| delaman | rhinoserious: looks like ubuntu nvidia driver doesnt like my onboard motherboard video card,,,, works find with an add on video card :( | 00:01 |
| bucky | PATPAT: if you type Dr_Willis he might see you in this traffic | 00:01 |
| mdg | anyone here have experience with MTP-tools at CLI? | 00:01 |
| lcabrini | LogicalGhost: 'sudo lshw -C network' would give you what you're looking for | 00:01 |
| LogicalGhost | I know wireless cards can have on/off switches because the Windows computer I'm working on right now has one, but it's a big switch on the front - is it possible to have an off switch inside the unit? | 00:01 |
| bucky | PATPAT: i.e. Dr_Willis: my question here | 00:01 |
| bucky | PATPAT: how old are you? | 00:02 |
| usr13 | tormod: What exactly is pnema trying to do? | 00:02 |
| PATPAT | listen this is my 3 day using linux | 00:02 |
| PATPAT | give me a brake | 00:02 |
| evon | patpat: lol | 00:02 |
| ScottG | geirha: Hey thats. It was hard to figure out those codes at first but I think I have a pretty cool thing going. I'm gonna color code hostnames and usernames since I only really use 2-3 | 00:02 |
| lcabrini | Jimmio: thousands of possible reasons. Be more specific. | 00:02 |
| tormod | usr13, low resolution only | 00:02 |
| P_Kable | Hi, I installed NFS server (nfs-kernel- and nfs-common) and since that no samba shares are viewable from windows clients, any idea ? | 00:02 |
| ericdb | I just installed firefox-3.5 from the mozilla repository, but "Firefox Web Browser" in my apps menu still opens 3.0. | 00:02 |
| mdg | anyone here have experience with MTP-tools at CLI? | 00:03 |
| usr13 | bucky: he is 3 days old. Give him a brake! | 00:03 |
| bucky | PATPAT: sudo ./Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh | 00:03 |
| rski | !ff 35 | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ff 35 | 00:03 |
| rski | !firefox 35 | 00:03 |
| usr13 | tomsku: Oh, ok. | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox 35 | 00:03 |
| elli222 | !epicfail | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about epicfail | 00:03 |
| P_Kable | ff 3.5 ??? | 00:03 |
| evon | usr13: did you see the line i posted for you to look at? | 00:03 |
| lcabrini | PATPAT: if that is the case, spend a little time to get to know your system before trying to turn it into a christmas tree. | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bucky: Huh? what files ehere? the mac4lin thing can install things 'system wide' as root.. the script asks if you want to do so, | 00:03 |
| ericdb | Come on ubottu, give up the info! | 00:03 |
| DarkMage26 | I has a shut down problem, can anybody help? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/med9c2a7 | 00:03 |
| P_Kable | ff 3.0 works just fine for me ;) | 00:03 |
| tormod | for firefox 3.5 see planet.ubuntu.com | 00:03 |
| usr13 | evon: Sorry, must have missed it. | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bucky: you do NOT need to do 'sudo ./Mac4lininstaller.sh' | 00:03 |
| bucky | Dr_Willis: oh my bad | 00:04 |
| kelvy_ | como instalo xmms en ubuntu 9.04 | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | !xmms | kelvy_ | 00:04 |
| ubottu | kelvy_: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 00:04 |
| pnema | usr13: THANKS! | 00:04 |
| usr13 | !es | kelvy_ | 00:04 |
| ubottu | kelvy_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 00:04 |
| evon | usr13: here it is again, /dev/sda1 /media/datadisk ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | kelvy_: if you must have xmms - compile it from source. | 00:04 |
| pnema | Same to you tormod ! | 00:04 |
| bucky | Dr_Willis: tell him to mv the file out of /root and into his ~/ if he has one | 00:04 |
| tormod | pnema, it works now? | 00:04 |
| pnema | usr13 | tormod how to check screen resolution? | 00:04 |
| kelvy_ | ok Dr_Willis | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | bucky: he shouldent even be doing any of this as root.. :) My example just 'redownloaded' the file to a working directory. | 00:05 |
| ericdb | tormod, thanks for the pointer. | 00:05 |
| LogicalGhost | Does anyone know if it's possible to turn a wireless card "on" even if it has no on/off switch? | 00:05 |
| bucky | Dr_Willis: he's got it in /root | 00:05 |
| usr13 | pnema: That will not work. sda1 is ntfs not ext3 ...and why are you mounting it in /media/datadisk ? | 00:05 |
| bucky | i got an idea... you have been using linux for 3 days... dl a 40 MB theme and install it before you know how to log in | 00:05 |
| Jimmio | LogicalGhost: You most likely don't have the Wireless driver for it. Wireless was always a PITA to get working. | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: you do NOT need to be doing any of this 'as root' you should not be messing with the '/root' directory at all. | 00:05 |
| tormod | pnema, xdpyinfo | 00:06 |
| PATPAT | Hey bucky thanks it worked | 00:06 |
| bucky | hahaha | 00:06 |
| CaneToad | Where should I go to investigate I/O performance issues on Jaunty? If I run a job creating an ISO from a lot of files, system performance hits rock bottom even though CPU is only about 10% or less. Seriously, performance is worse than windows in the same scenario. | 00:06 |
| DarkMage26 | LogicalGhost: how do you know it is "off"? | 00:06 |
| bucky | it aint over yet | 00:06 |
| msbhvn | dmesg | 00:06 |
| pnema | tormod: states - xdpyinfo: unable to open display "". | 00:06 |
| usr13 | pnema: Did you create the mount point /media/datadisk ? | 00:07 |
| tormod | pnema, run it _inside_ X | 00:07 |
| BornRebel | what is the Super button? | 00:07 |
| pnema | tormod, sorry for NEWBEE questions, but apprecrate your help | 00:07 |
| LogicalGhost | DarkMage26: When I type sudo lshw -C network I get the word "DISABLED" in the output | 00:07 |
| Jimmio | BornRebel: Windows Flag key. | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | BornRebel: the 'windows key' is known as the 'super' key also | 00:07 |
| BornRebel | ok ty | 00:07 |
| LogicalGhost | Jimmio: How can I figure out what driver I need? | 00:07 |
| [A]KangB | <BornRebel> what is the Super button? <- the key this the Window$s logo | 00:07 |
| [A]KangB | late | 00:07 |
| [A]KangB | xD | 00:08 |
| tormod | pnema, np this is a newbie channel de facto, however there is an official newbie channel | 00:08 |
| * Dr_Willis sticks a superman sticker over his windows logo. | 00:08 | |
| bucky | PATPAT: how about cat README in that directory so you know what you're doing | 00:08 |
| mdg | anyone here have experience with MTP-tools at CLI? | 00:08 |
| Jimmio | LogicalGhost: By the name of the card. If you don't know it, PM me, I'll help you so you can actually read what I say o.o | 00:08 |
| PATPAT | ionly see 2 ready me | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | bucky: the archive came with no readme. :) | 00:08 |
| PATPAT | and its about some fonts | 00:08 |
| bucky | if it says Mac in it anywhere... don't touch it | 00:09 |
| usr13 | bucky What is PATPAT trying to do? | 00:09 |
| PATPAT | install a them | 00:09 |
| usr13 | PATPAT: What are you trying to install? | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: its not just a 'theme' its a combination of theme/ and other settings. | 00:10 |
| bucky | usr13: install some 40 MB theme with no docs in his 3rd day on linux | 00:10 |
| PATPAT | trying to install mac4lin | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: the comments at http://drop.io/dr_willis show exactly how i isntalled that mac4lin thing via the command line. | 00:10 |
| ericdb | tormod: I enabled the ubuntu-mozilla-security PPA, but it didn't seem to affect anything. firefox-3.5 doesn't seem to require any packages from there, and nothing else was installed. Still no 3.5 on my system. Do you know what I should do next? | 00:10 |
| usr13 | PATPAT: Are you sure this is something you need? If so, try to find it in the repos first. | 00:10 |
| PATPAT | ok let me try that | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: you run the commands from a terminal as a user, not root. | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: i mentioned this about 10 min ago. :P | 00:11 |
| PATPAT | dr wlliss what is the differents? | 00:11 |
| bucky | usr13: it's so cutting edge there is no documentation for it | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: clarify your question? | 00:11 |
| usr13 | bucky: We should advise him not to use it. | 00:11 |
| [A]KangB | hi guys! i have to install serveral programs (whit dependences) on 4 computers whitout internet... I need to install all programs installed in this computer. I have read about APTonCD, butit reads APT cache that I have cleaned it. Suggestions? Sorry for my bad English ^^ | 00:11 |
| bucky | exactly | 00:11 |
| [A]KangB | with* | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | usr13: we have told him to not use it. :) i did test it.. the installer and uninstaller scripts do work. | 00:12 |
| tormod | ericdb, I doubt any "security" ppa is the right one, but I haven't read the docs myself | 00:12 |
| PATPAT | I mean what is the difference between the user and the root? | 00:12 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: Ok, well press on... :) | 00:12 |
| lcabrini | PATPAT: apart from the install location, you mean? | 00:12 |
| bucky | [A]KangB: you need an entry for your cd rom in sources.list... prolly ad it with synaptic | 00:12 |
| ericdb | tormod: I was just following that page you gave me, planet.ubuntu.com. It seemed to indicate that I should add that PPA, but I don't know. | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: root - the administrator.. you DONT need to be doing this stuff as the root user. You should not even be logged in as root in any way. | 00:12 |
| evon | usr13: thanks usr13 it worked | 00:13 |
| usr13 | evon: Very good.... | 00:13 |
| [A]KangB | bucky, I know how to add a CD on source.list... I don't know how to do a CD with the packages | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: login as a normal user, open up a gnome-terminal, follow the commands i used... note the 'wget' command is one LOOOOOOOOOOOONG line.. not 2 lines, like it looks like in the pasteing i gave. | 00:13 |
| PATPAT | No i mean is this for som e security puposes? that | 00:13 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: there are sites like this http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/howto-download-packages-and-dependencies-for-offline-installation/ | 00:13 |
| PATPAT | yea i see that i will follow it | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: root is the super-duper-can-do-anything user. | 00:14 |
| [A]KangB | linduxed, thanks.. reading | 00:14 |
| DarkMage26 | I have a shutdown issue. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/med9c2a7 | 00:14 |
| PATPAT | oh alright so you are more of an administrator | 00:14 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: there is http://www.debianadmin.com/recursively-lists-package-dependencies-using-apt-rdepends.html too | 00:14 |
| PATPAT | with no restriction | 00:14 |
| linxeh | this last one looks better | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: i said root was the 'adminiatorator' just earlier.. | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | root is easier to spell. :) | 00:15 |
| edbian | PATPAT: in windows you are sort of the root user all the time (windows version of it anyway) and that is a big reason that windows has problems with viruses / spyware / malware. | 00:15 |
| bucky | bill gates is an administrator | 00:15 |
| tormod | ericdb, I looked at http://www.asoftsite.org/s9y/archives/160-FAQ-Where-can-I-get-firefox-3.5-for-Ubuntu.html and you're right about the ppa. did you install firefox-3.5 ? | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | 'root is the 'ROOT' user.. the core/first user, from which all other users spawn. :) | 00:15 |
| ericdb | tormod: I did. But it was before I enabled that PPA. I'm removing it and trying to reinstall now. | 00:15 |
| [A]KangB | linduxed, i'm form Spain. There's nothing on Spanish and I don't know who to browse this on Google in English ^^ thanks again | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Now is the time to start suggesting 'required reading' for linux fundamentals. | 00:16 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: ahh - well good luck! | 00:16 |
| [A]KangB | ^^ | 00:16 |
| PATPAT | alright | 00:16 |
| tormod | [A]KangB, ubuntu-es ? | 00:16 |
| PATPAT | i followed your command | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | commands.... :) | 00:17 |
| [A]KangB | toresbe, nothing there | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | Note: Xfce users will need to | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | manually enable the UI | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | 00:17 | |

| FloodBot3 | PATPAT: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: read/follow what the installer says..... | 00:17 |
| [A]KangB | toresbe, about i am looking for | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | i am | 00:17 |
| bucky | PATPAT: are you still logged in as root | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | Installing Mac4Lin UI... | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | tar: /root/.themes: Cannot chdir: No such file or directory | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now | 00:17 |

| FloodBot3 | PATPAT: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:17 |
| PATPAT | how do i enable the UI | 00:18 |
| PATPAT | and no im not | 00:18 |
| iujees | . | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: you are still doing things as root . we told you to NOT do stuff as root. | 00:18 |
| dvanzo | Hi! | 00:18 |
| PATPAT | i got out of the root | 00:18 |
| PATPAT | what do you mean | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: i suggest logging out.. and logging back in as the normal user.. | 00:18 |
| bucky | PATPAT: don't flood /topic and use the paste bin | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | You are not out of the root.. as your paste suggests. | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT > tar: /root/.themes: <------------------ says root right there. | 00:18 |
| mobi-sheep | Hmm. | 00:19 |
| PATPAT | oh alright | 00:19 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: I don't know but you might run a memtest | 00:19 |
| PATPAT | ill log out after this is finish | 00:19 |
| BornRebel | I enabled desktop cube in the CompizConfig settings manaer but i dont see the hotkey to activate it so i can see the cube | 00:19 |
| PATPAT | how do i enable the UI | 00:19 |
| DarkMage26 | usr13: the mem is fine. | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: No.. you dont understand.. you MUST run this stuff as your user.. NOT as root.. thats the core of the issue. | 00:19 |
| dvanzo | I´m new to IRC..., It´s this chat the right place to ask about Ubuntu installations options???? | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | PATPAT: you have a mixture of root and your user stuff hanging about it seems. | 00:20 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: I don't know then... Sorry... | 00:20 |
| DarkMage26 | usr13: The numbers are different every time it shuts down also | 00:20 |
| PATPAT | oh ok | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm... theres 3 peopel at my drop.io site looking at things.. heh | 00:21 |

| dra | I'm running Jaunty with the newest nvidia driver. For developing OpenGL applications, I also installed the nvidia-glx-180-dev package. Works like a charm if I use OpenGL 1.1. But the OpenGL version supported by the driver is 3.0. The header files installed through nvidia-glx-180-dev are only version 1.1. What's the catch? Are the correct OpenGL header files in the repository somewhere? | 00:22 |
| eni4c | hola | 00:22 |
| Jonathancw | Hi all , if i install the standard ubuntu can i install KDE after the fact? | 00:22 |
| dra | Jonathancw, yes. | 00:23 |
| lcabrini | Jonathancw: yes | 00:23 |
| usr13 | Jonathancw: Yes, but why not cut to the chase and install Kubuntu? | 00:23 |
| Jonathancw | Is it difficult? | 00:23 |
| Jonathancw | I've already downloaded the Gnome version heh | 00:23 |
| leaf-sheep | Jonathancw: Not difficulty at all. You must be new to linux. :) | 00:23 |
| dra | Jonathancw, it's not difficult, no. | 00:23 |
| bastidrazor | !purekde | Jonathancw | 00:24 |
| ubottu | Jonathancw: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 00:24 |
| Jonathancw | I am new to linux :) | 00:24 |
| leaf-sheep | Jonathancw: Welcome to the bright side! :) | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mixxing up kde and gnome - can get the menus a bit cluttered. | 00:25 |
| PATPAT | brb | 00:25 |
| usr13 | Jonathancw: Welcome aboard! :) | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | You might want to just try out gnome for a few weeks. | 00:25 |
| Jonathancw | Does ubuntu work well with the new pentium processors with Raid hard drives? | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | The processors have raid hard drives? | 00:25 |
| Jonathancw | I've used FBSD in the past , I prefer KDE personally. | 00:25 |
| dvanzo | Given the following configuration: Dual-boot (WinXp - Ubuntu 9.04). Wich is the best way to erase the WinXp partition, boot directly to Ubuntu and use the free space with Ubuntu??? | 00:25 |
| Jonathancw | hmm.. smarty. | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonathancw: you do realize kubuntu is 'KDE4' ? | 00:25 |
| Adremelech|Lapto | They make new pentiums? | 00:25 |
| dra | Jonathancw, installing software on Ubuntu is very much different from installing software on Windows in most cases. However, once you get used to everything being available, you won't want to miss it. ;) | 00:25 |
| dra | I'm running Jaunty with the newest nvidia driver. For developing OpenGL applications, I also installed the nvidia-glx-180-dev package. Works like a charm if I use OpenGL 1.1. But the OpenGL version supported by the driver is 3.0. The header files installed through nvidia-glx-180-dev are only version 1.1. What's the catch? Are the correct OpenGL header files in the repository somewhere? | 00:26 |
| usr13 | Jonathancw: What version of KDE did you use? 3.x or 4.x ? | 00:26 |
| Jonathancw | hehe 2.x | 00:26 |
| dekushrub | Does anyone know how I can completely replace firefox 3 with firefox 3.5? | 00:26 |
| Time`s_Witness | hey all. i installed ubuntu on a computer with vista, resizing vista's partition. somehow it screwed up and cant load anymore. it's in grub menu but it won't load. is this problem often? How can i solve this please? | 00:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonathancw: i would suggest trying tnome then. | 00:26 |
| Time`s_Witness | ubuntu boots with no problem | 00:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !ff35 | dekushrub | 00:26 |
| ubottu | dekushrub: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 00:26 |
| kelvy | como entro a ubuntu es en xchat | 00:27 |
| dekushrub | Dr_Willis not true, the official release of FF3.5 just came out yesterday | 00:27 |
| Jonathancw | You know I had an odd thing happen to me the other day. | 00:27 |
| Jonathancw | I had Ubuntu installed Via windows.. | 00:27 |
| usr13 | Jonathancw: Beware, 4.x is WAY different. 3.5 is what I use and I like it. Some like 4.2 or whatever the latest KDE is and it's widget based. It's pretty fancy, but too much for me. And again, it is WAY different. | 00:27 |
| Dr_Willis | dekushrub: tell the bot . not me. | 00:27 |
| kelvy | como entro a ubuntu es en xchat | 00:27 |

| Jonathancw | When I tried to go into Ubuntu it gave me: Buffer I/o error on device SR1 | 00:28 |

| ubottu | kelvy: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 00:28 |
| usr13 | Jonathancw: You can install KDE3.5 but it's a little more complicated because it is not the default version. | 00:28 |
| Dr_Willis | dekushrub: and from what i read of the bot saying.. it will appear int he repos when its ready | 00:28 |

| patrickeee | Dr_Willis: Question | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: Hmm? | 00:34 |
| patrickeee | I'm just now aware of the difference between users and root | 00:34 |
| bucky | Dr_Willis: what's the url for your flickr site | 00:34 |
| === hadi_ is now known as Black_Phantom | ||
| Dr_Willis | bucky: never used flicker.. just drop.ip | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | bucky: no twitter wither. :) | 00:34 |
| patrickeee | so do we have two profiles | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: you have different users.. you could have 1000+ users if you wanted | 00:35 |
| patrickeee | yes i know | 00:35 |
| patrickeee | but the users and the root | 00:35 |
| lbs | who installed HP 1020 Printer under Ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: all users have their own /home/USERNAME directory for their own stuff... no idea what yoy mean by 'profiles' | 00:35 |
| patrickeee | i have the same user and root name | 00:35 |
| brainthunk | whats faster xubuntu or kubuntu? | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: the root user has all the 'rights' to do amdin tasks | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Barridus: xubuntu uses less resources. | 00:35 |
| patrickeee | yes | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Barridus: xubuntu has less features also | 00:36 |
| patrickeee | i dont understand the only diffferent is i have to type sudo su | 00:36 |
| brainthunk | well ubuntu is just full of alot of useless crap so i was wondering | 00:36 |
| patrickeee | but i have practically the same account with different user profile settings | 00:36 |
| Barridus | Dr_Willis, huh? why are you triggering my highlights for no reason | 00:36 |
| bucky | patrickeee: it has to do with linux security which you can google ad infinitum | 00:36 |
| Pici | !sudo | 00:37 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 00:37 |
| patrickeee | i c | 00:37 |
| lcabrini | brainthunk: you can remove what you don't need. Like gnome. | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Barridus: bad tab completion. :) | 00:37 |
| Barridus | :) | 00:37 |
| usr13 | patrickeee: Are you telling us that you set your user account name as "root" | 00:37 |
| patrickeee | no | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | I got to find that irssi script that reorders the tab completion via "ESP" | 00:37 |
| usr13 | patrickeee: Ok, good. | 00:37 |
| patrickeee | I'm on backtrack 4 | 00:37 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: I'm confused - those things can be downloaded with apt, then you could just copy the debs from the cache? | 00:38 |
| * Dr_Willis has no idea what 'backtrack4' even is | 00:38 | |
| leaf-sheep | patrickeee: Backtrack4 isn't supported here? | 00:38 |
| [A]KangB | linxeh, cache has been cleaned by aptitude :D | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: if you want to use 'ubuntu' then use ubuntu. not some variant of it | 00:38 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: so uninstall them, or force a reinstall ? | 00:38 |
| lcabrini | Dr_Willis: Linux for l33t haxx0rs.. | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | lcabrini: im to leet to be leet. | 00:38 |
| patrickeee | I'm using it for learning purposes | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !training | patrickeee | 00:39 |
| ubottu | patrickeee: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: time to do some learning then i guess. | 00:39 |
| [A]KangB | linxeh, it will download the program.. but no the dependence | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: and stop messing with eye candy :P | 00:39 |
| mobi-sheep | patrickeee: You want to ask people in #remote-exploit | 00:39 |
| nogagplz | Linux is too noobified now though, BSD is for the leets ;) | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | nogagplz: to try 'tiny core linux' | 00:39 |
| patrickeee | Well since Mac4lin is Ubuntu feature i figure i come here for the basics | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: mac4lin is for 'linux/gnome' users.. not ubuntu specific at all. | 00:40 |
| patrickeee | simple question, my sound doesn't seem to work in User mode is there somthing I'm missing? | 00:40 |
| bucky | Mac4Lin is NOT a ubuntu feature | 00:40 |
| patrickeee | yea well I'm on ubuntu so | 00:40 |

| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: You just said you were not using ubuntu. | 00:40 |
| patrickeee | I meant as general bucky | 00:40 |
| nogagplz | Dr_Willis, peeked at it before, content with crux and hvlinux | 00:40 |

| patrickeee | bucky i got it | 00:41 |
| lwells | Any good personal wiki apps on Ubuntu?? | 00:41 |
| [A]KangB | linxeh, ok.. investigating...... | 00:41 |

| Dr_Willis | bucky: thats not in the repos.. for which we are truely thankfull... | 00:42 |

| lwells | thanks | 00:42 |
| bucky | Dr_Willis: and therefore not a ubuntu feature | 00:42 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: look at the post by yota | 00:42 |
| catharcyst | is firefox 3.5 in the repos? | 00:42 |
| linxeh | (the 8:28 one) | 00:42 |

| bucky | But PATPAT could package it for the next release | 00:42 |
| Grzesio | siema | 00:43 |
| catharcyst | thanks ubottu | 00:43 |
| catharcyst | i installed it using the tar for now | 00:43 |
| bucky | patrickeee: go make a mac4lin deb and don't come back until you're done | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | !thanks | catharcyst | 00:43 |
| ubottu | catharcyst: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 00:43 |
| catharcyst | ya | 00:44 |
| patrickeee | the mac4 isnt going to work on here i guess | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | bucky: it does too many things to ever be a deb.. :) im | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: it works fine here for me.. i just followed those commands i gave. | 00:44 |
| patrickeee | I get a bunch of weird errors I really don't want to mess with it anymore | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: login as a user.. run the commands.. it worked. | 00:44 |
| patrickeee | Dr_willis it installed fine but just errors | 00:44 |
| terdman | how would I install fluxbox in ubuntu over gnome?????? | 00:44 |
| patrickeee | I'm in user right now | 00:44 |
| bucky | patrickeee: reinstall and install it from your user home dir as user like you're supposed to | 00:44 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: another option is apt-zip | 00:45 |
| linxeh | [A]KangB: not tried it though :p | 00:45 |
| patrickeee | I am in users | 00:45 |
| lcabrini | terdman: what do you mean with 'over gnome'. | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: to ask in Backtrack 4 perhaps... i guess... of course runningstuff as root.. may of broken things... | 00:45 |
| patrickeee | thats why my name changed | 00:45 |
| patrickeee | it could have but its ok | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: try making a 'new' user.. see if the commands work for them. | 00:45 |
| terdman | umm.. can I switch between the too | 00:45 |
| [A]KangB | linxeh, apt-zip!? whta's that!? | 00:45 |
| lcabrini | terdman: yes. 'sudo aptitude install fluxbox' | 00:45 |
| patrickeee | Your command is fine | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | terdman: you install other window mangers.. an the gdm login screen has a menu item to select the ones you use for that login session | 00:46 |
| patrickeee | I think it's just the back track | 00:46 |
| twig11 | What does the "Rescue a broken system" boot option on the ubuntu 9.04 alternate install disc do? Will I be able to access the existing filesystem on the computer after using it? I'm working on an older PC for a friend, and I'd like to get Ubuntu running on it. It seems there is a graphics problem on this machine because the standard Ubuntu and Xubuntu desktop cds crash when I try to boot from them, even though the machine has 51 | 00:46 |
| patrickeee | theres alot of things I can't really do | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: i would have to suggest getting a normal ubuntu cd. and installing normal ubuntu then. | 00:46 |
| patrickeee | Yes, after I'm done with what I'm here for | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: and what are you here for then? | 00:47 |
| usr13 | twig11: "the machine is 51"? | 00:47 |
| patrickeee | network security | 00:47 |
| [A]KangB | linxeh, I have found the way to do so that i was looking for | 00:47 |
| twig11 | usr13: I'm not sure what you're asking. I did say it has 512 Mb RAM. | 00:47 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: patrickeee ? | 00:47 |
| [A]KangB | linxeh, sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip > Packages.gz | 00:48 |
| patrickeee | What? | 00:48 |
| usr13 | twig11: Oh.. well you cut the last few characters off. | 00:48 |
| usr13 | patrickeee: What is your question about network security? | 00:48 |
| bastidrazor | !clone | 00:48 |
| 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 | 00:48 |

| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: good luck.. I dont do 'network security' much.. I just dont run stuff i dont need. | 00:49 |
| ARMENIAN | is there a way to change the background of just one workspace? | 00:49 |
| [A]KangB | linxeh, I do a synaptic script to download the packages... then I download it to a folder... ther I run that on this folder. Then copy all to a CD :D | 00:49 |
| patrickeee | Oh I just meant ill install ubuntu after I'm done with the back track features that I'm here for | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: avoid 'canon' | 00:49 |
| ravigehlot | Dr_Willis: I heard Brother is pretty good | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: check cups.org also befor you buy. | 00:49 |
| twig11 | usr13: 512 Mb RAM and 1GHz cpu. | 00:49 |
| funkyHat | ravigehlot: HP would be a good bet, and avoid brother (cups bugs) | 00:49 |
| bazhang | patrickeee, backtrack is not supported here; try #remote-exploit | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: not tried them.. it end to stick with HP. but some HP's have less then perfect linux support. | 00:49 |
| usr13 | twig11: That should do fine, if the hardware is all operational. | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: hp has a low end color laser i was looking at last year.. but the linux drivers were lacking then.. they may be better now. | 00:50 |
| patrickeee | Dr_Willis: Just our networks vulnerbility and what we can do to inprove it from intruders | 00:50 |
| ravigehlot | Dr_Willis: I need Laser | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickeee: dont run serveices you dont need.. | 00:50 |
| patrickeee | bazhang I know that | 00:50 |
| ravigehlot | funkyHat: Brothers seems to be one of the brands with the most interest in Linux | 00:50 |
| terdman | ok i have fluxbox installed but how do i switch to that window manager now ??? | 00:50 |
| usr13 | twig11: What video card does it have in it? | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: yep - this was a color laser for $300 i think (low end model) I got a 14 yr old HP laserjet 6l thats still running. | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | terdman: gdm screen.. menu items.. | 00:50 |
| bazhang | patrickeee, so please Ubuntu only questions here. not Ubuntu-based (ie BT4) | 00:51 |
| terdman | gdmscreen ? sorry | 00:51 |
| mdg | anyone know how to send files from mp3 player via mtp-tools? | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | terdman: yes.. at the GDM login screen.. theres menu items somewhere to select a session | 00:51 |

| patrickeee | bazhang I haven't asked any question about backtrack the only question I've asked here was how to install a Mac4lin | 00:52 |
| ravigehlot | Dr_Willis: NewEgg has a wirless workgroup printer for $124 and it has drivers for Linux | 00:52 |
| funkyHat | ravigehlot: a friend of mine has trouble with his brother printer, that might be only that particular model though. it's an mfc-235c (I think) | 00:52 |
| bazhang | patrickeee, and you were answered | 00:52 |
| twig11 | usr13: right. Obviously there's a problem with the machine; that's why I'm using the alternate cd. If I use the "rescue a broken system" boot option, will I be able to get access to the existing filesystem? (Win XP Professional)\ | 00:52 |
| ravigehlot | bazhang: checking.... | 00:52 |
| patrickeee | Yes Dr Willin but I can do two of the three | 00:52 |
| usr13 | patrickeee: Linix is definately for you if you want to learn about networking and network secruity tools etc... | 00:52 |
| usr13 | twig11: If it is readable, yes. | 00:53 |
| ravigehlot | funkyHat: I see. I am not going for MFC models. I am sticking with just a printer without multifunction | 00:53 |
| mdg | How do I handle spaces in my mp3 file names when transferring via MTP-tools | 00:53 |
| patrickeee | for windows we have cain and abel for linux theres back track 4...so far I think BT4 is great | 00:53 |

| bastidrazor | DarkMage26, from my understanding shutdown doesn't turn off a computer... shutdown sends a request to the init(8) daemon to bring the system down into the appropriate run‐level .. | 01:16 |
| usr13 | twig11: NP | 01:16 |
| terdman | anyone use packagekit | 01:17 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: What happens when you hit the power button. (That's how I shut mine down.) | 01:17 |
| ghostofthephoeni | Hi all!' | 01:18 |
| DarkMage26 | usr13: I can only shutdown once it freezes by holding down the power button. Nothing happens when I just press it and then release it. | 01:19 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: bastidrazor is correct, shutdown does not turn off the computer. | 01:19 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: I don't know, but sounds like acpi is broken. See: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/ | 01:21 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: If you hit the power button when the system is running, it is supposed to shut down the OS and power off the PC, (if all is working as expected). | 01:22 |
| bastidrazor | DarkMage26, under power management you can specify how your box will react to a power button press | 01:23 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | hey - most of the songs on my girlfriends ipod are locked when I try to listen to them on banshee, does anyone know how I can unlock them, or how to listen to them? | 01:24 |
| intangir | how do i start a seperate X session on ubuntu 9.04.. since FOREVER on ANY distro ive been able to just say 'startx -- :1' and it worked.. now it doesnt | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ShazbotMcNasty: if she bought them fro the itunes store.. they will only play on that ipod i think | 01:24 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | that's no good | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | intangir: use 'sudo' befor that? ive not tried it in ages also. | 01:25 |
| dsdeiz | i downloaded firefox 3.5 from the ppa, what is this shiretoko? :-/ | 01:25 |
| intangir | ive never had to use sudo before it before | 01:25 |
| intangir | and i dont think it would be a good idea | 01:25 |
| usr13 | ShazbotMcNasty: I don't know, but I sure am happy with my Sansa Express. | 01:25 |
| dsdeiz | anyone? | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz: perhaps the code name for the release. | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz: or the ppa maintainer. | 01:26 |
| DarkMage26 | usr13: I use the shut down command from the desktop to init the shut down. It starts to shut down by going black and it shows "Broadcast message from root@holly-desktop (unknown) at <time>", which then repeats before "The system is going down for halt NOW!" | 01:26 |
| dsdeiz | Dr_Willis: oh okay.. so it's still firefox 3.5? | 01:26 |
| usr13 | ShazbotMcNasty: I just rip my own CDs | 01:26 |
| tenach | Shiretoko is the developer milestone for the latest Firefox | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz: i imagine 3.5 will be in the normal repos soon enough | 01:26 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | usr13, it's actually not my ipod - it's my girlfriends, and she wanted to listen to her music on her computer | 01:27 |
| dsdeiz | Dr_Willis: ok, thanks.. then I guess I'll wait | 01:27 |
| zerwas | testdisk shows a partition size of 598939482 TiB | 01:27 |
| usr13 | ShazbotMcNasty: Copy it to the computer first. | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ShazbotMcNasty: if she bought the tunes from the itunes store.. i dont think she can. not without 'cracking' the DRM? | 01:27 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | somewhere it said I can burn then on an audio cd and then rip them onto the computer, but that sounds like a lot of hassle, and somewhat expensive considering she's got over 60 gigs of music | 01:27 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | :/ | 01:28 |
| dunks | yay to DRM ._. | 01:28 |
| dunks | Although I think you can unlock them if you use iTunes via her account details | 01:28 |
| dunks | but I'm not sure, and that's only with iTunes | 01:28 |
| usr13 | ShazbotMcNasty: I think you first need to jailbreak it. | 01:28 |
| jrib | ShazbotMcNasty: you should be contacting apple about this. | 01:29 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I don't have the ipod with me, but I'll try to copy them to her computer or something... | 01:29 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | that's true | 01:29 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | although they probably don't give a flip | 01:29 |
| usr13 | ShazbotMcNasty: And then you can just copy the music to your /home/user/music directory, (or where-ever you want). | 01:29 |
| jeffrey_ | hey when I mount a directory where is it located in the filesystem? | 01:29 |
| dunks | depends where you mount it | 01:29 |
| jeffrey_ | like via sftp | 01:29 |
| jrib | ShazbotMcNasty: if that's true, then you should reconsider giving them money. But whenever I've dealt with apple customer service they have been great | 01:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | if it'll let me.. | 01:30 |
| jrib | jeffrey_: where you mounted it | 01:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I shall try | 01:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | should I call them or something? | 01:30 |
| jeffrey_ | using the "connect to server" functionality, I mounted it through that | 01:30 |
| dunks | try 'mounted' | 01:30 |
| dunks | it'll tell you. | 01:30 |
| jrib | ShazbotMcNasty: worth a try | 01:30 |
| jrib | jeffrey_: ~/.gvfs if you need a way to get to it on the command line | 01:30 |
| jeffrey_ | jrib, thats exactly what I needed! excellent, thanks | 01:31 |

| wWales | is there a way to focus a window from terminal? | 01:37 |
| mrpockets | wWales, thats a great question... | 01:38 |
| DarkMage26 | usr13: does a desktop need acpi installed to shut down correctly? | 01:38 |
| zerothis | wWales: maybe zenity but I don't know | 01:38 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: Yes | 01:38 |
| zerothis | wWales: KDE windows have options using QT commands | 01:39 |
| Godel-Paradox | how can i create an iso from cd? | 01:39 |
| wWales | mrpockets: i know oyu could alt+tab but with 10+ windows running it get tiresome at times, but id like to have a way to run something like "focus firefox" | 01:39 |
| zerothis | Godel-Paradox: Add/Remove programs search for iso and choose an app to install. there's a command line way to do it also | 01:40 |
| mrpockets | isn't that what the mouse is for? | 01:40 |
| mrpockets | wWales, you have Compiz running? | 01:40 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: apt-get install acpi acpid acpi-support | 01:40 |
| wWales | mrppckets: no i havent | 01:41 |
| usr13 | Godel-Paradox: mkisofs | 01:41 |
| usr13 | !mkisofs | Godel-Paradox | 01:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mkisofs | 01:41 |
| mrpockets | if you install Compiz there're some windows flippers that make it a little more convienant to organize a larger multitude of windows | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dragon_: nope.. wont take care of much of anything.. thats not what you asked for. | 01:41 |

| shino__ | idk just | 01:43 |
| under | Hi, how can I add program in startup? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !startup | 01:43 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 01:43 |
| shino__ | just wondering is there more than just starwars? | 01:43 |
| usr13 | Godel-Paradox: Applications like k3b do it, but can be done from CLI and I think it's something like: mkisofs -o some-name.ios /media/cdrom/ | 01:43 |
| wWales | shino_: try this; apt-get moo | 01:43 |
| under | Hi, how can I add program in startup *by shell*? | 01:43 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: Then try it and see if it works. | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | shino__: mplayer has an 'ascii output' feature that lets you watch anything in the console. | 01:43 |
| mrpockets | shino__, or aptitude -v moo | 01:44 |
| usr13 | DarkMage26: reboot | 01:44 |
| mrpockets | shino__, or aptitude -vv moo | 01:44 |

| BitWraith | nathaniel_: log in as a normal user, then use sudo | 01:58 |
| BitWraith | sudo isn't a user, it's a program | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | mrpockets: i dont think an alias can have spaces like that.. You coule replace 'rm' with a script that does sanity checks however. | 01:58 |
| ctmjr | dahlia: you should have a hardware driver tap in your menu if it says your using the driver go to nvidia and download the current driver and follow the how to, it is simple | 01:58 |

| Dr_Willis | wWales: that command is worse then format c:. :) format c - will erase one drive.. the rm command will erase every file on every mounted r/w filesystem. | 01:59 |
| ctmjr | dahlia: just to let you know they are up to driver version 185 so yours is a little outdated | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Nvidia drivers are alwyas outdated in ubuntu :() thats just how it works. | 02:00 |
| dahlia | ya the new card isnt working as good as I thought it should :/ | 02:00 |

| guedesav | yeah, me too | 02:05 |
| guedesav | the problem is that means I can't use any kind of GUI for wireless connection and such | 02:05 |
| guedesav | cause they need dbus and hald running | 02:05 |
| guedesav | and I can't rely only on iwconfig and iwlist, sometimes it just doesn't work, especially with WPA | 02:05 |
| guedesav | I need to know why HAL simply assumes my keyboard is "evdev" when it's explicitly stated in xorg.conf that it is "xorg" | 02:06 |
| wWales | mrpockets: theres no inbuilt prompt on such a rm command? | 02:07 |

| mdg | hello! | 02:10 |
| wWales | Dr_Willis: oh no, im generally in favor of that architecture, its just that in this case... ...its -everything- then again, i can imagine if all you wanna do is sweep filesystems (which i can imagine you could be in a position where that happens alot) then it makes a bit more sense, after all, there are ways to make your own prompts if that what you tell linux to do :) | 02:10 |
| kpas | so I type xrandr -s 1280x1024 | 02:11 |
| DarkMage26 | mrpockets: I keep getting it through most of the screen until the end. I get the *Stopping GNOME... [OK]. Then the cursor just sits there and blinks | 02:11 |
| kpas | and get Size 1280x1024 not found in available modes | 02:11 |
| derenrich_ | so still no FF3.5 in the repos? | 02:11 |
| mrpockets | I cant say for sure, but i had a similar issue. Go to shut down and it'd do the [ 112.6340404] CONNET DEBOUNCE FAILED! | 02:11 |
| mrpockets | ended up being faulty hardware (USB Port to be specific) | 02:12 |
| kpas | how can I add 1280x1024 as a selection so I can set it from 800xXXX to 1280x1024 | 02:12 |
| uvstudios | hey guys i have a question about formating a disk, i know you are busy but do you have time to answer? | 02:12 |
| ctmjr | kpas: what does xrandr output by itself? | 02:12 |
| lstarnes | uvstudios: we can't answer a question that hasn't been asked | 02:13 |
| DarkMage26 | mrpockets: how can I check for that? | 02:13 |
| kpas | 4 opitions | 02:13 |
| kpas | max 800x600 | 02:13 |
| DarkMage26 | uvstudios: what are you wanting to do? | 02:13 |
| uvstudios | hahaha well thank you guys | 02:13 |
| ctmjr | kpas: did you install any graphic card drivers? | 02:13 |
| platyhelminth | Hi, how to make a script that simulate the use of a keyboard key every second ? | 02:13 |

| uvstudios | i have a 7.5 TB disk array and i am trying to format it, i tried fdisk but i was stupid and didnt know that it could only do 2TBs. So now i'm sitting here thinking if i should use parted, but i want to create a parition that windows users can use and also mac users too. I'm trying to set up a file server and will eventually cluster the data together with another server. I was thinking of | 02:14 |
| kpas | I moved it ti a beklin share device | 02:14 |
| uvstudios | setting up a logical volume with the disk, but i'm not so sure that i will need to do this, i guess i'm trying to ask what would be the best way to format my 7.5 TB drive and what format? | 02:14 |
| mrpockets | DarkMage26, run memtest, pull your unnecessary hardware out and see if it goes away, run fsck on the Hard Drive | 02:14 |
| kpas | Belkin KVM | 02:14 |
| kpas | I moved it ti a beklin KVM | 02:14 |
| DarkMage26 | mrpockets: How do I do memtesting? | 02:15 |
| kpas | I had it directly connected to the monitor and was able to get the higher resolutions | 02:15 |
| uvstudios | my question is in regards of formating a disk that is 7.5 TB's and how i should format it for users that will be using a mac and a pc. | 02:16 |
| voss | I would love to go back in time to 1999 and tell people, hey Im gonna format my 1.5 terrabyte external hard drive with my $200 linux netbook and just watch their mouths hang open, and then tell them "everybody uses linux in the future, microsoft went out of business 2 years ago" ;-) | 02:16 |
| mrpockets | DarkMage26, you have that Ubuntu CD you installed from? | 02:16 |
| WHARRGARBL | is ubuntu server supported here? | 02:17 |
| ctmjr | kpas: i do not know how to help you i do not know a thing about the kvm switch and how to configure it | 02:17 |
| DarkMage26 | mrpockets: Just use the cd tool on reboot? | 02:17 |
| mrpockets | yar | 02:17 |
| WHARRGARBL | Is Ubuntu server supported gere? | 02:17 |
| mrpockets | chances are, if its your ram, you'll have other problems too | 02:17 |
| WHARRGARBL | here* | 02:17 |
| mrpockets | WHARRGARBL, #ubuntu-server | 02:17 |
| kpas | is there a file I can edit to add more resolution opition | 02:17 |
| DarkMage26 | mrpockets: No other problems that I can see. Will run mem test now. | 02:18 |
| mercutio22 | in firefox when middle click a link a new tab opens in the end as opposed to by the side of the parent tab, is there an extension to make the daughter tab be opened by the side of the parent tab? | 02:18 |
| mrroboto_ | Can anyone give me a hand getting the ATI proprietary driver installed correctly? I tried using the included application for it, but when I rebooted, just got neon static... | 02:18 |

| mattyb | Anyone know when PHP 5.3 will be in the repos, or do we have to build from source? | 02:19 |
| Godel-Paradox | how can i create | 02:19 |
| Godel-Paradox | an iso from cd? | 02:19 |
| altf2o | last I saw on the php mailing list was debian had deb files for testing, but were experimental. | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Godel-Paradox: you can 'image' a cd to a .iso file with the proper dd command | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !dd | 02:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd | 02:20 |
| cellofellow | Godel-Paradox: use dd. `dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/image.iso` should get you started | 02:20 |
| wabob | man dd | 02:20 |
| cellofellow | Godel-Paradox: man dd | 02:20 |
| altf2o | so anything 5.3 at this point is likely to be custom built or installed from an experimental tree/source | 02:20 |
| mrpockets | dd if=/dev/cdrom | 02:20 |
| mrpockets | he beat me to it | 02:20 |
| mattyb | altf2o: thanks. | 02:21 |
| Godel-Paradox | can i use a program for this | 02:21 |
| Godel-Paradox | better? | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | you will wan tto use the 'bs=1024' option also - for speed. | 02:21 |
| Godel-Paradox | k3b or something? | 02:21 |
| cellofellow | Actually, you can just right-click a CD-ROM icon on the desktop in Nautilus and I think it has a Copy Disk item. | 02:21 |
| ctmjr | mrroboto_: boot into a terminal and type sudo aticonfig --initial then try to reboot agian and see if it worked | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Godel-Paradox: theres other tools that can do it.. but dd will be just as easy/fast | 02:21 |

| mrpockets | provvlMBP, come again? | 02:21 |
| mrroboto_ | ctmjr: I already removed the driver so I could boot up again. It's no longer in the hardware driver app to reinstall, either. | 02:22 |
| cellofellow | Godel-Paradox: so use dd. | 02:22 |
| sam555 | hello all! | 02:22 |
| ctmjr | mrroboto_: how did you remove it? | 02:23 |
| sam555 | how would I know which version of ubuntu server I should dl? | 02:23 |
| Devilsprey99 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/207858/ can anyone help me with this | 02:23 |
| sam555 | 64 or 32? | 02:23 |
| patdk-lap | any idea how to stop ubuntu from beeping when I plug/unplug a/c power? | 02:23 |
| patdk-lap | can't seem to find any results on google | 02:23 |
| sam555 | It's going on a dell optiplex 330 (a typical desktop computer) | 02:23 |
| provvlMBP | like, | 02:23 |
| provvlMBP | lets say, | 02:24 |
| patdk-lap | sam555, depends on if it supports 64bit, and if you have >4gigs of ram | 02:24 |
| provvlMBP | if you have a lot of icons in your desktop, | 02:24 |
| provvlMBP | and they kind of all fit into groups, | 02:24 |
| mrroboto_ | ctmjr: Id have to look back to find the exact command, but it was a terminal command, which essentially comes down to purge=fglrx | 02:24 |
| benje | hello i use firefox 3.0.11 under ubuntu ibex kernel 2.6.27-14 and when i try to read html page which in css there a 120em for <a> it freeze the entire system | 02:24 |
| altf2o | sam555 - any should suffice, I run 8.10 on an 500mhz athlon, 256mb ram. going to upgrade to 9.04 tomorrow | 02:24 |
| provvlMBP | instead of making folders to put them in, if you were to push them into a group that could have a label, what would your labels say? | 02:24 |
| provvlMBP | for example i have "open source code" and "pics" and stuff | 02:24 |
| sam555 | patdk-lap: altf2o: I don't have 4gb, just 2gb of ram. Should I just go for ubuntu server 32 then? | 02:26 |
| patdk-lap | yep | 02:26 |
| sam555 | kk. thanks! | 02:26 |
| patdk-lap | 64bit uses almost twice as much ram as 32bit | 02:26 |
| sam555 | aww | 02:26 |
| patdk-lap | so unless you need it, don't waste it | 02:26 |
| mrpockets | indeed. | 02:26 |
| sam555 | gotcha | 02:26 |
| mrroboto_ | ctmjr: found it, it was apt-get remove --purge=fglrx* | 02:27 |

| boss_mc | patdk-lap: can you source that claim? (the one about double memory consumption) | 02:28 |
| boss_mc | Chaorain: blender is in the repos, why are you compiling it? | 02:28 |

| boss_mc | dahlia: I somewhat doubt you have to install nvidia without X (have you seen !binary) but if you do, ctrl+alt+f1 to get to tty1 and then sudo service gdm stop will stop X | 02:31 |
| Godel-Paradox | i used dd | 02:31 |
| Godel-Paradox | ok | 02:31 |
| mrroboto_ | ctmjr: gotcha, ill report back in a bit with success, or on my laptop. Am I safe to assume that the module version requirements are met by the default install of 9.04? | 02:31 |

| manguy | I'm tracking to debug a problem I'm having in apache, and one of the solutions I read said to make sure that the apache user has the correct permissions. How can I check to see if a certain user (apache in this case) has the permissions needed to access the files? | 02:45 |
| jules__ | i haven't read/heard about sound or alsa groups | 02:45 |
| odinsban1 | boss_mc: possibly, which rc script should I include that in? | 02:46 |
| JDShewey | jules__: I am not sure why you can't use your soundcard as a standard user, however you can use the sudoers file to allow your standard user to automatically run certian programs with full permissions without having to enter a password. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers | 02:46 |
| boss_mc | odinsban1: make a new one | 02:46 |

| ctmjr | jules__: yes | 02:51 |
| boss_mc | chalcedony: press <blah>! (it's often esc, f2, f10, tab or f8) | 02:51 |
| DarkMage26 | chalcedony: usually esc or f11 or f12 | 02:51 |
| boss_mc | chalcedony: basically anything.... :( | 02:51 |
| din7 | press the any key | 02:51 |
| JDShewey | chalcedony: It is also often the delete key | 02:51 |
| DarkMage26 | lol | 02:51 |
| jules__ | boss_mc i thought it had to be something like that... thanks! | 02:52 |
| jules__ | "restart X" means to log out and in, am i right? | 02:52 |
| boss_mc | jules__: that will be enough in this case | 02:52 |
| jules__ | or restarting fluxbox is enough? | 02:52 |
| boss_mc | jules__: or thtt | 02:53 |
| boss_mc | *that | 02:53 |
| JDShewey | jules__: yes. CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE will do this very abruptly also | 02:53 |
| jules__ | great | 02:53 |
| boss_mc | !dontzap | JDShewey | 02:53 |
| ubottu | JDShewey: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 02:53 |
| boss_mc | bah | 02:53 |
| jules__ | i'll try and then i'll report back | 02:53 |
| jules__ | thanks! | 02:53 |
| boss_mc | JDShewey: ctrl+alt+backspace was dropped in Jaunty | 02:53 |
| JDShewey | right you are. Forgot about that. | 02:54 |
| Belboz99 | Hey all, for years I have used the cp command to copy a device (usually a CD or DVD) to an ISO file, this has worked flawlessly, until now, what has changed? | 02:54 |
| Jimmio | JDShewey: sudo apt-get install dontzap and then run dontzap --disable. | 02:54 |
| din7 | how about sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 02:54 |
| boss_mc | Belboz99: the standard tool to do that is dd (I don't know why cp has stopped working, or why it ever did...) | 02:55 |
| Jimmio | Could Compiz be screwing up Gnome Remote Desktop? The Windows user sees a screenshot, not a moving video D: | 02:55 |
| Belboz99 | boss_mc: thanks, I just tried dd, and I got the exact same results, it copied 1.7MB and failed | 02:55 |
| boss_mc | din7: involves switching tty and is as abrupt as ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:55 |
| boss_mc | Belboz99: corrupt CD/damaged drive? | 02:55 |
| Belboz99 | boss_mc: this has occurred identically on two seperate PC's with 2 separate discs | 02:56 |
| chalcedony | DarkMage26 boss_mc it *says* to hit tab to enter bios ..NOTHING happens differntly .. whether i press it and hold it, tap it once or tap it fast or slow | 02:56 |
| geirha | Jimmio: Likely, yes. | 02:56 |
| DarkMage26 | chalcedony: did you try the other keys said? | 02:56 |
| Belboz99 | boss_mc: I can also browse the disk just fine, both through the CLI and through Nautilus | 02:56 |
| goanUbuntu | hi all i am new to this chanel | 02:57 |
| goanUbuntu | :) | 02:57 |
| dsdeiz | is there like a password manager package? | 02:57 |
| goanUbuntu | i would like to ask a Q re Wireless connectivity | 02:57 |
| goanUbuntu | WiFI | 02:57 |
| boss_mc | chalcedony: normally pressing esc shows you the boot messages, try that while pressing tab, see if anything changes | 02:57 |
| chalcedony | boss_mc what other keys .. i did tab and delete | 02:57 |
| odinsban1 | Something that is strange, the nm-applet and this wireless card and nm-applet work great from live cd, but from the actual install I can't turn on the card, I have to use a script. | 02:57 |
| Belboz99 | boss_mc: only things that have changed that I am aware of is a recent kernel update, should I go ahead and revert back to an older kernel temporarily? | 02:57 |
| xangua | ju,.............. | 02:58 |
| boss_mc | Belboz99: no idea, you could try it, report a bug if that fixes the problem... | 02:58 |
| DarkMage26 | boss_mc: chalcedony: esc, f1, f2, f5, f8, f11, f12 | 02:58 |
| chalcedony | ok i'm trying to use the ubuntu live cd.. when it trips out on my monitors then ill try escape with it, thank you :) | 02:58 |
| Jimmio | Is there a way to turn off compiz temporarily and restart it the exact way it was including the emerald decoration manager? | 02:58 |
| boss_mc | Jimmio: sudo metacity --replace | 02:59 |
| boss_mc | Jimmio: then sudo compiz --replace | 02:59 |
| Belboz99 | okay, thanks boss_mc, I'm going to be rebooting the server, so all my internet connectivity will be down for about 3 min | 02:59 |
| boss_mc | run these from alt+f2 launcher | 02:59 |
| boss_mc | Jimmio: not from command line (or if you do, run them with & after them) | 02:59 |
| boss_mc | Jimmio: i.e. sudo metacity --replace & | 02:59 |
| boss_mc | Belboz99: kl, gl | 03:00 |
| goanUbuntu | the 2 green balls show on upper panel and the spining blue circle | 03:00 |
| ctmjr | Jimmio: or install the fuzion icon | 03:00 |
| goanUbuntu | both green balls are lit | 03:00 |
| Jimmio | Doesn't do anything, Fuzion icon? | 03:00 |
| goanUbuntu | but ehtn after 30 secs goes back to tiny computer screen s w/red x | 03:00 |
| goanUbuntu | menainsg it wasnt able to connect | 03:00 |

| goanUbuntu | any clue? | 03:00 |
| goanUbuntu | is there a wirelss/WiFi connection log i can review to see if there is an error? | 03:01 |
| boss_mc | Jimmio: or install simple-ccsm and use custom desktop effects, rather than the two defaults | 03:01 |
| usr13 | goanUbuntu: iwconfig | 03:01 |
| geirha | Jimmio, boss_mc: metacity --replace & # WITHOUT sudo | 03:01 |

| scunizi | linux101: 5.1? don't think so .. even if it was numbered that it's so old as to be unusable. | 03:03 |
| mrroboto | ctmjr: It worked! *Thrusts the pelvic thrust of the gods* Thanks for the direction =) | 03:04 |
| boss_mc | usr13: 5.1 reached it's EOL, you should try to find a supported version (8.04+) | 03:04 |
| Godel-Paradox | not mkisofs is | 03:04 |
| Godel-Paradox | for hdd files | 03:04 |
| ctmjr | mrroboto_: your welcome | 03:04 |

| scunizi | linux101: can you download the latest or the LTS version and burn it? | 03:04 |

| linux101 | i cant burn anything because i cant install any burning software for my dvd drive | 03:05 |
| boss_mc | linux101: can you boot off usb (and have a 1Gb+ USB pen)? | 03:05 |
| linux101 | can i mount the isos and install from a partition on my harddrive? | 03:05 |
| linux101 | i have a 512mb usb | 03:05 |
| linux101 | :( | 03:05 |
| scunizi | linux101: why can't you install any burning software? | 03:05 |

| scunizi | linux101: AH.. because you installed the older version of ubuntu? | 03:06 |
| linux101 | i update repositories | 03:06 |
| linux101 | yes | 03:06 |
| coleys | linux101: What version? | 03:06 |
| boss_mc | linux101: you can play games with unetbootin to turn a partition into an installer, boot into that, install into a seperate partition then delete the installer partition | 03:06 |
| linux101 | 5.1 really old its the only cd i had | 03:06 |
| linux101 | boss that sounds really difficult :( im a newb | 03:07 |
| boss_mc | linux101: or use debootstrap (but that might well not work from your early version of ubuntu_ | 03:07 |
| boss_mc | linux101: fair | 03:07 |
| coleys | boss_mc:Is the unetbootin for ubuntu any good? | 03:07 |
| boss_mc | coleys: fine, no problems with it | 03:07 |
| jorgerosa | linux101: checked that link? | 03:07 |
| earthmeLon | I want to add an entry to grub that will allow me to boot Ubuntu Desktop without gui (pretty much make it run like the server version would). Any suggestions on where to start? | 03:07 |

| abdiz | what | 03:07 |
| usr13 | boss_mc: What? (was that for me? | 03:07 |

| linux101 | no jorge, im trying to install a new copy of ubuntu | 03:08 |
| jorgerosa | ok | 03:08 |

| boss_mc | usr13: no... | 03:08 |
| scunizi | linux101: you may also find a magazine with an ubuntu cd in it | 03:08 |
| boss_mc | coleys: yeah, it's very useful! | 03:08 |
| scunizi | linux101: where are you at in the world? | 03:08 |
| coleys | boss_mc: Yeah and i've heard very fast aswell... =D | 03:08 |

| whois | I was trying to paste | 03:10 |
| linux101 | jorge | 03:10 |
| linux101 | sudo apt-get install libflash-mozplugin | 03:10 |
| coleys | vid_: Search your audio card in google + ubuntu =) | 03:10 |
| odinsban2 | If I press my wireless button it doesn't turn the wireless on and off, so I need to use a script and sudo. Is there a way to change the permissions for that? | 03:10 |
| coleys | vid_: lspci | grep -i audio | 03:10 |
| linux101 | E: Couldn't find package libflash-mozplugin | 03:10 |
| linux101 | jorge | 03:10 |
| DarkMage26 | whois: you don't have the wireless icon on the bar? | 03:10 |
| boss_mc | BornRebel: they've been 'working on it' for 8 years with no output, and they're trying to phase it out in favour of flash | 03:10 |
| odinsban2 | I mean, maybe the button doesn't work because of permissions | 03:10 |
| whois | iwlinksys wireless-b usb network adapter | 03:10 |
| vid_ | ack, some kind of onboard soundcard. I'll take a look, thanks | 03:10 |

| Godel-Paradox | i have error | 03:10 |
| boss_mc | BornRebel: so they have very little incentive to work on it, only very few sites still use it | 03:10 |
| whois | I want to swith from thernet to wireless | 03:10 |
| usr13 | odinsban2: You can just do ifdown | 03:11 |
| coleys | vid_: Yeah, just run that command it will tell you which card you have. | 03:11 |
| whois | ethernet* | 03:11 |
| danbhfive | whois: did you use ndiswrapper, or is it supported natively? | 03:11 |
| ctmjr | whois: there is no support for linksys usb wireless cards in linux you need to use ndiswrapper | 03:11 |
| whois | I just plugged the linksys wireless-b usb network adapter | 03:11 |

| coleys | alsa on ubuntu server ? =p | 03:14 |
| boss_mc | !alsa | zerozerozero | 03:14 |
| ubottu | zerozerozero: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 03:14 |

| coleys | PATPAT: sudo useradd username ... then to change its password... username passwd | 03:14 |
| scunizi | linux101: someone mentioned that "unetbootin" can be used from a partition like you just mentioned.. however you may have to read a lot to figure out how that works | 03:14 |
| PATPAT | oh ok | 03:15 |
| boss_mc | linux101: unfortunately not because you'll have to repartition the drive your on which can't be done while it's active | 03:15 |
| coleys | linux101: You can also load a flash drive with unetbootin aswell. | 03:15 |

| danbhfive | linux101: http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html you can sorta follow that. But, instead of using grub for dos, I think you can enter the commands directly from grub since you already have grub installed | 03:16 |
| linux101 | im confused | 03:16 |
| coleys | jim____: Lawl, my bad= ) | 03:16 |

| Jimmio | Hilikus: BE CAREFUL THOUGH. I've seen it comepletely uninstall ubuntu before. if you see Ubuntu-desktop as a package to be removed, DO NOT RUN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. | 04:36 |
| Dulak | shane2peru: well I haven't used anything but wicd in over a year now, it's superior to the way they were doing it | 04:36 |

| Jimmio | Hilikus: I never install via Aptitude when I can avoid it. It works perfectly normally, and after that run sudo apt-get autoclean to remove extra kernel data that's no longer needed | 04:37 |

| xmedex | hello all | 04:38 |
| xmedex | i have a question here | 04:38 |
| edbian | Ghoti_: Remove "ubuntu-desktop" then auto-remove everything else. (Or use aptitude) | 04:38 |
| shane2peru | Dulak: it just dumped my applet, and seemingly disconnected me, but here I am. :) | 04:38 |
| edbian | xmedex: What might it be? | 04:38 |
| Jimmio | Ghoti_: I think you can't because Ubuntu-Desktop depends on it. That means everything gets uninstalled and it no longer boots. | 04:38 |
| shane2peru | Dulak: how do I edit wicd, or get into it? | 04:39 |
| xmedex | any details how to setup multiple ubuntu server | 04:39 |
| Dulak | shane2peru: Applications->Internet | 04:39 |
| Ghoti_ | Jimmio, edbian: to confirm, apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove, yes? | 04:39 |
| edbian | xmedex: What do you mean? Please be more specific | 04:39 |
| shane2peru | Dulak: ahh, there it is, thanks | 04:39 |
| Ghoti_ | Jimmio, edbian: I still want to be able to boot to a console, of course | 04:39 |
| xmedex | multiple server setup for thin client | 04:39 |
| Jimmio | Ghoti_: Your system won't be usable anymore. | 04:39 |
| edbian | Ghoti_That will remove X, and Gnome. | 04:39 |
| edbian | Jimmio: I | 04:39 |
| Ghoti_ | o.O | 04:40 |
| Dulak | shane2peru: the best part is, once you have everything setup, it will do the network config before login, so you get network before you are even logged in | 04:40 |
| shane2peru | Dulak: cool even got my dns stuff again | 04:40 |
| xmedex | any details how to??? | 04:40 |
| Jimmio | Ghoti_: Don't run that... It will also remove the linux kernel. I'm 99% sure of it. | 04:40 |
| edbian | Jimmio: Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that you can still boot to a console without X / Gnome / Ubuntu-desktop | 04:40 |
| trollaxor | why is ubuntu so slow on my DP machine | 04:40 |
| trollaxor | i even overclocked it | 04:40 |
| Jimmio | edbian, Ghoti_: Hold on, let me see | 04:40 |
| shane2peru | Dulak: I think in hardy or intrepid it was simple and usable, either intrepid or juanty made a mess out of it, and took away the gui tools to fix things | 04:40 |

| edbian | xmedex: Are you talking about pxe booting? | 04:42 |
| Dulak | shane2peru: np | 04:42 |
| Jimmio | edbian, Ghoti_: It removes everything, and I think that would screw everything up too. | 04:42 |
| xmedex | edbian: instead of running one server, i want to have 5 server | 04:42 |
| abe3k | is Plymouth really going to ship with ubuntu 8.10 ? | 04:42 |
| edbian | xmedex: 5 servers to do what? Web servers, email servers, file servers, print servers? What? | 04:43 |
| xmedex | edbian: thin client server | 04:43 |
| Jimmio | Ghoti_: Maybe try autoremoving ubuntu-desktop and installing ubuntu-server? I think it would work. THINK. Not my responsibility if it breaks... | 04:43 |
| Ghoti_ | edbian: if I remove GNOME, that will leave X behind.. I have a (more or less) headless server, and I'd just as soon remove the GUI entirely if at all possible | 04:43 |
| edbian | xmedex: What exactly would a "thin client" server do? pxe boot? | 04:43 |
| xmedex | edbian: combine that 5 server to be 1 server for thin client | 04:43 |
| Dulak | Jimmio: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, removing it only removes that single package, not everything installed by the package | 04:43 |
| xmedex | edbian: yes pxe boot over lan network | 04:44 |
| edbian | Ghoti_: Then "sudo aptitude remove X.org and Gnome?" (admittedly I'm guessing now :D) | 04:44 |
| Ghoti_ | edbian, Jimmio: do you think that apt-get install ubuntu-server ubuntu-desktop- would do the trick? | 04:44 |
| Jimmio | Dulak: Yes, unless you run autoremove, it'll remove everything, because it's not needed by anything. | 04:44 |
| edbian | xmedex: Before you said you want to create 5 servers. Now you said you want to combine the 5 to make 1. You're confusing me. Why do you need more than 1 to pxe boot anyway? | 04:44 |
| Dulak | Jimmio: my bad missed the autoremove | 04:45 |
| xmedex | edbian: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/multiple-server-setup.html | 04:45 |
| Jimmio | Ghoti_: Honestly, I'd say leave the GUI there, just turn it off. Keeps things from breaking. | 04:45 |
| xmedex | edbian: take a look at there | 04:45 |
| Jordan_U | Jimmio: there is still ubuntu-minimal | 04:45 |

| gogeta | !ff35 | 04:50 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 04:50 |
| shane2peru | forces: sudo apt-get install firefox | 04:50 |
| forces | I dont want beta | 04:50 |
| forces | I want the final | 04:50 |
| scunizi | then wait | 04:50 |
| edbian | forces: It doesn't exist yet for linux :) | 04:50 |
| forces | it was released yesterday | 04:50 |
| Ghoti_ | forces: I think it's the beta package for the final release | 04:50 |
| forces | maybe tomorrow? | 04:50 |
| Pici | forces: its not packaged for ubuntu yet. | 04:50 |
| edbian | forces: It was released yesterday for windows | 04:50 |
| nadine | I can't get sound from my logitech usb headset in ubuntu 9.04, it's worked in every other version of ubuntu | 04:50 |
| forces | when will be ready for linux? | 04:51 |
| gogeta | forces: when its done | 04:51 |
| Pici | forces: After its done being tested, just like the factoid says. | 04:51 |
| pedestrianentran | using the mv command, how can i move ONLY directories, not files? | 04:51 |
| forces | ok, I have another pc with hardy | 04:51 |
| forces | how can I install flash 10 in hardy? | 04:51 |
| scunizi | pedestrianentran: so you don't want the files in the directories to move? | 04:51 |
| gogeta | pedestrianentran: mv -d | 04:52 |
| forces | and openoffice if its possible | 04:52 |
| ytoox | I installed banshee and tangerine music sharing with it, but no one on the network can access my music | 04:52 |
| edbian | forces: Right to the point aren't we? Do you know what the repos are?? | 04:52 |
| pedestrianentran | gogeta: thanks! i cant beleive its that easy... | 04:52 |
| forces | hardy repos come with flash 9 | 04:52 |
| Ghoti_ | pedestrianentran: for a in /path/to/source/*; do [ -d $a ] && mv $a /path/to/destination/; done | 04:52 |
| nadine | so nobody knows anytyhing abut sound? | 04:52 |
| forces | and openoffice 2.4 | 04:52 |
| edbian | forces: Then I'm assuming you can install open-office. | 04:52 |
| Ghoti_ | gogeta: mv -d would be easier, I suppose :) | 04:52 |
| forces | sorry | 04:53 |
| nadine | I've tried pulse and alsa and no joy | 04:53 |
| forces | I want openoffice 3 | 04:53 |
| forces | :P | 04:53 |
| edbian | forces: Are you sure you want these on hardy? | 04:53 |
| pedestrianentran | Ghoti: yeah i don't think move -d works though... | 04:53 |
| edbian | forces: If you simply upgrade to 9.04 you'll have open office 3 and flash 10 will be in your repos. | 04:53 |
| Hilikus | edbian how do i install flash 10? | 04:54 |
| edbian | Hilikus: On ubuntu 9.04?? | 04:54 |
| Hilikus | yes | 04:54 |
| forces | the problem is the graphic card | 04:54 |
| geirha | pedestrianentran: mv */ /path/to/destination | 04:54 |
| forces | jaunty has problem with intel graphic card | 04:54 |
| edbian | Hilikus: open synaptic and search "flash" | 04:54 |
| pedestrianentran | geirha: outstanding | 04:54 |
| Hilikus | edbian: i installed something to play flash but it sometimes doesn't work in some videos so i'm assuming its because those are flash 10 | 04:54 |
| forces | and hardy is more stable | 04:54 |
| edbian | Hilikus: You are using the open source flash player (only works on some sites). Do you have synaptic open / searched? | 04:55 |
| Jordan_U | forces: What problem were you having with intel and jaunty? The main crashing bug ( which also meant that compiz was disabled ) has been fixed in updates | 04:55 |
| edbian | forces: Check out backporting. It allows you to get packages from repos that are newer than your current ubuntu version's repos. | 04:55 |
| Hilikus | edbian i'll search for flash | 04:55 |
| edbian | forces: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports | 04:56 |
| edbian | Hilikus: ok :) Let me know when you're ready :) | 04:56 |
| Pici | edbian: Err.. people actually have to package those applications for prior releases, its not an automatic process. | 04:56 |
| gogeta | Hilikus: flash 10 is in ubuntu | 04:56 |
| Hilikus | edbian: flashplguin-installer? | 04:57 |
| edbian | Pici: Really? I never backported so I assumed. | 04:57 |
| gogeta | Hilikus: flash-nonfree | 04:57 |
| edbian | Hilikus: First purge all of the flash related packages you have installed. If you have more than one they block each other out when you go to a site. | 04:57 |
| Hilikus | gogeta: This package is a transitional package that can safely be removed after you installed | 04:57 |
| Hilikus | flashplugin-installer. | 04:57 |
| forces | flash in hardy backports doesn't work | 04:57 |
| forces | the package is lost | 04:58 |
| gogeta | Hilikus: its fine | 04:58 |
| nellmathew | forces: another option is to add ubuntu-tweak to your repos (search google) and it'll add support for quickly adding third-party sources to your repos.. (openoffice 3.1, latest firefox (even 4.0 dev), ect..) | 04:58 |
| forces | or was remove | 04:58 |
| edbian | Hilikus: Did you so what I wrote?? | 04:58 |
| Hilikus | edbian: i don't remember which ones, how can i search for that? | 04:58 |
| forces | ok i'll check that | 04:58 |
| forces | thanks | 04:58 |
| edbian | Hilikus: All of the ones that are green boxes are installed. You can sort them by green / not-green. | 04:58 |
| Dragster2006 | hey everybody | 04:58 |
| edbian | Hilikus: Am I making sense? | 04:58 |
| wuqwhu | where can I ask a vpn pptp question? | 04:58 |
| lopeze | Hey, one of my installation hung at Install/Select software on the Heron alternate install. I continued with my installation. Is there anyway to install the software through the command line that comes up from boot? | 04:59 |
| Hilikus | edbian: libswfdec-0.8-0 and swfdec-mozilla | 04:59 |
| nellmathew | lopeze, is it at 6%? | 04:59 |
| Hilikus | edbian: so i remove those? | 04:59 |
| lopeze | Yeah. | 04:59 |
| edbian | Hilikus: That's the open source one :). Yeah remove them | 04:59 |
| edbian | Hilikus: If you search "flash" none of the files that come up should be installed :) | 04:59 |
| edbian | Hilikus: Once it is in that state then install "flashplugin-nonfree" | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | lopeze: Yes, did you want a desktop install or server install? | 05:00 |
| Hilikus | edbian: k, i'll do that | 05:00 |
| lopeze | Desktop Install. | 05:00 |
| nellmathew | lopeze, the problem is 1) you either burned at a high speed, so try the lowest 8x or something.. or 2) your cd-rom just isn't that great, which was the problem i had. try lowering the burn speed and come back here, PM me if i don't respond. | 05:00 |
| edbian | Hilikus: :) Flash is a little counter-intuitive that way. I think it is a problem. Hopefully they fix it down the line. | 05:00 |
| lopeze | Alright sounds good. | 05:00 |
| lopeze | Thanks I"ll try that out. | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | lopeze: "sudo dpkg --configure -a" then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should do the trick | 05:01 |
| Hilikus | edbian: just out of curiosity, the description seems to imply flashplugin-installer superseeded flashplugin-nonfree | 05:01 |
| Hilikus | is that not true? | 05:01 |
| nellmathew | lopeze, do you have broadband? | 05:01 |
| lopeze | Yes I do. | 05:01 |
| edbian | Hilikus: I don't know. Like I said all of those packages are sort of a mess right now. All I know is that you need "flashplugin-nonfree" That is adobe flash 10 for sure. | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | Hilikus: The name of the package was simply changed, flashplugin-nonfree was the old name, flashplugin-installer is the new name. | 05:02 |
| Hilikus | Jordan_U: so it doesn't matter which one i use | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | Hilikus: Exacltly | 05:03 |
| Hilikus | thanks | 05:03 |
| edbian | Hilikus: Jordan_U: That's news to me but probably true :) | 05:03 |
| xmedex | edbian: i dont understand | 05:04 |
| cxo | I think i asked this before, but i forgot, how do you find the package information from a particular file in the system? the equivalent of rpm -qf | 05:04 |
| jerknextdoor | any help with getting a modem to work in 8.10 | 05:04 |
| nellmathew | lopeze: what i eventually ended up doing (because i tried lowest speed, and no matter what my cd-rom would hang retrieving one package or the other - at 6%, before extracting it) is trying the minimal iso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - when you boot it up type in "cli" and go through the same installation process as you would with alternate (use an ethernet connection, not wifi) and after it's done and you | 05:04 |
| xmedex | edbian: what do you mean by split | 05:04 |
| Jordan_U | cxo: dpkg -S /path/to/file | 05:04 |
| edbian | xmedex: Do you have a pxe server set up now? | 05:04 |
| cxo | S! i tried F | 05:04 |
| edbian | Hilikus: Let me know if you get it working! :) | 05:05 |
| xmedex | edbian: yes | 05:05 |
| edbian | xmedex: One of the configurations is to tell the server what IP's to send the kernel image out to correct? | 05:05 |
| xmedex | edbian: then | 05:05 |
| cxo | Jordan_U, thanks, is there a way of getting more information about that package, than just the name? | 05:06 |
| edbian | xmedex: Just tell each server to send the image out to 1/5 of the ip addresses. Understand? That way the five of them cover the entire network just like the single old one did. | 05:06 |
| cxo | i tried -S -I together, but it didnt like that | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | cxo: apt-cache show package-name | 05:07 |
| xmedex | edbian: i understand but how to? | 05:07 |
| edbian | xmedex: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.51 for server one. 192.168.0.52 - 192.168.0.104 | 05:07 |
| edbian | for server 2 | 05:07 |
| Hilikus | it worked!! thanks a lot edbian | 05:08 |
| edbian | Hilikus: NP! | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | cxo: I don't think there is a built in way to do both at once, it would be trivial to script though | 05:08 |
| edbian | Hilikus: You should have more faith in us :) | 05:08 |
| xmedex | edbian: i can see it | 05:08 |
| edbian | xmedex: I probably am not the best person to ask. I have never set up anything like this before. Perhaps pose the question to everybody else? | 05:09 |
| egasus | i want to ask | 05:09 |
| egasus | a quick question. sudo pecl install memcache | 05:09 |
| jerknextdoor | any help with getting a modem to work in 8.10? | 05:09 |
| egasus | it says pecl isnt found | 05:09 |
| egasus | what can i do? | 05:09 |
| xmedex | edbian: thanks for your help | 05:09 |
| xmedex | edbian: ok | 05:09 |
| edbian | xmedex: sorry I couldn't help more :( | 05:09 |
| xmedex | edbian: np | 05:09 |
| edbian | egasus: What is pecl? What are you trying to do? | 05:09 |
| egasus | i dont know | 05:10 |
| egasus | http://interfacelab.com/nginx-php-fpm-apc-awesome/ | 05:10 |
| egasus | have a look there | 05:10 |
| edbian | egasus: lmao. I have never seen anyone say they "don't know" what they're trying to do :) You made my day there :) | 05:11 |
| cxo | Jordan_U, I switch to ubuntu after using fedora/redhat for over 10yrs. The brain just refuses to remember any dpkg/apt commands | 05:11 |
| edbian | egasus: Also if you're addressing me directly start with my name like I do to you so that I notice what you're saying easier. Thanks :) | 05:11 |
| egasus | :) i mean | 05:11 |
| egasus | i am following the steps there | 05:11 |
| egasus | ok edbian | 05:12 |
| egasus | edbian: ok | 05:12 |
| egasus | :) | 05:12 |
| didi | Is it possible to login as a different user with the gnome-terminal without using ssh? | 05:12 |
| edbian | egasus: You're tying to make a PHP enabled web server? | 05:12 |
| egasus | yes with ncix | 05:12 |
| egasus | edbian: and i am going to eat the nuts | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | didi: su ? | 05:12 |
| didi | Jordan_U: Don't know. I will try. | 05:13 |
| edbian | egasus: lol | 05:13 |
| egasus | edbian: would it be problem if i only use "sudo install memcache " instead of "sudo pecl install memcache" | 05:13 |
| unop | didi, sudo | 05:13 |
| nadine | logitech usb headset made for the PS2 no sound on reformat install of 9.04 | 05:13 |

| juan_ | hello everyone | 05:16 |
| juan_ | I have a question | 05:16 |
| Adola | Do I have to install samba to get 2 ubuntu machines to share files? | 05:16 |
| didi | Here is the line at the fstab: localhost:/wuala /home/user/wuala/direct nfs defaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | cxo: You mean one package? I don't think there is a supported way to upgrade one file | 05:16 |
| SandGorgon | !nfs | Adola | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Adola: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 05:16 |
| cxo | Adola, No. Samba is only used in conjunction with Windows shares | 05:16 |
| cxo | Jordan_U, single package, not one file | 05:17 |
| Apollo2366 | !ask | juan_ | 05:17 |
| ubottu | juan_: 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. :-) | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | cxo: apt-get install ( it also upgrades if there is a newer version available ) | 05:17 |
| cxo | ok | 05:17 |
| Houba1986 | hey, i was wondering, is anyone else experiencing slow flash playback full screen through firefox with ubuntu 9.04? and if so, is there a fix for this? | 05:18 |
| juan_ | I am running a dual startup machine with kUBUNTU and WindowsXP, when I was in Windows, someone on the Messenger attacked my system | 05:18 |
| Adola | Well, the reason I ask is because I've got _This_ machine on dial-up, and I got a netbook recently, I can't connect to dial-up with the netbook, how do I network the netbook and this machine? (Both are ubuntu) | 05:18 |
| juan_ | and he telled me that he knew that I had also Linux | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | Houba1986: browse youtube with totem instead of the browser :) | 05:18 |
| Houba1986 | Jordan_U: does it work with other sites as well? or only youtube? | 05:19 |
| juan_ | Should I have to be affraid of any leak in my Kubuntu system? | 05:19 |
| cxo | juan_, its very very unlikely someone who compromised your windows while in windows, could access the data in the linux partition | 05:20 |
| cxo | juan_, but wherever there is a will, there is a way | 05:20 |
| Rob235 | i dont know what to install next | 05:20 |
| Omarman | Any word yet on firefox 3.5 getting rolled out officially on Ubuntu Netbook Remix Jaunty? | 05:20 |
| legend2440 | cxo: i'm not familiar with rpm -qf. but are you asking for a way to find out which package contains a certain file? | 05:21 |
| Dulak | !ff35 | Omarman | 05:21 |
| ubottu | Omarman: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 05:21 |
| Jordan_U | Houba1986: Only youtube and BBC, you can also often play the flash video with totem by looking for the temporary file flash creates ( /tmp/Flash* )and dailymotion will support playing videos without flash with Firefox 3.5. As for fixing flash itself, I don't know :) | 05:21 |
| Rob235 | 3.5 doesnt seem any different to me, except a bit faster i guess | 05:21 |
| Rob235 | whats supposed to be good about it | 05:21 |
| joebodo | eclipse does not seem to accept the max memory setting in the ini ... am i doing something wrong ? | 05:22 |
| Houba1986 | Jordan_U: so it's not just my computer that's experiencing this problem? | 05:22 |
| Dulak | Rob235: javascript is a lot faster in 3.5 than it was in 3.0, plus html 5 support | 05:22 |
| Rob235 | i see | 05:22 |
| cxo | legend2440, i got it, it was dpkg -S and apt-cache show | 05:22 |
| legend2440 | cxo: ok | 05:22 |
| juan_ | cxo, thanks, when i started linux there was an error "io.slave cannot run ... " or something like that, i ran the update mannager and the error is gone | 05:23 |
| Rob235 | with AWN how do you make it so you can open more than 1 of the same program, i see when you load a program and the icons are different then you can open as many as you want, any other way? | 05:24 |
| chetnick | guys, how can i change default runlevel, in other linux distro i edit /etc/inittab, but in Ubuntu there seems to be no /etc/inittab file. Can somebody help me? | 05:24 |
| Omarman | Thanks.. I'll try to install the beta | 05:24 |
| mheath | This is kind of an odd question, but does anyone know if there is ever a time when / is mounted RW, but the rest of the fstab isn't mounted yet? | 05:24 |
| mheath | OR does startup remount / from RO to RW at about the same time that everything else is mounted? | 05:25 |
| mazda01 | i can't get my iphone to connect via bluetooth. any suggestions on what to use? | 05:25 |
| juan_ | can someone sniff in my computer while I am using linux? | 05:25 |
| bp0 | how can i set up ubuntu so that when i plug in a usb headset it uses that for sound, but when it is unplugged it will use the sound card | 05:25 |
| edbian | mheath: I think I read somewhere that / is never mounted RW (that generally causes massive corruption :D ) | 05:25 |
| Rob235 | a mac | 05:25 |
| Rob235 | jk | 05:25 |
| chetnick | juan_: yes | 05:25 |
| mazda01 | bp0, yes, if you're aren't behind a firewall or router | 05:25 |
| edbian | juan_: Yes but if you are up to date there are no security holes. | 05:26 |
| === MikeChelen0 is now known as MikeChelen | ||
| mneptok | chetnick: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 05:26 |
| mazda01 | bp0, sorry, mean to write that to juan_ | 05:26 |
| unop | chetnick , on ubuntu (and debian) - runlevels 2-5 are all identical, so why do you need to change the default? | 05:26 |
| juan_ | chetnick, what can I do to be protected? | 05:26 |
| mazda01 | juan_,, yes, if you're aren't behind a firewall or router | 05:26 |
| mheath | edbian: that doesn't make sense. If that was true, you could never save a file or install anything, if you had a one partition arrangement. | 05:26 |
| edoceo | If I have an existing Ubuntu machine that's running the 32bit SMP how hard is it to upgrade-in-place to 64bit? | 05:26 |
| chetnick | edbian: if somebody penetrated his network he dont need any holes in OS. they can sniff traffic and do MITM attack. | 05:26 |
| edoceo | Just add the 64bit kernel and then update all packages? | 05:26 |
| chetnick | juan_: protect your network (specially WiFi) | 05:27 |
| edbian | chetnick: I never knew that! Thank you :) | 05:27 |
| geirha | mheath: It's mounted read-only at an early stage, then mounted rw along with the rest of fstab | 05:27 |
| rnd_null | Sorry to interrupt...Quick question: Where is the file that is written by the "Keyboard Shortcuts" app in Ubuntu? | 05:27 |
| chetnick | unop: i need no GUI, i want to boot to runlevel 3. | 05:27 |
| juan_ | I am new in this and I'm not sure to have a firewall, I thought that Ubuntu had one, isn't it? | 05:28 |
| mheath | geirha: so its remounted at *exactly* the same time as the rest of fstab is mounted? (I know its odd I care so much, but I'm attempting something where this actually matters quite a bit) | 05:28 |
| chetnick | unop: i guess that was my question, how do i do that ? | 05:28 |
| unop | chetnick, runlevel 3 is exactly the same as runlevel 2 (ubuntu's default) | 05:28 |
| edbian | mheath: o that's when errors are found. Hence the fstab option: "errors=remount-ro" | 05:28 |
| unop | chetnick, if you don't want a gui .. disable the GDM service | 05:28 |
| unop | !boot | chetnick | 05:28 |
| ubottu | chetnick: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 05:28 |
| juan_ | chetnick; where can I have all the tips to protect my machine? | 05:29 |
| chetnick | unop: isnt the runlevel 5 the same as ubuntus default? | 05:29 |
| unop | chetnick, no, that's with redhat, etc .. with debian.etc - runlevel 2 is the default | 05:29 |
| chetnick | mneptok: thanks i will check that out. | 05:29 |
| Omarman | Firefox 3.5 shows up as Shiretoku? | 05:30 |
| chetnick | unop: yes its default but not the same as runlevel 3 on most of the linux distros. | 05:30 |
| edbian | chetnick: I too would like an answer to juan_'s question. Where can I find a good tutorial for tips on securing my machine? | 05:31 |
| chetnick | thanks everybody, will look into disabling GDM service, or upstart doc. | 05:31 |
| unop | chetnick, why would I tell you something that's not true :) - go have a look for yourself, you'll see /etc/rc2.d/* match up with /etc/rc3.d/* etc | 05:31 |
| edoceo | How do I change my install from i686 to x86_64 ? just update sources.list? | 05:31 |
| chetnick | edbian: uh let me check some good web sites for that. | 05:32 |
| rnd_null | Anyone want to help me out with a keyboard shortcut problem? | 05:32 |
| edbian | chetnick: If you're just gonna google I can do that. You don't need to waste your time on me :D | 05:32 |
| mneptok | edoceo: hardly. the easiest and most pain-free way is to re-install. less likely to suffer breakage. | 05:32 |
| edoceo | shit | 05:33 |
| Omarman | Ok.. I have Shiretoko installed.. And yes, It's what firefox 3.5 shows up as on Linux. I love that the stable firefox stays installed as well.. WTG! | 05:33 |
| cxo | rnd_null, i'll give it a shot | 05:33 |
| chetnick | juan_: edbian You can start from here, http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/wireless_secure.htm | 05:33 |
| Jordan_U | edoceo: You can re-use your /home among other things | 05:33 |
| juan_ | chetnick, thank you | 05:33 |
| heroe_01 | que tal chivita | 05:34 |
| chetnick | yeah, just google it and you will find plenty info. | 05:34 |
| Omarman | When ff3.5 final gets pushed up to repository, will it uninstall 3.0? | 05:34 |
| chetnick | np, anytime. | 05:34 |
| edoceo | yea - my vendor deployed with wrong version, now I have to start almost-all-over - | 05:34 |
| rnd_null | cxo: ok, i've defined a keyboard shortcut with the gnome app for that...then I updated...now it does not work and will no work...so- how to I access the file for that and edit myself to fix it? | 05:34 |
| edbian | chetnick: Thanks :) | 05:34 |
| heroe_01 | chivita? eestas ahi? | 05:34 |
| lstarnes | Omarman: I don't think so. It will likely be a separate package | 05:34 |
| rnd_null | cxo: sorry- bad grammar | 05:35 |
| cxo | rnd_null, the app for setting shortcuts stopped working? | 05:35 |
| Omarman | lstarnes, thanks.. I can do the uninstall myself when 3.5 becomes official | 05:35 |
| Jordan_U | edoceo: Is there any specific reason why you don't want to re-install? ( there may be a way to get the same effect you want without "upgrading" in place ) | 05:35 |
| denbei | What is the recommended way to manage bandwidth? I've heard HTB, TCNG. But the tutorials I found seems too old. Is there any better way? | 05:35 |
| rnd_null | cxo: nope, all my shortcuts still work *except* for the one that opens my web browser | 05:35 |
| cxo | rnd_null, And it worked before the update? | 05:36 |
| edoceo | Jordan_U: does the server install wipe out what's already there? If not I can install on-top-of and keep my configs (in /etc and /var/www and other odd places) | 05:36 |
| rnd_null | cxo: i've redefined it a couple of times and it still won't work...i was hoping that someone would be able to tell me where the file is that has the shortcut definitions...yes, it worked before the update | 05:36 |
| geirha | mheath: It's done a little bit sooner, in /etc/init.d/checkroot | 05:37 |
| rnd_null | cxo: it hasn't worked for over a year now...i just haven't gotten around to messing with it until now | 05:37 |
| cxo | rnd_null, Ok, give me a minute, i think i know where the file is, but i think the problem might be due to a change in X server or driver | 05:38 |

| Wzcocoon | yes | 05:45 |

| halberd | ok | 06:24 |
| phrontist | scunizi: yeah, that's the portable HDD | 06:24 |
| [WOLF]Roscoe | I'm rather new to Ubuntu and the Gnome shell. Would somebody mind answering a question for me? | 06:24 |
| phrontist | but my MP3's have crazy unicode characters in their filenames | 06:25 |
| scunizi | phrontist: not likely unless all the other partitions are also on the portable | 06:25 |
| chetnick | [WOLF]Roscoe: nobody will answer you that question. just ask. | 06:25 |
| halberd | chetnick, new programs that I start don't show up on the panel, do they? | 06:25 |
| halberd | I don't think there's a way to enable that | 06:25 |
| phrontist | scunizi: oh reaaallly... | 06:25 |
| chetnick | halberd: some of them, skype does, vlc does, etc .... | 06:25 |
| chetnick | pidgin does too. | 06:25 |
| halberd | oh yeah | 06:25 |
| [WOLF]Roscoe | Chetnick: Fair enough. How the hell do I get my taskbar back? | 06:25 |
| phrontist | which is this large fat32 partition? | 06:26 |
| halberd | I guess xchat does that | 06:26 |
| scunizi | phrontist: sda is drive 1... sdb is drive 2 .. sdc is drive 3 etc.. sda1-6 are partitions on drive 1 | 06:26 |
| scunizi | phrontist: sda2 | 06:26 |
| chetnick | [WOLF]Roscoe: you have any left? | 06:26 |
| chetnick | [WOLF]Roscoe: top bottom? | 06:26 |
| [WOLF]Roscoe | Bottom is gone, top is still there | 06:26 |
| [WOLF]Roscoe | But doesn't show minimized program windows | 06:26 |
| phrontist | scunizi: how big is it? | 06:27 |
| chetnick | [WOLF]Roscoe: right click on the empty space of the top one, and click add new panel. | 06:27 |
| phrontist | (wth is it presented in sectors... why isn't there a -h option?) | 06:27 |
| scunizi | phrontist: I can't tell by block size.. but you might be able to mount it and then check it | 06:27 |
| chetnick | [WOLF]Roscoe: after that, right click on newly created panel and click add to panel, and than find minimized windows, or something like that. | 06:27 |
| halberd | how do I find if my touchpad is synaptics or not? | 06:28 |
| chetnick | can anybody tell me how to connect to wpa protected wifi using terminal? | 06:28 |
| scunizi | halberd: you might try lspci in a terminal | 06:28 |
| phrontist | ohhhhhhh | 06:28 |
| halberd | chetnick, you use iwconfig | 06:28 |
| phrontist | the FAT32 is a dell rescue thing | 06:28 |
| halberd | scunizi, lspci shows nothing relevant as far as I can see | 06:28 |
| halberd | it doesn't show touchpads | 06:28 |
| chetnick | halberd: hehe, how? iwconfig wont work without wpa_supplement .... | 06:28 |
| scunizi | halberd: try sudo lshw.. you'll get lots more info | 06:28 |
| [WOLF]Roscoe | chetnick, thanks very much | 06:29 |
| chetnick | [WOLF]Roscoe: np, anytime. | 06:29 |
| halberd | scunizi, I tried lshw and looked through it but didn't see anything that said touchpad or mouse | 06:29 |
| phrontist | scunizi: not very big... 2GB or so :-/ | 06:29 |
| halberd | I'll try a grep | 06:29 |
| scunizi | phrontist: sda1 might be the media button .. | 06:29 |
| phrontist | media button? | 06:30 |
| chetnick | halberd: i know how to connect to wpa using iwconfig, but not wpa, i found how to connect to wpa using wpa_supplement, but in 9.04 wpa_supplement.conf does not exist, so something is changed ... and now i am stuck. | 06:30 |
| phrontist | well in any case | 06:30 |
| halberd | yeah grep shows nothing in lshw that says either pad or mouse | 06:30 |
| phrontist | what I need to do is rename all my mp3's to remove bad characters | 06:30 |
| halberd | chetnick, I thought it was wpa_supplicant | 06:31 |
| scunizi | halberd: how 'bout wacom? | 06:31 |
| soreau | phrontist: You could probably write a one liner in bash (ask in #bash) | 06:31 |
| phrontist | the perl "rename" utility should do it | 06:31 |
| phrontist | I'm kind of hesitant though | 06:31 |
| halberd | scunizi, no... although funny coincidence I do also own a wacom tablet | 06:31 |
| scunizi | phrontist: copy some of the files to a different directory and try it there. | 06:32 |
| phrontist | scunizi: oh, not about that | 06:32 |
| phrontist | I'm confident I can make it work properly (though I will test on a small case first) | 06:32 |
| phrontist | I'm just afraid I'll overwrite something inadvertaently | 06:33 |
| phrontist | if I have fæl.mp3 and fael.mp3 | 06:33 |
| SnakDoc | any of you use lilo instead of grub ? | 06:34 |
| phrontist | SnakDoc: I would avoid LILO if possible | 06:34 |
| halberd | this touchpad has an annoyingly shorter shift key, it doesn't extend all the way below the enter key | 06:35 |
| SnakDoc | whats difference ? kind of what i was wondering haven't seen much about it | 06:35 |
| === tcoread1 is now known as tcoread | ||
| halberd | that's a nuisance for me, when I want to type a pipeline | | 06:35 |
| Campfire | how do fdisk on ubuntu on a lap top with only one slot for a hard drive in terminal to tranfer to none working pc | 06:35 |
| phrontist | LILO is, as I understand it, just a less featurful bootloader that's semi-deprecated | 06:35 |
| phrontist | it's smaller, I think | 06:35 |
| phrontist | which might make it useful in embedded apps or something | 06:35 |
| * phrontist shrugs | 06:36 | |
| phrontist | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LILO | 06:36 |
| SnakDoc | ok just wounder :) | 06:36 |
| koshari | phrontist can you use easytag? | 06:37 |
| Campfire | can i ask a question | 06:37 |
| phrontist | koshari: yes, and I have :-) | 06:37 |
| phrontist | that's kind of the problem | 06:37 |
| phrontist | now I have mp3's with crazy unicode chars in them | 06:37 |
| phrontist | that i can't backup to a FAT32 partition | 06:38 |
| phrontist | which is all I've got :-/ | 06:38 |
| phrontist | long story... | 06:38 |
| phrontist | anyway "rename" will avoid overwrite by default | 06:38 |
| phrontist | so that's the ticket | 06:38 |
| phrontist | thanks for all your help scunizi | 06:38 |
| scunizi | phrontist: :) | 06:38 |
| Campfire | get help and try to help other people | 06:39 |
| Campfire | you rick | 06:39 |
| Campfire | rock | 06:39 |
| WIGGMPk | Can someone explain why I have a /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-server ??? I never installed any server images or kernels | 06:39 |
| halberd | I heard that in avant window navigator, you can slide it to one side or the other | 06:40 |
| halberd | is that true? | 06:40 |
| halberd | I want to put it over to the left of the bottom of the screen | 06:40 |
| WIGGMPk | that depends on what "it" is | 06:40 |
| Campfire | modules mean its a program? | 06:41 |
| Campfire | or you have to make install | 06:41 |
| Hilikus | what determines the permission in the client of a samba share once mounted? | 06:41 |
| Hilikus | for some reason the mount point is root:sambashare but when i mount the share it becomes all 115:ntp | 06:42 |
| WIGGMPk | Hilikus: whoever set the samba share up, determines user permission.. | 06:42 |
| Campfire | i never tryed samba | 06:42 |
| Campfire | hows samba treating you | 06:43 |
| Hilikus | WIGGMPk: in the server side i have everything using something different altogether | 06:43 |
| mase_work | Campfire: it's pretty useful. I replaced a windows 2k8 fileserver recently because it was having performance issues | 06:43 |
| bazhang | Campfire, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:43 |
| WIGGMPk | Hilikus: I have no idea what you are trying to tell me | 06:43 |
| Campfire | ok | 06:43 |
| jeffs | hi...can any one show me how to use the 3d desktop switcher?? | 06:43 |
| bazhang | jeffs, the cube? | 06:44 |
| P_Kable | hi, someone has nfs server installed ? where are LOGS ? | 06:44 |
| Hilikus | WIGGMPk: the permisions of the folders in the server are ok to be shared. they have rw access and the client uses that same user to mount it. problem is once the client mounts it, it sees the permissions screwed. not to what they are in the server | 06:45 |
| bazhang | jeffs, install ccsm, make sure you have the 3D drivers for your card, and set (in general) of ccsm virtual horizontal desktops to 4 | 06:45 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | jeffs | 06:45 |
| ubottu | jeffs: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 06:45 |
| mase_work | P_Kable: i dunno about LOGS , but the log files are located in /var/log/ i imagine. proabably /var/log/nfs or something like that | 06:45 |
| P_Kable | mase_work=> that's my problem | 06:45 |
| P_Kable | it is not there | 06:46 |
| P_Kable | :D | 06:46 |
| mase_work | the nfs config files should tell you where they log to , otherwise syslog will tell you | 06:46 |
| angel12 | hey guys quick question: i just install ubuntu server 9.04, and now after a reboot i cannot reload apt or install any packages, but i can ping the us.archive.ubuntu.com server | 06:46 |
| mase_work | P_Kable: that wasn't the problem you stated. | 06:46 |
| WIGGMPk | Hilikus: im not sure then.. if you have the permission set properly then it should work | 06:46 |
| P_Kable | anyway I don't find any log for NFS (that's my problem) | 06:47 |
| halberd | angel12, what a coincidence I also just installed 9.04 (upgrade from 8.10) | 06:47 |
| halberd | like just finished half an hour ago | 06:47 |
| P_Kable | anyone with nfs-kernel-server installed ? | 06:47 |
| \\`oot | Howdy everyone | 06:47 |
| mase_work | P_Kable: what does the nfs config file list for logging ? does it have its own log file or does it use syslog ? | 06:47 |
| \\`oot | Anyone upgrade to FireFix 3.5 yet? | 06:47 |
| u_dparte | anyone that's running 9.04 w/ an nvidia card I highly recommend installing the 185 driver from nvidia ... fixed a ton of issues as well as performance | 06:48 |
| bazhang | !ff35 | \\`oot | 06:48 |
| ubottu | \\`oot: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 06:48 |
| P_Kable | i don't know where the conf file is either mase_work :) | 06:48 |
| nellmathew | lopeze, how'd it go? | 06:48 |
| \\`oot | bazhang: Perfect... I like getting in on the 'testing'... | 06:48 |
| P_Kable | /etc/exports jsute has share definitions | 06:49 |
| P_Kable | just* | 06:49 |
| angel12 | apt just tries to connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com and then doesnt connect | 06:50 |
| angel12 | any ideas? | 06:50 |
| mase_work | angel12: try a different archive ? | 06:50 |
| vise | Hi.. I installed Qemu and SDL on my ubuntu 8.10... But qemu cannot initialize SDL since, as i found on the web, SDL in ubuntu does not get the frame buffer. Can someone suggest a workaround. I really need to run Qemu.. | 06:50 |
| angel12 | mase_work: im trying to apt-get update | 06:50 |
| angel12 | it just worked about 15 minutes ago | 06:51 |
| u_dparte | angel12, you need to modify your sources to look for another repo | 06:51 |
| angel12 | i cant install any packages from apt | 06:51 |
| mase_work | angel12: i don't see how that prevents you from trying a different server | 06:51 |
| u_dparte | but apt-get update is working fine for me and I'm using us.archive | 06:51 |
| mase_work | dns issue maybe ? | 06:52 |
| linuxguy2009 | Hey guys is there any kind of keyboard shortcut or anything that when I want to have an app open and a nautilus window open that I can press a key combination or do something to make it faster to get both windows side by side using the whole desktop rather than manually resizing each and every time? Just wondering it would be very helpful. | 06:52 |
| angel12 | i can ping it fine | 06:52 |
| mase_work | angel12: that doesn't mean that it's pinging the right server :) | 06:53 |
| mase_work | what IP address do you get for it? | 06:53 |
| sagredo | yo crew | 06:53 |
| sagredo | what's up | 06:53 |
| angel12 | 91.189.88.46 | 06:53 |
| u_dparte | angel12, i get 91.189.88.31 | 06:54 |

| vise | Hi.. I installed Qemu and SDL on my ubuntu 8.10... But qemu cannot initialize SDL since, as i found on the web, SDL in ubuntu does not get the frame buffer. Can someone suggest a workaround. I really need to run Qemu.. | 06:54 |
| lucax1 | any ideas about that program? | 06:54 |
| bullgard4 | After dist-upgrade 8.04.2 > 8.10 > 9.04 I cannot switch on my WiFi adapter 2200BG any more pressing Ctrl+Alt+W. The Linux kernel module ipw2200 is loaded. /lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/ubuntu/misc/acerhk.ko exists. How to fix that? | 06:55 |
| bazhang | lucax1, uck is easier imo there are other options as well | 06:55 |
| bazhang | !remaster | lucax1 | 06:55 |
| ubottu | lucax1: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 06:55 |
| u_dparte | vise, why qemu? | 06:55 |
| u_dparte | why not something like virtualbox or wine? | 06:55 |
| koshari | whats shiretoko? | 06:56 |
| lucax1 | i want to make it out of my current installation | 06:56 |
| angel12 | ugg | 06:56 |
| vise | u_dparte, I do osdev, and I need something that quickly goes through the bios stage, since i code and run pretty often... | 06:56 |
| angel12 | im a b00n, i turned on the firewall lol | 06:56 |
| bazhang | lucax1, a clone? | 06:57 |
| bullgard4 | What is the command-line command to switch on a WiFi adapter having the driver ipw2200? | 06:57 |
| u_dparte | vise, ic ... can't help you then, I don't have any exp. with it | 06:57 |
| shahalam | hi all | 06:58 |
| lucax1 | bazhang: yeah i want to make a dist type cd with my current ubuntu... like one of the options of remastersys, but the thing is that ive installed the 2.6.30 kernel, and for some reason remastersys doesnt work with it... i can do it with 2.6.28 kernel but not .30 | 06:58 |
| u_dparte | bullgard4, when I need to switch wifi interfaces I do sudo ifconfig <wifi interface> down | 06:58 |
| u_dparte | sudo ifconfig <other wifi interface> up | 06:58 |
| vise | u_dparte, Have you ever run qemu/virtualbox for windows, in wine? Or that would be too slow.. :( | 06:58 |
| sagredo | yo crew | 06:58 |
| sagredo | whilst | 06:59 |
| sagredo | trying to connect to the internet | 06:59 |
| shahalam | i plan to buy a tv tuner card can any one suggest me a good one compatible with ubuntu 9.04 ? | 06:59 |
| sagredo | what should I install | 06:59 |
| u_dparte | I've run XP/osX in virtualbox without any issues | 06:59 |
| sagredo | to get the little wireless icon in my taskbar | 06:59 |
| sagredo | so I can click it and see available networks | 06:59 |
| koshari | shahalam usb or pci? | 06:59 |
| mase_work | u_dparte: OSX works in VB ? | 06:59 |
| shahalam | pci | 06:59 |
| u_dparte | mase_work, ... very carefully | 06:59 |
| koshari | dvico ones work well | 06:59 |
| u_dparte | mase_work, it's not what you would call stable | 07:00 |
| Wzcocoon | Hello every body, I just ugraded to 9.4 and under 8.4 I coud use compix with my graphic cart nvidia but now I cannot any longer any idea what can be adjusted to make it work? thank | 07:00 |
| u_dparte | Wzcocoon, have you install nvidia drivers? | 07:00 |
| dangerdave | Is there an official AMI for 9.04, or are there only AMIs for Intrepid and Hardy? | 07:00 |
| Wzcocoon | I have the driver 180.44 installed | 07:00 |
| BlackDex | hello there | 07:01 |
| BlackDex | i have a problem with my hdd | 07:01 |
| BlackDex | when i run e2fsck -f i get a view questions | 07:01 |
| u_dparte | have you run sudo nividia-config | 07:01 |
| BlackDex | and i don't realy know what they do | 07:01 |
| Wzcocoon | nop | 07:01 |
| u_dparte | try that first | 07:01 |
| Wzcocoon | will do that now | 07:01 |
| BlackDex | entry x has an invalide inode. clear (y) | 07:01 |
| u_dparte | it will setup your xorg.conf | 07:01 |
| BlackDex | What happens when i select yes? | 07:01 |
| BlackDex | does it remove the associated file | 07:01 |
| mase_work | u_dparte: we have a piece of software that we wanted to test in OSX but the macbook we have is broken. So we have a free licence and all we wanted bought the macbook for was testing an application that we had written | 07:01 |
| shahalam | thanks koshari | 07:01 |
| Wzcocoon | sudo: nividia-config: command not found | 07:02 |
| WIGGMPk | BlackDex: just run "e2fsck -f -y" | 07:02 |
| BlackDex | WIGGMPk: i did that | 07:02 |
| bazhang | Wzcocoon, nvidia | 07:02 |
| BlackDex | but then it complains about having it to run manualy | 07:02 |
| u_dparte | Wzcocoon, lemme check real quick .. i just ran it for the 185 driver | 07:02 |
| WIGGMPk | BlackDex: what do you mean 'complains' | 07:02 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick | ||
| u_dparte | Wzcocoon, nvidia-xconfig | 07:03 |
| BlackDex | it gives me an kind of error message.. saying that i have to run e2fsck manually.. without -a or -p | 07:03 |
| BlackDex | ah | 07:03 |
| BlackDex | wait | 07:03 |
| BlackDex | you have -y | 07:03 |
| FloodBot3 | BlackDex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:03 |
| BlackDex | tssss | 07:03 |
| Wzcocoon | I just got WARNING messqges | 07:03 |
| u_dparte | mase_work, I would suggest doing a google search for how to run osX ... it's not really supported esp. in here | 07:03 |
| BlackDex | but clearing an inode wont remove the file? | 07:04 |
| WIGGMPk | BlackDex: why are you running fsck anyway? if the drive is marked clean then you dont need to run it | 07:04 |
| u_dparte | Wzcocoon, did you run as sudo? | 07:04 |
| Wzcocoon | yes | 07:04 |
| mase_work | u_dparte: just interesting to note, it's not high on our priority list as we only have a few customers that care and they are reasonably technical. | 07:05 |
| BlackDex | WIGGMPk: well during boot. it gave an error | 07:05 |
| WIGGMPk | BlackDex: then you dont need the -f to run it if there is an error.. -f forces checking even if the filesystem is marked clean | 07:06 |
| u_dparte | mase_work, ya - I don't really use osX except for testing ... and walking clients through installs etc... | 07:06 |
| mase_work | u_dparte: yeh its not my cup of tea either | 07:06 |
| WIGGMPk | mase_work: installed MAC OSX on ANYTHING other than Apple hardware violates the EULA and is not for a good topic of conversation in this chat. | 07:07 |
| Thingymebob | Wzcocoon: Had similar with mine had to add the following to the "screen" section in my xorg.conf | 07:07 |
| Thingymebob | Option"AddARGBGLXVisuals""True" | 07:07 |
| mase_work | WIGGMPk: ah crap | 07:08 |
| lucax1 | this is giving me a really really hard time... | 07:08 |
| u_dparte | WIGGMPk, ... not true ... if you look at their license it is now a 1 machine agreement ... however you are right that is irrelevant | 07:08 |
| WIGGMPk | mase_work: im not saying "it cant be done" but it definitely is frowned upon in here and by Apple | 07:08 |
| bazhang | it's not legal and offtopic here | 07:08 |
| bullgard4 | u_dparte: What do you mean by <other wifiinterface>? | 07:09 |
| WIGGMPk | u_dparte: I work for a company that ships every Apple product on the East Coast of the US, the license is like that for a reason lol | 07:09 |
| u_dparte | bullgard4, I have a wifi1 and wifi0 -- -two diff. wifi cards | 07:09 |
| u_dparte | to switch between the two you bring 1 down and 1 up | 07:09 |
| u_dparte | visa versa to switch them | 07:09 |
| bullgard4 | u_dparte: Your messages do not answer the question which have put. | 07:10 |
| davidguard | Hey all. I'm wondering if I can some advice for a friend. He tells me that after a recent upgrade ATI drivers in the repositories caused his monitor to become bricked. What could have caused this? Could it be: Ubuntu/Canonical not testing the driver sufficiently before including it in the repository; him using binary drivers; him not being careful enough. The reason I'm asking is because he is saying this is his reason fo | 07:10 |
| bazhang | jeffs, you have ccsm installed? (here and not via PM) | 07:10 |
| digitaltao | ek | 07:11 |
| bazhang | jeffs, please answer here (NOT PM) | 07:11 |
| Jordan_U | davidguard: What makes him think that the drivers bricked the monitor? If it wasn't a CRT then I don't see how that would be possible, and even then not likely. | 07:11 |
| mase_work | WIGGMPk: i don't want to do anything illegal and i'd rather not support that platform if thats the approach they are taking. | 07:12 |
| jeffs | yes its installed | 07:12 |
| WIGGMPk | davidguard: well.. I would start by assuring him that a driver can not "brick" a monitor.. | 07:12 |
| halberd | is it possible to get wicd to connect automatically to known wireless networks? | 07:12 |
| bazhang | jeffs, open ccsm and look at general settings (general) | 07:12 |
| halberd | known = connected to them before | 07:12 |
| vise | Ok.. one more question... Is it possible to cleanly uninstall a program which was installed using 'make install' from the source tarball? Most programs don't have an uninstall script in their Makefile. Or is there a program that would parse and reverse changes by looking at the install script in the Makefile? | 07:12 |
| davidguard | Jordan_U: He says that was the case. I have no idea whether it's true or whether he even knows what he's talking about. That's why I'm asking. | 07:12 |
| jeffs | ok | 07:12 |
| u_dparte | bullgard4, what are you trying to do exactly | 07:12 |
| davidguard | WIGGMPk: that's good news. I can tell him that. | 07:13 |
| halberd | vise I don't think that's likely... maybe someone has tried | 07:13 |
| bazhang | jeffs, under General Options (top row) click on Desktop Size | 07:13 |
| jeffs | ok | 07:13 |
| halberd | vise often a program will say where it installs things | 07:13 |
| davidguard | Does anyone have any other related info I could use to continue advocating Ubuntu to him? | 07:13 |
| halberd | vise like in the readme | 07:13 |
| bazhang | then horizontal virtual size set to 4 jeffs | 07:13 |
| WIGGMPk | davidguard: drivers can not render hardware (the monitor) useless.. he most likely does not have the ATI drivers installed correctly, or does not have the xserver setup properly. Its tough to say without providing information and config files | 07:13 |
| halberd | vise so to uninstall it you could simply remove wherever it said it installed to | 07:13 |
| vise | halberd, Yes, but there are a lot of locations... It takes time to remove them all.. It puts configurations, binaries and icons etc... | 07:14 |
| halberd | using your good judgment | 07:14 |
| jeffs | thanks | 07:14 |
| davidguard | WIGGMPk: so that main thing is it's not Ubuntu's fault... right? | 07:14 |
| digitaltao | Anyone here install Firefox 3.5 yet? | 07:14 |
| u_dparte | digitaltao, yes | 07:14 |
| jeffs | are you a bot | 07:14 |
| u_dparte | works great | 07:14 |
| digitaltao | Is it much quicker?? | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | davidguard: CRT or LCD? I really doubt that even a CRT could be bricked, but I am willing to say it might be possible ( too high a refresh rate might concievably cause problems with a CRT ), an LCD on the other hand I don't know how it would be possible. | 07:15 |
| bazhang | !ff35 | digitaltao try yourself | 07:15 |
| ubottu | digitaltao try yourself: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 07:15 |
| u_dparte | digitaltao, fairly - I haven't noticed the big 50% increase like they claim | 07:15 |
| WIGGMPk | davidguard: well.. technically no.. if he installed the drivers 'the ubuntu way' then no, its not Ubuntu's fault.. If he started by using binaries from ATI and switched to Ubuntu's repositories for the driver than its definitely a config issue | 07:15 |
| bullgard4 | u_dparte: After dist-upgrade 8.04.2 > 8.10 > 9.04 I cannot switch on my WiFi adapter 2200BG any more pressing Ctrl+Alt+W. The Linux kernel module ipw2200 is loaded. /lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/ubuntu/misc/acerhk.ko exists. How to fix that? | 07:15 |
| digitaltao | oh | 07:15 |
| digitaltao | i think i will just wget the non real deal | 07:16 |
| digitaltao | ***er the non beta | 07:16 |
| WIGGMPk | davidguard: I have never used ATI drivers on Ubuntu but have heard of them being troublesome.. If its relatively similar to nvidia drivers than Ubuntu should be able to handle them. | 07:16 |
| davidguard | Jordan_U: At this stage I'm unware of the monitor type... he's an old friend I haven't seen in about 10 years... I recently only came in contact with him through Facebook. His replies to a status update are causing anyone seeing them to be misled, if what he's saying is untrue of course. | 07:16 |
| u_dparte | digitaltao, they have them in one of the repos ... my upgrade last night caught it and upgraded | 07:16 |
| u_dparte | i think its the proposed repo | 07:16 |
| croddy | hello, is there a way to configure grub to wait forever for me to select a kernel before it boots? | 07:17 |
| jeffs | how do I make sure that my video card drivers are properly installed? | 07:17 |
| high-rez | So... I just tried to install and it hung at "scanning the mirror"./ | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | croddy: Yes | 07:17 |
| u_dparte | bullgard4, I'm not sure ... dist-upgrades are not ideal IMO ... try running system>>administration >> hardware drivers to see if you need to install one | 07:17 |
| davidguard | Thanks for the advice guys. I will try explaining that so that no one gets the wrong idea. | 07:18 |
| dinar | всем привет | 07:18 |
| bazhang | dinar, #ubuntu-ru | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | croddy: IIRC if you remove the "timeout" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst it won't boot anything automatically but let me check before you try that. | 07:19 |
| croddy | that seems to cause it to instantly boot the default entry | 07:19 |
| davidguard | Oh one other question: does Ubuntu have dual screen support... I've never tried. | 07:19 |
| bazhang | !xrandr | davidguard | 07:20 |
| ubottu | davidguard: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 07:20 |
| === infidel2sum1 is now known as infidel2s | ||
| Jordan_U | davidguard: Yes, but how easy / stable it is depends on the driver | 07:20 |
| davidguard | Thanks bazhang I'll have a look. | 07:20 |
| davidguard | Jordan_U: thanks for that. | 07:21 |
| high-rez | Man what the heck - I see posts about this from like two years ago and its still not been fixed. What a terrible user experience. | 07:22 |
| boozler | I'm running desktop effects with this video card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121019 and it's performing rather poorly... Can any one confirm that they would expect this card to perform poorly (other hardware aside) | 07:22 |
| Jordan_U | croddy: Commenting out / removing the timeout line should do it ( just checked ). | 07:23 |
| croddy | ok, thanks | 07:23 |
| davidguard | Oh one last point of clarification: this could not have been caused by simply upgrading? Yes/No? | 07:25 |

| indus | Gunther: i think xforwarding is the issue you have , make sure you set it up on the server | 08:29 |
| Thingymebob | !ff35 | 08:29 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 08:29 |
| AndorinKato | Hi, guys! A little while back my multimedia keys on my laptop (Play/Pause, Stop, etc) stopped working for any music player. I know it's not a hardware issue since Ubuntu detects the usage of the keys themselves; they just don't function. Their keyboard shortcut assignments haven't changed. Any thoughts? | 08:31 |
| indus | rubydiamond:i suggest you directly download ff from mozilla | 08:31 |
| rubydiamond | indus, then how can I install it? | 08:32 |
| indus | rubydiamond: go to site and download | 08:32 |
| indus | www.getfirefox.com | 08:32 |
| AndorinKato | I think it happened after I installed a small group of updates via the Update Manager. However, on my other Jaunty install on my PC, the keys work fine. | 08:32 |
| rubydiamond | indus, but it will break apt ff | 08:32 |
| ziroday | indus: please don't recommend that. | 08:32 |
| indus | rubydiamond: no it wont its not a deb file | 08:33 |
| ziroday | rubydiamond: follow the factoid given to you above. Wait patiently or use the mozilla-security PPA if you have to | 08:33 |
| indus | rubydiamond: ziroday:well,iam using the ff beta from synaptic | 08:33 |
| tweaker25 | someone can tell why some softwares need more hardware on linux than windows and why linux always grow bigger in hardware specifications need when it only does the same things as before ??? | 08:33 |
| indus | ziroday: whatas wrong with using it from mozilla? works fine | 08:34 |
| AndorinKato | tweaker25: It's the other way around... Ubuntu needs 4 GB of HD space when it's installed, and Windows 7 needs 16 GB. | 08:34 |
| jschiff | tweaker25: examples? | 08:34 |
| ziroday | indus: if you'll join me in #ubuntu-offtopic I'll explain why using the packages to source from mozilla.org is not a good idea | 08:34 |
| AndorinKato | Linux runs a lot better on older computers than Windows. | 08:34 |
| indus | ziroday: ok | 08:34 |
| tweaker25 | miro software is a good example ... linux isn't windows so cut the comparaison there ... | 08:35 |
| tweaker25 | yep it run better but where cutting at it slowly with ubuntu and ubuntu just do the same as other distros | 08:36 |
| AndorinKato | Does anyone have any suggestions for the problem I described above? | 08:36 |
| * tweaker25 wait and pray for the next xubuntu-killer lubuntu as an official distro !!! | 08:37 | |
| AndorinKato | tweaker25: Ubuntu is actually a more resource-hungry distro because of its fancy GUI and desktop effects. | 08:37 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: have you tried reconfiguring those shortcuts? | 08:37 |
| AndorinKato | So I'm not really sure what you're asking about. | 08:37 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I have; I've tried assigning the functions to different keys, and those don't work either. Hence, not hardware issue. | 08:38 |
| tweaker25 | AndorinKato some software need a little more on linux than on windows, the softwares need more tweaking or what ? | 08:38 |

| Slemming | AndorinKato: do they generate an event? | 08:42 |
| Alumin | anybody know where I can edit my Xorg configuration now? This new idea of "we don't need xorg.conf, everything's auto-detected" is fine and dandy until something breaks and you need to tweak one thing :) | 08:42 |

| Slemming | (run xev from a terminal) | 08:43 |

| Slemming | AndorinKato: Where are you trying to bind the keys? | 08:43 |

| Slemming | assigning shortcuts | 08:44 |
| jschiff | Alumin: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:44 |

| Alumin | jschiff: that's where I would expect to find it, yeah | 08:44 |

| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| AndorinKato | Uh... well, for example, I'm trying to assign Fn+Home (on a laptop) to XF86AudioPlay. Is that the sort of answer you're looking for? | 08:45 |
| hossam | hello, i am trying to enable multiple backgrounds for my workspaces and tried to follow this tutorial http://anuragbansal.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/how-to-get-different-wallpapers-on-each-workspace-in-ubuntu/ | 08:45 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Aren't those hardwired? | 08:45 |
| jschiff | Alumin: you try a "mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.bak}" then a "Xorg -configure" and using that config? | 08:45 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: /etc/hal/fdi/policy/47-some-logical-policy-name.fdi | 08:45 |
| hossam | but now compiz cube doesnt have the background option since ubuntu 9.04 | 08:45 |
| Slemming | as in "does the fn key alone generate an event?" | 08:45 |
| hossam | is there anythign i can do to get this background feature back? | 08:46 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It does not. | 08:46 |
| Alumin | jschiff: my point is that there is no xorg.conf there now...but I'll try the -configure, one sec | 08:46 |
| Verlex | have a good morning to all people in chatt | 08:46 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: lemme see what I have in there | 08:46 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: what you'll wanna do is find a HAL policy file for a synaptics touchpad, and add/tweak options as appropriate. | 08:46 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: And you want fn+home to be assigned to XF86AudioPlay? | 08:46 |
| AndorinKato | But other Fn functions work, like shutting off the screen. My multimedia keys and mute are the only ones that don't work. | 08:46 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Indeed, that's where it normally is. | 08:46 |
| Slemming | what does fn+home generate now? | 08:46 |
| AndorinKato | Nothing., | 08:46 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: Mine is under /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi, I can pastebin the contents for you if you want. | 08:46 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: And that's your hardware issure | 08:47 |
| jschiff | Alumin: "Xorg -configure" then "mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 08:47 |
| Slemming | issue* | 08:47 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: by the way I already followed the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 08:47 |
| jschiff | as root of course | 08:47 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Are you sure? If I assign XF86AudioPlay to another key (say Insert), it still doesn't work. | 08:47 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Okay, maybe I misunderstood your question earlier... apologies. | 08:48 |
| AndorinKato | I'm still rather new to this. ^^; | 08:48 |
| sf_thailand_haii | ubuntu | 08:48 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: I'm not sure about that part (remapping a key to another) | 08:49 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: well, those seem rather decent. If you've updated to xorg-server 1.5 as your X server, then you'll need to edit a HAL policy file rather than the xorg.conf file. | 08:49 |
| hossam | anyone know how to have multiple desktops for your workspaces in ubuntu 9.04? | 08:49 |
| Slemming | but if the OS doesn't detect that fn+home is being pressed, it sounds hard to use that as bindings | 08:49 |
| Slemming | still, it's possible that I'm wrong | 08:49 |
| vl | Sorry if this is a FAQ, but since a kernel update this morning (German time) my windows kvm virtual machine does not boot anymore. | 08:49 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It's what makes me think it's a software thing... plus the fact that they stopped working, like, right after I installed a handful of updates. Also, xev deects Fn+Home, but not Fn alone. | 08:50 |
| vl | Is that a known issue? | 08:50 |
| vl | Running 9.04 | 08:50 |
| FilthyRat | fag | 08:50 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: I think my package versions are on a different track from yours, mine is 1:7.4~5ubuntu1 | 08:50 |
| Alumin | ie the Jaunty version | 08:50 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Ah, so it does detect fn+home? | 08:50 |
| superlinux | i have tutorial videos that i made . They are about debian installation. they are on my server. www.superlinux.net. just click the links. discard the Arabic. videos are in arabic and english at the same time. I hope you download them. they are FREE! | 08:50 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: i don't get it, what's the point of mapping a multimediakey to insert for example. What I do (in amarok for example) is binding 'Next Track' to XF86Forward. That works ... | 08:50 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Not a hardware issue then, probably | 08:50 |
| sf_thailand_haii | #join a2 | 08:50 |
| Slemming | djiezes: I'm thinking other way around, so that insert would be xf86home | 08:51 |
| jschiff | sf_thailand_haii: "/join #a2" | 08:51 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: It was to test whether or not the Fn+Home function was physically broken somehow... which can't be the case since both keys still work. | 08:51 |
| roxie | how do i install java runtime environment on ubuntu netbook remix | 08:51 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: It's not broken if it generates a xev event | 08:51 |
| jschiff | roxie: apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 08:51 |
| djiezes | Slemming , AndorinKato : okay, it was a test, now i got it :) | 08:51 |
| roxie | thankyou | 08:51 |
| AndorinKato | Either way, Insert was just a temporary test; I changed it back. My media player is Songbird 1.2, with the plugin that allows for multimedia key use. The same software that's on my PC, where multimedia keys /do/ work. | 08:51 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: I think copying your HAL config file is probably my best bet at this point; if you don't mind putting yours online I'll gladly snipe it :) | 08:51 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: is it in gnome settings only that it doesnt work, or are you trying a specific application? | 08:51 |
| roxie | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 08:52 |
| roxie | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 08:52 |
| Flannel | roxie: Prefix it with sudo | 08:52 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I tested it in Songbird and in Amarok. | 08:52 |
| u_dparte | roxie, sudo | 08:52 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: yeah, that version number you quoted was the xorg-x11 front, not the xorg-server version. I think post-7.3 uses xorg-server 1.5, so you do need to use HAL policies. | 08:52 |
| jschiff | ubuntus sudo paradigm is annoying | 08:52 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: just a sec | 08:52 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: and in Amarok, in 'Global Shortcuts' ? | 08:52 |
| Slemming | roxie: You can't install stuff when you | 08:52 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I'll check real quick just to make sure it's assigned. | 08:52 |
| roxie | k | 08:53 |
| roxie | ty | 08:53 |
| Slemming | roxie: are not admin, that's why it needs sudo | 08:53 |
| AndorinKato | I can't remember whether I've used Amarok before on this computer. | 08:53 |
| Alumin | jschiff: I tried the "Xorg -configure" deal and when I launch with that config I just get a black screen and an error saying "get fences failed: -1" | 08:53 |
| jschiff | never heard that error before | 08:53 |
| Alumin | I have to go back to the invoking terminal and Ctrl-C, it doesn't respond to ctrl-alt-backspace | 08:53 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Where do you map "fn+home" to XF86Home? | 08:53 |
| jschiff | Well you can thank ubuntu for ctrl-alt-backspace not working | 08:53 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: I'd also recommend reading the man page for the synaptics driver once you write out my policy file and restart X | 08:53 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Nope, it doesn't work in Amarok either. | 08:53 |
| Jordan_U | jschiff: Well, actually upstream Xorg :) | 08:54 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts | 08:54 |
| jschiff | you can put Option "dontzap" in your server config in Xorg | 08:54 |
| jschiff | to bypass that | 08:54 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: that doesn't remap a key to another? | 08:54 |
| Flannel | !dontzap | Alumin, jschiff | 08:54 |
| ubottu | Alumin, jschiff: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 08:54 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It remaps functions to different keys, doesn't it? | 08:54 |
| jschiff | flannel that's a stupid way of doin it | 08:54 |
| roxie | mozilla 3.5 is not recognizing the java plugin i guess | 08:54 |
| r_a_f | ello -- I need Live CD working on 250 MB RAM and usb support - any suggestions PLS ? | 08:54 |
| jschiff | why install stuff to remove functionality that's disabled | 08:54 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: That way, you can customize it. Btw, if your pad supports two- and three-finger actions, this policy file does two-finger scrolling (up-down and left-right), as well as two-finger-tap middle-click and three-finger-tap right-click =D http://pastebin.ca/1481634 | 08:54 |
| jschiff | when you can just toggle a Xorg option | 08:55 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: yes, which function are you binding to fn+home? | 08:55 |
| Flannel | jschiff: Installing a package is much easier than manually configuring anything. | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | roxie: How did you install firefox 3.5 | 08:55 |
| jschiff | not really >_< | 08:55 |
| Flannel | jschiff: If you'd like to discuss this further, I'd be happy to do so in #ubuntu-offtopic, but it's not appropriate for here. | 08:55 |
| Slemming | "action" | 08:55 |
| AndorinKato | XF86AudioPlay. | 08:55 |
| Alumin | Flannel: not for everone :) | 08:55 |
| roxie | go to ubuntumini.com | 08:55 |
| jschiff | i'd hardly call editing a file manually configuring.. lol | 08:55 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: thanks :) | 08:55 |
| jschiff | people make xorg.conf out to be this big scary beast, but it's really not all that bad | 08:55 |
| niarbeht | r_a_f: DSL? Damn Small Linux? There might be one by them..... | 08:55 |
| roxie | http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/06/install-firefox-35.html | 08:55 |
| Slemming | Jordan_U: you could install firefox-3.5 from repo, though it's not up to date | 08:56 |
| niarbeht | jschiff: nope, it isn't, it's just messy sometimes. | 08:56 |
| jschiff | and it's good to get users familiar with it | 08:56 |
| jschiff | so they don't become dependent on ubuntu's automagic configurator | 08:56 |
| Flannel | jschiff: again, discussions (and rants, etc) belong in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. Thanks | 08:56 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: please do tell if it works. And remember you'll need to completely restart X first... | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | Slemming: I am asking how he did it to help debug his problem | 08:56 |
| roxie | Jordan_U: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/06/install-firefox-35.html | 08:57 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: XF86AudioPlay... not sure if you saw that message. | 08:57 |
| Slemming | Jordan_U: Sorry, missed that | 08:57 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: XF86Home isn't listed as an action to me? | 08:57 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: also, the left/right two-finger drag may cause a back or forward action in Opera instead of scrolling. Stupid Opera L/ | 08:57 |
| r_a_f | niarbeht:THANKS :) | 08:58 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: XF86Home? Where did you get that? | 08:58 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Obviously didn't, sorry, mixed that up | 08:58 |
| matib | is there someone ? | 08:59 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Still, XF86AudioPlay is listed as a shortcut, not an action | 08:59 |
| niarbeht | r_a_f: did you find what you were looking for? | 08:59 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It's okay, but I might have mixed something up too... like, it looks like the system detects that FN+home is AudioPlay, it's just not letting it execute. | 08:59 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Does fn+home generate a XF86AudioPlay event? | 08:59 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Yeah, sorry, I confused that. Um, I'll check now.. | 08:59 |
| roxie | how do i change my default web browser on ubuntu netbook remix? | 08:59 |
| r_a_f | niarbeht: yo - i try DSLinux on old hardware ;) | 09:00 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Try setting XF86AudioPlay (fn+home) to open a Terminal | 09:00 |
| Slemming | then see if fn+home opens a terminal | 09:00 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Yes, I believe so. The resulting output includes XF86AudioPlay. And yes, I will. | 09:00 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It opened. | 09:01 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: So the key works, and also does binding it | 09:01 |
| Slemming | what functionality did you want out of fn+home? | 09:01 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: Slemming : i'm trying it too, the XF86AudioPlay doesn't work either, but other keys like XF86Forward & XF86Back do work ... | 09:01 |
| niarbeht | r_a_f: I once ran Gentoo on a Pentium II w/ 384mb of RAM. Compiles took forever... but it was a router, so it did alright. Except for the bad hardware. | 09:02 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: To play a track if one isn't playing, or to pause a currently playing track. So play/pause. | 09:02 |
| michelleIL | are there any other chanels except this one? | 09:02 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: None of mine work- play/pause, stop, forward, back. Oh, and my mute function is out. | 09:03 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Are you sure that your music player recognises play/pause? | 09:03 |
| niarbeht | michelleIL: #freebsd ? | 09:03 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It's worked before, like I said, so I'm pretty sure it does. | 09:03 |
| niarbeht | michelleIL: sorry, bad joke. | 09:03 |
| Slemming | djiezes: Do you know if amarok listens to play or pause? | 09:03 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It does, because I've used it before. | 09:04 |
| Slemming | gnome's play or pause | 09:04 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: I'm pretty sure gdm restarts X when you log out, but I'm gonna go ahead and just reboot just to be sure | 09:04 |
| AndorinKato | I just don't use Amarok normally. I find it to be not-particularly-user-friendly. Plus not including .mp3 support by default is a little annoying. | 09:04 |
| === Caleb is now known as Guest33544 | ||
| Alumin | nope, no dice | 09:04 |
| djiezes | Slemming: i'm using Amarok14, and it doesn't react to my XF86AudioPlay. I do know amarok has a play/pauze button in one. | 09:05 |
| Slemming | Alumin: ps aux | grep X, sudo kill -9 "that pid" | 09:05 |
| Alumin | I'm not entirely sure it's an Xorg issue, though | 09:05 |
| Alumin | Slemming: appreciate the thought, but you're answering the wrong question :) | 09:05 |
| Slemming | Alumin: Meant for forcing a X restart :) | 09:05 |
| Slemming | Alumin: ah sorry | 09:05 |
| Slemming | Alumin: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart | 09:06 |
| r_a_f | niarbeht: i need to do copy from an old 240 ram computer - so need usb support for pendrive | 09:06 |
| Alumin | Slemming: yeah, but I'm lazy and this netbook restarts really fast :P | 09:06 |
| Slemming | I'm not sure if that should be done from within the running session | 09:06 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: it's weird, overhere it's the only key not working, the rest works as it should | 09:06 |
| Slemming | Alumin: right :) | 09:06 |
| kujiu | hello | 09:06 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Running Jaunty? | 09:06 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: to my knowledge, you can set that option somewhere. GDM in gentoo defaults to not restarting X, but I have no idea about ubuntu. | 09:06 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: yep, 64bit though | 09:06 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: the interesting thing is that the touchpad does work for about 1 second if I remove and re-insert the "psmouse" module | 09:07 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: O.o | 09:07 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Check inside Amarok -> Settings -> Configure global Shortcuts | 09:07 |
| Alumin | I did mention that before, but I don't think you were watching the channel yet | 09:07 |
| boiboite | bon matin !!! | 09:08 |
| Alumin | so I checked /var/log/(dmesg|messages|syslog), but I don't see any errors | 09:08 |
| boiboite | dites, j'ai besoin au démarrage de la machine d'ajouter un vairable d'environnement ? | 09:08 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Did, and I had to assign it, but once I did it still didn't work. Will double-check. | 09:08 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Assigned to XF86AudioPlay? | 09:08 |
| Caleb_ | With my ubuntu it says it has like 600 updates.When i go to see, everything is ticked.How do i untick everything so i can tick what i want? Manually unticking every update would take AGES | 09:08 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It calls it "Media Play" in Amarok | 09:09 |
| niarbeht | Hey, boiboite wants to know how to add an environment variable methinks. | 09:09 |
| Jordan_U | Caleb_: Use synaptic or apt-get instead, but make sure you install all security updates at least :) | 09:09 |
| Slemming | Caleb_: Not sure if this is how to do it, don't have an uninstalled update to try, but I'd try synaptic | 09:10 |
| Alumin | /etc/profile hehe | 09:10 |
| Caleb_ | Ok, i got the lts | 09:10 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 09:10 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 09:10 |
| ziroday | Caleb_: select the top package, hold shift go down to the bottom, select the bottom package and then untick. Did that work? | 09:10 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: i got it working ! | 09:10 |
| Slemming | Caleb_: Actually I'd rather go with apt-get | 09:10 |
| Caleb_ | Ok | 09:10 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Oh boy, what's the process? | 09:10 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: in amarok14 that is. I deleted the XF86AudioPlay shortcut. used the primary one (Win+C) then reconfigured the XF86AudioPlay one | 09:11 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: thanks for the config file anyway though, once I get this stupid touchpad working again it'll be nice to tweak the options | 09:11 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: and that did the trick overhere | 09:11 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: K, I'll try it. | 09:11 |
| Alumin | the ironic part is, I !@#$% hate touchpads | 09:11 |
| salil__ | is it possible to extend my root partition? | 09:11 |
| Caleb_ | When i get adsl2+(Oh yeaaa) I can install them all | 09:11 |
| Slemming | Caleb_: sudo apt-get install *that package you wanted to upgrade* | 09:11 |
| Alumin | if they made a netbook-sized device with a trackpoint I would drop-kick this thing :) | 09:11 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: all in 'Global Shortcuts', Amarok itself ... | 09:11 |
| Caleb_ | Ah ok | 09:11 |
| AndorinKato | Right... | 09:11 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Nope, didn't fix it. | 09:12 |
| Alumin | salil__: if it's on LVM then yeah | 09:12 |
| Jordan_U | salil__: What do you mean by expand? If you have free space on the disk you can use a liveCD to expand the partition. | 09:12 |
| Caleb_ | Netbooks are...Dodgy | 09:12 |
| salil__ | Jordan_U, Yes.. answered... | 09:12 |
| Alumin | Caleb_: I guess...mine's been a trooper until this mouse issue | 09:12 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: I might have reconfigured the key first in gnome settings too ... | 09:12 |
| Alumin | well, except for the fact that it has a ***** trackpad :D | 09:13 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: do you use Amarok2, or Amarok14? | 09:13 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I've already done that, with the Insert thing. | 09:13 |
| machinebacon | !ff3.5 | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 09:13 |
| Alumin | did I mention I don't like trackpads? | 09:13 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: 2.0.2. | 09:13 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: did it not listen to insert as pause/play? | 09:13 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Nope, it did not. | 09:13 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: I've no idea why it's not working :/ | 09:13 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: Oh, i use 1.4, maybe that makes a difference | 09:13 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Does it listen to any other shortcut? | 09:13 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: yeah, I don't think it's an X issue | 09:13 |
| Caleb_ | Notebooks on the other hands are great.I also dont use the ******* trackpad i use a notebook mouse | 09:14 |
| Slemming | djiezes: Possibly, he mentioned it was working before | 09:14 |
| niarbeht | Alumin: Lenovo might (they inherited the Thinkpad series...) | 09:14 |
| Alumin | niarbeht: the mouse doesn't work in console either | 09:14 |
| Slemming | Alumin: Probably isn't | 09:14 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: For any other function, you mean? Or do you mean if I were to reassign it to another different key combination? | 09:14 |
| Caleb_ | Sorry i type slow on ipod touch | 09:14 |
| Slemming | Alumin: driver/driver settings I'd think | 09:14 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: overhere there's a primary & alternative shortcut. primary i Win+C, i used that before I reconfigured XF86audioplay as alternative binding. | 09:14 |
| djiezes | (just to see if it worked, and it did) | 09:14 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Try assigning Enter to "play/pause" | 09:14 |
| Slemming | then try assigning it to say Forward | 09:14 |
| Cosmo1 | I am having a problem one is that my keyboard layout keeps changing from dvorak back to qwerty even though I have removed the qwerty layout and it seems at random times it goes back to qwerty and I have to run setxkbmap dvorak in a launcher. How do I fix this? | 09:15 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It might not let me but I'll try | 09:15 |
| Slemming | Cosmo1: Do you have a bind to change layout that you're not aware of? | 09:15 |
| AndorinKato | Yeah, had to use Ctrl+Enter | 09:15 |
| Caleb_ | Dvorak is really odd | 09:15 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Annnnd it does not work. | 09:15 |
| djiezes | Now i'm puzzled as to how i got it working ... & why the same procedure doesn't do it for AndorinKato | 09:15 |
| Boohbah | !ot | 09:16 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 09:16 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: ctrl+enter shouldn't be picked up by the system, so obviously global keybinds does not work for amarok2 | 09:16 |
| Alumin | holy cow it is way past my bedtime | 09:16 |
| Caleb_ | You choose the layout in the installation prcess | 09:16 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I've been setting the shortcut to the global commands, not the alternate | 09:16 |
| Cosmo1 | Slemming: not that I know of, and it keeps doing it at random times | 09:16 |
| umar | i can open a readonly file like "sudo vim filename" and edit it. how can i make text editors like 'gedit' 'eclipse' etc edit read-only files? | 09:16 |
| Slemming | Caleb_: Can change it too | 09:16 |
| * Alumin shakes his fist in the air at the trackpad | 09:16 | |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: I tested Ctrl+Enter with Songbird | 09:16 |
| Slemming | Cosmo1: Are you positive it's random? | 09:16 |
| Caleb_ | Yea | 09:16 |
| MooKow | lol, it's way past my bedtime too | 09:16 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: test xf86playaudio with songbird rather | 09:16 |
| MooKow | going tos leep soon ^.^ | 09:16 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: oh, i've got the multimedia keys as alternate, maybe try the same. | 09:16 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: K | 09:17 |
| Alumin | thanks a lot for the help with this, guys (even though it's still not working hehe) | 09:17 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: and check if the primary key (win+c) works | 09:17 |
| umar | the above probelm prevents me from using eclipse on a project that is readonly. i wasn to edit it without changing permissions | 09:17 |
| Alumin | I have a USB mouse that works fine, so it's not epic fail at the moment | 09:17 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Nope, still doesn't work. | 09:17 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: what about the primary keybinding? | 09:17 |
| Caleb_ | Cosmo1:Dvorak is something you cant pronounce.Qwerty is easily pronouncible | 09:17 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: My primary is Space, which DOES work. | 09:17 |
| Alumin | my primary uses for the netbook are remote administration with SSH, and lounging on the couch playing nethack...neither of which require a mouse | 09:18 |
| Cosmo1 | yes Caleb_ but dvorak is better | 09:18 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: and you've got the xf86audioplay binded in gnome settings shortcuts as play/pauze too? | 09:18 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Yeppers | 09:18 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Though that's not the same? | 09:18 |
| Alumin | so it's not so bad...and I won't have to worry about the **** touchpad messing with my window focus while I'm typing YAY lol | 09:18 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: then you've got the same settings as i do, except you have amarok2, i got 1.4 | 09:19 |
| === Caleb is now known as Guest13632 | ||
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Your regular key works, it's the global bindings that are the problem? | 09:19 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Seems that way to me. | 09:19 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: set it both in 'global shortcuts' and 'shortcuts' | 09:20 |
| djiezes | (or does amarok2 not have those 2 options?) | 09:20 |
| Guest13632 | Is there an online software repository but like a webpage, not sudo-aptitude-get-program? | 09:20 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I can't, it only lets me assign XF8PlayAudio in one area at a time in Amarok | 09:20 |
| Flannel | Guest13632: to browse? | 09:20 |
| Guest13632 | /nick PooIsYum | 09:21 |

| Guest13632 | right? | 09:21 |
| susbwoy | djiezes: cheers | 09:21 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I'm sure, I just tried it again. | 09:21 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: I'm starting to think it might be an amarok2 issue? | 09:22 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Except that it also doesn't work in Songbird. | 09:22 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: maybe they both have issues? have you tried other apps, like rhythmbox or something? | 09:23 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: I will now. | 09:23 |
| Glowball | Hi | 09:23 |
| AndorinKato | djiezes: Nothing. | 09:23 |
| Glowball | I can find my shared Ubuntu files on my Windows machine, so Samba seems to be working fine, but where can I find them the other way round? | 09:23 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: I wouldn't depend on songbird catching that | 09:23 |
| AndorinKato | Not from any of the keys. | 09:23 |
| thefeds | Can I make a USB installer with an Imation Cool USB flash drive? | 09:24 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Songbird normally /does/ work with the keys, though, since it's my primary media player on both computers; I just need to install a plugin for it to work | 09:24 |
| thefeds | !usb | 09:24 |

| ziroday | thefeds: should do | 09:24 |
| === Caleb is now known as Guest42245 | ||
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Btw, does this involve an update to the systems with components that haven't been restarted? | 09:24 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: I don't know, how would I check that? | 09:24 |
| djiezes | AndorinKato: sry, now I'm really starting to run out of ideas. Only thing I can say is that I got it working after some fiddling. So: fiddle ... (?) | 09:25 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Also remember that these keys stopped working right after updating my system | 09:25 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Have you rebooted the computer since the problem came up? | 09:25 |
| Slemming | since the update* | 09:25 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Yes, I've shut it down and powered it back up multiple times; the update was a few weeks ago. | 09:25 |

| ehsh | is there any program like google earth for Ubuntu? | 09:27 |
| indus | is firefox 3.5 a backport | 09:27 |
| Slemming | try running amarok2 from a terminal | 09:27 |

| u_dparte | indus, it's not release in the repos yet | 09:27 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: If it comes to it I can always reinstall Ubuntu; I did that the other day with my PC, updated it and the keys work. | 09:27 |
| u_dparte | indus, i think you can get it from proposed repos though | 09:27 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Try sudo apt-get purge amarok | 09:27 |
| Slemming | then reinstall amarok | 09:27 |
| Slemming | first | 09:27 |
| Slemming | rather than reinstalling the OS | 09:27 |
| ziroday | thefeds: well as long as there is enough blank unpartitioned space for the usb creator to work | 09:28 |
| indus | u_dparte: hmm its in the regular repos in beta, so i hear it will be upgraded to final | 09:28 |
| indus | too many repos | 09:28 |

| Slemming | indus: 3.5v4 is in repo | 09:28 |

| u_dparte | indus, yeah i had the beta and just last night one of my repos caught the actual release | 09:29 |
| djiezes | ehsh: it's in the medibuntu repository | 09:29 |

| Thingymebob | !medibuntu | ehsh | 09:29 |
| ubottu | ehsh: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:29 |

| ehsh | i ont understand nothing | 09:30 |
| u_dparte | lemme check | 09:30 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: It's not letting me run any sudo commands, it says another process is using the administration directory... I'm going to reboot, brb | 09:31 |
| Slemming | u_dparte: Are you having any non-regular repos? Because apt-get update && apt-get install firefox-3.5 doesn't give me the latest | 09:31 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: close synaptic | 09:31 |
| u_dparte | Slemming, yes I have some no standard repos | 09:31 |
| u_dparte | i'm looking to see which one it came from | 09:31 |
| indus | is opera in the repos? | 09:32 |
| indus | like third party or something , is that called partner | 09:32 |
| Slemming | Btw: Why does firefox-3.5 as a package depend essentially on firefox-3.0? | 09:32 |
| lesshaste | I've remove the /var/cache/debconf directory by mistake, how can I restore it? It makes apt-get install unhappy | 09:32 |

| u_dparte | Slemming, indus : #deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | 09:33 |
| lesshaste | Slemming: that gives ebconf: DbDriver "config": could not open /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | 09:33 |

| Thingymebob | ehsh: download the source packages | 09:34 |
| lesshaste | Slemming: can I just reinstall it somehow? | 09:34 |
| indus | ziroday: i installed ff 3.5 from mozilla but it wont run :) | 09:35 |
| Slemming | indus: run it from a terminal, does its output say anything? | 09:35 |
| indus | Slemming: ya trying now | 09:36 |
| Slemming | lesshaste: I'd presume apt-get install --reinstall debconf doesn't work | 09:36 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: No good, I purged and reinstalled it and it still insists on not working, and I ought to point out that the ubuntu-restricted-extras package also isn't letting me play my .mp3s in Amarok | 09:36 |
| indus | Slemming: which exe should i run iam thinking | 09:36 |
| Thingymebob | ehsh: sudo apt-get source packagename | 09:36 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Meaning, it should, but it isn't. | 09:36 |
| indus | Slemming: run mozilla.sh? or firefox-bin | 09:36 |
| Thingymebob | will put the source package in you current directory | 09:37 |
| wisler | anyone help me to compile samba-3.3.6 for ubuntu 9.04???????????? | 09:37 |
| Slemming | indus: I'd say firefox-3.5 | 09:37 |
| indus | Slemming: error when loading shared libraries libxul | 09:37 |
| Jordan_U | Slemming: firefox-3.5 doesn't depend on firefox-3 | 09:37 |

| Slemming | indus: sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9.1 | 09:38 |
| u_dparte | ehsh, google around till you find the actual command | 09:38 |
| AndorinKato | jeniffer: Is your drive getting adequate ventilation and cooling from the fans? | 09:38 |
| Slemming | indus: I think, that's one of the dependancies my firefox 3.5v4 has | 09:38 |
| indus | Slemming: oops iam on hardy | 09:38 |
| wisler | anyone help me to compile samba-3.3.6 for ubuntu 9.04???????????? | 09:39 |
| u_dparte | firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-branding xulrunner-1.9.1 | 09:39 |
| AndorinKato | AndorinKato: Do I even know what I'm talking about? | 09:39 |
| Jordan_U | wisler: Why not use the packaged samba? | 09:39 |
| jeniffer | AndorinKato exactly the same when i have booted windows.... | 09:39 |
| indus | Slemming: but the thing is, mozilla binaries come with their own version of xul i believe and it loads it from same directory | 09:39 |
| psycolizard | wow, lotsa people. I got the error of "BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way linux understands" can someone please tell me what that means and how to fix? | 09:39 |
| wisler | because it dont work | 09:39 |
| Thingymebob | ehsh: Replace packagename with the name of whichever package you want the source for e.g gedit gnome-terminal etc | 09:39 |
| wisler | i have done as it is discribted in the wiki but it didnt work | 09:40 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: I think I may just end up wiping and reinstalling, it's not a tall order for me to xfer a few hundred music tracks and some miscellaneous files to the laptop with Giver after a reinstall | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | wisler: In what way, and why do you think that it will work if you compile from source? | 09:40 |
| Anirban1987 | How can I set my personal web hosting Control panel on a different port than port 80 like CPanel is in port 2082 ? | 09:40 |
| Slemming | Jordan_U: The following extra packages will be installed: firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding firefox-3.5-branding ubufox | 09:40 |
| lesshaste | I reinstalled debconf, now I get these errors when doing a kernel upgrade in ubuntu | 09:40 |
| lesshaste | http://pastebin.ca/1481676 | 09:40 |
| u_dparte | Anirban1987, that depends on your server configuration | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | Slemming: firefox-3.5 *recommends* ubufox, which depends on firefox-3.0 ( which is understandable but still a bug ) | 09:41 |
| Lord-Readman | Hello, I am trying to get a webserver working, I followed the how to forge perfect server 9.04 but didnt install ISPconfig2, I can get one domain working on the server, but I cant seem to create a vertualhost for another domain to point to a different folder, i.e. i set it to /home/mysite/ and it still loads from /var/www/ and says IT WORKS! and I have restarted. | 09:41 |
| Anirban1987 | u_dparte : Mine is Ubuntu 9.04 server 32 bit. How to set it up like that ? | 09:41 |
| johnibanez | Hello, I'm a Windows user and I'm planning to move to Ubuntu. I'm a freelance web developer and I use Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash and other Adobe products. I have the CS3 Masterpack. My question is would these programs work well with Ubuntu and wine? And would I be able to run multiple simultaneous programs with Wine? | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | Slemming: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 --no-install-recommends | 09:41 |
| Slemming | Jordan_U: that was apt-get install firefox-3.5 only | 09:42 |
| u_dparte | Anirban1987, you will need to set your http config to listen on those ports I believe on ubuntu their is a file called ports.conf | 09:42 |
| h4f | hi all | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | johnibanez: No to the first( only CS2 ), yes to the second | 09:42 |
| sagemode | johnibanez: All of the is not 100% working but alternatives are all great | 09:42 |
| ziroday | johnibanez: most of those applications don't work well with wine unfortunately. However you can use a windows virtual machine and run all those applications, or use linux alternatives to those applications | 09:42 |
| u_dparte | Anirban1987, I'm not positive though b/c I only use redhat for web server and the configs are different | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | Slemming: I know | 09:42 |
| moncky | johnibanez: for compatibility and wine have a look at the winehq site, to your final point, yes you can run multiple programmes | 09:43 |
| djiezes | johnibanez: no, CS3 does not work with wine under linux/ubuntu. | 09:43 |
| sagemode | johnibanez: I giveup adobe for gimp, and inkscape: and I work with neatbeans6.5 | 09:43 |
| moncky | johnibanez: My question would be, why move a way from windows if your current software requires it? | 09:43 |
| wisler | i have compiled samba now the error message is error while loading shared libraries: litdb.so.1 | 09:43 |
| Anirban1987 | u-dparte : Actually I want the EHCP control panel to appear on http://xyz.com:2082/ like that | 09:44 |
| u_dparte | Anirban1987, do you have a 64bit processor? | 09:44 |
| psycolizard | sigh this is a nightmare, can someone who knows about BIOS issues pull me aside in a private message please? | 09:44 |
| Anirban1987 | u_dparte : Its in a Virtual Machine | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | johnibanez: Linux might not be a good choice for your needs yet, unless you want to run windows in a VM. | 09:44 |
| vcvg | hey, anybody know how to force 'make' to ignore error at a line? | 09:44 |
| sagemode | johnibanez: You can also use virtualbox seamless mode if you have kickus desktop... but that's not moving away from a window | 09:44 |

| indus | dutch: its in system>preferences>appearance no? | 09:47 |
| johnibanez | @sagemode : Yes I'm from the philippines. :D | 09:47 |
| ziroday | dutch: open a terminal and type in gnome-appearance-properties, does anything pop up? | 09:47 |
| Jordan_U | johnibanez: np | 09:47 |
| discorpia | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg gives nothing related to monitor selection, where am i supposed to change this?? | 09:47 |
| Slemming | indus: doh | 09:47 |
| u_dparte | discorpia, nvidia? | 09:48 |
| indus | Slemming: yeah had this problem before, have to remove old ff profile probably | 09:48 |
| ziroday | Stdht: please don't PM. ALSA and OSS are both soundsystems and are seperate from each other. You should pick ALSA | 09:48 |
| Slemming | indus: mine migrated | 09:48 |
| dutch | yes it does when run in the ter | 09:48 |

| Jordan_U | discorpia: System > Preferences > Display | 09:48 |
| Stdht | ziroday ok | 09:48 |
| discorpia | Jordan_U: yeah, as i said, i can't change monitor typ there and only have a few resolutions to choose from | 09:48 |
| ziroday | dutch: then its installed in your system :), it should be under System > Preferences > Appearance | 09:48 |
| AndorinKato | Slemming: Thank you for your help L) | 09:49 |
| AndorinKato | :) | 09:49 |
| sagemode | johnibanez: Yup Phil Anti Piracy is moving up these days | 09:49 |
| Stdht | ziroday so I have both installed, | 09:49 |
| Stdht | ? | 09:49 |
| Jordan_U | discorpia: What gfx card? | 09:49 |
| dutch | no its not there but that is perfect with the command thaanks | 09:49 |
| ziroday | Stdht: it would appear so but I'm not certain | 09:49 |
| Daemon_ | how can i change my display refresh rate to 60hz? | 09:49 |
| sagemode | johnibanez: Join ubuntu-ph mate! | 09:49 |
| discorpia | should that matter since it's not my graphics card it's the monitor parameters i want to change? does gfx card matter? | 09:49 |
| Stdht | if I choose sound devices I see | 09:49 |
| indus | dutch: you can right click on main menu and add it then | 09:49 |
| racecar56 | how do i get 3D working nicely on my ati radeon 9800 pro? | 09:49 |
| Stdht | HDA intel alc268 (ALSA) , HDA intel analog alc268 (OSS),HDA intel analog alc268 (OSS), Alsa advanced linux sound architecture, OSS open sound system, PulsaeAudioServer | 09:49 |
| discorpia | it's ati, but i haven't installed fglrx yet because when i tried to install it things got really slow and the xorg process kept going on 96% | 09:49 |
| ziroday | racecar56: it should work out of the box with the -ati driver | 09:50 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, it sucks | 09:50 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, bad | 09:50 |
| ziroday | racecar56: pardon? | 09:50 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, it lags really bad | 09:50 |
| psycolizard | Can someone tell me what this means and how to fix it please? "BIOS does not provide ACPT _PSS objects in a way linux understands" | 09:50 |
| Slemming | AndorinKato: Glad I could... well... try .) | 09:50 |
| humbolt | are firefox 3.5 packages available for jaunty already? the final version and as full replacement for FF3.1 not as parallel install with extra preferences dir and the such? | 09:50 |
| Stdht | ziroday I can test all of them but only HDA Intel(alc268) do not work | 09:50 |
| ziroday | racecar56: can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please | 09:50 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, k | 09:50 |
| ziroday | Stdht: okay, well then use the one that works then | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | discorpia: Yes, unfortunately the proprietary drivers don't support the standard interface for configuring monitors. | 09:51 |
| niarbeht | psycolizard: that relates to cpu frequency scaling. What CPU do you have? | 09:51 |
| Stdht | ziroday so I do but why there so many devices comparing to windows | 09:51 |
| ziroday | Stdht: because of the different sound systems, windows only has one sound system (AFAIK) | 09:52 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, http://racecar56.pastebin.com/f7cee64a7 | 09:52 |
| humbolt | why is my system so slow (tons of IO wait) after resuming from suspend? | 09:52 |
| gralco | hi is anyone interested in learning C++ along with me | 09:52 |
| discorpia | Jordan_U: oh, ok. but i haven't installed those drivers yet. it is a ati radeon 3450, but performance is miserable when i try running fglrx, so something must be buggy with the proprietary drivers and that card then | 09:52 |
| Jordan_U | humbolt: suspend to disk? | 09:52 |
| niarbeht | ziroday: technically, there's been more than one sound system, it's just relatively transparent because they all co-exist.... | 09:52 |
| humbolt | Jordan_U: no RAM | 09:52 |
| psycolizard | @niarbeht AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 6400+ 3.2ghz dont know what you need | 09:52 |
| niarbeht | K. | 09:52 |
| Stdht | ziroday so How to choose which device will soundplayer use? | 09:53 |
| discorpia | i was hoping i could get full resolution, just not fully accelerated without using the fglrx/ati drivers | 09:53 |
| racecar56 | psycolizard, :( you got nice processor | 09:53 |

| ziroday | racecar56: well the radeon driver is loaded, what does glxinfo | grep direct return? | 09:53 |
| Thingymebob | dutch: create a new text file in /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop, copy this into it http://paste.ubuntu.com/207983/ chown to root and chgrp to root then chmod +r | 09:53 |
| psycolizard | i built my comp from the ground up, when i still had a job lol | 09:53 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, direct rendering: Yes | 09:53 |
| Jordan_U | discorpia: Can you pastebin the output from /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 09:53 |
| ziroday | racecar56: and glxinfo | grep render | 09:53 |
| indus | racecar56: i have athlon x2 4400+ :) | 09:53 |
| discorpia | Jordan_U: with our without the proprietary drivers? | 09:54 |
| niarbeht | Well, ever poked around in your BIOS before? Find and turn on the Cool and Quiet option in there and the complaints from the kernel will cease. That, and you might be able to convince your computer to do dynamic CPU frequency scaling, causing your computer to run cooler when idle, saving power not just in terms of the CPU's power usage, but also in terms of your AC bill :P | 09:54 |
| Stdht | ziroday I cant test ALSA on HDA intel and at the same time when I play wav file with a pleyer I can use HDA intel ALSA in volume contorl and voulme really changes? | 09:54 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, same thing as before and OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 8x TCL | 09:54 |
| ziroday | Stdht: I have no idea what you are saying sorry. | 09:54 |
| Jordan_U | discorpia: without first | 09:54 |
| racecar56 | indus, mine is 1.8 ghz :| | 09:54 |
| racecar56 | indus, old comp=yes | 09:54 |
| ziroday | racecar56: right, well then the correct driver is loaded and 3D accelerated rendering is working. Not much more I can do sorry. | 09:54 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, kk | 09:55 |
| niarbeht | psycolizard: that big blurb was for you, btw | 09:55 |
| Stdht | ziroday, my english needs much to be regarded ... but I'll try once again...:) | 09:55 |
| psycolizard | honestly i dont know much about computers, this is my first build... i know how to run it not so much program it. any chance u can explain it a bit to me | 09:55 |
| indus | racecar56: ziroday:ATI has dropped support for older r 200 (and r300) cards in newer releases ,so hardy is the only option for the driver, else use the open source driver | 09:55 |
| ziroday | Stdht: what's your native language? | 09:55 |
| indus | not sure about the r 300 though | 09:55 |
| ziroday | indus: correct... | 09:55 |

| dAnon | my graphics driver doesn't work, I tried running Enemy Territory, and it just quits the game before even launching | 09:56 |
| niarbeht | psycolizard: I'm not talking about programming it. Got the motherboard manual? Look for a section about entering the BIOS. Usually, you just spam the "delete" key like a madman when starting the system up. Once in there, be careful not to go changing things you don't understand, just find the cool and quiet option and turn it on :P | 09:56 |

| indus | racecar56: whats the problem? system not using the ati drivers? | 09:57 |
| racecar56 | indus, laggy 3D | 09:57 |
| ziroday | racecar56: the issue is your graphics card is too old. Disable some of the effects you don't need or disable compiz all together. | 09:57 |
| vng | where is log file of pidgin? I want to view the log of #ubuntu channel | 09:57 |
| indus | racecar56: ziroday:open source ATI drivers wont perform like the proprietary ones | 09:57 |
| ziroday | !logs > vng | 09:57 |
| ubottu | vng, please see my private message | 09:57 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, i dont use gnome....... | 09:57 |
| indus | for 3d at least | 09:57 |
| psycolizard | if its that simple it should be no problem. my mobo lets me in its bios easily, unlike my old stock computer, eww stock | 09:57 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, i use lxde | 09:57 |
| ziroday | racecar56: yes but you use compiz? | 09:57 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, no | 09:58 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, i have no desktop fx | 09:58 |
| dAnon | my graphics driver doesn't work, I tried running Enemy Territory, and it just quits the game before even launching, installed 173 driver, this is terrible | 09:58 |
| ziroday | racecar56: that what is laggy? | 09:58 |
| h4f1 | Is there a way to set up network usage priority ? EX I use FF and Transmision. Transmision uses all bandwidth so when I go FF I get nothing. I can limit Transmission bandwidth but then when FF is IDLE bandwidth is not used at all. I need some kind of QoS | 09:58 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, 3d games e.g. vdrift | 09:58 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, or i could have compiled stupid | 09:58 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, but i dont think so | 09:58 |
| indus | dAnon: run the game from terminal and see the error | 09:58 |
| discorpia | Jordan_U: not sure if all of it is relevant, but didn't want to cut anything out | 09:59 |
| indus | dAnon: also,which graphics card | 09:59 |
| ziroday | racecar56: right, as I said your graphics card is just old. Lower the settings on the game then. | 09:59 |
| vng | how about the log on my machine? | 09:59 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, kk | 09:59 |
| gralco | hi is anyone interested in learning C++ along with me | 09:59 |
| dAnon | indus 7800GT, it says no opengl subsystem | 09:59 |
| psycolizard | so if I turn on cool and quiet in there it should solve the ACPI fail? | 09:59 |
| ninina | I don't know if this is the place to ask this, but I feel like I want to get involved in open source dev. Anyone know a good place to start out or something? | 09:59 |
| djiezes | h4f1: do you have a router? if so you could try prioritizing network traffic there. set up portforwarding for your torrents should have some effect. | 09:59 |
| ziroday | vng: its under ~/.purple/logs | 09:59 |
| indus | dAnon:paste output of glxinfo | grep render | 10:00 |
| rayno_b | hey there - I'm trying to install Ubuntu within VirtualBox, but the VirtualBox display loads the CD, but the screen is completely blank. I can see the screen for a brief second when I shut down that VirtualBox. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? | 10:00 |
| nsb | names | 10:00 |
| indus | !paste | 10:00 |

| racecar56 | ziroday, it seems my older Radeon 9200SE is faster hmmm | 10:00 |
| h4f1 | djiezes: yeap I have a modem. but how does it relate to application usage | 10:00 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, i have 2 gfx cards (not at once) and they are both old | 10:00 |
| vng | ziroday: thank you | 10:00 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, the older 9200SE is faster O_o | 10:00 |
| koshari | how do i set firefox 3.5 as default browser so links open in 3.5 instead of 3.1? | 10:00 |
| ziroday | racecar56: not much that I can do sorry | 10:00 |
| racecar56 | ziroday, k | 10:00 |
| discorpia | Jordan_U: when i enter display settings it says Samsung 17" as monitor name, where does it get that from? why is xorg.conf basically empty? | 10:01 |
| ziroday | koshari: System > Preferences > Preffered Applications | 10:01 |
| djiezes | h4f1: torrents use a different port than normal browsing. if you set up portforwarding for your torrents, it helps ... really, check http://portforward.com/ for how to do so. | 10:01 |
| lesshaste | what's the ubuntu equivalent of apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install <packagename> | 10:01 |
| discorpia | i don't even recognize linux anymore when i'm fiddling with ubuntu and xorg | 10:01 |
| racecar56 | discorpia, i have mine saying acer 22" | 10:01 |
| racecar56 | discorpia, i also wonder how it knows... | 10:01 |
| ziroday | racecar56: some of the options in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Performance_tuning might be able to help, but be very careful with what you do and only change xorg.org settings | 10:01 |
| discorpia | racecar56: mine doesn't know per se, since it's dead wrong, but it assumes, and that annoys me when it doesn't tell me how to affect that assumption :D | 10:02 |
| jeniffer | friends why hard disk temperature under linux is higher than in windows???? is is something to reduce it (except power off the laptop)???? | 10:02 |
| koshari | ziroday cheers | 10:02 |
| dAnon | indus it spams Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" | 10:02 |
| AndorinKato | Hey, guys, I have a question... I'm trying to install a plugin for Pidgin, and I'm very new to compiling... the README tells me to run the configure script, but when I paste in the command it tells me I need to specify where Pidgin is installed to... but a search through my system for pidgin gives a LOT of results. How do I tell where Pidgin is installed? It came installed by default with Jaunty... | 10:02 |
| indus | dAnon: the driver is not installed | 10:02 |
| koshari | ziroday there was no option so i edited the custom line to add -3.5 | 10:02 |
| h4f1 | djiezes: yeap. sound kind of solution. but I have to do that for all applications now :( not nice. I would prefer to apply something like cpulimit and nice to a process. but in network sense | 10:02 |
| dAnon | indus but I installed it, so who's fault is this? | 10:03 |
| ziroday | koshari: Web browser > Custom | 10:03 |
| indus | dAnon: how did you install the nvidia driver? did you do it from system>administration>hardware drivers? | 10:03 |
| dAnon | say indus yes | 10:03 |
| djiezes | h4f1: you don't, you only need to configure your torrent application/port. It'll solve other network issues. torrent is quite heavy on network traffice & congests your router. | 10:03 |
| psycolizard | @niar well im gonna go try that, if i cant get it ill be back on here, if it works than tyvvm | 10:03 |
| indus | dAnon: open hardware drivers and tell me what it says | 10:03 |
| koshari | AndorinKato cant you use the gui tools > plugins? | 10:03 |
| rayno_b | when I start "startx", my screen does not seem to like the resolution and goes off until I ctrl+C the startx session. How do I set the resolution a bit lower? | 10:04 |
| AndorinKato | koshari: That's only for configuring them, not installing them... the plugin came as a .tar | 10:04 |
| koshari | AndorinKato ok, i guess you will need to firuge out where the plugins reside | 10:04 |
| dAnon | indus 173.14.16 | 10:05 |
| halberd | my inspiron 15n laptop came with 8.10 preinstalled, which I just upgraded to 9.04... now suspend no longer works | 10:05 |
| halberd | anybody know a fix? | 10:05 |
| h4f1 | djiezes: the problem is that I said FF and Torrent as example. Some time I am running very bandwidth hungry application | 10:05 |
| Jordan_U | h4f1: Try trickle | 10:05 |
| mcfarlane | When I do tail /var/log/messeges, what does the -- MARK -- processes mean? | 10:05 |
| zugu | hello all | 10:05 |
| AndorinKato | koshari: And how do I do that? | 10:05 |
| indus | dAnon: does it say the driver is currently in use? | 10:05 |
| h4f1 | Jordan_U: thanks | 10:05 |
| koshari | AndorinKato can you find or locate the name of an existing plugin? | 10:05 |
| u_dparte | halberd, version upgrades are not that consistent ... your better off doing a clean install if you can | 10:05 |
| Jordan_U | h4f1: np | 10:05 |
| dAnon | indus where do I figure this out? | 10:06 |
| AndorinKato | koshari: That would be a good place to start, I guess ;) | 10:06 |
| zugu | can someone explain me why all the good stuff on getdeb.net is not present in Ubuntu's repositories? | 10:06 |
| Lord-Readman | I need to unjail my user account when I login in stuck in my home folder, and I wish to browse to my /var/www/ | 10:06 |
| u_dparte | zugu, because much of it is not officially supported | 10:06 |
| indus | dAnon: at the bottom , it will say this driver is currently in use along with a button on the right to enable or disable | 10:06 |
| zugu | u_dparte: I'm afraid I don't understand; why isn't it officially supported? Are the packages on getdeb not safe? | 10:07 |
| u_dparte | zugu, not necessarily ... just means they might cause problems with your system | 10:07 |
| dAnon | 173 | 10:07 |
| dAnon | I click it | 10:07 |
| dAnon | indus and it says it's enabled and in use | 10:07 |
| indus | dAnon: did you just install nvidia driver? | 10:08 |
| zugu | u_dparte: then why does everyone point me to getdeb when I ask where I can find more recent software? | 10:08 |
| u_dparte | zugu, before you install anything though you should research it and find out any known issues | 10:08 |
| lesshaste | well I tried to restore debconf and not something has gone wrong when trying to install the kernels? See http://pastebin.ca/1481697 | 10:08 |
| dAnon | indus and it says it's enabled and in use, I installed it from here | 10:08 |
| indus | dAnon: open synaptic,search for nvidia-glx-173 or something and install if from there | 10:08 |
| Jordan_U | discorpia: The xorg.conf is mostly empty because Xorg can auto detect pretty much everything that the Xorg.conf generating scripts could. You can still add to the xorg.conf and it will honor the settings | 10:08 |
| AndorinKato | koshari: Not getting a lot of luck here; so far out of the several I've searched for, only one gave results and I got 25 hits | 10:08 |
| h4f1 | Jordan_U: trickle is goo. I need something like that per process . like cpulimit | 10:09 |
| lesshaste | help! :) | 10:09 |
| zugu | I mean, it's not right; some packages in Ubuntu's repositories are out of date, why are they not updated like the ones on getdeb? | 10:10 |
| dAnon | indus why isn't it working in the first place? | 10:10 |
| Lord-Readman | anyone know howto unjail a user account when so when i FTP I can browse to my /var/www/ | 10:10 |
| dAnon | indus I've got them marked as installed | 10:10 |
| Flannel | zugu: Packages are mostly frozen a few months before release, after that they just get updates for bugs and security fixes. | 10:10 |
| indus | dAnon: i dont know, i had the same problem and i finally installed from synaptic | 10:10 |
| u_dparte | zugu, its not uncommon to have additional repos.. i use them all the time, but there is way to much software out there to test each pack to ensure its completely safe to install | 10:10 |
| indus | dAnon: just reinstall it | 10:10 |
| dAnon | indus reinstalling as we speak | 10:11 |
| indus | dAnon:good and dont forget to restart | 10:11 |
| moncky | Lord-Readman: you could create a group and add the user to that group and give the group access to /var/www, or add the user to the apache group | 10:11 |
| u_dparte | zugu, ubuntu tests common packages that a majority of there users will need and leaves the rest up to you and I | 10:11 |
| halberd | how would I diagnose a failure with suspend? when I ask if pm-is-supported --suspend it tells me yes | 10:11 |
| Flannel | zugu: The reason for the freeze is to ensure everything works correctly together. If you're not satisfied with this approach, you might be more interested in a rolling release like debian testing. | 10:11 |
| dAnon | indus reinstalling, rebooting | 10:11 |
| halberd | but when I try pm-suspend it does nothing | 10:11 |
| halberd | the command exits with no action | 10:11 |
| AndorinKato | Ok, grr, this isn't working... | 10:11 |
| indus | whats a rolling release | 10:12 |
| AndorinKato | Can someone who has experience with compiling PM me? I'm having trouble with what is probably a basic concept... | 10:12 |
| zugu | Flannel: curious, I never knew this; so basically people are stuck with older software? On Windows I can install whatever version of some specific software I want, straight from the developer's website; why is this so difficult with Ubuntu? Or am I missing something? Sorry, I'm a noob | 10:12 |
| Flannel | indus: New package version are put into the same release more or less when they become stable, as opposed to only updating those things eery six months | 10:12 |
| indus | Flannel: which do you prefer and why | 10:13 |
| u_dparte | zugu, it's not difficult just not supported ... windows doesn't support other developers software either | 10:13 |
| h4f1 | cpulimit - limit the cpu usage of a process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time). I need same think for Network Bandwidth | 10:13 |
| Stdht | ziroday: as i thought in russian channel - no help at all | 10:13 |
| Flannel | zugu: There's nothing wrong with "old" software. Its only a few months old generally. Yes, you can install software straight from the developers website on Ubuntu, its just "as easy" as on Windows, but you then have to keep track of updates/etc yourself. | 10:13 |
| zugu | u_dparte: yes, but the developer supports the software directly, on Ubuntu I am fosced to depend on the repositories | 10:13 |
| Stdht | ziroday: so may I ask you once again? | 10:14 |
| Jordan_U | zugu: Ubuntu has descrete releases and to keep things stable and predictable they only release updates for bugs and security fixes. There are other distros called "rolling" distros that always have the latest of everything and never have releases, you just constantly upgrade bit by bit. | 10:14 |
| u_dparte | zugu, no you have several options for installing software | 10:14 |
| u_dparte | you can compile from source | 10:14 |
| Flannel | zugu: Package management is a really nice feature, because it keeps you up to date, and means that software plays well with each other, etc. | 10:14 |
| AndorinKato | Can someone who has experience with compiling PM me? I'm having trouble with what is probably a basic concept... | 10:14 |
| u_dparte | you can install rpms, debs etc.. | 10:14 |
| Flannel | !compile > AndorinKato | 10:14 |
| ubottu | AndorinKato, please see my private message | 10:14 |
| indus | Flannel: ubuntu talks about stability and hence a 6 month cycle, then why have an LTS i wonder | 10:14 |
| dAnon | indus this is hopeless, still same thing | 10:15 |
| u_dparte | indus, its for people who install servers that can't be upgraded every 6 months | 10:15 |
| Flannel | indus: Because you get even more stability with a two year cycle. Also (the bigger reason) some people don't like upgrading every six months. A two year cycle suits their needs much better. | 10:15 |
| u_dparte | indus, I have a server still runing 7.10 | 10:15 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest74027 | ||
| Flannel | u_dparte: That's unsupported. | 10:15 |
| psycolizard | sigh, im back. cool and quiet got rid of the ACPI error, but it gave me the same screen, a black dos like screen that talks about ubuntu and its software... what do i do? | 10:15 |
| zugu | Flannel: there are a lot of things wrong with old software; look at pidgin: the latest version in Jaunty is 2.5.5 and I really need 2.5.8 because 2.5.5 cannot connect to Yahoo! anymore; Ubuntu won't update the pidgin in its repositories and getdeb is not officially supported; on Windows I can install 2.5.8 right away from www.pidgin.im | 10:15 |
| === Guest74027 is now known as thankyou | ||
| indus | dAnon: can i see your xorg.conf file paste output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:16 |
| koshari | AndorinKato look in the .purple dirs, pidgin used to be called gaim remember and i think they changes the dir names to purple | 10:16 |
| u_dparte | zugu, then why not ask how to install the latest and greatest here? | 10:16 |
| h4f1 | cpulimit - limit the cpu usage of a process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time). I need same think for Network Bandwidth any one :( | 10:16 |
| halberd | how could I try to diagnose a problem with pm-suspend? | 10:16 |
| zugu | u_dparte: I need the latest and greatest, but I do not want to install unsupported software | 10:16 |
| Flannel | zugu: In the past there have been updates to fix protocols (since those are bugfixes), I'm not sure what the timeframe for that is though. | 10:17 |
| indus | what other distro would people here recommend similar to ubuntu | 10:17 |
| Flannel | zugu: You can still install pidgin right away, it just wouldn't be via package management | 10:17 |
| Jordan_U | u_dparte: You should really upgrade to 8.04, for security updates if nothing else. You can stay with 8.04 for a long time since it's LTS | 10:17 |
| Flannel | indus: Try debian testing if you're looking for a rolling release. | 10:17 |
| lesshaste | well I tried to restore debconf and not something has gone wrong when trying to install the kernels? See http://pastebin.ca/1481697 | 10:17 |
| u_dparte | zugu, that's what we're here for buddy | 10:17 |
| lesshaste | any idea what to do about it? | 10:17 |
| zugu | Flannel: the person who introduced me to Ubuntu said I should only install software from the official repositories | 10:17 |
| indus | Flannel: i somehow dont feel at home with debian :) too geeky | 10:17 |
| Flannel | zugu: I agree with them. | 10:18 |
| u_dparte | yes, I would but I'll probably end up smashing it with a sledgehammer before I upgrade | 10:18 |
| rayno_b | Hi I need some assistance with xorg - If I run startx my screen goes into sleep mode. Any suggestions? | 10:18 |
| Flannel | indus: You... know that Ubuntu is based on debian, right? (and for some values of 'is' basically, is debian?) | 10:18 |
| indus | Flannel: anyways ill discuss it off topic with you people later | 10:18 |
| zugu | Flannel: then why is it so hard to find an officially supported pidgin 2.5.8 on ubuntu? | 10:18 |
| indus | Flannel: yes i know that.but somehow ubuntu seems more down to earth | 10:18 |
| AndorinKato | koshari: Still doesn't help... :( | 10:19 |
| Flannel | zugu: 2.5.8 won't ever be in Jaunty, the version number won't change from 2.5.5, but it'll have the patch for yahoo introduced into it. Like I said, I'm not sure about the timeline for this. Have you checked launchpad for a bug report? That might have more information on the current status | 10:19 |
| thummy | I was setting up netboot. When I boot the client, it gets an IP address from the server but it fails to get the boot image. The sysylog message on server says "tftpd[11658]: tftp: client does not accept options". But the client says "tftp error: file not found". Anyone who can help? | 10:19 |
| u_dparte | Jordan_U, new server from prgmr is running centos5.2 ... can't wait to move everything to a stable box | 10:19 |
| koshari | AndorinKato urs/lib/purple-2/plugins.so | 10:20 |

| dAnon | indus http://www.sendspace.com/file/bzqcuo this is what I've got in my xorg.conf | 10:20 |
| koshari | AndorinKato sorry /usr/lib................. | 10:20 |
| rayno_b | Hi I need some assistance with xorg - If I run startx my screen goes into sleep mode. Any suggestions? | 10:20 |
| zugu | Flannel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/393736 | 10:21 |
| u_dparte | zugu, many times installing a current release is a good thing | 10:21 |
| psycolizard | i still cant get my computer to install ubuntu. it starts, gives me language select, gives me menu of "install" "demo" etc, if i hit either one it takes me to black screen with info about ubuntu and its software and has a doslike prompt... can someone help me? | 10:21 |
| thummy | I was setting up netboot. When I boot the client, it gets an IP address from the server but it fails to get the boot image. The sysylog message on server says "tftpd[11658]: tftp: client does not accept options". But the client says "tftp error: file not found". My server is Ubuntu 9.04 Anyone who can help? | 10:21 |
| indus | dAnon: please use paste, sendspace is banned here | 10:21 |
| raevol | can anyone help me figure out why totem is stretching the movies i watch, so the aspect is wrong | 10:21 |
| u_dparte | zugu, ex. I was having issues w/ my source control being corrupted ... come to find out by building the latest from source everything was all better | 10:21 |
| u_dparte | zugu, the latest from the repos was out of date by like a bunch of versions | 10:22 |
| Flannel | zugu: right, that wouldn't be the same thing. What you should do is file a bug about yahoo in jaunty not working (and ask for them to patch the yahoo version) | 10:22 |
| zugu | u_dparte: I don't like to compile things | 10:22 |
| AndorinKato | koshari: Thank you, but still getting the same error when trying to configure... I just don't know jack about compiling. | 10:22 |
| indus | zugu: Flannel:well its a known bug and tehy are working on it i believe | 10:22 |
| u_dparte | zugu, compiling is fun - it's like a birthday present except you don't know if your getting a bag of crap or a block of gold | 10:22 |
| Flannel | indus: Do you have a bug report? | 10:22 |
| Flannel | u_dparte: Please don't recommend that in this channel. | 10:23 |
| indus | Flannel: wait let me check on pidgin site | 10:23 |
| indus | there is i believe. its a famous bug now | 10:23 |
| Flannel | indus: pidgin bugs don't count. We need Ubuntu bugs, since this is an ubuntu issue. | 10:24 |
| zugu | Flannel: I give up; it's easy on Windows, it should be just as easy on Ubuntu | 10:24 |
| Flannel | zugu: It is easy. But package management doesn't work that way. If you go outside of package management, it's just as trivial. | 10:24 |
| indus | Flannel: hmm i mean,,,, pidgin cant connect to yahoo and the pidgin devs are aware and workin on it, its also an ubuntu bug ? | 10:24 |
| edgarmattern1 | Hi, can someone help me, since a kernelupdate (I think it was one) my system does'n start enymore. | 10:25 |
| zugu | Flannel: yes, but I won't ever go outside the package management | 10:25 |
| Flannel | indus: There needs to be a bug reported in launchpad (against Ubuntus pidgin), because the fix for yahoo (which is in 2.5.8) needs to be put into 2.5.5 | 10:25 |
| u_dparte | edgarmattern1, how so? | 10:25 |
| u_dparte | does it go into grub? | 10:25 |
| digitaltao | hah, has any one ever done the alt+f2 free the fish command (if you run gnome) | 10:26 |
| indus | Flannel: http://tinyurl.com/pidgin-yahoo | 10:26 |
| edgarmattern1 | yas, the loadingscreen is there and the caps lock and the scrool lock aer blinking. | 10:26 |
| zugu | thank you guys for trying to help, but I find all this to be too unnecessarily complicated | 10:26 |
| Flannel | zugu: You're holding your OSes to a double standard. But sure, if you won't go outside of package management, file a bug about it. There isn't currently one. | 10:26 |
| edgarmattern1 | yes... | 10:26 |
| Flannel | zugu: Or, switch to debian testing, which is a rolling release where they don't freeze versions, so you're constantly being updated. | 10:26 |
| indus | zugu: http://tinyurl.com/pidgin-yahoo | 10:27 |
| u_dparte | when you boot up hit alt+f2 and it will show you all the things going on behind the scenes ... see if you can pinpoint where it is going wrong based on the text output | 10:27 |
| rayno_b | Hi I need some assistance with xorg - If I run startx my screen goes into sleep mode. Any suggestions? | 10:27 |
| zugu | I'll go back to XP, since lack of Yahoo connectivity is a showstopper for me; it's not a Pidgin problem, they fixed it; it's an Ubuntu issue | 10:27 |
| bart416 | rayno_b: tried generating a new configuration file already? | 10:27 |
| edgarmattern1 | kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt. | 10:27 |

| bart416 | anybody here any good at grub? | 10:28 |
| indus | aah wait | 10:28 |
| AndorinKato | Okay, guys, I would really like someone to help me install a plugin for Pidgin... my issue is that when configuring I don't know where to point the installation to... | 10:28 |
| indus | nooo | 10:28 |
| bart416 | it somehow seems to dislike the idea of booting an OS on a disk marked as slave instead of master >_> | 10:28 |
| moncky | AndorinKato: is it asking for where the binary is? | 10:28 |
| Flannel | indus: Again, that's not a launchpad bug report, Ubuntu's pidgin people need to be told about it, and I don't believe they have been. | 10:28 |
| AndorinKato | moncky: The binary of Pidgin? | 10:29 |
| koshari | bart416: whats ya prob | 10:29 |
| moncky | AndorinKato: yeah where is it asking you to point to | 10:29 |
| psycolizard | i still cant get my computer to install ubuntu. it starts, gives me language select, gives me menu of "install" "demo" etc, if i hit either one it takes me to black screen with info about ubuntu and its software and has a doslike prompt... can someone help me? | 10:29 |
| bart416 | well, my HD with my operating systems is in IDE Channel 1 but it's slave, not master | 10:29 |
| AndorinKato | moncky: Um.. I don't know... it tells me that it doesn't find the packages 'pidgin' or 'purple' | 10:29 |
| thummy | I was setting up netboot. When I boot the client, it gets an IP address from the server but it fails to get the boot image. The sysylog message on server says "tftpd[11658]: tftp: client does not accept options". But the client says "tftp error: file not found". My server is Ubuntu 9.04 Anyone who can help? | 10:29 |
| bart416 | changing the jumper would take several hours cause of the way the hardware is fitted in the case | 10:29 |
| bart416 | so that's not really an option | 10:29 |
| rayno_b | Bart, do you mind if I pvt you? | 10:30 |
| bart416 | the HD has both win xp and kubuntu on it (I'm happy I didn't try debian) | 10:30 |
| bart416 | now if I boot it'll load grub | 10:30 |
| indus | Flannel: it was a popular problem or bug, and if you telling me that the devs will only fix a problem if you file a launchpad report, thats really arrogant, but i dont believe thats how they work. | 10:30 |
| bart416 | the side issue being that it gives error 22 | 10:30 |
| u_dparte | psycolizard, at the first menu after the language try hitting f4 and selecting the safe graphics mode | 10:30 |
| koshari | bart416: it wont care if its master or slave, its the dev that it cares about, and you may need to install the grub onto the mbr if you have changes drives | 10:30 |
| moncky | AndorinKato: purple is a library for pidgin, pidgin is installed to /usr/bin in my system | 10:30 |
| u_dparte | psycolizard, if it's not that, you might have a bad disk ... did you check the disk for errors? | 10:31 |
| bart416 | well, the fact that it loads means it's in the mbr koshari | 10:31 |
| indus | Flannel: but anyway ill file one if thats what it will take | 10:31 |
| halberd | hey is it possible to revert my kernel to an older version? | 10:31 |
| Flannel | indus: You're saying that the people in charge of packaging pidgin need to be omniscient? | 10:31 |
| qe2eqe | indus, =( | 10:31 |
| bart416 | cause if it was booting directly from the slave it'd load xp | 10:31 |
| bart416 | it wrote the mbr on one of the sata disks | 10:31 |
| u_dparte | halberd, when you but up you can select which kernel | 10:31 |
| psycolizard | ill go check that, i guess brb, whether it works or not | 10:31 |
| indus | qe2eqe: yes? | 10:31 |
| koshari | bart416 it looks like the grub mbr is pointing to the wrong drive then | 10:32 |
| AndorinKato | moncky: Here are the brief install instructions and the error I get when I attempt to follow them: http://pastebin.com/d7cb15c9 I just suck at compiling and have no idea what to do with the 'configure' step | 10:32 |

| henux | we have a server machine with HP UPS, do you know if i can use the apcuspd / uspd found from the Ubuntu repos with that? | 10:54 |
| qe2eqe | edgarmattern, oh. Well it'd be nice if you filed a bug report for something that supermajorserious. My advice would be to look into blocking the package, or changing grub's conf file | 10:54 |
| djiezes | gangil: you can configure it to refresh every x seconds or so, so that's pretty much realtime | 10:54 |
| u_dparte | edgarmattern, just did a googley search and it looks like your not the only one experiencing this | 10:55 |

| edgarmattern | or what habe you searched? | 10:55 |
| edgarmattern | for what... | 10:55 |
| edgarmattern | have | 10:55 |
| psycolizard | ok, what are the differences between ubuntu x86 and x64, because if theres no preformance/appearance differences than ill just try x86 | 10:55 |
| BuGo_laptop | how can i disable firefox auto updates for all users and all sessions | 10:55 |
| u_dparte | edgarmattern, kernel panic not syncing ubuntu | 10:55 |
| u_dparte | 2nd one down is from the ubuntu forums | 10:55 |
| gangil | djiezes: do you refer to *sensord* package in the synaptic , as the hardware-sensors template | 10:56 |
| u_dparte | psycolizard, do you have a 64bit processor? | 10:56 |
| psycolizard | yes, im even running vista ultimate 64 as we speak | 10:56 |
| djiezes | gangil: no, in synaptic it's called sensors-applet | 10:56 |
| quixotiC- | can i make a comment on the ubuntu website here? | 10:57 |
| quixotiC- | a bug, sort of | 10:57 |
| u_dparte | psycolizard, you'd probably be better off w/ x86 | 10:57 |
| u_dparte | x64 can be very difficult to get working if your not real comfortable w/ linux already | 10:57 |
| u_dparte | though it has improved | 10:58 |
| psycolizard | what is the difference, ive always wondered | 10:58 |
| djiezes | psycolizard: biggest reason to switch to x64 is if you have 4gb ram or more | 10:58 |
| quixotiC- | so this is not the place for bug reports on the website? :P | 10:58 |
| psycolizard | i do have 4gb | 10:58 |
| qe2eqe | quixotiC-, =/ wish I knew. I doubt the webdevs scan irc logs | 10:59 |
| djiezes | psycolizard: then it'd make sense to go for x64, but you might run into some issues with flash for example, or adobe air, be ready to do some tweaking. | 10:59 |
| u_dparte | psycolizard, many of the applications compiled for x64 take advantage of the multi-threading capabilities that your process was built for | 10:59 |
| quixotiC- | ok understood, thanks :) | 10:59 |
| psycolizard | so x64 is what i want/need, but its not wanting to work :/ | 10:59 |
| u_dparte | problem is there are still packages out there that haven't been compiled for 64 bit architecture | 10:59 |
| psycolizard | if i do x86, and that works, what will the issues be with my ram? | 11:00 |
| djiezes | psycolizard: it'll work, but some things won't 'out of the box', I run jaunty 64bit & had to fix some flash issues and also some adobe air apps don't work. | 11:00 |
| u_dparte | how much ram do you have? | 11:00 |
| psycolizard | 4 even, 2 and 2 | 11:00 |
| u_dparte | that's the same as me .. I run x86 and it reads all of mine | 11:01 |
| quixotiC- | linux 32 bit does have support for more then 3 gigs of ram | 11:01 |
| psycolizard | ok, because i know vista has that problem if its not x64, hence me running vista 64 | 11:01 |
| u_dparte | psycolizard, tbo you won't noticed a difference running x64 unless your doing something really processor intensive like folding or something like that | 11:01 |
| indus | u_dparte: or video editing | 11:02 |
| psycolizard | alright, ill see if its just not wanting to take because its linux 64, ill try 32 and i it dont work then I guess its my mobo or something | 11:02 |
| u_dparte | indus, no offense to linux but i'll leave my video editing to mac... for the time being | 11:02 |
| indus | u_dparte: or windows :P | 11:03 |
| quixotiC- | mac = linux, no offence taken :P | 11:03 |
| u_dparte | quixotiC-, true | 11:03 |
| psycolizard | alright, well i suppose ill be right back, ill let u know if x32 works | 11:03 |

| u_dparte | qe2eqe, thanks | 11:07 |
| thefeds | Will they be working? | 11:07 |
| dvs- | u_dparte, i tried to install 185 driver, but then i got some troubles with the X config, and had to reinstall ubuntu | 11:07 |
| qe2eqe | thefeds, that doesn't even sound legal. I know if you try that on the fly it won't let you | 11:07 |
| thefeds | So you can't have 2 partitions with the same mount point? | 11:08 |
| u_dparte | dvs - yikes .. did you follow this guide?: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=99513 | 11:08 |
| thefeds | can you just have a partition without a mount point? | 11:08 |
| thefeds | What do I do? | 11:08 |
| u_dparte | I just used it earlier and it worked great | 11:08 |
| mcfarlane | When I do tail /var/log/messeges, what does the -- MARK -- processes mean? | 11:08 |
| fdelanoy | thefeds: I think you can, but only the last mounted one will be visible/active | 11:08 |
| dvs- | u_dparte: ill have a look at it | 11:08 |
| dvs- | thanks | 11:08 |
| u_dparte | yep | 11:08 |
| thefeds | What happens if I don't set a mount point? | 11:08 |
| qe2eqe | thefeds, well, you can look at /etc/fstab, which should make sense | 11:09 |
| fdelanoy | thefeds: why would you want to do that BTW? | 11:09 |
| thefeds | What happens if I don't set a mount point? | 11:09 |

| duckwars | how do I find an external hard drive in ubuntu through the terminal? | 11:09 |
| thefeds | well if I have 3 hard disks, how do I partition them | 11:09 |
| thefeds | so I can use 3 | 11:09 |
| thefeds | in ubuntu | 11:09 |
| u_dparte | duckwars | 11:09 |
| qe2eqe | thefeds, unless you're using it to help raise the temperature of your case in an arctic climate. | 11:09 |
| fdelanoy | duckwars: /media | 11:09 |
| u_dparte | duckwars, cd /media/disk/<drives> | 11:09 |
| thefeds | So how do I use all three drives? | 11:10 |
| moncky | thefeds: format them with seperate mount points eg /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2 | 11:10 |
| moncky | thefeds: though I would reccomend not doing that and instead looking at LVM | 11:10 |
| duckwars | how do I use terminal to copy a file from another computer I'm logged into to my local computer? | 11:11 |
| qe2eqe | thefeds, well, you might want to look into raid techniques if you want a seamless transition, but that also more than triples the likelihood you lose data. =/ I'll walk you through an example mount. You have sda1, sda2, sda3. Type mkdir /mnt/sda1 and try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 | 11:11 |
| thefeds | If I make the mount point /disk1 instead of /mnt/disk1, will non root be able to look at it? | 11:12 |
| rmccinfo | bonjour | 11:12 |
| qe2eqe | thefeds, it won't work if you don't have any filesystem, so you might need mkfs, ubuntu has neat scripts to help you with that | 11:12 |
| thefeds | one disk is mounted as / | 11:13 |
| thefeds | 2 are /disk1 /disk2 | 11:13 |
| thefeds | and a swap partition | 11:13 |
| qe2eqe | thefeds, well, if non-root can't see it, all you have to do is change permissions, which i don't remember off-hand | 11:13 |
| thefeds | If I have a hard disk as a slave to a CD-ROM drive, how much slower will it be? | 11:14 |
| thefeds | right now one of my hard drives is a slave | 11:14 |
| thefeds | to the CD rom drive | 11:14 |

| bart416 | psycolizard, what's the install problem? | 11:58 |
| bazhang | psycolizard, tried the alternate cd yet? what about bootoptions? | 11:58 |

| imaginativeone | how do I get my window controls back? | 11:59 |
| bazhang | thankyou, widget layer? in kde4? | 11:59 |

| BigMack83 | joebodo: ok as my user if i go into the users profile and run "ll" the link is blue, normal colors. but as that user the link is red. i will try creating the link as the other user | 11:59 |
| bazhang | thankyou, let me take a look at mine | 12:00 |

| snoker52 | uops | 12:00 |
| discorpia | joebodo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/208043/ does that xorg.conf look weird to you? (or to anyone else for that matter) | 12:01 |
| psycolizard | i dont know what that means... im new to this | 12:01 |
| bazhang | psycolizard, did you md5 the iso? and do the disk integrity check after burning at very low speed? | 12:01 |
| BigMack83 | joebodo: the user that cant access the dir is allowed to create the link to the dir (does not have sudo access) | 12:01 |
| psycolizard | did the integrity check, and ive installed it on one computer already | 12:01 |
| bazhang | psycolizard, what graphics card | 12:01 |
| psycolizard | 2x nvidia 8600GTS | 12:02 |

| bazhang | remoteCTR1, pendrive connected to what | 12:02 |
| rski | remoteCTR1: not possible | 12:02 |
| qe2eqe | rski, I disagree | 12:03 |
| rski | well if you run mac it is | 12:03 |
| dAnon | qe2eqe ran it | 12:03 |
| rski | so agreed | 12:03 |
| remoteCTR1 | bazhang, pendrive connected to debian lenny | 12:03 |
| qe2eqe | dAnon, if you run it in a terminal it tells you yes or no. | 12:03 |
| rski | .... | 12:03 |
| bazhang | remoteCTR1, #debian | 12:03 |
| remoteCTR1 | bazhang, err... i want to have ubuntu on the pendrive? | 12:04 |
| qe2eqe | rski, =) If you don't count a livecd as a ram installation? | 12:04 |
| dAnon | qe2eqe http://paste.ubuntu.com/208046/plain/ | 12:04 |
| bazhang | remoteCTR1, or pendrive website (really a #debian issue though) | 12:04 |
| dAnon | this is what it returns | 12:04 |
| remoteCTR1 | bazhang, im not sure i follow... in jaunty there is a menu item in system menu to create an image, theres also gotta be a manual way, right? | 12:05 |
| qe2eqe | dAnon, that blows my mind why it returned anything. | 12:05 |
| bazhang | remoteCTR1, you specified without Ubuntu though (check the pendrive website for more) | 12:06 |
| qe2eqe | dAnon, Have you made sure you enabled proprietary hardware drivers through the menu? | 12:06 |
| psycolizard | this is what startx gave me : primary device not pci, (EE) no devices detected, Fatal Server Error: no screens found | 12:06 |

| jpds | commodore256: Well, we all have to learn some day. | 12:34 |
| qe2eqe | commodore256, I disagree whole heartedly. CLI hacks saved my noob butt left and right | 12:34 |
| ziroday | commodore256: the command line is a very direct and easy way for helpers to guide you into doing exactly what is needed to be done. | 12:34 |

| armagheddonsgw | hi guys i need serious help with my comp. ubuntu seems to be CAPABLE of fixing it, but i dont know how. in windows, disk 1 (hard drive) and both optical drives cant be found. in ubuntu however the partitions on disk 0 cant be mounted | 12:35 |
| qe2eqe | jg_, you'll learn real quick to measure twice and cut once with text commands. =) | 12:35 |
| commodore256 | If they just came from monoploy OS, the last thing they wanna do is use the thing that looks like the command prompt that they never used. | 12:36 |
| jg_ | ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:36 |
| jg_ | Need to get 36.4MB of archives. | 12:36 |
| jg_ | After this operation, 105MB of additional disk space will be used. | 12:36 |
| jg_ | Do you want to continue [Y/n]? | 12:36 |
| qe2eqe | armagheddonsgw, alot of times, in that setup, problems happen when the windows partitions haven't been unmounted proper, i.e, windows not shut down well | 12:36 |
| rski | jg_: and? | 12:36 |
| lstarnes | jg_: you probably want Y | 12:36 |
| armagheddonsgw | yeah i know WHAT the problem is | 12:36 |
| jg_ | ok | 12:36 |
| armagheddonsgw | i want to know HOW to fix it | 12:36 |
| ziroday | commodore256: nobody is forcing you to use the command line, however the person helping you often prefers it as its quicker, more direct and easier to follow | 12:37 |
| qe2eqe | jg_, try to be polite and conserve how many lines you post in this channel. | 12:37 |
| joebodo | OMG I have to use the buttons with the letters on them !! | 12:37 |
| jg_ | shut up | 12:38 |
| armagheddonsgw | .... yes thats called a keyboard joebodo. | 12:38 |
| commodore256 | Driving is only quicker than walking only if you know how to drive | 12:38 |
| rski | that's not being polite jg_ | 12:38 |
| jg_ | ok i know srry lol | 12:38 |
| m477 | #ubuntu-pl | 12:38 |
| bazhang | jg_, lose the attitude | 12:38 |
| qe2eqe | commodore256, besides, gui is like communicating with gestures, cli is like language. You'd like to think that computing's final form exists in the latter, less cavemanish ways. | 12:38 |
| ziroday | commodore256: I'm sure if you asked the helper they would be happy to explain to you what is going on. | 12:38 |
| jg_ | hi | 12:39 |
| armagheddonsgw | uhh... someone going to help me or do i have to wait all day for someone to notice i need help? | 12:39 |

| huwenfeng | hi, i setup squid as transparent proxy for other people. but in the localhost( the firewall, running the squid), web traffic does not go through squid , but connect the internet directly! how can i let the localhost's web traffic also goes through squid? transparently! | 12:45 |
| jg_ | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | jg_: have you restarted your browser after installing flash? | 12:46 |
| qe2eqe | huwenfeng, admirable project you have. I never got through the squid manual when I tried =/ | 12:46 |
| joebodo | huwenfeng change your localhost browser to use the proxy | 12:47 |
| Dulak | huwenfeng: http://venturehosting.net/squid-as-a-transparent-proxy-on-a-stand-alone-machine/ | 12:47 |

| jg_ | Download done. | 12:47 |
| jg_ | Flash Plugin installed. | 12:47 |
| jg_ | what now | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | exit/restart the browser | 12:47 |
| discorpia | seriously, this is getting on my nerves.. is there no way to ignore/disable EDID in xorg? none of the options i'm trying seems to work at all | 12:47 |
| moncky | jg_: you will need to kill firefox and restart it | 12:47 |
| jg_ | browse? | 12:48 |
| jg_ | how do i do that | 12:48 |
| discorpia | my monitor section in xorg.conf seems to be completely ignored as well | 12:48 |
| bazhang | jg_, quit firefox | 12:48 |
| m477_ | #ubuntu-pl | 12:48 |
| moncky | click the x in the top right of the firefox window | 12:48 |
| jg_ | i am not in firefox now | 12:48 |
| jg_ | shell i open now again | 12:48 |
| lstarnes | jg_: yes | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | If you want to test firefox.. Yes.. you do need to start firefox.... | 12:48 |
| sniff__ | my logic is, wiping a system partition shouldn't make /home on separate disk inaccessible, if passphrase was asked to encrypt it.. and i don't remember it asking about keyfiles | 12:49 |
| sniff__ | (regarding ecryptfs) | 12:49 |
| joebodo | oh the suspense | 12:49 |
| jg_ | it still wont work | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !dontwork | 12:49 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 12:49 |
| bazhang | jg_, where did you dl flash from | 12:49 |

| discorpia | isn't there anyone here who has used ubuntu long enough and can tell me how to turn of all the automatic bullsh*t it does when starting xorg? i want to use an old plain xorg.conf but everything seems to get overridden | 12:52 |
| bazhang | discorpia, no cursing | 12:52 |
| discorpia | my apologies | 12:53 |
| ziroday | discorpia: and if you're xorg.conf is defined correctly it will be used | 12:53 |
| sniff__ | discorpia: apt-get remove gdm kdm xdm ? | 12:53 |
| sniff__ | then login and startx | 12:53 |
| sniff__ | it'll still go gnome/kde/xubuntu though | 12:54 |
| discorpia | ziroday: and if it's not shouldn't it atleast tell me? i've used all EDID-disabling switches i've found, even tried some deprecated ones, but it still ignores all monitor modes etc and uses EDID to (wrongly) identify the monitor | 12:54 |
| lstarnes | sniff__: that seems a bit too radical | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | discorpia: its also X itself thats doing all the auto config stuff for the most part. Not really 'ubuntu' doing it. | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Or thats how i understand it at least. | 12:54 |
| sniff__ | lstarnes: well, just disable them in rc?.d | 12:55 |
| huwenfeng | Dulak: Oh, yes, it now goes through the squid proxy now, but just block them, i can not use firefox to browse the internet now, though it do go through the proxy | 12:55 |
| JediMaster | are there any distributed file systems that are supported on ubuntu? | 12:55 |
| sniff__ | i figured discorpia doesn't want display managers :) | 12:55 |
| discorpia | Dr_Willis: i haven't seen this high level of automation in any other dist actually | 12:55 |
| _Claus | JediMaster yes AndrewFS is one, but I dont know how to set that up | 12:55 |
| discorpia | sniff__: i just want to force to accept my resolution no matter what it _thinks_ the monitor is | 12:56 |
| discorpia | i'm all for autoidentifying stuff, but it's a real nightmare when you're given no tools to override | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | discorpia: they may not be using the same X version. also the 'hal' configs (i think) can let you tweak some of the automated configs for X. | 12:56 |
| JediMaster | _Claus: not heard of it, how any ideas on performance and reliability? | 12:56 |

| aseemshakuntal | i am good how do you do | 13:23 |
| joebodo | Zopiac the app is not able to find the jars needed to run - you could see if frostwire is a script - if so, take a look at it and see if it defines the location for the jars | 13:24 |

| jg_ | why cant i extract rar files | 13:25 |
| salil__ | jg, repeat your question | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !unrar | jg_ | 13:25 |
| rski | jg_: because you haven't learned yet | 13:25 |
| ubottu | jg_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 13:25 |
| Zopiac | joebodo: it is /usr/bin/frostwire, i was just asking | 13:25 |
| Zopiac | joebodo: it is a script, copying to pastebin.... | 13:26 |
| jg_ | Look i downloaded a rar file so it says file archive not supported | 13:26 |
| joebodo | Zopiac here's a link that shows how to fix the problem you are having: http://forum.frostwire.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6241#p23108 | 13:26 |
| Zopiac | joebodo: http://pastebin.com/m1e39bd3b | 13:26 |
| jg_ | why dosent anyone want to help me | 13:27 |
| jg_ | rski | 13:27 |
| jg_ | rski | 13:27 |
| discorpia | jg: are you sure the archive is not broken? | 13:27 |
| jg_ | there is written Could not open "ne94kg_45.rar" | 13:27 |
| jg_ | Archive type not supported. | 13:27 |
| discorpia | try apt-get install rar | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | jg_: you install the unrar tools. | 13:28 |
| jg_ | i dont have the unrar tools | 13:28 |
| jg_ | do you have to have them | 13:28 |
| rski | that's a good idea to have them yes | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jg_: they are in the repositories like 99.9999% of the tools you will need. | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | I always install them. | 13:28 |
| jg_ | ok then send me a link | 13:28 |
| masrukhin | join? | 13:28 |
| jg_ | with tem | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jg_: they are in the repositories.. no need to download them from some link. Use the package manager tools to install them | 13:29 |
| giaco | I'd like to use libgl1-mesa-dri package from karmik because the stable in 9.04 is broken fro my graphic card. How can I download this package and all the dependencies automatically? | 13:29 |
| jg_ | what is repoistories | 13:29 |
| Zopiac | joebodo: only one problem | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | !repo | jg_ | 13:29 |
| ubottu | jg_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 13:29 |
| Zopiac | joebodo: the /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrost.sh file that i need to edit doesnt exist | 13:29 |
| jg_ | what is that | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | jg_: they are the main servers/system wher eyou get new programs from. | 13:29 |
| bazhang | jg_, please read the links given to you | 13:29 |
| AdvoWork | anyone recommend a network plan/tool(for representing comps/ips) in a graphical way, for ubuntu? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | jg_: the whole 'package manager' system is oneof the MAIN thints that make linux so much easier then windows. | 13:30 |
| jg_ | I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | jg_: so fire up synaptic and look for the 'rar' tools and install them | 13:30 |
| bazhang | jg_, lose the caps | 13:30 |
| jg_ | I dont understand plz tell me in private | 13:30 |
| joebodo | zopiac that's not good :) maybe install didnt complete sucessfully ? | 13:30 |
| salil__ | jg_, Please check the links that ubottu gave you. | 13:31 |

| bazhang | jg_, read some of the links first | 13:31 |
| jg_ | ok | 13:31 |
| bart416 | AdvoWork, EtherApe | 13:31 |
| jg_ | send some of the links THEN | 13:31 |
| Zopiac | joebodo: maybe i have to do it before i open it up the first time? idk, it says 'before you run frostwire' in the forum | 13:31 |
| bazhang | jg_, scroll up | 13:31 |
| salil__ | jg_, ubottu gave you!! | 13:31 |
| Zopiac | joebodo: im uninstalling/reinstalling it, just in case | 13:31 |
| joebodo | the install should have created the script - | 13:32 |
| joebodo | ok | 13:32 |

| Titan8990_ | !doesntwork | seb9r | 13:40 |
| bart416 | ok, how the hell do you put the kde clock on 24 hours :| | 13:40 |
| ubottu | seb9r: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 13:40 |
| armagheddonsgw | LOL | 13:40 |
| aurilliance | lol | 13:40 |
| raddar | i like this 1 ! | 13:40 |

| armagheddonsgw | yeah ok how do i get my problem fixed? (mounting dvd drives using force) | 13:41 |
| aurilliance | I remember doing it by right clicking or so | 13:41 |
| bart416 | yeah, but it doesn't have an option for it aurilliance | 13:41 |
| seb9r | i just mentioned it, i just get some questions concerning my keyboard but not every questions mentioned in the ubuntu wiki | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | bart416: in time/date settings.. then you ahve to logout/back in or some how restart the clock - i recall. | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | bart416: the #kubuntu guys proberly can tell you exactly how | 13:41 |
| bart416 | there is somebody alive over there? :P | 13:42 |
| seb9r | my xorg.conf is pretty minimal too...i dunno why | 13:42 |
| seb9r | its just Section "Device" | 13:42 |
| seb9r | Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 13:42 |
| seb9r | EndSection | 13:42 |

| armagheddonsgw | alright, let me rephrase my problem: whats the terminal command for mounting a dvd drive? (primary) | 13:43 |

| EdgEy | armagheddonsgw, try /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom0 | 13:43 |

| histolo2 | Question: will cannonical upgarade to firefox 3.5 in there repo? | 13:43 |
| EdgEy | err sorry other way around | 13:43 |
| aurilliance | histolo2: why is it an issue | 13:44 |
| aurilliance | ? | 13:44 |
| lucianogp | anybody noticed in Ubuntu when installing ff-3.5 that window alerts produce the drums sound that usually appears when you have to log in? | 13:44 |
| armagheddonsgw | uh guys i have a dvd1 and dvd2 in my /dev folder | 13:44 |
| armagheddonsgw | (2 dvd drives)" | 13:44 |
| histolo2 | I just wanna know should i wait a few days or upgrade thru the mozilla ppa | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | histolo2: id just wait. | 13:45 |
| aurilliance | same | 13:45 |
| aurilliance | (Dr_Willis) | 13:45 |
| histolo2 | So word is it'll be upgraded soon (unlike oo.org where we had to wait to ubuntu 9.04) | 13:46 |
| seb9r | couldnt someone tell me why my xorg.conf is that minimal and im not able to reconfigure it completly? :o | 13:46 |
| lucianogp | I read in a blog it's just a couple of days away | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: the new X versions auto-configure for the most part. | 13:46 |
| histolo2 | ok thanks guys | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: or use the hal fdi configs for tweaking | 13:47 |
| seb9r | the problem is that i cant install my ati drivers probably due to that | 13:47 |
| seb9r | it just says Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 13:47 |
| seb9r | and installing the driver just causes my ubuntu not to boot anymore | 13:47 |
| hemanth | webcam help needed http://pastebin.com/m10a6d322 | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: ati drivers should auto-configure also automatically. however ATI has dropped many cards from their 'fglrx' drivers.. so you just use the radeon/ati Open sourced driver for those cards now. | 13:48 |
| seb9r | i have the x850xt which is actually supported | 13:48 |
| armagheddonsgw | uh guys whats the filesystem for an optical drive? | 13:49 |
| seb9r | and im just wondering why there isnt a ati entry anywhere if its auto-configured | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | armagheddonsgw: iso9660 or 'udf' normally | 13:49 |
| armagheddonsgw | ok | 13:49 |
| armagheddonsgw | so just sudo mount -t udf <mountpoint> -o force yes? | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: its auto configured as X loads.. i have systems with no xorg.conf file at all.. it dosent auto-configure as in 'generates a xorg.conf' | 13:50 |
| om26er | hi plz tell me is there a way to set my other hardrive to automatically mount at startup | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: you may want to check the forums for tha texact card. | 13:50 |
| seb9r | ah alright | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: edit /etc/fstab with a proper line for that drive. | 13:50 |
| seb9r | how can i check if opengl and directcd works? | 13:50 |

| derek6711 | hi | 13:51 |
| seb9r | i followed all these instructions already and it didnt work | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: ati drivers are often in a 'unstable' state it seems.. | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: so it mah be the ati drivers/that card/ have issues | 13:52 |
| derek6711 | yes they are | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | one very big reasin i now only use nvidia | 13:52 |
| zugiart | good evening, everyone! | 13:52 |
| seb9r | the strange thing is that the driver actually worked about 2 months ago | 13:52 |
| derek6711 | i have a vista that the screen freezes on with an ati graphics card | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | seb9r: new X versions.. new atti driver versions.... | 13:53 |
| Johnneylee | Hello, can I get some help with something? | 13:53 |
| derek6711 | depends... | 13:53 |
| seb9r | when i use this aticonfig--initial or smth comand it just says that i dont have a compatible video card | 13:53 |
| om26er | Dr_Willis: can u plz give me an example | 13:53 |
| seb9r | but concerning lspci | grep VGA i got one | 13:53 |
| arand | !ask | Johnneylee | 13:53 |
| Johnneylee | I have a goal of setting up a mail server. | 13:53 |
| ubottu | Johnneylee: 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. :-) | 13:53 |
| derek6711 | ok... | 13:53 |
| derek6711 | continue | 13:53 |
| derek6711 | got any programs you want to use | 13:54 |
| Johnneylee | I have looked into it and attempted quite a few times. | 13:54 |
| derek6711 | what program | 13:54 |
| Johnneylee | I have no preferences. | 13:54 |
| Johnneylee | I'd like to send an recieve mail to my domain name. | 13:55 |
| derek6711 | ill see what i can dig up | 13:55 |
| Johnneylee | Thank you. | 13:55 |
| Johnneylee | I'm stoked that I set up my x11 forwarding through ssh. | 13:55 |
| zugiart | question on SMBMOUNT: what will happen if I smbmount-ed a directory over and over again? e.g. 1) smbmount from a windows share to a dir. 2) smbmount from a windows share to the same dir AGAIN. is this bad? and if so how can I check if there's anything mounted on that dir already or not ? | 13:55 |
| seb9r | dr_willis, could you tell me why my graphic card does not show up in system -> hardware drivers? | 13:56 |
| derek6711 | i am assuming you have the desktop version of ubuntu | 13:56 |
| seb9r | or is that normal? | 13:56 |
| Johnneylee | Can you use smb sharing across the internet? | 13:56 |
| om26er | hi plz tell me is there a way to set my other hardrive to automatically mount at startup | 13:56 |
| zugiart | johneylee: yes you should be able to. It will be slow tho | 13:56 |
| arand | !fstab | om26er | 13:57 |
| ubottu | om26er: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 13:57 |
| seb9r | could anyone tell me why my graphic card ati x850xt does not shopw up in system -> hardware drivers? | 13:57 |
| derek6711 | om26er, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/ | 13:57 |
| Johnneylee | The reason I ask is I am setting up a server that will allow people to sign up and get a home directory with a shell I made and I wanted people to be able to mount it in smb as well as ftp and a few other options. | 13:58 |

| indy_ | hi all | 14:08 |
| derek6711 | hi | 14:08 |
| indy_ | need some help with my samba setup | 14:08 |
| indy_ | for some reason i can't browse the window shares using nautilus | 14:09 |
| indy_ | keeps saying cannot mount | 14:09 |
| derek6711 | indy_, does it prompt for a password | 14:09 |
| indy_ | and yet if i do a smbclient -L i can see the shares | 14:09 |
| Kangarooo | indy_: I had same problem.. I think its broken.. I could find help also.. | 14:10 |
| bart416 | Kangarooo, the other packages might be dependencies of other software as well | 14:10 |
| bart416 | ;) | 14:10 |
| indy_ | derek6711: not anymore | 14:10 |
| indy_ | i turned off the password for shared files in Vista | 14:10 |
| derek6711 | indy_, did you check the permissions of the share on the actual computer and check the workgroup? | 14:10 |
| indy_ | Kangarooo: hope not... | 14:10 |
| boss_mc | Kangarooo: try removing it with aptitude (sudo aptitude remove blah) | 14:11 |
| boss_mc | Kangarooo: or using sudo apt-get auto-remove after removing it with apt-get | 14:11 |
| indy_ | ok..it's removed | 14:12 |
| Kurlon | Is there a way to increase the time required for X to call a mouse click a 'drag' event? | 14:12 |

| boss_mc | Kangarooo: you could try deborphan after (it looks for packages that were installed as dependencies but their dependant is now gone) | 14:14 |
| arand | gauravsrf: There's a shred tool I think | 14:15 |
| joebodo | derek6711 use the preferences->main menu to configure menu entries | 14:15 |
| Exile | hey has anyone got a minute? I'm trying to install gnome on ubuntu server | 14:15 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, so i just add it in the menu using that gui? | 14:15 |
| desertman | hi | 14:15 |
| Exile | hey | 14:15 |
| joebodo | derek6711 yup | 14:15 |
| modderx | isn't gnome included in a meta-package? | 14:15 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, ok that is the same thing i did on the panel | 14:16 |
| jschiff | modderx: ubuntu-desktop | 14:16 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, i also have another problem | 14:16 |
| indy_ | kangarooo: shall i reinstall samba? | 14:16 |
| Exile | I dont know, I'd like to avoid doing something like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop as it installs aload of stuff I dont want | 14:16 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, i have a game called domination it is a form of risk | 14:16 |
| Exile | I just want gnome running on my server | 14:16 |
| Exile | any ideas how I go about this? | 14:17 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, it is a java file that i cant figure out how to run so i created a command shortcut | 14:17 |
| modderx | like apt-get install gnome-desktop yeah thanks jschiff | 14:17 |
| modderx | sorry | 14:17 |
| modderx | disregard the apt comment | 14:17 |
| jschiff | modderx: like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 14:17 |
| jschiff | yeah np | 14:17 |
| Exile | well | 14:17 |
| Exile | I tryed apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and that didnt work | 14:18 |
| Kangarooo | indy_: well I haven't yet experienced that bug is lost by removing and intalling again. but if some files are lost then that will put files back in polace and that means it will work | 14:18 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, it is a jar so i combined a cd command with a java command | 14:18 |
| Exile | so like that | 14:18 |
| Exile | but working | 14:18 |
| Exile | lol | 14:18 |
| Exile | I just ran apt-get install ubuntu-desktop on a server terminal | 14:18 |
| Exile | and it still wouldnt boot into gnome | 14:18 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, and when i start the shortcut it opens a terminal and says error creating child processes | 14:18 |
| Exile | even when I type startx | 14:18 |
| naiad | I just installed ubuntu-desktop 9.04 and it seems ipv6 is compiled into the kernel directly instead of a module. My router doesn't seem to want to give it any connetion at all. Fromwhat Im reading the only way to disable it is to recompile the kernel? (ive tried a few kernel options in menu.lst but it doesnt seem to help) | 14:18 |
| Kangarooo | Exile: sudo put in start.. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desk and press TAB it will autocomplete | 14:18 |
| joebodo | derek6711 you may be able to do this : java -jar <name of jar> | 14:18 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, here is the command | 14:18 |
| jrib | Exile: did you try starting gdm? | 14:19 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, cd ~/bin/Domination; java -jar Domination.jar | 14:19 |
| Exile | no I'll try that before doing Kangaroos suggestion | 14:19 |
| joebodo | derek6711 give this a try: java -jar ~/bin/Domination/Domination.jar | 14:19 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, There was an error creating the child process for this terminal | 14:19 |
| discorpia | i'm giving up and going back to xp for now, already spent two workdays on trying to get this fixed. i've tried ati cards, nvidia cards and vesa drivers but i find no way to make xorg recognize the resolutions my monitor can handle | 14:19 |
| discorpia | thanks everyone for the help and links | 14:20 |
| jrib | discorpia: you've read !fixres? | 14:20 |
| joebodo | derek6711 you can try from the command line first to see if it works correctly | 14:20 |
| Exile | ok jrib I got start: Unknown job: gdm | 14:20 |
| discorpia | !fixres | 14:20 |

| Kangarooo | Exile: installing is possible with supermegadmin acceptance only.. and it can be given only with command sudo.. it then asks for password.. why like that? so no auto spy virus installation without permission is possible. | 14:21 |
| joebodo | derek6711 did you try from command line ? | 14:21 |
| gauravsrf | sorry didn't find that any other way to delete as such | 14:21 |

| joebodo | derek6711 hmm - maybe try putting in the full path to your jar - | 14:22 |
| Exile | it says its not installed | 14:23 |
| joebodo | derek6711 instead of the ~ | 14:23 |
| === pkoffff is now known as Cream | ||
| derek6711 | joebodo, the terminal just disappears | 14:23 |
| Exile | ok kangarooo I have been doing all this as root | 14:23 |
| Kangarooo | Exile: yes only root can install programms. so to install use in front of installation use sudo | 14:23 |
| jrib | discorpia: you should pastebin what you tried after reading !fixres and the results (description and logs), if you still want help | 14:23 |
| naiad | can anyone confirm i have to download a new version of the kernel to disable ipv6 on 9.04 as i dont see the sources available through the disc? | 14:23 |
| mindframe- | anyone maintaining the firefox-3.5 package in 9.04? | 14:23 |
| joebodo | are you using just: java -jar ... (without the cd command) ? | 14:23 |
| gauravsrf | is there any way to delete the file permanently from hard disk without any way to recover it ? mean to say that any way by which it's being deleted and can not be recovered by any tool or software | 14:23 |
| hateball | gauravsrf: shred | 14:24 |
| jrib | Exile: you should get in the habit of reading output from commands you type | 14:24 |
| Kangarooo | ah ok then its installed.. Exile: maybe restart and change session.. session manage has some other then gnome as default? press button session at login screen and there choose | 14:24 |
| Exile | jrib I am using putty | 14:24 |
| jrib | gauravsrf: read « man shred » | 14:24 |

| Exile | ? | 14:24 |
| Exile | beacuse it wont let me | 14:24 |
| Kangarooo | Exile: !pastebin | 14:24 |
| jrib | Exile: so you're on windows? | 14:24 |
| Kangarooo | www.pastebin.lv | 14:24 |
| joebodo | derek6711 another way to do this is put the command in a script file, set the perms on the file like chmod +x scriptname | 14:24 |
| spc | damn im planning to make me a htpc or better a multimedia pc i tryed kubuntu (but its paint when watching videos from lan, it copies them first) so i tryed ubuntu which is a bit better but i have problems on (k)ubuntu with my cheap labtec wirless keyboard.so anyone can suggest me some good distro or sth to test? | 14:25 |
| Kangarooo | ups Exile www.pastebin.com | 14:25 |
| joebodo | derek6711 then use that script for the menu entry | 14:25 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, how can i make it run the java files | 14:25 |
| Exile | no I am on a ubuntu desktop box ssh'd into my ubuntu server that I am trying to install gnome on | 14:25 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, instead of the jar | 14:25 |
| Exile | sorry should have said | 14:25 |
| Exile | I am also using putty | 14:25 |
| joebodo | derek6711 you basically put in the script exactly what you did from the command line to get it to work | 14:26 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, what do you mean | 14:26 |
| Exile | I could take screenshots? | 14:26 |
| Boohbah | Exile: why would you install gnome on a server? | 14:26 |
| om26er | plz tell me how to set my other harddrive to automatically mount at startup. i dont know how to edit fstab | 14:26 |
| LTAFF | ALL HAIL CLI!!!! | 14:26 |
| Exile | because I need to run a windows application | 14:26 |
| jrib | !fstab | om26er | 14:26 |
| ubottu | om26er: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:26 |
| joebodo | !fstab | om26er | 14:26 |
| Kangarooo | spc: xubuntu is good but if you have been using linux for long time then try crunchbang its more ligher then xubuntu but it needs more experience.. or you'll be asking questions all the time :) | 14:27 |
| joebodo | om26er it's pretty easy actually | 14:27 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, how can i put it in the games menu and make it use its picture as well as run the run.sh | 14:27 |
| Exile | this to be precise http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/ | 14:27 |
| hateball | !apache | Exile | 14:27 |
| ubottu | Exile: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:27 |
| joebodo | derek6711 you can assign a new icon for the menu entry by dragging a picture into the menu command icon window | 14:27 |
| arand | gauravsrf: "info shred" | 14:27 |

| LTAFF | >:* | 14:28 |
| spc | Kangarooo thanks for info.i didnt tryed xubuntu but i think is not so different from ubuntu.also one thing driving me mad is remote desktop work.since i have effects enabled vnc is not working ok.some sort of bug...u suggest sth? | 14:28 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, drag a picture from where | 14:28 |
| jrib | gauravsrf: you should read the man page REALLY closely. Especially about its comments on journaled file systems | 14:28 |
| Boohbah | Exile: sounds like apache with a DirectoryIndex does the same thing much simpler | 14:28 |
| Exile | ok can users upload remotly? | 14:29 |
| joebodo | derek6711 youll need to have a picture file for what you want displayed in the menu | 14:29 |
| Exile | via a web broswer? | 14:29 |
| Exile | browser? | 14:29 |
| joebodo | derek6711 doesnt seem to work consistently though | 14:29 |
| Exile | and no other software? | 14:29 |
| derek6711 | joebodo, it comes with a globe picture but where does it get it | 14:29 |
| spc | Kangarooo also i hate kubuntu network manager since i have to disable it in order to get my iptv working on another lan card. | 14:29 |
| Exile | if so that might be a better way to go about it | 14:29 |
| Boohbah | Exile: with an ftp server | 14:29 |
| joebodo | derek6711 not sure - to put in games menu, go to preferences->main menu click on games in the left side, then click new item | 14:30 |

| discorpia | jrib: thanks mate, but i think i've pasted about 7-8 pastebins/xorg.conf/X.log.0 and all the tips (including all guides i've followed where i try to override EDID) has failed | 14:41 |
| jrib | discorpia: ok | 14:41 |
| short__error | I am needing help installing the TSP codec???? | 14:41 |
| discorpia | jrib: my problem is that this model reports corrupt EDID and that i can't seem to find a way to get xorg to ignore it | 14:41 |
| jrib | discorpia: modelines | 14:41 |
| tel0s | not necessarily an ubuntu question, but how would i make this multiple line command, span one line (it's so i can use it ina python script) http://debian.pastebin.com/ma3d5e64 | 14:41 |
| justanothercoder | jrib : its not working for me somehow | 14:41 |
| Exile | ok we have a file server that windows users can drag & drop files onto. These files would automaticly be browseable via web broswer for off site access. users can also upload via browser. | 14:41 |
| Exile | jrib it was using bartpe | 14:42 |
| jrib | tel0s: delete the \'s and join the lines? | 14:42 |
| Exile | a kind of like windows | 14:42 |
| qe2eqe | justanothercoder, I never got my head around sending commands to running processes. I have no idea how firefox knows to use same process with new window, but that script might be a place to start... | 14:42 |
| tel0s | jrib: tried that. it doesnt work :S | 14:42 |
| jrib | Exile: but you had to be running some software on the server? | 14:42 |
| discorpia | jrib: yeah, used cvt to generate modelines, didn't work. X.log didn't even mention it | 14:42 |
| jrib | tel0s: you didn't do it correctly then. Pastebin | 14:42 |
| Exile | then I got it all working on a ubuntu-desktop machine | 14:42 |
| Exile | yeah hfs | 14:42 |
| Exile | http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/ | 14:42 |
| FloodBot2 | Exile: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:42 |
| joebodo | om26er sorry - did that on another machine that's not with me currently | 14:42 |
| jrib | discorpia: again, you should pastebin this stuff | 14:42 |
| tel0s | jrib: ok one second | 14:43 |
| === jack_ is now known as JPSman | ||
| discorpia | jrib: i have, i have been here the whole day :D my browser history is filled with my own pastebins | 14:43 |
| jrib | Exile: i see, it's it's own server | 14:43 |
| jrib | discorpia: ok, but *I* cannot help you then | 14:43 |
| discorpia | jrib: true | 14:43 |
| Exile | yeah sorry I should have explained | 14:43 |
| jrib | -' | 14:43 |
| om26er | joebodo: yes?? | 14:43 |
| h00k | Does anybody know of - I had heard the answer once and forgot - I have download speeds that start at full speed and slow down to bytes per second, something with Cisco equipment | 14:43 |
| h00k | and TCP window | 14:44 |
| tel0s | jrib: http://debian.pastebin.com/m2642967a | 14:44 |
| Boohbah | Exile: there must be some similar software for linux but i'm having trouble finding it. | 14:44 |
| Exile | I litteraly had what I wanted working on a live bartpe windows cd, but I wanted to get the same working under ubuntu | 14:44 |
| Sirisian|Work | Where do you report old or corrupted packages in the package manager? | 14:44 |
| jrib | tel0s: how does that show me that it doesn't work? | 14:44 |
| Exile | I know I cant belive there isnt somethingout there | 14:44 |
| joebodo | om26er sorry i did it on another computer that's not with me | 14:44 |
| Boohbah | Exile: it's just that all that excess graphical stuff running on a server will slow it down | 14:44 |
| joebodo | om26er my daughter's eeepc | 14:45 |
| Exile | thanks for your effort Boohbah | 14:45 |
| tel0s | jrib: thought you wanted to see the command i used, one moment. | 14:45 |
| jrib | tel0s: anyway, you didn't copy it right. Look at line 4 | 14:45 |
| Exile | sure but I have enough power for that to be not a problem | 14:45 |
| Exile | of course if you know a better solution I dont mind trying things | 14:45 |
| tel0s | jrib: that extra "-"? | 14:45 |
| jrib | tel0s: s/extra// | 14:45 |
| om26er | joebodo: i am giving u my fstab in the pastebin check it | 14:46 |
| om26er | joebodo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/208145/ | 14:46 |
| tel0s | jrib: http://debian.pastebin.com/m234e6f4d correct now? | 14:47 |
| Exile | hmmmmm | 14:47 |
| jrib | tel0s: looks ok to me | 14:47 |
| tel0s | jrib: I'll test it now | 14:47 |
| Exile | can I use ubuntu-desktop as a server and remove the unnecessary packages? | 14:48 |
| tel0s | jrib: may I ask how that - affects the command? it seems like its passing an argument like -l or -v but without the character? wtf | 14:48 |
| Exile | I know this isnt ideal | 14:48 |
| iiii | does anybody know how to use external displays on the eee 701? | 14:48 |
| jrib | Exile: you might try the php channel or some other server-side scripting language to see if there exists something similar | 14:48 |
| jrib | tel0s: -O - tells wget to send the output to stdout | 14:48 |
| tel0s | jrib: ah ok, many thanks. | 14:49 |
| aethelrick | Exile: yes, in short you can | 14:49 |
| Sirisian|Work | Another quick question. Where is dpkg-buildpackage? Is it in build essentials or something? or dpkg-dev ? | 14:49 |
| aethelrick | Exile: I'd suggest adding a firewall if you're going to put your ex-desktop-now-server out on the web as well | 14:50 |
| jrib | Exile: I'd describe what you are looking for as a web interface for a file server | 14:50 |
| Exile | ok on top of my router firewall? | 14:50 |
| joebodo | om26er ur sure sda1 is correct ? | 14:50 |
| Sirisian|Work | oh nvm it is in dpkg-dev | 14:50 |
| Exile | yeah I need a webbrowser interface for a samba file server to be exact | 14:50 |
| om26er | yes | 14:50 |
| joebodo | om26er and what's the file system formatted as ? | 14:51 |
| om26er | do i have to use # | 14:51 |
| Exile | this is another problem | 14:51 |
| Exile | some is ntfs | 14:51 |
| Exile | some fat | 14:51 |
| Exile | some ex | 14:51 |
| iiii | could someone please tell me how I'd go about using an external display on an asus eee 701 w/ Ubuntu? | 14:51 |

| discorpia | jrib: http://pastebin.com/m598f2f73 this is my X.log.0 .. (my xorg.conf is currently barebone nvidia http://pastebin.com/mb2d264b), and this is the results i get from xrandr (http://pastebin.com/m1daccb1f) | 14:53 |
| aethelrick | be careful writing to NTFS, it's a minefield | 14:53 |
| jrib | Exile: if you need it for samba, then try the samba channel? They're more likely to know about such a thing | 14:53 |
| discorpia | jrib: the xrandr commands are based on the !resfix url | 14:53 |
| Exile | ok thanks for your help guys | 14:54 |
| Exile | I think I'm gonna try a few things as you have given me a few ideas | 14:54 |
| derek6711 | does anyone know how to resize a partition that is currently running the OS? | 14:55 |
| Titan8990_ | derek6711, can't resize mounted partitions, unless it is an LVM volume | 14:55 |
| Exile | thanks jrib, frostburn, aethelrick, Boohbah, ubottu, Kangarooo, and rski for all your help! | 14:55 |
| Kangarooo | Exile: im continuing... slower then without gui.. with gui of course its easyer.. but gui takes little cpu and now we have global warming.. so maybe use cloud computing or.. maybe this is also possible... my friend installed just server without gui on virtual server and maybe its possible to manage from other comp with gui? | 14:56 |
| derek6711 | Titan8990_, well i made a 5 or 6GB partition for ubuntu because i didnt know if i would like it but i now wish it was 14GB with is half my HD | 14:56 |

| LogicalGhost | Quick newbie question: I'm trying to move a file from one folder to another but it says "permission denied." What do I do? | 14:58 |
| Marticus | ubuntu certified professional | 14:59 |
| Rovanion | Hello there guys. I need to set up my Ubuntu to send some pritty picures trough an S-Video cable to my TV. How do I do this with the opensource ATI-drivers? | 14:59 |
| tel0s | LogicalGhost: sudo !! | 14:59 |
| derek6711 | LogicalGhost, DEPENDS upon where you are trying to move it | 15:00 |
| Marticus | I think I need LPI first though | 15:00 |
| jrib | discorpia: are you able to set the resolution you want using nvidia-settings? | 15:00 |
| derek6711 | LogicalGhost, you may have to get root permissions to move it there which can be obtained by sudo | 15:00 |
| hemanth | need help to fix my webcam badly | 15:00 |

| LogicalGhost | tel0s: I'm trying to just drag and drop, I don't know how to do it via terminal | 15:01 |
| derek6711 | LogicalGhost, you will probably need root and find some way of copying the file via terminal | 15:01 |
| hemanth | OmniVision Technologies, Inc. OV519 WebCam any tried hacking with it | 15:05 |
| NE | derek6711: no. When creating the partition, you will have to tell the partitioner that you want it to be of type ext3 | 15:05 |
| derek6711 | that was a nice cleanout | 15:05 |
| te_ | Rovanion: Did you find an answer yet? | 15:05 |
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone tell me how i can access .7z files...i am unable to access .7z files | 15:06 |

| jrib | Kartagis: system -> preferences -> default applications | 15:09 |
| wangyadong | hello | 15:09 |

| hemanth | which is the best way to voice chat with gtalk users from ubutnu ? | 15:16 |
| chocobanana | JeZ-l-Lee: you should go ahead and ask the question | 15:16 |
| NE | derek6711: you could either use any windows software to shrink your logical partition and then create the new partition in the free space provided, or you can see to do it in ubuntu using gparted. As ubuntu doesn't use that partition (unless you have it mounted) you'd be able to modify it. | 15:16 |
| MK13 | JeZ-l-Lee, what's ur problem? | 15:16 |
| MK13 | !ask | JeZ-l-Lee | 15:16 |
| ubottu | JeZ-l-Lee: 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. :-) | 15:16 |
| Marticus | is there a more appropriate irc channel for ucp discussion? | 15:17 |
| derek6711 | NE, i set it to automatically mount but i can unmount easy | 15:17 |
| NE | derek6711: nothing mounted is modifiable. Only viewable. | 15:17 |
| derek6711 | NE, my other sources say it is easier just to reinstall the whole thing because it isnt too customized yet | 15:18 |
| Rovanion | No luck there. Is there anyone here who knows how to set up a second display with the open source ati driver? | 15:18 |

| derek6711 | NE, so i cant mount the new partition and call it a extension until i boot from a live cd? | 15:19 |
| NE | derek6711: well that's a choice actually. If the ubuntu system doesn't have much in it and you don't loose stuff from reintalling, that could prove easier. This other way though, gives more oportunity to learn things. | 15:19 |

| intangir | lianimator: i think mencode can do stuff like that | 15:21 |
| NE | derek6711: in ubuntu, you can do anything with a partition, till you mount it. So you can shrink your sda5 for eg, create your sda8 for eg, make it be an ext3 partition, format it as such, then mount it and start using it :) | 15:21 |

| NE | derek6711: mostly system stuff. You keep it under / unless you know you want them in separate partitions. What you will be doing is moving /home in the new partition. | 15:28 |
| saliak | boohbah - coolio. do you have a local smtp server setup? | 15:28 |
| edbian | armagheddonsgw: Anything you do in ubuntu is likely to not have an effect on the way XP behaves. From the sound of it ubuntu is finding all of these drives that windows is missing correct? Then I would say it's safe to rule out hardware error. Maybe look at the jumpers on the drives themselves? Make sure they're set to cable select. | 15:28 |

| _antarez | hi people.... | 15:36 |
| edbian | armagheddonsgw: Ok. Wubi is kind of a hack just so you know. Did you boot windows on the master drive and install wubi from there onto a new NTFS partition on the slave drive? | 15:36 |

| masquerade | nareshov: nice, thanks | 16:00 |
| NE | derek6711: well.... it will kill it yes. So read around how to restore it. You can, windows only overwrites the boot record, but if you don't explixitly delete your "unknown" partitions, you can rebuild the boot record with grub again. | 16:01 |

| scunizi | javb: yes and probably a smart thing to do.. avoid installing the ati driver that is.. xrandr is what you want to read about or randr | 16:08 |
| scunizi | javb: also if needed making the appropriate additions to xorg.conf | 16:09 |

| homy | Uhm... I don't want to compile my own kernel etc., because then I have to track updates manually and loose the comfort of ubuntu. | 16:34 |
| POPEYE | therre is a trash on the screen | 16:34 |
| qe2eqe | Myrtti, you just rescued my system. It was nearly unresponsive... thanks! | 16:34 |
| porter1 | te_, I do have it to just auto install withou any confirmation, but it appears as though admins are the only oneswho can upgrade | 16:34 |
| moncky | POPEYE: trash? as in a recycle bin type trash? | 16:34 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, just loaded up the chromium-browser ppa repo,,, nice, have chromium browser, but is it different to the google chrome browser? | 16:34 |
| te_ | porter1: You can always add others to the admin group | 16:35 |
| porter1 | NET||abuse, it's just chrome on windows in WINE | 16:35 |
| sillyCEO | Hey, I can't seem to boot into Bios!!! I'm pretty sure its because some "Boot Accelerator" is tunred on, and it doesn't have enough time to catch the F2. Any ideas? | 16:35 |
| edbian | NET||abuse: It's just a port. Essentially the same software as chrome. | 16:35 |
| POPEYE | ctmjr: I've tried to uninstall it in console but it seems that something is still left | 16:35 |
| Orange_v_Blue | anyone know if there's a google IRC channel? | 16:35 |
| porter1 | te_, heh I would but then there would be other security problems :) | 16:35 |
| edbian | sillyCEO: use a PS/2 keyboard instead of USB. They are recognized quicker. | 16:35 |
| question | pingpong3: In my bin folder I have three firefox scripts, firefox, firefox 3.0, and firefox 3.5 | 16:35 |
| NET||abuse | edbian, porter1, would you run one over the other for any reason? is google's much more stable? any advantage features wise? | 16:35 |
| sillyCEO | edbian: good idea- thax. | 16:36 |
| qe2eqe | Myrtti, I'm going to submit that as a bug. There's no need to spawn 500 processes in 6 seconds just because you accidentally left a key down | 16:36 |
| porter1 | NET||abuse, thwe one you are using is google's. | 16:36 |
| edbian | NET||abuse: I use firefox :) | 16:36 |
| javb | scunizi? | 16:36 |
| porter1 | NET||abuse, google hasn't gotten around to writing a native linux version yet | 16:36 |
| te_ | porter1: sudo crontab -e | 16:36 |
| ctmjr | POPEYE: try this in a terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 16:36 |
| UnderSampled | I burned a DVD of 9.04, but when I boot into it, the only option that works is the memory checker. | 16:37 |
| scunizi | javb: :) | 16:37 |
| NET||abuse | porter1, oh, but the first page that came up when i ran chromium-browser is "this is not googles browser!" | 16:37 |
| porter1 | NET||abuse, which is suprising considereing they use a ubuntu like dist internally | 16:37 |
| homy | when will the package "firefox-3.5" in jaunty be updated to 3.5 final? If I want 3.5 instead of 3.0, can I just install firefox-3.5 via apt to replace the old firefox? | 16:37 |
| metalfan_ | how can i get a fresh /etc/apache2 dir ? | 16:37 |
| porter1 | NET||abuse, hm. I'm not sure which you are running then. Does it haver the same interface as chrome? | 16:37 |
| Myrtti | !ff35 > homy | 16:37 |
| ubottu | homy, please see my private message | 16:37 |
| metalfan_ | homy, yes youre a homy | 16:37 |
| javb | scunizi, weird, did all changes on xorg, did the command xrandr, but none of them made ANY EFFECT | 16:37 |
| javb | Added the modes... | 16:37 |
| te_ | metalfan_: mkdir /etc/apache2 | 16:38 |
| UnderSampled | All other options either showed the blinking '_' cursor, or around a page full of text that I can't copy without paper. Either of these had the capslock and scroll lock lights on my keyboard flash | 16:38 |
| vegombrei | hi how do i install a theme thats tar.bz2? | 16:38 |
| metalfan_ | te_, with the apache2 config files | 16:38 |
| metalfan_ | ofcourse | 16:38 |
| te_ | metalfan_: Not sure I understand our question. | 16:38 |
| NET||abuse | porter1, yes, very much like it so far, not noticing much diff.... what they say exactly is "Chromium is an open source browser project. Google Chrome is a browser from Google, based on the Chromium project." | 16:38 |
| edbian | porter1: NET||abuse: I'm pretty sure it says that because some outside party ported chrome to linux which is chromium. It's like ice-weasel. Ice weasel isn't firefox but it's code is almost identical. | 16:38 |
| homy | Myrtti: thanks, it seems I just haveto be less impatient :) | 16:38 |
| metalfan_ | te_, ive reinstalled it. but no fresh configs | 16:38 |
| homy | metalfan_: what do you mean? | 16:38 |
| scunizi | javb: did you restart "X" ? | 16:38 |
| te_ | metalfan_: What are you actually trying to accomplish? | 16:39 |
| javb | 3 times.. not just X, but the computer | 16:39 |
| metalfan_ | te_, getting the default config files | 16:39 |
| NET||abuse | edbian, i think i heard a while ago that the google did setup a ppa for ubuntu to run chrome on | 16:39 |
| metalfan_ | te_, modified mine and screwed | 16:39 |
| gianfrix | exit | 16:39 |
| vegombrei | jribas: you there? | 16:39 |
| te_ | metalfan_: I guess you could have just deleted the directory before re-installing. | 16:39 |
| UnderSampled | I have installed before with 8.10 on a cd, and I have burned a dvd (same type) or windows 7 beta with the same drive, and both were successful | 16:39 |
| metalfan_ | te_, ive moved it. but reinstalling doesnt create /etc/apache2 | 16:39 |
| scunizi | javb: did you find a way to force xrandr to list the resolution? | 16:40 |
| edbian | NET||abuse: We really shoulda looked it up sooner :) http://code.google.com/chromium/ | 16:41 |
| javb | scunizi, it does show it, but with the opcion "-s" it doesnt work, but with the sintax explained in the link the bot gave, it does bring up any error, nor any effect. | 16:41 |
| === skyred__ is now known as skyred | ||
| metalfan_ | te_, ah it was apache2.2-common | 16:41 |
| jribas | vegombrei: yes | 16:41 |
| alazyworkaholic | http://paste.ubuntu.com/208226/ | 16:42 |

| short__error | does any one know about installing TSP codec?? | 16:42 |
| UnderSampled | If it helps any, Both the md5 check out ok, and IMGBurn verified that it burned correctly | 16:42 |
| NET||abuse | edbian, despite it's slightly light features, it is snappy lil browser, even on linux | 16:43 |
| te_ | metalfan_: dpkg -P apache2.2-common | 16:43 |
| metalfan_ | te_, says that some other packages depend on it | 16:44 |
| scunizi | javb: googling this issue is horrendous.. have you considered a cheap nvidia card? | 16:44 |
| edbian | NET||abuse: I tried it out once. It is quick (especially the java-script). Now if we could just get google to write a flash engine :) | 16:44 |
| metalfan_ | te_, isnt apt intelligent enough to reinstall all that was installed when i did the first time "aptitude install apache2? | 16:44 |
| javb | It's a laptop... | 16:45 |
| NET||abuse | edbian, haha, that'll be news worthy, google faceoff against adobe!!! :P | 16:45 |
| javb | scunizi, its a laptop :( | 16:45 |
| te_ | metalfan_: I guess you could use --force | 16:45 |
| javb | scunizi, i think i ll give it a try to the driver, AGAIN :( | 16:45 |
| metalfan_ | te_, that will fuck up all | 16:45 |
| scunizi | javb: my del had the option of what kind of card.. I believe it was just a snap in vs. hardwired.. | 16:45 |
| jshriver | Greetings | 16:45 |
| jshriver | anyone know what the following error is | 16:45 |
| jshriver | fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server | 16:45 |
| te_ | metalfan_: or --ignore-depends | 16:46 |
| scunizi | javb: check the card type against the driver and the current Xorg system.. there are compatibiliity issues with older cards.. they don't work anymore. | 16:46 |
| javb | scunizi, what about a new driver, from amd? | 16:46 |
| metalfan_ | te_, im not trying to be smater than apt. i want apt to solve the problem | 16:46 |
| carml | jshriver try ctrl+alt+delete if you've trouble with X | 16:46 |

| jshriver | works on some machines but not on others. | 16:46 |
| jshriver | so wondered if it was a video driver problem | 16:46 |
| javb | scunizi, my card is very new, i think, ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility HD 3670 | 16:46 |
| metalfan_ | te_, what did i say? | 16:46 |
| NET||abuse | edbian, one nice thing,, i have google chrom and chromium open at same time. no problem it seems | 16:47 |
| scunizi | javb: the older driver won't work with the new Xorg and the new driver doesn't work with some ati cards.. your card might work.. google HD 3670 ubuntu and see what you get | 16:47 |
| te_ | metalfan_: dpkg -P apache2-common apache2 | 16:47 |
| edbian | NET||abuse: How are you running chrome on linux? I thought the only option was chromium?? | 16:48 |

| mdm | thehumanerror, a disk is the slowest part of the computer. Go look at waitio on top. You took the slowest part and made it even slower making every IO have to go though software encryption. Encryption is for security, not for speed. | 17:17 |

| Ace2017_- | Mike_lifeguard: backup one of the partitions and then delete it and make a new partition | 17:33 |

| mdm | abbazabba, int13 is a low level identifucation for drives. It does things like start them, read their geometry, etc. It is how linux in genneral enumerates drives on a bus. You miscable a drive and it can still be acccessed but not addresses (a very common thing with misusing cable select cables). To make things worse Windows will seem to see the drive fine (because it ignores int13 and jumps direct to 32 bit access). Really I would go look at the drives a | 17:47 |
| mdm | nd see how you cabled and jumpered them. | 17:47 |

| chazco | Hi... does anyone know of an open source alternative to the touchkit drivers? | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | orhan: ,because sometimes you have to remove the actsaul program user data your self, or move it some where if you don't want to just delete | 17:52 |
| orhan | how can i do that | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | orhan: in fact this is a good thing about Linux, it keeps the programs and the program user data seperate, which means if you have a problem, just move or delete the user data normalley, rather than re intall the program | 17:53 |
| sebsebseb | orhan: open the home folder | 17:53 |

Can I burn a cd image to a dvd with growisofs from dvd+rw-tools? In other words, would doing "growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0=/home/joey/dl/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso" do the trick or give me a coaster? | 17:57 |
| orhan | ill give a try | 17:57 |

| p_s | Hello, I can not find any amarok packages in synaptic package manager. Can you please help me, which repositories should I add? | 17:58 |
| te_ | joeym: DVD images are for DVD media and CD images are for DC media. | 17:58 |
| sebsebseb | p_s: synaptic heh easier to use the terminal when you know what you want to install | 17:58 |

| sebsebseb | orhan: in the terminal :) sudo apt-get install kmess | 18:00 |
| joeym | Thanks te_ According to someone on the ubuntu forums is can work (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=424634), but they are using higher level burning apps like k3b. Maybe the program does some sort of conversion. | 18:00 |
| baba_b00ie | edbian, i'm at cli, under /home/.mozilla | 18:00 |
| sebsebseb | orhan: that's a KDE program, so if you have never installed a KDE program before, it's going to want to put on quite a few things | 18:01 |
| te_ | p_s: You probably just need to get the .deb in the version of your choice and install manually. | 18:02 |
| orhan | ok kmess is now installed | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | orhan: ok try that one | 18:02 |

| sebsebseb | orhan: what was that? | 18:31 |
| orhan | i saw i guy he got in vista throught ubuntu | 18:32 |

| sebsebseb | orhan: yes with enough RAM, you can virtual machine Windows | 18:32 |
| orhan | actually using ubuntu and vista | 18:32 |
| elux | Halitech: no they're not stupid if it works. but when designer a new product, i consider the new features of the services available to me and leverage them to make a better product and then monitor stability closely and fix issues as they come.. but in my experiences nothing has been devastating if you have back ups | 18:32 |

| tumii | Mike_lifeguard, thanks | 18:38 |
| mdm | JuJuBee, DMA is not necessary. Its just nice to have so you dont hold up your kernel while sending bits to the printer | 18:39 |

| silidan | is there a way to automatically rebuild the tree /var/cache ? | 18:41 |
| mickster04 | Thingymebob, no luck :( neither plays, still same as before | 18:41 |
| lianimator | in Kino, when I imported a wide screen video, it became squeezed into a 4:3 ratio, how do I change back? | 18:41 |
| mdm | silidan, ???? | 18:42 |
| silidan | yea i was stupid enough to delete all that has been in /var/cache now my system is screwed | 18:43 |
| chetnick | When i add vga option to grub menu.lst, i get a blank screen. I tried vga=791, vga=792, and vga=793. I am guessing that those codes are nots supported by my monitor. What code should i use for 24" wide screen. That is my guess, maybe that is not problem at all. vga=791 works just fine on my laptop. Thanks | 18:43 |
| shuan | Hi everyone | 18:43 |
| mdm | silidan, reboot the system qand crash recover everything that you just wiped out its runing cache. Most thing can recover from that | 18:43 |
| shuan | I would like to know if i can possibly enable ntfs file system as im running a dual boot with vista | 18:44 |
| dgilpin | hey, can't remember who helped me with the pidgin issue | 18:44 |
| dgilpin | thanks | 18:44 |
| silidan | how? | 18:44 |
| dgilpin | it worked | 18:44 |
| Thingymebob | mickster04: I'll be honest, i'm lost here and don't want to sit here blindly telling you to add & remove stuff, The only things that managed to break it for me were restricted extras and open-jre. I would suggest, if there isn't anyone else here who can help a post on the forums. | 18:44 |
| Thingymebob | Can Anyone here shine some light on mickster04's issue with BBC iplayer on eeebuntu | 18:45 |
| silidan | mdm: you mean by running dpkg-reconfigure? | 18:45 |
| shuan | I would like to know if i can possibly enable ntfs file system as im running a dual boot with vista | 18:45 |
| elena09 | Does Ubuntu jaunty have some bug related to HDD? My HDD temperature is pretty high without doing anything and it seems spinning all time, I have a laptop | 18:45 |
| mdm | silidan, /var/cache is a place for programs to store things like state data and running data. Apt put things like its repo cache output there. You can rerun any program and it will recreate them. Sometimes you need to trigger it, with an update, sometimes it will do it on its own. But whatever you wiped out will make the programs unstable, reboot the system | 18:46 |
| mickster04 | Thingymebob, thanks alot anyway! | 18:46 |
| mickster04 | :d | 18:46 |
| shuan | anyone know how i can enable ntfs | 18:46 |

| daviddolphin | is there an off topic ubuntu channel? | 18:52 |
| ABoba | shaun you using jaunty? | 18:52 |

| shuan | yes jaunty | 18:52 |
| tw3akUrb0x | ubuntu-offtopic | 18:52 |
| mdm | silidan, yes reinstall the OS. we call this a learning experience | 18:52 |
| tw3akUrb0x | <<<<<<<< pro at reinstall LOL | 18:52 |
| tw3akUrb0x | defined newb | 18:53 |
| silidan | but its linux its must be fixable without reinstall | 18:53 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, linux can always be fixed without reinstall | 18:53 |
| shuan | ABoba: yes jaunty | 18:53 |
| mdm | silidan, this is multiple programs that you have screwed up its running state and its data. You can fix them, one by one, or you can reinstall the OS and let it do it. Either way do not go deleting /var any more | 18:54 |
| ABoba | shaun check your messages | 18:54 |
| Punisher | #ubuntu-es | 18:54 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, but you have to compare a 1 hour reinstall to 12hr fixing session | 18:54 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, but /home partitions make OS reinstall nothing major | 18:54 |
| silidan | let me guess i will loose all data then? | 18:54 |
| Zzeiss | Yeah. If you've hosed /var, it might be a better use of your time to simply reinstall. Or find a machine you can copy from. | 18:54 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, did you make a /home partition? | 18:54 |
| silidan | i have no /home partition its all in one, sadly | 18:55 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, then you will need to backup prior to reinstalling | 18:55 |
| mdm | silidan, yes you will loose all the data in them, go copy your /home directory and /etc directory somewhere (home is your persoanl files, etc will allow you get get any custom configs back) | 18:55 |
| iaindalton | According to the documentation, "aptitude install gnumeric/karmic" would install the karmic version of gnumeric, even though I'm on a different distro, right? I get "release not found"; do I need to add a line to sources.list or something? | 18:55 |
| mmlj4 | halp! running dpkg-reconfigure locales on my linode fails, and I'm still getting "locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory", when "LANGUAGE = "en_US.utf8"," and friends are indeed set | 18:55 |
| Zzeiss | silidan: Actually, now is an _ideal_ time to upgrade your machine, to put in a bigger disk, etc. | 18:55 |
| Zzeiss | silidan: do you have a spare / larger disk handy? | 18:55 |
| mdm | silidan, co make a tar backup of them, we call this a learning experiance too | 18:55 |

| Thingymebob | mickster04, you still about | 18:56 |
| silidan | a large disk, yes but its full and as second drive in another pc | 18:56 |
| xiong | i dearly wish i had some help with evolution -- online info seems to contradict itself | 18:56 |
| mickster04 | Thingymebob, yeah | 18:57 |
| MK13 | is the nvidia driver's .deb the same for kubuntu & ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| silidan | one question if one recompiles a kernel how much disk space is used at peak during compilation? | 18:57 |
| mdm | silidan, tar and gzip the files in home, store them somwhere else, reinstall the OS (this time making a seperate root and home parition) then reinstal and restore the backup | 18:57 |
| Titan8990_ | MK13, yes | 18:57 |
| MK13 | Titan8990_, can you not install drivers on a persistent usb made by the startup usb creator? | 18:58 |
| Zzeiss | silidan: Well, you might want to think about buying another disk then. If you have no disk to spare, you have no room to play. | 18:58 |
| Thingymebob | mickster04: I think iplayer uses wm for drm so you might need w32codecs or non-free-codecs from the medibuntu repositories | 18:58 |
| Titan8990_ | MK13, wouldn't know | 18:58 |
| mickster04 | aaah | 18:58 |
| dtownhero | can somebody help me install a program using ./configure make etc... ? | 18:58 |
| mickster04 | yeah tat could be | 18:58 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, 796M/usr/src/ | 18:58 |
| xiong | DiskDoubler! | 18:58 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, that sources for 4 kernels | 18:58 |
| Thingymebob | mickster04: worth a shot eh? | 18:59 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, and binaries that have already been compiled | 18:59 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, the actual kernel image is about 2mb | 18:59 |
| silidan | strange i tryed to compile the kernel and it ended up using over 4 GB and running out of space | 18:59 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, you were doing something very wrong | 18:59 |
| mickster04 | Thingymebob, yeah | 18:59 |
| silidan | thats why i needed to delete cache, to get my space back | 18:59 |
| MK13 | what would cause nvidia's driver not to install on a persistent usb install? | 18:59 |
| Titan8990_ | silidan, and ubuntu does not have the best support for custom kernels | 18:59 |
| silidan | all in all ubuntu cost me alot of stress im about to install vista just to say ubuntus fault | 19:00 |
| edbian | silidan: Have fun with that... | 19:00 |
| Zzeiss | silidan: Well, I'd disagree. But nobody can stop you. | 19:00 |
| mickster04 | Thingymebob, will give you a shout when im done | 19:00 |
| silidan | ubuntu cost me 4 days to get the desktop properly running at beginning, and everytime there is an update something screws | 19:01 |
| mdm | silidan, go reinstall, putting about 25G or so as root the rest as home. Pay attention to the size of /usr/src and /var/log. But basicly you can spend multipel hours diagnosing programs, or you can reinstall the OS | 19:01 |
| Thingymebob | mickster04: cool | 19:01 |
| NickWebHA | Something very weird just happened with rsync and it has be pretty worried. I was syncing something from my pen drive (rsync -v --progress -h --stats -r -t --delete ./ /media/windows\ vista/_backup/64gb_usb/) and everything on my pen drive just disapeared half way through. | 19:01 |
| edbian | silidan: If you don't want help with an ubuntu problem than you're in the wrong place bud | 19:01 |
| silidan | ok will consider reinstall | 19:01 |
| NickWebHA | I have a half-completed backup now. | 19:01 |
| Zzeiss | do .fdi files automatically reload or do I need a reboot to make that happen? | 19:01 |
| edbian | NickWebHA: perhaps the pen drive filled up? | 19:02 |
| NickWebHA | Resulting in it wiping the whole thing? | 19:02 |
| silidan | well actually the help was just to say reinstall thats something id expect from a windows forum tough (altough i know i did screw it up that hard) | 19:02 |
| mdm | silidan, those 4 days is why I suggested backing up /etc as well. Things like /etc/asound.conf, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, all of /etc/mail and /etc/samba are there | 19:02 |
| edbian | NickWebHA: Yeah, I know. It should never do that. Just a thought. | 19:02 |
| mdm | silidan, basicly all that "stuff" you configured by hand is there. Everything else (like your gnome settings) are in /home so back that up too | 19:03 |
| silidan | i really regret switching from suse just cause of a memory leak problem... now | 19:03 |
| silidan | kk | 19:03 |
| mdm | silidan, then relay out the OS so you dont have to do this yet again in the future. The more painfull this is the more you will learn | 19:03 |
| NickWebHA | It still says the 50GB is used on the pen drive. I just can not get a file list. | 19:03 |
| Dulak | silidan: it's a time thing, if you knew linux well, it would be a non-issue, but not knowing linux and having hosed the system so thoroughly, reinstalling is gonna be much faster than walking you through fixing everything that is broke | 19:03 |
| silidan | the funny thing is when i start gdm now my mouse and keyboard stop woring... | 19:04 |
| edbian | NickWebHA: 50GB pen drive?!?! | 19:04 |
| NickWebHA | 64GB. | 19:04 |
| NickWebHA | I am only using 50GB on it. | 19:04 |
| silidan | *working | 19:04 |
| Dulak | silidan: same exact situation on a hosed windows box, 6 hours to fix it, 1 hour to reinstall, nobody paying hourly is gonna choose the 6 hour option | 19:04 |
| theunixgeek | "only" ;) | 19:04 |
| NickWebHA | I wish I could get my hands on a 128GB. This 64GB has caused me to compromise on a few things. :-P | 19:04 |
| edbian | NickWebHA: I didn't know they even came that big!! Anyway. Is there a .Trash folder that's filled up with all that junk ?? | 19:04 |
| NickWebHA | Nope. Not a single item in the file list. | 19:05 |
| theunixgeek | NickWebHA: do you not use your hard drive? ;) | 19:05 |
| mdm | NickWebHA, go get a sata drive and external USB enclosure. | 19:05 |
| mickster04 | NickWebHA, are you sure its GB? not Mb? | 19:05 |
| silidan | o the .Trash another nice ubuntu issue, sometimes it ends up in homes trash sometimes in roots sometimes you need root rights to delete it... nice funny thing | 19:05 |
| NickWebHA | Between my 4GB Ubuntu-on-a-stick installation and my pen drive I can move to any PC and have my environment. | 19:05 |
| MK13 | what is the command to clear the trash of a connected usb device w/out unmounting and waiting for the clear trash prompt? | 19:05 |
| edbian | Try perhaps copying something new to the drive. Maybe the drive died in the middle of the transfer. | 19:05 |

| NickWebHA | Be right back. Am going to try rebooting as even thought I pulled the drive out it still sees it and refuses to unmount it. | 19:07 |
| te_ | elena09: More than likely a hardware issue. | 19:07 |
| silidan | elena09: yea i heard of a bug or feature related to harddrives, somthing to do with powermanagement i think | 19:07 |
| edbian | NickWebHA: Very nice drive. I'm sorry but I have no idea why it would blank the whole thing. The rsync command is fine AFAIK. Perhaps just run the command again. Maybe it was a fluke? | 19:08 |
| mdm | uma_, you have to dump the sqllite to sql them import it to mysql. Then you have to change any program that relied on that data to use a new source. There are pleny of websites that show you how to do this | 19:08 |
| elena09 | te_ I have Ubuntu jaUNTY | 19:08 |

I have just purchased a new SATA drive (640GB) and I would like Ubuntu to see it. I've tried the command "sudo lshw -C disk" however it is not listed, which I suppose means it's not seen in the BIOS.

| trohs | Hello everybody, i have a doubt: Why firefox is not auto up | 20:01 |
| lwells | How do I get more involved in Ubuntu? | 20:01 |
| trohs | Hello everybody, i have a doubt: Why firefox is not auto updating to 3.5? | 20:01 |
| rski | !firefox3-5 | 20:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox3-5 | 20:01 |
| lwells | I want to learn and help | 20:01 |
| lstarnes | !ff35 | rski | 20:01 |
| Alex1 | Clarooo. | 20:01 |
| ubottu | rski: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 20:01 |
| rski | lwells: feel free to do what you want :) | 20:01 |
| kromar | how can i get a list of installed packages in console? | 20:01 |
| lwells | rski, but how | 20:02 |
| trohs | ubottu: thanks | 20:02 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 20:02 |
| lwells | I am a NoOb | 20:02 |
| rski | lwells: well what do you want to doo | 20:02 |
| davertron | you can also install firefox3-5 pretty easily manually without mucking up your 3.0 profile | 20:02 |
| lwells | Help with the code somehow | 20:02 |
| smotchkkiss | I personally think unbuntu has a better sound to it. I think it would help people adopt this distro when comparing it to others. Where can I officially submit this suggestion? | 20:02 |
| naiad | ive gone through a lot of articles and it seems in 9.04 ipv6 is compiled into the kernel and people say you to install a different kernel to get around it. either a newer one or one from 8.10 but i cant get online at all as it currently stands | 20:02 |
| rski | lwells: launchpad.net is a good place to start and look around | 20:02 |
| lwells | Look at code try to figure out how to fix problems | 20:03 |
| lwells | ok | 20:03 |
| Spike1506 | Whats the best FTP client for Ubuntu? | 20:03 |
| robin_ | anyone here can help i can get my ubuntu to fullscreen all i get now is a center screen?? | 20:03 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:03 |
| nascentmind | hi. does anybody get part black screen with ati cards? what's the cause of it? | 20:03 |
| lwells | rski, you can participate at launchpad? | 20:03 |
| udettner | hi, i used launchpad app-collect but it pasted the data to the wrong bug. Its in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3d/+bug/75006 instead of https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/75006 how can i change this? | 20:03 |

| robin_ | anyone here can help i can get my ubuntu to fullscreen all i get now is a center screen?? | 20:04 |
| davertron | robin_: sounds like you probably have a non-native resolution set on that monitor | 20:04 |
| smotchkkiss | robin_: i'm trying to get a vote going to change the distro name to "unbuntu." I can help you with your issue if you'll help me. | 20:05 |
| nascentmind | trohs, i get this whenever i open firefox and part of the screen is black.. whenever i minimize maximize will it go away. does this happen to you too? | 20:05 |
| lwells | rski, launchpad is all Ubuntu code? | 20:05 |
| trohs | nascentmind: Because I've tried to install the drivers by myself | 20:05 |
| davertron | smotchkkiss: lol | 20:05 |
| kromar | how can i pause a output in console before it scrolls out of the screen? | 20:05 |
| trohs | nascentmind: No... | 20:05 |
| rski | lwells: in the ubuntu section, yes :) | 20:05 |
| Kangarooo | does somebody knows what is a load cycle? its something with hdd.. so it just works.. so how can it have problems? I just read that there were some mystic load cycle problems what can't find what is load cycle | 20:05 |
| trohs | nascentmind: But I'm almost sure you have a driver problem | 20:05 |
| smotchkkiss | I think it's close enough to the original name that people won't be confused, but more catchy in that more people will adopt this distro compared to others. | 20:05 |

| trohs | nascentmind: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22496 (have you already tried this?) | 20:07 |
| smotchkkiss | davertron: no one truly knows what ubuntu means right now; the meaning was lost in the medieval times. people would think unbuntu is just another mysterious word. | 20:07 |
| kromar | jrib: real console | 20:07 |

| jrib | kromar: why not? | 20:08 |
| MK13 | kromar, you can use 'command > filename' to print out to a file and then look at the file (most of the time) | 20:08 |

| tonii | hehe | 20:08 |
| shuan | Hi | 20:08 |
| smotchkkiss | davertron: it's purely a phonetic improvement. in fact, we could go one step further and call it unbuntun. that way we have the repetitive UN sound three whole times! | 20:08 |
| nascentmind | trohs, yes i have | 20:08 |
| signpost | it's my media drive :D | 20:08 |
| amireldor | MrCraig, check the -L option on ssh man page | 20:09 |
| lstarnes | kromar: you could also try piping through a pager such as less or most | 20:09 |
| jrib | kromar: seems like scroll lock is what you want | 20:09 |
| kromar | jrib: because i installed some crap app for the gpu which messed up my screen and i cant see anything so i try to find that app and remove it | 20:09 |

| tristanmike | barbarella: no, just my personal computer, like I was saying to Mike, I haven't used Windows in years, I (unfortunately) need to now, so I wanted to make sure NTFS support was fine as last time I had Windows and Linux together, NTFS was "use at own risk" kinda thing. | 20:30 |

| dexter_ | jrib, ok so i am booting up and i unplug the windows harddive and then i get the grub menu which has options to boot up into windows or ubuntu but when i click windows it doesn't work because the harddive isn't pluggged in | 20:34 |
| te_ | jrib: He more than likely installed when the MS Windows driver was unplugged. so... | 20:34 |
| barbarella | tristanmike:so you can partition your windows drive as a ntfs partition and write to it from linux | 20:34 |
| om26er1 | help me plz | 20:34 |
| tristanmike | barbarella: right, I understand that, the large files is my concern, so my question is, if I were to share partitions between Windows and Linux, is it safe to use NTFS. The last time I had to use shared partitions, the NTFS write support in Linux was "could corrupt data" | 20:34 |
| jrib | om26er1: I'm pretty sure the "reltime" option does not exist | 20:34 |
| tristanmike | barbarella: so it is perfectly safe to write to NTFS from Linux ? | 20:34 |
| SheevaPlug | Bobby have you gotten the rt2870 working before? | 20:34 |

| jrib | irocksu: yep | 20:49 |
| irocksu | or did something change radically. | 20:49 |
| irocksu | ok | 20:49 |

| edbian | derek6711: You didn't add that? | 21:30 |
| clusty | jg_: you need FLASH | 21:30 |
| TheNewGuy | cool. I assume that if we get something in the repository we can assume it is clean and does not have viruses? | 21:30 |

| clusty | jg_: inside a terminal | 21:31 |
| derek6711 | edbian, could have been put in with an app | 21:31 |
| jg_ | ok | 21:31 |

| jg_ | [sudo] password for jg: | 21:32 |
| jg_ | Reading package lists... Done | 21:32 |
| wolter | te_, i am 100% sure that the problem is caused when update manager locks the system to install the downloaded updates | 21:33 |
| pronoy | !pastebin | jg_ | 21:33 |

| jg_ | can we private message | 21:35 |
| mickster04 | !pm | 21:35 |

| TwoToneSpirit | ramfist: live cd? USB stick? | 21:35 |
| mickster04 | just as a hint | 21:35 |
| ramfist | live cd | 21:35 |
| TheNewGuy | anyone have a suggestion for a good car game? rally? | 21:36 |
| comicinker | TheNewGuy: you decide if you trust a software repository. technically, a repository can blow your system, install viruses and rootkits. so watch out which repositories you add to your system | 21:36 |
| TheNewGuy | OH! | 21:36 |
| TheNewGuy | Really! It thought it was monitored by someone.. or a group. | 21:36 |
| ramfist | I dung thru the formus at their support site, thre seems to be similar problems with 8 but i am running 9.04 | 21:37 |
| ramfist | oh wow, my spelling is terrible | 21:37 |
| pronoy | mickster04 he's on pm wimme...doesn't have his repo enabled anyways...so what bout the flash thing ? any ideas | 21:37 |
| TheNewGuy | Chit man... I need too re think this. | 21:37 |
| mickster04 | pronoy, ermmm...i had just installed the normal nonfree flash an it worked with eeebuntu | 21:37 |
| comicinker | TheNewGuy: well, the default repositories are trustfull | 21:37 |
| pronoy | TheNewGuy dude google for top 25 linux games you'll get one | 21:38 |
| Radtoo | TheNewGuy: Well, there's only so much certainty with any repository / group. even the original authors of software could do something bad, and I'm not sure everything would be caught. | 21:38 |
| TheNewGuy | thats the 4 basic ones. the one that come active in umbuto 9.04. right? | 21:38 |
| pronoy | mickster04 ah eeebuntu don't know bout that...running intrepid here DAMN KERNEL UPDATE !! | 21:38 |
| mickster04 | pronoy ah, what u using (pcwise) | 21:38 |
| TheNewGuy | OK, good to know. I am new to linux... but after a week, I love it. | 21:39 |
| bluef00t | could anyone point me to how to write a shell script that automatically feeds in the password for a command that asks for one. | 21:39 |
| mickster04 | pronoy although desktop edition of 9.04 worked seamlessly on my pc so it mght have somat to do with hardware too | 21:39 |
| edbian | TheNewGuy: It's gets better and better | 21:39 |
| pronoy | mickster04 well on a 2.7 C2D 2 gig ram and 8600gt and onboard sound "and i didn't have problems before the kernel fix" | 21:39 |
| mickster04 | bluef00t, that would nullify all security on ur oc/laptop | 21:39 |
| TheNewGuy | Yea, I can see that in a few years it could go main stream. | 21:40 |
| mickster04 | pronoy ah, no eeebuntu would be pointless for you | 21:40 |
| Cynner | Download new music, films, games and lot of more, check it - http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139730844 | 21:40 |
| pronoy | Pici you around ? | 21:40 |
| bluef00t | mickster04, yes, kind of, but i am annoyed by entering the same command and then root password again and again. Any way around? | 21:40 |
| mickster04 | pronoy i would suggest updating to the new ubuntu as it worked from scratch on my botch-job pc | 21:40 |
| comicinker | TheNewGuy: that's what they said 10 years ago ;) | 21:41 |
| edbian | bluef00t: In the GUI you can have it save the password for the session | 21:41 |
| pronoy | mickster04 well too many bugs on jaunty i am waiting for karmic .. | 21:41 |
| Radtoo | bluef00t: one simple trick to keep a root shell open is to run screen first. | 21:41 |
| x4mer | hi, all | 21:41 |
| mickster04 | bluef00t, if your using terminal it should keep the sudo for about 15mins no? | 21:41 |
| cicada | Hi | 21:41 |
| pronoy | TheNewGuy: mainstream ? | 21:41 |
| red-lichtie | One thing that gets on my nerves regarding Ubuntu is that after a kernel update I am forced to 1) reinstall NVIDIA driver (NVIDIA-blabla.run), reinstall omnibook module & download/recompile the kernel just to get my MemoryStick support to work again. Any ideas on how to get this to happen automatically when there is a kernel update ? | 21:41 |
| mickster04 | pronoy, bugs? i havent had one yet? | 21:41 |
| pisecx | !ff3.5 | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY | 21:41 |
| pisecx | =( | 21:41 |
| pronoy | mickster04 were you around when it launched ? | 21:41 |
| mickster04 | pronoy ah no | 21:42 |
| te_ | red-lichtie: Get everything from the package-manager. | 21:42 |
| root | hello everyone | 21:42 |
| pronoy | pisecx what is this deal with ff3.5 anyways ? why the hype ? | 21:42 |
| mickster04 | ]hi root | 21:42 |
| === root is now known as Guest96894 | ||
| TheNewGuy | LOL.... yea.. things more slowly. the push has been to get the major features working, the detailed ease of use and integration really take a lot of programing to get very very smooth... so smooth that grandma can use it. That is going to take some time. | 21:42 |
| mickster04 | pronoy on windoze it is blitz fast in comparison | 21:42 |
| red-lichtie | te_ if I only knew the locations to add I would | 21:42 |
| te_ | red-lichtie: and / or use open source | 21:42 |
| pronoy | mickster04 you should have seen the shit we were sailing in ...every new dude came in and yelped for help | 21:42 |
| pronoy | mickster04 watch this | 21:42 |
| mickster04 | pronoy lol | 21:42 |
| bluef00t | yes...but i want to automate the whole thing..cause my internet goes down again and again and i need to do sudo pon provider after 20 mins. I just want to automate this. | 21:42 |
| Radtoo | red-lichtie: yes, thats the pain with external modules. allmost everyone has to. but the memorystick I can't understand, it should be supported by the kernel itself, no? | 21:42 |
| cicada | I'm having trouble running the demo for X2 on Jaunty that I downloaded here: http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/info.php?id=23& | 21:43 |
| x4mer | i have a question and i haven't found the answer on google: are iso images from ubuntu testing page updated dayly or only on milestones such as alpha2/3/beta/rc ? | 21:43 |
| pronoy | HEY GUYS WINDOWS SUCKS RIGHT ? people who agree say aye ! | 21:43 |
| cicada | aye | 21:43 |
| mickster04 | aye | 21:43 |
| te_ | !nvidia | red-lichtie | 21:43 |
| ubottu | red-lichtie: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:43 |
| red-lichtie | te_: omnibook IS opensource + MemoryStick is simply no compiled as a module in the Ubuntu releases :/ | 21:43 |
| TheNewGuy | wow, I just read what I wrote... Honest, I am not drunk. | 21:43 |
| bluef00t | aye | 21:43 |
| bluef00t | mickster04, yes...but i want to automate the whole thing..cause my internet goes down again and again and i need to do sudo pon provider after 20 mins. I just want to automate this. | 21:43 |
| TheNewGuy | eye.... I poked my eye using windows. | 21:43 |
| Radtoo | x4mer: snapshots. the thing thats updated more frequently is the repository of installable packages. | 21:43 |
| pronoy | mickster04 see and if an op were around you'd find a !ot with my name on it | 21:44 |
| mickster04 | i was about to:P | 21:44 |

| pronoy | mickster04 haaww ! betrayel | 21:45 |
| te_ | TheNewGuy: I might agree with you if what you are saying that being restricted to MS would be similar to getting poked in they eye with a sharp stick. :) | 21:45 |
| threethirty | /wc | 21:45 |

| coleys | !question | jg | 21:47 |

| mickster04 | cicada pardon? | 21:47 |
| TheNewGuy | Radtoo, what is IDE? | 21:47 |
| Radtoo | TheNewGuy: you can use specialized editors like code::blocks, multipurpose ide like anjuta / kdevelop / eclipse / netbeans, or even text editors like vim or emacs (they can do a lot for you) | 21:47 |
| pronoy | yo ! i thought you went away | 21:47 |
| bucky | cicada: #debian | 21:47 |

| pronoy | yo ! i thought you went away jg | 21:47 |
| coleys | jg: someone else might be having the same problem. | 21:47 |
| Radtoo | TheNewGuy: integrated development environment | 21:47 |
| red-lichtie | Add to that the fact that my BT won't work without the omnibook module, makes every kernel update nightmare | 21:47 |

| ZykoticK9 | red-lichtie, i was researching your kernel modules problem (i initially though I remembered an application that would automatically rebuild external modules - but I can't find it, so I guess i remember incorrectly), I haven't found a solution yet that i feel comfortable implementing but this person did some work re-nvidia drivers, and i imagine it could be modified to suite (personally i'm don't like it much) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p | 21:52 |

| Radtoo | TimX4209: You could always try to deploy a recent .30 or even 31 rc kernel on your own and see if that helps. Its not easy on some distros tho. Also, why not just use ubnutu if it works? | 21:56 |

I get this error: Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 22:00 |
| cicada | ... This makes me think that a library file is missing. However, I checked synaptec package manager and the libcanberra-gtk package was installed. The only thing I found for glibc in synaptec listed was glibc source and docs.. That's why I'm asking if glibc comes with ubuntu.. I guess what I want to know is if there is anything I need to do -- like compile source -- so that it can be seen by programs that need it.. | 22:00 |

| mysticdarkhack | mickster04, yeah and I even --purge autoremove and reinstalling vlc again, but same resault. | 22:00 |
| mickster04 | mysticdarkhack, what are you doing and what is the error | 22:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | BCM43, "du -h" for human readable might be of interest. | 22:00 |
| Radtoo | BCM43: du -hs is useful if you don't want to read bytes and individual files | 22:00 |
| cicada | mickster: that's for you too :-D | 22:00 |

| edbian | comicinker: I worked it out with him in a PM. I told him to ctrl + alt + left click though. I don't know where the confusion came form. | 22:03 |
| cicada | raylu: well, I'm not a C programmer..I took a class in C, but I'm not a hacker..yet anyhow.. Still, I'm not sure, but I thought there are two main libraries that are used for writing in C on linux systems: glibc and libc. My thinking is that maybe Ubuntu uses libc, where the games requires glibc. I'm out of my element here.. | 22:03 |

| Radtoo | Gino: depends on how you handle mail, to begin with. | 22:21 |
| raylu | Gino: how do you have your mail stored? | 22:21 |
| Jimmio | bandrews: I have that too. It's called X-Contrast and it's on your monitor, not ubuntu | 22:21 |
| raylu | bucky: not interested in reconfiguring... just wondering what i'm using | 22:21 |
| kromar | why does blender not get updated in the package manager? | 22:21 |

| Radtoo | Gino: if you use some normal graphical email client, I guess its just like you were storing files on your hard disk drive. no clients I know of have anywhere near the degressive behviour of outlook that leads people to believe there's "too much" email, so its bacially like handling files, constrained by drive space. | 22:22 |

| cactusfrog | i need help with grub | 22:42 |
| pronoy | mickster04 hey all done with jg | 22:42 |
| lesshaste | raylu: ok I am confused .. nvidia-common owns /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common apparently.. but nvidia-common is not installed | 22:42 |
| bandyo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/208542/ | 22:42 |
| === TAZMANIA is now known as Pulga | ||
| cactusfrog | i need to reinstall it because evertime i try to install it i get error 17 | 22:42 |
| slovenian | my problem is that i can't merge those two partitions | 22:42 |
| mickster04 | pronoy well done | 22:42 |
| pronoy | mickster04 he's a 12 year old !! hahaha | 22:42 |
| derenrich | HAHA | 22:43 |
| mickster04 | pronoy ah makes sense | 22:43 |
| cactusfrog | and when i try to boot up with my windows harddive attached to my computer i get another number error like error 21 or somethign | 22:43 |
| raylu | lesshaste: strange. consider dpkg -r nvidia-common | 22:43 |
| Radtoo | zimbres: ah. you know, with all the different hardware being offered all the time, this is almost impossible to do. the opposite approach as well, as the list of supported hardware is very long | 22:43 |
| cactusfrog | how can i fix this | 22:43 |
| raylu | lesshaste: also, i've got to go now | 22:43 |
| Myrtti | lwells: with a live disk of ubuntu (or gparted) | 22:43 |
| cactusfrog | i tried booting up with the live disk | 22:43 |
| UbNoob | bandrews: It copied...but still didn't work. I appreciate your help though. Would uninstalling then reinstalling firefox do anything to fix it maybe? | 22:43 |
| j0nr | evening, can anyone help me with the correct syntax for rdiff-backup, remote source to local dir, using a NON-standard port please? I know I should be using --remote-schema, but can't quite get it right | 22:43 |
| lesshaste | raylu: Ah I needed purge | 22:44 |
| lwells | Ahh ok, that is what I am going to be doing , installing Karmic, Myrtti | 22:44 |
| cactusfrog | but i follow the steps and just get error | 22:44 |
| pjm90041 | micskter04: I'm working on a different machine than the one that won't boot Windows. I think the line you mean read "rootnoverify (hd0,1)" | 22:44 |
| bobesponja | hi | 22:44 |
| cactusfrog | hi | 22:44 |
| Radtoo | zimbres: I think you best either go into a shop and ask them whether they would let you run a live dvd with linux to see if things work, or get the specs of candidate machines and at least check whether the wlan card, graphics card, peripherials and special devices (say, fingerprint reader, camera, ...) are listed as supported on the net. | 22:44 |
| cactusfrog | anyone know how to fix the error i have | 22:44 |
| bobesponja | I get internet from my wireless wlan0 and I would like to forward it to eth0 which is connected to another laptop. | 22:45 |
| mickster04 | pjm90041, well i'd like to see it all:/ nm i dont have my dual boot here eiterh | 22:45 |
| buttons840 | I'm using screen. How can I run a command with arguments? I try typing "screen asterisk -vvvr" but screen thinks the -vvvr arg belongs to it, but it should be passed to asterisk | 22:45 |
| bobesponja | how do I forward wlan0 to eth0? | 22:45 |
| cactusfrog | evertime i boot up my computer with the windows harddive plugged in grub wont load | 22:45 |
| cactusfrog | so i was told to reinstall it but i can't do that | 22:45 |
| lesshaste | raylu: heh.. purge was the solution it seems! | 22:45 |
| cactusfrog | because i get another errror | 22:45 |
| pjm90041 | micjster04: I chnaged it to "rootnoverify (hd1,) and then added two "map" lines after that, one reading "map (hd1) (hd0)" and the other "map (hd0) (hd1)" | 22:45 |
| slovenian | raylu: ok: I'm preparing partitions for further work. I have disk with 3 partitions. sda1, sda2 (which includes sda5), and unallocated partition. I want to merge sda1 and unallocated space to make partition bigger and to install. sda 2 (or sda5) contains important data. | 22:46 |

| Radtoo | zimbres: Ah, nice. Well, I can report that I assembled a variety of machines myself and didn't have any significant problems with these. Two things that most frequently were a bit of a pain after doing this check for support were certain ACPI modes and AHCI on some mainboards, and ati's graphic cards with certain kernel versions. Other than that, it always worked out just as expected by what I figured from doing web site searches. | 22:50 |

| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: the thing to rember is that with grub. if you add/remove drives that may 'reorder' the layout of the drives thus messing up the drive names from the menu.lst (id sda1 became sdb1 and so on) also rember grub starts counting at ZERO. and does not use the same drive names as 'linux' You can 'install' grub to the mbr of a hard drive using the 'grub-install' command or other ways. | 22:51 |

| cactusfrog | so here is what i have done so far. First i have installed ubuntu on my secondary harddive. THen when i boot up i get an a message that says error 17 or something so i tried unplugging my linux harddive but that didn't fix anything. then i changed my windows harddive to slave and my ubuntu harddive to master but still received the same error. Then i unplugged my windows harddive so only the ubuntu harddive was connected to my c | 22:54 |
| ralf_1985 | yeah i knew it | 22:54 |

| mickster04 | pjm90041, try 'em out | 22:56 |
| mickster04 | slovenian, what do u wanna do | 22:56 |
| ward- | i do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xen-desktop , then i reboot and i choose the -server kernel from my grub list... | 22:56 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: these are all IDE drives? | 22:56 |
| ward- | then ubuntu does not boot | 22:56 |
| ward- | because it doesnt have the nvidia driver in the server kernel... | 22:57 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: ihave no idea what that means | 22:57 |
| pjm90041 | mickster04: it was jusr a link to some web sites that give information about Grub - it's of no use to me. I don't think it's Grub that's the problem - it's somethign that's preventing Windows from starting up once Grub tells it to start... | 22:57 |
| mickster04 | pjm90041, well that the windows partition then, if grub is working, | 22:57 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: what do i have to do to get the grub to load when my windows harddive is plugged in? | 22:57 |
| mickster04 | ? | 22:57 |
| the_dark_warrio | is it possible to install the new themes that come with Jaunty on Intrepid? | 22:57 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: ide drives.. vs sata - the different kind of connectors.. | 22:57 |
| slovenian | mickster04: i have 2 partitions which can't be merged or resized to one. | 22:57 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: install grub to the windows hard drive. Or tell teh bios to boot the OTHER hard drive. | 22:57 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: telling the bios may be the easier trick. | 22:58 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: sata | 22:58 |
| pjm90041 | mickster04: Hmmm. What do you suggest, then? | 22:58 |
| PapaChub | Does anybody know of an NFS server that supports "map_static" in /etc/exports? | 22:58 |
| mickster04 | slovenian you ll have to keep asking .... | 22:58 |
| Jagjr12345678 | anyone? | 22:58 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: wait if they both are connected the same then they are both the same harddive right? | 22:58 |
| slovenian | mickster04: this means you can't help me? | 22:59 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: because i know one is a SATA hardive says so on the box | 22:59 |
| PapaChub | nfs-kernel-server complains about "unknown keyword" and unfsd just says "syntax error" :-( | 22:59 |
| mickster04 | pjm90041, iunno..sounds like windows is kinda dead, or your grub set up is wrong | 22:59 |
| mickster04 | slovenian, yeah | 22:59 |
| Jagjr12345678 | nvm i fixed it | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: sata drives dont do master/slave - - if both drives are connected at the same time.. You got one that will be sda, and one that is sdb, or in grub terms (hd0) and (hd1) | 22:59 |
| mickster04 | slovenian, i wouldnt have thought it's possible...but it must be | 22:59 |
| pjm90041 | mickster04: Okay. Thanks anyway. | 23:00 |
| hugodor | does anyone here know assembly? | 23:00 |
| slovenian | mickster04: structure looks like this: sda1 - sda2 - unallocated space. i want to merge sda1 and unallocated space | 23:00 |
| lcabrini | hugodor: on which arch? | 23:00 |
| pronoy | hugodor a bit ... | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: normally when installing linux. I plug in one sata drive.. insttall linux, let it put grub on that hard drive.. THEn i plug in the windows hd.. and tell the bios to boot the proper hard drive.. if i want windows. i tell bios to boot the other HD. | 23:00 |
| hugodor | x86 | 23:00 |
| laymansnerd | i think i screwed up royally here.... | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: or you can set up grub to boot the windows hard drive also. | 23:00 |
| mickster04 | slovenian, try removing the sda and using all unallocated for one new drive | 23:01 |
| ward- | i do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xen-desktop , then i reboot and i choose the -server kernel from my grub list... | 23:01 |
| ward- | then ubuntu does not boot | 23:01 |
| andruk | does anybody know if this will work on linux: http://www.alesis.com/usbprodrumkit ? | 23:01 |
| ward- | because it doesnt have the nvidia driver in the server kernel... | 23:01 |
| lcabrini | hugodor: no, but if you need me to do something on a vic-20.. :) | 23:01 |
| ward- | any ideas? | 23:01 |
| FloodBot2 | ward-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:01 |
| laymansnerd | i installed another drive in my case and now all of my drives are out of whack and i can't even access my new ext4 drive | 23:01 |
| SerenityKill3r | wow fx3.5 is fast as all hell | 23:01 |
| ward- | what was i thinking asking in here | 23:01 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: ok thanks so when i boot up on only my windows harddive grub gives me an option for windows so if i specify in bios to boot up on the linux harddive everything should work | 23:01 |
| ThJ | I have some manual config lines in xorg.conf for an evtouch-driver based touchscreen, and when I unplug the screen from USB, the calibration info isn't loaded. It seems that hotplug doesn't care about my config lines. How can I make it care? | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | laymansnerd: they problery all shifted down a drive letter.. this is why mounting with 'uuid' type naming - is so handy. | 23:02 |
| mickster04 | ward-, patience | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: if you boot the linux drive.. it will need grub on it also... | 23:02 |
| mickster04 | SerenityKill3r, true, is it ot yet | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: thers several ways you can set this up.. Grub on windows drive. bootung either os. is a common way to set it up. | 23:02 |
| slovenian | mickster04: it doesn't work, i can get old size as the maximum. do you maybe know, why i have exclamation mark near the partition? | 23:02 |
| ward- | mickster04, i'll probably find a solution to this crappy bug myself | 23:02 |
| mickster04 | slovenian, nope :/ | 23:02 |
| SerenityKill3r | yeah it is mickster | 23:03 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: i already have grub on linux so can i just boot up on that | 23:03 |
| mickster04 | ward-, yeah probly, certainly | 23:03 |
| mickster04 | ward-, yeah probly, certainly try * | 23:03 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: or do i have to configuer grub for windows too. | 23:03 |
| laymansnerd | ok i got rid of the old associations from my fstab i'm gonna try to reboot...cause i had my two NTFS drives mounting at boot | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: if you want grub to boot windows.. it will need a windows entry in its menu.lst | 23:03 |
| ward- | mickster04, just frustrating thats all, it NEVER EVER just works | 23:03 |
| mickster04 | SerenityKill3r, ubuunutu? | 23:03 |
| slovenian | bye all | 23:03 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: it already has that | 23:03 |
| SerenityKill3r | yeah | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bios --> (grub)(on either hard drive) -> reads menu.lst -> shows menu. | 23:03 |

| ward- | i've been using debian since ubuntu 7.10 | 23:06 |

| ward- | thought 9.04 would be nice since i heard so much good about it but i keep finding new bugs every minute :s thanx anyway | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Rubin: i convert to divx.xvid all the time with mencoder/menplayer/winff/avidumes | 23:06 |
| Rubin | i guess i dont really understand the relationship between divx and xvid | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: time to learn some fundamentals on how linux and grub 'organize' disks | 23:07 |

| lenswipe | hey guys, how do i download a text file with wget and then have wget change the extention on the text file to something other than .txt | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: you install grub to a drive you boot.. the proper menu.lst entry will then boot whatever.. thers no 'reinstall grub for windows' -> you 'install grub' :) | 23:08 |
| lenswipe | how do i download a text file with wget and then have wget change the extention on the text file to something other than .txt | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Rubin: from what i recall (been a while since i read it) both are just mpeg4 with some extras | 23:08 |

| Dr_Willis | cactusfrog: you tell the bios to boot what hard drive you want.. if you want a grub menu. You tell the bios to boot the hard drive that has grub installed to it.. Install grub to the linux drive (if its not allready installed there) | 23:10 |
| cactusfrog | Dr_Willis: thanks all try that | 23:11 |
| laymansnerd | how do i change the permissions on a drive | 23:11 |
| laymansnerd | ? | 23:11 |
| laymansnerd | got my previous problem fixed | 23:11 |
| * Dr_Willis cant wait for the vast confusions/chaos thats going to come about when we all start ussing Grub2 :) | 23:11 | |
| Dr_Willis | laymansnerd: depends on the filesystem/files | 23:11 |

| laymansnerd | ext4 | 23:11 |
| Radtoo | laymansnerd: chmod or perhaps you need to use mount options | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | laymansnerd: then you use chown/chmod as you would any other linux file/filesystem | 23:12 |
| laymansnerd | chmod 774? | 23:12 |
| Radtoo | laymansnerd: ah ignore the latter part for ext4. use chmod/chown. | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | laymansnerd: depends on the details.. you can chante the permossions on teh mounted filesystem (after its mounted) if you wanted. | 23:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, remember we did transition from lilo to grub successfully (prior to Ubuntu probably) | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | laymansnerd: but thats NOt going to change the permissions for every file on the drive.. (unless you specifically change them) | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: i recall the chaos about that also. :) | 23:13 |
| laymansnerd | there's nothing on the drive | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | laymansnerd: then chown/chmod the mountpoint - AFTER the drive is mounted.. that chowns/chmodes the 'root' of the drive | 23:13 |
| laymansnerd | i want to transfer some files from an ntfs to this ext4 so i can format my 1tb to ext4 | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | laymansnerd: or make a directory ON the drive.. and chown/chmod that. | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | which is a little 'neater' arangement | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | laymansnerd, i presume you can mount both? | 23:14 |
| laymansnerd | oh yes | 23:14 |
| Radtoo | q: Is there any application that can find duplicate files (exact match) for ubuntu, perhaps even one that can even look into archives like .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 for this purpose? | 23:15 |
| mgolisch | fdupes? | 23:17 |
| mgolisch | Radtoo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdupes this also list other candidates | 23:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | Radtoo, kleansweep (available in repo) is a pretty powerful duplicate finder, not sure if it can look inside .gz or .bz2 files but give it a look. good luck. | 23:17 |
| mgolisch | hope that helps | 23:17 |

| Radtoo | mgolisch, ZykoticK9: yes, that helps. Thanks! | 23:20 |
| cocoa117 | PapaChub, what do we do if we want to create nested group? using ACL? | 23:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | cocoa117, not really a great idea to be directly editing that file if you don't know what you're doing. there are commands for adding users/groups to the system (sorry off the top of my head can't remember them) | 23:21 |

| PapaChub | groupadd/useradd *create* new groups & users. I've only ever used "vigr" to "vi /etc/group" | 23:22 |
| u_dparte | cocoa117, yes ... check the man pages for exact syntax your needing | 23:23 |
| andruk | \\`oot: what have you tried, and how familiar are you with samba? | 23:23 |
| u_dparte | cocoa117, add groups and add access rights to those groups, then add users to those groups as needed | 23:23 |

| Radtoo | doink1212: unless you actually mean pcsx2, I agree with ZykoticK9. | 23:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | doink1212, you can configure the keyboard input in the options menu i'm sure. try just starting the emulator and see if you can find the input configuration | 23:30 |

| doink1212 | pSX will not load its bios file, which i put in its folder | 23:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | doink1212, re psx and epsxe you don't really install them, if you download the tar files just extract them, cd into the directory and directly run the executable (sometime in subdirectories like "bin"). | 23:33 |

| Radtoo | doink1212: On the other hand, well, missing libraries like the libCg.so must matter. But I didn't have this issue in particular, possibly since I built pcsx2 from source (and even some plugins). | 23:43 |

| steinomite | bc: yes | 23:44 |
| savage1 | the line is: deb http://repos.groupoffice.eu/ main/ | 23:44 |

| savage1 | when I try to install the software after having run apt-get update, it says 'some of the packages cannot be found' | 23:45 |
| doink1212 | radtoo: there currently is no package for pcsx2, i downloaded and extracted it... I have the original zip as well | 23:45 |
| savage1 | and it's the packages that are fromt he respo... | 23:45 |
| steinomite | bc: ok. is there any reason why i might not want to disable it? | 23:45 |
| Radtoo | doink1212: the latter would at least require you to manually ensure dependencies are met. I recall they listed what pcsx2 needed on the homepage or maybe their forums. | 23:45 |
| bc | steinomite: I checked, yes it does -> "The b option controls bell volume, pitch and duration. " | 23:45 |
| doink1212 | cd | 23:45 |

| Guest2816 | how do i do this | 23:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | \\`oot, if you mount the SMB shares from /etc/fstab for example you can simply have programs reference where you mount them too and the program will never have to know it's an SMB share, it will only be on the file system. Good luck. | 23:50 |
| \\`oot | ZykoticK9: Thanks... appreciate it | 23:50 |
| riotkittie | soulwarp: what happens if you sudo apt-get install --reinstall miro ? probably won't work. i know i've had the same problem with another package in the past, but for the life of me... can't remember what was required to fix it. sorry. | 23:51 |
| Radtoo | doink1212: from a quick look, that seems better than the instructions I used, although I guess it links to the same instructions for the (possibly) tricky compilation as well. | 23:51 |
| doink1212 | radtoo: these instructions aren't exactly clear, | 23:52 |
| daishadar | how do i prevent a package from being updated? | 23:52 |
| soulwarp | riotkittie: I've tried that too, http://paste.debian.net/40863, thanks anyway | 23:52 |
| savage1 | zy: when I drop that last / it says I have a malformed line when I run apt-get update | 23:52 |

| apoc_ | What's the deal with all these option windows where changes have effect immediately and there is no Ok/Cancel? | 23:53 |
| Guest2816 | someone please help me | 23:53 |
| Guest2816 | i need to remove a program | 23:53 |
| Guest2816 | and its registry | 23:53 |
| mdg | Guest2816: what program? | 23:53 |
| bucky | Guest2816: dpkg --purge <packagename> | 23:54 |
| Guest2816 | dekoron | 23:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | beliveyourdream, the next time it happens, try restarting pulse audio, then restart alsa (or vice-verca). Good luck. | 23:54 |
| VCoolio | beliveyourdream: you can check if pulseaudio took over (I had that when I switched to alsa); run "ps aux | grep pulse" to see if that is the case and if so, kill it and disable pulseaudio for good. Other than that I can't help | 23:54 |
| bucky | Guest2816: did you install it as a deb file? | 23:54 |
| mdg | Guest2816: dpkg --purge dekoron | 23:54 |
| Tamnakz | anyone here know the term 'an ID is a terrible thing to waste" and if so can you please enlighten me? | 23:55 |
| Guest2816 | a deb file? | 23:55 |
| beliveyourdream | i do have pulseaudio started ... how do i disable it for good ? | 23:55 |
| bucky | Guest2816: that's what package managers are for | 23:55 |
| Guest2816 | it jpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove kwin-style-dekorator which isn't installed. | 23:55 |
| VCoolio | beliveyourdream: I don't remember, I followed some howto on the net | 23:55 |
| Guest2816 | yea but it doesnt remove the whole registry | 23:56 |
| Guest2816 | because when i try to intall a fresh new one it doesnt show menue | 23:56 |
| Cosmo1 | I am having a problem my keyboard layout keeps changing from dvorak back to qwerty even though I have removed the qwerty layout and it seems at random times it goes back to qwerty and I have to run setxkbmap dvorak in a launcher. How do I fix this so that it stays dvorak? I dont know if this is related but I did notice that in my xorg.conf most of it is commented out "due to hal" | 23:56 |
| bucky | Guest2816: i can't find it in my repos so why don't you make it easy for us and tell us where you got it | 23:56 |
| postscript | Tamnakz: You know what an ID is, right? | 23:56 |
| Radtoo | doink1212: Hm. Well, I don't have anything better to offer. It was easy enough for me. | 23:56 |
| doink1212 | radtoo: the instructions are for debian | 23:56 |
| dexter | aftter installing ubuntu everytime i try to boot up in windows i get an error | 23:56 |
| Guest2816 | oh i got it from doing apt-get install kwin | 23:56 |
| doink1212 | i am only familiar with ubuntu commands | 23:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | Tamnakz, this is OT but i'm sure it refers to Process ID's and at one time killing one off would have been a MUCH bigger deal then today. I stress "ONLY A GUESS" | 23:57 |

| doink1212 | never mind i need to install subversion | 23:57 |
| mdg | Cosmo1: out of curiosity, does it happen in a certain program or just any time? | 23:58 |
| Radtoo | doink1212: ubuntu is sorta debian-based, many to most things are exactly the same. | 23:58 |
| SerenityKill3r | Ubuntu IS Debian based | 23:58 |
| bucky | Guest2816: sudo dpkg --purge kwin-style-dekorator | 23:58 |
| Tamnakz | Do you know who might have SAID it? | 23:58 |
