| harpreet_ | 2gb X2 RAM will give me more speed or 1gb X 4 under ubuntu ? | 00:10 |
| ajhtiredwolf | I have two monitors, second one is running as a seperate x-session, I need the primary monitors x-session to use compiz, and the secondary monitor to NOT use compiz. Anyone every done this before? | 00:10 |

| ZykoticK9 | ajhtiredwolf, i doubt it's possible - but good luck. | 00:11 |
| aaditya | harpreet_: i doubt if there would be a noticeable change between the two. i'd go for 1GB x 4 though | 00:11 |

| ubottu | chaos2fu, please see my private message | 00:14 |

| aaditya | mib_7vyuq6a0: place a script in your ~/bin directory that invokes xbindkeys, and call that script at startup. that'll help you start debugging. | 00:15 |
| Artichoke200 | I don't care about answers | 00:15 |
| thelaugh2ngmime | do i have to do that for ever PC that i want to be able to connect to samba? i have a few all with different names | 00:15 |
| Artichoke200 | Pc is windows. Please refer to linux as Linux. | 00:16 |
| thelaugh2ngmime | ok | 00:16 |

| jefinc | Severian_: yes that gets me python back, but not all the packages that were removed with it | 00:22 |
| Severian_ | jefinc, but, that won't put the dependancies back | 00:22 |
| === thelaugh2ngmime is now known as The-Mime | ||
| Artichoke200 | !ops | 00:22 |
| jefinc | it is removing 284 packages... | 00:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | thelaugh2ngmime, it's the "security = user", for WIDE open and working sharing you could try "security = share" and research that | 00:22 |
| The-Mime | lol | 00:22 |
| Severian_ | jefinc, can you get a list of the packages? | 00:22 |
| jefinc | Severian_: yes I think I'll be able to | 00:23 |
| aaditya | jefinc: can you say no to the removal confirmation? | 00:23 |
| Knyte | ugh this LiveCD asking for a password is rackin my brain lol | 00:24 |
| Severian_ | jefinc, then in a text editor, you can construct a command to put them back. sudo apt-get install pack1 pack2 pack3 The whole line can be 16380 characters long. If it goes longer, break it into two commands. | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | Knyte, what version of LiveCD are you using? the default cd does NOT ask for any passwords. | 00:25 |
| hamburglar | why do so many professors in universities use MACS ? | 00:25 |
| Knyte | 9.04 | 00:25 |
| aaditya | Knyte: where did you get the liveCD? | 00:25 |
| Severian_ | jefinc, I know 16380 is not the actual number. I always round it down a bit. I don't usually want commands the absolute max length unless I have to. | 00:25 |

| ZykoticK9 | The-Mime, sorry who are you? | 00:27 |
| aaditya | Knyte: could you please upload a screenshot of the password window? it's hard to believe | 00:27 |
| The-Mime | ZykoticK9> thelaugh2ngmime, it's the "security = user", for WIDE open and working sharing you could | 00:27 |
| The-Mime | try "security = share" and research that | 00:27 |
| The-Mime | sorry i changed my nick | 00:27 |
| Severian_ | aaditya, jefinc definitely say no to the removal if you can. I understood from your message that it has already happened | 00:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | The-Mime, i think you now need some sort of share specified inside the config file - sorry man you gotta google some of this | 00:28 |
| aaditya | Severian_: i thought so too. wouldn't removing that package name gnome unusable? | 00:28 |
| Knyte | in the Live CD atm.. | 00:28 |
| The-Mime | Ok thanks a lot. I am happy to have gotten this far.. Thanks again for all your help.. :P | 00:28 |
| aaditya | jefinc: are you still having the same problem? there's a simple solution | 00:29 |
| aaditya | jefinc: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:29 |
| aaditya | ;) | 00:29 |
| zach74 | is there any other program you can use in place of dpkg | 00:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | The-Mime, i'm booting my samba server to read the config 1 sec | 00:29 |
| aaditya | ZykoticK9: reboot the machine? | 00:29 |
| The-Mime | Cool! thanks a lot | 00:29 |

| Severian_ | aaditya, jefinc that's probably a good idea to get the desktop back. But, still build the list and reinstall everything. Things other than the desktop were probably broken. Ubuntu uses Python for a bunch of tools. That is one thing I like about Ubuntu. Not the only thing, but one thing. | 00:31 |
| zach74 | is uptime just the amount of time a computer is on? | 00:31 |
| mrwes | 19:31:38 up 22 days, 2:55, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01 | 00:32 |
| The-Mime | dgh1973 i am a NSE for a healthcare company i reboot every night just to keep things going | 00:32 |
| aaditya | zach74: it shows the load averages too | 00:32 |
| zach74 | lol i never shut any of my computers off | 00:32 |
| aaditya | zach74: and number of users, as you can see above | 00:32 |
| Knyte | got the screencap | 00:32 |
| aaditya | Knyte: upload it? | 00:33 |
| Knyte | everything else on the liveCD works except for administrative functions | 00:33 |
| zach74 | so anyone know of another program that can take the place of dpkg | 00:33 |
| aaditya | Knyte: did you try `sudo passwd` btw? | 00:33 |
| dgh1973 | constant reboots can actually encourage hardware failure believe it or not, most time you see big iron go down from hardware it's at a power-cycle | 00:33 |
| Knyte | yes it was blank | 00:33 |
| aaditya | zach74: apt-get? | 00:33 |
| aaditya | Knyte: what was blank? | 00:33 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ZykoticK9, compiz.real --replace --only-current-screen | 00:33 |
| Kalmi | Knyte, can you try the password "ubuntu"? | 00:33 |
| aaditya | Kalmi: lol, nice try | 00:34 |
| zach74 | but doesnt apt-get still use dpkg to install the files? | 00:34 |
| zach74 | im having issues with dpkg in 9.04 | 00:34 |
| aaditya | zach74: yep it does. it provides a high-level front-end though | 00:34 |
| aaditya | zach74: what sort of issues? | 00:34 |
| Knyte | tried a good number of passwords | 00:34 |
| zach74 | i cant install any new software | 00:34 |
| The-Mime | dgh1973, i admint that the every day is a bit of over kill but i know its helps the services refesh themselvs. and i would rater have hardware fail at night then durin office hours | 00:34 |
| aaditya | zach74: we can use some output. pastebin it | 00:35 |
| Knyte | toor root god admin ubuntu left it blank | 00:35 |
| zach74 | it says that dpkg returns an unrecoverable error | 00:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | ajhtiredwolf, NICE - i'm writing that down - very cool | 00:35 |
| aaditya | zach74: come on | 00:35 |
| dgh1973 | The-Mime, I'm totally with you, I've seen that type of thing before (usually it was windows related systems that had problems otherwise) | 00:35 |
| aaditya | Knyte: you're being a troll | 00:36 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ZykoticK9, few problemsn though, it doesnt seem to slow down performance, and it is making it difficult to cycle between windows, i think it can be fixed by replacing the normal start compiz command with that instead | 00:36 |

| dgh1973 | zach74, looks like you need to try "dpkg -r language-pack-gnome-en-base language-pack-gnome-en" to get around that | 00:51 |

| dgh1973 | neurobuntu_, interesting... you can set a specific umask at the user level, but that doesn't really look at parent dirs, you have a process in place for the file creation? I.e. you can do this with a program to read parent perms and write file accordingly | 00:54 |
| d00000de | anyone knows how to use dvb-s with totam or/and vlc? (btw, please dont suggest kaffeine, its too bloated for me) thanx! | 00:54 |
| neurobuntu_ | dgh1973, umask only handles the file permissions not the file ownership | 00:54 |
| aaditya | Knyte: reboot the system and instead of booting from the liveCD, choose the "install" option from the boot menu directly | 00:55 |
| dgh1973 | neurobuntu_, other than that, there MIGHT be some low level file manipulation commands that can do this, not sure | 00:55 |
| Knyte | not really an option as i don't havea ps/2 keyboard here.. | 00:55 |

| ZykoticK9 | hvgotcodes, look into .bashrc i think for path | 00:56 |
| neurobuntu_ | dgh1973, i've been told by people that setuid/gid can do it.... I have a media folder (pictures, music, etc..) that I want to share between two users, so I created a group added them both to the group. Then when either users adds files to the folder they are both the owner and the group I'd like to automate it so that when files/folders are added the joint group is used by default not the users group... but I want this to hap | 00:56 |
| bjorn | hvgotcodes: the path is usually setup in .bashrc in your home directory | 00:56 |
| neurobuntu_ | pen only for this specific folder | 00:56 |
| erickrauda | que bueno me alegro | 00:56 |
| hvgotcodes | bjorn, i looked in there didn't see it | 00:56 |
| dgh1973 | ruler, you can try this "apt-get install gdecrypt" | 00:56 |
| aaditya | dgh1973: add sudo to it ;) | 00:57 |
| dgh1973 | ruler, have not used that, just looking at what's available in deb repo | 00:57 |
| hvgotcodes | should i just do export path=newstuff:$PATH? | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Getting a script to run at boot before login: Put it in you ~/.bashrc. Something like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin ... | 00:57 |
| dgh1973 | ruler, also try "apt-cache search crypt" for other possibilities | 00:57 |

| Severian | n00b871, seo is done for a web server, not an OS. I don't use those tools, since I don't think they are really on the up and up, but I know what they accomplish. | 01:07 |
| hvgotcodes | bjorn, /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java | 01:07 |
| dgh1973 | ruler, but in all seriousness, if it's a boot sector virus you'll need to clean that up before installing a new os, but it should not effect ubuntu directly in most cases (there are linux viruses out there but so rare as to be non-existent) | 01:07 |
| dgh1973 | neurobuntu_, I think so, you can "sudo su - testuser" and write some files and see | 01:08 |
| Artichoke200 | Guest75616: Go to boot options | 01:08 |
| Artichoke200 | Guest75616: And run it | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dgh1973 sudo su is a bad idea | 01:08 |

| StarWarsGuy | hey, I'm having a problem with flash. The problem is that sometimes it works and other times it doesn't work. I installed flash using "Ubuntu Extras" and I have no other packages related to flash installed. All Im trying to do is watch videos on youtube. What can I do to fix this inconsistent problem? | 01:10 |
| noober300 | cool, App Runner worked, thanks ubuntistas | 01:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | notlistening Perhaps /join #winehq | 01:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | iluminator101, you need to be using the VirtualBox direct from Sun and not the OSE edition that is in the Ubuntu repos | 01:10 |

| Guest75616 | i tried booting a live cd, however, i couldnt find the recovery console | 01:17 |
| raylu | dgh1973: no, kernAl is wrong | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest75616 No recovery on the live, it is a grub menu option on boot, hit esc after mem test to find it | 01:18 |
| raylu | from wikipedia: This article is about Commodore's 8-bit OS software. Kernal is also a common misspelling of kernel. | 01:18 |
| Guest75616 | raylu: when i enter that, the output i get is: sudo: must be setuid root | 01:18 |
| dgh1973 | raylu, even the chicken guy is colonel, ahh wikip to the rescue! | 01:18 |
| Guest75616 | so what would booting from a live cd do for me? | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest75616 Let you edit the sudoer file for one | 01:19 |
| Guest75616 | ok | 01:19 |
| dgh1973 | Guest27733, you will the be able to mount your root partition through another system (the live CD) and add yourself back to the /etc/sudoers file | 01:19 |

| dgh1973 | Jack_Sparrow, sorry about the echo | 01:19 |
| Guest75616 | yea i checked that out | 01:19 |

| Guest75616 | there are no lsb modules available | 01:20 |

| raylu | Guest75616: i'm not so sure you're on ubuntu | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joeseph Simple way, find a windows user and install it on their system and grab what you need from that | 01:21 |

| Severian | foolz, maybe. I am sorry I can't be more definite. I don't run any IE newer than 5.5 And, I have not run that in a while. So, I am going from memory. If you are displaying the pngs in IE, then trust your eyes. Convert them to jpegs if you need ie support. | 01:29 |

| xxiao | this is strange, suddenly when i login to ubuntu 8.04, it sometimes uses my pc speaker instead of desk speaker for the audio, i did blacklist-ed pcsspkr already | 01:29 |
| Zzeiss | |PiP|: So? What's the problem then? You clearly already have an ubuntu disk. Why not just take off apps till it is what you want them to have? | 01:29 |
| foolz | severian, thanks for the help | 01:29 |

| ZykoticK9 | xiamx, chm files are basically just html files - there isn't an easy way to just convert that to a page layout (ie pdf) | 01:33 |
| Severian | |PiP|, There are several options you have. You could go the LTSP route that you suggested at first. That does not need much hardware on their machines, but it needs to be the right hardware. LTSP is not easy to setup, but it works well on supported hardware. | 01:33 |

| Severian | |PiP|, Look for the LTST website for details. I am still trying to find a simple list of supported hardware. No luck yet. | 01:35 |
| Joeseph | Out of curiosity...... The wg111t not having 'plug and play' in jaunty...... is that Netgear's fault, or Ubuntu's fault? | 01:35 |
| Severian | |PiP|, option 2 would be a minimal setup with a NoMachine client on each of their machines. (or VNC, but it is slower) | 01:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joeseph Netgear, as they should provide proper drivers or open code so we can adjust as needed | 01:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | xiamx, i'm sure it's possible - probably just not easy | 01:37 |
| Severian | |PiP|, Option three would be to roll your own minimal setup and have it connect to your computer to run X. Option 4 would be to setup a good firewall/NAT with Dan's Guardian on it and then run their machines as normal desktops. | 01:37 |
| Joeseph | Jack_Sparrow: So, is the 'plug and play' capabilities of the 'wg111' (as opposed to the 'wg111t') are a result of Netgear, and not ubuntu? | 01:37 |
| mib_x15lmacb | what can i use to capture my desktop as video? | 01:38 |

| greg | can't print from laptop through router, this should simple WTF | 01:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greg Please dont use the rude shorthand. ty | 01:48 |
| mram50 | Yeah..I didn't think I could..I know how to save it all and have done so a bunch of times in the past.. I was just sort of digging around in the docs about migrating from windows which i haven't used in eons and it seemd kind of like.. well, if I could do thai with windows then surely with another disto it would be a breeze.. | 01:49 |
| ruler | jack_sparrow: filename.rar | 01:49 |
| zaccour | compiz fusion sucks big time | 01:49 |
| mram50 | ;) I was just thinking it would be nice to not have to take all that time doing all this stuff.. wishful thinking I guess ;) | 01:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ruler Understood, and to unpack it you use un-rar like I said | 01:49 |
| greg | what the formation?? what's wrong with that??3 | 01:50 |
| zaccour | it makes my system slow, grays it out, and crashes | 01:50 |
| ruler | how can install it | 01:50 |
| losher | mram50: my understanding is that even with windows, the so-called migration tools have only limited success... | 01:50 |
| ruler | i am new to ubuntu | 01:50 |
| mram50 | sounds about right to me too.. last time I did anything with windows i just wrote it all down and retyped everything | 01:51 |
| Severian | |PiP|, a friend of mine is involved in a project to make a simple router to handle situations like yours. You can see the project at http://packetprotector.org/index.html It talks about wireless, but it handles wired connections, too. | 01:51 |
| kentb | ruler sudo apt-get install unrar | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ruler sudo apt-get install unrar-free or look in synaptic for other rar tools | 01:51 |
| |ntegra| | if I sudo shutdown for 2 hours time, will that leave my password/sudosu easily accessible to strangers for that 2 hours? | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | |ntegra| It shuold not leave you open | 01:51 |
| zaccour | is there a way to keep compiz from being buggy? | 01:51 |
| Reefer | Can i burn Ubuntu on a cdr? | 01:51 |
| ruler | ubottu archive mamager counld not open it | 01:51 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zaccour /join #compiz or buy supported hardware | 01:52 |
| zaccour | i have 2gb ram, maybe its the atom processor | 01:52 |
| mram50 | what the heck.. technolgy seems to zing past me these days like the speed of light.. I thought maybe i missed something that would have been oodles and oodles easier. Oh well ;) | 01:52 |
| Severian | Reefer, sure. People do that all the time. | 01:52 |
| aleron6 | is there an expert heah with cinelerra | 01:52 |
| Reefer | ok i didnt know if you needed a dvd r or a cdr was fine | 01:52 |
| mib_j4182xi0 | I typed 64.233.161.182 into my web browser but it seems to be stuck loading. In the status bar it hangs at "connecting to 64.233.161.18 2" | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Reefer cd is fine even though the file is 700meg | 01:52 |
| |ntegra| | thank you Jack_Sparrow | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 01:53 |
| aleron6 | lol jack sparrow | 01:53 |
| greg | Jack, sorry i violated your sensibilities, do you go out after four pm? | 01:53 |
| Severian | Reefer, the normal Ubuntu download is a CDR. There is a DVD version, but if it is under 700 meg, it is a CDR. | 01:53 |
| losher | mram50: I have it down to something of an art these days: about 17 files from /etc plus everything in /home. The real problem going between OSes is that you can't be sure the file formats will be identical. Going from debian to ubuntu they'll be close, but close doesn't really cut it... | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | |ntegra| There is a timer on sudo 15 minutes in the same terminal etc | 01:53 |
| aleron6 | captain jack sparrow | 01:53 |
| ruler | jack_sparrow: very very thanks | 01:53 |
| mib_j4182xi0 | 64.233.161.182 finally loaded. It still says "server not found" | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ruler np | 01:53 |
| |ntegra| | ..and I've timestamped it to 0zero0 too | 01:53 |
| ruler | kent: thans | 01:53 |
| zombie-robot | anyone having probs with the nonfree flash plugin? | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_j4182xi0 cool, we ruled out dns issues | 01:53 |
| zombie-robot | i cant upload at megaupload | 01:54 |
| mram50 | ive been using debian a while now, but certain things are real buggy like swf filkes, etc.. I'm hoiping ubuntu will be cleaner for that..seems to have a lot of the same stuff debian has though,,just a tad cleaner | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zombie-robot try it without compiz effects turned on | 01:54 |
| Severian | zombie-robot, it is not perfect. But, it is much better than the Adobe Flash player for people who care about security. | 01:54 |
| Reefer | Ok last question. I have a machine. i installed another HD can i put ubuntu on that HD and keep windows on the other and still get the option to select what os i want to run/ | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Reefer YEs | 01:55 |
| Reefer | ok thats it | 01:55 |
| Reefer | thanks | 01:55 |
| mram50 | flash player is screwy lewey in debian or my older version anyway | 01:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Reefer Plan on a bit of grub tweeking to get the mbr right, best way is both on primary drive and your data on the spare drive | 01:55 |
| losher | mram50: 8.04.2 LTS is a very stable, solid release. 9.04 is notorious for flash problems... | 01:56 |
| aleron6 | is version 9.04 buggs fixed yet eh | 01:56 |
| Reefer | Im looking for someone helping on the setup of ubuntu security measures anyone have time on there hands to go to pm? | 01:56 |
| raylu | aleron6: huh? there are always open bugs in all versions | 01:56 |
| zombie-robot | nope still doesnt work after i turn off compiz | 01:57 |
| mram50 | i don't remember which i have..i suppose i could check.. i've just not used flash in so long and now it seems every page i go to uses it | 01:57 |
| aleron6 | but i mean for the video cards | 01:57 |
| Severian | aleron6, People are working on it. It is getting better all the time. | 01:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Reefer BEst to keep questions in the channel so we can try to make sure you get the best advice and not misdirection | 01:57 |
| raylu | aleron6: which one? | 01:57 |
| aleron6 | isent it the intell and ati ones | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | aleron6: the intel ones work if you enable the testing repo and install the updates.. ATI, not really sure. | 01:57 |
| aleron6 | thats why i have migrated to it | 01:57 |
| aleron6 | im still in 8.10 | 01:57 |
| kentb | Reefer, start here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002167 | 01:58 |
| mram50 | i thought of going back to mandriva, but it bogs me down so slow....old clunker | 01:58 |
| aleron6 | i wouldnt rishk9.10 | 01:58 |
| zombie-robot | im using 8.04 and megaupload flash wont work :/ | 01:58 |
| losher | mram50: I use flashblock. Almost all flash is disposable I find & inversely proportional to usable info... | 01:58 |
| mram50 | i'd just like to watch a video once in a blue moon. ;) | 01:59 |
| zhoujingrui | no sound with my ubuntu 8.10 | 01:59 |
| losher | mram50: no guarantees of course, but give 8.04.2 a whirl... | 01:59 |
| mram50 | how does ubuntu sit with flash, etc? | 01:59 |
| devil | hi guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 02:00 |
| Bradj47 | hi, i'm having some problems with the connect to server feature in ubuntu | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | aleron6: its still 9.04, its just a repository of preleased updates | 02:00 |
| devil | i wanna know about QT programming | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | *proposed updates.. my bad | 02:00 |
| Bradj47 | i'm trying to unmount an ftp server i'm connected to but it keeps giving me an error | 02:00 |
| losher | mram50: 9.04 is notorious for flash problems, 8.04.2 seems fine... | 02:00 |
| devil | i am not familiar with its compiler | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devil this is ubuntu support, please find a QT channel | 02:01 |
| zombie-robot | http://stoneredition.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=242 | 02:01 |
| aleron6 | so ur sayin its not final yet? | 02:01 |
| raylu | aleron6: nothing is ever "final" | 02:01 |
| losher | devil: try #qt ? | 02:01 |
| mram50 | ubuntu? I just downloaded a version..probably the latest.. maybe I'll go back and dig up an older version with the bugs worked out. ;) | 02:01 |
| raylu | aleron6: and different people have different ideas about what it means to be 'stable' | 02:01 |
| devil | losher:yes i tried to do but failed | 02:01 |
| aleron6 | lol how is that so wen version 9.10 comes out it wont be final either | 02:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | aleron6: i would guess if they are proposed backups, probably not.. i enabled it w/o to much trouble. | 02:02 |
| jorgen | When I connect my usb keyboard to my laptop how do I effect the xbindkeys configuration on the usb keyboard without restarting X? | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | aleron6: which intel device do you ahve. | 02:02 |
| aleron6 | well integrated | 02:02 |
| raylu | IndyGunFreak: *backports? | 02:02 |
| aleron6 | both mobo n video | 02:02 |
| devil | i am not getting familiar with its compiler environment | 02:02 |
| Demonicdata | 9.10 when is this coming out | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | aleron6: well no kidding... what chipset | 02:02 |
| aleron6 | i dont trust that version just yet | 02:02 |
| raylu | Bradj47: are you going to tell us the error? | 02:02 |
| raylu | las -cl | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | raylu: no, not backports | 02:02 |
| raylu | ack, ignore that | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devil this is ubuntu support, please find a QT channel that suits your needs | 02:02 |
| aleron6 | idk' | 02:02 |
| mram50 | yep..it's 9,04.. no wonder it was so screwey with the "live" version.. now it'll take a month of sundays to clean the cd up its on LOL | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | aleron6: so you expect to fix the problem, yet you don't even know if your device is included in the problem, because youd on't know what ti is. | 02:03 |
| Pixels | is there a MSN program for Ubuntu 9.04? | 02:03 |

| Demonicdata | :| | 02:03 |
| Pixels | Severian, hehe funny :) no seriously | 02:03 |
| losher | mram50: 9.04 still seems to need a lot of tinkering. Save yourself some grief and start with 8.04.2 | 02:03 |
| Pixels | Seveas, aMSN any good? | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devil I am aware of what we support and how we do things thanks | 02:04 |
| raylu | Pixels: install it and find out for yourself. pidgin comes with ubuntu | 02:04 |
| devil | jack:its ok | 02:04 |
| mram50 | 8.04 has a live v doesn't it? | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jorgen sorry, no idea on that | 02:04 |
| Severian | Pixels, That is serious. There are other choices. What you you not like about pidgen? | 02:04 |
| Pixels | do I need to add any plugins for firefox, e/.g noscript? Or will I be ok and not get infected with anything from visiting websites? | 02:04 |
| raylu | mram50: all the ubuntu releases do | 02:04 |
| mram50 | i thought so | 02:04 |
| Pixels | Severian, i thought you said pidgeon. thought you were teasing me | 02:05 |
| losher | mram50: yes, same process as 9.04. Download, burn, run live, install... | 02:05 |
| raylu | Pixels: if there were a system that was 100% free of security issues, we'd all be using it by now | 02:05 |
| raylu | Pixels: most people don't use noscript because they think it provides them with more "security" | 02:05 |
| aleron6 | its an intel 82815 815 chipset | 02:05 |
| mram50 | i major league screwed up my debian repos.. trhought I knew what i was doing.. :x | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pixels as long as we are forced to suport unsafe formats there will always be a slight risk | 02:05 |
| Severian | Pixels, Nope. I do that every once in a while. But Ppidgen is a nice program. It handles a bunch of IM formats. | 02:05 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, so what can Ubuntu be infected with? virus, spyware, malware? | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | aleron6: that likely is not your graphics device | 02:06 |
| Bradj47 | has addons for the IM formats it doesn't come with too | 02:06 |
| Pixels | Severian, how do I add my picture to it? | 02:06 |
| NemesisD | anyone know of a way to find a device's /dev path without using fdisk or anything, i don't have it available on this boot disc | 02:06 |
| raylu | Pixels: all of the above, because there is no clear-cut line between them anyway | 02:06 |
| losher | mram50: it's pretty foolproof in Ubuntu... :-) | 02:06 |
| nomadluap | i need some help. How do I change the scroll wheel speed on my mouse? | 02:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pixels No virus issues in ubuntu, but you can get you r browser hosed up etc | 02:06 |

| mib_x15lmacb | so does anyone know how i can save the password i always have to set in my gmail widget so i dont miss my e-mails when it gets removed after each login? | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mib_j4182xi0 I know something was going on with pcmcia but I didnt think they killed it off yet | 02:07 |
| aleron6 | where the hell is it | 02:07 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, how do I prevent my firefox from being "hosed" in ubuntu? | 02:07 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: can you help me now? | 02:07 |
| unifest | alguem sabe pq meu msn nao entra? da esse erro: Connection error from Notification server: | 02:07 |
| unifest | Reading error | 02:07 |
| mram50 | Well, osh.. thanks for the info.. I guess I'll mosey over and go d/l 8.04 and give it a spin..that is if my burner hasn't decided to turn to a real live burner instead of a normal cd burner. ;) | 02:07 |
| mram50 | err losher | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pixels Avoid those endless lists of plugins for one | 02:07 |
| Severian | Pixels, In the account setup, there is a place to let you specify your buddy icon. Isn't that what you want? | 02:07 |
| zombie-robot | i tried uninstalling flash-nonfree and putting http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz | 02:07 |
| zombie-robot | that file in the FF/plugins folder and flash works but not the megauploader | 02:07 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, if I create another user, and run firefox in there and it gets hosed or something happens, will it infect or affect the OTHER main user? | 02:08 |
| Pixels | Severian, think so | 02:08 |
| raylu | Bradj47: sorry, i don't see messages without my name in them usually. i'll take a look | 02:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zombie-robot so this is a FF plugin issue right.. | 02:08 |
| mram50 | i think I fried my cd burner...it's been acting kind of strange of later.. i think my dog decided to stick her snoot in it. | 02:08 |
| Bradj47 | lol ok thanks | 02:08 |
| losher | mram50: osh, losh, losher. Whatever. If your burner dies, there's a workaround, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ . Warning, I've never actually tried this myself... | 02:08 |

| zombie-robot | it doesnt work in any other browser or with the nonfree | 02:09 |

| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, or does what he does STAY in his home? | 02:09 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: i clicked on 'connect to server' under the 'Places' menu and had it add as a bookmark and it mounted when i clicked on the bookmark | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pixels HE is kept in his home, yes | 02:10 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: where's the output of 'mount' is that a directory somewhere? | 02:10 |
| BeatlesFan | hey, I need your guys help... | 02:10 |
| losher | mram50: Burners fail eventually, Given the precision required for burning, it's a wonder they last as long as they do. If you use unetbootin, come back & let us know how it went | 02:10 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, if I create another user, and run firefox in there and it gets hosed or something happens, will it infect or affect the OTHER main user? | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pixels it should not.. | 02:10 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, in other words.. if I add a user and he stuffs everything up and gets "hosed" and visits infected websites etc... will it infect, affect and hose my main user account? | 02:10 |
| zombie-robot | so the megaupload flash uploader doent work in ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| raylu | Bradj47: the command "mount", in a terminal | 02:11 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, or does what he does STAY in his home? | 02:11 |
| mram50 | That requires a usb drive. like a pen drive or something similar? | 02:11 |
| losher | ask | BeatlesFan | 02:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zombie-robot If it is a plugin then see the help page on ff plugins | 02:11 |
| losher | !ask | BeatlesFan | 02:11 |
| ubottu | BeatlesFan: 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. :-) | 02:11 |
| zombie-robot | link? | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pixels You other user will only have the access you give him and should not be an issue for our admin account | 02:12 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, COOL | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zombie-robot mozilla.com | 02:12 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: no, i don't see it in that list. | 02:12 |
| Pixels | :-) | 02:12 |
| BeatlesFan | I heard on here the other night that the new Ubuntu will not support Nvidia 6 and earlier, is that true? | 02:12 |
| mram50 | I guess if my burner is screwed i can always go upload stuff to a server somewhere..do what i gotta do then redownload it like the old days of emailing everything to myself LOL | 02:12 |
| raylu | Bradj47: what's the path to the actual ftp "mountpoint"? | 02:12 |
| harpreet_ | BeatlesFan: no | 02:12 |
| raylu | Bradj47: as in, what appears in your location bar? | 02:12 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, so I can add a user and be confident that whatevr he does wont infect or affect my user admin account? | 02:12 |
| losher | mram50: there's an option to download an iso and boot directly from it, as I understand... | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BeatlesFan the 6600 are very popular, I doubt they would drop support for them | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pixels YEs. | 02:13 |
| harpreet_ | Pixels: yes | 02:13 |
| BeatlesFan | harpreet, so if I install an geforce 6200 or 6600 in my PC I'll be ok for the foreseeable future? | 02:13 |
| Pixels | Haraken, ty | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BeatlesFan I hope so , I have several in use now | 02:13 |
| Pixels | Jack_Sparrow, thanks ;) | 02:13 |
| Haraken | Pixels, np | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:13 |
| mram50 | makes sense.. if it can be run from a cd tray i don't see why it can't boot from... wait a sec.. this i need to think over LOL | 02:13 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: | 02:13 |
| Haraken | xD | 02:13 |
| harpreet_ | BeatlesFan: i just built a computer , one minute ago with 6600, if the card doesnt work you can always load a driver or edit xorg.conf | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !iso | 02:14 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 02:14 |
| BeatlesFan | Jack_Sparrow: becuase I want to upgrade from my on-board graphics and I only have PCI slots.. not even PCI-e | 02:14 |
| BeatlesFan | or AGP | 02:14 |
| okaygo | so whats there to do in linux | 02:14 |
| okaygo | lol | 02:14 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: the file browser lags tremendously when i try to open it hold on | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BeatlesFan the 6600 pic or any agp pci-e should be fine | 02:14 |
| Severian | BeatlesFan, I can forsee a future when that card will no longer be supported. It is post-singularity and 30 years or more away. | 02:14 |
| fellow | hello all. would anyone know how to turn force pidgin not to show who is joining and leaving irc channels? | 02:15 |
| BeatlesFan | jack_sparrow, unless I install a new MB I can only do PCI | 02:15 |
| xcerca | anybody using a xhd 2560x1600 monitor ?, i'm thinking about getting one but wonder how ubuntu will look in it | 02:15 |

| okaygo | why not??? | 02:16 |
| Severian | mram50, you make a living at that? | 02:16 |
| raylu | Bradj47: is there a pencil/paper icon to the left of that? | 02:16 |
| mib_x15lmacb | okaygo: lol | 02:16 |
| harpreet_ | okaygo: its not windows | 02:16 |
| losher | mram50: they're dirt cheap. $23 from newegg when on sale... | 02:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | okaygo It is a windows application for one | 02:16 |
| harpreet_ | okaygo: lol | 02:16 |
| xcerca | raylu ... so , change the theme then ? | 02:16 |
| zombie-robot | arrrg i cant find anything on mozilla.com about my flash problem | 02:16 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: no, it's a directory icon with what looks like a pipe going into it | 02:16 |
| okaygo | i though ubuntu was a windows program????????? | 02:16 |
| harpreet_ | okaygo: use open office for free(dom) | 02:16 |
| mib_x15lmacb | how i can save the password i always have to set in my gmail widget so i dont miss my e-mails when it gets removed after each login? | 02:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | okaygo Not even remotely a windows program | 02:17 |

| xcerca | okaygo ---> www.ubuntu.com | 02:17 |
| Ahmuck | i've been using a higher resolution on my machine and now if i try to use 1024x768 the display is to large for the screen. the login screen is the same. this happened after logging out. how do fix this? | 02:17 |
| mram50 | oh yeah I do.. I sell scrap metal usually and whatever appliances run i resell them too.. sold a fridge, a stove,washing machine and a dishwasher last week plus about $300 worth of metal | 02:17 |
| raylu | xcerca: indeed. | 02:17 |
| losher | mram50: very cool, but off topic :-) | 02:17 |
| Severian | mram50 Good for you. | 02:17 |
| raylu | Bradj47: i've never used the feature you're talking about, so i'm not really familiar with it. if you don't mind restarting X, "sudo invoke-rc.d dbus restart" as i said earlier | 02:18 |
| raylu | Bradj47: that's the only thing i can think of | 02:18 |
| okaygo | sudo make sandwich | 02:18 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: ok, i'll try that | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | okaygo Please stop | 02:18 |
| mram50 | you have to be willing to get dirty and talk to mainenence people at apartment complexes, but yeah..the money's out there ;).. Yeah, a bit off topic LOL | 02:18 |

| sica | hello Jack_Sparrow i removed quite and splash and it hangs out right after the boot, it hangs for a few secs with just the mouse in the middle of the screen then desktop appears | 02:20 |
| okaygo | skippy: try unetbootin | 02:20 |
| skippy | Thanks! | 02:20 |
| leagris | are there any missing applications/codecs in ubuntu64 compared to ubuntu32, or can I go stright to 64bits ? | 02:20 |
| skippy | unetbootin? | 02:20 |
| okaygo | It's a program for making bootable USB. | 02:20 |
| okaygo | XPlatform too. | 02:20 |
| raylu | leagris: everything is there, but somethings don't work as well. flash and wine come to mind | 02:20 |

| Samus_Aran | hello. I have a system using 8.04 LTS and want to upgrade it to 8.10 then 9.04. all the guides say to use either do-release-upgrade or the System > Administration > System Upgrade. neither of these exist. I have installed update-manager-core. | 02:22 |
| raylu | leagris: i had showstopping issues with some "platinum" apps | 02:22 |
| losher | mram50: if unetbootin works, you shoudl be able to just fine... | 02:22 |
| mram50 | thanks losher.. cya later.. getting hot in here so out to the ol garage and yank out some parts. ;) | 02:22 |
| Lyth | I need an equalizer to use with ubuntu. | 02:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Samus_Aran <ubottu> Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 02:22 |
| okaygo | What do you mean by 'persistent' skippy? | 02:22 |
| raylu | sica: that sounds like a login issue, not a boot issue | 02:22 |
| raylu | okaygo: i think he wants his changes to be saved on the drive | 02:22 |
| zombie-robot | i'm using ubuntu 8.04 amd64 and my flash plugin sux. can anyone use the uploader on megaupload? | 02:23 |
| Pixels | pidgin doesnt support webcam in MSN :( any alternative? | 02:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | okaygo Persistent is using a livecd and your changes stay on the usb etc | 02:23 |
| sica | automatic login raylu | 02:23 |
| xcerca | Pixels | 02:23 |
| Lyth | So, theres no way to do this without redoing my entrie sound system? | 02:23 |
| Pixels | xcerca | 02:23 |
| xcerca | you can use aMSN | 02:23 |
| okaygo | If the media is R/W then shouldn't you be able to install a distro on a USB. | 02:23 |
| leagris | raylu, I'm getting a 6Gb ram PC with I7 CPU next week and have not decided uppon using a bigmem kernel or a real 64bit one | 02:23 |
| raylu | sica: right. but quiet and splash have nothing to do with that | 02:23 |
| Pixels | xcerca: cool bananas, ty | 02:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zombie-robot 8.04 has reached eol and is no longer supported, please try a newer version | 02:23 |
| sica | and also that wasn't hangin there a couple of days ago | 02:23 |
| Samus_Aran | Jack_Sparrow: I know how ot upgrade undeer normal circumstances. I simply don't have an upgrade app available on command line or GUI | 02:23 |
| raylu | leagris: what apps do you depend on? | 02:23 |
| Samus_Aran | !upgrade | 02:23 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 02:23 |
| Severian | Samus_Aran, Open up Synaptic. Go to Settings/Repositories/Update Set Release upgrade to normal releases and then run updates manager. | 02:23 |
| raylu | leagris: i've been using 64-bit, dualboot, and i've had no showstoppers overall | 02:23 |
| leagris | raylu, World Of Warcraft ^^ | 02:23 |
| harpreet_ | leagris: for how much? | 02:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Samus_Aran Upgrading after EOL is NOT the same | 02:24 |
| sica | raylu: it was just to check if it was after or during the boot | 02:24 |
| losher | Jack_Sparrow: I thought 8.04 is on long term support | 02:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Samus_Aran <ubottu> Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 02:24 |
| raylu | leagris: i actually feel that the issue has at least something to do with my intel mobile 4 express card than 64-bit | 02:24 |
| ensignavenger | Hi everyone- I'm a Linux noob- just installed Ubuntu server 9.04- I need to setup a Raid 1 mirror, but the manual only has instructions for doing this during the install- is there anyway to do it after the install? Does anyone have instructions? | 02:24 |
| Samus_Aran | Severian: I don't *have* an update manager. that's the problem. I have set it to show normal releases | 02:24 |
| Bradj47 | raylu: it's unmounted now | 02:24 |
| zombie-robot | what 8.04 is still supported? | 02:24 |
| Bradj47 | thanks | 02:24 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| raylu | sica: if X starts, it's after boot | 02:24 |
| Samus_Aran | Jack_Sparrow: 8.04 LTS is not past end of life, so why are you telling me that ? | 02:25 |
| raylu | !lts | zombie-robot | 02:25 |
| ubottu | zombie-robot: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 02:25 |
| leagris | harpreet_, the all thing for about 1200€ | 02:25 |
| sica | raylu: what can i do to fix? | 02:25 |
| elitecoder | What exactly is causing this? /sbin/ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth2 src 192.168.2.1 table 1 | 02:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Samus_Aran Thought you said gutsy | 02:25 |
| elitecoder | RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument | 02:25 |
| _polto__ | hey guys, anyone running Ubuntu 9.04 on EeeBox B202 ? I have a really big CPU load and I do not understand why. X11 consume 30% CPU without showing any single window. If I do ping flooding on my LAN it use almost 100% of CPU | 02:25 |
| Severian | Samus_Aran, If you go to the System Menus/Administration/ do you see update manager? | 02:25 |
| raylu | sica: you could try moving your .gnome, .gnome2, or .gconf directories, but i'm not really sure | 02:25 |
| zombie-robot | yea no Sh** | 02:25 |
| zombie-robot | its still supported | 02:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zombie-robot Lose the rude shorthand | 02:26 |
| harpreet_ | leagris: i built one today for $550 US, 4gb ram, nvidia 8400, gigabyte mobo, phenomX3, dvdrw | 02:26 |
| zombie-robot | srry | 02:26 |
| _polto__ | I do not think EeeBox B202 is so cheap and unpowerfull, I'dd like to get more from it. | 02:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !eee | 02:26 |
| ubottu | Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 02:26 |
| harpreet_ | leagris: monitor, keyboard, mouse, included | 02:26 |
| sica | <raylu> sica: you could try moving your .gnome, .gnome2, or .gconf directories, but i'm not really sure ← anyone have a clue (slow x start) | 02:26 |
| Samus_Aran | Jack_Sparrow: /etc/*rel* says Ubuntu 8.04.02 Hardy | 02:26 |
| Samus_Aran | Severian: no, as I said in my first line after joining. | 02:27 |
| _polto__ | thanks | 02:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Samus_Aran YEs, Hardy is supported | 02:27 |
| leagris | harpreet_, went DDR3, gigabyte MB, Nvidia 260, Coolermaster power bloc and case | 02:28 |
| Severian | Samus_Aran, how about /usr/bin/update-manager | 02:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot | 02:28 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: sudo aptitude install update-manager | grep State | 02:28 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:28 |
| Samus_Aran | Jack_Sparrow: so now how can I get either a GUI or command line upgrade app ? | 02:28 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: sorty: sudo aptitude show update-manager | grep State | 02:28 |
| funkyHat | s/sorty/sorry/ | 02:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Samus_Aran PAstebin your sources list so we can have a look.. NOT in the channel ty | 02:28 |
| iuri | hi there, i have no wireless setup on my ubuntu 9.04 | 02:28 |
| Samus_Aran | Severian: no | 02:28 |
| zombie-robot | so can anybody using hardy get the megaupload uploader to work? | 02:28 |
| fallore | reinstalling windows overwrote the MBR and so i need to reinstall grub. i burned a knoppix CD and am going to follow instructions from a website. the only question i have is how i can determine the root partition of the ubuntu install? | 02:28 |
| iuri | i just installed and the icon systray is turned off | 02:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fallore sudo fdisk -l will help | 02:29 |
| BeatlesFan | fallore, root partition will mount to "/" | 02:29 |
| iuri | i believe it needs to install something | 02:29 |
| BeatlesFan | fallore, look in gpart, you will see it | 02:29 |
| fallore | okay | 02:29 |
| Severian | Samus_Aran, then the sudo apt-get install update-manager is your next step. | 02:29 |
| funkyHat | BeatlesFan: that's not much help, he can't boot from it at the moment so partitions won't be mounted in the normal places | 02:30 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: update-manager was not installed, installing it now. very stupid that all the guides say to install update-manager-core, which provides nothing, but not update-manager | 02:30 |
| tritium | Samus_Aran: update-manager is installed by default. | 02:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | funkyHat gparted will show him what he needs | 02:30 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: odd, saying to install update-manager-core is pretty stupid, as installing update-manager will install everything it needs | 02:30 |
| losher | !mbr | 02:31 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:31 |
| Severian | Samus_Aran, update manager was installed by default. That is why the guides say to use it. You at some point deleted it. | 02:31 |
| funkyHat | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I was a bit behind with my reply | 02:31 |
| IamSOG | will ext 4 slows down a PC? because I have this old PC I am going to install Xubuntu to, but I don't know if I shold use Ext4 | 02:31 |
| KyleK | hey is there a way I can kill a ssh session thats hung from the client side? like i ssh somewhere.com, get disconnected from the internet so I know its hung, how can I kill it? | 02:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:31 |
| losher | !mbr > fallore | 02:31 |
| losher | !mbr | fallore | 02:31 |
| ubottu | fallore: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:31 |
| raylu | KyleK: there is a shortcut, but i don't remember it. can't you just close the terminal? | 02:31 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: I would prefer to do the command line do-release-update, but it isn't available. I'd like to run the upgrade in GNU Screen. | 02:31 |
| ensignavenger | Anyone know of a tutorial on setting up RAID1 on an already installed and running server? | 02:31 |
| KyleK | raylu: i'd prefer to kill it, press up and then enter to reconnect ;) | 02:32 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: install do-release-update is part of update-manager-core | 02:32 |
| Severian | IamSOG, don't use ext4 on any important machine. It can become corrupted. | 02:32 |
| Samus_Aran | Severian: this isn't my system, and I didn't remove it. I can't imagine the system owner removing it, either. unless some app that was installed said it needed to remove it | 02:32 |
| KyleK | raylu: I've been getting by with killall ssh | 02:32 |
| raylu | KyleK: it'll be in your .bash_history, so up will still work after restarting the terminal | 02:32 |
| IamSOG | oic, thanks Severian I guess ext4 is still pretty new :D | 02:32 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: I have removed and reinstalled update-manager-core, and I do not have a command "do-release-update". | 02:32 |
| raylu | KyleK: and so will !sshj | 02:32 |
| raylu | KyleK: !ssh, sorry | 02:32 |
| KyleK | true | 02:32 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: try the full path /usr/bin/do-release-update | 02:33 |
| Severian | IamSOG, it is new and worth experimenting with. | 02:33 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: already did, doesn't exist | 02:33 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: sounds iffy :/ | 02:33 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: and confirmed the $PATH contains /usr/bin and other expected directories | 02:33 |
| IamSOG | I see... thanks Severian | 02:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | ensignavenger, i remember searching for the same info at one point - didn't really find how to do it after install, might just be easier to try the install again (what info i did find was pretty complicated for me as I hadn't delt with RAID under linux before) good luck. | 02:33 |
| raylu | KyleK: http://rwcduj.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/how-to-kill-frozen-ssh-sessions/ | 02:33 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: you could just update your sources.list manually and then do an upgrade using aptitude | 02:34 |
| KyleK | ohhhhh | 02:34 |
| KyleK | enter squiggle dot | 02:34 |
| KyleK | I was trying just squiggle dot | 02:34 |
| luis_ | hi | 02:35 |
| geofft | Are the netboot images/files signed? | 02:35 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: I just used Synaptic to check if /usr/bin/do-release-update is installed, and it says it is ... bah | 02:35 |
| Ahmuck | is there a way to search bug reports on launchpad? | 02:35 |
| zombie-robot | can anybody using hardy get the megaupload uploader to work? | 02:35 |
| luis_ | anyone knows how install cedega?? | 02:35 |
| fallore | alright, i'm back on knoppix this time, would someone mind giving me the command to see my partitions with terminal (or another method to do so?) | 02:35 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: err, it's do-release-upgrade sorry | 02:36 |
| Severian | fallore, fdisk /dev/sda and then p | 02:36 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: problem solved. yeah, that. sorry... should have used tab-completion on do-TAB TAB to fill it in | 02:36 |
| ensignavenger | ZykoticK9 The problem is that it takes a long time to transfer the data back after doing an install- and the server needs to be up as much as possible. | 02:36 |
| KyleK | raylu: thanks, thats been plauging me for the past month | 02:36 |
| Ahmuck | luis_: /join #cedega | 02:36 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: :) | 02:36 |
| fallore | thanks Severian | 02:36 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: I was speaking across the room to the system owner who was typing in the commands ... not sure if they got it wrong, or if I did | 02:37 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: I said do-release-update at one point | 02:37 |
| okaygo | fallore: hey sexi. | 02:38 |
| losher | KyleK: by "squiggle" I assume you mean tilde ? | 02:38 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: ah. but I was obviously doing it even before joining here as well, heh | 02:38 |
| Samus_Aran | funkyHat: thanks for your assistance | 02:38 |
| funkyHat | Samus_Aran: true :). and no problem | 02:39 |
| JoshuaP0x | anyone know of Zune support for ubuntu w/o using Wine? | 02:39 |
| Samus_Aran | Severian, tritium, Jack_Sparrow as well | 02:39 |
| Samus_Aran | cheers, night | 02:39 |
| fallore | i need help following these intructions: determine the root partition of your linux system, then mount it "dev" option enabled, with write permissions. If the filesystem isn't mounted you'll need to mount it like this (be sure to change "hda1" and "hda" to match the root location/device in your own system): sudo mount -o dev,rw /mnt/hda1 | 02:39 |

| BeatlesFan | just ordered the geforce 6200 512MB PCI card...to replace my onboard intel graphics... | 02:40 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, ok cool | 02:40 |
| Gnea | BeatlesFan: a wise decision | 02:40 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, what happened to the 7600?? :) | 02:40 |
| BeatlesFan | coz, no AGP!!! :( | 02:40 |
| KyleK | losher: ~ squiggle, i thought ` was a tilde | 02:40 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, oh darn | 02:41 |
| JoshuaP0x | losher: like Kosher? | 02:41 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: yeah, I have to replace my MB | 02:41 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, well as I said before that series of card should be supported for at least another year and a half | 02:41 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: I had to return the 7600 back to tigerdirect | 02:41 |
| Severian | JoshuaP0x, I am pretty sure there is no such thing. I have a friend who won a Zune at a MS event and he has not been able to use it to this day. | 02:41 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, oh man it wasnt agp? | 02:41 |
| pasteeater | Why do Debian (Exim) and Ubuntu (Postfix) use different default MTAs? | 02:42 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: becuase my mb spec says there's an AGP but when you open the case and actually look at the board - no AGP slot!! | 02:42 |
| losher | JoshuaP0x: no, losher like nosher/posher. JoshuaP0x like chicken-pox ? | 02:42 |
| geofft | raylu: I am looking at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 02:42 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, oh no what slot is it? | 02:42 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: it's empty | 02:42 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: I have 3 PCI and thats it | 02:42 |
| JoshuaP0x | Severian: That stinks. :o( | 02:42 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, oh man well with the 512 megs it may be just fine | 02:42 |
| JoshuaP0x | losher: yes. | 02:43 |
| losher | KyleK: ~ is tilde, ` is a backtick | 02:43 |
| coz_ | BeatlesFan, you could order another motherboard with agp they are cheap one the will house your cpu | 02:43 |
| geofft | raylu: oh, duh, one directory up has the md5sums. never mind. | 02:43 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: right I know | 02:43 |
| geofft | well, wait, that's not signed. that doesn't help. | 02:43 |
| * losher thinks screen names are a fascinating little art-form | 02:43 | |

| hclhdj | everybody,how can i install vidalia .0.1.12? | 02:44 |
| losher | fallore: you still needing help? | 02:44 |
| Loganhoup | Can someone help me, I'm having problems with my pulseaudio setup. | 02:44 |
| raylu | geofft: 54f93db03a5b13698abb5b4532a24a3e ./netboot/netboot.tar.gz | 02:44 |
| BeatlesFan | coz_: ok... | 02:44 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, what is vidalia ...while I google :) | 02:44 |
| geofft | raylu: yeah, I see that, but that's not signed. that's just an md5sum | 02:45 |
| raylu | geofft: oh, signed | 02:45 |
| raylu | geofft: heh, i'm a step behind today | 02:45 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, did you download the source tar ball? | 02:45 |
| hclhdj | coz_: i see the "install" file ,but .. | 02:45 |
| hclhdj | coz_: yes, i download | 02:45 |
| raylu | geofft: you could mention it to #ubuntu-dev | 02:45 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, ok open a terminal and cd to the location of that extracted pacakge and then cd into it | 02:46 |
| losher | geofft: raylu: signed is kinda overkill. md5sum is quite adequate for most purposes... | 02:46 |
| zaccour | is there a safe way to remove evolution? | 02:46 |
| colton_ | Does anyone know where I could find the documentation for the linux 64bit system calls? | 02:46 |
| hclhdj | coz_: i make the dir "mkdir buil" | 02:46 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, then in terminal type mkdir build && cd build | 02:46 |
| hclhdj | coz_: i make the dir "mkdir build" | 02:46 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, yes then cd build | 02:47 |
| hclhdj | coz_: ok | 02:47 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, then type cmake .. | 02:47 |
| crdlb | zaccour: it is reasonably safe to uninstall evolution as long as you install ubuntu-desktop again before you upgrade to a new release (which will restore evolution) | 02:47 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, remember the two dots though | 02:47 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, this is coded in C++ | 02:47 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, so cmake .. | 02:47 |
| hclhdj | coz_: wait | 02:47 |
| Loganhoup | Stressing pulseaudio by playing almost any type of sound for a period of time will crash and anything I play from then on will hang and skip. Oddly enough, it also seems to kill my internet connection with it. Yet wicd stills shows it is connected. The only way I can to find to fix it is to restart my system. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. | 02:47 |
| harpreet_ | crdlb: thats a good idea, this way he will get newest packages | 02:47 |
| hclhdj | coz_: no "cmake"......... | 02:48 |
| boss_mc | Loganhoup: you probably want to ask in #pulseaudio they're the devs | 02:48 |
| harpreet_ | Loganhoup: it is intel based system , right? | 02:48 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, sudo apt-get install cmake | 02:48 |
| Loganhoup | harpreet: no | 02:48 |
| Loganhoup | harpreet: It's an ATI chipset | 02:48 |
| losher | Loganhoup: 9.04 ? | 02:49 |
| hclhdj | coz_: then i setup cmake | 02:49 |
| Loganhoup | losher: yes | 02:49 |
| fallore | losher: yes i still need help | 02:49 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, then run cmake .. | 02:49 |
| harpreet_ | logankoester: atis are hard in linux, anytime i make a system i make sure i dont see ati on mobo, | 02:49 |
| losher | Loganhoup: 9.04 is notorious for sound problems. Start googling... | 02:49 |
| bastid_raZor | coz_, hclhdj wouldn't installing build-essential have all the required tools he needs? | 02:49 |
| coz_ | bastid_raZor, all but cmake | 02:50 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, then run make | 02:50 |
| boss_mc | How does Loganhoup's graphics chipset effect his pulseaudio setup? | 02:50 |
| bastid_raZor | coz_, ah, didn't know that it did not include cmake | 02:50 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, if you want to install this then run sudo make install | 02:50 |
| losher | fallore: Remind me: You lost your boot block after installing windows after Ubuntu & wanted to restore it using Knoppix live ? | 02:50 |
| Loganhoup | losher: I have and I have posted in the perfect setup thread on the ubuntu forums. I have received no help from google. Do not assume I have not researched this before asking here. | 02:50 |
| fallore | losher: yes | 02:50 |
| coz_ | bastid_raZor, also it wont include QT or qmake | 02:51 |
| okaygo | fallore: just stick your forehead into your PC. | 02:51 |
| hclhdj | coz_: Qt qmake not found! | 02:51 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, yeah hold on | 02:51 |
| Ahmuck | hi. i used to have a resolution 1024x768 and above. now i have 800x600 and that is all that is given to me as a choice. is there a way to fix this ? | 02:51 |

| okaygo | :[ | 02:51 |

| GimliGlider | ubuntu sucks hard | 02:51 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, hold on trying here | 02:51 |
| boss_mc | Loganhoup: have you tried in #pulseaudio? They'll walk you through getting the data they need to help either fix your problem immediately or in a leter version of pulse... | 02:52 |
| hclhdj | coz_: :( | 02:52 |
| harpreet_ | GimliGlider: whats wrong | 02:52 |
| losher | Loganhoup: I;ve lost count of the number of people on here with 9.04 sound problems since it came out. No one solution seems to fix them all. I know there are a bazillion pages about things to try. One of them may work for you, or it may not... | 02:52 |
| palantbon | ubuntu is great no virus's | 02:52 |
| GimliGlider | harpreet_ what's wrong is it doesn't make money | 02:52 |
| losher | fallore: do you not have a ubuntu live cd? It would be much easier... | 02:52 |
| GimliGlider | shut up noob | 02:52 |
| harpreet_ | GimliGlider: it does make money | 02:52 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, on element would be sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake | 02:52 |
| GimliGlider | no it doens't u idiot | 02:52 |
| boss_mc | losher: most problems are in part due to ubuntu using pulse but not installing paman by default... | 02:52 |
| GimliGlider | it's funded by mark shuttleworth alone | 02:53 |
| harpreet_ | GimliGlider: how? | 02:53 |
| hclhdj | coz_: wati me. | 02:53 |
| losher | boss_mc: meet Loganhoup .... | 02:53 |
| harpreet_ | GimliGlider: it does make money | 02:53 |
| boss_mc | losher: and sound being piped to weird places etc | 02:53 |
| * eseven73 smells a troll | 02:53 | |
| boss_mc | losher: true.... | 02:53 |
| GimliGlider | harpreet_ do you have harpees? | 02:53 |
| hclhdj | coz_: i install qt now | 02:53 |
| === ring1 is now known as ring0 | ||
| fallore | i don't think so, losher. would it matter if the version was lower than my current install? | 02:53 |
| harpreet_ | !language | Gimliglider | 02:54 |
| ubottu | Gimliglider: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:54 |
| losher | fallore: I don't think so, but if you've already booted knoppix I'm game to try if you are... | 02:54 |
| fallore | of course i am. i also have a website i can show you that has what i assume are working directions, i just need help deciphering one part. | 02:54 |
| losher | fallore: ok, what's the url you're using? | 02:55 |
| hclhdj | coz_: also error----when i run "cmake.."--"Could NOT find QtGlobal header" | 02:55 |
| bpun | i'm using tightvnc and the mouse cursor moves to the lower right corner of the tightvnc viewer.. there a way to fix this?(guest is ubuntu) | 02:55 |

| Enissay | Is it possible to create a user session under ubuntu 8.10, where this user can only run two specific applications? | 02:56 |

| fallore | harpreet_: losher: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/52062-reinstalling-windows-removes-grub.html | 02:56 |
| boss_mc | is it as simple as resising the mirrors as well...? | 02:56 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, one is sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev | 02:56 |
| losher | fallore: ok. does 'df -h' show a disk is mounted? | 02:57 |
| bpun | losher, "whatis df" | 02:57 |
| bpun | losher, the mount command shows mountpoints mounted | 02:57 |
| byerley | Hi, I'm trying to install mysql-server on ubuntu 8.04. I'm unable to start it and I'm not sure why. Syslog gives me http://pastebin.com/m6770217f | 02:58 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, ok yeah sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev should take care of all dependencies | 02:58 |
| losher | bpun: either should work ok | 02:58 |
| fallore | losher: /dev/hdd seems to be the only thing that looks like a mounted disk, though there are ~10 entries | 02:58 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, once you install those run cmake .. | 02:58 |
| bpun | losher, df doesn't show the mountpoints | 02:58 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, then make | 02:58 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, then sudo make install | 02:58 |
| bpun | losher, no. | 02:58 |
| fallore | care to suggest an alternative, bpun? | 02:59 |
| hclhdj | coz_: yes! thank you,i test it | 02:59 |
| losher | bpun: my df shows mount points... | 02:59 |
| fallore | losher: bpun: fdisk /dev/sda and then p was suggested to me earlier | 02:59 |
| coz_ | now I have to figure out what this vidalia is other than an onion :) | 02:59 |
| bpun | fallore, ah.. well i have no idea who's asking what.. df has nothing to do with mountpoints | 02:59 |
| zaccour | whats the difference between ubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop? | 03:00 |
| bastid_raZor | heh | 03:00 |
| tesseracter | i want to connect to my uncles ubuntu desktop from my ubuntu desktop. whats the easiest server-side setup for this? | 03:00 |
| fallore | well, bpun, i'm trying to do this: determine the root partition of your linux system, then mount it "dev" option enabled, with write permissions. If the filesystem isn't mounted you'll need to mount it like this (be sure to change "hda1" and "hda" to match the root location/device in your own system): | 03:00 |
| bpun | zaccour, ubuntu uses gnome as its default desktop | 03:00 |
| bpun | zaccour, (gdm service runs) | 03:00 |
| bpun | zaccour, gdm is the login default.. | 03:01 |
| losher | fallore: if your disks are named /dev/hd then you'll need instead: fdisk -l /dev/hda | 03:01 |
| bastid_raZor | !ssh > tesseracter | 03:01 |
| ubottu | tesseracter, please see my private message | 03:01 |
| zaccour | bpun but they look different, is ubuntu desktop just a modified gnome? | 03:01 |
| bpun | zaccour, (gdm compares to kdm.. but who cares.. gnome the default desktop is available on ubuntu) | 03:01 |
| m1chael | does anyone know of a way i can run a script like.. "./scan blahhblahblah" and have the script scan whatever is in the scanner and save the file as blahblahblah.jpg ??? | 03:01 |
| bpun | zaccour, i guess all distros tweak the default loading applets that load on the taskbar.. | 03:01 |
| fallore | losher: that command doesn't do anything (afaik) | 03:01 |
| zaccour | bpun oh ok thanks | 03:02 |
| === centaur5_ is now known as centaur5 | ||
| losher | bpun: fallore: well, we can't both drive. Fallore, please choose a helper. I don't mind which | 03:02 |
| tesseracter | bastid_raZor, i want the desktop, not command line--i need to show him how to do stuff. i can use ssh to get that stuff ready, i suppose. | 03:02 |
| bpun | zaccour, the default browser should be nautilus.. if u click about on the file manager menu.. | 03:02 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, here is an ubuntu how to other than actually doing what we did http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/03/howto-setup-vidalia-tor-gui-with-ubuntu.html | 03:02 |
| zaccour | bpun whats nautilus? | 03:02 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, by the way cmake is going to take a bit of time to complete | 03:02 |
| bpun | zaccour, if its konqueror..(clicking on a home icon frmo the desktop, or clicking home from somewhere in a start menu--) then its kde | 03:03 |
| bpun | zaccour, name for the local file browser.. | 03:03 |
| fallore | losher: i'd like you to help as long as you don't mind. i was just trying to explain to him what we were doing. | 03:03 |
| bpun | zaccour, like konqueror is for the kde desktop | 03:03 |
| hclhdj | coz_: i go to see you give me the site | 03:03 |
| bpun | zaccour, konqueror or nautilus >> windows_explorer | 03:03 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, that is an old site | 03:03 |
| bastid_raZor | tesseracter, vnc may be something to look in to. not sure if you will both see the same desktop at the same time | 03:03 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, I just noticed that so it may be out of date | 03:03 |
| hclhdj | coz_: can't going to....... | 03:04 |
| losher | fallore: ok. first we need to find out what disks knoppix thinks you have. Try 'dmesg | egrep hd' and see what it says | 03:04 |
| wireaper | ay | 03:04 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, did you do make install yet? | 03:04 |
| wireaper | just figured out how to get irc working | 03:04 |
| wireaper | only took me 20mins! | 03:04 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, and which version of vidalia do you have there? | 03:04 |
| hclhdj | coz_: i think i should setuo all the qt4 | 03:04 |
| mib_x15lmacb | hey does anyone know how i can store my gmail widget's login and pass in keyrings? | 03:05 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, hold on let me check something | 03:05 |
| fallore | losher: http://pastebin.com/d4e03005b | 03:05 |
| h4mx0r | I some how deleted my desktop directory. How do I make a new one? Its got files from ~/ loaded all over my desktop. | 03:05 |
| wireaper | how do you see the userlist | 03:05 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, guess what? | 03:05 |
| wireaper | im on xchat-gnome | 03:05 |
| bastid_raZor | tesseracter, if you read up on the ssh page you'll see X forwarding. not sure if that'll show you both the same desktop either.. i'm assuming that is what you want. something you can control his desktop remotely while he watches | 03:05 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, sudo apt-get install vidalia | 03:05 |
| bpun | h4mx0r, cd to home a mkdir "Desktop" | 03:05 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, and you are done | 03:06 |
| h4mx0r | bpun: I did that but its not accepting it | 03:06 |
| wireaper | nvm, figured it out | 03:06 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, delte the source tarball | 03:06 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, and just do sudo apt-get install vidalia | 03:06 |
| geofft | h4mx0r, have you logged out and back in? | 03:06 |
| losher | fallore: I only see the CD drive. Try 'dmesg | more' and look for something that looks like a hard drive... | 03:06 |
| jrib | h4mx0r: you'll need to update ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 03:06 |
| h4mx0r | bpun: geofft will try | 03:06 |
| bpun | h4mx0r, dunno.. logout then in ? | 03:06 |
| Gourlis | what ubuntu does when it says a NOTICE at startup UNCLEAN SHUTDOWN ? | 03:06 |
| bpun | h4mx0r, if it still fails.. try using gconfedit or sommthing | 03:07 |
| fallore | nothing, losher. would a live cd necessarily show those things? | 03:07 |
| h4mx0r | jrib: that directory doesn't exist so gonna try relogging | 03:07 |
| bpun | Gourlis, it does a fsck ? | 03:07 |
| geofft | h4mx0r, the desktop window will use ~/Desktop if it existed when it started, otherwise ~ | 03:07 |
| harpreet_ | Gourlis: that means you shut it down without proper procedure | 03:07 |
| Gourlis | bpun, what's fsck ? | 03:07 |
| bpun | Gourlis, filesystem check | 03:08 |
| losher | fallore: yes, when it boots, it probes all the devices. There should be an entry that shows it saw your hard drive | 03:08 |
| Gourlis | oh | 03:08 |
| hclhdj | coz_: ok , i test it | 03:08 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, but you still have to install Tor | 03:08 |
| h4mx0r | logging out then back in did solve the problem, thanks | 03:08 |
| Gourlis | harpreet or bpun, how can I do once in a month a full system scan to fix it's problems ? | 03:08 |
| bpun | Gourlis, ya should get a ups if ur power went out... | 03:08 |

| bpun | Gourlis, i no expert.. but i never had to.. | 03:08 |
| Gourlis | bpun, thanks for ur help anyway! | 03:09 |
| losher | fallore: yes, that looks more like it. It's a removable disk? | 03:09 |
| bpun | Gourlis, it's when ur system loses power and the OS didn't flush all the final changes.. | 03:09 |
| aaditya | haven't received an update for about 2 weeks now | 03:09 |
| Gourlis | bpun, ok dude something else.. | 03:09 |
| geofft | dft: It's a sparse file. Each person's login is recorded at their uid times some offset into the file | 03:09 |
| fallore | that might be an actual removable disk, like my card reader or something losher. lemme look around | 03:09 |
| aaditya | anyone else noticed the same? | 03:09 |
| hclhdj | coz_: i have install tor.......but only tor ,work is so bad,always can't go to the site | 03:09 |
| geofft | dft: It doesn't actually take up that much space on disk (as you probably assumed) | 03:09 |
| coz_ | hclhdj, ok | 03:09 |
| dft | geofft: I noticed | 03:09 |
| Gourlis | bpun, when my ubuntu doesn't response, I can do anything like Ctrl + ALt + Del like in Windows ? | 03:10 |
| bpun | Gourlis, maybe its the keyboard map.. | 03:10 |
| aaditya | !sysrq | Gourlis | 03:10 |

| jrib | ZykoticK9: if I recall correctly | 03:19 |
| allymarie | what to do with quarentined viruses | 03:19 |
| bastid_raZor | seth, the kubuntu package is and ubuntu package is for brasero | 03:19 |
| fallore | losher: mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/root': Permission denied | 03:20 |
| seth | @bastid_raZor So once I download those, I should just use Brasero? | 03:20 |
| losher | fallore: type: sudo mkdir /mnt/root | 03:20 |
| fallore | i did, losher, didn't output anything. | 03:20 |
| bastid_raZor | seth, you could use either one. it is a choice of preference. | 03:20 |

| jrib | ZykoticK9: no problem | 03:21 |
| dignan | if we convert the windows userbase to linux | 03:21 |
| seth | @bastid_raZor Oh. Ok. Well, I haven't had any luck trying to use k3b. So I'll give Brasero a try | 03:21 |
| losher | fallore: sudo mount -o dev,rw /dev/sda6 /mnt/root | 03:21 |
| foolz | and if not, is IE6 able to display PNG images on windows (even if it has alpha transparency problems) ? | 03:21 |
| dignan | linux will become viral | 03:21 |
| jrib | foolz: ask #winehq about how to properly install ie | 03:21 |
| jrib | dignan: do you have a support qusetion? | 03:21 |
| fallore | no output again, losher | 03:21 |
| bastid_raZor | seth, after you get those two packages installed goto k3b and the preferences>configure k3b> plugins .. see if all those are installed. | 03:22 |
| losher | fallore: perfect, now 'ls -l /mnt/root' (that's a lower case L btw) | 03:22 |
| fallore | done, losher | 03:22 |
| seth | @bastid_raZor Oh. Ok. So I do need to install Kubuntu too, even though I'm using Ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| allymarie | what kind of application do i open spybot in....an exe file??hmmmm | 03:22 |
| losher | fallore: see a bunch of files in there? | 03:22 |

| seth | @bastid_raZor Sorry. I'm struggling tonight. I feel bad that I'm struggling so badly. | 03:23 |
| allymarie | scunizi: why not? | 03:23 |
| scunizi | allymarie: or did I come in late and miss something? | 03:23 |
| bastid_raZor | seth, you can use any program that kubuntu has in ubuntu.. no worries. everyone has to learn at some point :) | 03:23 |
| xektrum | my usplash disappears just before the loads begins (just after the pulsing ends) and goes to text mode, does anyone knows how to fix this ? | 03:23 |
| fallore | allymarie: because spybot is a program for windows, and this is a channel for ubuntu (linux). | 03:24 |
| allymarie | scunizi: i have 5 viruses quarentined and need to know how to get rid of them for good...and would like spybot for backup | 03:24 |
| losher | fallore: ok,. now try 'sudo chroot /mnt/root bash' | 03:24 |
| scunizi | allymarie: quarentined in windows right? | 03:24 |

| Severian | foolz, using google, I see some css patches that purport to fix png support for IE6. For example, http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/ | 03:25 |

| scunizi | allymarie: from running wine? | 03:25 |
| bastid_raZor | seth,plugins.. if all those are installed then you're good to go. burning cd's to play in a car will work | 03:25 |

| scunizi | allymarie: If clam has quarentined them from something.. then they are on the HD.. find where clam put them and simply delete.. they won't hurt your system anyway. | 03:26 |

| ZykoticK9 | geofft, i was replacing the ">>" with "tee" not how it works? | 03:33 |
| geofft | ZykoticK9, no. You redirect output to tee with a pipe, and then you make tee privileged | 03:34 |

I'm not sure about your special mouse cases.. but if Xorg has no problem recognizing the higher buttons on its own.. no extra software should be required | 03:42 |

| scales11 | hi all. i am trying to blacklist a driver, i tried | 03:45 |
| scales11 | sudo echo zd1211rw >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 03:45 |
| scales11 | but it didnt seem to work? | 03:45 |
| fallore | losher: Error 15: File not found | 03:45 |
| zach74 | when i was on 8.04 my internet was a lot faster, why is it so slow with 9.04 | 03:46 |
| losher | fallore: ok. I wonder if the grub files are lost. Open another terminal | 03:46 |
| scunizi | mudittuli: you'd ctrl+alt+F2.. log in then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. then.. cd to the directory where the install file is and .. sudo ./<filename> .. after install .. sudo reboot now | 03:46 |
| fallore | losher: could this be because i have two hard drives? there is an edit and quote at the bottom of the post about this | 03:46 |
| tsimpson | scales11: user "echo zd1211rw | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" | 03:46 |

| skippy | I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. | 03:46 |
| fallore | losher: AND grub is not and would not be installed on the the hard drive i've been running windows off of for a while. | 03:47 |
| scunizi | mudittuli: it *should* be that simple.. that's the way I do it. | 03:47 |
| fallore | losher: both "edits" look like they may have some relevance to my problem | 03:47 |
| Edgar1 | hi, i have installed ubuntu 9.04 | 03:47 |
| fallore | congrats, edgar | 03:47 |
| Edgar1 | but now i can't listen anysound, no music | 03:47 |
| losher | fallore: well, we'll check again. In the new terminal, do 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' like last time | 03:47 |
| Edgar1 | not sure why, the volume is ok and the system detect that sound card | 03:48 |
| Edgar1 | help with this please | 03:48 |

| elitecoder | Why would this: /sbin/ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 table 1 dev eth2 src 192.168.2.1 give me RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument? | 03:49 |
| elitecoder | I've been trying to fix this for hours and I don't understand what the issue is | 03:49 |
| elitecoder | I tried re-ordering the variables to match the `ip route add help` syntax as closely as i can and it's still doing it | 03:49 |
| losher | fallore: ok, sudo fsck /dev/sda6 | 03:49 |
| fallore | same output as last time, losher | 03:49 |
| mphill_ | is static during audio play back a known issue? I've tried two different sound cards, both get static, the speakers seem fine when I use ESD. | 03:49 |
| dignan | tanath: a stab in the dark here.. try looking at the gconf settings for nautilus to see if there is a way to bind a key or mouse button to an action | 03:50 |
| skippy | I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. Should I try manually creating? | 03:50 |
| losher | fallore: good, now 'sudo mkdir /mnt/root' like last time | 03:50 |
| skippy | jI tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. | 03:51 |
| skippy | Should I try another way? | 03:51 |
| skippy | :) | 03:51 |

| tanath | dignan, hrm, thanks but didn't find anything :-/ | 03:51 |
| dignan | you looked in gconf editor? | 03:52 |
| fallore | done, losher | 03:52 |
| Kana-nano | im having a slight problem unstalling Wine, does anyone have a minute to help? | 03:52 |
| Kana-nano | installing* | 03:52 |
| LadyNikon | Kana-nano: i would explain what your problem is .. vs asking can someone help. | 03:52 |
| tanath | dignan, yeah | 03:52 |
| skippy | I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. | 03:52 |
| losher | fallore: ok, 'ls -l /mnt/root/boot/grub' & oaste | 03:53 |
| dignan | is there at least a way to bind key combos in nautilus to back and forward? | 03:53 |
| Kana-nano | sorry didnt want to be rude =3 | 03:53 |
| dignan | i'm guessing imwheel si a program that translates mouse presses into key presses? | 03:53 |
| fallore | losher: http://pastebin.com/d4973692f | 03:53 |
| tanath | dignan, not that i saw | 03:53 |
| dignan | ok | 03:53 |
| tanath | dignan, something like that yeah | 03:53 |
| Edgar1 | i stiil have no sound after chekc the alsamixer | 03:54 |
| losher | fallore: that looks perfect. All the grub files are there, including stage1 | 03:54 |
| Classic | hello | 03:54 |
| skippy | I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. | 03:54 |
| dignan | so there's a hard coded key combo in nautilus for forward and backward | 03:54 |
| dignan | I don't have nautilus anymore.. I have thunar | 03:54 |
| skippy | I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. How do you manually set up? | 03:54 |
| Kana-nano | but in any case. my ubuntu distro is about a year old and apparently didnt have libasound packaged into it. so i go to install Wine and it tells me its missing libasound | 03:54 |
| fallore | losher: do i have to use the hdd(x,y) bit then? | 03:54 |
| Kana-nano | so i DL the libasound2 packet installer, and i get an error that says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: lobasound2" | 03:54 |
| mimiloon | hi everybody, i have a quick question on firestarter and that is: i have multiple network cards and when i disconnect one network card and use the other, the firewall also stops. is there a way to make the firewall stay active no matter which network card i'm using? | 03:54 |
| skippy | I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. | 03:55 |
| Kana-nano | i have no idea what this means... any thoughts? | 03:55 |
| fallore | or the second edit in that forum post, losher? | 03:55 |
| skippy | I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. How do you do it manually? | 03:55 |
| losher | fallore: we'll get to that. Notice that there some extra steps in the guide for people who couldn't get grub to find the stage1 file? we're gonna try those... | 03:55 |
| fallore | alright | 03:55 |
| dignan | tanath: you might go into the gnome bugtraq and file a feature request for nautilus to do this | 03:55 |
| losher | fallore: ok, we already have /mnt/root and /dev/sda6 is mounted. Now we need to add: sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/root/proc | 03:56 |
| prag | how do i run ubuntu in windows | 03:56 |
| fallore | no output, losher | 03:56 |
| dignan | with a virtual machine | 03:56 |

| ericindc | Can someone suggest the easiest way to install Java (for JRuby) on Ubuntu? | 03:56 |

| prag | dignan what image do i need to download i got alternate image downloaded | 03:57 |
| dignan | Edgar1: are you using headphones that aren't plugged directly into your soundcard? | 03:57 |
| geofft | prag: what are you trying to do? Run Ubuntu programs? Play with Ubuntu? | 03:57 |
| Kana-nano | so nobody knows eh? | 03:57 |
| prag | no i already got ubuntu dual booting | 03:57 |
| dignan | prag: you need the regular ix86-32 image.. I would assume | 03:57 |
| prag | man | 03:57 |
| dignan | oh | 03:57 |
| dignan | you can boot your installation from within windows too | 03:58 |
| dignan | just tell vmware or virtualbox to use the partition | 03:58 |
| fallore | once again, losher, no output | 03:58 |
| losher | fallore: good, now sudo chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash | 03:58 |
| prag | dignan really | 03:58 |
| dignan | yes | 03:58 |
| Kana-nano | wow, this is why i asked if anyone had a minute. asking did nothing | 03:58 |
| dignan | with vmware you can, i don't know about vbox.. odds are you can | 03:58 |
| losher | fallore: then 'find /boot/grub/stage1' | 03:58 |
| fallore | Kana-nano: standard procedure is ask...wait...ask...wait...ask...wait... etc | 03:58 |
| prag | so i am downloading vmware server console that is what i need right | 03:59 |
| dignan | i've never used server. i've only used workstation | 03:59 |
| __mikem | dignan, even if you can't do it in virtualbox now, knowing those guys, its probably in the pipeline | 03:59 |
| dignan | i believe you have the stripped down free version that boots .vmx files | 03:59 |
| Edgar1 | i'm not using headphones | 03:59 |
| dignan | i would get virtualbox | 03:59 |
| dignan | Edgar1: have you ran alsamixer yet? | 03:59 |
| matari | Does anyone know if Ubuntu supports multiple mouse cursors? | 03:59 |
| fallore | losher: find: /boot/grub: No such file or directory | 03:59 |

| __mikem | what an impersonal way to deal with a simple mistake :( | 04:00 |
| fallore | sorry about that, losher and other. | 04:00 |
| Kana-nano | "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2" what does this mean and how can i fix it? | 04:00 |
| losher | fallore: so the find never returned a line like 'root (hd0,5)' | 04:01 |
| mib_3qj9ogdg | how can i make a terminal window so that you cant highlight anything with ur mouse? | 04:01 |

| losher | fallore: ok, exit from grub | 04:01 |
| Kana-nano | it wont unpack | 04:01 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, You downloaded a .deb file? or some sort of archive? | 04:01 |
| Kana-nano | dev | 04:01 |
| ed_debian | ok | 04:02 |
| losher | fallore: and do 'ls -l /boot/grub'. Does it show stage1 ? | 04:02 |
| Edgar1 | dignan yes i have | 04:02 |
| dignan | turn everything up to the max | 04:02 |
| orange-wedge | <Kana-nano> did you run the install as root? | 04:02 |
| dignan | everything that you see | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, It is telling you that to install that package you need the aforementioned package (the one that is unsatisfiable) | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | What was it called again? | 04:02 |
| dignan | how are you playing sounds here? | 04:02 |
| Kana-nano | uh | 04:02 |
| fallore | same error, losher. do i maybe have to point it at a particular hdd? | 04:02 |
| mib_3qj9ogdg | how can i make a terminal window so that you cant highlight anything with ur mouse? | 04:02 |
| Kana-nano | so its telling me that.. i need the package that it is... installed before i can install it? | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Who are you uh ... ing? | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Did it refer to itself? | 04:03 |
| Kana-nano | yes it did | 04:03 |
| unop_ | mib_3qj9ogdg, you should already be able to do that by default | 04:03 |
| Kana-nano | im trying to install Wine, but it wants libasound | 04:03 |
| unop_ | mib_3qj9ogdg, oh, can't?? | 04:03 |
| losher | fallore: the find is supposed to search all the drives. But we can try it. Nothing to lose at this point... | 04:03 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Well that is strange but you said it's a dev pacakge right? As in developer? | 04:03 |
| Kana-nano | so i dl libasound2-dev and get this error under its own status | 04:03 |
| losher | fallore: back into grub: 'sudo grub' | 04:03 |
| fallore | k | 04:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | matari, check out MPX or i guess there is also some sort of patch for xorg - good luck. | 04:04 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Do you know about the repos? | 04:04 |
| geofft | Kana-nano: I would imagine that libasound2-dev depends on libasound2. | 04:04 |
| losher | fallore: type root (hd0,5) | 04:04 |
| Edgar1 | i'm playing a song in totem | 04:04 |
| Kana-nano | no, ive only been running linux for a couple days now, attemping to get settled in with it | 04:04 |

| mudittuli | scunizi: nothing changed, same result ! | 04:05 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Linux is based on the idea of free software. The ubuntu developers have created a massive repository of software (pre-complied) that you can download and use for free | 04:05 |
| Kana-nano | yeah, this i understand | 04:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | matari, i don't really know much about it at all - found it when i tried to get two mice working, i gave up... hope you have better luck | 04:05 |

| scunizi | mudittuli: try installing nvidia-settings and running that.. | 04:06 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, There are a couple different ways to access these packages (they're called) The first and most simple is Add/ Remove | 04:06 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Have you used add / remove? | 04:06 |
| Kana-nano | yeah, im completly familiar with the package managers | 04:06 |
| matari | well if anyone's gotten Multi-pointer X to work any help would be appreciated :) | 04:06 |
| Edgar1 | what can i do in my case? | 04:06 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Ok, stop me again if I'm telling you something you already know | 04:07 |
| TimReichhart | hi guys I need some help on getting horde/imp to show up on my server I used the command line to install it by apt-get install imp4 | 04:07 |
| ed_debian | To get wine just get it from the repos! | 04:07 |
| Kana-nano | ok well, i guess its only fair if i state ive taken a linux class too | 04:07 |
| Kana-nano | so odds are, ill probably know the more basic things | 04:07 |
| n00b871 | ubotu: how do i ask you questions, what is the format? | 04:07 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, lucky | 04:07 |
| Kana-nano | expensive too | 04:07 |
| ed_debian | oic | 04:07 |
| Kana-nano | but go ahead | 04:07 |
| fallore | n00b871: simply ask what you think is your best attempt at formulating your question | 04:07 |
| mudittuli | scunizi: i tried that !, but the nvidia-setting is not running, even after nvidia-xcofig from the command line | 04:07 |
| Kana-nano | thats the problem, Wine refuses to install | 04:08 |
| ed_debian | If you run the command sudo apt-get install wine | 04:08 |
| ed_debian | ? | 04:08 |
| ed_debian | What happens? | 04:08 |
| losher | fallore: damn. I'm afraid I'm stuck then. The best I can offer at this stage is for you to keep reading that thread and try some of the different suggestions | 04:08 |
| Kana-nano | the Add/Remove packager states i should use synaptic to install Wine | 04:08 |
| scunizi | mudittuli: and nvidia-xconfig didn't do anything? did your update include a kernel upgrade? | 04:08 |
| Kana-nano | Synaptic states i need libasound | 04:08 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, did you? | 04:08 |
| ed_debian | ok... | 04:08 |
| n00b871 | fallore: so do i type in uobotu !myquestion ?what do i type in to get a response ,, sorry i am a n00b | 04:08 |
| Kana-nano | libasound says "dependency is not satisfiable" | 04:09 |
| mudittuli | scunizi: yes it did | 04:09 |
| ed_debian | n00b871, Just type the question and people will answer | 04:09 |
| girls_fromhaell | bandung | 04:09 |
| girls_fromhaell | bandung | 04:09 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, ok, because Wine is in the repos all of it's dependencies should all be in the repos. You should not need to download a package from the internet like you did (that's windows like) | 04:09 |
| Kana-nano | that was my first thought too. hence why im lost atm | 04:10 |
| n00b871 | ahh nice, ok i got it who likes salivadore dali paintings? | 04:10 |
| Kana-nano | i could CnP the exact wording of the errors if you think that might help | 04:10 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, search synaptic for "libasound" or whatever it is | 04:10 |
| Kana-nano | ok 1 sec | 04:11 |
| mudittuli | scunizi: the update didn't found a pre-compiled kernel, so it compiled one by itself ! | 04:11 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, That isn't necessary I get the idea | 04:11 |
| Flannel | n00b871: Please keep your questions on topic. This is a support channel. If you're looking for chat, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:11 |
| ed_debian | n00b871, I do? What does this have to do with ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| fallore | thanks for all your help, losher | 04:12 |
| scunizi | mudittuli: usually with a kernel upgrade a reinstall is necessary when using nvidia's driver. Obviously something else is going on. You might paruse the ubuntuforums.org and nvidia's linux forum. by pre-complied kernel, that happened when installing the nvidia driver? or during the update? | 04:12 |
| Kana-nano | ... it says its installed | 04:12 |
| Kana-nano | green box | 04:12 |
| n00b871 | i apologize, that must be off topic | 04:12 |
| TimReichhart | hi guys I need some help on getting horde/imp to show up on my server I used the command line to install it by apt-get install imp4 | 04:12 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, libasound is installed? | 04:12 |
| Kana-nano | yes | 04:12 |
| mudittuli | scunizi: and when i run nvidia-xconfig, a new xconfig file is written nothing more ! | 04:12 |
| Kana-nano | so claims synaptic | 04:12 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, But when you mark wine for installation what happens? | 04:12 |
| ed_debian | lol | 04:12 |
| losher | fallore: sorry it didn't solve your problem. I think we're close though, for what it's worth... :-( | 04:12 |
| ed_debian | so claims... | 04:12 |
| ed_debian | arrogant synaptic | 04:12 |
| Kana-nano | on synaptic? | 04:12 |
| FloodBot2 | ed_debian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:12 |
| Kana-nano | it gives me this: | 04:12 |
| ed_debian | sorry FloodBot2 :( | 04:12 |
| mudittuli | scunizi: that happen during nvidia | 04:13 |
| Kana-nano | The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled int he preferences | 04:13 |
| mudittuli | scunizi: that happen during installing nvidia driver * | 04:13 |
| fallore | losher: i got it ;) interested in the solution? :) | 04:13 |
| Kana-nano | wine: | 04:13 |
| Kana-nano | Depends: libasound2 (>1.0.18) but 1.0.15-3ubuntu4 is to be installed | 04:13 |

| arthurh | is there some kind of apt "meta package" that installs only security updates on an ubuntu server (9.04)? | 04:14 |
| ed_debian | go to system -> preferences -> software sources | 04:14 |
| fallore | losher: we forgot to chroot :P | 04:14 |
| scunizi | mudittuli: that's normal for the nvidia driver when installing the one direct from nvidia.. it needs to make a kernel mod. so I take it you've already install "build-essential" previously? | 04:14 |
| losher | fallore: so it works now? | 04:14 |
| fallore | losher: sudo chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash was the only step i didn't take. i did that and then followed all the instructions after (in the 2nd "NOTICE/EDIT" window) and it worked perfectly | 04:15 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, It might be system -> admin -> software sources | 04:15 |
| barbarella2 | mimiloon:you have to make rules for all interfaces | 04:15 |
| losher | fallore: and it boots (the acid test)? | 04:15 |
| IamSOG | um... what's in xubuntu 9.04 that makes it load so much longer? is it possible to remove that long loading time? | 04:15 |
| dan | IamSOG, Mine actually boots faster | 04:15 |
| IamSOG | dan you using ext4 ? | 04:15 |
| dan | IamSOG, yep | 04:16 |
| IamSOG | nice, sounds like I should try it then | 04:16 |
| Kana-nano | right, i have WineHQ selected under Third-Party Software and the key in the Authentication tab | 04:16 |
| Clusty | hey | 04:16 |
| Kana-nano | and reloaded afterwards | 04:16 |
| dan | IamSOG, I haven't tried it with SSD's but with a traditional HD it feels faster though I haven't done a quantitative test. | 04:17 |
| Clusty | i was dumb enough to enable home encryption during installation. is there a way to disable it? | 04:17 |
| mudittuli | scunizi: yes i have build-essential | 04:17 |
| mimiloon | barbarella2: how can i do that? i'm new to linux | 04:17 |
| Clusty | i think that I cannot auth with ssh keys because of this | 04:17 |
| cintya | oi | 04:18 |
| scunizi | mudittuli: sounds like either a regression on the new kernel or something else.. the only thing I can suggest at this point is to look at nvidia's linux forum and ubuntuforums.org.. I'm out of ideas.. you might boot into the previous kernel and reinstall the driver there where it worked until you get it sorted out. | 04:18 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Here is what I think it happening. You have enabled the WINE developers repo and when you search synaptic it automatically shows you the newest package (from the WINE repo) However the libasound that is currently in the ubuntu repos isn't new enough for the newest WINE package. Therefore it seems unattainable to synaptic. Try to install an older version of WINE or try removing that repo from your software sources. | 04:18 |
| fallore | losher: haven't tried yet, but i'll let you know | 04:18 |
| Kana-nano | ok hold on | 04:19 |
| losher | fallore: good luck | 04:19 |
| puff | How do I get gnome network-manager to stop yanking my wirelss card out of monitor mode? | 04:19 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, ubuntu has a wine package (you don't need that repo) it's just not as new (probably) | 04:19 |
| Clusty | puff: you kill it :D | 04:19 |
| barbarella2 | mimiloon:take a look at fwbuilder | 04:19 |
| Mipsalawishus | irc.dal.net | 04:19 |
| puff | Clusty: I wa safraid you were going to say that. | 04:19 |
| Clusty | puff: killall -9 NetworkManager/avahi | 04:19 |
| puff | Okay, once I'm done, how do I restart it? | 04:20 |
| scunizi | mudittuli: sorry I can't offer anything more.. :( | 04:20 |
| Clusty | puff: i presume you wanna crack wirelesses? | 04:20 |
| ed_debian | Also the reason that your libasound dev file wouldn't work is because it is a developer file. It is designed to take a working libasound package and update it. It is not a complete package. Rather it is a bunch of improved code | 04:20 |
| Kana-nano | ok i see what to do. ill follow up when im done doing just that | 04:20 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Ok, let me know how it goes! | 04:20 |
| mimiloon | barbarella2: i tried that but it's too complicated | 04:20 |
| puff | Clusty: No, actually it's my own network, I need to log an http session to debug what's going on with this webapp. | 04:20 |
| puff | (when accessed from a user's mac) | 04:20 |
| Clusty | puff: you get a nice tool with aircrack-ng called airmon or so | 04:21 |
| barbarella2 | mimiloon:there is a wizard in it to make things easy | 04:21 |
| Kana-nano | oh wait, you know what? | 04:21 |
| puff | Clusty: What does it do? | 04:21 |
| Kana-nano | this is Ubuntu's package | 04:21 |
| Clusty | puff: airmon status wlan0 or something like that tells you all processing interfering | 04:21 |
| GillaGal | Does anyone know how to add a UID/pass to mount a NFS share? | 04:21 |
| Clusty | puff: which i killed by hand | 04:21 |
| mimiloon | barbarella2: thanks, let me download it again | 04:21 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, What makes you say that? | 04:22 |
| puff | Ah-hah, cool. | 04:22 |
| puff | So I really kill *all* the processes with avahi in their name? | 04:22 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, (BTW if you type my name before the things you say my client will highlight it for me and I will respond sooner) | 04:22 |
| Clusty | puff: that is what i did :D. kill all and let god sort them :D | 04:22 |
| Kana-nano | this is the page i followed: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 04:22 |
| Clusty | puff: did not have time to investigate an elegant solution | 04:22 |
| Kana-nano | ed_debian: yeah, my fault. sorry about that | 04:23 |
| Clusty | puff: drawback is that you need to restart machine i guess to get back the nifty features | 04:23 |
| Kana-nano | ed_debian: but yeah, thats the page i used. and also followed its instructions to the T | 04:23 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, What page are you talking about? | 04:23 |
| Kana-nano | ed_debian: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 04:23 |
| ed_debian | oic | 04:23 |
| dan | ok so my main HD is encrypted with the Ubuntu filesystem encryption. I just added another HD. Is there a way to encrypt that also and link it to the main encryption or do I need to use a program like truecrypt? | 04:24 |
| ed_debian | You did good following the instructions | 04:24 |
| ed_debian | Kana-nano, Why do you think that the wine package you're trying to install is the ubuntu one? | 04:25 |
| jrib | Kana-nano: apt-cache policy wine on pastebin please | 04:26 |
| Kana-nano | ed_debian: doesnt Adding the WineHQ APT Repository from one of the links on that page give you that distro? | 04:26 |
| Clusty | so any1 has a clue about encrypted home dirts? | 04:26 |
| Clusty | dan: :D any clue how I can disable encryption for homes? its a regular ext4 with some funny loopback | 04:27 |
| billu | hi | 04:28 |

| scales11 | hey all, trying to use ubuntu 7.10, apt-get says most of the sources are not available? | 04:31 |
| SunnyDP | Hey! Do you guys think Fedora 11 will make a bigger impact as a desktop OS than Ubuntu 9.04 did? | 04:31 |
| LadyNikon | SunnyDP: thats really offtopic. i would ask something like that in #ubuntu-chat | 04:32 |
| Xcell | scales11- they stopped support for 7.10 | 04:32 |
| Gofforth | scales11: its probably because of the SSL Black list run the update manager and it will download the blacklist and then everything should be peach | 04:32 |
| SunnyDP | LadyNikon: sorry brother | 04:32 |
| LadyNikon | brother.. | 04:32 |
| LadyNikon | i wont even go there. | 04:32 |
| jrib | Kana-nano: hello? | 04:32 |
| wtl | can i set deluge to make active more than 3 torrents at a time? :) | 04:32 |
| TeenySHAD0W | any idea when seamonkey will be updated to 1.1.16 in the repositories? | 04:33 |
| LadyNikon | wtl: i would read the docs on Deluge to figure that out. | 04:33 |
| jrib | !timebasedreleases > TeenySHAD0W | 04:33 |
| ubottu | TeenySHAD0W, please see my private message | 04:33 |
| orange-wedge | just got a new seiko self-winding watch all... | 04:33 |
| jrib | !ot | orange-wedge | 04:33 |
| ubottu | orange-wedge: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:33 |
| Xcell | put ubuntu on that watch | 04:33 |
| Kana-nano | jrib: yes? | 04:33 |
| orange-wedge | ha ha ha | 04:34 |
| scales11 | well i was only using 7.10 because i needed the older version of gcc to compile a driver...can i get an older version of gcc with jaunty and use it? | 04:34 |
| jrib | scales11: because 7.10 is no longer supported. You need to use a supported version | 04:34 |
| fallore | losher: grub showed up :D booted to windows, so i don't know if actually booting to ubuntu works (though i assume so), but i'm pretty sure my problem is fixed :D | 04:34 |
| orange-wedge | jeez | 04:34 |
| Gofforth | Scales11: doubtful | 04:34 |
| jrib | scales11: what older version? | 04:34 |
| scales11 | umm | 04:34 |
| jrib | Kana-nano: are you going to pastebin what I asked? | 04:34 |
| losher | fallore: if it doesn't work booting Ubuntu, I know how to fix it :-) | 04:35 |
| scales11 | jrib: 4.1.2 | 04:35 |
| jrib | scales11: that's in the repositories | 04:35 |
| scales11 | or if someone could help me, i am trying to compile this driver http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/VendorBasedDriver | 04:36 |
| jrib | !info gcc-4.1 | scales11 | 04:36 |
| ubottu | scales11: gcc-4.1 (source: gcc-4.1): The GNU C compiler. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.1.2-24ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 568 kB, installed size 1180 kB | 04:36 |
| IamSOG | I have seen it's able to Encrypt the home directory... but I wonder what happen if you need back ups or if the OS went down... how to recover or back up the data ? :o | 04:36 |
| scales11 | jrib: so if i just install it, how do i tell ubuntu to use it when i want to compile something? | 04:36 |
| scales11 | rather than the current gcc 4.4 | 04:36 |
| jrib | scales11: obviously depends on how you are compiling something. Most configre scripts will respect the CC=gcc-4.1.2 environment variable | 04:37 |
| raghu125coorg | scales11, what is your kernel version? | 04:38 |
| RukusX | What is the latest kernel for ubuntu? and why is mine set as 2.6.27-10-generic ? | 04:38 |
| jrib | RukusX: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 04:38 |
| scales11 | well now i am installing 9.04 | 04:38 |
| scales11 | raghu125coorg: so i will be using the latest | 04:38 |
| jtaji | scales11: or you could use the alternatives system... sudo update-alternatives --config cc | 04:39 |
| RukusX | 9.04 | 04:39 |
| scales11 | jtaji: ? | 04:39 |
| Xcell | scales11- i have 7.10 on another drive.. it works great.. but...youll love 9.04...trust me. | 04:39 |
| jtaji | scales11: it's an answer to your last question | 04:39 |
| jrib | !who | RukusX | 04:39 |
| ubottu | RukusX: 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 :) | 04:39 |
| jrib | RukusX: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:39 |
| scales11 | Xcell: i do like 9.04 i run it on my laptop. i am just trying to get this driver compiled and i couldnt do it by default with 9.04 | 04:40 |
| Xcell | oh | 04:40 |
| Xcell | ok | 04:40 |
| willwade | Hi, does anyone know how to sort out missing bootmgr on a USB stick prepared with unetbootin? | 04:40 |
| jigp | hello guys moin. how to enable ssh?it says network error connection refused | 04:40 |
| jtaji | scales11: it will let you select the gcc version called by gcc when you have multiple versions installed | 04:40 |
| jrib | !ssh | jigp | 04:40 |
| ubottu | jigp: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 04:40 |
| RukusX | ok jrib thank you | 04:40 |
| raghu125coorg | scales11, why cannot you use kernel 2.6.18 by recompiling it. the driver is included in it. | 04:41 |
| Gofforth | jigp: sudo sshd should do it | 04:41 |
| RukusX | jrib, didnt do a thing | 04:41 |
| jrib | jigp: read what ubottu said, don't do "sudo sshd"... | 04:41 |
| scales11 | raghu125coorg: the zd1211rw driver will not operate in master mode. unlike zd1211b, which i need to create this access point | 04:42 |

| willwade | If I stick 4gigs of ram in a 32bit mythbox, can I push memory from the extra gig in to the onboard graphics or just from the 3gigs the OS uses? | 04:50 |
| jrib | SunnyDP: it's probably because a lot of that stuff wasn't implemented right away with early versions of gvfs. If it happens with another fresh new user, then I'd pretty sure that's the reason | 04:50 |
| raghu125coorg | SunnyDP, problem is definitely due to gvfs | 04:50 |
| madbuntu | ZykoticK9: i just found that the compiz work arounds for my videocard dont work in 64 | 04:51 |

| BalthCat | Hi. I'm a new user planning to dual boot XP and Ubuntu (as it seems best recommended for beginners) and I'm looking to figure out a good starting partition size before I install Windows and all that jazz. The site recommended at least 10gb. I really only need enough for the basics and "experimentation" room as my data will mostly be in yet another partition. | 04:54 |
| RukusX | jrib that kernel is not even an option in my grub loader and i am still uname -r 2.6.27-10-generic | 04:54 |
| madbuntu | Balth what do you do with windows | 04:54 |
| BalthCat | And this particular laptop is only 80gb. Should I stick with 10gb or do you think I could claw a few gb off? | 04:54 |
| BalthCat | madbuntu: It's all personal use. | 04:54 |
| madbuntu | just make the part as big as you need is what im trying to say | 04:55 |
| BalthCat | Like, just "stuff" | 04:55 |
| madbuntu | games? | 04:55 |
| BalthCat | Oh, I'm talking about the ubuntu partition. | 04:55 |
| BalthCat | Sorry. | 04:55 |
| jrib | RukusX: apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.28-12-generic | 04:55 |
| madbuntu | ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 04:55 |
| madbuntu | yeah 10 gigs is plenty | 04:55 |
| madbuntu | go with even less if you want | 04:56 |
| BalthCat | madbuntu: Would I kick myself in the future if I enjoy (but don't go crazy over) Ubuntu, if I did say, 6gb instead? | 04:56 |
| madbuntu | nope | 04:56 |
| BalthCat | Ok, that's what I needed to know. Thanks :) | 04:56 |
| madbuntu | all the files are tiny | 04:56 |
| jrib | RukusX: also, why are you using -proposed at all? | 04:56 |
| Dean_Camera | Does anyone know why there isn't a jaunty PPA for the latest kernels? | 04:56 |

| FLJohn | Jasa: I am new to Ubuntu/ How did you know that? | 05:16 |
| blacknred0 | ... | 05:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | FLJohn, Jasa knew because of the fglrx in the error - that's an ATI driver | 05:18 |

| RedSocrates | FLJohn: Haven't really been following the conversation, but if you're having issues with freezing using an ATI card, you might look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/348332 | 05:20 |
| starkraving | Hi all, looking for help on X, have 9.04 on a dell inspiron notebook with external monitor... i want to add more options to the resolutions of the external monitor | 05:20 |
| Magilum | I just upgraded a System76 Darter Ultra to 9.04; it has an Intel graphics card and X is crashing as soon as it starts. alt-sysrq-k won't kill X; the only thing I can do is alt-sysrq-{reisub} to restart the system. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or what's going on? There's a lot of stuff about Intel performance, but nothing about crashes. | 05:20 |
| h22o | so does anyone know a way to use an external monitor with a laptop with the lid closed? | 05:20 |
| RedSocrates | FLJohn: I had a similar problem and upgraded the kernel as suggested, and it fixed my issues. If you're new to Ubuntu, upgrading the kernel might be a bit difficult, but there are instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds | 05:20 |
| mamont | h22o: just keep it from going all suspendy when you close the lid, I suspect | 05:21 |
| RedSocrates | Anyway, read through all that, and enjoy -- that is, if I'm right that you were having freezing issues with an ATI card :) | 05:21 |
| h22o | it doesnt suspend; it just turns blank | 05:21 |
| ed_debian | h22o, It is blanking the screen which is a power-management feature | 05:21 |
| h22o | well how do i disable it? | 05:22 |
| Gnea | h22o: that is weird... perhaps you need to edit acpi configs in /etc | 05:22 |
| h22o | i mean | 05:22 |
| mamont | ordinarily you'd disable whatever you enabled, but since this was enabled for you :p you have to find out | 05:22 |
| FLJohn | RedSocrates: I had a problme with 9.04 64 when I downloaded it. Let me read this. Here is a screen shot from a few days ago. I see that fglrx is in there too. | 05:22 |
| ed_debian | h22o, Well maybe it isn't a feature to you. System -> preferences -> power management | 05:22 |
| h22o | blank only the laptop screen, not the external monitor | 05:22 |
| ed_debian | Its finicky though | 05:22 |

| RedSocrates | FLJohn: Right, the kernel fix is what worked for me and my ATI problems, using the radeon driver. But if you're using 8.04, it's very possible that you have a different bug than the one described there. A mainline kernel upgrade shouldn't really *hurt*, though, if you want to try it... And if the kernel has issues, you can always boot the old kernel from GRUB. | 05:35 |
| h22o | Gnea: i think i found it: screen blanking is HARDCODED into /etc/acpi/lid.sh | 05:35 |

| FLJohn | RedSocrates: It is just that this is wierd. I have no Idea what I am doing, but I really want to learn. It has done this on two of the same barebones so it has to be that ATI driver. | 05:37 |

| RedSocrates | in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in your "Device" section | 05:38 |
| deathtech | Also, Ubuntu doesnt appear to have figured out the video hardware very well, and its stu ck in 800x600, whereas the native would be 1024x768 | 05:38 |

| mib_3qj9ogdg | hey can anyone help me the sound on my laptop doesnt work i have an HP tx2510us | 05:57 |
| harpreet_ | jimlovell777: iso not good | 05:57 |
| mgmuscari | right now i'm using ssh w/ X tunneling to run exaile, but when i close exaile on here or shut down my laptop, the music on the media server will stop | 05:57 |
| durt | !sound > mib_3qj9ogdg | 05:58 |
| ubottu | mib_3qj9ogdg, please see my private message | 05:58 |
| jimlovell777 | harpreet_: I've verified the image and burned disc checksums, all three match. | 05:58 |
| zhoujingrui | same with my sound | 05:58 |
| harpreet_ | jimlovell777: use dvd | 05:58 |
| shruthi | harpeet: Thank you very much, it worked | 05:58 |
| jimlovell777 | harpreet_: What would the DVD do/have that the CD doesn't? | 05:58 |
| harpreet_ | shruthi: no problems ,anytime | 05:59 |
| harpreet_ | jimlovell777: speed | 05:59 |
| deathtech | durt, Thanks for the help though, its a rough one for this machine i beleive :p | 05:59 |
| mgmuscari | jimlovell777: what packages are failing to install? | 05:59 |
| deathtech | durt, not a ton of exp with xrandr, but no better time to learn, eh ? | 05:59 |
| barbarella2 | jamiejackson:grub goes to the mbr on sda, if that is the first boot device set in your bios or have an other boot loader like XP | 05:59 |
| shruthi | harpreet: I have to use this command always everytime I boot to get internet connection | 06:00 |
| munch13 | is there such thing as an open-source search engine? | 06:00 |
| shruthi | harpreet : rmmod b43 b44 ssb wl | 06:00 |
| shruthi | modprobe wl | 06:00 |
| shruthi | modprobe b44 | 06:00 |
| harpreet_ | shruthi: what do you have laptop or desktop? | 06:00 |
| shruthi | harpreet: Laptop | 06:00 |
| jimlovell777 | mgmuscari: It varies, sometimes it's just a few seconds after the base system starts installing and several times everything works until it comes time to install the kernel image. The linux-kernel-image-generic is the only one that sticks out from my repeated attempts. | 06:00 |
| jamiejackson | barbarella2, my ide is showing last, but that's what i want to be booting from. so i need to reorder the drives in my bios? | 06:00 |
| harpreet_ | shruthi: i am assuming it asks you for wireless keyring to unlock, correct? | 06:01 |
| barbarella2 | jamiejackson:yes | 06:01 |
| mgmuscari | jimlovell777: how much ram is in this system? i had some problems installing on a system with only 1GB | 06:01 |
| jimmy_ | hey guys, i'm trying to install all the xfce plugins, but apt-get xfce4*plugins is not working... any ideas? | 06:01 |
| jamiejackson | munch13: lucene is a java one, there are prob others | 06:01 |
| shruthi | harpreet: if I dont run those commands even my wireless is not enabled at all | 06:01 |
| jimlovell777 | mgmuscari: Less than 1GB, would enabling the swap partition before installation help? | 06:02 |
| deathtech | jimmy_, Try sudo apt-get install xfce4-plugins without an asterisk | 06:02 |
| shruthi | harpreet: Yes also asks for key ring after that | 06:02 |
| harpreet_ | shruthi: what card do you have, please paste | 06:02 |
| jimmy_ | ahh, good call | 06:02 |
| mgmuscari | jimlovell777: probably not, but IIRC there is a low-memory install mode | 06:02 |
| shruthi | harpreet: broadcom 4328 | 06:02 |
| mgmuscari | jimlovell777: i don't know for certain, but i think the installer may take a pessimistic approach and load a whole lot of driver modules to try to get all the hardware working | 06:03 |
| harpreet_ | shruthi: i'll have to rush to work in 10 mins, i'll surely help you with it if it doesnt get solvedb | 06:03 |
| jimmy_ | deathtech, there is no xfce4-plugins metapackage | 06:03 |
| shruthi | no problem | 06:03 |
| jimlovell777 | mgmuscari: IIRC? I using the alternate install cd, does it have the low RAM option? | 06:03 |
| shruthi | see you around | 06:03 |
| deathtech | jimmy_, HAve you tried searching synaptic ? | 06:03 |
| shruthi | have a good day | 06:03 |
| mgmuscari | (if i recall correctly) | 06:03 |
| jimmy_ | yeah, here let me show you some examples | 06:03 |
| harpreet_ | shruthi: we can try something in the mean time | 06:03 |
| mgmuscari | jimlovell777: i'm not certain about that. look for advanced options when you load the disc | 06:04 |
| shruthi | harpreet: no problem | 06:04 |
| harpreet_ | jimlovell777: burn it on DVD it will work for sure | 06:04 |
| jimlovell777 | mgmuscari: Ahh, well thanks for mentioning it, that has to be what the problem is, the drive and all other hardware plus the disc is in working order. Seems like my issue is low RAM releated. | 06:04 |
| deathtech | jimmy_, if not , in gnome hit System-> Administration -> Synaptic PAckage Manager | 06:04 |
| mgmuscari | jimlovell777: it's highly possible. a lot of people have problems with low ram while installing ubuntu | 06:05 |
| shruthi | harpreet: Thanks and Bye | 06:05 |
| harpreet_ | shruthi: you might need, madwifi or ndiswapper | 06:05 |
| jimmy_ | deathtech, here are some examples: xfce4-screenshooter-plugin | 06:05 |
| jimmy_ | xfce4-datetime-plugin xfce4-sensors-plugin xfce4-session... can't imagine why xfce4*plugin wouldn't install all of those for me | 06:05 |
| deathtech | jimmy_, Just search for " xfce4 plugin " in Synaptic | 06:06 |
| deathtech | jimmy_, Minus the quotes | 06:06 |
| jimmy_ | i know i can do that... i'm just puzzled why apt-get isn't handling my wildcards :) | 06:06 |
| jimmy_ | i'll do that now though | 06:06 |
| panzor | anyone know what channel can help me with a problem with my root shell prompt. Things go wrong when I hit "up" to go to a previous command. Only happens as root. | 06:07 |
| starkraving | Can anyone tell me how to add a resolution option to an external monitor? My xorg.conf is basically empty, I guess it's Ubuntu trying to "do the right thing"... | 06:07 |
| dian | BNJV | 06:07 |
| starkraving | In the "Display" preferences dialog I have resolution options up to 1152 wide, I want it to go up to 1280 | 06:07 |

| nicks007 | Hi , is there any way to install new fonts ? | 06:09 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ sudo dmidecode -t 2; ... Base Board Information ...' What is a 'base board'? | 06:09 |
| starkraving | Everything is working fine, I have all the visual effects enabled, just for some reason one day I started up and it only had resolutions up to 1152 | 06:09 |
| mgmuscari | hmmm | 06:09 |
| mobi-sheep | What filesystem would be most preferable on netbook? | 06:09 |
| panzor | nicks007, what kind of founts | 06:09 |
| mgmuscari | if i have some program in a tar.gz | 06:09 |
| panzor | fonts* | 06:09 |
| mgmuscari | can i use dpkg to install it using the package manager? | 06:09 |
| starkraving | I'm not using any proprietary drivers at all right now | 06:09 |
| nicks007 | text fonts.. | 06:09 |
| panzor | nicks007, .ttf maybe? | 06:09 |
| mobi-sheep | !font | nicks007 | 06:09 |

| starkraving | Apparently my radeon's drivers aren't supported in 9.04 | 06:09 |
| jamiejackson | barbarella2: i'm not finding the trick for making my ide drive (as opposed to the satas) sda. i'll reboot again and enter the bios... | 06:10 |
| nicks007 | how can i do that ? please tell me in detail. | 06:10 |
| panzor | starkraving, ah, sucks. I've been running 8.04 for a while and love it. It's supported for longer than 9.04 anyway :P | 06:10 |
| nicks007 | how can i add new fonts into existing font library ? | 06:11 |
| panzor | jamiejackson, shouldn't IDE drives come up as hda instead? | 06:11 |
| jamiejackson | i think that changed in jaunty, panzor | 06:11 |
| ReggieLove | Does anyone know how i can get rythmbox music player to sort the library by 'album artist' not just 'artist' | 06:12 |
| pintook | I need a programme to format pendrives & others on Ubuntu 9.0.4 | 06:12 |
| jamiejackson | barbarella2: i'm in the bios, where do i change the order so my ide is sda? | 06:12 |
| panzor | jamiejackson, that's how linux distros do it that I've been a part of. hda is ide, sda is sata | 06:12 |
| === kanagaraj is now known as RKR | ||
| panzor | nicks007, put the .ttf files in /usr/share/truetype/ I think | 06:13 |
| panzor | then restart the program you're using | 06:13 |
| RKR | Hi, Every one I need A help | 06:13 |
| panzor | and it should appear...maybe | 06:13 |
| eric__ | pintook, have you tried gparted? | 06:13 |
| jamiejackson | sda for even ide is what i've read happened in jaunty, panzor, and that's what i'm seeing too | 06:13 |
| pintook | no | 06:13 |
| panzor | jamiejackson, I don't see the point | 06:13 |
| nicks007 | ok let me try | 06:13 |
| oh_noes | Is /tmp mounted as swap? | 06:13 |
| pintook | no eric | 06:13 |
| panzor | oh_noes, no | 06:13 |
| pintook | no eric | 06:13 |
| eric__ | Go install it, I think it should work | 06:13 |
| kerebrus | Hey guys, I installed a deb file from nvidia.com for my gpu and now my vid card is not working properly is there away to revert back to the original drivers? | 06:13 |
| Myrtti | jamiejackson: ubuntuu moved from sda/hda separation ages ago | 06:14 |
| barbarella2 | jamiejackson:look for boot priority in the bios and select the ide | 06:14 |
| oh_noes | panzor: it it just a physical directory on the / file system? | 06:14 |
| jamiejackson | panzor: the point of hd* becoming sd* for IDEs? i dunno, i didn't write it ;-) | 06:14 |
| pronoy | kerebus: just install the recommended drivers | 06:14 |
| RKR | Hi Anybody tell my how to make live CD of ubuntu with our own Softwares that we need? | 06:14 |
| panzor | oh_noes, yeah, it gets erased every time you boot - like the recycle bin on a windows machine, only it gets cleaned up on reboot :P | 06:14 |
| pronoy | kerebrus: just install the recommended drivers | 06:14 |
| kerebrus | pronoy: that doesn't fix the problem | 06:15 |
| pronoy | kerebrus: what gpu are you using | 06:15 |
| eric__ | RKR, do you mean you want a Live CD with non-included software installed? | 06:15 |
| kerebrus | nvidia gforce fx5200 | 06:15 |
| barbarella2 | panzor:no, hda is something from the old kernels, all are sd now | 06:15 |
| losher | RKR: I found something on the first hit on google for 'make live CD of ubuntu' | 06:16 |
| panzor | kerebrus, did you try reinstalling the nvidia driver you had previously? | 06:16 |
| nicks007 | panzor, i dont have the directory trutype in /usr/share | 06:16 |
| mobi-sheep | RKR: I generally keep a list of to-be-install and to-be-purged packages in a textpad. You can use that as script. | 06:16 |
| panzor | barbarella2, oh really? Hmm I guess that would explain why slackware calls these hda ;P | 06:16 |
| kerebrus | panzor: the driver before was from the default install of ubuntu and I dont know where that driver is located or how to remove the one that is currently installed | 06:16 |
| jamiejackson | barbarella2: my boot priority goes 1st floppy, dvd, then the IDE i want, then "nvidia boot agent" then "2-nvidia boot agent" | 06:17 |
| mobi-sheep | What filesystem would be most preferable on netbook? | 06:17 |
| panzor | nicks007: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ sorry | 06:17 |
| barbarella2 | jamiejackson:that should be ok | 06:17 |
| jamiejackson | barbarella2: but i didn't change it. that's what it's *been* set on, and the ide comes up dead last (sde) | 06:18 |
| eric__ | Does anyone know where I could go to learn how Ubuntu (or Linux in general) works, as an OS? (ie. the different components, such as the kernel, daemons, servers, hardware interfaces, etc.) | 06:18 |
| panzor | kerebrus: get it from nvidia. The installation with get rid of most of the previous things, but I had errors until I did some radical cleaning out. Look at all of the things you have installed with "nvidia" in front of them and uninstall. EVen the kernel one. Then run the sh script they give you after turning off gdm | 06:18 |
| panzor | eric__: slackware lol | 06:19 |
| barbarella2 | jamiejackson:how many drives you got? | 06:19 |
| losher | jamiejackson: disk naming happens during boot up when the disks are probed. That's a separate issue to which disk the bios tries to boot from. To rename the disks, you'd have to change the cabling, as far as I know... | 06:19 |
| RKR | eric__: losher: Friends First of all i explain my needs , I have installed ubuntu9.04 in my system and i have a live CD From ubuntu. my need is that i want to create a ubuntu installation disk with live CD support with my own languages and with mp3 codecs and other some softwares and i have to distribute it to my friends. pls guide me! | 06:19 |
| jamiejackson | barbarella2: and i don't know if it's relevant, but the IDE also shows up as the first primary IDE master, with the CDROM in second place, and the satas in 3,4,5, and 6th place | 06:19 |
| bc | f-spot must be seriously fubar under the hood if I can consistently make it crash just by clicking on a menu item. | 06:19 |
| pintook | bye | 06:20 |
| losher | RKR: See make your own live CD on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD | 06:20 |
| jamiejackson | losher: can't do much about cabling changes, since my desired boot is ide, and my others are sata | 06:20 |
| kerebrus | panzor: so go into synaptic and remove all nvidia entries? | 06:20 |
| jamiejackson | barbarella2: 1 ide (my desired boot), and 4 satas that i intend to raid5 | 06:21 |
| barbarella2 | jamiejackson:so you want to have the mbr on the ide drive | 06:21 |
| panzor | kerebrus: yeah, lemme see if I can remember the ones I did. It looked pretty scary, I remember. One of those "cross yoru fingers and hope that random forum poster knew what he was talking about ><" moments | 06:21 |
| eric__ | panzor, do you mean install Slackware? | 06:21 |
| losher | jamiejackson: then you're stuck with whatever naming scheme the kernel comes up with. You should still be able to boot from the ide disk though | 06:21 |
| jamiejackson | yes, barbarella2 | 06:21 |
| kerebrus | panzor: lol | 06:21 |
| ubntunovice | ##beginners-help @ irc.freenode.net | 06:21 |
| panzor | eric__: being able to run slackware and customize it thoroughly will get you all the knowledge you need to succeed as a linux user, in my opinion | 06:21 |

| panzor | kerebrus: at a term type "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" | 06:23 |
| barbarella2 | jamiejackson:but you can boot your system? | 06:23 |
| losher | eric__: there's also linux from scratch. The book was good as I recall... | 06:23 |

| jamiejackson | barbarella2: i'm only booting from livecd at this point, as it's the install that i've been asking the questions about. does that answer your question? | 06:23 |
| losher | panzor: I think slackware will keep him busy for a while :-) | 06:24 |
| panzor | kerebrus: probably gonna see three things: "nvidia-glx-new" "nvidia-kernel-common" "nvidia-settings" | 06:24 |
| henryo | no, i don't have one, i just want some software to make sure my computer is clean | 06:24 |

| losher | panzor: how come the people who I see doing the least amount of support are always the quickest to criticize? | 06:33 |
| panzor | losher: I know right, I've helped at least 4-5 people since I walked in and haven't gotten help with my stupid root bashrc question. Though, I haven't renewed the question admittedly | 06:34 |
| losher | panzor: I'll have a go. What's your question? | 06:35 |
| bastidrazor | panzor; use sudo instead of being root | 06:35 |
| panzor | bastidrazor: hell no | 06:35 |
| coz_ | panzor, what are you trying to do that you need root? | 06:35 |
| eric__ | losher, panzor: Thanks for the Linux from Scratch link, guys, I just found my project for the Summer! =) | 06:35 |
| Myrtti | panzor: you've enabled the root account? | 06:36 |
| panzor | losher: when I'm in root "sudo su -" when I press up, text sticks to the first few characters, then continues going up with those previous character stuck...it's hard to describe | 06:36 |
| Myrtti | panzor: have you tried to get to root prompt by sudo -i? | 06:36 |
| losher | eric__: I cheated. I read the book but didn't do the actual work, You learn tons, though, lots of applicable to Ubuntu | 06:36 |
| panzor | Myrtti: hmm, didn't know that, thanks | 06:36 |
| Myrtti | panzor: also, what's your shell, have you tried others, and what about your terminal? | 06:37 |
| panzor | Myrtti: thought the problem still exists | 06:37 |
| kerebrus | panzor: installing the latest drivers for my card from nvidia didnt go well. | 06:37 |
| coz_ | kerebrus, how did you do it? | 06:37 |
| panzor | kerebrus: humbug, what were the errors if any | 06:37 |
| losher | panzor: I know what you mean, presumably a bug in the readline library. No idea of the cure, sorry... | 06:37 |
| kerebrus | panzor "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " | 06:37 |
| panzor | nah, there's no way. I'm pretty sure I just messed up when I was making my root shell be red text | 06:38 |
| panzor | kerebrus: when you installed the nvidia driver, were you in the same kernel as you booted up the first time? | 06:38 |
| macvr | hi all....... does anyone know how to get the acer orbicam to work? | 06:38 |
| coz_ | kerebrus, but did you download the driver from nvidia's site or use sytem/administrations/hardware drivers?? | 06:39 |
| coz_ | macvr, did you install an applications like camorama to view the video? | 06:39 |
| Myrtti | panzor: it might be that you've got some unicode or other mixup in your config file for the shell then... | 06:39 |
| panzor | Myrtti: mind if I post a pastebin to my gross root's .bashrc? | 06:40 |
| losher | joetheodd: none of the tv apps are great. I've used tvtime in the past... | 06:40 |
| topgun21 | Myrtti: shouldn't panzor have utf 9 as jhis default language? | 06:40 |
| macvr | coz_: no...it didnt work in hardy and i stopped looking into it... is camorama in the repos? | 06:40 |
| topgun21 | Myrtti: shouldn't panzor have utf 8 as his default ansi language? | 06:40 |
| joetheodd | losher, i decided to jfgi and found tvtime. installing atm | 06:40 |
| coz_ | macvr, yes it is as well as other apps like it I think even pidgin works also | 06:41 |
| coz_ | macvr, camorama will be a quick test for the cam though | 06:41 |
| ReggieLove | does anyone know if i can get Rythmbox media player to sort by 'album artist' instead of 'artist' ? | 06:41 |
| panzor | http://pastebin.com/m537c8c54 | 06:42 |
| macvr | coz_: running install.... | 06:42 |
| Myrtti | topgun21: yes, but depending on his language settings there might be a dead key or something there messing it | 06:42 |
| hskill | is the virtual terminal you see when you press ctrl+alt+F1, considered a "terminal emulator"? | 06:42 |
| panzor | ReggieLove: I dont' know the answer, but I'm curious to know why you want to do this and what hte difference is | 06:42 |
| coz_ | macvr, plug in the cam right before you start camorama | 06:42 |
| ReggieLove | panzor, some albums have multiple artists and it makes the library confusing | 06:42 |
| macvr | coz_: its a built in webcam... it says did not detect | 06:43 |
| coz_ | macvr, ok which system manufacturer | 06:43 |
| losher | joetheodd: see also http://www.uhlala.it/technology/linux-ati-fglrx-and-tvtime/ | 06:43 |
| macvr | coz_: logitech | 06:43 |
| topgun21 | macvr: Have you installed the usb video driver for linux? | 06:44 |
| coz_ | macvr, hold on | 06:44 |
| panzor | ReggieLove: ah, I just strip all of the artists from techno albums and rename the whole album's artists the most notorious one otherwise :/. Defeinitely a workaround. I'd say for you to let me know if you figure it out but....my hopes are low for us meeting again >_> | 06:44 |
| macvr | topgun21: its a built-in one... wait i'll check | 06:44 |
| ReggieLove | panzor: yeah that would work i guess but there are a lot of them haha, yeah good point | 06:45 |
| panzor | ReggieLove: I rename ID3 tags a bunch at a time with Ex Falso. I think you can select a whole album at a time and rename them that way too, in rhythmbox | 06:46 |
| onexused | Where are the packages and package lists downloaded with apt-get stored? | 06:46 |
| Piratero | hello | 06:46 |
| macvr | topgun21: what is the exact package name? | 06:46 |
| nomad77 | panzor: try adding this in dot bashrc http://www.pastebin.ca/1439081 for red root prompt | 06:46 |
| losher | hskill: yes, they're all terminal emulators these days, as almost no-one has an actual, real terminal any more | 06:46 |
| Piratero | i have the following options in my /etc/xorg.conf file: Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,grp:alt_shift_toggle" | 06:46 |
| Piratero | this by pressing alt+shift+a, i can switch between 2 different keyboard layouts | 06:47 |
| panzor | nomad77: oh it's red, it just has errors when I search through history with "up" | 06:47 |
| Piratero | is there another way i can switch layouts through the commandline? | 06:47 |
| Myrtti | panzor: hrmhm, I must say it's most curious. I personally use zsh and not had any problems with the colours... | 06:47 |
| topgun21 | macvr: System >> administration >> Synaptic Package manager and search for usbvideo | 06:47 |

| ActionParsnip | nibsa1242: not sure but i'm sure find has that functionality, read the man page is all i can suggest | 07:17 |
| onexused | bc: Both machines have gnome. The host only has gnome so I can't test anything from KDE, etc. | 07:17 |

| cached | panzor: will i still have access to gui? | 07:21 |
| panzor | cached: yeah, I've done this before. Looks scary, doesn't affect anything. Although, I'll check for you. I'd hate to cripple you because of my bad memory. And yes, it is quite bad. Sec. | 07:21 |
| endtask89 | ActionParsnip, ubuntu also using partition like C:\ or d:\ ? | 07:21 |
| Crowman | ActionParsnip: in fdisk there's no my phone | 07:21 |
| losher | nibsa1242: try 'ls -lart' that will give you a listing with most recent first so you can cross check | 07:21 |

| cached | panzor: so, being tired, i saw 177-dev as the latest and decided "ah, that's probably what i have. i'll just pick that" | 07:27 |
| peepsalot | i can't figure out how to build this thing either | 07:27 |
| mobi-sheep | ruediix: You need to add the key. Did you install something recently? | 07:27 |
| panzor | cached: why do you need the -dev? | 07:27 |
| nibsa1242 | ActionParsnip: I found them... the user forgot that she put them on a USB thumb drive instead of copying to the hard drive | 07:27 |
| losher | nibsa1242: the -30 should be correct. Famous last words... | 07:27 |
| cached | panzor: building o3d | 07:27 |
| ruediix | mobi-sheep no | 07:27 |

| panzor | cached: ah, not familiar. Give me a second to see... | 07:27 |
| losher | nibsa1242: Users. Can't kill 'em... | 07:28 |

| endtask89 | mobi-sheep, you are very clever in ubuntu... when did u start using ubuntu? | 07:28 |
| h4mx0r | is there an mplayer skin that makes it only one window? | 07:28 |
| panzor | cached: I'd get these two packages: nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx-new-dev | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | h4mx0r: smplayer is getting bigged up at the moment, I use it without skin at al so couldnt comment | 07:29 |
| kc8pxy | i need help understanding why i can't tell apt to simply reinstall a package i installed, and then goofed, so i want the fresh files to overwrite my goof. and it won't.(or i don't know how to tell it to). | 07:29 |
| panzor | cached: just a guess, but it sounds like "-new" means that it'll update it as it goes, thus being the "best" for the people that want to stay current. That's what I have as default - at least I didn't put it there myself. | 07:29 |
| ruediix | ActionParsnip: It is reporting it in the standard Ubuntu packages. | 07:29 |
| nibsa1242 | losher: yeah, but its ok... pictures represent about 3 hours of work... so time was saved, and now I know how to use find better | 07:29 |

| bgupta | Good evening.. I was fiddling around in OS X today and discovered http://www.manpagez.com/man/8/dynamic_pager/osx-10.4.php I'm wondering if Ubuntu ships with something like this, as it seems pretty useful? | 07:30 |
| losher | nibsa1242: cool | 07:30 |
| nibsa1242 | losher ActionParsnip thanks for all your help! | 07:30 |
| mobi-sheep | endtask89: I began using Gentoo at first. I later moved to Ubuntu. | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ruediix: doesnt mean anything. If you don't have the ke, you don't have the key | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nibsa1242: np bro | 07:30 |
| h4mx0r | ActionParsnip: I want to use regular plain mplayer but with a one piece skin | 07:30 |
| losher | kc8pxy: apt-get install --reinstall <package> or some such | 07:30 |
| cached | panzor: "nvidia-glx-new is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has ben obsoleted, or is only available from another source" | 07:30 |
| cached | panzor: then it lists nvidia-glx-177 as its replacement | 07:30 |
| ruediix | tell ActionParsnip I had the key before and it reports that I have the key for the Ubuntu repositories in the GUI. | 07:30 |
| h4mx0r | ActionParsnip: I still don't get why vlc is always bugged in some way on most linux distros | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ruediix: if you run: sudo apt-get update in terminaland give the error about keys I can give you the command to resolve it | 07:31 |
| losher | h4mx0r: crappy programmers... | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | h4mx0r: i dont use it | 07:31 |
| panzor | cached: ah, that could be. I'm in 8.04 - I guess try reverting everything to the one that went through that caused the other one's error? restart X and cross your fingers | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | h4mx0r: log bugs and things get fixed | 07:31 |
| mobi-sheep | h4mx0r: You're experiencing an embedded window bug? Two interfaces -- One for GUI --- One for Control Interface. | 07:31 |

| ruediix | ActionParsnip OK, I've got something really screwed up. It's reporting that it is using ftp.debian.org as it's sources. I have no clue why. | 07:31 |
| Ryan52 | can somebody on jaunty or karmic please pastebin their /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-www-browser for me? | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | h4mx0r: try cvlc | 07:32 |
| mobi-sheep | zenxr: Better Gentoo than Windows. :) | 07:32 |
| zenxr | mobi-sheep: I opted for slackware instead of gentoo, older packages but better stability | 07:32 |
| zenxr | mobi-sheep: just because gentoo isn't very user friendly. | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ruediix: you shouldnt have any debian sources, ubuntu + debian debs = pain | 07:32 |
| losher | zenxr: I find 8.04.2 LTS rock solid & stable, personally... | 07:32 |
| h4mx0r | ActionParsnip mobi-sheep: I am tired of all these rediculous media apps that just fail. I'm using mplayer and I need the skin to stop being retarded :( sorry I'm just fed up I opened some wannabe mplayer clone and it couldn't play a basic .flv file | 07:32 |
| zenxr | losher: I was referring to gentoo | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | h4mx0r: you can use the WMP skin for comedy value | 07:33 |
| losher | zenxr: Ah, my bad... | 07:33 |
| panzor | losher: dude, BFF's, I'm telling you | 07:33 |
| ruediix | ActionParsnip: I never installed those repositories I have no clue how they got there. I am going to have to do a complete reinstall. | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | h4mx0r: any player can play any media file provided it has codecs | 07:33 |
| Ryan52 | anybody? | 07:33 |
| zenxr | losher: it's cool lol, i'm running 8.10 atm, but it's a custom distrobution | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | h4mx0r: the player is irrelevant | 07:33 |
| h4mx0r | ActionParsnip: so all I have to do is strip down the wmp skin? where is it can you link | 07:33 |
| panzor | ruediix: hold on, you want to get rid of some .debs? I wasn't paying attention | 07:33 |
| mobi-sheep | h4mx0r: I like gnome-mplayer over mplayer myself as it use a simple interface. You might want to try that. VLC is great but there are an embedded window bug occurring. There are also are a patch for it if you're not aware. It's not updated in Ubuntu repos. | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Ryan52: sec | 07:34 |
| losher | panzor: :-) | 07:34 |
| h4mx0r | mobi-sheep: that's the one I was just talking about | 07:34 |
| Ryan52 | ActionParsnip: thanks much :) | 07:34 |
| ruediix | tell Panzor no, the issue is unknown Somehow my repository list got corrupted. | 07:34 |
| h4mx0r | mobi-sheep: I might try vlc again I haven't used it since 8.10 when it couldn't open a directory without dieing | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ryan52: http://pastebin.com/f3e58b43f | 07:34 |
| mobi-sheep | h4mx0r: gnome-mplayer --> not same as mplayer. It uses a different GUI./ | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ryan52: if you backup the files you edit, befre playing then you will never need to ask again | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Ryan52: as you can roll back | 07:35 |
| panzor | ruediix: ack, sorry | 07:35 |

| ziroday | Tasbuntu: no, 32bit can only address ~3.2GB of RAM | 08:03 |
| raylu | oops | 08:03 |
| cached | Tasbuntu: theoretically or practically? theoretically, it means that each register of your computer can contain 64 bits of data, allowing for fast computations with big numbers and ability to use big numbers to access memory. practically, it means that if you run 64 bit you might see slight improvement in some things, but problems in others due to incompatabilities | 08:03 |
| raylu | dsl1009: hardly. 64-bit processors aren't twice as fast | 08:04 |

| mespejel | hello i have some boring newbie questions about ubuntu and linux.. i am interest in ubuntu so. i wonder if someone is in good mood to help me. maybe this is not the correct room? | 08:46 |
| mib_9n53ng | hey all, have a question. going to be setting up a dual boot sys, ubu and xp. but main question is my data, which will be on a main, huge, partion, around 200gb. thing is, what file system would be best, fat32 or ntfs??? | 08:46 |
| Slart | mespejel: sure.. just ask your questions | 08:47 |
| unop_ | mib_9n53ng, ntfs | 08:47 |
| Slart | mib_9n53ng: I would go with ntfs | 08:47 |
| Nom- | FAT32 is evil, definately NTFS :) | 08:47 |
| darlek | ditto | 08:48 |
| Slart | ntfs isn't evil?? =) | 08:48 |
| Nom- | Not that NTFS isn't even either, but it's lesser of two evils. | 08:48 |
| Nom- | *evil | 08:48 |
| mib_9n53ng | unop_: Slart why would it be better? have the rread write issues been resolved properly while on the ubu side, aand accessing, wrtiing data, to ntfs partion | 08:48 |
| mespejel | Slart: thanks. So what is the difference between Gnome, GTK2, Compiz, Emerald and E17? :) | 08:48 |
| unop_ | one could argue that NTFS is evil-er than FAT32 .. but that's a topic for another day | 08:48 |
| mespejel | Slart: I am just extremely confused. | 08:48 |
| ubuntu__ | hey | 08:48 |
| mobi-sheep | unop_: Many gracious. | 08:48 |
| Samae | Is Ubuntu recomends only for intel boards? | 08:48 |
| ubuntu__ | have u guys used the rc1 windows 7 already? | 08:49 |
| darlek | if it has a pulse, Ubuntu will run on it | 08:49 |
| unop_ | mib_9n53ng, well it supports things like compression, encryption, permissions, etc .. and the RW issue has been sorted, pretty much yea | 08:49 |
| Slart | mespejel: wow.. most of those are different things.. and I don't mean different ways of doing the same thing.. different things altogether | 08:49 |
| darlek | haven't touched win for two years now. Only have to use it outside the home | 08:50 |
| Samae | So it only suggest Intel procesor only | 08:50 |
| ubuntu__ | windows 7 is great | 08:50 |
| Slart | mespejel: I think wikipedia has some good articles on these things.. but I'll try to explain anyways | 08:50 |
| talishte | fortune! | 08:50 |
| ubuntu__ | even dare i say better than ubuntu | 08:50 |
| mib_9n53ng | unop_: cool, i was trying to steer away from windows though... i hate it. lol. but sadly, it is needed. what about ext3 as the main super partiion, can i get winxp to read from ext3 at all? | 08:50 |
| mobi-sheep | ubuntu__: Can Window 7 get viruses? Yes it is great! :) | 08:50 |
| ubuntu__ | no in windows seven viruses are disabled no more viruses on windows | 08:51 |
| Slart | mespejel: gnome is .. a framework.. it comes with stuff like a registry like database for application settings.. | 08:51 |
| Slart | mespejel: a structure for how applications should behave.. what they can do etc etc | 08:52 |
| darlek_ | mib: I hadn't heard that xp can read ext3 but if ubuntu is running on that then /home in nfts partition that might work and allow for sharing of files? | 08:52 |
| mobi-sheep | ubuntu__: I see "Windows 7 beta affected by Vista viruses" on Google :) | 08:52 |
| marlun | Is there a changeset viewer for ubuntu so I can view changesets for different packages? | 08:52 |
| BigV | unop_: It didnt work unfortunately. I tried to log in and I just got a black screen, still with a responding cursor, cant use crtlaltdel or ctrlaltbackspc, so I rebooted and same thing. | 08:52 |
| darlek_ | that way if ubuntu dies you can kill the partition without taking your files with it | 08:52 |
| myself | hey | 08:53 |

| myself | hey thanks guys thanks for welcoming me | 08:53 |
| mib_9n53ng | darlek: yes i know, i have expereinced that horror, that is why it will be 3 main partiions, xp, ubu, and main storadge | 08:53 |

| ubottu | myself: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 08:53 |
| Slart | mespejel: gtk is another kind of framework for doing application guis, if I'm correct | 08:53 |
| unop_ | BigV, did you say this install was a fresh install ? | 08:53 |
| myself | thank you | 08:53 |
| mobi-sheep | myself: You're welcome! :) | 08:54 |
| myself | i love you | 08:54 |
| BigV | unop_:yup, just finish an hour or so ago | 08:54 |
| darlek_ | mib: good call. Been there with Ibex haha | 08:54 |
| BigV | finished* | 08:54 |
| sll | hello everybody! I'm interested to obtain a bluetoooth hedset, remonendations and suggestions are welcome thanks! | 08:54 |
| mespejel | Slart: yeah im reading that gtk2 is the tools kits to make gnome | 08:54 |
| Samae | what is the best video editing in Ubuntu? | 08:54 |
| mespejel | so i kind of similar i guess | 08:54 |
| darlek_ | BigV: can you run the LiveCD? | 08:54 |
| mib_9n53ng | darlek: yah, i have been thru crashes on every distro release since 5.10 | 08:54 |
| BigV | darlek: havent tried | 08:54 |
| unop_ | BigV, sounds like something went wrong during the install .. this is very odd | 08:54 |
| mib_9n53ng | everything is backeed up, always | 08:55 |
| Slart | mespejel: compiz is a system where you basically don't draw stuff to the graphics screen directly.. you draw it to compiz.. then compiz takes all the windows and decides how to place them on the screen.. so compiz can decide that one window should be spinning around.. and the application doesn't have to deal with it.. | 08:55 |
| unop_ | BigV, open up a terminal and issue this command. sudo aptitude reinstall '~i' | 08:55 |
| sll | Samae: isn't easy to answer this quaswtion... depends.. take a look at cinelerra, openmovie editor... | 08:55 |
| Slart | mespejel: yes.. gnome uses gtk2, I think | 08:55 |
| mobi-sheep | Samae: sudo apt-cache search video | grep edit | 08:55 |
| mobi-sheep | Samae: Not all packages are for video editting. | 08:55 |
| darlek_ | mib: oh really? I've been quite lucky. Also since 5.10. Only Ibex flirted with disaster but was overcome. Luckily I didn't use it for long and quickly went to Jaunty | 08:55 |
| AdvoWork | hi there. ive got an axis network camera on our network, but im not sure of the IP, is there a way I can scan the network to find out where it is? | 08:56 |
| Samae | I was thinking alternative of afterEffects and Priemere | 08:56 |
| darlek_ | been using the same PIII lappy with external keyboard to save the motherboard glue :)) | 08:56 |
| BigV | unop: whoa, that looks like everything lol | 08:56 |
| mib_9n53ng | darlek yah, since 5.10. my main issues, are hardware that will crash and kill things | 08:56 |
| mib_9n53ng | leanred that lesson the hard way | 08:56 |
| mib_9n53ng | many times | 08:56 |
| unop_ | BigV, yes, it will take a while - time for a coffee break :) | 08:56 |
| nizaexe | Um, hi? | 08:57 |
| anodesni | I have an iso in ~/.latex/texlive2007-live-20070212.iso that I want to mount automatically on login, how to do this? | 08:57 |
| Slart | mespejel: what else...Emerald.. well.. to make Gnome easier to customize it doesn't draw the borders around the windows ... it just has something like a plugin that does that.. Emerald is one such plugin.. it's called a window-decorator | 08:57 |
| ubuntu__ | guys any help on installing os x themes how do i apply it after i download it? | 08:57 |
| Juliiiie | salut les copains | 08:58 |
| === Juliiiie is now known as antoine | ||
| Slart | mespejel: there are other window-decorators.. but Emerald works nicely with compiz.. not sure if it's compiz-only or just good with compiz | 08:58 |
| krisss117 | hi, can u help me ? where i can download airoscript ? My airoscript don't work :/ | 08:58 |
| BigV | unop: sweet well i need to go out anyway. thanks for your help so far. if it doesn't work I'll just do a fresh install as it might be possible something else has gone wrong which will crop up at some annoyingly unexpected time lol. night and thanks again | 08:58 |
| === xukun_ is now known as moll | ||
| BigV | thanks to the other ppl who gave some suggestions :D | 08:58 |
| mobi-sheep | Slart: Emerald is not supported if you didn't know that. :) | 08:58 |
| mib_9n53ng | but yah, main reason i have to do all this is cause im buying an itouch | 08:58 |
| mobi-sheep | !emerald | 08:58 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 08:58 |
| darlek_ | BigV: good luck | 08:58 |
| mib_9n53ng | i need an mp3 player | 08:58 |
| Slart | mespejel: I think gtk was what did these things before compiz | 08:58 |
| mib_9n53ng | and portable gps | 08:58 |
| BigV | thanks darlek, see ya | 08:59 |
| Slart | mobi-sheep: uh?.. what are we using in ubuntu these days? | 08:59 |
| mobi-sheep | Slart: Compiz. | 08:59 |
| moll | Can I burn .ts directly to a dvd that will play in my standalone dvd player? | 08:59 |
| moll | .ts file .. | 08:59 |
| === unop_ is now known as unop | ||
| darlek_ | mib: mplayer, mpg321, audacious... all free.. all the time | 08:59 |
| mobi-sheep | Slart: To be more precise, Compiz-Fusion. I think. No more emerald though. :) | 08:59 |
| mespejel | Slart: so compiz is a window manager. and emerald like a decorator | 08:59 |
| mespejel | so if get emerald i dont need the gtk2 themes from www.gnome-look.org? | 09:00 |
| mespejel | can't mix i guess | 09:00 |
| billybigrigger | can someone help me mount a raid setup from my 9.10 install? im in 9.04 live cd right now. i can't mount sda1 or sdb1, and md0 isn't showing... | 09:00 |
| billybigrigger | http://pastebin.com/m5ecd9eba | 09:00 |
| mib_9n53ng | darlek: naw man, i need a portable one. and i havent really read any positive reviews on any aps that simply will allow me to connect, transfer, dissconnect, and be on my way | 09:00 |
| mib_9n53ng | darlek: ill have to do it from win xp side unfortunately | 09:00 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya all... i got an ubuntu 8.10 box acting as a firewall/router. rather odd issue... if i have default MTU, then desktops on our net which run Linux and Mac can't load facebook. if i change the MTU on the router's outbound interface to 1400, then facebook works. why should the MTU have this effect??? | 09:01 |
| darlek_ | mib: ah, I just use my NDS which uses microSD ;) You might consider a SD based mp3 player so you have that flexibility too | 09:01 |
| Slart | mobi-sheep: huh.. didn't know that.. thanks.. | 09:01 |
| Slart | mespejel: yes | 09:01 |
| moll | Can I burn .ts video file directly to a dvd that will play in my standalone dvd player? | 09:02 |

| mib_9n53ng | darlek: yah, i used to do that, and i used to use my psp, tro big though. so, i need a unit capable of skype, music, gps, web browsing, organizer, ebook reader, learning software, some simple games, in one unit | 09:02 |
| mespejel | Slart: is there any tips for 9.04 to get it run even faster? and also get a faster boot? i know it is already fast but i wonder if there are tricks? | 09:02 |
| mib_9n53ng | unfortunaly, only apple offers a relatively good choice | 09:03 |
| mobi-sheep | Slart: Probably metacity. | 09:03 |
| yikesno | I just installed Ubuntu on a third machine and two of them have a weird issue. When I open a window with selectable options like System -> Administrator -> Services the window is blank. I've unlocked the control by entering my password and it is still blank. This is a fresh full install. also programs like gPodder have the issue where the list has options but shows blank. Any ideas? | 09:03 |

| Aryaan | Can anyone help me to get Hibernate work on Ubuntu 8.04 | 09:04 |
| Slart | mobi-sheep: mm... there were bugs indeed.. once again.. thanks | 09:04 |

| Slart | mespejel: well.. there are some things you can do.. you can make the startup-scripts run concurrently.. ie several scripts run at the same time | 09:04 |
| Slart | mespejel: it didn't change much for me.. but it's one of those things that people keep recommending | 09:05 |
| Slart | mespejel: bah.. I have to reboot.. be back | 09:06 |

| jvainio | i need G++ right | 09:21 |
| darlek | no doubt | 09:21 |
| kenyon | crawl is in the ubuntu archives, no need to download from softpedia | 09:21 |
| jvainio | but when trying to get it thru apt get it says no package like g available | 09:21 |
| jvainio | but i want the Tiled version and the stone soup version | 09:21 |
| jvainio | which i have a source for on my comp now | 09:21 |
| Symbiosss | how to reinstall gnome? | 09:22 |
| kenyon | jvainio: why are you trying to compile it? why not sudo aptitude install crawl? | 09:22 |
| jvainio | because it is the basic crawl. id rather have the Tiled Stone Soup version | 09:22 |
| jvainio | even untiled Stone Soup will do | 09:22 |
| jvainio | but SS it is, because it is MUCH MUCH more balanced | 09:22 |
| === DodgerDog^Dinner is now known as DodgerDog^Drinki | ||

| === DodgerDog^Drinki is now known as DodgerDog^Drink | ||
| kenyon | did you read the documentation that came with the package on how to compile? | 09:22 |
| kenyon | you probably need to run ./configure first | 09:23 |
| jvainio | yeah, id need a bunch of packaged | 09:23 |
| jvainio | s | 09:23 |
| darlek | with gcc/g++ install build_essential just in case, helpful in compilation | 09:23 |
| jvainio | but cannot retrieve them | 09:23 |
| darlek | kenyon: he needs a compiler first ;) | 09:23 |
| kenyon | !info build-essential | jvainio | 09:23 |

| jvainio | yeah the install says error no g++ | 09:23 |
| jvainio | so apt get that ok.. | 09:23 |
| kenyon | darlek: no, you can run ./configure without a compiler | 09:24 |
| jvainio | hmm it still says ERROR cannot LOCK install dir | 09:24 |
| mespejel | mobi-sheep: yeah that's what im asking.. but i like ubuntu. there is no way i can work on that using ubuntu? | 09:24 |
| jvainio | but i have no synaptic open | 09:24 |
| darlek | ah that's true too isn't it | 09:24 |
| Flynsarmy | VLC is showing videos in their own window instead of part of the main VLC window. how do i fix that? | 09:24 |
| mobi-sheep | mespejel: Are you using ext3 or ext4? Using ext4 would help. Don't use it on production servers though. :) | 09:25 |
| darlek | cannot LOCK means permissions, so try sudo'ing | 09:25 |
| jvainio | yeah sudo ye ye | 09:25 |
| jvainio | but still | 09:25 |
| jvainio | kenyon: no configure file anywhere | 09:25 |

| darlek | cm21: I can't remember the program but I'm on a laptop, so sometimes there is a laptop program used to powerdown my screen a bit. I remember I turned it off once and that brightened up the screen | 09:31 |
| jvainio | i will reboot | 09:31 |
| jvainio | and come back hhere | 09:31 |
| jvainio | cannot figure out what that process table says | 09:31 |

| neurochrome | darlek: have you added the brightness applet to the panel and tried using that? | 09:32 |
| === Odo is now known as Odo081 | ||
| neurochrome | darlek: is it a laptop? | 09:32 |
| mobi-sheep | darlek: Power management? | 09:32 |
| jvainio | hmmm apparently neurochrome you were right there was a dialog window somewhere | 09:32 |
| jvainio | now it works, the buildessentials thing | 09:32 |
| neurochrome | jvainio: good | 09:33 |
| rockman | Good afternoon. | 09:33 |
| neurochrome | 'noon | 09:33 |
| mobi-sheep | cm21: Is there a 'Brightness Applet' in the list of applets that you can add to Gnome-Panel? | 09:33 |
| mobi-sheep | cm21: Try right-click on a panel and "Add to.." Look for Brightness Applet. | 09:33 |
| ce_manis | hhhyyyy | 09:33 |
| cm21 | yes, but don't work | 09:33 |
| darlek | cm21: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4170431 for some ideas. This is a laptop post, but desktop might have similar issues. I don't know more about it though | 09:33 |
| neurochrome | cm21: do u use a prop driver for your gfx? | 09:33 |
| neurochrome | cm21: the brightness aplet is for laptops only | 09:34 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a deb available anywhere for the 1.0 RC2 of VLC? | 09:34 |
| neurochrome | sounds like a gamma/brightness/contrast issue maybe | 09:34 |
| neurochrome | Flynsarmy: have you checked the vlc site | 09:34 |
| cm21 | so, nothing for desktop | 09:34 |
| darlek | cm21: is there a time when the screen is okay or is it always dark? | 09:34 |
| neurochrome | Flynsarmy: getdeb? | 09:34 |
| Flynsarmy | neurochrome, ya, not on the download page | 09:34 |
| cm21 | always dark | 09:35 |
| jvainio | ok thanks everybody, especially darlek, neurochrome and mobi-sheep | 09:35 |
| neurochrome | cm21: yeah. normally the gfx cards control app | 09:35 |
| Flynsarmy | neurochrome, searching for 'vlc' on getdeb returns nothing | 09:35 |
| neurochrome | jvainio: np | 09:35 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources | 09:35 |
| darlek | cm21: try switching off acpi at boot | 09:35 |
| neurochrome | Flynsarmy: probably not then... have you checked the version provided by ubuntu-tweak | 09:36 |
| cm21 | because the monitor (CRT) is old | 09:36 |
| Flynsarmy | neurochrome, newbie here. don't know what that is | 09:36 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: I have the solution -- Do you want it? | 09:36 |
| neurochrome | it's an app that enables 3rd party sources for you to install from.. vlc is on the list.. these will normally be newer versions than those provided by canonical | 09:37 |
| neurochrome | Flynsarmy: see mobi-sheep he looks like he has the answer | 09:37 |
| slim | good morning | 09:37 |
| Flynsarmy | mobi-sheep, yes please | 09:37 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list --> Type in a password --> You'll see a Text Edit popping up. | 09:37 |
| neurochrome | mobi-sheep: he's a noob give him the gksudo gedit version! ;) | 09:37 |
| cm21 | thanks for your help neurochrome | 09:37 |
| neurochrome | mobi-sheep: GKSUDO! lol | 09:38 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: Use gksudo instead of sudo. Sorry! | 09:38 |
| neurochrome | cm21: np | 09:38 |
| cm21 | I will live on the darkness | 09:38 |
| mobi-sheep | Heh. | 09:38 |
| * neurochrome is a stickler for the rules! he he! | 09:38 | |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: You there? Run "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in the terminal. | 09:39 |
| Flynsarmy | mobi-sheep, yea i have | 09:39 |
| raz | my ubuntu laptop makes an annoying, high pitched sound when it wakes up from suspend. anyone know how to disable that? | 09:39 |
| raz | i googled for "resume sound" and such, but found nohting | 09:39 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: Add three lines. 1) # VLC 2) deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main 3) deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | 09:39 |
| darlek | raz: you might have a key stuck, type the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog and all the other keys | 09:40 |
| raz | darlek, no. the sound is not permanent, it seems to be a notification sample played on purpose | 09:40 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: # VLC | 09:40 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | 09:40 |

| Elive_user33_en | Hi All.. I have a Active Directory ( Win 2003 ) and a NIS server (Ubuntu ) is there a way where I can synchronize Windows AD password with NIS.. so that user needs to have only one password..Rather than two different passwords? | 09:41 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: With me so far? What you're doing is that you accept the risk and the patches that were made by a username 'kow' -- You understand me? This is adding a new source repos to your list. | 09:41 |
| n0yd | Could someone give me a hand? Apache doesn't start on boot anymore, but starts fine with apache2ctl but NOT /etc/init.d/apache2 start. But I just discovered I have /etc/init.d/apache2 AND /etc/init.d/apache2.1. If I use the apache2.1 init script manually, it starts fine, no errors. Any ideas whats going on? | 09:42 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: By doing this, you're getting a patched version of new VLC 1.0 ALPHA. I have this too. | 09:42 |
| darlek | raz: it's hard to judge a stuck key on the laptops. Even a non stuck key can have gunk pressed into it making the connection, even if the key isn't really that bad. I took my keyboard off, went over it and found two keys. Cleaned, and it worked. The noise you hear is buffer overrun. | 09:42 |
| Flynsarmy | mobi-sheep, yea i've played with apt sources before. Is there not a 1.0 rc2 one? | 09:42 |
| darlek | raz: YMMV of course of course | 09:42 |
| mobi-sheep | Flynsarmy: Assuming you did it right -- You added three lines --> Comment + Two Source Lines. Now "sudo aptitude update" | 09:42 |
| krisss117 | hi, where i can find airoscript to ubuntu, becouse i download and it dosn.t work :/ | 09:42 |

| ozon_ | i ll come here later | 09:43 |
| Flynsarmy | mobi-sheep, The following signatures could not be verified because the public key is not available | 09:43 |

| n0yd | Elive_user33_en, no error. and the 2.1 one isnt starting a boot anyway | 09:43 |

| Snomi | ok.. | 09:56 |
| Snomi | my compiz config manager thing i broken.. | 09:56 |
| mobi-sheep | Anybody know what's up with VirtualBox repo? | 09:56 |
| Snomi | and i cant use ubuntu | 09:56 |
| Snomi | but i can get into the terminal | 09:57 |
| ziroday | Snomi: how is it broken? Please be specific | 09:57 |
| methvan | I have the two computer symbols on the task bar thing, when I left click on it, it is telling me my wireless connections are unmanaged... any ideas?? | 09:57 |
| lanoxx- | can i mount my existing /home partition on a newly installed ubuntu with the same user name existing on both installations or will that give complications | 09:57 |
| Snomi | ziroday: ive written it before: i downloaded compiz configuration thing, and i set the effect to blur....now i can only see black windows xD anyone got any suggestions? should i go to the failsafe terminal and uninstall the configuarion tool? | 09:57 |
| mmm4m5m | ziroday: I think, "auto remove" is not the same as "orphaned".. at least for synaptic, looks it is different | 09:57 |
| an7 | Anyone know what cpufreq method is actually being used on Jaunty? It seems to keep my cpu stuck on lowest frequency, even when I select the performance governor in the gnome applet | 09:57 |
| darlek_ | openros: CloneZilla or G4L (Ghost 4 Linux) should be okay | 09:57 |
| ozzmosis | lanoxx-: the only complication is if the user numbers are different | 09:57 |
| ozzmosis | lanoxx-: the numerical user ID, that is | 09:58 |
| ziroday | Snomi: removing the configuration tool won't do anything | 09:58 |
| Snomi | darn | 09:58 |
| lanoxx- | ozzmosis, ok, so concerning configuration files thats no problem? thus i only have to check with the id command if the user ids are identical | 09:58 |
| rdz | hi all. when waking up from suspend, my macbook4,1 with jaunty makes some optical drive noise, but stays black. i also cannot connect per ssh then. it seems, that waking up was stopped at some point. how can i help debug this? | 09:58 |
| ziroday | Snomi: try do sudo mv ~/.compiz ~/.compiz.old | 09:58 |
| Snomi | in the failsafe terminal ? | 09:58 |
| ozzmosis | Snomi: you can probably just rm $HOME/.compiz .. or do what ziroday said | 09:59 |
| tdn | After upgrading to Kubuntu 9.04, ny disk keeps spinning down, when I am not using it. Even when I'm on AC Power. This is very annoying and probably damaging my disk. How do I make it stop? | 09:59 |
| ozzmosis | lanoxx-: correct | 09:59 |
| kenyon | an7: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor | 09:59 |
| ozzmosis | tdn: I think the hdparm command can control that | 09:59 |
| ziroday | Snomi: no, press ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a VT. Press ctrl+alt+f7 to get back | 10:00 |
| an7 | kenyon, that shows the governor as set, but the scaling doesnt change (acual mhz/ghz) | 10:00 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | sudo fdisk -sudo fdisk -l | 10:00 |
| lanoxx- | ozzmosis, thats cool, i just installed a fresh installation of jaunty on a different partition since there is just to much stuff broken, now im trying to figure out how to best do the migration, would you suggest copying over files from /etc/? | 10:00 |
| Snomi | wont that show up at black too | 10:00 |
| ozzmosis | lanoxx-: I guess that depends what's broken :) | 10:00 |
| Snomi | ziroday: | 10:00 |
| kenyon | an7: it's hard to see because it changes so fast | 10:00 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | woops haha | 10:00 |
| Snomi | ziroday: wont that show up as black too | 10:00 |
| kenyon | an7: did it say ondemand? | 10:00 |
| ziroday | Snomi: no, its a virtual terminal | 10:00 |
| tdn | ozzmosis, I have tried. No effect. | 10:00 |
| an7 | kenyon - my cpu is sitting at 76% | 10:00 |
| ziroday | !pastebin | JesusCake[BoT] | 10:00 |
| tdn | ozzmosis, hdparm -S0 does not work. | 10:00 |
| ubottu | JesusCake[BoT]: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 10:00 |
| Snomi | woot ok | 10:00 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | hmm? | 10:01 |
| an7 | kenyon, it says performance, but the scaling__cur_freq sits at 800mhz (which sucks for a 2ghz laptop plugged into mains) | 10:01 |
| ziroday | JesusCake[BoT]: you have no windows partitions installed | 10:01 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | okay. | 10:01 |
| ozzmosis | tdn: how does it "not work"? | 10:01 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | why is it still acting sluggish then? | 10:01 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | a clean install will fix the problems it had, but this is not | 10:01 |
| lanoxx- | ozzmosis, basically scim and the printer dialog (system-config-printer) and a few other things, random crashes, and most annoyingly i have a lot of remaining kde packets lying around since i originally installed kubuntu and then later on installed ubunut-desktop | 10:02 |
| lanoxx- | also at boot time i still get the kubuntu splash but only have of the time and then it falls back to tty | 10:03 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | so i still have not found a solution. | 10:03 |
| scandinavian | Enter text here...hello | 10:03 |
| Snomi | ziroday: there is no .compiz directory | 10:03 |
| kenyon | an7: I use ondemand on my core2 quad desktop. I have cpufrequtils installed, which provides a cpufreq-set program. | 10:03 |
| ziroday | Snomi: you are looking in /home/yourusername correct? | 10:03 |
| Snomi | what should i type ziroday | 10:04 |
| an7 | kenyon, I tried installing that, but then gnome failed to login - some sort of clash with the builtin power tools? It didnt seem to let me change anything either though | 10:04 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | .... | 10:04 |
| ziroday | Snomi: do cd ~ | 10:04 |
| ziroday | Snomi: and then ls -la | grep compiz | 10:04 |
| Snomi | cd ~/.compiz ? | 10:04 |
| lanoxx- | ozzmosis, or would you say these problems are fixable? | 10:04 |
| ozzmosis | lanoxx-: usually you'd just copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.. possibly /etc/hosts .. maybe APT's sources.lst.. most of the stuff people care about is under $HOME or somewhere else though.. occasionally in /var | 10:04 |
| ziroday | Snomi: does ls -la | grep compiz return anything when you are in your homedir? | 10:05 |
| an7 | kenyon, http://pastebin.com/m11f137f8 | 10:05 |
| ozzmosis | lanoxx-: everything is fixable if you have the time | 10:05 |
| lanoxx- | ozzmosis, i would have the time i guess but not the knowledge and google was not help to sofar | 10:05 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | ... | 10:05 |
| Snomi | ziroday: so i type Is -la | grep compiz | 10:05 |
| kenyon | an7: hmm I don't know, maybe you can just disable scaling? | 10:06 |
| Snomi | is that and L ? | 10:06 |
| an7 | kenyon, how? | 10:06 |
| ziroday | Snomi: it is an l | 10:06 |
| ziroday | Snomi: l L (el) | 10:06 |
| Snomi | ziroday: capital i? | 10:06 |
| ozzmosis | Snomi: ls .. short for list | 10:06 |
| Snomi | k | 10:06 |
| an7 | kenyon, google seems to think removing powernowd | 10:06 |
| Snomi | then in the middle, is that a line | 10:06 |
| an7 | kenyon, but its not installed on my box | 10:06 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | is there anyway to fix the sluggishness i am experiencing right now? | 10:07 |
| gorbierd | hey | 10:07 |
| Snomi | JesusCake[BoT]: which version of ubuntu are you on | 10:07 |
| gorbierd | how do i search text within text files on my disk? | 10:07 |
| ozzmosis | !grep | gorbierd | 10:07 |
| ubottu | gorbierd: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:07 |
| ozzmosis | erm | 10:07 |
| ozzmosis | wasn't expecting that | 10:07 |
| JesusCake[BoT] | 9.04 | 10:07 |
| linux_manju | gorbierd, grep -i pattern filename or * | 10:07 |
| ozzmosis | gorbierd: use grep | 10:08 |
| ozzmosis | ignore ubottu ;) | 10:08 |
| gorbierd | thnx!:) | 10:08 |
| gorbierd | it search in sub dirrectories? | 10:08 |
| ozzmosis | gorbierd: grep -r | 10:08 |
| linux_manju | gorbierd, grep -r would do | 10:08 |
| gorbierd | thnks a lot to all | 10:09 |
| kenyon | an7: you could try unloading the module listed by cpufreq-info -d | 10:09 |
| linux_manju | gorbierd, for eg.. If i wanted to search myname I would do somehting like this grep -r -i myname * | 10:09 |
| an7 | kenyon, I dont see any kernel modules - it must be builtin on jaunty | 10:09 |
| an7 | i dont have cpufreq-utils installed | 10:09 |
| ozzmosis | JesusCake[BoT]: only sluggishness I've seen was on a 10 year old PC with a crappy video card, and the mouse cursor would jump all over the shop. HDD performance seemed OK though, so I put it down to the Xorg driver. you'll have to narrow down what the cause is. find out what's slow and what isn't. | 10:10 |
| kenyon | an7: apparently gnome-power-manager might be handling it | 10:12 |
| Snomi | http://wiki.opencompositing.org/Troubleshooting#Black_Window_Bug anyone got any fixes? | 10:12 |
| an7 | kenyon, maybe i should be filing a but against gnome-power-manager then | 10:13 |

| hskill | when "system calls" say they access the operating system, does that just mean the kernel? | 10:31 |

| gordonjcp | hskill: yes, or possibly some of the common libraries | 10:31 |

| Hyperi | Hi, I'm wondering why I can't connect WLAN with my Ubuntu box. 'iwlist ath0 scan' and all works. But for some reasons I can't get DHCP value out of it. Any logs I could see that could possibly produce error? | 10:32 |
| hskill | gordonjcp why would a system call use a library, wouldnt you just use the library call? | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | hskill: it's a fuzzy area | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: if you set a static ip does it work ok? | 10:32 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: Should be DHCP :/ Want me to try? :/ | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | hskill: in very very old Unixes it was a lot more clear-cut, when you had a whacking great monolithic kernel and user libs and applications on top | 10:33 |
| darlek_ | Hyperi: iwlist doesn't provide DHCP, only the list of networks your wifi sees | 10:33 |
| Hyperi | (And yes, the box is configured nicely and works on 3 other devices. I even fallbacked from using WPA to WEP for making it more simple. | 10:33 |
| darlek_ | !iwlist | 10:33 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about iwlist | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: its worth it, just to test | 10:33 |
| darlek_ | argh | 10:33 |
| Hyperi | darlek_: Point was that the WLAN is working. | 10:33 |
| gordonjcp | hskill: now you've got some libraries that are very close-coupled to the kernel, and others that are quite deeply abstracted | 10:33 |
| hskill | gordonjcp ok thanks | 10:33 |
| gordonjcp | hskill: clear as mud, right? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: you need to work out exactly what is and isnt working | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: we know scanning works and we can find APs | 10:34 |
| darlek_ | oh I see... | 10:34 |
| === Seti-high is now known as Demonicdata | ||
| gordonjcp | hskill: think of "system calls" as going off to a big black box with a huge multi-pin connector and the lid rivetted shut, that you really don't want to open up ;-) | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: you may also want to try disabling WEP / WPAx to see if that connects. Not all devces can use WPA under Linux | 10:34 |
| MindVirus | Hi. How do I use my guest session? I have gdm-guest-session installed. | 10:35 |
| Hyperi | But all systems should be capable of WEP | 10:35 |
| Hyperi | Right? | 10:35 |
| MindVirus | I tried logging in as "guest" without a password but that didn't work. | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: sure, its why i use wep | 10:35 |
| Hyperi | My overall dislike is that WEP only protects from normal users. | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | Hyperi: so does WPA | 10:36 |

| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: then implement extra security ;) | 10:36 |
| MindVirus | WPA protects against hackers, gordonjcp. | 10:36 |
| MindVirus | WEP is insecure. | 10:36 |
| Hyperi | If advanced users wanted to snoop / use, WEP is like taking candy from a child | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | MindVirus: "crackers", please | 10:36 |
| MindVirus | gordonjcp, as you wish. | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | wep is fine provided yuo use extra steps to add security | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | MindVirus: and no, it does not protect against them | 10:36 |
| hskill | how possible is it that there are major security flaws in operating systems that were never published and just a single hacker or group of hackers knows about and is able to do serious damage with without anyone knowing? | 10:36 |
| Hyperi | gordonjcp: To be even more specific, protects from hackers AND crackers. | 10:36 |
| Hyperi | ! | 10:36 |
| MindVirus | gordonjcp, it protects against undetermined crackers. | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | unless you're doing the full bhuna with an auth server and certificates | 10:36 |
| Hyperi | The difference is how they "use their powers" | 10:36 |

| gordonjcp | MindVirus: WEP can be broken in a couple of minutes, WPA-PSK can be broken in a couple of hours | 10:37 |

| Artilheiro | hello | 10:37 |
| MindVirus | ActionParsnip, because it's supposed to already have been built-in. | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | MindVirus: I use WEP, because if I used WPA my Nintendo DS among other things wouldn't work | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | if it's *important* then I don't use wireless | 10:37 |
| MindVirus | And I would like to have the account cleaned every time it is used, ActionParsnip. | 10:38 |
| beli | hskill: you just need to find them.....its more security by obscurity what you are talking about.... | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: sure but if you use restricted subnet masks, mac filtering, hidden ssid and no dhcp with a bizarre ip range it makes it a whole lot trickier | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: hidden SSID isn't a great idea, because it breaks a lot of more simpleminded clients | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: and in fact, it breaks certain simpleminded APs that happen to fire up on the same channel | 10:38 |
| hskill | it's wpa and preferably wpa2 or bust | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: works fine here | 10:39 |

| ozzmosis | irmandos: that's one crazy font | 10:42 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: looks like an Xorg driver bug | 10:43 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: sometimes you need a large subnet | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: coupled with weird ip ranges, like 10.100.10.244/30 gives 2 addresses that are allowed | 10:43 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: could be a hardware fault though. some video cards do weird things when their memory goes bad. | 10:43 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: yeah | 10:43 |
| irmandos | i have tried nvidia driver ver 173, 177 and now 180 and it does not get better only worse | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: its not too far away from what i use ;) | 10:43 |
| Artilheiro | darlek that command is not right... | 10:43 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: what card is it? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: then turn off dhcp and its extra secure :D | 10:43 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: not so helpful if you've got 300 wifi devices scattered around six APs ;-) | 10:43 |
| irmandos | i have nvidia 6200 | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: then you need 2 subnets | 10:44 |
| gordonjcp | no, you need one /23 subnet | 10:44 |

| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: i'd have a few for 300 clients, like 3 or 4 APs with a seperate subnet, break stuff up a bit | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: but thats me | 10:45 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: I'm using 180.51 under 9.04, geforge 6600. works fine for me. | 10:45 |
| irmandos | and well those screenshots where made this morning can anyone plz help | 10:45 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: depends on what you're trying to do | 10:45 |
| Ajit | by mistake I had deleted /etc/apt/sources.list from Ubuntu 7.04 ; when I was trying to rename a file as sources.list then it is giving error (I was login as root user) | 10:45 |
| irmandos | it has gone to such extent that if i move my mouse the 'stripes' does not go away anymore they just jump to n new location | 10:46 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: so it's been getting worse? | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: true | 10:46 |
| rabidweezle | Artilheiro, according to google... your laptop has a... Intel 3945 802.11g Wireless | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajit: you shouldnt be loggin on as root, it degrades security | 10:47 |
| * rabidweezle looks that up with ubuntu... | 10:47 | |
| ActionParsnip | Ajit: 7.04 is EOL too | 10:47 |

| irmandos | jip its kinda okay when the system starts up only one or two stripes and the longer the pc runs the worse it gets to the extent that the whole screen is covered | 10:49 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: is the fan working? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | irmandos: it the system ram healthy? | 10:49 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: that just sounds like a hardware fault to me | 10:49 |
| irmandos | jip i have 2 fans and they are both running normally | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | irmandos: are the fans facing the right direction? | 10:50 |
| irmandos | I do have the ability to enable the normal desktop affects under System => Preferences => Appearance but the 'stripes' just keeps on coming back wether it is set to effects or no effects | 10:50 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos: what happens when you logout of X, then back in again, after the PC has been on for a while? do the stripes go away, or come back immediately? | 10:50 |
| ozzmosis | ... because a logout will restart X, and the video card driver | 10:51 |
| irmandos | there is nothing wrong with the fans i had windows vista on here and it worked without any problems | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | irmandos: having fans is good but if they are facing a bad direction they can make the air hotter | 10:51 |
| irmandos | it just comes back whether i log out or use ctrl + alt + backspace | 10:51 |
| adaw4da | hi all | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | irmandos: are you fully updated? | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | adaw4da | 10:52 |
| ubottu | adaw4da: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 10:52 |
| darlek_ | irmandos: is the system overclocked via bios? | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | is the video card overclocked | 10:52 |
| irmandos | jip fully updated system, and no the bois does not support overclocking | 10:52 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: hmm, I defined manually everything. Still nothing. | 10:52 |
| === guest4 is now known as sarkonyak | ||
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: Any place I can see if it actually even connects ? | 10:53 |
| irmandos | nothing is overclocked I use the pc for media editing | 10:53 |
| === sarkonyak is now known as sarkoNYAK | ||
| irmandos | so no overclocking has been done | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: ifconfig; route | 10:53 |
| darlek_ | irmandos: sorry, is this a laptop? if so, if you can connect to an external monitor it would verify if it was a linux or hardware screen issue | 10:54 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: Says "Destination:192.168.0.0 Gateway: * Genmask: 255.255.255.0 Flags: U Metric: 0 Ref: 0 Use: 0 Iface: ath0" | 10:54 |
| irmandos | no this is a pc | 10:55 |
| adaw4da | I have a problem with my network.. A couple of days ago it worked but now it doesn't.. I haven't do nothing of strange.. in the network manager it is all ok, all ip, submask and gateway configured but if I do a ifconfig nothing is setted.. what's wrang with it? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: does the route command show your routers internal ip address | 10:55 |
| karex | HELP, i'd done 'sudo update-initramfs -u', but the boot usplash hasn't changed (shutdown usplash has changed) | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !splash | 10:55 |
| Boohbah | adaw4da: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:55 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !usplash | 10:55 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 10:55 |
| darlek_ | dang, I had to look that up haha | 10:56 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: hmm, the router should be 192.168.0.1 | 10:56 |
| adaw4da | uhm ok | 10:56 |
| adaw4da | now I try it | 10:56 |
| secret901 | I removed some items from the Applications menu and now when I try to open it it's just one pixel long. How do I restore it? | 10:56 |
| Hyperi | idk why it says .0.0 there | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: thats the network address | 10:56 |
| secret901 | How do I reset the Applications menu? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: i'd check yuor ip address settings | 10:57 |
| adaw4da | no chages.. | 10:57 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: I set it as 192.168.0.200 | 10:57 |
| adaw4da | *changes | 10:57 |
| Hyperi | So it wouldn't collide with others | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperi: and you'll need to set the default gateway | 10:58 |
| karex | ActionParsnip: i've done that | 10:59 |
| irmandos | ozzmosis, ActionParsnip, darlek_: Any idees as to what can be wrong with my pc display? | 10:59 |
| secret901 | How do I reset the items to be displayed in the Applications menu in Gnome? I remember there was a file and if you delete it it will reset. | 10:59 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: hmm 'man ifconfig' says nothing about it :/ | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | karex: thats all i know, i removed all splash sceens, speeds stuff up. | 10:59 |
| adaw4da | any ideas? | 10:59 |
| v3trae | hey guys, just recently came back to ubuntu after a long hiatus from it, and i seem to have forgotten how to autostart daemons on boot. I'm familiar with rc-update from gentoo but can't seem to figure it out here. Where should i look? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !bum | v3trae | 11:00 |
| ubottu | v3trae: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 11:00 |
| Hyperi | ActionParsnip: Easy quick tips what to type or where to look for it? :P | 11:00 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: thank you | 11:00 |
| darlek_ | irmandos: Don't know. Try the LiveCD and see if it fails? | 11:00 |

| Hyperi | aaa ip route add default via IP :P | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | karex: if you remove usplash it does a lot for you. I dont care for eye candy and most of the default OS so i strip most of it out | 11:02 |

| === darlek_ is now known as darlek | ||
| david_ | does any1 know the "Verve" mini-command line plugin for xfce - does one exist for ubuntu (not xubuntu? | 11:06 |
| darlek | what does the verve command do then? | 11:06 |
| david_ | it is sipmlyu a mini-command line plugin | 11:06 |
| darlek | apropos the action, and you might find a similar command | 11:06 |
| darlek | so a command line on the menu bar? | 11:07 |
| david_ | so in the bottom bar you actualle see a text-box | 11:07 |
| david_ | yup | 11:07 |
| darlek | right | 11:07 |
| darlek | yes that exists in ubuntu-gnome | 11:07 |
| darlek | it's a part of the menus that you can add | 11:07 |
| david_ | how is it called? | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | david_: like tilda? | 11:07 |
| david_ | ehhhhh | 11:07 |
| david_ | don['t know tilde | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | david_: its a drop down terminal that acts like the Quake / half life / doom tilda terminal | 11:08 |
| v3trae | david_: tilda is really good, i use it on all my non headless boxes | 11:08 |
| Snomi | JesusCake[BoT], | 11:08 |
| v3trae | david_: works alot better then yakuza imo | 11:08 |
| darlek | right click, add to panel... | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | david_: gives you a terminal you can show and hide with a hotkey | 11:08 |
| darlek | there will be a list | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | david_: yakuake is the kde equiv | 11:09 |
| v3trae | david_: only problem i ever have is just getting it thr right size, but you can do that after 2-3 minutes playing with pixel length | 11:09 |
| v3trae | david_: aye yakuake* excuse me. Tilda works fine in kde though | 11:09 |
| david_ | 10x - I'm trying the various alternatives you've proposed | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | david_: if yuo dont like it, you can always uninstall :D | 11:11 |
| v3trae | david_: i really can't recommend tilda enough. it's fantastic, and much less complicated then the borderless aterm alternative. | 11:11 |
| Tim183 | i haven't had any updates come through on jaunty for about 2 weeks now... is this correct? | 11:12 |
| v3trae | david_: i can send you a screenshot of tilda in action, might help you figure out if thats what you're looking for | 11:13 |
| === Envy0pla is now known as Pikiora | ||
| ozzmosis | Tim183: the last update I saw was for ntpdate | 11:13 |
| ozzmosis | Tim183: depends what you have installed, I suppose | 11:13 |
| cantoma | guys, is it possible to use dropbox without having to install nautilus? | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | cantoma: i think its a dependancy | 11:15 |
| ozzmosis | what's dropbox? | 11:15 |
| v3trae | ozzmosis: mac idea, allows for a network share where someone can put files in, but can't get files out or see whats there. | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !infodropbox | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !info dropbox | 11:16 |
| ubottu | Package dropbox does not exist in jaunty | 11:16 |
| ozzmosis | v3trae: ah, sounds a bit like an anonymous ftp inbox .. upload but no download | 11:16 |
| v3trae | ozzmosis: aye, he may mean over a smb share though | 11:17 |
| ozzmosis | right | 11:17 |
| cemunal | will not i use nvidia 71* series drivers with latest xorg version? | 11:17 |
| cantoma | ozzmosis: have you try google it? | 11:17 |
| ^arky^ | hi Question: How do you override the $ARCH variable for a particular repo in apt sources.list file | 11:18 |
| Juzman-EeePC | Hey guys, I installed the rc7 kernel to test intel drivers, but touchpad didnt work on eeepc, so I rolled back to default kernel for jaunty, but now webcam wont work | 11:18 |
| Juzman-EeePC | any ideas? | 11:18 |
| v3trae | cantoma: anyway, i'm not sure if it's possible. It works in OSX which uses the same mount function as we do, just not sure how to do it. | 11:18 |
| darlek | liking tilda ;) hadn't used that before | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | darlek: its groovy | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | darlek: dont forget to put transparency on it (even if it is pseudo) | 11:19 |
| v3trae | darlek: it's fantastic, it's amoung the first things i install on a fresh box, next to compiz,conky,and irssi | 11:19 |
| darlek | no kidding. I run terminals at startup, so I hadn't giving it a thought in a while | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ewww @ compiz | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | darlek: put it in your !startup too so it loads at boot | 11:20 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: i'm a sucker for pretty-ness. | 11:20 |
| david_ | OKOK | 11:20 |
| darlek | no lie | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | lxde > compiz | 11:20 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: never heard of it, i'll have to check it out | 11:20 |
| v3trae | !info lxde | 11:20 |

| v3trae | ActionParsnip: oh, knoppix is using that now. | 11:21 |
| david_ | I actually meant sometinh much simpler | 11:21 |
| david_ | something just presenting an embeded textbox in the menu bar | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | v3trae: theres a project called LUBUNTU which is just getting established | 11:22 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: lxde replaces gnome does it not? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | v3trae: yes | 11:22 |
| ubuntu__ | why does Ubuntu Netbook Remix Live USB has Internet Connection capability. It even connects wired network automatically. | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | v3trae: but can run gnome apps | 11:22 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: yeah i use compiz with gnome, for pretty animations =) | 11:22 |
| csaba | how can I check my gmail account with "mail" in the console? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | v3trae: not my thing. i want my stuff to happen before ive even thought it rather than wait for a lame anim to finish | 11:23 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: works pretty well with kde4 as well, as well as kde4 will let it anyway. | 11:23 |
| ozzmosis | csaba: you'd need to use fetchmail to pull your gmail messages to a local folder | 11:23 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: well it depends on the boxes use, for personal use i like animations, for servers, i'm fine with a terminal frankly | 11:23 |
| v3trae | ActionParsnip: been using gentoo and FreeBSD for servers for so long i don't even see much of apoint to gui's other then workstation use. | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | v3trae: i just like all minimal, my servers are all headless and x-less | 11:24 |
| csaba | ok | 11:24 |

| ActionParsnip | gorbierd: if you connect via ssh username@server can you then | 11:27 |
| gorbierd | yep | 11:27 |

| ActionParsnip | !sshfs | 11:27 |
| ubottu | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS | 11:27 |
| gorbierd | thanx | 11:28 |

| CyberBUNKER | hey thanks man, man pages | 11:28 |
| gorbierd | i understand it | 11:28 |
| v3trae | CyberBUNKER: man pages are the best way to learn, although yes, rather dull. | 11:28 |
| CyberBUNKER | Yeah I should have thought about it first anyway... does anyone know if 9.04 supports the VX3000 nativly anyway? an lsusb shows the device but there is no /dev/video | 11:31 |
| v3trae | Anyway i'm out for the night, thanks for the info there ActionParsnip. Have a fantastic evening. | 11:31 |

| CyberBUNKER | check cable? | 11:32 |
| CyberBUNKER | DHCP or static? | 11:32 |
| beli | kormanos: restart the network | 11:32 |
| beli | kormanos: /etc/rc.d/network restart | 11:33 |
| beli | kormanos: of cause...use sudo | 11:33 |
| thebe | how to set default security permissions in a file??? which is created within a folder with full permission for user and usergroup! | 11:33 |
| CyberBUNKER | So modprobe -t {directory of modules} should do it? | 11:34 |

| irmandos_mobile | hi guys i have removed the nvidia 6200 card from my system how can I reset my display to stop looking for it and just use onboard display? | 11:34 |
| Boohbah | beli: that might work on slackware, but init scripts in ubuntu are in /etc/init.d :) | 11:34 |

| thebe | could you give me with syntax | 11:36 |
| irmandos_mobile | help please? | 11:37 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos_mobile: Xorg -configure as root | 11:37 |
| ozzmosis | irmandos_mobile: that will create /root/xorg.conf.new | 11:38 |
| beli | thebe: umask is a shell internal...since you are using bash by default...read the bash manual | 11:38 |
| CyberBUNKER | hey beli, I am getting FATAL: -t only supported with -lpvpgn@pvpgn:/usr/src/modules/gspca$ | 11:38 |

| ozzmosis | Pixels: sudo cp ... | 11:39 |
| Cat_Killer | I've just installed ubuntu, and this is the first time I've managed to get it working, but I can;t figure out how to get the sound working. | 11:39 |
| Pixels | ozzmosis: ill try, brb | 11:39 |
| ozzmosis | Cat_Killer: what sound card do you have? | 11:39 |
| beli | thebe: umas does negative permissions....so 022 means all files get 755 perms......to make it a permanent setting for your shell you need to source it in your system profile or user profile for your shell.... | 11:40 |
| ozzmosis | Pixels: you'll need to fix the permissions after you copy the file .. with chown | 11:40 |
| Pixels | ozzmosis: is there an easier way? cause I need to know exct location etc | 11:40 |
| Cat_Killer | It's an SB something. I installed it about a year and a half ago, so i can;t quite remember. | 11:40 |
| Pixels | ozzmosis: any way using Nautilus? | 11:40 |
| Pixels | drag and drop? | 11:40 |
| Artilheiro | hello, can someone here help me configure my wireless network in ubuntu? the wireless driver is as follows: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02 | 11:40 |
| Pixels | ozzmosis: if I load Nautlius as sudo, will that work? | 11:40 |
| CyberBUNKER | Pixels: I have always just used "sudo nautilus" and then drag and dropped | 11:41 |
| ozzmosis | Pixels: possibly .. sounds a little dangerous though :) | 11:41 |
| Pixels | CyberBUNKER: awesome thats what I want | 11:41 |
| Pixels | ozzmosis: dangerous? | 11:41 |
| ozzmosis | Pixels: Alt+F2 .. gksudo nautilus | 11:41 |
| beli | Artilheiro: what ubuntu version? | 11:41 |
| ozzmosis | Pixels: well, not something I'd encourage people do often. too easy to drag the wrong file etc. | 11:41 |
| ozzmosis | Pixels: anyway, you'll still need to fix the permissions | 11:42 |
| ozzmosis | Pixels: you know you can use filename Tab completion on the command-line? | 11:42 |

| tbaxter | If I'm having spontaneous lock-ups on my laptop running Jaunty and am getting nothing from the logs and 15 passes with memtest86+ found no errors, what could be my next area to check on? | 11:46 |
| jtaji | tbaxter: intel wireless/video ? | 11:46 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, video driver? | 11:46 |
| tbaxter | how can I test it? | 11:47 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, first which video card lspci | grep -i vga | 11:47 |
| darlek | !ja | 11:47 |
| ubottu | 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 11:47 |
| ozzmosis | spontaneous lockups on a laptop would be fun .. can't exactly pull out bits and swap them over | 11:48 |
| tbaxter | ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series | 11:48 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, and do you know which driver you are using for that? | 11:48 |
| jtaji | tbaxter: how about: lspci | grep -i wireless | 11:49 |
| tbaxter | the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX one. | 11:49 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, I am not up on ati at alll but fglrx may be the issue have you found out if that card can run the open source driver? | 11:49 |
| tbaxter | Atheros AR928X Wireless Adapter | 11:49 |
| tbaxter | I think it can, but with no 3d | 11:50 |
| jtaji | tbaxter: I would start suspecting the video as coz_ suggested | 11:50 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, well I dont know if there are ati experts here but i do know that on #compiz the two people you can talk with are adamk and soreau | 11:50 |
| tbaxter | so disabling the proprietary driver should maybe fix it? | 11:50 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, in there I only do nvidia compiz support no ati here :) | 11:51 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, i would check with adamk in #compiz | 11:51 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, let me check if he is logged on hold on | 11:51 |
| tbaxter | thanks. | 11:51 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, he is but not sure if he is at his system since he does support from work | 11:51 |
| coz_ | tbaxter, check it out none the less let him know you are getting lock ups whihjc video card and which driver | 11:52 |
| tbaxter | cool. | 11:52 |

| Jack_Sparrow | oDuda You wont lose the windows boot, easy to fix should that happen anyhow. | 13:17 |
| Pici | kasuko: It uses libnotify. libnotify-bin has a notify-send executable in it for sending events 'manually' to the notification-daemon. | 13:17 |

| oDuda | thiebaud, JackSparrow : separating partitions just yet advanced to me... (newbie)... hehe | 13:25 |
| person2 | In the past, I've been unable to remove an application in synaptic because removing the metapackage wouldn't remove its dependencies. I've gathered that aptitude doesn't suffer from such a problem, but aptitude's not as easy. What should a newbie use? | 13:26 |
| oDuda | Jack_Sparrow : installation will ask me for changes in grub at 1st hd ? | 13:27 |
| oDuda | what your impressons about 9.04 version ? | 13:28 |
| mmm4m5m | kenyon: sweet and pretty terminal output: do-release-upgrade. Wondering where to stop, at 8.04, 8.10 or 9.04... | 13:28 |
| coz_ | oDuda, if you are reinstalling over top of the previous ubuntu disk no need to do anything but reinstall grub will be installed automatically and should pick up on the windows disk as well | 13:28 |
| coz_ | oDuda, i9.04 is fine | 13:29 |
| coz_ | oDuda, sorry 9.04 is fine :) | 13:29 |

| coz_ | oDuda, i assume you are going to use the 9.04 install disk correct? | 13:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oDuda YEs, you would use manual partitiong to set one of your ext3 or other linux partitions to mount as /home | 13:30 |

| Jack_Sparrow | oDuda ext4 may be faster, but since this is the first release of ext4 in ubutnu, I stuck with old reliable ext3 | 13:30 |
| oDuda | coz_ just downloading... ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso | 13:30 |
| Idhan | any advice for a tv-card? | 13:31 |
| tudonn | iv been using ext4 for months already | 13:31 |
| coz_ | oDuda, are you backing up any information from the previous ubuntu? | 13:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coz_ expand on your question, I dont understand it | 13:31 |
| ranf | !tv | Idhan | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Idhan: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 13:31 |
| oDuda | Jack_Sparrow - yes i avoid newers things not too deep tested :-) | 13:31 |
| coz_ | Jack_Sparrow, i was just curious about your last statement! oDuda YEs, you would use manual partitiong to set one of your ext3 or other linux partitions to mount as /home | 13:32 |
| tudonn | do midi keyboards work out of the box on ubuntu? or wich ones do | 13:32 |
| oDuda | coz_ not from ubuntu - but i cant lost windows data... | 13:32 |

| shadeslayer | hi strange problem,firefox works but not apt or synaptic...any ideas?? | 13:32 |

Could somebody please help me get my extended, or big, desktop? | 13:32 |
| coz_ | Jack_Sparrow, ok I think he is interested in just a default install over top of previous ubuntu I believe ") | 13:33 |
| eurythmia | (Additional info: using xinerama breaks everything) | 13:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coz_ Understood, but it makes sense to setup sep home while he is at it | 13:33 |
| FREESHELLS | I am offering FREE UNIX SHELLS for psyBNC or Eggdrop, anyone interested, contact me | 13:33 |
| coz_ | eurythmia, if no one can help here try #compiz | 13:33 |
| oDuda | coz_ yes but from ubuntu i dont have any important data... i just used it to tests and to apreciate the system... | 13:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eurythmia xinerama and compiz are not friends | 13:33 |
| coz_ | oDuda, ok then no worries :) | 13:33 |
| oDuda | coz_ thanks | 13:34 |
| eurythmia | Jack_Sparrow, then how do I disable compiz, if that, indeed, is the problem? | 13:34 |
| eurythmia | ... or, how do I find out if I'm even running compiz, because I don't think that I am. | 13:34 |
| shadeslayer | are the repos down or something? | 13:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eurythmia right click desktop , change wallpaper, last tab on wallpaper is visual effects | 13:34 |

| shadeslayer | Jack_Sparrow: 9.04 | 13:35 |

| etfb | Trying to write a bash script that will handle args like "foo -xf filename -yz foo bar baz" by treating -x, -y and -z as flags, -f as an option with an argument (filename), and foo, bar and baz as three remaining arguments. How do I do that? Any tutorials out there? | 13:35 |
| azeotrope | how do I add new programs I want to auto load when ubuntu boots (e.g. vidalia) | 13:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | etfb Please /join #bash | 13:35 |
| shadeslayer | Jack_Sparrow: i cant run apt via terminal or synaptic | 13:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptfix | 13:36 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 13:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !startup | 13:36 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 13:36 |
| etfb | Jack_Sparrow: It's a bit of a newbie question. Will it be welcome? | 13:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gosh I love our factoids | 13:36 |
| azeotrope | there is no sessions entry | 13:36 |
| eurythmia | Jack_Sparrow, agreed :) | 13:36 |
| shadeslayer | Jack_Sparrow: its not locked :| | 13:36 |
| azeotrope | nm i guess its "Startup Applications" now | 13:36 |
| azeotrope | somone should change that factoid, its out of date in 9.04 | 13:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | etfb That is why there is bash, just for those questions. | 13:36 |
| etfb | Jack_Sparrow: Cool; thanks. I'm there now... | 13:37 |
| eurythmia | Jack_Sparrow, can you think of any other good references offhand? I've been scouring google, but I only found one possible solution in the ubuntu forums, and it didn't work for me :/ | 13:37 |
| oDuda | Jack_Sparrow: im always curious about ubuntu and nvidia cards (video)... ubuntu has best performance if compared to windows drivers ? | 13:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eurythmia ati has a channel here somewhere | 13:37 |
| shadeslayer | Jack_Sparrow: any idea?? | 13:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !irc | 13:37 |
| ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 13:37 |
| eurythmia | Jack_Sparrow, kk, I'm on it, thanks. | 13:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shadeslayer Did you see the aptfix link | 13:37 |
| eurythmia | oDuda, the nvidia drivers under *nix are pretty mature and good .... never buy an ati card though ;) | 13:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oDuda All nvidia here as well | 13:38 |
| shadeslayer | Jack_Sparrow: as i said its noy locked....it says connecting to the repo and then times out | 13:38 |

| oDuda | eurythmia but about comparing windows and linux drivers.. what is the best performance ? | 13:38 |
| eurythmia | I don't have numbers, but google might. | 13:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oDuda Avoid comparisons in here, it leads to chaos | 13:39 |
| oDuda | hahahaha | 13:39 |
| eurythmia | oDuda, I suspect that they are comparable though. | 13:39 |

| oDuda | but you all are right ! even *nix has the same perfornance on a 8086 (remember?)... i will stay with it !... | 13:41 |

| freakynl | Decepticon: ssh runs fine with me... i just install, check openssh server, and can logon fine | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freakynl Right, it matters not if you added them or ran a script that added them, that is the source of the problem | 14:08 |
| Decepticon | i went to the terminal and did passwd , and changed it to something i know, and tried logging into ubuntu as ubuntu and the password i just made with passwd | 14:08 |
| Decepticon | it says access denied to me | 14:08 |
| hippo | winterelf: try alsamixer in a terminal | 14:08 |
| Decepticon | of course theres a ssh server there.... whos responding to my login request then | 14:09 |
| freakynl | Jack_Sparrow: that's a pretty firm conclusion w/o any troubleshooting whatsoever | 14:09 |
| Decepticon | it just keeps telling me off access denied even though im using the right password to ssh | 14:09 |

| dyf | Jack_Sparrow: already did | 14:10 |
| freakynl | Jack_Sparrow: machines freezing == kernel issues. not some apache/php package from some repository | 14:10 |

| mattsqz | try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 14:11 |
| Decepticon | so what the hell is this, ssh doesnt work by default | 14:11 |
| winterelf | hippo: alsamixer show everything at the maximum | 14:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freakynl It still can easily be something you added from an unsupported repo, please see #apache pr php or server channel | 14:11 |

| freakynl | Jack_Sparrow: user programs screwing up resulting in kernels issues still equals kernel issues :) | 14:12 |
| scales11 | i initially thought my problem was the gcc version, since i was able to compile it on ubuntu 7.04, which uses gcc 4.1, however i am not sure that is the problem | 14:12 |

| jrib | scales11: so basically you ignored both pieces of advice given to you... | 14:14 |
| Guest66317 | quick question, can anyone give me specific directions on getting into the recovery console? | 14:14 |
| mattsqz | likely because the "hard drive" in virtualbox is loaded into ram | 14:15 |

| scales11 | jrib: sorry i have tried so many things i am forgetting what you mentioned yesterday | 14:16 |
| jake_ | cadman21, should give you options, twin view etc, pick the one you want, then cntl alt and backspace | 14:16 |
| jrib | scales11: well I'm sure no one said to do what you did... and two alternatives were given | 14:16 |
| Guest66317 | i do that, but i get no option to actually go into a recovery mode, i just get brought to a menu that gives me options to clean extra space, and other things | 14:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest66317 there is no recovery on the livecd | 14:17 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Guest66317 the second option in the grub menu should be recovery mode | 14:18 |
| scales11 | i thought i tried that but i may have done it wrong | 14:18 |
| jrib | scales11: anyway, you need to give more context than what you have pastebinned for anyone to help you | 14:18 |
| Guest66317 | it prompts you to hit esc to enter the menu correct? | 14:18 |
| Guest66317 | cause that is where i am going | 14:18 |
| geirha | scales11: The part of the API the module uses has probably changed in recent kernels. Try to find a newer version of the module. | 14:19 |

| kentb | scales11, yes, but geirha is right...the module may not work with that specific kernel...also, installing multiple versions of gcc isn't always as simple as making a softlink to a different version: http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#multiple | 14:21 |

| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 14:38 |
| hippo | sudo passwd root | 14:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hippo Not appreciated | 14:38 |
| Xcell | ya hippo stop | 14:38 |
| hippo | Jack : pardon ? | 14:38 |
| tonyb486 | Hi | 14:38 |
| tonyb486 | How're you today, internet | 14:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot > hippo | 14:39 |
| ubottu | hippo, please see my private message | 14:39 |
| scales11 | jrib: here are all the steps i have taken http://pastebin.ca/1439502 | 14:39 |
| mattsqz | coffee and daft punk, now we're cookin with fire | 14:40 |
| merlin2049er | ok, i installed unrar-free | 14:40 |
| mattsqz | actually get something done for a change hehe | 14:40 |
| merlin2049er | that seemed to work | 14:40 |
| freakynl | sudo su - <- et voila, root shell | 14:40 |
| Boohbah | mattsqz: harder, better, faster, stronger! | 14:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freakynl We advise against that as well , use sudo -u or -i | 14:41 |
| Guest42447 | ok well the problem with using sudo commands is that right now i cant | 14:41 |
| jrib | Jack_Sparrow: -u? | 14:41 |
| jrib | Guest42447: why not? | 14:41 |
| Guest42447 | um, well i somehow changed a bunch of ownerships when trying to solve a different problem | 14:41 |
| jrib | Guest42447: elaborate on "somehow" | 14:41 |
| Guest42447 | and so when i type sudo, i get sudo: must be setuid root | 14:41 |
| winterelf | got a new problam though... i have inter x3100 graphic card , but.. when i plugg the VGA output to an outside sceeen it seems to look too big.. and the laptop screen is working too at the same time.. is there any software who specialize in this situation? | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jrib YEa, i know.. -i | 14:42 |
| hippo | Ok, I understand ... It's understable somehow ... But somehow hiding information is ... well ... as you wish. | 14:42 |
| Boohbah | Guest42447: yeah, the sudo binary should be setuid root | 14:42 |
| Demonicdata | uh am i reading this right,it says i have 9.5 gig swap file?is that normal? | 14:42 |
| Guest42447 | so how do i change it back | 14:42 |
| Boohbah | Guest42447: you could boot from livecd and try to fix that, but if you've messed up too many permissions it may be easier to reinstall | 14:42 |
| Demonicdata | what worse is i'm using 0% of it as i have 4 gigs of ram. | 14:43 |
| Promille | Wow, i gotta say im dissapointed in amarok 2 instead of the original. I have to specify 'padsp amarok' to play any music. .cue files seems not to be supported anymore and i cant even find the shuffle button.. | 14:43 |
| jrib | scales11: are the â in your paste an issue with pastebin? | 14:43 |
| Guest42447 | i think that may be the better option | 14:43 |
| Promille | anyone have suggestions | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hippo We are not hiding anything, just showing people the best way to use ubuntu. | 14:43 |
| Boohbah | Guest42447: and a lesson for the future, be careful with chmod and chown, especially recursively :) | 14:43 |
| Demonicdata | how can i check and see for sure if i have a swap file and partitions | 14:43 |
| Guest42447 | seriously! | 14:43 |
| scales11 | jrib: no i am using putty from an xp machine | 14:43 |
| scales11 | jrib: they are from that, i dunno why it sticks them in there | 14:43 |
| Guest42447 | i try booting from a live cd, but i never get anywhere | 14:43 |
| jrib | hippo: don't hide information, that's the whole point. Inform users of sudo | 14:43 |
| jayadeva | I am new to ubuntu. I have some problems. can any of you coming forward to help me out? | 14:44 |
| jrib | !ask | jayadeva | 14:44 |
| ubottu | jayadeva: 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. :-) | 14:44 |
| hippo | Jack: Ok. I'm sorry. | 14:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest42447 To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash use the noapic acpi=off options before the "--" | 14:44 |
| geirha | Guest42447: Booting into recovery mode and running "chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo" should fix that particual problem, but you've likely messed up other programs as well | 14:44 |
| Promille | jayadeva: what is you problem? | 14:44 |
| barney-stinston | hii | 14:44 |
| Guest42447 | yea i definitely have | 14:44 |
| barney-stinston | does anyone here know how i can download msn properly on ubuntu? | 14:44 |
| hippo | BTW, are you guys aware of that sudo/gconf bug with some programs (like gnome-terminal) ? | 14:44 |
| Guest42447 | i just cant get into recovery mode, but i'll try what jack just said | 14:44 |
| jayadeva | My sound card is not enabled. But when I log out to switch user I am able to hear the Music of Tabla. | 14:45 |

| winterelf | ** anyone knows how to configure an external screen to the vga output from the laptop? | 14:45 |
| Demonicdata | whats the command to see how my disk is partitions lsdev or something i forget its been awhile | 14:45 |
| hippo | you have to use su-to-root instead of sudo. | 14:45 |
| Boohbah | mattsqz: be careful, don't overdo it :) | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | winterelf Not all laptops support dual | 14:46 |
| Guest42447 | thanks for the help jack, i am going to try and do that now, i will likely be back as a guest in a few minutes | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Demonicdata sudo fdisk -l | 14:46 |
| mattsqz | boohbah: we shall see, we shall see ;) | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest42447 One sec | 14:46 |
| Guest42447 | yes? | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest42447 If you get a blank screen, try ctrl-alt-F2 and see if you get a terminal | 14:47 |
| Guest42447 | ok | 14:47 |
| jayadeva | I am not able to play the sound in Ubuntu. Can anybody help me? | 14:47 |
| Guest42447 | ill come back and let you know how it went | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest42447 That will be an indicator that the video detection went wrong | 14:47 |
| winterelf | Jack_Sparrow: in windows i can use my external 22" screen by pluggin it to the VGA plugg in my laptop... but here when i plugg what should i do next? i have intel x3100 | 14:47 |

| mattsqz | oh you're no fun. | 14:49 |
| sipior | Demonicdata: if you've got the space, consider having another partition for use as /home. upgrades and the like will be much more straightforward. | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Demonicdata It will use ram and should not be hitting swap often. | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Demonicdata yes, sep home | 14:50 |
| Demonicdata | Yeah i got 250 gig drive,I see now though that you can get a friggin 1 terrabyte drive for 100% at bestbuy,i mean wtf 1 terrabyte?thats insane! | 14:50 |

| SpaceBass | freakynl: in that case this could be 6 ... doesnt matter at this point b/c I cannot do anything with it but desktop search | 14:59 |
| jrib | SpaceBass: I had a similar issue with my mx revolution. I don't remember too well the details (as they changed between releases) and I'm not booted into ubuntu right now to check. But, I'll tell you what lies in my ~/.xmodmaprc: keycode 225 = XF86Launch0 , and then in xbindkeys I bind to XF86Launch0 | 14:59 |
| ubuntu | cze | 14:59 |

| gbjk | Hi. I have a Thinkpad T60 next to me. I upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04. This caused screen hangs, after a downgrade of the xorg-video-driver. | 15:00 |
| SpaceBass | jrib: that sounds right - any idea where that binding is? don't see it in xorg.conf | 15:00 |
| gbjk | Without finding a solution I went for a 8.10 reinstall. | 15:00 |
| SpaceBass | and frankly I'd hoped the days of having to edit xorg.conf to get a mouse to were were behind us (sorry had to rant) | 15:00 |
| jrib | SpaceBass: no, but if you override it like I did, it will go away | 15:00 |
| gbjk | I did this without formatting the drive. | 15:00 |
| SpaceBass | jrib: how did you do the override ? | 15:00 |
| gbjk | On boot, the laptop doesn't show a login screen. | 15:00 |
| gbjk | Xorg.0.log suggests several points of failure. | 15:01 |
| jrib | SpaceBass: with xmodmap... do you understand? | 15:01 |
| sipior | gbjk: without formatting the drive? hmm...that could cause no end of excitement. do you not have a separate /home? | 15:01 |

| Flynsarmy | How do you stop the screen jumping to new window location with compiz's Zoom Desktop when you Alt+Tab? | 15:02 |
| gbjk | sipior: I then went and did the same thing again with the new install, actually, forgetting to create a second partition (though I didn't fancy dynamic resizing) | 15:02 |
| SpaceBass | jrib: been a while since I touched xmodmap, but I think so... don't I need to determine the interupt that this button is sending? | 15:03 |
| sipior | gbjk: simplest to backup your data, do the reinstall, and then restore, i think. | 15:03 |
| gbjk | sipior: However xubuntu install *did* warn that it would blow away /var/, /lib/, /etc/ etc. | 15:03 |

| scampbell | Dunge: /usr/local/lib is not in the library load path by default. You can either alter your make to include the library path or put it in the system library path thus: echo '/usr/local/lib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf; ldconfig | 15:34 |

| geirha | hipitihop: All users must have the same uid | 16:47 |

| hipitihop | sipior: sure. still a fair bit of work and a little error prone after all I know enough to be dangerous :-) | 17:07 |
| sipior | hipitihop: just be sure to have a rescue cd to hand in case you lock yourself out of the system | 17:08 |

| ohyouknow1987 | does anyone know how to network ubuntu on a domain and create a home folder | 17:08 |
| Madbuntu | !firestarter | 17:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 17:08 |
| velcroshooz | does anyone have a Radeon HD 3100/3200 running fine with hdmi out? under 8.10 or 9.04? with ubuntu drivers or catalyst? | 17:08 |

| ubottu | ohyouknow1987: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 17:12 |
| aa3b | I just arrived | 17:12 |
| dakarn | mathijis175: what do you mean 'they didn't work' | 17:13 |
| sipior | hipitihop: it's worth it if you find yourself logging into other machines often. ldap can be annoying to set up, and becomes a central point of failure in your network (if the ldap server is down, no one can log in). i use it, but it's a matter of taste, and how tightly you want your network machines to be interconnected. you can probably get by with a simple script to push /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to the other machines. password changes are awkward t | 17:13 |
| mathijs175 | i cant install ubuntu with them, they both stop the installation | 17:13 |
| ohyouknow1987 | pici: sorry | 17:13 |
| dakarn | you receive an error? | 17:14 |

| hipitihop | sipior: thanks for all the tips. I'm surprised it is not easier to setup single sign on and have users home drives available across the network. | 17:15 |
| sipior | hipitihop: it's easy to set up if you're setting up the network all at once. trying to tie together a number of machines that have been "growing organically" for a while tends to be trickier. | 17:16 |

| mib_7nxfhl | is remote access enabled by default on ubuntu 9.04? | 17:21 |

| mib_7nxfhl | yes hipitihop im at work and i want to control it remotely | 17:22 |
| hipitihop | mib_7nxfhl: ssh is not enabled by default. however can easily enable by installing the openssh server. be aware of security issues with ssh | 17:23 |

| ghoulsblade | hi all, i'm just trying to switch over from kde to gnome, i'm using a few small dockapps for displaying net-traffic,top processes etc, in gome they have a much too big border, is there a way to get around that problem without using different dockapps ? | 17:24 |
| hipitihop | mib_7nxfhl: I assume you have a router at home so you'd also have to make sure it allows you in | 17:24 |
| mib_7nxfhl | i do not, it is a 3G modem | 17:24 |
| hipitihop | mib_7nxfhl: it is still likely to hav a firewall and if not, then your machine. anyway sounds like you know enough to get past those issues too | 17:26 |
| berot3 | does any1 know if its possible to install that cool jaunty-libnotify-osd on other distros too? like fedora or gentoo? | 17:26 |
| mib_7nxfhl | hipitihop: i dont have firewall enabled on my machine. | 17:26 |
| bastid_raZor | mib_7nxfhl, most residential isp's block ports 22,23,80 so having ssh listen to another port is required | 17:26 |
| mib_7nxfhl | and yeah i could forward ports etc | 17:27 |

| qdb | i have then unarchived it with winrar in win xp and it unarchived it as one byte encoding. | 17:29 |
| dakarn | is this a new hd? | 17:29 |
| mathijs175 | it is an older one, only 20 gyg | 17:30 |

| zer0rez | is there an alternative gmail notifier? | 17:30 |
| hipitihop | mib_7nxfhl: sounds scary, I'd recommend configuring your firewall or something like firestarter or whatever is the norm on ubuntu for easy admin to lock you machine down as much as possible. | 17:30 |
| qdb | even if it does not say, winrar would ask me | 17:30 |

The Intel AHCI driver would not support running 8.10 in enhanced mode, so the only way I had to run 8.10 meant turning a setting in my bios from enhanced to compatible mode and that would have meant reinstalling Vista from scratch, so I passed on that.

| ZykoticK9 | Joeseph, if you see wireless in that file i think that's why it's "not managed" in network manager - i'd back the file up and try removing the wireless stuff - then reboot and see if NM then picks it up. | 17:52 |

| Quagmire | Spec, sorry I missed your reply. I'm not posotive, but I think its just simply an Intel AHCI driver that is the issue. I was told a while back I figured I would wait until 9.04 showed and then look to see if it had been added, but I'm not sure where to look for it. | 17:57 |

| nibbler | geirha: his filenames look clean! :D | 17:58 |
| Joeseph | mmm4m5m: Which Nvidia device? | 17:58 |
| oshua86 | pmratpoison, i use rar -e | 17:58 |
| mmm4m5m | Joeseph: 9600 graphic card (not sure about all details) | 17:59 |
| aa3b | pmratpoison: unrar x <part1> should work. where <part1> is the filename for the first part. The rest of the parts will be picked up automatically | 17:59 |
| pmratpoison | oshua86: what is e option? | 17:59 |
| geirha | nibbler: But using an external command to do something the shell has built-in is a bit of a waste | 17:59 |

| ZykoticK9 | pmratpoison, do man pages for "do" or "for", search google for bash for loop or something similar | 18:02 |

| pmratpoison | ZykoticK9: yeah, just realised | 18:02 |
| eurythmia | alfacat, I suspect that some of the newer nvidia cards are best. Intel is good, but it's somewhat behind at the moment because the rendering engine is being switched over to UXA which may lead to stability issues ... stay as far away from ATI as you can. | 18:02 |

| mmm4m5m | eurythmia: I have nvidia drivers here and usually I need to manually run and rebuild modules (after update linux headers). This is what I did with ubuntu 7.10. This time it say "failed" but after reboot (second reboot after upGrage) it start working. | 18:03 |
| eurythmia | alfacat, this is all pretty generic advice, but I'm a generic kind of guy. Hope I've helped a bit. | 18:03 |
| pmratpoison | yay!!!! thnx for the info, I think I got it now | 18:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | BiosElement, there is a "run in console" option | 18:03 |
| mmm4m5m | eurythmia: will check that program.. just not sure if it is ok now | 18:03 |

| eurythmia | mmm4m5m, jockey takes care of the configuration. | 18:04 |
| nibbler | l3ns: hmm ok... i dont want to advise you on this, dont want to be responsible if you lose anything :) anyway, you should have backups of all relevant data... | 18:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | BiosElement, actually perhaps that isn't an option anymore :( you could use something like "xterm -e <command>" type thing | 18:04 |
| BiosElement | ZykoticK9, Aight. | 18:05 |
| nibbler | l3ns: hardisks go broke without warning | 18:05 |
| eurythmia | alfacat, well, the Intel and newer nvidia cards have good 3d support. If you're going for high performance, you'd probably best stick with nvidia. | 18:05 |
| aa3b | BiosElement: you'll need to launch the terminal program before tt++. something like "xterm tt++" should work. what terminal program are we using anyway? | 18:05 |
| mmm4m5m | eurythmia: ok then... I was thinking like ubuntu driver is there that is why nvidia rebuild failed, etc,etc. Anyway. Thank you!! | 18:05 |

| eurythmia | jf, two things: first)glxgears is NOT a benchmarking tool. second) fglrx is kind of buggy (understatement of the year), especially under jaunty, and don't even think about dual head.

| spudCakePie | anybody using 9.04 on a dell laptop? what worked and what didnt work? | 18:36 |
| geirha | alienkid10, Titan8990: mkisofs has recently changed name to genisoimage. So "man genisoimage" | 18:36 |
| Titan8990 | ksbalaji, also believe there is an entire python lib for things such as that | 18:36 |
| Myrtti | spudCakePie: pc speaker doesn't work :-) | 18:36 |
| darlek | ksbalaji: actually using google can to this with the word 'to' between the conversions. km/h to mph etc | 18:36 |
| Titan8990 | geirha, ah, i thought that was gentoo specific.... mine was already symlinked | 18:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | spudCakePie, support will depend on the Dell Model - they don't all have the same hardware | 18:36 |
| ksbalaji | ZykoticK9, Titan8990 thanks but any applications like calculator? | 18:36 |
| spudCakePie | Myrtti: thats a good thing, it means i dont have to open the laptop and unsolder it from the mobo. anything else? | 18:36 |
| alienkid10 | geirha so run this command but mkisofs to genisoimage? | 18:36 |

| ZykoticK9 | alsuren, um not a bad idea - but it's certainly going to cause some issues - the /dev/sdX are only going to show up when the drive is present! you wouldn't be able to use your SD slot for anything else - and you'd always need the /usr SD card in the slot... | 19:09 |

| alsuren | ZykoticK9: that's completely fine. I don't have more than one SD card | 19:14 |
| tank-man | alsuren, find out the kernel modules needed to use the sd slot and make an initrd.img with those so you can mount the sd card at bootup | 19:14 |

| oDuda | badcat i have some... | 19:24 |
| Jamed | !best | badcat | 19:24 |
| ubottu | badcat: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:24 |

| alsuren | tank-man: actually, maybe I'll just resign myself to the fact that restarting is the only solution if the SD card isn't in at boot time | 19:26 |

| ghoulsblade | is there some advanced way to edit more program config stuff that is usually hidden ? some regedit like thingy or something ? some option dialogs in gnome seem rather restrictive =( | 20:13 |
| jdu | ghoulsblade, gconf-editor | 20:13 |
| ghoulsblade | jdu, ah thanks, i'll take a look at that =D | 20:13 |
| erUSUL | ghoulsblade: gnomwe has gconf | 20:14 |
| erUSUL | ghoulsblade: use gconf-editor | 20:14 |
| pace_t_zulu | anyone know how to export a list of podcasts from banshee? | 20:14 |
| jdu | ghoulsblade, gnome generally provides less easy configuration in an effort to be simple | 20:15 |
| ghoulsblade | (unrelated to gconf) , under system menu > preferences > the sound thing doesn't start for me, it doesn't display an error either | 20:15 |
| Dunge | erUSUL : as I though, it don't works... vesafb is loading in the kernel modules but still no /dev/fb* | 20:15 |
| erUSUL | Dunge: then i dunno sorry :| | 20:16 |
| erUSUL | Dunge: what graphic card does vmware emulates ? | 20:16 |
| ghoulsblade | jdu, yeah, but i want to change a few things so i'm comfortable using it. i hope it's simple and yet configurable enough if i dig deep enough for config stuff. | 20:16 |
| dakarn | mathijs: did you do a md5 chksum on the iso before burning it? | 20:16 |
| mathijs175 | yes dakam | 20:17 |
| tecky | trying to figure out why my BCM4328 is getting seen in Ubuntu as a "USB Mouse" ? | 20:17 |
| Shortguy109 | does anyone know why when i plug the USB to record my guitar i can't chose the USB in pulseaudio device chooser? | 20:18 |
| dakarn | it could be an error in the RAM, you could run memtest off the live cd | 20:19 |
| Dunge | erUSUL : don't know | 20:19 |
| dakarn | or it could be an error in the live cd, try burning it again at the slowest setting | 20:19 |
| mathijs175 | already burned 4 on the lowest speed(8x), gonna do the ram check then | 20:19 |
| annika | erUSUL: thx for your help. I dont understand what do you want to tell me ;) | 20:20 |
| Orange_v_Blue | Can I make those gray notifications go away permanently for pidgin, etc? I only want them for new system messages | 20:20 |
| mib_00zfwwz0 | why is it that under gnome-do preferences i dont have any plugins even when i refresh? | 20:20 |
| dakarn | how many ram modules are you using | 20:20 |
| danielrmt | Orange_v_Blue: disable the pidgin notifications | 20:20 |
| kastner | update-notifier-core / update-motd - should that show "0 packages can be updated" in motd or nothing in motd? | 20:21 |
| mathijs175 | im using 3 modules atm | 20:21 |
| dakarn | sizes? | 20:21 |
| Lopan` | Can someone help me with the ubuntu kernel with regards to ipblocker please | 20:21 |
| Orange_v_Blue | danielrmt: They are. These are coming through somewhere else, from pidgin. I'm not sure | 20:21 |
| danielrmt | look under pidgin plugins. there's a notification plugin i guess | 20:21 |
| bizhat | can some one answer -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1173315 | 20:22 |
| erUSUL | Lopan`: ipblocker | 20:22 |
| erUSUL | ? | 20:22 |
| annika | erUSUL: Without the Dbus session i read from the file gconftool won't change anything for the user $SUDO_USER which is the person who is calling the script (with sudo) | 20:22 |
| mathijs175 | im not shure, but i believe there is 1 265 mb and the other 2 are 128 mb. all sd ram(old ram) | 20:22 |
| mib_00zfwwz0 | why is it that under gnome-do preferences i dont have any plugins even when i refresh? | 20:22 |
| dakarn | i'd suggest installing with 1 ram module | 20:23 |
| Orange_v_Blue | danielrmt: never would have thought of a plugin, thanks! | 20:23 |
| dakarn | and see how that works for you | 20:23 |
| Lopan` | erusul: hey, i am installing ipblocker and am meeting all of the outlined criteria but it says the kernel must have "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE" enabled. I dont know how to do it | 20:23 |
| erUSUL | annika: but the second argument to sudo should be a VAR=something not just something; or am i mistaken ? | 20:23 |
| mathijs175 | going to try then(again, 10th time today :P ) | 20:23 |
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know why i can't choose the USB in pulseaudio device chooser? I wanna record my guitar into the laptop using audacity | 20:23 |
| dakarn | well it could be faulty cd disk or drive, or faulty hd or ram modules | 20:24 |
| Orange_v_Blue | Anyone use touchfreeze? | 20:24 |
| mathijs175 | could be, brb =] | 20:24 |
| erUSUL | Lopan`: grep CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE /boot/config-2.6.28-12-generic --> CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE=m ||| so it is enabled on the ubuntu kernel. you do not have to do anything | 20:24 |

| DanDan | hello I do have a very stupid Q ... lol .. whats the command for reinstalling a package ? lol | 20:25 |
| Lopan` | erUSUL: thank you very much, new to this obviously. have a great weekend man | 20:25 |
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know why i can't choose the USB in pulseaudio device chooser? I wanna record my guitar into the laptop using audacity | 20:25 |
| danielrmt | DanDan: sudo apt-get reinstall | 20:25 |
| DanDan | danielrmt : its gives me that its an invalid process :S | 20:26 |
| danielrmt | DanDan: sudo aptitude reinstall | 20:26 |
| dakarn | shortguy: usb mode settings | 20:26 |
| danielrmt | DanDan: apt-get has no reinstall, sorry | 20:26 |
| annika | erUSUL: the Syntax is: sudo -u <username in which name the command will be executed> command | 20:26 |
| Shortguy109 | dakarn, where's that at? :o | 20:26 |
| Pici | danielrmt: sudo apt-get install --reinstall | 20:26 |
| dakarn | !usb mode | 20:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usb mode | 20:26 |
| danielrmt | Pici: thx | 20:26 |
| Dunedan | danielrmt: Well, that's no answer to my question. I'm aware that gutsy reached it's eol, but maybe there still a mirror online? | 20:26 |
| DanDan | danielrmt : thanxx !!! | 20:27 |
| dakarn | meh, you'll have to change the usb mode with the guitar connected via command line | 20:27 |
| Orange_v_Blue | Does anyone have a good program for not accidentally hittting the touchpad while typing? I know it's silly, or fixed with a real mouse, but I spend a lot of time on the move and that isn't feasible. Touchfreeze slightly sucks for me. | 20:27 |
| dakarn | also select it as a recording device | 20:27 |
| Shortguy109 | dakarn, okay i'll try that thanks | 20:27 |
| m4rk | Orange_v_Blue: have you tried holding your wrists off the keyboard? | 20:27 |
| Shortguy109 | dakarn, do i type !usb mode into the terminal? whenever i've it in? | 20:28 |
| mib_00zfwwz0 | why is it that under gnome-do preferences i dont have any plugins even when i rwefresh? | 20:28 |

| pace_t_zulu | anyone know how to export a list of podcasts from banshee? | 20:28 |
| Orange_v_Blue | m4rk: thanks, but that doesn't really help too much. the touchpad is very far to the left... it's inevitable. Also, painful to keep them in midair all the time. | 20:28 |
| m4rk | Orange_v_Blue: what sort of computer is it? | 20:29 |

| Flannel | linuxghost: First you need to get it out of the second partition, by moving the second partition to the right. | 21:12 |

| Jaunty2 | ubuntu to OSX leoprad.tar.gz | 21:18 |
| Jaunty2 | also tried ubuntu glossy orange, Aviod-GDM-0.92 and amber AWn | 21:18 |
| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: ok, close all the printer windows, then go to system -> admin -> printers. you should see a window with an icon for your printer | 21:18 |
| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: you should be able to right click that icon | 21:19 |
| dakarn | buzz is just a white noise, now trim it to a frequency and BAM :) | 21:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jaunty2, your trying at least 3 different "types" of themes there - they are each installed in different ways | 21:19 |
| pockets_ | hi, when im in gnome, i click on places and i see all the local drives | 21:19 |

| Jaunty2 | Oh, how could I install properly the first 1? the mac one | 21:20 |
| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu or what? | 21:20 |
| FuriousGeorge | sorry, kubuntu | 21:20 |
| maccam94 | ooooooooooooh | 21:20 |
| maccam94 | lol | 21:20 |
| Lyth | What does a DAC blocked error mean? | 21:21 |
| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: one sec, let me see if i can find a screenshot of the kubuntu printer dialog box ;-) | 21:21 |
| dakarn | anyone know how to query the ppp connection log to see if i'm connected GPRS or UMTS? | 21:21 |
| FuriousGeorge | maccam94: there is a tab at the bottom that says properties. when you select a printer at the top then you can go to the properties tab | 21:22 |
| crawler | Jaunty2: do you have a link for that? | 21:22 |
| nocturnoceep | ciao | 21:22 |

| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: is there an option to download a driver? | 21:23 |
| nocturnoceep | sono nuovo | 21:23 |
| del_diablo | Well | 21:23 |
| FuriousGeorge | maccam94: i dunno, it seems to be working with the foomatic driver for the 7130, it only needs to work till monday... maybe ill see how this goes | 21:23 |
| nocturnoceep | ciao | 21:23 |
| del_diablo | does the one shipped of default work? | 21:23 |
| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: k, sorry for the confusion | 21:23 |
| FuriousGeorge | maccam94: no otpion to download, but i can manually download one and try to open it | 21:24 |
| dakarn | erUSUL: is there a way to query the connection? because it doesn't show me the connection type | 21:24 |
| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: no that wouldn't work ;-) the point of doing it in the app is that it would then install and use that driver | 21:24 |
| erUSUL | dakarn: i dunno sorry | 21:24 |
| pockets_ | please, how can i see local drives on "places" when using xfce | 21:24 |
| FuriousGeorge | maccam94: thanks for your help. lemme see how this goes | 21:25 |

| Lyth | How can this be fixed | 21:25 |
| maccam94 | FuriousGeorge: good luck | 21:25 |
| Jaunty2 | yeh i just tried it and failed at first step | 21:25 |
| darlek | pockets: you might try #xubuntu since xfce is the default window manager there. I don't know xfce enough myself | 21:26 |

| chris__ | Wow | 21:26 |

| Silver_Swords | anybodu knows how to mount braseros .toc and .bin files? | 21:27 |
| del_diablo | MeanGuy: You mean tray or? | 21:27 |
| Lyth | Dakarn: By using PD i've confirmed that my device is properly connected and functional. However it seems that no other software can detect it. | 21:27 |
| erUSUL | Silver_Swords: convert it to iso | 21:27 |
| MeanGuy | del_diablo, yeah. the one that looks like a letter with a star whenever i get a pidgin msg | 21:27 |
| erUSUL | !iso | Silver_Swords | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Silver_Swords: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:28 |
| Edgar1 | i have a problem with flash objects, i can't listen anysound and anymusic from youtube for example, what can i do to fix it? | 21:28 |
| MeanGuy | DanDan, did u try installing it manually? downloading the .deb package from flash? | 21:28 |
| scales11 | anyone know of a free cad app for linux? | 21:28 |
| erUSUL | !info qcad | 21:28 |

| DanDan | MeanGuy : .. will that remove the old one installed !!? | 21:28 |
| del_diablo | MeanGuy, what about rightclicking on the pidgin icon and se if someting similar to "blink upon new messages" is checked? | 21:28 |
| Brandano | good evening. Quick "good practices" question. what is the "proper" place to keep sources and accessory files of applications you compile yourself? All userspace stuff, I think it's better to keep it off system directories... | 21:28 |
| harpreet_ | DanDan: sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree | 21:28 |
| ikonia | harpreet_: it's flashplugin-nonfree and he said he already had it | 21:29 |
| MeanGuy | DanDan, dunno. try --fore removing it or something | 21:29 |
| MeanGuy | del_diablo, one sec. | 21:29 |
| del_diablo | a nice thing: sudo apt-get install iat | 21:29 |
| del_diablo | its used for converting formats, like .bin ---> .iso as an example. | 21:29 |
| DanDan | harpreet_ package isnt there .. its nly flashplugin | 21:29 |
| harpreet_ | ikonia: DanDan : then he has to remove swfdec from synaptic | 21:29 |
| DanDan | MeanGuy : tried it .. nothing works | 21:29 |
| ikonia | that won't change anything as the actual flash library is not really controled by the package manager | 21:30 |
| harpreet_ | DanDan: enable your multiverse and universe repositories first | 21:30 |
| Lyth | I've installed a new audio device(line tuneport gx via the line6usb kernel module drivers). None of my programs except pd(which converts that it is working properly) will detect it. | 21:30 |
| DanDan | ikonia : .. I'm a SHE lol not He | 21:30 |
| scales11 | erUSUL: i guess i kinda was hoping for a 3d cad program | 21:30 |
| dakarn | he needs to enable his restricted drivers too | 21:30 |
| DanDan | harpreet : Im a SHE not He .. plus its all enabled ! | 21:30 |
| maccam94 | DanDan: do you have the deb file for flash that you want to install? | 21:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | Brandano, that's what /usr/local and /opt directories where designed to house - local specific programs etc. | 21:30 |
| harpreet_ | DanDan: sorry for that do this | 21:30 |
| harpreet_ | DanDan: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 21:31 |
| erUSUL | scales11: google a bit and compare options | 21:31 |
| del_diablo | Brandano, i would either just keep it in ~/, or i would make a new map called sources and then spew every single source into there. Or i would mark the compiled maps as . before their name(so its hidden) | 21:31 |
| harpreet_ | DanDan: sudo sed -i -e "s/# deb/deb/g" /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update | 21:31 |
| dakarn | lyth: under alsamixer does it show the device? | 21:31 |
| DanDan | ok now im confused too many ppl have asked me to do stuff .. who shall i follow 1st ? | 21:31 |
| Lyth | yup | 21:31 |
| Brandano | ZykoticK9: so something like /usr/local/dev or opt/dev would do? Right now I keep stuff in ~/dev | 21:31 |
| maccam94 | lol | 21:31 |
| Silver_Swords | ubottu: that link wont open. | 21:31 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:31 |

| Brandano | ZykoticK9: k, thanks. I was wondering if there was some sort of unspoken standard | 21:33 |

| ZykoticK9 | Silver_Swords, i'd check out bin2iso, but FYI i have had little or no success with that conversion - was this a regular data CD? or something else - as ISO doesn't allow for all types of CD images. | 21:37 |
| linuxghost | gparted | 21:37 |

| xp-killer | hello i upgrade to kubuntu 9.04 but since my 16:3 screen saying upsoportive signal.change the pc output.i only got picture on my old 4:3 screen.how can i fix this? | 21:38 |
| linuxghost | yes thomrenault | 21:39 |
| Silver_Swords | Slart: i dont know.. it's just ticken me off. | 21:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | xp-killer, change the resolution in Ubuntu to something widescreen | 21:39 |
| thomrenault | linuxghost do you have the disc you used to install ubuntu? | 21:39 |
| crawler | scales11: found this: http://projects.blender.org/projects/blendercad/ | 21:39 |

| linuxghost | thomrenault: yes i have it but it cant load as live cd | 21:40 |
| Slart | Silver_Swords: why not convert it to an iso.. bchunk will do that.. linux has never been good with mounting the billions binary image formats out there | 21:40 |
| nightdrever | well its just somrthing has got access to my hotmail account since using linux.......and is sending junk mail from my account | 21:40 |
| thomrenault | linuxghost do you know why it's not letting you use it as a live cd? | 21:40 |
| ikonia | nightdrever: I doubt that's anything to do with linux | 21:40 |
| linuxghost | maybe i need to upgrade my ubuntu | 21:40 |
| commonSP | list | 21:41 |
| nightdrever | well what has it got to do with? | 21:41 |
| emperor | DanDan: you can go to synaptic and check if you have swfdec installed, remove all packages of that name | 21:41 |
| Silver_Swords | i tried bchunk and bin2iso and others i cant remember.. none know what a .toc and .bin is. | 21:41 |
| linuxghost | i dnt know | 21:41 |
| thomrenault | linuxghost did you check the disc for errors, there an option that will let you do that before you boot | 21:41 |
| nightdrever | ive never handed my password out to anyone | 21:41 |

| DanDan | emperor .. :( .. E: flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 21:44 |
| emperor | DanDan: you can go to synaptic and check if you have swfdec installed, remove all packages of that name | 21:44 |

| freenode1 | is there a way to install 32bit software on ubuntu 9.04 64bit???? | 21:46 |
| JohnnyVbox | hey guys | 21:46 |
| JohnnyVbox | how to check x.org version:? | 21:46 |
| JohnnyVbox | please | 21:46 |
| MacTuts | hi i have a general linux question | 21:46 |
| ikonia | freenode1: there is but it depends on the software, and how multilib it is | 21:46 |
| DanDan | emperor : flashplugin u mean ? .. in synaptic ? .. I cant click on it i can only click on remove or comp remove | 21:46 |
| ikonia | JohnnyVbox: dpkg -l | grep X - or xorg -version | 21:46 |
| JohnnyVbox | [ikonia]: thanks | 21:46 |
| MacTuts | can KDE apps work in GNOME | 21:46 |
| campee | does anyone know why ubuntu's VNC client is so slow when I connect to my ubuntu machine at home? it's unbearably slow when using vncviewer or remote desktop viewer. using a windows xp vnc client (real vnc) in the same remote location works extremely fast, so it's not a bandwidth issue. | 21:46 |
| ikonia | MacTuts: yup | 21:46 |
| lstarnes | MacTuts: yes | 21:46 |
| del_diablo | JohnnyVbox, Ubuntu 9.04 = 1.6 | 21:46 |
| ikonia | MacTuts: you have to install the graphical tool kit - but it works fine | 21:47 |
| emperor | DanDan: swfdec is the package that runs flash | 21:47 |
| freenode1 | i would like to install dexrex....a pidgin plugins | 21:47 |
| Silver_Swords | ok... thanx all for help. =) | 21:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | JohnnyVbox, or "X -version" in cli | 21:47 |
| codyxx | Okay, I have a question | 21:47 |
| MacTuts | ok thanks so there is no drawback to running a KDE app? | 21:47 |
| JohnnyVbox | [del_diablo]: ok, thanks | 21:47 |
| JohnnyVbox | thanks people | 21:47 |
| DanDan | emperor : even on that I cant mark for reinstalling | 21:47 |
| ikonia | freenode1: that may respond differently due to it being a plugin, I'd expect the plugin to possibly not be arch dependant | 21:47 |
| codyxx | I am about to format my drive, but I want to backup my Ubuntu installation exactly. (Programs, GUI config, fonts, etc.) | 21:47 |
| codyxx | How would I do this? | 21:47 |
| MacTuts | because im in ubuntu 9.04 and Konversation seems to work fine | 21:47 |
| campee | anyone? :( | 21:47 |
| ikonia | campee: anyone what ? | 21:47 |
| codyxx | Can I just copy my partition to my external then reload it formatting | 21:47 |
| freenode1 | is a plugin but is a program | 21:47 |
| freenode1 | is a deb and is only for i386 | 21:48 |
| MacTuts | ok thank you everyone! | 21:48 |
| MacTuts | bye | 21:48 |
| campee | an answer to my question.. or some thoughts =) | 21:48 |
| del_diablo | codyxx, you can do that with atleast your home partition | 21:48 |
| emperor | DanDan: sudo apt-get autoremove swfdec | 21:48 |
| === administrator is now known as No_CQRT | ||
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know why i only get static sound whenever i try to record my guitar in Jack Audio Connection Kit? | 21:48 |
| ikonia | freenode1: pidgin is 64 bit, so I don't think it will take a 32bit library, if it's not a library I think it will be fine | 21:48 |
| flintwingel | MacTuts: running a KDE based app under GNOME will use more memory | 21:48 |
| campee | ikonia: does anyone know why ubuntu's VNC client is so slow when I connect to my ubuntu machine at home? it's unbearably slow when using vncviewer or remote desktop viewer. using a windows xp vnc client (real vnc) in the same remote location works extremely fast, so it's not a bandwidth issue. | 21:48 |
| codyxx | Okay, but could I backup all of my programs, usr folders, etc. | 21:48 |
| emperor | DanDan: before thinking about making it work, you'll have to completely remove it first to start fresh | 21:48 |
| codyxx | I'm done a lot of tweaking, and I'd hate to lose it all | 21:48 |
| codyxx | Especially with themes and such | 21:49 |
| darlek | !gg ubuntu backup | 21:49 |
| ikonia | campee: client/server incompatabilty, protocol config differences ? | 21:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:49 |
| DanDan | emperor : the output says E: couldnt find package swfdec | 21:49 |
| del_diablo | codyxx, depends on what reason you got for reinstalling | 21:49 |
| campee | i also experience the same issue when i try to use vnc to connect to my parent's computer. the issue appears from different computers all running ubuntu. | 21:49 |
| campee | windows real vnc works perfect though :/ | 21:49 |
| DanDan | emperor : .. maybe autoremove ( gstreamer ) ? since its the only one installed ? | 21:49 |
| campee | i am using "vino", the built-in server for ubuntu | 21:49 |
| codyxx | Its kind of a long story that I'd rather not get into, but I would also like to do it so as to load my installation onto other people's computers that I install Ubuntu on. | 21:49 |
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know why i only get static sound whenever i try to record my guitar in Jack Audio Connection Kit? | 21:49 |
| emperor | DanDan: you can try that | 21:49 |
| codyxx | So they would not have to go through the hassle | 21:50 |
| campee | and i'm using ubuntu's built-in vnc client | 21:50 |
| emperor | DanDan: if swfdec is not installed , install it | 21:50 |
| campee | so it is hard to believe that it is an incompat issue | 21:50 |
| Slart | campee: I'm not sure what vnc client ubuntu uses by default.. but try installing one of the ones available from the repos.. | 21:50 |
| ikonia | campee: not really, it can be incompatible depending on configuration | 21:50 |
| mkanyicy | codyxx: use tar and gzip or bzip2 to backup all your stuff | 21:50 |
| Slart | campee: vnc isn't a set standard.. there are many addons and extra features... some are only available on some clients with some servers etc.. | 21:51 |
| DanDan | emperor : this is gona take a long time ... and I think it wont work as it will still auto upgrade or install flashplugin-nonfree .. and I get the feeling ill get the same error msg :| lol | 21:51 |
| Slart | campee: they will all have a common base.. but it's quite possible that the base is pretty slow | 21:51 |
| campee | i avehn't configured anything.. | 21:51 |
| campee | haven't* | 21:51 |
| campee | i'm running these apps in their default config | 21:51 |
| emperor | DanDan: we can try, it wont take long to install the package | 21:51 |
| freenode1 | ikonia: but you can see yourself if you download the dexrex program is only for i386 | 21:51 |
| freenode1 | how can i do? | 21:51 |
| casperfoo | campee: I use xtightvncviewer on Ubuntu to go to a Mac, my options are: xtightvncviewer -bgr233 -quality 0 -compresslevel 0 -encodings zlib -nocursorshape localhost:0 | 21:52 |
| icqn | there are no updates for ubuntu since two weeks, is ubuntu bankrupt? | 21:52 |
| puffandstuff | Anyone know why kdevelop 3.9.91 only allow QT4 projects creation (no autotool project anymore), please. | 21:52 |
| casperfoo | campee: if you knock the color depth down it will go a lot faster | 21:52 |
| campee | are you going over the internet? | 21:52 |
| DanDan | emperor .. lol :( !!! .. same error !! | 21:52 |
| Slart | icqn: nope.. it's just perfect now.. no need for any more updates.. ever... ;) | 21:52 |
| codyxx | Okay, if I were to make an image file of my system. How would I restore it? | 21:52 |
| campee | i'm going through an ssh tunnel. but like i said, it works perfectly fine in windows.. | 21:52 |
| casperfoo | campee: yeah from an ADSL connection at work to a cable one at home, it's usable if I knock the quality down with those options, otherwise very slow | 21:53 |
| campee | i have 100K/s upload speed :) | 21:53 |
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know why i only get static sound whenever i try to record my guitar in Jack Audio Connection Kit? | 21:53 |
| casperfoo | campee: me too, ssh tunnel, my ssh options are ssh -C -c blowfish | 21:53 |
| JohnnyVbox | A question, do i need to download the kernel devel files or are they already in the ubuntu 9.04 700mb iso? | 21:53 |
| chaos2fu | total newbie question; to send a highlighted message to someone how do i do that? | 21:53 |
| mkanyicy | codyxx: create a partition of sufficient size with gparted from Live CD then extract with tar again | 21:53 |
| Slart | icqn: but.. on a more serious note.. I'm not sure if I've seen any updates for a while here either.. might just be that there hasn't been any.. you can try switching mirrors to see if the one you're using has stopped updating for some reason | 21:54 |
| casperfoo | campee: it's not so much a bandwidth issue as it is latency; my ping to home is ~35 ms | 21:54 |
| emperor | DanDan: try logging in with su | 21:54 |
| bmeynell | is there a server crashlog or something? how can i tell why my server crashed? | 21:54 |
| Slart | chaos2fu: it's not something you can do.. your client highlight messages according to some rules.. | 21:54 |
| campee | casperfoo: i'm going to try your method now | 21:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | how can I check idle/active time of a logged in user? | 21:54 |
| Slart | chaos2fu: usually stuff that has your nickname in it gets highlighted.. it's not something the sender can do anything about | 21:54 |
| mkanyicy | codyxx: I am using partimage but it does not come with the ubuntu LIVE CD | 21:55 |
| casperfoo | campee: I'm not sure why another client would be different speed though, except if you have different options on, maybe it uses a different encoding algorithm for example | 21:55 |
| icqn | Slart, it is everything else as perfect, the poorest edition ever!! too many issues i have, bug reports submitted, no responses at all since many weeks!!! | 21:55 |
| codyxx | Okay, thanks | 21:55 |
| DanDan | emperor ? logging in where ? .. | 21:55 |
| darlek | chaos2fu: are you talking about email? If someone receives email as plain text then any extra coding is lost anyway | 21:55 |
| chaos2fu | ok...so if i write like Slart in it it will be highlighted for u? | 21:55 |
| campee | i'm using defaults for all programs | 21:55 |
| codyxx | I downloaded the SystemRestoreCD | 21:55 |
| codyxx | *SystemRescueCD | 21:55 |
| codyxx | So I'll experiment with that | 21:55 |
| codyxx | thanks much | 21:55 |
| codyxx | Godspeed | 21:55 |
| FloodBot2 | codyxx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:55 |
| emperor | DanDan: terminal | 21:55 |
| casperfoo | campee: I actually recently switched from Real VNC on WinXP to xtightvnc in a Ubuntu VM (both thru an SSH tunnel) and I have the tightvnc going faster | 21:55 |
| emperor | DanDan: sudo su, then give it your root password | 21:55 |
| Slart | chaos2fu: correct.. although you get an F for using 'u' | 21:55 |

| ikonia | linuxghost: try the gparted tool | 21:57 |

| CaptainMorgan | ZykoticK9, yea... heh, sorry... but I'm looking for more in depth coverage.. idle time is good... what about applications? applications currently using for example | 21:58 |

| === circulox is now known as SirDerigo | ||
| ZykoticK9 | CaptainMorgan, i think that's under the WHAT heading | 21:58 |
| icqn | Slart, are you developer? | 21:58 |
| linuxghost | there is no option to increase partition in ubuntu live cd gparted | 21:58 |
| linuxghost | help me ppl | 21:58 |
| zorkum | hello, why dont work a microphone in steam or ventrilo with wine?, and in ubuntu yes work a microphone | 21:58 |
| Slart | icqn: nope | 21:58 |
| darlek | JonyBlaze: seems so, but if we're not using a lot of edgey stuff then as developers get fixing more and more things there are fewer updates. That's the hope anyway | 21:59 |
| === SirDerigo is now known as Adalid_Gris | ||
| linuxghost | isnot an miraculous to increase my partition with gparted??? | 21:59 |
| CaptainMorgan | ZykoticK9, aye... x-session-manager is indeed very vague and obscure... I'm sure there are other programs they're using... for example, I took a look at ps -aux ... | 21:59 |
| casperfoo | linuxghost: is that the ubuntu installer you are looking at, or are you actually running gparted? | 22:00 |
| ikonia | linuxghost: you can only increase it if you have unallocated space free | 22:00 |
| icqn | Slart, i am thinking to switch to another distro | 22:00 |

| ZykoticK9 | linux_, fluxbox doesn't have any built in audio system, what program are you trying to control | 22:47 |
| zenxr | linux_: I am, hold on. | 22:47 |

| Doomczar | anyone here have a fix for the low sound quality and crackling in the left speaker/headphone issue on macs? | 22:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Orange_v_Blue, a tar.gz is just a compressed file of some sort - typically this means source code - once you've uncompressed everything go into the directory and see if they have an INSTALL or readme type file - the most straight forward case will be to run the commands " .configure && make && sudo make install " - best of luck. | 22:50 |

| jtaji | computa_mike: heck you could even print them out to back them up | 23:30 |
| je||y | !hi | 23:30 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:30 |
| jtaji | computa_mike: I do that (print out) for my revocation key | 23:30 |
| je||y | could anyone please explain to me how to add the key on this page? https://edge.launchpad.net/~blueman/+archive/ppa | 23:30 |
| computa_mike | jtaji: but in order for me to sign suff on the Virtual PC I'd need to import my Private key. Does the ASCII export export the public or private key... | 23:31 |
| raylu | je||y: there is a "follow these instructions" link... | 23:31 |
| Ron586 | pedrinhobrito: I get this error: E: Couldn't find package adobeflash-plugin | 23:31 |
| t3hp00ky | Anyone know why VLC won't play anything in (.04 | 23:31 |
| t3hp00ky | 9.04 | 23:31 |
| raylu | !details | t3hp00ky | 23:31 |
| ubottu | t3hp00ky: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:31 |
| jtaji | computa_mike: you can do either but you don't need to if you just copy the whole directory | 23:32 |
| raylu | Ron586: you should really spend a second to read the error messages | 23:32 |
| SeaPhor | Ron586, do sudo apt-cache search flash for a list of available packages | 23:33 |
| computa_mike | jtaji: cool - It's good to have options. | 23:33 |
| t3hp00ky | I have an issue with VLC not playing anything it won't play and of my MP3s and I cannot get it to stream audio (DI.FM) I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 | 23:33 |
| jtaji | je||y: there's instructions if you click the link that says "Follow these instructions" ;) | 23:33 |
| pedrinhobrito | i'm sorry, sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 23:33 |
| raylu | t3hp00ky: why are you using vlc to play mp3s? | 23:33 |
| pedrinhobrito | Ron586, i'm sorry, sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 23:33 |
| computa_mike | jtaji: So if I want to give someone my public key I take it i need to do something different then... | 23:33 |
| t3hp00ky | I prefer VLC | 23:34 |
| t3hp00ky | over mplayer and totem | 23:34 |
| raylu | t3hp00ky: it doesn't even decode video well, why would you use it for audio? | 23:34 |
| === armenb_ is now known as armenb | ||
| t3hp00ky | never had issues with VLC and video | 23:34 |
| t3hp00ky | until new distro | 23:34 |
| raylu | t3hp00ky: you don't consider lack of ASS support and rampant cpu usage an issue? | 23:34 |
| jtaji | computa_mike: you would either give them the ascii public key somehow, or if you upload your key to a public keyserver you can just give your keyID | 23:35 |
| t3hp00ky | Nope | 23:35 |
| Artelus | Hey guys. | 23:35 |
| je||y | i don't particularly like this line: * | 23:35 |
| je||y | Important: You download and install PPA packages at your own risk. Ubuntu, Launchpad and Canonical do not endorse these packages. You must be certain that you trust the PPA owner before you install their software. | 23:35 |
| computa_mike | jtaji: cool - thanks for the assistance | 23:35 |
| raylu | t3hp00ky: well, you can use the terminal/debugging output of vlc to fix your problem | 23:35 |
| raylu | t3hp00ky: oh wait, there is none. | 23:35 |
| je||y | jtaji: | 23:35 |
| Artelus | I have a question. Right now I am dual-booting both windows and ubuntu. If i were to go into windows system recovery and reset windows that way, would it touch my ubuntu installation? and more importantly, would GRUB still work? | 23:35 |
| pedrinhobrito | does anyone how can i make an exponecial fitting from a data table? at gnuplot or grace | 23:36 |
| je||y | raylu: | 23:36 |
| raylu | je||y: well...the line is entirely truthful | 23:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | Artelus, won't affect grub or ubuntu at all using MS's System Restore | 23:36 |
| sirninja | artelus: I don't think it would but the most it could possibly do is mess up grub.. which you can reinstall form a live cd | 23:36 |
| rww | Artelus: It shouldn't touch your Ubuntu installation, but might overwrite GRUB. If it does, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub will fix that. | 23:36 |
| SeaPhor | pedrinhobrito, um ? english please.. (j/k) | 23:37 |
| je||y | raylu: could the package owners be installing malware on my computer? | 23:37 |
| Artelus | Alright, thanks guys. :) | 23:37 |
| erUSUL | pedrinhobrito: i know gnuplot can; consult the exact syntax in gnuplot documentation | 23:37 |
| pedrinhobrito | Artelus, it will consider the MBR is corrupted and will overwrite it, but the ubuntu instalation won't be touched. you can start from a livecd and reconfig grub | 23:37 |
| raylu | SeaPhor: he has some data points and he wants to draw a line of best fit | 23:37 |
| raylu | je||y: yes | 23:37 |
| computa_mike | Artelus: I was going to point out that MS tends to assume it's like the highlander (can be only one) - and you may need to fix grub afterwards. | 23:37 |
| lstarnes | je||y: but that is very unlikely | 23:37 |
| t3hp00ky | So your just bashing against VLC | 23:38 |
| pedrinhobrito | erUSUL, i didn't find the documentation very useful. i know it can do so, but i didn't find the right command :( | 23:38 |
| raylu | t3hp00ky: no, i'm bashing gui apps in general | 23:38 |
| computa_mike | Artelus: However for quickening - you can't go wrong with linux | 23:38 |
| je||y | hey my mouse hasn't worked ever since this bluetooth update. what the hecks going on?????? | 23:38 |
| t3hp00ky | What player do you prefer and VLC is more than a GUI app | 23:38 |
| erUSUL | pedrinhobrito: iirc it is fit | 23:39 |
| raylu | t3hp00ky: ..i'm aware. and mplayer | 23:39 |
| erUSUL | pedrinhobrito: http://www.gnuplot.info/docs/node82.html#1541 | 23:40 |
| je||y | my mouse hasn't worked ever since the bluetooth update. what the hecks going on?????? anyone? | 23:41 |

| opennick | can somebody tell me, if i can use Ubuntu Official Logo on my Website | 23:43 |
| Flannel | opennick: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that (and we'll need some more information) | 23:43 |
| Fezzler | I have a wireless and wired connection in my Ubuntu PC. How do I tell Ubuntu to make the wired the first preference. Wireless is now. | 23:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | opennick, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official | 23:44 |
| opennick | Thank a lot ZykoticK9 | 23:45 |
| Flannel | opennick: You may or may not be legally allowed to do so. Depends on what you're planning on doing with it. | 23:46 |
| opennick | yapp | 23:46 |
| frog_ | hi, could someone help me http://pastebin.com/m2b335533 | 23:46 |
| bruce_ | I opened jockey-gtk and it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 23:46 |
| Flannel | opennick: As I said, if you come to #ubuntu-offtopic, we can help you more. | 23:47 |
| opennick | Flannel : can i follow the channel recommended by you for rest ? | 23:47 |
| opennick | ok sure | 23:47 |
| opennick | Flannel : Thanks a lot | 23:47 |
| aoglobalent | hello, I need some help with certain aspects of running my newly installed Ubunutu | 23:48 |
| aoglobalent | can any one be for help? | 23:48 |
| SeaPhor | !ask | aoglobalent | 23:49 |
| ubottu | aoglobalent: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:49 |
| aoglobalent | o.k., I just installed Ubuntu on my box, i.e. IBM Thinkpad t500. I have installed wine as well as compiz. Wine is not allowing me to install certain MS software? Secondly, I did everything I was told regarding compiz and that does not work either? | 23:50 |
| === ___mikem is now known as __mikem | ||
| ZykoticK9 | aoglobalent, regarding wine did you check the applications your going to run at http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php ? this is a great resource for running things under wine. | 23:52 |
| waxhead_ | I have a question about module cofig settings... | 23:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | aoglobalent, but try to look for native linux applications as soon as you can :) | 23:52 |
| waxhead_ | if I have more than the one card of the same type, if I setup options in the options file, does it work for all the cards? | 23:53 |
| aoglobalent | Compiz? | 23:53 |
| graelin | aoglobalent: system-->preferences-->appearance--->visual effects tab ---> set something other than none. It requires hardware acceleration | 23:53 |
| meatball_ | when i edit the .bashrc file, do the changes take effect upon saving the changes, or do i have to do something to apply them | 23:53 |
| waxhead_ | meatball_: type in source .bashrc | 23:53 |
| erUSUL | meatball_: source the file to make it affect the current shell | 23:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | meatball_, bust type bash again :) | 23:54 |
| ariel | holaaa | 23:54 |
| ariel | alquien habla español? | 23:54 |
| erUSUL | meatball_: or close it and open it again | 23:54 |
| rww | !es | ariel | 23:54 |
| ubottu | ariel: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 23:54 |
| waxhead_ | source is better though | 23:54 |
| erUSUL | !es | ariel | 23:54 |
| SeaPhor | aoglobalent, try #winehq for the wine issues,,, | 23:54 |
| aoglobalent | did the change in preferences | 23:55 |
| nixn00b | can someone please tell me what buttons to use to switch from virtual box back to ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| aoglobalent | nothing happened | 23:55 |
| aoglobalent | ? | 23:55 |
| rww | nixn00b: the right Ctrl key + F, I think. If that doesn't work, it's something other than "F"... | 23:55 |
| meatball_ | has anyone here linked java to mysql on ubuntu before? | 23:55 |
| gabriel_ | Hello all | 23:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | aoglobalent, did it say that compiz couldn't be enabled? if you set it to extra - do you windows wobble ? | 23:56 |
| ariel | gabriel | 23:56 |
| ariel | Hablas Español? | 23:56 |
| custom_ | Hello all. Can anyone help me with ubuntu installation? I already have 3 primary partitions. So I want to create an extended one and to create swap, root, and home there. How can I achieve this? | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | ariel: entra en el canal #ubuntu-es | 23:56 |
| aoglobalent | yes they wobble | 23:56 |
| gnelisse | hi, i am looking for a good auth-client-config with support for ldap authentication, caching | 23:56 |
| aoglobalent | no it did not say it could not be enabled | 23:56 |
| rww | custom_: You can do that using the "Manual Partitioning" option in the Ubuntu installer. | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | custom_: I do it in partition editor, then finnish off in manual install | 23:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | aoglobalent, then compiz is working :) | 23:56 |
| graelin | aoglobalent: is your video card capable? May need to get the restricted drivers for it. If you selected extra setting, and it stuck, restart X and see if you can get it going then | 23:56 |
| nutzer | hi | 23:57 |
| ariel | pero no me parece. el canal ese :s | 23:57 |
| aoglobalent | o.k., then why is the cube not working | 23:57 |
| aoglobalent | ? | 23:57 |
| rww | ariel: /join #ubuntu-es | 23:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | aoglobalent, you need ccsm to enable cube and spin cube | 23:57 |
| nutzer | hallo | 23:57 |
| aoglobalent | ccsm? | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | ariel: escribe /join #ubuntu-es y dale enter | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | !info ccsm | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Package ccsm does not exist in jaunty | 23:57 |
| ariel | ok | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | !find ccsm | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Found: simple-ccsm | 23:58 |
| gabriel_ | Does anyone know why my panels in gnome desktop will not load automatically? I have to use the alt-f2 run box to bring up terminal and type in gnome-panel then i don't get any window frames | 23:58 |
| rww | !ccsm | 23:58 |
| kree | hello peoploblow | 23:58 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 23:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | sebsebseb, it's compiz-setting-manager or some such thing | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | ZykoticK9: yep | 23:58 |
| SeaPhor | aoglobalent, try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 23:59 |
| linux_user400354 | why will amarok 2 not play any of my music? | 23:59 |
