| moseti | bye | 00:00 |

| innovate2000 | secret901: do it first from your pakage mgr - search for "linux-image" - you can safely "request removal" for all pkgs up to the current version and the previous version (always safe to keep prev version). After applying changes - in terminal run "sudo apt-get autoremove" | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: Hmm.. sounds like some messed up settings.. I can always controll them via the keyboard infull screen.. I think theres a setting to show the controlls in fullscreen also in the window | 00:00 |
| secret901 | innovate2000: I can't do that because it can't remove that package. | 00:00 |
| innovate2000 | that usually fixes me right up | 00:00 |
| ralmar | Dr_Willis, how? with firefox under wine? | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: theres several check box's in the vlc inteface settings | 00:01 |
| secret901 | innovate2000: that package doesn't exist in my system. | 00:01 |
| unr3a1 | alright | 00:01 |
| unr3a1 | thanks for the info | 00:01 |
| unr3a1 | but I have to go | 00:01 |
| unr3a1 | later | 00:01 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Zeph I missed the question ? | 00:01 |
| innovate2000 | secret901 - ok then - well another issue altogether | 00:01 |
| === Kernel is now known as Wicked | ||
| innovate2000 | did you/someone remove it manually? | 00:01 |
| d0t | skyl, please ssh if you can on port 443 let's see if it's open | 00:02 |
| d0t | if not i give up.. | 00:02 |
| secret901 | innovate2000: not that I'm aware of. this problem came up after I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 | 00:02 |
| affdklfsjsdf | hi | 00:02 |
| raylu | d0t: 443 is traditionally the https port | 00:02 |
| gunnarahlberg | can cat trap all keyboard input so I understand where my < is doing wrong? it sends a pause instead of the < key | 00:02 |
| linny | d0t:ive heard webmin can be helpful for fixing broken ssh configs with a gui | 00:03 |
| raylu | gunnarahlberg: no, but xev can | 00:03 |
| raylu | !webmin | linny | 00:03 |
| ubottu | linny: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 00:03 |
| skyl | d0t I don't know your ip or anything | 00:03 |
| d0t | raylu, yeah i know but my university didn't disable this port and that's how i can connect to my computer with VNC | 00:03 |
| innovate2000 | In that case (use at your own risk) I usually install the pkg it is crying for - and then use the pkg mgr to remove it. With linux-image(s) - this can be tricky as if the pkg is too old or newer than your current you will likely be unlucky | 00:03 |
| secret901 | innovate2000: I tried that, but I can't find a deb of it online. | 00:03 |
| henux | VCoolio1: okay thanks, i managed to change the icon using custom icon theme | 00:03 |
| B3rz3rk3r | dot is from South Africa | 00:03 |
| === homer is now known as Guest79656 | ||
| skyl | d0t but that might yield unexpected behavior as that is the ssl http port usually | 00:04 |
| Ampelbein | d0t: then you should tell sshd to listen to port 443, not 22. | 00:04 |
| VCoolio1 | henux: what is the right icon? | 00:04 |
| gunnarahlberg | raylu thats it, thanks | 00:04 |
| henux | VCoolio1: start-here | 00:04 |
| skyl | I like to choose a different port altogether, let me see if I can get you a resource | 00:04 |
| henux | obviously :) | 00:04 |
| goose | hey guys... I kinda did something bad | 00:04 |
| d0t | Ampelbein, i just did i edited sshd_config and restarted the service | 00:04 |
| B3rz3rk3r | d0t, UCT? | 00:04 |
| VCoolio1 | henux: right, who would've guessed | 00:04 |
| d0t | B3rz3rk3r, UJ :) | 00:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | goose: the cops are on the way | 00:05 |
| Ampelbein | d0t: what does netstat -l look like now? | 00:05 |
| henux | yeah lol | 00:05 |
| innovate2000 | can you try the "sudo apt-get autoremove" anyway? it is likely that dkms (if it is installed - I think newer Ubuntu's install it by default (can someone confirm?)) was not told that it is safe to unload pkgs/pkg dependecies | 00:05 |
| goose | goose@goose-desktop:/media/disk/Music$ rm -rf * | 00:05 |
| goose | I thought I was in a different dir | 00:05 |

| Paddy_EIRE | goose: you should be more careful and always keep a backup otherwise you are asking for it | 00:06 |

| d0t | B3rz3rk3r, are you from SA ? | 00:06 |
| innovate2000 | secret901: if it is a linux image - I'm not sure I'd go the deb route - I'd go the apt-get route | 00:06 |
| eseven73 | photorec is good (dont let the name photo fool you, it does a lot more than pics) | 00:06 |
| Ampelbein | d0t: that looks ok. | 00:06 |

| Paddy_EIRE | binMonkey: also try 'man radeon' | 00:15 |

| pH | what I need is the following: im using awk -F'>' '/<(screen_name|text)>/ { print $2: }' friends_timeline.xml | cut -d'<' -f1, to search in a XML two strings (<screen_name> and <text>), remove the <> and </> and print that screens. But the problem, is that there's many lines with <screen_name> and <text>, so, I just need to break a line before it prints the text that is inside the <screen_name> XML stuff, in order to organize the printed strings from my XML | 00:32 |
| assem | trying to access my SD card on my pocketpc when i plug in (through USB) to desktop. this used to be found as mass storage device in 8.10, but now it doesn't appear. what can i do? | 00:32 |
| raylu | tzanger: the last time i had that problem i went to packages.ubuntu.com and downloaded the dependencies. but i agree, it's quite a problem | 00:33 |
| macd | After install machine will not boot from disk, Error: GRUB Loading stage1.5. /n GRUB loading, please wait... Ideas? | 00:33 |
| tzanger | raylu: yeah apt-cache show | grep Depends is a good start | 00:33 |
| pH | raylu: its clearly now? | 00:33 |

| pH | ok, :) | 00:36 |
| mrwes | !dontzap | RedSocrates | 00:37 |
| ubottu | RedSocrates: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 00:37 |
| RedSocrates | mrwes: But the problem is that "the combination Alt+SysRq+K" does not work. | 00:37 |

| pH | its working, Ampelbein? | 00:39 |
| Ampelbein | pH: it pairs text and screen_name and adds line break | 00:39 |
| Ampelbein | pH: you could check if that's the desired output | 00:40 |
| pH | im checking | 00:40 |
| Ampelbein | Kruger: that means you don't have a 3d-enabled graphics driver installed and running. | 00:41 |

| Kruger | what do I do if my terminal window is frozen and won't let me type anything in it? | 00:43 |
| RedSocrates | Does anyone know how to get Alt+SysRq+K to function in Jaunty? It should kill the X server, but it doesn't. | 00:43 |
| Kruger | I typed "compiz" and it blew up | 00:43 |
| binrapt | Should USB WLAN devices show up in the Ubuntu Network Admin when you boot live? | 00:43 |
| Ampelbein | Kruger: yeah, that happens if you try running another window manager and don't implement a fallback if the new one doesn't start up correctly. | 00:44 |
| Kruger | my terminal window is forzen and all white and stuck to the upper left hand corner of my screen | 00:44 |

| hrdo | hi people... any python scripters who develop their own CLI tools here? | 00:44 |
| Ampelbein | Kruger: no, you need to restart a window manager. why did you want to run compiz from the terminal anyway? | 00:45 |
| Kruger | ampelbein some one on a forum said to type it in | 00:45 |
| Kruger | Ampelbein, whats the way to implement the fall back/ | 00:45 |
| boss_mc | Kruger, start another terminal and run metacity --replace | 00:45 |
| Kruger | it doesn't let me type anything when I start a new terminal window | 00:46 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: and when you test, use compiz --replace | 00:46 |
| Ampelbein | Kruger: <ctrl>-<alt>-<F1>, login to console, 'metacity --display=:0 --replace' | 00:46 |
| Kruger | boss_mc: k and what does --replace mean exactly | 00:46 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: it tells the new window manager to close down the old window manager before it loads | 00:47 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: compiz should fall back to metacity if it fails to load | 00:47 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: but in your case it seems to have failed and just killed your wm | 00:48 |
| Kruger | hmm | 00:48 |
| Kruger | I just did that | 00:48 |
| Kruger | now how do I get out of this ctrl alt f1 screen | 00:48 |
| nigtv | Hey, stupid question, supposing I have a m4v file, and I want to put it onto a dvd-r that can be read in a DVD player (which can read dvd-r's), I would have to convert it to another format before putting it into an iso, right? | 00:48 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: ctrl+alt+f7 | 00:48 |
| Kruger | thank you, that fixed it ambelbien | 00:49 |
| boss_mc | Ampelbein: nice trick, I've had that problem before... that's a nice solution | 00:49 |
| nigtv | I'm having trouble with it, I was thinking that any video had to me either mjpeg (or something like that, I forget) or mpeg2 in order to play in a dvd player | 00:49 |
| nigtv | mjpeg, or something like that, being jpeg with motion | 00:50 |
| logankoester | nigtv: Well, m4v is just a container. You need to convert it to MPEG-II and stuff | 00:50 |
| geirha | nigtv: devede converts "any" format into a dvd iso | 00:50 |
| boss_mc | geirha: strong claim | 00:50 |
| logankoester | I don't know what people recommend for that here but I believe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder can do the job | 00:50 |
| geirha | boss_mc: I put any in quotes | 00:50 |
| nigtv | logankoester: so supposing I got it converted to an mpeg-II (which I do), I then have to make just an iso, or a "dvd-iso"? | 00:50 |
| boss_mc | geirha: I got that... a video editor that converts any (no quotes) movie to dvd would be totally ace | 00:51 |
| nigtv | ive burned alot of dvds, just never had to play them on a dvd player heh, theyre great for data storage though | 00:51 |
| nigtv | geirha: im checkin in out | 00:51 |
| logankoester | nigtv: I honestly don't think I've ever encoded a video dvd on linux, sorry | 00:51 |

| === william is now known as Guest42773 | ||
| nigtv | see there are some programs for it, but theyre clunky and only have GUI's | 00:52 |
| nigtv | such as mandvd, which is atrocious (no idea how to spell) | 00:52 |
| nigtv | geirha: wow devede looks small, is it a cli? | 00:53 |
| Kruger | why are there some parameters that look like -w or -l and others that are --replace | 00:53 |
| Kruger | - or two --'s | 00:53 |
| dimedo | hi, any ideas why video playback is flawed after updating to jaunty? in totem sound and video is going out of sync, in mplayer and vlc both are stuttering. it's a x86_64 (amd64) system, a lenovo x301 with an intel gma x4500hd gpu | 00:53 |
| boss_mc | geirha: my music player plays any audio format... | 00:53 |
| geirha | nigtv: it's a gui frontend for mencoder and dvdauthor basicly | 00:53 |
| dimedo | also, remote desktop viewer at first gives me a picture, but doesn't update anymore afterwards. the input is received in the target system but there seems to be no response | 00:53 |
| nigtv | oh | 00:53 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: one - for single letter arguments, -- for words (although that's not universally true) | 00:54 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: use man <program> to see it's arguments | 00:54 |
| nigtv | see I was using ffmpeg before, mainly for just video and sound converting, because i was sort of comfortable with it, but I've never had to make a dvd with it before, and the documentation is like a spaghetti library if you know what I mean | 00:54 |
| geirha | nigtv: mencoder to convert it into a mpeg2 usable for dvd video, dvdauthor to create the directory structure and vcdimager to make an iso of it | 00:54 |
| nigtv | geirha: thanks, I'm not big on gui's, ill just use those :D | 00:55 |
| Kruger | how do I exit this man <program> page | 00:56 |
| boobsbr | howdy | 00:56 |
| boss_mc | Kruger: q | 00:56 |
| nigtv | i like cli's because I can turn the contrast very high, and the brightness low, which makes the screen much easier to read, even at higher reso's, but not with anything graphical, it makes stuff in gui's bleed and halo | 00:56 |
| geirha | nigtv: No wait, growisofs to make an iso of it. vcdimager just makes *vcd images | 00:56 |
| nigtv | geirha: is it just an iso format, or a dvd-iso format, do you know? | 00:56 |
| geirha | nigtv: Ah, well, iso was a bit incorrect. Video DVDs uses the udf filesystem, not iso9660 | 00:57 |

| mib_0uimd06n | can anyone tell me a wireless notebook card that is widely available and works right out of the box with 9.04? | 01:16 |
| Ampelbein | Arcitens: rename your ~/.config/menus file and try starting alacarte again. something screwed up your menu... | 01:17 |
| RHorse | mib_0uimd06n dwl-g630 and dwl-g650 have worked for me | 01:17 |
| Arcitens | Ampelbein: which file in ~/.config/menus ? | 01:17 |
| Bob_Dole | mib_0uimd06n, what interface? There's 3 common ones | 01:17 |
| Ampelbein | Arcitens: the complete folder | 01:17 |
| eross | does pulseaudio need to run in background, what is it for? | 01:19 |
| Ampelbein | eross: it's the soundserver used. | 01:19 |
| Ampelbein | !pulse | eross | 01:19 |
| ubottu | eross: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 01:19 |
| eshaase | how come jaunty doesn't have propriatary drivers for my 3d card when it did in hardY? | 01:19 |
| eross | oh so i can stream it to another device? | 01:20 |
| mib_0uimd06n | ummm ... I guess gnome is what installs with the Ubuntu 9.04 I dl'd from the site | 01:20 |
| syntax\ | can i add a wireless connection manually via command line? | 01:20 |
| Bob_Dole | SOme older cards were dropped | 01:20 |
| Kruger | eshaase: hah I'm working on that right now | 01:20 |
| Bob_Dole | Nvidia and ATI dropped support in latest drivers, and latest drivers are the only thing working in the latest Xorg, if memory serves | 01:20 |
| Kruger | eshaase:but juanty found my card and is downloading the driver for it now | 01:20 |
| Ampelbein | eross: that's one purpose, yes. | 01:21 |
| eross | thanks | 01:21 |
| eshaase | Kruger: working on what? what do you mean? | 01:21 |
| Kruger | eshaase: oh just getting the drivers for my card installed in jaunty | 01:22 |
| sweetlorenzo | where the gals at | 01:22 |
| eshaase | Kruger: how'd ya do it? | 01:22 |
| eshaase | Kruger: my xorg.conf is really plain too =( | 01:22 |
| mib_0uimd06n | hm! the dwl-g650 is pretty cheap, too! | 01:23 |
| Bob_Dole | sweetlorenzo, No women on the internets, sadly. | 01:23 |
| Ampelbein | sweetlorenzo: can you rephrase your question? | 01:23 |
| Kruger | eshaase: I haven't done it yet. I just installed something that System> Administration > Harware Drivers found | 01:24 |
| Kruger | but it doesn't seem to be working | 01:24 |
| eshaase | Kruger: oh, so it was found for you | 01:24 |

| techteen | I'm having issues with the resolution of my new monitor, if someone is willing to spare a moment | 01:24 |
| Zelfje | where does the driver nostalgia go :P | 01:24 |
| Kruger | my last step will be finding the drivers myself and then trying to install them. I wonder if you need a wrapper or something with that | 01:24 |
| focus | hello im a some what experienced ubuntu user but i cant seem to get the internet to work one of my computers | 01:25 |
| techteen | Why can't I get 1920x1080 res out? | 01:25 |
| focus | i can reach the local network and my router but not my internet | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | ryanprior: your stil here, so I didn't suggest you tried a differnet PCI slot by the way | 01:25 |
| Ampelbein | focus: you got your own internet? that's cool. seriously: what is not working? are the routes set correctly? can you connect directly using ip-addresses? | 01:26 |
| ryanprior | sebsebseb: Oh, maybe somebody else did. >.> | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | ryanprior: yep someone else, wireless isn't really my thing anyway, since I am hardwired :) | 01:27 |
| focus | ampelbein: :P point taken, everythign is set right and i have tried it as auto dhcp and tried setting everything to static | 01:27 |
| === sinistrad is now known as ki4cgp | ||
| sebsebseb | focus: if it's hardwired ethernet should just work, if wireless well you can get issues. I can't really help you, so I am just saying here | 01:28 |
| focus | ampelbein: i just cant seam to ping the internet | 01:28 |
| Kruger | I feel like a wireless expert after 3 days of trying to get mine to work lol | 01:28 |
| Kruger | there's a cool channel on this server that helps with wireless connections | 01:28 |
| focus | any one any ideas why i cant ping out side of my network | 01:28 |
| Ampelbein | focus: please pastebin the output of 'route' | 01:28 |
| techteen | I can't get 1080p out in Ubuntu | 01:28 |
| focus | ampelbein: everything is right | 01:29 |
| ki4cgp | Hi, I hosed my ownership of all files on system. Is there a utility that would chown at least the system files to their proper owner/groups? | 01:30 |

| SOG | um... I got a question related to resolution... the PC I am using have 1024 x 480 screen, so it's height is very short, so whenever I open a window, I can't see anything more than 480 height, anyone know any solutions ? | 01:30 |
| Ampelbein | focus: oh, ok then. | 01:30 |
| inaequitas | hello world. i've been looking for linux-image-debug for 9.04 [2.6.28-11] but nowhere to be found. forums hint that it's altogether missing. anybody have any info on when one would be available, or a workaround? [besides recompiling the kernel] | 01:31 |
| focus | ampelbein: thats why im so comfused | 01:31 |
| mediaBox | Hey- How do I make sure my computer NEVER puts its display to sleep or suspends? I have "never" selected in power management, but it seems to blank out the display from time to time. I have an nVidia card if it matters | 01:31 |
| focus | ampelbein: confused | 01:31 |
| Ampelbein | focus: although i think if you can't reach servers in the internet, there is something wrong. but obviously it's all ok and your internet is just broken ;-) | 01:31 |
| focus | ampelbein: :( i spent all week setting up computers at work like this | 01:32 |
| TheDominantOne | sup everyone | 01:32 |
| calcperson | Is Ubuntu's upgrade process from one version to another really stable and usable? I currently use Fedora, and whenever I upgrade to a new version, applications don't work for random reasons, dependencies are missing, etc. | 01:32 |
| focus | ampelbein: the only difference is that its a labtop | 01:32 |
| techteen | Hey, everyone. How do I get a 1920x1080 resolution out to my monitor? | 01:32 |
| RHorse | mediaBox use xset | 01:32 |
| calcperson | and I end up just having to do a clean install every time | 01:32 |
| mediaBox | RHorse: please advise | 01:33 |
| focus | calcperson: i had no problems and i scrwed up the upgrade in the middle | 01:33 |
| Ampelbein | calcperson: if you follow the standard upgrade-path, no problems are to be expected. | 01:33 |
| SOG | techteen: go ahead and edit the XOrg file | 01:33 |
| unop_ | calcperson, it used to be quite an issue with older versions of ubuntu .. not so much anymore tho a few minor nags persist | 01:33 |
| calcperson | Oh, OK, thanks, that's good | 01:34 |
| MeXTux | I'm trying to configure a DHCP server. Does anybody know what does "Dynamic BOOTP" mean?? | 01:34 |
| calcperson | Also, if I have a third-party repository with Fedora RPMs, is there any convenient way I can still use it on Ubuntu? | 01:34 |
| TheDominantOne | MexTux: what tutorial are you following | 01:35 |
| RHorse | mediaBox use 'xset s off' and 'xset -dpms' commands | 01:35 |
| mediaBox | RHorse: Thanks. How do I make these permanent, and why does the built in power management not work correctly? | 01:35 |
| vbgunz | does anyone know why saving a file in vim can cause vim to go unresponsive for about 6 or 7 seconds? | 01:35 |
| unop_ | MeXTux, BOOTP was(is?) a legacy protocol similar to DHCP in which address assignments were static (i.e. you had to map individual mac addresses to IP addresses, etc) .. so my guess here is this option provides some dynamic aspect to BOOTP | 01:36 |
| Ampelbein | MeXTux: it's the address-range assigned to bootp clients. | 01:36 |
| vbgunz | this never happened before 9.04 :( | 01:36 |
| calcperson | I think there's "alien" or something like that to convert individual RPM packages to DEB packages, but converting each RPM individually and its dependencies isn't that convenient | 01:36 |
| RHorse | mediaBox I put them in my window manager's startup file. But you can use cron or type them at a terminal | 01:36 |
| mediaBox | RHorse: can you explain the startup file method? Using Gnome, Ubuntu 9.04 | 01:37 |
| calcperson | I was hoping maybe I could just use the fedora repo like a regular ubuntu repo using apt-get or something | 01:37 |
| Kruger | can some one please check this pastebin and tell me if it looks good: http://www.pastebin.ca/1434512 | 01:37 |
| MeXTux | I found a tutorial in this page: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/401460-kiwi-ltsp.html but it is for openSUSE. I'm a newbie and started to read that one | 01:37 |
| Kruger | thanks | 01:37 |
| mediaBox | RHorse: Think I got it.. System-->Preferences-->Startup Applications, just add two entries with those commanbd? | 01:38 |
| thiebaude1 | Kruger: you running ubuntu 64 bit | 01:38 |
| fudgecake | Okay, i've had problems before but is it possible to run ubuntu even with my rubbish video card (sis760, i've never heard of it before either). | 01:38 |
| fudgecake | it was all blury before | 01:38 |
| syntax\ | can i add a wireless connection manually via command line? | 01:38 |
| Kruger | thiebaude1: I don't think so | 01:38 |
| Kruger | thiebaude: but I think my chip is 64bit | 01:38 |
| thiebaude1 | Kruger: ok, just wondering | 01:39 |
| Ampelbein | fudgecake: should work, but no desktop effects. | 01:39 |
| RHorse | mediaBox I would put an & after them so they don't hang your startup sequence. Hopefully it will work. If not, do a cron job. | 01:39 |
| Kruger | thiebaude: did you read my pastebin? | 01:39 |
| Kruger | http://www.pastebin.ca/1434512 | 01:39 |

| ki4cgp | Hi, I hosed my ownership of all files on system. Is there a utility that would chown at least the system files back to their proper owner:group? I'm thinking a reinstall will be in order, but I figured I'd throw this out to see if anyone had a good idea on it | 01:39 |
| thiebaude1 | Kruger: are you having graphic problems? | 01:40 |
| Kruger | yes | 01:40 |
| Kruger | can't enable effects | 01:40 |

| Kruger | how do you check if your drivers are working for your gcard? | 01:40 |
| RHorse | mediaBox 2 entries on two line each with trialing & | 01:40 |
| thiebaude1 | Kruger: your pastebin looks normal | 01:41 |

| Kruger | Anyone know how to turn off system beeps when I restart and turn my computer off? | 01:42 |
| mediaBox | RHorse: I wrote a bash script to do this. WHere is the autostart directrory in Gnome? | 01:42 |
| Ampelbein | ki4cgp: do a reinstall. it's quicker than manually fixing all the permissions by hand. | 01:43 |
| unop_ | axscode, can (and did) you set the baud rate and error control on minicom ? | 01:43 |
| thiebaude1 | Kruger: thats one i'll like to know too | 01:43 |

| thiebaude1 | hi seb | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: apparnatlly it also needs to be run for quite some time, before any proper useful results | 01:44 |
| ki4cgp | Ampelbein, thanks. I was fearful of that. its a 500 gig that is full, so I'm scrambling to find a way to offload it so I don't have to repartition/move data. Oh well. If I must, then I must. | 01:44 |
| axscode | any help unop_? | 01:44 |

| Kruger | its weird starting Ubuntu and not having a million start up programs load like windows does | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: :) | 01:45 |
| thiebaude1 | how do you turn off notifications? | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: you'll get used to it | 01:45 |
| Ampelbein | ki4cgp: lessons learned: 1. don't mix system-partition with data-partition. 2. don't chown -R / | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: indeed the amount of rubbish that wants to load up with most Windows installs | 01:45 |
| unop_ | axscode, 9600bps, 8data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits and no flow control | 01:45 |
| Ampelbein | ki4cgp: ;-) | 01:45 |
| axscode | exactly the same unop | 01:46 |
| ki4cgp | kruger, wait until you've been on ubuntu for a while and then fire up windows for some reason. You'll get aggravated quickly | 01:46 |
| Ampelbein | ki4cgp: i recommend to all my clients to use a seperate /boot, /home, /var and / partition. | 01:46 |
| Kruger | ki4cgp: yea its nice. actually my windows starts really slow for even windows. like I'll wait at the splash screen for literally 10 minutes sometimes | 01:47 |
| Kruger | and its not after an update tha tI know of its just random | 01:47 |
| wots | s | 01:47 |
| ki4cgp | Ampelbein, Yes. I made the mistake when I chown'ed a dir instead of -R ./* and left off the "." | 01:47 |
| wots | x / okay | 01:47 |
| wots | "." ;) | 01:47 |
| wots | i made "THE MISTAKE" too ;) | 01:48 |
| ki4cgp | Ampelbein, which left me with /* | 01:48 |
| Mac | Hello/ | 01:48 |
| Ampelbein | ki4cgp: right. i guess next time you will double-check before hitting <enter> *g* | 01:48 |

| ki4cgp | Ampelbein, lol, not quite. I did this once before | 01:48 |

| Sarai | anybody here really experienced with Wubi? | 01:49 |
| Ampelbein | Mac: just ask, we won't bite. at least, most of us don't. | 01:49 |
| thiebaude1 | Mac, ok lets see if we can help | 01:49 |
| * Sarai does bite, actually | 01:49 | |
| sebsebseb | Sarai: maybe some, but Wubi is usauly not a good idea, because of weird issues that can happen | 01:49 |
| Mac | 1000 questions. lol sorry | 01:49 |
| Mac | What anti-virus? | 01:49 |
| Sarai | sebsebseb: mind if I private message, it's a long story | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: you don't need one | 01:49 |
| thiebaude1 | Sarai: i've used wubi before | 01:50 |
| Mac | really? | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: at this time | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: yes really | 01:50 |
| Mac | cool | 01:50 |
| thiebaude1 | sebsebseb: yea, you are right about wubi | 01:50 |
| ki4cgp | Anyhow. Thanks friends. Now off to see how I can get this all sorted out. | 01:50 |
| Mac | ok, How do I get it to see my network printer? | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: and the ones that exist basically only scan for Windows viruses, which won't infect Ubuntu or any other OS that insn't Windows, ( with maybe the exception of ReactOS which will become an open source clone/version of Windows) | 01:50 |
| ki4cgp | Mac, the only reason you might want an AV is if you are concerned for other computers on your network. | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | !virus | Mac | 01:51 |
| ubottu | Mac: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:51 |
| Kruger | I wonder if linux would get more viruses if it were more popular | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: you may have to configure your network printer, which won't be that easy | 01:51 |
| thiebaude1 | Kruger: i dont think so | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: maybe, but would still have to have users installing them themselves | 01:51 |
| Ampelbein | ki4cgp: use live-cd to move data on external hd (or anywhere else), then reinstall keeping data and system separate. | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: read the link above that the bot gave | 01:51 |
| Kruger | sebsebseb: like in vista | 01:51 |
| Bob_Dole | Linux only needs an AV if you have WINE installed, and running a lot of suspicious software (or using a windows web browser, like me .-.) | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: no not like Vista | 01:52 |
| wots | shit ;) | 01:52 |
| wots | holys1t | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: can get malware installed pretty easilly in Vista even with it's new type of default account | 01:52 |
| Kruger | k my gcard works now. :) | 01:52 |
| Kruger | now I can play :) | 01:52 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Sarai | Okay, here's the thing, then. I've been working on this jaunty bug that has come up, causing the default keyboard to spontaneously be reset to the "af" layout. The fix involves changing it back in the "/etc/default/console-setup" file during a live cd session. A guy has asked me for help in doing this, but he's using wubi and I'm not sure how to access that file, either from a live cd or... | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: Windows security, well there isn't much of that, and they know how to get round it when it comes to malicious programs. | 01:52 |
| Sarai | ...windows. Any ideas? | 01:52 |
| ki4cgp | Ampelbein, Yep, used a livecd to restore root to my entire drive, and then set users to proper home dirs | 01:52 |
| Kruger | is there a common compiz tutorial you link to all the nubs like me? | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | !compiz | Kruger | 01:53 |

| sebsebseb | pembrokepuppy: hi | 01:53 |

| Silo | 56K conexant hfc modem fails to initialize under ubuntu... | 01:53 |
| pembrokepuppy | I had a question before my internet crashed, how do I wipe the settings for auto start on ubuntu, | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: yeah, but really no closed source is better, because it's closed source :d :) | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | !freedom | Kruger | 01:54 |
| ubottu | Kruger: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 01:54 |
| Gourlis | How can I open a port on ubuntu ? Or see what ports are open ? | 01:54 |
| ki4cgp | Ampelbein, I have my desktop back and files. Most things are OK, but stuff like networking is still botched. I can't get sudo from within desktop env. I have no problems with command line, so I'm fine there too. | 01:54 |
| pembrokepuppy | it's opening pidgin and smb4k each time i boot | 01:54 |
| pembrokepuppy | but I don't want it too | 01:54 |
| Sarai | Anyone? At least ideas on where I could look or people I could ask? | 01:54 |
| Animagladius | Hey guys | 01:55 |
| pembrokepuppy | I have checked the preferences startup programs but it's uncheck | 01:55 |
| Mac | can't copy and paste from here lol | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: that's not as in price. free as in open code | 01:55 |
| Ampelbein | ki4cgp: yeah, those are the common side-effects. | 01:55 |
| thiebaude1 | pembrokepuppy: preferences>startup applications | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | Animagladius: hi | 01:55 |
| Silo | anyone able to use dialup with hardware pci modem? | 01:55 |
| ki4cgp | Gourlis, you can open a terminal and type "netstat -a" which will give you a long list of all the ports/connections on your system | 01:55 |
| Animagladius | I got this MEDION pen tablet today... I've been looking for a handwriting recognition tool, but can't find anything adequate... Do you maybe have an idea? I've been googling and researching for hours now... :( | 01:55 |
| pembrokepuppy | thiebaude1 thanks tried that but programs are still opening, even worse each time I boot up it adds another maximum process | 01:56 |
| Gourlis | ki4cgp, can I open a port for uTorrent ? | 01:56 |
| pembrokepuppy | there's like six running now | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | !dialup | Silo | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Silo: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 01:56 |
| Mac | How do I do something as simple as change my desktop background (I am trying as I type this) | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: like Windows | 01:56 |
| Animagladius | lol | 01:56 |
| syntax\ | can i add and configure a wireless connection without network-manager? | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: right click on desktop and change it | 01:56 |
| ki4cgp | Gourlis, most likely ubuntu isn't stopping you from using that port unless you have a firewall running | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: however on a clean install you won't get many to choose from | 01:57 |
| Bob_Dole | I only have issues with ports from my DSL Modem/Router. | 01:57 |
| danielrmt1 | Mac: right click desktop, "change wallpaper"; or system > preferences > appearence | 01:57 |

| Animagladius | <Mac> lol thanks. never tried right clicking <<< lolsome | 01:57 |
| pembrokepuppy | every time I boot a file manager window opens | 01:58 |
| aaditya | i pressed Alt+Sysrq+R to switch my keyboard to the raw mode. How can I undo it? | 01:58 |
| pembrokepuppy | as does the chat program and network manager | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: ok you want something Windows gives better? Since Mac i'll say, it actsaully comes with quite a few nice backgrounds unlike Ubuntu, but others can be got in the repo and from sites anyway | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: gives better? does better | 01:58 |
| vbgunz | does anyone know why saving a file in vim can cause vim to go unresponsive for about 6 or 7 seconds? | 01:58 |
| vbgunz | this never happened before 9.04 :( | 01:58 |

| Animagladius | Wow, now this channel here is being used as a pure support channel for the whole world, as it seems...? | 01:58 |
| mib_9rzy23 | hi | 01:58 |
| thiebaude1 | then options | 01:58 |
| aaditya | pembrokepuppy: you probably set your session to remember what you left when you logged out. So the same things open when you return.. | 01:59 |
| bluefox83 | Animagladius, just the english speaking part | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: usually the things where Windows may actsauly be better, are also rather minor, such as the example I just used | 01:59 |
| bluefox83 | how the heck do i fix sound in flash? | 01:59 |
| mib_9rzy23 | How do I use grep properly? I want use wildcards. eg; find all lines with log.txt that begin with d | 01:59 |
| bluefox83 | !flash | 01:59 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 01:59 |
| Animagladius | Oh.^^ Well, I'm not from an English speaking country, but I hope it's okay for you if I ask some things, sometimes... :) | 01:59 |
| pembrokepuppy | thiebaude1 yeah i unchecked the box under options on the preferences> startup apps menu | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | Mac: got your background changed? | 01:59 |
| danielrmt1 | mib_9rzy23: grep ^d log.txt | 01:59 |
| pembrokepuppy | but the programs still open | 01:59 |
| aaditya | !grep | mib_9rzy23 | 02:00 |
| ubottu | mib_9rzy23: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:00 |
| Animagladius | Lol, I got kicked from #ubuntu-german ... Invite only. Awesome. :D | 02:00 |
| aaditya | that's probably not what i meant by !grep.. | 02:00 |
| pembrokepuppy | guess my fault for picking it in the first place :( | 02:00 |
| Kruger | how do I install something from Synaptic | 02:00 |
| aaditya | Animagladius: #ubuntu-german is invite only? | 02:00 |
| mib_9rzy23 | danielrmt1: Thanks a heap | 02:00 |
| pembrokepuppy | didn't know it was impossible to turn off | 02:00 |
| Animagladius | Yeah, seems so | 02:00 |
| ki4cgp | mib_9rzy23, for all the grep capabilities, the man page is pretty helpful "man grep" | 02:00 |
| Animagladius | Are you in there? If yes, could you please invite me? | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | Kruger: open it up and right click and install, press apply. however it's quicker and better to use commands sudo apt-get install programname | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | !synaptic | Kruger | 02:01 |
| ubottu | Kruger: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 02:01 |
| aaditya | Animagladius: i just joined and nothing stopped me from doing so | 02:01 |
| thiebaude1 | Kruger: some ppl do this sudo apt-get install program name | 02:01 |
| Animagladius | Hm, strange | 02:01 |
| aaditya | Animagladius: what about /join #ubuntu-german | 02:01 |
| Animagladius | I know how to use an IRC client :p | 02:01 |

| burvowski | Since turning on normal visual effects, right clicking when I am in any full screen gnome app causes it to flicker to the desktop for a second. It happens in firefox too. This doesn't happen when I'm not in full screen or when I have visual effects turned off. Any ideas? Is this something I'll just have to live with? | 02:31 |
| burvowski | PS - Alt + Tabbing also causes this | 02:31 |
| x^code^x | Allo my friends | 02:31 |

| harpreet_ | All recent asus motherboards compatible with linux? | 02:37 |
| polorix | yes | 02:37 |
| harpreet_ | ; | 02:37 |
| polorix | or you can not beleive me and go and try ;) | 02:37 |
| harpreet_ | polorix: are you sure | 02:37 |
| Krine11 | How can i install Jaymod to my computer? | 02:38 |
| harpreet_ | Krine11: what is jaymod | 02:38 |
| SOG | um... strange, I don't remember being ask for a root password during installation, but when I do su, it ask me for password | 02:38 |
| polorix | harpreet_, of course i'm not. Go use google..no one knows that answer here | 02:38 |
| Krine11 | I am sorry Java | 02:38 |
| Krine11 | Some people call it Jaymod | 02:38 |
| harpreet_ | SOG: It is not strange | 02:38 |
| harpreet_ | SOG: you have to set the unix password | 02:38 |
| Krine11 | I mean how do i install Java | 02:38 |
| nano404 | I've got a problem, I can't connect to the internet on ubuntu. I'm using a live CD. Using ethernet. | 02:38 |
| harpreet_ | sudo apt-get install java6-jre | 02:39 |
| SOG | harpreet_: so it didn't ask me for the root password during installation ? | 02:39 |
| boss_mc | SOG: root has no password by defaut | 02:39 |
| boss_mc | SOG: not '' | 02:39 |
| JabberWalkie | nano404: is it plugged in? | 02:39 |
| SOG | oic.... | 02:39 |
| boss_mc | SOG: just no password is valid for it | 02:39 |
| harpreet_ | SOG: you must have two passwords, one for administrator, you must have left it blank or something | 02:39 |
| scottj_ | If one uses mplayer to play audio, how does one pause since it doesn't open a window that takes keystrokes? | 02:40 |
| harpreet_ | SOG: you have to set the password for root | 02:40 |

| shoofle | I have a box running 7.04, which I wish to upgrade. should I use the update manager's "upgrade" button, or should I use some other method to upgrade? I've had some trouble with the upgrade button in the past, on another machine, so I feel like I shouldn't trust it. is there anything to be wary of? | 02:40 |
| Krine11 | Hi, How can i install Java so i can play games like runescape agani | 02:40 |

| shoofle | SOG: the install just ended up broken in a variety of small and annoying ways, I don't have a list :( | 02:41 |
| shoofle | I'll try the button, I guess | 02:42 |
| boss_mc | Krine, either open synaptic package manager and install it from there, or 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin' from a command line | 02:42 |
| syntax\ | guys, could you help me out, can i configure a wireless adapter via command line without network manager? | 02:42 |
| joeb3_ | natschil, 4.2.2.2 | 02:42 |
| zamba | syntax\: you could use iwconfig | 02:43 |
| natschil | joeb3_: thanks, which dns server is that? | 02:43 |
| joeb3_ | natschil, belongs to AT&T | 02:43 |
| syntax\ | zamba: ok sir ill check that out.. | 02:43 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: sorted? | 02:44 |
| SanityInAnarchy | Is there a way to boot the livecd with a larger tmpfs/unionfs? It found my swap, and I have plenty of it, but not enough RAM for what I want to do. | 02:44 |
| Krine11 | yes i found out a bit now | 02:44 |
| Krine11 | By the way | 02:44 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: you'll have to restart firefox after the installation | 02:44 |
| Krine11 | i can do all the basic things i will do with windows but maybe just subsitute some stuff? | 02:44 |
| Krine11 | like i surfed using internet explorer | 02:44 |
| inaequitas | hello world. i've been looking for linux-image-debug for 9.04 [2.6.28-11] but nowhere to be found. forums hint that it's altogether missing. anybody have any info on when one would be available, or a workaround? [besides recompiling the kernel] | 02:44 |
| Krine11 | and i can replace this with ubuntu | 02:45 |
| natschil | strange, can't seem to actually reach the server, though I am still connected to the internet, I'll need to see if the routes are messed up somehow...how do I clear the routing table completely? | 02:45 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: ie -> firefox | 02:45 |
| Mac | is there a place that has a list of common apps (ftp, downloader, ect)? I can't tell the idfference between them | 02:45 |
| Krine11 | ok | 02:45 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: itunes -> rhythmbox | 02:45 |
| Krine11 | I love ubuntu by the way so thanks to everyone who helps :) | 02:45 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: wmp -> totem | 02:45 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: etc | 02:45 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: everything you could want to do is doable | 02:45 |
| shoofle | I think my 7.04 install doesn't want to upgrade - it seems to be trying to upgrade to 7.10 :( | 02:45 |
| nano404 | JabberWalkie: Sorry for the late reply, yes it is | 02:46 |
| SOG | brb | 02:46 |
| Krine11 | by the way is ubuntu good for a 1.80 singl core processor? | 02:46 |
| Krine11 | 1.80 GHz | 02:46 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: it should run fine | 02:46 |
| Krine11 | ok then | 02:46 |
| JabberWalkie | nano404: what are you using to connect? | 02:46 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: if it's painfully slow, you might consider xubuntu | 02:46 |
| ki4cgp | shoofle: Yes, it upgrades incrementally like that | 02:46 |
| Krine11 | because this is my cmoputer is use and lagged alot on windows and am surprised its running fine | 02:47 |
| Kruger | how do I make it so I have 4 desktops instead of only 2 | 02:47 |
| boss_mc | Krine11: but it shouldn't be a problem | 02:47 |
| Krine11 | windows told me to buy a new computer | 02:47 |
| Krine11 | ya | 02:47 |
| Krine11 | its not a big problem | 02:47 |
| shoofle | ki4cgp: But it isn't doing the update - is that old upgrade still available? | 02:47 |
| joeb3_ | natschil, sudo ip route flush | 02:47 |
| natschil | joeb3_: thanks | 02:47 |
| jgould[b] | where is xorg.conf. Find is taking longer than it should | 02:48 |
| Krine11 | well i installed java the one you told me to but i still wont get runescape working | 02:48 |
| natschil | joeb3_: tells me it needs arguments | 02:48 |

| Drakeson | Which graphic card manufacturer has good linux friendly 3D accelerated graphic cards? | 03:01 |
| agrathwohl_ | Drakeson: nVidia, without a doubt. Don't do ATI. | 03:01 |
| dli | Drakeson, AMD (ATI) | 03:01 |
| agrathwohl_ | dli: AMD (ATI) is years behind nVidia in terms of reliability, support, and features. ATI graphics cards chug severely on even the most powerful Linux systems. | 03:02 |
| shoofle | curse this computer of mine | 03:02 |
| boss_mc | dli: you could not be more wrong | 03:02 |
| macd | Jaunty install, console shows error: grep: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libprce/so/3: unsupported vsion on 19525 of Verneed record., removing package libpcre3 + purging, reinstalling fixes error and grep works fine, until next reboot, when the error re-appears | 03:02 |
| agrathwohl_ | Is nobody here familiar with what daemon Ubuntu runs that makes all those obnoxious system alert sounds? I want them gone for ever and ever and ever... | 03:03 |
| Drakeson | I know AMD has released specifications for their graphic cards, but I haven't been able to get the 3d accel to work reliably | 03:03 |
| joljam | I am having problems with ekiga in jaunty...whenever I dial I get the msg "Call Completed" and the call does not go through | 03:03 |
| dli | Drakeson, go intel, if performance in mind, go AMD, both support open source | 03:03 |
| agrathwohl_ | dli: You're so incredibly wrong! Drakeson: don't listen to what dli is saying... | 03:03 |
| dli | Drakeson, r6xx/r7xx still in development, up 5o r5xx is quite stable | 03:03 |
| eseven73 | agrathwohl_, System >Preferences> Sound > Sound tab | 03:04 |
| Drakeson | dli: I know a bit about radeon and radeonhd, but do they have _3D-Acceleration_ ? | 03:04 |
| agrathwohl_ | eseven73: I am using e17. I need to know the /actual/ daemon, not the GNOME frontend to it. | 03:04 |
| polorix | yes | 03:04 |
| agrathwohl_ | Drakeson: Yes, but it's poor in quality compared to nVidia driver support. | 03:05 |
| dli | Drakeson, both have 3D for up to r5xx for over one year | 03:05 |
| polorix | i love nvidia, but this laptop i'm on has an ati card...but ubuntu used the 3D accel out of the box | 03:05 |
| JabberWalkie | nano404: dunno, maybe if it is a new computer or nother install or something your host seems to take a little bit to assign you a new ip....for some reason....has happened to me in the past | 03:05 |
| Demonicdata | Anyone have something weird happen with firefox | 03:05 |
| eseven73 | agrathwohl_, ah sorry I didn't catch that part, im not familiar with e17 sorry :) | 03:05 |
| agrathwohl_ | eseven73: It's alright, thanks for your help! =) | 03:05 |
| dli | Drakeson, I think r6xx/r7xx 2D is quite complete at this point, kernel mode setting, dri2 etc are also close to complete | 03:05 |
| polorix | does anyone else experience weird things when the compiz stuff in enabled? like everything is slick except resizing windows and opening minimized windows | 03:06 |
| polorix | (ati) | 03:06 |
| Demonicdata | its seems after some time firefox will stop accepting changes,i mean i can add or delete bookmarks but as soon as i close firefox and reopenen it its gone.i'f tried advice of deleting .sqile files or watever they are called but it seems the only thing that will work is the delete bookmark backups which resets firefox i just stuck with no bookmarks | 03:06 |
| Drakeson | agrathwohl_: is there an open-source nvidia driver with 3D-acceleration support? | 03:06 |
| agrathwohl_ | polorix: Yes, you will get support, but contrary to what dli is saying, the performance is incredibly poor. Simply put, the proprietary Linux ATI drivers do not take full advantage of the cards themselves. | 03:06 |
| dli | Drakeson, I heard about time table of "3 months" back in April, for r6xx/r7xx 3D | 03:06 |
| polorix | agrathwohl_, i totally agree | 03:06 |
| dli | Drakeson, there's rev-engineering nouveau driver for nvidia | 03:07 |
| agrathwohl_ | Drakeson: I don't believe nVidia releases their driver sources, but they have a proprietary driver that is SUPERB. | 03:07 |
| shoofle | whee, tarring up the home directories and stuff for backup fun! | 03:07 |
| === Kubuntu-SR is now known as carolija | ||
| dli | Drakeson, but since nvidia refuses to release docs, nouveau development is active, but intrinsically slow and lack of features | 03:07 |
| ki4cgp | shoofle, me too | 03:07 |
| nano404 | JabberWalkie: Ahhh, thanks | 03:07 |
| agrathwohl_ | Does anybody know what the sound alerts daemon is called that Ubuntu runs? | 03:08 |
| Drakeson | agrathwohl_: we had security issues with the nvidia driver in the past. I prefer not to go in their direction unless ATI (and others) still suck | 03:08 |
| frf2 | join #ubuntu.fr | 03:09 |
| agrathwohl_ | Drakeson: They pretty much do. I used ATI's drivers on a Gentoo machine for a brand new ATI card that was still rather pathetic. | 03:09 |
| agrathwohl_ | Drakeson: What kind of security issues? | 03:09 |

| xeer | If I were to use the live cd to install to a hard drive and then put it in another machine to use, would it work? | 03:15 |
| rabar | macd: yes. I mean it happens with any file if I leave off the extension Apache automatically finds the right file but I dont want it to do that | 03:15 |
| JabberWalkie | Gnome_Danny: in kde you can use Ctl+Esc to bring up a task manager | 03:16 |
| macd | rabar, so apache automatically appends .php to anything left incomplete, i.e. http://www.foobar.com/test would be test.php? even if test.html exists? | 03:16 |

| macd | xeer, not very likely, can you boot from usb on that laptop | 03:18 |
| xeer | macd, no and burning a boot cd to enable usb booting is not an option either | 03:19 |
| dsdeiz | yeah rabar how were you able to fix it? | 03:19 |
| dsdeiz | how do you disable multiviews? | 03:19 |
| rabar | dsdeiz: yep that fixed it! | 03:19 |
| xeer | macd, I am also without a cat5/crossover cable so PXE is out of the question as well. | 03:19 |

| xeer | macd, I already have my usb iso made. I just want to boot to the usb stick in a different laptop and install it to the hard drive | 03:20 |
| macd | orkaa, xeer assuming the equipment is relatively the same | 03:20 |
| macd | xeer, if it is the same equipment within reason that may workout ok | 03:20 |
| rabar | and remove muliviews from options on <Directory /var/www/> or whatever | 03:20 |
| dli | xeer, that should work, you can install it to USB-hdd from another computer | 03:21 |
| rabar | and then reboot | 03:21 |

| tank-man | putty is a windows program | 03:46 |
| jared__ | oh.. thought was multiplatform | 03:46 |
| unop_ | !info putty | 03:46 |
| ubottu | putty (source: putty): Telnet/SSH client for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.60-4 (jaunty), package size 304 kB, installed size 760 kB | 03:46 |
| polorix | jared__: putty? lmfao | 03:46 |
| joeb3_ | putty runs on linux | 03:46 |
| crdlb | joker_: that's what abiword writes periodically (I'm not sure whether it's enabled by default), and .CRASHED is what it writes when it is able to die in a controlled fashion | 03:46 |
| tank-man | you want something like putty on linux, it is called ssh | 03:46 |

| jared__ | oh i see. and putty is just program that does same for windows? | 03:48 |
| juxta | mufasis: yes. install xming, then you can use xforwarding | 03:48 |
| juxta | mufasis: xming on windows, that is | 03:48 |

| tank-man | you still need a x window server on your local pc to run gui apps remotely | 03:49 |

| unop_ | jared__, pretty much, people use putty on linux to manage different ssh profiles in a GUI way .. though you don't really need it | 03:49 |
| joker_ | crdlb: this is what IO get from running abiword from command line, trying to save a document: http://pastebin.com/m4d9ea4c8 | 03:49 |

| mah | EHondaCiviv:you've checked alsamixer volume levels | 03:50 |

| kalsriv | hi | 03:50 |
| kalsriv | I a back with some more quiries | 03:50 |
| mufasis | do i have to use xming with putty or are they seperate | 03:51 |
| === Sev1 is now known as Severity2 | ||
| usser | mufasis, xming is a separate tool, but i'd advise against xming, use cygwin-x instead | 03:51 |
| kalsriv | Can I install Point of interest on my Garmin GPS using UBUNTU | 03:51 |
| crdlb | joker_: out of curiosity, does 'ldd $(command -v abiword) | grep local' give any output? | 03:51 |
| mufasis | why someone else just suggested xming | 03:51 |
| joker_ | crdlb: nope, what does that do | 03:52 |
| EHondaCivic | mah: alsamixer levels look good | 03:52 |
| usser | mufasis, xming is not really free, the author wouldn't let you get source code without a donation | 03:52 |

| mah | EHondaCiviv: make a backup of that one file (etc/modprobe or something like that) and start screwing with it | 03:53 |
| crdlb | joker_: just a longshot to make sure there were no libraries in /usr/local interfering with abiword. Please file a bug at least, as that's a pretty serious one (obviously) | 03:54 |
| joker_ | crdlb: it should list abiword's dependencies... so outputting nothing is bad? | 03:54 |
| mufasis | ahhh ok | 03:55 |
| joker_ | crdlb: right now I'd be more interrested in finding back her work as I might not use linux anymore if I dont ;) | 03:55 |
| EHondaCivic | mah: not 100% sure of what im looking for here | 03:55 |
| mufasis | i thought that putty had an option to forward tunnels or something so i can view a gui on my server | 03:55 |
| joker_ | crdlb: it's kind of a crisis management here | 03:55 |
| crdlb | joker_: if abiword never saved it to disk, it's probably gone ... | 03:55 |
| crdlb | not saving for two hours is a pretty terrible habit on any OS though | 03:56 |
| joker_ | crdlb: thats what i think, but I still have a tidy bit of hope | 03:56 |

| EHondaCivic | mah: looking at the alsa-base.conf | 03:56 |
| usser | mufasis, putty does have the feature to forward x traffic, but it still needs an X server on the client as well as the server | 03:56 |

| mcnellis | Since upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 my wireless stopped working. I discovered that the ath5k module is the problem so I did rmmod ath5k and then modprobe ath_pci and it not works | 04:04 |
| mcnellis | but how do I stop ath5k from starting up and to use ath_pci instead? | 04:04 |
| tank-man | mufasis, I think cygwin has an x window server avaliable | 04:04 |
| BUGUNTU | O:-) | 04:04 |
| mase_work | mcnellis: you can add it to your blacklist in /etc/modules.d i think | 04:04 |
| mcnellis | I added ath_pci to /etc/modules | 04:04 |
| genii | mufasis: I'm pretty sure xming IS free | 04:04 |
| mcnellis | /etc/modules.d is a blacklist of modules to NOT load? | 04:04 |
| tank-man | mufasis, http://x.cygwin.com/ | 04:05 |
| mase_work | mcnellis: i think there is an entry there ,for blacklists | 04:05 |
| mufasis | youre right =) someone told me it wasnt free but it is ty | 04:05 |
| mase_work | mcnellis: sorry /etc/modprobe.d# | 04:05 |

| BUGUNTU | why isnt ubuntu detecting my monitor ? | 04:06 |
| BUGUNTU | why isnt ubuntu detecting my monitor resolutions? | 04:07 |
| diomedesuser | hello | 04:07 |
| mase_work | BUGUNTU: it requests the EDID from your monitor. If you monitor doesn't return the correct information this is often a cause. You may need to get the information from the manual and place it in xorg.conf | 04:07 |
| mcnellis | mase_work: I create the file /etc/modprobe.d# ? | 04:07 |
| mase_work | mcnellis: no, it should be there | 04:07 |
| mase_work | or something similar | 04:07 |
| mase_work | i'm on 8.04.2 atm | 04:07 |
| mcnellis | /etc/modprobe.d# doesn't exist on 9.04 | 04:08 |
| BUGUNTU | why arent there any default resolutions ?? | 04:08 |
| mase_work | BUGUNTU: there are. | 04:08 |
| BUGUNTU | i can only get 8000x600 | 04:08 |
| Gofforth | mcnellis: are you using 9.04 | 04:08 |
| BUGUNTU | why ?! | 04:08 |
| mcnellis | yeah Gofforth | 04:08 |
| mase_work | BUGUNTU: thats the default resolution. What graphics card are you using ? | 04:08 |
| BUGUNTU | why can i just select the monitor from a menu list ? | 04:09 |
| Gofforth | mcnellis: there is a file in there called blacklist-ath_pci.conf | 04:09 |
| mcnellis | BUGUNTU: sometimes the defaults don't load right. Try adding them in manually into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:09 |
| BUGUNTU | manually ? | 04:09 |
| Gofforth | i would assume that that is what you would use | 04:09 |
| mase_work | BUGUNTU: i don't think your having a monitor problem | 04:09 |
| BUGUNTU | do you wnat me to setup a wrong default and seend the monitor for refurbishing ? | 04:09 |
| mase_work | BUGUNTU: i think your using the generic graphics driver vesa | 04:10 |
| mase_work | BUGUNTU: what graphics card are you using ? | 04:10 |
| BUGUNTU | its nor grafics card | 04:10 |
| samd | mcnellis: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 04:10 |
| BUGUNTU | thats completly beside the point | 04:11 |
| samd | mcnellis: if ur looking for the blacklist file, its there, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 04:11 |

| BeatlesFan | how accurate is the Ubuntu compatible hardware list for video cards? | 04:30 |
| tank-man | BeatlesFan, what is your videocard? | 04:32 |
| BeatlesFan | I have onboard video right now but thinking about getting an Nvidia geforce 6200 256MB card | 04:32 |
| BeatlesFan | I can get it $40 w/ free shipping | 04:33 |
| BeatlesFan | the list says it's compatible | 04:33 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, that wouldnt be a bad choice actually ... but the only issue will be if nvidia supports that card next year | 04:33 |
| tank-man | what do you mean next year? | 04:33 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: good point, what if they don't? | 04:33 |
| tank-man | why wouldnt nvidia support it next year? | 04:34 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, its likely it wont be | 04:34 |
| coz_ | since | 04:34 |
| coz_ | the 6xxx series is next in line to have support discontinued | 04:34 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: so what will happen, it will suddenly stop working? | 04:34 |
| BeatlesFan | no, it will continue to work | 04:34 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, no more kernel modules for uptodate kernels | 04:34 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, so it just wont install | 04:35 |
| coz_ | a driver | 04:35 |
| soulwarp | intel and ati cards are supported in the open source community i believe | 04:35 |
| tank-man | i have a nvidia tnt card with a pretty new kernel, no problems | 04:35 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, I have a 6600LE here right now and I am a bit concerned about ubuntu 10.10 | 04:35 |
| Demonicdata | hey is there a program to download album covers for my ipod songs? | 04:36 |
| Kruger | hulu is asking me what version of flash to download: YUM, .tar.gz, .rpm, or .deb I use Ubuntu 9.04 | 04:36 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: so you're saying that as Ubuntu evolves support for older devices ends? | 04:36 |
| eseven73 | Kruger, .deb | 04:36 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, not by ubuntu but by nvidia themselves | 04:36 |
| soulwarp | Kruger: .deb | 04:36 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, no kernel modules will be available | 04:36 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: no kernel modules for the newest version of Ubuntu? | 04:36 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, so if you can find for example a 7xxx series card ... you will be better off | 04:37 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, nvidia will not have dirvers compatible for up to date kernels such as those in ubuntu 10.10 | 04:37 |
| Demonicdata | Deb | 04:37 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, the 6xxx series of cards is next in line for discontinued support from nvidia | 04:38 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: won't the recent kernels be able to handle previous drivers? | 04:38 |
| Kruger | sad I used the gui instead of the shell to install :( I'm not learning | 04:38 |
| dht | what the fuck is a LVDS ? | 04:38 |
| DaZ | BeatlesFan: this part is still supported | 04:38 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, well no nvidia has to create the driver to be compatible with the current kernels | 04:38 |
| eseven73 | !language | dht | 04:38 |
| ubottu | dht: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:38 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: ahh.. I thought nvidia creates windows drivers and the open-source community creates the linux/ubuntu drivers? | 04:39 |
| mufasis | how do i uninstall fluxbox and install xfce? | 04:39 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, oh no not yet although the neuveau project...not sure how that is spelled... is backwards engineering the nvidia drivers | 04:40 |
| soulwarp | Kruger: Ubuntu is about learning about linux, the fact you know it's possible to install a package via command line is one step forward :) | 04:40 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, but they are far from ready | 04:40 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, 2d is fine but nothing even close for 3d acceleration | 04:40 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: so in the meantime, we're at the mercy of the vendors? | 04:40 |
| dsdeiz | mufasis: shouldn't you ask "how to remove gnome/kde and install xfce?" | 04:40 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, yep | 04:40 |
| Demonicdata | I have all 3 installed.well i did then i uninstalled them,although now it says "kubuntu" when booting up | 04:41 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: so what would you recommend for a video card that will last for a few years? | 04:41 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, and it's my guess that it wont be for another 3 years before neuveau is ready | 04:41 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, is this an agp slot? | 04:41 |
| BeatlesFan | I have PCI and one AGP 8x slot | 04:41 |
| mufasis | no i have ubuntu 8.04.02 and it came with no gui i installed fluxbox awhile back and im new to linux so its been awhile and i havent been using it | 04:41 |
| DaZ | pci or pci-e <: | 04:41 |
| mufasis | server edition i forgot to mention | 04:41 |
| BeatlesFan | hang on | 04:42 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, ok the pci slot is going to be useless for things like compiz but the agp slot will allow up to the 76xx series of nvidia cards after that they go pcie | 04:42 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, then of course there is ati but I am completely a doof with ati so dont ask me about them :) but they do have opensource drivers | 04:42 |
| DaZ | agp cards are more expensive | 04:42 |
| q0_0p | how do i install ubuntu on the wii? | 04:42 |
| BeatlesFan | PCI | 04:42 |
| dht | WHAT THE FUCK IS A LVDS ? | 04:43 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, if you are planning to use compiz dont even think about installing a video card via PCI | 04:43 |

| BeatlesFan | ok, thanks | 04:46 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, as I said I have a 6600 LE here | 04:46 |
| coz_ | agp | 04:46 |
| BeatlesFan | what about the 7300 ? | 04:46 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, that's fine also | 04:46 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, and will probably have support for another 3d or 4 years | 04:47 |
| coz_ | 3 or 4 | 04:47 |

| g0wda | I can't get to run frostwire.... it gives a big error, one line of which is: Invalid or corrupt jarfile FrostWire.jar.... | 04:47 |
| DaZ | 300s are weak | 04:47 |
| onexused | How do I install drivers for my wireless card? I went to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and clicked "Activate" for the driver, and it told me it was downloading and installing the driver, but the bar never got past 0% and the card still doesn't show up in "ifconfig -a". | 04:47 |
| JohnP | anyone know where i can get help with HTTrack ? | 04:47 |
| DaZ | everything under 600 is for office imho | 04:47 |
| coz_ | DaZ, what am I looking at here ? :) | 04:47 |
| g0wda | I smell fish in the frostwire shell script: it contains /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrostwire.sh /home/gubatron/workspace/frostwire/builder/..//builder | 04:47 |
| coz_ | DaZ, is your card not being recognized? | 04:48 |
| DaZ | coz_: at ViRGE at pci running composite effects | 04:48 |
| g0wda | the path in the argument doesn't exist, infact there's no user with the name gubatron! | 04:48 |
| g0wda | wtf? | 04:48 |
| g0wda | ? | 04:48 |
| coz_ | DaZ, oh ok yeah its more than possible on PCI slot I just think the lag is more possible with that than agp | 04:48 |
| SeaPhor | onexused, have you downloaded all updates first? | 04:48 |
| chaorain | I am thinking of buying a Dell insperon mini 9 with ubuntu. Has any tried it? | 04:49 |

| JohnP | yeah i know.. but i need some live help.. so i came here <grin> | 04:49 |
| onexused | SeaPhor: I just installed Ubuntu, haven't done anything else. Am I going to have to do an update to get the wireless drivers? I was hoping to use the wireless card somewhere to do the update because of connection speed. | 04:49 |

| penguins2387 | greetings | 04:51 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: what does it mean when it says 3d requires nvidia-glx, use restricted-manager? | 04:51 |
| onexused | SeaPhor: Unfortunately. | 04:51 |
| JohnP | i did a search for an httracj irc channel and i saw a site that daid something about ubuntu with launchpad.. but i dont have launchpad or know what that is. | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | BeatlesFan: it means install the driver | 04:51 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, you want to install the nvidia driver via system/administratioin/hardware driver | 04:52 |
| SeaPhor | onexused, cant run a cat5 cable? | 04:52 |
| penguins2387 | it means that there is a manager avalible that is proprietary and therefore not freeware which you can use | 04:52 |

| onexused | SeaPhor: I suppose I can. | 04:55 |
| syntax\ | zamba | 04:55 |
| mase_work | chaorain: it will probably run blender but you will have a loss of screen relestate so its probably not going to be fun to use and it will be slow with large files | 04:55 |
| onexused | SeaPhor: Mostly, I installed Ubuntu to see if the wireless card would work with little trouble, so I could keep Ubuntu if so : ) If I have to update first, I'll try that. | 04:55 |
| SeaPhor | onexused, i know, its a pain, but i was lucky i could here, but that was with 8.10, what did you install? | 04:56 |
| JohnP | frostwire? i used to use limewire.. too much viruses and not reliable.. if you want to download why not use prapidshare or megaupload? much better. | 04:56 |
| onexused | SeaPhor: 8.10 'cause that's the CD I had. | 04:56 |
| chaorain | mase_work, Well I'm still new to blender and have a desktop I can use for the big files. | 04:56 |

| tyler_d | not if your canadian soulwarp ;) | 04:57 |
| chaorain | mase_work, How well do you think it would handle Anime videos? | 04:57 |
| lstarnes | soulwarp: it depends on the copyright terms | 04:58 |
| JohnP | yes thats true soulwrap.. but.. i didnt see anyone mention they wanted to download illegal things... | 04:58 |
| onexused | SeaPhor: It doesn't have that problem? I should, if that's the case. | 04:58 |
| hermanChess | shame on you Ubuntu for not updating the Eclipse package, people has been asking for it since 2007.... | 04:58 |
| eseven73 | Tyler_d, from what ive been hearing, that's going to be changing soon | 04:58 |
| SeaPhor | onexused, 8.10 was terrible IMO, especially with the initial wireless,,, | 04:58 |
| mase_work | chaorain: i think itwould probably be fine , proly not HD though. These things are more powerful than a PIII 450 and people were doing alot of stuff with those | 04:58 |
| onexused | soulwarp: Just like downloading certain software without paying isn't illegal... | 04:59 |
| onexused | SeaPhor: Okay. | 04:59 |
| chaorain | mase_work, K thanks. don't need HD. | 04:59 |
| mase_work | chaorain: the mini12 might be more of a balance between monitor size and portability if you are going to use blender | 05:00 |
| SeaPhor | onexused, and mine did same with BCM43XX | 05:00 |
| golgobot | hey all | 05:00 |
| golgobot | anyone know of any Flash NES emulators? | 05:00 |
| mase_work | SeaPhor: i wrote to broadcomm but they didn't seem to care =) | 05:00 |
| onexused | SeaPhor: Okay. Thanks for helping. | 05:01 |
| JohnP | there are very good reason to download illegal software if you have to. lik some progroms are so hard to learn with a 30 trail.. you need 6 months for some.. then you know if you want to bu or not. but just dont use the app illegaly.. just use it to learn the app itself. | 05:01 |
| tyler_d | eseven73: possibly... but meh... thats what internet radio is for | 05:01 |
| mase_work | JohnP: thats not a good reason. You should always adhere to copyright terms IMHO. | 05:01 |
| onexused | mase_work: I've had several people tell me "buy a better card" : ) Too bad Broadcom doesn't care about that. | 05:01 |

| BeatlesFan | coz_: i can get the geforce 7300GT 512MB AGP for $90 plus shipping.. | 05:02 |
| soulwarp | hermanChess: if my favorite packages don't get updated regularly, i simple compile the source code. most open source packages come with a installation walk through on how to compile and install it | 05:02 |
| mase_work | chaorain: fair enough. Each to their own, i hope it works for you. | 05:02 |

| heogen | thank you guys | 05:02 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, thats not reall bad a price but not the best but certainly ok | 05:02 |

| BeatlesFan | coz_: and if I don't have one already installed.. just install the card, plug in the monitor, turn on the box ? | 05:17 |
| lstarnes | TheNovice: try running sudo apt-get update, then run sudo apt-get install irda-utils again | 05:17 |

| tanner2007_Linux | Hello, guys how can i get root terminal/ i need to run something but i need root in the terminal and idk how | 05:17 |
| lstarnes | !sudo | TheNovice | 05:18 |
| ubottu | TheNovice: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 05:18 |
| lstarnes | oops that was to tanner2007_Linux | 05:18 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, yes but then go to system/administration/hardware drivers and install the driver form there | 05:18 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: easy enough | 05:18 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: thanks | 05:18 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, or just wait until the system boots and then come here or #compiz if you are going to run compiz | 05:18 |

| BeatlesFan | coz_: totally switched out | 05:19 |
| mufasis | kbuel? | 05:19 |
| TheNovice | lstarnes: hold on | 05:19 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, well then you are lucky I still use xp for several applictaioins but if you dont need windows the better :) | 05:19 |
| Lint01 | BeatlesFan, and your question is? | 05:19 |
| kbuel | mufasis, one easy way, would be: to use 'locate' | 05:19 |
| TeenySHAD0W | BeatlesFan: Yay! | 05:19 |
| BeatlesFan | Lint01: don't have one... yet... coz already answered | 05:20 |
| TheNovice | lstarnes: same error | 05:20 |
| mufasis | how do i use that | 05:20 |

| BeatlesFan | !tab | 05:21 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, ah ok then you are ahead of the game :) | 05:21 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 05:21 |
| Frijolie | I have the proper dictionary selected (en_US) and have it "check as I type" | 05:21 |
| TheNovice | lstarnes: yohooo.... is it a huge bug on jaunty? | 05:21 |

| === GhostWolf is now known as GhostWolf_ | ||
| kbuel | mufasis, but if you installed it from package manager, you should be able to remove it using apt-get or synaptic | 05:21 |
| stickboy | do i have to disable the theme before upgrading? | 05:21 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: I have some experience navigating the file system, running basic commands... even using gedit, and grep, stuff like that | 05:21 |
| TheNovice | lstarnes: holy molly wthhhh my luck darnnn | 05:21 |
| coz_ | mufasis, if that is an application try sudo apt-get autoremove applicationname | 05:21 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, very cool:) then this will become easier faster for you :) | 05:22 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: I think at one point I was using "make" and stuff like that | 05:22 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, ok I am going to break here,,,, be back maybe later although it is 12.30am here and let me know when you get that card I am generall y here #compiz or #cairo-dock | 05:23 |

| Chr|s | lobito: amarok is a KDE application. Are you running Kubuntu or Ubuntu? | 05:32 |
| lobito | well, I updated to ubuntu 9.04, I had 8.10, but the fact is that I dont like amarok 2, 1.4 was lots better, and it is not anymore on the webpage, I would really like to uninstall version 2 and install 1.4 back | 05:32 |
| Chr|s | ryanprior: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:33 |
| lobito | Ubuntu, but works under gnome too | 05:33 |

| the1corrupted | Hello, I'm having trouble removing WINE. I went through the apt-get remove step, but WINE won't disappear from my Apps menu. Why? | 05:38 |
| samd | l0ckx: to see it, open the file browser and press "control-h", and search for the folder ".gconf" | 05:39 |
| hermanChess | the1corrupted, wine, or the apps installed under wine? | 05:39 |
| l0ckx | i've gotten to it | 05:39 |
| l0ckx | i have a howto that's telling me to add some lines to my gconf | 05:39 |
| lobito | use synaptic thelcorrupted :) worked for me | 05:39 |
| l0ckx | for a script to be executed at startup | 05:39 |
| Flannel | l0ckx: alt-f2 then type "gconf-editor" | 05:39 |
| Flannel | l0ckx: that's what the script is talking about | 05:39 |
| the1corrupted | hermanChess, both, actually. I recently got VMWare and have no further use for WINE. | 05:40 |
| l0ckx | right on | 05:40 |
| jgould[b] | why does my directories in my home folder have to be u+x in order for me to look at them? | 05:40 |
| l0ckx | thanks man | 05:40 |
| buttons840 | what is karmic? | 05:40 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick | ||
| samd | l0ckx: for a script to be executed at startup, goto system > preferences > startup apps | 05:40 |
| lstarnes | jgould[b]: because that's how permissions work | 05:40 |
| lstarnes | jgould[b]: you must have +x to check a directory's contents | 05:40 |
| l0ckx | sorry, it says "to let gnome lauch this script" | 05:40 |
| samd | l0ckx: ight | 05:40 |
| hermanChess | the1corrupted, I would always keep wine, it's very useful, but still, it should be removed, don't know what happened. | 05:40 |
| Flannel | the1corrupted: You need to purge it, not remove it. And the apps might stay in your menu. | 05:40 |
| buttons840 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/370343 states "Okay, we have 2.6.30 in karmic now, and it sounds like that's sufficient to consider this resolved." | 05:41 |
| lobito | chris, you there?? :) | 05:41 |
| buttons840 | What is karmic?, and how can I obtain this 2.6.30 | 05:41 |
| the1corrupted | Flannel: Purge it? How? | 05:41 |
| Flannel | the1corrupted: sudo apt-get purge wine | 05:41 |
| doleyb | buttons840: karmic is next version for ubuntu | 05:42 |
| l0ckx | uhmmm...how do i add these keys via gconf-editor ? | 05:42 |
| l0ckx | ahh, new key | 05:42 |
| lstarnes | buttons840: and I think 2.6.30 is the newset version of the linux kernel | 05:42 |
| l0ckx | hello, what's my name? where am i? | 05:42 |
| buttons840 | so, the jaunty bug report is reported and solved because of an update in karmic? | 05:42 |
| * jgould[b] gets ready to ditch linux and go back to the mac os | 05:43 | |
| doleyb | buttons840: well um, karmic would be when the fix comes out. ubuntu doesn't put many bug fixes into a released version. | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | doleyb: unless they can be committed without potentially breaking things | 05:44 |
| l0ckx | thanks all! | 05:44 |
| the1corrupted | Flannel: Tried it. Couldn't get a lock. | 05:44 |
| ozzmosis | jgould[b]: +x for directories is true in OS X also | 05:44 |
| Flannel | Bugs are fixed. New features aren't. | 05:44 |
| === GhostWolf is now known as GhostWolf_ | ||
| Flannel | the1corrupted: close your other package managers | 05:44 |
| doleyb | lstarnes: which is apparently almost never... | 05:44 |

| jgould[b] | but u+x is not for every other file | 05:44 |
| solofight | can sokebody help me | 05:44 |
| DasEi | !ask | 05:44 |
| 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. :-) | 05:44 |

| WIGGMPk | buttons840: lookup kernel check | 05:45 |
| DasEi | buttons840: there are, but why ? | 05:46 |

| solofight | DasEi: help | do we have an utility to monitor disk space and send an email if its going to choke ? | 05:47 |

| WIGGMPk | fdisk? | 05:49 |
| Flannel | the1corrupted: oh. That's because those are created by wine after you install (when you install the programs themselves). You'll have to remove those manually. | 05:49 |
| Gnewt | fdisk! | 05:49 |
| Gnewt | thank you! | 05:49 |
| Flannel | the1corrupted: Just remove your .wine folder (~/.wine) and remove those entries from your menu. | 05:49 |

| hermanChess | the1corrupted, delete .wine in your home folder | 05:49 |
| franticfantom | if I want to install something that only has options for a redhat download and a debian download,which would I download? | 05:49 |

| Flannel | franticfantom: debian | 05:49 |
| jgould[b] | Flannel: This is all data from a Mac OS partition that was copied to a afp share on a Ubuntu server box | 05:49 |

| rashed2020 | How do I back up my whole system? ie. back up all apps, settings, VMs, files etc | 06:06 |
| ziroday | alejandro: I'm taking a look now :) | 06:06 |
| rashed2020 | Is there an automated way? | 06:06 |
| alejandro | ziroday, ok | 06:06 |
| ziroday | !backup | rashed2020 | 06:06 |
| ubottu | rashed2020: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:06 |
| rashed2020 | !sbackup | 06:06 |
| ubottu | sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 06:06 |
| ziroday | rashed2020: if you want _everything_ then its probably best you clone the entire drive | 06:06 |
| DasEi | rashed: want a sector-based hd-copy ? | 06:06 |
| TheNovice | HELP!! | 06:06 |
| TheNovice | what is the eclipse version in Jaunty?? | 06:06 |
| ziroday | alejandro: ooh that looks like a lot of things | 06:07 |
| ziroday | !info eclipse jaunty | 06:07 |
| ubottu | eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 126 kB, installed size 420 kB | 06:07 |
| ziroday | TheNovice: ^^ | 06:07 |
| djxrayray | hi i need help with my linux machine | 06:07 |
| rashed2020 | I was afraid of having to clone the entire drive =/ I don't want huge HD images | 06:07 |
| rashed2020 | DasEi: What does that mean? | 06:07 |
| DasEi | !info eclipse | TheNovice | 06:07 |
| ubottu | TheNovice: eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 126 kB, installed size 420 kB | 06:07 |
| ziroday | alejandro: okay, which part are you stuck on? | 06:07 |
| chriswr | ziroday, thats the problem , i cant find "wine" under any of the sections to check it | 06:07 |
| alejandro | ziroday, i am having trouble moving the files to /usr/share/theme/ /fonts// etc...access denied and i dont know how to bypas | 06:08 |
| ziroday | chriswr: you certain its installed? what does 'sudo apt-get install' wine say? | 06:08 |
| TheNovice | DasEi: how to use 3.4 ? | 06:08 |
| soulwarp | rashed2020: i simply tar.gz my home folder | 06:08 |
| DasEi | rashed2020: that means that you get a 1:1 copy of a particular hd | 06:08 |
| lwizardl | hi | 06:08 |
| xXeHPiCXx | thats weird...xchat just closed | 06:08 |
| ziroday | alejandro: ah right, do you want to install the theme for every user, or just yours? | 06:08 |
| rashed2020 | soulwarp: I need more than that, I need to clone all the settings too. I'm tried of HDs crashing on me | 06:08 |
| rashed2020 | DasEi: imaging? | 06:09 |
| alejandro | every user | 06:09 |
| lwizardl | anyone here familar with making a router out of an old computer? | 06:09 |
| DasEi | rashed2020: image is sth. like a iso, just think of a similar hd | 06:09 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | Hey hey everyone | 06:09 |
| ed_debian | lwizardl, yes | 06:09 |
| ed_debian | lwizardl, What you need to do is configure IPtables | 06:10 |
| ziroday | alejandro: in a terminal do gksudo nautilus, this will create a root file manager, so be careful with what you do | 06:10 |
| mase_work | lwizardl: i've done that before also. Iptables or route will be the tools you need | 06:10 |
| ziroday | alejandro: and then you can copy it to /usr/share/whatever | 06:10 |
| chriswr | ziroday sudo apt-get install wine | 06:10 |
| chriswr | Reading package lists... Done | 06:10 |
| chriswr | Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done wine is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. | 06:10 |
| rashed2020 | DasEi: Yea, I know what that is. I already used partimage. I'm just hoping there's a better solution for when the hard drive crashed. So I can just get a new one, reinstall ubuntu then restore and I'm back where I was | 06:10 |
| FloodBot2 | chriswr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:10 |
| ziroday | chriswr: hmph. Is this jaunty? | 06:11 |
| chriswr | ziroday, i belive so | 06:11 |
| djxrayray | HELLO I NEED HELP WITH MY USB PORTS THEY ARE NOT WORKING | 06:11 |
| DasEi | TheNovice: If you absolutely have to, you could remove -purge the jaunty one and compile your own from a tarball, but it's not granted it works with jaunty environment then | 06:11 |
| alejandro | ziroday, thank you so much! | 06:11 |
| ziroday | chriswr: upgrade from intrepid? | 06:11 |
| ziroday | alejandro: no problem, have fun! | 06:11 |
| lwizardl | ok because I want to force all computers to be required to be up to date on system updates (exmple current with windows updates) before letting them access any sites other than the update servers | 06:11 |
| ziroday | !shout | djxrayray | 06:11 |
| mase_work | djxrayray: no need to shout | 06:11 |
| ubottu | djxrayray: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 06:11 |
| DaZ | djxrayray: does your capslock work? | 06:12 |
| Florimond | Hello | 06:12 |
| djxrayray | yea they work i said something before no one answered | 06:12 |
| ziroday | djxrayray: shouting is not going to get you anywhere | 06:12 |
| mase_work | djxrayray: could be because no one knows the answer | 06:12 |
| ziroday | Florimond: Hi! | 06:12 |
| chriswr | ziroday, i just downloaded it yesterday , and i got it from http://www.ubuntu.com/ and downloaded the 9.04 desktop edition | 06:13 |
| soulwarp | djxrayray: be patient, sometimes repeating your question every few minutes helps | 06:13 |
| mase_work | djxrayray: you can repost after a reasonable amount of time but if people still don't know then you can try the mailing list | 06:13 |
| mase_work | whic has a greater audience | 06:13 |
| DasEi | rashed2020:so either you can use something like partimage or create a fitting parti on a biger hd and then have a 1:1 copy there (quite simple), disadvantage : no incremntal backup | 06:13 |
| lwizardl | or require current updates to connect to internal network | 06:13 |
| ed_debian | djxrayray, Or the forums | 06:13 |
| golgobot | hey anyone still here | 06:13 |
| golgobot | ? | 06:13 |
| DaZ | no | 06:13 |
| ziroday | chriswr: okay, thats odd that didn't work. Try do sudo apt-get --purge remove wine ; sudo apt-get install wine | 06:13 |
| golgobot | lol oh yay wine | 06:14 |
| golgobot | anyway, anyone know of any NES emulators written in Actionscript? | 06:14 |
| ziroday | golgobot: this is probably not the best place to ask, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic? | 06:15 |
| golgobot | what is this forum for then? | 06:15 |
| chriswr | ziroday, still not showing up | 06:15 |
| hax0r1337 | Anybody aware of any good books/manuals/webpages on securing your PC from outside world? | 06:15 |
| ziroday | golgobot: /topic :), its for ubuntu support questions | 06:15 |
| chriswr | ziroday, maybe i need to reboot? | 06:15 |
| SeaPhor | ziroday, should that be sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && sudo apt-get install wine ? | 06:15 |
| golgobot | ah ok | 06:15 |
| Gofforth | hax0r1337: um try google | 06:16 |
| DaZ | hax0r1337: just turn it off | 06:16 |
| Gofforth | lol | 06:16 |
| Gofforth | or unplug the modem | 06:16 |
| ziroday | SeaPhor: oh perhaps, I always get this bit mixed up :). chriswr you shouldn't need to reboot and follow SeaPhor's instructions | 06:16 |
| DaZ | and burry it somewhere to be sure | 06:16 |
| DasEi | hax0r1337: debian securing ubuntu howto, google.. | 06:16 |
| Gofforth | and park a car over it | 06:16 |
| hax0r1337 | Gofforth, DaZ, cool :) | 06:16 |
| Gofforth | your welcome | 06:17 |
| ziroday | hax0r1337: is this in a server or desktop environment? | 06:17 |

| ziroday | hax0r1337: then you are pretty safe by default, if you're really worried you could setup a firewall but you should be just fine | 06:17 |
| DasEi | hax0r1337: simply don't have sesible files on networking machine | 06:18 |
| hax0r1337 | ziroday: I have a router with basic firewall | 06:18 |
| hax0r1337 | ziroday: I'm worried about weak root password | 06:18 |
| Uhriventis | I'm connected to a wireless network and I think someone has been cracking into my network. Is there a program I can get to monitor my network? | 06:18 |
| chriswr | SeaPhor, sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && sudo apt-get install wine didnt work either | 06:19 |
| ziroday | hax0r1337: well unless you enable ssh you should be fine | 06:19 |
| hax0r1337 | ziroday: Hmm sshd is always on, so is apache | 06:19 |
| ziroday | chriswr: logging in and out again might help, I'm not sure how the menu regenerates sorry | 06:19 |
| SeaPhor | hax0r1337, if u have an old box to use, and a few NICs, try Endian... http://www.endian.com/en/community/ | 06:19 |
| hax0r1337 | ziroday: And basic ports such as 22 for ssh are open | 06:19 |
| ziroday | hax0r1337: then you should watch your failed login attempts log | 06:19 |
| chriswr | ziroday, allright , ill try that | 06:20 |
| ziroday | hax0r1337: but on a whole you're quite safe if you stick with the defaults | 06:20 |
| unsurhara | /server irc.plasa.com | 06:21 |

| Uhriventis | Would be nice | 06:24 |
| hax0r1337 | DaZ: You think hosts.allow is enough, I only allow my local pc to have access | 06:25 |

| DasEi | Uhriventis: might look swsscanner, netdicover or- if you got a dircect wireless to the access, wireshark | 06:25 |
| === mikeyo is now known as mrmike | ||
| lwizardl | Uhriventis, I would like an application that would display the hostname, IP, and the MAC address | 06:25 |

| Uhriventis | Wireshark is nice | 06:26 |

| kanti | Can someone help me out understanding the installation of WoW-Wrath of the Lich King? | 06:27 |
| Gnome_Danny | Hey, Is there any fan control utility for ubuntu, because my computers fans are really low | 06:28 |
| kanti | http://www.sysadminwiki.net/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_and_configure_World_of_Warcraft_in_Ubuntu_9.04 Those are the instuctions, but I mean. Do I just type what he typed in that box in the terminal without the $ and # signs? | 06:28 |
| Uhriventis | It's been impossible for me to install LOTR online | 06:28 |
| Lint01 | Uhriventis, is it supposed to work, in first place? | 06:28 |
| Uhriventis | Yeah | 06:29 |
| Uhriventis | They have directions | 06:29 |
| kanti | People have been able to install wrath, but I just dont get those instructions. I switched over to Linux about a week ago, so I dont understand if I am to type the $ and # signs in the terminal? | 06:29 |
| Uhriventis | A lot of things you have to go through | 06:29 |
| Lint01 | kanti, no you don't, they are there just for your convenience | 06:30 |
| kanti | Ah, alright. | 06:30 |
| kanti | So i just go $ sudo mkdir /mnt/lich | 06:30 |

| zeltak2 | Hi, anyone knows if theres a netbook-remix channel? | 06:34 |
| mufasis | anyone here know how to use xming? | 06:35 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, What do you need to know about UNR? | 06:35 |
| zeltak2 | hi ed_debian, for some strange reason beyond me the taskbar in the ubuntu remix 9.04 is completly gone and i cant for the life of me get it back | 06:35 |
| ed_debian | the "taskbar" | 06:36 |
| ed_debian | ?? | 06:36 |
| ed_debian | gnome-panel? | 06:36 |
| zeltak2 | yeah i guess the gnome-panel | 06:36 |
| zeltak2 | its the special panel+notification area in the remix | 06:36 |
| focus | any on using rat poison here? | 06:36 |
| zeltak2 | its suddenly dissapperd with no reason and i cant get it back | 06:37 |
| zeltak2 | havnt uninstalled anything so i dont think thats the casue | 06:37 |
| Roasted | QUESTION - I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I noticed with this version of Ubuntu, if my spare hard drive (auto mounts by UUID in /etc/fstab) that I get an error screen saying failed mount point UUID etc etc and also mentions a failed file system check. Its a black screen with white text. It gives me the option to boot if I hit CONTROL-D. Then it boots fine. If I plug the drive back in, I dont get this error. However, in 8.04 and 8.10 this d | 06:37 |
| Roasted | idn't happen, I'm positive of it. Does anybody know for a fact if this was intentionally changed in 9.04 or the new Linux kernel? | 06:37 |
| ed_debian | well the thing about UNR is that they create a gnome-panel for you with a couple new "applets" as they're called. Maximus is one of them (I forget the others I think there are three) Right click on the panel and turn some on / off until you get it to look how you want. Be warned though maximus and a couple others somtimes take more control then you would expect | 06:38 |
| amerinese | hi, is there a way to ssh to a terminal session that is already open locally? | 06:38 |
| zeltak2 | there is just the desktop background where the panel was before..right cliking only gives the change desktop wallpaper option | 06:39 |
| stevecam | are NVIDIA drivers updated through the the ubuntu system update, or should i install the updates myself? | 06:40 |
| zeltak2 | stevecam: they are updated once in a while through sys update | 06:40 |
| stevecam | zeltak2, ok, so how do i run this system update utility | 06:42 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, run in a terminal "gnome-panel&" that should get it back | 06:42 |
| plasher2009 | hello.. anybody knows how to open system-config-securitylevel.???. I am on xubuntu | 06:42 |
| zeltak2 | sweet. did the trick | 06:43 |
| Wicked | !3gp | 06:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 3gp | 06:43 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, Glad I could help :) | 06:43 |
| zeltak2 | very wierd...i wonder if it will survive a restart..will try it now..thx ed_debian | 06:43 |
| zeltak2 | stevecam: it will auto pop up with update and if you wantto run manually use this | 06:44 |
| zeltak2 | sudo apt-get update | 06:44 |
| stevecam | ahh, i ran that, i will presume that the driver update hasnt been rolled out yet | 06:45 |
| zeltak2 | yup | 06:45 |
| stevecam | im talking about official nvidia drivers btw | 06:45 |
| zeltak2 | i preffer to wait for nvidia updates so i know its well tested :) | 06:46 |
| plasher2009 | hello.. anybody knows how to open system-config-securitylevel.???. I am on xubuntu | 06:46 |
| zeltak2 | i think its a bug ed_debian, after the restart the panel dissappears..ill file a bug..thx again | 06:46 |
| stevecam | yeah, well i prefer to wait cas it ruins the point of using distros again | 06:46 |
| stevecam | if i installed it by hand | 06:46 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, check dmesg | 06:47 |
| stevecam | other then the obvious reasons of being open source, is there any good reason i should use the open source graphics driver for my graphics card | 06:48 |
| Regral | Im having trouble loading any cdroms, when I try and updae my amd64 files im getting an error can anyone help plz | 06:49 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, I don't think it's a bug. I can try and help you fix it if you would like. I have pretty good idea of what to do. | 06:49 |
| zeltak2 | well thats the main reason :) if you want to get the best of the card unfortunanlty you have to use the closed source nvidia driver....lets hope some day thy will open their drivers.. | 06:49 |
| deathtech | Hello All! Im trying to get linux (Ubuntu 9.04) onto an antiquated machines (Compaq Presario 1600XL-145) . So far, i have been sucessful in getting just about everything configured except X. I am stuck in 800x600 Mode. I have tried to run dpkg-reconfigure for the pkg , as well as trying some different things in the xorg.conf file, none have been successful, am i missing out on some other configuration tool that may be more resourceful ? | 06:49 |
| zeltak2 | sweet..im game ed_debian, where should we start? | 06:49 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, Now I have to remember the ubuntu desktop but in System -> preferences do you have "sessions"? | 06:50 |
| caracol | 06:51 | |
| zeltak2 | lol..im a kde user on the desktop so hold on ill check :) | 06:51 |
| deathtech | Also, there seems to be a lack of good guides on setting up this particular machine with linux | 06:51 |
| stevecam | zeltak2, ;-) | 06:52 |
| joetheodd | Is the source code obtained with apt-get source generally the same version as the package with apt-get install? | 06:52 |
| lstarnes | joetheodd: usually | 06:53 |
| joetheodd | deathtech, I'm not good with Compaq. How old is that box? | 06:53 |
| zeltak2 | there is a startup app option. ive also noticed that after returning the panel it acts very wierd...the task manager is gone and its kinda distorted.. | 06:53 |
| joetheodd | lstarnes, okay. Karmic's alsa-base is fubar'd. | 06:53 |
| joetheodd | (I know, +1) | 06:53 |
| deathtech | joetheodd, pretty old. 500 Mhz Proc, 184 MB ram. | 06:54 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, startup app is what we want go into it and give me a jist of what it looks like | 06:54 |
| lstarnes | joetheodd: it's a development release, don't expect it to work :P | 06:54 |
| joetheodd | lstarnes, i expect packages that make it to the apt to actually be valid debs though :P | 06:54 |
| zeltak2 | ok as i said after returing the panel very strange behivour...i cant alt-tab and panel isnt respnsive | 06:54 |
| joetheodd | deathtech, that should be enough to run gnome, although I'm not sure if I'd say well. Are you on the box in question, or another? | 06:54 |
| deathtech | a secondary machine, its an old box im trying to make semi useful for a friend. | 06:55 |
| joetheodd | deathtech, restart it and at the grub menu, hit whatever button it is to display the kernel list (i forget, I have my menu display by default cause I'm a nerd) and select a recovery mode kernel. From the list, select the graphics option | 06:55 |
| dsdeiz | i'm a bit confused.. is pcmanfm a fork of nautilus? :S | 06:55 |
| joetheodd | not sure.. | 06:56 |
| lstarnes | dsdeiz: I think it's written from scratch | 06:56 |
| joetheodd | !pcmanfm | 06:56 |

| zeltak2 | oh i think i may know part of the problem...i used my home directory from my previous xfce install...i see lots of autostart apss there ..should i clean it up and try again? | 06:56 |

| Lint01 | is there some file manager with ACL editor? | 06:59 |
| zeltak2 | ok so cleaning up didnt work :) i have loads of gnome stuff that auto starts (gnome-keyring,splash,at spi registry wrapper,setting deamon,indicator applet, maxsimus win manager, netbook launcer etc..) | 06:59 |

| 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 | 06:59 |
| lstarnes | Lint01: I don't think so, but most file managers have basic permissions editing | 06:59 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, How did you "clean" them ? | 06:59 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, Sorry I didn't tell you sooner not to change them. | 07:00 |
| ed_debian | lol | 07:00 |
| ed_debian | we're alright | 07:00 |
| zeltak2 | no worried...i just removed the xfce panel not the rest | 07:00 |
| zeltak2 | there all there :) | 07:00 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, o good. That's curious though. I wonder why UNR would start the xfce panel. Anyway who cares. Next step is click the add button | 07:01 |
| zeltak2 | k | 07:01 |
| deathtech | joetheodd, Negative, I can Get into X, but my resolution is stuck at 800x600. I have no option to select 1024x768, the native. Also if i run xdebconfigurator, it shows the monitor as being capable of this resolution, but when i run the dpkg-reconfigure tool i do not get a graphics option for xserver-xorg. only keyboard options.. | 07:01 |
| zeltak2 | what command should i add | 07:01 |
| ed_debian | for name call it whatever you want | 07:01 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2 jr for all I care | 07:02 |
| zeltak2 | k | 07:02 |
| ed_debian | then command but in "gnome-panel" just like that (without quotes) | 07:02 |
| ed_debian | comment can also be whatever you want | 07:02 |
| ed_debian | "I like beans" is a helpful suggestion | 07:02 |
| ed_debian | click ok when you're done | 07:02 |
| joetheodd | deathtech, nothing in the display settings preference panel? | 07:03 |
| ed_debian | What this does is runs the command everytime UNR (really just gnome) is started | 07:03 |
| deathtech | Yes, but only 800x600 and lower resolutions are available | 07:03 |
| joetheodd | Odd. :( | 07:03 |
| deathtech | quite so :( | 07:03 |
| joetheodd | Did it detect your monitor and card correctly? | 07:04 |
| deathtech | surely there has to be a better way to configure the graphics, or am i just going to need to edit xorg.conf and use it that way ? | 07:04 |
| xal | How do I make rsync quit after a certain timeout has been reached? I am using --timeout= but the program does not completely exit until the network connection comes back up. I'm simulating the timeout by taking the network down. | 07:04 |
| zeltak2 | LOL :)thx ed_debian, but i tthink the problem is more serious..the panel does come up now, but i cant alt-tab and the tasks dont appear in the panel, the nebook menu is unresponsive..etc | 07:05 |
| joetheodd | I'd do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to make sure you have a virgin configuration, and then check out xorg.conf by hand | 07:05 |
| ed_debian | mmm | 07:05 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, I think that some of the packages are buggy | 07:05 |
| cupi | hi | 07:05 |
| ed_debian | gui things like that usually are bugs no configuration issues so we probably can't fix it | 07:06 |
| ed_debian | idk though ask around. somebody might | 07:06 |
| Ultimate_darknes | !ffdshow > Ultimate_darknes | 07:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ffdshow | 07:06 |

| joetheodd | !info ffdshow | 07:06 |
| ubottu | Package ffdshow does not exist in jaunty | 07:06 |
| deathtech | Anyone else know of a Video Configuration tool i can use to attempt to setup my Xorg Server without having to modify xorg.conf ? | 07:08 |
| zeltak2 | well thx ed_debian in anycase for the help | 07:08 |
| ed_debian | zeltak2, yeah no problem | 07:08 |
| ziroday | deathtech: xrandr should be able to handle (and therefore grandr) unless you meed some funky modelines | 07:08 |

| ghindo | shai3241: Try installing the package ubuntu-restricted-extras. That should do the trick. Open up Add/Remove programs and go from there. | 07:11 |
| deathtech | shai3241, If im not mistaken installing ubuntu-restricted-extras and gstreamer plugins can help with that | 07:12 |
| ed_debian | shai3241, Enable more repos in software sources | 07:12 |

| GhostWolf_ | hello does anyone here play runescape? | 07:34 |
| chris_ | no no, i started out with a fresh xp install, added jaunty, then decided i wanted a joint music partitiion between the two so i made a ntfs partition and have been putting music there. i just wanna know how to auto mount it to /music.. | 07:34 |
| tomek | i had a problem with nvidia drivers wchich are installed automatically(special wizard for this). After installation at login screen, monitor flashing few time, and i have to restart | 07:34 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | my visual effects has been disabled | 07:35 |
| nmvictor | chris_ maybe ot would helpm to have a newpartition with a logical drive for you music, that way it will be available bothways,i dont think what you really want is possible | 07:35 |
| tomek | after few time computer starts | 07:35 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | probably my open gl is not functioning | 07:35 |
| tomek | can you help? | 07:35 |
| joetheodd | chris_, you'll have to figure out which partition on the drive it is, then type sudo mount /dev/<partition name> /media/music | 07:35 |
| chris_ | it is a logical ntfs partition, 0,6 i believe.. | 07:35 |
| joetheodd | chris_, after sudo mkdir /media/music, of course. | 07:35 |
| GhostWolf_ | tomek have you installed the proprietary drivers for nvidia?? | 07:35 |
| Chowder | chris_, why not just store the music in Windows? | 07:36 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | yes i did | 07:36 |
| Chowder | then you can edit the fstab so that it mounts the windows partition on boot | 07:36 |
| chris_ | cause i made it small purposefully so i could run games fast ;) | 07:36 |
| tomek | GhostWolf_, i have geforce3, drivers-> Nvidia accelerated Graphic Driver(version 96) Recomended | 07:36 |
| Chowder | that doesn't make any sense | 07:36 |
| nmvictor | chris_ i stand t be corrected but i doubt if an ntfs partition can e mounted automatically | 07:36 |
| Chowder | nmvictor, fstab | 07:37 |
| everyday | chris_: Edit fstab | 07:37 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | i have installed version 96 | 07:37 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | my one is MX400 | 07:37 |
| joetheodd | chris_, illogical. Just defragment the NTFS partition regularly and you'll have no issue, as far as your drive is concerned. | 07:37 |
| joetheodd | mib_d39c0f9p, MX4000? | 07:37 |
| chris_ | yeah i guess im stuck reading up on it lol, thatnks for the help though! | 07:37 |
| tomek | mib_d39c0f9p, which version of ubuntu | 07:37 |
| GhostWolf_ | ok tomek just asking cause when i installed ubuntu the newest version you have to install the prop drivers which pops up if ya do anything | 07:37 |
| GhostWolf_ | i just need to know if anyone has or plays runescape | 07:38 |
| joetheodd | nmvictor, NTFS can be mounted automatically without a hitch. | 07:38 |
| joetheodd | GhostWolf_, you should ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:38 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | ubuntu 8.108 | 07:38 |

| GhostWolf_ | well whats the topic for this chat then? | 07:39 |
| tomek | GhostWolf_, i will try reinstall drivers later | 07:40 |
| joetheodd | chris_, what you should do is delete the music partition and expand the NTFS partition (get a live CD and get gparted from APT, it's nifty), then mount your Windows drive (if it's not auto mounted) | 07:40 |
| everyday | chris_, you'll add a line that that looks pretty much like: "/dev/[your hard disk] /music ntfs defaults 0 0 | 07:40 |
| joetheodd | GhostWolf_, ubuntu system support. | 07:40 |

| mib_d39c0f9p | i dont have to give chmod command? hyperion__ | 08:35 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | thats the install command | 08:35 |
| umar | GhostWolf, it hasnt asked for over a week, when i ran it it said that system is up-to-date, so i am guessing that may be updates have stopeped coming on 8.04 and it is time to move on to a later version? | 08:35 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | i have used it a several times.. hyperion__ | 08:35 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | after I have successfully installed the driver the same problem exists | 08:36 |
| GhostWolf | umar it maybe that you don't need more updates i am new to linux and ubuntu but i have had it for maybe a week and i think if theres no updates then theres not atm i don't know how long ubuntu puts out updates | 08:36 |
| dsdeiz | anyone knows how i can integrate firefox and gedit with pcmanfm? :S | 08:36 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p if its green or executable you dont have to chmod it, also if you have the ubuntu drivers installed and NVIDIA driver is working in config they have to be apt-get removed before you use the NVIDIA script | 08:36 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | u have told a second way to do it hyperion__ and wht is that | 08:37 |
| umar | ok thanks GhostWolf | 08:37 |
| Slart | GhostWolf: well.. I didn't find any bugs matching this and without some kind of error message it's hard to go forward | 08:37 |

| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p everything nvidia there | 08:39 |
| uberadm | umar, yes, mine did | 08:39 |
| GhostWolf | Slart ok i just don't know why its freezing on me even when i go to apps to sound & video and select k9copy and click open it just freezes | 08:39 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | so the command will be sudo apt-get remove nvidia ri8?? | 08:39 |

| GhostWolf | quibbler i have brasero but it won't let me copy dvd's i have cause it says i need correct plugin and i have no idea what those are | 08:41 |
| umar | uberadm, which version are u using | 08:41 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p aptitude then hit / (search) and "-" everything nvidia and press G to accept | 08:41 |

| umar | uberadm, did u upgrade from a previous version | 08:42 |
| uberadm | umar, yep | 08:42 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p or use synaptic and search everything nvidia | 08:42 |
| umar | uberadm, and ur update manager asked u to upgrade to 9.04, and u clicked a button and it did it? | 08:43 |

| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p yea | 08:45 |
| doleyb | Bolice: maybe #win can help... but you'll need to detail your problem more. | 08:45 |
| GhostWolf | Bolice to install anything in wine i found out is right click on what you want to install and select wine it be windows something i forgot the whole line since im reinstalling wine | 08:45 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | or i can uninstall in gdm | 08:45 |
| doleyb | Bolice: #wine | 08:45 |
| MenZa | Bolice→ So far, noone's had any success with it. Try Flash MX. | 08:45 |

| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p you can uninstall it in gdm, but to install your 3rd party you have to stop gdm... make sure you have the file close by because its hard to retrieve with links | 08:46 |
| Bolice | pity, thnx | 08:46 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | hyperion__: u mean to say kil gdm to uninstall?? | 08:46 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p it might remove in a x enviroment | 08:46 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | i know i have to kill gdm to install | 08:46 |
| uberadm | umar, google is relatively helpful with with regard to this problem.... http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 08:47 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p removing nvidia might change the kernel, so if you stop gdm and build without a reboot you might not work | 08:47 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p only if you see a new kernel | 08:48 |
| uberadm | umar, you might not be seeing the upgrade because you can only upgrade to 9.04 to 8.10 | 08:48 |
| uberadm | *from | 08:48 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | so i will uninstall staying inside X and then kill gdm to reinstall it again and then reboot | 08:49 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | ri8 hyperion__ | 08:49 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p yes | 08:49 |
| umar | yes uberadm, so i need to upgrade to 8.10 first | 08:49 |
| mib_d39c0f9p | or i will do something else hyperion__ | 08:49 |
| hyperion__ | mib_d39c0f9p that sounds right | 08:49 |

| deiaccord | Joe_: so what kit to you have you need to configure then? router, laptop and xbox presumably? anything else you're using? | 10:03 |
| mufasis | no i was just curious what that ment im not going to do it | 10:04 |

| rakista | Is there a hardware button on the laptop to turn the wifi on and off ? | 10:16 |
| Chousuke | mufasis: (somewhere near the end that is) | 10:16 |

| joekluse | Is this a good place to ask a question about video drivers? | 10:40 |
| kholerabbi1 | bullgard4: possibly on irc.gnome.org would be better | 10:40 |
| awilkins | chazco: Probably Skype. Or Ekiga, if you can get the XP machine to set it up | 10:40 |
| lordinfernal | awilkins: yes. it freezes a lot when im trying to scroll the list. but temperature is not at a normal point.. | 10:40 |

| awilkins | chazco: It's tricksy to get it working properly with the audio, but the video seems to work well on my box | 10:41 |
| kholerabbi1 | bullgard4: You mean it isn't a support channel? OK well here works just as well - I jsut thought they might know more specific things | 10:42 |
| bullgard4 | kholerabbi1: Thank you for commenting. | 10:42 |
| chazco | awilkins - Hmm okay, will have a look... the one in Medibuntu okay? | 10:43 |
| kholerabbi1 | bullgard4: Empathy works for me here. What are you having problems with? | 10:44 |
| awilkins | chazco: I used the official .debs ; I haven't tried the medibuntu one | 10:44 |
| chazco | awilkins - Okay, thanks :) | 10:44 |
| alan_simmonds | is anyone using radeonhd drivers and are they anygood? | 10:44 |
| kholerabbi1 | chazco: Skype works for me great :D | 10:45 |
| awilkins | Obviously it would be better if Ekiga worked on Windows | 10:45 |
| awilkins | And ate through firewalls as well as Skype | 10:45 |
| awilkins | And had such a huge userbase | 10:45 |
| chazco | awilkins / kholerabbi1 - Which would be the best choice - Mediabuntu, or the offical Ubuntu 8.04 debs or Debian Etch debs? | 10:45 |
| awilkins | Ah well | 10:45 |
| awilkins | chazco: I can't tell you which is best because I've only used the Skype debs | 10:46 |
| chazco | awilkins - Yep, but which ones? | 10:46 |
| kholerabbi1 | chazco: I use the medibuntu skype - but whether another is better or not I cannot say | 10:46 |
| chazco | kholerabbi1 - Does it work with video calls? | 10:47 |
| awilkins | chazco: The ubuntu debs | 10:47 |
| bullgard4 | kholerabbi1: I tested it with two 9.04 Ubunteros. I received the voice of one of them well but the voice readabilty of the other was only <5%. The voice was often interrupted and in addition chopped with a frequency of about 7 Hz. Both test partners could not understand my voice. | 10:47 |
| kholerabbi1 | chazco: It should if you're webcam works. It does for me | 10:47 |
| chazco | awilkins - Okay, will try the 8.04 deb on 9.04 :) | 10:47 |

| harpreet_ | bluegoon: specify the directory and check | 11:43 |
| progesterone | HardDisk My download speed is 42Mbit/s. But the web pages load is extremely sluggish | 11:43 |

| harpreet_ | bluegoon: sudo apt-get install smbfs, tell me result | 11:44 |
| awilkins | sknnbones: I'm not so sure you could do a proper install on it because FAT32 lacks some of the features that a proper linux install requires | 11:44 |

| sknnbones | not on it | 11:44 |

| sknnbones | <3 | 11:45 |
| ozzer | harpreet_: thanks, it said libswfdec-0.8-0 was not installed so i installed it and now it works | 11:45 |
| awilkins | It's just a question of marking the parition active and copying the relevant files to it | 11:45 |
| sknnbones | .... | 11:45 |
| CaneToad | rakista, I tried moving /usr/bin/Xorg aside and /usr/lib/xorg aside and copying in what was there in Intrepid...works...but X server burns a very high amount of CPU | 11:45 |
| sknnbones | *takes back cookie* | 11:45 |
| clever | what CLI tool can i use to rip music cd's? | 11:46 |
| rakista | What all is running when you do Top ? | 11:46 |
| awilkins | sknnbones: Less scary than it sounds .. Jaunty even has an app for making bootable USB media | 11:46 |
| awilkins | sknnbones: Not sure whether it wipes the existing filesystem though | 11:46 |
| CaneToad | rakista, freshly started X server in that scenario is burning 100% cpu with no apps running | 11:46 |
| progesterone | The web pages load is very slow on Ubuntu 9.04 although my download speed is 42Mbit/s. How can I fix it? | 11:46 |
| rakista | that is not good | 11:47 |
| clever | CaneToad: xrestop | 11:47 |
| CaneToad | rakista, the X server itself is hogging the cpu | 11:47 |
| sknnbones | okay, if I backup my ipod, what format would I need to format it to to let it install Linux on my SATA hard drive? | 11:47 |
| rakista | hmm, never did a live downgrade of X before | 11:47 |
| rakista | Sort of like doing surgery while driving | 11:48 |

| CaneToad | jerkman, I have a usb to IDE adapter that works fine | 11:56 |

| sknnbones | anyone? Wireless connection sharing to xbox live on xbox? | 11:58 |

| Niknam | how can i rename my desktop in workspace??? i want it to appear as orkspace in nautilus | 11:58 |

| pirinto | I had a "mount --bind source destination" in rc.local it's not being executed anymore after upgrading | 11:58 |
| sknnbones | why? | 11:58 |
| Rohit | jerkman : in that case even this cable shld have worked | 11:59 |
| sivan26 | Hello , does it possible to convert NETWORK NAME (on my lan) to ip address ? | 11:59 |
| jerkman | Rohit: that is what i would have thought | 11:59 |
| rakista | canetoad I would run xorg in debug or just use strace http://linux.die.net/man/1/strace | 11:59 |
| sknnbones | with a wired connection to the xbox and computer and a wireless connection to the router. | 11:59 |
| rakista | See what it is accessing | 11:59 |
| Rohit | jerkman: thts wierd | 11:59 |
| rakista | sorry tired 5 am here lol | 11:59 |
| jerkman | Rohit: it isnt the drive, and the adaptor definatley works as i tried it yesterday on windows | 11:59 |
| jerkman | sknnbones: ah, ok that will work | 12:00 |
| bullgard4 | rakista: Bad advice. That would imply to first deinstall linux-doc and linux-doc-2.6.28. | 12:00 |
| pirinto | I'm trying to run something as simple as "touch /home/myuser/blah.txt", I'll reboot and see what happens | 12:00 |

| sknnbones | err no | 12:01 |
| jerkman | hmm, what are the drivers for zyxel like? | 12:01 |
| rakista | You can download them without using the package manager though bull | 12:01 |
| sknnbones | its a belkin with a broadcom chip. | 12:01 |
| sknnbones | err | 12:01 |
| sknnbones | for the zyxel | 12:01 |

| ozzmosis | klenix: maybe the file is corrupt | 12:02 |
| jerkman | sknnbones: aha, broadcom has poor range in the drivers. My dell laptop has the same issue. This cannot be fixed until better drivers are developed | 12:02 |
| sknnbones | RTL8185 | 12:02 |
| sknnbones | my broadcom wireless card is in my old computer, I forgot I switched it out for my zyxel. | 12:03 |
| Joe__ | I want to share my internet connection via my laptop, but I want all traffic to go through Tor (or something similar)... how can I do this? | 12:03 |
| klenix | ozzmosis: probably yes, can we check if any file corrupt. | 12:04 |
| sknnbones | also, my wireless card is auto compatible with ubuntu | 12:04 |
| sknnbones | perhaps the drivers for ubuntu are faulty? | 12:04 |
| jerkman | sknnbones: yes, but the drivers may not be as good as the windows ones just yet | 12:04 |
| ibralnet | no answers | 12:04 |
| sknnbones | should I try installing the most recent ones with ndiswrapper? | 12:04 |
| matmo | hi all, need some info, what is the most common version used (hardy lts?) and when is the next LTS version expected? | 12:04 |
| ozzmosis | harpreet_: your question can't really be answered. a modern PC's onboard video will be better than a PCI video card from 10 years ago. but a modern PCI Express card will generally be better (faster) than a modern AGP card, and much faster than a modern PCI video card (if you can still buy them) | 12:04 |
| cptblood | where's the Xorg conf file located? | 12:04 |
| jerkman | sknnbones: you could try that, yes. not sure of the range it will give, but worth a shot | 12:05 |
| ozzmosis | klenix: gzip -tv filename.tar.gz | 12:05 |
| jrib | cptblood: why? | 12:05 |
| ozzmosis | cptblood: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:05 |
| ozzmosis | cptblood: ... unless you don't have an xorg.conf | 12:05 |
| cptblood | i wanna change the NoLogo=False to True | 12:05 |
| jrib | cptblood: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:05 |
| cptblood | thx | 12:05 |
| sknnbones | alright | 12:06 |
| harpreet_ | ozzmosis: right, i just wanted to decide between the two, i plan to sell systems to normal users, any suggestion? | 12:06 |
| sknnbones | thanks for all the help. Cookies and coffee for everyone | 12:06 |
| rakista | you can always do locate xorg.conf or any other file as well cptblood | 12:06 |
| harpreet_ | ozzmosis: ubuntu ofcourse | 12:06 |
| jerkman | sknnbones: yay... | 12:06 |
| cptblood | bleh, there's no specific NoLogo option | 12:06 |

| jerkman | woo | 12:06 |
| cptblood | anyone who knows how i can get rid off the Nvidia splash? | 12:06 |
| ozzmosis | harpreet_: well onboard video probably won't support compiz stuff (wobbly windows), or have very good 3D support. | 12:06 |
| cptblood | i am | 12:06 |
| jrib | !nvidia > cptblood | 12:06 |
| ubottu | cptblood, please see my private message | 12:06 |
| sknnbones | a metaphorical doughnut | 12:06 |
| awilkins | cptblood: You can put a paramter in your xorg.conf to get rid of ti | 12:07 |
| cptblood | ok | 12:07 |
| harpreet_ | ozzmosis: true but wont getting a pic become a little expensive? | 12:07 |
| cptblood | anywhere basically? | 12:07 |
| awilkins | cptblood: I think the nvidia-settings applet even has a checkbox for it | 12:07 |
| jerkman | ok, i still have a problem with this usb to ide adaptor not working | 12:07 |
| cptblood | not using Xwindow | 12:07 |

| g0wda | is there a plugin to capture last.fm stream in rhythmbox?????? | 12:08 |
| g0wda | ? | 12:08 |
| jerkman | g0wda: just use audacity | 12:08 |
| cptblood | http://paste.ubuntu.com/181185/ <- there? | 12:08 |
| ozzmosis | harpreet_: other problem with onboard video is it might not be supported very well by Xorg | 12:08 |
| jerkman | g0wda: it will record anything | 12:08 |
| harpreet_ | ozzmosis: well said | 12:08 |
| ozzmosis | harpreet_: eg. I hear there are problems with onboard Intel | 12:08 |
| jrib | cptblood: cptblood yeah, add: Option "NoLogo" "true" | 12:08 |
| cptblood | ok | 12:08 |
| harpreet_ | ozzmosis: i have excluded intel already, everything amd | 12:08 |
| cptblood | Option to be included, and use of " ? | 12:09 |
| g0wda | jerkman: explain? does it record my output? | 12:09 |
| jrib | cptblood: everything after the ':' | 12:09 |
| cptblood | thx | 12:09 |
| harpreet_ | ozzmosis: i'll look for realtek audio on motherboard with phenomX2/4 processor support | 12:09 |
| jerkman | g0wda: yes, i think you have to record the digital interface or something. I cant remember which interface exactly, but one of them will do it | 12:09 |
| rakista | quad procs are lovely in linux | 12:09 |
| * sknnbones goes kaboom | 12:09 | |
| ibralnet | still no answers :( | 12:10 |
| ozzmosis | harpreet_: my newest PC is 4-5 years old .. it's a gigabyte motherboard .. SiS onboard video is fairly well supported by Xorg. realtek ethernet works fine in Ubuntu. realtek audio too. but I have no idea what modern gigabytes are like. | 12:10 |
| Joe__ | I want to share my internet connection via my laptop, but I want all traffic to go through Tor (or something similar)... how can I do this? | 12:10 |
| harpreet_ | ozzmosis: they have realtek most of the time. i want audio , network and video work flawlessly for users | 12:11 |

| hateball | GhostWolf_: If you want a different version than the one provided in the repos, you'll have to grab them from Sun and install manually. | 12:32 |
| ozzmosis | RichiH: I think they are just trying to encourage "best practice" | 12:32 |
| GhostWolf_ | hateball i did that and i installed it in terminal like it told me to and it still shows the latest version even after i removed the lastest version | 12:32 |
| jrib | RichiH: usually people ask about logging into root because they aren't aware of sudo. So it's better to inform people about sudo since that's how most ubuntu documentation is going to perform administrative tasks. If someone knows about sudo, but still wants to login as root for some reason, then it's fine to teach them how to enable it | 12:32 |
| hateball | GhostWolf_: Are you talking about the mozilla-plugin? | 12:33 |
| GhostWolf_ | no hateball | 12:33 |
| cycrosism | jrib my account on the server is already root so i just use sudo now | 12:33 |

| quibbler_ | vxworks, do you have another install program open like add/remove or a terminal with apt-get, if so close everything, then open a terminal and do sudo dpkg --configure -a | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: you will need a PPA with the version Jaunty uses for your release | 13:05 |
| quibbler_ | vxworks, also close synaptic before you do that | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: or compile it | 13:05 |
| ubuntistas | i wanna instal a firmware via ubuntu to my zen v plus mp3 player any clue? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: or get jaunty | 13:06 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ActionParsnip: hey man | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Paddy_EIRE: werd | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntistas: wine may help but i wouldnt personally. i recommend using a windows based pc | 13:06 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ActionParsnip: hanging around #politics is bad for ones mental health :-/ I should know better | 13:07 |
| eurythmia | ubuntistas, which firmware? | 13:07 |
| quibbler_ | kulight, look here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html | 13:07 |
| laxa8831 | ActionParsnip: I have the adress for the package,how do i tell symaptic to use it> | 13:07 |
| eurythmia | Paddy_EIRE, hanging out in #math is good though ;) | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Paddy_EIRE: lil bit. i just avoid the whole subject in life :) | 13:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | lol | 13:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | eurythmia: yes | 13:08 |
| ubuntistas | eurythmia it'a windows based firmware but i use only ubuntu | 13:08 |
| kulight | quibbler_: thank u but htis does not work for jaunty 9.04 | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: if its a deb, you can use sudo dpkg -i <deb file name> | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: if its a repo you will need to add it to /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:08 |
| eurythmia | ubuntistas, ah. You may be able to install it using wine. but hold on, I'll get back to you on that. | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: you will also need to authenticate it using gpg (not essential) | 13:09 |
| myxo | Perhaps I can present you guys with a problem and you can point me to a tool which could help me. I have recently setup a wireless network, one of the people I live with however is oblivious to technology and does things like leave Limewire uploading at maximum allowable network speed. Any tools that would allow me to watch IP traffic to see if anyone is killing the network, so I can show them and perhaps change their ways? | 13:11 |
| MikeChelen | can anyone recommend a compressed filesystem, using FUSE or otherwise? | 13:11 |
| kosiorro | join #ubuntu-pl | 13:12 |
| zkemoshi | hey,after a recent update my grub menu changed and my vista recovery option is missing,how do i restore it? | 13:12 |
| laxa8831 | ActionParsnip: the adress was just to a genearl 9.04 repositry for 9.04, not a specific package | 13:12 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, try etherape to monitor network traffic, will need to install additional software on the router to do traffic shaping though | 13:12 |
| sipior | myxo: wireshark, or plain old tcpdump for analysing packets. have a look at the traffic shaping options of iptables to drop the priority of limewire traffic. | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: if you arent using 9.04, don't use 9.04 packages, it will break things | 13:13 |
| eurythmia | ubuntistas, from what I can tell, the creative zen players are not "linux friendly" ... the mtp lib helps you to transfer files, but you still need a windows machine to install firmware (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/866195.html) | 13:14 |
| laxa8831 | ActionParsnip: true, but piece of software im trying to use isn't compatible with 4.2.2 | 13:14 |
| myxo | MikeChelen how intensive is the software change to the router? How high of a tech level? I have to admit I'm only decent, and decent is relative of course. sipior, what do you think of etherape? the program MikeChelen mentioned, and I assume your programs also require router management. No problem though, no one I live with is techie except me, I can keep them oblivious for their own good. | 13:14 |
| rashamra | hi could any1 recommend me a software equivalent to the cakewalk music creator? | 13:15 |
| laxa8831 | ActionParsnip: other people have installed arduino straight onto 8.04 with no problem... why is it always me? | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | laxa8831: its the nature of the beast | 13:15 |
| marko--- | Hi, I'm currently on a laptop that cannot boot into windows. So i'm using the ubuntu 9.04 live cd. When i want to mount the NTFS partition i get this ERROR---> http://pastebin.com/m7b668190 | 13:15 |
| omid8bimo | hey guys, i want to be able to install this linux over network, but i want to use the iso file somewhere on the server. is it possible? | 13:16 |
| sipior | myxo: i've never used etherape. i'm sure it's fine, although the name is fairly obnoxious... | 13:16 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, its not too difficult, depends what software your router supports though | 13:16 |
| frederick85 | my sounds not working 9.04 jaunty | 13:16 |
| eurythmia | frederick85, what kind of soundcard do you have? (lspci | grep Audio) | 13:16 |
| flintwingel | omid8bimo: it is possible if your pC can use PXE boot | 13:17 |
| marko--- | Hi, I'm currently on a laptop that cannot boot into windows. So i'm using the ubuntu 9.04 live cd. When i want to mount the NTFS partition i get this ERROR---> http://pastebin.com/m7b668190 I really need help | 13:17 |
| MikeChelen | sipior, lol that never occurred to me before, its good for a visual summary of traffic usage | 13:17 |
| omid8bimo | flintwingel: i know about pxe | 13:17 |
| myxo | sipior i did notice that | 13:17 |
| myxo | sipior your recommendations, do they require "reflashing?" i assume a router as well, i'm not sure how software on a router works | 13:17 |
| myxo | sipior or just minor changes | 13:17 |
| sipior | myxo: you can always stick a linux box between your wireless subnet and the rest of your network or the internet at large, avoiding the rom-flashing issue. | 13:18 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, wireshark is good too, more technically involved, the monitoring programs dont need router changes but traffic shaping with iptables does | 13:18 |
| omid8bimo | flintwingel: actually i have it running right now, dehcp serves the ip and over tftp i get pxelinux.0 file and i have go on by installation files | 13:18 |
| myxo | sipior mikechelen i did assume any shaping would require software changes, but i don't think it will be necessary, the people are reasonable, just oblivious, i can tell them what they are doing but before i can tell them i need to see it | 13:18 |
| omid8bimo | but not by iso | 13:18 |
| myxo | sipior does that require an extra machine or can that be done from the machine i use casually as well? | 13:19 |
| flintwingel | omid8bimo: you will either need to mount the iso locally on the server using the loop device ro unpack it to a directory on the server | 13:19 |
| myxo | mikechelen which do you think would meet my minimum desire of watching traffic to certain IP's while providing ease of use? i am of course willing to learn and read but it is merely a side concern at the moment | 13:20 |
| omid8bimo | flintwingel: so then what? | 13:20 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, either one is ok, you can use your computer if you like, if its turned off though all internet access will be disabled | 13:20 |
| myxo | mikechelen ahhh ok | 13:20 |
| omid8bimo | flintwingel: can i still boot with pxe and then use that mounted or unpacked iso? | 13:20 |
| mib_3q1cy0 | bnj | 13:20 |
| frederick85 | eurythmia: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) | 13:20 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, its easy to install etherape and wireshark, either should work | 13:20 |
| flintwingel | omid8bimo: yes, unpack the iso and then make the directory you've pyt it in available with NFS | 13:21 |
| laxa8831 | is there any way i could upgrade the avr-gcc on 8.04 to something newer than 4.2.2? | 13:21 |
| myxo | mikechelen would you recommend one or the other, or should i look at both and see which is more intuitive, i'm not sure of the size of the programs is why i ask, if they are small i'll just do a quick terminal command, assuming they'r efree | 13:21 |
| eurythmia | frederick85, wow ... I've never seen one of those before. Hold on a moment though, I have a potential solution, I just have to find it. | 13:22 |
| flintwingel | omid8bimo: then in you pxe config file you'll need the line append initrd=initrd.ub904 boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.100.1:/install/ub904 | 13:22 |
| ubuntistas | eurythmia do i need to use windows? | 13:22 |
| eurythmia | ubuntistas, unless you want to try using wine, yes. I wouldn't suggest wine though, it might brick your player. | 13:23 |
| flintwingel | omid8bimo: the boot might hang just after a message about squashfs... if it does press alt-enter | 13:23 |
| omid8bimo | flintwingel: thanks. where should i put that pxe config line? | 13:23 |
| jondgls | What is the best tool / method to recover deleted files from an NTSF external HDD? | 13:24 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, yes all software included with ubuntu is free, idk exactly how big they are but it will tell you during install if you use "sudo apt-get install etherape wireshark" | 13:24 |
| qcjn | hi, if anyone could help me uninstall mpd by hand, cause i messed up a bit ? | 13:24 |
| eurythmia | frederick85, try "workaround A" from here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller), it's for gutsy, and for the 808* family of Intel HD audio controllers, but since your's is Intel HD Audio, it still might work. | 13:24 |
| ubuntistas | so eurythmia the solution is to download and install firmware from windows machine? | 13:24 |
| flintwingel | omid8bimo: your boot config file... usually /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default | 13:24 |
| myxo | mikechelen just wasn't sure if it was in the same category as certain programs like Cedega | 13:24 |
| omid8bimo | flintwingel: oh got it | 13:25 |
| eurythmia | ubuntistas, yeah; if you have a windows VM set up, you *should* be able to use that (provided your VM is vmware or virtualbox) | 13:25 |

| eurythmia | my_nick, click on the maximize button, top right, next to the "close" button. | 13:26 |
| my_nick | i just want gvim looks like vim in cli, but supports mouse operations | 13:26 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, traffic shaping is more involved, etherape should not require any setup though | 13:26 |
| eurythmia | my_nick, did you know that vim (in CLI) supports mouse operations? | 13:26 |
| my_nick | eurythmia, thank you. it's not waht i want | 13:26 |
| my_nick | eurythmia, no. my vim in cli doesn't | 13:27 |

| Roasted | QUESTION - I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I noticed with this version of Ubuntu, if my spare hard drive (auto mounts by UUID in /etc/fstab) that I get an error screen saying failed mount point UUID etc etc and also mentions a failed file system check. Its a black screen with white text. It gives me the option to boot if I hit CONTROL-D. Then it boots fine. If I plug the drive back in, I dont get this error. However, in 8.04 and 8.10 this d | 13:29 |
| Roasted | idn't happen, I'm positive of it. Does anybody know for a fact if this was intentionally changed in 9.04 or the new Linux kernel? | 13:29 |
| MikeChelen | myxo, we'll be here :D | 13:29 |
| flintwingel | omid8bimo: vmlinuz & initrd from the ISO in casper directory | 13:29 |
| my_nick | eurythmia, still, it's not the same vim in cli with 'set mouse=a' and gvim, even though they both support mouse operations. | 13:30 |
| nouri | Where can I find a repository for Gutsy? | 13:30 |
| MatBoy | mhh, FX5200 has issues on 8.10 and 9.04 ? | 13:30 |
| eurythmia | my_nick, you may need to set your terminal to support the mouse; I can't remember offhand how to do that. | 13:30 |
| my_nick | eurythmia, any way, it's nice. thank you | 13:30 |
| MatBoy | man, no vga anymore :S | 13:30 |

| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 13:32 |

| MikeChelen | Gautam, abiword might work | 13:36 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Gautam: try using abiword | 13:36 |
| MikeChelen | plasher2009, gsambad is a config utility for samba server | 13:36 |
| Gautam | can i install it from terminal...like sudo apt-get install abiword | 13:37 |
| amanda-b | (there is only one samba. while it does not suck, the protocol it implements most assuredly does.) | 13:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Gautam: yes | 13:37 |
| eurythmia | nouri, my *best* guess is that a lot of time invested in a google search, or talking to a friend who made a local mirror of a gutsy repo are your two best options ... sorry :/ | 13:37 |

| bluewook | Hi there :) I'm having difficulty finding the webcam software in Ubuntu. Is there any or am I just crazy? | 13:37 |
| gartral | Gautam: yes, and you should purge and reinstall open office, too | 13:37 |
| amanda-b | bluewook, just because it might be there doesn't mean you're not crazy. just fyi. | 13:38 |
| Gautam | gartral, i have tried many times through different ways...but it always sends error atlast | 13:38 |
| bluewook | amanda-b: thats fair | 13:38 |
| jondgls | sipior: where can i find documentation on ntsfundelete syntax? | 13:38 |
| Sirisian|Work | Does "netstat --udp" show all the UDP sockets being used? | 13:38 |
| MikeChelen | plasher2009, sure, getting samba configured can be tricky, samba web administration toolkit (SWAT) is another good option, especially if you need to administer remotely | 13:38 |
| sipior | jondgls: "man ntfsundelete" would be a good guess | 13:38 |
| gartral | Gautam: sudo apt-get purge openoffice && sudo apt-get install openoffice doesn't work? | 13:39 |

| amanda-b | Rorschach, it's unlikely to be copy protected, but it's probably trademarked. | 13:41 |
| amanda-b | bluewook: Amarok does not play shn files, although xine does. For some reason, Amarok will not play files that don't support tags. shn files don't support tags, so Amarok won't play them. Astoundingly stupid, yes, but true. | 13:42 |

| eurythmia | bluewook, browse through this (http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/16/033225) for ideas, if you read about something that looks like it meets your needs, google it and/or "apt cache search <packagename>" to see if it's in the repos :) | 13:44 |

| amanda-b | Rorschach, IANAL, but i've done some trademark work. just because it looks similar doesn't mean much necessarily. | 13:45 |

| dingleberry | i am using firestarter firewall, and when I tranfer something via ftp to my other computer , it dies out like half way through and I lose internet on the other computer, I need to reboot this computer to get it working again | 13:54 |
| etx | i have concatenated all of my node's id_rsa.pub files into one authorized_keys2 file which i put in .ssh/ but now instead of asking me the root password, it asks for the passphrase. did i do smth wrong? i want passwordless login | 13:54 |
| eurythmia | hey, how would one go about adding a factoid to ubottu? | 13:54 |
| MasterMind30 | wondering if any one can help me just recently have been having problems viewing video feeds | 13:55 |
| deany | dingleberry, try ufw (frontend gufw) | 13:55 |
| helper | helo what x here mean ? does it mean password is encrypted ? kad:x:1000:1000:Moe Kad:/home/kad:/bin/bash | 13:55 |
| prentice | !firestarter | dingleberry: | 13:55 |
| ubottu | dingleberry:: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 13:55 |
| TwoD | dingleberry, that doesn't sound like a firewall issue, Firestarter should in any case list any blocked traffic. Btw, Firestarter is just a frontend for iptables, just like ufw is. | 13:55 |
| flintwingel | etx: that passphrase unlocks the is_rsa file... if you want tno passwors at all run ssh-keygen and when it asks for a passphrase just type return | 13:55 |
| sipior | etx: you need an ssh agent running locally. have a look at "keychain", or the gnome keychain agent. | 13:55 |
| dingleberry | TwoD, do you think it could be a switch issue, my switch is old , and for some reason only transfers at like 800kb , but I dont see why it would die half way through | 13:56 |
| etx | sipior: how do i do that? | 13:56 |
| sipior | etx: these will allow you type your key passphrase once, and then login wherever and whenever you want, sans passphrase or password. | 13:56 |
| etx | sipior: i just type ssh-agent? | 13:57 |
| sipior | etx: "sudo apt-get install keychain". "man keychain" :-) | 13:57 |
| adv | i have my broadcom wifi working now, i see wireless networks, but i wont connect.. what is the problem? | 13:58 |
| etx | sipior: thanks | 13:58 |
| helper | helo what x here mean ? does it mean password is encrypted ? kad:x:1000:1000:Moe Kad:/home/kad:/bin/bash | 13:58 |
| Halitech | adv any encryption on the wireless? | 13:58 |
| adv | yeah wep | 13:59 |
| usr13 | I have a friend that just installed 9.04 after I gave him the CD. He said that updates just seemed to stall and was not given the oportunity to supply password. Is this a known problem? Can I point him to some wiki that tells of this issue? | 13:59 |
| Halitech | adv, have you entered the wep key? | 13:59 |
| sipior | helper: it means the password is kept in /etc/shadow. | 13:59 |
| adv | i tried a second wifi router but no luck either | 13:59 |
| helper | sipior, thx | 13:59 |
| vxworks | which package udevinfo belongs? | 13:59 |
| Halitech | adv, what wireless card? | 13:59 |
| helper | sipior, how i can know this user is LOCKED .what the symbol of locked? | 13:59 |
| adv | broadcom 43xxxx | 13:59 |
| zek | has anyone here used PlayerStage? | 14:00 |
| adv | i has taken long time, but with a clean install and cable internet during install i see wifi networks in my manager | 14:00 |
| sipior | helper: generally a "!" or "*" in the password field in /etc/shadow. | 14:00 |
| jezi22 | how can i install skype? | 14:01 |
| Ojii | argh why do common tasks in todays homenetworking (internetsharing/foldersharing) just fail in jaunty in connection with windows (vista)? this is just plain annoying | 14:01 |
| sipior | helper: also doesn't hurt to set the shell to /bin/false. | 14:01 |
| TwoD | dingleberry, maybe. I could only guess at what's wrong though, I've never encountered a problem like that where one has to reboot the machine to get it working again. Checked syslogs etc during transfers? Maybe it could tell you if something goes wrong. Or go hard-core and use wireshark to monitor the actual traffic and see if packets get lost or somehting. | 14:01 |
| adv | but it won't connect, only the turning green dots | 14:01 |
| helper | sipior, mean this proftpd:!:14316:0:99999:7::: this user is locked right ? | 14:01 |

| harpreet_ | usr13: not for the session , log out and check | 14:09 |
| Halitech | Ojii, you need to check the network settings in windows to know what workgroup its using | 14:09 |
| sipior | Ojii: the workgroup should be the same as the workgroup of the windows box--check the network connection tab under vista. | 14:09 |
| usr13 | harpreet_: update-manager does not ask for password to do updates? I've been running ubuntu for some time now and I've not seen anything like that. | 14:09 |

| lapwook | eurythmia: I have an error with the software i downloaded. it says "could not connect to /dev/video0" | 14:13 |

| Byeitical | mahfiaz, any ideas? | 14:14 |
| almost | change UID is it usermod -u? | 14:14 |
| eurythmia | lapwook, you need to make sure your user has permissions for video | 14:14 |
| harpreet_ | usr13: tell him to run dpkg --config | 14:14 |
| lapwook | eurythmia: i'm admin, how would i set those permissions? | 14:14 |
| eurythmia | lapwook, do that by appending your username to the line in /etc/group that starts with "video" | 14:14 |
| harpreet_ | usr13: or he can run livecd and fix broken packages | 14:14 |
| AdvoWork | hi there, has anyone here ever used Blender? | 14:15 |
| Ojii | Halitech/sipior: I give up, i'll just use apache... | 14:15 |
| u2pian | if somebody installed "rpm" packager, say in an ubuntu system, so now both "dpkg --version" and "rpm --version" returns as valid packager,..what is the best way to tell which is which the distros's main packaging system? rpm or dpkg? | 14:15 |
| mahfiaz | Byeitical, sorry, no, but I would check the file referred in error and see what this line contains, and does this error replicate when you run it on your own | 14:15 |
| eurythmia | lapwook, then you have to logout and log back in again. A temp workaround, though, is by doing "sudo chmod a+rw /dev/video0" ... but, it's not all that secure ;) | 14:15 |
| lapwook | i'm fine with that haha | 14:15 |
| Byeitical | mahfiaz, it simply runs `locale charmap` and yes it replicates | 14:16 |
| sipior | u2pian: given the different standards regarding where things are placed in a linux system, running rpm and dpkg simultaneously is likely to result in many tears. | 14:16 |
| usr13 | happosade: "run livecd and fix broken packages"? | 14:17 |
| lapwook | eurythmia: okay i did that it still doesn't detect the camera. It's a built in laptop camera, would i need to like download drivers for it or something? | 14:17 |
| u2pian | sipior: that's why I want to know which is natively supported by the distro..so that my nice installer app wont get trick by this mess... | 14:17 |
| lapwook | eurythmia: or am i going to have to restart to have that command take effect? | 14:17 |
| usr13 | happosade: "run livecd and fix broken packages"? Can you elaborate on that? | 14:17 |
| eurythmia | lapwook, you sure would. what is the output of "lsusb" ? | 14:17 |
| eurythmia | lapwook, that "yes" was for drivers. | 14:18 |
| u2pian | sipior: i already have two ways: 1) package query /lib/libc.so.6 2) rpm vs dpkg has longer list of packages.. | 14:18 |
| sipior | u2pian: best to prepare debs or rpms separately, really. | 14:18 |
| busyfingers | anyone mind if i post a q about wireless connectivity using 8.04 on a dell latitude? | 14:18 |
| eurythmia | lapwook, additionally, you'll need to double check to ensure you have V4L2 installed | 14:18 |
| u2pian | sipior: yes..i am separating then..but again, my installer needs to detect which is which.. | 14:18 |
| Halitech | busyfingers, thats why we are here :) | 14:18 |

| busyfingers | ok here goes, in short i want to istall the current version on a dell latitude D610 and use the built in wireless capabilities, i am wondering if there re known issues with tht bbefore i proceed further. | 14:20 |
| heguru | System404: you can use the lshw command to see the hardware | 14:20 |
| tatters | Halitech: k thnx | 14:20 |
| u2pian | sipior: under ubuntu, libc.so.6 should belong to dpkg and never to rpm.. | 14:20 |
| Halitech | busyfingers, do you know what wireless card it has? | 14:20 |
| talntid | busyfingers: I use a Latitude D830... works perfect. | 14:20 |
| System404 | heguru: thanks dude | 14:20 |
| heguru | System404: there is also the graphical tool for listing hardware somewhere in preferences menu | 14:20 |
| sipior | u2pian: so you're stuck maintaining this ever-growing mess, instead of simply relying upon your users to answer a simple question. give your users some credit! | 14:20 |
| talntid | it's a broadcom wireless | 14:21 |
| floatob | is it true that black people aren't allowed to use ubuntu? like i know its not an official rule , and that they can just pretend to be white, but it seems there are none using it, so is there some underground rule that discourages it? i guess the question is, is it against the rule for blacks to use ubuntu? | 14:21 |
| busyfingers | as far as i can tell i think it is a broadcom. | 14:21 |
| usr13 | happosade: Couldn't he just run: sudo apt-get -f install ? | 14:21 |
| grompol | test | 14:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | busyfingers most of those had the bcm43xx and there are over 4 different versions of the same card making it more diddicult. But it does work with some tweaking | 14:21 |
| Halitech | busyfingers, it should work but may need to have a wired connection to get things going at first | 14:21 |
| harpreet_ | usr13: did you read my messages | 14:21 |

| Byeitical | this is totally ridiculous, i can't install locales because i don't have locales | 14:22 |
| mahfiaz | Byeitical, but can you run "locale charmap" directly on terminal? if yes, then what does PATH contain? is this where python gets directories of programs? | 14:22 |
| talntid | lol. | 14:22 |
| Byeitical | mahfiaz, no, i cant | 14:22 |
| Byeitical | locales isn't install and won't install | 14:22 |
| usr13 | happosade: Oh, ok... :) | 14:22 |
| Gautam | Halitech, i have just installed openoffice and its working absolutely fine.... | 14:23 |
| harpreet_ | busyfingers: best way to check is to check the chipset of the motherboard, processor, big thing..sound and wireless card, if you tell me all these, i can tell you what will work and what not | 14:23 |
| mahfiaz | Byeitical, can you force the installation script? | 14:23 |
| Gautam | thanks to you and all of you here. | 14:23 |
| Halitech | Gautam, glad to hear :) | 14:23 |
| System404 | ok i done lshw command to list my hardware under cpu it says intel core 2 duo bla bla load a crap then WIDTH 64 bits does that mean this is a 64 bit machine and not 32 as it was shipped with 32 bit vista so if it was 64 bit why was 32 bit on it i wonder | 14:23 |
| gusnan | How does PPA's work, I see I can create one, and then it ask for what I want to call the PPA - Is a PPA per package or per person? thus, should I call it "gusnans_ppa" or "my_package_name_ppa" | 14:23 |

| u2pian | sipior: thanks for your ideas.. | 14:23 |
| eurythmia | lapwook, it's available on the repositories | 14:23 |
| busyfingers | thanks Halitech , i will give that a go. much appreciate, any suggestions on how best to narrow down which haardware virsion i am using, that mo=ight also prove haplull | 14:23 |
| lapwook | okay | 14:24 |
| awilkins | System404: AFAIK all Core 2 Duo machines have 64-bit processors | 14:24 |
| unixdawg | ia64 arch | 14:24 |
| TwoD | dingleberry, what did the syslog say, if anything related to the network? | 14:24 |
| System404 | awilkins: then why the hell did dell ship this with 32 bit windows vista | 14:24 |
| Halitech | busyfingers, you can try running the live cd and see if it works prior to installing, if it does it should tell you in hardware drivers what is being used and you can use that info when you install | 14:24 |
| dingleberry | TwoD, where do i view that? | 14:25 |
| System404 | awilkins: i just always assumed it was 32 bit because of this | 14:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | System404 THat would be offtopic, by a large ,argin | 14:25 |
| awilkins | System404: And the benefits are marginal unless you need processes with more than 2GB of RAM | 14:25 |
| Byeitical | mahfiaz, i've had this issue with 3 generations of ubuntu now, all server versions, it's taken me ages each tim eto fix it | 14:25 |
| heguru | System404: its normal for machines to come with 32-bit vista even on a 64-bit proc | 14:25 |
| harpreet_ | System404: some lazy installer may be | 14:25 |
| awilkins | System404: The 64-bit drivers were rather pokey on release as well | 14:25 |

| System404 | Halitech: i have tried that it still stutters i fink it may be the flash codec installed just isnt up to scratch | 14:31 |
| Halitech | dooglus, you can spoof it, thats not the same as changing it as the mac address is physically hard coded into the card | 14:31 |
| dooglus | helper: I think so - I'm not sure | 14:31 |
| awilkins | Halitech: Yes, but the end effect is exactly the same - the switch doesn't know the difference between a spoofed address and the one in the firmware | 14:32 |
| eurythmia | the bot fu is strong with me ... | 14:32 |
| Halitech | System404, could be, personally I seldom go to youtube so I dont care how it works there :) | 14:32 |
| usr13 | dingleberry: You already told us it is timing out you don't need to paste that stuff on here. DO as I said. See if you have a valid nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf | 14:32 |
| System404 | Halitech: u can change the MAC on your router thus changing your IP on reset | 14:32 |
| TwoD | dingleberry, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 14:32 |

| Halitech | awilkins, yes but its not being changed | 14:32 |
| dooglus | Halitech: I'm talking about changing the mac address as seen on the wire. I don't care about the hardware, whether it is 'really changed' or spoofed, or what. for all intents and purposes it is changed, because everyone sees the new one, not the old one | 14:32 |
| dingleberry | TwoD, i have done that, and still it wont come back up unless i reboot | 14:32 |
| TwoD | dingleberry, btw there's also /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/daemon.log and maybe /var/log/debug to look at | 14:32 |
| awilkins | Halitech: I think we're quibbling over the definition of "changed" | 14:32 |
| usr13 | dingleberry: It is possible that the router did not finish giving you all the IP information. | 14:32 |
| Halitech | System404, again, you don't change it, you spoof it to make a device think its changed | 14:33 |

| zamba | Halitech: subversion should be pretty trivial to backport, or? | 14:42 |

| friendishan | ok then | 14:55 |
| sipior | matio: i notice that fact doesn't suddenly make your problem an ubuntu support issue :-) | 14:55 |

| flintwingel | dooglus: its related to fragmentation by at high usage levels the system has to work harder to find free space | 14:55 |
| boss_mc | flintwingel: doesn't ext4 now have a defragment method? | 14:55 |
| dooglus | flintwingel: there's a list of free blocks that is maintained. it doesn't have to hunt for them | 14:56 |
| matio | sipior: yes but the forum has a gaming forum & im using ubuntu (i don't know if its a ubuntu problem or not) | 14:56 |
| mhoy06 | Anyone know how to turn off the 'drums' sounds when it starts up? People are complaining | 14:56 |
| boss_mc | dooglus: but it has to fragment the file which takes effort | 14:56 |
| flintwingel | dooglus: it has to find contiguous free areas | 14:56 |
| Pici | mhoy06: System>Preferences>Sound | 14:56 |
| sipior | matio: looks like you're stuck waiting, then. | 14:56 |
| mhoy06 | Pici, I got some of it off, but couldn't find the spot for the drums | 14:56 |
| eurythmia | flintwingel, iirc, none of the major *nix filesystems have the problem of filesystem fragmentation, since the free blocks list is present in at least most of them. | 14:56 |
| dooglus | mhoy06: I put an old broken pair of headphones into the headphone socket. that turns off all the jungle noises | 14:56 |
| matio | sipior: yep | 14:57 |
| eurythmia | flintwingel, seems to be a predominantly windows problem ;) | 14:57 |
| the_count | whats the pastebin url again?? | 14:57 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mhoy06 System, admin, login window accessibility tab ? | 14:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmmm.. join.. ask.. leave.. #3 method on 'how to not get help on irc' | 14:58 |
| flintwingel | eurythmia: its not the dodgy windows type fragmentation that affects vfat/ntfs filesystems regardless of use - they have poor allocation models | 14:58 |
| dooglus | x4d: i=1; while ((i<10)); do cut -d, -f$i file > col$i.txt; ((i=i+1)); done | 14:58 |
| nixot | hello people | 14:58 |
| nixot | :D | 14:58 |
| x4d | dooglus: thanks I'll try | 14:59 |
| flintwingel | eurythmia: *nix file systems actively seek to control fragmentation as they write - it just gets harder as the FS gets full | 14:59 |
| eurythmia | flintwingel, still, access times aren't affected by that type of fragmentation; the only thing you'd really have to worry about (with the type of fragmentation we see) is recovering lost files if the fs were reformatted. | 14:59 |
| dooglus | x4d: that's assuming you meant for each column... did you mean for each line? | 14:59 |
| nixot | is there a way to change the sound buffer length in ubuntu? the sound in my games is out of sync | 14:59 |

| winterelf | bazhang: the channel is dead, i think it's all bots | 15:49 |
| Halitech | henry-nicolas, you could test it and use it to confirm the hardware is okay | 15:49 |
| helper | sipior, how to use mkisofs, there is no man for it | 15:49 |
| bazhang | winterelf, then repeat here every so often and ask in there as well | 15:49 |
| henry-nicolas | mneptok: When i start brasero with the --debug option, I can notice that brasero complain because cdrdao is a symlink to wodim, same for mkisofs vs genisoimage. I don't know if there are any problem there | 15:49 |
| sipior | helper: simpler just to use the gnome program, i think. have a look through the menus... | 15:50 |
| henry-nicolas | Halitech: The burner can actually burn DVDRW (I did it yesterday) so I guess this is not an hardware related problem | 15:50 |
| augustowebd | come guys, a really need your help... | 15:51 |

| jwo | if both or one is GPL and supported officially by canonical why is it not? | 16:14 |
| jwo | what is GCJ? | 16:14 |
| LjL | !info gcj | jwo | 16:14 |
| ubottu | jwo: gcj (source: gcc-defaults (1.78ubuntu1)): The GNU Java compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.3.3-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1 kB, installed size 48 kB | 16:14 |
| jwo | is that a JRE? | 16:14 |
| LjL | eh... no. it says "compiler". | 16:15 |
| jwo | i am only interested in JRE as I do not code in java | 16:15 |
| jwo | i figured so | 16:15 |
| jwo | from an end-user point (not developer) only a JRE is important | 16:15 |
| jwo | specifically a plugin | 16:15 |
| Pici | IHS_Intern: I think it may be stored in gconf. If you're looking into locking down the desktop environment you may want to look into the sabayon and pessulus packages. | 16:15 |
| jwo | also... what is better icedtea6-plugin or sun-java6-plugin? | 16:15 |
| LjL | !jre | jwo, i do believe the wiki page here lists a few JRE choices | 16:15 |
| ubottu | jwo, i do believe the wiki page here lists a few JRE choices: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 16:15 |

| eurythmia | jwo, okay, look at it this way: when you install ubuntu, java is not installed. If you use apt-get to install a package requiring java, it will install java-gcj, not sun's java | 16:20 |

| FormicAcid | http://pastebin.com/m3c0d276f | 16:21 |
| sipior | FormicAcid: stdio --> stdio.h | 16:22 |
| mquin | FormicAcid: your include line should should be "stdio.h" rather than "stdio" | 16:22 |
| jwo | deepfriedsquirre: the binary drivers from the NVIDIA site will automatically remove the old "junk" | 16:22 |
| eurythmia | jwo, no. if you install sun-java6 packages, then sun-java6 will be installed, but, say, if you were to install openoffice and you didn't have java installed (iirc), then openoffice.org-gcj and java-gcj will be installed. | 16:22 |
| jwo | deepfriedsquirre: have you tried using Synaptic? | 16:22 |
| FormicAcid | I suck, you rules :P Thank eveyrone :D | 16:22 |
| coz_ | racecar56, you could right click the update notification icon and go to preferences | 16:22 |
| deepfriedsquirre | jwo: I thought they would, but they didn't >< | 16:23 |
| talonstriker | hi, i'd like help to do dist-upgrade | 16:23 |
| jwo | deepfriedsquiree: fresh install lol | 16:23 |
| talonstriker | the problem is that while downloading the packages, my connection went out. | 16:23 |
| helo | anyone know how to add an applet to the gnome panel? there is no empty space to click on... | 16:23 |
| talonstriker | now i wish to restart the distupgrade | 16:24 |
| FormicAcid | worked like a charm, I can no conquer the world mouahahahh thanks :P | 16:24 |
| FormicAcid | I can now* | 16:24 |
| talonstriker | but update manager is claiming that there are no new updates avialable | 16:24 |
| frostburn | helo, create a new panel and put it on another side | 16:24 |
| stew | helo: click above or below an existing applet | 16:24 |
| jwo | eurythmia: ok, by default nither sun-java6 nor openjdk-6 packages are installed by default in ubuntu, despite all OOo packages besides Base being installed | 16:24 |
| eurythmia | FormicAcid, all you have to do is write ConquerTheWorld.c ;) | 16:25 |
| helo | all of the applets consume the entire height of the panel... | 16:25 |
| ed_debian | helo, Move the applets / temporarily remove some | 16:25 |
| coz_ | talonstriker, try in terminal update-manager -d | 16:25 |
| jwo | eurythmia: however, if you "apt-get install openoffice.org" then it installs the openjdk-6-jre | 16:25 |
| deepfriedsquirre | thanks jwo | 16:25 |
| coz_ | talonstriker, actually sudo update-manager -d | 16:25 |
| talonstriker | thanks | 16:25 |
| helo | what a shitty design... | 16:25 |
| talonstriker | that did the trick | 16:25 |
| jwo | deepfriedsquirre: no troubles bubbles | 16:25 |
| FormicAcid | eurythmia: I'm quite amase that is that simple to write c, I been in java world for the last 5 years :S | 16:25 |
| Pici | helo: Please mind your language here. | 16:25 |
| stew | helo: are you sure there isn't a 1 pixel border on the side farthest from the monitor edge? | 16:26 |
| TheBrayn | howdy folks | 16:26 |
| eurythmia | jwo, hm. I may have been incorrect then. maybe openjdk is now default. I am, by no means, an authority. Just speaking based on past experience. | 16:26 |
| ANINHA | oiiiiii | 16:26 |
| eurythmia | FormicAcid, I am proud to welcome you to the world of C programming :) | 16:26 |
| jwo | eurythmia: thats cool, its just that this was the case about 10 days ago | 16:26 |
| talonstriker | eurythmia, openjdk is installed by default | 16:26 |
| jwo | eurythmia: FYI... ubuntu 9.04 repo's | 16:26 |
| helo | my apologies for ruining the pristine internet with my filthy mouth... | 16:26 |
| eurythmia | talonstriker, so, is openjdk going to replace the gcj java altogether? | 16:27 |
| FormicAcid | eurythmia: next step make a usb driver for android to activate a dildo, I guess I need to work a bit more :P | 16:27 |
| helo | pretty sure... | 16:27 |
| eurythmia | FormicAcid, you can do that in java ... | 16:27 |
| eurythmia | ;) | 16:27 |
| eurythmia | j/k ... maybe | 16:27 |
| talonstriker | it already has, as it has been installed by default | 16:27 |
| coz_ | helo, guy its not that it is pristine it is that this is a "family friendly" channel and we all have to watch what we say :) | 16:27 |
| eurythmia | talonstriker, understood. | 16:27 |
| macvr | coz_: just to remind u ,there is no update notification icon... in 9.04 | 16:27 |
| jwo | eurythmia: so openjdk is installed by default? | 16:27 |
| eurythmia | jwo, apparently. | 16:27 |
| FormicAcid | didnt found the API to do it, but only looked 2 sec | 16:28 |
| coz_ | macvr, yeah I just noticed that | 16:28 |
| coz_ | macvr, system.preferences.startup applications should have dont it for him though | 16:28 |
| coz_ | but he is gone now | 16:28 |
| FormicAcid | I know there is usb java driver on linux but not sure it will work out of the box with android | 16:28 |
| helper | using protsentry , i just specify TCP mode and UDP , and by default if there is port scanner , it block it ? or should i specify something else,? | 16:28 |
| jwo | talonstriker: is icedtea-6-plugin included as default? | 16:28 |
| macvr | coz_: yeah hez gone, there is still a way ot revert to the old icon | 16:29 |
| talonstriker | jwo: i don't think so | 16:29 |
| coz_ | macvr, oh I havent looked into that I have no need for it but what is the way to revert ? | 16:29 |
| helo | god forbid any 'family' members stumble upon #politics | 16:29 |
| jwo | eurythmia: when will gnash be included as default in ubuntu? when it is stable? | 16:29 |
| jwo | talonstriker: i didn't think so either | 16:29 |
| jwo | talonstriker: why not? | 16:29 |
| macvr | coz_: $gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false | 16:29 |
| talonstriker | actually, it is | 16:30 |
| talonstriker | just checkd | 16:30 |
| coz_ | macvr, cool I will save that if someone else asks :) thanks | 16:30 |
| LjL | helo: this is not #politics in case you hadn't noticed, but #ubuntu. i suggest you just respect the rules that you find here, and stay on topic. | 16:30 |
| eurythmia | jwo, I think if you use free software only, then Gnash is the default. | 16:30 |
| crawler2 | schambers are you still there? | 16:30 |
| macvr | coz_: $gconftool -s --type int /apps/update-notifier/regular_auto_launch_interval 0 this is to set the launch interval, just change the 0 to the days u want :) | 16:31 |
| eurythmia | jwo, my last experience with gnash was that it was still resource-heavy, and not as fast as the non-free flash plugin (that can be expected though, usingwhite-room rev. engineering) | 16:31 |
| murlidhar | does anyone use gtwitter here ? | 16:31 |
| MikeChelen | eurythmia, was gnash compatible with sites like youtube? | 16:31 |
| ed_debian | gnash isn't in a default ubuntu install because no operating system has a flash player by default (including windows and mac's various operating systems | 16:31 |
| coz_ | macvr, thanks again:) it may come in handy :) | 16:31 |
| murlidhar | !info gtwitter | 16:31 |
| ed_debian | ) | 16:31 |
| ubottu | gtwitter (source: gtwitter): Client for tracking and posting to twitter. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0~beta-6ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 45 kB, installed size 260 kB | 16:31 |
| macvr | coz_: np :) | 16:31 |
| jwo | eurythmia: i figured | 16:31 |
| MikeChelen | murlidhar, only a little it is kind of limited | 16:32 |
| eurythmia | MikeChelen, I was able to get you tube working with it (using a hack), and I remember that it was high on their priority list, but that was a few years ago. | 16:32 |
| FormicAcid | arrgg too many line / sec here i'm getting sick thank alot for your help guys | 16:32 |
| jwo | eurythmia: so, the summary is that openjdk-6-jre is installed by default, so not to worry... but ubuntu-restricted-extras will install adobe-flashplugin and sun-java6-plugin? | 16:32 |
| eurythmia | jwo, you will have to specify that you want adobe-flashplugin and sun-java6-plugin installed. | 16:33 |
| fanno | good evning all, my first time installing ubunto. i am not sute if i did something wrong the installer has stoped at 82 % gennemsøger filspejlet (searching file system ? in english maybe ), is it notmal this takes a long time, it have been in that position for about 20 minutes | 16:33 |
| eurythmia | If there are metapackages for them, I don't know what they are called. | 16:33 |
| JB21|TV | moin moin | 16:33 |
| MikeChelen | eurythmia, maybe will give it another try, dont mind high resource usage as long as there is technical compatibility | 16:33 |
| jwo | fanno: it is scanning the mirro | 16:34 |
| JB21|TV | kennt sich einer mit ubuntu aus? | 16:34 |
| jwo | fanno: this is normal | 16:34 |
| Pici | !de | JB21|TV | 16:34 |
| ubottu | JB21|TV: 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. | 16:34 |
| eurythmia | MikeChelen, best of luck. | 16:34 |
| MikeChelen | jwo, restricted extras installs adobe flash but not sun java | 16:34 |
| fanno | jwo: but so long time ? | 16:34 |
| murlidhar | does anyone use gtwitter here ? | 16:34 |
| murlidhar | !info gtwitter | 16:34 |
| ubottu | gtwitter (source: gtwitter): Client for tracking and posting to twitter. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0~beta-6ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 45 kB, installed size 260 kB | 16:34 |
| eurythmia | MikeChelen, and my commendation to you for using free alternatives :) | 16:34 |
| murlidhar | it's not working for me :( | 16:34 |
| jwo | fanno: maybe internet connection issues? | 16:34 |
| _user_ | hey guys , is there a plan to implement pause resume function to ubuntu copy files some day ????? | 16:34 |
| MikeChelen | murlidhar, yes what questions do you have about it? | 16:34 |
| jwo | fanno: wireless? | 16:34 |
| fanno | jwo: the dish is only 250 gb total ( 3 partitions ) | 16:34 |
| fanno | no lan | 16:34 |
| murlidhar | it says connection failed MikeChelen | 16:35 |
| MikeChelen | eurythmia, im using non-free for now and it works fine however would like to move in that direction! | 16:35 |
| jwo | fanno: what does it say? | 16:35 |
| JB21|TV | ok...so i must talk english | 16:35 |
| fanno | jwo: it's not saying anything just standing at 82 % installed | 16:35 |
| MikeChelen | murlidhar, are other clients working okay? | 16:35 |
| jwo | fanno: not saying "scanning the mirror"? | 16:35 |
| murlidhar | MikeChelen: yes | 16:36 |
| sipior | JB21|TV: only if you want a response :-) | 16:36 |
| eurythmia | MikeChelen, I understand. I went that direction for awhile, but I wasn't convicted enough to sacrifice some compatibility for the free road. :/ | 16:36 |
| murlidhar | MikeChelen: gwibber is working good | 16:36 |
| fanno | jwo: i dont know if it's internet conection problem ?, when i install winddows on it i need to manualy add the driver also windows dont have the driver aswell | 16:36 |
| _user_ | hey guys , is there a plan to implement pause resume function to ubuntu copy files some day ????? | 16:36 |
| jwo | MikeChelen: so icedtea6-plugin or sun-java6-plugin needs to be installed manually? which would you recommend? | 16:36 |
| MikeChelen | murlidhar, idk then, gtwitter worked okay last time i tried it | 16:37 |
| murlidhar | MikeChelen: idk ? | 16:37 |
| murlidhar | i don't know ? | 16:37 |
| MikeChelen | jwo, depends on what sites you want to use, many require the java version | 16:37 |
| murlidhar | lolz ok | 16:37 |
| murlidhar | :) | 16:37 |
| MikeChelen | murlidhar, lol yep | 16:37 |
| jwo | fanno: normally drivers are included by default in ubuntu and all you need to do is enable them if they are not already enabled. but in windows yes you always have to install them | 16:37 |
| fanno | jwo: it could be,"scanning the mirror" i am not good at translating in danish its gennemsøger filspejlet, "searching throw file mirror" i think | 16:37 |
| jwo | fanno: you should try installing with ethernet cable | 16:37 |
| jwo | fanno: that is it | 16:37 |
| MikeChelen | eurythmia, depends which sites work, if even 1/2 do it would be worthwhile | 16:38 |
| jwo | fanno: if your connection is slow like me it can take 30 minutes | 16:38 |
| fanno | jwo: it is not wireless | 16:38 |
| jwo | fanno: maybe slow connection | 16:38 |
| fanno | jwo: i have a 15/2 conection =/ | 16:38 |
| jwo | fanno: are you using the same computer for IRC as the install? | 16:38 |
| thebluechild | Hi can i have some help with my cdrom drive it wont show up at all? =( | 16:38 |
| eurythmia | MikeChelen, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ ... apparently youtube and lulu are now supported. | 16:38 |
| fanno | jwo: no this is my main pc installing it on my 2nd box first then once i have that working i planed on killing this box ( vista ) | 16:39 |
| jwo | eurythmia: it is now at it's second beta | 16:39 |
| jwo | fanno: we need more information | 16:39 |
| eurythmia | jwo, I think last time I used it, gnash was still in alpha | 16:39 |
| jwo | eurythmia: is has come a long way recently | 16:40 |
| jwo | eurythmia: but still a while off | 16:40 |
| bcairod | is there any way I can check why my install isnt working thru the command line | 16:40 |
| eurythmia | jwo, I think I might check it out when I get home. | 16:40 |
| fanno | jwo: ya i guessed that, what kind of info you needing ? | 16:40 |
| helper | is tripwire using key site and local key not encrypted in ubuntu ? | 16:40 |
| Brack10 | Hey | 16:40 |
| verma | hey guys :) ... check this out: http://www.soundc.de/gmail-notifier/ | 16:40 |
| fanno | jwo: not like i can turn off the pc now can i ? | 16:40 |
| jwo | fanno: computer details, specifically is it dual boot etc.? | 16:41 |
| jwo | wait | 16:41 |
| Brack10 | Trying to configure a pptp VPN in Jaunty to connect to a Windows box and I'm getting an authentication failure. Can't find any guides with current info. Anyone know how to configure to authenticate properly? I'm positive the credentials are correct | 16:41 |
| jwo | depends what is on your pc | 16:41 |
| jwo | if you can deal with severe data loss then yes (unlikely but we must be careful) | 16:41 |
| Pici | verma: Please don't advertise in this channel. | 16:41 |
| jwo | eurythmia: i heard that while in the alpha stage youtube just looked like a "blob" | 16:41 |
| verma | Pici, is there an announcement list where I can "advertise" ? | 16:42 |
| jwo | eurythmia: a "blurry blob" | 16:42 |
| jwo | verma: no | 16:42 |
| bcairod | my comp is a dual boot...i can boot into 9.04 but it will not load kde completely | 16:42 |
| jwo | verma: cease and decist, you must comply with GPL v3 | 16:42 |
| eurythmia | jwo, when I used it youtube actually had a warning to say "your flash player is out of date" ... but that's because it checked against the version string, not for support of certain calls (which is a crappy way of doing things, if you ask me). | 16:42 |
| tvoet_ | anyone notice a change in Remote Desktop since a jaunty upgrade | 16:43 |
| tvoet_ | i used to use VNC over SSH to my home computer, but since my jaunty upgrade i can no longer log in | 16:43 |
| jwo | eurythmia: youtube is founded on closed-source proprietary flash, what do you expect? | 16:43 |
| fanno | jwo: it's amd 64, athlon( dont remember prosesor speed ) 3 gb ram, 250 GB disk with 3 partitions ( dual boot with vista and data on the 3rd partition ) | 16:43 |
| tvoet_ | anyone have any ideas of where to look? | 16:43 |
| jwo | fanno: big problems coming your way | 16:43 |
| jwo | fanno: what have you done for preparation? | 16:44 |
| Pici | verma: Take a look at https://lists.ubuntu.com/ perhaps? Or maybe the forums have a spot for it? | 16:44 |
| jwo | fanno: the boot files for vista will be severly corrupted if you have specified to overwrite your MBR with grub | 16:44 |
| fanno | jwo: i used the installer to create ubunto partition next to vista if that is what you mean ? | 16:44 |
| === thebluechild is now known as thebluechild_ | ||
| jwo | that is ok | 16:45 |
| jwo | but you need more preparation specifically for vista | 16:45 |
| jwo | are you familiar with what a master boot record is? | 16:45 |
| fanno | jwo: ya its where linux install the dual boot aplication right ? | 16:45 |
| eurythmia | jwo, nothing less, really ;) | 16:46 |
| ed_debian | fanno, When you install ubuntu on any harddrive regardless of the partition size you must change the MBR (master boot record). This is a small portion of the disk that runs a program called the boot loader. Every OS has a boot loader. Linux boot loader is grub | 16:46 |
| ed_debian | The ubuntu installer does this for you | 16:46 |
| jwo | fanno: yes | 16:46 |
| ed_debian | Vista DOES NOT like to have it's MBR messed with | 16:46 |
| ed_debian | because vista is a big wuss | 16:46 |
| eurythmia | ed_debian, the default bootloader for ubuntu linux is grub. *The* Linux boot loader is LiLo | 16:47 |
| eurythmia | ;) | 16:47 |
| jwo | fanno: Vista does not have a conventional MBR, so you need to in the last step of your ubuntu installation click on the "Advanced" button and select to not install Grub | 16:47 |
| ed_debian | touche | 16:47 |
| fanno | jwo: well really i wanted to just overwride vista all togathe, but i did not have that option in the installer ( i need to keep that data disk ) | 16:47 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: you have any experience with Remote desktop over SSH? | 16:47 |
| tvoet_ | mine used to work before the jaunty upgrade | 16:47 |
| coz_ | grub is more configureable than lilo | 16:47 |
| verma | Pici, thanks :) .. I just want a few people to run it so that I could discover those hidden bugs :) .. I will check the lists | 16:47 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_, I used to do a VPN tunnel over ssh. | 16:47 |
| jwo | fanno: then later you can use easybcd from vista to add it to the vista bootloader | 16:47 |
| ed_debian | fanno, Well if you don't plan on booting vista ever again then it really doesn't matter | 16:47 |
| verma | jwo, what do you mean? .. why GPL v3? | 16:47 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_, but it's been a few years. | 16:47 |
| jwo | fanno: what are your partitions? have you ever tried linux before? | 16:48 |
| jwo | verma: RTFM lol | 16:48 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia, ok. i was doing the same thing, only for VNC, but for some reason i can't connect anymore. | 16:48 |
| murlidhar | verma: it depends on gnome-panel? the screenshots show me like that | 16:48 |
| ed_debian | fanno, You can get your data off the ntfs (windows partition) you just need to configure a little and get a package. Yes have you ever used linux before? | 16:48 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_, sorry, I got my acronyms messed up ... VNC over ssh | 16:48 |
| jwo | verma: GPL v3 = the 3rd revision of the GNU Public Licence | 16:48 |
| macvr | verma: i missed the "ad" , links to your work? | 16:48 |
| awilkins | jwo: Meh? I never had a problem with Vista and Ubuntu coexisting, it just configures it properly in my experience | 16:48 |
| crawler3 | schambers i'm back, dont know whats going on i lost my nickname 2 times now | 16:48 |
| verma | jwo, as far as I know .. I think I can choose which license I want to distribute the software under. | 16:49 |
| awilkins | jwo: Windows always nukes grub though | 16:49 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia, yeah it happens. mine was working right up until the upgrade to jaunty. | 16:49 |
| fanno | jwo: 120 gb vista /30 gb ubunto /last for data | 16:49 |
| jwo | awilkins: do you have ntfs or fat? | 16:49 |
| awilkins | jwo: NTFS | 16:49 |
| ed_debian | awilkins, I know there were huge problems with 8.04 and 8.10. Did you install 9.04? | 16:49 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: i can still ssh into the machine from where i am, but no go on the VNC | 16:49 |
| jwo | verma: i was joking, but seriously you shouldn't advertise here | 16:49 |
| awilkins | ed_debian: I installed 8.04 and distr upgraded twice | 16:49 |
| verma | macvr, its not really an ad .. its the page for a new gmail-notifier I am working on for ubuntu | 16:49 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_, what command do you use to run the tunnel? | 16:49 |
| fanno | ed_debian: well i have not used linux as a desktop, i have a qnap file storage server with linux on it. thats about it | 16:49 |
| ed_debian | fanno, What is qnap? | 16:50 |
| macvr | verma: ok... nevermind... | 16:50 |
| jwo | awilkins: my mate recently set up a quadroople boot of vista 32-bit/vista 64-bit/win7 rc1 64-bit/ubuntu64-bit and he totally destroyed the boot files | 16:50 |
| verma | jwo, oh ok :) .. but well I just wanted some people to use it :) ... but alright .. I will look at other places to get some people to try it out. | 16:50 |
| jwo | awilkins: corrupted that disk | 16:50 |
| jwo | awilkins: don't know how | 16:50 |
| fanno | ed_debian: this one : http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=79 | 16:50 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: ssh -N -T -L 5901:localhost:5900 myuser@host.com | 16:50 |
| thebluechild_ | does anyone know how i can get my cdrom to show? it wont mount? | 16:50 |
| jwo | verma: well if you can give UBUNTU users a good non-for-profit reason to check it out then go ahead | 16:51 |
| elad | ` | 16:51 |
| elad | Sorry. | 16:51 |
| === elad is now known as elad` | ||
| ed_debian | fanno, It's a brand! lol not an acronym | 16:51 |
| macvr | verma: u can post in the forums about a new software | 16:51 |
| murlidhar | verma: i thnk the better place would be ubuntu-offtopic :) | 16:51 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_, is the remote VNC server running? Is your VNC client configured to use the right port? | 16:51 |
| fanno | ed_debian: sorry =/ | 16:51 |
| murlidhar | verma: yes u post in ubuntuforums.org | 16:51 |
| jwo | eurythmia: sun-java6-plugin depends sun-java6-jre :( | 16:51 |
| ed_debian | fanno, So the question is. Do you want to boot vista again after you install ubuntu? (That's ok you didn't do anything wrong) | 16:51 |
| verma | murlidhar, it doesn't directly (in the sense that its not an applet) ... if you have a notification mechanism you should be fine ... 9.04+ only though :) | 16:52 |
| murlidhar | verma: i am u will get good feedback there | 16:52 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: i have to double check, but it was working fine until i upgraded to jaunty | 16:52 |
| eurythmia | jwo, sorta figured. | 16:52 |
| murlidhar | sure* | 16:52 |
| verma | macvr, murlidhar alright .. thanks guys :0 | 16:52 |
| verma | :) | 16:52 |
| jwo | ed_debian: i think we've converted him, doesn't seem like he wants to...? | 16:52 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_, the problem may be that when you upgraded your configuration was overwritten | 16:52 |
| dergringo | Hi. I have two ubuntu jaunty clients in the network here. But they are not able to ping local devices by using the FQDN (ping: unknown host gateway.home.local). BUT the do correctly relove the hostname into ip. And they are able to ping the resolved ip. My two debian machines can ping the FQDNs and all devices use DHCP. So what's wrong here? | 16:52 |
| ed_debian | jwo, Just makin' sure | 16:52 |
| fanno | ed_debian: no i dont really care. the vista has a 30 day trail period anyway i only have one lisence | 16:52 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: i'll check. | 16:52 |
| jwo | ed_debian: no troubles bubbles | 16:52 |
| jwo | verma: so what does your software do? | 16:52 |
| ed_debian | fanno, O, have fun with ubuntu then! | 16:52 |
| fanno | ed_debian: thats why i wanna install linux =), i was toled that ubunto was one of the more easy ones | 16:53 |
| jwo | fanno: how is the install going? | 16:53 |
| verma | jwo, its a cooler looking gmail notifier .. like the one on mac os x :) .. you should check out the page :). | 16:53 |
| ed_debian | fanno, Eh, that's all subjective | 16:53 |
| fanno | jwo: it still at 82% | 16:53 |
| jwo | fanno: ubuntu is most likely the more easy one, perhaps only topped by linux mint | 16:53 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: do you know where the config file is ( command line, since i can only ssh into the box for now ) | 16:53 |
| tvoet_ | ? | 16:53 |
| pipegeek | Quick question---how do I switch the console keymap? Somebody installed this machine with dvorak, and I don't know dvorak | 16:53 |
| jwo | verma: i mite do... | 16:53 |
| fanno | ed_debian: indeed it is, i am a programmer and work with c++ and php ect but not a pro by long shot | 16:54 |
| thebluechild_ | can anyone help me mount my cdrom on ubuntu?? | 16:54 |
| eurythmia | tvoet_, no, I do not; you'll have to find that yourself. I suspect it's somewhere in /etc | 16:54 |
| thebluechild_ | it wont auto mount | 16:54 |
| jrib | pipegeek: haha :) sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data | 16:54 |
| ed_debian | fanno, Some people think though that linux mint holds you by the hand to much and you don't learn anything. | 16:54 |
| tvoet_ | eurythmia: i'll look. thanks | 16:54 |
| jrib | pipegeek: haha :) sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup (sorry) | 16:54 |
| pipegeek | jrib: thanks :) | 16:54 |
| jwo | ed_debian: i could say the same about gentoo, it's all relative | 16:54 |
| fanno | jwo: is there a command pomt i can bring up and skip the searching file mirror ? | 16:54 |
| jwo | ed_debian: mint can't be much worse than ubuntu | 16:54 |
| jrib | pipegeek: though I'd argue learning dvorak would be a better solution | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jwo: i found mint not worth bothering with. | 16:55 |
| ed_debian | jwo, The complaint was referring to the slew of "minty tools" idk I've never used mint | 16:55 |

| vbgunz | I've asked this question about 5 times in the last few days. it seems no one has a clue (including myself)... why is it in 9.04, saving a file in vim can cause a freeze of vim for about 6 to 7 seconds? | 16:55 |
| baobab95 | yop yop | 16:55 |
| fanno | jwo: hehe ok i thought you were 1337 ! =P | 16:55 |
| jwo | ed_debian: i've never used mint but i'd be more comfortable recommending mint to a non-linux user who is interested in trying it out | 16:55 |
| baobab95 | chui new user sur irc | 16:55 |
| ed_debian | I think that ubuntu's best attribute is that it has very strong leadership thanks to Shuttleworth. A lot of distrobutions have fighting between the developers | 16:55 |

| suikay | no idea | 17:30 |

| aboSamoor | Hi, I am using VirtualBox with ubuntu 9.04 as host and XP as guest . Printing using XP is very slow. I am using network printer, It is not slow when I am using normal XP, any ideas ? | 17:36 |
| Machtin | guess if i upgrade to 9.10 i won't be able to downgrade again? | 17:36 |
| eseven73 | !downgrade | Machtin | 17:37 |
| ubottu | Machtin: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 17:37 |
| jrib | Machtin: yes, and 9.10 does not exist until october | 17:37 |
| Machtin | there's alpha :o | 17:37 |
| thebluechild_ | sipior, opps nop | 17:37 |
| jrib | Machtin: that's karmic until october :* | 17:37 |
| thebluechild_ | sipior, ls: cannot access /dev/sr0: No such file or directory | 17:37 |
| sipior | aboSamoor: part and parcel of running virtual machines. they'll generally be slower than the "real" thing. | 17:37 |
| === silver is now known as Guest28427 | ||
| Machtin | pardon! | 17:37 |
| Machtin | :) | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | aboSamoor: Ubuntu as host, XP as guest, yes that's the way it should be really, if having Windows so :) at that. However regarding your issue I don't think many people that come here print from an XP Ubuntu guest in Virtualbox, as a result give #vbox a try and good luck | 17:37 |

| matrixblue | hey all | 17:38 |
| Zargo | hello am trying to install "Linksys wusb100" pen usb wifi adapter .... I am reading tutorials that i need the drivers + ndiswrapper ... problem is jaunty 9.04 doesnt have ndiswrapper so how to install it? | 17:38 |
| thebluechild_ | nothing | 17:39 |
| aboSamoor | sebsebseb: my friends have windows, I want to print using virtualBox because the linux driver to my network printer is not working. Thanks, I am already there | 17:39 |
| caty | sebsebseb, i just want to know more mind maping programs | 17:39 |
| matrixblue | I have Ubuntu Jaunty install and decided to play with KDE so I install kubuntu-desktop. Everything works fine but I can't seem to figure how to get the wireless connected. It works fine with my Gnome session | 17:39 |
| Rawz | is there a way t find out specific what (hd0,0) or (hd1,2) windows is laying on so i can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst correctly to get windows working again ? | 17:39 |
| sebsebseb | caty: I don't know | 17:40 |
| thebluechild_ | sipior, nothing sorry | 17:40 |
| Rawz | i know windows is on /dev/sda3 | 17:40 |
| Rawz | but how do i know what title it got like (hd1,2) ? | 17:40 |
| sipior | thebluechild_: nothing? you were able to install ubuntu with the live CD, right? | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Rawz: the grub shell has drive completion featurtes and can show what it sees where. | 17:41 |
| imbezol | Rawz: how many harddrives do you have? | 17:41 |
| Rawz | 3 | 17:41 |
| erUSUL | Rawz: sda3 == (hd0,2) | 17:41 |
| thebluechild_ | yup | 17:41 |
| Rawz | thank you | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Grub basics is worth learning. :) | 17:41 |
| Guest28427 | ndiswrapper is on 9.04... just scroll down to "N"s and look for it. | 17:41 |
| Zargo | Does jaunty come with ndiswrapper? | 17:41 |
| caty | sebsebseb, er if you dw then why did you rely to my question in the first place? | 17:41 |
| thebluechild_ | sipior, yea i used the live cd | 17:41 |
| n7e1c4a | msn | 17:41 |
| Zargo | Guest28427, : am typing sudo ndsiwrapper and its showing command not found | 17:41 |
| Rawz | now of to reboot to see if it works | 17:42 |
| frostburn | Zargo, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 17:42 |
| thebluechild_ | sipior, and then did the update to ubuntu 904 | 17:42 |
| imbezol | Rawz: they're numbered in the order they are detected, though you can change the order however you like with /boot/grub/device.map | 17:42 |
| Zargo | frostburn, : am not connected to the internet | 17:42 |
| Guest28427 | dont type.. just scroll down till you see it. =) | 17:42 |
| frostburn | it's a kernel module, not a program you may execute | 17:42 |
| Rawz | appriciate all u guys help Dr_Willis , imbezol , erUSUL | 17:42 |
| Zargo | Guest28427: scroll ? where? in terminal | 17:42 |
| Guest28427 | im on 9.04 and it's there. | 17:42 |
| frostburn | Zargo, use an ethernet cable? | 17:42 |
| erUSUL | Rawz: grub number things from 0 so the third partition is 2 the first disk is 0 (sda for linux) | 17:42 |
| Rawz | oh so like /dev/sda1 is hd0,0 ? | 17:43 |
| Guest28427 | scroll in synaptic package manager. | 17:43 |
| Zargo | frostburn: dont have one.. i am trying to install linksys wusb100 usb wifi adapter | 17:43 |
| erUSUL | Rawz: exactly | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Rawz: A++ first try! | 17:43 |
| imbezol | Rawz: usually.. not always | 17:43 |
| Zargo | Guest28427: would it install automaticlaly or do i need internet? | 17:43 |
| imbezol | Rawz: linux and grub don't always detect the devices in the same order | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Rawz: grub skips the optical drives also. :) | 17:43 |
| Guest28427 | you'll need net. | 17:43 |
| sipior | thebluechild_: might be useful to try burning a 9.04 CD, and boot from that. then check what device it thinks the cdrom is (using "df" or "mount"). also, try "dmesg | grep -i CD" while running the live CD. | 17:43 |
| person2 | Hello - I'm trying to help my friend to get decent performance with an intel 945 graphics chipset. He had good performance in the past, which deteriorated as he upgraded. | 17:43 |
| frostburn | Zargo, it's not installed by default, you'll need to connect to a repository and download it, or download it, put it on a usb key and install manually | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | Rawz: imbezol grub allways floows bios detection | 17:44 |
| Zargo | Guest28427 : this is retarded.. i dont have net.. and i need the ndiswrapper to install the usb wifi linksys adapters | 17:44 |
| Rawz | o i c , atleast ubuntu is better then windows in many ways, untill i understand winE fully i delete windows from comp | 17:44 |
| imbezol | erUSUL: yes, but linux doesn't | 17:44 |
| person2 | I wrote some instructions for him to downgrade his driver, which I have posted here. Are they sane? http://pastebin.com/d69c8c1a3 | 17:44 |
| frostburn | Zargo, how are you connected to irc then? | 17:44 |
| Zargo | witht his wifi.. ill use a usb key but thats retarded for it not to be loaded | 17:44 |
| ikonia | Rawz: it's a different OS - not better/worse - different, how you like it is down to you | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | imbezol: i know just clarifying | 17:44 |
| Zargo | when alot of wifi require it | 17:44 |
| Zargo | its backwards | 17:44 |
| thebluechild_ | i can't burn a cd without my drive =( | 17:44 |
| Guest28427 | maybe you can get it seperatley from net? | 17:44 |
| sipior | thebluechild_: you've no other computer? | 17:45 |
| ikonia | Zargo: if your card isn't supported out the box, there is little ubuntu can do to make it out of the box working if ndiswrapper is required | 17:45 |
| Rawz | i like ubuntu, its faster , safer, and if a program freeze like lets say firefox it does not jack up whole computer it just freeze out that program but i can still keep on working | 17:45 |
| Rawz | while in windows explorer freezes comp is dead | 17:45 |
| imbezol | Rawz: easiest way is to reboot into grub, hit e to edit your kernel line, delete back to the (hd part, hit tab to see what numbers are available.. say it shows hd0 hd1 and hd2.. try typing hd0,<tab> again to see what partitions are there, then even type out the whole (hd0,1)<tab> or whatever partition you want to try to see a list of files there. | 17:45 |
| thebluechild_ | ohh wait yea my sisters is at my place | 17:45 |
| thebluechild_ | yay | 17:45 |
| sipior | thebluechild_: or perhaps a windows boot for the laptop? | 17:45 |
| ikonia | Rawz: as I said - it's different, linux can hang just as easy an ubuntu | 17:45 |
| ikonia | Rawz: just as easy as windows I mean | 17:45 |
| Zargo | frostburn : how to get ndsiwrapper ? | 17:46 |
| ikonia | !ndiswapper | 17:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ndiswapper | 17:46 |
| Rawz | prolly, the litle i know about linux i like way more then i've been using windows for many many years | 17:46 |
| imbezol | ikonia: the difference being you can change a config file and fix linux.. windows you're like wtf now | 17:46 |
| Zargo | frostburn : package manager can auto isntall it but how do i get the source or .deb | 17:46 |
| ikonia | imbezol: no you're not | 17:46 |
| eseven73 | yep, linux has locked on me a bit more times than Id care to admit. Although less lockups than Windows for sure | 17:46 |
| Rawz | just recetly started to put my mind into linux like 3 months ago | 17:46 |
| thebluechild_ | sipior, windows boot? | 17:46 |
| Rawz | so im a baby in linux world :D | 17:46 |
| Guest28427 | ok my turn to get some help.. =) i have a brasero .toc and .bin, how do i mount them without needing to burn them to disc? | 17:46 |
| ikonia | imbezol: you can fix/not fix ust as easy, please also try to control your language, we know what wtf means and don't need to see it | 17:46 |
| sipior | thebluechild_: thought you might be dual-booting your laptop. | 17:47 |
| ikonia | Guest28427: bin files are binary | 17:47 |
| imbezol | ikonia: well i guess that's your opinion | 17:47 |
| nikin | hy... i installed ubuntu-netbook remix but switched to xubuntu classic desktop later.. the problem is that the applications still start maximized... how can i make the system start the apps in normal size? | 17:47 |
| thebluechild_ | sipior, ohhh nop its 100% ubuntu | 17:47 |
| Guest28427 | ikonia: how can i mount it? | 17:47 |
| erUSUL | Guest28427: probably mounting it as if it was an iso file would work | 17:47 |
| ikonia | Guest28427: I'm not sure you can mount binary files, | 17:47 |
| Zargo | So how to get ndiswrapper sources into usbkey? | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Guest28427: run "file" against it see what it says | 17:48 |

| thebluechild_ | sipior, thank you very much for all your help ill be back later when i get the cd | 17:49 |

| risa | hi | 18:01 |
| boss_mc | BurningSebra: your fstab looks right, try unmounting all the ntfs drives and doing sudo mount -a | 18:01 |
| Gutly | jrib: I dont use gnome or kde... it's under wmaker... | 18:01 |

| jrib | Guest79388: why? | 18:01 |
| boss_mc | Axz: you'll have to restart pulse after (pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D) | 18:01 |
| Axz | boss_mc, oke | 18:02 |
| boss_mc | Axz: it should say dropping root priveleges (or somehting like that...) | 18:02 |
| Guest79388 | there was someone looking for it. =) | 18:02 |
| boss_mc | Axz: stop all audio things first | 18:02 |

| Guest79388 | bye | 18:02 |
| boss_mc | Axz: or they'll probably crash... | 18:02 |
| BurningSebra | http://pastebin.com/m993c599 | 18:03 |
| boss_mc | BurningSebra: sure it's an ntfs partition? | 18:04 |
| jrib | BurningSebra: you should probably switch to uuid | 18:04 |
| Gutly | and I cannot find anymore the right topic about howto open nm-applet on cmd-line! | 18:04 |
| jrib | Gutly: take a guess? | 18:05 |
| BurningSebra | should be boss and what is that uuid? | 18:05 |
| ikey | Gutly: nm-applet & | 18:05 |
| Axel_rose | Afternoon... | 18:05 |
| ikey | CTRL-D | 18:05 |
| jrib | !uuid | BurningSebra | 18:05 |
| ubottu | BurningSebra: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 18:05 |
| jrib | BurningSebra: a way to identify your drives | 18:05 |
| boss_mc | BurningSebra: that is true | 18:05 |
| jrib | s/drives/partitions | 18:05 |
| BurningSebra | its a cellphone | 18:05 |
| Axel_rose | Im having issues with the windows of Nautilus.. | 18:06 |
| boss_mc | BurningSebra: you should use them, sometimes drives get relabelled then things break | 18:06 |
| boss_mc | !ask | Axel_rose | 18:06 |
| ubottu | Axel_rose: 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. :-) | 18:06 |
| ikey | Wow real busy in here lol | 18:06 |
| ibolmo | hey guys, i'm trying to use vsftp with a filezilla client, but i'm getting permission denied here's my conf: http://pastie.org/private/yxrkoflousjsthhumzfqfw | 18:06 |
| Axel_rose | Ok bodd_mc | 18:06 |
| Axel_rose | Ok Boss_mc | 18:06 |
| boss_mc | Axz: any luck? | 18:07 |
| Axz | boss_mc, still kinda laggy | 18:07 |
| frostburn | ibolmo, i've never configured vsftp before, but is chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list populated? | 18:07 |
| Axz | takes time to open, and with this system should be in sec | 18:07 |
| boss_mc | Axz: any improvement? | 18:08 |
| ibolmo | yeah | 18:08 |
| Axel_rose | The thing is, I dont know exactly how to say it... every time I start a window in Nautilus the window is without the outside part of it and I cant resize it, it takes the fullscreen... | 18:08 |
| ibolmo | \n delimited list of user names | 18:08 |
| ikey | Axel_rose: using Compiz? | 18:08 |
| Axel_rose | Yes ikey.. | 18:08 |
| frostburn | ibolmo, what does it say in /var/log/whateverthelogis | 18:08 |
| BurningSebra | crazy. now its all ok. i can delete my files. | 18:08 |
| ikey | Axel_rose: and emerald? | 18:08 |
| ibolmo | frostburn: is there a better ftp you know of? | 18:08 |

| Gutly | jrib: it doesnt work, i neeg to see the qt-interface | 18:09 |
| frostburn | ibolmo, yeah, sftp =p | 18:09 |
| boss_mc | BurningSebra: have you changed to uuid? | 18:09 |
| Axel_rose | Exactly once I installed the configure tool for compiz the Nautilus started with this behavior... | 18:09 |
| ikey | Axel_rose: go to CompizConfig Settings Manager | 18:09 |
| BurningSebra | boss_mc: no. but its ok now i can use the hdd | 18:09 |
| Axel_rose | Aham... | 18:09 |
| ikey | Axel_rose: disable "Window Decorating" | 18:09 |
| jrib | !doesn't work | Gutly | 18:09 |
| Axel_rose | Understood... | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Gutly: 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. | 18:09 |
| Axel_rose | Checking.. | 18:09 |
| ikey | ubottu: lol | 18:10 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 18:10 |
| * jrib chuckles... | 18:10 | |
| Axz | boss_mc, i turned off effect and problem is solved, kinda shame i have very high performances system but cant use any power of it... | 18:10 |
| ikey | I was waiting for that to be said | 18:10 |
| Raex93 | How do i downgrade Wine? I tried "sudo apt-get install wine=1.1.5" and i still cant get it to work. | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | Raex93: yeah you can't just download an older version from the repo | 18:10 |
| boss_mc | BurningSebra: I'd still advise it, it stop this happening in the future | 18:10 |
| jrib | Raex93: because version 1.1.5 is not in your repositories | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | Raex93: the latest version should be fine really though | 18:10 |
| boss_mc | Axz: you using onboard graphics? | 18:10 |
| Ahlee | Jaunty 64bit (server), i have a 4 drive software raid0 (/dev/md3), with lvm volume group (raid0) residing on top. I can create a logical volume, however when I format it my machine locks up (repeatable with both mkfs.ext3 and mkfs.ext4). Bad drives? The 4 disks comprising the raid0 are warmer to the touch than I normally like, however Im' not getting errors on the console regarding short reads or similar | 18:10 |
| ikey | Raex93: check apt sources | 18:10 |
| jrib | Raex93: apt-cache policy wine | 18:10 |
| ikey | I have the latest | 18:10 |
| BurningSebra | thanks boss_mc i will | 18:11 |
| Raex93 | The latest version doesnt work with what i want. I have already looked it up on a few places. | 18:11 |
| Axz | boss_mc, no Radeon HD 4850 1GB | 18:11 |
| Raex93 | It says that v1.1.5 is what i need. | 18:11 |
| boss_mc | Axz with which drivers? | 18:11 |

| ikey | jrib: That's what I was gonna ask, who decided to disable <CTRL><ALT><DEL> ubuntu or xorg? | 18:12 |
| boss_mc | ikey: that was xorg | 18:13 |
| ikey | boss_mc: yeah sorry didn't mean to got off topic | 18:13 |
| Axz | boss_mc, the drivers where installed on fresh ubuntu | 18:13 |
| ikey | Is anybody else baffled as to how you could accidently enable <CTRL><ALT><BACKSPACE> ? I am | 18:13 |
| thiebaude | ikey: it is offtopic, but it looks good | 18:13 |
| erUSUL | ikey: xorg | 18:13 |

| thiebaude | yw | 18:13 |
| jrib | ikey: no one. That's an xorg decision afaik | 18:13 |
| eseven73 | ikey, I agree, it's next to impossible to accidentally hit that key combo, but that's just my opinion | 18:14 |
| ikey | Hmm | 18:14 |

| ikey | boss_mc: Yeah, trying to move new users away from the windows philosophy has its ups and downs | 18:15 |

| eseven73 | Axel_rose, have you tried thunar? It's mainly for xfce, but it works in Gnome/KDE as well, sudo aptitude install thunar && thunar & disown | 18:21 |
| corey_ | I need the help of someone running a dual boot | 18:21 |

| boss_mc | Code-E: under rotate cube | 18:25 |
| ikey | corey_: use a live disc, mount the ntfs partition, copy to USB Stick | 18:25 |
| corey_ | ikey: I am almost finished writting the instructions | 18:25 |
| boss_mc | Axz: sounds like it's working... I don't know why compiz is so slow | 18:25 |
| ikey | Easiest recovery you ever seen | 18:25 |
| ikey | boss_mc: because it's compiz | 18:25 |
| ikey | its naturally slow | 18:25 |
| Axz | boss_mc, do i need to install full compiz packages? or something? | 18:25 |
| corey_ | ikey: yes... that is what i normally do for clients suffering from microsoft | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | corey_: :) showing them Linux recovery, where as the others wil probably do something that involves Windows | 18:26 |

| EHondaCivic|Work | i'm having a problem with my vaio FW series laptop. ubuntu 9.04 is my primary os (i dont have any other partitions) and everything works 100% except for my built-in microphone. i can plug in a mic into the front mic port and it works ok, but i really would much rather use the built-in mic, as it's much more convenient for skype. i've double and triple checked everything in alsa, and even added the option=vaio line in my conf. this is the only obstac | 18:26 |
| Axz | boss_mc, my bad i mean Compiz Fusion | 18:26 |
| Orange_v_Blue | I'm having many different problems relating to my upgrade to 9.04 (from 8.10). Some of these are settings screwing up, VLC deleted and won't re-install, "generic event extension" is missing (I have previously had issues with GTK engines missing for themes)... and probably more. I'm not sure what's going on, entirely, anymore. Anyone who could help, it will be entirely appreciated. Even if you just say "reinstall". | 18:27 |
| boss_mc | Axz: sorry, g2g dinner | 18:27 |
| corey_ | sebsebseb: The reason why my instructions involve ubuntu is that the prof has no idea that there are more than 2 operating systems | 18:27 |
| boss_mc | Axz: adios | 18:27 |
| ikey | Orange_v_Blue: reinstal | 18:27 |

| ikey | fanno: wipe the first one then reinstall | 18:28 |
| Axel_rose | Done. Issue with the Nautilus, I had to remove the visual effects to none and then add it which removed "Loose Binding"... | 18:28 |
| sebsebseb | corey_: ,but also some people have apps that they must run that are only made for Windows, and that won't work in a virtual machine | 18:28 |
| Orange_v_Blue | ikey: really? I was waiting for the smarta** answer I (essentially) asked for, but will that really be the most efficient way? | 18:28 |

| Axel_rose | Gracias!! | 18:29 |
| sebsebseb | corey_: sort your own screenshots out :) the Live CD idea the other guy gave was good | 18:29 |

The 4 disks comprising the raid0 are warmer to the touch than I normally like, however Im' not getting errors on the console regarding short reads or similar, and unfortuantely I put swap there so | 18:31 |

| Seer7 | yeah.. Velt just tired of having to repeat the same things over and over again in here.. to wait for some one to tell me to FIND a Tute and come back later. i am trying to Time manage. | 19:35 |
| ophthalmaximandi | i can't find Jaunty for ppc | 19:35 |
| ophthalmaximandi | here <http://ubuntu-cd.mirror.iweb.ca/jaunty/> | 19:35 |
| ophthalmaximandi | any idea? | 19:35 |
| hsn | hello | 19:35 |
| Seer7 | Is there ANY ONE in here who has some skills with setting up a sound system? I am in the 904 upgrade of Ubuntu. ALL sounds work except the OGG sounds for start up and log off. | 19:35 |
| Vlet | Seer7: yeah, but the thing is, that the chances of one person in here happening to be watching the channel and also knowing the answer to all your problems is slim. It's best to take advantage of the large base of knowlege in this channel as a whole. Personally, I've never had a sound card not work with ubuntu, so I don't know anything about working with them. | 19:36 |
| Seer7 | < is still a bit of a Noobe.. and needs some one to walk me through.. i have done all the tuts.. and gotten the general sounds , video, flash and all to work.. but its not giving me system sounds.. it was fine in 810.. its not My sound card.. tis a config conflict.. so.. maybe if some one could help me find that? | 19:37 |
| Seer7 | i will post any terminal out put things that some one asks for. but i havent the first clue on how to set this up. IT seems.. that it wont play files of OGG. but wave and such are fine. | 19:39 |
| fanno | nh2: i am now installing at again and at 82 % wating 30 minutes to see if it will time out.. how was it i kill the http thing you talk about ? if i press crtl + alt + f2 .. how do i get back to the install window again ? | 19:39 |
| mib_8ry27qgt | ctrl+alt+f7 I think | 19:40 |
| fanno | mib_8ry27qgt: was that for me ? | 19:40 |
| mib_8ry27qgt | yep | 19:40 |
| geev | i need to block wine to download update cos for every download i get problems to my applications running on wine can any 1 help me to do that | 19:40 |
| wahnfrieden | is there a way to get ubuntu to highlight the entire one-line text field the first time i click it to give it focus? like in firefox, when I click the URL or search field, I want to be able to start typing immediately. This is the behavior in windows, and I prefer it | 19:41 |
| Seer7 | is it just me.. is it true that in the past 6 or so times i have tried to get help in IRC.. that its the default for some one to just say.. Go read up? there are always many in here.. and rarely any who will do more than just say.. GO FIND It yourself..? | 19:41 |
| fanno | mib_8ry27qgt: ok thanks i'll try that in 30 min then =), wonder if i can get the kill thing to work kill -9 #PID correct ? | 19:42 |
| Seer7 | i am trying to get some one to actually look into what i am saying.. should i just assume this is really NOT the place for me to get help if i step into some thing out of my ability? | 19:42 |
| fanno | mib_8ry27qgt: asuming that i can use top command to locate the PID | 19:42 |
| mib_8ry27qgt | can't you ask on the forums? | 19:42 |
| leachim6 | so my virtual terms are broken on ubuntu 9.03 | 19:42 |
| leachim6 | how do I fix? | 19:42 |
| Pici | Seer7: Its particularly not busy today, you just need to be patient. Persue the other support methods if you want. | 19:42 |
| === customer is now known as linuxman410 | ||
| Seer7 | yeah.. been doing that for weeks.. and so far.. all i get on the Forums.. is look over this or that TUT.. and i have done so.. but none to help FIND the real issue. and IN here.. i dont rate.. so rarely does any one say anything besides.. we dont like the fact you use a wubi. | 19:43 |
| Pici | Seer7: Yes. Many people find support in here. Your problem seems to be quite odd. In fact, you're pretty lucky that most of your sounds are working. | 19:44 |
| ToM_de_ToM | Is there anyway in ubuntu u can run some sort of disk repair on a sony dvd recorder disk? | 19:46 |
| Seer7 | those SOUNDS are working because i spent hours and hours.. messing with it.. checking the TUTES and trying to install and uninstall parts in here.. i got all sounds except there is a confilct or issue with OGG files.. no LOG ON / OFF sounds. | 19:46 |

| Maveas | Hi guys | 19:51 |
| Seer7 | so far as i can see.. when i hit the Play on any OGG i get static like standing under a water fall. BUT all other files play just fine. i think it maybe having issues with who gets rights to play what.. but on start up.. there are NO sounds. IF i go into the sound config and find the Ubuntu theme for sounds.. and click there.. they all play . | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | Haraken: i wilol considere that to be a sever bug on the ftp server... | 19:51 |

| zarnick | ActionParsnip, I know I can, but grub works better to dual boot with win xp... | 20:30 |
| ophthalmaximandi | mac_mc: with usb, yeah i guess that's a better approach. where is doc for that? | 20:30 |
| abchirk | ActionParsnip, but it worked in 8.10... and I used the free variant | 20:30 |

| erUSUL | paulo39: you want file.php to file.php.html or file.php to file.html ? | 20:31 |
| zarnick | flintwingel, yes, I know, with the new UUIDs right? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswr: you need more than just chown to chown a file. Try: sudo chown -R $USER /media/disk | 20:31 |
| boss_mc | ophthalmaximandi: basiaclly you partition the usb into a partition for each OS, then create a boot partition in which you set up grub to switch between the OS's | 20:31 |
| ophthalmaximandi | boss_mc: found smth here: <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick> | 20:31 |
| Slart | paulo39: regular expressions.. or use "find" | 20:31 |
| paulo39 | for me its the same, but my first idea was file.php to file.php.html | 20:31 |
| jrib | paulo39: if you are not a regex magician you could do with some for loop magic | 20:31 |
| Slart | paulo39: there might even be some renamer apps out there | 20:31 |
| boss_mc | ophthalmaximandi: that will help with the first one, then you adjust the first to create the rest... | 20:31 |
| flintwingel | zarnick: yup... if you just type "blkid" at the command prompt it'll show you all your UUIDs | 20:32 |
| === brian_ is now known as kodekill | ||

| Pici | Seer7: I'm actually here, but thinking. I'm thinking that the pulseaudio userspace daemon isn't starting up fast enough for you to hear the login sounds. Why they sound like static when you actually play them is very odd, especially because you can play a normal ogg just fine. | 20:51 |
| Seer7 | ok then.. here goes.. hey gang.. i have an odd sound config issue.. where all things work.. exception of Log in / Log Off system sounds.. all OGG system sound files dont play.. but.. i can click on some and they play on own. some thing is wrong in my config. All others play well. | 20:51 |
| crdlb | ZykoticK9: oh oops :) | 20:51 |
| pliny_the_ill | Hi everyone! I just installed 9.04 on a Thinkpad T60p. Sometimes, when I'm typing a long command in the terminal, there seems to be a spontaneous "enter" keypress... my command executes when I'm halfway through typing it. Maybe I'm brushing the touchpad with my thumb? Anyway, does anyone have any advice on how I could diagnose this further? As is it's pretty tough to figure out. Incidence rate is <0.05. | 20:51 |
| _user_ | plz help me natilus uses 350mb of ram | 20:51 |
| Seer7 | yeah.. i think its a conflict on WHO gets to play what.. or maybe some sort of latency? | 20:51 |
| genii | Justin10ec: You might want to ask in #ubuntu-devel or in #ubuntu-motu | 20:51 |
| Jostein | hey | 20:51 |
| frojnd | Hello there. Is tehre a version of skype for ubuntu 9.04 ? | 20:52 |
| stickboy | is it safe to install a program from recovery terminal while trying to figure out what caused fsck to fail? | 20:52 |
| deco | pliny_the_ill, might be tap click | 20:52 |
| frojnd | !skype | 20:52 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 20:52 |
| Pici | Seer7: I remember seeing something about getting pulseaudio to startup before gnome started to do its thing, but I thought that was fixed before Jaunty's release. | 20:53 |
| pliny_the_ill | deco: Tap click is off. | 20:53 |
| Seer7 | pici.. there are just to many THINGS that i know nothing of in audio or sound.. the servers.. and such .. that i really just dont understand tobe able to change some thing.. without messing up every thing. | 20:53 |

| savid | I'm having this real effed up problem where I find that I can't click to focus any of my windows until I right click on the titlebar and then it focuses the window. Has anyone experienced this? | 20:54 |
| Pici | Seer7: I'm not too great at troubleshooting audio either. I wonder if theres something that you can modify in System>Preferences>Sessions (or is it called Startup now?) to make pulseaudio start before other stuff. I don't have a graphical system in front of me that I can test with, sorry. | 20:54 |
| Seer7 | it took weeks of messin arround just to get my flash sounds and mp3 files to play.. and be heard. installing.. uninstalling files.. apt getting and apt removing.. still new to that too. but we got it thus far.. with that ONE tiny problem. wont start up sound in system. there has tobe a kernel file missing or a config go awry. | 20:54 |
| Dataanti | god dam ubuntu D:< | 20:55 |
| deany | Seer7, have you tried disabling pulse? | 20:55 |
| Kalmi_ | savid, do you have desktop effect on? | 20:55 |
| Dr_Mirrage | how can I make something in /etc/init.d NOT start automatically but so that I have to do it manually? | 20:55 |
| savid | Kalmi_, yes, but I find the same thing happens when I'm only running metacity w/o compiz | 20:55 |

| SUPEROGT | Hi ppl, i have a problem with Bluetooth. I connected my antenna for using a BT Headset Motorola S9 and it didn't recognize it as headset so i installed blueman and upgraded bluez, now it recognize it as headset and connect correctly but i can't hear anything.

| === moe is now known as moe2345 | ||

| Kalmi_ | sandstrom, are you sure the ip is right? | 20:58 |
| sandstrom | no, thats an example | 20:58 |
| Seer7 | dataanti.. yes.. i am.. and deany.. yes.. it was fine in 810 for system sounds. i had to solve a conflict in 810 in my first week to get it to hear flash. but we solved that pretty fast. why? | 20:59 |
| sandstrom | I Found it. it was my firewall blocking connections from localhost to localhost | 20:59 |
| SUPEROGT | anyone have any idea about my bt problem ? | 20:59 |

| deany | Seer7, if its a real "problem" for you then revert to to 8.10.. I dont actually use any OGG files, as nothing I use supports it.. its all mp3.. | 21:00 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, My question is, can I make an account that I can control through VNC, like login times, and have a dynamic password, so that it's different every time? | 21:00 |
| SUPEROGT | well thanks anyway ppl, see you around. | 21:00 |

| tpaine | i updated to jaunty, but dont really like it for a few reasons, and was wondering if there was an easy way to revert back, or if i just have to reinstall it | 21:00 |

| kos-mos1 | melik yes just ad the depot | 21:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Mirrage, System / Admin / Services and uncheck Apache | 21:02 |
| melik | kos-mos1, so just add the mint repositories and install itt/ | 21:03 |
| hatter243 | ugliefrog, the thing that leaps out at me is that maybe in your home directory you have a file named "vlc-record-2009-05-01-09h32m25s-Streaming-.ps". Try "cd /" and then run the same command. | 21:03 |
| Seer7 | pici is a thinkin on it too.. but i guess my needs require a sound system geek and not a reinstall geek.. funny.. i have limits. to my knowing.. but all my friends call ME to come over and duel boot or install or wubi their systems.. you'd think id have this part down. | 21:03 |

| ubottu | rohit: 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 :) | 21:27 |
| rohit | ok ubottu | 21:27 |
| Kalmi_ | _16aR_, could you rephrase that question? :s | 21:27 |
| JoshuaP0x | !tab | 21:27 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:27 |
| JoshuaP0x | use !tab | 21:28 |
| _16aR_ | Kalmi_: I got "héhéhé", I want a command line which change "héhéhé" to "hhh", or better : "hehehe" | 21:28 |
| rohit | ubottu got any solution | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:28 |

| billybigrigger_ | deany::: checking out winff now, thanks, does it do batch encodes? | 21:29 |
| Flare183 | _16aR_: I know there is a way to do it, let me look it up | 21:29 |
| _16aR_ | Kalmi_: for sur, it's not only the "é" char, but too much of them (spanish html file) | 21:29 |
| _16aR_ | Flare183: I've looked with iconv | 21:29 |
| enzotib | _16aR_: echo "héhéhé" | sed 's/é/e/g' | 21:29 |
| _16aR_ | with //TRANSLIT, but it crashed when it worked on my file | 21:29 |
| Kalmi_ | enzotib, it's going to get messy :) | 21:30 |
| _16aR_ | enzotib: yes but I'm not only fed up with é, but with è, à, I with accent etc | 21:30 |
| Kalmi_ | _16aR_, why are you fed up with them? messed up character encoding? | 21:31 |

| _16aR_ | Kalmi_: yes, and I need to parse with xpath commandline utility | 21:32 |
| _16aR_ | which crashed because of that | 21:32 |

| deany | billybigrigger_, there are presets, you can edit or make your own | 21:33 |
| helo | is the 'recover' utility likely to work on vista partitions? | 21:33 |
| codeshepherd_ | i have a custom script in /etc/init.d/ ... I ran ... update-rc.d mountec2vol start 15 2 3 4 5 . start 47 S . start 35 0 1 6 ... now every time my server boots.. the script gets called twice.. can anyone tell me why it gets called twice ? | 21:33 |
| Kalmi_ | _16aR_, maybe you should be trying to solve the real problem... | 21:33 |
| billybigrigger_ | deany::: do you know how long i've been looking for a gtk frontend to ffmpeg? | 21:33 |
| Kalmi_ | _16aR_, can you send me one of thos xml files? | 21:34 |
| Kalmi_ | *those | 21:34 |
| deany | billybigrigger_, not long enough :) | 21:34 |
| _16aR_ | Kalmi_: I need to process bad formed HTML file, so I pass them into HTMLTidy, then, I need to extract only one part of information, so I use xpath, but every tools f*** the encoding somehow | 21:34 |
| billybigrigger_ | deany::: i didn't think there were any worth using | 21:34 |

I've tried to remove volumecontrol.app but I get message that this package isn't installed. I've tried to remove gnome-volume-control-pulse and I also get that this package isn't installed. So what would be the name of the default volumecontrol in ubuntu 9.04 g | 21:35 |
| eauria | Howdy folks! | 21:35 |

| Kalmi_ | _16aR_, the world actually seems a lot nicer when encodings are not fucked up :) | 21:38 |
| frojnd | Anyone know the name of package of the volume control in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 21:38 |

| _16aR_ | no ? | 21:44 |

| ray_seattle | Bonstra: I have a /boot, not sure if there is anything else, how to I find that out ? | 22:00 |
| losher | buttons840, what kind of filesystem is it? | 22:00 |
| stickboy | deany it's stuck on *will now restart and won't accept any commands | 22:00 |
| Kalmi_ | arthus, that doesn't sound okay... Can you pm me the output of "history | grep apt" ? | 22:00 |
| stickboy | deany do i risk a hard shutdown? | 22:00 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, do you have it yet? | 22:00 |
| deany | stickboy, reisub? | 22:00 |
| stickboy | deany didn't work | 22:01 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, just finished dl-ing | 22:01 |
| MK-ubuntu | xcdfgkjhgcv, I was wondering where I could find him in IRC.. | 22:01 |
| deany | stickboy, just cold boot it then | 22:01 |
| jihui_choi | xcdfgkjhgcv, what is it? sorry I can't find what I want. | 22:01 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, I still have 30 min | 22:01 |
| buttons840 | losher, it's fat32 | 22:01 |
| stickboy | deany ok i got it booting to livedvd now | 22:01 |
| TheOrignl | I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 in a virtual machine on VMware. How do I make a share on the host system available to Wine? | 22:01 |
| xcdfgkjhgcv | How do I remove the password for one of my users? | 22:01 |
| asd | busfahrer | 22:01 |
| * johnP_ feels like hes on the universal ignore list. | 22:02 | |
| deany | stickboy, what fs is it? ext3? | 22:02 |
| losher | buttons840, also, "t" is the sticky bit. Only valid for directories & executables I believe. Not even sure if it has any meaning on a fat32 fs | 22:02 |
| xcdfgkjhgcv | Kalmi_: I want to be able to login without entering a password but I don't want to login automatically. | 22:02 |
| Dudeeee34 | hi guys | 22:02 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: type mount and tell me is a device is mounted on /boot | 22:02 |
| dimedo | hi, i have problems starting ubuntu without a display connected. i'm getting a dialog, in which have to select if i want to go into low graphics mode. my target is, that the system starts up with a resolution of 1024x768 with or without display and without further user interaction because i need it to be accessible via VNC remotely. any ideas? | 22:02 |
| buttons840 | losher, let me try without that | 22:02 |
| nh2 | fanno: I think killing it twice was expected | 22:02 |
| stickboy | deany which option "Try ubuntu without any change" or "rescue a broken system" and yes ext3 | 22:02 |
| Dudeeee34 | I need help with 9.04 | 22:02 |
| losher | buttons840, what effect are you trying to achieve? | 22:02 |
| Paavi2_0 | !ask | Dudeeee34 | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Dudeeee34: 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. :-) | 22:02 |
| Kalmi_ | xcdfgkjhgcv, i wouldn't want that... sorry... i don't know | 22:03 |
| buttons840 | losher, well, i'm just learning permission, so i'm playing around with making a live usb read only | 22:03 |
| deany | stickboy, try rescue | 22:03 |
| Kalmi_ | arthus, ? | 22:03 |
| Dudeeee34 | Well my desktop effects worked perfectly in 9.04 without updates but then I updated and it says i can not be enabled. | 22:03 |
| ugliefrog | is there a program that will wipe all traces of a program like it never was installed. i keep trying to clear vlc off and reinstall but it still shows the same settings | 22:03 |
| deany | stickboy, if it only dumps you to a prompt then thats enough | 22:03 |
| buttons840 | losher, whither this server a purpose or not is irrelivent, i'm just experimenting | 22:03 |
| Kalmi_ | Dudeeee34, old ati card? | 22:03 |
| Dudeeee34 | No | 22:03 |
| arthus | Kalmi_: sorry, I'm typing this on my laptop, having trouble copying it over | 22:03 |
| Dudeeee34 | I have a built in laptop card mobile chipset | 22:04 |
| TheLifelessOne | holy crap there are a lot of people here | 22:04 |
| oc | i've tarnished my ruby | 22:04 |
| Kalmi_ | TheLifelessOne, :D | 22:04 |
| TheLifelessOne | lol | 22:04 |
| TheLifelessOne | :D | 22:04 |
| buttons840 | losher, you were right though, the t being applied to non-executables and non-directories appeared to be causing the error | 22:04 |
| losher | buttons840, then I would think you'd want chmod -R a=-w D/ i.e. turn off write on all files | 22:04 |
| oc | when i try to install it i am told it is already installed | 22:04 |
| Paavi2_0 | Dudeeee34: perhaps with integrated ati video chip? | 22:04 |
| TheLifelessOne | this is a tech support/general channel | 22:04 |
| TheLifelessOne | ? | 22:04 |
| losher | TheLifelessOne, for Ubuntu, yes | 22:04 |
| Kalmi_ | !offtopic | TheLifelessOne | 22:04 |
| Dudeeee34 | I don't think so. I will check | 22:04 |
| ubottu | TheLifelessOne: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 22:05 |
| TheLifelessOne | xool | 22:05 |
| TheLifelessOne | cool* | 22:05 |
| Dudeeee34 | Is ATI disabled now? | 22:05 |
| TheLifelessOne | sorry for the noobness | 22:05 |
| buttons840 | losher, thanks, you explained it well, i think i try some more things on my own | 22:05 |
| TheLifelessOne | never used IRC before | 22:05 |
| LargePrime | Greetings. I did some disk formatting in windows, and i think this confused grub. I eliminated a partition and i think this changed the partition numbers, so I CAN NOT boot ubuntu. I downloaded Supergrub .97 and have a boot disk. this lets me boot wintows (partition 0) but not ubuntu. What is the best way to fix this? | 22:05 |
| stickboy | deany it's doing some sort of hardware detection process | 22:05 |
| Kalmi_ | Dudeeee34, some old ati cards are no longer supported | 22:05 |
| losher | buttons840, my pleasure.... | 22:05 |
| arthus | Kalmi_: sent, http://pastoid.com/ayh | 22:05 |
| Dudeeee34 | Kalmi, Will I have to downgrade to 8.10 then? | 22:05 |
| Dudeeee34 | in 8.10 it worked perfectly | 22:05 |
| zxw | hi, ubuntu doesnt seem to be using all the space on the partition it is on however is complaining it is out of space, any way to encourage it to use the rest of the space on the partition? | 22:06 |
| losher | TheLifelessOne, noobs need the most support, you're in the right place] | 22:06 |

| frojnd | I'm gonna eat my nerves! The recording is doing allrigt, I can record and listen to my voice if I do arecord test.wav and than listen to it with mplayer... However when in skype (I've set all devices to pulse) When I do echo call the capture is decressing... no matter if I put it back it would decrease... as if skype wouldn't allow me to speak!!! Any ideas? I've browse throug forums but I can't find the proper solution :\ | 22:06 |
| ugliefrog | is there a program that will wipe all traces of a program like it never was installed. i keep trying to clear vlc off and reinstall but it still shows the same settings | 22:06 |
| Fishscene | zxw: Are you sure it is not the swap partition that's complaining? | 22:06 |
| Paavi2_0 | Dudeeee34: the desktop effects won't work with the older ati video cards/chips, bacause there's no binary driver for them anymore in the 9.04 | 22:06 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181540/ | 22:06 |
| billyboi | Hi all, I'm using 8.04 right now, I really want iPhone support, does 9.04 have that? | 22:06 |
| zxw | tbh im no expert on ubuntu | 22:06 |
| losher | zxw, show us the exact msg for starters | 22:06 |
| zxw | there meant to be a swap partition | 22:07 |
| zxw | well its really vmware complaining tbh | 22:07 |
| bc | geez, at the stupid sounds for everything in the gimp. can I disable sound just for gimp?! | 22:07 |
| oc | how do i go about fixing an install of ruby? apt-get check reports nothing wrong, apt-get -f install coems to no avail. apt-get (remove/purge) ruby says it's doing its job, but on apt-get install ruby, i am told that it is already installed | 22:07 |
| Fishscene | zxw: Is Ubuntu the host or the guest OS? | 22:07 |
| zxw | and when it open the properties of filesystem it has about 100mb left | 22:07 |
| zxw | think its host | 22:07 |
| frojnd | Oh I can hear the voice... als o if I go to preferences -> sound and sound capture -> test I can hear myself with alsa setting or pulse... WHat is going on? Why I can't record myself when using skype? | 22:07 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: I don't see an entry for /boot | 22:08 |
| === aquaratB is now known as aquarat | ||
| zxw | guest is when you are running ubuntu in windows right? | 22:08 |
| Fishscene | zxw: verify that you have enough physical hard drive space, then check the virtual drive and see if there is enough space. | 22:08 |
| Fishscene | guest = OS running in a VM | 22:08 |
| Fishscene | host = the OS that is running the Virtualization program. | 22:08 |

| zxw | gparted is saying there is unused space on the partition ubuntu is on | 22:08 |
| Paavi2_0 | frojnd: it's due to skype being difficult from what i've heard. there are some tutorials on how to work around that issue though, just google... | 22:09 |
| LargePrime | zxw: how much space | 22:09 |
| zxw | 20 gb used 36 unused | 22:09 |
| zxw | thought maybe there was a setting making it only use 20gb maybe | 22:09 |
| Fishscene | zxw: How much physical space is left on the hard drive itself? | 22:09 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: weird... Would you try "fdisk -l" ? | 22:09 |
| Russian | Anyone has a eReader? | 22:09 |
| cripps | Russian, what, like a kindle? | 22:10 |
| zxw | well unused is about 150gb but on the ubuntu partition 36gb | 22:10 |
| LargePrime | Russian: PDF reader, or lit, or other | 22:10 |
| Russian | cripps: yep like that | 22:10 |
| losher | LargePrime: do you have a live cd handy? That may be easiest | 22:10 |
| ray_seattle | Banstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181546/ | 22:10 |
| billyboi | Does the latest ubuntu have support for iphone? | 22:10 |
| zxw | the big partition has windows on it | 22:10 |

| madbuntu | ahh why am i laggg | 22:10 |
| Zzeiss | Anybody using Ubuntu on a Macbook Unibody? | 22:10 |

| Paavi2_0 | billyboi: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=iphone and ubuntu jaunty | 22:11 |
| Fishscene | zxw: Pardon my confusion. What are your physical machine's specs (OS, Total HD size, Free space left on HD), and what are your VM specs? | 22:11 |
| LargePrime | losher: i do | 22:11 |
| stickboy | deany it's taking quite a while on Retrieving partman-jfs | 22:11 |
| losher | LargePrime: ok, do you have the time. This may take a while... | 22:11 |
| TuxToaster | google shows me a few bug reports and forum threads about this exact issue, but none of them have been updated for weeks... anyone heard of the issue? know of any possible workarounds? | 22:11 |

| Russian | LargePrime: so yo have one? | 22:12 |
| TheOrignl | Does anyone know where the default mount point is in Ubuntu jaunty? | 22:12 |

| LargePrime | Russian: did you gooogle? | 22:13 |
| zxw | im now running ubuntu off the second partition | 22:13 |
| Russian | LargePrime: google what? | 22:13 |

| FabParma | How to change Sytem icons on desktop and modify the size? | 22:13 |
| eurythmia | TheOrignl, your question is very vague. Please be more specific. | 22:13 |
| zxw | it seems to only be using 20gb of that parition though | 22:13 |
| stickboy | deany it's asking for a root file system. /sda1 /sda2 /sda3 or do not use a root file system, i'm guessing none since we're trying to fix the fs? | 22:13 |
| zxw | and ignoring the rest of it | 22:13 |
| LargePrime | FatsDominoTheory: losher i have a live cd. is there instructions? | 22:13 |

| deany | stickboy, no dont use one | 22:14 |
| FabParma | Hi, please, how to change System icons on desktop and modify the icons size? | 22:14 |
| crawler | johnP_, i think httrack is a cli utility. there are frontends i'm sure. try WebHTTrack | 22:14 |
| stickboy | deany: execute a shell in the installer environment, choose a different root file system, or reboot the system | 22:14 |
| losher | LargePrime: I was thinking of walking you thru it. If you want to read up on it first (not a bad idea) go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub | 22:15 |

| stickboy | deany doesn't recognize sudo, running without. checking /sda1 atm | 22:18 |
| Fishscene | zxw: Pardon my confusion. Did you configure a virtual hard drive for the VM (manually setting a maximum size for the HD)? Or did you just tell it to use the partition on the physical hard drive? | 22:18 |
| losher | LargePrime: not really, since the Ubuntu stuff will most likely be on an ext3 type filesystem. You should be able to do it from the live cd though... | 22:18 |

| Kalmi_ | TheOrignl, yw | 22:18 |

| Kalmi_ | GuitarInc1, Mark Shuttleworth is behind it :) | 22:19 |
| stickboy | guitarInc1 i doubt shuttleworth is going to shut down canonical anytime soon, he has millions to pour into this and many foss friendly companies wouldn't let ubuntu go silently into the night, even if it did mean more share for their distros. ubuntu is here to stay. | 22:19 |
| zxw | i think the vm is a red herring | 22:19 |
| zxw | i probably shouldnt have mentioned it | 22:20 |

| antonius602 | MatBoy: what problems? | 22:21 |

| antonius602 | and what driver | 22:21 |

| Fishscene | zxw: If you have an 8GB hard drive for your VM, I can imagine that it would be filled quickly. Try configuring another VM with a larger hard drive size. When configuring the HD for VMware, de-select "Allocate all space now". And specify a larger hard drive size. | 22:27 |

| zxw | which is used to run windows inside of ubuntu so that you can play windows games etc | 22:28 |
| deany | stickboy, aside from formatting it. | 22:28 |
| zxw | perhaps ubuntu runs inside of a vm to start with | 22:29 |

| losher | GuitarInc1: no more so than any of the other hundred linux distros. There's almost nothing unique about Ubuntu other than look & feel, which are the easiest things to dispense with. The casual user could switch to Centos tomorrow & run gnome or kde, and probably not notice much difference -- maybe different versions of various packages... | 22:31 |

| losher | GuitarInc1: supposedly Ubuntu is more approachable. Part of that is better docs, better mailing lists and better GUIs, but it's still the same linux underneath, and often the same kernel. They have a long term stability release too. These aren't really technical differences so much as management/marketing... | 22:38 |

| ray_seattle | Bonstra where do I copy /boot to ? | 22:57 |
| tones | wow. such a multilingual community. | 22:57 |
| rockyrock | tones: no I found only sd* in /dev....I really find that strange cuz all my drives (hard disk, cd/dvd room) are connected to the motherboard using IDEs connectors | 22:57 |
| rockyrock | tones: do you an explanation for this? | 22:57 |
| rockyrock | tones: *do you have... | 22:58 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, Installing now... | 22:58 |
| tones | rockyrock: well i recall someone else saying the same. maybe the udev has changed and now ignores such a rule.. | 22:58 |
| ruler | when i put my pendrive in xp it is continueously showing autorun.inf can i remove it | 22:58 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: do I copy the /boot to /mnt/oldboot ? | 22:58 |
| ruler | in ubuntu | 22:58 |
| tones | ruler: delete it? :) | 22:58 |
| losher | equivoc, Kalmi_ : so then presumably ssh does a check whenever anyone connects to 8080 on the ssh client. I don't see how that leads to the symptoms described... | 22:58 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Create a "boot_backup" folder in your personnal directory and copy the files from /boot into it | 22:58 |
| ruler | tones avast is not deleting | 22:59 |
| Kalmi_ | losher, it's unreleated | 22:59 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Do NOT overwrite /mnt/oldboot | 22:59 |
| ray_seattle | ok | 22:59 |
| ray_seattle | hold on | 22:59 |
| tones | ruler: reformat the drive? | 22:59 |
| === Swiatecki is now known as swiatOFF | ||
| losher | equivoc, Kalmi_ : ok, try adding '-v' to your ssh command & see if it gives any clues | 22:59 |
| Kalmi_ | losher, *unrelated | 22:59 |
| ruler | tones thanks | 23:00 |
| tones | ruler: no worries | 23:00 |
| losher | equivoc, Kalmi_ : unrelated, but it triggers the symptoms :-) | 23:00 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Now it's backed up, delete everything in /boot so it's empty. | 23:00 |
| losher | equivoc, Kalmi_ : -v, and pastebin the output? | 23:00 |
| Kalmi_ | losher, oh... yeah... "-g" triggers it for me too.... | 23:01 |
| siloxid | how do I change my system-level tty fontcolor? the font that says "grub loading stage2" and "restarting system", etc. | 23:01 |
| helper | hello need help with this : i install yum on ubuntu give me this error : http://pastebin.com/m722dfcb2 how to fix it , thx | 23:01 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: copying, is this the right command ? cp -R /boot $HOME/boot ? | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | !yum | helper | 23:01 |
| ubottu | helper: Uh, don't you mean !apt ? | 23:01 |
| losher | equivoc, Kalmi_ : some new meaning of 'unrelated' I must be unfamiliar with then :-) | 23:01 |
| raylu | ray_seattle: ~ is short for $HOME | 23:01 |
| goal_lax | I tried locate .bash_profile but I did not find its location! Where I find it actually? Could you tell me? | 23:01 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, any idea of how long the intall takes? It's been about 10 min now... Also, is there only one version of Zencafe, and you select which will be the admin and which are clients? | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | siloxid: the 'console' colors can be tweaked with the proper printing of escape codes by the progrms.. but other then that.. not that easy to do. | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | helper: cool didn't know there was that factoid and indeed at it | 23:01 |
| ZeiP | Why am I getting errors for trying to use mysql_connect() in a CLI-run PHP script on Ubuntu Jaunty? | 23:01 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: done with copy | 23:01 |
| ray_seattle | wipe /boot ? | 23:01 |
| redrebel | i want to setup my ubuntu server to stream music, what software do you guys recomend? | 23:02 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, I have no idea :) | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | siloxid: and the 'grub loading...' is handled by grub.. i dont think you are going to be changing that. | 23:02 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, I haven't started installing yet :) | 23:02 |
| raylu | goal_lax: it's possible you don't have one. the default one is in /etc/skel and the global one is in /etc/profile | 23:02 |
| goal_lax | thanks | 23:02 |
| raylu | ZeiP: you're obviously missing some information | 23:02 |
| helper | sebsebseb, :P | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | helper: you can't exactly use yum in Ubuntu, don't you reolize this? | 23:02 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, well It's on part l right now, started at part a, so it shouldn't be too much longer | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | helper: yum is the Novell one, Ubuntu and Debian use apt | 23:03 |
| ZeiP | raylu, it tells me that the function is unknown. Assumably because there's no MySQL support for some reason in the CLI PHP. | 23:03 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Now you have a backup, type "rm -r /boot/*" to delete everything from /boot | 23:03 |
| goal_lax | is it .profile? I found .profile file inside /etc/skel/ | 23:03 |
| raylu | sebsebseb: yum is the *rpm one. novell/suse uses rpms, but smart, zephyr, etc are options for package management too | 23:03 |
| helper | sebsebseb, oh, well i'm reading in linux+ i saw it they specify fedora i though i can use it on ubuntu , thx :) | 23:03 |
| ray_seattle | done | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | !alien | helper | 23:04 |
| ubottu | helper: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 23:04 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Type "umount /mnt/oldboot" | 23:04 |
| ray_seattle | done | 23:04 |
| helper | i see | 23:04 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, sorry to continuously pester you, but I'm running this virtual machine on a Macbook Pro, the latest 15", so I'm wondering about the Nvidia chipset and linux. Fedora 10 didn't like the hardware too much, will this be any different? | 23:04 |
| sebsebseb | helper: would be good if a distro just supported all of those, but that's not how it works | 23:04 |
| FabParma | crawler: don't work | 23:04 |
| UntouchableMX | hi every 1 | 23:05 |
| nh2 | fanno: hmm I'm not sure what could cause your problem, but at least it is installed ^^ | 23:05 |
| pvvni | Howdy UntouchableMX | 23:05 |
| ZeiP | So, the question is how can I add MySQL support to my Ubuntu Jaunty php5-cli package? I confirmed with phpinfo() that there's no mention of mysql. | 23:05 |
| crawler | FabParma, you want to chenge the size of all the icons on your desktop? | 23:05 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, VMs don't see the actual GPU.... | 23:05 |
| nh2 | fanno: I'll have to go to sleep, I'm so damn tired | 23:05 |
| losher | equivoc, Kalmi_ : yep, me three. I see from '-v' that it starts a tcp listen on 0.0.0.0:8080. That's not what I expected. I thought it simply added a check when a new incoming connection is made. Bug or feature? | 23:05 |
| raylu | Anonymust: macbooks should be able to handle linux fine, though i don't have any personal experience with it. nvidia drivers are closed-source so there's no difference between the fedora one and the ubuntu one | 23:05 |
| UntouchableMX | thanks | 23:05 |
| Anonymust | North/south bridge chips are also Nvidia though. | 23:05 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: /boot wiped | 23:05 |
| ray_seattle | and unmounted | 23:05 |
| raylu | Anonymust: though, admittedly, it's harder to get non-free software (like the nvidia driver) in fedora, so maybe that's where you screwed up | 23:05 |
| Anonymust | raylu :^| | 23:06 |
| fanno | nh2: thanks | 23:06 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: did you umounted /mnt/oldboot ? | 23:06 |
| nh2 | fanno: see you later! | 23:06 |
| ray_seattle | yes | 23:06 |
| raylu | Anonymust: oh... it's a VM. nevermind | 23:06 |
| Anonymust | :) | 23:06 |
| raylu | Anonymust: the hardware is virtualized too | 23:06 |
| Kalmi_ | losher, equivoc: 0.0.0.0 is ok.... at least it is supposed to be... it means any address I can bind to... | 23:06 |
| mf_ | is it possible for grub to boot a cd-image from another pc? | 23:07 |
| Kalmi_ | mf_, wow.... thing are never simple :) | 23:07 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Wait a minute... | 23:07 |
| Kalmi_ | *things | 23:07 |
| ray_seattle | ok | 23:07 |
| Anonymust | Can OOo open/edit MS word documents? | 23:07 |
| ZeiP | Anonymust, yes. | 23:08 |
| tones | Anonymust yupp | 23:08 |

| redrebel | what is a good program to stream music out of a ubuntu machine?? | 23:08 |

| taz | i mena it wouldnt pop up | 23:08 |

| helper | sebsebseb, one more thing since i'm reading alot about linux and studying, if soundcard remove i want to reload it again how i can do it ? | 23:09 |
| mf_ | wildc4rd: thanks for the tip. i'll try to investigate. | 23:09 |
| sirninja | taz: it's pkill firefox | 23:09 |
| taz | how using for terminal | 23:09 |
| sirninja | that is for the terminal | 23:09 |
| equivoc | losher: right | 23:10 |
| raylu | helper: are we talking about the sound card's kernel module? | 23:10 |
| tones | taz, go to the ubuntu channel in your native language | 23:10 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_. Now my VM's telling me, after install and reboot "No bootable medium found! System halted." wtf? | 23:10 |
| Fishscene | redrebel: vlc | 23:10 |
| losher | equivoc: Kalmi_ : so we've found a cosmetic error, nothing more? | 23:10 |
| Shooree | how would I get Jaunty's sources.list into 8.10? | 23:10 |
| taz | no im english.. i have bad grammer sorry | 23:10 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: I added that line of code as the first line in /etc/fstab | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | helper: I don't do sound issues normalley | 23:10 |
| tones | Shooree: copy them? | 23:10 |
| raylu | redrebel: also consider icecast/shoutcast | 23:11 |
| Kalmi_ | losher, equivoc: you can make the error go away if do it like this: ssh -g example.com -L local_ip:8000:remote_ip:8000 -v | 23:11 |
| tones | Shooree: not reccomended though | 23:11 |
| myxo | If I filter my roommates MAC and IP address on the wireless router and put them on a "ban list" can they still access the wireless net? Wasn't sure if I would need to get them to reboot their PC or if the changes were instant. They're quite the bandwidth hogs. | 23:11 |
| Shooree | tones, yea, but I don't know the addy. I just want a painless install of a single updated thingy. | 23:11 |
| helper | raylu, yes | 23:11 |
| Fishscene | myxo: Changes should be instant. | 23:11 |
| raylu | helper: lsmod | grep snd, modprobe, and rmmod may help you | 23:11 |
| taz | that what it said.... Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. | 23:11 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: what is the 1 in that line do ? | 23:11 |
| tones | Shooree: i dont know what the thingy youre on about | 23:11 |
| helper | raylu, every driver like vga ,sound card ... have it's own kernal ? | 23:11 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Can you pastebin your /etc/fstab ? | 23:12 |
| ray_seattle | sure | 23:12 |
| myxo | Fishscene i think they are attached to another connection at the moment but I am utilizing that as backup if they start hogging all the upload speed, thanks Fishscene =) | 23:12 |
| Kalmi_ | losher, equivoc : actual example: ssh -g netcafe.cable.nu -L 192.168.0.56:8000:127.0.0.1:8000 | 23:12 |
| taz | it wouldnt open with firefox........ Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. | 23:12 |
| Shooree | tones, just a piece of software thats updated there | 23:12 |
| equivoc | Kalmi_: great | 23:12 |
| raylu | helper: kernel code can usually be compiled as modules or into the kernel. since ubuntu releases a generic kernel, almost everything is a module | 23:12 |
| equivoc | that's fine now | 23:12 |
| myxo | Fishscene would they still show as connected? | 23:12 |
| equivoc | thx a lot | 23:12 |
| sirninja | myxo, it might work better if you just change the wireless encryption though, because youc an spoof your mac address... I guess that depends on whether or not you think your room mate could do that | 23:12 |
| Shooree | tones, and I'm too stupid to do it the right way. | 23:12 |
| tones | Shooree: i still dont know what the thingy youre on about | 23:12 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, I guess I should start installing.. | 23:12 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181574/ | 23:12 |
| helper | raylu, i see, what about modprobe for what then ? | 23:12 |
| losher | taz: wow, that's almost as bad as being congratulated on your English... | 23:12 |
| FabParma | crawler: yes | 23:13 |
| raylu | helper: modprobe loads and unloads modules | 23:13 |
| Fishscene | myxo: Different routers operate differently. You may need to restart the wireless router. | 23:13 |
| Shooree | tones, it doesn't matter. I'd just like to know how to include Jaunty's repositories | 23:13 |
| Fishscene | myxo: The question is better suited in ##networking | 23:13 |
| tones | Shooree: just copy them, shall i send them? | 23:13 |
| helper | !modprobe > helper | 23:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe | 23:13 |
| helper | is there any link to read about | 23:13 |
| tones | man modprobe | 23:13 |
| raylu | helper: modprobe --help, man modprobe, lsmod | grep snd | 23:13 |
| myxo | fishscene oh sorry, thanks for the channel though =) | 23:13 |
| Shooree | tones, form where do I copy them? I thought it was something like http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu | 23:14 |
| Fishscene | NP | 23:14 |
| pepperjack | ubuntu | 23:14 |
| myxo | sirninja they didn't even know we needed a wireless router to broadcast our modem.... so i'm going to guess.... no haha | 23:14 |
| raylu | helper: currently loaded module names can be found with lspci -v | 23:14 |
| Shooree | tones, am I wrong? I thought it would be just like adding any other source list | 23:14 |
| tones | Shooree: just open your /etc/apt/sources.list and append the repositories you need | 23:14 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, what did you run it in? | 23:14 |
| myxo | sirninja i had been talking all weekend about how when my wireless router gets here we'd all have internet and it would be cool but until they we'd have to share a lame cable, as soon as the dude hooked up the modem the guys GF was like, oh yay so we have wireless now!!! i almost stabbed myself in the face. | 23:14 |
| scr1pt | Good evening all. | 23:14 |
| raylu | Shooree: you can download the deb from the repository and install it with dpkg | 23:15 |
| Shooree | tones, right. but where do I find the address? sorry for being dense. | 23:15 |
| tanto_ | i'm looking for a 1 liner that will prepend # to each line of a file, anyone have something? | 23:15 |

| ray_seattle | Bonstra: Ok, worked!! | 23:21 |
| UntouchableMX | ok, thanks ill try it | 23:21 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: So you should have your old kernel inside /boot now. | 23:21 |
| bernz | my 'NVidia MCP 51' integrated USB hosts are not working; the ports are powered, but that's it... not even kernel messages on device plugin; where to start with this? udev? is it time to contact Greg KH? :-) | 23:21 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: Yes | 23:22 |
| ryanT_ | hey i have a quick question if any1 has time? | 23:22 |
| raylu | !anyone | ryanT_ | 23:22 |
| ubottu | ryanT_: 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? | 23:22 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: Confirmed, old kernel now in /boot | 23:23 |
| bernz | PRO TIP: people who like to use the shell might want to try 'tilda'; a DOOM/QUAKE-like console shell (borderless) with single-hotkey pop-up/pop-away | 23:23 |
| bernz | ryanT_, you don't have to ask to ask, but go ahead :-_) | 23:23 |
| raylu | bernz: you mean "terminal" | 23:23 |
| tanto_ | awk '{print "#" $0}' filename ... is VERY close | 23:23 |
| raylu | bernz: yakuake is the same thing for qt | 23:23 |
| ryanT_ | hah bernz ok. I have a problem extracting a rar file | 23:23 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, reinstalling... :/ | 23:23 |
| bernz | raylu, sorry, terminal, yes | 23:23 |
| ryanT_ | bernz, when i extract it ( its a boat load of .jpg images) only two of them are successful | 23:24 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Now, copy into /boot all your up-to-date kernels (but DON'T copy the grub directory). | 23:24 |
| bernz | ryanT_, hmm... most archivers have a "test archive" function; you might want to try that, and it should tell you if there is damage | 23:24 |
| ryanT_ | bernz, ill look for it and report back to you | 23:25 |
| bernz | ryanT_, sounds good | 23:25 |
| losher | bernz: what does it mean for a shell to be DOOM/QUAKE like? | 23:25 |
| ryanT_ | bernz, cant find it =( | 23:25 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: done | 23:25 |
| raylu | ryanT_: you never told us what archiver you were using | 23:26 |
| bernz | losher, the look of it is like the console from those type of FPS games -- the window drops down from the top, no border, you use it, then press the hotkey, and it's away again.. for very quick shell commands | 23:26 |
| ryanT_ | raylu default ubuntu januty | 23:26 |
| bernz | losher, it's much faster than opening (or even switching to) a dedicated terminal app | 23:26 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: run "update-grub" and pastebin the resulting /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:26 |
| losher | bernz: right, got it thks | 23:26 |

| Sir-Integra | hey, when i turn my volume down, i get the window popup that shows the volume | 23:26 |
| Sir-Integra | how do i get rid of it? | 23:26 |
| Sir-Integra | since it causes fullscreen windows to close | 23:27 |
| java911 | how to make my system to play mp3? | 23:27 |
| raylu | bernz: not in my case. xmonad and other tiling window managers make it cheap to open a new terminal | 23:27 |
| ryanT_ | bernz, uhm.. how do i go about fixing it? | 23:27 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: and do not reboot now, menu.lst could be wrong. | 23:27 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, i think you should right-click on the sound icon in the top bar, then choose the prefs/settings | 23:27 |

| rabelais | can I make a usb port on my computer appear like a USB mass storage device to an attached USB host device? | 23:27 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: i did that command and it is asking me a question: What would you like to do about menu.lst? | 23:27 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, actually, no "open volume control..." | 23:27 |
| Sir-Integra | bernz, has no option for settings under preferences. | 23:27 |
| Sir-Integra | yea? | 23:27 |
| java911 | thx | 23:28 |
| ray_seattle | my options are: | 23:28 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Keep your local version. | 23:28 |
| ray_seattle | ok | 23:28 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, hm... i'm thinking of something else... must be a different way to do it... i'll think for a bit | 23:28 |
| raylu | Bonstra: er... shouldn't he take the updated version? | 23:28 |
| ray_seattle | done | 23:28 |
| Sir-Integra | bernz, okay. | 23:28 |
| thebrokenbox | wow I am so glad I fixed my laptop. | 23:28 |
| zhurai | question: how do I downgrade packages installed jaunty-proposed? | 23:28 |
| raylu | Bonstra: update-grub is run when the package maintainer updates grub or a new kernel is released, so it's a bit misleading | 23:28 |
| zhurai | *installed from | 23:28 |
| raylu | Bonstra: but keeping your local version after running that command makes no changes | 23:28 |
| Bonstra | raylu, for menu.lst, it should be ok. | 23:29 |
| raylu | Bonstra: the only thing update-grub updates is menu.lst, i thought | 23:29 |
| zhurai | question: how do I downgrade the packages installed from jaunty-proposed (to go from testing -> old settings/etc)? | 23:30 |
| camilonova | my ubuntu 9.4 does not use two cores of my processor, 8.10 was using it, anyone can help me??? | 23:30 |
| bernz | Bonstra, raylu... it's probably also a good idea to have (or burn) a bootable GRUB "rescue" disk (e.g. super grub disk or whatever) ... at least then you can get to GRUB, and from there, you can sort almost all snafus ;-) (just did this yesterday, though, luckily ended up not needing the disc) | 23:30 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, re | 23:30 |

| bluefox83 | i need help fixing the sound in firefox, no flash videos work with any kind of sound if i start up anything like amarok...it crashes the flash sound | 23:31 |
| raylu | camilonova: why do you think it isn't using both cores? | 23:31 |
| redhawk | I had a problem with 9.04 also | 23:31 |
| Kalmi_ | raylu,bernz: and usb is faster (assuming that your machine supports USB 2.0) | 23:32 |
| burvowski | Hi, since turning on "Norma" desktop effects (from no effects), doing almost anything in a fullscreen gnome app causes the desktop to flicker for a second. Rightclicking in full screen causes that, Alt + Tabbing causes that, etc...any ideas? | 23:32 |
| ScottG | Is there some way I could make rm not remove things but send them to the trash? I was thinking of making a "rm" alias and change it to mv somehow so it would just take the file or folder i removed and sent it to the location of my trash | 23:32 |
| camilonova | raylu: thanks, when i do 'more /proc/cpuinfo' it only appears one processor | 23:32 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: When I look at /boot/grub/menu.lst, I see my old kernel reference, not the new stuff | 23:32 |
| ray_seattle | I run the update command | 23:32 |
| raylu | !trasy | ScottG | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about trasy | 23:32 |
| camilonova | raylu: what else can i do, how i can test or activate it? | 23:32 |
| raylu | !trash | ScottG | 23:32 |
| ubottu | ScottG: 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 | 23:32 |
| bluefox83 | !sound | 23:32 |
| 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 | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | ScottG there are planty of examples on google | 23:32 |
| raylu | ScottG: there is rm -i and rm -I, though | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | ScottG: do a bash function that moves the file to trash | 23:33 |
| Kalmi_ | !info safe-rm | ScottG | 23:33 |
| ubottu | ScottG: safe-rm (source: safe-rm): wrapper around the rm command to prevent accidental deletions. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-2 (jaunty), package size 14 kB, installed size 120 kB | 23:33 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Sorry, I was wrong. Rerun the update-grub command and choose to use the package maintener version. | 23:33 |
| bernz | Kalmi_, yes, my particular notebook couldn't boot directly to USB (but i might have figured out a workaround, different from the ZIP/partition-4 trick)... but i already had GRUB on from a previous (broken) Linux, so i was able to do a half-USB boot (start via GRUB, continue stage2 from USB) | 23:33 |
| Bonstra | Thanks raylu. | 23:33 |
| raylu | camilonova: hm... no idea. | 23:33 |
| zhurai | question: how do I downgrade the packages installed from jaunty-proposed (to go from testing -> old settings/etc)? | 23:33 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: not asking me that quesiton anymore | 23:33 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, i'm sorry, i can't recall the trick, but try searching for "GNOME OSD" and or "Ubuntu" with that, and you might find some starting points | 23:33 |
| mrwes | Kalmi_, or you could add alias rm='rm -i' | 23:33 |
| raylu | zhurai: if you remove the jaunty-proposed repo, update, and upgrade, it should work... i think... | 23:33 |
| camilonova | raylu: i have update the kernel packages but it continue to use a single core | 23:33 |
| fanno | i am trying to debug a slow conection problem on my lan ... google.com works just fine. i cant find any other pages that work. do interrupt:19 BASE adress:0xDead sound right ??? | 23:33 |
| ray_seattle | How do I force it to ask me that question ? | 23:34 |
| ScottG | raylu: Yea I know where trash is, but I am just wondering how i would alias something so that rm would move something there? | 23:34 |
| bernz | raylu, i look forward to the day when all BIOSes can boot properly from USB... i hate burning bootable CDs for single-use (most common case) | 23:34 |
| raylu | Kalmi_: what does that do, exactly? | 23:34 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle, does it detect the kernel you copied ? | 23:34 |
| ray_seattle | no | 23:34 |
| ray_seattle | only shows old kernel | 23:34 |
| camilonova | ScottG: make an alias in your .bashrc | 23:34 |
| raylu | ScottG: it wouldn't be possible with an alias, though you could do it with a function | 23:34 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, but in the interest of learning, i'm going to search as well :-) | 23:34 |
| Sir-Integra | bernz, yeah, it could be something to do with compiz aswell i'm not sure, though. | 23:35 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Are you sure you have all the vmlinuz and initrd files of the new kernels into /boot ? | 23:35 |
| mrwes | ScottG: or add that alias to .bash_aliases | 23:35 |
| zhurai | raylu, I removed it, updated, but upgrade... I don't find anything, also apparently all of the packages downloaded from proposed afterwards, are now in Installed (local or obsolete) category | 23:35 |
| raylu | bernz: ah. i'm lucky to have dealt with only computers that can boot from usb, then | 23:35 |
| ray_seattle | let me check | 23:35 |
| ray_seattle | should I remove my old kernels ? | 23:35 |
| camilonova | anyone can help me with processor kernel issues?? | 23:35 |
| ScottG | raylu: Not sure how functions work in this respect | 23:35 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: No, you may need them if the new ones don't boot. | 23:36 |
| ray_seattle | ok | 23:36 |

| jvogel | Hi - I want to update my kernel to 2.6.29 and i was wondering what's the best way to do this. I found this: http://wiki.debian.org/iwlagn but that says "experimental" ... what does it mean by experimental? is the kernel still "stable"? | 23:37 |
| jvogel | 18:33 < jvogel> i'm running squeeze, an image i made a couple weeks ago | 23:37 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: yes, I think so, I copied all the new kernels to the /boot and left-out the grub dir | 23:37 |
| ejv | hello! is it safe to upgrade from intrepid to jaunty using the gui update manager tool? or is a fresh installation preferred? | 23:37 |
| raylu | jvogel: the kernel has always had "safe/stable" and "experimental" code | 23:37 |
| lorenzo_ | hi, i think i may have messed up nautilus a little bit - possibly installing some scripts. Whenever i browse folders, nautilus tends to crash. It seems to be doing it especially with "big" folders. Anyone can help fix it? this is a hassle...thanks a lot | 23:37 |
| jvogel | raylu: even tho they say "experimenta" isnt 2.6.29 labeled "stable"? | 23:37 |
| zhurai | raylu: I removed it, updated, but upgrade... I don't find anything, also apparently all of the packages downloaded from proposed afterwards, are now in Installed (local or obsolete) category | 23:37 |
| V0iD_ | Hi guys! | 23:37 |
| stickboy | deany Kalmi_ i managed to eventually fix it with e2fsck. thanks for the help guys, really saved my arse on this one. but i'm afraid i'm still switching distros, something more stable. | 23:37 |
| raylu | jvogel: ...again | 23:38 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, i did 'ps aux | grep osd' for the hell of it, and i found something interesting: 'notify-osd'... i'll look into that; simply killing it should stop the OSD activity, but it might be to hamfisted to do that, so don't try it just yet :-D | 23:38 |
| raylu | jvogel: the kernel has always had experimental code | 23:38 |
| ScottG | mrwes: Oh, hm. That does actually seem to work. | 23:38 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181591/ if it helps | 23:38 |

| Anonymust | Kalmi_, is it installed? | 23:38 |
| zhurai | raylu: so...in that case, for me, should I manually remove all of them and then reinstall them all...or what >_> | 23:38 |
| ScottG | mrwes: Would that work on directories too? | 23:39 |
| V0iD_ | bernz: What is a good IRC server for Ubuntu server hardy? | 23:39 |
| raylu | zhurai: you could try reinstalling the packages, but i'm not sure | 23:39 |
| zhurai | hm... | 23:39 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, I stepped out for a minute, I see "re" does that mean you have the same problem? | 23:39 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, restarting | 23:39 |
| mrwes | ScottG, you would need the recursive flag -r | 23:39 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, okay, so "unfortunately", you'll probably have to learn a fair bit about it, and edit its settings to remove the ones you don't want (sound-related) ... :-) | 23:39 |
| * zhurai prays it won't break his comp =_= | 23:39 | |
| raylu | zhurai: can you show me what your sources.list looks like and your aptitude update/dist-upgrade output is? | 23:39 |
| equivoc | bye | 23:39 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, re means something like "hello again"... my connection died :) | 23:39 |
| Sir-Integra | bernz, notify-osd isn't running on my system | 23:40 |
| mrwes | ScottG, plus I would call the alias something other than rm, maybe rmtrash | 23:40 |
| bernz | V0iD_, sorry, i haven't run any IRC servers yet, so i don't know, but take a look in the Add/Remove list; it takes hardly any effort to install a few, try 'em out, and ditch the ones that don't do ya | 23:40 |

| raylu | ScottG: also, have fun deleting two files by the same name. | 23:40 |
| zhurai | raylu: I'm guessing into pastebin huh =_= | 23:40 |
| raylu | ScottG: mv does have a -r flag | 23:40 |

| raylu | zhurai: unless you have a better way | 23:40 |
| V0iD_ | Does anyone know of an easy way of setting up an IRC server on hardy server ? | 23:40 |
| ScottG | raylu: I don | 23:40 |
| Sir-Integra | sec. bernz i'll upload a screenshot | 23:41 |
| ScottG | raylu: I don't see it in the man page for mv | 23:41 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: please retype the command and pastebin the output. | 23:41 |
| bernz | V0iD_, one thing i'd suggest, though, is to get that hardy upgraded if possible :-) | 23:41 |
| bernz | Sir-Integra, cool | 23:41 |
| raylu | ScottG: oh... you're right, that's cp | 23:41 |
| Kalmi_ | stickboy, you could have just googled it... http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-find-out-if-harddisk-failing.html | 23:41 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: which command ? | 23:41 |
| ScottG | raylu: And what do you mean deleting two files by the same name. Two files cannot have the same name if they are in the same folder | 23:41 |
| raylu | ScottG: yes, it'll work for directories without -r | 23:41 |
| Sir-Integra | bernz, http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4fxf.png | 23:41 |

| jvogel | raylu: what is -1-686 ? | 23:42 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, I didn't do that last time | 23:42 |

| raylu | jvogel: 686 means it's for i686 machines, which yours supports | 23:43 |
| ray_seattle | see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181593/ | 23:43 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_... I thought it was a... ok. | 23:43 |

It seems to render the desktop, and nautilus still pops up as the default file manager. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 23:43 |
| ScottG | raylu: Yea, that could cause problems. How does nautilus deal with deleting files that have the same name into trash? | 23:43 |
| jvogel | raylu: if im running amd64 what od i put? | 23:43 |
| ScottG | raylu: Does it prepend something? | 23:43 |

| zhurai | >_> pastebin thought I was spamming, so I googled another one | 23:45 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: It is, but the UUID doesn't seem to match you root partition so grub defaults to /dev/hda1 (which is wrong of course). | 23:45 |
| bernz | lorenzo_, well, it might be a different thing, but when i browse large folders with nautilus (unmodified), it "spaces out" for a bit (goes b&w) and then comes back after 30s - 1 min | 23:45 |

| bernz | lorenzo_, ah... in my case, it eventually shows the folder contents... i have seen instances where when i scroll, it "spaces out", then comes back, then when i scroll, it spaces out more, etc, until it has indexed all the files | 23:47 |
| joey_ | anybody have any ideas about xfce? | 23:47 |
| raylu | ScottG: the i flag doesn't solve the problem, it's an alternative to your mv to trash solution | 23:47 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181597/ | 23:47 |
| bernz | V0iD_, sure thing :-) | 23:47 |
| mrwes | ScottG, I use this for rm, alias rm='rm -i' | 23:47 |
| bernz | lorenzo_, i suspect that basically nautilus is trying to inspect each folder's contents (recursively) to get file sizes, etc, which takes a while | 23:48 |
| raylu | joey_: if you want to be rid of gnome entirely, install xubuntu. you can also try removing the ubuntu-desktop package | 23:48 |

| raylu | joey_: assuming you have xubuntu-desktop installed | 23:48 |
| fanno | Kalmi_: well it all started with my installer stopping at 82 % when ( searching for file mirrors ) so i sudo killall http that worked ... | 23:48 |
| bernz | lorenzo_, there may be a setting to get it to stop doing that explicitly, but i dunno... sorry i can't help much, i don't know nautilus innards yet | 23:48 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, I'm at "User management", no GUI | 23:48 |
| UntouchableMX | I type the commands ifconfig, iwconfig and host google.com | 23:48 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, Exit | 23:49 |
| lorenzo_ | bernz, thank you, maybe it's just that but i'd like to check if permissions are all ok and maybe remove the scripts - but i installed the scripts via .deb package and i have no clue where they are stored... | 23:49 |
| fanno | Kalmi_: so now i can only access google.com no otehr pages seem to work .. .however i can ping them | 23:49 |
| UntouchableMX | and if some one can help ill send you the response of what i got form those commands | 23:49 |
| raylu | UntouchableMX: ...and? | 23:49 |
| raylu | UntouchableMX: please do | 23:49 |
| joey_ | raylu: yes, I've got it installed | 23:49 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, or better... add a user... | 23:49 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, done and "critial error" machine turned off... | 23:49 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, :o | 23:49 |
| lorenzo_ | bernz, no problem, thank for your kind help anyway :) | 23:49 |
| bernz | lorenzo_, you *could* try uninstalling nautilus completely (might need to do that via synaptic), then re-installing, to get rid of those scripts :-) | 23:49 |
| fanno | Kalmi_: tried wget to see if it was firefox config it seems to be the same | 23:49 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, I added two users before "exit" | 23:49 |
| UntouchableMX | can I pm raylu, to send you the log | 23:49 |
| raylu | joey_: for my own curiosity, "aptitude -s purge ubuntu-desktop" | 23:49 |
| ScottG | mrwes: Yea, its just that I see no reason I would ever really need to completely delete a file or folder like that | 23:49 |
| ScottG | mrwes: If I had sketchy stuff on it I would probably use shred or something | 23:50 |
| raylu | joey_: -s means "simulate," so it won't do anything | 23:50 |
| joey_ | raylu: actually, thought I did, then dudn't. my bad! i could have sworn I installed it. | 23:50 |
| zhurai | raylu: if you didn't see my previous message: aptitude dist-upgrade: http://pastebin.ca/1435553 | 23:50 |
| Kalmi_ | fanno, can you pm me the output of ifconfig | 23:50 |
| raylu | UntouchableMX: sure, but pasting it to a pastebin would be easier | 23:50 |
| bernz | lorenzo_, no worries, i know the feeling of frustration when little things go wrong, and start becoming bigger issues over time | 23:50 |

| ray_seattle | ok | 23:50 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, Ah, it was Virtualbox... restarted and it's alright | 23:51 |
| raylu | zhurai: can you show me where it's marked as installed (local or obsolote)? | 23:51 |
| raylu | '/las -cl | 23:51 |
| raylu | oops, ignore that | 23:51 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust.... I like kvm better because vbox is sometimes kind of funny... | 23:51 |
| zhurai | in synaptic >_> | 23:51 |
| raylu | zhurai: fun... i think you'll have to remove it with dpkg | 23:52 |
| SeViLLa | ? | 23:52 |
| zhurai | >_< | 23:52 |
| UntouchableMX | hey raylu im sending you the log | 23:52 |
| joey_ | raylu: ok, here's what happened. I removed the xfce-artwork-usplash package cause I didn't like the theme, and the xubuntu-desktop metapackage was removed as well | 23:52 |
| raylu | UntouchableMX: 5:52:31 DCC can't connect to 189.166.146.166 port 1024 | 23:52 |
| catsup138 | hey guys i'm running crunchbang and i notice that my cpu is abnormally hot | 23:52 |
| spoky | Salut tout le monde | 23:52 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, I got vbox b/c I've used it before... I know it's free and it runs on OS X, I didn't do a lot of homework before installing it last night | 23:52 |
| UntouchableMX | let me upload it to a server then | 23:53 |
| catsup138 | the fan is always running and it isn't this hot when i'm running other distros | 23:53 |
| catsup138 | am i being paranoid or should i investigate this further? | 23:53 |
| raylu | joey_: oh, that's not a problem then | 23:53 |
| joey_ | raylu: here's the output of the command\ | 23:53 |
| joey_ | joey@joey-laptop:~$ aptitude -s purge ubuntu-desktop | 23:53 |
| joey_ | Reading package lists... Done | 23:53 |
| joey_ | Building dependency tree | 23:53 |
| UntouchableMX | raylu: heres the link where I uploaded the log http://www.evilshare.com/0e83d3f0-4a48-11de-8c3e-0030489aabc6 | 23:53 |
| FloodBot1 | joey_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:53 |
| joey_ | Reading state information... Done | 23:54 |
| joey_ | Reading extended state information | 23:54 |
| Kalmi_ | Anonymust, it is usally fine when it's only emulating (hardware support turned off)... but acts a bit funny for me (especially when installing something inside it) when it's on... | 23:54 |
| raylu | joey_: i was hoping something the metapackage depended on would configure your default filemanager | 23:54 |
| bernz | catsup138, maybe do a 'top' and see what's causing the busy-ness? | 23:54 |
| catsup138 | i ran htop and see that my cpu isn't too active | 23:54 |
| genii | catsup138: crunchbang is not a distribution of linux which this channel provides support for | 23:54 |
| catsup138 | its just hot | 23:54 |
| catsup138 | crunchbang is based on ubuntu | 23:54 |
| joey_ | raylu: here we go. the xubuntu-default-settings package is missing | 23:54 |
| genii | catsup138: Yes, but it is not ubuntu | 23:54 |
| catsup138 | eh i always viewed crunchbang as a lubuntu of sorts (lxde + ubuntu) | 23:55 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: replace your /boot/grub/menu.lst with this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/181602/ | 23:55 |
| UntouchableMX | the one im trying to use is wlan0 | 23:55 |
| zhurai | damnit, I might have to reinstall... =_= | 23:55 |
| raylu | UntouchableMX: why are there so many others? | 23:55 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, "The X Server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly." What does this mean? After this message all there is displayed is a black screen and white curser... I cannot type | 23:55 |
| java911 | what about ubuntu security bugs? | 23:55 |
| ray_seattle | ok, hold on | 23:55 |
| catsup138 | okay so more generic question then: is it possible for a cpu to be running "hot" without the cpu being used too much? | 23:55 |
| raylu | zhurai: how many packages do you want to downgrade? can you get a list of them? | 23:55 |
| genii | !mint | catsup138 All these dists are also variants of ubuntu which no support here: | 23:55 |
| raylu | java911: what about them? | 23:55 |
| ubottu | catsup138 All these dists are also variants of ubuntu which no support here:: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) | 23:55 |
| catsup138 | okay thanks ubottu | 23:56 |
| UntouchableMX | dont know, I have 2 wireless, 1 wire, and a localhost | 23:56 |
| java911 | are there some? | 23:56 |
| joey_ | raylu: but is it just a nother metapackage? | 23:56 |
| raylu | java911: probably | 23:56 |
| raylu | joey_: i wouldn't know. aptitude show will help you | 23:56 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: Done | 23:56 |
| zhurai | raylu -> all that jaunty-proposed did: compiz, evolution, foomatic, gnome-settings-daemon, lib* (too many to list) (which removing the lib's removes pretty much everything =_=) | 23:57 |
| ray_seattle | re-run command ? | 23:57 |
| catsup138 | okay so more generic question then: is it possible for a cpu to be running "hot" without the cpu being used too much? for example my cpu usage % hovers around 15 at most but my cpu still gets abnormally hot | 23:57 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: update-grub again and pastebin the resulting menu.lst | 23:57 |
| ScottG | mrwes: I might want to make a script for this. I could make it add those info files into trash too pretty easily | 23:57 |
| ray_seattle | asking that question again | 23:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | catsup138 YEs it can, if the heatsink is not mounted properly or if there is little or no thermal paste, it can coverheat at 15% usage | 23:57 |
| bluefox83 | how the heck do i fix sound in flash D: | 23:58 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: install package maintainer's version or local ? | 23:58 |
| bluefox83 | it no workie D: | 23:58 |
| Bonstra | ray_seattle: Choose package maintener's version. | 23:58 |
| catsup138 | jack_sparrow: its a relatively new laptop and it doesnt do the same on other distros (winxp, ubuntu) so is it a distro problem i have? thanks for the answer btw | 23:58 |
| bernz | catsup138, being more generic isn't being more ubuntu, but anyway, a hot CPU that's idle is probably being overlocked incorrectly | 23:59 |
| bluefox83 | !flash | 23:59 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 23:59 |
| Anonymust | Kalmi_, "Symbol lookup error. /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vesa_drv" | 23:59 |
| bernz | s/overlocked/overclocked/g | 23:59 |
| gartral | how do i kill all notification areas on my desktop? | 23:59 |
| ray_seattle | Bonstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181603/ | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | catsup138 If it does not on other releases, yes it is a distro issue, it may have been installed without acpi or noacip etc | 23:59 |
| bernz | catsup138, (i'm not trying to be a smart-ass, just pointing out that you need to keep the questions pretty ubuntu-specific, or people will either not answer, or get bothered) | 23:59 |
