| SetiAmon | Whats the command to stop X again and go to terminal?i'm going to try reinstalling my graphics driers | 00:00 |
| mzz | Link23: excellent. Then "strace -f /usr/bin/firefox 2>/tmp/stracelog" should work. I might've missed the /usr/bin/ bit previously. | 00:00 |
| ibuclaw | gymophett, http://paste.ubuntu.com/176764/ | 00:00 |
| i2go | i heard ubuntu is way better than xp | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | !who | i2go | 00:00 |
| ubottu | i2go: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:00 |
| Alinn | Hi | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | !tab | i2go | 00:00 |
| ubottu | i2go: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:00 |
| magician0617 | ryan: No your swap is fine | 00:00 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: oh dear jah no thanks i did about 60h of online reading tried i think about 25 000 different things but nothing | 00:00 |
| mzz | ryan_: no, imho. Unless you suspend and run out of swap doing so. | 00:00 |
| five-eighths-rul | Anyone able to offer some advice on fixing hard drive errors? The Jaunty installer couldn't create the right partitions to do its job.... | 00:00 |
| SetiAmon | Seriously,How do i drop X | 00:00 |
| mzz | ryan_: (how much ram and how much swap?) | 00:01 |
| gymophett | ... :? | 00:01 |

| K-Rich | ugh | 00:01 |
| Mack | damn | 00:01 |
| raylu | Mack: checking gmail's webmail | 00:01 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: is sshd running on the other end? | 00:01 |
| Mack | raylu: see what gmail says | 00:01 |
| Mack | cuz for me it didn't | 00:01 |
| lukavia | hi, i use radeon xpress 200M on laptop, i can't get 3D to work, neither with Envy, neither with ati drivers from the site, HELP PLS | 00:01 |
| Mack | but idk about u | 00:01 |
| mobi-sheep | Alinn: Look in your Network Manger applet (on the tray). It should display either wired connection, wireless connection, or none. | 00:01 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: on the Desktop? I don't know | 00:01 |
| Mack | i dont wanna send it to someone, and them find out | 00:01 |
| magician0617 | ryan: you should be fine without resizeing your swap | 00:01 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: please check :) | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | i2go: yes there aren't really any viruses for Linux at this time, and to get malicious programs installed you would have to install yourself, or have your computer broken into and have them do it | 00:01 |
| raylu | Mack: wow, you're right. i can't show more headers | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | i2go: ,but whatever OS your on you should have a firewall | 00:02 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: have i installed it on the Desktop? | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | i2go: for example one enabled in your router | 00:02 |
| gymophett | lukavia: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 00:02 |
| raylu | Mack: in y! webmail, i could | 00:02 |
| Mack | raylu: u no if thunderbird shows full headers? | 00:02 |
| raylu | Mack: i assume it doesn't. haven't used it in a while | 00:02 |
| i2go | sebsebseb: does ubuntu has plugNplay? | 00:02 |
| lukavia | gymophett: 9.04 | 00:02 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: apparently you have it installed on one of them (the one you can connect to). | 00:02 |
| Mack | raylu: luckily, my friend has gmail not yahoo :P | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | i2go: and a good idea to have a good password that isn't say abc123 | 00:02 |
| Alinn | mobi-sheep: I using text base for connect:-[ | 00:02 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: there's a services management thing under system -> administration, iirc. | 00:02 |
| Mack | and he thinks i seriously got the pw for admin@gmail.com :D | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | i2go: most hardware works rather well with Ubuntu, but not everything, because of stupid hardware manufactures and lack of Linux support | 00:03 |
| raylu | Mack: ah, next to reply in the top left | 00:03 |
| raylu | Mack: there's an arrow. click, show original | 00:03 |
| Mack | hmm | 00:03 |
| raylu | Mack: http://www.haltabuse.org/help/headers/gmail.shtml | 00:03 |
| Link23 | mzz: I copied it as strace -f /usr/bin/firefox 2>/tmp/stracelog and firefox only appeared. | 00:03 |
| i2go | sebsebseb: i have a wireless router and card as well im kinda worry about that | 00:03 |
| raylu | Mack: but most people, myself included, wouldn't bother checking | 00:03 |
| gymophett | lukavia: the new version of Xorg in 9.04 doesn't support the ATI drivers yet, (but will soon), I have an ATI too, and I had to downgrade to 8.04.2 LTS, it's more stable anyway. I have everything working fine now. | 00:03 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: did i have to apt-get install ssh on both machines? | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | i2go: is it atheros? | 00:03 |
| fil_ | any one know how to disable the login theme so it can be only "terminal style login" or watever is called (: | 00:03 |
| famax8 | so that's it... nobody... :( | 00:04 |
| mzz | i2go: if a driver is available (this is the case for a lot but not all hardware) it will often get autodetected at least as well as under windows, in my experience. It's just hardware for which a driver is not (yet) available that is problematic. | 00:04 |
| Mack | ok, now im just going by the chance hes one of those lazy ppl | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | i2go: you can try your hardware on the Live CD before installing from that CD as well | 00:04 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: I don't recall if that's there by default. | 00:04 |
| Mack | or thunderbird doesn't show it | 00:04 |
| lukavia | gymophett: how soon ? | 00:04 |
| mzz | Link23: I am confused. Do you mean it works now? | 00:04 |
| === SP3C is now known as SP3C7R3 | ||
| sebsebseb | i2go: if it works on the live session no problem, then you should be fine, if not, you will have to probably set it up | 00:04 |
| gymophett | lukavia: that is the question. :( | 00:04 |
| Link23 | mzz: no it came up for a second. | 00:04 |
| cesar_ | hi everybody! | 00:04 |
| === cesar_ is now known as Guest97274 | ||
| Mack | raylu: but luckily for me, most references are to google | 00:04 |
| phoenixz | I need to install Linux on a SUN T2000 server, can I use Ubuntu Server 8.04 64bits for that purpose? | 00:04 |
| Mack | as i have the mx records transfered to google if u do a reverse check :P | 00:04 |
| mzz | Link23: ok. Can you "pastebinit /tmp/stracelog" (again you may have to "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" first)? | 00:05 |
| phoenixz | Anybody here with experience with installing ubuntu in SPARC / SUN architectures? | 00:05 |
| gymophett | lukavia: thats just what I heard.. But I'm sure it will support it. | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: Ubuntu on Sun hardware, wow I expect hardly anyone does that, if anyone has even done it | 00:05 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: lol, now i get to feel stupid... | 00:05 |
| i2go | sebsebseb: i have netgear router and linksys card | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: people would normalley do Solaris I expect | 00:05 |
| Guest97274 | hey how i can add to my xchat the gnome server? | 00:05 |
| yeonhoo | hi | 00:05 |
| Mack | oh wait | 00:05 |
| raylu | Guest97274: iirc, ctrl+s | 00:05 |
| Mack | i transfered back to me | 00:05 |
| === Guest97274 is now known as Xiumeteo | ||
| sebsebseb | i2go: I think it will work well, as I said you try on Live CD, once you got one and booted the computer from it | 00:05 |
| yeonhoo | I can't boot | 00:05 |
| lukavia | gymophett: i heard that we will have to wait the new kernel 2.6.30 | 00:05 |
| yeonhoo | there is a grub error | 00:05 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: i hadn't and needed to, install ssh on the Desktop. So, no wonder </gulp> | 00:05 |
| * livingdaylight blushes | 00:05 | |
| yeonhoo | how can I change the grub boot file? | 00:06 |
| famax8 | yeonhoo: dual boot? | 00:06 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: don't worry about it. I didn't recognize your original error message as being equivalent to "connection refused" (I'm a commandline kind of person myself, if the gui tools give different messages I'm easily confused) | 00:06 |
| i2go | sebsebseb: how do you guys download songs or movies? what do you guys use? | 00:06 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: AND now laptops finally sees Desktop. Sorry, for all the troubleshooting, but thank you | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | yeonhoo: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.list | 00:06 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: ic | 00:06 |
| yeonhoo | famax8: i lost entire boot,, im on liveCD now | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | !piracy | i2go | 00:07 |
| ubottu | i2go: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 00:07 |
| lukavia | gymophett: with this kernel ati cards will be supported, but i am not sure where i heard it from, maybe just rumours | 00:07 |
| raylu | mzz: what is the command to list fonts? it's similar to xfontsel, but not graphical | 00:07 |
| yeonhoo | hum | 00:07 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: I'm trying to break the habit of falling back to commandline tools when helping others but occasionally hit snags like this one | 00:07 |
| famax8 | yeonhoo: is the cd starting at all? | 00:07 |
| mzz | raylu: fc-list? | 00:07 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: permission denied doesn't sound like connection refused. That is what sent us on the redherring | 00:07 |
| mzz | livingdaylight: exactly | 00:07 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: Linux can run on solaris and I know ubuntu should work but.. before I start I'd like to get a bit of info :) I already talked a bit here with ppll before who did that | 00:07 |
| yeonhoo | famax8: yes im booting from cd | 00:07 |
| livingdaylight | mzz: thank you again... byes | 00:08 |
| phoenixz | Nobody here atm who knows about ubuntu on SPAR? | 00:08 |
| phoenixz | SPARC | 00:08 |
| raylu | mzz: not quite. it output them in.. X format. similar to -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | 00:08 |
| raylu | -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: I didn't say it coudn't be done, I just said not many people will do it | 00:08 |
| raylu | er, whoops. | 00:08 |
| mzz | raylu: xlsfont (or xlsfonts, I forgot)? | 00:08 |
| famax8 | yeonhoo: for start do a check cd for errors | 00:08 |
| lukavia | gymophett: thanks for the moral support :) | 00:08 |
| raylu | mzz: that's it, thanks :D | 00:08 |
| yeonhoo | famax8: but i can't access my hd to modify the grup option.. | 00:08 |
| yeonhoo | famax8: there is no error with cd | 00:08 |
| mzz | raylu: but if you're going for a ttf font you probably want to use xft | 00:08 |
| famax8 | no | 00:08 |
| yeonhoo | famax8: I already installed with it | 00:08 |
| Demonicdata | reinstalling graphics card fixed it.although even though the resolution is max 1600x1200 I belive it looks way to close up | 00:08 |
| Demonicdata | like the programs have no space | 00:09 |
| raylu | mzz: xft = ? | 00:09 |
| Mack | raylu: u think it'll change anything if my MX records are to google? | 00:09 |
| mzz | raylu: see the examples in "man urxvt" (search for "xft" in there) | 00:09 |
| TunisUnit | Hey, I'm new to Ubuntu and I was wondering if anyone knew any slim dvd burners or readers that work with it? | 00:09 |
| famax8 | yeonhoo: oh so is installed... so then live cd boot with command prompt on it and enter what sebsebseb told you | 00:09 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: true :) Its not really my choice but problem is that its my only option.. | 00:09 |
| raylu | Mack: no. i doubt he'll check | 00:09 |
| vithos | i set up connection sharing via networkmanager; the clients have internet access but dns queries are refused. how do i configure networkmanager to enable dns on the dnsmasq instance it launches? | 00:09 |
| Mack | yeah | 00:09 |
| mzz | raylu: I'm pretty sure that if you want antialiasing (you usually do when using ttf fonts) you'll have to use xft, not classic x fonts | 00:09 |
| Mack | but i wannna make this real | 00:09 |
| raylu | Mack: that's... impossible. obviously. | 00:10 |
| Mack | ok, as real as possible | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | TunisUnit: slim ones light waight? Ubuntu comes with Brasero and K3B is nice as well | 00:10 |

| Link23 | mzz: I just get pastebin.com when I do that. I can't even get to sites other than google in epiphany web browser. If I go to another site It crashes. Why don't I private message you it? | 00:10 |
| raylu | Mack: i don't think this is worth your time :P | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | !k3b | TunisUnit | 00:10 |
| ubottu | TunisUnit: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | !brasero | TunisUnit | 00:10 |
| Mack | nope, it isn't | 00:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about brasero | 00:10 |
| TunisUnit | I mean a drive | 00:10 |
| mzz | Link23: that would take forever. pastebinit should have given you a link to pastebin. What was the link? | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | TunisUnit: Ubuntu should just detect those normalley | 00:11 |
| Mack | raylu: which is EXACTLY y im doing it :P | 00:11 |
| TunisUnit | All the ones I found don't mention any Linux drivers | 00:11 |
| TunisUnit | And I want to make sure before i pull the trigger | 00:11 |
| Link23 | mzz: pastebin.com was all it gave | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | TunisUnit: most hardware with the exceptions of certain wireless for example, will just work with Ubuntu | 00:11 |
| famax8 | oh and how to get directx work on wine? | 00:11 |
| famax8 | anyone? | 00:11 |
| mzz | Link23: is /tmp/stracelog not empty (just open it in gedit or something) and did you run "pastebinit /tmp/stracelog"? | 00:11 |

| sebsebseb | famax8: what is? | 00:13 |
| mzz | can someone tell me if I'm going crazy and "pastebinit /path/to/textfile" doesn't actually work? | 00:13 |
| mzz | Link23: oh wait, I bet the file's too large. Try "tail -n1000 /tmp/stracelog|pastebinit"? | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: heh heh yeah I tried that app before with not much luck, I guess like you, I just did something wrong | 00:13 |
| xaime | nups | 00:13 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: music programs but i am thinkin about switch already for either the 9.10 or studio versions will it help? | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: the stuff in studio you can install into standard Ubuntu | 00:14 |
| Link23 | mzz: www.pastebin.com/f102d050b | 00:14 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: really? i can transform my ubuntu 8.04 in the studio version??? how?? | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: and 9.10 is on alpha1, and so rather buggy, and very much so in development | 00:14 |
| * mzz frows | 00:14 | |

| sebsebseb | famax8: you just install the stuff from studio into it that you want | 00:15 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: yeah my wifi works better but some things were dodgy so far | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: in 8.04 you mean? | 00:15 |
| Link23 | mzz: http://pastebin.com/f102d050b try that. It may have been the www | 00:15 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: yeah but how? | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: search in syntic for stuff | 00:15 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: no in 9.10 | 00:15 |

| sebsebseb | famax8: if so you really shoudn't be using 9.10 yet | 00:17 |
| famax8 | not much i'd say | 00:17 |
| NeRMe | yeah, but with a broken sources.list, how do I upgrade? | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: and this channel is not for 9.10 support, untill 9.10 final comes out | 00:17 |
| mzz | Link23: mmm, no sse support. You're positive this started happening immediately after a hard system crash, not after an upgrade? | 00:17 |
| P4R41 | mzz: ill check it out, last time it didn't work | 00:17 |

| sebsebseb | famax8: one computer you have 8.04 and the other you have 9.10 alpha1 bugy bugs development version | 00:18 |
| mzz | famax8: especially pretty shortly after a release I wouldn't immediately try the next version. I'd expect 9.10 to stabilise as we get nearer to its release. | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: what happended to 8.10 and 9.04? | 00:18 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: and all the issues are from 8.04 9.10 is just in test on the other pc since yesterday | 00:19 |
| mzz | famax8: I'd use either 8.04 (lts) or 9.04 (current release) right now | 00:19 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: well i was in prison... | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: well upgrade to 8.10 that may work better? oh and then maybe upgrade also to 9.04? | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: to be honest 9.04 is a bit of a pathetic release, but 8.10 :) | 00:19 |
| mzz | famax8: oh, definitely listen to sebsebseb if he recommends also trying 8.10 | 00:19 |
| P4R41 | so cheese doesn't detect the camera | 00:19 |

| Link23 | mzz: Yep, one minute I was changing my screensaver, just scrolling through some. But when I previewed molecule it froze and I hit my restart button. When I tried to change it again it went by default again to molecule then freeze. Then I held up when I went into the screensavers. Then firefox stopped working when I started it. | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: ok well upgrades go quite well | 00:20 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: and synaptic doesnt find studio | 00:20 |

| ubottu | Package/file ubuntu-studio does not exist in jaunty | 00:21 |
| mzz | raylu: if you're editing .Xresources you probably have to run "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" after changing it. Check if your changes show upn in "xrdb -query" | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | !info studio | 00:21 |

| sebsebseb | famax8: ok well you can get the packages for it anyway | 00:21 |
| famax8 | mzz: two advices are better than one i learnes it with linux :) | 00:21 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: for the ug? | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | !studio | 00:22 |
| ubottu | UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 00:22 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: through synaptic i guess shall i search for 8.10 | 00:22 |
| raylu | mzz: ahh, thanks :D | 00:22 |
| mzz | Link23: hmm, ok. Let's try to find out what function it crashes in. Does "firefox -g" give you a (gdb) prompt or an error message or something else? | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: see the bot says the programs are in the repo | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: and no you don't upgrade via synaptic | 00:22 |
| mzz | Link23: (I figured this'd be some relatively simple profile corruption, but it looks like something weird is going on :( ) | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | !upgrade | famax8 | 00:23 |
| ubottu | famax8: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 00:23 |
| archman | sebsebseb, is there an autosuspend function, like there is a shutdown -h <minutes> for the shutdown? | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | archman: try gshutdown | 00:23 |
| Link23 | it says (gdb) | 00:23 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: i think i'll go for my olskool reinstall not really keen to use this thing | 00:23 |
| Link23 | mzz: it says (gdb) | 00:24 |
| P4R41 | I think i need some help setting up my webcam, ugh | 00:24 |
| archman | sebsebseb tnx! :) | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: you don't need to re install now | 00:24 |
| mzz | Link23: excellent. Say "c" (without the quotes, and hit enter). It should crash (again). Then say "bt" and pastebin the output. | 00:24 |
| ni_ | help needed: what packages provide ogv codecs? | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: just upgrade, and maybe re install later on say 10.04 when I am also assuming Ext4 is more stable :) | 00:24 |
| gartral | I have two problems... one... I want to convert a few wavs to speex format.. and the other, more serious one is X will freeze, ussually when im working in firefox/galeon with a lot of photos on a page.. | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: instead of converting Ext3 to Ext4, I am talking just under a year from now here | 00:24 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: now now no.. but i need to find the answer for my wifi if i wanna dl the cd | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: your on 8.04 the current long term support relase, but 10.04 is the next one | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: if you use non LTS releases you would have to upgrade through each release. you can upgrade a LTS though directly to another one | 00:25 |
| Link23 | mzz: It says that the program is not being run and then no stack. | 00:25 |
| mzz | Link23: did "c" work? | 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: wifi does not work in 8.04? | 00:25 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: so 1st to lts and then 8.10 | 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | !lts | 00:26 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 00:26 |
| mzz | Link23: (you'd get that message if you tried "bt" before "c". If you did "c" I'm confused so please pastebin the output) | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: no 8.04 is the LTS | 00:26 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: very slow and cut now and then sometimes doesnt find the network | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: maybe 9.04 is the one you need, I read it has better atheros wireless support | 00:26 |
| archman | sebsebseb, it's not for suspending... | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: however 8.10 may also be good enough | 00:26 |
| Link23 | mzz: I typed c first and that's what I got. | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | archman: ok don't know then | 00:26 |
| dansku2 | is there how to change the folder the "make install" installs the file, i want to install it on my home folder | 00:26 |
| mzz | Link23: then can you pastebin the gdb output you got so far? I seem to be missing something again. | 00:27 |
| archman | sebsebseb, cool ;) | 00:27 |
| NimbleRabit | I'm trying to watch video's, and they keep freezing after about 10-15 minutes no matter which player I try. Any ideas what the problem could be? | 00:27 |
| mzz | dansku2: that depends heavily on the package, but you may have some luck with passing --prefix=$HOME (or $HOME/somedir) to configure | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: and you can't directly upgrade 8.04 to 9.04 you have to go through 8.10 | 00:27 |
| Dr_Willis | dansku2: you give the proper options to ./configure normally.. (and no i dont rember them) | 00:27 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: i think is not an atheros chipset | 00:27 |
| mzz | dansku2: definitely do not run "make install" as root if you're doing this. | 00:27 |
| unxuxu | Does anybody knows how to disable the autocomplete for URLs on Epiphany browser? | 00:27 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: no peak protocole - is a nvidia b43 sth | 00:28 |
| Demonicdata | who was it that was talking about gnome and how they had it configured earlier??? | 00:28 |
| dansku2 | mzz i cant, that why i want to install on other folder =) | 00:28 |
| Demonicdata | the one who showed me a screen capture of their setup | 00:28 |

| raylu | mzz: ahhh... xrdb -merge... merges. it doesn't remove things if i've removed them from .Xresources. heh | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: luckily I am hardwired so don't have to deal with stupid wireless issues anymore, yeah that was so 2004 for me | 00:28 |
| Link23 | mzz: http://pastebin.com/f14421f8a | 00:29 |
| mzz | raylu: oh, forgot to warn you about that one. I usually work around that by setting them to the default explicitly, then merging, then removing the line. | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: with Fedora Core 2 and 4 | 00:29 |
| raylu | mzz: oh. i just did xrdb -remove | 00:29 |
| mzz | Link23: try "r" instead of "c" | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: you know wireless issues? | 00:29 |
| chiques | sebsebseb, what problems are you having? | 00:29 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: i dont get it... 2004 but know that i cant be wired i cant pull a cable that long in the middle of the house i live with a blond | 00:30 |
| Alinn | How i know which connection is now connected (text base connections)? | 00:30 |
| gartral | I have two problems... one... I want to convert a few wavs to speex format.. and the other, more serious one is X will freeze, ussually when im working in firefox/galeon with a lot of photos on a page.. | 00:30 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb: i sure dont, i use a wired broadband connection | 00:30 |
| mzz | raylu: that works, but isn't what you want if you have more than just ~/.Xdefaults as source of resources. Some stuff like gnome-settings-daemon likes to add resources too, and I'm not sure how to get them to re-add after xrdb -remove. | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | chiques: not me famax8 | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: same here :) | 00:30 |
| chiques | famax8, What problem are you having? | 00:30 |
| ruipedroca | hi | 00:30 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: you think fedora is better? i tried core 2 nothing much better wifi wise | 00:30 |
| mzz | Alinn: what kind of "connection"? Perhaps you're looking for ifconfig? | 00:30 |
| P4R41 | can someone help me set up my webcam with gc-usb? | 00:30 |
| raylu | mzz: oh. poop. | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: 2004 is when I had a stupid wireless device thingey that woudn't work in Fedora Core 2 and 4 | 00:30 |
| ruipedroca | can anybody help me make my Xsane (Lenny) find my printer | 00:31 |
| mzz | raylu: they're probably not all that important though. | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: if any other distro is better for your wireless well possibily Mandriva | 00:31 |
| mzz | raylu: just log out and back in if odd stuff happens. | 00:31 |
| Link23 | mzz: so far it's working. It asks if I want to continue or quit and I don't want to do anything wrong. | 00:31 |
| mzz | Link23: I don't follow. | 00:31 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: ah so welcome to the club lol | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: not quite | 00:31 |
| Yankefish | ok guys need a lil help, i installed ubuntu, then booted vista and used easybcd to edit boot entry, now ubuntu wont boot | 00:31 |
| mzz | Link23: (keep pastebinning, I'm much better at following actual gdb sessions :) | 00:31 |
| Cylence | question about apt-get. I've run the 'update' command. 'sudo apt-get install tcl8.5' still results in 'E: Couldn't find package tcl8.5' | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: I was hardwired in 2005 :) so sweet being able to use second release of Ubuntu on a working Internet connection | 00:32 |
| famax8 | chiques: my wifi states 1mbs only and cut sometimes also it doesnt see network sometimes | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: ,but it really did suck having to use XP for net when I had Fedora Core installed. anyway off topic, and these other people can probably help you | 00:32 |
| Link23 | mzz: http://pastebin.com/f450e0b36 | 00:32 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: i mean fedora crappy issues club... | 00:32 |
| Rafael_ | can somebody provide help with backups or sync of data files with an NAS? | 00:32 |
| chiques | famax8, Do you have other computers that can connect at faster speeds? | 00:32 |
| mzz | famax8: the only wireless I have is in a *very* ancient laptop not running ubuntu (I don't fully trust its hardware either) | 00:32 |
| unxuxu | How can I disable autocompletion for URLs on Epiphany browser? its anoying me... | 00:32 |
| P4R41 | Cylence: run apt-cache search tcl and see if it comes up on a different name | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: no wireless problems club, because of stupid hardware manufactures that do not support Linux properly or at all | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: or the to newbie to configure a wireless at the time or get it working with ndiswrapper club | 00:33 |
| mzz | Link23: ok, so you are crashing inside xulrunner. Did you reinstall that package too when reinstalling earlier? | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: that was me in 2004 with Fedora Core 2 and 4 | 00:33 |
| Link23 | mzz: I don't believe so. | 00:33 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: therefore that's why we got a club lol * mzz: yeah but on the old one is fine | 00:34 |
| mzz | Link23: can you give that a shot, just in case? | 00:34 |
| Cylence | P4R41: it did find a few things, but not the actual tcl | 00:34 |
| Yankefish | can anybody help me restore ubuntu after editing with easybcd | 00:34 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: went through that... the ndiswrapper club lol | 00:34 |
| Cylence | P4R41: few things about ruby, and one about postgresql | 00:34 |
| Viking667 | I'm trying to connect to a machine via ftp using nautilus, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to set that up. Properties of the "FTP server on machine-name" don't indicate anywhere I can enter a username and password. | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: ndiswarpper should be a last resort, native first :) | 00:34 |
| mzz | yeah, I'm glad this card I have has a realtek chipset I don't need to run ndiswrapper for | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Yankefish: tell the channel some more info.. like.. #1 'how' did you install , (wubi or a normal install) and #2 - why did you mess with easybcd? | 00:35 |
| Viking667 | I've even tried opening it in gvim, not a single thing was present. | 00:35 |
| Cylence | P4R41: I got a huge anount of errors about unreachable servers upon attempting to update | 00:35 |
| famax8 | chiques: yes was | 00:35 |
| mzz | still, I'm not sure if the driver's stable (something's definitely causing oopses, I'm just not 100% sure what it is) | 00:35 |
| P4R41 | Cylence: you need to check your repositories | 00:35 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: for now i do with an underground way and screw ndiswrapper | 00:35 |
| SetiAmon | how can i tell if i am running compiz fusion?it is required for animated wallpapper right? | 00:35 |
| ejv | thecougar: it's definitely not for everyone, youger people tend to adjust better than older; it also has a lot to do with drive and patience ;) | 00:35 |
| Cylence | P4R41: /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 00:35 |
| Cylence | P4R41: I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking for, heh. would you mind having a look at it? | 00:36 |
| gartral | how do i check in terminal if a particular package is installed? | 00:36 |
| P4R41 | Cylence: you're doing this all command line with no gui? | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: underground way? | 00:36 |
| chiques | famax8, Have you tried removing rebooting the reinstalling fwcutter? | 00:36 |
| Cylence | P4R41: right | 00:36 |
| Yankefish | i installed with wubi 9.04, then i booted vista and used easybc to edit bootloader name, there was a drop box with c,e,f, and boot under it i selected boot now ubuntu dont load anymore goes to a dos like screen and says wubi | 00:36 |
| P4R41 | Cylence: ok, let me see if i can help you | 00:36 |
| Cylence | P4R41: sincere thanks | 00:36 |
| famax8 | chiques: fwcutter is gone if i remember | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: Wubi NO! | 00:36 |
| Cylence | P4R41: let me give you an output of the sources.list file. one moment | 00:36 |
| radiounix | Hello. Just installed an AMD HD4850 with the latest ATI driver, and am getting performance that on low settings is about as bad as my Geforce 6150 integrated. GLXgears is low at just 7,500. I'm not sure where to beging- you'll need to keep in mind I'm running Ubuntu Server, so no Restricted Drive Manager | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: Wubi not recommend by many people that know Ubuntu resonably well | 00:36 |
| P4R41 | Cylence: i get help here too, just paying it forward | 00:37 |
| Viking667 | huh? THat's _low_?? | 00:37 |
| LadyNikon | sebsebseb: you need to create a trigger | 00:37 |
| chiques | What does # lshw -C network print out? | 00:37 |
| radiounix | Performance was equally awful when using Ubuntu's stock FGLRX package | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | LadyNikon: ha ha | 00:37 |
| LadyNikon | sebsebseb: :p | 00:37 |
| chiques | famax8, What does # lshw -C network print out? | 00:37 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: yeah i use some pkg from a univ and desactivated the cutter, installed thw driver from manufacturer and is now almost ok | 00:37 |
| Cylence | P4R41: well, good on ya then ;) https://gist.github.com/98e4525889ce17158b3d | 00:37 |
| Yankefish | im a noobie with ubuntu | 00:37 |
| proq | does anyone know how to start the emerald themes from a nonstandard window manager (ratpoison)? the usual emerald --replace doesn't work | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | LadyNikon: true though some of the stuff I have put here, I am not sure how many times I have said it | 00:37 |
| mzz | Yankefish: they have a point in that wubi is actually more complicated than a regular setup with the current state of partition resize tools. | 00:38 |
| Ursinha | panaggio, :) | 00:38 |
| radiounix | @HD4850 question- might there be an Xorg.conf setting I need to tweak? | 00:38 |
| SetiAmon | hmm | 00:38 |
| unxuxu | How can I disable autocompletion for URLs on Epiphany browser? its anoying me... | 00:38 |
| mzz | Yankefish: also, you need to find someone who actually understands wubi to repair the kind of problem you're facing | 00:38 |
| panaggio | say Ursinha | 00:38 |
| Cylence | P4R41: oh, I added that 'pool' on the first line, btw. in a desperate attempt | 00:38 |
| === customer is now known as linuxman410 | ||
| famax8 | chiques: a bunch of things alrite | 00:38 |
| Yankefish | the install went fine just when i used easybcd thats when hell broke loose | 00:39 |
| mzz | proq: kill ratpoison by hand | 00:39 |
| Ursinha | guess you're not the panaggio I was thinking, sorry | 00:39 |
| thecougar | ejv: agreed. i have no drive for command line and thats my issue. i've always seen command line as a backwards feature | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: I don't fix weird wubi issues, because well weird wubi issues really are weird, and the standard stuff that applys to normal partitions, do not apply, for example being able to access the partition on a Live CD | 00:39 |
| mzz | proq: ratpoison is annoying and doesn't take the wm selection, it can't be --replaced properly (it's not emeralds fault, even though I really want to blame emerald instead of ratpoison :) | 00:39 |
| panaggio | Ursinha: yes, I'm the panaggio you're thinking =) | 00:39 |
| Ursinha | :) | 00:39 |
| Yankefish | ohh ok so how can i fix anybody | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: so in reply to your PM, I am not going to help you with fixing Wubi issues, I would just advice into not using Wubi :) and doing partitions for real | 00:40 |
| jake | anybody know a prog to log the stuff that top displays? | 00:40 |
| mzz | sebsebseb: no? Surely the livecd can mount the ntfs partition and then loopback mount the wubi partition? Although that doesn't help with the bootloader, since I have no clue how that setup boots in any detail... | 00:40 |
| chiques | famax8, Post it on paste.ubuntu.com | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: it hacks the Windows bootloader so it can boot up Grub | 00:40 |
| ejv | thecougar: yea I think it's just perception of productivity, the command line is linux's greatest asset; every operating system has a learning curve, again not for everybody. I am sorry you couldn't get xorg to display the resolutions you need. | 00:41 |
| mzz | sebsebseb: ahh, windows bootloader chainloading grub instead of vice versa? cute. | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: basicalley yeah | 00:41 |
| Yankefish | nope im asking for wubi help | 00:41 |
| mzz | sebsebseb: wonder where they stash grub without putting it in a partition though. Must be some awkward windows-bootloader-specific hack? | 00:41 |
| mzz | s/in a partition/in a bootsector/ | 00:42 |
| radiounix | Oh, oh, that's you. Sorry | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: well it goes in it's place in the MBR | 00:42 |
| thiebaude | Yankefish: i use to use wubi, whats wrong? | 00:42 |
| Yankefish | np | 00:42 |
| famax8 | chiques: done | 00:42 |
| yugo_ | anybody good with php ? ffmpeg my script not converting and grabing image yet its connected to mysql and inserts data ! someone help mee im dying with this | 00:42 |
| chiques | famax8, URL? | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: there is a way to access the wubi file, and it's files, but I don't have that link on me hummm | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 00:42 |
| thiebaude | yo | 00:42 |
| maisch | yo | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: if you messed up the bootloaders so you can't boot up Ubuntu/Wubi | 00:42 |
| Yankefish | yeah thats what happened | 00:43 |
| mugen | can someone help me intsall my T43 drivers? I'd appreciate any help! | 00:43 |
| radiounix | Is anyone open to troubleshooting poor 3D acceleration with me? I know, I know, cursed binary blob... | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: maybe I am going to help after all a bit, but only if can find that link | 00:43 |
| mzz | Yankefish: if you can boot off a regular livecd we can probably get at the wubi partition, but you'll have to find someone actually familiar with wubi to repair the bootloader. | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: you got data on there, that you want to get hold of? | 00:43 |

| Yankefish | nah no data just did a fresh install | 00:43 |
| Yankefish | i just want to install it again no data | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: there is a way to get hold of the data | 00:44 |
| xxx_x | hi, im new to C++ and im using anjuta, im writing a simple program, but i dont know how to execute it. i already compile it, no errors but i dont know waht next | 00:44 |
| Fohn | Hello, I need some assistance on a pretty strange problem. Botting into ubuntu, I discovered that all my firefox bookmarks were gone and a restore did nothing to fix that. Buttons on the internet don't work, my google toolbar doesn't work, etc. So I went to check out what could be wrong. Went to my home folder, which said I have ZERO bytes free. I had plenty of free space before this paticular boot. Even deleting files from my home fol | 00:44 |
| Fohn | der did nothing. | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: well in that case remove wubi :) | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: and do partitions for real :) | 00:44 |
| mzz | sebsebseb: yeah, that's really the easy part. The tricky part is getting it to run a kernel and a (probably humongous) initramfs | 00:44 |
| Yankefish | how do i just boot the ubuntu cd and reinstall | 00:44 |
| Fohn | I would make a post on the forums but the login button is broken. | 00:44 |
| raylu | mzz: thanks for the help with urxvt. i'll be stick with gnome-terminal, though, because redrawing is a bit slow in rxvt | 00:44 |
| raylu | mzz: it doesn't deal with with being resized either | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: someone did what I was just talking about and gave a link | 00:44 |
| mzz | raylu: it doesn't? how so? | 00:45 |
| thiebaude | Yankefish: dual boot | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: he was here in the channel a week or two ago or something | 00:45 |
| Link23 | mzz: it works! Thanks a million. Where can I learn all these things? | 00:45 |
| Fohn | Yankefish: When your computer is booting go into BIOS and choose to boot from the disc rather than your HD. | 00:45 |
| mzz | Link23: wait, what? The xulrunner reinstall fixed it? | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: remove Wubi :) | 00:45 |
| mzz | Link23: might want to fsck your / partition if you haven't already then. Creepy. | 00:45 |
| Yankefish | ok Fohn then what can i just reinstall on same partations | 00:45 |
| Link23 | Yea, It's working like a charm. | 00:45 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: you can do a proper dual boot set up, it's not that difficult | 00:45 |
| thiebaude | yep its real easy | 00:46 |
| radiounix | Lazy me. I think I'll pour over the Arch and Gentoo wikis for tips on 3D accell issues before pestering you folks. I'm sure that'll please you greatly | 00:46 |

| mzz | Link23: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash helps a bit with this kind of thing, although come to think of it I don't think I used any of that. For the rest there's really no single place where I picked up all the odds and ends used when debugging | 00:46 |
| Fohn | Yankefish: If you're talking about wiping over your current install, yes you could do so from the partition manager which is a step during the install process. | 00:46 |
| Fohn | I would make a post on the forums but the login button is broken. | 00:47 |
| Yankefish | ok fohn that what i'll do | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: if you can access Windows, or sort it out so you can, you can remove wubi like that | 00:47 |
| Fohn | Hello, I need some assistance on a pretty strange problem. Botting into ubuntu, I discovered that all my firefox bookmarks were gone and a restore did nothing to fix that. Buttons on the internet don't work, my google toolbar doesn't work, etc. So I went to check out what could be wrong. Went to my home folder, which said I have ZERO bytes free. I had plenty of free space before this paticular boot. Even deleting files from my home fol | 00:47 |
| Fohn | der did nothing. | 00:47 |
| mzz | raylu: huh. I don't think I've seen that, but I don't use fake transparency. | 00:47 |
| Link23 | mzz: Ok, I'm new so what do I have to do with the / partition? | 00:47 |
| mugen | can someone help me intsall my T43 drivers? I'd appreciate any help! | 00:47 |
| sebsebseb | Yankefish: DON'T use Wubi, use real partitions instead :) | 00:47 |
| mzz | can someone remind me how to force a fsck of / on reboot in ubuntu? :) | 00:47 |
| raylu | mzz: ah, it could be an issue with that | 00:47 |
| maisch | has any one a mac pro with ubuntu on it for me work perfect perfect except the f... kbd need help ! | 00:47 |
| thiebaude | Yankefish: i second that | 00:47 |

| Yankefish | thx guys l8r | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | mib_xhcj46 /server servername | 00:48 |
| famax8 | is it wubi so popular now? i find it dodgy... | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | mib_xhcj46: then join the channel | 00:48 |
| mib_xhcj46 | i selected the server option and typed that then it says spotchat (dead) | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | famax8: i think its horrific | 00:48 |
| thiebaude | famax8: i didn't like it | 00:48 |
| raylu | mzz: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: Wubi can be dodgy yeah, but yet loads of the newbies do it for their first installs | 00:48 |
| mzz | Link23: what raylu just said. Fohn: you may want to give that a shot too | 00:49 |
| mib_xhcj46 | well i did that and nothing happens when i do /join #linuxmint | 00:49 |
| Alinn1 | mzz: pppo."ifconfig" doesn't give me name of this connection.:-[ | 00:49 |
| famax8 | ah alrite the easy way... i started with a puppy and a slax... a bit masochiste i think... | 00:49 |
| mzz | Alinn1: what kind of name are you looking for? | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | famax8: started with mandrake | 00:49 |
| raylu | Fohn: df -hx tmpfs | 00:49 |
| Alinn1 | mzz: ? | 00:49 |
| mzz | famax8: wubi sounds easy, but the resulting boot loader setup is nonstandard enough that someone not familiar with wubi can't help you repair it if it breaks. | 00:49 |
| Fohn | will give it a look mzz, thanks. | 00:50 |
| famax8 | come on even for a newbie it would tach nothing... | 00:50 |
| mzz | famax8: with partition resize utils available on the install cd and working pretty well wubi is arguably unnecessary. | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: I started with Fedora Core 2 :) | 00:50 |
| mzz | Alinn1: you're looking for a "name" for the connection. What kind of name are you looking for? eth0? ip address assigned to it? something else? | 00:50 |
| famax8 | mzz: unnecessary is said!!! | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | id rather see people test out Ubuntu in virtualbox.. | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: same here | 00:50 |
| raylu | i'd rather not see windows when i boot up every machine i buy. | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: altough when Wubi works properly, it gives people a feel for the system, and if there hardware will just work, but sure Live CD's do that anyway | 00:51 |
| mib_xhcj46 | why is that? | 00:51 |
| famax8 | ActionParnsip: mandrake was grand i tried as a first install to make my classes | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: self build then ;) | 00:51 |

| cached | how would i use something like %H in a terminal? I want to do something like mv x x_%h where %H is the hour | 00:51 |
| Alinn1 | mzz: yes eth0. | 00:51 |
| mzz | Alinn1: "ifconfig" really should have that. | 00:51 |
| raylu | mib_xhcj46: look for the tabs near the top | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | raylu: ah | 00:51 |
| Link23 | mzz: So I can learn a lot about the command prompt and debugging through the ubuntu wiki? Ok, the fsck is done and all that's left is to reboot. Thanks! | 00:52 |
| raylu | cached: mv x x_`date %H` | 00:52 |
| mzz | Alinn1: (see also "ifconfig -a" to include interfaces that are down) | 00:52 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb: doesn't ubuntu run slower on a wubi install? | 00:52 |
| mib_xhcj46 | i have a tab that says spotchat (dead) and in it, it wont do anythign when i /join chan | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: it can do yeah, if Windows is all fragmented | 00:52 |

| mib_xhcj46 | !wubi | 00:53 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 00:53 |

| mib_xhcj46 | interesting | 00:53 |
| Link23 | mzz: Ok I'll search for some ones then. See you when I get back. | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | mib_xhcj46: safe way maybe not quite, since some computers can mess up when Wubi is done | 00:53 |

| Name141 | Would extracting the ISO directly to a USB flash drive work if I put USB as the first boot device? | 00:53 |
| Gourlis | Hi everyone, I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS - Anyone knows which is the best website to find and install themes for my version of Ubuntu ? | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | !usb | Name141 | 00:54 |
| ubottu | Name141: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:54 |
| maisch | ouin ! | 00:54 |
| mib_xhcj46 | when it is done? like virtual system turned off, settings are not left right? i dont even know if its really a virtual system | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | !themes | Gourlis | 00:54 |
| ubottu | Gourlis: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Gourlis: no.. you could use 'unetbootin' to make a bootable flash drive | 00:54 |
| mzz | zamba: firefox (or really sqlite) can get really unhappy if the profile directory is on nfs (related to (stale or malfunctioning) filesystem locks) | 00:54 |
| Gourlis | sebsebseb, hi and thanks dude :) | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | Gourlis: np | 00:54 |
| Name141 | sebsebseb: I don't want to install it from the USB drive. I want to keep it live, but make it run faster than the DVD | 00:54 |
| raylu | Name141: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 00:54 |
| zamba | mzz: well.. it works if i just wipe the existing .mozilla folder | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | or did i get nicks wrong.. :) heh | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | Name141: oh right | 00:54 |
| mzz | zamba: symptoms usually include bogus "profile in use" messages and the address bar and bookmarks/history malfunctioning completely. | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | yea i did. :) chat scrolled as i was reading. | 00:55 |
| Gourlis | sebsebseb, to do not mess up again with anything (am talking about me) gnome themes are for my edition ? | 00:55 |
| zamba | mzz: firefox just don't work here.. | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | Gourlis: that's for all of them | 00:55 |
| zamba | mzz: it launches and loads the home page, but then freezes entirely | 00:55 |
| Name141 | sebsebseb: So I could just simply extract it to the flash drive and put USB as the first boot? | 00:55 |
| Gourlis | sebsebseb, oh nice! | 00:55 |
| zamba | mzz: if i remove the .mozilla folder and start firefox, it works just fine | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | Name141: not sure, since not done that myself | 00:55 |
| raylu | Name141: ... no. | 00:55 |
| Name141 | Hm. | 00:55 |
| mzz | zamba: hmm. Wild guess: is this a terminal server-ish setup with tons of firefox instances running on one system? | 00:55 |
| zamba | mzz: nope | 00:55 |
| zamba | mzz: one firefox for each computer | 00:55 |
| mib_xhcj46 | anyone know a chan on freenode something like megworld | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | zamba: yes since then you got a new Firefox profile | 00:55 |
| raylu | Name141: see the link i gave you. give it your iso file and your usb drive and you'll be good to go | 00:55 |
| mzz | zamba: err, wait, that wouldn't explain it working without .mozilla. Can you narrow it down to a particular file you're copying? | 00:56 |
| th0r | I am planning the installation of a vm to run xp within linux, and would appreciate any insight anyone can share regarding either QEMU or XEN | 00:56 |
| Name141 | raylu: OK. I gotta rearrange my external hard drives before I can plug the flash drive up anyway. | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: you may want to use virtualbox instead. | 00:56 |
| Name141 | raylu: all my USB is plugged almost | 00:56 |
| mzz | th0r: I think I'd prefer virtualbox over qemu. I don't know about xen. | 00:56 |
| thiebaude | !xen | 00:57 |
| ubottu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | theres vmware too | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: xen is a radically different thing then virtualbox or qemu | 00:57 |
| famax8 | chiques freaked out on my problem... i can definitely offer champagne to anyone who finds solution== not kidding | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !vmware | 00:57 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 00:57 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: As I understand it you have to renew the licensing for virtualbox every year. | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: Not that ive ever noticed... | 00:57 |
| mzz | th0r: not if you use the ose edition | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: it has a free version.. | 00:57 |
| zamba | i'll try rephrasing with some more detail.. i'm running a set of computers that all log on to the different systems using the same user.. to prevent the different users messing with each other's setting, i use unionfs to combine the read-only home directory with a rw directory somewhere in /tmp, so that the user will still be able to write to their home directory (thus "fooling" programs that need to be able to write to a home folder).. | 00:57 |
| mib_xhcj46 | i never got qemu to work at all and virtualbox was easy to use an dim pretty sure its free | 00:57 |
| mzz | th0r: (err, that was a bit redundant, open source edition edition... :) | 00:57 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: I am gathering that....I have started reading up on both and there are references to qemu within xen? | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !info virtualbox-ose | 00:58 |
| THCLOKI | Hi | 00:58 |
| ubottu | virtualbox-ose (source: virtualbox-ose): x86 virtualization solution - binaries. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.4-dfsg-1ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 8576 kB, installed size 31164 kB | 00:58 |
| zamba | so the home directory will only be a read-only starting point for the session | 00:58 |
| Name141 | It appears as if I have deleted the ISO. I suppose I could simply use 8.10's CD extract it and make an ISO ? | 00:58 |
| mzz | th0r: yes, some of the qemu vm code is based on xen. | 00:58 |
| mzz | th0r: err, qemu! | 00:58 |
| zamba | this worked just fine in intrepid, but stopped working after upgrading to jaunty | 00:58 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: the studio room is dead :/ | 00:58 |
| THCLOKI | !de | 00:58 |
| ubottu | In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 00:58 |
| zamba | so i'm guessing something has changed in firefox between those two versions | 00:58 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: are you running virtual box? | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: i use virtualbox all the time. | 00:59 |
| mzz | th0r: you're right about them offering a version under a weirder license, but it's likely the open one does everything you need. There's a comparison on their site somewhere. | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | famax8: look under multimedia in synaptic and you will find most studio apps there | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: xen is a different sort of thing. and i dont think you can run xp in xen (at last you couldent last i looked) | 00:59 |
| mzz | th0r: I have a windows 2000 and ubuntu install running under virtualbox, they both work pretty well. | 00:59 |
| Gourlis | sebsebseb, i can install compiz themes on my ubuntu 8.04 LTS ? | 00:59 |
| th0r | mzz: I am really only interested in running xp under linux...although I don't know why I need it <smile> | 00:59 |
| famax8 | sebsebseb: thanks i'll check if there is what i need | 01:00 |
| zamba | th0r: that works very well | 01:00 |
| mzz | th0r: xp under virtualbox should work fine. I don't remember if you can run it under xen unmodified now. | 01:00 |
| zamba | th0r: the only thing that really doesn't work is usb devices | 01:00 |
| Rob0917 | hey all | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | the version from the web site does usb from what i gather.. | 01:00 |
| zamba | th0r: you should be able to get windows xp running under xen, but i think that needs some more tweaking | 01:00 |
| mzz | th0r: well, usb devices work if they work in the guest, iirc the trick where they're passed on to the guest unmodified doesn't work in virtualbox-ose though. | 01:00 |
| zamba | mzz: any idea about my problem? | 01:00 |
| zamba | mzz: i know using just a single user account for all the lab machine is a "bad idea" by design, but i don't think it's technically relevant.. | 01:01 |
| mzz | zamba: I'm assuming the unionfs setup lets you kill files in the profile directory one by one? Deleting which file makes it work again? Alternatively try strace-ing firefox to see what it gets stuck on. | 01:02 |
| th0r | well, looks like there is a lot more research in the queue now <smile>. Will put virtualbox back in consideration and see what I can learn from google. Thanks everyone for the comments....has certainly given me food for thought. | 01:02 |
| felix_ | hi. which package contains update-rc.d? | 01:02 |
| zamba | mzz: i've tried that deleting file-by-file approach, but then i just ended up with it not starting at all :) | 01:02 |
| zamba | mzz: but i'll try strace and see what happens | 01:02 |
| mzz | zamba: that's really odd (if deleting the entire profile works so should deleting it file by file...) | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | felix_: you can use apt-file if no one replys | 01:03 |
| zamba | mzz: yeah.. one would assume | 01:03 |
| felix_ | ActionParsnip, thanks | 01:03 |
| zamba | but i'll give it another go tomorrow.. | 01:03 |
| cameron_ | Hey does anyone use Tucan Manager? | 01:03 |

| Link23 | mzz: well I can't find the file. | 01:07 |
| mzz | Fohn: the problem is you can't easily unmount / from a running system (this would involve dropping to single user mode, which is generally a hassle). So what you do is put in a marker file that causes the boot scripts to run fsck on the next boot. | 01:07 |

| Artissimo | Hi all. I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto a netbook using a USB Flash Drive. I followed the directions to use dd to copy the iso to the drive, but the drive is not bootable. This is a freshly formatted FAT 32 drive. Any ideas? | 01:07 |
| mzz | Link23: what file? | 01:07 |
| Link23 | wasn't there supposed to be a file when I ran the fsck? | 01:08 |
| Fohn | mzz: I did that, but it didn't seem to fsck. I will retry, though. | 01:08 |
| mzz | Fohn: they can run fsck early on in the boot process, before / is mounted readwrite. This is a bit easier than shutting down enough of the system that you can safely remount it readonly, running fsck, remounting it readwrite, and restarting the world. | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: what command did you use exactly? | 01:08 |
| cached | raylu, Dr_Willis: Thanks! It worked. | 01:08 |
| mzz | Fohn: it's possible /forcefsck isn't actually used by the ubuntu boot system (I'm not really familiar with it) | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | cached: geat! err.. what worked? | 01:09 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: dd if=/ubuntu.iso of=/disk/disk3 bs=8m | 01:09 |

| ubottu | hasan45oslo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:10 |
| mzz | Artissimo: (obviously be *very* careful the /dev/sdwhatever you target is not a hd with data on it) | 01:10 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: I could only /dev/disk3 | 01:10 |
| mugen | can someone help me intsall my T43 drivers? I'd appreciate any help! | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: 'disk' that makes no sence.. you access the device by its device name.. plug in the thumbdrive.. wait a few moments run and 'dmesg' command and see what the system sees it as.. | 01:11 |
| === orochi is now known as orochi_ | ||
| Gnea | mugen: T43? | 01:11 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: Im on os x | 01:11 |
| Link23 | mzz: What's supposed to happen after an fsck? | 01:11 |
| mugen | Gnea: i'm sorry thinkpad T43 | 01:11 |
| mzz | Link23: ideally: nothing, it'll just delay boot a little. | 01:11 |
| Gnea | mugen: what drivers? | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: then you need to fighre out how to access the 'root' of the thumbdrive then i guess. You dont do it to a partition on the drive.. you do it to the 'whole drive' | 01:12 |
| mzz | Link23: but reinstalling xulrunner shouldn't have fixed anything unless your installed xulrunner got corrupted through filesystem damage. | 01:12 |
| mugen | Gnea: Video card drivers | 01:12 |
| Link23 | mzz: then I guess it might have worked. | 01:12 |
| cameron_ | Does anyone use Tucan download manager? | 01:12 |
| cameron_ | guess not >_> | 01:12 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: Hm... perhaps someone should update the ubuntu guide then | 01:12 |
| Gnea | mugen: i'd google but my mouse just went kaput. what video card? | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: the guide i saw was rather clear in saying use /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 | 01:13 |
| mugen | Gnea: well i searched the ibm website and it looks like i have this (one sec let me get the page) | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: but i am on a pc/linux box. | 01:13 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: on the official ubunut site? | 01:13 |
| Gnea | !laptop | mugen | 01:13 |
| ubottu | mugen: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: its a 'disk' image - not a 'partition' image.. so it has to be to the whole disk.. sort of sucks in ways.. if you dd the image to a 16gb thumbdrive it will basically waste the otehr 15gb at the end. | 01:14 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: I can use network boot to boot it wilth a remote iso? | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: no idea. You could boot a linux live cd.. and use the more normal linux 'dd' and device names | 01:15 |
| Gnea | mugen: you can find out, also, like this: lspci | grep VGA | 01:15 |
| Cora | Hi | 01:15 |
| Artissimo | I dont want to waste a cd | 01:15 |
| Artissimo | ;-) | 01:15 |
| Link23 | mzz: I uninstalled a few other things that were required. Also I learned that epiphany was also affected by xulrunner and it crashed to so... | 01:15 |
| Gnea | Artissimo: blasphemy! ;) | 01:15 |
| mzz | Link23: yep, they share the engine. | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: ask in the os-x channels then how to dd somthing to a disk, not a partition | 01:15 |
| Cora | Hi I'm new here | 01:15 |
| mzz | Link23: might want to install a simple webkit-based browser (is midori packaged?) for cases like this. | 01:16 |

| Cora | somebody can help me? | 01:16 |

| Link23 | mzz: Ok, I'll find one | 01:16 |
| mugen | Gnea: this is what i got (http://paste.ubuntu.com/176801/) | 01:16 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: They are dead ;-) ... I will search around online | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: I don't like the !ask trigger message that much | 01:16 |
| Gnea | sebsebseb: then don't use it | 01:16 |
| mzz | (we're horribly impersonal, aren't we) | 01:17 |
| Cora | The new version 9.04 is stable now | 01:17 |
| jdu | mzz, Link23 last I checked midori was packaged but not with a stable version in the default repositories. Google for how to enable a ppa repository for it. | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: I use it sometimes though | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Cora: yes, released officially | 01:17 |
| Cora | because I was trouble installing | 01:17 |
| Mack | raylu: you were right | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Cora: did you md5 check the iso? | 01:17 |
| Cora | yes | 01:18 |
| Mack | 15-20 min later, i finished making the godfather theme in garageband for hte harp :D | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Cora: good | 01:18 |
| Gnea | Cora: during what part of the installation? | 01:18 |
| Cora | The instalation was fine | 01:18 |
| mcrandello | "openssh-server: Depends: libcomerr2 (>= cursor-theme-extra) but 1.41.4-1ubuntu1 is to be installed" | 01:18 |

| Cora | but when I run | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !find regex.h | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Found: libtie-regexphash-perl | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | that one khaled_ :) | 01:19 |
| mcrandello | anyone else getting that problem? The libcomerr package is already installed | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: didnt know she did that | 01:19 |
| Cora | the compiz doesn't work | 01:19 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: | 01:19 |
| Artissimo | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Mac%20OS%20X | 01:19 |
| Gnea | Cora: did you setup your video drivers? | 01:19 |
| mcrandello | and I've never seen anything like >=cursor-theme-extra | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Cora: you need to install video drivers | 01:19 |
| Artissimo | That guide says to just install to /dev/disk3 :-/ | 01:19 |
| Cora | I try find the video drivers | 01:20 |
| mcrandello | these are both in theory the latest versions from the official sources | 01:20 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: were we talking about fusesmb yesterday? | 01:20 |
| Cora | so I think my video card is black list | 01:20 |
| Gnea | mugen: (sec, just got my mouse working) | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Cora: lspci | grep -i vga will get you started | 01:20 |
| mcrandello | and openssh is working fine and dandy atm, I just can't install anything else | 01:20 |
| mugen | Gnea: No problem! I appreicate your help very much | 01:20 |

| Gnea | Cora: how can you be so sure? what video card is it? | 01:23 |
| mugen | Gnea: "no proprietary drivers to use on the system" | 01:23 |
| eseven73 | Gourlis, Ive been using Ubuntu since 7.04 Gutsy Gibbon, im still a noob so don't feel bad ;) | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: yes its the window decorator | 01:23 |

| luis_ | alguien habla español aki | 01:26 |
| Chr|s | !sound | bragr | 01:26 |

| Gnea | !helpme | xyleborus | 01:36 |
| ubottu | xyleborus: 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 | 01:36 |
| Cora | Gnea: Ok, just wait a sec | 01:36 |
| mzz | gartral: did you figure out the speex question yet? Do you have access to the system through ssh or the like while it is stuck? | 01:36 |
| Gnea | xyleborus: also, tell us what video card you have, please | 01:36 |
| Gnea | Cora: sure thing | 01:37 |
| Ripzerskins | I need to find a wireless networking usb drive that will work with ubuntu 8.10. I don't know where else to look. Any suggestions? | 01:37 |
| raylu | Mack: :D | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | xyleborus: ask, the room will reply if it can | 01:37 |
| darthanubis | jfalvarez, the key is on the ppa page, or you can google launchpad master key file | 01:37 |

| raylu | Mack: nice | 01:37 |
| Mack | lol yeah | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ripzerskins: best way dude, buy what is mega compatible for zero or minimal issues | 01:37 |
| gartral | mzz: the speex thing was a pebcak, and yes, it *is* Xorg that hangs, i do have ssh access, but i can't kill x unless i zap it, or alt-sysrq-k | 01:38 |
| freeinput | Hello, I am using a laptop and tried to use an extra display to make a wide desktop for while at home. Since getting that to work I have 2 black bars on the side of my display reducing usable space. Tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and sudo displayconfig-gtk with no help. I am using ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix on a dell inspiron b120. Thanks for any help. | 01:38 |
| Ripzerskins | Thanks everyone. | 01:38 |
| mzz | gartral: anything interesting in either /var/log/Xorg.0.log or dmesg while it is stuck, and what driver is this? | 01:38 |
| qazavul | does anyone know how to make windows app like mabinogi work on ubuntu | 01:38 |
| gartral | mzz: nvidia 180's.. | 01:38 |
| Gnea | freeinput: 2 black bars? are they horizontal or vertical and what side are they on? | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | qazavul: tried wine? | 01:39 |
| qazavul | wuts wine | 01:39 |
| mzz | freeinput: sounds like you just need to change what resolution the screen is in, using either xrandr or your favorite gui equivalent | 01:39 |
| Gnea | !wine | qazavul | 01:39 |
| ubottu | qazavul: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 01:39 |
| Gnea | mzz: he might also just need to hit the 'auto adjust' button on his monitor | 01:39 |
| gartral | mzz: i also get the "random horizontal black bars" syndrom | 01:39 |
| qazavul | is it free | 01:39 |
| klndz3 | I'm having some issues, and I'm hoping it isn't with my video card. I've installed ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop, but when I ran the installation on the LiveCD, my screen displayed the installer kind of broken up (I can provide a picture if you'd like) and disjointed. I went through the install with the disjunct display, and booting the OS from the HDD comes up with the same issue. This also happened when I tried to use a slackware distro as | 01:39 |
| schambers2 | is it possible with compiz to assign an application to always open on a specific space? | 01:40 |
| mzz | gartral: where? | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qazavul: yes | 01:40 |
| Gnea | qazavul: uhm, yes, xrandr is part of xorg, which has been free since day #1 | 01:40 |
| schambers2 | or just xfce in general | 01:40 |
| freeinput | Gnea: they are on both sides of the screen, my screen resolution is messed up. I tried xrandr and no help | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qazavul: its a best effort abstraction for windows apps. Not everything works well, some dont even work at all | 01:40 |
| Ripzerskins | The usb network drives on those pages are all either outdate or discontinued. Any other suggestions? | 01:40 |
| linuxman410 | Ripzerskins i use a linksys wireless g usb and it works in 8.10 | 01:40 |
| Cora | Gnea: I have a trouble...I can't open it | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qazavul: some work amazingly | 01:40 |
| dsnyders | freeinput, You could try [ctrl][alt][num+/num-] to flip through your resolution modes. | 01:40 |
| Gnea | freeinput: have you tried the 'auto adjust' button on the monitor? or is it a CRT? | 01:40 |
| Ripzerskins | linuxman410: Thanks. | 01:40 |
| mzz | Gnea: I was assuming we were talking about the laptop builtin device. You definitely have a point if it's the external monitor. | 01:40 |
| fsufitch | hey. does anyone have any idea why moving windows with compiz on (wobbly windows or not) lags, while other more intense parts of compiz (cube, fire, atlantis, etc.) don't lag at all? | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qazavul: sudo apt-get install wine | 01:40 |
| gartral | mzz: accross websites at random, and "stick" bars on desktop background | 01:41 |
| Cora | Gnea: Please forgive me because I'm newbie | 01:41 |
| mzz | gartral: eep. I have no idea if that's a known nvidia thing, I don't use it myself. | 01:41 |
| gartral | mzz: ill screencap Wolframalpha in firefox, one moment | 01:41 |
| mzz | gartral: one thing that's worth trying if you haven't already is disabling desktop effects (compiz) temporarily | 01:41 |
| schambers2 | fsufitch: at what point does it lag? i found a thread about a problem i was having in regards to fglrx drivers and compiz | 01:41 |
| Gnea | Cora: just do this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 01:41 |
| raylu | fsufitch: recompositing transparency is very intensive | 01:41 |
| Gnea | Cora: np, that's why we're here to help :) | 01:41 |
| DeepDayze | hi wirechief | 01:42 |
| gartral | mzz: nah, i run with no effects, this system isn't all that powerful | 01:42 |
| Gnea | mzz: well, based on what he said initially, it sounded like he had an external monitor to split the screen between that and the builtin | 01:42 |
| mzz | gartral: I'd also try the open drivers if you're using the closed ones currently or vice versa, but I don't know if that's an option with your hardware. | 01:42 |
| freeinput | I am on a laptop display and didn't see a auto adjust botton | 01:42 |
| fsufitch | schambers2, raylu, it lags all the time i'm moving the window, and even on opaque windows. i'm getting about 5 fps on moving the window, while the rest is running at smooth speed | 01:42 |
| Ripzerskins | linuxman410: I'm seeing reviews on newegg that say this has bad signal reach | 01:42 |
| fsufitch | * the rest = while i'm not moving a window | 01:42 |
| Gnea | freeinput: I may have misunderstood what you said initially | 01:42 |
| schambers2 | oh i saw something different | 01:42 |
| schambers2 | my maximize/minimize lags about 2 seconds due to a bug in fglrx drivers | 01:43 |
| linuxman410 | Ripzerskins mine works just fine and has a good reach | 01:43 |
| raylu | fsufitch: that's strange indeed. what graphics card? also, glxinfo/xdpyinfo | 01:43 |
| fsufitch | schambers2, i'm using the official nvidia driver | 01:43 |
| klndz3 | I'm having some issues, and I'm hoping it isn't with my video card. I've installed ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop, but when I ran the installation on the LiveCD, my screen displayed the installer kind of broken up (I can provide a picture if you'd like) and disjointed. I went through the install with the disjunct display, and booting the OS from the HDD comes up with the same issue. This also happened when I tried to use a slackware distro as | 01:43 |
| gartral | mzz: nonme exist that i can find, its a geforce 6200 | 01:43 |
| schambers2 | fsufitch: yeah, i have an ati card :/ | 01:43 |
| fsufitch | raylu, GeForce 8400M GS 256 MB | 01:43 |
| Cora | Gnea: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 01:44 |
| Ripzerskins | linuxman410: Thanks. Going to order one. How do you install it in 8.10? It comes with a cd. I'm curious, ndiswrapper or something? | 01:44 |
| P4R41 | how can i check if my webcam driver is loaded? | 01:44 |
| fsufitch | schambers2, the very reason i use nvidia is because of the crap i had gone thru with ati and intel in the past | 01:44 |
| mzz | gartral: mmm, if you're using the closed drivers you might want to try #nvidia, and definitely check what the last thing in Xorg.0.log and dmesg is when it gets stuck | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | P4R41: cheese is a good app to test | 01:44 |
| linuxman410 | no 8.10 just reconized it | 01:44 |
| schambers2 | yeah | 01:44 |
| P4R41 | cheese isn't seeing the webcam | 01:44 |
| schambers2 | the ati drivers are a joke | 01:44 |
| Gnea | Cora: is it? do you have upgrade-manager or synaptic running? | 01:44 |
| linuxman410 | i use it in 9.04 now | 01:44 |
| schambers2 | i mean they work for the most part, but there is obviously issues | 01:44 |
| P4R41 | but i had that issue before and another app did see it. can't remember which tho | 01:44 |
| wanneng | the net traffic module of gnome-system-monitor get data from /proc ? | 01:45 |
| Cora | Gnea: jeje sorry I try again | 01:45 |
| mzz | schambers2: fglrx is on the way out, and the open ones are improving (at least 2d should work properly in many cards now) | 01:45 |
| P4R41 | how can i check if a module is loaded? | 01:45 |
| DeepDayze | fglrx is a joke | 01:45 |
| mzz | P4R41: lsmod | 01:45 |
| === schambers2 is now known as schambers | ||
| Gnea | P4R41: lsmod | grep <modulename> | 01:45 |
| freeinput | sorry hard for me to keep up. to much talking. :) I put an external montior on and since I did my montier on my laptop res is messed up. just have the laptop moniter right now and tried to fix it but the res that I had in not an option now. | 01:45 |
| mzz | I agree that fglrx is not your friend, and definitely not currently. | 01:45 |
| wanneng | the net traffic module of gnome-system-monitor get data from /proc ? | 01:45 |
| DIL | e | 01:45 |
| mzz | wanneng: it might. You'd have to check the code. | 01:46 |
| Gnea | freeinput: oooh okay - do you have them set to the same res? | 01:46 |
| DeepDayze | my laptop is a T42 that has a Radeon 7500 builtin | 01:46 |
| mzz | wanneng: (I think the data it displays is or at least was available through /proc/, but that may not be the only way) | 01:46 |
| linuxman410 | Ripzerskins you might get it cheaper on ebay 8.10 reconzed it i hook it up and then booted computer | 01:46 |
| DeepDayze | and fglrx don't support it | 01:46 |
| DeepDayze | radeon driver does | 01:46 |
| schambers | mzz: with my laptop (lenovo w500), the open source ones cause a dramatic heat rise in the video card. the fglrx drivers don't overheat the vid card | 01:46 |
| mzz | DeepDayze: yeah, you definitely don't want fglrx for that hardware | 01:46 |
| fsufitch | schambers, raylu, it also looks like the moving window is not being vsynced (just the window). it has that annoying refresh cutoff line. does that give any clue? | 01:46 |
| schambers | DeepDayze: w500 here | 01:46 |
| DeepDayze | the old IBM T42 is a nice machine | 01:46 |
| mzz | schambers: hmm, have you checked "man radeon" or the #radeon channel for options to underclock it or otherwise control power? | 01:47 |
| wanneng | mzz:thank you | 01:47 |
| raylu | fsufitch: i haven't used compiz in a long time; no idea, sorry :P | 01:47 |
| DeepDayze | i spiffed mine up | 01:47 |
| Ripzerskins | linuxman410: haha that's awesome. Well, I'm not paying for it, so I'm not looking for too much of a bargain. Newegg has never sold me a defective product. | 01:47 |
| mzz | schambers: Option "DynamicClocks" "on" sounds promising. | 01:47 |
| fsufitch | raylu, okay then :) | 01:47 |
| schambers | mzz: hmm | 01:47 |
| freeinput | I did when I had it conected, but I don't need the have the external connected all the time. But when I disconected my main didn't go back to how it was from a fresh install. | 01:47 |
| schambers | mzz: interesting. | 01:47 |
| schambers | the open source radeon drivers are the xorg-...-radeon drivers correct? | 01:47 |
| SorenUbuntu | I have partitioned my HDD and installed XP. I am here using the Ubuntu boot disc OS. what is the next step in making a 2 OS HDD? | 01:47 |
| linuxman410 | Ripzerskins hope you like it i know mine works great | 01:48 |
| nimrod | hey | 01:48 |
| Gnea | freeinput: after you disconnected the external, did you try restarting X? | 01:48 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu: Make a second partition with ubuntu on it. If you already have two partitiosn just select the second partition and install | 01:48 |
| darthanubis | SorenUbuntu, google dual-boot ubuntu start there | 01:48 |
| schambers | mzz: this is an option to set in x config? | 01:48 |
| freeinput | No I did not, but I did restart the computer a couple times. | 01:48 |
| mzz | schambers: yes, in the Device section for your card | 01:48 |
| Ripzerskins | linuxman410: My neighbor will, I'll like the payment I get for your help :D | 01:49 |
| mzz | schambers: check in the manpage if your version of the driver supports it though | 01:49 |
| SorenUbuntu | Ripzerskins: IDK how, I am very new | 01:49 |
| P4R41 | Gnea there are 2 instance where the module name comes up but the applications still can't see the webcam | 01:49 |
| Ripzerskins | linuxman410: due to | 01:49 |
| P4R41 | Gnea: there are 2 instance where the module name comes up but the applications still can't see the webcam | 01:49 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu: You're on a live cd right? | 01:49 |
| schambers | mzz: thanks | 01:49 |
| SorenUbuntu | Ripzerskins: yes | 01:49 |
| nimrod | i have no sound in youtube. I'm using ubuntu 9.04 | 01:49 |
| Gnea | P4R41: is your user account part of the video group? | 01:49 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu: There should be an icon that says install to hard drive or something on your desktop | 01:50 |
| Gnea | !sound | nimrod | 01:50 |
| ubottu | nimrod: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:50 |
| Cora | Gnea: Ok, so this is the result | 01:50 |
| SorenUbuntu | Ripzerskins: yes | 01:50 |
| Gnea | nimrod: also, how did you install your flash plugin? | 01:50 |
| SorenUbuntu | Ripzerskins: it says "Install" | 01:50 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu: click on that, it'll make you go through the usual install new os process, then when you get to partion manager simply click on the partition that doesn't have xp on it | 01:50 |
| Cora | Gnea: http://pastebin.com/F7addd030 | 01:50 |
| schambers | mzz: mine is a radeon hd card tho | 01:50 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu wait for a second | 01:50 |
| schambers | mzz: is that the same manpage? | 01:50 |
| Gnea | The requested URL /F7addd030 was not found on this server. | 01:51 |
| P4R41 | Gnea: there isn't a video group | 01:51 |

| psycose | hi i'm looking for a doc describing how to rebuild debian package gcc-4.3 (after adding a patch) | 01:51 |
| Gnea | P4R41: sure there is, #44 | 01:51 |
| Cora | Gnea: Is wrong? | 01:51 |
| Gnea | P4R41: open a terminal and type: id | 01:51 |
| nimrod | Gnea: i installed flash in firefox | 01:51 |
| freeinput | Gnea: Would it make a difference from restarting x and restarting the computer? | 01:51 |
| thansom | my sound works, but sometimes it randomly cuts out | 01:51 |
| Gnea | nimrod: k | 01:51 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu: nevermind, I don't know how to help you from there. When it asks for a file type or whatever choose the first from the drop box. | 01:51 |
| Gnea | !flash | nimrod | 01:51 |
| ubottu | nimrod: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 01:51 |

| krishna3456 | Hi iam a noob to ubuntu.I would like to know how to connect to a internet connection using modem which is currently removed from ubuntu 9.04 version | 01:51 |
| mzz | schambers: it matches the driver name specified in xorg.conf (or autodetected and showing up in Xorg.0.log). Should be radeon or radeonhd. | 01:51 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu: It's been a long time since I've installed | 01:52 |
| imonthecomputer | hey guys how do I install one specific package from the testing repository? Namely wine 1.1.21 ? | 01:52 |
| schambers | ok its radeon | 01:52 |
| Gnea | nimrod: please check that guide and make sure it's installed that way - if you downloaded it directly off of adobe's site, it won't work | 01:52 |
| Ripzerskins | Sorenubuntu: Back up files on xp, and install. | 01:52 |
| Cora | Gnea: What happen? | 01:52 |
| P4R41 | Gnea: the user isn't in the video group, i was using the gui user management | 01:52 |
| SorenUbuntu | Ripzerskins: ok, I will hang around and wait for another helper, but tyvm | 01:52 |
| nimrod | ok, Gnea | 01:52 |
| P4R41 | Gnea: whats the command to add to the group | 01:52 |
| eseven73 | freeinput, restarting is kind of a Windows crazy thing, same with defragging, virus scanning, not really needed on Linux | 01:52 |
| schambers | mzz: when i install xubuntu 9.04 it installs the xorg-radeon driver by default, but i uninstalled it because of the heat issues | 01:52 |
| SetiAmon | anyone here install Mohegan? | 01:52 |
| Ripzerskins | SorenUbuntu: This is sort of one of those things most people point you towards google for. | 01:52 |
| Ripzerskins | sorenubuntu: You might as well hit install and learn for yourself | 01:53 |
| SorenUbuntu | Ripzerskins: , ok | 01:53 |
| Ripzerskins | SorenUbuntu: or... you know... google | 01:53 |
| SetiAmon | anyone here install Mohegan? | 01:53 |
| Gnea | Cora: did you paste it right? | 01:53 |
| Ripzerskins | SorenUbuntu: good luck | 01:53 |
| SorenUbuntu | ty | 01:53 |
| Cora | Gnea: yes | 01:53 |
| imonthecomputer | hey guys how do I install one specific package from the testing repository? Namely wine 1.1.21 ? | 01:53 |
| Gnea | Cora: try again | 01:53 |
| eseven73 | !latest | imonthecomputer | 01:54 |
| ubottu | imonthecomputer: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

| freeinput | eseven73: I turn off my computer every night and sometimes my computer tells me to after installing a program. But would that also restart x? | 01:54 |
| eseven73 | yep | 01:54 |
| * anternative np: 02 [00:15m/652Kbps/32KHz] | 01:54 | |

| Cora | ok | 01:56 |
| Gnea | Cora: http://pastebin.com/f5552d134 :) | 01:56 |
| imonthecomputer | ubottu, and yes I know it is a huge bug fix for me thanks for the help | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:56 |
| mzz | gartral: I probably can't help unless it's something unrelated to the drivers and/or logged | 01:56 |
| Cora | Gnea: yes! | 01:56 |
| Cora | Gnea: so now?? | 01:56 |
| gartral | mzz: i could pastebin the log... but i don't know what to look for.. | 01:56 |
| Gnea | Cora: okay, it says that you don't have any default video driver set... does it allow you to select the intel one if you do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 01:57 |
| mzz | gartral: only interesting if it's a log for a stuck Xorg (which means /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old might work depending on if you restarted after the last hang) | 01:57 |
| alex-weej | Venom010: ask your question first! | 01:57 |
| imonthecomputer | eseven73, what is the syntax for that command? | 01:57 |
| schambers | are the xorg display drivers that are in synaptic manager the open source display drivers? | 01:57 |
| mzz | schambers: they should be | 01:58 |
| grkblood13 | any1 know a good program to run a live talk show. like maybe something that has buttons you can press to play sounds and stuff | 01:58 |
| eseven73 | imonthecomputer, for? | 01:58 |
| mzz | schambers: (unless they're obviously not, due to being called fglrx or the like :) | 01:58 |
| Cora | Gnea: Command not found | 01:58 |
| Gnea | Cora: are you sure you typed it right? | 01:58 |
| gartral | mzz: i had, yes | 01:59 |
| psycose | hi, concerning debian package gcc-4.3, it there something special in packaging this package, because there is a tar.bz2 instead of source, and running debuild is not sufficient to rebuild the package, thanks | 01:59 |
| alex-weej | schambers: synaptic just lists what's in the repos. both open and closed drivers are in the repos | 01:59 |
| imonthecomputer | !backports | 01:59 |

| schambers | so i'm confused... i have the xorg-radeon drivers installed.... | 01:59 |
| schambers | but i also enabled the propitary drivers via "hardware drivers" | 01:59 |
| schambers | whats the difference? | 01:59 |
| imonthecomputer | eseven73, nevermind I am a noob :P | 02:00 |
| alex-weej | schambers: drivers can be installed but not used. if you enabled the driver via the drivers manager then it will be active | 02:00 |
| mzz | schambers: the proprietary drivers should be in a package with "fglrx" in the name, iirc. | 02:00 |
| eseven73 | hehe imonthecomputer :) | 02:00 |
| Cora | Gnea: I typed tree times | 02:00 |
| schambers | i see | 02:00 |
| schambers | so just because they're installed via synaptic, doesnt mean they're in use | 02:01 |
| Cora | Gnea: command not found | 02:01 |
| gartral | mzz: heres the old | 02:01 |
| klndz3 | I'm having some issues, and I'm hoping it isn't with my video card. I've installed ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop, but when I ran the installation on the LiveCD, my screen displayed the installer kind of broken up (I can provide a picture if you'd like) and disjointed. I went through the install with the disjunct display, and booting the OS from the HDD comes up with the same issue. This also happened when I tried to use a slackware distro as | 02:01 |
| gartral | mzz: here's current http://gar.pastebin.com/f6a42e9fe | 02:01 |
| Gnea | Cora: can you copy/paste with mouse? | 02:02 |
| gartral | mzz: heres the old http://gar.pastebin.com/f30819c87 <- forgot something, there, did'nt I? | 02:02 |
| Cora | Gnea: yes | 02:02 |
| Gnea | Cora: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 02:02 |
| mzz | gartral: err, it going "Initialized AGP Gart." over and over again definitely doesn't look normal to me, but it's hard to tell since I haven't used that driver in ages | 02:02 |
| syntax\ | how can i mount iso files on ubuntu.. i mean like daemon tools on windows? is there a program available on linux | 02:03 |
| mzz | gartral: anything related in dmesg? | 02:03 |

| rascal999 | when i play music on rythmbox it skips and screws up, can you buffer or suggest another decent music player? | 02:03 |
| mzz | syntax\: err, add a sudo to that, but you get the idea | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | syntax\: no need for such hacks.. :) its a feature of the OS.. been a feature for years.. | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !iso | syntax\ | 02:03 |
| ubottu | syntax\: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 02:03 |
| nimrod | after i upgraded from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 the sound sounds weird in rhythmbox | 02:04 |
| syntax\ | mzz | Dr_Willis sweet thanks | 02:04 |
| mzz | syntax\: this does only work for actual iso images. There are conversion utilities out there that convert from weirder formats to standard iso. | 02:04 |
| Chr|s | !sound | nimrod | 02:04 |
| ubottu | nimrod: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| Cora | Gnea: so what you think? | 02:05 |

| limpc | having a strange problem here with my filesystem. whenever i open a file browser (e.g. program file -> save as..) it takes at least 45 seconds for the dialog to open | 02:08 |
| mib_jsacf0 | i tried to join /server irc.spotchad.org, spotchat tab opens up and it says spotchat (dead) and i cant /join #linuxmint | 02:08 |
| limpc | it only occurs when i use the file browser (of any program). any idea why this happens? it only recently started | 02:08 |
| mugen | Gnea: So i tried those guides you recommended me. There are no longer packages like that available. The only reason i'm trying to upgrade my video drivers is websites with a lot of graphic content load slow/sluggish and overall graphic performance seems sluggish. Any other suggestions? | 02:08 |
| Cora | Gnea: Maybe I will wait more to the problem would fixed | 02:08 |

| mzz | mmm, I wonder why this wireless seems to be working so much better in the download direction than in the upload direction. | 02:13 |
| mib_jsacf0 | unless i linked to it wrong, it should tell you all the conditions and none of them say that you can get it running under wine at least within 8.04 heron and before | 02:14 |
| gartral | mzz: can't, i know for a fact the mobo's AGP slot is hardcloced 4x, i tryed a REALLY old 2x card, and it failed to even post | 02:14 |

| godzirra | I just want it to boot to a ocommand prompt. | 02:15 |
| mib_jsacf0 | um one thing that i wouldnt recommend but you could try is installing windows in the program virtualbox and seeing if that will accept it | 02:15 |
| schambers | does anyone know to assign applications to specific spaces on startup? in either compiz or xfce/xubuntu? | 02:16 |

| schambers | i was mistaken | 02:18 |
| schambers | so is that possible with compiz? | 02:18 |
| mib_jsacf0 | qazavul: sorry i couldnt help you more and look at this list, i wouldnt recommend getting their live dvd but it has a list of games that you can dl and install for free. http://live.linux-gamers.net/?s=games | 02:18 |
| gartral | voss: i have a 6200 right now, im not downgrading | 02:19 |
| limpc | schambers: there might be a plugin that lets you do per-app (e.g. title name match) theming. i dont know of one though. | 02:19 |
| qazavul | ty | 02:19 |
| mib_jsacf0 | in mint im pretty sure | 02:19 |
| mib_jsacf0 | i mean ubuntu | 02:19 |

| kitty_ | did you sort the correct direction, it pooped out a bunch of 24's and such | 02:45 |
| bc | can someone suggest "screen casting" software that works pretty well? | 02:45 |
| kitty_ | i'm not familiar with the du output | 02:45 |
| mzz | kitty_: hmm, sec | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | kitty_: it's not advised to log into the actsual root account and use it, but I assume you only gave yourself root in the terminal in the normal user account | 02:46 |
| mzz | kitty_: works for me... | 02:46 |
| mzz | kitty_: if for some reason my sort is backwards just use head instead of tail though :) | 02:46 |
| kitty_ | ok well the last line is 3694 / | 02:46 |
| mzz | kitty_: then it's working. | 02:46 |
| kitty_ | ok so what am i looking at exactly here? (cornfused) | 02:47 |
| mzz | kitty_: the number is in megabytes now, and the line next to it is the path taking up that much space. so 3694M for root (that's about 3.7G again) | 02:47 |
| mzz | kitty_: that's everything. You should see /usr, /var etc above that. If in doubt pastebin the output. | 02:47 |
| booksbuggy | what does it mean when the terminal prints " ignorming unknown interface eth0=eth0? | 02:47 |
| Fohn | hey mzz, got an fsck to run and I still have zero bytes | 02:47 |
| mzz | kitty_: you're looking for anything that's taking up lots of space but shouldn't, or taking up lots of space but can be removed safely. | 02:48 |
| bc | bc: I'm guesing xvidcap is the way to go. | 02:48 |
| mzz | Fohn: output of "df -h" for the affected partition? | 02:48 |
| booksbuggy | what does it mean when the terminal prints " ignorning unknown interface eth0=eth0"? | 02:48 |
| mzz | booksbuggy: when doing what? | 02:48 |
| kitty_ | floodbot: pastebin! | 02:48 |
| booksbuggy | when i restart the networking device | 02:48 |
| lstarnes | booksbuggy: using what? | 02:48 |
| mzz | booksbuggy: also, preferably copy error messages exactly (is it really saying "ignorning"? :) | 02:48 |
| booksbuggy | well all it prints are: | 02:49 |
| sebsebseb | !pastebin | kitty | 02:49 |
| ubottu | kitty: 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) | 02:49 |
| booksbuggy | * Reconfiguring network interfaces... | 02:49 |
| Fohn | mzz: /dev/sda2 217G 214G 0 100% / | 02:49 |
| mzz | booksbuggy: what command do you actually run? Consider pastebinning what you're doing. | 02:49 |
| wheelie207 | Does anyone know why ubuntu hasn't started writing code to take advantage of multiple cores | 02:49 |
| lstarnes | booksbuggy: eth0 might not exist | 02:49 |
| mzz | Fohn: like kitty_ you're confused by the filesystem reserving some space for root. | 02:49 |
| booksbuggy | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:49 |
| kitty_ | it keeps reserving everything i delete.... | 02:49 |
| Steven | I can no longer alt+tab in Ubuntu. What am I doing wrong? | 02:50 |
| lstarnes | wheelie207: that's really an issue in the individual programs and possibly the linux kernel, not ubuntu itself | 02:50 |
| kitty_ | Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on | 02:50 |
| kitty_ | /dev/sda1 3944244 3789540 0 100% / | 02:50 |
| Fohn | Indeed I am. What does that mean? | 02:50 |
| kitty_ | is that like 180Mb that should be free that isn't? | 02:50 |
| mzz | Fohn: by default a small percentage of available space is reserved for root, both to prevent fragmentation by filling the partition completely and to prevent the system grinding to a halt because things like /var/log can no longer be written to. | 02:51 |
| wheelie207 | I guess I should have ask it differently | 02:51 |
| Fohn | more importantly, why did it start happening now and how do I reduce the space available? | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | Fohn: by default Ubuntu only gives a / and swap. /var/log /boot and all of it goes in / including /home | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | Fohn: if you did sepeate home well that would be your data and such, and everything else would be for the system in / | 02:52 |
| wheelie207 | All thses multiple core cpu's and no one can write code to take advantage of it.. not even windows... hmmmmm | 02:52 |
| booksbuggy | it just printed " * Reconfiguring network interfaces... and ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" when i used the command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:52 |
| booksbuggy | well without the and | 02:52 |
| kitty_ | fohn what happened to you? | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | wheelie207: find out in ##linux maybe, since not distro specific | 02:53 |
| Fohn | I booted up today and my HD says it has 0 bytes available | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | wheelie207: and your talking about hardware so ##hardware | 02:53 |
| kitty_ | same here but mine happened like 5 days ago | 02:53 |
| kitty_ | how large is your hd? | 02:53 |
| wheelie207 | thanks I'll check that out too.. | 02:53 |
| boriz | i have realvnc 4 on my host comp, i need somethign taht'll work with krdc... any suggestions? (windows host) | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | wheelie207: ok no problem | 02:54 |
| Fohn | sebsebseb : I don't think I ever had a separate home. | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | Fohn: well some of us do | 02:54 |

| sebsebseb | boriz: ##windows may be able to help | 02:55 |
| kitty_ | i'm working off a thumb drive, and i only have 4Gb so partitioning it separately for /home /usr and such isn't to my advantage | 02:55 |
| swtaarrs | I moved a folder with some video files from my home partition to an ntfs partition in ubuntu, but now when I try to access the files in windows I get an error saying that the location is unavailable and it won't let me look in the folder. I've done this before without any problems and I don't think I did anything different this time, anyone know what could be going on? | 02:55 |
| mzz | Fohn: recommend you simply free up some space (sorry for vanishing, hardware problem took down the system I was typing on) | 02:55 |
| boriz | sebsebseb: hehe okay, not up to me, im just trying to connect to host, and i'm on kubuntu now | 02:55 |
| Fohn | mzz: I can't free up space. I delete files but it has no effect. | 02:56 |
| kitty_ | mzz, fohn and i seem to be having the same problem | 02:56 |
| Steven | Need help! A friend told me to go into Nautilus to delete something because the folder I wanted to delete was owned by root. I managed to delete the folder, but ever since I cannot see stuff that used to be on my desktop, alt+tab does not work and right-clcik on the mouse button does not work. Please help! | 02:56 |
| mzz | Fohn: use "df -m" to get output in megabytes and check for used space going down, not just free space going up | 02:56 |
| wtl | where's root's trash :) | 02:56 |
| mzz | kitty_: yep, I'm aware of that. | 02:56 |

| poseidon | For some reason apache/php isn't working | 02:59 |
| mzz | kitty_: try "df -m" to get output in megabytes and look for used space going down, not free space going up | 02:59 |
| imonthecomputer | freeinput, I think ctrl + alt + Backspace kills x | 02:59 |
| kitty_ | it does mzz | 03:00 |

| kitty_ | i'm running out of stuff to delete that i don't "need" to keep around | 03:00 |
| simbioz | Steven it seems you screwed it up | 03:00 |
| mzz | kitty_: the free output in df will stay at 0 until the actual free space exceeds the reserved space I mentioned earlier. This is normal. Just keep deleting stuff. | 03:00 |
| booksbuggy | is there a way to set the whole network manager and the text data files to default without internet connection? | 03:00 |
| Steven | How? | 03:00 |
| kitty_ | how do i change the reserved space? | 03:00 |
| Typh | Either I'm just dumb or the jaunty partitioner is an absolute failure of software. Anyone have some patience? I've got two partitions, one with XP, one that I want to install ubuntu to, preferably in ext4. I can't figure out this partioner. | 03:00 |
| NvidiaUser | Heh. Not sure where to ask this. Here it goes: Anyone know how to query a server for a file size? (Any programming language) | 03:00 |
| eseven73 | is there a way to create a symlink to another directory but NOT have it create a directory? Like I need photos from /home/eseven73/Pictures to go to /var/www/images/ but NOT /var/www/images/SYMLINK_DIRECTORY/ | 03:00 |
| Sp3ctr0 | Well.. I am using a ZTE MF363 modem and ubuntu 9.04 does not recongnize it, my old 8.10 use to do it? how do i do in order to fix this? | 03:01 |
| mzz | NvidiaUser: define "a server" | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | Typh: still some issues with Ext4 in the release notes, and yes you need to make your own Ext4 partition in partition editor | 03:01 |
| simbioz | Steven: what was the path of the folder you deleted | 03:01 |
| Steven | no idea | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | !notes | Typh | 03:01 |
| simbioz | ¬¬ | 03:01 |
| ubottu | Typh: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes | 03:01 |
| kitty_ | this only started happening after my last system update and i installed a new kernel version | 03:01 |
| Steven | It was on my Desktop | 03:01 |
| the_dark_warrio | vim is really unresponsive under Ubuntu... Anyone knows why? For example, scrolling large amounts of lines don't update the screen buffer, and lines get messy.. | 03:01 |
| Steven | It was a folder on my normal desktop owned by root | 03:01 |
| kitty_ | so did they change the amt of space root tries to reserve ? and is there a way to change it back? | 03:02 |
| NvidiaUser | mzz like any webserver where you can download files from. Umm like download.com when you want to know the file size from a console window | 03:02 |
| Steven | A friend told me to go into nautilus so I could delete it | 03:02 |
| Fohn | what do I need to press to make one of those strange vertical lines. Before anyone says so, I do not mean 1 or l or slash. | 03:02 |
| NvidiaUser | mss I'm downloading files from a console window later | 03:02 |
| cheebird | | | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | Steven: I do the partitions in partition editor first, then format and tell it what to use the partitions for, in manual install | 03:02 |
| kitty_ | shift + back slash | 03:02 |
| matuck | Fohn, shift and your backslash | 03:02 |
| Fohn | thanks | 03:02 |
| hderms | how do i install the basic nvidia drivers that came with my ubuntu jaunty installation | 03:02 |
| hderms | I tried using the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com but im having serious graphical errors | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | hderms: they don't come with it, you have to install them yes | 03:02 |
| mzz | NvidiaUser: it depends. I think http can do this (although not necessarily for every file on every server) but for examples like your download.com you may have to go through some redirects to get at the download, and if those aren't the simple http kind following them may be annoying. | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | hderms: system > administaration > hardware drivers | 03:03 |
| hderms | sebsebseb tried that | 03:03 |
| hderms | it didnt work | 03:03 |
| DIL | poseidon: /etc/init.d/XXX start | 03:03 |
| mzz | NvidiaUser: I don't know the exact http request to make offhand (it might've been HEAD) | 03:03 |
| zorph | a program has SSE2 dependency, but my processor doesnt have sse2 support - any way I can still run it? | 03:03 |
| jm2k | Quick question: looking at my HTOP or TOP, why does Firefox or other apps run multiple process id's ? | 03:03 |
| NvidiaUser | mzz thanks I'll look into Perl functions for Http web transfers. oh and Download.com was an example. | 03:03 |
| poseidon | DIL, I did that | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | hderms: oh from nivida.com | 03:03 |
| simbioz | Steven: it's hard to get a solution to your problem if we do not know what you deleted | 03:03 |
| lstarnes | jm2k: they might be one process with many threads | 03:03 |
| booksbuggy | is there a way to set the whole network manager and the text data files to default without internet connection? | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | hderms: if you do that, you can get problems yeah | 03:03 |
| mzz | zorph: I suspect not, but having a hard sse2 dep isn't that common | 03:03 |
| poseidon | sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 03:03 |
| hderms | yeah and under hardware drivers nothing appears anymore | 03:03 |
| pyrak | what's the name of the image viewer in ubuntu? i want to open it up from the command line. | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | hderms: yeah under hardware drivers would be the one from repo, if there was something available | 03:04 |
| mzz | zorph: and I doubt it'd run acceptably even if you could run it | 03:04 |
| DIL | poseidon: ok | 03:04 |
| lstarnes | pyrak: it might be eog | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | hderms: only install directly from nividia.com as a last resort, because you can get problems | 03:04 |
| zorph | ok mzz | 03:04 |
| simbioz | Steven: maybe you should got your friend to help you ;) and kick his ass too :P | 03:04 |
| Typh | OK, I'll keep the ext4 issues in mind, but regardless is it an option from this partitioner or no? And how do I use the entire partition for Ubuntu? I tried "side by side" and it gave me a partition just big enough. "Specify manually" seems awkward and is leaving 1.5 GB in between the partitions. | 03:04 |
| pyrak | or, alternately, is there a command to open a file with the "default program" for that typeof file? | 03:04 |
| jm2k | lstarnes: i thought that might be it. | 03:04 |

| sebsebseb | kitty_: if Firefox has gone wrong, all you need to do is delete or move it's profile. from home folder | 03:06 |
| Fohn | mzz: The problem is we have absolutely no room. | 03:06 |
| sebsebseb | kitty_: the hidden .mozilla folder | 03:06 |
| mzz | rCX: I know emacs does this just fine as long as it's either an existing file or I remember to tell it to write as dos | 03:06 |
| lstarnes | ldiamond: I think no ports are blocked by default. You will just need to start a program that listens on a port to open it | 03:06 |
| sebsebseb | kitty_: then when you start Firefox again, you have a new profile | 03:06 |
| mzz | rCX: learning emacs for this may be overkill though. Weird gedit doesn't get it right. | 03:06 |
| ldiamond | lstarnes, doesnt seem to work. | 03:06 |
| mzz | Fohn: apt-get runs as root. It'll *probably* still work | 03:07 |
| zorph | mzz, so no sse2 in flags, tha tmeans no support? | 03:07 |
| Fohn | However I believe that the problem might have been that my system was backing up an taking up tons of space. | 03:07 |
| mzz | zorph: correct | 03:07 |
| kitty_ | sebsebseb everytime i start firefox it says "thanks for updating" cause it can't save the file that says "i've already seen this" cause the hd is reporting itself as full | 03:07 |

| ldiamond | lstarnes, I did however enable ufw (I then disabled it and now its marked as inactive) | 03:07 |

| sebsebseb | mzz: command line is usauly better yeah, but there are also some pretty nice graphical apps out there and such | 03:10 |
| mzz | can someone give me a friendly way to kill old installed kernels and modules? | 03:10 |
| Steven | I deleted a program called Kmuddy | 03:11 |
| Steven | I installed Kmuddy to the desktop | 03:11 |
| mzz | sebsebseb: I never really got around to liking baobab for some reason. | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: what's baobab? | 03:11 |
| mzz | kitty_: you have three old kernels and corresponding modules installed. Removing those will help. | 03:11 |
| NvidiaUser | mzz if I'm reading this right the HEAD Request will show content lengths of remote files. ;) | 03:11 |
| Fohn | mzz: Gah, I just did that like a week ago, but the technique totally escapes me... | 03:11 |
| mzz | sebsebseb: gnome diskspace usage visualization thingy | 03:11 |
| wtl | sebsebseb, .local because the non-root trash is under ~/.local :D | 03:11 |
| magician0617 | bow chicka wow wow | 03:11 |
| Steven | He had me do alt+f2, "gksu nautilus" and I moved Kmuddy folder from the desktop through cutting it and pasting it into the root desktop in the file system and then moved it to trash from there. That is all I did | 03:11 |
| Bllasae | how do i install ubuntu 9.04 over the previous version? | 03:12 |
| TViYH^ | need help guys | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | mzz: that didn't say about space that's the other command or even pydf if it's installed | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | !diskfree | 03:12 |
| ubottu | Graphical representations of where your disk-space is being used are: baobab (GNOME), filelight / kinfocenter (Kubuntu). On the terminal: df -h -T | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | !find diskfree | 03:12 |
| ubottu | Found: gtkdiskfree | 03:12 |
| NvidiaUser | TViYH just ask and maybe someone can help you. | 03:12 |
| TViYH^ | i already have ubuntu on a partition, so if i install ubuntu studio, can i somehow have it write on top of the current ubuntu? | 03:12 |
| booksbuggy | what is /etc/postfix/main.cg? | 03:12 |
| Fohn | mzz: You were totally right! I now have free space after killing some old backups | 03:12 |
| * phoenixz is back. | 03:12 | |
| sebsebseb | mzz: I would use kdiskfree or gtkdiskfree | 03:12 |
| booksbuggy | what is /etc/postfix/main.cf? | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | !find kdiskfree | 03:12 |
| ubottu | Found: gtkdiskfree | 03:12 |
| mzz | mmm | 03:12 |
| Bllasae | how do i install ubuntu 9.04 over the previous version? | 03:13 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, i already have ubuntu on a partition, so if i install ubuntu studio, can i somehow have it write on top of the current ubuntu? | 03:13 |
| kitty_ | ok now i finally have 77k free | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | kitty_: sudo apt-get install gtkdiskfree | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | kitty_: nice little graphical program, that will show you how much space is being used and not being used | 03:13 |
| kitty_ | ... is there a way to reduce the ammount of reserved space for root? | 03:13 |
| NvidiaUser | TViYH^ Sorry I have no idea what Ubuntu Studio is :O ;) | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | kitty_: well if you have space to install it hum | 03:13 |
| mzz | kitty_: notice those /lib/modules/* dirs. You should only need the latest one of those, and the same for the matching stuff in /lib/restricted-modules and /boot. I just don't know the right aptitude command to get rid of the three old ones. | 03:13 |
| booksbuggy | what is /etc/postfix/main.cf? | 03:13 |
| kitty_ | i already cleaned boot out, i'm gonna go for the modules now | 03:14 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, it's a distro of linux, it's basically a graphics edition of ubuntu | 03:14 |
| mzz | kitty_: yes, but I strongly recommend you don't use it because the filesystem will get unhappy (fragmented) if it's very close to full. | 03:14 |
| mzz | kitty_: see "man tune2fs" if you're desperate. | 03:14 |
| phoenixz | mzz: LjL: Sorry | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | kitty_: maybe you should just clean install :) | 03:14 |
| mzz | phoenixz: no problem, as long as you turned it off :) | 03:14 |
| phoenixz | Just installed konversation, seems like it has some weird basic settings, I didnt see it till now | 03:14 |
| phoenixz | mzz: Turning it off now! :) | 03:14 |
| lstarnes | booksbuggy: it's the configuration file for postfix | 03:14 |
| phoenixz | sorrryyyyyyy! | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: I used Konversation for ages, nice app | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: I am looking forward to a KDE4 version | 03:15 |
| NvidiaUser | TViYH^ You could always make another partition and install it there and have Ubuntu and the Ubuntu Media edition. But if you select the partition that Ubuntu is on then yes you will write over it and delete everything on that partition. | 03:15 |
| kitty_ | ok thats helpful, is there a way to get tune2fs to report the current configuration ? | 03:15 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: well, there is quassel for KDE4.. the idea is like koknversation, its just that it does NOT work... that makes it a bit crap.. | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: does not work what? | 03:15 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, kk, thanks mate | 03:15 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, also, one more question | 03:16 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: and quassel I had that open briefuly, and was like no thanks, and back to Konversation | 03:16 |
| booksbuggy | lstarnes: everytime when i try to use "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" i get a fatal error saying that /etc/postfix/main.cf is not found | 03:16 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, i'm going to overwrite this ubuntu partition, so how can i be able to access my vista partition from it? | 03:16 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, have a tut? | 03:16 |
| lstarnes | booksbuggy: you could try uninstalling or reinstalling postfix | 03:16 |
| kseise_ | #synce | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !info postfix | 03:16 |
| booksbuggy | lstarnes: i don' t have internet connection | 03:16 |
| ubottu | postfix (source: postfix): High-performance mail transport agent. In component main, is optional. Version 2.5.5-1.1 (jaunty), package size 1190 kB, installed size 2936 kB | 03:17 |
| kitty_ | ah, -l /dev/sda1 (/me stabs*) | 03:17 |
| ldiamond | Anyone know why a program running on Wine can't listen on a port (62415 here) | 03:17 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, ^ | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | booksbuggy: postfix is for email. are you evenneeding it? | 03:17 |
| mzz | kitty_: you might need dumpe2fs for that, but again I strongly recommend you just free up some space (just killing those old kernels may suffice) | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | ldiamond: try asking in #winehq ? | 03:17 |
| mzz | kitty_: you also seem to have bits of both kde and gnome installed, some cleanup in that area may help too | 03:17 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: If you use it for like a little while its okay.. The problems start with the bugs.. Joining a channel takes like 2-5 minutes, don't ask me why.. | 03:17 |
| kitty_ | that freed up about 360Mb for now, but it's reserving like 400 | 03:17 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: joining also puts your CPU usage in 99% | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: no not at all | 03:17 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: and many times you are in a channel and you cant write.. etc etc etc... | 03:18 |
| booksbuggy | Dr_Willis: /etc/postfix/main.cf is what the command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart keep on trying to open | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: I don't have any of those problems :) | 03:18 |
| kitty_ | i installed bits of kde cause it was required for some of my "educational" applications, so only what was needed was installed | 03:18 |
| TViYH^ | NvidiaUser, nevermind, i'll just find a tut myself.. | 03:18 |
| TViYH^ | later guys | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: the only problem app I have is Ubuntu's version of Firefox, when it uses a lot of CPU and makes my computer barely useable | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | booksbuggy: that command restarts all the services..if you never bothere4d to configure postfix.. then postfix is giving you that warning.. it shouldent affect networking much if at all. | 03:18 |
| kitty_ | Block count: 993920 | 03:18 |
| kitty_ | Reserved block count: 49696 | 03:18 |
| * kitty_ stabs | 03:18 | |
| booksbuggy | Dr_Willis: well i don 't know how to fix the internet connection on my linux machine | 03:18 |
| mzz | kitty_: ok, just checking. Still really weird if this happened suddenly, it's not like the amount of reserved space changes | 03:19 |
| kitty_ | this had to have changed with the latest round of kernel updates from 23 to 24 | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | booksbuggy: if you really want to find a main.cf the command 'locate main.cf' finds 3 example ones in /usr/share/postfix you could copy one over.. or just disable the postfix service if you are not using it. | 03:19 |
| kattollikisd | how do i install the last version of open office oh ubuntu 8.10? | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | booksbuggy: i doubt if postfix is causing any issues to the rest of the connection. | 03:19 |
| booksbuggy | Dr_Willis: how do i disable postfix? | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: joining a channel is instant with Konversation for me :) | 03:19 |
| mzz | kitty_: oh, how often do you use /usr/share/gnome/help/ ? :) | 03:19 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: yeah, got firefox issues as well, but LOTS worse.. the high CPU rate is because I have like 70 pages open :D the less nice issues I have deal with fonts, they slowly get messed up.. after about one hour, I cant read any text anymore, its one garbage | 03:19 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: here same, as it should be | 03:19 |
| kitty_ | lol, not too often, i prefer man pages myself, | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: yep a lot of tabs open and it can go bad | 03:20 |
| mzz | kitty_: check /var/cache/ for any remaining obvious cruft, and please rerun sudo du -max /|sort -n|tail -n100|pastebinit now that you've killed those stray kernel bits | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: however it's also not the version directly from Mozilla, but similar | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | booksbuggy: you could remove it with 'sudo apt-get remove postfix' if you are not needing it.. and nothing else depends on it. but some other services may 'depend' on it. even if its not being used. | 03:20 |
| booksbuggy | Dr_Willis: oh | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: installing from the tar.gz might help. or even getting whatever is the current development version of Firefox 3.5 installed | 03:20 |
| burbuja | hi is there a spanish ubuntu chanell, please? | 03:21 |
| lstarnes | !es | burbuja | 03:21 |
| ubottu | burbuja: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 03:21 |
| burbuja | thanks a lot | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | booksbuggy: theres some command to disable services from the runlevels - but i dont rember it.. | 03:21 |
| booksbuggy | Dr_Willis: even in 8.10? | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: here same, as it should be? what was that a reply to | 03:21 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: FF is already at 3.5? geez... Im stuck at 3.0 I think.. | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: no Firefox 3.5 is not out yet | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | booksbuggy: depends on what the box is doing.. if you need postfix or not. | 03:21 |
| NvidiaUser | TViYH^ I'm back. If you select the Ubuntu Partition and not the windows one you'll be fine. And then you'll need to reinstall Grub and have it show Windows 7 on the bootloader screen. | 03:21 |
| mzz | phoenixz: 3.5 is in beta | 03:21 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: joinging a channel is instantly, as it should be | 03:22 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: ,but even development versions of Firefox in my experience, have been pretty stable | 03:22 |
| booksbuggy | Dr_Willis: oh | 03:22 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixz: altough so far only ran those on Windows | 03:22 |
| mzz | phoenixz: (and 3.1 up to 3.4 were skipped, because who needs sane version numbers anyway) | 03:22 |
| phoenixz | they should have better gnome and KDE integration in firefox, by the way.. AND the every page in a separate process too, would be very very nice! | 03:22 |
| burbuja | hey I said to my friend that 30GB are not enough for xp an ubuntu, is it right? | 03:22 |
| phoenixz | mzz: yeah.. firefox is very creative! with version numbers.. Next firefox will be 7.. then the next one after that 5... | 03:23 |
| burbuja | and 300MB RAM | 03:23 |
| mzz | phoenixz: doing one page per process is hard because the underlying ui code and all extensions (which are mostly equivalent really) see one dom tree per window, with the pages pretty much part of that. | 03:23 |
| DaZ| | burbuja: 30gb is enough | 03:23 |
| sebsebseb | burbuja: 30GB is a lot for Ubuntu | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | burbuja: you can have a useable ubuntu sustem on 10gb hd.. | 03:23 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: well.. could be.. 10GB linux, 20 windows.. the 20 windows you then mount in ubuntu | 03:23 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: that way, in ubuntu you can access the entire 30GB | 03:23 |
| mord | no-remote -ProfileManager %u" and only allow flash on one profile :) | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | given how cheap HD's are... and what i do.. i can fill up 30gb.. real fast. | 03:23 |
| mzz | phoenixz: so if you do one process per page (page per process, huh, I must be tired :P) you either get lots of inter-process communication (which you'd have to get fast and deadlock-free) or massive api breakage affecting many extensions | 03:24 |
| raylu | mzz: speaking of sane version numbers... ubuntu... | 03:24 |
| sebsebseb | burbuja: 30GB is loads for Ubuntu, unless you got home inside / and then start filling it up with massive files or something | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | raylu: the Date of release as a version # isent logical enough? :) | 03:24 |
| mzz | raylu: heh, at least there's a pattern to those | 03:24 |
| burbuja | phoenixz: I know that it is possible but it is a few .... I would say | 03:25 |
| raylu | i'm also reminded of winamp combining features from 2 and 3 to make winamp 5. | 03:25 |
| sebsebseb | burbuja: the swap space, 12GB or so / and big seperate home, that would be a good set up | 03:25 |
| phoenixz | mzz: they ARE actually working on that already, read it somewhere but dunno the link anymore | 03:25 |
| burbuja | and 300MB RAM? | 03:25 |
| mzz | raylu: (I guess we're supposed to read "3.5" as "halfway from 3 to 4", but at the same time you get 3.0.9, 3.0.10, etc, so huh) | 03:25 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: its a few wha? | 03:25 |
| hderms | how can i purge all my nvidia files | 03:25 |
| hderms | and xorg configurations | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | how do you get '300' mb of ram? :) thats an odd # | 03:25 |
| mzz | phoenixz: want the link? I should have it in my history | 03:25 |
| sebsebseb | burbuja: 1GB swap in your case since 300MB RAM | 03:25 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: 300MB is not much but should be workable | 03:25 |
| mzz | phoenixz: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Content_Processes | 03:25 |
| phoenixz | mzz: uuww... don't remember.. I read about it like 1,5-2 weeks ago | 03:25 |
| booksbuggy | well at least he doesn 't only have 256 | 03:26 |
| burbuja | well the problem is my friend is mexican | 03:26 |
| burbuja | he will need spanish support | 03:26 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: me too.. sort of.. :) | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !es | burbuja | 03:26 |
| ubottu | burbuja: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 03:26 |
| burbuja | :D | 03:26 |
| phoenixz | !es | burbuja | 03:26 |
| burbuja | yes yes | 03:26 |
| cfedde | wow! remove and re-install restricted extras and the flash plugin and it seems to work again | 03:26 |
| burbuja | ok | 03:26 |
| phoenixz | Dr_Willis: damn you're fast! | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | phoenixz: :) | 03:26 |
| burbuja | phoenixz: I have 320 GB | 03:26 |
| burbuja | so 30are a few | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | phoenixz: No Hablo! | 03:26 |
| phoenixz | Dr_Willis: no more coffee for you | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | phoenixz: :( ill just go drink my ovatine and go to sleep then. :) | 03:27 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: 320GB.. I suppose you're talking about your harddrive.. if youre talking RAM I want to be your boyfriend.. :D | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Night all.. | 03:27 |
| burbuja | sure sda2 | 03:27 |
| storbeck | Dr_Willis always leave whenever I join | 03:27 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: in any case, mounting NTFS really isnt a big deal anymore | 03:28 |
| burbuja | sda | 03:28 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: 30GB is more more more than enough for both winXP and ubuntu | 03:28 |
| burbuja | phoenixz: I installed my linux on master drive :( | 03:28 |
| kitty_ | mzz : http://pastebin.com/f66e051c2 i'm gonna go for the headers next | 03:28 |
| burbuja | muy bien phoenixz | 03:28 |
| burbuja | gracias | 03:28 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: first install XP, let it have 20GB for fun.. then you install ubuntu, let it have the other 10GB, it will install a boot menu and you can choose during startup which of the 2 you want to use | 03:29 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: 300MB also should be enough for ubuntu.. its not a lot but it will work | 03:29 |
| hderms | how can i purge all my nvidia files | 03:29 |
| hderms | and xorg configurations | 03:29 |
| mzz | kitty_: yeah, kill three out of four /usr/src/linux-headers-* trees | 03:29 |
| hderms | so that i have a clean X | 03:29 |
| hderms | is there a good xorg configure tool? | 03:29 |
| phoenixz | hderms: the xorg config is in /etc/X11/ | 03:30 |
| sam_ | where can i download a dock? | 03:30 |
| arand | phoenixz: 300mb, I thought 4gb was ~min | 03:30 |
| burbuja | phoenixz: and swap? | 03:30 |
| eseven73 | is there a way to create a symlink to another directory but NOT have it create a directory? Like I need photos from /home/eseven73/Pictures to go to /var/www/images/ but NOT /var/www/images/SYMLINK_DIRECTORY/ | 03:30 |
| hderms | phoenixz: i know ive deleted it | 03:30 |
| hderms | but if i keep installing nvidia drivers | 03:30 |
| hderms | they will not wrok | 03:30 |
| hderms | work | 03:30 |
| hderms | and i'd like to have hardware acceleration | 03:30 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: Put it on a partition of 500MB, should be enough | 03:30 |
| hderms | whatever ubuntu defaulted to seemed to work | 03:30 |
| eseven73 | !enter | hderms | 03:30 |
| ubottu | hderms: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:30 |
| kitty_ | k, thanks mzz | 03:30 |
| kitty_ | you've been of much helps | 03:31 |
| phoenixz | hderms: check for restricted hardware drivers.. AFAIK, NVIDIA has 2 different drivers, the open source one and hte resttricted closed one | 03:31 |
| mzz | kitty_: I wonder how much of /var/cache/apt can be safely removed too | 03:31 |
| ty5479 | Does anybody have a guide to setting up windows 7 dual boot with 9.04? I've tried useing the beta of easyBCD with no luck. Is there a way to configure gnome or lilo or anything? | 03:31 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: during installation of ubuntu, if you choose auto partitioning, ubuntu already should partition it correctly | 03:32 |
| mzz | kitty_: oh, and 30M in /root seems a bit high | 03:32 |
| ty5479 | It doesnt detect Win7 for whatever reason. | 03:32 |
| burbuja | geparted? | 03:32 |
| nomasteryoda | !gparted | 03:32 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 03:32 |
| mzz | kitty_: wait what, /root/.wine? Please don't do that | 03:32 |
| phoenixz | ty5479: oh wonder... windows 7 does not let it self be installed parrallel to something else? really? | 03:32 |
| burbuja | phoenixz: he has xp now | 03:32 |
| burbuja | I mean he would like to resize it | 03:32 |
| burbuja | withou reinstalling | 03:32 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: no problem.. you dont need gparted | 03:32 |
| treyh | anyone know of a link to get aircrack and etc. working to crack wep's on Jaunty? | 03:32 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: just download and use the live CD | 03:33 |
| burbuja | yes, this is what I told him | 03:33 |
| kitty_ | i accidently did a wine cmd from root shell | 03:33 |
| mzz | treyh: aww, don't crack those poor weps, it happens to them so often already... also, !piracy may apply here | 03:33 |
| * phoenixz mumbles something to treyh about legal stuff.. | 03:33 | |
| === ivantis is now known as EvanCarrol | ||
| burbuja | ok, he runs ths live CD and then? | 03:33 |
| kitty_ | and i have a bootable grub iso builder in my /root folder | 03:33 |
| === EvanCarrol is now known as EvanCarrol1 | ||
| kitty_ | which is the 30Mb | 03:33 |
| treyh | mzz: it's for security testing, not actual hacking lol | 03:33 |
| burbuja | where has he to start the installation? | 03:33 |
| mzz | kitty_: nope, 24M out of the 30M is /root/.wine :) | 03:33 |
| treyh | i enjoy not being in prison lol | 03:33 |
| kitty_ | ok well anyways thanks mzz | 03:33 |
| kitty_ | maybe i deleted it in my attempt to free space ! ;P | 03:34 |
| === EvanCarrol1 is now known as ivantis | ||
| phoenixz | burbuja: you can then in the installer say howmuch you want for ubuntu.. The installer will automatically resize windowsXP to a "better" size, so that there is space for ubuntu to install itself.. | 03:34 |
| kitty_ | thanks again | 03:34 |
| * kitty_ waves | 03:34 | |
| mzz | np | 03:34 |
| burbuja | and defragmentation? | 03:34 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: just make sure that, obviously, there is 10GB free in windows XP, if you want 10GB for ubuntu, since the installer, obviously again, won't delete stuff... :) | 03:34 |
| burbuja | of xp? | 03:34 |
| burbuja | sorry I did not used ubuntu | 03:35 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: not needed, the isntaller will nicely move everything (practically, defrag it automatically for you) | 03:35 |
| burbuja | :O | 03:35 |
| === gustavo is now known as gubuntero | ||
| burbuja | waw very nice | 03:35 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: just use the live cd.. thats all you need, everything will go automatically from there | 03:35 |
| burbuja | may be I will change to ubuntu | 03:35 |
| burbuja | :( | 03:35 |
| yankefish | hey guys i have a ? about installing ubuntu | 03:35 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: even the boot menu will be automatically.. after installation, you reboot and you can choose: windows or ubuntu | 03:36 |
| yankefish | i have a 30 gb partation how should i split it | 03:36 |
| * phoenixz whispers something about kubuntu, KDE is cool... | 03:36 | |
| arand | phoenixz burbuja: I would actually recommend closer to 20-30GB in an xp partition, if it's going to be used regularly... (from personal experience) | 03:36 |

| phoenixz | arand: burbuja: isnt that what I said? 10GB for ubuntu, 20 for XP... if you want to resize later, you can do that using gparted | 03:37 |
| burbuja | ok :) | 03:37 |
| yankefish | ok i have a 30 gb partation i want to know how much the swap should be, as the ext3 | 03:37 |
| panfist | where could i find log information relating to my window decorator starting up / crashing | 03:37 |
| phoenixz | arand: burbuja: gparted is like.. using a club for brain surgery, but it works.. I'd prefer LVM but that is still not standard supported in the live CD :( | 03:37 |
| ShexNivis | yankefish: how much you got from ram? | 03:37 |
| yankefish | 4 gb ram | 03:37 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: howmuch ram? | 03:37 |
| arand | phoenixz: oh, I thogh you said something about 10gb, nvm | 03:37 |

| ddoom | I have ubuntu 9.04 and a system with 3 sata hard drives, if i connect any 2 hard drives it works fine, but if i connect all 3 it fails to boot with an raid45 - unknown target type error, and it drops to EasyBox - any ideas? | 03:39 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: no, you install using a graphic utility or if you want to do command line, you use apt-get which downloads and installs everything automatically from a repository | 03:39 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: 4GB should so it | 03:39 |
| yankefish | it that primary or logical | 03:39 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: anything more than 4GB takes the use out of swap.. more then 4GB swap is bad idea :) | 03:39 |
| Rafael_ | how cn i place link of a text that i would like to ask that is long | 03:39 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: does not matter.. | 03:39 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: if you can, try using LVM, makes it MUCH easier to resize later | 03:39 |
| arand | yankefish: general guideline is swap ~ double ram size, you'll need at least equal or more than ram if you plan on using hibernation, and yet more if you know that you use applications that could eat memory... | 03:39 |
| burbuja | yes I love graphics installer | 03:40 |
| phoenixz | arand: hibernate does not copy to swap, does it? | 03:40 |
| burbuja | phoenixz: I have now separated /home | 03:40 |
| phoenixz | arand: and more than 4GB swap really is not a good idea | 03:40 |
| burbuja | how can I clean it before installing ubuntu? | 03:40 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: excuseme? how? | 03:40 |
| cfedde | on the other hand having a system that is actively using a lot of swap is considered a bad thing. | 03:41 |

| phoenixz | burbuja: you have linux installed already, but a different distrubution or somehting? | 03:41 |
| burbuja | yes | 03:41 |
| arand | phoenixz: it does and you need swap > ram for hibernation to work... | 03:41 |
| burbuja | different distro | 03:41 |

| ShexNivis | phoenixz: hey, do you think it is a bad thing to have /, /home and swap at a extended partition? or does not really matter either if they are a primary or extended? | 03:41 |
| cfedde | phoenixz: been there. done that. | 03:41 |
| burbuja | sorry my first questions ware for my friend | 03:42 |
| burbuja | these are for me | 03:42 |
| ShexNivis | phoenixz: extended partitions* | 03:42 |
| burbuja | I have 320GB HDD | 03:42 |
| phoenixz | ShexNivis: does not really matter.. but for practicals sake, I'd recommend you to take a look at LVM | 03:42 |
| yankefish | nah new install | 03:42 |
| burbuja | 40GB system | 03:42 |
| arand | One could use swapfile, but that won't work with hibernation (something that's planned to work in the future..) | 03:42 |
| yankefish | after i create the swap file what is next | 03:42 |
| ShexNivis | phoenixz: got any good reference link about LVM? | 03:42 |

| CoJaBo-Aztec | Ok, loading a page in Firefox crashes the system, any suggestions on how to find out why? | 03:42 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: I just finished installing kubuntu using LVM.. all my partitions can now easily be resized.. the install is a little tricky but there is a good tutorial on the subject | 03:43 |
| yankefish | Phoenixz i have already booted the live cd, created a 4 gb swap file now what do i do | 03:44 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: burbuja: ShexNivis: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem just remember to ALSO do a vgchange -a y at the end of that tutorial! | 03:44 |
| xy|ox | CoJaBo-Aztec, take a look at error console | 03:44 |
| burbuja | thanks | 03:44 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: AFAIK, the ubuntu installer auto partitioning should be able to specify that all for you, no? | 03:44 |
| Xpistos | can someone tell me how to view all of my shared folders in ubuntu? | 03:44 |

| yankefish | it keeps saying to make a root file | 03:45 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | xy|ox: How? | 03:45 |
| arand | yankefish: are you using advanced installer? | 03:45 |
| yankefish | ok guys how many partations do i need to install ubuntu | 03:46 |
| ubugtu | is jaunty more secure than intrepid or hardy? | 03:46 |
| phoenixz | ShexNivis: the lvm tutorial is a bit tricky, won't recomend it to newbies, but if you think you can do it, I really do recommend it! | 03:46 |
| Xpistos | Stargazer: go into the control panel and switch to classic control panel. There you will find network connections | 03:46 |
| yankefish | Arand im using ubuntu live cd of main website | 03:46 |
| xy|ox | CoJaBo-Aztec, tools - error console | 03:46 |

| Seafarer | Hi Guys. Hope you don't mind my joining your conversation. I am using Ubuntu 9-4 and having difficulty connecting a wireless printer. Anyone like to chat? | 03:47 |
| yankefish | after u create a swap file what is the next step | 03:47 |
| phoenixz | ShexNivis: basically, its a layer in between your partitions and your operating system.. lets you pool all partitions together to one large volume, and from ther you can create and modify any logical volume the wya you want.. the only thing better then LVM is ZFS which, unfortunately will never come to linux Im affraid.. | 03:48 |
| phoenixz | not outside FUSE anyway | 03:48 |
| arand | yankefish: you normally need the main ubuntu partition with mountpoin root "/" then a swap, and you might want a separate partition with home "/home" which would simplify migration when reinstalling ubuntu, | 03:48 |
| SetiAmon | aye how about hygien in linux,i mean what is the equivolent of crap cleaner in linux?what program will clean the temp/log bs as well as secure deleting it | 03:48 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: I think I would recommend you the auto partitioning from the installer.. are you using hte live CD? | 03:48 |
| yankefish | yeah im using live cd | 03:48 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: then go one step back, and then for partitioning, select the auto option :) way safer! :) | 03:49 |
| ShexNivis | phoenixz: too bad some good softwares wont come to linux ; / | 03:49 |
| yankefish | i cant i have vista installed already | 03:49 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | xy|ox: Its a complete lockup, mouse pointer moves, but nothing else works. | 03:49 |
| phoenixz | ShexNivis: blame patents :) | 03:49 |
| yankefish | dont want to format my hdd thats why i created a partation myself | 03:49 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: and? so? | 03:49 |
| jmhodges | i'm looking at the apt-cache man page, but i'm not seeing this. how do i snag a listing of all teh files in an installed .deb? | 03:49 |
| burbuja | my friends heard about installing ubuntu form xp :O | 03:50 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: hahahah... forget that.. remove the partition | 03:50 |
| burbuja | *from | 03:50 |
| yankefish | so delete it and make it free space | 03:50 |
| burbuja | this is not good, right? | 03:50 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: burbuja: windows XP installed is no problem, you don;;t need to make partitions.. just reboot your machine and boot from the CD.. There you select install, and the installer will use free partition space, and if needed, move the windows partition away for you.. | 03:51 |
| carlgibson | hello, quick partition mounting question if someone has a sec | 03:51 |
| yankefish | ohh ok i see and it wont affect windows in any way | 03:51 |
| mzz | the fact that lvm volumes (and the device nodes generated for them) have readable names is already quite convenient even if you don't do anything fancy with how they're arranged over physical drives | 03:51 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: burbuja: We're talking your friendly neighbourhood super hero here... | 03:51 |
| burbuja | yes, I understand | 03:51 |
| Stargazer | Xpistos, you still there? | 03:51 |
| burbuja | I told to my friend it is bad choice to intall ubuntu within xp | 03:52 |
| burbuja | also out of xp | 03:52 |
| xy|ox | CoJaBo-Aztec, i'd try to close the tab that causes the crash, it should take its time, then console error | 03:52 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: not in anyway but that the windows partition can be made smaller if you want to.. it will automatically defragment and resize the windows partition for you, ONLY if you wish... the process is automatically, and safe but DO MAKE BACKUPS! | 03:52 |

| yankefish | ok last step i have vista as primary Os, ubuntu has options to install boot loader should i or just use vista boot loader | 03:53 |

| === carlgibson is now known as rkitect | ||
| yankefish | aight thx | 03:54 |

| yankefish | now where can i get some cool appz 4 ubuntu | 03:54 |
| xy|ox | CoJaBo-Aztec, try another browser if its the same, its just a bad page, i wouldnt visit anymore | 03:54 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: burbuja: any problems you encounter during installation, you can always come here to IRC | 03:54 |
| yankefish | Phoenixz thx 4 all da help also | 03:55 |

| burbuja | you are very friendly :) | 03:55 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: apt-get (command line) or synaptics (ubuntu graphical interface) or kpackage (kubuntu) | 03:55 |

| yankefish | is there anyways to make ubuntu reconize my ntfs files | 03:55 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: ubuntu does not work like windows where you go to website and download an exe.. you can install directly from the command line, or from a package manager program | 03:55 |
| phoenixz | burbuja: np, here to help | 03:56 |
| burbuja | :) | 03:56 |
| arand | yankefish: or simply use the add/remove programs from main menu | 03:56 |
| phoenixz | arand: sorry, dont understand :) | 03:56 |
| yankefish | aight thx guys | 03:56 |
| yankefish | what about ntfs files | 03:56 |
| phoenixz | arand: that one, yea.... sorry, Im a kubuntu guy, but i thought it was called synaptics for ubuntu, no? | 03:56 |
| arand | yankefish: it will normally be ble to read your ntfs drives automatically | 03:56 |
| rCX | Sry to repeat but Is there a text editor that preserves the newlines in files? I want to avoid using unix2dos | 03:56 |
| phoenixz | yankefish: no problem, you can mount ntfs without problem | 03:56 |
| yankefish | ok thats it m8's im done thx 4 all da help | 03:57 |
| arand | phoenixz: synaptics is one level down compared to the gnome-app-install | 03:57 |

| arand | krishna3456: what kind of network are you connecting to? | 04:01 |

| phoenixz | rkitect: check the command "dmesg" before and after connecting the harddrive and see hwat the kernel says about detecting it | 04:01 |
| rkitect | phoenixz: sorry, did i say fstab -l, i meant fdisk -l | 04:01 |
| krishna3456 | broadband using modem | 04:02 |
| phoenixz | losher: not entirely I suppose.. depends a bit on developers and packagers, both need to consider that | 04:02 |
| phoenixz | rkitect: check dmesg | 04:02 |
| rkitect | phoenixz: the physical disk was showing up earlier, but now it's not. checking now | 04:02 |
| ubugtu | is jaunty more secure than intrepid or hardy? | 04:02 |
| phoenixz | rkitect: dmesg should say that it detected the disk and made it available, or complain with errors | 04:02 |
| arand | phoenixz: not many problems for me, but it does seem something is frequently borking sound, whether it's pulse or something else idk | 04:03 |
| phoenixz | ubugtu: I suppose each subsequent version SHOULD be more secure.. :) but thats a wild guess | 04:03 |
| g0wda | anyone know what segment fault is?? | 04:03 |

| rkitect | try a couple of other things first real quic, thanks for getting me this far | 04:09 |
| phoenixz | krishna3456: you might consider running it then from a shell with sudo gnome_network_applet I suppose? | 04:09 |

| wheelie207 | I tried compiz before and didn't like it and disabled it.. | 04:11 |
| phoenixz | doc|laptop: crap, I cant find the link anymore! well, basically, you have to install the 2.6.30 kernel from launchpad, and then add these repos to apt sources.list, and then apt-get update.. deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main #xorg-edgers PPA and deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main #xorg-edgers PPA | 04:12 |

| doc|laptop | phoenixz: great, thanks | 04:13 |
| Barridus | i usually have compiz off, and when/if i have it on it's fairly conservative settings, i find it distracting generally | 04:13 |
| doc|laptop | phoenixz: is that being added into default any time soon do you know? | 04:13 |
| phoenixz | doc|laptop: youd have to look for the 2.6.30 kernel yourself, but it should be the files linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc5_2.6.30-020630rc5_all.deb, linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc5-generic_2.6.30-020630rc5_i386.deb andlinux-image-2.6.30-020630rc5-generic_2.6.30-020630rc5_i386.deb | 04:13 |
| krishna3456 | anyone has any possible explanation for my problem? | 04:13 |
| arand | phoenixz: doc|laptop I think there are patched versions of the intell drivers in jaunty-proposed as well which you might want to try first... | 04:13 |
| phoenixz | doc|laptop: 2.6.30? noway, not till 9.10 anyway | 04:13 |
| doc|laptop | arand: thanks | 04:13 |
| doc|laptop | phoenixz: argh, ok, thank you | 04:13 |
| phoenixz | doc|laptop: besides, this is EXPIRIMENTAL.. It was recommended to me, I tried it and iti works great! Look at this smile! :D | 04:14 |
| doc|laptop | phoenixz: :) | 04:14 |
| pegon | wheelie207, and Barridus...I usually have it on but I am seeing a major speed difference when it is on and off | 04:14 |
| phoenixz | doc|laptop: then again, it might send your harddrive to hell.. in any case, don't blame the messenger (That would be me)! :) | 04:14 |
| doc|laptop | phoenixz: hehe, ok, thanks again | 04:14 |
| wheelie207 | it really slows down the system when using compiz... | 04:15 |
| phoenixz | arand: doc|laptop: correct, there are multiple solutions availabe, and in all honesty, I'd try mine at the very last.. there was this page that showed like 4 solutions, but I lost it :( | 04:15 |
| phoenixz | wheelie207: using intel? | 04:15 |
| doc|laptop | no worries | 04:15 |
| Barridus | pegon, yes speed is another concern. i usally have a bunch of apps going and compiz can make it choke up a bit. i'll take speed over pretty any day, but that's just me | 04:15 |
| wheelie207 | yes.. | 04:15 |
| phoenixz | wheelie207: intel graphics? | 04:15 |

| S_A | Hi! I am using 8.10 and facing issue with network configuration. Everytime I reboot i need to specify my static IP again. What is the solution ? | 04:15 |

| === fabricio is now known as vallim | ||
| wheelie207 | yes | 04:15 |
| Frijolie | my laptop sits idle and the system monitor says that both of my CPUs are ~50% | 04:16 |
| phoenixz | wheelie207: ow, in that case, never mind.. this was only about intel GPU :_ | 04:16 |
| Frijolie | how do you tell what's sucking up most of my clock cycles? | 04:16 |
| phoenixz | Frijolie: system monitor, or in a text console, try "top" | 04:16 |
| phoenixz | god, Im fast today | 04:16 |
| Madpilot | Frijolie, click the system monitor, it'll give you a window with app list | 04:16 |
| wheelie207 | I used system monitor or some other program to see what the system is doing.. | 04:16 |
| Frijolie | phoenixz, in the processes tab the most that it says is 7% and it's nautilus | 04:16 |
| rkitect | phoenixz: ffr; unplugging the drive, booting, then replugging the drive in (ide) after another boot brought the drive back | 04:17 |
| Barridus | Frijolie, in my experience, gnome's system monitor uses a bunch in and of itself. try top, or preferrably atop | 04:17 |
| wheelie207 | you can see whats running when using top.. | 04:17 |
| Alex_21 | Hi, I get the following: "songbird: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when loading Songbird. What can I do? | 04:17 |
| Frijolie | it saying Xorg and gnome-system-mo are taking 50% | 04:17 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 04:17 |
| phoenixz | rkitect: might be a kernel borkup on drive status... specially if you disconnected a mounted drive, heard that more.. unfortunately, a reboot is then requiered | 04:17 |
| Roasted | I'm seeing here Ubuntu is using two ways to add up the amount of data I'm using. System monitor uses GiB. Properties of a hard drive uses GB. Properties of my home directory says 171.4 GB while system monitor of the same disk says 184.1 GiB. Which one is more accurate to go by? | 04:17 |
| cellofellow | I know my ~/.Private directory passphrase, but I need to set up my ecryptfs configuration with it. | 04:17 |
| Frijolie | and that's idle! what about when I'm doing encoding or something. My lappy runs really hot...so hot i'm afraid | 04:18 |
| phoenixz | Roasted: GiB should be factors of 1024, GB 1000.. | 04:18 |
| Barridus | Frijolie, gnome-system-monitor? use "top" or "atop" as a system monitor instead. | 04:18 |
| arand | wheelie207: doc|laptop: two options you could try which are fairly simple is either adding the jaunty-proposed repository and installing the "not-yet-fully-tested" patch which exists, or you could look at this pagehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance particularly at the end, the description on how to change back to intrepid driver... | 04:18 |
| phoenixz | Roasted: both should be equally acurrate | 04:18 |
| rkitect | phoenixz: it almost acted like it didn't unmount when i halted earlier and couldn't reinitialize it | 04:18 |
| Frijolie | yeah, top says Xorg ~42% | 04:18 |
| rkitect | phoenixz: either way, scare is over, back to getting it to automount | 04:18 |
| phoenixz | rkitect: yeah, kernel frackup | 04:19 |
| rkitect | phoenixz: thanks again | 04:19 |
| Frijolie | only thing I got open is a terminal window and xchat | 04:19 |
| Roasted | phoenixz - is there any way to change either style so I can have them BOTH be GB or GiB? | 04:19 |
| wheelie207 | I run 2 gigs of mem on my system.. | 04:19 |
| Frijolie | those don't even register a %, Xorg supposed to be that big of a hog? | 04:19 |
| phoenixz | Frijolie: oh boy.. using intel GPU? | 04:19 |
| Frijolie | yes | 04:19 |
| doc|laptop | phoenixz: thanks, have bookmarked it. Have to run now so will take a look later. | 04:19 |
| Frijolie | phoenixz, yes | 04:19 |
| wheelie207 | I don't remember the app that give a detail view of the system.. | 04:20 |
| phoenixz | Frijolie: no, X is a nice lean mean machine.. problem is that 9.04 has some borked up intel GPU driverss | 04:20 |
| Alex_21 | Does anyone know why I get "songbird: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when running Songbird? | 04:20 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 04:20 |
| phoenixz | arand: could you send the same suggestion about intel GPU to Frijolie? | 04:20 |
| S_A | Hi! Any suggestions to the issue I asked ? | 04:20 |
| wheelie207 | are you using propriety drivers or open source | 04:20 |
| phoenixz | Alex_21: sounds like a missing library file.. how did you install the thing? | 04:20 |
| phoenixz | S_A: My long term memory holds about 15 lines.. your question was from way before that! | 04:21 |
| arand | Frijolie: two options you could try which are fairly simple is either adding the jaunty-proposed repository and installing the not-yet-fully-tested patch which exists, or you could look at this pagehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance particularly at the end, the description on how to change back to intrepid driver... | 04:21 |
| S_A | Hi! I am using 8.10 and facing issue with network configuration. Everytime I reboot i need to specify my static IP again. What is the solution ? | 04:21 |
| Alex_21 | I made my own .deb file | 04:21 |
| Alex_21 | There is none for my archetecture | 04:22 |
| S_A | Network Manager always berings back to DHCP configuration on reboots | 04:22 |
| Frijolie | phoenixz, are they going to get those "borked" Intel drivers fixed shortly? | 04:22 |
| S_A | brings* | 04:22 |
| Naynay | Got a question:- Why does mounting an iso in Ubuntu (using a right click on an iso file) result in a mounted directory full of filenames with weird ;1 extensions? | 04:22 |
| phoenixz | Alex_21: there you go.. :) check for the missing library file, you will find that its.. eh.. missing.. :) Then try to see why its expected there and who / what should have put it there.. | 04:22 |
| * arand thinks something like that should be added as !intel ... | 04:22 | |
| phoenixz | Frijolie: Its a work in progress afaik.. I resolved it myself with switching to a 2.6.30 kernel (you are at 2.6.28 atm) | 04:23 |
| S_A | phoenixz: SOS! 15 lines will go away soon :) | 04:23 |
| phoenixz | arand: AMEN! | 04:23 |
| Alex_21 | Where do I locate the file? | 04:23 |
| Alex_21 | I've never packaged anything before | 04:23 |
| xy|ox | S_A, open network manager config tool, or just edit /etc/network/interfaces | 04:23 |
| vallim | some are from Brasil? | 04:23 |
| Frijolie | phoenixz, i followed Intel Performance tutorial in the forums and got Compiz working again | 04:23 |
| phoenixz | S_A: network manager.. you could specify it manually in /etc/network/interfaces | 04:23 |
| Frijolie | phoenixz, got some rc kernel or something | 04:23 |

| phoenixz | vallim: but you're very welcome here in english! :) | 04:24 |
| S_A | phoenixz: I did that but /etc/resolv.conf was clear in morning | 04:24 |
| arand | Frijolie: one patch ( I don't know if it is *the patch*) is in the proposed updates atm, I'm not sure why it's not been pushed out to regular updates though... | 04:24 |
| S_A | phoenixz: although I specified manually. it again cleared on reboot. | 04:24 |
| S_A | phoenixz: I am sure this must be a common problem for 8.10. | 04:25 |
| phoenixz | S_A: if you modify that file, you're going manual.. make sure you have a backup of that file when using DHCP, then disable network manager (make sure it does not start up again) and modify the etc/network/interfaces file | 04:25 |
| Alex_21 | Where do I find the library to fix "songbird: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"? Please | 04:25 |

| Barridus | phoenixz, hehe you're a trooper, compiz was borked to hell on my geforce4, was a pain to fix XD | 04:29 |
| BiosElement | phoenixz: all. Or so said the warning. I went and my non-root account can make/delete files there but it wasn't recursive thankfully. | 04:29 |
| Frijolie | phoenixz, alright, shall I roll everything back? I have proposed repos selected... | 04:30 |
| Barridus | BiosElement, is this in terminal or gnome | 04:30 |
| phoenixz | Barridus: hell, I had that machine with 5 geforce 4 cards, running 5x X for 5 independent users with compiz effects, giving one computer to 5 people.. too bad that project went to frack :'( | 04:30 |
| BiosElement | Barridus, Gnome but I can test via terminal if you'd like. | 04:30 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | hi folks | 04:31 |

| Frijolie | phoenixz, alright...no hurry | 04:32 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | except fingerprint logon | 04:32 |

| Barridus | Frijolie, what was gnome's cpu usage with compiz on before these "fixes" you did? | 04:32 |

| vallim | I have a friend did exchange for Mexico.......he liked the country very..... | 04:33 |
| Barridus | Frijolie, could be a poorly configured driver causing it | 04:33 |
| phoenixz | sil3nt|warri0r: can't help you there but if you find anything (there should be actually), please let me know, sounds interresting | 04:33 |

| hhh | ziroday:after that what should i do.how to check whether it is cleared or not | 04:42 |
| phoenixz | Madpilot: wohoo! :) | 04:42 |
| phoenixz | Madpilot: My first tells! more or less.. | 04:43 |
| ziroday | hhh: well a dialog box will appear, tick the cache box, hit okay and then try to access gmail again | 04:43 |
| hhh | ziroday:i did not get any dialog box. | 04:43 |
| Madpilot | phoenixz, after having issues with ATI cards on and off in previous Ubuntu releases, I'm just somewhat amused that my card works perfectly with Free drivers now, and Intel users have issues... | 04:44 |
| ziroday | hhh: in firefox go to Tools > Clear Private Data, do you get a dialog box? | 04:44 |
| hhh | ziroday:yes now what should i do | 04:44 |
| ziroday | hhh: tick the Cache and Cookies option, and then hit okay | 04:44 |
| panfist | i can enable normal and extra visual effects and experience them just fine, but whenever I reboot it resets to none and other parts of my desktop environment don't come up unless i explicitly start them | 04:45 |
| phoenixz | Madpilot: its just intel who in a mood of critical insanety decided to remove that which works for this which is better, but doesn't work yet.. | 04:45 |
| hhh | ziroday:ok now i should restart my gmail account ? | 04:45 |
| phoenixz | Madpilot: actually, if you ask me, you even might add a notion about this problem in the welcome messages of the channel.. | 04:46 |
| vallim | phoenixz: I agree with you...I love google. how long do you use Linux? | 04:46 |
| phoenixz | When I found the problem myself, I was in this channel too (2 weeks ago) for hours, with like 10 other people, trying to find what the hell was wrong | 04:46 |
| pwasek08 | Where can i find a good howto guide for postfix | 04:47 |
| phoenixz | vallim: some... ehh.. when was redhat 9? 5-6 years or something? | 04:47 |
| oOarthurOo | I can't change the cpu speed using "sudo echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" ... it still tells me permission denied | 04:47 |
| oOarthurOo | what happened to my sudo powers? | 04:47 |
| mavann | anyone know why moving large files from hd to another would lag out Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty? | 04:47 |
| phoenixz | pwasek08: google for "howto guide postfix" I think.. | 04:47 |
| hhh | ziroday:thank you,now its working,can u tell me how to uninstall netbeans ? | 04:47 |
| phoenixz | oOarthurOo: kryptonite.. | 04:47 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | lol | 04:47 |
| oOarthurOo | more like ubunewbite | 04:47 |
| ziroday | hhh: sudo apt-get remove netbeans ? | 04:48 |
| phoenixz | mavann: as in, make the system non responsive? | 04:48 |
| storbeck_ | woot, I finally got my laptop to boot up on a livecd | 04:48 |
| ziroday | oOarthurOo: sudo and > don't play nice. One sec | 04:48 |
| Manelvallet | is this only for linux, or macs are allowed? | 04:48 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | phoenixz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger | 04:48 |
| mavann | yes phoenixz | 04:48 |
| phoenixz | mavann: there'se an interresting question.. I was moving an svk repository, like 200.000 small files.. immediately, the system was non responsivev.. even the mouse went haywire.. | 04:48 |
| Madpilot | phoenixz, not sure it's so widespread as to require adding to /topic or the welcome message, really. the new tell will help a lot, though. | 04:48 |
| vallim | I don't know....hehehehe.......did use already | 04:48 |
| storbeck_ | Manelvallet: I don't even use Ubuntu :) | 04:48 |
| vallim | ops.....sorry | 04:48 |
| phoenixz | Madpilot: it will! At least we have something to quickly refer to.. | 04:49 |
| mavann | happens often | 04:49 |
| vallim | have you been use Debian? | 04:49 |
| Manelvallet | storebeck neither do I | 04:49 |
| mavann | when I am moving pictures or large movie files | 04:49 |
| phoenixz | vallim: no, redhat, fedora and ubuntu, though debian should be very similar since ubuntu stems from it | 04:49 |
| coreyman | what's the command so i can view my network settings IE: ip address | 04:50 |
| arand | Manelvallet: if you stray to far from ubuntu-related stuff you might get warned, but otherwise, feel at home :) | 04:50 |
| ziroday | oOarthurOo: do sudo -i to get to a root shell and then run that command | 04:50 |
| hhh | ziroday:thank you | 04:50 |
| Manelvallet | arand is a mac ubuntu related? | 04:50 |
| ziroday | coreyman: ifconfig | 04:50 |
| phoenixz | mavann: can't tell you, really what could cause it.. i've seen it myself as well.. if you find out, please do let me know | 04:51 |
| * Manelvallet uses a mac | 04:51 | |

| coreyman | ziroday thx | 04:51 |
| eross | anyone elses' sound not working with jaunty? | 04:51 |
| mavann | I have checked to see if anything else is taking resources at the time but nothing else is running | 04:51 |
| oOarthurOo | thanks ziroday that's the answer. echo performance | sudo tee -a /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor works. Yours would probably work too, but I want to avoid violating too many ubuntu rules of good behaviour :) | 04:51 |
| storbeck_ | eross: no | 04:51 |
| eross | movie player shows the volume moving but i can't get any audio | 04:51 |
| ziroday | oOarthurOo: heh | 04:51 |
| storbeck_ | eross: check it out in alsamixer, make sure nothing is 'MM' | 04:52 |
| mavann | it did not happen with intrepid though only with jaunty | 04:52 |
| panfist | why must i re-enable normal visual effects each time i log in | 04:52 |
| Manelvallet | üßüñ†ü | 04:52 |
| Manelvallet | I have a question, does linux use ubuntu? | 04:52 |
| ejv | yes it does :p | 04:53 |
| eross | PCM is blanked out, wont let me adjust it | 04:53 |
| Manelvallet | and mac? | 04:53 |
| Madpilot | no, but ubuntu uses linux. nice unicode characters, btw. | 04:53 |
| vallim | I understood.....I'm liking of Linux....I'm thinking family and with good usability..... | 04:53 |
| storbeck_ | eross: Hmm, well sounds like that's where the problem is | 04:53 |

| Madpilot | coreyman, #kubuntu for you KDE addicts, plz :) | 04:58 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | Some of the tools with Kubuntu (kpackagekit and the network manager) are outright terrible. | 04:58 |
| whatvn | phoenixz: but It takes much resource: cpu, ram. low performance | 04:58 |
| phoenixz | if you want to talk to brazilian people, you can go there ^^^ | 04:59 |
| coreyman | madpilot i was just there, noone chatting. | 04:59 |

| CoJaBo-Aztec | Just wish Kubuntu had kept Adept :/ | 04:59 |
| coreyman | You don't use apt-get? | 05:00 |
| === noname is now known as Guest90256 | ||
| phoenixz | whatvn: might take a bit more ram, dunno honestly, but more CPU? I dont notice it! KDE is still under development, but will once again be more usable than gnome.. where gnome has 2 buttons, KDE will give me lots more options.. | 05:00 |
| schambers2 | how can I turn on the display to show me the x,y coordinates of the window im dragging and size of the window? | 05:00 |
| panfist | ok, i'm having an issue with visual effects resetting to none when i reboot. after some searching, i found compiz-check, which says I'm ok for everything...compiz-check says "texture_from_pixmap ok" and compiz --replace says "checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present" <-- why would this happen | 05:00 |
| === eobanb_ is now known as eobanb | ||
| phoenixz | gnome is perfect for beginners or people who like it simple.. I like it more.. with more options | 05:00 |
| vallim | I prefer to use this topics for to practice my english.....do you understand me?! | 05:00 |
| phoenixz | CoJaBo-Aztec: yeah, thast a whole other discussion Im affraid, though since they kicked adept (and tried like 4 other package managers) I've gotten a whole lot better with apt-get :) | 05:01 |
| vallim | here in Brazil is hard practice for me practice my English | 05:01 |

| phoenixz | I think I actually did :) | 05:04 |
| coreyman | People think they are hardcore for using gnome rather than having a great looking kde interface. | 05:04 |
| factotum | just keybind the snot out of everything | 05:05 |
| cybertronic | Anyone else having issues with Ubuntu NBR loading the gui? Its fine when I initially install it but when I reboot the taskbars are missing just a desktop background | 05:05 |
| phoenixz | coreyman: hardcore for not having the options they want to have? bwah.. I just take KDE which by now already has more options than gnome, and we're just at 4.2 yet.. wait for 4.5 :) | 05:05 |
| phoenixz | factotum: I just actually tried to imagine that.. :D | 05:05 |
| * arand thinks kde is kind of fugly, and corny... | 05:05 | |
| coreyman | yea phoenixz, they should just go pure Terminal and be real hard core, and counterproductive since you wont get anything done without a GUI | 05:06 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | lol | 05:06 |
| phoenixz | arand: everybody to its own :) I'd recommend gnome to my mom and dad.. actually, I did! thhough kde4.2 is so nice, it actually might be somehting I'd recommend today.. | 05:06 |
| factotum | haha | 05:06 |
| oddity | Hi, I installed WICD, but now can't connect to a wireless network. Does anyone know the name of the package of the default network managers? | 05:06 |
| factotum | until recenty I just went to openbox and mc, could never make up my mind between gnome and kde | 05:07 |
| phoenixz | coreyman: If you'd like.. :) look, you can fight about it all night but, if you like gnome, go ahead and use it, I won't complain.. Im not hardcore, I just like to have a few more options.. | 05:07 |

| felix_ | SorenUbuntu, no one if you dont touch the windows partition. you could install ubuntu in the same disk, but you would need to resize partitions and so. in other drive you can use it plenty, but i suggest you setting up a swap partition if you know | 05:14 |

| vallim | phoenixz: Is there some danger in a moment of compilation? for example, corrupt my hard disk | 05:25 |
| chaorain | marcus_aurelius, oh yea, only works for music not videos | 05:25 |
| she_dyed | vallim, it creates a separate object when successful. where you move that can cause damage | 05:25 |
| phoenixz | vallim: no, compiling won;t cause your harddrive to blow up... it wont cause you to wake up with a mother in law in your bed and it won't cause WW III either :) | 05:26 |

| chaorain | marcus_aurelius, Oh better option If you have an iPod http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html | 05:36 |
| losher | kanagaraj: I advice against using ext4. I don't think it's stable enough yet. | 05:36 |
| felix_ | Soren1, take the one that types correctly symbols ,:_?¿Ñ!"·$%/)=? etc (every symbol in his key) | 05:37 |
| coreyman | sometimes when i shut down my laptop... it doesn't shut down it stops at a black screen, how can i fix/tell what is causing | 05:37 |
| Soren1 | ok | 05:38 |
| oOarthurOo | kanagaraj: If you're using a laptop, use ext4. it's brilliant. Super fast checks after bad shutdowns. It's pretty speedy overall. If there are any bugs against ext4, they should be in launchpad | 05:38 |
| coreyman | oOarthurOo what about ext3? | 05:38 |
| oOarthurOo | Take a look through there if you're worried. But ext4 was the reason I switched over to Ubuntu from Debian... and it's been worth it so far. | 05:38 |
| DaZ| | ext4 likes to lose files after crash | 05:38 |
| coreyman | where would errors be in an ext3 system. | 05:39 |
| Soren1 | I chose USA USA...........seems fine | 05:39 |
| marcus_aurelius | chaorain, kinda sorta an option, but my ipod is only 8GB, and my itunes library is 30GB *sigh* | 05:39 |
| phoenixz | DaZ|: ohw? AFAIK, its just ext3 on steriods | 05:39 |
| kanagaraj | I have met with a problem that is i have downloaded some packages from universe and multiverse and i have burned it in a RW cd but when i insert it there is an error message "no packages were found" | 05:39 |
| felix_ | oOarthurOo, i agree with you. i did the same ;) | 05:39 |
| DaZ| | phoenixz: no it's not | 05:39 |
| DaZ| | it's not compatible with ext3 | 05:39 |
| coreyman | Can someone just tell me where my shutdown error logs are :( | 05:40 |
| coreyman | for EXT3 | 05:40 |
| phoenixz | DaZ|: didnt say compatible.. but its very very much based on it, lots of it is the same.. there are only some extensions | 05:40 |

| scream | losher, is the ext3/4 journal stored in a file? One that is viewable? | 05:41 |
| oOarthurOo | Guest45171: You can't install sid. You have to install testing then upgrade... and as of... last week anyway, there was no testing installer with the ability to install to an ext4 partition | 05:41 |
| Soren1 | felix_, is this trying to Re-Partition the HDD that was already Partitioned? | 05:42 |
| felix_ | Soren1, in the step of managing partitions, select manual. then double click the empty partition. set your preferred file system (ext3 for safety, ext4 for speed). set mount point to / and tick "format partition" | 05:42 |
| musikgoat|main | kanagaraj: apt looks in /var/cache/apt/archive for local packages, did you simply put a bunch of .deb's directly onto the cd? | 05:42 |
| oOarthurOo | Guest45171: You can convert ext3 to ext4, but I wanted to try it "pure". :) | 05:42 |

| Guest45171 | oOarthurOo, lol well i read there's frequent lockups though | 05:42 |
| losher | scream: great question: google says "you can use debugfs command with logdump option to view journal logs." (but they will be incomprehensible to mortals) | 05:43 |
| kanagaraj | yes i have just burned only the packages | 05:43 |
| whatvn | racecar56: you must repair grub | 05:43 |

| musikgoat|main | kanagaraj: easiest solution is to move them to the directory apt looks in | 05:43 |
| scream | losher, Inthe back of my mind, I figured the journal would be not in ASCII format that would be readable to us. :) | 05:43 |
| kanagaraj | But tell me in brief because iam a beginer | 05:43 |
| phoenixz | kanagaraj: did you just download the ubuntu installation CD? | 05:44 |

| felix_ | Soren1, in manage partitions window, you have to remove the partition if it has made. then edit it. as you are using only 10gb dedicated to ubuntu i suggest a small swap, like 1gb. you need to set up two partitions: edit the unused partition and use 9000mb for it. and use the same options i said before (/, tick). then set up another partition with the free remaining space, and use it as swap filesystem. then go forward | 05:57 |
| dtchen | bullgard4: it's a kernel thread to manage workqueues | 05:57 |
| phoenixz | ubuntu that probably does include /home! since /home is not on its own partition, and it will format the partition! | 05:57 |
| Soren1 | felix_, my brain just exploded | 05:58 |
| ubuntu | phoenixz: so.... what should I do to reinstall + preserve /home? | 05:58 |
| === ubuntu is now known as racecar56 | ||

| kanagaraj | KingKimi: Thankyou i Will try and i will be back for next confuse. | 05:58 |
| racecar56 | phoenixz: by the way it's when you attempt to install, but you say don't format it | 05:59 |
| KingKimi | kanagaraj, :D good luck | 05:59 |
| she_dyed | racecar56, maybe dump all /home on a USB stick and start clean, could be an option | 05:59 |
| phoenixz | racecar56: oh if ubuntu only had native lvm support.... I don't suppose you have another partition or space left? | 05:59 |
| bullgard4 | losher: http://paste.debian.net/36687 | 05:59 |
| phoenixz | racecar56: could be, but I'm not sure thats a good idea | 05:59 |

| bfbf | when i dd an .iso to my thumb drive it is not bootable, how do I make it bootable? | 06:00 |
| phoenixz | racecar56: then the solution is simple, ditch the windows partition ;) | 06:00 |
| felix_ | Soren1, select your partition. delete it. create an ext3 partition of 9000mb. create other partition with the free remaining space as swap. then click forward | 06:00 |
| racecar56 | phoenixz: -_- | 06:00 |
| racecar56 | phoenixz: should i move my home THERE? | 06:00 |
| bullgard4 | dtchen: Where can I probably read more about workqueues in the Linux kernel? | 06:00 |

| phoenixz | you basically say.. find all files and directories in /home, and for each one, execute chown user:user | 06:10 |
| phoenixz | racecar56: it should.. if not, try man find, to see how to include hidden files | 06:10 |

Thanks | 06:47 |
| kebomix | my thinkpad R52 , Volume Buttons don't work with new notifications system on ubuntu 9.04 ? any solution ?! | 06:48 |
| soreau | ! work | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 06:48 |
| indus | Leomar: is this jaunty 9.04 u using? | 06:49 |
| Leomar | no, 8.04 | 06:49 |

| indus | Leomar: its an external usb harddrive right? | 06:51 |
| moolah | can i download the .deb and use it somehow after copying to a USB key? | 06:51 |
| soreau | moolah: Through the CD or, you have to get the internet | 06:51 |
| Leomar | indus: no | 06:51 |
| moolah | soreau: no its not on the cd | 06:51 |
| indus | Leomar: try this sudo modprobe -i usb_storage | 06:52 |
| soreau | moolah: Yes you can get a deb, but it may rely on other deb packages to be installed | 06:52 |
| moolah | soreau: its for another comp thats offline, i need to install wicd on it, so it can go online | 06:52 |
| moolah | ah...damn | 06:52 |

| cg | hello. when mount a nfs with 'mount -o -o soft,intr,bg,timeo=50 xxx xxx' . does the 'timeo=50' means 'timeout 50 *seconds*' ? | 06:53 |
| Soren1 | . | 06:53 |
| Leomar | sorry, dont see the partitions jet | 06:53 |
| indus | Leomar: try last step i said and restart pc | 06:53 |
| ziroday | cg: yep, it means wait 50 seconds before attempting to mount the drive IIRC | 06:53 |
| indus | Leomar: or wait | 06:54 |
| ryan_ | i can't access my shared folders on my windows machine through my home network. | 06:54 |
| Leomar | ok | 06:54 |
| cg | ziroday: thank you very much. | 06:54 |
| Leomar | i'll wait | 06:54 |
| indus | Leomar: nvm ok just restart it and see | 06:54 |
| indus | good luck | 06:54 |
| ziroday | cg: have fun! | 06:54 |
| Leomar | ok i'll restart then | 06:54 |
| cg | ziroday: another question. if i mount without option '-o soft,intr,bg,timeo=50', when the nfs server is down, and i 'cd /mount_piont' and 'ls', my terminal is blocked. and even 'fuser -k /mount_point' blocks the terminal. any solutions ? | 06:56 |
| ziroday | cg: you can always try doing ctrl+c or ctrl+z | 06:57 |
| cg | ziroday: nothing happens when Ctrl+c or ctrl+z | 06:58 |
| ziroday | cg: and closing the terminal? | 06:58 |

| Burlynn | ubuntu 8.10 new install on a laptop intel 945 chipset, normal visual effects, DarkRoom theme option, all my popup notifications are two colors, is this normal? the background is half tan half grey, does not look right | 06:58 |
| cg | ziroday: of course i can close it by force. the problem is, the mount piont is still there, and any program goes into it will be blocked, and so does the terminal | 06:59 |
| ziroday | cg: sorry I don't know | 06:59 |
| losher | cg: check out 'man 5 nfs'. That timeout is *tenths* of a second, and its timeout until retry, so you may need retrans=1 or some such | 07:00 |
| cg | ziroday: that's all right. thanks again. i will keep google-ing it until i got an answer | 07:00 |

| losher | cg: if you get the parameters right, it shouldn't block. See retrans & retry\ | 07:02 |
| RHorse | Leomar ls -rt /dev give anything? | 07:02 |
| cg | losher: yes, you are right. the problem is , if someone forgot to add the proper options, it will block, and how to solve it? i don't want to restart the server | 07:03 |

| Flannel | klenix: go to software sources, and on one of the tabs theres a spot where you can tell it how you want to upgrade. You want to upgrade from 8.04 (LTS) to 8.10 (non-LTS). The default in LTS releases is to only mention LTS upgrades (which, as of now is planned for 10.04). So you need to tell it that you really do want to upgrade to a 'regular old release'. | 07:17 |

| Soren1 | raylu: but now I know I need 10GB just to keep Ubuntu, alone, happy and I need a swap partition | 07:21 |
| raylu | Soren1: ok. 10GB should be fine. if you have large/many files, you can always just store them somewhere on the xp drive | 07:21 |
| raylu | Soren1: how much ram do you have? | 07:21 |
| Soren1 | 1GB :( | 07:21 |
| DaZ | Soren1: you don't need swap | 07:21 |
| she_dyed | Brando753, iirc theres a firefox -profilemanager? see if it 's applicable | 07:21 |
| indus | klenix: Flannel:why should he go through 2 upgrades ?? huh | 07:22 |
| Leomar | Soren1: that's good i think | 07:22 |
| she_dyed | Brando753, am just not sure how restrictive it can be | 07:22 |
| raylu | Soren1: i'd recommend 1GB of swap and 9GB for / | 07:22 |
| indus | klenix: just download and install 9.04 | 07:22 |
| DaZ | raylu: why does he need swap? | 07:22 |
| felix_ | !pastebin | 07:22 |
| 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) | 07:22 |
| raylu | DaZ: for suspend | 07:22 |
| DaZ | with 1gb i'm using like 15megs of it | 07:22 |
| ottoshmi1t | quit | 07:22 |
| Leomar | indus: ok, i'm going to | 07:22 |
| raylu | DaZ: and it's not hard to use more than 1GB of memory | 07:23 |
| DaZ | well, it's hard enough for me ; | 07:23 |
| Soren1 | why isn't there a way to put XP on one end of the HDD and Ubuntu on the other end and tell them to use parts in the middle as needed until they both fill it up | 07:23 |
| raylu | Soren1: you can... like i said, you can put files on the xp partition | 07:23 |
| |lekarousar| | RHorse: no luck | 07:23 |
| DaZ | Soren1: you can use windows partition in ubuntu | 07:23 |
| klenix | indus: ok i will. thanks. | 07:23 |
| DaZ | Soren1: it's laptop or desktop? | 07:24 |
| Flannel | klenix: Upgrading will be easier. | 07:24 |
| Ethan`` | (repasting my question) how do i make the number of desktops permanent on kde. It keeps reverting to the previous settings | 07:24 |
| Soren1 | so Ubuntu is more than happy to write on an XP partitioned space on the HDD | 07:24 |
| Flannel | indus: Because there's absolutely no reason to spend all that time reconfiguring everything, backing up your data, etc. | 07:24 |
| Soren1 | laptop | 07:24 |
| Flannel | Ethan``: They may know more in #kubuntu | 07:24 |
| indus | Flannel: who says you need to reconfigure | 07:24 |
| raylu | Soren1: it's not more than happy, perse, but it'll do it :D | 07:24 |
| Ethan`` | thanks | 07:24 |
| Soren1 | Gateway 4520 ...............P O S | 07:24 |
| Flannel | indus: Erm, there's things called settings. | 07:24 |
| Leomar | indus: sudo fdisk -l => http://paste.ubuntu.com/176951/ | 07:25 |
| Soren1 | lol, raylu, and it can run programs from there too? | 07:25 |
| indus | Flannel:well a little time spent on that is better than having to sit through 2 upgrades | 07:25 |
| raylu | Soren1: not well, and not easily sometimes | 07:25 |
| Soren1 | Laptop = Gateway 4520 ...............P O S | 07:25 |
| Soren1 | raylu: meaning? | 07:25 |
| raylu | Soren1: windows binaries and linux binaries are not compatible with each other | 07:26 |
| Flannel | indus: Upgrades won't take that long this time of year, assuming he's on a reasonable sized connection. He'll have to download a comperable amount anyway to be up to date on Jaunty. | 07:26 |
| indus | Flannel: ok ill let him decide now :) | 07:26 |
| * Soren1 looks at raylu as his brain explodes | 07:26 | |
| darkmillian | Ummm hello | 07:26 |
| indus | Leomar: wait | 07:26 |
| raylu | Soren1: wine tries to emulate the windows api, but it's broken here and there and there are always issues running windows apps on not-windows (the filesystem is layed out completely differently, for example). don't worry about running windows apps for now | 07:26 |
| Ethan`` | Flannel: I installed kde on ubuntu. so shouldnt i ask this question on here? | 07:27 |
| Soren1 | that is the 3rd or fourth explosion tonight ;) | 07:27 |
| badfish69 | if i install ubuntu inside windows is it going to run in a vm? | 07:27 |
| raylu | badfish69: if you install ubuntu inside a windows in a vm, it will run in a vm... your question doesn't make much sense | 07:27 |
| Flannel | Ethan``: #kubuntu knows more about KDE. The only difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is the GUI (they're the same distro). Obviously your question is KDE specific, and while you're more than welcome to ask your question here, you'll likely have more people who know more about it in #kubuntu | 07:28 |
| elliotf | Hello all.. I'm having some serious usability issues with ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 when it comes to disk IO ruining interactivity. Is this a known issue? But #131094 does not seem to be getting any attention... | 07:28 |
| Soren1 | why was I using ubiquity to set up my partitions and swap? | 07:28 |
| lstarnes | badfish69: using wubi? | 07:28 |
| Ethan`` | lol okay | 07:28 |
| badfish69 | yeah | 07:28 |
| darkmillian | Can any help me? | 07:28 |
| Ethan`` | its just that no one answered me yet, on kubuntu | 07:28 |
| lstarnes | badfish69: I don't think that's an actual vm | 07:28 |
| Soren1 | is it just a utility? | 07:28 |
| darkmillian | How can i install flash on 64 bit ubuntu? | 07:29 |
| klenix | indus: if i do fresh install it is faster than upgrade, isn't it. But can i still keep my old application? | 07:29 |
| raylu | elliotf: actually, i have that problem too | 07:29 |
| elliotf | Soren1, badfish69: I believe it creates a dual-boot solution | 07:29 |
| indus | klenix: nooooooo | 07:29 |
| elliotf | raylu, it's really bad.. under very simple operations.. | 07:29 |
| ottoshmi1t | H | 07:29 |
| indus | klenix: you lose all data with fresh upgrade | 07:29 |
| badfish69 | i can give it a shot i guess | 07:29 |
| raylu | elliotf: i only have problems when something is reading tons of files | 07:29 |
| badfish69 | worst case i have to reinstall w7 | 07:29 |
| indus | klenix: it formats partition | 07:29 |
| indus | klenix: i think take flannels advice | 07:29 |
| raylu | elliotf: you can try ionice, but it didn't do much for me | 07:30 |
| raylu | badfish69: i don't recommend wubi | 07:30 |
| elliotf | copying six 1.5gb files across disks makes it grind to a halt | 07:30 |
| badfish69 | why is that? | 07:30 |
| elliotf | raylu, that's not an option on my servers. | 07:30 |
| indus | klenix: that way everything you saved remains same | 07:30 |
| badfish69 | oh dear | 07:30 |
| badfish69 | ive already started | 07:30 |
| elliotf | raylu, have you seen the load average climb when the problem occurs? | 07:30 |
| raylu | elliotf: didn't pay much attention when it happened. i just tried to ionice it | 07:30 |
| raylu | elliotf: why isn't ionice an option? | 07:30 |
| Flannel | klenix: The difference in download sizes is likely something around 700MB. (700MB more if you upgrade twice) | 07:31 |
| elliotf | raylu, I *really* don't want to ionice postgres. :) | 07:31 |
| elliotf | raylu, it's a server, it should be able to use the CPU and disks at the same time. | 07:31 |
| raylu | elliotf: ah | 07:31 |
| Soren1 | anyone out there with a lot of patience and good at hand holding wanna help me with increasing the size of the Ubuntu partition, from 10GB to 20GB and making a swap partition? I do not understand Ubuntu at all, and have limited knowledge of Win.... | 07:33 |
| elliotf | raylu, ah, it looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/131094 is getting some attention again | 07:33 |
| elliotf | yay! | 07:33 |
| raylu | Soren1: i still think you'd be fine with 10GB for now | 07:33 |
| Soren1 | k | 07:33 |
| klenix | flannel: indus : if i do fresh install, i will use live cd, it's faster. But i'm worry about my previous setting and application. | 07:34 |
| indus | klenix: what application? | 07:34 |
| Soren1 | raylu, are you the person described above? lol | 07:34 |
| Flannel | klenix: you'll overwrite all of them. | 07:34 |
| Flannel | klenix: Data too. | 07:34 |
| indus | klenix: yeah flannel is right . You lose all previous data | 07:34 |
| Ethan`` | suspend doesnt seem to work on my system | 07:35 |
| Ethan`` | any help please | 07:35 |
| RHorse | tonyyarusso did you get answered? | 07:35 |
| Soren1 | lol, guess not | 07:35 |
| raylu | Soren1: not quite, sorry | 07:35 |
| Soren1 | lol | 07:35 |
| Soren1 | np | 07:35 |
| raylu | Soren1: but why do you feel 10GB isn't enough? | 07:36 |
| Siegfried | does anybody knows a console torrent client that supports udp? | 07:36 |
| |lekarousar| | RHorse: when i lshw -c network: i get unclaimed tags for my NICs. know how to fix that? | 07:36 |
| Soren1 | raylu: I have no idea, I will leave it at whatever it is | 07:36 |
| klenix | indus: application i installed via terminal or synaptic, | 07:36 |
| Soren1 | raylu: I am not fond of just meeting minimum requirments | 07:37 |
| oDesk | hello i'm on 9.10, can't use touchpad double click after latest upgrade!!!! | 07:37 |
| raylu | Soren1: you can increase it later | 07:37 |
| RHorse | |lekarousar| sorry, not familiaar w/ that | 07:37 |
| Soren1 | k | 07:37 |
| Ethan`` | hello, how do i get suspend to work on my system. right now the monitor turns off, but cpu keeps running | 07:38 |
| raylu | Siegfried: deluge... sort of | 07:38 |
| indus | klenix: dont use a live cd | 07:39 |
| indus | klenix: upgrade from update-manager | 07:39 |
| Siegfried | raylu, oh thanks i completely forgot this one, i'll try! | 07:39 |
| Burlynn | ubuntu 8.10 new install on a laptop intel 945 chipset, normal visual effects, DarkRoom theme option, all my popup notifications are two colors, is this normal? the background is half tan half grey, does not look right | 07:39 |
| raylu | Siegfried: it's not exactly cli | 07:39 |
| indus | klenix: from 8.04 to 8.10 then to 9.04 | 07:39 |
| raylu | Siegfried: wait, it does indeed have a console interface | 07:39 |
| indus | klenix: is that understood? | 07:39 |
| raylu | Siegfried: but you probably want to use either the gtk or web frontend. the torrent client runs as a daemon and you control it with a client | 07:40 |
| raylu | Siegfried: at the moment, i have the daemon running on a headless server and i connect to it with the gtk client from here | 07:40 |
| raylu | !suspend | Ethan`` | 07:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend | 07:41 |
| raylu | :( | 07:41 |
| Tasbuntu | Hello all, I've been messing with my GRUB settings lately, and although I managed to get a splashscreen on it, the Ubuntu Bootup animation(the loading up bar?) seems to have broken. The bootup is now text based. Is there anyway to fix this? | 07:41 |
| raylu | Ethan``: suspend has always been sort of hit or miss. not much that you can do about it that i know of | 07:42 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: show us the boot line? | 07:42 |
| Tasbuntu | the boot line? o: | 07:42 |
| Tasbuntu | Oh dear, I think I stepped into uncharted territory yet again xD; What is the boot line? | 07:42 |
| barbarian_sargon | hello everyone | 07:43 |
| klenix | Flannel: indus: if i do with live cd will be faster but i will lost all my previous setting and application. With normal upgrade will be longer for me but save my setting. | 07:43 |
| Flannel | klenix: I'm not sure an upgrade will really take that much longer. | 07:43 |
| Tasbuntu | More specifically, I guess I should ask how do I GET to the bootline? | 07:43 |
| Flannel | klenix: Not that I time them in my spare time. But the rest of it is correct. With a reinstall, you get a fresh system, as if nothing had been there before. With an upgrade, you keep your settings, the other programs you install, your files, etc. | 07:44 |
| Soren1 | I am trying a Dual Boot install...............I am at PreparePartitions........... I see: Device=/dev/sda1 ...........Device:/dev/sda1 Type:ntfs Size:120GB Used 26GB............Device:freespace 11GB | 07:44 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: the line that starts with "kernel" is what i meant | 07:44 |
| RHorse | Tasbuntu F6 when tthe grub menu appears. | 07:44 |
| barbarian_sargon | yeah, when I upgraded to 9.04, I didn't lose any files or settings | 07:44 |
| Tasbuntu | Allright. So I go do that, and how do I get you the results exactly? | 07:44 |
| Tasbuntu | It just copies the whole thing when I do F6? | 07:45 |
| barbarian_sargon | by that I mean, I upgraded with the upgrade manager | 07:45 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: no.. just get it out of your menu.lst | 07:45 |
| barbarian_sargon | update* | 07:45 |
| barbarian_sargon | sorry | 07:45 |
| klenix | Flannel : indus : yes, i 'll use upgrade. thanks for advice. | 07:45 |
| Tasbuntu | oh. Allright | 07:45 |
| chris_ | can i please have the name of the best program to extract sequential .rar files (jaunty) | 07:46 |
| ``y7 | where can i go into ubuntu to make sure the system isn't going to shutdown or go into sleep mode after x minutes of idle time? | 07:46 |
| raylu | Burlynn: a screenshot may help | 07:46 |
| barbarian_sargon | chris, I think ark will work | 07:46 |
| Ethan`` | taylu : suspend used to work fine till i upgraded something | 07:46 |
| Ethan`` | raylu* | 07:47 |
| raylu | Ethan``: the kernel. try an older version of it | 07:47 |
| chris_ | cool thanks, i haven't installed linux in a while lol, a little rusty.. | 07:47 |
| Ethan`` | lool | 07:47 |
| Tasbuntu | http://pastebin.com/f74e4828a | 07:47 |
| Tasbuntu | Here you go guys. Sorry about being so dense, I'm really just learning Ubuntu as I go along xD; | 07:47 |
| Ethan`` | can i get it to work again...do you know anythin | 07:47 |
| raylu | Ethan``: you probably still have it, actually. aptitude search linux-image | 07:47 |
| raylu | Ethan``: or ls /boot | 07:47 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: do you need vga=795 to boot? | 07:48 |
| Soren1 | brb | 07:48 |
| Tasbuntu | I...have no idea, frankly. I'm still pretty much lost in terms of coding and the terminal. | 07:49 |
| Ethan`` | thanks, raylu | 07:50 |
| csaba | how can I play chess over a network? | 07:50 |
| Tasbuntu | oh, splash vga=795 | 07:50 |
| Tasbuntu | I think that's the splash page for the main menu | 07:50 |
| csaba | when I click on "Network game" I get a dialog saying profile: disconnected | 07:50 |
| Tasbuntu | I'm running a Triple boot system, so Grub automatically boots into the menu, hence the splash page. | 07:51 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: by default, you only have splash and quiet | 07:51 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: so i assume you added vga=795 yourself | 07:51 |
| tlarson | how do you see what video driver you're using in 9.04? xorg.conf doesn't contain anything useful | 07:52 |
| Tasbuntu | Well, I don't recall having personally opened the menu.lst and edited THIS, but I used start-up manager to customize the grub menu, so possibly that could have done it, yes | 07:52 |
| Soren1 | I am trying a Dual Boot install...............I am at PreparePartitions........... Device=/dev/sda1 ...........Device:/dev/sda1 Type:ntfs Size:120GB Used 26GB............Device:freespace 11GB................. what is the next step | 07:52 |
| raylu | tlarson: glxinfo or xdpyinfo may be of help | 07:52 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: i'd take out vga=795 from defoptions and then run "sudo update-grub" | 07:52 |
| Tasbuntu | Allright, I'll try that, thank you | 07:53 |
| Tasbuntu | what about initrd, though? | 07:53 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: what about it? | 07:53 |
| Tasbuntu | Well, you said only splash and quiet were there by default, didn't you? | 07:53 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: initrd is on its own line | 07:54 |
| === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball | ||
| Tasbuntu | Ah, allright O: | 07:54 |
| Tasbuntu | Thank you | 07:54 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: that specifies the strange strange ramfs thingy | 07:54 |
| raylu | which i have yet to understand | 07:54 |
| Tasbuntu | xD' Then I clearly have no hopes of that yet | 07:54 |
| KitNezumi | I'm installing netbook remix via GUI on an Eee 1000 HE. I shortened the Windows partition as well as the backup partition to make room for the upcoming Ubuntu partition. However, now I'm stuck with two seperate chunks of unpartitioned space marked "unusable." I'm kind of at a loss of what I should do next. | 07:54 |
| Tasbuntu | I'll go try what you said, thank you :3 | 07:55 |
| Soren1 | is there a dual boot channel that would be better to go to? | 07:55 |
| raylu | Soren1: not really | 07:56 |
| nibsa1242 | I have a user that likes to keep many folders open in Nautilus, including folders where she is downloading files with Bit Torrent. This causes Nautilus to constantly update the thumbnails and use 60% CPU power. How can I set Nautilus not to update thumbnails unless user presses refresh? | 07:56 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: what says its unusable? | 07:56 |
| Soren1 | raylu: ok, I'll check back later for help | 07:56 |
| KitNezumi | raylu: the term "unusable" appears under the device column for the two presumably now-empty spaces | 07:56 |
| raylu | Soren1: the next step is to create a 1gb swap and 10gb ext3 partition. isn't there na option to do that automatically? | 07:57 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: in the installer? | 07:57 |
| tlarson | raylu: do you think that if the [OpenGL version string] is "1.4 Mesa 7.4 | 07:57 |
| cirolinux | Salve | 07:57 |
| KitNezumi | raylu: yes, in the installer | 07:57 |
| tlarson | raylu: would that mean that i'm running the generic mesa drivers? | 07:57 |
| barbarian_sargon | hey guys, does anyone know a script for installing gtk gnutella through terminal? I have tried sudo apt get install gtk gnutella, and I have tried to install it through add or remove programs, but its always the old version, and it will not work. before I re-installed ubuntu, my friend helped me install it, he told me step by step the script | 07:58 |
| barbarian_sargon | I was just wondering if anyone else knew | 07:58 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: this is the netbook installer right? you can't really run any apps, can you? | 07:58 |
| === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 | ||
| raylu | tlarson: i have no idea, sorry. try grepping for driver names. also, if you haven't modified your xorg.conf, X -configure may be revealing | 07:59 |
| tlarson | raylu: thanks | 07:59 |
| KitNezumi | raylu: i'm not sure if i'm understanding you correctly. this is the installer that i ran from the desktop when running URN in liveCD mode | 07:59 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: urn = ? | 08:00 |
| KitNezumi | raylu: sorry. Ubuntu Netbook Remix (got the acronym wrong). I did manage to run some applications in LiveCD mode | 08:00 |
| e-1 | barbarian_sargon, try #gtk-gnutella | 08:00 |
| barbarian_sargon | ok, thanks | 08:00 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: oh. my only experience with it has been a friend running the installer. i do remember the other option, but we never tried it | 08:00 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: i'd close the installer and run "gksu gparted" | 08:01 |
| plaseo | how to make the folders in places display as a menu? | 08:01 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: i never really liked the installer's partitioner | 08:01 |
| KitNezumi | raylu: i'll give it a shot. thank you. | 08:01 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: you can disable thumbnails in the preferences, apparently | 08:02 |
| Tasbuntu | O: Well, I'm back | 08:02 |
| Tasbuntu | Raylu, thanks for the tip, deleting that line didnt hurt anything so it removed some useless coding from Grub, however it didn't fix my problem. | 08:03 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu the thumbnails would be ok, but I don't see why it needs to constantly update them and heat up the computer and kill the performance | 08:03 |
| plaseo | ? | 08:04 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: you could run nautilus with a high nice. but things like that are the reason i avoid guis :P | 08:04 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: er... show me your menu.lst now? | 08:04 |
| barbarian_sargon | so is anyone running the new 9.04? | 08:05 |
| Tasbuntu | I am. It runs pretty much fine on my system. | 08:05 |
| Tasbuntu | http://pastebin.com/f2a5d1872 | 08:05 |
| barbarian_sargon | yeah, I like it | 08:06 |
| Tasbuntu | Except when I screw up ie right now | 08:06 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: it already runs at nice 19 on my system, but its constant running then causes massive amounts of swapping and slow down. | 08:06 |
| barbarian_sargon | I kinda want 8.04 back on here, but my cd drive wont read burnt or blank discs for some reason | 08:06 |
| Tasbuntu | Also raylu, pastebin link is back up there. http://pastebin.com/f2a5d1872 | 08:06 |
| Tasbuntu | repost | 08:06 |
| barbarian_sargon | lol, I know exactly what you mean tasbuntu | 08:06 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: that sounds related to elliotf's issue earlier. | 08:07 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: its not my issue... I just use the terminal, but one of the users in my house is having this issue because she won't close nautilus windows. | 08:07 |
| zethero1 | installed Ubuntu Jaunty on my T30 Thinkpad and now have no sound | 08:07 |
| Tasbuntu | xD Oh, I rather enjoy the whole mess. Plus I'm learning a bit more pretty much all the time. | 08:07 |
| barbarian_sargon | zethero1, you might need oem audo drivers | 08:07 |
| hskill | how do i install all the C programming man pages? | 08:07 |
| plaseo | how to make the folders in places display as a menu? | 08:08 |
| hskill | i dont even have a man page for malloc() | 08:08 |
| cyberjorge | does ubuntu 8.10 support the ttyS3 by default? | 08:08 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: hrm. no idea then. by the way, the next time the kernel gets upgraded, update-grub is going to be run and vga=795 will be added back in because you didn't remove it from defoptions | 08:08 |
| barbarian_sargon | I have a friend who is great with linux, he has been teaching me a little bit here and there | 08:08 |
| Tasbuntu | O; How do I update that? | 08:08 |
| raylu | hskill: manpages-posix-dev | 08:08 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: look for defoptions in menu.lst | 08:08 |
| Tasbuntu | Allright | 08:08 |
| Tasbuntu | By the way, is the bootup animation screen even related to Grub? | 08:09 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: not really | 08:09 |
| zethero1 | barbarian_sargon: why? it was working perfectly in 7.10 | 08:09 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: that's usplash | 08:09 |
| Tasbuntu | I'm talking about the animations with the bars that fill up and empty out on bootup/shutdown | 08:09 |
| Tasbuntu | Well, that's been my problem all along, so no wonder xD; | 08:09 |
| raylu | zethero1: pulseaudio has been introduced since then | 08:09 |
| hskill | raylu what about just 'manpages-dev'? | 08:09 |
| dyf | hello.. how do i control which processes start up when i boot ubuntu? | 08:09 |
| raylu | dyf: update-rc.d | 08:10 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: ok so I told it to only show thumbnails of files less than 100kb, testing to see if it'll listen | 08:10 |
| barbarian_sargon | I am not sure zethero1, I was just making a suggestion. I would like to help you further, but alas, I am but a learner myself | 08:10 |
| sleepy_cat | i wanted some help with XIRR and IRR is there a community here that can help me with that ? | 08:10 |
| Tasbuntu | So, how do I edit usplash settings? | 08:10 |
| drewlahooz | dyf: Try System>Pref>Startup Applications | 08:10 |
| Tasbuntu | Or reset usplash to default? | 08:10 |
| hermanChess | How can I effectively replace swfdec with the non free plugin? I don't like how it is displayed, and the volume bar doesn't work on videos. | 08:10 |
| raylu | hskill: manpages-posix-dev suggests it, so it should pull it in | 08:10 |
| hermanChess | In firefox.... | 08:10 |
| raylu | hskill: but yeah, you actually want manpages-dev | 08:11 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: nope, stupid thing is still indexing >300MB files | 08:11 |
| plaseo | dyf: Install ubuntu tweak | 08:11 |
| zethero1 | raylu: argh | 08:11 |
| dyf | drewlahooz: i'm on fluxbox, do you know the command to start that application? | 08:11 |
| dyf | plaseo: the name sounds scary | 08:12 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: ok turned off thumnails, now it seems ok | 08:12 |
| dyf | i don't wanna mess up my system, just turn off a few processes at start up | 08:12 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: <100k didn't work? | 08:12 |
| drewlahooz | dyf: No, I'm sorry | 08:12 |
| raylu | dyf: login or bootup? | 08:12 |
| plaseo | dyf: just moved from windows to ubuntu not scary at all, its a great program with many functions | 08:12 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: no, it didn't listen OR was polling the files to see how large they were | 08:12 |
| Tasbuntu | Uh, guys, if I install splashy will it uninstall usplash completely or do I get to choose between the two? | 08:12 |
| dyf | raylu: boot up, like i wanna turn of cups cuz i don't have a printer | 08:12 |
| cyberjorge | does ubuntu 8.10 support the ttys4 (=COM5) by default? | 08:13 |
| dyf | i wanna make my system lighter basically | 08:13 |
| raylu | dyf: update-rc.d -f cupsd remove | 08:13 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: remember we are talking about a Bit Torrent download folder, so the files are constantly changing in size as they grow | 08:13 |
| dyf | raylu: can i list what i can remove with update-rc.d? | 08:13 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: they shouldn't. good clients will pre-allocate | 08:13 |
| raylu | dyf: ls /etc/init.d | 08:14 |
| dyf | raylu: cool, thanks | 08:14 |
| raylu | dyf: i'm not sure the command i gave you was entirely correct; not in ubuntu at the moment | 08:14 |
| barbarian_sargon | is ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 lts? | 08:14 |
| cyberjorge | does ubuntu 8.10 support the "ttys4 (=COM5)" by default? | 08:14 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: that would be nice, but transmission doesn't do it that way... and that is what is on her computer | 08:14 |
| raylu | dyf: but the manpage/help is short | 08:14 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: transmission is... kinda fail | 08:14 |
| plaseo | how to make the folders in places display as a menu? | 08:15 |
| raylu | barbarian_sargon: nope. sorry | 08:15 |
| barbarian_sargon | I was just wondering | 08:15 |
| barbarian_sargon | so 8.04 is pretty much the only lts version out right now? | 08:15 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: its the default app, that is what she is using... I get get something else and install it, for the future. | 08:15 |
| raylu | barbarian_sargon: i believe there's only ever one lts out | 08:15 |
| zethero1 | raylu: but I still see ALSA here ... | 08:15 |
| === Kapputtgarter is now known as Putt | ||
| raylu | zethero1: yep. | 08:15 |
| barbarian_sargon | when was 7.04 and 7.10 released? | 08:16 |
| raylu | zethero1: my understanding is pulseaudio->alsa->...stuff | 08:16 |
| cyberjorge | ok i'll change my question: | 08:16 |
| raylu | barbarian_sargon: 04/07 and 10/07, of course | 08:16 |
| barbarian_sargon | ok. I was just wondering | 08:16 |
| cyberjorge | how do I re-compile kernel to support multi-com-port including COM 5? | 08:16 |
| barbarian_sargon | I get it now | 08:16 |
| raylu | !kernel | cyberjorge | 08:17 |
| ubottu | cyberjorge: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 08:17 |
| barbarian_sargon | im a noobie | 08:17 |
| raylu | barbarian_sargon: it's ok. i think the version numbering is horrible and confusing | 08:17 |
| cyberjorge | raylu: thanks for that, and for the warning, but this is my only chance to make my device to run | 08:17 |
| raylu | cyberjorge: good luck | 08:18 |
| Tasbuntu | Uh, how do I install Splashy? | 08:18 |
| cyberjorge | raylu: by the way do you have an idea if "ttys4 (=COM5)" is supported by default in 8.10 | 08:18 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: usplash? | 08:18 |
| raylu | cyberjorge: no idea, sorry :P | 08:18 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: why do you want splashy? | 08:18 |
| cyberjorge | :( | 08:18 |
| nebundelegat_ | ciao all | 08:19 |
| sleepy_cat | anyone can help me with XIRR vs IRR methods and how to calculate them i | 08:19 |
| Tasbuntu | Well, you know the uSplash bar thing when Ubuntu is booting up? | 08:19 |
| nibsa1242 | raylu: what do you think of deluge? I think I used that in the past but can't remember... too many BT clients | 08:19 |
| Tasbuntu | Well, that broke and now the bootup is text based for some reason. | 08:19 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: okay, installing splashy isn't going to fix that | 08:20 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: i use it currently :D | 08:20 |
| Tasbuntu | O: | 08:20 |
| Tasbuntu | Damn | 08:20 |
| Tasbuntu | Dont suppose you know what would? | 08:20 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: but i have a machine that runs all the time and torrents. i use this machine to control it, so deluge fits my needs | 08:20 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: haha, I don't sorry :) | 08:20 |
| barbarian_sargon | do you guys call windows winblows? | 08:20 |
| ziroday | barbarian_sargon: no | 08:20 |
| Tasbuntu | 'Daw | 08:20 |
| barbarian_sargon | my friend who taught me about ubuntu does | 08:20 |
| raylu | nibsa1242: also, it sorts torrents by tracker domain, something nothing else does. transmission sorts them the worst of all, though | 08:21 |
| Tasbuntu | Barbarian, it's called fanaticism. It's a common basis people use for not having to think. | 08:21 |
| raylu | Tasbuntu: thinking is overrated | 08:21 |
| Tasbuntu | Maybe so | 08:22 |
| === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball | ||

| qubits | Sure man | 08:23 |
| qubits | You can bring back my titlebars | 08:23 |
| ziroday | plaseo: open the file manager, drag the folder you want onto the places area | 08:24 |
| tecky | less is more, but more is more than more is, so more is less than less, so use more less if you want less more | 08:24 |

| ziroday | Zephryos: sure! Please just explain whats not working :) | 08:25 |
| Tasbuntu | Uh, so, can I ask if there's a channel specifically for Ubuntu for Mac users? Or a channel for Grub or other bootup programs? | 08:25 |
| plaseo | ziroday: thank you, its on my wish list | 08:26 |
| raylu | !mac | 08:26 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 08:26 |

| raylu | ...what.. | 08:26 |
| raylu | KitNezumi: :D | 08:26 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: neither that I know of, but you can browse help.ubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org whilst you wait | 08:26 |
| Tasbuntu | xD, well! Thanks, Raylu. Also, allright, thank you | 08:26 |
| NvidiaUser | Tasbuntu There is a Linux Channel at #linux | 08:27 |
| Tasbuntu | ..wha? | 08:27 |
| ziroday | plaseo: you can create an idea at brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 08:27 |
| NvidiaUser | On IRC | 08:27 |
| nebundelegat_ | care vb romaneste aici:D | 08:27 |
| Tasbuntu | Yes, but, how does that apply to Macs specifically, or Bootup programs? | 08:27 |

| Tasbuntu | Oh, allright. Thank you, Nvidia! xD | 08:28 |
| NvidiaUser | Tasubuntu or know of more channels NP :) | 08:28 |
| barbarian_sargon | I am gonna have to start coming in here from now on. I wanna learn how to use ubuntu more. I mean, I know how to use it, I would like to learn how to compile/program more | 08:28 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: can you please pastebin you're /boot/grub/menu.lst | 08:28 |
| barbarian_sargon | I am joining the military in 4 months, and it would give me something to do until then | 08:28 |
| Zephryos | Alright, tiny bit o' back story and the condition of the laptop... I'm just wanting to use the laptop for IM's and doing my college assignments around the house. The laptop is a Compaq Presario 2500 (2003), the system seems to "fry" HD's and it has no internal CD-Rom drive nor floppeh. I'm wanting to make this be able to boot off my 2GB USB Drive. Right now I have an external CD Drive which I used to load up Ubuntu 9.04. Questi | 08:29 |
| ziroday | barbarian_sargon: compiling and programming are two very different things :) | 08:29 |
| raylu | !it | nebundelegat_ | 08:29 |
| ubottu | nebundelegat_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 08:29 |
| ziroday | Zephryos: you're question got cut off | 08:29 |
| raylu | barbarian_sargon: more? what can you code in now? also, this isn't really the place to learn to code | 08:29 |
| barbarian_sargon | ziroday: ok, I just mean't I would like to learn how to program and compile | 08:29 |
| Zephryos | Nope it didn't, I just forgot to put a ? instead of a . <_< 2:30AM here :P | 08:30 |
| barbarian_sargon | well, not really code raylu, I can compile, that's about it | 08:30 |
| ziroday | barbarian_sargon: sure, we can help you with both. If you want to program python is a good starting language. For compiling see | 08:30 |
| ziroday | !compile | barbarian_sargon see | 08:30 |
| ubottu | barbarian_sargon see: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 08:30 |
| Colonel_Bear | I have 8.04 | 08:30 |

| parapanghelescu | Hi there fellows ......I'll ask you again - does someone know an editor of pdf files ? - smth like Acrobat for linux ???? | 08:31 |
| ziroday | Zephryos: you're question got cut off, can you repeat everything below I used to load up Ubuntu 9.04. Questi please | 08:31 |
| Colonel_Bear | I have 8.04 and want to upgrade, but when I go to update manager it does not appear | 08:31 |
| Zephryos | Question is, how can I make it to where I can run it without having to take my big arse external drive around with me and just use the 2GB USB Drive? | 08:31 |
| jetsaredim | parapanghelescu: do you mean a pdf creator or something to edit already created pdfs? | 08:31 |
| Debolaz | Turns out I was able to solve most of my graphics performance issues with 9.04 by downgrading the nvidia driver from 180 to 173. | 08:31 |
| gharz | guys i have 1 folder and inside the folder i've got 100 folders... and inside this 100 folders i have file names that start with dot (.)... how do i recursively delete this files with dot? these files with dot are not important. please help | 08:31 |
| ziroday | Colonel_Bear: go to Software Sources > Updates > Show new distribution releases > Normal releases | 08:32 |
| parapanghelescu | jetsaredim > to edit smth is created yes, | 08:32 |
| parapanghelescu | used pdfedit .....but with no great luck ...:( | 08:32 |
| Viking667 | parapanghelescu: you may be out of luck. | 08:32 |
| ziroday | Zephryos: use the USB startup disk creator | 08:32 |
| Viking667 | Even Acrobat actually works with source files, then builds that into a pdf. | 08:32 |
| jetsaredim | parapanghelescu: not sure of anything like that - unless there are some online tools | 08:32 |
| gharz | any one? | 08:33 |
| parapanghelescu | Viking; jetsaredim > hmmmmm so what should I do ? use windows instead ??? | 08:33 |
| M3nelvagor | anybody here know something about partitioning with ubuntu? | 08:34 |
| Viking667 | parapanghelescu: you could perhaps use your legally purchased copy of Acrobat under wine or crossover-office. | 08:34 |
| ajhtiredwolf | gharz, something along the lines of rm .* -r i would assume | 08:34 |
| Colonel_Bear | thank you | 08:34 |
| qubits | its not doing anything | 08:34 |
| cyberjorge | is "#cat /proc/tty/driver/serial" a command in the terminal? | 08:34 |
| Zephryos | There any specific webpage that will have what I need? | 08:34 |
| Viking667 | without the #, yes. | 08:34 |
| ct529 | hi everybody .... is it possible to run Mac software under ubuntu? | 08:35 |
| cyberjorge | thanks Viking667 | 08:35 |
| NvidiaUser | First, I'd like to know if there's an iRC channel that deals with Ubuntu on Macs specifically, and secondly, I need some help with the bootup and shutdown animations in Ubuntu: Basically I've managed to kill them both, so now both bootup and shutdown are text based. I'd like to know if there's a way to fix this. I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty, Grub and Usplash. | 08:35 |
| parapanghelescu | but ....wine is the emulator right ? I'll install wine, install Windows, legal copy, then install Adobe Acrobat | 08:35 |
| Viking667 | parapanghelescu: ah, no. | 08:35 |
| ziroday | NvidiaUser: ? | 08:35 |
| Viking667 | If you're going to install legal copy of Windows, then you ACTUALLY want VMware or Virtualbox. | 08:35 |
| NvidiaUser | Idk it's for Tasubuntu | 08:35 |
| ziroday | NvidiaUser: why are you repasting what other people have said? | 08:35 |
| parapanghelescu | viking > cool | 08:35 |
| Tasbuntu | Oh, thanks Nvidia o: | 08:35 |
| ziroday | NvidiaUser: please don't do that | 08:36 |
| ajhtiredwolf | parapanghelescu, wine will emulate windows programs, but why do you need to install acrobat reader? there are plenty of much better pdf reader programs for linux | 08:36 |
| Tasbuntu | He's helping me, actually | 08:36 |
| sleepy_cat | ca n someone help me with IIR and XIRR ? | 08:36 |
| NvidiaUser | ziroday oh I thought he didn't say that sorry ;O | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | parapanghelescu: virtualbox is free, and VMware provide VMware server for free. | 08:36 |
| ajhtiredwolf | parapanghelescu, acrobat reader is not recommended to be used by windows users either as it is a huge security hole for viruses | 08:36 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: I asked before if you could pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | ajhtiredwolf: he actually wants to use Acrobat, not just the reader. | 08:36 |
| Tasbuntu | I did, hang on, lemme do it again | 08:36 |
| sleepy_cat | in financial calculations.. i want to know whats the difference between both of them and how to go about them ? | 08:36 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: and please address, that way I'm not going to miss it :) | 08:36 |
| parapanghelescu | ajhtiredwolf > so wine provides already the medium ....emulation for windows ....I need to write/modify pdf files .... | 08:37 |
| shengton | Where's the Multimedia Systems Selector in Xubuntu? | 08:37 |
| ziroday | sleepy_cat: we can't help you with that here | 08:37 |
| ziroday | shengton: ask in #xubuntu | 08:37 |

| cyberjorge | is it safe to add "8250.nr_uarts=6" to end of the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.list file to add new port? | 08:37 |
| Viking667 | parapanghelescu: wine provides SOME of the DLL calls that programs make under Windows. | 08:37 |
| Tasbuntu | Sorry and thanks xD | 08:37 |
| sleepy_cat | ziroday: any idea if there in a comm on IRC which can ? | 08:37 |

| ziroday | sleepy_cat: nope | 08:37 |
| M3nelvagor | So I deleted the final 28 GB partition of windows on my laptop. Now I want to use it as an extra partition where I can put my data for my thesis on. But when I use the partition editor and delete + make new one, it doesn't load automatically and is only for root. Any help? | 08:38 |
| sleepy_cat | oh ok | 08:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | parapanghelescu, if you find a program that will not install within ubuntu you can emulate an operating system as a guest os ( like xp ) through virtualbox | 08:38 |
| cyberjorge | Viking667: got an idea? | 08:38 |
| parapanghelescu | Viking > understand ....is wine under repository or Ubuntu 9.04 ??? | 08:38 |
| Viking667 | cyberjorge: no idea, sorry. | 08:38 |
| Viking667 | parapanghelescu: I _think_ it's in multiverse. | 08:38 |
| NvidiaUser | Tasubuntu: I have? :O | 08:38 |
| Viking667 | Not sure, though. | 08:38 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: on line 138 can you append the word splash please | 08:38 |
| cyberjorge | hmmm... | 08:38 |
| Viking667 | Tasbuntu: ... if splash isn't already there | 08:39 |
| Tasbuntu | How do I go about doing that? | 08:39 |
| parapanghelescu | ajhtiredwolf> know that but .....I'm kinda stressed out about the space on "/" ...I have only 300 Mb of free space ...... | 08:39 |
| Viking667 | Tasbuntu: you use an editor. | 08:39 |
| ziroday | !fstab | M3nelvagor add it here to have it mounted automatically at boot | 08:39 |
| ubottu | M3nelvagor add it here to have it mounted automatically at boot: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

| ajhtiredwolf | parapanghelescu, check the site winhq.com and look in the appdb ( application database) to see if that program runs well with your current distribution under wine | 08:40 |
| ziroday | Zephryos: please don't pm :). The USB creator is shipped by default in 8.10 and above | 08:40 |

| ajhtiredwolf | parapanghelescu, there you can also find suggestions to get it running properly if it is possible | 08:40 |
| nmvictor | M3nelvagor: why do you want it to load automatically,once its a new partion other than root(/) and swap then it cant load automatically.make a logical drive out of it | 08:40 |

| NvidiaUser | Tasubuntu the end should be: quiet splash | 08:42 |

| ajhtiredwolf | magnetron, ziroday that application has big problems in 9.04 | 08:43 |
| nmvictor | M3nelvagor:please let me PM you on this | 08:43 |
| farciarz84 | sth like bash_profile or .profile | 08:43 |
| Viking667 | farciarz84: check out in /etc/ | 08:43 |
| Tasbuntu | there, done | 08:43 |
| ziroday | ajhtiredwolf: pardon? | 08:43 |
| M3nelvagor | nmvictor: ok | 08:43 |
| Viking667 | farciarz84: there's /etc/rc.d | 08:43 |
| magnetron | nmvictor: it's a message from aptitude in Swedish. it says the package is "not authenticated" | 08:43 |
| ziroday | Tasbuntu: save the file and reboot | 08:43 |
| farciarz84 | tnx | 08:43 |
| Tasbuntu | Allright, thank you | 08:43 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ziroday, usb disk creator is not functioning well in ubuntu 9.04 | 08:44 |

| parapanghelescu | viking > looks like the / has only 2% free space >>> what can I do to free some space ??? | 08:44 |
| bc | Viking667: I read a book once called "How I gave up reading init messages and learned to love the boot splash" -- I give it 5 stars | 08:44 |
| Zephryos | I feel like this is going to be a world of headaches and confusion lol, just cuz Microsofts name isnt stamped all over everything :- | is that normal? | 08:44 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ziroday, unetbootin is a better choice for most 9.04 users rigt now | 08:44 |
| Viking667 | bc: no doubt written by the guy who wrote the Windows boot animation | 08:44 |
| ajhtiredwolf | magnetron, sorry that messages was supposed to go to someone else :P | 08:45 |

| === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 | ||
| bc | Viking667: lol. In all seriousness though, unless you suspect something is wrong, I wouldn't bother. unless you know _everything_, chances are it'll just make you go bald. | 08:45 |
| ziroday | Zephryos: okay, sorry. There are multiple ways to get Ubuntu to run off a thumb drive. One of those is the USB Startup Disk Creator which is installed by default, another one is unetbootin. You can use whichever one you want | 08:45 |

| * Viking667 steps back out | 08:46 | |
| [DeViL_KiLLs] | ziroday: hug :) thanks man | 08:46 |
| ajhtiredwolf | magnetron, also what is the warning you are getting? | 08:46 |
| NvidiaUser | Zephryos In my opinnion: At first I didn't like Ubuntu because it wasn't windows and after using it a while I got used to it and now I like it :) | 08:46 |
| bc | Viking667: also maybe install something like logwatch or logcheck. | 08:46 |

| [DeViL_KiLLs] | ? | 08:47 |
| ziroday | [DeViL_KiLLs]: the package name is compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:47 |

| AMAR_ | HAI | 08:47 |
| magnetron | nmvictor: ajhtiredwolf: yes, i only use the official repos. the exact warning is in Swedish, i don't think you want that, but it's the regular warning about the package not being authenticated/being unsigned | 08:47 |
| bc | AMAR_: o hai | 08:48 |
| [DeViL_KiLLs] | hihi thanks i will try now | 08:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf | magnetron, what does the program do? | 08:48 |
| AMAR_ | hello | 08:48 |
| farciarz84 | ok I have a alias xxx which is a x@xxx.xxx.xx.x -- why it is not working using ssh xxx | 08:48 |
| ziroday | magnetron: best idea would be to try a different repo and talk to the mirror hosters :) | 08:48 |
| magnetron | ajhtiredwolf: it's a crypto puzzle solver. Vigenére crypto and similar. | 08:48 |
| bc | farciarz84: stick it in ~/.ssh/config or /etc/hosts | 08:48 |
| magnetron | ziroday: i'll try that. | 08:49 |
| bc | farciarz84: and maybe go with bash_completion | 08:49 |
| ajhtiredwolf | magnetron, i do see it in the official repos, i would assume it's ok but i would go with ziroday's suggestion | 08:49 |
| farciarz84 | bc what is bash_completion? | 08:49 |
| magnetron | ajhtiredwolf: can you install it without warnings? | 08:50 |
| bc | farciarz84: tab then auto-completes most arguments, hostnames, etc | 08:50 |
| farciarz84 | how to get benefit in this case from that | 08:50 |
| ajhtiredwolf | magnetron, the warnings are preventing you from installing it ? | 08:50 |
| farciarz84 | but when I should put the gost? | 08:50 |
| farciarz84 | host | 08:50 |
| ziroday | magnetron: yeah, if another repo doesn't have that error then your best bet is to get hold of your mirror providers, your loco would probably know how to get hold of them (but then you already know that :)) | 08:50 |
| farciarz84 | when/where | 08:50 |
| Tasbuntu | Thanks guys, but that didn't work o: | 08:50 |
| [DeViL_KiLLs] | not work.. the effect is come with gnome..it is not from compize | 08:50 |
| NvidiaUser | Tasubuntu you should repost your menu.lst | 08:51 |
| ajhtiredwolf | magcius, in that case you can either look for a .deb package, or you can try and install it from source, or you can try and find a different software source containing it | 08:51 |

| ziroday | [DeViL_KiLLs]: ah with gnome then I think you're stuck. You might be able to find a way to disable it in gconf | 08:51 |
| ajhtiredwolf | magnetron, , in that case you can either look for a .deb package, or you can try and install it from source, or you can try and find a different software source containing it | 08:51 |

| Jason404 | as I do not need more than two remote connections, would using the free edition of nx server be better in any way than using freenx? | 08:51 |
| Tasbuntu | There | 08:51 |
| [DeViL_KiLLs] | where is gconf .. i will read the file | 08:52 |
| bc | farciarz84: echo '1.2.3.4 foo' >> /etc/hosts, then use ssh user@foo. then add `Host foo` and `User bar` in ~/.ssh/config to be able to just `ssh foo` | 08:52 |
| NvidiaUser | Tasubuntu and you selected the right option at startup? | 08:52 |
| ziroday | prathamesh: if the bluetooth device comes in proximity of the bluetooth reciever blueproximity automatically unlocks the machine | 08:52 |
| nmvictor | magnetron:does that bar you from installing the package anyway? | 08:52 |
| Tasbuntu | I should note I'm not sure Grub is the program responsible for said animations. Some people have said it's usplash | 08:52 |
| Tasbuntu | Yes | 08:52 |
| Tasbuntu | It boots normally, it's simple text based | 08:52 |
| Tasbuntu | simply* | 08:53 |
| prathamesh | ziroday : i tried it but its not working properly | 08:53 |
| Zephryos | Ziroday: Alright the USB Drive is now basically a "Live CD"? It just brought up the same startup stuff as the live CD. Which option do I chose? "Try Ubuntu" "install Ubuntu" "Boot rom First HD" (the only HD on this IS the USB Drive...) | 08:53 |
| bc | farciarz84: man 5 ssh_config | 08:53 |
| NvidiaUser | Tasubuntu It looks like your right. Usplash controls the bot screen | 08:53 |
| ziroday | Zephryos: Try Ubuntu | 08:54 |
| nmvictor | d | 08:54 |
| Zephryos | Will I need to do this every time I run it? | 08:54 |
| [MindVirus] | Every time I update, I always see hipo in a list of packages that have been held back. Can I fix this? | 08:54 |
| farciarz84 | bc I don;t have such file like ~/.ssh/config it's only known_hosts.conf | 08:54 |
| barbarian_sargon | well everyone, take care | 08:54 |
| bc | farciarz84: create it | 08:54 |
| barbarian_sargon | I am going to bed | 08:54 |
| magnetron | nmvictor: maybe you're not aware of the purpose of the package signatures | 08:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | [MindVirus], when you run apt-update ? | 08:55 |
| Tasbuntu | o: I guess so. But then how do I fix that? Is there a way to reset uSplash so that it shows the animations again? | 08:55 |
| NvidiaUser | Tasubuntu Can I pm you? | 08:55 |

| ajhtiredwolf | [MindVirus], you are saying when you did an "upgrade" not and update? | 08:56 |
| [DeViL_KiLLs] | may be gtkpod work fine? | 08:56 |
| Yondering | Brando753, it depends exactly what you want to do with it. | 08:57 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, I did both. | 08:57 |
| Brando753 | does anyone know its advantages over wine? | 08:57 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, that doesn't matter. | 08:57 |
| [MindVirus] | It's been happening for a while. | 08:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | [MindVirus], if you are wanting to know how to remove the package you can do sudo apt-get remove package name | 08:57 |
| [MindVirus] | No. | 08:57 |

| [MindVirus] | I don't want to remove it. | 08:57 |
| [MindVirus] | I want it to stop being held back. | 08:58 |
| Yondering | Brando753, check the compatibility lists. If it supports a program that you need, that wine doesn't support and you can't find a linux equivalent, then yeah.. it'd probably be worthwhile. | 08:58 |
| ajhtiredwolf | [MindVirus], did you try removing it and then readding it ? | 08:58 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, no. | 08:58 |
| [MindVirus] | I will try. | 08:58 |
| bbryant | has anyone been able to get gtkpod to work on 9.04? | 08:58 |
| [MindVirus] | bbryant, just ask your question. | 08:58 |
| devius | hello, i need some assistance installing the linux intel mesa driver from "http://intellinuxgraphics.org/", i get an error "configure: error: Expat required for DRI."...what am i todo.... | 08:59 |
| bbryant | [MindVirus]: it depends on a libgpod.so.3 library that's unavailable in the current repositories, and the current trunk build of gtkpod doesn't compile properly on my system | 08:59 |
| bbryant | I'm curious if anyone has come across that | 08:59 |
| Zephryos | Ziroday: Any suggestions? | 08:59 |
| [MindVirus] | bbryant, I didn't, in facty. | 08:59 |
| fletcherx | oo | 08:59 |
| [MindVirus] | *fact. | 08:59 |
| fletcherx | yyyu | 08:59 |
| [MindVirus] | But I removed gtkpod a little while back. | 08:59 |
| [MindVirus] | Did you try rolling back? | 09:00 |
| bbryant | not yet, the problem is with having a newer dependency than it looks for | 09:00 |
| === sean is now known as seansean | ||
| devius | hello, i need some assistance installing the linux intel mesa driver from "http://intellinuxgraphics.org/", i get an error "configure: error: Expat required for DRI."...what am i todo.... | 09:00 |
| [MindVirus] | bbryant, right, so if you roll back, it won't ask for a new dep. | 09:02 |
| [MindVirus] | If you can get an old version to run, then let it run until you can get the new version to. | 09:02 |
| [MindVirus] | Also, make sure your repos are fine. | 09:02 |
| bbryant | [MindVirus]: it's asking for an older dependency, and I can't roll pack the library package that's providing the newer file because the older version of libgpod is no longer available | 09:02 |
| devius | hello, i need some assistance installing the linux intel mesa driver from "http://intellinuxgraphics.org/", i get an error "configure: error: Expat required for DRI."...what am i todo.... | 09:03 |
| [MindVirus] | Wait wait, I thought it was asking for a *newer* version. | 09:03 |
| [MindVirus] | Oh, I see now. | 09:03 |
| bbryant | no | 09:03 |
| [MindVirus] | So what it depends on is too old. | 09:03 |
| bbryant | right | 09:04 |
| [MindVirus] | Interesting. Did you file a bug report? | 09:04 |
| [MindVirus] | (I assume you've updated and all) | 09:04 |
| [MindVirus] | bbryant, also, I don't know if you're interested but hipo will do the job as well. | 09:04 |
| bbryant | I haven't gotten that far yet | 09:04 |
| Zephryos | To Anyone: I think I just made my Kernel mad.. its saying [494.051027] Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!" .. Does this mean that Ubuntu is running.. but in text only? | 09:04 |
| bbryant | I just found that with synaptic | 09:04 |
| [MindVirus] | Not as many bells and whistles but it works. | 09:04 |
| bbryant | thanks | 09:04 |
| [MindVirus] | Aye. It's a lot prettier too. :) | 09:04 |
| devius | hello, i need some assistance installing the linux intel mesa driver from "http://intellinuxgraphics.org/", i get an error "configure: error: Expat required for DRI."...what am i todo.... | 09:05 |
| bbryant | Hipo worked fine, thanks [MindVirus] | 09:05 |
| [MindVirus] | devius, why are you installing a driver from a website? | 09:05 |
| [MindVirus] | bbryant, :) | 09:05 |
| bc | farciarz84: p.s. if it's not installed (i.e. dpkg -l | grep completion) then `sudo apt-get install bash-completion` | 09:06 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, thanks, BTW. | 09:06 |

| [MindVirus] | Unless you really know why and what you're doing. | 09:09 |
| devius | [MindVirus]: y's that | 09:09 |
| devius | aha | 09:09 |
| ajhtiredwolf | devius, what version are you using rihgt now? if your current drivers work couldnt you just use those in 9.04? | 09:09 |
| [MindVirus] | devius, because Synaptic takes care of dependencies and many other things. | 09:09 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, no. | 09:10 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, it's a pretty big kernel-side issue. | 09:10 |
| devius | ajhtiredwolf: u mean the version of ubuntu....9.04 | 09:10 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, if you're interested, there's a lot of reading to be done on the subject. | 09:10 |
| devius | ajhtiredwolf: and btw my current drivers dont work | 09:11 |
| ajhtiredwolf | [MindVirus], devius i see, in that case wait for 9.10, improvements to intel based cards is planned, maybe see how the alpha fucntions for you | 09:11 |
| [MindVirus] | ajhtiredwolf, he wants it now, obviously. :) | 09:11 |

| ajhtiredwolf | tobago, first off what is the proble your having with it ? | 09:20 |
| Lazengann | Just got my Ubuntu installed and running. | 09:20 |
| Lazengann | Liking it so far. | 09:20 |
| Lazengann | Previous Windows user. | 09:20 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, anyway i now use the onboard card. so it's the nvidia one | 09:21 |
| tripzero | what's the command in 9.04 to reenable X zap? | 09:21 |
| ajhtiredwolf | tobago, what is the problem your having with it? | 09:21 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, my problem: i want to record with audacity (or whatever) and want to make sure the mixer settings are correctly | 09:22 |
| tobago | so i want to use the line-in | 09:22 |
| ajhtiredwolf | tripzero, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap?action=show&redirect=DontZap | 09:22 |
| Burlynn | anyone running an ati 3200 okay under jaunty with the catalyst drivers? | 09:23 |
| ajhtiredwolf | tobago, did you check to see if line in is muted? | 09:23 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, i ensured there is a signal on the line-in, but the recording tool is not recognizing anything. | 09:23 |
| ajhtiredwolf | tobago, from what i remember, i think with audicity you might actually have to use a program called jack | 09:24 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, i will install it | 09:24 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, i installed jack too. | 09:25 |
| Futurity | Hi, I'm considering moving from openSuse10.3 to Ubuntu. OpenSuse provide security and bug fix updates for 2 years, does anyone know how long Ubuntu support their latest releases? | 09:25 |
| oladejo | register oladejo | 09:26 |
| Futurity | and if like openSuse it is sucurity and bug fix updates only, or new versions as well | 09:26 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, there is a seperate version that is supported longer | 09:26 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, i have opened the als mixer and choosen record. | 09:26 |
| Futurity | i know there is an LTS? version, but is that only security and bug fixes, or does that allow new versions to be installed? | 09:27 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, not sure :-P | 09:27 |
| Uhriventis | Hmm, just came from openSUSE because my girlfriend couldn't figure it out. | 09:27 |
| Futurity | when I say new versions, i mean does it suggest going from firefox 2 to firefox 3 when you run update? | 09:27 |
| Uhriventis | Kinda miss it. | 09:27 |
| Futurity | It is a nice desktop environment | 09:27 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, ive never ran the LTS version | 09:28 |
| oladejo | REGISTER <mariama><muhdoladejo@yahoo.com> | 09:28 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, there the "audio record" button is marked as disabled, enabling it and opening the record tab again, the button is still marked as disabled. | 09:28 |
| Futurity | but it's a nightmare to migrate from opensuse 10.2 to 10.3 for example | 09:28 |
| tobago | ajhtiredwolf, any idea? | 09:28 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, upgrading is usually fairly painless | 09:28 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, but I always wipe and reinstall just out of habbit | 09:28 |
| Uhriventis | I liked opensuse | 09:29 |
| Uhriventis | A lot | 09:29 |
| nmvictor | oladejo: its /REGISTER <usrename> <emailaddress> dont include the <> | 09:29 |
| Uhriventis | Ubuntu was my first. | 09:29 |
| Futurity | i'm basicallyu hoping that Ubuntu not only gives security and bug fix updates, but like Windows, tells you when new versions of software are available so that you can upgrade from Firefox to the latest version for example | 09:29 |
| Uhriventis | It's like losing your Linux virginity | 09:29 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, yes it does do that | 09:29 |
| Futurity | cool | 09:29 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, however with some programs you need to add their software repo to your source list | 09:29 |
| Futurity | in fact very cool :) | 09:29 |
| Futurity | i see | 09:30 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, because ubuntu isn't always very fast in doing that | 09:30 |
| mastermaikeru | I switched because I got tired of windows not utilizing my hardware to its fullest potential. | 09:30 |
| Futurity | i suppose like the Google software repository? | 09:30 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, yes or pidgin etc etc | 09:30 |
| lowkey1979 | Hi there. I've just installed the latest Ubuntu release, and the damn thing has some bug already. Anyone know more than me about how to fix this? | 09:30 |
| Futurity | don't worry moved away from Windows years ago ;) | 09:30 |
| oladejo | Ubuntu | 09:30 |
| Uhriventis | Pidgin is the greates | 09:30 |
| tobago | Futurity, and ubuntu is very reliable in release times. | 09:30 |
| Uhriventis | t | 09:30 |
| Futurity | Although loving the Apple Mac interface | 09:30 |
| nmvictor | Futurity: ofcourse it does that,also most software are coded to to do that,tell you when a new version of them is available | 09:30 |
| tess_ | hello every one - need help installing vmware player - its asking for "kernel headers 2.6.27-8-eeepc what is this and where do i find one??? | 09:31 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, i dont know how to fix some bug, but if you tell me whats wrong i might be able to help you | 09:31 |
| Uhriventis | I'm actually a native KDE 3.5 user. | 09:31 |
| lowkey1979 | Well here's the story. | 09:31 |
| Futurity | nmvictor: openSuse only tells you about security and bug fix versions for the release you have installed from their DVD | 09:31 |
| Uhriventis | I just got ubuntu because of the support. The support or at least at the time was samall for Kubuntu | 09:31 |
| Futurity | so you may get the latest firefox 2 with all the security and bug fixes finstalld | 09:31 |
| ajhtiredwolf | tobago, ehh, honestly i havent messed iwth audio recording in a while with ubuntu, i gave up trying to get my Mbox mini working in it | 09:31 |
| Futurity | but it won't move from Firefox 2 to firefox 3 | 09:31 |
| kgx | how do i rename my wireless device? its currently called "eth1" instead of "wlan0" | 09:32 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, i believe that FF 3 is intalled default in 9.04 | 09:32 |
| ajhtiredwolf | kgx, i think its in /etc/network/interfaces but im not sure | 09:32 |
| Futurity | the thing is that openSuse provide 2 years support on their latest erleases but i think Ubuntu is only 18 months for their latest releases | 09:32 |
| Uhriventis | I think one thing Ubuntu has over openSUSE is the family of users willing to help. | 09:32 |
| Futurity | i agree with that ;) | 09:32 |
| Uhriventis | A lot more Ubuntu users then SUSE | 09:32 |
| oladejo | am trying to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 9.04 after the upgrade i can not get my GUI again | 09:33 |
| Burlynn | ubuntu 8.10 new install on a laptop intel 945 chipset, normal visual effects, DarkRoom theme option, all my popup notifications are two colors, is this normal? the background is half tan half grey, does not look right | 09:33 |
| lowkey1979 | I just installed it for the first time. Last night I put it on hibernate. No problem up to now, running like a dream. Then, my girlfriend went to use it today. Naturally it wanted a password, so not know it she tried to switch users. The screen goes black. I come home and reboot and it crashes on the user login screen. | 09:33 |
| Futurity | i take it that the Ubuntu user base is now bigger than openSuse? | 09:33 |
| Uhriventis | I'm on 9.04 AMD64 | 09:33 |
| Uhriventis | A lot bigger | 09:33 |
| Uhriventis | By a long shot | 09:33 |
| Uhriventis | I would say thousands of bigger | 09:33 |
| tess_ | hello every one - need help installing vmware player - its asking for "kernel headers 2.6.27-8-eeepc what is this and where do i find one??? | 09:33 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, i used to have problems with hybernate, so i turned it off | 09:33 |
| lowkey1979 | It's like the display crashes or something. Flickers a lot then locks up. | 09:33 |
| Uhriventis | Right now I can't get 3D to work for some reason, but oh well. | 09:34 |
| Futurity | I'll check it out ;) | 09:34 |
| Futurity | thanks for all your advice | 09:34 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, you know if you wanted to just try it out first | 09:34 |
| lowkey1979 | Yeah, but now I'm having to use the install ISO disk just to get on and try and fix it. | 09:34 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Futurity, you could always just install a guest VB session in your current opensuse session | 09:34 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, so the gui will no longer show up? | 09:35 |
| Uhriventis | Futurity try Fedora | 09:35 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, if he's looking for friendly user support... i woudlnt try fedora :p | 09:35 |
| lowkey1979 | You think I need to resort to a reinstall? Will that get rid of what I've installed already or will it reinstall without reformatting? | 09:35 |
| nmvictor | Futurity: sorry i thought you were asking about ubuntu,wouldn you try #suse,if you need anything about them.sorry anyway | 09:35 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, that is the reason i switched to ubuntu | 09:35 |
| lowkey1979 | Nope, completely dead. | 09:35 |

| Uhriventis | I switched from Ubuntu for that "hands on" experience. | 09:35 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, what graphics card are you using? | 09:36 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, that temptation is there however I dont have the time :-P | 09:36 |
| lowkey1979 | Radeon 7000. But there were no problems before... | 09:36 |
| kwork | http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/177027/ | 09:36 |
| kwork | how is that possible | 09:36 |
| lowkey1979 | I think, I foger actually lol | 09:36 |
| Uhriventis | Haha, try Minix! | 09:36 |
| lowkey1979 | forget | 09:36 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, try reconfiguring the xorg.conf and if that doesnt work reinstall your ati display drivers | 09:36 |
| herb | hi everybody! | 09:37 |
| kwork | http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/177027/ <--- why i cant release upgrade ? | 09:37 |
| Uhriventis | http://www.minix3.org/ | 09:37 |
| Uhriventis | Talk about hard | 09:37 |
| hskill | how do i get ncurses.h? | 09:38 |
| Uhriventis | Or not hard... But, rather time consuming. | 09:38 |
| lowkey1979 | Hmmmm. New linux user here, I'd rather avoid killing it. How straightforward is that? The only command line stuff I know is DOS. I know, i know.... | 09:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:38 |
| herb | in my computer both speaker and headphone are working. But i thought if you connect headphone speakers shouldn't work. How can i fix it? thanx! | 09:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, run that | 09:38 |
| kwork | do i need to set new aptsouces to upgrade from 8.0.2 ? | 09:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, that will reconfigure the xorg.conf | 09:38 |
| Uhriventis | DOS CMD is harder than UNIX command | 09:38 |
| lowkey1979 | Ok... | 09:38 |
| indus | herb: u mean u still hear sound from the speakers | 09:39 |
| lowkey1979 | One sec, will give it a go... | 09:39 |
| Uhriventis | UNIX is much more straight forward. So if you have DOS skills you can UNIX around fine | 09:39 |
| herb | indus, yes | 09:39 |
| devius | Uhriventis: **not** | 09:39 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, dont do that in your live session | 09:39 |
| areels | wine is a poison! it poisons linux knowledgebase! | 09:39 |
| indus | herb: laptop? | 09:39 |
| ajhtiredwolf | lowkey1979, do it in the installed session | 09:39 |
| areels | what are alternatives to firefox on ubuntu? | 09:39 |
| herb | indus, yes | 09:39 |
| Uhriventis | Devius: Yet | 09:39 |
| Uhriventis | Yet | 09:39 |
| Uhriventis | Uhg yes | 09:39 |
| herb | and mine is xubuntu | 09:39 |
| areels | safari and opera are not supported on ubuntu? | 09:39 |
| indus | herb: which version\o f ubunty | 09:39 |
| nmvictor | areels:midori | 09:40 |
| herb | 9.04 | 09:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, I think opera is, not sure about safara | 09:40 |
| areels | nmvictor: i've trouble with flash, is midori better? | 09:40 |
| nmvictor | areels:but firefox still stands out to be the best you'll ever get | 09:40 |
| Uhriventis | I leared UNIX command much easier then DOS | 09:40 |
| indus | herb: have you tried in windows? Have similar issue? | 09:40 |
| Uhriventis | *learned | 09:40 |
| areels | nmvictor: flashs are sluggish on firefox don't know why | 09:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | nmvictor, chrome is the best imho :P | 09:40 |
| herb | indus, i don't have windows on my laptop | 09:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, have you heard of swiftweasel? | 09:40 |
| areels | i believe the chrome is best too ajhtiredwolf | 09:40 |
| Uhriventis | What is your resolution set to? Might have a reason for lag | 09:41 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, it is an alternative to firefox, made for linux, runs faster | 09:41 |
| areels | haven't heard of it ajhtiredwolf but i know iceweasel | 09:41 |
| nmvictor | areels:i could help you with flash,maybe you need the latest version,you have it? | 09:41 |
| lowkey1979 | Yeah, true lol. | 09:41 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, as far as flash though, that is a problem with flash not firefox | 09:41 |
| Uhriventis | I just got flash working on 9.04 | 09:41 |
| areels | yes it's the latest and i'm using adobe's extension nmvictor | 09:41 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, you can try some of the open source solutions to flash but they are not that great imho | 09:41 |
| areels | well i've tried recommended swf extension but it was sluggish either | 09:42 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, try gnash | 09:42 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, other than that, flash jus runs slow in linux from my experience | 09:42 |
| areels | yea i mean that, it really works slow | 09:42 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, you might get some performance gains in swiftweasel | 09:43 |
| Uhriventis | ajhtiredwolf: In openSUSE worked fine for me. Just like XP | 09:43 |
| ajhtiredwolf | areels, simply because it isnt super bloated like firefox | 09:43 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as Caffeinated | ||
| Uhriventis | Ubuntu seems slower | 09:43 |
| areels | well let me try swiftweasel then | 09:43 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, never used openSUSE but i had the problem in all distros ive used | 09:43 |
| Uhriventis | ajhtiredwolf: Old hardware? | 09:44 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, not at all :-P | 09:44 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, Intel Duo 7400 geforce 8800gt OC edition, 4gig ram | 09:44 |
| Uhriventis | ajhtiredworlf: That was my problem. I updated slightly and things work a lot better. | 09:44 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, I use linux for gaming too so i need something that can keep up | 09:44 |
| Uhriventis | ajhtiredwolf: Might be ahead of your game in that case. | 09:45 |

| ajhtiredwolf | Uhriventis, I suppose, but then there is the fact that xp makes the default user adminstrator | 09:49 |
| Uhriventis | Besides, Linux just bought a bunch of code from Microsoft anyways. | 09:49 |

| Uhriventis | ;^) | 09:51 |
| asafche | GibbaTheHutt, the send mail are configured as smtp. the answer is yes for your question. | 09:52 |
| jimi_ | ty | 09:52 |
| GibbaTheHutt | asafche, and what about the different ISPs, is one of them the same as the mail account you are using ? | 09:52 |
| luzze | oh,my god | 09:52 |
| jimi_ | whats the channel for gaming on ubuntu? | 09:53 |
| asafche | GibbaTheHutt, no. my e-mail is at lunarpages, a host. company, and the ISP is another communication comp. | 09:54 |

| Simon1 | anyone know a good site for setting up jaunty to use a mobile phone for internet via bluetooth? | 09:55 |
| asafche | GibbaTheHutt, maybe it's the router? it can be so? | 09:55 |
| GibbaTheHutt | asafche, it could still be ISP, could be router if it has some odd settings, but less likely, do you have any other email accounts you can test with ? | 09:55 |

| infinityxi | q0s: i only have adobe's flash in and everything works, maybe having swfdec in messes things up. I cannot confirm that though | 10:39 |
| Surlent777 | and from what little I saw, it looks like it was mostly txt files...one I saw looked like an XML file and mentioned GNOME_Internet and KDE | 10:39 |

| iceroot | pkkm: if you want restart your x-server ctrl + alt + backspace | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !dontzap | 10:42 |
| ubottu | 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. | 10:42 |

| Surlent777 | structured like XML, I think | 10:43 |
| JNSamuel | bah | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: use the file command against one of your images, or an mp3 or something | 10:43 |
| infinityxi | q0s: i usually just stick with adobe as much as flash sucks because I know the other alternatives aren't really on par right now | 10:44 |

| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: it will tell you what it is, it will say the same even if you change the file extension | 10:44 |

| mrwes | ActionParsnip, Runny Jaunty here and I added the PPA for Open Office 3.1, but the update says packages were 'held' back, what causes that? | 10:44 |

| ActionParsnip | 8.3 sorry | 10:47 |
| infinityxi | seems to be on par with your error though there is very little info to go on besides that error | 10:48 |
| Surlent777 | ActionParsnip: Maybe, but it is terribly useful for organization | 10:48 |
| zhurai | nixot: meh | 10:48 |
| nixot | zhurai: :P | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: oh totally, you can name them anything you want | 10:48 |
| T-KILLER | infinityxi: thanks, just going to take a look | 10:48 |
| infinityxi | Surlent777: no they really aren't because they are arbitrary | 10:48 |
| infinityxi | i can name my text file textfile.mp3 | 10:48 |
| zhurai | screwed up my /etc/group file, and now everything else is getting screwed up in ubuntu, and I have a frickin adware in this windows partition =_= | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: you'll find folks use .sh for shell scripts and .py for python but it doesnt make any difference :) | 10:48 |
| infinityxi | it just makes the filetype wrong in windows | 10:49 |
| Surlent777 | ActionParsnip: I was meaning that it's nice when people stick to convention....for instance, it'd be great to know if ~/image is a picture or a tar file, for instance, without having to do extra work | 10:49 |
| nixot | infinityxi: Why would you want to do that? | 10:49 |
| zhurai | apparently, after I "edited" the groups in "Users and Groups" I lost my /etc/group, which I restored...somewhat. I got back audio,video,gdm,sudo,admin, but I can't access shutdown/restart, certain System->Administration things (such as User and Groups again, Services, etc) as well as I have no internet connection (I have Atheros, which worked out of the box before)... umm I need help on fixing this (preferably without reinstalling ubuntu | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: precisely, but you can cross name if you wish | 10:49 |
| Surlent777 | yeah, I realize that | 10:49 |
| T-KILLER | infinityxi: I have followed the thread you posted and it is of no use. I'm using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu Server 9... Please help specific to 32 bit, thanks | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: or even make your own extension up that is very long | 10:49 |
| Guest86300 | another question...in a makefile i have this line : "ARCH_DIR = $(if $(filter $(ARCH),x86_64 i386),x86,$(ARCH))" ....i would like to know the value of the ARCH-DIR variable....how could i do that? | 10:49 |
| zhurai | hm, I should make a timer that auto says that every 10 minutes or so =_=...bleh | 10:49 |
| infinityxi | T-KILLER: sorry about that | 10:49 |
| Surlent777 | I got that idea from the "dot folders" | 10:49 |
| infinityxi | nixot: what are you talking about? | 10:49 |
| Surlent777 | but yes, thanks for the advice, everyone | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: echo $ARCH_DIR | 10:50 |
| Surlent777 | time to go to sleep, it's 3am here | 10:50 |
| Guest86300 | ActionParsnip: i tried.....but nothing | 10:50 |
| zhurai | ...wow, he's in same timezone as me? | 10:50 |
| T-KILLER | infinityxi: I read the bit about the ffmpeg source code containing a file that was mis-named but i checked the source code folder and the file is named fine with the sextention *.lo not *.loT which was mentioned in the thred | 10:50 |
| lightbricko | In OpenOffice, How do I hide the "Page Number" from the first page in a document? | 10:51 |
| Guest86300 | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/177071/ | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | lightbricko: i'd ask in #openoffice.org | 10:51 |
| lightbricko | ActionParsnip: ok, thxc | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: why are you doing basic stuff like that as root? | 10:51 |
| infinityxi | lightbricko: http://www.tipsfor.us/2007/05/05/tip-of-the-day-hiding-the-first-page-number-in-openoffice/ | 10:51 |
| infinityxi | it's all over the web | 10:51 |
| meganox | can anyone point me to any information at all that could help me troubleshoot why I can't burn CDs? I don't know where to start. | 10:52 |
| Surlent777 | OK, 1 more thing. Seems that there's a /root/.local/share/Trash or something like that | 10:52 |
| Surlent777 | just how many Trash folders does one system need?! | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | meganox: what happens when you try? What apps have you tried to burn with? | 10:52 |
| nixot | is there a list of repositories that I could add to my computer anywhere on the web? | 10:52 |
| lightbricko | infinityxi: Thx | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: one for each user | 10:52 |
| Guest86300 | long story but i have to know which is the value of ARCH_DIR could u help me? | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !trash | Surlent777 | 10:52 |
| ubottu | Surlent777: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 10:52 |
| Surlent777 | =O | 10:52 |
| zhurai | hm... apparently, after I "edited" the groups in "Users and Groups" I lost my /etc/group, which I restored...somewhat. I got back audio,video,gdm,sudo,admin, but I can't access shutdown/restart, certain System->Administration things (such as User and Groups again, Services, etc) as well as I have no internet connection (I have Atheros, which worked out of the box before)... umm I need help on fixing this (preferably without reinstalling | 10:53 |
| Surlent777 | I still have a ~./Trash folder | 10:53 |
| infinityxi | nixot: repositories for what? | 10:53 |
| zhurai | =_= | 10:53 |
| Surlent777 | does this mean that it is now obsolete? | 10:53 |
| zhurai | x.x | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: if the variable is not being set a value it will report as nothing, set it to something first, then if it gets changed you know the command is working | 10:53 |
| infinityxi | nixot: specific software for what? | 10:53 |
| zhurai | I should go to sleep, almost 3 AM, but I need this fixed ;-;;;;; | 10:53 |
| nixot | Ermm | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: why are you doing stuff like that as root, are you logged in as root? | 10:54 |
| infinityxi | almost 6 am here | 10:54 |
| Guest86300 | yes i'm logged as root | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: why? | 10:54 |
| meganox | ActionParsnip: all the available gnome apps, UNetbootlin. I just get burn errors 3/4 of the way through every time, tried different media, i found some stuff online about scsi or ata emulation of ide but i can't find it again | 10:54 |
| nixot | infinityxi: I'm not really specific about what software, it's really a variety of programs that I can't find in what repositories it came with. | 10:54 |
| ReiNDeer | Hey all! Any link/help on adding an icon to the Panel, that tells if certain program is running or not? Could simply be like red/green light and program name when mouse is over it.. any help would be nice.. | 10:54 |
| infinityxi | prancing around as root is pretty dangerous | 10:54 |
| ReiNDeer | msg me thx.. | 10:54 |
| zhurai | infinityxi: I'm a high school student, and I have school tomorrow, that's what I mean -_- | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | meganox: did you md5 check the iso? are you burning as slowly as possible? | 10:54 |
| meganox | ActionParsnip: i thought it might have something to do with the change from /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX | 10:55 |
| Guest86300 | because i'm developping some kernel for my bachelor's degree and i need root privileges | 10:55 |
| zhurai | apparently, after I "edited" the groups in "Users and Groups" I lost my /etc/group, which I restored...somewhat. I got back audio,video,gdm,sudo,admin, but I can't access shutdown/restart, certain System->Administration things (such as User and Groups again, Services, etc) as well as I have no internet connection (I have Atheros, which worked out of the box before)... umm I need help on fixing this (preferably without reinstalling ubuntu | 10:55 |
| nixot | infinityxi: Debian repositories preferably. | 10:55 |
| Guest86300 | kernel modules | 10:55 |
| nixot | brb getting my charger | 10:55 |
| Surlent777 | ok, whose Trash is in .local here? Root again, or mine? | 10:55 |
| meganox | ActionParsnip: isos are fine, also all the GUI tools try to burn at max speed no matter what I select | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: ok well you know all about root account enablement being bad and full access possibly breaking stuff | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | meganox: brasero doesnt | 10:55 |
| zhurai | *gnome-system-tools apparently actually O_o | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | meganox: just before you hit the last burn button, click properties | 10:56 |
| zhurai | apparently, after I "edited" the groups in "Users and Groups" I lost my /etc/group, which I restored...somewhat. I got back audio,video,gdm,sudo,admin, but I can't access shutdown/restart, certain System->Administration things (gnome-system-tools) as well as I have no internet connection (I have Atheros, which worked out of the box before)... umm I need help on fixing this (preferably without reinstalling ubuntu 9.04 from scratch) >_> | 10:56 |
| Guest86300 | ActionParsnip: i have not understand | 10:56 |
| nixot | back | 10:56 |
| meganox | ActionParsnip: yes, i select the lowest speed but then the output tells me it's attempting the highest speed | 10:56 |
| Surlent777 | relax zhurai, your last message still on screen | 10:56 |
| Surlent777 | is^ | 10:56 |
| infinityxi | Guest86300: you can do all that stuff on a need to do basis using sudo | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: enabling the root account is not needed nor advised for security reasons. You can access anything you need as user using sudo and gksudo | 10:57 |
| zhurai | =_= | 10:57 |
| Guest86300 | yes yes i know but i prefer this way.... :D | 10:57 |
| meganox | ActionParsnip: i though lots of people had had similar problems, but i'm just not finding anything relevant today | 10:57 |
| Name141 | I have tried unetbootin-windows-323.exe , to try and make a bootable flash drive. I select the Ubuntu ISO, and it goes through the process OK. Then when I restart to try to boot from the flash drive, it says "boot failed". | 10:57 |
| Surlent777 | ...this .local trash seems to be much the same as the /root/.Trash | 10:57 |
| infinityxi | you can write your code under your personal account and when you need to do anything that needs root, you can always sudo or gksudo like ActionParsnip suggestd | 10:57 |
| nixot | infinityxi: I was looking for debian repositories... I'm a bit of a linux noob | 10:57 |
| infinityxi | nixot: packages.debian.org is a good place to start | 10:58 |
| cyberjorge | what's the command to open xorg in gedit? | 10:58 |
| zhurai | hm... might have something to do with: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/236305 (my bug...somewhat) ? | 10:58 |
| infinityxi | nixot: they have info and lists on that site | 10:58 |
| zhurai | =_= | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: root is common to all *nix systems so hackers need nowonly guess your root password, if the account is disabled there is a 0% chance of success, an attacker would have to gues your user name and password | 10:58 |
| Surlent777 | Name141: Try redownloading the ISO | 10:58 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: the MD5Sum came up fine | 10:58 |
| nixot | OK | 10:58 |
| zhurai | cyberjorge: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:58 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: this happened with DSL also | 10:58 |
| Surlent777 | Name141: Then I have no idea =/ Unetbootin has always worked for me | 10:58 |
| meganox | Guest86300: you can use the command "sudo -i" to get into a root shell | 10:59 |
| macubuntu | is anybody working with macpro and ubuntu 9.04 ?????????????????????????? | 10:59 |
| Surlent777 | I just used it to install 9.04 on a friend's laptop last week | 10:59 |
| Guest86300 | meganox: ok thank u | 10:59 |
| Surlent777 | no, we have taste | 10:59 |
| nixot | infnityxi: Should I add it like that to the package manager? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: running web apps (especialy irc clients) is massively foolhardy as these are exposed to the world and can easily be captured and their access level gained. If this is a user level the system access is massively reduced | 10:59 |
| rioch | I've created an ext3 partition on a usb drive, but when I plug it in it mounts as root (automatically). So, I can't write to it. How can I change that? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: the account is not disabled to annoy you or to get in your way, its dont for a million very good reasons | 10:59 |
| Guest86300 | i'm using irc chat in another machine...not in the one i'm logged in as root | 11:00 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: should I try some kind of manual ways of going about it? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: i'm just telling you why logging on as root is hideosly bad | 11:00 |
| meganox | ActionParsnip: can you tell me, the "s" in "/dev/sda1", does it stand for SCSI or SATA? | 11:00 |
| Guest86300 | ok now i know....thank u | 11:00 |
| Surlent777 | Name141: hmm, idea. Try deleting the parition you have on the USB drive, and then manually re-creating a Fat32 | 11:00 |
| cyberjorge | zhurai: thanks, one more... how about menu.list under grub? | 11:00 |
| Surlent777 | partition* | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86300: i'd ask in #bash for your script thing. They will have a lot of info | 11:01 |
| infinityxi | Guest86300: but what if you accidentally run a script or a program that has unchecked access to your file system | 11:01 |
| infinityxi | or what if you do something dumb (happens to the best of us) | 11:01 |
| Lint01 | are there some CUI analogs to Synaptic? | 11:01 |
| icqn | what is wrong with ubuntu? has something changed? there are rare updates for january, and no body replies to the bugs i have submitted, about craches in nautilus, acpi issues on my laptop... | 11:01 |
| infinityxi | not being root covers your ass a lot better | 11:01 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: I'm unable to delete partition on the flash drive in Disk Management | 11:01 |
| Surlent777 | wat | 11:01 |
| cyberjorge | zhurai: sudo /boot/grub/menu.list doesn't work | 11:01 |
| Surlent777 | use sudo gparted | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | meganox: my PATA disks pick up as sda in all my systems. I'm not sure | 11:01 |
| infinityxi | cyberjorge: i think you forgot the gedit part | 11:01 |
| Surlent777 | cyberjorge: that is a text file. Use sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:02 |
| meganox | ActionParsnip: OK thanks anyway | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | and gksudo instead of sudo | 11:02 |
| Surlent777 | or that | 11:02 |
| meganox | will keep trawling | 11:02 |
| xukun | is possible to send all sound to pulseaudio using the spdif? I now have sound on some programs and some not | 11:02 |
| infinityxi | yeah ActionParsnip made me learn something today. use gksudo | 11:02 |
| Lint01 | icqn, that's how FOSS works... | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | infinityxi: gksudo is for gui apps like gedit, nautilus etc | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | infinityxi: sudo is for stuff like, mv, ln, cp, rm etc | 11:02 |
| Flannel | Lint01: What do you mean? | 11:02 |
| infinityxi | ActionParsnip: i know you told me earlier, tell the other guy | 11:02 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: Would it be possible just to have a LIVE disk version of it with it on Flash rather than DVD | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | infinityxi: :D | 11:03 |
| infinityxi | ActionParsnip: I am telling you that i learned this from you earlier, and i am passing on good info :-) | 11:03 |
| Surlent777 | ActionParsnip: I've noticed that like, in KDE for instance, gksudo nautilus --no-desktop won't work, but changing gksudo to sudo makes it work | 11:03 |
| Surlent777 | Name141: I assumed that's what you were doing to begin with | 11:03 |
| unimatrix9 | hi there | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Surlent777: kde uses kdesudo to achieve the same end | 11:03 |
| bluepencil | Guys, what would be the easiest way to transfer a file from one Ubuntu machine to the Other? | 11:03 |
| Surlent777 | ActionParsnip: But gksudo works with other things under KDE, such as Synaptic | 11:03 |
| meganox | Surlent777: gksudo 'nautilus --no-desktop' works for me, for some reason that command needs quotes | 11:03 |
| unimatrix9 | how well does 9.10 perform? is it better then 9.04? | 11:04 |
| infinityxi | bluepencil: sftp | 11:04 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: Yes. I tried copying the files manually on to the flash drive, still no dice. | 11:04 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip, Surlent777: kdesu, kdesudo doesn't exist. | 11:04 |
| icqn | Lint01, bull...t, it is how ubuntu works, do not mix all in one cup | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bluepencil: shared folder on one system | 11:04 |
| Flannel | unimatrix9: 9.10 doesn't perform yet ;) | 11:04 |
| meganox | unimatrix9: you from the future? | 11:04 |
| unimatrix9 | Flannel daily build | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: works here, strange. Maybe because i upgraded(?) | 11:04 |
| bluepencil | ActionParsnip: i did share one folder, but when i say Connect to Server, i type the IP address of the target machine, and it states cant open smb share. | 11:04 |
| unimatrix9 | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ | 11:04 |
| zhurai | can someone with jaunty put their /etc/group file on pastebin for me please? | 11:04 |
| Flannel | unimatrix9: #ubuntu+1, 9.10 doesn't exist, Karmic does. | 11:04 |
| unimatrix9 | 9.10 daily build | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bluepencil: can you ping the ip? | 11:05 |
| Lint01 | anyway, are there some CUI analogs to Synaptic? | 11:05 |
| bluepencil | Yes mate | 11:05 |
| zhurai | ..x.x | 11:05 |
| infinityxi | aptitude | 11:05 |
| Surlent777 | Name141: Copying manually is a poor idea unless you know what you're doing. My advice is to gksudo gparted, unmount the USB, delete the partition, apply, recreate Fat32, apply, remount the USB, open unetbootin, choose the iso, hit OK | 11:05 |
| jimi_ | hi guys, how do i edit the registry in ubuntu | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !samba | bluepencil | 11:05 |
| DjAngo23 | Hey, is there a way to change the default program to open a for example .php file, via console. Because with open with, choose application, it does not save my preferences... | 11:05 |
| ubottu | bluepencil: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 11:05 |
| infinityxi | Lint01: aptitude should work | 11:05 |
| unimatrix9 | so i guess we dont know yet.. | 11:05 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: eh? | 11:05 |
| bluepencil | ActionParsnip: i go Connect to Server: Windows Share etc | 11:05 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: those are linux commands | 11:05 |
| zhurai | <jimi_> hi guys, how do i edit the registry in ubuntu <-- unless you mean gconf, there isn't a registry | 11:05 |
| Surlent777 | ...ohhhhh | 11:05 |
| Surlent777 | you're on Windows | 11:05 |
| Surlent777 | uh | 11:05 |
| Flannel | unimatrix9: Again, #ubuntu+1 is for the development version, this channel is not. | 11:05 |
| Surlent777 | huh | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bluepencil: then i'd check samba settings | 11:05 |
| FloodBot2 | Surlent777: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:05 |
| infinityxi | jimi_: what are you trying to do? | 11:05 |
| unimatrix9 | ok, i see | 11:06 |
| q0s | hey guys. at startup an application asks for access to my keyring. but there is nothing about any application name. how can i found out whats going on? | 11:06 |
| bluepencil | ActionParsnip: could it be that samba isnt active on the other machine? | 11:06 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: that's correct. | 11:06 |
| DjAngo23 | Hey, is there a way to change the default program to open a for example .php file, via console. Because with open with, choose application, it does not save my preferences ? | 11:06 |
| bluepencil | ActionParsnip: there are about 50 ubuntu machines here. | 11:06 |
| jimi_ | infinityxi, doing a tweak for frame rate performance in wow, im trying to get wow working in ubunutu | 11:06 |
| Flannel | !repeat | DjAngo23 | 11:06 |
| ubottu | DjAngo23: 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 | 11:06 |
| zhurai | apparently, after I "edited" the groups in "Users and Groups" I lost my /etc/group, which I restored...somewhat. I got back audio,video,gdm,sudo,admin, but I can't access shutdown/restart, certain System->Administration things (gnome-system-tools) as well as I have no internet connection (I have Atheros, which worked out of the box before)... umm I need help on fixing this (preferably without reinstalling ubuntu 9.04 from scratch) >_> || | 11:06 |
| T-KILLER | I have compiled and installed the latest 32 bit FFMPEG and now I am trying to compile and install the latest FFMPEG-PHP but am coming across the error "make: *** [ffmpeg_frame.lo] Error 1" someone help fix this please ? | 11:06 |
| infinityxi | jimi_: oh so you mean in wine | 11:06 |
| zhurai | =_= the more wait, the more I think up of, the longer my message apparently | 11:06 |
| jimi_ | infinityxi, aye | 11:06 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: maybe I'll just go back to hardy till the next LTS.. if I go back | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bluepencil: you will have an smbclient app on each system, you need to install samba on the server system so the sharing will work | 11:06 |
| Lint01 | infinityxi: isn't aptitude CLI package manager? | 11:06 |
| Surlent777 | Name141: I'm actually not sure how to do that under Windows...but I know that reformatting the partition makes it work just fine...try just doing regular format from the right-click menu | 11:07 |
| Flannel | Lint01: Isn't that what you asked for? | 11:07 |
| infinityxi | Lint01: oh i thought that's what you were asking for | 11:07 |
| jimi_ | infinityxi, im just following a tut for it on winehq and it says to open the reg editor | 11:07 |
| DjAngo23 | !patience | 11:07 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 11:07 |
| bluepencil | ActionParsnip: Ah ok, makes sense, thanks. | 11:07 |
| Name141 | Surlent777: I have reformatted it many times. | 11:07 |
| bluepencil | ActionParsnip: The Windows share works fine when i connect from Win machines to this ubuntu box. | 11:07 |
| Surlent777 | Name141: All I know is that manually killing it and doing it again works for me. And I have gotten the 9.04 ISO's to work, both 32 and 64, with unetbootin | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bluepencil: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install samba | 11:08 |
| bluepencil | ActionParsnip: its only when i try to connect to the win share on this machine from an Ubuntu machine that it freak sout. | 11:08 |

| Raj | Hi anybody reply me | 11:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: well if you buy a machine w/ ubuntu installed, its pretty much guaranteed everything will work. | 11:11 |
| infinityxi | Name141: I think they have some dell repos and packages for drivers they ship, as well as some branding | 11:11 |
| nixot | infinityx: With your help I managed to install the program I needed. | 11:11 |
| nixot | I mean of course, infinityxi | 11:12 |
| zhurai | <Raj> Hi anybody reply me <-- IE isn't made for Linux. | 11:12 |
| infinityxi | oh and the mp3 and DVD playback is paid for and legit | 11:12 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: So I might should try it if I have a problem with something not working off bat from the regular CDs? | 11:12 |
| nixot | infinityxi: With your help I installed the program I needed from a repository... Thank you very much :D | 11:12 |
| gordonjcp | Raj: zhurai already said, ies4linux | 11:12 |
| filthpig | Name141: Yes, they have added a proprietary graphics driver for the 10" version, and they have made their own interface (a bit like the Xandros/Linus distros but with a twist) | 11:12 |
| Surlent777 | what the ...?! THIS WASN | 11:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: it all depends on your hardware, theres a lot of different dells out there. | 11:12 |
| Surlent777 | 'T HERE BEFORE | 11:12 |
| gordonjcp | Raj: the fonts are a bit different but it will show up gross rendering bugs in IE | 11:13 |
| infinityxi | Dells are weird, the same model may have dozens of different hardware configs | 11:13 |
| infinityxi | and this is annoying in the windows world | 11:13 |
| Raj | zhurai: Thankyou I have no internet connection but i want to install codecs for many media formats such as mp3 etc., how can i do | 11:13 |
| gordonjcp | Raj: What exactly are you trying to do? | 11:13 |
| indus | hi folks | 11:13 |
| Surlent777 | what does the DVD have that the CD doesn't? | 11:13 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: mine didn't come with Ubuntu, it came with XP. However, I have been having a problem with the NIC (Possible the new e1000e vs e1000 module?) since Intrepid and up | 11:13 |
| zhurai | if you have no internet connection | 11:13 |
| zhurai | how are you on IRC? | 11:13 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: I was guessing that maybe the Dell DVD would have the correct thing already/ | 11:14 |
| Name141 | ? | 11:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: i would say thats unlikely | 11:14 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: Ok. | 11:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: the dell version of ubuntu, is made for dell pc's that they install ubuntu on... i mean it might work.. but its a crapshoot. | 11:14 |
| infinityxi | Name141: you might have to mess with ndiswrapper | 11:14 |
| Surlent777 | oh man, never mind...I need to get to bed... | 11:14 |
| infinityxi | as much as i hate messing with ndiswrapper or recommending it | 11:15 |
| infinityxi | if you have no other option but to use that NIC | 11:15 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: It's odd that it just went "BOOOOOOOM" in Intrepid and now Jaunty. | 11:15 |
| infinityxi | oh | 11:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: i've really never had an NIC not work w/ Ubuntu.. wireless, is another story. | 11:15 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: It worked perfect in Hardy | 11:15 |
| infinityxi | sounds like a bug report | 11:16 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: it works sometimes, doens't work sometimes.. when it works.. if I reset the modem/router it wont work again till a reboot/blue moon | 11:16 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: http://hardware4linux.info/component/34798/ | 11:16 |
| Name141 | that's all I find on it | 11:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: are you using 64bit? | 11:17 |
| Name141 | No | 11:17 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: I was thinking about buying the AMD 64 bit ,but got the intel dual core. | 11:17 |
| Name141 | (not that that matters) | 11:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: well, that wasn't the point, some drivers are still shaky w/ the 64bit distros... i was goign to suggest trying the 32bit, even if you had 64bit hardware.. | 11:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: how does lspci identify your ethernet controlle? | 11:18 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: It wasn't shaky in Hardy. But soon as I tried the LIVE CD on Intrepid and Jaunty, it just sits there and tries to connect but never does. | 11:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | NIC controller... sorry, tired | 11:18 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: The same as Windows | 11:19 |
| zhurai | zzz | 11:19 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: Intel 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection | 11:19 |
| infinityxi | yeah worst case scenario would be to use ndiswrapper but i hate that solution because if you get a kernel update, you usually have to go back and redo it. | 11:19 |
| jimi_ | hi peeps, i have just visted intellinuxgraphics.org and they have a driver i wana test so i can get WoW working....i have downloaded tem but im not sure how to run and install them cause im new at linux | 11:19 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: ndiswrapper? | 11:19 |
| jimi_ | also there is a 2d and a 3d driver, do i need to install both? | 11:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Name141: lspci is that the output of lspci or is that how its identified in windows? | 11:19 |
| infinityxi | Name141: yeah it basically uses a windows driver for your hardware in linux | 11:19 |
| infinityxi | it's a very last resort sort of solution | 11:20 |
| Name141 | IndyGunFreak: I checked before , and yes it is the same | 11:20 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: maybe I should try that on my sound too, the sound was low low lowww | 11:20 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: (in ubuntu) | 11:20 |
| infinityxi | Name141: you checked all the volume controls? mine was low on this laptop until i upped the general speaker volume | 11:21 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: Yes | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | jimi_: what graphic card do you have ? | 11:22 |
| infinityxi | ndiswrapper is just for network devices though. should have been more specific | 11:22 |
| Name141 | infinityxi: I had everything to 100% and still couldn't compare to restarting and the windows login blowing my ears off | 11:22 |
| jimi_ | intel integrated | 11:22 |
| jimi_ | erUSUL, intel integrated, its a laptop | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | jimi_: and 3d accel is not working by default ? | 11:23 |
| jimi_ | erUSUL, i can run WoW, i just need to sort th frame rate out and apparently thats what this driver has fixed | 11:23 |
| infinityxi | There are a few threads out there about low sound on 9.04 | 11:24 |
| infinityxi | worth checking out | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | jimi_: are you on jaunty ? | 11:24 |
| indus | infinityxi: yeah sound keeps changing with every restart | 11:24 |

| amagee | IndyGunFreak: install ON a pendrive | 11:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | amagee: or for that matter, just use a pen drive as a "live cd". | 11:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | amagee: ah, theres tutorials out there.. most with marginal success at best, i've never had much luck w/ it | 11:37 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 11:53 |
| ozzmosis | ub_: probably a bug | 11:53 |
| shervin | I have tried xfix, dpkg Repair Broken packages but nothing works. I am stuck | 11:54 |
| ub_ | ozzmosis: What kind of mediaplayer do you use? | 11:54 |
| bluepencil | ozzmosis, hey man, if you were 10.0.0.1 and wanted a file called Bob.txt from /home/bob on 10.0.0.2, what commands would you use to retrieve it? (via ssh)? | 11:55 |
| ozzmosis | ub_: RhythmBox in Ubuntu or Winamp in XP | 11:55 |
| badfish69 | foobar in win7 | 11:55 |
| thuglife999 | indus: i am going to install KDE on ubuntu8.10 | 11:56 |

| lesshaste_ | is it possible to run an intrepid or jaunty kernel on hardy? | 11:56 |
| indus | thuglife999: yes | 11:56 |
| ozzmosis | bluepencil: except Ubuntu has SSH server disabled by default, so you'll have to enable that (on 10.0.0.2) | 11:57 |
| indus | thuglife999: but be prepared to have a menu full of kde and gnome applications | 11:57 |
| thuglife999 | indus and on login to ubuntu will i get option to boot to which desktop???? | 11:57 |
| indus | thuglife999: yes | 11:57 |
| bluepencil | ozzmosis, ah ok, in Admin > Services? | 11:57 |
| thuglife999 | indus: what do you mean menu full of kde applications? | 11:57 |

| indus | IndyGunFreak: thuglife999:yeah thats a better way to put it :) | 11:58 |

| RR | KDE themes are developed fully in C++ | 11:58 |
| Gymnopaul | hello world :) ! | 11:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | thats the only thing i don't like about installing another GUI.. if you could separate them.. kde fo kde, gnome for gnome, i'd do it. | 11:58 |
| indus | thuglife999: he/she just means a lot of extra menus and kde apps | 11:59 |
| thuglife999 | i see | 11:59 |
| RR | I there any other themes other than this | 11:59 |
| Gymnopaul | does anybody speak french here ? | 11:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | but i consider KDE a linux virus, so i wouldn't use it.. but probably xfce, or flux | 11:59 |

| DjAngo23 | !fr Gymnopaul | 12:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fr Gymnopaul | 12:00 |
| RR | Is mp3 a proprited codec | 12:00 |
| indus | thuglife999:they both are the same, add/remove is just a mini version of synaptic | 12:00 |
| Gymnopaul | ok j'ai une question sur 8.10 : j'ai dans mon tableau de bord un panneau danger "Les informations de mises à jour sont obsolètes" | 12:00 |
| ozzmosis | Gymnopaul: English... | 12:00 |
| indus | thuglife999: if u click add/remove and click advanced , you go to synaptic | 12:00 |

| abbazabba | i installed wine, then installed exact audio copy, hoping to rip some cds, but it didn't work the way i wanted it to.. now, i uninstalled wine through add/remove but there is still the exact audio copy folder in my applications menu (even though i uninstalled it via wine).. how do i get rid of it? | 12:01 |

| RR | ozzmosis: Linux Terminal Support project | 12:02 |
| montmartrubuntu | tu régles cela par rapport à tes updates sources | 12:02 |
| ozzmosis | bluepencil: no need for the "/home/bob/" bit if you're already logging in as bob@ | 12:02 |

| bluepencil | ozzmosis, aaah ok, thanks | 12:02 |
| bluepencil | ozzmosis, oh you mean thats the destination? | 12:03 |
| livingdaylight | hi | 12:03 |
| livingdaylight | !dontzap | 12:03 |
| ubottu | 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. | 12:03 |
| bluepencil | ozzmosis, makes sense, thanks again. | 12:03 |
| ozzmosis | bluepencil: yes, the syntax is similar to cp | 12:03 |
| RR | ozzmosis: LTSP is a alternate for windows ThinClient | 12:03 |
| thuglife999 | indus: where'd you go? | 12:03 |

| abbazabba | hi, does anyone know how to get rid of a menu item out of the applications menu | 12:06 |
| abbazabba | ? | 12:06 |
| thuglife999 | when i go to the last right side top menu...... where its shutdown/restart icons... i see few new icons... now how will i log on to KDE | 12:06 |
| thuglife999 | shall i logout from Gnome or what? | 12:06 |
| indus | abbazabba: right click on menu > edit menu then you can remove stuff | 12:06 |
| indus | thuglife999: what new icons | 12:06 |
| thuglife999 | it says away.. busy online offline | 12:07 |
| abbazabba | indus: you are the bee's knees. | 12:07 |
| indus | thuglife999: since you just installed , i suggest you get familiar with these new things before you have any questions :) | 12:07 |
| thuglife999 | things like that | 12:07 |
| indus | bee's knees hmm | 12:07 |
| thuglife999 | indus: what i am tying to say........ how to logon on to KDE now | 12:07 |
| thuglife999 | i installed KDE when i was on Gnome | 12:07 |
| thuglife999 | indus: shall i logout or what? | 12:07 |
| indus | ya why not | 12:08 |
| shervin | I have installed jaunty, and want to reinstall it. How can I do this?? | 12:08 |
| indus | thuglife999: log out select kde log in etc | 12:08 |
| thuglife999 | indus: Aiight and what about the open applications i have on Gnome | 12:08 |
| koshari1 | thuglife999 if you want to log into a k session you need to log out of gnome with "altGr printScreen k" and in the gdm screen select kde as the session | 12:08 |
| thuglife999 | indus: will they remain open or they will be terminated? | 12:08 |
| indus | thuglife999: good question | 12:08 |
| Borttrollad | Anyone have the problem with that when you install compiz ubuntu 9.04 gets slow? | 12:08 |
| qkfka | oh my god | 12:08 |
| indus | thuglife999: probably terminated when logging out but check it with terminal command top | 12:09 |
| koshari1 | thuglife999 they will be terminated if you lof out | 12:09 |

| koshari1 | shervin you will have bad config files but will still have latest packages | 12:12 |

| Guest7241 | does anyone have experience with installing ubuntu to an Acer aspire one? | 12:37 |
| arand | !ask | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:37 |
| Guest7241 | eh? | 12:37 |
| Incarus | Guest7241, ask your question... | 12:37 |
| arand | I didn't mean the last thing as directed to anyone... | 12:37 |
| Guest7241 | The thing is that it is supposed to work out of the box, but the ethernet card didn't work for me in 8.10, will it work with 9.04? | 12:38 |
| ozzmosis | Guest7241: I installed it on an old Acer laptop .. not familiar with that model | 12:38 |
| Guest7241 | it is a netbook | 12:38 |
| DrAffe | Hi | 12:38 |
| ozzmosis | Guest7241: what card is it? | 12:38 |
| Rasta1987 | I have a problem finding the hostname for my machine via ssh. ssh-server is installed on the server-machine and working. I was able to control it, when using its IP an being in the same network. Now I am outside and don't know how to find the right hostname. | 12:39 |
| Incarus | Guest7241, if you dont want to upgrade, you could just upgrade your kernel | 12:39 |
| Rasta1987 | What am I missing? | 12:39 |
| Guest7241 | I don't wish to upgrade, I just wish to do a clean install | 12:39 |
| Incarus | Guest7241, you could try it with a live cd | 12:40 |
| Incarus | Guest7241, or you could search in the change log for your card | 12:41 |
| Guest7241 | netbooks don't have a cd drive, will it work with unetbootin when I create a usb drive? | 12:41 |
| Guest7241 | ah where do I find those? | 12:41 |
| Guest7241 | The card is RealTek RTL8101E Fast Ethernet controller | 12:41 |

| Rasta1987 | no, I don't think so | 12:43 |
| Incarus | hm... | 12:43 |
| Rasta1987 | I think, it changes | 12:43 |
| arand | Guest7241: unetbootin is normally an easy way to go about it. | 12:43 |
| Rasta1987 | would I have to tell my provider to get me a persistent IP? | 12:44 |

| ozzmosis | Rasta1987: then use something like ddclient | 12:45 |
| ohir | Rasta1987: then set up your home connection with dynamic dns | 12:45 |
| ozzmosis | I use that (not in Ubuntu though) | 12:45 |
| mojo2214 | Good morning | 12:46 |
| Rasta1987 | hmm, so with a changing ip, I cannot use ssh from outside, right? What if I can tell the IP that the PC is using the moment I want to log in? | 12:46 |
| ohir | Rasta1987: next: how your home addresses look like? Do they start with 10. or 192.168 ? | 12:46 |
| shortlord | where can I find the aurora gtk engine? It does not seem to be in the repos which is strange, because it is a widely used engine, isn't it? | 12:46 |
| exco | can I easily restore an ext4 partition I accidentially formatted fat32 (quick in Winows)? | 12:47 |
| ohir | Rasta1987: if they do look like, you oughta set your router's NAT to let incoming connection go thru | 12:47 |
| ozzmosis | Rasta1987: you can login from outside after the IP changes, provided you're not behind a firewall | 12:47 |
| Rasta1987 | If tried it via "ssh name@currentIP" but it terminates because of timeDelay. The IP I am referring to does not start with 192...., it starts with other numbers | 12:48 |
| === Guest7241 is now known as OmnificienT | ||
| Rasta1987 | so if I know the current IP, all I need to do is set the router right? | 12:49 |
| ohir | Rasta1987: is this IP of your host in home, or IP of your home router? | 12:49 |
| mojo2214 | Anyone know how/where I can get a img file of the Desktop ISO? | 12:49 |
| Rasta1987 | host | 12:49 |
| === OmnificienT is now known as pim | ||
| ohir | Rasta1987: right. | 12:49 |
| ozzmosis | mojo2214: img file? | 12:50 |
| === pim is now known as pim_ | ||
| ozzmosis | mojo2214: do you want a jpeg of the iso? ;) | 12:50 |

| === rNewb`s is now known as rNewbs | ||
| koshari1 | mojo2214 you want to print the cd? | 12:50 |
| ohir | Rasta1987: iHotel --> [internet] --> (P)homeRouter --> (N)desktop . You can connect from outside to address (P). You need to configure router that it will forward incoming connections from P port 22 to (N) port 22 | 12:52 |

| devius | hey am just curios....dosent the OS "in general" need chipset drivers for the motherboard and graphics card (as in we install after windows setup)....but why in ubuntu dont we don that....or do we just turn our eyes blind and act asif its all right....i dont get it, can someone explain | 12:53 |
| Mahone | #Parliament | 12:53 |
| Mahone | #Parliament | 12:53 |

| Rasta1987 | ok, thanks | 12:55 |
| shervin | dpkg-reconfigure -a doesnt wipe the content of home or the user that already existed right? | 12:55 |
| koshari1 | devius run lsmod and it will show you all the modules loaded on your system | 12:55 |
| ohir | devius: 'driver' in Gate's language is quite equal to 'kernel module' in our language | 12:56 |
| shervin | it takes forever with this reconfigure | 12:56 |
| devius | ozzmosis, koshari1: but my computer is at mostly slower than in windows....does that mean a chipset driver is missing **maybe** | 12:56 |
| ozzmosis | devius: could be any reason | 12:56 |
| devius | ohir: aha | 12:56 |
| koshari1 | devius i doubt it, whats slower? | 12:56 |
| shortlord | does anyone know why the aurora gtk engine is not in the repos and where I can download it instead? | 12:57 |
| koshari1 | devius the clock speed will be the same? | 12:57 |
| devius | koshari1: ya thats what i expect, but the speed at which operations complete are relatively longer on ubuntu than windows....which is disappointing me' | 12:58 |
| koshari1 | devius care to be more specific? | 12:58 |
| ozzmosis | devius: I've noticed on an old acer laptop (700 MHz) with 256 Mb, Firefox on Ubuntu is a lot slower than in XP, but on a Celeron 2.2 with 1 GB the opposite is true (except for the Adobe Flash plugin!). I'm not sure I can conclude much from that though :) | 12:58 |
| koshari1 | devius rendering videos? copying files? | 12:58 |
| Rasta1987 | Has anybody had bad experiences with ssh and privateKey regarding security? Is it necessary to stop bruteForce-Attacks via iptables? | 12:59 |
| Brucevdk | Hi, I'm trying to find out where a proposal for new features (mockups, use case description, goal etc.) can be found? Does anybody happen to have a link ready? | 12:59 |

| devius | koshari1: maybe a kernel module is missing......mostly rendering videos, not file transfer, firefox....ya and the flash plugin | 12:59 |
| shervin | It seems I have problem with the exim4 package | 12:59 |
| shervin | its broken or not fully installed | 12:59 |
| devius | ohir: i have 1.5 gb | 12:59 |
| koshari1 | devius what engine, codec are you using? | 13:00 |
| ozzmosis | Rasta1987: bruteforce attacks are mostly just an annoyance cos they fill up your logs with failed logins (that's my experience on freebsd anyway) | 13:00 |
| TheBrayn | howdy folks | 13:00 |
| ozzmosis | Rasta1987: so it's good to have something to firewall an IP after a certain number of failed attempts | 13:00 |
| devius | koshari1: meaning ? | 13:00 |
| ohir | devius: my fault, mistaken with ozzmosis line | 13:00 |
| devius | ohir: np | 13:00 |
| ozzmosis | Rasta1987: so unless you have a really obvious password... | 13:00 |
| Rasta1987 | ozzmosis: ok, I think, I set it up anyway! | 13:00 |
| koshari1 | devius what app /codec are you using to recode video files? | 13:01 |
| tickle4 | hi guys | 13:01 |
| tickle4 | can anyone help me? | 13:01 |
| dooner | Rasta1987, if you don't allow password auth it isn't that big of deal, but annoying. moving ssh off default port gets rid of most of them.. | 13:01 |
| Brucevdk | I'll go to a team channel instead | 13:01 |
| koshari1 | !ask | 13:01 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:01 |
| ohir | devius: hvae you installed modules for your graphics card? | 13:01 |
| devius | koshari1: i use mediacoder under wine | 13:01 |

| ohir | devius: System -> Administration -> Drivers (or so, I am using my native language locale) | 13:02 |
| koshari1 | devius i have found mencoder to be very fast | 13:02 |

| ozzmosis | T-KILLER: what do you use ffmpeg-php for? | 13:02 |
| devius | ohir: i only have one broadcom driver installed "for the wireless" | 13:03 |
| devius | and? | 13:03 |
| shervin | koshari1: I am trying to boot with the live cd now. | 13:03 |
| tickle4 | ok, today i was on a website when i accidently clicked on a popup, it came up with a not very nice website, when i tried to exit the website would move around so i couldnt click it, it would also pop up another window saying which application i would like to use. the webstie was also trying to launch 60 popups. when i shut the computer down and turned it back on, when i tried to go on internet it would come back up with the not nice one. | 13:04 |
| ohir | devius: so do as koshari1 said. I did'nt notice any speed difference between my nb with 1.6G/1G centrino with linux and workplace desktop with four cores at 2.4G/4G RAM/Windows | 13:05 |
| Rasta1987 | tickle4: i only had that when using windows... | 13:05 |
| ozzmosis | tickle4: in Firefox? | 13:05 |
| tickle4 | yes | 13:05 |
| tickle4 | but it works fine now | 13:05 |
| tickle4 | is there any chance it will come back? | 13:05 |
| ozzmosis | tickle4: who knows | 13:05 |
| dooner | bullgard4, it means the chipset for the wireless card, not the actual model. | 13:05 |
| devius | ohir, koshari1: not just video conversion - evenwith the flash plugin in FF | 13:06 |
| ozzmosis | tickle4: the Firefox people might be interested in that though | 13:06 |
| T-KILLER | ozzmosis: It's a PHP extention that allows access to FFMPEG to allow PHP to access video paramaters of received video files uploaded to the web server. | 13:06 |
| mojo2214 | I have the Acer EEE laptop but I prefer to run the desktop version of Ubuntu over the Notebook Remix, unforuantely I can't get the desktop ISO onto a USB stick correctly for installation but I can get the Notebook Remix disk .IMG file to install without issue, so I'm wondering if there is a disk IMG file of the Desktop ISO I can use. Or where I can find a program that will use the ISO file to be able to be installed via a USB Stick. | 13:06 |
| ozzmosis | T-KILLER: ah, I see | 13:06 |
| bullgard4 | dooner: How can I detrmine the chipset of the NETGEAR Wireless PC Card WG511? | 13:06 |
| atlef_ | mojo2214: have you tried useing UnetBootin? | 13:06 |
| dooner | bullgard4, google seems to think the older wg511 are prism based, where the newer ones are atheros based | 13:06 |
| tickle4 | but do you think it will come back? i have shut down the computer and restarted numerous times and the interent works fine now. | 13:06 |
| amanda-b | is there a faq or howto on setting up dual head with kde? it's not just a question of pointing me to xinerama -- as i indicated, it works properly under gnome, but not under kde. nobody's home in #kubuntu. | 13:06 |
| T-KILLER | FFMPEG transcodes any video type into FLV on the website, much like youtube | 13:07 |
| T-KILLER | buit it needs FFMPEG-PHP PHP extention to do so | 13:07 |
| Zelfje | ffmpeg rocks | 13:07 |
| tickle4 | ? | 13:07 |
| ozzmosis | tickle4: I suspect it was just firefox that broke, not your internet connection | 13:07 |
| bullgard4 | dooner: I googled that result myself before. My question remains as I cannot see if my card is older or newer. | 13:07 |
| mojo2214 | atlef_ : no i tried the first program from the installation help page. | 13:08 |
| Rasta1987 | tickle4: install NoScript and addBlock | 13:08 |
| T-KILLER | Zelfje: it sure does but im having trouble compiling FFMPEG-PHP extention to worl alongside it | 13:08 |
| mojo2214 | atlef_ : I'll give that a shot, thanks =) | 13:08 |
| tickle4 | so you don't think the horrible website will come back>? | 13:08 |
| navlelo | does anyone know why i get permission denied when using gdb? | 13:08 |
| devius | ohir, koshari1: not just video conversion - evenwith the flash plugin in FF | 13:08 |
| dooner | mojo2214, installing UNR,and then swapping the desktop mode not an option? | 13:08 |
| T-KILLER | so, does anyone know how to help me? | 13:08 |
| tickle4 | i have deleted all my history | 13:08 |
| tickle4 | on firefox | 13:08 |
| T-KILLER | I have compiled and installed the latest 32 bit FFMPEG and now I am trying to compile and install the latest FFMPEG-PHP but am coming across the error "make: *** [ffmpeg_frame.lo] Error 1" someone help fix this please ? | 13:08 |
| dooner | bullgard4, you say the computer sees it? | 13:08 |
| mojo2214 | dooner: Not sure; any ideas where that might be? | 13:08 |
| bullgard4 | dooner: Yes. | 13:08 |
| dooner | mojo2214, preferences switch desktop mode :) | 13:09 |
| ozzmosis | tickle4: it's fairly trivial to erase all your firefox settings in ubuntu | 13:09 |
| tickle4 | what you mean? | 13:09 |
| dooner | mojo2214, will give you a standard ubuntu desktop as opposed to netbook launcher one | 13:09 |
| dooner | bullgard4, try dmesg | grep -i wg511 | 13:09 |
| ozzmosis | tickle4: so that if firefox breaks, you can erase all your firefox settings and it will start fresh again | 13:10 |
| ozzmosis | tickle4: but most people would never need to do that | 13:10 |
| dooner | bullgard4, or lspci | grep -i Wireless | 13:10 |
| tickle4 | ok | 13:10 |
| tickle4 | but can you just tell me if the horrible website will pop up again | 13:10 |

| tickle4 | how? | 13:14 |
| mojo2214 | tickle4: it's hard to say because the various types of ways popup scripts are run, it could take the deletion of certain cookies and/or clearing of cache files. You best bet is to download a java script blocker of some kind. You can find plenty of them via the AddOns offered by Firefox. Also, check to make sure your homepage didn't get changed by the popups. | 13:14 |

| nootrope | macvr, Sorry, had to walk away for a while. Yeah,make Terminal display without window borders. | 14:16 |
| Milos_SD | What do I need to enable ffmpeg support when I compile MPD? | 14:16 |
| hiemanshu_ | cyzie, wait lemme look | 14:16 |
| hiemanshu_ | !sound | 14:16 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:16 |
| macvr | nootrope: use devilspie , that allows u to remove window borders | 14:16 |
| nootrope | macvr, thanks! | 14:17 |
| hmw | kdub: lspci lists 2 OHCI and one EHCI USB controllers. The strange thing is not only, how it slows down the whole computer, but the drive was slow on different computers with different OSes, too, so I suspect a problem with the drive in fact. Strange thing is the USB1.1 speed. | 14:17 |
| kdub | hmw: are you running the OS off the drive? | 14:17 |

| hmw | kdub: if it was within the specs of that piece of hardware, it would be ludicrous. Making that drive full would take 4 days or so. | 14:20 |

| hmw | kdub: I am reading some "product comparisons" for that drive. (Maxtor OneTouch 4, 750MB). I saw a couple of times "relatively slow USB performance" - but those people cant relate to my speed, I suppose. What do you think, could it be really that slow? | 14:23 |

| Digit1 | magnetron, you there ? | 14:25 |
| kkathman | what is a good IDE for C programming on ubuntu (comparable to kdevelop on kde)?? | 14:25 |
| magnetron | Digit1: hello | 14:26 |
| gordonjcp | kkathman: anjuta maybe | 14:26 |
| ozzmosis | kkathman: you can install kdevelop in ubuntu | 14:26 |
| raven_ | greetings - have an "segmentation fault5" with FFMPEG: http://pastebin.com/d69b362bf need help please - tnx | 14:26 |
| kdub | helper: depends where in startup you want the script to run. earlier in boot, things in /etc/init.d/ are run, later in boot gnome can do startup scripts | 14:26 |
| ozzmosis | kkathman: I've heard good things about eclipse... | 14:26 |
| gordonjcp | kkathman: I just use gedit, but then I don't like IDEs much | 14:26 |
| kdub | kkathman: vim, ctags, and a prompt are the best way to go | 14:26 |
| helper | kdub, i just put script in folder init.d and it will execute when it boot ? | 14:27 |
| Digit1 | it seems to fail in some cases | 14:27 |
| ozzmosis | kkathman: I tend to just use gedit or jed, and makefiles from the shell. I mostly write short programs though :) | 14:27 |
| klappi | the file /etc/init.d/rc.local is run at boot for example | 14:27 |
| kkathman | ok thanks guys - used gedit and its fine but I guess I like that warm feeling around an IDE :) | 14:27 |
| kdub | kkathman: but if you _really_ want an ide, i recommend geany | 14:27 |
| hmw | kdub: Regarding to http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/labs/189618/maxtor-onetouch-4-plus-500gb.html, the predecessor drive with 500MB was as slow as 6.5MB/s with _small_ files | 14:27 |

| ozzmosis | kkathman: yeah, lots of dependencies! | 14:28 |
| Digit1 | magnetron, and gets stuck there | 14:28 |
| kkathman | I'll look at anjuta or just stay with gedit :) | 14:28 |
| ozzmosis | kkathman: if you're just writing your own programs I recommend learning how to use Make | 14:28 |
| kkathman | my stuff is rather small right now | 14:28 |
| fr_ | dove la chat in italiano | 14:28 |
| kdub | helper: no, it has to be in a standard format. you probably just want the functionality from system->prefs->startupapss | 14:28 |
| kkathman | ozzmosis, actually i'm kinda dong a crash course in C so I can program for the iPhone | 14:28 |
| tdn | I have a geode chipset with a hardware random number generator. There is a module for it: geode_rng and it is loaded. How do I use it to generate random data? | 14:29 |
| ozzmosis | kkathman: oh ok, I guess that's a little more complicated, but makefiles are still probably the way to go | 14:29 |
| helper | kdub, i don't have it the startuppass in sys/pref | 14:29 |
| kdub | kkathman: the iphone can run native apps? i thought they would have sandboxed it a bit more... | 14:29 |
| magnetron | Digit1: did you let it finish? looks like it's working | 14:29 |
| Yankefish | need a lil help i have vista x64,and ubuntu 9.04 on a dual boot, i want to use the vista bootloader how can i do that | 14:29 |
| kdub | helper: it may be called sessions, i think gnome recently changed that | 14:30 |
| fr_ | where is the chat in italian | 14:30 |
| fr_ | ''' | 14:30 |
| fr_ | ??? | 14:30 |
| Digit1 | looks like it, but... it's not finishing or consuming any CPU | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Yankefish: why do you want to use the vista bootloader? grub is much easier to learn. | 14:30 |
| kkathman | kdub - they actually run a superset of C called objective C- the stack is really nice and has a built-in GUI layer for easy Object manipulation | 14:30 |

| Yankefish | it look so junky to me is there anyway to remove entries and customize what they say | 14:31 |
| helper | kdub, ya session found it i add it and add the command to run it? that's it ? | 14:31 |
| kdub | helper: yep | 14:31 |
| helper | kdub, okie thx :* | 14:31 |
| klappi | have you tried codeblocks for c++ ide? | 14:31 |
| kdub | hmw: there's always firewire :) i'm still not convinced though that its the drive's fault | 14:31 |
| Yankefish | Dr Willis can i customize the grub loader text entries | 14:32 |
| kkathman | kdub right - if you know C, Objective C is C plus some built-in classes and extensions to access the iPhone's built in things like the accelerometer, the sliders, touch sensors, etc | 14:32 |
| Digit1 | magnetron, 'T' = traced or stopped :S | 14:33 |

| ohir | Yankefish: <youreditor> /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:35 |
| Yankefish | Dulak can i edit in vista | 14:36 |
| kdub | mm, you could find a way to mount the drive in vista, and edit it probably | 14:36 |
| Dulak | Yankefish: not unless you have an app installed that lets you access linux partitions, you'll have to boot a live cd or something | 14:36 |
| Yankefish | ok so after i boot ubuntu then how do i edit | 14:37 |
| kdub | it is a text file... do you need help knowing what to edit? | 14:38 |

| hiemanshu | zamba, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:41 |
| flashingpumpkin | -fsck | 14:41 |

| heroin | tickle4: or do your download files contain virusses small diffrence which matters | 14:46 |

| zamba | hiemanshu: that, or update-manager -d | 14:48 |
| hiemanshu | zamba, yes i know that, | 14:48 |
| tickle4 | ? | 14:48 |

| heroin | tickle4: just start firefox and go clean your cache from prefrence menu | 14:50 |

| hiemanshu | zamba, what was it? | 14:50 |
| tickle4 | wheres my prefrnce menu? | 14:50 |
| zamba | hiemanshu: problem was the apt proxy.. looks like you can't upgrade releases if you have an apt cache/proxy in the way | 14:50 |
| ebcovert3 | Superguy, has anyone else reported this problem that you know of? | 14:50 |

| eurythmia | jonaskoelker: don't worry about frequency scaling ... the amount of power it saves is negligible, if any. The kernel supports putting the CPU into longer sleep states somewhere after kernel 2.6.27 . | 15:11 |

| eurythmia | jonaskoelker: if you *really* want to save power, do things like configure the kernel (and recompile it) with dynamic ticks on, and lower timer frequency. | 15:12 |

| eurythmia | ladram: what is the exact command you use? (replace the ip with 255.255.255.255 so that you can keep your privacy) | 15:29 |
| friendishan | nixot any1 else cud help u | 15:29 |
| ravelon | jonaskoelker, what is stanza? | 15:29 |
| nixot | ok friendishan | 15:30 |
| eurythmia | nixot: it could be because the eeepc is a low-performance PC, and they wanted to remove effects to promote bateery life longevity. | 15:30 |
| nixot | I see. | 15:30 |
| jonaskoelker | ravelon: a blob of text in menu.list corresponding to a menu item in the grub menu | 15:30 |

| nixot | visual effects make it faster for me though! | 15:30 |
| jonaskoelker | ravelon: np | 15:30 |
| nixot | probably because then the desktop is hardware accelerated? | 15:30 |
| eurythmia | ladram: ubuntu client? What do you mean by that? Are you using an applet or a program, or are you using the command line to connect with ssh? | 15:31 |
| dar_ | nassss | 15:31 |
| nixot | OK well I'll see what I can do... maybe install compiz just as a TSR or something | 15:31 |
| eurythmia | nixot: yes; the desktop is hardware accelerated. | 15:31 |
| nixot | well, thanks for your help, eurythmia and friendishan | 15:31 |
| friendishan | nixot no problem | 15:31 |
| eurythmia | nixot: no problem. | 15:31 |
| nixot | :) | 15:31 |

| coreyman | So I can view my localhost server on konquerer but i cant view it on firefox unless i'm connected to the web, whats up with that | 15:33 |
| zigovr | hi all, I have just done a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04, bizarrely, after a "aptitude update" and "atptitude upgrade", the kernel wasn't updated and remained at version 2.6.24-19, which is not the latest | 15:33 |
| zigovr | any idea why the kernel wasn't upgraded by this command ? | 15:33 |
| ladram | eurythmia : i put ssh test 192.168.1.4 | 15:34 |
| eurythmia | coreyman: you can use file:/// to access localhost. You can't connect to htp:// (default for firefox) unless there is a webserver running at the url being pointed to, in your case, localhost. | 15:34 |
| friendishan | zigovr u wud want to update it to ubuntu 9.04 | 15:34 |
| dar_ | hi, a question, is it true that by default in ubuntu 9.04 your folder home is encrypted until you login in ? | 15:34 |
| eurythmia | ladram: you should read the link that friendishan mentioned to you. | 15:34 |
| zigovr | friendishan: no, I am still using kde 3.5 | 15:34 |
| ladram | ok thik u | 15:34 |
| mrbnet_ | How do I exit the Terminal Server client when in full screen mode? | 15:35 |

| ravelon | jonaskoelker, so, after I istall windows, I need to install grub on the same partition where my / is for that kernel if I use chainloader +1? | 15:35 |
| ikonia | ravelon: grub is installed on the mbr - not a partition | 15:35 |
| ikonia | ravelon: it reads the stage files from /boot/grub | 15:35 |
| friendishan | zigovr : do u want to upgrade to ubuntu 9.04 ? | 15:35 |
| jonaskoelker | ravelon: I second ikonia | 15:36 |
| dar_ | ikonia: grub install in mbr and partition | 15:36 |
| zigovr | friendishan: no | 15:36 |
| dar_ | 2 phases | 15:36 |
| ikonia | dar_: - no grub is installed to the mbr - it reads files from /boot | 15:36 |
| friendishan | zigovr: what actually u want to do? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | dar_: in context of the users question | 15:36 |
| dar_ | ikonia: ;) | 15:36 |
| effie_ | it display this aptitude don't have "super cow power" what else to do? | 15:36 |
| ladram | eurythmia : i read it but i have fixed @ip of ubuntu server 9.04 so when we want to connect them we can't so? | 15:36 |
| zigovr | friendishan: I want to understand why "aptitude upgrade" doesn't upgrade all packages. It upgrade almost all packages, but not the kernel | 15:36 |
| dar_ | hi, a question, is it true that by default in ubuntu 9.04 your folder home is encrypted until you login in gdm? | 15:37 |
| ikonia | dar_: that's not true | 15:37 |
| hughszg | all, I set 'bash -v' by accident, now I want to disable that, how to do? | 15:37 |
| dar_ | ikonia: ok | 15:37 |
| jonaskoelker | ikonia: doesn't it also read some files addressed by block number (as opposed to file name)? Otherwise, it'd have to implement ext3 and reiserfs in 446 bytes in the mbr ;-) | 15:37 |
| friendishan | zigovr read this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-215355.html | 15:37 |
| dar_ | I read that It was going to be a new feature of ubuntu | 15:37 |
| ikonia | jonaskoelker: yes, I believe part of the reference is off block numbers, but it does have file system support, but that is not relevant to the users question | 15:38 |
| Boohbah | dar_: what is the point of that? | 15:38 |
| eurythmia | ladram: what is your native language? | 15:38 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: muchas gracias. sound now works fine. thanks again. | 15:38 |
| ladram | eurythmia : frensh | 15:38 |
| jonaskoelker | ikonia: not relevant - agree | 15:38 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_: not a problem, glad all is good :) | 15:38 |
| hughszg | all, I set 'bash -v' by accident, now I want to disable that, how to do? | 15:38 |
| ikonia | hughszg: exit and re-enter bash | 15:38 |
| eurythmia | ladram: you may want to try #ubuntu-fr , I'm having an extremely difficult time trying to understand you. | 15:38 |
| dar_ | dar_: I want to use lucs to encrypt my home, but I think ubuntu did it | 15:39 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: don't get backwards support. | 15:39 |
| tvoet_ | but it works now, that's all that matters. | 15:39 |
| ladram | eurythmia : ok i'm se sorry | 15:39 |

| coreyman | eurythmia i have a webserver running at localhost. | 15:39 |

| hughszg | I got it undo. | 15:39 |
| overrider | Hello Folks. I've created a USB Startup Disk on a USB Key(via System->Admin->USB Startup Disk), which i hope can come in handy to do some System rescue operations. Now, how can i install some of my favourite Programs on that Key so they persist across a reboot? Thanks | 15:39 |
| eurythmia | coreyman: what port? | 15:39 |
| friendishan | zigovr yes | 15:39 |
| coreyman | eurythmia not sure, i installed xampp | 15:39 |
| ladram | eurythmia : so can you help me? | 15:39 |
| coreyman | eurythmia pretty sure either 80 or 8000 or 8080 | 15:40 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_: you should be able to install alsa-oss and get backwards support (for all the old sound apps) | 15:40 |
| ladram | eurythmia : i will try to writ coorectly ok | 15:40 |
| eurythmia | coreyman: if it's not running on 80, then you won't get a connection without specifying the port. Try running nmap against localhost to find out which port http is running on. | 15:40 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: just alsa-oss? | 15:40 |
| coreyman | eurythmia alright thanks | 15:40 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_: pretty sure, let me double check. | 15:40 |

| jonaskoelker | g0wda: depends on what other things you use your ram for, but I'd guess "not much"; I think it's more interesting to ask whether or not your gfx card is up to the task | 15:46 |

| asdfasdfasdf | Dre4m, sure windows finds them easily go back there :) | 15:52 |
| livingdaylight | coz_: got it ^^ | 15:52 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, that looks to be a bit old cairo dock isnt mentioned there let me check again to be sure | 15:52 |
| bigpresh | jess12345: It's not as simple as having hit the wifi kill-switch is it? :) | 15:52 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, I see it | 15:52 |
| livingdaylight | coz_: cairo is mentioned. its his favourite | 15:52 |
| bigpresh | g0wda: In the BIOS, I believe. | 15:52 |
| Dre4m | I have never used windows in my life so maybe you should go back to windows instead m8 . . now shh | 15:52 |
| eurythmia | Dre4m: additionally: | 15:52 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, take a look at cairo dock it is the most robust of all the docks | 15:52 |
| eurythmia | !libdvdcss > Dre4m | 15:52 |
| ubottu | Dre4m, please see my private message | 15:52 |
| Dre4m | I was trying to learn . . carry on eruthmia | 15:52 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, and if you are running an nvidia card you can take advantage of the opengl implimentation with it | 15:52 |
| eurythmia | Dre4m: read the message ubottu sent you :) | 15:52 |
| jess12345 | bigpresh: the wifi is off it is just a lan connection | 15:52 |
| ladram | eurythmia : i see in the file that i have that ligne 22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 3.9p1 (protocol 1.99) so ?? | 15:53 |
| Dre4m | i have thanks so much | 15:53 |
| Dre4m | so i can get that via package manager? | 15:53 |
| bigpresh | jess12345: Ah, sorry, for some reason I read your question as pertaining to wireless. My bad. | 15:53 |
| jess12345 | bigpresh: it is hard wired not wireless | 15:53 |
| eurythmia | Dre4m: yep. | 15:53 |
| eurythmia | okay, gonna reboot be back soon. | 15:53 |
| ladram | eurythmia : i try to connect to the server but no reponse | 15:53 |
| Dre4m | so ill just type VLC in package manager and just install whatever comes up then "movie player" will play my dvd ya? | 15:54 |
| dyf1 | hello.. i want to map a keyboard shortcut to execute a command to raise the volume, what is the command to raise volume? | 15:54 |
| bigpresh | jess12345: More specific, then - what do you mean by "does not work"? Do you get a link light? Does the network interface get assigned an IP? | 15:54 |
| jess12345 | bigpresh: it was working before, then I switched laptops and now its not working again - i just switched hard drives as one went in for repair on the touchpad there is nothing wrong with the network card as it works find with a windows HD | 15:54 |
| ladram | eurythmia : are you here | 15:54 |
| jess12345 | bigpresh: light is on | 15:54 |
| livingdaylight | coz_: sounds good... i actually, like quite a traditional setup, having never quite been convinced by the need docks apparently serve. Taskbar and workspaces works good here. I was just curious about Docky being a frontend for gnome-do as i hadn't heard of it | 15:54 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, let me get you a screenshot of my cairo dock hold on | 15:54 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/132551/dock.png | 15:55 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, I actually dont use any dock myself I only have cairo dock installed so I can create themes for it :) | 15:55 |
| livingdaylight | coz_: woah... never seen it look like that :) | 15:55 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, since I use a wacom tablet I use Easystroke instead | 15:55 |
| treyh | will someone post a link to get my ubuntu box to work with windows dns | 15:56 |
| jess12345 | bigpresh: i get an ip address i think | 15:56 |
| livingdaylight | coz_: agreed, Docks are definitely for a large monitor... which as i have one now may just be justifiable | 15:56 |
| jess12345 | but it says link speed not available | 15:56 |
| Dre4m | can someone confirm that if I type VLC in package manager that will supply me with the sufficient codecs to play DVDs in movie player? | 15:56 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, well you can set the dock to autohide | 15:56 |
| bigpresh | jess12345: Interesting. TBH, my first bit of diagnostics in this case would be to try a different network cable | 15:57 |
| bigpresh | jess12345: I've seen *weird* problems turn out to actually be cable-related | 15:57 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, and if you like you can also use system wide mouse gesture recognition with easystroke | 15:57 |

| livingdaylight | coz_: prolly hardly anyone knows about this software in Ubuntu. Had you not told me? | 16:11 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, thanks. I think I'll get it this time around, it's just a matter of fixing where the kernel is looking for my root :) | 16:11 |

| coz_ | livingdaylight, well I have been using gesture recognition for years on windows and this was the one thing on linux that was sorely missing | 16:12 |
| Dre4m | what does that do Xcell? | 16:12 |
| g0wda | *now | 16:12 |
| livingdaylight | coz_: hehe... i will ask his birthday too | 16:12 |
| Xcell | allows you to install extras | 16:12 |
| Hiemanshu | Dre4m, add extra repos that contain codecs | 16:12 |
| jess12345 | rjune: lspci can see the ethernet controller | 16:12 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, test it out its quite a prefessional app and it also has the ability to use compiz plugins like fire etc to decorate the strokes | 16:12 |
| Dre4m | why dont they just give you them when you get ubuntu fs? I really don't understand , , , ok let me try that | 16:12 |
| ladram | Hiemanshu : what can i do please? | 16:12 |
| rjune | jess12345: that's good, does ifconfig -a show it? | 16:13 |
| Hiemanshu | ladram, how do you connect? | 16:13 |
| eurythmia | Dre4m, because of licensing issues ... you have to enable universe and multiverse for them all. | 16:13 |
| jess12345 | rjune: 02:00. | 16:13 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, it is also n sroke meaning there is no number of strokes it cant handle | 16:13 |

| coz_ | livingdaylight, not sure what you mean when you first click the add action button that is where you type in the name of what you are doing | 16:27 |

| pim_ | Hi I'm trying to connect my Acer Aspire One with a RealTek RTL8101E Fast Ethernet controller to the internet, using a wireless repeater which is configured as a regular network adapter. However, when I plug it in it says: network disconnected. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix | 16:34 |
| eurythmia | ozzmosis, you're better off downloading eclipse from the website. | 16:34 |
| ozzmosis | eurythmia: it's ok, I don't need it :) | 16:35 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, right as I said,,, I generaly dont use that I simply use the main window to add apps+strokes but that link I linked you to should give a bit more informatoin | 16:35 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, yeah; the only reason I installed lilo was because I accidentally hit enter when the choice of bootloader to install came up (why, oh WHY is lilo selected first by default, and why isn't there a confirmation dialogue?) | 16:35 |
| ozzmosis | eurythmia: kkathman was asking about developer IDEs earlier and I mentioned it. didn't realise it was so huge :) | 16:35 |
| coz_ | livingdaylight, I see you have gnome-terminal already iun the gesture window now all you need to do is click the record strok button and make a stroke for it | 16:36 |

| rjune | jess12345: ahh, yeah, you hve to do ifconfig as root, so sudo first | 16:39 |

| jonaskoelker | eurythmia: well, I don't know how to fix your menu.list, but you could try all other device names instead of /dev/sda6 | 16:40 |
| jess12345 | rjune: when i look at the network information i see ip address 127.0.0.1 net mask as 255.0.0.0 under ipv4 but under ipv6 i see ip address as ::1 and netmask as 128 | 16:40 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, at this point in time, it would be easier and less time consuming for me to reinstall the base system and bootloader, so I think that's what I'm gonna do :/ | 16:40 |
| ozzmosis | mattgyver: yes .. mplayer -ao pcm -vo null inputfile.avi .. will generate audiodump.wav | 16:41 |
| jonaskoelker | eurythmia: that sometimes works :) I did that for my video box the other week :D | 16:41 |
| Dulak | jess12345: ::1 is loopback for ipv6 | 16:41 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, :/ | 16:42 |
| jess12345 | rjune: yes | 16:42 |
| rjune | jess12345: that's a loopback address, not a network address | 16:42 |
| jess12345 | rjune: ok under eth0:avhi i only have ipv4 with a ip - that is the ip i used | 16:42 |
| jonaskoelker | question for y'all: my computer becomes warm and mplayer starts playing back videos kinda' laggy. How can I play back video, non-laggy? Can I somehow cool my box better? | 16:42 |
| jess12345 | rjune: ip is 169.254..... and net mask is 255.255.0.0 | 16:43 |
| ozzmosis | jonaskoelker: what box is it? | 16:43 |
| rjune | jess12345: ok, that's a link-local address | 16:43 |
| rjune | zeroconf, etc. IIRC | 16:43 |
| jess12345 | rjune: so i did sudo ifconfig eth0 ip address netmask 255.255.0.0 | 16:43 |
| jonaskoelker | ozzmosis: zartego 1sw, running 8.10 | 16:43 |
| rjune | jess12345: do you know what address should be used on your network? | 16:43 |
| jag_ | !pacman | 16:43 |
| rjune | jess12345: or better yet, are you network admin? | 16:44 |
| hwilde | Hello. Could someone please verify that this fails due to unmet dependencies: sudo apt-get install libcv-dev | 16:44 |
| jonaskoelker | ozzmosis: celeron 1.7ghz, 945gm intel onboard gfx card | 16:44 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, you could do caching, but I can't remember how to do that with mplayer. | 16:44 |
| genii | An IP of 169.254.x.x usually means your adapter did not get an IP from some dhcp server | 16:44 |
| eurythmia | ... that would only take care of the lag though. | 16:44 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, celeron ... yuck. how old is it? | 16:44 |
| rjune | genii: assuming dhcp server is used on the network | 16:44 |
| jess12345 | rjune: am in an office so can find out i have a windows machine on the same network | 16:45 |
| jonaskoelker | eurythmia: ~4 years | 16:45 |
| rjune | jess12345: find out if you have a network server, if you do, dhclient eth0 should get your address | 16:45 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, and it's not dead yet? I'm impressed. | 16:45 |
| rjune | no harm in trying that if you dont' have one | 16:45 |
| jess12345 | rjune: it did do for the windows machine | 16:45 |
| ozzmosis | jonaskoelker: hmm, yeah, those celerons tend to run a bit warm. have you blown the dust out of it? | 16:45 |
| rjune | jess12345: dhcp server, not network server | 16:45 |
| jonaskoelker | ozzmosis: no, how do I go about doing that? | 16:45 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, pull the cover off of the computer and go mad with a can of compressed air. | 16:46 |
| petsounds | hello, tomorrow i'm going to buy a new hard disk, and i want to use it for single boot. i read from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282018, about creating partitioning but i don't really understand it and i need interactive guidance. the point is i want to create 2 partitions (C, D) so if i need to reinstalling ubuntu i don't lose any of my data on drive D. thanks b4 | 16:46 |
| jonaskoelker | eurythmia: hey, cool; apparently -cache 65536 seems to do wonders | 16:46 |
| jess12345 | rjune: i dont think it is to do with the network or the assisgment of the ip as the before it was working and was plug and play.......i think it is really to do with themac address that happened when I switched hard drives around on the laptop | 16:46 |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, won't help the cooling problem, unfortunately ;) | 16:46 |
| jonaskoelker | eurythmia: compressed air is sold where? grocery stores, hardware stores? | 16:46 |
| jess12345 | rjune: the network was working fine prior to switch and both machines just plugged in the network cable and they both workedf | 16:47 |
| ozzmosis | eurythmia: actually it can sometimes | 16:47 |
| * n00b is watching all the crap | 16:47 | |
| eurythmia | jonaskoelker, you can usually find it at staples, the source, or any computer store. | 16:47 |
| ozzmosis | eurythmia: if there's a thick layer of dust between the cpu fan and the heatsink under it, the fan won't cool the heatsink properly | 16:47 |
| genii | petsounds: There is no "C: D:" etc types in linux. In ubuntu the first hd is usually called sda for instance, the second sdb and so on in this way. The partitions on these disks would be like sda1 sda2 sdb1 sdb2 and like this. | 16:47 |
| eurythmia | ozzmosis, oh, I was talking about the caching ... I know that the blowing will work wonders :) | 16:48 |
| ozzmosis | eurythmia: ah, missed that, sorry | 16:48 |

| rjune | jess12345: changing the hard drive shouldn't affect the mac | 16:49 |
| eurythmia | genii, that depends on the bus the disk is connected to. SCSI, or SATA drives use sd<n> where <n> is some letter of the alphabet, IDE (aka PATA) drives use hd<n> | 16:49 |
| ozzmosis | dbrewer_rjr: afaik there are no known viruses for linux, so not really. | 16:49 |

| ohir | petsounds: certainly. You should do separate partition for /home | 16:52 |
| ozzmosis | I've got a ubuntu question! when you run apt-get install .. my assumption is that when the download is fairly small, like less than 1 MB, it won't prompt you if you want to go ahead, otherwise it will .. is that right? | 16:52 |
| TiCPU | ozzmosis: it will ask only when there are dependencies | 16:52 |
| ozzmosis | oh, ok | 16:53 |
| petsounds | ohir : how can i do it sir? | 16:53 |
| genii | petsounds: There is the concept of "mount points". So the place your personal stuff is in a directory structure like /home/yourname and the dir /home can actually be an entirely different disk or partition for instance, which is "mounted" to that dir. This is how it works for the most part. | 16:53 |
| jess12345 | rjune: thanks for this.........you are 100% correct it is the connection, apologise for this.......it looks like the network guys seem to have made some changes !!!! | 16:53 |
| ozzmosis | thanks TiCPU | 16:53 |
| ozzmosis | would be handy if that was documented in the manpage for apt-get | 16:54 |
| ohir | petsounds: in install time you can layout your disks manually. Installer will ask you. But before you start you should read good HOWTO about partitioning. | 16:54 |
| TiCPU | ozzmosis: isn't it? I don't remember the question asked by apt-get when there are dependencies, but I though it was related to this. | 16:55 |
| ozzmosis | TiCPU: not that I can see | 16:55 |
| petsounds | genii : you mean my data will still safe if i reinstalling ubuntu? | 16:55 |
| ozzmosis | TiCPU: although it may be written somewhere else, so I'm not being too hard about it | 16:56 |
| ohir | petsounds: it is not that far from other-win-world. Just instead of getting D: from system you choose to get partition mounted at /home | 16:56 |
| genii | petsounds: If you have /home on say a second drive and the / (root") filesystem on the first, you can install linux again to the / and everything in /home remains untouched | 16:56 |

| Dr_Willis | doc_brown: the wine menui items are defined by some directory/files in the users home dir. | 17:45 |
| Dr_Willis | doc_brown: those are easoially removed once found | 17:45 |
| bo7amny | i notes that ubuntu 9.04 have no ive cd , right? | 17:46 |
| Dr_Willis | apt-get remove wine will NOT remove those entries.. the apt system will not alter USERS config files | 17:46 |
| doc_brown | Dr_Willis, all i can find in my home dir are pictures of heidi montag | 17:46 |
| richard | Hello | 17:46 |

| ia2009 | i'm using wubi to install ubuntu 9.04, but it is downloading it from the internet | 17:48 |

| doc_brown | Tyler, thanks i pointed terminal to that directory and "dir" says wine | 17:49 |
| doc_brown | Tyler, so sudo rm wine? | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | doc_brown: most config files are in various .WHATEVER dirs/files | 17:49 |
| Burlynn | parapan: try ./kcatalogsetup.sh | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | the .wine directory is NOT where the menu items are comming from. Look for some WHatever.desktop files in the various .config or some other dirs | 17:50 |
| parapan | burlynn > permission denied | 17:50 |
| doc_brown | Dr_Willis, sory... whatever.desktop? | 17:50 |
| Tyler | doc_brown: you don't need to sudo rm it, plain rm should be enough | 17:51 |
| Burlynn | parapan: run it with sudo | 17:51 |
| Tyler | also, ls is better than dir | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | doc_brown: every menu item is defined by a WHATEVER.desktop file | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | doc_brown: find those files.. remove them and they will vaniush from the gnom,e menus | 17:51 |

| dan2k | i realised just after i clicked | 18:08 |
| darthanubis | Encrypt / for what? | 18:08 |
| reddbull | and just switch the window manager | 18:08 |
| mbrannock | dan2k: yeah, that may not have been the best plan | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: security such as root/sudo is there for a reason | 18:08 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | hey guys. I'm having some strange problems with brctl and network interfaces | 18:08 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | check this out: http://pastebin.com/m19753192 | 18:08 |
| mroc | whatvn: keeps fluctuating, 30-60% | 18:08 |
| modmadmike | darthanubis: yea sure... I cant just rebuild the menu.lst? | 18:08 |
| darthanubis | should have a least had /boot partition separate | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: I think get hold of data, and re install | 18:08 |
| dan2k | sebsebseb yeah... and i've done it before on an etc folder on another install | 18:08 |
| mbrannock | dan2k: I'm not sure that there's much you can do now... | 18:08 |
| darthanubis | modmadmike, how if it is encrypted? | 18:08 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | I guess I can't have two bridges set up in /etc/network/interfaces | 18:08 |
| reddbull | Guest90159: and use sudo apt-get install to download that at-spi package | 18:09 |
| TheDJACR | modmadmike: ... menu.lst isn't on an encrypted partition | 18:09 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | though with brctl, it's possible, and required. | 18:09 |
| TheDJACR | Never | 18:09 |
| iam_techno | timater123, did you try sudo apt-get update && apt-get autoremove ? | 18:09 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | can anyone suggest a better way of doing this for me? | 18:09 |
| dan2k | mbrannock NO NO please don't say that - it's a home server i've been configuring for days | 18:09 |
| pegon | I use gnome-screensaver...and when I come back I click on the screen and the screensaver freezes but doesn't bring up the lock screen...I have to hit escape a few times to get it to prompt me for a password..anyone got any suggestion | 18:09 |

| mroc | whatvn: when i type anything in kile, xorg goes way above 50% cpu usage. didn't have this problem before, and i haven't changed anything since yesterday when all was working nicely. | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: first rule of Linux, never run it as root all the time | 18:09 |
| dan2k | sebsebseb well at least i won't do it again :D | 18:09 |
| Guest90159 | now it says "greeter application application missing attempting to use a different one" then it crashes | 18:09 |
| TheDJACR | pegon: Report a bug, mine used to do that too. | 18:09 |
| iam_techno | gymophett, Did you configure the source yet | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: and that's basicaly what you did, by doing what you did | 18:09 |
| SonicComKid | Hi all, before I pester the forums. Does anyone here know how to repair SAMBA? I can't start it, stop it, restart it, uninstall it, reinstall it, or pkill it without my server freezing | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: you made it like WIndows, admin account for everything | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: well pretty much | 18:10 |
| timater123 | iam_techno: ok let me try this | 18:10 |
| dan2k | sebsebseb so now what - can i chown them back to root somehow? | 18:10 |
| Guest90159 | how do i log into terminal mode? | 18:10 |
| whatvn | mroc: free -m and see what happens? | 18:10 |
| dan2k | sebsebseb what IS initramfs? | 18:10 |
| reddbull | Guest90159: Do you get the login window? | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: maybe can change permissions back to root, or the file system has gone bad yeah, well I guess that's what happended since yoru error | 18:10 |
| hatter243 | _UsUrPeR_, change "auto lo" to "auto lo eth1 kvmbr0" and remove all those other autos to start | 18:10 |
| iam_techno | timater123, if autoremove removes packages, then you've probably "downgraded" | 18:10 |
| Guest90159 | yes | 18:10 |
| harushimo | hey is free financial analysis software for linux | 18:11 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | hatter243: ok, I'll give that a shot. thanks | 18:11 |

| dan2k | sebsebseb fuck. | 18:11 |
| reddbull | Guest90159: Then you can change the window manager at the bottom left | 18:11 |
| SonicComKid | Guest90159, on the login screen press Ctrl and F1 through F6 for various terminals | 18:11 |
| Guest90159 | than what? | 18:11 |
| modmadmike | TheDJACR: yea duh but my / is and usualy the config for a menu.lst is different for an encrypted / partition | 18:11 |
| Bllasae | why do i need to remove third party things when i upgrade? | 18:11 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: I am not exactly sure, but intramfs messages come up when people can't boot sometimes | 18:11 |
| Pici | dan2k: Please mind your language here. | 18:11 |
| Guest90159 | ok | 18:11 |
| hatter243 | _UsUrPeR_, then insure that /etc/network/interfaces is -rw-r--r-- root root | 18:11 |
| Guest90159 | which one to use? | 18:11 |
| harushimo | where can I get linux trade for hardy heron | 18:11 |

| byerley | Hi, I'm trying to install unbound on a Ubuntu 8.04.2 box. It doesn't seem to be in the apt-get repositories. I tried install from source, but when I run it I get "[1242925358] unbound[14630:0] fatal error: user 'unbound' does not exist." I'm reluctant to just add a user manually. Any suggestions? | 18:13 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | hatter243: the "can't read interfaces" error was because I was trying to apply two ports to one bridge I think. I removed the bridge_ports vnet0 line, and it started fine | 18:13 |
| wOPr | had anyone her ever used DARKICE please? I need urgent help!! | 18:13 |
| mroc | whatvn: oh...wait, i had all these same things running yesterday, but i did suspend and resume once since then. could that be adding to the problem? | 18:13 |

| ejv | byerley: add a user manually | 18:13 |

| SonicComKid | Guest90159, if you need to say anything else to me, say my name at the beginning of the line or PM me. It's hard to find anything you say in the sea of other text | 18:14 |
| Bieleke | Goodevening guys | 18:14 |
| sebsebseb | dan2k: you can probably change the permissions back to root on the Live CD, but may stil get the intramfs error | 18:14 |
| whatvn | mroc: you have not much ram, suspend is not the right way | 18:14 |
| hatter243 | _UsUrPeR_, oh, well, the man page for interfaces says to have the autos all on one line. After that, try this guy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge | 18:14 |

| Sir-Integra | anyone here got ut2004 on their system? | 18:15 |
| Bieleke | sebastien, yeah dual 2 core, and in all my pc's 2 gig ram | 18:15 |
| Sir-Integra | For some reason it's starting itself at 1280x1024 60hz resolution | 18:15 |
| Sir-Integra | and my monitor is saying it doesn't support it | 18:15 |
| SonicComKid | Bieleke, I rather like the 64-bit version. As long a you have a 64-bit CPU you'll be fine. I do warn you that *some* software is a tad more difficult to install in 64-bit ubuntu than 32-bit. However I found installing wine (just for it's libarires) fixes most issues with 64-bit | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | Bieleke: they say need at least 4GB RAM for 64bit or won't really get any advantage | 18:15 |
| flintwingel | coreyman: check the file menu... is the offline mode box checked? | 18:16 |

| ozzmosis | modmadmike: you could try the ubuntu-users mailing list instead. but be polite. | 18:24 |
| ejv | byerley: well basically, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to upgrade your system if at all possible, but hardy is supported, so you'd download the .tar.gz file, do a tar xvfz unbound.....tar.gz, ./configure, make, make install | 18:24 |

| jeniffer | hello friends... some of you have any idea what are the minimal packages I have to install if i want to run OpenBox? (i have just installed Ubuntu minimal) | 18:32 |
| chiques | modmadmike, I don't have experience with an encrypted bootloader (GRUB). Lets see what anyone else suggests. | 18:32 |
| tones | sidh: ext3 | 18:32 |
| darthanubis | sidh, it uses what you tell it to use | 18:32 |
| Yankefish | anybody know how i can add vista to grub bootloader, vista is on drive c: | 18:32 |
| Flannel | jeniffer: openbox and xorg (server and client) probably | 18:32 |
| tones | Yankefish chainload it in grub | 18:32 |
| sidh | thanks tones | 18:33 |
| darthanubis | Yankefish, it will do it for you | 18:33 |
| tones | sidh no problem :) | 18:33 |
| Yankefish | ok how?? | 18:33 |
| modmadmike | I think I should just use another install as an example. im using the machine with the problem right now | 18:33 |
| sidh | darthanubis: i need to make ubuntu use an existing ext3 partition | 18:33 |
| chiques | Yankefish, It should automatically add it to your list. If not you might have to reload GRUB | 18:33 |
| tones | Yankefish if you are about to install ubuntu, it will automatically detect and add vista to grub | 18:33 |
| sidh | so i prefer asking | 18:33 |

| Dre4m | I have 2 Hard drives, both with 2 partitions each. for example DRIVE 1 > partition 1 Windows - Partition 2 All my files photos vids, docs etc. DRIVE 2 > partition 1 Ubuntu - Partition 2 "HOME" which is currently emtpy. What I was wondering is if I can redirect the UBUNTU - HOME to be the partition 2 on my other drive . . EG my FILES. sO I can keep my files in 1 place and use them on ubuntu or windows . . .? is this safe to do? I really hope that made sence | 18:37 |
| chiques | Bram_P, It will save you tons of time. | 18:37 |
| tones | Sir-Integra run the said program, then type "dmesg | tail" into your favourite terminal or getty | 18:38 |
| Bram_P | chiques: ok, I'll do thanks | 18:38 |
| Yankefish | ok well can i edit the menu, the vista loader says vista then neoloader how can i remove the neoloader | 18:38 |

| chiques | Bram_P, Just don't nuke your /home partition. | 18:39 |
| tones | Yankefish: neoloader?? doesnt ring a bell... anyway if its a menu option and you dont have a clue what it is, you can delete it | 18:39 |
| Flannel | Bram_P: Just upgrade. | 18:39 |

| Bram_P | chiques: ok, thanks I also have a backup of it, so it'll be ok | 18:41 |
| Yankefish | anybody on how to edit vista bootloader for ubuntu | 18:41 |
| noBoot | will do | 18:41 |
| chiques | Bram_P, Just make sure you read the installation menus. Make sure YOU DON"T choose "use entire disk". | 18:41 |
| Flannel | jeniffer: Ah, you'd have to start an xserver before that. | 18:42 |
| Dre4m | tones: ok I have a partition on windows with my files on, for example my vids docs, photos, etc etc . . . I was wondering If I can make Ubuntu use that partition as its "home" so my files are in one place? | 18:42 |
| Dre4m | do you get me? | 18:42 |
| Grimwold | does anybody have experience with setting up ubuntu jaunty on a 400mhz machine ? | 18:42 |
| Flannel | chiques, Bram_P: Having separate partitions is not default. When he reinstalls, he will likely overwrite all of his data. | 18:42 |
| chiques | Flannel, He has to read the menus. | 18:42 |
| tones | Dre4m loud and clear, but i dont like the idea one bit.. at least if the partition is ntfs | 18:42 |
| Flannel | chiques: If he doesn't have it as a separate partition, reading menus won't help. | 18:43 |
| tones | Dre4m ntfs support in linux is still very ginger | 18:43 |
| jeniffer | Flannel is that acomplished with X, startx, or Xorg? thanks...sorry but i am not an ubuntu expert :/ | 18:43 |
| Dre4m | so you don't recomend me using the partition with my files on to use that in ubuntu. Even though that partition doesn't have windows on its just files | 18:43 |
| Dre4m | correct? | 18:43 |
| tones | Dre4m: correct indeed. | 18:43 |
| Dre4m | ok thanks so much | 18:44 |
| tones | Dre4m no problem | 18:44 |
| quentusrex | I have a bunch of home movies I would like to burn to a DVD to be played in a dvd player | 18:44 |
| Dre4m | so you reccoment copying the appropreit files accross to HOME on linux? | 18:44 |
| quentusrex | What application could do this??? | 18:44 |
| tones | Dre4m thats the best idea i think | 18:44 |
| whatvn | Dre4m: why you don't keep all in HOME? | 18:44 |
| Dre4m | whatvn: because what would I do when im back on windows? | 18:44 |
| chiques | Flannel, Bram_P If there are files in the "/" partition, then you will wipe them. Like I said before, if you have two different partitions "/" and "/home" you will be able to exclude the "/home" from being formatted. | 18:45 |
| noBoot | whatvn: ok nevermind. cant load into XP any more was trying to mess with the boot manager and now when i try to boot i just get grub loading stage 1.5 over and over | 18:45 |
| Flannel | Bram_P: You'll want to upgrade. | 18:45 |
| Nicolaccio | hello | 18:45 |
| Flannel | jeniffer: I've always thought it was startx. Did you install both xorg and xserver-xorg? | 18:45 |
| chiques | Flannel, Bram_P Regardless, pull out your external drive and back up if you can. | 18:45 |
| whatvn | Dre4m: do thing you used to do :| | 18:46 |
| Dre4m | Basically what we are saying here is don't share files between two operating systems even if they are on a serperate Hard drive? is that def right? its just its gonna be a pain now me not knowing what I have on which drive instead of using one partition for files viewing them on which ever operating system im using | 18:46 |
| Bram_P | Flannel: yes but it gives a strange error when I do and also youtube videos don't work and I can't make screenshots, so I think there is more wrong... | 18:46 |
| tones | Dre4m there are some programs that can possibly access ext2/3/4 (unix) partitions on windows | 18:46 |
| Dre4m | hmmm | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: some of them even work! :) | 18:46 |

| tones | Dr_Willis: really?? ;) | 18:47 |
| whatvn | noBoot: you cannot boot into XP too? then using a windows installer cd, using recovery mode to run chkdsk | 18:47 |
| jeniffer | Flannel well... it seems I missed something to install.... I will try that..... thank you very, very much!!!! | 18:47 |
| Dre4m | I thought i would be able to have 1 parttition set up for my files and I could access and use them on linux when im on linux and then windows when im on windows but this is not reccomended ya? please confirm so I can start thinkin of a way to do it lol | 18:47 |

| whatvn | Dre4m: why not? | 18:50 |

| flintwingel | Yankefish: yes | 18:53 |

| tones | mobi-sheep: yes it is possible, but it didnt work on my xp.. and thats pine fresh (i never use it) | 18:53 |
| Yankefish | Flint how | 18:53 |
| tones | Dre4m fstab | 18:54 |
| Dre4m | how would I mount this partiotoin that currently says MEDIA to be HOME? | 18:54 |
| whatvn | tones: ntfs is good filesystem, i think. so much people think | 18:54 |
| newhen | Sorry, for the bad grammar. I am trying to see if using a live cd would edit the mbr enough so I could fix my problem of not being able to use my recovery partition | 18:54 |

| Dr_Willis | Dre4m: if you dont unser stand the basics of the linux filesystem ... /etc/fstab is the path to a file... | 18:55 |
| whatvn | Dre4m: then fly : | 18:55 |
| Burlynn | Dre4m: home should really be on an ext3 drive, i think your better off having the media partition automount, have an icon on the desktop for it etc | 18:55 |
| tones | Burlynn: im with you there | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Home not on a ext2/3/4/ ? ICK - thats asking for problems. | 18:56 |
| Dre4m | OH | 18:56 |

| Dre4m | LMAO | 18:56 |
| * Dr_Willis waits for ext5 | 18:56 | |
| whatvn | Dre4m: /home directory used to store much more user information, use ntfs is never a good idea | 18:56 |
| Dre4m | oh ok, so i'll forget setting home as my NTFS partition . . . just seems silly that "HOME" will do nothing then basically? | 18:56 |
| noBoot | ok chkdisk -r is running now just a lil over 50% | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | /home on a ntfs file system.. is not going to work very well.. if at all | 18:56 |
| * tones celebrates happily | 18:57 | |
| Dr_Willis | Dre4m: mount the ntfs to be /media/WindowsStuff | 18:57 |
| Burlynn | Dre4m: that is where all your configuration files for your user are stored for linux | 18:57 |
| mbrannock | Dre4m: home stores all of your user configurations and preferences | 18:57 |
| whatvn | noBoot: patience! | 18:57 |
| tones | Dre4m for your comfort, just mount the ntfs partition as /home/dre4m/winfiles/ | 18:57 |
| Dre4m | home is like my documents on windows ya? | 18:57 |
| noBoot | oh no i was just letting you know. thanks for your help so far and your patience | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Dre4m: no its mor like c:/users/USERNAME | 18:58 |
| tones | Dre4m that and all your config | 18:58 |
| whatvn | Dre4m: exactly | 18:58 |
| mbrannock | dre4m: home is like c:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME | 18:58 |
| newhen | Anybody have any experiance in grub that could help me out with enableing a partition for booting that windows 7 seems to have disabled | 18:58 |

| setuid | I've got a Thinkpad T61p and it runs Ubuntu great... but I'm wondering how challenging it would be to add a second, external monitor to it. Problem here, is that my laptop's LCD display does 1920x1200 | 18:59 |
| setuid | ...and the external LCD panel does 1280x1024. | 18:59 |
| mbrannock | dre4m: you can mount your windows drive in the home directory as if it were just another folder. this is what tones is saying | 18:59 |
| tones | Dre4m read more about linux before you try anything deep like this, youll get yourself in a right pickle otherwise | 18:59 |
| setuid | Can I set up some sort of Xinerama config that lets me use two _different_ resolutions on the same X server? | 18:59 |
| setuid | And if so... where would I read up on this? | 18:59 |
| Dre4m | THATs WHAT I TIRED TO DO! | 18:59 |
| whatvn | noBoot: I didn't said it could or could not solve your problem :-p. I just give you one solution | 18:59 |
| Dre4m | mbrannock: I wanted to mount the windows drive which I can see now . . . as "home" | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Dre4m: you got /home/ conrused with /home/YOURUSERNAME/a_normal_directory_theUser_can_access | 18:59 |
| noBoot | whatvn: haha i know | 18:59 |
| tones | Dre4m you cant mount the partition ON home, but you can mount it as a folder IN home | 19:00 |
| mbrannock | Dre4m: exactly, you could make your windows drive appear as a folder on your desktop, for instance | 19:00 |
| Dre4m | ye thats kinda what I wanna do | 19:00 |
| maginot | good afternoon. Anyone knows a good tutorial on how to configure a full mail server, with postfix, mysql, sasl, imap, webmail, wap, etc... ? | 19:00 |

| nascentmind | hi. how can i make pppoeconfig automatically start my dsl connection every time my computer boots? | 19:04 |
| mbrannock | newhen: yes, grub should detect the windows 7 mbr (assuming windows 7 does boot presently) and set things up to give you a choice between windows7 and linux | 19:04 |
| tones | Dre4m nope.. | 19:04 |
| Dre4m | can I justr ask does the room agree with tones at this point ^^ :). ok done | 19:04 |
| Burlynn | Dre4m: its good advice heh | 19:05 |

| Demonicdata | in other words i'm trying to save a edited source.list file and it says i need root,i don't wnat to do everyhting in the terminal so is there a fast way to do this in the gui? | 19:09 |
| tones | Dre4m in the terminal or altf2 window, type gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 19:09 |
| Dre4m | tones: k its open | 19:09 |
| mbrannock | Demonicdata: hit alt+f2 to get a "run" window, then preface the command with gksu | 19:09 |
| Dre4m | now in there you want me to type gparted? | 19:09 |
| tones | Dre4m now type gparted into a terminal or altf2 (run) window | 19:10 |
| lusepuster_ | Goodmorning channel... I have a little problem: Anything that uses PolicyKit's little "unlock" button locks up and freezes when I try and use it.

Ubuntu Tweak... | 19:10 |
| ryanprior | Hey there. I just installed a new wireless card in my computer and Ubuntu doesn't recognize automatically. It's an Edimax iLink card. | 19:10 |
| mobi-sheep | Demonicdata: Run in terminal --> gksudo gedit /the/path/to/file | 19:10 |
| Dre4m | gparted is not installed | 19:10 |
| tones | mobi-sheep gksu and gksu are the same file, just use gksu (easier) | 19:11 |
| whatvn | Dre4m: gparted for what? | 19:11 |
| tones | Dre4m then type into a terminal "sudo apt-get install gparted" | 19:11 |
| Dre4m | can I not just make some short cut or right click on the partition I can see it and I can access the files | 19:11 |
| Demonicdata | well i know how to do it in the terminal,i was wondering if there is something like a right click menu option "run as" like with windows,that would actually be very useful | 19:11 |
| mobi-sheep | tones: ? | 19:11 |
| chmac | echo $PATH doesn't return what's set in /etc/environment, the sbin paths are missing. Any suggestions on where to investigate? | 19:11 |
| tones | Dre4m actually, just mount the partition and open the mtab | 19:12 |
| whatvn | Dre4m: why you need gparted? | 19:12 |
| tones | whatvn i was gonna use it to find the partition number and drive. easiest way i thought | 19:12 |
| ryanprior | As far as I can tell, it doesn't even show up in lspci. What would that mean? | 19:12 |
| whatvn | tones: no. completely no | 19:12 |
| Dre4m | OK I have the DRIVE ICON sitting on the desktop I can access all my files on the NTFS partitionall I wanted is a periminant folder or perminant way to access it | 19:13 |
| tones | whatvn: mm... my sanity told me that too | 19:13 |
| Dre4m | so I dont have to go through "COMPUTER" every time | 19:13 |
| mobi-sheep | Demonicdata: You should not run apps as root all times. What you're looking for is... nautilus-gksu | 19:13 |
| whatvn | tones: sudo fdisk -l, easiest way | 19:13 |
| mobi-sheep | !info nautilus-gksu | Demonicdata | 19:13 |

| jetsaredim | anyone know of a way to sync the audio track in totem? | 19:13 |
| tones | Dre4m do what what said | 19:13 |
| tones | Dre4m do what whatvn said i mean | 19:13 |
| Dre4m | whatvn: can I just creat a desktop short cut or wat ever | 19:14 |
| mobi-sheep | Demonicdata: I'll advise you against that. This is not something you should be doing. :) | 19:14 |
| Demonicdata | no not all time,just with the option as a right click menu option,so you can launch the program with a root prompt | 19:14 |
| felix_ | could someone take a look at this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/177358/ (im using builder, but that's not a builder problem; error is related to dependencies, dpkg, ucf and getopt) | 19:14 |

| tones | Dre4m you can just go to "places" at the top and click it... | 19:14 |
| Dre4m | YE | 19:14 |
| mobi-sheep | Demonicdata: Install nautilus-gksu package. Log out. Log in. | 19:14 |

| tones | Dre4m whatvn will guide you to make the ideal entry into the fstab. | 19:15 |
| Dre4m | so there is no way to creat a short cut to that drive on the computer? | 19:15 |
| tones | Dre4m this way beats a shortcut | 19:15 |
| whatvn | Dre4m: you're using linux | 19:16 |

| Dre4m | Im using Ubuntu yes, and I can see my drive in places and Id like to make a shortcut too it | 19:16 |
| Dre4m | lol | 19:16 |
| tones | Dre4m why dont you read a few tutorials or books and learn about linux's structure and culture | 19:16 |
| Chr|s | felix_: use compiz with emerald? hmm ok? what about the rest | 19:16 |

| Dre4m | maybe I should, I didn't realise Ubuntu couldn't make short cuts to things | 19:17 |
| tones | Dre4m: drag yourself away from your foolish windows nature | 19:17 |

| Isopropane_ | Anyone? | 19:31 |

| sebsebseb | felix_: what are you trying to install? | 19:33 |
| phoenixz | sebsebseb: done, it was in the identities config, not in the generic config.. | 19:33 |
| felix_ | sebsebseb, take a look at this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/177358/ (im using builder, but that's not a builder problem; error is related to dependencies, dpkg, ucf and getopt) | 19:33 |

Defintely nice and such. the only problem I'm having with it is that the sound is kind of jumpy and staticy. Is there any fix to this? and by that i mean that it skips, sometimes, and you can kind of hear static, which was not present on my previous Windows installation. | 19:57 |

| toehio | I was watching a hd movie with vlc which was lagging and then ubuntu froze (i had to restart). Now when I open any movie (not hd) and go to fullscreen (vlc and totem movie player) my computer freezes, which wasn't the case before. What is happening and how do I 'fix' this? | 20:03 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, What's your problem? | 20:03 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | kl piki | 20:03 |
| thiebaude | vigo: true | 20:03 |
| Artissimo | hatter243: I can't get a connection using the settings I typed above. | 20:03 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | wats the problem with ure DHCP? | 20:03 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, a netmask of 192.168? Really? | 20:04 |
| zek | toehio: do you have desktop effects enabled? | 20:04 |
| Artissimo | It's not working. Shouldn't the netmask be my router? | 20:04 |
| peeps[work] | Artissimo, you could try #networking . it's not linux specific, but there are plenty of knowledgable people ther | 20:04 |
| toehio | zek: yes, I do | 20:04 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as trone | ||
| THRHOPE4LINUX | toehio - maybe accelerated driver stopped working -- now possibluy using vesa? | 20:04 |
| zek | toehio: try turning them off and see if that helps | 20:04 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, no, the netmask tells your computer which IP addresses are on the same network. The Gateway should be the router. Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.1.1 | 20:04 |
| zek | toehio: it was a problem on my system | 20:05 |
| toehio | when I noticed the lag I disabled desktop effects and then put the video in full screen, when it crashed | 20:05 |
| rob0917 | can I install ubuntu-restricted-extras if I live in United States? | 20:05 |

| Dr_Willis | rob0917: first thing i install normally :) | 20:06 |
| hatter243 | rob0917, Of course you can use them. If I'm not mistaken, the "restricted" part refers to the fact that they're not open source | 20:06 |
| === cs278 is now known as cs278|laptop | ||
| zek | toehio: what format is the movie? | 20:06 |
| toehio | But this fullscreen problem only came when my computer crashed while playing a hd video | 20:06 |
| Artissimo | hatter243: thanks | 20:06 |
| rob0917 | thanks,just don't want to go to jail | 20:06 |
| toehio | it's .mkv | 20:06 |
| trone | anybody know whats wrong | 20:06 |
| scunizi | hatter243: but it also includes mp3 codecs which are "licensed" | 20:06 |
| toehio | H264 | 20:06 |
| zek | toehio: i dont think that vlc's support for mkv is very good | 20:07 |
| hatter243 | scunizi, The heck if I'm going to call the flash player and java "questionable legality" though | 20:07 |
| zek | toehio: that might be part of the problem | 20:07 |
| toehio | zek: I have played mkv in the past without a problem | 20:07 |
| zek | toehio: yeah but the more it has to decode the file the more it will lag | 20:07 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | vlc is fine ..just new versions hv a few problems decompessing videos ..i.e weird colours | 20:07 |
| toehio | zek: but how could it have an effect on totem too? Because after I rebooted none of them can do fullscreen | 20:07 |
| scunizi | hatter243: I would either.. it was just a question about the package itself. If it has codecs that require paying a licensing fee for in the US then I was correct | 20:07 |
| scunizi | *wouldn't | 20:08 |
| Code-E | I am noticing some pretty bad performance right now. Ubuntu keeps freezing every couple of seconds for a split second. Is there any reason for this? | 20:08 |
| toehio | zek: I am trying normal .avi files and that crashes in fullscreen too | 20:08 |
| zek | toehio: totem has never worked for me very well | 20:08 |
| toehio | zek: neither | 20:08 |
| Bob_Dole | mkv is a container file | 20:08 |
| hatter243 | scunizi, you know, you might be right. I guess I never looked to far into which libraries were actually included. | 20:08 |
| Bob_Dole | VLC has poor support for Real media files, Real Media can be put in mkv | 20:08 |
| toehio | Bob_Dole: the codec is H264 | 20:08 |
| Artissimo | hatter243: I have applied those settings and it still isnot working. Do I need to reboot? | 20:08 |
| wildc4rd | looking for advice getting a printer to function under 9.04 | 20:09 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, "sudo /etc/init.d/networking reboot" | 20:09 |
| Bob_Dole | then I havn't a clue. I've only ever had issues with mkv's housing real. | 20:09 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: what printer | 20:09 |
| zek | toehio: go to preferences in vlc and see what your output is (x11 opengl ...) | 20:09 |
| wildc4rd | its a Brother DCP-145C | 20:09 |
| Artissimo | hatter243: is init.d similiar to launchd? | 20:09 |
| toehio | zek: it's default. i will change it to x11 | 20:09 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: have you checked Brother's site for their linux drivers and instructions? | 20:10 |
| zek | toehio: try that and if it doesnt help try opengl | 20:10 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, I don't know. Init.d contains many of the services start/stop scripts | 20:10 |
| wildc4rd | they have a deb file, but ubuntu seems not to detect it | 20:10 |
| Artissimo | Oh, I think it is. launchd is on OS X / some unix. Anyways, ifconfig still shows the Mask:192.0.0 | 20:10 |
| toehio | zek: I will turn off all desktop effects and open a normal .avi xvid file and put it in fullscreen and see what happens. I may crash, so it could take a while for me to come back | 20:11 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | bye | 20:11 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: you mean when you double click it, it doesn't do anything? | 20:11 |
| zek | toehio: ok good luck | 20:11 |
| Bllasae | !nukw | 20:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nukw | 20:11 |
| Bllasae | 2323 | 20:11 |
| zek | toehio: btw you could try ctrl alt backspace instead of rebooting | 20:11 |
| Artissimo | hatter243: Shouldn't ifconfig be showing the update mask? | 20:11 |
| Dulak | Artissimo: sorta, init.d is the dir that contains the scripts to run at boot, so it's more like /Library/LaunchDaemons than launchd | 20:11 |
| toehio | zek: 9.04 disabled that :) | 20:12 |
| toehio | :( | 20:12 |
| === kraut_ is now known as kraut | ||
| Artissimo | Dulak : ah | 20:12 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, How are you "reconfiguring" this? /etc/network/interfaces? | 20:12 |
| Artissimo | hatter243: the gnome ui tool | 20:12 |
| toehio | zek: i also tried alt+ctrl+F1 to get a console and that didn't work | 20:12 |
| trancefat | Hi all, can i access some files from a windows machine to this machine? | 20:12 |
| zek | why did 9.04 disable ctrl alt backspace ?? | 20:12 |
| wildc4rd | scunizi, I installed the deb packages, but when I add printer, ubuntu can't find suitable drivers | 20:12 |
| trancefat | i m on ubuntu 904 | 20:12 |
| Pici | zek: Because xorg disabled it in their source. | 20:12 |
| Bob_Dole | zek: people were accidentally hitting it too often and complained | 20:12 |
| Dulak | Artissimo: init is sort of the launchd of linux, doesn't work anything like launchd really but serves the same sort of function | 20:13 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, oh, okay, right click on the little computer icon thing *uncheck* "Enable Networking" and then recheck it. | 20:13 |
| zek | why didnt they map it to ctrl alt delete so its similar to windows, or make it a four key combo | 20:13 |
| toehio | zek: btw, I use compiz settings manager and every time i turn off advanced desktop effects and turn them on again, it resets the settings. Is there a way to turn off the desktop efffects in a way that doesn't reset them? Maybe not going through the GUI? | 20:13 |
| jonaskoelker | Pici: thanks for the reference to the kernel guide :) | 20:13 |
| mobi-sheep | !dontzap | zek | 20:14 |
| ubottu | zek: 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. | 20:14 |
| mobi-sheep | zek: Now you know how to enable it on. Not too hard, is it? :) | 20:14 |
| uter | hi @ all ;) I have a problem with my Tv-Card (Hauppauge Nova-S Plus) - > since jaunty I am not able too load cx88-dvb, can someone helps me ? | 20:14 |
| zek | toehio: i dont know, i personally am not a fan of eyecandy | 20:14 |
| Artissimo | hatter243: many thanks | 20:14 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: most likely it put the cups driver in a directory that isn't in the path of where cups looks. in a terminal do.. sudo updatedb .. then... locate *.ppd .. this should provide a list of all ppd files on your machine. Look for the one matching your machine and make note of the directory location. then in Firefox go to http://localhost:631 and add the printer there. | 20:14 |
| Pici | zek: You'd have to ask the Xorg developers that. The Ubuntu developers did not make this decision. | 20:14 |
| wildc4rd | mmm, scunizi, do I need the cuppswrapper driver as well as the printer driver? | 20:14 |
| zek | Pici: ok sorry that was offtopic | 20:14 |
| toehio | zek: ok, thanks. (I love it :)) | 20:14 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: probably but that depends on what their site says. | 20:14 |
| hatter243 | Artissimo, Apologies for the confusion, I'm used to working through the terminal and I forgot that the gui networking config uses a different system | 20:15 |
| toehio | zek: the movie is fine so far when it's not in fullscreen | 20:15 |
| zek | toehio: thats good, is it better than before? | 20:15 |
| === Seti-high is now known as Demonicdata | ||
| zek | i know that everybody loves vlc but is there anything better for ubuntu. i know on windows that media player classic works better (better playback ie no lag) is there something similar on ubuntu? | 20:16 |
| dupondje | somebody here with netlog account | 20:17 |
| dupondje | ? | 20:17 |
| mobi-sheep | zek: I liked Gnome-Mplayer | 20:17 |
| UnnamedPlayer | rg | 20:17 |
| mobi-sheep | zek: Not same as Mplayer. Just a different (simpler) front-end. | 20:17 |
| iamtechno | zek: mplayer is very nice | 20:17 |
| wildc4rd | cheers scunizi, was the cups driver, added that and its working fine | 20:17 |
| scunizi | zek the lag could be caused by your video drivers.. try mplayer and gxine for comparison | 20:17 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: cool.. | 20:18 |
| zek | mobi-sheep: does that have better playback than vlc. cause vlc is nice for playing anything but it doesnt play some stuff real well | 20:18 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | Bob_Dole: how do you accidentaly ht CTRL+ALT+backspace? | 20:18 |
| zek | that is a good question. lol | 20:18 |
| Bob_Dole | DetroitLibertyPe, I havn't a clue. | 20:18 |
| zek | toehio: is that working for you? | 20:19 |
| Viper550 | Bob_Dole, this is why we have the new DontZap option by default in newer versions of X I heard | 20:19 |
| mobi-sheep | zek: We all have our own problems. Your problem is different than mine. I don't have problems running MKV or AVI. Our hardwares factors in that too. We even run different video files / formats. :) : | 20:19 |
| Bob_Dole | Viper550, I already figured that | 20:19 |
| zek | mobi-sheep: but it seems like the people at vlc could fix it. | 20:20 |

| zek | mobi-sheep: ok. cool | 20:24 |
| Bllasae | YUM, .tar.gz, .rpm, .deb? | 20:24 |
| zek | mobi-sheep: that you found a fix, not that there is a bug | 20:24 |
| mobi-sheep | zek: When you run vlc, do you get this --> http://www.raiden.net/images/articles/linux_media_players/vlc.png --> Or you get two windows? | 20:24 |
| wildc4rd | ok, printer is working fine on ubuntu, and the windows box can see it, but I get 'access denied, unable to connect' from the windows box | 20:24 |
| helper | if i got script i want to run it always run like in script i put if someone ping my server send me email to kad@kad, the scripting wrking fine but where should i put the script so it will always take this action ? | 20:25 |
| zek | mobi-sheep: i get that on my windows side. but i changed some settings on the ubuntu vlc and its 2 windows | 20:25 |
| zek | mobi-sheep: im going to get around to changing it back sometime | 20:25 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: open System/Admin/Printers and "share" your printer | 20:25 |
| mobi-sheep | zek: Yes. If you could call that a fix by suppressing the old version. | 20:25 |
| wildc4rd | it is | 20:25 |
| zek | toehio: did that work for you? | 20:25 |
| mobi-sheep | zek: Actually, that's a bug you got there. Everybody got it. :) | 20:25 |
| toehio | zek: Hello, I'm back after a few crashes. On vlc, with x11 it works with and without desktop effects but default doesn't work at all. With totem, it just crashes. | 20:25 |
| Bllasae | which flash do i download? | 20:26 |
| Bllasae | YUM, .tar.gz, .rpm, .deb? | 20:26 |
| cyford | hello can someone help me, i am having the hardest time installing ubuntu server on a dell 6350 , i have tryed other dell servers and same issue... it stops at loading files after the disk has been partitioned... i tryed reburning the cd and same issue as well. any help will be greatly appreciated | 20:26 |
| th0r | helper: if you want the script to run at bootup you should install it in /etc/init.d and link it to the proper run level. Google run levels | 20:26 |
| toehio | zek: funny how totem stopped working after that crash. | 20:26 |
| helper | th0r, ya i'm in level 5 i just install it and it will run / | 20:26 |
| zek | toehio: ok, i dont know about anyone else but i never use totem, it doesnt work well for me and vlc works well enough | 20:26 |
| TheUndefined | Quite new to linux here and trying to get something to work. When i insert an audio cd, it shows up in the "recently plugged in" devices, but when opening the folder with dolphin, it sais "could not read". Using KDE. | 20:27 |
| scunizi | wildc4rd: this is something that I've struggled with for a while.. usb printers aren't easily added to windows guests. Google might be your friend there.. I use network printers now. It eliminates the hassel | 20:27 |
| Flannel | cyford: Do the CDs pass verification? | 20:27 |
| ohir | cyford: do you use alternate iso? | 20:27 |
| zek | toehio: thats good that you got vlc working | 20:27 |
| zek | toehio: does it still lag? | 20:27 |
| Bob_Dole | Bllasae, why not get flash from the Repos? add/remove has it, and everything "restricted" bundled in one neat package for you. But if you -must- get it from adobe, get the .deb | 20:28 |
| cyford | well i burned it monthsa back... it is 8.10 i am downloading 9.4 now but dont see any changes relating to my issue on the web | 20:28 |
| RaverWild | hello guys. question - is it normal sendmail daemon to load for 47 seconds on boot time? running jaunty. during every boot everything loads pretty fast except sendmail daemon. right before it mysqld loads. 47secs imho is too much. not 100% sure if it's sendmail or mysqld. any ideas of investigation and speeding up? | 20:28 |
| Bllasae | thanks | 20:28 |
| pedro_ | e ae pessoal do ubuntu | 20:28 |
| toehio | zek: i will try opening that file again. It was 6.6GB, which could explain the lag. | 20:28 |

| Bob_Dole | richard_, GDM isn't going to do a lot of good with no X(xorg) installed | 20:55 |
| richard_ | ok i needed xorg to run compiz | 20:55 |
| richard_ | compix slowed down my pc so i wanted to remove it | 20:55 |
| Gigantic_mini | richard_ what makes your pc slow is compiz |.| and you dont need gdm for that | 20:55 |
| Bob_Dole | xorg= your graphics. no x(such as xorg)= CLI only. GDM= relies on graphics | 20:55 |
| infinityxi | xorg is the graphical environment for your desktop | 20:55 |
| richard_ | bad advice told me to disable gdm | 20:55 |
| infinityxi | compiz is probably slow because of either your videocard or cpu | 20:56 |

| Bob_Dole | I hate how 1 and l have seemingly the exact same character | 21:04 |

| Bob_Dole | Hard drives resizing from 9.5gb to 9.3GB and then not having swap with only 256MB of RAM because the UUID doesn't match anymore... | 21:51 |
| xyzzymaze | Bob_Dole: might be able to connect an external drive and do it that way ... Dell D420, came out before Netbooks | 21:51 |
| david_ | Hi. | 21:51 |
| olmari | xyzzymaze: but you'lll also have to edit fstab as it uses UUID as harddrive identification | 21:51 |
| xyzzymaze | Bob_Dole: but that's what it is, really ... | 21:51 |
| david_ | Does anyone here use Ubuntu on a PlayStation 3? | 21:51 |
| * Dr_Willis changes the uuid's to be 0000-00000-00001 | 21:51 | |
| Dr_Willis | !ps3 | 21:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ps3 | 21:51 |
| xyzzymaze | olmari: yes, just realized that ... | 21:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppc | 21:52 |

| david_ | Thank you. | 21:52 |
| zek | real quick question. does anyone know if there is an easy way of having vlc show superimpose the previous frames on the current frame in a video? | 21:52 |
| slinkp | upgrade to 9.04 hangs on setting up foomatic-db-engine... any advice? | 21:53 |
| AlphaWaves | hello | 21:53 |
| zek | i dont need to use vlc if there is a program that would do that easier | 21:53 |
| olmari | xyzzymaze: I think best opton you would have is to have some way to attach new harddrive to USB converted and just dd whole hd to next | 21:53 |
| AlphaWaves | i have a startup problem with 9.04 | 21:53 |
| olmari | xyzzymaze: and then edit fstab | 21:54 |
| AlphaWaves | it says at load up : modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.../modules.dep : no such file or directory | 21:54 |
| olmari | xyzzymaze: I have an converted that converts basically any sata/3.5/2.5 to usb :) | 21:54 |
| AlphaWaves | can you help me? | 21:54 |
| xyzzymaze | olmari: ah, that would def be a solution .. My fav tool is just dd the drive from one to the next .. I use dcfldd , but no matter.. | 21:55 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Ati guy back | 21:55 |
| bmwerks | how can i remove a usb startup installation from my jump drive? | 21:55 |
| Artissimo | Can I setup samba to be accesible from wan? | 21:55 |
| yoni | Hey all, I'm new to Ubuntu Jaunty | 21:56 |
| UnnamedPlayer | My Nexuiz has gone to hell since a frsh install. | 21:56 |
| yoni | Is it by default have a firewall application installed and configured? | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: accessing a samba share from over the internet You mean? | 21:56 |
| UnnamedPlayer | It worked fine before. | 21:56 |
| myxo | test | 21:56 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: | 21:56 |
| Artissimo | yes | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Artissimo: tats definatly not save. | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | safe | 21:56 |
| myxo | hey guys, just installed x-chat for the first time.. new user to Linux here, am i in the right place? | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | thats what vpns re made for | 21:56 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Nobody is even listening to me since my talking isn't directed at anyone. | 21:56 |
| Artissimo | Dr_Willis: even with a password? | 21:56 |
| SonicComKid | anyone here yet familar with fixing a faulty SAMBA? I can't uninstall/reinstall it, nor even stop the service | 21:56 |
| olmari | xyzzymaze: that converted didn't even cost much... some 30€ MAX | 21:56 |
| UnnamedPlayer | myxo in comparrison to what? | 21:57 |
| Dulak | UnnamedPlayer: my nexuiz plays like ass when I have compiz enabled, I turn off desktop effects when I'm gonna play | 21:57 |
| mobi-sheep | !hi | myxo | 21:57 |
| ubottu | myxo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 21:57 |
| * slinkp considers holding down the power button...eek | 21:57 | |
| UnnamedPlayer | Dulak, have done and nothing. | 21:57 |
| slinkp | sudo is hanging. this can't be good. | 21:57 |
| mzz | slinkp: um, why? | 21:57 |
| Dulak | UnnamedPlayer: it was worth a try | 21:57 |
| xyzzymaze | olmari: cool .. I'll look for that, it would be easier than reinstall .. I got it all the way I like it! ;) | 21:57 |
| myxo | thank you for the welcome, Unnamed. what do you mean "in comparison to what"? | 21:57 |
| mzz | slinkp: wild guess: you ran out of free hd space? | 21:57 |
| Artissimo | dr_willis : even with a username / apssword? | 21:57 |
| UnnamedPlayer | You asked if you were in the right place. | 21:57 |
| myxo | I assume I am | 21:57 |
| myxo | no one has threatened to shiv me yet | 21:58 |
| AlphaWaves | hey no help? | 21:58 |
| * UnnamedPlayer shivs myxo | 21:58 | |
| myxo | oh darn. | 21:58 |
| Bizzeh | i have just installed ubuntu server 8.04 and i was wondering if there was any way to set the power profile to "ondemand" | 21:58 |
| slinkp | mzz: checking... nope... 1.5G free on /, 80G free on /home | 21:58 |
| UnnamedPlayer | lol | 21:58 |
| mzz | slinkp: mmm, odd. Ask the channel though, haven't done any upgrading. | 21:58 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Okie so Nexuiz worked fine before I reinstalled my system | 21:58 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, just killall -9 nmdb smbd | 21:58 |
| Dulak | myxo: a geek would never threaten to do it first, they'd just do it | 21:58 |
| slinkp | mzz: well, yeahh that's why i'm here :-( | 21:58 |
| boss_mc | will stop the service | 21:59 |
| slinkp | mzz: thx anyway | 21:59 |
| boss_mc | agressively | 21:59 |
| UnnamedPlayer | I was running Hardy Heron with 2.5 | 21:59 |
| myxo | Well I am just looking for a place where I can come to ask basic questions, why is the sky blue, why when I type this command my computer moans like a weasel, why don't people google before they ask questions, things like that. | 21:59 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Nexuiz 2.5 | 21:59 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, okay, but things like pkill resulted in a freeze | 21:59 |
| UnnamedPlayer | I installed Jaunty Jackelope with Nexuiz 2.5.1 and everything has gone to crap | 21:59 |
| Dulak | UnnamedPlayer: you could try using an older version of the video driver for your card maybe | 21:59 |
| myxo | Dulak, noted. | 21:59 |
| mzz | myxo: as long as they involve ubuntu they're usually fine here. So the "computer moans like a weasel" one would work as long as the computer's running ubuntu, the "sky blue" one wouldn't | 21:59 |
| slinkp | Upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 seems hung... sudo in console seems to hang... any suggestions? | 22:00 |
| UnnamedPlayer | That's the other thing, with Hardy Heron I had restricted drivers for my graphics, and now it's not restricted | 22:00 |
| slinkp | other than "force reboot and start from scratch" that is ... | 22:00 |
| myxo | I'm pretty sure the sky is blue because of Ubuntu, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence! | 22:00 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, results in a freeze | 22:00 |
| boss_mc | slinkp df -h in terminal to make sure you've got disk space | 22:00 |
| mzz | heh | 22:00 |
| slinkp | boss_mc: confirmed. mzz alredy suggested that :) | 22:00 |
| mzz | slinkp: check dmesg for scary messages while you're at it | 22:00 |
| Demonicdata | hey how do i setup quake terminal to run at startup/login? | 22:01 |
| Demonicdata | and firestarter for that matter | 22:01 |
| slinkp | mzz: does a general protection fault count as scary? :-O | 22:01 |
| mzz | myxo: just stay on the channel and include the nick of the person you're talking to | 22:01 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, can you remove S20samba from /etc/rcX.d | 22:01 |
| UnnamedPlayer | <UnnamedPlayer> That's the other thing, with Hardy Heron I had restricted drivers for my graphics, and now it's not restricted | 22:01 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, where X is 2, 3, 4 | 22:01 |
| mzz | slinkp: probably. Can you still pastebin it or is it too far gone for that? | 22:01 |
| bmwerks | how can i remove a usb startup installation from my jump drive? | 22:01 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, I evit to edit each one? | 22:01 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: ati? | 22:01 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Yeah | 22:02 |
| yomm | demonicadata -> system -> preferences -> startup applications | 22:02 |
| myxo | oh so any message that contains my name turns red? mzz | 22:02 |
| mobi-sheep | !startup | Demonicdata | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Demonicdata: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 22:02 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, yeah, they are the startup services | 22:02 |
| Haze420 | Would anybody know how to setup a "BCM4318 [Airforce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller" within "Ubuntu 9.04". I've have installed a fresh installation and it seems that the wireless card does not automatically install which in turns leaves my with no internet access unless I bounce back in Windows 7.. :/ | 22:02 |
| mzz | myxo: most likely. | 22:02 |
| myxo | oh thanks. | 22:02 |
| === Mack|away is now known as Mack | ||
| UnnamedPlayer | mzz: yeah I've got ATI | 22:02 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, if it's not there, the service won't start on next reboot | 22:02 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, okay I'll try giving that a shot | 22:02 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: jaunty has xserver 1.6. You would need the very latest fglrx (proprietary) drivers to work with that, and fglrx intentionally dropped support for any card that has somewhat decent support using open drivers. | 22:02 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, making it a lot easier to fix... (he says hopefully...) | 22:02 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, no idea what broke it, but NOTHING works, I can't remove it with aptitude, not kill the process, squat | 22:03 |
| Demonicdata | Thanks | 22:03 |
| piotr1955 | helo | 22:03 |
| UnnamedPlayer | mzz: So what can I do? | 22:03 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, have to restart it, ran out of consoles, but a moment | 22:03 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: so many folks with ati can no longer use the proprietary driver without downgrading to xserver 1.5 (which I suspect is not sanely possible in jaunty, but I haven't tried) | 22:03 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, adios! | 22:03 |
| myxo | Is anti-virus software a concern at all for me on a Ubuntu system? It seems to be a relatively lax issue with the people who pointed me to the OS. | 22:03 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: the open driver *should* be rapidly catching up with the closed one performance-wise. | 22:03 |
| UnnamedPlayer | mzz: I'm willing to try, can you let me in on how? | 22:03 |
| mobi-sheep | myxo: No. | 22:04 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: tbh if I absolutely had to use the proprietary driver I'd downgrade to intrepid | 22:04 |
| boss_mc | myxo, if you're intending on sharing files with windows users (you care about...) I'd advise an antivirus for their sake | 22:04 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: (iirc that one has an xserver one-before-latest fglrx runs in) | 22:04 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, should I outright delete it, or just rename it? | 22:04 |
| slinkp | mzz: can't seem to start firefox on that box :( | 22:04 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: err, reinstall intrepid, downgrading is unsupported. | 22:04 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, or move it for that matter | 22:04 |
| myxo | Ah yea boss_mc . my friend did mention that | 22:04 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, delete it | 22:04 |
| mzz | slinkp: I'd say "use pastebinit" but if you can't sudo you can't install that :( | 22:04 |
| SonicComKid | okay | 22:04 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, it's easy to replace | 22:04 |
| mobi-sheep | myxo: Let me find you a good link. | 22:04 |
| pauljr | can I post a link to my post on ubuntu forums? | 22:04 |
| UnnamedPlayer | I by-passed Intrepid. | 22:05 |
| UnnamedPlayer | It gave too many problems with Nexuiz | 22:05 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: I may be wrong though, I have not actually looked for an xserver 1.5 built for jaunty. | 22:05 |
| RaverWild | hello guys. question - is it normal sendmail daemon to load for 47 seconds on boot time? running jaunty. during every boot everything loads pretty fast except sendmail daemon. right before it mysqld loads. 47secs imho is too much. not 100% sure if it's sendmail or mysqld. any ideas of investigation and speeding up? | 22:05 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, there's a K19samba in rc1.d, delete it? | 22:05 |
| Mack | ray | 22:05 |
| mobi-sheep | myxo: This is worth a read on Ubuntu Security --> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security | 22:05 |
| Mack | raylu: ok, godfather in garageband is now complete | 22:05 |
| === asmoHH is now known as jefinc | ||
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, that won't matter, it will have no effect | 22:05 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: also, I'm just assuming you're using a card no longer supported by fglrx, you may want to check. | 22:05 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, you can if you want | 22:05 |
| slinkp | mzz: seems like some shared lib problem ... i can't start any program that wasn't running when this problem started | 22:05 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, okay, so only S20 | 22:05 |
| myxo | thanks mobi-sheep | 22:05 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, | 22:05 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: see the relnotes linked from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fglrx | 22:05 |
| jefinc | my wireless does not show up in the gnome-network manager | 22:06 |
| owen1_ | how to change the keyboard layout from dvorak to regular? | 22:06 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, yes, the S??name files are the services to start (in the order of theor numbers) on boot | 22:06 |
| UnnamedPlayer | mzz: Ummm......kinda a noob when it comes to linux | 22:06 |
| owen1_ | xorg.conf have this line: # commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used | 22:06 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, so if the files not there, it won't start samba | 22:06 |
| pauljr | only since reboot, when I go to fullscreen in xawtv it goes to a 640 res and I can see the entire picture by moving the cursor around it, though this is only since a reboot! | 22:06 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: this is more of a "you know your hardware much better than I do" thing. | 22:07 |
| myxo | Right now I am mostly interested in learning to use the terminal, I have had great fun with the few commands I know, navigating the strange Linux file system and loving "sudo apt-get install/remove <name>" | 22:07 |
| trox | Hi all, I am trying to open the P2P program ANtsP2P, but when I do, I get the following errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/177444/. Anyone familiar with this? | 22:07 |
| UnnamedPlayer | 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] | 22:07 |
| jefinc | I am running a macbook pro and have gone through the steps with the broadcom driver, the wireless adapter shows up in the list after doing; lspci but it does not show in the network manager, any suggestions? | 22:07 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Thats as much as I know.... | 22:07 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: notice the "last release to support pre X2xxx (pre DirectX10) Cards" thing for version 9.3. If you follow the "release notes" links for 9.3 and 9.4 you should find a list of supported cards. | 22:07 |
| boss_mc | myxo, learn the filesystem, it will make you more efficient in the long run | 22:07 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, okay, got them all. Only ones that didn't have a S20samba was rc1.d and rc6.d | 22:08 |
| boss_mc | myxo, e.g. /usr/bin for executables, /usr/lib for libraries | 22:08 |
| UnnamedPlayer | mzz: I'm pretty sure it's integrated currently | 22:08 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, ok, sounds good, try rebooting the computer now, samba should not start | 22:08 |
| Soren1 | does ubuntu need to be told when you plug in a USB mouse in order for the mouse to work | 22:08 |
| SonicComKid | so try an aptitude remove attempt? | 22:08 |
| yomm | 25 | 22:08 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, so try an aptitude remove attempt now? | 22:08 |
| she_dyed | jefin try iwconfig to see if it listed anything new | 22:08 |
| yomm | sry wrong window | 22:08 |

| she_dyed | jefinc, try iwconfig to see if it listed anything new | 22:09 |
| caktus | Hi everybody.. I've been looking throughout some forums and wikis, but I | 22:09 |
| UnnamedPlayer | mzz: could we pm for a sec, or is that not possible with x-IRC? | 22:09 |
| === tanjir is now known as mvb | ||
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, have you rebooted? | 22:09 |
| === mvb is now known as tanjir | ||
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: yeah, if I read the relnotes right that's no longer supported by fglrx 9.4 and up, which you'd need for xserver 1.6. So stick with the open drivers or get an older xserver somehow. | 22:09 |
| myxo | boss_mc i have picked up on the bin for binary. like executables? and i'm not sure exactly what libraries are for outside of scripting languages in windows like AutoIt... is it a related term? | 22:09 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, nope, should notice | 22:09 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, I typed sudo shutdown -r now but... it doesn't seem like it did as aptitude says there's still a pckage manager running | 22:09 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: possible, yes, desirable, no | 22:09 |
| yomm | Sorenl : con't forget to say please :) | 22:10 |
| Soren1 | boss_mc: it didn't | 22:10 |

| mzz | !pm | UnnamedPlayer | 22:10 |
| ubottu | UnnamedPlayer: 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. | 22:10 |
| Soren1 | boss_mc: this is the LiveCD though, IDK if that matters | 22:10 |
| mzz | UnnamedPlayer: I'm not in the "find it rude" camp but I agree with the rest of it, plus it's more convenient for me, and I'm the one giving help so I get to be picky :P | 22:10 |
| UnnamedPlayer | How would one go about getting an older xserver without reverting back to something like intrepid? | 22:11 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, it shouldn't, HAL should notice it and load the default mouse drivers... | 22:11 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, you could check dmesg before and after you plug in the mouse for any errors | 22:11 |
| Soren1 | boss_mc: HAL miust be busy opening up the Pod Bay Doors, ;) lol | 22:11 |
| dreamy | does enlightenement 16 comes with a task bar ? i got none :S | 22:11 |
| Soren1 | boss_mc: IDK how to check that | 22:12 |
| caktus | {sorry} but I am not entirely sure, what am I looking for... I'm running live usb linux to some recovery from dead vistas, but I don't have any external hdd . So I would just like to reorganize the files among the partitions before reinstalling and formatting C:, however, in a default mode the live-USB are read only... how can I change it? | 22:12 |
| boss_mc | myxo, libraries are collections of useful functions that other programs can use | 22:12 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, can you open a terminal? | 22:12 |
| boss_mc | myxo, they're like dlls in windows | 22:12 |
| EugenMayer | are there any SIP clients which are integrating with gnome ( contacts) ? | 22:12 |
| myxo | ah ok boss_mc | 22:12 |
| she_dyed | dreamy, you can enable one with the config menu i think | 22:12 |
| Soren1 | boss_mc: terminal is now open | 22:13 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, pull out the mouse | 22:13 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, success, was able to finally remove samba | 22:13 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: can i run that from a terminal ? i checked and double checked all the menus :S | 22:13 |

| dreamy | all the menu options | 22:13 |
| boss_mc | type dmesg | 22:13 |
| boss_mc | (pressing enter after each...) | 22:13 |
| boss_mc | and see if there are any messages that look bad | 22:13 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, reinstalling samba | 22:13 |
| she_dyed | dreamy there is a left click menu, a right click and does your mouse have a third button (middle) | 22:13 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, good news! now purge it, purge it hard | 22:14 |
| mzz | owen1_: use your favorite graphical xkb utility, or run "setxkbmap -layout us" (the latter is probably not permanent) | 22:14 |
| Soren1 | !pastebin | 22:14 |
| 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) | 22:14 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, samba is fully functional again | 22:14 |
| boss_mc | myxo, config files live either in ~/.programname/ (for user specific options) or in /etc (for system wide) | 22:14 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, good | 22:14 |
| mzz | owen1_: (but you know you want to use dvorak :) | 22:15 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, any idea what would case a completely idle server to suddenly have samba so badly messed up? | 22:15 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, wonder what you did to it...? | 22:15 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, that's what I want to know | 22:15 |
| nijm | Whats a good way to see all the streams in a dvd with their hex stream numbers? | 22:15 |
| nijm | e.g., 0xE0 for the main video etc. | 22:15 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: yes:) ..ive been checking all options there :) | 22:15 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, the ONLY command I did on the server since I last used SAMBA as normal was 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop' | 22:15 |
| raylu | nijm: mplayer -identify | 22:15 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, check those S20samba files were re-created successfully | 22:15 |
| she_dyed | nijm i dunno man all I see is blond brunette redhead | 22:15 |
| nijm | she_dyed, haha | 22:16 |
| owen1_ | mzz: it's for a non-dvorak friend | 22:16 |
| she_dyed | dreamy the dragbar on top, see if you minimize a terminal if it winds up there | 22:16 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, I've not used apache on ubuntu so I can't tell you if that could have caused a screwup | 22:16 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, no.. it didn't rebuild the rc files... I'll purge it then.. the only config I have for SAMBA was a minor one | 22:16 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: nope | 22:16 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, or just recreate them | 22:16 |
| owen1_ | mzz: i'll try the setxkbmap option. how to make it permanent? | 22:16 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: goes into a icon box | 22:16 |
| boss_mc | they are symboli links to /etc/init.d/samba | 22:17 |
| boss_mc | *symbolic | 22:17 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, be easier to purge just to make sure | 22:17 |
| she_dyed | dreamy, iirc e has never had a tray, and people have used apps like stalone to do the job | 22:17 |
| mzz | owen1_: that depends on what's setting it to dvorak in the first place. I'm a bit surprised if that's hal, it's much more common for it to be gnome-settings-daemon or the like (your desktop env, so use its keyboard utility to change it) | 22:17 |
| raylu | owen1_, mzz: system > prefs > keyboard, i thought | 22:17 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, even that might no work, as they are in an unusual situation | 22:17 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, only file I need to protect is smb.conf | 22:17 |
| mzz | owen1_: yeah, what raylu said if you're using gnome. | 22:17 |
| boss_mc | true | 22:17 |
| she_dyed | dreamy, iow its an add-on most of the time, have you tried the elive CD? there is a demo of e16 there | 22:18 |
| Soren1 | boss_mc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/177448/ | 22:18 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, just back that up, purge and reinstall | 22:18 |
| owen1_ | mzz: raylu i use awesome window manager, no gnome/kde | 22:18 |
| mzz | owen1_: (or it can be setxkbmap in your .xsessionrc or the like, but you'd know about that) | 22:18 |
| owen1_ | mzz: raylu it's terminal-based ubuntu | 22:18 |
| sidh | i feel disapointed : i've chosen alternate cd for having the choice of not install grub on MBR (i've made an install of 3 OS before ubuntu without touching the mbr) | 22:18 |
| mzz | owen1_: output of "lshal|grep xkb"? | 22:18 |
| sidh | while the ubuntu installation | 22:18 |
| raylu | owen1_: gnome-keyboard and let tab-completion figure it out :D | 22:18 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: i was just thinking that.. install some add on :S :S .. ? | 22:18 |
| raylu | owen1_: oh, wait, no gnome... | 22:18 |
| dreamy | *i could install some addon | 22:18 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, already on it. Thanks | 22:18 |
| mzz | sidh: this *is* possible but it was not particularly obvious | 22:18 |
| raylu | owen1_: are you using gnome-settings daemon? | 22:18 |
| sidh | it never asked me whether or not install grub on mbr | 22:19 |
| iratik | I've been trying to get desktop effects to be enabled with an nvidia card. When i open up the hardware drivers applet, i do not see any drivers to enable. This is ubuntu 8.10 I've been crawling forums for days, i've already gone back to 8.10 after being so unsuccesful with 9.04 (recompiled kernel, installed sid drivers etc... no luck). I'm trying to do this from the n00b | 22:19 |
| Soren1 | raylu, hi | 22:19 |
| sidh | NEVER | 22:19 |
| iratik | ''s point of view, so i haven't edited xorg.conf | 22:19 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, check it installs them after | 22:19 |
| sidh | in fact it acts like windows | 22:19 |
| raylu | Soren1: hi | 22:19 |
| mzz | sidh: I forgot exactly what I had to do, but basically hit "no! don't do that! abort!" a couple of times until I got a list of installer steps, then pointed it to the one right after the mbr | 22:19 |
| sidh | whatever it is installed before | 22:19 |
| owen1_ | raylu: i don't know | 22:19 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, it might fail because some (the K ones) are already there.. | 22:19 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, it remade the rc2.d file, along with the others | 22:19 |
| raylu | owen1_: pgrep -l gnome | 22:19 |
| she_dyed | dreamy the disadvantage is it might not pick up themed stuff so it may be slightly awkward looking | 22:19 |
| iratik | I'm just noticing that hardware drivers does not show anything, so what do i need to do to make nvidia there in the list so i can enable it | 22:19 |
| sidh | it writes over | 22:19 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, then you are sorted | 22:19 |
| purvesh | any 1 know ".rmvb" which player for that file to play or from where i can download that player, purvesh | 22:20 |
| owen1_ | mzz: here is the result of lshal|grep xkb: http://pastebin.com/m3aab6618 | 22:20 |
| boss_mc | if you're feeling daring, try starting and stopping apache2... | 22:20 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, see if it breaks again ;) | 22:20 |
| mrwes | iratik, is this a fresh install? If so, did you enable third party sources? | 22:20 |
| raylu | !codecs | purvesh | 22:20 |
| ubottu | purvesh: 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 | 22:20 |
| mzz | owen1_: interesting. It actually *is* set through hal, which isn't common. "grep -r dvorak /etc/hal"? | 22:20 |
| Slart | purvesh: sounds like realmedid... the real player isn't half bad on linux | 22:20 |
| owen1_ | raylu: nothing | 22:20 |
| Slart | purvesh: unlike it's windows counterpart | 22:20 |
| owen1_ | mzz: nothing | 22:20 |
| iratik | mrwes: its a fresh install, no have not done anything since install | 22:21 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, seems normal... | 22:21 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: ok.. but i got no idea for that add on i can search trougth | 22:21 |
| mzz | owen1_: same for /usr/share/hal/fdi | 22:21 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, I assume that's from after you plugged in the mouse? | 22:21 |
| mrwes | iratik, enable third party sources and backports and see if it pulls in the hardware drivers | 22:21 |
| sidh | i really wonders why is there an alternate cd, if you can not choose such options | 22:21 |
| iratik | Thank you | 22:21 |
| owen1_ | mzz: i can try 'setxkbmap -layout us' if u think it can help. what is HAL? sounds futuristic.. | 22:21 |
| Soren1 | boss_mc: it is the same terminal before and after | 22:22 |
| raylu | !hal | 22:22 |
| ubottu | For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer | 22:22 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, samba service starts and stops as it should now, but vista refuses to access it samba share | 22:22 |
| mzz | owen1_: I'd be really surprised if "setxkbmap -layout us" sticks across an X restart. | 22:22 |
| boss_mc | owen1_, Hardware Abstraction Layer | 22:22 |
| she_dyed | dreamy i think its stalone tray or something like that | 22:22 |
| raylu | SonicComKid: smbclient -L localhost | 22:22 |
| mzz | owen1_: but then again I'm already surprised hal is initializing it to dvorak, and I can't find how that happened yet. | 22:22 |
| Soren1 | raylu, somehow XP and or Belkin hosed network settings in XP............i.e. I cannot connect either wired or wireless, but it works in Ubuntu............so I need to start all over with installing XP first <heavy sigh> | 22:22 |
| helper | if someone is pining my server ! how i can check this by logs? | 22:22 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, it might take a while to be recognised, I've had to wait a few minutes before for it to get noticed... | 22:22 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: screenshots on e16 got alot of handsome.. pretty taskbars | 22:23 |
| dreamy | ive just checked | 22:23 |
| raylu | Soren1: no, as others have said, you can install xp and then just reinstall grub | 22:23 |
| Demonicdata | su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/firestarter | 22:23 |
| mzz | owen1_: roughly hal is a daemon keeping a tree of device information (built through a combination of autodetection and configuration files) which apps can use to scan for hardware and be notified on changes. Recent versions of Xorg use it for input devices. | 22:23 |
| Demonicdata | Is that the correct command to put in a startup | 22:23 |
| owen1_ | mzz: on install i asked for dvorak. maybe that's why? | 22:23 |
| Soren1 | raylu: I never installed Ubuntu, I am still on the LiveCd | 22:23 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, a system restart did it | 22:24 |
| owen1_ | Soren1: it's never too late. | 22:24 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, I got access to files again | 22:24 |
| mzz | owen1_: hal still has to be told somehow, and I'm not sure how that's happening if not through /etc/hal or /usr/share/hal/fdi | 22:24 |
| Soren1 | lol | 22:24 |
| raylu | Soren1: oh. | 22:24 |
| Demonicdata | I added that in the startup but it seems to have given me great permissions,it isn't prompting me to supply a password when i try and launch programs i think should require higher permission,like update | 22:24 |
| sina | Hello, I just installed Ubuntu and my internet is unnaturally slow. Any help? | 22:24 |
| mzz | owen1_: oh wait, perhaps I do. Is your terminal encoding dvorak? I wonder if it's tied to that somehow. | 22:24 |
| she_dyed | dreamy i am not on e16 right now but if you ca d/load the devel version | 22:24 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, thank you VERY much | 22:24 |
| nymphonix | what should CPU usage usually be around? my conky is saying both CPUs are consistently running at 25%+ | 22:24 |
| she_dyed | dreamy i use e17 thats why | 22:24 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, you're welcome, this #ubuntu channel is fun procrastination from work... | 22:25 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: u mean u use e17 cause of the bar? | 22:25 |
| raylu | Demonicdata: wouldn't it be easier to just modify your /etc/sudoers? | 22:25 |
| owen1_ | mzz: i have dvorak all over the place. | 22:25 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, you wouldn't belive the things I tried to get the stupid thing to uninstall x.x | 22:25 |
| Soren1 | anyways, ty boss_mc | 22:25 |
| owen1_ | mzz: on the install i asked for it. | 22:25 |
| alfacat_ | how do i configure jaunty for multiple wm? | 22:25 |
| sina | I just installed Ubuntu and my internet is unnaturally slow | 22:25 |
| mzz | owen1_: /etc/default/console-setup | 22:25 |
| mzz | owen1_: although I have no clue how that's getting into hal, it just might. | 22:25 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, to my knowledge NOTHING should have changed anything. Stopping an apache2 server from running shouldn't have caused the SAMBA meltdown | 22:26 |
| owen1_ | mzz: i would like to have change it sometimes, when non-dvorak users want to use my machine. | 22:26 |
| she_dyed | because of a lot of things that make it wonderful to use dreamy not just the bar | 22:26 |
| mzz | owen1_: "setxkbmap -layout us" should work just fine if you're changing it just once though. | 22:26 |
| owen1_ | mzz: let me try. | 22:26 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, I wonder why aptitude couldn't uninstall it, one of the strenghts of linux is that you can remove just about everything while it's running and it will work until you restart it | 22:26 |
| mzz | owen1_: I'm really just intrigued by this making it into hal's device tree somehow | 22:26 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, what's more crasy is whatever was wrong with samba was massive enough to make the console hang even with commands like pkill and killall | 22:26 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, then you try to reboot, you realise you accidentally deleted libstdc and boom, nothing works... | 22:27 |
| boss_mc | :) | 22:27 |
| boss_mc | good times | 22:27 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: but i wont be simple .. not has simple has i installed e16 (with synaptics) im a new bie :) | 22:27 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, aptitdue was hanging at the 'stopping samba daemons' step of removing it | 22:27 |
| boss_mc | ah | 22:27 |
| owen1_ | mzz:ok, no dvorak. now how to bring it back. | 22:27 |
| Demonicdata | I was just trying to setup firestarter to boot raylu and that is the command i derived from the link i copied to the desktop.no idea what i'm doing i just installed ubuntu last night | 22:27 |
| boss_mc | SonicComKid, fair enough | 22:27 |
| mzz | owen1_: setxkbmap -layout dvorak | 22:27 |
| sina | Hello, I just installed Ubuntu and my internet is unnaturally slow. | 22:28 |
| myxo | Oh man I suck, I just spent 15 minutes on the phone unable to give someone directions to the intersection of Trade and Tryon in Charlotte and I live in Charlotte... lol | 22:28 |
| owen1_ | mzz: great. thanks. | 22:28 |
| saxin | sina: lan or wlan? | 22:28 |
| sina | saxin: Not sure | 22:28 |
| mzz | owen1_: you can also do something fancy where some key combo switches between the two, but I don't know if that works reliably. | 22:28 |
| mzz | owen1_: forgot the exact syntax for that one, sorry. | 22:29 |
| mixi | hello | 22:29 |
| jefinc | I have a problem with my wireless adapter on my macbook pro, iwconfig displays "no wireless extentions" though lspci shows the wireless adapter, any suggestions? | 22:29 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: Did u too not had a taskbar with e16 .. and goten one with e17 by standard? | 22:29 |
| boss_mc | hi mixi | 22:29 |
| owen1_ | mzz: can i add it to xinitrc if i want to persist it? | 22:29 |
| mixi | hi boss | 22:29 |
| mzz | owen1_: should work afaik, unless you end up racing with something. You *might* need to put it after a "sleep" | 22:29 |
| CoBaY | join ubuntu-f | 22:30 |
| mzz | owen1_: "(sleep 10; setxkbmap -layout whatever) &" | 22:30 |
| owen1_ | mzz: i only have 1 line there: exec awesome | 22:30 |
| mzz | owen1_: try without the silly sleep first though. | 22:30 |
| sina | saxin: are you there? | 22:30 |
| saxin | sina: ye | 22:30 |
| she_dyed | dreamy on e17 its right there and can autohide but I used e16 when it did NOT have one | 22:30 |
| sina | saxin: Im not sure which one I have | 22:30 |
| saxin | cable or wireless? :) | 22:31 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: ok..that good info :) | 22:31 |
| sina | saxin: cable | 22:31 |
| x_ | hello all | 22:31 |
| she_dyed | dreamy so I had a clean clear desktop but you know hte most amazing feature it had | 22:31 |
| owen1_ | mzz: ok. thanks | 22:31 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: id like to install e17 then ? ... im a new bie :S S .. lol :) | 22:31 |
| michael_ | quick question - what terminal command to check hard drives in your computer? | 22:31 |
| michael_ | tried lspci but don't see it there | 22:31 |
| dreamy | wich one ? she_dyed ? | 22:32 |
| EugenMayer | hello, anybody can help me with linphone? it cant fine a video device ( because i dont have one.. ) and cant start. Anyway to disable tis? | 22:32 |
| iratik | mrwes: I've turned on the 3rd party sources, i've still got this same issue where there is nothing listed in the hardware drivers even after doing apt-get update .. screenshot: http://www.tinyurl.com/nvidiacompizdifficult | 22:32 |
| she_dyed | dreamy the pager | 22:32 |
| x_ | hd or filesystem ? | 22:32 |
| ton2 | ubuntu vs suse ? | 22:32 |
| dreamy | pager.. cool | 22:32 |
| myxo | What is the logic behind the term "apt-get" what do the abbreviations mean? | 22:32 |
| michael_ | anyone know which terminal command to list hard drives? | 22:32 |
| she_dyed | dreamy the pager was a high quality snapshot of the virtual desktops | 22:32 |
| dreamy | cool | 22:32 |
| iratik | michael_: cat /etc/fstab, or fdisk -l | 22:32 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: if i want to isntall e17 shall i remove e16 ? | 22:33 |
| Slart | !apt | 22:33 |
| she_dyed | dreamy no, they can coexist | 22:33 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 22:33 |
| sina | saxin: cable | 22:33 |
| she_dyed | dreamy but if i were you, i set up another user example dreamy17 | 22:34 |
| ton2 | what is more pretty suse or ubuntu ? | 22:34 |
| michael_ | iratik, perfect, and to see space on a selected hard drive? :) thank you | 22:34 |
| she_dyed | and dreamy 17 would use e17 | 22:34 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: but i whooud be eazy if id use synaptics like i used with e16.. simple install it was | 22:34 |
| iratik | michael_: df | 22:34 |
| Dulak | myxo: test | 22:34 |
| myxo | Dulak: yes? | 22:34 |
| nymphonix | ton2, up to you really. i've seen "pretty" set ups with both. | 22:34 |
| michael_ | iratik, oh it's in fdisk -l too.. thank you so much :) | 22:34 |
| she_dyed | dreamy and thats the safest | 22:34 |
| Slart | myxo: there are several apt commands.. apt-get for installing stuff.. apt-cache for searching the downloaded package list and such.. | 22:34 |
| drrohin | i need help with nvidia rad nforce4 | 22:34 |
| Dulak | myxo: did that show up red to you? | 22:34 |
| michael_ | iratik, i wish xchat had some feature where i could give you a thumbs up :) | 22:34 |
| myxo | Dulak: yes | 22:34 |
| ryanprior | I bought a new Edimax EW-7128G wireless card and plugged it in but lspci doesn't recognize it. What can I do? | 22:35 |
| drrohin | i need help with a nForce4 raid | 22:35 |
| nymphonix | I like the support of Ubuntu with the forums and on here, so I'm happy to stick with it for some time. And then when I get refamiliar with linux, I'll add some more distros. | 22:35 |
| myxo | ubottu: thank you, understanding the terminology helps me to remember what each command does =) | 22:35 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:35 |
| Slart | ryanprior: if lspci doesn't see I think you've got problems | 22:35 |
| SonicComKid | boss_mc, thanks again. Heading off | 22:35 |
| ryanprior | Slart: What sort of problems? | 22:35 |
| Slart | ryanprior: things usually show up in lspci even if there is no driver for it | 22:35 |
| alfacat_ | I have jaunty running on a dual core, with a old RCT display, and using an integrated graphics board, and I cant get it to show reolutions bigger than 800x600. I've read that jaunty uses RandR for xorg configuration, but how can I change resolution | 22:35 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: im goint to try to do a search on e17 on synapctics | 22:35 |
| ton2 | how can i test my fcrdns ? | 22:36 |
| ryanprior | Slart: So, is there anything I can do short of sending back the card and getting a new one? | 22:36 |
| alfacat_ | ? | 22:36 |
| Slart | alfacat_: check the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. it will tell you why it isn't using a higher resolution | 22:36 |
| she_dyed | dreamy you wont regret it | 22:36 |
| Dulak | alfacat: are you sure the monitor and graphics card has enough memory to support a higher resolution? | 22:36 |
| Slart | ryanprior: well.. I would try it in another computer first.. see if it works there | 22:36 |
| ryanprior | Slart: I don't have another computer. :-( | 22:36 |
| drrohin | I need help with nForce4 raid | 22:36 |
| myxo | ubottu: lol @ bot comment | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:36 |
| adac | Is it possible when I have an ubuntu live cd to set up that it should boot from usb? | 22:36 |
| ton2 | how can i test my fcrdns ? | 22:36 |
| Slart | alfacat_: you can also pastebin it and give us the link.. we might be able to find something you might miss | 22:36 |
| dreamy | ok but i think its not listed she_dyed .. let me try | 22:36 |
| Slart | !pastebin | alfacat_ | 22:36 |
| ubottu | alfacat_: 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) | 22:37 |
| Dulak | alfacat: by default ubuntu will usually set your resolution at the highest setting the hardware can handle | 22:37 |
| Slart | !usb | adac | 22:37 |
| ubottu | adac: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:37 |
| alfacat_ | yes I'm sure, it was working fine with ubuntu 8.04 | 22:37 |
| Dulak | alfacat_: sweet, it's worth asking just to be sure before we go through a bunch of troubleshooting | 22:38 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: thats rigth .. no e17 on synaptics.. did u installed it trougth there? | 22:38 |
| Slart | ryanprior: then I don't know what to try.. try putting it in another pci slot | 22:38 |
| Slart | ryanprior: it is a pci card, right? | 22:38 |
| alfacat_ | the trouble is I cant configure xserver-xorg the old way, because a lot has changed in the new conf process | 22:38 |
| ryanprior | Slart: Okay, I'll try that. It is a PCI card. | 22:38 |
| adac | Slart, when I have the live cd and start that cd then there is an option to boot from the first hard disk. I instead want that on restart it should boot from usb | 22:38 |
| Slart | adac: I have no idea how to do that, sorry | 22:39 |
| boss_mc | myxo, stop bullying ubottu | 22:39 |
| Zephryos | To Anyone: Have the live CD put on a USB and it boots up, but after it goes to the Ubuntu boots where it says "Try Ubutu" it goes to a text only thiong. How do I get it back to how it was with the live CD. I'm wanting to run this dfully off my 2gb USB drive | 22:39 |
| adac | Slart, no problem! | 22:39 |
| boss_mc | myxo, he's only little | 22:39 |
| she_dyed | dreamy maybe its called enlightenment? | 22:39 |
| myxo | lol | 22:39 |
| alfacat_ | strange, I have 2 connections to this channel | 22:39 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: on that word comes the e16 | 22:40 |
| myxo | boss_mc: could i ask you where i could find a guide to dealing with .gz packages? i am not sure what to do with them after mounting, i have only found how to "browse" inside them | 22:40 |
| Bob_Dole | so, if I wanted to remove adobe-flash 10...completely.. how would I do that(aka, what's the package name) I want flash 9, and only flash 9. | 22:41 |
| gordonjcp | myxo: What exactly are you trying to do? | 22:41 |
| Zephryos | Anyone? | 22:41 |
| gordonjcp | !anyone | Zephryos | 22:41 |
| ubottu | Zephryos: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:41 |
| boss_mc | myxo, do you mean .tar.gz? | 22:41 |
| myxo | just trying to install software like something I found called LilyPond and CSounds. | 22:41 |
| myxo | yet boss_mc | 22:41 |
| myxo | yes* | 22:41 |
| boss_mc | myxo, if so they are like zip files | 22:41 |
| UntouchableMX | hi every one | 22:42 |
| Bob_Dole | gordonjcp, he asked already, then said "anyon?" after waiting | 22:42 |
| Zephryos | I did... | 22:42 |
| boss_mc | myxo, tar xvzf filename will extract them | 22:42 |
| gordonjcp | myxo: the websites for these will have instructions on how to compile | 22:42 |
| gordonjcp | Bob_Dole: yeah, but that's gone now | 22:42 |
| boss_mc | or they'll open if you click on them in the file manager (nautilus) | 22:42 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: anyway, what was the question? | 22:42 |
| myxo | ah okay | 22:42 |
| Dulak | myxo: it's probably best for you to stick with software from the repositories till you get a little more comfortable in linux | 22:42 |
| myxo | i got a program called Stellarium and all i've figured out how to do is extract it. lol. | 22:42 |
| boss_mc | myxo, what file was it? | 22:43 |
| myxo | Dulak: but its so tempting =) i love playing hehe | 22:43 |
| gordonjcp | myxo: approximately it's "tar xzf package.tar.gz; cd package; ./configure; make; sudo make install" | 22:43 |
| Slart | myxo: install that from the repos... much easier | 22:43 |
| Zephryos | Have the live CD put on a USB and it boots up, but after it goes to the Ubuntu boots where it says "Try Ubutu" it goes to a text only thing. How do I get it back to how it was with the live CD? I'm wanting to run this dfully off my 2gb USB drive | 22:43 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: okay | 22:43 |
| Flannel | myxo: stellarium is in the repos, why not just install that one? | 22:43 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: on synaptic with the comes the e16 .. ive checked and double checked ;) | 22:43 |
| Dulak | myxo: I know, I'm that way too, just saying... use repos if at all possible | 22:43 |
| Bob_Dole | !flash | 22:43 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 22:43 |
| gordonjcp | you can boot from the livecd, yes? | 22:43 |
| Slart | myxo: just type sudo apt-get install stellarium | 22:43 |
| myxo | Slart: not all of the ones i've searched are listed, didn't realize Stellarium was there | 22:43 |
| myxo | Slart: will do | 22:43 |
| darwinwj | Hello everyone, first timer here. | 22:43 |
| UntouchableMX | hey guys, is there a way to install de default network maneger, I accidently uninstalled it | 22:43 |
| Dulak | myxo: anytime you find a program you want to try, go to synaptic and search for it there | 22:44 |
| Bob_Dole | I actually want to remove flash... *goes to see if that mentions the package name* | 22:44 |
| Zephryos | Gordon:Yes | 22:44 |
| boss_mc | myxo, in the terminal, the tab key will auto complete words if it can, including package names | 22:44 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: cool | 22:44 |
| she_dyed | dreamy maybe if you're feeling bold get the deb package? but I wouldn't know how | 22:44 |
| boss_mc | myxo, press it twice to see all possible completions of an ambiguous word | 22:44 |
| raylu | Demonicdata: sorry for going afk on you | 22:44 |
| myxo | I'm running into errors here and there, I need to sit down this weekend and spend a lot of time learning it all. =( | 22:44 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: incidentally if you hit "gord<tab>" it will autocomplete my nick, and that will show your name up bright yellow | 22:44 |
| Dulak | myxo: enable the universe and multiverse repos too, they have a LOT of packages not included by default | 22:45 |
| myxo | Right now I have no access to internet, I'm at Panera Bread lol. | 22:45 |
| raylu | Demonicdata: i thought you wanted to elevate to root without supplying a password | 22:45 |
| myxo | I'm logging all of this though. | 22:45 |
| raylu | Demonicdata: anyway, you should probably ask the channel again for help | 22:45 |
| myxo | If I can remember the directory!! | 22:45 |
| fil_ | Can someone send me his ubuntu default themes cause I've lost them. Please, it's urgent! | 22:45 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: maybe that whould be nice.... i know software sources can be added at settings on synapitc too | 22:45 |
| dreamy | :S | 22:45 |
| Kage[Work] | Really dumb question, I think... | 22:45 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: so when you're addressing someone directly they can see it easily in the massive massive scroll of nonsense ;-) | 22:45 |
| coldboot | I need someone to try something out in Ubuntu Intrepid's pidgin 2.5.2. It will hang your pidgin, but won't do anything else. Try pasting this string: "?cs=d2_maemo_pda_001:dcoleman:20090519224327", without quotes, into a message window. Tell me what happens. | 22:45 |
| chris_ | Hi, is this how grep works? If I ask: grep key* file | 22:45 |
| Kage[Work] | How do I pass this: ./configure --enable-pam && make install | 22:45 |
| Kage[Work] | Through to apt-get install ? | 22:45 |
| UntouchableMX | any body knows the name of the default network maneger, and how to install it manually | 22:45 |
| Slart | fil_: they aren't in the repos? | 22:45 |
| gordonjcp | Kage[Work]: you don't | 22:45 |
| boss_mc | Kage, you don't | 22:45 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: Ah that's nice, yeh I see that. :-) | 22:45 |
| Kage[Work] | gordonjcp, Is there any way I can? | 22:45 |
| chris_ | should it output for example: # Fake ifupdown environment | 22:45 |
| alfacat_ | Dulac, Slart: I cant do it right now because the linux box i'm talking about is at work. I will try to change the rct to another one and also get the xorg log before wasting your time. Thanks a lot :-) | 22:45 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: but how did you installed it yourself ? | 22:46 |
| darwinwj | Anyone had trouble installing adobe flash 10 on 8.04 Hardy Heron and got Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libpango1.0-0 | 22:46 |
| boss_mc | Kage[Work], http://www.howtoforge.com/repackage_deb_packages_debian_ubuntu might help | 22:46 |
| myxo | Dulak boss_mc Slart gordonjcp Flannel thank you for your comments and sorry for my inability to keep up, I dive into things and get in over my head x,x I'll catch up though! | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kage[Work]: you could do apt-get source <package> and tweak the config in the debian/ directory | 22:46 |
| kora-chan | heya im running jaunty and i have a small config question. i havw installed a kde4 app to learn vocabulary; but the fonts are really huge,.. how can i scale them down? i tried it with the qt4 configuration but it had no effect,... any idea? | 22:46 |
| Demonicdata | I don't like the way this ubuntu windows manager looks,gnome i believe its called,would it be a pain to switch to a differnet windows manager,i mean would i loose all my programs or what? | 22:46 |
| Bob_Dole | .............. | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: right so you booted from CD, and installed to a USB drive? | 22:46 |
| Kage[Work] | gordonjcp, I'm trying to install ejabberd via apt and use pam support, but you have to enable it in the configure options | 22:46 |
| Slart | myxo: no worries.. the channel can be a bit hectic | 22:46 |
| Bob_Dole | Adobe still says I have flash 10 installed, I keep trying to get rid of it | 22:46 |
| boss_mc | Kage[Work], it shows you how to edit a .deb package to do what you want it to do | 22:46 |
| myxo | Why would the terminal say that it is unable to find Stellarium? | 22:46 |
| Kage[Work] | boss_mc, I know how to edit debian packages | 22:46 |
| myxo | sudo apt-get install Stellarium | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kage[Work]: yeah, you can't do that with the apt package | 22:46 |
| Kage[Work] | I'm just trying to do it an easier way :/ | 22:46 |
| OmegaII | Hi there, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 server on an EEEPC 901. I have an external USB hard drive with ext4. The problem I'm having is slow reading and writing speeds when I try to put files on it via FTP / SMB / SFTP , they all give the same result. It goes fine for a couple of random seconds, and then falls back to 800-1000~ kbps. Anyone some advice what the problem might be. Or how to find the problem. | 22:46 |
| * Kage[Work] sighs | 22:46 | |
| Slart | Demonicdata: why not give KDE a try.. download a live cd with Kubuntu and give it a spin | 22:47 |
| Kage[Work] | That really sucks.. | 22:47 |
| Flannel | myxo: Are you connected to the internet? Is this a new install? have you done 'sudo apt-get update'? | 22:47 |
| FloodBot3 | Kage[Work]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:47 |
| Dulak | Demonicdata: the programs and the window manager are seperate, if you install kde for example, kde's menu will have all the same programs listed as gnome does, though some will be replaced with kde versions | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | myxo: lower case s | 22:47 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: Yes, I used the USB Boot Creation tool like ziroday suggested yesterday night to get to this point. | 22:47 |
| Slart | Demonicdata: or you could install KDE on your existing system | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: okay | 22:47 |
| myxo | Flannel: yes, yes, yes. | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: wait wait | 22:47 |
| EugenMayer | is jaunty still using /etc/apt/preferences | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: did you want to put the *installer* on the USB key? | 22:47 |
| Demonicdata | I am looking at that switch right now,i hear enlightenment is also good,but i'm saying now that i have ubuntu all installed and configured how hard would it be to switch to KDE? | 22:47 |
| myxo | lower case worked, haha | 22:47 |
| Flannel | myxo: and the update goes without a problem? Please pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update | 22:47 |
| myxo | is lower case the standard? | 22:47 |
| Slart | EugenMayer: doesn't seem so | 22:47 |
| Demonicdata | yeah I want to switch my windows manager,its not going to mess up all my programs right? | 22:47 |
| myxo | Flannel: yes, I'm anal about my computers, even in a new OS i've updated more than once a day | 22:47 |
| Slart | Demonicdata: not very hard.. install kubuntu-desktop and you should be done | 22:48 |
| myxo | Flannel: i consider slowness a "major issue" haha | 22:48 |
| Flannel | myxo: packages are all lowercase, yes. stellarium is the package name. | 22:48 |
| gordonjcp | Kage[Work]: the prebuilt debs generally have the most common "normal" options - if you want pam then you just roll your own package. There are good docs on how to do this | 22:48 |
| boss_mc | Kage[Work], the deb packages contain compiled binaries... the configure arguments change how the binaries ar made, how could apt change the binary? | 22:48 |
| myxo | Flannel: which is why i left my old country of windows... | 22:48 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: I'm wanting to run the computer from the USB. This laptop has no internal HD, no internal CD Drive. So I'm using a External CD Drive and the USBB Drive. I also have a wireless card in the expansion slot . | 22:48 |
| Dulak | Demonicdata: not hard at all, there is a meta-package called kubuntu-desktop you can install that will put all the kde stuff into your system just like if you had installed kubuntu in the first place | 22:48 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: okay, your options are put the install image on the USB key and boot from that - and treat it as a faster livecd | 22:49 |
| Kage[Work] | boss_mc, Yeah, I see your point.. | 22:49 |
| folarin | amy-best@hotmail.it | 22:49 |

| chazco | Hi... anyone know how to stop the "double click" touchscreen effect? | 22:49 |
| Demonicdata | Dulak I didn't know about Kubuntu till right now.DAM! | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: or actually install a bootable OS to the key | 22:49 |
| myxo | Flannel: lower case with stellarium worked, i'd like to get some things to play with offline, tutorials or single player games | 22:49 |
| graft | is it possible to get true transparency for gnome-terminal's background, somehow? | 22:49 |
| Dulak | Demonicdata: it's ok, that's what the meta packages are for | 22:49 |
| myxo | Flannel: if you or anyone else can suggest any | 22:49 |
| Flannel | !games | myxo | 22:49 |
| ubottu | myxo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 22:49 |
| Slart | graft: yes, using compiz | 22:49 |
| Demonicdata | Ok so I look in add/remove programs for kubuntu desktop and it will take care of itself | 22:49 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: usb key = ? And god love that autocomplete Tab feature... | 22:49 |
| graft | Slart: how? | 22:49 |
| iratik | Why aren't any drivers showing up in "Hardware Drivers" ?I have an nvidia card! | 22:50 |
| Slart | graft: there is a compiz plugin called.. something about opacity I think | 22:50 |
| myxo | Flannel: why such a response lol? | 22:50 |
| boss_mc | graft, or using metacity's compositing manager.... | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: sorry, I thought you meant like a flash drive | 22:50 |
| === reva16 is now known as Alberto^ | ||
| jonaskoelker | Hi all. I'm on intrepid. I have my TV plugged in with s-video. In gnome-display-settings, when I select "Mirror screens", the screens aren't mirrored. How do I mirror screens? I've had a working screen-mirror set up on this box earlier | 22:50 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: It's a 2GB Datacenter (r) USB Drive. | 22:50 |
| darwinwj | Hey Bob Dole, to get rid of flash 10 don't you just open the terminal and put in sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree ??? I did it and it worked | 22:50 |
| fil_ | Slart, yeah, thanks xD | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: anyway there should be no problem with booting the install CD from your USB CD drive, and installing to the USB hard drive | 22:51 |
| boss_mc | graft, gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager –type bool true | 22:51 |
| folarin | ciao+ | 22:51 |

| ubottu | folarin: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 22:51 |
| boss_mc | graft, switches to composited metacity (requires good graphics drivers...) | 22:51 |
| graft | boss_mc: hm, okay, i will play around with that | 22:51 |
| mythman | I am after an app that can download search and download for DVD Covers i am running ubuntu 9.04 can you recommend anything | 22:51 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp:I thought thats what I had already done... are yuo ok with PM or would you prefer to remain here. | 22:51 |
| Eternaut4 | hi, can somebody tell me the command to know the path of the current directory? | 22:51 |
| graft | Eternaut4: pwd | 22:52 |
| iratik | cwd | 22:52 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: may as well remain here | 22:52 |
| iratik | err.. what graft said | 22:52 |
| Eternaut4 | pwd, thanks a lot =) | 22:52 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: no, the make usb bootable drive thing is for blatting the install image onto a USB drive | 22:52 |
| boss_mc | myxo, what do you want to do on ubuntu? Games, work, developement, webbrowsing, server hosting, ? | 22:52 |
| Demonicdata | so I got to ask,of all the windows manager whats the best and what does gnome having go for it? | 22:52 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: for various boring technical reasons the mechanicals behind booting from CD and booting from USB are different | 22:52 |
| graft | Demonicdata: gnome is not a window manager, it's a desktop environment | 22:53 |
| graft | Demonicdata: metacity is a window manager | 22:53 |
| walter_ | i want to love ubuntu | 22:53 |
| boss_mc | Demonicdata, GNOME is easy to use, looks decent and is reasonably fast, it's the most average DE | 22:53 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: booting from CD resembles booting from floppy, booting from USB resembles booting from a hard disk | 22:53 |
| iratik | Demonicdata: Asking what is "best" is a matter of subjective opinion, graft described gnome well.. but i don't want you to get discouraged with semantics | 22:53 |
| Demonicdata | Oh i didn't know that | 22:53 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: Ah ok, well I'm wanting it to be my main drive :D Not going to use it for anything but college assignments using GIMP, OpenOffice, n IM chatting so it shoudl suit me well enough on a 2GB.. | 22:53 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: ye | 22:53 |
| Slart | Demonicdata: what you want and what others want might or might not be the same.. just try them and see which one works for you | 22:53 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: if it's a 2GB 2.5" drive, will it fit in your laptop in place of the missing drive? | 22:53 |
| Demonicdata | I thought gnome was a windows manager,is KDE and enlightenment windows managers or desktop enviroment and most importantly what is the difference between a desktop enviroment and a windows manager? | 22:53 |
| iratik | Can anyone help me with compiz, i can't get it to work! | 22:53 |
| she_dyed | dreamy am using another distro and they had an rpm for it (like a deb) | 22:53 |
| myxo | boss_mc: i just want to learn, learn and game, through Cedega | 22:54 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: 2GB may be a *little* tight | 22:54 |
| myxo | boss_mc: expand my horizons, in general | 22:54 |
| Pixels | are there any ubuntu developers here? Is Seveas a developer? | 22:54 |
| Slart | Demonicdata: KDE, gnome and XFCE are all well supported by ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu respectively.. they have all got livecd's you can download | 22:54 |
| walter_ | gordon jcp im ddosing you | 22:54 |
| myxo | boss_mc: complicated math software would be nice, i'm an EE | 22:54 |
| Pixels | Seveas: are you one of the main ubuntu developers? | 22:54 |
| Viper550 | Demonicdata, Gnome is not a WM. Metacity is Gnome's window manager. Kwin is KDE's Window manager | 22:54 |
| myxo | boss_mc: EE major, corrected | 22:54 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: Alright so how to I go about this. And 2.5" drive... I have no clue o.o;; its a standard USB size one, 10$ from the store.. | 22:54 |
| linduxed | how do i make a file read-only | 22:55 |
| linduxed | ? | 22:55 |
| boss_mc | linduxed, chmod -w filename | 22:55 |
| iratik | linduxed: read only for who? | 22:55 |
| enthused_ | linduxed: chmod 444 file | 22:55 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: okay, so a flash drive? | 22:55 |
| Demonicdata | I'm not sure what the diff is,new and all.So is it easy to switch between windows managers or desktop enviroments? | 22:55 |
| Viper550 | Demonicdata, yeah | 22:55 |
| Viper550 | Demonicdata, that's what the Session button does on the login screen | 22:55 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: basically if you've nothing you care about losing on the USB drive, just follow the installer prompts | 22:55 |
| fyn_ | I turned on some stuff that makes fglrx lock hard.. how do I stop KDM from loading without having to find a bootdisk? | 22:55 |
| darwinwj | can anyone help with getting adobe flash 10 to install on 8.04 Hardy Heron? | 22:55 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: handy hint - if you've got any USB things sticking out of the laptop, they will get broken off | 22:56 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: gaffa tape a USB hub to the lid and plug the drive in with a short USB extension | 22:56 |
| Slart | darwinwj: what version is in the repos? or it doesn't work? | 22:56 |
| enthused_ | has anyone seen ssh client syntax like the following: user:number@host ? anyone know how that number affects things? I haven't found docs on it | 22:56 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: Luckily I have one of those... | 22:57 |
| dreamy | she_dyed: okey | 22:57 |
| myxo | boss_mc: now that I think of it, i do a lot of video and dvd ripping/encoding, i like to make AMV's (very rarely) to games that i play, mostly in homage to music, not the games. i would also like to use my laptop as a "distortion" type instrument because i play guitar | 22:57 |
| boss_mc | fyn, just boot into recovery mode | 22:57 |
| Demonicdata | now i don't know what i'm looking for | 22:57 |

| Soren1 | if I download files to the desktop using the Ubuntu LiveCD, will they be deleted if I close Ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| jonaskoelker | Soren1: yes, they will | 22:58 |
| Demonicdata | i'm looking for something to spruce up the look,I'm looking for more graphics,maybe widgets,i dunno.What am i looking for a windows manager or a desktop enviroment or what | 22:58 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, you will lose them | 22:58 |
| myxo | Soren1: i can see you =) | 22:58 |
| Soren1 | if I download files to the desktop using the Ubuntu LiveCD, will they be deleted if I close Ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| boss_mc | Soren1, yep | 22:58 |
| Slart | have you tried uninstalling the flash plugin package and just downloading the binary plugin from adobe? then copying it to ~/.mozilla/plugins? | 22:58 |
| iratik | myxo: vst, jackd, look into ubuntu studio as well... | 22:58 |
| Viper550 | Soren1, yeah. | 22:58 |

| phaze74 | Hi. I have 70 perl modules I've built into deb packages for Gutsy using dh-make-perl. I've just deployed new Jaunty servers. Looks like I have to recreate all 70 for Jaunty. :( They're CPAN libs that are not in the distros. I guess I don't really have a question because the reality is that I have to do the work. :( | 22:59 |
| phaze74 | Anyone know a fast way to build 70 perl libs into .debs other than dh-make-perl? | 23:00 |
| darwinwj | Slart, it does work with utube, but a bit jumpy. | 23:00 |
| jrib | phaze74: why don't you contribute them to the official repositories? | 23:00 |

I'm not an idiot , i've gone through no-exageration, hundreds of forum posts and been on google for days... i tried in 9.04, recompiled kernel, drivers etc... then i gave up, switched computers with a fresh nvidia card on another machine with 8.10 ...

| Slart | EugenMayer: hmm.. follow instructions from the linphone people? | 23:04 |

| EugenMayer | IndyGunFreak: or could i simply use the karmic release? | 23:05 |
| myxo | Flannel: SPM seems more suited for experimental downloads | 23:05 |
| EugenMayer | Slart: which is not working? | 23:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | EugenMayer: i gess you could try that if you wanted.. but its still very early in beta.. | 23:05 |
| Viper550 | in most cases it will be a ./configure, then make, then make install as root | 23:05 |

| * doc_brown really appreciates the help from #ubuntu Thanks! | 23:34 | |
| fil_ | ohir: gtk2, i have it | 23:34 |
| ohir | fil_: libgtk is not same as libktk2 nor libgtk+2 | 23:34 |
| Dulak | Anthony_: the -- tells su everything after it is passed to the shell | 23:35 |
| ohir | fil_: if it wants '+' it wants exactly that | 23:35 |
| Demonicdata | hey were do I put downloaded icons or wallpapper etc,were does ubuntu-gnome keep its stuff? | 23:35 |
| fil_ | ohir: thanks, I'll try | 23:35 |
| Anthony_ | Dulak, excellent, thanks for your help, I'm suprised the VirtualBox install doesn't provide a script for this. | 23:36 |
| Elite_Design_Co | i have a problem with my ubuntu 9.04 in the jack audio server (sh: artsshell: not found) | 23:36 |
| VCoolio1 | Demonicdata: icons in ~/.icons, wallpaper where ever you want | 23:36 |
| whileimhere | LOL I should just stick to CDs as I think I have all of them from the 80s | 23:36 |
| Slart | Demonicdata: I put mine in ~/backgrounds or something like that | 23:36 |
| ohir | fil_: and you need to have this lib with -dev (or get source and compile before) | 23:36 |
| Anthony_ | for the purpose, not for editing local.start :) | 23:36 |
| Anthony_ | I mean rc.local | 23:36 |
| Dulak | Anthony_: probably because it's an X program, I dont' know if that will work the way you want or not | 23:36 |
| fil_ | ohir: it works, i had to get install libgtk2 :) THANK YOU | 23:36 |
| VCoolio1 | Demonicdata: if you want the icons to be used in root applications (like Synaptic) as well, they go in /usr/share/icons | 23:36 |
| Robyn | Can anyone tell me how to enable japanese text entry (hiragana/katakana) on 9.04? | 23:36 |
| Demonicdata | So no commen pool of themes/icons etc. | 23:37 |
| Slart | Robyn: perhaps someone in #ubuntu-jp knows.. | 23:37 |
| === customer is now known as linuxman410 | ||
| Robyn | ah, ty | 23:37 |
| Demonicdata | now it says unvalid themes.ugh bbiafm | 23:37 |
| Elite_Design_Co | I have a problem with my ubuntu 9.04 in the jack audio server (sh: artsshell: not found) | 23:37 |
| ohir | fil_: np | 23:37 |
| Slart | Demonicdata: wellm, there are some collections in /usr/share but I would keep them in your home folder.. | 23:37 |
| twiglet | hello, i'm a complete linux noob and am in the process of building a fileserver for my home network, so far everything has gone well thanks to the mighty google but i've run into a slight problem with a 2nd hdd i've formated it with gparted and mounted it with PySDM and it's all gone wonderfully except the drive is showing that it's got ~9gb in use when it's should be blank can anyone enlighten me as to why this is? | 23:38 |
| === fran is now known as Guest32316 | ||
| Dulak | Demonicdata: yeah if it's just for your user, put them under your home dir | 23:39 |
| VCoolio1 | Demonicdata: you can extract and move to ~/.themes, that would be the same as installing / drag and drop in appearance > themes window | 23:39 |
| Anthony_ | Dulak, sorry, the command I meant was VBoxHeadless (no frontend there :)) | 23:39 |
| muse | twiglet: how big is the drive | 23:39 |
| Dulak | Anthony_: cool, didn't even realize you could run it headless, I use vmware myself, got a site license through my company | 23:39 |
| crux000 | Quick question ... is there a way to get ext3 (probably via e2fsprogs?) to report the size it thinks a drive is? | 23:39 |
| muse | twiglet: some of the space is reserved for root | 23:39 |
| twiglet | it's 596gb | 23:39 |
| Anthony_ | Dulak, one note though, it says rc.local is run at the end of each multiuserrunleve, does that mean it'll execute multiple times? | 23:39 |
| twiglet | (it's a raid 5 array) | 23:40 |
| Anthony_ | *multiuser runlevel | 23:40 |
| muse | twiglet: do you want the partition to be used only for storage? | 23:40 |
| Dulak | Anthony_: it means it's the last thing ran whenever you are in a runlevel that allows multiple users to login, basically everything but recovery mode | 23:40 |
| eso | i was just about to ask how i make my webcam work, when i saw the light on it suddenly is on | 23:40 |
| eso | never has been | 23:40 |
| eso | :S | 23:40 |
| eso | anywho | 23:40 |
| twiglet | yes, sorry it's a storage drive only | 23:40 |
| eso | how can i see if it's actually working? | 23:40 |
| === ikaros_ is now known as ikaros | ||
| muse | you can limit the space super user needs | 23:40 |
| System404 | hey guys why when i try to activate effects it says desktop effects could not be enabled | 23:40 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: So fat32 /dev/sda1 2031mb, Primary partition sound right | 23:40 |
| crisnoh | /join #awesome | 23:40 |
| Anthony_ | Dulak, I thought during but you went through several runlevels? | 23:41 |
| eso | seems like Ekiga doesn't find it | 23:41 |
| Dulak | Anthony_: it'll only be ran once per boot, unless you manually change runlevels | 23:41 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: no, you want to make that ext3 | 23:41 |
| Anthony_ | *duuring boot | 23:41 |

| Flannel | gordonjcp: Eh? | 23:41 |
| muse | twiglet: sudo tune2fs -m1 /dev/yourdev | 23:41 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: joined, spammed a channel | 23:41 |
| LjL | gordonjcp: that might be a bit...? he might have just done it by mistake | 23:41 |
| Dulak | Anthony_: runlevels 2 3 4 5 are multiuser, 0, 1, 6 are not | 23:41 |
| * twiglet gives it a go | 23:41 | |
| DBO | crisnoh, please dont advertise other channels here | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | LjL: maybe | 23:42 |
| System404 | hey guys why when i try to activate effects it says desktop effects could not be enabled | 23:42 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: Likely a typo. It happens all the time. | 23:42 |
| Slart | System404: what graphics card are you using? | 23:42 |
| System404 | intel | 23:42 |

| EugenMayer | anybody using linphone with ubuntu+gnome? Can i search contacts? | 23:42 |
| System404 | i had it working before cant member how but i screwed up my ubuntu so have a fresh install now gta do everything again arghhhh | 23:42 |
| Robyn | #ubuntu-jp is dead, Slart. Anything else I can try? | 23:42 |
| Slart | System404: mm.. there was some problems with intel and jaunty.. not sure if that is what's affecting you | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: right after joining a channel, within a few seconds? Possibly... o_O | 23:42 |
| System404 | it was working before | 23:42 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: Yeah, it happens all the time | 23:43 |
| muse | twiglet: you can find what your hd is by running this `sudo lshw -c disk` | 23:43 |
| System404 | but fresh install and cant member how we got it working | 23:43 |
| DBO | gordonjcp, please at least inform the other person what they did wrong before calling !ops... really simply saying "hey, can you not spam channel advertisments" is not difficult =P | 23:43 |
| LjL | gordonjcp: quite possibly, since one would generally be joining several channels in a row when they connect | 23:43 |
| System404 | i have installed compiz | 23:43 |
| crux000 | @$#$#@$#@$#@$#@ | 23:43 |
| System404 | if that helps | 23:43 |
| crux000 | gah! | 23:43 |
| twiglet | ah, thats kinda worked it's now only using 6gb | 23:43 |
| Slart | Robyn: not really, no.. you might ask in #ubuntu-cn, the chinese channel.. but I'm not sure if they will know either | 23:43 |

| bin10101 | i have two ethernet interfaces while installing ubuntu 9.04 server on virtualbox...during the install it asked which was the main one, i picked eth0. Now that I am using the VM i no longer have eth0 and eth1, but I have eth0 which works fine and virbr0. Virbr0 does not work at all. in /etc/network/interfaces there are only eth0 and lo....what is going on? Should I add eth1 or should I add virbr0 to the interfaces file? or what? | 23:44 |
| === eddie is now known as Guest46057 | ||
| muse | twiglet: what that command did was limit the % that root reserves from 5% to 1% | 23:44 |
| System404 | slart any ideas | 23:44 |
| muse | twiglet: I don't recommend going any lower | 23:44 |
| muse | than 1% that is | 23:44 |

| Slart | !intel | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 23:45 |
| Slart | ahh | 23:45 |

| muse | np | 23:45 |
| twiglet | yes | 23:45 |

| twiglet | i'm sure i'll be back at some point | 23:45 |
| twiglet | this is the first times i've used linux | 23:45 |

| sere | what is the best way to give root access to a ntfs-3g partition in the fstab? | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | twiglet: bah | 23:46 |
| twiglet | but i think i have the basics down | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | twiglet: you think that's odd, you just try getting your head around Windows coming from a Unix background | 23:46 |
| twiglet | heh, i can imagine | 23:46 |
| muse | haha | 23:46 |
| System404 | Slart it says i should update to latest kernal how do i do that | 23:46 |
| System404 | current kernal ends in 11 latest i fink ends in 12 | 23:47 |
| twiglet | i finally got annoyed enough with windows to give linux a go on me server | 23:47 |

| twiglet | tho i'll have hard time giving it up as i need my games ;) | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | twiglet: cool, what are you using the server for? | 23:47 |
| rogue780 | !lamp | 23:47 |
| ubottu | 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+) | 23:47 |
| twiglet | lol, many many years now | 23:47 |
| CraiZE | I went to Administration - Hardware drivers, and enabled it, restarted, yet its still not activated | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | twiglet: depending on what games you have, you may either find native versions or be able to run them in Wine | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | twiglet: or, of course, keep a Windows partition about | 23:48 |
| CraiZE | would anyone be so kind and help me out, or tell me how to kill the X-Server? | 23:48 |
| sonartica | It's easy | 23:48 |
| twiglet | just for serving files across my home network, mianly video/music to some htpcs and possibly as a test webserver | 23:48 |
| CraiZE | as i downloaded the driver manually, and it doesnt want X server to be running | 23:48 |
| sonartica | Just press ctrl + alt + backspace | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | CraiZE: /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 23:49 |
| mobi-sheep | CraiZE: Illogical. One does not kill the other. | 23:49 |
| gordonjcp | sonartica: that doesn't work in recent versions of xorg | 23:49 |
| CraiZE | thanks goose | 23:49 |
| CraiZE | gordonjcp | 23:49 |
| mobi-sheep | !dontzap | CraiZE | 23:49 |
| ubottu | CraiZE: 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. | 23:49 |
| gordonjcp | twiglet: looked at mythtv yet? | 23:49 |
| goose | lol. you're welcome CraiZE :p | 23:49 |

| Slart | Here's something to think about.. I have a headless server sitting in my closet.. every now and then I have to restart it.. now.. when I restart it I sometimes notice that it doesn't boot all the way (I can't ssh to it).. and I would like to know if it's checking a disk, showing some error or something.. any suggestions on how to do that? I've already managed to route some info to the internal speaker (using espeak) but that doesn't work during boot | 23:50 |

| hacktolive | hi guys, can anyone tell me if it is dangerous to do "chmod a+x" to a file instead of "chmod +x"? I know "a" stands for "all users". the problem is that someone said this was a security risk with "App Runner": http://tinyurl.com/olprwn (is this really a security problem?) | 23:53 |

| DumbDude | hi | 23:55 |
| muse | Slart: I think there is a startup log that gets filled in as you boot up, although I am not 100% sure if it was on ubuntu? You could run a script that sent the log to your pc with tft at regular intervals. | 23:55 |
| System404 | how to add restricted repo | 23:56 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: I'll be able to plug this into my main computer here and pull files/put files on the drive correct? | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | should do, yes | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | Zephryos: you'll have crazyness like your homedir will mount as /media/disk/home/zephyros or some such | 23:58 |
| Zephryos | gordonjcp: What o.o;;; oooo ok on ubuntu not vista | 23:59 |
| hskill | what's a good twitter client for ubuntu? | 23:59 |
