nai | and wich one should i install if i want a basic gnome but with nice fonts? (no gdm, no evolution, no ekiga...) | 00:00 |
kev2121 | deany, why #kubuntu? | 00:00 |
deany | kev2121, hmm, well I thought it was | 00:00 |
deany | kev2121, maybe not then. kernel and basic hardware support is the same, the rest are kde apps.... | 00:01 |
VCoolio | nai: check in synaptic or by "aptitude show packagename"; you'll need at least gnome and gnome-core I think but probably they depend on each other; gdm is the login window, are you sure you don't want that? | 00:01 |
bishop | Hh why not upgrade to 9? | 00:01 |
cabrey | bishop, depends on your hardware really | 00:02 |
usr13 | helmethedd: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server | 00:02 |
bishop | cabrey yep | 00:02 |
usr13 | helmethedd: But the easiest way is to get the Alternate CD and just upgrade from it. | 00:02 |
shunobies | Could someone tell me how to find your ip address in the terminal setting? | 00:02 |
psych | hi, whats the best command to copy an entire partition to another disk ? | 00:03 |
deany | kev2121, there are some good kde apps tho, put some of the ubuntu ones to shame.. lets not mention brasero compared to k3b.. | 00:03 |
usr13 | shunobies: ifconfig | 00:03 |
cabrey | shunobies, ifconfig | 00:03 |
psych | i planned to do it using a live cd | 00:03 |
deany | kev2121, brasero is a joke. | 00:03 |

psych | once clonezilla dont work good with logical partitions | 00:03 |
cabrey | deany, brasero is fine, it works what else do you want? | 00:03 |
kev2121 | deany, I see.. | 00:03 |
LewisSharp | Small question. How safe is it to upgrade a linux version (example to 8.0.4 LTS). I am wondering because if it's not safe, I'd need to do a ghost of my main partition or something close to that in case of a major problem. | 00:03 |
deany | cabrey, for you maybe | 00:03 |
VCoolio | nai: gnome-desktop-environment contains all the extra apps , including web browsing, email, CD burning and ripping, encryption tools, audio and video playback, network and communication tools, document viewers, remote desktop utilities, and much more. | 00:04 |
deany | cabrey, I and at least 5 other people I know it dont | 00:04 |
nai | ouch | 00:04 |
nai | i don't want anything of that | 00:04 |
kev2121 | deany, so, apps do not have the same name? | 00:04 |
nai | (that's why i installed the minimal version so i can only install what i need now) | 00:04 |
usr13 | LewisSharp: You're in a good place actually, 8.04 is LTS and, well, that's a pretty good place to stay. | 00:04 |
LewisSharp | no, I mean to that version. I'm a few version down actually | 00:05 |
LewisSharp | I'm not 100% sure which version I am at right now | 00:05 |
usr13 | LewisSharp: Oh, upgrading TO 8.04 sorry... I didn't read carefully. | 00:05 |
LewisSharp | :) | 00:05 |
cabrey | deany, whatever, i'm not getting into a debate over burning software of all things | 00:05 |
deany | cabrey, and brasero has less features.. It might work for you, thats great. | 00:05 |
cabrey | ;) | 00:05 |
hipitihop | can someone please help me put grub on an usb attached drive, I have copied the boot (ext3) extended and swap from another drive already | 00:05 |
deany | cabrey, even shell tools work better | 00:05 |
VCoolio | nai: you need gnome-core then | 00:05 |
usr13 | LewisSharp: lsb_release -a | 00:06 |
VCoolio | nai: run "aptitude show gnome-core" to see what it contains | 00:06 |
nztal | my dvd burner, doesn't have burnproof technology, it has some other similar technology so that option is greyed out when i right click "write iso" to disc. any chance its being utilized ? | 00:06 |

hipitihop | usr13: reading, thanks | 00:07 |
VCoolio | nai: sorry, I doubt that as it seems I don't have it installed while running gnome ?? check again | 00:08 |
nai | VCoolio already installing gnome-core | 00:09 |
nai | let's see how it goes | 00:09 |
laeg | is there a way to make sudo apt-get show me everything libgtk*? | 00:09 |
shunobies | I can't view my routers admin page in browser because it will only work on Internet Explorer not FF what should i do? | 00:10 |
VCoolio | nai: I think you'll need (one of) the libgnome packages if you only want gnome itself; anyway uninstall gnome-core and run "sudo apt-get autoremove" and you're back where you started | 00:10 |

rww | Um_cara_qualquer: (I think Ubuntu uses "default 0" normally; if you changed it that might be a problem) | 00:57 |
Um_cara_qualquer | rww i asked my teacher about it... he said it could be because there's a # in menu.lst line | 00:57 |

Um_cara_qualquer | yes | 00:57 |
Arkhalis | hmm? | 00:57 |

ScottG | I think I may have just ejected my CD drive on my home computer ( I am at work now) by accident. I want to pull it back in now | 00:57 |
rww | Um_cara_qualquer: yeah, remove that. The whole line should just say timeout 10 (or whatever number you want) | 00:57 |

terr_ | Arkhalis: hmnm - I've done this b4. | 01:07 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: bin years | 01:07 |
laeg | it's definitely installed with synaptic now but i remember changing where pidgin looks | 01:07 |
Arkhalis | bootable usb drive is easier than that | 01:07 |
cabrey | laeg, it depends on the $PATH | 01:07 |

redsoxking | hello everyone | 01:07 |
rww | laeg: when you type in "pidgin", bash looks in your $PATH variable and looks in every directory in there, from left to right, until it finds one. You can see what's in $PATH with "echo $PATH". | 01:08 |
Arkhalis | does it all for you | 01:08 |
cabrey | Arkhalis, why do you need >1 GB drive? | 01:08 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: you will need to 1) install the driver in the mkinitrd helper file - means you need to man mkinitrd | 01:08 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: or modprobe blah | 01:08 |
Arkhalis | cabrey: never said he did... i was saying mine was 2gb but it was extra space | 01:08 |

terr_ | Arkhalis: I'm looking for a real cheap one! | 01:37 |
thinkle79 | fattybutterpance: I haven't tried a live USB but presumably wireless would work -- wireless worked fine when I installed jaunty fresh and it worked fine until the recent kernel upgrade. It also works fine now (with the latest kernel) but my graphics are broken and I can't seem to downgrade. | 01:37 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: how fast is the atom verses a 1.3GHz tualatin core celron? | 01:38 |
geirha | Darck1: Does the login screen have the correct resolution? | 01:38 |
Arkhalis | it's decent at full speed but since it's made to conserve battery life it runs slower 90% of the time | 01:38 |

Arkhalis | yeah... it's actually an ar8132 | 01:39 |

rz187 | is there another way? I thought i did this before | 01:43 |

donny | does any one know how to use wine ? | 01:43 |
sebsebseb | donny: yeah | 01:43 |
sebsebseb | donny: of course | 01:44 |
cabrey | Arkhalis, sorry was away for a little bit | 01:44 |
joel_ | !hi | CapeONE | 01:44 |
ubottu | CapeONE: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:44 |
donny | i am trying to install wow on ubuntu and it tells me to type this into termanil | 01:44 |
Darck1 | bizarre - but I'm not using experimental - I'll try unblugging and replugging though | 01:44 |
donny | cd /home/donavan/desktop>/ | 01:44 |
donny | then wine installer.exe | 01:44 |
donny | when i do that i get this message wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\installer.exe": Module not found | 01:44 |
Arkhalis | cabrey: no worries... i have the pastebin up http://paste.ubuntu.com/201781/ down at the bottom it shows the make install | 01:45 |
joel_ | donny: have you downloaded wine? | 01:45 |
VCoolio | Darck1: I remember a guy having your problem, stuck at 800x600; it helped him | 01:45 |
donny | yes | 01:45 |
donny | and i ahve installed it | 01:45 |
Darck1 | okay - I've unplugged and replugged - I'll restart X | 01:45 |
Darck1 | brb | 01:45 |
cabrey | Arkhalis, run make clean then just make and post that output. btw if you have another computer running 2.6.28-13, you can use that | 01:45 |
Darck1 | aw shit | 01:45 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: you'll note lsmod does not show the driver. try this: locate ar8132 / locate atl1e modprobe ar8132 / modprobe atl1e (should be the same name as in /etc/modules) | 01:46 |
Darck1 | all the stuff I've done has made me lose my "Zap" | 01:46 |
Darck1 | anybody remember what the command is to re-enable zap? | 01:46 |
Flannel | !dontzap | Darck1 | 01:46 |
ubottu | Darck1: 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. | 01:46 |
fattybutterpance | thinkle79: I am not too sure, maybe this link may help... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 | 01:47 |
donny | does any one know what i should do | 01:47 |
geirha | Darck1: It's better to log out and back in again though. That restarts X in a cleaner way | 01:47 |
Darck1 | k thanks | 01:47 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: did you do make init? (Might not be quite correct - been a while since I've done this) | 01:47 |
Arkhalis | terr_: modprobe on ar8132 errored... atl1e seemed fine it listed a bunch and the modprobe had no error | 01:47 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: ya - I see. | 01:47 |
terr_ | try make clean | 01:47 |
terr_ | then your make sequence | 01:48 |
cabrey | pastebin it! | 01:48 |
terr_ | damn - I forget the make sequence | 01:48 |
Arkhalis | ok i will one sec | 01:48 |
donny | should i uninstall wine and reinstal it ? | 01:48 |
laeg | cabrey: you there mate? i sudo aptitude remove pidgin, sudo apt-get autocleanand then tried sudo aptitude install pidgin but it says bash: /usr/local/bin/pidgin: No such file or directory | 01:48 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: do this for me: cd /var/log; dmesg and tell me the bogomips | 01:48 |
thinkle79 | fattybutterpance: Thanks -- I think that's a different graphics driver though. I found this -- http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ -- which has a comment that refers to exactly what I'm experiencing. Unfortunately, the solution (install psb-kernel-source) isn't working as I'm getting error building the module. | 01:48 |
cabrey | laeg, have you tried logging out and back in again? | 01:49 |
geirha | donny: Sure you got the right directory? | 01:49 |
donny | wich directory ? were the wow files are ? | 01:49 |
geirha | donny: Try this. In the terminal type wine followed by a space, then drag the file installer.exe onto the terminal window, then run the command | 01:50 |
donny | i think it workes | 01:51 |
laeg | cabrey: before or after install? | 01:51 |
Arkhalis | terr_: where do i find the bogomips in dmesg? | 01:51 |
cabrey | laeg, after | 01:51 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: at the top | 01:51 |
geirha | donny: Then you had probably "cd"-ed to the wrong directory earlier | 01:51 |
donny | thank you geirha | 01:51 |
laeg | cabrey: when i install pidgin it also doesn't put any shortcuts in the apps menu like it used to in case that's relevant.. | 01:51 |
donny | whats -ed? | 01:51 |
geirha | donny: -ed as in past tense | 01:53 |

BrianV | hi all. Is it possible to install ubuntu to an existing ext4 partition? | 01:53 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: damn - I can't find my goat book! | 01:54 |
donny | o lol i knew that well thank you | 01:54 |
darck1 | tried that and a few other things besides - no dice, still resets to 800x600 | 01:54 |
nellmathew | umm.. how the heck do i get outta zoom desktop in compiz? =X | 01:54 |
usr13 | BrianV: Well, yes, but why not just let the install program repartion and re-format the space for you? | 01:54 |
VCoolio | Darck1: did you also unplug on the monitor side? That was crucial to the guy I remembered; should have mentioned before; http://cafelinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=25.0;msg=159 ; otherwise I'm out of ideas | 01:54 |
BrianV | usr13: because I have an existing fedora 11 partition there I want to overwrite | 01:54 |
usr13 | BrianV: Is it empty? (no files on it?) | 01:54 |
BrianV | usr13: the problem is, the installer isn't picking up on my ext4 partitions | 01:55 |
darck1 | How could that matter? If it's unplugged at one side then... well... the computer won't know that it's unplugged at the other | 01:55 |
usr13 | BrianV: Delete the partiton. | 01:55 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: make sequence: configure; make; make install\ | 01:55 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: make sequence: configure; make; make install | 01:55 |
nellmathew | nvm, just needed to click desktop and super+r, figures.. | 01:55 |
BrianV | usr13: I can't. I have 2 ext4 partitions. The installer just sees it as one big unrecognized lump of disk | 01:56 |
VCoolio | darck1: [quote] how does that make effing sense [/quote] read the link | 01:56 |
Arkhalis | sorry, got the fiance yaking in my ear what does that mean and that | 01:56 |
darck1 | lol | 01:56 |
Arkhalis | can't think lol | 01:56 |
BrianV | that is, it doesn't recognize the individual partitions | 01:56 |
darck1 | I just did | 01:56 |
darck1 | okay - trying again | 01:56 |
cabrey | laeg, gnome sometimes takes a little to update its menu system | 01:56 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: which version of Ubuntu? | 01:56 |
Arkhalis | the dmesg scrolls too far and the top is too far up to read the bogomips | 01:56 |
=== kompulsa_dot_com is now known as Tetracomm |
BrianV | sebsebseb: 9.04 | 01:56 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: and the Live CD won't detect the Fedora Ext4 hum | 01:57 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: NEVER but NEVER say "yacking". tyr dmesg | less | 01:57 |
Arkhalis | also... | 01:57 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: treat em nice! they can make your life miserable | 01:57 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: Ext4 is a bit bad in 9.04 anyway, since no 2.6.30 kernel from the repo as an update and so on | 01:57 |
Arkhalis | for some reason when i save my make sequence into a text doc | 01:57 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: yes. Although now that I think about it... I used LVM, and if I recall, Ubuntu needs extra packages to use LVM | 01:57 |
Arkhalis | text file that is | 01:57 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: Ubuntu only do security updates you see, so 2.6.30 does not count | 01:57 |
Arkhalis | transfer to this pc it comes up gibberish so i can't pastebin it this time | 01:57 |
Arkhalis | it's odd | 01:57 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: dmesg | grep bogo | 01:58 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: hmm... that's a problem then. The Fedora install is troublesome, and I was hoping to upgrade easily. It locks up every time I try to backup my disk | 01:58 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: what country are you in? | 01:58 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: well with the default kernel in 9.04 people can get a lockup when deleting data, it's in the release notes | 01:58 |
darck1 | okay - unplugged and re-plugged, restarting x | 01:58 |
Arkhalis | us | 01:58 |
sebsebseb | !notes | BrianV | 01:58 |
ubottu | BrianV: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes | 01:58 |
terr_ | oh - working the late shift then | 01:58 |
gmap | how do i apt-get install a list of packages from a text file? | 01:59 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: Fedora 11 uses Ext4 by default, and it's meant to be pretty good there :) also Ubuntu 9.10 released at the end of October will be using by default | 01:59 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: ok. Well, I guess my strategy then is to try to get the disk to read with the liveCD so I can back it up. | 01:59 |
Arkhalis | yeah work at a bar | 01:59 |
terr_ | gmap put #/bin/bash as the 1st line and execute it. chmod +c blah ./blah | 01:59 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: then I will reformat to ext3, and start from scratch | 02:00 |
terr_ | chmod +x blah | 02:00 |
Ahadiel | gmap, for pkg in `cat /path/to/file`; do apt-get install $pkg; done | 02:00 |
Darck1 | Well it was a lovely little ride - but it didn't help | 02:00 |
Ahadiel | gmap, but that's assuming each package is on it's own line | 02:00 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: how about starting from scratch with at least / in Ext4, at least then Ubuntu is faster to boot. | 02:00 |
Ddorda | will Intel Core2Duo E2180 run ubuntu fine? | 02:00 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: I'd like a beer | 02:00 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: keep data on Ext3 for now | 02:00 |
gmap | ok thx Ahadiel | 02:00 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: because /home is already on EXT4 from the Fedora 11 install | 02:01 |
will | I hope this is the channel for people that just did stupid things. I just ran gzip on a directory without using tar first. Is there anyway to unzip all of the .gz files in all of the subdirectories at once? | 02:01 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: right, but you made it sound like you were going to start over from scratch with all Ext3 | 02:01 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: what is the cheapest eeepc you have come across? | 02:01 |
Ahadiel | gmap, np | 02:01 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: I may have to. If EXT4 support isn't ready in Ubuntu, no sense keeping it | 02:01 |
gogeta | terr_ 900a ebay 150$ | 02:02 |
SeekingNothing | I've got an error when I try to uninstall things that reads "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 02:02 |
SeekingNothing | E: _cache->open() failed, please report." when I enter that into the terminal I get the following error, "dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0004' near line 14 package 'labyrinth': EOF during value field 'Description' (missing final newline)". What do I do? | 02:02 |
Mike_lifeguard | will: probably look for an -r option in man gzip? | 02:02 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: when doing another distro, it's probably usaully better to start over from scratch well for stuff such as / | 02:02 |
gogeta | new | 02:02 |
samorai | hi! gye | 02:02 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: well, / I would have. But /home I was trying to save | 02:02 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: delete the Fedora / and start over with an Ubuntu / | 02:02 |
Mike_lifeguard | will: or use find and tell it to unzip them | 02:02 |
gmap | Ahadiel: would this work? "$apt-get install | cat pkg.list" | 02:02 |
terr_ | gogeta: a 701 is fine too | 02:02 |
samorai | wher's I can get Ubuntu.fr | 02:02 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: that's the problem. The disk has a / and a /home partition, both EXT4. The installer doesn't see them | 02:02 |
Darck1 | so - something is setting my rez to 800x600 when I log in... but we don't know what... | 02:02 |
gogeta | terr 900a has a atom but the celroms are not bad | 02:03 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: it just sees one big unrecognized partition | 02:03 |
Ahadiel | gmap, that doesn't make sense. You would pipe the output of cat pkg.list to apt-get if anything. | 02:03 |
Mike_lifeguard | will: confirmed, -r exists for gzip | 02:03 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: the installer right, but manual install is pretty limited anyway | 02:03 |
samorai | Ubuntu fr Please I want Link | 02:03 |
Ahadiel | gmap, I'm not sure if apt-get reads from stdin | 02:03 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: what about gparted? system > administaration > partition editor | 02:03 |
gogeta | terr i can get 5 hrs off this 3 cell battery without wifi on | 02:03 |
gogeta | 3 with | 02:03 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: checking... | 02:03 |
gmap | Ahadiel: ok just wondering, your other way is working anyway. | 02:03 |
VCoolio | gmap: dpkg --set-selections < path/to/file | 02:03 |
Arkhalis | alright, i give up... no wired ethernet for me | 02:04 |
terr_ | gogeta: I'm just going to use it as a web server | 02:04 |
gogeta | terr why you ask | 02:04 |
gogeta | oh | 02:04 |
will | Mike_lifeguard: I've tried gunzip *.gz -r and that is telling me no such file or directory. | 02:04 |
infinity217 | how do i turn off wifi on my eee h1000 (fn+f2 dont work) ? | 02:04 |
Arkhalis | terr_: what was that dmesg grep bogo what? | 02:04 |
terr_ | gogeta: I don't even need a KB and screen. | 02:04 |
Ahadiel | gmap, that's good. | 02:04 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: Gparted sees them | 02:04 |
Mike_lifeguard | will: no, give it the directory, and use -r | 02:04 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: I just want to know what the bogoips are on the atom cpu. | 02:04 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: ok well this is how I do it :) well except last time when I tried the alternate CD out for my first time | 02:04 |
Mike_lifeguard | will: gunzip -r /path/to/directory | 02:04 |
gogeta | terr acer one or a eee ha more storage space unless you add a sd card or usb hdd | 02:04 |
samorai | I want to Install Winrar because I have problem tu unzip rar | 02:04 |
terr_ | gogeta: I'd be happy with a broken one!!! LOL | 02:05 |
Arkhalis | yeah just tell me what to type and i will tell you before i head out for work | 02:05 |
infinity217 | install unrar | 02:05 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: step 1 set up the partitions in Gparted step 2 follow the installer through and finnish off in manual install, ticking format on the partitions and telling it what to use them as | 02:05 |
scunizi | samorai: install unrar instead | 02:05 |
terr_ | gogeta: 8GBN is lots | 02:05 |

Arkhalis | terr_: was it grep | bogo or something? | 02:06 |
samorai | thanks i test it | 02:06 |

RkyRaccoon | does anyone know how to install alice on ubuntu 9.04? | 02:06 |
terr_ | Arkhalis: join us here: #gogeta | 02:06 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: hmm. except they are LVM. So the installer won't recognize them | 02:06 |
suman | can i add the sources to my hardy heron and do the install? | 02:06 |
will | Mike: that worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Have a great evening. | 02:06 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: maybe Ubuntu don't have LVM yet or something, Ubuntu is behind Fedora here and there always, it seems | 02:06 |
samorai | thanks It's good | 02:07 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: yeah Fedora is more cutting edge, later stuff before Ubuntu | 02:07 |
infinity217 | it's too fast to ask anything! | 02:07 |
BrianV | sebsebseb: LVM has been around for 10 years. I imagine it has it, it's just not in the installer for some reason | 02:07 |
laeg | cabrey: sometimes gnome takes time to update the menu ok, but you also think that after a relog it will reconigse pidgin as a command? | 02:07 |
Arkhalis | i am there | 02:07 |
sebsebseb | BrianV: ah ha maybe you need the alternate CD for LVM | 02:07 |
laeg | cabrey: can't i even goto pidgin wherever it is and open it to see if it runs? | 02:07 |
Darck1 | checking .xsession-errors file and I find where it's changing the resolution, I've just got to find out why and how | 02:07 |

I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard, which indicates that Xmodmap no longer works and you need to use the Keyboard Preferences configuration tool. I've tried that, and it doesn't seem to work. Checking "Left Alt is swapped with Left Win" just causes them *both* to be mapped to Alt. | 02:10 |

Apollo2366 | Hey guys, I'm connected to a windows machine on a crossover ethernet cable, I have Samba installed and running, and when I attempt to open a public share, it gives an error message "Could not display "smb://cory-pc/michael/". File is an unknown type." | 02:49 |
tyk3 | I'm having a really irritating time with my network connection. Whenever I turn my PC on, the network manager fails to connect to the wired network. Clicking on it in network manager manually just makes it time out. However, if I reboot the PC, it connects automatically on boot, no problem. | 02:49 |
tyk3 | I've tried disabling network manager, but no dice. It still won't connect till I reboot it. I have absolutely no idea how to go about de-bugging this, and no idea what could be causing it. I'm using 9.04, and the router is using DHCP. None of the other PCs connected to it have this problem, whether they're wireless or ethernet. Does anyone have any ideas? | 02:49 |

BGL-[e] | pretty sure it's not having hardware issues as windows wasn't having any freezing or anything | 04:20 |
cornwall | el_americano: did you try 'sudo apt-get autoremove' and 'sudo apt-get clean' as well? | 04:20 |

JohnnyBGoode | any help with a USB headset? | 04:23 |
usr13 | Ademan: bastidrazor There's also midnight commander | 04:23 |

Apollo2366 | Zosh, hold on | 04:37 |
Zosh | Apollo2366: ok | 04:37 |
koshari | Zosh it will take a lot longer and theres often the risk of probs when you skip a dist | 04:37 |
Apollo2366 | usr13, yeah why? | 04:37 |
Zosh | hmm | 04:37 |
cornwall | Zosh: I think it would be best in the long run to get your hands on another CD | 04:38 |
n2diy__ | Zosh: get the latest LTS version, 8.10, and then you can upgrade to 9.04. | 04:38 |

ramael | I dont want to end up with stupid virows X3 | 04:38 |
Apollo2366 | Zosh, try "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 04:38 |
koshari | n2diy 8.10 isnt a LTS ver | 04:38 |
n2diy__ | koshari: I was afraid of that, can' find my notes. | 04:38 |
JayX | ramael: whats a virows? | 04:38 |

Ademan | usr13: as I understand it midnight commander is a full file manager really, all I want is dumping out a directory structure in this format: http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-package-data | 04:41 |
hikenboot | i dont think there is a problem with the disks. | 04:41 |
Zosh | koshari: hmm I'll try.. :( | 04:41 |
hikenboot | I think its an installer bug | 04:41 |
cornwall | JayX: er, sorry, it's called "main menu" | 04:41 |
JayX | cornwall: now i know how to add an app, i want more viewing space! | 04:41 |
koshari | Zosh you can use unetbootin to copy the iso onto the stick | 04:41 |
Apollo2366 | Zosh, well there should be something... if there's not, try finding a program in the repos if you can | 04:41 |
hikenboot | using the 9.04 server disk | 04:41 |
Zosh | Apollo2366: how? | 04:41 |
el_americano | thanks cornwall and bastidrazor, I had to remove libempathys, gtks, and commons too, but it eventually reverted. Yahoo still doesn't work, but I'll keep messing with it. Maybe pidgin plus the new server will be the answer for a while, but empathy should be working. | 04:42 |
Zosh | I can't use synaptic and sudo apt-get install wont install anything | 04:42 |
cornwall | JayX: This isn't adding an app. the "Main Menu" is just a little Ubuntu symbol that will make things much more consolidated | 04:42 |
kain | hi all, does anyone know of a site that publishes ubuntu or linux news and stuff like that (like pcworld is for windows) | 04:42 |
JayX | cornwall: i want to change t5he tittle of the thing and make it shoerter eg. i want to change the "applications: to "apps" | 04:42 |
Apollo2366 | Zosh, hmm that sucks. Well just download the iso for now. | 04:42 |
msl | mbennette68, You should have a look at ~/.profile if you want to alter your PATH | 04:42 |
bastidrazor | el_americano, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-Yahoo-problem-in-Pidgin-114754.shtml you could use this deb if !Y is still fubared | 04:43 |

mbennette68 | cool thanks for your help :) | 04:43 |

JayX | n2diy__: i want horizontal view, not vertical | 04:44 |
hikenboot | i think the installer uses dmraid | 04:44 |
hikenboot | its not hardware raid if thats what you mean | 04:44 |
n2diy__ | JayK right click on the panel, then properties, and you can adjust the location. | 04:45 |
Apollo2366 | Zosh, and keep asking back here. Someone more knowlegable than I will help you out. | 04:45 |
el_americano | bastidrazor: Yes, I had pidgin working with the new server. I was just trying to move to empathy. | 04:45 |

arkhalis | ecret: swap is just a term for using a portion of your hard drive as ram... slower but allows for things like 20gb of ram | 05:27 |

losher | WIGGMPk: I just meant that there's no point complaining to me, because I completely agree with you. You could file a bug report, I suppose... | 05:36 |
deagle | i did export DISPLAY=:0.0 and tried it but got nothing :( | 05:36 |
BePhantom | mikepark, thank you! | 05:36 |
arkhalis | Gold_bullet: unfortunately i haven't the slightest clue why that would happen >< other than an overheating issue but for an external drive that seems rediculous... | 05:36 |

WIGGMPk | losher: just sucks the user's got caught up in some drama | 05:37 |
arkhalis | Gold_bullet: Hmm, the chipset would make sense with overheating but i doubt thats linked to the dwa-130 | 05:37 |

Gold_bullet | arkhalis, yah, its that one | 05:37 |
deagle | Gnea: i just don't want to have the programs running die on me :( is there any way to prevent that? | 05:38 |
Gnea | deagle: otherwise you'd need to allow X to receive remote requests, which it doesn't by default unless you've changed that behavior via gdm's config | 05:38 |
arkhalis | Gold_bullet: I have the same one somewhere, used to use it for adhoc networking lol (don't ask) | 05:38 |

arkhalis | Gold_bullet: try reinstalling it using ndiswrapper... or try charging a phone or something in the same usb port for some time | 05:39 |
deagle | Gnea: oic | 05:39 |
losher | WIGGMPk: the sad truth is, linux burning tools are inferior, like most of its multimedia stuff... | 05:39 |
Gnea | deagle: e16, at the very least, allows you to restart the WM if it crashes (it self-heals) | 05:39 |
Gold_bullet | arkhalis, phone? how will this help? | 05:39 |
Gnea | so you never lose any running app | 05:39 |
arkhalis | Gold_bullet: that will determine if it's the usb port or the wireless key... other than that perhaps someone else in here can help you more? try asking again | 05:39 |

deagle | Gnea: and openbox! :D | 05:42 |
loof | gnea: heh, true that, i guess =D | 05:42 |
arkhalis | Gold_bullet: though that won't answer your question for sure but it will eliminate one possibility it's not the power draw on your usb ports | 05:42 |

philsf | loof, Isn't there a package in jaunty? | 05:43 |
deagle | untill I play too much with the menu settings :S | 05:43 |
unitheory | vintage single-core processors? | 05:43 |
deagle | \O/ ftw! | 05:44 |
Arkhalis|AFK | Gold_bullet: I was trying to figure out if it was your nvidia update or the wireless key that was the issue | 05:44 |
deagle | barely needs a heatsink, much less a fah | 05:44 |
deagle | *fan | 05:44 |
Gnea | i like booting up jaunty with e17 on my sempron - time to gdm login: less than 20 seconds. time to full desktop: 1 second. | 05:44 |
loof | philsf, : i assumed you were using that. if not, then yeah, update from a package =S | 05:44 |

WIGGMPk | Anyone use Pidgin along with MySpace IM? My account never connects | 05:45 |
deagle | Gnea: speaking of which, where do I tell X to autoload my background? .xinitrc won't do the trick | 05:45 |
Gold_bullet | Arkhalis|AFK, like a full crash of the system | 05:45 |
ziroday | WIGGMPk: #pidgin might be helpful, that and triple checking your login details | 05:45 |
Gnea | deagle: i'm not sure with openbox... maybe try #openbox? | 05:45 |
deagle | Gnea: openbox doesn't handle backgrounds | 05:46 |
Gnea | deagle: have you tried Xsetroot? | 05:46 |
deagle | hell, it barely gives you a menu to launch stuff from! :D | 05:46 |
WIGGMPk | ziroday: ill check them out, past the login credentials | 05:46 |
Arkhalis|AFK | Gold_bullet: afk for a few, try asking others in the channel.. I really have no idea =p sorry | 05:46 |
deagle | Gnea: oh yeah, it's just I have to do it manually when I log in since .xinitrc wont play nice | 05:46 |
Gold_bullet | ok then Arkhalis|AFK | 05:47 |
* Gold_bullet attempts to fix the problem | 05:47 |
ziroday | deagle: if you are using openbox then add the command to your openbox startup file | 05:47 |
deagle | Gnea: I guess my real question is: where does ubuntu store info to launch apps from @ startup? | 05:47 |
Gnea | deagle: iirc, it should go like this: line1: #!/bin/sh line2: Xsetroot -s /path/to/the/pic.jpg line3: openbox | 05:47 |
deagle | ziroday: there's such a thing? o_O | 05:47 |
Gnea | deagle: that's dependent on the desktop manager | 05:47 |
Dr_Willis | deagle: depends on the desktop. :) kde and gmome both support session management, and the autostart directory | 05:48 |
Dr_Willis | !autostart | 05:48 |
ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 05:48 |
deagle | but i don't have a desktop manager :P | 05:48 |
Gnea | deagle: so gnome/metacity carries that in ~/.gconf and ~/.gnome | 05:48 |
Dr_Willis | deagle: teres always making your own .xinitrc or some other methods like we used years ago | 05:48 |
Gnea | well then, you have to make them launch in the background in .xinitrc before launching your wm :) | 05:48 |
ziroday | deagle: yes, http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Autostart and #openbox on irc.oftc.net | 05:48 |

``y7 | guys, it looks like i have to say bye to ubuntu. basically when i run ubuntu as my router, it screws up my ONT to where I have to reset the ONT (verizon fios thing). debian doesn't have this issue, nor do any other standard routers, such as linksys or actiontec. unless anybody has any additional ideas on how to fix this...??? :( | 05:52 |

``y7 | Gnea, because i'm using the computer as a desktop/server | 05:53 |

``y7 | Gnea: and because i'm a n00by to linux | 05:53 |

WIGGMPk | losher: thats a long shot i think... could brasero effectively disable my dvd drive...? for the system...? maybe a udev problem? somehow | 05:55 |

scales11 | unitheory: haha | 06:14 |
usingartistxlive | loof, I can't get in, to enable root password | 06:14 |
WIGGMPk | usingartistxlive: why do you need to enable root? just use sudo | 06:15 |
WIGGMPk | losher: nothing... thanks for troubleshooting with me.. | 06:15 |
losher | WIGGMPk: sorry I couldn't solve it... | 06:15 |
unitheory | scales11, with a minimal install the good thing is you can try out a bunch of desktop environments and remove them if you don't like them and you control what's installed | 06:16 |
WIGGMPk | losher: its ok.. | 06:16 |
usingartistxlive | WIGGMPk, I can't boot into X, it crashed to jibberish. I can't boot into anywhere except up to where that pswd is required. | 06:16 |
WIGGMPk | usingartistxlive: in the recovery console? have you tried using a livecd? | 06:16 |
losher | usingartistxlive: can you boot a live-cd ? | 06:17 |
* WIGGMPk rawr /flex | 06:17 |
usingartistxlive | WIGGMPk, yes, I am on a live DVD ubuntu-based ArtistX, on the crashed machine. | 06:17 |
Arkhalis | terr_ : Wake up ya lazy bum! | 06:17 |
WIGGMPk | usingartistxlive: so mount your / and edit the xorg.conf file (paste the contents on pastebin) | 06:18 |
scales11 | unitheory: yeah i know but i still have to go into every detail | 06:18 |
scales11 | unitheory: plus i have tried them all :) | 06:18 |
drmrhorse_ | i broke my jackalope. after i updated compiz and a few other things today, my desktop fails to load. i get to the login screen, login, and the screen disappears and comes back. tried restarting x, rebooting, recovery mode with xfix. starting a console session then doing startx gets me a desktop with no sound. any ideas? | 06:18 |
WIGGMPk | usingartistxlive: are you comfortable with the command line? show me what "sudo fdisk -l" tells you on pastebin | 06:18 |
usingartistxlive | WIGGMPk, okay, will check, back in a bit I hope.... | 06:19 |
unitheory | scales11, all of them? theres what like 7-10 desktop environments? | 06:19 |
loof | usingartistxlive, : you could try ALT+PRINTSCREEN+RSEIUOR | 06:19 |
ibmman | what do you use to extrat .rar files in ubuntu | 06:19 |
scales11 | :) | 06:19 |
WIGGMPk | ibmman: archive manager... just double click on it | 06:19 |
scales11 | unitheory: i have been messing with arch, and ubuntu for a while now | 06:19 |
jeeves_moss | ok, sound with my 82801G audio controller, I can't get it to work. how do I fix it? | 06:19 |
losher | ibmman: use 'unrar' | 06:19 |
scales11 | unitheory: i just cant settle on one though | 06:19 |
WIGGMPk | ibmman: losher oops thats right.. | 06:19 |
drmrhorse_ | for unrar you need ubuntu-restricted-extras, no? | 06:20 |
Dr_Willis | !rar | 06:20 |
ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 06:20 |
scales11 | unitheory: ubuntu has its options and settings a little spread out, harder to find in a whim | 06:20 |
Dr_Willis | drmrhorse_: not that i am aware of. | 06:20 |
drmrhorse_ | hmm | 06:20 |
ktne | hello | 06:20 |
Dr_Willis | drmrhorse_: it might be included in that (the restricted-extras is a meta-packages) | 06:20 |
ktne | i'm trying to install firefox 3.5beta on ubuntu | 06:20 |
voss | drmrhorse, try rolling back to a previous kernel in grub | 06:20 |
drmrhorse_ | thats what im thinking | 06:20 |
ktne | i downloaded the .bz2 file and unpacked it in /tmp | 06:20 |
WIGGMPk | Dr_Willis: that is awesome....!!! | 06:21 |
Dr_Willis | WIGGMPk: what is? | 06:21 |
scales11 | unitheory: night | 06:21 |
unitheory | scales11, i hear good things about arch but haven't tried it | 06:21 |
unitheory | scales11, peace | 06:21 |
ktne | but when i try to run ./firefox, i get an error: ./run-mozilla.sh: 399: ./firefox-bin: not found , but ./firefox-bin is right there, in the same directory | 06:21 |
ktne | any idea? | 06:21 |
WIGGMPk | Dr_Willis: nvm... im having a converstation with my self i think... IE: (the restricted-extras is a meta-packages).... that is awesome...! | 06:21 |
losher | ktne: is it executable? | 06:22 |
SyphonSilent | hey guys | 06:22 |
SyphonSilent | how do I open an rpm file? | 06:22 |
Arkhalis | WIGGMPk: Talking to yourself can be good sometimes | 06:22 |
WIGGMPk | Dr_Willis: as in, its an awesome meta-package... yea just nvm | 06:22 |
Dr_Willis | WIGGMPk: meta-packages are veyr common in the Ubuntu packages. :) like 'ubuntu-desktop' and 'kubuntu-desktop' | 06:22 |
loof | usingartistxlive, : actually, that should be ALT+PRINTSCREEN+R (takes back keyboard control if X is holding keyboard/mouse. you can then ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal, login, enable the root account, and fix your install | 06:22 |
scales11 | unitheory: arch is nice but lots of setup, and then when i think i am all set, more setup! pacman is decent though, but autocomplete is slower than ubuntu, much slower, | 06:22 |
dsdeiz_ | !alien | 06:22 |
ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 06:22 |
drmrhorse_ | voss: i will try this but the kernel didnt update | 06:22 |
scales11 | unitheory: bye for now | 06:22 |
ktne | losher: yes it is executable, green in the console | 06:22 |
WIGGMPk | Arkhalis: i suppose it could.. but im completing other people sentences... | 06:22 |

saiki | DeCypher1, you mean fuse-icon? or the other one? | 06:25 |

dsdeiz_ | did you do anything or did it just work all 'out of the box'? | 06:30 |

WIGGMPk | ramas: well... worst case scenario its the hardware.. meaning her cd/dvd drive might have went.. you'll need the machine to trouble shoot it though | 06:30 |
ramas | WIGGMPk: is not from the plugins or anything she cant burn anything cuz seems the system doiesnt get aware of the blank cds | 06:30 |
coz_ | ramael, sorry | 06:30 |
WIGGMPk | ramas: is there another OS on the machine to test? | 06:30 |
coz_ | ramas, was this a clean install .. an upgrade...and was th is happening from the get go? | 06:31 |
WIGGMPk | ramas: do other cd/dvd's work? like software/games/etc? | 06:31 |
loof | you can try turning it back on, but make sure your hardware supports compiz and you're running in a res that compiz can actually display properly | 06:31 |

voss | ramas, do you have a spare cd burner you can use to test it with? | 06:31 |
coz_ | Owner, then make sure window is defragged properly before installing ubuntu unless its on a separate drive | 06:32 |
karatekickz | anyone help me with headless vnc issue? | 06:32 |
loof | 0wner: installing windows first is probably easier. there are guides to installing xp & linux & dualbooting on youtube & google | 06:32 |
mutew | Owner, Windows.... | 06:32 |
WIGGMPk | ramas: im not sure on this one bud.. someone more knowledgeable will need to tackle this.. perhaps the media??? have you tried different brands?? | 06:32 |
coz_ | karatekickz, if no one can here try #linux channel it is more across the board and less ubuntu specific | 06:32 |
mutew | Owner, Ubuntu will atleast play along nicely and add Windows as a multi-boot option | 06:32 |
Tohuw | jerroome: I'm seeing two things of interest: "gdm_config_value_get_bool: assertion 'value->type == GDM_CONFIG_VALUE_BOOL' failed" and "failed to start x sefveral times in a short time period; disabling dispaly :0" | 06:33 |
karatekickz | tried linux help... they werent helpful | 06:33 |
karatekickz | I also googled a ton | 06:33 |
mutew | Owner, The same cannot be said of Windows, it will overwrite the MBR on install and you will have to use another method to access the Ubuntu install. | 06:33 |
karatekickz | this seem distro specific | 06:33 |

karatekickz | I need to find the file that lauches it | 06:34 |
stan_man_can | actually the easiest thing for me personally when setting up a dual boot is to install on seperate hard drives and change in bios | 06:34 |

newbyx86 | Schweet. Got my Ubuntu server all up to date. | 06:36 |
ramas1 | she says the brand is sony, I told her to buy a verbatim and imation tomorrow and try those maybe its some kind of weird model of cd-r I have heard of ones not working | 06:36 |

bazhang | sam____, sudo dhclient eth0 (for ethernet) | 06:39 |

SyphonSilent | can someone help me find a download accelerator? | 06:40 |
bazhang | sam____, don't worry about that | 06:40 |
sam____ | yeah | 06:40 |
mutew | karatekickz, did you find a .vnc folder in the remote system? | 06:40 |
sam____ | so where do i tell you from? | 06:40 |
ramas | jerome: so u didnt catch anything from what I told voss ... ok again | 06:40 |
JayX | loof was it you that told me to install WIDC to creat an Ad-hoc? | 06:40 |
bazhang | !info aria2 | SyphonSilent | 06:40 |

zortec | NM says that my device is not managed. It worked when I first installed ubuntu, now the network is not being monitored. Any ideas? | 06:40 |
sam____ | after listing some other stuff: No DHCPOFFERS recieved. | 06:40 |
losher | karatekickz: did you look in ~/.vnc like mutew said? | 06:40 |
JayX | Where can I view the log, of this chatroom online??? | 06:40 |
Owner | mutew, all it says is a file that is missing | 06:41 |
sam____ | No working leases in peristent databas - sleeping. | 06:41 |
mutew | Owner, I need to know the file name. | 06:41 |
Owner | mutew, let me go look up which file it is | 06:41 |
zortec | JayX: I don't believe there is a log of this IRC room. | 06:41 |
mutew | Owner, Was it nt32.dll? | 06:41 |
JayX | < --- Needs to know : Where can I view the log, of this chatroom online??? | 06:41 |
drmrhorse_ | my x session problem was fixed by changing from kdm to gdm. kdm used to work for me with gnome, but no more i guess | 06:41 |
losher | JayX: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com | 06:41 |
ramas | my gfiends lap has jaunty, it doesn mount the blank cd's and as such it cant burn them, brasero for ex keeps askling her to enter a medium to write to, the blank cd icon wont even show on the desktop | 06:41 |
voss | So its cd-r not cd-rw | 06:41 |
Ophelix | Hiya I got a Question | 06:41 |
bazhang | !logs > JayX | 06:41 |
ubottu | JayX, please see my private message | 06:41 |
Owner | metew, i have no idea brb let me check | 06:41 |
ramas | voss: nope she says theyŕe cd-r | 06:41 |
Ophelix | Is there a way to get a USB Game Controller working in ubuntu? | 06:42 |
voss | They might have already been used | 06:42 |
ramas | voss: I told her to buy a couple more tomorrow, verbatim and/or imation Ive had good exp with those brands | 06:42 |
zortec | I'm unsure how to configure my network. I want to set up a DSL connection so I put in the username and password, but I don't know what to put for service. | 06:42 |
Arkhalis | Ophelix: it should work automatically... if you need calibration there is an app called Joystick Calibrator in the repos | 06:42 |
JayX | losher, bazhang #ubuntu.txt is this chat room right? | 06:42 |
zortec | My network is working fine, but it's not being managed by network connections | 06:43 |
voss | by the way what is the brand of cd burner in there? | 06:43 |
ramas | I have the hope its just some issue with the cd brand and another iwll work | 06:43 |
jerroome` | ramas I have never heard that some brands weren't working, can't give you any hint for it, as voss said, are you sure the cd are blank ? | 06:43 |
mutew | karatekickz, try searching for the vncserver -geometry... | 06:43 |
bazhang | JayX, yep | 06:43 |
zortec | It says that no valid active connections are found. | 06:43 |
karatekickz | I see nothing in there other than passwd | 06:43 |
Ophelix | Well it doesnt, its a Tesun USB 706, but Im running it on the EEE-PC Hardy Lean Kernel, would that make a different | 06:43 |
mutew | karatekickz, command call, it should be in /etc (probably in rc.local) if you are running it headless as you say. | 06:43 |
ramas | she says the cd's come from a bunch her father bought u know, from office max | 06:43 |
karatekickz | also why dont I see .vnc when I ls the /~ | 06:43 |
bazhang | SyphonSilent, please ask in channel (not via PM) | 06:44 |
ramas | tjhey dont have labels and come in a tower | 06:44 |
karatekickz | I looked and rc.local | 06:44 |
karatekickz | no reference | 06:44 |
voss | ramas what is the brand of the drive | 06:44 |
jerroome` | sam____ are you allowed to connect to that network ? isn't it filtered trough MAC adresses ? | 06:44 |
ramas | I can fetch u the model and brand of the burner | 06:44 |
ramas | hold | 06:44 |
mutew | karatekickz, do a grep for "vncserver" in /etc | 06:44 |
Arkhalis | Ophelix: I am running on an eeepc 1008ha and every controller i have plugged in works automatically /dev/input/js if the app needs a controller location | 06:44 |
sam____ | um, it could be, i guess, but it's my own home network and everything else works fine without having to do any setup of that kind | 06:44 |
Owner | mutew, it does not say the dll name all its says, "some dlls are needed for loading the kernel" | 06:45 |
Arkhalis | try the joystick calibrator to see if it's really there... if not perhaps try finding drivers for it | 06:45 |
mutew | karatekickz, or if your fs has updatedb then try and do a "locate xstartup" | 06:45 |
Ophelix | Alright Ill give it a try one minuto | 06:45 |
losher | karatekickz: you need 'ls -a' to see files starting with a dot | 06:45 |
Arkhalis | Ophelix: try the joystick calibrator to see if it's really there... if not perhaps try finding drivers for it | 06:45 |
mutew | Owner, in that case you could try booting from the WinXP cd and running the repair option. | 06:45 |
jerroome` | do you use that network for the moment with another machine, if yes have a look at your dhcp-server config | 06:45 |
zortec | Where can I find a troubleshooting guide for the network manager on 9.04? | 06:46 |

Apollo2366 | Hey, I'm having trouble with Pidgin using the Yahoo protocol. | 06:46 |
Owner | mutew, alright thank you very much | 06:46 |
loof | JayX, : i said to watch that video on youtube and try that | 06:46 |
JimBiggs | hi there people, i've got a problem, X won't start (or will start but display a black empty screen) since a few minutes ago (after the restart following today's update) | 06:46 |
SyphonSilent | Does anyone know how to use Aria2? | 06:46 |
JayX | loff i did, but i dont have the bash commands to create an ad-hov | 06:46 |
JayX | hoc* | 06:46 |
Arkhalis | Ophelix: please tag your message when you come back so i know you are talking to me... don't always catch it without | 06:47 |
JimBiggs | anyone having video issues since the last update? | 06:47 |
Ophelix | Arkhalis: Alright ill be sure to do that | 06:47 |
rameshworr | Apollo2366: same here. it's not working.. | 06:47 |
Arkhalis | Ophelix: perfect, thanks | 06:47 |
karatekickz | thx for helping btw mutew | 06:47 |
SyphonSilent | Does anyone know how to use aria2? | 06:48 |
JayX | loof i did, but i dont have the bash commands to create an ad-hov | 06:48 |
jerroome` | JimBiggs can you access a terminal ? | 06:48 |
mutew | karatekickz, any luck yet? | 06:48 |
Apollo2366 | rameshworr, that's three for three then, I think it's a problem with Pidgin | 06:48 |
karatekickz | what would the exact comand be for the grep request? | 06:48 |
Apollo2366 | rameshworr, my friend has the same problem | 06:48 |
karatekickz | any parameters? | 06:48 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, yes, i'm in it just right now, but all i can see in dmesg is "[drm: i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 0" | 06:48 |
mutew | grep "vncserver" /etc -r | 06:48 |
losher | JayX: what's an ad-hoc? | 06:48 |
jerroome` | if yes, backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 06:49 |
ramas | voss: sorry the lap is at her home I canbt find the burner model and I dont recall what it was, all I can tell u is a Gateway mx 6009m with celeron 2.1Ghz processor | 06:49 |
mutew | karatekickz, grep "vncserver" /etc -r | 06:49 |
jerroome` | and then execute sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 06:49 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, backup done, and then? | 06:49 |
JayX | losher, good question... it something to do with shareing a network connections | 06:49 |
JayX | !info ad-hoc | 06:49 |
ubottu | Package ad-hoc does not exist in jaunty | 06:49 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, ok, i'll try that straight away and keep you updated ;) | 06:49 |
Ophelix | Arkhalis: Alright sweetness all i needed to do was install the configurator thanks! | 06:49 |
usingartistxlive | loof ,WIGGMPk, how do I get the terminal from a live-cd to administer changes to the installed OS, or, if easier, how do I get the root password enabled on the installed OS from the live-cd terminal? I got lost in the shell there for awhile. | 06:49 |
ramas | my father has the exact same model and the burner worked without issues to burn 2 dvd¡'s and a cd-r last week | 06:49 |
jerroome` | don't need to reboot | 06:49 |
zortec | Where can I get help for network manager? | 06:49 |
voss | ramas, the best strategy try the other brand cds tommorow, if they dont work , replace the drive | 06:49 |
JayX | losher, wifi connection* | 06:49 |
jerroome` | execute telinit S | 06:49 |
Arkhalis | Ophelix: Glad to help, and remember if the app you run needs the controller location it's /dev/input/js | 06:49 |
jerroome` | and then launch X manually again | 06:49 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, telinit S ? | 06:49 |
unitheory | JayX, losher, ad-hoc is a network with a mobile device such as a laptop acting as the access point | 06:50 |
JimBiggs | with startx? | 06:50 |
jerroome` | with gdm if you use gnome | 06:50 |
JimBiggs | oh ok gdm | 06:50 |
karatekickz | lots of permission denied when run from /~ | 06:50 |
mutew | losher, an ad-hoc connection is a type of network connection built without the aid of any external networking infrastructure.. | 06:50 |
karatekickz | no hits | 06:50 |
JimBiggs | ok i'll try that straight away ;) | 06:50 |
jerroome` | ok | 06:50 |
Ophelix | Arkhalis: Got it Alright thanks again | 06:50 |
losher | makes sense, thanks all... | 06:50 |
mutew | losher, so for eg. the connection between a couple of laptops, mobiles or PDA's without the use of a router is an ad-goc connection. | 06:50 |
ramas | well, we'll see wuth the other cd's Ill have more info tomorrow and then Ill ask again if necessary, if its worth it, in windows vista she burned a dvd prior to wiping it, the lap is brand new | 06:50 |
JayX | unitheory, so then how doe tethering work? is the lapot is the access point? | 06:50 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, telinit S shows me a recovery menu, what should i choose? | 06:51 |
unitheory | JayX, not sure about that one ;] | 06:51 |
JayX | unitheory, ok :P | 06:51 |
sam____ | also, when i go into attached devices it only shows my windows desktop and my macbook, not the ubuntu desktop | 06:51 |
jerroome` | normal resume or similar | 06:51 |
sam____ | on my router that is | 06:51 |
ramas | thx for the help, I hope I dont have to downgrade it to hardy, as it works pretty well and she has all her apps and look and feel already set in jaunty | 06:51 |
voss | ramas, you can also try creating an ubuntu live cd on another computer and if it wont boot the disc then you know. | 06:52 |
karatekickz | I gotta run mute thanks for the help so far...I guess I will google more | 06:52 |
losher | karatekickz: which parameter do you want to add? | 06:52 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, i think i screwed something up with telinit S, i'll just reboot | 06:52 |
karatekickz | whatever teh screen res para is I have to google again | 06:52 |
jerroome` | ok, reboot | 06:53 |
jerroome` | but don't worry, nothing can be broken | 06:53 |
mutew | karatekickz, try searching for vncserver -geometry 640x480 | 06:53 |
mutew | karatekickz, that should be the command line invocation | 06:53 |
ramas | voss: k, but she says data and music cd's are mounted fine, the only proib is with blank cds | 06:53 |
karatekickz | -geometry | 06:53 |
losher | karatekickz: as I understand it, mythbubtu runs the gnome desktop, and gnome has a VINO server built in, which serves vnc' | 06:53 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, could this issue be because i added the "latest video drivers source" in apt lately? (like a week ago | 06:54 |
karatekickz | nah it defaults cause I am running headless | 06:54 |
mutew | losher, but he's talking of a headless vnc system. | 06:54 |
ramas | problem is she doesnt live with me yet so I wont be sure until friday when I see her and the laptop | 06:54 |
karatekickz | I cant even find a reference for freaking vnc | 06:54 |
karatekickz | its simple | 06:54 |
karatekickz | I just gotta add that paramte | 06:54 |
voss | ramas, a ubuntu live cd is an iso . If the system will boot the live cd, then its not a drive reading problem | 06:54 |
karatekickz | I acannot belive this is that difficult | 06:54 |
karatekickz | very frustrating | 06:54 |
losher | karatekickz: so when you run 'ps ax' is there a vncserver running? | 06:55 |
ramas | anyway, thx Ill be back probably if the other cd's dont work, she has xp in another partition Ill try to see if she can burn from there... | 06:55 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, no luck still the black empty screen (but there's sound ;) | 06:55 |
jerroome` | JimBiggs, could be, but I didn't heard anything about it | 06:55 |
unitheory | voss, some faulty drive can still boot livecds | 06:55 |
karatekickz | im vnced in right now | 06:55 |
karatekickz | using it | 06:55 |
Warrigal_ | How do I configure the compose key such that composing _a or _o results in the character I want? | 06:55 |
karatekickz | so yes a vnc server is running | 06:55 |
jerroome` | pastebin return of lspci | 06:55 |
Arkhalis | karatekickz: I hate problems like that... then when you figure it out you go well that was easy! (only with more vulgar language) | 06:55 |
jerroome` | lsmod | 06:55 |
karatekickz | lol thats how this one is | 06:55 |
jerroome` | and also your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 06:55 |
losher | karatekickz: but you didn't start the vncserver explicitly? | 06:55 |
ramas | yep I just installed jaunty from cd a week ago | 06:55 |
voss | uni, but a drive that cannot read a live is a definite hardware failure | 06:55 |
karatekickz | myth gave me the option to install it | 06:56 |
JayX | loof how do i make a bash comand to create a Ad-hoc network? | 06:56 |
karatekickz | so I assume its set to load on boot | 06:56 |
ramas | as I tell u guys the oinly issue on thw whole hw in the laptop is with these blank cd's | 06:56 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, how could i pastebin anything? it's on my laptop and i only have access to the term :( | 06:56 |
JimBiggs | well, the console | 06:56 |
ramas | the system treats them as if no medium was in the drive | 06:56 |
loof | jayx: http://www.prash-babu.com/2008/08/how-to-createjoin-adhoc-network-in.html | 06:56 |
bazhang | JimBiggs, pastebinit | 06:56 |
voss | ramas, the whole might be those crappy office depot cds in which case youre golden :) | 06:56 |
jerroome` | give me a sec, I don't have an issue directly | 06:56 |
losher | karatekickz: back to what mutew said then. Grep for vnc in /etc/init.d/* | 06:56 |
Arkhalis | ramas: sorry if my question is redundant and already been answered... but try updating the firmware on your cd drive | 06:56 |
bazhang | JimBiggs, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 06:56 |
bullgard4 | [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Uuntu 9.04 the arrow keys and the 'Alt Gr' key function wrongly. They do work correctly in the virtual consoles. How to fix this? | 06:56 |
jerroome` | use w3m or lynx as browser | 06:57 |
JimBiggs | bazhang, that's clever ;) | 06:57 |
bazhang | cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (for example) | 06:57 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, ok, will do ;) | 06:57 |
JimBiggs | bazhang, very clever ;) | 06:57 |
losher | karatekickz: mutew: sorry I'm behind you guys | 06:57 |
JimBiggs | i'll do that | 06:57 |
ramas | ok that sounds good will see the manufacturer and see if theres a fw upgrade if the other cds dont work tomorrow | 06:57 |
karatekickz | its not in xconf | 06:57 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, so lsmod, lspci and xorg.conf right? | 06:57 |
Arkhalis | ramas: only problem with firmware is | 06:57 |
ramas | she says theyŕe sony, but I doubt it as she says they dont have any labels or anything | 06:58 |
jerroome` | yes | 06:58 |
losher | karatekickz: if it's forked from mythbackend, you'll never find it... | 06:58 |
ramas | if u screw u blow the hw? | 06:58 |
Arkhalis | ramas: a lot of the time there are only windows installers for updating firmware so you may run into problems there | 06:58 |
karatekickz | k im in that directory | 06:58 |
karatekickz | so just grep "vncserver"? | 06:58 |
karatekickz | cause it appears hung | 06:59 |
losher | karatekickz: 'grep vnc /etc/init.d/*' | 06:59 |
unitheory | grep grep grep | 06:59 |
karatekickz | from /~ ? | 06:59 |
mutew | karatekickz, cd /etc | 06:59 |
mutew | karatekickz, grep "vncserver" . -r | 06:59 |
usingartistxlive | How do I enable root in the installed ubuntu by using a live-cd? | 07:00 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, lsmod: http://pastebin.com/f7f303fd, lspci http://pastebin.com/f20a8d21b, xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f2e99e69 | 07:00 |
ramas | she has xp install in another partition I left it there... just in case... like these cases | 07:00 |
magnetron | !root | usingartistxlive | 07:00 |
ubottu | usingartistxlive: 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 | 07:00 |
losher | karatekickz: I'd prefer he do: sudo grep vnc /etc/init.d/* | 07:00 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, and dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f7489a0df | 07:01 |
Arkhalis | ramas: good choice lol and good luck, hope it helps | 07:01 |
jeeves | how can I connect to a windows 2003 server through a VPN? | 07:01 |
karatekickz | dude it does nothing no output | 07:01 |

karatekickz | GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR | 07:01 |
Arkhalis | mellow~ | 07:01 |
Tohuw | Can't get X to start using vesa, ai or fglrx. In syslog, I'm seeing two things of interest: "gdm_config_value_get_bool: assertion 'value->type == GDM_CONFIG_VALUE_BOOL' failed" and "failed to start x sefveral times in a short time period; disabling dispaly :0" | 07:01 |
losher | usingartistxlive: it's tricky. if I recall, you need to a) fsck then mount the root directory | 07:01 |
magnetron | !enter | karatekickz | 07:01 |
ubottu | karatekickz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:01 |
Arkhalis | anger solves no computer problem... only cause them lol | 07:01 |
ramas | thx you'll see me here tomorrow with more q's and info if they dont work, this is a weird one, dont think its a hw prob as the laptop is just new, anyway, gotta run thx | 07:02 |
Arkhalis | ramas: night | 07:02 |
losher | usingartistxlive: did you wanna do this or not? | 07:03 |
* losher thinks to himself, it's like pulling teeth tonight... | 07:03 |
loof | Tohuw, : what video card are you using? did you make any driver changes? i'm assuming x started before you did something to break it? | 07:03 |
* Arkhalis agrees with losher | 07:03 |
kandinski | does ubuntu have a good self-hosted web analytics package? | 07:04 |
jerroome` | ok, give me a minute | 07:04 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, take you time, i'm stuck here anyway :p | 07:04 |
gggg | is it possible to share files with samba from ubuntu to windows xp?if possible how? | 07:04 |
usingartistxlive | losher, yes, I need to enable root on the installed os with the hosed xserver/xorg, while using a live-cd, so I can reboot and get past the "recovery mode's" maintenence password | 07:04 |
karatekickz | groan thanks for the help im giving up for the night | 07:04 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok, so the easiest way I can think to do that is to generate a root password on the live system & copy it to the hosed server, ok? | 07:05 |
usingartistxlive | I have a fresh terminal open and ready | 07:05 |
loof | kandinski, : good compared to what? | 07:05 |
djolefol | Is iCon 401 3G USB modem working with Jaunty? Do I still have to disable ZeroCD first? | 07:05 |
gggg | how to use samba to share files to windows xp? | 07:06 |
losher | usingartistxlive: tell me the name of the root partition of the server | 07:06 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, is it possible easily to revert to the "standard" video drivers instead of the xorg-edgers to make sure they're not the issue? | 07:06 |
kandinski | loof: google analytics quality | 07:06 |
usingartistxlive | using nautilus, it shows up as "disk" | 07:06 |
kandinski | loof: not only good statistics-wise, but also full of eye candy | 07:06 |
Tohuw | loof: Rage ATI XL, but I also tried the builtin (also ATI) card. It worked before I upgraded to jaunty. | 07:06 |
jerroome` | for the moment you are using standard video mode | 07:07 |
jerroome` | how is your X launched | 07:07 |
zetheroo | I am trying to use the Istanbul Screen Recorder but it seems to freeze after I initiate the recording session | 07:07 |

linuxguy2009 | Hey guys I just noticed that a few apps a installed in Wine have been removed from the wine menu, but I just noticed that they have for some reason been moved to the Other menu.How do I get rid of them? I have tried gconf-editor. | 07:11 |
Tohuw | Warrigal_: #xorg | 07:11 |
losher | usingartistxlive: good. Now cd /media/disk/etc | 07:11 |
Warrigal_ | Tohuw: gracias. | 07:11 |
Tohuw | linuxguy2009: alacarte | 07:11 |
linuxguy2009 | Sorry I meant the menu editor. | 07:11 |
linuxguy2009 | alacarte | 07:11 |
Amaranth | don't do that | 07:11 |
Tophu | is there a way to burn an backup of my 9.04 install once I get it set up the way I like it (compiz, stylus, awn ...) to a dvd or something so that I can reainstall and have everything already set up? | 07:12 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, so what do you reckon, am i out of solutions (appart from reinstalling?) | 07:12 |
gggg | ubottu, thanks | 07:12 |
ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 07:12 |
Amaranth | Do not use the "Delete" feature in alacarte | 07:12 |
JimBiggs | that would be a pain :( | 07:12 |
gggg | loof, thanks | 07:12 |
loof | kandinsky: http://www.google.com/urchin/index.html | 07:12 |
Amaranth | It shouldn't even be there | 07:12 |
Tohuw | linuxguy2009: ah. so they don't show up in alacarte? | 07:12 |
loof | gggg: np | 07:12 |
dsdeiz_ | thanks ubottu! | 07:12 |
linuxguy2009 | Yes they show but they wont delete. | 07:12 |
usingartistxlive | losher, okay, I'm there | 07:12 |
dsdeiz_ | thanks ubottu ! | 07:12 |
jerroome` | I wouldn't reinstall, but I don't have an immediate issue | 07:12 |
dsdeiz_ | oh | 07:13 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, :( | 07:13 |
wicking | hello. i’ve added a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi to my HAL config. how can i tell HAL to immediately use these new settings without a restart of the computer? | 07:13 |
jerroome` | try to repair broken packages | 07:13 |
Tohuw | loof: any ideas on why when I use the fglrx driver I get "no screens found" even though I'm using a standard and simple xorg.conf? | 07:13 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, so you confirm there's nothing i could do to "revert to standard video drivers" as i should already be using them, right? | 07:13 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, how to repair broken packages? | 07:13 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok, now lets generate a root password. Type: sudo passwd root . It will prompt you to enter & repeat a root password | 07:13 |
jerroome` | you can either reboot and launch in rescue mode, or launch telinit S and choose repair broken packages | 07:13 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, ok | 07:14 |
ganymede_ | Tophu: you can tar and gzip your entire home directory, or maybe just the dot-folders | 07:14 |
loof | hmmm, what drivers are you using? | 07:14 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, is that normal that i can't use the arrows to change the menu in telinit S? | 07:14 |
loof | Tohuw, : what ati drivers, i mean | 07:14 |
jerroome` | if you boot in recue mode, you first have to drop to a root shell in order to set your network connection and after that laucnh repair broken packages | 07:14 |
linuxguy2009 | I was messing with Lego Digital Designer and a few NVIDIA demos.hehe Darn shortcuts are in Other and just wont delete. | 07:14 |
jerroome` | I can, I don't know why you can't | 07:15 |
usingartistxlive | losher , passwd: password updated successfully | 07:15 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, i'm having a very bad feeling :( | 07:15 |
Tophu | @gany: so no way to burn an install disk :-( | 07:15 |
unitheory | linuxguy2009, can't you use gnome's menu editor? | 07:15 |
Tohuw | loof: What do you mean? I'm using fglrx as the driver. fglrx is installed properly; it was working before upgrade | 07:15 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok. now look at the file /etc/shadow: the first line should say root: followed by a bunch of weird characters | 07:16 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, when i type any key it writes over the menus, and the arrows arent reponsive | 07:16 |
linuxguy2009 | Yes I have used alacarte many times its great.It just wont do it for some odd reason. | 07:16 |
jerroome` | after you have launched the xorg reconfigure command, you aren't using any third party drivers for graphics anymore | 07:16 |
Amaranth | linuxguy2009: Don't use the "Delete" option in alacarte | 07:16 |
unitheory | linuxguy2009, uncheck the boxes next to the entries you don't want to show ? | 07:16 |
Amaranth | linuxguy2009: It causes problems later | 07:16 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, oh ok ;) | 07:17 |
losher | usingartistxlive: you may need to say 'sudo cat /etc/shadow' to read it... | 07:17 |
jerroome` | than just reboot | 07:17 |
zetheroo | please help, Istanbul Screen Recorder is not working for me ... I have a terminal output if anyone is interested ... | 07:17 |
jerroome` | and go to rescue mode | 07:17 |
Tohuw | loof, do you need to see my xorg.conf, and if so is there a quick way to put it on pastebin when all I have is root prompt with networking? | 07:17 |
bullgard4 | [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Uuntu 9.04 the arrow keys and the 'Alt Gr' key function wrongly. They do work correctly in the virtual consoles. How to fix this? | 07:17 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, ok, i'll try that :/ | 07:17 |
sparr | are there any good Free alternatives to GPSDrive or TangoGPS? | 07:17 |
xooo | can anyone think of a temporary fix for this pidgin-yahoo network problem? | 07:17 |
linuxguy2009 | unitheory: thats a good temp fix. So I did it. Im thinking its reading them from a folder somewhere. | 07:18 |
Amaranth | linuxguy2009: ~/.local/share/applications/wine/ | 07:18 |
Tophu | @xooo: I thought they came out with an update that fixed that | 07:18 |
usingartistxlive | losher, I just opened it from nautilus, and it shows root:x: then some numbers and ":"s | 07:18 |
xooo | Tophu: tell me how to do it because mine isn't fixed | 07:18 |
unitheory | xooo, you can change the server pidgin connects to if you don't want to update pidgin | 07:19 |
xooo | id like to update pidgin | 07:19 |
loof | tohuw: i didn't think that the ati rage xl was supported by fglrx??? are you SURE it is?? | 07:19 |
Stanley_ | I just installed ubuntu 9.04, is root disabled by default? how do i enable it? I'm trying to do things and it won't let me | 07:19 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok, that bunch of numers & stuff between the colons is the password you just generated. We need to copy it to the server | 07:19 |
Aacron | if anyone was in here earlier when I was having the grub issues, I fixed em!! (YAY for me!). As I thought, what grub sees when it is installed from inside linux is different from what it sees when it it loaded from MBR right after POST. | 07:19 |
linuxguy2009 | Amaranth: Big thumbs up, you da man/woman! | 07:19 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, i just tried booting with the previous kernel, and it didn't work better, so that could mean it's really video related, right? | 07:19 |
Amaranth | !root | Stanley_ | 07:19 |
ubottu | Stanley_: 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 | 07:19 |
Tophu | @stanley: all commands cane be executte as root by useing sudo <command> | 07:19 |
Tohuw | loof: no, actually. I'm not certain. this computer has two cards, a built in ati and the pci rage. one moment, let me try something | 07:20 |
Aacron | Stanley_: sudo | 07:20 |
Tophu | sudo so drops you into root | 07:20 |
Tophu | sudo su* | 07:20 |
linuxguy2009 | Ill have to remeber that one next time. | 07:20 |
Stanley_ | so it's sudo in unbuntu instead of su | 07:20 |
Stanley_ | ? | 07:20 |
Tophu | http://www.pidgin.im/ | 07:20 |
Aacron | yeah, SuperUserDO | 07:20 |
Tophu | on that front page it says yahoo problems are fixed | 07:20 |
Aacron | least hwo I remember it :P | 07:20 |
usingartistxlive | losher, okay, it is as you say from "sudo cat...." | 07:20 |
wicking | again: i’ve added a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi to my HAL config. how can i tell HAL to immediately use these new settings without a restart of the computer? | 07:21 |
jerroome` | yes it is | 07:21 |
linuxguy2009 | Man i love this wallpaper-tray app from the repos.Its cool. | 07:21 |
Stanley_ | I'm new to linux and all I've used so far is CentOS on my servers, I tried to use Fedora but it seems a little clunky | 07:21 |
Aacron | well now that my GRUB issues are solved, i now need help getting my not-so-supported SiiG sil0680 Medley card to play nice in Ubuntu | 07:21 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok, we need to copy the password to the server file /media/disk/etc/passwd. Do you have a favorite text editor? | 07:21 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, i rebooted in rescue mode, selected the xfix menu entry, but still no luck :/ | 07:21 |
Stanley_ | So I'll have to get used to doing things "differently" in ubuntu | 07:21 |
Tophu | @linuxguy2009: is that the one that auto rotates wallpapers? | 07:22 |
linuxguy2009 | Stanley deb distros like Ubuntu and Debian are great to start with.Good luck to you! | 07:22 |
Aacron | from what I have read, I need to use dmraid | 07:22 |
jerroome` | then I'm out of ideas | 07:22 |
loof | tohuw: with that card i think you should be using mesa | 07:22 |
xooo | where do i manage how ubuntu does updates? mines not doing it automatically. i tried update manager and its not in there. | 07:22 |
usingartistxlive | losher, I have gedit open | 07:22 |
jerroome` | maybe you should go to a xorg chat | 07:22 |
Aacron | thing is last time I tried to use it, it gave me some funky erorr about dos: something size exceeded partition | 07:22 |
linuxguy2009 | Tophu yeah its cool I love it. I accidentally left the timer at 0 and set it to rotate and it was swapping papers like crazy till i reset it in gconf.hehe | 07:22 |
jerroome` | those people might be able to help you better | 07:22 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, i switch to #xorg, let's hope there's some people as helping as you ;) | 07:22 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok, open /media/disk/etc/shadow in the editor | 07:23 |
JimBiggs | thanks a lot ! | 07:23 |
unitheory | xooo, system > administration > software sources | 07:23 |
jerroome` | you welcome | 07:23 |
jerroome` | sorry I couldn't fix your problem | 07:23 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, at least it ruled out the obvious i believe :D | 07:23 |
JimBiggs | well, it's not your fault is it? at least you tried! | 07:23 |
jerroome` | good luck | 07:24 |
losher | usingartistxlive: you might encounter permission problems. You may need to run sudo gedit /media/disk/etc/shadow to get it to work | 07:24 |
Aacron | anyone use pidgin in here? I'd like to turn off the enter/leave messages but I dunno how to? Course I could just install and use a real IRC client... :| | 07:24 |
linuxguy2009 | I learned a cool tweak the otehr day for the gnome panels, you can go to gconf and apps/panel/toplevel and set them to 0 delay for show and hide, and also 0 for how much of the panel shows when hiding and disable the animation.There totally hidden until you need em and there fast.Love it! | 07:24 |
Aacron | yeah think I'll do that be back in a minute | 07:25 |
usingartistxlive | losher, I closed it and reopened it with sudo | 07:25 |
JimBiggs | jerroome`, thanks ;) | 07:25 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok, open a second terminal and do the same with /etc/shadow i.e. sudo gedit /etc/shadow | 07:25 |
Arkhalis | I'm sleepy | 07:26 |
coz_ | guys where is the menu editor in kde4? | 07:27 |
losher | Arkhalis: I'm pouring myself a brandy | 07:27 |
usingartistxlive | losher , would a copy/paste from the first terminal to the opened gedit work? | 07:27 |

loof | Tohuw, : i mean, you're trying to run opengl on an 8mb video card, right? or just trying to run X? | 07:28 |
losher | usingartistxlive: yes, and that's exactly what we need to do. We want to cut&paste the root password i.e. everything between the first two colons from /etc/shadow to /media/disk/etc/shadow | 07:28 |
linuxguy2009 | Man I swear if I would have known how cool linux was back in the day I would have switched in a minute.I dont think I could live without it now. | 07:28 |
losher | usingartistxlive: we on;y need to change the first line. I hope it's clear what I mean... | 07:29 |
usingartistxlive | losher, does it matter that the rest of the numbers in the terminal are different from the numbers in gedit? That is, not counting "root". | 07:29 |
Arkhalis | linuxguy2009: I love linux except for gaming, I play too new of games for wine to handle so I spend most of my time on windows... everything else is linux | 07:29 |
losher | linuxguy2009: linux wasn't as cool as it is now, 'back in the day'.... | 07:29 |
unitheory | losher, yes it was :P | 07:30 |
linuxguy2009 | hehe true I bought a box of Mandrake 8.0 back when i was younger and had no clue how to do anything on it but install it. Its changed a lot. | 07:30 |
losher | usingartistxlive: the rest of the numbers are ok to leave as is, we only want to cut & paste the actual password | 07:30 |
unitheory | i guess it depends on how you define "cool" and "back in the day" | 07:30 |
usingartistxlive | losher, okay, root line only, copied and pasted. | 07:30 |
losher | usingartistxlive: ok, close both editors, we're done | 07:30 |
usingartistxlive | losher, "save" first, I suppose | 07:31 |
mbostwick | Ok I am going crazy...http://pastebin.com/m58352ba0...I can't get glx to work on xorg :( | 07:31 |

losher | usingartistxlive: ok, I'll hang around for 5 minutes to be sure you can at least get past the boot... | 07:33 |
usingartistxlive | okay | 07:33 |
Arkhalis | zortec: have you tried this? | 07:33 |
Arkhalis | !alsa | zortec | 07:33 |
ubottu | zortec: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:33 |
Tohuw | loof: yeah, forgot that rage xl is only an 8mb, and that fglrx would not work with it. switched back to the other one. I updated fglrx to the latest version, and now I get a "no screens found" (this card is an radeon xpress 200g series). | 07:33 |
zortec | I'm using the HDA Nvidia alsa device | 07:34 |

Tohuw | loof: I also see: This ATI proprietary linux driver does not guarantee support of video driver ABI higher than 2.0 video driver ABI version of the X server is 5.0 | 07:35 |
loof | Tohuw, : yeah, i was like "uhhhhh, fglrx on an 8mb card??? i'm amazed you were trying to run X!" lol =S | 07:35 |
Arkhalis | zortec: right, but have you set them all to also mixer to see if you get sound | 07:35 |
zortec | Ok, got the sound working but it's very low | 07:35 |
Stanley_ | I have a Nvidia GTX-260 and an Nvidia 9500GT that i use to power 4 monitors, What Drivers should I install? | 07:36 |
zortec | Arkhalis: I had to turn up the PCM control | 07:36 |
losher | mbostwick: my first guess is that the module was built for a different version of xserver than the one running... | 07:36 |
loof | Tohuw, : you should try using MESA if you want opengl on the card | 07:36 |
zortec | Arkhalis: Where would I set them all? I only see one drop down for mixer | 07:36 |
Kasm279 | i cant get ubuntu 9.04 to work with my laptop's touchpad, and its an issue in kernel 2.6 as it works with 8.10 and DSL | 07:36 |
Arkhalis | zortec: good, my sound is rediculously quiet as well... haven't worked that one out yet | 07:36 |
loof | stanley: the closed source nvidia drivers. 180.60 is the newest as i recall | 07:36 |
Arkhalis | zortec: ah, that was me being dumb ignore the "all" | 07:37 |
zortec | Arkhalis: I'm going to search around and see why sound on linux is extremely quiet | 07:37 |
Aacron | quick question: I'm not sure I like xchat-gnome too terribly much... options I'd like (like auto-identify) are not here... any recommendations? | 07:37 |
Stanley_ | loof: So I should use Nvidia's drivers? | 07:37 |
Arkhalis | zortec: there may be a fix in that alsa reference i just showed you | 07:37 |
unitheory | Aacron, xchat can auto-identify | 07:37 |
Arkhalis | zortec: if you find a solution msg me a website (i've just been too busy to figure it out) | 07:38 |
Arkhalis | please ^^ | 07:38 |
zortec | Arkhalis: No problem :) | 07:38 |
Kasm279 | any ideas? | 07:38 |
Aacron | I'm using xchat-gnome (said it was supported by Ubuntu, the normal xchat wasn't?) | 07:38 |
Aacron | unitheory: so should I de-install this one and use the other xchat? | 07:39 |

Aacron | dont see the self-identify option anywhere (nor a way to turn off these pesky scrolling enter/leave messages) | 07:40 |
Aacron | kk, guess the other is safe? | 07:40 |
Aacron | Was kinda leery of stuff that doesn't say 'supported by ubuntu' on it :P | 07:40 |
loof | the newest off the nvidia site | 07:40 |

k2000 | linux even detects a ntfs filesystem on the first hard drive | 07:50 |
k2000 | but the second hard drive's filesystem is listed as unknown | 07:50 |
unitheory | nellmathew, afaik each application controls the appearance/presence of its tray icon | 07:51 |
nellmathew | ah thanks unitheory | 07:51 |
k2000 | I dont mind tryint the ntfsfix in linux | 07:51 |
Arkhalis | zortec: you there? | 07:51 |
loof | Stanley_, : backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file before you go ahead with the install, tho, just in case you have problems you can put it back in place and use your old x config file that way | 07:51 |
k2000 | I was successfull with most of the time I used it on non-raid drives | 07:51 |

losher | k2000: by all means try it, but if you read the man page, you'll see if recommends booting into windows... | 07:52 |
unitheory | nellmathew, if you can set the app to disable its tray icon there are application out there that let you make tray icons for any program and you can configure them if i recall correctly | 07:52 |
|Ryan | Hey, I'm about to burn BackTrack 4 preRelease to a Dvd. Do I just burn the iso straight to the DVD and it works? or is there specific things I need to do? | 07:52 |
unitheory | and i continue missing the s key | 07:53 |
k2000 | I tried everything I know in windows :( | 07:53 |
k2000 | I'll try again then | 07:53 |
zortec | Arkhalis: I'm still here, what did it for me was to turn up the Surround slider in the volume control | 07:53 |
k2000 | just in case I missed something | 07:53 |
Apollo2366 | Might be a noob question, but where do I change the default applications for different filetypes? | 07:54 |
losher | |Ryan: if it's an iso, be sure to burn it in 'image mode' is the only gotcha... | 07:54 |
nellmathew | unitheory, thanks, sounds good enough. i'll look into that then.. | 07:54 |
Stanley_ | The installation requirements say: XFree86/X.Org 4.0.1/6.7 and to check type: XFree86 -version/Xorg -version | 07:54 |
unitheory | Apollo2366, right-click on the file you want to change then it's under the "open with" tab | 07:54 |
Aacron | hey k2000, I just had a huge thing I had to deal with for grub | 07:55 |
Aacron | and I had similar issues | 07:55 |
Stanley_ | it said ntohing was found so i did a sudo aptitude install Xfree86 | 07:55 |
Aacron | I resolved it... maybe you're having a similar issue? | 07:55 |
Stanley_ | And it's still not giving me a version | 07:55 |
|Ryan | losher: Any recommended software for doing this? | 07:55 |
losher | |Ryan: what os version are you running? | 07:56 |
Apollo2366 | unitheory, it works once, but the default application for that filetype remains the same | 07:56 |
Arkhalis | zortec: using the sudo alsamixer command? I just fixed mine by turing up the line out as well (apparently it affects the sound some) | 07:56 |
|Ryan | Ubuntu 9.04 | 07:56 |
zortec | Arkhalis: Let me give that a try. :) | 07:56 |
zetheroo | seems like none of the screen recording apps really work ... they all have glitches ... what a pain! | 07:56 |
unitheory | Apollo2366, sorry, right click the file then click properties then open with. | 07:57 |
Arkhalis | zortec: other than that I've got nothing google doesn't so good luck... going on a smoke break. if you need me msg me and i'll get back to you in a few | 07:57 |
Apollo2366 | Oh ok thanks, unitheory | 07:58 |
losher | |Ryan: dunno, I use the command line myself. growisofs -speed=4 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrom=file.iso | 07:58 |
|Ryan | losher: And that will burn it to my DVD? 'file.iso' being BackTrack4, in this case? | 07:59 |
losher | |Ryan: yep, that's the theory.... | 07:59 |
=== kipas_angin is now known as myphnix |
loof | Stanley_, : did it error out saying that it required xfree86/xorg in those versions? or just tell you? if you've got a recent install of ubuntu (say, 9.04) you're fine | 08:00 |
Arkhalis | zortec: back now lol, that do anything for you? | 08:00 |

SyphonSilent | I dont understand | 08:02 |
zortec | Arkhalis: That was a fast smoke break. | 08:02 |
loof | Stanley_, : init 3 as root will drop you out of X; obviously if you're in X talking to us here on irc on that machine you're wanting to upgrade the drivers on, then that will kill your X session and all your apps you have open in X | 08:04 |

DeCypher1 | How do i go about opening a .desktop file? | 08:06 |
losher | Stanley_: there is no root password. But there is a root... | 08:06 |
loof | you could try "sudo init 3" | 08:06 |
alkamid | I have a question concerning 8.10-9.04 upgrade | 08:06 |
psychosmose | Bonne nuit ;-) ! | 08:06 |
alkamid | I have a minimal install of Intrepid | 08:06 |
zortec | Arkhalis: Ah :) | 08:06 |
DeCypher1 | !gdm | 08:06 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm | 08:06 |
alkamid | if I upgrade, will it stay "minimal" ? | 08:07 |
Stanley_ | losher: how do i get in root then? | 08:07 |
Stanley_ | loof: sudo init 3 does nothign | 08:07 |
zortec | Arkhalis: You have any news on the 9.10 release? | 08:07 |
loof | Stanley_, : there is a root account, it's just disabled by default. i'd recommend re-enabling it. if you need to recover your system ever in the future you'll need to know your root password | 08:07 |
alkamid | I mean I'm no tsure if it's not going to instlal any addidtional stuff that I simply don't need | 08:07 |
DeCypher1 | How do i go about opening a .desktop file? | 08:08 |
Stanley_ | So i'm logged in as root now in terminal and when i type 'init 3' nothing happens | 08:08 |
alkamid | anyone? | 08:09 |
Stanley_ | DeCyper1: I believe a .desktop is just a shortcut | 08:09 |
loof | Stanley_, : system->administration->users and groups. you can re-enable root there and assign the root account a password. be aware, you don't want to be running stuff normally as root, it's mostly only for major system upgrades/changes/major software package updates (wine needs to be installed as root, as an example) | 08:10 |
Stanley_ | loof: yea I have it unlocked and a password set now, so i go into terminal type 'su' enter my password and i'm in root, now i type 'init 3' and _nothing_ happens | 08:11 |
Arkhalis | zortec: I don't sorry, again with the been too busy (two jobs and school) | 08:11 |

thomthom | How do add a kernel enty to grub | 08:15 |
vigo | To clear out all the kernels at boot is a grub thing or CLI thing, there are for or five kernels to choose from now and I think I want to clean that up a bit? | 08:15 |
sleepy_cat | ok the question sounds weird .. but i am calling a function repeatedly.. i want an english term which signifies "calling the function again and again" | 08:16 |
loof | Stanley_, : it'll kill any graphical ui you have running though | 08:16 |
Stanley_ | loof: still nothing | 08:16 |
jerroome | thomthom you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 08:16 |
loof | and you're in as root? | 08:16 |
Stanley_ | yea | 08:16 |
osxfr33k | Is there a command in the terminal to log all messages that are printed during rpmbuild -bb of the kernel.spec file? Including all warnings etc? | 08:16 |
osxfr33k | echo? | 08:16 |
Stanley_ | root@my-computer:/# | 08:16 |
thomthom | I know that, I need to find the correct information about the kernel | 08:16 |
zortec | osxfr33k: For that I'd set up a cron job | 08:17 |
mafsi_ | loof: or you can install Startup-Manager :) | 08:17 |
loof | hmnn | 08:17 |
zortec | loof: I second Startup-Manager | 08:17 |
=== mafsi_ is now known as mafsi |
osxfr33k | zortec, never used a cron before | 08:17 |
jerroome | sleepy_cat if the funtion calls itself, it's recursivly, otherwise, I don't know how to call it ... :) | 08:17 |
osxfr33k | so echo will not do the job? | 08:17 |
sleepy_cat | no not like that | 08:18 |
sleepy_cat | i am calling that function at time 0 then again at time 2 and again at time 5 | 08:18 |
jerroome | thomthom which correct information ? there can be a lot | 08:18 |
Stanley_ | loof: let me reboot first and i'll be back and try those commands again | 08:18 |
sleepy_cat | so .. i am calling it.. its not recursive | 08:18 |
loof | Stanley_, : or you could use startup-manager (i've never used it). i'm pretty sure there's also a keypress (escape maybe?) during boot to give you a list of boot options, of which a console with & without networking is an option | 08:18 |
sleepy_cat | how to phrase it in english | 08:18 |
unitheory | sleepy_cat, recurring? | 08:18 |
sleepy_cat | recurring | 08:19 |
sleepy_cat | hmm.. not sure | 08:19 |
jerroome | periodic ? | 08:19 |
thomthom | when I installed the new kernel through synaptics I was doing something else while and when it asks you what to do with menu.lst I wasn't paying attention and kept the installed version | 08:19 |
sleepy_cat | no not periodic | 08:19 |
sleepy_cat | i think repeatedly .. sounds more appropriate | 08:20 |
bigchris | can anyone tell me what is the best app for desklets/widgets? | 08:20 |
sleepy_cat | recurring is also proper | 08:20 |
thomthom | I didn't do the thre way merge like I usually do | 08:20 |
zortec | loof, Stanley_: You can just use escape during the boot up. | 08:20 |
sleepy_cat | what looks better repeatedly or recurringly.. | 08:20 |
zortec | Oh, for my problem earlier I removed network manager and installed wicd if anyone wants to know | 08:20 |
sleepy_cat | the sentence is ".. when the function is called ........." | 08:21 |
unitheory | thomthom, you could also probably reinstall the latest kernel, right? | 08:21 |
Stanley_ | loof: init 3 and telinit 3 are both still not working | 08:21 |
vigo | osxfr33k: Logs? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-gnome-system-log-viewer/ | 08:21 |
jerroome | thomthom, so you just have to look inside /boot to see the version of your new kernel and then add a line with the correct kernel name inside menu.lst | 08:21 |

thomthom | unitheroy: I tried that | 08:21 |
zortec | alkamid: It depends what packages you pull in. | 08:22 |
loof | Stanley_, : or you could use startup-manager (i've never used it). i'm pretty sure there's also a keypress (escape maybe?) during boot to give you a list of boot options, of which a console with & without networking is an option | 08:22 |
alkamid | zortec: what does it mean? | 08:22 |
zortec | alkamid: What does 'minimal' mean, is that what you want to know? | 08:22 |
vigo | alkamid: Make a good backup now, you cannot go wrong with that. | 08:22 |
loof | Stanley: do zortec confirmed, you can hit esc during bootup to get the boot options screen, from there boot to console with networking, and install the driver there as root | 08:23 |

thomthom | jerroome: http://pastebin.ca/1470820 | 08:27 |
unitheory | osxfr33k, or rather just > file.txt | 08:28 |
osxfr33k | ya I think that works for most of the messages but the warning and some minor things don't get printed into the file that way | 08:28 |
vigo | osxfr33k: Erm, I use to know that script, is like /mv or something, but with a lot more calls. Yeah, unitheory is on the right track. | 08:28 |
osxfr33k | So > rather than >> | 08:28 |
unitheory | osxfr33k, for instance if you "ls > list.txt" you get a file with the output of ls | 08:28 |

rabelais | ziroday: apologies, I figured he was asking for the user-specific program files | 08:56 |

zortec | Stanley_: You need to turn on compiz. | 09:26 |

pc | salut | 10:35 |
zortec | Did Stanley ever come back? | 10:37 |

vigo | zortec: Not yet | 10:37 |
halldor89 | hi, I'm running hardy heron and I need newer version of pygobject than is in the repository, what options do I have (other than upgrade my ubuntu installation)? | 10:37 |
Stanley_ | So I went back to the 173 restricted driver and my video card wasn't supported so X wouldnt' start. so while I had no X i installed the 185 drivers which wouldnt' work either so I loaded into "low graphics mode" and re-enabled the 180 drier sfrom the restricted menu and i'm back and running again | 10:38 |
zortec | halldor89: You would have to search the net for the latest package | 10:38 |
iceroot | halldor89: backports or installing a new version by hand | 10:38 |
zortec | halldor89: You could try enabling more repositories if you haven't done so | 10:38 |
iceroot | !backport | halldor89 | 10:38 |
ubottu | halldor89: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 10:38 |
halldor89 | iceroot: thanks a lot, that's probably what I'm looking for | 10:39 |
Stanley_ | zortec: thanks :) see above! | 10:39 |
ashlessburn | well thats easy | 10:40 |
zortec | Stanley_: I'm not sure what you want me to see above | 10:40 |
Stanley_ | So I went back to the 173 restricted driver and my video card wasn't supported so X wouldnt' start. so while I had no X i installed the 185 drivers which wouldnt' work either so I loaded into "low graphics mode" and re-enabled the 180 drier sfrom the restricted menu and i'm back and running ag | 10:40 |
iceroot | halldor89: also have a look at apt-pinning because if you enable backports ALL packages are upgraded | 10:40 |
ashlessburn | e-frame, thats easy unetbootin | 10:40 |
iceroot | !apt-pinning | halldor89 | 10:41 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-pinning | 10:41 |
iceroot | hm | 10:41 |
markit | hi, I've a minimal installation of 8.04. dpkg-reconfiture locales does nothing, and directory /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ is empty. "locales" package is installed, what else do I miss? | 10:41 |
markit | I just want to change to it_IT-UTF8 | 10:41 |
Stanley_ | zortec: just to my explanation of what happened | 10:41 |
zortec | Stanley_: Ok I see it now, let me read | 10:41 |
halldor89 | iceroot: which problems can that cause (everything being upgraded)? | 10:41 |
zortec | Stanley_: Great, so you have compiz working with dual monitors? | 10:42 |
e-frame | ashlessburn: yea, i've tried unetbootin. thx | 10:42 |
Stanley_ | Well, no, I'm back to the 180 drivers I had originally | 10:42 |
Stanley_ | zortec: so nothings really changed | 10:42 |
iceroot | halldor89: for e.g. if firefox 3.1 is in backports you will get it if you have installed firefox 3.0 | 10:42 |
iceroot | halldor89: so apt-pinning can hold back the other packages | 10:43 |
halldor89 | iceroot: thx, I'll look into it | 10:43 |
Jimi_Neutral | i have a file that im trying to get off a hdd and i keep getting an I/O error so someone told me to try and snapshot the image and put it on another drive and then pull it off the new drive that works....he told me to install linux and do something with lvm but then after that i had to go home after work, i really need to get this file off this hdd, can anyone help? | 10:43 |
zortec | Stanley_: so you still have no compiz? | 10:43 |
iceroot | halldor89: also you can just upgrade one package, enable backports then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install pprogam-you-want-upgrade | 10:43 |
Stanley_ | zortec: correct, also still on the driver version that has the bug | 10:43 |

Stanley_ | zortex: Nvidia GTX-260 and Nvidia 9500GT | 10:44 |
zortec | Stanley_: It's a confirmed bug in ubuntu about the dual video cards with compiz, but did you try just one monitor to see if that works? | 10:45 |

=== chari2 is now known as charitwo |
Darael | Weed37_: usually the only reason it would fail to install the drivers is if Synaptic was open | 11:03 |
Weed37_ | nope that is closed | 11:03 |
Darael | Weed37_: so you can't activate the restricted drivers? how odd. | 11:04 |
Weed37_ | restricted drivers ? | 11:04 |
vigo | bob_rock: From the forums that card looks unsupported, maybe 'legacy' drivers work with it, but I do not know: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=480991 | 11:05 |
bob_rock | vigo: I'll read it. | 11:05 |
zortec | bob_rock: Didn't you say you were going to read the other article? | 11:06 |
Weed37_ | restricted drivers ? Darael | 11:06 |
bob_rock | wait i'll read them all | 11:06 |
zortec | Weed37_: Restricted drivers in synaptic | 11:07 |
Darael | Weed37_: the drivers for nivdia cards (well, most of them) that provide 3d acceleration and stuff like that are closed-source, so we call them "restricted" | 11:07 |
zortec | how do we get him the doc on restricted drivers? | 11:07 |
