| AndryZ | I dunno what happened | 00:01 |
| AndryZ | but it's an atheros adaptor | 00:01 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: All configuration for pretty much every program is kept in either /home/.programname (hidden files) Or in /etc/<something> | 00:01 |

| mike222 | you can mount the existing partition | 00:04 |

| bastidrazor | xcerca, recursive .. it will include all directories | 00:24 |
| xcerca | ok cool , thanks | 00:25 |
| Eevee | err cp will copy the files, not the list | 00:25 |

| Cmclean | billybigrigger: sure | 00:52 |
| Bootee | how can i add a boot partition to the ubuntu boot loader (grub i think)) | 00:53 |

| Eevee | Cmclean: was this through a web browser? | 00:54 |
| arand | Xet: Yea, normally there a re several superfluous options in the volume control... One reason could be if you have some internal mic working along as well? | 00:54 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: its running 9.04 server, 40gb hdd, 1gb ram, running apache/mysql/php/dovecot/postfix/webmail | 00:54 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: runs like a top | 00:54 |
| bastidrazor | TheMG, just the bin.. the bin will have to know where its files are. | 00:54 |
| Cmclean | Eevee: yes | 00:54 |
| Eevee | Cmclean: was probably cpanel or such then | 00:54 |
| TheMG | bastidrazor: its files are all on my memory stick | 00:54 |
| TheMG | bastidrazor: im doubting it knows that | 00:54 |
| Xet | arand: that's what I don't know, the internal mic thing,sorry I'm a newbie | 00:54 |
| Cmclean | billybigrigger: so you mean that is a picture of your desktop and it is communitating to your server through something? | 00:55 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: no that is the server | 00:55 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: in virtual box :P | 00:55 |

| xcerca | eevee can i pm you real quick ? i just need some help with a command ? | 00:55 |
| Cmclean | billybigrigger: why virtual box? | 00:55 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: it replaced my old pentium server, that was a loud ass energy hog | 00:55 |
| Eevee | xcerca: why not ask here? | 00:55 |
| bastidrazor | TheMG, you could symlink the bin and leave the original where it is. | 00:55 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: better on the environment than have an old pos computer sitting in the corning of my room being loud and wasting power | 00:55 |
| Cmclean | billybigrigger: what do you mean by webmail? | 00:56 |
| Eevee | Cmclean: I don't think it's hard to set up, but honestly I prefer to run without it | 00:56 |
| arand | Xet: well internal mics are sneaky anyhow, what happens if you disconnect the external mic and talk, they hear anything? | 00:56 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: http://webmail.thefrozencanuck.ca | 00:56 |
| bastidrazor | TheMG, sudo ln -s /path/to/binfile /usr/local/bin/binfile | 00:56 |

| webpigeon | Cmclean, the easyest way is to find a free website, there is only about... oooh, 20 billon free hosts out there. | 00:59 |
| billybigrigger | Cmclean::: then its not a server | 00:59 |
| Eevee | billybigrigger: what about windows server :P | 00:59 |
| Cmclean | Yah how good is windows server? | 00:59 |
| billybigrigger | Eevee::: haha why would you even ask? | 00:59 |
| Eevee | Cmclean: when they say "no GUI" they mean there's no desktop. you can run web interfaces like cpanel | 00:59 |
| echinos | Ok... i was listening to a network stream, and the sound started jittering. It's still doing it - it sounds like a machine gun, repeating a fraction of a second of sound. I closed the app that was playing the sound, but the jittering is still happening. How can I find out what the issue is and fix it without rebooting? | 00:59 |
| webpigeon | Cmclean, windows server is rubbish | 01:00 |
| Royall | I honestly think that My Chemical Romance just crashed my compiz | 01:00 |
| echinos | I have had these problems before, but not for a couple months | 01:00 |
| Eevee | Cmclean: I hear it's a better desktop than regular windows! but can't speak for how it is as a server. having to use remote desktop to do anything seems like a colossal pain though | 01:00 |
| billybigrigger | webpigeon::: how is running a virtual server the most complicated way to run a webserver? | 01:01 |
| webpigeon | Eevee, why waste rescourses running a desktop on a mashine | 01:01 |
| TwoToneSpirit | I am booted in a Live CD. I have three hard drives - some with multiple partitions. How can I find out (for GRUB purposes) which are called what? (ie hd0, hd1, hd2, etc) | 01:01 |
| webpigeon | billybigrigger, because you've attually got to maintain the server, and he's not talking about an VM, he's talking about running ubuntu-server on old hardware | 01:01 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: sudo fdisk -l | 01:01 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: sda1 = 0,0 in grub | 01:02 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: sda2 0,1.....sda3 0,2 | 01:02 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: sdb1 1,0......sdb2 1,1 | 01:02 |
| billybigrigger | webpigeon::: why waste energy? recycle the old pos server and run a vm | 01:03 |
| billybigrigger | webpigeon::: its not any more complicated that ACTUALLY running a server | 01:03 |
| billybigrigger | and its more EE | 01:03 |
| webpigeon | billybigrigger, thats my point... | 01:03 |
| billybigrigger | webpigeon::: you make it sound like running a virtual server is complicated, when its not | 01:04 |
| webpigeon | billybigrigger, he has 0 experance with servers, so why not get a managed shared host? | 01:04 |
| billybigrigger | webpigeon::: i didn't either | 01:04 |
| TwoToneSpirit | billybigrigger: ...and how can I tell which partition I need to point to for a (shudder) windows installation? I tried setting it to 1,0 which is an NTFS partition that has windows installed, and I get error 22 | 01:04 |
| billybigrigger | webpigeon::: i had my 9.04 server in Vbox running web/mysql/php/dovecot/postfix/roundcube/drupal running in a few hours | 01:05 |
| webpigeon | billybigrigger, because he didn't want to learn how to use terminal, | 01:05 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: sudo grub | 01:05 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: grub> find /grub/stage1 | 01:05 |
| webpigeon | billybigrigger, and i take it before those few hours you didn't know what a server was? | 01:05 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: oh nevermind, i read that wrong | 01:05 |
| billybigrigger | TwoToneSpirit::: you want to run windows? | 01:05 |

| bastidrazor | pw-toxic, use ls -al and you'll see the permissions and ownership.. that should explain it a bit more | 01:08 |

| racecar56 | billybigrigger, i have only a bottom panel | 01:16 |

| hotkoi | anyway i dont know hy they didnt copy the "superbar" | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | jrib: Still about? Maybe you can sort out the off topic | 01:45 |
| hotkoi | its a quite good idea | 01:45 |
| * faileas is running lxde on an old comp. other than it going crazy when apt checks for updates, it works REALLY well | 01:45 | |
| faileas | i don't get how it can handle youtube, and playing movies, and not apt ;p | 01:45 |
| jrib | please stay on-topic guys.... Take non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:45 |
| entraide-net | faileas I maked my Slitaz live usb and I won't live without it | 01:46 |
| Eevee | hotkoi: while I would like to see an improved taskbar, the superbar kinda sucks. it's the ancient "collapse similar windows" from XP etc but with big icons | 01:46 |
| Eevee | but speaking of | 01:46 |
| TheFuzzball | Does anyone know of an in-browser terminal emulator? | 01:46 |
| tyrosine | >> IN ALSA: I have two sound cards (0 and 1), how do I switch their order? (aka: set card 1 as card 0) | 01:46 |
| Eevee | IS there an alternative to the window list panel? | 01:46 |
| alinon | if i run dosbox from terminal it loads my config file just fine, but if i try to use a desktop shortcut i've created it bypasses the config file | 01:46 |
| faileas | entraide-net: tried it, its not bad. but it needs a fair amount of ram in live mode last i tried it | 01:46 |
| jawall | thanks for the flames... | 01:46 |
| jawall | nice support channel | 01:46 |
| alinon | can't figure out why O.O | 01:46 |
| entraide-net | TheFuzzball, try guake on gnome ... | 01:46 |
| TheFuzzball | entraide-net: that's a drop-down terminal, I want a terminal that is inside of my web browser. | 01:47 |
| faileas | TheFuzzball: isn't that a security risk? | 01:47 |
| Eevee | TheFuzzball: umm. why? | 01:48 |
| faileas | i vaguely rememeber webmin might allow you to run commands though, or some other thing that was depriciated | 01:48 |
| TheFuzzball | faileas: kind of, but only if the page isn't encrypted and you don't have a strong password | 01:49 |
| TheFuzzball | Eevee: So I can access my box from computers without puTTY :D | 01:49 |
| TheFuzzball | Eevee: and because it's cool. | 01:49 |
| entraide-net | there is no terminal in browser as far as I know but an old tutorial can embed it on your wallpaper ... | 01:50 |
| faileas | TheFuzzball: well, if you could write an ssh client in java... ;p | 01:50 |
| Eevee | I have in fact seen an ssh client in java | 01:50 |
| halberd | is there another way to switch virtual consoles, besides ctrl-alt- and a function key? | 01:50 |
| TheFuzzball | So far I've found Anytem and Ajaxterm, but there is no package in Ubuntu's repos. | 01:50 |
| Eevee | but I don't know why you'd want to do that instead of use an ssh client | 01:51 |
| TheFuzzball | I remember finding one that was in the repos | 01:51 |
| entraide-net | ctrl+alt+F1 or backspace depend of your needs | 01:51 |
| TomV-415 | I'm using two monitors in separate X workspaces.. After configuring my nvidia settings for that, I have lost my title bar as soon as I enable any visual effects. | 01:51 |
| entraide-net | TheFuzzball just compile a source ... | 01:52 |
| TomV-415 | (title bar for all windows) | 01:52 |
| entraide-net | TomV-415 compiz is a worthless project it was always buggy | 01:52 |
| TomV-415 | I love those rotating cube desktops... any other options? | 01:53 |
| entraide-net | just cut it down for now | 01:53 |
| TomV-415 | rotating cube workspaces that is.. | 01:53 |
| entraide-net | just use it when it's really needed | 01:53 |
| entraide-net | with a shortcut to enable/disable it | 01:54 |
| entraide-net | check www.ubuntu1501.com a little for a decent tutorial ... | 01:54 |

| sebsebseb | racecar56: how? with a 512MB or so SWAP? | 01:55 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, it's a live cd, i dont know | 01:56 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, it's a vbox machine | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: have you already got a swap on there? | 01:56 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, idk how i did it | 01:56 |
| TomV-415 | thanks entraide-net, anyone else have any suggestions - have you seen the titlebar disapear? | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: Vbox with 128MB RAM??? | 01:56 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, its a blank disk | 01:56 |
| entraide-net | compiz project was supposed to die and kde4 is so bloated that most people are using gnome or kde 3 ... | 01:56 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, no no no silly the vm has 128 megs | 01:56 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, my host pc has 1 gig | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: right well Virtualbox does it's virtual RAM differnetly from pshyical RAM | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: or something like that | 01:57 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, umm it ran somewhat (the vm) but it's like hanged | 01:57 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i didn't expect it to work | 01:57 |
| TomV-415 | Does gnome have the rotating cube? | 01:57 |
| Pyrotecnix | yeah | 01:57 |
| Pyrotecnix | sorta | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | TomV-415: no that's Compiz | 01:57 |
| entraide-net | TomV-415 don't dream too much I was having the same problems on many linux distros on a few years ... | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | !compiz | TomV-415 | 01:57 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, what about qemu, is it different with its ram | 01:57 |
| ubottu | TomV-415: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 01:57 |
| hotkoi | another question: how can i find a metadata-file? its not find *.metadata -type f or?! | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: oh been awhile since I did anything with Qemu, but that was fun to do | 01:57 |
| Ganymede | is there a way i can set elevator=noop for internal hard drives only and keep elevator=cfq as the default for USB drives? i'd like to apply the noop scheduler to internal disks as early as possible in the boot process | 01:58 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i am trying to make a remaster | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: I guess same thing for Qemu, also Qemu is an actsaul hardare emulater unlike Virtualbox | 01:58 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, ja | 01:58 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, ya | 01:58 |
| TomV-415 | It all worked great until I split my two desktops.. | 01:58 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i like qemu as it's lightweight but vbox is more fast | 01:58 |
| TomV-415 | (that is using dual monitors, split into two separate x sessions.) | 01:58 |
| Eevee | hotkoi: find . -name \*.metadata -type f | 01:58 |
| hotkoi | thanks! | 01:59 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, trying ubuntu 9.04 again with 256 ram in vbox | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: what's your host OS? | 01:59 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, ubuntu 9.04, what else | 01:59 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, heh heh | 01:59 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, "I don't do windows" | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: well 9.04 in a vm that's a bit boring, Karmic alpha2 would be more fun, oh and Fedora 11 in a vm :) | 01:59 |
| Boom_Farmer | Question: do I download Eclipse from the 9.04 repository, or do I install and compile from source from the eclipse website? | 01:59 |
| halberd | why does runlevel tell me I'm in runlevel 2 (yes I know ubuntu doesn't really use runlevels)? | 01:59 |
| halberd | I have kde running | 01:59 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i don't want my first distro based on karmic yet | 02:00 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i want to try on something stable | 02:00 |
| slashdut | man I hate when some other window manager messes up the alt+-> combination :( | 02:00 |
| halberd | I want to be in runlevel 5, I think | 02:00 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, and i like the 'set focus under mouse' thingy too | 02:00 |
| slashdut | !runlevel | 02:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: whatever that is? | 02:00 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i'm seeing the vbox vm while having xchat in back | 02:00 |
| Eevee | whoa, focus-follow-mouse drives me crazy | 02:01 |
| Eevee | I knock my mouse out of the way all the time | 02:01 |
| jtaji | halberd: redhat-like distros use 3 and 5, debian-like distros use 2 always | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: Xchat hum Konversation :) | 02:01 |
| slashdut | what is runlevel? some permissions perhaps? :P | 02:01 |
| halberd | jtaji, wikipedia says that runlevel 2 on ubuntu has most network services disabled | 02:01 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, umm im not kde and by the way 256 is much better | 02:01 |
| halberd | and that runlevel 5 has a gui login, as well as virtual consoles | 02:01 |
| jtaji | halberd: that is incorrect | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: you can run KDE apps inside Gnome :d | 02:01 |
| halberd | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Ubuntu | 02:01 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i know | 02:01 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, even fluxbox too | 02:02 |
| halberd | and I can't get to any virtual consoles | 02:02 |
| halberd | ctrl-alt-function key doesn't work | 02:02 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, and wmaker (my fave window manager :D) | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: ah ok | 02:02 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, im on gnome now | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: yeah and we were offtopic, but the channel didn't have much life in it either | 02:02 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, i have a bit of an old computer so i like to use wmaker | 02:03 |
| topchef | can someone help my diagnose my wifi issues? | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | topchef: no, but this might be useful | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | topchef | 02:03 |
| ubottu | topchef: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: ah ok | 02:04 |
| topchef | ubottu: i've tried that | 02:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about i've tried that | 02:04 |
| slashdut | topchef: :D | 02:04 |
| topchef | or that is sebseb i've tried it | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | !bot | topchef | 02:04 |
| ubottu | topchef: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 02:04 |
| halberd | how can I check to see if I have any virtual consoles? (attempting to switch to them doesn't work) | 02:04 |
| topchef | i know, i was just responding and reading | 02:04 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, an old compaq sr1010zz #pu166av (the ctos are better =D) i rescued from the trash | 02:04 |
| halberd | is there a command I can run that will list virtual consoles? | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: Puppy LInux will probably work well on there, and DSL | 02:04 |
| jtaji | halberd: ps aux | grep getty | 02:05 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, im sure it would but this thing is good enough to run intrepid | 02:05 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, the most intense (i think) one | 02:05 |
| ubnewbee | anyone know when 8.04 will stop being supported offhand? It works well with my PCMCIA wireless card without me having to do a thing to it or the OS. | 02:05 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Well, now I | 02:05 |
| ctmjr | !llts | 02:05 |
| TwoToneSpirit | well, now I'm just getting the grub menu when I boot. | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about llts | 02:05 |
| slashdut | topchef: i would like to help you, but could you explain your problem? | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | racecar56: Intrepid is good, but sadly suppourt on the desktop runs out next April | 02:05 |
| jtaji | ubnewbee: august 07 for desktop | 02:05 |
| topchef | no matter what i try to do i can't get it to link up to my wifi router(though the computer i'm typing on right now is on the same router) | 02:05 |
| halberd | jtaji, that says I do have tty1-6 | 02:05 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, don | 02:05 |
| ctmjr | !lts | 02:05 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Herron 8.04) | 02:05 |
| TwoToneSpirit | I mean I'm getting a grub prompt when I boot. | 02:05 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, don | 02:05 |
| racecar56 | sebsebseb, ARG | 02:05 |
| FloodBot3 | racecar56: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:06 |

| ubnewbee | should give me enough time to work out the details with 9.04, I appreciate the answer, thank you. | 02:09 |
| slashdut | owen1: I cant change window in irssi | 02:09 |
| topchef | slashdut it just says "the network connection was disconnected" | 02:09 |
| owen1 | slashdut: is it working with /window move # | 02:09 |
| topchef | it sees the router in the wifi router list | 02:09 |
| slashdut | owen1: yes | 02:09 |
| owen1 | slashdut: what terminal are u using? | 02:09 |
| ubnewbee | Also need to get a kernel version that VMWare workstation will work with, 9.04 wasn't recognized and too much pain to configure VMWare for. Is VirtualBox supported under 9.04? | 02:09 |
| slashdut | owen1: Terminator | 02:10 |
| owen1 | slashdut: can u try something else? i use xterm/urxvt and it's ok | 02:10 |
| slashdut | owen1: yeah I think so | 02:10 |
| slashdut | owen1: but it always worked in 8.10 :P | 02:11 |
| owen1 | slashdut: sorry to hear that. just try with xterm. if it's working it means terminator uses those keys. maybe u can edit the key mapping of terminator. | 02:12 |

| slashdut | owen1: yeah well the funny thing is that its kinda random if it works or not :p...if im lucky it works if not it fails :D | 02:13 |
| tehboriz | i can't boot, my linux says that it has no read permissions to /user/home/ how do i fix that and why did it ask? | 02:13 |

| zuluu | hello, can anyone help me configure my networking | 02:20 |
| entraide-net | MarkTraceur 9.04 is just a stable version to be sure to have all what you need you should stick with the LTS release like 8.04 | 02:20 |
| racecar56 | i see that 9.04 introduces a fade on the desktop when switching backgrounds, is gnome turning into.... BLOATED KDE?? | 02:20 |
| slashdut | MarkTraceur: sry I dont really understand the question :P.... do you meen that it is possible to drag folders with right click?:P | 02:20 |

| akravets | any ideas? | 02:55 |
| KyleK | q0_0p: either dmz your linux box or route/forward/redirect (gotta find the right word for it in the routers interface) and make port 22 go to your linux box | 02:56 |
| q0_0p | ah | 02:56 |
| johnzw | Rister: do you still have your Ubuntu cd? | 02:56 |
| q0_0p | i get it | 02:56 |
| q0_0p | have to enable dmz on the router | 02:56 |
| KyleK | also some isp block port 22 | 02:56 |
| q0_0p | why | 02:56 |
| KyleK | q0_0p: dmz is the easiest to do, but forwarding specific ports is more secure | 02:57 |
| q0_0p | so to dmz my linux box i have to do it within the router settings? | 02:57 |
| KyleK | yes | 02:57 |

| johnzw | Hmm. If you used your system restore you may not have Ubuntu any more, "system restore" procedures tend to revert the disc to its exact OEM state | 02:59 |
| mib_qnpno2fg | mine didn't | 02:59 |

| q0_0p | i guess i should've made that clear | 03:01 |

| Rister | Yes | 03:01 |
| billybigrigger | Gahn::: or c | 03:01 |

| Gahn | i wana program ubunutu and change it around, am i allowed to do that? | 03:02 |
| Gahn | or is there a license | 03:02 |
| billybigrigger | gahn go ahead | 03:02 |

| Flannel | q0_0p: What sort of upgrade are you talking about? | 03:06 |
| Animagladius | I did, Flannel, right in the beginning | 03:06 |
| === mib_qnpno2fg is now known as zebra | ||
| billybigrigger | Animagladius::: if you want to go from 8.04 to 9.04 you have to download the 9.04 cd and install that way, or upgrade to 8.10, then 9.04 | 03:06 |
| q0_0p | like packages | 03:06 |
| q0_0p | update packages | 03:06 |
| q0_0p | not a dist-upgrade | 03:06 |
| Animagladius | I think upgrading to 8.10 first is the easier way, right? | 03:06 |
| jrib | q0_0p: you have not read what dist-upgrade means | 03:06 |
| Flannel | q0_0p: update / upgrade will upgrade packages (except kernel stuff usually), for that, you have to use dist-upgrade | 03:07 |
| billybigrigger | Animagladius::: sure | 03:07 |
| Mike94287 | Oh wait, Flannel, it didn't. I misread the output, here it is again: http://pastebin.com/m128dd031 | 03:07 |
| q0_0p | oh ok i guess i should read the man pages for it | 03:07 |
| q0_0p | my bad | 03:07 |
| billybigrigger | wow, if only everyone would say that | 03:07 |
| Flannel | Mike94287: What directory were you in before you started ftp? | 03:07 |
| billybigrigger | i guess i should read the man pages for it | 03:07 |
| billybigrigger | haha | 03:07 |
| Mike94287 | Flannel: I wasn't in any custom directory, the command line looked like mike@mike-desktop:~$ | 03:08 |
| Animagladius | K, got it, thanks! | 03:09 |
| johnzw | Rister: Oh, of course. It might be easiest to leave Grub in place and use it to boot into windows, then you could use a Windows tool (couldn't help you there, haven't used Windows in seven years) to fix the MBR. To do this, I believe that what you have to do is "chain load" the Windows O.S. so... to do that; reboot, and press C for command prompt. and follow the directions under "Load another boot loader" as found here: http://www.linu | 03:09 |
| Flannel | Mike94287: Try this: put /home/mike/Desktop/screenshot1.png screenshot1.png | 03:09 |
| johnzw | Your windows is likely in hd0,0 or hd0,1 (in grub terminology) | 03:09 |
| Mike94287 | Flannel: It worked, thanks :) | 03:10 |
| Flannel | Mike94287: You've likely just uploaded it in ASCII mode though, try "binary" and then that command again | 03:10 |

| knasto | oh wait nevermind ctmjr and thiebaude | 03:28 |
| knasto | its good now | 03:28 |
| bubble | thank you :-) | 03:28 |
| kathe | I am so bored, so I thought I would hang out just incase a question is asked that I might know the answer too, so don't mind me | 03:28 |
| ctmjr | knasto, i removed email help firefox and everything else stayed where it was | 03:28 |
| kaybash | no one knows hot to remove other users processes from ps aux ? | 03:28 |
| kaybash | how* | 03:28 |
| knasto | your right ctmjr, it was my bad | 03:29 |
| thiebaude | knasto: i removed it and added the pidgin icon | 03:29 |
| Gahn | so ubuntu isnt completely free... | 03:29 |
| Gahn | hmm... | 03:29 |
| Gahn | what should i do now? | 03:29 |
| Hammerjak | kaybash: grep? | 03:29 |
| kaybash | Hammerjak: i want to remove other user's process information from ps aux | 03:29 |
| kaybash | remove as in hide | 03:29 |
| kaybash | this is easily done in freebsd | 03:29 |
| Hammerjak | kaybash: grep -v? :) | 03:29 |
| kaybash | but wondering how its done in ubuntu | 03:29 |
| zuluu | billybigrigger, the thing is remote desktop is opened for the other NIC. I have 3 NICs on this PC | 03:29 |
| kaybash | hammerjak, read my question again please. | 03:29 |
| kaybash | when someone else on the machine does 'ps aux' i do not want them to see MY processes | 03:30 |
| kaybash | im not asking how to find a process | 03:30 |
| Hammerjak | ahhh i see | 03:30 |
| kaybash | :) | 03:30 |
| kaybash | in freebsd, its just a single line that goes into /etc/rc.conf | 03:30 |
| Hammerjak | didn't know that. | 03:30 |
| Hammerjak | you know more than i do on the subject :) | 03:30 |
| kaybash | i managed to do it in gentoo a few years ago | 03:30 |
| kaybash | havent done it for a while, was just thinking there'd be an easier way in ubuntu but google returns nothing | 03:30 |
| thiebaude | knasto: i went into buddy list -tools-prefernces-always show tray icon | 03:31 |

| thiebaude | knasto: im back | 03:31 |
| thiebaude | knasto: that's how i close pidgin | 03:32 |
| kaybash | meh | 03:32 |
| knasto | thiebaude, the systray icon for pidgin shows up now withouth the envelope thingy, thanks for your help | 03:33 |

| Barridus | is the terminal command to stop compiz "compiz --replace"? i try it but it sorta breaks the environment | 03:35 |
| === zero is now known as Guest71866 | ||
| ARMENIAN | I installed tracker, but I don't seem to have any type of tool for searching my fiulesa after they're indexed | 03:35 |
| Barridus | err whoops i meant "metacity --replace" | 03:35 |
| Emjay | Hey all Im running ubuntu Jaunty amd64 is there a way to fix flash ? everytime i use it ..i lose sound afterwords and have to reboot...and killing pulseaudio doesntfix it any help would rock! | 03:35 |
| ARMENIAN | Barridus: yeah, I get same thing, you lose the close and minimize and maximize buttons and everythign screwws up right? | 03:36 |
| kathe | Emjay, I killed off pulseaudio, and then reloaded the flash from repositories | 03:36 |
| Hammerjak | Barridus: why don't you install fusion-icon | 03:36 |
| Hammerjak | Barridus: it allows you to switch between metacity and compiz with a tray icon | 03:36 |
| Emjay | install flashplugin-nonfree kathe ? | 03:36 |
| slittle | Any GRUB gurus on this chennel | 03:36 |
| === Guest71866 is now known as zero-jt | ||
| Barridus | Hammerjak, you can't put an icon button in a power manager script | 03:36 |
| ctmjr | Barridus, have you tried the fusion-icon to control compiz? | 03:36 |
| Hammerjak | ah | 03:36 |
| Barridus | i need the command | 03:37 |
| kathe | Emjay, either flashplugin-nonfree and the additional support package or just the adobe one, but my sound didn't work and it would crash until I loaded one or the other again | 03:37 |
| Pici | Barridus: iirc, metacity --replace will remove compiz, compiz --replace for the other way around | 03:37 |
| musikgoat|main | emjay, i've been having very good results with the 64bit flash alpha | 03:37 |
| ctmjr | *i should read before typing | 03:37 |
| Emjay | musikgoat|main, where did you get it from ? | 03:37 |
| Barridus | Pici, i thought so too, but it messes up | 03:37 |
| musikgoat|main | adobe Emjay | 03:37 |
| tech0007 | Barridus, 'metacity --replace &' | 03:37 |

| kathe | wbc I think you need to slip stream your windows and install that first, then install the linux os, and grub can handle it | 03:44 |

| wbc | kathe: Windows is already installed on the hd | 03:45 |
| wellichen | kathe, I'm trying to find it, because I think it is more ease to use than to write on the xorg.conf | 03:45 |
| musikgoat|main | Emjay: first, in firefox, go to about:plugins | 03:45 |
| musikgoat|main | Emjay: and check if you have a shockwave flash plugin registered | 03:45 |
| v | thomc, any clues? | 03:45 |
| thomc | v: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:45 |
| kathe | wbc, great, then you should just be able to install grub ontop and it will take care of it | 03:45 |
| Emjay | i've uninstalled it musikgoat|main | 03:46 |
| Emjay | before i install this 64bit | 03:46 |
| thiebaude | wbc: you going to do a dual boot? | 03:46 |

| Emjay | Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 | 03:51 |
| Mkop | for some reason, when my wireless disconnects, client applications aren't getting told that it disconnected. I initially thought it was a problem with xchat, that it wouldn't try to reconnect b/c it never realized I had disconnected, but then I realized that ssh is doing the same thing as well | 03:51 |
| musikgoat|main | Emjay: cool, test it out | 03:51 |
| Hammerjak | wellichen: what did that application do? | 03:51 |
| wbc | Which command do I use to see whether the HDD's are hd0 or hd1 | 03:51 |
| wbc | ? | 03:51 |
| thomc | G__81: ok. so you can boot the machine, but you don't get a graphical login is that right? but you can start the window manager with the startx command? | 03:51 |
| wellichen | Hammerjak, it is an easy way to choose a proper video driver. | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | wbc: I have missed most of your stuff, but if you got enough RAM and your not going to 3D Windows games or some such, you can virtual machine WIndows inside Ubuntu | 03:52 |
| gunther | wbc: df | 03:52 |

| Hammerjak | wellichen: System -> Preferences -> Display ? | 03:52 |
| G__81 | thomc, it gets into window manager automatically while booting in the text format. ie when i boot the first few seconds i get the Status bar then once it says loading files to boot it gets into text and then after it boots successfully i get back the GDM login and everything works fine | 03:53 |
| G__81 | then on | 03:53 |
| newscane | i'm getting errors when it tries to upgrade the kernel image pkg... an error that suggested root was full... and sure enough, it was | 03:53 |

| wellichen | Hammerjak, There I don't have the option to change the video driver. | 03:53 |

| thomc | G__81: yes, you could try that. It seems to have worked for others with a similar issue. | 03:55 |
| musikgoat|main | newscane: sudo aptitude clean | 03:55 |
| wellichen | bullzeye95, this one is to choose a proprietary driver | 03:55 |
| musikgoat|main | newscane: that will remove old cached packages | 03:55 |
| G__81 | thomc, so can i just do a complete removal and install it again using synaptic? | 03:55 |
| musikgoat|main | newscane: autoclean would be better for you | 03:55 |
| Emjay | musikgoat|main, its odd mozilla will play youtube videos and on the test flash at adobe it works...but still says i need a plugin...so clicking install missing plugin says no plugin ... | 03:56 |

| wellichen | bullzeye95, this application works like an alternative Instead of editing xorg.conf | 03:56 |

| Flannel | susbwoy: I believe the DVD already contains Desktop + Alternate (but only for one arch) | 04:04 |
| jdu | Emjay: which firefox are you using? | 04:04 |
| airtonix | i used to use aoss to prefix my apps i wanted to sahre the oss and also setup, i think i remember seeing something similar for pulse am i wrong? | 04:04 |
| airtonix | oss & alsa* | 04:04 |
| Emjay | jdu, 3.0.11 | 04:04 |
| Emjay | i belive | 04:04 |
| wellichen | Emjay : I really get it working fine when I found a site thats require flash and like a magic the Firefox asked me If I want to install it. | 04:05 |
| jdu | Emjay: 32 or 64 bit? | 04:05 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Any NTFS / partition people here? I can't seem to mount this NTFS partition. | 04:05 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, ntfs-3g | 04:05 |
| bobanBG1973 | Enter text here...ggggjjkkkkl010d010d010d | 04:05 |
| Emjay | jdo_, it was installed with the amd64 jaunty | 04:05 |
| w30 | Emjay, I had flash problems with the synaptic flash but got satisfaction after removing the repository flash and installng the flash from their web site | 04:05 |
| Emjay | er jdu | 04:05 |
| susbwoy | Flannel: yeah just wondering if there is ubuntu software that will let me do it with any ISO. Windows xp cd-iso/ubuntu cd-iso/openbsd cd-iso on 1 dvd for example | 04:05 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: Come again? | 04:05 |
| jdu | Emjay: sorry, then it is probably 32 | 04:06 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, arr u using ntfs-3g? | 04:06 |
| Mike94287 | If I want to make a bash script that constantly checks for a file in a certain directory, would it slow down my computer a lot to have it running all the time? | 04:06 |
| Emjay | isnt there a 3.5 firefox ? | 04:06 |
| jdu | Emjay: I would try w30's suggestion because I don't have problems and i got it from the website. | 04:06 |
| jdu | Emjay: still beta | 04:06 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: You know, I'm not even sure. | 04:06 |
| racecar56 | what happened to firefox 3.1 anywayu | 04:06 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, hmm | 04:06 |
| airtonix | Mike94287, define 'all the time' | 04:06 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, sudo mount /dev/xdyz -t ntfs-3g | 04:07 |
| w30 | Emjay, however I have 64bit | 04:07 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: Using UBCD, I can boot up into a read-only mode where I can see the files in DOS. That's the best I've got | 04:07 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, hm | 04:07 |
| jdu | Mike94287: not if you put a sleep in it. ( ie "sleep 1m") | 04:07 |
| Emjay | w30, is there a way to find out ? | 04:07 |
| Mike94287 | airtonix: every second at most | 04:07 |
| airtonix | Mike94287, ie : every 1min or 2min or 10min or 3hrs? | 04:07 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: I tried that - it gives an error message which I can't remember precisely at the moment. Something like, "This doesn't appear to have NTFS" | 04:07 |
| Emjay | i didnt see in about firefox | 04:07 |
| airtonix | Mike94287, ok | 04:07 |
| wellichen | Emjay : Try, in the Firefox, to go to Tools>Add-ons>Plugins see if you find something about flash installed there. | 04:08 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, maybe try ntfs-3g /dev/xdyz /mountpoint | 04:08 |
| jack_ | im getting the error 'Module dm_mod not found' when running 'modprobe dm_mod' can someone tell me what package I need? | 04:08 |
| Emjay | wellichen, yes of course flash is there | 04:08 |
| Emjay | Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 | 04:08 |
| eross | is there a media player that can read music from my fileserver via SMB? Or should I mount the drive from my fileserver first? | 04:08 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: tried that too - same | 04:08 |
| w30 | Emjay, try http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer | 04:09 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, maybe (dang) mount it with boring plain-old ntfs | 04:09 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, sudo mount /dev/xdyz -t ntfs | 04:09 |
| wellichen | Emjay : The decription of it is "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22". | 04:09 |
| wellichen | Emjay : The decription of it is "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22"? | 04:09 |
| Emjay | yes wellichen | 04:09 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: same | 04:10 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, maybe it's corrupt D: | 04:10 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: This happened when I tried to install grub on it | 04:10 |
| balingup | hi guys - anyone good at proxies, vpns, hacking or wifi mesh & want to help keep intenet up in IRAN????? they need help | 04:10 |
| ctmjr | jack_, did you try sudo modprobe dm-mod? | 04:10 |
| jdu | eross: probably mounting it is easiest, it sticks with the unix philosophy that everything should do one thing well. | 04:10 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: Well, it seems all the files are there as I can see them in DOS | 04:10 |
| TwoToneSpirit | balingup: What kind of help is needed? | 04:11 |
| jack_ | ctmjr: same error | 04:11 |
| Mike94287 | airtonix: If it will slow down my computer, I think a better way to go about it would be to check the directory for a new file (which is all I'm using it for anyway) and to activate something based on whether or not a file exists in that directory. The problem is, I don't know how to make it check for a new file being added to the directory :P | 04:11 |
| jdu | lwindow 6 | 04:11 |
| Hammerjak | Mike94287: what language are you using for this? shell script? | 04:11 |
| wellichen | Emjay : Try remove it. Then install flashplugin-nonfree again from other source. Sorry no more ideas :(. | 04:12 |
| Mike94287 | Hammerjak: yes | 04:12 |
| balingup | twotonespirit - the go there has killed internet !!! couple hundred ppl are feeding VPN, tor & proxies to em | 04:12 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, idk whats going on then..... | 04:12 |
| racecar56 | TwoToneSpirit, chkdsk and reboot two times? | 04:12 |
| Hammerjak | Mike94287: why can't you just do a "sleep 1;" for a one-second sleep within a while loop? | 04:12 |
| roxie | youtube videos lag... anything i can do to fix this??? i am using dell mini 9 with ubuntu netbook remix, 64gb runcore ssd and 2gb ram | 04:13 |
| Mike94287 | Well that's what I was originally going to do but I was worried that it might slow down my computer to have it constantly doing that which is why I came here asking if it would slow down my computer a lot. | 04:13 |
| mermshaus | hi guys! is there anyone who could tell me the address of this "everything ubuntu in a livestream" page? | 04:13 |
| balingup | TwoToneSpirit: also i started feeding info on WIFI mesh to IRAN - think it may be usefull - repeat Internet in Iran is out, quote "ordinary ppl in Iran have no reliable info - gov is trying to break all communication routes - #Iranelection" | 04:13 |
| Hammerjak | Mike94287: no, checking for a file doesn't take long and the 1 second sleep will prevent it from spiking your cpu | 04:14 |
| Hammerjak | Mike94287: if you *don't* put the sleep in there your cpu will sit at 100% | 04:14 |
| Mike94287 | Hammerjak: Okay thanks | 04:14 |
| wellichen | gigi53, are you talking from PUC in Brazil? | 04:14 |

| wellichen | roxie : See if you get some description about the Flash 10.0 (Usually you will find "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22) | 04:19 |
| roxie | k | 04:19 |
| wellichen | roxie : KDE? | 04:19 |
| roxie | i have shockwave flash 9... how doi get 10... or do i need it | 04:20 |
| ctmjr | jack_, i could not find where to get it sounds like the module should be there already, is this for encryption? | 04:21 |
| wellichen | roxie : You don't need it. But you must see if the flash plugin that you have is working properly. By you descriptio it don't seems to work very well. | 04:21 |
| roxie | yeah youtube is still lagging =[ | 04:21 |
| Emjay | ok well flash works for now... | 04:21 |
| damisa81 | i just installed linux (ubuntu) for the first time today, anyone have recommended apps to add on? | 04:22 |
| roxie | the sound is fine... just the video is choppy | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | damisa81: of course | 04:22 |
| Emjay | but i still wont be able to test if it kills the sound untill i figure out how to get pulseaudio back | 04:22 |
| wellichen | roxie : I once installed one plugin that I could only listen the sound but not see anyhing. | 04:22 |
| Hammerjak | damisa81: go to Applications -> Add/Remove... and poke around in that for a while | 04:22 |
| Hammerjak | damisa81: all you have to do is check a box to install apps :) | 04:23 |
| wellichen | roxie : The usual plugin (That use to work properly at almost all cases) is the flashplugin-nonfree | 04:23 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: I pop'd a windows CD in, went to a repair console, and typed "fixboot" - now at least the windows CD can read it. Some progress... | 04:23 |

| wellichen | Frategi : I suggest you to look at the site of who produces it. | 04:30 |

| wellichen | Frategi : Sometimes this things are controled by drivers. | 04:31 |
| racecar56 | i have a chroot system of a ubuntu live cd and when i exit vim it says "E138: Can't write viminfo file /home/racecar56/.viminfo!" how do i make it stop looking for that because there isn't supposed to be anything about racecar56 | 04:31 |
| linuxguy2009 | Can anyone say if I decide to try to use "dd" command, does it only backup used portions of the disk or does it also copy un-needed empty space? Also can the output be piped to gzip or such compression? Will that work as a solution to backup an ext4 Ubuntu install? | 04:33 |
| wellichen | Frategi : Well I need to sleep know (12:33 here in Brazil). See if you find some Stuff in Ubuntu Forums. Good Luck! | 04:34 |
| musikgoat|main | linuxguy2009: dd is a byte for byte copy, it copies even unused bits | 04:34 |
| linuxguy2009 | ok | 04:35 |
| linuxguy2009 | Ill just stick with ext3 then till, part image supports ext4. | 04:35 |
| kewl1 | why wireless connection always slow down after some idle time? | 04:35 |
| musikgoat|main | linuxguy2009: I would suggest tar as a backup your ubuntu install | 04:35 |
| myself | does anyone know how to get the Shell - Queue script to work with Transmission torrent client here http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts it's this one http://pastie.org/357236 | 04:35 |
| mermshaus | sorry for bumping but I'm kind of sitting in front of an e-mail and i'd like to include this bit. does anybody know the ubuntu page that aggregates stuff like blog posts or forum posts into a huge "this is going on in the ubuntu world" live stream? | 04:36 |
| w30 | linuxguy2009, it does copy uneeded empty space however if you 0 out the empty space then a compression of the image will be very small. | 04:36 |
| linuxguy2009 | So besides part image not supporting ext4 and dd backing up un-needed data, is there a decent way to backup an ext4 partition? | 04:37 |
| linuxguy2009 | Yeah but zeroing out probably would take quite a while on a big drive I would imagine. | 04:37 |
| kewl1 | why wireless connection always slow down after some idle time? im on jaunty and with a CCE notebook! | 04:38 |
| musikgoat|main | mermshaus: are you referring to planet.ubuntu.com ? | 04:38 |
| TwoToneSpirit | racecar56: So going into a recovery console (via the windows CD) and using fixboot worked - everything is back to normal and I can now dual-boot | 04:38 |

| Dday | How do i change directory to a folder? | 04:39 |

| mermshaus | musikgoat|main: thx! nope, it included forum posts from the ubuntu forums too. it was some kind of web page like that idea torrent thingy. :) | 04:39 |

| YeTr2 | linuxguy2009: wouldn't take too long to fill the empty space with zeros. however, you could instead use rsync to copy the file system contents onto another system. | 04:42 |
| YeTr2 | Dday: Solid State Disks behave like normal disks. very very small differences, ubuntu should just treat it like any other disk | 04:43 |
| === bc_ is now known as bc | ||

| helper | hello, what is the package name to resize if i got windows XP , i want to install ubuntu but i need to rezie since i want to make /home in one partition! thx | 04:43 |
| linuxguy2009 | well I think writing zeros to 80+GB of drive space would be just as slow as creating an 80GB file Im guessing. | 04:44 |
| TwoToneSpirit | helper: You want to resize NTFS partition? | 04:44 |
| helper | TwoToneSpirit yes | 04:44 |
| YeTr2 | Dday: performance increase comes from the ability to read random speed faster than any mechenical device ever could. that's why it's faster. not because of drivers or anything. | 04:44 |
| TwoToneSpirit | helper: *VERY* risky. I did it once with a utility on the Ultimate Boot CD, but I can't say I advise it. | 04:44 |
| helper | TwoToneSpirit then what should i do ? i got xp want to install ubuntu | 04:45 |
| YeTr2 | hmm | 04:45 |
| helper | TwoToneSpirit i want to make /home parition alone | 04:45 |

| Serpardum | you could change the rights to it so no one but root could look inside it, but you couldn't hide it | 04:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | Im just now seeing that 9.04 has a guest session.Is that like a sandbox environment? | 04:54 |
| Fretegi | what kernel type is in 9.04? | 04:54 |
| edbian | RheaChiQ: If you right click on your own home folder and hit properties and look at permissions you can set it so that "others" meaning (everyone not the owner and not in the group) has no access "none" | 04:54 |
| jdu | RheaChiQ: there is more than one way to change permissions. One can use octal numbers such as 700 or letters such as what you gave. | 04:54 |
| edbian | RheaChiQ: Or via GUI which I explained. | 04:54 |
| jimmyjh | this is a ubuntu 64bit, i've installed all the required codecs etc for dvd playback, but it scrambles the dvd as if it doesnt have the required codecs installed | 04:54 |
| RheaChiQ | jdu : so chmod 700 /home/rhea will solve the problem right? users cannot open it even if i add them to the su? | 04:55 |
| Serpardum | I'm a little worried about this: The partition tables of the following devices are changed: | 04:55 |
| Serpardum | SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdc) | 04:55 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: anyone with root access can do what ever they please. | 04:55 |
| Serpardum | I'm trying to partion my ATA drive, not scsi | 04:55 |
| jdu | RheaChiQ: well, super user can do anything, there's no way to stop that. | 04:56 |
| edbian | RheaChiQ: Wrong. If they can su then they are the root user and the root user can do anything. (including change your or any home folder) | 04:56 |
| RheaChiQ | YeTr2 : if they know the password of the root right? | 04:56 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: root access more or less ignores everything and does what ever it wants. | 04:56 |
| RheaChiQ | edbian : ok | 04:56 |
| jdu | RheaChiQ: however, you could choose sudo to give more limited access rights | 04:56 |
| Mike94287 | Does anyone know of a bash command that will overwrite my clipboard with a variable that I set? | 04:56 |
| jdu | RheaChiQ: sudo can be configured to allow a user only to use specific commands etc. | 04:56 |
| jimmyjh | i am having dvd playback issues, i have insalled libdvdreader libdvdcss etc etc, but it still does not decrypt the dvd | 04:57 |
| edbian | jimmyjh: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/playing-encrypted-dvds-in-ubuntu.html | 04:57 |
| edbian | Look at the AMD64 bit. | 04:57 |
| edbian | Do you have that libdvdcss2 package? | 04:57 |
| Barridus | oops i made a mistake and i think i locked a gconf key that wasn't locked before, can anyone help me solve "Could not change key value. Error message: | 04:58 |
| Barridus | Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/can_suspend' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path" | 04:58 |
| RheaChiQ | edbian YeTr2 jdu this will help then? > jdu: RheaChiQ: chmod 700 /home/rhea | 04:58 |
| kenyon | Mike94287: see the xsel and xclip commands | 04:58 |
| jon5001 | hello. touchpad scrolling has suddenly stopped working on my dell inspiron 9300 laptop running intrepid. have looked at gsynaptics and xorg. all seems fine... can anyone help??? | 04:58 |
| jdu | RheaChiQ: yes, but you can always do it then login as a different user and try to access your files. | 04:58 |
| Mike94287 | kenyon: I tried out xclip just before but it only lets me copy commands, I'll try out xsel | 04:59 |
| RheaChiQ | edbian YeTr2 jdu helper thanks | 04:59 |
| edbian | RheaChiQ: That will make it so that the owner can do anything to the files but nobody else can do anything. Root can still do whatever he wants though. IF your users can sudo then there is pretty much no point in setting up any sort of permissions at all to control them. Do you understand? Root can do anything regardless of persmissions | 04:59 |
| RheaChiQ | edbian : understand | 04:59 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: I would suggest more along the lines of `chmod -R go-rwx /home/rhea` , and then change your umask. If you really want to be paranoid, you could just start encrypting yourself as well. | 04:59 |
| edbian | RheaChiQ: Ok good :) | 05:00 |
| RheaChiQ | YeTr2 how to change to "umask" ? | 05:00 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: sec, let me find the profile. | 05:00 |
| RheaChiQ | YeTr2 thanks :) | 05:01 |
| GreaterCore | what's a good IRC server on ubuntu? | 05:02 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: you can do this in one of two places, you can do it in your own profile, or you can do it in the system profile and it becomes valid for everyone. | 05:02 |
| Fretegi | ur on it | 05:02 |
| edbian | GreaterCore: Got a question? | 05:02 |
| YeTr2 | GreaterCore: irc server daemons are more or less personal preference. | 05:03 |
| GreaterCore | easiest irc server to set up | 05:03 |
| GreaterCore | with nickserv and chanserv | 05:03 |
| edbian | GreaterCore: Did you mean that you want to run an IRC server on your computer? | 05:03 |
| GreaterCore | edbian: yes | 05:03 |
| Mike94287 | kenyon: I can't seem to get it to work with either xsel or xclip | 05:04 |
| starnet | anton | 05:04 |
| kenyon | Mike94287: what are you trying to do? | 05:04 |
| ctmjr | GreaterCore, you might get better answers in #freenode channel | 05:04 |
| Mike94287 | kenyon: I want to write something to my clipboard with a bash script | 05:04 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: to effect everyone, you should edit the /etc/login.defs file as root. in that file, is a variable called UMASK. default on UMASK is (0)022 | 05:04 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: uncomment it(delete the # in front) and change the 022 to 077 to have this setting effect all users. | 05:05 |
| kenyon | Mike94287: those commands will do it. | 05:05 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: your other option is to put this in your personal profile in your '${HOME}/.profile'. doing this will only have the change effect you. | 05:06 |
| Mike94287 | kenyon: xclip works but only with commands, I want it to work for a variable I set in the bash script. | 05:06 |
| kenyon | Mike94287: echo $var | xclip | 05:07 |
| YeTr2 | RheaChiQ: any changes you make will not take effect until you log out of the system entirely. | 05:07 |
| jimmyjh1 | ok i tried that but still not working | 05:07 |
| jimmyjh1 | dvd is still not playing | 05:07 |
| Mike94287 | kenyon: There we go, thanks | 05:08 |
| ctmjr | jimmyjh, what player/s are you using? | 05:08 |
| sam_ | ctmjr vlc and movie player* | 05:08 |
| sam_ | we are trying to fix it for me.. :p | 05:09 |
| jimmyjh1 | ctmjr: tried movie player and vlc | 05:09 |
| Belinrahs | I have a question. Do I absolutely need to burn a disc in order to install Ubuntu (not using Wubi)? I want to dualboot Windows 7 RC and the latest Ubuntu. | 05:09 |
| YeTr2 | Belinrahs: you can also install via thumbdrive. | 05:09 |
| Belinrahs | ahhh that solves my problem then | 05:09 |
| gmachine | I think you can install via jump drive or ftp | 05:09 |
| Belinrahs | Is there any specific way i need to put it on the thumb drive? | 05:10 |
| Belinrahs | for it to boot* | 05:10 |
| YeTr2 | Belinrahs: I think the live disk has a utility to create a bootable thumb drive | 05:10 |
| musikgoat|main | Belinrahs: google install ubuntu with unetbootin | 05:10 |
| Belinrahs | is that the Windows autorun you mean? | 05:10 |
| Belinrahs | alright | 05:10 |
| YeTr2 | but that purpose is self defeating, isn't it? | 05:10 |
| gmachine | belinrahs, you need to configure your BIOS to look @ the jump drive at boot | 05:10 |
| gmachine | Belinrahs: there should be a "how to" on this. | 05:11 |
| w30 | I am running 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and am trying to get a script made to network to my wireless router from the command line not from the gui which works fine. I tried ps to find what the gui does to initiate the wireless but that don't work; Does anyone have a command to start the wireless network? | 05:11 |
| Belinrahs | wow, that Unetbootin looks like an excellent utility | 05:11 |
| Belinrahs | Thanks for the help, I'm going to use that :) | 05:11 |
| ctmjr | jimmyjh, you can try region set read this at the bottom of the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 05:12 |
| Belinrahs | By the way does Compiz Fusion work with 64-bit Linux? Also Wine? | 05:12 |
| cabrey | Belinrahs, yes as long as you have drivers | 05:12 |
| cabrey | also | 05:12 |
| wbc | My Windows XP's HD UUID is 7fb92825-6c25-4821-9be9-f8bf3ae6b75c, how may I add it to GRUB? | 05:12 |

| roxie | i am new to ubuntu.. is there a way to run windows programs on ubuntu??? | 05:13 |
| rohit | hey does google talk work on wine | 05:13 |
| wbc | !wine | roxie | 05:13 |
| ubottu | roxie: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 05:13 |
| rohit | plz tell ,e | 05:13 |
| rohit | yes u can use wine | 05:13 |
| roxie | ok thanx | 05:13 |
| YeTr2 | a better place to determine wine compatibility would be winehq's site. | 05:14 |
| === jdo_ is now known as jdobrien | ||
| w30 | Belinrahs, you need to check out getlibs on the Ubuntu web site; it's a way to install the 32bit libs on a 64 bit system to satisfy 32 bit apps | 05:14 |
| Belinrahs | w30: ok. do you have a link? just curious, i can probably find it but whatever is quicker | 05:15 |
| w30 | Belinrahs, sorry not handy | 05:16 |
| Belinrahs | ok I'll find it :) thx | 05:16 |
| wbc | My Windows XP's HD UUID is 7fb92825-6c25-4821-9be9-f8bf3ae6b75c, how may I add it to GRUB? | 05:16 |
| jon5001 | any touchpad experts here? | 05:16 |
| ectospasm | jon5001: just ask your question. | 05:16 |
| gmachine | wbc: you want to add it to your etc/fstab file I believe | 05:16 |
| gmachine | wbc? correct? | 05:17 |
| wbc | gmachine: Are you sure I don't have to add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 05:17 |
| Fretegi | how stable is ubuntu?? | 05:17 |
| ectospasm | wbc: normally you don't use the UUID for booting a WinXP instance. | 05:18 |
| wbc | Fretegi: Stable enough | 05:18 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, touchpad scrolling suddenly stopped working. dell inspiron 9300 with intrepid. checked gsynaptic, xorg and the internet but do not see the problem referenced or a solution proposed. any ideas? | 05:18 |
| wbc | ectospasm: Then what do I have to add? | 05:18 |
| lstarnes | Fretegi: the LTS versions are probably at least slightly more stable than the non-LTS versions | 05:18 |
| Fretegi | compared to windows? | 05:18 |
| ectospasm | jon5001: you haven't accidentally disabled the scroll bar on the touchpad, have you? | 05:18 |
| wbc | Fretegi: Stable++ | 05:18 |
| ectospasm | I don't have Intrepid anymore, so I can't look for you. (and besides, my laptop has no charge and the power cable is at home) | 05:19 |
| gmachine | wbc: no I think it must be in your menu.lst file also | 05:19 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, accidentally disabled how? gsynaptics tick marks all in order and xorg file is unchanged since a known backup from when the scroll was functioning | 05:19 |
| wbc | jon5001: Are you use you just haven't pushed the "Disable touchpad" button somewhere around your keyboard | 05:19 |
| Fretegi | lol k, ive had it on lappy for about two weeks and really gettin to like it, if i could get a few program glitches fixes i may use it as in lieu of vista | 05:20 |
| phoenixz | I have an SCP problem: when I scp hosta:/file /file, all is okay. When I scp /file hostb:/file, all is okay.. When I scp hosta:/file hostb:/file, I suddenly get a hostkey verification failure.. Why is this? It does not make sense because if I only specify one host (either host a or host b) it works well. with SSH I can access those hosts also without problem. How could I fix this problem? | 05:20 |
| gmachine | how do I paste something in the pastebin? | 05:20 |
| wbc | Ctrl+V | 05:20 |
| ctmjr | !paste | 05:20 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 05:20 |
| wbc | Or rightclick>paste | 05:20 |
| jon5001 | wbc, note: all touchpad functions work. except scrolling. | 05:20 |
| ectospasm | jon5001: like I said, I can't verify this right now, but on my 9.04 UNR netbook I could have sworn I saw an option for disabling the scroll bar on the touchpad in gnome-mouse-properties | 05:21 |
| wbc | jon5001: have you tried scrolling with two fingers? | 05:21 |
| wbc | Ubuntu enables that on some machines | 05:21 |
| jon5001 | wbc, how do you scroll w. two fingers? | 05:21 |
| Fretegi | night guys | 05:22 |
| wbc | jon5001: Use two fingers and have a small space between them while moving them downwards | 05:22 |
| jon5001 | wbc, doesnt seem to be responding to that... unless i am doing it wrong. unfamiliar with that technique but followed your instructuon | 05:23 |
| w30 | wbc, thats cool, thanks for being on Ubuntu and helping out *smile* | 05:23 |
| wbc | jon5001: It does only work on certain computers though | 05:23 |
| gmachine | jon5001: you can enable horizontal and vertical scrolling under mouse/touchpad...I assume if you remove the checks from these boxes you have disabled scrolling | 05:24 |
| jon5001 | wbc, nah. i dont think so. scrolling worked until recently | 05:24 |
| w30 | wbc, works on a inspiron E1505 | 05:24 |
| jon5001 | gmachine, all tick marks are in right place | 05:24 |
| wbc | w30: :) | 05:24 |
| gmachine | jon5001: I'm sorry jon... do you want it to work or not work? | 05:25 |
| gmachine | wbc: did you get an answer to your question about the grub file? | 05:26 |
| wbc | gmachine: Nope, | 05:26 |
| jon5001 | gmachine, I want it to work. it used to work. now it suddenly doesnt. gsynaptics touch pad and mouse settings in gnome are set to enable, and xorg is unchanged from a backup when it worked fine | 05:26 |
| gmachine | jon5001: ok, sorry to be dense. | 05:27 |
| jon5001 | gmachine, and yet it suddenly stopped | 05:27 |
| ectospasm | jon5001: you may need to toggle them off and toggle them back on | 05:27 |
| jon5001 | gmachine, no worries. | 05:27 |
| ectospasm | ...or upgrade to Jaunty | 05:27 |
| wbc | gmachine: Thing is that I do not know what I should add to the menu.lst | 05:27 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, I have tried that. but would i have to reboot in between? that I havent done | 05:27 |
| gmachine | wbc: well, in my grub list my hard drive is mentioned and I don't have Windows installed on the same computer. | 05:28 |
| ectospasm | jon5001: a reboot may be an expedient fix. I had a problem where I disabled mouse clicks on the touch pad, to disable an annoyance | 05:28 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, problem with jaunty for me is no proprietary driver for ati radeon video card and the open source version doesnt make full enough use of it... but thats a whole nother story | 05:28 |
| ectospasm | jon5001: and rebooting fixed the problem that caused. | 05:28 |
| ectospasm | bah, ATI | 05:29 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, note, i have rebooted several times. this has been ongoing for a week. but i havent rebooted in between unchecking the boxes. ie, uncheck, reboot, check, reboot | 05:29 |
| Barridus | is it just me or is jaunty missing most of the sounds ubuntu used to have (trash emptying, etc) | 05:30 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, yeah. the whole ati situation's a bummer | 05:30 |
| ectospasm | jon5001: are you dual booting? If so, does the touchpad scroll bar work as advertised in the other OS? | 05:30 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, nope. intrepid is the only os on this machine | 05:31 |
| froes | hi. is there a way to make the SUPER (windows key) open the desktop menus ? | 05:31 |
| ectospasm | hmmm... so we can't test if the scroll bar on the touchpad has simply failed. | 05:31 |
| wbc | gmachine: could you paste your menu.lst to the pastebin? | 05:31 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, wbc, i will be right back. i unchecked and am rebooting. | 05:34 |
| jaime1 | hey guys how's it going | 05:35 |
| jaime1 | i have a serious problem | 05:36 |
| Dday | Will wine run internet explorer 8? | 05:36 |
| skrite | jaime1, go ahead | 05:36 |
| gmachine | IE8 is horrible | 05:36 |
| RheaChiQ | YeTr2 : ok i think i got it. what website you got it? | 05:36 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: don't preface your question, just ask | 05:36 |
| error404notfound | anyone here tried installing ubuntu on xen server 5.5.0? | 05:36 |
| gmachine | spill jaime1 | 05:36 |
| Dday | gmachine, need it for a microsoft competition | 05:36 |
| ectospasm | Dday: good luck with that | 05:37 |
| gmachine | Dday, what do you need for a microsoft competition | 05:37 |
| Dday | http://www.microsoft.com/australia/ie8/competition/ | 05:37 |
| gmachine | oh | 05:37 |
| ectospasm | Dday: IE8 is new enough where I'd doubt wine could run it well. | 05:37 |
| jaime1 | i went away for vacations leaving my cuz in charge. being new to ubuntu he messed around and did some thing he shoudn't have. now my computer says i have no available memory, which i do. also i cant save documents and i can't open some apps and i can't upgrade to 9.04 because of an "authentication failure" i have no idea what happened to it | 05:37 |
| ectospasm | probably all sorts of libs involved that the wine folks haven't implemented. | 05:38 |
| gmachine | Dday: I'll give you $15,000 not to use IE8 | 05:38 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: did you give him access to your user account? | 05:38 |
| jaime1 | yeah i didn't think he'd mess with it | 05:39 |
| cabrey | oh wow so MS has to bribe users now? | 05:39 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: shame shame | 05:39 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: i know | 05:39 |
| h00k | Dday: 1) you can use User Agent Switcher (thats all they check for and 2) You must live in Australia | 05:39 |
| h00k | Dday: Actually using IE8 isn't necessaryt | 05:39 |
| jelly-bean | my "gnome-screensaver lock" quit working recently. any ideas? it is running | 05:39 |
| gmachine | jaime1: do you have a pre-vacation back up of your system | 05:39 |
| Dday | gmachine, is it in Zimbabwean dollars? | 05:39 |

| jaime1 | ectospasm: and for example like i can open opera, but when i click on the file, edit , view , or any other buttons on the top, it just shows blanks | 05:40 |
| Dday | gmachine, i take you up on your offer :D | 05:40 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: unfortunately i didn't. | 05:40 |
| munk | anyone know much about the pipe command? ie | | 05:40 |
| h00k | Dday: google is your friend: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 | 05:40 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: sounds like he trashed your system. | 05:40 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: is /home on a different partition from /? | 05:40 |
| wbc | May someone please paste their /boot/grub/menu.lst on the pastebin for me? | 05:40 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: that's what i was thinking that maybe he messed with the partitions | 05:40 |
| wbc | With Windows in it | 05:40 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: you'd be in deeper trouble if that were the case. | 05:41 |
| skrite | Is there a way to run ICE WEASEL in Ubuntu ? i cant find it in apt or anywhere else | 05:41 |
| cabrey | skrite, use firefox | 05:41 |
| === joschi__ is now known as Joschi | ||
| ectospasm | skrite: and why would you want to do that when Ubunt CAN use Firefox? | 05:41 |
| munk | is there a way to take the output of a commandline program and use it as a argument for another program? | 05:42 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: yeah i have the linux wich is filesystem ext3 as /dev/sda2. i have like 52 GB unallocated, then the linux-swap as /dev/sda | 05:42 |
| ectospasm | munk: use the pipe '|' | 05:42 |
| ectospasm | munk: cmd1 | cmd2 | cmd3 | ... | 05:42 |
| lstarnes | munk: or program $(other program) | 05:42 |
| racecar56 | got to go | 05:42 |
| Dday | h00k, User agent switcher is only for windows 7 | 05:42 |
| munk | does it pass what ever is in the stdout as an argument? | 05:43 |
| Dday | *IE 7 sorry | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | munk: you can use $() or `` to capture output for use bu another command | 05:43 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: you're screwed then, since you don't have a separate /home partition. I'd suggest a format and reinstall. | 05:43 |
| toortoor | what is the command for the default ubuntu document reader? | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | munk: | captures one program's stdout and directs it into the other's stdin | 05:43 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: you can try to move your important files to another system/external HD, but good luck | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | toortoor: evince? | 05:43 |
| cabrey | toortoor, evince | 05:43 |
| w30 | We are sorry, but your Operating System is not supported by the ninemsn Optimised version of Internet Explorer 8. | 05:43 |

| jaime1 | ectospasm: yep that's what it looks like. oh well thanks man. i'll probably just save everything to an external, then just reinstall | 05:43 |
| munk | what if I need the output to be passed as an argument when the second program is loaded | 05:44 |
| toortoor | lstarnes, cabrey: ok thanks | 05:44 |
| gmachine | jaime1: and kick your cousin in the rear | 05:44 |

| lstarnes | munk: stdin is like typed input | 05:45 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: one more question. when i reinstall, how do i make the /home partition. i had my friend install it for me. i mean i'm knowledgeable in linux, but not in that part of the installation process | 05:45 |
| s|k_` | hrm | 05:45 |
| h00k | !home | jaime1 | 05:46 |
| ubottu | jaime1: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 05:46 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: just create separate / and /home partitions. You should have the option for choosing the mount point of a given partition | 05:46 |
| h00k | sleep. peace. | 05:46 |
| munk | so if I am writing a program called "gettimeindex" that generates arguments for the program "transcoder" is there a way to pass the arguments? | 05:46 |
| lstarnes | munk: transcoder $(gettimeindex) | 05:47 |
| bullgard4 | skrite: Ubuntu repositories provide you with Firefox. If you have reasons to stick to Iceweasel try to find Debian repositories providing Iceweasel packages. I doubt that it makes sense to install them in your Ubuntu operating system. You better switch over to Debian entirely then. | 05:47 |
| ectospasm | munk: what do you mean "arguments" | 05:47 |
| === ubuntu is now known as thePuppeteer | ||
| gmachine | jaime1: read through a guide that tells you have to set up the difference partitions / /var /tmp /home etc | 05:47 |
| gmachine | *how | 05:47 |
| ectospasm | munk: normally you just pass the stdout of the first program to the stdin of the second. | 05:47 |
| unop | munk, maybe. transcoder "$@" | 05:47 |
| munk | like when you load transcoder it has arguments like "transcoder -a -more arguments -blah" | 05:47 |
| ectospasm | munk: you'd have to specify those extra arguments when you invoke the commands. | 05:47 |
| unop | munk, "$@" contains the arguments passed to this script .. you just pass them on using it | 05:48 |
| ectospasm | like: tar -xvf - file1 file2... | bzip2 -c tarball.tar.bz2 | 05:49 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: yeah thanks man i'm looking at a page which should help. i just gotta go get my external HD from my gf so i could save the important stuff. oh well, that's what i get for trusting a windows user:) thanks for all the help and see you guys later. | 05:49 |
| The_warlock | can anybody suggest me a good window manager which supports themes? | 05:49 |
| ectospasm | The_warlock: GNOME ? | 05:49 |
| thePuppeteer | I am on the liveCD and am formatting the HDD, sda1 i managed to delete, but with sda2/sda5, gparted will not give me the option to touch, is there a way around this? | 05:49 |
| lstarnes | The_warlock: maybe compiz | 05:49 |
| unop | gnome isn't a window manager | 05:49 |
| The_warlock | ectospasm: other than gnome and kde i.e :D | 05:50 |
| unop | The_warlock, fluxbox | 05:50 |
| ectospasm | The_warlock: only other one I'm familiar with is fluxbox | 05:50 |
| munk | unop: where can I find out more about $@? | 05:50 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: wait one more quick q. can't i just create a new /home partition? | 05:50 |
| ectospasm | ...although all the *Steps should work, too | 05:50 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: if you've got free space (which you said you did earlier), yeah | 05:51 |
| unop | munk, you are writing a shell script i assume? bash? | 05:51 |
| jon5001 | ectospasm, performed the following: uncheck, reboot, check, reboot... no joy | 05:51 |
| nathaniel1 | hello | 05:51 |
| nathaniel1 | I have a problem | 05:51 |
| munk | no I am writing a c++ program that analyzes a sound file and then passes a certain time index to transoder | 05:51 |
| nathaniel1 | my screen resolution sinece some days now is very below what it used to be | 05:52 |
| sagaci | when i run the command line in ubuntu, can i up the resolution so more fits in the screen? | 05:52 |
| munk | I would like to avoid calling transcoder from within my program | 05:52 |
| jascase901 | I was messing with usplash and now I cant log onto my ubuntu partition | 05:52 |
| nathaniel1 | and it doesn't detect monitor | 05:52 |
| jascase901 | On jaunty | 05:52 |
| unop | munk, ahh, then $@ doesn't apply .. you'd have to work with argc/argv combination | 05:52 |
| munk | yea | 05:52 |
| ectospasm | sagaci: you mean in the virtual terminals (ALT-F1..6)? | 05:52 |
| unop | munk, /j #c++ | 05:53 |
| sagaci | ectospasm: yes | 05:53 |
| munk | is there no way to pass the output of a program to the arguments of a another? | 05:53 |
| ectospasm | sagaci: only way I know of doing that is by running a framebuffer | 05:53 |
| nathaniel1 | my screen resolution sinece some days now is very below what it used to be and it doesn't detect monitor | 05:53 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm:yeah i have like 50GB of free space. should i create it as a primary or extended partition? also should it be ext 2? | 05:53 |
| munk | perhaps a bash script to tie it togehter? | 05:53 |
| unop | munk, that will work | 05:53 |
| ectospasm | sagaci: investigate the "vga=" kernel boot parameter for the framebuffer | 05:54 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: it's really immaterial whether you choose it to be primary or logical (it can't be extended) | 05:54 |
| sagaci | ectospasm: ah ok, won't mess with it then | 05:54 |
| munk | where would I look for such information? | 05:54 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: oh alright. will 2 GB be enough or how much should it be? | 05:54 |
| unop | munk, /j #bash | 05:54 |
| nathaniel1 | my screen resolution sinece some days now is very below what it used to be and it doesn't detect monitor | 05:55 |
| munk | thanks | 05:55 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: usually I make the /home partition the largest on the system | 05:55 |
| jaime1 | so probably use like all of the memory. like 50GB? | 05:55 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: 2GB would fill up FAST | 05:55 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: that's what I'd do, but ymmv | 05:55 |
| nellmathew | hey guys, i was curious.. what would be the best file system for "media storage" partition?.. i'm on ext3 right now, i have some unformatted space on my harddrive, looking for some suggestions.. | 05:56 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: ok thanks man. yeah i got the page that tell me what commands to enter so hopefully i fix this | 05:56 |
| ectospasm | nellmathew: ext3 is a safe choice | 05:56 |
| ectospasm | nellmathew: JFS may give better performance for lots of large (> 2GB) files. | 05:57 |
| ectospasm | ReiserFS may also be a good choice. | 05:57 |
| nellmathew | ectospasm, so if i were to reinstall ubuntu on my current partition, how would i go about using ext3 without affecting the "media" partition? (make it primary and root?..) | 05:57 |
| thePuppeteer | I am on the liveCD and am formatting the HDD, sda1 i managed to delete, but with sda2/sda5, gparted will not give me the option to touch, is there a way around this? | 05:57 |
| nellmathew | does that make sense?.. lol | 05:58 |
| Jaunty_Guy | #ubuntu | 05:58 |
| Jaunty_Guy | Hello guys and gals | 05:58 |
| ectospasm | nellmathew: no, you'd have your media partition on a separate (primary or logical, doesn't matter) partition, and set its mount point to whatever (prolly not /media, maybe /mnt/media or something. | 05:58 |
| chewed-on | Hello | 05:58 |
| Jaunty_Guy | I have really a serious problem and I can't fix it | 05:59 |
| chewed-on | Has anyone here used Yabause (sega saturn emulator) | 05:59 |
| ectospasm | nellmathew: then, don't touch that partition when you're reinstalling. | 05:59 |
| Jaunty_Guy | Can some one help me | 05:59 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: don't preface your question, or ask to ask, just ask your question already | 05:59 |
| nellmathew | ectospasm: thanks for your help! | 06:00 |
| chewed-on | Has anyone here used Yabause (sega saturn emulator) before ? | 06:00 |
| Jaunty_Guy | OK I just migrated from Windows and I have one problem | 06:00 |
| ectospasm | chewed-on: not I | 06:00 |
| Jaunty_Guy | The PC freezes at randon times | 06:00 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: does it ever exhibit that behavior in Windows? | 06:00 |
| Jaunty_Guy | couldn't figure why? | 06:01 |
| Jaunty_Guy | No not at all | 06:01 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: you could be having a number of problems. | 06:01 |
| avythe | silly quick question, when amarok changes to the next song, it displays a huge message - any way to resize it? | 06:01 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: it could be that Ubuntu is stressing your system in ways Windows does not, and you've got a hardware problem that Ubuntu has uncovered. This is pure conjecture. | 06:01 |
| chewed-on | Jaunty_Guy: what were you doing right before it freeze ? | 06:01 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: you may want to run a benchmarking or stress testing tool to see if your system can handle it. I suggest mprime. | 06:02 |
| MidtownNewbie | Howdy, all. Has anyone else ever had issues getting Skype audio to work in Jaunty? I'm on an Inspiron 1100 laptop. | 06:02 |
| Jaunty_Guy | <ectospasm>: nothing in particular some time freezes while I am surfing and other times while I am watching movies | 06:03 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: I had a problem with an old computer randomly hard locking (in Windows and in Linux), and mprime led me to believe the problem was with the memory controller on the motherboard. | 06:03 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: does it freeze when you view Flash movies in your browser? | 06:03 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: I assume you're using Jaunty? | 06:03 |
| Jaunty_Guy | Not all the times I am watching youtube now :) | 06:04 |
| ARMENIAN | how can i make it so when I'm playing video on one workspace and zoom out with somehting like expose, i can see the video still playing instead of a black screen? | 06:04 |
| Jaunty_Guy | Yes I am | 06:04 |
| StormWinged | so.... for the 4th day... :D can somebody help me with skype plugin for pidgin? | 06:04 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: what flavor (i386 or x86_64)? | 06:04 |
| lstarnes | StormWinged: I think you want #pidgin | 06:04 |
| ectospasm | StormWinged: not I | 06:04 |
| StormWinged | okay... i`ll try it | 06:05 |
| Jaunty_Guy | X86_64 | 06:05 |
| ectospasm | I've got three machines with Jaunty 64bit, and I haven't experienced the problems you have been, Jaunty_Guy | 06:06 |
| Laurenceb | how do I lookup a url? | 06:06 |
| Laurenceb | to find whos hosting it? | 06:06 |
| ectospasm | Laurenceb: in the Linux shell: whois <domain> | 06:06 |
| chewed-on | Laurenceb: maybe try ping that url ? | 06:06 |

| hicham | Hi all, i have a question ! can i have a dual monitor on a PC running linux ? i can do that on xP but not on linux..Thanks | 06:06 |
| Jaunty_Guy | I have another machine too and it works like a charm | 06:06 |
| === nabeel is now known as Guest72527 | ||
| Laurenceb | is there a web service that gives you the company? | 06:06 |
| chewed-on | hicham: yes you can | 06:06 |
| raylu | !twinview | hicham | 06:07 |
| ubottu | hicham: twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings | 06:07 |
| ectospasm | hicham: what video chipset are you using? | 06:07 |
| hicham | how / | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | Laurenceb: you could try doing a whois query | 06:07 |
| hicham | Nvidia | 06:07 |
| raylu | oh... was expecting a more general reponse | 06:07 |
| hicham | GEforce something | 06:07 |
| eshaase | why does moving files from my HD to my USB HD take up 100% of my CPU? | 06:07 |
| Jaunty_Guy | that's why I don't know the problem I am not that expert so I need help | 06:07 |
| chewed-on | hicham: I think in your system settings there's a monitor section | 06:07 |
| chewed-on | it has a check box to use dual monitors | 06:07 |
| === ShadowXP is now known as Shadowpillar | ||
| raylu | eshaase: it's a reported bug, i think | 06:07 |
| hicham | do i have to downloand anything ? I am new to linux.. my second day using it | 06:08 |
| sebsebseb | Laurenceb: this isn't really Ubuntu suppourt anyway this is what you want http://www.netcraft.com | 06:08 |
| ectospasm | hicham: you'll need to make sure you've got the nvidia restricted driver installed, and then add Option "TwinView" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:08 |
| raylu | hicham: see what ubottu said | 06:08 |
| chewed-on | hicham: you're using gnome ? | 06:08 |
| digitalsatori | hi I installed mplayer and w32codecs, also copy the g2m.dll(gotomeeting codec) in the codecs directory, but I'm still not able to play the g2m coded video, anybody have an idea? | 06:08 |
| hicham | yeah gnome..i am not familair with the termila commands yet | 06:08 |
| indus | ectospasm: why do i need to add twinview to xorg.conf? doesnt it do that auto? | 06:09 |
| avythe | everything seems sort of big in gnome... | 06:09 |
| nataly | hola | 06:09 |
| avythe | is there a way to reduce the size of fonts and stuff? | 06:09 |
| sebsebseb | !es | nataly | 06:09 |
| ubottu | nataly: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 06:09 |
| nataly | hi | 06:09 |
| raylu | avythe: so turn down the font size | 06:09 |
| ectospasm | indus: it probably does, but I keep restoring from an existing xorg.conf that I've kept around, and it still works. | 06:09 |
| raylu | avythe: system > prefs > appearance, i think | 06:09 |
| RheaChiQ | thanks ubuntu | 06:09 |
| nataly | iam begin in ubuntu 9.04 | 06:09 |

| Acedip | there is no drivers stated in Hardware Drivers app in system->admin, though there is an on-board ATI graphics driver | 06:09 |
| hicham | I have system tools.. nothing saying " system " ? | 06:10 |
| indus | ectospasm: ok . But now the xorg.conf is auto generated i believe | 06:10 |
| indus | Acedip: whats the output of lspci . | 06:10 |
| ectospasm | indus: yes, but iirc it didn't detect my twinview here | 06:10 |
| ectospasm | ...so I used the old file | 06:10 |
| digitalsatori | anybody have the experience with playing the gotomeeting encoded video in ubuntu | 06:10 |

| chewed-on | hicham: do you see "Desktop" ? | 06:11 |
| chewed-on | or "Monitor" ? | 06:11 |
| chewed-on | or something related to monitor | 06:11 |
| Acedip | indus, this happened after yesterday's network upgrade to 9.04 | 06:11 |
| indus | Acedip: ok newer ati drivers have dropped support for it i believe, use the open source ati driver, | 06:11 |
| ectospasm | chewed-on: it's called "Display" | 06:11 |
| chewed-on | yeah | 06:11 |
| chewed-on | display | 06:11 |
| chewed-on | :D | 06:11 |

| chewed-on | ectospasm: I haven't used Gnome in a while. | 06:11 |
| hicham | no man.. just something to do with the display ..appearance | 06:12 |
| indus | Acedip: but who says your ati card isnt working,in all probability you are running the open source driver | 06:12 |

| ectospasm | jascase901: type 'e' (I think) to edit the grub line, go to the kernel line in the resulting menu, type 'e' to edit the line, and edit "splash" out of the line. Then go back to the previous menu, and type 'b' to boot | 06:14 |
| MidtownNewbie | Anyone? Skype audio on Inspiron laptop? | 06:14 |
| jascase901 | ectospasm: k thanks im gonna try that | 06:14 |
| ectospasm | jascase901: if it works, then you need to back out that change, or remove the installed splash screens | 06:14 |
| raylu | ectospasm, jascase901: no need to go back to the previous menu. just hit enter when you're done editing and b | 06:15 |
| Acedip | indus, ohk, but what can you say about the display not being that clear | 06:15 |
| jascase901 | Ok well imabout to restart my compy | 06:15 |
| jascase901 | to try this | 06:15 |
| ectospasm | raylu: doesn't hitting enter take you back to the previous menu? | 06:15 |
| indus | Acedip: adjust contrast ? not sure | 06:15 |
| jascase901 | thanks guys | 06:15 |
| raylu | ectospasm: after you're done editing, enter takes you to the list of options for that boot config | 06:15 |

| Jaunty_Guy | OK so it is not in the repository | 06:18 |
| jascase901 | I got restarted in like a second | 06:18 |
| ectospasm | Jaunty_Guy: know that the grub edit is only for that boot, you still need to correct the problem. | 06:18 |
| indus | Acedip: cant help here. Since ATI has opened their drivers,you need to wait before the community makes it avaiable for your chipset | 06:18 |

| crapshoot | at best it runs at 50% of resources | 06:20 |
| crapshoot | the problem is that it happens all the time | 06:21 |
| Jaunty_Guy | ectospasm: OK Thanks ..... I'll get back with the results | 06:21 |
| ectospasm | crapshoot: I've seen it stay at <20% resources, but still thrash the hard drive like crazy | 06:21 |
| indus | Acedip: thats why they call hardy LTS release, and i believe until 10.04 it wont be supporting x200 | 06:21 |
| indus | ectospasm: exactly , hard disk keeps reading for say 5 sec | 06:21 |
| Acedip | indus, but I upgraded because needed gtk2.16 and it was not available in hardy | 06:22 |
| crapshoot | isn't FF the recommended browser? | 06:22 |
| indus | ectospasm: i read somewhere they released a fix but it doesnt work | 06:22 |

| ectospasm | indus: why not 4GB. RAM is Dirt Cheap(TM) | 06:25 |
| indus | ectospasm: not where i live :) | 06:25 |
| ectospasm | I just got 2GB laptop RAM for $21.99US | 06:25 |
| glicks | i guess it takes a few minuts for the cache to get hot with google earth | 06:26 |
| XDS2010 | any avid bluetooth ubuntu users here ? | 06:29 |
| brennus | ok, so I'm playing with different liveCDs, and the openSUSE one I got sas i686. Is that 64-bit? | 06:34 |
| myself | HELP | 06:34 |
| brennus | myself: what's wrong? | 06:34 |
| myself | does anyone know how to get the Shell - Queue script to work with Transmission torrent client here http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts it's this one http://pastie.org/357236 | 06:34 |
| myself | that | 06:34 |
| indus | brennus: its 32 bit | 06:35 |
| brennus | indus: thank you | 06:35 |
| indus | brennus: 64 bit will say x86_64 | 06:35 |
| myself | brennus how do i make it work | 06:36 |
| crapshoot | how do i keep FF from crashing/locking up? | 06:36 |
| indus | crapshoot: when does it craash | 06:36 |
| crapshoot | i can't come up with a reliable trigger | 06:37 |
| crapshoot | sometimes there is weird network traffic | 06:37 |
| crapshoot | other times i am simply looking at the forums or text pages | 06:38 |
| crapshoot | video pages are a toss up | 06:38 |
| crapshoot | no issue with RAM or swap............3Gb | 06:39 |
| crapshoot | i really want to be a "convert", but without finding a solution i can only turn to windoze | 06:40 |
| indus | crapshoot: maybe its flash | 06:40 |
| crapshoot | how do i check/fix it? | 06:41 |
| crapshoot | flash is pretty prevalent | 06:41 |
| indus | crapshoot: which version of ubuntu u using? have you updated your system? | 06:41 |
| crapshoot | i have tried hardy, ibex, and jaunty | 06:41 |
| crapshoot | i know jaunty is buggy so that i discount | 06:42 |
| Dday | how oyu do a screenshot in ubuntu? | 06:42 |
| crapshoot | the OS shouldn't affect the browser should it? | 06:42 |
| ectospasm | Dday: hit PrintScreen | 06:42 |
| ectospasm | crapshoot: it can | 06:42 |
| indus | crapshoot: it does | 06:42 |
| crapshoot | oh! | 06:43 |
| ectospasm | crapshoot: I mean, the browser has to run in the framework of the OS | 06:43 |
| crapshoot | how do i check it | 06:43 |
| indus | crapshoot: there is nothing to check, u can try opera if you not happy with FF | 06:43 |
| ectospasm | indus: or any of the console-based browsers. | 06:44 |
| crapshoot | if FF is a stock browser, wouldn't it have been checked? | 06:44 |
| vigo | There are many browsers that work in Linux, | 06:44 |
| vigo | Choice is what it is really about. | 06:44 |
| indus | crapshoot: Frankly firefox has started sucking, it works much nicer on windows | 06:44 |
| indus | crapshoot: i just hate it now | 06:45 |
| ectospasm | indus: I dunno, it's gotten better | 06:45 |
| ectospasm | though I'm still yearning and aching for Chrome4Linux | 06:45 |
| crapshoot | FF has always been touted as being the linux browser | 06:45 |
| kevin__ | ectospasm: same here man | 06:45 |
| indus | ectospasm: no man,the freezes have increased,getting worse with flash etc | 06:45 |
| vigo | It is like Mutt e-mail, it states, all e-mail clients suck, mutt sucks less. | 06:45 |
| ectospasm | indus: heh, my experience has been precisely the opposite. | 06:45 |
| glicks | hey how is epiphany as a browser? | 06:45 |
| crapshoot | no one has looked at or fixed this? | 06:46 |
| kevin__ | indus: ye i cant play texas holdem poker cus its flash so i have to boot to windows.. | 06:46 |
| indus | ectospasm: thats called luck :) | 06:46 |
| myself | does anyone know how to get a script working for Transmission??? i want this one http://pastie.org/357236 | 06:46 |
| ectospasm | glicks: epiphany should work | 06:46 |
| ectospasm | indus: so, I've got good luck? | 06:46 |
| vigo | I love Epiphany | 06:46 |
| kevin__ | indus: on facebook.. :(( | 06:46 |
| indus | ectospasm: its a known fact, firefox is great on windows | 06:46 |
| vigo | IceCat | 06:46 |
| crapshoot | it seems to work for most people | 06:46 |
| mcrandello | Hi is there any way to recover an encryption seed if your .ecryptfs dir went awol? | 06:46 |
| glicks | ectospasm, i mean how is it is it good | 06:46 |
| ectospasm | indus: documentation? | 06:46 |
| glicks | crappy | 06:46 |
| mcrandello | (yes I did something stupid) | 06:46 |
| glicks | etc | 06:46 |
| indus | i think opera is just great but i dont use it cos it looks ugly on gtk | 06:46 |
| SmithKurosaki | crapshoot: While FF is the standard ship with linux browser, I much prefer Opera, but when in Fedora, I find I need FF to deal with flash and java. What ubuntu are you running that is giving you problems? (Sounds like you are in windoze atm) | 06:46 |
| ectospasm | glicks: I have no idea, I don't use epiphany | 06:46 |
| glicks | can i watch youtube, is it as resource hungry as ff | 06:46 |
| ectospasm | Opera sucks because it uses Qt | 06:47 |
| ectospasm | glicks: I haven't a clue | 06:47 |
| crapshoot | right now i am in ubuntu ibex | 06:47 |
| indus | ectospasm: hmm no,qt is a very nice tool kit, it sucks because ubuntu is gtk | 06:47 |
| ectospasm | indus: you prove my point. | 06:47 |
| vigo | Iceweasel or IceCat are clones of Mozilla | 06:47 |
| indus | ectospasm: its not the tool kit that sucks is the point, but i heard firefox is also qt? | 06:48 |
| crapshoot | so no mozilla for ubuntu? | 06:48 |
| lstarnes | indus: firefox uses gtk, iirc | 06:48 |
| glicks | FF is gtk | 06:48 |
| glicks | anyone have any experience with other browsers on ubuntu | 06:48 |
| ectospasm | indus: AFAIK Firefox is GTK+ based (at least in Ubuntu) | 06:48 |
| indus | crapshoot: yeah vigo is right, try the many other browsers, iceweasel,swiftfox etc | 06:48 |
| ectospasm | glicks: I've used Konqueror a little bit. | 06:48 |
| SmithKurosaki | myself: ktorrent | 06:49 |
| vigo | crapshoot: I use Mozilla stuff in alot of Linux distros. | 06:49 |
| indus | ectospasm: lstarnes:ya i guess u are correct, idont know where i read that | 06:49 |
| indus | firefox is the best open source project but it sucks in linux | 06:49 |
| crapshoot | is there any way to know what will work without trying out a bunch of browsers to see what works?! | 06:49 |
| ectospasm | crapshoot: um, no? | 06:49 |
| kevin__ | indus: i wouldnt say it sucks, its fairly developed.. just some bugs | 06:49 |
| indus | anyways, they have issues handling sqllite databases | 06:49 |
| ectospasm | crapshoot: it's a matter of taste. | 06:49 |
| jaime1 | hey guys i just created a new /home partition and i had a question. i've followed the wiki rules on how to mount but i've had problems. can anyone help me through the steps? | 06:50 |
| indus | ok nvm | 06:50 |
| crapshoot | how about stability? | 06:50 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: the installer should have set it to automatically mount | 06:50 |
| ectospasm | ...on boot | 06:50 |
| vigo | It is as stable as the last backup you made. | 06:50 |
| indus | jaime1: how did you create the partition? | 06:50 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: well no i actually just made the new partition through Gparted | 06:51 |
| ectospasm | my guess is gparted in the installer | 06:51 |
| ectospasm | jaime1: did you set the mount point for it? Or are you doing this outside the installer? | 06:51 |
| crapshoot | so there is no stock stable browser to use? | 06:51 |
| indus | jaime1: do you have ubuntu already installed? | 06:51 |
| kevin__ | crapshoot: you should have a problem with firefox.. | 06:51 |
| crapshoot | why kevin_? | 06:52 |
| indus | crapshoot: stick with firefox ,i just installed ff 3.5 beta it seems nicer | 06:52 |
| kevin__ | shoudnt** | 06:52 |
| indus | its in synaptic | 06:52 |
| indus | its called shiretoko browser for now | 06:52 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: yes i have it installed, and no that's what i'm having problems with mounting it. i'm currently on the live cd because i already changed to the new home, but for some reason it wont read it so i had to do it through the live CD | 06:52 |
| vigo | mcrandello: I am still looking for the Ubuntu propsed fix for that. (if one exists) | 06:52 |
| indus | !firefox | 06:53 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 06:53 |
| indus | jaime1: can you paste output of sudo fdisk -l | 06:53 |
| jaime1 | ectospasm: i followed the steps on this guide http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome and i manged to change to the new home, but now it won't read it. it tries to read the old /home location. | 06:53 |
| vigo | indus: I saw that 3.5 or something is shipping on Fedora now. | 06:54 |
| jaime1 | indus: outpust of sudo fdisk? sorry i'm kinda new at the partitioning | 06:54 |
| jaime1 | indus: where would i find that? | 06:54 |
| indus | jaime1: in terminal (menu>accessories>terminal) type sudo fdisk -l | 06:55 |

| mhiku | how can i install mysql 6 and php mysql 6 using apt-get ? | 06:57 |
| indus | jaime1: can i suggest you reinstall ubuntu with a separate home if you wish? The procedure you are following is a bit advanced | 06:57 |
| jaime1 | indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/198230/ | 06:57 |
| kevin__ | mhiku: do you have to use apt-get?? have u searched mysql in synaptic | 06:58 |
| crapshoot | it seems like things are breaking down | 06:58 |
| kevin__ | mhiku: try apt-cache | 06:58 |
| mhiku | ahh so its possible | 06:58 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah i mean i pretty much got it down. but some of the commands that i was supposed to enter weren't really working. i mean i pretty much did it but it's not reading /home its reading the old /home not the new one | 06:58 |
| mhiku | because i search aptitude search mysql and the latest there is 5.1 only | 06:59 |
| kevin__ | indus: do you have ff 3.5?? hows it?? | 06:59 |
| indus | jaime1: i need to see your fstab file | 06:59 |
| indus | kevin__: just search in synaptic and you will see ff 3.5 | 06:59 |
| jaime1 | indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/198230/ that is the link | 06:59 |
| indus | jaime1: yes i got it | 07:00 |
| jaime1 | indus: if that's not working then try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/198230/plain/ | 07:00 |
| kevin__ | indus: so i dont need to download the .deb.. dang already started lol.. | 07:00 |
| mcrandello | vigo: thanks for looking btw | 07:00 |

| kevin__ | indus: ima do it the easy way lol.. x | 07:00 |
| kevin__ | D | 07:00 |
| jaime1 | indus: currently i'm on the live CD | 07:01 |
| indus | jaime1: have you unmounted the old home partition? | 07:01 |
| vigo | mcrandello: Did you locate a fix? | 07:01 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah that's where i had the problem | 07:01 |
| indus | jaime1: i mean i hope you followed all the steps, | 07:01 |
| mcrandello | not yet | 07:01 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah i would enter the exact command and all it would say is that it couldn't find that file. well not the exact command but you know what i mean | 07:02 |
| rashed2020_ | Hi | 07:02 |
| mcrandello | vigo: afaict you need both the passphrase and a key (which I deleted) to open the files | 07:02 |
| rashed2020_ | What does it mean when there's a picture of a lock on a file? | 07:02 |
| rashed2020_ | It's a .bin | 07:02 |
| vigo | mcrandello: Lost DSA? or SHA? | 07:02 |
| indus | jaime1: find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null --sparse -pvd /new/ this line? | 07:02 |
| jaime1 | indus: it might be that the command given is wrong but i haven't been able to find another page at the moment | 07:02 |
| mcrandello | vigo: my .encryptfs directory whatever that had in it | 07:02 |
| zopiac | how do i make all image files open in a certain program? | 07:02 |
| vigo | mcrandello: Try a look at this one, am still looking , http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001267.html | 07:03 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah that exact one | 07:03 |
| indus | jaime1: i have no idea what it does | 07:03 |
| indus | jaime1: i dont think i even understand that tutorial | 07:03 |
| indus | jaime1: i guess you try those steps again then | 07:04 |
| indus | jaime1: what cant it find exactly? | 07:04 |
| === mclure is now known as mclur3 | ||
| jaime1 | indus: i used this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome well that live is to back up the old /home directory on the old partition and also move it to the new one. after that's done you pretty much delete the old /home then put the new one to boot | 07:04 |
| jaime1 | indus: ok give a sec and let me try it again | 07:05 |
| jaime1 | it says mv: cannot stat /old/home no such file or directory | 07:06 |
| myself | hey I just did this "i did this $ adduser --disabled-password transmission" in terminal cause someone was trying to help me run a script, what exactly did that do? i want to undo it | 07:06 |
| vigo | mcrandello: Whew! found an entire .log on that, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2006/12/19/%23ubuntu.txt lot of spatter to look over, but is a good read. | 07:06 |
| indus | jaime1: give me your fstab file | 07:06 |
| indus | jaime1: paste it | 07:06 |
| jaime1 | indus: so i guess there is no more /old | 07:06 |
| gogeta | myself lol | 07:06 |
| myself | gogeta can you help me :) | 07:06 |
| jaime1 | indus: the one that i gave you right now? | 07:06 |
| indus | jaime1: cat /etc/fstab | 07:07 |
| gogeta | myself remove the user | 07:07 |
| myself | how do i do that | 07:07 |
| myself | is the user called "transmission"? | 07:07 |
| gogeta | well whatever u setupname yo | 07:07 |
| myself | i set it as the same username | 07:07 |
| myself | as i have now | 07:07 |
| gogeta | outch | 07:07 |
| myself | what does that mean | 07:08 |
| jaime1 | indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/198240/ | 07:08 |
| vigo | mcrandello: And this Debian page has a bit to say on that. http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/packages/partman/partman-crypto/debian/po/fi.po | 07:08 |
| jaime1 | indus: that should be it | 07:08 |
| myself | ivan@ivan-desktop:~$ users | 07:08 |
| myself | ivan ivan ivan | 07:08 |
| indus | jaime1: u dont have the new home partition mentioned there | 07:08 |
| myself | what do i do gogeta | 07:08 |
| indus | jaime1: aah wait, this is the live cd fstab i think | 07:09 |
| gogeta | myself i think it did make a user group transmission | 07:09 |
| myself | so how do i get rid of that extra user/usergroup? | 07:10 |
| gogeta | in admin | 07:10 |
| indus | jaime1: can you see your ubuntu installation? | 07:10 |
| gogeta | and users and groups | 07:10 |
| jaime1 | indus: yes you are right. | 07:10 |
| indus | jaime1: can you go to the / of that one | 07:10 |
| gogeta | you can change the settings w a nice gui | 07:10 |
| myself | how do i run that in sudo | 07:10 |
| gogeta | it will ask | 07:10 |
| jaime1 | indus: i cannot | 07:10 |
| jaime1 | indus: unless.... | 07:11 |
| myself | okay i did it, badass, thank you | 07:11 |
| indus | jaime1: you need to mount it i think | 07:11 |
| vigo | mcrandello: This Aruns Blog explains what it is, sorta : http://www.blog.arun-prabha.com/tag/encryptfs/ | 07:11 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah let me try it again. i found another page which might help me more http://www.ubuntu4life.com/node/30 | 07:11 |
| indus | jaime1: do you remember the dev name? like /dev/sda1 or 2 | 07:11 |
| bingo | Hi room | 07:12 |
| bingo | i am using ubuntu 8.04 | 07:12 |
| zerosix06 | hi | 07:12 |
| gregorah | I'm having an issue with my webcam using eeebuntu. The issue is that nothing I do seems to get the webcam to actually work. | 07:12 |
| zerosix06 | i to | 07:12 |
| gogeta | gergorah kinda a ols distro | 07:13 |
| gogeta | :-old | 07:13 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah the new home was /dev/sda3 while the old was sda2 | 07:13 |
| bingo | i want to stop my iptables service but i didnt find /etc/init.d/iptables there | 07:13 |
| gregorah | Doesn't work with windows either. | 07:13 |
| gregorah | :( | 07:13 |
| gregorah | But this isn't #windows | 07:13 |
| gregorah | so whatever. | 07:13 |
| indus | jaime1: ok do a sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt | 07:13 |
| gogeta | gregorah eeebuntu is dead | 07:13 |
| jaime1 | indus: ok i got it | 07:14 |
| bingo | how? | 07:14 |
| gogeta | http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ | 07:14 |
| gregorah | are you sure? I thought it was ubuntu eee or something that was dead. | 07:14 |
| gogeta | thats its new name | 07:14 |
| bingo | zerosix06: if i want to stop iptables service then ho can i do ? | 07:14 |
| indus | jaime1: basically you just need to add a line in fstab about the new home thats all | 07:14 |
| jaime1 | indus: now should i do the next step, copyin files over? the cd/home find . -depth -print etc? | 07:14 |
| gogeta | ubuntu netbook remix also has good support for most netbooks | 07:14 |
| nomad77 | bingo: sudo iptables -F flushes loaded ruleset | 07:14 |
| indus | jaime1: ah no you have already done that | 07:15 |
| gogeta | and thats a offical | 07:15 |
| rob_p | bingo, iptables is a tool, not a service. | 07:15 |
| vigo | bingo: Not advised, but is do-able. | 07:15 |
| vigo | !iptables | 07:15 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 07:15 |
| bingo | nomand777: and if i again want to start its service ? | 07:15 |
| indus | jaime1: can you do a 'cd /dev/sda2? | 07:15 |
| bingo | rob_p: tool yes tool for firewall ? | 07:15 |
| bingo | actualy i am new so dont konw very well.. | 07:15 |
| jaime1 | indus: yes i can | 07:15 |
| vigo | Learning is most of the fun! | 07:16 |
| rob_p | bingo, Precisely. It's a tool used in the configuration of the kernel packet filtering. | 07:16 |
| bingo | rob_P: how is it not service ? | 07:16 |
| gregorah | gogeta: Easy Peasy appears to be Ubuntu-eee, not eeebuntu | 07:16 |
| indus | jaime1: good then find fstab from the /etc in that partition | 07:16 |
| indus | jaime1: understand? | 07:16 |
| indus | sudo gedit /dev/sda2/etc/fstab | 07:16 |
| gogeta | hregorah ubuntu netbook remix is a offical ubuntu :) | 07:16 |
| bingo | nomand777: sudo iptables -F ok .. now i again want to start iptables then ? | 07:16 |
| gogeta | supports my 900a fine | 07:17 |
| indus | jaime1: iam not sure if thats correct | 07:17 |
| rob_p | bingo, A service implies a process that runs... iptables is not, "running" but gets called during the initial configuration of the kernel packet filtering mechanism. | 07:17 |
| jaime1 | indus: i enter it but another line just pops out | 07:17 |
| rob_p | bingo, Once iptables establishes the ruleset, it is not, "running." Understand? | 07:17 |
| indus | jaime1: aah sorry | 07:18 |
| indus | jaime1: bad syntax | 07:18 |
| gregorah | I'll try it, if the webcam doesn't work be prepared to hear me complain :P | 07:18 |
| jaime1 | indus: yea | 07:18 |
| indus | jaime1: just do a cd /etc/fstab | 07:18 |
| bingo | rob_P: ok, so its mean it is not daemon, even in cEntos ? | 07:18 |
| indus | jaime1: no | 07:18 |
| indus | jaime1: cd /etc | 07:18 |
| lstarnes | bingo: it's not a daemon, it runs inside the kernel | 07:18 |
| jaime1 | indus: no | 07:18 |
| rob_p | bingo, Yes. Even in CentOS. | 07:18 |
| indus | jaime1: omg ok got it | 07:18 |

| gogeta | lol | 07:19 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah i entered it while i was in 'cd /dev/sda2 and when i press enter it just goes into the next line | 07:19 |
| bingo | rob_P: but in centos when we do #service iptables stop then it got stop.. then no kernel etc ? | 07:20 |
| rob_p | bingo, I'm not familiar with iptables-save. | 07:20 |
| indus | jaime1: no no press ctl-x and exit | 07:20 |

| indus | from a $ sign that is | 07:20 |
| jaime1 | indus: oh ok | 07:20 |
| rob_p | bingo, That's because they happen to call it iptables even though it differs from the utility that is iptables. Thank them for the confusion! | 07:21 |
| rob_p | bingo, They really should have called it something else. | 07:21 |
| bingo | i see... | 07:21 |
| jaime1 | indus: ok yeah i did and i get the same one the one i showed you earlier on | 07:21 |
| indus | jaime1: paste the output of mount | 07:21 |
| rob_p | bingo, ...like an iptables configurator or whatever... | 07:21 |

| jaime1 | indus: ok here it is, http://paste.ubuntu.com/198255/ | 07:23 |
| indus | jaime1: in that psychocats tutorial , i suppose you have mounted the old partition on a directory called /old? | 07:24 |
| AnActivist | gogeta, I'm sorry I'm still not understanding, are you talking about the dev logs? | 07:24 |
| indus | jaime1: could you please navigate to that folder? | 07:24 |
| jaime1 | indus: ok give me a sec | 07:24 |
| indus | jaime1: have you done those steps now? | 07:24 |
| jaime1 | indus: yes i did them all | 07:25 |
| conan | hey guys, everytime i try running TF2 with wine it crashes at the same point it worked when i ran windows | 07:25 |
| indus | jaime1: so just go to that /old folder and look for etc and fstab inside | 07:25 |
| jaime1 | indus: no the old partition was in the same /dev/sda2 | 07:25 |
| AnActivist | gogeta? | 07:25 |
| indus | jaime1: aah sorry yes /old is only old home | 07:25 |
| gogeta | baa thought you had one nv | 07:26 |
| indus | jaime1: 1 sec i want the old / | 07:26 |
| jaime1 | indus: yes | 07:26 |
| gogeta | dev lof i say so | 07:26 |
| gogeta | logs | 07:26 |
| gogeta | now im kinda bord | 07:27 |
| AnActivist | gogeta, wouldn't that be for trying to exploit ubuntu itself? I'm just trying to exploit simple c programs that I right | 07:27 |
| indus | jaime1: i think there is an error in the tutorial. /old will not have etc because /etc comes direct under / | 07:27 |

| Sensiva | Hello all, in Intrepid and Jaunty there is a program that used to save my sudo password, so I don't get prompted for it again and again, now I am back to Hardy, how to do the same thing? | 07:28 |
| gogeta | nm | 07:28 |
| indus | kevin__: no | 07:28 |
| AnActivist | I'm trying to perhaps run a more vunerable distro instide vmware? | 07:28 |
| kevin__ | indus: wel what the eff | 07:28 |
| jaime1 | indus: yeah that's where mine said that the directory of file did not exits. | 07:28 |
| gogeta | anactivist and why would you wanna do that | 07:28 |
| kevin__ | indus: and all my plugins are def not compatible dang | 07:28 |
| kevin__ | no more stylis facebook | 07:28 |
| gogeta | anactivist best place to mess up a program (windows) | 07:28 |
| indus | jaime1: can you navigate to that folder /old | 07:29 |
| AnActivist | yes I know but I'm trying to learn about memory management inside linux first | 07:29 |
| gogeta | linux is prety tough to exploite its has protection inside the os | 07:29 |
| indus | jaime1: just tell me if you see a folder called etc in there | 07:29 |
| AnActivist | I basically need a distro with a 2.4.x kernel that I can run inside vmware | 07:29 |
| gogeta | xdsl or puppy retro are 2.4 | 07:29 |
| gogeta | dsl | 07:30 |
| gogeta | or a relly old ubuntu | 07:30 |
| jaime1 | indus: well there was never an /old folder. it just stated that /dev/sda2 was the "old" folder. so i do sudo /dev/sda2? | 07:30 |
| stealth- | AnActivist: or you could take any other distro and roll back the kernel | 07:30 |
| stealth- | AnActivist: or get a earlier version | 07:30 |
| === bu_sy is now known as b_y | ||
| indus | jaime1: do a cd /old | 07:30 |
| gogeta | stealth lol and brake everything | 07:30 |
| jaime1 | ok | 07:30 |
| stealth- | gogeta: well if its in a vm, he doesnt have much to loose | 07:31 |
| stealth- | gogeta: and installing a new kernel isnt that hard | 07:31 |
| gogeta | stealth he will suceed in braking it lol | 07:31 |
| jaime1 | indus: ok now look for a etc? | 07:31 |
| indus | yes | 07:31 |
| indus | cd /etc | 07:31 |
| kevin__ | indus: eff the beta of ff... lmao, ill stick with my 3.1 or watev | 07:31 |
| indus | jaime1: no just cd etc( no slash) | 07:31 |
| stealth- | gogeta: heh | 07:31 |
| indus | kevin__: its not even a beta now | 07:32 |
| AnActivist | stealth-, how do I roll back the kernel? | 07:32 |
| kevin__ | well it say its not final..? | 07:32 |
| mcrandello_ | alright as I understand it here | 07:32 |
| stealth- | AnActivist: simply install a older kernel........ | 07:32 |
| mcrandello_ | http://dustinkirkland.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/encrypted-private-directories-in-ubuntu-intrepid/ | 07:32 |

| indus | jaime1: good | 07:32 |
| gogeta | stealth lol if i said what i whanted to they would kick me lol | 07:32 |
| gogeta | stealth a old joke | 07:32 |
| indus | jaime1: now cat fstab | 07:32 |
| indus | paste it | 07:32 |
| mcrandello_ | there is no way to recover the passphrase used to decrypt an encrypted private dir once .ecryptfs is gone | 07:33 |
| rashed2020_ | Does it matter what distro a binary is made for? | 07:33 |
| stealth- | AnActivist: you can google for instructions on installing a kernel, just make sure you use the files from an older kernel. | 07:33 |
| stealth- | gogeta: pm me it, I wanna hear it :P | 07:33 |
| jaime1 | indus: nope exactly the same as the ones i showed you | 07:33 |
| Papageno | I feel silly asking this, but I accidentally unset show menubar and I'm unsure as to how to set it again since I no longer have access to the menu bar to do this. So how do I? | 07:33 |
| losher | rashed2020_: yes, it matters a lot usually... | 07:33 |
| indus | jaime1: yes cos thats your ubuntu installation fstab | 07:34 |
| indus | jaime1: paste it here | 07:34 |
| rashed2020_ | losher, I'm getting a file not found when I try running the .bin file. Is that the error I'm supposed to be getting? | 07:34 |
| losher | rashed2020_: back up a bit. What .bin file are you trying to "run", and where did you get it? | 07:35 |
| indus | jaime1: ? the file | 07:36 |
| nomin | is there a way to play with the sreensavers with a separate program? | 07:36 |
| nomin | there's a cool screensaver installed by default that shows different molecules and I want to go through each one manually | 07:36 |
| nomin | they're in 3-D and they move around | 07:36 |
| rashed2020_ | losher, RealNetworks Helix Media Server. It says it's for RHEL, figured I'd try it on Ubuntu instead of downloading CentOS | 07:37 |
| nomin | it's the Molecule screensaver | 07:37 |
| brennus | ok, so Ubuntu says that Transmission is already running, but I don't see it on my desktop and I'm not using it. Is there a way to shut it down or make it visible, either way? | 07:37 |
| nomin | brennus: is it in the tray? | 07:38 |
| losher | rashed2020_: brave of you. I'd be surprised it if works. So the .bin file is supposed to be one of those self-extracting install scripts? | 07:38 |
| indus | brennus: right click on gnome panel, add application window list | 07:38 |
| rashed2020_ | losher, Yep. That's exactly what is. | 07:39 |
| milo_ | please how could I fiix this: Authentication failed when i type su - | 07:39 |
| ziroday | milo_: use sudo <applicationname> | 07:39 |
| lstarnes | milo_: use sudo -i | 07:39 |
| brennus | indus: I already have application window list. Transmission is not in the list, yet ubuntu says it's running already when I try to open it | 07:39 |
| losher | rashed2020_: try making it executable e.g. chmod +x file.bin then run it ./file.bin | 07:39 |
| brennus | nomin: nope. but it never is | 07:39 |
| indus | brennus: then kill it from system monitor | 07:40 |
| nomin | lol. Looks like other people like this Molecule screensaver too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291503 | 07:40 |
| milo_ | thanks guys, but i want to understand why it's saying authentication failed | 07:40 |
| ziroday | milo_: su is depreciated in ubuntu, you should use sudo (-i) instead | 07:41 |
| rashed2020_ | losher, Tried that. No use. I'm surprised it says file not found. I'm on a 32bit system, so installing ia32-libs isn't the solution to this either :/ | 07:41 |
| milo_ | ziroday: i see. thanks | 07:41 |

| h6w1 | How do I upgrade Ubuntu on a USB key? If I try to upgrade, I run out of disk space pretty quickly. | 07:41 |
| losher | rashed2020_: run 'file file.bin' and see what kind of file 'file' thinks it is, if you see what I mean... | 07:42 |
| ziroday | SandGorgon: you can see that with smartmontools. Install it and do smartctl -a /dev/<harddrive> | 07:43 |

| _M4rk_ | i have setup domains on my vps using apache manually. when doing this, is there a way to view the domains like with cpanel you can go to <ip>/~name. is there anything like this i can do? | 07:45 |

| om26er | how to install xorg development package | 07:46 |
| losher | rashed2020_: Hm. I thought it would be a shell script but it's not. There may be no way to force it to execute on your system. Does ldd rs1201-ga-linux-rhel5.bin even find the libraries? | 07:46 |
| ziroday | _M4rk_: a neat trick is editing your /etc/hosts file to point at the domain. So for instance foo.example.com 111.111.111.111 line in /etc/hosts would make foo.example.org go to 111.111.111.111 | 07:46 |
| rashed2020_ | losher, /usr/bin/ldd: line 117: ./rs1201-ga-linux-rhel5.bin: No such file or directory | 07:47 |
| rashed2020_ | I don't know if it's talking about the libraries or the actual file | 07:47 |
| ziroday | _M4rk_: err that should be 111.111.111.111 foo.example.org in your /etc/hosts sorry | 07:47 |
| _M4rk_ | but that would try and go to the domain wouldn't it? | 07:47 |
| _M4rk_ | the domains are not pointing to the server yet | 07:47 |
| losher | rashed2020_; either way it's bad news.... | 07:47 |
| _M4rk_ | ideally i would like to go to like <ip>/domain or somethin | 07:48 |

| indus | jaime1: have you moved the old partition with the mv command? | 07:50 |
| ziroday | _M4rk_: that's the point, you don't need the domains to propogate as you have manually pointed to them in your own computers DNS if you like | 07:50 |

| rashed2020_ | losher, Sorry I disconnected by mistake. I asked if it was time to install CentOS. | 07:50 |

| indus | jaime1: exactly, you cant do a cd device name but a cd to the place where you mounted it | 08:01 |
| indus | jaime1: so do a cd /old | 08:02 |
| indus | cd /old/etc | 08:02 |
| Slart | kr3wie: you can't.. you'll have to convert them to isos first | 08:02 |

I have xp on my laptop, debian on the servers, but i want to add a linux distro to my laptop, something with a little more "glitz" than my debian ones on the server, and works right out of the box. something to "play with...", something "fun"... is ubuntu the one for me? | 08:04 |

| jaime1 | indus: shouldnt it be cd /old/home? | 08:15 |
| paulo | i've searched it was 1028 | 08:15 |

I understand that i should use the terminal, but... argh how does this work O_O | 08:15 |
| syn-ack | fosa: Now to be honest, it will work either way as a 32 or 64 bit mode | 08:15 |
| jaime1 | indus: so now find . -depth -print 0, etc....? | 08:16 |
| indus | jaime1: but i believe you moved the old home so i dont think you can find it | 08:16 |

| canadaeh | is the discussion about gpg?? | 08:32 |
| Slart | ectospasm: it just upgrades the current version | 08:32 |
| ectospasm | hugo: you need the private key to decrypt something encrypted with the public key | 08:32 |
| FeasibilityStudy | canadaeh ssl actually, but the principle is the same | 08:33 |
| hugo | how is the private key transmitted? | 08:33 |
| ectospasm | Slart: it doesn't? That's news to me. | 08:33 |

| Slart | Serpardum: there's no real reason for windows to differ in torrent speed compared to linux.. unless you've haven't configured it correctly.. or you're using a lousy client in one of the os's | 08:40 |
| Serpardum | Is there a free virus checker for (k)ubuntu | 08:40 |
| om26er | Requested 'libdrm >= 2.4.6' but version of libdrm is 2.4.5 | 08:40 |
| Jacka_zulu | /server 64.32.14.169 | 08:41 |
| om26er | plz help | 08:41 |
| Slart | kr3wie: man bchunk will get you some instructions.. it's basically "bchunk blabla.cue blabla.bin blabla" .. it will create blabla.iso | 08:41 |
| om26er | how to update | 08:41 |
| Slart | !av | Serpardum | 08:41 |
| ubottu | Serpardum: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 08:41 |
| Slart | Serpardum: bah.. that wasn't the one I was looking for.. there is one called clamav.. I think the client is called clamtk | 08:42 |
| kr3wie | Slart: yeah, but like where should i put the files before doing this and where will the isofile end up ?;o | 08:42 |
| om26er | plz tell me how to update libdrm | 08:42 |
| Serpardum | ubottu: I once installed Debian on a machine at work. Then took the Cd and installed it at home. In the morning my home compouter was rootkitted. I went to work, it was also rootkitted | 08:42 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:42 |
| Serpardum | er, not debian | 08:42 |
| Serpardum | what was it... | 08:42 |
| kr3wie | I've tried writing in the console like bchunk POSTAL 2.bin POSTAL 2.cue postal.iso but like, what happends next? | 08:42 |
| Serpardum | dont' remember which one | 08:42 |
| Serpardum | one I bought a CD from a store | 08:43 |
| Slart | kr3wie: it will end up in the current directory.. but you can specify that if you want "bchunk /some/weird/folder/blabla.cue /some/weird/folder/blabla.bin /somewhere/else/mynewiso" | 08:43 |
| Animagladius | So... I just finished updating to 9.04. It worked fine the first two boots. Really. But now I get this weird error message. Starting up...

| Slart | kr3wie: I think it adds the extension .iso automatically | 08:43 |
| cyberghoser1 | what is the best backup method ? remastersys or omething else? | 08:43 |
| Slart | kr3wie: but check the man page.. I might have gotten the order of the parameters wrong or something | 08:43 |
| Animagladius | I don't get into the GUI, so I'm on the console now (with IRC), therefore I can't copy/paste nything. | 08:44 |
| Animagladius | +a | 08:44 |
| Slart | cyberghoser1: "best" would depend on what you want to do with the backup | 08:44 |
| Slart | !backup | cyberghoser1 | 08:44 |
| ubottu | cyberghoser1: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 08:44 |

| Serpardum | So, ubottu, every time someone says "viruses don't exist in linux" I politly nod and know different | 08:44 |
| xhema_ | anyone want to travel and speak at an open source conference on august 29/30? | 08:44 |
| Serpardum | Given, this was in the 90's | 08:45 |

| cyberghoser1 | well id like to completely backup my system like it is, but i want to know if something can compress the final iso highly | 08:45 |
| Animagladius | Anyone? Please :( | 08:45 |
| peacewise | how do we start GNOME from character line interface? | 08:45 |
| Slart | Serpardum: there are linux viruses now? I thought rootkits and such were the big problems | 08:45 |
| defrysk | kr3wie, just do cdrdao write blah.cue and it writs straight to cd (missed the thread tho so not sure if this is the thing you want) | 08:45 |
| adam | Isn't it start x | 08:45 |
| Slart | peacewise: we type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 08:45 |
| Serpardum | Mine was rootkitted by some type of virus, because my computer I found was trying to infect others | 08:46 |
| Serpardum | which is a virus | 08:46 |
| Serpardum | but, again, that was in the 90's | 08:46 |
| === |Draglor| is now known as Draglor | ||
| om26er | plz help me | 08:46 |
| om26er | tell me how to update libdrm version | 08:46 |
| Slart | Serpardum: might have been a trojan or rootkit.. I think most references only mention one experimental virus for linux.. there's still malware out there though | 08:46 |
| waters | How do i install ubuntu 9.04 with out a gui? | 08:46 |
| Animagladius | Hm k, I'll try it again on myself... Thanks anyway. | 08:47 |
| Slart | !alternate | waters | 08:47 |
| ubottu | waters: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 08:47 |
| Serpardum | slart: My computer was trying to infect others. | 08:47 |
| Serpardum | and if it was a trojan it was on the install CD | 08:47 |

| peacewise | how do i install ubuntu 8.10 with a GUI | 08:47 |
| peacewise | ? | 08:47 |
| waters | k . thanks | 08:47 |
| cisco | xikitinnn!!! | 08:47 |
| adam | Serpardum: There are virus' for Linux there's no doubt, but the chances of getting infected and extremely slim compared to Windows. | 08:47 |
| cyberghoser1 | !cloning | 08:47 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 08:47 |
| kr3wie | hm okay then like bchunk /home/kr3wie/Skrivbord/POSTAL 2.cue /home/kr3wie/Skrivbord/POSTAL 2.bin /home/kr3wie/Skrivbord/postal.ISO | 08:47 |
| Serpardum | Now I always use a router anyway, so it's even slimmer | 08:47 |
| Serpardum | for me | 08:47 |
| Slart | Serpardum: oh.. sounds like a virus alright | 08:48 |
| kr3wie | but... i dont get any new file -.- | 08:48 |
| Serpardum | a router works as a good firewall I've found if configured correctly | 08:48 |
| Slart | kr3wie: Postal\ 2.cue .. you have to "escape" the space | 08:48 |
| adam | To a certain extent. | 08:48 |
| om26er | how to update libdrm plz | 08:48 |
| defrysk | kr3wie, do you want to writ a cue bin file to a cd ? | 08:48 |
| Serpardum | Back then I had gone to the linux community and said, hey, whats with this virus? And they all said, "oh, you have to configure things right" | 08:48 |
| Slart | Serpardum: sounds like the community we all know and love =) | 08:49 |
| Serpardum | it's seemed to have matured a lot since then | 08:49 |
| Serpardum | most of these questions people are asking here back then would of been answerd with "rtfm" | 08:49 |
| Slart | Serpardum: I think they might still be answered like that in certain channels | 08:50 |
| peacewise | Start .. how do i switch frm Command line interface to GUI in ubuntu 8.10 live cd | 08:50 |
| peacewise | ? | 08:50 |
| Slart | Serpardum: but this is getting offtopic | 08:50 |
| Slart | peacewise: hmm.. what happens when you boot the live cd? you get some kind of error? | 08:51 |
| peacewise | Slart :No error.// it directly goes into command interface... when i type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start .. it displays "Starting GNOME display manager".. but nothing happens... | 08:52 |
| jaime1 | hello. i made a new /home and everything seemed to be going good. but when i rebooted and started i got your directory /home/jaime does not seem to exist.do u want to use /root as a directory? can someone help me because i was sure i did everything correct | 08:53 |
| jaime1 | the /root was my old /home or directory | 08:53 |
| Draglor | IS there a way to run a comman as another user (my usual login, not root) at bootup time? I tried "su $USER -c $COMMAND" but thats not executed at startup. I get the message "su has to be run from a terminal" | 08:53 |
| Draglor | jaime1: Whats the content of the "/root" ? | 08:54 |
| unop | Draglor, in /etc/rc.local - add a line like sudo -u user command | 08:54 |
| beli | Draglor: man sudo | 08:54 |
| jaime1 | draglor: that was my old /home right now nothing | 08:54 |
| kr3wie | wts up now... It says Reading the CUE file: ... ouch, no space after index number.... ouch, no space after INDEX. | 08:54 |
| unop | jaime1, what are the permissions of /home/jaime ? | 08:54 |
| jaime1 | unop: well i'm on the live CD, and the /home/jaime was the new /home i created. the permission right now are default i guess | 08:55 |
| unop | jaime1, ls -ld /home/jaime | 08:55 |
| Slart | peacewise: not really sure what to do with that.. sorry | 08:55 |
| Draglor | ah ok thx unop I'm coming from antoher distro where I used to use the "su $USER" instead of "sudo -u" ... can anyone tell me which setting this is for "su" that makes this behaviour? My script worked on other distros but not on ubuntu (as many others as well) | 08:56 |
| === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk | ||
| jaime1 | unop: i get cannot access /hom/jaime no such file or directory. but the new home was just /home. the only time i ever saw /home/jaime was when i logged back in. | 08:57 |
| unop | Draglor, su should work .. maybe it's the context in which you run this script that matters. so, how are you running this script? | 08:57 |
| Draglor | it's run by rc.local | 08:57 |
| peacewise | Slart :No error.// it directly goes into command interface... when i type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start .. it displays "Starting GNOME display manager".. but nothing happens... | 08:57 |
| waters | ok ... problem .. i just put in the live ubuntu disk .. i see the hd light blinking .. i hear the music of it starting up ... but all i see is a blue screen ... | 08:57 |
| Draglor | It worked in gentoo/sabayon/opensuse and fedora *g* | 08:57 |
| unop | Draglor, strange .. whats the exact command? | 08:58 |
| beli | Draglor: its because of security....and using sudo to execute ONE command is correct | 08:58 |
| unop | jaime1, what is the output of grep "^jaime" /etc/passwd | 08:58 |
| beli | Draglor: you did sth. that noone wants to use...even if it worked for you | 08:58 |
| unop | ? | 08:58 |
| jaime1 | unop: ls -ld /root | 08:58 |
| waters | this is the same problem i have if i try to install | 08:58 |
| jaime1 | unop: sorry meant to type that in the terminal | 08:58 |
| Draglor | beli ... I have heard nearly 200 opinions about su and sudo ... sorry when I don't belive your opinion. | 08:59 |
| beli | waters: for how long did you wait after getting the blue background? | 08:59 |
| waters | still waiting | 08:59 |
| waters | ;o) | 08:59 |
| beli | Draglor: you dont have to....but at least start reading the manuals before you try stuff... | 08:59 |
| jaime1 | unop: there is a /home but not a /home/jaime | 08:59 |
| Draglor | the command is "su draglor -c "/usr/bin/touch /home/draglor/testfile"" (atm for testing) | 08:59 |
| Draglor | beli lol | 09:00 |
| waters | beli: .. I've waiting for a few hours at one time .. or another ... right now .. 5 min's | 09:00 |
| Draglor | I can start it manually, but it's not executed on startup. | 09:00 |
| beli | waters....make it start in non graphical mode and see what is happening | 09:01 |
| waters | how would i do that? | 09:01 |
| jaime1 | unop: the output is /bin/grep:input/output error | 09:01 |
| beli | waters: google....there are so called boot time options | 09:01 |
| fosa | how are firefox plugins disabled? For example, disabling or removing icedtea ? | 09:01 |
| beli | waters: also try ctrl+alt+f1 f2 .... f7 maybe you can use a console that way and check the logs | 09:02 |
| === dainis is now known as ActiveFrost | ||
| waters | yeah .. i can get into a console | 09:02 |
| unop | Draglor, that looks alright to me .. maybe su does require a terminal to run, is there nothing mentioned in the manpage? | 09:02 |
| kevin__ | fosa: how is iced-tea treatin ya? | 09:02 |
| fosa | kevin__, awful | 09:02 |
| fosa | kevin__, but it's probably some kind of issue with ubuntu64 | 09:03 |
| unop | jaime1, hmm .. you running that command within the live CD right? | 09:03 |
| jaime1 | unop: yes i am. | 09:03 |
| Draglor | I haven't found anything yet unop ... the annoying thing is, that this works in other distros and I don't know why | 09:03 |
| * beli shrugs | 09:04 | |
| unop | Draglor, ubuntu has done a few things to su and sudo that other distros havent | 09:04 |
| Draglor | But I'll try "sudo -u" maybe it has something to do with the sudoers settings in ubuntu (if I do a ) | 09:04 |
| gregorah | Ok, I've been trying to figure this out for days. The webcam on my eee 1000he isn't working. there is no /dev/video* and Cheese/Ekiga/Skype doesn't find a webcam. The green light never turns on. | 09:04 |
| gregorah | I'm 95% confident the webcam is enabled in the BIOS | 09:04 |
| beli | Draglor: ubuntu is using different security, why not use what you are told? use sudo...thats what its ment for WITH ubuntu | 09:04 |
| DrS | Hi, i Found bug where report a bug ? | 09:04 |
| Draglor | unop: I know ... well they have some other settings, no other sudo ... and some others distros have them as well | 09:04 |
| ActiveFrost | does anybody know why ping -f does not show anything else except 2 dots on the next line ? | 09:04 |
| Draglor | beli: ment by you! | 09:05 |
| waters | drm? .. | 09:05 |
| beli | Draglor: no not by me....ask all others here | 09:05 |
| beli | sudo is for executing stuff as other user on ubuntu | 09:05 |
| Draglor | and why do i have su? | 09:05 |
| unop | beli, su works too - atleast it does for me | 09:05 |
| jaime1 | unop: yeah well i'm trying to view the fstab... | 09:06 |
| beli | unop: shouldnt on a fresh install...maybe you altered configuration | 09:06 |
| Draglor | and beli? you are able to read? so what do you think should my post "But I'll try "sudo -u"" mean? | 09:06 |
| unop | jaime1, mount the volume that has ubuntu installed .. and view the etc/passwd file - look for the line that has your username | 09:06 |
| beli | Draglor: i told you to read the manual man sudo | 09:06 |
| DrS | Where i can report a bug ? | 09:07 |
| beli | Draglor: so dont tell me that i am not able to read | 09:07 |

| ziroday | DrS: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 09:08 |
| === shady` is now known as shady | ||
| === shady is now known as Shady | ||

| * Serpardum slaps his forehead | 09:10 | |
| Serpardum | thanks | 09:10 |
| unop | jaime1, first let's have a look at the home directory configured for your user .. | 09:10 |
| ziroday | Draglor: we do not support development versions of ubuntu here, that and dpkg -i wont work. | 09:10 |
| beli | Serpardum: it does...the blank cd is detected bye ubuntu from your rw drive | 09:10 |
| ziroday | Serpardum: have fun | 09:10 |
| jaime1 | unop: alright how do i do that? | 09:11 |
| Serpardum | I thought it mean the cd drive was blank. heh | 09:11 |
| Serpardum | it's burning now. thanks | 09:11 |
| Draglor | ziroday: nice behaviour .. | 09:11 |
| DrS | Draglor : cant install .. | 09:11 |
| waters | ok .. can i install from the command line of a live cd? | 09:11 |
| ziroday | Draglor: ? | 09:11 |
| ziroday | waters: yep, you can install anything you want as long as it does not require a restart | 09:12 |
| waters | what is the command to install ubuntu from the command line of the live cd? | 09:13 |
| unop | jaime1, you need the line from etc/passwd on the mounted volume that has your username (i.e. jaime) | 09:13 |
| syn-ack | DrS: you're running a piece of Alpha software... that wont get any support in here since its more or less "broken" right now and you have to do weird stuff to get things to work." | 09:13 |
| ziroday | waters: ubiquity | 09:13 |
| jaime1 | unop: yeah the volume that has my username is /dev/sda2. so then i mount it? | 09:13 |
| waters | cannot open display .. | 09:14 |
| unop | jaime1, yes please | 09:14 |
| ziroday | waters: the livecd has no command line installer. You need to use the alternate cd. | 09:14 |
| waters | k | 09:14 |
| waters | just got done with the d/l ... | 09:14 |
| unop | jaime1, mount the volume .. then open the etc/passwd file, then look for the line that has your username .. copy and paste here. | 09:14 |
| beli | waters: but íf your live ubuntu fails...you should first try to fix the problems | 09:15 |
| waters | it's a xconf problem | 09:15 |
| beli | waters: yes and this Xorg problem will also be there after using the installer and booting from your harddrive | 09:15 |
| indus | jaime1: hi what seems to be the problem now | 09:16 |
| waters | ok .. | 09:16 |
| beli | waters: so better try to find the source of the problem first | 09:16 |
| jaime1 | unop: ok yeah well the mount i know is sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2? | 09:16 |
| jaime1 | indus: hey well i mean it's the same thing, it's not recognizing the /home | 09:16 |
| unop | jaime1, yea, use that | 09:16 |
| indus | jaime1: what is the error now | 09:16 |
| ziroday | beli: or he can install and have a system that is a lot more flexible to use then the livecd and we can diagnose the issue then. It doesn't make any difference really. | 09:16 |
| unop | indus, let him do what i asked him first please .. | 09:17 |
| indus | unop: ok sure go ahead | 09:17 |
| jaime1 | indus: once i got into the regular one it said direcotry /home/jaime may not exist. do you want to use /root as directory. then i got could not update ICE authority file, then problem with config. server | 09:17 |
| beli | ziroday: ok thats true, but i would try to look what is happening first....maybe some real unsupported hardware is used on his box, but ok....lets give it a try ;) | 09:17 |
| jaime1 | unop: ok give me one sec | 09:17 |
| indus | jaime1: its the error mentioned in last part of tutorial | 09:18 |
| pngll | I'm looking for an extraction software that auto-detects compression and chmods the files correctly. I found one a month ago, delayed its installation, and now I am incapable of finding it again. It claimed to a cl, open source equivalent of stuffit expander. | 09:18 |
| beli | pngll: hmm, try to search for it at freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net | 09:18 |
| === Vobine_ is now known as Vobine | ||
| jaime1 | unop: ok it took a while, live CD kinda slow, but it should be mounted. now you want me to do the usernm thing? | 09:19 |
| jaime1 | indus: yes i believe so | 09:19 |
| ziroday | pngll: I presume stuffit is just some compression software? | 09:20 |
| pngll | ziroday, yes | 09:20 |
| unop | jaime1, yea please | 09:20 |
| ziroday | pngll: what | 09:20 |
| ziroday | pngll: what's wrong with lzma, or bunzip compression? | 09:20 |
| pngll | I just mentioned it in case it would ring a bell for anyone. | 09:20 |
| gregorah_ | I've got a problem with the webcam on my Eee: It's not working. It's enabled in the BIOS but I don't see anything that resembles it in /dev/ and Cheese et. al. can't find it. | 09:20 |
| jaime1 | unop: grep "^jaime" /etc/passwd. yeah it's just loading i think | 09:21 |
| pngll | ziroday, no, it was a decompression tool. Basically you called the-tool the-archive.ext and it automatically detected its typed, created a folder for it, decompressed the files there and chmodded them correctly. | 09:21 |
| unop | jaime1, that would look at /etc/passwd on the live CD - not the one on your ubuntu partition | 09:21 |
| jaime1 | oh ok | 09:21 |
| unop | jaime1, instead you'll need something like. grep "^jaime" /mnt/etc/passwd # assuming your partition is mounted at /mnt | 09:22 |
| ziroday | pngll: so, similar to the Archive Manager then? | 09:22 |
| unop | jaime1, but it might just be easier to navigate your partition using the GUI and open the passwd file in gedit or similar. | 09:23 |
| pngll | ziroday, yes | 09:23 |

| om26er | ziroday i m installing intel driver | 09:24 |
| unop | jaime1, even if it isn't you can use a load of other programs to view the file - since it's a normal text file | 09:24 |
| ziroday | !intel | om26er I recommend you *carefully* follow the forum guide | 09:25 |
| ubottu | om26er I recommend you *carefully* follow the forum guide: 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. | 09:25 |

| unop | jaime1, yea, that or cat, firefox, anything | 09:26 |

| Omar871 | Hi all. | 09:29 |
| ziroday | Omar871: Hi! | 09:29 |
| beli | pngll: but basically you could write a shell script to do your job.....use the "file" command and some regexp to check what the file really contains...then use bunzip, bunzip2, unrar, ... whatever to extract it ;) | 09:30 |

| unop | jaime1, find the file first in the file explorer .. then just double click it | 09:32 |
| unop | jaime1, if nothing will open it then .. right click, open with ... | 09:32 |
| VSpike | When I go in to edit, there's no marker. Eventually figured out you have to double-click the map to make it appear. But every time I place it, when I update and go back to the main profile page it reverts to Kazakhstan | 09:32 |

| gypsymauro | hi | 09:47 |
| gypsymauro | I heard that next ubuntu will ship the gnome 3 testing.. what's that? | 09:47 |
| indus | ectospasm: internal speaker in this case is the laptop speaker | 09:47 |

| dayo | oops sorry for spam | 09:51 |
| ziroday | dayo: you need to use the manual partition option, create one partition as /usr and another as / | 09:51 |
| indus | gregorah_: which one is ur webcam btw, i cant see it | 09:51 |
| ectospasm | dayo: what's the point of that? I would think /home would make more sense as its own partition. | 09:51 |
| indus | dayo: very easy dayo, specify a separate /usr thats all | 09:52 |
| gregorah_ | indus: I'm not sure that any of them are, tbh. | 09:52 |

| ectospasm | dayo: yes, during installation | 09:52 |

| indus | gregorah_: what does cheese tell u | 10:01 |
| Flannel | Harag: No. It's not locked. You don't want to run apache, but you want to do something on port 80? what are you hoping to use port 80 for? | 10:01 |
| gregorah_ | indus: yep. They don't detect any devices. There's nothing. Nothing at /dev/video* either. | 10:01 |

| Harag | Flannel: Running a lisp webserver...the server runs fine on 8080 but if I try to get the server to bind to port 80 then I get permission denied...and theserver is run by root | 10:02 |
| indus | gregorah_: which version of ubuntu u using? | 10:02 |
| Flannel | Harag: Is something already listening on port 80? (netstat -a)? | 10:02 |
| Flannel | clepto: What's changed about the new version? | 10:03 |
| gregorah_ | indus: Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) Netbook Remix. | 10:03 |
| _vm158 | <Flannel> no, i need not to know, how to install software or codecs, i need technical info | 10:03 |
| Harag | Flannel: nope nothing on port 80 | 10:04 |
| Flannel | _vm158: There's technical information in those pages. Is there something specific we can help you find? | 10:04 |
| Flannel | Harag: That's odd. Running as root should allow you to bind to port 80 no problem. | 10:04 |
| clepto | flannel: pretty much everything | 10:04 |
| Harag | Flannel: Yeah that is what I thought aswell ...but I am no linux expert | 10:05 |
| clepto | flannel: the ui is completely different how the server interacts with the client and there are a whole lot of improvments all around. | 10:05 |
| _vm158 | <Flannel> mmm... tell direct link please. i dont see... | 10:05 |
| gregorah_ | indus: Ekiga gives me two video devices: "*.avi (PTLIB/FFMPEG)" and "Moving Logo (Moving Logo/Moving Logo)". Cheese just detects no camera. | 10:05 |
| Flannel | _vm158: Direct link to what? | 10:05 |
| indus | gregorah_: wait i check | 10:06 |
| _vm158 | "There's technical information in those pages" what information for example? | 10:06 |
| Flannel | clepto: Then no, it likely won't be. The way software works in Ubuntu is stuff is 'frozen' to the version its released with (which is actually a couple of months old), and then only bugfixes and security updates happen after the release (well, except backports, but that's a case by case basis). To get the new one, your best course of action right now is to ping the maintainers and make sure it gets into Karmic (the next release) | 10:06 |
| indus | gregorah_: install the program lvcview | 10:07 |
| Flannel | _vm158: Technical information on what? What are you looking for specifically? | 10:07 |
| clepto | flannel: that sucks... the current version that is listed is over a year old. | 10:07 |
| indus | gregorah_: wait | 10:07 |
| indus | gregorah_: lucview from synaptic | 10:08 |
| clepto | flannel: i installed it the old fashioned way so its not that big of a loss but figured it would be nice to have it set up to work with apt-get. | 10:09 |
| gregorah_ | indus luvcview? | 10:09 |
| _vm158 | <Flannel> kernel runs "/sbin/init". "/sbin/init" runs ...? what? | 10:09 |
| indus | gregorah_: lucview | 10:10 |
| Flannel | clepto: Yeah, that's just the way software works in Ubuntu. Once it's packaged for a version, it's easy to install it on the older versions though. So, there is some silver lining. | 10:10 |
| gregorah_ | indus: I don't see a lucview. | 10:10 |
| salm0n | could anyone tell me why ubuntu refuses to open irc:// links with any irc client i choose? | 10:10 |
| indus | gregorah_: aah sorry luvcview | 10:10 |

| eddieate | hi | 10:12 |
| gregorah_ | indus: installed. What do I do with it? | 10:12 |
| Flannel | _vm158: Ubuntu uses upstart, which is different than most others, you can find technical information here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ Although you'll also benefit from the standard linux /sbin/init stuff, since that's still in use as well (and that's just generic linux documentation stuff) | 10:12 |
| Dimitree | any idea why the Demos on the blender game CD don't work with Blender 2.49 ? | 10:12 |

| Chaps | Ubuntu compiles their Kernels with the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option set to Yes. There is physically no possibility for us to get Talpa working on it. | 10:23 |
| Chaps | So I'm afraid for the moment the only workaround available for the customer is to compile his own kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA set to No. | 10:23 |
| Chaps | Will this change back after a kernel update? | 10:23 |
| indus | gregorah_: does your bios have a start and finished option? | 10:23 |
| ziroday | Chaps: yes, as you are installing a kernel from the ubuntu repo's which has CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA set to Yes | 10:24 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: I would think it's trivial to set up so Firefox can open irc:// chats for XChat (or any clients) but that's just me. | 10:24 |

| davro | hosamelfeky: good luck with that ! | 10:31 |
| indus | gregorah_: can u disable and enable the webcam again? | 10:31 |
| unop | salm0n, so let me get this straight .. firefox let's you setup the associations and this works so long as the programs are already running but not if they aren't ?? | 10:32 |
| salm0n | unop no, it opens the programs when i click the irc links and choose a program but then the program just sits there and does nothing and doesn't open the links | 10:33 |
| unop | salm0n, ok, you mentioned that you changed something in about:config .. did you do this before trying to associate them automatically? | 10:35 |
| salm0n | no | 10:35 |
| unop | salm0n, are the changes you made in about:config still present? | 10:35 |
| salm0n | yes | 10:35 |
| unop | salm0n, undo them and try again . | 10:36 |
| salm0n | delete the string? | 10:36 |
| unop | salm0n, you could do that .. or change the boolean to false | 10:36 |
| indus | gregorah_: ? any luck? | 10:37 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Are you using xchat or xchat-gnome? | 10:37 |
| salm0n | xchat | 10:37 |
| salm0n | unop: didnt work | 10:38 |

| mikk4520 | Heya People. I have some trouble makeing a post-ubuntu-setup-script for a local school. Can anyone tell me the correct way to add a wireless configuration to a ubuntu 9.04 box? I have found a way edition /etc/networks/interfaces - but is it the right way to go? | 10:40 |
| unop | salm0n, very strange .. I used the about:config method with xchat and it works alright .. I wonder if there's something wrong with the irc:// links themselves | 10:40 |
| cherva | When I go to Places->Connect to Server the only service type available is a custom location ?! Is this a change in 9.04 or somethin is messed up here ? | 10:41 |
| unop | salm0n, can you right click on one of those links .. copy link location and paste here | 10:41 |
| salm0n | irc://irc.barafranca.com:6667/cartoon | 10:41 |
| erUSUL | mikk4520: /etc/networks/interfaces << can work another possiility is to somehow through gconf (i do not know exactly how) add the configuration to Network Manager | 10:42 |

| salm0n | oh | 10:45 |
| salm0n | finally its figured out | 10:45 |
| unop | salm0n, yea, what was it? | 10:45 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n, unop: It does for me. You want to work with Gnome, not Firefox. :3 | 10:45 |
| salm0n | the links are bad | 10:45 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Even irc://irc.barafranca.com:6667/cartoon ? | 10:46 |

| salm0n | ok mobi-sheep then what | 10:47 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Navigate to desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc | 10:48 |
| LiNuX | helo i m new to linux | 10:48 |
| kujiu | ThorB: you can use the rename command | 10:48 |
| kujiu | but it's not graphical | 10:48 |
| salm0n | mobi-sheep: ok then? | 10:49 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: You see key --> command --> purple-url-handler "%s" ? | 10:49 |
| salm0n | yes | 10:49 |
| ThorB | kujio huh? im a total newb sorry.. i made a cross over cable, i want to connect my crappy Laptop to my Ubuntu Netboook | 10:50 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Change the value string --> command --> /usr/bin/xchat --existing --url="%s" | 10:50 |
| ThorB | and then rename files one by one | 10:50 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Save it. Try it. | 10:50 |
| fuzzy | hi. i've been trouble shooting for ages. i tried to install nvidia drivers off there site(which was a bad idea) | 10:50 |
| SandGorgon | guys.. i want to check my hard disk for sector errors : my warranty is expiring soon and i want to make sure that there is nothing wrong before that: how do i do this? | 10:51 |
| salm0n | will that make it open in xchat gnome | 10:51 |
| fuzzy | i have uninstalled drivers installed and it works mostly normlly but any onpengl context is clear | 10:51 |
| ThorB | kujiu huh? im a total newb sorry.. i made a cross over cable, i want to connect my crappy Laptop to my Ubuntu Netboook | 10:51 |
| Chaps | Ziroday: One of our clients are looking to change all 3000 desktop machines to Ubuntu, and are looking for AV on it and thats where we come in... | 10:51 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Regular xchat, not xchat-gnome. | 10:51 |
| ThorB | kujiu u there :( | 10:51 |
| kujiu | ok | 10:51 |
| Chaps | ziroday:Is this a problem with any AV software(Meaning Ubuntu problem) or is it something the AV vendor needs to fix? | 10:51 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: But yeah, I assume you're using Gnome. Try it though. | 10:51 |
| kujiu | ThorB: do you have define static ip in network config ? | 10:52 |
| Al__NZ | evening all. | 10:53 |
| fuzzy | is there a better place to trouble shoot? | 10:53 |
| Al__NZ | Does ubuntu mount NTFS disks/partitions automatically? | 10:53 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Any progress? | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: yes (not at boot when you access them) | 10:54 |
| salm0n | mobi-sheep: ah yes now it works : - ) | 10:54 |
| fuzzy | mine mount when i click them | 10:54 |
| fuzzy | my ntfs drives | 10:54 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Good. :) | 10:54 |
| salm0n | thanks | 10:54 |
| Al__NZ | erUSUL: interesting. I was trying to look at a drive in Gnome, but had to manually issue the commands in terminal to get it to mount? | 10:54 |
| fuzzy | anyone have a good idea of gfx drivers in ubuntu? | 10:55 |
| ThorB | kujiu, uhm Nope i dont think I did that' | 10:55 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: It'll work for xchat because you changed the value that gnome handles -- which firefox will check when it comes to irc url handlers. ;) | 10:55 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Anyway. Have fun cartooning. ;O | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: no idea what may be heppening Works for many people as is... but add cases and bugs happen | 10:55 |
| ThorB | kujiu dont I need some "Samba" thingy/? | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | !av | Chaps | 10:55 |
| ubottu | Chaps: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 10:55 |
| Al__NZ | erUSUL: yeah the drive is dodgy - that could have something to do with ti | 10:55 |
| Al__NZ | it | 10:55 |
| kujiu | you must have openssh-server installed | 10:56 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: could be that it does not get properly identified | 10:56 |
| kujiu | and connect to the other PC in Nautilus (edit the location and enter ssh://your_username@host_ip/) | 10:58 |
| === maxjezy is now known as rainman | ||
| Al__NZ | and if I ddrescue that drive, will the resulting file be the same size as the drive, or the same size as the used space? | 10:59 |
| Chaps | erUSUL: We are the local African Sophos distributor, so this is unfortunetely our business (AV)...and need to help this customer... | 10:59 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: the former; the same size as the drive/partition | 11:00 |
| Chaps | The only other option we have is to change to a different distro | 11:00 |
| erUSUL | Chaps: sorry did not read your exact problem | 11:00 |
| joaopinto | Chaps, I believe the avast linux version works fine on Ubuntu, but I am not sure, your customer is aware of the differences regarding virus on Linux, right ? | 11:01 |
| fuzzy | anyone had any nvidia gfx driver problems? all opengl windows are empty. cant see anything on google | 11:02 |
| erUSUL | fuzzy: nope sorry; you installed the correct driver right? | 11:03 |
| fuzzy | i got it straight from nvidia(not the best idea) closed xwindow did sudo sh driver. it compiled to kernal then screwed up | 11:05 |
| fuzzy | after that i uninstalled it. and reinstalled from ubuntu repos. though i can see now. opengl doesn't work | 11:06 |
| clepto | i find it seriously amusing to run xp in a vm under linux now.... | 11:06 |
| clepto | instead of the other way around | 11:07 |
| Al__NZ | erUSUL: so if I want to ddrescue a small 10g disk to my 100gig disk that my ubunut boots off I so far have : sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /dev/sda - but of course I dont want to write the output file to my working dev/sda/ - do I need to specify a file or dir on sda? | 11:07 |
| fuzzy | i've run wine in colinux in win xp. its strngly reliable | 11:07 |
| clepto | lol | 11:07 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: NO! | 11:07 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: I made notes for myself so I could link on IRC links in Firefox and that'll prompt me to XChat. Do you want it? It's a command. ;o | 11:08 |
| clepto | the only reason i even use xp in a vm anymore is to watch netflix movies... | 11:08 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb somefile_on_your_good_disk | 11:08 |
| Al__NZ | erUSUL: and that file must first exist?? | 11:08 |
| fuzzy | i'm gonna be using xp a lot more if i can't get ubuntu running again in next 10 min | 11:09 |
| clepto | lol whats wrong? | 11:09 |
| salm0n | what does that mean mobi-sheep ? | 11:09 |
| === rainman is now known as MaxJesus | ||
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: no; it will be created... i do not have ddrescue installed check its man page for the details | 11:09 |
| fuzzy | tried to update my drivers of nvidia website | 11:09 |
| fuzzy | screwed everything. uninstalled the drivers and installed the ones from repos | 11:09 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: if you did sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /dev/sda you will be ruining the good disk... | 11:09 |
| fuzzy | now any opengl window is transparent to desktop | 11:10 |
| clepto | ah i just use the driver manager in administration menu the nvidia drivers have caused me all kinds of grief | 11:10 |
| BigMack83 | when creating a directory, and i set an owner on the dir with chown, is there a way i can make all new/moved/copied files in that dir keep that same ownership as the parent i set? | 11:10 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: It mean next time you reinstall your Ubuntu and you can't remember how you did it. You just run the commands in the terminal and it'll change the value without having to do ALT + F2 and gconf-editor and such. | 11:10 |
| clepto | on my desktop i still cant get dual monitors to work with my xfx 9600gtx | 11:10 |
| Helpless | Hi all , i got 2xQuestions | 11:10 |
| salm0n | oh ok. yeah, please. | 11:10 |
| mobi-sheep | salm0n: I take notes for myself. What packages to install. What packages to remove. What workarounds and such. I suggest you do the same thing. ;) | 11:10 |
| fuzzy | yah. i've found u can't run anything that isn't from the ubuntu repos | 11:11 |
| Al__NZ | erUSUL: So i could sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /dev/sda/testrescue ? | 11:11 |
| Helpless | first one , how do i disable the list of the last used documents in ubuntu ? | 11:11 |
| fuzzy | even new vlc ubuntu will cause greif | 11:11 |
| salm0n | ok thats a good idea | 11:11 |
| clepto | fuzzy: i dont know about drivers but i got all kinds of programs that arent in the ubuntu repos on my laptop | 11:11 |
| fuzzy | ok. i've just had bad experiences with stuff that isn't from the repos | 11:12 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: no; sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /home/$USER/testrescue.img for example (that will save the image in your home folder with an informative extension) | 11:12 |
| mobi-sheep | fuzzy: Yes you can run anything that's not in repos but that's not recommended as you'll be installing softwares that you don't know if it's trustworthy. Just like XP. | 11:12 |
| syn-ack | I remember when one could get away with running something out of the deb repos in ubuntu and be fairly safe | 11:12 |
| Al__NZ | ohh - i see | 11:12 |
| clepto | fuzzy: yeah ive been using linux since 97 and i still feel like a complete retard at times... | 11:12 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: /dev/sd** are espcial files only used for very special operations | 11:12 |
| syn-ack | erUSUL: | 11:12 |
| Al__NZ | right | 11:12 |
| Al__NZ | well its ok - i already killed my linux box with it :-) | 11:13 |
| fuzzy | yes well like when using everything you have to make that judgement. but many things that are trustworthy have issues | 11:13 |
| erUSUL | syn-ack: ? | 11:13 |
| syn-ack | I hope you can get thru to this guy, hes been in a channel that I op on undernet and we've not be able to get thru to him | 11:13 |

| salm0n | mobi-sheep? | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | syn-ack: you are talking about fuzzy ? | 11:14 |
| fuzzy | any alternative where i can reset to defaults. get rid of wharee is screwed | 11:14 |
| clepto | fuzzy: yep, the problem with alotta newer hardware is the manufacturers dont support linux becuase it doesnt make financial sense. so they dont invest much into it. and they cant release their specs becuase if they do then the competetors get them and can duplicate and reverse engineer them. | 11:14 |
| syn-ack | erUSUL: no, Al__NZ | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | syn-ack: ahh; ok | 11:14 |

| mobi-sheep | salm0n: Save this somewhere --> gconftool -s --type string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/command "/usr/bin/xchat --existing --url=\"%s\"" | 11:15 |

| ziroday | Threetimes_: yeah procmail can get titchy like that | 11:27 |
| fuzzy | ubuntu is easiest linux distro. but it's still linux. It currently fails in many user friendly areas | 11:27 |
| Draglor | Maybe they were not very patient or something like that, but what I read here in the last hours seems .. well ... very unpolite to me | 11:28 |
| fuzzy | so you have to explain that to them | 11:28 |
| joaopinto | Draglor, ok, so please watch silently :) Unless you need or can provide support ;) | 11:28 |
| ziroday | Threetimes_: try $HOME/Maildir/.Junk | 11:28 |
| Flannel | Draglor: Is there something on topic we could help you with today? | 11:28 |
| ziroday | err $HOME/Maildir/.Junk/ | 11:28 |
| joaopinto | fuzzy, do you have a support question, there is an off topic channel for general chating... | 11:28 |
| Draglor | joaopinto: Like you? (Was this an support question? no ;) ) | 11:28 |
| joaopinto | !ot | fuzzy | 11:28 |

| fuzzy | though my problem is very odd | 11:29 |
| fuzzy | all opengl areas appear transparent. after i tried to install latest drivers from nvidia site | 11:30 |
| Draglor | fuzzy: patience may be the key ;) I think most users i send here weren't very patient at all, too ... sometimes you have to wait a bit longer forr answers ... everyone here is helping you for free and they may have othere things to do as well | 11:30 |
| fuzzy | exactly how i see it. they are donating there time | 11:31 |
| n0gear | my scp inside LAN runs at 20KB/s is that normal? | 11:32 |
| fuzzy | i don't recommend ubuntu to friends. I will show them beryl and stuff. You have to be a technical user with some appreciation | 11:32 |
| jrib | !beryl | fuzzy | 11:33 |
| ubottu | fuzzy: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 11:33 |

| ziroday | valentin_: well you can configure most of the stuff yourself by editing the config files | 11:35 |

| ziroday | !ebox | valentin_ otherwise | 11:35 |

| Slart | oenone1: I think it's the same in any linux variant.. you download the file.. run it.. it installs.. you run the game | 11:36 |
| fuzzy | oenonel. to run windows apps. just go to menus and go system -> admin -> synaptic and find wine | 11:36 |
| Slart | oenone1: if it still has a linux client.. not sure about that | 11:36 |

| Slart | imc_: try this "DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-panel" | 11:48 |
| imc_ | Slart, thanks, trying | 11:48 |

| erUSUL | masquerade: why is failing like that i dunno | 11:52 |
| tmavy | Is anything similiar to (win)TotalCommander in Ubuntu? | 11:52 |
| erUSUL | masquerade: but maybe a bit of googling of that errors shed some light | 11:52 |
| petx | hi all... anyone knows... why mozilla cant browse ...?? but i connect the internet... | 11:52 |

| remoteCTR1 | ah ok | 11:53 |
| tmavy | thx guys | 11:53 |
| remoteCTR1 | np | 11:53 |
| Slart | imc_: that might work.. but if it's a configuration thing that is broken that might not help | 11:53 |
| tmavy | how to drag it just through the browser | 11:53 |
| Slart | imc_: not sure if you can do "sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge gnome-panel" but it might be worth a try | 11:53 |
| erUSUL | masquerade: you changed media manufacturer ? sometimes there are weird incompatibilities between burner model and media | 11:53 |
| imc_ | Slart, thanks, will try | 11:53 |
| masquerade | erUSUL: i was able to burn these before | 11:54 |
| Draglor | masquerade: Maybe the manufacturer has changed. even if it's the same name for the blank CD it has not to be the same manufacturer | 11:54 |
| belair | hi | 11:54 |
| mobi-sheep | tmavy: gnome-commander is in the repos if you want to give it a try. | 11:55 |
| mobi-sheep | tmavy: sudo aptitude install gnome-commander | 11:55 |
| davro | remoteCTR1: or gnome-commander | 11:55 |
| masquerade | Draglor: okay, i will look | 11:55 |
| Draglor | masquerade: Or try burning using wodim directly | 11:55 |

| Slart | imc_: did you try that sudo apt-get command? | 11:59 |
| imc_ | Slart, yes, and it reinstalled but logging out and back in gave same situation. | 12:00 |

| abdullah | in ubuntu how do i install tar.gz pakages | 12:02 |
| rabten | i've used 100% of the space i initially partitioned for ubuntu | 12:02 |
| Slart | abdullah: depends on what is in the package | 12:02 |
| ubuntistas | in the torrent txt that iam downloading the movie file | 12:02 |
| Slart | abdullah: it could be everything from binaries, source code to images of spanish miniature horses | 12:03 |

| masquerade | Slart: roflmao | 12:03 |
| ziroday | ubuntistas: we can't help you with that sorry | 12:04 |
| Slart | abdullah: then there is probably instructions inside the package.. or on the page where you downloaded them | 12:04 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten havwe a look at gparted | 12:04 |
| abdullah | how can i convert tar.gz to .deb | 12:04 |

| rabten | remoteCTR1: : problem is i don't think i have any more room to install it | 12:04 |
| abdullah | bluemind | 12:04 |
| ziroday | rabten: there is also a free space option in the recovery partition, you can clear your apt-cache, see if what files are hogging space and remove them as well as install localepurge and remove unneeded locales. | 12:04 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: : i tried booting up from the live cd and using gparted on it | 12:05 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten, the filesystem keeps a free space of 5% for the root user there is a way to change that number | 12:05 |
| ahmed | I want to create a jaunty domU on hardy dom0 xen machine, any idea | 12:05 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten clever thing to do, what went wrong? | 12:05 |

| Slart | imc_: ok.. open a terminal and run this.. "gconftool - -recursive-unset /apps/panel " | 12:05 |
| bluemind | abdullah: yeah? | 12:05 |
| rabten | well, it just seemed to stall | 12:05 |
| imc_ | Slart, doing it. . . | 12:05 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| remoteCTR1 | ahmed, idea on what precisely? | 12:05 |
| imc_ | Slart, as root or as user? | 12:05 |
| Slart | imc_: and this next command I want you to be careful with... copy paste it.. but be very careful not to include any extra spaces or such.. ok? rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel | 12:06 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten, stall??? i hope you didnt interrupt gparted in the middle of something?? | 12:06 |
| Slart | imc_: as regular suser | 12:06 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: : i really don't think it was doing anything | 12:06 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: yes i interrupted | 12:06 |
| imc_ | Slart ;) can't cut and paste as I am on a different box but I'll be super careful! | 12:06 |
| Slart | imc_: it's your user settings we want to change.. if you use sudo you will be changing the settings for "root" | 12:06 |
| ahmed | remoteCTR1, I don't know from where to start there is no template in xen-tools like hardy.d or other destro | 12:06 |
| imc_ | Yep, big duh Slart, sorry | 12:06 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: you think i should run it again off the live cd and just wait? | 12:07 |
| imc_ | Carefully* trying the next command :) | 12:07 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten, err... stupid question; you have seen that there is an apply button that you have to hit in order to aplly changes in gparted? | 12:07 |
| susbwoy | Slart: Still no new kernel, but update-grub sees it, and says it updates menu.lst, but it doesnt :\ http://pastebin.com/d5e1f5d63 | 12:07 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i left it for about half an hour and the progression bar hadn't moved at all | 12:07 |
| abdullah | in ubuntu login screen i cant login as root user | 12:07 |
| Slart | susbwoy: can you pastebin your menu.lst? | 12:07 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: yes? | 12:07 |
| Draglor | masquerade: maybe you should get another burning tool than brasero .... ;) | 12:07 |
| imc_ | SLart, okay I ran both | 12:07 |
| Slart | abdullah: quite right.. you're not supposed to.. use sudo instead | 12:07 |
| deeflex | Hi I'm trying to install ubuntu on a SATA disk. BIOS detects the drive, but when I reach the partitioning step in the install, the disk is not available. | 12:07 |
| imc_ | No complaints so far... | 12:07 |
| Slart | !root | abdullah | 12:07 |
| ubottu | abdullah: 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 | 12:07 |
| remoteCTR1 | ahmed, try doing that with the debootstrap method and just fill in the proper values for jaunty in xentools.conf | 12:07 |
| Slart | imc_: now try restarting gnome-panel | 12:08 |
| imc_ | Righto Slart, trying | 12:08 |
| coz_ | masquerade, I have not had good luck with brasero if you are on gnome try gnomebaker | 12:08 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i applied the changes and nothing happened for half an hour | 12:08 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten :D yes | 12:08 |
| Draglor | coz_: Seems the same to him .. wodim burns correctly, brasero has an error | 12:08 |
| Slart | imc_: what these commands did was remove all panel settings.. both in the gnome "registry".. and in the config files.. hopefully you'll get a brand new panel | 12:08 |
| masquerade | coz_: i tried burning from the cli and it seems it worked | 12:08 |
| susbwoy | Slart: http://pastebin.com/d27383e62 there is my menu.lst | 12:08 |
| rabten | the progression bar didn't move | 12:09 |
| ahmed | remoteCTR1, I try it but when I start the machine with xen create, it hang up after a while without knowing a reason | 12:09 |
| coz_ | masquerade, ok then yeah If you want a gui based burner try gnomebaker | 12:09 |
| imc_ | Still getting that libglade-WARNING unexpected element <requires-version> inside <glade-interface> on applet 11 and still timing out on applet 15 Slart, | 12:09 |
| abdullah | ubottu: i changed the root password from the users and group and i tried to open it | 12:09 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:09 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: so you think i should just run it again and go to sleep and see if anything's changed in 10 hours? | 12:09 |
| Slart | imc_: hmm.. why are the applets still there.. they should be gone by now | 12:09 |
| remoteCTR1 | ahmed, have you found any hints in any log files? | 12:09 |
| imc_ | Slart very weird | 12:10 |
| ahmed | remoteCTR1, sorry but no | 12:10 |
| Slart | imc_: if you start gconf-editor from a terminal and look in apps/panel/applets.. what do you see? | 12:10 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i figured that the lack of disk space was causing gparted's operations to fail | 12:10 |
| imc_ | moment... | 12:10 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten, basically i cannot tell per remote diagnosis what exactly happened but it might also be that 0% free space is to few to get gparted startet... maybe try removing some things from your home dir f.ex by moving it to the other partition or at least empty trash etc | 12:11 |
| ahmed | remoteCTR1, I'm trying ubuntu-vm-builder now hope it's work | 12:11 |
| imc_ | Oh | 12:11 |
| rabten | okie | 12:11 |
| abdullah | ubottu :thanks it worked | 12:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:11 |
| rabten | thanks | 12:11 |
| remoteCTR1 | ahmed, i got no experience on that one, for me the debootstrap vriant allways worked... | 12:11 |
| ahmed | remoteCTR1, did you try jaunty with debootstrap before | 12:12 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i haven't got anything in trash | 12:12 |
| imc_ | SLart, mucho stuff there, but only five directories, 0-4 | 12:12 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i just installed ubuntu yesterday | 12:12 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: the only thing i've installed is xchat | 12:13 |
| abdullah | ubottu: what is your email address? | 12:13 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:13 |
| Slart | imc_: try "pkill -9 gnome-panel" first.. then try starting it again | 12:13 |
| imc_ | Slart, trying | 12:13 |
| remoteCTR1 | ahmed, not specifically jaunty but from hardy to intrepid and even debian etch and lenny everything worked like charms... | 12:13 |
| imc_ | THough I think I've tried that' | 12:13 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i've only 2GB in memory and its all used | 12:13 |
| abdullah | ubottu: what is you email address? | 12:13 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:13 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i might delete some things and try gparted again | 12:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten, ya well that might be a liiittle undersized :D | 12:14 |
| Slart | susbwoy: hmm.. your menu list only mentions the .11 kernel.. but grub-update found the new .13 kernel.. odd | 12:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | rabten, uninstall openoffice | 12:14 |
| imc_ | Slart, so when I do that I get the same libglade-WARNING | 12:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | or something like that | 12:14 |
| abdullah | ubottu:!! | 12:14 |
| imc_ | And the same crash at applet 15 | 12:14 |
| bazhang | abdullah, she's a bot | 12:14 |
| imc_ | abdullah, please stop teasing ubottu | 12:14 |
| abdullah | i am also a bot | 12:14 |
| ahmed | remoteCTR1, ok I'd just install a fresh jaunty-64 now I'll try again and update you with the status, thanks for your help | 12:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | abdullah, ubottu keeps telling you that it is a ROBOT man, please get the message;) | 12:15 |
| bazhang | abdullah, wrong channel for you then | 12:15 |
| Slart | imc_: but you didn't have an applet 15 in gconf-editor? | 12:15 |
| imc_ | Slart, I don't see one. | 12:15 |
| remoteCTR1 | ahmed, no problem:) | 12:15 |
| imc_ | The applets I see in conf-editor are in directories, titled 0 through 4 | 12:15 |
| susbwoy | Slart: I know! very weird. What can i do from here? Is the edit of menu.lst most likely just a rewrite of what's there but different filenames for the kernel? | 12:16 |
| Slart | imc_: and in apps/panel/default_setup/applets? no applet 15 there either? | 12:16 |
| imc_ | Checking | 12:16 |
| susbwoy | Slart: If that's the case, it's not an issue. But im worried about that uuid stuff, no idea what it is. If i can just point to the .28-13 kernel, then change the title, thats fine and dandy | 12:16 |
| abdullah | ubottu: you are a bot and a dog!!! | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:17 |
| remoteCTR1 | abdullah, stop trolling man | 12:17 |
| Slart | susbwoy: I think it uses uuid | 12:17 |
| abdullah | ubottu you have gone mad | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:17 |
| bazhang | abdullah, /msg ubottu | 12:17 |
| imc_ | Slart in Apps/panel/default setup/applets there are no numbered applets, though things like Clock and mixer | 12:17 |
| Slart | susbwoy: I think it uses uuid's to find the right partitions and such.. not sure if you can just change the filename of the kernel to boot.. perhaps it works.. not sure if it will mess anything else up though | 12:18 |
| abdullah | ubottu: you are a dog | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about you are a dog | 12:18 |
| Slart | imc_: and you didn't run "sudo gconf-editor" ? | 12:18 |
| imc_ | Slart correct | 12:18 |
| abdullah | ubottu you are a bad girl | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:18 |
| bazhang | abdullah, stay on topic or you will be removed | 12:18 |
| imc_ | New error: GTK Warning: gtk_widget size allocate attempt to allocate with width -1 and height 24 | 12:19 |
| abdullah | bazhang hoe can you remove me | 12:19 |
| remoteCTR1 | abdullah, keep trolling and you will find out | 12:19 |
| imc_ | Slart, i tried removing applets or buttons I had added in case that was the problem; now the applet that crashes is on Applet 9 | 12:20 |
| abdullah | you all are dogs | 12:20 |
| Slart | imc_: well.. you can reset all your gnome-settings in pretty much the same way you've already done.. but that seems a bit overkill | 12:20 |
| imc_ | Slart, well, as I say it's a new install so there's not much I'll lose | 12:20 |
| remoteCTR1 | waht a smacktard... | 12:21 |
| hero1900 | i have problem in burning cds or dvds it gave me error before it began the burning process on both k3b and brasero | 12:21 |
| Slart | imc_: you can try the Edit->Find command to search for "applet_9" perhaps it's somewhere sneaky | 12:21 |
| MatBoy | what do people use here to check id a daemon is running and start it when it fails ? I need to check the ps output I think | 12:21 |
| mobi-sheep | imc_: What did you do that left your Ubuntu deformed? | 12:21 |
| imc_ | SLart, trying | 12:21 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, so wahts the message? | 12:21 |
| jrib | MatBoy: what are *you* trying to do? | 12:21 |
| imc_ | mobi-sheep I guess I thought bad thoughts or sumthin | 12:21 |
| susbwoy | Slart: Is there a way I can tell update-grub to spit out the new "edits" into another file | 12:21 |
| Draglor | MatBoy: pidof $daemon should help | 12:21 |
| hero1900 | i have the log file it is big | 12:21 |
| susbwoy | other than menu.lst | 12:21 |
| jrib | imc_: did you try what I suggested earlier? | 12:21 |
| hero1900 | and error has been occurred thats it | 12:22 |
| pkkm | how to send e-mail from command line? | 12:22 |
| imc_ | jrib please repeat it? | 12:22 |
| MatBoy | jrib: I have a daemon that crashes from time to time... I need to restart it :) | 12:22 |
| Slart | susbwoy: not that I know f | 12:22 |
| jrib | imc_: create a fresh new user and see if gnome works for him | 12:22 |
| susbwoy | damn | 12:22 |
| gribouille | hi | 12:22 |
| jrib | MatBoy: what daemon? | 12:22 |
| imc_ | jrib okay | 12:22 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, in that case nopaste it to pastebin.com please and paaste the link to it here | 12:22 |
| sipior | pkkm: have a look at the man page for "mail" | 12:22 |
| Slart | MatBoy: I think what you're doing is called a "watchdog".. there has to be a tool for this in the repos.. but yes.. checking ps output might work | 12:23 |
| remoteCTR1 | pkkm, you can for example use the sendEmail application for that | 12:23 |
| hero1900 | i already put it in ubuntu forum | 12:23 |
| === painted is now known as blah | ||
| MatBoy | jrib: own build one, running using perl | 12:23 |
| hero1900 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7477146#post7477146 | 12:23 |
| imc_ | Slart, so applet 9 finds nothing. 9 finds /system/default/storage/options/iso_9600 and something similar under schemas | 12:23 |
| === blah is now known as painted | ||
| gribouille | I have a problem with firefox 3. from times to times, when I quit the browser, the window takes a very long time to disappear. this is very annoying | 12:23 |
| jrib | MatBoy: would make more sense to me to just fix it so it does not crash anymore | 12:23 |
| hero1900 | but no one can help i guess | 12:23 |
| Slart | imc_: you might want to check in that folder we tried clearing out.. .gnome something.. perhaps it's there | 12:23 |
| === painted is now known as blah | ||
| Slart | imc_: but I have to go now.. oral exam in 35 minutes =) | 12:24 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, we will see, gimme a sec... | 12:24 |
| indus | !troll | 12:24 |

| hero1900 | ok thanks | 12:25 |
| indus | hi all | 12:25 |
| imc_ | Slart thanks for all the help | 12:25 |
| === sean is now known as Guest25388 | ||
| indus | anyone needs help? | 12:25 |
| Slart | imc_: you're welcome.. sorry we couldn't fix it, perhaps someone else knows more about gnome-panel and its applets | 12:25 |
| mobi-sheep | imc_: I wonder if you ran md5sum before you burn it? | 12:26 |
| susbwoy | Slart: err i think I found something. my menu.lst says "Should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system?" "updatedefaultentry=false" is the default | 12:26 |
| unop | MatBoy, using the shell. while true; do invoke_daemon; done | 12:26 |
| imc_ | jrib, new user has all. | 12:26 |
| susbwoy | Slart: maybe change that to true? | 12:27 |
| imc_ | Slart, thanks again | 12:27 |
| gribouille | I have a problem with firefox 3. from times to times, when I quit the browser, the window takes a very long time to disappear. this is very annoying | 12:27 |
| Slart | susbwoy: that sounds promising.. but it should still create a menu choice for it | 12:27 |
| Draglor | unop: This could start very many processes ... wouldn't it be better to check if it's still running first? | 12:27 |
| imc_ | jrib I think it may be that I'm in the netbook remix and I changed to classic ubuntu desktop not this netbook view... | 12:27 |
| Slart | susbwoy: but give it a try.. remember to run "sudo update-grub" after you change the menu.lst | 12:27 |
| jrib | imc_: check ~/.xsession-errors | 12:28 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, appears to me as if yur brasero doesnt find any cd/dvd/drives at all and thus gets an input/output error | 12:28 |
| imc_ | jrib, checking | 12:28 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, are your drives there in nautilus? | 12:28 |
| hero1900 | ya | 12:28 |
| hero1900 | pioneer | 12:28 |
| susbwoy | Slart: I think i know what happened. When i went through the kernel install, i chose keep current version. That action probably changed updatedefaultentry to false. | 12:28 |
| susbwoy | Slart: but trying now :) | 12:28 |
| imc_ | jrib I have a festival of errors; I'll cat to a file and paste it somewhere | 12:29 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, says BraseroBurnURI no burn:// URI found | 12:29 |
| hero1900 | and when i put a black dvd brasero open dialog automaticlly | 12:29 |
| unop | Draglor, as long as the command doesn't return .. this construct will run only one instance at a time .. when that instance fails/returns, the loop iterates to run another | 12:29 |
| petx | hi all... mozilla didnt work... but I connect XChat... any clue....?? | 12:29 |
| gribouille | I have a problem with firefox 3. from times to times, when I quit the browser, the window takes a very long time to disappear. this is very annoying | 12:29 |
| hero1900 | ?? | 12:29 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, if you enter a cd/dvd with content into that drive, can you access the data or do you get an error there too? | 12:30 |
| Draglor | unop: yes and if it returns it'll start the next instance and so on | 12:30 |
| petx | hi all... mozilla firefox didnt work... but I connect XChat... any clue....?? | 12:30 |
| petx | I cant browse... T_T | 12:30 |
| gribouille | petx, firefox sux | 12:30 |
| unop | Draglor, most commands/daemons don't return | 12:30 |
| MatBoy | jrib: it should actually not crash... I need to see how much it will be restarted | 12:30 |
| petx | gribouille, so... what should I use..?? | 12:30 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, please write the name of the person you are talking to infront of your statements so one can see that you are talking to one through all the noise in here | 12:30 |
| gribouille | petx, firefox | 12:31 |
| n0gear | ls | 12:31 |
| hero1900 | <remoteCTR1> ok | 12:31 |
| mobi-sheep | petx: Make sure you're not operating in Offline Mode. | 12:31 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 ok?? | 12:31 |
| petx | mobi-sheep, how I know its offline or not...?? | 12:31 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, ok :D so do you see the content of cd/dvds? | 12:31 |
| susbwoy | Slart: ok still not adding the entry. argh... | 12:32 |
| th0r | petx: look at the File menu and see if Work Offline is checked | 12:32 |
| imc_ | jrib could you please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/198460 ? | 12:32 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 wait i want to check now | 12:32 |
| mobi-sheep | petx: In Firefox, File --> Work Offline. If it's checked, that's the problem. | 12:32 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, kk | 12:32 |
| Draglor | just tried this unop .... (commands "cat $file" and a irc bot "supybot") both are repeated very fast very often ... the bot refuses to start a second time, but it's tried again and again ... until Ctrl-C | 12:33 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 it is working fine | 12:33 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, going for a smoke, be back in 5 | 12:33 |
| petx | th0r, mobi-sheep, it works.... thank u so much... ^^ | 12:33 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 good as before | 12:33 |
| mobi-sheep | petx: Wow. Good! :3 | 12:33 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, ah ok well lets give it one more shot, have you tryed burning with gnomebaker? | 12:33 |
| petx | hehee... sry.... I'm new... | 12:33 |
| unop | Draglor, supybot is your perl script? | 12:33 |
| hero1900 | no | 12:33 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 no | 12:34 |
| rob_p | unop, Draglor , Probably wiser to test for a running instance and then spawn another when it's no longer found. Simple shell script can accomplish that. | 12:34 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, give it a shot and start it from commandline so you can paste the output, maybe that one returns something more readable... | 12:34 |
| hero1900 | gnomebaker i only tried with k3b and brasero | 12:34 |
| Draglor | unop: i just tried this command, yes | 12:34 |
| hero1900 | gnomebaker ok | 12:34 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, have a try with gnomebaker then | 12:34 |
| om26er | how to git install | 12:34 |
| hero1900 | gnomebaker ok | 12:35 |
| unop | Draglor, did you write supybot ? | 12:35 |
| Draglor | rob_p: That's what I said ;) I just ran this command to show unop that it doesn't do what MatBoy wants | 12:35 |
| Draglor | no unop | 12:35 |
| susbwoy | Slart: Problem solved. I ended up deleting menu.lst and let update-grub create a new one for me. That was bloody weird how it couldnt edit it. Thanks for your time | 12:35 |
| Draglor | unop: supybot is a python bot, not a perl one | 12:35 |
| om26er | how do i install this git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel | 12:36 |
| unop | rob_p, that's really what the construct it supposed to be doing .. as long as the command to be run doesn't return until it has finished executing or has failed | 12:36 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, so now smoke, be back in 5 | 12:36 |
| rob_p | Draglor, In fact, you could get fancy and create a pidfile and then bounce that against your process list for a match. When the matching pid is no longer found, clear the old pidfile and start again. | 12:36 |
| jim__ | ANY WEMEN | 12:36 |
| Draglor | unop: Normally every command returns, try it yourself using cat/ls/whatever | 12:36 |
| bazhang | jim__, not here | 12:36 |
| petx | mobi-sheep, everytime I start the firefox... it set to offline mode... | 12:37 |
| jim__ | ARGHHH | 12:37 |
| sipior | jim__: good luck with that approach | 12:37 |
| bazhang | !ot > jim__ | 12:37 |
| ubottu | jim__, please see my private message | 12:37 |
| mobi-sheep | petx: You installed Ubuntu recently? | 12:37 |
| unop | Draglor, right .. consider the daemon ( a long running process ) the same .. cat/ls/whatever don't run for so long | 12:37 |
| Draglor | try "while true ; do ls ./ ; done" and you'll see it's repeated again and again .. | 12:37 |
| jim__ | I ALLWAYS HAVE MY WIFE | 12:37 |
| petx | yups... | 12:37 |
| petx | mobi-sheep, yups | 12:37 |
| bazhang | jim__, take chat elsewhere thanks | 12:37 |
| unop | Draglor, that is precisely the idea :) | 12:37 |
| mobi-sheep | petx: Okay. Well, I don't know why this is happening but let's do this and see if it resolve your issue... | 12:38 |
| Draglor | unop: but the daemon (like supybot is) returns immediately to the shell (otherwise you could not send another command afterwards) | 12:38 |
| jim__ | SORRY FREAKS | 12:38 |
| rob_p | unop, Some things work ok as you suggested, others don't. If the spawning process returns (as in forking the instance to bg), then it will spawn another, and another, etc. | 12:38 |
| sipior | time to go, jim__ | 12:38 |
| petx | mobi-sheep, ok... | 12:38 |
| n0gear | i've got 2 terminals running + irssi, is it normal that i still have 1Gb of memory in use? jaunty | 12:38 |
| jim__ | FUCK YOU | 12:38 |
| sipior | bye now | 12:38 |
| Draglor | He wants to have a daemon started if it doesn't run anymore .. so he just has to check for the process (maybe pidof ..) before starting it | 12:38 |
| Draglor | like in if [ "`pidof $daemon`" == "" ] ; then $daemon ;fi | 12:39 |
| unop | Draglor, while true; do pidof supybot || supybot; sleep $X; done | 12:39 |
| mobi-sheep | petx: cd ~ && mv .mozilla .mozilla-backup | 12:39 |
| unop | Draglor, if pidof $daemon; ... | 12:39 |
| mobi-sheep | petx: Close the firefox. Run the command in the terminal. Try Firefox again. | 12:39 |
| Draglor | yes .. would be shorter ;) | 12:39 |
| Draglor | I don't like "while true ..." .... it's easy to mess up with it | 12:40 |
| ViperMax | Hi Folk, Does anybody know any Linux program for economy/accounting? I am running ubuntu 9.04 | 12:40 |
| aethelrick | gnucash | 12:40 |
| unop | Draglor, how so? | 12:40 |
| unop | Draglor, and what would you use instead? | 12:40 |
| th0r | petx: check these urls also....http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/susenovell-60/updated-network-manager-now-firefox-stuck-in-offline-mode-472478/ and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/31925 | 12:41 |
| ViperMax | gnucash i for personal economy.. I meant something toward small business | 12:41 |
| Draglor | cron | 12:41 |
| unop | Draglor, hmm, now that's overkill | 12:41 |
| petx | mobi-sheep, hmm.. I'm going there... | 12:41 |
| Draglor | a script running the whole time is less overkill than a script ran by cron? | 12:41 |
| Draglor | well .. I have another opinion about that | 12:41 |
| unop | Draglor, a script has finer granularity (less than one minute) than cron | 12:42 |
| sipior | Draglor: well, unop's script sleeps most of the time, it's hardly running constantly. is cron's one-minute resolution sufficient for your purposes? | 12:42 |
| aethelrick | I don't have need for it myself ViperMax but their site does say "Small business accounting" maybe it's worth another look | 12:42 |
| rob_p | Draglor, I | 12:42 |
| Draglor | unop: I know ... but normally you don't want to check for a daemon more than once a minute | 12:42 |
| rob_p | Draglor, I'm with unop on this one. | 12:42 |
| ViperMax | I will aethelrick-- tnx | 12:43 |
| C-S-B | is there an easier way to get bluetooth phone tethering working without installing blueman, i don't regret my choice to install blueman but I would have thought there was an easy way.... | 12:43 |
| unop | Draglor, normally? what is normal? | 12:43 |
| Draglor | sipior, rob_p, unop: It wasn't me asking that question. ;) I | 12:43 |
| unop | Draglor, but i tell you what isn't normal .. supybot forking into the background :) | 12:44 |
| Draglor | unop: supybot should not fork? | 12:44 |
| Draglor | should it run in fg? why? | 12:44 |
| Noble | My mother managed to pull the power on my server during a thunderstorm even though I have UPS. I told her to put it back in and turn the computer back on, however the ssh deamon does not seem to start. Do I need to log in to my user account in GDM to get it to start? Never experienced that before. | 12:45 |
| unop | Draglor, to allow something like this to run as intended. while true; do supybot; done | 12:45 |
| imc_ | jrib just checking that you saw/care that pastebin link I left? | 12:45 |
| Draglor | unop: this is not intended | 12:45 |
| aleksander | I'd like to ask for help: I have over a hundred small text files and would like to put them all in one file but need to put an empty line between them in this file, anybody knows what I could use for that? I joined them all by: cat *.txt > file.txt | 12:45 |
| Draglor | just try it using any daemon you want | 12:45 |
| jrib | imc_: no sorry (walking out the door) | 12:45 |
| imc_ | kk, thanks | 12:45 |
| Draglor | supybot is a daemon .. every daemons forks into bg .. thats what a daemon does | 12:45 |
| unop | aleksander, { for i in *.txt; do cat "$i"; echo; done } > yourbigfile | 12:46 |
| aleksander | thanks unop | 12:46 |
| unop | aleksander, sorry, missed a semicolon. { for i in *.txt; do cat "$i"; echo; done; } > yourbigfile | 12:46 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: i get an error message when i open up Synaptic | 12:46 |

| mobi-sheep | aleksander: Better make a backup too. | 12:47 |
| mobi-sheep | Err... Nevermind. No damages being done. | 12:47 |
| Noble | Again. Do I need to log into GDM to get sshd to start? | 12:47 |
| unop | mobi-sheep, this doesn't clobber the originals .. | 12:47 |
| mobi-sheep | unop: Yeah. I realized that. :3 | 12:47 |
| Draglor | Noble: No, just add it to your runlevel | 12:48 |

| rabten | remoteCTR1: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open failed, please report | 12:48 |
| Draglor | Noble: sshd has nothing to do with your GUI .. | 12:49 |
| rabten | remoteCTR1: that's what i get when i try to open syanptic | 12:49 |
| Draglor | Noble: Just add sshd to your startup (using rcconf i.e.) | 12:49 |
| petx | mobi-sheep, th0r, toolkit.network-manager.disable = true solved it... thanks again... ^^ | 12:49 |
| Noble | Draglor: sshd is already in the startup, however It does not start :P Guess I'll have to phone home and get somebody to check | 12:50 |

| mrasty_ | does anyone know how to burn a multi session cdi disc using ubuntu 9.10 | 12:55 |
| tehDarkAura | is there a walk through available for enable root access to the GUI ? | 12:55 |
| unop | aleksander, it comes about after trying quite a few things out - here's a good place to start. http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide | 12:55 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, just the same error... i suppose you have already tried another blank cd? | 12:55 |
| sipior | tehDarkAura: that...is a bad idea. you can run individual programs as root via gksudo, however. | 12:56 |
| hero1900 | ya i do | 12:56 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 i did try | 12:56 |
| tehDarkAura | yea, it's a bad idea, i know ;) i'm > then noob ;) | 12:56 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 it was working but suddenly stop | 12:57 |
| aleksander | that's a very good starting point, once again many thanks - i needed it urgently | 12:57 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, humm... i frankly spoken cannot tell dude, might even be that your drive is broken... | 12:57 |
| Draglor | But it's much to read aleksander ;) be patient | 12:58 |
| remoteCTR1 | is there a way to access this keyring-manager? | 12:59 |
| th0r | aleksander: you might also look at the linux documentation project...I think it is tldp.org | 12:59 |
| tehDarkAura | n/m i got it -- enable root login @ gui http://barot.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/login-as-a-root-from-gui-for-ubuntu-810/ | 13:00 |
| aleksander | I've already read many man pages, but bash is probably more than I've ever read to date ;) | 13:00 |

| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 it is really very weird i want to know the reason | 13:06 |
| remoteCTR1 | foot, whats the error? | 13:06 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, in that case i suggest you employ the documentation/google;) | 13:07 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 i will give you exactly what i have done | 13:07 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, ok | 13:07 |
| foot | remoteCTR1, the device apparantly does not exist | 13:07 |
| hero1900 | :) | 13:07 |

| remoteCTR1 | joliet ah ok i see, why did you check that in the first place? | 13:08 |
| hero1900 | i did not | 13:08 |
| grawity | I'd keep Joliet enabled :/ | 13:08 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 i did not so tell me what was it?? | 13:09 |

| pv2b | Is there any way to add another LUKS passphrase to a system which is booted, with the encrypted filesystem mounted, without knowing the pre-existing LUKS passphrase? (Got a machine here which is booted with an encrypted partition, that nobody can seem to remember the password to, and therefore don't dare reboot the machine or unmount the partition. argh.) | 13:09 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, i dont even get to see that option, how do you open that iso for burning? | 13:09 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, it is something that has to do with the filesystem but dont ask me any further fo i dunno;) | 13:09 |
| pv2b | (yes, I know, I could dump out the raw filesystem onto another drive and re-encrypt it, i'd rather avoid that if possible.) | 13:10 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 i only try it on data dvd | 13:10 |
| jetienne | q. How can i install another language in open office ? | 13:10 |
| jetienne | like i got english and would like to get french | 13:10 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 but i will try to see if this option in image | 13:10 |
| Joeseph | Brdman: What are you trying to do? Are you trying to find a windows share folder, or share one of Ubuntu's folders? | 13:11 |
| Brdman | no, just connet to a workgroup | 13:11 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, ah, ok, but if you wantr to burn an iso that is the wrong option anyways, you need to go to tools and then click on burn iso | 13:12 |
| remoteCTR1 | hero1900, otherwise that disk wont boot | 13:12 |
| Brdman | eg in windows i can add my lappy to a workgroup and bang i can use the net and network | 13:12 |
| foot | remoteCTR1, I says An error occurred while applying the operation. When I look at the details I see "the device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? | 13:12 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 ya i know now i have solved the problem for data dvds but still have problem for images | 13:13 |
| Joeseph | Brdman: Well, I don't see why you need to be in a workgroup unless you need to either find a shared folder (and you don't have to be in a workgroup for that if I remember right) or set up a windows share on your Ubuntu machine. | 13:13 |
| hero1900 | remoteCTR1 i cannot see that option and i still have the problem | 13:13 |
| grawity | Brdman: You don't need any "workgroups" - usually just connecting the cable is enough (and sometimes, setting the IP address). | 13:13 |
| foot | remoteCTR1, But the first logical partition always works, this happens with the rest.. | 13:13 |
| Brdman | how do i do that | 13:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | foot, that is really weird, what says google? | 13:14 |
| Brdman | what i did was already connected the cable | 13:14 |
| Joeseph | Brdman: Are you connected to the internet on your Ubuntu machine? | 13:14 |
| Brdman | which is why in asking questions here | 13:14 |
| Brdman | no | 13:14 |
| ufk | hello | 13:14 |
| zuluu | hi guys, does anyone know what will happen if i accidentally assigned the same ip address on two different computers on a network? | 13:14 |
| Brdman | this is my xp | 13:14 |
| Brdman | comp | 13:14 |
| foot | remoteCTR1, I cant find anything on google, what should I look for? | 13:14 |
| Joeseph | Brdman: So you're trying to connect to the internet with your ubuntu machine. That's your problem, yes? | 13:14 |
| Brdman | yes | 13:14 |
| remoteCTR1 | foot, best enter the precise error message | 13:15 |
| ufk | i'm trying to configure postfix to work with gmail, i use the tutorial from http://prantran.blogspot.com/2007/01/getting-postfix-to-work-on-ubuntu-with.html and i encountered a problem that after a postfix restart i get the error message "postfix: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: all". any ideas where it comes from ? my inet_interfaces is set to all and i have eth0 up and running so it shouldn't be a problem | 13:15 |
| Joeseph | Brdman: How are you connecting to the internet? | 13:15 |
| Brdman | Im on irc via my windows xp computer desktop, my problem is with the ubuntu laptop | 13:15 |
| sipior | zuluu: there will be some confusion :-) if it's a switched network, you may find that one of the machines behaves almost normally, and the other gets little traffic at all. and then you'll start noticing weird timeouts and login failures...best to avoid the situation, really. | 13:15 |
| Brdman | only have 1 lan cable | 13:16 |
| Joeseph | Brdman: I understand that, I'm asking what your internet connection to your ubuntu machine is.... Wireless, Ethernet,.... | 13:16 |
| zuluu | sipior, thanks, i accidentally assigned the same ip to 2 dif pcs and from then forward i could no longer connect them to this machine... | 13:17 |
| Brdman | it has ethernet and wireless | 13:17 |

| Joeseph | Brdman: Are you trying to connect to your network with an ethernet cord, or wirelessly? | 13:18 |
| Brdman | cord | 13:18 |
| sipior | zuluu: if you're maintaining a number of machines, consider using a central dhcp server, to prevent this sort of collision from occurring in future. | 13:18 |
| remoteCTR1 | ufk, if not, google returns quite some hits for that error message | 13:19 |
| sylvanus_ | it keeps on going back and forth from connected to disconnected and then tells me the connections timed out? | 13:19 |
| ufk | remoteCTR1: i know.. i already checked it for the last hour, i already found the site that you provided but i didn't went through all the posts.. i'll do that now | 13:19 |

| Brdman2 | well my irc doesnt like me dcing the cable | 13:28 |
| Brdman2 | Open System ? Administration ? Networking. | 13:28 |
| petx | sipior, I meant netmask... | 13:28 |
| grawity | indus: See the topic of #pidgin - "Yahoo may be having problems" | 13:28 |
| indus | grawity: if u are behind a nat then that could give issues | 13:28 |
| sipior | petx: perhaps you can explain what your current configuration is, and then mention what you want to change? | 13:28 |
| === c is now known as charitwo | ||
| Brdman2 | it says system> admin> networking, well i cant see networking but only network onnectios | 13:28 |
| indus | grawity: its FUD | 13:29 |
| Joeseph | Brdman2: Sorry, I've forgotten.... are you trying to do wireless or ethernet? | 13:29 |
| petx | sipior, ok... I'll explain my config. | 13:29 |
| indus | grawity: msn might as they keep changing things all the time | 13:29 |
| Brdman2 | ethernet | 13:29 |
| Brdman2 | this is so much harder than i expected | 13:29 |
| eoch | anyone recommend an app that I can run two compare files and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwany know of an application that would let me compare file systems on two different machines that would include permissions so I can see if there is anything different between the two? | 13:30 |
| Joeseph | Brdman2: What are you plugging it into? I've always just plugged my ethernet in and went. | 13:30 |
| xiaocai | hello | 13:30 |
| janie_jane | @search James Scaife | 13:30 |
| ubottu | (search <word>) -- Searches for <word> in the current configuration variables. | 13:30 |
| eoch | oops sorry for the extra stuff | 13:30 |
| indus | eoch: that was fun | 13:30 |
| Brdman2 | alright, lan cable into the slot, | 13:30 |
| Brdman2 | ... | 13:30 |
| petx | sipior, my IP is 192.168.2.250, netmask 255.255.255.0... it's my ISP network... | 13:30 |
| sylvanus_ | it won't connect still! could it be that I have to enter the proxy server? or does it use it by default ? | 13:30 |
| indus | sylvanus_: are you behind a NAT? | 13:30 |
| tunnlrat | Quick Question, i have three HDD's in one computer, can i have a separate version of linux installed on each say Ubuntu on one, Fedora on another and Mandriva on the third?? | 13:30 |
| sylvanus_ | what is a nat? | 13:30 |
| xiaocai | ubuntu is great | 13:30 |
| indus | sylvanus_: use auto proxy detection | 13:30 |
| petx | sipior, then I want to add the IP on netmask 255.255.0.0... It's another network... | 13:31 |
| sylvanus_ | ok let me try again | 13:31 |
| indus | sylvanus_: i mean are you behind some proxy? | 13:31 |
| Joeseph | Brdman2: Yes, System -> Preferences -> Network connections | should be where you want to look at. I might not be able to help, but I'll take a look if you post the output of the command iwconfig to pastebin. | 13:32 |
| Brdman2 | agaig, im pro at windows, total noob at ubuntu | 13:32 |
| sylvanus_ | I not really sure what a proxy is and how to find that out? | 13:32 |
| Brdman2 | again< | 13:32 |
| Brdman2 | if your helping me, pm me instead, much easier to read | 13:33 |
| indus | sylvanus_: what kind of internet connection do u have | 13:33 |
| sipior | petx: why not just use another /24 network? this is a home network, i presume? | 13:33 |
| Joeseph | Brdman2: I don't want to pm. If you want help, you'll stay in here. Besides, other people can help here. | 13:33 |
| sipior | petx: you can just try something like: "sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" | 13:33 |
| sylvanus_ | me brdman? | 13:33 |
| sylvanus_ | Cable internet through broadstripe | 13:34 |
| indus | sylvanus_: if ithe user wants to address you he will use your name like iam using | 13:34 |
| sipior | petx: also make sure that an appropriate entry for the second subnet can be found in your routing table (/sbin/route -n) | 13:34 |
| sylvanus_ | ok | 13:34 |
| indus | just type whom you want to address and press tab to auto complete | 13:34 |
| Brdman2 | but its hard to keep track of every question, im trying to borwse the net for similar problems and i have to stare at the screen to see whos talking to me | 13:34 |
| petx | sipior, hmm... one is my ISP network... another is my campus network... so we use different networks... | 13:34 |
| indus | sylvanus_: hmm not sure what type that is | 13:35 |
| grawity | Brdman2: Doesn't your client hilight messages that start with your nick? (Like this.) | 13:35 |
| indus | sylvanus_: but its ok, anyways i havent used gyachi so iam not sure how to solve your problem | 13:35 |
| sipior | petx: i see. then i assume you're using dhcp to get an address on the campus network? you can try dhclient eth0:0. | 13:35 |
| sylvanus_ | I feel so stupid | 13:35 |
| indus | sylvanus_: why? | 13:35 |
| Brdman2 | it says omebody is talking to me but it doesnt highlight anything, all writing looks the same | 13:35 |
| sipior | petx: although in this case, how are you connected to each network? are you sure you need an aliased interface? | 13:36 |
| petx | sipior, yups | 13:36 |
| sylvanus_ | because I can't get things to work | 13:36 |
| indus | sylvanus_: wait | 13:37 |
| Brdman2 | all i wanted to do was stay up and brose youtube in bed, now im gonna stay up all night figuring out how ubuntu works | 13:37 |
| Joeseph | Brdman2: Your IRC client aside for now (use something else maybe...) I won't be able to help unless you post the output of iwconfig to pastebin. I reccomend using a flashdrive to get it from your ubuntu machine, since it's not connected. | 13:37 |
| indus | sylvanus_: what is the yahoo server in connection settings | 13:37 |
| mib_o6egw3k8 | Any Opera users here? | 13:37 |
| Brdman2 | and how do i even iwconfig, its not like in windows | 13:37 |
| sylvanus_ | hold on gotta open it back up | 13:37 |
| petx | sipior, I need the 255.255.255.0 to connect to internet... and 255.255.0.0 to my network... I hope u understand what I said... T_T | 13:38 |
| petx | sipior, sry my English is so bad... | 13:38 |
| indus | sylvanus_: i suggest you use kopete messenger, will let you voice /video chat with yahoo | 13:38 |
| mib_o6egw3k8 | How about Google Gears? Any google gears users? | 13:39 |
| Joeseph | Brdman2: Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal . Type 'iwconfig' at the prompt. Copy and paste that into a text file. (you can use gedit at the terminal to bring up a program to do so.) put that on your flashdrive, and post it to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ Then give me the link. | 13:39 |
| tunnlrat | Can you multiboot linux Versions using three different HDD's? and three different versions of Linux? | 13:39 |
| sylvanus_ | it says proxy port 80 | 13:39 |
| tdn | How do I force my CPU to use 2.5GHz instead of 800MHz (powersave)? | 13:39 |
| Brdman2 | wtf i change to ethernet and it automatically goes bak to loopback interface | 13:39 |
| Brdman2 | ok thats for the adivce but i want to sleep | 13:40 |
| Brdman2 | dont have time to backwards engineer ubuntu just to use the internet | 13:40 |
| petx | sipior, hmm... emergency call... w8 a moment... ^^ | 13:40 |
| Brdman2 | thanks for your time | 13:40 |
| indus | brdman2:wait | 13:40 |

| tunnlrat | I want to dual boot different versions of linux | 13:44 |
| natthu | indus : can you help me ? | 13:44 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 13:45 |
| silv3r_m00n | in kdevelop when ever I run a project a konsole popups...how can it be stopped ? | 13:45 |
| Are- | no one has any idea how I can remove netbook remix, or at least prevent the netbook remix specific parts from launching? | 13:45 |
| Joeseph | tunnlrat: That gets a bit complicated. The easiest way to do it (Though I haven't done it myself) is to have 2 versions of grub, each on the MBR of seperate drives, and chainload into the secondary one from the primary one. | 13:46 |
| sipior | Are-: it's best to wait ten minutes or so before asking your question again. you should give folks time to read and think about your question, make sure the solution is correct &cet. | 13:46 |
| freeanshu | how can i chage the grub splash screem? | 13:46 |
| natthu | freeanshu : use startup-manager | 13:46 |
| natthu | indus : u still thr ? | 13:47 |
| natthu | hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop | 13:47 |
| freeanshu | the GRUB menu | 13:47 |
| hareldvd | Since the last update I made, in nautilus, when I try to open windows network I get after some delay: "Failed to retrieve share list from server". As far as I can tell, no changes were done to any configuration files. only OS updates. | 13:47 |
| Are- | sipior: I like to repeat myself when I'm asking for help and no one replies. | 13:47 |
| tunnlrat | Joeseph: interesting i will let you know how it goes then, I am running Ubuntu atm but i'd like to see how Mandriva works and may try Opensuse or Debian as well, had nothing but problems with Fedora | 13:47 |
| natthu | hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop | 13:48 |
| natthu | hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop | 13:48 |
| sipior | Are-: when people do that, my first instinct is to ignore them. perhaps that's why everyone is ignoring you? or do you normally find that displaying poor manners gets you better service? (and from volunteers, no less) | 13:48 |
| natthu | can anyone help ? | 13:48 |

| hwilde | Are-, insert livecd, reinstall. that will clean it up for you. | 13:49 |
| Are- | hwilde: Insert the livecd where exactly? Its a netbook ;) | 13:49 |
| mattmmilo | hello | 13:49 |
| mattmmilo | im having some net speed issues in jaunty | 13:49 |
| Are- | I could try to reinstall though, but I was hoping to find a different way :/ | 13:49 |
| mattmmilo | i've been reading stuff on the ubuntu forums and I've tried editing nsswitch.conf file and resolv.conf file but the issue still seems to persist | 13:50 |
| Joeseph | tunnlrat: Yeah, I tried Fedora too. Well, it's on my slave HD, but I've booted it up like.... once..... Good luck with the dualboot though. What I ended up doing was just copying the slave OS's menu.lst line and adding it to the bottom of Ubuntu's men.lst. That way, I could just copy and paste again when the Slave OS updated. | 13:50 |
| mattmmilo | any ideas? | 13:50 |
| natthu | v | 13:50 |
| natthu | hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop | 13:50 |
| hwilde | Are-, you could've reinstalled already in the time you've wasted here. | 13:51 |
| Joeseph | natthu: Please stop asking so often.... What do you mean by sharing your wireless? | 13:51 |
| natthu | joeseph : i want to access internet from my ipod .... internet which is connected to the laptop thru wired ethernet | 13:51 |
| natthu | srry btw | 13:52 |
| tunnlrat | Joeseph: Alright i'll have to keep that in mind, I may just try run the others from live-cd and see how they run, at this point i have made a full switch from windows xp and vista and only run ubuntu, i am very impressed with it | 13:52 |
| Are- | reinstalling will take ages to get everything the way it was. | 13:52 |
| hareldvd | which package contains smbfind? | 13:52 |
| sylvanus_ | I have Kopete now thanks peeps! | 13:52 |
| mobi-sheep | natthu: You don't have wireless router? | 13:52 |
| natthu | nope | 13:52 |
| natthu | i have a dlink router | 13:53 |
| Joeseph | natthu: Nah, that's fine... Umm.... I personally didn't know you could even do that. I thought you would need a router of some sort. Search google while others are thinking. | 13:53 |
| natthu | i have googled and tried a lot of things | 13:53 |
| natthu | i tried setting up ad hoc network | 13:53 |
| mobi-sheep | natthu: I don't use iPod myself but I know they do have Wifi which is often used for Internet. If you don't have wireless router, how would your iPod connect to Internet? | 13:53 |
| Are- | natthu: What kind of iPod? iPod touch? | 13:54 |
| Hodapp | I miss my 3rd gen iPod... damn guy stole it at gunpoint! | 13:54 |
| * Hodapp shakes fist @ ghetto | 13:54 | |
| natthu | mobi-sheep : i can use the wireless card in laptop for that | 13:54 |
| natthu | itouch .. yeah | 13:54 |
| natthu | i did it in xp | 13:54 |
| natthu | i hate windows though :( | 13:54 |
| tunnlrat | natthu: sounds like your comming from a windows persepective on that problem, letting one computer allow others to connect through it to the internet, you'd have to make sure in linux your sharing your internet connection | 13:55 |
| tunnlrat | natthu: and i am not sure how to do that in linux yet | 13:55 |
| natthu | ihmmm | 13:55 |
| tunnlrat | In essence Natthu is trying to use his laptop as a router | 13:55 |
| natthu | rite | 13:55 |
| Are- | hmm, ima try to remove xfce and install it again, as its gone in gnome currently. | 13:55 |
| Hodapp | I've done this before in Linux but I have never figured out how to easily do it | 13:55 |
| unop | !inetsharing | 13:55 |

| tunnlrat | hehe | 13:55 |
| tunnlrat | ahhh there you go | 13:56 |
| natthu | i ubottu : thnx i ll try that | 13:56 |
| tunnlrat | windows has to many wizards that do all the work for you lol, linux is not yet so ummm user friendly yet? | 13:56 |
| tunnlrat | linux = a thinkers OS | 13:56 |
| indus | ya internet con sharing is a pain isnt it | 13:56 |
| unop | tunnlrat, wizards have tunnel vision! | 13:57 |
| tunnlrat | haha | 13:57 |
| natthu | i have been using linux for the last 3 years now ... i am a fairly well knowing guy ... | 13:57 |
| indus | anyways a GUI is under development | 13:57 |
| Joeseph | natthu: I didn't even know you could do that with a wireless card.... Now I'm gonna have to figure out how to do it myself! | 13:57 |
| natthu | :) | 13:57 |
| indus | natthu: try gufw | 13:57 |
| indus | !gufw | 13:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gufw | 13:58 |
| indus | ufw | 13:58 |
| indus | !ufw | 13:58 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 13:58 |
| FloodBot1 | indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:58 |

| indus | FloodBot1: sorry | 13:58 |
| indus | :P | 13:58 |
| Joeseph | I prefer firestarter myself. That's what I used, if I remember correctly. | 13:58 |
| tunnlrat | I've done what hes talking about in windows before i even ran a windows box at one point cause i was afraid to run linux, I always tried Fedora-core and Red-hat they stopped me from comming to linux, but unbuntu made me switch 100% | 13:58 |
| natthu | bigjb : | 13:58 |
| natthu | thnx | 13:58 |
| natthu | let me try a few things | 13:58 |
| indus | Joeseph: firestarter is not under development i heard ,unsafe due to various bugs | 13:58 |
| tunnlrat | natthu: just make sure if your using internet sharring through your wifi card you protect it like you would with a router | 13:59 |
| Joeseph | indus: Eh. Unsafe..... I prefer to live on the dangerous side of life anyway. :) | 13:59 |
| indus | Joeseph: but ya i heard you can share conection easy using it | 13:59 |
| indus | Joeseph: i mean gufw is the replacement now officially in ubuntu | 13:59 |
| Joeseph | indus: I'll have to take a look | 13:59 |
| indus | just like that crappy empathy will be in karmic | 13:59 |

| quxinot | i have a ridiculous low-level question for someone with a functional knowledge of ubuntu (really any form of linux know-how would suffice)... | 14:06 |
| mattmmilo | something to do with long dns resolution | 14:06 |
| indus | BenTM: using correct username@193.3-whatever | 14:06 |
| indus | ? | 14:06 |
| mattmmilo | but it hasnt really helped at all | 14:06 |
| OldEagle | qux, fire away. I'll try | 14:06 |
| mattmmilo | grawity, any ideas? | 14:06 |
| BenTM | use putty | 14:07 |

| quxinot | OldEagle: i'm making indus crazy for a few, if he slaps me repeatedly then it'll be your turn for insanity | 14:07 |
| mattmmilo | this is really bumming me out, the speed issue is the only problem im having with ubuntu | 14:08 |

| adasz | hi my laptop has reached the critical temperature of 115°C and shutdown. How can i chence the max temperature? | 14:14 |
| OldEagle | adasz, most times this can be done from your bios | 14:14 |
| OldEagle | still, do not raise that limit. | 14:14 |
| indus | adasz: get it serviced as soon as possible | 14:14 |
| adasz | the sensor is defect | 14:15 |
| OldEagle | I'd lower that limit, clean the air ducts and see what happens | 14:15 |
| OldEagle | or what indus said :D | 14:15 |
| adasz | how can i look how high is the temperature? | 14:15 |
| adasz | i have kde4 | 14:16 |
| indus | OldEagle: hehe yeah | 14:16 |
| cherva | adasz: I think this is configurable in BIOS | 14:16 |
| ubuntnew1 | hello | 14:17 |
| adasz | no its from kubuntu because its written in the logs | 14:17 |
| OldEagle | well... he might be using his laptop on his bed, or some other fabric blocking the ducts | 14:17 |

| cherva | adasz: +1 for induses tip | 14:18 |
| quxinot | next idiot question: Why does my screensaver not display (8.10 on a laptop), no matter what settings i apply, when i'm on battery power? | 14:18 |
| indus | gemilang: what plugin | 14:18 |
| indus | gemilang: all plugins are installed automatically on playing music or movie files | 14:19 |
| gemilang | i dont know, can you suggest | 14:19 |
| indus | gemilang: which is the player you using and what file are you wanting to play | 14:19 |
| cherva | quxinot: I'm just guessing, but showing the screensaver requires CPU power to calculate and change the images.... if it is fancy and GPU power too so it will be more economic if it just sits there doing nothing | 14:19 |
| gemilang | yes, i know. i meant a want to download as a program. | 14:20 |

| FiReSTaRT | Qu4R0w, actually i only have 173 and 180 available.. maybe 177 was buggy? | 15:04 |

| buch_ | gnuyoga: nothing happens | 15:08 |
| gnuyoga | sudo fdisk -l | 15:08 |
| gnuyoga | and past the result in pastebin.com | 15:08 |
| FiReSTaRT | sedontane, yeah jockey hangs from time to time.. i'd let it work for about 10-15 min and then cancel and shut it down.. that should be plenty of time for it to install the driver :) | 15:08 |
| xand_ | ctmjr advice did not work for me...can anyone please tell me how can i find out the best values of refresh rate, dot clock frequency etc. for my 13.3 monitor ? Its a toshiba lap, and i did't find out anything about in manuals. I need these values to place by hand in xorg.conf since the system is not maintaining my confs. | 15:09 |
| FiReSTaRT | Qu4R0w, another reason is that people have been having fewer issues with 173 than 177... the major driver updates have mostly been in an effort to fix the suspend issue.. the rest should be about the same | 15:09 |

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 | 15:17 |

| glaceman | ok | 15:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Getting sound to 'work' can often be trivial (your mixer is set to mute), or very hard (you may need to upgrade your alsa) | 15:19 |
| glaceman | another question then | 15:19 |
| glaceman | anybody uses utube ripper ? | 15:19 |
| ha1331 | glaceman: not sure if it's a lanquage barrier or something, but I'm having really hard time understanding you. | 15:19 |

| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, in some cases yes... for most of the work that i do, the open graphics drivers are fine.. but for something more intensive like google earth, you need the propriatary drivers in most cases.. also wireless networking won't work for some people (myself included) without the broadcom propriatary driver | 15:20 |

| DMRadford | linux n00b here with no time... does ubuntu use pulse audio? | 15:21 |
| pbn | pbn: especially beccause dpkg -i probably won't install them in the right order | 15:21 |
| indus | DMRadford: yes | 15:21 |
| musicpenguin | glaceman, where do i get pro drivers? | 15:21 |
| glaceman | in the .irssi/config ? | 15:21 |
| pbn | Dr_Willis: yes I can do fin . -name *.deb -exec dpkg -i and so on | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Pici: they also expect you to read the docs. :) but no one ever does that either.. heh.. | 15:21 |
| DMRadford | damn.... | 15:21 |
| FiReSTaRT | glaceman, or you can just run xchat.. it should be automatically installed iirc.. if not, sudo apt-get install xchat | 15:21 |
| DMRadford | thanks... | 15:21 |
| pbn | but there's package order and dependencies | 15:21 |
| indus | !mibbit | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mibbit | 15:22 |
| Acedip | how can I remove something I installed from sources | 15:22 |
| Acedip | ?? | 15:22 |
| FiReSTaRT | glaceman, a lot easier to configure graphically, especially for those of us who migrated from windoze :) | 15:22 |
| buch_ | gnuyoga: hmm i think im abit lost here - I plan to use grub since it seems easier or? - Cant i just simply point menu.lst or another grub file to point to the other HD? | 15:22 |
| glaceman | yeah i know FiReSTaRT , but im on ubuntu for commands | 15:22 |
| Dr_Willis | pbn: yes.. and if you try to insttall them all at the same single command line. ive found that they 'magically' see each other and reaize the order... | 15:22 |
| glaceman | i mean if i wannted to stick to GUI, i would have continued using xp | 15:22 |
| gnuyoga | buch_: do u use windows XP / some other version ? | 15:22 |
| Dr_Willis | pbn: but with that huge a # of packages.. it might not work. | 15:22 |
| LiHong | glaceman: if you do some setting changes in irssi and then /save. the settings will be save to the config file. | 15:22 |
| pbn | Dr_Willis: ah good | 15:22 |
| indus | Acedip: see if it has an uninstall script | 15:22 |
| FiReSTaRT | glaceman, in that case, #irssi should be your best bet for package-specific support :) | 15:22 |
| glaceman | can anybody tell me, where the irssi conf file located please ? | 15:23 |
| buch_ | gnuyoga: I use XP | 15:23 |
| * Dr_Willis uses irssi on Windows. :) | 15:23 | |
| Pici | glaceman: Please do not edit the file by hand. | 15:23 |
| glaceman | names are weird :P | 15:23 |
| glaceman | folder names | 15:23 |
| gnuyoga | buch_: k | 15:23 |
| Acedip | indus, no, it doesnt | 15:23 |
| indus | Acedip: then nothing can be done | 15:23 |
| indus | Acedip: delete folder where you install it | 15:23 |
| Dr_Willis | glaceman: which config? there ~/.irssi/config for most user settings | 15:23 |
| glaceman | yeah but Pici , come with a handy solution then, cause until now, the only things guys gave me as solution | 15:24 |
| glaceman | i dont wanna use GUi stuffs | 15:24 |
| glaceman | gotta learn, easy or hard way | 15:24 |
| Pici | glaceman: /join #irssi | 15:24 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, where do i get pro drivers | 15:24 |
| glaceman | u mean i type that in the terminal ?, or do i have to access the file manually ? | 15:24 |
| Dr_Willis | glaceman: default irssi.conf is in /etc/irssi.conf - or so 'locate irssi' says :) | 15:24 |
| LiHong | glaceman: you can do a /save in irssi instead of edit the config file directly | 15:24 |
| legend2440 | since doing clean install of jaunty i notice that the mplayer brightness control doesnt work. in intrepid i could press numbers 3 and 4 to increase and decrease brightness. anyone else noticed this? | 15:24 |
| Pici | glaceman: Thats an irssi command. | 15:24 |
| Acedip | indus, in synaptic an older version is said to be installed , but when i open the app, it pops up the newer version | 15:24 |
| FiReSTaRT | glaceman cd /home/username/.appname | 15:25 |
| gnuyoga | buch_: have u backed up the data ? | 15:25 |
| InCrypto | ola everyone | 15:25 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, system, administration, hardware drivers.. jockey should open up and show u what's available | 15:25 |
| buch_ | gnuyoga: backup of what data? | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | glaceman: if you are such a irc beginner that you have never used '/join #channelname' befor - you may want to track down some irc beginner guides. | 15:25 |
| gnuyoga | buch_: personnal data (if any) | 15:25 |

| ha1331 | glaceman: you've been suggested to go and ask at #irssi if you have irssi specific problem. And if you really really want to learn, not just chit chat, maybe try google. I'm thinking your problems with irssi have solutions on the firs 10 answers you get from google | 15:26 |
| buch_ | gnuyoga: on my windows HD or linux? - Well not at all tho the most important is on the second partition on my windows HD | 15:26 |
| Acedip | indus, but I dont want to upgrade, i want to use the older version and un-install the newer version | 15:26 |

| indus | Acedip: do you remember where you installed it ? sudo make make install someplace | 15:27 |
| gnuyoga | buch_: replace hda with hdb | 15:27 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, but my wireless card needs ndiswrappers which i need to modprobe myself otherwise the gui doesnt load and blender comes out garbled but i can use compiz which makes no sense | 15:27 |
| gnuyoga | buch_: and replace hd0 with hd1 | 15:27 |

| gnuyoga | buch_: in shor replace hd{a,0} with sd{b,1} | 15:27 |
| Acedip | indus, i'd just fired that command in the folder where it was, does it gets installed there? | 15:27 |
| indus | yes | 15:28 |
| indus | Acedip: yes | 15:28 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, 2 separate issues.. for starters do you have a fresh install of ubuntu? did you run all of the updates? | 15:28 |
| * gnuyoga will be back in some time | 15:28 | |
| Joeseph | why does the command 'time | less' not work? | 15:28 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, yes..just installed it yesterday | 15:28 |
| Pici | Joeseph: time is not the command to get the time, it is for measuring the amount of time a program takes to run. Try date instead. | 15:28 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, i didnt not run al the updates.... | 15:28 |
| bee | anyone know why I am seeing "Permission denied" in syslog for my cron jobs? | 15:28 |
| ha1331 | glaceman: did the googling for you: | 15:29 |
| buch_ | gnuyoga: do you mind if we PM instead my eyes are freakin out here :) | 15:29 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, run update.. it'll take forever and a half, but after you update and reboot, some propriatary drivers should become available :) | 15:29 |
| ha1331 | /set nick <nick> | 15:29 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, ok thanks.. will do :) | 15:29 |
| gnuyoga | buch_: k | 15:29 |
| Jeruvy | bee: how did you set it up? | 15:30 |
| ha1331 | that will make irssi to use <nick> when you start it, instead of your username | 15:30 |
| ha1331 | glaceman: /set alternate_nick <nick> | 15:30 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, chancces are you'll get the broadcom sta driver.. by the way if it hangs during the driver install, let it sit for 10min and then click on cancel or whatever.. reboot and the driver should be activated :) | 15:30 |
| Joeseph | Pici: Ah. Well. Then it doesn't say timeless. Thanks though..... but I can do 'time less filename' | 15:30 |
| Acedip | indus, it is not where i'd fired the make command? | 15:30 |
| s0nix | hi, anyone know what this error mean? ata revalidation failed -13 (when booting hardy installation cd) the error only happens with 1 specific disk | 15:30 |
| Joeseph | Pici: Thanks. | 15:30 |
| ha1331 | other command that might be intresting for you | 15:30 |
| bee | Jeruvy: crontab -e. The user account I ran that as can exec the perl script that is running. And this perl script has been running years on this cron. | 15:30 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, i have the option to upgrade to Januty but i did yesterday and had big time issues with BLender..should i still just install jaunty and then update? or will that not make a diff | 15:30 |
| indus | Acedip: which package is it? | 15:31 |
| zgmf-x20a | anyone know how to setup SHARED FOLDERS? trying to set it up for a xvm virtual xp running on ubu nbr 9.04. help would be muchh appreciated ^_^ | 15:31 |
| Acedip | indus, glade 3.6.5 | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | glaceman: the irssi homepage has some very well done 'beginner' guides. theres also command line options to set your nick to irssi. 'irssi --nick=Billgates' | 15:31 |

| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, i have experienced some upgrade issues as well.. that's why i prefer a fresh install :) | 15:31 |
| indus | Acedip: in synaptic it lists the old package? | 15:32 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, i mean i have the Jaunty cd but went back to 810 since I had less issues... | 15:32 |
| Acedip | indus, yes | 15:32 |
| Jeruvy | bee: if the task requires root privileges, you should set it up as 'sudo crontab -e'. Could be something else, but we'd need to closely look at | 15:32 |
| chetnick | zgmf-x20a: right click on the folder you want to share, go to the Share tab, and check Share this folder. | 15:32 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, should i retry J? | 15:32 |
| indus | Acedip: you need to check the glade source folder to see if there is an uninstall script or see the readme for that | 15:32 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, or stick with I? | 15:32 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, nothing wrong with intrepid.. if you had fewer issues, you might as well switch back :) | 15:32 |
| bee | Jeruvy, it does not require root privileges. The same user that I set the crontab can run it fine. | 15:33 |
| chetnick | zgmf-x20a: after that click Create Share. | 15:33 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, but try to update first | 15:33 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, an update usually fixes most of those issues (especially once you get the hardware drivers up and running) | 15:33 |
| rafaelscj | !pop > rafaelscj | 15:33 |
| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, ok..will do...btw..someone told me i should use ath5k but i couldnt get it to work | 15:33 |
| ubottu | rafaelscj, please see my private message | 15:33 |

| musicpenguin | FiReSTaRT, in that case I wonder if I should have stuck with Jaunty and did the update..which makes no sense since I thought Jaunty would have solved these issues | 15:34 |
| mbeierl1 | anyone know the difference between "/etc/group" and "/etc/group-"? | 15:34 |
| musicpenguin | ok..ill stick with 810 and update :) | 15:34 |
| indus | Acedip: its not easy | 15:34 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, it does solve a lot of issues once it's fully updated.. there's only so much they can cram onto a single cd.. the rest goes over the wire | 15:34 |
| Acedip | indus, nothing is said about how to un-install it. | 15:34 |
| indus | Acedip: hmm nvm | 15:35 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, so retry jaunty, update it, enable the hardware drivers and see what happens | 15:35 |
| mbeierl1 | !/etc/group | 15:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about etc/group | 15:35 |
| indus | Acedip: i dont know any further | 15:35 |
| cabrey | mbeierl1, there is security on group- while group can be read by anyone | 15:35 |
| Acedip | :\ | 15:35 |
| FiReSTaRT | musicpenguin, in my experience jaunty didn't fix any of the issues but at least it didn't screw anything up and i get 6 extra months of support for it :P | 15:35 |
| mbeierl1 | cabrey: if I want to add my id to a group (say src) do I need to make the mod to both files or is there a groupmod type command that does it for me? | 15:36 |
| cabrey | mbamford, use groupadd | 15:36 |
| bee | Jeruvy, with this crontab: */1 * * * * echo "hello" >> /home/bee/debug I get no output to the debug file. Instead, I get this in my syslog "Jun 18 10:36:01 SERVER1 CRON[19926]: Permission denied" | 15:36 |
| zgmf-x20a | chetnick: AHHHHHHH excellent. thank you. i hope tthis works, have to restart now tho | 15:36 |
| cabrey | mbeierl1, use groupadd or addgroup | 15:36 |
| bee | where do syslogs get saved? | 15:36 |
| bee | err I mean crontabs | 15:37 |
| cabrey | /etc/cron.* | 15:37 |
| bee | user crons too? | 15:37 |
| mbeierl1 | cabrey: the group already exists, so I'm not technically adding or modding the group, I'm trying to add a user to an existing group list | 15:37 |

I 'd like to know if i have down loaded all software package's onto HD within ubuntu. is there a way to save my ubuntu & all added 'packages' onto a disc so that if something would happen i could just reload onto the partitianed area without effecting the Vista on the other side of the partition? | 15:37 |
| thyr1 | suggest a download accelerator for downloading mediafire file | 15:38 |
| vandrar | Hello | 15:38 |
| cabrey | mbeierl1, oh use the ubuntu users & groups tool and it will handle everything for you | 15:38 |
| thyr1 | something similar to idm,orbit | 15:38 |

| sedontane|2 | 8.04 | 16:46 |
| v87r8y | musicpenguin: yeah tell me | 16:46 |
| cyberghoser1 | shared folderd just work, just install virtualbox addons | 16:46 |
| v87r8y | where is this driver | 16:47 |
| zgmf-x20a | cyberghoser1: vobx addons? not sure actually, how should i go about installing that?? | 16:47 |
| cyberghoser1 | zgmf-x20a - on the main menu o virtualbox | 16:47 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane|2: I would have thought, they would have given you a later kernel then that from the repo | 16:47 |
| musicpenguin | v87r8y, the drivers are in the windows cd that come with your card....otherwise you have to get it off the website | 16:47 |
| eMaX | hi all | 16:47 |
| sedontane|2 | it gave me 2.6.22 | 16:47 |
| Denn1 | yeah thats true, besides giving windows all the vm drivers and mouse integration, the guest addons add drivers for cross platforming. thats what you get when you read too much. :) | 16:48 |
| sedontane|2 | then it upgraded me to 2.6.24 | 16:48 |
| zgmf-x20a | cyberghoser1: hmm, looking for that drop down menu, and checking, but no option for it. there is a shared folders section. in there i added the folder that i would like to be shared. is this what you refering too?? | 16:48 |
| Denn1 | disconnect | 16:48 |
| Denn1 | oops | 16:48 |
| cyberghoser1 | zgmf-x20a - no on the main menu of virtual box you have an option to install addons | 16:49 |
| sebsebseb | Denn1: regarding stability for many of us at the time around April 2008 yes, 8.04 was not that stable since the amount of pulseaudio issues :( now days 8.0.4.2 is probably pretty stable. 8.04 the LTS yep long term supopurt, security updates for longer than the other versions in LTS. ,but is it more stable hum. 8.10 is a rather good release, sadly suppourt runs out April next year on the desktop | 16:49 |
| musicpenguin | v87r8y, do you have the cd? | 16:49 |
| cyberghoser1 | zgmf-x20a - once you run your vm | 16:49 |

| Guest287 | i think de4,i maybe nid adobe reader | 17:19 |
| imc_ | jrib, actually yes I did that. What happens now is I get a panel with the standard ubuntu netbook remix desktop BUT no files onthe desktop or bottom task bar or application launchers | 17:19 |

| Um_cara_qualquer | jrib humm... i named my currently theme as another name but it isn't there | 17:20 |
| jrib | imc_: easiest way to do that is to create new user, copy files you want, chown -R NEWUSER: ~NEWUSER | 17:20 |
| imc_ | yeah, | 17:20 |
| jrib | Um_cara_qualquer: your user's themes go to ~/.themes | 17:20 |

| ctmjr | musicpenguin, there is a compiz channel #compiz you might get better help there | 17:22 |

| jrib | Guest287: what arhc? | 17:23 |
| Joeseph | Bennit: I had a similair problem, except mine just wouldn't stay connected to the net for longer than 5 seconds.. My problem was that I need the latest drivers. (and I needed to modprobe it). Good luck though. | 17:23 |

| jrib | Bennit: best to check the actual bug at bugs.ubuntu.com if you're interested in status | 17:25 |
| bin1010 | can you remove packages added with build-dep? like apt-get remove build-dep blah? | 17:25 |
| Sjord | yurivr: Look for a compiler error above the "error 1" | 17:25 |
| Sjord | bin1010: you may want to try apt-get autoremove | 17:26 |

| aurilliance | another q: I have the "won't hibernate / suspend" issue (9.04) that is already known as a bug is it? are there any workarounds or a site I can be directed to? | 17:28 |
| vsingh165 | hello all | 17:28 |
| jawall | Having issues wiping drive. Ubuntu 9/04 for PPC, eMac, 160 gig drive. Booted to Live CD, ran Gparted, it first showed several small partitions with unknown formats, tried to delete and it wouldn't let me. I then used DBAN to completely wipe the drive, but it would only do 152 gigs of the drive. I installed Ubuntu, and it also only shows the 152 gigs,,, I'm out of ideas on how to recover the rest of this drive. Any ideas would be greatly | 17:28 |
| jawall | appreciated. | 17:28 |
| vsingh165 | jawall: a 160gb drive isn't going to exactly be 160gb of space | 17:29 |
| vsingh165 | jawall: but then again you shouldn't be short 8gb b/c of tha | 17:29 |
| sebsebseb | aurilliance: that is not a bug exactly, I think it's mainly a kernel issue, well depends | 17:30 |
| dakira | hi.. i'm looking for a way to make an image of a 500gb partition (with only about 10gb used).. dd seems to be very slow and the target file will have a size of 500gb instead of 10gb.. any sugguestions? the solution doesn't have to be forensically sound | 17:30 |
| sebsebseb | aurilliance: what people say though, is you need double your RAM as SWAP space, before you can even hibernate/sleep | 17:30 |
| jrib | dakira: partimage | 17:30 |
| aurilliance | sebsebseb: *double* ? I thought it was only more than ram size... ok. I've got 4g ram, so ill try gparting later... ty | 17:30 |
| Bennit | hooraay, problem fixed, on a very weird and stupid way: rebooted after that ndiswrapper driver install & modprobing, now my machine doesn't recognize the wifi card anymore | 17:30 |
| Bennit | so it doesn't conflict anymore with my working usb n adapter | 17:30 |
| Bennit | which does work :p | 17:31 |
| jawall | it is technically 163 gigs | 17:31 |
| dakira | jrib, thx | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | aurilliance: yeah I think even with 4GB RAM, meant to put 8GB for SWAP | 17:31 |
| Bennit | after exam period i'll try to get the real wifiadapter to work :p | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | !swap > aurilliance | 17:31 |
| ubottu | aurilliance, please see my private message | 17:31 |
| vsingh165 | jawall: how did you come to know that it's 163 gb? | 17:31 |
| Sjord | jawall: 160 GB = 160 times 1000 x 1000 x 1000, whereas a computer sees a GB as 1024 x 1024 x 1024, hence the difference between what's advertised and what's shown on the computer. | 17:31 |
| jawall | it should show 160 gigs on the 163 gig drive | 17:31 |
| aurilliance | ty | 17:31 |
| Jeruvy | dakira: a image tool will image the partition. If you just want a backup, use a backup tool or rsync.. | 17:31 |
| vsingh165 | Sjord: its 160 x 1024^3 | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | aurilliance: ,but only if going to hibernate/suspend, 8GB SWAP is a lot | 17:31 |
| jawall | That isn't it... it previously showed 160 gigs,, where as the drive is really 163 gigs, | 17:32 |
| jawall | plus 8 gigs taken and several small partitiions with unknown filesystems? | 17:32 |
| aurilliance | thts what I though sebsebseb (a lot) but illl try it. I've got 160 to spare lol | 17:32 |
| Sjord | vsingh165: Yes, that's my point. Disk manufactorers use kilobytes of 1000, not 1024. | 17:32 |
| kam00zy | ok guys ive got one for yall :P | 17:32 |
| kam00zy | ive got dual monitors... and i want a diff backgrond for each one... how do i do this? :) | 17:32 |
| vsingh165 | jawall: a lot of times computer manufacturers put a hidden partition or two on the disk either at the beginning or the end | 17:33 |
| vsingh165 | jawall: maybe gparted isn't seeing those | 17:33 |
| vsingh165 | and wipe may have ignored them | 17:33 |

| wubrgamer | del_diablo: is there no way to do this natively though? | 18:22 |

| sipior | fuffalo: firefox uses a lock file, which sometimes sticks around if the browser crashes. look for it in your .mozilla/firefox/<profileid> directory. remove it and try again. | 18:33 |

| fuffalo | sipior, is that the column after the pid? | 18:35 |

| cyberghoser1 | drummrx - i don't know what bios firmware you got, but seems a fan problem since on the cooler it doesnt crash | 18:41 |
| roobly_roo | Xeccos: You'd find it in the Grub menu; I'm not sure if by default Ubuntu has more than one available, but each time your kernel is updated it keeps the prior version. | 18:42 |
| drummrx | XD...you'd have to see the cooler I had to make. Plus the chassis is pretty much dismantled at this point | 18:42 |
| roobly_roo | Xeccos: At reboot you should either see the menu, or a 'Press Esc for boot options' should flash by. | 18:42 |

| Dr_Willis | musicpenguin: the memtest item in the grub menus on most disrto/live cds is handy for that | 19:08 |
| ectospasm | msaraujo: the O'Reilly Bash book is good | 19:08 |
| msaraujo | humm | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | O'Reilly Bash book - is a must get | 19:09 |

| rubydiam_ | guys.. is there any good torrent web interface .. which I can control from web | 19:09 |
| toenail | i did , problem is im using alsa i have 3 sound cards installed , tring to record multiple instruments on different tracks , so if one wolume is lower than the other at the time of recording it i can just adjust the volume and wont have to rerecord | 19:09 |
| InfoMoMo | thiebaude: not yet, i will check | 19:09 |
| thiebaude | ok, thanks | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | rubydiam_: many torrent clienbts have a web interface.. transmission does. and ktorrent does also | 19:09 |
| gogeta | rubydiam yes | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | 'web interface .. which I can control from web | 19:09 |
| rubydiam_ | Dr_Willis: I will be installing on my slicehost slice | 19:10 |
| iceroot | i want to make a screenshot (area) like in kde. what is that app called from kde? or how to get it in gnome? | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | :) thats... made me chuckly. | 19:10 |
| gogeta | utorrent has web ingterface supporrt | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | rubydiam_: that maens very little to me... | 19:10 |
| rubydiam_ | so there will be no gui available | 19:10 |
| * bc is terrified to upgrade the kernel after reading the channel for the last couple months | 19:10 | |
| ectospasm | iceroot: hit printscreen | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | rubydiam_: install vnc, and you can get a remote gui. :) | 19:10 |
| rubydiam_ | Dr_Willis: which one is good web interface | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | rubydiam_: they all work fine for my needs.. try them out and see | 19:10 |
| Hodapp | pffft, I upgraded my kernel the first time when I was 15 and the only thing that took awhile was the compilation | 19:10 |
| iceroot | ectospasm: i want the program from kde when i hit print there | 19:10 |
| need_help | how can i know if this is in RAID ? | 19:10 |
| fullmetalj | Hi, is any one on umuntu run mail server | 19:10 |
| InfoMoMo | thiebaude: it is in synaptic | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | bc: if you do a kernel upgrade from the repo, you should still have the old one staill availalbe as well, so if any problems | 19:10 |
| iceroot | ectospasm: ro select an area, window or fullscreen | 19:10 |
| thiebaude | InfoMoMo: thanks | 19:11 |
| ectospasm | iceroot: the screenshot tool should have that in it. | 19:11 |
| _Tristan | sometimes my graphics settings reset on their own and all my windows consolidate to my first desktop. My compiz settings also are forgotten. How do I fix this? | 19:11 |
| bc | Hodapp: same here, but with the nvidia problems lately in 9.04 I'm a little gun shy | 19:11 |
| gogeta | bc you can remove the old one later | 19:11 |
| iceroot | ectospasm: cant see it in 8.04 gnome if i press print | 19:11 |
| Scunizi | bc: if you've installed an nvidia driver downloaded direct from nvidia then download the latest and be prepaired to reinstall it. | 19:11 |
| bc | sebsebseb, gogeta: sounds like a plan | 19:11 |
| ectospasm | iceroot: printscreen | 19:11 |
| iceroot | ectospasm: i want to select an area like in kde! | 19:12 |
| ectospasm | the key on the keyboad that says "PrintScreen/SysRq" | 19:12 |
| bc | Scunizi: I install nvidia driver from hardware detection in system menu | 19:12 |
| iggy1 | hello, i need some help :( my nvidia drivers dont work.. i always get black screen after reboot.. i tried other drivers but its always the same.. booting, splash, black screen.. the monitor seems working (LED is green; no warning like "no signal") but theres no output at all :( | 19:12 |
| iceroot | ectospasm: if i press print in kde, there a three options, fullscree, window and area which i can select | 19:12 |
| Scunizi | bc: then you should be fine. you might consider installing dkms from the repos as well. That will help things that have a kernel mod automatically redo the mod on a new kernel. | 19:12 |
| ectospasm | iceroot: if you're in GNOME, try Applications > Accessories > Take Screenshot | 19:12 |
| iceroot | ectospasm: there is no area | 19:13 |

| wubrgamer | why is X leaking memory? | 19:14 |
| wubrgamer | it's using like | 19:14 |
| wubrgamer | 100MB | 19:14 |
| gogeta | gimp works | 19:14 |

| zett | lo hai ppl | 19:15 |
| wubrgamer | how much memory should I be using for X? | 19:15 |
| ectospasm | wubrgamer: that's not necessarily a leak | 19:15 |
| iceroot | gogeta: of course it is working but that was not my question | 19:15 |
| gogeta | it can do area | 19:15 |
| tunnlrat | When all else fails /bootkickhdd/fist to the screen... that will fix all memory leaks, video errors =P | 19:15 |
| gogeta | or even windows | 19:15 |
| wubrgamer | ectospasm: what is standard usage for most people? | 19:15 |
| gogeta | or entire screen | 19:15 |
| iceroot | gogeta: have a look at ksnapshot. with that i dont need gimp | 19:15 |
| xmadragex | hi | 19:15 |
| iceroot | gogeta: and as is said before, i am using 8.04 | 19:16 |
| gogeta | gimps for 8.04 | 19:16 |
| gogeta | hell for any distro | 19:16 |
| sedontane | sebsebseb: ok so it brokwe my networking | 19:16 |
| ectospasm | wubrgamer: if I'm reading top right, X.org is using about 52MB for me right now | 19:16 |
| iceroot | gogeta: please stop it, you dont get my question | 19:16 |
| xmadragex | i need some information with someone that knows ubuntu 9.04 >.> | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: are you the guy that upgraded 8.04 to 8.10? | 19:16 |
| wubrgamer | ectospasm: yeah, it's using too much for me | 19:16 |
| gogeta | iceroot you said you whanted s snapshop f a reao | 19:16 |
| gogeta | area | 19:17 |
| wubrgamer | is it my driver? how do I check to see what driver I'm using? | 19:17 |
| ectospasm | xmadragex: don't preface your question, just ask | 19:17 |
| Morph` | I would like to add a source for packages to my sources.list. where would I find this file in order to modify it? | 19:17 |
| sedontane | sebsebseb: yeah and i still cant find an 8.10 install cd | 19:17 |
| iceroot | gogeta: i was asking about the name of the kde-program so that i can install it in gnome | 19:17 |
| ectospasm | wubrgamer: how much RAM do you have? | 19:17 |
| bingo | HI room ..!! | 19:17 |
| iceroot | gogeta: i was not asking about gimp or anything like this | 19:17 |
| wubrgamer | like | 19:17 |
| wubrgamer | erm... | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: yeah I said don't get 9.04 :) I know where you can get 8.10 though | 19:17 |
| wubrgamer | 1.5 g i believe ectospasm | 19:17 |
| tunnlrat | Morph`, system>Administration/software sources? | 19:17 |
| xmadragex | ok then i got a problem with my nvidia card for installation i past 50+ hours on diffrent way to installing it and even recreat the xorg.conf and such | 19:17 |
| tunnlrat | Morph`, that what your lookin for? | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: or maybe you should try both versions from the Live CD | 19:18 |
| ectospasm | 100MB is not that much then, wubrgamer | 19:18 |
| gogeta | sedobtane the 2 ubuntu distros are 8.04 and 9.04 | 19:18 |
| wubrgamer | it's the largest consumer of memory on my system | 19:18 |
| faldo | Hi. Any good PIM to trust to work with? | 19:18 |
| Scunizi | how do I find the missing files in directory "B" when compared to directory "A"? | 19:18 |
| xmadragex | am about to try envynv but am not sure about its compatiblity for gaming with shaders | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | gogeta: wrong there is 8.10 as well | 19:18 |
| wubrgamer | faldo: I like KDE's the best, it's really well done | 19:18 |
| fullmetalj | any one run ubuntu as mail server ??? | 19:18 |
| Scunizi | xmadragex: DO NOT USE ENVYNG OR ENVY | 19:18 |
| bingo | i am using 8.04, created new user test with password,but when i login by ssh it was saying could not chdir to directory /home/test: file and directory | 19:18 |
| gogeta | 8.10 is no longer for dl | 19:18 |
| bingo | any one ? | 19:18 |
| xmadragex | why? | 19:18 |
| grawity | Scunizi: I'd use the simplest: ls A | sort > A.list; ls B | sort > B.list; diff A.list B.list | 19:18 |
| Morph` | tunnlrat: oh, some software I want to install needs me to add it before I can install it. | 19:18 |
| iggy1 | please, could anyone with nvidia driver paste me his xorg.conf? | 19:18 |
| gogeta | replaced my 9.04 | 19:18 |

| gogeta | osx babhy | 19:19 |
| gogeta | :) | 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: also before burning an ISO you should md5sum it really | 19:19 |
| xmadragex | well am kidda suck i got a system that boot commandline and i can't start the gui | 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | sedontane | 19:19 |
| ubottu | sedontane: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 19:19 |
| altnickkeke | I'm running php and JSON/AJAX chat thing on my server and it's wildly inefficient. I know that's what is causing it, I just dont' know why. Is there a way to monitor what exactly is using all the cpu? Further down than just the processes.. | 19:19 |
| tunnlrat | Morph`, hey i came from windows xp and vista i know what you mean | 19:19 |
| Scunizi | grawity: looks good.. can I use the -R switch to also make it recurrsive? | 19:19 |
| sedontane | gogeta: & sebsebseb: I cant use 9.04 due to it breaking my TV card's IR reciever. And I cant use 8.04 because i cant get a high enough kernel to install TV card driver package | 19:19 |
| ectospasm | bingo: did you create the new user's home directory when you created the user? | 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: you can find the code that you compare the md5sum to in the releases section as well | 19:20 |
| tunnlrat | now i use only linux and even figured out how to get two different versions of linux to dual boot on the same computer | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: yeah your doing 8.10 :) | 19:20 |
| grawity | Scunizi: Dunno, haven't tried ... but no, you'll probably need to replace ls with find. | 19:20 |
| carthik | When I install, say numpy, using easy_install on ubuntu, it installs version 1.2.1 instead of the 1.3.0 available on PyPI - why is this so and how do I fix it? | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: and I said before you could probably get a ppa for a later kernel in 8.04, but 8.10 :) | 19:20 |
| bingo | ectospasm: thanks for reply, i createed user by $sudo useradd test; sudo passwd test... tahts it ? | 19:20 |
| ectospasm | tunnlrat: that ain't hard | 19:20 |
| gogeta | http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ | 19:20 |
| gogeta | there you go | 19:20 |
| tunnlrat | ectospasm, it is when your a linux noob!! good thing ubuntu fixed it all after i broke it this morning lol | 19:21 |
| ectospasm | bingo: if you didn't pass the optino to create the user's home directory, that's why it's not working | 19:21 |

| xmadragex | is there a way that my nvidia card can work with driver without crying like little girl that lost a neil :P | 19:21 |
| ectospasm | tunnlrat: automagically? cool | 19:21 |
| bingo | ectospam: which option should i use for createnig new user with directory.. ? | 19:21 |
| bingo | command ?= | 19:21 |
| Scunizi | grawity: hmmmm.. basically I'm trying to discover the missing files on a /home backup after a freeze while copying and just copy the remaining files, inlcuding hidden files/directories.. | 19:21 |
| Morph` | sweet, no editing files in terminal! | 19:21 |
| Morph` | thank god it's not debian! | 19:21 |
| BlessJah | Hi All! | 19:21 |
| sedontane | cheers guys | 19:21 |
| ectospasm | xmadragex: your analogy is lost on me | 19:21 |
| tunnlrat | ectospasm, yeah already had ubuntu installed tried to add mandriva booting and install from a second drive, which broke ubuntu, when i did a recovery install ubuntu fixed both | 19:22 |
| ectospasm | xmadragex: what do you mean "crying like a little girl?" | 19:22 |
| xmadragex | well for one | 19:22 |
| BlessJah | I need help: i've got Flash Card with deleted pictures | 19:22 |
| xmadragex | ubuntu won't configure or make xorg work with the nvidia drivers | 19:22 |
| sedontane | sebsebseb: does that cd come with a .28 or greater kernel? cos all i saw when i uprgraded was the .27 kernel | 19:22 |
| xmadragex | so basically any configuration and changes won't work | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: I think so, and if not you can do the ppa | 19:22 |
| ectospasm | BlessJah: unless the pics are in .Trash, Trash, or some other like folder, they're probably gone | 19:22 |
| xmadragex | as if its not using information from xorg.conf for the nvidia drivers | 19:22 |
| tunnlrat | Morph`, so far using ubuntu i've never had to edit from the terminal i've been able to fix every problem with a gui solution ilke a windows crack head | 19:23 |
| BlessJah | ectospasm: flash card | 19:23 |
| sedontane | if not ill be back seb | 19:23 |
| xmadragex | so when i reboot i lose the gui completely and endup in commandline | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | sedontane: I think after security updates you will have 28 if it's not already there | 19:23 |
| gogeta | sedontane just a normal 8.10 cd | 19:23 |
| BlessJah | ectospasm: remoced using "delete" option in camera | 19:23 |
| xmadragex | and then you past around 50+ hours trying to know why and fix it | 19:23 |
| Morph` | tunnlrat: I'm just trying to get some freaking themes to work and it's been a huge PITA. | 19:23 |
| gogeta | morph lol | 19:23 |

| ectospasm | xmadragex: what version of the nvidia drivers do you have installed? I had a problem on my work computer where the 180 version doesn't work with my card (no device created) | 19:24 |
| xmadragex | so the part "Crying like a little girl" means your crying at your monitor asking why its making your like horrble since ubuntu is a great linux that can replace windows | 19:24 |
| tunnlrat | Morph`, stick with it man the longer i use ubuntu the more i like it, I've evern got all my windows games to run, WoW is currently installing itself and runs better in ubuntu than it did in windows | 19:24 |

| tunnlrat | Morph`, yeah but your cheating your comming from a mac to linux, so you had 50% less problems to begin with anyway over my windows systems! | 19:26 |
| iggy1 | ectospasm: and what drivers do you use? | 19:26 |
| gogeta | tunnlrat LOL | 19:26 |
| Morph` | tunnlrat: and a healthy knowledge of BSD unix from server adminning and working as a Mac Genius on the back end | 19:26 |

| christophe__ | *.* | 19:27 |
| Scunizi | grawity: how does this look..?? any suggestions on syntax? ls -aR /home/user/ | sort > a.list; ls -aR /media/disk-1/ | sort > b.list; diff a.list b.list | sort > diff.list; cp -a <reference to list in some fasion> <from/location> <to/location> | 19:27 |
| gogeta | tunnlrat all my atis work fine in linux | 19:27 |
| Fretegi | any thoughts? | 19:27 |
| grawity | Scunizi: well, -R will really break with sort... | 19:27 |
| Hodapp | nvidia support is generally better. | 19:28 |
| tunnlrat | gogeta, yeah mines an onboard laptop xpress 1100 ati video card and it runs like crap lol | 19:28 |
| gogeta | tunnlrat onbords genrelly do | 19:28 |
| grawity | Scunizi: find /home/user | sort > a.list; find /media/disk-1 | sort > b.list; diff a.list b.list | 19:28 |
| Scunizi | grawity: ah!.ok.. sorting isn't really necessary .. just a list of files and directories is fine as long as I can pass it along | 19:28 |
| xmadragex | ok am about to test the 173 driver if it works i'll feel like a nooblet :P | 19:28 |
| xmadragex | second question | 19:28 |
| grawity | Scunizi: sorting is necessary for diff. | 19:29 |
| grawity | (At least in this case. | 19:29 |
| tunnlrat | Fretegi, under system/administration/hardware Drivers can you get it to activate your nvidia stuff that way? | 19:29 |
| xmadragex | i own a TH2GO and does it work with linux for high resulotion to 5080 by 1050? | 19:29 |

| Scunizi | grawity: since it's recurrisive and finding hidden directories, can ls return the list with a full path? that would allow sort to functions wouldn't it? | 19:30 |
| xmadragex | gafu i had problems with my laptop with 8.04 ones i upgrated to 9.04 for some reason it works | 19:30 |
| bingo | Have any body use Nomachine NX at ubuntu 8.04 ?? | 19:30 |
| Fretegi | what i want to do is copy that file, as it is unavailable in jaunty, i want to copy, go back to januty, and see if i can make it work manually | 19:30 |
| grawity | Scunizi: and that's what "find" does. | 19:30 |
| bingo | i am facing error.... dont know how to solv it | 19:30 |
| ectospasm | bingo: no, but I've used it in 9.04 | 19:30 |
| Gadu | xmadragex: interesting | 19:30 |
| ectospasm | bingo: should be functionally equivalent | 19:30 |
| tunnlrat | Gadu, i haven't solved that issue yet i have the exact same problem, someone before told me in this channel its a problem with jack sensing, but i never found a resolution yet | 19:30 |
| gogeta | bingo ?? | 19:30 |
| iggy1 | hm, i installed nvidia 173 (from hardware drivers) and it still gives me blank screen after reboot | 19:30 |
| bingo | ectospasm: i install ubuntu 8.04 server edition then later on i gave command $sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 19:31 |
| ectospasm | iggy1: did it remove the 180 drivers? | 19:31 |
| Scunizi | grawity: ok.. good to know.. I was thinking of grep as well.. but I don't know much about that command despite its usefullness. | 19:31 |
| ectospasm | bingo: hmmm, not an ideal way to do it | 19:31 |
| iggy1 | ectospasm: i first removed all nvidia stuff (synaptic) | 19:31 |
| gjperez | what exactly is the ubuntu.seed file? | 19:31 |
| Gadu | xmadragex: do you think the 9.04 livecd would have working audio so I can test it? | 19:31 |
| grawity | Scunizi: Well, you can diff a b | grep ^< to only return differences from one side, for example. | 19:31 |
| bingo | ectospasm: i have install gnome i think so, actualy i am sitting at remote sde, so what is ideal way = | 19:31 |
| ectospasm | bingo: the way I understand it, the server kernel lacks a lot of the preemption code which makes a desktop nice and snappy | 19:32 |
| xmadragex | gadu am not sure i rarely use the livecd | 19:32 |
| gogeta | bingo remote i would say ssh | 19:32 |
| xmadragex | but ya cantry it should load up all the needed drivers | 19:32 |
| Gadu | xmadragex: worth a shot I guess then | 19:32 |
| xmadragex | never hurt to try | 19:32 |
| bingo | ectospasm: now how can i use NX at this server Edition.. | 19:32 |
| grawity | Scunizi: Do you want to list files that only exist in disk-1, or files that only exist in homedir? | 19:33 |
| bingo | gogeta: yes SSH, | 19:33 |
| Gadu | tunnlrat: I'll let you know if updating to a newer version of ubuntu solves it | 19:33 |
| Mike_lifeguard | !backup | 19:33 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 19:33 |
| ectospasm | bingo: read the NX documentation. or try #nx | 19:33 |
| Scunizi | grawity: that might work because I only want to know what is missing on the external usb.. so what is returned needs to be a full path listing of files in /home that DON't exist in /media/disk-1 | 19:33 |
| xmadragex | gadu i use a pratice that work for me for the past 8 years i always test it virtually and then one pass for most apps i test with the hardware in question then i make the switch | 19:33 |
| bingo | ectospasm: i have installed it without error now i am facing error at my side.. this (the remote proxy closed the connection while negitiating the session) | 19:33 |
| xmadragex | am picky | 19:33 |
| grawity | Scunizi: Actually, I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I'm just used to using the shell tools for stuff. | 19:33 |
| ectospasm | bingo: I dunno, try #nx | 19:34 |
| Scunizi | grawity: I don't have an issue using the shell tools for this.. they seem to be faster.. it's just which one and what method is best or easiest :) | 19:34 |

| ectospasm | Mike_lifeguard: why backup swap? | 19:35 |
| ctmjr | Gadu, have you tried changing the volume in alsamixer from the terminal | 19:35 |
| xmadragex | if am not too annoying with question what the diffrence with ext3 and ext4? and what recommanded | 19:35 |
| ectospasm | Morph`: you could use rsync, cp -R, etc. | 19:35 |

| === cryptide_ is now known as cryptide | ||
| Mike_lifeguard | roobly_roo: ok.... weird, but ok :) | 19:40 |
| grawity | Scunizi: Since find returns the _full_ path, cut removes the /home/user part -- so that the end result is somedir/somefile instead of /home/user/somedir/somefile. The -d / parameter makes it use slash for separator, -f 2- makes it only leave fields starting with the third one. (I think it should be 3- actually, I'm kinda sleepy now) | 19:41 |
| carthik | Glaedr, only admins should be able to shutdown machines, dont you think? | 19:41 |
| ectospasm | lich0r: I dunno then | 19:41 |
| Scunizi | grawity: and how is that determined to be the right one to use.. (my learning curve just started with this despite my 3 yrs linux use.) | 19:41 |
| carthik | Glaedr, if you don't think so, you can change the policy on your machine for anyone to be able to shutdown the machine... | 19:41 |
| ectospasm | carthik: anyone with physical access CAN shutdown your machine, there's really no way of preventing that | 19:41 |
| Gadu | ctmjr: all output volumes are maxed except cd which is 80%, inputs are mute | 19:41 |
| Glaedr | carthik » but when I do it by the GUI, I don't need to log myself as root | 19:41 |
| myself | i am myself | 19:42 |
| carthik | ectospasm, yeah, well, anyone without physical access, who is not an admin should not be able to shutdown the machine, there. | 19:42 |
| Glaedr | myself » lol | 19:42 |
| Scunizi | grawity: that makes sense.. so this will create a list of what is in /home that isn't in /media/disk-1.. then how do I pass that list to a cp command? | 19:42 |
| carthik | Glaedr, yeah, that is the policy I just mentioned, that makes it possible... | 19:42 |
| Glaedr | carthik » for example by System > Exit or by ctrl+alt+del | 19:42 |
| kain | i'm having trouble with my logitech webcam fusion, it doesn't seem to work, i have Ubuntu 9.10 installed, and i'm trying to use my webcam for video conference, does anyone know how to make the webcam work? | 19:42 |
| grawity | Scunizi: First, check if the list is okay. | 19:42 |
| carthik | Glaedr, there is something called policykit to make desktops friendlier | 19:42 |
| Glaedr | carthik » and how do I set it? | 19:43 |

| ectospasm | carthik: it's called a power button | 19:43 |
| Glaedr | carthik » the system policy | 19:43 |
| ectospasm | carthik: I dunno how you can lock that | 19:43 |
| ectospasm | carthik: maybe with a special case/motherboard | 19:43 |
| carthik | alright, can I have the question in one sentence? I am confused about what you are trying to do | 19:43 |
| grawity | Scunizi: And check if both lists have the correct amount of path cut ... I think the -f parameter to cut should be 4- instead of 2- | 19:44 |

| roobly_roo | Mike_lifeguard: If there are a hundred users on a given machine, it would be very problematic if any one person could kick everyone off by initiating a reboot. That's why `shutdown` and `reboot` require sudo. In the context of a desktop environment, the assumption is that only one (or few) will be using the machine, and therefore every user should have that privilege. | 19:44 |
| AceKing | kain: I had the same trouble with my Logitech. From what I read only certain ones will work | 19:44 |

| grawity | Scunizi: that's why |sort | 20:03 |
| Scunizi | iggy1: when you got that error it should have suggested building them for you. | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | jrtayloriv: avoid ndiswrapper crap if you can | 20:04 |
| Ahadiel | jrtayloriv, Just download the driver from broadcom's site (the tarball) and install it. | 20:04 |
| Scunizi | grawity: making it easier to identify the items.. right? | 20:04 |
| === red-lichtie_ is now known as red-lichtie | ||
| jrtayloriv | Thank you both. | 20:04 |
| Ahadiel | jrtayloriv, or in your case, copy it to a usb and use with your gentoo livecd | 20:04 |
| tunnlrat | iggy1, you using ubuntu 9.04? | 20:04 |
| jrtayloriv | erUSUL: do i still need firmware if I use proprietary drivers? | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | jrtayloriv: what propietary drivers ??? | 20:05 |
| krunk-|work | an ubuntu release upgrade should update the sources too eh? | 20:05 |
| jrtayloriv | erUSUL: wl -- the one Ahadiel is talking about. | 20:05 |
| Pici | krunk-|work: What sources? | 20:05 |
| Araneidae | Where is my memory? BIOS says 3G, Ubuntu says 2.5G! | 20:05 |
| iggy1 | Scunizi: well, the installation tries to build the kernels and then the error appears | 20:06 |
| krunk-|work | Pici: package sources | 20:06 |
| iggy1 | tunnlrat: yes | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | jrtayloriv: i would avoid that | 20:06 |
| Pici | krunk-|work: Ones you have downloaded using apt-get source? | 20:06 |
| jrtayloriv | erUSUL: why? | 20:06 |
| LeetDonkey | Hello, has anyone tried installing grub or any other kind of bootloader on a Adaptec 2045 controller? | 20:06 |
| Scunizi | iggy1: do you have "build-essential" installed? | 20:06 |
| === bac` is now known as bac | ||
| erUSUL | jrtayloriv: open source drivers give fewer problems in the long run | 20:06 |
| brandonban6 | hello, what is the difference between the "Terminal Service Client" and "Remote Desktop Viewer" | 20:06 |
| === red-lichtie_ is now known as red-lichtie | ||
| erUSUL | jrtayloriv: they get upgraded with the kernel and you do not have to reinstall them | 20:06 |
| iggy1 | Scunizi: no, i'll install it and try again, thanks | 20:07 |
| Scunizi | iggy1: np.. | 20:07 |
| Pici | krunk-|work: If so, then those are not tracked by apt, they are just file downloads. | 20:07 |
| krunk-|work | Pici: sec, I'm holding my breath hoping this goes well | 20:07 |
| jrtayloriv | erUSUL: Well, I need it working right now, and it is saying on the b43 site that they only support 802.11g (not b/a) ... so I'll stick with proprietary until the open source one is functional I guess. | 20:08 |
| erUSUL | jrtayloriv: also install linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic | 20:08 |
| erUSUL | jrtayloriv: they have up to dat wifi drivers | 20:08 |
| tunnlrat | brandonban6, is the Remote Desktop viewer a gui and the Terminal service client is just that, Text/Terminal? | 20:08 |
| Ahadiel | erUSUL, He wants drivers to use on his gentoo livecd. | 20:08 |
| erUSUL | Ahadiel: jrtayloriv wtf ??? then ask in a gentoo channel | 20:09 |
| krunk-|work | come onnnn baby, reboot :) | 20:09 |
| brandonban6 | tunnlrat, no they are both GUI default Ubuntu Applications. You can find them under Applications > Internet, I am just trying to figure out why they put both are on there. | 20:09 |
| Ahadiel | erUSUL, he initially wanted to COPY the working drivers from his Ubuntu installation. | 20:09 |

| grawity | Scunizi: yeah, 22:10 here. | 20:10 |
| Scunizi | grawity: noon here.. 10pm isn't bad.. but when you're feeling sleepy it might as well be | 20:11 |
| kain | i tried installing "apt-get install spca5xx-source" but it couldn't find the package, does anyone know how i can install it? | 20:12 |
| === kevin__ is now known as canadaeh | ||
| stealth- | kain: it might not be under that name, you can search with the "apt-cache search searchstuffhere" command | 20:12 |
| stealth- | kain: also, make sure you run "apt-get update" before you do any stuff with apt-get or apt-cache | 20:13 |
| grawity | Scunizi: Hackers don't sleep. (Kind of joking; but yeah, lack of sleep might explain the constant inability to concentrate :( | 20:13 |
| iggy1 | Scunizi: well, it sais i must configure kernel sources to match my kernel | 20:13 |
| daishadar | if i mount a samba drive in /etc/fstab, what happens when i lose net? will the share unmount? will it remount when i get net again? | 20:13 |
| kain | stealth: ok i'll try :) | 20:13 |
| canadaeh | lol.. i sleep till noon and am up till 4 :( bad sleep pattern | 20:13 |
| scorpy | yo ciber | 20:13 |
| Procedured | kain you might be able to find it here http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html | 20:13 |
| Scunizi | grawity: thanks for the help.. I'll tackle the remaining bits later. I'm off to do some actual work now. | 20:14 |
| scorpy | yo cyber rebel | 20:14 |
| Scunizi | iggy1: open synaptic and search for kernel.. in the resulting list look for the reference for "source" that matches your kernel and install. | 20:14 |
| chiques | is it possible to play my itunes m4p songs on ubuntu? | 20:14 |
| xmadragex | thank you to the people that replyed the information helped a lot | 20:15 |
| stealth- | daishadar: fstab is mounted on boot, or you can specify what part of it to mount with the "mount devicehere" command. It will not remount if you loose net and get it back, and it should unmount if you loose your internet, like a flash drive (not sure though) | 20:15 |
| Morph` | okay, here's a question: how do I change window managers from GNome to KDE? | 20:15 |
| racecar56 | http://racecar56.pastebin.com/f254c59b5 | 20:15 |
| iggy1 | Scunizi: what kernel? the ubuntu one? | 20:15 |
| erUSUL | Morph`: install the kubuntu-desktop package | 20:15 |
| racecar56 | Morph`, it's desktop environments | 20:15 |
| grawity | chiques: the ones with DRM, no. | 20:15 |
| canadaeh | Morph`: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ... or threw pakage manager | 20:15 |
| erUSUL | Morph`: you should be able to choose kde in the ligin screen after that | 20:15 |
| daishadar | stealth-: i see. how should i be mounting this share then so that it remounts when i gain net again? | 20:16 |
| dean | heyho =P | 20:16 |
| === Ramsed is now known as ramsed | ||
| Scunizi | iggy1: that's what you should be running unless you've installed one from some outside sources.. | 20:16 |
| chiques | grawity, So they are basically encrypted? | 20:16 |
| grawity | chiques: Yes. (And more than "basically") | 20:16 |
| Morph` | thankee | 20:16 |
| chiques | I guess that means I should start buying my music on Amazon then. | 20:17 |
| === ramsed is now known as Ramsed | ||
| stealth- | daishadar: samba *might* have something like that in the settings, but worse case scenerio you can write a bash script that checks to see if the samba share is mounted, and if its not it will mount it. Then you could put that script in the crontab to run every minute. | 20:17 |
| grawity | chiques: If you have Windows still, then you could use iTunes to burn the songs to a CD. Then rip back to Ogg or MP3 or whatever. | 20:18 |
| chiques | grawity, I see, but doesn't that loose all of the song information? | 20:18 |
| grawity | (Windows or Mac OS, that is.) | 20:18 |
| canadaeh | chiques: you can find ipod rip software online.. it will rip ipod songs off the ipod.. because itunes doesnt want you to do this.. | 20:18 |
| grawity | chiques: Like title, artist, year? "CD Text" does preserve some of it, but not much. | 20:19 |
| grawity | Anyway, this is probably not the place to discuss DRM removal :( | 20:19 |
| stealth- | chiques: and you can edit that stuff back in ubuntu, if you needed, but it might be a pain if you have alot of songs | 20:19 |
| chiques | grawity, I don't want to remove anything to do with DRM, I just wanted to play my music ( WHICH I PAYED FOR) on Linux instead of crappy windows | 20:20 |
| canadaeh | chiques: amarok can play ipods.. | 20:20 |
| chiques | grawity, stealth- thanks for the iinsight | 20:20 |
| canadaeh | chiques: just go to the options and set the device. | 20:20 |
| stealth- | chiques: anytime ;) | 20:20 |
| grawity | chiques: Well, DRM is called "Digital _Restrictions_ Management" by many not without a reason. | 20:20 |
| chiques | canadaeh, I'll try that | 20:20 |

| chiques | canadaeh, I'll check that out. I'm trying Amarok for now to see that how that works. | 20:24 |
| WIGGMPk | canadaeh: yes, i do lol | 20:24 |
| wbncly | ;P | 20:24 |
| krunk-|work | to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.0, I have to upgrade to 8.10 first. but I don't see how to do that | 20:24 |

| gartral | wizzo50: lean twords AMD if you play on running windows in a VM | 20:26 |
| chiques | canadaeh, Well, Amarok loaded my music but it doesn't want to play it. I guess I'll have to do the CD thing | 20:26 |
| wizzo50 | I know that, but just want to get a good one when I upgrade here in the next couple weeks | 20:26 |
| krunk-|work | hm, lsb_release -a says ubuntu 8.04, do-release-upgrade returns "no new releases found" | 20:26 |
| krunk-|work | lemme look over these docs again | 20:26 |

| gartral | latest* | 20:27 |
| canadaeh | chiques: did you try twice | 20:27 |
| canadaeh | chiques: like close amarok and re open | 20:27 |
| halberd | you just need to find a guide for it on the internet | 20:27 |
| chiques | canadaeh, OK, I'll try | 20:27 |
| stealth- | wizzo50: you should probably stay away from 64 bit processors, cause most people dont use them so you would get different support? | 20:27 |
| wizzo50 | Use it for games, movies | 20:27 |
| stealth- | wizzo50: sorry, that wasnt supposed to have a ? at the end | 20:28 |
| stealth- | gartral: ........really??? | 20:28 |
| krunk-|work | yeah, it say sno new release available | 20:28 |
| jrib | stealth-: do they even make processors that aren't 64bit anymore? | 20:28 |
| gartral | stealth-: yep | 20:28 |
| musicpenguin | i installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid but what do i do now? | 20:28 |
| krunk-|work | which can't be right. I'm running server though. perhaps 8.04 is the highest for server | 20:28 |

| wizzo50 | then what processor are you saying is good | 20:28 |
| CowEyeball_ | I believe I am experiencing an issue that was reported in bug# 310928. There seems to be a fix in dmraid(1.0.0.rc15-1~exp6ubuntu1) but I can't find this release. All I can find is the package located at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libdmraid1.0.0.rc15 . Anyone have any idea of where I should go? | 20:28 |
| stealth- | wizzo50: pretty much anything thats not 64 bit | 20:29 |

| krunk-|work | yes, 8.04 is the most recent. good! :) | 20:29 |
| krunk-|work | distupgrades make me nervous | 20:29 |
| wizzo50 | THe only way to find out is ask around | 20:29 |
| stealth- | wizzo50: like I said, almost any cpu or motherboard should work just as well with linux as windows, and get a nvidia video card | 20:30 |
| SuspectZero | hey is it possible to have both a bootsplash and colors on grub at the same time? | 20:30 |
| wizzo50 | ok, thanks | 20:30 |
| stealth- | wizzo50: if you wanted ideas on what is a good motherboard and cpu in general, ask the people in ##hardware | 20:30 |
| wizzo50 | ok, I'll go there now thanks | 20:30 |
| erUSUL | stealth-: stay away from 64 bit processors <<< so he has to buy an atom or a years old CPU ?? becouse modern ones are all 64 bit capable... | 20:30 |

| musicpenguin | anyone know ath5k? | 20:31 |
| stealth- | erUSUL: well they are not all 64 bit, I meant stay away from the operating systems were you have to download 64 bit stuff | 20:31 |
| erUSUL | musicpenguin: is the name of a linux kernel driver | 20:31 |

| erUSUL | stealth-: there are no desktop pure 64 bit cpu's all are mixed | 20:33 |
| musicpenguin | erUSUL, i think so...thats what everyone tells me..right now im usning ndiswrapper but i have to modprobe the driver myself or the gui freezes | 20:33 |
| erUSUL | stealth-: and what mdm says is quite true i use 64 bit and have no problems | 20:33 |
| musicpenguin | erUSUL, i just installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid ...do i need to reboot? | 20:34 |
| erUSUL | musicpenguin: just modprobe the module and see if it recognices the card and creates the wlan0 | 20:34 |
| mdm | and like erUSUL said there are no 64 bit only x86 cpus, it would be contrary to making a CISC cpu anyway | 20:34 |
| mat__ | my ubuntu 9.04 just stopped working - it does not boot any more - hdd can be mounted with live system, but there seems to be no obvious rescue option to just make the already installed system boot again. The system seem not to recognize that the hdd is bootable at all. | 20:34 |
| erUSUL | musicpenguin: no; no reboot is needed | 20:34 |
| stealth- | mdm | erUSUL: K, thanks for clearing that up, I guess I need to rethink my view on 64 bit with a little googling ;) | 20:34 |
| musicpenguin | erUSUL, while ndiswrappers is on? | 20:34 |

| mdm | stealth-: what I suspect you are going on is the lack of support for 64 bit windows, or at least the lack of percived support. the only real argument for running windows is "so many people make software for it". It is also its detriment. But because so many of those developers have to make the software for the widest audience windows 64 bit falls by the wayside, especially in drivers. The same can be said for linux modules for the same hardware. And that is | 20:37 |
| mdm | one of the main points in the open software arguments. | 20:37 |

| mdm | stealth-: if I have a windows 32 bit driver on a 64 bit box im screwed. If I have source code for a driver I can compile it to 64 bit on my own. It is one of the greatest strengths of linux | 20:39 |
| stealth- | mdm: actually my view wasnt from windows, i've been on linux for a few years now, before I knew much tech stuff. So I think its due to opions from me only thinking there is only pure 64 or i368, and then since I see less people talking about 64 bit i assumed its not supported very well. | 20:39 |

| MrKeuner | darkest_night, np thanks anyways | 20:41 |
| musicpenguin | erUSUL, np :) | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | musicpenguin: yes you have to backlist ath_pci | 20:42 |

| Ahadiel | gartral, I think the \a escape key triggers a terminal beep | 20:42 |
| musicpenguin | erUSUL, where is ath_pci..i dont see it in my blacklist...or do i add it? | 20:42 |

| Dr_Willis | !rpm | 20:44 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 20:44 |

| erUSUL | musicpenguin: have youunloaded ndiswrapper ? disabled it ? | 20:46 |
| robd | Is there an easy way to do this? | 20:46 |

| musicpenguin | erUSUL, i can but if i do i cant chat on here..ill disconnect | 20:46 |
| Dr_Willis | pronoy: try terminal.. look for error.info messages.. Personally i use geany not gedit. | 20:46 |
| musicpenguin | erUSUL, thats why i wanted to know what to do first | 20:46 |
| darkest_night | mrkeuner, and exactly this device is also selected in the volume-regulator? | 20:46 |

| erUSUL | musicpenguin: well to try and see if ath5k works with your card you will have to do it and load the ath5k driver | 20:47 |
| MrKeuner | darkest_night, i am not sure what a volume-regulator is | 20:47 |

| mat__ | Please help! How can I make an already installed ubuntu 9.04 bootable again? My ubuntu 9.04 system refused to boot this morning, the PC seems not to recognize that the hdd is bootable at all, it immediately searches all other bootable devices – no ubuntu-screen or grub-display. The disk with ubuntu can still be mounted with the live system (all data there, fdisk shows partition is bootable), but there seems to be no obvious rescue option to jus | 20:49 |
| mat__ | t make the already installed system boot again. The only option I get is to install a new ubuntu 9.04 alongside the old system, which I did not want to try. | 20:49 |
| mdm | robd: it depends on the speed of the connections, if there all networked on the same LAN, then its fine. If you have to cross links with lag, you will start to have issues | 20:49 |
| richj | anyone else patiently waiting? | 20:50 |
| darkest_night | 20:50 | |
| gnewb | halberd: Yes, I see, am looking for the solution now. | 20:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mat__: you can boot a live cd and reinstall grub.. if its some how a 'grub got deleted' issue.. | 20:50 |
| halberd | gnewb because it seems to load the wrong driver when it does that, or only go into a partial mode | 20:50 |
| erUSUL | mat__: you chaged boot order in bios ? | 20:50 |
| * darkest_night cya @ all | 20:50 | |
| mdm | mat__: pop in the dvd/cd you built it from, boot the dvd/cd, tell it to run from cd and see if the box sees the disk. You should also check to see BIOS sees it and the cables did not come loose. | 20:50 |
| halberd | gnewb where not all functionality is enabled... but it works fine when I have the tablet plugged in and restart X | 20:51 |
| IngerPoznas | richj do you know something about my problem? | 20:51 |
| richj | mat__ is this a non system disk problem? | 20:51 |

| Al__NZ | sorry about the typos | 20:51 |
| erUSUL | mdm: he did that already quote « The disk with ubuntu can still be mounted with the live system (all data there, fdisk shows partition is bootable), | 20:51 |
| richj | IngerPoznas, since I have been online, your problem has not be mentioned. Whats up? | 20:51 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: no problem | 20:51 |
| gnewb | halberd: That is what I am guessing also, it could be easy as an update or may need a device installed. | 20:51 |

| scott_ino2 | still happens if idle for 30 seconds or more... | 20:52 |
| unko | Kingsy101, if your doing a website than wouldn't you make the coding work with firefox & IE? | 20:52 |
| Dr_Willis | IngerPoznas: theres some flash tweaks/extra package4s that may work around that issue.. but i dont know the details of them. | 20:52 |
| richj | IngerPoznas, can you give a more full description | 20:52 |
| King_Arthur | Kings101 you can install a firefox pluging | 20:53 |
| IngerPoznas | Dr_Willis: i have already flash but i have problem with the audio... | 20:53 |
| iggy1 | IngerPoznas: do you use ALSA or OSS? | 20:53 |
| halberd | gnewb, the problem is something to do with ubuntu's automatic attempt at loading the tablet when it is plugged in, somehow it doesn't do everything that it does when it boots up | 20:53 |
| Dr_Willis | IngerPoznas: yes.. there are issues with flash audio with some people. its not a firefox issue.. its a flash (stinks) issue. :) | 20:53 |

| mat__ | @richj there is only one disk in the system, which was installed with ubuntu from the beginning | 20:54 |
| richj | Dr_Willis, greetings | 20:54 |
| Kingsy101 | not really sure what you mean by vm.. wouldnt that be the same as just changing pcs? like I would have to re-start etc | 20:54 |
| erUSUL | bsl: it it is HW raid it should be set up in the bios of the card; shouldn't it ? | 20:54 |
| gnewb | halberd: Is it a storage device or a device like WiFi or something? | 20:54 |
| IngerPoznas | richj: so for example when i switch on the laptop i open rythmbox if after i go on facebook and open a video i won't have any audio and firefox will crash | 20:54 |
| IngerPoznas | and after also rythmbox | 20:54 |
| musicpenguin_ | erUSUL, i dont have wlan0 | 20:54 |
| unko | Kingsy101, i see, but really who uses ie anymore | 20:54 |
| erUSUL | musicpenguin_: after loading ath5k ? | 20:55 |
| bsl | erUSUL: the bios says its setup, but when I install ubuntu server it splits the RAID members up | 20:55 |
| musicpenguin_ | erUSUL, yes | 20:55 |
| halberd | gnewb it is a pointing device... but I don't think that my problem is specific to the device. I think the problem has to do with the kernel's attempt to automatically load the driver when it gets plugged in | 20:55 |
| bsl | erUSUL: so I'm trying to partition it from within ubuntu | 20:55 |
| erUSUL | bsl: the raid card is supported by linux ? | 20:55 |
| halberd | gnewb I think it either loads the wrong driver or doesn't apply the settings in xorg.conf to it | 20:55 |
| Kingsy101 | I mean does anyone have any advice? what is meant by installing a vm? | 20:55 |
| richj | IngerPoznas, this sounds non trivial | 20:55 |
| bsl | erUSUL: I assume so, its a GIGABYTE mobo, which is fairly new | 20:55 |

| ZykoticK9 | Kingsy101, vm is "virtual machine" ie VirtualBox or VMWare type thing | 20:56 |

| IngerPoznas | ok thanks for your help | 20:57 |
| gnewb | halberd: I agree with that assessment, I am not certain if it is .xorg or .conkyrc | 20:57 |
| Kingsy101 | what is meant by that? for example what would be the steps I had to take to say open internet explorer after I have create the vm? | 20:57 |
| bsl | I'm new to RAID but I assumed since the mobo claimed to support RAID then it was not a fakeraid | 20:57 |
| musicpenguin_ | erUSUL, any clue? or anything i should try? | 20:57 |
| mat__ | @mdm checked cables first, all ok, ubuntu livecd sees the hdd | 20:57 |
| richj | IngerPoznas, has this problem happened from the beginning? | 20:57 |
| Jeruvy | bsl: unless it's a REAL raid card...it's fakeraid :) | 20:57 |
| bsl | ah okay | 20:57 |
| stealth- | Kingsy101: you can run windows ontop of linux. so opening that internet explorer would be just like windows | 20:57 |
| === gary_ is now known as Guest65277 | ||
| stealth- | Kingsy101: you basically run two computers at the same time, with ubuntu hosting the other system | 20:58 |
| erUSUL | bsl: it is raid implemented in the bios software... if you plan to use only linux on the machine it is better to sue linux's software raid implementation | 20:58 |
| mdm | mat__: run fdisk on it see if its marked bootable, if not rerun grub on it | 20:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kingsy101, a Virtual Machine is an instance of say Windows running inside of Ubuntu - so it's a full install of Windows running... | 20:58 |
| erUSUL | bsl: *use* | 20:58 |
| mat__ | @mdm it is marked bootable, checked that | 20:58 |
| erUSUL | musicpenguin_: i can not think on anything... if the driver does not see the card on load... | 20:58 |
| richj | mat__, do you get a non system disk error | 20:58 |
| mdm | mat__: you can run it again, it does not hurt (if the config it correct) | 20:59 |
| mat__ | @mdm but "running grub" seem not to be easy | 20:59 |
| bsl | erUSUL: I wont take any CPU hit? It's a home server, only 1.8GHz Celeron | 20:59 |
| Kingsy101 | stealth- - is it difficult to setup? | 20:59 |
| stealth- | Kingsy101: no, not really | 20:59 |
| mat__ | I do not get a "non system disk" error, the bios just seems to wait for a cd | 20:59 |
| erUSUL | bsl: the same hit as using the one in the bios... both are software and use main cpu | 20:59 |
| musicpenguin_ | erUSUL, ok thanks :) | 21:00 |
| richj | mat__, I would say same difference | 21:00 |
| Kingsy101 | stealth- - what kinda operating system would you advise running of it? xp ? | 21:00 |
| mdm | bsl if you did not spend a few hundred dollars on the card, if it does not have a plugin for a battery backup, its probably sofware (read driver) raid5. Like erUSUL said go make a md out of them and put the card in jbod mode | 21:00 |
| stealth- | Kingsy101: whatever one you want. Why are you doing this, btw? | 21:00 |
| erUSUL | bsl: just linux raid is better supported (obiously) and is faster on most situations | 21:00 |
| Kingsy101 | stealth- - I need to do some web development testing with IE but my development platform is on ubuntu | 21:01 |
| mat__ | richj, I do not get a "non system disk" error, the bios just seems to wait for a cd | 21:01 |
| richj | mat__, first things first... check that the hard disk is recognised in the bios, and that the bios is set up to boot from the correct disk | 21:01 |

| Kingsy101 | I have wine installed | 21:01 |
| bsl | Kingsy101: I only spent a few hundred dollars on the entire system, so I'm not prepared to spent a few hundred on a RAID card, lol | 21:01 |
| mdm | erUSUL: I have yet to see one situation in which fakeraid was faster then software raid. There really is no comparison the differnce it blatantly obvious. | 21:01 |
| stealth- | Kingsy101: wine is a windows emulator, it pretends to be windows so you can run windows applications | 21:01 |
| erUSUL | bsl: read the first two paragraphs here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 21:01 |
| bsl | erUSUL: I havn't read the wiki yet, but dmraid is the prog I'm looking at | 21:02 |

| Kingsy101 | stealth- - I have wine installed but I cant find a program that runs on it that emulates internet explorer 6 7 and 8 | 21:02 |

| Kingsy101 | has anyone in here had it running before? I just need to find an app that might do it... | 21:02 |

| tunnlrat | Kingsy101, why would you need your stuff to run in the older versions of IE?? They upgrade it for a reason to attempt to stop the loopholes, even microsoft doesn't give support for them anymore ppl should upgrade and can for free | 21:04 |

| bsl | erUSUL: thanks for the info, I'll see what I can do | 21:04 |
| Kingsy101 | tunnlrat - I agree but there is no point in saying that.. the sad fact is that people still use old browsers | 21:04 |
| mdm | bsl: I have 4 raid arrays, 3 are external SATA and one internal. The internal one is really just 4 SATA disks in a 1+0 md with lvm. the external are real raid5. my next step is to remove that internal array and make it external via eSATA and that is for heat, not performance nor raid setup | 21:04 |
| kevin__ | musicpenguin_: no, its pci.. pcie is for videocards | 21:05 |
| musicpenguin_ | oh ok | 21:05 |
| bingo | Hii again | 21:05 |
| erUSUL | Al__NZ: yes... maybe you gain some velocity if you tweak bs parameter... not sure if ddrescue support it though (normal dd does) | 21:05 |

| musicpenguin_ | kevin__, why does it say pci? | 21:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kingsy101, if you need to test IE 7 & 8, then using a Virtual Machine is probably your best bet. good luck. | 21:05 |

| kevin__ | musicpenguin_: lines 12 not lines 56 | 21:10 |
| bingo | zykotick9: where is .xinitrc file lcoated ? | 21:10 |
| slayton | erUSUL, here is my cat /proc/cpuinfo http://paste2.org/p/271474 | 21:10 |
| musicpenguin_ | kevin__, from that can you see my wireless card? | 21:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bingo: you can make one in the users home directory | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | slayton: can you launch a cpu intensive task ? | 21:11 |
| kevin__ | well its not recognizing a pci wireless card no, | 21:11 |
| krunk-|work | so I want to set up the ubuntu server so that system mails are relayed through my isp's smtp. what's the most straight forward way of doing so? | 21:11 |
| musicpenguin_ | kevin__, how funny..i have wirless up with ndiswrappers but ath5k doesnt see wlan0 | 21:11 |
| bingo | Dr_willis: i installed $sudo apt-get install tightvncserver .. then i did # tightvncserver it asked about passwrd i entered.. | 21:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | bingo, actually i think you need to look at ~/.vnc/xstartup (.xinitrc is not present be default probably, but it tells X what Windows Manager to start - it would be in your home folder) | 21:11 |
| slayton | erUSUL, yes... what should I run during that task? | 21:11 |
| xmadragex | anyway if someone can help me with my nvidia resolution problem PM me since am at work and i zigzag around like a bee (sorry for double type) | 21:12 |
| kevin__ | musicpenguin_: ye thats good, i thought you can use hardware drives >> administration >>system | 21:12 |
| Kingsy101 | could I possibly ask someone to help me install a vm on my ubuntu machine? if someone has a few mins to spare? | 21:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bingo: read the docs for that vnc server. You can make a simple .xinitrc if you wanted. (2 lines) --> xterm & metacity | 21:12 |
| kevin__ | musicpenguin_: instead of ndis | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | slayton: something that will get the cpu to scale to its full freq | 21:12 |
| krunk-|work | maybe I'll just uninstall exim4 and do it with postfix | 21:12 |
| richj | Kingsy101, its very easy | 21:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bingo: i tend to use vnc4server it uses .vnc/xstartup for its programs to startup | 21:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | bingo, i had this issue yesterday with Medibuntu the fix there was to add "unset SESSION_MANAGER" to the ~/.vnc/xstartup file -- but that was really a XFCE specific issue... | 21:13 |
| richj | Kingsy101, make a new virtual drive, mount the install cd | 21:13 |
| Kingsy101 | richj - can we talk in a pm? | 21:13 |
| musicpenguin_ | kevin__, my hardware drivers is empty | 21:13 |
| richj | Kingsy101, ok | 21:13 |
| Kingsy101 | thanks | 21:13 |
| bingo | Zykotick9: yes here is xstartup, it is showig that.. xrdb $home/.Xresource ... #ssetroot -solid grey ... x-terminal-emulater -egeometry 80x.... x-windows-manager & | 21:13 |
| wizzo50 | ##eggheads | 21:13 |
| slayton | erUSUL, i can do that but the cpu only goes to 2.67 ghz not 3.00 ghz | 21:13 |
| mdm | Kingsy101: install vbox, run it, make an instance for ubu, virtualise either the iso image or the actual cd/dvd then start the instance you made and have fun | 21:13 |
| mat__ | richj, no, nothing done before. Maybe ubuntu got some updates yesterday, but I do not recall anything special - its all automatic. I did not install any other software or anything. I just made ubuntu shutdown. Then this morning the computer was shaken quite a bit due to craftsmen repairing the house (device off). After that the problems started, which was, why I first checked the cables and sound of the hdd and ran the short test of seatools (its | 21:14 |
| mat__ | a barracuda 7200.11 1.5 TB). Is it important that my ubuntu is 64bit? | 21:14 |

| krunk-|work | does ubuntu "count on exim4" I'm not familiar with exim, but wouldn't want to break anything by uninstalling it | 21:14 |
| bingo | Dr_willis: first of all it is ubuntu 8.04 server edittion which hadn not GUI , so i installed by $sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 21:14 |
| richj | mat__, pm me | 21:14 |
| bingo | now i am seeing /etc/init.d/gdm here it also restart | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | slayton: so either your bios/linux has a bug or the cpu only suports 2.67 | 21:14 |
| slayton | but cat /proc/cpuinfo clearly shows that i have a 3ghz cpu | 21:15 |
| mdm | erUSUL: one of mine does available frequency steps: 2.60 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.20 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.80 GHz, 1000 MHz | 21:15 |

| musicpenguin_ | where can i get hardware drivers | 21:15 |

I've since given up on the modem, at this point I don't care if it works.

| wizzo50 | I download Mailman and it wouldn't run on here | 21:29 |
| krunk-|work | erUSUL: that would force install postfix, but not remove exim4 right? | 21:30 |
| * DBO looks at guntbert oddly | 21:30 | |
| krunk-|work | and since they both provide a sendmail, would that not cause issues? | 21:30 |
| morbid_bean | Laoch | 21:30 |
| lich0r | jlaroche, I do not code by any means, but when I google ubuntu and iphone sdk I saw many results...perhaps one of them would help you? | 21:30 |
| guntbert | DBO: why? | 21:30 |
| losher | lich0r: in general, it's best to assume the VM host and VM guest are completely separate, so the answer is you need to install it on both if you want to talk to both... | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | krunk-|work: dunno; i spect to remove one or the other to avoid the conflict in mail-transport-agent | 21:30 |
| gaddzilla | krunk-|work: if you're just talking about removing the dependencies and such, try sudo apt-get autoremove | 21:30 |
| krunk-|work | erUSUL: it errors out on that as well | 21:30 |
| DBO | guntbert, what was he doing wrong except for not understanding that the enter key is not a comma? | 21:30 |
| wizzo50 | Where is File roller at on ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| wizzo50 | Or is is something I need to download and run? | 21:31 |
| erUSUL | wizzo50: when you double click on an archive in nautilus it opens | 21:31 |
| guntbert | DBO: look at his sentences about ubuntu being... | 21:31 |
| krunk-|work | ok, it removed exim4, but not the other exim packages. now it refused to install postfix or re install exim4 even when using the -f switch | 21:31 |
| krunk-|work | autoremove does not work | 21:32 |
| DBO | guntbert, that you, teach me not to backscroll enough, hes gone now already however | 21:32 |
| guntbert | DBO: :) | 21:32 |

| gaddzilla | @qr: tightvnc is my favorite | 21:33 |
| lich0r | thanks losher | 21:34 |
| qr | gaddzilla: can that share a desktop that's logged in locally? I thought no. | 21:34 |
| chiques | guntbert, What do you mean? I was fixing a type | 21:34 |
| Sifr | I can't boot from the livecd, it fails every time I try, so yes I'd like to install from the usb. | 21:34 |
| krunk-|work | all I want to do is remove one mta and install another, there's the endless cycle of errors: http://pastie.org/516890 | 21:34 |

| guntbert | chiques: I wanted you not to paste a lot in here (misunderstanding you last line) :-), sorry | 21:35 |
| misha | hi all - need help with network - trying to use ICS from my moto q9c - stuck with no dhcp | 21:36 |
| Sifr | Scunizi: yeah, I get the language select, then the main disk menu, but every option on the menu causes my computer to irreparably freeze. | 21:36 |
| siwelwerd | Good afternoon. Would this be the correct place to look for help with an installation of Ubuntu Netbook Remix, or is there another place for that? | 21:36 |
| krunk-|work | kdw: http://pastie.org/516902 | 21:36 |
| chiques | guntbert, OK, that's what I figured....np | 21:36 |
| krunk-|work | nope | 21:36 |
| krunk-|work | this all started when I did "apt-get remove exim4" | 21:36 |
| krunk-|work | then tried to apt-get install postfix. explosions followed | 21:36 |
| Scunizi | Sifr: I had an issue similar.. I had to add pci=nomsi to the kernel boot line. | 21:36 |
| doppelganger_ | hi guys, does anybody have a moment to help me fix a soundcard issue? | 21:37 |
| krunk-|work | apt-get fail | 21:37 |
| kdw | krunk-|work: tried to remove postfix? | 21:37 |
| krunk-|work | same circular error | 21:37 |
| Sifr | Scunizi: unfortunately I have no idea what that means. I've yet to find a useful resource to learn anything about boot lines or anything like that. | 21:37 |
| krunk-|work | postfix is not installed | 21:38 |
| krunk-|work | damnit | 21:39 |
| kdw | krunk-|work: tried apt-get -f install (by itself, no package name) | 21:39 |
| wizzo50 | will they ever have voice talk on here with mic? LOL | 21:39 |
| iggy1 | i need help.. if i install nvidia drivers (any verison) i get blank screen after reboot/reloading X | 21:39 |
| guntbert | n2diy: have you figured it out? | 21:40 |
| krunk-|work | kdw: doing that now, I'm getting exim4 back installed | 21:40 |
| Scunizi | Sifr: on the initial menu before loading the desktop.. push F6 and you'll get something new showing up .. look for the line mentioning kernel and at the end before "quiet splash" add pci=nomsi and hit enter. | 21:40 |
| n2diy | gunbert, no, still wading through it. | 21:40 |
| guntbert | !ask | doppelganger_ | 21:40 |
| ubottu | doppelganger_: 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. :-) | 21:40 |
| krunk-|work | ok, so I think I"m back to square one => replacing exim4 with postfix. though all I need to do is set up a smtp relay for system mail | 21:40 |
| Sifr | Scunizi: Alright thanks, I'l give that a shot. I guess if something goes wrong I'll just come back. | 21:41 |
| guntbert | n2diy: what does "fuser -m <path to your flash drive>" tell you? | 21:41 |
| doppelganger_ | gotcha =) i have a creative xfi notebook card i'm trying to install. If i use lspci it lists my card, but past that i don't really know what to do to get it to work | 21:41 |
| n2diy | gunbert, no, still wading through it. I found five pids using /dev/sdb1, and I've been killing them in top. The first one I killed, closed my terminal!? | 21:41 |
| packet-sent | I have my drive fully encrypted using alternative installer everything has ran fine until the latest kernel update now my system wont boot unless I choose the earlier kernel,,I think the problem is that at boot time I am NOT being asked for my passphrase with the new kernel password, does anyone know how this might be fixable? | 21:41 |
| kdw | krunk-|work: try now installing ssmtp, hopefully it will prompt to remove exim4 for you | 21:41 |
| gaddzilla | @n2diy was your terminal in the directory you wanted to unmount? | 21:41 |
| n2diy | gaddzilla: I'm working on a flash drive, so I can't imagine terminal would be running from it. | 21:43 |
| guntbert | n2diy: open another terminal, and look again with fuser -m | 21:43 |
| krunk-|work | kdw: cool beans, you rock. I guess ssmtp will suffice for auch a simple task | 21:43 |
| yowshi | what is it with ubuntu and usb devices. iof a programming using one jamms thats it your screwed and have to reboot | 21:43 |
| n2diy | guntbert: doing that now. | 21:43 |
| yowshi | last time it was a webcam thias time it's a joystick | 21:43 |
| kdw | krunk-|work: thanks! love them cool beans | 21:43 |
| krunk-|work | oh no, errors :P | 21:44 |
| gaddzilla | @n2diy I meant was your working directory the directory you mounted /dev/sdb1 in? that will cause your terminal to be "using" it | 21:44 |

| ctmjr | doppelgaenger: what does aplay -l show for sound cards? | 21:45 |
| aZaFred | adding -y doesn't fix it... anybody has any idea how to get past that? | 21:45 |
| BellinXFelon | Dr_Willis I use k3b too, im just wondering if there is a faster way to burn iso to dvd | 21:45 |
| krunk-|work | kdw: it was a fake out | 21:46 |
| krunk-|work | http://pastie.org/516890 | 21:46 |
| doppelganger_ | ctmjr: no mention of the creative card shown there =/ | 21:46 |
| mrwes | BellinXFelon, growisofs | 21:46 |
| klb_ | Hi there, is there a a repo for gnome shell? | 21:46 |
| mdm | Dr_Willis: I prefer growisofs, I dont need a gui, can run it via ssh and has many more options | 21:46 |
| krunk-|work | apt said "yah, I know what to do...oh wait, no I don't" | 21:46 |
| BellinXFelon | mrwes : so how do i use growisofs? | 21:47 |
| BellinXFelon | mrwes : i apologize, im rather new to this | 21:47 |
| misha | hi all - need help with network - trying to use ICS from my moto q9c - stuck with rndis not working | 21:47 |
| darkhelmetlive | is there a way to refresh the bash cache or whatever it is? like i compile something to /usr/local and it takes precedence over what's in /usr, and "which" reports the proper path, but bash still wants to run the old one | 21:47 |
| Dr_Willis | BellinXFelon: if you have the iso allready made.. its trivial to do the actual 'burning' its the generating of the iso that takes the time/effort/gui stuff :) | 21:48 |
| mrwes | BellinXFelon, for a dvd iso: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=dvd.iso | 21:48 |
| krunk-|work | guess I'm stuck with exim4 | 21:48 |
| BellinXFelon | ok | 21:48 |
| mrwes | BellinXFelon, dvd.iso = whatever you called your iso | 21:48 |
| mdm | growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrom=image.iso :P | 21:48 |
| sanjay | gud morning | 21:48 |
| BellinXFelon | mrwes : i understand i just plug in the name of the iso and type that into konsole | 21:48 |
| n2diy | Ok, I got the flash drive erased. How do you know when to use /dev/sdb1 or /media/disk with a command? They both point to the same device, but seem to have different behaviors? | 21:49 |
| mrwes | BellinXFelon, yah...I always all mine dvd.iso, because I use a bash alias to type the rest | 21:49 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: /dev/ is the DEVICE /media/ is the Mountpoint. | 21:49 |
| kdw | krunk-|work: mmph. backuppc requires -some- mail-transport-agent | 21:49 |
| guntbert | good evening sanjay, do you have a support question? | 21:49 |
| BellinXFelon | mrwes: I see, and this is faster than k3b? | 21:49 |
| mrwes | BellinXFelon, alias burndvd='growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=dvd.iso && eject /dev/dvd' | 21:49 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: you mount a device to a mountpoint. | 21:49 |
| sanjay | yes guntbert | 21:49 |
| kdw | krunk-|work: just going to look at the rdepends... | 21:50 |
| sanjay | can u help me pls | 21:50 |
| mrwes | BellinXFelon, dunno...I use both -- I'm a big fan of K3b -- rock solid app | 21:50 |
| mdm | n2diy: /dev/anything is a link to the device, and unless you used mknod /media/anything is where ubuntu mounted things to | 21:50 |
| krunk-|work | kdw: yeah, that makes sense but shouldn't apt know what I"m trying to do is replace that dep? | 21:50 |

| Natanael_L | Where's the windows font pack!? | 21:59 |
| Sirchade | restricted-extras | 21:59 |
| guntbert | !latest | siwelwerd | 21:59 |
| ubottu | siwelwerd: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 21:59 |
| Natanael_L | siwelwerd: download, compile, point to it in GRUB | 21:59 |
| Sirchade | Natanael restricted extras has windows fonts | 21:59 |
| kdw | krunk-|work: lack of MTA? ssmtp is an MTA. | 22:00 |

| stealth- | Cry__Baby: next time, check to see if the keyboard lights are flashing | 23:44 |
| ongolaBoy | hi.what's the difference between 'apt-get update' and 'aptitude update' ? | 23:44 |
| packet-sent | fccf: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m41c63a5 | 23:44 |
| SethLutz | When I put the CD in and rebooted the computer, it booted up. | 23:44 |
| stealth- | Cry__Baby: that indicated a kernel panick, and is usually hardware related. | 23:44 |
| kiki67100 | Cry__Baby, or CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE | 23:44 |
| Stephen_ | LOL.... I'm glad my problems aren't quite as bad as others... it's just a nuisance more than anything | 23:44 |
| Bodsda | Cry__Baby: ok, i dont think theres anything you can do then, odd that it wont even let you switch to tty1 | 23:44 |
| xXx_codex_xXx | hola | 23:44 |
| xXx_codex_xXx | speak spanish | 23:45 |
| ChubZee | ongolaBoy, aptitude is a smarter program generally, but both commands have the same end result | 23:45 |
| Bodsda | kiki67100: ctrl+alt+backspace is not enabled by default anymore | 23:45 |
| Davi1 | SethLutz: ok good so then does it load the cd? | 23:45 |
| Bodsda | !espanol | xXx_codex_xXx | 23:45 |
| ubottu | xXx_codex_xXx: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 23:45 |
| SethLutz | Yes | 23:45 |
| stealth- | ongolaBoy: apt-get is just a wrapper for aptitude, so afaik they do the same thing | 23:45 |
| Davi1 | SethLutz: and it gave you a command prompt? | 23:45 |
| xXx_codex_xXx | ok thank you | 23:45 |
| Bodsda | stealth-: not quite, aptitude is a bit more low level | 23:46 |
| SethLutz | Are you talking about the thing that says "Try Ubuntu" | 23:46 |
| Davi1 | SethLutz: yes. you have to click on that | 23:46 |
| stealth- | Bodsda: yeah, so apt-get just uses aptitude, doesnt it? | 23:46 |
| SethLutz | Yes, I get that | 23:46 |
| stealth- | thet toolbars for alot of my gnome apps have dissapeared, any one know how to get them back? | 23:47 |
| ongolaBoy | Bodsda: aptitude a bit more low level than apt ? i thought it was the contrary :) | 23:47 |
| ChubZee | stealth-, aptitude uses apt | 23:47 |
| Davi1 | SethLutz: ok. once you're in there on the desktop or on system/administrator there should be an install button. | 23:47 |
| ChubZee | not vice versa | 23:47 |
| SethLutz | Yes | 23:47 |
| stealth- | ChubZee: oh. thanks for clearing that up | 23:47 |
| Stephen_ | can anyone assist with a Java issue? | 23:48 |
| ChubZee | yw | 23:48 |
| S0LIDUS | Hi everyone could anyone tell me what LVM is? | 23:48 |
| Bodsda | ongolaBoy: I think you may be right actually, although apt-get is | 23:48 |
| stealth- | solid_liq: LVM is a Linux Volume Manager, its generally used to manager encrypted disks | 23:48 |
| Bodsda | apt-get is a frontend for dpkg | 23:48 |
| kiki67100 | SethLutz, gnome-panel ? | 23:48 |
| Davi1 | SethLutz: ok so then you click on the install button, and it basically takes you through a guide. on the partition setup, if you don't know much about partitions just select the default, otherwise you might mess up your windows partition | 23:48 |
| kiki67100 | stealth- * | 23:48 |
| stealth- | SOLIDUS: LVM is a Linux Volume Manager, its generally used to manager encrypted disks | 23:48 |
| SethLutz | and when I install it, when I boot it up, it will do the comand prompt. | 23:48 |
| kiki67100 | stealth-, your gnome-panel ? | 23:49 |
| Davi1 | SethLutz: ok. on the command prompt what does it say? like what kinda command prompt is it | 23:49 |
| stealth- | kiki67100: no, not gnome panel, the toolbar, like the thing that says "File Settings About etc" and sits on the top of your programs | 23:49 |
| S0LIDUS | stealth: Is encrypted disks better than Windows disk encryption | 23:49 |
| stealth- | SOLIDUS: depends. What were you using to encrypt the windows disk? truecrypt? | 23:50 |
| kiki67100 | stealth-, metacity --replace ? | 23:50 |
| fccf | packet-sent: I think your solution can be found here http://www.kennynet.co.uk/2009/04/27/ubuntu-jaunty-upgrade-encrypted-home-not-mounting/ | 23:50 |
| stealth- | SOLIUS: generally, they use the same algorithms, but linux tends to manage it better | 23:50 |
| S0LIDUS | stealth: Windows own encryption | 23:50 |
| sylvanus_ | Does anybody know how to get jasper for kopete? | 23:51 |
| stealth- | SOLIDUS: afaik, they should be the same | 23:51 |
| yowshi | wooo joystick as mouse shtal worked | 23:51 |
| stealth- | kiki67100: no, its not an issue with the window manager itself, but with the apps | 23:52 |
| sylvanus_ | does anyone know how to get jasper for kopete? | 23:52 |
| packet-sent | fccf: thnx for info will look into it.............. | 23:52 |
| S0LIDUS | stealth: In windows if you encrypt the drive your programs are in some don't work! | 23:52 |
| Davi1 | SethLutz: if it doens't boot ubuntu it might be your boot loader. what happens is if you install ubuntu after having windows on you computer, the boot setup, which basically choosing between windows and linux, is on default so it uses the windows one if i'm correct. what you wanna do is use the GRUB bootloader to dual boot. | 23:53 |
| Stephen_ | any Java guru's out there for help? | 23:53 |
| stealth- | SOLIDUS: oh, you dont have to worry about that in linux. Everything will work as if it wasnt encrypted. | 23:53 |
| stealth- | Stephen_: you could try #java | 23:53 |
| S0LIDUS | stealth: Thanks! | 23:53 |
| stealth- | SOLIDUS: anytime ;) | 23:53 |
| kiki67100 | stealth-, um.. its strange maybe your gnome config | 23:54 |
| Stephen_ | Stealth... please elaborate I'm still fairly new to Ubuntu and a lil naive to some of this? | 23:54 |
| yowshi | well kind of worked and now it isnt | 23:54 |
| sylvanus_ | well I guess I'm S.O.L. huh? | 23:54 |
| packet-sent | EFS and syskey command make for a pretty seamless and strong encrypted windows box.well was when I used it | 23:54 |
| stealth- | Stephen_: are you trying to program in java, or get it working? | 23:54 |
| Stephen_ | yes | 23:54 |
| stealth- | kiki67100: how could I check that? | 23:54 |
| Stephen_ | where do I #java? | 23:54 |
| stealth- | Stephen_: that wasnt a yes or no question.... | 23:54 |
| stealth- | Stephen_: are you trying to program in java, or get it working? | 23:55 |
| Stephen_ | I misread.... it works... but with quarks | 23:55 |
| stealth- | Stephen_: what kind? | 23:55 |
| Stephen_ | it times out after about 45-60 minutes | 23:55 |
| stealth- | times out? as in, it doesnt load? | 23:55 |
| kiki67100 | stealth-, try to create a new user, and execute a software | 23:55 |
| stealth- | kiki67100: k | 23:56 |
| derspankster | anyone else having issues today with Pidgin not starting? | 23:56 |
| Stephen_ | Stealth, correct... i.e. I'm playing games that are Java enabled.... and after some length of time... it just freezes and boots me out of servers | 23:56 |
| kiki67100 | stealth-, or just do : sudo gedit | 23:56 |
| echonoob | what's a good newsreader for dl binaries? | 23:56 |
| echonoob | anyone? | 23:57 |
| stealth- | kiki67100: it works as a different user | 23:57 |
| stealth- | Stephen_: hmmmmmm..... I dont think I know enough about that stuff to help you past there. Sorry :( | 23:58 |
| SethLutz | When I boot up my computer, I get the dualboot thing, and I select Ubuntu and I get a comand prompt. | 23:58 |
| Stephen_ | Stealth: it's ok... noone seems to have an answer for it so far... my friend who turned me onto Ubuntu is a computer guru... and he's not really sure either | 23:58 |
| kiki67100 | stealth-, it working when you execute a software with a another user ? | 23:59 |
| stealth- | kiki67100: yes | 23:59 |
| yowshi | grrr i have horrific kuck with usb devfices | 23:59 |
| meho_r | echonoob: Pan? | 23:59 |
| echonoob | ok i'll try that then | 23:59 |
| kiki67100 | stealth-, there is maybe a problem in $HOME ( /home/username ) | 23:59 |
| stealth- | kiki67100: my .gnome directory has nothing that could be casuing it | 23:59 |
