| tiyowan | LinuX2half: If you really want to install that engine, you'd need to install GTK 2.18 first, and then compile Aurora from source and install it. Um, just pick another theme for now, and sooner or later the 2.18 version will get pushed to you in an update. :) | 00:00 |

| rgrasell1 | well i dont think i got the newest. I went through their whole 'select a card', so i must have a driver version compatible with my computer. Is there any way to get a newer xorg? | 00:01 |
| LinuX2half | tiyowan: they look about the same | 00:01 |
| bazhang | KungFux, #ubuntu-ru | 00:01 |

| rww | rgrasell1: which version of fglrx did you download? | 00:01 |
| LinuX2half | tiyowan: its just too much work and compiling sounds more difficult | 00:01 |

| tiyowan | LinuxX2half: Well, see...the widget toolkit (gtk) is reponsible for drawing all the controls on the screen, like buttons, checkboxes etc. If you want to see it looks like without any theme engine, click on Customize in Appearances and select Raleigh. That's the default toolkit without any engine. A theme engine basically extends the toolkit - so it gives theme designers more ways to have stuff drawn on the screen. And then the theme designers make their them | 00:02 |
| rww | rgrasell1: heck, it doesn't matter. If you're using Jaunty's version of Xorg, you *can't* use any version of fglrx, because it either won't support your version of Xorg or your graphics card. If you're using a version of Ubuntu earlier than Jaunty, you should have used the package manager version of fglrx. | 00:03 |
| rgrasell1 | lrww: 9.3 | 00:03 |
| Prankster163 | My mouse locked up again | 00:04 |
| rgrasell1 | rww: ok thanks. what a bummer :\ . will it work in debian? | 00:04 |
| tiyowan | LinuX2half: If you're a little new to Ubuntu, I'd recommend you pick another theme for now from a site like gnome-look.org and not worry about compiling stuff for the moment. | 00:04 |
| rww | rgrasell1: No idea. The people in #debian might know. | 00:04 |

| eternal_p | afternoon all..quick question, how can I change the default command line ftp client to NOT use FTP (without having to type passive) after login) | 00:05 |
| BBishop | any way that I could set my working session into a vnc session ? I mean, once I login. I want someone else to be able to vnc to me and see what I'm doing on my computer... | 00:05 |
| ruler | tiyowan:i have install it but dint know how to open it | 00:05 |
| tiyowan | Linux2half: Yep. :) A GTK2 theme is the major part of it. And then you can customize the theme you picked by also getting any metacity theme. Metacity is the "window manager" - it's reponsible for the way the windows are managed, as in, their borders, the look of their title bars. | 00:06 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: can you see any reason why this 'iconv -f ASCII -t UTF-8 -c' should return different values when running on a terminal or through cron? | 00:07 |
| tiyowan | ruler: just run it from the terminal | 00:07 |
| rww | eternal_p: you want it to always use passive FTP? "ftp -p" | 00:07 |
| Prankster163 | It seems when ever I'm multiple tasking on ubuntu, my mouse locks up causing me to restart | 00:07 |
| rww | eternal_p: or "pftp" | 00:07 |
| eternal_p | rww: it seems to always default to passive mode, I want to connect without passive mode | 00:07 |

| zimbres | hi, I am quite new to autotools... when writting a Makefile.am how should I refer to include files in the include directory, if the Makefile.am is in src? Is it enough "include_HEADERS = ../include/foo.h ../include/bar.h? How can I avoid typing ../include?" | 00:08 |
| nighto | I cloned the partitions with ddrescue, the other machine boots ok but eth0 won't come up. The machine's hardware is the same in all machines. | 00:08 |
| mdm | eternal_p, it defaults to passive becase it is requred for NAT transversal. If there is not NAT between the client and server it makes no differnce | 00:08 |
| nighto | Any tips? Thanks in advance | 00:08 |
| LinuX2half | tiyowan: thanks for the explanation | 00:08 |

| mdm | moonwatcher, what is in /etc/bash.bashrc and in /etc/profile.d. That is just the master script that sources those | 00:10 |
| nighto | nbkr, everything loads but mysql, which fails because I don't have an ethernet interface. When I try to /etc/init.d/networking restart, I got a few errors like eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device | 00:10 |

| imi | designer | 00:14 |
| nbkr | ruler, There is no way of having your Ubuntu to ask for a password when accessing a folder. It's the wrong approch. Linux has a very fine method of defining access rights for the different users of a system. | 00:15 |

| rodrigoguate | hola | 00:15 |
| nighto | nbkr, Yes, they are exactly the same, it's an onboard NIC with exactly the same motherboard. Even the revision of the model (it's 10x AsRock N61P-S Rev. G/A1.06). lspci shows it as 00:07.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2). | 00:15 |

| whatis_tux | nbkr, ok | 00:16 |
| khems | I am a developer | 00:16 |
| rodrigoguate | i need help. | 00:16 |
| nighto | nbkr, maybe if the script that fires up the networking has some bind with the MAC address of the first NIC, don't know. | 00:16 |
| khems | Trying to make sure german layout working | 00:16 |
| nbkr | nighto, Well you could change the MAC Adress of the interface on the second machine to see if its helping. | 00:17 |
| nighto | nbkr, how? i can't even see the NIC in ifconfig. when /etc/init.d/networking is loading, it fails. | 00:18 |
| khems | Can anyone help me with xmodmap and altgr issue | 00:18 |
| nbkr | nighto, Hm, ok - have to checked the output of "lsmod" maybe the driver doesn't get loaded. | 00:18 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, I cant see anything that should interfear with it, so I do not know unless I can see what that script does | 00:19 |
| nighto | nbkr, with lspci -vv | less it says: "Kernel driver in use: forcedeth/Kernel modules: forcedeth" | 00:20 |
| nighto | nbkr, lsmod | grep forcedeth says "forcedeth 61968 0" | 00:20 |

| moonwatcher | mdm: line 120 is where things mess up | 00:22 |
| nbkr | nighto, Maybe you could check with the ubuntu live cd if the card is really working or if it is broken. | 00:22 |
| khems | I need help on keyboard mapping please | 00:22 |
| nighto | nbkr, Well, thanks. I tried to modprobe -r forcedeth ; modprobe forcedeth and apparently it loaded up as eth1 | 00:22 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, I see all becase you want to dump mysql into csv format and not sql? | 00:22 |
| nighto | nbkr, Do you know where can I check the bindings of MAC Address -> ethN? | 00:23 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: no if i remove the "| iconv -f ASCII -t UTF-8 -c" its all ok | 00:23 |
| whatis_tux | nbkr, on the link you gave me they specify a file ".local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" in which they made the modifications for things to work out .. but I dont have this file ... | 00:23 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: weird thing is its workign when i run from a command line | 00:24 |
| nbkr | nighto, Thats probably in /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 00:24 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, yes but what this script is doing is taking mysql snapshots and converting them to csv. If your intent is to back up mysql simply use mysqldump and store them as sql files (preferably compresses) | 00:24 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: and i am not dumping mysql, i am dumping dbf and than popluating mysql | 00:24 |
| nbkr | whatis_tux, What version of ubuntu are you running? | 00:24 |
| whatis_tux | 9.04 | 00:24 |

| kebomix | hello , pdigin 2.5.7 doesn't appear in indicator-applet 0.1 and when i close messenger windows it exit , any solution ? | 00:25 |
| nbkr | whatis_tux, .local is a hidden folder. | 00:26 |
| whatis_tux | i know | 00:26 |

| ericdb | Why is my dist-upgrade going so slow? | 00:28 |
| pw-toxic | wireshark tells me that it receives all packages from my host | 00:28 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, where do the pdf files come from? | 00:28 |
| whatis_tux | nbkr, no I just looked for the file thinking the file exists but must have been modified | 00:28 |
| too5hort | Where do i find .conkyrc script? | 00:28 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: have you set up masquerading? | 00:28 |
| pw-toxic | zamba, why masquerading?.. not its just a local network | 00:28 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: or is it plain routing? | 00:28 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: dbf, they come from a 15 year old lotus approach application | 00:28 |
| VCoolio | too5hort: in your home folder, hidden, but only after you told conky to create it | 00:28 |
| nbkr | whatis_tux, Try to create a new user. If the problem is caused by the gnome settings, than they should occur on the new user. This new user should have the file, so you can copy it. | 00:29 |
| ericdb | Is 150kbps a normal download rate for a dist-upgrade? I get higher rates when updating individual packages. | 00:29 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: local network with official ips, i presume? | 00:29 |
| too5hort | VCoolio: How do i tell it to create it :)? | 00:29 |
| pw-toxic | zamba, we have two local networks here.. mine is 192.168.42/24 and the other one is 192.168.1/24 | 00:29 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5436679 too5hort | 00:29 |
| nighto | nbkr, Apparently I could sort it out. By some reason, the cloned NIC's is on eth1, not eth0. So I changed the /etc/network/interfaces and it worked. Why it's being detected as eth1 and not eth0 remains as a mystery... | 00:29 |
| VCoolio | too5hort: hang on | 00:29 |
| nighto | nbkr, But thanks anyway. | 00:29 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: the question is why is it running one way when executed directly and different when runnign through cron | 00:29 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: then you have to set up masquerading | 00:29 |
| whatis_tux | nbkr, ok I'll give it a shot | 00:29 |
| pw-toxic | 192.168.42.1 is my linxu router with two network cards.. the pc im currently chatting on | 00:29 |
| richj | KungFux, mounting to /dev/cdrom does work | 00:29 |
| VCoolio | too5hort: conky -C <--mind the capital C ! | 00:29 |
| pw-toxic | zamba, but masquerading is something of NAT ?! i dont want a NAT (by now).. i have two subnetworks which should be able to talk to each other | 00:30 |
| richj | KungFux, tool to do it easily, cmdline: sudo apt-get install gmountiso | 00:30 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: oh.. to each other.. | 00:30 |
| paolof | I am having problems with my network manager...can anyone help? | 00:30 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, like I said it does not have the same shell enviroment as user | 00:30 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: just make sure the firewall isn't blocking anything | 00:30 |
| nighto | bye | 00:30 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: check with iptables | 00:30 |
| too5hort | VCoolio: Invalid option, it says | 00:31 |
| KungFux | I'll try gmountiso. Thanks. | 00:31 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: yeah i figured this much, question is if i can set what ever makes it in the beginning of the script and solve it this way | 00:31 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, source them | 00:31 |
| VCoolio | too5hort: sorry; "conky -C > ~/.conkyrc" it is; but you can pick any example from the web and put it there; also run another config with "conky -c /path/to/file" | 00:32 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: source who? | 00:32 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, source the user profile e.g, . .profile | 00:32 |
| pw-toxic | zamba, can i completly disable iptables? ;) | 00:32 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: hmmm... intersting. let me try that | 00:32 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: just make sure that the default policy is set to ACCEPT and then just flush all chains | 00:33 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, in this case . /etc/profile and . /home/user/.profile there is a period, a space, and then the file | 00:33 |
| zamba | pw-toxic: .. in that order ,) | 00:33 |
| scottyg | does anyone know a radio desklet, or screenlet that actually works? | 00:33 |

| mdm | moonwatcher, do /etc/profile too | 00:34 |
| phantomcircuit | the System Monitor in 9.04 doesnt appear to have the amount of memory in use correct | 00:35 |
| phantomcircuit | it's saying im using 300 MiB but firefox alone is using 400 MiB of resident memory | 00:35 |
| moonwatcher | mdm: the shell can sometime drive me insane | 00:36 |
| mdm | phantomcircuit, memory is managed. Make sure its not telling what whats in physical memory and is exculding all the stuff paged out | 00:36 |
| kebomix | hello pidgin doesn't appear in indicator-applet ? | 00:36 |
| mdm | moonwatcher, linux does that to me. Try putting linux commands in a solaris box and solaris commands in a linux box. Close enough and you will think it will work, but noooo | 00:37 |
| phantomcircuit | mdm, it shows both memory and swap file, the total of which are less than 400 MiB so I guarantee it is wrong | 00:37 |
| richj | phantomcircuit, look at cmdline: cat /proc/meminfo | 00:38 |
| mdm | phantomcircuit, cat /proc/meminfo and compare that it tells you vs what you see | 00:38 |

| cyban | detrix_, should be available on windows if you installed the drivers | 01:00 |
| smil3y | detrix_> plugin your svideo cord to the card and a tv, and reboot | 01:00 |
| Prankster163 | How come downloading on ubuntu is so slow | 01:00 |
| detrix_ | cyban: its fighting me, I don't know why. | 01:00 |
| cyban | Prankster163, seems fine to me | 01:01 |
| smil3y | Prankster163> got nothing to do with ubuntu, check your connection | 01:01 |
| cyban | detrix_, you plugged it in rebooted and got nothin or? | 01:01 |
| detrix_ | smil3y: I have rebooted many time. s-video is hooked up. | 01:01 |
| lashmoove | i am trying to compile something from source and getting permission errors on creating files, even when i use "sudo ./configure" | 01:01 |
| Chrisie | k1en: yup. crontab -e and then for example only add a line like: 00 18 * * * rm /home/someuser/somedir/* | 01:01 |
| smil3y | detrix_> open nvidia control panel and enable 2nd connection | 01:01 |

| Prankster163 | Cyban: why can I install any application from add/remove program | 01:03 |
| xamox | how can I list what dev my harddrives are from the command line? | 01:03 |
| smil3y | detrix_> you dont have 2 tv screens on the nvidia control panel? | 01:03 |
| cyban | if your connections slow maybe its just taking forever to load the list? | 01:03 |
| smil3y | detrix_> click the one that is disabled | 01:03 |
| cyban | Prankster163, tried yum instead? | 01:03 |
| Prankster163 | Cyban: no it just won't let me | 01:03 |
| Prankster163 | What's yum? | 01:04 |
| cyban | er not yum, wrong OS, apt-get | 01:04 |
| Prankster163 | Yes | 01:04 |
| detrix_ | smil3y: I have to force it to detect the tv. but I can only select one video for output. | 01:04 |
| cyban | or just run aptitude (sp?) | 01:04 |
| smil3y | Prankster163> yum is redhat | 01:04 |

| bubba | E: Couldn't find package libdbus-glib-1-2_0.71-3_i386.deb | 01:39 |
| bubba | I even tired ./libdbug.... | 01:40 |
| wcomnisky | hello everyone | 01:40 |
| Seany | sup | 01:40 |
| nivekc1 | what is the difference between .deb and .rpm? I understand that they are two different package formats but why don't we just use one? Wouldn't that make linux more versatile? Is one better than the other? Why does LSB support RMP and not DEB? | 01:40 |
| cyban | bubba, can download it from here I think http://packages.debian.org/etch/libdbus-glib-1-2 | 01:40 |
| bubba | I had to force the previous files to install . | 01:40 |
| opera | hello ,wcm | 01:40 |
| inaequitas | back | 01:41 |
| bazhang | cyban, no he can't | 01:41 |
| opera | why my computer so slow , | 01:41 |
| bubba | this seems like a lot of effort to fix fix my IM program so it can continue to use Yahoo.... | 01:41 |
| Seany | think of .rpm as a redhat package and .deb as a debian package. use .rpm on redhat and redhat based distros, and .deb for debian and debian based distros (ubuntu) | 01:41 |
| Kevin` | ok it's not a user problem, it doesn't work for any X session | 01:41 |
| bazhang | cyban, that is for debian not Ubuntu | 01:41 |
| cyban | oh | 01:41 |
| Seany | Wikkedfin, any luck? | 01:41 |
| rww | nivekc1: they're different package formats. because different groups/communities prefer different formats for historical reasons. not really. not really. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base#Choice_of_RPM_package_format | 01:42 |
| opera | how can i let my computer quicker | 01:42 |
| rww | !yahoo | bubba | 01:42 |
| ubottu | bubba: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. | 01:42 |
| bazhang | opera, how much ram, what version of ubuntu | 01:42 |
| rww | bubba: seems pretty easy and package-less to me =/ | 01:42 |
| opera | bazhang, 8.10 | 01:42 |
| cyban | bubba, try looking for it in the add/remove programs? | 01:43 |
| opera | ram is 256 | 01:43 |
| bubba | cyban: yah, I tried that, no luck, yesterday i added an IP for sms.yahoo.... and yahoo worked for a day, I've since disabled that, and neither way works. | 01:43 |
| bazhang | opera, the ram would be the issue then | 01:43 |
| pw-toxic | hi, i want to set up a DNS... but i cant do "named -g" in console.. what do i have to install? | 01:43 |
| nivekc1 | Seany: i have used fedora and opensuse in the past and from my experience in my recent adoption of ubuntu .deb is much easier to work with as it takes care of downloading and installing dependencies which rpm has never done for me. | 01:43 |
| opera | but it is ok,before | 01:44 |
| bazhang | opera, perhaps try a lighter environment such as fluxbox or lxde | 01:44 |
| Wikkedfin | not my root pass | 01:44 |
| cyban | bubba, you're still trying to get libdbus-glib installed right? | 01:44 |
| Wikkedfin | its a diff password for mysql | 01:44 |
| bubba | cyban: yah... I guess... | 01:44 |
| Wikkedfin | i tried blank pass | 01:44 |
| Seany | nivekc1, I agree | 01:44 |

| storm-zen | Is it possible to install vmware server 2 and vmware server 1.09? | 01:50 |
| nivekc1 | bazhang: i simply asked if ubuntu was fully posix compliant why is that offtopic | 01:50 |

| LinuX2half | hello? How to install a dockbar | 01:52 |

| bazhang | LinuX2half, cairo-dock or awn | 01:52 |
| RealKillaz | bazhang: so I need to install it manually? why don't ubuntu make 2.0.9 available for hardy? | 01:52 |
| LinuX2half | bazhang. AWN | 01:52 |
| bazhang | RealKillaz, mixing those packages is not supported and will lead to problems | 01:53 |
| rgrasell1 | bazhang: so what does happen if you mix them? | 01:53 |
| bazhang | rgrasell1, breakage | 01:53 |

| LinuX2half | bazhang it seemed that you're busy so I'll wait for your attention. | 01:54 |
| bazhang | RealKillaz, it might be in backports, otherwise the only option is to upgrade versions | 01:54 |
| bubba | I got tired of trying, so I figured I'd go back to gaim, but it wont install because it says it needs pidgin :( | 01:55 |

| Don_Miguel | bubba, have you upgraded pidgin ? | 01:57 |

| knasto | bazhang, yes printer sharing | 02:30 |
| bazhang | knasto, what steps have you taken and what errors have you gotten so far? | 02:30 |

| Guest16884 | how do I share files so I can use them on my virtual machine | 02:32 |
| bubba | pidgin 2.5.7 gives me the same error with about glib1-2 not being satisfiable | 02:32 |
| knasto | bazhang, I have successfully installed the drivers for my brother printer and connected to it using the add a printer tool (in ubuntu). However, everytime I print its stuck on processing and If I go to printing properites in ubuntu, I get "unable to connect to CIFS host | 02:32 |
| knasto | bazhang, Also ive gotten access is denied earlier | 02:32 |
| Seany | Guest16884, you need to define a shared folder in the settings of the virtual machine in virtual box | 02:33 |
| bubba | so, is all this worth getting pidgin to work? isnt there some other alternative? | 02:33 |
| Guest16884 | how do I do that in reverse | 02:33 |
| bazhang | knasto, and the printer is connected to an XP box, and printer is set to allow sharing there? | 02:33 |
| bubba | because im just going around in circles wasting my time trying to install stuff... | 02:33 |
| Guest16884 | I can do it from the virtual machine but not through ubuntu | 02:34 |
| knasto | bazhang, yes the printer is set to allow sharing and all my xp firewalls are off. | 02:34 |

| knasto | bazhang, my exact message is "Idle - Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times)" | 02:35 |

| knasto | Seany, how do I do that? | 02:36 |

| knasto | Seany, what now | 02:38 |
| maodun | what's the easiest way for me to set up a proxy server on ubuntu? i'm stuck behind china's firewall but i have a server in the US and i just want to route my firefox traffic through the proxy. | 02:38 |

| VirusTB | ok i tried to get it, but i have no idea what I did, and if i did it right @ @ @ I need help turning my laptop into a Wifi router, so i can get my Wii (nintento) ONLINE :( | 02:39 |
| bubba | well.. how did you install it? because i've tried everything suggested here, and now it doesnt work at all :( | 02:39 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: | 02:39 |
| StrangeCharm | can I use the ubuntu gui without a mouse - say, with arrow keys instead? | 02:39 |
| maodun | (ideally i'd be able to route arbitrary traffic through it, like pidgin traffic as well. it's an ubuntu server, which is why i'm asking here) | 02:39 |
| Seany | bubba: what have you done...? | 02:39 |
| mbeierl | maodun: have you looked into squid? | 02:39 |
| knasto | Seany, just a bunch of lines 64 bytes 1.20ms. stuff like that. its not ending | 02:39 |
| Seany | ok ctrl c to kill it | 02:39 |
| bubba | I've done so many things I cant possibly remember them all, in order, and everything... | 02:39 |
| Seany | that means you are able to "talk" to the xp machine. | 02:39 |
| maodun | mbeierl: would squid be a better route than some kind of socks5 server? | 02:39 |
| Seany | what happens with the package in the package manager bubba | 02:40 |
| knasto | Seany, ok thats good i guess. Also, if I type in the IP adress in nautilus of the computer im trying to print to. i can access all the shared files. | 02:40 |
| bubba | I did uniinstall pidgin, and I was able to re-install the current official ubuntu version, but it wont work with yahoo anymore. | 02:40 |
| mbeierl | maodun: squid will give you plain and simple HTTP proxying. there is no socks stuff there so if you want more than HTTP, you will need to go the socks route or look at hosting a vpn | 02:40 |
| knasto | Seany, only when I print its stayes in the queue | 02:40 |
| Seany | ok, is the printer is that shared file/folder list? | 02:41 |
| StrangeCharm | madoun - if you're setting up a proxy, you might want to consider making it available to people in iran? | 02:41 |
| bubba | Seany: which package, I've downloaed 5 files, and there were some packages that I've uninistalled, and installed via symantie | 02:41 |
| mbeierl | bubba: I don't recall as I don't use yahoo, but yesterday there was some talk about yahoo being down | 02:41 |

| VirusTB | ok i tried to get it, but i have no idea what I did, and if i did it right @ @ @ I need help turning my laptop into a Wifi router, so i can get my Wii (nintento) ONLINE :( | 02:42 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: i need help :( | 02:42 |
| StrangeCharm | bruenig - that was uncalled for | 02:42 |
| Seany | ok, what happens when you click on print$ or the printer | 02:42 |
| bubba | yah, It stopped working a couple days ago, but I added an IP in my hosts, then it worked for a couple days... | 02:42 |
| calmbola | anyone know how to solve the busybox initramfs error on dell mini? | 02:42 |

| calmbola | installation for remix | 02:42 |
| bazhang | StrangeCharm, please keep it on tpoic | 02:42 |
| knasto | Seany, another folder and then a bunch of text files and files | 02:42 |
| VirusTB | anyone mind guiding me though sharing my laptop wifi (making an access point) | 02:42 |
| Seany | no actual printer though? | 02:42 |
| VirusTB | through** | 02:42 |
| knasto | Seany, no | 02:42 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, you followed the ics guide? | 02:43 |
| mbeierl | bubba: someone mentioned an alternate ip or server... where are the logs for this channel kept again? | 02:43 |
| maodun | mbeierl: ok, is there any way to encrypt my traffic to and from the squid server? it seems like the filters might well catch keywords if everything was sent as plaintext | 02:43 |
| * losher says the crowd's tough tonight, StrangeCharm | 02:43 | |
| Seany | ah ok i'm looking at mine (mine is the reverse of yours though) | 02:43 |
| VirusTB | baz yes, but im not sure if i did it right | 02:43 |
| VirusTB | i read it 3 times | 02:43 |
| bubba | I might be able to get the official ubuntu version installed again, but that seems pointless as it dont work with yahoo... | 02:43 |
| bazhang | !yahoo | bubba | 02:43 |
| ubottu | bubba: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. | 02:43 |
| knasto | Seany, the printer is listed though if I access the gnome "Printing" menu item | 02:43 |
| mbeierl | maodun: that would be a vpn then | 02:43 |
| VirusTB | and tried the instructions twice :S | 02:43 |
| maodun | mbeierl: socks would work too, right? | 02:43 |
| VirusTB | and tried the instructions twice :S bazhang | 02:43 |
| mbeierl | bazhang: thanks! that was it! | 02:43 |
| Seany | ok | 02:43 |
| mbeierl | maodun: it might but I do not know anything about socks | 02:43 |
| maodun | mbeierl: ok, thanks! | 02:44 |
| bubba | ubottu: yah, I tried that earlier today, no luck. | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:44 |
| knasto | Seany, could it be driver related? | 02:44 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: i ended up turning off my LAN (wired) connection | 02:44 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, using the ubuntu computer as an AP for your wii? | 02:44 |
| Seany | Yes, but i think its more network related... how does the icon look.. is there a check box on the icon | 02:44 |
| bubba | bazhang: : yah, I tried that earlier today, no luck. | 02:44 |
| StrangeCharm | madoun - you can encrypt traffic to a https server | 02:45 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: yes, my WIFI router is broken, so i wan to have my laptop as a WIFI access point | 02:45 |
| calmbola | bazhang, any idea about installing remix on dell mini? | 02:45 |

| VirusTB | is there an iPhone chat room (dev for stuff liek cydia and linux on the iphone) ? | 02:46 |
| StrangeCharm | madoun - the great firewall is pretty smart, so you may want to consider a secure socks proxy or vpn | 02:46 |
| Seany | knasto, okay dude i might be in left field, but under the sharing folder in xp is there an anonymous user check box or something to that affect? | 02:46 |
| Seany | knasto: i should be able to help, let me get a virtualbox going. | 02:47 |
| bazhang | calmbola, it comes as an img iirc, does the mini have an optical drive? | 02:47 |
| bazhang | calmbola, you can also add from the package manager ubuntu-netbook-remix is the package name | 02:48 |
| calmbola | bazhang, no optical drive | 02:48 |
| calmbola | remix on usb | 02:48 |
| knasto | Seany, yea theres nothing like that just "share this printer" and "do not share this printer" | 02:48 |
| calmbola | bazhang, if i do that, what does that do? | 02:48 |
| Seany | knasto, let me get a VB going.. are you on xp pro or home. | 02:48 |
| calmbola | i dont know if that package is available from the installed version - remember it's not the true ubuntu version on here | 02:48 |
| bazhang | calmbola, it installs it, then you can choose that to boot into | 02:48 |
| VirusTB | :( | 02:48 |
| bazhang | calmbola, ah the dell ubuntu repos | 02:49 |
| mbeierl | maodun: http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Web%20%26%20Proxy%20Servers&tab=3&subcat=Proxy%20Servers This is a free socks server from Sun - should be easy enough to set up on ubuntu I'd expect | 02:49 |
| knasto | Seany, also I am successfully able to print using the same printer on a network on another computer with XP on it. it's just the ubuntu one that cant seem to connect to it. | 02:49 |
| calmbola | bazhang, so it won't work?] | 02:49 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, after you set up the ics, did you check in the wii? | 02:49 |
| bazhang | calmbola, not sure, you can certainly put pure ubuntu on there though | 02:49 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: yes, and i didnt see any wifi networks from my Wii | 02:49 |
| knasto | Seany, I am on Home. | 02:50 |
| calmbola | bazhang, a lot of people seem to have this "bug" | 02:50 |
| Seany | ok good to know. | 02:50 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, seems that you did not set it up properly then | 02:50 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: im looking at firestarter now | 02:50 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: firestarter is a firewall?? | 02:51 |
| maodun | mbeierl: thanks - actually, i think i'm going to go the VPN route. i've never used a VPN before, but it looks like i can just set up my network connection to use the VPN and then all my traffic will be filtered through that, so that seems more convenient than configuring on an app-by-app basis with a socks server | 02:51 |
| Seany | knasto, now i'm wondering if home can't do it. | 02:51 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, front end for iptables | 02:51 |
| mbeierl | just be sure you can export the vpn port through your countries firewall ;) | 02:51 |
| calmbola | bazhang, is it sudo package manager? | 02:52 |
| VirusTB | bazhang: hmm well all this is new to me, i guess i need to learn some more on this topic.. i just wanted to play movies from ym SD card on my Wii | 02:52 |
| kesiode | could somebody please tell me how to disable this keyboard changer thing that keeps popping up with ctrl+shift and changing my kb to unicode? | 02:52 |
| knasto | Seany, well I mean it can share a printer. Why wouldnt ubuntu be able to connect to it? | 02:52 |
| bazhang | calmbola, synaptic package manager or from command line | 02:52 |
| kesiode | sorry now it's doing it with ctrl+spacebar | 02:52 |
| Seany | knasto, not sure, just a sec i'm trying to build your setup here | 02:52 |
| bazhang | calmbola, first: apt-cache search ubuntu-netbook-remix | 02:52 |
| mbeierl | maodun: for example, pptp uses port 1723. try telnetting to port 1723 of a box on the outside of the firewall (provided there is one) and see if you get through | 02:52 |
| calmbola | that package isn't in here | 02:53 |
| kesiode | it's really messing me up since I use ctrl+space in emacs to set a mark | 02:53 |
| calmbola | damned dell | 02:53 |
| knasto | Seany, ok thanks | 02:53 |
| Zoohouse | Hello everyone | 02:54 |
| mbeierl | maodun: try telnet 66.78.108.183 1723 (no, folks this is not a REAL pptp server, I've just bound a listener to that port) and see if you get connection refused, timeout or connected | 02:55 |
| maodun | mbeierl: all good, exactly how is that connected with a VPN? | 02:56 |
| ganymede | just a quick question i don't seem to understand...there are 13 IPv4 for the 13 root name servers...yet there are more than physical 13 machines? how does each IP point to multiple physical machines running DNS servers? i can understand with IPv6 and anycast, but IPv4? | 02:56 |

| Seany | joke, sorry | 02:57 |
| mbeierl | maodun: Microsoft has developed a VPN protocol, known as PPTP, which is simple to set up. It uses port 1723 for all encrypted traffic. If you can reach me at 1723, then you can reach your server at 1723, and know that you can at least have a PPTP VPN between you and your server. | 02:57 |

| mdg | Amtrask: its either that of the USB drive i used. | 03:13 |
| mdg | of/or | 03:13 |
| === homer is now known as Guest95818 | ||
| Amtrask | mdg: could be the drive. Can you test a different one? I know the bios on my old desktop doesn't boot from USB unfortunately | 03:13 |
| bubba | I got 2.5.7 working via http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ dont use the get-deb stuff... | 03:14 |
| mdg | Amtrask: I have one that says its ready to use with Vista and mac ready, but nothing about linux | 03:15 |
| gasull | Hi. Where are the repos for Karmic, if they already exist? | 03:15 |
| donny | i am trying to install wow with wine and it tells me to type this cd /home/donavan/desktop>/ when i do it says sudo apt-get install playonlinux | 03:16 |
| Seany | mdg, yea its going to be either the boot order, or the drive doesn't have the right file.. is there anywhere that says enable usb boot in the bios? | 03:16 |
| Amtrask | mdg: Don't know... the bios thing Seany suggested | 03:16 |
| Amtrask | ...was my only real idea | 03:16 |
| Amtrask | sorry got distracted :P | 03:16 |
| Seany | another computer is probably your best bet that way you can eliminate if it is the mobo or the usb drive. | 03:16 |
| mdg | Amtrask: Thanks for the input Amtrask and Seany - much appreciated :) | 03:16 |
| stopfocus | hello I am trying to edit my samba config file and have looked inside of my /etc/samba/smb.conf but the entries for the shared folders I want to remove are not there is there another config file hidden some where in Ubuntu | 03:17 |
| Seany | i always have a heck of a time wiht usb thumb drive boots | 03:17 |
| Seany | but not floppy drives with USB connectors... totally worthwhile. | 03:18 |
| VirusTB | how do i crack WPA-PSK (TKIP) wifi passwprds?? | 03:18 |
| ncfi1013_ | can anybody tell me how to disable a graphics card to a 2006 emachine? requesting an alternate solution to looking in bios menu as bios doesnt detect onboard graphics card | 03:18 |
| frost-fire | k, irqpoll set up (took a while to find the line...) wish me luck | 03:18 |
| mdg | Seany: floppy drive with USB connectors??? Please explain | 03:19 |
| donny | does any one know the best way to install wow on to my pc | 03:19 |
| frost-fire | I had a usb floppy once | 03:19 |
| frost-fire | donny lol, wow is a pain in the butt under ubuntu | 03:19 |
| gasull | Come on, I'm sure somebody knows where the Karmic repositories are. I can't find them on Google (weird). | 03:19 |
| frost-fire | you'll need wine | 03:19 |
| Seany | mdg haha, an external floppy drive that connects by USB, i use it at work sometimes. | 03:19 |
| donny | but there has got to be a way to do it | 03:19 |
| VirusTB | how do i crack WPA-PSK (TKIP) wifi passwprds?? | 03:20 |
| mdg | Seany: oh... okay. | 03:20 |
| Amtrask | Floppy -> USB just seems so weird, like a 8-track adapter for my iPod | 03:20 |
| Seany | wow on linux? yikes | 03:20 |
| mdg | Amtrask: LOL! | 03:20 |
| Unislash1 | Hey all, i'm experiencing a very large slowdown cutting movies from NTFS to my ext3 drive running ubuntu jaunty X64... is this normal? (i have 6 gigs of ram, quad core processor) | 03:20 |
| stopfocus | set up your X11 config to use the other graphics card | 03:20 |
| stopfocus | dont install wow at all | 03:20 |
| stopfocus | and wep pass is kismet | 03:20 |
| stopfocus | but i didnt say that | 03:20 |
| donny | why dont instal wow ? | 03:20 |
| Seany | Amtrask, mdg well its for when i install XP on a computer that doesn't have a floppy and the XP doesn't know the new SATA drivers.. so i have to inject the driver with the floppy | 03:20 |
| Seany | donny install xp then wow. | 03:20 |
| stopfocus | because u can send you time doing so many other cool things | 03:21 |
| stopfocus | spend | 03:21 |
| stopfocus | but if u need to it runs well under wine | 03:21 |
| donny | but i want ubuntu | 03:21 |
| Amtrask | Seany oh I understand it's got its uses. Just wondering how I'll get my old ISA drivers on Windows 7 | 03:21 |
| stopfocus | so check out the wine website | 03:21 |
| Seany | i dread win7 | 03:21 |
| Seany | donny get two machines then, seriously, once you get wow to work, it won't be as fast or as reliable. | 03:21 |
| Unislash1 | anyone know what's up with my slowdown? | 03:21 |
| Amtrask | I tried the RC1, it wasn't awful (at least it was way better than Vista) but I only used it for a few days before I went back to Ubuntu | 03:22 |
| stopfocus | any one kno anything about samba config files? | 03:22 |
| Unislash1 | stopfocus: i do :) | 03:22 |
| Seany | Unislash1, slowdowns, check your processes! | 03:22 |
| LinuX2half | hi what my the window is all black when I tried to create a launcher? | 03:22 |
| Unislash1 | seany: nothing's over 500 kb | 03:22 |
| sattam | some times when i install software via APT , i got this : The following packages cannot be authenticated , why ? | 03:22 |
| frost-fire | kay | 03:22 |
| stopfocus | unislash1: i want to configure whats shared but i can not find the entries in the config files | 03:23 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: it's like gnome freezes or something | 03:23 |
| Seany | Unislash1, what about cpu usage | 03:23 |
| frost-fire | tried irqpoll, didn't work, so I'm going to give more info | 03:23 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: cpu is down at 25%, all 4 cores | 03:23 |
| LinuX2half | hi I want to know why my launcher window turned all black | 03:23 |
| gasull | Hi. I need GnuCash 2.2.9. Is downloading from packages.ubuntu.com in the browser the only way to get it? I mean, where are the Karmic repos? Thanks. | 03:23 |
| frost-fire | I'm trying to dual-boot Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.04, no other OSes | 03:23 |
| LinuX2half | I want to know why my launcher turned all black | 03:23 |
| Seany | Amtrask, you figure i would get enough computers at work for 8 hours, then i come in here and chat computers... i'm sick. | 03:23 |
| lowlycoder | what's a good email client for ubuntu 9.04 that will let me 1) setup automatic filtering into folders 2) allow me to download all my emails and 3) let me write emails, save them, and send them when I have network connection again? | 03:23 |
| SiVA_ | well the restart didn't work | 03:24 |
| Seany | lowlycoder, t-bird? | 03:24 |
| LinuX2half | I want to know why my window turned black, I had aero-clone theme. | 03:24 |
| sattam | i found the answer :http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-aptget-warning-following-packages-cannot-authenticated/ | 03:24 |
| Amtrask | Seany: same here. The way I see it, at least the IT stuff I do at home is by choice... also it's way too hot outside | 03:24 |
| frost-fire | one SATA hard disk, five partitions | 03:24 |
| Seany | Amtrask, yea no linux at work for me... | 03:24 |
| LinuX2half | I want to know why my launcher screen turned black | 03:24 |
| lowlycoder | Seany: thanks | 03:24 |
| SiVA_ | the linux dvd apps don't give me an error message when tryign to play the dvd. But windows XP Media player complains about "digital copy protection...". The label on the dvd says Canada and I'm in Canada. Is it a DRM issue? | 03:24 |
| Seany | SiVA_, it works in linux? whats the prob? ;) | 03:25 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: here's my config http://utilitybase.com/paste/14904 | 03:25 |
| frost-fire | so. my ubuntu boots just fine, obviously, but when I boot to win it just reboots me again. | 03:25 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: it's set up to be a network share, no security | 03:25 |
| Solarbaby | Im using Ubuntu 8.04 and I keep loosing hard drive space.. I created a seperate partition for hellanzb to download from the newsgroups.. when I delete the files and empty the garbage i always loose a tiny little bit of space, and now im finally up to 30 gigs of space that i've lost and can't get back.. I dunno whats going on | 03:25 |
| Amtrask | SiVA_: DVD DRM is a joke and a hassle. I'd recommend checking out AnyDVD if you HAVE to use Windows | 03:25 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: it works with windows and xbox clients alike | 03:26 |
| Seany | Unislash1, we talking about slowness over your network? | 03:26 |
| Unislash1 | I had a heck of a time getting it right | 03:26 |
| Unislash1 | nope, over a single disk | 03:26 |
| SiVA_ | Amtrask: What about Linux? I thought linux dvd apps would work around this | 03:26 |
| Unislash1 | partitioned windows and linux | 03:26 |
| Unislash1 | (and swap...) | 03:26 |
| Seany | Unislash1, i'm a little lost, what are we doing with the samba stuff.. it is slow accessing your windows partition? | 03:26 |
| Amtrask | SiVA_ by default Ubuntu won't de-DRM things (I think?). I'm not sure how to make it do it :-/ | 03:26 |
| isleshocky771 | I just got a new hp laptop with an Intel Wireless Pro 5100 AGN wireless card. It works perfect when connected to a secure wifi connection, but when connected to an open wifi it says it's working at 11 mbps but I don't think it's going at even that cause it won't pull up google. | 03:27 |
| bazhang | SiVA_, check medibuntu.org for libdvdcss2 | 03:27 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: heh, oops, that was for stopfocus | 03:27 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I've rendered my system unbootable (yay, now I'm a real linux user :P) -- After I reinstall WinXP from the recovery dvd, I'll need to restore GRUB. I already tried several versions of instructions found in ubuntuforums... Can anyone confirm for me how to reinstall GRUB? | 03:27 |
| frost-fire | hm | 03:27 |
| isleshocky771 | Any help would be appreciated. I thought I had this bug on a distro a long time ago, but I thought it was fixed. | 03:27 |
| Seany | has it always been slow then? or is this new | 03:27 |
| bazhang | !grub > Mike_lifeguard | 03:27 |
| ubottu | Mike_lifeguard, please see my private message | 03:27 |
| Unislash1 | stopfocus: here's my samba config http://utilitybase.com/paste/14904 | 03:27 |
| Amtrask | Mike_lifeguard: Google "Super GRUB disk" | 03:28 |
| ncfi1013_ | can anybody tell me how to disable a graphics card to a 2006 emachine? requesting an alternate solution to looking in bios menu as bios doesnt detect onboard graphics card | 03:28 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: it's never been this slow. normally for cut and paste it's instant pretty much | 03:28 |
| Amtrask | thing is a lifesaver | 03:28 |
| frost-fire | yeah, I'm using super grub disk | 03:28 |
| Mike_lifeguard | bazhang: well, I'll read them again, but those didn't work previously :\ | 03:28 |
| frost-fire | it was handy | 03:28 |
| frost-fire | but now I can't get back to win | 03:28 |
| Solarbaby | ncfi1013_: sounds scary | 03:28 |
| SiVA_ | I'm using 8.10. Is that hardy or intreprid...? | 03:28 |
| Solarbaby | I never owned a emachine | 03:29 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: i'm cutting movies, but still... normally it's some 2 seconds. It's taking 20 seconds for 700 MB, and i can't do anything else or else it freezes for a minute or so | 03:29 |
| Seany | what are your specs | 03:29 |
| Seany | i want to say more ram, but i'm feeling you are going to say you have a lot | 03:29 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: Jaunty X64, 6gb ram, quad core @ 2.3 ghz each... | 03:29 |
| Amtrask | He's got a quad core? Probably a beefy machine | 03:29 |
| frost-fire | bleh | 03:29 |
| ctmjr | SiVA_, Intrepid | 03:30 |
| Seany | Hm. | 03:30 |
| Seany | eek | 03:30 |
| daem | eep! | 03:30 |
| Seany | how is when you aren't splice movies | 03:30 |
| ncfi1013_ | solarbaby arent disabling graphics cards universal across all computers? | 03:30 |
| Unislash1 | uhm... what's a big file i could move... iso images! one sec :P | 03:30 |
| losher | Solarbaby: still got a lost space problem? | 03:30 |
| stopfocus | unislash1: it works fine but there are entries to shared folders i made the the UI and i cant figure out how to remove them as they are not in the config file | 03:31 |
| Solarbaby | ncfi1013_: not exactly no | 03:31 |
| Solarbaby | losher: yes I do | 03:31 |
| Seany | Unislash1, what are you checking processes with? | 03:31 |
| stopfocus | unislash1: through the ui | 03:31 |
| frost-fire | hm, what's the easiest way to find the device number for my win7 partition? | 03:31 |
| Solarbaby | losher: im hoping i can avoid formating each time this happens | 03:31 |
| frost-fire | I think hd0,0 may not be it | 03:31 |
| SiVA_ | bazhang: thank you thank you thank you | 03:31 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: System monitor | 03:31 |
| SiVA_ | You don't know how many problems this has caused me.. | 03:32 |
| palin | ? anyone know if the a fix for the adobe flash - crashing firefox | 03:32 |
| LinuX2half | how do I check to see if I have a corrupt DL? | 03:32 |
| palin | this is on jaunty | 03:32 |
| ctmjr | frost-fire, fdisk -l | 03:32 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: the iso is going at about the same speed as a movie. Navigating with nautalis doesn't quite freeze itself for long, but it does freeze... | 03:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | bazhang: Do I need my partition where /boot/grub is mounted? If so, does it matter where? | 03:33 |
| Unislash1 | stopfocus: there are entries to shared folders... hmm... lemme look, one sec | 03:33 |
| losher | Solarbaby: you've emptied the trashcan, I take it? | 03:33 |
| Solarbaby | losher: yes | 03:33 |
| palin | LinuX2half: is the a posted md5 number | 03:33 |
| ctmjr | !md5|LinuX2half, | 03:33 |
| ubottu | LinuX2half,: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:33 |
| Solarbaby | losher: emptying the trash can brings alot back, but it always brings back less them i originally had | 03:33 |
| Seany | i'm a total newb, i always use command line for processes | 03:34 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: hmm... how do you use command line | 03:34 |
| losher | Solarbaby: ok, open a terminal, type 'df -h' and paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com so we can see what's going on.... | 03:34 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: and yea.. the iso acts the same way (and i'm frozen again) | 03:34 |
| SiVA_ | off to watch a show. Thanks all. | 03:34 |
| Seany | Unislash1, use top | 03:34 |
| Solarbaby | losher: certainly | 03:34 |
| Seany | then sort with shift . or > | 03:34 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: hehe, and by how do you use command line, i mean... to check processors | 03:34 |
| Unislash1 | top? | 03:35 |
| Seany | top is the command | 03:35 |
| Seany | you can change the sort with > and < | 03:35 |
| LinuX2half | also why when I go to synaptic package manager the theme turned to classic? | 03:35 |
| Unislash1 | and % mem is displaying in...? | 03:35 |
| Seany | %mem | 03:36 |
| Unislash1 | stopfocus: it seems that it should work with no extra hassle | 03:36 |
| Seany | Unislash1, like this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:3-2-7-top.png | 03:36 |
| Solarbaby | losher: http://pastebin.com/m73897985 | 03:37 |
| Unislash1 | stopfocus: just throw that into your smb.cfg and change the path down at the bottom to your folder you want shared... | 03:37 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: yup, yup... and is that % mem of my total memory or what? | 03:37 |
| c2d2 | I use ps afx or aux and grep through them. | 03:38 |
| Seany | yes and cpu... sort around with <,> anything stand out? | 03:38 |
| Unislash1 | nope | 03:38 |
| Seany | blast. | 03:38 |
| Unislash1 | just firefox, with 7.1 % mem | 03:38 |
| Seany | how many total processes? | 03:38 |
| losher | Solarbaby: nothing much out of the ordinary there. So which filesystem is it you think should have more space on it? | 03:38 |
| Unislash1 | some 20 or so | 03:38 |
| Seany | yea that looks clean. | 03:39 |
| Solarbaby | losher: /dev/sda2 is a 73G partiton.. when I delete all files in the partition im still left with 30 gigs short | 03:39 |
| LinuX2half | why my synaptic package manager turned to a classic theme? | 03:39 |
| Wikkedfin | Hello i'm new to Mysql, and i was wondering how do i make a shell account be able to access phpmyadmin an do whatever for their shell | 03:40 |
| anomoly | anyone have experience with the issue in this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010650 | 03:40 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: nautilus is up at 7% cpu and .9% mem... | 03:40 |
| Seany | yea it just doesn't sound bad.. what are you using to copy? | 03:40 |
| Unislash1 | nautilus cut and paste... | 03:41 |
| Eternal_Sin | hi everyone | 03:41 |
| losher | Solarbaby: ok, cd /media/disk then run 'sudo du -x | sort -rn > du.out' When it finishes, paste the first page of du.out | 03:41 |
| Seany | how about moving in the command line? i'm all about the CLI | 03:41 |
| Solarbaby | losher: btw that was happening with my primary partition too.. thats why I made a seperate partition for large temporary files.. so it wouldn't eventually kill my whole system | 03:41 |
| FAJ | hi, having issues with my nvidia card, the first time i used it it worked great, but now (after a hard restart) the resolution is messed up and i don't know why. I don't know if this is a ubuntu kernel module problem or not, but I would like some help..... maybe just to get this process rolling. | 03:41 |
| Seany | Unislash1, maybe you can try the mv command with some verbose and seeing if that leads to anything | 03:42 |
| losher | Solarbaby: so /dev/sda2 (/media/disk) is your temporary space? Where is /home ? | 03:42 |
| stopfocus | whats the command to lauch a file browser from temrinal? | 03:43 |
| Seany | i doubt cutting those big files to memory and moving is taking a lot.. | 03:43 |
| Seany | stopfocus, nautilus | 03:43 |
| Unislash1 | i have ntfsprogs for my ntfs backend | 03:43 |
| Eternal_Sin | someone uses codeblocks here? | 03:44 |
| frost-fire | yeah but I'm about to reboot | 03:44 |
| stopfocus | thank you | 03:44 |
| frost-fire | c::b is a fun time | 03:44 |
| threatrix | what do you do to find the link to an application so I can make it a default application for the internet. (I installed the firefox 3.5 rc2) | 03:44 |
| Eternal_Sin | how can i change the interface language to codeblocks??? | 03:44 |
| frost-fire | kay futzed around with menu.lst, wish me luck | 03:45 |
| Seany | Unislash1, is this copying to the same partition? | 03:45 |
| dhendrix | does anyone have a pair of kernel-img.conf and kernel-pkg.conf files set up for kernel packages with completely non-interactive setup (using make-kpkg)? | 03:45 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: i'll try mv... one sec | 03:45 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: no; different partitions (ntfs to ext3, same thing the other way too) | 03:45 |
| Seany | ok | 03:46 |
| Solarbaby | losher: http://pastebin.com/m7916027 | 03:46 |
| Unislash1 | stopfocus, did you get my PM or do i really need to register? :P | 03:46 |
| Seany | i notice a performance hit when i copy to my ntfs drive... but i thought it was just the USB connection. | 03:46 |
| Solarbaby | losher: I see things in there I deleted a long time ago | 03:46 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: another interesting thing to note is that my moving progression *stops* when i navigate nautilus while doing it (using cut/paste) | 03:47 |
| unitheory | has anyone received the "powered by ubuntu" stickers from system76? | 03:48 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: mv-ing now | 03:48 |
| FAJ | unitheory: yes | 03:48 |
| losher | Solarbaby: yeah, well now you know why you're losing space. They aren't gone. du.out shows, from largest to smallest, files & directories, with their size in kbytes. So for example, ./.Trash-0/files is about 26G and contains all sorts of stuff. | 03:48 |
| c0l2e | is there a GUI grub editor for ubuntu? | 03:48 |
| Seany | Unislash1, strange, let's definitely try without naut to eliminate | 03:48 |
| Unislash1 | Seny: seems to be much better | 03:48 |
| unitheory | faj, are they metallic, or just regular stickers? | 03:49 |
| Seany | Unislash1, weird. | 03:49 |
| FAJ | unitheory: regular i believe.... i am pretty sure | 03:49 |
| Seany | open up nauty and see what happens haha | 03:49 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: yea, about same completion speed... but no slowdown (not much, at least--not like using cut n paste) | 03:49 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: i did :) | 03:49 |
| Seany | what happened? | 03:49 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: i navigated and all that; no slowdown | 03:49 |
| Solarbaby | losher: and of course when I go to Places/Trash its empty.. so its probably a permission issue.. How do I deal with this? | 03:49 |
| Seany | yea i don't get that... | 03:49 |
| Seany | have you tried copying instead of cutting? | 03:50 |
| Solarbaby | losher: I was just going to log into root and empty the garbage that way, but it wont let me | 03:50 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: so weird... it's like nautilus runs out of mem or something... | 03:50 |
| losher | Solarbaby: if you type e.g. 'rm -rf ./.Trash-0/files' you'll (eventually) get 26G back. | 03:50 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: not really... lemme try... lol | 03:50 |
| Solarbaby | losher: sweeeet! | 03:50 |
| Seany | i never cut. | 03:50 |
| Seany | ever. | 03:50 |
| frost-fire | okay | 03:50 |
| frost-fire | getting a little irritating now. | 03:50 |
| losher | Solarbaby: filenames beginning with dot "." are, by convention, not listed, so as to avoid clutter. | 03:50 |
| Seany | too much lost files at work from people cutting on network drives! | 03:51 |
| threatrix | How do you find the links to an application? | 03:51 |
| frost-fire | I hit up grub's command line | 03:51 |
| frost-fire | grub works fine till I hit "boot" | 03:51 |
| Seany | threatrix, links? | 03:51 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: weird... copying doesn't make it freeze like cutting | 03:51 |
| LinKDeaD | Hello. I love ubuntu, but I have some things I need windows for, mainly gaming wise. I have XP on my laptop, but lost my XP CD and was wondering if there was a way to copy my laptops hard-drive to an empty partition on my desktop and be able to dual boot windows and Ubuntu | 03:51 |
| threatrix | seany, like how firefox is firefox %s | 03:51 |
| cabrey | threatrix, you mean find the actual binary? | 03:52 |
| Solarbaby | losher: if the answer is that simple.. i'll just write it in my notes and be happy as hell.. Thanks | 03:52 |
| Unislash1 | LinkDeaD: you should be able to | 03:52 |
| LinKDeaD | Unislash1: Do you know of any websites that might offer a tutorial on how to do that? | 03:52 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: nautilus navigation is definitely slower than when i'm not copying, but it doesn't freeze the whole machine like with cutting | 03:52 |
| predictable | Can anyone tell me how to get java working. I went to synaptics and typed java and it installed sun java , but its not working.. | 03:52 |
| threatrix | cabrey, yeah thats what i meant | 03:52 |
| Seany | Unislash1, i though it might not.. it must not having it in memory and copying it | 03:52 |
| losher | Solarbaby: run the rm command, and then run 'df -h' again & see what it says for free space on /media/disk | 03:52 |
| cabrey | threatrix, in that case running << which program_here >> will search the path and give you the locationg | 03:52 |
| Unislash1 | LinkDeaD: nope... google's your best bud | 03:52 |
| LinKDeaD | Unislash1: Alright, thanks a lot man! | 03:52 |
| Solarbaby | losher: it did something very strange | 03:53 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: hmm, uhm, explain a bit more :) | 03:53 |
| Seany | threatrix, i guess i'm dumb, what does firefox %s do | 03:53 |
| frost-fire | anyone available to do a little grub hacking? | 03:53 |
| Unislash1 | LinKDeaD: yups :) | 03:53 |
| losher | Solarbaby: I'm listening... | 03:53 |
| SeaPhor | Unislash1, any chance ATI graphics are involved? | 03:53 |
| Unislash1 | SeaPhor: nope... nvidia Geforce 8800 GT | 03:53 |
| Seany | Unislash1, when you cut, it stores it in memory then copies it over.. maybe its too much to handle..? | 03:53 |
| Solarbaby | losher: http://pastebin.com/m3cc773d3 | 03:54 |
| Unislash1 | Hard drive's a WD 750GB @ 7500 RPM... no problem there either ;) | 03:54 |
| Seany | Unislash1, not really limiations of your machine, but maybe naut doesn't like it, i can't really answer | 03:54 |
| jan247 | hi guys, how do i mark a package as manually installed? | 03:54 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: well, weird | 03:54 |
| Seany | Unislash1, yea who knows. | 03:54 |
| Solarbaby | losher: you'll see it added /dev/sda1 | 03:54 |
| predictable | Anyone? | 03:54 |
| nixiepixel | Hi, I have a Jaunty machine that suddenly lost the ability to connect to the internet, even though it can ping pcs on the network with no problem, and other computers can reach the internet. I cannot ping outside the local network, though I can ping & log into the router. Any ideas? | 03:54 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: I guess that means for big files i'll just use mv... meh... so messy | 03:54 |
| Seany | Unislash1, messy? no way! | 03:54 |
| frost-fire | should I be in a different channel? Doesn't seem too helpful in here. | 03:54 |
| Solarbaby | losher: i did get my space back though :) | 03:55 |
| frost-fire | for my particular issue. | 03:55 |
| Seany | its faster once you get it down. | 03:55 |
| Unislash1 | predictable java not working? weird. should work out of the box | 03:55 |
| frost-fire | otherwise, quite helpful. | 03:55 |
| Chaorain | Hey I need to remove Raid meta data from two HDDs (Raid 1 - Mirror) Help? | 03:55 |
| Seany | and you can do it in another terminal and not look at it :D | 03:55 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: lol | 03:55 |
| predictable | Can anyone tell me how to get java working. I went to synaptics and typed java and it installed sun java , but its not working..java -version comes back with Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03) but the synaptic says ver. 6 something mm | 03:55 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: but if your file name is all long and messy... meh | 03:55 |
| Seany | what about tab completion? | 03:55 |
| predictable | unislashl: nope it's not.. | 03:55 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: ah, right. that might help | 03:55 |
| threatrix | cabrey, how exactly do you do that? in terminal? | 03:56 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: well that'll make it a lot faster. thanks for reminding me :D | 03:56 |
| jan247 | hi guys, sorry.. i think been disconnected. how would i mark a package as manually installed? | 03:56 |
| losher | Solarbaby: the /dev/sda1 thing is harmless. Some nautilus nonsense... | 03:56 |
| cabrey | threatrix, yes. Applications > Accessories > Terminal | 03:56 |
| Seany | n/p command line rocks. | 03:56 |
| cabrey | jan247, use 'hold' | 03:56 |
| Trentor | Question: Can major installation problems occur if I change a rpm to a deb file with alien? Or would it be better to install with a .bundle if the software source provides it? | 03:56 |
| Solarbaby | losher: in that case, it worked perfectly! Thanks!! is this a common problem? | 03:56 |
| predictable | I need it for work. can anyone plz help. or suggestions? | 03:56 |
| Unislash1 | predictable: what's the package you installed, exactly? and which ubuntu version? | 03:57 |
| cabrey | jan247, for example: sudo dpkg --set-selections package_name hold | 03:57 |
| losher | Solarbaby: you're the second person I've helped with this. I don't run Nautilus myself so I can't tell if it's a bug in Nautlius, but I suspect so... | 03:58 |
| predictable | unsihlash1: ubuntu 9.04 and this pack. sun-java6-javadb | 03:58 |
| cabrey | Solarbaby, file a bug if you think it's common :) (or if it appears to be) | 03:58 |
| Solarbaby | losher: ok well you gave me the fix and thats great thank you so much | 03:58 |
| losher | Solarbaby: my pleasure | 03:58 |
| Solarbaby | cabrey: if this happens on my laptop too, i'll file it as a common bug | 03:59 |
| jan247 | cabrey, how does hold work? i've got a package that depends on a broken package.. but i don't really need that dependency anyway | 03:59 |
| threatrix | cabrey, when I do that i just see a > blinking a bunch and doing nothing | 03:59 |
| Unislash1 | predictable: try openjdk-6-jre | 03:59 |
| Unislash1 | search that up | 03:59 |
| Solarbaby | losher: have a good day! | 03:59 |
| cabrey | jan247, hold keeps the package at it's current version and doesn't let apt[itude] upgrade it from the repos | 03:59 |
| predictable | unislash1: whats the differ? | 04:00 |
| frost-fire | http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/relnotes/version-5.0.html | 04:00 |
| cabrey | threatrix, when you run `which program_name_here` in the Terminal nothing comes back? | 04:00 |
| Unislash1 | predictable: well, the difference is i know it works with 9.04 :) | 04:00 |
| nixiepixel | Does anyone know how to troubleshoot an internet connection in Ubuntu? :( | 04:00 |
| frost-fire | predictable- check my link | 04:00 |
| predictable | unishlash1: k its doing it now js | 04:00 |
| cabrey | threatrix, tell me exactly what you are typing in the Terminal | 04:00 |
| Unislash1 | predictable: it's working here... it should work there. but check frostfire's link too | 04:00 |
| frost-fire | will try to find the specific one for 6 | 04:01 |
| Trentor | How do I install software with .bundle? | 04:01 |
| cabrey | Trentor, what software? | 04:01 |
| Trentor | VMWare 6.5.1 Linux cabrey | 04:01 |
| rww | !vmware | Trentor | 04:01 |
| LinKDeaD | Can I format a partition in NTFS format using Ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Trentor: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 04:01 |
| threatrix | cabrey, oh ok i got it the <<>> confused me | 04:01 |
| mdg | nixiepixel: what's going on? | 04:01 |
| Trentor | I just converted the .rpm to a .deb package with alien but all it did was show that the rpm has a .bundle inside of it, hehe | 04:02 |
| cabrey | Trentor, first run chmod +x filename.bundle, then sudo ./filename.bundle | 04:02 |
| Trentor | Ok, thank you | 04:02 |
| nixiepixel | mdg - I have a Jaunty machine that suddenly lost the ability to connect to the internet, even though it can ping pcs on the network with no problem, and other computers can reach the internet. I cannot ping outside the local network, though I can ping & log into the router. Any ideas? | 04:02 |
| cabrey | Trentor, make sure you have build-essential installed and linux-headers | 04:02 |
| Iron_Chef | What's the best way to encrypt /home ? | 04:02 |
| Iron_Chef | on a laptop | 04:02 |
| mdg | nixiepixel: firewall? | 04:03 |
| losher | LinKDeaD: I thought gparted would format ntfs.... | 04:03 |
| frost-fire | right, so | 04:03 |
| frost-fire | java 1.6 is probably java 6 | 04:03 |
| frost-fire | in any case | 04:04 |
| jan247 | cabrey, problem is i don't have any version of the package depended on installed | 04:04 |
| Unislash1 | frost-fire: java's naming scheme is just so weird | 04:04 |
| frost-fire | I can't boot my other operating system | 04:04 |
| frost-fire | and yes, it's weird. | 04:04 |
| nixiepixel | mdg - I have no firewall set up on the machine, though I'm happy to check if somehow some setting was adjusted without my knowledge? Unless you mean firewall on the router - no access restriction on outbound traffic... | 04:04 |
| losher | !ntfs | LinKDeaD | 04:04 |
| ubottu | LinKDeaD: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 04:04 |
| Unislash1 | losher: gparted can, but you need ntfsprogs first | 04:04 |
| predictable | unishlash1: im using firefox is there anything I need to do with it.. this didn't seem to work either... | 04:04 |
| cabrey | jan247, you want to install a package that depends on something that isn't installed, but the package you're trying to install doesn't actually need it, so it is a packaging error, does that sum it up? | 04:05 |
| frost-fire | weird, I edited my fstab and jaunty 9.04 loaded up the NTFS partition with write access just fine | 04:05 |
| nixiepixel | mdg - actually, nevermind, I found a problem with the router with regard to that PC, thanks to your question! | 04:05 |
| Unislash1 | predictable: uhm... erm... that's weird | 04:05 |
| frost-fire | firefox will give you a list of java options also | 04:05 |
| frost-fire | when you navigate to a page that needs java | 04:06 |
| cabrey | !who | 04:06 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 04:06 |
| Unislash1 | predictable: listen to frost-fire :) | 04:06 |
| LinKDeaD | Now before I get too in to this and possibly waste my time...is it possible to network a Windows Laptop to my Ubuntu Desktop? | 04:06 |
| frost-fire | there's a seperate plugin for java for ff | 04:06 |
| Trentor | cabey there are a variety of linux-headers, which one are you speaking of, I have the following installed: linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-2.6.28-11, linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic | 04:06 |
| mdg | nixiepixel: NP. Acutally, its Menu, System, Admin > Firewall | 04:06 |
| Unislash1 | LinKDeaD if by network you mean put them on the same network, then yes, for sure | 04:06 |
| cabrey | predictable, have you install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin? | 04:06 |
| cabrey | s/install/installed | 04:06 |
| losher | LinKDeaD: yes, using samba | 04:06 |
| predictable | frost-fire: do u know how to get this plugin.. im thinking it is with firefox | 04:06 |
| losher | !samba | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 04:06 |
| predictable | cabrey: how would I know I got the plugin im doing it from the synaptic | 04:07 |
| Unislash1 | LinKDeaD: use Samba... and if you need a config file, you can use mine | 04:07 |
| frost-fire | predictable: just go to a site that has a java applet on it. | 04:07 |
| cabrey | predictable, open up a terminal and type sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre | 04:07 |
| losher | LinKDeaD: I suggest you take Unislash1 up on his kind offer. Samba is a pig to configure first time round... | 04:07 |
| predictable | frost-fire: well im trying work, to view xrays I currently done.. do u know a test site? | 04:07 |
| cabrey | predictable, you will then need to completely close out FF and restart it | 04:07 |
| Unislash1 | yea... it took 3 hours or so | 04:08 |
| LinKDeaD | Unislash1: I would appreciate that a lot | 04:08 |
| Unislash1 | although, i didn't realize you just have to be patient with windows... lol | 04:08 |
| === TheQ_ is now known as TheQ | ||
| predictable | cabrey: i checked synaptics I never saw anything about a plugin, so ill try to get the plugin only js | 04:08 |
| LinKDeaD | Unislash1: The whole point is to transfer everything on my windows hard drive to my ubuntu PC | 04:08 |
| frost-fire | predictable: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 | 04:09 |
| Unislash1 | oh | 04:09 |
| Unislash1 | well you can do that already | 04:09 |
| frost-fire | that one should be the silver bullet | 04:09 |
| cabrey | predictable, close out synaptic, that thing is too hard to help you navigate through irc, use the terminal | 04:09 |
| Unislash1 | LinKDeaD the hard part is ubuntu -> windows | 04:09 |
| frost-fire | there will be a big blue button | 04:09 |
| Unislash1 | err, wait | 04:10 |
| frost-fire | or, if you've got the right version, it'll tell you so. | 04:10 |
| Unislash1 | ok | 04:10 |
| predictable | cabrey: ok, its getting sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin | 04:10 |
| frost-fire | or the terminal works too. | 04:10 |
| LinKDeaD | Unislash1: Is it OK to PM you? | 04:10 |
| frost-fire | I'm still having Grub problems | 04:10 |
| Unislash1 | LinKDeaD: ubuntu can see windows computers on a network just fine. Windows cannot see ubuntu computers without samba | 04:10 |
| Unislash1 | sure | 04:10 |
| vvpalin | anyone know how to setup multipul desktops from command line ? | 04:10 |
| frost-fire | vvpalin- working on it -_- | 04:11 |
| Ahadiel | y | 04:11 |
| Ahadiel | mt | 04:11 |
| predictable | frost-fire: i tried that it says oops u dont have recommended java lol hrmm and this was after I got the plugin and restarted fox | 04:11 |
| frost-fire | vvpalin: you using jaunty? | 04:11 |
| scottyg_ | hello | 04:11 |
| cabrey | predictable, we are just one update behind, it's ok to ignore that | 04:11 |
| vvpalin | ya .. a derivative .. but ya | 04:11 |
| Seany | Unislash1, windoze and linux are best friends on networks | 04:11 |
| predictable | cabrey: k | 04:11 |
| Trentor | cabrey there are a variety of linux-headers, which one are you speaking of, I have the following installed: linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-2.6.28-11, linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic | 04:12 |
| frost-fire | cool. How many drives? | 04:12 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: lol... well, they're enemies for me :P | 04:12 |
| cabrey | Trentor, run uname -r and post the output here | 04:12 |
| frost-fire | vvpalin: one drive with a couple partitions is the good case. Multiple drives can be hard. | 04:12 |
| predictable | ahh its working now | 04:12 |
| predictable | Thx guys | 04:12 |
| Seany | exactly, but ubuntu standard samba makes it not terrible | 04:12 |
| Trentor | cabrey: 2.6.28-11-generic | 04:12 |
| predictable | I guess it was the plugin for firefox I needed | 04:12 |
| Seany | then the shares it makes, windows can hit with UNC paths | 04:12 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: well, it didn't work for me ;) | 04:13 |
| vvpalin | frost-fire, i dont think you understand | 04:13 |
| cabrey | Trentor, ok you're good you can run the installer now :) | 04:13 |
| predictable | frost-fire: thx | 04:13 |
| predictable | cabrey: thx | 04:13 |
| cabrey | np | 04:13 |
| predictable | unishlash1: thx | 04:13 |
| vvpalin | frost-fire, i just want more so i can setup the cube in compiz | 04:13 |
| Unislash1 | yups | 04:13 |
| Seany | Unislash1, GUI style or editing .conf files? | 04:13 |
| predictable | take cares | 04:13 |
| Unislash1 | gui | 04:13 |
| vvpalin | frost-fire, im not trying to setup a vm or anything | 04:13 |
| Seany | but you got it now? | 04:13 |
| nixiepixel | vvpalin - you don't need to set up multiple desktops from the command line | 04:13 |
| cabrey | vvpalin, you want to customize compiz? | 04:14 |
| frost-fire | vvpalin: you want desktop images? | 04:14 |
| Unislash1 | Seany: yups :) | 04:14 |
| Seany | cool. | 04:14 |
| Unislash1 | and it works with xbox 360 too :P | 04:14 |
| vvpalin | frost-fire, no | 04:14 |
| Unislash1 | took me a whole night, though | 04:14 |
| scottyg_ | this jaunty uses more resouces than micro$oft windows! my cpu cores are at 78-90 % all bloody day! | 04:14 |
| Seany | yea its fun to setup.... | 04:14 |
| Seany | ........... | 04:14 |
| vvpalin | ok im working with a live cd build, that has compiz on it, and i dont want to have to enable 4 desktops everytime i boot it | 04:14 |
| kewlpics | need some help | 04:14 |
| Seany | speaking of games unislash is that like omnislash | 04:14 |
| frost-fire | actually I was pretty impressed with 7 | 04:14 |
| vvpalin | throught the gui | 04:14 |
| cabrey | !ask | 04:14 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:14 |
| rz187 | how do you do an ipconfig in ubuntu | 04:14 |

| felix_ | <felix_> anyone deals with mysql? | 04:15 |
| felix_ | <felix_> i want to create a database and a user | 04:15 |
| nixiepixel | vvpalin - you could always right-click on the workspace section and up the number, that's pretty much as simple as doing it from the command line | 04:15 |
| rz187 | thanks | 04:15 |
| lstarnes | kewlpics: you haven't said what you needed help with yet | 04:15 |
| vvpalin | ya but i can modify the live cd, i just dont have gui access to do it | 04:16 |
| frost-fire | I AM running Jaunty 9.04, SATA hard disk with about 5 partitions and 2 operating systems. However, GRUB only boots Ubuntu, I still don't have the boot.ini script working. | 04:16 |
| vvpalin | that make sense ? | 04:16 |
| frost-fire | for win7 | 04:16 |
| edbian | vvpalin: Explain what you're trying to do in more detail for me please. | 04:16 |
| kewlpics | I am trying to copy files betwee two SATA drivers, they are both on ext3.. 1.5TB and 650GB.. it is slow.. really slow | 04:16 |
| cabrey | vvpalin, no, lay out everything in one 'post' | 04:16 |
| cabrey | vvpalin, no enter key preferrably | 04:16 |
| vvpalin | k | 04:16 |
| kewlpics | internal drives in the same PC.. ubuntu 8.04 | 04:17 |
| frost-fire | hm | 04:17 |
| edbian | kewlpics: How fast does the little "file transfer" gui say it's going at? | 04:17 |
| rz187 | can i remote into a windows 2003 server machine with remote desktop viewer | 04:18 |
| cabrey | rz187, use terminal server client | 04:18 |
| vvpalin | alright i have a iso of a live cd i want to modify, and i have a script that will extract everything and give me a shell and i can do whatever mods i want with it, but no gui access, i have copiz installed and it needs 4 desktops for the cube, the live cd only has 2 rite now, so i need to enable 4 through the command line | 04:18 |
| vvpalin | thats windy | 04:18 |
| kewlpics | 7.5 MB/s | 04:18 |
| kewlpics | is that normal? | 04:18 |
| cabrey | kewlpics, is any drive encrypted? | 04:18 |
| kewlpics | negative | 04:18 |
| === Mike is now known as Guest74256 | ||
| edbian | vvpalin: So you're trying to save changes on a live CD essentially | 04:18 |
| kewlpics | I copy to the USB extenal drive is faster.. I think.. | 04:19 |
| rz187 | awesome thanks again | 04:19 |
| vvpalin | basically, but i can save changes no prob .. i just need the command to enable 4 desktops from bash | 04:19 |
| cabrey | vvpalin, i think there is a gconf setting for that | 04:19 |
| vvpalin | cabrey, thats fine i can just grep it in, any clue where it is ? | 04:19 |
| cabrey | vvpalin, not yet but you would use gconftool | 04:20 |
| rz187 | anyway of adding songs to the iphone or getting itunes to work on ubuntu yet? | 04:20 |
| kewlpics | I have nothing running on the box.. besides the copy.. | 04:20 |
| kewlpics | the source directory does have a few symb links to it | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | !itunes | rz187 | 04:20 |
| ubottu | rz187: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 04:20 |
| losher | kewlpics: my 8.04 sata disk to disk copy seems to be getting about 40MB/s currently | 04:20 |

| edbian | kewlpics: What kind of connection are they? IDE or sata? | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | rz187: if you get from their site for Virtualbox you get USB suppourt, the open source version does not have that feature | 04:23 |
| rz187 | oh ok I"ll give that a shot | 04:23 |
| vvpalin | cabrey, awesome thank yo so much =] | 04:23 |

| rz187 | k i'll give it a try, thanks | 04:25 |
| edbian | kewlpics: I don't know what the problem might be. I do know however that there are many many bottlenecks. You're never going to achieve 3Gb/s. For example there are algorithms that the system uses when decided where to write data on a disk. Also there is disk I/O latency. Computations must be done just to write data to the disk. Perhaps google around and see what is normal. 7Mb/s sounds slow to me but I really have no way to judge. | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | rz187: np | 04:25 |
| themurmish | gogeta: So after it returns to the login screen I go to the terminal and look what's running? | 04:25 |

| gogeta | sometimes | 04:32 |
| unitheory | sorry tab-complete is killing me | 04:32 |

| lf4 | vip3rousmango: I am not running X this is all CLI. | 04:32 |
| marcus | unitheory: Kind of defeats the purpose of being able to turn them on and off. | 04:33 |
| manish | evon: maybe you will be able to recover them using live cd | 04:33 |
| gogeta | themurish do you run nivida drivers? | 04:33 |
| unitheory | marcus, well, they won't load on start-up if you turn them off | 04:33 |

| themurmish | Now the graphics are fine but it crashes when I start Gnome | 04:34 |
| evon | losher: I started a windows installation on a separate HD but then I shut down the computer in the middle of the installation. Then when i restarted my comp said I had an invalid partition table. so then i used testdisk and tried to restore the partition but it restored partitions from long ago. so no it's telling me I don't even have and bootable media | 04:34 |
| gogeta | themumish maybe you need to reconfigure xorg | 04:34 |
| themurmish | I already deleted Compiz, reconfigured xorg and deleted all Gnome settings | 04:34 |
| evon | losher: so i just want to recover the files and do a fresh install. liveCDs are need reading any partitions or files that i need | 04:35 |

| Froad | guys: how much slower is ubuntu vs xubuntu on a computer with 900mhz ram and 368 mb of ram | 04:35 |

| Froad | mhz processor* | 04:35 |
| themurmish | that was the first thing I did | 04:35 |

| gogeta | evon then unfortanly its just nearly inpossale to recover files from a linux fs | 04:45 |
| bastidrazor | RobertX, the binaries would go in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and config files would go in /etc/ | 04:45 |
| kewlpics | let me try | 04:45 |
| gogeta | once deketed | 04:45 |

| gogeta | evon gparted might see it even not mounted | 04:51 |
| evon | gogeta: just a very old partition that testdisk restored. the rest is unallocated space. | 04:51 |
| evon | gogeta: i'll check now | 04:51 |
| ThatGuy_ | can anybody help me get an external monitor to work with my laptop | 04:51 |
| PetePO | losher: tru. I paused as I hit the enter key. then had that lovely sinking feeling. Thought for sure I finished the directory. I'll give a reinstall a whirl. I found the package backups in var/backups so I know what I had before. | 04:51 |
| losher | PetePO: ok, be careful not to trash /home wherever it is... | 04:52 |
| sexcopter | I have a smb mount to a windows share, but is there somewhere I can find it in the filesystem tree? I don't mean the shortcut on the desktop... | 04:52 |
| kewlpics | losher: Okay.. copy between the SGT is around 37 MB/s. Copy between WD is at 11 MB/s.. I guess my WD is just slow.. | 04:52 |

| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: you using ati, by any chance? | 04:53 |
| === plic_ is now known as plic | ||
| kewlpics | yeah.. it is newer than the WD | 04:53 |
| kewlpics | I do like SGT tho | 04:53 |
| gogeta | segate 4 life | 04:53 |
| evon | gogeta: all gparted sees is unallocated space and an old partition that has nothing i want in it | 04:53 |
| kewlpics | let me do the same command for WD | 04:53 |
| kewlpics | see what I get | 04:53 |
| ThatGuy_ | no i'm not | 04:54 |
| PetePO | losher: ha! knowing what I know now I should really alias rm to require a double enter | 04:54 |
| Unislash1 | kewlpics: same rpm speed and hard drive size? | 04:54 |
| gogeta | evon humm | 04:54 |
| losher | kewlpics: that's consistent with the numbers I see here for seagates. That's a 4X difference in speed, which is huge. google the specs for the WD and see if you can find some kind of official transfer rate | 04:54 |
| gogeta | evon maybe the fs is just meessed up | 04:54 |
| evon | gogeta: no idea how though | 04:54 |
| vip3rousmango | evon: when you restored the earlyer partition did it override the current partition setup you had? | 04:55 |
| gogeta | evon even a bad table gparted should see it as a unknown | 04:55 |
| kewlpics | yep.. let me check it out.. | 04:55 |
| kewlpics | brb | 04:55 |
| aarcane | hallo, anyone here bored enough to do an experiment for me ? | 04:55 |
| ThatGuy_ | Unislash1 it's an nvidia geforce 7600 on an hp pavillion | 04:55 |
| evon | gogeta: it actually says "unallocated". i'm looking at it right now | 04:55 |
| losher | PetePO: I see people aliasing rm to 'rm -i' . Still no substitute for calm, quiet deliberation, though. Some commands are just competely unforgiving... | 04:56 |
| evon | vip3rousmango: yes it seems so | 04:56 |
| gogeta | evon then testdisk never restored it | 04:56 |
| gogeta | evon just freed it | 04:56 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: ok, should work ok... what's the situation? | 04:56 |
| vip3rousmango | evon: then testdisk over-rode your previous partition and its information, restoring it with the backup it thought you wanted. | 04:56 |
| evon | gogeta: correction, it restored another partition and left about half of the HD unallocated | 04:57 |
| cabrey | ThatGuy_, have you installed nvidia drivers? | 04:57 |
| gogeta | as he said | 04:57 |
| vip3rousmango | evon: whoa, you stoped it in the middle of the process? | 04:57 |
| evon | vip3rousmango: you mean in test disk? | 04:57 |
| ThatGuy_ | Unislash1 well, the laptop screen itself is completely busted, and the external one will show up, but it's incredibly fuzzy, and sometimes blacks out every couple of seconds | 04:57 |
| evon | vip3rousmango: no i didn't do that | 04:57 |
| vip3rousmango | evon: yes | 04:57 |
| ThatGuy_ | cabrey no, but i'm doing that right now, and am going to be upset with myself if that fixes it | 04:58 |
| Unislash1 | fuzzy and blacking out... great | 04:58 |
| losher | evon: but you *did* interrupt a windows install. right? | 04:58 |
| gogeta | genrelly those restore programs do the entire disk | 04:58 |
| evon | losher: correct | 04:58 |
| gogeta | evon | 04:58 |
| PetePO | ThatGuy: tested you cable? | 04:58 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: that makes me think it's a hardware issue... what cord? | 04:58 |
| evon | gogeta: what's up? | 04:58 |
| ThatGuy_ | yes, it's doing the same thing with several different cords | 04:58 |
| gogeta | evon including all partations | 04:58 |
| evon | gogeta:? | 04:58 |
| aarcane | anyone know what a good disk-to-disk speed is when using dd ? | 04:59 |
| gogeta | evon i said the restore program probly did your entire disk | 04:59 |
| kewlpics | WD is a 640 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA II hard drive | 04:59 |
| kewlpics | I will find more info | 04:59 |
| vip3rousmango | evon: it sounds to me that you won't be able to RECOVER lost data, but doing a fresh install formating the whole drive will reset it for future use, but I think you screwed yourself my friend. :( | 04:59 |
| losher | kewlpics: got the model number? | 04:59 |
| max__ | What is a program that I can use to capture pictures from my built-in webcam on a laptop? | 04:59 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: if it's svideo, then that's the problem. if it's DVI or VGA then you're probably ok... but i'd try another cord first | 04:59 |
| vip3rousmango | max__: cheese | 04:59 |
| gogeta | :( | 04:59 |
| ThatGuy_ | it's a regular vga, and unfortunately that's all i have on hand to try | 05:00 |
| gogeta | evon this is why i keep all my inportant data on a usb segate | 05:00 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: well, i'm betting it's the cord or connection. | 05:00 |
| kewlpics | looking for it.. don't want to open up the pC | 05:00 |
| vip3rousmango | gogeta: indeed! :D | 05:00 |
| unitheory | gogeta, what if the drive fails? | 05:00 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: if it works at all, then it's probably not software... | 05:01 |
| evon | gogeta: ok i'm looking at gparted right now. it says Unallocated 43.7GiB, /dev/sda5 36.4GiB, unallocated 5.93GiB etc | 05:01 |
| gogeta | 5 year warrenty | 05:01 |
| vip3rousmango | unitheory: then your friend with the larger drive has you backed up :D | 05:01 |
| gogeta | unitheory and dvd -r | 05:01 |
| ThatGuy_ | i thought the same thing, but when i was installing ubuntu off xp, it worked perfectly | 05:01 |
| kewlpics | sorry.. I got it,, I could just run the same command | 05:01 |
| vip3rousmango | lol do you know how many dvd r you need for a 1tb drive?!? | 05:01 |
| losher | aarcane: we were just discussing disk-to-disk speed in another context. I see about 40MB/s generally... | 05:02 |
| vip3rousmango | evon: if you try to install Ubuntu of the live cd, does the partition manager recognize the partitioned drive? | 05:02 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: hmmm... well, that's weird. do you have a dvi connection? | 05:03 |
| losher | kewlpics: sudo hdparm -I <device name of wd> will tell you | 05:03 |
| aarcane | losher: I'm only getting 25.3, but that's also over USB.. | 05:03 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: i know you don't have the cord, but do you have the capability? | 05:03 |
| evon | vip3rousmango: no it's just unallocated space. What i've already done is install ubuntu on a seperate HD so i can more easily try to fix the partition in question. I'm working on it as we speak | 05:04 |
| === jim__ is now known as Koltor | ||

| losher | aarcane: I don't have a usb drive so I can't test it. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21887?viewlocale=en_US says usb--1 is 12MB/s and usb-2 is 480mbps (note change of units) | 05:05 |

| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: well, i gtg. That is very weird, but i definitely think it is a hardware problem. try switching things out on the hardware side and see if anything changes | 05:07 |
| aarcane | evon: could the partition have only 44 gigs of data in it ? | 05:07 |

| ThatGuy_ | unfortunately i've tried that too, nothing different, thanks for trying though | 05:07 |
| evon | aarcane: nope it was almost full actually | 05:07 |
| aarcane | evon: if it finds the start of the partition, you can adjust the end by hand.. | 05:07 |
| Unislash1 | ThatGuy_: well, maybe it's the connection...? | 05:08 |
| Unislash1 | ah, idea | 05:08 |
| evon | aarcane: how do i do that? | 05:08 |
| Unislash1 | how well does the boot up screen show? | 05:08 |
| Unislash1 | before the ubuntu one | 05:08 |
| Unislash1 | if it's fuzzy too, you've got a hardware problem | 05:08 |
| Pici | mlissner: You may want to look at phatch, the package's description makes it sound like it does what you need it to do | 05:09 |
| Unislash1 | (try hitting your bios to test) | 05:09 |
| aarcane | evon: don't you know how to use fdisk to edit a partition ? anyway, if you configure your partition to be as large as possible, it should just automatically find the end of the data inside the partition. | 05:09 |

| evon | aarcane: i'm in fdsik now | 05:11 |
| aarcane | evon: 1) identify start of disk. 2) if your partition tool creates the partition in the partition table, write down the numbers of the partition (hit p to see) then delete the partition (d) | 05:12 |
| losher | gogeta: despite the firmware thing, I've had good luck with seagates generally... | 05:12 |
| kewlpics | it is the same controller right? not sure about the cable tho.. this is the original drive from gateway.. I hope it is not the cable.. but I guess I can swap them.. What is SMART Data? and how can I check it? | 05:12 |
| losher | !smart | 05:12 |
| aarcane | evon: then create a new partion (n) with the same starting number from the partition you deleted previously, and use the default end (defaults to as big as possible) then try mounting the partition. | 05:12 |
| ubottu | smart is another meta-package manager available for Ubuntu. It's quite stable, uses APT's repositories, can handle mirrors/multiple-connections, and is supposed to make Ubuntu BiArch-compatible. See http://labix.org/smart and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SmartPackageManager | 05:12 |

| Mike_lifeguard | I just copied my ubuntu partitions to a new hard drive. Will having copied /proc and/or /dev cause problems? During boot, init (or whatever) waits for the root partition to become available, but it waits based on uuid (and that uuid isn't valid any more) -- that error message gave me a pointer to 'cat /proc/cmdline' which I guess points to a nonexistent uuid. What does that do and how can I fix it? | 05:21 |

| zelda_ | Hello everyone. | 05:22 |
| losher | RobertX: looks like a python error message, and it's pretty obviously missing a file from the installation. uninstall it, and reinstall using synaptic or apt-get... | 05:22 |
| Mike_lifeguard | When I mount /dev/sda3, there is nothing in /proc at all... so where does that stuff come from when you boot? | 05:23 |
| Warrigal | Mike_lifeguard: /proc doesn't sound like the sort of thing you should copy. /dev might be okay, as long as you copied the files themselves and not their contents. | 05:23 |
| zelda_ | Does anyone here own an HP8510w? | 05:23 |
| Warrigal | Still, it's probably better to copy neither. Try moving all their contents into a backup folder and seeing if that fixes the problem. | 05:23 |
| cabrey | Mike_lifeguard, /proc is a virtual folder created by the kernel for the kernel | 05:23 |
| Warrigal | zelda_: that sounds like a printer capable of connecting to a wireless network. Is it? | 05:24 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Warrigal: I just did a straight cp -r ... so I guess that copied everything? | 05:24 |
| losher | Mike_lifeguard: if I understand it correctly. proc & dev are populated at boot time by various systems, so you don't need to (and shouldn't) preserve them | 05:24 |
| Warrigal | Mike_lifeguard: indeed, that copied everything. And it did copy the file themselves, not their contents. | 05:24 |
| zelda_ | No Its a notebook | 05:24 |
| Mike_lifeguard | k... so there's nothing in /proc until boot, but I do see stuff in /dev | 05:24 |
| zelda_ | Im having issues with the wireless card inside | 05:25 |
| Mike_lifeguard | none of the partitions though | 05:25 |
| zelda_ | Warrigal: its a notebook. Im havin issues with the wireless card | 05:25 |
| Warrigal | Oh. | 05:25 |
| mlissner | Pici: sadly, phatch does a bunch of things, but not time. | 05:25 |

| Warrigal | zelda_: well, if it doesn't recognize the wireless card, you might try using ndiswrapper. | 05:26 |
| thedarkone | hey all i have a ati hd 2400 pro is there a easy way to install drivers? | 05:26 |

| evon | thanks everyone for your help | 05:26 |
| evon | good night | 05:26 |
| Mike_lifeguard | sigh, I wish I could see that error message... | 05:26 |
| zelda_ | Warrigal: thats not the issue, the computer keeps having the wireless device button flashing. it doesnt stay solid. Im wondering if its functioning correctly. | 05:27 |
| RobertX | Warrigal: yes | 05:27 |
| spitzx | guys | 05:27 |
| zelda_ | thats why I was trying to see if someone else had the same notebook. | 05:27 |
| Mike_lifeguard | cabrey: so, /proc/cmdline doesn't get created until boot... where does that come from? Apparently it is being generated wrong. Specifically, it looked like it referred to the uuid of my root partition on my old HD ... should be easy enough to swap in the new uuid or something, except that it doesn't exist until boot :\ | 05:28 |
| zelda_ | oops | 05:28 |
| cabrey | Mike_lifeguard, you would edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, not the kernel fs | 05:29 |
| Warrigal | RobertX: well, try going to Synaptic Package Manager, opening the File menu, clicking "Add downloaded packages", finding your .deb file and opening it, right-clicking the resulting entry, clicking "Mark for Removal", and clicking "Apply". | 05:29 |
| RobertX | Warrigal: I double-clicked on the .deb file I downloaded elsewhere. I did not use Synaptic because I couldn't find it under the list. | 05:29 |
| Mike_lifeguard | cabrey: I did - swapped in the uuid for the new partition where /boot is found | 05:29 |
| Warrigal | Though you didn't use Synaptic to install it, you may be able to use Synaptic to uninstall it. | 05:29 |
| Mike_lifeguard | cabrey: do I need to update grub after doing that or somesuch? | 05:29 |
| losher | RobertX: well, that was a mistake, and this is why we avoid installing manually whenever possible... | 05:30 |
| cabrey | Mike_lifeguard, no it the kernel should be passed the new UUID argument | 05:30 |
| Mike_lifeguard | cabrey: k, well I'll double-check the new uuid is in menu.lst | 05:30 |
| losher | Mike_lifeguard: did you change all references to the old uuid in menu.lst to the new uuid? | 05:30 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I thought so... checking now | 05:31 |
| losher | Mike_lifeguard: also, /etc/fstab may also refer to uuids. If it does, you need to make the same changes in that file too | 05:31 |

| Mike_lifeguard | losher: changed that to /dev/sdax | 05:32 |
| === Z3lda is now known as zelda_ | ||
| Mike_lifeguard | and it looks like menu.lst was indeed updated | 05:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | ah, no, I made a mistake | 05:32 |
| * Mike_lifeguard phew! | 05:32 | |
| losher | Mike_lifeguard: ok, as long as you got them all, it should be fine. Did the swap partition change uuid too? | 05:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | losher: I changed the uuid line, but not the uuid in the root=blah part of the kernel line | 05:34 |
| cabrey | Mike_lifeguard, yea thats what i meant | 05:34 |
| losher | Mike_lifeguard: that would do it.... | 05:34 |

| hello_its_me | am i connected? im a noob | 05:51 |
| cabrey | yes you're here | 05:52 |
| gogeta | hello_its_me nope | 05:52 |
| hello_its_me | i am running ubuntu hardy heron and i cant seem to install flash 10 on firefox :) | 05:52 |
| cabrey | hello_its_me, how did you try to install it? | 05:52 |
| hello_its_me | i tried apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree and ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:52 |
| gogeta | hello_its_me install it from adoe themselfs they have debs | 05:52 |
| cabrey | gogeta, no | 05:52 |
| gogeta | adobe | 05:52 |
| hello_its_me | gogeta i tried that too | 05:52 |
| cabrey | hello_its_me, what is the error, if any? | 05:52 |
| edbian_ | hello_its_me: You have to purge all of the packages related to flash except for the one you want. | 05:53 |
| hello_its_me | no error - youtube just displays the same annoying message that i need to install it | 05:53 |
| hello_its_me | edbian how do i do that? | 05:53 |
| cabrey | hello_its_me, have you restarted FF since you installed it? | 05:53 |
| edbian_ | hello_its_me: (e.g. flash-plugin-free, etc etc) Just search flash and remove everything that isn't "flash-plugin-nonfree" | 05:53 |
| kewlpics | downloading the 2mb .iso | 05:53 |
| losher | tyler_d: did you send me a pointer to age of consent? It says it varies between jurisdictions, which isn't much help... | 05:53 |

| hello_its_me | cabrey yes | 05:54 |

| Myke5161 | Hello Ubuntu | 05:55 |
| linux-is-the-bes | hi all | 05:56 |
| hello_its_me | ok i found one - adobe-flashplugin - im completely removing it now - im leaving ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:56 |
| hello_its_me | hi Myke! | 05:56 |
| MadScientist | anyone know if is there a google translator client for linux? | 05:56 |
| edbian_ | hello_its_me: Sounds good. I'm not sure about ubuntu-restricted. | 05:56 |
| cabrey | google translate is a server based system AFAIK | 05:56 |
| edbian_ | hello_its_me: Try just removing the adobe one first | 05:56 |
| hello_its_me | edbian ok :) | 05:57 |
| mlissner | So I've tried gThumb, F-spot and phatch. Does anybody know how to change the timestamp of a batch of photos? It seems trivial, but those programs either lacked the function, or had serious bugs. | 05:57 |
| MadScientist | aa..ok cabrey, i will investigate more about this | 05:58 |
| cabrey | mlissner, you could try picasa... | 05:58 |
| mlissner | cabrey: I believe it lacks the feature too. My Windows-using friend gave me this task. | 05:58 |
| hello_its_me | edbian: i removed adobe-flashplugin still no go.. should i remove ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:00 |
| gogeta | nissner task? | 06:00 |
| edbian_ | hello_its_me: I would try it. I know that there is a flash-player in the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 06:00 |
| hello_its_me | edbian: its working now | 06:00 |
| mlissner | cabrey: yep, suspicion confirmed here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Picasa/thread?tid=45d6335c1f3b1f8b&hl=en | 06:00 |
| gogeta | missaner task? | 06:00 |
| gogeta | close enough | 06:01 |

| ubottu | gogeta: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:01 |
| edbian_ | hello_its_me: So now if you search "flash" in synaptic only one package is listed as installed correct? (flash-plugin-nonfree)?? | 06:01 |
| gogeta | ever did figure out how ti make irc do names | 06:01 |
| gogeta | lol go figure that easy | 06:01 |
| hello_its_me | yup its working now - im watching that perez hilton guy :) thanks a lot :) | 06:01 |

| brian_ | edbian i i use unetbootin to easly install linux with usb stick | 06:11 |
| \\`oot | Hi everyone... I'm looking for a good GUI-based backup tool (that can back up SMBFS mounts to an external USB disk attached)... | 06:12 |
| edbian_ | g1er: That is a fundamental difference between windows and linux. Logging in as root is a bad idea. In windows you are their version of root all of the time and that is why spyware and viruses can install and run themselves without you knowing. | 06:12 |
| rz187 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtrEN-YKLBM | 06:12 |
| edbian_ | brian_: So why are you trying to run unetbootin again? | 06:12 |
| === mike is now known as Guest45086 | ||
| mavaddat | is there a version of Linux that works? | 06:13 |
| brian_ | edbian so i can try other distros with ease im new to liniux so unetbootin makes it easy to put distros onto usb stick | 06:13 |
| edbian_ | g1er: You should only log in as root temporarily (using sudo or su) and then logout of root. This is the default behavior of ubuntu for a reason :) | 06:13 |
| Fireking300 | Could anyone help me with virtualbox it doesn't seem to being giving my guest OS a network connection. | 06:14 |
| g1er | edbian_: I understand that but su says permission denied, although the pw works elsewhere :/ | 06:14 |
| edbian_ | brian_: You can download unetbootin from the repos. It is much easier to handle software this way. Do you need me to explain how? | 06:14 |
| g1er | is there a "understanding permissions" 101 somehwere? | 06:14 |
| FrozenFire | I'm having an odd issue. My onboard audio is an Intel 82801G, and I cannot for the life of me get my audio recording working. | 06:14 |
| edbian_ | g1er: su is disabled by default in ubuntu. They choose to use sudo instead. I don't know of a good guide off the top of my head. Just google it! | 06:15 |
| unop | g1er, use sudo instead of su.. sudo -i | 06:15 |
| FrozenFire | Whenever I enable "Capture 1," then navigate from the recording tab, it unsets itself. | 06:15 |
| MrEgg964 | g1er: what do you want to know? | 06:15 |
| roman | pls help with ATI sound -- not working | 06:15 |
| brian_ | edbian i tried that but it coulnt find it anywhere on my system | 06:15 |
| g1er | ok, thanks. then I need to launch textedit from terminal while root to create a system file? | 06:16 |
| edbian_ | brian_: You tried to install unetbootin from the repos and couldn't find it? | 06:16 |
| brian_ | edbain i got it thanks for the help anyhow | 06:16 |
| Mike_lifeguard | If you're moving ubuntu to a new hard drive, can you just 'sudo cp -r / /mnt/newroot' then fix GRUB, or is it more involved? | 06:17 |
| unop | g1er, you would use something like this instead. gksudo textedit /path/to/your/newfile | 06:17 |
| g1er | MrEgg964: I need to create a file in /rules.d but when I do in textedit and try to save i get permission denied | 06:17 |
| jasonbourne | can someone help me enable the compiz 3d effects | 06:17 |
| edbian_ | g1er: If you want to alter any of the files outside of your home directory you need to be root yes. | 06:17 |
| edbian_ | g1er: in a terminal type : "sudo textedit" | 06:17 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, that does not preserve permissions | 06:17 |
| \\`oot | Good GUI-based backup tool (simple to use) for Ubuntu? Anyone? (it's for a non-native Linux user) | 06:17 |
| edbian_ | g1er: gksu textedit | 06:17 |
| jigidyjensen | Mike, I am not totally sure, but I think it is more involved | 06:17 |
| unop | edbian_, g1er - use gksu for GUI apps | 06:17 |
| MrEgg964 | In [ALT]+[F2] dialog, type : gksudo gedit | 06:17 |
| Fireking300 | Could anyone help me with virtualbox it doesn't seem to being giving my guest OS a network connection. | 06:17 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop: K, so what other options does cp need for that? | 06:18 |
| MrEgg964 | g1er: that will give you the text editor with root privileges | 06:18 |
| edbian_ | g1er: Sorry, realy quick. Sudo is used for cli root things. The GUI is a little more complicated so they created a separate command to launch GUI things as root (gksu) | 06:18 |
| jasonbourne | I have compiz settings manager but I cant get any 3d effects like cube water effect etc | 06:18 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, -a | 06:18 |
| jigidyjensen | I used a program that can make a copy of a partition. I don't know if the partitions need to be the same size though, let me see if I can find the name of it. | 06:18 |
| edbian_ | g1er: When you start an app using the gnome-panel your user is starting the app. When you start an app using "gksu <nameofapp>" you are starting that app as root. | 06:19 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: You need to turn compiz on before you can change it's settings. Have you seen the compiz check script? | 06:19 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop: and if I'm a sneaky bastard who already did 'cp -r...' and now needs to fix it, is there a way to overwrite? | 06:19 |
| g1er | ok. I think I'm getting it. what's the difference between gksu and gksudo? | 06:20 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: i am a complete linux noob so no I dont know how to check script | 06:20 |
| jigidyjensen | Hey, mike perhaps this might be useful http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page | 06:20 |
| jasonbourne | i have other compiz features running though | 06:20 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: You have compiz turned on? | 06:21 |
| g1er | or su and sudo even, playing around on my phone I notice the same thing. sometimes su somethimes sudo.. | 06:21 |
| Mike_lifeguard | jigidyjensen: Thanks, I used Acronis... but that sucked, and a cp of the root partition was a bit of a last resort | 06:21 |
| * g1er googles | 06:21 | |
| jasonbourne | edbian: i went to System->Pref->Appearance | 06:22 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: Ok, 1stly the compiz-check script is a little program that helps you figure out why compiz cannot run. You don't need it if compiz is running :). Are you using the compiz config settings manager? | 06:22 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, did you run cp as root? | 06:22 |
| jasonbourne | edbian :yes | 06:22 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop: yes | 06:22 |
| edbian_ | g1er: You can set up a system to use both su and sudo. It is not uncommon. Usually a distro picks one or the other. | 06:22 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, you should be ok then | 06:22 |
| jasonbourne | Edbian: also i have that compiz icon thing | 06:23 |
| Mike_lifeguard | huh | 06:23 |
| raylu | jigidyjensen: dd? | 06:23 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, though I would still advise using -a | 06:23 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: You don't need the icon. All that does is help start compiz when you log in (which it does with no problems correct?) | 06:23 |
| jasonbourne | edbian:like i said i have all the features except the 3d effect such as water | 06:23 |
| === vmware is now known as Fireking300 | ||
| jasonbourne | edbian: yes wobbly windows is working fine for instance but the cube desktop isnt working | 06:24 |
| jigidyjensen | Raylu it is a program that can backup a partition. I was thinking that if it was resizable, then you could back it up, then restore it to another hard drive, and then resize it to what ever you wanted. | 06:24 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop: OK, so... when logging in the graphical session lasts less than 10s and a little dialog comes up saying "your session lasted <10s, that's bad" and then says something (I wish I had written it down) about one file being linked to another. I think a symlink didn't get preserved there... would that be a possible problem of not using -a? | 06:24 |
| raylu | Mike_lifeguard: also, shouldn't you be able to just backup your package list and /home and reinstall? | 06:24 |
| Mike_lifeguard | raylu: sure, I could | 06:24 |
| raylu | jigidyjensen: sounds like dd to me | 06:24 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: Open up the compiz config settings manager (CCSM). Each plugin has a checkbox next to it. If the box is checked that plugin is turned on. It is a good idea to turn off the ones you rarely/never use because they waste resources. | 06:24 |
| Mike_lifeguard | actually, I don't have a jaunty CD, but that's easily fixed | 06:25 |
| jigidyjensen | I think it is more compressed | 06:25 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I'd rather just fix this instead | 06:25 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: If you click on one of the plugins it opens up that configuration. Do you know what I'm talking about?? | 06:25 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: yes i did that and i checked the water effect and cube desktop it just doesnt work | 06:25 |
| jasonbourne | edbian" yes | 06:25 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: i just dont know too much about ti | 06:25 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: There is a tab for almost all of the plugins called "key bindings". This tab allows you to change what keyboard buttons (or mouse or screen edges) activate that plugin. | 06:26 |
| raylu | Mike_lifeguard: fix what? | 06:26 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: Be careful though if you assign to plugins the same keybinding CCSM has a fit about it :) | 06:26 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, I would use tar like this. (cd /path/to/src/ && tar cpf - . | cd /path/to/dest/ && tar xf -) | 06:26 |
| jasonbourne | edbian" ok let me check | 06:26 |
| Mike_lifeguard | raylu: the graphical session is broken after copying the partition across :\ | 06:27 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: In the water effect for example there is only 1 tab: general. But you can see that the keyboard initiate is set to something (ctrl + super) probably | 06:27 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop: does that need the brakets? | 06:27 |
| nahy | is anybody there? | 06:27 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, yes | 06:27 |
| edbian_ | nahy: We're here | 06:27 |
| jigidyjensen | I think when you use tar for that you would be wise to not include some directories. You would want to exclude /tmp for example | 06:27 |
| Mike_lifeguard | huh, never seen that before | 06:28 |
| nahy | i'm new to this xchat app. what should i do? | 06:28 |
| raylu | Mike_lifeguard: broken how? | 06:28 |
| Fireking300 | Would anyone please help me with a issue I am having with Sun VirtualBox? | 06:28 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: I see what you are saying let me fiddle with it for a sec see if anything happens | 06:28 |
| nahy | i can't see anyone | 06:28 |
| raylu | nahy: that depends on what you want to do | 06:28 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop, jigidyjensen: Actually, I was going to ask about excluding /proc and/or /dev... necessary or not? | 06:28 |
| raylu | !anybody | Fireking300 | 06:28 |
| ubottu | Fireking300: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:28 |
| nahy | help | 06:28 |
| Mike_lifeguard | raylu: I think a symlink didn't get preserved properly when I made the copy | 06:28 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: There are lot of possible conflicts in CCSM for example cube and desktop wall cannot work at the same time. Also, do you know what the super key is? | 06:28 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, if you are backing up while the system is offline (which i recommend you do) - then you shouldn't have to bother about excluding /proc, /dev, /tmp, etc | 06:29 |
| raylu | Mike_lifeguard: right, but i meant: what is wrong with the graphical session? | 06:29 |
| Mike_lifeguard | raylu: so, it can't set my locale to en_ca, and everything explodes (which is really stupid) | 06:29 |
| Mike_lifeguard | it should have a sensible fallback instead | 06:29 |
| jigidyjensen | I am no expert, I don't know what ones you would want to exclude | 06:29 |
| ubuntunom_ | anyone know about smoothwall? | 06:29 |
| raylu | !anyone | ubuntunom_ | 06:29 |
| ubottu | ubuntunom_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:29 |
| brennus | ok, so in compiz, I enabled all the dekstop cube stuff, but I can | 06:30 |
| jigidyjensen | I just remember remember reading a small warning somewhere | 06:30 |
| edbian_ | brennus: can... ? | 06:30 |
| rz187 | how do i make sound louder? lol | 06:30 |
| raylu | rz187: alsamixer may help you | 06:30 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop: yep, that's what I did | 06:30 |
| brennus | ok, so in compiz, I enabled all the dekstop cube stuff, but I can't figure out how to make it zoom out to the skydome so I can rotate the cube! Instead I can only seem to flip it around, without actually seeing the cube. Does anyone know the command? | 06:30 |
| Fireking300 | Does anyone know how to fix Virtualbox network sharing with the Guest OS? | 06:30 |
| unop | jigidyjensen, I don't see why there'd be a problem | 06:30 |
| jigidyjensen | I think you could run into recursion while backing your whole system with tar | 06:30 |
| rz187 | im just watching youtube vidoes and its quite | 06:30 |

| Cletus | brennus, hold ctrl - alt, then click drag the screen to activate the cube | 06:31 |
| edbian_ | brennus: Do you have CCSM installed? (compiz config settings manager) | 06:31 |
| Mike_lifeguard | brennus: CTRL+ALT+click+drag -- but compiz stuff should perhaps go to #compiz | 06:31 |
| jigidyjensen | Like I think you would need to exclude the directory you are backing up to since it is mounted on the system | 06:31 |
| Mike_lifeguard | brennus: they get lonely over there | 06:31 |
| brennus | lol | 06:31 |
| jigidyjensen | to avoid recursion | 06:32 |
| brennus | no one's there! | 06:32 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: hell yeah i got water effect to work | 06:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | jigidyjensen: somehow that wasn't a problem | 06:32 |
| brennus | edbian: that allows me to move the screen around, but not really what I mean. I want to do that thing where you zoom out and can see the cube in front of you | 06:32 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: :) :) Awesome!! | 06:32 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: it workd thanks man | 06:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | jigidyjensen: didn't do any excludes or anything and it worked (well, not really :D) | 06:32 |
| MrEgg964 | Fireking300: did you activate the network card in Preferences? | 06:33 |
| unop | jigidyjensen, you're assuming too much now - he's doing this offline - so the chances of him having mounted his old root and the destination in the same heirarchy would be somewhat implausible | 06:33 |
| jigidyjensen | Oh, ok | 06:33 |
| edbian_ | brennus: CCSM allows you to change key-bindings (to what you are talking about with the cube) | 06:33 |
| jun | i can not record sound in ubuntu 9.04 | 06:33 |

| MrEgg964 | what's the guest OS? | 06:33 |
| jun | after i enable mic | 06:33 |
| edbian_ | brennus: Also ctrl + alt + clicking mouse button 1 on the desktop is the default to "hold" the cube. | 06:33 |
| Fireking300 | XP | 06:33 |
| MrEgg964 | Fireking300: and what's the host? | 06:34 |
| jun | plz help me | 06:34 |
| Fireking300 | Ubuntu 9.04 | 06:34 |
| edbian_ | brennus: Go to CCSM and go to the rotate cube plugin (make sure it's on) | 06:34 |
| unop | jigidyjensen, also, i wouldn't see it as 'sensible' to backup the system while it is online | 06:35 |
| ubuntunom_ | Is there a firewall for linux that would act as a router same time? I have an option to get a old laptop for free and wondering if it would do the job? | 06:35 |
| MrEgg964 | Fireking300: what's the name of the network card shared in Preferences? | 06:35 |
| iaindalton | Is it safe to replace an Ubuntu 9.04 library with the 9.10 version so I can install an app from 9.10 that depends on it? | 06:35 |
| Mike_lifeguard | iaindalton: probably | 06:35 |
| brennus | edbian: Yea, I've been playing with that. I just can't figure out which value to edit to get the zoom-out thing. Maybe I just don't know what it's called. | 06:35 |
| jigidyjensen | It can be done though, but you are right, it wouldn't be the best way, especially if things are changing fast on the system :) | 06:35 |
| Fireking300 | Do you mean in ubuntu or in Virtualbox? In Ubuntu it says eth0 | 06:35 |
| edbian_ | ubuntunom_: YES. It's called iptables. Core to the kernel and highly configurable. A real beast to set up though. Google it! | 06:35 |
| unop | iaindalton, that's not recommended - you can end up with a broken system | 06:35 |
| rww | iaindalton: considering that Ubuntu 9.10 isn't stable yet, and isn't supported by #ubuntu, that's probably not a particularly good idea. | 06:36 |
| edbian_ | brennus: In the rotate cube plugin. Under the bindings tab. "Initiate" | 06:36 |
| Fireking300 | MrEgg964 I found something https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBoxNetworking but I get some issues with doing that. | 06:36 |
| ubuntunom_ | edbian_: does iptables work as a router as well? | 06:36 |
| MrEgg964 | Fireking300: no, I mean in VB Preferences | 06:36 |
| Mike_lifeguard | iaindalton: oh, have an adventure, what's the worst that can happen? (sure, it could go wrong, but then you just revert) | 06:36 |
| unop | jigidyjensen, it's not just that - tar (or whatever else) would probably get stuck processing /dev/random :) | 06:36 |
| iaindalton | I'm trying to install Gnumeric 1.9.9, and I either have the option of compiling the new library and gnumeric and placing them somewhere unusual, or the above solution | 06:37 |
| brennus | edbian: yes, I can do that. Hmm... I only have two desktops. Could this be the problem? I currently just get a flat, double-sided pane when I do what you're talking about | 06:37 |
| unop | Mike_lifeguard, no, don't recommend that | 06:37 |
| edbian_ | ubuntunom_: Yes, You need to create the NAT rule though. It is tricky but it is probably the most common thing iptables is used for. | 06:37 |
| jasonbourne | can anyone help me install OpenVPN or recommend a better program | 06:37 |
| edbian_ | brennus: Yeah you need 4 lol. 2 sides doesn't make a cube now does it brennus :) | 06:37 |
| unop | iaindalton, you can backport the version from karmic to jaunty | 06:37 |
| unop | !prevu | iaindalton | 06:37 |
| ubottu | iaindalton: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details | 06:37 |
| edbian_ | ubuntunom_: NAT = Network Address Translation (a router) | 06:38 |
| brennus | edbian: lol. thank you for bearing with me | 06:38 |
| Fireking300 | MrEgg964: It is set to PCNet-Fast III (Am79C973) and attached to NAT | 06:38 |
| jasonbourne | it says to ./compile, make, make install and the file is a tar.gz | 06:38 |
| edbian_ | brennus: NP. Did you get it to work?? | 06:38 |
| ubuntunom_ | edbian_: any ready made easy to setup distros out there? | 06:38 |
| edbian_ | ubuntunom_: I'm sure there are. I don't know of any off the top of my head. | 06:38 |
| MrEgg964 | Fireking300: that looks good. Only Card 1 is activated ? | 06:38 |
| Mike_lifeguard | unop: Thanks a lot for your help.. but I'm going to reinstall jaunty (using ext4) - easier ... downloading the iso now. | 06:39 |
| marcus | Hello, Compiz made my window bars go away how do I get them back? | 06:39 |
| Fireking300 | Yes | 06:39 |
| unop | jasonbourne, openvpn is available in the repositories - so why are you compiling it from source? | 06:39 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| jigidyjensen | Good Luck | 06:39 |
| unop | !info openvpn | 06:39 |
| ubottu | openvpn (source: openvpn): virtual private network daemon. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 397 kB, installed size 1168 kB | 06:39 |
| edbian_ | ubuntunom_: Perhaps this is helpful: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5826 | 06:39 |
| jasonbourne | unop: i am a complete linux newbie | 06:39 |
| jasonbourne | unop: i just installed it today | 06:40 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: It becomes addictive. ;) | 06:40 |
| Mike_lifeguard | jasonbourne: all the more reason to use the repositories instead of compiling :D | 06:40 |
| unop | jasonbourne, ahh well, use the package manager - you can install it there | 06:40 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: The package manager is a dream you will discover :) | 06:40 |
| MrEgg964 | Fireking300: OK, I have those settings as well and it works fine here. What does XP say? | 06:40 |
| Mike_lifeguard | jasonbourne: the repos let you install things easily with 'sudo apt-get install packagename' instead of futzing with compiling | 06:40 |
| Mike_lifeguard | jasonbourne: or you can use synaptic (if you like GUI) | 06:41 |
| Fireking300 | It just says I have no network device connected. | 06:41 |
| iaindalton | unop: whoah; looks nice *and* simple. that's unusual :-) | 06:41 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: It also keeps track of updates for all of the software on the entire system. | 06:41 |
| jasonbourne | ok so i should go sudo apt-get install OpenVPN | 06:41 |
| Mike_lifeguard | jasonbourne: yes, but it'll be all lowercase | 06:41 |
| jasonbourne | mike_lifeguard: ok | 06:41 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: good :) | 06:41 |
| jasonbourne | ok let me do that | 06:42 |

| ice_cream | and/or dont mind playing games in a vm =P | 06:44 |
| jasonbourne | now i only have to configure about 15 server locations lol | 06:44 |
| magnetron | jasonbourne: all the packages you install with the package manager will be automatically updated for bugfixes and security patches | 06:44 |
| felix_ | a dreamweaver equivalent in free software? just visual/code editor at same time | 06:44 |
| jasonbourne | magnetron: awesome | 06:44 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: Also you can type :sudo apt-get install open[tab][tab] | 06:44 |

| jasonbourne | i have used the distro called backtrack4 for pentesting my wifi connection | 06:45 |
| jasonbourne | so i learned some of the very basics | 06:45 |

| q0_0p | why can't i add sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 11231 ? | 06:46 |
| jasonbourne | man this is taking a while to dl lol | 06:46 |
| shunobies | Is there a bugs channel? | 06:46 |
| ice_cream | magnetron, hm, i still have those down as 'sudo aptitude safe-upgrade' and 'sudo aptitude full-upgrade' (though often the results are the same) | 06:46 |

| laymansnerd | i have a question | 06:53 |
| shunobies | Any suggestions? | 06:53 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: no | 06:53 |

| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: yeah well that's the latest, so that's good too. | 06:53 |
| jasonbourne | so just type ap name in terminal | 06:53 |
| infidel2s | is us.archive.ubuntu.com down? | 06:54 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: Every (pretty much every anyway) app has a manual. You can view it by typing "man <application>" in a terminal (and press q to exit the man page). They are very useful | 06:54 |
| laymansnerd | ok, i'm not sure what distro i saw this in...but in the right click context menu the 'Create Folder' icon is larger than the rest of the icons...anyone know how to change it? | 06:54 |
| laymansnerd | in jaunty | 06:54 |
| rww | infidel2s: no | 06:54 |
| jasonbourne | edbian: ok cool | 06:54 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: yeah "appname" in a terminal usually starts them. Sometimes it is tricky to learn the name which is why man comes in handy. | 06:54 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: usually the package name is the application name but not always. | 06:55 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: did you run into any problem as you installed XP? | 06:55 |
| edbian_ | jasonbourne: Also [tab][tab] is handy :) | 06:55 |
| fireking3000 | Nope | 06:55 |

| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: have you tried installing another guest - a linux distro - to see whether you had the same kind of issue? | 06:56 |

| lobf | you copy, iaindalton | 07:03 |
| lobf | ? | 07:03 |
| boopiedoo | infidel2 sudo apt-get update | 07:04 |
| fireking3000 | o... I replaced iface | 07:04 |
| k1en | hi , i just changed my dns server in resolv.conf - do i need to reboot ?/ | 07:04 |
| fireking3000 | not IFACE | 07:04 |
| iaindalton | lobf: I'll take a look at it | 07:04 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: ok, so you want to try that again then | 07:04 |
| fireking3000 | Yeah | 07:04 |
| fireking3000 | brb | 07:04 |
| lobf | thanks man | 07:04 |
| Alex_21 | Hi, all, | 07:04 |
| Alex_21 | I can't figure out why php5 is not working on my server. It downloads the files rather than run them | 07:04 |
| lobf | it says type poweriso -? for more info | 07:05 |
| marcus | Compiz messes up my virtual desktops. Any way to get them to work right? Or should I ask in compiz? | 07:05 |
| lobf | but type it into what?? | 07:05 |
| Travo18 | ok well i go through the installation it starts comes up with a loading screen and then goes through with some text writing checking if things are ok and then all of a sudden my screens blacks out and come up and says out of range. | 07:05 |
| infidel2s | boopiedoo i just ran that and it says 'W: failed to fetch ... could nto resolve' every site it showed | 07:05 |
| Travo18 | i dont think it is anything to do with the installation because it seems more like a monitor issue | 07:05 |
| Alex_21 | Can anyone help? Please | 07:05 |
| k1en | Alex_21, i assume its permission problem | 07:06 |
| boopiedoo | infidel2s could you pastebin your etc/apt/sources.list? | 07:06 |
| k1en | Alex_21, how did you install php? | 07:06 |
| Alex_21 | Sudo apt-get install php5 libapache-mod-php5 | 07:06 |
| The_Warlock | how can i get lucida console font for ubuntu? | 07:06 |
| iaindalton | lobf: put it in /usr/local/bin (see http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/MandrakeLinux/101/en/Command-Line.html/fhs-usr.html) | 07:06 |
| boopiedoo | The_Warlock, if i am not mistaken that is a microsoft font | 07:07 |
| boopiedoo | The_Warlock, so you have to install msttcorefonts | 07:07 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: does it say that a particular thing is out of range? | 07:08 |
| iaindalton | lobf: http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/MandrakeLinux/101/en/Command-Line.html/index.html is what I would consider the best general introduction to Linux, though it's a long read (but bookmark it and you can browse relevant topics at your leisure) | 07:08 |
| Warrigal | That sure sounds like a bug of some sort. | 07:08 |
| lobf | thanks dude | 07:08 |
| Travo18 | no it comes up in a box like your contrast and all that comes up in and just says out of range | 07:08 |
| The_Warlock | boopiedoo: its not provided with mstcorefonts | 07:08 |
| iaindalton | lobf: it has some Mandrake/Mandriva-specific stuff, but most of it is universal. | 07:08 |
| lobf | okay | 07:08 |
| iaindalton | lobf: have you used a command line before? that's where you type poweriso -? | 07:08 |
| lobf | once the file is there, what? | 07:08 |
| lobf | add/remove programs? | 07:09 |
| zaidka | can someone help me? my os is not very responsive and it stutters alot with xorg taking a big chunk of the cpu.. any idea? | 07:09 |
| lobf | i've used a DOS command line... | 07:09 |
| iaindalton | lobf: putting it in /usr/local/bin is manually installing it so you're bypassing the add/remove thing | 07:09 |
| boopiedoo | The_Warlock http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590796 | 07:09 |
| lobf | okay | 07:09 |
| lobf | do i put the tar.gz file in there? | 07:09 |
| boopiedoo | !msttcorefonts | The_Warlock | 07:09 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: so it sounds like it's the monitor telling you this, not the computer itself. | 07:09 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about msttcorefonts | 07:09 |
| lobf | or the file inside of it? | 07:09 |
| iaindalton | lobf: if you've used DOS you should be able to find your way around the linux command line too; it works basically the same | 07:10 |
| infidel2s | boopiedoo oh duh, it's because i'm not connected to the internet. i'm using virtualbox and linux usually automatically connects to the internet, dunno why it's not or how to get it to | 07:10 |
| lobf | okay | 07:10 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: perhaps you could try using a different monitor? Does the "out of range" message look the same on this monitor, or different? | 07:10 |
| lobf | did you see my previous question? | 07:10 |
| iaindalton | lobf: my bad, forgot to tell you, .tar.gz is a common linux compression format, like .zip in Windows and .sit in Mac | 07:10 |
| Travo18 | yes that is what i thought but i dont know why it would be doing this | 07:10 |
| lobf | oh, okay | 07:10 |
| boopiedoo | infidel2s i see, sorry i dunno much about virtualbox | 07:10 |
| iaindalton | lobf: so download the .tar.gz, right-click, extract, then put the extracted file in /usr/local/bin | 07:11 |

| chaseee | nuts | 07:13 |
| chaseee | test | 07:13 |
| chaseee | works | 07:13 |
| iaindalton | lobf: change directory (the command is cd, like in DOS) to wherever you've saved poweriso (maybe ~/Desktop, which is your desktop folder) | 07:13 |
| Travo18 | ok does anybody know if its possible to install onto a hard drive via another computer | 07:13 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: how far can you get before the "out of range" message appears? | 07:13 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: how many network connections do you have on your system? | 07:13 |
| lobf | yup | 07:13 |
| boopiedoo | Travo18 like in a network? | 07:13 |
| fireking3000 | 1 | 07:13 |
| boopiedoo | 2 | 07:13 |
| lobf | iaindalton: that's where the directory is at | 07:14 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: just eth0, wired? | 07:14 |
| fireking3000 | Yes | 07:14 |
| === jabagawe` is now known as jabagawee | ||
| iaindalton | lobf: the directory? you want the actual program file, so cd to wherever that is | 07:14 |
| lobf | oh, okay | 07:14 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: i will try it again and get back to you | 07:15 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: it seems to be a problem with the computer's video settings; if it's possible to set those before the "out of range" message appears, you should be okay. | 07:15 |
| lobf | cd desktop\poweriso ? | 07:15 |
| lobf | like that? | 07:15 |
| iaindalton | lobf: use a / instead of a \ | 07:15 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: i'm googling for your dnsmasq error | 07:15 |
| fireking3000 | ok ill do the same | 07:16 |
| iaindalton | lobf: like in a web address or on a Mac | 07:16 |
| lobf | okay | 07:16 |
| iaindalton | lobf: Windows is just contrary ;-) | 07:16 |
| iaindalton | lobf: then type the command: sudo mv poweriso /usr/local/bin | 07:16 |
| iaindalton | sudo runs the command with administrative priveleges, mv is the move command, poweriso the name of the file, /usr/local/bin the destination | 07:16 |
| lobf | heh | 07:16 |
| lobf | i'm not thre yet | 07:17 |
| Travo18 | oh ok so its to do with video? | 07:17 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2005q4/000475.html | 07:17 |
| lobf | should i be typing something like cd desktop/poweriso? | 07:17 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: it loads the kernel fine | 07:17 |
| iaindalton | lobf: you need to capitalize Desktop most likely; most Linux filesystems are case-sensitive. otherwise, yes. | 07:17 |
| lobf | or something like cd home/nick/desktop/poweriso? | 07:17 |
| lobf | oh | 07:17 |
| lobf | okaty | 07:17 |
| Travo18 | warrigal:and then goes through the loading screen with the orange bar going backwards and forwards | 07:18 |
| iaindalton | lobf: if you just opened the terminal, it starts you in your home folder so you only need Desktop/poweriso | 07:18 |
| lobf | oh | 07:18 |
| lobf | "Not a directory" | 07:18 |
| lobf | oh | 07:18 |
| lobf | i need a file extension maybe? | 07:18 |
| iaindalton | type ls (list files) to see if there is a Desktop folder | 07:19 |
| lobf | ah ha! | 07:19 |
| lobf | I got it! | 07:19 |
| Travo18 | warrigal:i have read that some people have experienced the same thing but it has worked to install it through safe graphics mode | 07:20 |
| fireking3000 | MrEgg964: Where do I add "bind-interfaces" to inside that .conf file? | 07:20 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: that's what I'm looking at | 07:20 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: http://oss.segetech.com/intra/srv/dnsmasq.conf | 07:21 |
| lobf | lost it | 07:21 |
| fireking3000 | Replace mine with that? | 07:21 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: its now at a loading please wait but has come up with information on running commands??? | 07:21 |
| lobf | iaindalton: mv: cannot stat `poweriso': No such file or directory | 07:21 |
| iaindalton | lobf: what directory are you in? | 07:22 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: no. Can you pastbin yours? | 07:22 |
| lobf | Desktop/poweriso | 07:22 |
| fireking3000 | yeah | 07:22 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: perhaps you can use safe graphics mode, then, if that's possible. | 07:22 |
| iaindalton | lobf: (the pwd command will tell you) | 07:22 |
| fireking3000 | one sec | 07:22 |
| lobf | the poweriso script came up | 07:22 |
| iaindalton | lobf: what's the ls command show? | 07:22 |
| lobf | home/nick | 07:22 |
| marcus | Compiz messes up my virtual desktops. Any way to get them to work right? Or should I ask in compiz? | 07:22 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: anyway, can you try to give me a better idea of where you are in the installation by telling me the major steps you've taken so far? | 07:23 |
| lobf | ls? | 07:23 |
| lobf | Desktop examples.desktop Pictures Templates | 07:23 |
| lobf | Documents Music Public Videos | 07:23 |
| iaindalton | lobf: like DOS's "dir" | 07:23 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: ok so i have the cd to install i insert the cd | 07:23 |
| * Warrigal nods | 07:23 | |
| lobf | like that? | 07:23 |
| iaindalton | lobf: you're still in your home directory, not the poweriso directory | 07:23 |
| lobf | hm | 07:23 |
| Travo18 | it loads up and comes up to the splash screen asking options of what you want to do | 07:23 |
| iaindalton | lobf: type cd Desktop | 07:23 |
| lobf | when i type poweriso -? the help stuff comes up | 07:24 |
| iaindalton | lobf: oh, then you already moved it to /usr/local/bin? | 07:24 |
| lobf | okay | 07:24 |
| lobf | no | 07:24 |
| Travo18 | i chose the first option which is start or install ubuntu | 07:24 |
| lobf | it doesn't | 07:24 |
| lobf | I typed cd Desktop | 07:24 |
| swoody | Is there any way to extend a partition while it's mounted? | 07:24 |
| fireking3000 | MrEgg964: http://pastebin.com/m1adfe900 | 07:24 |
| iaindalton | ok, ls again and tell me if there's a poweriso folder | 07:24 |
| lobf | now my directory reads differently | 07:24 |
| lobf | i'm at my desktop | 07:24 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: i chose the first option which is start or install ubuntu | 07:25 |
| lobf | yes! | 07:25 |
| iaindalton | ok, cd to that | 07:25 |
| gogeta | lobf lol | 07:25 |
| lobf | :D | 07:25 |
| gogeta | lobf: fail | 07:25 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: it then says that it loads the linux kernel | 07:25 |
| lobf | hmmm. the tar.gz file is listed in ls, but not the executable | 07:26 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: try uncommenting line 103 | 07:26 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: now it is on another splash screen with Ubuntu and a loading bar | 07:26 |
| lobf | if i can move the compressed file, though, then i can extract it, right? | 07:26 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: can you also pastbin the result of : sudo iptables --list | 07:26 |
| lobf | good one, gogeta | 07:26 |
| iaindalton | lobf: didn't you already extract it? | 07:26 |
| gogeta | lobf: LOL its like a zip file tar -zxf file.tar.gz | 07:26 |
| lobf | yeah, i did | 07:26 |
| fireking3000 | kk 1sec | 07:26 |
| iaindalton | lobf: where to? | 07:26 |
| lobf | desktop | 07:26 |
| gogeta | lobf: you can also tab the filename | 07:26 |
| lobf | wait | 07:27 |
| lobf | i think i deleted it and forgot... my bad | 07:27 |
| iaindalton | ok so the program file is on your desktop or a folder? | 07:27 |
| lobf | hold on | 07:27 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: sounds like you're getting close. | 07:27 |
| iaindalton | ok | 07:27 |
| gogeta | lobf: you can also rightclick and hit extract hear | 07:27 |
| lobf | okay, so now i see it in ls | 07:27 |
| lobf | poweriso | 07:27 |
| lobf | i just type cd poweriso? | 07:28 |
| iaindalton | yes | 07:28 |
| gogeta | yep | 07:28 |
| lobf | not a directory... | 07:28 |
| gogeta | lobf: i bet you a new linux user :) | 07:28 |
| lobf | dude | 07:28 |
| lobf | like, 10 minutes | 07:28 |
| iaindalton | lobf: are you sure it's a folder? does it have a folder icon when you look at your desktop? | 07:28 |
| gogeta | not a dir maybe its a script is it green | 07:28 |
| fireking3000 | MrEgg964: http://pastebin.com/m2aea7c44 | 07:29 |
| lobf | yeah, it's bright green | 07:29 |
| Warrigal | While I'm here, is it possible to set the system to be muted upon startup? | 07:29 |
| lobf | poweriso is bright green | 07:29 |
| fireking3000 | I also commented out line 103 | 07:29 |
| ManuJS | Me voy, hasta otra | 07:29 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: it finishes loading on that screen and then it comes up with text checking different things and saying ok to like like running | 07:29 |
| iaindalton | lobf: that's the program. you want to install it system-wide by typeing sudo mv poweriso /usr/local/bin | 07:29 |
| * Warrigal nods | 07:29 | |
| Travo18 | warrigal: and then straight after that is when it bombs out and come up with the out of range screen | 07:29 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: ok, so now try to restart your network | 07:30 |
| Ee_oO | hi, this is a snapshot of fvwm-crystal from the internet. http://www.linux.org/dist/reviews/images/fvwm-crystal.png i installed it on my unbuntu 9.04 by 'sudo apt-get install fvwm-crystal'. the problem is , at the left top of the desktop, where the main start menu shows up, there should be a 'quick start' menu, which holds firefox, pidgin, vim and something like that but, they never show up on my desktop, did i miss anything ? | 07:30 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: I see. | 07:30 |
| lobf | iaindalton: mv: cannot stat `poweriso': No such file or directory | 07:30 |
| lobf | wait | 07:30 |
| lobf | dammit | 07:30 |
| gogeta | lobf: then just type poweriso | 07:30 |
| lobf | it deleted it | 07:30 |
| fireking3000 | k just did | 07:30 |
| lobf | fucking ubuntu deleted it | 07:30 |
| fireking3000 | Same error | 07:30 |
| iaindalton | lobf: Now I'm confused | 07:30 |
| fireking3000 | dnsmasq: failed to bind listening socket for fe80::e867:ceff:fed5:76f: Address already in use | 07:30 |

| lobf | me too | 07:31 |
| Seito | hi! can anyone tell me how to replace one part of binary file (say first bytes) with the data from second file? | 07:31 |
| lobf | hold on | 07:31 |
| iaindalton | lobf: maybe it moved, not deleted, it? | 07:31 |
| gogeta | lobf: mv moves the file go to where you moved it | 07:31 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: so what is your ideas? | 07:31 |
| lobf | oh man | 07:31 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: I think we can figure out how to use safe graphics mode. | 07:31 |
| iaindalton | lobf, type stat /usr/local/bin/poweriso | 07:31 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: ok so i will start that up and get back to you | 07:31 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: reboot, so that you go back to the menu you start off at. | 07:31 |
| iaindalton | if it gives you a bunch of guacamole, instead of an error, you've successfully moved it | 07:31 |
| Warrigal | Tell me what the menu items are. | 07:31 |
| lobf | it went! | 07:31 |
| nnookk | hello | 07:32 |
| gogeta | yay | 07:32 |
| unkmar | hexer | 07:32 |
| lobf | I was expecting a confirmation for some reason | 07:32 |
| boopiedoo | hello | 07:32 |
| lobf | when i typed the command it just did it and i didn't notice | 07:32 |
| gogeta | lobf: this isnt vista lol | 07:32 |
| iaindalton | lobf: many commands don't. to be fair, DOS wouldn't either | 07:32 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: well, I don't know. | 07:32 |
| fireking3000 | MrEgg964 I am about to try out Puppy Linux | 07:32 |
| lobf | right | 07:32 |
| lobf | which is why it is silly to expect it | 07:32 |
| lobf | *shrug* | 07:32 |
| iaindalton | lobf, so now you have poweriso installed | 07:32 |
| gogeta | fireking3000: why puppy | 07:33 |
| iaindalton | you can run it by typing poweriso | 07:33 |
| lobf | I've been using diskpart a lot for the last few days and it tells you whenever anything happens | 07:33 |
| lobf | so how do i run it? | 07:33 |
| fireking3000 | Something real quick to download | 07:33 |
| iaindalton | to view its help, type poweriso -? | 07:33 |
| gogeta | heh | 07:33 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: option one is start or install ubuntu | 07:33 |
| fireking3000 | I wanted to see if the error was only related to windows and not virtualbox | 07:33 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: option two is start ubuntu in safe graphics mode | 07:33 |
| iaindalton | clearly a mixed metaphor. on windows, it would be /?. on linux, it should be -h. | 07:33 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: you may want to undo the changes you applied to your network, though. | 07:34 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: option three is install with driver update cd | 07:34 |
| net | i need some help regarding reconstructor for ubuntu intrepid ibex | 07:34 |
| gogeta | Travo18: what you tryin to do | 07:34 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: try the second option, safe graphics mode. | 07:34 |
| lobf | hey iaindalton, thanks for all the help moving it | 07:34 |
| lobf | but how do i run it now? | 07:34 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: option four is OEM install ( for manufacturers) | 07:34 |
| iaindalton | lobf: just type poweriso f, where f is a filename | 07:34 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: go ahead and try the safe graphics mode option. | 07:35 |
| nnookk | Somehow, alternate install iso doesn't work for me. I'm booting from a usb key, and in the course of installation it either tries to get on the network (and fails, not even asking me for interface and WEP details), or tries to find cdrom, and I don't have any. I simply want to install packages that are on the usb key already. I've got an additional copy of the very same installation .iso on both windows partition and on the usb key, just in | 07:35 |
| fireking3000 | k but I'll keep on trying to see if I can get it done. | 07:35 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: um ok so it is loading the kernel for that and is now at the same sort of loading screen as before | 07:35 |
| iaindalton | lobf: for example, poweriso Desktop/foo.iso | 07:35 |
| lobf | I have to use a terminal to operate poweriso? | 07:35 |
| nnookk | There is no ifconfig and netcgf doesn't do anything remotely useful | 07:35 |
| iaindalton | lobf: yes; their linux version is bare-bones | 07:35 |
| gogeta | lobf i beleve so its not a gui app is it | 07:35 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: Are you trying to mount an iso (in linux)? | 07:35 |
| lobf | yeah | 07:36 |
| lobf | just trying to mount | 07:36 |
| mobi-sheep | !iso | lobf | 07:36 |
| ubottu | lobf: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:36 |
| lobf | *sigh* | 07:36 |
| gogeta | lol | 07:36 |
| nnookk | So, any advice on alternate install on a netbook? | 07:37 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: "mkdir ~/Oven && sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/my-image.iso ~/Oven" | 07:37 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: gotta go. | 07:37 |
| lobf | wtf | 07:37 |
| MrEgg964 | fireking3000: good luck | 07:37 |
| lobf | i don't want to use command lines on a regular basis... is this still what linux is about? | 07:37 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: Just change ~/Desktop/my-image.iso to the path your iso is on. Have fun. | 07:37 |
| lobf | ^^^^ | 07:38 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: There are GUI for it. Let me find it. | 07:38 |
| lobf | thanks | 07:38 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: ok so it has finished loading and comes up checking things and says running boot scripts | 07:38 |
| gogeta | mobi-sheep: would apt-get save him alot of work | 07:39 |
| iaindalton | I have something called Archive Mounter. Not sure what you have to install to have it, but it works just like the Mac OS X .dmg mounter | 07:39 |
| Seito | guys! please! I have two binary files. I need 512 bytes from the first file being replaced with 512 bytes from another file. how can I do this? | 07:39 |
| fireking3000 | Well PuppyLinux didn't work so I guess it is Ubuntu and VirtualBox errors. | 07:39 |
| mobi-sheep | gogeta: If he want the GUI front-end, sure. | 07:39 |
| gogeta | mobi-sheep: new user id say so | 07:39 |
| iaindalton | lobf: the reason I had you go to the command line was because you had to be administrator to move that file. Most things you can do with the GUI | 07:39 |
| lobf | okay, i mean how do i run poweriso with a GUI? | 07:40 |
| iaindalton | lobf: only the Windows version has a GUI. You can either use one of several methods of running a Windows program, or you can use a Linux program that does the same thing as Poweriso | 07:40 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: sudo aptitude install gmountiso --> It'll show up under Application --> System. | 07:40 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: ok sorry i had a fuse trip on me and my computer got knocked out i have started again | 07:41 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: hopefully, this will work like the installation before, except you won't get that "Out of range" thing. | 07:41 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: That will install GUI Mount ISO so you don't have to work with terminal. But I say terminal is more fun. | 07:41 |
| iaindalton | lobf: before you install that, do this: right-click on an ISO and see if you can open it with a program called "Archive Mounter" | 07:41 |
| iaindalton | if you have it, don't bother installing gmountiso. | 07:42 |
| lobf | hahahaha | 07:42 |
| lobf | archive mounter works fine | 07:42 |
| lobf | jesus christ | 07:42 |
| mobi-sheep | iaindalton: Oh that is excellent solution. I see that all times but I never realized it. ;3 | 07:42 |
| hellochina | errr | 07:42 |
| lobf | wait | 07:43 |
| lobf | not exactly | 07:43 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: nope it comes up with the same out of range as before | 07:43 |
| lobf | hey | 07:43 |
| lobf | what is a mount point? | 07:43 |
| lobf | what is that asking me? | 07:43 |
| iaindalton | what's it say? | 07:43 |
| lobf | in gmount | 07:43 |
| lobf | it asks for my iso | 07:43 |
| lobf | and for a mount point | 07:43 |
| Mike_lifeguard | lobf: the mount point is where in the filesystem hierarchy you want it to appear | 07:44 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: Mount point is a path where you want to put the iso in. Linux work in a single tree while Windows have their own C, D, E, G, J, etc. | 07:44 |
| iaindalton | lobf: don't use gmount, it's not as nice as archive mounter | 07:44 |
| Mike_lifeguard | !mount | 07:44 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 07:44 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: ooh, that's not good. | 07:44 |
| Warrigal | And this is when you boot using safe graphics mode? | 07:45 |
| lobf | so I have to make a folder? | 07:45 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: yeh | 07:45 |
| iaindalton | lobf: if you use archive mounter it does it for you | 07:45 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: Make a folder "Oven" on Desktop and point to that. It'll show up under Oven. | 07:45 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: Otherwise, stick with Archive Mounter. It's automated. | 07:46 |
| lobf | error | 07:46 |
| Warrigal | Travo18: well, I don't think I can help you, unless you find another monitor or something. | 07:46 |
| lobf | archive mounter doesn't do anything | 07:46 |
| lobf | i thought it had | 07:46 |
| lobf | but it hadn't | 07:46 |
| Warrigal | Let me recap your problem to the channel so that hopefully someone else can help. | 07:46 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: is there anyway to install on my PC via my laptop?? | 07:47 |
| mobi-sheep | lobf: It didn't show up on Desktop? | 07:47 |
| iaindalton | lobf: after opening it with archive mounter, does a disk show up on your desktop or in the places menu? | 07:47 |
| * boopiedoo says give a man ubuntu and he will learn ubuntu. give a man slackware and he will learn linux | 07:47 | |
| Warrigal | So, everyone, Travo18 is attempting to install Ubuntu, but before he gets to the point where X is loaded and he can see the install window, his monitor gives an "Out of range" error. | 07:47 |
| lobf | i think i might have a scratched disk, as I'm getting an I/O error | 07:48 |
| Warrigal | He's tried running the installation in safe graphics mode, but the same thing happens. | 07:48 |
| Warrigal | This is as much as I've figured out. | 07:48 |
| iaindalton | lobf: which program are you using now? | 07:48 |
| lobf | archive mounter | 07:48 |
| === shunobies is now known as shunobies_away | ||
| * shunobies_away is away: Gone away for now | 07:48 | |
| Warrigal | Travo18: that sounds likely, but I myself don't know how to do it; there's a good chance someone else does. | 07:48 |
| Warrigal | Good luck! | 07:49 |
| lobf | just trying to get the file off the dvd and onto my desktop first | 07:49 |
| iaindalton | I thought nothing happened. Now it's giving an error? Maybe your downloaded ISO is corrupt, but that wouldn't explain the sporadicity | 07:49 |
| lobf | bam | 07:49 |
| lobf | got it | 07:49 |
| lobf | archive mounter | 07:49 |
| lobf | you guys kick ass | 07:49 |
| lobf | now i need to get fallout 2 running on this thing | 07:49 |
| Mike_lifeguard | shunobies_away: kill the away message | 07:50 |
| iaindalton | lobf: sorry you've had such a bumpy start. fallout 2 sounds even bumpier :-| | 07:50 |
| lobf | heh | 07:50 |
| lobf | with wine? | 07:50 |
| iaindalton | it's so old, does it even run in vista? | 07:50 |
| lobf | i figured an old game like thta might be okay | 07:50 |
| Travo18 | warrigal: ahh if i was to create a partition on my laptop of ubuntu and then ghost that image to the drive in my pc do you reckon that that would then be able to load?? does ubuntu run the same way as windows? it just looks for particular files to boot? | 07:50 |
| lobf | i think it runs in vista | 07:50 |
| lobf | pretty sure | 07:50 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: Try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 07:50 |
| dsdeiz | there's a deb file already for google chrome? | 07:51 |
| Travo18 | where am i typing this?? | 07:51 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Travo18: Yes, you can copy the partitions over -- but there is some trick to it that I messed up and now I'm reinstalling | 07:51 |
| iaindalton | lobf: once wine's installed, look here: http://www.winehq.org/search?cx=partner-pub-0971840239976722%3Aw9sqbcsxtyf&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=fallout+2#933 | 07:51 |
| Travo18 | mobi-sheep: where am i typing this?? | 07:51 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Travo18: Make sure you grab someone who can help you do it right. But yes, if you copy the filesystem, then all you need to do is update /boot/grub/menu.lst, fix GRUB itself, and fix /etc/fstab (or maybe more?) | 07:52 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: In TTY. | 07:52 |
| mobi-sheep | !tty | Travo18 | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Travo18: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 07:52 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: Remember -- IMPORTANT -- CTRL + ALT + F7. | 07:52 |
| iaindalton | lobf: it gets platinum rating, so it should work | 07:52 |
| Travo18 | mobi-sheep: so do i type this in all or one of these or what | 07:53 |
| Warrigal | mobi-sheep: so Travo18 can do the install like he's been doing, and then when the monitor displays "out of range", type ctrl + alt + F7? | 07:54 |
| Warrigal | Er. | 07:54 |
| Warrigal | Type ctrl + alt + F1 when that happens, and when he's doing with that, ctrl + alt + F7? | 07:54 |
| dethray | whats a good frontend for lame when you're batch converting flac to mp3? | 07:54 |

| gogeta | dethray: mencoder ffmeg | 07:55 |
| dethray | Thanx | 07:55 |
| gogeta | ffmpeg | 07:55 |
| mobi-sheep | Warrigal: Yes. CTRL + ALT + (F1-F6) to get any tty terminal. Run the command. CTRL + ALT + F7 will return back to graphical X. | 07:55 |
| gogeta | dethray: there text lol | 07:55 |
| gogeta | fast thow | 07:55 |
| Travo18 | mobi-sheep: how do i know that it has run?? | 07:56 |
| Boohbah | gogeta, dethray: mencoder and ffmpeg are video encoders, not lame frontends | 07:56 |
| dethray | That'll work. :) | 07:56 |
| gogeta | Boohbah: they can do audio as well | 07:56 |
| gogeta | using lame | 07:56 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: If the command didn't display any error messages, then you'll know it work. You may get some configuration screen though. | 07:56 |
| Travo18 | mobi-sheep: it has come up saying like loading hardware drivers and loading kernel module checking file systems is that what it is supposed to do | 07:57 |
| gogeta | Travo18: err yes | 07:58 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: It'll ask you configuration questions. Just answer them best to your knowledge then that is that. | 07:58 |

| danbhfive | Travo18: are you running 8.04? | 07:58 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: Then go back to F7 and see if it does work. | 07:58 |

| gogeta | om26er yes youtube | 08:00 |
| gogeta | lol | 08:00 |
| danbhfive | Travo18: why don't you upgrade? | 08:00 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: We're at 9.04 now. | 08:00 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest69112 | ||

| barbhero | can anyone tell me why my clock is running an hour fast? This is driving me nuts | 08:01 |
| iaindalton | I'm trying to use prevu, but it fails. In the scrollback, I notice it can't check some gpg signature, cat reports a write error: Broken pipe, and dependency problems prevent configuration of pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy. The last seems most likely the problem, since it recovered from the others. What can I do? | 08:01 |
| om26er | gogeta plash player is very slow for me and totem was working good expect for the seeking thing | 08:02 |
| gogeta | om26er youtube.com | 08:02 |
| om26er | gogeta dumb | 08:02 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: The chance is that you won't have any issues with X with 9.04. There were lot of configurations in the old day but almost everything works right away out of the box. 9.04 is around 700MB, I think. | 08:02 |
| gogeta | om26er do you mean a flv player | 08:02 |
| zeltak | hi, any one know of a good text expansion/replacement program for ubuntu (not autokey which is broken in jaunty)? | 08:02 |

| Travo18 | mobi-sheep: i think it has finished but when i press ctrl+alt+f7 it sends me to a blank screen with a grey flashing cursor | 08:03 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: It's easier and less time-consuming to do a clean install than upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. | 08:03 |
| gogeta | om26er vlc can handel flv very well | 08:04 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: What graphic card? Old machine? | 08:04 |
| danbhfive | Travo18: I think its the same size... | 08:04 |
| Travo18 | mobi-sheep: yeh it is a rather old computer | 08:04 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: I suggest you grab a copy of 9.04 and test it out. More drivers + more hardware supports, etc etc. | 08:05 |

| [cert] | hi | 08:05 |
| balzac | hello | 08:06 |
| danbhfive | Travo18: at least upgrade to 8.04 | 08:06 |
| [cert] | Will ubuntu support my ATI 4530 display card? Because last time I tried it it didn't and couldn't use the sound as well. | 08:06 |
| [cert] | I tried 9.04, but with the older kernel. | 08:06 |
| balzac | my eee pc is very sluggish. I'm trying to trouble shoot it. The problem is most often with firefox freezing up. | 08:06 |
| gogeta | Travo18: ubuntu system regs havent gone up sence 7.04 in fact 9.04 is faster | 08:06 |
| Travo18 | i have just started download of 9.04 | 08:07 |
| danbhfive | balzac: are you using the major.org kernel? or whatever the site is? | 08:07 |
| balzac | maybe i'll ask in firefox... | 08:07 |
| balzac | danbhfive: well it's easy peasy | 08:07 |
| Ibrahim | Hi all | 08:07 |
| balzac | which is ubuntu which has been a bit modified for eee pcs | 08:08 |
| danbhfive | balzac: mk, that has the kernel | 08:08 |
| [cert] | Any ideas? | 08:08 |
| fireking3000 | In Virtualbox 2.2.4 I can't get my Guest OS to connect to the internet. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 | 08:08 |
| balzac | yeah, it doesn't perform anywhere near like it's supposed to | 08:08 |
| Ibrahim | I want to ask simple question on ubuntu operartion system | 08:08 |
| danbhfive | balzac: maybe try eeebuntu. I personally liked it better | 08:08 |
| barbhero | how can i find out what version of ubuntu i'm running? | 08:08 |
| [cert] | fireking3000: make sure the correct network settings are chosen from vbox settings. | 08:08 |
| danbhfive | barbhero: maybe: lsb_release -a | 08:08 |
| balzac | makes me wonder if intel is talking up their processors performance with a bunch of marketing babble | 08:08 |
| inflex | fireking3000: try #vbox | 08:09 |
| gogeta | danbhfive: yea eeebuntu has all the tweaks set aruldy | 08:09 |

| fireking3000 | I did Inflex no one talks there :/ | 08:09 |

| balzac | i have a fast computer at work, but the browser's buffer is choppy when scrolling | 08:09 |
| [cert] | barbhero: you'll find "about" button in one of the menues. | 08:09 |
| danbhfive | balzac: well, the processor is designed to be super low power. Its 2.5 watts compared to like 50 watts of a normal cpu | 08:09 |
| balzac | i want things to be smooth and responsive like a cold mountain stream | 08:10 |
| gogeta | danbhfive: i tryed 9.04 netbook remix and all it did was run out of memery lockup and qlan random deaths | 08:10 |
| gogeta | danbhfive: no issus with eeebuntu | 08:10 |
| iaindalton | 50W?! mine's like 95 o.O | 08:10 |
| gogeta | iaindalton: 32w hehe | 08:10 |
| balzac | danbhfive: that's the problem with the way the cpu industry sells performance as measured by GHz | 08:10 |
| balzac | it's no longer a clear indicator of performance | 08:11 |
| danbhfive | gogeta: yeah, not a fan of UNR either. plus, for me, I like to have the regular interface.. | 08:11 |
| balzac | also, you get lazy programmers using RAD tools that devour memory | 08:11 |
| gogeta | iaindalton: atom low power gotta love it | 08:11 |
| danbhfive | balzac: dude, that happened 5-10 years ago. Way back when ATI made a name for itself | 08:11 |
| iaindalton | 145 according to PSUCalc | 08:11 |
| iaindalton | dayumn | 08:11 |
| balzac | danbhfive: it's driving me up the wall because I've become obsessed with responsiveness above all else | 08:12 |
| gogeta | danbhfive: thats not the atom being choppy its the slow ss most nwtbooks have | 08:12 |

| balzac | yeah, so I should get smarter and compile stuff myself | 08:13 |
| rww | danbhfive: That's a problem with Firefox on Linux, not Ubuntu. | 08:13 |
| iaindalton | I thought SSDs were faster than HDDs? | 08:13 |
| fireking3000 | they are | 08:14 |

| balzac | i need to get smarter about this | 08:15 |
| gogeta | balzac: lazy webdev | 08:15 |
| balzac | i waste too much time | 08:15 |
| balzac | gogeta: that too | 08:15 |
| balzac | but there's something deeper here. | 08:16 |
| danbhfive | balzac: add the resource monitor to your taskbar. For me, that indicates a bit of whats going on, cpu? memory? HDD access? | 08:16 |
| om26er | how o mount a partition | 08:16 |
| [cert] | Why didn't my 9.04 didn't give me the live option? | 08:16 |
| balzac | yeah, i use the top command, i look at log files when working on server optimization | 08:16 |
| balzac | i figured there'd be a surplus of cpu power by now, but programmers have consumed it all | 08:17 |

| balzac | I'm going to follow this line of inquiry into FF | 08:23 |
| gogeta | juxbox: they all do | 08:23 |
| juxbox | lol | 08:23 |
| iaindalton | juxbox: I'm with gogeta | 08:24 |
| balzac | this also happens on my workstation at the office, which is a modern desktop | 08:24 |
| juxbox | iaindalton: what's that? | 08:24 |
| balzac | not a netbook | 08:24 |
| juxbox | ohh ok | 08:24 |
| juxbox | so which would you recommend? | 08:25 |
| gogeta | balzac: i blamme microsoft somehow | 08:25 |

| newlinux | How do I display the data currently processed / kept in processor ? (suggestions on online reading?; I am interested in reversed enginering of the functioning of the computer I have) | 08:26 |
| gogeta | juxbox: there just ubuntu with diffrent windows managers | 08:26 |
| gogeta | juxbox: take your pick | 08:26 |
| gogeta | juxbox: xbunter does use a smnaller faster windows manager xfce | 08:27 |
| iaindalton | newlinux: run a program in a debugger | 08:27 |
| gogeta | juxbox: but if your pcs decent it whont make mutch of a perforance diffrence | 08:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | you can change your window manager in ubuntu :/ | 08:28 |
| gogeta | that to | 08:28 |
| iaindalton | gogeta: it's more than the window manager. that's such a small thing. | 08:28 |
| gogeta | or install all 3 if you wish | 08:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | awesome is great, openbox is nice after that | 08:28 |
| iaindalton | it's the application suite | 08:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | i use my window manager more than any other app | 08:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | it's the first thing that starts! | 08:28 |
| gogeta | DigitalKiwi: real men use bash | 08:29 |
| DigitalKiwi | zsh ftw | 08:29 |

| labo4g | hi | 08:29 |
| iaindalton | eshell represent | 08:29 |
| DigitalKiwi | we just did this in C++ (a real men thing) | 08:30 |
| DigitalKiwi | it ended with 02:18 < fow> Real men kill every person who says something like "Real men <verb>..." | 08:30 |
| DigitalKiwi | then everyone died :( | 08:30 |
| labo4g | i've got a problem, i would like to add some color in my kernel messages (in /var/log/syslog) | 08:30 |
| labo4g | but the color code \033[%im does not works | 08:30 |
| iaindalton | labo4g: just don't use regular expressions. then you'll have two problems. | 08:30 |
| labo4g | it print ^[[30m | 08:30 |
| newlinux | iaindalton: Interest is initially in observing the os functioning and the computer itself; suggestions on info sources? | 08:30 |
| labo4g | instead of changing the color | 08:31 |
| labo4g | iaindalton, what do you mean ? | 08:31 |
| labo4g | iaindalton, in C | 08:31 |
| iaindalton | newlinux: read the source? | 08:31 |
| iaindalton | labo4g: a joke | 08:31 |
| gogeta | lol read the kernel souce it will only take years | 08:31 |
| unkmar | labo4g: is that when you cat the text? | 08:31 |
| labo4g | unkmar, when i tail it yes | 08:31 |
| labo4g | i tail -f /var/log/syslog | 08:32 |

| === labo4g is now known as nameless` | ||
| QAH | to insyall tomcat | 08:32 |
| iaindalton | labo4g: you're using C to parse your logs? is this a full-on app or a quick-and-dirty thing? | 08:32 |
| raylu | newlinux: strace may be of interest | 08:32 |
| unkmar | labo4g: of course when you tail it. tail doesn't interpret the codes. | 08:32 |
| raylu | QAH: preferably, you have already lost your sanity so there's no risk | 08:32 |
| nameless` | iaindalton, unkmar no i use C to printk my message | 08:32 |
| gogeta | raylu: ?? | 08:32 |
| nameless` | unkmar, yeah, that was i expected to | 08:32 |
| raylu | ? | 08:33 |
| QAH | ?? | 08:33 |
| gogeta | raylu: i thought that only applyed to vista users | 08:33 |
| nameless` | unkmar, maybe we can redirect the flow to the entry standard :) | 08:33 |
| nameless` | unkmar, kind of hack | 08:33 |
| nameless` | ugly ^_^ | 08:33 |
| trux2fe | Are there sandboxes for ubuntu? | 08:33 |
| raylu | i think i'd rather use vista than maintain a tomcat installation | 08:33 |
| raylu | trux2fe: sandboxes for what? | 08:33 |
| gogeta | outch | 08:33 |
| trux2fe | raylu: to limit access or separate some applications from the OS. | 08:34 |
| QAH | I tried installing tomcat and it threw a ton of errors while installing | 08:34 |
| raylu | QAH: sorry, just remembering how painful getting jsp to work was. no, there isn't any prequisite, but getting it to a usable state usually involves an apache proxy | 08:34 |
| raylu | QAH: can you show us those errors? | 08:34 |
| QAH | Something about ca certificates | 08:35 |
| bobbyyu | OK guys, I'm going to hate myself for asking this question: how can I get Synaptic to "Download Only?" | 08:35 |
| raylu | trux2fe: that's the wrong approach. give in to the bad design, get your work done, and get out :P | 08:35 |
| raylu | bobbyyu: no idea, but "aptitude download" will wor | 08:35 |
| raylu | k | 08:35 |
| nameless` | unkmar, do you have another idea ? | 08:35 |
| bobbyyu | Thank you, I guess. | 08:35 |

| QAH | What are some ways to make web services/applications for linux? | 08:37 |
| QAH | I know ASP.net for window | 08:37 |
| raylu | QAH: we can't really help you with tomcat if you're not specific. that being said, if you have option of not using it, highly recommend you consider a tradional LAMP stack for your web services/apps | 08:37 |
| raylu | ASP runs... sort of. there's so mono integration with apache | 08:38 |
| unkmar | QAH: php, perl, c, really long list of options. | 08:38 |
| danbhfive | QAH: look up cms s | 08:38 |
| raylu | but i wouldn't want to open that can of worms if i could avoid it either | 08:38 |
| raylu | *there's some mono integration with apache | 08:38 |
| DigitalKiwi | unkmar: i love how you started with the bad choices | 08:38 |
| unkmar | nameless`: nope, I haven't another idea. :( | 08:38 |
| DigitalKiwi | now give some good ones | 08:39 |
| raylu | nameless`: try a different syslog daemon | 08:39 |
| unkmar | DigitalKiwi: I don't see how those are bad choices. Matter of preference and needed speed. | 08:39 |
| DigitalKiwi | for web dev? come on | 08:39 |
| raylu | there are no good choices for web dev, only less painful ones | 08:39 |
| unkmar | I agree with raylu | 08:39 |
| unkmar | there is no single correct choice for web dev. | 08:40 |
| DigitalKiwi | kepler is in lua and is supposed to be decent, <3 lua but neve rused kepler | 08:40 |
| chilli0 | Hello. | 08:40 |
| Guest78929 | <3 | 08:40 |
| raylu | no, that's not what i'm saying | 08:40 |
| raylu | i agree with DigitalKiwi :P. all the choices are bad | 08:40 |
| WinterWeaver | When I go System >> Administration >> Hardware Drivers ... the app does not open. When trying to open it in the terminal, I get this: AttributeError: 'Backend' object has no attribute 'handlers' | 08:40 |
| DigitalKiwi | heard some good things about django and some less good things about rails... | 08:41 |
| unkmar | I've done stuff in recent time that was c, perl, php, and sql. Of course they require some, javascript, html, and css. We managed to avoid flash & java. | 08:41 |
| chilli0 | Im having some issues with sound , im a noob so not sure how to do much . The sound is playing out my laptop speakers when i have head phones in i read online but nothing helped. | 08:41 |
| DigitalKiwi | c for web dev sounds like it would be a royal pita :/ not that it's a joy to use anyway, but it's a low level systems language not really designed or even that suitable for web dev imo :/ | 08:42 |
| WinterWeaver | django is my preferred choice ^_^ | 08:42 |
| WinterWeaver | well... anything python except for Zope O.o | 08:43 |
| chilli0 | WinterWeaver: Have you tryed Circuits? | 08:43 |
| DigitalKiwi | tried python it's not bad i just prefer lua :/ | 08:43 |
| unkmar | well, top down. the php pulled the data from the SQL that had been supplied by the perl that was calling the c code that interfaced the data device. | 08:43 |
| bazhang | please take all programming chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:44 |
| chilli0 | Im having some issues with sound , im a noob so not sure how to do much . The sound is playing out my laptop speakers when i have head phones in i read online but nothing helped. | 08:44 |
| iaindalton | How can I find the .desktop file that represents a program in the "Open With" contextual menu in Nautilus? | 08:44 |
| WinterWeaver | chilli0 link to circuits? dunno what it is | 08:45 |
| DigitalKiwi | did you try updatedb; locate -i program | 08:45 |
| DigitalKiwi | sudo updatedb* | 08:45 |
| chilli0 | k sure , http://trac.softcircuit.com.au/circuits/wiki . Its even driven really nice and fast. | 08:46 |
| iaindalton | DigitalKiwi: if you're addressing me, yes. | 08:46 |
| Halabund | It seems that GNOME won't let me add more than 4 keyboard layouts ... Why? Is there an easy way around this? I need to type in more than 4 langauges ... | 08:46 |
| DigitalKiwi | i was and i dunno then | 08:46 |
| supreme | iaindalton: the desktop files are located under ~/.local/share/applications | 08:46 |
| iaindalton | the app in question is Archive Mounter, but I'm searching for a general answer to the question for future reference as well | 08:46 |
| raylu | Halabund: seems to be a known bug | 08:47 |
| raylu | iaindalton: i don't think it's a .desktop file | 08:47 |
| Halabund | raylu: I hope they fix it in the next release :/ | 08:47 |
| iaindalton | supreme: find ~/.local/share/applications -iname "archive*mounter" returns no results. same for /usr/share/applications etc | 08:48 |
| chilli0 | Im having some issues with sound , im a noob so not sure how to do much . The sound is playing out my laptop speakers when i have head phones in i read online but nothing helped. | 08:48 |
| raylu | Halabund: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11proto-core/+bug/56912 | 08:48 |
| iaindalton | raylu: aren't all apps in the "open with" menu .desktop files? | 08:48 |
| supreme | iaindalton: if you know where you installed the application, you could just create a shorcut (.desktop file) for it | 08:49 |
| raylu | Halabund: from what i gather with a quick skim, the issue is with X | 08:49 |
| === daurn is now known as daurnimator | ||
| raylu | iaindalton: honestly, i don't know. i barely touch gnome past the panel and the terminal. just if it were me designing it, i wouldn't use .desktop files | 08:49 |
| iaindalton | supreme: I'm trying to find the .desktop file that represents the app. I don't know the command name, just that it's called Archive Mounter | 08:49 |
| raylu | !archive | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about archive | 08:50 |
| raylu | !tar | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 08:50 |
| raylu | file-roller may be what you're after | 08:50 |
| raylu | wait, archive mounter? | 08:50 |
| Halabund | Another question: in Windows, I can set different shortcut keys for switching to each keyboard layout. I use 5, so just cycling between them is quite inconvenient. Is this possible in Ubuntu? What is the right command for switching to a particular layout in Gnome? | 08:50 |
| Weust` | Halabund: can you play with loadkeys ? | 08:51 |
| Weust` | don't know if that works in Gnome... | 08:51 |
| wolfgangkitn | damn | 08:51 |
| wolfgangkitn | i bet this is a super n00b question | 08:51 |
| wolfgangkitn | how come i cant login to mysql serveer | 08:52 |

| danbhfive | !shortcuts | Halabund | 08:52 |
| ubottu | Halabund: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 08:52 |
| wolfgangkitn | im jjust barely setting it up | 08:52 |

| wolfgangkitn | haha thanks | 08:53 |
| Weust` | np | 08:53 |
| wolfgangkitn | have you ever used inkscape? | 08:53 |
| raylu | Halabund: also, setxkbmap may help you | 08:53 |
| unkmar | I have. | 08:53 |
| supreme | iaindalton: try searching for the app in commonly used locations (/usr/bin /bin, etc) | 08:54 |
| unkmar | I used inkscape when creating some custom keyboards for onscreen. | 08:54 |
| iaindalton | supreme: I don't know the filename of the command, and locate -i "archive*mounter" returns no results | 08:54 |
| unkmar | strangely, i found it easier to edit the text in vim. | 08:55 |
| unkmar | iaindalton: apropos command | 08:55 |
| Halabund | raylu: I just tried setxkbmap, but it seems to break the gnome layout switching, and layouts are no more local to windows | 08:55 |
| supreme | iaindalton: try find / archive* | 08:55 |
| un|matrix | what is the normal latency of a pulseaudio sink supposed to be? (noone answering on #pulseaudio) | 08:56 |
| iaindalton | unkmar: no dice. supreme: thousands of dice. | 08:56 |
| fireking3000 | Anyone here? | 08:57 |
| unkmar | yeah, I sorta noticed that when I tried it. :( | 08:57 |
| iaindalton | isn't there a general solution? I know the exact name of the program in the context menu, surely that text must reside in a file in a certain place? | 08:57 |
| unkmar | fireking3000: no, we all went to a party last saturday night. | 08:57 |
| unkmar | just kidding. | 08:57 |
| unkmar | iaindalton: it does. | 08:58 |
| raylu | iaindalton: the general solution is grep -r :D | 08:58 |
| Halabund | danbhfive: I do know where to change keyboard shortcuts. What I don't know is what is a GNOME-friendly command for switching to a specific keyboard layout ... | 08:58 |
| unkmar | iaindalton: drag drop to desktop, right click, properties. see what it launches. | 08:58 |
| redsoxking | Hello | 08:58 |
| redsoxking | Is there anyway to put Thunderbird on my top panel | 08:59 |
| raylu | Halabund: you could set up some shortcuts for setxkbmap, abandom gnome's kb layout switcher, and just deal with the layouts not being local to a window | 08:59 |
| raylu | redsoxking: right-click, add applet, application launcher... something like that. | 08:59 |
| iaindalton | raylu: on /? unkmar: can't drag and drop something from a contextual menu | 08:59 |
| raylu | iaindalton: in .gnome* | 09:00 |
| unkmar | iaindalton: context menu. oops. my bad. | 09:00 |

| Aacron | Hey everyone. My question for th emoment is that I've noticed ubuntu mounts things different from other distros (media? wth?) and I'm wondering if there is a way I can make /media go away and use /mnt, or if that is a pain, then how to make it where if ubuntu mounts something in media it also exists in mnt? | 09:08 |
| wolfgangkitn | after doing this to set up phpmyadmin | 09:08 |
| ndy40 | guys my gnome settings daemon is acting up and so my screen resolution is down somethings aren't walking. | 09:08 |
| redsoxking | iaindalton: well Im new to this so I wouldn't know were to start, ubuntu for 2 weeks thats it | 09:09 |
| wolfgangkitn | sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin | 09:09 |
| raylu | Aacron: ln -s /media /mnt? | 09:09 |
| ndy40 | it promised to restart setting daemons when i login but no action done yet | 09:09 |
| Aacron | it sfrustrating to have to check two different places for one mounted drive | 09:09 |
| Aacron | whats that raylu ? | 09:09 |
| raylu | Aacron: the idea is for media to be removable drives and /mnt to be permanant things | 09:09 |
| raylu | Aacron: that's a symlink | 09:09 |
| wolfgangkitn | i messed up in the initial set up | 09:09 |
| Aacron | oh. well its mounting my backup drive in media :| | 09:09 |
| iaindalton | redsoxking: all I'm saying is, linux needs more artistic types. it has a glut of "power users" who don't care about how things look. | 09:09 |
| raylu | wolfgangkitn: again, tell us what's going on. what do you see at localhost/phpmyadmin? | 09:09 |
| wolfgangkitn | and i tried to remove it | 09:09 |

| raylu | Aacron: indeed. i would never have guessed myself, always read it as f-stab until i was enlightened. /etc/fstab controls what gets mounted at boot-time and by "mount -a" | 09:11 |
| Aacron | kk so it will stop ubuntu from mounting things in /media? | 09:11 |
| raylu | wolfgangkitn: dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin may help you | 09:11 |
| Aacron | woudlnt' really mind it if it restricted itself to floppy and cdrom *only* | 09:11 |
| raylu | Aacron: ubuntu's strange fuse automagic-ness ignores things that are already mounted, so yes | 09:12 |
| wolfgangkitn | thanks | 09:12 |
| Aacron | fuse... that is somethign new that didn't exist when I last tried linux... | 09:12 |
| raylu | chilli0: what have you tried? also, what sound card? | 09:12 |
| raylu | !fuse | 09:12 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 09:12 |
| chilli0 | raylu: i tryed to install alsa driver ( the new one) but i think it faild and its a , HDA Intel | 09:13 |

| fireking3000 | wow unetbootin is awesome | 09:15 |
| chilli0 | raylu: Any tips or advice? | 09:15 |
| Aacron | I'm confused by something in fstab... its mounting things by UUID? why not the old... xdx#? | 09:15 |
| Aacron | !UUID | 09:16 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 09:16 |

| un|matrix | what is the normal latency of a pulseaudio sink supposed to be? (noone answering on #pulseaudio) | 09:16 |
| raylu | fireking3000: indeed | 09:16 |
| raylu | Jimi_Neutral: can you be more specific | 09:16 |
| raylu | Aacron: because drive order changes, UUIDs of filesytems do not | 09:17 |
| chilli0 | raylu: just ./configure then make then make install but i dont know what whent on , and also lspci |grep Audio gives me , 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 09:17 |
| raylu | Aacron: you can use the old way if you want. uuids are optional. /dev/disk/by-uuid is helpful | 09:17 |
| Aacron | drive order changes? oh like usb drives and such? | 09:18 |
| raylu | chilli0: i'd try "sudo make uninstall" in the directory you intsalled from | 09:18 |
| chilli0 | k | 09:18 |
| raylu | Aacron: yeah. or a reconfiguring of the bios, kernel, tec. | 09:18 |
| Jimi_Neutral | raylu, i was a bit further up, i have basically been following what kevin has told me to do...creating an image and then i belive using ddrescue on that image....there are some arrors and there is one file i need to get off it but i dont know how | 09:18 |
| raylu | Aacron: *etc. or an actual reordering of the drives | 09:18 |
| Jimi_Neutral | raylu, he was literally taking me thru it start to finish | 09:18 |
| chilli0 | raylu: k done. | 09:18 |
| Aacron | ahh, gotcha. but if you do that in bios you're generally in some Grubby trouble :)) | 09:18 |
| unkmar | Aacron: like primary and secondary IDE, Master and Slave or , sata0, 1, or 2. | 09:18 |
| raylu | Jimi_Neutral: i joined this channel 3 hours ago, so i don't have it in my logs. | 09:19 |
| raylu | Jimi_Neutral: you've backed up everything onto a file using ddrescue? | 09:19 |
| raylu | chilli0: did that... do anything? | 09:19 |
| chilli0 | Yes . | 09:20 |
| chilli0 | Just said rm -f a few files. | 09:20 |
| Aacron | grub was a nightmare for me a few days ago... was crazy how grub saw drives in a different order than ubuntu's install cd, so ubuntu was telling grub the wrong hd(X,X) | 09:20 |
| Jimi_Neutral | raylu, it was only about 3 mins ago....anyways as far as i know yeah, he gave me a couple of commands which was somehitng to do with hddimage....so i assume we took an image of the failing hdd and put it on the linux installation hdd, then scan it for errors using dd | 09:20 |
| unkmar | Jimi_Neutral: that is almost exactly what you must have done. | 09:21 |
| raylu | chilli0: ok. i'd recommend doing a reinstall of alsa-base and alsa-utils at this point | 09:21 |
| raylu | chilli0: then, try the options for modprobe in that link i gave you | 09:22 |
| unkmar | Jimi_Neutral: but you don't scan for errors with dd. You do that with ddrescue. | 09:22 |
| Jimi_Neutral | unkmar, sorry i was abrieviating, i meant ddrescue | 09:22 |
| raylu | Jimi_Neutral: has your named changed since then? lastlog shows the first message with "jimi" in it: | 09:22 |
| raylu | 03:08:46 Jimi_Neutral> Hi I have been using dd with the help of someone, I need to be abl to carry on and retrieve some data, can anyone help me....I am up to the bit just after copying and then | 09:22 |
| chilli0 | raylu: How can i do this? | 09:23 |
| Jimi_Neutral | raylu, yeah that is my name jimi_neutral | 09:23 |
| Jimi_Neutral | raylu, has been for ages | 09:23 |
| raylu | chilli0: "sudo aptitude reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils" is one way | 09:23 |

| fireking3000 | Next year at my school we get to use laptops. Lets say I boot up the computer from a portable linux distrobution. Is there anyway to make a hidden NTFS partition? | 09:26 |
| Weust` | fireking3000: truecrypt | 09:26 |
| Jimi_Neutral | ok so anyone know what i do now? | 09:26 |
| fireking3000 | ok ty | 09:27 |
| === sale_ is now known as sale | ||
| Weust` | fireking3000: but be aware, partitionlayout will never be hidden | 09:27 |
| fireking3000 | What does that mean? | 09:27 |
| Weust` | so you'll need to shrink the existing one, create a new partition, and use that as truecrypt container | 09:27 |
| raylu | fireking3000: i believe you can simply mark an ntfs partition as hidden with fdisk.. that hides it from windows installations | 09:28 |
| Weust` | raylu: is that so? so you couldn't see it trough manage -> storage ? | 09:28 |
| chilli0 | raylu: Done | 09:28 |
| raylu | i have no idea. hidden partitions don't live very long on my systems :P | 09:28 |
| fireking3000 | Anyway to mod Windows Boot Manager to allow a key combination to boot into the hidden partition? | 09:29 |
| raylu | chilli0: now, either restart your computer or move to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1) and reload the snd_hda_intel module | 09:29 |
| Weust` | fireking3000: truecrypt has this option since lately also | 09:29 |
| fireking3000 | ok ty again | 09:29 |
| Weust` | i think they made a bootloader that supports decrypting AES | 09:29 |
| raylu | fireking3000: not easily, and there are issues with booting hidden partitions, so i'd do what Weust` suggests | 09:30 |
| chilli0 | ill just reboot :P What do i do once i reboot? | 09:30 |

| Weust` | console work, desktop logins, or just samba shares ? | 09:31 |
| raylu | you say "just" samba shares as if that's the least risky | 09:31 |
| Weust` | surely not, but talking about security in global, then indeed not turning on the machine is the best, so i try to split up to an area for focussing | 09:32 |
| chilli0 | raylu: The headphones work , They speakers dont mute when they are pluged in. | 09:32 |
| raylu | chilli0: i know, that's what i meant by "detected," sorry | 09:32 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, some admin type things, probably in priorty: User1: ssh's in as root, runs su postgres, psql, then uses postgres, user 2: may do similar, and thats possibly it really | 09:33 |
| raylu | ... | 09:33 |
| chilli0 | raylu: ok.. | 09:33 |
| chilli0 | brb restarting | 09:33 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: error 1, NEVER allow login as root | 09:33 |
| raylu | "that's possibly it really", as if ssh-ing as root is in any way a good idea | 09:33 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: there's a reason root logins are disabled in sshd's configuration by default | 09:34 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, why not allow login as root though, and whats the best thing to do instead? | 09:34 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: i don't really know what to say, if you allow root for your users then you'd have to trust them.. that's it | 09:34 |
| e-frame | by default? | 09:34 |
| raylu | e-frame: ? | 09:34 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: login as user, sudo or su then | 09:34 |
| maxagaz | i can't configure nvidia drivers on jaunty amd64, is there a known bug ? | 09:35 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: you can configure sudo to run only certain applications... | 09:35 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: because your communication might not be secure and your root authentication might be compromised | 09:35 |
| AdvoWork | so make 2 users: user1, user2, what permissions etc should I give them, so they can ssh in, su to postgres and run psql etc? | 09:35 |
| e-frame | raylu: it's enabled by default isn't it? | 09:35 |
| raylu | maxagaz: yes, they're proprietary :P. but that's not really a bug | 09:35 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: so user1 can only sudo <command> but not sudo <any_other_command> | 09:35 |
| raylu | e-frame: i'm pretty sure it's not... check in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 09:35 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, and how do i stop them/allow them using certain commands then? | 09:36 |
| Oins | Hi, i have an old Maxtor 2B020H1 HDD which is supported by hddtemp. But hddtemp print out 0°C. What could be wrong? | 09:36 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: /etc/sudoers | 09:36 |
| maxagaz | raylu, aptitude install nvidia-glx-180 couldn't solve the problem | 09:36 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: by config sudoers file, only allow sudo for 1 command | 09:36 |
| maxagaz | raylu, what else can i do ? | 09:36 |
| raylu | maxagaz: anything more specific? | 09:36 |

| nomoa | hi, I can't understand how locales and belocs-locales-data works together, I can't install both of them. What's the right config to have working locales on hardy? | 09:38 |
| raylu | boghog: aptitude show xorg-server, or http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/xorg | 09:38 |
| boghog | thanks raylu | 09:38 |
| raylu | e-frame: i don't think so, but i'm not in a position to check right now | 09:38 |
| AdvoWork | so: sudo useradd -d /home/firstname.surname -m firstname.surname sudo passwd firstname.surname and then run the /etc/sudoers or ? | 09:39 |
| e-frame | raylu: well, i'm sure about it. but well nothing to worry. we all know where and how to configure that :) | 09:39 |
| raylu | chilli0: that's strange. can you show me your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base? | 09:39 |
| maxagaz | raylu, it doesn't load kernel module | 09:39 |
| Weust` | man sudoers | 09:39 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: you don't need -d in that situation | 09:39 |
| AdvoWork | and what about stopping root from sshing? | 09:39 |
| Flannel | AdvoWork: lock the root account. | 09:40 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: by default, root can't login anyway | 09:40 |
| e-frame | AdvoWork: just check /etc/ssh/sshd_config as raylu said before | 09:40 |
| Flannel | AdvoWork: sudoers is a bit more complicated to edit than I'd feel comfortable just giving you the command for (since knowing what youre doing is important), *luckily* we have some decent documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers | 09:40 |
| AdvoWork | if i lock the root account though, will that stop anything else working or? i have cronjobs etc that run as root | 09:40 |

| chilli0 | raylu: should i add that? | 09:47 |
| raylu | chilli0: yes | 09:48 |
| chilli0 | k done. | 09:48 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, i do a lot of stuff as root, but the majority of things are file cleaning, making new directories, some mounts, then (su as postgres) and use that, then sometimes su as zimbra and through that. so for that, what would i need to allow myself? | 09:49 |
| maxagaz | raylu, actually, it works with a low resolution | 09:49 |
| raylu | chrism2671: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/user-mode-linux | 09:49 |
| maxagaz | raylu, and there's no choice of higher resolution in nvidia-settings | 09:49 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: as you seem to be the administrator, you can grant yourself to sudo ALL | 09:50 |
| Weust` | just limit usr1 and usr2 to only do what they must (postgres?) | 09:50 |
| Weust` | then you can login | 09:50 |
| Welshy-Rob | hi is there a program on ubuntu theat will let me convert avi's to MPEG4's? | 09:50 |
| Welshy-Rob | That* | 09:51 |
| AdvoWork | to be honest, user 1 = me, user 2 = director. I dont think he does a whole heap on there, just sent an email trrying to work out what command he uses. So if i make myself a seperate account, and grant sudo all for myself, and then i can do whatever to user2? | 09:51 |
| Weust` | although it might be more secure to also disable you from sudo'ing all, and instead go to root by su... i don't really know | 09:51 |
| raylu | maxagaz: well.. your card should be supported by that driver. does xdpyinfo say anything about nvidia? | 09:52 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: if you're only with 2 ppl, then why so much security | 09:52 |
| raylu | Welshy-Rob: mencoder, mediacoder | 09:52 |
| Weust` | make backups in case he f*cks up.., check the bash_history in case of an error.. | 09:52 |
| raylu | speaking of which, you could just get the command he needs out of bash_history | 09:53 |
| chrism2671 | raylu: are you sure? that seems like a lot of installing for something quite trivial? in addition, I don't see how it's relevant? | 09:53 |
| Aacron | quick q: how do I format an ext3 partition with (i think it was somethign with 128?) the default gparted seemd to format with 256. Bascially I need to get it working with the ext2/3 for windows driver | 09:54 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, because at the moment, we both ssh in as root, i just dont feel its the best way to go about it? | 09:54 |
| raylu | chrism2671: i just did a search for fuse.ko and that was the only result. you shouldn't have to install it manually as it comes by default with ubuntu-desktop | 09:54 |
| Aacron | I had the page up in windows but I'm kinda in linux now so yeah... been lookign for the page I saw and can't seem to find it | 09:54 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: add user 1 and 2, allow them to sudo, disable rootlogin | 09:54 |
| raylu | Aacron: mkfs.ext3 -I 128 | 09:55 |
| raylu | Aacron: inode size | 09:55 |
| chrism2671 | raylu: that's what I thought, but it refuses to enable it, saying module not found (for modprobe fuse) | 09:55 |
| Aacron | ahh thanks :D | 09:55 |

| Aacron | linux needs drivers as well to 'speak the device's language' | 10:01 |
| chrism2671 | raylu: sshfs is installed | 10:01 |
| toomai_CH | hi all | 10:01 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: that is if you would like every user to do "sudo command" | 10:01 |
| * raylu googles tomboy | 10:02 | |
| default | xxao | 10:02 |
| Weust` | you *could* also share the root password with user2 and after login just do su | 10:02 |
| === default is now known as xaao | ||
| toomai_CH | does anyone know where to get alsa 1.0.20 and kernel 2.6.30 for jaunty (as deb, in ppa-repo for instance)? | 10:02 |
| raylu | wow... | 10:02 |
| raylu | chrism2671: this tomboy think looks like a load of fail | 10:03 |
| chrism2671 | raylu: i believe so, unfortunately | 10:03 |
| chrism2671 | raylu: shame, it's a really useful program | 10:03 |
| raylu | chrism2671: anyway, what does tomboy say and what are you trying to do? | 10:03 |
| toomai_CH | raylu: surely depends on point of view...you can always install gnote instead...:) | 10:03 |
| chrism2671 | it says you need to enable fuse, click to enable | 10:04 |
| raylu | toomai_CH: would you associate the words "c#, mono, gtk#" with "simple note-taking"? | 10:04 |
| chrism2671 | raylu: then when i click enable, it says failed | 10:04 |
| raylu | toomai_CH: does a "simple" note-taker integrate sshfs? | 10:04 |
| chrism2671 | raylu: to be honest i think i'm going to leave it for the minute, i have actual work to do- i had hoped it would be a quick fix but i guess not! | 10:04 |
| maxaga | raylu: when i run nvidia-setting, this meesage is displayed in the terminal: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 10:04 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, well only user1, user2? | 10:04 |
| raylu | chrism2671: dmesg | tail may be of help. so might running tomboy in the terminal | 10:04 |
| toomai_CH | raylu: surely not...but then again...I am not able to write such programs in another language so I have to take what is there and make a choice | 10:04 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: what else? | 10:05 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: you need to understand the priciple, not the steps | 10:05 |
| jackiii | leave | 10:05 |
| toomai_CH | does anyone know where to get alsa 1.0.20 and kernel 2.6.30 for jaunty (as deb, in ppa-repo for instance)? | 10:05 |
| Weust` | the steps is what you need to think of youreselve | 10:05 |
| glickity | excuse me, what can i do about some windows in preferences that are longer than the screen is and the windows arnt resizeable, | 10:05 |
| glickity | i am on a netbook | 10:05 |
| raylu | toomai_CH: i use text files and a text editor for actual note taking. tomboy's totally-not-related-to-note-taking features i take care of with a decent web browser, mailreader, etc. | 10:06 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, i dont get your point? i understand i only want to allow sudo to user1 and user2 for only a few things (su postgres, su zimbra) and thats it | 10:06 |
| glickity | i put the menubars on autohide, but thats still not enough | 10:06 |
| Aacron | A4Tech:: here is some stuff for you, courtesy of google: | 10:06 |
| toomai_CH | raylu: well, as I said...you take what suits you...after all there is some notetaking application in evolution (as far as I recall that is not tombay or gnote, right?) | 10:06 |
| raylu | glickity: i think you can alt+drag in a window to move it | 10:06 |
| raylu | toomai_CH: no idea | 10:07 |
| sangyu | raylu, sorry, gdm was frozen | 10:07 |
| e-frame | where can i find gutsy repo ? | 10:07 |
| glickity | ahh yes, thanks raylu | 10:07 |

| maxaga | raylu, forgot to change my nick... | 10:08 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: its not su zimbra | 10:08 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: its sudo zimbra | 10:08 |
| Weust` | su just change you to the Super User | 10:08 |
| Weust` | and requires you to know its passwd | 10:08 |
| xhema | hi all | 10:08 |
| Aacron | yay | 10:08 |
| e-frame | is there any gutsy repo available? archive.ubuntu.com doesn't have it anymore | 10:08 |
| Weust` | with sudo you'll execute the command given AS the superuser | 10:08 |
| xhema | we are having problems with an ubunut install on a windows drive that is very slow to access the network | 10:09 |
| Weust` | and depending on sudo's config, you won't even need a passwd | 10:09 |
| xhema | any suggestions | 10:09 |
| Aacron | I dotn feel like a complete linux n00b now :P | 10:09 |
| e-frame | i need to upgrade | 10:09 |
| Aacron | I actually answered a question! yay for me | 10:09 |
| Aacron | lol | 10:09 |
| raylu | e-frame: i'd recommend a reinstall | 10:09 |
| toomai_CH | e-frame: I would recommend a new install....I am not sure that this repo is actually still available | 10:09 |
| toomai_CH | e-frame: do you have your /home on a seperate parition? | 10:09 |
| toomai_CH | partition | 10:09 |
| raylu | xhema: that made no sense | 10:09 |
| e-frame | raylu: well, it's running on my server, i don't have much downtime allowed :) | 10:10 |
| raylu | Aacron: well, A4Tech hasn't confirmed the solution | 10:10 |
| Aacron | raylu: that was a question I've had about linux for a while... are re-installs necessary on linux very often, like with upgrades? | 10:10 |
| xhema | raylu, i just installed ubuntu a pc using the loopback device | 10:10 |
| xhema | and for some reason the network is terribly slow | 10:10 |
| andrew_46 | Aacron: Depends how often you break things :-) | 10:10 |
| raylu | xhema: that... still made no sense | 10:10 |
| Aacron | raylu: yeah I googled it and he just needed to put the camera in the right mode | 10:11 |
| e-frame | will alternate cd upgrade keep my datas ? | 10:11 |
| maxagaz | raylu, do you have a solution for me ? | 10:11 |
| toomai_CH | Aacron: and it depends how much you "play" around with it by installing 3rd party software... | 10:11 |
| A4Tech | raylu All works had to be only the switch to view photos | 10:11 |
| A4Tech | thx all | 10:11 |
| xhema | raylu, can you help me diagnose the network speed. why a simple apt-get update is taking forevert | 10:11 |
| toomai_CH | e-frame: no, your data will be lost...IF you have NO seperate partition for your /home | 10:11 |
| e-frame | toomai_CH: nothing in /home of my server ^^ | 10:12 |
| raylu | Aacron: i've never upgraded myself. i'm not in a position to answer that because i install a new distro/release every month or so :P | 10:12 |
| Aacron | toomai_CH: what do you mean by 3rd party? non-supported, or evil software from those closed source people | 10:12 |
| toomai_CH | e-frame: ah, then...well...backup your /etc-data and the such.... | 10:12 |
| Aacron | ack raylu, how the heck do you keep your settings? :P | 10:12 |
| e-frame | toomai_CH: but there is a lot of configs :D | 10:12 |
| raylu | Aacron: either | 10:12 |
| toomai_CH | Aacron: no, not necessarily...just software which came from other repositories than from ubuntu main repo | 10:12 |
| raylu | Aacron: and i keep /home on a separate partition. and lots of backing up. | 10:12 |
| toomai_CH | e-frame: well, as I said...back it up (tar and gunzip or bzip2) | 10:13 |
| Aacron | oh... Well I'm guilty there already. soem stuff just sint' in 'canonical' :( | 10:13 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, i mean yeah but we type su zimbra etc, does that matter? | 10:13 |
| e-frame | toomai_CH: thx :) | 10:13 |
| raylu | toomai_CH: tar j, tar z | 10:13 |
| andrew_46 | toomai_CH: The explosion of PPAs makes quality control a little difficult | 10:13 |
| === vmware is now known as fireking300 | ||
| Aacron | ahhhhh. I actually partitioned /home this time myself :D | 10:13 |
| Weust` | su zimbra litteraly means, switch me to the user zimbra | 10:14 |
| raylu | xhema: not really, especially because i don't understand your setup. tracert comes to mind, though | 10:14 |
| toomai_CH | andrew_46: hmm....I thought so...:)....but still, I somehow cant manage to find the kernel 2.6.30 and alsa 1.0.20 (where the kernel itself is most important) on google as ppa repos | 10:14 |
| toomai_CH | andrew_46: I think I recall there is a ppa for kernels... | 10:14 |
| xhema | yes, i am doing tracert right now | 10:14 |
| andrew_46 | toomai_CH: I have not seen thos | 10:14 |
| andrew_46 | this | 10:14 |
| xhema | it seems raylu thanks anyway. | 10:14 |
| xhema | i am going to figure it out | 10:15 |
| fireking300 | Linux > Windows > Mac OS X | 10:15 |
| andrew_46 | toomai_CH: But loell has a PPA search somewhere | 10:15 |
| AdvoWork | Weust`, so its basically the same as typing sudo zimbra or what? | 10:15 |
| Moofius | is there any app that automatically unpacks zip/tar.bz2/tar.gz/targ/whatever, whithout me having to check documentation everytime I need to unpack something? | 10:15 |
| Aacron | now just need to talk someone in the linux community to write a nice centralized hardware control program... ala' windows device manager :| | 10:15 |
| maveas | What's your recommendations for a cheap and solid SSL? | 10:15 |
| Travo18 | hey i have just downloaded ubuntu 9.04 i am trying to install it but it has come to a dos box looking page what the? | 10:15 |
| toomai_CH | andrew_46: hmm...maybe I was misguided and I change things up....too bad....I broke my sound in jaunty, because it didnt work to begin with...now...I am lost and want to upgrade alsa and the kernel to regain sound | 10:15 |
| maveas | Travo18: Server version? | 10:15 |
| Travo18 | how do i check? | 10:16 |
| maveas | Well, did you get a GUI installation? | 10:16 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: no, it's the same as typing sudo -u zimbra | 10:16 |
| maveas | Or a semi GUI? :) | 10:16 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: except... not | 10:16 |
| Travo18 | i downloaded ubuntu from their webpage i dont know | 10:16 |
| Weust` | i for hell don't know if zimbra is a user or an executable | 10:16 |
| maveas | Well, Travo18, you should know .. | 10:17 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: the point is, su [something] tries to log in as [something] and sudo [something] tries to run [something] as root | 10:17 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: What was the name of ISO you downloaded? | 10:17 |
| AdvoWork | raylu, but i mean, allowing sudo zimbra means su zimbra will work, as ive theoretically changed to that user, and running normal commands, which are seen as sudo zimbra .. | 10:17 |
| AdvoWork | or not | 10:17 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: su and sudo can be used interchangably given the right flags, but we generally discourage the use of su for sudo | 10:17 |
| Travo18 | maveas look this is the first time i have used this and i dont appreciate the way your are going about this | 10:17 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: and that last sentence you typed made no senes | 10:17 |
| raylu | *sense | 10:17 |
| maveas | What? Take a look at ubuntu.com | 10:17 |
| maveas | What do you see? | 10:18 |
| AdvoWork | i know what I mean, but cant explain it | 10:18 |
| glickity | hey, whats the 'public' folder for in the home directory in ubuntu? | 10:18 |
| Trentor | What is a good pdf viewer where I can not only read pdf documents but edit them to an advanced level. | 10:18 |
| lesshaste | I have been told to enable boot logging and post the output ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/389930 ) but this feature has not worked for ages and does nothing in jaunty. Do they just mean /var/log/dmesg ? | 10:18 |
| Travo18 | i put the cd in and i start the computer it comes up to a splash screen to choose ways to install it | 10:18 |
| raylu | Travo18: it sounds like you got the altrenate installation cd | 10:18 |
| raylu | *alternate | 10:18 |
| Aacron | raylu: what exactly is the difference between su and sudo? isnt' su the same as sudo -s? | 10:18 |
| Weust` | AdvoWork: its fairly easy, su = switch user, example: su root, su user1,...; sudo = execute command AS another user, example sudo shutdown (no user given meaning user=root), sudo -u user2 shutdown (run shutdown as user2) | 10:18 |
| raylu | Travo18: pdfs are not meant for editing | 10:18 |
| raylu | er... | 10:18 |
| Trentor | me | 10:18 |
| raylu | Trentor: pdfs are not meant for editing, yeah | 10:18 |
| maveas | Travo18: Well, then you choose to install Ubuntu (the normal way | 10:19 |
| Aacron | raylu: I think I actually tried su once and it asked for 'root' password... which I dont even thing ubuntu has one of | 10:19 |
| mobi-sheep | Travo18: What image did you download? ubuntu-9.04-alternate-amd64.iso? | 10:19 |
| AdvoWork | ahh that makes sense | 10:19 |

| Aacron | i said unlocked? | 10:19 |
| Trentor | Hmm, well I need to edit it, is there a way I can? I know your normally not supposed to edit pdf documents, but I am trying to include a signature in a pdf document, are you sure there are no pdf viewers that let me edit them as well? | 10:19 |
| Aacron | where? what? I'm lost :D | 10:20 |
| Trentor | A PDF decompiler to DOC so to speak? | 10:20 |
| aemyr | Thanks | 10:20 |
| maveas | Travo18: ? | 10:20 |
| Travo18 | mobi-sheep: no it is the normal one it just says ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso | 10:20 |
| raylu | Aacron: i'm confusing you for AdvoWork | 10:20 |
| maveas | Travo18: What can you choose from the screen when it's boots up? | 10:20 |
| Travo18 | try ubuntu without changin | 10:20 |
| Travo18 | install ubuntu | 10:20 |
| Travo18 | check cd for defects | 10:21 |
| maveas | There you have it ^ | 10:21 |
| maveas | Choose "Install Ubuntu" | 10:21 |
| raylu | Trentor: to doc... no. you can... copy and paste the text, though :D. the only real way is to get a hold of the original | 10:21 |
| raylu | Trentor: unless the pdf itself is just an image, no text | 10:21 |
| maveas | And you're almost running Ubuntu in a couple of seconds.. | 10:21 |
| Aacron | raylu: ahhh. think I'm gogin to google for why ubuntu has no 'root' anyhow... been confuddled with that one... seems its a little bit of asecurity risk in the way I'm thining | 10:21 |
| Travo18 | yeh and i tried it last time and it came up with information about sudo and root and user | 10:21 |
| raylu | !root | Aacron | 10:21 |
| ubottu | Aacron: 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 | 10:21 |
| maveas | Ok.. and it didn't do anything else? | 10:21 |
| raylu | Aacron: it does have root, just no passowrd | 10:22 |
| Travo18 | hang on i am trying it again and i will see what happens | 10:22 |
| maveas | Can you take some pictures of it? | 10:22 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: We are trying to discontinue the usage of root password. | 10:22 |
| maveas | If it happens again? :P | 10:22 |
| Travo18 | yeh what for?? | 10:22 |
| Aacron | why'd they go away from the 'root' thing? | 10:22 |
| Aacron | lol now I get to bug ya like a kid... Why? :)) | 10:22 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: Why do you think? | 10:23 |
| lb__ | hi! I have an image of a harddisk which might be in a fubar condition: $someone had NTFS on it before and accidentally installed a "use whole disk" ubuntu setup over it. $someone wanted to restore some documents. I tried foremost on it, but there was not any access on the hd at all. is there even a chance to recover stuff from that disk? it hasn't been written to except for, well, that OS installation. scalpel may be worth a try, too. or is it? | 10:23 |
| raylu | Aacron: because dumb people do dumb things, so taking away the tools from everyone reduces (but does not eliminate) the occurences of dumb things | 10:23 |
| Aacron | erm well if I think for a minute... mainly I have no clue but... cause its evil to be doign stuff in general as root? | 10:23 |
| fireking300 | Ubuntu extra effects awesome. | 10:23 |
| raylu | Aacron: no, root is not evil. dumb people doing dumb things is made evil-er when they are root. | 10:23 |
| Aacron | fireking300: yeah I think so too just wish I could have the extra effects without the wobbly window thing | 10:24 |
| maveas | Travo18: I've never heard of that.. | 10:24 |
| Aacron | raylu: in other words me doign things as root :)) | 10:24 |
| AdvoWork | raylu, Weust` thanks for the help. Think ive got a better understanding now. Once ive got an idea of the tasks my other user will be doing, I will put it into practice! | 10:24 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: Because too many breakage on account of silly users using root power. | 10:24 |
| Aacron | so if that is the case why they have sudo -s? :P | 10:24 |

| Aacron | sudo -s seems to be essentially the same as login: root right? | 10:25 |
| raylu | Aacron: because the people who wrote sudo aren't as confused as the people who decided to hide the existence of root | 10:25 |
| raylu | Aacron: yes, but a few environmental difference | 10:25 |
| raylu | s | 10:25 |
| Travo18 | maveas: it has done it again i load it and then it comes to a screen that says loading please wait then talks about ubuntu having absolutely no warranty and then to run a command as admin (user root) use sudo (command) see man sudo_root for details | 10:25 |
| mobi-sheep | fireking300: There are more to it. Try SHIFT + ALT + UP and you get Apple Expose. :0 | 10:25 |

| maveas | Travo18: Sounds weird.. not familiar with that.. | 10:28 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, such as what though? | 10:28 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: there are only a million ways to do this | 10:28 |
| Aacron | mobi-sheep: you completely lost me there. that root talking? to whom? why? do roots talk? :)) | 10:29 |

| meloni | i have resized a vmware server2 virtual machine but it still show the old values when i do a df -h. does it take time to show up the correct size? | 10:30 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: some people have a data server/NAS that contains users' /homes and the PCs boot off of a network drive. updates are then as simple as updating the image on the drive and a nightly scheduled reboot | 10:30 |
| Aacron | erm i don't have compiz (dunno what it is even). might have to look it up :D | 10:30 |
| ikonia | meloni: you'd need to extend the file system - not just the disk | 10:30 |
| fireking300 | o I mean mobi-sheep how do I open it up. | 10:31 |
| AdvoWork | raylu, we run a freenas file storage but thats for general files, other stuff is kept on users local pcs(that isnt important) :S | 10:31 |
| raylu | fireking300: sounds like you already have it installed and running. if you're talking about ccsm, system > prefs > compiz config settings manager, i think | 10:31 |
| fireking300 | Thanks Raylu | 10:31 |

| Guest66902 | hey anyone able to help me with a sound issue | 10:32 |
| e-frame | fireking300: ccsm or advance desktop effects settings | 10:32 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: you could set up automatic unattended updates and possibly mount /etc from that nas. alternatively, you could have it rsync files from that drive as needed | 10:32 |
| AdvoWork | raylu, is it like, run an update from a main pc, share that update history or similar, and repeat on other pcs? | 10:33 |
| AdvoWork | i can easily rsync any files if necessary | 10:33 |
| RoUdaY | oups, do anyone know a french channel ? | 10:33 |
| Aacron | if I keep installing things I'm gunna run outta room :)) btw... hrmm partition advice. dunno if its too late to resize the partitions or not but... | 10:33 |
| Travo18 | hey whats the best option for ubuntu it has come up with an error saying that it is running in low graphics mode and then i comes up with options to choose what to do like run in low graphics reconfigure graphics troubleshoot or exit?? | 10:33 |
| chilli0 | raylu: Hey i tryed adding that line , but no luck | 10:33 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: you could do it that way... but it's probably simpler to set up apt-mirror and point the other PCs apts to your mirror and have them update unattended | 10:34 |
| Guest66902 | when i play music in exile or from spotify i only get digital noise. just like it is compressed to 1bit instead of normal 16bit sound | 10:34 |
| xhema | raylu point is, on windows the networking works. on ubuntu only google resolves... fail | 10:34 |
| raylu | chilli0: i'd google around for your sound card, then | 10:34 |
| chilli0 | yhe k | 10:34 |
| AdvoWork | raylu, ahh ok, so pick the one main pc which will be the pc all the other ones copy their updates from? | 10:34 |
| fireking300 | It says in order for the water affect to be activated that I need to Hit <control><super> | 10:34 |
| Aacron | I did the /boot, swap, /, /home partition scheme... not sure if the sizes are right tho. evenly split 40GB (-100MB /boot, 2GB swap) to / and /home | 10:35 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: yes | 10:35 |
| fireking300 | What key is <super> | 10:35 |
| Guest66902 | it has worked fine for a long time but today??? | 10:35 |
| mobi-sheep | fireking300: Windows Flag. | 10:35 |
| Travo18 | maveas: any help?? hey whats the best option for ubuntu it has come up with an error saying that it is running in low graphics mode and then i comes up with options to choose what to do like run in low graphics reconfigure graphics troubleshoot or exit?? | 10:35 |
| raylu | Aacron: your / will never ever hit 40GB for desktop usage | 10:35 |
| fireking300 | ty | 10:35 |
| lb__ | fireking300: windows key | 10:35 |
| AdvoWork | raylu, ok thats cool. Finally what about being able to ssh into all the other pcs? | 10:35 |
| ajitam | hi question: can I set for one user (ssh access) to be locked in home directory ? | 10:35 |
| Aacron | raylu: oh... what size you recommend? | 10:35 |
| gerald | how do I move a file to another directory in ftp? | 10:35 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: just... configure ssh on them.. what do you mean? | 10:36 |
| mobi-sheep | !ssh | AdvoWork | 10:36 |
| Trentor | Aacrom what are you having rouble with, read a bit of previous | 10:36 |
| ubottu | AdvoWork: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 10:36 |
| raylu | Aacron: 5-10GB, unless you plan to host a large webserver or something | 10:36 |
| Palermo | hello | 10:36 |
| mobi-sheep | AdvoWork: Basically, install openssh-server on all of them, I suppose. | 10:36 |

| ubottu | Palermo, please see my private message | 10:37 |

| ubottu | Palermo: please see above | 10:37 |
| Travo18 | ah guten tag ubottu | 10:37 |
| fireking300 | Rain effect is awesome | 10:37 |
| Palermo | thank you | 10:37 |
| Trentor | No problem | 10:37 |
| maveas | Travo18: Try to reconfig | 10:38 |
| AdvoWork | mobi-sheep, and what about logging in to them, do i have to setup users on all of those pcs i assume? | 10:38 |
| AdvoWork | raylu, isnt that done via the apt-mirror though or? | 10:38 |
| Aacron | raylu: hrmm... I partitioned the / and /home into a logical partition... dunno if this is same as 'logical volume' where you can supposedly resize partitions on the fly... (?) but can I (somewhat) safely resize the partitions? | 10:38 |
| Travo18 | maveas: its ok i have overcome that problem | 10:38 |
| AdvoWork | ahh thats for updates isnt it | 10:38 |
| raylu | Aacron: yep. gparted will take care of you | 10:38 |
| raylu | Aacron: and no, this is not an LVM | 10:38 |
| Aacron | ohhh... figured it wasn't :P | 10:39 |
| maveas | Travo18: If you're from Germany then join the deutch channel - it becomes much easiere for you to talk native.. :) | 10:39 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: no, that just mirrors a part of the repositories | 10:39 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: You can safely resize the partitions from the LiveCD. You can't resize the partition you're currently on it. | 10:39 |
| raylu | AdvoWork: i'm talking about the rest of your configuration files. and you might want to install a package or 20 on all of the PCs at once | 10:39 |
| Travo18 | maveas: i am english with a little bit of german speaking but my first language is english | 10:39 |
| Aacron | mobi-sheep: ohh I see... cause you cant play with mounted drives, and gparted cant unmount it to resize it | 10:39 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: Bingo. | 10:40 |
| Aacron | so what was the thing with LVM? was I reading it correctly that linux dynamically resizes the partitions based on need? | 10:40 |
| maveas | Travo18: Nevermind then :-) | 10:40 |
| Flannel | Aacron: No, but with LVM you can resize them (more or less) freely. | 10:40 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 10:41 |
| Aacron | i.e. while mounted? | 10:41 |
| * Aacron reads | 10:41 | |
| AdvoWork | raylu, yeah i probably would. what would i do in that case? | 10:41 |
| Flannel | Aacron: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lvm/ gives you a rundown of LVM, with fancy pictures, and everything. | 10:41 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: Yes. With LVM, you can treat 3 HDD as a single gigantic partition. | 10:41 |
| Guest66902 | Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong. Playback of sound was all fine until to day. Now it sound like it is compressed to 1bit like musical noise. | 10:42 |
| Aacron | mobi-sheep: that sounds liek raid almost... erm concat(sp-somethign oranother) | 10:42 |
| Aacron | forget the raid # type for that. | 10:43 |
| * Aacron run soff to see... ooh shiny! | 10:43 | |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: With LVM, you can start out with a small size and increase the size as needed. Flexible. | 10:43 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: There also are #lvm channel. | 10:44 |
| Agion | hi, how can I kill some program's sounds? | 10:44 |
| AdvoWork | mobi-sheep, what about a user then for sshing in? do i have to make the same user on every single pc? | 10:46 |
| Guest66902 | Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong. Playback of sound was all fine until to day. Now it sound like it is compressed to 1bit like musical noise. I had a guy here to help me get cinelerra running. He claim to be very good linux user. But alot of things start to happen after he was here. Now i wonder if he has fucked up my system. Is there a way to resolve my sound issue. | 10:46 |

| enriq | hello... how to mount an os X´s .dmg file? | 10:47 |
| Aacron | mobi-sheep: seems pretty neat. if (or rather, when) I manage to screw up my linux installation, I think I'll give the LVM thing a shot. can see where it would be extremely handy | 10:47 |
| maxaga | 4 | 10:47 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: Use alternative disk. There are more choices in it -- Including lvm + encryption. | 10:48 |
| mobi-sheep | Aacron: There are guided partitioning for full disk lvm if you want that. | 10:48 |
| mobi-sheep | Agion: Look under Sound Preferences. There are things you can toggle off. | 10:48 |
| glickity | the public folders | 10:48 |
| glickity | what are those for | 10:48 |
| glickity | are those exported over the network or something? | 10:49 |
| Travo18 | is having half windows half ubuntu on a drive suitable you reckon or should i just go whole ubuntu? | 10:49 |
| glickity | Travo18, of course its suitable, it depends on what you want | 10:49 |
| glickity | if you need or want windows, then keep it | 10:49 |
| glickity | if you dont want it anymore then use ubuntu | 10:49 |
| Agion | mobi-sheep: I mean a program. I have it on and can't shut it down but I need pulse audio to work elsewhere | 10:50 |
| glickity | i personally obhor windows and avoid it like the plague on all my computers | 10:50 |
| Frantic | guys, I want to install ubuntu on a few PCs, I'm a Arch user, so don't really know the ubuntu images that well, afaik the iso images can't be written to a USB stick, I've checked a ubuntu mirror file list and didn't find a .img file, how can I install it from a usb stick? | 10:50 |
| fireking300 | The animations addon isn't working for compiz. | 10:51 |
| Aacron | Travo18: personally what I did was get a small-ish drive, put windows on it, then put my games and backup stuff on a seperate harddrive with it formatted with ext3 and use "ext2 for windows" | 10:51 |
| glickity | thats news to me Frantic cause i installed via usb | 10:51 |
| Frantic | glickity: with the .iso image? :) | 10:51 |
| mobi-sheep | !usb | Frantic | 10:52 |
| ubottu | Frantic: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 10:52 |
| glickity | Frantic, yes, there is a tool for linux that can convert an iso for use with usb | 10:52 |
| Guest66902 | Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong. Playback of sound was all fine until to day. I use the ALSA mixer. Now it sound like it is compressed to 1bit like musical noise.

Is there a way to resolve my sound issue. | 10:52 |
| Aacron | Travo18: since windows is notoriously easy to screw up, and doesn't recover from stuff very easily, this set-up works fairly well. If I see something in linux I just can't live without, or find a good linux game I like, I can just have it live on the 'games' drive | 10:52 |
| Aacron | Travo18: and I like keepign the same stuff for windows as well. that way if either/or/both OS's fail somehow, I still have my game files, and my backup stuff | 10:53 |
| AdvoWork | can i ssh to a ubuntu pc, going on computer name rather than ip address? | 10:53 |
| GreyGhost | Guest66902, tried changing the Device? | 10:54 |
| Aacron | AdvoWork: I'm not 100% sure on this but I think it would have to broadcast its name to the network so it would be registered with your LAN's DNS resolver | 10:54 |
| e-frame | AdvoWork: as long as the host is listed on /etc/hosts , you can do that | 10:55 |
| Aacron | AdvoWork: which may be one of the optiosn in network configuration | 10:55 |
| fireking300 | Mobi-sheep: I want the airplane effect to work in Compiz, is there some type of configuration I need to do? Because it isn't working | 10:55 |
| Ruge | hey guys, in need of some assistance ;) | 10:55 |
| Guest66902 | GreyHost: you mean the sound card? | 10:55 |
| Aacron | e-frame: shouldn't local DNS work as well (supposing his router supports it)? | 10:55 |
| Aacron | Ruge: whats up? | 10:56 |
| GreyGhost | Guest66902, no .. tight click on the sound icon in the top bar .. -> preferences.. | 10:56 |
| GreyGhost | try the other devices | 10:56 |
| mobi-sheep | fireking300: It does work. I remember seeing that in the past. Other than default compiz, I don't use anything. | 10:56 |
| eglandon1 | ok just installed ubuntu 9.04 and everytime i try and intall something new whether from synaptic, terminal, or add remove i keep getting an error (E: gnome-system-tools: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1), i have tried reinstalling gnome-system-tools with synaptic and again got the error | 10:56 |
| e-frame | Aacron: well, in case you have dns | 10:56 |
| Ruge | I uninstalling Ubuntu from my desktop (just using on my laptop). I deleted the partitions and ran "fixmbr" on my Windows XP Repair console, however I still get the GRUB Error 17 message (as if the fixmbr cannot edit the boot record) :| | 10:56 |
| fireking300 | well Random animations for all events works :p | 10:57 |
| Aacron | holy crapola its 6am here... time flies when you're in a "geeky computer-nerd looking up everythign under the sun with the new shiny linux distro that is actually easy (mostly) to use" mood..... | 10:57 |
| fireking300 | Its neat | 10:57 |
| Ruge | As a result my PC will no longer boot (it was dualbooting) | 10:57 |
| e-frame | Ruge: look for fixboot | 10:58 |
| mobi-sheep | fireking300: :3 | 10:58 |
| Aacron | Ruge: run fixboot as well? | 10:58 |

| AdvoWork | e-frame, Aacron the problem is, a pc may change its ip address, so then how would i ssh to it? | 10:59 |
| kPb_in | any1 using zendframework package in jaunty?? | 10:59 |
| GreyGhost | eglandon1, use pastebin please | 10:59 |
| Aacron | AdvoWork: well, you could do static IPs if you are concerned about this | 10:59 |
| mobi-sheep | AdvoWork: It is possible to ssh into using names, but I don't know how to do it myself. I think that's related to nameservers or such. DNS. Also, if you have 10 PC or so, you might want to consider passwordless ssh for easier access. :) | 10:59 |
| kPb_in | i think theres some bug in it... when i enable it, apache stops working | 10:59 |
| eglandon1 | my appologies i did not intend to do that | 10:59 |
| e-frame | AdvoWork: assign their fix IP allocation using dhcp | 10:59 |
| mobi-sheep | AdvoWork: Ask in #ubuntu-server. They may help you (if they're still active). | 11:00 |
| Aacron | or do what e-frame said... most routers support static DHCP mappings | 11:00 |

| mobi-sheep | AdvoWork: By generating an unique ssh key (individually for your machine) first, you then proceed to ssh in and give your machine that ssh key. When sshing in, it'll check for keys and if it matches, no password. :3 | 11:17 |

| VirusTB | zortec: which one how do i do it | 12:48 |
| zortec | VirusTB: You can install it through synaptic. Get medibuntu or restricted-extras I believe will also have the odecs. | 12:49 |
| Travo18 | bazhang: i would say no because it said that the driver is not activated | 12:49 |
| Travo18 | should i activate it | 12:49 |

| Travo18 | Nvidia accelerated graphics driver | 12:50 |
| fireking300 | what does the command fdisk -l do? | 12:50 |
| zortec | kinja-sheep: Yeah I was thinking it might be compiz. It's just strange behavior to have the windows minimized in the top right and then fade back into view | 12:50 |
| bazhang | Travo18, yes activate it | 12:50 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, its at medibuntu.org check their instructions | 12:50 |
| VirusTB | zortec: " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" right? | 12:50 |
| zortec | kinja-sheep: thought maybe there was a way to control that behavior | 12:50 |
| VirusTB | baz k thanks | 12:50 |

| nnookk | What is the easiest way to visualise differences between vanilla Ubuntu and such spin-offs as Mint or Crunchbang? | 13:11 |
| KlingaN | kinja-sheep: Does 8.04 support Compiz? Is the difference between 8.10 and 8.04 big? | 13:11 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: Why not? 8.04 is LTS release. Very stable. Especially when you don't want to play around with settings for your on-the-go portable laptop. | 13:12 |
| nnookk | Also, is it possible to do a minimal install from Ubiquity or server installer? | 13:12 |
| bazhang | nnookk, come discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:12 |
| bazhang | nnookk, yes for the minimal | 13:12 |
| bazhang | !minimal > nnookk | 13:12 |
| ubottu | nnookk, please see my private message | 13:12 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: There are noticeable big differences, sure. Lot of things happened in interval of 6-month releases. | 13:12 |
| KlingaN | kinja-sheep: Oh, so 8.10 isn't very stable? I heard there was two new versions (9.04 and 9.10) being devoped so I thought 8.04 was an old version | 13:13 |
| MMcGee | Hey, can someone help me with a funny problem? | 13:13 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: 8.10 is stable. Yes. | 13:13 |
| KlingaN | kinja-sheep: But it lacks some hardware support/drivers? | 13:13 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: For more information, read more about LTS -- It's useful for productive environment. | 13:14 |
| kinja-sheep | !lts | KlingaN | 13:14 |
| ubottu | KlingaN: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04) | 13:14 |
| jerroome | Hi, does anyone know how I can convert a debian package into an rpm ? | 13:14 |
| kinja-sheep | !alien | jerroome | 13:14 |
| ubottu | jerroome: 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) | 13:14 |
| jerroome | but I don't want to install a rpm package, I would like to create one | 13:15 |
| jerroome | converting from debian to redhat | 13:15 |
| KlingaN | kinja-sheep: But I was reading on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133 and there were a lot of fixes with the 8.04, you had to do many things manually | 13:15 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: LTS is something that people would want to install -- such as school environment and such. Work environment, etc. | 13:15 |

| Name1 | Hello wow this works | 13:16 |
| KlingaN | kinja-sheep: Yes, depending on it. That's what I've been trying to fix. Everything worked - until i downloaded the VIA driver to add XRandR (which seems to be a manager/support for screens?) so I could use my external display | 13:16 |
| skillz | name it does | 13:17 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: I suggest you to work with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133 -- That's all I can say. | 13:17 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: I have a netbook myself but I'm willing to give up VGA especially because that's something I don't use 99% of the time. | 13:18 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: But if you do use VGA (very often), then I understand your situation. | 13:18 |
| skillz | kinja so does it have like two graphics cards?? | 13:19 |
| kinja-sheep | KlingaN: It's a netbook. Wouldn't be a netbook if you rely on VGA often. :3 | 13:19 |
| kinja-sheep | !tab | skillz | 13:20 |
| ubottu | skillz: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:20 |
| MMcGee | Anyone know why my apache install is accessible from its WAN address but doesn't respond on its LAN address? | 13:21 |
| kinja-sheep | skillz: No. Netbook use a single graphic card. Just that the graphic card "push" more pixels out (assuming it already can handle it since VGA was included in the hardware too). | 13:21 |

But I've read every single word on the LaptopTestingTeam-site and the subsite for adapting your display ../LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133/DisplayConfig810 and tried the different drivers and Xorg Configs.

| kinja-sheep | gangil: Latest one, perhaps? | 13:24 |
| bazhang | gangil, whichever is recommended in Hardware Drivers | 13:24 |
| KlingaN | kinja-sheep: And it says there that you _can_ get multiple monitor support even with the 3D-drivers (which I use) _and_ use Compiz at the same time. There is also a solution where you use two different Xservers for each screen. You can enable XRandR aswell (but this messes up Compiz) for multiple monitor support with the 3D-drivers. I just havn't got it to work. I changed all the values in the xorg.config from 1280x756 to 1024x600 (sin | 13:25 |

| zagabar1 | Crazyguy, The size must be more than 65 mbytes. | 13:48 |
| zagabar1 | gigabytes is more likely | 13:48 |
| Crazyguy | zagabar1, what are you trying to do? | 13:48 |
| zagabar1 | Crazyguy, Check the total size of /home | 13:48 |

| zopiac | kinja-sheep: minimal disk? | 14:08 |

| ubottu | zopiac: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

| makuseru | I have a line that I run in a terminal to convert video, but it's a pain have to type all of it in each time, or copy/paste. How could I go about writing a simple script to where I can just point it at the input and tell it where to write the output and then the script runs(with the line of code in it) and it converts it. | 15:29 |
| aurilliance | makuseru: isn't a .sh script what you want? | 15:30 |
| makuseru | Yes. | 15:31 |
| Vlet | makuseru: what's the command? Perhaps you could simply make an alias out of it | 15:31 |
| Vlet | see your ~/.bash_aliases file | 15:31 |
| kinja-sheep | makuseru: If it's just a single line -- You might want alias. Otherwise, you want script if you want to keep your script for furthur purposes. | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | makuseru: simple | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | makuseru: open a text editor | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | makuseru: top line must be: #!/bin/bash | 15:32 |
| mbeierl1 | the "find" command in Linux is probably your best bet. It allows you to recursively find files and act upon them | 15:32 |
| mbeierl1 | makuseru: ^ | 15:32 |
| makuseru | ActionParsnip: Alright. | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | makuseru: then type your command but replace the filenames you use with $1 and $2 and so on | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | makuseru: then save the text file, chmod +x it so that its executable and you have a killer script | 15:33 |
| aurilliance | ActionParsnip: ^ nice guide :P I was also wondering how to get args in .sh-es | 15:33 |

| aurilliance | :P | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | aurilliance: i script everything ;) | 15:33 |
| makuseru | ActionParsnip: And so to run it it would just be script name input output? | 15:33 |
| aurilliance | that's the way to do it! ^ | 15:33 |
| makuseru | Awesome. | 15:34 |
| UbuntuR0ks | It is also a good idea to put the script in a directory that is already in your path or else add the directory for your script in your path | 15:34 |
| kinja-sheep | makuseru: Place the script in /home/makuseru/bin | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | makuseru: yes, provided you put the $1s where the input file is and $2s where the output filename is | 15:34 |

| daemoof | Looking for help installng ubuntu easypeasy onto acer aspireONE, currently lookiing at GParted, the drive I am wanting to install buntu on is /dev/sda1 but the mountpoint is /cdrom [read the man mount (which made me chuckle) then read umount] but unsure as to how to proceed. Kinda fresh an d new to linux, though not totally fraked by the command line, previous exp in VAX decades ago, hardcore addicted mudder, and also former OSX use | 15:42 |
| daemoof | r (pre-wintel/crustomer service bein all industrifried and ((genius))) | 15:42 |
| daemoof | hmm | 15:42 |
| Vlet | ActionParsnip: yeah... that's my point | 15:42 |
| daemoof | so how do I umount from /cdrom | 15:43 |
| daemoof | seems GParted wants me t do it manually | 15:43 |
| \\`oot | Vlet: What the hell then... what am I doing wrong?! (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> X-Chat | 15:43 |

| morris1 | oh and another thing. there is, at present, NO way to get the proprietary ati driver running in ubuntu 9.04, is that correct? i'll have to wait until ati releases new drivers | 15:43 |

| mbeierl1 | daemoof: I've had better experience using the Ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 instead of easypeasy | 15:43 |

| Dr_Willis | !freenode | skillz | 15:44 |
| ubottu | skillz: freenode is Freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml. Freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml. The ubuntu channels on Freenode also have their own !guidelines | 15:44 |

| daemoof | the dating/revisions of ubuntu.. what is their methodology.. was told there was oe? | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | daemoof: ubuntu 9.04 - relased on the 4th month of 2009 | 15:44 |
| mbeierl1 | daemoof: well, this is the ubuntu support channel, so you'll find more people here use ubuntu than other distros | 15:44 |

| Vlet | \\`oot: not sure what's with all those other packages... weird eh | 15:45 |
| daemoof | thats all i got to runn now | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | daemoof: ubuntu has to be one of the best/easiest disrtos to use - that ive seen. and ive seen a lot. | 15:45 |
| daemoof | thats what i heard | 15:45 |
| daemoof | just unsure bout this mounting bs | 15:45 |
| kinja-sheep | cannonball: Where did you get the repo for Chromium? | 15:45 |
| daemoof | any surefiree way to termiinalize through the umount process? | 15:46 |
| \\`oot | Vlet: Yes, quite... let me see what this turns out to be, I'll try running it and hopefully leave/return shortly | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | daemoof: learn how the system works.. all linux use 'mount' as the underlaying method to access files. | 15:46 |
| daemoof | or does it take rewrite of fstab or something?? think i read that | 15:46 |
| Nationiant | Is it possible to set a panel that it isn't always on top? | 15:46 |
| ciphergoth | my panel applet has stopped showing the weather, anyone know how it works? | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | daemoof: ive missed your original problem,. fstab is for read by the mount command and can define options for specific mount points/devices.. or you can do it all from the command line. | 15:46 |
| cannonball | kinja-sheep: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 15:46 |
| daemoof | read through the man, my man, yes, though i must say the discovery of easier pagethroughs of helps was exciting to me, (such a noobian) | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | daemoof: theres 1000's of docs and guides and books on linux. start with the basics. work your way up. | 15:47 |
| xubu_ntu | how to enable desktop effects like cube in ubuntu ? what needs to be installed ? | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !cube | xubu_ntu | 15:47 |
| ubottu | xubu_ntu: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » | 15:47 |
| mbeierl1 | daemoof: while easypeasy is based on ubuntu 8.10, it's not the same as the new ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix, which is more "officially" supported and can be downloaded directly from ubuntu.com | 15:47 |
| cannonball | Following the key id from that page, I eventually get to http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5, but not sure how import that into apt/aptitude. | 15:47 |

| cannonball | kinja-sheep: :-D Yay for breakage. | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | daemoof: you normally cant do things to a hard drive it its being accessed. so be sure the disk is unmounted. I used the Ubuntu netbook remix image on a flash drive to install my AcerAspireOne. I found Easypeasy lacking in ways. | 15:51 |
| daemoof | well | 15:51 |

| Dr_Willis | daemoof: if you want to whipe the hard drive - i normally boot a distro from a flash drive. and use gparted and just 'delete' all parittiosn.. or use the 'fdisk' command and delete them that way - if gparted is being a pain. of course Most installers will also delete all the partiotions for you if you tell them to do so. | 15:52 |

| ghaleb | Dr_Willis, then I think this is more logical dd if=/dev/zero of=eFiles/eFilesDrive count=10000M bs=1024k | 16:15 |
| cabrey | knasto, if you go to update-manger, click check for updates, it might downgrade the packages | 16:15 |
| agey | thank you all | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ghaleb: that looks more normal | 16:16 |
| knasto | cabrey, i did it says no updates available. does that mean i don't actually have any proposed updates installed? | 16:16 |

| Halabund | I have some trouble with graphics on Jaunty: 1. full-screen windows flicker badly when tooltips are shown 2. 3D graphics in Mathematica only appear when they are being rotated, but not otherwise. This is not fixed by turning off desktop effects. | 16:18 |

| s0c | geirha, I use window maker, not gnome | 16:25 |
| digitalfiz | knasto, its in preferences you can turn it off by unchecking "Show marker line" | 16:25 |

| geirha | s0c: A google for "xmodmap" might help too | 16:27 |
| mdm | ghaleb, M means 1024x1024, you asked it for 10,000 of them. And k means 1024, so you asked for 1024 of them | 16:27 |
| fasta | I thought IMAP was supposed to solve that problem, so it is probably just some configuration option. | 16:27 |

| wiehan | how do I access another PC on the network with nautilus using the IP address only? | 16:40 |
| mbeierl1 | ehazlett: oh. over my head - it looks like you've hit a bug. did you try "ulimit -c unlimited" prior to executing the command to see if you can get a core dump? | 16:40 |
| fccf | wiehan: ubuntu machine? | 16:40 |
| mdm | ehazlett, its a program used to define a process that has a file or socket open and then act accodingly. There is a reason the posix switches are f, u, c and k | 16:40 |
| kinja-sheep | wiehan: There are... "Connec to Server" | 16:40 |
| ehazlett | mdm: yeah, i know what it is -- i was just having trouble with it | 16:40 |
| ehazlett | mbeierl1: thx | 16:40 |
| kinja-sheep | wiehan: Conncet To Server (under File) | 16:40 |
| wiehan | fccf: yes, ubuntu machine | 16:40 |
| wiehan | kinja-sheep: there is a better way something like smb:///Ip... | 16:41 |
| fccf | if openssh is installed on the machine you can use ssh://ip | 16:41 |
| mdm | ehazlett, if you do that on a directory it will look to see what processes it is associated with, ie what has it open, since you told it k, it will send kill signals to each of those processes | 16:41 |
| mbeierl1 | ehazlett: for the little I could provide, you're welcome. maybe another here has hit this problem before? | 16:41 |
| kinja-sheep | wiehan: You asked for it in Nautilus. There are Samba share too in Nautilus (Connect To Server). | 16:41 |
| mdm | ehazlett, that included you, your shell so when you do it on a directory your shell has open, you kill your own shell | 16:42 |
| kinja-sheep | wiehan: Samba Share = Windows Share. | 16:42 |
| wiehan | kinja-sheep: which option do I use | 16:42 |
| mbeierl1 | ehazlett: sorry - I was thinking fuse (as in the file system) not fuse/r/ | 16:42 |
| kinja-sheep | wiehan: But if you're connecting to Ubuntu machine from other Ubnutu machine. You can use ssh instead. | 16:43 |
| _Brun0_ | !freespeak | 16:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about freespeak | 16:43 |
| fccf | !msgthebot | _Brun0_ | 16:43 |
| ubottu | _Brun0_: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 16:43 |
| mdm | kinja-sheep, samba used SMB sharing, something microsoft did not invent, and put into its os. It predates tcp | 16:43 |

| itguru | My linux setup has two NIC in it, and one is a direct connection to the internet, the other is to a different LAN, which also has a gateway on it - When the LAN interface is active, all internet tries to go through that interface. how can I force linux to use the default route of the second interface? | 16:43 |
| kinja-sheep | mdm: I was talking about the name under File --> Connect to Server --> Windows Share. | 16:44 |
| _Brun0_ | I just found FreeSpeak! It is a translation front-end for engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. | 16:44 |
| rodolfo_ | mbeierl1: oh no..1 hour dowload..what happens if my connection fails? | 16:44 |
| ehazlett | mdm: i thought that if you used the "-m" switch, it only killed processes that have opened files in that directory | 16:44 |
| mbeierl1 | rodolfo_: you can use the same command again later and it will pick up where it left off. It caches the files in the apt cache (/var/cache/apt) | 16:45 |
| mdm | ehazlett, -m means mounted, you give it a name and anything that is using that directory and everything under that directory | 16:45 |

| ehazlett | mdm: so, if i am in my home, directory and run 'fuser -km /opt/temp' it should only kill what has opened files in /opt/temp fight | 16:46 |

| wiehan | kinja-sheep: yes, and nautilus doesn't see the other ubuntu machines shares | 16:48 |
| davidsoutar | Is there way to tell the live cd that there is no hard drive ? | 16:48 |
| mdm | ehazlett, its also posible it was talking to gnome, and fuser faithfully followed the path to gnome and killed it. Fuser is not exactly an elegant program | 16:49 |
| davidsoutar | or just to ignore it till post boot? | 16:49 |
| mdm | ehazlett, ESPECAILLY since fuser is a posix compliance program and linux is not fully compliant | 16:49 |
| kinja-sheep | wiehan: Ubuntu is very nice in security. First, install openssh-server. This way, you can open your Ubuntu machine in nautilus. | 16:49 |
| ehazlett | mdm: gotcha | 16:49 |

| mdm | makuseru, you can execute a script even if it is not executable | 16:51 |
| makuseru | Ah | 16:51 |

| krishna_ | kinja-sheep, i know to see hidden files.. thanks... but you sent "purple" alone in first time... | 16:53 |
| krishna_ | not .purple | 16:53 |
| kinja-sheep | krishna_: My condolence. :) | 16:53 |
| krishna_ | kinja-sheep, thanks 2 u | 16:53 |
| fccf | phoenixz: the -X opens brings the entire X session from the remote to your local machine ... -Y just brings the specified command to your local X session, meaning that the remote technically doesn't have to run X | 16:53 |
| phoenixz | fccf: so -Y is easier actually... hhhmmm, thanks! | 16:54 |

| mickster04 | is there an NBR specific channel somewhere? | 16:56 |
| kinja-sheep | bassliner: Can't you move a bit and lock? | 16:56 |
| kinja-sheep | bassliner: Or is that Notifcation Area? | 16:56 |
| bassliner | kinja-sheep: i could. but i get tired of doing this all the time, especially since i like to have shitloads of icons on my panels because that's what such a panel is for. | 16:56 |
| bassliner | kinja-sheep: probably it would just be easier to use xfce which handles stuff like this correctly, but why should i? i'm here to try to find a solution rather than a workaround. | 16:57 |
| kinja-sheep | bassliner: You need to figure out if that's xfce4-terminal bug or audacious bug then file a bug report. | 16:57 |
| bassliner | kinja-sheep: those are application LAUNCHER icons. has nothing to do with the notification area. | 16:58 |
| bassliner | kinja-sheep: it happens with shitloads of other icons too, especially firefox and thunderbird. so i extremely doubt it is. also, again, there is a 0px distance between them, which just makes the panel look squashing stuff together. | 16:58 |
| Pici | bassliner: Please mind your language here. | 16:58 |
| bassliner | errm. | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | and here i just middle click and move the icons out a bit... then again..i only got 4 icon launchers on my single panel. | 16:59 |

| === lonely_man_need_ is now known as goodnight_girl | ||
| Pici | bassliner: That said, I wonder if there is a gconf key that governs how much padding there is between panel launchers. | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | #gnome people may know. | 17:00 |
| bassliner | Pici: i don't see anything harsh about it. however, i also doubt there is a gconf key. i'm living with this problem for YEARS now (sorry to caps that, but it slightly annoys me hehe) and i try to find a solution, especially i want to find out why fedora doesn't have that problem anymore as of f11. | 17:01 |
| bassliner | Pici: i mean, i want to find out if the gnome project indeed changed it and it isn't in ubuntu still or something. | 17:01 |

| om26er | portforwarding help plz | 17:02 |
| om26er | ?? | 17:02 |
| bassliner | om26er: if really the computer you want to set port forwarding on is not your desktop machine that sits behind a NAT router, then probably the easiest and sanest way is having a look at basic iptables stuff. | 17:02 |
| brainsonfire | www.portforward.com | 17:02 |
| edbian | Halabund: It will read the tags. In my experience it has never re-written any. I'm not even sure it can. | 17:02 |

| bassliner | kinja-sheep: thanks for the link but that's not what i've been looking for and i've already read this. it discusses the vertical paddings on top and bottom of icons, not the padding of icons to each other. | 17:04 |
| brainsonfire | om26er: it helps on configuring your router as well | 17:04 |

| djsub | g un petit souci avec mon wifi sous ubuntu je n'arrive pas a la déclarer pouver m'aider svp merci =) | 18:01 |
| mdm | help set it up sure, help with hading your identity so you can do illegal actions, no | 18:01 |
| jasonbourne | mbeier11: yes i need to configure the files | 18:01 |
| kinja-sheep | Curtis_B: grep "checking up on" * ? | 18:01 |
| mdm | nobody runs a free open vpn server, it would be counter to what a vpn is for to begin with | 18:02 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: and I assume you have openvpn plugin for network manager installed? or no? | 18:02 |
| mezquitale | anyone knows what sample rate they recommend me using? 48000 or 41000? | 18:02 |
| mbeierl1 | mdm: I misunderstood his question. that is not what he's trying to do. I apologize for the implication that was what he wass after | 18:02 |
| jasonbourne | mdm: you have no clue what you are talking about vpn is used for many things in the grownup world of jobs and suh | 18:02 |
| Devilsprey99 | anyone here uses gyachi | 18:02 |
| jasonbourne | als there are many free vpn servers | 18:03 |
| jasonbourne | cyber-ghost hot spotsheild | 18:03 |
| jasonbourne | etc | 18:03 |
| kinja-sheep | priest: Toolchain? | 18:03 |
| nibbler_ | thousands use hamachi, for exactly this purpose | 18:03 |
| mdm | jasonbourne, then take your grownup world and go read the howto | 18:03 |
| jasonbourne | mdm: why dont you just ignore me then | 18:03 |
| mezquitale | mdm, you sound like a mac guy. A lot of people use openvpn and open source software, you have to open your eyes and look at the real world | 18:04 |
| jasonbourne | mdm: ok internet toughguy | 18:04 |
| om26er | how to set auto mount | 18:04 |
| jasonbourne | mezquitale: exactly he assumes vpn=illegal lol | 18:04 |
| trapa | I have a question, I run a nice big LED scrolling sign off my linux machine. In debian, i just had a script i ran in a shell, and it just sat in that shell running all day long. Never a problem. In ubuntu, after a while .. the sign stops. The script doesn't seem to be communicating to the serial port. If i press a button (and bring the console out of screen saver), then the sign starts updaing again. | 18:04 |
| om26er | ikonia: is there a way that te drive automatically mount at the startup | 18:04 |
| jasonbourne | how about vpn= encrypted connection | 18:04 |

| === xanith_ is now known as Xanith | ||
| bzrk | jasonbourne: so you entrust your company secrets to another company? lol | 18:05 |
| trapa | I have since made this process a daemon hoping that would solve the issue but it has not. Also the serial doesn't stop the instant the screen saver kicks in .. it's quite delayed. Any suggestions? | 18:05 |
| mdm | mezquitale, I dint say vpn was illegal, I have it setup myself. Open vpn servers? free vpn server? thats like asking for a anonmys web proxy so you can bypass your schools security policy | 18:05 |
| mezquitale | RkyRaccoon, is the wireless printer already set up?? Does it have an ip and can you ping it? | 18:05 |
| nibbler_ | jasonbourne: vpn by definition does not have to be encrypted | 18:05 |
| mdm | VPN implies TRUST, its why the keys are done. Anoymous, free is counter to that | 18:05 |
| RkyRaccoon | mezquitale: its my dads, ive never used it before. IT works for him so i think its all set up | 18:06 |
| jasonbourne | yeah i have the key files and all that | 18:06 |
| jasonbourne | geez nevermind | 18:06 |
| nibbler_ | mdm: vpn does not implie trust | 18:06 |
| jasonbourne | ill figure it out myself | 18:06 |
| jasonbourne | just trying to see if anyone had a quick way to do it in UBUNTU as i am a Ubuntu newbie | 18:06 |
| kinja-sheep | trapa: Make it a script? That way you don't have to execute and leave the console open? | 18:07 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: did you install the openvpn plugin for network manager? | 18:07 |
| bzrk | jasonbourne: openvpn setup does not differ between distributions | 18:07 |
| thais | oi | 18:07 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: network-manager-openvpn | 18:07 |
| thais | tudo bem | 18:07 |
| mezquitale | mdm, ever heard of something called "freedom"?? vpn is just at the bottom of the pile. That is why I use ubuntu because I trust ubuntu more than a closed system I have no idea if it really works, cant question its security and its EULA further states their crap doesnt really work and theyre not responsible for how you use their software and how badly it screws your life | 18:07 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: it's what I used for my work and it gives an easy wizard to configure it | 18:07 |
| trapa | kinja-sheep: It was a script for testing and it worked even left in a console window ... later when i started having this problem i made it into a perl daemon. At a suggestion that maybe daemons get more privileges when its' in screen saver mode. But it always was a perl script. | 18:08 |
| bzrk | mezquitale: spare us the brianwash talk please | 18:08 |
| jasonbourne | mebeier: ok let me check | 18:08 |
| hemanth | how do add extra space to "/" in the current session , without live cd , I have gparted with me | 18:08 |
| jasonbourne | where can i find the network manager | 18:08 |
| mezquitale | !ask| bzrk | 18:08 |
| ubottu | bzrk: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 18:08 |
| bzrk | mezquitale: lol where do you see a question? | 18:09 |
| Randomtime | jasonbourne: it should be top right | 18:09 |
| jasonbourne | also bzrk I can use open vpn with no problems on windows an cant on Ubuntu so they do differ | 18:09 |
| bzrk | mezquitale: i was telling you to quit spouting propaganga | 18:09 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: sorry, ok, it's the little network icon thing that allows you to connect to wireless networks, etc | 18:09 |
| trapa | kinja-sheep: What i was thinking, is maybe there's a config file that says the serial port is part of acpi and i should remove it from being acpi .. Or maybe there's a file that tells certain daemons to not sleep and i haven't added my daemon script to it ... Or maybe i'm just stupid and did my daemon wrong. | 18:09 |
| mezquitale | bzrk, it is a question you want to ask but are afraid to ask, dont be afraid, if youre afraid you wont make any money, just go on ahead and ask | 18:10 |
| kinja-sheep | trapa: Try asking in #bash too -- Maybe they know about daemons where scripts are to be run at interval times and such. | 18:10 |
| jasonbourne | mbeir" ok i see and there is a tap for vpn | 18:10 |
| jasonbourne | tab* | 18:10 |
| trapa | kinja-sheep: Okay, thanks! Looks like i'm off to my job interview now. Thanks for the help. Talk with you guys again later. | 18:10 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: ok, so if you "sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn" it will then add "OpenVPN" to the connection type you can add | 18:10 |
| kinja-sheep | trapa: Good luck. :) | 18:10 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about yahoo lepine1 | 18:14 |
| jasonbourne | mbeier: im running that command you said and it seems to be working | 18:14 |
| kinja-sheep | !yahoo | lepine1 | 18:14 |
| ubottu | lepine1: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. | 18:14 |
| edbian | sotomayor: Ask more* specific questions. | 18:14 |
| sotomayor | well for starters how do i get the utmost of security from the 8.10 L.T.S hardy version i'm using | 18:14 |
| mezquitale | sotomayor, it depends on what you want to do and your machine, if you have a fast machine i suggest you try kubuntu or ubuntu, i use ubuntustudio myself because of all the multimedia appz, it's either ubuntustudio for me or ubuntu | 18:14 |
| lepine1 | thanks kinja-sheep | 18:14 |
| jasonbourne | so do I go to add or import | 18:15 |
| jasonbourne | i guess i can play around with it | 18:15 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: ok... add | 18:15 |
| sotomayor | well i'm not all that familiar with any of this ubuntu stuff but i will try and understand what your saying | 18:15 |
| jasonbourne | mbeier"ok cool | 18:15 |
| edbian | sotomayor: Just so you know I am not an absolute expert on security but I do have some good news for you. Linux is a very secure operating system. It is designed fundamentally different than windows. | 18:15 |
| kinja-sheep | sotomayor: Your machine is already secured. | 18:15 |
| sotomayor | well i feel better already knowing that | 18:15 |

| lepine1 | kinja-sheep: connection refused. Is there a list of servers available somewhere? | 18:16 |
| jasonbourne | Mebeir: amazing how easy and not offtopic it is once you talk to somebody that know what they are talking about | 18:16 |
| sotomayor | but i know my isp is very sneaky and i caught them doing some nasty stuff to my pc when i was running xp and vista | 18:16 |
| kinja-sheep | lepine1: You might want to update Pidgin to v2.5.7 | 18:17 |
| kinja-sheep | lepine1: "Yahoo problems are fixed in 2.5.7. " | 18:17 |
| mbeierl1 | jasonbourne: well... ya, but I was mislead by your question at first too :) | 18:17 |
| sotomayor | edbian where are you? | 18:17 |

| ZykoticK9 | warren_, I checked on my EEE (which also has Intel) and sure enough "Tungsten Grahpics, Inc" came up for Vendor -- it appears that this is part of Mesa -- which isn't the ideal graphics driver, but does appear to be the Intel DRI driver. | 19:24 |

| elzary | timposey, are they not in places>network ? | 19:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snicks|TWw, for what I read prior to that post it appears that this is really a Windows only sorta device? not sure you'll just be able to mount it - Sony most likely doesn't want the device simply showing up as a drive - too easy to pirate that way ;) | 19:28 |

| timposey | elzary no, it says "Unable to mount location Failed to receive share list from server | 19:30 |
| jrib | incorrect: what bug? | 19:30 |
| Snicks|TWw | ZykoticK9, why all the posts are speaking of an already mounted device? imo it has to mount automatically, that's the only thing what has to be done | 19:30 |
| timposey | ecolitan; not sure the difference | 19:30 |
| ecolitan | incorrect: i think that gcc is normally a simlink to the actual binary | 19:30 |
| ecolitan | incorrect: maybe just change that? | 19:30 |

| Snicks|TWw | ZykoticK9, it's not mine, just have to mount it. should be easily done with a command, but i never know which command and which device-name | 19:31 |
| ecolitan | timposey: are you trying to share something which is on your ubuntu machine? | 19:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snicks|TWw, in a terminal type "dmesg" then plug the device in (turn it on), and type "dmesg" again - should show you what sd# it's showing up as - then "sudo mount /dev/sdX /mnt" should do it :) | 19:33 |

| ZykoticK9 | ldimick, it's not quite as simple as adding DSL kernel to Ubuntu -- Ubuntu and DSL are distributions, theoretically they could be using the same kernel (they're not, but in theory it's possible).

| sebsebseb | Rasmus: depends on the games you want to play, there are also good native Linux games out there | 20:09 |
| Rasmus | no | 20:09 |
| edbian | Rasmus: Just so you know, the only argument you really have there is "games". But I think we can help you install XP anyway. (Even though it makes me cringe). | 20:09 |
| Rasmus | :) | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: you can dual boot, XP and Ubuntu | 20:10 |
| Rasmus | haha, thanks | 20:10 |
| Rasmus | how | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: then play your 3D Windows games or whatever on XP, and use Ubuntu for other stuff :) | 20:10 |
| Rasmus | yes thats what i want | 20:10 |
| edbian | Rasmus: Well the easiest way is to install windows first and then install ubuntu second. Ubuntu knows how to set up a dual boot. Windows does not. | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: also with enough RAM, you can actsauly virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu, good for a lot of stuff, not 3D gaming though | 20:10 |

| sebsebseb | edbian: right, but he has Ubuntu already on there. Also he might not be the type of person that will install Ubuntu afterwoulds, once Windows is on there | 20:11 |
| UbuntuR0ks | The downside of dual-boot is that you have to reboot to switch. | 20:11 |
| Pici | Rasmus: Just format over it. | 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | zleap: Wubi is bad | 20:11 |
| edbian | zleap: WUBI is different. portable ubuntu is more like a virtual machine. | 20:11 |

| Rasmus | issues?? | 20:14 |
| Rasmus | im swedish you know | 20:15 |
| aiw | icq not irc | 20:15 |
| edbian | Rasmus: Probably because your entire harddrive is formatted ext3 (for ubuntu) and windows does not read ext3. You need to repartition and make some "unallocated" space available for the XP install. (around 2 GB is required for the OS + your personal files) | 20:15 |
| b100 | Ah, it's some kind of pulse audio problem, reading about it | 20:15 |

| Rasmus | sebsebseb: ubuntu cd | 20:24 |
| edbian | Rasmus: There are 2 types of ubuntu installer CD's. The first is called a live CD you can literally run a full ubuntu operating system (desktop) from this CD. It allows you to install the OS to the HDD as well. The second is called an "alternative installer cd" It allows you to install ubuntu but not run the OS from the CD. | 20:24 |
| sebsebseb | Guest91187: Virtualbox is usaully better | 20:24 |
| ikonia | Rasmus: what are you trying to do ? | 20:24 |

| edbian | (XP) | 20:25 |
| Rasmus | edbian: iw got an alternative installer csd | 20:25 |
| edbian | Rasmus: In order to repartition and make room for an XP install you need to get a live CD and resize things using an app called gparted (comes by default on an ubuntu live CD) | 20:25 |
| Rasmus | ok but i installed gparted | 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: let's just be sure what CD you have first | 20:26 |
| Rasmus | edbian: iw installed gparted | 20:26 |
| edbian | Rasmus: There are other LIVE cd's available that have much less software than an ubuntu live cd but will do the job just as well and are smaller so you can download them quicker. Google | 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: your on Ubuntu now ok, so put in the CD | 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: then it should show the CD on the desktop, what is it's name? | 20:26 |
| Rasmus | wait | 20:27 |
| edbian | Rasmus: I am sorry that I didn't stop you eariler. You cannot use gparted on your current install because you are mounted on the partitions you are trying to edit. You cannot alter partitions that you have mounted and it is impossible to unmount "/" for example. | 20:27 |
| xiong | sorry to grovel excessively but please tell me, if this question doesn't belong here, where? i need help on evolution, the mail client -- i'm not a rabid creationist | 20:27 |

| Rasmus | edbian: it dont stand but i know its no live cd!! | 20:31 |
| Kanappa | Rasmus: Boot it and repartition the drive to make room for the new system (Should work equally well with a standard Ubuntu CD) | 20:31 |
| geirha | bsmith_: Just install the ddclient package and fill in the appropriate information it asks for. sudo aptitude install ddclient | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: ok try this | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: try and boot the computer from that CD, hopefuly you have the live session option :) | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: then you can come back on IRC once that's booted | 20:31 |
| edbian | Rasmus: We need a live cd to repartition. You can use either the ubuntu one (download able from their website) or some other variation that is usually smaller but more complicated to understand. | 20:31 |
| systm | how to i make it so dhclient/3 doesnt try to use the last leased ip ? | 20:32 |
| edbian | Rasmus: Yes, try the CD you have now and see if it lets your boot ubuntu | 20:32 |
| Rasmus | edbian: ok, but i will need gparted when im using the livecd | 20:32 |
| edbian | Rasmus: The live CD has gparted installed by default | 20:32 |
| spideyman | <edbian> theres a gparted live cd that is only 52 megs if that doesnt work for him | 20:33 |
| sebsebseb | Rasmus: yes you use gparted, the partition editor, but best to come back to IRC once on the CD, so we can hep you through the whole procedure | 20:33 |
| edbian | spideyman: Do you have a link for him? I was aware of alternatives but I didn't have on close at hand / on mind to suggest to him. | 20:33 |

| gumpy | how fast is the latest ubuntu on boot? | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ebil: yeah -p is purge, if you want defaults that will do it. If you want you can remove --purge the app, then reinstall | 21:09 |

| zimbres | hi, when compiling and linking a program against a libtool library .la with libtool --mode=link g++ ... I get the message "libswat.so: undefined reference to..." could someone guess where is the problem? Would that be a problem in the Makefile.am I used to build the library? | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | szilvasyz: its a real pain to get perfect is suspend to ram | 21:09 |
| n0gear | how do i grep authlog for example for ssh entries? | 21:09 |
| szilvasyz | ActionParsnip: i had spent last two days with trying everything i found on the net | 21:09 |
| matreya6 | can anyone help me with installing GRUB in a RAID1, 2 volume configuration? Alternate 64Bits offers only to install grub on the MBR of the second RAID volume, while I want to install it on the MBR of the first volume. | 21:09 |
| ikonia | zimbres: the person who made the code can support that better | 21:09 |
| ebil | ActionParsnip, it's got a lot of dependancies, so purging and reinstalling isn't really an option | 21:10 |
| jordo2323 | Is it possible to import a Cisco VPN Profile file to Ubuntu? | 21:10 |
| ikonia | matreya6: manually install grub on the first disk | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | szilvasyz: ive given up on trying to get it going on any system ever. too much heartache. maybe someone else can advise | 21:10 |
| fretegi | having issues with my wireless card, if i get to below 3 bars of sgnal strength i cannot connect to anything, unlike windows where it will connect at 1 bar | 21:10 |
| ikonia | !grub > matreya6 | 21:10 |
| ubottu | matreya6, please see my private message | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ebil: then I'd shoot for dpkg -P | 21:10 |
| ebil | stew, would finding the deb package in the apt cache and using dpkg --force-confnew <package.deb> have accomplished the same thing? | 21:10 |
| pw-toxic_ | Flannel, thanks | 21:10 |
| stew | ebil: yes | 21:10 |
| matreya6 | ikonia, thx, I'll look up the way to install GRUB manually | 21:11 |
| szilvasyz | ActionParsnip: it is very interesting: from the first suspend the laptop can wake up but from the second it freezes. there is no caps lock and nothing at all, but 4-sec power button:( | 21:11 |

| xiong | please, somebody, please point me in the direction of some help with my difficulty with evolution mail client -- can't empty trash -- it's not obvious to me -- i've been asking for a week! | 21:11 |
| waieez | ctmjr: I do not understand your suggestion. what is "!nvidia|waieez:" ?? | 21:11 |
| ebil | ActionParsnip, huh? I *can't* purge it. dependancies will break. (rather I shouldn't have to) in any case, the dpkg reinstall worked :) | 21:11 |
| ebil | stew, thanks, worked like a charm it appears | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | szilvasyz: i recommend you ssh into the system to read dmesg | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ebil: nice, glad you hit the goal :) | 21:12 |
| zimbres | ikonia, I have witten the code myself. But I am quite new to autotools, perhaps somebody here has more experience... | 21:12 |
| jordo2323 | Has anyone successfully connected to a Cisco VPN using the stock network manager in Jaunty? | 21:12 |

| zimbres | ikonia, You mean irc channel? | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | szilvasyz: i thought you said the keyboard was out? | 21:13 |
| fretegi | no one knows bout the wireless card issue? | 21:13 |

| Myrtti | !nvidia > waieez | 21:14 |
| ubottu | waieez, please see my private message | 21:14 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: then you need to either install a text based browser, or install a desktop | 21:14 |
| Zsuax | what the command to open the browser | 21:14 |
| zimbres | ikonia, I thank you for the help. There seems to be no ane active there... | 21:14 |
| Zsuax | like mozilla firefox | 21:14 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: how do you expect to open a browser without a desktop | 21:14 |
| Zsuax | example pls | 21:14 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: how cna you open firefox without a desktop ? | 21:14 |
| ctmjr | !nvidia>waieez: | 21:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zsuax, "links" "links2" & elinks are all text based browsers. Good luck. | 21:15 |
| Zsuax | im use ubuntu server 9.04 | 21:15 |
| waieez | i dont understand what that means though | 21:15 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: yes, and it doen't have a desktop installed by default so you can't use graphical applications | 21:15 |
| ebil | stew, It actually didn't work, but I found if I removed the file and did confmiss it fixed it :) | 21:15 |
| Flannel | Zsuax: w3m is installed by default: `w3m http://google.com` will get you to google. | 21:15 |
| szilvasyz | ActionParsnip: not only the keyboard. waking up from the second suspend the machine freezes completely. even the caps lock does not work. only one thing can be done: pressing the power button for 4 secs to poweroff | 21:15 |
| Zsuax | pening | 21:15 |
| Zsuax | aku | 21:15 |
| Zsuax | aku bukan guna ubunti desktop la | 21:16 |

| ikonia | Zsuax: this channel is english only please | 21:16 |
| waieez | ctmjr: I don't understand what you mean by that though. | 21:16 |
| ctmjr | waieez: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:16 |
| Zsuax | ok | 21:16 |
| Zsuax | wait | 21:16 |
| szilvasyz | ActionParsnip: i thought that I disabled the suspend function but I cannot find this in ubuntu. could you help me to disable globally the possibility of initiating suspend? | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Zsuax: if you are running firefox you dont need the server in stall | 21:16 |
| waieez | ctmjr: yeah I am looking at it. but what does !nvidia>waieez mean | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | szilvasyz: i'm not sure dude, sorry | 21:17 |
| Zsuax | i wanna intall clustring | 21:17 |
| Myrtti | waieez: it tells the bot to send you the message | 21:17 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: at this moment in time - it sounds like it's beyond you | 21:17 |
| jacekowski | mbeierl1: yes | 21:17 |
| szilvasyz | ActionParsnip: ok, thanks | 21:17 |
| Zsuax | im just choose dns server? | 21:17 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: visit ubuntu.com and read the introduction guide to learn how to use linux / ubuntu first | 21:17 |
| Zsuax | it can do clustring then?" | 21:17 |
| ctmjr | Myrtti: thank you | 21:17 |
| kesiode | can someone tell me how to disable SCIM? It keeps changing my keyboard input to unicode | 21:17 |
| jacekowski | mbeierl1: so far linux and windows AD cooperation is ...... | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Zsuax: you can install the dns service on the desktop system | 21:18 |
| jiffe | if you have battery backed ram, is it possible to carry a ramdisk after a power down? | 21:18 |
| szilvasyz | can anoybody tell me if i could disable the "suspend" possibility in my ubuntu 9.04? | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Zsuax: the idea of the server install is that it doesnt install an x server or de | 21:18 |
| ikonia | jiffe: depends how "power down" it goes | 21:19 |
| mbeierl1 | jacekowski: it was really simple, and all the packages I needed were in the repos for 9.04. I used this as a starting point https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/likewise-open.html | 21:19 |
| Zsuax | coz im wanna use clustring | 21:19 |
| jiffe | complete loss of power except for the battery backed ram | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: forget clustering for the moment | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Zsuax: otherwise you can install any of the services on the desktop system | 21:19 |
| Zsuax | im just choose dns default before installing it | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: learn the basics of ubuntu from https://help.ubuntu.com | 21:19 |
| Zsuax | i dont use gui | 21:19 |
| mbeierl1 | jacekowski: but use the package likewise-open5 not likewise-open | 21:19 |
| jacekowski | jiffe: not so long ago | 21:19 |
| Zsuax | now im on terminal | 21:19 |
| jacekowski | jiffe: i've seen ide hard disk | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: I understand that, but I suggest you read an introduction on https://help.ubuntu.com | 21:20 |
| ikonia | Zsuax: learn the basics | 21:20 |
| jacekowski | jiffe: which was pci card ( just for supply ) with batteries | 21:20 |
| Zsuax | ok thnx | 21:20 |
| jacekowski | jiffe: and lot of memory on it | 21:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Zsuax: if you arent using a gui you can't launch firefox as it needs a running x server | 21:20 |
| setup1_ | hello | 21:21 |

| setup1_ | btw, im new to irc, and ubuntu...:( | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | xiong: mutt :) | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | xiong: depends what features you need. try a few see which you like | 21:23 |
| mbeierl1 | jacekowski: not quite. It takes your Windows AD identity and allows you to log in to a likewise-enabled computer with it. gvfs then allows access to all the corporate Windows shares using the Kerberos cached password, etc | 21:23 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: sounds like you need flash | 21:23 |
| xiong | ActionParsnip, i'm using evolution and i think it's okay but when i ask for help on it here, there's never a response | 21:23 |
| mbeierl1 | jacekowski: so it does not bring your Linux identity to AD, it provides a PAM plug in to bring your AD identity to Linux | 21:24 |
| setup1_ | (action) the problem is, i added flash to this pc and still nothing :( | 21:24 |

| xiong | ikonia, fine -- please, then, help me with evolution; i've been asking for a week -- it seems to be taboo | 21:25 |

| lenswipe | any fetchmail admins in here? | 21:54 |
| SqRt7744 | dsgross: how long did you wait? | 21:55 |
| ebil | ActionParsnip, the problem is that pppd apparently assumes that you're running some sort of VPN over the link and that your current DNS servers could never be correct. so it overwrites them, but for people like me with DSL, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense | 21:55 |
| dp_ | papapep: it's not | 21:55 |
| pooky_ | Crud...I used the dpkg cmd on my skype packages that i just finished downloading...but is teher something the I need to do to the actuall package? | 21:55 |
| dsgross | a minute or so | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: extract the archive then you will need to run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins | 21:55 |
| dsgross | how long does the check usually take? | 21:55 |
| ebil | ActionParsnip, because it's not a VPN, it's the internet, but we might still need to connect to our local network as well | 21:55 |
| SqRt7744 | dsgoss: i'd give a more than a minute.... | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: then copy the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins | 21:55 |
| SqRt7744 | try 5 at least | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ebil: absolutely | 21:55 |
| dsgross | alright will do i'll be back if it fails | 21:55 |

| danbhfive | wheatthin: do you get an error? | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: oh sorry | 22:07 |

| stef1 | How can I share a folder on the network with no login required? | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: file ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: thats the command | 22:07 |
| wheatthin | yeah just a second | 22:07 |
| Flannel | gangil: Yes (barring the usual dangers of data loss, etc) | 22:07 |
| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, it said what you typed, verifying by checking myspace as we speak. | 22:07 |
| Dr_Willis | stef1: set up the share to be 'guest' accessable. i belive. | 22:07 |
| rodolfo | gloobus.. | 22:07 |
| pooky_ | Dr Willis; Well I lerned alot from IRC...and Ubuntu forum...not enough but I'll follow your advice and I'll be back in 1h30. | 22:08 |
| pooky_ | ^^ | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | gangil: the upgrade will upgrade the apps and kernel, your user data will not be touched and should be backed up any way if you have any concerns | 22:08 |
| stef1 | ok, and I've read that sharing the home directory is not good | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | pooky_: theres a good site - google for 'learn the command line' (i forget the url) | 22:08 |
| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, negative. still no luck. | 22:08 |
| Flannel | rodolfo: gloobus is in Karmic, its brand new, etc. | 22:08 |
| stef1 | so I need to make a special map in the root something like /shared ? | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | pooky_: you need to make the location the terminal is in be the same as the deb files you downloaded | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | stef1: i set up a 'homes' share on all my machines.. it depends on your situation | 22:08 |
| LinuX2half | I can't find the root theme folder | 22:08 |
| cabrey | LinuX2half, what do you want to do? | 22:09 |
| rodolfo | Flannel: what do u mean? | 22:09 |
| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, i just made sure all my plugins were enabled as well and they are. | 22:09 |
| wheatthin | it said that it tripped their spam filter for pastebin, I cannot replicate | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuX2half: Make the directory if it dosent exist.. or link it to the users .themes directory | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: did you get the correct output from the file command output? | 22:09 |
| cabrey | LinuX2half, if you want themes installed systemwide, put them in /usr/share/themes | 22:09 |
| stef1 | Dr_Willis: you mean sharing the home directories? | 22:09 |
| dekkong | does anyone use google chrome in ubuntu? | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | stef1: I set up the special 'homes' share - its a feature of samba. :) | 22:09 |
| rodolfo | Flannel: i saw guides for ubuntu 8.10 also | 22:09 |
| cabrey | dekkong, i use it | 22:09 |
| wheatthin | it just gives me a 404 error | 22:09 |
| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, "file ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 22:10 |

| dekkong | cabrey: do you use it with wine? | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | stef1: every user has 'shared access' to their own home dirs from any box on the lan | 22:10 |
| pooky_ | Dr Willis; Okay Thanks, I'll see you around maybe? ^^ | 22:10 |
| cabrey | dekkong, no, the native preview version | 22:10 |
| Flannel | rodolfo: Hmmm, no, nevermind. It's not in karmic. https://launchpad.net/gloobus They've apparently released a deb, but I can't find it on that page. | 22:10 |
| wheatthin | is there a way to flush the apt-get to let me restart the upgrade? | 22:10 |
| Fireking300 | When I do "sh unetbootin-linux-356" In terminal it says it cannot execute binary files. | 22:10 |
| Flannel | rodolfo: You'll want to follow the guides then. It's not in the repos | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: awesmoe, ok now uninstall any other flash packages you have | 22:10 |
| exo | apt-get clean | 22:10 |
| gangil | what do i do If I need to upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to Kubuntu 9.04 | 22:10 |
| Flannel | wheatthin: Yes. Can you please pastebin the output of this command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:10 |
| gangil | ? | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dekkong: it only runs via wine afaik | 22:10 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | gangil | 22:10 |
| ubottu | gangil: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 22:10 |
| wheatthin | Flannel: as I said, pastebin claims it's a spam, it wont' allow me to use it | 22:11 |
| wildc4rd | just chucked a ubuntu box in a mATX case, want to check the CPU temp is OK, is this possible? | 22:11 |
| stef1 | ok, I didn't knew that, I'm talking about sharing music over the network, i'll look into "homes" | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Fireking300: chmod +x unetbootin* then ./unetbootin*whatever* | 22:11 |
| rodolfo | Flannel: i'll take a look on this website.. | 22:11 |
| cabrey | ActionParsnip, there is a preview release available that runs natively in linux and uses GTK | 22:11 |
| gangil | Flannel : is it possible ubuntu-> Kubuntu | 22:11 |
| dug | I have a dell with an ich9 hd audio card, show my card in lspci and aplay -l shows it using the right device, yet I get no sound, I have added the options snd-hda-intel-model=dell-m6 | 22:11 |
| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, was that using " dpkg -l | grep flash"? | 22:11 |
| pepperjack | Fireking300: chmod +x unetbootblah then ./unetbootblah | 22:11 |
| dug | and I still get no sound | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | gangil: you can install 'kubuntu-desktop' on ubuntu - yes. | 22:11 |
| Flannel | gangil: You'd have to do it in two steps, either switch to kubuntu (easy) and then upgrade (easy) or upgrade (easy) and then switch to kubuntu (easy) | 22:11 |
| geirha | gangil: You either have to convert from ubuntu to kubuntu, then upgrade to 9.04, or upgrade to 9.04 then convert from ubuntu to kubuntu | 22:11 |
| dtchen | dug: are you sure that's the proper quirk? have you verified against the source code? | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: that only lists the packages, you will then need to run: sudo apt-get --purge remove <package names here dude> | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | cabrey: ooh let me check that :) | 22:12 |
| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, alright so get the list with the cmd i just sent, and use the one you sent just now to get rid of them all, correct? | 22:12 |
| dug | dtchen: its the one the forums suggest for the dell with the ich9 | 22:12 |

| gangil | the only difference between ubuntu and Kubutnu is that one uses KDE and other uses Gnome , the kernel is same for both right? | 22:13 |
| Fireking300 | Thanks the commands worked | 22:13 |

| too5hort | Hi, is there in some way i can let my Wubi install use more disk space instead of the 7gb that i choose in the install? | 22:13 |
| dtchen | dug: "ich9" is not very informative; it's similar to saying "i have a computer with a new sound card" | 22:13 |
| cabrey | LinuX2half, sudo cp -R theme_folder /usr/share/themes/ | 22:13 |
| === laplacian is now known as nabla | ||
| ActionParsnip | setup1_: the dpkg -l | grep flash shows all the package names that contain the word flash, you can then remove them with the second command but you will have to add what package names it finds manually | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuX2half: you have to do it with root permissions to system directories. | 22:13 |
| rodolfo | Flannel: is it possible to install? | 22:13 |
| Flannel | gangil: Correct. You can just install Kubuntu on your Ubuntu, and you'll get Kubuntu (and still have Ubuntu) | 22:13 |
| dtchen | dug: either use "ubuntu-bug alsa-base", or use http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh | 22:13 |
| Flannel | rodolfo: I have no idea. I'm not familiar with that package/program at all, you might ask whatever support/forums/whatever they have | 22:14 |
| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, ok. the only one that showed up was "ii flashplugin-installer 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 22:14 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:17 |

| ikonia | rodolfo: it has the source gode in a tar file available, but I know you're looking for a deb file | 22:22 |

| setup1_ | ActionParsnip, ... odd... it still loads. | 22:22 |

| cabrey | paolo88, you probably want sun-java6-jdk | 22:25 |

| ActionParsnip | setup1_: haha, i use pcmanfm personally but nautilus is default | 22:26 |

| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, I don't know where to obtain the repository. | 23:02 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: what app is it? | 23:02 |
| matreya6 | animuson_, Clustering is possible, but needs expert knowledge to implement | 23:02 |
| Flannel | !checkinstall | LinuX2half, VCoolio (don't compile with make, use checkinstall, if you have to compile) | 23:02 |
| ubottu | LinuX2half, VCoolio (don't compile with make, use checkinstall, if you have to compile): checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's runnin | 23:02 |
| VCoolio | Flannel: really what does that do? | 23:02 |
| VCoolio | Flannel: sry you let ubot say it | 23:03 |
| Flannel | VCoolio: It creates a deb from the compile, so you can easily remove the files later, if you want to upgrade, or a package becomes available, etc. | 23:03 |
| brennus | oh no michael jackson is dead! | 23:03 |

| matreya6 | I'm trying to finalize an Ubuntu 9.04 64Bit's installation on the following config: 2 RAID 1 Volumes, 1st WinXP32Bit, 2nd: Linux64. The entire install is done, except that GRUB only installs to the MBR of the 2nd disk, causing WinXP to boot without any GRUB to switch to the fully installed Ubuntu. I've tried dropping to rescue mode, but even though the Alternate Live CD asks me if I want to activate H/W RAID, the volumes's don't show up in fdisk -l, nor | 23:24 |
| matreya6 | can I use them to install GRUB on the 1st Volume (shared with WinXP) | 23:24 |
| obione | can anyone can tell me where to find drivers and info on a capture card with chipset zoran model zr36057pqc ... I'm tired of searching ... | 23:24 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: did you cd into that folder before doing the auto-apt command? | 23:24 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: I think I can't help you too far as I'm leaving soon, which graphics-card do you use // the upgrade-process might have fixed something, but if you installed on another pc, recompiling kernel might be usefull | 23:25 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, no is it cd clamac-0.95.2? | 23:25 |
| Lancen833 | How might I do that? | 23:25 |

| CybeRebel | hello :) my firefox check updates has recently become disabled, anyone know what is wrong? | 23:36 |
| a | hi | 23:36 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: How should I go about installing this driver? I cannot access Linux's GUI at all. :( Thanks for your help so far! | 23:36 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: first thing when read your forum post is that if you ""recorded"" the hd on a different machine, wrong drivers might be in , even after the dist-upgrade, so you should check syslog and messages; didn't you say you could boot the old kernel ? | 23:37 |
| ARMENIAN | does anyone know how to toggle on and off notify-osd? | 23:38 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: New Kernel NEVER booted. It just hung. Old Kernel booted but I messed up the graphics trying to dual screen. | 23:39 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, its taking a while to finished its installation, its still 62%. | 23:39 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: At this point i can access neither, but I have shell on the new one. | 23:39 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: busybox or shell ? | 23:40 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: that's the download part I think, installing shouldn't take too long | 23:40 |
| syslq78 | Anyone using disown command? | 23:40 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Likely busybox, as it comes before the login splash. >_> | 23:40 |
| ARMENIAN | How do you toggle notify-OSD on and off? | 23:41 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: busybox so, you know safemode, don't you ? | 23:41 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Command is just Safemode? | 23:42 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: nope, when grub comes up saying loading.. press "Esc" and go to single(rescue) mode, which brings you to a command prompt without x | 23:42 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: I will try. | 23:43 |
| DasEi | !X | 23:43 |

| Lancen833 | DasEi: OMG! The window to push that is impossibly small | 23:47 |
