| tannersummers_ | wat u think sebsebseb | 00:05 |

| Roasted | I was hoping somebody could offer some advice on ACTUALLY doing it... | 00:08 |

| sebsebseb | tannersummers_: your link is for old versions | 00:09 |
| bk | abdelrahman: well you can try disabling that, then put it in hibernate, then see if it happens again | 00:09 |
| bk | abdelrahman: if that is the problem contact HP or the creator of fglrx and let them know | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | tannersummers_: your after a background change or some such? | 00:09 |
| abdelrahman | bk: its the ati driver | 00:10 |
| chuck_ | abdelrahman, there are many bug reports on launch pad concerning the fglrx driver and hibernation | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | tannersummers_: background changer | 00:10 |
| abdelrahman | chuck_: any workarounds? | 00:10 |

| p-f | Hi, dhclient keeps getting ridiculously short leases (200-1500 seconds). Any ideas why? I'm having the same problem at home and at university, so it's unlikely to be a router problem. | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | tannersummers_: most Ubuntu links from 2007, will be to old for later versions of Ubuntu | 00:11 |
| p-f | I have about 1300 seconds until my lease expires so please make it quick :p | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | tannersummers_: so 2007 links are usaully bad with modern software versions | 00:11 |

| ubottu | asdadsf: 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 ..." | 00:12 |

| tannersummers_ | sebsebseb ty | 00:12 |
| Slart | p-f: dhclient should renew the lease automatically though.. so it shouldn't be a problem | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | tannersummers_: ok good luck | 00:12 |
| asdadsf | anyone here can help me? | 00:12 |
| p-f | Slart, I may be badly interpreting this then | 00:12 |
| boss_mc | asdadsf: do other things work if you close vlc first? | 00:12 |
| p-f | Slart, either way, my connection drops every 3-4 minutes | 00:12 |

| Slart | p-f: sounds like something else is causing your problems.. anything interesting in the logs? /var/log/syslog will have some information about dhcp leases and such | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | tannersummers_: oh your link says in the edit that they won't work for hardy (that's 8.04), that means they are bound to not work for 8.10 or 9.04 either | 00:14 |

| boss_mc | avdg: it may be that the (hdX,X) changed due to the resize | 00:30 |
| p1oooop | avdg: that also may be the case ^^^ | 00:31 |
| avdg | also, i cant find /bin/grub | 00:31 |

| p1oooop | the1corrupted: you can probably use gstreamer-properties to choose a sound driver that works | 00:32 |
| yo2boy_ | but | 00:32 |
| the1corrupted | yo2boy_ You need WINE, or a Virtual Windows Machine to run .exe files. Check with #winehq | 00:32 |

| fryguy | racarter: is the device detected, is there a driver loaded for it? is the volume muted, is the right mixer being used? are the right settings for the mixer available? have you tried disabling pulseaudio and using alsa directly? have you tried using oss? | 00:48 |

| Nrbelex | fryguy, on the Ubuntu root partition? | 01:25 |

| fryguy | Roasted: if it's shared correctly, you connect to it like you connect to any other share | 01:27 |

| Roasted | fryguy - Everything is in the workgroup - workgroup and I am connected right now just fine... I am in my share browsing, so I have no idea why I have access denied to the printer. Hence my ongoing confusion. | 01:30 |
| p1oooop | hackel: ahh, okay.... kind of an extra security feature right? | 01:30 |
| fryguy | Roasted: probably because you shared the printer using a different mechanism | 01:30 |
| deeb0 | ploooop: I didn't do full installation.... I did "Install in Windows" option | 01:30 |

| p1oooop | hackel: yup... kinda annoying dont you think? | 01:31 |
| deeb0 | Kalmi: So it's not possible huh? | 01:31 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, I know my ATI isn't supported on Ubuntu 9.04 so am asking if anyone found anything about it. | 01:31 |
| Roasted | fryguy - just rebooted the XP computer and now it says ready... hmmm?? | 01:31 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: ati is supported just fine | 01:31 |
| hackel | p1oooop: Yes, very! | 01:31 |
| Roasted | fryguy - It seems to be hanging up when I try to actually print though. Great... | 01:31 |
| aaditya | barqers: that's how you'd access it. not sure what's wrong with it. i'd recommend using ssh/sftp on windows machines for file sharing though | 01:31 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, no it's not. At least for my model. | 01:31 |
| p1oooop | Gourlis: yea, you think.... it freaking kills my computer all the time | 01:32 |
| Kalmi | deeb0, i don't think it is... you could force it, but that is probably very unsafe... | 01:32 |
| Gourlis | ploooop, same problems here. | 01:32 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: the ati, or radeon driver will work just fine with any ati card | 01:32 |
| p1oooop | hackel: I'm guessing maybe as a last resource | 01:32 |
| deeb0 | Kalmi: unsafe as in? | 01:32 |
| barqers | aaditya: Okay, thank you! | 01:32 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, for the ATI Radeon X1250 no drivers found for Ubuntu 9.04 | 01:32 |
| p1oooop | hackel: maybe meaning DIY compiling... | 01:32 |
| aaditya | barqers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles | 01:32 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: so use the ati or radeon driver | 01:32 |
| Bob_Dole | Well then, Ubuntu isn't going to my choice for SPARC, looks like 6.06 is the last release for SPARC, the install guide assumes a headless server, etc. I've got a workstation, and wouldn't want to use anything earlier than 8.04 :( | 01:32 |

| deeb0 | grrr | 01:33 |
| Kalmi | :) | 01:33 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, u didn't understand | 01:33 |
| deeb0 | Why me? | 01:33 |

| permanewb | .. any suggestions? My usb keyboard has stopped being recognized, and I'm being prompted to save or replace a config file, in the middle of upgrading to 9.04... I've I turn of the computer, it's not going to just continue the installation when it restarts, I supposed. | 01:33 |
| deeb0 | Have you guys seen it happen often? | 01:33 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: i understand just fine. you aren't trying to use the ati or radeon driver | 01:33 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, how should I try? From where? | 01:33 |
| Kalmi | deeb0, a real install (not wubi) can safely read/write files on a windows partition | 01:33 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:33 |
| p1oooop | deeb0: I haven't had it damage my filesystem thankgod, but I've heard of people with mutilated filesystems | 01:33 |
| hackel | p1oooop: Well it's not as if it's just a matter of re-compiling, I would have to write the code too, that's the hard part! If it annoys me enough, I might consider doing it... | 01:33 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, by typing that into Terminal ? | 01:34 |
| deeb0 | blah... so I guess I have to uninstall and then make a dual boot of full ubuntu huh | 01:34 |
| chuck_ | Gourlis, ati dropped support for a lot of drivers you might have to use the open source driver | 01:34 |
| justfil | How can I hide the File, edit, view... menu in opera? | 01:34 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: it's a configuration file for x11, edit it to use the ati or radeon driver and see if that works | 01:34 |
| Gourlis | chuck_, i know but i don't know how to use the open source drivers. | 01:34 |
| fryguy | chuck_: which is the 'ati' driver, which is what i've been telling him to use | 01:34 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, ok i'll let u know. | 01:34 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: try the first couple of links from this: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+use+open+source+ati+driver&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a | 01:35 |

| Gourlis | fryguy, alright but how to go to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" ? I mean what to type infront of it in terminal.. | 01:36 |
| fryguy | Gourlis: it's a plain text file, edit it with whatever text editor you prefer | 01:36 |
| Gourlis | fryguy, ok i just dont know how to get there :P am newbie | 01:36 |
| publius | gourlis, i have an old ati card on my laptop, and i had to roll back my ati driver to make it work with 8.10 | 01:37 |

| byte^ | Another question: Is resizing one file system safer than another type? For example, GParted--I would think--would know how to resize ext3 better than NTFS (because it's proprietary)... Would this mean less chance of errors? I know the general "back everything up" train of thought, I'm just wondering though. | 01:45 |

| Bob_Dole | It doesn't? I was considering transitioning that system over to ubuntu :( | 01:51 |
| mr_step | can anyone tell me, when you share a folder using the gui, where it saves the settings? it's a samba share, but the settings aren't saved in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 01:51 |
| p1oooop | mr_step: probably .samba in your home folder | 01:51 |
| Jamed | Bob_Dole: The proprietary driver for the X1600 does not work in 9.04 | 01:51 |
| Bob_Dole | Jamed, Ah, works in 8.04 though I hope? | 01:52 |
| permanewb | ...can I maybe kill the installer while it's prompting to replace a config file, and then run the installer again displaying on the x server on my other computer to finish? Or, am I in an unrecoverable situation with no keyboard responding? | 01:52 |
| Jamed | Bob_Dole: yes | 01:52 |
| p1oooop | Jamed: nothing works in the newer :( | 01:52 |
| mr_step | p1oooop: there isn't a .samba folder. i've tried grepping my home directory for the text of the share and everything. it feels like i'ts a system wide setting, just not in the smb.conf file | 01:52 |
| p1oooop | mr_step: huh, then IDK... | 01:52 |
| Bob_Dole | Jamed, alright. 8.04 is fine by me. First ubuntu release I was happy with, and what prompted me to stick with 1 distro and not use Windows or OS X anymore. | 01:53 |
| mr_step | p1oooop: thanks though. i've been asking in this chatroom for days now... nobody seems to know :( | 01:53 |
| fryguy | mr_step: why not just create the share the normal way | 01:53 |
| fryguy | using smb.conf | 01:53 |
| fryguy | instead of trying to figure out a non-standard way of doing it | 01:53 |

| histo | Ugh... Need a little help I have winbind running on my lan all machines can ping the server by hostname but not each other | 02:16 |
| fryguy | ayo: it's probably installed by default, or apt-cache search vim and pick the one you want and then install that | 02:16 |

| gartral | JackGray: sshd is the server, which is runing on the box im in front of, and i have a connection from my work terminal, which i want to close without going 22 miles back to work | 02:19 |
| fryguy | alex_: are you sure the wireless driver isn't already loaded | 02:20 |
| alex_ | fryguy: I can't get onto any wireless networks, so I assume it isn't. | 02:20 |
| fryguy | gartral: use w, find the shell that's running, and kill that ssh session using the kill command | 02:20 |
| fryguy | alex_: is it listed in ifconfig and/or iwconfig? | 02:20 |
| LoveBandi | how do i load ubuntu | 02:20 |

| crazyhick | alex_ I had the same problem but I ran some update and rebooted ... then it came up in there | 02:21 |
| fryguy | LoveBandi: www.ubuntu.com, download iso, burn iso to disc, boot from it, and it walks you through it | 02:21 |
| p1oooop | Gourlis: NP | 02:21 |
| gartral | fryguy: w shows no PIDs | 02:21 |

| alex_ | fryguy and RHorse: It shows IEEE 802.11bg ESSID under wlan0 | 02:21 |
| JackGray | gartral: well.. either restart the computer in front of you... or ssh into your work cpu and kill the ssh process | 02:21 |
| fryguy | alex_: wlan0 = the driver is loaded | 02:21 |
| alex_ | fryguy and RHorse: But I can't access any networks still? | 02:22 |

| nog_lorp | anyone know the current endless set of inane steps to use ubuntu with an nvidia card? | 02:59 |
| Gourlis | rww, I just edited xorg.conf and I wanna check if everything works under what I edited. | 03:00 |
| lstarnes | cedriczg: I'm not sure how to configure that ppp0 interface | 03:00 |
| Gourlis | rww, that's why am looking forward for a command or something. | 03:00 |
| rww | Gourlis: then check the log file at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:00 |
| cedriczg | lstarnes: actually it' s an USB external modem | 03:01 |
| yogeshg1987 | people ! is there a way i can IRC through the terminal | 03:01 |
| eseven73 | irssi | 03:01 |
| rww | !irssi | yogeshg1987 | 03:01 |
| ubottu | yogeshg1987: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen | 03:01 |
| Gourlis | rww, alright let me search for it. | 03:01 |
| lstarnes | yogeshg1987: irssi, weechat, telnet, ircii, and eirc are just a few terminal-based irc clients | 03:01 |
| cedriczg | lstarnes: I am trying to make it work in my old ubuntu before installing ubuntu 9.04 | 03:01 |
| lstarnes | yogeshg1987: I personally use irssi and screen | 03:01 |
| Gourlis | rww, no log file. | 03:02 |
| yogeshg1987 | thanks a million rww and Istarnes ! I'm looking into it | 03:02 |
| lstarnes | yogeshg1987: that's an L | 03:02 |
| yogeshg1987 | oops sorry . Let me go again. Thank you Lstarnes | 03:03 |
| cedriczg | I have to say always a pleasure to find people willing to help others in this channel. Ever since a while I also try to help (when I can ;) ) | 03:03 |
| rww | Gourlis: umm. Unless you did something very weird to your Xorg, it should be logging there. "gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" doesn't come up with anything? | 03:03 |
| Gourlis | rww, let's see. | 03:03 |
| Gourlis | rww, it came. let's read now hehe | 03:04 |
| eseven73 | cedriczg, that's what keeps me on Ubuntu, it's not the OS, there's plent of OS's just as good, but they lack the community that Ubuntu has :D | 03:04 |
| cedriczg | eseven73: You are right I suppose. As Ubuntu is the only Linux I have tried since 2005 | 03:05 |
| * NCDS is away: FUCKshit | 03:06 | |

| cedriczg | bye for now... | 03:08 |
| unixroot | I recently installed 9.04. When I go to the Pandora site, the browser locks. Any clues? | 03:11 |
| yogesh | hello eseven73 rww lstarnes ! this is yogeshg1987 thro irssc | 03:11 |
| yogesh | i meant irssi | 03:11 |
| cyan837 | Could anyone help an annoying noob find the right linux driver for my linksys wireless G? All docs on it are 2005 or earlier I'm running 9.04 | 03:11 |
| ed_debian | unixroot, your flash player is the problem | 03:12 |
| unixroot | ed - I installed the Adobe package and that helped a bit - now it loads for a few seconds then clocks out again. | 03:12 |
| cyan837 | I haven't been on linux for about 2 years now thanks to having my macbook, but I'm trying to set up an old tower to use while my macbook is getting repaired. | 03:13 |
| unixroot | I am running 9.04 on my Macbook. VMware is a wonderful thing! | 03:13 |
| cyan837 | I like the mac OS | 03:13 |
| cyan837 | but I wont use windows.. | 03:14 |
| ed_debian | unixroot, I think that you have to purge all of your flash packages except for one (the one you intend to use) | 03:14 |
| === william is now known as Guest82661 | ||
| cyan837 | but I forgot how much I didn't enjoy having to find drivers for linux lol. | 03:14 |
| reqon | OMG problem solved, im just gonna purchase an nvidia card instead | 03:14 |
| unixroot | ed - that's seems to be the consensus from everything I have found on the forums. But I don't have any other flash related programs installed. Perhaps an uninstall and a reinstall? | 03:15 |
| Guest82661 | if you are having sound problems, go to your ALSA options and enable all those Volume COntrols like analog front, analog center and turn them all up, it should fix it. Did for me :) | 03:15 |
| eseven73 | cyan837, careful you're venturing into dangerous waters saying such mean things about linux ;) | 03:15 |
| === Guest82661 is now known as Turtl3 | ||
| yogesh | anybody know y my extra visual effects is not working? | 03:15 |
| cyan837 | lol eseven. I know I know.. I was a hugeee linux fan really. I still am. I just wish we could keep a complete up to date list of drivers somewhere. | 03:16 |
| ed_debian | unixroot, I don't really know what the problem is either. I guess reinstalling is a good a choice as anything else. I am running firefox 3.0 and the adobe-flash (proprietary) and it works (does not lock) but when I had a poor network connection it used to lock (like below 512KB/s down) | 03:16 |
| Turtl3 | come on you cant expect Linux to have drivers for everything | 03:16 |
| cyan837 | Yeah Alsa works great for sound cards. | 03:16 |
| Turtl3 | thats why its Linux and not PnP Windowa | 03:16 |
| unixroot | Thanks, Ed. Will give it a shot (tomorrow!). Good night to all. | 03:16 |
| ed_debian | cyan837, A complete up-to-date list of drivers is a totally rediculous task in my opinion | 03:16 |
| cyan837 | Turt, no, but I still DO need to be able to get on the internet.. my computer is no good to me without the internet. lol | 03:16 |
| Bob_Dole | You can expect linux to have drivers for everything..you just can't expect every distro to have them. | 03:17 |
| eseven73 | Turtl3, im glad Linux is still "hard to use" makes it more special, will be a sad day when it's as easy as Windows. :D | 03:17 |
| === gary_ is now known as Guest74339 | ||
| yogesh | i guess its already easier than windows | 03:17 |
| cyan837 | Bob_Dole right I agree but ubuntu I was hoping would be able to have my linksys wireless driver, it is the most common wireless router out there for most people. | 03:17 |
| ed_debian | I think that the only hard part is installing the OS (which in reality is easier to do with linux than it is with windows) The difference is nobody has to install windows | 03:18 |
| cyan837 | meh. I just want to get on the internet on my computer in less than 2 weeks. That's not that much to hope for. | 03:18 |
| yogesh | yea right.. LOL ed_debian | 03:18 |
| Bob_Dole | Out of 3 purchased wireless cards, and 3 tested that I didn't own.. all were atheros xD | 03:19 |
| cyan837 | ed_debian I disagree, I can install Gentoo in my sleep. It's getting the right drivers rounded up that's hard. | 03:19 |
| Bob_Dole | Not the same brand/model and I only find atheros o.o | 03:19 |
| ed_debian | I think if you gave someone a blank fresh computer and told them to install an operating system the typical windows user would be equally lost installing linux as they would windows xp or vista | 03:20 |
| Bob_Dole | ed_debian, I agree. | 03:20 |
| ed_debian | Don't you mean Bob Dole agrees? | 03:20 |
| Bob_Dole | Windows is a bit more confusing to install though, assuming "everything just works" on both sides | 03:21 |
| yogesh | its just that people are more used to Windows and the dogma that linux is for geeks still previals here and there.. | 03:21 |
| cyan837 | true, but I honestly am not your average computer user. I'm just one that wants a driver lol. | 03:21 |
| ed_debian | Yeah! And what do windows users do on their computers? They use itunes, they use ms office, they use firefox, they play games that's pretty much it. Is any of that hard to do in linux? I don't think so | 03:22 |
| Bob_Dole | iTunes has issues under WINE. | 03:22 |
| Detrix | I have a gateway laptop with a realtek wifi. it works, but when I get more than 20feet from it, the meter/icon says I have signal, but I can not communicate. why??? | 03:22 |
| yogesh | its easier to do all that in linux. as i said Dogma ! the mind set. | 03:22 |
| ed_debian | My point is you can listen to music (amarok), type papers (Open office) etc etc | 03:23 |
| Jamed | the last time i installed winXP i googled half an hour to find a sound driver | 03:23 |
| ed_debian | cyan837, is right though, we're off topic | 03:23 |
| eplawless | ed_debian: I use windows as my main development environment, and have yet to see anything beat VS2008 + Visual Assist X for coding in C++ | 03:23 |
| geirha | cyan837: Well, you'll need to provide the make and model if you want help in finding drivers | 03:23 |
| Jamed | in linux i never had this problem | 03:23 |
| yogesh | when i say linux , people imagine me working with cli when i show them ubuntu, they re surprised by the gui | 03:23 |
| Bob_Dole | MS-Office..not a clue, but OpenOffice offers all the features and looks about the same, firefox is on linux. a lot of games are on linux. | 03:23 |
| Beatlesfan | hi, can someone help me set up connection to a network drive using vpnc? | 03:24 |
| Bob_Dole | last time I installed XP.. I installed linux and used lspci to find the model of sound card. | 03:24 |
| ed_debian | lol | 03:24 |
| ed_debian | Really? Why did you install xp at all? | 03:24 |
| Bob_Dole | My brother -paid- for it :/ | 03:24 |
| Jamed | finding the model was not the problem | 03:24 |
| ed_debian | that was silly | 03:24 |
| Bob_Dole | I agree, | 03:24 |
| eplawless | I'm having an issue with a Qt application I've put together. It works fine on Debian, but crashes hard when I try to build it under Ubuntu. | 03:24 |
| geeksquad | Does anybody know where i can find drivers for the XFX 750i sli motherboard? | 03:25 |
| racecar56 | i want to compile wxDFast under CodeBlocks and no matter what i do, it dosen't see my includes of wxWidgets 2.8 (and 2.6, i think wxDFast uses 2.8 though, but i told codeblocks to look in wx-2.8 and wx-2.6 in my /usr/include, could it be confused?) | 03:25 |
| eplawless | I'm getting a string of QSqlQuery::value: not positioned on a valid record, followed by a malloc(): memory corruption (fast) and a backtrace | 03:25 |
| eplawless | Could anyone point me in the right direction? | 03:25 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, A motherboard doesn't need driver specific things on it do. (i.e. the sound card) be more specific? | 03:26 |
| Bob_Dole | There are -15- computers on this plot of land 4 run windows, and 2 of them only run it because they are laptops with busted optical drives, no network boot support, and no USB boot support. | 03:26 |
| yogeshg1987 | bye all | 03:26 |
| Beatlesfan | anyone, network drive connect via vpnc assist? | 03:26 |
| geeksquad | i need the drivers for the network card built in to it | 03:26 |
| agonnerman | Quick question here. | 03:26 |
| Bob_Dole | then ask it | 03:27 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, Did ubuntu recognize it? | 03:27 |
| geeksquad | nope not even sysinfo detects it | 03:27 |
| colonelqubit1 | How do I get people interested in my bug? | 03:27 |
| Turtl3 | how do I know if my firefox is 32 or 64 bit? | 03:27 |
| sjokkis | when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled? | 03:28 |
| agonnerman | I am working on getting into sysadmin work. Currently work for a startup, but not as a sysadmin (yet). Would like to learn a programming language to support work. Office uses Ruby. I've been learning a different object-oriented language. Is Ruby used at all by the Linux crowd for anything other than web dev work? | 03:28 |
| bc | anyone know off the top of their head how to force fetchmail to use ipv4? | 03:28 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, ooo, sorry I don't know what to do, Try this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hardware/Detection | 03:28 |
| colonelqubit1 | agonnerman: I use Ruby for all kinds of scripting needs | 03:28 |
| jorgp-home | in the weather applet is there a way to add your own city? | 03:29 |
| Bob_Dole | a couple people I converse with regularly are obsessed with LUA and LISP. | 03:29 |
| agonnerman | colonelqubitl: so nobody's going to sneer at me for using it over some other language? At least, not for the most part among linux geeks? | 03:29 |
| ed_debian | jorgp-home, No, it is giving you a list of weather stations that post their data. To add a city you'd have to buy / build a weather station. | 03:29 |
| eplawless | I'll put forward that developing for Linux involves more stupid unnecessary tasks fighting the operating system than developing for OSX or Windows, and this contributes to an already problematic lack of drivers. | 03:30 |
| doleyb | agonnerman: well if you can't handle perl or python, they will question you... and you'll have trouble modifying existing scripts. | 03:30 |
| geeksquad | ed_debian: that page has no useful info for me. | 03:30 |
| racecar56 | i want to compile wxDFast under CodeBlocks and no matter what i do, it dosen't see my includes of wxWidgets 2.8 (and 2.6, i think wxDFast uses 2.8 though, but i told codeblocks to look in wx-2.8 and wx-2.6 in my /usr/include, could it be confused?) (sorry for this big hunk of text) | 03:30 |
| colonelqubit1 | agonnerman: we use capistrano for some sysadmin work | 03:30 |
| agonnerman | dolyb: I've been working on Python and hate to set it aside. | 03:30 |
| racecar56 | btw #codeblocks is a ghost town | 03:30 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, Sorry :(. Not even the tools to detect hardware if hardware-manager didn't find them? | 03:30 |
| ed_debian | agonnerman, Python is a dream with syntax isn't it? | 03:31 |
| ddwolf | python 's syntax is wonderful,I like it | 03:31 |
| ed_debian | yeah | 03:31 |
| colonelqubit1 | agonnerman: I mean, people have their "favorite" language, and you might find Perl installed on more systems than Ruby, but I think it's a crisp language. Python isn't half bad, either. | 03:31 |
| geeksquad | nothing detects it and i cant use the driver cd because when i try to run it with wine it says "setup already running" when it isnt | 03:32 |
| ed_debian | oo wow | 03:32 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, Are you sure it's physically working? | 03:32 |
| agonnerman | I don't have the time and energy right now to work on more than one language, and I'd like to go with the one that will be best accepted. | 03:32 |
| Beatlesfan | anyone , can you assist me with vpnc and accessing network drive? | 03:32 |
| RHorse | :P | 03:32 |
| jorgp-home | ed_debian: can I borrow some money to build a weather station? | 03:33 |
| geeksquad | yes i am on the same computer but with a diffrent os that supports it | 03:33 |
| ed_debian | jorgp-home, No sorry lol. Is there not one near you? | 03:33 |
| agonnerman | I know in sysadmin work it isn't anywhere near as critical as it is for programmers, but I'd like to focus well. I have had a good time getting into Python. | 03:33 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, Sorry man I have no idea. | 03:33 |
| agonnerman | Again, though, the office where I work doesn't use python. uses ruby. | 03:33 |

| IAmABot007 | hi | 03:34 |
| colonelqubit1 | agonnerman: honestly, I run across various bits and pieces of things when sysadmining. | 03:34 |
| colonelqubit1 | agonnerman: so if you have a basic understanding of bash, perl, python, and ruby, then you'll do okay | 03:35 |
| geeksquad | does anybody know how to install the drivers from a windows driver cd on ubuntu | 03:35 |
| === IAmABot007 is now known as aaditya | ||
| ed_debian | geeksquad, do you know what ndiswrapper is? | 03:35 |
| colonelqubit1 | agonnerman: just jump in and start poking at some simple scripts. Start with one language at a time, then expand your knowledge as you go | 03:35 |
| aaditya | geeksquad: drivers for what? | 03:35 |
| === |_ocke is now known as bree | ||
| geeksquad | my motherboards network chip, its a XFX 750i sli | 03:36 |
| ed_debian | ndiswrapper lets you use windows (wifi) drivers in linux. It is a wrapper. You would need to find something similar for nic cards | 03:36 |
| agonnerman | thanks colonelqubit1 and everyone else. | 03:37 |
| monkiesatemybaby | ubuntu noob - failing to find the shared (public) folder on my wifes vista pc | 03:37 |
| monkiesatemybaby | Unable to mount location | 03:37 |
| ed_debian | monkiesatemybaby, DId you install samba? | 03:37 |
| geeksquad | now how do i use ndiswrapper | 03:37 |
| cerealhungry | I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.0, I would like to get .wma files to play "in the background". What happens right now, if I use the Movie or VLC plug in, it open the download windown and the player and plays it. I don't want any of that. | 03:37 |
| monkiesatemybaby | just installed samba and rebooted | 03:38 |
| aaditya | geeksquad: your network card should work out of the box without installing a hardware | 03:38 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, it's a package. And it has a gtk front-end but it only works for wifi drivers | 03:38 |
| ed_debian | (certain ones at that) just get it from the repos | 03:38 |
| geeksquad | but this one doesent | 03:38 |
| ed_debian | monkiesatemybaby, open a terminal and run smbtree | 03:38 |
| monkiesatemybaby | i sdone | 03:39 |
| geeksquad | all it says in XP is that is a NVIDIA nForce network controller | 03:39 |
| monkiesatemybaby | i see her pc | 03:39 |
| ed_debian | geeksquad, I once had a system that when the system shut down the driver for my nic freaked out and when the system rebooted the nic was totally gone. | 03:39 |
| aaditya | geeksquad: let's start with dmesg output | 03:40 |
| ed_debian | Try killing the power on your system at any point (i suggest early in the boot process to avoid problems) That's what used to get my nic back | 03:40 |
| ed_debian | monkiesatemybaby, man samba | 03:40 |
| sjokkis | when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled? | 03:40 |
| monkiesatemybaby | it says Failed to retrieve share list from server | 03:40 |
| annaimkonki | hello everyone. how can i burn mp3 in k3b? | 03:41 |
| aaditya | geeksquad: if you could pastebin the output of `dmesg`. A simple way to do so is `dmesg | pastebinit ` | 03:41 |
| annaimkonki | is brasaro burner messed up? | 03:41 |
| aaditya | annaimkonki: there's a plugin in k3b that allows you to deal with mp3 | 03:41 |
| monkiesatemybaby | man samba?? | 03:41 |
| ed_debian | monkiesatemybaby, You're setting up a samba client https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 03:41 |
| monkiesatemybaby | ok | 03:42 |
| ed_debian | nop | 03:42 |
| annaimkonki | aaditya: whats it called? | 03:42 |
| ed_debian | np* | 03:42 |
| geeksquad | well i also have a wifi card installed that does have drivers on linux but wifi is painstakingly slow. but i will reboot and see if it works | 03:42 |

| korjata | Hi, I recently formatted a hard drive and I can't do anything to it because it was created by root. | 03:45 |
| ed_debian | korjata, What are you trying to do? | 03:46 |
| the1corrupted | Can anyone help me? When linux tries to play sounds, all I hear is static. | 03:46 |
| annaimkonki | ok thanks! :) | 03:46 |
| ed_debian | korjata, This harddrive is formatted ext3? | 03:46 |
| korjata | ed_debian: just normal operations, writing files, making folders. | 03:46 |
| korjata | ed_debian: fat32 | 03:46 |
| tuxxy__ | the1corrupted: can you hear test sounds in sound prefs | 03:47 |
| ed_debian | korjata, So you want this as extra /home space sorta? | 03:47 |
| the1corrupted | tuxxy__ That's just it. It's all static. | 03:47 |
| ed_debian | fat32?!?! | 03:47 |
| dsdeiz | where do you guys get audacious skins? :D | 03:47 |
| tuxxy__ | the1corrupted: try setting sound playback to ALSA? | 03:47 |
| annaimkonki | still doesn't work... it wants me to convert the mp3 files | 03:47 |
| aaditya | annaimkonki: did you restart k3b? | 03:48 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I have two hd's in my box and I formatted the second. Now I can't do anything. Should I reformat the drive as something else? | 03:48 |
| annaimkonki | yes | 03:48 |
| Detrix | I have a realtek 8187b. its working, but when I get like 20 feet from it, the network Icon says I have signal, but I can not communicate, cant even log on to the router. | 03:48 |
| Detrix | why | 03:48 |
| aaditya | !prefix | annaimkonki | 03:48 |
| ubottu | annaimkonki: 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 :) | 03:48 |
| geirha | annaimkonki: Do you want to make an audio cd or a data cd with mp3s? | 03:48 |
| tiyowan | Detrix: Can you ping your router? | 03:48 |
| annaimkonki | geirha: audio cd | 03:49 |
| ed_debian | korjata, It is important to understand your file-system a little bit when you want to add space to it. I believe that you're going to use this second drive sort of like extra space for your personal things (i.e. not system files) is this correct? | 03:49 |
| ed_debian | No you don't necessarily need to repartition | 03:49 |
| Bob_Dole | I once used a IRC client where tab didn't work and it made me sad :( | 03:49 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: I am currenly close enough I should, I will try now. | 03:49 |
| korjata | ed_debian: yes. | 03:49 |
| the1corrupted | tuxxy__: That's not the problem. Alsa sees it, it used to work, but something got fubar'ed in the mix, and now it doesn't work. Is there a way to "reset" the sound card? It has nothing to do with the drivers (which I reinstalled), but everything in how Linux interfaces with the sound card. | 03:49 |
| annaimkonki | i did it before w/ 8.04 but this is 9.10 and brasero normalizes the track forever | 03:49 |
| barqers | Does anyone know if ATI Radeon X1300 cards are supported by proprietary drivers? Or only open source? | 03:49 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Is the harddrive mounted automatically? | 03:49 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I believe so. | 03:50 |
| the1corrupted | barqers Proprietary only. | 03:50 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: at the moment I can. I will have to wait until tomorrow to try it elsewhere. | 03:50 |
| ed_debian | korjata, In "computer" if you double click (open) the drive does it tell you "You're not privilaged to mount this shit" or does it open and show nothing (cause the disk is empty) | 03:50 |
| barqers | the1corrupted: Howcome I don't get the "new hardware" thing that I usually get upon a fresh install of ubuntu, and doesn't allow me to install proprietary drivers? | 03:50 |
| Bob_Dole | How fast have the Open drivers been developing since AMD opened up the specs to their cards? | 03:51 |
| the1corrupted | barqers I don't know. Perhaps it doesn't see it. Occasionally, a reboot may be required. Unless you tried that. | 03:51 |
| chez | how do i use chmod to stop users from accessing certain folders? | 03:51 |
| monkiesatemybaby | ok i reread that page but perhaps im thick... if i go to places>network it shows my pc, her pc, and windows network. ican go through windows network to her pc as well, but in either case when i doubleclick her pc icon it says Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server | 03:51 |
| aaditya | !chmod | chez | 03:51 |
| ubottu | chez: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 03:51 |
| ed_debian | chez, chown changes the owner on a file | 03:52 |
| tiyowan | Detrix: Okay...and what happens when you ping any website? | 03:52 |
| korjata | ed_debian: It's empty and it's already mounted. | 03:52 |
| dhendrix | chez: remove execute permission from the directory | 03:52 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Well that's good, one step down | 03:52 |
| aaditya | tiyowan: you should get a reply from that website | 03:52 |
| monkiesatemybaby | her pc has a public folder that i could read with windows xp ab hour ago | 03:52 |
| ed_debian | if you hit the up (not the back the up) where do you land? | 03:52 |
| chez | dhendrix: WIll i still be able to access it? | 03:52 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: it works but I will have to try tomorrow when I can get further away from the router | 03:53 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Should be /media/"something" | 03:53 |
| korjata | ed_debian: media. | 03:53 |
| tiyowan | aaditya: Yes, I know. :) Question was for Detrix. | 03:53 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Have you used the terminal before? Do you know what the cd command does? | 03:53 |
| the1corrupted | barqers You could always go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 03:53 |
| geirha | korjata: Did you add an entry for it in /etc/fstab? | 03:53 |
| aaditya | monkiesatemybaby: when you see "Unable to mount", trying again usually fixes the problem | 03:53 |
| korjata | ed_debian: yep the cd command changes the directory | 03:54 |
| ed_debian | awesome | 03:54 |
| tiyowan | Detrix: Oh, so you're not near the router you are having problems with right now? | 03:54 |
| ed_debian | open a terminal change to /media | 03:54 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I don't know what that is. | 03:54 |
| monkiesatemybaby | tried about 20 times now after mutual reboots etc | 03:54 |
| white_ | i need help with gtk-gnutella | 03:54 |
| dhendrix | chez: Yeah. Just remove execute permission for "group" and "other" permissions. Try "chmod go-x foo" | 03:54 |
| ed_debian | korjata, You don't know what a terminal is? | 03:54 |
| sjokkis | when i adjust the master volume in pulseaudio, it also adjusts the pcm volume in alsamixer, and vice versa. are these supposed to be coupled? | 03:54 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I know that. | 03:54 |
| barqers | the1corrupted: It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 03:54 |
| ed_debian | lol | 03:54 |
| monkiesatemybaby | the internet connection goes thru her pc and i didnt have to set it up ayt all it worked as soon as i got ubuntu installed | 03:54 |
| korjata | ed_debian: not the /etc/fstab. | 03:54 |
| white_ | anyone know how to update/upgrade gnutella? | 03:55 |
| white_ | gtk gnutella? | 03:55 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: I am near the router now which is why its working. its when I move about 20feet away from the router that I have problems | 03:55 |
| white_ | I cant connect | 03:55 |
| korjata | ed_debian: k I typed cd /media. | 03:55 |
| the1corrupted | barqers: I remember getting that problem once, but it was cleared up with a clean reboot. | 03:55 |
| ed_debian | korjata, That wasn't me. I know what it is though /etc/fstab tells ubuntu how to mount the various filesystems it might encounter. It is a config file | 03:55 |
| ed_debian | korjata ls what is in /media | 03:55 |
| white_ | ed_debian: you download music? | 03:55 |
| robdig | sjokkis: yes, that is default. if you want to stop it, open volume control, and click the chain link under the control that you want to unlink | 03:56 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: I suppose I could wonder around a bit a try pinging the router. | 03:56 |
| ed_debian | white_, I have. Why? | 03:56 |
| white_ | ed_debian: im looking for a program to download music | 03:56 |
| ed_debian | white_, Use torrents | 03:56 |
| ed_debian | transmission | 03:56 |
| white_ | ed_debian: that takes awhile doesnt it? | 03:56 |
| the1corrupted | Here's a general question... Why are there so many unreadable files in my /dev dir? | 03:57 |
| tiyowan | Detrix: Hmm...if it works when you're near the router, but not when you move away, then it would seem that there is a problem in the transmission of the signal. | 03:57 |
| ed_debian | white_, Only becuase you typically download 1 gb of data. | 03:57 |
| sjokkis | robdig: doesn't that merely decouple the left and right channels? | 03:57 |
| korjata | ed_debian: cdrom, cdrom0, floppy, floppy0, local disk (the one I want), and portable disk. | 03:57 |
| ed_debian | cd into local disk | 03:57 |
| monkiesatemybaby | any other thoughts on how i can get to the 150 GB of crunchy info i backed up on my wifes pc be4 i installed ubuntu? | 03:57 |
| tuxxy__ | the1corrupted: did you check your PCM volume in gnome-volume-control | 03:57 |
| robdig | sjokkis: hmm, you may be right. | 03:57 |
| ed_debian | korjata, then sudo mkdir "a folder" | 03:58 |
| sjokkis | robdig: i tried and that's what happened | 03:58 |
| the1corrupted | tuxxy__ Volume's fine. I use VMWare to put up a Windows Machine. My comp froze and I had to reboot so VMWare wasn't shut down properly. Now sounds work in my VM but not in Linux. | 03:58 |
| korjata | ed_debian: done | 03:59 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: yes this is what has been confusing me. I thought that a wifi signal could go about or at least 100feet. but I am beginning to wonder | 03:59 |
| ed_debian | sudo chown korjata a folder (replace what seems obvious lol) | 03:59 |
| ed_debian | actually | 03:59 |
| ed_debian | lmao | 03:59 |
| ed_debian | this is silly | 03:59 |
| ed_debian | cd to /media | 04:00 |
| FloodBot2 | ed_debian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:00 |
| eseven73 | !enter | 04:00 |
| tiyowan | Detrix: Have you tried using another computer to connect to router from a distance? | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:00 |
| ed_debian | and simply sudo chown korjata local\ disk | 04:00 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Sorry about that idk what I was thinking | 04:00 |
| korjata | ed_debian: type in my desktop name where korjata is? | 04:00 |
| the1corrupted | tuxxy__: There's also a ton of unreadable files in my /dev/ directory... | 04:01 |
| ed_debian | yeah type your username (idk what it is) | 04:01 |
| stealth- | would the xrandr command return hardware based results or would it be based on the xconf file? | 04:02 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I would hope not. done. | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | korjata, lol | 04:02 |
| tuxxy__ | the1corrupted: sounds like a vmware issue check sound config in that, uninstall vmware could be an option - virtualbox is very good also | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | So chown changes the owner of a file | 04:02 |
| Fezzler | My YouTube video jumps around. Sound is great. | 04:02 |
| monkiesatemybaby | ok ive decided im not informed enogh for linux yet...ill try a dual boot system for a while and see if i catch on | 04:02 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: sorry was taking the laptop for a walk | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | the owner of a file has full permission | 04:02 |
| ed_debian | so you should be able to open your "local disk" now and for example create a folder | 04:03 |
| joanki123 | does anyone know how i can find Nautilus? or what it is? | 04:03 |
| tuxxy__ | who in here is from UK or is it just me | 04:03 |
| ed_debian | monkiesatemybaby, You just tried to tackle one of the largest and most complicated systems (samba) don't fret | 04:03 |
| coz_ | stealth-, I thought it based its readouts to the connection to xserver I could be wrong | 04:03 |
| joanki123 | i have instructions that say: Start up Nautilus and go to Edit--->Preferences and select the Media tab. | 04:03 |
| the1corrupted | tuxxy__ VMWare pulls the "auto detect" card... | 04:03 |
| stealth- | joanki123: nataulis is the file browser that gnome uses. | 04:03 |
| korjata | ed_debian: Lol, I forgot to capitalize | 04:03 |
| monkiesatemybaby | oh did i? | 04:03 |
| joanki123 | stealth-, how do i start it? | 04:03 |
| monkiesatemybaby | lol | 04:03 |
| xxubuntu | can anyone tell me how to fix the multimedia keyboard in xubuntu? | 04:03 |
| Detrix | tiyowan: only other computer I have to try with is an xp maching | 04:04 |
| stealth- | joanki123: run the command, open a directory in gnome, etc | 04:04 |
| korjata | ed_debian: It says operation not permitted. | 04:04 |
| sysadmin | how can | 04:04 |
| sysadmin | i reinstall grub? | 04:04 |
| ed_debian | korjata, sudo chmod? | 04:04 |
| ed_debian | korjata, sudo chown* rather | 04:04 |
| stealth- | joanki123: by default, any time your using a file browser in gnome its nautalis. You can check by going to Help>about from the browser window | 04:05 |
| the1corrupted | tuxxy__ Holy crap... I'm a loser... I didn't check the PCM volume until now... *head.. meets... desk* | 04:05 |
| monkiesatemybaby | maybe a bit more info...the shared folder is public, and should be easy to access... it showed up auto in network places on windows, and the pc shows up in ubuntu now, it just wont get past the pc name | 04:05 |
| korjata | ed_debian: chown: missing operand try chown -- help for more info | 04:05 |
| sysadmin | !grub | 04:05 |
| 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 | 04:05 |
| joanki123 | stealth-, thanks | 04:05 |
| ed_debian | korjata copy / paste your exact command (remove your username) | 04:06 |
| vasy | hi everyone.. I have problem with my laptop battery options to shutdown when its too low or critical. | 04:06 |
| Detrix | sysadmin: you need to boot off the live cd and run the grub...there is a web page but I dont remember it | 04:06 |
| monkiesatemybaby | ill shut up and wait if patience is what im currently lacking lol | 04:06 |
| vasy | anyone facing the same issues ? | 04:06 |
| stealth- | coz_: okay, thanks anyways. Is there a way I could check to see the hardware maximum? | 04:06 |
| joanki123 | Hm... i also have this: Right click on Applications and select Edit Menus. This will bring up the Main Menu window | 04:06 |
| joanki123 | i don't see Applications in this menu | 04:06 |
| ed_debian | monkiesatemybaby, I think nobody really knows / wants to tackle samba right now | 04:06 |
| korjata | ed_debian: name@name-desktop:/media$ sudo chown name Local\ Disk | 04:06 |
| monkiesatemybaby | deal | 04:07 |
| xxubuntu | can anyone tell me how to fix the multimedia keyboard in xubuntu? | 04:07 |
| dft | monkiesatemybaby: what's up with samba? | 04:07 |
| coz_ | stealth-, this man page seems pretty complete for what it does and what yo u can do with it http://www.xfree86.org/current/Xrandr.3.html | 04:07 |
| stealth- | !repeat | xxubuntu | 04:07 |
| ubottu | xxubuntu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 04:07 |
| vasy | hi anyone having batter options issues ie. shutdown when its too low but its not working | 04:07 |
| monkiesatemybaby | ill go hump it like a retard on a football and see what i come up with at least i know its a samba specific issue | 04:07 |
| dft | monkiesatemybaby: interesting analogy | 04:07 |
| stealth- | coz_: oh, k. I forgot about that *facepalm*. Thanks | 04:07 |
| joanki123 | nm i figured it out | 04:07 |
| Detrix | vasy: I believe its suppose to do that. | 04:07 |
| Original | good evening | 04:08 |
| joanki123 | thanks for your help stealth- | 04:08 |
| stealth- | joanki123: np | 04:08 |
| coz_ | stealth-, :) quickly reading it looks like your questions should be answered there in some detail:) | 04:08 |
| vasy | detrix: I selected the option to shutdown when its too low.. but its not actually working.. I am using jaunty | 04:08 |
| stealth- | coz_: k | 04:08 |
| Original | I have a question about ubuntu | 04:08 |
| darkham | hey people, every time i want to change the third part repository in synaptic , i've the little window "repositories changed" | 04:08 |
| Original | why not ubuntu and windows? | 04:09 |
| darkham | and i can't do anything | 04:09 |
| ed_debian | korjata, I have just learned (google told me) that fat and ntfs don't support linux/unix persmissions (like chown) which is why you cannot change them! | 04:09 |
| korjata | ed_debian: Then what should I change it to? | 04:09 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I have nothing on there so it doesn't matter. | 04:10 |
| vasy | detrix: any help would be appreciated? | 04:10 |
| ed_debian | korjata, We have 2 options 1 re-format to ext3 (pretty file-system) or we could edit /etc/fstab to allow you to write to your "Local\ Disk" via options when mounting | 04:10 |
| Detrix | vasy: I have not really needed to change my battery settings. Jauntry should be pretty well set up to do it properly | 04:10 |
| korjata | ed_debian: ext3 | 04:10 |
| coz_ | stealth-, of course...if anything like me... it helps if someone is regularly using this to kind of frame the possiblities in a smaller explanation than a "man" page :) | 04:10 |
| korjata | brb! | 04:10 |
| Detrix | vasy: so I am not the best person to help | 04:10 |
| ed_debian | korjata, ok. I'll be ready and waiting when you get back. | 04:10 |
| vasy | detrix: thanks.. | 04:10 |
| stealth- | Original: thats considered trolling, and isnt really a support question. maybe you'll get a better answer in #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:11 |
| coz_ | stealth-, for that kind of synopsys I move over to the #linux channel | 04:11 |
| vasy | detrix: I will search it in the net | 04:11 |
| stealth- | coz_: :) | 04:11 |
| darkham | how can i purge the sources.list in synaptic? | 04:11 |
| coz_ | darkham, you want to get rid of it? | 04:12 |
| Decessus | hey, my thumb drive has seemed to stop auto-mounting, what do I have to edit to make it do it again? My disc media /will/ auto mount, but no USB devices | 04:12 |
| dft | that sounds like a bad idea | 04:12 |
| Decessus | s/no/not | 04:13 |
| dft | Decessus, try restarting hald | 04:13 |
| Decessus | dft I have | 04:13 |
| dft | hmm, okay | 04:13 |
| poboy975 | hello, I have a dell laptop, the wireless used to work, but now it doesnt. is there a way to completly remove the network settings? to bring network back to a fresh install state? | 04:13 |
| coz_ | darkham, or do you want a default sources list? | 04:13 |
| ed_debian | Decessus, Did you pull the drive before unmounting? | 04:13 |
| darkham | coz_:i want to solve a problem i have in synaptic: every time i want to load the screen when i can edit the repos, i've the screen "repositories changed" | 04:13 |
| Decessus | ed_debian, no, never do | 04:13 |
| korjata | ed_debian: K it's all done and I ran the command and it all works now. | 04:13 |
| coz_ | darkham, mm | 04:14 |
| ed_debian | That was fast! | 04:14 |
| coz_ | darkham, any other errors? | 04:14 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Good job. Any other problems? | 04:14 |
| darkham | coz_:not | 04:14 |
| Decessus | I can manually mount it fine, but then I need root access to add files | 04:14 |
| ed_debian | Decessus, sudo /etc/init.d/dev restart? | 04:14 |
| === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo | ||
| darkham | coz__ a little bit strange, is the screen after adding a repo, but i haven't change anithing | 04:15 |
| coz_ | darkham, try sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin you may have to do those separately | 04:15 |
| korjata | ed_debian: just a problem in rtorrent that I'm asking in their irc. I don't think there are any others. | 04:15 |
| npm2 | can anyone assist with ubuntu dial up issues? | 04:15 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Ok | 04:15 |
| Decessus | ed_debian, command not found ;\ | 04:16 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I transferred a 13 gigabyte folder to my local disk from my linux hd. It had no file transfer, is that normal? | 04:16 |
| darkham | coz_: nothing is changed.... | 04:17 |
| ed_debian | no something is wrong there | 04:17 |
| ed_debian | go look at the folder is it all there? | 04:17 |
| darkham | coz_: i don't know what to do.. | 04:17 |
| coz_ | darkham, mm is this a default sources.list or have you added repos to it? | 04:17 |
| korjata | ed_debian: yep, but i did take the files from there... | 04:17 |
| korjata | and the video works perfectly. | 04:17 |
| underdog7 | does anyone know a good hardware-help channel? | 04:18 |
| ed_debian | korjata, You transferred 13GB of data from one harddrive to another in less than a second? | 04:18 |
| darkham | coz_: i've added other repos, but things like the kubuntu repos for kde4, the deluge repo, xbmc repos, nothing more | 04:18 |
| korjata | ed_debian: yes and my computer is older than dirt. | 04:18 |
| poboy975 | hello, I have a dell laptop, the wireless used to work, but now it doesnt. is there a way to completly remove the network settings? to bring network back to a fresh install state? | 04:18 |
| coz_ | darkham, and this happens in sysnapitc or add remove? | 04:18 |
| korjata | ed_debian: miracle... | 04:18 |
| ed_debian | korjata, It's a miracle!!! | 04:18 |
| korjata | ed_debian: !!! | 04:19 |
| coz_ | darkham, synaptic sorry | 04:19 |
| darkham | coz_:this issue i have, it's from today and i don't have added nothing in the last 2 weeks | 04:19 |
| ed_debian | korjata, !! lol, idk. Are you sure it isn't a symlink or something? | 04:19 |
| darkham | coz_: in synaptic gui | 04:19 |
| korjata | ed_debian: symlink? | 04:19 |
| darkham | coz_: i can load only preferencies | 04:20 |
| ed_debian | korjata, If you click on any file in you have the option to "make link" they're like shortcuts in windows | 04:20 |
| coz_ | darkham, ok go into synaptic Serrings Repositories Third party tab and disable the added repos | 04:20 |
| ehtesh | sorry to interrupt... | 04:20 |
| ed_debian | softlinks simply point to a file in another place, hardlinks are exact full copies (if you change one they both change) | 04:20 |
| ehtesh | i am installing ubuntu from CD | 04:20 |
| coz_ | darkham, synaptic...settings...repositories...Third party tab | 04:20 |
| ehtesh | but it is asking for username and password.... | 04:20 |
| darkham | coz_: i can't load the screen , is this my problem | 04:20 |
| coz_ | oh! | 04:20 |
| korjata | ed_debian: nope, drag and drop. Btw I have only a 700 mhz processor and 768 m of ram. | 04:21 |
| ehtesh | what username and password can i give? | 04:21 |
| berg | root/toor | 04:21 |
| coz_ | darkham, ok sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:21 |
| concerta | virgo girls | 04:21 |
| coz_ | darkham, comment the added repos | 04:21 |
| coz_ | darkham, save and try again | 04:21 |
| darkham | coz_: ok | 04:21 |
| ed_debian | Even the fastest processor in the world would take some time because of disk i/o but if the files are there they're there | 04:21 |
| korjata | It was probably because the files WERE there. | 04:22 |
| ed_debian | korjata, In the spirit of blind faith lets not question the miracles of the lord lol | 04:22 |
| korjata | lol. | 04:22 |
| ed_debian | korjata, maybe | 04:22 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I wonder if anyone here knows of miracles. | 04:22 |
| anom01y | hi, I installed java6-jre, but facebook's games don't play | 04:23 |
| mobi-sheep | Meh. Did Gnome ever release a fix for AisleRiot Spider Solitaire for many to-be-Ubuntu moms out there? | 04:23 |
| ed_debian | korjata, You mean besides the one we just discovered on your system? | 04:23 |
| anom01y | what do I need to do to get this to work ? | 04:23 |
| korjata | ed_debian: well knows how they are caused. | 04:23 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Maybe! Idk | 04:23 |
| darkham | coz_: nothing is changed... | 04:23 |
| poboy975 | hello so anyone available? | 04:24 |
| coz_ | darkham, I am puzzled then I will had you over to others here sorry guy | 04:24 |
| darkham | coz_: it's very strange... | 04:24 |
| korjata | ed_debian: my computer can barely play videos, I don't know how. lemme try another file. | 04:24 |
| mobi-sheep | poboy975: Ask the real question. | 04:24 |
| poboy975 | hello, I have a dell laptop, the wireless used to work, but now it doesnt. is there a way to completly remove the network settings? to bring network back to a fresh install state? | 04:25 |
| korjata | ed_debian: when I drag and drop it disappears from one and goes to the other as if they were one. | 04:25 |
| coz_ | darkham, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/113424 | 04:25 |
| ed_debian | wow, instantly? | 04:25 |
| rootvirus | sup all | 04:25 |
| mobi-sheep | poboy975: You sure it's not a laptop's wireless switch? Laptop often have them. | 04:25 |
| Bob_Dole | So, installing Xen... I'm assuming I need to do something in command line to install it? I don't see anything in the GUI Add/Remove for actually installing xen, just a gui to manage it | 04:25 |
| korjata | ed_debian: you know how you can put a file into a subfolder instantly? | 04:25 |
| Bob_Dole | sudo apt-get install xen ? | 04:25 |
| ed_debian | korjata, O, yes I know what you mean. Moving files around on a single disk never takes anytime. It is acting as if they are the same disk? | 04:26 |
| Bob_Dole | !xen | 04:26 |
| ubottu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 04:26 |
| albech | i am having a problem with a client that request and drop dhcp leases every 2-3 minutes.. what can cause this? | 04:27 |
| korjata | ed_debian: maybe it's because they're the same filesystem. | 04:27 |
| ed_debian | korjata, How full is "Local Disk" ? | 04:27 |
| albech | the lease expire time is 24hours | 04:27 |
| Fezzler | Is there a command line to tell me version of Ubuntu on this PC I am using? | 04:27 |
| lstarnes | Fezzler: lsb_release -a | 04:27 |
| poboy975 | yeah, the laptop wireless is on, but the driver is not loading correctly. I've tried the b43legacy driver, it connects to wireless ap but signel isnt right, doesnt actually work | 04:27 |
| korjata | ed_debian: 19 gigs but the files are 13 | 04:27 |
| ForLife | Hello | 04:28 |
| poboy975 | I also tried the ndiswrapper but its not working either. my iwconfig shows a wmaster0, and a wlan0 | 04:28 |
| ed_debian | so it is mostly full | 04:28 |
| ed_debian | korjata, open gparted | 04:28 |
| Fezzler | lstarnes, Jauty | 04:28 |
| korjata | I am. | 04:28 |
| mobi-sheep | poboy975: What's model? I'll try and google around on Ubuntu community. | 04:28 |
| korjata | ed_debian: says 621 megs are used | 04:29 |
| ed_debian | korjata, on local-disk? | 04:29 |
| Fezzler | Using Xchat. Where do I change color for my user I - light gray now - hard to see | 04:29 |
| poboy975 | it was using the broadcom 1400 dell | 04:29 |
| korjata | ed_debian: yep sdb | 04:29 |
| poboy975 | I was wondering if there is a way to reset the network completly back to fresh install setting | 04:30 |
| ed_debian | korjata, So obviously something is wrong because it should be 13gb used 6(ish)GB free yes? | 04:30 |
| mobi-sheep | Fezzler: Look in XChat Menu --> System --> Preferences --> Colors ("Under Interface") | 04:30 |
| korjata | ed_debian: it's 30 gigs but yeah. | 04:30 |
| ed_debian | o ok | 04:30 |
| ed_debian | korjata, What is the mount-point of sdb? | 04:31 |
| Fezzler | mobi-sheep>> Txs | 04:31 |
| quitenormal | hi. I bought a USB HDD enclosure, that powers down automatically when it's not in use. Unfortunately ubuntu drops it from the file system whenever it does that, and I can't get it back. Anybody know how I can fix this? | 04:31 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Does it show up that /dev/sdb is 30GB? | 04:31 |
| korjata | ed_debian: media/localdisk | 04:31 |
| korjata | ed_debian: 27.95 | 04:31 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: remount it? | 04:31 |
| quitenormal | colonelqubit doesn't seem to appear in nautilus. | 04:31 |
| ed_debian | korjata, Do you have a /media/localdisk and a /media/Local\ Disk? | 04:32 |
| Computer_Man | any ideas on where to get a drive for a dell gx260 video card so that I can use compiz? | 04:32 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I don't think so. | 04:32 |
| ed_debian | go to /media and double check? | 04:32 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: but the drive is still getting power? | 04:32 |
| zerkalous | i have a problem with my webcam | 04:32 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I have a local disk and a portable disk but that's something else. | 04:33 |
| quitenormal | colonelqubit yeah the drive is in a USB enclosure, and is still getting power ... if I switch it off, and then back on again, it reappears in the filesystem. | 04:33 |
| korjata | ed_debian: I got a 320 external. | 04:33 |
| zerkalous | i can't install my webcam.. is a genius messenger 112 | 04:33 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: so you want it to wake-on-use? | 04:33 |
| Fezzler | mobi-sheep>> I'm in Xchat Setting, Preferences, Interface, Colors - but which setting changes my ID? | 04:33 |
| quitenormal | colonelqubit yes, that's the hope. | 04:33 |
| korjata | ed_debian: can we continue this tomorrow? it's quite late here. | 04:34 |
| Fezzler | mobi-sheep>> Must be "Local colors" | 04:34 |
| mobi-sheep | Fezzler: Look at the color that you don't like. | 04:34 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: yeah, I don't have any USB drives like that, so I'm not sure if that's supported by Ubuntu. Have you tried it under Windows and had the wake-on-use work? | 04:34 |
| ed_debian | korjata, o sorry. Sure I can't guarantee I'l be here but I'll try. Same time tomorrow? | 04:34 |
| ed_debian | What time is it there? | 04:34 |
| Fezzler | mobi-sheep>> Yup | 04:34 |
| ed_debian | it is 10:34 here | 04:34 |
| quitenormal | colonelqubit no I haven't tried it under windows. Don't think I have a windows handy anywhere currently, alas. :( | 04:34 |
| ed_debian | (pm) | 04:35 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: good for you! (of course, it does come in handy when trying to diagnose hardware like this...) | 04:35 |
| Fezzler | mobi-sheep>> Hmm | 04:36 |

| sysadmin | how can I restore wireless connection icon? I erased it by mistake and dont know how to put it back | 04:40 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: yes. I just wanted to make sure that this hardware could in fact wake up | 04:40 |
| ed_debian | sysadmin, add a gnome-notification applet | 04:40 |
| quitenormal | colonelqubit might try and work that out then. Thanks. | 04:40 |
| Dreamglider | ed_debian, no such file or dir | 04:40 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: you could try googling for "usb wake up" + the hardware name, too. | 04:40 |
| ed_debian | sysadmin, "notification area" | 04:40 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: good luck! | 04:40 |
| raevol | gparted isn't letting me label a fat32 thumb drive i have :[ any ideas why? | 04:40 |
| quitenormal | colonelqubit at least the device switches off ... so I'm in no danger of my HD burning out if I accidentally leave it on. That's something. | 04:40 |
| sysadmin | ed_debian, could you be more specific | 04:40 |
| raevol | the option is greyed out, drive is unmounted | 04:41 |
| stillinbeta | hi, I installed kubuntu desktop using aptitude install kubuntu-desktop on top of my vanilla Ibex install and I can't seem to remove it. I already tried aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop | 04:41 |
| ed_debian | Dreamglider, o, you're right. I don't know :( | 04:41 |
| ed_debian | sysadmin, You have a gnome-panel?> | 04:41 |
| colonelqubit | quitenormal: yeah, I was having a problem with ubuntu not actually turning off when I shut down the computer. Luckily I never tossed my laptop into my backpack after doing that.... could have been an oven in there. | 04:41 |
| Dreamglider | cd .. | 04:41 |

| ed_debian | Dreamglider, Yeah I'm sorry I just don't know :( lol, I tried though! | 04:43 |
| Dreamglider | i have a couple of files in trash i cant get rid of | 04:43 |
| ed_debian | Dreamglider, I think restarting will empty trash? | 04:44 |
| Dreamglider | ed_debian, the files have been there for weeks | 04:44 |
| ed_debian | Dreamglider, I should really stop talking out of my butt here | 04:44 |

| Dreamglider | colonelqubit, yes | 04:46 |

| ehtesh | when i am doing fresh installation, it is asking for username and password to login.... | 04:52 |
| ehtesh | i am giving root, toor | 04:52 |
| ehtesh | and many more usernames passowrds, but it is not working | 04:52 |
| ehtesh | any solution please.... | 04:52 |
| unop_ | Decessus, one contains a mapping of devices to mountpoints for mount to use, the other contains the list of devices currently mounted and where they are mounted at. | 04:52 |
| ehtesh | please help me.... | 04:52 |
| ehtesh | what username and password should i use.... | 04:53 |
| ehtesh | is there any default user | 04:53 |
| unop_ | ehtesh, boot up in recovery mode and create a new user. | 04:53 |
| colonelqubit | ehtesh: during the install process it asks you for a username and password. use that | 04:53 |
| ehtesh | i will try it.... | 04:53 |
| colonelqubit | ehtesh: (it asks you to _create_ a user, I should say) | 04:53 |
| unop_ | colonelqubit, that's all good if the person installing .. remembers what it was called :) | 04:54 |
| colonelqubit | unop_: yeah, writing it down isn't a bad idea | 04:55 |
| colonelqubit | unop_: I mean, if this is a new install, then we're only talking about an hour max between creating the user and logging in as them, eh? | 04:56 |
| ehtesh | I dont have any OS on my Hard disk... | 04:56 |
| ehtesh | and i am trying to install | 04:57 |
| ehtesh | a new OS | 04:57 |
| unop_ | ehtesh, you mean the live CD session is asking you to log on? | 04:57 |
| devil_angel | ehtesh: enter isn't puncuation. | 04:57 |
| Amer | I am having trouble booting from a bootable DVD | 04:57 |
| Amer | it tells me boot image not found | 04:57 |
| ehtesh | i think it is Live CD, but i am selecting start or install option | 04:57 |
| crzyboi | Amer: have u set ur bios to boot from your cd/dvd drive? | 04:58 |
| ehtesh | but i dont have any punctuations | 04:58 |
| ehtesh | yes... | 04:58 |
| Decessus | unop_, ok, thank you, then would adding my usb device to mstab auto-mount it when I plug it in? | 04:58 |
| colonelqubit | ehtesh: Is this a regular ubuntu Live CD, or an alternate install CD? | 04:58 |
| ehtesh | it is booting from CD, for installation, but it is asking for username and passwd | 04:58 |
| Amer | yes I set it to boot from the DVD.. it tells me the boot image was not found,, then displays "boot:" | 04:58 |
| Amer | that's all I get | 04:58 |
| ehtesh | it is Install CD , i beleave, i got a copy from my friend... | 04:59 |
| Decessus | and /only/ when I plug it in, because adding to auto tag to it in fstab mounts it again after I physically unmount it | 04:59 |
| crzyboi | Amer: you can try two things... try the alternate disk or burn the disk at a slower speed | 04:59 |
| devil_angel | Amer: have you tried another DVD? | 04:59 |
| ehtesh | i have only one CD... | 04:59 |
| ehtesh | and nothing else... | 04:59 |
| Amer | the DVD I made boots from my other computer, but not this one.. | 04:59 |
| unop_ | Decessus, well, you should never edit /etc/mtab directly .. you need /etc/fstab for that - but doing so doesn't guarantee that the device is automatically mounted, you just ensure that if it is, it is mounted where you want it to be. | 04:59 |
| ehtesh | it is going upto log-in ... | 05:00 |
| crzyboi | Amer: then you might want to try the alternate disk | 05:00 |
| ehtesh | i have'nt doen anything from OS...bcz i can not at all login.... | 05:00 |
| Amer | what's the alternate disk? "I burned the 9.05 iso from the website" | 05:00 |
| ehtesh | i too think so, but as i dont have any alternative, i want to know how can we use this CD... | 05:01 |
| Decessus | unop_, ok, well is there something I /can/ edit to /ensure/ my device gets auto-mounted? It was working well and fine up until yesterday. | 05:01 |
| ehtesh | any default username and password ubuntu has? | 05:01 |
| crzyboi | Amer: hold on lemme find it | 05:01 |
| ehtesh | yep | 05:01 |
| phobiac | How do you install a module? | 05:02 |
| sagaci | can someone help me install/upgrade to rhythmbox-0.12.2, http://paste.ubuntu.com/185385/ | 05:02 |
| phobiac | I have a driver file for something, but I can't remember the process of installing it. | 05:02 |
| phobiac | modprobe? | 05:02 |
| Amer | thanks!! | 05:02 |
| crzyboi | Amer: go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors and scroll down to alternate installers | 05:02 |
| unop_ | Decessus, well, the gnome-mount process should automatically take care of that | 05:03 |
| crzyboi | Amer: you'll have to go through the install process through a text based installer | 05:03 |
| Decessus | unop_, I know it should, and it used to. But now, it has stopped working. It will auto-mount my disc media, but no usb storage media | 05:04 |
| ehtesh | but it is also a text based installation CD... | 05:06 |
| ehtesh | my concern is to break this mystery of username ans password issue to work | 05:07 |
| ehtesh | i googled and found many people got this kind of problem... | 05:07 |
| Amer | sure, I'll do that! | 05:07 |
| crzyboi | ehtesh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770206 | 05:07 |

| poboy975 | hello so does anyone know how to restore network setting back to fresh install state? | 05:08 |
| wigglez | what do i type in at the boot: prompt to boot a ubuntu jaunty installation | 05:09 |
| wigglez | my damn grub is broken | 05:09 |
| wigglez | i need to get back into ubuntu to fix it | 05:09 |
| zenxr | wigglez you can either use a live cd to repair it, or you can boot from hard drive via the live cd | 05:11 |
| wigglez | nah the MBR is broken on my HD | 05:11 |
| zenxr | other than that it'd be really hard to fix it, you'd have to edit the grub menu in the grub bootup | 05:11 |
| wigglez | i need to repair the mbr somehow | 05:11 |
| zenxr | can you not re-install grub? | 05:12 |
| wigglez | nah, i should be able to boot into the system at the boot prompt and then just run grub-setup once inside | 05:12 |
| wigglez | i just dont know what the correct boot line would be | 05:12 |
| * alvarezp is away: | 05:13 | |
| zenxr | I can't really help without your grub menu though :p | 05:14 |
| JECHO | wiggles message me privately | 05:15 |
| JECHO | wiggles i can give you the correct line | 05:15 |

| darlek | reqon, who cares | 05:22 |
| albech | genii, im not quite sure if it is.. i wasnt aware that the clients could ignore the lease time from the dhcp server | 05:23 |

| Daystar | hi, i need help burning ubuntu onto a cd. The iso i downloaded was 699 MB but my cd only fits 656. should i burn it anyway? | 05:30 |
| KDewhirst | Daystar: no, it won't work | 05:30 |
| dsl579 | whats the command to remove a whole directory | 05:30 |
| Daystar | should i burn it onto a dvd then? or what.. | 05:30 |
| sagaci | rmdir | 05:30 |
| usser | dsl579, rm -r directory | 05:30 |
| tiyowan | Daystar: Get a 700 MB CD. | 05:30 |
| KDewhirst | dsl579: rm -r (name of directory) | 05:30 |
| KDewhirst | be careful | 05:30 |
| tiyowan | Daystar: And burn the ISO onto that. | 05:30 |
| SnowKitty | hey | 05:31 |
| bc | KDewhirst: I'm not entirely sure what defines 'urgent' but if it's in the window information, try checking with xwininfo | 05:31 |
| usser | dsl579, make sure you type the directory name correctly, rm -r is irreversible | 05:31 |
| SnowKitty | does anybody else have problems with firefox in full screen mode? | 05:31 |
| KDewhirst | bc: thank you | 05:31 |
| SnowKitty | when i right click the screen bugs out for a sec | 05:31 |
| dsl579 | oh its stuff on a usb flash i dnt need anyone it | 05:31 |
| genii | dsl579: The rm command has recursive switch of -r which can be EXTREMELY dangerous. Use with caution | 05:31 |
| sagaci | SnowKitty: no | 05:31 |
| bc | KDewhirst: only a guess, hope it leads somewhere :) | 05:31 |
| KDewhirst | bc: I'll let you know if i find it. Thank you | 05:31 |
| SnowKitty | any idea what could be wrong? | 05:31 |
| Daystar | could i do this through a USB? | 05:31 |
| sagaci | Daystar: yes | 05:32 |
| SnowKitty | its like the screen disappears for half a sec and i can see my desktop, it reappears and the right clcok thingy shows up | 05:32 |
| SnowKitty | *click | 05:32 |
| KDewhirst | Daystar: use unetbootin if you're going to make an iso | 05:32 |
| SnowKitty | im on 9.04 | 05:32 |
| KDewhirst | Daystar: er-- a live usb | 05:32 |
| tiyowan | Daystar: There's an application called unetbootin for getting the iso onto a USB drive. | 05:32 |
| SnowKitty | and my firefox is 3.0.1.0 | 05:32 |

| SnowKitty | what's that? >.> | 05:33 |
| rikki_max | zethero1: u can use wine + mono to run the app | 05:33 |
| sagaci | SnowKitty: compiz effects | 05:33 |
| SnowKitty | how do i check? | 05:33 |
| dsl579 | ok im in /mnt/sda1 and i want to get rid of the entire contents of the flash drive whats a nice command to use? | 05:33 |

| Daystar | thanks | 05:34 |
| genii | dsl579: The problem is if we give you the exact command it's a dangerous one to say in open channel | 05:34 |

| Anacranom | SnowKitty, let me guess, u have ATI graphix? | 05:41 |
| SnowKitty | yes | 05:41 |
| KDewhirst | Decessus: you could put your mount in /etc/fstab if you always want it mounted on startup | 05:41 |
| relentless | Why would you want mount in the sudoers :/ | 05:42 |
| SmithKurosaki | SnowKitty: its not on by default, only getting compiz will keep it | 05:42 |
| SnowKitty | radeon 9800 iirc | 05:42 |
| bc | SnowKitty: use the command line tool ccsm to enable specific parts of compiz | 05:42 |
| SnowKitty | or was it 9600... | 05:42 |
| genii | relentless: You don't. You want to add the mount command in sudoers to a list which username is allowed to run without needing password. | 05:42 |
| Decessus | KDewhirst, its a thumb drive, I don't want it to constantly be mounted, only when I insert it, and I want it to stay unmounted when I unmount it. | 05:42 |
| bc | SnowKitty: if you don't have it, the package name is simple-ccsm | 05:42 |
| Anacranom | SnowKitty, ATI does not support compiz as of yet, they say that by june they will...... | 05:43 |

| KDewhirst | sagaci: you can change your repo if it's a really big deal | 05:56 |
| tiyowan | sere: 2.6.29.4 | 05:56 |
| Myrtti | sagaci: what features do you want from the latest version that makes you want to compile it? | 05:57 |
| Bob_Dole | So, I totally just installed xen on my system..and X broke. in a way that prevents me from getting to a virtual terminal, and running xfix from the recovery mode thing doesn't help. | 05:57 |
| toypilot | Greyed out? | 05:57 |
| sagaci | so i've started building this thing, can you give me a rough estimate of time? | 05:57 |
| toypilot | or just missing | 05:57 |
| Myrtti | sagaci: no. | 05:57 |
| sere | tiyowan: how can i get that on hardy | 05:57 |
| KDewhirst | sagaci: there are too many factors. it'll take longer than you want to wait, though | 05:57 |
| sagaci | 2 hours? | 05:58 |
| KDewhirst | sagaci: it could easily be a lot more than that | 05:58 |
| tiyowan | sere: Um...you want to get the latest kernel on hardy? | 05:58 |
| darlek | sarah, i used wicd to find wifi connections but it unloads network-manager in order to run. | 05:58 |
| Bob_Dole | I should probably get to backing stuff up and then just flat out format and reinstall. | 05:58 |
| sere | tiyowan: should i not? | 05:58 |
| Myrtti | sagaci: why do you want the newer version? | 05:58 |
| sagaci | can i abort the build without screwing things up | 05:58 |
| sagaci | test it out | 05:58 |
| Sarah_ | darlek: Already tried wicd but I cannot run it | 05:58 |
| KDewhirst | Bob_Dole: why don't you just pick a vanilla linux kernel from grub? | 05:58 |
| darlek | oh...odd | 05:59 |
| Bob_Dole | KDewhirst: I did | 05:59 |
| tiyowan | sere: It's better if you just let it update to newer kernels by itself. | 05:59 |
| KDewhirst | Bob_Dole: then you can just apt-get remove xen | 05:59 |
| Affliction | Hey guys, I'm having a problem that I hope someone could help me out with. I went to change my default shell using CLI from bourne to bash by using the following command "sudo usermod -s /bin/bash username". I logged out and upon logging back into my account I received a permission denied error. Is there something that I have done wrong? I'm using Ubuntu Desktop 9.04. Thanks in advance. | 05:59 |
| Bob_Dole | KDewhirst: I did...I have no idea what broke, but something did. I've gone so far as to make a new install over the old one, once fg..whatever the ati drive is was installed, x quit working again. | 06:00 |
| sagaci | Myrtti: can i abort it? | 06:00 |
| sere | tiyowan: 6.24-23 is whats its telling me to upgrade too...sound right | 06:00 |
| KDewhirst | Bob_Dole: what a mess. I don't know how to help you | 06:00 |
| Sarah_ | To be clear: I can configure the network connections from /etc/network/interfaces, I can see the networks with iwlist. I just cannot configure & choose the connections from the network manager | 06:00 |
| Sarah_ | or the icon in the desktop toolbar | 06:00 |
| KDewhirst | sagaci: you can kill the compile if you want | 06:01 |
| Sarah_ | (there I see no configured connections) | 06:01 |
| sagaci | it's finished, only took 10 minutes | 06:01 |
| sagaci | roughly | 06:01 |
| toypilot | need to run as root? | 06:01 |

| sillycat98 | You can enable root under login window i think. | 06:24 |

| parker-fcnyu | Myrtti, I agree! everything seems like it's working except... it's not! | 06:25 |
| intx | is it the same in every install? or is it generated randomly? | 06:25 |
| darlek | AlexKpow: only if a sound has already been assigned. If it's blank then no sound can play as there is no association. Click the "Sounds" tab and hit the play buttons beside each sound. Try the defaults | 06:25 |

| ProfOak | you know how you can see kanji details? Well in Windows it has two font faces, and in linux the first font face goes away. I'm just wondering how to get it back. | 06:59 |
| darlek | ProfOak: can you give me an example to look up? I've only used Linux with jisho, so I'm lacking the comparison | 07:00 |

| Amer | sorry.. | 07:00 |
| darlek | ProfOak: are you saying you can't see the text or that only the font is different? | 07:00 |
| tiyowan | Amer: :) | 07:00 |
| Amer | why isn't the "/msg" working for me ? | 07:01 |
| ProfOak | I can see the kanji text, I just want to have the other font because it makes the kanji more clear to me. | 07:01 |
| Amer | I'm using irssi on windows | 07:01 |
| Amer | I like the text based clients.. lol | 07:02 |

| darlek | ProfOak: you might need the font in kanji and then jisho might select it rather than the current one. but you'd have to know which one. lots to choose from!! | 07:04 |
| crono5788 | Hello, I am having trouble figuring out which volume dial I need to use to get my audio input to... record again. It was working fine, then I pressed a bunch of buttons in the Volume Control applet and broke it and now I am very confused | 07:05 |
| darlek | ProfOak: it's probably just defaulting to whatever is available | 07:05 |
| TeenySHAD0W | okay. gnome simply isn't starting up right. | 07:05 |

| songer | I'm Tring to instal limewire | 07:10 |
| songer | but my Installaytion ain't progress | 07:11 |
| sudobash | bluewook what kind of platform is the NAS on? | 07:11 |
| bluewook | sudobash: as far as ftp/smb or whatever is concerned or | 07:12 |
| Severian | Howdy. Are there any Ubuntu One users out there who would send me an invite? | 07:12 |
| sudobash | yes | 07:12 |
| bluewook | it has both | 07:12 |
| sudobash | sudo apt-get install smbfs | 07:12 |
| sydneyguy | Hail all | 07:12 |
| sudobash | sudo apt-get install samba | 07:12 |
| sudobash | if you want to be able to share yourself | 07:13 |
| bluewook | sudobash: yeah i want to be able to like go around to the coffee shop and still access what is on my NAS | 07:13 |
| sudobash | Goto Places->Network or Connect to Server if you have IO | 07:13 |
| sudobash | IP | 07:13 |
| sudobash | oh | 07:13 |
| bluewook | i can access it perfectly fine | 07:13 |
| bluewook | at my LAN | 07:13 |
| songer | what can I do? if my installation can't progress | 07:13 |
| sudobash | you would have to use some type of ftp or tunnel | 07:13 |
| sudobash | vpn maybe? | 07:13 |
| bluewook | oh really | 07:14 |
| sudobash | VNC | 07:14 |
| sudobash | there are a whole bunch of ways | 07:14 |
| toypilot | VNC over ssh tunnel | 07:14 |
| toypilot | easiest way | 07:14 |
| bluewook | how would i go about doing that | 07:14 |
| toypilot | download putty | 07:14 |
| client | hello all | 07:14 |
| client | nick Apekjongoss | 07:14 |
| === client is now known as Apekjongoss | ||
| toypilot | then connect to your server over port 22 | 07:15 |
| toypilot | have to open up ports in of course | 07:15 |
| sudobash | VNC byself should suffice but tunnel just makes it secure | 07:15 |
| Apekjongoss | any malay here in | 07:15 |
| toypilot | in putty, in your connection you can create a tunnel over ports 5900, 5901 | 07:15 |
| toypilot | then you connect to localhost with vnc client | 07:15 |
| bluewook | toypilot: i set my ftp port differently would i have to adjust that then | 07:15 |
| sudobash | if you are already using 22 yes | 07:16 |
| sup3rs3nior | i am having a hard time configuring proftpd in ubuntu server 9.04 | 07:16 |
| sudobash | or change the ssh port | 07:16 |
| toypilot | ftp and ssh are different | 07:16 |
| sudobash | ssh Secure SHell | 07:16 |
| songer | I need help I'm tring to install limewire but my installation can't progress | 07:16 |
| sudobash | ftp File Transfer proto | 07:16 |
| bluewook | gotcha | 07:16 |
| sudobash | songer did you install wine? | 07:16 |
| songer | no | 07:17 |
| sudobash | sudo apt-get install wine | 07:17 |
| sup3rs3nior | what is a good ftp server package? | 07:17 |
| toypilot | but ftp not needed | 07:17 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, vsftp | 07:17 |
| sudobash | then try and run your little limewire app | 07:17 |
| toypilot | unless you want to lock a user into a certain directory | 07:17 |
| daglees | I have 4GB of RAM and my ubuntu system is not really fast | 07:17 |
| toypilot | proftp | 07:17 |

| sudobash | dagless go to system-> administration-> services | 07:17 |
| toypilot | but bluewook, I will get you a tutorial | 07:17 |
| sup3rs3nior | progtp or vsftp.. i cant find vsftp and i already have proftp installed | 07:17 |
| bluewook | haha great i appreciate that | 07:18 |
| toypilot | or just google, VNC over SSH tunnel | 07:18 |
| sudobash | and take off what is not needed like bluetooth if you don't have bluetooth etc... | 07:18 |
| sudobash | visual assistant | 07:18 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, vsftpd is in the ubuntu repositories. | 07:18 |
| toypilot | theres loads of VNC servers you can use | 07:18 |
| bluewook | i'll try google first and come to you if i can't find something useful | 07:18 |
| sup3rs3nior | can i use apt get to install it? | 07:18 |
| daglees | sudobash, ok, I'll take a look at that | 07:18 |
| bluewook | thanks toypilot and sudobash | 07:18 |
| toypilot | worst part is setting the ports, but you can connect without SSH, but its bad... anyone can snoop your password. The SSH makes sure your connecting over an encrypted session | 07:19 |
| sudobash | sudo apt-get install vsftpd | 07:19 |

| Severian | sup3rs3nior, yes. Uninstall proftpd first. Otherwise they will both be trying to use the same ports by default. | 07:19 |
| songer | how can instal java? | 07:19 |
| daglees | Yeah I had already disabled unecessary services | 07:19 |
| daglees | I run Eclipse. LAMP, Virtual Box though | 07:20 |

| daglees | Startup apps I didn't check | 07:20 |

| robtp | whats the difference in ccsm between horiz vsize and number of desktops? | 07:25 |
| ziroday | robtp: number of desktops is calculated by doing horizontal*vertical, you don't need to change that slider unless all the desktops you defined are not appering | 07:25 |
| robtp | ziroday, thanks | 07:25 |
| ziroday | robtp: also if you're using the cube then you can only have 1 vertical :) | 07:26 |

| p1oooop1 | achilles: LOL, NP | 07:36 |

| achilles | p1oooop, reconfigure the xserver didn't help | 07:36 |
| p1oooop1 | I was watching DVD anyway | 07:36 |
| fccf | eleite: I would look at the alsa compatibility chart - I am not sure if your card is supported --- google: ALSA compatibility | 07:36 |

| achilles | p1oooop, yeah I think so, do you mean reinstalling the driver ? | 07:37 |
| fccf | songerL check to see that the update manager isn't running, or apt-get or any other package managment - Gdebi? or aptitude | 07:38 |

| p1oooop1 | achilles: ahh, I see | 07:40 |
| darlek | songer: : check it with ps aux | grep -i thepackagemanagername, then kill it ... or run top hit, 'k' and type the process number, then 9, | 07:40 |

| darlek | oh a menu option, thanks fccf, i didn't know that one haha.. cli forever | 07:41 |

| p1oooop1 | achilles: I remember there is a guide to uninstalling VIA terminal | 07:42 |
| SkyNetMaster | any ideas how to brake usb port free? | 07:42 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: it was probably working on the drivers that were there... | 07:43 |
| robtp | SkyNetMaster: which port is it? | 07:43 |

| sup3rs3nior | has anyone configured vsftp before? | 07:45 |
| robtp | also - do people use deskbar and gnome-do complementarily? or do they serve the same function? | 07:45 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: one way to remove is sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx | 07:45 |
| darlek | fccf...sweet... I'm just happy I've been able to install ubuntu 8 times on this computer... a PIII lappy with 512MB.. doing fine in Jaunty!! | 07:45 |
| Gamarok__ | i prefer alt+f2 than gnome | 07:46 |
| robtp | Gamarok__: you mean alt+f2 instead of either of thoes? | 07:46 |
| Gamarok__ | *gnome do | 07:46 |
| fccf | darlekL Been there - still have 2 servers with that config, running for 3 years now | 07:46 |
| sup3rs3nior | Could someone at least point me to a good vsftp walk-through? | 07:47 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, I don't know of one. What is the problem? | 07:47 |
| tiyowan | sup3rs3nior: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ftp-server-walkthrough-117431/ ? | 07:48 |
| songer | darlek how can I make this symbol? | 07:48 |
| songer | I | 07:48 |
| sup3rs3nior | I cant make much sense of the config file.. | 07:48 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, There is very little in it you need to change. | 07:48 |
| Kartagis | sup3rs3nior, http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-ftp-vsftpd-conf.html too | 07:48 |
| fccf | songer - shift and the button above enter | 07:48 |
| darlek | fccf ... cool. I started with Breezy Badger and haven't looked back. I'm happy it's the software no the hardware that's the focus. As long as the MB lasts I guess.. | 07:48 |
| mib_8inabmjf | MB? | 07:49 |
| darlek | songer, do you mean "pipe"? It's about the Enter key, shift \ | 07:49 |
| darlek | MB = motherboard | 07:49 |
| fccf | darlek: those 2 servers have been through 3 hurricanes | 07:49 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, I am starting up my ftp machine and I can go over setting with you. | 07:49 |
| mib_8inabmjf | ah~.. | 07:49 |
| darlek | fccf. damn that's very cool. too bad there are no commercials out there on this stuff :( | 07:50 |
| sup3rs3nior | ok, the reason i need ftp access to my server is so i can set up notepad++ with it | 07:50 |
| fccf | darlek: more people know about ubuntu than you would think | 07:50 |
| robtp | anyone - gnome-do vs deskbar? | 07:51 |
| p1oooop1 | hey, would you guys believe me if I said I was 14 and using ubuntu fluently? | 07:51 |
| songer | ?? | 07:51 |

| robtp | curious how people use each? | 07:51 |
| ziroday | robtp: I use gnome-do | 07:51 |
| sup3rs3nior | i need to: 1. Set up a user, and 2. Set the dir to /var/www | 07:51 |

| Severian | sup3rs3nior, You setup the user like you setup any user on the computer. | 07:52 |

| p1oooop1 | anyone know a good factual editor for ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| sup3rs3nior | /usr/sbin adduser? | 07:53 |
| tiyowan | whatvn: Eloquent. | 07:53 |
| filippo | hello | 07:53 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, Why would an ftp server duplicate the functionality of user management. That would be odd. | 07:54 |
| robtp | electro: yeah - have no problems | 07:54 |
| fccf | !ask | filippo | 07:54 |
| p1oooop1 | sup3rs3nior: no, something else | 07:54 |

| bullgard4 | Whre can I find a comprehensive introduction to ALSA? | 07:54 |
| p1oooop1 | bullgard4: it's kinda implicit subject... | 07:55 |
| fccf | !alsa | bullgard4 | 07:55 |
| ubottu | bullgard4: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:55 |
| p1oooop1 | that works ^^ | 07:55 |
| sup3rs3nior | could i use my regular user to access via ftp? | 07:55 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, Are you doing everything through the command line as an excercise? Or, do you only have ssh access? You can setup the user with adduser, sure. Then, you need to set its home directory to /var/www and the shell to /bin/null | 07:55 |
| sup3rs3nior | ssh access | 07:55 |
| p1oooop1 | sup3rs3nior: you can always do remote desktop :D | 07:56 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, I don't know what you are asking at the end, there. | 07:56 |
| sup3rs3nior | no gui lol | 07:56 |

| FabParma | I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M10. Everytyng it's fine a part the reboot. When I reboot Ubuntu, the system still blocked for hours wit black screen. To reeboot Ubuntu I have to press the poer butto for 4 seconds to switch off and then press once to start. Is there some fix about that? | 07:57 |
| sup3rs3nior | i think a gui would slow it down.. | 07:57 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, then, use adduser. But, I don't know where you set the home directory and shell. | 07:57 |
| p1oooop1 | sup3rs3nior: true | 07:57 |
| p1oooop1 | sup3rs3nior: you can configure it only to start on your command | 07:57 |
| p1oooop1 | sup3rs3nior: :D | 07:57 |
| sup3rs3nior | so vsftp does not manage users and home directories for ftp access only? | 07:57 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, Whether to have a gui or not is your decision. I like to setup a lightweight one like openbox on servers. | 07:57 |
| p1oooop1 | sup3rs3nior: just trying to help :D | 07:58 |
| sup3rs3nior | for example, if i installed filezilla server on a windows machine, i use filezilla to set up users.. in vsftp, i go about this in a different way? | 07:59 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, vsftpd lets you configure user access in two ways. You can decide whether to allow anonymous access and where that will be. And you decide whether users can login to ftp. For each class of user you decice whether they have read only access or read/write. It is quite flexible. | 07:59 |
| fccf | Sevenan: I use a full ubuntu gnome gui over VNC on my server - which has a head on it as well - works really well | 07:59 |
| sup3rs3nior | this is all done through the config file, correct? | 08:00 |
| pooky | Hello again, I have a short and to be honest stupid question,...yet again..I have this digital camera ( the Canon G9) And Well When I connect it to the laptop it doesn't work! the laptop doesn't want to recognize it! but when I use my cybershot (sony) it recognizes it! | 08:00 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, It sounds like filezilla is sloppy. I doubt their user security is as strong as that built into Linux. | 08:00 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, most aspects are configured through the vsftpd.conf file. User setup is done in the OS. | 08:01 |
| tiyowan | pooky: Your question isn't stupid - perhaps the Canon G9 isn't supported? | 08:01 |
| protivv | anyone know what package works well to play videos online like youtube? | 08:01 |
| fccf | pooky: that is a little wierd - But I would reccommend getting a usb card reader - you will be able to read the data of the card | 08:01 |
| sup3rs3nior | so use the "adduser" command? | 08:02 |
| Gamarok__ | howdy fellas | 08:02 |
| Severian | fccf, I do that sometimes, too. It depends on who will be accessing the server, how loaded I expect it to be and how I am feeling that day. Gnome is not that bad a load for modern CPUs. | 08:02 |
| pooky | fccf, do you know how much does it cost aprox.? | 08:02 |
| Gamarok__ | !flash | 08:02 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 08:02 |
| whatvn | sup3rs3nior: read vsftp document | 08:02 |
| pooky | Tiyowan, do you know a bypass to this? | 08:03 |
| fccf | pooky: I can get one for like $5US on ebay | 08:03 |
| sup3rs3nior | the vsftp documentation was of no help | 08:03 |
| towlie_ | im on ubuntu 7.10 (yea i know its old). if update manager it gives me the option to update to 8.04. is there a way to do something to upgrade to the newest version of ubuntu ? | 08:03 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, As I said multiple times before, that is yes. But, I can't tell you offhand how to set the user shell and home directories for that user. | 08:03 |
| whatvn | sup3rs3nior: you didn't read carefully | 08:04 |
| tiyowan | pooky: I'd follow fccf's suggestion - instead of directly connecting the camera to your machine, take out the card and pop it in a reader. | 08:04 |
| === sandeep is now known as Guest76123 | ||
| Severian | towlie_, Yes, you upgrade to 8.04, then 8.10, then 9.04 | 08:04 |

| towlie_ | ok | 08:04 |
| myself | how do I increase the max volume in ubuntu, alsamixer and volume control master volume are all maxed | 08:04 |
| Severian | towlie_, Nope. You could just install 9.04 and wipe the disk.. Backup what is important before hand and restore it. | 08:05 |
| fccf | myself: are you using a laptop | 08:05 |
| pooky | fccf...I'm not E-bay buyer...I'm very "anti" E-bay even if I've bought some stuff from them, it's just i don't think it's safe..,but anyway Ok I'll look for one. | 08:05 |

| towlie_ | Severian, the update quits suddenly with no error. any idea why ? | 08:06 |

| p1oooop1 | myself: so, did you set to max in music player? | 08:07 |

| sup3rs3nior | but it doesnt want to use it.. | 08:10 |
| Severian | towlie_, I don't know why it would stop. Sometimes, it is because it ran out of disk space. I would try the upgrade from the command line. It should give you better errors. | 08:10 |
| towlie_ | how do i do it from the command line | 08:10 |
| whatvn | sup3rs3nior: you dont need to create home directory for vsftp user | 08:10 |

| songer | I can't close GDebi | 08:11 |
| fccf | songer: reboot | 08:11 |
| Severian | bluewook, We'll start with ftp. Do you want to use the standard ports for ftp? I'll assume yes for the moment. You need to go into your router and setup forwarding rules for ports 20 and 21. | 08:11 |
| sup3rs3nior | i was hoping to be able to access the /var/www folder via ftp.. does it need to be the home dir in order to access it via ftp? | 08:11 |

| p1oooop1 | songer: eventually, a box will pop out asking you to force quit | 08:13 |
| Severian | towlie_, apt-get something. I'll look up specifics when I get a break. Or, try googling for upgrade version ubuntu command line. I bet that finds the answer. | 08:13 |

| myself | Front | 08:13 |
| whatvn | sup3rs3nior: keep reading | 08:13 |

| achilles | p1oooop, did it, didn't work also. sorry for late message ;) | 08:14 |

| p1oooop1 | achilles: ahh, well that suckx | 08:14 |
| Severian | bluewook, I don't know what ftp server you are using. Some are vulnerable to hacking. vsftpd is pretty safe. If you are not using a good one, I would not leave those ftp ports open all the time. | 08:14 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: so, did it uninstall? | 08:15 |
| achilles | p1oooop, yeah , it did | 08:15 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: the ATI drivers | 08:15 |
| whatvn | sup3rs3nior: you can create home directory for vsftp user, ie /var/www/vsftpuser1 for user1 | 08:15 |
| bluewook | Severian: i don't know either haha | 08:15 |
| towlie_ | Severian, i am having problems find the right answer on upgrading | 08:15 |
| achilles | p1oooop, xorg-driver-fglrx yes | 08:15 |
| sup3rs3nior | what if i want to be able to edit all files in /var/www? | 08:15 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: hmm, then I guess it really is something with the X server | 08:15 |
| bluewook | Severian: it's just the server that came with the NAS box | 08:16 |
| Severian | bluewook, You have to pick one to forward to. But, each port can be different. You can forwart port 8124 on the external port of your router to port 22 on your machine and port 8125 to port 22 of the NAS. | 08:16 |
| bluewook | it's running off the NAS | 08:16 |
| whatvn | sup3rs3nior: it depends on what permission you give for that user | 08:16 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: were you able to see anything? | 08:16 |

| sup3rs3nior | ok i tried to connect to my server via filezilla and it said "anonymous only", does that mean im close? | 08:18 |
| achilles | p1oooop, :) let me see | 08:18 |
| Severian | towlie_, It should be sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:18 |
| achilles | p1oooop, what about this http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide | 08:18 |
| whatvn | sup3rs3nior: you must config vsftp to allow user to connect, what you did? | 08:18 |
| mattgyver | how can i extract a substring in bash? echo ${string:4} is returning a bad substitution, any ideas? | 08:19 |
| fccf | songer: type sudo top - look for gdebi and it's corresponding process # - type k Process# enter 9 enter | 08:19 |
| towlie_ | Severian, its saying 404 file not found for all packages... | 08:19 |
| bluewook | Severian: so i wouldn't want to do this or what | 08:19 |
| TeenySHAD0W | okay. if i manually launch gnome-wm and gnome-panel, all is right with the world; but why aren't they loading themselves, and what normally loads them? | 08:20 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, If you are setting up a user who only gets to do ftp. you set the users home directory to where you want ftp to see. In your case that was /var/www. Thenyou set the users default shell to /bin/null. That makes it so the user cannot login like a normal user. | 08:20 |
| whatvn | mattgyver: what string you want to extract? | 08:20 |
| Chaos101 | can anyone help me? I need to reset my proxy so that it is set to have no proxy, i tried going through prefs->netowrk proxy and changing it there but it doesnt work | 08:20 |

| protivv | anyone on jaunty and have a successful install of nvidia drivers? | 08:21 |
| protivv | i can find out which gpu drivers to use on jaunty, im afraid ill have to reformat if i mess up >< | 08:21 |
| p1oooop1 | protivv: successful ati somewhere in here | 08:21 |
| lokixza | I did, unfortunately I had to use the older drivers, 1.77 and 1.80 doesnt seem to be able to be enabled | 08:22 |
| sup3rs3nior | Severian: ok, now i need to set ftp access to something other than anonymous right? | 08:22 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: huh, so thats why your x1 didnt work :D | 08:22 |
| Severian | bluewook, I would not leave a relatively insecure ftp server exposed to the internet all the time. Leave it set up and just turn on the forwarding rules for a brief time when a friend needs to upload. Or, use a better ftp daemon on another machine. Or configure port knocking on your router(not for beginners) | 08:22 |
| achilles | p1oooop, what ? | 08:22 |
| Bodsda | Hi, sorry if this is considered offtopic but, my windows installation either bsod's or I get a disk read error from grub when i try to boot it, how can i run a chkdsk on the ntfs drive from ubuntu? is using e2fsck on it safe? | 08:22 |
| Severian | sup3rs3nior, I can't answer that. I don't know if you need anonymous ftp or not. | 08:23 |
| lokixza | Bodsda, that wont work | 08:23 |
| Bodsda | lokixza: well, any idea what will help? | 08:23 |
| darlek | how to cut all the leave/joined messages in xchat?? I've been using chatzilla in firefox but thought I'd give this one a try | 08:23 |
| p1oooop1 | achilles: seems they really did drop your version | 08:23 |
| Severian | towlie_, What version did you say you ran currently.? | 08:24 |
| sup3rs3nior | well its anonymous right now and that causes an error when i try to connect, i just have no idea what it should be instead of anonymous.. | 08:24 |

| Bodsda | fccf: yeah, but I fail to see how restoring ntldr to the mbr will help when that is not the problem | 08:25 |
| quklsls | there has got to be a way to recover that document | 08:25 |
| quklsls | its been less than 12 hours | 08:25 |
| quklsls | since i deleted it | 08:25 |
| darlek | mobi-sheep, thanks you're awesome | 08:25 |
| Slart | !recovery | quklsls | 08:25 |
| ubottu | quklsls: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 08:25 |
| p1oooop1 | quklsls: you can try browsing the tmp folder | 08:26 |
| Slart | quklsls: bah.. wrong factoid | 08:26 |
| mobi-sheep | darlek: Thanks. I know I'm awesome but don't forget... losher is awesome too. You heard that, right? :) | 08:26 |
| quklsls | i tried | 08:26 |
| Slart | quklsls: open synaptic, search for recover.. there are plenty of file recovery apps | 08:26 |
| darlek | losher is awesome too | 08:26 |
| quklsls | the problem is, i'm on xp right now | 08:26 |
| quklsls | i deleted it on xp | 08:26 |
| darlek | now that I can read the scroll, yeah | 08:26 |
| quklsls | i dualboot with ubuntu though | 08:26 |
| losher | darlek: cheers. Also. check out the xchat faq for other stuff it can do... | 08:26 |
| Slart | quklsls: and this channel is called #ubuntu.. for #ubuntu help | 08:26 |
| Bodsda | quklsls: you would need to ask in ##windows | 08:27 |
| p1oooop1 | kinda getting stressed... LOL | 08:27 |
| quklsls | slart i know bro | 08:27 |
| Slart | quklsls: so perhaps you should be in a channel called.. ##windows? | 08:27 |
| tannersummers_ | anyone use the ZSNES EMULATOR? | 08:27 |
| bluewook | Severian: well it can only be seen from inside the network i just want a way to connect to it via ftp securely. i would have to do those things if i wanted to do that? | 08:27 |
| quklsls | the people here are extremely knowledgeable though... | 08:27 |
| darlek | I"ve been using chatzilla, but xchat looks a bit more scriptable, and I'll probably do something in Ruby with it ;) | 08:27 |
| fccf | Bodsda: seems windows got screwed up - the recovery environment allows you access to the nuts and bolts of win -- what process causes BSOD anywhy | 08:27 |
| towlie_ | Severian, 7.10 | 08:27 |
| Slart | quklsls: doesn't really matter.. this channel is for ubuntu support only | 08:28 |
| mobi-sheep | darlek: I'm annoyed by join/host too but what I did was to edit the Text Events and remove hostnames so I see "mobi-sheep has Quit ("Leaving.")" --> Very simple. :) | 08:28 |
| Bodsda | fccf: no way of knowing, it flashes up for a second then reboots itself | 08:28 |
| bullgard4 | fccf: That is a more comprehensive introduction. -- Thank you for your help. | 08:28 |
| Severian | towlie_, I got that. I am doing some research. I'll be back. | 08:28 |
| towlie_ | ok | 08:28 |
| fccf | Bodsda: I'd backup the important stuff from ubuntu and reinstall win | 08:29 |
| Severian | bluewook, I don't understand. If you mean, you don't need port forward rules for use inside the LAN, then you are correct. | 08:29 |
| dumbkiwi | how can I save a file on a remote file system using the gnome file dialog without having to mount that file system? - like in the kde file dialog usinf kio slaves. | 08:29 |
| VIPman | help íóæåíà ïîìîøü | 08:29 |
| darlek | oh ho... text events... found it.. thanks mobi-sheep | 08:29 |
| Bodsda | fccf: cheers, but not what I want -- anyway, before the !ot police start shouting at me, il shut up... thanks anyway | 08:29 |
| bluewook | Severian: right, but i can set the FTP port on the NAS so wouldn't that narrow my chances of being hacked | 08:29 |
| VIPman | :o | 08:29 |
| fccf | !ask | VIPman | 08:29 |

| mattgyver | does ubuntu use bash? | 08:30 |
| Severian | bluewook, It helps a little. A good port scanner will still find it. | 08:30 |
| Slart | mattgyver: yes | 08:30 |
| p1oooop1 | mattgyver: you mean command line? | 08:30 |
| dumbkiwi | mattgyver: no it uses dash | 08:30 |
| mattgyver | Thank you | 08:30 |
| popey | it uses both | 08:30 |
| Slart | huh? | 08:30 |
| popey | sh links to dash | 08:30 |
| popey | default shell for users is bash | 08:31 |
| dumbkiwi | mattgyver: if you want to use pure bash, change the symlink for /bin/sh | 08:31 |
| Severian | mattgyver, It uses dash by default. It installs bash and you can change to that. | 08:31 |
| Slart | dumbkiwi: dash instead of sh.. bash for terminal | 08:31 |
| bluewook | Severian: and passwords don't do anything to stop them either | 08:31 |
| towlie_ | Severian, if you find the answer just hang on i gotta reboot | 08:31 |

| towlie_ | Severian, hang on its doing something | 08:40 |
| losher | towlie_: fat32 does not allow files greater than 4GB in size. If that's not a problem, then it has the advantage of being readable in both windows and linux. Personally, I'd prefer ext3 if its only going to contain Linux files | 08:41 |
| towlie_ | losher, well its gonna contain all kinda of stuff | 08:41 |

| sup3rs3nior | When I try to change a file name via ftp, it says access denied, but I own the file and when I check permissions it says i have write access. What gives? | 08:47 |
| p1oooop1 | :D | 08:47 |
| sup3rs3nior | "response 550: permission denied" | 08:48 |

| kenyon | StevenX: or sftp | 08:56 |
| rdw200169 | StevenX, ah, don't worry then. ubuntu will do it already. the easiest way to get in there, is using Places -> Connect to Server... | 08:56 |

| ignusb | hello. I've just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop from the live-cd, now getting "GRUB - Error 17" every time I try to boot. I've tried a filesystem check/repair on each of the partitions of the HDD it's installed on, I've tried re-installing/re-configuring GRUB, and it stays as just Error 17. My config is 3 HDD's, ubuntu installed on the 3rd HDD as seen in the BIOS, WXP installed on the 1st, I'd like to be able to dual boot. At the moment, | 09:09 |
| ignusb | I can't single boot however, so that would be a nice start. Any suggestions from anyone of what I can do next? | 09:09 |
| fccf | Bodsda - you will need to install gparted and ntfs-3g to work with ntfs and run a check on it | 09:10 |
| ManDay | When I addded the bookmark for the ftp it got added to my desktop by an ugly long name and places - how can i remove it? IO cant delete it from the desktop! | 09:10 |

| black_wolf_92 | ignusb. Post the output of your terminal for "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 09:10 |
| pooky | oui lol | 09:10 |
| darlek | ManDay: it's a link, so it can only be unmounted. Places and Nautilus can unmount it or rename it. | 09:11 |
| fccf | Bodsda: run gparted with ntfs unmounted . select the drive - upper right hand corner... right click on partition and check | 09:11 |
| uhriventis | It lets me do 1280X1080 but I have to scroll around. As if the res is to large | 09:11 |
| darlek | ManDay: not sure why it's even on the desktop though | 09:11 |

| bullgard4 | Synaptic: "For ALSA to work on a system with a given sound card, there must be an ALSA driver for that card in the kernel." My Audio device is 'Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)'. What is "the ALSA driver for that card" in the kernel? Is it "snd_hda_intel"? lsmod lists another 12 modules with 'snd' in their names. | 09:12 |

| ignusb | Slart: I can't work out what error 17 is, though it appears to be when GRUB can find the partition, but can't mount it for some reason, possibly that it doesn't recognise the FS. I used the ubuntu auto-partition thing, so it's set to ext3 | 09:13 |
| uhriventis | fccf: why does windows do it and openSUSE but not ubuntu? | 09:13 |

| ignusb | and black_wolf_92 seems to have left, but I have no idea how to bring up that file, it doesn't seem to exist on the local system, from what I typed. Guessing I'm going to have to mount something first | 09:14 |
| fccf | uhriventis: windows do what?? | 09:14 |
| Bodsda | fccf: shhh, its a learning experience -- slart is the helper btw | 09:14 |
| Slart | ignusb: did you have a pastebin of your /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 09:14 |
| ManDay | i cant resize the "Name" column in nautilus to take less than 80% of the screen, although there is no file with such a long name!! | 09:14 |
| ignusb | /boot/grub/menu.lst is a blank file | 09:14 |
| ManDay | and the tree view just wont come up | 09:14 |
| darlek | !grub | 09:14 |

| mobi-sheep | eseven73: Yes, he was spamming. He came in... spam away.... and left. | 09:14 |
| uhriventis | But, ubuntu has a problem for some reason | 09:15 |
| Slart | ignusb: blank? ehm.. that's bad.. really sure it's blank? | 09:15 |
| eseven73 | mobi-sheep, yep gotta love those hit-and-run spammers/trolls | 09:15 |
| mak_3 | hello all, can someone help me to transfer mails from Thunderbird installed in Windows to Thunderbird installed to Ubuntu | 09:15 |
| uhriventis | Along with Fedora, Debian, Redhat, they all have no problems | 09:15 |
| Slart | ignusb: what's the setup of your machine? ubuntu version? number of drives? separate partitions for things? | 09:15 |
| darlek | ManDay, lol man i don't know... Under Places.. Bookmarks.. does your server exist there? | 09:15 |
| uhriventis | Slax etc | 09:15 |
| ignusb | well, it opened in gedit, and there is nothing in the file. upon further investigation... /boot/grub does not exist | 09:15 |
| darlek | ManDay, as a link I mean | 09:16 |
| ignusb | unless I'm looking in the wrong drive, distinct possibility | 09:16 |
| ManDay | yes it does darlek | 09:16 |
| BlackWolf1 | gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:16 |
| BlackWolf1 | sorry for mistake | 09:16 |

| ManDay | darlek, i found a way to enable tree view. | 09:16 |
| uhriventis | No let me try now | 09:16 |
| songer | hey I did reboot but It says only one softwere management tool is allowed | 09:17 |
| bullgard4 | fccf: What do you mean by "correct"? Does you statement mean the others are in my kernel errorneously and can be removed without harm? | 09:17 |
| darlek | ManDay, oh? | 09:17 |
| ManDay | in the pereferences i checked "always open in browser window" | 09:17 |
| darlek | ManDay, cool | 09:17 |
| BlackWolf1 | so ignusb type [gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst] in the terminal | 09:17 |
| pooky | Hello, i have a camera problem again , i dowlaoded f-spot but it says in the source finding that it didn't detect a camera | 09:17 |
| bullgard4 | s/you/your/ | 09:17 |
| ManDay | i dont see the connection, but whatever | 09:17 |
| BlackWolf1 | it shouldn't be a blank file. If it IS you have a problem | 09:17 |
| uhriventis | Also, the monitor I use is old... A Gateway2000 | 09:17 |
| ManDay | so, now i need to get rid of the icon on my desktop | 09:17 |
| ignusb | ok, found it. I'm currently running from the live cd, I had to navigate to a different hdd where it's stored | 09:17 |
| fccf | songer: there is a lock in /var/lock/apt you will need to remove as root | 09:17 |
| BlackWolf1 | ah ok | 09:18 |
| BlackWolf1 | forgot that bit of info | 09:18 |
| Slart | ignusb: ah.. that would explain it.. so now you have a menu.lst file, right? | 09:18 |
| BlackWolf1 | now could you past this to a copy paste site | 09:18 |
| darlek | ManDay, which tab is that in prefs? | 09:18 |
| BlackWolf1 | and we can have a look from there | 09:18 |
| songer | fhow can I do that? | 09:18 |
| uhriventis | Detect displays does nothing | 09:18 |
| Slart | !pastebin | ignusb | 09:18 |
| mak_3 | hello all, can someone help me to transfer mails from Thunderbird installed on Windows to Thunderbird installed on Ubuntu??? | 09:18 |
| ubottu | ignusb: 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) | 09:18 |
| ignusb | I'm on IRC from my laptop, the desktop has a shifty NIC, not co-operating at the moment. different issue | 09:18 |
| ignusb | though I'll connect up and give it a go for that... | 09:18 |
| fccf | uhriventis: don't know what to tell you | 09:19 |
| BlackWolf1 | there are a lot of people who can help with grub problems, as they are fairly common. You will find a solution, its just that there are a lot of possibilites | 09:19 |
| ManDay | darlek, what do you mean which tab? | 09:19 |
| Slart | ignusb: ok.. let's see what we can do... if you open the file up you'll first see a lot of text.. comments and settings bla bla bla..some way down in the file you'll see a list of kernels.. about 5 lines for each kernel.. do you see that part? | 09:19 |
| achilles | p1oooop, it seems x problem, I rebuilt the driver and the same problem | 09:19 |
| brennus | Does anyone have experience with Avidemux, Kino, or other video-editing software? I need to rotate some scenes, and can't figure it out in either of these. | 09:19 |
| darlek | ManDay, in nautilus... Edit ... prefs... is that where you found always open in tree view? | 09:19 |
| Bodsda | omg, /start_rant my windows was bsoding because of an unclean filesystem, it wouldnt chkdsk itself, but when i try to mount it on ubuntu it says -- "unclean filesystem... fixing" << Thank you mr linux, have a cookie /end_rant | 09:20 |
| spexor | does anyone know why amarok can't play my god damn mp3's? | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | spexor: have you installed the gstreamer libraries? | 09:20 |
| BlackWolf1 | go to add remove programs | 09:20 |
| BlackWolf1 | and search gstreamer | 09:20 |
| Slart | ignusb: if you look at my file at http://pastebin.com/f40922f2d , the part I'm talking about starts at line 133 | 09:20 |
| spexor | i have not. but i will | 09:20 |
| ManDay | darlek, no its called "always open in browser windows" under "behaviour" | 09:20 |
| uhriventis | Yeah it's weird. | 09:20 |
| uhriventis | I think it's just ubuntu | 09:20 |
| ManDay | very unintuitive, i admit | 09:20 |
| ignusb | got it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/185472/ | 09:21 |
| ManDay | Can someone help me with the following two problems: (1) Every time I connect to a server with natuilus a desktop icon appears. (2) The "Name"-Column in Natuilus can'T be resized to below 80% of the window width. | 09:21 |
| darlek | ManDay, wow, glad I have it there already... I would never have guessed | 09:21 |
| spexor | it says they're all installed | 09:22 |
| Bodsda | ignusb: could you provide us with the output of sudo fdisk -l please (in a pastebin) | 09:22 |
| ManDay | darlek, me either - i just found it googling the ubuntu forums | 09:22 |
| mak_3 | hello all, can someone help me to transfer mails from Thunderbird installed on WindowsXp (I hate) to Thunderbird installed on Ubuntu??? | 09:22 |
| fccf | songer: I can't help you with that ... buy a book on linux command line | 09:22 |
| achilles | p1oooop1, I believe it's Xserver problem, not driver | 09:22 |
| Bodsda | spexor: if you have rhythmbox, try playing them with that to see if it is amaroks fault | 09:22 |
| Slart | ignusb: have you edited this file by hand? | 09:22 |
| songer | fccf darlek thank you for your help< I'll try it tomorrow | 09:22 |
| songer | ok | 09:23 |
| ignusb | I haven't touched the file, it's exactly as it was generated. | 09:23 |
| ManDay | As a matter of fact the so called "tree view" isnt even a tree-view is it?! | 09:23 |
| ignusb | Bodsda, working on it. | 09:23 |
| CybeRebel | anyone know why sounds folders wont open (sys/preferences/sound/sounds tab) ? | 09:23 |
| Bodsda | ignusb: cheers | 09:23 |
| songer | ok fccf I'll do that | 09:23 |
| ManDay | It's not like you had a tree of folders on the left, is it? | 09:23 |
| achilles | p1oooop1, startx gives the following : Fatal server error : no screens found | 09:23 |
| darlek | ManDay, ah no... details details.. | 09:23 |
| ManDay | ah nevermind | 09:23 |
| BlackWolf1 | Yep, basically ignusb, before we check for OTHER problems, we'll just do a quick check on whether your fdisk output, matches your boot menu file. Ater that, we can check for other issues | 09:23 |
| ManDay | i just figured that the type of the side panel can be changed | 09:24 |
| ignusb | http://paste.ubuntu.com/185474/ | 09:24 |
| darlek | ManDay, technically a list view but hey | 09:24 |
| pooky | Could someone PLEASE help me... | 09:24 |
| Bodsda | ignusb: what are you having problems botting, win1, win2 or ubuntu? | 09:24 |
| Slart | ignusb: hmm.. let me check some stuff.. you've got some strange things in your file but I'm not sure if it's something they've changed in jaunty | 09:24 |
| fccf | !ask | pooky | 09:24 |
| ubottu | pooky: 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. :-) | 09:24 |
| ignusb | Bodsda, it won't even get to the bootloader UI | 09:25 |
| pooky | fccf, I've asked 3 times.. for the last 3àmin... | 09:25 |
| pooky | 30minutes* | 09:25 |
| Bodsda | ignusb: oh, you get error 17 before grub menu? | 09:25 |
| darlek | ManDay, how about under prefs view, setting to compact mode then under 50% while having fixed all columns the same? maybe then you can view the file under 80%? | 09:25 |
| rj_d | Hi I am still not able to embed the video in the VLC | 09:25 |
| ignusb | it says something along the lines of "Loading GRUB <CRLF> Error 17" | 09:25 |
| ManDay | well it just bothers me that i cant resize the column as i wish | 09:25 |
| rj_d | i tried usign gstremer-terminal | 09:25 |
| ManDay | it just gets stuck at a certain point | 09:26 |
| ManDay | not always 80% tho. depends on the folder im in | 09:26 |
| rj_d | but not working | 09:26 |
| darlek | ManDay, the mouse hover on the edge doesn't do anything? | 09:26 |
| songer | ok thank you goodbye | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | ignusb: ah, that clears things up -- I think reinstalling grub may help | 09:26 |
| ManDay | well it goes into "reizse mode" but when i try to actually resize the collumn i cant get it below a certain point | 09:26 |
| rj_d | Please help.. Wat I have to do to embed the video in VLC.. | 09:26 |
| ignusb | already done it, twice :P | 09:26 |
| pooky | Ok my question is , how come when i use my cemera the canon G9, my computer doesn't recognize it, i've tried using F-spot but doesn't change anything... | 09:27 |
| Bodsda | ignusb: and no change from the error 17? | 09:27 |
| ignusb | always Error 17 | 09:27 |
| CybeRebel | please help, to change system sounds, do i need to run as root? | 09:27 |
| darlek | ManDay, if you're under View List try View icons .. then you might be able to rename it there | 09:27 |
| ignusb | same place, before the UI apperas | 09:27 |
| spexor | that's wierd | 09:27 |
| darlek | ManDay, or see what the hell it is | 09:27 |
| BlackWolf1 | ignusb: try entering your BIOS and check for settings such as "Detecting Drives" etc | 09:27 |
| darlek | lol | 09:27 |
| fccf | pooky: the recommendation is buy $5 usb reader | 09:27 |
| spexor | amarok won't play but rythmbox will | 09:27 |
| BlackWolf1 | it sounds as if its a bios specific problem | 09:27 |
| ManDay | No, darlek not able to rename it either | 09:27 |
| Slart | ignusb: ok, it was as I suspected.. it's a new jaunty thing.. your menu.lst file looks ok | 09:28 |
| darlek | argh | 09:28 |
| ManDay | The ugly thing just sits there and annoys me | 09:28 |
| achilles | guys, how do I know if I have a driver problem or Xserver problem when my gnome tries to start, it gives a black screen with some colored horizontal lines and freezed response | 09:28 |
| ignusb | BlackWolf1: I've gone into the BIOS, redetected each of the drives, each is seen as the correct size | 09:28 |
| achilles | frozen* | 09:28 |
| darlek | sweet | 09:28 |
| BlackWolf1 | hmm, this is odd indeed | 09:28 |
| darlek | well I'm off. have a good night/morning... | 09:28 |
| rj_d | p1oooop1: I think my driver is working fine and I have tried all combination in gstreamer-terminal | 09:28 |
| BlackWolf1 | have you made a topic on ubuntu forums? Your more likely to get help from long termers there, as people with similar problems will find the thread | 09:28 |
| * darlek cheers | 09:28 | |
| ignusb | no I haven't, that was going to be the next step after here. | 09:29 |
| BlackWolf1 | its beyond my scope, and most likely a hardware specific issue | 09:29 |
| BlackWolf1 | make sure in the post, you put all your computer specs etc | 09:29 |
| BlackWolf1 | good luck with it all though, i hope you can sort this out | 09:29 |
| fccf | !ubuntuforums is how I learned ubuntu and how to fix things | 09:29 |
| pooky | Oh sorry fccf, I've already asked that question, I mean my other question was...That There's this website that plays music (only plays no downloads) on a playlist that requires flash plugin,...i put flash but it still doesn't work so...Now I'm hopeless... | 09:29 |
| ignusb | alright, thanks for the assistance. Slart, any other ideas? or shall I put it to the forum | 09:30 |
| Bodsda | Slart: BlackWolf1 -- all yours, i need to fix my windows install | 09:30 |
| fccf | pooky: try gnash | 09:30 |
| Slart | ignusb: nah... from what I can tell your menu.lst file looks ok... the uuid's might be wrong but I don't really know how to check that | 09:30 |
| Slart | ignusb: I would try reinstalling grub, just because it's a pretty easy and quick solution if it works | 09:31 |
| BlackWolf1 | well it seems he's not even getting to the UI, which indicates an issue BEFORE the boot menu has even been loaded | 09:31 |
| Slart | ignusb: you're not using some BIOS feature to select which hard drive to boot from? | 09:32 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there. on one of our servers we always ssh to it, using root, and perform any tasks etc. I know this is bad practice, so im going to create a series of users. whats the best way to go about this? 2 users will need admin type privalages without being able to destroy things? | 09:32 |
| nickgrey147 | can i take a oracle data base on a ntfs drive out of a window 2003 server pop it in a linux machine and hook it with oracle , and run it on ntfs with out a problem | 09:32 |
| nickgrey147 | with the right ntfs drivers of cos ? | 09:32 |
| ignusb | Slart, not that I'm aware of. | 09:32 |
| ignusb | I'll check that again though. | 09:33 |
| flintwingel | !sudo | 09:33 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 09:33 |
| tiyowan | nickgrey147: I'd check the Oracle documentation for that. | 09:33 |
| Slart | ignusb: no need to check.. you would know if you were =) | 09:33 |
| Slart | ignusb: some BIOS have a little boot menu of their own.. where the different drives popup and you can select one to boot from | 09:33 |
| ignusb | ok, no, not using that. | 09:33 |
| Slart | ignusb: then try a reinstall of grub.. if that doesn't fix it write a post on the forums | 09:34 |
| spexor | does ANYONE know how to switch which monitor is the main one? | 09:34 |

| indus | spexor: WHICH verrsion of ubuntu u using? | 09:35 |
| ignusb | Slart: already reinstalled twice, so to the forums it is. | 09:35 |
| yokobr | Does anybody knows any RAD tool for linux, except Lazarus? | 09:35 |

| tannersummers_ | Guys i cant seem to partition my partitions i have 32 gb free unacounlted space and yet i cant add it to windows or linux partition in 3 diff partition managers | 09:36 |
| Slart | ignusb: you're welcome.. hope you get it fixed | 09:36 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: Which partition managers have you tried? | 09:36 |
| brennus | Does anyone have experience with Avidemux, Kino, or other video-editing software? I need to rotate some scenes, and can't figure it out in either of these. | 09:36 |

| tannersummers_ | !PartitionManager | 09:38 |
| ubottu | PartitionManager is a !KDE !GUI partitioning program. Use !KPackageKit, !Adept or !Synaptic to install or type « sudo apt-get install partitionmanager » in a !terminal | 09:38 |
| indus | spexor: try preferences> screen resolution | 09:38 |
| brennus | fccf: Yes! that's what I'm trying to do | 09:38 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: What exactly happens when you try to create a partition out of the unallocated space? | 09:38 |
| spexor | you mean preferences>display? | 09:38 |
| indus | spexor: ya | 09:38 |
| spexor | because that just lets me move them around. not designate main display | 09:38 |
| fccf | brennus: i'd go to google and search for ffmpeg rotate | 09:38 |
| tannersummers_ | I can create a partition no problem but none on either windows or ubuntu will allow me to add it to a partiton to increase size, i think it might be cuase they used? | 09:39 |
| indus | spexor: you have any ATI console? | 09:39 |
| spexor | ati console? | 09:39 |
| indus | tannersummers_: some ati config tool | 09:39 |
| khadafi | help me please? | 09:39 |
| indus | tannersummers_: i dont think you can add a partition to an existing partition | 09:39 |
| indus | tannersummers_: it doesnt make sense as that partition could be ext3 so how can u add it to some other formatted partition | 09:40 |
| fccf | tannersummers_: you could resize another partition if the partition is next to the unallocated space | 09:40 |
| tannersummers_ | no | 09:40 |
| tannersummers_ | next to it? | 09:41 |
| tannersummers_ | then how cna i move it? lol | 09:41 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: That is not the proper way to increase the size of an existing partition. What you need to do is, delete the empty partitions you have created so that you have unallocated space once more, and then you need to use the appropriate option in your partition manager to increase the size of the existing partition. | 09:41 |
| fccf | tannersummers_: above it or below it | 09:41 |
| indus | tannersummers_: tiyowan:yeah | 09:41 |

| flintwingel | is the list of ! responses documented anywhere? | 09:43 |
| magentar | ninjafury, try alsamixer -c0 | 09:43 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: Check the documentation of the partition manager in order to find out the correct steps. | 09:44 |
| indus | tannersummers_: you need to edit your existing partition to increase its size/ partitioner will use whatever free space is needed for new size | 09:44 |

| Gamarok__ | cheers flannel | 09:45 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: If it's a GUI-based partition manager, generally what you have to do is -select- the partition you want to resize, and then look for the resize option. | 09:45 |
| tannersummers_ | tiyowan indus thats the thing tho, 2 partition managers on ubuntu and the one that came with windows vista i right click on my windows partition or my ubuntu partition on either of the three but the increase/resize option is shaded in | 09:45 |
| guntbert | flintwingel: have fun :) | 09:45 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: Are you using ubuntu right now? | 09:46 |
| ninjafury | magentar, I maxed all the output levels, and it did help a little. Vista is still way louder though. Anywhere else I should look? | 09:46 |
| fccf | tannersummers_: the win partition manager will not see the ubuntu or anything after it | 09:46 |
| bullgard4 | What does mean the entry 'closed' in /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub0/status? | 09:46 |
| indus | tannersummers_: use a live cd to partition /its easier i feel .you cannot edit partitions which aare alreadyy mounted | 09:47 |
| magentar | ninjafury, not really no.. maybe check if there's other users who have the same problem with their soundcard | 09:47 |
| tannersummers_ | tiyowan yes and fccf either way it wont let me increase the size of the windows partiton while log into windows, i think i need to do it before pc boots up on a cd or something | 09:47 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: What indus said. Do your partitioning off a live CD. | 09:47 |
| gartral | what screensaver setups allow configurations of the screensaver? | 09:47 |
| tannersummers_ | how do i go among doing that? | 09:47 |
| fccf | tannersummers_: boot from ubuntu live cd | 09:48 |
| indus | tannersummers_: i assume you have an ubuntu live cd | 09:48 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: Pop in an Ubuntu Live CD, boot off the CD, and then open up the partitioning tool ... gparted I think, and do it from there. | 09:48 |
| tannersummers_ | yes i do | 09:48 |
| tannersummers_ | im new at ubuntu so how do i open up gparted | 09:48 |
| khadafi | hello | 09:48 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: Don't mix Windows-based partition tools with Linux ones. | 09:48 |
| khadafi | i have a problem with my ubuntu | 09:49 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: It's in System -> Administration I believe. | 09:49 |
| fccf | tannersummers_: System>Administration>Partition Manager | 09:49 |
| indus | tannersummers_: when the system boots into live cd environment go to system>administration>partition manager( or something like taht) | 09:49 |
| fccf | !ask | khadafi | 09:49 |
| ubottu | khadafi: 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. :-) | 09:49 |
| tannersummers_ | wait, so run ubuntu off cd and do it? or run program while cd is in? | 09:50 |
| Tileen | hy | 09:50 |
| fccf | tannersummers_: both | 09:50 |
| indus | fccf: heh | 09:50 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: Run Ubuntu off the CD. | 09:51 |
| Tileen | i need a invite mail for torrentleech.org | 09:51 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers_: And use the Partition Manager which is in the Ubuntu that is running from the Live CD. | 09:51 |
| Tileen | =) | 09:51 |
| tannersummers_ | ok guys brb i hope this works | 09:51 |
| khadafi | if i install a new package i am get some error please check :http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m41e2418a | 09:51 |

| tannersummers | grr this sucks | 10:03 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: What happened? | 10:03 |
| indus | tannersummers: yeah what happened | 10:04 |
| fccf | tannersummers: >>???? | 10:04 |
| tannersummers | tiyowan im running off cd now, i can increase size of partiton but only the one next to the empty space, and unlucky for me the swap partition is next to it and wont let me chage that one at all | 10:04 |
| indus | tannersummers: just delete swap and create new swap later | 10:04 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Yeah. You need to have unallocated space next to the partition you want to resize. | 10:04 |
| yokobr | fccf, PT-BR | 10:05 |
| tannersummers | how do i delete and create one later? | 10:05 |
| indus | tannersummers: select partition and delete :) | 10:05 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: What indus said. Just delete it using partition manager. | 10:05 |
| tannersummers | wont it jack up my ubuntu partition | 10:05 |
| G_A_C | if you're using GParted or similar, just delete it, do your partition resize, then create a new one in GParted afterwards before runnign "mkswap /dev/sdxx"? | 10:05 |
| indus | tannersummers: well do you have data on those partitions? | 10:06 |
| fccf | tannersummers: unmount the swap delete it ... then resize other partition leaving space for a swap... then add swap back ... will not hurt ubuntu partition | 10:06 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Deleting your swap partition won't affect your other partitions. | 10:06 |
| tannersummers | ill give it a try :S | 10:06 |
| yokobr | fccf, brazilian portuguese | 10:06 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: And try to chill out. Partitioning needs a calm frame of mind. :) | 10:06 |
| indus | tannersummers: ya what tiyowan said | 10:06 |
| tannersummers | i have a bad habit of breaking crap lol | 10:06 |
| fccf | yokobr: try asking in #ubuntu-br | 10:07 |
| indus | tannersummers: just remember to leave enough space for swap then create new swap in that space | 10:07 |
| flintwingel | tannersummers: backups are you friend :) | 10:07 |
| tannersummers | i got school in 4 hours, right now not much of a time to backup over 100 gb on windows and my whole ubuntu partition lol | 10:07 |
| tannersummers | so how is everyone doing? | 10:08 |
| fccf | tannersummers: idle chat is reserved for #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:09 |
| indus | tiyowan: btw, resizing a partition destroys data on it no? | 10:09 |
| tannersummers | hmm so many channels | 10:09 |
| stpr | I'm looking for an alternative to the Mycar-monitor for ubuntu. Does anyone knows something? | 10:10 |
| Benalex | I installed Jaunty and it is always running in low graphics mode on Dell Optiplex 755 desktop with Intel Q35 graphics chipset, and it was the same with Intrepid, I thought it will be fixed, but it didn't, any ideas? | 10:10 |
| indus | !intel | 10:10 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 10:10 |
| tiyowan | indus: I don't think so. | 10:10 |
| tiyowan | indus: Depends on which tool you're using. | 10:10 |
| indus | tiyowan: but the one with the live cd doesnt ? | 10:10 |
| indus | i dont remember resizing a partition with data on it | 10:11 |
| indus | nvm | 10:11 |
| yokobr | fccf, i've tryied... and no one knows the answer.. | 10:11 |
| Benalex | indus ty :) | 10:12 |
| yokobr | well, everybody is sleeping ehhe | 10:12 |
| tiyowan | indus: Well, Ubuntu used parted; I don't think it has any trouble resizing ext2-3 partitions. | 10:12 |
| indus | Benalex: you are most welcome :) | 10:12 |
| fccf | yokobr: your other option is serarching ubuntuforums | 10:12 |
| indus | tiyowan: okk | 10:12 |
| tiyowan | indus: I don't use parted to resize Windows partitions. | 10:12 |
| tiyowan | indus: Just for safety. It's better to use Win-tools with Windows partitions, and linux tools for linux partitions. | 10:13 |
| indus | tiyowan: no i mean ubuntu only didnt mean windows partitions | 10:13 |
| indus | tiyowan: i always did fresh partitions for ubuntu , dont remember altering a partition to a new size | 10:13 |
| tiyowan | indus: It isn't a problem - I've resized the partition my home directory resided on before using parted. | 10:14 |
| Name141 | if I make a live USB stick, will I be able to update it and it know the changes? | 10:14 |
| fccf | tannersummers: another option is to use your unallocated space as fat32 which will be readable from both win and ubuntu | 10:14 |
| indus | tiyowan: ok cool thanks | 10:14 |
| Name141 | IE: security updates, video drivers, so on ? | 10:14 |
| tannersummers | fccf im trying to make my windows bigger but if someone can help me ill show a ss | 10:14 |
| tiyowan | indus: np | 10:14 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Are you trying to resize your Windows partition? | 10:15 |
| tannersummers | im trying to give it the free space | 10:15 |
| Name141 | or should I figure out how to install it directly to the flash drive ? | 10:15 |
| Name141 | instead of the LIVE version ? | 10:15 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Oh okay. In that case, just get the free space next to the Windows partition, and use any Windows-based tool to do what you need. | 10:15 |
| kholerabbi2 | is it me, or if Juanty's Firefox missing "Set as image as wallpaper"??? | 10:16 |

| amdfan | hi guys does ubuntu 9.04 have support for sse4 and 3dnow mx instruction sets ( i want to use it in a rendering farm) | 10:17 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Ehehehe. Your unallocated space is -inside- your extended primary partition. | 10:17 |
| Gamarok__ | is 9.10 going to be l.t.s | 10:17 |
| whazilla | [Cbea leg | 10:17 |
| tannersummers | ya ur telling me... | 10:17 |
| Flannel | Gamarok__: No. 10.04 is scheduled to be. | 10:17 |
| indus | Gamarok__: no | 10:18 |
| Gamarok__ | oh thanks Flannel | 10:18 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Okay. Let me think a minute. | 10:18 |
| tannersummers | =[ there should be a way easier way to do this crap | 10:18 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Ok, do this. Select /dev/sda4, and shrink it. That should squeeze all that unallocated space out of the extended partition. | 10:19 |
| tannersummers | it does but does it on other side of windows partition lol | 10:19 |
| Jasa | If someone would really care about the l.t.s they would be still running those older versions for couple years now still. | 10:19 |
| fccf | tannersummers: after looking at ss ... what tiyowan said but push the partition to the end instead of the beginning | 10:20 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: That's all right. Right now we need to get it outside the extended partition first. | 10:20 |
| tannersummers | idk how i tryed | 10:20 |
| yokobr | fccf, its an early development project... not even google has much answers for it.. | 10:20 |
| Jasa | But as noticed most people only want the newest software cause of additional features and support that wasn't before. | 10:20 |
| Flannel | Jasa: They are. | 10:20 |
| fccf | yokobr: sorry beyond my skillz | 10:20 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Just shrink the /dev/sda4, take a screenshot and throw us the link. We'll guide you through the next part of it. Remember to leave some unallocated space in there for the swap partition. | 10:21 |
| stpr | I'm looking for an alternative to the Mycar-monitor for ubuntu. Does anyone knows something? | 10:21 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Actually, don't touch /dev/sda6, just shrink /dev/sda4. | 10:21 |
| fccf | tannersummers: shrink /dev/sda4 with the blank space at the beginning | 10:22 |
| Jasa | Someone planning on dual booting ? | 10:22 |
| tannersummers | wont let me shrink it | 10:22 |
| Jasa | tanner i would assume then. =) | 10:22 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: What? It doesn't let you resize /dev/sda4? | 10:23 |
| Jasa | tanner, if you have windows installed there and won't allow you to shrink do a defrag on hd. | 10:23 |
| tannersummers | lol | 10:23 |
| indus | tannersummers: you need a shrink :P | 10:23 |
| tannersummers | just great | 10:24 |
| tiyowan | Jasa: His unallocated space is inside his extended partition. Windows can't see it - defragging won't make a difference atm. | 10:24 |
| Rigongia | Jasa : my system is dual booting right now :) | 10:24 |
| tannersummers | gave space to sda5 and says all fo its used up so i cant shrink it | 10:24 |
| Jasa | I see. | 10:24 |
| fccf | tannersummers: delete linux-swap... add deleted space to /dev/sda5... shrink /dev/sda5 leaving empty space at beginning... then shrink /dev/sda4 | 10:25 |
| tannersummers | i did do that | 10:25 |
| tannersummers | but now sda5 | 10:25 |
| tannersummers | says 48 gb being used | 10:25 |
| tannersummers | so only let me shirnk it 1 gb | 10:25 |

| tiyowan | tannersummers: And drag from the left of sda5, so that you get unallocated space at the beginning - before sda5. | 11:04 |
| tannersummers | they should make it so u can just click and move it around huh | 11:04 |
| fccf | zortec: you may have a bad copy | 11:05 |

| indus | fafaz: hello? | 11:41 |
| fafaz | indus: yes | 11:41 |
| fiasco | I need to find my machine on a LAN but I don't know the IP, I know what services run on (ports that are open), whats the fastest way to scan 192.168.2.[0-255] for the specific ports that will define my machine? | 11:41 |
| Bob1 | hello | 11:41 |
| tiyowan | alejandro: Okay, I'm not certain about this, but let's try this. | 11:41 |
| indus | fafaz: so whats the status | 11:41 |
| alejandro | k | 11:41 |
| tiyowan | alejandro: I want you to go into Add/Remove programs, and install the PulseAudio Device Chooser utility | 11:41 |
| Bob1 | i am running a program through WINE and the program keeps losing its internet connection every 5 seconds then reganing it then losing it how do i fix this | 11:42 |
| grub_booter_ | fiasco: might be a bit incomplete, but you can try: cat /proc/net/arp | 11:42 |
| tannersummers | i saw programs for virse scanners and firewalls, does ubutnu even need those? | 11:42 |
| Myrtti | carlosssss: do you need help? | 11:43 |
| alejandro | ok installed | 11:43 |
| fiasco | grub_booter_: this is over a vpn ;) | 11:43 |
| jrib | tannersummers: ubuntu doesn't, the user might. It depends | 11:43 |
| Bob1 | i am running a program through WINE and the program keeps losing its internet connection every 5 seconds then reganing it then losing it how do i fix this | 11:43 |
| fiasco | grub_booter_: plus there are 255 machines to filter through | 11:43 |
| tiyowan | alejandro: Okay, now you need to resize your sda4 partition. Drag it from the left so that you get space before the sda4 partition. Leave how much you need for your swap partition. | 11:43 |
| fafaz | indus: the problem is with the package openoffice.org-writer .. package in a very bad inconsistent state. you should reinstall it before attempt to remove. also, error code(1) /usr/sbin/dpkg | 11:43 |

| indus | fafaz: sudo aptitude reinstall openoffice.org-writer | 11:44 |
| zortec | It doesn't look as though my graphics card is supported. I added break=mount to the boot line and I get a yellow screen. It is just blank. :( | 11:44 |
| fafaz | indus: but I don't have the option "Mark for reinstall" for openoffice.org-writer | 11:44 |

| poq09 | hi all, how can I check which dns server my computer is currently using? I updated the dns settings for my wireless connection in network manager but I want to be sure thy have taken effect | 11:44 |
| tiyowan | alejandro: Sorry about that. Right. Run it from Applications -> Sound and Video. Then left-click on its icon in the system tray and select Volume Control, please. | 11:44 |
| G_A_C | poq09, "nslookup" | 11:45 |
| fafaz | indus: executing your command | 11:45 |
| G_A_C | when you do a query, it'll tell you which server was used | 11:45 |
| grub_booter_ | fiasco: well, no really fast way other than to locate all the valid ips and then try to connect on each at the port you want i guess - avahi-browse might report stuff which is published via upnp type stuff, but i doubt that it'll help with vpn... | 11:45 |
| zortec | Where is a list of video cards? I want to see if my integrated is supported or not | 11:45 |
| tiyowan | alejandro: From there you will be able to select the default card for input and output. In the output devices you need to set it to your card, and enable the default option. | 11:45 |
| alejandro | ah ok let me give it a try | 11:46 |
| fafaz | indus: it returns: Current status: 1 broken 13 updates | 11:46 |
| zortec | I also tried "safe graphics" mode but that didn't help | 11:46 |
| fiasco | grub_booter_: I'm using nmap '192.168.2.0/24 -p8984' so far, but its also returning closed ports | 11:46 |
| tiyowan | alejandro: Oh, and make sure that everything in System -> Preferences -> Sound is set to autodetect. | 11:46 |

| bezoeker | i installed ubuntu and created an user "guest" how would i get it so that on next login all is as it was on the first login, that is an clean home dir etc? | 11:49 |

| flintwingel | wraith0x2b: you could use a USB thumbdrive or network boot if your PC supports PXE boot | 11:55 |

| tiyowan | zortec: What graphics card do you have? | 11:56 |
| wraith0x2b | any chance I could install it using let's say an already installed linux? | 11:56 |

| Slart | zortec: mm.. I know what you mean.. sometimes people just ask questions without giving any kind of details.. my poor poor blood pressure | 11:56 |

| fafaz | indus: I did sudo aptitude remove openoffice.org-writer with no errors | 11:56 |

| Slart | wraith0x2b: I've also seen some people installing by writing the install cd to a hard drive partition, then booting from that.. | 11:57 |
| zortec | I turned off apci and used "safe graphics" mode. If I add "break=mount" I get a yellow screen of death. | 11:57 |
| felix__ | zortec, i think there is an alternate text install. hit ESC after setting languaje of livecd boot, or check the options | 11:58 |
| wraith0x2b | Slart, hm...no extra partition..only the one where I plan on installing it | 11:58 |
| Slart | wraith0x2b: but if I were you I would get an external usb cd/dvd reader and use that | 11:58 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Getting that card to run will be -challenging-. | 11:58 |
| zortec | felix__ The alternate text install doesn't recognize my cdrom | 11:58 |

| koshari | aantn i suspect one has some non gpled code | 12:12 |
| indus | fafaz: autoremove? | 12:12 |
| aantn | koshari: which one is official from sun? | 12:12 |
| fafaz | indus: yes. now I tried it with -f | 12:12 |
| indus | come in pm | 12:12 |
| koshari | aantn they are both from sun but one wont contain any non gpled code, | 12:13 |
| aantn | koshari: open jdk doesn't have non-gpl code? | 12:14 |
| koshari | aantn i suspect so, you will likely need to click a eula to use suns closed source ebrsion | 12:14 |
| aantn | koshari: thanks | 12:15 |
| quibbler | Slart-> why are you asking me? | 12:16 |
| tiyowan | Speaking of open-source, is there an open-source port of Silverlight? | 12:16 |
| zortec | felix__ I need about 15 packages on the minimal CD right? | 12:16 |
| Lithax | yes, moonlight | 12:16 |
| tiyowan | Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks Lithax. | 12:17 |
| bilalakhtar | hello everybedy. I want to ask you how do i run a DVD in UDF format on my Jaunty computer? | 12:17 |
| felix__ | zortec, i cant find a complete list. but most simple is "sudo -i;apt-get update; apt-get install gnome (or kde)" and then install the packages you like in a desktop environment | 12:17 |
| === Zero is now known as Guest7553 | ||
| felix__ | zortec, or just write down a list of ubuntu livecd and put them after apt-get install | 12:18 |
| Guest7553 | how can i fix my screen alignment on my monitor? xvidtune appears to do nothing | 12:19 |
| G_A_C | zortec, felix__, wouldn't "aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" be more appropriate? | 12:19 |
| G_A_C | that should get you everything that would come as standard with Ubuntu, and I seem to recall the ubuntu-* metapackages aid in upgrades between versions as well | 12:20 |
| felix__ | lol, of course. i didnt noticed that package | 12:20 |
| zortec | felix__, G_A_C: Do I still need all the gnome packages? | 12:21 |
| * tannersummers still waits | 12:21 | |
| felix__ | zortec, ubuntu-desktop package depends on all ubuntu have | 12:21 |
| G_A_C | zortec, no; ubuntu-desktop will get you the full GNOME desktop, kubuntu-desktop would get you KDE, etc | 12:21 |
| zortec | What is the difference in aptitude and apt-get | 12:22 |
| G_A_C | installing ubuntu-desktop should be about 99.99999% identical to installing from a standard desktop CD | 12:22 |
| G_A_C | nothing much really, for installing packages you know the name of, just personal preference | 12:22 |
| felix__ | zortec, aptitude is like synaptic, with a ui, in console | 12:22 |
| G_A_C | I also like the aptitude text menu "thing", so I've just got used to using aptitude for all my apt needs | 12:23 |
| zortec | So the only other packages I will need are for my graphics card? | 12:23 |
| zortec | Or am I missing some others? | 12:23 |
| felix__ | zortec, yes. you will use vesa driver by default | 12:23 |
| Lithax | aptitude handles package conflicts a little more sanely than apt-get | 12:23 |
| G_A_C | ubuntu-desktop should pull in the restricted drivers applet, which should install your graphics drivers once you boot into GNOME | 12:23 |
| G_A_C | alternatively, there's things like EnvyNG which can do it from the console | 12:23 |
| G_A_C | (assuming EnvyNG is still around, and supported anyway) | 12:24 |
| zortec | Yes, but with my graphics card isn't the problem a vesa driver so don't I need to pull in special drivers? | 12:24 |
| zortec | That is why I can't get the installer to load on the live cd... | 12:24 |
| felix__ | G_A_C, i used it some days ago. it fails at installing a TNT2 in an old pc | 12:25 |
| felix__ | hardware manager doesnt detect at all | 12:25 |
| koshari | felix_ that card is ancient | 12:25 |
| G_A_C | felix__, probably purely to do with the age of the card; that won't be supported by any Forceware release from Nvidia | 12:25 |
| G_A_C | you couldn't get that working even manually, I wouldn't think :\ | 12:26 |
| Lithax | how old is your pc felix | 12:26 |
| koshari | G_A_C i suspect it would work with the vesa driver | 12:26 |
| zortec | Even if my card is not supported? nforce 610/7300 NVIDIA | 12:26 |
| G_A_C | maybe, but EnvyNG isn't designed for setting things up with vesa... | 12:26 |
| zortec | It should pull in basic drivers... that is my understanding | 12:26 |
| felix__ | koshari, G_A_C it has a legacy driver. one free and one privative, from nvidia site, i tryed but hw manager didnt recognise neither | 12:27 |
| koshari | felix__ you would have to manually install that package i suspect | 12:27 |
| koshari | zortec you shoulnt have to much trouble getting that gpu sorted | 12:27 |
| tiyowan | Guys. | 12:28 |
| zortec | koshari: It's not officially supported which I think is a little strange | 12:28 |
| zortec | I always thought nvidia was ahead of its game on linux | 12:28 |
| tiyowan | felix__, koshari, zortec: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-kernel-common/+bug/195139 | 12:28 |
| zortec | being how popular of a chipset it is | 12:28 |
| rikki_max | for all those who think nvidia TNT2 graphics cards dont work well they do work but u can't "apply" it to be used | 12:28 |
| felix__ | koshari, i did. it is nvidia*71* or smthing like that. i installed all packages that includes a 71 but hw manager stillsaying that no hw is found and so i cant enable the use of privativa. lshw detects the card | 12:29 |
| qdb | hello. i search in main window of nautilus .htaccess in phpbb folder and it has found nothing | 12:29 |
| qdb | though there are several htaccess in subdomains | 12:29 |
| qdb | hidden files are shown | 12:30 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I also notice that is for 7.10 | 12:30 |
| chadi | Is Jaunty so buggy with you guys? | 12:30 |
| zortec | Wouldn't they have improved hardware support with jaunty? | 12:30 |
| rikki_max | chadi: it was when i tried it so i had to use intrepid ibex | 12:30 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Good point. Let me search the driver packages. | 12:31 |
| chadi | rikki_max I don't think I will go back to earlier versions though | 12:32 |
| koshari | zortec tried envy? | 12:32 |
| qdb | does not anybody know whether 9.04 works with nvidia mx 400, 440 , 440 se... etc ? | 12:32 |
| Lithax | chadi, what problems do u have? | 12:32 |
| qdb | 8.10 does not | 12:32 |
| rikki_max | chadi: intrepid does have all the packages i need and i am using as a server, main pc | 12:32 |
| Aryaan | Hi, whats the difference between nvidia glx new and the binary drivers provided by Nvidia | 12:32 |
| koshari | chadi there are a few bugs, but not unlike previous releases imo | 12:32 |
| the_dark_warrio | My notebook keyboard isn't working... I've unplugged my external keyboard at home and now it doesn't work. The problem seems to be o xorg conf, because it works ok on GRUB menu (I can select between operating systems). Any tips? | 12:32 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Aha. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nvidia-glx-180 | 12:32 |
| Lithax | qdb, yes it does, u need the older nvidia driver | 12:33 |
| koshari | Aryaan nvidia glx are binarys provided ny nvidia | 12:33 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Looks like you're in business. :) | 12:33 |
| qdb | thank you, lithax. other question: does 8.04? | 12:33 |
| chadi | Lithax random problems. in my one-month trial, it crashed once, hibernation did not restore twice, some apps closed without notice, compiz had lots of problems | 12:33 |
| zortec | tiyowan: Do you see the nforce chipset in there? | 12:34 |
| chadi | i was satisfied with 8.04LTS | 12:34 |
| Lithax | qdp, i have a 8.04 machine working fine with nvidia rwo mx | 12:34 |
| Lithax | 429 mx | 12:34 |
| koshari | qdb yes , i have a mx card with nvidia which was running 8.04 | 12:34 |
| Aryaan | koshari: so i dont have to install the nvidia driver from their site for full functionality? | 12:34 |
| qdb | thank you | 12:34 |
| tiyowan | zortec: I do, sir. GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i right? | 12:34 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I'll check to make sure. | 12:35 |
| koshari | Aryaan generaly no, however often the packaged snapshots arent the bleeding edge, but thats generally not a big deal | 12:35 |
| zortec | GeForce 7050 / NVIDIA nForce 610i | 12:35 |
| qdb | hello. i search in main window of nautilus .htaccess in phpbb folder and it has found nothing though there are several htaccess in subdomains. hidden files are shown | 12:35 |
| zortec | tiyowan: That is the video card. | 12:35 |
| tiyowan | zortec: There's more. :) | 12:36 |
| Aryaan | koshari: would installing the drivers help me to get hibernate working as desktop effects are supposed to hamper hibernate? | 12:36 |
| zortec | tiyowan: So there is no way to get access to that on the live cd for the installer? | 12:36 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I would need to use the Minimal CD... | 12:36 |
| qdb | may be i will test it with artificially made folder with subdirectories and htaccess files | 12:36 |
| Lithax | chadi, if 8.04 aint broke, don't fix it | 12:36 |
| qdb | fix: though there are several htaccess in subdirectories | 12:37 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Hmm. | 12:37 |
| koshari | Aryaan i wouldnt imagne so | 12:37 |
| felix__ | zortec, does the livecd work? if yes, just open a console and "sudo apt-get install ubiquity; ubiquity" | 12:37 |
| tiyowan | zortec: When you try to install from the normal live CD, does your install hang or something? | 12:37 |
| gorbierd | how do i run some command for grep result? for example nano found files | 12:37 |
| chadi | Lithax true... | 12:37 |
| zortec | The installer hangs on that graphics card. | 12:38 |
| zortec | It drops me to a busybox guys. | 12:38 |
| zortec | That is when I try to "Install Ubuntu" from the menu. | 12:38 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Okay. | 12:38 |
| Aryaan | koshari: okay. do you think ill break my system if i go for the binary drivers? | 12:38 |
| ziroday | zortec: did you do "Check CD for Defects" | 12:38 |
| orochi_ | Does anyone know if there are any issues with ext4 and data loss with KDE4 in Ubuntu? | 12:38 |
| zortec | ziroday: I tried, get the same busybox error. | 12:38 |
| koshari | Aryaan not if you install the correct ones | 12:38 |
| Lithax | aryaan, not beyond repair | 12:38 |
| computer | fika | 12:39 |
| ziroday | orochi_: most ext4 dataloss issues have been resolved, but if you are worried about your data its safer to go with ext3 | 12:39 |
| zortec | ziroday: It doesn't let me do anything except "Boot to first hard disk" on the live CD | 12:39 |
| tiyowan | zortec: What you need to do is get the text-based installed done, and then apt-get the appropriate packages. I don't have the experience to guide you though. | 12:39 |
| Aryaan | thanks. is there a way to backup settings before i do? | 12:39 |
| ziroday | zortec: sounds like a bad burn, try burning the image (on a different cd) again | 12:39 |
| tiyowan | ziroday: The installer hanging has been reported as bug for his graphic card model. | 12:39 |
| orochi_ | ziroday: Ahh, okay, thanks...unfortunately I've already installed on ext4 so hopefully I won't have any issues | 12:39 |
| koshari | Aryaan there are many ways, from a partimage snapshot to jsut uninstaling the package | 12:39 |
| zortec | Is there anyone that can guide me through a text based install? | 12:40 |
| Lithax | aryan backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:40 |
| zortec | I have never done one... | 12:40 |
| ziroday | tiyowan: but the Check CD for Defects does not rely on X or graphics drivers | 12:40 |
| Aryaan | alright, thanks for everything. | 12:40 |
| chadi | Lithax may I consider Jaunty as being in its alpha stage? | 12:40 |
| zortec | ziroday: Are you sure it doesn't? | 12:40 |
| ziroday | zortec: certain :) | 12:40 |
| tiyowan | ziroday: Which would mean that if zortec were to run the check, it would pass? | 12:41 |
| chadi | hoping that those bugs will be reported and fixed | 12:41 |
| koshari | Lithax are any of the graphics settings in xorg.conf > 8.04? | 12:41 |
| zortec | ziroday: The reason I say that is I used the alternate installer and it didn't detect my cdrom but it loaded the installer... | 12:41 |
| IHS_intern | I'm curious, what is the oldest Nvidia card still supported by Jaunty? | 12:41 |
| zortec | ziroday: It is really weird. | 12:41 |
| Lithax | chadi, i've not tried it yet, but i've heard other reports similar to yours | 12:41 |
| chadi | oh | 12:41 |
| ziroday | IHS_intern: more or less all of them AFAIK, what do you have? | 12:41 |
| IHS_intern | ziroday, Geforce 2 MX and TNT 2s | 12:42 |
| koshari | IHS_intern are we counting chips before nvidia bought out fx? | 12:42 |
| zortec | Hmm, is there another way to test my CD? | 12:42 |
| ziroday | IHS_intern: there are all the older nvidia drivers in the repo's which still support the older cards, and nv might | 12:42 |
| ziroday | IHS_intern: ah well in that case, vesa is probably all you need :) | 12:42 |
| Lithax | koshari, i'm not near my machine to check, but i would guess not | 12:42 |
| zortec | I checked the MD5 hashes which were the same. | 12:42 |
| IHS_intern | Also got ATI Rage128s, was wondering if the Nvidia chips would serveme better | 12:43 |
| * IHS_intern is getting angered by this space bar | 12:43 | |
| felix__ | IHS_intern, i have a tnt2. does yours work? | 12:43 |
| koshari | IHS_intern a mx2 card with closed binaries will awalk all over a ati 9250 which is a much newer card | 12:43 |
| Lithax | zortec, ah that old bug | 12:43 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | Hi all. Is it normal that in evolution pressing "ins" to switch to overwrite mode does not do anything useful? | 12:44 |
| tiyowan | zortec: You'll be able to download that package after you do the minimal install. | 12:44 |
| zortec | Lithax: Old bug? | 12:44 |
| Lithax | the not finding the cd bug | 12:44 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I just want to make sure I'm not going to get stuck in the minimal install. | 12:44 |
| IHS_intern | felix__, I'm using an ATI Rage128 At the moment. got a GeForce2 MX right next to me, but wasn't sure if the drivers were available with the new X.org in Jaunty | 12:44 |
| zortec | tiyowan: Will I have access to the IRC room? :P | 12:44 |
| zortec | tiyowan: Preferably without having to boot back into Windows | 12:45 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Well, put that way, I can't guarantee. :P | 12:45 |
| koshari | IHS_intern the mx2 will trounce it | 12:45 |
| * Lithax finds that typing from a nokia n810 keyboard ain't so easy after all | 12:45 | |
| zortec | What is the package to install the IRC? | 12:45 |
| IHS_intern | thanks,everyone that answered. I'll be setting up a new dev. system then. | 12:46 |
| felix__ | zortek "apt-get install xchat | 12:46 |
| chadi | zortec x-chat ? | 12:46 |
| IHS_intern | zortec, theres irssi, and xchat, andothers | 12:46 |
| zortec | Oh, but wouldn't it be a part of the ubuntu-desktop package? | 12:46 |
| felix__ | it is | 12:46 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | zortec: because pidgin supports irc | 12:46 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Considering the scenario that you won't have any graphics - irssi. | 12:46 |
| zortec | That seems a better way to go than installing all the gnome packages | 12:46 |
| zortec | Do you agree? | 12:46 |
| Lovok | is it possible to have windows read a FAT32 partition off a ubuntu harddrive? | 12:46 |
| koshari | zortec i just use pidgin | 12:46 |
| koshari | Lovok cant see why not | 12:47 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | Lovok: it should do that alone but if it doesnt then you won't have any way to convince windows to do that | 12:47 |
| tiyowan | zortec: You won't have to install everything by yourself when you go with the minimal install. It'll guide you using text. | 12:47 |
| zortec | One last concern, will I have access to my network? | 12:47 |
| zortec | I'm on a wired ADSL connection. | 12:47 |
| Lithax | lovok there's no such thing as an 'ubuntu' hd if the partition's fat32 windows should read it | 12:47 |
| erUSUL | Lovok: it should just appear in MyComputer | 12:47 |
| sandeep_ | how can i remove python | 12:48 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | zortec: pppoeconf | 12:48 |
| koshari | zortec ehternet should be a soda, wifi could be a drama if you need madwifi ect | 12:48 |
| erUSUL | sandeep_: probably you can not... many things depend on python being installed | 12:48 |
| zortec | Le-Chuck_ITA: The Minimal install won't configure that automatically? | 12:48 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | zortec: I don't know :) | 12:48 |
| Lovok | thanks for the replies ; the way it works now, i have XP on hd(0,0), and fat32 on hd(1,0), / on hd(1,1), /home on hd(1,2), swap on hd(1,3) ; XP doesn'T see the fat32 | 12:48 |
| zortec | I still have no idea what is going to happen when I get into the Minimal install... but I get the feeling it's all command line based. | 12:48 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | zortec: but pppoeconf will work very well :) | 12:49 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Hmm. Can your hardware run a virtual machine? | 12:49 |
| Lithax | sandeep, if u use gnome, it's probably best u don't | 12:49 |
| felix__ | zortec, i use wifi and i hadn any problem with jaunty minimal | 12:49 |
| zortec | tiyowan: Yeah I was running Ubuntu for awhile on VirtualBox | 12:49 |
| zortec | tiyowan: But it has access to the video drivers for my chipset | 12:49 |
| tiyowan | zortec: There you go. VMs are great for testing this kind of test. | 12:49 |
| koshari | zortec its pretty wast to follos, just like the alternative installer except you need to download heaps of packages or use a proxy with local apt packages | 12:49 |
| sandeep_ | erUSUL: i have installed python2.5 from source on my centos pc for trac | 12:49 |
| sandeep_ | but now my yum is not working | 12:49 |
| Lithax | zortec, have you tried an alternate install? | 12:50 |
| zortec | Lithax: I have an alternate CD, but it can't locate my cdrom and so it's going in a loop | 12:50 |
| Lithax | sandeep, u realise this is an ubuntu chatroom? | 12:50 |
| zortec | When I tell it I don't have any drivers, it tells me again it can't locate my cdrom | 12:50 |
| koshari | zortec do you have a usb stick? | 12:50 |
| sandeep_ | yes | 12:50 |
| Lithax | zortec, oh right | 12:50 |
| zortec | koshari: I think I have a 1GB usb drive laying around | 12:51 |
| scooterthenoob | I see "1442 members" in this chat room, but can I tell how many people are currently logged in? | 12:51 |
| koshari | zortec use that to install | 12:51 |
| tiyowan | sandeep: Perhaps the folks in the Centos channel could guide you? | 12:51 |
| zortec | koshari: Is there a guide on that? :P | 12:51 |
| koshari | zortec 3 liner, boot live disc, create usb install, install from usb :-) | 12:51 |
| tiyowan | koshari: That's a great idea. | 12:52 |
| sandeep_ | ok | 12:52 |
| sandeep_ | thanks | 12:52 |
| zortec | koshari: Where is "create usb install"? | 12:52 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Can you boot into the live cd? | 12:52 |
| tiyowan | !usb | zortec | 12:52 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I can boot into it, just can't use any of the menu | 12:52 |
| ubottu | zortec: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 12:52 |

| livingdaylight | zortec: hi | 12:53 |
| === saulus_ is now known as SauLus | ||
| Lithax | zortec, how old is your pc? | 12:53 |
| zortec | Lithax: I built it about 3 months ago | 12:53 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: hi | 12:54 |
| koshari | zortec the bios is sure to support booting from sb then | 12:54 |
| koshari | usb | 12:54 |
| zortec | koshari: I'm not sure that option was in my bios | 12:54 |
| the_dark_warrio | Is it possible to start Ubuntu dismissing xorg.conf from grub menu? | 12:54 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: hi | 12:54 |
| koshari | zortec you prolly just never looked hard enough | 12:55 |
| tiyowan | Quick question. The build-essentials, headers, available through the alternate installer CD right? | 12:55 |
| zortec | livingdaylight: Hi, do you have a question? | 12:55 |
| G_A_C | zortec, trypowering off, plugging in your USB pen, then powering on with it plugged in and checking the BIOS | 12:55 |
| Lithax | zortec, it'll be in the boot options, maybe as removable media | 12:55 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: no, why? | 12:55 |
| G_A_C | your USB pen will probably be listed as a hard drive, most modern BIOSes will give you a choice of which order to boot your HDs | 12:55 |
| zortec | livingdaylight: You keep saying hi :) | 12:55 |
| scooterthenoob | I now see "1440 members" in this chat room - but can I tell how many people are currently logged in? | 12:56 |
| Lithax | warrio, boot to init 3 if you don't want X | 12:56 |
| chocobanana | Hi everyone!!!!! | 12:56 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: just being friendly, but you keep ignoring me :( | 12:56 |
| Lithax | warrio, boot to init 3 if you don't want X | 12:56 |
| livingdaylight | chocobanana: HI! | 12:56 |
| zortec | Hmm, so I have multiple options: USB install, minimal CD, or alternate text install | 12:56 |
| koshari | G_A_C mine recignises the usb hardware and prints the name of it in the bios or gives a generic usb key option, both generally work | 12:56 |
| chocobanana | :) | 12:56 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Least painful is USB install. | 12:56 |
| G_A_C | yeah, it's BIOS dependent | 12:56 |
| scooterthenoob | hi chocobanana! | 12:56 |
| livingdaylight | chocobanana: great combination | 12:56 |
| zortec | livingdaylight: I didn't mean to ignore you, just been trying to get ubuntu installed on my system for 2 days | 12:56 |
| G_A_C | my Asus at home lists a "USB 2.0 Pendrive" entry under my two main HDs | 12:56 |
| chocobanana | you bet! | 12:56 |
| G_A_C | but still treats it as a hard drive | 12:56 |
| koshari | zortec you could even install to the hdd in another machine and do the switchseroo | 12:56 |
| zortec | It's nice to find such a friendly community though and people that are willing to help. | 12:57 |
| G_A_C | a lot of Intel desktop boards (Phoenix BIOS, I think) will give them their own USB devices section | 12:57 |
| Pici | scooterthenoob: This isn't really on-topic for this channel, but: /who | 12:57 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: hence your fuse is a bit short... ic | 12:57 |
| chocobanana | does anyone know how to configure Ubuntu 9.04's new notifications display position? | 12:57 |
| Pici | chocobanana: You cannot. | 12:57 |
| chocobanana | oh! | 12:57 |
| koshari | zortec you can boot the usblive session just like the disc and see if it works | 12:57 |
| nailora | chocobanana: indeed not configurable | 12:57 |
| zortec | I'm going to see if I can find the usb if not then we'll do the minimal install | 12:57 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: you should get entry into world guinness book of records.. I would've thought it impossible to take that long... took me about 20minutes | 12:58 |
| Lithax | livingdaylight, it's a bit odd to just stay on orc saying hi to everyone | 12:58 |
| Lithax | irc | 12:58 |
| chocobanana | that's terrible. If you use a dual screen setup with the secondary screen on the right, it looks nasty | 12:58 |
| Myrtti | !offtopic | 12:58 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 12:58 |
| livingdaylight | Lithax: what an odd thing to say | 12:58 |
| koshari | zortec and if you have a drama just create the usb install in another machine, and then boot the prepared usb stick in the one you wanna isntall | 12:58 |
| chocobanana | well, I'm sure the devs are aware of the problem... | 12:58 |
| zortec | livingdaylight: It really shouldn't take that long, but I have a graphics card that is not supported on the live cd or rather I can't get access to the packages I need to run it | 12:59 |
| Lithax | what have u said that's of any use to anyone? | 12:59 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: shux... agues you hadn't had linux in mind at the time of building your machine? | 12:59 |
| chocobanana | zortec: which graphics cards is that? | 12:59 |
| zortec | livingdaylight: I actually had windows/linux in mind when I built the computer | 12:59 |
| saif | hi all ..can any1 help me | 12:59 |
| wraith0x2b | ok I managed to boot the iso from my existing grub using http://deepbluespaces.blogspot.com/2008/07/install-ubuntu-804-from-hard-disk.html | 13:00 |
| chocobanana | saif: ask your question | 13:00 |
| SirFunk_ | hey, i have two strange problems with jaunty on my laptop: 1.) 99% of the time when i resume from suspend... X has crashed and i'm back at the GDM login prompt 2.) X never seems to idle and suspend on its own, power management says it should after 10 min, but it never does | 13:00 |
| zortec | chocobanana: nvidia geforce 7300/nforce 610i chipset | 13:00 |
| saif | i think my graphic card is not working properly | 13:00 |
| wraith0x2b | problem is I can;t install because it said it needs to comit stuff to the partition table..and I got the drive mounted (since i run the iso off it) | 13:00 |
| chocobanana | zortec: the nv or nouveau driver don't work? | 13:00 |
| wraith0x2b | any ideas? | 13:00 |
| scooterthenoob | I just got an Eee 900A, and it will only "mirror" when I want to run an external monitor. Anyone know how I might "extend the desktop" to my external LCD (and increase resolution)?? | 13:00 |

| chocobanana | said: please go to the point | 13:00 |

| davidh38 | hey guys, what means the "rc" in bash .bashrc? | 13:01 |
| saif | how can i make it work | 13:01 |
| zortec | Can you do a text based install from the live cd? | 13:01 |
| tannersummers | guys any program i cna download that can tell me hardware information? more spefic the slot on my mobo that i can place a video card in? i need to find out if i have pci express or agp | 13:01 |
| chocobanana | zortec: is that the problem you were having yesterday? | 13:01 |
| flintwingel | scooterthenoob: Menu->System->Preferences->Display allows your to manipulate displays | 13:01 |
| zortec | chocobanana: Same problem. | 13:01 |
| chocobanana | zortec: why not from the alternate installer disk? | 13:02 |
| Pici | davidh38: run commands | 13:02 |
| scooterthenoob | flintwingel: thx, I did that and the only option is "mirror" (if you want both displays at the same time) | 13:02 |
| zortec | chocobanana: I have been at it now for 2 days, but I did get some sleep and woke up and trying to get it working. | 13:02 |
| saif | <chocobanana>: i cant use visualeffect or compiz because of it | 13:02 |
| chocobanana | saif: what's the machine graphics card? | 13:02 |
| saif | <chocobanana>: even though it was great on 8.1 | 13:02 |
| davidh38 | does anybody know what "rc" in .bashrc means? | 13:02 |
| tannersummers | guys any program i cna download that can tell me hardware information? more spefic the slot on my mobo that i can place a video card in? i need to find out if i have pci express or agp | 13:02 |
| Pici | davidh38: I just answered you | 13:02 |
| livingdaylight | same with .conkyrc or .zshrc | 13:02 |
| saif | Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller | 13:02 |
| zortec | chocobanana: There is a bug in the alternate installer. It doesn't locate my cdrom | 13:02 |
| davidh38 | pici: thank you, sorry | 13:03 |
| zortec | chocobanana: It's going in a loop for some odd reason. | 13:03 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Hmm, good question... | 13:03 |
| saif | chocobanana Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller | 13:03 |
| Lithax | tannersummers, hardinfo | 13:03 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: hwinfo | 13:03 |
| chocobanana | zortec: do you have a USB stick? You could make a bootable USB alternate installer. Do you have 9.04 installed on another machine? | 13:03 |
| flintwingel | scooterthenoob: if "Mirror Screens" in not checked then you should have two separate screens | 13:03 |
| zortec | chocobanana: That is what they suggested in the IRC room or a Minimal Install | 13:04 |
| Lithax | or just run lspci from cli | 13:04 |
| chocobanana | saif: I know someone who has the same problem but I'm not sure why. You could try searching in the forums. | 13:04 |
| zortec | chocobanana: I have to go find that usb stick | 13:04 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: it might be quicker to return or resale your graphics card and get one that is supported out of the box? | 13:04 |
| saif | Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller | 13:04 |
| chocobanana | zortec: is your internet connection wired or wireless? | 13:04 |
| saif | <chocobanana>: thanx | 13:04 |
| zortec | livingdaylight: It is integrated. I can't sell it, lol. | 13:04 |
| chocobanana | saif: good luck | 13:04 |
| zortec | livingdaylight: But I can replace it with a PCI-E card. | 13:05 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: yea! | 13:05 |
| chocobanana | saif : I'm sure you'll find something meaningful in the forums | 13:05 |
| davidh38 | i have a problem with the deskbar, sometimes it doesnt come to the front, but stays in the back, though i invoked it. I could even right something in, and it would start, but i cannot see it quite good. Does anybody know of the "bug"? | 13:05 |
| scooterthenoob | flintwingel: the only options (on the Linux that comes with the Eee 900a) are : "View both external and internal displays, View etral display only, or View internal display only" | 13:05 |
| tiyowan | livingdaylight: zortec's card is integrated. MSI mobo. | 13:05 |
| livingdaylight | zortec: integrated is never as good as dedicated anyhow | 13:05 |
| deepak | hii | 13:06 |

| SirFunk_ | nohin | 13:13 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Well. The easiest way is to boot into the live CD, go to System -> Admin. -> USB install, tell it where the iso is, where the usb drive is, and that's about it. | 13:13 |
| Slart | SirFunk_: check the logs.. /var/log/syslog is a good start | 13:13 |

| deepak | can any buudy help me to install wifi driver in ubuntu 9.04 | 13:14 |
| tiyowan | zortec: If you're not able to use a live CD, then you need to download and use a program called unetbootin. | 13:14 |
| zortec | tiyowan: Where do you get to System -> Admin from the live CD? | 13:14 |
| tiyowan | alienkid10: So you're able to use the commandline right? | 13:14 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I don't remember seeing those. | 13:14 |
| alienkid10 | no | 13:14 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Put in the live CD. Try Ubuntu. | 13:14 |

| zortec | tiyowan: That is the problem. | 13:15 |
| tiyowan | alienkid10: What graphics card do you have? | 13:15 |
| tiyowan | zortec: I know - read the information on the USB install page about the second method: unetbootin. | 13:15 |

| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: Running any resource-intense applications? | 13:18 |
| TheFunkbomb | tiyowan, just IRC and banshee and system monitor now | 13:19 |
| alienkid10 | he cold rebooted | 13:19 |
| chocobanana | zortec: how about the minimal installation? Once it's up and running, all you need to do is sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 13:19 |
| alienkid10 | we got to GDM! | 13:19 |
| alienkid10 | not sur what we did | 13:19 |
| gibbo | we | 13:20 |
| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: I'd use ps and top to find out what's going on. | 13:20 |
| TheFunkbomb | tiyowan, npviewer.bin is the problem it looks like. | 13:20 |
| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: Kill it. | 13:20 |
| zortec | chocobanana: Which is easier? minimal install or usb install | 13:20 |
| === aymerick is now known as wirenet | ||
| gibbo | chi è italiano?? | 13:21 |
| zortec | chocobanana: I was doing the usb install | 13:21 |
| tbergeron | Hi! I'm trying to change my user and my root password but when I do a 'passwd' and I type my password and repeat it, it does nothing and my console freezes... Then I reconnect to it and see that my password hasn't changed... I try to reinstall passwd package but it changed nothing... | 13:21 |
| TheFunkbomb | yeah, instant decrease | 13:21 |
| tiyowan | !it | gibbo | 13:21 |
| ubottu | gibbo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 13:21 |
| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: Just curious...but what is npviewer.bin? | 13:21 |
| Slart | !root | tbergeron | 13:21 |
| ubottu | tbergeron: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:21 |
| Slart | tbergeron: but it shouldn't freeze... that's a bit odd.. | 13:21 |
| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: nvm, it's Adobe's Flash plugin | 13:21 |
| chocobanana | zortec: well, is the machine connected to the internet wired or wirelessly? | 13:22 |
| TheFunkbomb | tiyowan, yeah. I had two instances running. No wonder I was running 10 degrees higher than normal | 13:22 |
| zortec | chocobanana: Wired | 13:22 |
| Slart | tbergeron: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 13:22 |
| tbergeron | Slart: I have ubuntu server. And I have a root password. Hey I'm not a noob, this is serious I tried with several tips from my sysadmin aswell.... | 13:22 |
| chocobanana | go minimal then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:22 |
| tbergeron | Ubuntu Server 9 | 13:22 |
| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: Just drop down to the command line and kill the plugin everytime you finish using firefox. | 13:22 |
| wraith0x2b | ok I managed to install ubuntu. but it wrote over my already existing grub that picks it's files from a separate partition...how can I get that one back to use with ubuntu? | 13:23 |
| TheFunkbomb | yeah. I'll have to do that. Or find a fix | 13:23 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I'm downloading the files to create the usb install with unetbootin. | 13:23 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Great. :) | 13:23 |
| zortec | It's going to take awhile. :P | 13:23 |
| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: Go for it. | 13:23 |
| Slart | tbergeron: you've checked the logs? no info there? | 13:23 |
| xci | what program should I use to let some programs to use only some part of the bandwith at maximum? | 13:23 |
| TheFunkbomb | tiyowan, I'm looking at the forums now. | 13:23 |
| chocobanana | zortec: minimal iso is 10mb :D | 13:23 |
| tannersummers | tiyowan | 13:24 |
| zortec | This one is 699MB. | 13:24 |
| zortec | It's only 2% done. | 13:24 |
| tiyowan | chocobanana: He's getting the normal iso to use with unetbootin. | 13:24 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: ? | 13:24 |
| TheFunkbomb | zortec, you downloading via FTP or torrents? | 13:24 |
| tannersummers | http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i172/Tanner2007/finally.png | 13:25 |
| tannersummers | =] | 13:25 |
| zortec | I'm downloading from http://caesar.acc.umu.se/mirror/ubuntu-releases/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso | 13:25 |
| tiyowan | wraith0x2b: Could you please clarify your problem? | 13:25 |
| MikeChelen | xci, depends what kind of programs, for downloads id recommend using bittorrent | 13:25 |
| chocobanana | tiyowan: the idea is just to get it started quickly. poor soul has been dealing with this for 2 days :) | 13:25 |
| TheFunkbomb | tannersummers, how much ram do you have that you're using a 4.4gb swap? | 13:25 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: Awesome. | 13:25 |
| tannersummers | the funk bomb idk dud ei just made it sincei had to delete my old and gave it a good amount of mb | 13:26 |
| zortec | What advantage does the usb install have? | 13:26 |
| G_A_C | probably not much, TheFunkbomb. My 2Gb laptop has a 5.2Gb swapfile, that Ubuntu set up for as part of the autopartitioning | 13:26 |
| tannersummers | but physical i have 4 gb of ram | 13:26 |
| TheFunkbomb | you don't know how much ram you have? | 13:26 |
| tannersummers | o 4 gb | 13:26 |
| tannersummers | physical | 13:26 |
| TheFunkbomb | oh, that's about right then. | 13:27 |
| tbergeron | Slart: in which logfile should there be any infos about this? | 13:27 |
| stamenko | is there anyone here who have expirience with some software for statical analysis by finite elements analysis method ? | 13:27 |
| TheFunkbomb | Yeah, when I set up my Ubuntu, it gave me an 11gb swap. I was like "what the blazes?" I shrunk it down to 5gb | 13:27 |
| zortec | I still have to confirm that I can boot from usb in my bios. | 13:27 |
| Slart | tbergeron: well.. if the passwd binary fails for some reason I would guess the syslog.. possible kern.log | 13:27 |
| tiyowan | chocobanana: Agreed. But a systematic approach would help in solving the problem. :) | 13:27 |
| zortec | I really hope so. | 13:27 |
| tiyowan | tannersummers: So you did it huh? :) | 13:27 |
| chocobanana | tiyowan: either options are valid, let's wait and see the outcome of the first choice :) | 13:28 |
| wraith0x2b | tiyowan, I already had a linux installed, whit it's own grub and menu.lst. I installed ubuntu and grub reinstalled over my old one, so it gets it's files from my new ubuntu partition. if I decide to remove ubuntu I won't be able to boot again. so I want the old grub back. easy task? | 13:28 |
| tannersummers | tiyowan yup and school starts in less then 2 hours..screw that im sleeping all day haha brb guys thanks | 13:28 |
| nimrod | Hy! I need help whit Skype install on Ubuntu 9.04. I'v read posts on ubuntu forums, they say to install out of date version, and (...do this and that...)m but at first step I get - Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'... I'm realy satisfied whit ubuntu, but have issues to solve =) [like an ActionScript editor design for linux, no Wine tricks... but thats next step] - does this error have... | 13:28 |
| nimrod | ...something to do whit my CPU? | 13:28 |
| gorbierd | is there text editor that allow to choose character encoding? | 13:28 |
| tiyowan | chocobanana: Agreed. | 13:28 |

| jophish | wraith0x2b, very easy, using a live cd | 13:28 |

| Weed37 | hey guys my desktop has stopped doing effects and when i goto apperance in settings i get told unable to make changes u got any ideas | 13:29 |
| tiyowan | wraith0x2b: Sure. As long as you haven't done anything to your old partitions, it should be easy enough to setup grub to boot into the old partitions. | 13:29 |
| wraith0x2b | I chrooted from ubuntu and will attempt a grub install | 13:29 |
| wraith0x2b | old partition is fine | 13:29 |
| Slart | gorbierd: several.. scite would be one, I think.. Editra too..you can probably make vim/emacs do it too but I have no idea how.. pressing a gazillion keys at once perhaps =) | 13:29 |
| wraith0x2b | editing menu.lst as we speak..to allow booting of ubuntu | 13:29 |
| xieles | hi there | 13:29 |

| tiyowan | zortec: I'm going to go for a break now - you'll be around right? | 13:30 |
| xieles | My main aim is to install livezilla client in ubuntu | 13:30 |
| vk | what ? | 13:30 |
| tiyowan | xieles: Livezilla? What's that? | 13:30 |
| xieles | installatin went ok.. but I cannot open open live zilla | 13:30 |
| Weed37 | hey guys my desktop has stopped doing effects and when i goto apperance in settings i get told unable to make changes u got any ideas | 13:31 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I'll be around for a while. | 13:31 |
| xieles | Livezilla is a live chat program | 13:31 |
| Myrtti | nimrod: install from medibuntu if you need it | 13:31 |
| SirFunk_ | is there debs for a 2.6.30 kernel in jaunty? | 13:31 |
| xieles | it is only available in exe format | 13:31 |
| G_A_C | SirFunk_, there's a PPA for "mainline" kernels I think, ie kernels with no Ubuntu mods | 13:31 |
| G_A_C | that PPA might well have some | 13:31 |
| * clocKwize would like a AWN system-tray applet that takes up one icon area for each icon in the tray (e.g. they don't look like tray icons at all, but seperate icons) | 13:31 | |
| SirFunk_ | G_A_C: i want the ubuntu mods :-P | 13:32 |
| G_A_C | then probably not, unless you feel like upgrading to the unstable version and it has the right version :) | 13:32 |
| nimrod | <<< is googleing medibuntu.... | 13:32 |
| SirFunk_ | 9.10 will have 2.6.30 but i don't want to switch entirely to kermerik (or however you spell it) | 13:32 |
| tiyowan | xieles: Have you tried asking on the livezilla forums? | 13:32 |
| SirFunk_ | is there any way to just upgrade the kernel to what's in unstable? | 13:32 |
| wraith0x2b | ok grub reinstalled from chroot...wish me luck :D | 13:33 |

| soulwarp1 | Weed37: did you make changes to your graphics driver? | 13:33 |
| xieles | they do not provide anyinfo for installing it in linux machines.. | 13:33 |
| G_A_C | there is, SirFunk_,with apt pinning (I think it's called) | 13:33 |
| wraith0x2b | and it boots :D | 13:33 |
| vk | hi | 13:33 |
| xieles | so i tried to install it using wine | 13:33 |
| G_A_C | try googling for "apt pinning" or something like that, but I probably wouldn't want to do it with something as core as the kernel | 13:33 |
| SirFunk_ | G_A_C: ahh yes, that sounds familiar, i'll look into that | 13:33 |

| Weed37 | i | 13:38 |
| clocKwize | Markeh: put more ram in your system, a faster hard drive, a faster processor, then remove all modules and stuff that are being loaded that aren't needed, then use a light weight window manager, few start up apps etc | 13:38 |
| scunizi | wraith0x2b: wecome back | 13:38 |

| clocKwize | Markeh: you'll have some themes...but probably not the extent that gnome does...thats why it's lightweight..it's got less in it ;) | 13:43 |
| Markeh | Ah, ok. | 13:44 |

| Slart | tbergeron: well.. I haven't seen this problem before.. I've tried changing passwords using ssh or regular terminal.. I've tried it on a server install 9.04 in a vm.. it worked every time | 13:48 |
| Dawsey | tiyowan: Not during this install I can't but I haven't tried to access the terminal on the live cd. My cd drive and my hard drive are still active despite my screen being frozen so I have suspicion that the install is still going ahead. Does the ubuntu install require any prompts upon completion and how long does it take because I'm wondering if I can do it blindly | 13:49 |

| tbergeron | Slart: this is weird :S | 13:51 |
| tiyowan | Dawsey: Well, I'd recommend against rushing into the install blindly. Better to do a bit of testing with the Live CD first. Could you try that out now actually? Try booting into the Live CD, and checking whether you can get to a terminal when your system hangs. | 13:51 |
| clocKwize | guys, how do i know if my graphics card is fully accelerated etc? | 13:52 |
| Slart | tbergeron: and you are trying to change your regular user password? | 13:52 |
| tiyowan | Dawsey: Because it would be bad if you went ahead with the install only to find yourself with an unusable system. | 13:52 |
| Dawsey | tiyowan: Alright I will try but I will need to wait for it to freeze, what is a bash command that will cause a system beep on the live cd. | 13:52 |
| clocKwize | atm, i notice in vmware, it complains i don't have an hardware accelerator and it will decrease performance or something | 13:53 |
| histo | Dawsey: what version of ubuntu are you trying to install? | 13:53 |
| tiyowan | Dawsey: beep? | 13:53 |
| Dawsey | histo: 9.04 | 13:53 |
| macvr | clocKwize: vmware with win7? | 13:53 |
| histo | tiyowan: I don't think beep is installed by default | 13:53 |
| Vonoff | Dawsey, the beep command | 13:54 |
| zortec | tiyowan: 60% done | 13:54 |
| tiyowan | Dawsey, histo: echo -en "\007" | 13:54 |
| histo | Dawsey: THe other option is to install with the alternate iso. | 13:54 |
| Slart | !info beep | 13:54 |
| ubottu | beep (source: beep): advanced pc-speaker beeper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-22 (jaunty), package size 23 kB, installed size 100 kB | 13:54 |
| clocKwize | macvr: yes, and os x | 13:54 |
| scunizi | clocKwize: do you mean the vm'd os complains? | 13:54 |
| clocKwize | no, i mean vm has a popup saying it that | 13:54 |
| clocKwize | vmware* | 13:54 |
| CheBuzz | Does anybody know why USB events (adding/removing devices) no longer shows up in the syslog? | 13:54 |
| Dawsey | tiyowan: When the screen is frozen on my old kubunt to install I could ctrl-alt-f1 into a terminal and type a command to system beep but I couldn't actually see anyhting my monitor would continue to display the frozen screen | 13:54 |
| CheBuzz | Running 8.04. Working until about 1 week ago. | 13:54 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Ok. | 13:55 |
| mmm4m5m | Dawsey: Ctrl+G does beep | 13:55 |
| scunizi | clocKwize: that's weird because vmware can be run headless with no gui at all. why would it care if it was running in an accelerated environment or not. Have you installed vmware tools in the vm you're running? | 13:55 |
| tiyowan | Dawsey: Were you able to use your old kubuntu system properly eventually? | 13:55 |
| macvr | clocKwize: i get the same, its because vmware uses a software emulation of ur graphics card... | 13:56 |
| Dawsey | tiyowan: yeah when I eventually configured the xorg.conf correctly to work with the nvidia drivers all the freezing stopped completely | 13:56 |
| histo | Dawsey: so you are experiencing a problem with the nv drivers. You can install the restrcited drivers on the live cd. | 13:57 |
| scunizi | clocKwize: macvr is correct for running virtual machines.. it does help to have vmware tools installed in the vm you're running. | 13:57 |

| ManDay | No. It still works perfectly fine | 13:58 |
| macvr | clocKwize: u can try virtualbox, they have a new experimental 3D acceleration with is suppoed to use the graphics card , but it doesnt work for my card u can try it though... | 13:58 |
| scunizi | clocKwize: all virtual machines do becausee it's creating a layer between the virtual machine and your actual machine.. a vm can't access the video card directly. | 13:59 |
| tiyowan | Dawsey: Sorry, I was afk. Well. It's up to you then. If you've got some time on your hands, then I suppose you could skip the testing, and try installing from the alternate installer, and then pop back in here and have some of the folks help you setup your card properly from the get-go. | 13:59 |
| clocKwize | well, anyway, i'm not too bothered about vmware problem | 13:59 |
| clocKwize | i just want to know if my actual ubuntu install is picking up the correct display drivers and being accelerated? | 13:59 |

| Dawsey | tiyowan: I guess so, I'm going to try installing one more time before I go to sleep, considering the hard drive / cd rom activity and my prior experience of things still running behind the frozen screen I think I may try and install despite it being frozen. | 14:01 |

| ManDay | I know zortec but what goes in there? | 14:08 |
| ManDay | for f3 for instance | 14:08 |
| scampbell | ManDay: zero means the old behaviour there. It doesn't change which key. | 14:08 |
| ManDay | Hm. I wish I could change it then | 14:09 |
| scampbell | ManDay: and, of course, if you set to zero and some Java page doesn't let you backspace you know why. | 14:09 |
| ManDay | Yes | 14:09 |
| zortec | Manday: That just controls the behavior. I don't know of anything that changes the shortcut. | 14:09 |

| TheFunkbomb | quinn, that's when you try to delete it via the gui? | 14:13 |
| wattson | where can i find a full "guide" (a simple one) that could introduce me to all of nUbuntu's utilities(for ex:spoonwep,the bluetooth utilities etc..) | 14:13 |
| quinn | yes | 14:13 |
| TheFunkbomb | quinn, what happens if you try to delete it through terminal? | 14:14 |
| tiyowan | TheFunkbomb: Interesting...perhaps it's the other way around? The plugin crashes and refuses to close even when firefox has been closed? | 14:14 |
| zortec | wattson: Did you try google? | 14:14 |
| racarter | is there a way to tell firefox to use a different sound device? | 14:14 |
| TheFunkbomb | tiyowan, we shall see. | 14:14 |
| wattson | yes i did | 14:14 |
| Pici | wattson: nUbuntu is not an official Ubuntu distribution, so you should try from wherever you got it from. | 14:14 |
| erUSUL | wattson: ubuntu pocket guide ? ubuntu guide ? | 14:14 |
| racarter | i think it's just flash I'm concerned about htough | 14:14 |
| racarter | though* | 14:14 |
| quinn | TheFunkbomb, i will try it now | 14:14 |
| tiyowan | zortec: I'm an optimist. You'll be Ubuntu'ed within 12 days. | 14:14 |
| TheFunkbomb | hi pici! LTNS | 14:14 |
| wattson | i found a guide about ubuntu,but not about nUbuntu | 14:15 |
| cptblood | works when trying to access bios etc, but when ubuntu has started, it just wont accept the dinovo keys, only mouse pad (when in "mouse-mode") | 14:15 |
| TheFunkbomb | wattson, this is not a nUbuntu support channel | 14:15 |
| Pici | TheFunkbomb: hi. | 14:15 |

| TheFunkbomb | this is an Ubuntu support channel. | 14:16 |
| Myrtti | wattson: _Ubuntu_ support | 14:16 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Indeed. Out of curiosity...do you have a linux user group near your location? It really helps to have more people physically present to provide assistance. | 14:16 |
| zortec | What is nUbuntu? | 14:16 |
| histo | wattson: you can search for apps in synaptic or use the command line apropos (search term) or man -k (search term) you need to learn how ot use the man pages. | 14:16 |
| quinn | TheFunkbomb, it says the exact same thing | 14:16 |
| Slart | zortec: a distro derived from ubuntu | 14:16 |
| histo | wattson: there is tons of documentation built in to ubuntu in the man pages. | 14:16 |
| TheFunkbomb | quinn, that's certainly a doozy | 14:16 |
| cptblood | anyone have an idea what could be causing this? | 14:17 |
| zortec | tiyowan: There may be some lugs around here... I didn't look into it too much. | 14:17 |
| scampbell | ManDay: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#keys <-- I found that on how to reassign keys. FWIW, I stick with my "consider not changing it", just adapt to alt-larrow. We can assume more code will come making that a problem. | 14:17 |

| wattson | my problem is that this is the first time i run nUbuntu.i got fed up with windows | 14:18 |
| zortec | Wattson: You can also usually apt-get which is faster than going through the gui. | 14:18 |

| quinn | TheFunkbomb, OK | 14:19 |
| zortec | wattson: It's the text based version of synaptic. So if you know a certain package that you want to install you just do sudo apt-get "package" | 14:19 |
| Slart | wattson: why not run the regular ubuntu? why use a rather narrow distro like nubuntu? | 14:19 |

| itshorty | hello! uptime and w shows "0 users" but i am logged in with a nonsystem accout? anybody an answer to this strange behavior? | 14:30 |
| Vlet | wattson: the slowness is likely caused by the system having to read off the CD; perhaps running off a nice thumb drive or a faster CDrom? | 14:30 |
| JDShewey | zeeble: it's like top, but for disk io. It tells you which processes are using how much time reading from and writing to your disk. | 14:31 |

| zortec | I have been at this for 2 days now. | 14:55 |
| TheFunkbomb | zortec, what card do you have? | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zortec 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 "--" | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | ST47: could be this known problem https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes#Lock-ups%20when%20deleting%20files%20from%20ext4%20filesystems ? | 14:55 |

| zortec | Jack_Sparrow: I tried safe graphics mode, didn't remove quiet and splash from the command line though. | 14:56 |
| nonono | ye | 14:56 |

| Slart | patinhofeio: have you looked at rtorrent? | 14:56 |

| tkmr | paolo: do you know if it is an onboard sound card, or a dedicated card? | 15:09 |
| Vlet | paolo: We can try. It's best to provide as many details with your question. No one here is magic as far as I know | 15:09 |

| Jack_Sparrow | zortec Sorry, those often help. | 15:10 |
| dfs1 | pici have just read an article that ubuntu 9.04 is gone from bad to worse in supporting intel graphics card. so i have no choice but to downgrade | 15:10 |
| zortec | The only other option I can think of is the minimal install. | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dfs1 revert to a backup from 8.10 | 15:11 |
| zortec | I'm so frustrated, been working on this for awhile. | 15:11 |
| slobad23 | dfs1, ubuntu 9.04 is the only linux i can get to boot on my samsung q4 unfortunately so i HAVE to use it without great support for its intel graphics :( | 15:11 |
| paolo | the audio card is onboard, the motherboard is an intel and the alsa driver version is 1.0.18rc3 | 15:11 |

| cluster2 | is there some way to actually login as a root account in ubuntu? | 15:14 |
| tkmr | paolo: obviously make sure everything is plugged in... check your hardware drivers and your settings to make sure that the card is the default sound player | 15:14 |

| spsneo | my ubuntu is not showing me the wifi connections whereas my vista is showing . any suggestions.? | 15:14 |
| zortec | tiyowan The usb install didn't work. It was already set in the bios to boot from the usb and it would not boot. | 15:14 |
| Vlet | cluster2: what happened before you rebooted? | 15:14 |
| cluster2 | well, its been 6 months, so alot | 15:14 |
| Severity1 | okay spsneo | 15:15 |
| slobad23 | spsneo, what wireless card do you have? | 15:15 |
| Severity1 | spsneo, what wifi device are you using? usb wireless? | 15:15 |

| Vlet | cluster2: well, only you know what you might have done to break it, but you can reboot into single user mode to get a root shell | 15:16 |
| spsneo | no its dell studio 15 laptop | 15:16 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Okay. :) So let's try the next option. Have you tried doing an alternate install? | 15:16 |
| Severity1 | try installing linux-backports-module | 15:16 |
| cluster2 | > Sorry, user cluster is not allowed to execute '/bin/echo foo' as root on cluster-laptop. | 15:16 |
| zortec | tiyowan So now try a minimal install? I think that is all that is left to do. | 15:16 |
| tkmr | paolo: give me a second. I know where it is in Kubuntu, but not Ubuntu... XD | 15:16 |
| zortec | tiyowan: Alternate install had a bug where it did not find my cdrom. | 15:16 |
| geirha | cluster2: Ok, when you run groups, is admin listed? | 15:16 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Well, standard install's out. USB install's not possible. Alternate install can't find the CD. Hmm. | 15:16 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I had no drivers for the cdrom so it would loop. | 15:17 |
| cluster2 | no, the groups are root and a couple of custom groups | 15:17 |
| tkmr | paolo: ok, go to System->Preferences->Sound | 15:17 |
| paolo | ok! thank you | 15:17 |
| paolo | ok | 15:17 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Should try the minimal install now. | 15:17 |
| tkmr | paolo: everything should be "autodetect" try changing it to your card and testing it. | 15:18 |
| cluster2 | so i can reboot into a root shell and add the admin group should do it? | 15:18 |
| zortec | tiyowan: Will it detect my wired network? | 15:18 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I'll want to get back in the IRC room :) | 15:18 |
| spsneo | Severity1: I am having dell studio 15 laptop | 15:18 |
| paolo | here there are a lot of devices, but there is an only audio card on my computer! I try to select autodetect, but without results | 15:18 |
| tiyowan | zortec: I don't think it should be a problem. Anyway, if it doesn't, you could always boot into Windows temporarily. | 15:19 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I did write down the package irssi | 15:19 |
| slobad23 | spsneo, if you open a terminal and type 'lspci' it should tell you what wireless chipset you have | 15:19 |
| tkmr | paolo: Try selecting (your card) Digital (ALSA) | 15:19 |
| spsneo | currently I am accessing net from vista.. as I am not able to connect to wireless from ubuntu | 15:20 |
| geirha | cluster2: recovery mode -> "adduser yourusername admin", but you are missing some other groups too, like audio (to use audio cards) and plugdev (to have access to pluggable devices) etc... | 15:20 |
| paolo | tkmr: ok .... just a moment | 15:20 |
| spsneo | slobad23: ^^ | 15:20 |
| spsneo | slobad23: Severity1 : its broadcom netlink card | 15:20 |
| cluster2 | where can i get a list of the default groups that ubuntu supports? somehow i guess i nuked my users groups | 15:21 |
| legend2440 | is there a hardware compatibility list for jaunty that will tell me which video cards are compatible? the ubuntu HCL i found looks to be very outdated | 15:21 |
| zortec | legend2440: I would like that list too. | 15:21 |
| davidh38 | erUSUL: thx for the answer | 15:21 |
| slobad23 | spsneo, http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netlink.php - they have linux drivers here | 15:21 |
| davidh38 | erUSUL: a bit late but :) | 15:21 |
| tiyowan | legend2440: Well...9.04's still pretty new so I'd imagine it'd be difficult to gather the data. | 15:22 |
| paolo | tkmr: the test, after i select digital alsa, answer me with an error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: aound not open audio device for playback | 15:22 |
| legend2440 | tiyowan: yes thats true | 15:22 |
| spsneo | slobad23: problem is very peculiar. .. my ubuntu previously used to detect wifi and presently it detects some wifi links which are of no use to me.. but it does not detect just one wifi link which is of use to me. so I guess this is not the problem of wifi driver. any suggestions? | 15:23 |
| zortec | tiyowan: I'm going to burn the ISO for the minimal install and give it a whirl. | 15:23 |
| tiyowan | legend2440: But such a list would be indispensable. | 15:23 |
| p1oooop1 | hey all, anyone have quick questions? | 15:23 |
| tiyowan | zortec: Yes, please do that. If you experience any problems with the minimal install, then I'd suggest to take your box to the local user group. :) | 15:24 |

| pulse_ | hello. I tried to install ubuntu 9 on virtual pc, and after the installation process I get an error when logging in "your home directory does not appear to exist". Did I miss something ? | 15:30 |
| spsneo | Jack_Sparrow: problem is that I am able to connect from vista.. but ubuntu is not even showing that link | 15:30 |
| pulse_ | should I get ubuntu 8 ? | 15:30 |
| pulse_ | I tried installing it like 5 times | 15:30 |
| spsneo | Jack_Sparrow: what can be the possible reason... ? | 15:30 |
| bullgard4 | pulse_: There is neither ubuntu 9 nor ubuntu 8. | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | spsneo the drivers for your net card may not have the encryption/security features required | 15:31 |
| Frantic | guys, I have a WPA2 AP with hidden ssid, I'm trying to connect via wpa_supplicant, if I try with wpa_supplicant v 0.5.x, it works, if I try with v0.6.x, it says the APs ssid doesnt match when scanning, any idea why? :-z | 15:31 |
| pulse_ | bullgard4: ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386 ? | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | spsneo See the guy above and wpa supplicant | 15:32 |
| Frantic | also, it might not be wpa_supplicant, in the process of updating I've also always updated from 2.6.28 to 2.6.29, I've repeated the whole cycle twice, without the updates it works, with them it doesn't | 15:32 |

| pl3ktrum | any solutions? | 15:36 |
| arand | pl3ktrum: hmm, I'm not sure wubi supports win7 yet... so the boot screen just gives you windows as usual? | 15:36 |

| arand | darthanubis: That's not the spirit, play-it and break-it is everyone's roght ;) | 15:38 |

| lfaraone | hey, how can I make it so that no binaries can be marked +x in a directory without putting the directory on a fs marked noexec? | 15:38 |
| tiyowan | pl3ktrum: I'd suspect incompatibility between Wubi and Windows 7. Considering that Windows 7 isn't all that different from its predecessor, the next logical step would be try to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. | 15:39 |

| froes | hi. i have 9.04 installed on my system, but it wont recognize 4GB. it only shows 3GB. is there a way to make it work ? | 15:41 |
| arand | pl3ktrum: I don't know what kind of boot manager win7 uses, but presumably wubi has problems with modifying it to make it boot, I know dual-booting with ubuntu on separate partition and grub as the main bootmanager should work though.. | 15:41 |
| spsneo | ohk | 15:41 |
| Slart | froes: 32bit? | 15:41 |
| Crayboff | uhh lfaraone you know how to get it fixed? | 15:41 |
| spsneo | geirha: what is the solution in that case? | 15:41 |
| Crayboff | i'm on jaunty | 15:41 |
| geirha | spsneo: No idea I'm afraid, but it mentions using "iw reg". Try reading the man-page of iw. "man iw" | 15:42 |

| Crayboff | awww i was really hoping for skype | 15:43 |
| Crayboff | any of you know if ekiga works well in Vista? | 15:43 |

| gordonjcp | not offhand, nothing special though | 15:46 |
| Slart | froes: not really.. you could of course backup your home folder and do a reinstall and then restore that backup.. I think that will work | 15:46 |

| gordonjcp | legend2440: I'm not on that machine just now, and it's turned off | 15:48 |
| froes | Slart, what do you suggest? the 64 or the PAE ? does the 64 works fine? what about software writen for the 32 system ? | 15:48 |

| ubottu | radio: 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 :) | 16:17 |
| zortec | G_A_C: Basically what I want to do is take the 30GB I created in Windows and set up a 1-2GB swap and the rest for / | 16:17 |
| lula88 | whois blackmoon | 16:17 |
| radio | ok | 16:17 |
| G_A_C | zortec, I think you're prefixing the wrong name, I haven't been keeping tabs on your partitioning problems | 16:18 |
| zortec | G_A_C: Sorry, I must have the wrong user | 16:18 |
| arand | zortec: Hmm, okay I think you'll need to delete the 30GB partition and use the free space there to create two new partitions | 16:18 |
| everwicked | hm... interesting | 16:19 |
| lula88 | zortec | 16:19 |
| zortec | arand: I'm a litlte worried about doing that arand because it asks some questions like do you want the partition at the beginning and end | 16:19 |
| arand | This 30B is more or less blank at the moment right? | 16:19 |

| netdata | i installed bacula on ubuntu 9.04 tried to start it but it keeps failing. i installed and re installed but it is till failling. | 16:19 |
| everwicked | I changed the permissions of /etc/sudoers to 0644 by mistake and now sudo won't work... how to fix it? | 16:19 |
| zortec | arand: It also wants to know other information that I don't know anything about... like different boot options, etc | 16:19 |
| brandonban6 | G_A_C, were there any special dependencies you had to install to Hamachi working? I get it installed, but it just hangs up in "retrieving nicks" on both the CLI and the GUI, i've also tried different networks. | 16:19 |
| netdata | can someon help pls | 16:19 |
| zortec | arand: It is blank | 16:19 |
| Slart | everwicked: boot from a live cd.. or use the recovery mode | 16:19 |
| Slart | netdata: why not give us some details.. | 16:20 |
| zortec | arand: 184GB is free. The 30GB I created in Windows as a new partition | 16:20 |
| everwicked | Slart, then I'm fucked, this is a remote server :S | 16:20 |
| Slart | everwicked: not only that.. you'll be kicked out of here if you keep up that language | 16:20 |
| G_A_C | brandonban6, no dependencies, no. I just extracted the tarball, did the standard "make install" steps, put my configs into /etc/hamachi/ so it can run without me being logged in, and pulled an initscript from the Ubuntu forums | 16:20 |
| blackmoon | no one? | 16:20 |
| everwicked | Slart, woops | 16:20 |
| netdata | okay | 16:20 |
| G_A_C | brandonban6, it all seemed to work perfectly first time, and I've just done "hamachi list" and "hamachi get-nicks", everything is working fine | 16:21 |
| arand | zortec: The beginning-end thin I think is just when you have this unused space, when you are creating the new partition, where in the unused space do you want to create it (beginning/end) | 16:21 |
| zortec | arand: But what if I put the partition in the wrong spot? I don't want to wipe my data again | 16:21 |
| brandonban6 | Thanks G_A_C, I'll play around some more see if I can get things kicking. | 16:22 |
| zortec | arand: That was the last experience I had with partitioning... | 16:22 |
| nano404 | Hey, I need a bit of help. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a external hard drive. Its not working, but now I can't start the laptop without having the external drive or else I get GRUB loader error #21. And when I get past that screen I get a windows blue screen with a stop error. | 16:22 |

| genii | everwicked: It's the chicken-egg problem of no permission to run sudo to change sudoers file permissions back to 440, etc etc. Unfortunately in this case you don't have the option of booting to single user mode to bypass that part. | 16:24 |
| everwicked | genii, so what do I do? | 16:24 |
| emad | salam | 16:24 |
| === synthjc is now known as joc | ||
| emad | hello | 16:25 |
| === joc is now known as jocr | ||
| genii | everwicked: Get ahold of whoever CAN get to the console of the box and have them reboot it to single user, change the file to proper valuses and then reboot to regular | 16:25 |
| emad | --> | 16:25 |
| arand | zortec: In the manual partitioner you will only be able to create a new partition in empty space, so if you make sure to delete only the right thing, the partition will only be created in the unused space. | 16:25 |
| everwicked | hrm, I see... let's see if this rescue netboot thing they got will work | 16:26 |
| genii | everwicked: There's not really any other way in this case | 16:26 |
| everwicked | thanks genii | 16:26 |

| Slart | bigmb: isn't the default password available from some install log? | 16:35 |

| bigmb | slart: I installed it using synaptics and I never saw anything concerning it. | 16:36 |
| zortec | I'm really worried about losing my data going through the partition tool. | 16:37 |
| arand | zortec: You should be able to, although you would have to shrink it to make room for swap, and reformat it, since windows probably created it as "ntfs" and ubuntu don't like that filesystem (ext3 is what is normally used) | 16:37 |
| zortec | It happened before, so I want to take caution. | 16:37 |
| Slart | bigmb: but I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the mysql documentation.. why not have a look at their site.. it's bound to be a frequently asked question | 16:37 |
| Jasa | bigmb: When i tried mythtv and it installed mysql it asked to define the password like 3 times during package installs. | 16:37 |
| sidh | thanks Vlet | 16:37 |
| Jasa | bigmb: It could be stored at /etc/mysql/my.conf | 16:37 |

| porter1 | What is the best way to test LDAP connections in ubuntu? | 16:37 |

| Vlet | darkham: you want to uninstall the package manager? | 16:42 |
| arand | zortec: As far as I know, it would make little or no difference in your case, (presuming now that you are using the manual partitioning tool and creating a new partition in empty space). If anyone in the channel objects: SHOUT. | 16:42 |
| Slart | darkham: sudo apt-get install --reinstall synaptic ought to do it | 16:42 |

| arand | zortec: Swap is used when physicalmemory runs low, or when you hibernate the computer, if you do want hibernation, you'd need more than 3GB (since all memory has to be saved "frozen" on disk). | 16:51 |

| zortec | mdm: Isn't swap 1.5x the amount of physical RAM you have? | 16:55 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: although typically you would work backwards from that guide to undo the changes you have made | 16:55 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: that is also not an officially supported method | 16:55 |
| zortec | mdm: I know that is the rules for Windows. | 16:55 |
| daniella_ | trued ifdown ifup on my wireless card but god a message that the card is not configured | 16:55 |
| ssn | i get that | 16:55 |
| daniella_ | what might that be? | 16:55 |
| Russian | Êòî-íèáóäü çíàåò ðóññêèé? I'm not speak English. :( | 16:55 |
| Slart | zortec: there are no good rules for this.. at least 1xRAM if you're going to use hibernation.. the rest depends on what you do with the computer | 16:56 |
| ssn | Paddy_EIRE: if i knew which paket to reinstall to overwrite the changes | 16:56 |
| mdm | zortec: swap is used to map physical memory. you need as much as you have physical for the swapper to run efficiently. | 16:56 |

| zortec | Slart: I want to do some gaming on the computer | 16:56 |
| flintwingel | zortec: the "rule" always used to be swap=2xRAM, these days its less important - if you want hibernation you need enough space to store the memory dump so swap>RAM | 16:56 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: as I said there is no magic button or package to revert the changes you made | 16:56 |

| daniella_ | can anyone help me please? | 16:56 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: my guess is you where previously using the "ati" open driver | 16:57 |
| Vlet | !ask | daniella_ | 16:57 |
| ubottu | daniella_: 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. :-) | 16:57 |
| ssn | Paddy_EIRE: thats my guess to | 16:57 |
| ssn | but just a guess | 16:57 |
| Slart | zortec: sounds good.. I used 3GB when I ran some large matlab simulations.. other times I've had swap disabled entirely | 16:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darkham gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put ## at the front of all lines from 53 down and try to update again. I would NOT have used the linuxMint Repo as you have done | 16:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | let me have a look ssn | 16:57 |
| Myrtti | daniella_: did you try to restart wicd? | 16:57 |
| daniella_ | Vlet, already asked the question, no need to look for a reson to use bots | 16:57 |
| franczen | poboy975: yes, try that, and reboot | 16:57 |
| ssn | Paddy_EIRE: how :D | 16:57 |
| poboy975 | ok will do, brb thanks | 16:57 |
| zortec | Slart: Is there any downside to having swap disabled or not creating a swap file? | 16:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: just a moment I am having a read at that guide | 16:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daniella_ We dont need a reason, please dont post HelpMe etc | 16:58 |
| daniella_ | Myrtti, yes, didn't work neither is that a solution :) | 16:58 |
| daniella_ | can't do that every time | 16:58 |
| Slart | zortec: if you have enough memory.. not that I know of | 16:58 |
| white_ | anyone know about gtk-gnutella? | 16:58 |
| Vlet | daniella_: well, when I look over at my irc terminal and within that screenview see a person having only said, "can anyone help me" I assume they haven't asked a question | 16:58 |
| zortec | mdm: What happens if you don't create a swap and you run out? | 16:58 |
| daniella_ | Jack Sparrow, it's not a help me it was a long informative message should read it before complaining | 16:58 |
| Slart | white_: is that your real question? | 16:58 |
| Russian | Âñåì ïîêà. :) Good-bye. :) | 16:58 |
| chazco | Are there any repositories still providing updates for Ubuntu 7.10? | 16:59 |
| mdm | zortec swap is not bad, it is not something you need to avoid. In fact it is a necessary part of an efficient running box. You WANT swap, you WANT to have enough memory to swap out everything. This is why people tell you to put in as much as you have physical. | 16:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daniella_ please drop the thread. thanks | 16:59 |
| daniella_ | Vlet, please give people some more credit then that, check up stairs :) | 16:59 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: could you try and follow this guide and let me know how you get on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 16:59 |

| white_ | slart yes | 16:59 |
| diffred | I need to have compiz running in order to get the terminal wallpaper running? http://maketecheasier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/terminal-desktop.jpg | 16:59 |
| daniella_ | Myrtti, any other idea? | 16:59 |
| zortec | mdm: And swap is only used if you run out right? | 16:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !attitude > daniella_ | 16:59 |
| ubottu | daniella_, please see my private message | 16:59 |
| Slart | white_: ok, then the answer is yes.. several people know about gtk-gnutella | 16:59 |
| zortec | mdm: Otherwise, swap file is just dormant. | 16:59 |
| white_ | Slart: im having trouble updating to 0.96.6 | 17:00 |
| mdm | zortec if you run out of memory, the box will not run more programs, things will start crashing and you will get some seriously screwed up programs. | 17:00 |
| chazco | Are there any repositories still providing updates for Ubuntu 7.10? | 17:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chazco no | 17:00 |
| poboy975 | franczen: ok that worked. thanks. I didnt see anything about running that in the howto's I found | 17:00 |
| chazco | Jack_Sparrow - Ah bad news... thanks :( | 17:00 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !eol | chazco | 17:00 |
| ubottu | chazco: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 17:00 |
| Slart | white_: oh no.. no follow up questions.. you just wanted to know if someone knew about gtk-gnutella | 17:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chazco you will need to see old-repos. | 17:00 |
| flintwingel | zortec: you can never be quite sure how much memory may be needed unless to know what apps you want to run and hwo much data they will have | 17:00 |
| mdm | and zortec no swap is used as the system starts, in fact its very first use is by the kernel before any program are ever run | 17:00 |
| darkham | Jack_Sparrow: nothing appens.... | 17:00 |
| Slart | white_: see what I meant by the "real question" now? | 17:00 |
| daniella_ | ubottu, why do you speak for him, i know peole here are volunteers yet i asked very polite with a lot of information and expected a nice attitude back, it should go both ways | 17:01 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:01 |
| geirha | chazco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades | 17:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darkham then something has gone wrong with all of the changes and odd repos. you can try !aptfix | 17:01 |
| daniella_ | when i will have enough knowledge and sit here and help others, i would do it with grace | 17:01 |
| chazco | Jack_Sparrow - Was looking to see if it still gets security updates... was considering downgrading to it (last version that worked well for me) | 17:01 |
| zortec | mdm, flintwingel: So on the safe side, create a swap for as much physical RAM you have. | 17:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptfix | 17:01 |
| 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 » | 17:01 |
| flintwingel | zortec: yes | 17:01 |
| Vlet | daniella_: sorry :) ... but it's tough when a single question is spread out over time like that... anyway, I've little experience with wifi.. sorry :-/ | 17:01 |
| chazco | geirha - Used loads of versions but 7.10 is the last one that worked well for me | 17:01 |
| Jasa | mdm: Well it doesn't require swap to boot linux or use, i have made couple installs without any swap partitions or files ... worked same way as normally. | 17:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daniella_ MAy I have a word please | 17:02 |
| daniella_ | Vlet, thank you very much for being such a gentleman. appreciate it | 17:02 |
| ssn | Paddy_EIRE: any solution? | 17:02 |
| daniella_ | Jack_Sparrow, of course dear | 17:02 |
| darkham | Jack_Sparrow: ok. How can i change the server of upgrades? i've server.unina.net, or something like | 17:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: I sent you a link | 17:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: could you try and follow this guide and let me know how you get on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 17:02 |
| mdm | zortec think of it this way, a program starts and asked for 1G of memory. It starts up and runs, but it now only needs 100M of memory. The swapper sees this and swaps out the unused memory segments freeing up physical memory for other uses. This is quite typical of program behavior and it is wanted behavior | 17:02 |
| geirha | chazco: What problems are you having with 8.04 then? | 17:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: that should fix your problem | 17:02 |
| erUSUL | daniella_: ifup and ifdown only work with interfaces de defined /etc/network/interfaces afaik. not for ones managed by NetworkManager. Could be wrong though | 17:03 |
| mdm | and yes Jasa you do not NEED swap, you WANT swap | 17:03 |
| ssn | Paddy_EIRE: thx | 17:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ssn: no problem | 17:03 |
| darkham | !atpfix | 17:03 |

| zhanghe | How can i turn on 3D | 17:11 |
| pragad7 | slart opengl | 17:11 |
| franczen | I did a clean install of Jaunty. Since then, my laptop's wifi (Atheros AR2413) doesn't work. It sees all the available networks, it just simply does not connect. First thing I tried is to test my router. But with other boxes it worked as it should. Then I tried to disable the encryption, but still the same. Jaunty comes with ath5k driver by default. This apparently didn't work for me, so I enabled madwifi, which worked since Fiest | 17:11 |
| chazco | geirha - Yep, it used to in 7.10, since then issues have turned up | 17:11 |
| darkham | genii: i only look the repos | 17:11 |
| franczen | y. The same issue. As third option I tried ndiswrapper (this also worked in all previous versions). The same simptome. After Googling around, I found that for some people it was a solution to completely remove network-manager, and install wicd instead. No success. Any ideas? | 17:11 |

| Gourlis | :D | 17:18 |
| cellofellow | Gourlis: yeah, you want more than that to allow hibernation. | 17:18 |
| Slart | !swap | 17:18 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 17:18 |
| chaos2fu | where can i find the logs myrtti? | 17:19 |
| chris_osx | Gourlis: that's ok | 17:19 |
| darkham | Myrtti: i've installed the mint menu from 1 mint repo: i only installed other 3 packages, but this was appened one week ago | 17:19 |
| phar0z | how Can I save my alsamixer settings? isn't it alsactl store? | 17:19 |
| Gourlis | ok guys thanks a lot! :) | 17:19 |
| mdm | thanks Slart, if I knew that bot had that I wouldn't have had to type that long explanation by hand :) | 17:19 |
| franczen | bastidrazor: thanks for the link, but this is simply the ath5k driver. jaunty has this by default | 17:19 |
| Slart | mdm: =) | 17:19 |
| bastidrazor | franczen, so does 8.10 but it fails to work correctly. | 17:20 |
| Myrtti | darkham: there you go then. that's a no-no. | 17:20 |

| ostile17 | hello to all :) | 17:20 |
| phar0z | bastidrazor, I've fixed it with wireless-compat | 17:21 |
| ostile17 | I have a simple question, who can help me? | 17:21 |
| djuggler | On Ubuntu 8.04, I can be in the middle of typing something and the screen will fade to gray, I'll lose the ability to type, it will fade back to normal, then fade to gray and repeat this several times throughout the day. Is this some kind of confused powersave mode? | 17:21 |
| Gourlis | Slart, can you give me again the url please with swap FAQ because I wanna know if I delete swap partition where that space will go. | 17:21 |
| bastidrazor | franczen, there you go.. wireless-compat | 17:21 |
| darkham | Myrtti: i haven't done anything in my system froma week.... | 17:21 |
| sidh | on my laptop the reboot process stops because of the wireless driver | 17:21 |
| djuggler | ostile17: you have to ask the question, not permission to ask the question | 17:21 |
| bastidrazor | phar0z, thanks for the info will make a note | 17:21 |

| ostile17 | I would know if I can see assembly syntax on gedit | 17:22 |
| ostile17 | I need it | 17:22 |
| Slart | !swap | Gourlis | 17:22 |
| ubottu | Gourlis: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 17:22 |
| Gourlis | thank you Slart | 17:22 |
| mdm | look its not like doubling 16G of memory to 32G of haddrive space is costly. Hell the disk is probably a 300G or bigger. It is basically a no briner, just 2x your physical memory and be done with it | 17:22 |
| Slart | Gourlis: you're welcome | 17:22 |
| cptblood | if i wanna update alsamixer, do i need to purge it first? | 17:22 |
| Slart | cptblood: no | 17:23 |
| ostile17 | ...? | 17:23 |
| Myrtti | darkham: if you want mint, install mint, if you want ubuntu, install ubuntu, BUT DON'T MIX | 17:23 |
| sidh | on my laptop the reboot process stops because of the wireless driver, to make it work ok i have to rmmod the wireless driver first, so is there a "gnome" way to execute 'rmmod my_wireless_driver' before rebooting, or do i have to create an appropriate rc0.d/SXscript ? | 17:23 |
| Myrtti | !mint > darkham | 17:23 |
| ubottu | darkham, please see my private message | 17:23 |
| Slart | cptblood: apt can update it in-place, so to speak | 17:23 |
| elad | Can I make jar files behave like executables? Meaning, can I ./file.jar, and have it automatically execute "java -jar filename.jar" or something like that? | 17:24 |
| ostile17 | someone know how I can see assembly syntax on gedit? | 17:24 |
| cptblood | Slart: which is the latest version? i've got .18 | 17:24 |
| Slart | elad: you might get better answers for that in a java oriented channel.. isn't there a ##java? | 17:24 |
| sharperguy | How do I get back/forward buttons on firefox 3? I tried the whole right-clicking next to the address bar and clicking customise, but the back/forward buttons are greyed out so I cannot drag them to the bar | 17:24 |
| Gourlis | Slart, as I understood if you have 2GB of RAM your swap must be 1GB at least. Am I right? :D | 17:25 |
| n0gear | has anyone managed to get fuj:tech usb tv working in ubuntu 9.04? | 17:26 |
| Slart | cptblood: 1.0.18 is what I've got on jaunty, 64bit | 17:26 |
| cptblood | same here, guess it's latest then | 17:26 |
| cptblood | 32bit tho | 17:26 |
| Slart | Gourlis: there are no set limits.. you don't *have to* have swap at all | 17:26 |
| mcphail | elad: as far as i know you can't do that directly | 17:26 |
| Gourlis | oki | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | chaos2fu: I can't seem to find the log out of memory - you could ask the vpn admin to check up theirs as well? | 17:27 |
| Slart | Gourlis: if you want to use hibernation you have to have at least as much swap as memory though.. | 17:27 |
| mcphail | elad: easy enough to write a single line script that will call it, though | 17:27 |
| tom2600 | tom2600 | 17:27 |
| tom2600 | siema ludzie | 17:27 |
| chris_osx | are there intel gfx hardware accelleration drivers that are better than what comes with ubuntu? | 17:27 |
| sharperguy | ^ relay that, it let me drag it somehow anyway | 17:27 |
| tom2600 | co tam slychac w starym miescie | 17:27 |
| tom2600 | que pasa troncos | 17:27 |
| Slart | Gourlis: but if you're not going to use hibernation you can use as much swap as you want.. one old rule says 2xRAM.. some people say 1xRAM these days..it kind of depends on how you use your computer | 17:27 |
| mdm | Gourlis: you can actually set no swap at all, and still *probably* run fine. That probably depends on how much you have and what it is you want to run on the box. But like I said its not like harddrive space is at a premium. | 17:27 |
| Gourlis | alright Slart, I'll leave it 1.29GB because I don't want to do anything bad again :P | 17:27 |
| karlmdavis | Could anyone point me in the right direction as to how I would debug random application hangs? I've not had to troubleshoot that type of problem before on Linux. | 17:28 |
| mcphail | karlmdavis: first thing to do is to run the app from the terminal | 17:28 |
| karlmdavis | Top and other things are hanging randomly on two systems I've got and I don't know where to start looking. | 17:28 |
| karlmdavis | These are servers, so no choice there mcphail. ;) | 17:29 |
| Gourlis | mdm, I see my partitions in GParted if you know.. If I delete swap from there, where it will go? I mean 1.29GB (on NTFS for Vista or on Ubuntu, or nowhere?) | 17:29 |
| mcphail | karlmdavis: :) if top is hanging then there is trouble afoot | 17:29 |
| mdm | Gourlis: is you delete it, it will not be used. Just save off some space and recreate it | 17:29 |
| Gourlis | mdm, alright! | 17:30 |
| karlmdavis | mcphail: I would agree. Just don't know how to go about tracking said trouble down. | 17:30 |

| Lint01 | AlexStacey: try pulldoen menus, there is the languahe option | 17:35 |
| mdm | AlexStacey: learn hebrew :).. No really just use the pulldown for locality | 17:35 |

| ryanprior | When I type "ssh me@mybox", I can log in just fine. When I go to Places -> Connect to Server and try to open a view in Nautilus, it fails saying "ssh program unexpectedly exited" -- how do I fix it? | 17:40 |
| cptblood | i added a remote share with sshfs exampe.com:/path /media/path | 17:40 |
| zanden | anyone could have an idea about setting up a telnet server in an e-learning based environment , where an instructor can allow the candidates choose their accounts and can change their password for the first time ? | 17:40 |

| mdm | zanden write a php script to a frontend to adduser, since you are using telnet I assume you dont care about security | 17:41 |
| n0gear | how do i remove timestamps in irssi | 17:42 |
| zanden | mdm , the problem i don't have any programming background to do that , if i could , i will directly write a shell script to perform that task | 17:42 |
| bullgard4 | What authorities request to run the 'ALSA Information Script' /home/<username>/bin/alsa-info.sh? | 17:44 |
| mdm | zanden you do understand writing any such thing is a very bad security idea and anyone can cause a lot of damage with little or no effort, right? | 17:44 |
| ryanprior | zanden: Why use telnet and not a system based on something more modern? (XMPP comes to mind) | 17:46 |
| sladen | wii MOPAK | 17:46 |
| LuciusMare | hello | 17:47 |
| zanden | ryanakca, i just want users to access command line , the machine i intend to perform that task in , is just for explaining some linux concepts | 17:47 |
| mdm | zanden for that matter tech them what ssh is, make then genreate keys and give you their public key. Then disallow plain text passwords. Not only would you be giving them access but also teaching them essntail knowledge of proper system administration | 17:47 |
| zanden | opss sorry i mean ryanprior | 17:47 |
| ryanprior | zanden: If you want a simple CLI environment, your students could use SSH. | 17:47 |

| zanden | ryanakca, i know ssh is better solution, but can i automate this process with it ? | 17:48 |
| demanufacture | hello | 17:48 |
| zanden | mdm, you are right sure , but i was asking about how could automate this process that's all | 17:48 |
| ryanprior | zanden: Anything you can automate with telnet, you can also automate with ssh. | 17:49 |
| mdm | yes zanden just as easily as you can with telnet. But if you let them just create whatever they want, its still insecure | 17:49 |
| demanufacture | is there way to user pocketPC device as wifi card? | 17:49 |
| demanufacture | use* | 17:49 |

| lunix | Hi people! I my problem is that i have a pretty tired digital camera. Colors are bad, but except for that, its a ok camera. Anyone knows about a tool in ubuntu or one of the programs where colors can be ajusted/corrected automaticly. There is a function for that i Vista i know.. If not, could this be a idea for a EOG upgrade? :) | 17:50 |
| ryanprior | zanden: there are lots of neat things you can do with the CLI. creating users and setting passwords isn't the most exciting thing to do, and it can cause trouble and headache, so I would suggest creating the users yourself and letting them do other things. | 17:50 |
| === shikibu_ is now known as shikibu | ||
| zanden | mdm , i know are completely right but the machine is just for teaching purposes not more | 17:50 |
| shashi | I am using ubuntu 9.04. I want Tomboy notes should start automatically whenever i boot my machine. How can i do this ? | 17:50 |
| ryanprior | lunix: You can use The GIMP to do color correction. I don't know if it does auto-correct, but if not there's probably a plugin for it. | 17:51 |
| nano404 | Anyone familiar with Super Grub Disk? I keep getting error 17. "Cannot mount selected partition" Thanks. | 17:51 |
| mdm | zanden: the heart of the problem is that to add users the program needs to run with root access. Having a program, especialy a shell that does that is asking for problems. If all you want to do is set it up temporaily at the very least image the box and reimage it every day or such | 17:51 |
| zanden | ryanprior, well if i could not do that , then the solution is to do that manually | 17:51 |
| ryanprior | shashi: System -> Preferences -> Sessions, add tomboy as a session | 17:51 |
| mdm | zanden but to create a shell is fairly easy, just have them put in a username and password, then pass that to adduser to create the account. | 17:51 |
| demanufacture | is there way to use pocketPC device as wifi card? | 17:51 |
| arand | shashi: add it to startup allpications under system-preferences menu | 17:52 |
| phoenixz | I need to know the *name* of a process that every now and then is changing a file.. How can I monitor that file to get that process name? | 17:52 |
| zanden | mdm, thanks , it seems that could be my only solution | 17:52 |
| AlexStacey | cheers guys - reinstalling will fix it i'm sure =] | 17:52 |
| mdm | zanden most certainly not, have the accounts created by hand, give them temp passwords and the first thing they do when they log in is change it to something more secure | 17:53 |
| papersoul | hello | 17:53 |
| lunix | ryanprior: Thanks:) I found the color correction posibilities there, but I found my self to be pretty bad ajusting it.. Usually photos turned out a lot worse than the originals :) Ill try to find a plugin for it then. Thanks for helping! | 17:53 |
| ryanprior | Hello papersoul. | 17:53 |
| papersoul | i was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue i have | 17:53 |
| mdm | zanden if you REALLY want to teach them have them create ssh key pairs and show then they can publish their public key to whomever they please and still be as secure as the private key is | 17:53 |
| ryanprior | lunix: You can ask in #gimp which plugin would be best. | 17:54 |
| arand | !ask | papersoul | 17:54 |
| ubottu | papersoul: 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. :-) | 17:54 |
| papersoul | i keep getting dropped connections | 17:54 |
| papersoul | i have a usb wifi card | 17:54 |
| zanden | mdm , it will be a good idea then to teach them the most secured way | 17:54 |
| papersoul | running 9.04 | 17:54 |
| mdm | zanden additionally you can show them how to forward ports in SSH and do things like run xterm or something | 17:54 |
| zanden | mdm, thanks alot for all these info , appreciated your help | 17:55 |
| mdm | np | 17:55 |
| papersoul | anyone? | 17:55 |
| ryanprior | papersoul: Has the behaviour changed recently? Does it work differently with a different distribution or operating system? Does the behaviour change if you physically move the computer from place to place? | 17:56 |
| papersoul | no, i have 4 bars | 17:56 |
| papersoul | but ever since i installed, it has never fully worked | 17:56 |
| ryanprior | How do you know that you are getting dropped connections? | 17:57 |
| papersoul | i've looked online and there has been some issues with it before | 17:57 |
| IHS_intern | is there anything for setting up Beowulf clusters in ubuntu? considering playing around with some of the dells that have bad primary IDE controllers | 17:57 |
| mdm | in fact zanden I would use it also as a way to show them that everything you do in a graphical enviroment can be done by command line. Put in pine. mutt or something, sow the lynx, wget etc. And teach them they dont HAVE to have X or a mouse to do anything | 17:57 |
| papersoul | it will connect to the router and sometimes let me surf maybe a page then drops | 17:57 |
| ryanprior | papersoul: When it drops, does it reconnect automatically? | 17:58 |
| papersoul | yes | 17:58 |
| solifugus | On the ubuntu livecd, how can a person get quickly to a console window? | 17:58 |
| Malicia | accessories -> console | 17:59 |
| solifugus | I need to explain to someone over the phone, and I use kubuntu, not ubuntu | 17:59 |
| ryanprior | papersoul: That sounds like generic lousy wifi to me. Back to the questions about different operating systems, computer locations, recent behaviour changes? | 17:59 |
| mdm | IHS_intern: they need to have boot proms in the NICs, but I assume you already knew this | 17:59 |
| JohnWittle | My eth0 gateway is broken. | 17:59 |
| JohnWittle | In the network manager, it appears greyed out | 17:59 |
| Malicia | solifugus, Kubuntu is the same thing as Ubuntu, only the desktop environment is KDE and not Gnome | 18:00 |
| IHS_intern | mdm: I can do live-CD, as well, and they do support network booting. | 18:00 |
| papersoul | hmmmmm it is only one room away from the router.... | 18:00 |
| solifugus | Malicia: the menus are different | 18:00 |
| papersoul | no recent behavior changes since it has always done this.... | 18:00 |
| lisa1 | hello | 18:00 |
| solifugus | Malicia: once in the console, can she just "sudo su -" and be root without a password? | 18:00 |
| mdm | IHS_intern: then you need to read up on PXE booting, setting up a tftp server and get them to boot. After that read up and set up the cluster | 18:00 |
| Malicia | solifugus, I guess so. But it's not a different OS | 18:00 |
| Malicia | solifugus, that's dangerous! | 18:01 |

| ANTRat | !root | 18:08 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | solifugus Instead of Sudo SU... Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. | 18:08 |

| solifugus | Malicia: not sure how much ram.. I am not there looking at them | 18:13 |
| whazilla | here since 2k bug | 18:13 |
| sebsebseb | RickX: Firefox 3.1 well 3.5 even has support for the <video> tag and <audo> tag and built in OGG support | 18:13 |
| Malicia | solifugus, u should | 18:13 |
| sebsebseb | RickX: Firefox 3.5 is not quite released yet, and Ubuntu does not have it in the repo of course, however you can install the latest development version directly from Mozilla | 18:13 |
| mdm | solifugus: if that computer contains patient information I would HIGHLY suggest you read up on HIPPA and follow the electronic destruction policy | 18:13 |
| Malicia | solifugus, old pc do not support Ubuntu quite often | 18:14 |
| whazilla | Jack_Sparrow: why would u go thru the hassle of upgrading three not four times ? | 18:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | solifugus have her run livecd and do the install it will format the drive and repartition for her | 18:14 |

| RickX | ... so how do I play ogg video in firefox 3.0.10 | 18:14 |
| whazilla | RickX: mplayer? | 18:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | whazilla I would NOT, fresh install with /home on sep is the only way to go | 18:14 |
| solifugus | mdm: it does... maybe I'll just give her a DoD wiper program.. but they are proprietary and I'd be an illegal copy. | 18:14 |

| solifugus | mdm: I got out of the healthcare industry just before HIPPA became mandatroy.. I vaguely remember taking a course on it.. but never got certified. | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | whazilla: why are you installing form such an old ISO? | 18:15 |

| slawek | hi i have troubles.. i can't change resolution | 18:40 |
| geirha | NimoTh: the =t means the backups will be numbered, so if you overwrite the same file twice, you'll have two backups, file.~1~ and file.~2~ | 18:41 |

| john22 | hi, I am using a command-line install of ubuntu 9.04 on a 2 GB flash drive, and I have utitlities on it that I use that I need readily portable, and it works great, however I would like a simple desktop aswell for editing with programs like gedit. When using apt-get to install ubuntu-desktop, the installed size is 1,900 MB and 'gdm' is only 189 MB | 18:53 |
| john22 | what is the difference | 18:53 |
| Slart | john22: ubuntu-desktop is all the packages in the regular ubuntu distro, default install | 18:53 |
| Slart | john22: you might want to install xfce or gnome | 18:54 |
| john22 | so jut installing gdm, will give me a desktop, and then I cant install gedit (for example) ? | 18:54 |
| Bilge | Is it possible to see what packages are installed by default? | 18:54 |

| nw-b | mdm, what about encrypting a laptop? | 19:08 |
| Bilge | That does look a lot like the things I installed although it includes a lot of dependancies that I don't recognise | 19:08 |

| LogicFan | is it always preferable to install software via ubuntu's package manager? even for things like firefox or thunderbird extensions? | 19:19 |
| eseven73 | nw-b, for simple encryption TrueCrypt should be enough | 19:19 |
| brandonban6 | G_A_C, I talked to you about Hamachi, I needed to enable IP Tunneling used a modprobe tun command and was home free from there. | 19:19 |

| Neconide | erUSUL: hold on | 19:19 |
| yrahan | fccf: I understand basic english :), but, on ubuntu-fr (frensh ) no one seems to see the solution | 19:19 |
| G_A_C | brandonban6, I thought one of the installation steps was "sudo tuncfg", that seemed to fix it for me | 19:19 |
| nw-b | eseven73, the thing is that I need really strong encryption software. I will be handling sensitive research information | 19:19 |
| G_A_C | brandonban6, good that you got it fixed though! :) | 19:19 |
| Slart | LogicFan: personally I install firefox using the repos.. but plugins using firefox's own system | 19:19 |
| Slart | LogicFan: same thing with thunderbird | 19:19 |
| LogicFan | nw-b, truecrypt is the choice for you | 19:19 |
| rhett | koop34 yes, my 2100 series does not like the newest AMD drivers | 19:19 |
| Neconide | erUSUL: sudo: update-db: command not found | 19:19 |
| Neconide | :S | 19:19 |
| erUSUL | Neconide: wont work very well the -bash name complicates things a lot | 19:20 |
| brandonban6 | G_A_C, that is step, who knows, I'm not very network saavy, I followed forum after forum, who knows what I messed up in the meantime :) | 19:20 |
| fccf | yrahan: you may want to try over in #alsa ... also look at the alsa compatibility chart - google-alsa compatibility to see if your hardware is supported | 19:20 |

| gh0st | can anyone point me to a link or a channel that would discuss how to "set up" my current voip provider with ekiga? | 19:20 |
| Slart | nw-b: truecrypt.. but either you'll have to ask your boss what software is acceptable.. or if you are the boss you should go read up on these thnigs and not listen to advice from weird people you ran into on IRC | 19:20 |
| koop34 | rhett my does your system freeze or when playing video or going to display options | 19:20 |

| nszeek | erUSUL: Any way I can find which /dev/ path a usb device is connected to then ? | 19:21 |
| nw-b | Slart, thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it. | 19:21 |
| Slart | LogicFan: ahh.. that one I installed using the repos.. sorry..., forgot about that one | 19:21 |

| fccf | gh0st: depending on your provider, ekiga uses the sip or h.263 or x.263 protocalls and each has a slightly different setup... what is your provider | 19:22 |
| Bram_P | can someone tell me the command to unpack and install .tar.gz archives? I forgot it for the moment.... | 19:22 |
| LogicFan | Slart, do you know why that specific extension deserves its own package by the ubuntu mozilla team? why can't you just install via thunderbird's add-on interface and download the .xpi like any firefox extension? | 19:23 |
| yrahan | fccf: french | 19:23 |
| erUSUL | nszeek: look "dmesg" when you plug the device | 19:23 |
| fccf | yrahan: I got that | 19:23 |
| Slart | LogicFan: I'm not sure.. could be that it uses pgp or some other software from the os | 19:23 |
| LogicFan | yeah, uses gnupg | 19:24 |
| nszeek | erUSUL: and from the dmesg output I can get a /dev/ path ? | 19:24 |
| erUSUL | nszeek: on most cases yes | 19:24 |
| nszeek | erUSUL: just a sec | 19:24 |

| mdm | Soopa no, its just exists in the browser. The windows box will see the access though | 19:27 |

| gh0st | lol, thanks | 19:28 |
| Soopa | mdm: okay, then how can I mount a Windows share? | 19:28 |
| Slart | overshard: hmm.. not really.. I looked around the preferences, managers, applets etc that I have.. can't really find anything.. | 19:28 |
| koop34 | I want to fresh install the graphics drivers on my system does anyone know how to uninstall the drivers | 19:28 |
| Soopa | mdm: like, if I want it to show up on my desktop every time i log in | 19:28 |
| mdm | Soopa: mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass \\server\share /mount/point | 19:29 |
| overshard | Slart: yeah... I set pulseaudio as my default in gnome-sound-properties and then my dac the default in pavucontrol and that seems like it should work but it isn't | 19:29 |
| erUSUL | Neconide: maybe calmav can remove it ? | 19:29 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Soopa: Yes, it does, check in /home/<user>/.gvfs | 19:29 |
| Slart | overshard: oh.. wait.. go to the "output devices" tab.. select the one you want to be default.. click the little button with the down arrow and check "Default".. | 19:29 |
| Neconide | erUSUL: calmav? | 19:29 |
| erUSUL | !info clamav | 19:29 |

| sup3rs3nior | Ok, you know how you get permissions when you type "ls -l"? when I did that for a dir i just created, it printed "?????????" for the permisions......... | 19:37 |
| erUSUL | mdm: i know... helping someone wha has | 19:38 |
| erUSUL | mdm: i know... helping someone who has | 19:38 |
| ikonia | erUSUL: if someone has been exploited a full re-install is the only real option | 19:38 |
| Neconide | erUSUL: One of my friends who is a whitehat security researcher is helping me at the moment | 19:38 |
| Icemask | ...Anyone? | 19:38 |
| ikonia | Icemask: anyone what ? | 19:38 |
| LuciusMare | can i WakeOnLan computer that has not public ip? | 19:38 |
| scunizi | erUSUL: Neconide ok.. I'll look at the code but that's not really my thing.. The more eyes on it the better for figuring out where it is. | 19:38 |
| Icemask | I need help with installing Ubuntu itself | 19:38 |
| ikonia | LuciusMare: if you are on the same private network - sure | 19:38 |
| G_A_C | LuciusMare, only from a computer on the same LAN (I believe) | 19:39 |
| mdm | erUSUL: from what you pasted its creatigng a file -bash, delete that, but I would also check for other intrusion as well | 19:39 |
| KDesk | I want to test PulseAudio 0.9.15 in Jaunty. But I have read that Flash or Skype brakes. Has any one tested this? | 19:39 |
| Icemask | I keep getting Errno 13: Permission denied | 19:39 |
| w0ls0n | christ | 19:39 |
| LuciusMare | how thenM | 19:39 |
| LuciusMare | *how then? | 19:39 |
| ikonia | Icemask: doing what ? | 19:39 |
| Icemask | Installing Ubuntu | 19:39 |
| Neconide | scunizi: yeah | 19:39 |
| ikonia | Icemask: at what point do you get error 13 ? | 19:39 |
| Icemask | From Windows | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | ikonia: well looking at the code it does not seem very clever seems like it only hides inteself as "-bash" binary | 19:39 |
| G_A_C | LuciusMare, it's not related to IPs, as when "off" your computer has none; you need to be able to get a broadcast packet to the target computer, which basically means being on the same broadcast domain (behind the same router) | 19:39 |
| sup3rs3nior | What would cause linux to show "?????????" for permissions on a file? | 19:39 |
| Icemask | I double click Wubi.exe | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | ikonia: finding it and removing maybe enough | 19:39 |
| Icemask | It thinks for a bit | 19:39 |
| Icemask | then it gives me the error | 19:39 |
| w0ls0n | I have VMWare installed on my box and whenever it does an update to the system, it corrupts files in rm /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/ ... how can I avoid this problem in the future? | 19:39 |
| ikonia | erUSUL: "seem" very clever is the key, anyone exploted = full re-install | 19:39 |
| ikonia | Icemask: sorry I can't support wubi | 19:40 |
| Pici | Icemask: You may not be an Administrator on your computer. | 19:40 |
| Starcraftmazter | Does anyone know if ssh supports unicode? | 19:40 |
| Pici | Starcraftmazter: yes | 19:40 |
| G_A_C | Icemask, are you running Vista? Maybe it's an admin rights problem | 19:40 |
| Icemask | I am though | 19:40 |
| === L is now known as Guest27252 | ||
| Icemask | Vista | 19:40 |
| erUSUL | ikonia: not may problem anyway and Neconide has left already | 19:40 |
| mohan_ | hi.. | 19:40 |
| G_A_C | Icemask, try right clicking wubi and selecting "run as admin" | 19:40 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, is it showing up in fstab? sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 19:40 |
| scunizi | Neconide: when did you compile and install? Today? | 19:40 |
| Icemask | I am admin, cuz I'm the only user of this computer | 19:40 |
| mohan_ | does anybody know RT kernel repository | 19:40 |
| mdm | erUSUL: rm -- -bash | 19:40 |
| Icemask | Oh | 19:40 |
| Icemask | Okay | 19:40 |
| Flannel | mohan_: -rt is in the regular repositories | 19:40 |
| fccf | Starcraftmazter: ssh is encrypted ... unicode isn't | 19:40 |
| G_A_C | Icemask, being admin doesn't automatically make you run things as admin out of the box on Vista, read up on UAC | 19:40 |
| Emjay | Hey to all that tried to help me Thankyou so very much | 19:41 |
| mohan_ | Flannel no i meant Realtime Kernel | 19:41 |
| Icemask | Oh | 19:41 |
| Neconide | scunizi: I didnt compile it, he sent me the compiled file | 19:41 |
| Emjay | I figured out my prob and its rather retarded | 19:41 |
| Icemask | Sorry | 19:41 |
| ubuntu_ | coz: nah fstab is almost bare, because i am running a live cd~ | 19:41 |
| erUSUL | mdm: i did not run that code Neconide was the one with the problem | 19:41 |
| LuciusMare | wait,is PXE boot from lan same as wakeonlan? | 19:41 |
| Emjay | Indexing was off | 19:41 |
| G_A_C | LuciusMare, no | 19:41 |
| Flannel | mohan_: right. linux-rt is the package for the realtime kernel, it's in the regular repositories. | 19:41 |
| erUSUL | LuciusMare: nope | 19:41 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, it is usually /media/floppy0 | 19:41 |
| LuciusMare | aw | 19:41 |
| mdm | erUSUL: then have him do it | 19:41 |
| scunizi | Neconide: when did you install it? today? | 19:41 |
| legend2440 | !paste > me | 19:41 |
| ubottu | legend2440, please see my private message | 19:41 |
| mohan_ | Flannel: not the buggy one which is included in Ubuntustudio.. I wan't another one for my 64bit.. | 19:42 |
| fccf | LuciusMare: PXE allows booting the entire operating system over a network with no harddrive installed on the PXE'd computer | 19:42 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: no, they are two different, complimentary services | 19:42 |
| erUSUL | mdm: he left the channel. and was what i was doing when everybody jumped in ;P | 19:42 |
| LuciusMare | oh | 19:42 |
| Starcraftmazter | Pici: Is there any reason why unicode characters would be coming up as questionmarks over ssh, or does that imply that the remote machine does not support unicode? | 19:42 |
| mohan_ | Flannel: that kernel freezes my computer.. has some issues regarding ACPI | 19:42 |
| w0ls0n | I have VMWare installed on my box and whenever it does an update to the system, it corrupts files in rm /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc/ ... how can I avoid this problem in the future? | 19:42 |
| nick2paris | /msg NickServ identify 1286432 | 19:42 |
| LuciusMare | wait | 19:42 |
| LuciusMare | so | 19:42 |
| Flannel | nick2paris: You'll want to change that password | 19:42 |
| zortec | I'm using irssi to talk to you guys. I have no desktop but Ubuntu is installed. | 19:42 |
| LuciusMare | is there any way that i could boot over lan sending an .iso to it? | 19:42 |
| Pici | Starcraftmazter: It could be that the terminal you are using doesn't support unicode properly, or the font you have does not have those characters. | 19:43 |
| fccf | w0ls0n: lock changes on VMWare.. get it working and lock it | 19:43 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: WOL is a spacial packet that cases a computer to resume from suspend, it is dependant on WOL hardware. PXE is a boot loader to load in a kernel for boot from net, it requires a boot bios chip on the nic | 19:43 |
| Flannel | Starcraftmazter: Are you using screen? Also, make sure your current terminal has unicode glyphs and is in unicode mode | 19:43 |
| G_A_C | LuciusMare, I'm not sure...it may be doable with PXELinux and the "memdisk" facility | 19:43 |
| scunizi | Neconide: ?? the reason I ask when you installed it is you can search the system for "new" files as of "today" .. that might give you the answer you're looking for. | 19:43 |
| w0ls0n | lock it how? | 19:43 |
| w0ls0n | oh | 19:43 |
| Icemask | It's still giving me Permission Denied | 19:43 |
| Starcraftmazter | FloodBot3: picca: The characters in question appear in a java application I have written, they show up fine locally | 19:44 |
| mohan_ | Flannel: any idea ? | 19:44 |
| scunizi | Neconide: also was it compiled as a .deb file? | 19:44 |
| G_A_C | I'm out of ideas then Icemask, I haven't any experience with Wubi unfortunately | 19:44 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: seting up PXE requires a DHCP and TFTP server, it also requires you setup the client to boot from net | 19:44 |
| nszeek | erUSUL: Thanks ... it worked | 19:44 |
| LuciusMare | god | 19:44 |
| LuciusMare | hm | 19:44 |
| LuciusMare | so | 19:44 |
| Icemask | And If I boot from the disc, directly, It freezes and crashes and the Caps Lock light starts blinking | 19:44 |
| zortec | The way I partitioned the drive was 10GB - /home, 3GB - swap, and 30GB - / | 19:44 |
| erUSUL | nszeek: no problem | 19:44 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: sorry technically a BOOTP server, not DHCP | 19:44 |
| Flannel | mohan_: No, I know of no third party repositories with another realtime kernel. That doesn't mean they don't exist though. | 19:44 |
| mohan_ | Flannel: oh.. ok.. | 19:45 |
| zortec | !mdm I took your suggestion on the swap. | 19:45 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:45 |
| zortec | #mdm I took your suggestion on the swap. | 19:45 |
| mohan_ | Flannel: the version 2.6.28-3-rt is troublesome.. | 19:45 |
| Icemask | It's still giving me Permission Denied | 19:45 |
| Icemask | Can anyone help? | 19:45 |
| sup3rs3nior | How do I make this-->http://68.47.64.161/jr/<-- not forbidden? | 19:45 |
| G_A_C | @mdm, I think DHCP is correct, BOOTP was something different not involving TFTP...been a while since I looked at it though | 19:45 |
| plontaj | connect irc.freenode.net | 19:46 |
| fccf | zortec: the correct way to put the name is how I just did with you ... type the first few letters of the name then push TAB | 19:46 |
| hackndoes | Hi guys and gals, i have a weird problem. i installed ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop and had no wifi, after reading i succeeded in making it work (loaded some modules and installed wicd) | 19:46 |
| coz_ | Icemask, if no one here can help you might want to try #linux channel | 19:46 |
| sbasuita | Icemask, the kernel blinks the caps lock key as a sign that it has crashed (kernel panic) | 19:46 |
| zortec | fccf: Thanks, I got it now :) | 19:46 |
| sup3rs3nior | oh hey nackndoes.. you need ndiswrapper.. | 19:46 |
| Icemask | Okay | 19:46 |
| zortec | For an irc app, irssi is nice | 19:46 |
| sup3rs3nior | her | 19:46 |
| sup3rs3nior | er | 19:46 |
| KDesk | Has anyone experience with PulseAudio 0.9.15? | 19:46 |
| sup3rs3nior | hackndoes: you need ndiswrapper.. | 19:47 |
| mdm | G_A_C: I *think* its just the dhcp server serving bootp requests, but either way it requires setup. | 19:47 |
| hackndoes | the problem is, that if i disconnect from a created connection i can't reconnect. wicd is stuck on trying to obtain an ip address. only restarting the machine allows me to reconnect | 19:47 |
| zortec | Any thoughts on how I split up the drive? 10gb/home, 3gb/swap, and 30gb/root | 19:47 |
| Gabrys | 30gb/home 10gb/root | 19:47 |
| zortec | I decided to make a partition for /home | 19:47 |
| david__ | hola | 19:47 |
| erUSUL | zortec: swap home and root | 19:47 |
| LuciusMare | I have got a very old notebook (travelmate 242xc) with installed windows screwed up.I wanted to reinstall but i want linux on it,and i like sudo apt-get and so,features from ubuntu.So i decided to install ubuntu on it,with some windows manager on it.It looks like i am going to install fluxbox here,and because i dont like the right click menu,i would like some icon manager.And there are my questions: | 19:47 |
| LuciusMare | 1) What Window manager and icon manager to use? | 19:47 |
| LuciusMare | 2)How can i install without gnome or so,only with things i want? | 19:47 |
| hackndoes | sup3rs3nior, saw that a few times on the net while investigating my problem. but why is that? i succeeded making it work without | 19:47 |
| david__ | hola | 19:48 |
| sup3rs3nior | hackndoes: well if you got it to work then you are ahead of me! | 19:48 |
| zortec | erUSUL: What about swap home and root? | 19:48 |
| Gabrys | LuciusMare: I would install icewm if it's still in the repository | 19:48 |
| erUSUL | zortec: i mean swap the sizes of home and root 10GiB for root 30 GiB for home | 19:48 |
| hackndoes | sup3rs3nior, hee, but still i have the problem i mentioned. need any help? | 19:48 |
| zortec | erUSUL: Why so much space for a /home dir? | 19:49 |
| LuciusMare | Gabrys: and so,how? | 19:49 |
| sup3rs3nior | hackndoes: so it hangs while you try to connect? | 19:49 |
| zortec | erUSUL: You keep most of the files in root I thought | 19:49 |
| scunizi | zortec: that's where all your personal data goes | 19:49 |
| erUSUL | zortec: it is where the big files are ging to end up Music movies stuff like that | 19:49 |
| hackndoes | yes, but only if i disconnected from the network or moved to another network .etc | 19:49 |
| Neconide | scunizi: It's a C file | 19:49 |
| Gabrys | LuciusMare: aptitude install icewm | 19:49 |
| hackndoes | sup3rs3nior, yes, but only if i disconnected from the network or moved to another network .etc | 19:49 |
| zortec | scunizi, erUSUL: So you don't want those in root at all? | 19:50 |
| sup3rs3nior | but your router recognizes the wireless card on your laptop? | 19:50 |
| mimor | hello all | 19:50 |
| LuciusMare | Gabrys: but how can i install it? | 19:50 |
| LuciusMare | i mean,i have to install the whole system | 19:50 |
| erUSUL | zortec: my root (and keep in mind i have latex and other software installed) /dev/sda3 15G 4,4G 9,5G 32% / | 19:50 |
| mimor | I'm looking for an app on ubuntu or online to manage my books | 19:50 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: fluxbox is a very minimal (read not allot of features, and small footprint) window manager. I love it myself mostly because its setup and menu files can be edited with vi. But that is mostly my opinion. | 19:50 |
| fccf | hackndoes: have you disabled wireless then re-enabled it - | 19:50 |
| hackndoes | fccf, nope | 19:50 |
| Gabrys | LuciusMare: get normal ubuntu or ubuntu lite if you don't have big diskspace and on top of it install icewm | 19:50 |
| zortec | erUSUL: How can I resize them now? The only app I installed was irssi | 19:50 |
| LuciusMare | I can not install normal ubuntu on it! | 19:50 |
| LuciusMare | it is too weak! | 19:51 |
| fccf | hackndoes: that could be your fix | 19:51 |
| hackndoes | how do i go about doing that? though it doesn't seem like much of a permanent solution | 19:51 |
| scunizi | Neconide: k.. it should have an install time/date stamp. If you remember what day it was installed you could search the system for all files created on that day. That should narrow it down and allow you to locate it. | 19:51 |
| LuciusMare | so how can i install it? | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | zortec: depends on the layout of the paritions on the disk | 19:51 |
| hackndoes | sup3rs3nior, what do you mean? | 19:51 |
| hackndoes | sup3rs3nior, it does i guess cause after a restart there is no problem | 19:51 |
| zortec | erUSUL: I'm not familiar with linux commands too well, how can I see my partitions? Keep in mind I don't have a desktop yet | 19:51 |
| Neconide | scunizi: Theyre hidden files | 19:51 |
| flintwingel | LuciusMare: have a look at CrunchBang Linux - based on ubuntu but lightweight, uses the OPenBox window manager | 19:51 |
| zortec | ls | 19:51 |
| fccf | hackndoes: it is right click on the network Icon in gnome\ | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | zortec: sudo fdisk -l | 19:51 |
| mdm | zortec: fdisk -l | 19:51 |
| Neconide | scunizi: my friend decompiled it, and it installs itself in /bin /usr/bin /sbin etc | 19:52 |
| LuciusMare | I just want to know,how to install ubuntu only with things i want | 19:52 |
| LuciusMare | without gnome,with fluxbox | 19:52 |
| hackndoes | fccf, i am not using network-manager but wicd as explained, how is it done there? | 19:52 |
| darkpixel | hi there, im looking for a php-based webmail but i need the users to logging in without a email account, i need to have users, like user1, pass user1, and once logged in they would access to a preconfigured email account. Is there something like this out there? | 19:52 |
| zortec | Can I open another window and stay in irssi or quit? | 19:52 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: install the server edition, then chose which pacakges you want after with apt-get | 19:52 |
| unop | LuciusMare, use the minimal install CD to install the base .. then install fluxbox, xorg, etc | 19:52 |
| LuciusMare | hm | 19:52 |
| scunizi | Neconide: with a name of -bash ?? or <something-bash> ? | 19:53 |
| fccf | hackndoes: can't help with wicd | 19:53 |
| LuciusMare | unop: minimal cd? | 19:53 |
| hackndoes | sup3rs3nior, i don't know what you mean in your question can you explain your self please?' | 19:53 |
| LuciusMare | mdm: will try | 19:53 |
| zortec | I figured it out, just switched to tty2 | 19:53 |
| unop | !minimal | LuciusMare | 19:53 |
| ubottu | LuciusMare: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:53 |
| LuciusMare | !alternate CD > LuciusMare | 19:53 |
| hackndoes | fccf, the reason i am using wicd is that nm didn't even see the networks around me, or at list didn't list them not to mention connect to them | 19:53 |
| unop | LuciusMare, /query ubottu | 19:53 |
| Neconide | scunizi: 'testing' | 19:54 |
| Flannel | LuciusMare: No need to use the minimal CD, grab the alternate CD. Then you won't absolutely have to have the internet to install. | 19:54 |
| hackndoes | fccf, i could not care less which one i use. is nm recommended by you? | 19:54 |
| Neconide | rm: cannot remove `/bin/testing': No such file or directory | 19:54 |
| Neconide | so yeah | 19:54 |
| Neconide | theyre hidden | 19:54 |
| fccf | hackndoes: need more info ... please pastebin your lspci output | 19:54 |
| hackndoes | fccf, sec | 19:55 |
| Flannel | Neconide: what does 'which testing' give you? | 19:55 |
| Neconide | Flannel: Nothing | 19:55 |
| erUSUL | Neconide: also seems to edit /etc/rc.local to launch itself on boot. check the file contents | 19:55 |
| thelaugh1ngmime | my wrok blocks most of the ports so its hard to ssh . i was using 443 for a while and not it seems to have blocked it. any ideas on what port i can try? looks like the man is cracking down on me | 19:56 |
| scunizi | Neconide: ok.. if they are hidden then you can gksudo nautilus .. once the window is open ctrl+h to reveal hidden directories/files (they have a . or period in front of the name).. go to the directories you mentioned and look again. | 19:56 |
| hackndoes | fccf, http://pastebin.com/m23d940f3 | 19:56 |
| dondon | my xorg.conf file is basically empty, but i would like to see what settings ubuntu has set by default | 19:56 |
| dondon | how can i do that? | 19:56 |
| hackndoes | fccf, ooops not the correct one | 19:56 |
| hackndoes | sec | 19:56 |
| scunizi | Neconide: caution though.. gksudo nautilus give nautilus root privilidges and can delete ANYTHING on your system.. take care | 19:56 |
| zortec | /dev/sda1 - NTFS (102GB) - /dev/sda2 - Linux (29GB) - /dev/sda3 - Linux swap (2.9/3GB) - /dev/sda4 - Linux (9GB) | 19:56 |
| zortec | That is the disk layout in fdisk | 19:57 |
| zortec | I hope that I'm reading that correctly | 19:57 |
| Neconide | scunizi: Ok | 19:57 |
| hackndoes | fccf, daniella is also me, i am helping her | 19:57 |

| zortec | erUSUL: I tried to use GParted but it won't load because of my graphics again | 20:02 |
| hackndoes | fccf, dl the correct drivers? | 20:02 |
| mdm | zortec: boot the system from CD, and use it to resize the partitions. I would suggest you back them up first thogh | 20:02 |
| hackndoes | dl? | 20:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info parted | 20:02 |

| zortec | erUSUL, Jack_Sparrow What else could I use to resize the linux partitions? | 20:03 |
| hwilde | Hello. Has the theme Xfce-dusk been obsoleted in 9.04 ? If not, where can I find it? | 20:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | look up | 20:03 |
| hackndoes | fccf, dl as in download? | 20:03 |
| fccf | hackndoes: dl=download | 20:03 |
| scunizi | Neconide: try to .. sudo updatedb .. then... ls -la .testing | 20:03 |
| hackndoes | K | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | zortec: do it from a cli livecd ? | 20:03 |
| zortec | mdm: I can't get the live cd to boot so I need other alternatives... | 20:03 |
| zortec | erUSUL: You mean go back through the installer on the minimal cd? | 20:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zortec Yep, I remembered that from earlier | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | zortec: no there are livecd that boot into cli | 20:04 |
| zortec | erUSUL, Jack_Sparrow I just finished that | 20:04 |
| mdm | zortec: boot from net? boot from floppy? put the drive in another system? | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | zortec: systemrescuecd iirc | 20:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zortec try sudo apt-get install parted | 20:04 |
| scunizi | Neconide: actually should be ... ls -a .testing .. I think | 20:05 |
| zortec | erUSUL: There is the live cd that I used to install ubuntu just now, it was cli | 20:05 |
| Neconide | scunizi: ls: cannot access .testing: No such file or directory | 20:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zortec nm.. not from running system. | 20:05 |
| scunizi | Neconide: oops actually should be ... ls -aR /.testing .. I think | 20:05 |
| zortec | erUSUL: You're saying to go back through the install again | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | zortec: use parted from it then | 20:05 |
| Neconide | scunizi: but i didnt remove it from all the dirs | 20:05 |
| scunizi | Neconide: ls just gives a listing of the file your searching for. | 20:05 |
| hackndoes | fccf, sorry but the it's very light in explanation. i can't understand what am i supposed to do from that | 20:05 |
| zortec | Jack_Sparrow You can resize mounted partitions while in linux? | 20:05 |
| hackndoes | can you please help me a bit further? | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | zortec: maybe it is easier to reinstall the system if you do not have important data to save | 20:06 |
| Neconide | ls: cannot access .testing: No such file or directory | 20:06 |
| Neconide | thats it | 20:06 |
| hwilde | Hello. Has the theme Xfce-dusk been obsoleted in 9.04 ? If not, where can I find it? | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | zortec: but a cli instaler is not the same as a live system | 20:06 |
| zortec | erUSUL, mdm: I wouldn't need to back anything up as I never installed anything on the system except for irssi | 20:06 |
| scunizi | Neconide: ok. ls -laR /testing | 20:06 |
| mdm | zortec: if you dont care about the data then wipe it out and reinstall | 20:06 |
| zortec | erUSUL: If I reinstall the system, will it let me resize those partitions that I have already used if that makes any sense? | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | zortec: wipe the partitions and create them from scratch | 20:07 |
| zortec | erUSUL: I didn't know that my /home should be larger than the root, didn't see anything about that in the forums or anyone who mentioned it | 20:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zortec just as easy to nuke them and start over | 20:07 |
| Senaris | !man dd | 20:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about man dd | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | zortec: or just change th mount points | 20:07 |
| mdm | yes zortec you can delete the old ones and make a new layout, whatever you have space for | 20:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zortec mine is 3 to 1 root /home | 20:07 |
| mohan_ | nobody here knows where can i get stable RT kernel? | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | zortec: you do not need to resize or recreate them just install root on the 10 GiB partition and home in the other one | 20:07 |
| zortec | erUSUL: So I just need to change them in the installer right? | 20:08 |
| erUSUL | zortec: yep | 20:08 |
| zortec | erUSUL: Will it try to write GRUB twice then? | 20:08 |
| fccf | hackndoes: It has been so long since I have worked with BCM hardware... all I know is I had to do alot of reading on the wiki & the forums to get it to work | 20:08 |
| erUSUL | mohan_: your question implies that you find the abiable in the repos not stable enough ?? | 20:08 |
| zortec | erUSUL: I've already written GRUB to the MBR | 20:08 |
| erUSUL | zortec: it will just rewritte it no harm on that | 20:09 |
| scunizi | Neconide: I've gotta run.. good luck.. perhaps erUSUL can continue to help on this.. if it keeps reinstalling itself after deletion then there might be a cron job running all the time to check it. You'll need to delete that too. | 20:09 |
| zortec | erUSUL: Just to make sure I have this right, go 3GB/swap, 10GB/root, 30GB/home | 20:09 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: yes.. RT kernel freezes my computer.. | 20:09 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: i want another version.. | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | fccf: just install b43-fwcutter while conected to internet by other means (wire) | 20:10 |
| Neconide | scunizi: thanks for your help. | 20:10 |
| W8TAH | can ubuntu (and ubuntu server) boot from an LVM partition ? | 20:10 |

| mohan_ | erUSUL: this problem is faced to almost everyone who used ubuntu studio 9.04 | 20:11 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: i think bug has been reported there. | 20:11 |
| zortec | I had another question before I forget, can I run sudo without having it prompt me for a password every time? | 20:11 |
| cowgarden | whats a good screencapture program? (need to adjust the FPS) | 20:12 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: can u guide me through another rt kernel apart from 2.6.28-3.12 ? | 20:12 |
| zortec | It even prompts for the same app multiple times | 20:12 |
| mdm | zortec: sudo is to help you , not hinder you. There is an authentication time, but leave it as it is | 20:12 |
| NorthByNorthWest | erUSUL: that repo wasnt in my sources.list! (running ebox distro), but i added it and now FLAC was installed! Thanks! :) | 20:12 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: 2.6.28-3.12 (RT) is problematic regarding handling ACPI.. | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | mohan_: nope... maybe you can use ne from previous ubuntu versions... but dunno if it is going to work well | 20:12 |
| hackndoes | fccf, what note? can you guide me to the wikis and knotes? | 20:12 |
| hackndoes | those you read? | 20:12 |
| zortec | mdm: I know it's there for security measures, but having to enter the same password to get in the app you were already in seems kind of counterintuitive | 20:13 |
| erUSUL | NorthByNorthWest: main was not added ? maybe in servers only security-updates is... ? | 20:13 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: hmm.. Do older version RT linux kernel works? | 20:13 |
| mdm | ok zortec I did warn you, go edit /etc/sudoers, in it put the user or group you want and have it =NOPASSWORD | 20:13 |
| fccf | hackndoes: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 20:13 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: shall i install and try? | 20:13 |
| mdm | sory =NOPASSWD | 20:13 |
| NorthByNorthWest | erUSUL: i dont know... ebox has many strenghts... but also some weaknesses that kan make you loose you hair prematurely! | 20:14 |
| mdm | zortec assuming you did not change it already there is an example already in the file | 20:14 |
| erUSUL | mohan_: it is up to you really... either that or compile your own | 20:14 |
| zortec | mdm: I don't want to leave sudo without a passwd, more along the lines of if you are going in the same app, can you have it not prompt for one? | 20:14 |
| mohan_ | erUSUL: any link to the guide regarding rt kernel pls .. ? | 20:14 |
| mdm | zortec: sudo bash? | 20:14 |
| zortec | mdm: What is sudo bash? | 20:14 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | mdm zortec | 20:14 |
| ubottu | mdm zortec: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 20:14 |
| brodo | hi | 20:15 |
| brodo | hi | 20:15 |
| hackndoes | fccf, thanks, but could it be that removing the automatically installed network-manager and reinstalling it did the trick? i think it installed with some extra packages | 20:15 |
| mdm | sudo bash says run bash (a shell) as root | 20:15 |
| hackndoes | it suddenly works :) | 20:15 |
| fccf | hackndoes: cool, that was painless | 20:15 |
| mdm | sudo -i is basicly the same thing but it simulates and initial login | 20:15 |
| zortec | mdm: So that is good when you want to use apt-get or aptitude? | 20:16 |
| mdm | both are rather insecure to run, as erUSUL pointed out | 20:16 |
| fccf | brodo: If you have a question please ask it ... this is a support channel ... not for idle chat | 20:16 |
| zortec | mdm: I just was using sudo apt-get without the -i flag | 20:16 |
| hackndoes | fccf, you said it.... | 20:16 |
| brodo | is the package python-xpcom broken on 9.04? i tried to install it and it dosen't work. (apt-get tells me the package is broken) | 20:16 |
| hackndoes | simply uninstall and reinstall, i guess amongst the extra packages were some needed ones. say how do i checked my latest installed packages? | 20:17 |
| brodo | can someone test that out on his machine plz | 20:17 |
| ibou__ | sssalut | 20:17 |
| zortec | Do I need to delete the partitions before I resize them in the installer? | 20:18 |

| jakupl | brodo: I am installing it... seems to be working fine... but I am on 8.04 | 20:18 |

| brodo | jakupl: thx... which python version are you using? | 20:19 |

| fous_ | whats the difference between ex2, ex3, ex4? | 20:38 |
| mdm | korjata: use sudo and your favorite editor, also I doubt the UUID is the same if you took a windows NTFS partiton and repartitioned it as ext3 | 20:38 |
| jakupl | hey... quick question... I have added sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in a cron script... will that to a distrobution upgrade when the next LTS release is out? | 20:38 |
| boss_mc | fous_: different versions, biggest change for you is that they get faster with each version | 20:38 |
| fccf | fous_: ext3 is currently the most stable | 20:38 |
| korjata | mdm: Yes I did have it as ntfs. | 20:39 |
| mdm | ext2 is the old original, ext3 added journaling, ext4 added 64bit support and faster journaling | 20:39 |
| ganesh_ | i am using 8.10 and upgrade icon is not appearing after i tried to upgrade and aborted due to interruption in internet connection..how do i resume ? | 20:39 |

| mdm | picketfences: it sounds like your confused on what the OS it, what booting is and X. grub or lilo loads a kernel. that in turn runs run controll and starts services, one of which can be X, that in turn shows you a login screen. what programs you run, are set in run controll and are controlled by run level | 20:54 |
| boss_mc | mdm, unless he has two complete OS's installed on one machine... | 20:54 |

| anonymtrk | can anyone help me about lost partitions? | 21:13 |
| racecar56 | anonymtrk, testdisk can help maybe | 21:13 |
| mdm | hwilde: really I would just connect computer a directly, but setup ipchains on computer B and make it a firewall for computer A | 21:13 |
| racecar56 | anonymtrk, i have lost partitions myself :P | 21:13 |
| Fzang | mari_, sudo gnome-display-properties | 21:13 |
| mari_ | thanks fzang | 21:13 |
| mdm | hwilde: is there some reason you dont simply use a hub or switch and share the ethernet connection? | 21:13 |
| hwilde | mdm, "security" | 21:14 |
| hwilde | mdm, if it were that easy I wouldn't be here asking u know | 21:14 |
| anonymtrk | racecar56, i can not see them under Ubuntu installation disk, it sees the complete disk, not my partitions. can UBCD help it? | 21:14 |
| guntbert | hwilde: what OS runs on B? | 21:14 |
| LuciusMare | when i install putty,is pscp already included? | 21:14 |
| hwilde | guntbert, all are ubuntu | 21:14 |
| mdm | then making computer A a firewall is what you want | 21:14 |
| racecar56 | anonymtrk, maybe | 21:14 |
| hwilde | mdm, you mean proxy ? | 21:14 |
| LuciusMare | when i sudo apt-get install putty,is pscp already included? | 21:14 |
| anonymtrk | all my backups are there | 21:14 |
| anonymtrk | :( | 21:15 |
| anonymtrk | :) | 21:15 |
| mdm | hwilde: you could, or put in ipchains and make a masquerading firewall | 21:15 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare, pscp is provided by putty-tools | 21:15 |
| mari_ | Fzang: sudo: gnome-display-properties: command not found | 21:15 |
| guntbert | hwilde: so you want to share the internet connection from Computer A via wifi with B? | 21:15 |
| racecar56 | anonymtrk, systemrescuecd helped me | 21:15 |
| racecar56 | anonymtrk, but it didnt fix my partitions... | 21:15 |
| mdm | then whatever eth0 is on computer A becomes the default gw for computer B | 21:15 |
| LuciusMare | hwilde: i just want to secure copy things from one computer to another | 21:15 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare, scp | 21:15 |
| LuciusMare | actually from linux to windows | 21:15 |
| racecar56 | anonymtrk, i was setting up this old comp im using to chat with u now | 21:15 |
| anonymtrk | then all my backups will go, right? racarter | 21:15 |
| anonymtrk | racecar56, | 21:15 |
| Fzang | mari_, are you sure? no typos? it works for me | 21:16 |
| racecar56 | anonymtrk, testdisk will recover your stuff | 21:16 |
| hwilde | guntbert, I can't explain it any better than I just did | 21:16 |
| anonymtrk | ok | 21:16 |
| hwilde | mdm, looking at ipchains now | 21:16 |
| anonymtrk | let me have a try | 21:16 |
| baldr | Hello all , can I please ask something about python here ? | 21:16 |
| mari_ | Fzang I have xubuntu, so I guess gnome wont work ^ | 21:16 |
| guntbert | hwilde: I asked a yes/no question | 21:16 |
| mari_ | what should I put insted? | 21:16 |
| mdm | hwilde: setting up linux as a firewall takes VERY little resources, it may even be preferable to use some older hardware | 21:16 |
| anonymtrk | if u see me here again, this means an f-disk is being made :D | 21:16 |
| racecar56 | mari_, it's the same is | 21:16 |
| dupondje | What is a good burning tool on Ubuntu ? Brasero doesn't find my DVD writer, and GnomeBaker crashes every second :( | 21:17 |
| racecar56 | mari_, os | 21:17 |
| racecar56 | mari_, sudo apt-get install gnome gets gnome | 21:17 |
| Fzang | mari_, just a wild guess but try xfce_display_properties | 21:17 |
| mari_ | ok | 21:17 |
| hwilde | mdm, ipchains is deprecated :/ | 21:17 |
| hwilde | guntbert, no. reread what I said | 21:17 |
| hwilde | guntbert, computerA is on internal wifi that has no outside internet, computerB eth1 on internal wifi, computerB eth0 is on internet. I want computerA to be able to get internet through computerB. | 21:17 |
| mdm | hwilde: probably my firewall is too, but it works :) just use whatever is lastest | 21:18 |
| baldr | ciao | 21:18 |
| racecar56 | dupondje, wodim? | 21:18 |
| hwilde | mdm, iptables... but I don't think that does what I ant | 21:18 |
| racecar56 | dupondje, it's command line | 21:18 |
| mdm | hwilde: yes that is how you share network connections in linux | 21:18 |
| dupondje | command line is like 1990 :P | 21:18 |
| racecar56 | dupondje, how to run it: wodim dev=/dev/cdrom iso-image.iso | 21:18 |
| guntbert | hwilde: I mixed it up: so you want to share the internet connection from Computer B via wifi with A? | 21:19 |
| racecar56 | dupondje, just make an iso of what you want to burn, run wodim on it, and boom | 21:19 |
| dupondje | racecar56: don't need to burn iso, need to burn compilation ... | 21:19 |
| racecar56 | dupondje, notice: assuming /dev/cdrom is your cdrom | 21:19 |
| mdm | hwilde: computer B is running what OS? | 21:19 |
| hwilde | guntbert, yeah I guess so | 21:19 |
| hwilde | mdm, all ubuntu | 21:19 |
| racecar56 | dupondje, um compile it as an iso, wodim always works for me | 21:19 |
| max_ | hello | 21:20 |
| racecar56 | dupondje, it should work for u too | 21:20 |

| racecar56 | hi | 21:20 |
| LuciusMare | trough utp cabel,how can i do that? | 21:20 |
| guntbert | hwilde: did you have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing ? | 21:20 |
| Gorfy00 | ok i am a newb to linux, in a sense, and i'm curious if anyone else is having problems sharing from ubuntu to ubuntu in jaunty? and if so anyone have any fixes? | 21:20 |
| mdm | hwilde: there are also distrbutions that do firewall exclusivly with a MUCH smaller footprint | 21:20 |
| max_ | I need script help | 21:20 |
| LuciusMare | i tried putty but it hangs up at connecting to the computer | 21:20 |
| ScottG | Does anyone know of a way to get gnome to draw a transparent background? | 21:20 |
| ScottG | I want to allow compiz to draw it | 21:20 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare, why not just mount the windows filesystem ? | 21:20 |
| hwilde | !ntfs | LuciusMare | 21:20 |
| ubottu | LuciusMare: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 21:20 |
| gasto | how am I supposed to test the video card in the Live CD? | 21:20 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: either teach winodws NFS or use samba to share the drives in linux | 21:20 |
| LuciusMare | hwilde: actually,its hard to mount a partition over utp | 21:21 |
| baldr | Can someon please tell me the Italian ubuntu IRC channel ? | 21:21 |
| hwilde | !it | baldr | 21:21 |
| ubottu | baldr: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 21:21 |
| guntbert | gasto: you *have* the card? | 21:21 |
| baldr | Thanks :D | 21:21 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare, well it doesn't work because you wouldh ave to run an ssh server on the windows machine to connect to it with putty/pscp | 21:21 |
| LuciusMare | hwilde: how can i do thatM? | 21:21 |
| LuciusMare | *? | 21:21 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare, no idea. google for windows ssh server I guess | 21:22 |
| Gorfy00 | well i go to the sharing part by right clicking on it through and going through the shares and everytime i get that setup i go over to my other pc and it tells me unable to mount: failed to receive share list | 21:22 |
| LuciusMare | but windows can connect to the linux | 21:22 |
| LuciusMare | and i am not running an ssh server | 21:22 |
| LuciusMare | i think | 21:22 |
| LuciusMare | i mean,my windows machine can connect to the windows machine | 21:22 |
| chocobanana | LuciusMare: did you enable a firewall on the linux machine? | 21:23 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: you want to share drives? use samba from the unix box. Or just get the smbfs tools and share a drive from the windows box. Either way it will work, just make sure its behind a firewall and that firewall does not pass SMB/CIFS | 21:23 |
| LuciusMare | no | 21:23 |
| chocobanana | LuciusMare: are you trying to share files and folders? | 21:23 |
| LuciusMare | chocobanana: no,linux does not even have any "real" firewall | 21:23 |
| LuciusMare | mdm: yes,but i dont know how to set samba | 21:23 |
| clocKwize_ | hey, how can i logout of gnome back to the login screen without using the gnome-panel applet? (i'm using awn with a shutdown applet, but it doesn't have logout as an option) | 21:24 |
| clocKwize_ | is there a command i can run? | 21:24 |
| guntbert | gasto: if I recall correctly "hardware drivers" work in the live CD too, or you could use a usb stick with room to "keep" data | 21:24 |
| chocobanana | LuciusMare: of course it has real firewalls. Ufw and iptables are two examples! | 21:24 |
| Mozartstaedter | how could i invert this ??? "sudo sed -e 's/ non-free//' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" i didn't wanted the non-free parts some time ago but now i need skype and it is not shown in synaptics because i used the syntax above ... or is there another way to get the non-free parts back in my repositories??? | 21:24 |
| LuciusMare | iptables is not firewall | 21:24 |
| neurobuntu | clocKwize, have you tried logout? | 21:24 |
| mdm | LuciusMare: then share the drive from Windows, and use cifs to mount the drive on the linux box | 21:25 |
| NigroLinux | hey I have a problem with my Uubuntu | 21:25 |
| LuciusMare | mdm: can you /msg me the tutorial? | 21:25 |

| guntbert | clocKwize_: <ctrl><alt><backspace> should also work (you may have to install dontzap though) | 21:25 |
| CybeRebel | hello all:) is it true that if you mess with ubuntu system sounds you could end up having to reinstall? | 21:26 |
| guntbert | !dontzap | 21:26 |
| ubottu | To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 21:26 |

| papersoul | ok so use the live session, yes? | 21:46 |
| Slart | papersoul: you're not using some kind of BIOS boot selector, are you? | 21:46 |

| metaaa | and just because it's not being developed doesn't mean it doesn't still work, it's software that plays music, that's all i'm after | 21:48 |

| Slart | sierinjs: I think there is a front end for gnome available .. something like gmount or some such | 21:54 |
| sierinjs | i tried that, but it says that i need to specify file type | 21:54 |
| Slart | sierinjs: what kind of image is it? | 21:54 |

| icqn | sierinjs, you need to convert it to iso first | 21:55 |
| Slart | sierinjs: what *kind* of image is it.. ie bin/cue , iso, img etc | 21:55 |

| swayed | Slart, I have VLC set as my default movie player - but if I try playing a .vbs file through www.orb login page - It defaults with "Movie Player" which does not working - I think VLC would play it but not sure how to change this to default with what I'm doing ? | 21:56 |
| Slart | sierinjs: did you convert it or it was like that when you.. ahem.. created it from the original disc? | 21:57 |

| Slart | !anyone | eshat | 22:03 |
| ubottu | eshat: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | I'm wondering if ANYONE is successfully using jscal (the joystick calibration tool from the "joystick" package) successfully under 9.04? I have tried 2 installs: one being straight Ubuntu the other MythBuntu under 9.04 and on both installs jscal seem to have no impact. Under 8.10 jscal works fine. The reason jscal is required: my ps2 controllers work perfectly without any need for calibration BUT my n64 controllers do NOT! I store the output | 22:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | of jscal into scripts then calls those scripts when I'm using the N64 controllers. This issue is preventing me from updating my HTPC computer to 9.04, it's a "show stopper" for me. Doesn't someone else use jscal, or does this potential bug only affect it's single user? | 22:03 |
| Bram_P | Slart: it are many python files | 22:04 |
| Slart | eshat: but to answer your question..yes.. I think several people are "on kde4" some might even be here.. or in #kubuntu | 22:04 |
| eshat | Does amarok2 support ipod devices? | 22:04 |
| Slart | Bram_P: can you pastebin the output of "ls" in the root folder? | 22:04 |

| Shooree | I just did an update and it apparently messed up my X server and graphics stuff. I barely made it to graphical display after restarting. Now my system tells me I don't appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. I ran nvidia-xconfig, as the message said I should, but nothing changed. I still haven't got my window title bars. any thoughts? | 22:21 |
| blip- | isn't there a command to make sudo not expire ? I'm trying to run a long backup job as root | 22:21 |
| DMSaruman | mdm: as I was telling fccf (i don't know if you saw) the HD only has to last a few more months. Plus, when I ran CHKDSK /f in Windows, it said that there were only 4 kb of bad sectors. I don't know if that's changed or not. | 22:21 |
| Slart | histo: oh.. I've tried that.. running the scripts, downloading libdvdcss, libdvdread and those.. still doesn't work | 22:22 |

| guntbert | blip-: you can use sudo -i, it gives you a root shell | 22:22 |
| === mRat is now known as mRat__Gelecekk | ||
| Slart | blip-: why not use sudo -i | 22:22 |
| phase_shift314 | how can i go about playing a sound when i minimize or close a window? | 22:22 |
| turncoat | libdvdcss | 22:22 |
| Slart | blip-: remember to exit that shell when you're done | 22:22 |
| blip- | Slart, guntbert that | 22:22 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, uninstall the old restricted drivers and install them again (you will be installing a newer version) | 22:22 |
| fccf | !libdvdcss2 | 22:22 |
| blip- | that is the same as sudo su ? | 22:22 |

| xnixan | what is the best application for recording desktop on ubuntu? | 22:23 |
| Slart | !best | xnixan | 22:23 |
| ubottu | xnixan: 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. | 22:23 |
| Slart | xnixan: xrecordmydesktop is one I've heard mentioned | 22:23 |
| guntbert | blip-: better, but essentially yes | 22:23 |
| mdm | DMSaruman: that disk has failing sectors, most disks that will only accelerate. In fact do not be surprised if loose ALL the data on that disk. Currently you only have a few files that are corrupted. You are already PAST the point of data recovery, back it up and hope for the best. | 22:23 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, how do I uninstall it, though? It says I don't have them. the update messed up something major | 22:23 |
| blip- | guntbert, Slart, I will be using this to run a backup job on a remote server (using a screen) session. it will keep running all night, in the morning i'll reconnect over ssh and open the screen session. does this sound safe ? | 22:23 |
| turncoat | best application | 22:24 |
| archdave | anyone know the apt-get or apt-cache command that reports all installed packages? | 22:24 |
| Slart | blip-: why do you need sudo to not expire then? | 22:24 |
| turncoat | dpkg -l | 22:24 |
| mdm | archdave: dpkg -l | 22:24 |
| Slart | blip-: it will not expire for the command that is running | 22:24 |
| archdave | ty | 22:24 |
| Xodiac13 | Slart: i have already dont that what i am trying to do is get permission to watch it it says i dont have permission | 22:24 |
| turncoat | it's not apt-cache, but it works.. | 22:24 |
| Slart | Xodiac13: I can't help you.. I can't even help myself.. sorry | 22:25 |
| DMSaruman | mdm: thanks for the advice. good thing laptop HDs are so cheap >_> | 22:25 |
| Xodiac13 | Slart: np | 22:25 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, can I just activate the recommended version from "hardware drivers"? It actually tells me that I have a different version of it in use. | 22:25 |
| blip- | Slart: hmm I remember sometimes running progs for long, I come back and it's expired. just to be on the safe side, I don't want to wake up and see the backup had failed | 22:25 |
| Xodiac13 | i need help on watching dvds | 22:25 |
| Xodiac13 | all i need is permission | 22:25 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, yes... that seems ok | 22:25 |
| Slart | blip-: it will not expire.. if it does, you've got other problems | 22:25 |
| Xodiac13 | i have already done the repo and medibuntu | 22:25 |
| Slart | blip-: you're running one command? or a script? | 22:25 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, ok, but I messed it up once already by doing it... I'll try restarting | 22:26 |

| blip- | Slart: it's one command, (dirvish which then calls rsync) | 22:26 |
| thompa | anyone know if intel 965gm is still borked if i upgrade? | 22:26 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, wait... | 22:26 |
| Shooree | ok | 22:26 |
| blip- | Slart: so 2 processes | 22:26 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, you could remove it using synaptic... | 22:26 |
| Slart | blip-: once you've started a program with sudo/gksudo it will run as root.. the only thing that expires is when you want to run *another* sudo command | 22:26 |
| phase_shift314 | how can i go about playing a sound when i minimize or close a window? | 22:26 |
| thompa | im on 8.04 | 22:26 |
| Shooree | oh! | 22:26 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, or apt-get | 22:26 |
| blip- | Slart: rsync is forked by dirvish | 22:26 |
| Shooree | how stupid am I | 22:26 |
| Xodiac13 | is it possible to watch movies on ubuntu | 22:26 |
| Xodiac13 | ? | 22:26 |
| blip- | Slart: ah ok I see. Ill run it normally with sudo then. thanks | 22:27 |
| Slart | blip-: but if you run dirvish as root chances are that rsync will run as root too | 22:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | archdave, i much prefer the output of dpkg --get-selections "*" >myselections which creates a nice file called myselections -- this can also be used for system imaging type situations :) | 22:27 |
| Xodiac13 | i just nned to know how to get permission | 22:27 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, it will be nvidia-177-*something* or something like that... | 22:27 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, but I already activated it now. would that be a problem? | 22:27 |
| Xodiac13 | because it asks | 22:27 |
| blip- | Slart: yeah it does | 22:27 |
| baldo | nhgv | 22:27 |
| thompa | or is 8.04 working with 965gm cause of kernel or xorg driver? | 22:27 |
| blip- | Slart: wait maybe the rsync one will expire :? | 22:27 |
| NoVARaif | Afternoon all. I'm interested in finding a way to periodically (and automatically) run and log ping and traceroute results from my ubuntu server. I've been having issues with my VoIP QoS, and I'd like to have conclusive proof to give to my ISP to show the problem is in their infrastructure. I'm not finding much via google, so I thought I'd stop in here. | 22:27 |
| blip- | since it's not the main program, I don't know. I guess not | 22:27 |
| Slart | blip-: you worry to much.. run it with sudo.. go to bed ;) | 22:27 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, oh... you managed to activate it... just restart than | 22:27 |
| mib_kfgmcmum | can someone help, I just installed a bug fix, and want to know if I still need the kernel option "xforcevesa". I now seem to have my full resolution available, rather than just the 800x600 I had before | 22:27 |

| rabi | hi every body | 22:29 |
| pik} | my friend just installed jaunty on his laptop (hp dv 6000 series) and he's having some weird freeze problems. can anyone tell me what might cause this? | 22:30 |
| WoW | Hey guys how do i open port 5900 on here? Ubuntu jaunty | 22:30 |
| rabi | is any one here ? | 22:30 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, no luck. Upon restart it tried starting gdm a few times and failed, then started it up in low graphics mode | 22:30 |
| guntbert | rabi: yes | 22:31 |
| rabi | i m new ka i have some help ? | 22:31 |
| no_more_ext4 | i want a encrypted linux system disc install, is it possible? | 22:31 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, now I'm back to generic settings. the display itself is almost fine, it's just that it doesn't show window frames, titlebars and task panes | 22:31 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, um... just remove all nvidia releated stuff than... so than you can start fresh... "--purge" also might help a bit | 22:31 |
| guntbert | !ask | rabi | 22:31 |
| ubottu | rabi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:31 |
| rabi | thnx | 22:31 |
| rabi | so | 22:31 |
| WoW | how do i open port 5900 on here? Ubuntu jaunty | 22:32 |
| rabi | i have an tv card | 22:32 |
| guntbert | !enter | rabi | 22:32 |
| ubottu | rabi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:32 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, would you be so kind to type the entire command? I'm quite the noob at troubleshooting. thanks a bunch | 22:32 |
| nightdrever | has anyone used unetbootin?....and is it worth it?.....just now ive used wubi | 22:32 |
| jakupl | !enter | rabi | 22:32 |
| Kalmi | WoW: there is no firewall enabled by default... (it's probably your router...) | 22:32 |
| aliean | :-D hi folks, question: How do you format a 27TB file system either ext4 or XFS? | 22:32 |
| rabi | but its driver is available only for windows | 22:32 |
| genii | WoW: What you probably want is to look at your router and forward that port to the internal LAN IP of that machine. | 22:32 |
| Kalmi | nightdrever, yes... it's cool if you don't have a cd around... | 22:32 |
| genii | WoW: No ports are disabled by default | 22:33 |
| WoW | it tells me i cant connect thru | 22:33 |
| WoW | i need to be able to vnc my blackberry to ubuntu thats my goal lol | 22:33 |
| Kalmi | Shooree, sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* | 22:34 |
| Slart | aliean: 27TB?? you have 27TB of drive space and you ask in #ubuntu what to do with it? | 22:34 |
| bob__ | openoffice3.1 installed and now get document recovery error and than crashes any help here? | 22:34 |
| NoVARaif | Afternoon all. I'm interested in finding a way to periodically (and automatically) run and log ping and traceroute results from my ubuntu server. I've been having issues with my VoIP QoS, and I'd like to have conclusive proof to give to my ISP to show the problem is in their infrastructure. I'm not finding much via google, so I thought I'd stop in here. | 22:34 |
| genii | WoW: Again. See your router's manual | 22:34 |
| Shooree | thx, Kalmi | 22:34 |
| rabi | with linux manriva 2006 no prob but whit ubuntu i have some trouble in how shoosing the appropriate application to start it | 22:34 |
| WoW | umm ok... | 22:34 |
| brett__ | I just installed unbuntu 9.04. My Dell laptop that it is on is now running very hot. Tried the forums, but they seem to be down (at least I can't get to them) | 22:35 |
| zathras_laptop | anyone know how i can "destroy" an md array when the creation screwed up... | 22:35 |
| simplexio | NoVARaif: cron | 22:35 |
| guntbert | bob__: #openoffice.org might be a better place for that | 22:35 |
| simplexio | !cron | 22:35 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 22:35 |
| rabi | if any one has an answer i m grateful | 22:35 |
| NoVARaif | simplexio: yeah, been thinking about that... just pipe the output to a text file | 22:35 |
| aliean | Slart: Yes, we inherited this form a previous manager and it's 32-1TB disks that are raided. I tried command line with mkfs.xfs -b size=8K but it wont format it | 22:35 |
| simplexio | NoVARaif: commmand > file.txt | 22:36 |
| Slart | aliean: go to your boss and tell him you're not qualified for the job you have ;) | 22:36 |
| mdm | aliean: how does that raid device show up to the OS? | 22:36 |
| NoVARaif | simplexio: yep... or >> file.txt to append | 22:36 |
| Shooree | Kalmi, after the purge, should I just restart or... hm, it doesnt show ANYTHING in hardware drivers now. should I update apt-get? | 22:36 |
| brett__ | Are the forums down? | 22:36 |
| aliean | Slart: That's why I'm here. It shows up as a 28TB space | 22:37 |
| simplexio | NoVARaif: yep ... and probably you need run that stuff as root, depending net software you use | 22:37 |
| dr_spork | Hi everyone, I've been having lots of bizarre issues with brightness control on my laptop. It was all working on the previous version of ubuntu. Does anyone know how to revert packages and what packages might be responsible for controlling laptop brightness? | 22:37 |
| NoVARaif | simplexio: then the fun of analyzing/compiling the results can begin, eh? Rofl... | 22:38 |
| simplexio | aliean: 1T as 1000G or as 1024G | 22:38 |
| jakupl | dr_spork, have you tried rightclicking on the panel, adding the brightness applet there to fix it? | 22:38 |
| alanbell | dr_spork: I have no idea myself but you might want to tell us your laptop model and Ubuntu version. | 22:38 |
| fccf | brett__: forums are working | 22:39 |
| dr_spork | I'm using Karmic (I know, I know) on an MSI Wind. I haven't tried the brightness applet but I suspect that the problem might have to be solved at a more fundamental level | 22:39 |
| aliean | simplexio: They're segates Barracuda ES.2 1000GB | 22:39 |
| thelaugh1ngmime | what the equivelent of ctrl+a? | 22:39 |
| brett__ | odd. I go to www.ubuntuforums.org and firefox just sits there stating it is downloading from the site. Never gives me a page. | 22:40 |
| UntouchableMX | hey guys | 22:40 |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| Slart | aliean: you need to read the documentation for both xfs and ext4, there are probably limits on block sizes and such.. and you will probably have to tweak the settings to avoid things going horribly wrong.. | 22:40 |
| brett__ | hi, UntouchableMX | 22:40 |
| jakupl | brett__: I have no problems entering the site | 22:40 |
| simplexio | aliean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabyte | 22:40 |
| UntouchableMX | hows every 1 | 22:41 |
| brett__ | hmm. Guess I'll try a cache clear | 22:41 |
| fccf | !chat | UntouchableMX | 22:41 |
| ubottu | UntouchableMX: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 22:41 |
| simplexio | aliean: and xfs MAX should be 16 exabytes | 22:41 |
| fccf | UntouchableMX: this is not a chat channel this is a support channel.. for chatting use #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:42 |
| aliean | Slart: I read both and I am trying to format it using the 8K block size which gives me more than 32TB file system. The operation fails half way through. | 22:42 |
| mdm | its max is 1,024 PB that is xfs tho not the inode cache | 22:42 |
| Slart | simplexio: unless you're on a 32bit system.. then it's 16 TB | 22:42 |

| aliean | Slart: I am using a 64BIT system | 22:42 |
| mdm | aliean: I would guess you are running into the OS inode cache limit as xfs can most certainly handle that | 22:42 |
| aliean | Ubuntu 9.04 | 22:42 |
| UntouchableMX | hey one question, I install a windws driver for my wifi card using ndiswrapper, but it wont connect to the router, and the Password I give it is the correct one | 22:43 |
| mdm | aliean: what does uname -m say? | 22:43 |
| aliean | mdm: Maybe it's the raid controller but I see the raw space when I go to partion editor as 28TB | 22:43 |
| nano404 | Anyone familiar with Super Grub Disk? I was getting error 17. "Cannot mount selected partition", now that I tried redoing the Flashdrive and burning a CD it now says "This is not a bootable disk" etc. Thanks | 22:43 |
| _user_ | hey pals when the 2.6.30 kernel be released to ubuntu ????? i have 945 gma and need to use the fixes on the new kernel to boost my grapghics performance ??? | 22:44 |
| Slart | aliean: well.. I can't really help you.. I've only played with stuff below 2TB.. I've had no problems with xfs on those partitions | 22:44 |
| zenxr | UntouchableMX: that happens to me everytime I re-install. I always switch to the Wicd network manager and it solves the problem | 22:44 |
| fccf | UntouchableMX: ndiswrapper sometimes does not work with encryption .. you may want to try a linux native driver | 22:44 |
| aliean | mdm: x86_64 | 22:44 |
| UntouchableMX | ok zenxr Ill try that | 22:44 |
| aliean | SLart: Thanks :-D | 22:44 |
| mdm | aliean: it shows up as 28TB? then that is the driver for whatever raid card or the chip on the card | 22:44 |
| UntouchableMX | fccf the linux native driver dosent work for me | 22:44 |
| fccf | UntouchableMX: pastebin your lspci output - I may be able to point you in the right direction for the driver | 22:45 |
| mdm | aliean: what HBA is connecting it? via what media? | 22:45 |
| UntouchableMX | its a usb wifi card | 22:45 |
| fccf | UntouchableMX: then lsusb -- chances are though you should buy a compatible usb card | 22:46 |
| UntouchableMX | well i know that it works with other linux distributions | 22:46 |
| UntouchableMX | like wifislax | 22:46 |
| mdm | and I was wrong xfs only goes to 8 exabytes | 22:47 |
| Detrix | How do I test whether my laptops microphone is working? is there an app for that? | 22:47 |
| aliean | mdm: Gotta check on that. I have a 16-disk machine that is connected to a 16-disk SAS though a RAID card (Abardeene) | 22:48 |
| UntouchableMX | well brb gotta restart to get the lsusb info | 22:48 |
| undadecor | Detrix: Applications > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder | 22:48 |
| Detrix | undadecor: duh!!! Doh!!! thanx...sheesh | 22:48 |
| mdm | aliean: you might also want to chop that array down into smaller luns too | 22:49 |
| Detrix | ok, nope. its not working. argh. | 22:49 |
| aliean | like 2-14TB or smaller? | 22:50 |
| mdm | yes | 22:50 |
| undadecor | Detrix: what computer/mic do you have? | 22:50 |
| aliean | mdm: even though it's raided? | 22:50 |
| mdm | I dont know what you are using them for, so to give you a more precise answer i would have to have more information | 22:50 |
| aliean | mdm: data server and back up server. Also apt-proxy for the rest of the machines | 22:51 |

| XLV | Drknezz, what you mean fs change? ext4? | 23:00 |

| ubottu | ctritt: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 23:01 |

| Drknezz | Mike_lifeguard, try pressong Ctrl+Alt+F1 and reviewing the logs | 23:05 |
| XLV | Drknezz, cant find anything in google about it | 23:06 |
| Mike_lifeguard | genii: I'm using a terminal from within my graphical session... should I do ctrl-alt-f2 to do this? | 23:06 |
| _user_ | hey guys when ever i sudo apt-get i recieve http://pastebin.com/m31903373 | 23:06 |
| _user_ | plz help | 23:06 |
| Mike_lifeguard | oh, f1 is another tty :) | 23:06 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I thought that was reserved for something else... | 23:06 |
| genii | Mike_lifeguard: Restarting gdm from inside the gui doesn't probably work | 23:06 |
| Drknezz | XLV :( | 23:06 |
| Mike_lifeguard | ah, well let's give this another try then... properly :D | 23:06 |
| === Chase__ is now known as Chase_ | ||
| Drknezz | Mike_lifeguard, yes, try "dmesg" | 23:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _user_ read up on adding the gpg key for unsupported repos and turn off any other package manager like synaptic | 23:07 |
| === saulus_ is now known as SauLus | ||
| Chase_ | I've built and installed the ubuntu kernel with one tiny patch I needed for my hw, and I used the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, but now when I run apt-get upgrade it seems to want to reinstall the kernel | 23:08 |
| mdm | _user_: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com D739676F7613768D | 23:08 |
| Chase_ | how do I get it to realize that the kernel is already installed? | 23:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | genii If he was trying to install new video drivers that did not work from there either | 23:08 |
| genii | Jack_Sparrow: Yup | 23:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chase_ there is #KErnel that might also have info for you | 23:09 |
| _user_ | mdm worked thank you !! | 23:09 |

| Chase_ | Jack_Sparrow: isn't that a general kernel channel though? | 23:10 |
| Chase_ | not ubuntu specific? | 23:10 |
| Drknezz | Chase_, go into synaptic, and find your kernel package, then right-click it -> Force version | 23:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chase_ yep. What were you trying to add to the kernel | 23:10 |
| Chase_ | I was trying to add this: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12814 | 23:10 |
| mrwes | Anyone having sound issues with VLC rc+1 Goldeneye? | 23:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chase_ Just say what it is I dont want to go there | 23:10 |
| Chase_ | it was hosing up my hd performance most likely due to irq issues | 23:10 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Drknezz: well, it only took a second, but killed my graphical session (which I guess is normal)... but what is dmesg for? | 23:10 |
| mamoul | hey buddies | 23:11 |
| Chase_ | it's a small patch for the cx88 tuner chips | 23:11 |
| Drknezz | Mike_lifeguard, it show the latest kernel messages | 23:11 |
| * Mike_lifeguard gives it a try... | 23:11 | |
| Chase_ | it sets an irq mask during one of the functions | 23:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chase_ Are you running ubuntu or mythbuntu etc | 23:11 |
| === mRat__Gelecekk is now known as mRat | ||
| Chase_ | ubuntu | 23:11 |
| Chase_ | though, running mythtv on top | 23:11 |

| Chase_ | np | 23:12 |
| roadi | well i am trying to debootrstrap ubuntu but i am getting the error message that some deb files are missing - i am using the http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ... so why are debs missing with the default 'settings' of debootstrap? | 23:13 |
| eseven73 | How do I allow anonymous sftp? | 23:14 |
| roadi | batw i would install ubuntu on the normal way but everytime i install it from cd i get an error that the checksum of the one debfile is wrong... | 23:14 |
| junx0r | what ubuntu version/distro should i use if i am going to use it on a desktop with no video card and used for storing mp3s/docs/pictures and maybe a wow server? desktop vs server? and would it be possible to install it remotely to said desktop with no video card? | 23:16 |
| junx0r | ;D | 23:16 |
| Chase_ | Drknezz: I don't know what "Force version" is supposed to do, but it didn't help | 23:17 |
| tlvb | is the rtorrent schedule timestamps in seconds by default? (so, setting a schedule interval of 300 would be five minutes?) | 23:17 |

| ZykoticK9 | eseven73, "anonymous" access would sort of defeat the purpose of using an encrypted connection. I have never heard of anyone using SFTP as a direct replacement for Anonymous FTP access. ??? sort of an interesting idea. | 23:19 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Hey could anyone tell me where I can get my hands on the ubuntu-classroom .ics (calendar)? | 23:21 |
| fccf | !ubuntu-classroom | 23:21 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:21 |
| eseven73 | ZykoticK9, yeah I know it sounds silly, I just don't want to have FTP for anyone, I would rather it be more secure like sftp | 23:22 |
| Shooree | hi, would anyone know how to recuperate from a particularly horrible upgrade that left me without X server and window frames? | 23:23 |
| === aaron_ is now known as TiMiDo | ||
| ZykoticK9 | Shooree, start by trying to run "metacity --replace" in a terminal - perhaps that will bring your Windows Manager back. Good luck. | 23:24 |
| UntouchableMX | hey guys | 23:25 |
| Shooree | ZykoticK9, hi. I'm using compiz and emerald. tried reloading and restarting both them and the system dozens of times | 23:25 |
| UntouchableMX | hey fccf are you still here? | 23:25 |
| ericrost | Just upgraded my laptop from hardy to jaunty and I had a manual configuration for my wifi under hardy, now under jaunty, network manager applet just says device not managed although the manual config is apparently obeyed since wifi still works | 23:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | Shooree, are you missing TitleBars on windows etc? | 23:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Shooree: have you tried installing ubuntu-desktop? | 23:25 |
| ericrost | any idea how to fix? | 23:25 |
| ericrost | so that I can edit the config again | 23:25 |
| InfectedWithDrew | Hey everyone, I want to create a bootable Ubuntu flash drive that doesn't revert to default settings after a reboot, how do I do that? | 23:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Shooree: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:26 |
| harrisony | ericrost: look in /etc/network/interfaces and pastbin it please | 23:26 |
| Shooree | Paddy_EIRE, ok | 23:26 |
| UntouchableMX | !pastbin | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin | 23:26 |
| Shooree | ZykoticK9, yes | 23:26 |
| harrisony | !pastebin | ericrost | 23:26 |
| ubottu | ericrost: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 23:26 |
| UntouchableMX | !pastebin | 23:26 |
| darlek | sudo apt-get pastebinit | 23:26 |
| Xodiac13 | is there anyway i can get a 64bit avast | 23:27 |
| darlek | you have to do that first, then you can pipe output to pastebinit | 23:27 |
| m1dlg | my computer is not showing my DVD drive anymore what can I do to fix it? | 23:27 |
| robin | R013lN | 23:27 |
| harrisony | Xodiac13: do you have to use avast, clamav works well | 23:27 |
| UntouchableMX | fccf are you still in? | 23:27 |
| ericrost | http://pastebin.com/m6684bd46 | 23:27 |
| harrisony | darlek: it can be easier but you dont need to | 23:27 |
| Xodiac13 | harrisony: how do i get the clamav 64bit | 23:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | Shooree, until you get the X thing worked out, Compiz/Emerald isn't going to work. so if you want titlebars while troubleshooting the metacity replace will correct the titlebar issue - nothing else though, you still have the whole xorg driver problem... | 23:27 |
| fccf | UntouchableMX: I am here | 23:27 |
| Justin10ec | Is there a uTorrent equivalent for Ubuntu? I want something where I can set the upload limit and upload slots... | 23:28 |
| ericrost | I blanked the key obviously | 23:28 |
| UntouchableMX | ok heres the lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/186079/ | 23:28 |
| harrisony | Xodiac13: if your running 64bit ubuntu- sudo apt-get install clamav works | 23:28 |
| morghanphoenix | I have a question about compiz-fusion. | 23:28 |
| morghanphoenix | I remember a setting to disable the animations when I raised or lowered a window with beryl, like yakuake so it drops down from the top like it was intended to rather than appears in a poof, but I can't seem to find that setting in ccsm. | 23:28 |
| harrisony | Justin10ec: transmission, its included with ubuntu | 23:28 |
| m1dlg | I use Utorrent under Wine all the time | 23:28 |
| darlek | Justin10ec, try deluge? | 23:28 |
| morghanphoenix | ktorrent | 23:28 |
| harrisony | ericrost: so do you want to be using networkmanager or not | 23:28 |
| morghanphoenix | clostes to utorrent | 23:28 |
| Xodiac13 | harrisony: it said could not find package works | 23:29 |
| harrisony | morghanphoenix: also requires KDE which can be bulky :) | 23:29 |
| morghanphoenix | just a few libs | 23:29 |
| ericrost | I do, I used to leave it in the "manual config" option because it was easy to have two profiles, sans that option, I'll use network manager | 23:29 |
| darlek | Justin10ec, I can set limits and upload slots with deluge, the others are more basic | 23:29 |
| morghanphoenix | but if you're really limited on space I can see how it could be a problem | 23:29 |
| harrisony | ericrost: ok, get rid of the first 3 lines and then restart networkmanager and all is good | 23:29 |
| morghanphoenix | Deluge is the closest that doesn't need kde libs | 23:29 |
| ericrost | thought so after you pointed me there, thx! | 23:29 |
| Justin10ec | darlek: What repo do I need to add? | 23:29 |

| Mike_lifeguard | morghanphoenix: there is #compiz-fusion :) | 23:42 |

| morghanphoenix | Nothere isn't Mike_lifeguard,only compiz, at least on FreeNode. | 23:43 |
| harrisony | Xodiac13: you dont need an anti-virus for linux for the desktop | 23:43 |
| bogdan_ | now i run the update command and i get another error, something with 404 http://paste.ubuntu.com/186088/ | 23:43 |
| darlek | erUSUL, pastebinit and paste.ubuntu.com are different uses, so piping the output of a terminal command to pastebinit is easier than copy paste. YMMV | 23:43 |
| Guest1624 | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 23:43 |
| harrisony | dft: you cant | 23:43 |
| Drikan | !blue ray | 23:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | morghanphoenix, I tried using quake under compiz too - and it look crappy! i never found a fix - just quit using quake (which is very cool) | 23:43 |
| Xodiac13 | harrisony: why is that i have wine and i heard that wine can get viruses | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about blue ray | 23:43 |
| Mike_lifeguard | morghanphoenix: #compiz then (-fusion used to redirect there) | 23:43 |
| Anacranom | Decessus, try sudo apt-cache search <app-name> for a list of packages | 23:43 |
| harrisony | dft: as your removing the existing log daemon which is under ubuntu-minimal | 23:43 |
| Drikan | !blueray | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about blueray | 23:44 |
| dft | harrisony: I can't install it along side and just disable one and enable the other as I can do on other distros | 23:44 |
| harrisony | Xodiac13: wine can get viruses but only if your running evil programs under it | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | darlek: as i said you are free to propose better wording/instructions for the factoid. this is a comunity effort everyone can contribute | 23:44 |

| morghanphoenix | Yeah, Evidently it is "Focus Animation" but I can't find how to make it ignore just the one. | 23:44 |
| Xodiac13 | harrisony: i am only running games like dod source, team fortress 2, and so on | 23:44 |

| bogdan_ | harrysony can u please help me out | 23:46 |
| harrisony | bogdan_: with what | 23:46 |
| joaopinto | dft, ubuntu-minimal is just a metapackage, removing it will not remove it's described packages | 23:46 |
| joaopinto | if you remove a package listed on the meta package, the meta package will be removed | 23:46 |
| bogdan_ | i did what u told me and after i runt the sudo apt-get update command i get another error which is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/186088/ | 23:47 |
| Decessus | ty mdm | 23:47 |
| dft | joaopinto: I understand so other than the listed associated real packages nothing will be affected? | 23:47 |

| harrisony | Mike_lifeguard: uname -m | 23:51 |
| harrisony | filosofixit: i got it working, but it was just total fail | 23:51 |

| Mike_lifeguard | harrisony: whee! it tells me something that's not one of the options :D (i686) | 23:52 |
| filosofixit | harrisony : ok, I think I will just leave it then :) thnx | 23:52 |
| harrisony | Mike_lifeguard: thats 32 bit | 23:52 |

| ikus060 | Hi, I'm using Jaunty 9.04 for a while and the poor performance of the compoziting (compiz or metacity) with the ATI open driver make me sick. Is there any solution ???? | 23:54 |
| harrisony | [DeViL_KiLLs]: best bet is to go to #ubuntu-server | 23:54 |
| harrisony | ikus060: used the closed source driver | 23:54 |

| harrisony | [DeViL_KiLLs]: the server team know apache and stuff like that | 23:55 |
| genii | [DeViL_KiLLs]: If /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default exists, just edit it. It normally is there unless you've deleted it or so | 23:55 |
| harrisony | ikus060: what model card | 23:55 |
| Mike_lifeguard | erUSUL, histo: OK, perhaps I'm dense... It says: "1. Download & install the 2.6.29.4 kernel, based on your architecture: i386 users:...stuff... amd64 users:... stuff" but i686!=i386 and != amd64 :) | 23:55 |
| ikus060 | harrisony: Radeon X300 (M22) | 23:55 |
