| Dr_Willis | there are MUCH better irc clients then Pidgin. | 00:00 |
| cheeseman | openj pidgin click irc enter user name and server | 00:01 |
| dma | can u recomend one | 00:01 |
| cheeseman | click ok | 00:01 |
| quickdraw | xchat is the best for irc, but dma wants yahoo. | 00:01 |
| fccf | !best | Dr_Willis | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Dr_Willis: 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. | 00:01 |
| quickdraw | i don't know which client would work well for that. | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | fccf: i never said what was best. :P | 00:01 |
| FactTech | PhotoJIm -- I think maybe it *is* part of the ncpfs package, which is in the jaunty and intrepid repositories. You definitely should look into this. | 00:02 |
| * fccf re directs question to quickdraw | 00:02 | |
| Barridus | aspect ratios are goofed up for videos in totem, anyone have an idea of a fix? | 00:02 |
| FactTech | PhotoJim -- thanks for providing the extra impetus to keep looking. Hope it helps. | 00:02 |

| mac-wilson | Hello | 00:04 |
| fccf | !hi | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:04 |
| fresh_prince | Hello, I am trying to do a simple make file, but it just seems to execute the first command, ideas ? | 00:05 |
| mac-wilson | Can someone help me with installing ALSA upgrades for Ubuntu 8.10 ? I've downloaded all of the latest (1.20) packages. But I do not know how to go about upgrading, etc. | 00:05 |
| Ablonus | fresh_prince, makefiles are almost never simple :-( | 00:05 |
| fccf | !worksforme | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 00:06 |
| Ablonus | You probably need a dependence | 00:06 |
| fccf | mac-wilson: that said is there a reason you need to upgrade --- sound troubles? | 00:06 |
| fresh_prince | Ablonus: can you please check this out ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/191188/ | 00:06 |
| linxeh | fresh_prince: did you use tabs or spaces? | 00:07 |
| dma_ | can i use xchat in windows | 00:07 |
| mac-wilson | yes fccf :) .I added "options snd-hda-intel model=imac24" to the end of /etc/modeprobe.d/alsa-base. Then when i rebooted, I changed my Sound Device to Realtek ALC889A (OSS Mixer). | 00:07 |
| mac-wilson | That did the trick for the no sound problem, but only for the internal speakers. | 00:07 |
| mac-wilson | Even with my headphones plugged in or unplugged the sound always comes out of the internal speakers, and never from headphones. | 00:08 |
| diego_ | Hi, I have a problem, when I try to open a pdf file from a CD the document viewer returns an error message. When I try to copy one of these files on the hardrive I get another error message "Couldn't read the file" or something like that. The files are OK because I can open them under windows and Ubuntu 8.10 used to open them no problem (I upgraded to Jaunty recently). What am I missing here? Any ideas? | 00:08 |
| linxeh | diego_: the cd has got smudged or scratched | 00:08 |
| mac-wilson | I did a bit of research and saw another person who had the same computer, problem, etc as me. But his version of ALSA was more updated, mine is only 1.17. I figured that might be the problem. | 00:08 |
| cabrey | diego_, can you copy them in windows? | 00:09 |
| Ablonus | fresh_prince, I'm not an expert but you could maybe put "all: example_smooth hello_world" at the top then make all | 00:09 |
| mac-wilson | fccf , any ideas? | 00:09 |
| diego_ | linxeh: The CD is shiny and smooth | 00:09 |
| fresh_prince | Ablonus: ok thanks :D | 00:09 |
| Ablonus | The "all:" line is intended to include the other build targets | 00:09 |
| fccf | mac-wilson: imac ... is that on a mac? | 00:09 |
| diego_ | cabrey: I could try | 00:09 |
| aaditya | diego_: are other CDs working well on your machine? | 00:09 |
| mac-wilson | yes ;). I have Intel iMac 7,1 | 00:09 |
| Ablonus | IIRC make on its own will make the first target specified in the file | 00:10 |
| cabrey | diego_, if you can copy them to a flash drive or access your windows partition from within ubuntu | 00:10 |
| fccf | mac-wilson: nvidia or intel graphics | 00:10 |
| diego_ | aaditya: Yeah, I have problems only with pdf | 00:10 |
| cabrey | diego_, you could install Adobe Acrobat Reader | 00:10 |
| mac-wilson | ATI Radeon 2400 XT | 00:10 |
| aaditya | diego_: only one particular PDF file? or all PDFs? | 00:10 |
| linxeh | diego_: what happens when you copy the files on the command line ? | 00:10 |
| mac-wilson | but just google Intel iMac 7,1 | 00:10 |
| linxeh | diego_: the fact you cant copy them worries me... it suggests the disc is faulty | 00:11 |
| diego_ | linxeh: all pdf I tried have the same problem | 00:11 |
| cabrey | diego_, try Adobe Reader | 00:11 |
| diego_ | linxeh: didn't try the command line. I'll try that | 00:11 |
| aaditya | diego_: try navigating to the CD drive using the terminal and then execute `cp filename.pdf /tmp/` | 00:11 |
| aaditya | diego_: let's see what it outputs | 00:12 |
| diego_ | cabrey: can I install it with apt-get¿ | 00:12 |

| mac-wilson | fccf ? | 00:13 |
| fccf | mac-wilson: there haven't been any reports for jaunty on ubuntu forums...yet for the imac 7.1 ... you might go ahead with the upgrade.. it might have even been fixed in jaunty...as i understand it | 00:14 |
| hipitihop | I have some NFS mounts and they time out, forcing me to run 'mount -a' to get access again, what causes this time out ? or how do I preventit ? | 00:14 |

| ingcomrbr | It is a good softphone.. | 00:15 |
| mac-wilson | i guess you could call that a need for a walk through ;) | 00:15 |
| diego_ | aaditya: When I try to copy it to /tmp I get an input/output error | 00:15 |
| hipitihop | ingcomrbr: sorry to but it, but is there an asterisk irc channel, I want to learn more to see if I should consider running it at home | 00:15 |
| fccf | mac-wilson: you'll need to download the debs for the version of alsa that you want to install then install them with dpkg or Gdebi | 00:16 |
| aaditya | Ablonus: #mysql | 00:16 |
| diego_ | aaditya: The files have long names like "Hamermesh - Group Theory and its Application to Physical Problems.djvu" | 00:17 |
| mac-wilson | fccf: I just want to make sure that I downloaded the right debs? With me in my Downloads folder are alsa-driver,firmware,lib,plugins,tools,utils,pyalsa. all of which are version 1.0.20, and all of which end in tar.bz2 . | 00:17 |
| mjmac | hipitihop: have you tried #asterisk? | 00:17 |

| mac-wilson | fccf, which of the installers do you recommend for Ubuntu beginners: dpkg or Gdebi? | 00:19 |

| cheeseman | you can exract the exe source code and run it under linux format | 00:19 |

| mac-wilson | Hmm. I only have ALSA 1.0.17, and the person who has the same computer type as me (Intel iMac 7,1) had ALSA 1.0.19. Oddly enough, after rebooting his computer his headphones had sound. | 00:21 |
| hipitihop | mjmac: no, only started reading about it yesterday | 00:21 |
| aaditya | axisys: and then restarted the browser? | 00:21 |
| cheeseman | i dont know how to get alsa to work so i used a diferent sound card | 00:21 |
| fccf | mac-wilson: have you updated to the latest versions system wide... using the updater or synaptic... these may have the fix you need | 00:21 |
| axisys | aaditya: nawp.. ok let me try that | 00:22 |
| mac-wilson | no. i'll check with Update Manager | 00:22 |
| Mike_lifeguard | How would one force re-installation using apt-get? | 00:22 |
| mac-wilson | My system is up to date, accordin to Update Manager | 00:22 |
| cabrey | Wavesonics, sudo aptitude install build-essential x-window-system-dev should do it | 00:22 |
| fccf | mac-wilson: did you run "check" | 00:23 |
| cheeseman | apt-get uninstall then use apt-get install | 00:23 |
| axisys | aaditya: still says get the quicktime http://www.apple.com/iphone/guidedtour/#medium | 00:23 |

| fccf | mac-wilson you may also need to blacklist the rtl driver | 00:29 |

| Paddy_EIRE | hipitihop: you may also want to read this http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_network/x-087-2-nfs.mountd.html | 00:30 |
| mac-wilson | fccf: I added "options snd-hda-intel model=imac24" to the end of /etc/modeprobe.d/alsa-base. | 00:30 |

| aaditya | Oven1: did you restart the X server after adding the new mode? | 00:57 |
| nsahoo | new to debian/ubuntu here. why are there normally two apt urls that we add ? one deb the other deb-source? | 00:57 |
| KageFever | could someone help me out? my eSATA drive won't show up using fdisk -l or in gparted, its ntfs if that helps. | 00:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Leolo_3: ubuntu is not debian | 00:57 |
| Oven1 | No i did not do that | 00:57 |
| Pricey | nsahoo: deb gives the binaries which is used to instal the programs ready to run. deb-src lets you get the human readable source code so that you can make changes to create your own binaries. | 00:57 |

| aaditya | Oven1: that keyboard shortcut basically kills the x-server | 00:58 |

| bastidrazor | jascase901, do you have the backports checked also? | 00:58 |
| aaditya | to restart it, log out and the login | 00:58 |
| cheeseman | ctl+alt+del | 00:58 |

| aaditya | he forgot the / | 01:20 |
| orudie | hi, why is ubuntu netbook 950 mb ? | 01:20 |
| commaCamel | aaditya: i've gone through both of those pages amongst many others, i have all packages installed that they suggest, some dvds work, it seems movie dvds will not (all dvds i have tried are commercial copies) | 01:20 |
| Gnea | orudie: have you read the website? | 01:21 |
| aaditya | Um_cara_qualquer: see if you could find that key and restore it. If you wish to reset the entire gconf registry, delete ~/.gconf2. Note that you'll lose most of the custom settings in gnome | 01:21 |
| aaditya | commaCamel: so none of the movie DVDs work? | 01:21 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | ah X_X | 01:22 |
| commaCamel | aaditya: correct | 01:22 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | shoot... i wish just fix this thing | 01:22 |
| Gnea | first requirement listed for the netbook installation: A 1GB USB flash drive (aka thumb drive) | 01:22 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | is there another way? | 01:22 |
| xiong | um, i'm trying to connect to a cell phone | 01:22 |
| Gnea | Um_cara_qualquer: what's the problem? | 01:22 |
| aaditya | Um_cara_qualquer: try to guess the key ;) | 01:23 |
| Gnea | xiong: how? for what? | 01:23 |
| nouri | Hello all. I'm having a funny problem since my upgrade to Jaunty. | 01:23 |
| xiong | i can't seem to make a go of it either with a cable or through bluetooth | 01:23 |
| nouri | When I start JACK through qjackctl with no pulse-audio daemon running, someone or something decides to start pulseaudio just before that. | 01:23 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | the right numbers of my keyboard doesn't work | 01:23 |
| ctmjr | commaCamel, you might need to do region set on your dvd drive try this if you have not done so https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 01:23 |
| mojo_ | can some one show me how to git clone a branch? eg. I want to retrieve branch "2.17.5" of gnome-icon-theme | 01:23 |
| nouri | So that JACK will fail to startup. I'm calling pulseaudio with /usr/bin/pulseaudio -k and I can see that there's no process until I start qjackctl -s. | 01:23 |
| aaditya | commaCamel: you need the medibuntu packages. try that if you haven't already | 01:23 |
| Gnea | Um_cara_qualquer: is NumLock turned on? | 01:23 |
| padge | aaditya, Groovy. Thanks for your help. | 01:24 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | its a config problem... i just disabled it somehow... and i can't get it fix again | 01:24 |
| xiong | Gnea, i have two goals: (1) to download photos taken with the camera phone into my ubuntu laptop; (2) to use the cell phone as a internet connection for the laptop | 01:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | newbier: may I ask how long you have had that laptop for? | 01:24 |

| newbier | Paddy_EIRE, 2 years | 01:24 |
| xiong | boost mobile motorola i776 | 01:24 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | it's some gconf-editor problem that i changed | 01:25 |
| Gnea | what's boost mobile? | 01:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | newbier: I am thinking that there may be problems with your battery itself | 01:25 |
| xiong | Gnea, the service carrier is boost -- the model is motorola | 01:25 |
| xiong | sorry for any confusion | 01:25 |
| newbier | Paddy_EIRE, ok thanks anyway | 01:25 |
| Gnea | xiong: most baby-bells don't support many of those functions | 01:25 |
| xiong | Gnea, i would like to see just what can be done | 01:26 |
| commaCamel | aaditya: so this may be a symptom, because when i run regionset with one of the dvds that do not work, regionset returns an error saying "could not open disc (null)" but when i run it with a dvd that is already working then regionset works fine | 01:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | newbier: sorry I could not be more help | 01:26 |
| xiong | Gnea, so far, i'm not able to communicate anything from phone to laptop, although one of the packages i installed did appear to communicate on some level | 01:26 |
| eX|Eddie | hello | 01:27 |
| Romulus_ | I've burned an ISO with ImgBurn, I downloaded the image from the Ubuntu official site, version 9.04-i386. I can't seem to get my machine to read the image. | 01:27 |
| nasht | anyone can help with my network connexion? | 01:27 |
| xiong | Gnea, sorry, that's confusing -- i mean, no user data exchanged but the laptop recognized the phone through the cable -- still no bluetooth | 01:27 |
| webbs02 | :P | 01:27 |
| bluejeans | Romulus_, bios set to book cd drive? or how are you tryin to boot? | 01:28 |
| bluejeans | *boot | 01:28 |
| Gnea | xiong: makes sense, i've done it with a razr before (made by motorola) and the process can be a bit odd at times | 01:28 |
| Romulus_ | bluejeans: I disabled the HDD and set the CD drive to boot first. With the HDD enabled, I get an NLTDR missing error, a remnant of Windows. | 01:29 |
| xiong | Gnea, i installed several mobile phone packages; the only one i've made any progress with is 'wammu' | 01:29 |
| Gnea | xiong: used to be they wouldn't let me browse it, nowadays it works fine... as for using it as a wireless modem, that definitely works, once the usb device is setup correctly | 01:29 |
| bluejeans | Romulus_, check md5 sums? | 01:29 |
| carlitos | #ubuntu-es | 01:29 |
| bluejeans | ... to be sure of a good burn | 01:30 |
| xiong | i don't understand any of this -- what is a bluetooth address and where would i discover it? | 01:30 |
| Gnea | xiong: a bluetooth address is like a mac address - it identifies the device | 01:30 |
| === michael__ is now known as michael_wigren | ||
| Romulus_ | Bluejeans: ImgBurn checks the data on disk with the CD. I wonder, does Vista have a utility to display the checksum? | 01:31 |
| xiong | Gnea, so i suppose, i should be able to get that info out of one of the phone menus | 01:31 |
| bluejeans | Romulus_, never used vista... i'm clueless on windows. sorry | 01:31 |
| Gnea | xiong: no, you need to install bluez-utils and use the cli util to get it (can't remember what it's called) | 01:32 |

| Gnea | Polarina: not seeing it in the current repository, so no | 01:33 |
| Polarina | Gnea: That's why I asked. | 01:33 |

| Gnea | Polarina: oh, you're a wesnoth person? I like you. :) | 01:35 |
| Gnea | xiong: you can go nuts with bluetooth packages, but I would just follow what's on that website for now, just to get some sort of basic functionality going | 01:36 |

| xiong | Gnea, i'm a pretty raw ubuntu noob, i don't follow most of that webpage | 01:36 |
| === mdg is now known as linux | ||
| Gnea | xiong: ok, I'll try to walk ya through it | 01:37 |
| xiong | i've successfully got the laptop to recognize the mere existence of the phone | 01:37 |
| Gnea | excellent | 01:37 |
| xiong | i kinda expect a folder for the phone to appear in the file browser | 01:37 |
| xiong | i have the phone cabled, also | 01:38 |
| Gnea | it's not quite that simple, yet | 01:38 |
| Gnea | you need to get the phone to authenticate with a pin via bluetooth | 01:38 |
| Gnea | and forget the cable for now | 01:38 |
| xiong | unplug cable? | 01:38 |
| Gnea | you'll confuse it and it won't work if you have both trying to go at once | 01:38 |
| Gnea | yeah | 01:38 |
| Polarina | Too bad sound is still broken on my laptop as a regression since 8.04. :( | 01:38 |

| ubottu | marcosRz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:46 |
| marcosRz | Gnea, I think you dont understand, Ekiga is included on Ubuntu, and so is considered support software | 01:47 |
| xiong | Gnea, wammu is again up to the point where it's asking for a port... | 01:47 |
| ckwalsh | Gah. Something messed up. Anyone say whether they know why the close buttons aren't knowing up in gnome? | 01:47 |
| Gnea | marcosRz: wrong. Ekiga is included in Ubuntu, we support making sure that it operates at a basic functionality level, anything beyond that is out of our hands. | 01:47 |
| LjL | marcosRz: err, the Ekiga *program* is included in Ubuntu, but whether the a number in Ekiga *telephony network* is up or down is hardly Ubuntu-related | 01:48 |
| Gnea | marcosRz: so you should ask in #ekiga | 01:48 |
| marcosRz | Gnea, Right know is not operating basically, but if you dont know sip:520@ekiga.net is the default 'backbone' of Ekiga | 01:48 |
| Gnea | !ekiga | marcosRz | 01:48 |
| ubottu | marcosRz: ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga | 01:48 |
| Gnea | marcosRz: see the website, ask in #ekiga | 01:49 |
| xiong | Gnea, 'bluetooth preferences' doesn't give me any such port or bluetooth address -- i installed 'gnome-bluetooth' using synaptic but i don't see it in any menus, unless it has another name | 01:49 |
| marcosRz | Gnea, I tried already they are on irc.gimp.org, and the channel is dead. =/ | 01:49 |
| Gnea | marcosRz: then you'll need to be patient. | 01:49 |
| xiong | * i find it frustrating that the gnome desktop menu items don't seem to have the same names as the things to which they point! * | 01:50 |
| LjL | marcosRz, Ekiga is both a program and a VoIP network. the latter has nothing to do with Ubuntu and we don't support it here. feel free to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic whether that number is up for others. | 01:50 |
| Gnea | xiong: when you turn your bluetooth on the laptop on, do you get a little bluetooth icon show up in the top panel? | 01:50 |

| rafase282 | Hello, I need help. I'm trying to make a linux distro with the android sdk and eclipse to run from a usb | 01:51 |

| Polarina | Where's the restart button on 9.10?? | 01:52 |
| Gnea | Polarina: #ubuntu+1 would know... we only support up to 9.04 in this channel | 01:52 |
| ckwalsh | Any guesses as to why GNOME isn't displaying the close buttons? | 01:52 |
| Gnea | ckwalsh: layout was changed? | 01:53 |
| ckwalsh | Last time I turned it on yesterday, my laptop was fine | 01:53 |
| Polarina | Gnea: Ok. | 01:53 |
| xiong | Gnea, there has *always* been a little bluetooth icon in the tray -- it seems only to have one menu item, which i just now used to set up the phone (to introduce the devices to one another) | 01:53 |
| ckwalsh | Gnea, I made sure it was on hte Human theme, still not showing up | 01:53 |
| Gnea | xiong: ok good | 01:53 |
| Gnea | ckwalsh: does it happen if you make a new account and login with it? | 01:54 |
| ckwalsh | Hrm, let me restart gdm | 01:54 |
| xiong | Gnea, fumbling around, i have got another icon in the tray; this says on mouseover, ready for bluetooth file transfers | 01:54 |
| jeffthree | how do I (or can I) add xsetroot to /usr/share/xsession/twm.desktop (I've never used gdm before) | 01:54 |
| MaT-dg1 | what does it mean when a package is held back when I upgrade? | 01:54 |
| xiong | Gnea, but right-click on that icon gives me only 'about' and 'quit'; left-click does nothing at all | 01:54 |
| Gnea | xiong: what about left or middle click? | 01:55 |
| xiong | Gnea, left-click, nothing; i don't have a middle button | 01:55 |
| Gnea | xiong: click left+right=middle :) | 01:55 |
| xiong | Gnea, did that: nothing | 01:55 |
| Gnea | hmm | 01:56 |
| jeffthree | Gnea: only if x is configured to emulate three buttons... | 01:56 |
| xiong | the 'about' says, 'gnome-obex-server 0.11.0' | 01:56 |
| kev_zhong | hello, newbie here. How can I install the latest wine-1.1.23 which is not in deb yet | 01:56 |
| Polarina | kev_zhong: Wait for a build, or compile manually. | 01:57 |
| Gnea | xiong: ah ok, then that's the obex, which handles file transfer mode to the phone over bluetooth | 01:57 |
| Gnea | xiong: can you select the phone under Places? | 01:57 |
| mattx86 | hey guys, if I were to get Ubuntu for my x86_64 desktop, should I go for version 9.04? Also, is it relatively easy to upgrade when a new version comes out? | 01:57 |
| kev_zhong | do you think it wouldn't make a difference if I use the stable version, because I have been trying to install some games that get a gold rating but haven't luck yet | 01:57 |
| * xiong looks | 01:57 | |

| xiong | Gnea, i have it in my mind that the phone should appear somewhere on the desktop, in some form, somehow, somewhere -- but no | 01:58 |
| rsc1988 | sorry | 01:58 |
| avgbvg | mattx86: installing jaunty was a breeze for me, and nvidia works fine as long as you follow the "install proprietary drivers" hints after installation | 01:59 |
| avgbvg | by "fine" i mean 3D works well in compiz and such. | 01:59 |
| Gnea | xiong: try this command: obextool | 01:59 |
| ckwalsh | Well, looks like an update got interrupted | 02:00 |
| xiong | Gnea, i think that 'ready for file transfers' is a blind; i powered off the phone and it's unchanged | 02:00 |
| Polarina | After resuming from a suspend, how do I make it so it doesn't ask me for my password? | 02:00 |
| ckwalsh | which would definitely explain why GNOME is freaking out | 02:00 |
| tehwaffles | does 9.04 have issues with wubi? I've used older releases(non wubi) and have had great performance. This is incredibly laggy and has had virtually nothing changed since clean install | 02:00 |
| Gnea | tehwaffles: haven't tried the 9.04 wubi, the 8.04 and 8.10 always worked fine | 02:01 |
| xiong | Gnea, i started obextool from terminal but it popped up a gui window | 02:01 |
| mattx86 | well, I'm currently experimenting with opensuse and have run into a small bump in the road, but it's making me consider switching back to ubuntu | 02:01 |

| kabdotinfo | How do I get aMSN to work with Ubuntu 9.04? | 02:01 |

| tehwaffles | kabdotinfo: add an msn account in pidgin | 02:02 |
| xiong | Gnea, i'm not sure -- it displays a 'root' folder icon, but nothing in it | 02:02 |
| kabdotinfo | tehwaffles: I'm talking about aMSN. | 02:02 |
| ckwalsh | Gnea: Thanks, but it looks like completing the update fixed it | 02:02 |

| rohit | I want to install certain packages on a friends computer (namely sun-jdk6, povray, netbeans) but I am running on a ubuntu 64bit whereas my friends laptop is 32bit. is there anyway I can save all the needed packages for 32 bit ? | 02:04 |
| Gnea | xiong: that's the issue with this program - it takes awhile before it does something | 02:04 |
| Flannel | !offline | rohit | 02:04 |
| ubottu | rohit: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 02:04 |
| Romulus_ | "all y'all" is redundant as "y'all" implies pluralty . | 02:04 |
| avgbvg | wow, that's an impressive helpbot | 02:05 |
| Flannel | Romulus_: all y'all is the plural of y'all. As in, multiple groups of people. But, this is entirely offtopic. | 02:05 |
| Gnea | Romulus_: actually, "ya'll" is singular | 02:05 |
| kabdotinfo | There should be both "You is" and "You are". | 02:05 |
| avgbvg | oh, haha. i missed the command. :) | 02:05 |
| rohit | Flannel, well the laptop doesn't have an internet connection. And I was thinking of taking the package files, copying them to the cache dir of apt and installing | 02:06 |

| Gnea | Flannel: np, i tend to avoid that channel :) | 02:06 |
| Flannel | rohit: Right. That website should be able to do it. | 02:06 |
| xiong | Gnea, i just tried to upload a file; the upload failed due to a permissions error, which makes no sense -- the file is mine, in my home folder | 02:06 |
| Romulus_ | "ya'll" isn't a word. "Y'a'll" is accepted as being "you" and "all" contracted. | 02:06 |
| Romulus_ | :P | 02:06 |
| Gnea | Romulus_: stop. | 02:06 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Gnea: yeah I am starting to learn that | 02:06 |
| Flannel | rohit: I'm not sure if there's an easier way (maybe synaptic can do that download script for other arches? I don't know) | 02:07 |
| avgbvg | rohit- you can always grab the package files yourself from archive.ubuntu.com | 02:07 |

| linux | tty17: Hey! :) | 02:08 |
| rohit | avgbvg, but some of them have dependencies - will the dependencies also get saved ? | 02:08 |
| xiong | Gnea, that error message is funky -- i created a .png (copy of another file) and set the broadest possible permissions on it -- same failure | 02:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | rohit: no you will have to make note of the dependencies and download them aswell | 02:09 |
| xiong | Gnea, i think we're not really seeing the phone's filesystem, if that makes sense | 02:09 |
| cheeseman | how do you extract .exe files? | 02:09 |
| Flannel | rohit: No, but that last website will generate them for you. http://apt.alturl.com/ | 02:09 |

| cabrey | cheeseman, cabextract | 02:09 |
| Gnea | xiong: there's a way to get nautilus to see it, just can't remember how, and i can't locate my bt dongle | 02:09 |
| xiong | Gnea, in other words, i think the trouble may be that the phone won't allow an upload into it's filesystem root? | 02:09 |
| avgbvg | rohit- definitely not. i would try Flannel's suggestions first; this is a sort of last resort if you need to do it quick and dirty. | 02:09 |
| Oven1 | What does xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed mean? | 02:09 |
| rohit | Flannel, avgbvg Paddy_EIRE alright thanks I will give it a go | 02:09 |
| tty17 | I've just put the livecd versions of eeebuntu and ubuntu on seperate partitions on a usb drive, and I've configured grub to replace syslinux, but when I try and boot ubuntu (on the 2nd partition) it gives the ubuntu loading screen but boots eeebuntu, I think (but I'm nowhere near sure) it might be something to do with initrd.gz selecting the wrong kernel, can somebody help? | 02:10 |
| tty17 | sorry for loooong post | 02:10 |
| Gnea | xiong: no, you have to be able to browse to the root first | 02:10 |
| PsyCl0ne | could someone help me install wicd 1.6.0 please | 02:10 |
| xiong | Gnea, nautilus cd burner??? | 02:10 |
| === yeehaw is now known as bucky | ||
| Flannel | rohit: Another alternative (click-wise easier) is to boot a liveCD and use aptonCD to generate an iso | 02:10 |
| tty17 | PsyCl0ne: is it not in the repos? | 02:10 |
| Gnea | xiong: nooo, the file browser | 02:10 |
| PsyCl0ne | tty17: wicd is in the repos, but an older version | 02:10 |
| tty17 | ah k | 02:11 |
| tty17 | PsyCl0ne: is there a .deb on the website? | 02:11 |
| PsyCl0ne | tty17: no | 02:11 |
| icebreacker | galera...alguem sabe como posso fazer o sistema rodar quando da o erro pci: not using mmconfig!? | 02:11 |
| tty17 | hmm idk then | 02:11 |
| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, there is 1.5.9, do you really need 1.6? | 02:11 |
| icebreacker | nesse caso me refiro ao debian | 02:11 |
| tty17 | try the PPA? | 02:11 |
| mmm4m5m | Question please: is there a log file monitor? I have small script which show icon in notification area when log file is changed. Maybe there are much better utilities? | 02:11 |
| tty17 | !pt | 02:12 |
| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 02:12 |
| Gnea | !debian | icebreacker | 02:12 |
| ubottu | icebreacker: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 02:12 |
| xiong | Gnea, i'm intensely frustrated by this habit of calling things by one name in the gui menus and window title bars, but they're 'really' named something else -- can fix? | 02:12 |
| tty17 | !pt | icebreacker | 02:12 |
| ubottu | icebreacker: please see above | 02:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | xiong: there is nothing to fix | 02:12 |
| Gnea | xiong: reconfigure the menus to not show simple names | 02:12 |
| xiong | Gnea, you're telling me that the window on my desktop with the title bar 'pictures - file browser' is really nautilus? | 02:12 |
| xiong | ah! | 02:13 |
| Gnea | xiong: yes, it is. | 02:13 |
| Gnea | xiong: the same reason why browser windows in XP aren't labelled explorer.exe | 02:13 |
| rohit | Flannel, why boot from a live cd ? | 02:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | xiong: nautilus is the file manager | 02:13 |
| citizen42alpha | I know 'tis off topic, although whatever happened to the politics channel ? | 02:13 |
| lstarnes | citizen42alpha: it's ##politics | 02:13 |
| xiong | Gnea, i have a tech background, i'd rather see it all raw -- how to do? | 02:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | xiong: file browser rather | 02:13 |
| Gnea | citizen42alpha: #politics | 02:13 |
| Guthur | am i likely to encounter any problems switching from gnome to kde, is it wiser to do a clean install? | 02:13 |
| citizen42alpha | lstarnes: thanks. | 02:13 |
| Gnea | xiong: ... no idea | 02:14 |
| lstarnes | Gnea: #politics doesn't work anymore | 02:14 |
| Gnea | xiong: i have a tech background as well - sad, eh? | 02:14 |
| PsyCl0ne | cabrey: I would like to try the newer version. The NetworkManager that came with ubuntu randomly decided that it was not going to manage my wireless networks and I can not figure out how to set to back to manage wireless. Also with Wicd 1.5, it keeps bugging out and gets stuck at obtaining ip address. I just hope that 1.6 will have this issue sorted | 02:14 |
| cabrey | Guthur, you shouldn't, sudo apt-get install kde | 02:14 |
| xiong | Gnea, you said, reconfigure menus not to show simple names -- how to do? | 02:14 |
| Gnea | lstarnes: oh well | 02:14 |
| linux | tty17: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php - how to install | 02:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | lstarnes: its a nonsense channel which should not be mentioned in here.. thanks | 02:14 |
| lstarnes | Paddy_EIRE: he was just asking where it was | 02:14 |
| Gnea | xiong: iirc, it's under System->Preferences->Menus | 02:14 |
| rohit | Okay aptoncd saves the cached packages right ? | 02:15 |
| tty17 | linux: perhaps you should read the section entitled "Installing on Ubuntu" | 02:15 |
| Guthur | cabrey, thanks. so it should be easy even to give it a try | 02:15 |
| rohit | So can I install ubuntu 9.04 32 bit in a virtualbox and then install jdk,netbeans and povray and then use aptoncd ? | 02:15 |
| linux | tty17: I did - what's the problem? | 02:15 |
| cabrey | Guthur, yup, though it runs horribly on this computer :/ | 02:15 |
| tty17 | linux: nothing's the problem here | 02:16 |
| tty17 | apart from this sodding USB disk | 02:16 |
| xiong | Gnea, i'm at that now -- apparently, i could retype the 'real' name over the 'bogus menu' name, case by case | 02:16 |
| tty17 | but that has nothing to do with wicd | 02:16 |
| xiong | Gnea, no global pref for that, though | 02:16 |
| Guthur | cabrey, i assume switching back isn't a problem, if that turns out to be the case for me as well, is it the transparency thing (what i see in wiki) | 02:16 |
| linux | tty17: you're not trying to install the wifi manager wicd? | 02:16 |
| tty17 | linux: nope | 02:16 |
| PsyCl0ne | linux: thats me | 02:17 |
| linux | tty17: what "wicd" are you trying to install? | 02:17 |
| cabrey | Guthur, you can easily switch back and forth, it is in the "sessions" menu on the login screen | 02:17 |

| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, ok you can try what someone said before: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php | 02:17 |

| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, have you tried compiling from souce & checkinstall? | 02:19 |

| xiong | Gnea, am i really using the wrong distro? i appreciate being shielded from most of the ugly stuff but if i have to get in there, i'd like to know where i'm going | 02:20 |
| rohit | Flannel, I can install ubuntu 32 bit in a virtual box, install the packages and then save the cached package files right ? Because I don't want to burn a cd :D | 02:20 |

| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, ok we'll forego that route then. sudo apt-get install build-essential | 02:30 |

| Flannel | rohit: It'll work as far as installation goes, yes. I'm not sure if the packages will be seen coming from the internet (because there's some metafiles associated with it), but I suppose in his case, that's moot. | 02:31 |
| cheeseman | what is the best internet relay chat program for linux that uses scripts? | 02:31 |
| tty17 | icebreacker: perhaps try #ubuntu-br | 02:31 |
| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, ok. type cd Desktop | 02:31 |
| PsyCl0ne | cabrey: kk | 02:32 |
| rohit | Flannel, in an emergency I could just double click on the packages right ? APT should install them that way ? | 02:32 |
| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, then tar xzvf wicd-1.6.0.tar.gz | 02:32 |
| tty17 | icebreacker: #ubuntu-br é em português. (is that right :P ?) | 02:32 |

| sebsebseb | Lonesword: yeah or sudo aptitude install kde I guess | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | !info kde | 02:51 |
| ubottu | kde (source: meta-kde): the K Desktop Environment official modules. In component universe, is optional. Version 5:48ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB | 02:51 |
| marshall | and it still aint right in my book | 02:51 |
| Lonesword | sebsebseb: aptitude is better | 02:51 |
| Lonesword | sebsebseb: I'm gonna try that now | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | Lonesword: apparantly for bigger stuff yeah | 02:52 |
| cabrey | Lonesword, +1 for that | 02:52 |
| Flannel | No, aptitude isn't. That hasn't been an accurate statement for a few years now. | 02:52 |
| cabrey | Flannel, IMHO it handles unnecessary packages better | 02:52 |
| Lonesword | cabrey: yep...and it didn't work!!! | 02:52 |
| Lonesword | sebsebseb: it didn't worl | 02:53 |
| linux | marshall: Is PS3 a PowerPC architecture? | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | Lonesword: well normally I would just sudo aptitude kubuntu-desktop so I get the proper thing :) | 02:53 |
| cabrey | sebsebseb, that is everything tho even their boot splash | 02:53 |
| marshall | dont know yet | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | cabrey: yep, but this person dosan't really want Gnome anymore anyway | 02:54 |
| cabrey | linux, yes it is | 02:54 |
| marshall | still playin with it | 02:54 |
| Lonesword | sebsebseb: No kubuntu anyway...lot of things I don't need. I'm using synaptic to install kde-core now...let us see what will happen. | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | cabrey: also the bootsplash can be changed back to the Ubuntu one | 02:54 |
| linux | marshall: You just have a command line (black screen?) | 02:54 |
| marshall | its pretty fast thoug | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | Lonesword: yes I was thinking it might be called kde-core so you could get that with commands instead | 02:54 |
| Artemis3 | what about kubuntu-desktop ? | 02:54 |
| Lonesword | sebsebseb: When I download using synaptic, I get really low speeds. Is it the same there? | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | Lonesword: synaptic is just a GUI for apt | 02:55 |
| cheeseman | i cant get xchat to work | 02:55 |
| Lonesword | sebsebseb: Oh.......so both are essentially the same. | 02:55 |
| Revelation | Can someone help me get sound working on Ubuntu 9.0.4 64bit? I looked at help.ubuntu.com and cant find nothing. | 02:55 |
| linux | marshall: You need to modify the repos to get the powerPC repos | 02:55 |
| Gaurang | hii | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | Lonesword: pretty much I suppouse, but if you run aptitude in the terminal you get a nice little app there, that dosn't really need to be used. and aptitude is apparantly better with dealing with dependancies and such than apt-get even though some people might disagree | 02:56 |
| marshall | ok i just installed is lets see if it worked | 02:56 |
| Gaurang | hii everybody | 02:56 |
| Gaurang | i need one help | 02:56 |

| sebsebseb | Gaurang: a slightly later 32bit | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | Gaurang: that's the version of Ubuntu you have installed, but your hardware can maybe do 64bit | 03:01 |
| Gaurang | ok i try 32 bit | 03:02 |
| Gaurang | actually i was installing eclipse for 32 bit | 03:02 |

| Gaurang | its 32 bit then | 03:08 |
| padge | you might have to specify -t | 03:08 |

| padge | (to tell it what kind of filesystem) | 03:08 |
| Gaurang | Artemis3: sebsebseb: ubottu: thanks for help .. :) | 03:08 |

| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, yes | 03:13 |
| PsyCl0ne | Hi linux | 03:13 |
| padge | rob_p, Thanks. I'm a DOS kid, so is that like my per-user autoexec.bat? | 03:13 |
| linux | Revelation: Maybe try a search of the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org for ICH9 or try google. I haven't seen it solved just yet - but must be some workaround somewhere | 03:14 |
| Revelation | linux: ill look | 03:14 |
| linux | Revelation: Wish I had something better to tell you | 03:14 |
| rob_p | padge, not exactly but close enough. It basically set up things like your environment, etc. | 03:14 |

| PsyCl0ne | Cabrey: kk when I rebooted wicd was a mess, the gui loaded but it kept trying to create a passkey file or something, and no networks would show, so I uninstalled it fully from package manager rebooted and reinstalled it from the deb file | 03:15 |
| ceej | hey all, does anyone know why my menu bar would be here http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/15928/screenshot_013_L0aYv9.png and how I'd get it back to normal? | 03:15 |
| PsyCl0ne | so its working now | 03:15 |
| PsyCl0ne | but it just wont get an ipaddy from any of the networks | 03:15 |
| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, so you have the same problem? | 03:15 |
| PsyCl0ne | authentication is successful I just dont get an ip | 03:15 |
| PsyCl0ne | yea | 03:15 |
| PsyCl0ne | sorry cabrey: yea :( | 03:16 |
| cabrey | PsyCl0ne, /join #wicd and they can help you figure it out directly | 03:16 |
| linux | ceej: Does logging out and in change anything? | 03:16 |
| PsyCl0ne | Cabrey: thank you sooo much for you help and patience | 03:16 |
| ceej | nope...I figured it out, but it's weird it just moved | 03:16 |
| rohit | alright time to head out ... laters | 03:16 |
| cabrey | ceej, that happens sometimes when you use a different resolution | 03:16 |
| padge | rob_p, Cool. Thanks for the tip | 03:16 |
| cabrey | ceej, the panel doesnt resize correctly | 03:17 |
| cabrey | ceej, you can move the back Right click > Move | 03:17 |
| linux | cabrey: I know the icons on the menu bar can be locked, but can the menu bar itself? | 03:17 |
| ceej | cabrey: Thanks I figured that out :) I have 2 28" monitors iut moved when I hooked them up :P | 03:18 |
| cabrey | linux, not that i know of | 03:18 |
| ha1331_ | does anyone know for sure it's possible to have triple or quad displays on ubuntu? Planning to go and buy 2x gt9600 cards and third monitor. Would be nasty if I'dd get them for nothing. Just levelled my vista installation and not planning to go back to m$ products. Even reformatted my drives to ext to make sure of this | 03:18 |
| cabrey | ceej, yea stuff like that will do it for some reason don't know why | 03:18 |
| cabrey | ha1331, did you see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-342537.html | 03:19 |
| linux | what program does someone use for dual or triple display?/what other stuff - cables and such? | 03:20 |
| pwner | anyone know? | 03:20 |
| XCP | hi! I have an ATI HD 4850, and if I click (in the restricted drivers dialog) on "activate", nothing happens. any idea how to install the driver? | 03:20 |
| mashedpgravy | can anyone tell me how i can mount the optical drive/cd rom that was burnt using windows xp native cd burning utility? i keep getting a volume unmountable error message | 03:21 |
| pwner | XCP there are drivers on the ATI website for the HD4800 cards specifically. | 03:21 |
| XCP | pwner: so I shouldn't use the one that comes with ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| pwner | XCP I had to do the same thing with my 4830... good luck getting the sound to work through hdmi btw ;) | 03:22 |
| calmbola | any idea why stripes is not in the repositories? | 03:22 |
| calmbola | it's a framework for java | 03:22 |
| ha1331_ | linux: I just like the idea of having things on their own displays. Get to the information / application just by turning my head. I'm aware that one can use virtual desktops(if thats what they are called). I'm thinking it's matter of what one get's used to. | 03:22 |
| pwner | XCP no, you should use the drivers from the website. | 03:23 |
| ha1331_ | usually have some movie etc running on one display, something semi productive on the other and then browsers and such. | 03:23 |
| XCP | pwner: oh I see... have you had any problems with the drivers & xorg memory usage? in my last ubuntu install, xorg was a memory hog due to a faulty driver. I hope this is fixed. | 03:23 |
| halberd | how do I get the dump command on ubuntu? | 03:24 |
| halberd | odd that it doesn't have it | 03:24 |
| pwner | XCP aside from getting the damn sound to work, I've had no porblems at all. | 03:24 |
| Guthur | XCP do not use the x-org driver with the 4850 it did bad things to my computer :) | 03:24 |
| XCP | Guthur: which should I use instead then? | 03:24 |
| cabrey | jwm1, have you tried to format it? | 03:25 |
| Guthur | xcp like others said, use the ones from ATI website | 03:25 |
| jwm1 | cabrey: I tried to make a partition table | 03:25 |
| halberd | how do you back stuff up on ubuntu if you don't use dump | 03:25 |
| XCP | Guthur: oh... by xorg driver you mean the one that comes with ubuntu? | 03:25 |
| cabrey | !backup | halberd | 03:25 |
| ubottu | halberd: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:25 |
| pwner | Hi, I'm running Ubuntui version 9.04, and I'm trying to install Dropbox, but when I go to this page "https://www.getdropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx" both download links tell me that it's the wrong architecture. Why is this? | 03:25 |
| Guthur | xcp ya sorry maybe i missed something | 03:25 |
| XCP | Guthur: when you used the Ubuntu driver, have you had any problems with xorg memory usage? | 03:26 |
| jwm1 | cabre: the format option is greyed out | 03:26 |
| Guthur | XCP i had problems getting ubuntu to boot again, i had video corruption and couldn't get into the OS at all, had to reinstall in the end | 03:26 |
| XCP | oh | 03:26 |
| XCP | sorry to hear that | 03:26 |
| jwm1 | cabrey? | 03:27 |
| jwm1 | cabrey? | 03:27 |
| Guthur | XCP nah it wasn't that bad i had only installed it anyway, no lose or anything, just a bit of a waste of time :) | 03:27 |
| cabrey | jwm1, ok what happens? | 03:27 |
| Guthur | XCP but the official ATI driver works fine | 03:27 |
| linux | marshall: Did you get your questions answered? Just curious | 03:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | hi, does anyone here have an idea for why an sd card wouldn't be mounted automatically at boot? It does it *sometimes* but no on others. Recently, I just added a hack to rc.local (mount /dev/sdb1) but I don't know how consistently it works yet. | 03:28 |
| marshall | no | 03:28 |
| Shirakawasuna | my guess was that it's an sdcard and some module wasn't loaded at the time it would normally attempt to mount | 03:28 |
| marshall | still no youtube 4 me | 03:28 |
| linux | marshall: Bummer! | 03:28 |
| XCP | Guthur: glad to hear that... I just downloaded it and ran the .run file... do I have to do anything else after that or does the .run file everything for me? | 03:28 |
| linux | marshall: if PS3 is PPC architecture, flash is not very well supported, better off downloading the videos you want to watch | 03:29 |
| Guthur | XCP i think thats all i did, just ran it with sudo, and it was good to go :) | 03:29 |
| ethiotech | how can I setup file sharing between two ubuntu systems.. I am not share how to use samba server? | 03:29 |
| marshall | im gonna try to install yellow dog to my ps3 maybe that will work | 03:29 |
| XCP | Guthur: wish me luck, I gonna restart now :) | 03:30 |
| Guthur | XCP I'm running x64 though, which might have been my initial problem | 03:30 |
| linux | marshall: did you look at psbuntu.org? | 03:30 |
| XCP | me too, Guthur | 03:30 |
| linux | marshall: Still won't have flash | 03:30 |
| halberd | okay so that page says you just use tar and dd | 03:30 |
| marshall | no nise thinkin though | 03:30 |
| cabrey | marshall, what is the problem? | 03:30 |
| linux | marshall: with yellow dog | 03:30 |
| Guthur | XCP well then definitely stick with the official, hope it works as well for you :) | 03:30 |
| XCP | thanks :) | 03:30 |
| XCP | bbl | 03:30 |

| marshall | im using my ps3 to run this | 03:31 |
| cabrey | marshall, and have you tried gnash/swfdec? | 03:31 |
| halberd | well I guess apt-get install dump works | 03:31 |
| halberd | but why isn't it in by default | 03:31 |
| halberd | is there some reason | 03:31 |
| linux | mashedpgravy: Do you have more than one optical drive? | 03:31 |
| marshall | yea all of them | 03:31 |

| cabrey | marshall, check out the totem youtube plugin | 03:33 |
| marshall | ? | 03:33 |
| linux | marshall: You using firefox on the PS3? | 03:33 |
| ethiotech | pik}: I am so dumb.. I can't even install samba :) | 03:33 |
| marshall | ok hold up | 03:33 |
| coreyman | Could not initialize class java.awt.Toolkit when i try to install flex. what's up with that. | 03:33 |
| mashedpgravy | linux: no i do not | 03:33 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | I've got a problem, I wish to install something but when i type the comand in terminal, it says "Access Denied"... how can i install it? | 03:33 |
| linux | marshall: I was going to suggest a firefox plugin, but you need to find one for the browser you are using or use Clive on the command line. | 03:34 |
| cabrey | Um_cara_qualquer, !sudo | 03:34 |
| cabrey | !sudo | 03:34 |
| 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) | 03:34 |
| mashedpgravy | Um_cara_qualquer use sudo | 03:34 |
| pik} | ethiotech: no worrys. it's really simple. go to the add/remove. you can find it in the applications menu | 03:34 |
| Lonesword | marshall: There's a site which converts the video and then let you download it....just give'em the URL. I haven't tried it yet, and I forgot the link. I searched google for "how to download youtube videos in linux" or something. I had bookmarked it, but lost it when I formatted my computer | 03:34 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | blz | 03:34 |
| cabrey | marshall, there is a youtube plugin for totem so you dont have to screw with all that youtube download bullsh** | 03:35 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | same thing, access denied =/ | 03:35 |
| marshall | just got the plugin lets see | 03:36 |
| marshall | if it works | 03:36 |
| Lonesword | can't log in to KDE. I installed kde using synaptic.....the "kde-core" package...system hangs when trying to log in to kde and then shows the login screen again. | 03:36 |
| Lonesword | Gnome works fine | 03:36 |
| linux | mashedpgravy: did you say you wanted to mount if from command line? | 03:36 |
| ethiotech | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 03:37 |
| ethiotech | samba: Depends: libcupsys2 (>= 1.3.4) | 03:37 |

| FloodBot2 | ethiotech: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:37 |
| ethiotech | sorry | 03:37 |
| linux | mashedpgravy: Try the dir /media | 03:37 |
| mashedpgravy | linux: no, i just popped in the disc and i got a message that said the volume is unmountable, i dont do anything fromt he command line unless i have to | 03:37 |

| pik} | zeroprog: yes | 03:38 |

| zeroprog | pik: yes but on joining the server | 03:39 |
| sam555 | i'm about to install 9.04 and I wondered how much of a 125 gb hdd should I put the swap partition? | 03:39 |
| cabrey | sam555, how much ram do you have? | 03:39 |
| Guthur | XCP you can go to terminal and type - aticonfig --list-adapters | 03:39 |
| sam555 | 2gb ram Cabrey | 03:40 |
| mashedpgravy | sam55, i have 2 gigs of ram so i set mine to 8gb | 03:40 |
| mashedpgravy | guessing out of the blue | 03:40 |
| cabrey | sam555, 1gb should be good | 03:40 |
| coreyman | Why do you guys use swap? | 03:40 |
| linux | mashedpgravy: I think you need to check your fstab - I'm not very good with that | 03:40 |
| cabrey | mashedpgravy, that. is. over. kill. | 03:40 |
| shleep | could anyone walk me through how to get rosetta stone to work on 8.10? | 03:40 |
| mashedpgravy | like i said, guessed out of the blue | 03:40 |
| coreyman | I have 2gb ram and no swap, my system runs fine. | 03:40 |
| linux | sam555: Two times ram is good rule of thumb | 03:40 |
| Guthur | XCP ignore that first - its confusing, just ~$ aticonfig --list-adapters | 03:40 |
| cabrey | sam555, what do you plan on using your system for? | 03:40 |
| zeroprog | is that language teaching thing? | 03:40 |
| shleep | yes | 03:40 |

| warrie | So, I'm running Ubuntu, and there's no sound. | 03:41 |
| cabrey | !sound | 03:41 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 03:41 |

| shiznebit | hi how do I identify what Wireless Channels are currently being used around me ? | 03:41 |
| sam555 | cabrey: 1/2 vista 1/2 ubuntu | 03:41 |
| marshall | it may be cause im on a ps3 | 03:42 |
| cabrey | linux, if you think about it more ram = less likely to use swap | 03:42 |
| cabrey | sam555, that shouldnt really matter | 03:42 |
| cabrey | sam555, swap isnt shared between vista and ubuntu | 03:42 |
| rob_p | coreyman, That's fine as long as you don't exhaust your RAM. As soon as you do, the system will start killing off processes... not a very pleasant thing. Swap allows you to accidentally 'bump' the RAM limit with some degree of grace! | 03:42 |
| sam555 | it's 250gb drive and 1/2 I'm giving to each os | 03:42 |
| cabrey | sam555, ahh got ya | 03:42 |

| linux | shiznebit: sudo iwlist scan | 03:42 |
| sam555 | 125 gb for ubuntu=4gb swap, but I want to partition a home and a root. How much should I give to root? | 03:42 |
| mashedpgravy | oh guess what, i just looked, i made my swap 4gb, not 8gb, so its double my ram, so ill leave it i guess | 03:43 |
| coreyman | rob_p thanks | 03:43 |
| LosFrijoles | hey does anyone know why unr's launcher is so slow after switching users? | 03:43 |

| linux | shiznebit: your welcome :) | 03:43 |

| ha1331_ | cabrey: hehe, usually just one non-hd thing at a time | 03:44 |
| losher | !swap | 03:44 |
| 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 | 03:45 |

| The_Frustrated | LosFrijoles, nope, nothing. Acts as if there isn't a keypress. It is a USB keyboard so i'm wondering if it just isn't registering the keypress at all. But that doesn't make sense, since I can bring up BIOS menu from the start. | 03:59 |

| lancerocke | cabrey, not yet. just thought id go for a liux picasa equivalent instead | 04:08 |
| ha1331_ | LosFrijoles: other thing that might be, if he tries to press the F3 to choose the keyboard layout on the first screen, that is used to select the lanquage. One actually needs to select the lanquage before being able to do anything else. Might be retard problem, but have seen this happen also. | 04:08 |
| sam555 | LosFrijoles: gotcha1 | 04:08 |
| linux | zaniel_: if it is Brasero - last button on the left side, bottom | 04:08 |
| LosFrijoles | sam555: i had to do something like that when i upgraded from 6 to 8.04 | 04:08 |
| lancerocke | cabrey, gnome though | 04:08 |
| cabrey | lancerocke, you can try f-spot but imho it is not as good as picasa | 04:08 |

| lancerocke | thanks | 04:09 |
| sam555 | Scunizi: ok thanks | 04:09 |
| Scunizi | sam555: if you do it the other way around then you have to reinstall Grub.. and for someone new that can be a pain. | 04:09 |
| ha1331_ | sam555: not sure about this, but there might be issues on vista if grub is present, because grub is used on pirated windowses to make the machine appear DELL or HP | 04:10 |

| Scunizi | sam555: np :) | 04:44 |
| rob_p | Rick316, huge | 04:44 |
| losher | Rick316: I don't think there's much to it. Something like sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Check google for the exact wording... | 04:44 |
| Revelation | hey im new to linux and just installed ubuntu 9.0.4 64bit today. | 04:45 |
| Revelation | how do I get flash? | 04:45 |
| cryptide | Revelation: congratulations | 04:45 |
| darlek | !flash | 04:45 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 04:45 |

| Revelation | thanks usser | 04:45 |
| Rick316 | thank you | 04:45 |
| rob_p | Rick316, Why waste cpu cycles and RAM to support a full UI when the purpose of a server is to serve up data? | 04:46 |
| Derander | losher: I found that parameter. It seems as though Banner is in addition to the default message. | 04:46 |
| losher | Derander: see also PrintMotd parameter | 04:46 |
| Revelation | usser: would you know how to get sound working on my laptop? my sound stoped working after I installed ubuntu 9.0.4 64bit | 04:46 |
| Rick316 | like i said still getting my feet wet with this server. Coming from a Windows world and not really comfortable with the text based linux yet. | 04:46 |
| losher | Derander: motd = message of the day | 04:46 |
| Derander | losher: yes | 04:46 |
| Rick316 | again thank you | 04:47 |
| Derander | losher: aha, there we go. | 04:47 |
| rob_p | Rick316, It sounds to me like you want a desktop with some server capabilities. In that case, simply install the desktop edition and then bring in the server apps you want to play with. | 04:47 |
| rance | Hey gang, I need some help with xorg configuration, I have vision trouble and I need to specify resolutions in my xorg.conf so that the various parts of ubuntu arent too hard to see, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg no longer asks for resolutions, what do I need to do? | 04:47 |
| rob_p | Rick316, welcome! good luck. | 04:47 |
| Derander | losher: thanks | 04:47 |
| darthanubis | !blind | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about blind | 04:47 |
| usser | Revelation, there can be a multitude of reasons why sound doesnt work. im not very good with sound anyway it kinda always worked for me. what does it say when you run alsamixer on the terminal? | 04:47 |
| losher | Rick316: much easier to start with the desktop. You can always remove it later... | 04:47 |

| Schmick_ | Hi, a friend just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 (against my advice) and his box is very slugish now. He wants to go back to 8.10, but I havn't seen a "system downgrade" option anywhere. Is a fresh install the only option? | 04:56 |
| jumbojack | yes we can | 04:56 |
| raj | can someone please tell me? | 04:56 |
| jumbojack | :) | 04:57 |
| losher | ixpl: Ah, now that's more interesting. Exactly what kind of errors? | 04:57 |
| Audacioustrash | Hello everyone | 04:57 |
| Scunizi | Schmick_: yep.. hopefully he has a seperate /home | 04:57 |
| ixpl | hold on i will have them | 04:57 |
| === Bleubeard is now known as Bleubeard|away | ||
| losher | Schmick_: 'afraid so. He was supposed to have backup up 8.10 before upgrading... | 04:57 |
| darlek | raj, how is what you want different that alt+tab? | 04:57 |
| darlek | than | 04:57 |
| andrei__ | hello every one | 04:57 |
| raj | a shortcut to bring up skype | 04:58 |
| Schmick_ | Scunizi: I can backup his /home, no problem with that, but, is there or not an sys downgrade option? (got 2 opposite answers here) | 04:58 |
| raj | "skype" would just run a new instance of itself if the command in terminal was just skype | 04:58 |
| andrei__ | does any one know how to make a backup of ubuntu | 04:58 |
| andrei__ | ? | 04:58 |
| Scunizi | Schmick_: nothing that doesn't involve deep insight into the system.. | 04:59 |
| GleepGlop | i have a fresh install that is randomly freezing | 04:59 |
| losher | !backup | 04:59 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 04:59 |
| Schmick_ | Scunizi: Perfect, then backup, kill and reinstall. Thx! | 04:59 |
| darlek | raj, if I run skype it's a GUI program. If I use alt+tab, I can tab around to all running programs. I don't follow the question | 04:59 |
| GleepGlop | The cursor moves real slow then . . .. freeze | 04:59 |
| soreau | GleepGlop: What does it say in Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects? | 04:59 |
| losher | Schmick_: there is no downgrade option afaik.... | 05:00 |
| raj | darlek, i only want one keyboard shortcut to open skype, whether 1 window is conjointly open or 30 | 05:00 |
| GleepGlop | soreau: im not using compiz | 05:00 |
| uskrewed | Hulo all, I've tried to gain ownership of a folder using sudo chown username /media/1500 | 05:00 |
| soreau | GleepGlop: Can you see any mesg in the kernel log? | 05:00 |
| uskrewed | it seems to go through just fine in terminal but when I check o nproperties of the folder it hasn't been changed | 05:00 |
| uskrewed | I then tried sudo chown -R user:group /media/1500 and that didn't work either | 05:01 |
| GleepGlop | soreau: i've been checking dmesg to no avail | 05:01 |
| losher | uskrewed: what kind of filesystem is it? | 05:02 |
| uskrewed | ntfs | 05:02 |
| uskrewed | haha. I just realized that was my problem | 05:02 |
| losher | uskrewed: I'm not sure permissions work the same way in ntfs... | 05:02 |
| soreau | GleepGlop: What devices does dmesg report? nothing suspicious? What about ~/.xsession-errors? | 05:02 |
| uskrewed | they don't, I wasn't thinking | 05:02 |
| uskrewed | thank you anyway | 05:02 |
| uskrewed | I'll go google it >> | 05:02 |

| soreau | GleepGlop: Anything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or, Xorg.1.log | 05:05 |

| uskrewed | there's a space in the fiolder name and I can't access it in terminal | 05:07 |
| uskrewed | even using %20 instead of a space | 05:07 |
| uskrewed | is there any other way to access it in terminal? | 05:07 |
| losher | uskrewed: use quotes around the name e.g. ls -l 'this name' | 05:08 |
| usser | uskrewed, cd folder\ name | 05:08 |
| Flannel | uskrewed: You need to escape te space with \. Or tab complete will do it for you | 05:08 |
| GleepGlop | soreau: I'm sure it's related to the realtime preemption and nvidia drivers. yet it freezes so fast nothing gets logged :/ | 05:08 |
| Flannel | uskrewed: just type a few letters and hit tab, and it'll autocomplete (assuming its not ambiguous) | 05:08 |
| soreau | GleepGlop: nVidia drivers have been known to cause strange problems indeed | 05:08 |
| uskrewed | tab thing worked, thanks | 05:08 |
| krammer | trying to play a video but getting a a square with a black back ground | 05:09 |
| GleepGlop | soreau: i have arch linux and nvidia drivers (188) on the same machine and have never had any lockups | 05:09 |
| losher | uskrewed: all the suggestions should work, tab completion, backslash, quotes... | 05:09 |
| soreau | GleepGlop: Probably why it's a ubuntu bug | 05:09 |
| GleepGlop | soreau: good time to change distros | 05:10 |

If that matters. | 05:10 |
| GleepGlop | soreau: well, i can fork out any more $$$ I already have an nvidia 9800 gts | 05:11 |

| ubottu | Mister: 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? | 05:13 |
| Randabis | ok...is there a backup tool for linux that doesn't suck? :) I want one that is smart enough to know that my backup (40 gig) is going to need to use more than one dvd | 05:13 |
| Mister | Ah. | 05:13 |
| losher | krammer: one thing at a time. You still haven't said what kind of file you're trying to play | 05:13 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Mister: I have experience with that particular model.. what is your question? | 05:13 |
| krammer | yes | 05:13 |
| Mister | It's about the wifi button. | 05:14 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah | 05:14 |

| Mister | Is there some sort of terminal command that could enable it? | 05:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Mister: have you checked your bios to make sure it is enabled? | 05:15 |
| Randabis | Mister: what wireless hardware do you have? | 05:15 |
| taylor | How do you completely format your hdd in ubuntu without an xp cd | 05:15 |
| krammer | mista are using a laptop? | 05:15 |

| uskrewed | have you checked your network connections? | 05:16 |
| uskrewed | its at the top next to your date/time | 05:16 |
| Randabis | Mister: your hardware might not be supported "out of the box". What wireless hardware is in the laptop? | 05:16 |

| Randabis | does anyone have a suggestion for a good backup utility? I specifically need the ability to use multiple disks...my backup is gonna take like 10 dvds | 05:19 |

| darlek | !tab | 05:22 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 05:22 |
| Randabis | knowing which hardware your laptop uses will allow me to better assist you in getting your wifi setup and working | 05:22 |

| darlek | !who | 05:23 |

| whatvn | jsp: you must know name of your wc | 05:23 |
| jcp | whatvn: you mean jcp? | 05:23 |
| whatvn | jcp: yes, sorry | 05:23 |
| jcp | and how do I find that out. lsusb didn't print anything about a webcam in the output | 05:23 |
| jcp | heh, np | 05:23 |
| losher | Randabis: I've heard people recommend backuppc and mondo. Disclaimer: I've never used either... | 05:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | jcp: if you are currently using the Vaio could you open a terminal and type "lspci" without the quotes then press enter, once done copy the output and paste it to pastebin | 05:24 |
| jcp | ok | 05:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !paste | jcp | 05:24 |
| * jcp goes to do that | 05:24 | |
| ubottu | jcp: 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 | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 05:24 |

| rohit | frybye, what do you want to do ? I mean what settings does Session supposed to have - maybe it has been renamed | 05:50 |
| losher | Trentor_: http://example.com/images doesn't exist. Try it on a site with some images. and use -P/tmp/foo instead so you don't trample on any /tmp files | 05:50 |

| lstarnes | frybye: and man 5 crontab | 05:55 |
| losher | frybye: rohit: oh. I thought it was a one time per boot thing, in which case it can go in /etc/rc.local | 05:55 |
| frybye | Istarnes - it should run for any account | 05:55 |

| rob_p | Trentor_, wget's syntax can get hairy. I always have to comb through the man page every time I need to use it for anything more trivial than just, "wget http://example.com/somefile" | 05:56 |
| lstarnes | frybye: but for all users? | 05:56 |
| losher | frybye: then put in in /etc/rc.local... | 05:56 |
| frybye | all users - yeah... | 05:56 |
| frybye | ok thanks folks... | 05:56 |
| rob_p | Trentor_, *less trivial* :-) | 05:56 |
| rohit | oh sorry my bad :D | 05:56 |
| lstarnes | frybye: as root, the ~ would expand to /root in that comamnd since rc.local runs as root | 05:56 |
| rob_p | Trentor_, Anyway, good luck. Hope you figure it out. | 05:56 |
| lstarnes | frybye: is there any place where that config file can be stored where all users will be able to use it? | 05:57 |
| frybye | in what form do I put it there?? I need to make a script out of the command - ie put in a text editor and save with a namd <which one?> *.sh or | 05:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | BitPlacebo: "Plug and Play" can be misguiding.. it does not mean that everything will work by magic.. please provide more information, like the TV Tuner card model in question for a start thank you :) | 05:57 |

| nb72 | frybye, if I understand correctly, /etc/rc.local is basically a script that gets run each boot. putting the command in that file is like putting in a script. | 05:58 |

| Paddy_EIRE | BitPlacebo: could you open a terminal and type "lspci" without quotes and pastebin the output. | 05:59 |

| frybye | nb72 ok i have it now - i some how thought that rc.local was a directory.. fine I have it.. | 05:59 |

| frybye | losher: every time the pc starts - is just to get the resoloution setting right - | 05:59 |
| BitPlacebo | k, thanks! | 06:00 |
| frybye | instruction I found said to put in in this System|Einstellungen|Sitzung section - but I dont find that here - in eng. system/settings/session or similar - dosent seem to exist in 9.04 | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | frybye: replace the --config=~/.nvidia-settings-rc with --config=/home/USER/.nvidia-settings-rc in that command (replace USER with your username) | 06:01 |
| losher | frybye: then you can safely place the line in /etc/rc.local, creating the file if necessary. You may want to expand the "~" explicitly so there are no surprises at run time. | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | frybye: otherwise it will set the config for root, not your user | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | frybye: since that config has to be a per-user thing, it might be better to add it to your personal crontab | 06:02 |

| frybye | losher: if a session runs ok it will only have to start xserver once normally or... then wont make much difference or...? | 06:08 |
| losher | frybye: yes, you just create /etc/rc.local | 06:08 |
| lstarnes | frybye: it should already exist as /etc/rc.local | 06:09 |
| losher | frybye: there may be some timing issues. /etc/rc.local runs before any user logs in. The worst that can happen is that the resolution won't be set properly, so its ok to try thiis | 06:10 |
| losher | frybye: yes, you just create /etc/rc.local if it doesn't already exist | 06:10 |

| silv3r_m00n | its connected to an adsl router | 06:27 |
| Mkop | mib_9d9bl9: Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you a command line login so you can at least do something to fix it | 06:27 |
| mib_9d9bl9 | WIGGMPk: I did that. And nothing happend. Eventually, I aws able to get to something...But, it was just a dialog box saying something about "start ubuntu in graphcis mode" and it didn't work. | 06:28 |
| WIGGMPk | mib_9d9bl9: after that, if it doesnt automatically bring up a login.. you have to do this.. "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" than after that.. "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" | 06:28 |
| mib_9d9bl9 | I think I may need nVidia drivers...I don't have them. | 06:28 |
| WIGGMPk | mib_9d9bl9: ok 1 sec.. | 06:28 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: please confirm, your eth0 is statically configured and you aren't running dhcpclient? | 06:28 |
| matrixblue | when ubuntu doesn't recognize a wireless card at all (not listing it in lspci or lshw) what does that mean? | 06:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | YES | 06:29 |
| WIGGMPk | mib_9d9bl9: are you comfortable with text editing from the command line? | 06:29 |
| sparr | matrixblue: if lspci doesn't list it then you're really screwed, that doesn't even require a driver | 06:29 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: then I can't imagine who rewrote your /etc/resolv.conf either. What is the date on that file? | 06:29 |
| WIGGMPk | mib_9d9bl9: I apologize, it should be "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 06:29 |
| sparr | losher: sorry to interject, completely unrelated to silv3r_m00n's problem... do you know how I can keep NetworkManager from overwriting my custom /etc/resolv.conf every time I connect to a wireless network? | 06:30 |
| matrixblue | sparr, thanks................ | 06:30 |
| mib_9d9bl9 | WIGGMPk: I can do ok I guess. | 06:30 |
| mib_9d9bl9 | Can we please PM? This i sSOOO confusing out here. | 06:30 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, Is it a USB device? | 06:30 |
| losher | sparr: change the permissions on the file so it can't be written by anyone? | 06:30 |
| matrixblue | rob_p, no it's built in | 06:31 |
| WIGGMPk | mib_9d9bl9: ok well.. run this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and than "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" (if nothing happens) | 06:31 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, ok | 06:31 |
| tomtommy | why does Wine cause the fan to go berserk? | 06:31 |
| sparr | losher: NM is running as root, so I don't know if that would work, but I will try. easy answers are the best, thanks :) | 06:31 |
| jfreekao | Hi, I'm trying to install Cinelerra, but it's being rather difficult. I've tried using wget, but it just downloads something to keyring. If someone could point me to a guide that will tell me step by step, or better yet, tell me themselves how to install Cinelerra, I would greatly appreciate it. | 06:31 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, It should show up on the pci buss then. Does it work under Windows? | 06:32 |
| matrixblue | rob_p, yeah | 06:32 |
| losher | sparr: Try google next. It's gotta be a fairly common issue... | 06:32 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, Then it almost *has* to show up with lspci -v | 06:32 |
| max_ | I just got a new computer, it has a dual core amd processor (the sticker on the laptop says X2) so i'm assuming i need the bit version of ubuntu. So i downloaded that and out it on a disk. But when i put the cd in and booted up to it and tried to install ubuntu, it wouldnt ever load. It just got stuck at a black screen with a cursor in the top left. I thought maybe it just had burned a bad cd, so i downloaded another iso and burnned it to anothe | 06:32 |
| max_ | and it did the same thing. So i put in a normal 386 disk, and it installed, but its running extremely slowly. Does anyone know why it would do this? | 06:32 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: still there? | 06:33 |
| sparr | losher: common issue doesn't mean there's a common fix :( my NIC has had the nvidia random MAC bug for like 3 years now and no one seems interested in fixing it in the kernel :( | 06:33 |
| loof | Question: i've mounted an smb share (an external nas box) via the browse network window in gnome in ubuntu 9.04, and i doubleclicked the device, it added a folder on my desktop and i can browse the content on my nas device, that's all working perfectly. HOWEVER, HOW do i access that mounted device (it says mounted when i rightclick on the icon/link on the gnome desktop) | 06:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | losher: yeah | 06:34 |

| k4r1m | what is the p2p client for ubuntu running gnome? | 06:34 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: I was wondering what the timestamp on your /etc/resolv.conf was? | 06:34 |

If someone could point me to a guide that will tell me step by step, or better yet, tell me themselves how to install Cinelerra, I would greatly appreciate it. | 06:35 |
| silv3r_m00n | losher: I changed it again | 06:35 |
| silv3r_m00n | how can I get the timestamp | 06:35 |
| matrixblue | rob_p, it's a thinkpad t41 | 06:35 |
| loof | basically the device is mounted, but there's no corresponding entry in /mnt ??? | 06:35 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, First time I've ever seen that then. Congrats! :-) | 06:35 |
| matrixblue | rob_p, same here lol | 06:36 |
| xFlux | losher: if any idiot comes in looking for a gratuitous ip packet, tell them to use arping -c 1 -U <IP> ....it looks like arping can send the MAC address takeover with -U | 06:36 |

| tomtommy | how do I install Mail Notification 5.4 on Ubuntu? | 06:36 |
| sparr | losher: This one could be "fixed" with just two lines of code... not a fix the kernel devs would be happy with though | 06:36 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: bummer. If we knew the change date we could have looked in the logs to see what was happening around that time. ls -l /etc/resolv.conf | 06:36 |
| sparr | losher: and it's not QUITE worth the trouble of maintaining my own kernel builds to fix it myself | 06:36 |
| silv3r_m00n | hold on | 06:36 |
| losher | xFlux: good to know. Doesn't come up often though... | 06:37 |
| Adola | WIGGMPk: | 06:37 |
| losher | sparr: :-) | 06:37 |
| sparr | I am just stuck using wireless | 06:37 |

| k4r1m | how about frostwire? i can't seem to get it work keep getting launch errors... | 06:37 |
| sparr | with my computer 3 feet from the router, that seems like a waste | 06:37 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, You don't suppose they did something stupid like hang it on the USB bus via an internal header or something? lsusb -v (I don't hold much hope for that.) | 06:38 |

| silv3r_m00n | losher: can we try to search the log with resolv.conf text | 06:38 |
| silv3r_m00n | ? | 06:38 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: yep, no way to know when the change before that was.... | 06:38 |
| tomtommy | how do I install Mail Notification 5.4 on Ubuntu? | 06:39 |
| brummbaer | random question: nmapped myself, came up w/ a reasonably sane list of open ports, but there's a super strange one that's tripping me out port 31337 reg to "Elite" (you can see why i'm suspicious...) anyways, everything online says it has to do w/ some kind of backdoor trojan access and some exploitation app developed by the cult of the dead cow called, appropriately enough "Back Orifice"... only thing else i can gather is it may be | 06:39 |
| brummbaer | related to psyBNC? anyways, any help here'd be great, it'd go a long way toward solving to know does this come as part of Ubuntu or has something else opened the port? | 06:39 |

| frankS2 | jthomas: or really | 06:41 |
| brummbaer | rob, just says "Elite" | 06:41 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: you can type dmesg and look thru that output, but it might not be obvious what's going on. You could pastebin the output so we can all look at it if you want. Btw: I did a quick google, if there's an epidemic of something changing resolv.conf, no-one's talking about it | 06:41 |
| jthomas | i just realized that i left an option on that requires somebody on office end to verify a remote desktop request | 06:41 |

| silv3r_m00n | losher:I checked too | 06:41 |
| jthomas | frankS2: yeah, i can get in via ssh | 06:41 |
| loof | jthomas if you're using a router or firewall you need to port forward the ports for remote desktop | 06:41 |

| frankS2 | jthomas: then why do you need remote desktop | 06:42 |
| frankS2 | when you can SSH | 06:42 |
| rob_p | brummbaer, do, "sudo netstat -tlpn | grep 31337" and it should list the process id and program name | 06:42 |
| Randabis | hmm... | 06:42 |
| jthomas | frankS2: gotta use intellij | 06:42 |
| jthomas | frankS2: vi's subpar | 06:42 |
| frankS2 | jthomas: i see | 06:42 |
| frankS2 | jthomas: ssh -X ;) | 06:42 |
| jthomas | frankS2: haha, already tried that | 06:43 |
| jthomas | proxy server doesn't have X | 06:43 |
| jthomas | installed | 06:43 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, Yeah, I don't see it either. | 06:43 |
| geirha | jthomas: Proxy server? The client you ssh in from, does that have an X11 server? | 06:44 |
| Mkop | the proxy server needs to have X? what does it care? it's SSH - how does it even know what's in the packets it's transmitting? | 06:44 |
| matrixblue | rob_p, lsusb -v http://paste.ubuntu.com/191380/ | 06:44 |
| jthomas | yep, so it's client --> proxy server (subnet mask) --> my machine | 06:44 |
| jthomas | my machine and client have X | 06:44 |
| jthomas | proxy doesn't | 06:44 |
| PsyCl0ne | Cabrey: you still here bro? | 06:45 |
| Mkop | you ssh to the proxy server? | 06:45 |
| loof | jthomas:: i think i found it: To disable SECURITY option (Ask you for confirmation), use this command: | 06:45 |
| loof | gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/prompt_enabled false | 06:45 |
| jthomas | Mkop: exactly | 06:45 |
| brummbaer | haha, oh man. good call rob_p... i had just been running "sudo nmap -sS -O <target>"... anyways, it comes back as portsentry, which is cool with me, just installed it the other night, which also explains why that port was unrecognized.. | 06:45 |
| rob_p | matrixblue, Yeah, not there either. Bummer dude! | 06:45 |
| jthomas | loof: awesome, i'll try it right now | 06:45 |
| Mkop | jthomas: don't. set up an ssh tunnel | 06:45 |
| Mkop | I think that should fix it | 06:45 |
| jthomas | Mkop: how? | 06:45 |
| Mkop | not sure though | 06:45 |
| Mkop | 06:45 | |

| loof | http://www.samlesher.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-704-enabledisable-remote-desktop-from-the-command-line that was the site i found that on | 06:45 |

| jjbin | hi all could I look for the files of windows directory in terminal | 06:46 |
| geirha | jthomas: But new from 8.10, you need to set the env variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS | 06:47 |
| max_ | oobe: Would installing a 32 bit version on a computer made for 64 make performance exceptionally slow? (like im experiancing now) | 06:47 |

| max_ | I just got a new computer, it has a dual core amd processor (the sticker on the laptop says X2) so i'm assuming i need the bit version of kubuntu. So i downloaded that and out it on a disk.

| geirha | jthomas: Haven't found any easy way of doing it. I usually just look at nautilus' env. cat /proc/`pidof -s nautilus`/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ^DBUS_SESSION | 06:49 |
| losher | loof: something like: mount -t cifs -o nosuid,rw,uid=XXX,gid=YYY,username=ZZZ,password=AAA //server/share /mnt. You have to fill in the XXX,YYY,ZZZ,AAA,server & share | 06:49 |
| jthomas | Mkop: aha, thanks | 06:49 |
| jthomas | geirha: ok, i'll set that too | 06:49 |

| dmsuperman | mpg123 -t just says "VBR" | 06:51 |
| dmsuperman | mp3info -x is the same | 06:52 |
| loof | you can just get the straight x86/32 bit version unless you have more than 3gb ram, then get the 64 bit version | 06:52 |
| losher | max_: 9.04 has known performance problems, particularly with intel chips I think. I suggest you download 8.04.2/32 bit instead & retry... | 06:52 |
| Mkop | jthomas: that's just the IP address or internet name of the machine you're connecting to | 06:52 |
| jjbin | <max>:u could try ubuntu 9.10,are u sure there is no problem with u hardware | 06:52 |
| loof | losher: but do i NEED to input the uid and gid? can i just not use them at all? | 06:52 |
| Mkop | that line might be, for example, 22222:123.123.45.45:22 | 06:52 |
| jthomas | Mkop: subnet IP? | 06:52 |
| max_ | losher: its an AMD chip. Will the 32bit version see both cores and 3gb of ram on the comp? | 06:53 |
| Mkop | jthomas: you mean, b/c the machine isn't accessible over the internet, just over intranet? | 06:53 |
| jthomas | Mkop: exactly | 06:53 |
| jthomas | proxy first | 06:53 |
| Mkop | jthomas: probably, it's whatever the proxy server knows that machine as | 06:53 |
| Mkop | whatever you would put when sshing from proxy to remotemachine | 06:54 |

| TomTommy | Mkop: what program can be used besides acrobat? | 07:02 |
| emacs | jtaji:hello plz help me | 07:02 |
| FeasibilityStudy | TomTommy, just use a PDF reader. I recommend using something like epdf or Okular or something open-source.. Adobe has horrible security issues. | 07:02 |
| TomTommy | Mkop: what do you mean? | 07:02 |
| Mkop | you need to have more of an adventurous spirit if you're using linux | 07:02 |
| jthomas | loof: all i needed was the default gnome directory | 07:02 |
| jthomas | loof: /desktop isn't a folder | 07:02 |
| loof | ah | 07:02 |
| loof | but it worked? | 07:03 |
| TomTommy | FeasibilityStudy: whats the smallest to install? I only have low monthly quota,. hence why I tried to avoid having to download 60MB of Adobe | 07:03 |
| jthomas | loof: nope, that's why it didn't work | 07:03 |

| FeasibilityStudy | TomyTommy I use Kubuntu and it comes with Okular, which is pretty good. However, you are probably on Gnome, so you might not want the KDE libs, etc.. | 07:04 |
| TomTommy | Mkop: this is what citibank website tells me: "I'm sorry. I cann't find Acrobat Reader installed. Please download and install plug-in before viewing statement. " | 07:04 |

| dyllan | Is it possible (if your MX records point to a spam/virus filter server first), to be SPAMMED directly to you email server, what i mean is that i am receiving a lot of SPAM but my spam/virus filter server doesnt show these message as spam or clean, so i assume im receiving the SPAM with hosts connecting directly to my static ip of server? | 07:07 |
| TomTommy | FeasibilityStudy: It only allows to download statement in these formats: OFX, QIF and CSV | 07:07 |
| FeasibilityStudy | TomTommy yeah then unfortunately you are going to have to install adobe reader. | 07:07 |

| FeasibilityStudy | I believe QIF | 07:09 |
| TomTommy | FeasibilityStudy: you not sure it reads OFX, QIF and CSV? | 07:09 |

| racecar56 | _Roke_, why not use openoffice | 07:11 |
| FeasibilityStudy | dont know about CSV | 07:11 |
| TomTommy | FeasibilityStudy: any other programs that can read OFX, QIF or CSV? Because gnucash wants to install 50 files, about 30MB worth | 07:12 |

| jthomas | Mkop: the password was neither localhost's or my remote machine's | 07:18 |
| jthomas | loof: thanks | 07:18 |
| Mkop | jthomas: when you first run ssh -L, you give it the proxy's password | 07:19 |
| indus | anoop__: difficult to diagnose , could you give any more details of the freeze | 07:19 |
| Mkop | then when you ssh to localhost, you give it remotemachine's password | 07:19 |
| Mkop | if that doesn't work, then something else is wrong | 07:20 |

| indus | anoop__: dual core is fine | 07:28 |
| Mkop | why? | 07:28 |
| Mkop | why VNC, I mean | 07:28 |
| jthomas | loof: exactly | 07:28 |
| gerald | ult, videos and website animations etc are really sluggish | 07:28 |

| gerald | I have the ati xpress 200m video card, and there doesn't seem to be a compatible driver for jaunty version. | 07:29 |
| racecar56 | how do i make my ubuntu remaster add a user on startup | 07:29 |
| loof | so you can get say tightvnc from tightvnc.com | 07:29 |
| loof | that worked for remoting in to the ubuntu machine for me | 07:29 |

| loof | jthomas: just noticed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=335548 | 07:30 |

| jthomas | loof: thanks | 07:31 |
| bazhang | gerald, generally the FF plugin flashblock will aid a bit for graphics heavy sites | 07:31 |
| Mkop | jthomas: when do you get that? when you do the ssh -L? | 07:31 |
| anoop__ | indus plz check pastebin | 07:31 |
| indus | anoop__: you have to paste that link here | 07:31 |
| jthomas | Mkop: nope, when i do the ssh -XC localhost | 07:31 |
| loof | apparently ubuntu can't serve rdp so you need to use a vnc viewer or an x server app for windows | 07:32 |

| bazhang | gerald, is there a propietary driver for that card? | 07:33 |
| GSKsiusha2 | does ubuntu 9.04 recognizes and tells me if i want to dual boot windows vista home edition ( 32 bits ) with no issues after instalation or i have to do something special ? | 07:33 |
| Mkop | jthomas: yeah, when you do the ssh -XC is when the proxy actually tries to connect to the remote machine. it could be, as the error message says, this is administratively prohibited. | 07:33 |
| Mkop | imagine that, an error message being accurate | 07:34 |
| bazhang | GSKsiusha2, which is installed first | 07:34 |
| gerald | bazhang: from what people say on the forums, ati dropped driver support for that card | 07:34 |

| gerald | what video card do you have anyways? | 07:35 |
| bazhang | GSKsiusha2, should be no problems; have you installed Ubuntu yet? | 07:35 |
| bazhang | nvidia 7300 | 07:35 |

| bazhang | Mkop, mibbit users | 07:35 |
| gerald | are nvidia cards generally well supported under linux? I'm planning on purchasing a new laptop soon | 07:35 |
| GSKsiusha2 | no i havent, i tried too but ubuntu did not offered me to free space on my HD but to reformat it all to install itself, and sorry dont know how to pm lol new here too | 07:36 |
| Mkop | bazhang: what about them? | 07:36 |
| bazhang | Mkop, that is what the exempt are for | 07:36 |
| travis_ | hello | 07:36 |
| loof | if you want to connect from windows to ubuntu, just run tightvnc on the windows box and you can connect | 07:37 |
| Mkop | why did it remove the exempt so quickly? | 07:37 |
| bazhang | he/she quit | 07:37 |
| loof | as long as you've turned on remote desktop in ubuntu and disabled the option that makes it so that you need to be there locally to click yes to start the session | 07:37 |

| perbl | unix: seriously dude! | 07:55 |
| indus | emacs: can you play games on the system? | 07:55 |
| perbl | when someone asks for help regarding networking, do you ask them if they need networking? | 07:55 |
| unix | and if you need 3, and your using two cards currently, why not upgrade to 1 | 07:55 |
| adhil | indus: ya... i moved to GNU/Linux recently not familiar with much tools | 07:56 |
| emacs | indus:ya sure i played nfs most wanted in ubuntu using cedega | 07:56 |
| susbwoy | Am i able to get a wide screen resolution in the framebuffer for console boot? i know vga=791 on the kernel boot line is 1024x768.... | 07:56 |

| Rabbitbunny | susbwoy: yes. look up the mode you want. wikipedia. | 07:57 |
| unix | lol | 07:57 |
| indus | adhil: are the files really that important cos frankly the process is complicated | 07:57 |
| unix | you need non-existant drivers, for two cards | 07:57 |

This page will tell you the IP address of the computer from which you are browsing and also whether or not a VNC Server is contactable at that address." | 07:58 |
| perbl | unix: no, as I said, this has worked earlier | 07:58 |
| indus | emacs: yeah maybe thats the issue? try using the open source ati driver | 07:58 |
| adhil | indus: not much.. but i would like to learn way to do this because i may face similar situations again | 07:58 |
| Rabbitbunny | kwtm: for a windows box you need Samba, for a good OS you can use scp, sshfs, mv... | 07:58 |
| unix | tif not get a beter card, with more recent drivers, with more alt outs, i have 3 connected, at max resx all 3, and they are all fine | 07:58 |
| perbl | I do not imagine having worked with a triple head setup since ubuntu 6.xx | 07:58 |

| Rabbitbunny | kwtm: for a windows box you need Samba, for a good OS you can use scp, sshfs, mv... | 07:59 |
| kwtm | Rabbitbunny: How do I do it with Firefox? | 07:59 |
| indus | adhil: just dont use shift delete and also, the recovery process is too difficult and only for data recovery people | 07:59 |
| Rabbitbunny | kwtm: open a terminal and type "man scp". | 07:59 |
| kwtm | Rabbitbunny: Oh, the destination computer already has sshd running. | 07:59 |
| perbl | I can always buy myself new monitors for a dualhead setup, but I am interested if it is possible to get this working first | 07:59 |
| indus | adhil: but you can save that page for reference of course | 07:59 |
| kwtm | Rabbitbunny: ?? How does that help me save it in Firefox? I'm trying to do it from Firefox. | 08:00 |
| indus | adhil: you might end up messing up the good files on the system | 08:00 |
| kbrosnan | kwtm: it would need to be mounted as a local filesystem to the best of my knowledge | 08:00 |

| kwtm | Rabbitbunny: Okay, maybe I can clarify: If I'm in Konqueror, I save it as "fish://OtherComputer/Myfilename", so what filename do I use... oh. sshfs? | 08:00 |
| kwtm | Rabbitbunny: WOuldn't that need admin privileges? | 08:01 |
| Rabbitbunny | Yes. | 08:01 |

| kbrosnan | kwtm: you should be able to connect to a ssh shared drive without using admin privlidges, in gnome places > connect to server. not sure about kde | 08:07 |

| josa01 | Hi , I am new in ubuntu. I have experience in other linux distribution . can we mount nfs shares at boot time in ubuntu . ? | 08:07 |
| Myrtti | josa01: fstab | 08:08 |
| MusashiOrig | Myrtti: ok, just came here because the "get help" option in amarok pointed to a web page which told me to come here... | 08:08 |
| Myrtti | MusashiOrig: I'm not telling you did wrong | 08:09 |
| mneptok | MusashiOrig: #amarok or #kubuntu would be better bets | 08:09 |

| MusashiOrig | Myrtti: Just explained, no accusations :-D I do get that you tried your best to help | 08:10 |
| Myrtti | MusashiOrig: hehe ok | 08:10 |
| josa01 | no , just set "default" as option | 08:10 |
| Myrtti | josa01: if you don't have network up when the fstab is read and mounted, it will hang. look into that, the man mount has some good pointers to which I always resort | 08:13 |
| joakimk | I'm having problems with Wikipedia, in Firefox 1.9.0.10. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, and the math (formulas in Latex) aren't rendered in Wikipedia! Is there anything I can do to fix this? | 08:14 |
| joakimk | Is it a known problem? | 08:14 |
| perbl | hm, perhaps try to switch from xinerama to randr and see if that does it for my monitors | 08:14 |
| joakimk | I'm running updates on a regular basis, as Ubuntu tells me to | 08:14 |
| Myrtti | joakimk: it shouldn't have anything to do with your ubuntu | 08:14 |
| joakimk | Myrtti: Firefox, then? | 08:15 |
| Myrtti | joakimk: could you give me a link to an article that you experience this with? | 08:15 |
| joakimk | Myrtti: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano's_Inequality | 08:15 |
| mneptok | joakimk: ummm ... *what* version of Firefox?! | 08:16 |
| joakimk | Myrtti: *some* of the math is there, but almost everything in the "Fano's Inequality" paragraph is gone | 08:16 |
| perbl | aren't they png-images? | 08:16 |
| wraith0x2b | do you guys thing it would be a bad thing to setup ubuntu to use a home partition I already use for archlinux? I use gnome in ubuntu and ratpoison under arch so configs won't get messed up..but what else should I be careful with? | 08:16 |

| Myrtti | joakimk: have you tried refreshing the page with ctrl-f5? | 08:17 |
| perbl | joakimk: that's because that is a text line | 08:17 |
| Myrtti | no, shift-f5 | 08:17 |
| bluejeans | only the standard apps like your browser and such will be sharing config files which is almost always ok.. | 08:17 |

| joakimk | Myrtti: wireless... but I don't think that could be it...? | 08:19 |
| joakimk | perbl: how's that? | 08:19 |
| perbl | joakimk: see if they are images and not text as the one you can ciew on the page you just posted | 08:19 |
| perbl | also, see if they are png or jpg-images | 08:19 |
| joakimk | perbl: thing is, the images that don't appear, aren't shown *at all* -- no broken images or anything. Just gone | 08:19 |
| joakimk | nothing to click on | 08:19 |
| Myrtti | joakimk: if NetworkManager deals with your network, the interfaces may be up before fstab is read and used, but it will not mean there's network connection available | 08:20 |
| joakimk | perbl: nothing wrong with the wiki article -- if I edit it, I can see the latex math there | 08:20 |
| perbl | I was not talking about the missing ones, I meant the ones you saw :) | 08:20 |
| josa01 | Myrtti: ethernet | 08:20 |
| Schwag | lol | 08:20 |
| joakimk | perbl: gotcha | 08:20 |
| perbl | joakimk: yeah, but the latex math is processed into a png-image on the server side | 08:20 |

| Tmi | Does anyone else have problems with the resolution being broken at some boots seemingly at random? When this happens I can't change resolution or anything, only thing to do is to reboot. It's getting a bit irritating now as it happens around every third boot or so. | 08:50 |
| skyfollian | been there myself, dunno how to solve it | 08:51 |
| v8 | help | 08:51 |
| hoohaah | in what ways does the resolution break? | 08:51 |
| skyfollian | the resolution set won't stay | 08:51 |
| Vins | Peoples! | 08:51 |
| Tmi | hoohaah, it just goes to 1024x768 at 50 Hz with no possibility o change it | 08:51 |
| Vins | What is admin? | 08:51 |
| Tmi | when I reboot it goes back to normal | 08:52 |
| Tmi | so something seems wrong with the graphics drivers not loading or something | 08:52 |
| hoohaah | Tmi: is you monitor hooked up via dvi? | 08:52 |
| hoohaah | *your | 08:52 |
| Tmi | The weird thing is that it only happens on every third boot or so :P | 08:52 |
| Tmi | hoohaah, I actually have two monitors hooked up, one via dvi and one via normal vga | 08:52 |
| hoohaah | how did you configure both? | 08:53 |
| Tmi | by nvidia-settings | 08:53 |
| Tmi | separate x-screens | 08:53 |
| hoohaah | are both monitors the same res? | 08:53 |
| Tmi | nope ... one is 1024x768 and the other 1680x1050 | 08:54 |
| hoohaah | skyfollian: what about you? | 08:54 |
| skyfollian | guess would be the driver wasn't properly installed | 08:54 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest35587 | ||

| skyfollian | 1400X1050 | 08:54 |
| skyfollian | it breaks after reboots | 08:55 |
| Tmi | you have the same problem? | 08:55 |
| hoohaah | yeah | 08:55 |
| NishaKitty | what's the offtopic channel? | 08:55 |
| hoohaah | 1920x1080 and 1600x1200 | 08:55 |
| Tmi | how often does it happen for you guys? | 08:55 |
| skyfollian | every time it reboots | 08:55 |
| NishaKitty | !offtopic | 08:55 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:55 |
| hoohaah | it happens after init successfully loads, right before gdm kicks in | 08:55 |
| NishaKitty | nvm :3 | 08:55 |
| hoohaah | i have to manually set the resolution(s) durinmg the session. Reboot undoes any of my changes | 08:56 |
| Tmi | But is it like for me that at some startups it works fine with no problems, while at some it does not and requires a reboot to work? | 08:56 |
| hoohaah | Tmi: it might be the drivers, as skyfollian mentioned. | 08:56 |
| hoohaah | I'm using the same | 08:56 |
| hoohaah | which Ubuntu release is this? | 08:56 |
| skyfollian | 8.04 | 08:56 |
| hoohaah | can't find anything on bugtracker remotely similar | 08:57 |
| Tmi | I'm on 8.10 atm, but I had the same thing happen in 9.04 | 08:57 |
| hoohaah | damn. it's not consistent then. Everything was fine until 9.04 for me | 08:57 |
| Tmi | Well, I'll try reinstalling the driver and see if that helps, otherwise I guess I'll make a thread about it on the forums | 08:57 |
| skyfollian | i will install the 9.04 tonight | 08:57 |
| mintux | when I run sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source-`uname -r` I got E: Couldn't find package linux-source-2.6.27-7-generic | 08:57 |
| hoohaah | 9.04 has one helluva sexy splash screen (gdm) | 08:58 |
| hoohaah | wish it'd use native resolution of my first montior though :( | 08:58 |
| Tmi | 9.04 does not go well with my eyes for some reason :P, I always get sore eyes fast in it even though resolution, fonts etc are the same | 08:58 |
| skyfollian | i 'd probably compile the kernel downloaded from other sources myself | 08:58 |
| whois | hey everyone | 08:59 |
| whois | I wanted to ask if the is a way of increasing virtual memory in ubuntu | 08:59 |
| hoohaah | mintux: if this is a custom kernel, use make-kpkg to build kernel_image as well as modules_image (if needed) and linux_headers | 08:59 |
| whois | and is it recommended | 08:59 |
| skyfollian | nvidia 8400GS video card, lol | 08:59 |
| hoohaah | Tmi: it's probably the refresh rate | 08:59 |
| Tmi | nah that's the same too | 09:00 |
| Tmi | that is what makes it so weird :P | 09:00 |
| hoohaah | whois: it's not needed, usually. And by virtual memory- do you mean swap space? | 09:00 |
| Tmi | I had just the same problem in archlinux | 09:00 |
| Tmi | I think it has something to do with the new xorg rendering or something | 09:00 |
| whois | I mean the equivalent of vidown were you can free up diskspace to use as RAM | 09:01 |
| skyfollian | yeah, the rendering part pisses me off | 09:01 |
| hoohaah | whois: that's swap at work | 09:01 |
| perbl | there, three separate screens working fine | 09:01 |
| hoohaah | whois: cat /proc/swaps | 09:02 |
| skyfollian | swap myfriend, just turn it off, swapoff | 09:02 |
| perbl | now just to trick all three into one giant screen without using xinerama, and I should be good to go :) | 09:02 |
| whois | Thank you | 09:02 |
| whois | is ti recommended though | 09:02 |
| skyfollian | delete the partition, builda new one with yr free disk space | 09:02 |
| whois | thanks | 09:02 |
| hoohaah | whois: well, it's only recommended if you're extremely low on ram | 09:02 |
| hoohaah | whois: you'd need to consider ram usage at it's peak | 09:03 |
| whois | thanx Hoohah, you are god | 09:03 |
| skyfollian | of cos, dun forget yr fstab | 09:03 |
| whois | a god* | 09:03 |
| hoohaah | without needing to manually partition again to increse swap (if you had it on a separate partition,) you can always use a swap file | 09:03 |
| hoohaah | whois: actually, I'm a crude slang term ;) | 09:04 |
| skyfollian | yeah, similar to pagefile of windows | 09:04 |
| Tmi | seems I was using nvidia-177 instead of nvidia-180 | 09:04 |
| Tmi | Hope that fixes my problems, will try a few reboots now and see | 09:04 |
| hoohaah | but I guess I can be worshipped by some.. so 'God' would be fitting then :) | 09:04 |

| aidehua | My system is booting slowly, but I can't see what it's doing because of the splash screen. How can I see the boot messages? | 09:22 |
| tsimpson | Dbug: aptitude should also keep a log of what was installed/removed in /var/log/aptitude*, so you could look in there before resorting to a reinstall | 09:23 |
| skyfollian | /var/log/boot? | 09:23 |
| Dbug | tsimpson: i found that already but how to uninstall all of these packages without geting into the trouble of their dependencies? | 09:24 |
| joetheodd_ | aidehua, edit /etc/grub/menu.lst. From all the kernels in the list at the bottom, remove quiet, splash, etc. | 09:24 |
| aidehua | joetheodd_: sure. I actually wanted to see what it was doing at the moment. | 09:24 |
| tsimpson | joetheodd_: aidehua: just remove "splash", not "quite". unless you want lots of kernel messages | 09:25 |
| aidehua | (I was pretty sure I could press escape, or something, and the splash screen would be replaced with what would've been shown, if splash wasn't on. | 09:25 |

| tsimpson | Dbug: apt/aptitude should want to remove the unused dependencies for you, once it sees a package is unused | 09:25 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | skyfollian, thanks it was the network cabling | 09:25 |
| skyfollian | yw | 09:25 |
| * aidehua gave up and just reset anyway, and the second boot was fine. | 09:26 | |
| sreyes | exit | 09:26 |
| joetheodd_ | felix_, not sure I understand. You want to have two connections enabled? | 09:26 |
| Dbug | tsimpson: it unfortunately issnt.. i am new to debian / ubuntu / apt / aptitude so i do not know if i have something wrong on my installation | 09:27 |
| felix_ | joetheodd: Right! I want to share my Internet via the WLAN connection! | 09:27 |
| bigpresh | felix_: You'll need to set up appropriate routes; for instance, make the UMTS connection your default route, then set up a route for your network's IP range to go via the wifi connection | 09:27 |
| bigpresh | felix_: You'd do that with the cunningly-named 'route' command | 09:27 |
| joetheodd_ | bigpresh, from my experience, a prerequisite is a bottle of ibuprofein on your desk. You'll figure out why. | 09:28 |
| bigpresh | joetheodd_: Hehe :) | 09:28 |
| felix_ | bigpresh: Okay, I'll try figuring something out via the wiki - and if I don't have any clue, I'll ask again :D | 09:29 |
| tsimpson | Dbug: it probably has to do with all the gnome dependencies, when removing libglib2.0-0 and libx11-6 most of it will be removed | 09:29 |
| Dbug | tsimpson: vim-full has only vim-comon wich has vim-gnome.. and there the mess starts.. | 09:30 |
| joetheodd_ | Dbug, for troubleshooting dependencies, try apt-cache showpkg [packagename] | 09:31 |
| joetheodd_ | Dbug, that'll list off all the dependencies and what's depending on it. | 09:31 |
| tsimpson | Dbug: libglib2.0-0 is the base library that everything in gnome depends on, and libx11-6 is the library for X.Org. so when they are removed pretty much every X app will be too | 09:31 |
| Dbug | tsimpson: i'll try that *g* | 09:32 |

| tsimpson | Tiede: that will not move, but copy | 09:36 |
| Tiede | @AdvoWork ooops! I meant mv. cp merely copies files.... | 09:36 |
| tsimpson | Tiede: and it's the wrong way | 09:36 |
| Tiede | @Janhouse install fast-user-switcher applet | 09:37 |
| koshari | Tiede other than that its not bad :-) | 09:37 |
| naxa | how can I set default program for a file extienson what I don't currently own? For example I want to set smplayer for all mkv files but I don't actually have an mkv file, and I don't want to create one just to be able to use nautilus->right click->properties->open with->set default program. And/or do anyone know where gnome/nautlius keeps the default program associations? | 09:37 |

| Tiede | @koshari good point! (wow, what's with me tonight...) | 09:38 |
| Dbug | tsimpson: removing these two libs seems to help me out of my misery *g* | 09:38 |
| Janhouse | Tiede I have it installed | 09:38 |
| koshari | naxa i would suspect it would be somewhere in gconf-editor | 09:39 |
| Tiede | then right-click on the panel and select add applet. then select User Switcher | 09:39 |
| Tiede | no need to go in gconf-editor for that ;) | 09:39 |
| naxa | koshari, a person I've asked before just found out that there is a file "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" what has some mime-types and some application association to them | 09:40 |
| naxa | this is not a complete solution but it's getting better | 09:40 |
| Tiede | @koshari obviously, my brain is NOT working tonight. I caught that as i pressed enter... I think i need sleep :( | 09:40 |
| JonTheNiceGuy | naxa I've only just joined the channel - are you having a problem with the Netbook Release and file associations in Firefox? | 09:41 |
| naxa | JonathanD, not really, I was asking if anyone knows a way to pre-associate file-types with applications without actual files with a specific extienson. In general, if anyone knows where gnome/nautilus keeps file associations and if there is a better way to set them than right click a file then properties. | 09:42 |

| insmod | <cypha>kills it -- you need just the app? | 09:56 |
| cypha | yup | 09:56 |
| cypha | i already ran the app, i just want to restore it | 09:56 |

| insmod | <cypha> alt tab | 09:57 |
| cypha | lol | 09:57 |
| cypha | ok, here's the thing | 09:58 |
| cypha | i want a shortcut for skype | 09:58 |
| l2s | Hi | 09:58 |
| cypha | so i created a keyboard shortcut, the command is "skype" | 09:58 |
| cypha | but if i run that command after skype has started, it just runs another instance | 09:58 |
| Tiede | @cypha Ah! most programs show the main window when they are "re"invoked... | 09:58 |
| cypha | i just want to bring forth the old instance | 09:58 |
| yaris123456789 | how can i get status of how much bandwith my server is currently using ? like my overall download speed right now. | 09:58 |
| l2s | If you are running hardy but need the latest version of git, is there a way to tell apt to update to a package thats available in 9.04 | 09:58 |
| insmod | <cypha> use cntl S | 09:58 |
| cypha | i did | 09:59 |
| cypha | skype will keep replicating | 09:59 |
| AnnonyMouse | hi guis. been getting a series of installation errors recently w the apt/dpkg installers when installing various apps: "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" & "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)". this is on a fresh hardy 64 vm install, but have been getting it on other apps too. using standard ubuntu repo's | 09:59 |
| insmod | <cypha> alt tab | 09:59 |
| Myrtti | cypha: that's skype for you | 09:59 |
| insmod | <cypha> or a better way is write script for it | 10:00 |
| marcinolot | skype i nice program. I'm from Poland and i chat with my friend from Israel, cool | 10:00 |
| cypha | no clue how | 10:00 |
| Tiede | I'd check skype's man page... | 10:00 |
| AnnonyMouse | 4 decent skype installation, use ubuntu-tweak | 10:00 |
| cypha | no man page | 10:00 |
| Myrtti | I'd note that Skype is a proprietary software that we don't support here, check their webpage and forums | 10:00 |
| insmod | <cypha> info | 10:00 |
| cypha | oh, nice | 10:01 |
| cypha | AnnonyMouse, what do you mean ubuntu-tweak to install it? | 10:01 |
| AnnonyMouse | ubuntu-tweak does a stable skype install on 32 & 64-bit | 10:01 |
| l2s | Do you have to compile or is there a way to tell apt to get the later package | 10:01 |
| AnnonyMouse | ubuntu-tweak is an app u can use to install some advanced & 3rd party apps, including propietaries | 10:01 |
| Myrtti | AnnonyMouse: what is this ubuntu-tweak? | 10:02 |
| cypha | i have skype isntalled | 10:02 |
| Tiede | @AnnonyMouse does that make skype spawn a second process when called, or does it restore the previous one? That's whay cypha needs | 10:02 |
| cypha | thanks tiede | 10:02 |
| YankeeWhite | yay i got my wireless working on ubuntu right away :) | 10:03 |
| YankeeWhite | first time install going good so far >_> | 10:03 |
| yaris123456789 | KnowWhat: i dont want anything complciated. i just want a simple command that will return the current bandwith its using (3000kb/s) something like that | 10:03 |
| AnnonyMouse | no idea. i get that too when using it w the pidgin integration plugin, but I've removed all write access once my profile is config's | 10:03 |
| AnnonyMouse | *d* | 10:03 |
| cypha | i even tried putting skype on the widget layer | 10:03 |
| cypha | but anytime i exited a conversation, it exited the widget layer | 10:03 |
| Myrtti | AnnonyMouse: what's ubuntu-tweak? | 10:04 |
| AnnonyMouse | http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 10:04 |
| AnnonyMouse | yaris123456789: nettop | 10:04 |
| tiyowan | Myrtti: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-tweak-ubuntu.html | 10:04 |
| yaris123456789 | AnnonyMouse: thanks | 10:05 |
| AnnonyMouse | anyone here know what's up with the apt/dpkg install errors? | 10:05 |
| Myrtti | tiyowan, AnnonyMouse in the future, please do not suggest ubuntu tweak to anyone, ok? | 10:05 |
| tiyowan | Myrtti: I did not suggest it to anyone - I pointed out the link to you. | 10:05 |
| AnnonyMouse | y not? it does the job & avoits complications. same as envy-ng | 10:05 |
| cypha | thanks guys | 10:06 |
| mainstream_ | what's wrong with ubuntu tweak? | 10:06 |
| mainstream_ | :S | 10:06 |
| Myrtti | AnnonyMouse: because that isn't official part of ubuntu | 10:06 |
| Tiede | @cypha I was trying the Dev pages for skype, but it's not clear :( https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc/FrontPage | 10:06 |
| mainstream_ | so because it's not official it's shouldn't be discussed? | 10:06 |
| Myrtti | mainstream_: we haven't checked if it's kosher | 10:06 |
| AnnonyMouse | tru. but neither is skype, nor is vmware, nvidia/ati propietary drivers. t's a tool that get's the job done | 10:07 |
| mainstream_ | ok :) well i used it a couple times, and it's great for me | 10:07 |
| mainstream_ | :) | 10:07 |
| AnnonyMouse | & neither is the FAT fs, or NTFS or HFSpluss | 10:07 |
| Myrtti | AnnonyMouse: and we don't support skype here either | 10:07 |
| koshari | naxa: this file may be wortha look, /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml | 10:08 |
| AnnonyMouse | no. but it's important to support the migration off commonly-used platforms. an all-or-nothig position is not going to garner any new users | 10:09 |
| ikonia | AnnonyMouse: those packages are included in the main repos - so have community support, tweak does not, so it's not supported | 10:09 |
| simplexio | Myrtti: bashing ubuntu-tweak because it isnt official sound bad idea | 10:09 |
| ikonia | simplexio: thats not the reason | 10:10 |
| AnnonyMouse | i get ur point, though i would caution being acommodating 2 n00bs until they're comfy enough to go full-FLOSS. it's taken me years of hard work 2get 2 that pont | 10:10 |
| ikonia | simplexio: it's a dangerous product that can have negative effects on your syste,, | 10:10 |
| zekai | jjjj | 10:10 |
| Tiede | @ikonia , Myrtti well, do you know a better metapackage that is already in the repos? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | AnnonyMouse: don't call people "n--bs" | 10:10 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: Ah I get it now. Goof point. | 10:10 |
| tiyowan | ikonia: er, good. | 10:10 |
| simplexio | Myrtti: if you rally want to have all conversation "official" in this channel then you allow only canonical employee to answer questions | 10:10 |
| ikonia | AnnonyMouse: `"n00bs" sorry | 10:10 |
| mrvdv | how do i install a i386 file | 10:10 |
| AnnonyMouse | y not? i was a n00b, and in some regard I still am | 10:11 |
| ikonia | mrvdv: what file/product do you want to use ? | 10:11 |
| zekai | merhaba | 10:11 |
| simplexio | ikonia: can have? or its very unstable ? | 10:11 |
| simplexio | ikonia: even normal upgrade can have negative effect to your system | 10:11 |
| AnnonyMouse | so? nobody have any insights into the apt/dpkg installation errors cropping up? | 10:12 |
| simplexio | actually.. using ubuntu after installation can have negative performace to system :) | 10:12 |
| pixie79 | hi, i am making a new kernel but my make-kpkg command is failing with the following error, does anyone have any ideas: making target binary-arch [new prereqs: do-binary-arch] | 10:12 |
| Tiede | @simplexio I second that! upgrading to Intrepid then Jaunty made by graphics all fuzzed and blue... Can't watch any videos now :'( | 10:13 |
| Tiede | @simplexio Isn't that a common fact of all operation systems :D ;) | 10:13 |
| AnnonyMouse | I've had that issue b4 with another system making use of regular deb repo's, but this is a fresh VM jaunty, and relates to a std package in repo: apt-cacher-ng | 10:13 |
| simplexio | Tiede: yes it is, ubuntu just dosent degreade that much :) | 10:13 |
| tiyowan | simplexio: I think you misunderstood slightly. Take for example, a custom kernel. I doubt that a custom kernel is supported. | 10:13 |
| AdvoWork | is there a way to get all computer names/ip addresses on my network? sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.0/24 gets ip's but not comp names | 10:14 |
| simplexio | tiyowan: probably.. there are stuff that is supportyed , stuff that isnt supported and stuff that is so unstable that just installing and running it once will probably broke system | 10:15 |
| koshari | AdvoWork there is a way to do that, i did it a while ago, its slow, but i forgot the command | 10:15 |
| === NeoBlaster is now known as WtF_- | ||
| JonTheNiceGuy | AdvoWork: Try adding -R | 10:15 |
| simplexio | so if ubuntu-tweak is one of those dangerous programs, then i agree that ppl should warn about it. in other case myrtti shouldnt comment about talking about it | 10:15 |
| === WtF_- is now known as NeoBlaster | ||
| insmod | <simplexio>just configure a new kernel | 10:16 |
| AdvoWork | JonTheNiceGuy, like -O -R ? | 10:16 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: names as ? dns ?hostnames ? or what | 10:16 |
| JonTheNiceGuy | AdvoWork: Sounds about right | 10:17 |
| === eric is now known as badbandit | ||
| Myrtti | simplexio: which is why I'm reading the source of it now | 10:17 |
| insmod | <AdvoWork>netstat | 10:17 |
| AnnonyMouse | simplexio : i believe that 1 should be wary of ANY propietry piece of s/w, but that should not deter you from hacking/exploiting it | 10:17 |
| koshari | AdvoWork try "nmap -v -sP 192.168.0.240-253" | 10:17 |
| JonTheNiceGuy | AdvoWork: it's namp -v -sP -R 192.168.1.0/24" | 10:18 |
| tiyowan | Myrtti: I think it just automates the process of editing config files. | 10:18 |
| AdvoWork | OR can i get the computer name from an IP? if i have that IP directly? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: if you have reverse dns setup, sure | 10:18 |
| AnnonyMouse | AdvoWork: u could use arp for that | 10:18 |
| simplexio | tiyowan: which has high change to broke system if its implemented wrong | 10:18 |
| insmod | AdvoWork>yes | 10:19 |
| cypha | How can i run Google Gadgets from the command line? | 10:19 |
| cypha | like start it | 10:19 |
| cypha | google-gadgets doesn't work | 10:19 |
| debbs | anyboy hear of a firewall called ipconfu | 10:19 |
| Tiede | @cypha i believe its gg something... | 10:20 |
| cypha | nope | 10:20 |
| debbs | oops i mean anybody! | 10:20 |
| Tiede | @cypha try typing gg and use tab completion (had it a long while ago, but i don't use it anymore)... | 10:20 |
| cypha | nope | 10:21 |
| cypha | ggz-wrapper | 10:21 |
| Tiede | @cypha It's ggl-gtk | 10:21 |
| tiyowan | simplexio: Agreed. I'm looking at the source code as well - it's written in python. | 10:22 |
| cypha | says it's not installed | 10:22 |
| cypha | that's weird | 10:22 |
| cypha | i just installed google gadgets | 10:22 |
| cypha | and it's in the system tray | 10:22 |
| simplexio | Tiede: wink wink.. this one hilights on moust irc clients | 10:22 |
| dquestions | anyone here drive an old (90's ) bmw 318i? | 10:22 |
| cypha | it's in my Applications menu | 10:22 |
| cypha | can't i find out what the applications menu is doing to run it? | 10:23 |
| insmod | <dquestions>did i park it wrong? | 10:23 |
| cypha | like you can in windows? | 10:23 |
| tiyowan | !ot | dquestions | 10:23 |
| ubottu | dquestions: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 10:23 |
| simplexio | im starting to think this channel is worth of it.. | 10:23 |
| simplexio | we have somewhat low traffic moment going on and ppl complain about !ot | 10:24 |
| cypha | hello? How can I find out what the location the Applications menu is using to run google gadgets? | 10:24 |
| simplexio | or !windows | 10:24 |
| Tiede | @cypha go to System->Preferences->Main Menu, select Applications, find it, locate it, and select properties on the right hand side. | 10:24 |
| tiyowan | cypha: Have you tried typing ggl-gtk from a terminal? | 10:24 |
| AdvoWork | ok, the problem i have is. im connected to a voip phone, this has an ip(ive got the ip of this) from there, my pc connects to that. can i find the ip from that somehow? | 10:24 |
| cypha | compiz is gnome, right? | 10:25 |
| cypha | it's ggl-qt | 10:25 |
| hellues | hey | 10:25 |
| cypha | but i thought qt was KDE | 10:25 |
| cypha | i have compiz, which is gnome, right? | 10:25 |
| hellues | are there any program to work .dmg on ubuntu | 10:25 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: which ip ? voip phone. you could try pinf broadcast address, or simply using tcpdump/wireshark to listen traffic | 10:25 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, are they easy to use? | 10:26 |
| tiyowan | cypha: I suspect you have gnome. Please try: ggl-gtk | 10:26 |
| cypha | tiyowan, how do i uninstall ggl-qt then? | 10:26 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: or calling from voip to pc and using netstat to figure where call came from | 10:26 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: yes | 10:26 |
| cypha | and also, why do i have Qt4 Settings in my Settings>Application menu? | 10:26 |
| Tiede | @cypha sudo apt-get purge ggl-qt | 10:27 |
| hellues | any response | 10:27 |
| Tiede | @cypha you probably have some other app that depends on qt that installed it for windowing purposes.. | 10:27 |
| chocobanana | hellues: The archive manager can possibly you open them but just to see the file and directory contents | 10:27 |
| simplexio | hellues: what is dmg ? | 10:27 |
| koshari | cypha qt is a development platform, kde is developed using qt like many other apps. | 10:27 |
| cypha | i wonder what, cuz i'm using gnome | 10:27 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, i like the sound of calling from voip to pc, how do you mean exactly? | 10:27 |
| cypha | oh | 10:27 |
| hellues | max osx extension | 10:27 |
| hellues | mac* | 10:27 |
| tiyowan | cypha: If you install an application that uses the qt widgets (which is the one used by the KDE environment), then the qt libraries will be installed as, regardless of whether you're using gnome or kde. And that is why you see the QT4 settings in gnome | 10:27 |
| cypha | did purge properly remove everything that ggl-qt came with? | 10:28 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: ekiga which is registered to same voip network as voip phone | 10:28 |
| Tiede | yes, purge will remove the program AND it's configurations files | 10:28 |
| tiyowan | cypha: If it didn't report any errors, then you should be ok. :) | 10:28 |
| koshari | cypha its likely you have an ap developed using qt, ie, vlc, amarok, k3b, avidemux(qt) ect | 10:28 |
| cypha | btw, when i ran ggl-qt from the terminal, it said "Not a regular file: /" | 10:28 |
| flashman5 | hi everybody! | 10:29 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: do you know what protocol its uses ? | 10:29 |
| tiyowan | cypha: Are you trying to install google gadgets? | 10:29 |
| cypha | i had it installed | 10:29 |
| cypha | ggl-qt | 10:29 |
| Tiede | @cypha I'd say try sudo apt-get purge ggl-qt google-gadgets && sudo apt-get install google-gadgets again... | 10:29 |
| cypha | but when i ran that from the terminal (after i installed it), it said it wasn't a regular file | 10:29 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, the pcs are connected to snom phones for SIP. running from a trixbox/asterisk server | 10:30 |
| tiyowan | cypha: You had the wrong version installed. Try sudo apt-get install google-gadgets-gtk now. | 10:30 |
| hellues | possible to run mac osx program on ubuntu | 10:30 |
| tiyowan | cypha: After running this command, "Google Gadgets" should show up in Applications -> Internet | 10:30 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: then its easy.. just conf ekiga on pc to use same asterix, and call from voip to pc | 10:30 |
| Tiede | @hellues you will need an emulator for that | 10:31 |
| hellues | hmm | 10:31 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: or even more easier, go to * server and check registered phones address | 10:31 |
| cypha | google gadgets QT is still in the applications menu | 10:31 |
| hellues | are there any emulator | 10:31 |
| hellues | is it like wine | 10:31 |
| tiyowan | cypha: Ignore that for the moment. | 10:31 |
| hellues | how can i find that | 10:31 |
| cypha | so it didn't fully remove? | 10:31 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, ahh didnt think of that. but.. i can get the phone ip fine, its just the ip of the pc | 10:31 |
| Tiede | @hellues yes. the idea is the same. just Mac instead of windows. | 10:31 |
| koshari | cypha check the path of the menu app | 10:31 |
| tiyowan | cypha: It's probably a left-over menu reference. :) | 10:31 |
| cypha | k | 10:32 |
| mrvdv | where can i get plesk from ? | 10:32 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: ifconfig on that pc ? or was the problem that you could get access to pc | 10:32 |
| flashman5 | I would appreciate is someone could help me with booting the Ubuntu Netbook remix on an Acer Aspire One netbook. I have created the boot pendrive, everything works fine on my eMachines laptop, but when I try to boot the netbook it freezes at the starting options of Ubuntu, no response to keyboard and the strangest is that I dont even get the language selector screen before that | 10:32 |
| hellues | Tiede, do you know ones | 10:32 |
| tiyowan | cypha: I think you can get rid of it if you right-click on your menu and edit it - I don't remember the exact steps, but you have to untick the checkmark next to it to make it go away. | 10:32 |
| hellues | do you know macosx emulator | 10:32 |
| cypha | i can still run ggl-qt | 10:32 |
| cypha | i just ran /usr/bin/ggl-qt from the terminal and it still worked | 10:33 |
| Tiede | @hellues try www.linux.org/apps/all/System/Emulators.html | 10:33 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, ive got access to most pcs, just not this one lol, its typical, eventually i want to be able to manage all ubuntu pcs remotely from this pc. Is that possible(once i have the ip?) | 10:34 |
| cypha | tiyowan? | 10:34 |
| harpreet_ | how can i open wps files? | 10:34 |
| koshari | harpreet_ what are they? | 10:34 |
| Caleb-a-html-cod | Im getting a new laptop in like 3 weeks. It has 4gb ram. Is that enough for it to work? | 10:35 |
| tiyowan | cypha: Okay. Can you type dpkg -l | ggl, copy the results, go to pastebin.ubuntu.com, paste the results there, and post the link here? | 10:35 |
| SunnyD | Caleb-a-html-cod: yeah, you will be able to do everything | 10:35 |
| Tiede | @hellues the link i sent you might be broken... here's a better one. with LOTS more: http://www.thefreecountry.com/emulators/macintosh.shtml | 10:35 |
| koshari | Caleb-a-html-cod of course, PCs once ran on 600k | 10:35 |
| zekai | nnn | 10:35 |
| SunnyD | Caleb-a-html-cod: what do you need ? vmware ? movies, etc... ? | 10:35 |
| Caleb-a-html-cod | SunnyD: thanks | 10:35 |
| magnetron | koshari, harpreet_: is it a Microsoft Works word processor file? | 10:35 |
| norpan111 | I try to start xchat but it crashes my whole Seassion, the computer like freeze | 10:35 |
| norpan111 | What could be the reason? | 10:36 |
| cypha | i found the file | 10:36 |
| Caleb-a-html-cod | All i needed to know, ty | 10:36 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: did you check "dmseg" ? | 10:36 |
| harpreet_ | magnetron: yes, koshari | 10:36 |
| koshari | magnetron: you could try OO or even gedit, however with the second you may lose formating | 10:36 |
| cypha | in /usr/bin | 10:36 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: sorry, go to terminal and run "dmesg" | 10:36 |
| cypha | ggl-qt is still there | 10:36 |
| koshari | magnetron sorry harpreet_ | 10:36 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: :) so no access at all to that one pc.. and remove control is possible even between different OS | 10:36 |
| cypha | if i delete that file, will it be permanently gone with no other remnants? | 10:36 |
| SunnyD | Caleb-a-html-cod: anything i am buying from now on is 64bit, i dont give a fuck | 10:36 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: and now what? | 10:37 |
| tiyowan | cypha: Please don't delete files directly from /usr/bin - it doesn't work that way. | 10:37 |
| magnetron | harpreet_→ the standard Open-office that is shipped with new versions of Ubuntu supports it | 10:37 |
| tiyowan | !language | SunnyD | 10:37 |
| ubottu | SunnyD: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:37 |
| harpreet_ | magnetron: so i should upgrade oo? | 10:37 |
| CSSnub | during boot when Ubuntu says "Boot from (hd0,4) ext3 ..." is it mounting the drive? It seems to take an extraordinarily long time. | 10:37 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: i dont know, pastebin.com the outcome it and copy it here we will check | 10:37 |
| CSSnub | Is my poor little box in distress? | 10:37 |
| SunnyD | tiyowan: sorry | 10:37 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: ok | 10:37 |
| Tiede | @cypha deleting things left and write in /usr/bin is like playing around with C:/Program Files in windows... Potentially volatile... | 10:37 |
| magnetron | harpreet_→ no, just use the one that ships with ubuntu. | 10:37 |
| tiyowan | cypha: Type dpkg -l | ggl, copy the results, go to pastebin.ubuntu.com, paste the results there, and post the link here. | 10:38 |
| tiyowan | cypha: sorry, it's paste.ubuntu.com | 10:38 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: Here it is ; http://pastebin.com/m5695f6d | 10:38 |
| magnetron | harpreet_→ ubuntu ships with Go-oo that supports Works files. if you install any other version, you'll probably get the regular OO.org that doesn't support works files | 10:38 |
| insmod | <cypha>eeeek don't do that | 10:38 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: yeah well don't only count on me brother, ask around as well :S | 10:39 |
| SunnyD | :D | 10:39 |
| norpan111 | Yeah | 10:39 |
| insmod | <cypha>never del a file in user bin = broken system | 10:39 |
| harpreet_ | magnetron: it opens the file but doesnt display contents | 10:39 |
| norpan111 | Everytime i start xchat everything crashes, the picture get all wrong and looks like a puzzel. | 10:39 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, whats the best way to go about remotely working on other pcs? terminal services, or ssh or? and how? | 10:40 |
| Tiede | @everyone I think cypha gets the message now ;) | 10:40 |
| magnetron | harpreet_→ are you using the standard version that is shipped with Ubuntu? or did you "upgrade" to any other version? | 10:40 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: have you tried using Pidgin ? | 10:40 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: yes pidgin works, but why not xchat? it has worked before | 10:40 |
| flashman5 | can someone help me with the netbook problem? its driving me crazy | 10:40 |
| tiyowan | AdvoWork: Well - depends on what you're trying to do. For simple file-transfer, ssh is best. | 10:40 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: its all since i installed proper drivers for my graphic card | 10:40 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: on ubuntu enviroment i would use ssh + vnc | 10:40 |
| harpreet_ | magnetron: standard | 10:41 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: also my gnome-do dockdy is very laggy.. and my graphiccard should fix this just fine | 10:41 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, and what do i need to setup on client pcs? | 10:41 |
| insmod | <AdvoWork>ssh fish etc | 10:41 |
| cypha | tiede, so what should i do? | 10:41 |
| tiyowan | cypha: Type dpkg -l | ggl, copy the results, go to pastebin.ubuntu.com, paste the results there, and post the link here. | 10:41 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: have you did sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get dist-update | 10:41 |
| Tiede | @flashman5 we don't know what your problem is... tried tossing it out the window? | 10:41 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: on mixed env still ssh+vnc.. its pretty simple, and you can share desktop with vnc in ubunut and windows | 10:41 |
| insmod | <cypha>remove the package | 10:41 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: no, should i ? | 10:41 |
| BrixSat | Hello | 10:42 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: in ubuntu just mark x to allow sharing desktop and in windows you need to install tightvnc server/realvnc server | 10:42 |
| bloo | are u talkin to me | 10:42 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: yes, i would at least try , maybe some update are there: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-update | 10:42 |
| BrixSat | is there any way to connect to a machine and administer like team viewer or log me in? | 10:42 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: there are other option to that server stuff too.. but i dont have experience using that windows own system | 10:42 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: yes, i would at least try , maybe some update are there: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:43 |
| SunnyD | norpan: sorry | 10:43 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: yeah its done | 10:43 |
| tiyowan | AdvoWork: If you want to ssh in from a windows box, you could always use cygwin as a quick shell. | 10:43 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: dist-update could not be done | 10:43 |
| norpan111 | omg its in swedish i dont how to translate | 10:43 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: im not 100% if windows own desktop sharing can be used with open source client.. | 10:44 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: dist-upgrade | 10:44 |
| norpan111 | oh | 10:44 |
| koshari | simplexio you can use tightvnc | 10:44 |
| flashman5 | @Tiede: I'm pretty sure it will be the next step:) As I wrote about 5 minutes before I try to boot ubuntu netbook remix from pendrive on an aspire one to install the OS but it freezes at the starting screen where you select to install ubuntu, no response to keyboard | 10:44 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: ther is 0 to upgrade and install | 10:44 |
| norpan111 | so im all up-to-date SunnyD | 10:44 |
| hateball | norpan111: also, there (at least used to) be a bug with the swedish translation, where it says to press "J/N" but it only accepts Y.... | 10:44 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: that suxxx brother | 10:45 |
| norpan111 | hateball: ok but i always press y anyway:P | 10:45 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: usually dmesg tells some information on what went wrong | 10:45 |
| koshari | flashman5 are you sure your pendrive is bootable, ie have you tried a different iso with unetbootin? | 10:45 |
| norpan111 | SunnyD: did you read my dmesg? | 10:45 |
| Tiede | @flashman5 have you checked the md5sums to make sure it's ok? | 10:45 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, its just ubuntu - ubuntu which is nice, what do you mean by: in ubuntu just mark x to allow sharing desktop? | 10:45 |
| norpan111 | flashman5: have you tried the usb live creator? | 10:46 |
| flashman5 | the strange thing is that I have tried it in my laptop and it booted fine, the live ubuntu started correctly, so the pendrive should be ok | 10:46 |
| SunnyD | norpan111: i tried, i am no pro @ gnu/linux | 10:46 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: its in desktop setting if i recall right | 10:46 |
| flashman5 | but when I try in the aspire one it doesnt even gives me the language selector screen, just gives the freezed starting options | 10:47 |
| norpan111 | Is there somebody that is "pro" that could read my dmesg ? | 10:47 |
| simplexio | AdvoWork: setting -> user setting -> desktop setting or something | 10:47 |
| norpan111 | Is there anyone that can read my dmesg to figure out why my whole session crashes when i start Xchat? | 10:49 |
| Tiede | @norpan111 your dmesg does not provide any crash info | 10:49 |
| norpan111 | ok | 10:49 |
| insmod | anyone wanna tell me if something works? | 10:49 |
| norpan111 | Well i had to restart computer when i start xchat | 10:49 |
| koshari | flashman5 what bios boot option did you choose? | 10:49 |
| norpan111 | as soon as start xchat the whole screen turns like a puzzel | 10:49 |
| SunnyD | Tiede: what will provide crash info then ? /etc/log/* ? | 10:50 |
| SunnyD | insmod: sure go | 10:50 |
| insmod | http://24.150.99.142/player.html or any payer eg gmpalyer http://24.150.99.142:8080 | 10:51 |
| norpan111 | Why does my screen turns into a puzzle when i start XCHAT? | 10:51 |
| flashman5 | @koshari: I see the pendrive in the bios as USB FDD | 10:51 |
| Tiede | @SunnyD maybe... or /var/log/... best bet is thru the apport, or running the program from the command line. | 10:52 |
| koshari | flashman5 its not a usb fdd, | 10:52 |
| norpan111 | Tiede: but as soon as i run the program the screen turns inthingo a puzzle and crashes everyt | 10:52 |
| SunnyD | insmod: wow works great | 10:52 |
| flashman5 | ?? | 10:52 |
| zeeble | hi. anyone know of a GUI frontend for ffmpeg that works to convert mpg to different formats, including flv? | 10:52 |
| insmod | great thatnks in html or gmplayer etc | 10:52 |
| koshari | flashman5 can you change it to usb hdd or something more relevent, itas not going to boot under floppy emulation | 10:53 |
| SunnyD | insmod: i thought it was a radio station :D so ia dded it to my radio player | 10:53 |
| norpan111 | Tiede: so im unable to read from terminal | 10:53 |
| SunnyD | insmod: then i tried the firefox | 10:53 |
| insmod | <SunnyD>did firefox work? | 10:54 |
| flashman5 | koshari: how can I change it? it just recognises it as USB FDD | 10:54 |
| SunnyD | insmod: yes , still working, i see guitars | 10:54 |
| insmod | lol | 10:54 |
| Tiede | @norpan111 try piping the output to a file on the desktop and break out of X... ( command >> ~/Desktop/filename) | 10:54 |
| koshari | flashman5 i dont know i have only ever booted an acer one on a usb cdrom on a guy at works acer one | 10:54 |
| mrvdv | how can i make a sub domain like whateva.mrvdv.com go to a certain folder on my server ? | 10:54 |
| insmod | <SunnyD>can you hear audio | 10:54 |
| norpan111 | Tiede: i dont know how to do that | 10:55 |
| SunnyD | insmod: there is audio ? but i see error message at bottom : | 10:55 |
| norpan111 | like | 10:55 |
| Tiede | @norpan111 command >> ~/Desktop/filename | 10:55 |
| norpan111 | "xchat ~/desktop/filename" Tiede ? | 10:55 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, basically ive got the ip of the pc now. can i not just ssh to that machine from mine, or do i still have to mess with the client? | 10:56 |
| Tiede | @norpan111 xchat >> ~/Desktop/filename | 10:56 |
| SunnyD | insmod: i can hear you now | 10:56 |
| norpan111 | so i nead the >> | 10:56 |
| ThorsonB | anyone up | 10:56 |
| insmod | <SunnyD>ya i rewrote the vlc code -- can you hear | 10:56 |
| AdvoWork | simplexio, actually I just get connection refused | 10:56 |
| Tiede | yes, norpan111 , you need it. other wise, it won't work. | 10:57 |
| norpan111 | ok | 10:57 |
| insmod | <SunnyD>better | 10:57 |
| flashman5 | does anyone know how to change a netbooks settings so that it will see the pendrive as USB HDD instead of USB FDD? Can that cause the boot problem anyway? | 10:57 |
| norpan111 | "the file or catalog does not exist" | 10:57 |
| norpan111 | omg | 10:57 |
| ThorsonB | How do I install XAMMP? | 10:58 |
| Tiede | @norpan111 hmm... ok... that's me befuddled... | 10:58 |
| norpan111 | Tiede: i even created i file on desktop | 10:59 |
| norpan111 | argh | 10:59 |
| cypha | tiyowan: dpgk command not found | 10:59 |
| Tiede | i am confused... is "the file or catalogue does not exist" the content of that file? | 10:59 |
| supersasho | hi.. sometimes in arecord -l i don't have listed my usb webcam microphone, any idea why? it can be "repaired" by rebooting, but this is an anoying solution | 11:00 |
| Tiede | @cypha it's dpkg | 11:00 |
| tiyowan | cypha: It's dp*kg* -l | grep ggl | 11:01 |
| norpan111_ | Tiede: it crashed now when i tried to resize firefox to | 11:01 |
| norpan111_ | what in the name of god is happening? | 11:01 |

| alex___ | hi! I'm trying to connect to a device with telnet but the \n must be different, because I can connect with HyperTerminal (windows), but I always receive an error when I send a command from linux telnet.

| cypha | ok, nothing happened when i wrote it this time | 11:03 |
| cypha | no output | 11:03 |
| Tiede | @norpan111 there must be something missing from your install. If you have the default ubuntu (with Gnome) in a terminal, type sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop && apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 11:03 |

| znh_ | I'd like to put Ubuntu on this USB device.. Is there an IMG file that I can use? I've only seen one for Netbooks. I know the option of installing it from CD. Yet I can't do that at the moment. | 11:08 |
| SunnyD | [nrx]: looks like you might have static IP or static default gateway still in there ? | 11:09 |
| [nrx] | Tiede, I guess it's possible but i'm running firefox in both Linux and the others with no problems. I've been to other hotels and not had this problem. It's got me flumaxed | 11:09 |
| [nrx] | SunnyD, I thought that too but nope. I've tried with the wired connection and wireless - both set the correct IP's and DNS via DHCP so no problems there | 11:10 |

| koshari | open ttydev: Permission denied | 11:12 |
| [nrx] | Tiede, SunnyD: From what I can remember, it doesn't seem to give me a proper connection. Yes, it's connected to the network and I have an address assigned as well as the DNS servers etc however I can't ping any IP on the network (including the default router, DNS etc) It comes back with destination unknown or similar (can't remember, was last night :) ) | 11:12 |
| znh_ | haffe, that's why I need an IMG file | 11:13 |
| haffe | znh_: iso to img should be a trivial conversion | 11:13 |
| znh_ | haffe, but would i twork? | 11:14 |
| mrvdv | whats better to use. redhat 9 or ubuntu 9 | 11:14 |

| norpan111_ | As soon as i start xchat or resize a window, the screen turn into a puzzle and i get logged out. | 11:24 |

| AdvoWork | whatvn, all it does is ask this question: -en Where is the linux source build directory [/lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/build]: i left it <ENTER> and then it says Done! | 11:42 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: which apps are you compiling? | 11:43 |
| Spike1506 | i recently start to use evolution mail, previously i used thunderbird so i removed some evolution stuff from services and my session | 11:43 |
| Spike1506 | but now it doesnt show a notification when a new mail arrives | 11:44 |
| Spike1506 | altough its turned on in preferences | 11:44 |
| carpii | natschil, ok thanks for the advice. I hadnt thought about bios settings | 11:44 |
| AdvoWork | its logging software to record database entries etc, not ideally meant for that but thats the idea for now. | 11:44 |
| ManiDhillon | Is there a way to remove your key from ubuntu key server if you possess the original e-mail address attached to the key? | 11:44 |
| norpan111_ | my session crash when compiz is activated and i resize firefox and start xchat, i get logged out | 11:45 |
| norpan111_ | As soon as i do such thing | 11:45 |
| vorpatril | @# | 11:45 |
| natschil | carpii: might not be an actual bios setting, but a bug in the bios | 11:45 |
| carpii | oic | 11:46 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: I don't have enough information to try to help | 11:46 |
| carpii | it seems specific to ubuntu though. I used to run windows xp without these problems | 11:46 |
| AdvoWork | whatvn, nm.thanks for the help though. Is there any other loggin type software out there? keystroke wise for dumb logging, all output? | 11:47 |
| erUSUL | ManiDhillon: no; it is imposible to "delete" a gpg key from the servers... if you do not want to continue using it you have to revoke it | 11:47 |
| === Guest_475 is now known as RizwanIkram | ||
| Spike1506 | anyone knows howto restore those things? :) | 11:48 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: some thing likes syslog? | 11:48 |
| whatvn | !syslog | 11:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about syslog | 11:48 |
| owen1 | i try to use logitech desktop mic with ubuntu. anyone have this mic and can tell if it's working with ubuntu? | 11:48 |
| ManiDhillon | erUSUL, but pgp keyserver has this option then why not ubuntu key server | 11:48 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows | 11:49 |
| norpan111_ | ? | 11:49 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: tell me exactly what you want to do? | 11:49 |
| erUSUL | ManiDhillon: never heard of that option... but the point still remains your key is "out in the wild" now many users may have it in their keyrings it could have benn upñoaded to other servers etc. the only way to invalidate it is to revoke it afaics | 11:50 |
| ManiDhillon | erUSUl, only two people has the key but they haven't synced it. | 11:50 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? | 11:51 |
| norpan111_ | i dont use compiz | 11:51 |
| hoohaah | what's the best way to manually configure wireless connections so as to avoid network manager? | 11:52 |
| uSynx | I cannot get visudo to work, i added 'user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/fixmtrr.sh' and it still asks for a password when i try and sudo it | 11:52 |
| erUSUL | ManiDhillon: if it is in the key server how do you know only two people has it ? anyway i can not help becouse i dunno how to do what you want (delete key from the server) | 11:52 |
| hoohaah | or at least, is there a way to manually configure (through conf files) gnome network manager? | 11:52 |
| erUSUL | hoohaah: man interfaces | 11:52 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz | 11:52 |
| AdvoWork | whatvn, we need to log all keystrokes/everything for one certain pc on our network | 11:52 |
| ManiDhillon | erUSUL, thanks for your time sir! | 11:52 |
| erUSUL | ManiDhillon: no problem | 11:52 |
| raul_ | join #ubuntu-es | 11:52 |
| hoohaah | erUSUL: I'm competent with the file while in Debian, but it appears Ubuntu won't accept similar stanzas or device descriptions | 11:52 |
| hoohaah | eg. something like auto wlan0 | 11:53 |
| RizwanIkram | nano /etc/network/interfaces | 11:53 |
| hoohaah | only stanzas for lo0 | 11:53 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz | 11:53 |
| erUSUL | hoohaah: it should (but never triedi in recent ubuntu) work exactly the same way | 11:53 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: splunk is right way to go. http://www.splunk.com/download?ac=adwords-syslog&_kk=syslog%20server&_kt=c1da46f2-6440-4436-a572-ab4adb0dc656&gclid=CKOatM-C_ZoCFZUvpAodrFStdA | 11:53 |
| hoohaah | erUSUL: I just tried in 9.04 | 11:53 |
| hoohaah | essentially I'm trying to replicate http://pastebin.com/f21dcd154 | 11:54 |
| hoohaah | which works on my debian config | 11:54 |
| hoohaah | i understand that udev requires a rule for the ra0 issue, but that'sreally a nobrainer | 11:55 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz | 11:55 |
| hoohaah | and the pre-up,post-down stuff I can move to if-*/ dir hooks | 11:55 |
| hoohaah | it's basically the ethernet descriptor that isn't being recognised | 11:55 |
| erUSUL | hoohaah: you have the ra0 interface in ubuntu ? | 11:56 |
| hoohaah | there isn't much variance b/w ubuntu version and debian sid version of interfaces, so it leads me to believe that it's Ubuntu's automation that's interfering | 11:56 |
| uSynx | I cannot get visudo to work, i added 'user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/fixmtrr.sh' and it still asks for a password when i try and sudo it | 11:56 |
| hoohaah | erUSUL: as i said, wlan0 doesn't work. ra0 I can generate with appropriate udev rule. no problem there | 11:56 |
| hoohaah | bah, i'll just remove gnome-network-manager | 11:57 |
| new | hi.. im new to ubuntu os.. anyone can point me to where i can help from? | 11:58 |
| coz_ | new, you can get help here :) | 11:58 |

| Madsy | new: Here, and ubuntuforums.org | 11:58 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: what group is user in? | 11:58 |
| Madsy | The SEGA emulator dgen has been broken since 1.23-10. Anyone know of a workaround? The filed bug launchpad is pretty much a dead end. | 11:59 |
| new | thanks.. | 11:59 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz | 11:59 |
| Madsy | Launching a game ends with a SIGSEGV, but without debugging info I can't debug it either. | 11:59 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: user is in group user | 11:59 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: maybe add to sudo group? | 12:00 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: usermod -a -G sudo $USER | 12:00 |
| hoohaah | and re-login for effect | 12:01 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: will try thanks | 12:01 |
| hoohaah | Madsy: there's no dgen-dbg package? | 12:01 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz. | 12:01 |
| hoohaah | Madsy: ah appears not | 12:02 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: score i didn't add the -a and have not removed my only account from sudo privs | 12:04 |
| uSynx | :( | 12:04 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: oops! | 12:04 |
| jimmyr | anyone using vmware fusion or ubuntu 9.03 on the new macbook pro? | 12:04 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: is this the admin user? | 12:05 |
| jimmyr | 9.04 | 12:05 |
| Spike1506 | evolution doesnt show a notification on a new message | 12:05 |
| Spike1506 | altough its turned on in preferences | 12:05 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: yup the default ubuntu desktop user | 12:05 |
| Spike1506 | howto fix that | 12:05 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: with no su access :( | 12:05 |
| uSynx | haha | 12:05 |
| hoohaah | what are you gonna do? | 12:06 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: any ideas on a way around? a re-install is not out of the question though as i just did a fresh install | 12:06 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz | 12:07 |
| uSynx | strangely enough ive not been able to get sudoers to work on centos either | 12:07 |
| Guthur | i solved the keyring issue if anyone is interested :), the reason was that i had change the display manager to KDE's, changing back to GDM stopped ubuntu prompting for the keyring password | 12:07 |
| Guthur | i've grown attached to gnome though, KDE is a bit to 'busy' for me | 12:08 |
| rob_p | uSynx, If you haven't enabled the root account (best practice is to leave it disabled), then you will probably need to boot in single user mode and fix your user account from the single user root console. | 12:08 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: so what groups is user in now? | 12:09 |
| hoohaah | only sudo? | 12:09 |
| justin007 | On my Ubuntu Jaunty, the command "git svn clone" command is freezing the system after some progress. Hard reboot is the only option, this behaviour was reproduced on my friends laptop. | 12:09 |
| mrvdv | whats better to use. ubuntu 9 or redhat 9 | 12:09 |
| hoohaah | mrvdv: better answer lies in redhat irc channel | 12:09 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: see i didn't seen anything listed in /etc/passwd but i duno, its the default admin user for ubuntu desktop | 12:09 |
| bazhang | !ot > mrvdv | 12:09 |
| ubottu | mrvdv, please see my private message | 12:09 |
| natschil | hello, does anyone know how do mount a pgpdisk file ( .pgd) under ubuntu? | 12:10 |
| rameshwor | i hope redhat if you wanna be linux geek. | 12:10 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: groups | 12:10 |
| hoohaah | so you logged out and in, then? | 12:10 |
| uSynx | looks like both sudo and user | 12:10 |
| uSynx | strange | 12:10 |
| uSynx | when i try and sudo it says i dont have auto | 12:10 |
| mib_y0s4gc | i opened a screen session in a machine. how do i attach it to it from another machine | 12:10 |
| uSynx | err auth and will be logged | 12:10 |
| Guthur | justin007 git svn seems to work for me on jaunty | 12:10 |
| hoohaah | well you must've accidently replaced all supplimentary groups with sudo, right? | 12:11 |
| justin007 | There's no log anywhere suggestion what causes this freeze, tried clonning with both wired and wireless. on different partitions, on to usb external drive. and on different computer. "git svn clone" on jaunty freezes the computer | 12:11 |
| brabo | mib_y0s4gc Ctrl-a d to detach, screen -r to resaume | 12:11 |
| hoohaah | *supplementary | 12:11 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: yup | 12:11 |
| justin007 | Guthur: have you tried clonning. | 12:11 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: as i didn | 12:11 |
| uSynx | err | 12:11 |
| Guthur | justin007 ya it was my first operation :) | 12:11 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: as i didn't use the -a switch | 12:11 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: can you still do any sudo actions? | 12:11 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: doesn't look like it | 12:12 |
| hoohaah | do have have a term somwhere where you're still logged in? | 12:12 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: nope | 12:12 |
| mib_y0s4gc | i get the followoing messages when i do it | 12:12 |
| Guthur | justin007 i not sure what the issue could be, it did just seem to work for me | 12:12 |
| mib_y0s4gc | screen -r There are screens on: 3210.tty6.newton (Attached) 3315.pts-1.newton (Attached) There is no screen to be resumed. | 12:12 |
| justin007 | Guthur: i confirmed that git svn operations except "clone" is working, could reprodude on my friends system as well. what was the size of the repo you clone. | 12:12 |
| * natschil hates pgpdisk | 12:12 | |
| uSynx | hoohaah: i could do single user but i dont know what other groups i was susposed to belong to | 12:12 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: a reinstall is not that bad though so i may just do that | 12:12 |
| mib_y0s4gc | when i do ps ; i see screen process running | 12:12 |
| d22 | hi all | 12:12 |
| Guthur | justin007 it was only about 6-7mb | 12:12 |
| brabo | mib_y0s4gc fist you need to detach the screen with ctrl-a d | 12:12 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: adm and admin, at least | 12:12 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: yeah, i was about to suggest emergency mode | 12:12 |
| hoohaah | vi /etc/group | 12:12 |
| brabo | mib_y0s4gc or you can connect with screen -x | 12:12 |
| rob_p | uSynx, In order to use sudo, you need to be in the admin group. If you removed yourself from that group, you will need single user mode to fix it. | 12:12 |
| justin007 | Guthur: that could be it.. my repo was around 32 MB. | 12:13 |
| Guthur | justin007 are you see any progress with the repo download | 12:13 |
| uSynx | rob_p: rgr thanks | 12:13 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: hangon I just did a fresh install too, I'll see which groups i'm in | 12:13 |
| uSynx | thanks | 12:13 |
| uSynx | rob_p: what do i need to do to init into single user? | 12:13 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 12:13 |
| MorbrorFultjack | is it possible to save /home when you have to install other os like win? | 12:13 |
| rob_p | uSynx, All you have to do is mak your user a member of admin and your user's group. | 12:13 |
| uSynx | sweet | 12:13 |
| justin007 | yes.. there is.. it progresses to varying degress, but ultimately it freezes. | 12:13 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: at grub menu selection | 12:13 |
| uSynx | rgr | 12:13 |
| hoohaah | there should be an entry there | 12:13 |
| Guthur | justin007 i was using a remote repo, sourceforge svn, you could maybe try a small one for there, just to test | 12:13 |
| rob_p | uSynx, Those are the default groups the user belongs to. | 12:14 |
| justin007 | Guthur: I reproduced consistently. | 12:14 |
| uSynx | rob_p: thanks | 12:14 |
| rob_p | uSynx, No need to re-install. | 12:14 |
| rob_p | :-) | 12:14 |
| hoohaah | question, I did a fresh install recently. The installer detected my windows partition, and _seemingly_ migrated user profiles to linux (I noticed cool scroll activity of copy progression from user paths in Windows) | 12:14 |
| Guthur | justin007 are you maybe trying to download to a protected file location? | 12:14 |
| hoohaah | where exactly are these profiles stored? | 12:15 |
| d22 | maybe a stupid question, but anyway: if i pay for commercial support from cannonical, is the price of 750$ per server per year, or only per year for unlimited servers? | 12:15 |
| hoohaah | well, where are they saved too | 12:15 |
| hoohaah | *to | 12:15 |
| mib_y0s4gc | why i get only half the screen | 12:15 |
| justin007 | Guthur: NO, I tried with different partitions, then onto USB disk(to rule out ext4) then with wired and wireless.. its consistent. | 12:15 |
| drcode | hi all | 12:15 |
| Guthur | this is the exact command i used ~$ git svn clone https://azure-is.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/azure-is azure-is | 12:15 |
| drcode | I try to load script at boot | 12:15 |
| justin007 | Guthur: then I tried on my friends system and there too it frooze.. after some time before completing. | 12:16 |
| mib_y0s4gc | i need full screen at the other pc. i do screen -x pid | 12:16 |
| drcode | I place the script in /etc/rc5.d/S99Local | 12:16 |
| drcode | it dosn't seems to load? | 12:16 |
| Guthur | justin007 see my comment above i forgot to add you name | 12:16 |
| sheep73482_ipod | im trying to install ubuntu on a fresh hdd but it keeps crashing. what can i do? | 12:16 |
| Guthur | justin007 I am using Ext-4 as well | 12:16 |
| justin007 | Guthur: ok, let me try that now. | 12:16 |
| Guthur | justin007 i hope it does freeze your system :p | 12:17 |
| justin007 | Guthur: will try same command now. | 12:17 |
| Guthur | doesn't | 12:17 |
| brabo | mib_y0s4gc that's because it it still atached on another terminal.. that's why the format doesn't adapt, so detach the aother session first with ctrl-a d | 12:17 |
| sheep73482_ipod | hello? | 12:17 |
| mib_y0s4gc | brabo: i dont understand when you say that | 12:18 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: ok think i got it fixed haha | 12:18 |
| justin007 | Guthur: it is progressing. | 12:18 |
| sheep73482_ipod | wait.. might work this time | 12:18 |
| mib_y0s4gc | the problem is i connect to a server. my telnet session keeps breaking because of network related issue. so i run a screen program in server and try to attach it to | 12:18 |
| Guthur | justin007 cool, is that further than it got before then? maybe its you repo that is suspect | 12:19 |
| AdvoWork | whatvn, ive installed that but cant see anything todo with keylogger? | 12:19 |
| Jyxt | anyone know whats going on with this acpid bug? i told ubuntu not to update the acpid, but everytime i install or do an update it attempts to upgrade acpid and bugs out | 12:19 |
| mib_y0s4gc | ii run screen in server. and screen -x in my client | 12:19 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: ok i can sudo now, but its still asking for a password for the script i put in sudoers | 12:19 |
| coldhead | does the release of jaunty mean that older versions like jaunty are now frozen and won't see non-security updates like firefox 3.5 ? | 12:19 |
| coldhead | older versions like intrepid* | 12:19 |
| justin007 | Guthur: my repo could be the suspect, but will it kill my system? | 12:19 |
| justin007 | Guthur: and that of my friend? | 12:19 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i dont use compiz | 12:20 |
| justin007 | Guthur: :-) | 12:20 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: why keylogger is needed? | 12:20 |
| Guthur | justin007 thats not my project by the way, but i'm sure they wont mind, i'm not sure i only used it for the first time yesterday | 12:20 |
| pkkm | how to kill hung up X on virtual console accesible from Ctrl+Alt+F9 ? | 12:20 |
| carpii | norpan111_, maybe itd be better to say what you DO use? gnome.kde etc ? | 12:20 |
| Guthur | justin007 it is worrying that it can kill your system though :| | 12:20 |
| coldhead | pkkm: sudo killall gdm | 12:20 |
| norpan111_ | carpii: i use gnome | 12:20 |
| carpii | pkkm, find the pid from 'ps aux' then kill -9 <pid> | 12:21 |
| rameshwor | anyone suggest a distro for me. ( but not mini distros ) 256 mb RAM and 735 Mhz processor . please.....ubuntu 8.10 didn't run that good.. can i get it with xfce ? it can run well ??? | 12:21 |
| justin007 | Guthur: I thought so as well, and my friends as well. | 12:21 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i use gnome without compiz | 12:21 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: user information is not something sysadmin need to know | 12:21 |
| Jyxt | or why when im using gnome it wants to install this kde bug fix for acpid | 12:21 |
| coldhead | rameshwor: crunchbang! | 12:21 |
| drcode | any idea? | 12:21 |
| Guthur | justin007 you could try #git for answers | 12:21 |
| Jyxt | rameshwor look up xubuntu its the xfce version | 12:21 |
| rameshwor | what's that crunchbag ? distro ? ? | 12:21 |
| brabo | mib_y0s4gc on the server you issue in screen the key combination ctrl-a d that detaches your session | 12:22 |
| brabo | the you do the same on client side and the on client side screen -r | 12:22 |
| justin007 | Guthus: ok clonning is done.. so this repo is fine, to rule out the size of the repo my friend is clonning the Kde repo :-) | 12:22 |
| rameshwor | can i get canonical to ship me xubuntu ? ? my internt is not good downloading takes days | 12:22 |
| Guthur | justin007 its either a svn or git issue | 12:22 |
| d22 | rameshwor: its crunshbaNg not bag | 12:22 |
| hoohaah | what's the difference between adm group and admin group anyway? | 12:22 |
| justin007 | Guthur: ok clonning is done.. so this repo is fine, to rule out the size of the repo my friend is clonning the Kde repo :-) | 12:22 |
| coldhead | rameshwor: its a lightweight distro based on ubuntu. it would be perfect on your system | 12:22 |
| carpii | norpan, see the replies to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5075/ | 12:22 |
| d22 | rameshwor: http://crunchbanglinux.org/ | 12:22 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: still a nogo on the sudoers stuff but sudo is working again | 12:23 |
| === DaZ| is now known as DaZ | ||
| Guthur | justin007 #git are pretty helpful, they sorted a wee problem i had yesterday | 12:23 |
| Jyxt | rameshwor: or you could go with gentoo and install your own light weight wm like fluxbox | 12:23 |
| AdvoWork | whatvn, so splunk wont log keystrokes? | 12:23 |
| d22 | maybe a stupid question, but anyway: if i pay for commercial support from cannonical, is the price of 750$ per server per year, or only per year for unlimited servers? | 12:23 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: did ya add yourself to sudo group again? | 12:23 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: yup | 12:23 |
| pkkm | coldhead: I don't want to kill all x'es. | carpii: what's the process name? | 12:23 |
| justin007 | Guthur: am a little naive for #git I guess. | 12:23 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: it will, if you setup a keylogger to send information to it | 12:24 |
| carpii | pkkm, i dont know. it should be obvious though. try passing -H to ps aux and itll show a hierarchy tree | 12:24 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: its still asking for a password though... proper sudoers is 'user ALL=NOPASSWD:/cmd' no? | 12:24 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: I think keylogger is a client-side tool | 12:24 |
| Guthur | justin007 nah don't worry, it could have easily been a ubuntu issue too ;) | 12:24 |
| AdvoWork | whatvn, such as? cant find anything though | 12:24 |
| rameshwo | sorry guys, my internet is not so good so i frequently get disconnected.. | 12:25 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: silly question, but what's the last line of sudoers | 12:25 |
| rameshwo | thanks for the one who suggested crunchbang.... based on ubuntu ... | 12:25 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: if it's (ALL) ALL, that overrides everything set in the file | 12:25 |
| rameshwo | or , can i get any older distros of ubuntu ? how about that ?? | 12:26 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: I never use keylogger. so I dont have any idea. but if you decide to use keylogger, you must manually install it on every client computer | 12:26 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: yeah, that's the right syntax | 12:26 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: give me a sec ill check | 12:26 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: although I'm used to having %group instead of USER | 12:26 |
| justin007 | Guthur: I think the difference could be an error message am getting before the clonning starts (apart from the size difference) | 12:26 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, ubuntu with lxde is very light | 12:26 |
| Guthur | justin007 what is the error? | 12:26 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: and using keylogger means steal user information, which is never recommended by myself | 12:26 |
| rameshwo | bazhang thanks..... i'll see it in google.. | 12:26 |
| norpan111_ | Can u disable the black boarders/trace around when minimizing windows? i use gnome but not compiz | 12:27 |
| justin007 | Guthur: W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: '/svn/sw/!svn/bc/100/trunk/nms' path not found | 12:27 |
| hoohaah | bazhang: are there any tradeoffs? did you disable a majority of the gnome-dameons? | 12:27 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, sudo apt-get install lxde (once you have ubuntu installed) | 12:27 |
| pkkm | carpii: This: 'pawel 4217 0.0 0.2 191456 9808 ? Ssl 13:16 0:00 x-session-manager' ? | 12:27 |
| norpan111_ | Its the default if you disable compiz, see for yourself, its really ugly | 12:27 |
| hoohaah | *daemons | 12:27 |
| justin007 | Guthur: W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history. | 12:27 |
| justin007 | Guthur: those two lines but then it starts clonning is what I can see. | 12:27 |
| j^ | is there a way to make the desktop more responsive while copying files? jaunty seams to be really bad at copying some files and doing anything else, like loading a webpage at the same time | 12:27 |
| rameshwo | bazhang: MY INTERNET IS DIAL_UP . IT TAKES ME HOURS N HOURS.. | 12:27 |
| AdvoWork | whatvn, its needed for the company, with full director permission, ui just cant find anything | 12:28 |
| * hoohaah covers his ears | 12:28 | |
| zetheroo | is there a support channel for WINE? | 12:28 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, get a disk from shipit then and install lxde after | 12:28 |
| norpan111_ | zetheroo: google | 12:28 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: yup last line is %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL so i need to put my ish after that no? | 12:28 |
| hoohaah | zetheroo: #winehq | 12:28 |
| coldhead | rameshwo: try getting crunchbang via bittorrent. its just a single cd iso | 12:28 |
| brabo | ramesho get DSL (dhamn small linux) it's only 50 mb afaik | 12:28 |
| bazhang | hoohaah, not sure about gnome-dameons | 12:28 |
| bazhang | err daemons | 12:28 |
| zetheroo | hoohaah: thank you | 12:28 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: yeah | 12:28 |
| norpan111_ | Can anyone help me with this one? | 12:28 |
| whatvn | AdvoWork: sorry, in this case...I cannot help | 12:28 |
| rameshwo | can i get shipit to ship me ubuntu without gnome, . with lxde or xfce ??? | 12:28 |
| coldhead | shipit takes 5 years | 12:29 |
| Guthur | justin007 there is possibly some corruption, the #git guys should definitely have more info on something like that, i've only started using it recently so not much experience of possible problems, there is 500+ in that channel so someone is likely to have the knowledge, they are reasonably friendly too :) | 12:29 |
| norpan111_ | I try to disable this ugly black borders that traces a window when minimized if compiz is disabled | 12:29 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: actually I'm not too sure with that one :) I've never tried it | 12:29 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: it might work | 12:29 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, let me check that | 12:29 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: ill let you know trying it now | 12:29 |
| rameshwo | no.. i got it in 3 weeks. i'm from nepal.. | 12:29 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: ill bet thats why i cant get it to work in centos either | 12:29 |
| brabo | ramesho or download debien netinst cd , it's only 150 MB or so.. | 12:29 |
| hoohaah | zetheroo: yw | 12:29 |
| norpan111_ | yay | 12:29 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: heh | 12:29 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, just Ubuntu and Kubuntu afaik; installing lxde is very fast though | 12:29 |
| d22 | maybe a stupid question, but anyway: if i pay for commercial support from cannonical, is the price of 750$ per server per year, or only per year for unlimited servers? | 12:30 |
| rameshwo | ok i'll try it....thanks bazhang | 12:30 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, there is also the minimal installer (9mbs) iso | 12:30 |
| justin007 | Guthur: allright.. let me try there. because apart from these two warning (I guess) there's no other difference. and just now my friend reproduced once again. and Kde svn repo clonning is progressing without issues. so it has to be this | 12:30 |
| bazhang | !minimal | rameshwo | 12:30 |
| ubottu | rameshwo: 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 | 12:30 |
| Guthur | justin007 sounds like svn corruption alright | 12:31 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: well done!! thanks much that fixed it | 12:31 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: glad to hear it ;) | 12:31 |
| [Crussd2] | hi all ;) | 12:31 |
| * [Crussd2] nice to know you :) | 12:31 | |
| coldhead | is there a linux program to spray desktop.ini files all through my filesystem like in windows? | 12:31 |
| hoohaah | uSynx: at least now you've familiarized yourself with options for that other command :) | 12:31 |
| norpan111_ | My computer seems to run more faster and responsive with "extra" desktop effects | 12:31 |
| justin007 | Guthur: yes.. but svn is working fine against this repo, no issues I have been working with svn and the repo for almost 3 years now. wanted to learn git and thats when I get this | 12:31 |
| norpan111_ | I dont want the wobble windows etc | 12:31 |
| hoohaah | coldhead: skeleton files | 12:32 |
| norpan111_ | But i still want my computer to run pretty fast :P | 12:32 |
| uSynx | hoohaah: now i just need to fix this f'ing horrible video shutter on my aspire one and ill be good to go | 12:32 |

| norpan111_ | jrib yeah i really dont like the wobble windows :P | 12:32 |

| jrib | !ccsm | norpan111_ | 12:32 |

| Guthur | justin007 well if you get a definite answer i would actually be interested in knowing it, if that is ok | 12:33 |

| Titan8990 | hoohaah, i was guess "users" and "audio" | 12:37 |

| rob_p | hoohaah, In Ubuntu, at least 8.04, the user belongs to only the user's group, unless it is the first user, which is also in group admin. That seems to be the default here on my 8.04 box. | 12:40 |
| grawity | gartral: ...so just create keys with ssh-keygen and add to authorized_keys if needed | 12:40 |
| gartral | hoohaah: right, but I can't log in to those accounts... how doi i do that from mine with sudo | 12:41 |
| === kitteh is now known as kitten | ||
| hoohaah | gartral: you can use ssh-keygen to create specifically-named keys | 12:41 |
| grawity | gartral: sudo -u anotheruser -i | 12:41 |

| grawity | gartral: ls -l <--- that's a lowercase L | 12:48 |
| hoohaah | The_warlock: pretty subjective. if you need locale support, not all support it | 12:48 |
| The_warlock | grawity: yes...i find that the fonts on gnome are not sharp enough | 12:48 |
| SandGorgon | and independent of gnome or kde | 12:48 |
| brabo | The_warlock i use aterm, it has neat features ^^ | 12:48 |

| daurnimator | hey all | 13:56 |
| daurnimator | need some help | 13:56 |
| erUSUL | Ojii: ok if you did that your question should be more specific than just "How to use SCIM" you should have tried what the dosc say and something is failing. What have you tried how and what is failing? etc... | 13:56 |
| erUSUL | !details | Ojii | 13:56 |
| ubottu | Ojii: 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 ..." | 13:56 |

| erUSUL | !work | Ojii | 13:56 |
| ubottu | Ojii: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 13:56 |

| bazhang | Ojii, you will need to restart scim for it to work | 14:01 |
| Ojii | bazhang: i did installed them through system->admin->language support and searched for 'useful' stuff in synaptic | 14:01 |
| Gourlis | erusul, it has. but doesn't work as execution as the other, it opens as a text editor | 14:01 |
| Ojii | bazhang: restarting it is just exiting it and start it with 'sudo scim -d' right? | 14:01 |
| bazhang | Ojii, did you try right clicking in the irc text entry field | 14:01 |
| Ojii | bazhang: because i did that dozend of times (just did it again) and doesn't work | 14:02 |

| piXelshooter | Hi. I have a problem: My notebook does not boot from the Live CD I burned. My Desktop PC does. But my notebook boots from, for example, knoppix or windows cd. What could be the reason for it not booting from ubuntu cd/dvd (and for example also damn small linux dvd), although my PC does? | 14:09 |
| mansour | please i need help about xmpp http client can any one giv me any idea | 14:09 |
| bazhang | !xampp | 14:09 |
| ubottu | We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 14:09 |
| moldy | racecar56: thanks, i know a dozend of alternatives to gnome-terminal, but i would like to know how i disable a darn keybinding in gnome-terminal... | 14:09 |
| sean2009 | piXelshooter, i installed my ubuntu from an external dvd drive as my internal one wouldn't boot either | 14:10 |
| moldy | it shows some keys as "disabled", so there must be a away to disable them? | 14:10 |
| hoohaah | moldy: you'd use gconftool-2 tool | 14:11 |
| hoohaah | moldy: eg gconftool-2 -t str -s /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/copy "<Control>c" | 14:11 |
| bazhang | piXelshooter, sounds like a bad/corrupt iso or a faulty cd | 14:11 |
| moldy | hoohaah: there is no easier way? you can change them via the gui, but you cannot disable them? | 14:11 |
| hoohaah | moldy: you can modify the other keybindings via menu | 14:11 |
| hoohaah | moldy: try blanking them out? | 14:12 |
| jakeriver | does anyone know why mozilla firefox is collapsing in my new ubuntu 9.04 install? | 14:12 |
| moldy | hoohaah: yes, i see that. but how do i *disable* a key? | 14:12 |
| piXelshooter | bazhang, could my desktop boot from it if the cd was broken? I have no knowledge about those things :( | 14:12 |
| moldy | hoohaah: i tried hitting escape, space and the like, but then it thinks i want to bind it to that key | 14:12 |
| moldy | this ui is a joke :p | 14:12 |
| hoohaah | moldy: backspace while not in input field? | 14:12 |
| moldy | let me try... | 14:12 |
| piXelshooter | sean2009: doesn't it boot from all disks, or only not from this special ubuntu cd? | 14:12 |
| hoohaah | moldy: i can't confirm as I'm not in front of my ubuntu box | 14:12 |
| TFHosting | http://tfhosting.servehttp.com/services.php <<--- Need a SeedBox? | 14:13 |
| bazhang | piXelshooter, did you md5 the iso, burn at very low speed, then do the disk integrity check after setting in bios to look for CD to boot from first? | 14:13 |
| moldy | hoohaah: nope, backspace jumps to the parent section :p | 14:13 |
| Pici | TFHosting: Please do not advertise in this channel. | 14:13 |
| bazhang | TFHosting, dont paste here | 14:13 |
| moldy | hoohaah: backspace while *in* the field works. hooray, thank you. | 14:13 |
| sean2009 | piXelshooter, no it didn't boot from the ubuntu disc, or other discs like fedora 10 | 14:13 |
| hoohaah | again, mibbit | 14:14 |
| hoohaah | oh. it's an irc client | 14:14 |
| hoohaah | bah | 14:14 |
| moldy | can anyone recommend a *simple* ftp server? | 14:15 |
| piXelshooter | bazhang, yes, if I boot my desktop from the cd and perform an integrity check, it succeeds with no errors. but my notebook still boots from HD, although the CD drive is listed first in the boot order, and it boots from knoppix cd for example fine. | 14:15 |

| hoohaah | i use vsftpd | 14:16 |
| sean2009 | piXelshooter, yes it was | 14:16 |
| eBug | bazhang to upgrade some packages | 14:16 |
| bazhang | piXelshooter, try some boot options then | 14:16 |
| moldy | brabo: that's the one i know :) i was hoping there was something simpler, because for this instance, i only need 1 r/w directory and 1 user | 14:16 |
| bazhang | !bootoptions | piXelshooter | 14:16 |

| ronnie | hi | 14:21 |
| Guest61260 | hoohaah: Can it look at things such as battery remaining and make a decision based on the results? | 14:21 |
| hoohaah | Guest61260: most often, the only thing happening in standby mode is the system waiting for a wakeup call, or receiving feedback from power-state | 14:21 |
| hoohaah | Guest61260: for the latter, this will (usually) set hibernation in motion | 14:22 |

| Gourlis | Anyone knows where Ubuntu 9.04 themes are? I want to have the new theme which is on 9.04 on my Ubuntu 8.10 | 14:41 |
| matrixblue | Gourlis, try www.ubuntu-art.org | 14:42 |
| ShockF | ok so i have just downloaded and burnt what i suspect is the latest version of ubuntu to a disk i downloaded it from the main website and i put the cd in my laptop everything loads up fine yet when i press enter to start the installation something seems to load and then everything goes blank yet the laptop is still running and all the lights are on any help with this ? | 14:42 |
| Gourlis | matrixblue, i want the official theme made by ubuntu. :D | 14:42 |
| matrixblue | Gourlis, the theme is called human and it should be there | 14:42 |
| Myrtti | ShockF: have you tried the alternate install disc? | 14:42 |
| ShockF | alternate install disc ? | 14:43 |
| x1sc0 | oks, i'm doing with pygtk a dialog and if I apply to this leave-notify-event it works right, but if I add a scrolledwindow to it, when the mouse is on the scroll it disappears, How can I avoid it ? | 14:43 |
| Titan8990 | Xcell, looks to me like they are changing something unnecessary so I have to learn it agin.... | 14:43 |
| nibbler_ | ShockF: well... no idea about this bug, but there is an "alternative install cd" available, which uses textmode, maybe this works for you? | 14:43 |

| Myrtti | !alternate | ShockF | 14:43 |
| ubottu | ShockF: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 14:43 |
| Gourlis | matrixblue, not the other one in 9.04 which is somehow dark i think | 14:43 |
| matrixblue | ShockF, are you getting into the live cd mode or are you pressing install at the first menu? | 14:43 |
| Xcell | Titan8990- na...it'll be nice...especially for modern bios and memory management. | 14:44 |
| matrixblue | Gourlis, I think that' darkroom | 14:44 |

| big-pengwiin | hdparm installed already | 14:51 |

| hoohaah | wow, irssi theme? | 14:52 |
| Myrtti | ShockF: wubi is considered by many a way to test if it works with the hardware, there are some problems with it, so I wouldn't recommend it as a permanent solution | 14:52 |

| erUSUL | big-pengwiin: can you paste the output of « sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdx » for your disk ? | 14:52 |

| dazjorz | znh_: of course, and I noticed the wikipedia "ubuntu server edition" page just forwards to ubuntu and that'sit | 15:07 |

| dazjorz | znh_: I think most pages about ubuntu server are simply about the differences between windows server and ubuntu server, and such things, I specifically want to know debian versus ubuntu server | 15:07 |
| dazjorz | :) | 15:08 |
| hoohaah | dazjorz: ubuntu server -windows ;) | 15:08 |
| dazjorz | znh_: most of the changes between debian and vanilla ubuntu are to make the desktop easier, which is amazing, but if I am installing a server, I don't want those things :) | 15:08 |

| The_Warlock | what does the -adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal-*-*-300-*-*-*-*-*-* mean? | 15:10 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: can you ping elsewhere? | 15:10 |
| jhammit | Interested in setting up 9.04 for migrating without a mouse or pad, how do I get the UNDERLINE to display so I can do Alt - (plus) underlined letter to navigate the menus etc., | 15:10 |
| hoohaah | The_Warlock: that's the logical font description for X | 15:11 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, I have all of that information. Unfortunately, I can't get any traffic going at all. Can't even ping the router/gateway/dns servers | 15:11 |
| hoohaah | The_Warlock: ie the font standard used by X | 15:11 |
| matt_ubuntu | i installed WUBI on my windows XP machine. can someone PM me on what i do from there? i'm really confused. | 15:11 |
| hoohaah | The_Warlock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_logical_font_description | 15:11 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: what's in your /etc/resolv.conf? | 15:11 |
| The_Warlock | hoohaah: tnx | 15:11 |
| [nrx] | I'm not in the hotel at the mo so nothing relevant to that connection unfortunately :( | 15:12 |
| dj_segfault | [nrx]: Are you trying by name or IP address? | 15:12 |
| [nrx] | dj_segfault, both | 15:12 |
| dj_segfault | [nrx]: Wait, is this wireless or wired? | 15:13 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: have the dhcp leases expired? | 15:13 |

| [nrx] | dj_segfault, both :) | 15:13 |
| myself | how do i autostart something in kubuntu | 15:13 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, I don't think that's the problem. I can fire up the laptop into OSX and it's fine. Connect to the network, fire up firefox and bang, get the login page. | 15:13 |
| [nrx] | IIn ubuntu, I get connected, fire up firefox and nothing | 15:13 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: restrictive firewall settings? | 15:14 |
| [nrx] | I've checked network settings and the IP/DNS assigned via DHCP and all is well (identical mostly to the settings in place on OSX) | 15:14 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, explain? | 15:14 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | someone plz, take a look at this | 15:14 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | http://paste.ubuntu.com/191690/ | 15:14 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: that about answers my question ;) | 15:14 |
| [nrx] | :) | 15:15 |
| [nrx] | I'm totally baffled if I'm honest | 15:15 |
| The_Warlock | hoohaah, how ill i get the X logical description for my font? | 15:15 |
| [nrx] | Even put in a network proxy to no avail | 15:15 |
| hoohaah | it wouldn't be firefox as you can't even ping it. Do you have a dhclient.conf that's assigning custom dns servers that preceed that obtained by dhcp? | 15:16 |
| ShockF | ok back | 15:16 |
| erUSUL | [nrx]: what is the exact error msg you get from ping ? maybe it is a problem with routes ? | 15:16 |
| ShockF | the problem still persists i choose to boot into ubuntu i get a message saying press esc to enter menu with a countdown i let it countdown and then the screen just goes blank again =/ | 15:17 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, a quick search shoes no dhclient.conf. I must add that I can use this happily (like right now) in the office wireless network ANd on a wired connection | 15:17 |
| [nrx] | erUSUL, I can't replicate at the moment, I'm not in the hotel. But when I am... obviously I can't get online heh :( | 15:17 |
| hoohaah | The_Warlock: mkfontdir will generate a file for you | 15:17 |
| Pumba | Ah; so I'm new to all this, how does an IRC work? | 15:17 |
| mbt | Anyone have/had issues with nvidia GeForce 7050 PV hardware corrupting the display regularly (and been able to make it stop)? If so, I'd like to hear from you. | 15:17 |
| hoohaah | The_Warlock: else, use xfontsel to sift through each option | 15:17 |
| ShockF | any ideas hoohaah or myrtti | 15:18 |
| dazjorz | Pumba: you are currently in the #ubuntu channel of the FreeNode IRC network, and when you speak, everybody here receives it | 15:18 |
| Pumba | Oh cool | 15:18 |
| erUSUL | [nrx]: well the msg is allways a good indication... if it says unknown host --> dns problem if it says no route to host --> a routes problem if it timeouts --> who knows? ;P | 15:18 |
| dazjorz | Pumba: that's pretty much it. you can also talk to people in private, outside of a channel - it may depend on your IRC client, but /msg [username] [message] usually does it | 15:18 |
| [nrx] | erUSUL, ueah I appreciate that :) | 15:19 |
| fbc-mx | How do I make my desktop see nfs shares? I can mount the manually, bot not see them through the network browser. | 15:19 |
| dazjorz | Pumba: /join [channel] to join new channels, /leave to leave them; etc. it's kinda simple :) | 15:19 |
| LordDicranius | is there a way to make Courier-IMAP use the MX records to deliver to a mailbox of the same name, instead of just dropping it off locally? | 15:19 |
| Pumba | Cool! | 15:19 |
| [nrx] | erUSUL, he issue seems to stem around getting to the authentication page. I can't get that far... it's like firefox wont redirect by default to that page, you know? | 15:19 |
| The_Warlock | is font rendering dependent on the distro of linux or is the mindow manager dependent? | 15:19 |
| The_Warlock | window* | 15:20 |
| dazjorz | Pumba: usually, in a conversation on a large channel, you prefix your message with "[username], " or "[username]: " so your message stands out against the flood of messages (that's what I've been doing, almost automatically) | 15:20 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: might indeed be a security measure | 15:20 |
| dazjorz | Pumba: it's easy, you don't have to type "dazjorz: " every time; just type "daz" and press tab until it says "dazjorz: " | 15:20 |
| Nehyx | Pumba: for more freenode support join in #freenode -> /join #freenode ;) | 15:20 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: ssl certs fine on firefox? | 15:20 |
| === tue is now known as ahmad- | ||
| [nrx] | hoohaah, but then surely if I'm telling it what address to go to, it would accept that? It's not even finding it. I'd dead in the water, entirely once connected | 15:20 |
| erUSUL | [nrx]: the outh page of the router ? | 15:20 |
| DaZ | dazjorz: ... | 15:20 |
| dazjorz | Pumba: or, on other clients, type "daz", press tab, see the options, and potentially type some more characters and press tab until you get it :) | 15:20 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: then back to /etc/resolv.conf :) | 15:21 |
| DaZ | i know you love highlighting me | 15:21 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: this is absolutely maddening as you're not able to test any theories | 15:21 |
| dazjorz | DaZ: oh shit, it must be even worse for you :p | 15:21 |
| Pumba | dazjorz: Thanks for your advice! | 15:21 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, yeah. It's even worse when I fire up OSX to get online... do a bit of googling then need to reboot into Linux.. and fail | 15:21 |
| hoohaah | fah ale | 15:21 |
| dazjorz | DaZ: I had a highlight on "*daz*", but got highlighted constantly, there's some dazedit lamer which impersonates freenode staff sometimes etc, people talk about "dazzle", etc :P | 15:22 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, I know you say /etc/resolv.conf however surely I'd be able to access the default page(s), DNS server, Gateway etc by IP. I can't even ping them | 15:22 |
| [nrx] | Which to me would suggest routes. | 15:22 |
| DaZ | i have only on 'daz' and it's fine | 15:22 |
| d1gital | hello all. i'm having trouble with flashplugin. flashplugin-nonfree is installed on my system yet i cannot load flash content in firefox or midori. I tried installing the plugin from adobe.com, but both the deb and the tarball tell me x64 is not supported. surely there's a way to view flash content on a 64-bit system, right? | 15:22 |
| jhammit | Interested in setting up 9.04 for migrating around the computer menus without a mouse or pad, how do I get the UNDERLINE to display so I can do Alt - (plus) underlined letter to navigate. | 15:22 |
| ShockF | @hoohaah i tried the wubi thing and the same happens as with my live cd do you think my hardware might not match whats needed for ubuntu | 15:23 |
| dazjorz | Pumba: btw, when your client detects your name it highlights the message, the practice of adding someones nick in a message (like when I say "pumba" or "DaZ"), is called highlighting too :) | 15:23 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: do you restart networking upon each roam? | 15:23 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, no | 15:23 |
| mbt | jhammit: I have access key underlines on my menus, out of the box, using GNOME... | 15:23 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: how are you connecting wirelessly? | 15:23 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, the laptop is restarted though, so in effect everything is 'fresh' | 15:23 |
| DaZ | o rly [; | 15:24 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: if it's through a frontend of some sort, I can't help | 15:24 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, just the default manager in ubuntu... using the GUI | 15:24 |
| hoohaah | yup. ubuntu voodoo | 15:24 |
| Pumba | dazjorz: sweet thanks. I think I'll just watch now and slowly pick things up. | 15:24 |
| [nrx] | hoohaah, I don't think it makes much difference because all the settings are correct and the relevant entries are made (gateway, DNS, etc) | 15:24 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: i'm more inclined to use wpa_supplicant or similar | 15:25 |
| hoohaah | [nrx]: seemingly.. | 15:25 |
| hoohaah | again, no idea on gnome-* managers | 15:25 |
| [nrx] | Understood | 15:25 |
| [nrx] | Annoying that it works everywhere else tho :S | 15:26 |
| jhammit | Hmmmmmmmmmm yeah I have 9.04 with the full edubuntu add on's - very good, issues with laptop and the pad and the USB mouse... if I turn the pad OFF, then when there is NO mouse (left at home etc., ) then I can't run the laptop - no Alt+ menu operations | 15:26 |
| h00k | Any ideas why my apt speeds trickle down from around 500kbps to around 400bps? It only happens with synaptic, I've tried different mirrors, and I'm not capped here at work as far as bandwidth | 15:26 |

| stittel | Hi! On a notebook with an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 after installation of Ubuntu 9.04 the X-server only shows a basically black screen with flickering. According to X.org.log the "radeon" driver is used. Switching to fglrx is not an option, since the current fglrx version doesn't support this chipset anymore. Any ideas? | 15:34 |
| cporter | erUSUL, adding 'exec perl script.pl' to the end of .profile doesn't seem to work either | 15:35 |
| jussi01 | stittel: have you looked at radeonhd if it supports it? | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | cporter: you do not need the exec in .profile | 15:35 |
| cporter | Oh | 15:35 |
| telofy | hi, can someone tell me what happened to uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd modules in jaunty? I just upgraded and need to deactivate usb 1.1 again, it makes a horrible high-pitched noise. | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | cporter: also is script in the users path ? if not you need to pass the whole path | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | script.pl | 15:36 |
| cporter | It's in ~/.startup/startup.pl | 15:36 |
| ShockF | Myrtti you still here ? | 15:36 |
| stittel | jussi01: Unfortunately it's not. | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | cporter: then you need to call it with the absolute path.... | 15:37 |
| Pyam | Stiletto: What should I do? | 15:37 |
| jhammit | When I press enter, my computer starts to smoke and send puffs of flame out the back - is this normal? | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | cporter: perl ~/.startup/startup.pl | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | cporter: and it is in all the user's homes ? | 15:37 |
| cporter | Ok, I wasn't sure if I needed to throw $USER in there | 15:37 |
| hoohaah | stittel: use an older version of fglrx | 15:37 |
| d1gital | i think lynx needs a flash plugin. | 15:37 |
| s0ftwar3 | lol lynx | 15:38 |
| stittel | hoohaah: Not possible with the version of the X server shipped with Ubuntu 9.04. | 15:38 |
| cporter | erUSUL, well, I'm sure there's a better way of doing it, but I'm quickly testing for now | 15:38 |
| hoohaah | d1gital: i think not | 15:38 |
| cporter | erUSUL, it's also a one-time startup script | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | cporter: ok | 15:38 |
| d1gital | hoohaah: why not? that would be great. convert everything to ASCII art realtime lmfao | 15:38 |

| peanut034 | I need some help installing nvidia drivers | 15:50 |
| rohit | peanut034, didn't you try installing via the Restricted Drivers thing ? | 15:51 |
| peanut034 | could someone help me | 15:51 |
| peanut034 | rohit: whats that? | 15:51 |
| peanut034 | I downloaded the installer from nVidia's site | 15:51 |
| peanut034 | but it says I need the package source | 15:51 |
| rohit | peanut034, System -> Administrator -> Hardware Drivers | 15:51 |
| peanut034 | I mean, the kernel source | 15:51 |
| peanut034 | I'm using 2.6.26-2_amd64 | 15:52 |
| peanut034 | it says it doesn't have a compiled module for my kernel | 15:52 |
| Titan8990 | peanut034, do what rohit said | 15:52 |
| peanut034 | so I apparently need the source package | 15:52 |
| rohit | peanut034, I don't have any experience with installing directly from nvidia's website however i installed my drivers via that thing | 15:52 |

| gartral | barbarella: 1.5 mb to 33 mb | 15:54 |
| halberd | ubottu I doubt that apt get _install_ ubuntu-desktop will remove it | 15:54 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:54 |
| bazhang | halberd, read the bit before that | 15:54 |
| rohit | I think ubottu is awesome! :D | 15:54 |
| gartral | halberd: did you see the *first* half of that command>? | 15:54 |
| fbc-mx | How do I make my desktop see nfs shares? I can mount the manually, but not see them through the network browser. | 15:54 |
| halberd | yes, the first half looks like it just removes libraries | 15:55 |
| halberd | but I have kde apps installed like kate | 15:55 |
| bazhang | halberd, that is how it is done. | 15:55 |
| halberd | would the first half remove kate? | 15:55 |
| zek152 | does anyone know how to see what ip adresses are connected to an adhoc network? | 15:55 |
| gartral | halberd: the libs are dependencies, removes them, and it will autoremove what linked too them | 15:55 |
| halberd | well I'll try it | 15:55 |
| _ruben | yes, because kate would depend on those libs | 15:55 |
| halberd | ok thanks | 15:55 |
| shambat | I want to check out a working copy using svn, but when I run: svn co http://blahblah I get a directory called trunk in the dir I want to download the fiels into...how can I get the files from trunk in my dir instead of the dir called trunk? | 15:56 |
| gartral | halberd: note: this proccess may take a *very* long time depending on your inet | 15:56 |
| gartral | oops | 15:56 |
| gartral | barbarella: 1.5 megs for the file I want to upload | 15:56 |
| frostburn | wtf happened to amarok, it's completely unusable now =( | 15:56 |
| Titan8990 | shambat, svn co http:/foobar TheNameOfDirToSave | 15:57 |
| halberd | although what I actually want to do is, sudo apt-get --auto-remove --purge purge kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data | 15:58 |
| gartral | halberd: try that without two purge commands | 15:58 |
| Titan8990 | halberd, sudo aptitude remove foobar | 15:58 |
| gartral | !foo | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Bar | 15:59 |
| bieb | how do I sudo an X application?? I am in Kate copying and pasting different parts of a config file, and need to save it, but the regular user doesn't have rights to save to the same directory. In the past I have saved it to my home dir, then sudo'ed and copied it manually.. just trying to see if I can save a step | 15:59 |
| gartral | !foobar | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about foobar | 15:59 |
| halberd | and when I do that, it doesn't work because neither kdelibs4c2 or the other one is installed | 15:59 |
| jpds | !aptitude | Titan8990 | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Titan8990: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 15:59 |
| chocobanana | bieb: in a terminal type sudo kate path/filename | 15:59 |
| gartral | halberd: then you have a deeper problem, almost every KDE package requires those libs | 15:59 |
| Titan8990 | jpds, I know what it is, that is why I recommended it for his situation? | 16:00 |
| halberd | the extra --purge is to purge the ones that are auto-removed | 16:00 |
| Titan8990 | halberd, pretty sure --purge clears config files | 16:00 |
| bieb | chocobanana: will that make Kate sudo'ed for any other files I open in it? | 16:00 |
| gartral | halberd: then flag it correctly, because i don't think Apt will understand it the way you've formatted it | 16:00 |
| halberd | yes I know Titan, that's what I want.. to remove every trace | 16:00 |
| Titan8990 | halberd, aptitude will auto-remove dependencies by default | 16:00 |
| olavimmanuel | how to switch to ipv4? | 16:00 |
| halberd | gartral what was incorrect? | 16:01 |
| halberd | it didn't warn me about anything | 16:01 |
| Titan8990 | halberd, nothing in the package manager will touch your home directory | 16:01 |
| chocobanana | bieb: as long as kate remains open and you open other files from withing kate. Once you close it, no more sudo | 16:01 |
| bieb | chocobanana: awesome.. thanks!! | 16:01 |
| gartral | halberd: just try it with a single purge, no flag | 16:01 |
| olavimmanuel | ! ipv4 | 16:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ipv4 | 16:01 |
| chocobanana | bieb: you're welcome :) | 16:01 |
| gartral | sudo apt-get purge yadayada | 16:01 |
| olavimmanuel | ! inet6 | 16:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about inet6 | 16:02 |
| gartral | !ipv6 | 16:02 |
| ubottu | For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 16:02 |
| halberd | no more luck gartral, libs just aren't installed | 16:02 |
| olavimmanuel | thanks gartral | 16:02 |
| gartral | halberd: try your *original* command with the single, unflagged, purge | 16:02 |
| halberd | gartral that's what I did | 16:02 |
| halberd | let me tell you the way this problem came to be--first I did apt-get install kde, then startx, and then i was in kde but I was stuck as root | 16:03 |
| halberd | so from within that session I did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, and then I discovered that permissions on some of the config files it made were root | 16:03 |
| halberd | so that when I restarted the computer, I couldn't log in because it couldn't access them | 16:04 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !sudo | halberd | 16:04 |
| ubottu | halberd: 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) | 16:04 |
| gartral | halberd: ok, try using that above command for those libs, but install them... not purge or remove | 16:04 |
| === vvpalin is now known as vvpalin_ | ||
| halberd | oh, you mean install them then remove them? | 16:05 |
| === vvpalin_ is now known as vvpalin | ||

| bieb | anyone here good with Customizing menus? I am looking for a good how-to to create a custom menu... I want it to appear on the taskbar next to Applications and before Places... | 16:05 |
| gartral | !who | halberd | 16:05 |
| ubottu | halberd: 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 :) | 16:05 |
| gartral | halberd: install, see if they help you, then if not, remove | 16:05 |
| halberd | okay ubottu | 16:05 |
| chocobanana | lol | 16:06 |
| halberd | oh right ubottu is the bot | 16:06 |
| gartral | !ubottu | halberd | 16:06 |

| gartral | halberd: yep, ubottu saves us from carpol tunnel | 16:06 |

| bieb | chocobanana: so I can only make it a submenu of Applications? | 16:07 |
| AceKing | bleb: did you try right clicking on "Applications" and clicking on "Edit Menus"? | 16:08 |
| gartral | bieb: are you trying to make your own menu class? | 16:08 |

| bieb | gartral: AceKing: yeah I want to create a menu of apps for the school I work for, I am in the process of setting up and testing LTSP for one of our labs, there are currently a bunch of shortcuts on the win machines there, I figured if I can create a custom menu with all the shortcuts in it, it would be nicer. | 16:10 |
| shambat | trying to add a user to be able to commit to the svn...should I change the group owner of the svn to e.g. "svn" and the add the user to that group? | 16:10 |

| gartral | halberd: what do you have in it's place? | 16:19 |
| halberd | but what were you going to say earlier gartral about "don't reboot" | 16:19 |
| halberd | nothing gartral, there is no corresponding key | 16:19 |
| soreau | rascal999: Why would you want to do that? | 16:20 |
| olavimmanuel | Paulo39: www.keyserver.net | 16:20 |
| gartral | halberd: part of the linux philosphy is that you shoud *never* have too reboot your machine unless you have a kernal panic, alternativly, you can use zap to "quick reboot" | 16:20 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | I used to have notifications for print jobs in jaunty (e.g. job sent, job finished, errors) now they are gone, anyone ideas? | 16:20 |
| halberd | gartral: I could plug in a MS keyboard through USB | 16:20 |
| bazhang | rascal999, get the minimal iso and add to it | 16:20 |
| rascal999 | soreau, to make it it netbootable | 16:20 |
| bazhang | !minimal | rascal999 | 16:20 |
| ubottu | rascal999: 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 | 16:20 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | gartral: unless you upgrade the kernel | 16:20 |
| gartral | halberd: hold on, ill look for the equivlent | 16:20 |
| rascal999 | i want ubuntu to be able to run diskless | 16:21 |
| rascal999 | and be served via pxe | 16:21 |
| gartral | Le-Chuck_ITA: IIRC there's a way too reinit kernals as well... but that was years ago | 16:21 |
| soreau | rascal999: I could be wrong but I thought there was (a possibly easier) way to netboot ubuntu | 16:21 |
| cdavis_ | Is there a good gui program for jaunty that allows me to backup to Amazon's S3 service? | 16:21 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | gartral: not so much, it's the "kexec" system call, but that will replace everything just as a plain reboot :) | 16:21 |
| rascal999 | soreau, you may mean install via network | 16:21 |
| regeya | rascal999: you might check the edubuntu docs; never done it, but I think they have stuff there | 16:21 |
| rascal999 | i don't want to install | 16:21 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | I think rascal999 wants a live system that boots via ethernet | 16:22 |
| soreau | rascal999: No, I mean boot via netboot | 16:22 |
| soreau | rascal999: I know someone who did it once, said it booted fast as hell | 16:22 |
| aar | Hi, what's the best way to do a cross-file PDF word search in Linux? | 16:22 |

| halberd_ | edbian I get the error about dcopserver when I try to start with the limited mode in kde | 17:10 |
| edbian | halberd_: Are you install "kde" or "kubuntu-desktop" | 17:10 |
| halberd_ | and I get a different error (that it doesn't have permissions for ~/.ICEauthority) when I try to start with the full mode in kde | 17:10 |
| halberd_ | edbian I installed kde-core | 17:10 |
| halberd_ | edbian but the last time, I installed both kde and kubuntu-desktop | 17:10 |

| edbian | and you got the same errors? | 17:10 |
| halberd_ | edbian yes | 17:10 |
| Knirgh | gartral: ctrl+c is already escape sequence | 17:11 |
| halberd_ | edbian if I change permissions on ~/.ICEauthority it gives me another error, I could check and find out what it is if you want | 17:11 |
| edbian | halberd_: 1st things 1st. the error regarding ~/.ICEauthority | 17:11 |
| gartral | Knirgh: yea, but if i close firefox or whatever im copying from, the buffer is cleaerd, how do i make it *persistent*? | 17:12 |
| eurythmia | gartral, ctrl+c and ctrl+v works as well too. | 17:12 |
| halberd_ | edbian well actually what I mean is, chown, because it's owned by root | 17:12 |
| edbian | halberd_: It doesn't matter what it is you should have read/write permissions to everything in your home folder. | 17:12 |
| halberd_ | edbian and needs to be owned by me | 17:12 |
| gartral | eurythmia: see the post to Knirgh | 17:12 |
| halberd_ | edbian can you think of a reason why .ICEauthority would be owned by root? | 17:12 |
| eurythmia | gartral, interesting. I've never had that problem before. | 17:13 |
| edbian | halberd_: run sudo chown -R halberd /home/halberd | 17:13 |
| epaphus | Hello, anybody know where pidgin saves the history files? | 17:13 |
| eurythmia | gartral, then again, klipper takes care of my clipboard. *is a kde user* | 17:13 |
| halberd_ | edbian yeah I'll do that (and did that the last time) but I get a different problem then on launching kde, 1 moment | 17:13 |
| Knirgh | halberd_: it was probably because u started kde as root and it generated that file | 17:13 |
| edbian | halberd_: One time I mounted my debian /home with a fedora install and it changed all of the permissions in my home folder because fedora starts UID's at 500 and debian / ubuntu starts them at 100 | 17:13 |
| edbian | halberd_: Ok | 17:13 |

| edbian | halberd_: It should (i'm not positive) if it doesn't let me know I will teach you how to make it. | 17:17 |

| Rabbitbunny | how can i mount an iso without burning it? mount /file.iso /dev/cdrom ? | 17:20 |
| gartral | !firestarter | IamSOG | 17:20 |
| ubottu | IamSOG: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 17:20 |

| eurythmia | gartral, that's actually a package? | 17:20 |
| evanrmurphy | cporter: Is it better to make it the nickserv password or server password, or does it make no difference? | 17:20 |
| gartral | !info glipper | eurythmia | 17:20 |
| ubottu | eurythmia: glipper (source: glipper): Clipboard manager for the GNOME panel. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-1ubuntu4 (jaunty), package size 67 kB, installed size 636 kB | 17:20 |
| tdn | soreau, ok. | 17:20 |
| edbian | thurston: Your root parition is not mounted? Are you running a live CD ? | 17:20 |
| cporter | evanmurphy, needs to be nickserv | 17:21 |
| IamSOG | thanks gartral | 17:21 |
| gartral | IamSOG: np | 17:21 |
| cporter | evanmurphy, the other is the password to actually connect to the server | 17:21 |
| tdn | soreau, I need this to work for ALL users. | 17:21 |
| evanrmurphy | cporter: thanks again | 17:21 |
| tdn | soreau, also when no user is logged in? | 17:21 |
| eurythmia | gartral, well, there you go ... hep it does what you want/need :) | 17:21 |
| edbian | Rabbitbunny: you don't have to mount it to a cdrom you can mount it to any file in the filesystem (one that is empy works best). Although I am not sure you can mount an iso that way. | 17:22 |

| rafase282 | Hello, can anyone help me create a usb ubuntu 9.04 persistent? | 17:26 |
| edbian | cabrey: puppy linux does it automatically I'm sure it can be done with a usb stick | 17:26 |
| gartral | !unetbootin | 17:26 |
| ubottu | 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 | 17:26 |
| thurston | edbian: Sorry about that my message got truncated. Two NTFS, Extended, ext3, linux-swap, two unallocated. | 17:27 |
| cabrey | edbian, he wanted ubuntu and the usb-creator only makes a live system | 17:27 |

| andy_js | whats the 'official' way to rebuild gcc? | 17:28 |
| edbian | cabrey: The only reason live-systems don't save your changes is becuase you can't write to a CD. (You actually can with CD-RW and USB sticks). I am not sure how to do it with ubuntu but I have done it with puppy (both media) and it is the same concept | 17:28 |
| space_cadet | cabrey did he want a persistent USB ubuntu? | 17:28 |
| rafase282 | okay thanks for the link, but if I add some programs like jdk, git, python 2.4, eclipse and the whole android sdk. will it save the changes or it just save what you have on home? | 17:28 |
| raziekiel | server irc.rizon.net | 17:28 |
| edbian | thurston: And you want it to look like what when you're done? Are the partitons in that order? | 17:28 |
| rafase282 | I'm trying to make a iso with the sdk and everything on it already for android developerrs | 17:28 |
| rafase282 | developers* | 17:29 |
| space_cadet | edbian prolly the same method... | 17:29 |
| cabrey | edbian, i know that, but i'm just saying you can't change the entire structure of the system with a 'pwetty pwease' | 17:29 |
| sipior | edbian: cabrey: last time i used the ubuntu usb stick creator, it gave me the option to reserve space for permanent user data. | 17:29 |
| space_cadet | yep | 17:29 |
| mmm4m5m | Hi. One question please: is there any program (gnome) which act as a frame or parent window for other applications. Like a frame window which is split (horizontal and vertical) in 4 areas - one for terminal, another for file manager and so on. We have so many options to overlap all windows/applications. I just want to be able to stick few applications together without overlapping. | 17:29 |
| cabrey | sipior, thats different from saving changes ;) | 17:29 |
| space_cadet | sipior actually it is really simple to create a persistent usb ubuntu | 17:29 |
| edbian | space_cadet: puppy asks you when you shut down after each session if you want to save your files (changes) | 17:29 |
| === alberto is now known as Guest63910 | ||

| ActionParsnip | hey all. I'm having issues with Transmission. I can't log onto the web interface. I have set a username and password and removed the access restriction IP so it should be accessible from anywhere but i can't even log on from localhost | 17:31 |
| space_cadet | Dr_Willis, yes.. i got that far... but... | 17:31 |
| cabrey | sipior, what i am trying to say is that the usb system acts exactly like a live cd. it will only makes changes in the ram regardless of whether you can writee back to the medium | 17:31 |
| * space_cadet looks around | 17:31 | |
| edbian | thurston: That will require many steps. 1st question. Do you need that data that is on any of these partitions? | 17:31 |
| space_cadet | what next? | 17:31 |

| space_cadet | trask4, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 17:33 |
| sipior | cabrey: from release 8.10, this is simply not true. | 17:33 |
| irc-anope | it still not solve it | 17:33 |
| edbian | thurston: (and the EXT3) do you have 2 NTFS paritions in an extension? | 17:33 |
| bparkis | next on my list of todos: why is it so slow to connect to a wireless network? | 17:33 |

| bparkis | what might be causing that? | 17:34 |
| edbian | sipior: cabrey I think that it will only save changes that were made in the home folder. | 17:34 |
| rafase282 | i may have to reinstall the OS idk | 17:34 |
| thurston | edbian: I am still a newbie, what do you mean by extension. | 17:34 |
| rafase282 | i tried to solve it before but coudl not get help | 17:34 |
| sipior | cabrey: i suggest trying again. | 17:35 |
| space_cadet | edbian, that would mean that when I use my usb persistent ubuntu install, i wouldn't be able to install things... which i can | 17:35 |
| space_cadet | edbian like compiz, the nVidia drivers | 17:35 |
| uber_noober | anyone good with renaming batch files? need to add a consecutive sequence of numbers as a prefix to multiple files | 17:35 |
| space_cadet | etcf | 17:35 |
| cabrey | edbian, yes! my point is that no matter what it is still a live system | 17:35 |
| edbian | thurston: A typical harddrive can only hold 4 primary paritions. You can create these logical extentions that can hold many more paritions if you need more than four. | 17:35 |
| cabrey | anyways moving on... | 17:35 |
| edbian | space_cadet: Maybe there is some trickery behind the scenes for package installation?? | 17:36 |

| bparkis | what's the name of the gde wireless configuration program? | 17:36 |
| edbian | space_cadet: I never thought of that. Saving the home dir is simply what I thought was happening (my own personal theory sorta lol) We shoud probably do a google search and stop bickering. Is the original poster even paying attention to us anymore? | 17:36 |

| usicow | I have a laptop which I SSH into (running Ubuntu 9.04) which I know the sound card works when it boots into X, but I changed it so that it just boots to the console, and since then when I SSH in, and play an MP3 theres no sound. What can I do to work out whats going on? | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | irc-anope: im saying i dont use xchat 'bots' - xchat is very scriptable and could be used for a bot if you wanted.. I imagine htye have examples of such things at teh xchat homepage/scripts. I dont use them, so i dont know any more on the topic | 17:50 |
| irc-anope | I appreciate the direction | 17:51 |

| mercutio22 | I'm having trouble printing a PDF file from evince on a networked printer. The test page is printed appropriately but when I send PDF job, evince gets briefly unresponsive and the printer icon shows says "processing" but that never ends. | 18:02 |
| zer0c00l | how could i load a kernel module at boot time? | 18:02 |
| mercutio22 | what to do? | 18:02 |
| jdu | mercutio22, perhaps if you give it a looot of time, it will work. Otherwise try okular. | 18:03 |
| d1gital | !modprobe | 18:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe | 18:03 |
| d1gital | gah | 18:03 |
| zer0c00l | d1gital, modprobe is for loading the kernel | 18:03 |
| mcphail | Noxarethor: noone can guarantee your install will not lead to data loss. Back up. | 18:03 |
| mercutio22 | jdu, YES, the printer just spit it!! | 18:04 |
| zer0c00l | d1gital, i am talkin about loading at boot time | 18:04 |
| niuby | what program can i download for code in C language ? im in ubuntu. | 18:04 |
| mercutio22 | what the heck | 18:04 |
| mercutio22 | heheh | 18:04 |
| zer0c00l | niuby, codeblocks (apt-get install codeblocks) | 18:04 |
| Noxarethor | mcphail: I heard Linux can read NTFS | 18:04 |
| mcphail | Noxarethor: yes. it can | 18:04 |

| linuxnub | Thank you all got it working, now off to try it out some more :) | 18:05 |
| zer0c00l | Any body have idea on how to load a kernel module at boottime? | 18:05 |
| ShockF | jdu any ideas how i can get either my ubuntu 9.04 cd to work i get to the spalsh menu chose the install option it seems to load and then the screen goes black ive tried different vga codes and still nothing i even tryed wubi and that also didnt work any help would be appreciated | 18:05 |
| d1gital | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-load-a-kernel-module-automatically-at-boot-time/ | 18:05 |
| mcphail | Noxarethor: but if you get the install wrong you will nuke the music parition. | 18:05 |
| zer0c00l | i went there , i didnt get it d1gital | 18:05 |
| Noxarethor | mcphail: so, can't i just create another ntfs, move the music there and after that just copy it to the /home? | 18:06 |
| jdu | ShockF, dell system? | 18:06 |
| ShockF | nope | 18:06 |
| jdu | zer0c00l, /etc/modules or /etc/modules.conf | 18:06 |
| ShockF | i have a advent 5311 laptop | 18:06 |
| zer0c00l | d1gital, what about loading a usbserial modem driver | 18:06 |
| mcphail | Noxarethor: you can, yes. But you might mess up and format the wrong partition at install time. Up to you. USB drives are cheap. 13GB of music isn't. | 18:07 |
| sheep30945 | when i bet ubutnu i can press esc to open a menu to be able to run in safemode etc. if i don't do this and select the top one i get an error (cpc). i can check the exact error unless anyone knows of the problem | 18:07 |
| sheep30945 | boot* | 18:07 |
| jdu | ShockF, what happens if you switch to tty (ctrl+alt+f1)? | 18:07 |
| d1gital | zer0c00l, just append the name of the module to /etc/modules.conf | 18:07 |
| ShockF | whats tty ? | 18:07 |
| zer0c00l | d1gital, ok | 18:07 |
| Noxarethor | mcphail: someone must do the dirty job :D | 18:07 |
| jdu | ShockF, a terminal you should get to it with the key sequence above | 18:08 |
| ShockF | i havent tried that should i do it now | 18:08 |
| civixier | Is there a command for opening the current directory in the console to a file browser window? | 18:08 |
| Noxarethor | brb | 18:08 |
| jdu | ShockF, do you have a text login prompt? | 18:08 |
| mcphail | Noxarethor: i'd format the C drive as ext3 and copy the music to it by running ubuntu to the live cd. You can then install onto the D drive and mount the old c drive as /music | 18:08 |
| ShockF | jdu no i havent even installed ubuntu yet | 18:09 |
| mcphail | civixier: nautilus . | 18:09 |
| civixier | ah, thank you :D | 18:09 |
| jdu | ShockF, ok. well, it sounds like an xorg problem. Google your video card and you'll probably find instructions. | 18:09 |
| jdu | ShockF, also, you might try the alternate cd installer | 18:09 |
| jdu | ShockF, then make the xorg fix after it is installed. | 18:10 |

| MGollum | cabrey, how can be it reset!? | 18:34 |
| frostburn | gartral, my solution was that laptop video card melted and i got an eeepc instead=( | 18:34 |
| mcphail | dfr|work: yes. By default it will only look for another LTS release | 18:34 |
| ShockF | nibbler : http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases/jaunty/ | 18:34 |

| cabrey | MGollum, there really is no reset, its all stored in /tmp, which is wiped out after you reboot | 18:34 |
| nibbler_ | ShockF: http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-amd64.iso works perfectly for me, for example | 18:34 |
| cabrey | nibbler_, you still have to compile kernel modules for virtualbox | 18:34 |
| mcphail | dfr|work: i can't remember how to do that. It should be in the intrepid release notes | 18:35 |
| ShockF | nibbler : i dont think that would work as i dont have an amd computer | 18:35 |
| nibbler_ | cabrey: no, not true. they co0me with ubuntu | 18:35 |
| dfr|work | mcphail, okay... I probably don't want to do that anyway though, as I would imagine that another LTS release should be relatively soon. :) | 18:35 |

| ideamonk | frostburn , by slow I mean, 2 months back when I used to log in, it used to take 5 seconds to load the whole desktop, not it takes 10-15... | 18:47 |
| cabrey | ideamonk, you have installed nvidia's drivers? | 18:47 |
| niuby | cabrey , no!! im using GCC, im in ubuntu... | 18:47 |
| ideamonk | frostburn and then clicking on menus, brings the menu with some lag | 18:48 |
| magnet | ideamonk: sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq | 18:48 |
| frostburn | ideamonk, 9.04 now saves session states by default, so your previous settings will be loaded next time you log in | 18:48 |
| magnet | check if your cpu is running at max frequency | 18:48 |
| cabrey | niuby, i understand that, but you continue to say that the file is an exe | 18:48 |
| Myrtti | ruzibiza: as you have been informed, Gutsy reached its end of life in April, you'll need to upgrade | 18:48 |

| rob_p | CartoonCat, If you are using vmware, have you checked out: http://linhost.info/vmware | 18:50 |
| mneptok | niuby: a .exe is a Windows executable. use Windows or WINE to run it. Linux won't. | 18:50 |
| magnet | ideamonk: do you know the actual frequency of your cpu? | 18:50 |
| avegas | I ran fsck on the disk , and it seemed like many things were wrong | 18:50 |
| magnet | ideamonk: try to run in performance mode and check if you experience the slowness | 18:50 |
| niuby | mneptok omg...... fucking stupid | 18:50 |
| avegas | I foolishly just pressed yes to everything fsck wanted to do | 18:50 |
| rob_p | CartoonCat, They have prebuilt machines for Ubuntu... Saves lots of time. | 18:50 |

| rameshwo | guys.. one thing i couldn't understand..what's they mean by the stuffs that . ubuntu is based on debian . and fedora on redhat ? and some other on ubuntu .. what are these things ?? | 18:53 |
| === said is now known as Abdurahman | ||
| avegas | so anyways, now I'm running the bios diagnostics on the machine | 18:53 |
| cabrey | rameshwo, ubuntu is a linux distro based on debian | 18:53 |
| mneptok | rameshwo: have a look on Wikipedia. such questions are offtopic for this channel. | 18:53 |
| cabrey | rameshwo, and RHEL is a distro based on fedora | 18:54 |
| frostburn | msk, sounds like something got munged, is there anything else on the screen?any errors? can you get to a terminal? (alt f2) | 18:54 |
| onyx | is there any app that improves wireless connection | 18:54 |
| avegas | anyone have any suggestions on using debian to track down hardware problems/how to talk to dell about getting stuff fixed? | 18:54 |
| rob_p | CartoonCat, Yeah the machines can take some time to download but they have recent ones. I'm using their 8.04LTS server which of course can have java added in. | 18:54 |
| edbian_ | rameshwo: Debian is a linux distrobution that is very much community based. The ubuntu developers took debian "testing" and changed the art, changed what apps are installed by default, built an isntaller, added a couple other gui tools and out popped ubuntu. | 18:54 |
| G-ilgha | Hi | 18:54 |
| rameshwo | mneptok : sorry..... | 18:54 |
| mneptok | rameshwo: it's OK | 18:54 |
| frostburn | avegas, are you talking about hardware fixes for dell, or software fixes for ubuntu and upstream debian? | 18:54 |
| rob_p | CartoonCat, In fact I have 3 instances running with java on them. | 18:54 |
| G-ilgha | I've got a question | 18:54 |
| fccf | !hi | G-ilgha | 18:54 |
| ubottu | G-ilgha: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 18:54 |
| CartoonCat | rob_p: ok, well, i guess i will get downloading | 18:55 |
| fccf | !ask | 18:55 |
| cabrey | edbian_, give the ubuntu devs a little more credit than that ;) | 18:55 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 18:55 |
| msk | frostburn :i got soft lock : CPU#0 stuck for 11s [init:1] | 18:55 |
| edbian_ | rameshwo: Also the ubuntu developers can walk on water | 18:55 |
| Abdurahman | so what's the question | 18:55 |
| Shihan | hi all... i've been trying to change the default logged in resolution for a user, and I came across this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution but it does say which gdm startup scripts to mody... any suggestions? | 18:55 |
| rob_p | CartoonCat, If you don't need GUI, get the server... much smaller download. Good luck. | 18:55 |
| G-ilgha | So I'd like to get ext4 instead of ext3 but someone has told me that grub can't boot ext4 :s | 18:55 |
| avegas | frostburn, I'm wondering what sorts of utilities I can run to try and get a better picture of what is actually wrong with the machine, and also if anyone has any idea if Dell will give me a hard time about replacing things | 18:56 |
| edbian_ | rameshwo: The biggest difference between debian and fedora is the package manager system. Fedora uses .rpm and yum, debian uses .deb and aptitude (so does ubuntu). | 18:56 |
| cabrey | G-ilgha, uhhh they're wrong :) | 18:56 |
| bufflo | is someone familiar with dmraid? when using `dmraid -ay` it says 'no raid disks', but debian found my jmicron ATARAID previously without problems | 18:56 |
| edbian_ | G-ilgha: ext4 can be booted by grub | 18:56 |
| frostburn | msk, i've encountered that before and it's due to filesystem corruption, use a fsck and force the rebuild, i don't recall the exact command | 18:56 |
| G-ilgha | they told me I had to put /boot on an other ext3 partition | 18:56 |
| CartoonCat | rob_p: ya i need the gui. I can pull at 15mb to my core, but to where i am now aobut 1mbit, heh, take a looon time | 18:57 |
| G-ilgha | and / on an ext4 | 18:57 |
| cabrey | G-ilgha, no, ubuntu & fedora's grub can boot ext4 without /boot | 18:57 |
| avegas | rameshwo, fedora packages tend to have more verbose default config files IMHO | 18:57 |
| msk | frostburn: i can't get into the console to do a fsck ! | 18:57 |
| edbian_ | G-ilgha: That is most likely outdated information. I was booting ubuntu for a good 2 months using ext4 | 18:57 |
| cabrey | ^ | 18:57 |
| frostburn | avegas, what sort of symptoms are you seeing? i'd recommend getting another hdd/partition for windows and calling dell tech support on any symptoms as well | 18:57 |
| G-ilgha | ok :-) great news ! | 18:57 |
| frostburn | msk, you need to use a live cd, either your ubuntu disk or a knoppix disk | 18:57 |
| mcphail | G-ilgha: if you convert from ext3 to ext4, make sure you update your version of grub | 18:58 |
| Abdurahman | quit | 18:58 |
| msk | frostburn: i did a fsck earlier, reported some errors..& the console got stuck | 18:58 |
| G-ilgha | mcphail, how ? | 18:58 |
| edbian_ | avegas: good luck with dell tech support. Most of the calls are forwarded to Bangledish, India (<- spelling?) | 18:58 |
| msk | frostburn: ok.. | 18:58 |
| frostburn | msk, fsck --force /dev/sd1 (or whathaveyou) | 18:58 |
| Abdurahman | lol | 18:58 |
| cabrey | G-ilgha, I wouldn't convert your file system, you don't reep all of the benefits anyways | 18:58 |
| rob_p | CartoonCat, Yeah, the Desktop versions are 700+ MB while the server is like 160MB. But if you need the UI, I guess you'll be downloading for a while. | 18:58 |
| rameshwo | edbian_ ::: ubuntU DEVELOPERS CAN WALK ON WATER ? MEANING ? | 18:58 |

| edbian_ | rameshwo: cabrey wanted me to give the ubuntu developers more credit. I was joking (1/2 joking really, they're brilliant people). | 18:59 |

| frostburn | avegas, hard drives are very fragile beasts in laptops, one wrong jostle and the head hits the platter | 19:00 |
| edbian_ | G-ilgha: There are rumors that updating ext3 to ext4 is not quite the same as a fresh ext4 install. I don't know why but you should research it before so that you know exactly what you're getting into. | 19:00 |
| cabrey | edbian_, if you go from ext3 > ext4 you don't get all the benefits of a ext4 fs from the start | 19:01 |
| msk | frostburn: what will when i run this "fsck --force /dev/sd1" will the errors get corrected ? | 19:01 |
| frostburn | msk, it did for me, but your mileage may vary | 19:01 |
| edbian_ | G-ilgha: there ya go! ^ What cabrey siad. | 19:01 |
| msk | frostburn: what will happen when i run this "fsck --force /dev/sd1" will the errors get corrected ? | 19:01 |
| edbian_ | msk: If you harddrive is broken and the laptop is still under warranty... | 19:02 |
| G-ilgha | you make me hesitate | 19:02 |
| msk | edbian_: i am not usinf a laptop..! | 19:02 |

| rameshwo | anyone please can send me some links where i can find linux or ubuntu video tutorials ?? | 19:03 |
| fccf | G-ilgha: with good reason - personally I believe ext4 to be too bleeding edge for use in production systems | 19:03 |
| frostburn | msk are you using a seagate drive over 750gb? | 19:03 |
| edbian_ | avegas: If you're harddrive is broken but the laptop is still under warranty... | 19:03 |

| rameshwo | Pici : thanks. | 19:04 |
| msk | frostburn: 40gb for ubuntu, remaining for winne... | 19:04 |
| avegas | edbian_, yeah, I'm thinking that I'll call dell, annoying thing is that I bought the laptop so I'd be able to do some work on a month long road trip I'm starting friday | 19:04 |
| G-ilgha | / and /boot are on the same partition on my computer | 19:04 |
| frostburn | msk, yeah, i'd run the fsck, and contact customer support if it's still bad and get a replacement if it's under warranty | 19:04 |

| edbian_ | avegas: Have fun with dell!! The are going to want to remote control you computer (they always want to do that). I don't know how their tech support feels about linux. Although they do sell some laptops with ubuntu pre-installed. | 19:05 |

| msk | frostburn: i am getting this softlock "bug" after a unsuccessful fsck... | 19:07 |

| msk | frostburn: no. | 19:08 |
| onyx | john__: wich sound card do you use | 19:08 |
| avegas | cabrey, do you think that they will try and refuse to support my hardware if I admit to having installed ubuntu? | 19:08 |

| edbian_ | avegas: What exactly is the issue? Does the system not boot ubuntu from the harddrive? | 19:12 |
| cabrey | avegas, worst comes to worst hang up. install vista, then call back | 19:12 |

| MGollum | tx cabrey, i found what i was looking for | 19:14 |
| cabrey | yewk, you dont need to go to a virtual tty | 19:14 |
| cabrey | frostburn, thanks, noted | 19:15 |
| maxbaldwin | Does ubuntu (specifically, a recently updated&upgraded version of 9.04) have OpenGL installed by default | 19:15 |
| yewk | thanks for the heads up | 19:15 |
| cporter | Thanks, I'll just kill the gdm sessions | 19:15 |
| cabrey | maxbaldwin, yes | 19:15 |
| Dracofodder | is there anything, built in to ubuntu, or easily installable, to allow me to performance check my system? I just doubled up the memory on this old desktop, and am wondering if there is a quantitative way to see if it did any good. | 19:15 |
| LjL | maxbaldwin: yes (it's required to run Compiz for a start) | 19:16 |
| squidly_ | awesome! | 19:16 |
| fccf | Dracofodder: top or system>admin>systemmoniter | 19:16 |
| maxbaldwin | cabrey, LjL: Alright, then I know that's not the problem. Thanks! | 19:16 |
| cabrey | Dracofodder, run an intensive program like a prime number finder | 19:16 |
| squidly_ | I just installed 9.04 - I am very impressed | 19:16 |
| heleen | Hello | 19:16 |
| Lounge | hello | 19:16 |
| fccf | !hi | heleen | 19:16 |
| ubottu | heleen: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 19:16 |
| fccf | heleen: can we help you with something today?? | 19:17 |
| Dracofodder | cabrey: that would work for the mem... but step two in my update process is to add a better videocard. would like to have one app to run, and check system. then do it again after the next update. | 19:17 |
| mweichert | hello, is there any way to generate a debian package from an existing system? For example, I have a kernel installed on my system, and can display it using dpkg -l, but I would liket o generate a .deb package for that kernel to install on another machine. Is this possible? | 19:17 |
| Dracofodder | fccf: I'll take a look thanks.! | 19:17 |

| petsounds | hello, is it safe to install mac4lin? thank you | 19:19 |
| cabrey | !details | uskrewed | 19:20 |
| ubottu | uskrewed: 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 ..." | 19:20 |
| frostburn | uskrewed, cpu and ram are mutually exclusive, increasing usage of one has no impact of usage of the other, unless we're talking about paging to disk, but that's completely different | 19:20 |
| avegas | edbian_,cabrey http://nopaste.org/p/akoz2ldSd | 19:21 |
| avegas | or, anybody else with hw know how | 19:21 |
| jwfoxjr | frostburn: goign to give this another shot - looks like I may have purged the entire system finally! | 19:22 |
| uskrewed | It's just confusing me because my CPU usage is very high (I'm using system monitor) like always above 60% and mem usage is very low (like 130mb) but on windows cpu usage was hardly above 40% and mem was 400 | 19:22 |
| frostburn | avegas, you'll want to follow the same suggestion i had for another gentlemen, run a fsck --force /dev/sda1 (or whatever your partition is) using a live cd, ubuntu, knoppix | 19:22 |
| rameshwo | anyone ? link to good visual linux tutorials.. | 19:22 |
| fccf | rameshwo: uhh ... youtube | 19:22 |
| cabrey | avegas, that does sound like a hdd problem. tho i had a similar issue with i/o errors but the hdd wasnt actually going | 19:23 |
| avegas | cabrey, yeah sucks | 19:23 |
| rameshwo | youtube doesn't have good quality....and most of them do different things then their name shows.. | 19:23 |
| avegas | cabrey, maybe dell will let me just send them the hdd? | 19:23 |
| jwfoxjr | frostburn: ok - installed that time - must have been a library or something that didn't get removed - I just startted using 'purge' today... | 19:23 |
| schwarz_p | is it possible to export firefox saved passwords and then import them in epiphany? | 19:24 |
| jwfoxjr | frostburn: much better than 'remove' | 19:24 |
| frostburn | uskrewed, what process is using the cpu? run a $top then hit shift P | 19:24 |
| mikejet | is there a channel to get help on OpenOffice Writer ? I want to know how to insert the "1/2" character into a document. | 19:24 |
| cabrey | avegas, that might work, tell them your hdd died and would like to get a new one as per your warrantry but first try what frostburn suggested | 19:24 |
| ruadh | Are there any internet browsers available for the ubuntu server? | 19:24 |
| frostburn | ruadh, lynx, links2 | 19:24 |

| fccf | coreyman: that would be very offtopic here | 19:25 |
| lakedenman | And I have to reboot it in order to get connection to the internetz again. :( | 19:26 |
| avegas | cabrey,frostburn, sounds like a plan, thanks for your help | 19:26 |
| uskrewed | frostburn: atm I'm ripping a dvd, but I was talking in general. the things using my cpu are konversation (IRC) pidgin, ktorrent, and skype. Aside from that it's just general ubuntu OS programs | 19:26 |
| coreyman | fccf and how do you figure? I have a question about something that has to do with ubuntu pertaining to my flexbuilder install | 19:26 |
| jwfoxjr | is it better to just use the lamp virtual package or install the individual lamp stack components? | 19:26 |
| cabrey | uskrewed, you have to be specific | 19:26 |
| frostburn | uskrewed, ripping a dvd should use all available cpu cycles | 19:27 |
| frostburn | if you want your desktop to be more responsive, you'll want to renice your dvd ripping program | 19:27 |
| fccf | coreyman: the builder doesn't run in ubuntu | 19:27 |
| uskrewed | I know, I'm not complaining about it being high now, I realize ripping a dvd puts lots of load. I'm speaking generally, like with the PC idling. | 19:27 |
| frgr | anybody here using ubuntu on a macbook with an international keyboard layout? how did you get all the keys to work? | 19:27 |
| uskrewed | would you like me to past the processes in here once I've finished my dvdripping? | 19:28 |
| frostburn | uskrewed, yep | 19:28 |
| uskrewed | okay | 19:28 |
| rameshwo | guys. please anyone can send me any old distros that they do not need now.. i need old ubuntu or others. coz i have little old computer ubuntu 2004/2005 would do | 19:28 |
| tvoet_ | does anyone know of a fix for remote desktop on jaunty where the target computer doesn't refresh the screen? for example i click on a button, don't see anything, but if i disconnect and reconnect the action occured fine | 19:28 |
| uskrewed | be back in 3 hours then | 19:28 |
| frostburn | frgr, you might want to check with the other ubuntu channels specific to the language you're using | 19:29 |
| frostburn | tvoet_, vnc or rdp? | 19:29 |
| frostburn | and what's the target os? | 19:29 |
| tvoet_ | frostburn, i'm assuming VNC, it's the "Remote Desktop" bundled with ubuntu ( i'm going from Ubuntu Jaunty to Ubuntu Jaunty ) | 19:30 |
| cabrey | tvoet_, yea thats VNC | 19:30 |
| frostburn | tvoet_, that's vnc, is it on the same network segment, or over a wan? | 19:30 |
| cabrey | tvoet_, honestly VNC sucks I would go with nx | 19:30 |
| tvoet_ | frostburn, cabrey it's over ssh tunnel | 19:30 |
| rameshwo | will shipit ship me ubuntu of 2004\2005 ?? | 19:30 |
| tvoet_ | cabrey nx? | 19:31 |
| frostburn | i've had issues where vnc would have to send too much traffic and the connection would just crap out and i'd need to reconnect, i'm sure there's some buffer you can increase/decrease to tune performance | 19:31 |
| cabrey | !nx | 19:31 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 19:31 |
| cabrey | tvoet_, even better, nx uses ssh natively | 19:31 |
| tehwaffles | how do I use ssh with a key that does not have a pass phrase? | 19:31 |
| fccf | cabrey: please don't diss VNC .. it works very well for me .. I can sit at starbucks all day and access my server | 19:31 |
| tehwaffles | gives permission denied when I enter a blank pass phrase | 19:31 |
| cabrey | fccf, I get horrible lag even on the same LAN | 19:31 |
| tvoet_ | does nx support other clients than linux, i occasionnally access it from a windows box | 19:32 |
| ozzmosis | tvoet_: yes | 19:32 |
| cabrey | tvoet_, yes, linux os x solaris windows etc | 19:32 |
| frostburn | tehwaffles, you'll need to provide the correct pass phrase or buy a timeslice on a cluster to crack it =] | 19:32 |
| tvoet_ | they my next question might be stupid, but why isn't the default in Jaunty nx? | 19:32 |
| fccf | cabrey: I live in a place where 3mbit connections are commonplace so lagging is not an issue | 19:32 |
| tehwaffles | frostburn: I use the key with putty on windows and have never entered a passphrase iirc | 19:32 |
| mweichert | fccf, I cannot find out how to do exactly what I need to do. The classroom talks about building a .deb package from sources... however, I want to build a debian packages from the dpkg database | 19:32 |
| ozzmosis | tvoet_: the windows client isn't open source, afaik | 19:32 |
| Pici | rameshwo: I believe they only send 9.04 CDs. | 19:32 |
| cabrey | fccf, no matter how much bandwidth i give it, it still lags | 19:33 |
| cabrey | tvoet_, no idea tbh | 19:33 |
| tvoet_ | ozzmosis, is anything on windows ever open source? | 19:33 |
| tvoet_ | tbh? | 19:33 |
| cporter | gdm crashed so I restarted my computer, and now user switching is gone from the quit applet... | 19:33 |
| mweichert | fccf, maybe this isn't possible? | 19:33 |
| ozzmosis | tvoet_: quite a lot these days actualy | 19:33 |
| rameshwo | Pici ; i feel the same but i would be more happy in getting old distros.. | 19:33 |
| sv_osusr | does anyone know how to build firefox with debug symbols turned on, the apt-get sources way.i want to trace my crash to the sources it was built with | 19:33 |
| ozzmosis | l | 19:33 |
| tvoet_ | cabrey tbh? | 19:33 |
| cabrey | tvoet_, to be honest | 19:33 |
| fccf | cabrey: funny, I am using UltraVNC on a windows xp client ... works really well | 19:33 |
| tvoet_ | cabrey thanks | 19:33 |
| rameshwo | can i get some good people who can send their old cds to me ?? | 19:33 |
| cporter | Anyone know how to get the quit applet to show switch user again? | 19:33 |
| ozzmosis | rameshwo: what for? (not that I have any) | 19:33 |
| fccf | rameshwo: why do you want people's old cd | 19:34 |
| fccf | s | 19:34 |
| cabrey | rameshwo, you can d/l 8.04 | 19:34 |
| nocleader | rameshwo: There are only bad people here :) | 19:34 |
| rameshwo | ozzmosis: pici : i have old computer so .. 9.04 runs pretty slow...in my 256 mb ram and 735 mhz.. | 19:34 |
| nlindblad | Has anyone had any success installing Ubuntu on a computer with an ATi 9600 card? | 19:34 |
| rameshwo | nocleader: no . you're wrong.... | 19:34 |
| cabrey | rameshwo, request a 9.04 cd, then install xubuntu-desktop | 19:35 |
| fccf | cporter: i think if you lock-screen you can switch from the lock screen | 19:35 |
| cabrey | nlindblad, use the open source drivers, its listed as working | 19:35 |
| ozzmosis | rameshwo: you can still download ISOs of the older versions. xubuntu-desktop might be worth a look. 9.04 runs alright on an Asus 850 MHz laptop I have here. 256 MB RAM. | 19:35 |
| rameshwo | ozzmosis : cabrey : the problem.is . i have dial_up internet.. takes hours n hours .... | 19:35 |
| rameshwo | i would be happy if shipit would ship xubuntu for me.. | 19:36 |
| cporter | fccf, I guess that will work... | 19:36 |
| cabrey | rameshwo, hmm borrow somebody else's connection? | 19:36 |

| ozzmosis | rameshwo: I think in your situation I'd borrow someone's broadband connection for a day, install 9.04 then apt-get xubuntu-desktop. | 19:37 |
| rameshwo | fccf: i'm a student i don't have such cards to pay . otherwise i would do it.. | 19:38 |
| pro-rsoft | Why do I have to be root to access /dev/raw1394 ? | 19:38 |
| ozzmosis | where is edu.np? Nepal? hmm. | 19:38 |
| JockyWilson | i know cabrec, what is typical encoding time for = VOB 700mb file to Divx (Hardware amd 6000 8gb ram) it is taking 15mins surely it should be much quicker? | 19:38 |
| frostburn | pro-rsoft, that's not userspace | 19:38 |
| rameshwo | yes NEPAL...... | 19:39 |
| JockyWilson | i eexpect well under 5 minutes? | 19:39 |
| cabrey | JockyWilson, what encoder? | 19:39 |
| rameshwo | ozzmosis nEPAL.. | 19:39 |
| pro-rsoft | frostburn, well I'd like to be able to get videos from my camera without having to run as root | 19:39 |
| ozzmosis | rameshwo: ok :) | 19:39 |
| * pro-rsoft uses "kino" btw | 19:39 | |
| fccf | pro-rsoft: are you using dvgrab? | 19:39 |
| ozzmosis | JockyWilson: the encoder may only be using a single core | 19:39 |

| mrmac | eist | 19:40 |
| avegas | \q | 19:40 |

| cabrey | JockyWilson, what encoder? and 700mb of mpeg2 video -> divx is still a lot of data to crunch through.... | 19:41 |
| frostburn | pro-rsoft, then use hald the way it's supposed to be used | 19:41 |
| rameshwo | mneptok : many thanks. i didn't know .. | 19:41 |

| glagios | kopetet | 19:42 |
| JockyWilson | and divx cant encode 700mb vob file in under 15 miuntes? | 19:42 |
| ozzmosis | JockyWilson: dvdshrink isn't really reencoding, just dropping mpeg2 data at certain intervals | 19:42 |
| magyar_ | hi, what package do i need for ubuntu to be able to do build from tgz source code? | 19:43 |
| fccf | !ask | glagios | 19:43 |

| ozzmosis | JockyWilson: is that under Ubuntu? I haven't heard of that | 19:44 |
| pro-rsoft | frostburn, if I run kino as root it works | 19:44 |
| cabrey | JockyWilson, that is a windows based program | 19:44 |
| Treyh | frostburn, so 8 gigs on a dell power edge server wouldn't max it otu? | 19:44 |
| pro-rsoft | fccf, dvgrab also requires root rights | 19:44 |
| ozzmosis | Treyh: 8 GB is fine for 64-bit | 19:45 |
| frostburn | magyar_, gcc can compile most anything under the sun | 19:45 |
| JockyWilson | no it is in windows, linux video encoding is a nightmare just to buggy from experience | 19:45 |

| cabrey | !details | s0101 | 19:48 |
| ubottu | s0101: 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 ..." | 19:48 |
| frostburn | magyar_, yes | 19:48 |
| nlindblad | Can I force a refresh rate on the Live-CD? | 19:49 |
| fccf | JockyWilson: I have done quite a bit of encoding with dvd::rip .. yes it is slow... you are encoding video -- mulitpass --- gunna take time... | 19:49 |
| ozzmosis | nlindblad: I think so | 19:49 |
| rameshwo | #ubuntu | 19:49 |
| frostburn | s0101, what's the error? | 19:49 |
| nlindblad | ozzmosis: How? Can't find the correct flags | 19:49 |
| s0101 | I see the window with the updates but when i press install nothing happends | 19:49 |
| JockyWilson | not the software the encoding time for a 700mb vob file is a joke 15mins+ | 19:49 |
| s0101 | belive me i am not stupid this is not my first update ;) | 19:49 |
| tvoet_ | cabrey, nice i just got locked out of my machine. everytime i try to login, i get a too many authentication failures | 19:49 |
| cabrey | JockyWilson, what software were you using that was taking 15 minutes? | 19:49 |
| s0101 | it suddenly | 19:50 |
| s0101 | happen | 19:50 |
| JockyWilson | TotalVideoiConverter | 19:50 |
| cabrey | tvoet_, what do you mean? you got locked out from the server machine? | 19:50 |
| frostburn | s0101, can you run the update manually, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:50 |
| ozzmosis | nlindblad: flags? whereabouts? you can set the refresh rate in the display settings from inside GNOME. | 19:50 |
| fccf | JockyWilson: I don't know of software in linux that would do that -- even on new hardware --- TotalVideoConverter is not supported here | 19:50 |
| s0101 | everytime i do that i get that window with update manager | 19:50 |
| tvoet_ | cabrey, meaning i was SSH'ed into the machine when i tried to run the setup, and when i restarted the SSH process, i can't login anymore ( with any of the account si have on the machine ) | 19:51 |
| cabrey | JockyWilson, we can't help you with that. it is windows software running under wine I'm assuming | 19:51 |
| s0101 | omg | 19:51 |
| JockyWilson | is there a simple (fast) vob to divx converter in linux? | 19:51 |
| frostburn | JockyWilson, handbrake | 19:51 |
| s0101 | you right i cant do that from the terminal | 19:51 |
| Pici | !enter | s0101 | 19:51 |

| s0101 | i could before | 19:51 |
| JockyWilson | or vob to xvid in linux? | 19:51 |
| tvoet_ | cabrey, it royally messed up my SSH, no way in anymore. have to wait to get home to try and UNDO from the actual console. even my gitosis setup got fried | 19:52 |
| frostburn | s0101, ps -ef|grep synaptic | 19:52 |
| nlindblad | ozzmosis: The Live-CD won't start properly | 19:52 |
| hafid | ya qlq1 ki parle francaisd ici | 19:52 |

| cabrey | tvoet_, that doesnt make any sense. nx should use the existing ssh service | 19:53 |
| nlindblad | ozzmosis: Even with "safe graphics mode" it will go blank and the monitor states that the input is "out of range" | 19:53 |
| ozzmosis | JockyWilson: mencoder is pretty simple once you understand how to use it. | 19:53 |
| s0101 | wierd now it works i had this problem for a week but now i only get 14 mb of 147 mb | 19:53 |
| nlindblad | ozzmosis: I need to configure the graphics manually before the live-cd starts | 19:53 |

| tvoet_ | cabrey, the service is still there, but i can't ssh into any of my user accounts | 19:53 |

| ozzmosis | lakedenman: sounds like a hardware fault. I assume the server is freezing. | 19:56 |
| lakedenman | ozzmosis: the connection drops (internet, ssh). The server still runs fine. Just drops internet. | 19:57 |
| ozzmosis | lakedenman: ah. anything in the logs? | 19:58 |
| newUbux | i did the sudo update thing, should I install all the updates? | 19:58 |

| ozzmosis | newUbux: they are security updates | 20:00 |

| sweetde | really, I should ask the question to everyone more generally. I had a working Tivo connection to my vmware XP client in my Ubuntu64 server. Then I started using a wireless card instead of eth cable. So vmware no longer lets me bridge eth connections with wireless devices, so I had to start using NAT, and now XP can't see the Tivo box. So my idea is to forward the tivo ports to/from the internal NAT. | 20:28 |

| frostburn | gh0st, what netbook? | 20:31 |
| gh0st | frostburn: Skype will not work on 9.04 UNR | 20:31 |
| frostburn | gh0st, it works in mine and video chat works fine | 20:31 |
| Axz | i'll have a question about Radeon HD drivers is there stable one to be installed? that will also work with Monitor standby | 20:31 |
| sweetde | <frostburn> I know, sorry its hard to explain. I need to forward traffic from the wireless nic to the internal network that vmware forced me to set up. and vice-versa. | 20:31 |
| gh0st | frostburn: acer aspire one, the password field goes insane, it thinks im holding down the underscore button. its the only area/prog that does that | 20:32 |
| sweetde | <frostburn> so Tivo is 192.168.1.10, wireless nic is 192.168.1.31. XP machine is now 192.168.96.128 | 20:32 |
| gh0st | frostburn: ive even tryed writing my password into gedit, then pasting it in, it doesnt work. | 20:32 |
| Dracofodder | ltcabral: have you tried something like "find . -name Things* 2>/dev/null -exec cat {} \;" this example assumes I'm looking for all files starting with "Things".... and I figured this out from http://www.linuxclues.com/articles/19.htm | 20:32 |

| frostburn | gh0st, do you have a stuck key? sudo cat /dev/psaux | 20:34 |
| buntufans | any webcam chat in irc? | 20:34 |
| sweetde | <frostburn> I would have thought the simple routing table would forward the traffic because any packet going to 192.168.96.x should go through 'vmnet8' device. but Tivo stopped working, as well as at least one other service I had running on XP | 20:34 |
| gh0st | frostburn: no stuck keys, its the only field doing this, and the only program | 20:34 |
| fccf | buntufans: this is the ubuntu support channel - you might want to type /list for a list of channels on this server | 20:35 |
| buntufans | thanks | 20:35 |
| gh0st | frostburn:besides, pasting in my password would have eliminated that issue :) | 20:35 |
| frostburn | sweetde, that's hard to troubleshoot since i don't know what tivo requires for operation, i'd run a wireshark/tcpdump off the line that the tivo is connected to and see what ports it's using | 20:35 |

| ubottu | togetic: 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. | 21:27 |
| edbian | tunnlrat: That's ok! Linux is more fun. It probably would have take you even longer to do it in windows. I am going to walk you through the command I will give you 1 piece at a time. The first piece is "sudo" this give you root power. The second is "chown" which stands for change owner. Every file in the linux filesystem has an owner. Then "your username" you put your username here. When the command is done you will be the new owner. Then lastly | 21:27 |
| edbian | the file /disk. You can use a relative name since you are already in that folder. | 21:27 |
| edbian | tunnlrat: The whole thing put together is: sudo chown tunnlrat /disk | 21:27 |
| edbian | tunnlrat: Alternatively sudo chown tunnlrat /media/disk (both work the same) | 21:27 |

| bc | Slart: where you using apt-cache or a web interface somewhere? (if so, where? :)) | 21:30 |
| edbian | tunnlrat: That lost + found folder is part of the ext3 filesystem. It must be there. It is used when the system crashes. It places the running data in there to recover from. | 21:30 |
| ricardol | slart: it is installed | 21:31 |

| Slart | ricardol: oh.. now why didn't you say so.. you need the dev-package then | 21:34 |
| edbian | tunnlrat: if you use nautilus and right click on the file and hit properties you can look at the permissions under the permissions tab. This gives a little clearer idea of the permissions policy. | 21:34 |

| ricardol | yes, i just saw that, i am downlading it now | 21:35 |
| Slart | ricardol: the dev package contains headers and so on.. the normal package is just the binaries.. usually when you compile something and it complains about something you need the -dev package | 21:35 |

| cabrey | oldskooo, how are you archiving files/folders? | 21:42 |
| edbian | tunnlrat: Uhh... I can't because I'm running a liveCD so my fstab is a joke compared to yours. Anyway be specific and ask questions. I have edited /etc/fstab many times before. | 21:42 |
| Slart | Eroick: hmm.. well.. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful with this.. | 21:43 |
| oldskooo | i have a program that just auto creates files, on my other linux systems in the past it didn't archive them | 21:43 |
| oldskooo | is there a setting somewhere that I can turn this auto feature off | 21:43 |
| Eroick | Slart: that's alright, it seems sort of helpless... :(. maybe I'll end up going mac. | 21:43 |

| tunnlrat | edbian: alright i think i should be okay the drive just doesn't auto mount and show up on the desktop but i can live with that it shows up when i go down to places and that brings it up onto the desktop for access | 21:44 |
| cabrey | oldskooo, what is the full file extension of the final archive? | 21:44 |
| edbian | tunnlrat: Are you sure you want to give up? I am very confident that we can get it to auto-mount for you. | 21:44 |
| cabrey | tunnlrat, you want it to automount in nautilus? | 21:45 |
| cabrey | tunnlrat, i think there is a setting for that | 21:45 |

| ecryptVictim | lstarnes: I cannot believe that :( I have the password and remember it. But what do I need else... | 23:52 |
| lex_well | hwilde, I will try it, thanks! | 23:52 |
| Oven1 | I installed it by going through the Hardware Drivers menu option. I am using the 180.44 driver | 23:53 |
| fccf | Oven1: i'd like to see your xorg.conf | 23:53 |
| Oven1 | I have the nvidia x server setting application. That will change my display. Xrandr works for all other display settings | 23:53 |
| Oven1 | OK one moment | 23:53 |
| Oven1 | Can you shoot me the link for the pastebin | 23:53 |

| da_man2009 | Hello everyone. I recently ordered the latest version of Ubuntu (desktop version 9.04) and upon booting the LiveCD from the CDROM I get an error: BUG: INT 14: CR2 ffffb0f0. I've researched the Ubuntu forums and a myriad of articles on Google but I've been unsuccessful in finding something that helps. | 23:54 |
