| bill-e1 | hi all | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Dethroned | Do I need to change unallocated HD space to the same Ext3 format as Ubuntu in order to combine the partitions? | 00:00 |
| utueh | Dethroned: you using lvm? | 00:00 |
| Dethroned | lvm? | 00:01 |
| utueh | linux volume manager | 00:01 |
| Dethroned | GPart | 00:01 |
| Hilikus | for reliability, should i go with ext4 or jfs? | 00:01 |
| utueh | Dethroned: are the partitions side by side? | 00:01 |
| texasjack | Teltariat, that's the fatal reason that I never ever upgraded an OS... Always install'em from "zero"... | 00:01 |
| Teltariat | texasjack: too much stuff on here for me to star from scratch again | 00:02 |
| Teltariat | just can't do that | 00:02 |
| Dethroned | utueh: my linux partition is broken up into 3 parts. there's 2 2 gig parts and then the swap. the unallocated is right above the first 2 gig part | 00:02 |
| Hilikus | Teltariat me too, i've been updating since 7.1 without a problem. just to let you know its ok to do that | 00:02 |
| Dethroned | which I don't think is the actual ubuntu | 00:02 |
| bill-e1 | I'm kinda new to linux and have a few questions I I may. First, when installed eeeubuntu on my asus 1000he, it asked for may name and a password. When I go into terminal and type "su -" and give that password it doest accept it. so my question is how do I get superuser access? | 00:02 |
| texasjack | Teltariat, yeah. Every case is different. Here the backups are made weekly. =) | 00:02 |
| Teltariat | heh | 00:02 |
| Teltariat | Hilikus: you've no doubt experienced quirks when upgrading, yes? | 00:03 |
| Hilikus | Teltariat yes, but never losing stuff | 00:03 |
| Teltariat | like right now | 00:03 |
| utueh | Dethroned: well, you should be able to delete the second part, then resize the first, though be carefull | 00:03 |
| Teltariat | my machine can't open PDF's | 00:03 |
| texasjack | Dethroned, one thing: gparted is secure. I never had one single problem with. | 00:03 |
| ohir | bill-e1: use sudo | 00:03 |
| Dethroned | utueh: I want to know how to the combine the allocated with the actual ubuntu partition | 00:04 |
| ohir | bill-e1: ubuntu way is: sudo command_that_must_be_run_with_root_priviledges | 00:04 |
| texasjack | bill-e1, Ubuntu, per default, block the super user access. Use sudo instead. | 00:05 |
| ohir | bill-e1: for more information about sudo: read (in terminal) man sudo | 00:05 |
| Dethroned | One of the partitions is labeled Extended...the other is EXt3 and the last is swap | 00:05 |
| Teltariat | oh you guys rock! "apt-get --reinstall install nautilus-data" & "apt-get --reinstall install shared-mime-info" worked; problem is fixed, and on top of that I can open PDFs again | 00:05 |
| Teltariat | Thank you | 00:05 |
| utueh | Dethroned: my last suggestion should result in you having one big partition, were you to want to combine them look into lvm | 00:05 |
| texasjack | Teltariat, ;) I told 'ya, brotha tux! =P | 00:05 |
| utueh | though lvm would be pointless from what i have heard of you case | 00:05 |
| bill-e1 | ok, so can I browse the directories like that. I want to edit the grub.conf so I can add my Moblin SD card to the boot list....is that possible? | 00:05 |
| AssociateX | Hello | 00:06 |
| bdizzle | hi, having a slight error with the package manager. it was doing an auto update and it froze in the middle of it | 00:06 |
| Dethroned | utueh: All I want to know is how to combine an unallocated partition with my EXT3 partition...do I need to convert the unallocated to EXT3 in order to combine them? | 00:06 |
| Jeruvy | !grub | bill-e1: there are some issues with SD cards, but as for grub | 00:06 |
| ubottu | bill-e1: there are some issues with SD cards, but as for grub: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:06 |
| deluxor | hello ALLL | 00:06 |
| AssociateX | no matter what app I open the windowing system is not working, the app shows but no borders | 00:07 |
| bdizzle | I tried switching to command line, but it won't let me use "sudo apt-get install <package name>" stating that there is an administrative lock on it. Anyonek know how to get out of that lock? | 00:07 |
| oenone | can I use my usb headset in ubuntu 9.04 | 00:07 |
| oenone | a4tech usb headset | 00:07 |
| utueh | Dethroned: no, just expand the first is the unallocated is right beside it | 00:07 |
| utueh | expand = resize | 00:07 |
| bill-e1 | thanks | 00:07 |
| ohir | bill-e1: sudo 'youreditor' filetoedit | 00:07 |
| Dethroned | utueh: It's above it...they are listed vertically | 00:07 |
| utueh | Dethroned: i have done that before with gparted, worked fine | 00:08 |
| texasjack | bdizzle, synaptic or Update Manger, or some kind of this, is running in background. You have to stop and kill that process... | 00:08 |
| bdizzle | okay | 00:08 |
| bdizzle | thanks | 00:08 |
| utueh | Dethroned: what partition program are you using, what verioin of ubuntu? | 00:08 |
| Dethroned | utueh: Gpart and 9.04 | 00:08 |
| bdizzle | got it, thank you all | 00:08 |
| texasjack | bdizzle, a single log out may resolve if you can't catch the right process. | 00:09 |
| Dethroned | utueh: Do I want to extend the part of the partition labeled "Extended" or "EXT3" | 00:09 |
| methtownblue | hey everyone | 00:09 |
| Joseph3315 | hey | 00:10 |
| methtownblue | what's up | 00:10 |
| AssociateX | what is the windowing system called? | 00:10 |
| AssociateX | my apps have no borders | 00:10 |
| Joseph3315 | losers | 00:10 |
| AssociateX | lol | 00:10 |
| texasjack | Dethroned, there are 2 types of partitions: Primary and Extended. MAX: Primary = 4. Extended = 255 (but the Extended partition is one of the four primary...). Nothing to do with ext3. I guess... | 00:11 |
| VCoolio | AssociateX: try "metacity --replace" | 00:11 |

| bazhang | oenone, best to ask in channel not PM people | 00:13 |

| oenone | ok | 00:14 |
| oenone | ill try | 00:14 |
| oenone | how do I install a usb heatset in ubuntu 9.04 | 00:14 |
| oenone | ? | 00:14 |
| bazhang | oenone, a hardware install? | 00:16 |
| texasjack | oenone, no idea... | 00:16 |
| bazhang | oenone, or do you mean a headset? | 00:16 |
| oenone | headset | 00:16 |
| UnderPressure | hi | 00:16 |
| oenone | I have an a4tech usb headset | 00:16 |
| oenone | but I can't get it to work on ubuntu 9.04 | 00:16 |
| bazhang | oenone, are you trying to use skype with a usb headset? or something else | 00:16 |
| oenone | yup | 00:17 |
| oenone | and also if I want to listen to musik | 00:17 |
| chronicusprime | weird situation here. | 00:17 |
| oenone | but I can't get it to work | 00:17 |
| chronicusprime | my system cannot find acpi-cpufreq | 00:17 |
| chronicusprime | nor speedstep centrino | 00:17 |
| bazhang | yep to skype? or yep to something else? | 00:17 |
| oenone | both | 00:17 |
| bazhang | oenone, how did you install skype? | 00:18 |
| oenone | I want to use my usb headset for skype , yahoo, and listening to music | 00:18 |
| oenone | but I can't | 00:18 |
| texasjack | bazhang, www.skype.com | 00:18 |
| errors-FoFo | can someone help me with a question? | 00:18 |
| methtownblue | yep | 00:19 |
| sofia1 | Hi All, Does anyone know where the functionality of Alt+Printscreen is ? | 00:19 |
| errors-FoFo | i cant take a ss or record a demo one et game | 00:19 |
| errors-FoFo | :S | 00:19 |
| errors-FoFo | *enemy territory game | 00:19 |
| bazhang | oenone, did you use the skype repo, or the medibuntu one | 00:19 |
| oenone | sorry sir but I don't know | 00:20 |
| errors-FoFo | i've already give premissions to the folder | 00:20 |
| errors-FoFo | but it still wont work | 00:20 |
| errors-FoFo | :S | 00:20 |
| oenone | btw can I use my headset to listen to musik ? | 00:20 |
| texasjack | sofia1, I think it's grab a image shot of the active windows you are. Just PrintScreen takes a shot from the hole screen. But depends if you have some program to do this. | 00:21 |
| zaidric | Is general bash help appropriate for this channel? It involves batch converting mp3 files. | 00:21 |
| bazhang | oenone, which headset? let me do a search on ubuntuforums | 00:21 |
| chronicusprime | Can anyone help me with acpi-cpufreq? | 00:21 |
| Gustavo | in konquerer I can see a samba share under smb:// What is the equivalent mount point in the file system? I need to cp to a remote share | 00:21 |
| oenone | A4tech hd-800 usb headset | 00:22 |
| cypha | HOw do you start something minimized? | 00:22 |
| texasjack | bazhang, don't have a Ubuntu package for Skpye in the official site? | 00:22 |
| sofia1 | texasjack: Do you know of the utility that does that screenshotting ? | 00:22 |
| bazhang | texasjack, in medibuntu.org repos | 00:22 |
| texasjack | sofia1, what Window Manager do you use? | 00:22 |
| kfogel | When I iconified my Emacs (in X Windows, Gnome, on Jaunty), it just disappears. I can't see it on my bottom task bar anywhere. I know it didn't exit, because if I start up a new one, the new one complains that it can't start emacs-server because another one is already running. | 00:22 |
| kfogel | How can I un-minimize my Emacs? :-) | 00:22 |
| Hilikus | is there any GUI to configure fstab? | 00:22 |
| sofia1 | texasjack, I am using jaunty...so compiz I think | 00:23 |
| bazhang | texasjack, also skype has repos | 00:23 |
| texasjack | sofia1, hummm.... Try gnome-screenshot. But have some program that's very tiny and does the same job... | 00:23 |
| chronicusprime | Can anyone help me with acpi-cpufreq? D: | 00:23 |
| chronicusprime | It doesn't seem to exist | 00:23 |
| sofia1 | texasjack: I actually want to take screenshot of just active window | 00:23 |
| texasjack | sofia1, compiz IS NOT a Window Manager... It's just a program that makes you're Window Manager looks 'like a charm'. | 00:23 |
| sofia1 | So I am wondering if there is a utility that does that | 00:24 |
| sofia1 | texasjack, how can I know what window manager I am using ? | 00:24 |
| texasjack | sofia1, search for gnome-screenshot, 'cause now I don't remember the name of the other one that's tiny... I always forgot the name of it... But it's the same thing. | 00:25 |
| FeasibilityStudy | sofia1 compiz has a screenshot utility built in. You can enable it in CCSM | 00:25 |
| Ed54_ | what should i choose for the cpu when compiling a kernel? i did cat /proc/cpuinfo and got "cpu family: 6" | 00:25 |
| zaidric | I have a bunch of mp3 files in /media/BLACKBERRY2/BlackBerry/music/$ARTIST/$Album/$SONGNAME.mp3, I want to batch convert them to 128kbps mp3 to save space. I know lame can encode an mp3 file, but how do I convert them? I think it would be someting like "<mp3 decoder program> | lame -b 128" | 00:25 |
| VCoolio | sofia1: "gnome-screenshot -i" will give you dialog with options | 00:26 |
| texasjack | sofia1, press <PrintScreen> and see what happens. If appears the hole screen in a viewer, probably you're using GNOME, KDE or XFCE, so far as I know.... | 00:26 |
| sofia1 | texasjack, there is a program called xwd that takes dump of the window but if there is another window on top of it...it takes screen shot of that too | 00:26 |
| bazhang | http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=340581 oenone | 00:26 |
| oenone | thanks ill try this | 00:26 |
| texasjack | sofia1, you have to set a timer... try 'xwd --help' to see if it got it. | 00:26 |
| guest2 | Question on the installer for 9.04: at the point of "ready to install", do I need to click "advanced" to tell it do install dual-boot-loader or will it do so automatically... | 00:27 |
| texasjack | Ed54_, cat /proc/cpuinfo tells you everything you need to know what's your processor, not just the family of the CPU. | 00:27 |
| guest2 | question continued: and if "advanced" do I have to specify the location of the boot loader or will the default work? | 00:28 |
| sofia1 | VCoolio, texasjack : there is no package called gnome-screenshot... | 00:28 |
| Ed54_ | texasjack: so where do i find the cpu family? | 00:29 |
| sofia1 | Do you know the package that contains the gnome-screenshot? | 00:29 |
| VCoolio | sofia1: ? did you enter it in terminal or alt-F2 window? I think it comes default with Ubuntu | 00:29 |
| texasjack | sofia1, so it's inside another one... I really sorry, but I can't remember the name of any program, except gnome-screenshot, that does what you want to do. | 00:29 |
| texasjack | Ed54_, "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i family" | 00:30 |
| VCoolio | sofia1: enter it in terminal; it the command is not found it will tell you what package you need | 00:30 |
| sofia1 | VCoolio, texasjack: Where can I find the source for gnome-screenshot | 00:30 |
| Ed54_ | i'm still just getting "cpu family: 6" | 00:30 |
| k1rb_E | im trying to show my desktop on a projector .. im using svideo out on my video ... the projector screen is solid blue | 00:31 |
| kunago | Does anyone have any experience with USB DVB devices? Mine seems not be creating any frontend and there appears to be no clear solution to this. | 00:31 |
| bazhang | sofia1, perhaps in gnome-utils | 00:31 |
| Ed54_ | and that doesn't help me with choosing the cpu family when compiling | 00:31 |
| ubuntu | hello. I have screwed my boot loader and now I am running the ubuntu boot cd. what is the easiest way to re-install the boot loader so that I can boot the existing systems_ | 00:31 |
| texasjack | Ed54_, type just "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and see the whole lines that appears... | 00:31 |
| Ed54_ | it doesn't list anything other than 6 on that line | 00:32 |
| FeasibilityStudy | anyone ever noticed that Exaile is a major memory hog? It has a memory leak somewhere. It starts off using a marginal 60MB and after several hours it is hogging over 300MB. | 00:32 |
| bazhang | FeasibilityStudy, sounds like a bug | 00:32 |
| texasjack | sofia1, I think you'll find it at www.gnome.org... But you don't need to do this. Go to a terminal and type: "sudo synaptic" | 00:32 |
| redorange | How can solve visual effects>>desktop effects could not be enabled problem??? | 00:32 |
| bazhang | !gksudo | texasjack sofia1 | 00:33 |
| ubottu | texasjack sofia1: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:33 |
| texasjack | Ed54_, yes, I know, but that line is JUST the family of your CPU, nothing else.... | 00:33 |
| FeasibilityStudy | bazhang Yeah. However, I am using it with KDE, so that could be an issue. | 00:33 |
| k1rb_E | im trying to show my desktop on a projector .. im using svideo out on my video ... the projector screen is solid blue... anyone know what i need to do? | 00:33 |
| texasjack | bazhang, ubottu, thanks... Didn't know about this. o.O | 00:33 |

| lstarnes | cypha: it depends on the program | 00:35 |
| texasjack | sofia1, please, follow these steps: go to a terminal and type: "gksudo synaptic" | 00:35 |
| lstarnes | cypha: there may not be one | 00:35 |
| bazhang | redorange, do you have the drivers enabled | 00:35 |
| cypha | i want to start skype when the computer starts | 00:35 |
| cypha | but i want it to start minimized | 00:35 |

| sofia1 | ok...I did that gksudo synaptic | 00:36 |
| redorange | bazhang: how can i enable them they are not in hardware drivers | 00:36 |
| oenone | how do I remove pulseaudio? | 00:36 |
| utueh | cypha try a 'skype -h' from a terminal and see it that has a way to do that (like: skype --minimized) | 00:36 |
| AssociateX | utueh: that does not show up in the menu | 00:36 |
| texasjack | sofia1, now click on the button "Search" and looks for 'screenshot', and select "Description and Name". | 00:36 |
| utueh | AssociateX: oops, missed that 'change desktop background' part... then themes | 00:37 |
| lstarnes | oenone: why do you need to remove it? | 00:37 |
| cypha | utueh: didn't work | 00:37 |

| oenone | that's what I read | 00:38 |
| cypha | there isn't a linux option of doing it? | 00:38 |
| cypha | like windows has | 00:38 |
| oenone | I don't know if it would work | 00:38 |
| texasjack | sofia1, now choose one from the many applications that synaptics have listed, and gonna trying... Almost every 'screenshooter' have the option to take a shot of the lonely window, without titlebar... | 00:39 |
| texasjack | sofia1, and you're welcome. For those about Ubuntu, I salute you! ;) | 00:39 |
| utueh | cypha, maybe, but i'm unaware of one, have you checked in preferences of skype? maybe something about notification area... | 00:39 |
| cypha | nope | 00:39 |
| cypha | no option for it | 00:39 |
| cypha | i checked | 00:39 |
| === ralmar is now known as dudeguy | ||
| utueh | cypha: well good luck, the only start option i'm aware of for X11 is the --geometry to set where a program starts on the screen | 00:40 |
| AssociateX | utueh: that is for the theme but I still don't have any widowing system. I can't move any app because none of them have borders. | 00:40 |
| cypha | hmm | 00:40 |
| cypha | k | 00:40 |
| cypha | thanks utueh | 00:40 |
| dudeguy | Hi everyone. I opened a lot of images in different tabs in firefox and when i go to each tab and right click the image and select "save image as" it starts downloading the image again instead of just saving it from the temp files, since the image has already been (down)loaded. How chan i fix this? Thanks | 00:41 |
| Gustavo | I want to print the output of "cp" both to the scree and to a file ... is there a special pipe command that lets me do that? | 00:41 |
| Flannel | Gustavo: command | tee /path/to/file | 00:41 |
| utueh | AssociateX: wow, how'd you do that? can't pick another theme? no window manager? was that like that from the start? you using gnome? | 00:41 |
| Gustavo | Flannel, thank you! | 00:41 |
| AssociateX | I wish I could just restart my desktop | 00:41 |
| redorange | how can i solve visuaş effects problem | 00:41 |

| utueh | AssociateX: do a <ctrl><alt>f1, logon, and then a 'sudo reboot' | 00:43 |
| lstarnes | cypha: the window close button is usually sufficient | 00:44 |
| utueh | <ctrl><alt>f7 to get back to x11 (windows) | 00:44 |

| cypha | what can i do? | 00:44 |
| lstarnes | cypha: give it a few minutes to time out | 00:44 |
| cypha | k | 00:44 |
| lstarnes | cypha: and make sure it's not still running in the background. check ps aux | grep skype | 00:44 |
| cypha | lstarnes: what am i looking for once i type that? | 00:46 |
| cypha | it shows two things | 00:46 |
| lstarnes | cypha: pastebin it | 00:46 |
| cypha | just two lines | 00:47 |
| cypha | raj 6315 81.7 2.8 245724 57324 ? Sl Jun10 1230:10 skype | 00:47 |
| cypha | raj 17277 0.0 0.0 3336 804 pts/2 S+ 19:46 0:00 grep skype | 00:47 |
| lstarnes | cypha: pastebin it | 00:47 |
| lstarnes | cypha: anything longer than one line should usually be pastebinned | 00:47 |
| utueh | AssociateX: better? | 00:47 |
| AssociateX | dang | 00:47 |
| cypha | k, sorry | 00:47 |
| AssociateX | no | 00:47 |
| lstarnes | cypha: that still shows skype as running (line #1) | 00:47 |
| AssociateX | utueh: I wonder what's missing | 00:47 |
| cypha | how do u know? | 00:47 |
| cypha | or what tells u that, rather | 00:48 |
| utueh | AssociateX: you log out/in, or nuke x all together? | 00:48 |
| AssociateX | killall -9 Xorg | 00:48 |
| lstarnes | cypha: ps aux lists all running processes | 00:48 |
| cypha | oh ok | 00:48 |
| cypha | what about the second line? | 00:48 |
| guest2 | Woohoo, I think I managed to troubleshoot my disk issues and install 9.04. Now to reboot and test (hope the boot loader works *fingers crossed*) | 00:48 |
| utueh | AssociateX: weird..., no title bar either? | 00:48 |
| AssociateX | utueh: no I have that. | 00:49 |
| utueh | AssociateX: and you can move the windows by the title bar? | 00:49 |
| AssociateX | utueh: I tried opening a xterm and it's just a white box with no prompt. | 00:49 |
| AssociateX | I think I'm in trouble | 00:49 |
| lstarnes | cypha: that's the "grep skype" part of "ps aux | grep skype". the | pipes the output of ps aux through grep skype. grep is used to search for a pattern and display matching lines | 00:49 |
| AssociateX | lol | 00:49 |
| utueh | AssociateX: yup :) | 00:49 |
| AssociateX | utueh: oh pardon, no, I have no title bar | 00:50 |
| guest2 | !quit | 00:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about quit | 00:50 |
| cypha | lstarnes: k | 00:50 |
| cypha | lstarnes: so how do i end it? | 00:50 |
| redorange | how can visual effects be enabled | 00:50 |
| lstarnes | cypha: this command: kill skype | 00:50 |
| lstarnes | cypha: if that fails, you might need kill -9 skype | 00:50 |
| utueh | AssociateX: what were you doing just before this happened, unloading metacity? | 00:50 |
| cypha | what's -9? | 00:51 |
| cypha | lstarnes: | 00:51 |
| AssociateX | utueh: this is a new install | 00:51 |
| AssociateX | what is the window manager called? gnome? metacity? | 00:51 |
| lstarnes | cypha: -9 is signal 9, or SIGKILL, which forces a program to kill. Without that switch it sends signal 15. which is SIGTERM, which asks a program to quit | 00:51 |
| AssociateX | I want to try to start it manually | 00:51 |
| utueh | AssociateX: what's 'ps -e | grep meta' say? | 00:52 |
| redorange | VISUALLL EFFECTSSS !!!!!!!!! | 00:52 |
| cypha | arguments must be process or job IDs | 00:52 |
| VCoolio | cypha kill needs the pid, so you should do "kill 6315" or "killall skype" or "pkill skype" | 00:52 |
| utueh | # ps -e | grep meta | 00:52 |
| utueh | 3490 ? 00:00:09 metacity | 00:52 |
| cypha | lstarnes | 00:52 |
| utueh | AssociateX: metacity | 00:52 |

| lstarnes | cypha: try pkill instead of kill | 00:52 |
| cypha | k | 00:53 |
| cypha | i did that | 00:53 |
| cypha | then i typed ps aux | grep skype again | 00:53 |
| cypha | and it still shows the same thing | 00:53 |
| VCoolio | cypha now do "kill -9 6315" | 00:53 |
| lstarnes | cypha: try pkill -9 skype | 00:53 |
| cypha | great | 00:53 |
| cypha | worked | 00:53 |
| AssociateX | utueh: ps -e|grep meta shows nothing | 00:53 |
| AssociateX | just like I thought, I'm missing my window manager | 00:54 |
| oenone | why is it that when I try to change somethin iubuntu saysd permisison denied | 00:54 |
| oenone | how do I get permission | 00:54 |
| lstarnes | oenone: what were you trying to change? | 00:54 |
| oenone | client.conf of pulseaudio | 00:54 |
| utueh | AssociateX: well, you got no window manager, can you start that (type: metacity), or do you have no terminal to type that in? | 00:54 |
| lstarnes | oenone: what are you editing it with? | 00:54 |
| AssociateX | utueh: I tried starting metacity from a VT but it wouldn't let me. | 00:54 |
| oenone | txt editor | 00:55 |
| cypha | thanks guys | 00:55 |
| cypha | i really appreciate it | 00:55 |
| lstarnes | oenone: try doing alt+f2 then entering gksudo gedit /etc/pulse/client.conf | 00:55 |
| cypha | got another question, am i supposed to add the -bg switch to ggl-gadgets so that it doesn't show up on start? | 00:55 |
| AssociateX | utueh: the terminal app xterm is just a white rectangle with no prompt.... again, I'm in trouble here. | 00:55 |
| lstarnes | cypha: see if that works | 00:55 |
| AssociateX | lol | 00:55 |
| oenone | it worked | 00:56 |
| oenone | thanks | 00:56 |
| cypha | lstarnes: the current command is /usr/bin/ggl-gtk %F | 00:56 |
| AssociateX | I don't get this | 00:56 |
| cypha | so where do i add the switch? | 00:56 |
| cypha | and what's %F? | 00:56 |
| utueh | AssociateX: weird, i'v got no more ideas..., good luck, full re-boot no work? | 00:56 |
| lstarnes | cypha: then use /usr/bin/ggl-gtk -bg %F | 00:56 |
| AssociateX | utueh: I'm going to see what is installed, then I'm going to install another terminal app to see if that works | 00:57 |

| SubCool | i wanna play medal of honor | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: games hum | 00:58 |
| SubCool | cine-something | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: are these games 3D? | 00:58 |
| SubCool | i used it on mandrake | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: Wine? | 00:58 |
| SubCool | requires OpenGl | 00:58 |
| SubCool | WINE! thats a good one.. | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: well quite a lot of programs just work, others need configuring, but overall Wine is pretty impressive, considering all the reverse enginering that had to be done and everything | 00:59 |
| cypha | lstarnes: didnt' work | 00:59 |
| LosFrijoles | does anyone know how to speed up sshfs? it takes me like 15 seconds to list a directory and like 1.5 mins to save | 00:59 |
| cypha | but the -h says that use -bg to run in the background | 00:59 |

| the_archit3ct | pme me | 00:59 |
| mae^ | is there any way I can get fstab to persist using the LiveCD? | 00:59 |
| SubCool | ok- well im going on ur guys expereince- cause i dont have a lot of time to research it | 00:59 |
| SubCool | wanna just jump into a game quick tonight | 00:59 |
| utueh | mae^: what? | 01:00 |
| lstarnes | the_archit3ct: try its .sh or .pl version | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: GUIwise (Grapical User Interface) when it comes to configuring and such, Wine is not that user friendly, but there are commerical paid for versions that are | 01:00 |
| mae^ | well, its livecd on a usb stick using casper | 01:00 |
| the_archit3ct | can't pl on a shel | 01:00 |
| the_archit3ct | haven't tried sh | 01:00 |
| the_archit3ct | i'll do it | 01:00 |
| LosFrijoles | the_archit3ct: use perl script.pl | 01:00 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: try your games in Wine, if your lucky they just work, if not you may need to configure here and there, and if unlucky you won't be able to play those games in Wine. #winehq is the channel to talk about Wine | 01:01 |
| mae^ | I'm not exactly sure how casper is joining the cdrom and the casper-rw dir structures | 01:01 |
| LosFrijoles | the_archit3ct: or use the #! /usr/bin/perl -w at the beginning of the file | 01:01 |
| cypha | lstarnes: ps aux | grep ggl-gtk just has 1 line, u said that line is normal, right? | 01:01 |
| utueh | mae^: oh, maybe mount the usb and edit it? | 01:01 |
| SubCool | sebsebseb: you rock- thanks. | 01:01 |
| utueh | mae^: from another running linux | 01:01 |
| mae^ | ah, thats a good idea | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: np | 01:01 |
| lstarnes | cypha: you only use ps aux | grep <name> for checking if a process is running | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: and for 2D games well a Windows virtual machine in Virtualbox might do it, depending on game | 01:01 |
| brunner | since I started my dist-upgrade, my brightness keeps dropping on my laptop even though I'm plugged into AC. Is there any way to force it to use maximum brightness? | 01:01 |
| cypha | lstarnes: i was seeing if ggl-gtk is still running, because it doesn't work | 01:02 |
| mae^ | still confusing why that file doesnt persist but other changes in etc do | 01:02 |
| cypha | i tried running it in the background | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: Directx games I mean | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: ,but 2D ones | 01:02 |
| SubCool | ya- nah | 01:02 |
| SubCool | i guess i cant get wine via Adept? | 01:02 |
| lstarnes | cypha: try starting it in the terminal with ggl-gtk -bg & | 01:02 |
| utueh | mae^: you would likely have to mount the usb, then mount the image file or something... | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | SubCool: or command line | 01:02 |

| texasjack | !virtualizers | 01:07 |

| sebsebseb | RyanPrior: Flash 10 is not a security update for hardy? Ubuntu only does security updates by default | 01:08 |

| lindzeyn | edbian: right | 01:08 |
| cypha | lstarnes: thakns for all your help! | 01:08 |
| redorange | dublued: installing all pre released updates would make system unstable? | 01:08 |
| RyanPrior | sebsebseb: It would have to be a backport, I think. | 01:08 |
| cypha | gerat guy | 01:08 |
| cypha | great | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | RyanPrior: you can install Flash 10 directly from Adobe, that's one way to do it | 01:08 |
| lindzeyn | it just gives me verbose stdout crap about the X session that is supposedly running | 01:08 |
| RyanPrior | sebsebseb: Sure, but better if it's from the repo. | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | RyanPrior: well if it's in the repo, it will be in the repo | 01:09 |
| edbian | lindzeyn: That is very very strange. I have no idea. Are you sure you tried all of them? Techincally you can have infitintely many ttys but usually you run out of key-bindings to access them | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | RyanPrior: Ubuntu only put security updates in the repo | 01:09 |
| dublued | redorange: it didn't on mine. I have intel graphics chipset and was unable to get visual effects to work. Someone on here recommended i follow the steps that I described to you. The system has been working very well since the update. | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | RyanPrior: there might be even a Flash 10 ppa for 8.04, that's another way in that case, in how you could install it | 01:09 |
| redorange | dublued: thanks for solution | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | RyanPrior: normally people install stuff from the repo, but if they want later stuff they would normally use a ppa first, before anything else | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | !ppa > RyanPrior | 01:10 |
| ubottu | RyanPrior, please see my private message | 01:10 |
| lindzeyn | edbian: I know the process is still running, its just that the GUI disappears. It's like X is too stupid or something, or I am too stupid. | 01:10 |

| Jeruvy | !ufw | Cry__Baby | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Cry__Baby: 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 | 01:12 |
| guest | Gourlis: I formatted a spare drive and left my primary one alone except for grub, or so I believe. | 01:12 |
| Cry__Baby | Ekiga doesnt connect either.. Butg I can connect through Vista | 01:12 |
| Cry__Baby | Jeruvy: how does that info help me? | 01:12 |

| lindzeyn | edbian: it was me that was stupid | 01:13 |
| dublued | k1rb_E: Go to Screen Resolution settings via Preferences. If your external projector is connected, it should come up. you can select to turn it on there | 01:13 |

| lstarnes | dublued: not until its release. 9.10 is still in development | 01:15 |
| Gourlis | dublued, Just hopping 9.10 works with my ATI. | 01:15 |
| lstarnes | Gourlis: I would strongly recommend not using 9.10 | 01:15 |

| utueh | Cry__Baby: likely alsa or oss that's the problem | 01:16 |
| Gourlis | lstarnes, 9.04 didn't work good for me. My ATI stopped support for Ubuntu so in 9.04 my screen was flickering. | 01:16 |
| Cry__Baby | utueh: solution? | 01:16 |

| Jeruvy | theman1: that is a bit OT for here, but I won't object :) | 01:44 |

| wallshot | base64 is not key-based encryption and can easily be decoded by anybody without the need for keys or passphrases | 01:45 |

| Praveen | or reboot | 01:45 |
| Praveen | how do i do this? | 01:45 |
| theman1 | wallshot how? the string/hash is salted... | 01:45 |

| sacdman | anyone here know anything about optimizing ubuntu for compaq 7500 monitor? | 01:46 |
| halberd | base64 isn't encryption | 01:46 |
| lstarnes | base64 is just encoding | 01:46 |

| sacdman | My PC is a Compaq EVO D510CMT | 01:46 |

| psycoborg | not sure. | 01:52 |

| psycoborg | i was wondering of their might be a disk error or something. | 01:52 |
| tyfovo | just want to figure out why is says that.... | 01:53 |
| psycoborg | because this os was running great till the update before last. | 01:53 |
| k1rb_E | lstarnes: it actually is.. found it in the bug launchpad :-/ thanks for your time | 01:53 |
| fryguy | tyfovo: likely because your motherboard doesn't comply with acpi spec | 01:53 |
| OOT | lstarnes: if so, it is impossible for me to grab channel information as it as a file? | 01:53 |
| k1rb_E | fryguy: thanks as well | 01:53 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo, is it tdc or tds? | 01:53 |
| lstarnes | OOT: exactly | 01:53 |
| lstarnes | OOT: it's only stored in RAM | 01:53 |

| wallshot | do the default-installed bluez tools not handle file transfers, etc? If we want to actually transfer files back and forth between jaunty and bluetooth phone, instead of pairing, connecting, and sitting there useless, do we need to install some of the obextools? | 01:55 |
| tyfovo | i tried to install ubuntu with virtualbox so i could take a screenshot, but the error did not come up then... | 01:55 |
| RukusX | cabrey those symptoms dont match. my flash will work flawlessly. until i leave my laptop alone for a few hours, then it stopss | 01:55 |
| SuperSenior | oh kay haha, i thought it was "tds" one sec tyfovo | 01:55 |
| ectospasm | ...hmmm, I wonder why LVM isn't included on the LiveCD? Is it just that the installer doesn't have the capability for it? Are the libraries and whatnot necessary for LVM too large for such a fringe feature? | 01:55 |
| cabrey | RukusX, you havent tried the open source alternatives, have you? | 01:56 |

| Guest90272 | Can someone help me out.. its my second day with ubuntu | 01:56 |
| cabrey | !ask | 01:56 |
| 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. :-) | 01:56 |
| tyfovo | i have a sony vaio c2zb, if its to any help... | 01:56 |

| RukusX | cabrey, no. can you tell me what i need to do, to uninstall flash and then install open source? | 01:56 |
| anzan | !botsnack | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 01:56 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo, i think from what im learning, this might be a driver issue. thats what it looks like from doing a bit of searching | 01:56 |
| Jeruvy | !startup | burn_ | 01:57 |
| Guest90272 | I need to get amarok or another media player to play songs, it will only play some | 01:57 |
| ubottu | burn_: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 01:57 |
| cabrey | RukusX, well i'll tell you right now that the open source alternatives are crap compared to non-free flash. but we can use them as a way to see if it is a flash problem or another problem | 01:57 |
| burn_ | !boot | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 01:57 |
| tyfovo | is there anything i can do about it? | 01:57 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:57 |
| tyfovo | sony only has drivers for xp and vista=( | 01:58 |
| volrath | Is there a way for me to install all avalibal development packacges | 01:58 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, wait, ubuntu or kubuntu? | 01:58 |
| OOT | lstarnes: are you still there? | 01:58 |
| lstarnes | OOT: yes | 01:58 |
| SuperSenior | yeah thats usually the case. a manufacture decides they dont feel like releasing driver specs lol. lets see if there is a workaround tyfovo | 01:58 |
| tyfovo | where in ubuntu can i find which hardware and drivers are istalled? | 01:59 |
| nick125 | In Ubuntu's fancy-shmancy screen implementation, is there a way to "change" the profile for just a certain session? I want all of my sessions to be ubuntu-dark, but I want to be able to set my irssi session to plain. | 01:59 |
| cabrey | tyfoo, the kernel has builtin support for tons of hardware, but you can list inserted modules by typing lsmod in a terminal | 01:59 |
| Guest90272 | so can i play songs | 01:59 |
| SuperSenior | thank you cabrey! i was stumped there haha | 02:00 |
| wolter | hi | 02:00 |
| OOT | lstarnes: can I add a default channel to some kind of config file, I really new with ircd-hybrid... | 02:00 |
| cabrey | SuperSenior, what did i do? | 02:00 |
| wolter | is there an application like grapher (for mac) in ubuntu? | 02:00 |
| lstarnes | OOT: I don't think there's a way to do that in hybrid | 02:00 |
| SuperSenior | assisted tyfovo! =) | 02:00 |
| cabrey | oh | 02:00 |
| cabrey | okie dokie | 02:00 |
| lstarnes | OOT: I would recommend using a more actively-developed ircd. ircd-ratbox and charybdis are similar to hybrid and work very well | 02:01 |
| tyfovo | just type ismod? | 02:01 |
| burn_ | is adding a script in /etc/init.d and calling it in rc.local a poor way of doing things | 02:01 |
| lstarnes | OOT: inspircd also exists and has a lot of features | 02:01 |
| SeaPhor | if i wanted to download a font and have access to it globally, where would i put it? /usr/?/? ?? | 02:01 |
| lstarnes | burn_: somewhat | 02:01 |
| SuperSenior | yeah tyfovo but look for something about acpi | 02:01 |
| lstarnes | SeaPhor: maybe /usr/local/share/fonts | 02:01 |
| tyfovo | says command not found... | 02:02 |
| lstarnes | tyfovo: insmod | 02:02 |
| Guest90272 | I need help with mp3's please | 02:02 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, ubuntu or kubuntu? | 02:02 |
| Guest90272 | ubuntu | 02:02 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:02 |
| Guest90272 | its my second day | 02:02 |
| SuperSenior | oh right, insmod, try that tyfovo | 02:02 |
| OOT | lstarnes: I guess so, ooh a really feel full confuse using ircd-hybrid... Ok I'll try another one that you suggested... once again txh very much... | 02:02 |
| Guest90272 | yeah i got that | 02:02 |
| SeaPhor | TY lstarnes | 02:03 |
| lstarnes | OOT: inspircd has pretty good documentation | 02:03 |
| Guest90272 | but some songs still wont play im using amarok | 02:03 |
| tyfovo | Usage: insmod filename [args].....now what? | 02:03 |
| lstarnes | OOT: you could also run a services package such as atheme or anope along with it for services such as NickServ and ChanServ | 02:03 |
| lstarnes | tyfovo: actually, it's lsmod | 02:04 |
| lstarnes | tyfovo: with a lowercase L | 02:04 |
| burn_ | I put a transmission--daemon script in /etc/init.d and then put /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start in rc.local which works, how else should I do that to be more proper? | 02:04 |
| OOT | lstarnes: Ow... very nice, that's all I need... something with documentation... Ok, ok... 1000% great thanks for you... | 02:04 |
| tyfovo | tyler@tyler-laptop:~$ Ismod | 02:04 |
| tyfovo | bash: Ismod: command not found | 02:04 |
| lstarnes | tyfovo: lowercase L | 02:05 |
| tyfovo | sorry | 02:05 |
| Guest90272 | cabrey you there | 02:05 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, yes | 02:05 |
| SuperSenior | hermmmm, well tyfovo, i can tell you it has to do with the processor | 02:05 |
| tyfovo | got it now | 02:05 |
| SuperSenior | did it work tyfovo? | 02:05 |
| lstarnes | OOT: be warned that you will most likely need to compile those from source, but the process is fairly easy if you have the build-essential package installed | 02:05 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, ok try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:05 |
| jimdb | is anyone in here experienced with wireless? i have a wireless card in my computer that sees my router but when prompted to enter the passcode/password, it won't connect and every minute or two it prompts me to reenter it. Note: i'm using kubuntu with ubuntu desktop loaded...i asked in the kubuntu forum but no one has given me a response. | 02:05 |
| Guest90272 | ok so i have that but some songs will not play | 02:05 |
| Guest90272 | i installed that last night | 02:05 |
| SuperSenior | hey jimdb i think ndiswrapper may help you | 02:05 |
| Guest90272 | thats how i got some to play | 02:06 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, both of the restricted-extras? | 02:06 |
| tyfovo | yes the command worked, but i dont really know what im looking for... | 02:06 |
| Guest90272 | umm no il try | 02:06 |
| Guest90272 | i can just do it throug add or remove right | 02:06 |
| beinghuman | why is nvidia-xconfig not included in nvidia-glx-71? | 02:06 |
| jimdb | supersenior: let's stay away from ndiswrapper. note that I said that the system sees my router. | 02:06 |
| OOT | lstarnes: OOP! you mean it's not available on ubuntu package? | 02:06 |
| lstarnes | OOT: I usually don't use packages for ircds | 02:06 |
| tyfovo | what about the processor? | 02:07 |
| psycoborg | how can i reset kde to factory defaults ? | 02:08 |
| OOT | lstarnes: whatsoever, I still interest to this one... Ok, I try look on ubuntu package repository, perhaps I can find... | 02:08 |
| Guest90272 | cabrey i got it so now what | 02:08 |
| cabrey | psycoborg, /join #kubuntu | 02:09 |
| cabrey | Guest90272, did you test it out? | 02:09 |
| lstarnes | OOT: the packaged versions are often different than the compiled versions | 02:09 |
| psycoborg | oops. | 02:09 |
| SuperSenior | well tyfovo, acpi is "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface" | 02:09 |
| psycoborg | im having problems with both. | 02:09 |
| psycoborg | forgot im in ubuntu.. lol | 02:09 |
| Guest90272 | not yet im about to | 02:09 |
| Guest90272 | thanks | 02:09 |
| OOT | lstarnes: no matter about version, I need something easily configured... | 02:09 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: and TDS is "tabular data stream" | 02:10 |
| tyfovo | okey, if its not working, can i turn it off? | 02:10 |
| lstarnes | OOT: you will always need to deal with editing text-based config files when dealing with ircds | 02:10 |
| beinghuman | anyone know why when I run nvidia-settings it tells me to run nvidia-xconfig | 02:10 |
| beinghuman | however, when I run nvidia-xconfig | 02:10 |
| beinghuman | it's not included in nvidia-glx-71 | 02:10 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: it has to do with runnign processes, and i think it is neccesary | 02:10 |
| lstarnes | OOT: the actual compilation process takes about 5 or 6 commands and is fairly easy | 02:11 |
| lstarnes | OOT: the online docs for inspircd include how to compile inspircd | 02:11 |
| tyfovo | so just leave it alone? | 02:11 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: I think you should file a bug report.. :-/ | 02:11 |
| OOT | lstarnes: yes of course, but I easier than "confusing me with ircd-hybrid" ... wkkkkkk... | 02:11 |
| tyfovo | how do i do that? | 02:12 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: lets find out =) one sec | 02:12 |
| tyfovo | the screen flashes by so fast... i dont have time to wright it down... | 02:12 |

| Vicfred | How do I install ubuntu without burning a cd, can I boot it from my hdd if I already have a linux installation? | 02:21 |
| SuperSenior | guest: do you just need to figure out configuration for your disk, or can you not even get that far with grub? | 02:21 |
| guest | SS: I just now figured out which partition my windows disk is on so I can save my links and notes. :) | 02:21 |

| tyfovo | can i install it somehow? | 02:23 |
| mbostwick | cabrey thanks but I found it under - libncurses5-dev | 02:23 |
| dthacker | ianw: Ubuntu rocks. | 02:24 |

| tyfovo | hmm i guess a whole lot of questionmarks infront of my devices isnt that good... | 02:26 |
| eross | aarrgghh... what's the point of linux games if you can't run them due to missing AND depreciated dependencies??? | 02:26 |
| tyfovo | specially infront of the processor | 02:26 |
| SuperSenior | guest: i found an awesome info page here --> http://www.cameratim.com/computing/linux/restoring-grub | 02:26 |
| SuperSenior | guest: see if that helps at all =) | 02:26 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: well at least wh KNOW the problem now haha! | 02:27 |
| tyfovo | yepp | 02:27 |
| guest | SuperSenior: thanks, I've been going off the ubuntu support pages so far; nice to be able to triangulate. :) | 02:27 |
| tyfovo | so i have to surf around and try to find linux drivers? | 02:27 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: can you figure out exactly which processor you have? | 02:28 |
| tyfovo | yes | 02:28 |
| Guest90272 | Ha fixed the problem i opened that rythimbox thing. it told me i needed a plugin searched it and it installed it and it works thanks for your help though | 02:28 |
| Divinity | where is that driver | 02:28 |
| tyfovo | Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz | 02:29 |
| SuperSenior | guest: i dont think its very safe to use "dev/hd1" (just an example) to point to a drive partition | 02:29 |
| SuperSenior | guest: from my experience lol. i think there is a more exact way to do it | 02:29 |
| cabrey | Divinity, you will have to compile it yourself | 02:30 |
| SuperSenior | guest: oh! have you edited the "fstab" file yet? | 02:30 |
| Guest90272 | also one of my firefox addons is not working can anyone help with that | 02:30 |
| guest | SuperSenior: that was following the directions in the ubuntu page. No, I haven't done anything with fstab - where and what do I do? :) | 02:30 |
| matrixblue | !uuid | SuperSenior | 02:31 |
| ubottu | SuperSenior: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 02:31 |
| SuperSenior | guest: /etc/fstab which should have all your partitions listed. you could poke around to see if anything looks funny | 02:31 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: if we can figure out which processor you have we might be able to find a driver for it, well, the RIGHT driver for it | 02:32 |
| Divinity | where is it | 02:33 |
| SuperSenior | guest: the "/boot/grub.grub.conf" file looks mighty important haha | 02:33 |
| tyfovo | Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz | 02:33 |
| guest | SuperSenior: the only thing I recognize is /dev/sdc2 being the swap. it also talks about ... doh, I bet that's the CD's version of etc... | 02:33 |

| SuperSenior | tyfovo: im pretty sure thats a common processor.. i wonder why the "???" were appearing in front of it in the device manager.. | 02:34 |
| wolter | is there any grapher like application in ubuntu (plotting both 2d and 3d graphs from a gui) | 02:34 |
| wolter | with mathematical functions | 02:34 |
| SuperSenior | bkt5401: isnt there a way to use the package manager to upgrade? | 02:35 |

| tyfovo | dont know... at intels webpage there is a download for linux... but no ubuntu on the list... | 02:35 |
| wolter | SuperSenior, which? | 02:35 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: the linux driver will work =) | 02:35 |
| bkt5401 | SuperSenior, I dont know yet | 02:35 |
| guest | SuperSenior: ok, saw my new fstab and it doesn't show me anything (of what I can interpret) that looks grossly out of whack. | 02:36 |
| SuperSenior | bkt5401: there is! =) i did it myself | 02:36 |
| tyfovo | just linux, or debian linux? | 02:36 |
| SuperSenior | wolter: you could search the "package manager" for "graphing application" | 02:36 |
| swampy | It's odd, the GUI isn't adding any of the repositories I try to add. | 02:36 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: debian | 02:36 |
| SuperSenior | guest: there should be an entry for both ubuntu and for windoze | 02:37 |
| bhowerton | Will ubuntu 9.04 work well running either as a Storage Server (this will be storing just Backup Files from the other servers) or a Proxy Server (monitoring the active connections for about 220 users)??? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using ubuntu for purposes such as this??? | 02:37 |
| wolter | SuperSenior, yeah but not all appear there, anyway I think I just found wxmaxima | 02:38 |
| wolter | gonna try it | 02:38 |
| tyfovo | no ubuntu listed... try anyway? | 02:38 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: ubuntu is debian =) | 02:38 |
| bkt5401 | SuperSenior, Thanks | 02:38 |
| jrib | bhowerton: sure, use ubuntu-server | 02:38 |
| SuperSenior | bkt5401: did you find it? =) | 02:39 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: if you want help on installing ubuntu server, i reciently did last week.. i can help =) | 02:39 |
| bhowerton | jrib, should i use ubuntu server or can i use the ubuntu desktop version | 02:39 |
| Skullbro | What really is the difference between server and desktop short of the server comes with more packages installed that are geared towards server applications? | 02:39 |
| darkham | hi, how can i set deluge client fot shut down the system when ended a torrent? | 02:40 |
| bhowerton | thanks supersenior...i might just take you up on that | 02:40 |
| jrib | bhowerton: you can use the desktop version if you wish, but you'll be installing things that you don't need on a server | 02:40 |
| tyfovo | its just a text file... hmmm | 02:40 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: i would recommend ubuntu server.. its much faster for server purposes | 02:40 |
| jrib | bhowerton: in the end ubuntu-server and ubuntu-desktop share the same repositories, they just have a different set of default packages | 02:40 |
| guest | SuperSenior: there isn't either. There's UUID's for my ext4 and swap and a mention of the cdrom | 02:40 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: the "driver" is just a tet file? | 02:41 |
| tyfovo | .dat file | 02:41 |
| qijun | admin | 02:41 |
| SuperSenior | guest: i gues we need to add an entry for windoze! | 02:41 |

| Divinity | cabrey how do I install this I am confused looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware | 02:41 |

| TomTommy | How come Ubuntun Developers removed iLBC codec from Ekiga? | 02:42 |
| TomTommy | how can I talk to a Ubuntu developer? | 02:42 |
| cabrey | Divinity, i am trying to figure it out, there is little to no documentation | 02:42 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: do you have the iso file? | 02:42 |
| swampy | Tom: Check the ubuntu fora. It's silly with 'em. | 02:42 |
| Divinity | ahhh ok | 02:42 |
| jrib | TomTommy: did you check the changelog or maybe comments in the patch? | 02:42 |
| bhowerton | Super Senior, i will take you up on the offer for help | 02:42 |

| ubottu | TomTommy: changelogs for Ubuntu packages can be found on http://changelogs.ubuntu.com | 02:43 |
| TomTommy | brb | 02:43 |
| jrib | TomTommy: otherwise download the source package and read it | 02:43 |
| guest | SuperSenior: Er, ok. And that will make my boot record listen to grub? (thanks for all the help, btw) | 02:44 |
| ims | network connection help, anybody??? | 02:44 |
| bhowerton | i also have a seperate machine to install it on so i can go back and forth easily | 02:44 |
| matrixblue | ims sup? | 02:44 |
| ims | yes | 02:44 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: is this machine hooked up to a router? | 02:44 |
| matrixblue | ims what's the problem? | 02:44 |
| ims | I have to restart before I can connect. | 02:44 |
| SuperSenior | guest: yeah grub uses that file to list the installed os's on the drive | 02:45 |
| gabriel | Hi everyone | 02:45 |
| SuperSenior | guest: with out the list, grub assumes there are no installed os's | 02:45 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: Debian removed it upstream because it has an incompatible license, so it was dropped when Ubuntu imported the package. | 02:45 |
| n2diy | can you hot swap pcmcia devices? | 02:45 |
| matrixblue | ims, I need more details of the problem. What kind of connection is it? (wireless wired) Are you using a router or directly connected via modem? | 02:46 |
| gabriel | I have a question: will I benefit from ext4 in ubuntu 9.04? I would like to change from ext3 to ext without having to reinstall ubuntu | 02:46 |
| gabriel | sorry, ext4 | 02:46 |
| guest | SuperSenior: Do you know what the syntax needs to be? | 02:46 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: go ahead and pop the dvd in and boot the new server | 02:46 |
| SuperSenior | guest: nope but i bet we can find it haha | 02:46 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn: DAMN! :( Because I need iLBC :( | 02:46 |
| m1chael | will i be able to remote desktop in to a remote server? | 02:46 |
| tyfovo | 1) Save the file downloaded from the Intel web site to your | 02:46 |
| tyfovo | hard drive. | 02:46 |
| tyfovo | 2) Run the downloaded file to extract all setup files. | 02:46 |
| tyfovo | 3) Run the setup.bat file while a blank 1.44 MB floppy disk is | 02:46 |
| tyfovo | in the drive. | 02:46 |
| FloodBot1 | tyfovo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:46 |
| tyfovo | 4) Restart the computer with the floppy disk in the drive. The | 02:46 |
| bhowerton | ok i had to hook up the cable real quick, but it is connected now | 02:47 |

| TomTommy | dajhorn: are you ubuntu developer? | 02:47 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: You'll need to recompile the package yourself. | 02:47 |
| bhowerton | i will start the dvd | 02:47 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn: whats incompatible license mean? | 02:47 |
| tyfovo | sorry | 02:47 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: No. | 02:47 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn: how can I do that? | 02:47 |
| glicks | hey is there a channel geared torward netbooks? | 02:47 |

| m1chael | will i be able to remote desktop in to a remote server? im new with ubuntu (sorry asking again due to channel flood) | 02:47 |
| Divinity | how do I find the file on my desktop in terminal? | 02:47 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: dont worry i did that my first time to haha | 02:47 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: try pastebin.com | 02:48 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn> TomTommy: You'll need to recompile the package yourself. <-- how pls? | 02:48 |
| Skullbro | Michael, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html | 02:48 |
| unitheory | Divinity, cd ~/Desktop && ls | 02:48 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: You'll need to search for a tutorial. Start by running`apt-get source ekiga` at a prompt and see what you get. | 02:48 |
| SuperSenior | guest: its not that complicated but we might have to do some guess and check | 02:48 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn: can I download it direct from Ekiga? | 02:48 |
| cabrey | Divinity, it seems this will not compile on ubuntu 9.04. you'll need to file a bug against gspca-source | 02:49 |
| bhowerton | hold on just a second more | 02:49 |
| ims | matrixblue, I'm on wired, auto eth0. my /etc/network/interfaces is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback I'm directly connected to modem | 02:49 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: Yes, but you should try to find a deb package before you try to do a local install. | 02:49 |
| Divinity | ok | 02:49 |
| matrixblue | ims, when you're not connected do you have an IP address? | 02:49 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn: there are no deb packages | 02:49 |
| n2diy | Divinity: locate | 02:49 |
| cabrey | Divinity, wait, I'm going to ask ##kernel | 02:49 |
| youshaoyun | hello | 02:49 |
| Divinity | when I got to the desktop that tar was in red | 02:50 |
| SuperSenior | guest: the windows entry should look like this.. line 1:title Windows line 2:rootnoverify (hd0,0) | 02:50 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compiling_Ekiga | 02:50 |
| youshaoyun | quit | 02:50 |
| SuperSenior | guest: I hope lol | 02:50 |
| Divinity | what is ##kernel? | 02:51 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn: whats incompatible license mean? | 02:51 |
| SuperSenior | tyfovo: i think thats a windows driver | 02:51 |
| ims | matrixblue: yes, on my nm-applet connection info IP ADDRESS is 112.200.25.58 | 02:51 |
| bhowerton | ok SuperSenior it is now starting the install process | 02:51 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: Means "non-free according to Debian". | 02:51 |
| TomTommy | dajhorn: iLBC is FREE | 02:51 |
| cabrey | Divinity, it is the linux kernel channel | 02:51 |
| matrixblue | ims, So what doesn't work? the web browser? | 02:51 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: OH MAKE SURE ITS NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET LOL | 02:51 |
| ircnickiuse | how can I reverse: sudo dpkg-divert --local --add --rename /usr/bin/pulseaudio | 02:52 |
| lstarnes | TomTommy: it's a different form of non-free | 02:52 |
| dajhorn | TomTommy: *shrug* They don't think so. It seems to be removed. | 02:52 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: that will make it fail the install | 02:52 |
| Divinity | I dont know my second day running this I am new | 02:52 |
| lstarnes | TomTommy: as in freedom, not price | 02:52 |
| ircnickiuse | so it is no longer diverted? | 02:52 |
| TomTommy | lstarnes: ok | 02:52 |
| matrixblue | !caps | SuperSenior | 02:52 |
| ubottu | SuperSenior: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 02:52 |
| gabriel | I have a question: will I benefit from ext4 in ubuntu 9.04? I would like to change from ext3 to ext without having to reinstall ubuntu | 02:52 |
| SuperSenior | haha it was very important!!! | 02:52 |
| gabriel | ext4 | 02:52 |
| ircnickiuse | What is the compliment of this command: sudo dpkg-divert --local --add --rename /usr/bin/pulseaudio so I the package is no longer diverted | 02:52 |
| guest | SuperSenior: Think that will be sufficient? | 02:52 |
| bhowerton | ok | 02:53 |
| cabrey | i wonder.... | 02:53 |
| SuperSenior | guest: i hope so! | 02:53 |
| cabrey | !ext4 | 02:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 02:53 |
| matrixblue | gabriel, yeah and it's possible. I'll find you a guide | 02:53 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: yeah it took me hours to figure that out. very frustrating | 02:53 |
| gabriel | thanks matrixblue | 02:53 |
| ims | matrixblue: everything works except that when my I start on a cold boot network connection is not established until I do a restart. I'm on XUBUNTU 8.10 by the way | 02:53 |
| matrixblue | gabriel, I assume you're using Jaunty | 02:53 |
| beinghuman | why can't I use nvidia-xconfig with nvidia-glx-71?!?!?!?! | 02:54 |
| gabriel | yeah, jaunty | 02:54 |
| guest | SuperSenior: Ok, saving a few more notes and rebooting. *fingers crossed* | 02:54 |
| SuperSenior | matrixblue: some things are just that important ;) | 02:54 |
| jrib | ircnickiuse: the man page spells it out pretty explicityl. The switch is --remove iirc (not on debian right now) | 02:54 |
| beinghuman | i try to run the damn thing and it says it's only in high version packages | 02:54 |
| bhowerton | it is now at the point to select the language and other options | 02:54 |
| beinghuman | but when I try to run nvidia-settings it say I need to run nvidia-xconfig | 02:54 |
| beinghuman | which I don't have, because it's not in my version | 02:54 |
| matrixblue | ims, I've never encountered that before. Maybe someone else knows what's going on | 02:54 |
| unitheory | gabriel, i've tried ext2 ext3 ext4 and xfs and haven't noticed much of a difference among them | 02:54 |
| emmy | how are things here? | 02:55 |
| gabriel | for me ext3 works fine | 02:55 |
| emmy | matrixblue: i like your nick. | 02:55 |
| ircnickiuse | yeah, if I wanted man I wouldn't waste my time here, so like: sudo dpkg-divert --local --remove --rename /usr/bin/pulseaudio ?? | 02:55 |
| SuperSenior | emmy: Great! | 02:55 |
| matrixblue | emmy, thanks :) | 02:55 |
| emmy | cool | 02:55 |
| gabriel | Its just that I have been reading so much about ext4 | 02:55 |
| Divinity | how do I tell if I have 32 bit os or 64? | 02:55 |
| matrixblue | gabriel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/193903/ | 02:55 |
| jrib | ircnickiuse: if you read the man page it has specific examples. I'm not here to read manpages for you though I'll guide you to the right place to look | 02:56 |
| gabriel | thanks matrixblue | 02:56 |
| matrixblue | gabriel, np | 02:56 |
| SuperSenior | jrib: sometimes man pages can be intimidating to newbies | 02:56 |
| ircnickiuse | jrib, all the same, I'll wait for someone else to read them for me | 02:56 |
| jrib | ircnickiuse: good luck with that. | 02:56 |
| SuperSenior | lol | 02:56 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior, should I just select the default options | 02:56 |
| ircnickiuse | jrib, thanks | 02:56 |
| dajhorn | Divinity: Run `uname -a` at the prompt. The second-last word is the architecture. | 02:57 |
| cabrey | Divinity, you might be in luck, people in ##kernel said that, support is built into newer kernels | 02:57 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: as far as language and keyboard yeah it should be safe | 02:57 |
| gabriel | one question:matrixblue, do I need to do this from the bootable cd or directly from my installed Ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| SeaPhor | i did sudo -i, then i tried to cp -r /path/to/dir/ /media/disk/ but get permission error for sym link... any help? | 02:57 |
| guest | SuperSenior: Just noticed that what you proposed doesn't seem similar to what was on the link you gave me: http://www.cameratim.com/computing/linux/restoring-grub - proceed anyway you think? | 02:57 |
| beinghuman | anyone know why nvidia-xconfig isn't in nvidia-glx-71? | 02:57 |
| Divinity | run in terminal? | 02:57 |
| Divinity | run in terminal? | 02:58 |
| SuperSenior | guest: there is an extra part i forgot about chainloader or something.. add that =) | 02:58 |
| matrixblue | gabriel, I'm assuming a live CD | 02:58 |
| jrib | SuperSenior: sure, but I'm not pointing him to man bash, I'm pointing him to a two page man page half of which is examples | 02:58 |
| Divinity | sorry | 02:58 |
| dajhorn | SeaPhor: You cannot put links on a USB disk that is FAT formatted. | 02:58 |
| gabriel | yeah, a live cd | 02:58 |
| SuperSenior | jrib: point taken =) | 02:58 |
| SeaPhor | dajhorn, good to know,, TY | 02:58 |
| ims | matrixblue: thanks, I guess I have to continue "Google-ing" for it. | 02:58 |
| Divinity | cd | 02:58 |
| guest | SuperSenior: erm, don't see anything about that. | 02:58 |
| matrixblue | ims, google = greatest resource of this century | 02:59 |
| SuperSenior | guest: "chainloader +1" perhaps? | 02:59 |
| * dajhorn worships at the Truth Machine | 02:59 | |
| SuperSenior | matrixblue: amen to that! | 02:59 |
| SeaPhor | dajhorn, will it affect the file? can i replace the sym links once transfered? or should i just tar.gz the dir and move it that way? | 02:59 |
| dajhorn | Yes, and probably no. Your best choice to create a tarball or a zip. | 03:00 |
| gabriel | thanks for the help | 03:00 |
| gabriel | Good night everyone | 03:00 |

| dajhorn | SeaPhor: Np. | 03:00 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: how is it progressing? | 03:00 |
| dajhorn | Divinity: That means you are on a 32-bit computer. A 64-bit computer would say x86_64. | 03:00 |
| ircnickiuse | jrib, thanks for the info, and I am just really pissed off today | 03:01 |
| jrib | ircnickiuse: glad you figured it out... teach the man fish and all that stuff :) | 03:01 |
| SuperSenior | jrib: haha very true | 03:02 |
| Divinity | ahhh | 03:02 |
| ircnickiuse | jrib, you've lost your captive market? | 03:02 |
| unitheory | teach a man to fish and he will buy an ugly hat? | 03:02 |
| theyeti | those ugly hats are comfortable | 03:02 |
| Divinity | I'll have to download the 64 bit version at my gf's then | 03:02 |
| LoneShadow | how do I make the wifi connection to auto connect without asking to press "connect" | 03:02 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior, well it is going pretty good. It is now at the Network configuration....it failed this. i think that it is because my router is not setup to hand out DHCP. That is disabled. Should I go ahead and enter the static ip and related settings | 03:02 |
| unitheory | is 64 bit much faster on a capable machine? | 03:02 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: is it completely DISCONNECTED from the router? | 03:03 |
| jrib | unitheory: 64bit allows you to address more memory | 03:03 |
| bhowerton | yes...yes it is | 03:03 |
| unitheory | more than 4gb? hardly seems necessary | 03:03 |
| _law_ | hi guys, need help here XD | 03:04 |
| jrib | unitheory: i'm sure someone said the same about far less at some point :) | 03:04 |
| Pieces | Hi all, I have a ati radeon 9200se pci card, but I cannont get desktop effects enabled, any suggestions? | 03:04 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: and it failed.. >.< well the router is fine.. no need to adjust. ubuntu server is happy to be "served" an ip address | 03:04 |

| TomTommy | DAMN the Ubuntu developers :( They removed iLBC from Twinkle too :( | 03:04 |
| SuperSenior | unitheory: what if you are running a $10,000 server ;) | 03:04 |
| SuperSenior | guest: good luck! | 03:04 |
| somaunn | Pieces; did u install drivers | 03:04 |
| unitheory | SuperSenior, servers are a different story | 03:05 |
| Pieces | somaunn, they crash my computer if I install the ones from the ati website | 03:05 |
| Pieces | somaunn, also when I install the ones in the repository | 03:05 |

| dajhorn | Mostly. | 03:05 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: what step did it fail on? | 03:05 |
| somaunn | Pieces, then install the recommanded one from the repo | 03:06 |
| LoneShadow | do you guys use the default software to connect to wifi connections ? | 03:06 |
| unitheory | LoneShadow, i do! | 03:06 |
| somaunn | Pieces,means you got a serious problem | 03:06 |
| Pieces | _law_ there is a Grub boot cd that can fix your grub | 03:06 |
| SuperSenior | LoneShadow: i actually had to download a seperate driver to connect | 03:06 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: it failed with trying to obtain a dhcp address...i think because it was unplugged. | 03:07 |
| dajhorn | _law_: You can use the Recovery Console from the Windows Installer to fix the boot loader, or you can reinstall grub from the Ubuntu installer. | 03:07 |
| cabrey | LoneShadow, some people use wicd, but I use network manager personally | 03:07 |
| tyfovo | http://www.linux.it/~malattia/wiki/index.php/Sony_drivers.............. can someone check this out and help me with it? | 03:07 |
| Pieces | somaunn, I think its just a really old card, and it's not supported anymore... I can't find any drivers that work | 03:07 |
| _law_ | dajhorn, how to dothat? | 03:07 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: perhaps i was wrong.. maby try it connected? but that is bizzare | 03:07 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: i did go ahead and enter the...IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and dns | 03:07 |
| LoneShadow | when I switch on my laptop, the default wifi takes a while to connect, and it also stops to ask me to press connect, even though the WEP password is enabled | 03:08 |
| bhowerton | should i restart the installation | 03:08 |
| _law_ | howto use the Recovery Console from the Windows Installer to fix the boot loader, | 03:08 |
| dajhorn | _law_: Are you more comfortable at a Windows prompt, or at a Linux prompt? You could do further damage if you make a mistake. | 03:08 |
| somaunn | Pieces, or maybe u should submit a report and wait for things to be corrected | 03:08 |
| LoneShadow | cabrey, is wicd better than network manager ? | 03:08 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: so is continuing? | 03:09 |
| Pieces | somaunn, i'll give it a shot | 03:09 |
| somaunn | Pieces, what version of ubuntu are u using ? | 03:09 |
| cabrey | LoneShadow, if nm doesn't work for you, it doesn't hurt to give it a try, but it is mainly personal opinion | 03:09 |
| _law_ | dajhorn, can u give me the step by step instruction? | 03:09 |
| SuperSenior | cabrey: why would question marks appear in front of the processor in the "Device Manager"? | 03:10 |
| Pieces | somaunn, 9.04 also all the drivers in synaptic say they are for newer cards, and this is nothing close to new | 03:10 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior:ok well i will not restart the entire installation, correct??? on the current path though it is asking me to enter the hostname | 03:10 |
| guest | SuperSenior: No luck | 03:10 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: will it let you continue or go back a step or something similar? | 03:10 |
| cabrey | SuperSenior, if the bios isn't letting it through most likely | 03:10 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: i was able to continue | 03:10 |
| somaunn | Pieces, then urself an Nvidia and u wont struggle like that | 03:11 |
| SuperSenior | cabrey: but the computer can still run? just unstable? | 03:11 |
| bhowerton | i am now at the hostname prompt | 03:11 |
| dajhorn | _law_: Start here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058 but note that this channel is the wrong place to get help with Microsoft products. | 03:11 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: yeah keep going =) | 03:11 |
| cabrey | SuperSenior, stability isnt affected at all | 03:11 |
| SuperSenior | guest: blue death screen? | 03:11 |

| bhowerton | SuperSenior: ok i entered the hostname...the next thing that it is asking for is the domain name | 03:13 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: what do i enter there | 03:13 |
| texasjack | Afff... 'gentoo'.... It's 'gnome'... o.O The problem is with 'gnome' and 'gnome-desktop-environment'... | 03:13 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: because i don´t have a domain | 03:13 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: No. | 03:14 |
| guest | SuperSenior: original fstab restored (at least I'm getting quicker at all this :)) | 03:14 |
| SuperSenior | guest: try fdisk -l with your live boot cd | 03:14 |

| texasjack | dajhorn, they are supposed to not be installed? | 03:14 |
| SuperSenior | paste the output on pastebin.com | 03:14 |
| pccc | how come this happens: which ejabberdctl => /sbin/ejabberdctl ; ejabberdctl => -bash: /usr/sbin/ejabberdctl: No such file or directory | 03:15 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: you can make something up like "server.local" | 03:15 |
| guest | SuperSenior: yeah, I tried that before, and now again it still gives me nothing | 03:15 |
| texasjack | dajhorn, yeah, I know... But my memory is dumping.... Memory panic, almost... | 03:15 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: No, gnome-desktop-evironment has many dependencies. A few hundred megs I think. | 03:15 |
| SuperSenior | guest: fdisk -l gives you nothing? | 03:15 |
| texasjack | dajhorn, and just 'gnome'? | 03:16 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Several. | 03:16 |
| guest | SuperSenior: right. I opened a terminal, (changed directories a few times), type 'fdisk -l' and it just gives me another prompt line | 03:16 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Package gnome depends on package gnome-desktop-environment. | 03:16 |
| SuperSenior | guest: fdisk wants to know what device to look on | 03:17 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: well things are moving along quite well | 03:17 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: thats excellent news! | 03:17 |
| texasjack | dajhorn, OK, thanks. But it's strange cause I don't have 'fam' installed... It's supposed to not install it, too? | 03:17 |
| pingPong | guest: sudo fdisk -l | 03:17 |
| unitheory | guest, sudo fdisk -l | 03:17 |
| unitheory | jinx | 03:17 |
| SuperSenior | ah. sudo haha | 03:17 |
| SuperSenior | rofl | 03:17 |
| guest | *boing* yep, sudo did it | 03:18 |
| SuperSenior | guest: ok pastebin the output so we can have a looksie | 03:18 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: it is now time to setup / partition the disks | 03:18 |
| guest | SuperSenior: how do I do that? | 03:18 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Fam doesn't seem to be in the dependency list for gnome on my Jaunty workstation. | 03:18 |
| SuperSenior | if you go to www.pastebin.com and paste the output, it will give you a url to post here | 03:19 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Do you have a specific problem that you're trying to solve? Most people shouldn't care about things like fam. | 03:19 |
| texasjack | dajhorn, it's on the 'gnome-desktop-environment' dependencies... | 03:19 |
| wtl | where can i get ypops? the repo is gone | 03:19 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: this is where i am kinda confused. it will not be a dual boot. the entire disk can be used for what ever | 03:19 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: go ahead and nuke the whole thing unless you need anthing off of it | 03:19 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: The fam package is in the universe repository, so it cannot be a gnome dependency. | 03:20 |

| SuperSenior | guest: progress!!! | 03:21 |
| guest | SuperSenior: sda1 even | 03:21 |
| texasjack | dajhorn, very strange... 2 last questions: [1] 'swfdec-gnome' is a requirement to gnome? or it'll mess up with the already installed 'flash'? [2] How can I remove and purge the 'usplash' and 'usplash-ubuntu-theme' packages? It's a mess with dependencies... | 03:22 |
| calmbola | can anyone tell me how to change the default on ubuntu so that windows are NOT the full size of the display? | 03:22 |
| harrisony | Has anyone had issues with maxtor one touches on laptops not being picked up | 03:22 |
| bhowerton | guided - use entire disk / guided - use entire disk and setup lvm / guided - use entire disk and setup encrypted lvm / resize and use the previous partion and lvm | 03:23 |
| guest | SuperSenior: now to try to find the directions I followed for tweaking grub. | 03:23 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: guided, use entire disk | 03:23 |
| unitheory | calmbola, that is the default. do you have a small screen? | 03:23 |
| afjrotc1 | hi | 03:23 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: first option | 03:23 |
| harrisony | dmesg and lsusb have nothing whn i plug it in and the light on the hard drive is on | 03:23 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: when in doubt, keep it simple =) | 03:23 |
| afjrotc1 | any gay out there | 03:23 |
| guest | SuperSenior: what were you saying about the ntfs sectors? | 03:23 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Mixing swfdec and the proprietary flash plugin will produce a bad result. Ubuntu does not install swfdec by default. | 03:24 |
| SuperSenior | guest: those are windows sectors.. ntfs is the file system for windoze | 03:24 |
| SeaPhor | harrisony, do a tail -f /var/log/messages and then plug in the device | 03:24 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Rather than trying to remove usplash, consider editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to disable it. | 03:24 |
| SuperSenior | guest: im not sure why there are two, but one of them is the windows partition | 03:24 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: ok...well it is formatting the partitions | 03:25 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Remove the "usplash" word from the defoptions= | 03:25 |
| guest | SuperSenior: one is the archive partition | 03:25 |
| texasjack | dajhorn, thank you. Very much! I didin't think in this possibility... :) | 03:25 |
| bhowerton | SuperSenior: it just started installing the base system | 03:26 |
| dajhorn | texasjack: Np. Make a backup of menu.lst before you change it. | 03:26 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: can you join #seaphor so we can walk through it? | 03:26 |
| linux_stu | i was told that there is a special way to install ubuntu (resulting in a leaner system) if it is solely going to be used as a vm host. is this true? | 03:26 |

| calmbola | unitheory, actually, i prefer the size i last opened the window to | 03:28 |
| linux_stu | Flannel, does JeOS have X? | 03:28 |
| bhowerton | well i thought | 03:28 |
| bhowerton | could you help me out | 03:28 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: im in seaphore lol | 03:29 |
| bhowerton | i am really new to the whole chatting thing | 03:29 |
| SuperSenior | bhowerton: /join seaphor | 03:29 |
| linux_stu | Flannel, nevermind. it doesn't | 03:29 |
| bhowerton | where do i type that | 03:29 |
| Flannel | linux_stu: If you want X, I believe what you'll want to do (well, the simplest method) is install a regular Ubuntu system, and then after install, install linux-image-virtual | 03:30 |
| glicks | hey is there a chat line for the eee based ubuntu | 03:30 |
| Flannel | linux_stu: which is just a kernel biased towards VMs. Once you've installed it (and it works), remove the -generic kernels | 03:30 |
| guest | SuperSenior: so if I say "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/(windows one)" you think it should work? | 03:30 |
| glicks | or does anyone know much about netbooks | 03:30 |
| bhowerton | ok i am in there now | 03:30 |
| ircnickiuse | did anyone come up with a satifying answer as to why 9.04 desktop DOESN'T HAVE PAE IN KERNEL | 03:30 |
| ircnickiuse | ? | 03:30 |
| linux_stu | ok Flannel. i will do that | 03:31 |
| unitheory | calmbola, i don't think ubuntu currently has that functionality | 03:31 |
| SuperSenior | guest: ehhh, ive never used the grub-install command but haha why not. just make sure you have the right windows partition | 03:31 |
| Flannel | ircnickiuse: This isn't the channel for that question. I'm not sure which the best one would be, but #ubuntu-offtopic might be a good start. | 03:31 |
| calmbola | unitheory, are you serious? | 03:32 |
| calmbola | so i am stuck with default to make the screen the full size on open? | 03:32 |
| ircnickiuse | Flannel, yeah, don't think so | 03:32 |
| guest | SuperSenior: the thing you had me post in pastebin has a boot * next to sda2 so I guess I'll give it a try | 03:33 |
| dajhorn | ircnickiuse: Check the kernel source package for comments. I think that PAE kernel requires a non-trivial minimum amount of memory to boot properly. | 03:33 |
| SuperSenior | ircnickiuse: take a deep breath lol =) | 03:33 |
| SuperSenior | guest: definitely! | 03:33 |
| harrisony | SeaPhor: yep, /var/log/messages has nothing | 03:33 |
| cabrey | ircnickiuse, if you got it working, who cares? | 03:33 |
| ircnickiuse | eh, this shit cost me hours now of fiddling around, and broke some other stuff I spent time getting working, all for something that is supported by the very facts present at retail today | 03:34 |
| ircnickiuse | cabrey, because it broke something else | 03:34 |
| ircnickiuse | that is now pissing me off even more | 03:34 |
| FloodBot1 | ircnickiuse: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:34 |

| ircnickiuse | cabrey, I had sound working, and then I install the server kernel, and because of that, sound stopped working (well not because of it, but because I restarted, anyway, it was all part of the annoyance) so it highlighted the whole futility of it. | 03:35 |
| Flannel | ircnickiuse: (I'd classify the current discussion as support, but do try and avoid ranting) | 03:35 |
| ircnickiuse | FeasibilityStudy, I am running a 64bit processor you insensitive clod | 03:35 |

| ircnickiuse | Flannel, you aren't wrong | 03:35 |
| cabrey | ircnickiuse, well thats what i meant by check your hardware | 03:35 |
| FeasibilityStudy | ircnickiuse then why do you need PAE? | 03:35 |
| ircnickiuse | FeasibilityStudy, 8gb ram | 03:35 |
| cabrey | ircnickiuse, your best bet is to go back to ubuntu x64 and we can help you install skype | 03:36 |
| ircnickiuse | (then why don't you run 64bit OS?) because I need som 32bit apps | 03:36 |
| guest | SuperSenior: the fix the page suggests says it is to be done from within windows. Any idea how to restore my windows boot record? | 03:36 |
| unitheory | 32-bit vm? | 03:36 |
| Hodapp | I am using a mouse that has had its scroll wheel work on every distro I've tried since 2004, and "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is in my xorg.conf . . . . but my scroll wheel is not functioning. | 03:36 |
| ircnickiuse | cabrey, yeah, i could, but I'd need to wait to have it reimaged, and I'd still need to get alsa dummy sound working again | 03:36 |
| roy_hobbs | I'd like to know if I install Wubi if I can convert it into a full ubuntu install OR do a full ubuntu install from there (or anyway to do an install without a CD or USB drive) | 03:36 |

| ircnickiuse | that is my main sticking point - volume mixer says it has no device to manage | 03:36 |
| Hodapp | anyone have any idea why not? can I dump raw events from the mouse and see if the scroll wheel does anythig? | 03:37 |
| ircnickiuse | but it all seems to be ok.... | 03:37 |
| SuperSenior | guest: yeah, we just need to get grub to recongnize windoze | 03:37 |
| cabrey | ircnickiuse, what on the 64 bit kernel it worked before | 03:37 |
| bkt5401 | Everything is failing faster than i can click 'ok' | 03:37 |
| cabrey | but* | 03:37 |
| SeaPhor | harrisony, then try a different USB port | 03:37 |
| SuperSenior | guest: do you think maybe reinstalling grub might help? | 03:37 |
| bkt5401 | and now that something has failed to install everything else is failing because of dependencies | 03:37 |
| unitheory | Hodapp, you could try this: backup your xorg.conf and replace it with a default one | 03:37 |
| dajhorn | ircnickiuse: Do you know about the ia32-libs package? Most 32-bit stuff will run on a 64-bit system. | 03:37 |
| abbazabba | i recently got a used hard drive.. would it be as simple as hooking it up and running it to use it? | 03:37 |
| === k is now known as Guest70199 | ||
| SeaPhor | harrisony, that one is not detecting it or the device is not powered on | 03:37 |

| Hodapp | unitheory: Right now it is using a default one, in addition to what the Nvidia drivers added. | 03:38 |
| guest | SuperSenior: my impression from reading the page is that they seem to say that grub won't work in my situation, won't recognize anything | 03:38 |
| ircnickiuse | dajhorn, yeah, I know, I got that after I switched to 32bit | 03:38 |
| harrisony | SeaPhor: yeah ive tried all the ports on the laptop | 03:39 |
| FeasibilityStudy | ircnickiuse you dont have to run a 32 bit OS to use 32 bit apps. Most Linux distros have multilib | 03:39 |
| ircnickiuse | the problem is, ALSA was setup FINE - the 'device' went MIA after reboot - and I don't know what specifies the device, the snd_dummy module is loaded, and set to default using asoundconf | 03:39 |
| unitheory | Hodapp, what mouse do you have? | 03:39 |
| ircnickiuse | FeasibilityStudy, ok, my problem is no just setting up alsa to use snd_dummy, let me get that working, and I will promise I will tear down my working system and go back to 64bit | 03:39 |

| ircnickiuse | so, when it says the volume controller has no device - how can I fix that? | 03:40 |

| ircnickiuse | in the sound prefs, I get dummy device as an option for everything, but in mixer, the whole selector is greyed out | 03:41 |

| GuyFromHell | So i just got my EeePC today, fired up download for UNR and installed it and hit a monstrous brick wall. neither my ethernet nor wireless work | 03:41 |
| SeaPhor | harrisony, and other devices work in those ports? are you sure the one-touch is powered on? | 03:41 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: if i fire up my computer after installing the second one (even though it has 2 o.s.'s on it) would i have a problem.. or would grub just give me multiple? | 03:41 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, what model? | 03:41 |
| GuyFromHell | Attansic ethernet and Atheros AR9285 Wireless. I'm told the latter can be done with a kernel upgrade | 03:41 |
| GuyFromHell | 1008HA | 03:41 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba you would need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:41 |
| Hodapp | unitheory: it's a Logitech Trackman Wheel. I seriously doubt that is of any relevance. | 03:42 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba what 2nd OS are u going to add | 03:42 |

| cabrey | GuyFromHell, ahh yes that required a kernel module to be compiled, helped somebody through that before | 03:42 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, i'm fine with a little kernel hacking but it's the attansic i'm worried about, i don't see that anywhere | 03:42 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: since you responded i'm gonna go a bit deeper.. i have a 60 gig now and i'm adding a 20 gig.. this one has 8.04 on it and the new one has 9 and xp home.. what i want to do is, get that running, clean it up, put my music and movies onto that one, install 9 onto the 60 gig.. and maybe transfer the music back and keep the 20 for the movies. | 03:43 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, the what? | 03:43 |

| cabrey | GuyFromHell, yes there is a driver available | 03:46 |
| texasjack | :( God damn'.... | 03:46 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba well just hook the 20 gig up into your machine. Stick in a live CD and partition it. You could probably just hook the drive up and boot into Ubuntu and format it from there. But you will have to make sure the drive is not mounted | 03:46 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, oh goodie, .deb maybe? | 03:46 |
| Hodapp | unitheory: is there any way I can just dump raw mouse events and see if anything is even getting through? | 03:46 |
| bkt5401 | SuperSenior, not a problem. I think what i need to do is kill 8.04 completely and install 9.04 from scratch. the upgrade manager isn't giong to make it | 03:46 |
| unitheory | Hodapp, xev | 03:46 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, of course not, that would make things too easy | 03:46 |

| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba format it to ext4.. | 03:47 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: what do you mean | 03:47 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, if you have another computer with the same exact kernel version, you can use that to compile the driver | 03:47 |
| losher | texasjack: what do you want to run instead of gdm? | 03:47 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: like how this hard drive is ext 1 and 2 | 03:47 |
| texasjack | losher, my shell (bash)! | 03:47 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbbazabba I suggest you download the Gparted LiveCD. It is a liveCD used just for partitioning. It's handy because you dont have to worry about unmounting the drive, etc. like you have to do in Ubuntu | 03:47 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: no cds =/ | 03:48 |
| Hodapp | unitheory: scrolling produces no events in that; could I expect events from the scroll wheel even if something is misconfigured? | 03:48 |
| losher | texasjack: no gui at all? Ever? | 03:48 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba wait did you say youre on 8.04? If so, then format it to EXT3 | 03:48 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, unfortunately pretty much all my computers are amd64 at this point... | 03:48 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: ok | 03:48 |
| unitheory | Hodapp, you must position the cursor over the little box, and then scroll. see if that does anything | 03:48 |
| Hodapp | unitheory: I did that. Other buttons produced events. | 03:49 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, ouch, seriously? nothing? | 03:49 |
| Randall | does anyone know how to get jaunty to recognize my music files(mp3) on my sansa fuze and play them perhaps? | 03:49 |
| texasjack | losher, not so radical... But for a few days I want to use 100% shell. And get rid of the gdm-stuff... | 03:49 |
| ircnickiuse | ubuntu lists on netbook hp mini as 'working fine' with a workaround vaguely mentioned... that IT DOESN'T BOOT.... only with your own searching do you find that 'it works after kernel update'. | 03:49 |
| ircnickiuse | yeah, AWESOME | 03:49 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, (btw yes, i have a flash drive) | 03:49 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba just boot into Ubuntu then and unmount the drive and use Ubuntu's Gparted. You can unmount the drive from terminal "umount /dev/sdx" | 03:49 |
| bishop | joining | 03:49 |
| unitheory | Hodapp, yes, you should expect events | 03:49 |
| losher | texasjack: couldn't be easier. Go to /usr/sbin and mv gdm gdm.orig | 03:49 |
| losher | texasjack: then go to /usr/bin and mv nautilus nautilus.orig, then reboot | 03:50 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: then what do i do, install 8.04 on there.. move the files over, then install 9 on the 60 gig, bring over the files from the 20 and then install 9 on that? | 03:50 |
| unitheory | Hodapp, not sure what the problem is then | 03:50 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, this is gonna be really hard. i doubt your amd64 computers will let you d/l 32 bit kernel headers, etc | 03:50 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba no you do not have to install Ubuntu to that drive if you are only using it for storage..All it needs is a format with ext3 | 03:50 |
| unitheory | Hodapp, I was looking on http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/144187-logitech-dinovo-bluetooth-mouse-kb-combo-w-ubuntu-9-04-a.html | 03:50 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: do i even have to install anything on that one | 03:50 |
| Hodapp | unitheory: Hm. I think it's the mouse itself. I just plugged it into my friend's Macbook and it's not scrolling there. | 03:50 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: which i get through gparted | 03:50 |
| abbazabba | ext 3 | 03:50 |
| texasjack | losher, I was used to just configure a variable, I think its SESSION or something like that... | 03:50 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest99922 | ||
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, this one's amd64 on 2.6.28-r5, downstairs amd64 2.6.28-r11, laptop 2.6.29something | 03:51 |
| Guest99922 | Can anyone tell me how to put diferent wallpapers on all fsides of my cube? | 03:51 |
| texasjack | losher, so, just rename gdm and nautilus? This is soooo weird.... | 03:51 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, that's what chroot is for ;) | 03:51 |
| GuyFromHell | i'll set one up | 03:51 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba yes. Gparted will format it (its a GUI tool) I prefer the command line though. "fdisk /dev/sdx" and then click "d" to delete the partitions on it. Then click "n" for new and 'p" for primary. Then type "mke2fs -j /dev/sdx" and youre done | 03:52 |
| losher | texasjack: once you rename them, the system can't find them, so you get cli. All 100% reversible too... | 03:52 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: is sdx a global term for the 2nd hd or is that what you are runnin | 03:52 |
| losher | texasjack: there are other methods, but I think this one is easiest | 03:52 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, you have to get the correct kernel headers, build-essential, etc | 03:52 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: and where do i find gparted | 03:52 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, what kernel version is on the laptop? | 03:52 |
| cabrey | Eee* | 03:52 |
| lindzeyn | sd[x] where x = 1.. | 03:52 |
| GuyFromHell | 2.6.28-11 x86 | 03:53 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba sdx means sda, sdb, etc.. If it is not a SATA drive, then it will be hda, hdb, etc | 03:53 |
| texasjack | losher, OK. And what can I do with the gdm running at tty7? Kill it? | 03:53 |
| dispatch | Tj__ : it never did work trying to get the duel boot thing going. i just decided to install ubuntu and then use virtual box to run my windows | 03:53 |
| GuyFromHell | (does anyone have that in the channel want to compile it for me? :P) | 03:53 |
| lindzeyn | i meant a,b,... | 03:53 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, thats a good idea | 03:53 |
| losher | texasjack: in theory that's enough, but I often find I have to reboot | 03:53 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, except im in a custom kernel right now | 03:53 |
| GuyFromHell | anyone around with a 2.6.28-11 kernel on x86? i think that's latest jaunty hopefully | 03:53 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, i'll have to reboot into jauntys normal one | 03:53 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: alright this whole time i've been thinking hda was the name of it, i didnt know it was hda hdb... one last question. think i'd have enough ide slots since i have one hd and 2 cd players in the spot? | 03:54 |
| texasjack | losher, let's try... | 03:54 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, eh? the compile shouldn't be effected by what you're currently running? | 03:54 |
| paulo | hi can somebody help me get my wireless working | 03:54 |
| Guest99922 | Can anyone tell me how to get a diferent wallpaper on each side of my cube? | 03:54 |
| losher | texasjack: can't imagine why you want to do this, btw... | 03:54 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, yes it does, it will compile for the currently running kernel | 03:54 |
| King601 | Whoas | 03:54 |
| King601 | I just installed ubuntu' | 03:54 |
| King601 | and its working | 03:54 |
| King601 | :o | 03:54 |
| burn_ | is there a default log location to see why my fancontrol conf isn't being loaded at startup? | 03:54 |
| Hodapp | Hmm. Upgrading to new Nvidia drivers seems to have fixed the problem with Pidgin crashing X. | 03:54 |
| King601 | without anything on the desktop | 03:55 |
| unitheory | horray! | 03:55 |
| King601 | :D | 03:55 |
| matrixblue | Guest99922, doing so would cause you lose the functionality of your desktop | 03:55 |
| FloodBot1 | King601: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:55 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba depends on ur mobo. If your CD drives are in master/slave you might have enough room | 03:55 |
| ircnickiuse | what a wasted night. where are the sound devices defined? | 03:55 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, assuming we're talking about the same procedure as not ubuntu, it should work from current directory? *shrug* it's probably an ubuntu thing | 03:55 |
| Guest99922 | how | 03:55 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: after re reading it, would i want to make the 20 gig a primary drive? | 03:55 |
| ircnickiuse | when the mixer says it has no device - where can you go and see an empty list of devices | 03:55 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, i'll be back in a few minutes, rebooting ;) nope its a linux thing | 03:55 |
| paulo | lspci does not show my broadcom 4311 | 03:55 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba just make 1 big primary ext3 partition on your extra drive | 03:55 |
| abbazabba | ok | 03:55 |
| Guest99922 | i want different wallpapers on my desktops | 03:55 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: just didn't want to mess it up haha | 03:55 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: since i'm going to 9 after all of this, ext3 would be fine right | 03:56 |
| matrixblue | Guest99922, http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=4279 | 03:56 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba and oh yeah, once you get it formatted and ready to go, you will need to add it to /etc/fstab if you want it mounted at boot | 03:56 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: alrighty | 03:56 |
| ircnickiuse | When running alsamixer from terminal: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 03:56 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba if youre going to 9 after this, then I would go ahead and format with ext4. However, 8.04 probably wont let you | 03:56 |
| Guest99922 | thanks il check that | 03:57 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: if i put it to 3, then install 9 on the first one.. would it be able to read the ext3? | 03:57 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba yes i | 03:57 |
| losher | FeasibilityStudy: frankly, I don't think ext4 is worth the bother... | 03:57 |
| abbazabba | ohhhhh | 03:57 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, now running on 2.6.28-11-generic :) | 03:57 |
| abbazabba | losher: why do you say that | 03:58 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: you gonna take that from him haha | 03:58 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba 9.04 can read ext3 partitions, not probs there | 03:58 |
| abbazabba | k cool | 03:58 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba yes, because everyone has opinions | 03:58 |
| Guest99922 | :( in windows i could have diferent wallpapers | 03:58 |
| losher | abbazabba: it's relatively new, and not quite stable, though faster. But in filesystems, stable trumps faster... | 03:58 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: just bustin chops | 03:58 |
| abbazabba | losher: i might have to agree with you | 03:59 |
| FeasibilityStudy | losher its stable. The "instability" everyone talks about has nothing to do with ext4 itself. Its the fault of app devs | 03:59 |
| bishop | joining | 03:59 |
| BotLobsta | is there a better way to get a typo in a UI string fixed than filing a bug? | 03:59 |
| matrixblue | Guest99922, you can in compiz but like the post said you'll lose your Desktop icons being displayed | 03:59 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, done | 03:59 |
| abbazabba | BotLobsta: great nick | 03:59 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, sweet, you beat me to it | 03:59 |
| losher | FeasibilityStudy: amounts to the same thing, in the end. More trouble than it's worth... | 04:00 |
| unitheory | BotLobsta, fis it yourself? | 04:00 |
| unitheory | fix | 04:00 |
| koshari | BotLobsta you could prolly use a hex editor, however that wont fix the upstream bug | 04:00 |
| jon5001 | quick question folks, i have to uninstall ubuntu from a dual boot machine with vista. I have fixed the MBR so grub wont freak when I boot up and the ubuntu partition is gone, but my question is... i am just about to enter ubuntu from the live cd and use gparted to get rid of the ubuntu partition. i want to add that space back to the vista partition. do i have to format it to fat32? | 04:00 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, ok now the issue is delivery, but luckily, i have my own domain | 04:00 |
| GuyFromHell | i wish i could just download it on the netbook >__> | 04:00 |
| SuperSenior | unitheory: not very helpful are we haha | 04:00 |
| BotLobsta | unitheory, i would but I dont know how to submit a patch or anything back | 04:00 |
| * losher thinks texasjack has been rebooting for a long time. Hope I didn't mess him up... | 04:01 | |
| unitheory | right, well i don't either :\ | 04:01 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Anyone there? | 04:01 |
| SuperSenior | losher: :o | 04:01 |
| dayo | how do i make files immutable in ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| BotLobsta | abbazabba, thanks ive gotten that every once in a while | 04:01 |
| SuperSenior | unitheory: we dont need to know who *cant* help.. just who can | 04:01 |
| matrixblue | dayo chmod 000 | 04:01 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: i just opened up my comp and theres one ide spot open, i believe it's coming straight from the hd, thatshould be the slave right? | 04:01 |
| FeasibilityStudy | and ext4 is only unstable if there is a sudden power outage during disk writes, which should not effect anyone but enterprise users | 04:01 |
| Joshua_Mayer | How big is ubuntu desktop to be? | 04:02 |
| Joshua_Mayer | 600mb? | 04:02 |
| abbazabba | losher: if you want to answer that too you can haha | 04:02 |
| abbazabba | BotLobsta: thank you! | 04:02 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, i use a cacert.org signed certificate so its going to give you errors about ssl | 04:02 |
| raylu | FeasibilityStudy: er, isn't that what the journal is for? | 04:02 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, https://smallserve.net/atl1e.ko | 04:02 |
| dayo | matrixblue: i remember something about chattr | 04:02 |
| FeasibilityStudy | abbazabba no. If there is one IDE slot, it's not a slave..Just plug ur HD into it.. | 04:02 |
| dajhorn | Joshua_Mayer: The ubuntu-desktop is slightly less than 2GB. The base system is near 400MB. | 04:02 |
| FeasibilityStudy | raylu, yes. That isnt the issue | 04:02 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: nah there is one left on the ribbon.. in total i believe i have 5 | 04:02 |
| matrixblue | dayo, or better chmod 444 | 04:02 |
| dayo | matrixblue: but it's not working. says chattr is not installed, and trying to install won't work, cuz apt can't findi it | 04:03 |
| losher | FeasibilityStudy: a filesystem that can't withstand a sudden power outage. Boy, I'm sold.....NOT | 04:03 |
| abbazabba | FeasibilityStudy: 4 being used and one left open | 04:03 |
| matrixblue | dayo, chmod 444 <filename> | 04:03 |
| miguel | Hello i need help setting up skype on ubuntu.. thanks | 04:03 |
| dayo | matrixblue: but root chould change the permissions again | 04:03 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest53554 | ||
| FeasibilityStudy | losher it is because of delayed allocation. Go read Theodore Ts'os blog posts about it | 04:03 |
| matrixblue | dayo, root can do anything | 04:03 |
| dayo | matrixblue: i need something that prevents even root from writing to the file | 04:03 |
| Joshua_Mayer | I am downloading the Desktop ISO, and it says it is 260mb. Is that right? | 04:04 |
| cabrey | losher, i havent had any data loss fwiw | 04:04 |
| matrixblue | dayo, encryption is the only sure protection | 04:04 |
| raylu | dayo: mount it as ro | 04:04 |
| ubuntuBoy | hey guys! | 04:04 |
| SuperSenior | Joshua_Mayer it should be much bigger | 04:04 |
| Guest53554 | Hello i need to set up skype | 04:04 |
| cabrey | !skype | 04:04 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 04:04 |
| SuperSenior | Joshua_Mayer about 700 megs | 04:04 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Firefox keeps stopping the download! | 04:05 |
| Guest53554 | the problem is it tells me "only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time | 04:05 |
| ubuntuBoy | does anyone use ia32-apt-get here? | 04:05 |
| losher | Actually, my main concern is the couple of users on this list who showed up claiming that their ext4 fs spontaneously corrupted itself. Could've been user error of course, but you know what? No-one comes here with that story on ext3.... | 04:05 |
| raylu | Joshua_Mayer: consider bittorrent | 04:05 |
| matrixblue | raylu, root could mount it as rw | 04:05 |
| * GuyFromHell stabs syslog. give me more output | 04:05 | |
| raylu | losher: is that ext4dev? | 04:05 |
| Joshua_Mayer | I completely forgot about that! I am sure that will work! Thanks | 04:05 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, ...? | 04:06 |
| Teltariat | Stabbing syslog usually leads to less output. | 04:06 |
| FeasibilityStudy | Ext4 uses a filesystem performance technique called allocate-on-flush, also known as delayed allocation. It consists of delaying block allocation until the data is going to be written to the disk, unlike other file systems, which allocate the necessary blocks before that step. This improves performance and reduces fragmentation by improving block allocation decisions based on the actual file size. | 04:06 |
| SuperSenior | Joshua_Mayer glad to help! | 04:06 |
| raylu | matrixblue: i assume he just wants to prevent accidental writes by a program, not a security concern | 04:06 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, it takes the module but the interface is still not showing up | 04:06 |
| FeasibilityStudy | The problem is that apps arent developed to expect this behavior, so Ts'o had to create a patch | 04:06 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, i assumed you use insmod? | 04:06 |
| matrixblue | raylu, if that were the case then chmod would be the solution | 04:06 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, look at dmesg | 04:06 |
| losher | raylu: dunno. If I recall it was a couple of 9.04 stock installers who chose ext4 for their root fs | 04:06 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Um, if I want ubuntu desktop, which torrent do I need? | 04:06 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, nothing | 04:06 |
| Joshua_Mayer | ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent? | 04:06 |
| raylu | matrixblue: some program might be running as root and chmod-ing/writing | 04:07 |
| harrisony | Joshua_Mayer: yep | 04:07 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, modprobe, but same thing | 04:07 |
| matrixblue | raylu, point taken | 04:07 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, modprobe shouldn't work, the module is not 'installed' | 04:07 |
| raylu | matrixblue: but if it's a security concern, then you're correct | 04:07 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, i made it so :P | 04:07 |
| Z3ro3X | Has any one here (using nvidia graphics) upgraded to the new 2.6.30 kernel? | 04:07 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, rmmod to remove it, then use sudo insmod to see if it makes a difference | 04:08 |
| GuyFromHell | oh interesting, i think modprobe was finding a diff version or something | 04:08 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest70712 | ||
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, you never know... | 04:08 |
| Joshua_Mayer | I have downloaded Ubuntu 5 times, and it stuffs up everytime! Thanks god for bittorrent | 04:08 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, it did... | 04:08 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, does that mean it works? | 04:08 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, yea, i put the module in the wrong place :P | 04:08 |
| glicks | anyone running ubuntu on a netbook? | 04:08 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, apparently ubuntu's kernel has the module, it's just broken | 04:08 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, did you use modprobe or insmod then? | 04:09 |
| chuck | Is it possible to install a version of a package from a newer version of ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, im running a 2.6.30 kernel with the nvidia 180.60 module | 04:09 |
| elizeusouza | Hi | 04:09 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, both. insmod pointed me to the kernel was loading the wrong module, i installed the module properly now | 04:09 |
| matrixblue | !backports | chuck | 04:09 |

| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, I tried the packages from "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/". How did you upgrade? | 04:10 |
| losher | FeasibilityStudy: So I rest my case: Ext4 is currently more trouble than its worth, especially for beginners.... | 04:10 |
| bishop | hi eli | 04:10 |

| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Normally, the packages I get from that link work fine. But this latest one doesn't install correctly. The nvidia graphics are messed up. Sorry if that's vague but I don't have the technical know how to say my graphics break when installing that new kernel. | 04:12 |
| dayo | raylu: matrixblue: it was chattr after all. i had renamed it months ago to stop people from re-chattring a file | 04:13 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, how do i install a repository | 04:13 |
| glicks | unitheory, how you liking it? im thinkging of getting a netbook, but i wanna wait for the T101h should be comming end of the month or next month | 04:13 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, what repo specifically? | 04:13 |
| Guest70712 | # | 04:13 |
| Guest70712 | Add the Skype repository*: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free | 04:13 |
| unitheory | glicks, I love it ;] | 04:13 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, does the module build and install correctly when you installed the kernel? | 04:13 |
| matrixblue | chuck, System > Administration > Software Sources > Updates | 04:13 |
| glicks | unitheory, you have any idea when the t101h is comming out | 04:13 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, System > Administration > Software Sources > 3rd Party Software Tab | 04:14 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, beautiful. thanks again, i'm out to fiddle with this in a non-desktop-setting-that-completely-defeats-the-purpose-of-a-netbook | 04:14 |
| chuck | matrixblue: It's Ubuntu Server | 04:14 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, i hate that interface | 04:14 |
| unitheory | glicks, no idea. the 701 was one of the first models | 04:14 |
| bishop | out.. | 04:14 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Right now I'm running kernel 2.6.29.4 from this link "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.4/". So I'm trying to figure how what's different that causes graphics to break. | 04:14 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, UNR's? | 04:14 |
| Guest70712 | ok and then i add exactly what part of that | 04:14 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, yes. | 04:14 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, i'm kind of a fan personally, but i've only used it for maybe 15 minutes so far | 04:14 |
| cabrey | Guest70199, Add... copy that line in | 04:14 |
| glicks | unitheory, yeah im thinking of taking a drive to bestbuy to check them out | 04:14 |
| glicks | im seling my laptop | 04:15 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, no compiz support, which i want specifically for the compositing window manager part | 04:15 |
| elizeusouza | i can't up date or Instal EMC2 by synaptic or per terminal!! | 04:15 |
| anom01y | !itouch | 04:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about itouch | 04:15 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, have you tried checking you Xorg log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and seeing if there are any errors reported there? | 04:15 |
| matrixblue | chuck, open /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the like with backports | 04:15 |
| matrixblue | chuck, use your fav text editor | 04:15 |
| elizeusouza | I'm using ubuntu 9.4 version | 04:15 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, i'm going to fiddle with it a bit more before i decide if i should nuke it for like wmii or something | 04:15 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, but i installed UNR then switched to normal desktop because it felt faster than normal ubuntu, but who knows, it was probably all in my head ;) | 04:15 |
| anom01y | how can I get an iTouch to work in ubuntu ? when I plug it in xubuntu doesnt show it in the "places", and I don't know how to mount it | 04:15 |
| FeasibilityStudy | elizeusouza because the packaghe is traveling faster than light | 04:15 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, if you goto this link "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-common/+bug/384639" you'll see a comment I posted with info on the shell output from the attempted install. | 04:15 |
| beinghuman | okay so I did a bit of search and it took me here | 04:16 |
| beinghuman | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/251107 | 04:16 |
| chuck | How do I upgrade from Ubuntu Server Intrepid to Jaunty? | 04:16 |
| beinghuman | that's why nvidia-glx-71 isn't working | 04:16 |
| beinghuman | however, this is old | 04:16 |
| beinghuman | and the beta drivers are out and the package manager should have replaced them by now | 04:16 |
| cabrey | anom01y, not supported here, you have to jailbreak it and even then its support is flaky | 04:16 |
| elizeusouza | ???????????????? | 04:16 |
| unitheory | glicks, why's that? | 04:16 |
| matrixblue | anom01y, iTouch doesn't enable use as a hard disk | 04:16 |
| beinghuman | but it's still not working for me | 04:16 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, it tells me an error occurred | 04:16 |
| Guest93580 | Can someone tell me the main difference between Ubuntu and openSUSE? | 04:16 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, tell me exactly what you pasted | 04:16 |
| losher | !upgrade | chuck | 04:16 |
| cabrey | Guest93580, not here | 04:16 |
| ubottu | chuck: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 04:16 |
| Guest70712 | : deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free | 04:16 |
| FeasibilityStudy | Ubuntu = Gnome, Suse = KDE | 04:17 |
| chuck | losher: I already checked that, doesn't have any server instructions | 04:17 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free | 04:17 |
| Guest93580 | Why would you use openSUSE and why would you use Ubuntu? | 04:17 |
| cabrey | FeasibilityStudy, it has a gnome version too | 04:17 |
| texasjack | losher, it works. After a 'dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' the fonts are OK and I'm at terminal. Great... | 04:17 |
| FeasibilityStudy | Ubuntu = Canonical, Suse = Novell | 04:17 |
| grey- | howdy. :) | 04:17 |
| anom01y | cabrey, does itunes work using wine ? | 04:17 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, what was the error then? | 04:17 |
| elizeusouza | so............I tried out update by synaptic choosing de 8.04 cd but...........no sucess!! | 04:17 |
| matrixblue | Guest93580, in addition Ubuntu focuses more on desktop users while OpenSUSE is more enterprise focuses | 04:17 |
| losher | texasjack: you were gone a long time. I thought maybe I'd killed you.... | 04:17 |
| grey- | what's the ubuntu equivalent to something like /etc/mailer.conf where I specify which MTA is being used? | 04:17 |
| grey- | (or is there?) | 04:17 |
| cabrey | anom01y, i think itunes 7 worked kinda with wine, but no idea on the ipod support | 04:17 |
| cabrey | !appdb | anom01y | 04:18 |
| ubottu | anom01y: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 04:18 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, I have since removed the new kernel and booted into the working one. Would that log file change after reverting? | 04:18 |
| unitheory | anom01y, there are plenty of programs native to linux that you can use. just search google | 04:18 |
| usser | grey-, update-alternatives probably | 04:18 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, the question for me really is not "should i nuke the UNR interface" as much as "should i nuke ubuntu". i meant it to be a stopping point before i decide for gentoo or not :P | 04:18 |
| grey- | usser: what's the path to that? | 04:18 |
| usser | grey-, man update-alternatives | 04:18 |
| matrixblue | chuck, sudo apt-get upgrade -d | 04:18 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, it says E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg--configure-a' to correct the problem... | 04:18 |
| Guest93580 | Does Ubuntu have better implementation of Destkop "feature" then openSUSE? | 04:18 |
| chuck | matrixblue: what? | 04:18 |
| texasjack | losher, I take so long just to discover how to change the resolution and the fonts... Now are all right. Thank you. | 04:18 |
| chuck | No, I want to upgrade from intrepid to jaunty | 04:18 |
| cabrey | GuyFromHell, you like wasting your time i see :P | 04:18 |
| cabrey | !ot | Guest93580 | 04:19 |
| ubottu | Guest93580: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:19 |
| losher | texasjack: remind me, why did you want to get rid of your gui? | 04:19 |
| GuyFromHell | cabrey, oh yea, all the time. with 4 computers compiles don't take too long :P | 04:19 |
| matrixblue | chuck, sorry sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:19 |
| elizeusouza | some people here in this room like use CNC machines? | 04:19 |
| anom01y | unitheory, but I can't even mount the iTouch (or see it), so would these programs still work ? | 04:19 |
| chuck | matrixblue: Still no :P | 04:19 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, ok we can do this through the command line then | 04:19 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, yes it changes every time you restart your X server. However the previous log is moved to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old so it might be there if the last time you started your machine it was with the bad kernel | 04:19 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, I have no idea what I'm looking for in that log file. Here's the whole log. http://pastebin.com/d48a81d44 | 04:19 |
| Guest70712 | cabre, ok so how | 04:19 |
| unitheory | anom01y, I can't say for sure. I dont have one ;] but I believe yes | 04:19 |
| cabrey | !iphone | anom01y | 04:19 |
| ubottu | anom01y: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 04:19 |
| matrixblue | chuck, check the wiki then | 04:19 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, so how | 04:19 |
| cabrey | best thing i can do | 04:19 |
| texasjack | losher, because it was taking 59% of my RAM (512 MB).... GNOME + some loser widgets + compiz... | 04:20 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, remove the line you added through that app | 04:20 |
| jon5001 | nevermind y'all. Gparted is awesome! | 04:20 |
| randabis | !blackberry | 04:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about blackberry | 04:20 |
| losher | chuck: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades has a couple of lines of 'Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)'. Won't that do? | 04:20 |
| randabis | aww | 04:20 |
| unitheory | texasjack, i bet a lot of the ram is being used as cache | 04:20 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, What I can do is install the new kernel, reboot so it makes a new log. | 04:20 |
| elizeusouza | bye..............good night is 23:30 over her in Brazil.........I need wake up early tomorrow | 04:20 |
| elizeusouza | bye | 04:21 |
| randabis | guess there really aren't any linux resources for blackberry | 04:21 |
| losher | texasjack: understood. You do know there are lighter weight choices if you still want a gui? | 04:21 |
| texasjack | losher, now I just need to put some color here (ircII) and the rest is fine... MP3 player, browser, vim :), and mc. =) | 04:21 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, ok so n ow what | 04:21 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, open a terminal and make it larger horizontally | 04:21 |
| texasjack | losher, yes I know, but I want to use like I'd used in good ol' times of my Gentoo... | 04:22 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, ok | 04:22 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Here is the old log. http://pastebin.com/d21dfe5e9 If this log doesn't contain info on the new kernel let me know. | 04:22 |
| texasjack | losher, I used to use (?) fluxbox at GUI... Nothing more.... | 04:22 |
| sacdman | I asked someone here earlier, I think it was fryguy about setting up my xorg.conf file to adjust the refresh rate | 04:22 |
| cabrey | texasjack, did it actually 'take' your ram? | 04:22 |
| === jdo_ is now known as jdobrien | ||
| sacdman | I did look at man xorg.conf but its way over my head | 04:23 |
| cabrey | or is it just cache | 04:23 |
| texasjack | cabrey, it who? | 04:23 |
| losher | texasjack: yeah, I use fvwm on its own. Sounds like you know there are Ubuntu releases for small machines, and other distros too. so I don't need to say more | 04:23 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, thats still with the 2.6.29 kernel | 04:23 |
| cabrey | texasjack, gnome, compiz, etc | 04:23 |
| cabrey | texasjack, http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ :D | 04:23 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, now what do i do | 04:23 |
| texasjack | losher, no, thanks man. You're initial help was the final help too. =) | 04:23 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, I'm installing the new kernel now in shell. Will this make a new log or do I also need to reboot? | 04:23 |
| texasjack | cabrey, yep... 59% of 512 MB... | 04:24 |
| Guiri | I have a complicated question: I've setup denyhosts to email me upon brute force attempts using localhost and 25. Now I think I need to setup postfix. Is there anyway to have it automatically encrypt the email with a GPG key? | 04:24 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:24 |
| cabrey | Guiri, sounds like a postfix specific question | 04:24 |
| losher | cabrey: cool web page... | 04:25 |
| sacdman | any help here for my xorg.conf file? | 04:25 |
| Guiri | cabrey: Is postfix the most lightweight email daemon out there? | 04:25 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, if the install fails then you wont be able to boot into that kernel. the problem isnt really with your nvidia driver but with the fact that the install doesnt succeed | 04:25 |
| Cry__Baby | anyone been able to get Ekiga to install iLBC codec? | 04:25 |
| cabrey | Guiri, no idea, not a mail guru, try #postfix btw | 04:25 |
| sacdman | need help for xorg.conf refresh rate | 04:25 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, got it now what | 04:26 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, But it'll make a log file and if I reboot again and pick the old kernel on the second reboot I'll get back on. It'll make a new log file but the old log file will have the new kernel. As long as I don't reboot more then twice I should be good. | 04:26 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, at the end of that file (get there with arrow keys or page down) paste that repo line | 04:26 |
| Dethroned | I just uninstalled Ubuntu because I couldn't get my unallocated hd space to merge with it. When I reinstall it...what should I do? | 04:27 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, I'll be back, system is going down for a double reboot. Almost sound pornographic. ;-) Be back soon! | 04:27 |
| Cry__Baby | anyone been able to get Ekiga to install iLBC codec? | 04:28 |
| cabrey | 04:28 | |

| Dethroned | I just uninstalled Ubuntu because I couldn't get my unallocated hd space to merge with it. When I reinstall it...what should I do to make sure that the unallocated space goes to Ubuntu? | 04:28 |
| Cry__Baby | is there any way at all to get iLBC on Ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| sacdman | hi... I have pasted my xorg.conf file and was wondering if I could have some help with adjusting my refresh rate | 04:29 |
| maddhat | anyone know how to format a 1.5tb drive to ext3? i think fdisk is limiting at 1tb.. | 04:29 |
| sacdman | here is the link to pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/193930/ | 04:29 |

| Dethroned | see up | 04:31 |
| Cry__Baby | !repeat > Dethroned | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Dethroned, please see my private message | 04:31 |
| Cry__Baby | Dethroned: sory i dont know | 04:31 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, end of the file theres nothing in there | 04:32 |
| Cry__Baby | !repeat > Cry__Baby | 04:32 |
| ubottu | Cry__Baby, please see my private message | 04:32 |
| Cry__Baby | oops | 04:32 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, you paste the repo line in there | 04:32 |
| sacdman | this should be pretty simple for an experience Linux Ubuntu user: adjusting my refresh rate | 04:32 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, done now | 04:33 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, hit control-o, enter, control-x | 04:33 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, done now | 04:33 |
| ziroday | Dethroned: make sure the unallocated HD space is next to each other, you can rearrange/format before hand with the partition editor (gparted) | 04:34 |
| Cry__Baby | how can FTP using ubuntu? | 04:34 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, also what did that do | 04:34 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, type sudo apt-get update | 04:34 |
| ziroday | Cry__Baby: you can install an ftp application or use nautilus | 04:34 |
| Cry__Baby | ziroday, nautilus will login to my ftp site? | 04:35 |
| cabrey | Cry__Baby, Places > Connect to Server... | 04:35 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, i get the same message | 04:35 |
| ziroday | Cry__Baby: yes, go to Places > Connect to Server | 04:35 |
| Dev_u_pper | :O apt-get?? evil!!! sin!!! blasphemy!!!! (actually why not aptitude... i was under the impression it was more safe :P) | 04:35 |
| ziroday | Dev_u_pper: apt-get and aptitude are the same | 04:35 |
| jamescarr | this is a dumb question.. but how can I add a dir to my path at the commandline temporarily for this session | 04:35 |
| cabrey | Dev_u_pper, i use aptitude | 04:35 |
| cabrey | ziroday, no they're not | 04:35 |
| ziroday | Dev_u_pper: err correction, similar. Both are equally good | 04:35 |
| Cry__Baby | ziroday, wow I didnt know that | 04:35 |
| Flannel | Dev_u_pper: No, they're not the same, but aptitude isn't more safe | 04:35 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, it says E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 04:36 |
| Cry__Baby | ziroday, that works like a ftp client? | 04:36 |
| ziroday | Cry__Baby: yes, or you can install a seperate FTP client from the repo's | 04:36 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, go ahead and run sudo dpkg --configure -a | 04:36 |
| losher | Dev_u_pper: this topic comes up regularly, to no clear consensus. Use whichever you prefer... | 04:36 |
| Cry__Baby | has anyone worked out a way to use iLBC on Ubuntu? | 04:36 |
| Cry__Baby | ziroday, which one is recommended? | 04:36 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, now what | 04:36 |
| cabrey | Cry__Baby, they are both technically ftp clients | 04:36 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, what was the output? | 04:37 |
| Cry__Baby | cabrey, cool | 04:37 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Ok, I this log file should be the right one. http://pastebin.com/d56123f34 | 04:37 |
| Cry__Baby | cabrey: ever used iLBC? | 04:37 |
| Dev_u_pper | ahah, yeah, i found a site that illustrates an interesting differece for aptitude vs apt-get: | 04:37 |
| Dev_u_pper | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude | 04:37 |
| cabrey | Cry__Baby, nope | 04:37 |
| Cry__Baby | what codec in Ekiga uses the less bandwidth? | 04:37 |
| Cry__Baby | they took out iLBC :( | 04:38 |
| Dev_u_pper | aptitude is supposedly better at dealing with dependencies, and cleanup afterwards | 04:38 |
| cabrey | Dev_u_pper, this is true | 04:38 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, when you installed the kernel, did dkms run and build the nvidia kernel module? | 04:38 |
| jamescarr | this is a dumb question.. but how can I add a dir to my path at the commandline temporarily for this session | 04:38 |

| jamescarr | losher, thank you | 04:41 |
| cabrey | Turing test thats what i was thinking of | 04:42 |
| cabrey | not captcha | 04:42 |

| elysianfields | Hello! Does anyone here know how to write in Cyrillic in Ubuntu? I've read the countless forum threads, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. | 04:44 |
| cowgarden | headrx, start nano as sudo | 04:44 |
| cabrey | never buying from ati, ever | 04:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | headrx, sudo? | 04:44 |
| Dev_u_pper | cabrey: touche :) | 04:44 |
| headrx | when i sudo , it doesnt even open | 04:44 |
| cabrey | cypha, best featureset, so yes | 04:44 |
| Dev_u_pper | !sudo | 04:44 |
| 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) | 04:44 |
| Dev_u_pper | :D | 04:44 |
| Rob235 | is there a good program that searches the internet for ID3 tags for mp3s and after it sets them you can rename them based on the tags? | 04:44 |
| cowgarden | headrx, same command and with sudo it does NOT work? thats very strange | 04:45 |

| headrx | weird | 04:45 |
| losher | CaptainMorgan: Try 8.04 LTS. Very stable. Fewer updates, thus fewer reboots. Not all updates are required anyway. Probably only security-related ones are mandatory.... | 04:45 |

| CaptainMorgan | losher, security-updates that are mandatory tend to require reboot? | 04:46 |
| cabrey | no | 04:46 |
| CaptainMorgan | losher, interesting... thank you for your intput | 04:46 |
| jamescarr | any idea how I could get my monitor output to work on my laptop? | 04:46 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, http://paste.ubuntu.com/193936/ | 04:46 |
| cabrey | CaptainMorgan, usually updates on ubuntu or linux in general don't require a reboot | 04:46 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, and whats in /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/180.44/build/make.log | 04:47 |
| koshari | cabrey kernel updates mainly do | 04:47 |
| cabrey | ^ | 04:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | cabrey, aye, kernel updates | 04:47 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, http://pastebin.com/d6c338220 | 04:47 |
| Dev_u_pper | CaptainMorgan: most linux services that get updated automatically restart their associated services, at the request of the package manager. Kernel Updates themselves that cannot be reloaded (i.e. non-modules) will require a restart | 04:48 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, looks good, you must've had an issue with java or something. now run sudo apt-get update again | 04:48 |
| losher | CaptainMorgan: I don't think that's necessarily true or what I said. What I meant was that security updates should not be ignored lightly, unlike other kinds of update which are often uneccessary... | 04:48 |
| iluminator101 | how do i add my self to sudoers i didnt setup root account? | 04:48 |
| cabrey | iluminator101, you're already in the sudoers file by default | 04:48 |
| oenone | can i ask for help here ? | 04:48 |
| xtknight | iluminator101, add yourself to the admin group from your primary sudo account | 04:48 |
| cabrey | iluminator101, and root account is usually disabled | 04:48 |

| ubottu | cypha: 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. | 04:49 |

| Flannel | iluminator101: Did you break your current sudo abilities? or what? | 04:49 |
| cypha | flannel, i understand how a poll works, thanks | 04:50 |
| CaptainMorgan | Dev_u_pper, sure... if you've updated recently, and consistently, within the past say... month, would you say kernel updates were published often? I think I saw two within a span of 30 days recently... could be wrong | 04:50 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, it says done, so now what | 04:50 |
| cypha | thanks joekarl | 04:50 |
| * cabrey facepalms | 04:50 | |

| xtknight | headrx, im not sure.. the same thing happens to me with gdm restart sometimes. it might be a timeout issue ... did you try it again? | 04:52 |
| === Nuke-Korea-be4-i is now known as tcpdump | ||
| losher | headrx: it's a bad sign. Why were you restarting your network anyway? | 04:52 |
| xtknight | (or some kind of race condition) | 04:52 |
| darlek | deeperDATA, usually there's no problem, but you might have to remove it and try mounting it again. You should be able to see ubuntu seeing the device from dmesg | 04:52 |

| CaptainMorgan | oenone, have you tried? | 04:53 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, no but it says it cant fid that package | 04:53 |
| oenone | tried what ? | 04:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | Can anyone say if there is any app for Ubuntu or a web site that allows you to search for podcasts that are registered in iTunes without needing iTunes? | 04:53 |
| xtknight | lexxy, not bad, you have a question about ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| kieran | #merb | 04:53 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, the 180.60 version isnt in jaunty but you can get the packages here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/ | 04:53 |
| lexxy | yeah | 04:54 |
| darlek | deeperDATA, dmesg is a place ...where messages are sent to ubuntu about devices. Open a terminal and type dmesg, you'll see a bunch of stuff from when the computer was turned on | 04:54 |
| Dev_u_pper | Dev_u_pper: it can depend on the severity of the kernel updates that come out. Usually I see about 2 & 1/2 per month, but if there are any important exploits that get patched, you can depend on the odd important one | 04:54 |
| joekarl | any news yet on if karmic is gonna have configurable notifications? | 04:54 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, i think i should do the first command you told me and add the source again, what was it | 04:54 |
| darlek | !dmesg | 04:54 |
| xtknight | joekarl, like libnotify? | 04:54 |
| ubottu | dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. | 04:54 |
| Dev_u_pper | <CaptainMorgan>: it can depend on the severity of the kernel updates that come out. Usually I see about 2 & 1/2 per month, but if there are any important exploits that get patched, you can depend on the odd important one | 04:54 |
| joekarl | yeah, but the new notification stuff | 04:54 |
| Dev_u_pper | lol wow i just reply'd myself :p | 04:54 |
| deeperDATA | darlek: interesting.... I'll give it a try, brb | 04:54 |
| xtknight | no idea | 04:54 |
| lexxy | I downloaded the Jaunty distro but I keep havin trouble trying to use my wireless card | 04:54 |
| oenone | @captain morgan? tried what sir ? | 04:54 |
| joekarl | still haven't tried messing with it yet | 04:54 |
| xtknight | joekarl, im running it in a VM now ill let you know if i see anything | 04:54 |
| lexxy | its a netgear WNDA3100 | 04:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | oenone, your question was if you can use it, --- have you tried using it?? | 04:55 |
| oenone | yup | 04:55 |
| joekarl | there was something in jaunty to change the location, but that sucked and went away | 04:55 |
| CaptainMorgan | Dev_u_pper, thank you for the input ;) | 04:55 |
| myself | dev_u_pper | 04:55 |
| myself | thank you :) | 04:55 |
| oenone | but i cant hear anything | 04:55 |
| lexxy | I was wondering if u have any suggestions as to accessing a driver | 04:55 |
| joekarl | yeah, I'm running karmic a1 in vbox, | 04:55 |
| joekarl | really nice | 04:55 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Because the new version isn't in the repos, what's the easiest way to upgrade the driver? I would prefer a deb package to keep the system relatively clean. | 04:55 |
| Dev_u_pper | myself: yes, myself? | 04:55 |
| joekarl | virtual compositing ftw | 04:55 |
| xtknight | lexxy, not sure, i will have to find out which driver your card uses | 04:55 |
| myself | u said my name | 04:55 |
| oenone | how can i make my usb headset work on ubuntu | 04:55 |
| myself | so i said thank you :) | 04:55 |
| Dev_u_pper | wow lol i just got that :) | 04:56 |
| lexxy | aparrently from my quick skim through google it is an atheros but I'm not exactly sure about the chipset | 04:56 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, aptitude search skype | 04:56 |
| xtknight | lexxy, it says an atheros chipset (ath5k would suffice maybe?). is there anything about a module being loaded, and is the interface being detected? (ifconfig -a shows it?) | 04:56 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, just download and install the nvidia-180-kernel-source, nvidia-180-libvdpau, and the nvidia-glx-180 packages of version 180.60 and correct architecture from the link i sent you | 04:57 |
| cabrey | joekarl, +1 | 04:57 |
| xtknight | joekarl, virtual compositing what's that? | 04:57 |
| cabrey | 3d support in virtual box | 04:57 |
| darlek | oenone, if there are specific drivers necessary or special to the device, then you'll need it for ubuntu to use the headset. However a regular one with mic and buds works for me, but this will depend on your hardware situation | 04:57 |
| CaptainMorgan | oenone, this might give you can idea: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=694010 | 04:57 |
| joekarl | you can run compiz or other compositor in your virtual machine | 04:57 |
| CaptainMorgan | s/can/an/ | 04:57 |
| xtknight | oh | 04:57 |
| darlek | oenone, System, Prefs, Sound and try different drivers | 04:57 |
| xtknight | paravirt is certainly nice as well | 04:57 |
| lexxy | says a pan0 | 04:57 |
| cabrey | joekarl, well its still a little buggy and doesnt work perfectly | 04:57 |
| joekarl | yeah, but for the most part its good | 04:57 |
| joekarl | haven't had tons of problems with it | 04:57 |
| oenone | thanks captain | 04:57 |
| oenone | ill look into it | 04:58 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: use the command: "sudo lspci" --> you can use it to get more information on your wireless card :) | 04:58 |
| cabrey | joekarl, perfect for demonstration | 04:58 |
| Dev_u_pper | it may tell of your chipset | 04:58 |

| askvictor | I'm, running an ubuntu 8.04 instance in Virtualbox, df tells me I have about 1gig disk space free, but processes keep telling me there is not enough disk space. The Virtualbox media manager tells me the disk isn't up to it's maximum size, and there is plenty of free space on the host. Any ideas? | 05:02 |
| xtknight | joekarl, oh, i see, i think fedora automatically installed these for me when i had it in avm | 05:02 |
| xtknight | a vm | 05:02 |
| nick125 | Hey guys. I have a USB soundcard that doesn't seem to be automagically detected...if I manually modprobe snd_usb_audio, it works...but not until then. Any ideas? | 05:02 |
| joekarl | you have to reinstall the additions when the kernel gets updated, but no big deal | 05:02 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, i think it is working now because it is actually instaling dependencies | 05:02 |
| lexxy | I only get Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0846:9010 NetGear, Inc. | 05:02 |
| joekarl | yeah, had bad luck with fedora 11 in vbox | 05:02 |
| cabrey | joekarl, don't get me started :/ | 05:03 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, all this reminds me of my jailbroken ipod touch, all the repos and debs | 05:03 |
| xtknight | really? f11 worked great in my vbox | 05:03 |
| ramael | somehow I think its because my driver is ipw2100 | 05:03 |
| xtknight | not so great on my normal pc, though | 05:03 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, They're currently installing. I removed the new kernel first. Do I need to reboot before I reinstall the new kernel? | 05:03 |
| cabrey | Guest70712, that's where the ipod touch/iphone got the idea and software from | 05:03 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, no you shouldnt have to do that | 05:03 |
| CaptainMorgan | oenone, what will help you here is being as detailed as possible... things like headset make, release of Ubuntu you're using, whether you're system recognizes other usb devices you've plugged into the same slot... etc | 05:03 |
| ramael | so... dead end? or is it a way for me to be able to use aireplay-ng? | 05:03 |
| CaptainMorgan | oenone, must go for now, but good luck | 05:03 |
| Guest70712 | cabrey, i guess haha its cool | 05:03 |
| lexxy | where can I get the ath5 to enable this usb dongle? | 05:03 |
| joekarl | well, just looking forward to ksm in karmic | 05:03 |
| oenone | thanks for the help captainmorgan | 05:04 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Looks like the new drivers installed with out any errors. Now I'm going to try reinstalling the kernel... | 05:04 |

| xtknight | lexxy, other people say they used ndiswrapper to get it working. it might be the path of least resistance, even though it's not the preferred method. otherwise you would probably have to find a patch and recompile your kernel. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690699 | 05:04 |
| xtknight | or hmm maybe madwifi supports it | 05:05 |
| lexxy | the module does not exist on my system | 05:05 |
| joekarl | had bad luck with that, possibly because of nvidia driver, not sure, too busy to figure it out at the moment | 05:05 |
| xtknight | lexxy, ath5k? | 05:05 |
| cabrey | lexxy, run lsmod | pastebinit | 05:05 |
| cabrey | !pastebinit | 05:05 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit | 05:05 |
| ramael | is it in .deb? how can I change to madwifi? :) | 05:05 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: should be called ath5k, not askk5 | 05:05 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: what's strange is that it doesn't get pulled in automatically | 05:06 |
| xtknight | well ath5k freezes my system by default perhaps that's why | 05:06 |
| xtknight | i just don't use my wireless card | 05:06 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: System > Administration > Hardware drivers ... have you checked there? | 05:07 |
| === warrie is now known as Saties | ||
| cabrey | i use ath5k for my hardware | 05:07 |
| === Saties is now known as Saites | ||
| xtknight | joekarl, haha the virtual compositing is too cool | 05:07 |
| xtknight | it's so fast! | 05:08 |
| joekarl | yeah, a little slow, but freakin sweet | 05:08 |
| cabrey | hardware acceleration | 05:08 |
| xtknight | lol. | 05:08 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Looks like the new kernel installed with out any errors in shell this time. I'm about to reboot. Hold on to your butt! | 05:08 |
| cabrey | i never let go | 05:08 |
| soreau | ramza: Go to aircrack-ng.org and it has all you want to know, including Drivers, Patches and the entire suite. Read. | 05:09 |
| joekarl | xtknight, makes ubuntu that much more enjoyable compared to windows | 05:09 |
| lexxy | have a squiz @ http://pastebin.com/f1347c128 | 05:10 |
| cabrey | joekarl, except when you have to recompile modules on each kernel update >:( | 05:10 |
| xtknight | joekarl, in windows i waste time by cleaning trojans and on ubuntu i waste time by wobbling my windows | 05:10 |
| joekarl | cabrey, well worth it though | 05:10 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, I'm in the new kernel. Looks like all system go. Thanks big time! :-) | 05:10 |
| JohnWittle | What does "^" mean when refering to keyboard shortcuts? shift? | 05:11 |
| xtknight | control | 05:11 |
| JohnWittle | thank you | 05:11 |
| lexxy | Dev_u_pper there be no listin | 05:11 |
| joekarl | xtknight, good call, I spend too much time playing too, should probably be working now | 05:11 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, youre welcome | 05:11 |
| Z3ro3X | BotLobsta, Seems like boot time is also a lot faster. | 05:11 |
| cabrey | yea don't see ath5k in there, probably the problem | 05:11 |
| BotLobsta | Z3ro3X, it has been getting faster recently ive noticed too | 05:11 |
| lexxy | yeah | 05:11 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: ath5k does not support the chipset in your card Netgear WNDA3100, as per ath5k current supported chipsets: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k#supported_chips | 05:12 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: there may be a better driver for it | 05:12 |
| cabrey | or that could be the problem | 05:12 |
| cabrey | lexxy, there is always ndiswrapper & the nice gui in add & remove... | 05:12 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: (though, this at least explains why the kernel chose not to load the ath5k... mostly because it wouldn't work :P) | 05:12 |
| cabrey | kernel is smart | 05:12 |
| lexxy | i came across some articles on the AR9100 ming itodule but I have been unsuccessful at locat | 05:12 |
| Dev_u_pper | let's see if there is something other than ndiswrapper first | 05:13 |
| Dev_u_pper | just for "linux reasons" ;> | 05:13 |
| cabrey | Dev_u_pper, have fun with that | 05:13 |
| xtknight | ath_pci and friends? | 05:13 |
| cabrey | that was blacklisted for some reason | 05:13 |
| xtknight | superseded by ath5k...but not completely | 05:13 |
| xtknight | ath5k crashes my system while the old driver works... but i dont know about support | 05:13 |
| lexxy | has anyone come across it? | 05:13 |
| cabrey | lexxy, what does System > Administration > Hardware Drivers show? | 05:14 |
| cabrey | aka jockey | 05:14 |
| xtknight | and your card is wireless N dont you use ath9k | 05:14 |
| askvictor | I'm, running an ubuntu 8.04 instance in Virtualbox, 'df' in the guest tells me I have about 1gig disk space free, but processes keep telling me there is not enough disk space. The Virtualbox media manager tells me the disk isn't up to it's maximum size, and there is plenty of free space on the host. Any ideas? | 05:15 |

| lexxy | cabrey no proprietry drivers availiable on the machine | 05:15 |
| macvr | hi all... i have a question... when adding repositories to the /etc/apt/sources.list , why are there 2 lines a deb and a deb-src ? is the deb-src line also required? | 05:15 |
| xtknight | macvr, only if you are a developer. deb-src allows you to download the complementary source code | 05:15 |
| joekarl | askvictor, is your disk set to dynamically resize? | 05:15 |
| askvictor | macvr: not unless you want the source | 05:15 |
| Chaorain | Can someone help me with Samba? I majorly broke it. First I wnat to uninstall Samba and start from scratch | 05:16 |

| Guest32073 | how can i restore lost session? | 05:16 |
| joekarl | askvictor, hmm, do you have the vbox additions installed? | 05:16 |
| edbian | Chaorain: To uninstall samba and all of the associated files run in a terminal "sudo apt-get purge samba" Would you like me to explain any part of this command?? | 05:17 |
| Dev_u_pper | lexxy: good news! They are adding support for this card in the upcoming linux kernel. The sad part is that you will have to wait until the next version of ubuntu until your card is supported by the new kernel. Until then, use ndiswrapper | 05:17 |
| Dev_u_pper | !ndiswrapper | 05:17 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:17 |

| Z3ro3X | Any idea when I should expect to see a ext4 defrag tool in the kernel? | 05:17 |
| Chaorain | edbian, ok I'll do that. How do Install a version of samba compatable with vista? | 05:18 |
| === Guest32073 is now known as PatrickL | ||
| lexxy | aw man...... Ah well, like they say rome wasn't built in a day | 05:18 |
| cabrey_ | Z3ro3X, it wouldnt be in the kernel | 05:18 |
| cabrey_ | Z3ro3X, defrag tools are separate tools | 05:18 |
| lexxy | thanx all 4 your help. | 05:18 |
| Z3ro3X | cabrey, What would it be in? | 05:18 |
| edbian | Z3ro3X: You do not need defrag tools with ext3 or 4 because they fill the disk with complicated algorithms and are sort of constantly defragging all of the time "on the fly" | 05:18 |
| lexxy | greatly appreciated. | 05:18 |
| Dev_u_pper | :) | 05:18 |
| cabrey_ | lexxy, did you get it? | 05:18 |
| Philster2 | hey anyone code in cocoa here? | 05:19 |
| cabrey_ | mac dev huh? | 05:19 |
| edbian | Chaorain: AFAIK the samba package in the ubuntu repos is compatable with vista. | 05:19 |
| headrx | anyone : sudo echo wildwest.example.com > /etc/hostname /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start | 05:19 |
| losher | headrx: 2 separate commands: sudo echo wildwest.example.com > /etc/hostname THEN NEWLINE sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start | 05:19 |
| headrx | bash wont let me run ^ | 05:19 |
| lexxy | yeah, | 05:19 |

| PatrickL | how can i restore files and settings? the system somehow logout and all my settings and files are gone. | 05:19 |
| askvictor | joekarl: guest additions are there. | 05:19 |
| Chaorain | edbian, k it says samba was not installed | 05:19 |
| cabrey_ | lexxy, what was the solutino/ | 05:19 |
| cabrey_ | solution?* | 05:19 |
| Philster2 | well iPhone.... yeah still mac my apologies | 05:19 |
| lexxy | will b alright cabrey thanx for your great support | 05:19 |
| lexxy | ndiswrapper for the mean time | 05:20 |
| Z3ro3X | cabrey, edbian, I converted an ext3 to an ext4. Running fsck isn't enough I was told the data also has to be moved on the disc as well and a defrag would do the trick. | 05:20 |
| cabrey_ | Philster2, thats ok, were you looking for a tool or just testing the waters? | 05:20 |
| headrx | sudo echo wildwest.example.com > /etc/hostname was denied as well | 05:21 |
| edbian | Z3ro3X: I don't know anything about converting from ext3 to ext4 but I do know that you do not need to defrag them once they are up and running. | 05:21 |
| edbian | Chaorain: Meaning samba never was installed or that now (after that command) it is no longer installed? | 05:21 |
| PatrickL | I am new to ubuntu.. | 05:21 |
| Chaorain | edbian, it was samba 4 | 05:21 |

| edbian | Chaorain: I don't know anything about it being compatable or incompatable with vista | 05:21 |
| kazagistar | PatrickL: did you install it, or run the live cd? | 05:22 |
| headrx | losher : sudo echo wildwest.example.com > /etc/hostname was denied as well | 05:22 |

| Dev_u_pper | PatrickL: congratulations =D welcome to linux! | 05:23 |
| PatrickL | It is a pain while i kept losing my data and settings.. | 05:23 |
| joekarl | askvictor, okay, they normally solve most of the problems, so I'm kinda lost on that, good luck though | 05:24 |
| ramael | because with ipw2100 I cannot use aireplay-ng | 05:24 |
| askvictor | joekarl: thanks anyway | 05:24 |
| Dev_u_pper | PatrickL: are you having trouble getting access to your documents on windows? | 05:24 |
| Threetimes | Hi, ubuntu is using 700 mb ram, I can't figure out why. | 05:24 |
| edbian | Chaorain: I will run through each part of the command "sudo" gives you root power (you need root power to install/remove software amoung other things). "apt-get" is the cli package manager program "purge" is a flag for apt-get to remove the package and all of it's config files. If you ran sudo apt-get remove it would leave the config files and just remove the package. "samba" is the package name. Bottom line, yes it made "samba go poof" :) | 05:24 |
| askvictor | Threetimes: what are you running? | 05:24 |
| cabrey_ | Threetimes, open gnome-system-monitor | 05:25 |
| Threetimes | Xorg uses 120, Opera uses 50, compiz uses 20, and mysql uses 20 | 05:25 |
| Threetimes | anything else uses less that 10 | 05:25 |
| losher | Threetimes: check out http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 05:25 |
| askvictor | Threetimes: rest could be used by cache | 05:25 |
| Dev_u_pper | Threetimes: is there a process that is wasting 700MB of memory, or are you actually short 700MB or RAM? | 05:25 |
| Dev_u_pper | *of | 05:25 |
| Chaorain | edbian, ok I knew most of that but not the "purge" part. I like "make samba go poof." better though | 05:25 |
| cabrey_ | losher, hey! that was mine... :P | 05:25 |
| edbian | Chaorain: ha ha ha ok | 05:26 |

| Chaorain | edbian, Thankt | 05:26 |
| Chaorain | edbian, Thanks | 05:26 |
| edbian | Chaorain: Unfortunately Samba is a complicated beast and I have never configured it for vista before. I don't think I can help any more. Although I will try to find a good how-to and post the link here soon. | 05:26 |
| edbian | Chaorain: NP | 05:26 |
| cabrey_ | unused ram is wasted ram | 05:26 |

| CrazyTux[m] | Threetimes: trying | 05:33 |
| Dev_u_pper | edbian: samba doesn't usually update it's configuration that much, you should be able to read their guid and apply it (setting-per-setting) to ubuntu's version of the configuration file | 05:33 |

| Threetimes | I have a 220mb disk cache, and I am using 150-200 for applications. free says way more: http://paste.ubuntu.com/193971/ | 05:39 |
| maxagaz | is there a package to install python 2.6.2 on hardy (LTS) ? | 05:39 |
| linux_stu | what grub entry will be listed for the kernel linux-image-virtual? | 05:39 |
| cabrey | linux_stu, that is just a virtual package | 05:40 |
| linux_stu | cabrey: are you sure? under description, it says "Linux kernel image for virtual machines". by installing it, will i not have kernel option for the virtual machine kernel in grub? | 05:40 |
| linux_stu | (description in synaptic, i mean) | 05:41 |
| Dev_u_pper | maxgaz : all packages can be found listed at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , which have official support. In addition, python MAY provide precompiled .deb files at their leisure, from their website. We do not officially support those | 05:41 |
| Dev_u_pper | *maxagaz ^^ | 05:41 |
| J-Rodd | ah, anyone know anything about wireless card drivers? | 05:41 |
| cabrey | linux_stu, hmm maybe i take that back. i've never heard about that but it makes sense | 05:41 |
| cabrey | !wireless | 05:41 |

| casinaroyale | does any one have any clue why my sound is flaky in ubuntu? | 05:42 |
| cabrey | !sound | 05:42 |
| 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 | 05:42 |
| Guest49389 | How do i change my location settings | 05:42 |
| linux_stu | the thing that confuses me is that when i install "linux-image-virtual", the kernel option in grub is listed as " Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-server". Would this not correspond to "linux-image-server"? it confuses me... | 05:43 |
| usser | Guiri, how about sudo ufw --dry-run allow 8080:8090/tcp | 05:43 |

| shadeslayer | myself: vlc :) | 05:49 |
| Dev_u_pper | I'm working on vlc :D | 05:50 |
| myself | whats vlc | 05:50 |
| shadeslayer | Dev_u_pper: hehe | 05:50 |
| usser | myself, i prefer mplayer | 05:50 |
| shadeslayer | !info vlc | myself | 05:50 |
| ubottu | myself: vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1652 kB, installed size 3660 kB | 05:50 |
| soreau | myself: Good alternatives are mplayer or vnc | 05:50 |
| soreau | myself: vlc* | 05:50 |
| usser | !info mplayer | 05:50 |

| shadeslayer | myself: just sudo apt-get install vlc | 05:50 |
| usser | see mplayer is the ultimate | 05:50 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, hmm nope, | 05:50 |
| myself | mplayer has an m in it, makes me think of microsoft | 05:51 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: bah..too bad | 05:51 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, what version are you using? | 05:51 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: how do i see the version :P ?? | 05:51 |
| losher | puller: Dunno what this is all about, but it looks like it took 50 seconds: [ 26.484057] eth1: no IPv6 routers present [ 76.804087] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x7 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen | 05:51 |
| ``y7 | vlc is so over-rated, go with mplayer. it's so much better | 05:51 |
| myself | is anyone here on karmic koala already | 05:51 |
| cabrey | myself, /join #ubuntu+1 | 05:51 |
| joekarl | check the top of the window, it'll say emeraltd theme manager then version | 05:51 |
| puller | losher: so you do not know how to fix it? | 05:52 |
| headrx | http://codepad.org/vHSJWedI | 05:52 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, I've got 0.7.2 | 05:52 |
| Threetimes | My dad uses windows xp pro sp3. He has a printer. I can't print since a few weeks. | 05:52 |

| losher | puller: I don't even know what it means.... | 05:52 |
| headrx | bash cant find any of those packages | 05:52 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: how do i check that?? | 05:52 |
| puller | losher: ok but its a step in the right direction how did you know it took 50 seconds? | 05:52 |
| headrx | does anyone know where i can get a better repository file (aka more up to date) | 05:52 |
| headrx | for 7.10 server | 05:52 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, emerald --version in terminal | 05:52 |
| losher | puller: the timestamp goes from 26 to 76. I believe that's in seconds... | 05:53 |
| bazhang | !karmic > myself | 05:53 |
| ubottu | myself, please see my private message | 05:53 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: same,im talking about the manager,not the actual programme itself | 05:53 |

| shadeslayer | bazhang: oh btw,is kde 4.3 supported now since its in backports?? | 05:54 |
| Guest49389 | it should be more popular but why??? | 05:54 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, right sorry, check the top of the emerald theme manager window, should be the window title | 05:54 |
| bazhang | shadeslayer, no idea; best to ask in #kubuntu | 05:55 |
| shadeslayer | bazhang: ok | 05:55 |
| cabrey | Guest49389, what? | 05:55 |
| J-Rodd | sorry im new to linux, how do i get to console mode? | 05:55 |
| cabrey | J-Rodd, recovery mode? | 05:56 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: hmm...nope cant see anything which says version | 05:56 |
| cabrey | J-Rodd, or a virtual console? | 05:56 |
| Dev_u_pper | !terminal | 05:56 |
| losher | puller: it's hard-drive related. What was running previously on this machine? | 05:56 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 05:56 |
| flashbak | Alright, to whom would I submit a request for the xawtv4 package to be added to Ubuntu/Debian rather than the current xawtv3? | 05:56 |

| puller | losher: i am dual booting | 05:56 |

| shadeslayer | joekarl: is karmic without a GUI or was hal fixed?? | 06:02 |
| rob_p | Ap0llo, Just ask your question. Perhaps someone will know the answer and assist you. | 06:02 |
| headrx | everyone: 7.10 for a project server | 06:02 |
| shadeslayer | puller: install bootchart : sudo apt-get install bootchart | 06:02 |
| Ap0llo | rob_p its pretty complicated for me to say | 06:02 |
| domo | headrx: still upgrade | 06:03 |
| domo | lol | 06:03 |
| mobi-sheep | !gutsy | headrx | 06:03 |

| headrx | Gotcha | 06:03 |
| puller | shadeslayer: ok and then what | 06:03 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, also running in vbox just fine too :D | 06:03 |
| rob_p | Ap0llo, Well I don't know what to tell you then, if you can't even explain the issue. Good luck with it though! | 06:03 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: :| | 06:03 |
| Ap0llo | but for some reason when i log in i just get a background image and a mouse cursor | 06:03 |
| shadeslayer | puller: then reboot | 06:03 |
| Ap0llo | to show that something is running i print scren | 06:03 |
| Ap0llo | and when i save it says cannot access /home | 06:04 |
| Ap0llo | i can type the full error | 06:04 |
| puller | shadeslayer: then comeback in here and ask you for more help ? lol | 06:04 |
| rob_p | Ap0llo, Sounds like your user's home directory is not accessible. | 06:04 |
| soreau | Ap0llo: Did this just happen or is this the first time you installed linux? | 06:04 |
| rob_p | Ap0llo, What change(s) did you make recently that may have caused it? | 06:04 |
| Ap0llo | I did an alternative install since i installed via the alternative iso | 06:05 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, when was hal broke? I've been using karmic for weeks without problems | 06:05 |
| headrx | I really should have thought about installing something newer before i went through the time of setting all this shit up lol | 06:05 |
| shadeslayer | puller: no,then see /var/log/bootchart for the bootchart | 06:05 |
| Ap0llo | i run a 64 bit OS on my laptop which is a lenovo t400 | 06:05 |
| bazhang | please watch the language headrx | 06:05 |
| puller | shadeslayer: ok but how can i use that to help solve my poblem? | 06:05 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: it was broke about 2-3 weeks ago | 06:05 |
| Ap0llo | this was just a regular install and i think it has to do with the LILO | 06:05 |
| shadeslayer | puller: that will give us an idea what is taking so much time to load | 06:06 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, hmm, I must've gotten it right after that, alls good now | 06:06 |
| rob_p | Ap0llo, Why would you think that? | 06:06 |
| puller | shadeslayer: then we can fix it? | 06:06 |
| shadeslayer | puller: yes,we can fix it with bum | 06:06 |
| Ap0llo | rob_p its just an assumption since i cant find out what started the issue | 06:06 |
| puller | whats bum? | 06:06 |
| jpangamarca | @oenone http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-pixma_ip1980 | 06:06 |
| jpangamarca | it should work | 06:06 |
| shadeslayer | !info bum | puller | 06:06 |
| puller | shadeslayer: whats bum | 06:06 |
| ubottu | puller: bum (source: bum): graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-2 (jaunty), package size 81 kB, installed size 516 kB | 06:06 |
| Ap0llo | ive installed oses on this machine before so this is the first time ive come upon this | 06:06 |
| puller | shadeslayer: should i install that now too? | 06:07 |
| rob_p | Ap0llo, LILO is a bootloader. Your system is booting, correct? | 06:07 |
| shadeslayer | puller: sure,now or after a reboot | 06:07 |
| puller | shadeslayer: is it just sudo apt-get bum | 06:07 |
| Ap0llo | rob_p it boots up properly i believe, doesnt show a list at all | 06:07 |
| shadeslayer | puller: add install after apt-getr | 06:07 |
| Ap0llo | just says LILO booting Linux and then it boots up the OS | 06:08 |
| puller | shadeslayer: yea thats hwat i meant lol, ok i am abotu to reboot be back in a bit | 06:08 |
| shadeslayer | bazhang: theres a typo in #kubuntu at the end,could you please fix it?? :) | 06:08 |
| shadeslayer | puller: sure | 06:08 |
| puller | shadeslayer: thanks for your help thus far, very much appreciated | 06:08 |
| shadeslayer | bazhang: in the topic i mean | 06:08 |
| shadeslayer | puller: no problem | 06:08 |
| rob_p | Ap0llo, I'd investigate the issue of the home dir not being accessible. LILO is fine. | 06:09 |

| hosk | how do i access my phppgadmin installation over the internet? | 06:20 |
| shadeslayer | puller: remove splash from the kernel line and add rootflags=data=writeback to the end of the line | 06:21 |
| puller | shadeslayer: ok what sthat goign to do? | 06:21 |
| nickolaus | For some reason I am unable to view/access my windows computer over my network from my ubuntu computer. | 06:21 |
| shadeslayer | puller: so it looks like ro quiet vga=0x0365 rootflags=data=writeback , this will decrease the boottime | 06:21 |
| Threetimes | Ap0llo: I need the exact information in the output of that commnd. | 06:21 |
| puller | shades so remove this kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=5b312b96-6820-4336-b0c0-6b4786f50d4d ro quiet splash | 06:22 |

| puller | shades ok | 06:22 |
| puller | shadeslayer: so what exactly am i doing again | 06:22 |

| pwnguin | shadeslayer: ? | 06:27 |
| miguel1057 | I have a probloem with my wlan0 and ubuntu 9.04, i can connect to internet services that dont have encryption but not that have encryption, it show that i connected but when i try to ping the gateway or go to a website y dosnt work | 06:27 |

| shadeslayer | bleh.... | 06:27 |
| shadeslayer | pwnguin: sorry mate | 06:27 |

| miguel1057 | I have a probloem with my wlan0 and ubuntu 9.04, i can connect to internet services that dont have encryption but not that have encryption, it show that i connected but when i try to ping the gateway or go to a website it dosnt work | 06:27 |
| darlek | miguel1057, have you passed any keys to the wifi connection? wicd and other programs allow you to store the key value, as well from terminal the word 'key' is used to pass a value | 06:27 |
| puller | shadeslayer: ok | 06:27 |
| shadeslayer | puller: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 06:28 |
| randabis | I don't think ARM processors have multiple cores | 06:28 |
| pwnguin | puller: a quick check with "cat /proc/cpuinfo | 06:28 |
| miguel1057 | darlek, sure i put the encrytion key and it connects but i cant go to any website and i cant do ping to the gateway | 06:28 |
| pwnguin | randabis: well, if you count dedicated DSP cores, maybe | 06:28 |
| puller | shadeslayer: if i got two cores i am a dual correct? | 06:29 |
| shadeslayer | pwnguin: i kept putting cat /proc/cpu/info -_- | 06:29 |
| shadeslayer | puller: yep | 06:29 |
| darlek | miguel1057, the only other thing I can suggest is checking for a proxy and turn it off. I don't know how to test for that though | 06:29 |
| pwnguin | one caveat with cpuinfo is that hyperthreading will show up as dual core | 06:29 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : if you are using WEP, and you accidentally mistyped your wireless code i believe that there is no way of detecting that it was incorrectly typed, so it will just keep trying | 06:29 |
| miguel1057 | darlek, i dont know whats the problem but if i do the same steps from "windows" it works ok | 06:29 |
| pwnguin | when it's just the weaker sibling | 06:29 |
| nickolaus | For some reason I am unable to view/access my windows computer over my network from my ubuntu computer. All of my samba installs seem to be in order. any ideas? | 06:29 |

| puller | shadeslayer: brb | 06:30 |
| shadeslayer | puller: sure :)( | 06:30 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, after i put the key show me that i connected to the wireless network | 06:30 |
| shadeslayer | puller: you did enable readhead? | 06:30 |
| shadeslayer | ...... | 06:30 |
| === nabeel is now known as Guest93436 | ||
| Dev_u_pper | WEP will still show that it is connected, regardless if it is actually communicating. | 06:30 |
| miguel1057 | darlek, well i think the problem is the driver but ubuntu recognized it automatically when i installed it | 06:31 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : type this from the terminal : ifconfig | 06:31 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : and then check to see if your wireless adapter has an IP address. if it does not, let us know. | 06:31 |
| darlek | miguel1057, Dev_u_pper yes test it directly via the terminal via ifconfig, and see if an IP has been given to you | 06:31 |
| shadeslayer | hmm..amarok keeps crashing stating that kbuildsycoca4 crashed...any ideas?? | 06:31 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, im not in that place where was the problem but i did it and it was giving to my card dhcp address i tryied with manual address too but it didnt work | 06:32 |
| nickolaus | For some reason I am unable to view/access my windows computer over my network from my ubuntu computer. All of my samba installs seem to be in order. any ideas? | 06:32 |
| puller | shadeslayer: ok that all helped a little bit but its still taking way to long | 06:33 |
| miguel1057 | it was giving me 192.168.1.140 ip address but i was trying to make ping to 192.168.1.254 thats the gateway and never answer me | 06:33 |
| Dev_u_pper | miguel1057 : next time, check to see if you can correctly ping the gateway (usually 192.168.1.1 or something similar) - this is a good indicator if you are actually able to "talk" to the network you're trying to work with | 06:33 |
| Dev_u_pper | oh, i see | 06:33 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, i couldnt i tryied | 06:33 |
| shadeslayer | puller: ok now you have a new bootchart..please upload it | 06:33 |
| darlek | miguel1057, the programs to work with in terminal are iwconfig to set the card, including the key, dhclient wlan0 to get the IP, then ifconfig to verify the IP has been received | 06:33 |
| Ap0llo | Threetimes if anything i cant even see my menu bar or anything just the desktop and my mouse | 06:33 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : then either they have ping reply turned off (unlikely), or, you mistyped the WEP encryption key (assuming that it was WEP and not WPA(2)) | 06:34 |
| darlek | miguel1057, you're more likely to get the error messages back to the terminal | 06:34 |
| miguel1057 | darlek, i used iwconfig and it was showing the ssid connected it was ok same the ip address but i dont know what wasnt working good | 06:34 |
| === abchirk__ is now known as abchirk | ||
| gartral | Ap0llo: go over your base problem again | 06:34 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : the last possibility is signal strength. Make sure you are well within range, and that your wireless card is reported working for ubuntu linux | 06:35 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, i use wpa and wpa2 personal encryption i used it and i gots connected | 06:35 |

| shadeslayer | anyone on kde 4.3 b2 ?? | 06:35 |
| puller | shadeslayer: on boot i see all the text going by pretty fast then it all goes black for a long pause then text comes back and it finishes booting | 06:35 |
| Ap0llo | gartral i though it was a compiz issue being that i have compiz running but all i see is my desktop and mouse | 06:36 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, haven't got a chance to try it yet looks good though | 06:36 |
| losher | puller: I'd like to see your latest dmesg | 06:36 |
| puller | losher: ok | 06:36 |
| shadeslayer | puller: what does it say just before it goes black? | 06:36 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : excellent, then we can be sure that you were properly connected. What is your wireless card (make, model)? | 06:36 |
| JbCrash | hi..i just received ubuntu 9.04 .. i using 8 version... i want do clean installation..if i go vista just delete linux partition... . can i load my vista as normal ? | 06:37 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: yeah,its pretty good imho,but i cant log into kde...kbuildsycoca4 crashes everytime | 06:37 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, right know im working with my laptop and the same card but im in home and this wireless network dosnt have encryption it works good with ubuntu the problem was there with dsl and wpa wpa2 encryption | 06:37 |
| gartral | Ap0llo: "push" on the top of your screen with the mouse, ou might be able to pan up | 06:37 |
| puller | shadeslayer: i didnt really remeber it i can check if you want? | 06:37 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, suck, oh well it'll get there | 06:37 |
| puller | losher: http://pastebin.ca/1457453 | 06:37 |
| shadeslayer | puller: please do...till then ill analyze the chart | 06:38 |

| nickolaus | I am unable to view/share files from my windows computer to my ubuntu 9.04 computer | 06:38 |
| puller | ok shadeslayer and losher I will be back | 06:38 |
| Dev_u_pper | miguel1057: because you said that you successfully obtained an IP-address, it is safe to say that the card is working and that you were talking with the network. | 06:38 |
| Mooms | hey guys sorry to bother but i am stuck with bind, i wanted to know it was an obligation to specify the search domain to have the nslookup resolution on network clients working | 06:38 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: any experience on bootcharts? | 06:38 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, sure u then right but i could make ping to ip gateway hehe | 06:38 |
| gartral | Ap0llo: push your mouse up, way up, like you want it to go off the top of the monitor | 06:38 |
| shadeslayer | heh...i just noticed...he has boot time of 19 secs....what more does he want?? | 06:39 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : wait, you mean you could _not_ make ping? | 06:39 |
| headrx | i recently used ssh to upgrade my server (remotely) and now i cant ssh back in, says the host key has changed and that i need to add it to the known_hosts file to allowit... what do i add? | 06:39 |
| Ap0llo | gartral : i did that nothing happened | 06:39 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, right i was getting and ip address and netmask and dns but i could make ping to 192.168.1.254 it is the gateway | 06:40 |
| indira | hi | 06:40 |
| shadeslayer | !hi | indira | 06:40 |
| ubottu | indira: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:40 |
| gartral | Ap0llo: ok.. hit alt-f2.. does a run dialouge come up? | 06:40 |
| losher | headrx: doesn't it offer to add it automatically for you? | 06:40 |
| headrx | it does not | 06:40 |
| darlek | miguel1057, the dsl encryption for wpa wpa2 may be updated for vista for the card driver, but might be missing for the ubuntu driver. You might need to use ndiswrapper (it's in synaptic) to load and use the newer vista driver. | 06:40 |
| joekarl | shadeslayer, nope, sorry can't help in that dept. | 06:40 |
| Ap0llo | gartral: as in login:pass yes | 06:40 |
| shadeslayer | joekarl: ok.. | 06:41 |
| Cosmo2 | anyone know where .asoundrc is located? | 06:41 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, i tryied desabling and enabling the card and once i could make ping to the gatewat but only one packet the rest got lost | 06:41 |
| DigitalKiwi | Cosmo2: locate asoundrc | 06:41 |
| mobi-sheep | headrx: Remove your .ssh directory would be one solution -- but it's not the proper solution as it would remove your history of ssh keys per se. :) | 06:41 |
| darlek | miguel1057, this will depend on the card though. what make and model? ubuntu alternatives are madwifi instead of ath5k | 06:41 |
| gartral | Ap0llo: you.. shouldnt see a login:pass... are you in gnome now? | 06:41 |
| miguel1057 | darlek, where can i see the model? | 06:41 |
| darlek | miguel1057, lshw | 06:41 |
| Dev_u_pper | darlek: ubuntu uses ath5k by default | 06:41 |
| Ap0llo | gartral: yes im in gnome, im already logged in | 06:41 |
| losher | headrx: go into ~/.ssh/known_hosts and look for the line with the server's name on it. Delete just that line. Then retry the connection. ssh should then offer to add it automatically for you | 06:41 |
| headrx | Losher, ill try that, thanks | 06:42 |
| darlek | Dev_u_pper, correct. I had it working but I went to madwifi for greater range and usability, frankly the ath5k isn't ready for prime time for a lot of cards | 06:42 |
| puller | shadeslayer and losher i am back | 06:42 |
| shadeslayer | puller: i see that your boot time is 19 secs...what more do you want ?? :) | 06:43 |
| puller | shadeslayer: i think the last thing it said before it went black was starting system tools but i am not 100% sure cause it happened really fast | 06:43 |
| gartral | Ap0llo: that's very strange.. alt-f2 should bring up a box you can run programs from | 06:43 |
| puller | shadeslayer: it doesnt really boot in 19 seconds more liek a minute and a half | 06:43 |
| Ap0llo | gartral: sorry i pressed ctrl+alt+f2 | 06:43 |
| Ap0llo | gartral: i also did alt+f2 and nothing popped up | 06:43 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : what is the company of your wireless card, and the model number? | 06:43 |
| Dev_u_pper | (we need to know in order to recommend a driver that will work) | 06:43 |
| miguel1057 | Dev_u_pper, realtek | 06:44 |
| miguel1057 | darlek, i thingk it will be difficult to find the model with tha command hehe | 06:44 |
| shadeslayer | puller: but the boot chart indicates 19 secs | 06:44 |
| losher | puller: I see the same as before. A long pause from the disk (30 seconds this time, which is actually better) due to disk timeouts. | 06:44 |
| puller | want me to take a video of the boot? | 06:44 |
| opop | piggers! | 06:44 |
| Dev_u_pper | <miguel1057> : can you try this command: sudo lspci | grep -i realtek | 06:44 |
| shadeslayer | puller: oh... are you counting the time take to load the bios and the DE ? | 06:44 |
| opop | here come the pequeninos! aaaaah! | 06:44 |

| darlek | miguel1057, yes, ath5k was horrible in Ibex as well. That's when I used madwifi. However if your card is under ndiswrapper you can install it from synaptic. I'll check google if it matches your card | 06:48 |
| bazhang | sc_ you are in there already. speak english here only | 06:49 |
| Ap0llo | gartral: ok i logged in | 06:49 |

| miguel1057 | darlek, i didnt need to use ndiswrapper the driver was detected and installed automatically when i installed ubuntu on my laptop | 06:49 |
| Dev_u_pper | darlek :we cannot infer that miguel1057 even uses a wireless card with an atheros chipset. We need to know what card he has first. For all we know, he may have a new intel card. | 06:49 |

| darlek | Dev_u_pper, miguel1057 is you use lshw, it will probably show the card as Not Assigned or something like that. Thus showing if the card is in fact enabled. | 06:55 |

However these how-to's are from early 2008... whats the right way to do it? | 07:21 |
| alicia | please Myrtti , tell me why did my fried was muted | 07:21 |
| Myrtti | alicia: how about you two join #ubuntu-ops? | 07:21 |

| ``y7 | shuttleworth, richj, changing the dns ips worked. thx for the help. also, i was having issues earlier with ubuntu acting as my router/firewall (it kept dropping my ip every 20-24 hours and it wouldn't renew it until i called my ISP to have them reset my ONT (verizon fios)). could this have been the problem to that too? | 07:22 |

| NoWifi | tokyoahead: i usually just download the zip file and extract tomcat and under the tomcat/bin run startup.sh | 07:23 |
| richj | y7, you can usually renew an ip by changing the mac address of your router / nic, whatever is connected closest to the modem. | 07:23 |
| noUTF8atConsole | darlek, if you can read, then you can write, isn't this logical? | 07:23 |
| noUTF8atConsole | darlek, but I can't do neither one... | 07:24 |
| darlek | noUTF8atConsole, yes.. i don't generally use terminal, but in rails I can see my Japanese text okay. I use another gui editor so the anthy input system works that way | 07:25 |
| Myrtti | noUTF8atConsole: have you filed in a bug report? it might be a bug | 07:25 |
| noUTF8atConsole | darlek, I just want to know what packages do you have to console "data". kbd, console-tools, whatelse? | 07:25 |
| darlek | noUTF8atConsole, nothing special, just the gnome terminal as per default install, and the SCIM Setup from System Prefs, SCIM Setup etc | 07:26 |
| noUTF8atConsole | darlek, it's simple, but the information keeps in s e c r e t... | 07:26 |
| darlek | noUTF8atConsole, I use scite or the gnome editor and that works in both languages | 07:26 |
| noUTF8atConsole | darlek, man... I'm talking about 100% command line, shell, bash... | 07:26 |
| darlek | noUTF8atConsole, I understand the question | 07:27 |
| noUTF8atConsole | darlek, in xorg I can write in arabic if I wish. That's not the problem. | 07:27 |

| richj | allred, you will need to use those commands as a superuser, so add sudo before, eg, sudo rmmod module_name | 07:34 |
| richj | allred, what is the full problem>? | 07:34 |
| noUTF8atConsole | darlek, just forget about it... I'll install a minimal server config, than, MAYBE, I'l have my chars... | 07:34 |

| richj | darkest_night, the computer doesnt power off? | 07:52 |
| darkest_night | richj, nope | 07:52 |

| bazhang | !nfs | ``Cube | 08:13 |
| ubottu | ``Cube: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 08:13 |
| richj | allred, the line to start it depends on the wireless device name, is it wlan0? | 08:13 |
| richj | darkest_night, glad i could help :) | 08:13 |
| indus | gartral: what does it do? vpn? | 08:13 |
| allred | richj, ok, worked like a charm. and yes, it is wlan0. | 08:13 |

| === matthew is now known as Guest36560 | ||
| indus | gartral: iam behind a router etc , so i need to open ports i believe? and firewalls? | 08:14 |
| xyon3 | kitenej: alsamixer , if it's installed | 08:14 |
| gartral | indus: a virtual Personal Network allows you to see other computers over the internet as if they were connected by a hub, or switch | 08:14 |
| ``y7 | gartral, i'm going to see if it drops with another router. try that for a couple of days, because i've never had any issues with my old router. however, i do realize coincidences happen, so we'll see what goes down. | 08:14 |
| darlek | xyon3, try synaptic and ndiswrapper; this will use the microsoft/vista drivers for your modem if ubuntu isn't cooperating. Check your hardwards with lshw from terminal, then see if ndiswrapper is compatible with it via google ... read up on ndiswrapper as well | 08:14 |

| richj | brb | 08:16 |
| bazhang | ``Cube, sure if you set it up correctly using nfs or the like | 08:17 |
| andrew21 | hello! i am running openssh on my ubuntu box behind a router, and i have port 22 forwarded to the box. but i can't seem to connect using my external ip address | 08:17 |
| Myrtti | andrew21: have you tried connecting from outside your lan? | 08:17 |
| gartral | indus: only if you have an extreamly fast uplink to the internet at home, and your office networking system doesnt limit traffic *at all*.. then yes.. minimally | 08:17 |
| ``Cube | bazhang: alright. and its not like it's a totally extreme stunt that will require lots of tweaking? | 08:17 |
| bazhang | ``Cube, fairly straightforward and commonly done | 08:18 |
| ``Cube | bazhang: now, look at this. in my music library, lets say the one on rhythmbox, id like to appear just some songs if im on the go, but all of the music I have when im home. how does that sound | 08:18 |
| bazhang | ``Cube, then make some playlists | 08:18 |
| ``Cube | bazhang: my idea was that the library would DYNAMICALLY expand as soon as I enter my home network. get my idea? | 08:19 |

| Cry__Baby | has anyone gotten an iLBC supported softphone to work with ubuntu? | 08:20 |

| bazhang | ``Cube, sure, you should play around with it, as I have nowhere near that size library :) | 08:21 |

| allred | richj, it restarted itself when i did the command in a cmdline. but i added killall -q wpa_supplicant to the service stop script in suspend.d and it came back on almost immediately on resume. | 08:22 |
| un|matrix | does Jaunty have RLIMIT_RTPRIO ? | 08:22 |
| allred | richj, it being the wpa_supplicant service | 08:22 |
| ``Cube | bazhang: haha okay :) and how would that vpn work? | 08:22 |
| richj | allred, is that the desired result? | 08:23 |
| bazhang | ``Cube, nfs share would be preferable to vpn I would surmise | 08:23 |
| ``Cube | ah | 08:23 |
| allred | richj, pretty much, yeah. i figure that when the wi-fi re enables itself, it automatically calls wpa_supplicant, which creates errors when it suspends/resumes because wpa doesn't shut off. i think, anyway. | 08:24 |
| allred | richj, so we shut it off at suspend, and wifi calls it back up again upon resume. that's exactly what i wanted, actually. i'm loving it. thanks so much | 08:24 |
| richj | allred, awesome :) | 08:24 |

| DrBenway | I have a SBL soundcard with a front panel of inputs/outputs. The front panel has never worked in Ubuntu. How do I go about fixing this? | 09:18 |
| bazhang | MrBrotato, there are package managers (gui) to install stuff, so no need to use the command line at all | 09:18 |
| MrBrotato | Good news, I might have to check it out again | 09:18 |
| bazhang | MrBrotato, you dont want to double click stuff as that is from 3rd party sites, as opposed to the secure and checked Ubuntu software repositories | 09:19 |
| T-F-K | Hi all, I get an error on grub, I get this message : GRUB loading, please wait... Error 17 | 09:19 |

| confluency | Hello | 09:19 |
| l0nwlf_ | maximum resolution is changed to 4096X4096 | 09:19 |
| DrBenway | Hello | 09:19 |
| bazhang | MrBrotato, best to try the live cd and take for a test run before installing | 09:19 |
| richj | l0nwlf_, 4096 x 4096?? that cant be right? | 09:20 |
| MrBrotato | Oh I was wondering if there was something like that... It just totally boots from CD without having to install? | 09:20 |
| p2aa | is there any FS in ubuntu that supports full data checksumming? | 09:21 |
| bazhang | MrBrotato, yes, if you set in bios to look for cd first | 09:21 |
| confluency | I am trying to upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty using a DVD, and I would like to include updates from the network. I can only access the network through a proxy. The upgrader does not appear to be finding the proxy -- if I choose to use the network, it just hangs. I think I experienced this problem during the previous upgrade too, and never resolved it. | 09:21 |
| mib_mm2ftu5h | how can i get rid of kubuntu and all of its apps would sudo apt-get --purge autoremove kubuntu-desktop do it? | 09:21 |
| confluency | Has anyone experienced similar problems? | 09:21 |
| MrBrotato | Cool, checking it out | 09:21 |
| l0nwlf_ | richj: i was expecting it gives me 1900X1080 but since it was maximum so i thought maybe ,..however it seems odd | 09:21 |
| bazhang | !puregnome | mib_mm2ftu5h | 09:21 |
| ubottu | mib_mm2ftu5h: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 09:21 |
| richj | l0nwlf_, you can use xrandr -s to set the resolution | 09:21 |
| richj | l0nwlf_, check man xrandr | 09:21 |

| harahauk | guys, im looking for a music server implementation that will be able to stream music to other locations, like for example i want to be able to open playlists from my server at a friends house party or the like, it needs to be compatible with windoze media playes (wmp,vlc,whatever). any sugg? | 09:22 |
| chronographer | richj: does it work with nvidia? | 09:22 |
| bazhang | mib_mm2ftu5h, the kubuntu-desktop is a metapackage only | 09:22 |
| chronographer | harahauk: try mpd and icecast | 09:22 |
| chronographer | a little tricky to set up but works. | 09:22 |
| l0nwlf_ | richj: checking it (however i was used to the OS taking my resolution by default) | 09:22 |
| chronographer | Also use pitchfork for webUI | 09:22 |
| mib_mm2ftu5h | bazhang: well I already have the gnome desktop, just trying to get rid of kde, all its apps, and all its setting | 09:22 |
| harahauk | chronographer: awesome, another bloke also suggested icecast - thanks =) | 09:22 |
| bazhang | mib_mm2ftu5h, then that is the command (the bot above) you should run | 09:23 |
| DrBenway | I have a SBL soundcard with a front panel of inputs/outputs. The front panel has never worked in Ubuntu. How do I go about fixing this? | 09:23 |
| mib_mm2ftu5h | bazhang: yeah but since it was linked to all the programs and everything during install shouldnt it be linked and everythign during uninstall | 09:23 |
| chronographer | harahauk: get mpd working first, it's pretty easy, use sonata as a local frontend. Then edit /etc/mpd.conf to add the icecast bit. | 09:23 |
| richj | chronographer, ? | 09:23 |
| bazhang | mib_mm2ftu5h, no | 09:23 |

| rameshwo | if you don't want other users to view your file then .. you can set appropriat file permissions for other uses ( chmod ) . | 10:03 |
| Flannel | indus: What happens is when you use sudo, some files in your homedir are changed so they're owned by root. This can cause problems logging in sometimes. | 10:03 |
| indus | Flannel: hmm | 10:03 |
| indus | Flannel: can you tell me why that happens and which files ? | 10:04 |
| rameshwo | Cry__Baby : made some sense ? if not. i'm newbie. so other's may reply.. | 10:04 |
| Flannel | indus: It has to do with the way the environment is set up. I don't know the files off the top of my head. Point is, if you just always use gksu for graphical programs (or kdesu if you're on KDE), you'll always be OK. | 10:05 |
| Cry__Baby | rameshwo: :) ok thanks anyway | 10:05 |
| Flannel | indus: Even if you choose not to use it personally, please be sure to always recommend it that way in this channel. We are in the business of fixing people's problems, not creating new ones. | 10:05 |

| Nubuntuser | VMware Workstation was the trial version i was using...it's available for linux but not free | 10:37 |
| au | Hello everyone | 10:37 |
| Exterminans | Is there any way to reload the config in /etc/even.d without rebooting a server? | 10:39 |
| indus | Nubuntuser: yes even iam wanting an answer to it | 10:39 |
| indus | Nubuntuser: have been wanting to use VM on my pc for long | 10:39 |
| indus | anyone know of a free VM software | 10:40 |
| lclimber | Nubuntuser; well vmware server is pretty much the same as workstartion, the only difference is i think, that vmware workstation, lets you take multiple snapshots on a VM, whilevmware server doesnt | 10:40 |

| O__o | whats new in 9.04?? i am using 8.04 should i upgrade or just wait? | 10:42 |
| aprilhare | O__o: upgrade. | 10:43 |
| indus | anyone know of a free virtual machine emu | 10:43 |
| O__o | aprilhare, why? whats benefit? | 10:43 |
| aprilhare | indus: VirtualBox OSE | 10:43 |
| Gen2ly | ./configure --prefix-/usr the configure script is probably looking in /usr/local | 10:43 |
| Gen2ly | er, that is --prefix=/usr | 10:43 |
| aprilhare | O__o: too many to list. http://www.ubuntu.com/ spells them out prominently | 10:43 |
| indus | aprilhare: what kind of resources do a vm need | 10:44 |
| iamleneko | hey | 10:44 |
| O__o | anyone runs netbook here? | 10:44 |
| aprilhare | indus: http://virtualbox.org has more details (i think) | 10:44 |
| iamleneko | simple question, how do i check if 2 binary files have no difference | 10:44 |
| indus | yes checking now | 10:45 |
| O__o | does 9.04 have netbook remix version? | 10:45 |
| PointMan | xen is good | 10:45 |
| indus | now who can give me a free windows XP cd :D | 10:45 |
| gartral | O__o: yea, shoul | 10:45 |
| gartral | d | 10:45 |
| indus | aprilhare: could you give me some use cases on where and when a VM will be a good option | 10:46 |
| iamleneko | indus, you would probably need ram for your virtual machines | 10:46 |
| GhostWolf76 | hey ppl can anyone help me is there a program that works good to mount iso files?? | 10:46 |
| cankoy | iamleneko: checksum (md5sum, sha1sum, etc) | 10:46 |
| indus | GhostWolf76: what iso are you trying to mount? and where | 10:46 |
| iamleneko | cankoy, then i do diff on this outputs ? | 10:46 |
| GhostWolf76 | does it matter what and where indus?? | 10:47 |
| cankoy | iamleneko: diff is for text files | 10:47 |
| turneralex | hey im trying to install ubuntu on my sun v880 and the installer is hanging at the find harddrives part | 10:47 |
| turneralex | any ideas? | 10:47 |
| indus | GhostWolf76: yeah i dont understand your requirement | 10:47 |
| Crash_ | I'm using thunderbird in ubuntu 9.04. when i fetch mail all goes well but the messages at server are not marked read as i download it. any solution | 10:47 |
| GhostWolf76 | indus requirement for what?? i just want a simple program i can install on my kubuntu to mount files easily without using terminal | 10:48 |
| aprilhare | indus: when you want to run windows but don't want to reboot. when you're too chicken to format over entire partitions to try ubuntu 9.10. when ubuntu doesn't run something you need. etc. | 10:48 |
| aprilhare | tonnes of reasons | 10:48 |
| iamleneko | indus, i use vm on a day basis for checking rendering of websites we builds, on IE | 10:48 |
| Gen2ly | GhostWolf76: gmountiso | 10:48 |
| indus | iamleneko: dont you think installing a VM just to check one application is too much waste of resources?Doesnt ie run on wine? | 10:49 |
| rexha | @Crash try to re-install it or maybe you must configure again the Gmail settings | 10:49 |
| GhostWolf76 | Gen2ly thanks i think i hadf problems with gmount before but thats with ubuntu not kubuntu i'll give that a try thanks | 10:49 |
| indus | iamleneko: but 2 things iam itching to try are VM and VPN | 10:49 |
| iamleneko | indus, wine could have strange behavior and invalidate my verification, with vm there is no doubt about it | 10:49 |
| indus | iamleneko: hmm | 10:50 |
| gartral | indus: i'm trying to setup a vpn myself right now.. | 10:50 |
| indus | gartral: cool :) | 10:50 |
| indus | gartral: iam too lazy generally, but i have weekend coming up so maybe i try | 10:50 |
| rob_p | indus, I run a VPN in a VM! :-) | 10:50 |
| iamleneko | indus, i did use the wine way before, in fact, vm is better to me as i run it only when needed, the ressource is not a real problem | 10:50 |
| Caplain | hey rob_p | 10:51 |
| rob_p | Caplain, Hello. | 10:51 |
| indus | gartral: do i need any special hardware for vpn ? | 10:51 |
| indus | rob_p: :) cooool | 10:51 |
| rob_p | indus, No. | 10:51 |
| iceroot | indus: just a nic | 10:51 |
| Caplain | #gentoo seems dead | 10:51 |
| gartral | indus: nothing but your networking hardware | 10:51 |

| GhostWolf76 | Gen2ly i think i remember the problem with gmountiso.. which is the mount point is there a specific area i should mount it? | 10:53 |
| indus | iamleneko: i thought u need at least 1 gb ram to run windows on vm | 10:53 |
| Gen2ly | Not sure GhostWolf76, haven't used it in quite a bit. | 10:53 |

| GhostWolf76 | ok i normally use my main folder in home but when i hit mount it says its not empty.. | 10:54 |

| indus | the whole VM concept is so much brilliant ,i hear IBM used to use it long back internally and each partition on their drives was a VM of some sort | 10:54 |
| indus | iceroot: whats a nic? | 10:54 |
| iceroot | indus: also 3d card support is now working (not good but it is) | 10:54 |
| iamleneko | indus, if you have 1gb on your computer you have to keep ram for the main OS so you have to substract what your main OS need to know what your vm could have | 10:54 |
| iceroot | indus: Network Interface Card (NIC) | 10:55 |
| Gen2ly | GhostWolf76: I use bash script: http://pastebin.com/d1f928b7b | 10:55 |

| turneralex_ | so does #ubuntu | 10:55 |
| andersand | hello, i have ubuntu server 8.1 LTS with mail server installed. i need to setup a client for it, but is it POP or IMAPs type? How can i find out? | 10:55 |
| indus | iceroot: is that same as a LAN CARD? i mean the ones we have on the mobo to connect to the internet | 10:55 |
| GhostWolf76 | Gen2ly does that show how to mount using terminal? im trying not to do that way | 10:55 |
| iceroot | indus: yes | 10:55 |
| turneralex_ | andersand: Ohh mate just buy a copy of @mail | 10:56 |
| rexha | My computer doesnt support Visual Effects due to bug #363821 does this mean that i cannot play 3d games ????? | 10:56 |
| indus | iceroot: also ,by 3d support you mean.. you cant play games on a vm? | 10:56 |
| andersand | turneralex_, i don't understand | 10:56 |
| iceroot | indus: yes, new virtualbox has 3d card support (i think only non-free version) | 10:56 |
| Gen2ly | GhostWolf76: for the new, the bash script... may not be the best way :) | 10:56 |
| iamleneko | indus, i have 1gb on my computer and i don't think it is enough, right now without any vm started and the software i use at work only 13 Mo free | 10:56 |
| kora | hi, is there any convenient way to grab keycodes for the xmodmap? i have a thinkpad and want to map the "browser forwar/backwar" buttons to home/end with xmodmap. | 10:57 |
| indus | iamleneko: 13 mb free ? huh you using vista? | 10:57 |
| CSSnub | I want to setup sftp on my Ubuntu machine to allow access to an external HDD that is shared from a windows box on my LAN. So I can place files in a directory on the NTFS external drive on a different machine and people can access it by sftp through the ubuntu box. Does that sound possible/secure? | 10:57 |
| iamleneko | indus, if i run a windows vm, lot will be transfered in the swap, and the performance would not be great | 10:57 |
| andersand | surely there must be a command to find out what type of mail server i run | 10:57 |
| iamleneko | indus, ubuntu | 10:57 |
| rob_p | andersand, Depends on what server packages you installed for POP/IMAP support and if/how you have them configured. | 10:57 |
| iamleneko | ... | 10:57 |
| aprilhare | i want to run the game quadra under ubuntu. i couldn't find a ubuntu package so i downloaded the source. ran the configure script, got this: "configure: WARNING: X11 is required and could not be found!" | 10:57 |
| Gen2ly | GhostWolf76: have seen: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11577 ? | 10:57 |
| GhostWolf76 | Gen2ly well reason im saying i don't want to use temrinal cause i've just tried and well i don't think it worked but i remember gmountiso but i remember another program that let me mount through file manager but i have no idea right now | 10:57 |
| jrib | !compile > aprilhare | 10:57 |
| ubottu | aprilhare, please see my private message | 10:57 |
| iceroot | CSSnub: if the user can access the hdd, he can also access it with sftp | 10:57 |
| iceroot | CSSnub: sftp is only ssh with file-transfer | 10:58 |
| andersand | rob_p, i can read mail using "mail" command (it is Postfix and dovecot btw) | 10:58 |
| GhostWolf76 | Gen2ly no i didn't know there was anything like that normally i just google | 10:58 |
| iamleneko | indus, linux as a lightweight os is not always true | 10:58 |
| CSSnub | So how do I setup that share? Something to do with Samba? Just looking for something to read up on, I'm very new. | 10:58 |
| rob_p | andersand, Well dovecot supports both POP and IMAP(s) so the question is how you have it configured. | 10:58 |
| indus | iamleneko: i am not sure i understand... u only have ubuntu on your pc and 1gb aint enough? what software are you running | 10:58 |
| andersand | rob_p, what i want now is to read mail from another computer than loggin onto the server | 10:58 |
| iamleneko | indus, 1 firefox + 1 ide + gnome + evolution + xchat = byebye ram | 10:58 |
| iceroot | andersand: normaly its pop3, check your openports if there is imap running too | 10:58 |
| Cry__Baby | hello | 10:59 |
| Cry__Baby | When I boot Ubuntu, there is a screen that pops up which says, "sda_crypt", and I need to enter my password to load Ubuntu. Can anyone bypass this and gain access to my ubuntu? | 10:59 |
| andersand | rob_p, well thats what i m asking | 10:59 |
| iamleneko | indus, in fact firefox probably eat the most of the ram | 10:59 |
| indus | iamleneko: wait let me run all those and see | 10:59 |
| iamleneko | indus, the ide is geany which is pretty lightweight | 10:59 |
| indus | iamleneko: good cos i dont have an ide :P | 10:59 |
| indus | iamleneko: i think you have some problem, iam only using 400 mb total | 11:00 |
| andersand | netstat says i have both ports listening (pop and imaps) | 11:00 |
| CSSnub | iceroot: in order to share that external drive I want to install/setup samba yes? | 11:00 |
| GoNt1k | почему нема :/ | 11:00 |
| Nubuntuser | okay im downloading vmware server after reading up on it...had to register for key | 11:00 |
| === nicolas_ is now known as Guest76415 | ||
| iamleneko | indus, you need to use a little more firefox before it eat ram | 11:00 |
| nixiepixel | cry_baby - if someone has a LiveCD and knows what they are doing (and you allow booting to the CD) they can gain access to your system. | 11:00 |
| iceroot | CSSnub: the external drive is connected via usb? so you can access it with /media/your-hdd? | 11:01 |
| rob_p | andersand, Then I'd say you can probably connect with an appropriate client and retrieve mail. | 11:01 |
| andersand | surely there must be some config file... | 11:01 |
| indus | iamleneko: little more firefox what it means | 11:01 |
| Nubuntuser | in the meantime, how can i check my hotmail, gmail, and isp pop3 mail in one client? | 11:01 |
| CSSnub | iceroot: no it's eSata on a different computer on the LAN, a windows box | 11:01 |
| iamleneko | indus, i mean you need to browse stuff | 11:01 |
| iceroot | Nubuntuser:use thunderbird | 11:01 |
| rexha | Nubuntuser:they must support POP3 and SMTP | 11:01 |
| pascal | hey =) how can i set my keyboard into german oo ? ^^ | 11:01 |
| indus | iamleneko: i have 5 tabs open | 11:01 |
| rexha | hotmail doesnt support i gues | 11:01 |
| rexha | evolution and thunderbird are the clients | 11:02 |
| CSSnub | I want users to have access to that drive only, and a specific folder preferably - but it must be physically connected to a windows machine | 11:02 |

| jrib | cycrosism: again, where are you doing this exactly? | 11:57 |
| kaduk | indus, that why I am looking for backports | 11:57 |
| rob_p | c_korn, You could script a ping test or something similar. | 11:58 |
| cycrosism | System>Preferences>Display | 11:58 |
| indus | kaduk: she ? | 11:58 |
| kaduk | indus, I cant upgrade her system to jaunty since I am aboard and she has intel graphic | 11:58 |
| manumar | i have apache and i installed the moudele | 11:58 |
| kaduk | indus, yes my girlfriend laptop | 11:58 |
| alexis__ | rob_p, both the group as the user exist, and the command syntax is OK. If used with-G if implemented correctly, but what I need is to use-g to be the primary group | 11:58 |
| manumar | but it doesnt run | 11:58 |
| kaduk | indus, she is using Ubuntu interpid | 11:58 |
| indus | kaduk: ok i get it now | 11:58 |
| |Ryan | If I'm attempting to set a PCI wireless adapter for master mode and it says invalid argument, in the terminal, what does that mean? | 11:58 |

| manumar | aaaaa | 11:58 |
| indus | kaduk: can i give you a suggestion? Can you just try skype? | 11:58 |
| milo_ | bazhang: thanks | 11:58 |
| insmod | <l0nwlf_>or just load a real desktop with no sound manager and play like fluxbox | 11:59 |
| jrib | cycrosism: so you are never prompted for your password? | 11:59 |
| manumar | someone can help me please? | 11:59 |
| cycrosism | Nope jrib | 11:59 |
| indus | kaduk: also skype is encripted and it just gives you peace of mind | 11:59 |
| cycrosism | This is my first time trying Ubuntu really.. | 11:59 |
| c_korn | rob_p: I already tried the ping approach. but the problem is that ping does not exit after 2 seconds (for whatever reasons) when I am connected to my wireless network at university but not logged in with vpn | 11:59 |
| l0nwlf_ | insmod: installing fluxbox then :) | 11:59 |
| manumar | joder me cago en la puta | 12:00 |
| indus | milo_: does wireless work on windows with this laptop? | 12:00 |
| alexis__ | rob_p when the file / etc / passwd, the user is not the primary group that I want | 12:00 |
| manumar | ayudadme ya cojones | 12:00 |
| geirha | c_korn: Maybe netcat is better. netcat -w 2 -z google.com 80 && echo connected || echo not connected | 12:00 |
| bazhang | manumar, stop that | 12:00 |
| manumar | mariconazo de mierda que cojones haceis | 12:00 |
| manumar | bazhang? | 12:00 |
| kaduk | indus, skype is broken | 12:00 |
| milo_ | indus: yes. When I had windows before, it worked | 12:00 |
| milo_ | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/194250/ | 12:00 |
| indus | kaduk: what do you mean broken | 12:00 |
| rob_p | c_korn, Ping has options you should explore. With the correct switch, you should be able to do what you want. | 12:01 |
| bazhang | milo_, I see no wireless devices there either | 12:01 |
| milo_ | indus: but later on, it stopped working for some reasons i didn't know. Someone told me that my laptop doesn't have a wifi card | 12:01 |
| kaduk | indus, it does not work for me, since I have 64bit system and skype is using obsolete libasound API which was removed from recent version, that would mean installing additional 32bit library of libasound | 12:01 |
| manumar | I need help with perl2 apache module | 12:01 |
| mootz | milo_ : like i said not all wireless chipset is supported | 12:01 |
| bazhang | !ohmy | manumar | 12:01 |

| l0nwlf_ | i have gnome running , to switch to fluxbox , will it be okay to simply pkill gdm and switch to fluxbox | 12:01 |
| |Ryan | Can someone help me, again, please? | 12:01 |
| c_korn | rob_p: -w should do the trick. but it does not | 12:01 |
| indus | kaduk: i too have 64 bit and skype is fine | 12:02 |
| insmod | <l0nwlf_>it may still block dsp if alsa-oss is not installed | 12:02 |
| manumar | anyone know? | 12:02 |
| manumar | i will wait | 12:02 |
| c_korn | rob_p: brb. testing | 12:02 |
| kaduk | indus, asound version? | 12:02 |
| indus | kaduk: get skype from medibuntu | 12:02 |
| milo_ | bazhang:how do you know if there is a wireless device or not? | 12:02 |
| cycrosism | So jrib what sohuld I do? | 12:02 |
| linduxed | i booted ubuntu from a usb stick (made with the inbuilt ubuntu creator), and after a short time the progressbar during bootup dumps me into a busybox built-in shell | 12:02 |
| kaduk | indus, I am not ubuntu uer | 12:02 |
| bazhang | milo_, there is none that I can see | 12:02 |
| linduxed | i have no idea why | 12:02 |
| kaduk | indus, I am on Debian, she has Ubuntu 32bit | 12:02 |
| cycrosism | I made the root password the same as this accounts one jrib | 12:02 |
| linduxed | totally reproducible | 12:02 |
| rob_p | alexis__, Are you sure you are doing, "usermod -g <newgroup> <user>" (with a space between usermod and -g)? I only ask because when you posted, you didn't have a space between the command and the switch. | 12:03 |
| linduxed | every time i boot i get this | 12:03 |
| indus | kaduk: oh you cant install skype on ur system? | 12:03 |
| l0nwlf_ | insmod: installed alsa-oss too | 12:03 |
| milo_ | dazhang: damn | 12:03 |
| insmod | <milo_>looks loaded | 12:03 |
| milo_ | insmod: loaded? what? | 12:03 |
| jrib | cycrosism: it's probably a bug. I've never used that feature so I don't know. Setting a root password isn't necessary or recommonded and won't fix the issue. You could try running that app with sudo. Find out its name then run gksudo name_of_app | 12:03 |
| kaduk | indus, I can but it needs huge load of 32bit libraries and compiling older version of libasound | 12:03 |
| insmod | <l0nwlf_>killa all sound apps or reboot easier then use flux and go! | 12:04 |
| cycrosism | jrib, how do i find out what the app is called? | 12:04 |
| indus | kaduk: so now you want to install ekiga 3.0.2 on your girlfriends system am i correct? | 12:04 |
| jrib | cycrosism: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu | 12:04 |
| insmod | <milo_>the card | 12:04 |
| milo_ | mootz: so i can't use wireless even with the appropriate drivers? | 12:04 |
| kaduk | indus, she has 3.0.2, we want 3.2. | 12:04 |
| l0nwlf_ | insmod: ok , thanks | 12:04 |
| indus | kaduk: cos you have 3.2? | 12:04 |
| manumar | someone know how to run great libapache2-mod-perl2? | 12:04 |
| insmod | <milo_>sure looks like it is working | 12:05 |
| milo_ | insmod: any good suggestion to get it working? | 12:05 |
| kaduk | indus, indeed, there are bug fixes | 12:05 |
| kaduk | indus, for example stoping video with certain codecs we want to use | 12:05 |
| insmod | <milo_>what does ifconfig say | 12:05 |
| kaduk | indus, which gives better quality | 12:05 |
| milo_ | insmod: wait a minute i will paste it | 12:05 |
| alexis__ | rob_p, if the switch is going to run it separately (usermod -g) | 12:05 |
| rob_p | alexis__, Huh? | 12:06 |
| linduxed | i booted ubuntu from a usb stick (made with the inbuilt ubuntu creator), and after a short time the progressbar during bootup dumps me into a busybox built-in shell | 12:06 |
| indus | kaduk: so you mean its not possible to install lates t version on intrepid? | 12:06 |
| |Ryan | How can I install drivers for m intel PCI card? | 12:06 |
| |Ryan | My* | 12:06 |
| milo_ | insmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/194256/ | 12:06 |
| mootz | milo_ : well maybe yes.. | 12:06 |
| kaduk | indus, I could not find it, its only available for juanty, but I dont dare to upgrade her desktop since she has Intel gpu | 12:06 |
| rob_p | alexis__, Just try it: usermod -g newgroup user | 12:06 |
| indus | kaduk: ya some bug with intel i heard | 12:07 |
| kaduk | indus, and I cant fix stuff remotely | 12:07 |
| cycrosism | jrib, the name of the app is just display | 12:07 |
| insmod | <milo_>looks good surf | 12:07 |
| milo_ | mootz: hmmm... | 12:07 |
| bazhang | milo_, that looks like a ralink card | 12:07 |
| jrib | cycrosism: I meant the command for it | 12:07 |
| indus | kaduk: why dont you install the jaunty version on intrepid? it should be fine no? | 12:07 |
| bazhang | milo_, what does sudo dhclient ra0 return (in terminal) | 12:08 |
| cycrosism | jrib, i did gksudo display | 12:08 |
| cycrosism | and nothing | 12:08 |
| insmod | <bazhang>chipset | 12:08 |
| kaduk | indus, ekiga depends on many packages | 12:08 |
| jrib | cycrosism: I mean, it's probably not display | 12:08 |
| indus | kaduk: hmm but i think the packages are all available individually from the site | 12:08 |
| bazhang | indus, kaduk not a good idea to mix repos/packages from different versions of Ubuntu | 12:08 |
| cycrosism | jrib, gnome-display-properties | 12:08 |
| jrib | cycrosism: gnome-display-properties, yes | 12:08 |
| kaduk | bazhang, indeed | 12:08 |
| drurew | drurew: could someone take a look at this and hit me with ideas of how this could happen ? thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/194251/ | 12:08 |
| indus | kaduk: bazhang:agreed | 12:08 |
| insmod | <bazhang> just right the /etc/network/interfaces he is done | 12:08 |
| alexis__ | rob_p, as you said earlier, the order is executed sudo usermod-G newgroup user | 12:09 |
| kaduk | indus, I would dare to do that on Debian, but not on Ubuntu | 12:09 |
| kaduk | I dont know Ubuntu | 12:09 |
| bazhang | milo_, do you have a wifi hotspot to test it on | 12:09 |
| indus | kaduk: so what other options do you have now | 12:09 |
| jrib | drurew: ubuntu version? | 12:09 |
| milo_ | insmod - bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/194260/ | 12:09 |
| insmod | milo: just right the /etc/network/interfaces he is done | 12:09 |
| kaduk | indus, finding 3.2.x ekiga backports for Ubuntu interpid | 12:09 |
| bazhang | kaduk, any reason to get the higher version, apart from the bigger number? | 12:09 |
| kaduk | indus, building from source | 12:09 |
| indus | kaduk: that depends if anyone backported it yet | 12:09 |
| kaduk | bazhang, yes codec bug fixes | 12:10 |
| drurew | jrib:9.04 | 12:10 |
| rob_p | alexis__, No. I did not say that! First, it's a lower case, "g" and second, there's supposed to be a space between the command and the switch! | 12:10 |
| indus | kaduk: you will build it from source and your gf will use it how? | 12:10 |
| c_korn | rob_p: this works better. thanks | 12:10 |
| insmod | milo: ya it is up just not started | 12:10 |
| ajah | how to resize window of mplayer trough the terminal | 12:10 |
| jrib | drurew: there was a bug like that but it was fixed before release. I would check the bug tracker for ideas until someone else chimes in | 12:10 |
| milo_ | bazhang: like a wifi usb stick? | 12:10 |
| insmod | milo: works great | 12:10 |
| jrib | ajah: check the -geometry switch in « man mplayer » | 12:10 |
| kaduk | indus, ? | 12:11 |
| bazhang | milo_, it seems there is a lease, though with the error may not be connected | 12:11 |
| cycrosism | jrib, Thank you for your help. Much appreciated | 12:11 |
| alexis__ | rob_p, sorry, it's just like I'm doing (usermod -g newgroup user) | 12:11 |
| ajah | jrib k | 12:11 |
| insmod | <bazhang> hmm i just said that | 12:11 |
| indus | milo_: i mean will your gf install it from her end? | 12:11 |
| patrik | Hi, I wanna make a bootable usb stick from a windows xp iso. usb-creator doesn't work with windows isos. Any suggestions? | 12:11 |
| indus | kaduk: sorry i dont think i can do much here | 12:11 |
| rob_p | alexis__, Yup. That's the correct syntax. | 12:11 |
| bazhang | patrik, try ##windows for that | 12:12 |
| drurew | patrik: it dont have the same linux installer so it wont be recognised as a bootable image | 12:12 |
| rob_p | !spoonfeed | 12:12 |
| insmod | <bazhang> ifconfig ra0 down then up or right the interfaces done! | 12:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about spoonfeed | 12:12 |
| rob_p | dang! | 12:12 |
| kaduk | indus, it would be great if someone could make backport, since 2.0.2 or 3.0.2 is really ancient version. | 12:12 |
| bazhang | insmod, should do | 12:12 |
| milo_ | indus: i don't understand | 12:12 |
| bazhang | robp ?? | 12:12 |
| rob_p | bazhang, Just curious, that's all. :-) | 12:13 |
| patrik | bazhang: Well, the problem is that I don't have a bootable windows system so I need to do it from Ubuntu. | 12:13 |
| indus | milo_: oops sorr y was meant for kaduk | 12:13 |
| bazhang | rob_p, please /msg ubottu for such jokes | 12:13 |
| indus | milo_: bazhang: so he needs to start networking now? | 12:14 |
| bazhang | patrik, usb-creator won't recognize it | 12:14 |
| patrik | bazhang: nope :( | 12:14 |
| indus | /etc/init.d/networking start? | 12:14 |
| milo_ | insmod-bazhang-indus: in windows, when i used "Fn and F10" the wireless sign used to flash, but since i installed ubuntu, it doesn't anymore | 12:14 |
| patrik | bazhang: And just using dd doesn't seem to work | 12:14 |
| alexis__ | rob_p, I still returning usermod: no change | 12:14 |
| bazhang | milo_, do you have the wifi switch set to off? | 12:14 |

| milo_ | indus: bazhang: nope i didn't install any driver so far | 12:16 |
| bazhang | indus, the card is recognized and gets a lease, but there is an error when getting the lease | 12:17 |
| bazhang | milo_, you don't need to | 12:17 |
| indus | bazhang: which is the card? | 12:17 |

| geirha | koichirose: nautilus is responsible for drawing the desktop, so it sounds like it failed to start the desktop-part when it got restarted. Try restarting it manually with "killall nautilus" | 13:28 |

| geirha | koichirose: Open ~/.xsession-errors in an editor. See if you see any error messages from nautilus | 13:33 |
| ziroday | jamiewan: nearly all HP printers work, they are a safe bet | 13:33 |
| ziroday | jamiewan: usually its more helpful to find a printer you want to buy, and then seeing how compatible it is :) | 13:34 |
| jamiewan | thank you ziroday, is it true that if OS listed is mac that it will work with linux | 13:34 |
| ziroday | jamiewan: not that I know of | 13:34 |

| zetheroo | ziroday: I am inquiring on behalf of my father-in-law who has this card | 13:38 |
| legend2440 | is ther an up to date list of video cards that work with Jaunty. ever since the upgrade from xserver 1.5 to 1.6 my radeon 9600 tv out has stopped working | 13:38 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: and he wants to upgrade to 9.04 ... but is under the impression that the card is not supported | 13:38 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: the open source radeon driver supports that card, doing the upgrade will automagically migrate him to that | 13:38 |
| exodus_ms | !hardware | 13:38 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 13:38 |
| legend2440 | exodus_ms: thanks | 13:39 |
| Boohbah | turneralex: which version? i don't think recent releases support sparc | 13:39 |
| ziroday | zetheroo: he is correct that the closed source fglrx driver no longer supports that card, but the open source radeon driver does | 13:39 |
| klenix | how to exploring file inside Nokia 6630 which connected via usb to pc with ubuntu Jaunty. | 13:39 |
| ziroday | legend2440: that card should be supported by the -radeon driver | 13:39 |
| zetheroo | ziroday: and can Desktop Effects work with the os driver? | 13:39 |
| turneralex | Boohbah: not to usre | 13:39 |

| Boohbah | m1chael: what version of ubuntu? | 13:43 |
| klenix | Myrtti: there is no option on this phone. but on my another hp, G502-SE there is option. | 13:43 |
| legend2440 | ziroday: yes i agree it should. tv out works great with intrepid and fglrx but with Jaunty and the radeon drivers tv out just flips like a vertical hold problem. that happened with intrepid also but i was able to fix it with Option TvStandard ntsc in xorg.conf. but nothing fixes it with Jaunty | 13:43 |
| aly | zetheroo, yeah | 13:43 |
| sipior | m1chael: depends on whether you wanted to use your machine as a mail server or not, i imagine :-) | 13:43 |
| ziroday | legend2440: hmm I don't know about that specific problem. #radeon might | 13:43 |
| legend2440 | ziroday: ok thanks | 13:44 |

| geirha | koichirose: (sorry, was afk a bit) Might be an idea to check .xsession-errors right after the next time it happens then. And possibly add it to a bug report. | 13:55 |

| Ravn1 | hi ppl, I managed to do something stupid, I wanted to test wicd instead of networkManager, so I installed it. This of course removed nm, so the network connection broke down. The it turned out wicd does not work (can not connect to wired or wireless networks). But now I can't get the network up again, so now I can not reinstall nm. How do I get the network up w.o. nm? | 13:57 |
| geirha | ph|ber: Isn't there an Edit -> Preferences option in pidgin? It's probably an option in there somewhere | 13:58 |
| ph|ber | geirha: its only sounds. | 13:58 |
| SqueakyNeb | Hey hey everyone | 13:58 |
| adam7 | Ravn1: did you make sure to set the correct interfaces in the preferences in wicd? | 13:58 |
| zarnick | and this goes as well with window decorations | 13:58 |
| derspankster | Ravn1, I run WICD without issue, when you install it, it removes NM by default | 13:58 |
| aly | Ravn1, wicd just work fine | 13:59 |
| zarnick | any help? | 13:59 |
| Ravn1 | no, not for me, I would now like to know how to get ethernet with dhcp up again from command line or something | 13:59 |
| sipior | Ravn1: do you normally get an ip addredd via dhcp? you can try "sudo dhclient <interface>". | 13:59 |
| adam7 | Ravn1: plug the ethernet cable in and just run sudo dhclient | 14:00 |
| bazhang | Ravn1, sudo dhclient eth0 | 14:00 |
| geirha | ph|ber: Hm, then it's probably a plugin that does those notifications, so look at the plugins and try to disable whichever looks like the best candidate | 14:00 |
| derspankster | The only issue I've had with WICD is that I had to manually enter my server's IP in my hosts file to browse the network. | 14:00 |
| electroweak | jamiewan, when I tried that it says something like my run nvidia-xconfig as root. I did but nothing happens | 14:00 |
| ph|ber | ahh.. yeop.. thanks | 14:00 |
| adam7 | Ravn1: but it might be worth checking the interface settings in wicd's preferences | 14:00 |

| indus | bye | 14:02 |
| adam7 | SqueakyNeb: Atheros cards can | 14:02 |
| derspankster | sipior: yes, that is true, I was just stating that WICD does works and illustrated the one issue I had with it and how I resolved it. | 14:02 |
| sipior | Ravn1: you're using sudo, yes? | 14:02 |
| adam7 | Ravn1: chances are that is why wicd doesn't work also | 14:02 |
| bazhang | Ravn1, what does ifconfig show | 14:02 |
| Domnic | SqueakyNeb: can u help me ? | 14:02 |
| SqueakyNeb | adam7, is that a brand, or just a type of card? i'm pretty sure I have intel wireless PRO or something... | 14:03 |
| SqueakyNeb | Domnic, whats ya problem? | 14:03 |
| adam7 | SqueakyNeb: it's a type of chipset | 14:03 |
| Domnic | I want to have all the libraries that are required for Kubuntu 9.04 | 14:03 |
| SqueakyNeb | adam7, is it possible that a intel based laptop could do it? | 14:03 |
| Ravn1 | bazhang: eth0 does not have and IP, but when I did dhclient eth0 I get and IP it says... just the error after | 14:03 |
| adam7 | SqueakyNeb: if you want to make an access point, it's probably easier to buy a Linksys WRT54GL or something that can run custom firmware and use that | 14:03 |

| aly | anyone help me? | 14:04 |

| electroweak | jamiewan, nvidia fx5200. I don't have to use that driver I just need 1024x768 resolution | 14:06 |
| aly | sipior, if it can help, there is also, when i do Ctrl + Alt + F1, a message telling me that scim couldn't load X11 fonts, or something like that | 14:07 |
| adam7 | Ravn1: sudo ifconfig eth0 my.ip.goes.here netmask my.net.mask.here broadcast my.broad.cast.here | 14:07 |
| sipior | aly: have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, see if there are any obvious errors | 14:07 |
| adam7 | Ravn1: obviously, replace the appropriate my.something.goes.here stuff with IPs | 14:07 |
| SqueakyNeb | adam7, does static IP only need to be set locally, or on the router, or both? | 14:07 |

| electroweak | derspankster, yes I want to make it 1024x768 | 14:13 |
| derspankster | electroweak, from terminal sudo displayconfig-gtk | 14:14 |
| Domnic | Pici thanx a lottttttttttttttttttttt | 14:14 |
| SqueakyNeb | Pici, Something like that, but with a dependancies wizard of some sort | 14:14 |
| richj | electroweak, does 1024x768 show up in cmdline: xrandr | 14:14 |
| sipior | aly: sounds like you may have a broken gnome installation. | 14:14 |
| esde | Ubuntu netbook remix 9.04, how do i "Force" wireless to be on. There is an active network in range, and i want to connect to it. But the wlan0 does not list any networks with "iwlist wlan0 scan". | 14:14 |
| cadu | hey guys | 14:14 |
| cadu | i want a small window manager that supports all the standards freedesktop has been setting these days | 14:15 |
| electroweak | richj, no highest is 800x600 | 14:15 |
| Pici | SqueakyNeb: That does do dependencies... | 14:15 |
| cadu | i would like something as cool and fast/small as WMii but with proper stuff like y'know, System Tray and other stuff that's pretty standard everywhere else | 14:15 |
| electroweak | richj, everything was fine until this morning when I turn it on this morning everything was messed up | 14:15 |
| SqueakyNeb | Pici, Really? I didn't get told about any before downloading things... hmm. | 14:15 |
| richj | electroweak, did you install any updates? | 14:16 |
| rickard_ | I have downloaded a utililty.. "soapui" and when I extract the content i have a bin folder with .sh filer... running them using ./soapui.sh doesnt work.. what shall I do? | 14:16 |
| cadu | tiling window manager or not, i would like an wmii or blackbox (minimal) window manager with support for standards | 14:16 |
| Domnic | Oh it works great thanx again pici | 14:16 |
| electroweak | richj, my brother says he did last night | 14:16 |
| sipior | rickard_: make it executable via "chmod u+x ..." | 14:16 |
| sipior | rickard_: or just run it as "sh soapui,sh" | 14:17 |
| richj | electroweak, almost definately a xorg 1.6 causing the problem | 14:17 |
| electroweak | richj, is there a way to fix it | 14:17 |
| esde | Ubuntu netbook remix 9.04, how do i "Force" wireless to be on. There is an active network in range, and i want to connect to it. But the wlan0 does not list any networks with "iwlist wlan0 scan". | 14:17 |
| richj | electroweak, I think an xorg.conf edit should work | 14:17 |
| richj | can you paste bin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:18 |
| rickard_ | sipior: Now it complains that java not found... I have java installed.. shall it be installed in that folder? | 14:18 |
| esde | >_> | 14:19 |
| sipior | rickard_: no, it probably just isn't bright about looking for java. are you sure there's no package for what you want via ubuntu? might save you a deal of trouble. | 14:19 |
| electroweak | richj, in xorg.conf there are just "configured video device" "configured monitor" and stuff like that | 14:19 |
| esde | so no help? | 14:19 |
| richj | is there a modline entry? | 14:19 |
| rickard_ | sipior: there is no package.. :( | 14:20 |
| Pici | !patience | esde | 14:20 |
| ubottu | esde: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 14:20 |
| aly | sipior, how do i reinstall gnome? | 14:20 |
| esde | Pici: lol | 14:20 |
| richj | electroweak, is there a modline entry under monitor section | 14:20 |
| aly | sipior, i'm ready to do whatever it takes | 14:20 |
| derspankster | my bad, apparently displayconfig-gtk doesn't exist in Jaunty | 14:21 |
| sipior | aly: might try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome" | 14:21 |
| electroweak | richj, nope just "identifier configured monitor" | 14:21 |
| sipior | aly: hopefully that will get you back to the status quo ante. | 14:21 |
| aly | sipior, i'll try it and tell you | 14:21 |

| richj | electroweak, on one line. cmdline: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:24 |
| bazhang | !gksudo | richj electroweak | 14:24 |

| SiVA_ | hi | 14:48 |
| SiVA_ | when my sound all of a sudden stops working, what can I do short of restarting the computer? Any process I can kill? | 14:48 |
| bcurtiswx-mini | freakynl: have you tried using "connect to server" | 14:48 |
| freakynl | bcurtiswx-mini: ? needs to be exposed through website so other can download confidential files from here. | 14:48 |
| bcurtiswx-mini | freaknyl: looked into an ftp server? | 14:49 |
| freakynl | bcurtiswx-mini: or ftp, but ftp ... isn't really easy and far from secure. unless it's sftp or ftps but that usually requires the other side to install a client | 14:49 |
| slava_dp | SiVA_, modprobe -r your_module_for_sound && modprobe it back :) should do the job. | 14:49 |
| esde | bazhang, its weird how it was there and not working, and now it isnt there at all. | 14:49 |
| hikenboot | hello can anyone tell me if Ubuntu Server 9.1 has a firewall installed by default | 14:50 |
| bazhang | modprobe -r ath5k acer_wmi; modprobe ath5k esde what does that output (if anything) | 14:50 |
| bcurtiswx-mini | freaknyl: i am not sure entirely, but most other apps would require the other user to download a client | 14:50 |
| richj | freaky_t, 1 option is to use xampp webserver with sql database of users and a php script to provide the functionality | 14:50 |
| freakynl | bcurtiswx-mini: and it should be configurable by users i'm afraid | 14:50 |
| esde | esde@esde-laptop:~$ modprobe -r ath5k acer_wm | 14:50 |

| FloodBot3 | esde: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:51 |
| esde | oh hush FloodBot1 | 14:51 |
| bazhang | esde, preface with sudo sorry | 14:51 |
| esde | ok | 14:51 |
| freakynl | bcurtiswx-mini: nah, there are several companies offering such functions through their website, but most of them start charging for files larger than x mb and they don't actually want to trust such services here either. it's not like you can see how they secure stuff, mostly you don't even know who maintains it | 14:51 |
| esde | bazhang, it just goes to a new line. no output. | 14:52 |
| bazhang | sudo modprobe -r ath5k acer_wmi; modprobe ath5k esde | 14:52 |
| bazhang | esde, wmi not wm | 14:52 |
| bcurtiswx-mini | freaknyl: hmm, usually those sites list what programs they use.. im guessing some may be windows only... but if you can find one that in the ubuntu repositories then i'd fly with that | 14:52 |

| freakynl | bcurtiswx-mini: well i can find several on hotscripts or something, but it would be nicest if the server has as little maintenance as necessary and can just apt-get upgrade on it's own once a week or something | 14:54 |
| bazhang | milo_, ubuntu or kubuntu | 14:54 |

| milo_ | bazhang: thanks | 14:55 |
| bazhang | esde, hoped that was ifconfig :) | 14:55 |
| drone | sipior: I already did and I sym linked them to a directory according to the directions in the README file that came with the drivers. Should I try to just reinstall them ? | 14:55 |
| esde | oh let me do that | 14:55 |
| bazhang | milo_, yw | 14:55 |
| esde | bazhang, all i get is eth0 and lo | 14:56 |

| esde | this is why i have Netbook Remix | 14:57 |

| bazhang | esde, that is about the netbook remix | 14:57 |
| slava_dp | SiVA_, lsmod then look for anything named snd* | 14:57 |
| drone | sipior: it told me to create a /usr/src/linux dir and then linux the contents of the linux-headers dir to that | 14:57 |
| drone | sipior: whoops | 14:58 |
| baker_GR | if im connected to two different networks, one though ethernet and one through wifi, how can i choose which of this is to download for example through internet? | 14:58 |
| SiVA_ | slava_dp: snd_hda_intel ? | 14:58 |
| SiVA_ | there are a bunch | 14:58 |
| slava_dp | SiVA_, correct. | 14:58 |

| hemanth | how to get the name of the usb media which is mounted in a script ? | 14:58 |

| SiVA_ | slava_dp: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. | 15:00 |
| Heikki123 | is there something like raid but the files are not striped but rather one file after another? I need it in storing a big file on a fat filesystem and i need to be able to access the file from there | 15:00 |
| SiVA_ | no sound programs open | 15:00 |
| rameshwo | .. which one's better ?8.10 or 9.04 if first one then i won't upgrade. it latter one then i'll upgrade.. so.. help me | 15:00 |
| drone | sipior: Ah, I found them, but they aren't in the directory that the makefile wants. Should I just link them there? | 15:00 |
| slava_dp | rameshwo, slackware | 15:00 |
| richj | electroweak, you need a modline correct for your monitor | 15:00 |
| bazhang | esde, take a look in hardware drivers and be sure the atheros alternative driver is enabled | 15:00 |
| sipior | drone: or copy them directly, sure | 15:00 |
| rameshwo | slava_dp : slackware is better you mean ??? | 15:01 |
| slava_dp | rameshwo, 'course it is. | 15:01 |
| Pici | slava_dp: Please stop. | 15:01 |
| drone | sipior: Alrighty, I'm gonna give it a shot. thank you very much ! :) | 15:01 |
| sipior | Heikki123: what happens when you modify the files on such a filesystem? | 15:01 |
| baker_GR | mdm, i suppose icant use both of them.. to compine ethernet and wifi gateways for faster download | 15:01 |
| rameshwo | slava_dp : i heardit's for technical , more expert ones ?? | 15:01 |
| Pici | rameshwo: 9.04 is newer than 8.10 | 15:01 |
| sipior | drone: no trouble, good luck with the compile. | 15:01 |
| esde | No Proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 15:02 |
| rameshwo | Pici : yes newer but i also heard it had many bugs.... | 15:02 |
| mdm | baker_GR: you can, its called bonding. Not a good idea to do with dissimilar network devices tho. it also takes configuration on the thing those devices are connected to | 15:02 |
| richj | electroweak, try Modeline "1024x768" 67.48 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 797 | 15:02 |
| Heikki123 | sipior: what do you mean? nothing special? You know a raid device, what happens when you modify a file there? | 15:02 |
| Pici | rameshwo: All releases have some amount of bugs, its up to you to decide whether they may affect you or not. | 15:02 |
| Heikki123 | sipior: so probably i need a file that contains a filesysten | 15:02 |
| rameshwo | i'm a simple desktop user just learning..... so i think it won't affect me ... ? | 15:03 |
| Heikki123 | is linear raid what i need here? if i put raid0, it will be slow because the 2 files are accessed same time | 15:03 |
| Pici | rameshwo: So try it out then. | 15:03 |
| rameshwo | Pici: sure.... | 15:03 |
| esde | ok, so i removed the module, but it wont reinsert, thats the problem! | 15:03 |
| amnezja | Witam | 15:03 |
| amnezja | Hey hi Hello | 15:03 |
| sipior | Heikki123: my point is, as soon as you start modifying the file on disk, you'd have a problem with fragmentation. or rather, you'd require zero fragmentation, which would make writes extremely slow. | 15:04 |

| esde | yes | 15:08 |
| esde | and i have been playing with it to see which is on and off, but its hard to tell | 15:09 |
| electroweak | guys when I activate the nvidia restricted driver I stuck with 640x480 when I deactivate it I get 800x600 but I need 1024x768 what should I do any help | 15:09 |
| bazhang | esde, you may need to toggle it ; should it be switched to 'off' at boot , then it would explain the current situation | 15:09 |
| esde | i just did modprobe ath5k and it "worked". | 15:10 |
| esde | but | 15:10 |
| esde | i dont have any wireless extensions. | 15:10 |
| === maximo is now known as Maximo | ||
| rameshwo | and Xubuntu ? that's also ubuntu with X system ? | 15:10 |
| sipior | esde: does lsmod | grep ath5k show anything? | 15:10 |
| derspankster | electroweak, I assume you have Nvidia X Server Settings installed? | 15:10 |
| esde | lemme check | 15:10 |
| sipior | rameshwo: it uses xfce instead | 15:10 |
| berot3 | hi, annyoning problem: i lost my bash-auto-completition, but dont know how/why... for example when i want to type: "sudo apti..." it wont complete when pressing TAB. instead it gives me the files in the directory... what to do? | 15:10 |
| sipior | rameshwo: well, instead of gnome, i mean. | 15:11 |
| electroweak | derspankster, yes I have that installed | 15:11 |
| rameshwo | sipior: i got u... | 15:11 |
| esde | ath5k, mac80211, led_class, cfg80211. | 15:11 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, xfce4 for xubuntu kde for kubuntu gnome for ubuntu; you choose which session when you are at login screen, if you have them installed | 15:11 |
| derspankster | electroweak, and you cannot detect your screen from there? | 15:11 |
| rameshwo | bazhang :..ok.. | 15:11 |
| electroweak | derspankster, nope I can't do anything on that screen | 15:11 |
| Heikki123 | sipior: i'm trying to backup a filesystem to a fat device, and i need to be able to at least read it later | 15:12 |
| bazhang | esde, I would guess in your fiddling that you toggled it to off, thus the need to restart it with it toggled to on | 15:12 |
| rameshwo | can i uninstall complete X window system.???... if i did then all thing will be command_line ??? | 15:12 |
| derspankster | electroweak, you cannot acquire EDID for your monitor? | 15:12 |
| gastly | rameshwo, yup | 15:12 |
| bazhang | rameshwo, sure you can | 15:12 |
| esde | erm, okay i will restart two times. once now, then toggle, then once more. if it still doesnt work i wil be back. | 15:13 |
| mdm | Heikki123: are you trying to backup a non fat/ntfs filesystem to a fat file system? | 15:13 |
| sipior | Heikki123: and the problem is the 4gb limit? perhaps time to move to ntfs? | 15:13 |
| Heikki123 | sipior: yes | 15:13 |
| rameshwo | gastly: bazhang : ok maybe after some years. after i become an xpert.... | 15:13 |
| electroweak | derspankster, no I can't I have been advised to add modline to xorg.conf but it didn't work either | 15:13 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: does it matter? i need the entire filesystem, dd from /dev/hd... | 15:14 |
| gastly | rameshwo :) | 15:14 |
| derspankster | electrowek, does your GPU show up in nvidia-settings? | 15:14 |
| hemanth | how to get the name of the usb media which is mounted | 15:14 |
| Heikki123 | sipior: is there a way to convert a fat partition to ntfs in linux then? | 15:14 |
| * hemanth in cli | 15:14 | |
| mdm | Heikki123: yes greatly, since fat has no idea of linux permissions and ownership you will loose all those if you do not use archives | 15:14 |
| gastly | hemanth, in a terminal type: mount | 15:14 |
| gastly | hemanth , it shows all mounted drives | 15:15 |
| electroweak | derspankster, I can see that nvidia fx5200 | 15:15 |
| derspankster | electroweak, does your GPU show up in nvidia-settings? | 15:15 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: and a block device don't know anything what it has inside. so -> no matter what filesystem | 15:15 |
| gastly | brb | 15:15 |
| hemanth | gastly: so just mount | grep "usb" ha ? | 15:15 |
| derspankster | electroweak, how about your monitor? | 15:15 |
| rameshwo | how can i know if my sound/video cards are detected / drivers installed or not ??? | 15:15 |
| sipior | Heikki123: you can simply make a new filesystem on the partition; no way to convert that i know of (and it probably wouldn't work well anyway) | 15:15 |
| mdm | Heikki123: do you mean you want to dd from an ext filesystem into a partition that is marked as fat? simply mark it as the ext and do it | 15:15 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: no, i need to backup a partition (no matter what type it is) to a fat filesystem as a file (it already contains other files) | 15:16 |
| electroweak | derspankster, I can see a CRT section under GPU node | 15:16 |
| mdm | and Heikki123 do not use raid0 unless you do not care about the data | 15:16 |
| ksbalaji | I am unable to run a simple app - sunbird in Hardy -wine. I am getting error: The application sunbird is supposed to show a picture with a Sun and a bird following mouse pointer! Doesn't work in wine. Please guide - http://pastebin.com/d59985a8b - can someone help please? | 15:17 |
| mdm | Heikki123: you can create tar files then | 15:17 |
| gastly | hemanth, nope you'll have to manually search the device name, it should be sdb or sdc (depending on how many hard disks you have) | 15:17 |
| derspankster | electroweak, what does the line say? | 15:17 |
| erUSUL | !appdb | ksbalaji | 15:17 |
| cabrey | remember FAT filesystems have a file size limit | 15:17 |

| rameshwo | how can i know if my sound/video cards are detected / drivers installed or not ??? | 15:17 |
| hemanth | gastly: it's sda here , but how to make it genric | 15:17 |
| erUSUL | Heikki123: use split | 15:18 |
| mdm | Heikki123: yes | 15:18 |
| gastly | hemanth, generic as in? | 15:18 |
| mdm | Heikki123: pass it --tape-length=<size in K> | 15:18 |
| hemanth | gastly:I need it in a script | 15:18 |
| ksbalaji | erUSUL, thanks. I tried winehq - vain! That's why I came for help here. Possible? | 15:18 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: ok thanks :) | 15:19 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: but hmm, i can | 15:19 |
| electroweak | derspankster, CRT-0 (CRT-0) digital vibrance and image sharpening and refresh rate of 59,93 | 15:19 |
| uskrewed | Okay, so randomly my mouse will spaz out and it'll go up and down, left and right, scrolling as well, both right and left clicking. anyone know why it'd do this? | 15:19 |
| cabrey | ksbalaji, we are not wine developers, try a wine specific channel | 15:19 |
| erUSUL | ksbalaji: well what i tried to point out is that not all apps work well on wine. | 15:19 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: i can't mount it in a tar file, or can i? | 15:19 |
| mdm | Heikki123: no, not as far as I know | 15:19 |
| hemanth | gastly: a script which can list the device names | 15:19 |
| Heikki123 | so tar is not a solution | 15:19 |
| esde | still nothing. | 15:20 |
| gastly | hemanth, ahh...then maybe a you need some scripters help, as far as I know theres no 'generic' device to use as a usb :) | 15:20 |
| derspankster | electroweak, but no line identifying your monitor? | 15:20 |
| electroweak | derspankster, no nothing | 15:20 |
| esde | i restarted, nothing. toggled it, then another restart, nothing | 15:20 |
| mdm | Heikki123: you can dd it to a file if you have the space | 15:20 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: the partition? yes, but fat has 4G limit | 15:20 |
| ksbalaji | erUSUL, cabrey - Thanks and bye! | 15:20 |
| hemanth | gastly: thank you :) | 15:20 |
| gastly | hemanth, np :) | 15:20 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: per file | 15:20 |
| mdm | Heikki123: then reformat the partition | 15:20 |
| === randabis1 is now known as randabis | ||
| hemanth | gastly: im? | 15:21 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: that's not also a solution because i can't format it without loosing all the data in it ;) | 15:21 |
| electroweak | derspankster, I don't need to use 3d I just need resolution. is using the open source driver fixes my problem | 15:21 |
| mdm | Heikki123: then move the files somewhere else, why is it fat anyway? | 15:22 |
| esde | sipior, any ideas? | 15:22 |
| derspankster | electroweak, you should take a look at your Xorg log file | 15:22 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: it is fat because it was fat when i got it. it is a portable hard disk | 15:22 |
| gastly | hemanth, sure | 15:22 |
| Heikki123 | can i make a raid out of files | 15:22 |
| derspankster | electroweak, what version of nvidia driver do you have installed? | 15:22 |
| sipior | esde: i hadn't really been thinking about it. if you boot from a live cd, does the network function? | 15:23 |
| mdm | Heikki123: then move the files that are on it somewhere temporarily then reformat it and move them back. I am assuming you use this in a Windows enviroment as well, is that true? | 15:23 |
| sipior | Heikki123: why not change the filesystem to something a little more modern? save you a lot of trouble. | 15:23 |
| electroweak | derspankster, is there a command line thing to see it | 15:23 |
| Heikki123 | mdm: yes, windows and linux | 15:23 |
| mdm | Heikki123: is this windows xp, sp2 or later? | 15:23 |
| Heikki123 | the reason why i can | 15:23 |
| rockyardwork | network manager is pissing me off how do you keep it from changing what connection you want to use ? | 15:23 |
| rockyardwork | connection settings | 15:24 |
| rockyardwork | it keeps on making a AUTO ETH0 and whiching to that instead of my manual one that works when i select it | 15:24 |
| Heikki123 | the reason why i can't reformat is i don't have space anywhere else to store those files temporarily ;) | 15:24 |
| esde | uhm i dont have one atm. this shit is aggravating. | 15:24 |
| derspankster | electroweak, just open hardware drivers system>administration.hardware drivers | 15:24 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, what does your manual eth0 have? | 15:24 |
| mdm | Heikki123: convert it to NTFS, even Microsoft recommends you do. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx | 15:25 |
| electroweak | derspankster, I have ver. 173 installed | 15:25 |
| rockyardwork | cabrey it is setup correctly with dns servers, ip submask and gateway | 15:25 |
| mdm | and Heikki123 you can do that wile the files are on the fat system, and convert it, using windows | 15:25 |
| esde | there are no drivers in Hardware Drivers, how do I install the wireless one, and see if that works? | 15:25 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, then modify the auto eth0, that should work | 15:25 |
| sipior | Heikki123: then make a multi-part tar. or get a computer with a real filesystem and disk space. | 15:25 |
| nascentmind | Hi. When i type svn:// i get a the process for the svn protocol died unexpectedly. what seems to be the problem? | 15:25 |
| rockyardwork | why should I have to do that cabrey ? | 15:26 |
| derspankster | electroweak, are you running jaunty? I use nvidia 180 on jaunty | 15:26 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, because you have specific settings you want to put in | 15:26 |
| rockyardwork | why can't I just have it in the other one I created ? | 15:26 |
| mdm | nascentmind: the commnd is svn <command> <url> <project> as in svn co http://some.site.com/svn/archive archive | 15:26 |
| electroweak | derspankster, yes I am on jaunty but I have 173 and 96 | 15:27 |
| rockyardwork | not submask I meant netmask cabrey | 15:27 |
| nascentmind | mdm, yes i did that only... svn://ipaddress/ | 15:27 |
| derspankster | electroweak, you can always try 180 | 15:27 |
| Heikki123 | i would have converted it already, but i don't have windows ;) But anyhow, i will do something, thanks anyhow | 15:27 |
| esde | so like, no advice? | 15:27 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, check the nm config file: /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf | 15:27 |
| creature_ | whats a good tool to display the wireless power accurately? | 15:27 |
| electroweak | derspankster, can I do that over synaptic | 15:27 |
| nascentmind | mdm, in windows it works fine.. in linux i get this problem and it seems to be a problem with other protocols too after doing some googling.. what seems to be the problem? | 15:28 |
| derspankster | electroweak, yes | 15:28 |
| mdm | nascentmind: I dont know, I use svn over http quite frequently and it works fine | 15:28 |
| mehlo | hey, is it me or is torrents causing heavy fragmentation ? just did a fsck on my torrent drive and it says 83,4% non-contiguous.. this normal ? | 15:28 |
| mdm | nascentmind: what are you trying to sync? | 15:28 |
| sipior | esde: get live cd. boot from live cd. see if it works. | 15:28 |
| electroweak | derspankster, ok I will try that to see if it works :) | 15:29 |
| nascentmind | mdm, i am just trying to browse the repo using dolphin. | 15:29 |
| Boohbah | mehlo: what filesystem? | 15:29 |
| electroweak | derspankster, should I uninstall 173 before I try 180 | 15:29 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, found a solution. you cannot remove the auto eth0 one, but you can make your manual one the default | 15:29 |
| esde | i dont have a USB with me right now. | 15:29 |
| mehlo | ext3 converted to ext4 a few days ago | 15:29 |
| derspankster | electroweak, ubuntu display issues can be maddening, hope you get it working. | 15:29 |
| mehlo | files was written when i had ext3, if that matters | 15:29 |
| sipior | esde: then i don't know what to tell you. | 15:29 |
| rockyardwork | how do you do that cabrey ? | 15:29 |
| mehlo | the hdd is also far from full, only using 40% of it | 15:29 |
| rockyardwork | so it was because I was removing the auto eth0 one cabrey ? | 15:29 |
| rockyardwork | that is retarded it shouldn't do that | 15:30 |
| derspankster | electroweak, shouldn't need to, 173 is available to me as well as 180 | 15:30 |
| creature_ | how do you see wlan signal quality? | 15:30 |
| mysinu | hello | 15:30 |
| esde | sipior, my driver used to show up ion hardware drivers, now it doesnt. | 15:30 |

| lasmus | it possible to install ubuntu for an system who have install opensuse on it....it modify bootloader? | 15:31 |
| rockyardwork | I only have network configuration cabrey | 15:32 |
| ingcomrbr | Hi there.. | 15:32 |
| rkl_ | yes | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | mdm: beat me to it ;) | 15:32 |
| julia_2 | mdm hmm and how do I do that? | 15:32 |
| mdm | sorry erUSUL :( | 15:32 |
| ingcomrbr | I closed ports with iptables. | 15:32 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, ok right click on the network manager applet and select edit connections... | 15:32 |
| ingcomrbr | Do you know which port should I open to update and upgrade Ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| facemelter | hi, when i run a GUI-program with a different user than the one logged in, the GUI is very slow, and errors show up in the console...? | 15:32 |
| rockyardwork | where do you make it the default cabrey ? | 15:33 |
| lasmus | it possible to install ubuntu for an system who have install opensuse on it....it modify bootloader? | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | creature_: iwconfig show that | 15:33 |
| esde | anyone know how to load a wireless driver into Hardware Drivers? Specifically Ath5k Driver. | 15:33 |
| cabrey | ingcomrbr, just disable the firewall temporarily | 15:33 |
| ingcomrbr | good... thank you | 15:33 |
| ingcomrbr | :) | 15:33 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, select auto eth0, then edit... | 15:33 |
| mdm | julia_2: revision control is a system, not a simply program. And you will have to tech the users how to adhere to the standards. Look up svn or cvs | 15:33 |
| facemelter | ...any suggestions? | 15:33 |
| rockyardwork | can I change the name cabrey ? | 15:34 |
| rockyardwork | or would it just make another one after that | 15:34 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, no, uncheck connect automatically | 15:34 |
| rockyardwork | my ubuntu is really pissing me off | 15:34 |
| cabrey | well this would be a lot easier if you kept that to yourself | 15:34 |
| Skylight | hii | 15:34 |
| julia_2 | mdm sorry I forgot that i use samba for accessing the data | 15:35 |
| ingcomrbr | cabrey: I got iptables... how can I disabled? | 15:35 |
| cabrey | ingcomrbr, you don't use ufw? | 15:35 |
| mdm | julia_2: then you will need a subset of revision control called version control and that depends on the files themselves. what kind of files are they? | 15:35 |
| rockyardwork | I already have it checked to connect automatically in network for static why does it keep on making another auto eht0 each time I reboot cabrey ? | 15:35 |
| ingcomrbr | Nop... Iptables. | 15:35 |
| rockyardwork | that is lame | 15:35 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, did UNcheck it for auto eth0? | 15:36 |
| rockyardwork | why can't I delete it cabrey ? | 15:36 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, because it automatically creates a configuration for each network interface | 15:37 |
| mdm | julia_2: again the issue will be teaching the users to adhear to the policy. At least that has always been my challenge | 15:37 |
| rockyardwork | how can you disable that cabrey ? | 15:37 |
| rockyardwork | I only want one entry | 15:37 |
| rockyardwork | STATIC IP | 15:37 |
| rockyardwork | thats it | 15:37 |
| |Ryan | Is Drurew still in here? | 15:38 |
| |Ryan | I need his expertise. | 15:38 |
| rockyardwork | no auto eth0 also | 15:38 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, do you just use one network card? and you just want a static ip? | 15:38 |
| rockyardwork | I have one network card | 15:38 |
| rockyardwork | and one wireless card | 15:38 |
| rockyardwork | I already have a static ip | 15:39 |
| cabrey | rockyardwork, well i really don't know if you can disable that feature | 15:39 |
| rockyardwork | okay well thanks for letting me know cabrey | 15:39 |
| rockyardwork | will have to uncheck automatically connect next time when I reboot | 15:39 |

| ubottu | lazermouse: 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. | 15:48 |
| |Ryan | omg. | 15:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 15:49 |
| |Ryan | It's there now.. -.- | 15:49 |
| silv3r_m00n | there is a command which I want to execute everytime networking starts... | 15:49 |
| silv3r_m00n | how can I do that | 15:49 |
| matrixblue | |Ryan, cool | 15:49 |
| |Ryan | Thanks Matrix. :D | 15:49 |
| mdm | ubottu I want more money. Stupid bot never answers me anyway :P | 15:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:49 |
| lazermouse | cabery : what am I meant to say, em... It dosen't work!! | 15:49 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, can you be more specific | 15:49 |
| |Ryan | Matrix, how do I reset my network card driver? | 15:50 |
| lazermouse | ok, adding the ppa didn't work. | 15:50 |
| matrixblue | |Ryan, in the future when you addressing a particular person say their full name (case sensitive) so they'll get an alert. Sometimes we're doing other stuff | 15:50 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, error messages? | 15:50 |
| |Ryan | Ohh. | 15:50 |
| matrixblue | |Ryan, reset like how? | 15:50 |
| lazermouse | cabery-yes, i'll post them on pastebin.com | 15:50 |
| hoarycripple | Nashy, nothing else that I know of. | 15:50 |
| Youst | I need help please! Flash video is laggy and I cant watch any hd video. Few days ago, HD video was very well displayed on my computer! Any clue? | 15:50 |
| cabrey | thats what i was talking about | 15:50 |
| |Ryan | matrixblue As in, restart the driver without having to reboot my laptop. | 15:50 |
| danierie | hi how is the gconf editor named in kubuntu? | 15:51 |
| Nashy | hoarycripple: Thanks, I'll jump in the deep end and see if I swim | 15:51 |
| matrixblue | |Ryan, someone gave the command earlier but I wasn't paying attention | 15:51 |
| hoarycripple | Nashy, best way to learn :) | 15:51 |
| lazermouse | cabery-it deleted the ppa crap, dunno what the errors were... :( | 15:51 |
| cabrey | danierie, gconf-editor | 15:51 |
| |Ryan | matrixblue: Yeah, I forgot it. | 15:51 |
| mib_np12gb | hi. any of you have experience running crustal reports 10 with wine? is it feasible? | 15:51 |
| |Ryan | matrixblue: Any way you can find it out again for me? | 15:52 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, then re add it. ppa's don't spontaneously delete stuff | 15:52 |
| hoarycripple | Nashy, in all seriousness, it is unlikely that you will do irreparable damage your system by tweaking those particular settings. | 15:52 |
| matrixblue | |Ryan, prolly something like /etc/init.d/wlan0 restart | 15:52 |
| Youst | No clue? :( | 15:52 |
| lazermouse | cabrey: It wont let me add the ppa, it wants an "apt" line or something | 15:52 |
| |Ryan | matrixblue: What would the terminal command line be? | 15:52 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, System > Administration > Software Sources > 3rd Party Software tab | 15:52 |
| lazermouse | cabrey: been there | 15:53 |
| silv3r_m00n | how do I run php with a different user ? | 15:53 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, then you click Add... | 15:53 |
| hoarycripple | |Ryan, what are you trying to restart? | 15:53 |
| matrixblue | |Ryan, I dunno | 15:54 |
| |Ryan | matrixblue: One second. | 15:54 |
| lazermouse | ok, done that | 15:54 |
| lazermouse | it wants an apt line | 15:54 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, and the ppa gives it to you | 15:54 |
| |Ryan | 01:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 [AirForce 54g] 802.11a/b/g PCI Express Transceiver (rev 02) | 15:54 |
| |Ryan | matrixblue: That. | 15:54 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, if your running 9.04 here it is: | 15:55 |
| cabrey | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/moovida-packagers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | 15:55 |
| hoarycripple | |Ryan, so you want to restart networking? | 15:55 |
| |Ryan | Yeah. | 15:55 |
| lazermouse | cabrey: you don't get me... I put in all that stuff, and the Add Source is greyed out | 15:55 |
| hoarycripple | |Ryan, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 15:55 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, what is greyed out? | 15:55 |
| lazermouse | cabrey: The Add Source button | 15:55 |
| hoarycripple | |Ryan, or you can reload the broadcom module. I don't remember what the module name is, but if you can figure that out, the command is: | 15:56 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, you just said you put it in | 15:56 |
| hoarycripple | |Ryan, sudo modprobe module_name | 15:56 |
| lazermouse | cabrey: I put the ppa stuff in :) | 15:56 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, so whats the problem? | 15:56 |
| lazermouse | cabrey, I'll tell it right from the start, wait... | 15:56 |
| |Ryan | Would it work if I just rebooted m system? | 15:57 |
| |Ryan | my* | 15:57 |
| matrixblue | |Ryan, yep | 15:57 |
| wollex | nick wolle_afk | 15:57 |
| |Ryan | matrixblue: Lol.. 1 sec. | 15:57 |
| Skylight | how to log in on root account :$ | 15:57 |
| cabrey | !sudo | 15:57 |
| 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) | 15:57 |
| matrixblue | !root | Skylight | 15:57 |
| ubottu | Skylight: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:58 |
| === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder | ||
| lazermouse | cabrey: right... I'm trying to install Moovidia and went to Software Sources-3rd Party blah blah... and I put in the ppa you gave earlier but the add source button is greyed out | 15:58 |
| matrixblue | Skylight, I didn't expect that message. Why would you want to do such a thing? | 15:58 |
| cabrey | lazermouse, you mean you just put in the URL? | 15:58 |
| lazermouse | and therefore, it won't add | 15:58 |
| unko | whats the command to view my network info? it's like if config or somthing? | 15:58 |

| ubottu | rameshwo: 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).

| amy__ | hey guys | 16:05 |
| amy__ | can anyone help me please | 16:05 |
| cabrey | !ask | 16:05 |
| 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. :-) | 16:05 |
| amy__ | Theres a tracker error | 16:05 |
| cc | What problem? | 16:05 |
| amy__ | I can't get rid of the tracker error | 16:05 |
| Nehyx | amy__: sudo apt-get install tracker-utils | 16:05 |
| Nehyx | amy__: tracker-processes -r | 16:05 |
| Terrible-Tim | hey room | 16:06 |
| Nehyx | use that 2 commands | 16:06 |
| Terrible-Tim | i am having the weirdest problem with Wine... | 16:06 |
| obhk__ | my computer often hangs when I open large pdf files (>8MB); since there is no Ctrl-Alt-Del, what can I do when that happens? It's really annoying, I always end up restarting my computer | 16:06 |
| hoarycripple | obhk__, kill the offendiing process: evince | 16:07 |
| Terrible-Tim | when I want to launch an executable from command line... I change to that directory and run the command 'wine xxx.exe' and it works | 16:07 |
| hoarycripple | obhk__, pkill -9 evince | 16:07 |
| ctmjr | !dontzap|obhk__ | 16:07 |
| ubottu | obhk__: 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. | 16:07 |
| Terrible-Tim | HOWEVER... if from the terminal... i do 'wine ~/path/xxx.exe' the program looks like it's about to load | 16:07 |
| Terrible-Tim | and doesnt | 16:07 |
| Terrible-Tim | no error messages in terminal | 16:08 |
| obhk__ | hoarycripple: I can't, my computer doesn't react to anything anymore when it occurs | 16:08 |
| hoarycripple | obhk__, that is assuming that you can change to a virtual terminal (CTRL-ALT-F1) | 16:08 |
| lazermouse | I'm having a problem adding a PPA http://pastebin.com/d55a9266 and http://pastebin.com/d36d01d47 | 16:08 |
| rameshwo | i downloaded a software form (ice walkers ) in zipper type , i unzipped it and saw .jar files.... how to install ? is it in source code format ??? | 16:08 |
| hoarycripple | obhk__, you can also try killing X. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE | 16:08 |
| cabrey | Terrible-Tim, it needs stuff in that directory | 16:08 |
| Terrible-Tim | cabrey, but i figured simply by telling wine to operate in that dir, it should work | 16:09 |
| jbwiv | guys, I'm getting random freezes that require a full reboot. It's not X windows freezing...everything is a hard stop and can't even ping the box. What's the typical approach to troubleshooting things like this? Are there any utilities out there that you can install that back up system logs on reboot? | 16:09 |
| Terrible-Tim | am i wrong? | 16:09 |
| hoarycripple | obhk__, although in newer xorg, you have to set an option that allows you to do that: Option "DontZap" 0 | 16:10 |
| amy__ | how do I get to another channel | 16:10 |
| amy__ | ? | 16:10 |
| lazermouse | jbwiv: fraid not | 16:10 |
| jbwiv | er...not system logs....dmesg output | 16:10 |
| rameshwo | amy__ : /join #channelname | 16:10 |
| Terrible-Tim | and if that's the case... I want to make a shortcut in my menu to change to that directory and then launch wine | 16:10 |
| cabrey | Terrible-Tim, yes because the program looks where it is run from. it probably needs dll's and other crap windows programs come with | 16:10 |
| jbwiv | lazermouse: so what's one to do | 16:10 |
| Terrible-Tim | i tried 'cd ~/path & wine xxx.exe' | 16:11 |
| Terrible-Tim | and it freaked out on me | 16:11 |
| amy__ | thanks | 16:11 |
| cabrey | Terrible-Tim, thats because it is cd ~/path && wine xxx.exe | 16:11 |
| Terrible-Tim | thanks | 16:11 |
| Terrible-Tim | ill try that now | 16:11 |
| lazermouse | jbwiv: boot into recovery mode at GRUB, go to recovery mode and click dpkg | 16:11 |

| sipior | isnusun: stopped how? | 16:30 |
| erUSUL | tonyf12: the later --> run to the shop and buy more CD-Rs | 16:30 |

| solomon | Hi, I'm talking a friend through updating Ubuntu to the latest version. update-manager currently wants to update to 8.04 (IIRC that's hardy, so they're on gutsy). They're getting some 404's: http://paste.ubuntu.com/194444/ - I had them aptitude update but they're getting the same thing | 16:32 |

| smacktalk | erUSUL:no problem | 16:33 |
| erUSUL | ikus060: nope xxdiff uses qt and tk diff uses (drum rolls ) tcl/tk | 16:34 |
| shashwatpns | erUSUL: my question is how to see the cube an i have searched cssm and there is no key shown to display the cube | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | ikus060: so try them (or at least check some webpage) before you dismiss them | 16:34 |
| isnusun | sipior: when i replace the cpu, the system is boot ok, but not finished and stopped on : ACPI : PCI Interrupt for device 000:00:if.5 disabled | 16:35 |
| erUSUL | shashwatpns: simple-ccsm has a drop down menu to change to the cube in the full ccsm you enable the cube plugin | 16:35 |

| erUSUL | solomon: gutsy has reached EOL so the repos are now in old-releases | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | solomon: that's why he gets 404 i guess | 16:38 |
| sipior | isnusun: can you boot from a live cd, to rule out the possibility that the installation is broken? | 16:38 |

| erUSUL | Jampiter: python file.py | 16:39 |

| isnusun | sipior: i can boot from a live cd, but no disk is recognized in /dev/ | 16:39 |

| erUSUL | solomon: afaik (never tried) | 16:40 |
| solomon | erUSUL: thanks, i'll give that a try | 16:40 |
| sipior | isnusun: you'll have to ensure that the raid driver is loaded (see if "lsmod | grep md_mod" returns anything) | 16:40 |
| erUSUL | solomon: once this is done he can update its gutsy install to the lat packages and then do the dist-upgrade | 16:40 |
| === yaccaway is now known as yacc | ||

| jpangamarca | @psycovic2 you need to use aptoncd for creating a offline installation disk. You have to download the packages with Synaptic and then create the disk. You may need to run aptoncd as root so it can read all the packages | 17:04 |

| dh003i | anyone have any suggestions on this problem: | 17:18 |
| dh003i | the issue is, my keyboard (Northgate Omnikey Evolution, connected via either PS/2 or PS/2 => USB adapter, works fine when logging in from the display manager, or when doing console login and in the console. But it doesn't work at all in KDE (except the CTRL key in GIMP, which when combined with the scroll wheel, lets me zoom in or out) | 17:18 |
| savid | lstarnes, and if that's the case, how can I access those? | 17:18 |
| JabberWalkie | last time i checked anyways | 17:18 |
| lstarnes | savid: other than by manually viewing the files, no | 17:18 |
| sebsebseb | rameshwo: ,but most of the actsual software will be the same, they are just done in different package formats | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Ganymede: thers ways to set up a vncserver so it gives the user a gdm login screen. But you lose the persistant VNC session features that way. That is NOT the same as shareing the 'currently seen/visible' desktop on the remote box. You can have several vnc sessions going. | 17:18 |
| masaca1 | Hi all | 17:18 |
| glitsj16 | lightbricko: adjust the settings for the 'animations' in compiz, you can disable those completely if you want | 17:18 |

| NetLarIrvine | nVidia is supported well on Ubuntu also? | 18:36 |
| Dr_Willis | headrx: try the 'mount' command.. and if from windows you give the drive a proper 'name/label' it wont use 'disk' under linux :) | 18:36 |
| Guest13485 | can I remove widdows os without removing other files on the windows partition? | 18:36 |
| frostburn | MyWay, try the restricted drivers? | 18:36 |
| Guest13485 | I need to make that a ubuntu oart. | 18:36 |
| grawity | Guest13485: Yes | 18:36 |
| Guest13485 | part. | 18:36 |
| Guest13485 | yes? wow | 18:37 |
| headrx | ah, not worried about the name, i actually migrated from windows completely | 18:37 |
| Dr_Willis | headrx: if its ext2/3/linux filesystem use the 'tune2fs' comman to set a disk label also. | 18:37 |
| deany | !grub | porter1 | 18:37 |
| XbmcUser | MyWay you can try envyng | 18:37 |

| Hajuu | Hi guys, I am trying to run an application and capture any and all console output generated. I have tried just piping it to a file, and i've tried running it in a shell and piping the output of the shell instance, but neither way has been able to capture any and all command output.. Anyone got any ideas how I can capture everything into a file? | 18:37 |
| headrx | Dr_Willis: im installing linux on it, should i format with ext3 ? | 18:37 |
| Guest13485 | and how on earth can I do that thing? :)) | 18:38 |
| grawity | Guest13485: rm -rf WINDOWS "Program Files" "System Volume Information" RECYCLER pagefile.sys NTDETECT.COM ntldr | 18:38 |
| frostburn | Hajuu, it's most likely being outputted as stderr instead of stdout, you'll need to redirect that as well | 18:38 |
| MyWay | frostburn: there aren't | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | headrx: im not clear on the details of hwat you are doing - So i no idea. :) | 18:38 |
| grawity | Guest13485: Ah, and hiberfil.sys and boot.ini | 18:38 |
| porter1 | deany, I've tried all of that. GRUB gives me 'Error 15' after setting the root and setting up. | 18:38 |
| Hajuu | frostburn: sure, how do I do that in a similar style to pipe | 18:39 |
| porter1 | I have a very simple setup too. Just the typical one hardive with ext4 and a swap | 18:39 |
| frostburn | Hajuu, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html | 18:39 |
| Dr_Willis | headrx: if you install 'linux' to a hard drive.. you will want to use a linux filesystem. such as ext2/3/4 or similer. :) the installer normally can partition/format the disk as needed | 18:39 |
| headrx | Dr_Willis : want to install a version of ubuntu (i have the 7.10 iso) just so i can boot up into linux to burn some data off roomies computer (severely infected) | 18:39 |
| Hajuu | lol ahh thats weird | 18:40 |
| headrx | not interested in using it anymore after then as i have 9.04 installed on this machine and server | 18:40 |
| Hajuu | thanks alot frostburn | 18:40 |
| porter1 | Then I tried simply installing vanilla Ubuntu, then copying over some root folders | 18:40 |
| porter1 | But, fat doesn't support symlinks -.- | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | headrx: there are live cd's that let you do that. :) they can run totally in ram. No install needed. | 18:41 |
| frostburn | porter1, what are you trying to accomplish? | 18:41 |
| lanoxx- | how do i remove the compiz blacklisting? | 18:41 |
| headrx | Dr_Willis: perfect scenario except that he only has one optical drive | 18:41 |
| deany | porter1, dunno dude. clonezilla never failed me. try that newer ubuntu based version. | 18:41 |
| headrx | so i cant burn | 18:41 |
| porter1 | frostbum, I'm trying to simply backup a hard drive. | 18:41 |
| lanoxx- | i just updated to intel 2.7.1 and 2.6.30 | 18:41 |
| BeGeMoT_ | Xorg - have 80% in top, vlc have 10% | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | headrx: puppy linux and other small disrtos can go totally to ram. :) and freeup the optical disk | 18:41 |
| Guest13485 | ok, but I want to make that partition to be a native ubuntu one | 18:42 |
| Guest13485 | :)) | 18:42 |
| frostburn | BeGeMoT, top is running at 80%? o.O | 18:42 |
| WanFu_ | is there a way, while in X, to change the screen resolution on the fly, with some hotkey combo? | 18:42 |
| headrx | ill have to check into that | 18:42 |
| Dr_Willis | headrx: they wont be ussing kde/k3b - of course.. but other burning tools. | 18:42 |
| porter1 | frostburn, I'm trying to simply backup a hard drive. | 18:42 |
| porter1 | Sorry about name | 18:42 |
| lanoxx- | WanFu_, use randr | 18:42 |
| BeGeMoT_ | frostburn no | 18:42 |
| BeGeMoT_ | 50% | 18:42 |
| lanoxx- | porter1, whats your question? | 18:43 |
| frostburn | porter1, i'd boot up a live cd and then copy the hard disk | 18:43 |
| WanFu_ | lanoxx-, I cant tho, it is set at a resolution my monitor does not support, even tho I changed xorg.conf | 18:43 |
| BeGeMoT_ | top 48% cpu | 18:43 |
| BeGeMoT_ | idl 49 | 18:43 |
| porter1 | frostburn, using dd, right? It's slow as hell | 18:43 |
| porter1 | I'm doing it right now tho | 18:43 |
| lanoxx- | WanFu_ usually u can use randr to controll the resolution, if not i dont know, sorry | 18:43 |
| frostburn | porter1, dd, rsync, cpio whatever you need to get the job done | 18:43 |
| lanoxx- | porter1, u have to add bs=2M to speed up dd | 18:44 |
| lanoxx- | otherwise it will copy one byte at a time and thats very slow | 18:44 |
| frostburn | BeGeMoT, do a cat /proc/cpuinfo does everything look ok there? | 18:44 |
| WanFu_ | lanoxx-.. is there a hotkey to get to a terminal? | 18:44 |
| BeGeMoT_ | it make me crazy.... first linux for media pc and it not run from box... my lovely windows... | 18:44 |
| lanoxx- | WanFu_, ctrl_alt_f1 | 18:44 |

| headrx | Dr_Willis: i think ill install ubuntu on my usb drive and just boot that way, that way i can use standard tools | 18:45 |
| lanoxx- | porter1, the best size differes from drive to drive, but for me, when i once used dd the speed increase was from 2 days to 2 hours after I added the bs option | 18:46 |

| porter1 | lanoxx-, thankfully I'm just trying to backup these small drives (35GB), so it isn't too painful | 18:46 |
| lanoxx- | porter1, ok then, anyway if its too slow you can still start over again | 18:47 |
| lanoxx- | there is also a command to see how far dd has gome | 18:47 |
| porter1 | lanoxx-, actually I got 3 gigs left | 18:47 |

| Dracofodder | question on video playback in ubuntu. I think I have all the codecs installed, as I can download and play podcasts (H264 format for example) but streaming is choppy and slow from youtube, hulu and other places. Is this bad playback likely a factor of my cpu speed (old computer) nic, codec, or some other thing? | 18:53 |
| porter1 | Dracofodder, in fullscreen? | 18:53 |
| BeGeMoT | http://pastebin.com/m1d93a301 | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Dracofodder: more likely one of the many 'flash' annoyances. - we just LOVE flash.... | 18:53 |
| Dracofodder | porter1: nope, small. | 18:53 |
| porter1 | Dracofodder, I believe that flashplayer is simply cruddy | 18:53 |

| siwon | just let me know when its my turn | 18:54 |
| === john is now known as Guest40636 | ||
| siwon | ty | 18:54 |
| porter1 | Dracofodder, on some of the nicest computers I've run Ubuntu on, flashplayer is still slow | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | siwon: mentioned in the forums at times. gdesktlets needs the older version of python to be installed.. and for what its worth.. i wouldent mess with gdesklets. its not very good. | 18:54 |
| porter1 | Even with accelerated graphics set in Flash settings | 18:54 |
| Dracofodder | porter1: Dr_Willis.. agreed on flashplayer in both cases, but I used to have a beefier laptop that ran "ok" using opensuse. I no longer have that hardware, and in all things on this old machine the video is the only thing that is a problem | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | siwon: i tend to use 'screenlets' or google-applets (i forget the exact name) | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Dracofodder: flash is a problem. :) it can be quirky depending on video card/driveers/kernel version/phase of the moon. | 18:55 |
| xso | does anyone know a way to prevent my mouse from getting "Lost in the abyss" between my monitors lol... When I move my mouse to the other monitor since its a different resolution it seems to go into a "Void" area which is fine, just wondering if I could lock the mouse to within the resolution parameters | 18:56 |

| xso | Porter: yea I do sorry | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | xso: not that ive noticed. But i rarely lose the thing :) i do have 2 differnt res monitors also. | 18:57 |
| porter1 | in the nvidia settings area, you can set the offset of the other monitor so that it is closer | 18:57 |
| tyler_d1 | recommended firewall? | 18:57 |
| Dracofodder | Dr_Willis: should I go looking for some sort of flash "tuning" or am I just stuck? driers and kernel are whatever is in the channel for ubuntu 9.04, I used an nvidia 5950 I had laying about, and installed their ver 172 driver.. Maxed out the ram onthis machine too (not much, it is old hardware.. but it is maced) | 18:57 |
| xso | Porter: its not like it gets lost its just annoying at times thats all.. I've set my monitor to the same resolution just to avoid the problem | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Dracofodder: trouble shooting problamtic flash can be a pain. Not sure to where even BEGIN to start. check the forums perhaps for that exact video card may be a start | 18:58 |
| porter1 | xso, in the display config area, one of the monitors can be set to overlap | 18:58 |
| Dracofodder | Dr_Willis: sorry, nvidia driver 173.14.16 just checked. | 18:59 |

| Joeseph | I'm about to install Fedora 11 on my slave HD. Is it okay if Fedora shares the same home partition and the same Swap partition as my ubuntu install? | 19:00 |
| Hajuu | ill check out sux | 19:00 |
| Hajuu | cheers | 19:00 |
| carpii | Joeseph, id say its a bad idea really | 19:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Hajuu: your reasoning/logic/demands are not clear on what you are doing exactly. :) | 19:01 |
| Joeseph | carpii: How come? | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Joeseph: very much NOT a good idea. | 19:01 |
| carpii | well maybe swap wont be an issue, i dont know | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Joeseph: owndership of files will be different btween the 2 disrtos. | 19:01 |
| Joeseph | Can you explain why? | 19:01 |
| Hajuu | Dr_Willis: 10 years in web application development would beg to differ :P | 19:01 |
| NetLarIrvine | Can you do a live CD to check if a computer system will work when unbuntu is installed?? | 19:01 |
| porter1 | Joeseph, because the two will be confused with some of the data | 19:01 |
| carpii | well what if fedora writes some config files, ina way that isnt compatible with the software on ubuntu ? | 19:01 |
| NetLarIrvine | I mean like at a computer store?? | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Joeseph: the initial user id on ubuntu starts at 1000, on redhat/variants its 500 (i think) | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Joeseph: so your home users files will show as owned by someone else when the other disrto runs. | 19:02 |

| Soopa | Drupal doesn't have a doc check out/check in feature, which I'd like to have | 19:03 |

| halberd | great Flannel , slight problem is I use kde... maybe I better ask in kubuntu | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Orest: sure its not a missnamed .zip file? ive neverheard of .zipx in mymany years of windows ussage | 19:07 |
| Joeseph | Dr_Willis: Yeah, that makes sense. If I hibernate into the swap, then instead boot the other distro, I can see how that would be a problem. | 19:08 |
| Orest | Dr_Willis: neither have I, but it seems it's a new format WinZip came up with | 19:08 |
| Orest | I googled it and there are some articles how it's the next best thing since sliced bread etc... but of course no linux support | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Orest: actually a google hit says its an OLD format... :) | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Orest: | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ZipX is a file extension that will be used for a forthcoming archive file format. StuffIt 8.5 will add recognition for files with this extension. They expect release in Sept 2003. | 19:09 |

| Orest | Dr_Willis: I guess that's my best bet, thanks anyway | 19:10 |

| NetLarIrvine | So does anyone think that would work?, Using Live CD to check if a system is compatible? | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Orest: considering the availability of high volume storage, i cant see a few mb here or there being a massive issue | 19:14 |
| Flannel | ongolaBoy: #ubuntu-offtopic, or #ubuntu-doc, this isn't really an appropriate place for that question | 19:15 |
| ongolaBoy | Flannel: ok | 19:15 |
| fosco__ | NetLarIrvine, that is the main purpose of the liveCD | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | NetLarIrvine: sure, if it works in the live cd it will work in the installed system. You can even install drivers for hardware in nthe live cd, it will live in the ram disk | 19:15 |
| NetLarIrvine | So a live CD run will not prove the system will be compatible for installing Ubuntu? | 19:16 |
| NetLarIrvine | oh sorry | 19:17 |
| NetLarIrvine | did not read you correctly | 19:17 |
| NetLarIrvine | Great thanks | 19:17 |

| halberd | How does sudo find programs? | 19:22 |
| halberd | it doesn't seem to use $PATH | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | halberd: sudo doesnt find programs | 19:22 |
| halberd | what does it do ActionParsnip then? how does it decide? | 19:23 |
| halberd | by "find programs" I mean, determine that e.g. emacs is located in /usr/bin/emacs | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | halberd: sudo allows you to execute cli based apps with elevated priveledges provided you are in the admin group | 19:23 |
| halberd | how does it do that? | 19:23 |
| Hajuu | Yay | 19:24 |
| Hajuu | Going to use expect | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | halberd: its what sudo is for, I have no idea how it does it and as a user I'm not bothered | 19:24 |
| Hajuu | thanks for your help frostburn, Dr_Willis | 19:24 |
| Hajuu | :P | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | halberd: the $PATH will be used for the name autocomplete to work for the command you type after sudo | 19:25 |
| unop | halberd, it uses a new version of $PATH - as defined in /etc/profile (i believe). e.g. sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH' | 19:25 |
| fretegi | hello all | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | halberd: if you use the 'which' command it will tell you what will be ran when you type the command | 19:25 |
| fretegi | ok got a problem | 19:25 |
| fretegi | trying to uninstall wine and EVERYTHING to do with it | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | fretegi | 19:25 |
| ubottu | fretegi: 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. :-) | 19:25 |
| fretegi | wanna just blow the whole directory | 19:25 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, except which could give you different results for different users | 19:25 |
| geirha | halberd: You can see what PATH sudo uses with: sudo env | 19:25 |
| fretegi | but it wont lemme mw | 19:25 |
| fretegi | any thoughts? | 19:26 |
| fosco__ | fretegi, rm -rf ~/.wine, that will delete all wine for your user | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | unop: well the command is executed as the curent user so i not incorrect, but you are correct | 19:26 |
| fretegi | nada | 19:27 |
| fretegi | just tried | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | fretegi: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 19:27 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, no, the command is executed by the user specified by sudo (root by default) :) | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | fretegi: will uninstall all of wine and its dependancys | 19:27 |

| spenser | did you install the propritaru nvidia drivers | 21:21 |

| david__ | yeah version 180 | 21:22 |

| === Alexandra is now known as Guest2731 | ||

| spenser | david use sudo nvidia-settings to configure the monitors | 21:22 |
| fretegi | anyone able to help with a simple command sybtax | 21:22 |
| dajhorn | fedder: You may get luck with that mount command if you change the partition type from FD to 82 with a utility like cfdisk, but you could also destroy data. | 21:22 |
| ARMENIAN | why is it that when i do hcitool scan only my phones are showing up, not my headsets? | 21:22 |
| fretegi | syntax? | 21:22 |
| david__ | yeah I was setting up my monitor's and then tried "save to X configuration file" and it wont work | 21:22 |
| dajhorn | fedder: A better way would be to use mdadm to bring up the RAID-1 volume in degraded mode, and then mount the /dev/md0 node. | 21:23 |
| scott_ino | spenser: ahh is that just a permissions issue with not being able to save from nvidia-settings? if so how has somebody not filed a feature request to just prompt for the administrative password | 21:23 |
| spenser | David it won't let you save unless you started nv settings with sudo | 21:23 |

| geronimo9 | CSSnub don't mount the samba share to /home/bob but maybe to /home/bob/smbshare or something | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | CSSnub: theres also a lot of little things to watch out for when using samba. its a rather complex sysetm that most people just scratch the surface of. | 21:34 |

| scunizi | Is anyone aware of a "class scheduling" program in the repos? either gnome or kde based? | 21:35 |
| CSSnub | OK - so to be clear I would use mount to create a link between a physical drive and a location in the filesystem. I could mount that same samba share for all 5 users in their specific home directories right? | 21:35 |
| === kebomix_ is now known as kebomix | ||
| CSSnub | Dr_Willis - security risk then? setting it up with ssh this way? | 21:35 |
| Dr_Willis | CSSnub: mount 'mounts' a file system . dont use the term link. :) thats somthing else. | 21:35 |
| Dr_Willis | CSSnub: you proberly want to mount the share to someplace like /media/sharename for all users to find it. would be easier. | 21:36 |
| CSSnub | So how would I allow them to access that directory then? | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | CSSnub: then you could 'link' that /media/sharename to their own home/subdirs if you wanted. | 21:36 |
| gjperez | Does anybody know of a distro agnostinc tutorial on how to make an installable livecd based on an existing system? | 21:36 |

| halberd | what's a good dictionary program? | 21:37 |
| CSSnub | does this mean they can access any of the files on this system? | 21:38 |

| CSSnub | I really only want them to be able to get to media/share | 21:38 |

| rainwalker | if my wireless card works with 32-bit Ubuntu, it should work wtih 64-bit, right? | 21:39 |

| fedder | dajhorn: mdadm - v2.6.7.1 - 15th October 2008 | 21:41 |
| Dr_Willis | xcdfgkjhgcv: make sure their workgroups are the same.. and i often set up the /etc/hosts file with the static ip of the remote box's | 21:41 |
| renagadex | I cant run Tremulous, it wont start | 21:41 |
| fedder | I created the volume back in 2007 with OpenSUSE 10.3 | 21:41 |
| xcdfgkjhgcv | Dr_Willis: How do I find out the workgroups? | 21:41 |
| Dr_Willis | xcdfgkjhgcv: with the nautilus browser i often have to type in the FULL path to the share also. the browsing feature is often not working right (or the shares are not set to be browseable) | 21:41 |
| xcdfgkjhgcv | Dr_Willis: But that's GAY! | 21:41 |
| Dr_Willis | xcdfgkjhgcv: its in /etc/samba/smb.conf You did instgall the full samba package on both machines? | 21:42 |

| fedder | dajhorn: Hmm. That was on 32bit opensuse 10.3, now I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 in x86_64... | 21:42 |
| Dr_Willis | xcdfgkjhgcv: enter full path once.. tell it to rember password... it never has a problem for me after that. | 21:42 |
| fedder | Naaah, that couldn't be it... | 21:42 |
| Dr_Willis | xcdfgkjhgcv: or mount them somewhere via fstab | 21:42 |
| dajhorn | fedder: The order of arguments may matter. Try mdadm `--assemble --force`. The man page for that version says that assembly mode can be forced. | 21:42 |

| istvan_ | ideas? | 21:57 |
| istvan_ | can I roll back? | 21:57 |
| dominik | elena09 mathtype cant do what latex can do and it is 10000 times slower to write formulas in mathtype then it is in latex, you should consider it | 21:58 |
| ltcabral | what command to remove an user from a group? | 21:58 |
| heyheyhey | so sata is better runs faster or should i get a flash stick | 21:58 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 21:58 |
| heyheyhey | they are even faster | 21:58 |
| libtech | heyheyhey: what are you talking about | 21:59 |
| elena09 | dominik, i wrote hundreds of pages both in Latex and in Word with mathType I like MathType instead of memorizing commands in Latex | 21:59 |
| elena09 | I have bad memory | 21:59 |
| dominik | elena09 int for integral I wouldnt consider that memorizing | 21:59 |
| neonflx | how can i make applications open on a specific monitor when using dual monitors i.e. laptop screen, and lcd monitor thanks | 22:00 |

| libtech | heyheyhey: im not too sure, sata hard drives are plenty fast methinks | 22:01 |
| heyheyhey | okay | 22:01 |
| heyheyhey | i will use my 1tb sata then | 22:01 |
| linxeh | elninja: and our departmental standard is latex, so if I use something else I've got hours of fiddling to get a template together, and then manage the bibliography, and everthing else. its not worth it | 22:01 |
| libtech | heyheyhey: i dont know much about solid state except that they are expensive | 22:01 |
| dragoon | ltcabral, substitute the group to remove for GROUP and the user to remove from for USER. usermod can set your group membership, but it doesn't have a specific "remove me from this group" | 22:02 |
| dominik | libtech there seek times are insane | 22:02 |
| Viper550 | okay, some guidance, can the installer resize ntfs partitions? | 22:02 |
| mezquitale | i want to add the following line to "/etc/networking/interfaces"----> "auto rndis0", should I create a new line or should I just add rndis0 to the line that's there for example "auto lo rndis0" | 22:02 |
| dominik | viper550 i belive not | 22:02 |
| mattubuntu | how do you get 3D drivers for linux? | 22:02 |
| dragoon | ltcabral, so that oneliner figures out what your group membership is and then adds you to every group but that | 22:02 |
| hubert_ | cześć | 22:03 |
| dragoon | Viper550, resizing NTFS has worked for me fairly well in the past | 22:03 |

| lifecurbed | dominik: try a "modprobe -l |grep e1000e" or an "lspci" to see if your card's driver is being loaded, or if the device is currently available | 22:07 |
| max_ | Hi. I'm having a problem. I cant change to 12hr time. I set that in time/date as 12hr format, and my clock is in 12hr format, but all my programs that look to that to see time/date are all in 24 hour format. | 22:07 |
| dominik | lifecurbed is that an l? | 22:07 |

| toenail | do i have to do sudu before it , sorry i hagvent worked with ubuntu sense version 6 | 22:10 |
| rainwalker | why does the restricted drivers manager list two versions of the nvidia driver (versions 180 and 173)? | 22:10 |
| toenail | so 3 or 4 years | 22:10 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: "modprobe -l | grep e1000e" - the parameter is an l, and the character that comes before the grep command is a pipe, but you might know that. | 22:10 |

| ikonia | Mike_lifeguard: no | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Mike_lifeguard: woule totally depend on what you are compressing | 22:11 |
| Hajuu | ah thats what I was after | 22:12 |
| ikonia | Mike_lifeguard: tar tvf will be best give an idea | 22:12 |
| Hajuu | thanks ikonia | 22:12 |
| ha1331_ | any idea why I get frames with red artifacts, almost the whole frame red, but kind of like the flag that is waved at the end of car race, but red and transparent? I get them on random interval. This started today. Happens with SMPlayer and vlc player. | 22:12 |
| Hajuu | :) | 22:12 |
| toenail | i got it thanks | 22:12 |
| dominik | lifecurbed it shows that the driver is loaded | 22:12 |
| ibuclaw | rainwalker, for some users, only one or the other driver will work. Although as far as NViDIA is concerned, the 180 drivers are the current stable. 173 being old stable. (and 185 being the beta drivers). | 22:12 |
| dominik | lifecurbed actually it shows two one that I installed and the a e1000e ich9m.ko | 22:12 |
| Viper550 | so can it resize? | 22:12 |
| rainwalker | ibuclaw: if I have a Quadro card, should I go with 180, then? | 22:12 |
| toenail | im ediotic . so it installed jack but how do i run i through the Gnu | 22:13 |
| ha1331_ | The whole flag thing was to describe the fact, that the red artifats are same sized squares. | 22:13 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: ok - how about an "lspci | grep 82574" | 22:13 |
| ibuclaw | rainwalker, the 180 drivers are recommended. | 22:13 |
| dominik | lifecurbed shows two intel corporation 8257l connections | 22:13 |

| pw-toxic | ) of my old HDD to my intel SSD .. because i dont want to reconfigure my ubuntu | 22:14 |
| pw-toxic | how do i do this? | 22:14 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: alright, so your modules are loaded, and the hardware is recognized by the OS. it's quite possibly a driver issue then | 22:14 |
| rainwalker | ibuclaw: alright, and you're sure the 185.xx versions are beta? I'm reading a thread on the forums that gives the impression they've been released | 22:14 |
| diffred | how do I convert .dvi or .ps into jpg? | 22:15 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Dr_Willis: I'm compressing my whole home dir -- is there a ballpark % reduction in size .gz achieves for such scenarios? | 22:15 |
| usser | rainwalker, just installed 185, they are released | 22:15 |
| rainwalker | usser: how is it? | 22:16 |
| ibuclaw | rainwalker, oh wow, I am behind the times :D | 22:16 |
| ibuclaw | http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 | 22:16 |
| usser | Mike_lifeguard, depends on the files you store. videos and music dont compress well | 22:16 |
| ibuclaw | rainwalker, that thread should explain everything | 22:16 |
| usser | rainwalker, works alright, i havent had major issues with nvidia drivers since 170 | 22:16 |
| rainwalker | ibuclaw: so is there a reason they aren't listed in the restricted drivers manager? | 22:16 |
| rainwalker | usser: better than 180? I want to get the most out of this 1 GB quadro | 22:17 |
| dominik | lifecurbed what if I unload the driver that came with ubuntu? | 22:17 |
| usser | rainwalker, the reason 185 is not in the repos is that its considered a major upgrade as opposed to a security fix major upgrades dont make it into repos | 22:17 |
| Mike_lifeguard | usser: yeah, actually, I'd like to exclude music, videos, my source code (which probably compresses well, but is stored elsewhere already), and my backups (of other machines) | 22:17 |
| ibuclaw | rainwalker, looks like the 185 official release is recent. I'd expect it'll be in the next release of Ubuntu (9.10). | 22:17 |
| usser | rainwalker, quadro uses special drivers as far as i know. it works with 180 right now?? | 22:17 |
| Mike_lifeguard | usser: so the rest is just documents and all the .config_dirs | 22:17 |

| ford | well here goes just the device section lol will log back in and tell you what happened | 22:37 |
| ford | providing my system reboots | 22:37 |
| dominik | lifecurbed how can I get the kernal if I can't do sudo apt-get cause I have no internet? | 22:37 |
| ctmjr | dom96,you need to remove it to use the xorg driver but if you do not like it you can reinstall the fglrx driver | 22:37 |
| dom96 | ctmjr thanks a lot i'll ask the people on #ati first and see what they think | 22:38 |
| Dr_Willis | dh003i: figure out what settinjgs are what and save tghe files i guess.. | 22:38 |
| ctmjr | dom96, that would be best as i said i gave up on it so maybe they fixed it. | 22:38 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: you could download the 9.10 dvd iso, burn it, and add it as a source in your System -> Software Sources | 22:38 |
| dom96 | ctmjr, ok thanks a lot | 22:38 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: 2.6.30 is included in ubuntu 9.10 | 22:39 |
| delta9 | oi | 22:39 |
| dominik | lifecurbed why are the drivers not competible anyways? | 22:39 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: I think it has something to do with the old drivers not having device ID's for your card, as it is too new | 22:40 |
| dkg | Hi. Is there an alternative to pcdj or traktor for ubuntu? | 22:40 |
| dominik | lifecurbed no I ment my cuda drivers they are only out for 8.10 why would they not work on 9.04? | 22:40 |
| elli222 | Resuming after a suspend remounts my root filesystem Read only. How can i fix this? | 22:40 |
| dominik | or 9.10? | 22:40 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: this doesn't explain why your new drivers that you installed from intel don't work on your machine | 22:40 |
| ford | nours no dice man.... | 22:40 |
| whozatmac | what became of xfce4-menueditor in jaunty? | 22:41 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: cuda drivers - I donno, I haven't really been keeping up. I was just referring to your ethernet drivers | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !find xfce4-menueditor | 22:41 |
| Sniper606 | Does anyone know if there is a way to make the thunar file manager's background transparent in XFCE on xubuntu 9.04? | 22:41 |
| ubottu | File xfce4-menueditor found in fvwm-crystal, xfdesktop4-data, xubuntu-artwork | 22:41 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: "nic" drivers. sorry. | 22:42 |
| dominik | lifecurbed but I was specifically wondering why drivers that work for 8.04 dont't work for 9.04 | 22:42 |
| Skylight | some1 is known with apache and php ? | 22:42 |
| dominik | lifecurbed by the way centos has the drivers working | 22:43 |
| dominik | lifecurbed just fyi | 22:43 |
| nours | Skylight, yes what is the question? | 22:44 |
| whozatmac | I have all those xfce packages installed, but the program (and any way to access it from the GUI, are gone. as if the whole menu editor was removed from xfce 4.6 | 22:44 |
| dkg | Is there any (free) software available in Jaunty that can play multiple audio files simultaneously to different sound cards with the ability to change the playback speed in "realtime"? (a simplified pcdj or traktor) | 22:44 |
| Skylight | could u fix that ? http://trac.utorrent.com/trac/wiki/Webui-Shell | 22:44 |
| mcr | dkg, do you need change the speed with a key? | 22:44 |
| mcr | or with cmdline? | 22:44 |
| Skylight | nours can i pm u ? | 22:45 |
| dkg | mcr: mouse or key (I assume you mean key as in keyboard and not the musical term..?) | 22:45 |
| Harryy | Okay, hi. Well, I have an Ubuntu livecd, it is not corrupt, and neither is my memory. I go to install it, and I get "/usr/bin/ubiquality-dm line 208 [and] line 114 XServer exited with return code str(status) return code 1." (an error similar to that). | 22:45 |
| Harryy | After about a few minutes, it opens just a blank terminal like what happens when you SSH into a box. What command should I run to get my Ubuntu working? The box is a Dell Dimension 2400, if that is relevant information. Someone help me please :) | 22:45 |
| bambu | hi. how do i set my desktop wallpaper as a solid black plain background? i can only seem to choose from a few images | 22:45 |
| dominik | lifecurbed I can't find the dvd iso for 9.10 they are all cd images alternative installs | 22:46 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: you still there - i just found this which might be of some help | 22:46 |
| dom96 | bambu, just make a black image | 22:46 |
| nours | Skylight, let's go :) | 22:46 |
| dom96 | and set it as your desktop background | 22:46 |
| mcr | dkg, yeah, interactively, vs on a command line. | 22:46 |
| dom96 | *desktop wallpaper | 22:46 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: try removing the module from the kernel by doing a "sudo rmmod e1000e" | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. gnome has a thing to set a solid color | 22:47 |
| bambu | i created a black image on office drawing, but it wouldnt work | 22:47 |
| dkg | mcr: vs? | 22:47 |
| dominik | lifecurbed crap I shutdown, give me a min | 22:47 |
| bambu | do i have to create with a certain program? | 22:47 |
| lifecurbed | dominik: follow that by adding it again with - "modprobe e1000e" | 22:47 |
| dom96 | not really as long as it's jpg or png | 22:47 |
| dom96 | but as dr willis is saying | 22:47 |
| dom96 | i think gnome does have an option like that | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | bambu: in the gnome wallpaper settingds pick the first image, then select the color at the bottom of the dialog. | 22:47 |
| geronimo9 | bambu you should have an option of no background image...it appears brown | 22:47 |
| max_ | Hi. I'm having a problem. I cant change to 12hr time. I set that in time/date as 12hr format, and my clock is in 12hr format, but all my programs that look to that to see time/date are all in 24 hour format. | 22:47 |
| usser | bambu, you can change the wallpapers from image to solid color. its in the appearance settings somewhere | 22:47 |
| mcr | most of the tools, sox, mpg123, etc. will take an argument to adjust the playback speed, but they don't let you change that during the playback. | 22:48 |
| geronimo9 | bambu ...then change the colors option to black | 22:48 |
| dominik | lifecurbed thanks ill try in a sec | 22:48 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders who added the fancy 'fade to the new background effect' in gnome... | 22:49 | |
| dkg | mcr: I'm looking for something that can change the speed during playback and allows me to "crossfade" the tracks between sound cards | 22:49 |
| mcr | I get it... | 22:49 |
| === Mike_lifeguard is now known as Mike||gone | ||
| mcr | I don't know of a tool, but I'm not clueful about such things. | 22:49 |
| rainwalker | Dr_Willis: I hate that effect, it doesn't work smoothly or quickly on my computer | 22:49 |
| bambu | ok got it. i got confused cuz i thought brown wallpaper was an image just like the rest and when my wallpaper was set as an image and i messed with the color part, it didnt do anything | 22:50 |
| dkg | mcr: Thankyou for your time all the same. I'll keep googling. | 22:50 |
| crawler | hello. does anyone know if there is a way to execute a key combination at system startup? for example <Super>+F3 or <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F8? | 22:50 |
| antii | safe to use ext4 on my systemdrive? | 22:51 |
| billybigrigger | dkg::: have you tried asking around in #ubuntu-studio? | 22:51 |
| dominik | lifecurbed its not loaded after restart atleast it says it doesnt exist | 22:51 |
| billybigrigger | crawler::: start-up programs? or write a script? | 22:51 |
| dkg | billybigrigger: It didn't cross my mind. Thanks for the advice : ) | 22:51 |
| hvgotcodes | im on 8.10, for some reason when i start firefox, it is maximized with no window decorations and cant be resized | 22:51 |
| dominik | lifecurbed but when I modprobe -l then it shows it | 22:52 |
| crawler | billybigrigger: ithanks, i've looked into basic script writing, but have no idea how to make it execute a key combination :/ | 22:52 |
| Harryy | Okay, hi. Well, I have an Ubuntu livecd, it is not corrupt, and neither is my memory. I go to install it, and I get "/usr/bin/ubiquality-dm line 208 [and] line 114 XServer exited with return code str(status) return code 1." (an error similar to that). | 22:53 |

| billybigrigger | crawler::: what does the key combo execute? | 22:53 |
| tux | q\ | 22:53 |
| crawler | it executes the snow effect for compiz-fusion | 22:53 |
| billybigrigger | crawler::: ahh... | 22:53 |
| crawler | billybigrigger: i've already tried using the python Dbus script, but it won't execute at startup for some reason | 22:54 |
| billybigrigger | crawler::: well im no guru, but i guess you would have to check that compiz was running first, then execute the keystroke combo, so im thinking bash script? | 22:54 |
| hvgotcodes | im on 8.10, for some reason when i start firefox, it is maximized with no window decorations and cant be resized -- is this a known problem? I have no idea how I caused this or what to do about it... | 22:54 |
| billybigrigger | crawler::: yeah, i don't know like i said im no guru, so keep asking around, or google i guess | 22:55 |
| billybigrigger | crawler::: sorry | 22:55 |
| crawler | billybigrigger: ok. [compiz-dbus-send.py snow toggle_key] works to execute snow, but when i add it to startup nothing haooens | 22:55 |
| juan-pablo | medibuntu dont work | 22:55 |
| ctmjr | how would i fix this problem in my user.log http://pastebin.com/m2d62f02f | 22:55 |
| joekarl | hvgotcodes, is it in full screen mode? | 22:55 |
| hvgotcodes | joekarl, nope | 22:55 |

| guntbert | gherald: ask you question, if somebody knows an answer he will tell you | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | 'about video format' is a large topic | 23:03 |

| edbian | abbazabba: Once you have it open it is pretty striaght forward GUI tool. Just make sure that you aren't trying to change the 1st harddrive. (Sometimes the naming is confusing). What are you trying to accomplish with this second drive? | 23:16 |
| abbazabba | edbian: haha true true, understandable, looks like you could do a lot of damage with this | 23:16 |
| edbian | abbazabba: Yeah you could. Just so you know though you can't alter a filesystem (partition) that is mounted | 23:17 |
| abbazabba | edbian: long story short, i have a 60 gig and just added a 20gig, i'm gonna move all my mp3s and movies to the 20gig, back up the important shit, then install ubuntu 9 on the 60 gig and just use the 20 for spare storage | 23:17 |

| abbazabba | should i restart? | 23:18 |
| gherald | in terminal?? | 23:18 |
| edbian | abbazabba: You don't need to restart. You can use the mount command? Would you like me to explain it or just give it to you? | 23:19 |
| rainwalker | I have an Nvidia Quadro, should I install the drivers Nvidia gives for my specific card or go with the one Ubuntu lists in the Restricted Drivers window? | 23:19 |
| usser | gherald, yea, you have to install it first, enable medibuntu repo and just install ffmpeg | 23:19 |
| usser | !medibuntu | gherald | 23:19 |

| gherald | ok | 23:19 |
| gherald | thx | 23:19 |
| edbian | abbazabba: "you can use the mount command" should not be a question | 23:19 |
| abbazabba | edbian: just give it to me first (thats what she said) and if i dont get it i'll ask | 23:19 |
| edbian | abbazabba: well first make a folder to mount it in (this is usually done in /media) so sudo mkdir /media/hdd2 (or something) | 23:21 |
| iluminator101 | quick question whats the name of program that opens packages in ubuntu something like garchive or something | 23:21 |

| jaydedrag0n | okay i have a weird question (sort of about windows) i have a friends laptop that is borked by a virus.. what i want to know is.. can i boot into the ubuntu liveCD.. install a virus program (cuz i know you can install stuff) and then do a full system scan and remove all the crap? or does it not work that way? | 23:21 |
| edbian | abbazabba: It doesn't have to be | 23:21 |
| abbazabba | edbian: ok made | 23:21 |
| edbian | abbazabba: It can be anything you want | 23:21 |
| raylu | jaydedrag0n: that would work | 23:22 |
| abbazabba | edbian: hdd2 it is | 23:22 |
| edbian | abbazabba: Than the actual mount command is sudo mount /dev/sdb<partition number> /media/hdd2 | 23:22 |
| e0n` | there no 8.04 lpia? | 23:22 |
| usser | jaydedrag0n, yea sure, clamav is a pretty good virus scanner | 23:22 |
| edbian | abbazabba: Probably /dev/sdb1 if you only have 1 partition | 23:22 |
| CSSnub | So I'm trying to lockdown rbash a bit for a user's home directory and I mistakenly type "rm -rf .bash_login .bashrc .profile .bash_profile .bash_logout" in the home directory rather than the /home/user directory.

| raylu | jaydedrag0n: it's in the repositories | 23:23 |
| abbazabba | edbian: thank you very much.. one last silly question.. the hard drives are right on top of each other.. think i should worry about them overheating? | 23:23 |
| edbian | So now that partition (entire HDD in your case) is inside the /media/hdd2 folder | 23:23 |
| jaydedrag0n | rockin.. thanks all a bunch!!! | 23:23 |

| edbian | abbazabba: I wouldn't worry about it. If they do overheat all that happens is your system shuts down automatically. If that happens get a bigger case / more fans / move them apart. | 23:24 |
| gherald | s | 23:24 |
| greg | max_ - is the individual settings relating to time no in the program preferences themselves? | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: can you be more specific | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: how are you trying to install it? | 23:24 |
| max_ | greg: no, they all just look at the time/date set by the computer | 23:24 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Fresh install of the Desktop ISO | 23:25 |
| abbazabba | edbian: i just opened it up and there was a folder that said lost+found.. just tried opening it but it said i didn't have permissions.. i'm assuming the best way to get to them is through nautilus? | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: when you have the live session booted up? | 23:25 |
| jophish | is it possible to synchronise two mplayer windows, so the video starts at the same time | 23:25 |
| edbian | abbazabba: hang on one second | 23:25 |
| CSSnub | I have a user bob who can ssh into /home/bob - I've set his shell to rbash so he can't change directories. *But* he can still vi and :shell=/bin/bash :shell to poke around. | 23:25 |
| Joshua_Mayer | You mean how am I booting up the live session? | 23:25 |
| bomex | if I want to use ubuntu on my server instead of windows, what is the replacement for active directory and domain controller that is standard in windows server? | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: well the installer on it sure | 23:25 |
| abbazabba | edbian: and that's good to know, i just didn't want to start a fire while i was gone | 23:25 |
| iluminator101 | quick question whats the name of program that opens packages in ubuntu something like garchive or something | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: the Live session works? ,but then you get a problem with the installer? | 23:26 |
| CSSnub | I want him to have access to his home directory and any subdirectories only | 23:26 |
| linuxguy2009 | Hello again everyone, I have yet another one, I am thinking of restoring my fresh install backup of 9.04 and then making sure the package cache is empty on my hdd, and then install all current updates.Then after that I want to use my Nero Linux 3 to create a multisession Ubuntu 9.04 Updates CD-R with nothing but update packages collected about every few weeks or just once a month when they start realy adding up.My question is when new p | 23:26 |
| binarymutant | jophish, maybe mplayer <file> && mplayer <file> not sure if it will work though | 23:26 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Live Session and the installer both get stuck on the same thing. | 23:26 |
| jophish | thanks | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: which is? | 23:26 |
| e0n` | hmmm I am not finding the lpia binaries for 8.04 anywhere | 23:26 |
| e0n` | can someone link me to it? | 23:26 |
| abbazabba | edbian: i just went to media and tried to change the permissions but they are all stuck on root | 23:27 |
| abbazabba | i have an idea | 23:27 |
| === meme is now known as memememe | ||
| edbian | abbazabba: The lost + found folder is part of the ext3 filesystem. It is used when the system crashes. Linux tries to throw as much stuff in there as possible so that it can be recovered when you reboot. Don't change the permissions | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: your error sounded a bit hum | 23:27 |
| Joshua_Mayer | ---[ end trace 4eaa2a86a8e2da22 ]--- | 23:27 |
| Joshua_Mayer | It stops on that. | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: yeah sounds like an odd error, I have no idea what that is? do you? could Google that | 23:28 |
| jophish | binarymutant, that doesn't seem to run them in parallel | 23:28 |
| edbian | abbazabba: To change the permissions for the rest of the drive (so that you can make new folders / place things alongside lost + found) I can give you another command. Do you want me to explain it or just give it to you?? | 23:28 |
| iluminator101 | quick question whats the name of program that opens packages in ubuntu something like garchive or something | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: so basic quetion time. How much RAM? Which graphics card do you have? | 23:28 |
| linuxguy2009 | Ok i guess I should have shortend that. If I use sudo dpkg -i *.deb within a folder, will dpkg ignore all old package versions in the folder and only install the newest ones? | 23:29 |
| edbian | iluminator101: synaptic? What do you mean "open packages?" | 23:29 |
| Joshua_Mayer | I have 512 ram and a I think I just have a VGA adapter for graphics. | 23:29 |
| usser | CSSnub, hm why would you not let him poke around, whats the harm in that? he cant modify system files, and any private data of other users etc should be protected by permissions anyhow | 23:29 |
| abbazabba | edbian: i just went in as root and changed the permissions for hdd2 hahaha, made it so everybody outside of root could access and change everything (its fine i'm the only one that uses it) | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: how big is the partition it's trying to install on? | 23:29 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Um, hang on. I'll find out. | 23:29 |
| edbian | abbazabba: That's fine. I was going to tell you how to make yourself the owner. (essentially the same thing for you) | 23:29 |
| iluminator101 | edbian:opens packages like tar.gz or tar or any compressed packages like that | 23:29 |
| usser | CSSnub, about the only thing i'd do if you dont want him to write scripts is put his home folder on a separate partition and mount it with -noexec option | 23:29 |
| abbazabba | edbian: i think i might already be the owner but if you want lay it on me | 23:30 |
| abbazabba | if not it's cool | 23:30 |
| edbian | iluminator101: There is the archive manager that will extract them (but won't compile or install the software | 23:30 |
| smacktalk | anyone here use xorp? | 23:30 |
| CSSnub | usser - so the files are by default unchangeable? I'm just trying to secure my system as much as possible and I obviously know very little about security. | 23:30 |
| edbian | abbazabba: sudo chown abbazabba /media/hdd2 | 23:30 |
| iluminator101 | edbian:can tell me what archive manager is called exactly | 23:30 |
| caecus | Hi, is anyone there to help me debug a CIFS issue specific with ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| edbian | iluminator101: file-roller | 23:31 |
| usser | CSSnub, yes all files outside of his home directory are read-only for him, provided he doesnt have sudo permissions | 23:31 |
| iluminator101 | than edbian | 23:31 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Ok. I am installing it on 15gb partition. | 23:31 |
| edbian | iluminator101: NP | 23:31 |
| binarymutant | jophish, try mplayer <file> & mplayer <file> | 23:31 |
| edbian | abbazabba: Do you have any more questions? | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: humm | 23:31 |
| usser | CSSnub, -noexec option basically forbids him from writing his own scripts in his home directory and executing them | 23:32 |
| abbazabba | edbian: i want a better computer. where can i rob one and get off scott free? | 23:32 |
| edbian | abbazabba: lmao. Tiger Direct? | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: your installing in a virtual machine? | 23:32 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Yes. | 23:32 |
| abbazabba | edbian: alright i'm gonna buy the panty hose for my face meet me there at 1130 haha | 23:32 |
| saif | hello please i can't make work my bleutooth using ubuntu on my laptop and i dont know what to do | 23:32 |
| abbazabba | thanks alot man enjoy! | 23:32 |
| jophish | binarymutant, That just ones one window, it snot a problem though, I fixed it by getting the videos to loop, and pausing one to let the other catch up | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: I googled your error on Google, and that's how I found out | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: that's the kind of thing you should have told me, when I was asking basic questions | 23:33 |
| edbian | abbazabba: ?? I am not part of this. | 23:33 |
| CSSnub | usser - ty. I'm also having a hard time logging in with sftp. Filezilla says I've connected but then gives error "Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP on server: could not connect". Is there something I need to do to install SFTP? Isn't SFTP just using SSH (which I've installed)? | 23:33 |
| usser | CSSnub, unfortunately noexec only works per partition. you dont want to mount your / or /home partitions with noexec it'll break stuff. | 23:33 |
| jophish | this is just temporary before I stitch them properly | 23:33 |
| iluminator101 | edbian:negative thats not it....what i mean is what is program that executes extract here when you right click | 23:33 |
| jophish | thanks for you help anyway | 23:33 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Sorry. I didn't think it mattered. | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: well I was thinking, what is this trace error, never heard of this, so wanted to Google and find out, which I suggested you did as well a little while ago | 23:33 |
| usser | CSSnub, yes sftp is part of ssh, try using putty for sftp if you're connecting from windows machine. or sftp from linux. it gives more descriptive errors | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: which virtual machine program? | 23:34 |
| foureight84 | what type of timestamp is this? 2009-05-22T08:41:41.6603414+10:00 | 23:34 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Windows Virtual PC 2007 | 23:34 |
| edbian | iluminator101: What happens if you open file roller and then try to open that folder? (the .tar.gz one) | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: oh dear | 23:34 |
| iluminator101 | its fileroller thanks | 23:34 |
| Joshua_Mayer | I'll download another one. | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: well it's the Microsoft one, also the first link that came up was to do with it | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: Virtualbox :) | 23:35 |
| iluminator101 | i am on debian...i used to use ubuntu. | 23:35 |
| edbian | iluminator101: Problem solved?? | 23:35 |
| iluminator101 | yes thanks | 23:35 |
| edbian | iluminator101: Doesn't debian rock?!?! | 23:35 |
| usser | indeed | 23:35 |
| edbian | iluminator101: NP | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: yes try Virtualbox, why in a vm by the way? | 23:35 |
| usser | debian rocks | 23:35 |
| edbian | :D | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: ideally Windows should be in a vm, or no Windows at all :d | 23:35 |
| Joshua_Mayer | I'm just want to test Ubuntu before I dual boot with windiws | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: I know vm's can be good to try out OS's that you haven't used before, but I hope you put Ubuntu or another distro on your computer for real | 23:36 |
| iluminator101 | debian is awesome...but there is a much bigger learning curve than ubuntu | 23:36 |
| CSSnub | usser - Putty will let me SSH in without errors | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | Joshua_Mayer: well depending on what Windows programs you want to use, you may not even need to dual boot Windows, because a virtual machine will do it | 23:36 |
| edbian | iluminator101: yeah. You need to know linux and not just ubuntu :D | 23:36 |
| CSSnub | which is not exactly my goal - I want them to use an ftp client | 23:36 |
| foureight84 | 2009-05-22T08:41:41.6603414+10:00 i can see that this is a utc / posix style but i don't know what the +10 is | 23:36 |
| Joshua_Mayer | If I like it in the VM, I will be putting it on my computer. | 23:36 |
| Joshua_Mayer | Cya | 23:36 |
| iluminator101 | i know i am working on it edbian | 23:36 |
| CSSnub | oh sorry :( didn't see the sftp client | 23:37 |
| david__ | does linux use the amd dual core optimizer? | 23:37 |
| usser | iluminator101, not if you start with debian. its all oh so very nice, no hand holding no files getting modified without your permissions just cause ubuntu thinks its ok to mess with configurations | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | edbian illuminator101 indeed Linux is way more than just Ubuntu | 23:37 |
| usser | CSSnub, filezilla is an ftp client? yea it wont work with sftp. sorry i never used filezilla | 23:37 |
| edbian | yeah | 23:37 |
| usser | CSSnub, there's tons of gui clients for sftp as well | 23:37 |
| iluminator101 | i know usser i went from mint to ubuntu to debian....it progression and work in progress | 23:38 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | Does anyone know when the 3.0.11 version of FF will be out in the package manager? | 23:38 |
| edbian | iluminator101: How is mint? | 23:38 |
| heuqw | Hi do some one have a guide to get bluetooth handsfree work in ubuntu, i'm gonna use my device only on ventrilo /teamspeek. And all other sounds in the pc speakers. | 23:38 |
| usser | CSSnub, here you go http://winscp.net/eng/docs/screenshots | 23:39 |
| iluminator101 | edbian:mint is for grannies | 23:39 |
| sebsebseb | !ot | edbian and iluminator101 | 23:39 |
| ubottu | edbian and iluminator101: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:39 |
| chomwitt | in jaunty network remix in a netbook i can see the desktop icons (home,trash..) with changing gconf-edit's nautilus-desktop options | 23:39 |
| racecar56 | what is the last ati radeon 9xxx to support open drivers? | 23:39 |
| chomwitt | cant | 23:39 |
| edbian | sebsebseb: Yeah yeah yeah. Mint is LIKE ubuntu. Close enough right?? | 23:40 |
| CSSnub | usser - OK Putty gives me the same error. "Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect" | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: it's based on Ubuntu | 23:40 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | Does anyone know when the 3.0.11 version of FF will be out in the package manager? | 23:40 |
| CSSnub | Yet I can still SSH in | 23:40 |
| dahump | Can anyone help a noob with a networking question? | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | CoJaBo-Aztec: it might not be | 23:40 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | ? | 23:40 |
| racecar56 | CoJaBo-Aztec, they are testing, it will come soon | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | CoJaBo-Aztec: they might have put the patches into 3.0.10 or something | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | CoJaBo-Aztec: Ubuntu only do security updates in the repo | 23:41 |
| sebsebseb | CoJaBo-Aztec: and then newer programs each release | 23:41 |
| sebsebseb | CoJaBo-Aztec: versions of, or ppa's or whatever for those that know how to install later stuff themselves | 23:41 |
| Hajuu | Impossible.. | 23:41 |
| Flannel | sebsebseb: 3.0.0.11 is a security update. It'll be done. | 23:41 |
| racecar56 | 3.0.11 | 23:42 |
| XeNiX | hello all i tried to fix my compiz and i think i did a mistake :s kde is not running when i do startx it is fvwm who run anyone can help me | 23:42 |
| Flannel | right, sorry. | 23:42 |
| maxman | does anybody use Pavilion dv5? | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: yep that's what I thought, but I think at least once, the number stayed on some older number, when Firefox was on two or more later numbers | 23:42 |
| wolfgang | i have a question about se linux, it doesn't come installed in ubuntu right? also will it password protect folders? | 23:42 |
| racecar56 | you forgot how the 3's removed a 0 | 23:42 |
| fivetwentysix | Is there a ubuntu package for firefox 3.5? | 23:42 |
| usser | CSSnub, hm that is weird, maybe it has something to do with rbash setup that you did so far? | 23:42 |
| racecar56 | maybe in the universe | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | fivetwentysix: I think there's a ppa | 23:42 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | .11 fixes some pretty severe issues, so I ccertainly hope it would get releases ASAP. | 23:42 |
| racecar56 | fivetwentysix, there IS a ppa | 23:43 |
| Flannel | sebsebseb: That's just version numbers internal to Ubuntu, doesn't make much difference | 23:43 |
| racecar56 | fivetwentysix, ubuntu-tweak is one way... | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: ah ok | 23:43 |
| DFade | wolfgang: anything is doable ;) | 23:43 |
| XeNiX | anyone can help me please | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | XeNiX: with what? | 23:44 |
| kbrosnan | fivetwentysix: you can download from mozilla.com and run it from your home folder as well | 23:44 |
| XeNiX | why when i do startx it is fvwm who start and not kde ? | 23:44 |
| imatech | anyone here use xorp? i'm getting an error that Failed to connect to the router manager | 23:44 |
| fivetwentysix | kbrosnan, but I won't have flash support | 23:44 |
| usser | XeNiX, whats in your ~/.xinitrc file? | 23:44 |

| sebsebseb | arthur_: try ##hardware | 23:44 |
| arthur_ | ty | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | np | 23:44 |
| DFade | arthur_: you'll probably have to reach for the jumper pin on your mother board | 23:45 |
| XeNiX | usser : nothing it dont existe :s | 23:45 |
| kbrosnan | fivetwentysix: plugins won't be an issue. though mozilla only creates builds for 32-bit. so if you are on x64 ppa | 23:45 |
| arthur_ | its a laptop...... | 23:45 |
| aleskandro | hi all | 23:45 |

| DFade | arthur_: personally, I'd contact the supplier and ask for the default password, if it's of any use | 23:46 |
| usser | XeNiX, theres also a global initialization script somewhere in /etc/X11 | 23:46 |
| racecar56 | XeNiX, more info | 23:46 |
| david__ | i need help making my dvd burner show up in Ubuntu 9.04 | 23:46 |
| aleskandro | I've a intel gm965 video card, when I run glxinfo it say that Direct Rendering is enabled but if I try to do compiz --replace, I receive glx not present, why? | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | !intel | aleskandro | 23:46 |
| ubottu | aleskandro: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 23:46 |
| Dimitree | Help ... I tryed to install Phpbb3 with Synaptic on a fresh ubuntu desktop and after giving password for the MySQL it returned an error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket", now even when i installed Xchat it spowned the MySQL configuration GUI, which after being aborted it installed Xchat.Can someone try to install LAMP or Phpbb3 on 9.04 and tell me what's wrong with it and how to fix it ? | 23:47 |
| XeNiX | i tried to fix compiz coz the ccsm is not running , i dont know what i do on synaptic , and now when i do startx on each reboot it is fvwm who run not kde :s | 23:47 |
| aleskandro | sebsebseb, thanks a lot | 23:47 |
| sebsebseb | Dimitree: try #php | 23:47 |
| dahump | I can see my windows network and my other pc's but when I double-click on them I get the error message "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server". I have been able to mount the location in the past. | 23:47 |
| sebsebseb | aleskandro: np | 23:47 |
| Dimitree | sebsebseb: are they responsible for the Phpbb3 packages and configs provided in the ubuntu repository ? | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | aleskandro: well I was just guessing that whatever that is, is to do with your issue | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | Dimitree: no | 23:48 |
| XeNiX | anyone can help me ? | 23:48 |
| Dimitree | sebsebseb: then what's my business there ? | 23:48 |
| usser | XeNiX, just put startkde in your ~/.xinitrc | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | Dimitree: Ubuntu just put in PHP and such from upstream I think | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | Dimitree: people here also aren't responisble for what goes in the repo | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | Dimitree: maybe you want #ubuntu-devel or something | 23:49 |
| Flannel | sebsebseb: That's not what his question is about at all. | 23:49 |
| XeNiX | usser: ~/.xinitrc dont existe | 23:49 |
| Dimitree | sebsebseb: ok i will try my luck there thanks | 23:49 |
| usser | XeNiX, create it | 23:49 |
| dahump | Noob here. In Ubuntu 9.04 I can see my windows network and my other pc's but when I double-click on them I get the error message "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server". I have been able to mount the location a few days ago, but I don't know what changed. Any advice? | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | Dimitree: wait | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | Dimitree: Flannel may be able to help | 23:49 |
| Dimitree | ok waiting | 23:49 |
| Flannel | Dimitree: Did you follow the instructions here (about setting up a MySQL root password, etc): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 23:50 |
| DFade | dahump: I'd go for a Samba network :) | 23:50 |
| david__ | need ubuntu 9.04 to see my dvd burner | 23:50 |
| Dimitree | Flannel: my question is "Why the package for LAMP and/or Phpbb3 in the repository is broken and doesnt work" :) | 23:50 |
| dahump | I set up Samba so I could share my ubuntu home directory and it works great. | 23:50 |
| XeNiX | usser : can u gimme an exemple pastebin.ca | 23:51 |
| XeNiX | :s | 23:51 |
| Dimitree | Flannel this password is required during installation process | 23:51 |
| usser | Dimitree, yea its a sad state of affairs, phpbb is not the only one, gallery2 is broken beyond belief on jaunty | 23:51 |
| sjlkg | hi, does anyone know how to permanently disable the "consider recommended packages as dependencies" option in synaptic? | 23:51 |
| Hajuu | Impossible.. | 23:51 |
| usser | XeNiX, http://pastebin.com/f7849acf9 | 23:51 |
| Dimitree | Flannel: but after providing the passwords it spowns the error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket" and asks for abort retry and so on, when closed, i can't even Uninstall the whole thing because the configuration dialog appears all the time evenw hen removing it | 23:52 |
| Flannel | Dimitree: Have you tested PHP/MySQL separately from phpbb3? | 23:52 |
| usser | XeNiX, thats my .xinitrc see last line it launches the window manager, you can skip everything and have just one line startkde in it | 23:52 |
| Dimitree | Flannel: right now i can't "test" anything related to PHP MYSQL and so on, simply because i Can't even remove the LAMP packages, as i said it spowns the configuration dialog, it spowns this dialog even when i installed Xchat right now | 23:53 |
| dahump | Noob here. In Ubuntu 9.04 I can see my windows network and my other pc's but when I double-click on them I get the error message "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server". I was previously able to mount the drive after being prompted for username and password. Then, I installed Samba so I could view Ubuntu home directory from Windows network. Could that be the problem? Also, it seems like I used to have | 23:53 |
| dahump | a menu item called "Accessing Remote Systems", or something like that. | 23:53 |
| Dimitree | Flannel: and this is on a fresh ubuntu desktop install, and this is the second install btw i reinstalled it just to make sure i didnt do something wrong | 23:53 |
| Dimitree | Flannel: just go to Synaptec and try to install LAMP or Phpbb3 package to see what i mean | 23:54 |
| VCoolio | usser: sometimes you end a line with &, sometimes not; what's the rule? | 23:54 |
| Brandano | hello, I am trying to cross-compile mplayer 32 bit on an amd64 with 8.10 multilib etc. managed just fine in the past, but currently I am having trouble because I am missing zlib. Is there a package for multilib that provides it? | 23:54 |
| Flannel | Dimitree: I've already got LAMP installed, and I'm also on 8.04, so that wouldn't work. What dialog is this that comes up with whatever package management stuff you do? | 23:54 |
| XeNiX | usser : let me try | 23:54 |
| DFade | dahump: your Windows Samba shares setup alright? | 23:54 |
| Dimitree | usser: are these packages ok on the previous version of ubuntu ? | 23:54 |
| aleskandro | but is not there ctrl+alt+backspace function in jaunty? | 23:55 |
| Flannel | !dont zap | aleskandro | 23:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dont zap | 23:55 |
| Flannel | !dontzap | aleskandro | 23:55 |
| ubottu | aleskandro: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 23:55 |
| Dimitree | Flannel the dialoge where you set MYSQL password, Database password, and so on passwords | 23:55 |
| usser | VCoolio, & puts the program in the background, some programs terminate, some run indefinetely if the program that is run indefinetely is not put in the background it will take over the shell and prevent other programs from being executed | 23:55 |
| Flannel | Dimitree: and, do you do input them? | 23:55 |
| usser | Dimitree, nope also broken | 23:56 |
| Flannel | Dimitree: I've never seen that dialog before. Is this for phpbb3? | 23:56 |
| Dimitree | usser: should i install Ubuntu server with LAMP and then add the desktop enviroment will that work ? | 23:56 |
| XeNiX | usser: is not working cause startkde is not found :s | 23:56 |
| racecar56 | VCoolio, e.g. 'firefox' will run firefox but you can't execute stuff in that shell until firefox is completely done | 23:56 |
| Dimitree | Flannel: one sec i will give a screenshot | 23:56 |
| raylu | usser, VCoolio: you can stop an already-running program with ctrl+z and then run it in the background with bg | 23:56 |
| Flannel | Dimitree: It'll be the same thing. Lets just fix this one. | 23:56 |
| usser | XeNiX, you sure you havent uninstalled kde by any chance | 23:57 |
| XeNiX | usser: let me re install it ? | 23:57 |
| racecar56 | VCoolio, firefox & makes a 'job', you can use the shell for other stuff but the output of firefox will be put there | 23:57 |
| Flannel | sjlkg: I'm not sure if you can do it via synaptic, but it is in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu | 23:57 |
| XeNiX | usser: maybe cause i played with kde packages:s | 23:57 |
| usser | Dimitree, i had no problems with installing lamp, i'd suggest do a standard lamp install then get phpbb from the maintainers site | 23:57 |
| Flannel | sjlkg: that is, you can do it there. | 23:57 |
| raylu | racecar56: how do you prevent the output from showing up without redirecting to null or similar? | 23:58 |
| fixxxermet | Hi everyone. Just upgraded my e1000 driver to 8.0.9. After rebooting, lshw says the driverversion is back to 7.3.21. How can I keep the new driver after reboot? | 23:58 |
| racecar56 | raylu, not sure | 23:58 |
| VCoolio | racecar56: i know but this was about xinitrc; why doesn't conky need an & then? I assume that is run permanently? | 23:58 |
| usser | Dimitree, the gallery2 from packages was very quirky as soon as i killed and installed the version from the site it worked smoothly | 23:59 |
| usser | VCoolio, conky goes into background automatically | 23:59 |
| racecar56 | VCoolio, yeah... i guess | 23:59 |
| VCoolio | ah I see, nice. Ok, thx for the update | 23:59 |
