| tiyowan_ | shadeslayer: Are you using Kubuntu? | 00:01 |
| loof | wrin: my only idea is to maybe recompile alsa from source | 00:01 |
| pyyter1977 | no | 00:01 |
| shadeslayer | tiyowan_: yes | 00:01 |
| pyyter1977 | haw i download__ | 00:02 |
| tiyowan_ | shadeslayer: okay, this is a known bug, but try this: sudo apt-get install python-gnome2, then try running usb creator again | 00:02 |
| Wrin | loof: Is ALSA running behind Pulse and OSS? | 00:02 |
| Wrin | loof: I never understood that | 00:02 |
| danbhfive | Wrin: pulse runs behind alsa and oss, and mixes them together | 00:02 |
| === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam | ||
| shadeslayer | tiyowan_: its installing.. | 00:03 |
| Wrin | danbhfive: Thanks | 00:03 |

| Demios | how do i setup auto login? | 00:03 |
| eax | Hi again, I'm still trying to set up my dual-monitor system in the NvidiaDriver. What I want to do is make the other screen the "main" screen (the LEFT one should be main) but I don't know how :S Can someone help? :) | 00:03 |
| shadeslayer | tiyowan_: is there no method (via CLI) to make a bootable USB drive , i have the ISO on the HD | 00:04 |
| Wrin | loof: If it were a problem with ALSA though wouldnt I have trouble with ALL of my audio? | 00:04 |
| tiyowan_ | shadeslayer: Well, there is, but I'd recommend you stick with this for the most reliable results. | 00:04 |
| danbhfive | Wrin: the idea is pulse has a plugin architecture, and you write plugins for each of the sound systems. Thus, all sound systems can be unified | 00:04 |
| Mogga | can anyone help with a kvm network interfaces question? have no clue when it comes to this biz... http://dpaste.com/58073/ | 00:04 |
| shadeslayer | tiyowan_: ok | 00:04 |
| Kalmi_ | shadeslayerm, imaging? | 00:04 |
| Wrin | loof: Oh cool | 00:04 |
| tiyowan_ | shadeslayer: Installing python-gnome2 should fix the usb creator in kubuntu | 00:04 |
| Mogga | please no linkslaps... been doing alot of reading | 00:04 |
| loof | pulse basically is better than alsa, it's just that alsa has sh1ttons of drivers that pulse doesn't. pulse basically allows you to manage audio streams in a much more human-useable manner, in that you can drag a stream to a different device and it doesn't cut out and stuff like that | 00:04 |
| shadeslayer | tiyowan_: ok | 00:05 |
| tiyowan_ | shadeslayer: Has it finished installing? | 00:05 |
| loof | wrin: there are bugs in specific alsa drivers, bugs in pulse, etc etc | 00:05 |

| houms | virtual bridge for guests | 00:05 |
| Wrin | pyyter1977: This is not a windows channel | 00:05 |
| Wrin | pyyter1977: Try #windows instead | 00:06 |
| shadeslayer | tiyowan_: could you point me to the bug report?? | 00:06 |
| loof | wrin: sometimes that results in weird little bugs like what you're seeing: take a look at the recent alsa changelog to see the volume of changes they make: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.19_v1.0.20 | 00:06 |

| houms | eax have you installed nvidia-settings | 00:07 |
| eax | houms: yep :) | 00:07 |
| tiyowan_ | ruler: A virtual machine is like another computer (emulated in software) running on a physical machine. | 00:07 |
| Mogga | ruler: 1 is mysql, 1 is Ice RPC, 1 is httpd, 1 is ldap... all a model for eventual physical server rollout | 00:07 |

| loof | hm | 00:11 |
| loof | that probably corrupts | 00:11 |
| loof | you should be able to replace that last bit with the e characters | 00:12 |
| loof | but yeah anyways change it to a us keyboard layout | 00:12 |
| ruler | kalmi: virtual box | 00:12 |
| loof | maybe you're using like a canadian-english or something layout? i dunno | 00:12 |
| Wrin | loof: It tells me under System->Preferences->Keyboard I have a generic 101 key PC and a USA International (with dead keys) layout | 00:12 |
| loof | dead keys? hmmm | 00:12 |
| loof | are there actually some dead keys? | 00:12 |

| shadeslayer | tiyowan: uh it says cant determine partition no. | 00:13 |
| Wrin | loof: Not that Ive noticed, thought the single quote seems pretty dead | 00:13 |
| loof | wrin: is it a brandname keyboard? | 00:13 |
| Vixon9 | do you think i will be able to get 3d with GTX 275? | 00:13 |

| shadeslayer | tiyowan: yes | 00:13 |

| eax | FiReSTaRT: Fair enough, thanks for the help though :) | 00:16 |
| tiyowan | shadearg: sorry, misline | 00:16 |
| Wrin | geirha: That was the default when I installed...I must have done something strange during the keyboard config. | 00:16 |
| FiReSTaRT | eax: no worries.. wish it actually did something :) good luck | 00:17 |
| loof | wrin: try changing it to like a dell laptop keyboard layout see if that fixes it, or try a generic keyboard, or try a few other of the dell ones. if that doesn't help, try the stuff here if the keyboard doesn't really work in say windows http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=794467 | 00:17 |

| br1 | For reasons of purity, I'm avoiding "<" and ">" in the shell, using only "|". I can replace "prog < file" with "cat file | prog" but I haven't found a way to replace "prog > file". tee almost works, but outputs to stdout in addition of the given file.

| geirha | MrKeuner: If you are logged in localy (graphically), and ssh in and run "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr", I believe it should have different output depending on whether it detects a connected monitor, but without a running Xserver, I don't know ... | 01:19 |
| segin | Demios: Maybe your ISP is doing is? | 01:19 |
| burntresistor | does this normally happen with k9copy | 01:19 |
| Demios | not my isp | 01:20 |
| segin | Demios: ISPs like to block ports | 01:20 |
| calmbola | how can i install ubuntu without an external disk drive - is there a way? | 01:20 |
| unop | quizme, sed -i ... | 01:20 |
| Demios | segin i chose custom ports | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | !install | calmbola | 01:20 |
| ubottu | calmbola: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| wiwar | how to install ubuntu from iso to hard drive without DVD and flash? I run x86 and wish to install x64 on separate partition | 01:20 |
| Demios | also wtf are iptables if you'll pardon my french | 01:20 |
| coleys | Demios: is* , and its a firewall. =o | 01:20 |
| Demios | yeah that is my router | 01:21 |
| Demios | and i have it forwarded | 01:21 |
| quizme | unop: thanks again | 01:21 |
| Demios | unless they have all my ports blocked | 01:21 |
| coleys | Demios: No. Iptables is a seperate firewall, for linux o.o | 01:21 |
| Demios | oh? | 01:21 |
| Demios | coleys: tell me more | 01:21 |
| nztal | anyone know if a command or package i can install that will tell me which specific ATI chipset my video card is using ? | 01:21 |
| wbc | !iptables | Demios | 01:21 |
| ubottu | Demios: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 01:21 |
| Demios | i need to disable it if that is the case | 01:21 |
| coleys | nztal: lspci |grep -i ati | 01:22 |
| Demios | i have a hardware firewall | 01:22 |
| nztal | thanks coleys :) | 01:22 |
| geirha | Demios: By default, it is completely open | 01:22 |
| quizme | unope: that worked. thanks | 01:22 |
| Demios | odd then, i'll have a look at it | 01:22 |

| churl | anyone familiar with how xorg works? | 01:24 |
| coleys | churl: Just ask your question =) | 01:24 |
| churl | xorg is taking up way too much resources when in use. Does anyone want to point me in a direction? | 01:24 |
| coleys | churl: whats your video card? And are you using the proprietary driver? | 01:24 |
| nztal | is it possible that lspci | grep -i ATI would report an incorrect card / chipset ? a different card is showing up then the one i have. i'm wondering, if perhaps, its a close enough match to call it something else possibly ? | 01:25 |
| baba-b00ie | can someone point me in the direction of hwc for ubuntu ? i had trouble finding it on the site | 01:25 |
| churl | coleys: I'm not sure. do you know what i can run to see what i'm using? | 01:25 |
| baba-b00ie | i have a hp laptop and wanted to make sure it it's a good to go | 01:25 |
| jefinc | I deleted /var/cache/apt/archives to try and fix a problem and made the problem worse, how can I replace this? :\ | 01:25 |
| fleabite | I loaded Xchat Gnome as an irc client. I'm a windows user used to mIRC. Is there a way to suppress join/part messages in xchat? | 01:26 |
| baba-b00ie | fleabite, i do believe there is an option to do that | 01:26 |
| coleys | churl: Do you know if it is specifically ati or nvidia? | 01:26 |
| nztal | fleabite, xchat the non gnome-xchat package has a support channel in #xchat | 01:27 |
| coleys | nztal: It should display your correct video card. =o | 01:27 |

| coleys | jerry_f: Use the livecd, and mount the partition. | 01:28 |
| jerry_f | ok ive got the live cd | 01:28 |
| krdyt | where the heck do i get it? i checked synaptic pack manager | 01:28 |
| nztal | coleys, ooh. oddly it isn't. i'm using the envyng-gtk package to get ATI drivers up and running, i choose not to use the restricted hardware driver manager to do that, perhaps if i had, it might show the correct card ? regardless, everything seems functional | 01:28 |

| coleys | churl: sudo lspci |grep -i nvidia && sudo lspci |grep -i ati | 01:29 |
| churl | coleys: thanks | 01:29 |
| coleys | churl: It should display which you have, and the model # (Only if you have ati or nvidia) | 01:30 |
| nztal | how do the ATI drivers which are bundled in the ubuntu restricted driver manager do, compared to the ones that are installable through the unsupported envyng-gtk ? i thought i'd ask that, before i do any testing to see if it would correctly ID my card | 01:31 |
| krdyt | sebsebseb, on the site it only lists verrsion 7.?? and 8.04, im on 8.20 snf sldo jsunty | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | krdyt: yes, but that version should work in 9.04 as well | 01:32 |
| churl | coleys: yeah, it looks like i have neither | 01:32 |
| churl | no output | 01:32 |
| coleys | churl: lspci |grep -i intel | 01:32 |

| churl | :) | 01:32 |
| geirha | coleys: It will never test for ati | 01:32 |
| coleys | geirha: Yeah we know =) | 01:32 |

| binskipy2u | hey guys, jaunty comes with ATI drivers 8.x but ait released 9.6 for jaunty.. a few questions.. anyone here using the new drivers and is there a good difference, performance wise?, and if so, its a .run file , how do you install a .run file on jaunty? | 01:33 |
| churl | coleys: there we go, intel | 01:33 |
| coleys | churl: Do you see anything that could possibly be an intel graphics card? | 01:33 |
| nztal | churl: lspci| grep -i VGA might work too, if your having trouble hunting down what you have | 01:33 |
| geirha | coleys: That is, it will only test if you have ati, if you have nvidia :) | 01:33 |
| calmbola | what's the latest lgs stable release of ubuntu ? | 01:33 |
| calmbola | 8.10? | 01:33 |
| coleys | geirha: What are you talking abouttt. | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | thedarkone: then lspci will tell you what y have and you can configure what is missing | 01:34 |
| thedarkone | i did | 01:34 |
| thedarkone | it some reason i have a alc888s | 01:34 |
| thedarkone | it sees a alc1200 | 01:34 |
| thomc | calmbola: you mean LTS? If so, 8.04, Hardy Heron. | 01:34 |
| geirha | coleys: The line you posted earlier: sudo lspci |grep -i nvidia && sudo lspci |grep -i ati | 01:35 |
| thedarkone | even if i tell it is a alc888s | 01:35 |
| DeCypher1 | CAnsome point me in the direction of a Detailed Installation of a Nividia Driver | 01:35 |
| thedarkone | it still installs a alc1200 | 01:35 |
| geirha | coleys: The one that greps for ati will run if and only if the first one has a match for nvidia | 01:35 |
| danbhfive | !nvidia | DeCypher1 | 01:35 |
| ubottu | DeCypher1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:35 |

| binskipy2u | anyone have any experience good or bad doing this? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | binskipy2u: i avoid ati and only buy nvidia | 01:37 |
| coleys | churl: So you have an ati driver? | 01:38 |
| binskipy2u | oh. | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | binskipy2u: so im no use to you | 01:38 |
| nztal | binskipy2u, here are some basic instructions on installing the ATI drivers. its written for 9.3 but i'm sure it applies to 9.6 should those be available as well http://blog.klauskiwi.com/archives/24 | 01:38 |
| churl | coleys: i got another similar output when i $lspci |grep -i ati | 01:39 |

| binskipy2u | thank you | 01:39 |

| wahnfrieden_ | i fucked up my hal config file when i tried to set some custom mouse settings. how can i restore it to the previous (default for jaunty) state? thanks | 01:53 |
| wahnfrieden_ | my mouse is all wonky now | 01:53 |

| === stevie is now known as vorian | ||
| wahnfrieden_ | I didnt make a backup :-) | 01:54 |
| S0LIDUS | Can anyone tell me is it worth upgrading my hardy server to jaunty? | 01:54 |
| wahnfrieden_ | maybe one was made automatically | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | S0LIDUS: no the LTS's are recommended for servers | 01:54 |
| S0LIDUS | sebsebseb: Thank you for the quick response! | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | S0LIDUS: np | 01:55 |
| geirha | S0LIDUS: Stick with the LTS until the next LTS is released, then upgrade to that | 01:55 |
| S0LIDUS | geirha: Thanks will remember that! | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | geirha: well hardy will still have quite a bit of suppourt left on the server | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | servers 5 years of suppourt | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | !lts | 01:56 |
| 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) | 01:56 |
| geirha | sebsebseb: Yeah, but you have to upgrade at one point or another | 01:57 |
| buttons840 | I've run configure, make, and make install on linphone (source: http://www.linphone.org/index.php/eng/download) but I can't figure out how to run the program. It placed many files in /usr/bin/install/ is there perhaps something futher i need to do to finish the install? | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | geirha: well yeah if want security updates still | 01:57 |
| jefinc | geirha: well this seems to have sparked a new problem, but it seems like progress atleast, the packages install but do not configure, error is; /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postinst: line 144: /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf: No such file or directory | 01:57 |

| Melio | getxsick: no sweat | 01:58 |
| boss_mc | wahnfrieden: what changes did you make? | 01:59 |
| Melio | I havent used MC for like 15 years | 01:59 |
| wahnfrieden_ | boss_mc, some kind of new mouse setting for changing the velocity and limiting some threshold | 01:59 |
| wahnfrieden_ | i dont recall exactly | 01:59 |
| boss_mc | wahnfrieden: in which file? (did you follow a tutorial?) | 01:59 |
| wahnfrieden_ | but now when i move the trackpad quickly, the mouse almost stops moving | 02:00 |
| wahnfrieden_ | yes some tutorial :( because the usb mouse I had was too high resolution for even the lowest mouse speed settings in ubuntu | 02:00 |
| boss_mc | buttons840: why not use the one in the repositories? | 02:00 |
| boss_mc | !info linphone | buttons840 | 02:00 |

| boss_mc | wahnfrieden: well, good luck, I'm off to bed | 02:02 |
| wahnfrieden_ | thanks | 02:02 |
| mattygabe | hello everyone | 02:02 |
| buttons840 | boss_mc, I suffer from the fallowing bug when using linphone in the repos https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linphone/+bug/352339 | 02:02 |
| wahnfrieden_ | it's irritating that the lowest mouse speed with xset is still waaay too high | 02:02 |
| wahnfrieden_ | ubuntu seems to have much worse mouse acceleration algorithms than windows or os x | 02:02 |
| geirha | jefinc: Hm. Don't know why it expects to find that file... Try purging it again, then run "aptitude search ^mysql" Does it show any lines starting with a c? | 02:02 |
| buttons840 | boss_mc, stack smashing | 02:02 |
| mattygabe | before I ask a specific question, can anyone point me to a Jaunty (9.04) bootup troubleshooting page or messageboard? | 02:03 |
| mattygabe | I attempted to google my problem a couple times but I always get a slightly different problem, one that is related to something else. I think mine is related to X | 02:03 |
| geirha | jefinc: Or this one might be better: aptitude search '~c mysql' | 02:03 |
| getxsick | Melio: anyway it's still doesn't work. but i will figure out :) | 02:04 |
| boss_mc | buttons840: fair enough, sorry I can't help | 02:04 |

| jhjhjh | top | 02:05 |
| mattygabe | top? | 02:05 |
| Melio | gerardagda: top will output all your resources on a command line | 02:05 |
| mattygabe | that'll show you a "task manager"-esque command line equivalent of everyhthing running | 02:05 |
| Melio | gerardagda: you can add a system monitor to your gnome panel also | 02:05 |
| mattygabe | then hit q to quit | 02:05 |

| Melio | gerardagda: if you double click the system monitor, it'll show you a gui represetnation of various resources being used | 02:06 |
| jefinc | geirha: yes, which to me makes no sense, but makes perfect sense as to why it hangs, cannot start something that doesn't exist... | 02:06 |
| wahnfrieden_ | it looks like theres nothing in /etc/hal/fdi anymore except some minimal default junk | 02:06 |
| wahnfrieden_ | i dont know what happened to the settings i made, though theyre still in effect | 02:06 |
| buttons840 | boss_mc, when i type command in the terminal, it searching in the /usr/bin file for the programs right? so if i run "nano" it will run the "nano" program in /usr/bin ? what other locations does it look to? i'm asking because i hope to find the linphone command located in these directories | 02:07 |
| mattygabe | upon a cold boot, if I do not hit ESC before grub begins (to display an option of which kernel to choose), the Ubuntu loading screen comes up, and then it flashes a couple times (as it usually does) but then stays at a black screen, with NO mouse | 02:07 |
| matrixblue | CD burning in k3b and brasero always fail yet DVD burning works fine. Any ideas? | 02:07 |
| ghindo | gerardagda, Press "q" to terminate top. You could also use "System Monitor" to check things out | 02:07 |

| boss_mc | mattygabe: make sure your default file is valid and is picking a working kernel (or the default option in menu.lst if you're not using savedefaults) | 02:09 |
| jefinc | geirha: ok, we're all purged, aptitude search '~c mysql' shows 3 entires, client library, client binaries, server binaries | 02:09 |
| mattygabe | what dir is my "default file" in, and im assuming I can use a text editor with admin rights to check it, correct? | 02:09 |
| _CommandeR_ | How do you save settings to the xorg.conf when running Ubuntu from USB ? | 02:09 |
| gerardagda | ghindo, thanks | 02:09 |
| ghindo | gerardagda, No problem, let us know if you have any more questions | 02:10 |
| geirha | jefinc: Didn't you just purge the server binaries? | 02:10 |
| jefinc | yes :\ | 02:11 |
| nztal | anyone know how to restrict the use of the stumbleupon service, in ubuntu, to only be able to access it during certain hours? | 02:11 |
| koshari | _CommandeR_ with persistance? | 02:11 |
| _CommandeR_ | koshari: what do you mean _ | 02:11 |
| geirha | jefinc: There's mysql-server and mysql-server-5.0, did you purge both of those? | 02:11 |
| jefinc | geirha: when I try to remove the 3 packages that were displayed it tells me that they are not installed | 02:12 |
| jefinc | geirha: mysql-server usually takes 5.0 with it, but not always so I've done both | 02:12 |
| geirha | jefinc: The c stands for "configured", which means its uninstalled, but not purged | 02:12 |
| _CommandeR_ | koshari: The thing is that i want the xorg.conf have my nvidia-settings. but everytime i restart it gets replaced by a new xorg.conf file and renamed to xorg.conf+date | 02:12 |
| jefinc | geirha: I will try installing and purging again to see what happens, but I know I typed purge instead of remove :\ | 02:13 |
| geirha | jefinc: Try purging the one marked with a c again. Does it do anything or just say its allready purged? | 02:13 |
| jefinc | geirha: says 'cannot purge, package not installed' | 02:14 |
| geirha | jefinc: That doesn't make any sense :/ | 02:14 |
| mattygabe | boss_mc: where's my default file, or how do I know if Im using savedefault? | 02:14 |
| jefinc | geirha: a second attempt at installing/purging has removed them completely this time | 02:15 |
| geirha | jefinc: Ah, excellent. Check if you have /var/lib/mysql/ or /etc/mysql/ | 02:16 |
| jefinc | geirha: yes both of those directories still exist | 02:17 |
| geirha | jefinc: Come to think about it, /etc/mysql is most likely there since the client binaries are still configured | 02:17 |
| _CommandeR_ | How do you save settings to the xorg.conf when running Ubuntu from USB ? | 02:17 |
| jefinc | geirha: I reinstalled and purged the client binaries as well | 02:18 |
| geirha | jefinc: Move away those two directories then, and see if that makes it install properly | 02:18 |
| jefinc | geirha: still receive the same error, it is looking for old_passwords.cnf | 02:19 |
| zaccour | how do i give root access to another user? | 02:19 |
| mattygabe | my boot: BIOS post is fine. GRUB boot delay, then grub hands off to Ubuntu. Ubuntu loading screen, bar loads. Screen flashes, then I go to a pseudo-black screen, where my monitor is still on because the computer is sending it a compeltely black screen | 02:20 |
| zaccour | how do i give root access to another user? | 02:21 |
| spyder | zaccour: sudo | 02:21 |
| mattygabe | if I select a kernel, even the "default" one, it will boot normally | 02:21 |
| zaccour | spyder, sudo what | 02:21 |
| geirha | jefinc: :/ I think this would be considered a bug with the package, so I think a bugreport on launchpad is due. | 02:21 |
| nztal | anyone know how to restrict the use of the stumbleupon service, in ubuntu, to only be able to access it during certain hours? | 02:22 |
| spyder | zaccour: give them sudo access | 02:22 |
| zaccour | spyder, how do i do that? | 02:22 |
| spyder | zaccour: install sudo, edit /etc/sudoers | 02:22 |
| _CommandeR_ | How do you save settings to the xorg.conf when running Ubuntu from USB ? | 02:22 |
| spyder | zaccour: add their name to it | 02:22 |

| dansku | what it would be then/ | 02:26 |
| Zapper | anyone happen to know how to find out my root password? | 02:26 |
| mattygabe | chasemercurio: shouldnt you be looking more on wireless phone rooms and such? | 02:26 |
| bucky | login: Zapper | 02:27 |
| bucky | password: | 02:27 |
| Zapper | for my linux? | 02:27 |
| gartral_ | dansku: as far as I can tell, 1.0 load means your system is doing the optimal amount of proccessing for your system, but even that doesnt seem right | 02:27 |
| Zapper | im typing su in terminal and it prompts for a password | 02:27 |
| Zapper | but my pass doesnt workk | 02:28 |
| bucky | sudo -s | 02:28 |
| dansku | Zapper: have you add a pass for root before? | 02:28 |
| arand | !root | Zapper | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Zapper: 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 | 02:28 |
| bucky | password: <zapper's password> | 02:28 |
| Zapper | i dont think i set a pass and i tried leavin it blank | 02:28 |
| dansku | Zapper: if you are on gnome, go to the user admin interface and add a pass for root | 02:29 |
| spyder | why would you not have a root password, are you retarded? | 02:29 |
| Zapper | never got prombted to make one | 02:29 |
| arand | Zapper: So what do you use for logging in? | 02:29 |
| mattygabe | hahaha | 02:29 |
| geirha | !noroot | dansku | 02:29 |
| ubottu | dansku: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 02:29 |

| zaccour | how do i give root access to another user? | 02:30 |
| coleys | zaccour: Wheel group... | 02:31 |
| geirha | zaccour: Add the user to the admin group | 02:31 |
| zaccour | coleys, huh? | 02:31 |
| mattygabe | i have a question... besides the goodness of your hearts, why do you guys come in here to help others with their n00b problems? | 02:31 |
| mattygabe | its gotta be for the babes... | 02:31 |
| zaccour | geirha, how do i do that? | 02:31 |
| arand | Create the user and tick "allow admin", this will add it to sudoers as far as I know... | 02:31 |
| coleys | zaccour: gksu gedit /etc/sudoers (add yourself to either no password, or password) | 02:31 |
| Alex_K | mattygabe: The whole point of ubuntu is community. | 02:31 |
| zaccour | coleys, sodoers? is that where a name goes? | 02:32 |
| mocca | i need help with an acpi issue, anyone know much about it? | 02:32 |
| mocca | I'm using intrepid | 02:32 |
| jefinc | mattygabe: because what goes around comes around | 02:32 |
| arand | mattygabe: You get help, you help others, and feel good when someone gets helped and pours thanks ;) | 02:32 |
| mattygabe | well enough! | 02:33 |
| geirha | zaccour: System -> Administration -> Users and groups. Click the unlock button and input your password. Select the user in question, and click properties, then on the second tab, you can give the user administrative rights | 02:33 |
| CASE_30 | When I apt-get it says 404 file not found | 02:33 |

| _CommandeR_ | How do you save settings to the xorg.conf when running Ubuntu from USB ? | 02:33 |
| CASE_30 | Could anyone helkp me out | 02:33 |
| geirha | jefinc: How?! | 02:33 |
| Alex_K | CASE_30: Have you tried sudo apt-get update? | 02:34 |
| CASE_30 | IT says the same thing | 02:34 |
| mattygabe | here's a question for you... would have installing startupmanager on my ubuntu box that could not boot normally by itself have solved any problems I had with my booting problem I described earlier? | 02:34 |
| jefinc | geirha: had to bojangle it, but it's working 100% now, I installed mysql on my laptop and recreated the old_passwords.cnf from it onto my desktop | 02:34 |
| CASE_30 | It lists the ip and file not found, AM I connecting to the wring server? | 02:34 |
| phate | are the gutsy repositorys down? | 02:35 |
| mattygabe | I tried looking at my default file, and my menu.lst, and I couldn't make any sense of it, then read an ubuntu faq that said to install startupmanager, so I did, and then I changed a few minor details i wanted (like display text during boot) and now it boots as it should, normally | 02:35 |
| gartral_ | theres a translation error for the motd man page | 02:35 |
| mocca | my laptop battery was loose so I took it off and put it back on, now it won't charge above 11%, when typed acpi -V in terminal, it said that it was full at 11% | 02:35 |
| mattygabe | does that make sense? should my problem have subsided already? | 02:35 |
| coleys | mattygabe: What are you trying to ask? | 02:35 |
| Xcell | phate- yes.. no longer supported | 02:36 |
| Alex_K | CASE_30: Well, sudo apt-get is linked to their repositories... Only thing I can wonder is if the repositories are down? I'm not in ubuntu or I'd try it and see. Sorry I can't think of any other options | 02:36 |
| ythe1300 | Has anyone seen any issues with ubuntu 9.04 and the acer aspire one wireless? | 02:36 |
| mattygabe | I just want to make sure that seems logical enough that simply installing a program (startupmanager) would have solved any boot problems i may have had | 02:36 |
| geirha | jefinc: Clever thinking! Though it really shouldn't be that cumbersome. | 02:36 |
| gartral_ | mocca: that is a hardware problem, but try gently blowing on the contacts, and please say you had the good sense to shut your machine down before you took the battery out.. | 02:36 |
| jefinc | geirha: no definitely shouldn't have to be that way, but sometimes whatever works ;) bed time for me, thanks for the help <3 | 02:36 |
| coleys | mattygabe: I highly doubt it, but alot of problems can be solved easily. Without the need of a gui application. | 02:37 |
| mocca | gartral, of coarse I did! I'm A+ certified | 02:37 |
| mocca | I know how to take good care of hardware | 02:37 |
| mocca | I'm new to linux though | 02:37 |
| mocca | since it wouldn't charge above 11%, I booted into bios and see if it would charge there | 02:37 |
| mattygabe | coleys: ok, thanks. i was just expecting some more painful route, one that involved editing the default file, or re-installing or re-configuring grub, or etcetera etcetera. | 02:37 |
| mocca | I think it did | 02:38 |
| gartral_ | mocca: ok then, its either dusty or damnaged contacts, i know neither laptop of mine has a working battery now... | 02:38 |
| mocca | it gave me better battery time | 02:38 |
| mocca | but then I go into ubuntu | 02:38 |
| mocca | and now it's showing...... | 02:38 |
| coleys | mattygabe: No worries. | 02:38 |
| mattygabe | is there or are there any more specific IRC channels that anyone knows of that I could get specific help in trying to install a tuner card in Jaunty? | 02:38 |
| arand | mattygabe: So before you had to give grub some input (even a simple enter for default option would do), and then you installed startupmanager, and now it works without any input? | 02:38 |
| mattygabe | yes. | 02:38 |
| mocca | Battery 0: unknown, 0% | 02:38 |
| geirha | jefinc: Good night then. Don't let the dpkg bugs bite | 02:39 |
| CASE_30 | I I think its the servers | 02:39 |
| mocca | I think it's not communicating with the battery | 02:39 |
| mocca | any way I can reset acpi? | 02:39 |
| mattygabe | I ran startupmanager and changed simple options, such as displaying text during boot (didn't change the kernel that was selected, nothing major like that), and then it took some time to (I suppose) save my choices. Perhaps it overwrote whatever default file I had and saved a valid one? | 02:39 |
| gartral_ | mocca /etc/init.d/acpi restart? | 02:40 |
| arand | mattygabe: Ok, then my guess is that startupmanager has modified/reconfigured grub in some way to eliminate the problem (yes, as you just said), that is my guess. | 02:40 |
| _CommandeR_ | How do you save settings to the xorg.conf when running Ubuntu from USB ? | 02:40 |
| mocca | I'll try that, thanks gartral! :) | 02:40 |
| mattygabe | arand: thank you, let's hope that's what happened. | 02:40 |
| gartral_ | i shall return.. | 02:41 |
| chilli0 | hello , im having wine issues , do i ask here or in wine channel? | 02:41 |
| mocca | restarted acpi successfully, getting the same responses when using acpi -V | 02:42 |
| arand | chilli0: wine channel is usually better, at least if the problem is non-trivial, but throwing it out here doesn't hurt, lot of folks, maybe someone knows. | 02:43 |

| socomm | I've tried re-installing, however this did not solve the problem. | 02:45 |
| Crayboff | koshari: umm i might be failing, the only dates i see is Accessed and Modified | 02:45 |
| socomm | Crayboff, try listing the file in the command line, or right click to view its properties. | 02:45 |

| koshari | Crayboff if you modify it its a new file by definition | 02:45 |
| crdlb | Crayboff: unix doesn't provide creation time, only modification time (and sometimes access time) | 02:46 |

| jcp | I have a cables-to-go jetlan ethernet print server hooked up an hp laserjet 1200. I did some google searching and found out that particular print server uses IPP to commuicate. But I have no real knowledge of how that works, and I keep getting told that the print share is not accessible. What does this mean? | 02:47 |
| crdlb | zopiac: gtk-window-decorator --replace | 02:47 |

| phate | and they havent released any since | 02:49 |

| zopiac | crdlb: wait, didnt work | 02:49 |
| phate | coleys: yes | 02:49 |
| zopiac | crdlb: do i have to sudo it? | 02:49 |
| phate | coleys: eeexubuntu | 02:49 |
| _CommandeR_ | geirha: I saved my xorg.conf with nvidia settings, then restarted and now it renamed that xorg.conf to xorg.conf2009.... and replaced with a new one | 02:49 |

| zopiac | phate: different from easy peasy? or does that not use xfce? | 02:50 |
| zopiac | crdlb: well it didnt work, anyhow :\ | 02:50 |
| crdlb | zopiac: does emerald work? | 02:50 |
| Xcell | phate- you could try this..i have not: http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/12/download-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-dvd-repository.html | 02:50 |
| zopiac | crdlb: yes, but a program wouldnt work with it | 02:51 |
| coleys | zopiac: do Alt +f2 --> metacity --replace | 02:51 |
| crdlb | oh, you mean compiz, not emerald | 02:51 |
| zopiac | coleys: for some reason alt+f2 isnt working | 02:51 |
| zopiac | crdlb: perhaps | 02:51 |
| phate | coleys: they apparently have a jaunty version, but only chineese is supported | 02:51 |
| crdlb | zopiac: just go to system > preferences > appearance > visual effects | 02:51 |
| zopiac | crdlb: yeah, i killed that too, just forgot :P | 02:51 |
| coleys | phate: Im sure you could install localization files for any language you can think of. | 02:51 |
| geirha | _CommandeR_: Oh, I see. I wasn't aware it did that. It's probably a script in /etc/init.d/ that does it. Maybe try grepping those files for xorg.conf and see if you can find it ... | 02:52 |
| phate | xcell: i would... but im running an eeepc with 4gig SSD... cant handle 5-4gig dvds worth of info | 02:52 |

| phate | coleys: i need a distro that is under or around 2gigs... and all i really need is openoffice | 03:03 |
| oxeimon | buttons840: what do I do with the keys in that file? | 03:03 |
| oxeimon | buttons840: I'm assuming you mean the file ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 03:03 |
| YesImaLinuxN00B | phate: try dsl | 03:03 |
| Mr_Wellichen | Ok, I give up! | 03:04 |
| wbc | Which one is best: KompoZer, NVU or BlueFish? | 03:04 |
| YesImaLinuxN00B | phate: i have run it from a 1 gig flash drive with room to spare | 03:04 |
| buttons840 | oxeimon, you can delete the known_hosts file, and then start over, basically, if you attempt to ssh to a computer that doesn't match the "known hosts" it alerts you because you could be connecting to a impersonating computer | 03:04 |
| buttons840 | oxeimon, i havn't got into it to much, so for me i always just delete (or backup if you want, change the file name) the known_hosts, and it works. there are more advance security features that require special keys and such, but i don't know much about this | 03:05 |

| oxeimon | buttons840: ok I removed the known_hosts in ~/.ssh/ I'm getting the same message | 03:06 |
| YesImaLinuxN00B | coleys: all i need to know is how to make my wireless network be used before the wired network | 03:07 |
| oxeimon | buttons840: ok I removed the version in /root/.ssh/, and it seemed to work | 03:08 |
| Severity1 | so you have LAN and WLAN | 03:08 |

| mashedpgravy | i think you have to have root access to get root access | 03:32 |
| mashedpgravy | otherwise what would be the point of root | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: the user needs to be in a specific group to be allowed to do 'sudo' things.. or you can set up the sudoers file to allow differnet users/groups differnt ranges of admin type rights | 03:32 |

| dtownhero | Mean_Admin, smb.conf shows the shares listed | 03:52 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: firewall down ? | 03:52 |
| dtownhero | Mean_Admin, the end goal is to have the share open w/o password on my network, however, every other box on my network is ubuntu | 03:52 |
| wbc | When I mouse over "Show/hide" under "View" in KompoZer, it crashes. Anyone else have had that problem here? | 03:52 |
| kharn | binskipy2u: wasn't having a go ... it was more a retorical statement .. I don't think its important to worry about LTS unless you really wanna keep the one installation forever ... i found that everything "just worked" with jaunty .. whereas found 8.04 had a few ... issues!? :) .. | 03:52 |
| Techbard | is crond not automatically running on Ubuntu 9.04? | 03:52 |
| dtownhero | Mean_Admin, no firewall on that box | 03:52 |

| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: I'm far from an expert but post your smb.conf maybe ? in pastebin | 03:54 |
| dtownhero | I purged it | 03:54 |
| dtownhero | ok, I think it is a local problem | 03:55 |

| buttons840 | anyone aware of a softphone with unlimited apperances (lines), basically it would never be busy, you could have 10 conversations going and people could still reach you | 04:03 |
| Thorsten11 | Hold the flames eveyone, but is 9.10 going to be LTS? | 04:04 |
| lwizardl | buttons840, sounds like you need an Asterisk PBX | 04:04 |
| Severity1 | you need super high concentration and patience to keep up with that kind of softphone | 04:04 |
| Techbard | where is the cron log file? | 04:04 |
| buttons840 | lwizardl, actually, i'm looking for a softphone to test asterisk with, i have only 1 test computer and i need to generate and maintaind as many outbound calls as possible to the test system to test the load | 04:05 |
| gabe | how do I log in as root in the terminal? I don't even remember setting up a root password during installation | 04:05 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: sorry, I'm having trouble through all the commented stuff :S | 04:05 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: sanity check: the character ; is a commenter, much like # right ? | 04:06 |
| Severity1 | check these locations /usr/sbin/cron /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.monthly /usr/share/man/man8/cron.8.gz | 04:06 |
| unitheory | gabe, the root password is the same one you set during installation | 04:06 |
| Severity1 | or probably in var/logs | 04:06 |
| lwizardl | buttons840, oh ok not sure on that then. I just know you can basically have unlimited phones in the pbx as long as you have the hardware and proper voip service accounts | 04:06 |
| unitheory | gabe, switch to root user with the command: sudo su | 04:07 |
| oh_noes | Anyone know how to remove a USB Device at the command line? Its a USB modem and I've removed it's driver but it still has power. I was hoping to be "simulate" pullling it out and plugging it back in | 04:07 |
| gabe | thank you, I was only entering su | 04:07 |
| Severity1 | buttons maybe try installing a virtualbox then make a minimal virtualmachine | 04:07 |
| sterilegenie | run 10 instances of the softphone, that way you can assign each tier own extention | 04:07 |
| JasonosaJ | oh_noes, you can use umount | 04:07 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: but, is there a reason you use security = share ? | 04:08 |
| buttons840 | oh_noes, i don't believe you can cut the power using software | 04:08 |
| Severity1 | say make 5 minimal virtual machines have them bridge to your pyhsical NIC and connect to your asterix server | 04:08 |
| unitheory | JasonosaJ, for a modem? | 04:08 |
| buttons840 | it's part of the usb standard i believe to always have a current flowing through the usb port, so long as the power is active | 04:08 |

| unitheory | Datz, you can try: sudo aptitude reinstall packagename | 04:10 |
| Severity1 | it would take time to setup but it would help you emulate a testing environment | 04:10 |
| dtownhero | Mean_Admin, Yes, ; is the new # apparently | 04:10 |

| Shervin | Gitykins: What should I change? | 04:29 |
| dtownhero | I think I need to chmod that directory | 04:29 |
| Shervin | usually ubuntu would come up as a GUI now it doesnt | 04:30 |
| bryan_ | how do i run a program from terminal | 04:30 |
| Shervin | i type in startx and it doesnt work | 04:30 |
| dtownhero | Shervin, type the program name | 04:30 |
| Shervin | gparted? | 04:30 |
| flavio | kharn: If I remove network-manager, the machine will be able to get an IP (from dhcp server) when I turn it on ? | 04:30 |
| dtownhero | Shervin, do sudo gparted | 04:30 |
| unitheory | flavio, yea want to specify a nameserver? | 04:30 |
| unitheory | you | 04:30 |
| flavio | unitheory: yes | 04:30 |

| Shervin | dtownhero: same thing "cannot open display" | 04:31 |
| bryan_ | i am trying to run boxee from termianl. how do i do that? | 04:31 |
| unitheory | flavio, echo "prepend domain-name-servers x.x.x.x;" >> /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 04:31 |
| dtownhero | Shervin, gparted must run as root, therefore sudo gparted | 04:31 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: yeah try it on a 777 dir | 04:31 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: and obviously write down errors | 04:31 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: I gotta go :( | 04:31 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: good luck though | 04:31 |
| unitheory | flavio, put your nameserver in for x.x.x.x | 04:31 |
| floyd_ | Hello folks | 04:31 |
| Mean_Admin | dtownhero: at least you know you're the only afflicted | 04:32 |
| floyd_ | I just switched to ubuntu so ... I have a question | 04:32 |
| Shervin | dtownhero: I'm on the LiveCD and it says that it cannot be displayed with sudo gparted | 04:32 |
| flavio | unitheory: I will try it now... | 04:32 |
| kharn | flavio: soz dude .. i have never actually just disabled it .. always removed it .. and yeh .. follow what unitheory is saying to make it go auto at startup | 04:32 |
| flavio | kharn: ok. trying... | 04:32 |
| floyd_ | whenever I turn down ubuntu, screen goes really white and then it fades out to black | 04:32 |
| Zerachiel | A question. When installing Ubuntu side-by-side with Windows Vista, will it possibly make me unable to run Vista? | 04:32 |
| floyd_ | and never seems to actually shut-down | 04:32 |
| dtownhero | Shervin, oh I am not sure how to use gparted w/ the live cd... what are you trying to do? | 04:33 |
| ARMENIAN | is a new version of skype available, I can only get version 2.0 from skype site? | 04:33 |
| Shervin | trying to make some partition changes | 04:33 |
| floyd_ | it's kinda messed up here | 04:33 |
| dtownhero | Is Windows your main install Shervin ? | 04:34 |
| Shervin | yeah vista for now | 04:34 |
| unitheory | Datz, you can't remove transmission with sudo aptitude purge transmission? | 04:34 |
| dtownhero | Vista Premium? | 04:34 |
| Shervin | home premium | 04:34 |
| Shervin | yea | 04:34 |
| Jacksito23 | Is there some place to thank the people out here for helping me out? | 04:34 |
| unitheory | Zerachiel, it is unlikely but possible. | 04:34 |
| flavio | unitheory, kharn: need to reboot to test. I'll come back to tell what happened. thank you. | 04:34 |
| Zerachiel | Alright, thanks. | 04:34 |
| linuxguy2009 | guys when I use manpages and i get to the end of the pages, is there something Im suposed to press other than ctrl+c to get back to the prompt? | 04:35 |
| bryan_ | i do i run firefox from terminal? | 04:35 |
| Zerachiel | I love Ubuntu that way. Just so much more useful than Windows at times. | 04:35 |
| bryan_ | how do i run firefox from terminal? | 04:35 |
| unitheory | linuxguy2009, q | 04:35 |
| linuxguy2009 | ah thanks hehe | 04:35 |
| Shervin | ahhh... :( | 04:35 |
| moltof | Can someone help me with no sound problem? | 04:35 |
| ARMENIAN | is a new version of skype available, I can only get version 2.0 from skype site? | 04:35 |
| kharn | flav | 04:35 |
| unitheory | bryan_, umm: firefox | 04:35 |
| Shervin | are there any non-gui partition editors on the livecd | 04:36 |
| Zerachiel | Yeah, just type in Firefox I believe. | 04:36 |
| kharn | flavio: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 04:36 |
| unitheory | Shervin, is parted on there? | 04:36 |
| Shervin | yeah but it doesnt owrk for me because my screen isn't detected | 04:36 |
| Zerachiel | Oh. Well, that's a problem. | 04:36 |
| Shervin | oh parted. | 04:36 |
| dtownhero | Shervin, you know there is a tool within vista premium for partition changes | 04:36 |
| Zerachiel | Are you running your screen through a video card? | 04:36 |
| bryan_ | unitheory: i have another program i am trying to use :boxee, and it wont run when i type "boxee" | 04:36 |
| Zerachiel | Or direct to motherboard? | 04:36 |
| Shervin | zerachiel i think its from motherboard | 04:37 |
| unitheory | bryan_, well you just need to figure out what the executable is called | 04:37 |
| Zerachiel | Alright, so it is most likely a direct VGA connection. | 04:37 |
| Zerachiel | I don't see why your screen wouldn't be detected though. The only time that would happen would be due to driver errors with Video Cards. | 04:38 |
| unitheory | Zerachiel, it is useful if you specify to whom you are typing ;] | 04:38 |
| here4thegear | I've been trying to set up a dev environment, using vmware. Running ubuntu server in vmware on windows vista.

| moltof | Can someone help me fix no sound? | 04:41 |
| billybigrigger | cappicard::: google is your friend | 04:41 |
| billybigrigger | linuxguy2009::: it will be hidden | 04:41 |
| === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq | ||
| billybigrigger | linuxguy2009::: if your using nautilus to find it, press ctrl-h to view the hidden files | 04:41 |
| linuxguy2009 | yeah I see all the other .config etc files | 04:41 |
| mondayrocks | So. I'm reading this: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/share-files-between-2-ubuntu-computers/ and I want to SSH into another computer on the internal network. It's telling me that the connection is refused. Any advice? | 04:41 |
| unitheory | bryan_, have a look at the installed files for that package in synaptic. the one you want is probably in /usr/bin | 04:41 |
| linuxguy2009 | i did the ctrl+h dont see it, im in 9.04 | 04:42 |
| tyler_d1 | so once I have installed lm-sensor and ran sensors-detect, I get dme1737 returned... what do I do with this? | 04:42 |
| mondayrocks | Remote desktop viewer works but I can' | 04:42 |
| Zerachiel | Cappicard: Give me a second. I'll try to find a good price for you. | 04:42 |
| mondayrocks | get SSH to work. | 04:42 |
| cappicard | ok. i want to make sure it will work with that laptop. | 04:42 |
| unitheory | linuxguy2009, the command i gave you deleted the file | 04:43 |
| Zerachiel | Alright. I'll do what I can to find you one. | 04:43 |
| cappicard | i see 80GB seagate momentus 5400.2 drives | 04:43 |
| kharn | flavio: how'd ya go ??? btw u could have done "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" instead of full reboot ... | 04:43 |
| Datz | unitheory: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.16.3) were not met. Does ubuntu have this package in the repository? | 04:43 |
| tyler_d1 | mondayrocks: try telnet "ipaddyofserver" 22 | 04:43 |
| flavio | unitheory: hi. thank you for the "prepend" command. | 04:43 |
| unitheory | Datz, probably... | 04:43 |
| ARMENIAN | is a new version of skype available, I can only get version 2.0 from skype site? | 04:43 |
| Zerachiel | cappicard: Are you in CA or US? (So I can make sure what site to find it from) | 04:43 |
| flavio | kharn: rebooted already... :) | 04:43 |
| cappicard | US | 04:43 |
| Zerachiel | Okay. | 04:43 |
| Shervin | unitheory: im on parted right now how do i make a 50gb ntfs for OS, 30gb partition for secondary OS, and the rest for Data | 04:43 |
| tyler_d1 | mondayrocks: this, assuming you have installed all ssh dependencies.... | 04:43 |
| linuxguy2009 | unitheory: I just ran your command and it didnt work. The file is not there to remove. | 04:44 |
| Datz | unitheory: If so, its not under "libcurl" :p | 04:44 |
| alazyworkaholic1 | my system is not able to create a directory in /tmp. I found out that I have to e2fsck the /tmp directory to fix that. What's the command to do that correctly? "sudo e2fsck /tmp" or more complicated than that? | 04:44 |
| flavio | unitheory: but, can I change the 'search' option too? because without changing it I can resolv only fully qualified domain names... | 04:44 |
| Datz | unitheory: I guess I will wait until ubuntu updates the package | 04:45 |
| unitheory | Datz, libcurl3 | 04:45 |
| Datz | thanks | 04:45 |
| mondayrocks | Yea. I've got all the dependencies. SSH works, I'm sure it's something I'm not doing right. I just don't have any good ideas how to get around it. I thought that maybe the router wasn't letting me do it, but like I said remote desketop viewer works and I'm using the internal IP. | 04:45 |
| unitheory | Shervin, i have no idea ;] try google or the man page | 04:45 |
| Datz | unitheory: newest version. oh well | 04:45 |
| unitheory | Datz, you may need libcurl3-gnutls-dev | 04:46 |
| Datz | ok | 04:46 |
| Severity1 | mondayrocks, maybe theres a dependency issue? | 04:47 |
| Severity1 | try installing build-essentials | 04:47 |
| unitheory | linuxguy2009, well that is where bash history is stored. | 04:47 |
| bobo | hey for some reason i cant start rhythmbox and screenlets and i get an error that some module named pygtk isn't present | 04:47 |
| Datz | unitheory: Package libcurl3-gnutls-dev has no installation candidate | 04:47 |
| mondayrocks | severity1, all right. | 04:47 |
| Zerachiel | cappicard: The cheapest I can find you is 120GiB 2.5" for $39.99 before shipping/handling. | 04:47 |

| here4thegear | any thoughts on my issue? as follows? As a note, I can go to the ip address in my browser and get the right content. | 04:47 |
| here4thegear | I've been trying to set up a dev environment, using vmware. Running ubuntu server in vmware on windows vista. I used to have the name myubuntu, so, if I type myubuntu in a browser the site I am working on would come up.

| linuxguy2009 | unitheory: Are you on 9.04 and do you have that file? Its not on mine. | 04:47 |
| cappicard | is it pata? | 04:47 |
| Zerachiel | cappicard: And yes, it is ATA. | 04:47 |
| cappicard | really? | 04:47 |
| cappicard | where at? | 04:48 |
| unitheory | Datz, it looks like you're out of luck then. have you installed build-essential ? | 04:48 |
| Zerachiel | cappicard: Wait.. SATA. I'm not sure if that works too? It's for Mobile. | 04:48 |
| unitheory | linuxguy2009, yep | 04:48 |
| bryan_ | does anyone have any experince with boxee? | 04:48 |
| cappicard | it has to be ATA/100 | 04:48 |
| mondayrocks | Yep. Got it. Thanks a lot, Severity1. | 04:48 |
| cappicard | this is a 4 year old laptop | 04:48 |
| Zerachiel | Yeah, I just remembered that. I'll keep searching. = | 04:48 |
| unitheory | linuxguy2009, try: locate bash_history | 04:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | Wondering where the heck mine walked off to. | 04:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | k | 04:48 |
| Severity1 | it worked? | 04:48 |
| mondayrocks | It worked. | 04:48 |
| Datz | unitheory: Yes I have, but the new transmission version includes libcurl which is not included in the build essesntial because its made for transmission 1.61 | 04:48 |
| tyler_d1 | ok so update-modules is deprecated, what should I be using to do this? | 04:48 |
| cappicard | the link i found may work. | 04:48 |
| bobo | hey for some reason i cant start rhythmbox and screenlets and i get an error that some module named pygtk isn't present | 04:48 |
| Severity1 | congratz | 04:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | haha /home/mark/.bash_history | 04:49 |
| mondayrocks | Thanks. It was all you. | 04:49 |
| cappicard | many people have posted they have gotten that 160 to work on that lapto jsut fine | 04:49 |
| linuxguy2009 | its not there though | 04:49 |
| bobo | and i probably won't be able to start a bunch of other programs too | 04:49 |
| Datz | unitheory: I'll just have to wait, thanks anyway. | 04:49 |
| cappicard | i upgraded my bios a few months ago from HP's site. | 04:49 |
| cappicard | had the mobo replaced 2 years ago | 04:49 |
| Severity1 | mondayrocks, icant stop my tears | 04:50 |
| Datz | unitheory: FYI web upload in transmission-daemon v1.61 doesn't work. (kinda sucks when you have no gui for the machine) | 04:50 |
| Zerachiel | Found you a 120GiB ATA-100 hard drive for $64.99. That's the cheapest I can find on this site. I'll keep looking though. | 04:50 |
| linuxguy2009 | OMG somebody shoot me, Im sitting here looking for a folder.wow I feel stupid. | 04:50 |

| Zerachiel | LOL. You gotz shotz, Linux. | 04:51 |
| linuxguy2009 | Thats like the dumbest thing I have done in a while I must be tired.wow | 04:51 |
| cappicard | ah ok. the funny thing is that the 160 I am looking at tiger direct is also 64.99 | 04:51 |
| here4thegear | lol.. just obliging =) | 04:51 |
| Zerachiel | Is it ATA-100 though? | 04:51 |
| cappicard | it's a seagate and this is WD. | 04:51 |
| bryan_ | has anyone had luck getting boxee to run recently? | 04:52 |

| Zerachiel | According to those, they only have 2 of the ATA-100s for laptops on their site. | 04:52 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, so do you know of a program to rebuild the chunks of files? | 04:52 |
| cappicard | hmm... doesn't say if it is ata 100. it does say it; | 04:52 |
| cappicard | it's 5400 rpm | 04:52 |
| Zerachiel | Give me a link, I'll check. | 04:53 |

| bobo | i do have python installed | 04:53 |
| kitty_ | ok just for the sake of asking, what the hell program can i use that is FREE and readily available to extract files from a .sit archive? | 04:53 |

| bobo | no joy | 04:54 |

| unitheory | wolf23, I don't know why you need that. but .tar.gz files contain source code that need to be compiled | 05:03 |
| bastidrazor | n2diy, you could edit one of them then cp that to the next box, editing to that specific box .. i don't know of an automatic detector | 05:04 |

| billybigrigger | here4thegear::: well you need to add the ip and host to your vista hosts if you want to be able to get that working | 05:04 |
| billybigrigger | here4thegear::: no other way around it | 05:05 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, I posted the link for the program above | 05:05 |
| systm | /clear | 05:05 |
| Severity1 | billybigrigger, you can also issue a command from somwhere on your lan to all your machines there to append an additional entry in your host or to edit your /etc/hosts itself | 05:05 |
| billybigrigger | Severity1::: explain please | 05:06 |
| M1K3 | is there a way to install ubuntu to a USB as if it were a harddrive w/ persistent changes? | 05:06 |
| n2diy | bastidrazor: we must be missing something, there must be a way to centralize it? I can't see sysadmins running around doing that? | 05:06 |
| systm | so, its safe to say, landscape isnt going to be free to use for noncommerical purposes? | 05:06 |
| here4thegear | billybigrigger: I'll do that, because I know it will work, however, as I said, I never had to edit vista hosts before, for any of the other images... this problem only came up now that I have changed the hostname in ubuntu | 05:06 |
| Severity1 | i mean you can make a bash script to edit /etc/hosts of all the machines on your network | 05:06 |
| Severity1 | lwizardl, can't find it LOL | 05:07 |
| unitheory | M1K3, yep | 05:07 |
| billybigrigger | Severity1::: ok, well that doesn't help when your on a vista desktop, using ubuntu in a vm | 05:07 |
| M1K3 | unitheory: how? | 05:07 |
| Severity1 | ah hold on im giving an advice to wrong person sorry | 05:08 |
| Severity1 | well anyways | 05:08 |
| kitty_ | anyone have access to a mac that can extract a 1.7M .sit file, repack it as something usable and send it back to me? | 05:08 |
| here4thegear | I do have an entry in /etc/hosts 127.0.1.1 mysite.dev.localdomain mysite.dev I'm not sure if that is right or not | 05:08 |
| unitheory | M1K3, i was afraid that was the next question | 05:08 |
| Severity1 | whats the problem with your vm? | 05:08 |
| Severity1 | is that on virtualbox | 05:08 |
| kitty_ | or shall i continue to bash my head into a wall or just pay 80$ for a pos software that no one ever wants to use | 05:08 |
| billybigrigger | here4thegear::: btw, can i ask why your using NAT for networking? do you have network access inside the vm? | 05:08 |
| M1K3 | unitheory: ahhh | 05:08 |
| billybigrigger | here4thegear::: and also what are you using for virtualization? | 05:09 |
| billybigrigger | here4thegear::: vmware or virtual box? | 05:09 |
| Severity1 | in vm it is better to switch to bridged networking then map the network interface you want to bridge with | 05:09 |
| here4thegear | billybigrigger: sure, I'm using vmware work station 6... and NAT because it's the local machine and it's the only way I was able to get it to work | 05:09 |
| freddy_ | hello, im having some weird issue, i rebooted my machine, and everything is working great...but i cant see my desktop icons... | 05:09 |
| billybigrigger | here4thegear::: doesn't work in bridged mode? | 05:09 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, well look in the center of the page for " Download: tucan (189.2 kB)" its already as a deb file or you can get the source files from their home page | 05:09 |
| freddy_ | i cant even right click in the desktop | 05:09 |
| unitheory | M1K3, there ought to be an install to usb drive app in your system > administration menu | 05:09 |
| n2diy | kitty_: what is a .sit file? | 05:09 |
| JyZyXEL | how do you make a bluetooth headset work in ubuntu? | 05:09 |
| lwizardl | http://tucaneando.com/index-en.html | 05:10 |
| freddy_ | .sit = some sort of osx compression file | 05:10 |
| kitty_ | BootX_1.2.2.sit | 05:10 |
| dvdnn | pessoal | 05:10 |
| Severity1 | ooooof sorry lwizardl . ok imma check it out | 05:10 |

| dvdnn | flash player | 05:10 |
| here4thegear | billybigrigger: well, not out the box, it may just be that I don't know how to use bridged mode properly, I'm kind of new to all this virtualization stuff to be honest... but, I can google some info on bridged | 05:10 |
| dvdnn | alguem pode me ajudar ae | 05:10 |

| epaphus | Hello, sometimes when I have various windows opened in UBuntu 8.10.. an application (usually firefox or pdigin) decides to abruptly close.. with no error or anything.. i just have to start it back up.. is this a UBuntu bug? | 05:10 |
| dvdnn | some one can help a friend? | 05:10 |
| losher | !br | dvdnn | 05:10 |
| ubottu | dvdnn: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 05:10 |
| n2diy | bastidrazor: ok, thanks, I'll have a look. | 05:10 |
| dvdnn | ok | 05:11 |
| dvdnn | tks | 05:11 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, also how much do you know about running your own PC based router using like m0n0wall or shrewall? | 05:11 |
| bastidrazor | n2diy, but that is talking about ubuntu only machines. doesn't include others.. but /etc/hosts doesn't have to be the real hostname of the box. it can be anything as long as the ip is correct | 05:11 |
| Severity1 | lwizardl, no idea LOL | 05:11 |
| bgamari | Where is the debug info package for gnome-settings-daemon | 05:11 |
| unitheory | M1K3, yep, that's the one | 05:11 |
| Severity1 | but i have settedup up a gateway server/firewall/proxy using ebox | 05:11 |
| n2diy | bastidrazor: np, I'm lucky, and only play with Ubuntu machines! :) | 05:12 |
| Severity1 | here4thegear, it is ideal to use bridged networking | 05:12 |
| here4thegear | billybigrigger: it's all good, you gave me some items to research, which is perfect.. now I won't be guessing so much in my google searches. | 05:12 |
| dvdnn | hey guys | 05:13 |
| dvdnn | need some help with flash player 10 | 05:13 |
| freddy_ | what help dude? | 05:13 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, ok reason why is I unfornately have a few windows machines on my network and both the users don't do updates like they should. So I was wondering if I could force the machines to do all updates before the y could connect to the internal network | 05:13 |
| freddy_ | as kthe question | 05:13 |
| M1K3 | unitheory: that just makes a usb into a live cd type deal w/out persisten changes though doesnt it? | 05:13 |
| M1K3 | unitheory: the same as unetbootin i believe | 05:13 |
| dvdnn | with the instalation | 05:13 |
| bastidrazor | n2diy, i learned something... hostname.local is a short and easy way to ssh or scp .. saves editing | 05:13 |
| dvdnn | I've downloaded | 05:13 |
| dvdnn | but | 05:13 |
| dvdnn | it shows an error | 05:14 |
| Severity1 | no | 05:14 |
| dvdnn | that It was impossible to install | 05:14 |
| dvdnn | =S | 05:14 |
| dvdnn | what can I do ? | 05:14 |
| epaphus | anybody..? | 05:14 |
| Severity1 | lwizardl, so where does this machines connect to to get to the internet? | 05:14 |
| n2diy | bastidrazor: yep, me too. I just pinged the box down stairs using .local, life is good. | 05:14 |
| losher | here4thegear: I agree with Severity1. I always used bridged networking with my vmwares... | 05:14 |
| here4thegear | Severity1: good, that's two people who've said bridged networking, I feel confident now that my issue may have a little more to do with my missunderstanding of vmware and networking than the server setup itself... good stuff guys.. You are all a big help | 05:15 |
| kbp | hello I'm new! Can anyone tell me how to resize/create partition on Ubuntu Server? Thank you very much | 05:15 |
| vince | Hello Everyone :-) | 05:15 |
| here4thegear | oops.. 3 :) you guys rock | 05:15 |
| unitheory | M1K3, sorry i don't know for sure | 05:15 |
| vince | kbp: are you doing a new install or resizing an existing partition? | 05:15 |
| Severity1 | losher, so you can easily setup your external network and internal network regardless of the stuff you use to cinfigure it | 05:15 |
| losher | here4thegear: with bridged networking, the guest appears to be sitting on the same network cable as the host | 05:16 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, I was wanting to limit access to like microsoft.com and the ubuntu sources servers if the machines have updates pending | 05:16 |
| kbp | vince: resizing an existing partition and then create new partitions (such as www, files, data etc.) for backup purpose | 05:16 |
| Severity1 | yep the physical machine acts as somesort of switch for the guest vms | 05:16 |
| multiverse | Hi all, what's the best way to manage the network in an Ubuntu Minimal installation? I just cloned it with virt-clone, and I can't figure out how to change the network stuf.f | 05:16 |
| M1K3 | unitheory: nevermind anyway, i just found a wiki for it, thnx anyway | 05:16 |
| meoblast001 | E: Build-dependencies for gnash could not be satisfied. | 05:16 |
| Severity1 | lwizardl, that's applicable for production machines | 05:17 |
| meoblast001 | why? | 05:17 |
| losher | meoblast001: I didn't think gnash was working properly yet? | 05:17 |
| Severity1 | lwizardl, hmmmmmm havent tried monowall and other stuff but | 05:17 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, I know I have seen something like this from the Hak5 shows tho | 05:17 |
| Severity1 | i think the best way to do that is find a startup script that would disable auto updates | 05:17 |
| Smis | Who needs help? | 05:17 |
| dvdnn | MEEEE | 05:17 |
| here4thegear | losher: so localhost should then take me to it is what you're saying? | 05:17 |
| SerenityKill3r | hey | 05:17 |
| dvdnn | smis | 05:18 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, also would you link some test links to try in tucan :) | 05:18 |
| Smis | Dvdnn, eat my balls | 05:18 |
| Smis | I will help you after | 05:18 |
| vince | kbp : are you doing this all fromt he terminal or do you use Gnome or KDE? I know you said its a server but I know a few people who keep a graphical front end. | 05:18 |
| Severity1 | or setup a firewall like squid | 05:18 |
| dvdnn | wow man be cool | 05:18 |
| M1K3 | lwizardl, my university does that type of thing D: | 05:18 |
| Smis | Ok get down there dvdnn | 05:18 |
| dvdnn | I just need some help with flash player | 05:18 |
| Smis | eat my balls good | 05:18 |
| mmek | ... | 05:18 |
| Smis | mmmm just like that dvdnn | 05:18 |
| lwizardl | M1K3, do you know what they use for it? | 05:18 |
| dvdnn | O.o | 05:19 |
| Severity1 | okay still haven't checked with tucan. maybe later after my work, afterall im still at the office | 05:19 |
| here4thegear | I'll have a better idea I guess, when it's rebooted and I run ifconfig | 05:19 |
| dvdnn | thas how u help a friend? | 05:19 |
| bobo | does anyone know how to revert back to an older time like in windows for ubuntu? | 05:19 |
| Smis | dvdnn has got some good lips | 05:19 |
| kbp | vince: I've just installed it from the disc and it has no GUI. | 05:19 |
| Smis | mmmm | 05:19 |
| Smis | dvdnn's got some angelina jolie lips | 05:19 |
| dvdnn | tku anyway | 05:19 |
| koshari | bobo yes you simply restore your partimage snapshot :-) | 05:19 |

| losher | here4thegear: it's more that any address you give the guest should be a valid one for that bit of network, and shouldn't be the same as any other host on that segment | 05:19 |
| bobo | koshari: how do i do that | 05:19 |
| Smis | lol | 05:19 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, ok hehe hope you like asians lol | 05:19 |
| vince | kbp: Ok, and finally what version are you running? 9.04? | 05:19 |
| administrador | :) | 05:20 |
| losher | here4thegear: basically the same rules/restrictions as when choosing an address for the host applies to the guest, does that make sense? | 05:20 |
| M1K3 | lwizardl, It might be a router setting they have, but I think it is b/c they make people run Windows :) install extra software (safeconnect) that checks to make sure they have all updates and an antivirus installed | 05:20 |
| kbp | vince: yes | 05:20 |
| koshari | bobo you need to make a save first | 05:21 |
| toter | Hi everybody... I was reading about how to make linux load faster... Does anyone know how to configure Ubuntu to load startup services in parallel? Is it manual or is there a package or something that configures everything automatically? | 05:21 |
| vince | Ok, First of all backup everything if you haven't already if theres anything on there you don' | 05:21 |
| bobo | ok, how do i do that? | 05:21 |
| vince | sorry. | 05:21 |
| lwizardl | M1K3, well I would like to some details on it because I want to do this for both my home network and my business networks | 05:21 |
| here4thegear | losher: Yes, it does actually, because before, I was getting a totally different scheme for the ip address for ubuntu than exists on my network | 05:21 |
| bobo | cuz i kind of just uninstalled python | 05:21 |
| losher | here4thegear: how do you assign your addresses? statically or dhcp? | 05:21 |
| here4thegear | losher: so your explination makes perfect sense... now that I bridged, the scheme is the same | 05:21 |
| bobo | because i wanted to reinstall it cuz it was broken | 05:21 |
| here4thegear | losher dhcp | 05:21 |
| lwizardl | M1K3, I already have my router blocking problem sites ones that I know are browser hijack sites | 05:22 |
| koshari | bobo you first need a partition other than your one where the OS is installed, ie, a removable disc or additional partition | 05:22 |
| zaccour | there are no updates for the latest pidgin, how do i get it so yahoo will work again? | 05:22 |
| losher | here4thegear: as long as your dhcp server is properly configured, it should just hand out valid addresses to anyone who requests one. It should 'just work'... | 05:22 |
| lwizardl | zaccour, I'm using pidgin and yahoo mine connects fine just every few days it flakes out | 05:22 |
| bobo | nevermind, ill do it some other time | 05:23 |
| multiverse | How do I get a NIC to work in Ubuntu Minimal? | 05:23 |
| zaccour | lwizardl, mine isn't connecting at all. how do i upgrade pidgin? | 05:23 |
| vince | kbp: Sorry hit the enter key too quick, Backup everything before you start. The easiest thing to do that I know of would be to get a live CD and boot off of that that way theres no active partitions in the server. From the LiveCD you should be able to load GParted and move and resize everything. If you absolutely have to do it from the command line I'll be honest im not sure how to do that but a quick google search would probably tur | 05:23 |
| vince | n that up. Again I would backup, book from a CD or other media so the drives isn't active and do what you need to do. | 05:23 |
| Ademan_school | does anyone know how to customize your initrd in 9.04? Dmraid doesn't seem to be activating properly... I think I see where I would put my scripts but there seem to be several places, /etc/initrd-tools/scripts and /usr/share/initram-tools/scripts (paths are not exact...) | 05:24 |
| here4thegear | right, so, now I do have valid addresses.. I think I'm good. not sure yet, I need to recheck /etc/hosts and make sure the entries are correct | 05:24 |
| lwizardl | zaccour, all i did was disable the yahoo account for a day. log into the yahoo mail site, log out from yahoo site, and then reenable the pidgin yahoo account and it works for a few days | 05:24 |
| flavio | unitheory: hi there | 05:24 |

| Xeon3D | hi. I have 2 HD's external. 1 mounts automatically when I plug it in, the other doesn't. but If i do sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/test it'll mount ok, any idea how can I make it automount when plugging it in? | 05:24 |
| unitheory | flavio, hello | 05:24 |
| zaccour | but how do i update an application like pidgin? | 05:24 |
| M1K3 | lwizardl, I have no clue what they are running on their network to filter out computers that don't have the proper security (or ps3's) | 05:25 |
| Xeon3D | this is on jaunty by the way | 05:25 |
| flavio | unitheory: thank you for the command (to include dns ip)... but can you help to change (or add) the 'search domainname' too ? | 05:25 |
| unitheory | zaccour, looking for this? http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-Yahoo-problem-in-Pidgin-114754.shtml | 05:25 |
| nomad77 | !build-dep | zaccour | 05:25 |

| arpi | Hi, I'm looking for a way to use http://www.google.co.uk/sendtophone as a pager from a script when motion is detected. My question is how do I make http://www.google.co.uk/sendtophone send me the default message to my mobile from the command line ? | 05:25 |
| lwizardl | zaccour, the only way to do an update thats not in the repos that i know of would be to download the new source file from their website and recompile it for your system then uninstall pidgin, and then install it using the new compiled version | 05:26 |
| flavio | unitheory: only the ip is not enough to my needs... :( | 05:26 |
| lwizardl | but i doubt even that is newer | 05:26 |
| zaccour | thanks | 05:26 |
| kbp | vince: is LiveCD the Ubuntu Desktop CD? (sorry for this noob question but I just confirm because I guess it's defintely not Ubuntu Server CD hence it may be desktop cd...) | 05:26 |
| bobo | How do i repair a broken python | 05:26 |
| Xeon3D | Anyone knows how can I make a disk automount when plugging it in (like the rest of my ext. usb devices do) ??? | 05:26 |
| lwizardl | M1K3, well next time you are there think you could ask a system admin for some details. heck I could even give you my email to give them | 05:26 |
| Xeon3D | kbp: yes. | 05:27 |
| zaccour | unitheory, which download should i do? http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Pidgin-Download-6.html | 05:27 |
| unitheory | flavio, so edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and stick a domain-search yourdomainseach in there | 05:27 |
| Severity1 | WAAAAH! tucan manager should be in the repos! grrrrrrr | 05:27 |
| Severity1 | this is one sweet package | 05:27 |
| nomad77 | zaccour pidgin.org | 05:27 |
| unitheory | zaccour, 32-bit if you're not sure | 05:27 |
| here4thegear | arrr, still not getting much joy with all of this :( I can still go to the ip address to get my web content, but not to mysite.dev do I need to set up some sort of dns binding? | 05:27 |
| ghindo | nomad77, It's pidgin.im | 05:28 |
| kbp | ok thank you Vince and Xeon3D, I gonna re-partition the drive and install my server gain | 05:28 |
| kbp | *again | 05:28 |
| flavio | unitheory: so, the name is 'domain-search' there too ? | 05:28 |
| ibmman | how do you rename floppy disks in ubuntu? | 05:28 |
| bobo | how do i install that nifty add/remove software program? i accidently deleted it | 05:28 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, hehe told you. someone in this channel told me about it today and i'm spreading the love | 05:28 |
| * Xeon3D wonders if his question is so difficult like that. | 05:28 | |
| nomad77 | ghindo indeed i forgot | 05:28 |
| zaccour | Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: pidgin-data (>= 1:2.5.7) | 05:28 |

| Severity1 | lwizardl, why'd you ask if i like asians? | 05:29 |
| bobo | How do i install pygtk? | 05:29 |
| arpi | Hi, I'm looking for a way to use http://www.google.co.uk/sendtophone as a pager from a script when motion is detected. My question is how do I make http://www.google.co.uk/sendtophone send me the default message to my mobile from the command line ? | 05:29 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, because the test links i can give you are to about 20 dvd rips | 05:29 |
| lwizardl | :) | 05:29 |
| Severity1 | okay of asianovels? | 05:29 |
| lwizardl | nope | 05:29 |

| Severity1 | no worries i am asian therefore i like | 05:29 |
| lwizardl | pron videos | 05:29 |
| miguel | niguel | 05:29 |
| unitheory | flavio, if you take a look at /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf you will see that be default it requests domain-name-servers and domain-search | 05:30 |
| Xeon3D | Anyone knows how can I make a disk automount when plugging it in (like the rest of my ext. usb devices do) ??? | 05:30 |
| ibmman | anyone know? | 05:30 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest54795 | ||
| Severity1 | okay asian porn movies i definitely like | 05:30 |
| Xeon3D | ibmman: youdon't rename a floppy | 05:30 |
| Xeon3D | you mean label a floppy? | 05:30 |
| M1K3 | lwizardl, prolly i actually job shadowed one of the network admins during middle school :) | 05:30 |
| ibmman | yes | 05:30 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, ah nice, well I have always had a I guess you would call it an asian fetish. | 05:30 |
| unitheory | flavio, the command i gave you earlier added a line to the end of the file that puts your custom nameserver in before the requested ones | 05:30 |
| Severity1 | lol | 05:30 |
| Guest54795 | Hello i need help with a firefox addon please, thanks | 05:30 |

| Severity1 | just dont give me trike patrol | 05:31 |
| vince | kbP; Yes it is the desktop CD. When you start it as the live CD should boot into a Gnome Environment. It will have some useful system tools available to you such as GParted As I believe someone else mentioned it may be easier to just reinstall the server and set the partitions up the way you want them from the get go. | 05:31 |
| Severity1 | nah just pm them to meeeeeee | 05:31 |
| bobo | can you repair Jaunty from the livecd? | 05:31 |

| Guest54795 | ok how do i get a nickname | 05:31 |
| media` | whats a good lightweight linux dist that would work well on an older notebook | 05:31 |
| Hilikus | is there any way to send syslog messages to my email address? | 05:31 |
| media` | any preferences? | 05:31 |
| flavio | unitheory: ok. right... I will try domain-search... but in my dhclient.conf there's no domain-search there... thank you... | 05:31 |
| Severity1 | bobo, waddya mean repair? | 05:31 |
| Zerachiel | Xubuntu, definitely. | 05:31 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, i'll pm you the title of the page i got them from on a forum | 05:32 |
| Severity1 | you can just issue fsck to repair | 05:32 |
| media` | cool | 05:32 |
| losher | media`: lots of choices: damn small linux, puppy linux, crunchbang linux, google for more choices | 05:32 |
| bobo | like ok, so i got some updates today i think for the kernel but idk | 05:32 |
| Severity1 | OKAY! thnx | 05:32 |
| vince | media` Obviously i'm bias but Xubuntu would be the way to go I think. It uses XFCE as its desktop environment and is very lightweight, | 05:32 |
| Severity1 | we are like pervs in here | 05:32 |
| Zerachiel | media': Xubuntu is probably the best I know of. It's about 2.5GiB when installed, and is really low strain on the comp. | 05:32 |
| lwizardl | M1K3, ok I was the same way with a few admins locally here | 05:32 |
| Xeon3D | ibmman: install the mtools package and then | 05:32 |
| Xeon3D | use mlable | 05:32 |

| Severity1 | cool japs | 05:32 |
| Severity1 | thanks lwizardl | 05:32 |
| lwizardl | lol | 05:32 |
| bobo | and so i tried opening up rhythmbox and it said that pygtk module is blah blah blah idk (rhythmbox:6150): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not import pygtk | 05:32 |

| bobo | Segmentation fault | 05:32 |

| Xeon3D | Anyone knows how can I make a disk automount when plugging it in (like the rest of my ext. usb devices do) ?????? | 05:33 |
| Guest54795 | help with firefox addons please | 05:33 |
| bobo | so i uninstalled some python stuff and now i barely have anything | 05:33 |
| Severity1 | i bet there's a maria aiozawa video in there somwhere | 05:33 |
| Zerachiel | Oh, that's easy. | 05:33 |
| Zerachiel | Make the device bootable. I'll find you a download, Xeon. | 05:33 |
| lwizardl | Severity1, if you pm me your email address i will email you the links for all the files you will also need that java version of hj split for the videos to work right | 05:33 |
| Xeon3D | Zerachiel: !?!??!? | 05:33 |
| Severity1 | yep! | 05:33 |
| Xeon3D | I want it to mount on the desktop when I plug it in! | 05:33 |
| here4thegear | ok, I guess I do need to do some dns binding even on an intranet? | 05:33 |
| Zerachiel | Xeon3D: You want to make your USB device bootable, correct? | 05:33 |

| Xeon3D | I want to make it mount when I plug it in... | 05:34 |
| Xeon3D | I can mount it manually | 05:34 |
| Zerachiel | Oh! Gomen, I'm not sure really. | 05:34 |
| ibmman | what do i type to get the mtools package? | 05:34 |
| Xeon3D | but I have another usb disk that mounts automatically. | 05:34 |
| Zerachiel | Maybe... An autorun of sorts? | 05:34 |
| Guest54795 | myrtti, ok man | 05:34 |
| Xeon3D | ibmman: sudo apt-get install mtools | 05:34 |
| Severity1 | no you shouldn't have uninstalled pygtk stuff | 05:34 |
| Xeon3D | Zerachiel: don't think so. | 05:34 |
| bobo | i know, but how do i get all that stuff back | 05:34 |
| Severity1 | its needed as dependency of some gui apps | 05:34 |

| RubiksQubed | I'm just using drag and drop from dvd to desktop. I just assumed since it works in other distros it would work here. Some of the photos on the dvd are there and some are X'd. Seems to be an ubuntu thing. | 05:54 |
| losher | wsa: classic symptoms of your nfs server not responding... | 05:54 |
| samtihen | thomast: and random things get set to mute at random | 05:54 |
| thomast | samtihen - pointers of where to start? Jaunty on an HP laptop, with NVidia audio. | 05:54 |
| wsa | losher: huh. it seems to be 'responding' everywhere else | 05:54 |
| RubiksQubed | What I mean is that some photos are displayed and others have default jpeg icon with "X" emblem. | 05:54 |
| losher | RubiksQubed: sorry, I don't use the gui, someone else will have to help you | 05:55 |

I understand that my gf backed up 12 gigs of photos on a dvdr with weird permissions, but I know it's possible to just drag and drop from nautilus since Fedora does it with no problem. Just trying to figure it out here. | 05:57 |

| bernardtk | nomad77, this is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m2745d114 | 06:09 |
| nomad77 | bernardtk looking | 06:09 |
| bernardtk | nomad77, thankyou :) | 06:09 |
| LuYu | i have been noticing recently that people have been putting up more and more access points which is nice | 06:09 |
| LuYu | but many of them have no DNS support | 06:09 |
| losher | RubiksQubed: good, your cd is in /media/cdrom1 right where it should be. Where are you trying to copy the files to? | 06:10 |
| entropy | crdlb, you're the best. thanks so much. | 06:10 |
| RubiksQubed | losher, I went ahead and copied from the DVD from the cli. all of them are copying, even the ones with permission issues. I can fix them here myself. thanks. Don't know why I didn't think of this. | 06:10 |
| LuYu | when i go to a net cafe or a friends house that has this, i can connect to the access point but not the internet | 06:10 |
| losher | RubiksQubed: cool, you just saved me a bunch of typing.... | 06:10 |
| thomast | samtihen - If I'm missing options, does it mean I need diff drivers for my sound card? | 06:11 |
| RubiksQubed | LOL. Thanks a bunch though. Just slipped my mind that the cli might be a better option. Appreciate it much :) | 06:11 |
| LuYu | the first time i experienced this, i used my home ISPs dns server, and the problem was solved | 06:11 |
| LuYu | however, subsequently at a friends house, it didnt work (i assume he had a different ISP) | 06:11 |

| LuYu | however, it seems that windows boxen handle this situation without a hitch | 06:12 |
| mezquitale | meant to say Silent LoL | 06:12 |
| LuYu | see which thing above? | 06:12 |
| nztal | LuYu, you could try opendns, if you want your resolv.conf to stay the same, but often connecting to another AP changes your /etc/resolv.conf so you could do something like sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf i have found that using wicd for access points works much better than the network-manager-gnome when your on the move, especially for those times, you just can't get the net going | 06:13 |
| mezquitale | LuYu, not you, Silent_VLG | 06:13 |
| bernardtk | Any ideas nomad77?? | 06:14 |

| nomad77 | bernardtk this is mine diff driver probly http://pastebin.com/d6cfd2c65 | 06:14 |
| LuYu | yeah, but my question is: what can be done to make _ubuntu_ (and for that matter all versions of linux) solve this problem automagically? | 06:15 |
| bernardtk | nomad77, what res are you running? | 06:15 |
| LuYu | has such a thing been reported as a bug? | 06:15 |

| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 06:16 |
| bernardtk | nomad77, ahk, can I use your xorg? | 06:16 |
| cabrey | aarcane, netbook-launch IIRC | 06:16 |
| silv3r_m00n | I am converting a vob to flv using ffmpeg ... but a 17min video is 132mb in size | 06:16 |
| bernardtk | and see if it works? | 06:16 |
| silv3r_m00n | how can I reduce the size | 06:16 |
| aarcane | cabrey, is that all? wow.. | 06:16 |
| LuYu | i just figure anything that windows does right, we shouldnt do wrong | 06:16 |
| === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk | ||
| LuYu | these sorts of things are very difficult to explain | 06:17 |
| LF4 | bernardtk: I'm seem to be having the same issues as yourself. | 06:17 |
| nomad77 | bernardtk your labelling seems inconsistant some uses 0 for lables some default might be the prob | 06:17 |
| cabrey | aarcane, install ubuntu-netbook-remix instead | 06:17 |
| cabrey | aarcane, that'll pull in all the deps | 06:17 |
| nztal | LuYu, #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:17 |
| aarcane | cabrey, you mean apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix ? | 06:17 |
| LuYu | its hard to tell someone their computer isnt working because someone didnt properly configure their AP when all the windows boxes visibly work | 06:17 |
| cabrey | aarcane, yes | 06:17 |
| LuYu | how is this offtopic? | 06:18 |
| aarcane | cabrey, sweet. thanks. | 06:18 |
| bernardtk | nomad77, ahk, but why would I not even have the option to change it in nvidia settings? | 06:18 |
| LuYu | this is definitely a support question | 06:18 |
| LuYu | linked with a question about the future of support | 06:18 |
| losher | silv3r_m00n: can you reduce the bitrate? Or the resolution? Basically less quailty -> smaller size | 06:18 |
| nomad77 | bernardtk perhaps the driver is not correct for your card/chipset,i'm not sure | 06:19 |
| LuYu | i want to know a) how to fix the problem myself and b) how to make sure everybody i have gotten to use ubuntu does not experience this problem | 06:19 |

| bernardtk | LF4, 180 | 06:20 |
| bernardtk | LF4, 180.44 | 06:20 |

| bernardtk | LF4, how do I restart x on jaunty? | 06:24 |
| LF4 | It might but I know the 180 driver works I have it running on my centos and slackware installs (this is a quad-boot system). | 06:24 |
| nztal | !dontzap | 06:24 |
| ubottu | To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 06:24 |

| losher | systm: nothing, in my opinion. Google "JFS/XFS have over ext3" | 06:26 |
| nztal | bernardtk, someone reports the 180 driver working i've been able to install that on my laptop through the unsupported envyng-gtk package. i've used it at times when my video card wasn't supported, just to get into X | 06:26 |
| n2diy | LF4: keep in mind most GUI commands, interface to there CLI counter parts, and may not be as mature as them. | 06:26 |
| bernardtk | nztal, I have envyng installed and used that to install the nvidia drivers | 06:27 |
| LF4 | n2diy: I know which is why I prefer CLI all my other systems boot to runlevel 3. | 06:27 |
| imatech | so what's the best server edition of Linux? | 06:27 |

| kbp | hello I have 3 partitions which are all ext3 on the server (ubuntu server). Is there any problem if I copy/paste files between my windows XP (ntfs) & the server? do I have to format the partitions to NTFS to make sure I wont lose any data? | 06:28 |
| bernardtk | yeah | 06:29 |
| bernardtk | nztal, it lets me choose like 4 differenet ones | 06:29 |

| n2diy | samir_: LF4, ? is a better choice than - | 06:32 |
| n2diy | * | 06:32 |
| LF4 | kbp: good call I was thinking two things at once. | 06:32 |
| losher | LF4: most guis are just badly implement front ends to the same tired old linux text files, for those who can't hack cli. No reason not to manage via cli if you don't mind learning. The 'server' distro doesn't even bother installing the guis... | 06:32 |
| LF4 | samir_: specify which kernel you would want by typing it out fully. | 06:32 |
| samir_ | whatever => 2.6.26-3-generic | 06:33 |

| Alex_21 | I need to know. Do I put Root or SWAP at the beginning of the drive setup at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Installing . I am not sure. I mean. Do I partition the disk first and then make the RAID Aray, or do I make the Raid Aray and then partition? | 06:34 |
| LF4 | losher: sounds good I thought ubuntu was different in some way. Since I have not experianced it enough yet. I'll stick with the CLI then. Thanks. | 06:34 |
| samir_ | the point is, i just have to install linux-image of that version, or there's something else i have to care about? | 06:34 |
| samir_ | like headers?? | 06:34 |
| LF4 | samir_: that is correct. :) | 06:34 |
| samir_ | plus, this will come with 2.6.26 modules? i'm interested just on that | 06:34 |
| LF4 | samir_: Oh I understand what you are asking now. | 06:35 |
| losher | kbp: no reason you can't copy/paste between ntfs and ext3 (not between raw partitions of course, but fine via the OS) | 06:35 |
| * Xeon3D brb | 06:35 | |
| samir_ | my webcam was "unfixed" for the fix of 2.6.27, to have image whithout trouble i have to do a downgrade | 06:35 |
| n2diy | samir_: that depends, apt-get and synaptic will hanle the dependiences for you, if you use other means to get the kernel, you are on your own. | 06:35 |

| LF4 | losher: thats what I have been reading, though most of the time I am in CLI except for web browsing. | 06:37 |
| nztal | datacrusher, you need to install a recompiled libflashsupport.so file. its on the ubuntu OSS wiki the instructions on how to carry that out | 06:37 |
| n2diy | samir_: is this a test box, or a mission critical box? | 06:37 |

| chull | nztal, that's pretty much what i did | 06:58 |

| chull | LF4, hmm why would it not be? and how can we tell? | 06:59 |
| LF4 | bernardtk: once I fiugre out the issue I'll let you know. | 07:00 |
| Severity1 | Apollo2366, that is weird | 07:00 |
| bernardtk | LF4, thanks :) | 07:00 |
| Severity1 | are you basing this from what? | 07:00 |
| LF4 | chull: Ubuntu does not have SSHD running by default I noticed its not even installed. | 07:00 |
| Apollo2366 | Severity1, what do you think might be the problem? | 07:00 |
| forceflow | Apollo2366: is it flash ? | 07:00 |
| Apollo2366 | Yeah, and a nintendo DS emulator | 07:01 |
| chull | LF4, i've ssh'd and scp'd between the two before | 07:01 |
| Severity1 | is the result based on frequency scaling monitor? or top? | 07:01 |
| forceflow | mmm, the nintendo DS emulator might not be optimized for using GPU capabilities ... | 07:01 |
| Severity1 | desmume on ubuntu | 07:01 |
| Severity1 | ?? | 07:01 |
| brad_ | way off topic, I wish MS would port the win32 subsystem to linux | 07:01 |
| Severity1 | drop it | 07:01 |
| Severity1 | install wine and run no$gba for ds emulator | 07:01 |
| chull | is there anything i can do to confirm that the computer is alive ? | 07:01 |
| nztal | bernardtk, maybe an adjustment to your xorg.conf will fix it. did you try and google to see of a fix ? if you can't find one, try booting into recovery mode and choosing the "xfix" option, for lack of anything else to try . but i'd check the forums, because sometimes there is a toggle that will simply enable things to happen | 07:02 |
| Severity1 | somehow desmume doesnt work | 07:02 |
| Severity1 | and eats a lot of resources | 07:02 |
| LF4 | chull: ok so I presume you know that the SSHD installed and running on both systems. It might just be locked up and require a restart. | 07:02 |

| bernardtk | nztal, I am trying to change my xorg now. I'll see what I can get done, thanks | 07:02 |

| Apollo2366 | What is no$gba ? | 07:02 |
| Severity1 | no$gba is a gba and ds emulator | 07:03 |
| Apollo2366 | Oh nvm | 07:03 |
| LF4 | nztal and bernardtk changing the xorg.conf does not have an effect. I tried to manually add modes to no avail. | 07:03 |
| nilton_ | hello | 07:03 |
| Severity1 | so far it is the most stabel ds emulator around | 07:03 |
| chull | n2diy, it's the third or so day of being awfully warm here, i had fans but no ac.. crashing is possible.. the screensaver is frozen on | 07:03 |

| bernardtk | lf4, how annoying :( | 07:03 |
| Severity1 | it can even run 3d ds games | 07:03 |
| nztal | bernardtk, btw, if you try xfix option in recovery mode, and find yourself not able to get into X at all, you can run envyng in console mode through sudo envyng -t just to get things up and running, you'll have to install another "not working" driver | 07:03 |

| Severity1 | when did you install flash? | 07:09 |
| Apollo2366 | Hmm... two or three months ago I think | 07:09 |
| nomad77 | bernardtk its a hidden "dotfile" in your home directory | 07:09 |

| nztal | can anyone point me in the right direction on how to configure my /etc/network/interfaces file for wireless ? also when i try to assign a static ip since i'm using dnsmasq here for dns cache, i can't seem to be able to use 127.0.0.1 as a valid dns-server (under the eth0) entry, it will lose internet, and i'll be without a connection or mode of assistance to figure out how to get going with dnsmasq and the interfaces file | 07:10 |
| Severity1 | do a sudo apt-get remove --purge on those packages | 07:10 |
| bernardtk | nomad77, I'm looking at all the hiddin folders, nvidia-settings-rc isn't there...... | 07:10 |
| Apollo2366 | It's not really all flashes though, just a few. But it seems like I should be getting more performance is all | 07:10 |
| n2diy | wookienz: perl? | 07:10 |
| LF4 | nomad77: the .nvidia-settings-rc does not have any info about resolution. | 07:11 |
| nomad77 | oh sorry | 07:11 |
| chull | n2diy, the lights seem to be off now.. and the screensaver isn't on anymore *sigh* | 07:11 |
| wookienz | n2diy: anything is fne | 07:12 |
| Apollo2366 | Severity1, before I purge those packages, could you run the flash and see how it performs on your system? If it's just an expensive animation, then there's not much I can do about it. | 07:12 |
| n2diy | chull, not good, does ctrl-alt+backspace do anything? | 07:13 |
| chull | if i do that i'll end up restarting all my vim windows again | 07:14 |
| n2diy | wookienz: look for a perl channel, that is programming, and not supported here, to my knowledge. | 07:14 |

| LF4 | chull: Did you try ALT+CTRL+F1? | 07:16 |

| wookienz | all in same directory, all same type. | 07:16 |
| wookienz | the ones i want to change i want to remove the first 7 characters. | 07:17 |

| vigo | kottlett: Also try the sudo apt-get update, let it run, then sudo apt-get upgrade, together they may resolve it, may have to do from the web like AP suggested also, seems like the sources.lst should work after those two commands. | 07:32 |

| remoteCTRL1 | Radtoo: errr. i dunno, where should it point to? | 09:58 |
| redsoxking | veelaze: yeah the top one is right | 09:58 |
| Radtoo | remoteCTRL1: The kernel's source code. And in there, you might just quickly want to run make or something. | 09:58 |
| veelaze | So i cant run Ubuntu on here? | 09:58 |
| Radtoo | remoteCTRL1: At least thats commonly what most external drivers require, such as I think you're trying to install. | 09:59 |
| redsoxking | veelaze: if you burnt your ISO image on a CD-RW then you might come into problems | 09:59 |

| Melio | Paulo39: depending on how you want to use them. sure why not | 11:07 |
| Radtoo | Paulo39: might want to use single quotes or escape the "", with backslashes perhaps | 11:07 |
| Melio | Paulo39: it's fairly simple with awk or something to do your text processing to give you a script | 11:07 |
| Paulo39 | Melio: what is a text file stream? | 11:07 |
| woden | I think I figured it out. Ubuntu calls the netinstall.iso by a different name: mini.iso But it basically performs the function that I was looking for. Namely, downloading the current package from the repo instead of using the older version from the CD/DVD/USB | 11:07 |
| Melio | Paulo39: console applications can dump the output to a text file | 11:07 |
| Melio | Paulo39: like the utility to list directory contents "ls" | 11:08 |
| Paulo39 | yes | 11:08 |
| Paulo39 | but | 11:08 |
| Paulo39 | and then? | 11:08 |
| Melio | Paulo39: then you edit the file to add your renaming scheme properly | 11:08 |
| Melio | then you run it as a script to do a batch rename | 11:08 |
| shadeslayer | woden: yeah..looks like what you wanted | 11:08 |
| Melio | you can feasably use intelligent coding to seek and rename , but that's very advanced | 11:09 |
| Radtoo | Melio: And how will he have whitespaces but not the same problems? He'll need to escape these either way, no? :D | 11:09 |
| Melio | Radtoo: I know the solutions, but not his problems | 11:09 |
| Melio | :) | 11:09 |
| Paulo39 | Melio: ok, i go to investigate that, now i'll try to use single quotes or escape the quotes and then i i'll see that renaming process. thanks :) | 11:09 |
| woden | shadeslayer: the mini.iso will install a standard Ubuntu desktop right? I mean, including all the same default packages that a normal live USB cd would install. | 11:10 |

| Melio | Paulo39: I know it's really confusing what I said. but think of it like this, instead of individually renaming each file. you can pipe the directory to a basic file you can edit by hand | 11:10 |
| aTr | is apparmor any important? | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | om26er1: i would prefer vlc for playing videos | 11:10 |
| Melio | Radtoo: right, that can be done with awk and ls output | 11:11 |
| Radtoo | Melio: Which requires single quotes or escaped double quotes or somesuch around the filename when ultimately invoking the conversion. | 11:11 |
| Melio | you want the regex example? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Melio: or you can escape the space with \ e.g. 01\ -\ blah\ blah.wma | 11:11 |
| Melio | right | 11:12 |
| Slart | aTr: important enough that they decided to use it by default | 11:12 |

| Melio | ActionParsnip: if everything was standard. we wouldnt need #ubuntu to help people :) | 11:13 |
| Radtoo | Melio: I'm sure you can do it with awk, a bash regex, or converting all file names to something simple with fslint, but just using single quotes or escaped double quotes or escaping the whitespaces might be best... >D | 11:13 |
| Melio | Radtoo: yep | 11:13 |
| Slart | aTr: sounds like a bad guide.. you can make exceptions for apparmor if you want | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Melio: we would for new users, if everything was standard we would have less issues with file data and connectivity, it would all sing | 11:13 |
| Melio | ActionParsnip: we just need to convert windows users so those ftp servers don't fire up in the first place | 11:14 |

| Slart | aTr: hmm.. google didn't find anything useful.. and I don't really know enough about apparmor to troubleshoot it.. perhaps someone else knows | 11:24 |
| arand | Paulo39: This worked for me: "for i in *.wma; do mv "$i" "$i".mp3; done" renaming "a a.wma" to "a a.wma.mp3" | 11:24 |
| gerber_ | my system is lock , how can i unlock it ? | 11:24 |
| Slart | jamiewan: have you installed ntfsprogs? | 11:24 |
| vatts | is there light (very light ^_^) version of ubuntu | 11:24 |
| aTr | Slart, if it doesn't works, then I won't mess with it :p | 11:24 |
| aTr | but i'll try reinstalling it | 11:25 |
| jamiewan | slart:not sure ill check | 11:25 |
| Slart | jamiewan: one one of the menus there is an option for showing "capabilities".. ie what it can do to different file systems.. check what is says it can do to ntfs | 11:25 |
| Slart | vatts: the minimal version can be as light as you want it, I suppose | 11:26 |
| vatts | Slart: console-only version? | 11:26 |
| Slart | !minimal | vatts | 11:26 |
| ubottu | vatts: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:26 |
| gerber_ | my system is lock , how can i unlock it ? | 11:26 |
| Welshy-Rob | hi can someone tell me how to completly change the colour of my top task bar ? i have tried using properties but it only changes the colour for some of the taskbar not all of it ?? | 11:26 |
| Slart | vatts: if you want it to be, sure | 11:26 |
| vatts | !alternate | 11:26 |
| ubottu | 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 | 11:26 |
| arand | gerber_: do you have any package-handling applications running? | 11:27 |
| vatts | ah | 11:27 |
| vatts | i get it | 11:27 |
| vatts | if i think right, !minimal is the install-what-you-want CD, Slart ? | 11:27 |
| Slart | vatts: you can use xfce.. or one of the other "lighter" desktop enviroments | 11:27 |
| brennus | is there a way to delete all panels in GNOME? I am endeavoring to replace it all with screenlets | 11:27 |

| Slart | vatts: you might also want to have a look at DSL or puppylinux | 11:28 |

| Slart | vatts: it's only.. 10MB or so? =) | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: you need the kernel source for your current kernel | 11:33 |

| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: thats what the error says to me. its a bit garbaged as I had to read it in notepad | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: provided you have the kernel source you can use any kernel | 11:35 |
| Paulo39 | arand: thanks, it really works! thank you | 11:35 |

| Murray | could somebody help me with my mozilla firefox, according to the terminal it says "could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.*." | 11:36 |
| Murray | what should I do? | 11:37 |
| vatts | ActionParsnip: remember my ubuntu problem, when nerest ubuntu didn't boot (even server?)?, however, now i installed dapper DESKTOP! and it works. looks like it's SLI fail, but if i distro-upgrade it, will it still boot? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: try telling the compiler where the source files are manuall | 11:37 |
| th0r | remoteCTRL1: did you install the linux-headers? | 11:37 |
| remoteCTRL1 | th0r: linux headers are also installed | 11:37 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: how would i do that? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | vatts: should do, did you md5 your iso and verify your cd each time you downloaded a fresh cd? | 11:38 |
| vatts | if i distro-upgrade sys, necesary drivers stay in or? | 11:38 |
| Murray | could somebody help me with my mozilla firefox, according to the terminal it says "could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.*." | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: it will be an option at the configure stage | 11:38 |
| vatts | ActionParsnip: i installed it using ORIGINAL (!) cds | 11:38 |
| vatts | trick is | 11:38 |
| vatts | newer ubuntus | 11:38 |
| vatts | has NO ISA (not SLI) drivers (i fail) | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | vatts: how do you mean? You should still check the CDs as well as teh iSO if you ownload them | 11:38 |
| vatts | not SLI (that's for graphics), i have that, ISA) | 11:38 |
| silv3r_m001 | hi there | 11:38 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: no such thing, just a make to execute... | 11:39 |
| silv3r_m001 | how to rip audio cd ? | 11:39 |
| vatts | agrh *tup* | 11:39 |
| remoteCTRL1 | !rip | silv3r_m001 | 11:39 |
| ubottu | silv3r_m001: For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar | 11:39 |
| vatts | ActionParsnip: i downloaded it, checked md5, used it, then i ordered originals, same shit, not server not live, then i grabbed dapper live and it installed | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: then you need to export something like KERNELSRC=/path/to/stuff or something like that. read the makefile and see what it expects | 11:39 |

| angel_ | Ви не повірите? який я щасливий!!! | 11:40 |
| arand | Paulo39: Yea also, which possibly is a more standard way of doing it, it to Set the $IFS variable, so that whitespaces are not used as separators: see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/handling-filenames-with-spaces-in-bash.html | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | vatts: try disabling pointless hardware in bios, like sound and lan if they are onboard to reduce complication | 11:40 |
| vatts | ActionParsnip: it was not trick in boot options, the drivers he needed for ISA weren't there, so he was confused and didn't boot, server didn't install, that's why! | 11:40 |

| grawity | friendishan: Just buy a VPS, they're cheap. See Linode, Slicehost, whatever. | 12:51 |
| ziroday | zortec: or alternatively pastebin sudo fdisk -l | 12:51 |
| friendishan | lstarnes: anonymity | 12:51 |
| zortec | ziroday: Thanks :) | 12:51 |
| friendishan | grawity: where do i buy a VPS ? | 12:51 |
| grawity | friendishan: I just said. | 12:51 |
| grawity | friendishan: But VPSes only have a single IP. | 12:51 |
| zortec | ziroday: http://pastebin.com/d4522163e | 12:52 |
| friendishan | grawity ok i will search for it on google | 12:52 |
| lstarnes | friendishan: in most cases, even if people do know your IP, if you have a secure, firewalled system, you would usually be safe from attacks | 12:52 |
| ziroday | friendishan: if you buy a VPS you will have to double check what laws protect personal customer information in that country, as the VPS service may still disclose you're name/credit card details etc | 12:52 |
| grawity | friendishan: If you get speed, you lose anonymity. If you get anonymity, you lose speed and convienence. | 12:52 |

| ActionParsnip | rameshwor: no, you must pull down the file again | 12:53 |
| zortec | It is actually labeled XP/NT/2000 bootloader and it takes me into another screen with the blank entry and an XP entry. | 12:53 |

| Slart | bullgard4: which part of the string is #44 connected with.. hostname? kernel name? version? | 13:21 |
| Pici | bullgard4: Its just the kernel 'version' number. Although its more like a compilation revision. Together with the date afterwards it tells you when that kernel was compiled. | 13:21 |
| tend | it worked normally until i changed to ubuntu 9.04 and have only connection with wire | 13:21 |
| geirha | shadeslayer: Package's called apturl, but it should be installed already | 13:21 |
| Pici | bullgard4: uname -v should give you that same info | 13:21 |
| shadeslayer | geirha: its not thats why i ask | 13:21 |
| ipsemet | using a internal DNS (ubuntu 8.04 and bind9) how do i do something like redirect bing.com to google.com so that when a user types www.bing.com they go to www.google.com | 13:21 |

| shadeslayer | geirha: nope..9.04 Kubuntu | 13:22 |
| friendishan | What is tork? | 13:23 |
| shadeslayer | geirha: if i install apturl , it brings a bunch of gnome libraries which i do not want | 13:23 |
| bullgard4 | Slart: I have given you the full output of the command. | 13:24 |
| geirha | shadeslayer: Ah, it uses gtk, so it's probably only preinstalled with ubuntu and xubuntu | 13:24 |
| Slart | bullgard4: uname -a gives you all the information uname provides on one string.. there are switches for only printing out certain parts.. I was wondering which part the #44 appears in | 13:24 |
| friendishan | What is tork? | 13:25 |
| Slart | bullgard4: uname -r only prints out the kernel release number for example.. | 13:25 |

| friendishan | Pici in synaptic package manager the description it's written anonymity manager for KDE | 13:27 |
| Slart | dragon_: isn't there someone doing the packaging of the pidgin package for ubuntu? I supposed there might be some red tape to go through before it's pushed out | 13:27 |
| Pici | friendishan: Indeed. But its also capitalized as TorK and one of the package recommendations is tor | 13:28 |

| bastidrazor | dragon_, you can get the deb here if you don't want to wait.. : http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-Yahoo-problem-in-Pidgin-114754.shtml | 13:28 |
| bullgard4 | Pici: I disagree. I asked for the meaning of '#44-Ubuntu'. This is not the kernel version number. The kernel version number is 2.6.28-13-generic. It is not the date either. The compilation date is Tue Jun 2 07:57:31 UTC 2009. So what is it? | 13:29 |
| friendishan | Pici: so that means TorK and tor are same | 13:29 |
| indy | need some help with vista shares | 13:29 |
| jpds | friendishan: No, one's a client, the other the server. | 13:29 |
| Radtoo | friendishan: no, tork is a tor frontend. | 13:29 |
| veelaze | just installed ubuntu. its not recognising any of my drivers; what do i do? How do i install them? | 13:29 |
| friendishan | radtoo: what's a frontend? | 13:29 |
| Radtoo | tor has both client and server capabilities. Tork is just a graphical interface for kde to control it. | 13:30 |
| geirha | friendishan: « It first helps you to install, configure and use Tor. It then reduces | 13:30 |
| lstarnes | friendishan: an interface to a backend, like tor | 13:30 |
| dragon_ | Slart, bastidrazor: i checked that article and figured out that "pidgin-developers" is doing the packaging. Any idea when will the package make it to the upstream? | 13:30 |
| veelaze | Can someone tell me how to install my drivers please? My resolution is crazy | 13:30 |
| Slart | dragon_: no idea.. a couple of days seems to be the norm | 13:31 |
| Melio | veelaze: what video card do you have | 13:31 |
| bastidrazor | dragon_, no clue. hopefully soon. | 13:31 |
| friendishan | Is it recommanded that i use TorK | 13:31 |
| Slart | dragon_: they still have to test it and so on.. | 13:31 |
| Radtoo | friendishan: a technical term for a program / program part that is interacted with, while the part / program in the backend handles the actual work | 13:31 |
| veelaze | Melio: Im not sure. On Vista; it just said it was called "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"? I think the sound card is fine; not sure. | 13:31 |
| Radtoo | friendishan: If you have kde3.5 by all means do. Otherwise, it depends on your needs. | 13:31 |
| friendishan | thanks^^ for the help! | 13:32 |
| Radtoo | friendishan: tor can of course also be configured with just the command line. | 13:32 |
| dragon_ | Slart, bastidrazor: alright, thanks | 13:32 |
| mobi-sheep | !info tork | 13:32 |
| Melio | veelaze: you would need to find out what hardware specific name your video card is, for the driver to be installed | 13:32 |
| ubott2 | tork (source: tork): anonymity manager for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.30-2 (jaunty), package size 1375 kB, installed size 3884 kB | 13:32 |
| friendishan | and what's privoxy? | 13:32 |
| Melio | why is irc the prefered method of help for this | 13:32 |
| Pici | bullgard4: I find it odd that the man page describes the output of uname -v as the version number as well, thats why I think its some sort of revision number, like that was the 44th time that this particular kernel was compiled for Ubuntu release. | 13:32 |
| Melio | shouldnt this stuff be handled like a doctors office | 13:33 |
| Melio | this way the pros can help the joes in an orderly fashion | 13:33 |

| Melio | veelaze: ok sis mirage 3 sounds right | 13:34 |
| Slart | Pici, bullgard4: checking the kernel package release log seems to suggest that it's a running number for the kernel package | 13:34 |
| Radtoo | friendishan: thats a different thing alltogether. it does some filtering of web pages and data you send to web servers. | 13:34 |
| mobi-sheep | Melio: You mean you want 1-800-Toll-Free Ubuntu Helpline? Nonsense. Lot of phone callers would call to complain about the latest issue -- Yahoo + Pidgin. | 13:34 |
| Melio | Veelaze laptop right? | 13:34 |
| lstarnes | friendishan: privoxy is primarily a filter that can use custom filters to control cookies, block ads, block potentially malicious sites and scripts, and do other things. It is often used with tor and can be accessed like a regular HTTP proxy | 13:34 |
| veelaze | Yeah its a laptop. Im on my PC atm though | 13:35 |

| Radtoo | jerroome: true, it works on non-text files but usually it then does a binary diff, which is just unreadable to the human eye | 14:09 |

| GreyGhost | farchumbre, keep asking here .. ssome guru may turn up and maybe able to help u .. | 15:02 |

| rone | 129 | 15:03 |
| user1 | Kevin' you told about some free providers!!! I think since the amount is getting deducted from sim it;s not free. It's just that I am using a soft phone instead of a handset why should it be a big problem? | 15:03 |

| IsUp | if you looking for VoIP/SIP solutions, take a look to Asterisk | 15:06 |
| Kevin` | user1: btw, you can use ekiga with any service. for ekiga.net's service, you probably need to pay something for the privalage of dialing out. I haven't checked their rates though | 15:07 |
| usr13 | greenkhakis: If you are using gnome, System -> Session | 15:07 |
| Kevin` | user1: on the client side, you just enter the number. the sip: is optional, and the @host is optional (it will use your default provider) | 15:07 |

| Kevin` | user1: you can connect the softphone (ekiga) directly to your provider | 15:09 |
| jamfx | @halitech: here agein | 15:09 |
| Jimi_Neutral | usr13, what do u mean | 15:09 |
| jamfx | you too? | 15:09 |
| Halitech | jamfx, how did you make out? | 15:09 |
| jamfx | YOU ARE MY HERO! | 15:09 |
| Kevin` | user1: the provider bieng ekiga.net in your case. unless you look around for a cheaper one. i'm not sure what their rates are | 15:09 |

| usr13 | Jimi_Neutral: or man nano | 15:14 |
| Halitech | Jimi_Neutral, are you into the sources.list file? | 15:14 |
| Kevin` | user1: you should be able to call your provider to get the numbers. long term, proper services start at like $5/month (conservative) or $0.01/min (accurate) | 15:14 |
| bastidrazor | Jimi_Neutral, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the two lines referring to universe then the two about multiverse | 15:14 |

| usr13 | Jimi_Neutral: What error did you get back? | 15:26 |
| Halitech | Jimi_Neutral, then you should do an update first before installing a lot of stuff | 15:27 |
| creeed | farchumbre, so get some boot-cd and try this | 15:27 |
| Jimi_Neutral | Halitech, im trying, i keep getting failed to fetch | 15:27 |

| Halitech | logic, try audacity | 15:27 |
| usr13 | Jimi_Neutral: Do you have Ubuntu repositories on the laptop? | 15:28 |

| Halitech | logic, yes | 15:28 |
| rsr | ok | 15:28 |
| rsr | I seemed to be able to fix the issue | 15:29 |
| usr13 | Jimi_Neutral: ping ubuntu.com | 15:29 |
| logic | halitech: and audacity works like WinFF | 15:29 |
| logic | ? | 15:29 |
| Jimi_Neutral | Halitech, im following a tutorial so i can download the kubuntu desktop and it says i need the universe repo | 15:29 |
| Radtoo | logic: well, winff just uses ffmpeg, so you can use ffmpeg from the console or many of the other converter apps that exist... | 15:29 |
| revygttam | logic, i believe you can use sound recorder. Just play the music and it will convert | 15:29 |
| rsr | but now I would like to switch primary screen. Is that possible? | 15:29 |

| logic | radtoo: could you explain me how to use ffmpeg? i need a program that lets me convert on the go with ease and speed | 15:30 |
| Jimi_Neutral | its ok i figured it out.....i did the dhclient command but when i rebooted i didnt realsie i had to do it again | 15:30 |
| Jimi_Neutral | i just did it again then ran update and it is updating now | 15:30 |
| revygttam | logic, what do type of files are you converting? | 15:31 |
| Radtoo | logic: ... "ease" is relative, I don't find using ffmpeg on the console complex but I doubt you'll see it the same way? | 15:31 |
| Jimi_Neutral | so eerytime i have to reboot i have to do the dhclient command? or is there a way to save the settings once dhclient has been run | 15:31 |

| znh | hmm what would be the best way to downgrade to Xorg 7.2 channel? | 15:33 |

| usr13 | enzo: You will probably need to reveal the name of the application you are trying to re-install. | 16:04 |
| satch5150 | hello all - I downgraded from gcc-4.3 to gcc-4.2 now because of a problem i was having compiling util_linux - now when I run the configure script for util_linux its telling I don't have any of the required headers or functions, such as inet_aton(), nanosleep(), lchown, etc. = what can I do ? | 16:04 |
| enzo | it's nagiosgrapher usr13 | 16:04 |
| kngharv | usr13: I have a DSL service which i use pppoe to get connect to. I have a pptp service which i use to get around the Chinese Firewall. I use "pppoe" to get connected without problem. I just need to run "pon pptp-profile" again to activate my pptp. I just don't know how to run this pptp (which for all practical purposes is a VPN tunnel) on top of my pppoe connection. | 16:04 |
| usr13 | kngharv: Oh ok... | 16:05 |
| legend2440 | MachinTrucChose: in terminal type mount | 16:05 |
| LF4 | seyacat: I guess I dont understand what you want. | 16:05 |
| usr13 | kngharv: so the pppoe is working, right? | 16:05 |

| satch5150 | those functions I mentioned - aren't they part of libc ? | 16:06 |
| seyacat | LF4: the output of cmd1 its the input of cmd2 and viceverse | 16:06 |
| MachinTrucChose | legend2440: that doesn't give the necessary info, but I finally used the right keywords in google to find a result. "sudo fdisk -l |more" will do it. | 16:06 |
| MachinTrucChose | thanks though | 16:06 |
| usr13 | enzo: Looks to me like you only need to reconfigure the application to do what you want it to do. | 16:06 |

| gmcm | I'm new to Ubuntu. I just want to make sure that I don't need anti-virus software. True? | 16:26 |
| DasEi1 | cozmoz: own the used directories to the regular user or run as root (sudo), better change the dirs | 16:26 |
| sebsebseb | cozmoz: also #winehq is a good channel for help with stuff like that | 16:26 |
| hatter243 | !antivirus | gmcm | 16:26 |
| ubottu | gmcm: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 16:26 |
| n0rax | hello, get anyone the ps3mediaserver app working on ubuntu? :) | 16:26 |
| crashanddie | DasEi1, you're better off recommending dmesg | more | 16:26 |
| sebsebseb | gmcm: indeed you don't need an antivirus at this time, however you should have a user account password that is resasonably secure, and a hardware firewall, if you got a router probably got one built in, that should do it | 16:26 |
| cozmoz | sebsebseb I have looked winehq, it got platinum, there was no answer in the winehq channel at first | 16:27 |
| gmcm | Thanks hatter243 for the link! | 16:27 |
| crashanddie | sebsebseb, i've never heard of a router that didn't act as a hardware firewall by default. Unless you put yourself in the DMZ, there's no reason to presume it doesn't | 16:27 |
| crashanddie | sebsebseb, by its own definition, a router acts as a firewall from external requests | 16:28 |
| sebsebseb | crashanddie: I think some don't have one built in, also some might not have it enabled by default | 16:28 |
| Darck1 | cozmoz: Sounds to me like you don't have permissions from where the install program is located | 16:28 |
| Slart | crashanddie: huh? a router doesn't have to do NAT, or? | 16:28 |
| crashanddie | Slart, when is the last time you saw a "router" that didn't do NAT? I call those modems | 16:28 |
| Slart | crashanddie: I mean most routers do.. but in principal | 16:29 |
| cozmoz | Darck1 yeah, something like that - I think I got it figured out now :), ty | 16:29 |
| garuhhh | hi! is there anyone using jaunty in a laptop? how's hibernate and suspend? on mine, i need to press enter a couple of times before it hibernates/suspends/resume. | 16:29 |
| satch5150 | #gcc guys told me I should be asking here - these include files its saying im missing are actually there, so I presume many of the functions are as well | 16:29 |
| DasEi1 | cozmoz: where are the setup.exe's stored ? | 16:29 |
| Alinn | I downloaded ubuntu 9.04 DVD and try to add it to repositories.but when I type sudo apt-cdrom add the output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/201536/ | 16:29 |
| sebsebseb | garuhhh: hibernate/suspend is one of those things with Linux, where it may not work propelry or at all, or you got to configure | 16:29 |

| DasEi1 | juxious: can you boot live cd ? | 16:30 |
| gmcm | hatter243: I read the link about antivirus you sent. It lists an open source ClamAV and several free commercial versions. Is there one that you would recommend for Linux? | 16:30 |
| garuhhh | sebsebseb: any idea how to start troubleshoting it? | 16:30 |
| juxois | DasEi1: Sure. It works fine there. | 16:30 |
| sebsebseb | gmcm: you don't need one, all those do basically is scan for Windows viruses, which also don't infect Linux distros | 16:31 |
| crashanddie | gmcm, just go with clamav if you feel you need one | 16:31 |
| sebsebseb | garuhhh: how much RAM do you have? they say need double your RAM for swap, to hibernate/suspend | 16:31 |

| crashanddie | The old ways are dead: STOP RECOMMENDING 2x the amount of RAM for your swap size. That is seriously old. People stopped using that calculation whenever people started having more than 2GB of RAM | 16:32 |
| triplc | Slart: no, i use openoffice but it does not work with 2003 XML file | 16:32 |
| sebsebseb | gmcm: Linux distros are not Windows, hence why at this time, you really don't need an antivirus. Oh and if more malware was made for Linux, you would have to install yourself, or have someone malicious cracking your computer and installing it on there | 16:32 |
| juxois | DasEi1: I'll try. thanks. | 16:32 |
| Alinn | When i type sudo apt-key add /cdrom/dists/jaunty/Release.gpg output is:gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. صاثد | 16:32 |
| fryst | gmcm: You don't need antivirus with linux machines; ClampAV's primary purpose is to remove viruses so that Windows boxes will not get infected. | 16:32 |
| DasEi1 | gmcm: if you want to protect files for win, clamav and antivir do | 16:32 |
| LF4 | seyacat: Sorry, I have to do some more research on possible ways to do that. | 16:33 |
| sebsebseb | gmcm: you basically have to know what your doing to get malware installed in a Linux distro, unlike with Windows | 16:33 |
| crashanddie | garuhhh, and you have that when suspending/resuming? | 16:34 |
| crashanddie | garuhhh, do other keys work as well? | 16:34 |

| triplc | Slart: yes, i also read so. but when i open office 2003 xml, it does not work | 16:34 |
| garuhhh | crashanddie: yes i have that.. to resume from suspend, i need to press only the power button, then press enter 5x for it to resume | 16:35 |

| crashanddie | sebsebseb, I can give you an executable that will kill your windows box as much as it'd kill your linux one ;) | 16:37 |
| Slart | gmcm: fortunately openoffice is lagging when it comes to scripting VBscript and what not.. but I'm guessing anything nasty in a vbscript needs to find a way to execute something more system like on the host to do any real damage | 16:37 |
| kdub | Slart: i meant biweekly to mean twice a week, maybe i just dont know that word | 16:37 |
| Alinn | any body don't know? | 16:37 |

| imatech | is minicom the only console access client for linux, and how do I install it? | 16:42 |
| toter | slart, bastidrazor, m using kubuntu 64-bit on vmware running on my 2 gb ram new macbook pro | 16:42 |
| DasEi1 | SauLus: install htop, press F6, list processes | 16:42 |
| BrixSat | [DasEi1] yes why? | 16:43 |
| cc1 | hi. i updated my ubuntu today, and now i got hangups of my firefox and problems with the sound. | 16:43 |
| natschil | imatech: what do you mean with "console access client" ? | 16:43 |
| toter | i'm shocked how fast this thing boots | 16:43 |
| natschil | !ssh > imatech | 16:43 |
| ubottu | imatech, please see my private message | 16:43 |
| bastidrazor | toter, ah.. vmware.. you can't get realistic times from vmware.. i have host ubuntu guest windows 2000 that boots in about 20 seconds. | 16:43 |
| DasEi1 | BrixSat: got mine working by easycam, sound by alsamixer -c (or -c1,c2) > unmute mikro | 16:43 |
| fryst | HippyEwan: I don't know. I suppose it depends on what kind of program/application you were creating? | 16:44 |
| toter | bastidrazor... i am in front of my machine... let me tell you... it is booting fast | 16:44 |
| geirha | maveas: You don't. But "ls | wc -l" Will show the number of files, and "du -hs ." will show the disk usage of the current dir | 16:44 |
| DasEi1 | BrixSat: might google it yourself or I can give you a german link | 16:44 |
| Darck1 | beat me to it geirha - I was gonna say exactly the same thing | 16:45 |
| bastidrazor | toter, i agree, but what i'm saying is vmware isn't going to give you a realistic time .. xp also boots in about 20 seconds. it isn't a true boot per say.. | 16:45 |
| fryst | HippyEwan: You were compiling the program on a Windows platform. That means that it will not run on a Linux box without going through Wine. | 16:45 |
| emil_ | does anyone force banshee to play radio stations? | 16:45 |
| juxois | DasEi1: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't help. As soon as the X server starts, the mouse and keyboard dont work anymore. | 16:45 |
| HippyEwan | No, I compiled it on Linux. | 16:45 |
| cc1 | which log file should i have a look to find out what freezes my firefox? | 16:45 |
| fryst | HippyEwan: Your best bet is to install Code::Blocks on Ubuntu, and compile the program again, on Ubuntu. | 16:46 |
| fryst | HippyEwan: Oh. | 16:46 |
| toter | bastidrazor, I don't understand. Why is it not realistic? My bootchart PNG is displaying 12 seconds | 16:46 |
| DasEi1 | juxois: so when you first boot up live, does the (live's) xorg.conf contain anything ? | 16:46 |
| HippyEwan | That's what I've done. I wrote and compiled it in Code::Blocks on my Ubuntu machine. | 16:46 |
| HippyEwan | Just not sure how to run it from outside Code::Blocks, as double-clicking doesn't work. | 16:46 |
| fryst | HippyEwan: Check the file permissions? | 16:47 |
| === apachelogger is now known as hsitter | ||
| juxois | DasEi1: I haven't looked. I just chrooted the partition and ran the command you said. | 16:47 |
| sdesai | hello all...i have recently dual booted xp and jaunty, however i cannot get my wireless to work | 16:47 |
| geirha | cc1: Run firefox from a terminal, and see what messages it prints when it freezes | 16:47 |
| HippyEwan | The permissions look fine to me | 16:48 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | sdesai | 16:48 |
| ubottu | sdesai: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:48 |
| chicken1 | my xorg.conf is practically empty, it has the "device", "monitor" and "screen" sections but they are all "default screen" or "configured video device" and that's it. How am I supposed to edit it? | 16:48 |
| bastidrazor | toter, i'm saying it wrong. it does boot that fast but it is different as if it were installed as the host. | 16:48 |
| bastidrazor | toter, in vmware it doesn't have to do the hardware checks what-not on boot.. it is running from a file | 16:48 |
| imatech | I need a hyperterminal alternative for accessing cisco routers | 16:49 |
| toter | bastidrazor, it is different. But it doesn't mean it is fake | 16:49 |
| imatech | is miniterm the only alternative? | 16:49 |
| DasEi1 | juxois: the idea was to use the (working) one from the live cd, the given command was (in live) for the (normal) case of an empty xorg.conf (jaunty) | 16:49 |
| toter | bastidrazor, if I could run natively, I would get the same result | 16:50 |
| bastidrazor | toter, not fake.. but not realistic. | 16:50 |
| bastidrazor | toter, i doubt it. | 16:50 |
| DasEi1 | !pm > cozmoz | 16:50 |

| Hilikus | does anyone know if its possible to configure logwatch or any log processing app to email me a log report ONLY if there is something suspicious? i don't want to get an email every day for normal stuff | 16:50 |
| Arelis | Hello people. I have a question, however it's very long so i'm typing it after i have typed this. Please do read it: | 16:50 |
| bastidrazor | toter, the box i'm on now is 64bit. abou 40 seconds boot time | 16:50 |
| Arelis | I bought Mac OS X about a year ago, but i'm curious as to how much Ubuntu has improved and if it is finally ready for use for me. I like a lot of things in Ubuntu better than in Mac OS X, such as the text editor, openoffice, etcetera. But i lose the KeyNote program, which is useful for creating flashy presentations, and games are not an issue, because i have a playstation 3. I want to try out Ubuntu but it's very unsafe to do so on a Macintosh, | 16:50 |
| Arelis | so how do i install it as a dual-boot partition? | 16:50 |
| sdesai | ubottu: thanks for the link...but i have tried to configure my wireless...however whenever i try to activate my broadcom wireless driver, it just shows the red sign in error | 16:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:50 |
| sdesai | thanks for the link...but i have tried to configure my wireless...however whenever i try to activate my broadcom wireless driver, it just shows the red sign in error | 16:51 |
| toter | arelis: why ubuntu is unsafe to run on a macintosh? | 16:51 |
| Arelis | toter: Not to run, more to install. Problems with the HFS+ partition. | 16:51 |
| toter | arelis: why don't you use vmware or parallels? | 16:51 |
| cozmoz | the setup.exe is at the DVD of the game | 16:52 |
| HippyEwan | fryst: the file permissions look fine to me, and it happens with any program I make. an app using SDL briefly flashes a window on the screen but then dissapears. | 16:52 |
| cozmoz | how do I change premissions there? :/ root owns them, so I can't change them | 16:52 |
| OrEvA | I am using ubuntu 8.04 and I am not able to connect to any chat network through pidgin I just shows connecting and nothing happens | 16:52 |
| Arelis | toter: Because that's only for temporarily trying it out and makes it run very slow and it doesn't have 3d | 16:52 |
| HippyEwan | they all work fine when I run them from inside Code::Blocks | 16:52 |
| toter | arelis: very slow? check this out: http://img35.yfrog.com/img35/4968/toterdesktopjaunty20090.png | 16:52 |
| Slart | toter: I get 15 seconds on a fresh install of jaunty in virtualbox.. without any tweaking | 16:52 |
| dj_segfault | OrEvA: How did you just post that message then? | 16:52 |
| bastidrazor | toter, have you ever seen an xp boot in 20 seconds? | 16:53 |
| toter | arelis: 12-second boot using vmware | 16:53 |
| Xpistos|work | No xD takers huh? Oh well | 16:53 |
| OrEvA | dj_segfault : Xchat | 16:53 |
| juxois | DasEi1: Both config files have the same content. It seems like something is broken. | 16:53 |
| Arelis | toter: Yeah but it's not really suited for use, eh? I mean, if you want to use Ubuntu as your main operating system. | 16:53 |
| dj_segfault | OrEvA: Did you try turning logging on? | 16:53 |
| Guest57460 | Hello | 16:53 |
| mbnoimi | how I can get full dependencies list for specific application? I'm planning to build a standalone binary package | 16:53 |
| toter | bastidrzor: do you know a program in windows that I can measure that? You know, it displays a graphic or something? | 16:54 |
| Slart | Xpistos|work: you mean xD as in the memory card used in cameras? | 16:54 |
| Xpistos|work | Slart: yep. that is the one. | 16:54 |
| OrEvA | dj_segfault : Yes, and I tried for yahoo and gtalk ............ both not working | 16:54 |
| Slart | Xpistos|work: I've used those .. in a multi-reader thingy.. cheapest kind.. works the same way as any other card | 16:54 |
| bastidrazor | toter, no, i only use windows OSes in vmware. too unstable/unsafe | 16:54 |
| DasEi1 | juxois: anything special about these devices ? usb ? | 16:55 |
| Pici | mbnoimi: apt-cache depends packagename also, apt-cache showsrc packagename should tell you the build-depends (apt-get build-dep to install those) | 16:55 |
| Xpistos|work | Slart: Can't get it to work. SD is fine, but not my xD. Yeah, but ubuntu has a problem with the Ricoh multicard readers but only the xD flavor | 16:55 |
| toter | bastidrazor: i'm going to do some tests. I'll get windows xp 64... I think my macbook can boot xp on vmware in 25-30 seconds... just guessing | 16:55 |
| mbnoimi | Pici: no, the application what I'm looking for its dep. is not in apt list | 16:56 |
| bastidrazor | toter, as i stated earlier.. boot times in vmware are not realistic. | 16:56 |
| Guest57460 | I need help with re-stating my Wired Connection in Ubuntu 9.04. Anything would be really appreciated. | 16:56 |

| Swiftfeet_8 | Tried, but I keep getting timeout errors with it | 16:57 |
| Slart | Swiftfeet_8: oh.. searched in synaptic for voip / sip ? | 16:58 |
| Swiftfeet_8 | Slart I've also tried Twinkle | 16:58 |
| mathew | is there any way to disable ipv6 in Jaunty? | 16:58 |
| HippyEwan | Can anybody tell me how to run a program I wrote in Code::Blocks by just clicking its icon? | 16:58 |

| Rosuto | how can I tell if this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrotherDriverPackaging is current for the current version of ubuntu | 16:59 |
| Swiftfeet_8 | defrysk: I tried Twinkle, but I get the same error 408 timeout | 16:59 |
| toter | bastidrazor: this concept of virtualization is interesting. If I can run Linux faster on vmware, not just the boot times but everything, why run it natively? | 16:59 |
| defrysk | swiatOFF, dang | 16:59 |
| mbnoimi | Pici: in AM$ windows there is a freeware tool for getting dep. of specific application, but because I left windows forever I couldn't find alternative to this tool | 16:59 |
| usr13 | HippyEwan: Create a launcher for it. | 16:59 |
| Slart | toter: boot.. not run | 16:59 |
| Swiftfeet_8 | defrysk: are you using Twinkle with a SIP account | 16:59 |

| sebsebseb | Rosuto: I guess it will be ok, looking at the last edited date at the bottom of the page | 17:00 |
| toter | slart: Linux has booted and it is running on my machine | 17:00 |
| mathew | defrysk: tried that,doesn't work | 17:00 |
| bastidrazor | toter, it still takes the same resources to load apps and run.. boot times are different than running the OS | 17:01 |
| defrysk | hmm , no issues here | 17:01 |
| Arelis | toter: I mean using Ubuntu for playing my media, using instant messaging, browsing the web, and so on. And recording music, and creating presentations, and homework. | 17:01 |
| Arelis | toter: And sometimes going back to mac os x when i need a specific program/featre | 17:01 |
| Arelis | feature | 17:01 |
| Slart | toter: but sure.. if everything is faster while running virtualized then by all means.. go ahead.. do that.. but it's offtopic here.. talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic instead | 17:01 |

| VCoolio | Tophu: you can hit ctrl+alt+f1 to get in virtual console and kill x (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) and install your drivers? | 17:25 |
| Slart | coj: if the computer is still running try installing the packages again | 17:25 |
| unop | gggg, it will try and resume from where it left off .. but there's no guarantee that it will do it properly | 17:25 |

| Tophu | @VC: tried that but this is my first ati card ever so I don't know where to get the drivers | 17:26 |
| Radtoo | coj: if you can still boot (udev would have been worse) just install it. might need to configure networking or such manually tho. | 17:26 |
| coj | tried apt-getting, the packages don't exist? | 17:26 |
| gggg | unop, ok,thanks for your information | 17:26 |

| Slart | Ahsen: there are channel guidelines.. see the /topic | 18:01 |
| Thib_ | bill-e1: I am on a system where the most I can do is upgrade whatever comes down the Update Manager but not otherwise. But at least I know a later update is in the pipe -- shadeslayer's suggestion worked for now | 18:01 |

| mdm | amseidler: without knowing what card you have I can guess its simply a buffer issue. Audio chip makers create chips with very little or no memory buffers (because its vastly cheaper) and emulate this in drivers. In windows you would be supprised at how much a driver is actually doing the real job of the hardware. I suspect you have one of those audio cards and you need to increase uyour buffers | 18:37 |

| joaopinto | bieb, that is not accurate, 32bits can use 4 GB if you use a kernel supports it | 19:12 |

| MenZa | DShepherd→ Check with the motus, #ubuntu-motu (the packagers) | 19:12 |
| sebsebseb | !yahoo | DShepherd | 19:12 |
| ubottu | DShepherd: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. | 19:13 |
| cabrey | mdm, i really do stink at explaining things :P | 19:13 |
| Mkdir | aqui hablan español? | 19:13 |
| cabrey | !es | 19:13 |

| cabrey | !fstab | meatlover | 19:13 |
| meatlover | i am on 9.04 | 19:13 |
| ubottu | meatlover: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 19:13 |

| tuxx | Evening folks. Ubuntu Jaunty.. Nvidia or ATI (recent cards in scope) ? | 19:21 |
| tuxx | Will ATI work or give me headaches? | 19:21 |
| edem1 | DeCypher1: try your own style ! | 19:21 |
| jon678 | ati cheaper for same speed, nvidia can go faster | 19:21 |
| taxman | FFMike: yeah it's usually pretty packed in here | 19:21 |
| nahira | magnetron: I want to import characters into database (mysql) from textfields (web) | 19:21 |
| DeCypher1 | cabrey: yes i did that, b ut i cant get the windows list style, liek teh windows list uses icons with no text | 19:22 |
| tuxx | jon678: I'm looking for something that works and is "100%" stable. Will either suffice? | 19:22 |
| FFMike | tax- that's great, because this is my first attempt at linux.. I used to be quite the geek but now I just stick to windows because I'm lazy.. | 19:22 |
| joaopinto | nahira, better ask on a channel matching the language you are using, maybe #php ? | 19:22 |
| taxman | FFMike: no experience with that machine, but it's usually better to just ask what you're trying to do | 19:22 |
| cabrey | DeCypher1, this isn't windows, I'm happy to say | 19:22 |
| magnetron | nahira: if your textfields are coded in UTF-8 the characters can be Syriac or any other character | 19:22 |
| FFMike | i'm just curious if it will work. There was a post regarding the video drivers on the forums, but it was referencing 7.10 | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | tuxx: Nividia is usually better on Linux I think, even though for full graphics card suppourt a propritary driver would need to be installed | 19:23 |
| Nirrad1st | joaopinto: ok sounds like a good suggestion. Thank you . and edem1 that looks like a good command also thank you very much. Is there a command I need after the install to counter that. Or do I just " sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" after driver install? | 19:23 |
| === jp is now known as Guest50575 | ||
| mare | Sajo | 19:23 |
| jon678 | tuxx: touch and go with either i fear. nvidia was great up to 8.10, for some reason two screens as seperate x sessions is flatly refusing to work for me now but everything else looks good | 19:23 |

| FFMike | i tried running the netbook remix off a flash drive and all i got was the cmd prompt, so I'm nervous about installing the full version if it won't work. | 19:24 |
| joaopinto | xim_, if you mean a paid developer, check Canonical page for job offerings | 19:24 |
| jon678 | tuxx: cant comment on ati from firsthand, id read enough stories about their linux support being crap that i just use nvidia instead | 19:24 |
| shadeslayer | how do i use gfxboot ? | 19:24 |
| nahira | magnetron: they are but when they get imported to my tables they are imported like: "ܝ$#1835" | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | tuxx: well as long as you don't get some Intel graphics card or SIS you should be ok | 19:24 |
| xiven | No, I mean volunteer | 19:24 |
| xiven | I'm not good enough to be a paid developer yet | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | tuxx: well Intel can be ok depends | 19:24 |
| taxman | FFMike: hard to say, best thing to do is to try a livecd. does it have a CD drive? | 19:24 |
| magnetron | nahira: html escaped? | 19:24 |
| FFMike | yeah | 19:24 |
| joaopinto | xiven, http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate | 19:25 |
| jon678 | intel graphics is not the answer on ubuntu | 19:25 |
| FFMike | tax - yeah it has a cd | 19:25 |
| taxman | try that | 19:25 |
| FFMike | tax - is livecd similar to running the remix/flash drive deal? | 19:25 |
| shadeslayer | ill brb | 19:25 |
| tuxx | jon678 and sebsebseb, it's a AMD 790 mobo and I "feel" ATI graphics will run better on that combo but it's just a gut-feeling. | 19:25 |
| taxman | FFMike: is this really a netbook? eitherway, livecd is similar to the flash drive deal yes, but well supported | 19:25 |
| FFMike | no it's not a netbook at all | 19:25 |
| FFMike | actually :P | 19:26 |
| taxman | that could be part of your issue | 19:26 |
| nahira | magnetron: what do you mean? | 19:26 |
| jon678 | tuxx: matching board brand to card means nothing, as either card conforms to atx spec. its nice to have hardware matching though | 19:26 |
| FFMike | i actually misread it and thought it was for all notebooks | 19:26 |
| FFMike | alright well as soon as the wife gets home with some cd's I'll oad up the live cd | 19:26 |
| magnetron | nahira: you'll have to try to find what component is converting your text into HTML code | 19:26 |
| FFMike | until that point, if I'm just running live-cd, I don't need to worry about cleaning off my second partition right? | 19:26 |
| cabrey | DeCypher1, read this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036922 | 19:26 |
| cabrey | 9 pages | 19:26 |
| taxman | as I understand it it has some hardware specific stuff for netbooks on the netbook remix | 19:26 |
| taxman | FFMike: exactly, that's what the livecd gets you | 19:27 |
| FFMike | gotcha, makes sense.. | 19:27 |
| jon678 | tuxx: nvidia do hybrid sli which is nice if a touch odd, ati/amd might do something similar. i vote ati, simply because they're so much cheaper than nvidia these days and driver support for either camp is pretty solid | 19:27 |
| |Ryan | Who was speaking to me about 5 minutes ago? | 19:27 |
| FFMike | I think if i like this, I'll probably end up getting a netbook for ubuntu.. a nice one out there for $250 right now.. | 19:27 |
| mbeierl | anyone know how to have gvfs start for a user with -o allow_other? I'm trying to allow a VMWare virtual machine to access my .gvfs shares via the shared folders | 19:27 |
| cabrey | FFMike, make sure you don't get the SSD variety | 19:27 |
| tuxx | jon678: Thanks. I think I'll give it a try. Afterall it's not an old card gone legacy, so maybe my mileage will hold up. | 19:28 |
| Nirrad1st | FFMike you might also look into a cheap 4 gig flash drive to test installtions. with UNetbootin it is very convienient | 19:28 |
| FFMike | of course, if ubuntu makes this laptop run cooler and longer off a battery charge, i might not have a need to get a netbook | 19:28 |
| nahira | magnetron: my php import it into my database and i echo it on screen and it gets desplay correctly | 19:28 |
| Slart | |Ryan: djfjnd | 19:28 |
| taxman | FFMike: that or you may really like it on your main laptop. It will run much faster after really install it to the hard drive compared to running from a livecd | 19:28 |
| FFMike | I have a 4gig with the netbook remix mounted on it currently, sadly it didn't work on my laptop | 19:28 |
| |Ryan | Oh, he's gone. | 19:28 |

| cabrey | Galbadore, go to 8.04 rather than 8.10 | 19:35 |
| cabrey | !LTS | Galbadore | 19:36 |
| ubottu | Galbadore: 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 Heron 8.04) | 19:36 |
| magnetron | Galbadore: some things are just to old for us to support. 7.10 is one of them | 19:36 |

| usrl | Slart, no problem, i'll try those ms fonts, however the subpixel options made everything a lot nicer | 19:42 |
| Guest24183 | Someone help please i updated my aplications and now my screen is not completely filled just shows two black bars at side | 19:43 |
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone tell me how i can add tasks in tasksel to install the metaapackages i create | 19:43 |
| nahira | magnetron: sorry I'm very new to ubuntu so bear with me. where is the keyboard settings? | 19:43 |
| pier_ | /join #ubuntu-it | 19:43 |
| Slart | usrl: look at the installed size of it.. it's just an empty package.. it just depends on a lot of other stuff.. so it's a faster way to install all the packages installed by default in the ubuntu-desktop | 19:43 |
| Faethin | I'm trying out this neat GBA emulator, Visual Boy Advance. The sound is coming out all scratchy. While I thought it might be my sound driver (a generic one) all other apps that use the driver work fine. What might be the problem? | 19:43 |
| pier_ | sorry? | 19:43 |
| taxman | leejongwook: yes, you have a broken package. I'm no package wizard, but some googling should show you how to get rid of that and get your packages cleaned up | 19:43 |

| Tophu | I'm a happy Tophu | 19:43 |
| pier_ | FloodBot1, ita | 19:43 |
| brennus | Faethin: it could be the ROM you are using | 19:44 |
| usrl | Slart, well, the question is if apt-get remove will also kill all the packages within that metapackage | 19:44 |
| Slart | usrl: you should reinstall ubuntu-desktop before updating to a newer version of ubuntu though.. but until then it doesn't really matter | 19:44 |

| mdm | gangil: your cpu has the ability to change its speed and save power and generate less heat. It is a function of the CPU chip. That chip, left to its own, will scale its speed according to how much its being used. Linux gives you a way to see what that CPU is doing. It also gives you a way to tell it NOT to do it autmaticly and to manipulate it yourself. Its pruly a function of the cpu and the utilties to talk to it | 19:49 |

| brennus | Faethin: gotcha. I think it may just be how visual boy works on ubuntu right now. I'm checking a bunch of my roms, and they're all scratchy.

| Faethin | brennus, not very noticeably, but it does | 19:52 |

| brennus | Faethin: it's an emulator thing. In visualboy, go to options > frameskip and you can either select a set number, or > throttle and select a percentage of the normal speed you want it to run at, from 25% to 200%, or custom. | 19:54 |

The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | desja004, just an FYI if you choose to use NFS you might have to add "INSECURE" option -- that was the only way I could get OS X to connect. Good luck. | 20:02 |
| FFMike | i'm running livecd to see how i like this before I install, and I'm having difficulty connecting evolution to gmail | 20:02 |
| FFMike | is this because I'm on livecd or is there an issue there I'm missing | 20:02 |

| cabrey | FFMike, well I wouldnt put your settings on a livecd... | 20:02 |
| tiyowan | !fr | reckford | 20:02 |
| FFMike | it simply wont connect | 20:02 |
| moltof | Could someone help me fix my now sound problem? | 20:03 |
| cabrey | FFMike, what settings are you putting in? | 20:03 |
| mdm | oshekfeh: bad sector repair is called mark it bad and trash anything that was on it, replace the hard drive now, and hope no more sectors go bad before you can salvage whatever is left | 20:03 |
| FFMike | login/password/server | 20:03 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: what server? | 20:03 |
| FFMike | gmail | 20:03 |
| FFMike | actually no password yet | 20:03 |
| FFMike | can't get that far | 20:03 |
| cabrey | FFMike, for IMAP server: imap.gmail.com, SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com | 20:03 |
| cabrey | FFMike, username is youremail@gmail.com | 20:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | FFMike, you need to verify in Web gmail that you have POP/IMAP allowed - then verify in Evolution that you are using the proper Encryption/server setting | 20:04 |
| oshekfeh | mdm: thanks for your response, but Please explain more, do you mean that there are no solution for bad sector except replacing the harddisk?? | 20:04 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: You need to enable POP or IMAP from gmail and use the appropriate settings in evolution | 20:04 |
| FFMike | pop/imap is allowed, i access it through outlook on windows | 20:04 |
| FFMike | and I will continue searching for the proper settings | 20:04 |
| cabrey | oshekfeh, no bad sectors are normal only when you have tons of them should you replace it | 20:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | FFMike, then check the Encryption settings | 20:04 |
| mdm | oshekfeh: yes bad sectors mean its already failing, and will only get worse | 20:04 |
| cabrey | oshekfeh, the FS manages them by marking them as such and disallowing them to be used in the future | 20:05 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: Are you using POP or IMAP? | 20:05 |
| FFMike | pop via outlook | 20:05 |
| oshekfeh | cabrey: so if I have harddisk errors, how can fix errors, Is this mean that I need to replace the harddisk?? | 20:05 |

| oshekfeh | cabrey: I specify 20 GB for ubuntu, 700 MB for swap, and 9 GB for / and 10 GB for /home, and when I started to install ubuntu I have the following error messages: 1 - File system has an incompatible feature enabled. Compatible features are has_journal, dir_index, filetype, sparse_super and large_file. Use tune2fs or debugfs to remove features. 2 - The test of the file system with type ext2 in partition #9 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected erro | 20:42 |

| ZykoticK9 | oshekfeh, ext2 doesn't support journal - that's ext3 -- hope that helps | 20:42 |
| chocobanana | joecool169: tell us what ails you | 20:43 |
| === bgates is now known as procrastinator | ||

| jsteel | ok. Thanks. | 20:43 |
| Slart | zleap: diff ? | 20:44 |
| FFMike | and i can't see the option to do it | 20:44 |
| zleap | ah | 20:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | oshekfeh, i'd recommend it over ext2 which is rather old | 20:44 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: you need some help with partitioning buddy? | 20:44 |

| gletob | Is there a program that could make a list of all the installed programs I have? | 20:44 |

| laeg | i have no sound since upgrading to 9.04, restarted a few times which normally fixes it and also confirmed the speaker were on and working etc - how can i remedy this? | 20:45 |
| chocobanana | jsteel: oh... you said 9.10... so it does not recognize the HDDs? | 20:45 |

| taxman | gmcm: did you get the fonts you wanted? | 20:45 |
| gmcm | no | 20:45 |
| SAMER | sorry | 20:46 |
| jsteel | chocobanana: No. It just asks about if I want to enable RAID or not, then when you get to the partition menu there is nothing to select. The weirdest part is that desktop edition will detect them fine, but server edition wont. | 20:46 |
| gmcm | not sure where to find them | 20:46 |
| mbeierl | mipnamic: only if you give us details about your question :) | 20:46 |

| taxman | gmcm: in the terminal, run sudo aptitude install ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 20:46 |
| oshekfeh | Cabrey: It gaved me the previous errors, but as Zykotick9 said this problem happen from using ext2 | 20:46 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: In order to install Ubuntu, you need to parition your drive. Don't use Windows-based partitioning tools to create partitions on which you're going to install Ubuntu. | 20:46 |
| SAMER | what it should to be | 20:46 |
| taxman | that package will install the fonts you are used to | 20:46 |
| laeg | i have no sound since upgrading to 9.04, restarted a few times which normally fixes it and also confirmed the speaker were on and working etc - how can i remedy this? | 20:46 |
| cabrey | oshekfeh, yea you should be using ext3, not sure how you managed to use ext2 | 20:46 |
| cabrey | !enter > SAMER | 20:47 |
| ubottu | SAMER, please see my private message | 20:47 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: Boot into Ubuntu from the Live CD and click on Install. Use the partitioning tool in the installer to do set up your partitions. :) | 20:47 |
| FFMike | ok do I need to format my new partition to ntfs or fat32? | 20:47 |
| joecool169 | no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 20:47 |
| FFMike | for ubuntu? | 20:47 |
| oshekfeh | Cabrey: Ok, thanks, I will try. | 20:47 |
| gmcm | taxman: thanks. Sorry for another dumb question. By terminal, what do you mean? | 20:47 |
| taxman | FFMike: for ubuntu you want ext3, but Windows tools wont do that for you | 20:47 |
| joecool169 | can I disable the join quit messages somehow? | 20:48 |
| FFMike | so.. what do I format it to in the interim? | 20:48 |
| taxman | gmcm: go to applications -> accessories -> terminal | 20:48 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: okay, here's a very basic summary of the types of file systems. ntfs is windows-only. ext3 and ext4 are for linux. fat16/fat32 partitions can be easily accessed by both linux and windows. And you need a swap partition as well | 20:48 |

| n0gear | joecool169: /ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits | 20:48 |
| chocobanana | jsteel: because I'm unsure what may be the problem, what I would do is try installing the Ubuntu minimal installation and once finished install the server packages you need | 20:48 |
| mipnamic | mbeierl, sorry, not my tmp, my var/log | 20:48 |
| FFMike | and I imagine when I install ubuntu it will reformat my drive to ext3? | 20:48 |
| mbeierl | mipnamic: /var/log is tmpfs? | 20:48 |
| cabrey | FFMike, no it resizes your HDD | 20:49 |
| mbeierl | mipnamic: and you want a specific folder created in it at each reboot? | 20:49 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: You can choose from the installer whether you want to it use your entire drive, or just install alongside Windows. | 20:49 |
| jsteel | chocobanana: how do I install the ubuntu minimal installation? You mean install desktop with the least amount of options? | 20:49 |

| eremite | . I've downloaded the tar.gz file, what now? | 20:51 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: In linux, it's not enough to just create a partition and a file system - in order for it to be accessible by Ubuntu, you need to use mount points. | 20:52 |
| Vock | Just had a question about mounting labels: I have some partitions that aren't automounted, and I was wondering how to change the mountpoint names? | 20:52 |
| rapsli | but always when I turn on the mic, on closing my selection gets los | 20:52 |
| FFMike | so I'm creating a 10 gig partition to install ubuntu on, a 50gig for other stuff, and a 2 gig partition to be used as a swap file? | 20:52 |
| joecool169 | Did anyone see what message I got on my wireless? | 20:52 |
| cabrey | FFMike, swap partition | 20:52 |
| tiyowan | FFMike: Exactly. Now about mount points. | 20:52 |
| laeg | i have no sound since upgrading to 9.04, restarted a few times which normally fixes it and also confirmed the speaker were on and working etc - how can i remedy this? | 20:52 |
| mdm | Vock: assuming you still have them in fstab its the second column in the entry for that partition | 20:52 |
| taxman | eremite: well the standard then is to unpack the tarfile and look for installation instructions in it | 20:52 |
| cabrey | !pm > P00Ps | 20:52 |

| mdm | Vock: do you want to simply mount them by hand? mount /dev/whatever /mnt/point | 20:54 |
| mbeierl | mipnamic: I only used easypeasy for a short while for my daughter's netbook, then changed to ubuntu netbook remix for 9.04, so I don't remember much about it, but I /think/ the rc.local might be your best bet. I'm sure the other packages have some sort of mkdir in their startups somewhere, but apache does not | 20:54 |
| taxman | laeg: sound is a big topic, have you tried googling and looking at the ubuntu community docs on sound troubleshooting? | 20:54 |
| mipnamic | mbeierl, I'll solve with it :) I hope | 20:54 |
| mbeierl | mipnamic: the other approach, which I do not recommend, would be to modify the apache startup to mkdir itself | 20:54 |

| Vock | mdm: So currently the disk /dev/sda3 is called 23.2 GB drive, I'd like to rename it to 'Music' | 20:57 |
| mdm | Vock: thats a FS thing not a disk thing | 20:57 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: So when you're installing Ubuntu, create three paritions. Two ext3, and one swap. Then set the mount point for one ext3 parition as /, and the other one as /home, and you're all set up. | 20:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | Vock, "sudo e2label /dev/sda3 Music" | 20:57 |

| hero_nocturnal | how can i make a short cut to my root directory | 20:58 |
| FFMike | i have 15gigs set aside for ubuntu + swap partition, created via windows and formatted ntfs | 20:58 |
| Vock | mdm: thanks for the help | 20:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Vock, that does assume that it's ext2 or ext3 | 20:58 |
| FFMike | do I delete thse and leave that 15 gig as unallocated space? | 20:58 |
| mdm | Vock: ZykoticK9 found the command first I was looking at tune2fs (which is another way to do it) | 20:58 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: You can delete partitions from the Ubuntu installer. | 20:58 |
| Vock | mdm, ZykoticK9: I think i found the same site mentions e2label, ntfsprogs and for all other filesystems, perfect | 20:59 |
| FFMike | so I'm creating a 2 gig swap partition, and 2 partitions for ubuntu, how big will those be? | 20:59 |
| mbeierl | hero_nocturnal: they're called "symbolic links" and there are a few ways of making them. Please describe in a little more detail what you mean by "root": the root user or "/" | 20:59 |

| tiyowan_ | FFMike: A 10 gig ext3 / (root) parition should be plenty for all your applications, and for /home make it as big as you want. | 21:00 |
| gmcm | taxman: Sorry to bother you again. Regarding the fonts, I'm in the terminal as you suggested, but I can remember what to do next. | 21:00 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: You can resize your partitions later on, so don't freak out over it | 21:00 |
| hero_nocturnal | <mbeierl>: yupp actually its tiring to everytime open my user directory, so can i make a link for it | 21:00 |
| FFMike | well I need to unallocate the proper amount of space before I start | 21:00 |
| ktlr | i mean it when i typed the next command: fdisk -l the results was the next : /dev/sda but my winchester isnt sata | 21:00 |
| FFMike | at least from windows | 21:00 |
| cabrey | scorpy, what's the issue? | 21:00 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: How much free space do you have now? | 21:01 |
| FFMike | will the drive mounting/swap partition be self explanitory once I'm in the installation process? | 21:01 |
| mbeierl | hero_nocturnal: sorry - "it's trying"? What is the "it" to which you are referring, please? | 21:01 |

| P00Ps | i need abit of help i change the screen resolution and refresh rate and now my screen is all fuzzy and u cant see anything how can i fix it | 21:01 |
| randall | tiyowan, i dont think you can resize ntfs filesystems | 21:01 |
| mbeierl | hero_nocturnal: something like Nautilus, or another program? | 21:01 |
| tiyowan_ | randall: But you can delete them. | 21:01 |
| taxman | sudo aptitude install ttf-mscorefonts-installer will get just the fonts or sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras will get the other stuff like video codecs, etc along with the fonts | 21:01 |
| hero_nocturnal | <mbeierl>: for example to /home/users/someuser | 21:01 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: That's more than enough. | 21:01 |
| scorpy | i would like to know if theres a good I.M. for file sharing, yahoo has stopped workin with pigin | 21:01 |
| mdm | vraa: yes smartctl -s /dev/sd? the idea of smart is to tell you BEFORE it fails tho | 21:01 |

| cabrey | rsr, didn't work? | 21:02 |
| dakarn | scorpy: worked for me =) | 21:02 |
| randall | cabrey, i wish someone would have told me that. but how can you do it when not installing ubuntu | 21:02 |
| FFMike | well i don't plan on using all 70 gig.. so I'll leave 20gig aside for ubuntu.. can I still access files off my ntfs partitions while running ubuntu? | 21:02 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Yeah, Ubuntu has a nice graphical installer. | 21:02 |

| tiyowan_ | FFMike: You can use access data on your windows partition from Ubuntu | 21:02 |
| FFMike | (20 gig for the two ubuntu mounts and the swap partition) | 21:02 |
| FFMike | ok | 21:02 |
| rsr | cabrey: It doesnt seem to be mapped since I cant map anything to it on "keyboard shortcuts" | 21:02 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: So it's going to be like this ok... | 21:03 |
| MuteBones | Erm, i have a problem: I accidentally unintalled network-manager | 21:03 |
| mbeierl | hero_nocturnal: I am sorry I am not quite following this yet. You would like to have a shortcut for the other user's directory (/home/users/someuser) on your Desktop, or in your home directory, or use it instead of your home directory? | 21:03 |
| cabrey | rsr, it said something about a module, so it might be a kernel module | 21:03 |
| randall | cabrey, i searched several forums and how-to's. ntfs resizing is not supported | 21:03 |
| mdm | vraa: is this LVM? md? what does /proc/mdstat say? | 21:03 |
| cabrey | randall, try using the ntfs-3g package | 21:03 |
| mbeierl | MuteBones: ?!? accidentally ;) | 21:03 |
| vraa | no, it's hardware (onboard mobo) raid, i have no tinstalled OS yet - let me boot up ubuntu live cd and i will get back to you | 21:03 |
| randall | cabrey, right, thats what i was pointed to but i never got it to work | 21:03 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: When you come to the partitioning step in the installation process. Select the Manual option, and create your partitions. Then set their file systems (two ext3 and one swap), and then set one ext3 mount point as /, and one ext3 as /home, and then you're all set | 21:03 |
| mbeierl | MuteBones: you cannot re-install now because your network is down? | 21:03 |
| randall | cabrey, thats why i said "supported" lol | 21:04 |
| MuteBones | @mbeierl Yeah. | 21:04 |
| fccf | randall & cabrey: It's a lie... I have resized hundreds of NTFS partitions | 21:04 |
| randall | fccf, "possible" does not equal "supported" | 21:04 |
| mdm | vraa: depending on the array you may need to present volumes from it, which will be seen as disks to the OS. Most of them require some sort of driver | 21:04 |
| tiyowan_ | randall: I really don't like to play around with ntfs partitions using linux tools anyway | 21:04 |
| randall | fccf, we are not all computer gods here | 21:04 |
| FFMike | word, thanks tiy | 21:04 |
| cabrey | fccf, don't tell me, I know I can resize NTFS :) | 21:04 |
| FFMike | can i just leave that 20gig unnallocated for now for the install | 21:05 |

| cabrey | eject* | 21:05 |
| mdm | rsr: the command is called eject | 21:05 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: No worries. Sure. All you need going into the installation process is some unallocated space. | 21:05 |
| MuteBones | @mbeierl How do I check that? | 21:05 |

| taxman | jsteel: usually it's better to just ask about what you want to do | 21:07 |
| mdm | gribouille: that you have too many plugins for firefox | 21:07 |
| gribouille | mdm, are you sure ? | 21:07 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Main problems are wireless cards and graphics cards really. | 21:07 |

| cabrey | joecool169, what version of ubuntu? | 21:09 |
| mdm | gribouille: keep in mind aside from X itself firefox is on the the most resource grabbing apps you have. the more plugins you give it, the slower the drivers you give it, will multiply how slow it is overall. | 21:09 |

| imbezol | on my desktop i just noticed the power plug in my panel and clicking it allows me to suspend or hibernate. this just appeared and it's a desktop system. anyone know why and how to get rid of it? | 21:28 |
| FFMike | ok gotcha | 21:28 |
| === derive is now known as _derive | ||
| Darael | GreaterCoreQuad: I'm pretty sure one package for dhcpd is "dhcp" | 21:28 |
| FFMike | and doing the side by side, ubuntu will create that swap partition itself, so if I do it manual I need to do that | 21:28 |
| cabrey | imbezol, System > Preferences > Power Management | 21:28 |
| guntbert | xiong: now reload the "repo-info" and wait till the errors go away (might take a few days) | 21:28 |
| randall | taxman, lol ok killed it thank you for your gelp | 21:28 |
| randall | *help | 21:28 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Yeah, if you let Ubuntu do it then it'll set up the swap itself as well. | 21:28 |
| imbezol | cabrey: that pops up the same dialog as right clicking the power plug and selecting preferences | 21:28 |
| randall | Success! Thank you all! =) | 21:28 |
| taxman | randall: sure. Hopefully, you'll be able to tell from the ps outputs | 21:28 |
| mdm | the packages are called dhcp3-client, dhcp3-server and dhcp3-common | 21:29 |
| imbezol | cabrey: there's no option to get rid of it there | 21:29 |
| cabrey | imbezol, yea in the General Tab | 21:29 |
| GreaterCoreQuad | mdm: i've installed dhcp3-server but nothing returns when i run "dhcpd" | 21:29 |
| SimMiles | Hello | 21:29 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: You can create the swap yourself as well if you go the manual partitioning route. | 21:29 |
| joecool169 | Also there is a whole list of stuff in update manager, should I get it all? | 21:29 |
| FFMike | ? | 21:29 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: you have to set up a config file first | 21:29 |
| FFMike | ./home is the "my documents" | 21:29 |
| imbezol | cabrey: when i select "Never show icon" it doesn't go away | 21:29 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Yep | 21:30 |
| FFMike | and / is the operating system | 21:30 |
| FFMike | right | 21:30 |
| FFMike | ? | 21:30 |
| GreaterCoreQuad | mdm: i've done that, i've gotten it to run. i just want to run firestarter :( | 21:30 |

| Darael | FFMike: yes | 21:30 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: That's right | 21:30 |
| FFMike | excellent thanks | 21:30 |
| Doc235 | anyone? | 21:30 |
| Darael | FFMike: / is the equivalent to the C:\ drive on windows | 21:30 |
| imbezol | cabrey: nope. the radio buttons don't seem to have any affect | 21:30 |
| taxman | well actually home is my documents, my video, my picutures, etc | 21:30 |
| joecool169 | If things were working correctly I would just click on the wireless network I want to connect to correct? | 21:31 |
| cabrey | imbezol, log out and back in, making sure never is selecte | 21:31 |
| cabrey | selected* | 21:31 |
| imbezol | cabrey: weird thing is i haven't restarted my desktop or anything.. and it wasn't there before | 21:31 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: I would think firestarter depended on dhcp3-server, but I can see setting it wihtout it. If you have it installed and you have it configured what is your issue? | 21:31 |

| commander_ | does anyone on here know? | 21:35 |
| tiyowan_ | joecool169: Um, is your router broadcasting a wireless signal? | 21:36 |
| joecool169 | YES | 21:36 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: sorry ubutu puts in in daemon.log, same idea tho | 21:36 |
| tiyowan_ | joecool169: You're sure about that right? | 21:36 |
| guntbert | joecool169: wlan0 (NOT wlan 0) | 21:36 |
| joecool169 | ok | 21:36 |
| MuteBones | @mbeierl I tried "find network" | 21:36 |
| joecool169 | yea, I did it with no space | 21:37 |
| mbeierl | MuteBones: as in find /media/cdrom/ -name '*network*' ? | 21:37 |
| FFMike | does it matter what order my partitions are, peformance wise? | 21:37 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Not really | 21:37 |
| FFMike | just making sure | 21:37 |
| MuteBones | @mbeierl Yeah. No response | 21:38 |
| mbeierl | MuteBones: and the /media/cdrom part is where the cdrom is mounted ? (I might have that part wrong?) Alternatively, "ls -lR /media | grep network-manager" | 21:38 |
| GreaterCoreQuad | mdm: what am i supposed to be seeing? | 21:38 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: DHCPOFFERs | 21:38 |
| imbezol | cabrey: heh.. well i dunno if logging out and back in would fix it since i lost all USB after logging out and restarting gdm didn't help so i had to reboot | 21:39 |
| imbezol | cabrey: but after the reboot all is well. i suspect something i updated made things wonky | 21:39 |
| MuteBones | @mbeierl No response on that either | 21:39 |
| mraz_ | anyone know where i can get empathy build 2.27.3? | 21:39 |
| FFMike | i'm being given teh option to import my vista account documents and settings, is that going to copy all of my documents over? | 21:39 |
| GreaterCoreQuad | mdm: i am trying to connect a windows xp laptop via crossover cable to ubuntu | 21:39 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: what you should see is first a DHCPREQUEST (something asking) then a DHCPOFFER (your server giving) then a DHCPACK (the thing saying it got it) | 21:40 |
| GreaterCoreQuad | mdm: none of that | 21:40 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Yep, it'll get stuff from My Music, My Pictures, um, your browser favorites, stuff like that | 21:40 |
| mraz_ | mike i think that only imports some settings | 21:40 |
| mbeierl | MuteBones: RIGHT! It's the INSTALL CD! Which means it's a squashfs! I'm silly - forgot about that. Gimme a moment to remember how to get access to the fs inside the cd | 21:40 |
| Doc235 | want to run amarok on 9xx and can't says device busy, can i do something to fix that real easy, or can i find alsa and set that up? | 21:40 |
| GreaterCoreQuad | mdm: i've followed http://www.howtoforge.com/dhcp_server_linux_debian_sarge | 21:40 |
| FFMike | well if i can still access that stuff, i can't see why I would want to import it? | 21:40 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: then you did not tell the dhcp server to look down that crossover cable, its probbly much easier to give ti static ips anway | 21:40 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Precisely. Select to not import. | 21:40 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Better to copy over your own stuff | 21:41 |
| GreaterCoreQuad | mdm: how do i do that? | 21:41 |
| FFMike | i feel so empowered | 21:41 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: the whole idea of dhcp is to allow a buch of hosts to request ips from a pool of resources, its sorta mute on a crossover cable | 21:41 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: :) What graphics card do you have in this machine? | 21:41 |
| FFMike | this reminds me of the days of desqview.. not because linux reminds me of desqview, but because that was the last time I really felt in control of my computer lol | 21:41 |
| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: ifconfig on the ubu box, ipconfig on the windows box (also in its network properties) | 21:42 |
| FFMike | i believe it's an ati xpress 1250 | 21:42 |

| mdm | GreaterCoreQuad: its 169.254.x.x and it is part of IANAs private networks | 21:43 |
| tiyowan_ | joecool169: Yep, that seems to be the case. What type of encryption does your wifi network use? | 21:43 |
| mraz_ | now can someone point towards a empathy build with adium enabled? | 21:44 |
| MuteBones | @mbeierl Oh crap, please tell me it doesn't need squashfs tools | 21:44 |

| ronj | hello | 22:02 |
| UbNoob | Sorry....I am using Ubuntu 9.04 / Firefox 3.011 | 22:03 |
| jimbockmon | u need to edit it using root access use sudo nano .bashrc | 22:03 |
| FFMike | there's about 100 megs of updates here to download, is there any particular reason to pick and choose or are they all good to go? | 22:03 |
| mrwes | Empathy is going to replace Pidgin aye? | 22:03 |
| luchix | mbeierl: but how i can change menu entry.....???? | 22:03 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Should update everything. | 22:03 |
| mbeierl | igneousquill: the .bash_profile should be owned by you and in your home directory | 22:03 |
| ronj | I'm experiencing major audio breakage (awful skreeching noises as soon as I start playing anything) in ubuntu 9.04 (possibly since todays gstreamer update). anyone sharing this? could someone help me solve this? | 22:04 |
| mrwes | you don't need sudo to edit your own .bashrc file | 22:04 |
| mbeierl | igneousquill: if you're getting permission denied, it's probably not the right file you're trying to edit | 22:04 |
| BigJB | can anyone confirm that the iptables-restore command in 9.04 does the same as the suggested script in this article please: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 22:04 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Linux updates are a little different from Windows updates. You'll get new versions of applications, kernels, bug fixes, new features, through your updates. | 22:04 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: While the majority of Windows updates are security patches. | 22:04 |
| luchix | mbeierl: maybe with source code o menubar?? | 22:05 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: So it's always a good idea to install all the updates. :) | 22:05 |
| luchix | mbeierl: excuse my english....i'm italian!! :P | 22:05 |
| FFMike | tiy - not much in the way of security vulnerabilities in linux? | 22:05 |
| mbeierl | luchix: np. you're english is certainly good enough for me to understand :) | 22:05 |
| tiyowan_ | FFMike: Comparatively much less. | 22:06 |
| smoorman | hi, where can I get help with apache? I've tired the apache, apche2, and apachefriends channels and I' haven;t been getting any luck | 22:06 |
| luchix | QUESTION: how i can change a menu entry name /SYSTEM/ABOUT UBUNTU??? | 22:06 |
| luchix | mbeierl: thanks.... | 22:06 |
| ikonia | luchix: ? | 22:06 |

| samd | smoorman, if its something simple , mayb i can help | 22:06 |
| ikonia | smoorman: what is the problem ? | 22:06 |
| buzalong | just had what appears to be a security breach on jaunty running off a remix cd; software updater says everything significant other than cron and lib/ecryptfs is up-to-date. The cd ejected, no commands could be found (e.g. ls), and it started downloding several megabytes. | 22:07 |
| ikonia | buzalong: where did you get the remix CD ? | 22:07 |
| smoorman | I moved my computer to a new IP address and my webpage no longer works. I'm sure it's something simple | 22:07 |
| MuteBones | Argh, I'm back with a new problem | 22:07 |
| buzalong | made it myself | 22:07 |
| ikonia | buzalong: then it's not supported | 22:07 |
| luchix | ubottu: ok, i'm talking eng! | 22:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:07 |
| smoorman | when I type sudo apache2 -k restart i get bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} | 22:08 |
| ikonia | smoorman: you have to change the SERVERNAME directive in your apache2.conf and the LISTEN address directive | 22:08 |
| mbeierl | luchix: ubottu was told to tell you where to find italian channels by someone :) | 22:08 |
| buzalong | I know but listen, it's only from ubuntu archive updates | 22:08 |
| luchix | tiyowan: some idea??? | 22:08 |
| ikonia | smoorman: APACHE_RUN_USER is nothing to do with an ip change | 22:08 |
| MuteBones | My Broadcom wireless won't work after uppdating. It's a BCM4312 | 22:08 |
| MuteBones | Anyone got the same card? | 22:08 |
| ikonia | buzalong: sorry - it's not supported | 22:08 |
| dillard | i am having trouble with avant navigator it keeps bring two icons in the dock for one operation like firefox or like synaptic or anything it will put two icons can anyone help please | 22:08 |
| zopiac | pidgin keeps making several empty groups, anyone know how to make it stop doing this? | 22:08 |
| ikonia | buzalong: you made it - you support it, that security hole doesn't exist on 9.04 | 22:08 |
| mbeierl | luchix: sorry - I can't seem to find anything more on it. I've got to sign of for now anyway. Best of luck with your customization ! | 22:08 |
| samd | smoorman: same computer? ive changed my default apache2 server IP and didnt had to change anything, just the url i have to type to access the webpage | 22:09 |
| laeg | joeyeye: ty mate | 22:09 |
| ikonia | zopiac: the ones I have are normally created by the 3rd part applications, eg: AOL makes IM BOTS groups | 22:09 |
| sammy | some packages were pulled in as dependencies of another package, but I didn't know this, and tried to add them manually. apt-get says the packages are now set to manual install, meaning they wont go away if I uninstall the pacakge that included them as dependencies. how can I undo this? | 22:09 |
| luchix | mbeierl: ok! | 22:09 |
| geirha | luchix: You want to translate that string? | 22:09 |
| luchix | mbeierl: thanks... | 22:09 |
| laeg | JonyBlaze: ty mate but putting | less at the end, will i miss stuff? | 22:09 |
| smoorman | ikonia: there is no ServerName in my apache2.conf file, i don't think | 22:10 |
| majnoon | i get E: The package linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc2-generic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. when i tried to fix my intel graphics | 22:10 |
| smoorman | samd: yes, same computer | 22:10 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: look at the LISTEN parameter | 22:10 |
| luchix | geirha: ????? | 22:10 |
| buzalong | think about this: if someone uses a supported livecd that lacks security updates, they have holes; if they simply update using the updater and make it a remix, then they're not supported...a little kafkaesque | 22:10 |
| ikonia | majnoon: you have the proposed repo enabled I think | 22:10 |
| sammy | laeg: piping the output of the command before the pipe (|) to less will put all the output into a buffer that you can then scroll through. less and more are programs that save the output from something and keep it from scrolling the screen. | 22:10 |
| zopiac | ikonia: the ones i get are Profile Friends, Non-IM contacts, and Other Contacts. | 22:10 |
| geirha | luchix: You want "About Ubuntu" to be translated to your language? | 22:11 |
| ikonia | zopiac: I was just showing an example for you | 22:11 |
| zopiac | k | 22:11 |
| luchix | geirha: no, modify to "ABOUT .....etc.." | 22:11 |
| smoorman | Also, in my http.conf, my servername is simple "localhost" That is the only line in httpd.conf | 22:12 |
| dillard | im having ubuntu aavant issues with double icons coming up for everything i open | 22:12 |
| luchix | geirha: how can I do?? with gconf-editor....??? | 22:12 |
| ikonia | smoorman: that means it will only bind to 127.0.0.1 | 22:12 |
| usr13 | igneousquill: What editor are you using? | 22:12 |
| bullgard4 | After an 8.04.2>8.10>9.04 dist-upgrade the arrow keys and Alt Gr in GNOME work wrongly. But they work correctly in the virtual consoles. To what project do I have to associate this error in Launchpad? | 22:12 |
| Mogga | can someone help with an /etc/network/interfaces question... i've been linkslapping myself for the past couple of days but can't find my answer... here's a brief rundown... http://dpaste.com/58073/ | 22:13 |
| geirha | luchix: ... not sure I understand what you mean, but you'll find that menu-entry as /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-about.desktop You can open that file in a regular editor and change it. | 22:13 |
| Guest20156 | help with pykota: ERROR: PyKotaStorageError: Unable to connect to LDAP server u'ldap://127.0.0.1:389' as u'pykotaadmin'. | 22:13 |
| Guest20156 | don't know where the u' | 22:13 |
| ikonia | Guest20156: it can't connect to the ldap server running on your localhost | 22:13 |
| natschil | Guest20156: you could try to ask in #pykota | 22:13 |
| igneousquill | @usr13 just the regular text editor that comes with ubuntu. I've started doing the sudo gedit command and am able to modify and save the file now, but the alias doesn't work for some reason. Got it to work on my mac at work. | 22:13 |
| Guest20156 | thanks | 22:13 |
| localz | how do you hide in ircII the joins and signoffs of users? | 22:14 |
| smoorman | ikonia: at some point I must have bound my ip address to mapprentice.pc.cs.cmu.edu, because that is the site i went to to access the page.. do you know where I would have done this | 22:14 |
| luchix | geirha: I try..... | 22:14 |
| ikonia | smoorman: server name | 22:14 |
| ikonia | and the listen address | 22:14 |
| majnoon | how reinstall using dpkg ?? | 22:14 |
| smoorman | so... what do I type? | 22:14 |
| smoorman | ServerName mapprentice.pc.cs.cmu.edu? | 22:14 |
| smoorman | or the actual ip address | 22:14 |
| usr13 | Mogga: What are you trying to do? | 22:14 |
| usr13 | Mogga: Are you trying to share the internet connection via your ubuntu PC? | 22:15 |
| sammy | bullgard4: if it's a gtk issue, probably your gtk package. if it's every application in X windows, I'm not sure :) try assigning it to the highest level program you can and someone will probably help you triage the bug and get it assigned to the right package. | 22:15 |
| sammy | searching for bugs that have occured during the distupgrade process is probably a good idea, too, though I don't know what package your issue might already be assigned to. | 22:16 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: server name is what ever your server name is, the LISTEN parameter is key | 22:16 |
| luchix | geirha: oh my god!! THANKSSSSS!!!!!!!! :) | 22:16 |
| buzalong | wait perhaps I'm using the term remix too widely...it's only 9.0.4 with jaunty updates. | 22:16 |
| alan_ | join #over40 | 22:16 |
| ikonia | buzalong: that's a remix | 22:17 |
| usr13 | Mogga: For one thing, you have your alias set to auto and then again to static. You can't have it both ways. | 22:17 |
| bullgard4 | sammy: Thank you for some suggestions. | 22:17 |
| smoorman | ok so i would type ServerName 128.2.176.92 ListenAddress mapprentice.pc.cs.cmu.edu? | 22:17 |
| luchix | mbeierl: geirha help me!! :) "luchix: ... not sure I understand what you mean, but you'll find that menu-entry as /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-about.desktop You can open that file in a regular editor and change it." | 22:17 |
| smoorman | that doesn;t look right | 22:17 |
| ikonia | smoorman: other way around | 22:17 |
| smoorman | i see | 22:17 |
| sammy | bullgard4: no problem. finding the right package for a bug is hard work. the people assigned to watch new bugs for particular packages will help you figure out where your issue is actually occuring. no one likes bugs assigned to their package that don't have anything to do with them :) | 22:17 |
| usr13 | Mogga: What are you wanting to do? | 22:17 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: LISTEN * normally does it | 22:17 |
| Mogga | usr13: trying to setup a home testing environment for what might be a real server layout | 22:18 |
| ikonia | snuxoll: sorry | 22:18 |
| ikonia | smoorman: LISTEN * normally does it | 22:18 |
| Mogga | usr13: kvm... | 22:18 |
| luchix | bye | 22:18 |
| usr13 | Mogga: You need to be a little more specific. | 22:18 |
| buzalong | so look, there have been security updates since 9.0.4, so you can't say 9.0.4 can't be breached unmodified | 22:18 |
| Mogga | usr13: my isp controls 192.168.1.0 and I want to have DNS, LDAP on the 10.1.0.0 network so i can't merge the two... without messing up my LOL tv set top boxes | 22:19 |
| smoorman | when I type: sudo apache2 -k restart I still get the same "bad user name" error | 22:19 |
| scalex000 | hello | 22:19 |
| kikoman | hello | 22:19 |
| scalex000 | how do I reset my password | 22:19 |
| ikonia | buzalong: can't support your personal remixing of a CD | 22:19 |
| laeg | sammy: tyvm | 22:19 |
| scalex000 | i forgot it | 22:19 |
| scalex000 | :~( | 22:20 |
| Mogga | usr13: so the 10.1.0.0 network is it's own little world ... virtual interface no nic for 10.1 | 22:20 |
| ikonia | smoorman: as I said the bad user error is nothing to do with your ip change | 22:20 |
| smoorman | ikonia: do you know where I could debug that then | 22:20 |
| Mogga | usr13: http://imagebin.ca/view/nK-g75.html | 22:21 |

| smoorman | ikonia: do you know where i can solve my problem? I've serached the internet and people seem to be saying it's because I didn't type 'sudo' beforehand.. when that isn't the case | 22:25 |

| yokobr | it comes, officially, with windows mobile... but it sucks. | 22:40 |
| Newbie2this | Does anyone know how to fix choppy video issue on a T40? | 22:40 |
| usr13 | lobster2b: aaahhhh ok. | 22:40 |
| kpoman | I tried this: mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb/ | 22:40 |
| benji_ | anyone have any suggestions for how to fix my sound? | 22:41 |
| usr13 | kpoman: Did they change it in 9.04 ? or...? | 22:41 |
| usr13 | !sound | benji_ | 22:41 |
| ubottu | benji_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:42 |
| benji_ | ty ill look at that | 22:42 |
| benji_ | nothing in my sound prefs about alsa. | 22:43 |
| gms3gr | ikonia: i have done everything again, i installed the recommended drivers, itried to print the test page, and nothing again..... it gives me the "task complete" message right after i click the "print" button, without doin anything..... | 22:43 |
| geirha | kpoman: Sure you don't want to use /sys/bus/usb instead? | 22:43 |

| kev2121 | hi world! | 22:46 |
| kev2121 | which is the best distribution for a laptop?? | 22:46 |
| kev2121 | portable* | 22:46 |
| Mogga | usr13: i guess you're as stumped as me? | 22:47 |
| Mogga | usr13: just missed that last note... yeah that's close but it's for one network but i want two... that's the rub | 22:47 |
| FFMike | mauahahaha | 22:47 |
| FFMike | I feel so empowered.. I'm in IRCII, in my own linux shell.. Holy crap this takes me back | 22:47 |
| FFMike | where can i get and how do I install ansi in linux | 22:48 |
| geirha | kev2121: Since you're asking in #ubuntu, I'm compelled to say ... Ubuntu :) | 22:48 |
| gms3gr | ikonia: any ideas? | 22:48 |
| FFMike | anyone? | 22:49 |
| Mogga | usr13: this is the closest i found but uses startup scripts and tun as opposed to bridge http://blog.cynapses.org/2007/07/12/qemu-kvm-internal-network-setup | 22:50 |
| deany | kev2121, netbook or laptop | 22:50 |
| UbNoob | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and firefox. I can't get videos like YouTube videos to play. All I see is a grey screen where the video is. Anyone?? | 22:50 |
| FFMike | looking for ansi drivers for linux? | 22:50 |
| deany | kev2121, well, either way, plain ubuntu works for both, for me | 22:50 |
| usr13 | Mogga: I would have to know what you've got (specifically). | 22:50 |
| artemis_f0wl | UbNoob> do you have JRE installed? | 22:50 |
| skyl | I realize this isn't #my-crappy-router but can anyone help me diagnose what is wrong under these conditions: I am on the internet with this computer with a wired connection. Computers can connect to the router and get a dhcp address but can not get on the internet or ping anything... | 22:51 |
| kev2121 | deany, laptop | 22:51 |
| UbNoob | Let me check artemis | 22:51 |
| deany | UbNoob, sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 22:51 |
| Mogga | usr13: what i've got? | 22:51 |
| smoorman | ikonia: I think when I reinstalled apache2 and php5 I erased something important which allowed my computer to recognize the php in my website's code | 22:51 |
| UbNoob | I will do that also deany | 22:51 |
| kev2121 | deany, I was looking for portable ubuntu, but I found it... :( | 22:52 |
| deany | UbNoob, you dont need java. | 22:52 |
| smoorman | ikonia: I remembder typing in a line, somewhere, in some configuration file, which made the php work. do you know what that line would be? | 22:52 |
| === Guest36455 is now known as CARS | ||
| Mogga | usr13: ubuntu server 9.04 running on dual dual core 2.3? | 22:52 |
| usr13 | Mogga: Yes, I'd have to know what you have on your network... | 22:52 |
| UbNoob | Artemis - I don't have the Java plugin or runtime. | 22:52 |
| UbNoob | deany - I will try that command now. | 22:53 |
| usr13 | Mogga: You have multiple servers on this machine that you want to expose to the WAN? | 22:53 |
| deany | UbNoob, you dont need java for youtube (flash) sites | 22:53 |
| Mogga | usr13: precisely | 22:53 |
| artemis_f0wl | UbNoob> the adobe plugin should work.. I was mistaken | 22:53 |
| kev2121 | deany, dont* | 22:53 |
| usr13 | Mogga: If that is the case, you just make alias's for each and have them listen on theml | 22:53 |
| karel | hi | 22:53 |
| Mogga | usr13: that imagebin link http://imagebin.ca/view/nK-g75.html shows the topography | 22:53 |
| Mogga | usr13: ok... so i'd create eth0:1 eth0:2 eth0:3 etc. etc. ? | 22:54 |
| deany | kev2121, portable? | 22:54 |
| zeiden | #ubuntu | 22:54 |
| === cesar_ is now known as Guest8684 | ||
| bullgard4 | exit | 22:55 |
| kev2121 | yeah | 22:55 |
| deany | kev2121, plain ubuntu works on laptops as well as desktops. | 22:55 |
| smoorman | ikonia: I tried adding this but it does not work.. is this correct? LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so | 22:55 |
| smoorman | AddHandler php5-script php | 22:55 |
| Mogga | usr13: no need to bridge then? | 22:55 |
| deany | kev2121, if you mean a usb stick with persistence ? | 22:55 |
| smoorman | *to the httpd.conf file | 22:55 |
| usr13 | Mogga: Yes, if that's the way you want to do it. Actually they can listen on the same IP if you want them to, but if you like, you can create an alias for each and have them listen on seperat IPs. | 22:55 |
| kev2121 | deany, but my CD-ROM fail | 22:55 |
| zeiden | hi, I'm having a problem ... my network card on jaunty only works when I am logged into the console. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks. | 22:56 |

| lwizardl | any gimp masters here? i need some help | 22:56 |
| UbNoob | Artemis / deany - I installed adobe but still only see grey screen. Do I need to reboot? | 22:56 |
| deany | kev2121, use unetbootin then | 22:56 |
| usr13 | lwizardl: I know quite a bit about gimp. | 22:56 |
| usr13 | lwizardl: What do you need? | 22:56 |
| deany | kev2121, make a usb stick to install from | 22:56 |
| Lucinha | o | 22:56 |
| usr13 | Mogga: Not really, no. They can all listen and be used from the same IP | 22:57 |
| karel | I had xubuntu(8.0somethin), then I upgraded to ubuntu(9.04) from software update and now amarok/rhythmbox doesn't play mp3 files, well most of them, it plays very few ones - i don't know why, does anyone have any ideas, please? | 22:57 |
| kev2121 | deany, ok ..thanks ! :) | 22:57 |
| lwizardl | usr13, I need some help taking images and making lineart outlines from them | 22:57 |
| dingleberry | upgrading to the latest pidgin is hard | 22:57 |
| Mogga | i'll try it out tonight | 22:57 |
| Mogga | thanks | 22:57 |
| cornwall | karel: are you using totem? | 22:57 |
| deany | kev2121, or the usb-creator app if you are using ubuntu already.... | 22:57 |
| cornwall | karel: duh, sorry, you already answered that | 22:57 |
| usr13 | Mogga: It depends on what type of server it is. If they are all different, they can all use same IP. | 22:58 |
| deany | kev2121, just download the iso and its easy from there. | 22:58 |
| cornwall | karel: gstreamer may be having an issue with the codec. You can try downloading "Totem (xine)" to make sure you have them | 22:58 |
| Mogga | usr13: i want them to have different ips to mirror what will eventually be the physical arrangement | 22:58 |
| deany | UbNoob, check this url. about:plugins and see if the flash plugin is loaded | 22:58 |
| usr13 | Mogga: Because a web server uses port 80 and an ftp server uses port 21 | 22:58 |
| Mogga | usr13: rollout will be much easier | 22:58 |
| delopart | i cannot use sudo | 22:59 |
| delopart | when i try to use that | 22:59 |
| delopart | i take this message elopart is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 22:59 |
| delopart | what can i do | 22:59 |
| kev2121 | deany, I can download it as a package? (the usb-creator) | 22:59 |
| Mogga | usr13: I see what you're saying - they'll need different IPs - two have web servers on them - one for rpc calls | 23:00 |
| usr13 | Mogga: Then just create an alais for each. ifconfig eth0:1 ; ifconfig eth0:2 ; ifconfig eth0:2 and then set IPs for each. | 23:00 |
| UbNoob | deany - I'm sorry....I was not being patient enough. I can see the video now. Just took a long time to show up. Can I ask you then about facebook games? I am unable to see the "play" buttons on them. Would that be adobe also or something different? | 23:00 |
| Mogga | usr13: i can do that in the interfaces file right ? | 23:00 |
| delopart | any answer | 23:00 |
| deany | kev2121, System/Administration/USB startup disk | 23:00 |
| dingleberry | frig it | 23:00 |
| lwizardl | usr13, do you know how to do that? | 23:01 |
| deany | UbNoob, that might be about java.... | 23:01 |
| UbNoob | ah, ok...JRE? | 23:01 |
| onexused | I see there are screenshots for some programs in synaptic, but not all. Where could I contribute screenshots for the programs that I use? | 23:01 |
| usr13 | Mogga: ifconfig eth0:1 10.1.0.3 ; ifconfig eth0:2 10.1.0.4 ; ifconfig eth0:3 10.1.0.5 etc.... | 23:01 |
| deany | UbNoob, I dont know really.. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras (it installs other stuff too, but more likely you`ll need it sometime) | 23:01 |
| karel | cornwall : i did that, i think i did, well I had Totem, but I instlled totem-xine now, still no sound :( from rhythmbox/amarok | 23:01 |
| farid | azfz | 23:02 |
| cornwall | karel: no SOUND? | 23:02 |
| karel | I mean, they don't play mp3 | 23:02 |
| UbNoob | deany - Thank you very much....I will give that a try. | 23:02 |
| delopart | hey hey hey | 23:02 |
| UbNoob | Artemis - Thank you too | 23:02 |
| usr13 | lwizardl: Sorry, I've never made lineart outlines | 23:02 |
| cornwall | karel: what does it do, does it give you an error, does it say "streaming", etc? | 23:03 |
| kev2121 | deany, on Xubuntu is the same? | 23:03 |
| delopart | i cant do anything without sudo | 23:03 |
| delopart | how can i add user to sudoers | 23:03 |
| delopart | i dont have sudo | 23:03 |
| sacamano | Hey, random question. I bought a new external hd (1TB) and it's got an on/off switch. Should I unmount it before turning it off via on/off, or does it not matter? | 23:03 |
| ers | how can i upgrade 8.10 to have newer packages without reinstalling? | 23:03 |
| onexused | delopart: when logged in as root, use the command "visudo" and edit the file. | 23:03 |
| deany | kev2121, I guess so | 23:03 |
| cornwall | sacamano: ALWAYS unmount it first | 23:03 |
| usr13 | lwizardl: If I saw one of the images, I might be able to figure it out, but don't even know what a "lineart outline" is in the first place. | 23:03 |
| sacamano | cornwall, ok. same goes for when im on windows? | 23:03 |
| delopart | i cannot login as root | 23:03 |
| deany | kev2121, it installs java and the java plugin and other stuff | 23:03 |
| delopart | how can i login root | 23:04 |
| cornwall | sacamano: If you don't unmount it, you have a possibility of data loss/corruption | 23:04 |
| onexused | delopart: You don't have the root password? | 23:04 |
| delopart | no | 23:04 |
| LinuxMercedes | I'm trying to boot a machine off the network, but it doesn't recognize the boot server. Any ideas? | 23:04 |
| kev2121 | deany, thanks and excuse my grammatical errors, I speak Spanish :) | 23:04 |
| deany | kev2121, UbNoob to just install java just sudo apt-get install sun-java-plugin and it`ll install java. | 23:04 |
| Nophiq | Hi, my ubuntu don't show me my external hard disk, dmesg and lsusb don't help me, it is Maxtor Basic, what can I do? | 23:04 |
| onexused | delopart: I don't remember if you set it when you install Ubuntu or not. | 23:04 |
| delopart | because ubuntu didnt ask for root`s password | 23:04 |
| UbNoob | Thank you deany! | 23:04 |
| cornwall | sacamano: The EXT file system has a write-back function. It must be told unmount so it can write | 23:04 |
| delopart | no ubutu didnt ask | 23:04 |
| deany | kev2121, I talk to someone spanish all the time :) | 23:04 |
| karel | cornwall: Rhythmbox says nothing, it seems like it's playing but no sound is coming, Amarok says that "Too many errors encountered in playlist, playback stopped" - I could'nt find and exact error or something | 23:04 |
| onexused | delopart: Okay. And you can't use sudo from the -first- user you set up when you installed? | 23:05 |
| whois | What is the best ftp login client for a web admin using ubuntu OS | 23:05 |
| cornwall | sacamano: It's always a good idea to do that, even in windows. | 23:05 |
| delopart | no | 23:05 |
| delopart | i actrually made fsck -y -f /dev/sda2 | 23:05 |
| UbNoob | Last question for anyone since I'm a noob....Ubuntu beginner book recommendations? | 23:05 |
| delopart | thatr destroy the user that i created in ubuntu installation | 23:05 |
| sacamano | cornwall, its NTFS so turning it off first would really mess it up, right | 23:05 |
| cornwall | sacamano: Sadly, if you don't unmount in either, you have a higher chance of screwing new files up in Ubuntu than in Windows. It's that more than stupid writeback "feature" | 23:06 |
| delopart | i add user from consoel | 23:06 |
| delopart | and not i cannot use sudo | 23:06 |
| whois | hello guys | 23:06 |
| kpoman | geirha: sorry just saw your response ! the problem is the drivers from the hardware maintainer are using that old /proc/bus/usb ! | 23:06 |
| cornwall | karel: I'm thinking :) | 23:06 |
| kev2121 | deany, so you understand? | 23:06 |
| delopart | yes i cannot use sudo | 23:06 |
| karel | okey, thanks :) | 23:06 |
| whois | I wanted to ask wc is the best login ftp client for ubuntu OS | 23:06 |
| deany | kev2121, tu eres bello | 23:06 |
| deany | kev2121, I mean, yes. | 23:06 |
| onexused | delopart: I see. Someone else will have to help you, then. Sorry. | 23:06 |
| deany | lol | 23:06 |
| Nophiq | Hi, my ubuntu don't show me my external hard disk, dmesg and lsusb don't help me, it is Maxtor Basic, what can I do? | 23:06 |
| kpoman | geirha: I managed to test and make the drivers work ... now I would like to make it persistent ! but I just took a look at fstab and it seems messed up ... how can I make ubuntu mount it at next boot | 23:06 |
| kpoman | ? | 23:06 |
| Nightchill | hey, i just installed ubuntu 8.10, does that mean i have access only to hardy repos? | 23:07 |
| usr13 | Mogga: and you even use the server's config files to tell it what IP address to listen on. | 23:07 |
| cornwall | karel: you said that XINE totem also didn't play it? | 23:07 |
| onexused | I see there are screenshots for some programs in synaptic, but not all. Where could I contribute screenshots for the programs that I use? | 23:07 |
| Mogga | usr13: too easy | 23:07 |
| Mogga | usr13: i questioned the need for a bridge | 23:08 |
| usr13 | Mogga: On the web server use line Listen 10.1.0.3 in the http.conf file | 23:08 |
| Nightchill | hey, i just installed ubuntu 8.10, does that mean i have access only to hardy repos? | 23:08 |
| karel | cornwall: XINE totem? I have Totem and it doesn't play, well it gives no error and plays but no sound is coming :/ | 23:09 |
| Mogga | usr13: good tip ... i'd struggle on that one too | 23:09 |
| kev2121 | deany, haha... it is a bit difficult for me because I'm just studying English now | 23:11 |
| kpoman | do someone know what to put in fstab to have /proc/bus/usb | 23:11 |
| cornwall | karel: Totem uses by default the Gstreamer backend. There's another backend called Xine. Go to add/remove and search for "totem xine" and install it | 23:12 |
| cornwall | karel: this is just to check that it's in fact gstreamer's fault | 23:12 |
| deany | kev2121, so is she | 23:12 |
| usr13 | Mogga: But it might be to your advantage to use a firewall to do some of that for you. | 23:12 |
| zzaza | hi all | 23:12 |
| deany | I speak english and spanglish. | 23:12 |
| Nightchill | is there any .deb of catalyst 9.3 in repositories | 23:12 |
| karel | cornwall: I installed "totem-xine" it didn't help :( | 23:12 |
| cornwall | karel: ah, but you need to open as "totem (xine)" | 23:13 |
| usr13 | Mogga: If you have a firewall in front of it, you can have it direct different services to different ports on your multi-server machine. | 23:13 |
| cornwall | karel: You may have to go to properties and add it as a possible program | 23:13 |
| gmcm | Hi. I'm trying to install OpenOffice to my computer using Ubuntu. I've done the download. but I can't understand the instructions for further installation on the Open Office site. Can someone help? | 23:13 |

| rww | kpoman: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2009-January/170416.html | 23:14 |
| usr13 | Mogga: YOu can do a combination of both... | 23:14 |
| cornwall | karel: You can check to see if you're using gstreamer or xine by going to Help>About. It will say which one you're using to play that certain file | 23:14 |
| kev2121 | deany, ??...I did not understand XD | 23:14 |
| cornwall | it's fine | 23:14 |
| Nightchill | how do i search for installed packages? | 23:14 |
| karel | cornwall: Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.22 | 23:15 |
| bkevan | anyone else having problems connecting to Yahoo on Pidgin on ubuntu Karmic? | 23:15 |

| Mogga | usr13: it will be a combo setup | 23:15 |
| rww | !yahoo | bkevan | 23:15 |
| ubottu | bkevan: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. | 23:15 |
| cornwall | okay, well, open the mp3 with "Totem (Xine)" now, and tell me if it plays | 23:16 |
| deany | kev2121, apt-get is ok, install must be spanish obviously. | 23:16 |
| rww | kain_: put an & at the end. e.g.: firefox& | 23:16 |
| cornwall | or you could open it with VLC | 23:16 |
| kain_ | rww thx :D | 23:16 |
| usr13 | Nightchill: dpkg -L pkg-name or less /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkg-name.list | 23:16 |
| kpoman | rww: I'm checking right now ! (damn chatzilla doesnt show when response) | 23:16 |
| cornwall | karel: either way, we just need to make sure it's Gstreamer's fault. Rhythmbox uses gstreamer. I'm not sure about Amarok, though | 23:16 |
| fuzzybunny69y | hey everyone I was just wondering when you are adding in 3rd party repositories why do they always have the line that has deb-src? What is it used for? | 23:17 |

| fuzzybunny69y | !deb-src | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about deb-src | 23:18 |
| fuzzybunny69y | !deb-src | 23:18 |
| kev2121 | deany, yes, but I need to practice my English :) | 23:18 |
| rww | kain_: if you close it with X, you don't then have to do anything else. | 23:18 |
| fuzzybunny69y | source | 23:18 |
| gmcm | Can anyone help me install OpenOffice (using Ubuntu)? | 23:18 |

| coler | can anyone tell me how do i install a tar file | 23:18 |
| rww | fuzzybunny69y: deb-src lines are used to get source code packages. If you don't plan to compile packages yourself, you can leave them off. | 23:19 |
| Mogga | usr13: mysql, www, ice rpc, svn, file, www-int | 23:19 |

I'm trying to use the folderview screenlet to display the contents of my desktop ala KDE 4, and that works, but it is in addition to the icons already displayed on my desktop, rather than in place of, which is what my goal is. Also, it does not display mounted objects, only the contents of the desktop folder. | 23:19 |

| bkevan | rww: man.. that's pretty stupid.. wonder what's causing it.. gotta find out.. haha.. thanks again for the pointer. | 23:20 |
| usr13 | coler: But you should see if the package you are installing is not in repos | 23:20 |
| kev2121 | deany, also, I use Xubuntu and I think it's a bit more complex | 23:20 |
| cornwall | karel: Okay, the problem is then gstreamer, which sucks | 23:20 |
| usr13 | coler: And then just do sudo apt-get install package-name | 23:20 |
| cornwall | karel: oddly enough, I can play mp3s just fine using the same version | 23:21 |
| coler | it is noip-duc-linux.tar.gz | 23:21 |
| cornwall | karel: do you have all updates? | 23:21 |
| deany | kev2121, its less friendly yes. | 23:21 |
| coler | ok so how do i tell | 23:21 |
| coler | if its in repo | 23:21 |
| karel | cornwall: :/, gstreamer? I guess so | 23:21 |
| rww | !info noip2 | coler | 23:21 |
| ubottu | coler: noip2 (source: no-ip): client for dynamic DNS service. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.9-1 (jaunty), package size 80 kB, installed size 236 kB | 23:21 |
| usr13 | coler: apt-cache search package-name-here | 23:21 |
| deany | kev2121, to be honest, I dont see the point in it, it uses gnome libs and loads them, so you still the overhead... | 23:21 |
| kpoman | rww: see, I already mounted it on command line, worked nice...I simply used this command: mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb/ .... what would be it's fstab equivalent | 23:22 |
| kpoman | ? | 23:22 |
| usr13 | coler: or: apt-cache search key-word | 23:22 |
| aleron6 | is anybody having problems with pidgin like me | 23:22 |
| rblst | how can i change my monitor resolution to 1440x900 in ubuntu 8.10? i have an integrated via video card | 23:22 |
| aleron6 | thing wont connect | 23:22 |
| lstarnes | aleron6: what will it not connect to? | 23:22 |
| karel | cornwall: "Ubuntu restricted extras" maybe I should get this? But I have to remove something else before - it gives an error | 23:22 |
| rww | aleron6: which service (yahoo, msn, etc.)? | 23:22 |
| aleron6 | my account | 23:22 |
| aleron6 | yahoo | 23:23 |
| usr13 | rblst: Gnome? | 23:23 |
| rww | !yahoo | aleron6 | 23:23 |
| ubottu | aleron6: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. | 23:23 |
| psych | C-S-B, hi | 23:23 |
| kpoman | rww: is this correct ? : https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2009-January/170416.html | 23:23 |
| kpoman | oops | 23:23 |
| aleron6 | isent there another client | 23:23 |
| karel | cornwall: it's somekind of gstreamer thing | 23:23 |
| kpoman | usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs nosuid,node 0 0 | 23:23 |
| rblst | usr13: yes, but any command line solution would also do | 23:23 |
| aleron6 | for yahoo heah | 23:23 |
| coler | I need to install apt-cashe? is this a vns | 23:23 |
| coler | where do i get it, packages?\ | 23:23 |
| kev2121 | deany, you're right... I think I swap to ubuntu. . :S | 23:23 |
| usr13 | rblst: System -> Preference -> Screen Resolution | 23:24 |
| rww | kpoman: that looks right, yeah | 23:24 |
| cornwall | karel: yes, install that | 23:24 |
| sway | Why does Adobe have to put me dowwwwn? Where is my 64bit version of flash :( | 23:24 |
| * sway cries | 23:24 | |
| cabrey | sway, it's on adobe's site | 23:24 |
| coler | SORRY IM NEW TO THIS | 23:24 |
| deany | kev2121, well I tried it, and it used the same gnome programs for most stuff | 23:24 |
| rww | sway: at the bottom of http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 23:24 |
| sway | I shall investigate! | 23:24 |
| sway | THank you! | 23:24 |
| cornwall | sway: I seriously can't wait for adobe to crash and die. | 23:24 |
| rblst | usr13: it is of course not there, and it's only 8.04, not 8.10, just checked | 23:24 |
| aleron6 | so theres no other yahoo im client | 23:24 |
| usr13 | coler: apt-cache not apt-cashe | 23:24 |
| sway | Same here, but I need ot for my Hulu addiction :( | 23:25 |
| rww | aleron6: did you follow the instruction ubottu gave you? | 23:25 |
| aleron6 | no wat is it | 23:25 |
| deany | kev2121, so I thought, whats the point. System monitor was gnomes, firefox is gnome+bloat.. I saved like 3meg memory using it.. woo hoo | 23:25 |
| aleron6 | oh nvm | 23:25 |
| coler | but what do i do with apt-cache, where do i get it | 23:25 |
| usr13 | rblst: Are you using Gnome? | 23:25 |
| kpoman | rww: cool I will try to reboot see if it still works | 23:25 |
| cornwall | sway: Someday people will realize that you don't need that stupid format to play movies, but I guess until people get some sense, we're stuck using flash :( | 23:25 |
| rblst | usr13: yes | 23:26 |
| sway | Indeed :( | 23:26 |
| cornwall | karel: did you install it? | 23:26 |
| cabrey | rblst, xrandr is the way to switch resolutions from the commandline | 23:26 |
| rblst | cabrey: i'll take a look, thanks | 23:26 |
| karel | cornwall: I'm trying to find oout what I have to remove first | 23:26 |
| deany | !pure-xfce | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pure-xfce | 23:26 |
| usr13 | rblst: as cabrey says, try xrandr | 23:26 |
| deany | !purexfce | 23:26 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 23:26 |
| kev2121 | deany, haha...but resources as the main memory are managed more efficiently? | 23:27 |
| Guak | who wants to join my channel! frikkin' #mylifeononepage :D | 23:27 |
| Guak | no takers... | 23:28 |
| Guak | oh well | 23:28 |
| Guak | :( | 23:28 |
| cabrey | Guak, thats what we call spam | 23:28 |
| Seeker` | Guak: how about you don't advertise in here | 23:28 |
| Guak | yeah | 23:28 |
| rww | Guak: don't advertise your channel here, please. | 23:28 |
| Guak | i figured | 23:28 |
| rblst | cabrey, usr13: i believe xrandr is a backend for the gnome magic resolution switcher, is it not? xrandr doesn't list the resolution i want :( | 23:29 |
| Guak | if its not full of adverts then what goes on here...looks to be just people joining and quitting all the time...nobody has ever left my channel... | 23:29 |
| Seeker` | !ot | Guak | 23:29 |
| ubottu | Guak: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:29 |
| joaopinto | rblst, xrandr is not a backend for the gnome magic resolution, it's the way around, gnome resolution switcher is a frontend for xrandr | 23:29 |
| deany | kev2121, I dont see any benefit myself | 23:30 |
| rww | Guak: though the #ubuntu-offtopic people don't want your spam either ;) | 23:30 |
| Guak | i'll stop wasting your time :) | 23:30 |
| rblst | joaopinto: it doesn't make any difference, but yes, that's better to say | 23:30 |
| deany | kev2121, it might be based on xfce, but Its still dependant on gnome, and I dont see the point of using something that uses gnome-libs | 23:31 |
| Ademan | how can I tell what boot scripts are being run? is there a log file somewhere? i feel like my local-top/dmraid isn't being run | 23:31 |
| karel | cornwall: okay, installing it | 23:31 |
| cabrey | rblst, you'll have to list the res you want in xorg.conf | 23:31 |
| rblst | cabrey: that means i have to add a modeline? | 23:31 |
| usr13 | rblst: What video card to you have? | 23:32 |
| rblst | user13: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP (rev 01) | 23:32 |
| cabrey | rblst, if it isn't detected, then yes :( | 23:32 |
| cornwall | karel: good, hope it works | 23:32 |
| cabrey | rblst, oh fun the openchrome driver | 23:33 |
| deany | kev2121, if you are only gonna run gnome type apps anyway on... like firefox, thunderbird, etc | 23:33 |

| tpcnf | What do I do with /etc/modprobe.d/options? | 23:37 |
| cabrey | rblst, yea thats just the driver, look on help.ubuntu.com for openchrome | 23:38 |

| Ademan | when during boot does ubuntu mount the devices in the fstab? | 23:48 |
| helmethedd | hello??? | 23:49 |
| rblst | user13, cabrey: setting openchrome as the driver in xorg.conf made the wanted resolution available; thanks for your help | 23:49 |

| tsrk | I moved two files from my ubuntu partition to my windows partition, however when I booted back into windows they are not there. I rebooted back into ubuntu, and they have disappeared here too. How can I recover the files from either my ubuntu or windows partition? (ubuntu is ext3 and windows is ntfs) | 23:49 |

| helmethedd | how do i boot from cd? | 23:50 |
| helmethedd | trying to upgrade from the live disc | 23:50 |
| flamsmark | is it possible to upgrade straight to the most recent version of ubuntu, or do i have to incrementally upgrade through all the intermediary versions? | 23:50 |
| helmethedd | its incremental | 23:50 |
| flamsmark | helpmethod - was that at me? | 23:51 |
| rblst | helmethedd: you have to set in BIOS setup | 23:51 |
| flamsmark | helpmethedd - was that at me? | 23:51 |
| helmethedd | ok, how | 23:51 |
| helmethedd | yes | 23:51 |
| zopiac_ | is there a channel specifically for Easy Peasy? | 23:51 |
| tsrk | flamsmark, yeah, you have to update through each version | 23:51 |
| flamsmark | thanks tsrk | 23:51 |
| deany | kev2121, try ubuntuforums.org also, if you search, most problems are answered | 23:52 |
| helmethedd | tsrk, how do i set it in bios | 23:52 |
| kev2121 | deany, it's nice to know that | 23:52 |
| tsrk | flamsmark, if you're going through more than one version it might be better to just do a fresh install because things can get messed up in upgrades and most stuff is easy to backup and will be exactly the same when you restore it | 23:52 |
| helmethedd | isnt't there a button to push during reboot? | 23:52 |
| rblst | helmethedd: usually it's the DEL or F2 key you can enter into BIOS setup right after you turn on your machine | 23:52 |
| tsrk | helmethedd, set what? | 23:52 |
| jthing | I get a menu of boot choices | 23:53 |
| helmethedd | tsrk, the bios setting for booting from CD | 23:53 |
| tsrk | helmethedd, it depends on your bios, but look for a boot device order option | 23:54 |
| rblst | helmethedd: then there is a boot sequence option or something similar | 23:54 |
| flamsmark | tsrk - as in, the system won't work? i have practically nothing on this machine | 23:54 |
| jthing | It usually sais what key to push on the bios boot screen | 23:54 |
| helmethedd | tsrk, i first will need to get to bios right? | 23:54 |
| helmethedd | then how is that accomplished? | 23:54 |
| tsrk | helmethedd, yes, it should display that option on your boot screen | 23:54 |
