ... there are tabs for ping/trace/portscan etc. no luck | 19:24 |
| grawity | mzz: So it only applies to setgid? When I tried to write a setgid app, I had to call setregid(1234,1234) before doing anything. [it was owned by group 1234] | 19:25 |
| helper | mzz the benieft of setuid so all users can see this file or folder right ? | 19:25 |

| Tonygaspipe | let me try again, I recently installed ubuntu, i made my / partition too small and now im needing to make it larger. How do I go about doing this? | 19:41 |
| nmvictor | th0r:their is this instructions i was reading today in full circle magazine issue 15 pg 10/11/12 i think it will add to what the rest might give towards your problem | 19:41 |
| rangzy | Uatec, same prob here too. and yesterday although I had plugged in my headphones, the sound was coming from the lptp speakers instead ! | 19:41 |
| Uatec | rangzy, that happened to me before too, on my old laptop, never figured out how to fix that | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tonygaspipe For a novice that just installed, I would reinstall and repartition manually | 19:42 |
| radi82 | Tonygaspipe: Give gparted a shot. | 19:43 |
| tank-man | Tonygaspipe, do you have free space? | 19:43 |
| phillipsm | uatec try http://paste.ubuntu.com/175861/ | 19:43 |
| alfacat | jrib i already know that, I'm trying to determine what's the most economic laser printer for ubuntu based on printer toner prices and support provided | 19:43 |
| tank-man | free unpartitioned space | 19:43 |
| phillipsm | uatec type that in at the terminal | 19:43 |

| Bman_ | hi. I'm using Xchat-GNOME IRC Chat on Ubuntu. Does someone know how i can put it so I can see the list of people that are in the chan now? Because now I don't see a list on the right or left side.. | 19:43 |
| lampliter | is there any way to make usb audio in in ubuntu look like sb16? | 19:43 |
| nmvictor | Tonygaspipe: maybe bckup then delete your home partition,try what you want and then get you home partition first,but be carefull if you settle for this | 19:44 |
| x_link | Can somebody please help me? | 19:44 |
| mobi-sheep | Tonygaspipe: You'll have to run LiveCD. You can't partition the HDD you're actively using. | 19:44 |
| DGMurdockIII | throuh a ati all in wonder hd card and yes i have installed the driver allready | 19:44 |
| tank-man | Tonygaspipe, is the free space you created beside the root patition? | 19:44 |
| Tonygaspipe | i am aware... i was using live CD | 19:44 |
| nmvictor | **get your home partition back | 19:44 |
| alfacat | I found out that the cheapest tonners on stapples, are from samsung, just want to know if ther printer drivers work fine | 19:44 |
| Uatec | hmm, phillipsm it can't find alsamixer to install :( | 19:44 |

| Tonygaspipe | no it isnt beside the root and that is where i need it but i dont know how to move it there | 19:45 |

| DGMurdockIII | and how can i get rigt of the black bars on i see on my screen or make the screen as fill my lcd screen up | 19:45 |
| Uatec | there is however gnome-alsamixer | 19:45 |
| phillipsm | yeah that will work | 19:45 |
| mobi-sheep | Bman_: Use Xchat -- Forget Gnome-Xchat. | 19:45 |
| radi82 | Tonygaspipe: To enlarge another partition using the free-space you might have to move partitions around a bit so that the free-space is next to the partition to enlarge. | 19:45 |
| oOarthurOo | The guy in charge of alacarte sometimes hangs out here... is he in today? I found what I think is a bit of a show stopping bug causing all kinds of headaches on the forums | 19:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tonygaspipe pastebin your sudo fdisk -l for people to review | 19:45 |
| phillipsm | thats probably the gnome gui for it along with the package itself | 19:45 |
| Bman_ | ok thanks mobi-sheep | 19:45 |

| elad` | jag_, Elad is my first name. | 19:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tonygaspipe if you made free space on an extended and want it on a primary partiton it will be much more of an issue | 19:46 |
| nmvictor | Bman_: maybe you narrowed that window without knowing,trying dragging the sides of the window as if to widen it | 19:46 |

| mobi-sheep | Is it even possible to encrypt your entire drive and yet still maintain a separate partition for home? | 19:47 |
| shortlord | is there any command for apt-get that purges configuration files of uninstalled packages? | 19:47 |
| stew | shortlord: no, you have to either use "aptitude purge packagename" or "dpkg -P packagename" | 19:48 |
| mobi-sheep | shortlord: See "apt-get --help" It is thee. | 19:48 |
| Bman_ | mobi-sheep: How do I install it? Can't find it in Add/remove apps.. | 19:48 |
| stew | shortlord: don't bother with "apt-get --help" apt-get can't do it | 19:48 |
| Tonygaspipe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/175867/ | 19:48 |
| jag_ | elad_: NO . . lol I mean the COMMAND elad` . . .??? | 19:48 |
| elad` | I don't think there's such a command. | 19:48 |
| elad` | Anywhere. | 19:49 |
| mobi-sheep | Bman_: Run "aptitude search xchat" in the terminal. | 19:49 |
| mobi-sheep | Bman_: Are you relatively new to linux? | 19:49 |
| Bman_ | yes mobi-sheep, but know the terminal so that won't be a prob :) | 19:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tonygaspipe that is gonna be a pain to add space to / assuming sda1 is root | 19:50 |
| mobi-sheep | Bman_: Okay. If you found a package you want to install. Do this "sudo aptitude install xchat" <--- That's an example. | 19:50 |
| Tonygaspipe | it is | 19:50 |
| kingair_six | heyo there everyon. have been having a bad issue with my Canon I 450 printer (driver Gutenprint for Canon I560 works a charm on all other ubuntu version). when i install the printer, it works until reboot and does not do anythin any more after. removing it and reinstalling it after plugging it to another usb port worked once - now it doesnt anymore. it's a pain - jaunty in general has been way more buggy for me than intrepid , | 19:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tonygaspipe to pull space down you would need to remove the entire extended partition add the space to sda1 and rebuild the extended | 19:51 |
| jag_ | shortlord_: apt-get --help - this might help .. | 19:51 |
| jag_ | shortlord_: apt-get --help , also u can try sudo aptitude ??- this might help .. | 19:51 |
| jag_ | elad_: ummm . . . well its on my ubuntu | 19:51 |
| Bman_ | thanks mobi-sheep ;) it said so in terminal itself so i already done it | 19:51 |
| rangzy | mobi-sheep, whats the difference between aptitude install and apt-get install ? | 19:51 |
| dtom2444 | why won't my Sony memory stick pro duo show up on Ubuntu 9.04? | 19:51 |
| mobi-sheep | rangzy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude | 19:52 |
| Bman_ | hi mobi-sheep | 19:52 |
| Tonygaspipe | hrnmmm | 19:52 |
| Bman_ | i'm on xchat now, thanks :) | 19:52 |
| mobi-sheep | Bman_: Look in the menu. :) | 19:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rangzy Ubuntus' apt-get is not the same as the apt-get from others, ours has most of the same features as aptitude | 19:52 |
| AgentHeX | how can i install Flash for firefox in Jaunty? i downloaded the .deb and forced the install (after installing libcurl3), and i've even installed flashplayer-install in synaptic. i still can't get any flash applets to run in firefox. what gives? | 19:52 |
| Bman_ | yeah now i see it cool :) | 19:52 |
| jag_ | elad_: I think its a script that previous admin wrote . . lol - his name was prob also elad . . | 19:52 |
| Tonygaspipe | so i had may as well just reinstall | 19:52 |
| === diego is now known as Guest37502 | ||
| radi82 | dtom2444: i'm almost sure MemmorySticks are not supported by the kernel. | 19:52 |
| narsil | how can i hack a wireles internet connection is there a generator | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tonygaspipe You can change what you have, make sda1 your /boot etc, but in general, reinstall | 19:53 |
| dtom2444 | lame | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | narsil We dont spport those activities in here | 19:53 |
| mib_6uv719 | narsil not sure if thats what this irc is for, but no, the only way to hack Wifi is if its wep, as WPA is amazingly hack proof | 19:53 |
| shortlord | stew, aptitude purge packagename does not what I want. I have some packages that were previously installed and left some .folders in my home, I would like to delete all of these | 19:53 |
| mib_6uv719 | i messed up my ubuntu desktop | 19:54 |
| rangzy | Jack_Sparrow, okay. | 19:54 |
| mib_6uv719 | i deleted the desktop folder from my home directory, and now somehow my desktop is my home directory | 19:54 |
| phillipsm | mib_6uv719: haven't we all? lol | 19:54 |
| Tonygaspipe | yea, dang, thats what i was trying not to have to do... at least i wont loose data... from my /home | 19:54 |
| stew | shortlord: none of the package management tools will ever touch files/directories in your home | 19:54 |
| oOarthurOo | Amaranth.. I just filed a new bug against alacarte, if you have a second could you see if you can confirm it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/378422 | 19:54 |
| mib_6uv719 | phillipsm LOL | 19:54 |
| mib_6uv719 | so any ideas | 19:54 |
| deany | WPA2 is even harder to crack :) | 19:54 |
| nmvictor | AgentHeX: would you please check if libflashplayer.so is in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 19:55 |
| shortlord | stew, so I have to delete them all manually? | 19:55 |
| Bman_ | mobi-sheep, works fine. only thing i need to find now is how to join some channels automaticcaly on another server as this one, + before joining a channel it must type /msg nickserv identify <my password> automaticcaly.. you know how this works? | 19:55 |
| mobi-sheep | shortlord: Manually remove the folder. -- That would work. | 19:55 |
| rangzy | mobi-sheep, thanks for that link. it says, the main difference is wrt the uninstallation part. but what about "apt-get autoremove" | 19:55 |
| mib_6uv719 | deany i use 256bit blofish encryption for my wifi | 19:55 |
| AgentHeX | narsil: check out aircrack-ng. you'll have to put your wireless adapter in monitor mode. if the network is WEP encrypted or has a weak WPA key, then you might be able to derive it from offline brute force on a packet stream, but if it's WPA and has a moderately complex password, it will take you a long time. | 19:55 |
| phillipsm | so when you browse through your directories it looks like /home/yourname/ and then there is no desktop? | 19:55 |
| mobi-sheep | rangzy: I don't know as I stick with aptitude, not apt-get. :) | 19:55 |
| phillipsm | mib_6 ^ | 19:55 |
| mobi-sheep | Bman_: It's in settings. XChat --> Network List. | 19:55 |
| mib_6uv719 | phillipsm | 19:55 |
| rangzy | mobi-sheep, oh. okay. thanks | 19:55 |
| mib_6uv719 | yes | 19:55 |
| stew | shortlord: yes | 19:55 |
| mib_6uv719 | i deleted it by mistake | 19:55 |
| AgentHeX | nmvictor: all i have is flashplugin-alternative.so | 19:56 |
| phillipsm | did you rm -f it? | 19:56 |
| mib_6uv719 | and now when i go to my home dir its my desktop | 19:56 |
| rangzy | and, apt-get autoremove <package_name> This command removes an installed package and dependencies. from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Removal%20commands | 19:56 |
| deany | wpa2 is 256bit isn it? well wpa2 and mac filtering is enough for me. | 19:56 |
| jag_ | shortlord_: doesnt the purge option wipe it ? or the clean ? | 19:56 |
| deany | hidden ssid of course. | 19:56 |
| AgentHeX | deany: you can spoof MAC addresses. they are more or less useless. get a random WPA key, and you'll be fine. | 19:57 |
| mib_6uv719 | phillips no i just deleted the desktop folder, that usually resides in my home folder | 19:57 |
| phillipsm | mib_6uv719: thats strange...you should try $ mkdir Desktop from the terminal when you are in the /home/yourname directory | 19:57 |
| rangzy | jag_, shortlord : are you discussing abt removing the config files alone, after uninstalling the pkgs ? | 19:57 |
| mib_6uv719 | tried that | 19:57 |
| Tonygaspipe | ok, second question... quite often, while typing swiftly, my cursor begins to jump around, doing strange things... moving text around, apparently pasting things that arent on the clipboard | 19:57 |
| deany | I said I use WPA.. | 19:57 |
| mib_6uv719 | but the folder desktop that i just made is then stored on my desktop | 19:57 |
| nmvictor | AgentHeX:thats the problem that file is in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ copy it to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins then restart your browser | 19:57 |
| deany | unless someones out to get me, im good... | 19:58 |
| Bman_ | thx mobi-sheep :) | 19:58 |
| mib_6uv719 | deany same lmao, my router has its own standard of sucurity lmao | 19:58 |
| AgentHeX | deany: yes, and you also said you use a MAC address as authentication. i wouldn't bother with MAC filtering. it's useless. WPA/2 alone should suffice. | 19:58 |
| radi82 | Tonygaspipe: Are you on a notebook wiht a touchpad? | 19:58 |
| phillipsm | o wow...I'm not sure what to do about that...when you save something on the actual desktop and browse to the folder in a terminal is it in the desktop folder or the home one? | 19:58 |
| gpled | how do you take a screen shot? | 19:58 |
| mib_6uv719 | AgentHeX wouldnt mind telling me how to spoof mac address | 19:58 |
| Tonygaspipe | i am indeed, and no, im not bumping the touchpad lol i make sure of it. | 19:59 |
| mib_6uv719 | gpled, press print screen.... | 19:59 |
| rangzy | Tonygaspipe, same thing with my HP DV5 laptop too. I switch-off the trackpad while using ubuntu | 19:59 |
| mobi-sheep | gpled: Use PrntScrn button. | 19:59 |
| AgentHeX | ifconfig eth0 hwaddr FE:ED:DE:AD:BE:EF | 19:59 |
| AgentHeX | mib_6uv719: man ifconfig if you need more info | 19:59 |
| aethelrick | has anyone here installed ubuntu on the second disk of a machine running windowson the first disk? I get a grub error 22 on boot and subsequent nothingness | 19:59 |
| radi82 | Tonygaspipe: Try disabling the emulation of clicks on the touchpad ;) worked out fine for me | 19:59 |
| kingair_six | anybody here having probs with their printer under jaunty too? its installed but doesnt do anything anymore. | 19:59 |
| mobi-sheep | !grub | aethelrick | 19:59 |
| ubottu | aethelrick: 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 | 19:59 |
| mib_6uv719 | AgentHeX thats great | 19:59 |
| shortlord | jag_, no, the purge did not remove the .folders, I guess I'll just remove them manually | 19:59 |
| shortlord | rangzy, yep | 20:00 |
| gpled | does it put the image in a file, or a clip board? | 20:00 |
| radi82 | Tonygaspipe: System -> Prefeences -> Mouse -> Touchpad | 20:00 |
| Tonygaspipe | how would i go about doing such a thing? | 20:00 |
| aethelrick | thanks | 20:00 |
| AgentHeX | mib_6uv719: actually, that might not be entirely accurate. google for the rest if it fails. | 20:00 |
| mib_6uv719 | gpled doesnt it pop up | 20:00 |
| mib_6uv719 | AgentHeX will do | 20:00 |
| tones | gpled: if you are on gnome or kde, it will ask you where to put it | 20:00 |
| gpled | hmmm | 20:00 |
| gpled | let me try it again | 20:00 |
| pmow | Q: I've poured over xorg docs, card-specific howtos, and still cannot for the life of me get SLI working. It also doesn't automagically find the highest resolution (1920x1080) but gets to half that (960x540). This may be an underlying cause. I'm running two 6600GTs on an HDTV, and the nvidia utility cant save to conf, either. I've tried the forums, google etc | 20:00 |
| radi82 | Tonygaspipe: one line above your post ;) | 20:00 |
| AgentHeX | mib_6uv719: i know people who preach using ip instead of ifconfig, but i'm not aware of a way to do MAC spoofing with ip. | 20:00 |

| AgentHeX | mib_6uv719: not a good idea if you plan to do anything useful in linux (or fix problems) | 20:01 |
| rangzy | radi82, thanks for that tip. I think it helps here | 20:01 |
| tones | narsil: extract it, configure it, make it, then make install it | 20:01 |
| kingair_six | narsil: read the instructions in the readme file first, see what you get | 20:01 |
| mib_6uv719 | AgentHeX I do use it when required, but i tend to use GUI for most things | 20:01 |
| mib_6uv719 | Phillipsm will try now, thanks! | 20:02 |

| phillipsm | np | 20:02 |
| gpled | doh. i wanted to show my menu selection: System -> Administration -> synaptic. but you can not have that open when pressing print screen | 20:02 |
| pmow | CLI is so much more precise tho <3 | 20:02 |
| mib_6uv719 | PhillipsM worked like a charm, thanks! | 20:02 |
| Tonygaspipe | though ive been using linux off and on for about 3 years now. im still a noob, obviously. I just prefer its security over windows... im not constantly having to clean up my machine... | 20:02 |
| gpled | any idea how to show a menu selection? | 20:02 |
| radi82 | rangzy: if you use an external mouse you could also completly disable the touchpad | 20:03 |
| phillipsm | good to hear | 20:03 |
| rangzy | radi82, yes thats what I do generally. but touchpad is more useful sometimes ! | 20:03 |

| pmow | beehive, I ran into an issue after upgrading to 9.04 with compiz turned on | 20:13 |
| mib_6uv719 | beehive what sort of problems? are you using forceware? | 20:13 |
| rangzy | thuglife222, I havent tried the add/remove tool. I use synaptic . I am sorry I am unable to help you in this | 20:13 |

| mib_6uv719 | beehive forceware = default nvidia drivers | 20:14 |
| thuglife222 | rangzy: but the problem is when i go to synaptic to install it | 20:14 |
| beehive | yes it's default drivers | 20:14 |
| thuglife222 | it returns in error | 20:14 |
| mib_6uv719 | beehive administration >>nVidia X server | 20:14 |
| AgentHeX | evidently, going to box.net (or any site that actually displays the applet without telling me to download flash) gave me the prompt to install. i installed gnash (because flashplayer-install was already installed), and it seems to have worked. thanks! | 20:14 |

| thuglife222 | rangzy: i have a question..... what is basically koffice vs openoffice? | 20:16 |

| AgentHeX | mobi-sheep: meh. at least i can play crap online. it doesn't bother me. i have both the adobe version and gnash. it'll be fine. | 20:16 |
| thuglife222 | rangzy: which one is java? open or koffice? | 20:17 |
| mib_6uv719 | thuglife oo is based on java | 20:17 |
| blixt | never mind the beep... is installing kde a good idea? | 20:17 |
| mib_6uv719 | blixt depends what you like, i love gnome so yeah | 20:17 |
| armence | For some reason, I do not hear sound on youtube videos, can anyone help me with that? | 20:17 |
| beehive | blixt kde is good but it depends on what you like | 20:17 |
| pmow | ...is buying Ford a good idea? Just depends on what ya like :P | 20:17 |
| rangzy | thuglife222, Openoffice uses java. but it works without java as well. I guess | 20:17 |
| thuglife222 | mib_6uv719: i see and its like open office don't offer you working with spread sheets like in windows excel offers | 20:17 |
| mobi-sheep | blixt: You're using Gnome. KDE is a different flavor. Some people like Gnome and some people like KDE. There also are XFCE, OpenBox, etc. | 20:18 |
| mib_6uv719 | for those people who are having sound issues in youtube, follow this guide http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox | 20:18 |
| thuglife222 | but i guess koffice offers all the features like ms office offers | 20:18 |
| beehive | rangzy not if your running Oo command line | 20:18 |
| mib_6uv719 | thuglife222 abiword is an excellent word alternative | 20:18 |
| pmow | OO does excel files | 20:18 |
| rangzy | huglife222, & I havent used koffice . I prefer gnome . so havent tried koffice | 20:18 |
| jag_ | anybody in capetown have the latest 64bit ubuntu that I can get copy of ? I cant download , no adsl at mo . . | 20:19 |
| jag_ | thuglife222: koffice comes with KDE desktop . . Oppenoffice is better tho | 20:19 |
| thuglife222 | mib_6uv719: but tell me does it offer excel as well or not? | 20:19 |
| blixt | ahh.. i c... so with ubuntu the gnome window system is what i am running | 20:19 |
| rangzy | beehive, what ? | 20:19 |
| pmow | lol | 20:19 |
| blixt | so kde would simply mess stuff upp i guess | 20:19 |
| rangzy | oh, is there an cmdline option for OOo ? | 20:19 |
| pmow | that would be great, getting someone to swing by with a dvd | 20:19 |
| mobi-sheep | jag_: Visit your buddy. Borrow their Cable Internet and download a copy. | 20:19 |

| mib_6uv719 | thuglife222, you want to access wins partition in ubuntu? | 20:23 |
| jag_ | thuglife222: KDE vs Gnome - they both come with different bundled apps ex. openoffice vs office , browsers , even the way hard drives are detected works diff . . | 20:23 |
| mib_6uv719 | armence umm wait there | 20:23 |

| jag_ | thuglife222: control panel | 21:12 |
| haris_ | mobi-sheep, i did thats what i used to do this new instllation | 21:12 |
| mobi-sheep | haris_: Before you burn it, do the md5sum to verify the ISO is 100% good. :) | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | haris_: it will be overwritten... when partitioning use the already created partitions | 21:13 |
| haris_ | erUSUL, can i just deleted the old instllation using gparted... | 21:13 |

| jag_ | thuglife222: also note : File > change device - u might have to play around and look for other device name | 21:13 |
| haris_ | erUSUL, sorry i meant cant i get the current new installation to use that unpartitioned space? | 21:13 |
| erUSUL | haris_: that'0s the point i'm trying to make you do not need new partitions you can use the existing ones | 21:13 |
| etb | where does nautilus have its automount settings? | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | haris_: or you can delete all ubuntu partitions and tell the installer to use the free space | 21:14 |
| thuglife222 | jag_: to correct yew... if you mute ever thing then how will you listen to your voice | 21:14 |
| mobi-sheep | haris_: Relating to erUSUL's answer -- Did you backup everything you want to keep? | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | etb: in Edit>Preferences | 21:14 |
| pmow | etb, I'm interested also....been editing fstab and doing mount -a =) | 21:14 |

| zamba | the system wide locale, that is | 21:39 |
| thuglife222 | Socah: when i download the script to the desktop | 21:39 |
| mobi-sheep | edi_99: Sorry. Although I don't know if you should have "Test if length is 2 then do return the value" --> Since everything else are higher than 2. I suppose you might want to think more simple, to find a loop code that'll solve everything, including the length of 2. Just a thought. Keep trying and take breaks. The answer will be right there in your eye eventually. :) | 21:40 |
| hoymkot | Hi | 21:40 |

| thuglife222 | when in termianl i run --> chmod 755 ~/alsa_setup.sh | 21:41 |

| thuglife222 | Socah: it gives back this -- > chmod: cannot access `/home/jalal/alsa_setup.sh': No such file or directory | 21:41 |
| Socah | thuglife222, then run sudo chmod 755 | 21:41 |

| yoyit2 | raylu the entire code tutorial on that site | 22:24 |
| Trojaneyez | raylu, then how would xorg.conf know that there are dual display's ? the display's need to be defined in xorg.conf | 22:25 |
| h4ll0ck | mikeyg: nobody knows the reason.. | 22:25 |
| raylu | yoyit2: ...ok, so you mean that the first command didn't work? | 22:25 |
| raylu | Trojaneyez: no they don't. see xrandr, for example | 22:25 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, you were saying before raylu chirped in ? | 22:25 |
| h4ll0ck | mikeyg: i hate the hdds... lol | 22:25 |
| ralmar | How do I know what kernel im using? Thanks | 22:25 |
| winterelf | hi all, i need help please. i ran kubuntu and geting troble in the booting, when i choose at "grub" for any kernal it starts loading my system (kubuntu) and than after 20 sec it's just freeze without doing nothing... just stuck on the screen with th name kubuntu and the blue scroll beneath it freeze too... any1? | 22:25 |
| Trojaneyez | Stargazer can you move just your mouse pointer to the right or left ( depending on your screen arrangement ) | 22:26 |
| mikeyg | h4ll0ck: lol same.. solid state is coming soon :) | 22:26 |
| ejv | winterelf: uname -ra | 22:26 |
| yoyit2 | raylu correct | 22:26 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, i can. | 22:26 |
| ejv | errr ralmar, uname -ra | 22:26 |
| ejv | ignore me winterelf | 22:26 |
| winterelf | lol | 22:26 |
| raylu | yoyit2: i highly doubt you don't have apt-get or sudo. what command did you actually try to run? | 22:26 |
| h4ll0ck | mikeyg: yes... the best alternative | 22:26 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, i can navigate my pointer to either screen except when dragging a window. | 22:26 |
| winterelf | i have no idead what's uname-ra means | 22:26 |
| yoyit2 | raylu i copied and pasted the code into terminal | 22:27 |
| system404 | hey is there any way to give grub a prettier more graphical interface | 22:27 |
| raylu | yoyit2: ok, could you copy and paste the line that didn't work here? | 22:27 |
| yoyit2 | raylu im using jaunty if that makes any different | 22:27 |
| yoyit2 | raylu if you go on that page you sent me, it shows all the code, i tried all of them | 22:28 |
| system404 | hey is there any way to give grub a prettier more graphical interface | 22:28 |
| raylu | yoyit2: but all of it works. since it doesn't, you screwed up, which is why i'm asking you to paste the first line that failed here | 22:28 |
| dest | winterelf, "kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" and remove the parameter "splash" on the line where there is your kernel. Then when you'll boot, you won't have the kubuntu logo and progress bar. Instead, you'll see text and you'll be able to know what's wrong. | 22:28 |
| niblets_ | linux noob here, anyone want to talk to me about home networking with a one linux machine and one windoze machine? | 22:28 |
| ejv | winterelf: it's a command you can type into a terminal, to output the kernel in use, among other system information | 22:28 |
| raylu | dest: removing quiet helps too | 22:28 |
| system404 | hey is there any way to give grub a prettier more graphical interface | 22:29 |
| ejv | system404: why? lol | 22:29 |
| raylu | !repeat | system404 | 22:29 |
| ubottu | system404: 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 | 22:29 |
| winterelf | dest: do i need the live cd for this? | 22:29 |
| h4ll0ck | who is the op¿? | 22:29 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, any ideas? | 22:29 |
| system404 | cause it looks plain and boring with just the lines for selection id like a more GUI | 22:29 |
| system404 | is it possible | 22:30 |
| Trojaneyez | Stargazer, so when draggin the window it just stop's you at the screen border? .. I'm trying to get one of my test systems to replicate this .. botch monitor's are same resolution right ? | 22:30 |
| ejv | lol | 22:30 |
| ejv | it's a BOOTLOADER | 22:30 |
| ewan_ | wo kann man unter Kde nach wlan netzen suchen? | 22:30 |
| yoyit2 | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | 22:30 |
| yoyit2 | raylu | 22:30 |
| ejv | who cares | 22:30 |
| ejv | lol | 22:30 |
| FloodBot1 | ejv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:30 |
| niblets_ | system404, change the time grub gives to select a kernel, thereby, making it disappear quicker........... | 22:30 |
| winterelf | ejv: do i? :) | 22:30 |
| raylu | yoyit2: you didn't read the sentence above that | 22:30 |
| Neconide | Setting up nessusd (2.2.10-3) ... | 22:30 |
| Neconide | update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/nessusd: file does not exist | 22:30 |
| Neconide | dpkg: error processing nessusd (--configure): | 22:30 |
| Neconide | subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 22:30 |
| system404 | no im dual booting | 22:30 |
| Neconide | Errors were encountered while processing: | 22:30 |
| FloodBot1 | Neconide: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:30 |
| Neconide | nessusd | 22:30 |
| raylu | yoyit2: that wasn't meant to be pasted into your terminal | 22:30 |
| system404 | so would like a graphical selection | 22:30 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, both monitors are not the same resolution but i do resize the window before dragging it. | 22:30 |
| yoyit2 | raylu what should i do then? | 22:30 |
| niblets_ | then you need something besides grub.......... | 22:30 |
| raylu | system404: you can set a splashimage in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:31 |
| phantomcircuit | I'm on 9.04 and my microsoft bluetooth mouse isnt working | 22:31 |
| Neconide | any ideas as to why it's not there | 22:31 |
| system404 | wat options are there instead of grub | 22:31 |
| niblets_ | there are other bootloaders out there besides grub, but let me just say, good luck | 22:31 |
| raylu | yoyit2: you should do what it says. read the sentence above the line you pasted | 22:31 |
| phantomcircuit | it appears to work but it disconnects immediately after connecting | 22:31 |
| winterelf | ok people , i'll try it and if ther's any problam i'll be right back :O :) | 22:31 |
| dest | winterelf, yes indeed. Or you could try to boot in the recovery mode and edit the file from there with nano or vim or something else | 22:31 |
| Trojaneyez | Stargazer hmm | 22:31 |
| system404 | where will i find some good splash images for grub | 22:31 |
| Neconide | Can someone help me with an apt-get install issue? | 22:31 |
| yoyit2 | raylu ok, but how do i add the code to /etc/apt/sources.list? | 22:31 |
| phantomcircuit | system404, just ask | 22:31 |
| phantomcircuit | er | 22:32 |
| phantomcircuit | Neconide, just ask | 22:32 |
| ejv | lol @ people wanting to beautify a bootloader, notwithstanding the fact that the kernel image isn't even loaded into memory yet.... lmfao | 22:32 |
| raylu | yoyit2: with a text editor. alt+f2, gksu gedit | 22:32 |
| system404 | phantomcircuit: i did ask | 22:32 |
| Neconide | Anyone have any ideas as to why nessusd was not in init.d? http://pastebin.com/m20060c25 | 22:32 |
| Trojaneyez | Stargazer, pastebin your xorg.conf please ? | 22:32 |
| phantomcircuit | system404, yeah wrong person | 22:32 |
| niblets_ | instead of grub there is lilo, and i forget what else, but im not sure if any of them are gui | 22:32 |
| system404 | ah ok | 22:32 |
| raylu | Neconide: no, but update-rc.d may help | 22:33 |
| Joeseph | I was in the middle of installing libqt4-dev when the downloading stopped. What should I do? | 22:33 |
| Dantix | hi, I run tsclient in full screen mode and I don't know how switch to other applications nor how to minimize the full screened TS session, anybody can help me? | 22:33 |
| raylu | niblets_: lilo is not | 22:33 |
| system404 | anyone else know of a GUI alternative to grub | 22:33 |
| raylu | niblets_, system404: grub2 is prettier, but undocumented | 22:33 |
| raylu | system404: read what ejv said | 22:33 |
| system404 | i have grub2 | 22:33 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, it's been a while since i've used ubuntu deeply, where is x.org located? | 22:33 |
| Dantix | besides, I'm using netbook-launcher | 22:33 |
| she_dyed | system404, used splash? | 22:34 |
| raylu | Stargazer, Trojaneyez: the new X doesn't need an xorg.conf | 22:34 |
| she_dyed | system404, its still grub | 22:34 |
| pdtpatrick | Stargazer: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:34 |
| system404 | no i dont know how to | 22:34 |
| yoyit2 | raylu so i open that file then add the code to it, or do i replace the file with this one? | 22:34 |
| dest | raylu, yes you're right. | 22:34 |
| system404 | i bn using linux for 2 days im a nooooooooooob to the max | 22:34 |
| niblets_ | i dont even see what the problem with grub is, i changed my default time allowed to pick an option to 1 second.so it shows up, then disappears, unless you are watching it, you dont even notice it | 22:34 |
| raylu | yoyit2: no, absolutely not | 22:34 |
| Neconide | raylu: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/nessusd: file does not exist | 22:34 |
| system404 | niblets i dual boot so need longer to choose which os i wana run | 22:35 |
| ejv | seriously people, think for a second, how can a gui, with video and mouse i/o implementation possibly be used before the kernel is loaded... think think think. what you're asking is ridiculous. | 22:35 |
| raylu | Neconide: er.. that's not how you use update-rc.d try --help or man | 22:35 |
| yoyit2 | raylu so how do i add it ? | 22:35 |
| raylu | yoyit2: copy paste? | 22:35 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, http://pastebin.com/m43316333 | 22:35 |
| Neconide | raylu: That's not a command, that's a response. | 22:35 |
| raylu | yoyit2: or do you mean where? | 22:35 |
| raylu | Neconide: oh. what was the command? | 22:35 |
| yoyit2 | raylu yeah, so i open that file and then were do i put the code? | 22:35 |
| niblets_ | im pretty sure you are out of luck system, i know there are alternatives to grub, but i dont think they are gui | 22:35 |
| presshere | hi ! i`m searching for a c compiler that work on linux but compiles executables that works on windows? is there anything? | 22:36 |
| system404 | so how to put a splash image onto grub then | 22:36 |
| raylu | yoyit2: anywhere, as long as it's on its own line. preferably at the very top or the very bottom | 22:36 |
| Neconide | raylu: If I type update-rc.d nessusd <anything> it gives me the error | 22:36 |
| Myrtti | ejv: please mind your language here... | 22:36 |
| raylu | presshere: "cross-compiling" is the keyword you want to search for. be prepared for pain | 22:36 |
| niblets_ | system_404: | 22:36 |
| ejv | Myrtti: pardon? | 22:36 |
| niblets_ | http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/ | 22:36 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | does anyone know an FTP client for the commandline which works kinda like norton commander? | 22:36 |
| raylu | Neconide: i may be confusing it with rc-update | 22:37 |
| Dantix | hi, I run tsclient in full screen mode and I don't know how switch to other applications nor how to minimize the full screened TS session, anybody can help me? | 22:37 |
| raylu | Neconide: wait | 22:37 |
| she_dyed | there! system404 niblets has the link | 22:37 |
| Neconide | raylu: rc-update isn't a command | 22:37 |
| Myrtti | ejv: that includes acronyms containing obfuscated swearing | 22:37 |
| raylu | Neconide: you're not trying to add nessusd to your rc dirctories... | 22:37 |
| ejv | niblets_: at least he's asking something doable this time | 22:37 |
| niblets_ | lol | 22:37 |
| ejv | heh | 22:37 |
| raylu | Neconide: you're missing the init script itself... heh | 22:37 |
| piet_ | anyone know why the gamesurge server is not in the servers list? | 22:37 |
| niblets_ | did you get the link system? | 22:37 |
| Neconide | raylu: I guess so. | 22:37 |
| ejv | Myrtti: ahhhhh k | 22:37 |
| raylu | Neconide: oops. i'd try reintsalling nessus, then | 22:37 |
| ejv | i forget freenode aint the wild wild west sometimes | 22:38 |
| ejv | ;) | 22:38 |
| Neconide | raylu: sigh... | 22:38 |
| yoyit2 | raylu so i saved the file then i went to terminal and entered the next part of code sudo apt-get install amarok-kde3 | 22:38 |
| Neconide | raylu: You do know that nessus and the nessus daemon are completely different applications, correct? | 22:38 |
| yoyit2 | raylu it says E: coudn't find package amarok -kde3 | 22:38 |
| raylu | Neconide: yes... | 22:39 |
| Neconide | raylu: So why would reinstalling nessus drop nessusd into init.d | 22:39 |
| raylu | yoyit2: apt-get update | 22:39 |
| yoyit2 | daniel@daniel-u9:~$ apt-get update | 22:40 |
| yoyit2 | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 22:40 |
| yoyit2 | E: Unable to lock the list directory | 22:40 |
| yoyit2 | raylu | 22:40 |
| raylu | Neconide: it wouldn't. i meant "nessus" the application. the package name is "nessusd." seeing as how you know this too, you should have been able to figure that you really need to reinstall the package "nessud" | 22:40 |
| FloodBot1 | yoyit2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:40 |
| dedeye | where's me fekkin lager? | 22:40 |
| niblets_ | now, anyone want to talk to me about networking with a linux machine and a windoze machine? | 22:40 |
| dedeye | niblets_: gibblets? | 22:40 |
| raylu | yoyit2: you will need sudo in front of that command? | 22:40 |
| niblets_ | ? | 22:40 |
| === nick is now known as Guest11562 | ||
| Neconide | raylu: I get the feeling you have no idea what you're talking about. Nessusd is required to be in init.d to be able to install it in the first place. | 22:40 |
| Guest11562 | Why can't I start gnome-volume-manager using metacity as a wm? | 22:40 |
| chemikalz | i have compizz running and everything, but how do i get my yakono_colors>v1.1.tar.gz to work? | 22:40 |
| raylu | Neconide: that's impossible | 22:41 |
| dedeye | Guest11562: i have some gnomes in my basement... | 22:41 |
| raylu | Neconide: why would everyone have an init script for nessus before installing it? | 22:41 |
| niblets_ | gnome is ftl................. | 22:41 |
| * ejv smacks niblets_ for bein a troll | 22:41 | |
| ejv | :p | 22:41 |
| niblets_ | not troll......... i dont use it. i use openbox | 22:41 |
| ejv | :p | 22:41 |
| Neconide | raylu: I don't know, but my pastebin link clearly stated that I needed nessusd in init.d in order to install it. | 22:41 |
| lakis1982 | hello.. i have installed a program called frostwire with gdebi installer .... but the program gives me always fatal error and i want to remove it ... how can i remove it now from computer ???? please help | 22:42 |
| raylu | Neconide: no, that's during the configuration process | 22:42 |
| raylu | Neconide: it expected it to be there because unpacking should have placed a nessusd script there | 22:42 |
| dest | lakis1982, sudo dpkg -r program | 22:42 |
| niblets_ | i actually use crunchbang, not an ubuntu install | 22:42 |
| Neconide | raylu: Which is part of the installation process. :) | 22:42 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez: anything yet ? | 22:42 |
| somnoliento | Q: I left a guest in my house with a "guest" session; he closed the session, how can he log back in as guest? (jaunty) | 22:42 |
| niblets_ | its so much better, its not even funny | 22:42 |
| lakis1982 | how should i type the program ? frostwire ?? | 22:42 |
| raylu | Neconide: the part that comes after unpacking, which should have placed a nessusd init script | 22:42 |
| ejv | yes frostwire | 22:42 |
| Marfi | somnoliento: If it doesn't have a password, should be able to just log back in | 22:42 |
| ejv | dpkg -r frostwire | 22:43 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | okay this is annoying, apparantly there are 2 of me here but I only started irssi once.... | 22:43 |
| somnoliento | Marfi: Should he type "guest" as login? | 22:43 |
| Marfi | Iceman_B1SSH: Screen? Didn't exit the shell? | 22:43 |
| Marfi | somnoliento: Yes | 22:43 |
| juxbox | hi | 22:43 |
| Marfi | Yar juxbox | 22:43 |
| Neconide | raylu: The whole process is the installation process, not installation. | 22:43 |

| chazco | Hi.. what precautions should be taken when install drivers from external sources? | 22:43 |
| raylu | Neconide: ...ok? | 22:43 |
| Neconide | raylu: process implies that more than one things need to be done. | 22:43 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | Marfi: no idea, I made a few tweaks to my screenrc, one of the windows should start irssi | 22:44 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | and I defined only 1 connection to freenode so, I dunno | 22:44 |
| Neconide | raylu: Well you're trying to argue with me that unpacking/configuration is not part of the installation process. lol | 22:44 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez ? | 22:44 |
| Trojaneyez | Stargazer, Sorry , I was doing a bit of reading touching up on xorg.conf config's... had to dust off a book ~ I don't see anything that should be stopping you from doing this.. just out of pure pure pure curiosity, drag the window the opposite direction from where the LCD is , see if your #0 #1 are wrong ~ | 22:44 |
| raylu | Neconide: no i'm not | 22:44 |
| nrg | i am trying to start gnome-volume-manager under metacity in 8.04 and it exits immediately with 0 | 22:44 |
| Marfi | Iceman_B1SSH: Gotcha. I know for me if I ctrl X or c irssi, it won't completely exit some times | 22:44 |
| raylu | Neconide: i'm pointing out that, even though it's part of the process, my point stands | 22:44 |
| dest | lakis1982, you go in the directory where you have the .deb. In there, you type "sudo dpkg -r " and then you start writing the program name and you finish by pressing ALT. It will complete correctly the program name. Then you press enter, type the password and you're done. | 22:44 |
| bouncing | very time I ssh in, a server of mine keeps adding me to deny.hosts and I have no idea why. Any ideas? | 22:44 |

| Iceman_B1SSH | Marfi: k. its weird, ps aux | grep -i irssi only shows 1 process(and the ps command) | 22:45 |
| davide_ | ciao | 22:45 |
| bouncing | Marfi: I have an account. I can login fine. | 22:45 |
| niblets_ | off to another channel, since im finding no help here. thanks peeps | 22:45 |
| Marfi | Iceman_B1SSH: It could have exited, and just needs a min or 2 for freenode to kick it | 22:45 |
| bouncing | Marfi: Just once though. After my first login, it adds me to hosts.deny | 22:45 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, nope. I know my other monitor is digitally positioned correctly because i can move my mouse in that direction and it appears in the next monitor. | 22:45 |
| Marfi | jyg: Yes | 22:45 |
| Neconide | raylu: and my point stands, even after reinstalling nessus and nessusd multiple times nessusd is not dropped into init.d | 22:45 |

| Neconide | raylu: Well I might want to point out I have an AMDx64 processor. | 22:47 |
| raylu | dest: heh. i didn't see the quit, but it could have been just a disconnect | 22:47 |
| Stargazer | Trojaneyez, out curiosity... should my pointer be left behind on one monitor while another pointer is on the other? | 22:47 |
| Neconide | raylu: so i386 is irrelevant | 22:47 |

| Trojaneyez | Stargazer, no | 22:47 |
| Neconide | raylu: but anyhow, it's not trying to drop it in init.d, it's looking for it. | 22:47 |
| dest | raylu, my bad. He did say "thanks i removed it" and then he left | 22:47 |
| raylu | Neconide: but are you on the amd64 version? it's there too, of course http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/amd64/nessusd/filelist | 22:47 |

| pdtpatrick | Iceman_B1SSH: run ps -ef | grep irssi | grep -v grep | 22:47 |

| Neconide | raylu: Of course, but I'm just pointing out that I'm not a fan of intel. | 22:47 |
| evilGUI | nrg: Do I need to do anything else to be secure? | 22:48 |
| Neconide | raylu: It's not part of the package. lol | 22:48 |
| raylu | Neconide: it's the second file. | 22:48 |
| Neconide | raylu: Whether that list says it or not it's not trying to drop it in init.d | 22:48 |
| street1 | How do I go to irc mibbit | 22:48 |
| nrg | evilGUI: you don't want to copy all of the certs from the server | 22:48 |
| raylu | Neconide: use dpkg to unpack the deb =\ | 22:48 |
| Marfi | Iceman_B1SSH: Did you log in with another computer? /who of iceman gives n=Iceman@host-85-201-18-61.brutele.be | 22:48 |
| Marfi | Iceman_B1SSH: Which is different from yours | 22:48 |
| nrg | evilGUI: just the one that was generated fr your system | 22:48 |
| raylu | Neconide: perhaps aptitude clean will help too | 22:48 |
| evilGUI | nrg: I just used the ones my VPN provider gave me. | 22:48 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | no | 22:48 |
| yoyit2 | raylu thx it worked.. i guess i need to just read more carfully | 22:48 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | im Iceman_B|ssh | 22:49 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | usually | 22:49 |
| Dantix | Marfi: is catched inside de TS session | 22:49 |
| Neconide | raylu: I've tried both. | 22:49 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | same host | 22:49 |
| raylu | yoyit2: actually, apt-get update wasn't in that tutorial, so it's partially their fault | 22:49 |
| Neconide | raylu: I'm just going to head over to the ubuntu IRC | 22:49 |
| Neconide | raylu: THanks though | 22:49 |
| nrg | evilGUI: are you running OpenVPN as root? | 22:49 |
| raylu | Neconide: this is the ubunt uirc.. | 22:49 |
| raylu | Neconide: *ubuntu irc | 22:49 |
| evilGUI | nrg: Yes. | 22:49 |
| Neconide | raylu: The ubuntu irc server | 22:49 |
| raylu | Neconide: and if you've extracted the nessusd init script from the deb, it should be fine | 22:49 |
| safruhani | i couldn't start audocious | 22:49 |
| raylu | Neconide: that's a redirect | 22:49 |
| nrg | evilGUI: if so, you want to make sure those certs are only readable by root:root | 22:50 |
| yoyit2 | raylu actually it is, just not in the "code" box, its right by the /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:50 |
| evilGUI | nrg: What do you mean by generated? can I just use the keys provided by my VPN provider? | 22:50 |
| raylu | Neconide: host irc.ubuntu.com: irc.ubuntu.com is an alias for chat.freenode.net. | 22:50 |
| Neconide | raylu: irc.ubuntudev.org? lol | 22:50 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | weird, well, no matter | 22:50 |

| chazco | Hi.. what precautions should be taken when installing drivers from external sources? | 22:50 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | oh | 22:50 |
| raylu | Neconide: yoyit2 ah | 22:50 |
| evilGUI | nrg: Alright, I'll chown those. | 22:50 |
| safruhani | do u use audacious on 9.4? | 22:50 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | how do I upgrade to 9.04 ? | 22:50 |
| raylu | er...whoops | 22:50 |
| nrg | evilGUI: yes, i thought maybe you configured your only server as well | 22:50 |
| Neconide | raylu: but yeah. Thanks for the help. | 22:50 |
| nrg | evilGUI: yeah, chown and chmod them | 22:50 |
| evilGUI | nrg: ok cool, so that's all there is to it? | 22:50 |
| street1 | I would like to understand how I use Xchat and go to irc.mibbit | 22:51 |
| evilGUI | nrg: Thanks. | 22:51 |
| nrg | evilGUI: that should be enough | 22:51 |
| funkyHat | Iceman_B1SSH: open system > administration > software sources, and on the updates tab, change 'show new distribution releases' to 'normal releases' | 22:51 |
| funkyHat | Iceman_B1SSH: then open update manager | 22:52 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | funkyHat: sorry, I only have a CLI :) | 22:52 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | forgot to mention -_- | 22:52 |
| funkyHat | Iceman_B1SSH: ah, in that case, do-release-upgrade | 22:52 |
| ceekay | anyone have a recommendation for a deb proxy? a quick search turns up apt-proxy apt-cacher and debproxy is there one that has emerged as the defacto standard? | 22:52 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | with apt-get? or just "sudo do-release-upgrade" ? | 22:53 |
| digitaloktay | hi | 22:53 |
| funkyHat | Iceman_B1SSH: just sudo do-release-upgrade | 22:53 |
| digitaloktay | #ubuntu | 22:53 |
| paladin | I had a usb modem but changed to an ethernet router. Should I get rid of the pppoatm driver or is it still needed? | 22:53 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | okay thanks | 22:53 |
| Iceman_B1SSH | bbl | 22:53 |
| digitaloktay | can anyone paste a ext4 line from fstab? | 22:53 |
| digitaloktay | !ext4 | 22:53 |

| Hutchewon | Hello all, Anyone know how I can change my panel color, it is stuck on black. | 22:53 |
| funkyHat | ceekay: well going by the "which one I've heard of" rule, I'd say apt-proxy is the defacto standard | 22:53 |
| giles | hi everyone i have messed up my grub installation and i'm trying to restore it by booting from the 9.04 alternative cd but when i select (hd0) to restore grub to it spits ut a fatal error. anyone had any experience with this? | 22:54 |
| ceekay | funkyHat: thx :) | 22:54 |
| LjL | ceekay: we also have a documentation page about it at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy | 22:54 |
| nrg | dmesg | 22:54 |
| she_dyed | paladin, those will be ignored imo you can leave them | 22:54 |
| funkyHat | Hutchewon: right click on the panel and click properties, then on the background tab choose 'none', or if that's already selected change it to solid colour and pick a colour | 22:54 |
| ceekay | LjL: :D thx | 22:55 |
| thebloggu | i have a dual monitor (with defferent resolutions between them) setup with twinview. however i just want the second monitor to be an auxiliary whenever i need and not be actual extended workspace from the first. can someone help me ? | 22:55 |
| nrg | dmesg | 22:55 |
| giles | Hutchewon: if the normal way doesn't work you might have more success removing that panel and starting with a new one | 22:55 |
| LjL | ceekay: but then again we have one about apt-cacher too ;) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server | 22:55 |
| paladin | she_dyed: they are loaded at each boot and waste time. How can I disable them? | 22:55 |
| Hutchewon | Thanks, I tried that just changed part of it. The rest stayed black. | 22:55 |
| ceekay | LjL: :) | 22:55 |
| system404 | anyone know a good app to hide or mask my IP | 22:56 |
| LjL | ceekay: you've missed "approx", by the way. | 22:56 |
| funkyHat | Hutchewon: have you got some weird panel apps loaded that could be causing that? | 22:56 |
| lord_hypnos | somebody know of a good journal/diary programm for linux? | 22:57 |
| system404 | anyone know a good app to hide or mask my IP | 22:57 |
| DGMurdockIII | please for the help me get sound people | 22:57 |
| DGMurdockIII | do not assume i now how to do somthing | 22:57 |
| kavurt | hi, my mic doesn't work on 9.04 | 22:57 |
| LjL | system404: you cannot simply "hide your IP", you need something that proxies you through another connection to achieve that. Tor is a possibility. | 22:57 |
| Hutchewon | I don't think so. Could Screenlets be the problem.I am using compiz and emerald. | 22:58 |
| giles | kavurt: what sort of computer? | 22:58 |
| system404 | LjL howd do i go about setting that up | 22:58 |
| kavurt | hp pavilion dv200 | 22:58 |
| giles | hi everyone i have messed up my grub installation and i'm trying to restore it by booting from the 9.04 alternative cd but when i select (hd0) to restore grub to it spits ut a fatal error. anyone had any experience with this? | 22:58 |
| LjL | system404: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR | 22:58 |
| system404 | thanks | 22:58 |
| LjL | system404: but keep in mind this sort of thing will intrinsically risk resulting in slowing down your connection. | 22:58 |
| funkyHat | DGMurdockIII: if you open up the gnome volume control window and click on preferences, then tick all of the boxes you see there, then go back to the main volume control window, make sure everything is unmuted, and look on the options and switches tabs and play with the settings there | 22:59 |
| kavurt | giles: but I have kubuntu 8.10 on the same computer. and mic is normal there. it's an hp pavilion dv2000 | 22:59 |
| DGMurdockIII | (funkyHat): i'll try that | 22:59 |
| Link23 | Hi, I've been trying to dual-boot ubuntu and windows on two different hard drives and I can't figure it out. Can somebody help? | 22:59 |
| giles | kavurt: i just thought you might have a netbook since most of them still have issues with the microphone | 23:00 |
| funkyHat | giles: can you pastebin the actual error? (!paste) | 23:00 |
| evilGUI | So how would I go about making a file only readable by root? I did sudo chown root:root anything else? | 23:00 |
| funkyHat | evilGUI: chmod 600 file | 23:00 |
| evilGUI | funkyHat: Thanks. | 23:00 |
| Slart | evilGUI: sudo chmod go-rw file | 23:01 |
| giles | funkyHat: no, but i am booting into the restore environment again so i will have it soon | 23:01 |
| Slart | evilGUI: bah.. same thing =) | 23:01 |
| giles | funkyhat: it was VERY generic though | 23:01 |
| obnox | raylu: ok, thanks for now. I didn't get to using the proper font yet, but well, I have a few more hints... :-) | 23:01 |
| funkyHat | giles: my first guess would be you didn't run grub using sudo | 23:01 |
| giles | funkyHat: i've been using the restore grub tool from the rescue mode of the alternate cd, i might try the command line sudo grub-install next, good idea? | 23:02 |
| jamescarr | randomly my mouse and keyboard have "issues". At a certain period, I can no longer alt+tab to anything, can't click outside of the active window, can't do much at all really | 23:02 |
| jamescarr | I always have to reboot | 23:02 |
| jamescarr | PLEASE HELP! | 23:02 |
| jamescarr | PLEASE! | 23:02 |
| jamescarr | I reboot 10 times a day | 23:03 |
| Slart | !helpme | jamescarr | 23:03 |
| ubottu | jamescarr: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 23:03 |
| jamescarr | Slart, sorry.. I'm desperate | 23:03 |
| jamescarr | it's frustrating | 23:03 |
| evilGUI | jamescarr: First of all explain your problem. | 23:03 |
| funkyHat | evilGUI: you could also make a /root/private, then just put files in there and only have to set permissions once | 23:03 |
| raylu | obnox: i'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing | 23:03 |
| jamescarr | I tried rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse | 23:03 |
| evilGUI | funkyHat: That's a good idea. | 23:03 |
| jamescarr | but it didnt fix the mouse problems | 23:03 |
| chazco | How save are the options in powetop on Ubuntu? for example, enable wifi power saving with echo 5 > /sys/bus.../powerlevel for an iwl3945 card | 23:03 |
| system404 | TOR is only available up to hard heron any alternative | 23:03 |
| obnox | raylu: bad :-) | 23:03 |
| obnox | raylu: the terminus font is utterly ugly :) | 23:03 |
| raylu | jamescarr: lsmod | grep psmouse after rmmod | 23:04 |
| raylu | obnox: that's what i thought of the xterm default :P | 23:04 |
| funkyHat | evilGUI: and even set up an encrypted private directory, because files that are only readable by root can still be read if someone boots from CD or using recovery mode | 23:04 |
| obnox | raylu: well it is a matter of taste | 23:04 |
| ceekay | LjL: looks like approx may be a good fit for what i want... found a decent (and somewhat recent) comparison of apt-proxy apt-cacher and approx at http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/plug-2008-05/msg00038.html | 23:04 |
| obnox | raylu: neither of us is alone... | 23:04 |
| Slart | jamescarr: if you really want help you have to give us information about your system.. right now you could be running ubuntu 3.1 on an old VAX machine and a hand crank for power | 23:04 |
| Slart | jamescarr: for all we know | 23:04 |
| jamescarr | running ubuntu 9 on a sony vaio laptop | 23:05 |
| raylu | Slart: i find mousewheels are better than handcranks | 23:05 |
| DGMurdockIII | (funkyHat): nope did not work | 23:05 |
| jamescarr | model is ... | 23:05 |
| jamescarr | pcg-6q1L | 23:05 |
| obnox | raylu: there is a tipp about activating Bitmap fonts selectively here: http://www.ubuntutips.net/node/14 | 23:05 |
| funkyHat | DGMurdockIII: what soundcard do you have? | 23:05 |
| Slart | jamescarr: what version of ubuntu..32bit or 64bit, server or desktop (or something else) | 23:05 |
| obnox | raylu: but it does not work | 23:05 |
| Slart | raylu: haha.. if only the computer could run on that power alone.. =) | 23:05 |
| jamescarr | 32 bit | 23:05 |
| Slart | jamescarr: wait wait.. put it all on ONE line.. | 23:06 |
| fragmonkee | well found out the hard way that a bad harddisk will foul up an install...who woulda thought -hah | 23:06 |
| obnox | raylu: when you are programming and looking at terminal 90% of the time you spent at your desktop, then the terminal font really starts to matter... | 23:06 |
| raylu | obnox: fc-cache afterwards? | 23:06 |
| obnox | raylu: did it | 23:06 |
| DGMurdockIII | (funkyHat): video card with HDMI ati all in wonder HD http://ati.amd.com/products/aiwhd/index.html | 23:06 |
| Slart | jamescarr: describe your problem, include your versions and computer info.. all in one line.. adding a "please" might also help | 23:06 |
| jamescarr | running ubuntu 9.04 32bit on a sony vaio laptop (pcg-6q1L) | 23:06 |
| Link23 | I'm having trouble dual-booting, I have two hd's with ubuntu and windows on them and I can't figure out how to set it up so that they will dual-boot. | 23:06 |
| raylu | obnox: i do spend a lot of time on the terminal :P | 23:06 |
| obnox | raylu: =) | 23:07 |
| evilGUI | jamescarr: Did this happen before 9.04? | 23:07 |
| jamescarr | at random times throughout the day, in gnome, I can no longer alt_tab to any windows, cant click on anything, etc | 23:07 |
| Slart | jamescarr: external mouse? or some kind of laptop mouse substitute | 23:07 |
| jamescarr | evilGUI, I didnt have linux on it before it | 23:07 |
| jamescarr | touchpad mouse | 23:07 |
| LjL | ceekay: if you decide for a favorite, please feel free to vote it in #Ubuntu-bots | 23:07 |
| jamescarr | they keys quit working though too... they only work on the active window | 23:07 |
| jamescarr | I can't do much else besides that | 23:07 |
| giles | hi everyone i have messed up my grub installation and i'm trying to restore it by booting from the 9.04 alternative cd but when i select (hd0) to restore grub to it spits ut a fatal error. anyone had any experience with this? cheers | 23:07 |
| Slart | jamescarr: if you boot from a live cd, do you get the same problems? | 23:07 |
| jamescarr | I cant alt+access menus | 23:07 |
| jamescarr | Slart, hard to say... sometimes it happens in 30 minutes, sometimes it happens after 5 hours | 23:08 |
| Sh3r1ff | Link23: reserve a small partition for /boot on the first disk, install windows and afterwards ubuntu | 23:08 |
| jamescarr | Slart, to be frank, if I put a liveCD in, I probably won't see it | 23:08 |
| jamescarr | it's random | 23:08 |
| chuck_ | DGMurdockIII, are you using the ati proprietary driver? | 23:08 |
| DGMurdockIII | yes | 23:08 |
| ce | hey | 23:09 |
| Slart | jamescarr: have a look at the file /var/log/syslog .. find the time of the latest instance when you had the problem.. do you see anything in the log around that time? anything that looks like "fatal error, keyboard going bananas" | 23:09 |
| jamescarr | Slart, ah ha! It says on like 58 "FATAL: keyboard going bananas" | 23:10 |
| jamescarr | :) | 23:10 |
| DGMurdockIII | (chuck_): yes | 23:10 |
| alex116 | I have a problem with name resolution. if I ping a local computer it pings a totally different computer although /etc/hosts has a correct entry. Does someone have an idea whats wrong? | 23:10 |
| * zenxr throws banana at jamescarr | 23:10 | |
| Slart | jamescarr: wonderful =).. you can pastebin the syslog from around that time.. that way we can see it too | 23:10 |
| Slart | !pastebin | jamescarr | 23:10 |
| ubottu | jamescarr: 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) | 23:10 |
| funkyHat | DGMurdockIII: right, so are you looking at the control panel for the right soundcard then? | 23:11 |
| zenxr | alex116, are you sure you're not pinging a computer behind your router? | 23:11 |
| funkyHat | I don't know anything about all-in-wonders, but if they do sound I would imagine they show up as a separate device to your onboard sound | 23:11 |
| DGMurdockIII | (funkyHat): there now option for in the ati pannel but i see it listen in the where you change the sound but there is no on that it a blank windows | 23:12 |
| Third3ye | So... | 23:12 |
| Link23 | Sh3r1ff: The thing is I have two hard drives, not one. one has windows and the other ubuntu. So I have to delete both of the OS's and partition the first disk just so I can dual-boot? | 23:12 |
| funkyHat | alex116: what subnet are you using for your local addresses? | 23:12 |
| alex116 | zensxr: I try to ping "froglet" and the output of the term is: "froglet.stumpfebiel.intern (67.215.65.132)"... when its actually 10.10.168.75 | 23:12 |
| alex116 | 10.10.168.0/24 | 23:12 |
| Third3ye | Can one initiate a Ubuntu install through network PXE install and install files from a USB? | 23:12 |
| === bk|away is now known as bk | ||
| jakub | how do I get openvz to work in Jaunty? | 23:12 |
| Sh3r1ff | Link23: the first partition on the first disk shoul be reserved for /boot | 23:12 |
| === apollo_ is now known as Abalidoth | ||
| alex116 | router is configured to use opendns and dnsmasq | 23:12 |
| chuck_ | DGMurdockIII, i tried that driver i never did get sound out of in jaunty 9.4 . hdmi sound works with the radeonhd driver | 23:12 |
| Slart | Third3ye: it would be convenient..I haven't heard of anyone doing it though | 23:13 |
| Sh3r1ff | Link23: you could try resizing | 23:13 |
| Third3ye | hmm | 23:13 |
| Third3ye | Slart: How about initiating using PXE and continuing using CD/DVD? | 23:13 |
| Slart | Third3ye: same there | 23:13 |
| Slart | Third3ye: I haven't heard of anyone installing using PXE, full stop =/ | 23:14 |
| Link23 | Sh3r1ff: so just create a small partition for /boot on the master? how small and what should I put on it? | 23:14 |
| DGMurdockIII | (chuck_): i just installed the one it told me to in the ubuntu hardware driver program i thnk it installed the wrong one | 23:14 |
| funkyHat | I've installed using PXE, just a regular network install though, no fancy USB stuff | 23:14 |
| mikejet | Hey, is there a way to add .TTF font file so I can use it in Gimp? | 23:14 |
| DGMurdockIII | (chuck_): how can i remove it and install the radeonhd drivers | 23:14 |
| Slart | Third3ye: ok, I'll have to correct that.. I've only heard of one person doing that =) | 23:14 |
| Sh3r1ff | Link23: 256mb is large enough, and when installing ubuntu put /boot on that partition | 23:14 |
| funkyHat | mikejet: put it in ~/.fonts | 23:15 |
| === flakeparadigm is now known as Tann | ||
| mikejet | funkyHat, Will i have to restart X? | 23:15 |
| Slart | mikejet: I think GIMP uses the regular fonts.. including ttf fonts | 23:15 |
| funkyHat | mikejet: no, just Gimp | 23:15 |
| snell | i tried to connect a flat screen samsung and now my computer no longer boots up. can someone help me? | 23:15 |

| === jay is now known as Guest65081 | ||
| zenxr | lol snell; either it's unplugged or you're screwed buddy | 23:16 |
| Slart | Third3ye, funkyHat : some weirdo in the irc channel ;) | 23:16 |
| funkyHat | snell: what do you mean by 'no longer boots up', does it get stuck somewhere in the middle of Ubuntu's boot, or just not start? | 23:16 |
| oOarthurOo | Hi... using Ubuntu Jaunty I'm trying to get the gnome-dictionary to use dictd, dictionaries on the localhost instead of looking them up. Following this guide here, but it's not working. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7310956#post7310956 | 23:16 |
| snell | funkyhat it gets stuck in the middle of booting up | 23:16 |
| Link23 | Ubuntu's already installed and I'm using it for this chat. So just delete 9.04 and re-install 8.04 with the /boot in the small partition? | 23:16 |
| snell | grub comes up fine, it loads a few things and then hangs | 23:16 |
| snell | no error message or anything | 23:17 |
| funkyHat | Third3ye: you asking about PXE boot installation? | 23:17 |
| zenxr | ah. | 23:17 |
| Doonz | Hey guys im running the new 9.04 server edition. The server become unresponsive. I cant ssh into it or anything. When i look at the monitor is got a bunch of info but i cant type anything | 23:17 |
| yoyit2 | amarok 1.4 how do i conect my iphone 3g?? | 23:17 |
| Doonz | the only fix i can do is to reboot the bloody thing but thats not a solution | 23:17 |
| DGMurdockIII | (chuck_): how can i remove it and install the radeonhd drivers | 23:17 |
| Third3ye | funkyHat: Yepp | 23:17 |
| giles | help, i'm in the recovery shell of the alternate cd and i can't use sudo | 23:17 |
| Slart | Doonz: anything in the logs? | 23:17 |
| Doonz | SLart what log would be helpful. | 23:17 |
| Sh3r1ff | Link23: you also may reinstall 9.04 ;) but yeah, put /boot in the small partition | 23:17 |
| zenxr | giles try su root instead | 23:17 |
| Slart | giles: when you're in the recovery shell you are already root | 23:17 |
| funkyHat | snell: can you press ctrl + alt + F1 after it's stuck? | 23:17 |
| giles | i see | 23:18 |
| snell | zenxr theres no unplugged about it, i have a laptop | 23:18 |
| Third3ye | A friend of mine wanted me to backup or possibly fix this laptop for his cousin. It's a school computer so the BIOS has a password and won't boot CDs. It's a goddamn pain | 23:18 |

| zenxr | snell, i just realized your issue | 23:21 |
| zenxr | it's stuck on the old screen resolution | 23:21 |
| chuck_ | DGMurdockIII, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD but keep in mind you will lose 3d acceleration if you have a r6xx or r7xx card, it is development and should be out soon i hope | 23:21 |
| dan | It appears like it's working, but all network connectivity ceases while I'm connected to the VPN, and resumes when I disconnect | 23:22 |
| dan | when I connect via the command-line, the VPN and my local wireless both work fine and route appropriately | 23:22 |
| snell | zenxr i dont get any error messages, it just flashes a few times and freezes. i can use virtual terminals tho | 23:22 |

| Scunizi | system404: what kind of vid card do you have? | 23:48 |
| system404 | intel | 23:49 |
| system404 | integrated | 23:49 |
| system404 | its a laptop | 23:49 |
| Scunizi | 945? | 23:49 |
| system404 | not sure | 23:49 |
| Yanick_ | she_dyed, it did mount two days ago, but now it won't anymore, how can I find why? | 23:49 |
| funkyHat | snell: what graphics card do you have, and which driver are you using? | 23:49 |
| ryanprior | system404: lshw | grep 945 maybe | 23:49 |
| snell | ati radeon | 23:49 |
| Scunizi | system404: intel is well supported but there were some issues with the 945 card I believe. | 23:50 |
| she_dyed | Yanick_, look at /var/log/messages they are dated so you can probably guess at around what time it decided to alter its behaviour | 23:50 |
| UntouchableMX | Hey guys | 23:50 |
| giles | funkyhat: my problem is here "# Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0,1)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines. " the computercannot find /boot/grub/stage1 on any drive except for the flash drive i have booted from | 23:50 |
| Megadrive | Hey Untouchable | 23:50 |
| Scunizi | system404: or lshw | grep intel | 23:50 |

| sysdoc | This maybe a tad off topic, but are there any system builders that that have preferences regarding SATA HD manufactures? U can pm me with you favs... | 23:51 |
| giles | funkyhat: i think what i need to do is copy the grub directory from my flash drive to my real /boot/, any idea how to mount the flash drive in shell | 23:51 |
| ubugtu | could anyone please tell me why my cursor is s l o w and hurkey-jerkey on full screen games? | 23:51 |
| Yanick_ | she_dyed, there doesn't seem to be any error in the logs | 23:52 |

| phillipsm | ubugtu: or if its a dec card your drivers might be messed up | 23:52 |
| she_dyed | Yanick_, the reported bug iis if you dont shutdown windows cleanly your ntfs will refuse to mount | 23:53 |
| funkyHat | giles: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/disc (or something like that, might have to create /media/disc), but don't copy everything, try just stage1, you don't want to overwrite your grub config | 23:53 |
| nerve_ | yeah that could be a problem | 23:53 |
| chuck_ | ubugtu, because your graphic card cannot handle the load | 23:53 |
| she_dyed | Yanick_, so it won't show an eror message in Linux | 23:53 |
| nerve_ | you need to get your drivers sorted out | 23:53 |
| giles | funkyhat, ok i will but i rebooted so it will take about 20 minutes to get back into recovery mode | 23:53 |
| unko | can someone please help me out? i just installed songbird on my jaunty x64 plateform and it won't let me run it. im getting this output in terminal: http://pastie.org/483425 | 23:53 |
| snell | funkyhat ati radeon x1200 graphics card in running hardy and gutsy-gutsy is the one with the issue but it used to work fine | 23:53 |
| ubugtu | chuck_, phillipsm: actually ive fixed it before by typing F2 then xkill, so i know its not the graphics card | 23:53 |
| phillipsm | ubugtu: what kind of graph card do you have? | 23:54 |
| Yanick_ | she_dyed, I have a windows xp machine right beside me, I connect the plug, it loads the drive. I disconnect (through the "safely disconnect the drive") and it disconnect. now I plug the thing on this computer... nothing | 23:54 |
| chuck_ | ubugtu, ok | 23:54 |
| Yanick_ | no error | 23:54 |
| ubugtu | phillipsm: nvidia | 23:54 |
| she_dyed | pw-toxic am partial to vim (shows tree if you omit the filename) but report that question but this time addressed to php coders maybe? | 23:54 |
| she_dyed | repost* | 23:54 |
| funkyHat | snell: upgrade to 8.04 | 23:54 |
| phillipsm | ubugtu: are you using the 180 driver or the 173 and which ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| Yanick_ | it says it's sdb: sdb1 but when I mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/MEDIA it says sdb1 is not recongnized | 23:54 |
| funkyHat | snell: 7.10 isn't supported any longer | 23:54 |
| she_dyed | Yanick_, i dont think it has to do with safely unplugging | 23:54 |
| system404 | so can anyone help me with the stuttering video issue | 23:54 |
| pw-toxic | she_dyed, well i'm just looking for a cool gnome code editor ;) | 23:55 |
| system404 | its not my hardware my hardware is way more than capable so must be a driver issue | 23:55 |
| ubugtu | phillipsm: the latest and 9.04. | 23:55 |
| Yanick_ | she_dyed, on Ubuntu 8.04, there was an error message about "dirty ntfs" and I used to force mount and it worked. but since I "safely disconnect" in windows XP, it always worked. but not anymore | 23:55 |
| phillipsm | ubugtu...and you are playing this game under wine? | 23:55 |
| Yanick_ | fdisk -l shows nothing | 23:56 |
| ubugtu | no its actually nexuiz | 23:56 |

| th0r | Yanick_: open a terminal, type 'tail -f /var/log/messages', then plug in the drive and watch the terminal...see what it says | 23:58 |
| sweetde | Scunizi: thx for the rec. does it matter if I use vbox 'ose' or any version to open vmdk images? | 23:58 |
| she_dyed | Yanick_, see if it works there | 23:58 |
| she_dyed | Yanick_, then go back to normal | 23:58 |
| Gourlis | better to have no effects :P like F16 :D | 23:58 |
| Megadrive | Oh btw so everyone knows I <3 Ubuntu. | 23:58 |

| giles | funkyhat, ok, so crazy development turns out when i tried to install grub on hd1 is turned my usb into a super grub disk, i tried repairing my grub install from the sgd but it just spits out a grub error 2 (cannot load stage 1.5) now so i managed to boot back into ubuntu using the sgd anyway | 23:59 |
