MTec007 | finally fixed my sound issue! yay! | 01:19 |
MTec007 | did every one hear, Michael Jackson died today?!? | 01:19 |
muse | that's 3 channels that mentioned that in the last 2 minutes | 01:25 |
muse | including this one.. you must all watch the same news channel | 01:26 |
MTec007 | i dont watch the news | 01:29 |
MTec007 | my wife and her friends got several text messages, they told me to verify so i checked newschannel5.com | 01:30 |
homebrewcider | upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and trying to get nvidia drivers installed, get message saying "kernel modules not found" install failed | 02:11 |
aacosta | ey cabry you still there | 02:30 |
homebrewcider | upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and trying to get nvidia drivers installed, get message saying "kernel modules not found" install failed | 02:50 |
th0r | homebrewcider: did you install the kernel source or kernel headers? (I am assuming you need to compile the nvidia drivers) | 02:52 |
homebrewcider | mmm, how do I do that please? | 02:54 |
th0r | homebrewcider: first question...am I correct that you are trying to compile the nvidia drivers? | 02:54 |
homebrewcider | i'm trying to install them,it's trying to find a kernel module, then trying to download one and not finding one | 02:55 |
homebrewcider | with another driver , i get an error saying something about me having gcc4.3, and the driver needing gcc4.2 | 02:55 |
th0r | homebrewcider: right, gcc is the c compiler. I would first install the kernel headers and try again installing the nvidia drivers, then if that doesn;t work install the kernel source and see if that does the trick. | 02:56 |
th0r | homebrewcider: the headers should be in synaptic as linux-headers-generic | 02:57 |
homebrewcider | kernel headers? never had to do this before | 02:57 |
homebrewcider | ok | 02:58 |
th0r | homebrewcider: well, I am assuming the nvidia drivers need to be compiled as part of the install process. The error sounds like a compiler error, the reference to gcc reinforces this, but I don't have an nvidia card so I am only guessing | 02:59 |
homebrewcider | can I install that gcc4.2 it's referring to and see if that helps? | 03:00 |
th0r | homebrewcider: don't know...never ran into that issue before | 03:00 |
th0r | homebrewcider: I have successfully compiled from source a number of times, but do not consider myself any kind of guru in that arena. But my suggestion seemed better than the other answers you were getting <smile> | 03:01 |
th0r | homebrewcider: you might try asking in #ubuntu....the nvidia drivers are not xfce specific | 03:02 |
homebrewcider | gonna give it a shot | 03:02 |
homebrewcider | thanks | 03:02 |

MTec007 | is it easy to make a 9.04 install cd with some things already included like flashplugin-installer etc also would like to have some config files pre set up | 04:32 |
MTec007 | i beleive doing that, in windows is called OEM i dont know if thats what its called for linux | 04:34 |
R1cochet | MTec007: i believe that there is a howto in the forums on creating ur own liveCD | 05:05 |
R1cochet | not sure what its called tho | 05:06 |
R1cochet | i found it b4 on google | 05:06 |
R1cochet | OEM= Original Equipment Manufacturer, i think | 05:07 |
MTec007 | yeah but i dont want to create a liveCD, i want to create a install cd that will have things set up the way I want them | 05:14 |
MTec007 | the way i have my panel configured, my theme, my keyboard short cuts | 05:15 |
R1cochet | i think it does that | 05:17 |
MTec007 | wow. | 05:22 |
MTec007 | that seems a lot harder than i expected. | 05:22 |
MTec007 | cant just extract iso edit files, add packages and re iso? | 05:23 |
maduser | yeah you can | 05:23 |
maduser | mount the iso and do the things you want | 05:24 |
maduser | then make a new iso out of the mount folder | 05:24 |
MTec007 | they just make it sound so hard in the howto | 05:25 |
maduser | could I get a link to it? | 05:26 |
MTec007 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 05:27 |
maduser | yeah you still have to do all the stuff in the guide | 05:27 |
MTec007 | its not worth it. | 05:28 |
MTec007 | ill just try to make some kind of script i can run post install, lets just hope it doesnt fsck any thing up :) | 05:29 |
maduser | its not that hard | 05:29 |
maduser | just copy and paste commands | 05:29 |
MTec007 | i think it may be in my best interest to not mount any thing. i just had to do a reinstall messing around with things above my understanding | 05:31 |
R1cochet | u can use gmountiso | 05:32 |
R1cochet | rather easy to use gui for mounting iso files | 05:32 |
R1cochet | grab it from synaptic | 05:32 |
MTec007 | i wish i hadnt of deleted that 9.04 iso i just downloaded. just burned a normal cd from it | 05:33 |
R1cochet | ouch | 05:34 |
R1cochet | had that happen to me b4 also | 05:35 |
R1cochet | so now once i dl the iso i keep it untill newer version comes out | 05:35 |
MTec007 | lol | 05:36 |
maduser | yo im customizing a cd now dude its really easy, easier then lfs | 05:46 |
R1cochet | i was just gonna sk what lfs was but then i remembered | 05:48 |
R1cochet | is it really easy? just follow that howto? | 05:48 |
maduser | yeah | 05:49 |
maduser | copy and paste | 05:50 |
maduser | up to the customizing part | 05:50 |
mikubuntu | who knows anything about isp throttling? i have att's slowest dsl, the one that's 20 bucks a month. on all my old boxes i noticed months ago that when i would download anything, the download speed as registered by the download box 'speedometer' was always between 72 kbs - 85 kbs, and i thought prolly just my slow computers, but i got this laptop, which is no speed demon, but it is new, and... | 05:50 |
mikubuntu | ...my download speed still showing those same speeds. but when i do a speed check like the one at speed.fastaccess.com , it's showing much higher speed, like 634 kbs, for download. | 05:50 |
mikubuntu | maduser, what app u using for cd customization | 05:51 |
R1cochet | its from terminal | 05:51 |
R1cochet | i think | 05:51 |
maduser | i'm doing it from the comandline | 05:53 |
maduser | thats the only way | 05:53 |
maduser | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 05:53 |
maduser | i'm removing gnome now and adding the lxde | 05:54 |
R1cochet | lxde? | 06:03 |
maduser | its a lightweight desktop enviroment | 06:03 |
maduser | relatively new | 06:03 |
R1cochet | ahh ok | 06:03 |
R1cochet | ill google it | 06:03 |
R1cochet | more light weight than xfce? | 06:03 |
maduser | I believe so | 06:04 |
MTec007 | whats the diff between apt-get and aptitude? | 06:11 |
SiDi | aptitude manages the remove operations better | 06:14 |
SiDi | and it has different options. aptitude cant do apt-get source | 06:14 |
SiDi | but i think apt-get doesn't have aptitude why and whynot's equivalents | 06:14 |
MTec007 | so which is better to use? | 06:15 |
SiDi | i use aptitude | 06:22 |
SiDi | but if you used apt-get before, stay on it | 06:22 |
SiDi | dont mix them | 06:22 |
sandy_ | Is Xubuntu 9.04 as easy to get going with web browsing and WICD as its regular Ubuntu counterpart? | 07:52 |
sandy_ | I'm new to ubuntu but feel its dragging a bit and could use more efficiency | 07:52 |
R1cochet | web browsing yea | 07:53 |
R1cochet | it comes w/ firefox | 07:54 |
R1cochet | u can try the livecd b4 u install | 07:54 |
R1cochet | whats WICD? | 07:54 |
sandy_ | WICD is what I use for wifi connecting | 07:55 |
sandy_ | it works better than the network manager that comes with ubuntu9.04 | 07:55 |
R1cochet | havent tried wicd so im not sure | 07:56 |
R1cochet | but u can run the livecd, grab wicd in synaptic and see how it works. no changes made | 07:56 |
sandy_ | It's a very simple program that autodetected my netgear wireless card and got me connected to a simple wifi network | 07:57 |
sandy_ | I'm not familiar with synaptic but I might give it a try | 07:57 |
R1cochet | and nwm doesnt find it? | 07:57 |
R1cochet | synaptic is great | 07:57 |
R1cochet | same as apt-get from terminal | 07:57 |
R1cochet | but gui | 07:57 |
sandy_ | right...nwm didn't seem to do anything. It didn't even detect that I had a wifi card. | 07:58 |
R1cochet | that could be driver issue | 07:58 |
sandy_ | ahh interesting | 07:58 |
R1cochet | i had to dl broadcom drivers to get wifi to work here | 07:58 |
sandy_ | did you have to do the same with regular ubuntu (if you used that)? | 07:59 |
R1cochet | also did u enable wireless in nwm? u might have to rt click on nwm and tick wireless | 07:59 |
R1cochet | yes | 07:59 |
R1cochet | grab the livecd, run w/out changes and u can dl packages and try the stuff out | 08:00 |
R1cochet | i personally like xfce a lot more | 08:00 |
sandy_ | do you use xubuntu for everything? | 08:00 |
sandy_ | I'm thinking of installing XP on a dual boot cuz the multimedia doesn't work very well on ubuntu | 08:03 |
R1cochet | yes i use xubuntu for everything, i have xp on dual boot also, cant hurt but i never run windows. | 08:04 |
R1cochet | also u have to install ubuntu-restricted or xubuntu-restricted depending on which distro u use | 08:04 |
R1cochet | as well to get dvd playback u need libdvdread4 and decss | 08:05 |
R1cochet | there are howtos on getting those | 08:05 |
R1cochet | they are in medibuntu repos | 08:05 |
sandy_ | is 9.04 the version to get? | 08:49 |
R1cochet | its the newest if thats what u mean | 08:49 |
R1cochet | so the packages are supposed to be the most current from my understanding | 08:49 |
sandy_ | does it support USB right away? | 08:49 |
R1cochet | yes | 08:49 |
R1cochet | try the livecd | 08:50 |
sandy_ | will do...once this dl is done | 08:50 |
R1cochet | ok | 08:51 |
sandy_ | do you sacrifice anything in particular by using xubuntu rather than ubuntu? | 08:54 |
sandy_ | dvd viewing I'm aware requires some extra steps | 08:55 |
R1cochet | no sacrifices i can think of | 08:56 |
R1cochet | unless running faster is a sacrifice | 08:57 |
sandy_ | hehehe awesome | 08:57 |
R1cochet | its supposed to be lighter on resources | 08:57 |
R1cochet | xubuntu that is | 08:58 |
R1cochet | i rather like it | 08:58 |
R1cochet | more than ubuntu | 08:58 |
sandy_ | that's definitely drawing me in...is it difficult installing xp after xubuntu? | 08:58 |
sandy_ | on the same hard drive | 08:58 |
R1cochet | other way around | 08:58 |
R1cochet | install xp first | 08:59 |
R1cochet | then install xubuntu | 08:59 |
R1cochet | not difficult at all | 08:59 |
R1cochet | there are some howtos i think | 08:59 |
sandy_ | really? any partitioning to do between the two OS installs | 08:59 |
R1cochet | ahh thats right first time i did it i watched a video on utube on how to install a dual boot | 08:59 |
R1cochet | yes u will have to partition but not untill after u install xp | 09:00 |
sandy_ | oh ok | 09:00 |
R1cochet | when u go to install xubuntu is when u will want to partition | 09:00 |
R1cochet | it will give a couple options on where to install | 09:00 |
R1cochet | choose resize partition, leave enough room for xp to install apps an updates and other stuff u like if ineeded | 09:01 |
R1cochet | then use the latter part of the drive to install xubuntu | 09:01 |
R1cochet | after u install xubuntu, the next time u run windows it will do a drive check, all is fine it just needs to see that the size of the drive has changed | 09:02 |
sandy_ | thanx for the advice I'm gonna check out the livecd now | 09:04 |
R1cochet | np | 09:05 |
MTecknology | what's the tool xubuntu uses to change audio output? | 09:10 |

TheSheep | !firewall | 10:39 |
ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo).

Roybot | totall noob on smb, I installed it, I can ping the computers. Where can I access the shared files on the network? | 16:53 |
handjob | Hi all. I i am curently wrighting from 'irssi' and i am wandering how can i make that it didn't exit after pressing the 'x' button rather then minimalize on tray. | 16:53 |
Roybot | let me rephrase that: What application do you guys use to browse shares using samba? | 16:58 |
Torgoton | Roybot: smbclient -L ipaddr | 17:20 |
Roybot | yeah Torgoton i got that working, I was looking for GUI app. I know GNOME and KDE have their own. | 17:21 |
Torgoton | ah. sorry. | 17:21 |

aacosta | t | 22:03 |
sandy_ | thanx for checking....hopefully it can be done | 22:05 |
knome | sandy_, you have two options: modify the theme or use another one. | 22:18 |
sandy_ | oh apparently the appearance Style was ThinIce which had nice colors but terrible checkboxes. I switched it to something else and now it's all good. | 22:19 |
sandy_ | thanks knome. | 22:21 |
