| _matt | cernenus, did you try fedora or another distro to see if it's just ubuntu? | 00:00 |
| cernenus | _matt, anything like this ever happen to you? | 00:00 |
| TomR | hi | 00:00 |
| racecar56 | jessemilette: btw this is a command line install with the gnome package | 00:00 |
| rickest | ARMENIAN: probably have to 'nohup' it or run the second server in a 'screen' session | 00:00 |
| racecar56 | jessemilette: i also have kubuntu-desktop | 00:00 |
| TomR | i'm having troubles with wubi | 00:00 |
| _matt | cernenus, with PC-BSD it happened to me a couple times | 00:00 |
| racecar56 | jessemilette: i mainly use kde | 00:00 |
| ARMENIAN | rickest: ohh ok, got u, this is pretty cool though i can run multiple desktop enviroments or just like probably even vnc into a windows machine right? | 00:00 |
| racecar56 | jessemilette: yes, 4 and i like it :o | 00:00 |
| Guest98619 | hey guys im running ubuntu jaunty on my toshiba satellite pro a120.. but it won't reconize my gfx drivers.. which is onboard.. what do i do? | 00:00 |
| racecar56 | jessemilette: in the past i didn't | 00:01 |
| cernenus | _matt, it is pclos works fine only debian, gnome distros do it | 00:01 |
| NemesisD | anyone? i've got no audio and get this in syslog pulseaudio[4276]: module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy | 00:01 |
| rickest | ARMENIAN: yes. only difference is VNC on linux will be another desktop altogether, not the same one you see when you're sitting there as is the case w/ Windows | 00:01 |
| TomR | umm can someone help me with wubi? | 00:01 |
| TomR | it won't install correctly | 00:01 |
| jessemilette | racecar56, did you delete all the hidden files in your home partition before you reinstalled? Thats the only thing I can think of. | 00:01 |
| racecar56 | jessemilette: no, i would have lost my data D: | 00:01 |
| _matt | cernenus, if it's only gnome distros that do it, why dont you use kubuntu or xubuntu? | 00:02 |
| rickest | ARMENIAN: iow, VNC is really another x-server just like what we just did with startxfce4, except you can't ctrl-f8 to it, you would have to use vncclient to see it, even from the same machine! | 00:02 |
| jessemilette | racecar56, no just the hidden ones begining with . | 00:02 |

| ubottu | _matt: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 00:03 |
| cernenus | _matt, for some reason kubuntu download fails every time. | 00:03 |
| ARMENIAN | rickest: yeah | 00:03 |
| racecar56 | ack why does network manager say my device isn't managed | 00:03 |
| _matt | Pici, my bad | 00:03 |
| jessemilette | racecar56, alright, that could be it, beyond that, I can help anymore | 00:03 |
| jessemilette | racecar56 *cant | 00:03 |
| rickest | ARMENIAN: when in log in to a Windows box running VNC server, you see the same thing as the guy sitting there would see. you share that desktop. not true w/ linux. the vnc server is in no way related to the server that the guy sitting in front of the box sees | 00:03 |
| _matt | cernenus, have you tried different mirrors? | 00:03 |
| Guest38885 | _matt, please i tried googling it.. didn't help me | 00:03 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:04 |

| racecar56 | i thought network-manager was supposed to 'just work' | 00:11 |
| racecar56 | yeah right | 00:11 |
| jessemilette | SeaPhor thanks | 00:11 |
| Pici | SeaPhor, jessemilette: The proper channel is #freenode | 00:11 |

| donavan_ | d0htem that are you wanting to know exactly | 00:14 |
| Dulak | racecar56: did you setup the interface in /etc/network/interfaces? | 00:14 |
| racecar56 | Dulak: probably not | 00:14 |
| === jessemilette is now known as nerdy_kid | ||
| racecar56 | Dulak: it DOES have things about eth0 though | 00:14 |
| Dulak | racecar56: that's the opposite of what I expected, network manager only manages interfaces that aren't listed in /etc/network/interfaces | 00:15 |
| nerdy_kid | does anyone know how to patch kernels??? | 00:15 |
| racecar56 | Dulak: k | 00:15 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, yes, good luck | 00:15 |
| racecar56 | Dulak: hmm it still dosen't work | 00:16 |
| gogeta | donavan_: or you can use the vesa driver | 00:16 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, its not worth the time whatsoever unless you a A) a kernel dev B) have to have a realtime kernel | 00:16 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, otherwise you should only compile stable kernel releases | 00:16 |
| Dulak | racecar56: you need to restart networking at least if you change it, might even take a full reboot | 00:16 |
| nerdy_kid | Titan8990: I need to patch how? I downloaded the source, patched that, but now i cant create the initrd image | 00:16 |
| JoeKerr | can i use ubuntu as a server to host windows xp's? | 00:17 |
| ARMENIAN | does anyone know if i can start another x server and vnc into a windows machine? | 00:17 |
| donavan_ | gogeta thats what I was thinking if used the vesa then i could just reinstall ati packages and maybe that would fix it ... it seems like the resolution is set way to high for my monitor but being that i cant see to change it, it makes for an interesting problem | 00:17 |
| ARMENIAN | JoeKerr: wat do u mean host windows xps? | 00:18 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, you don't need initrd if you configured it properly | 00:18 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, i have actually never made an initrd | 00:18 |
| gogeta | donavan_: you can use dpkg reconfigure | 00:18 |
| donavan_ | gogeta ok xinit just gave me the same problem I get when I boot up | 00:18 |
| PhantomSV | anyone having issues burning dvd isos in ubuntu 9.04? | 00:19 |

| Zorael^2 | When I have modified sources of something I downloaded from git, and I can see the changes with git diff, how do I get it to produce diff files that patch can use? | 00:20 |

| Titan8990 | gogeta, thats not right.... /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:21 |
| gogeta | lol | 00:21 |
| gogeta | yea cap x | 00:21 |
| JoeKerr | can i transfer all my windows ntfs file to ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| donavan_ | gogeta cant really use dpkg bcause i dont know the package i need to mess with | 00:22 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, if you really wanted to | 00:22 |
| gogeta | i told you lol | 00:22 |
| gogeta | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:22 |
| SeaPhor | and gogeta i believe the "Ubuntu way" is gksudo gedit ... | 00:22 |
| Titan8990 | SeaPhor, no way | 00:22 |
| gogeta | SeaPhor: hes bash only | 00:22 |
| donavan_ | gogeta sorr about the last thing xchat wasnt scrolling and i missed a munch of your posts | 00:22 |
| Titan8990 | SeanTater, thats the "lame way" | 00:22 |
| gogeta | lol ok | 00:23 |
| JoeKerr | can ubuntu read my external drive of windows files? | 00:23 |
| jschiff | JoeKerr: yes | 00:23 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, yes | 00:23 |
| SeaPhor | ooo, ok, TY Titan8990 and gogeta , i must have missed that part | 00:23 |
| nerdy_kid | I have an external HD with OSX on it, can QEMU run it? | 00:23 |
| JoeKerr | i was reading that you need some kind of programs to read ntfs file | 00:23 |
| jschiff | JoeKerr: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g i believe | 00:24 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, maybe if you make an image that can possibly be converted, I would doubt it | 00:24 |
| jschiff | JoeKerr: you try just plugging it in...? | 00:24 |
| JoeKerr | so its not as easy as just installing ubuntu and transferring all the files | 00:24 |
| Titan8990 | jschiff, you only need that to write, you can copy files off with the standard ntfs-3g | 00:24 |
| nerdy_kid | JoeKerr, not be default, the ntfs-3g is for advanced tasks like partition management | 00:24 |
| nerdy_kid | JoeKerr just plug it in and it will work for reading /Writing | 00:25 |
| JoeKerr | i'm also having problem downloading unbuntu server 9.04 from the main web page | 00:25 |
| nerdy_kid | Titan8990, how would i make an image, if it is possible? | 00:25 |
| JoeKerr | keep saying the .iso file is corrupted...anyone else having this prob? | 00:25 |
| jschiff | sorry :( | 00:25 |
| Zorael^2 | Download it via a torrent | 00:26 |
| nerdy_kid | JoeKerr, are you burning it to a CD? | 00:26 |
| JoeKerr | yes | 00:26 |
| nerdy_kid | JoeKerr The CD burning proccess hardly ever works right (for me at least)\ | 00:27 |
| JoeKerr | i thought i'd burn it thru windows xp and install from there | 00:27 |
| TuxedoBond | Should I use Ext3 or Ext4? | 00:27 |
| JoeKerr | i'm able to burn successfully the desktop version | 00:27 |
| nerdy_kid | JoeKerr, just unzip the iso with Universal Extractor (google it) and write it on a flash disk | 00:27 |
| donavan_ | gogeta on problem with editing the /etc/x11/xorg.conf I dont have an /ect/x11 directory | 00:27 |
| jschiff | TuxedoBond: etc4 | 00:28 |
| nerdy_kid | JoeKerr, then boot off the flash disk | 00:28 |
| jschiff | ext4* | 00:28 |
| ARMENIAN | does anyone know if i can start another x server and vnc into a windows machine? | 00:28 |

| TuxedoBond | No need for Ext3? | 00:28 |
| JoeKerr | i'll try the usb route then | 00:28 |
| jschiff | TuxedoBond: ext4 is faster and stable, no reason to use ext 3 | 00:28 |
| TuxedoBond | OK. | 00:28 |
| gogeta | donavan_: /etx/X11 | 00:28 |

| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, with dd | 00:29 |

| Flannel | jschiff, TuxedoBond: ext4 is not stable yet | 00:29 |
| JoeKerr | where can i get a PDF instruction to use ubuntu as a file server | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, dd if=/dev/PARTITION of=file.img | 00:29 |
| jschiff | Flannel: sure it is | 00:29 |
| Titan8990 | nerdy_kid, or i think you can do it with gnu parted more efficiently | 00:29 |
| TuxedoBond | What about ReiserFS? | 00:29 |

| Out_Cold | how do i tell which devices are mounted to which points? | 00:30 |
| Titan8990 | jschiff, that was the opinion of the devs, not the entire community | 00:31 |
| jschiff | lol.. | 00:31 |
| jschiff | ext4 is stable for crying out loud | 00:31 |
| jschiff | since 2.6.28 | 00:31 |
| bastidrazor | Out_Cold, mount | 00:31 |
| jschiff | just because ubuntu doesn't use it by default doesn't mean it's not stable | 00:31 |
| Flannel | jschiff: That's why we get occassional loss of data, right? | 00:31 |
| Titan8990 | jschiff, doesn't mean it doesn't still have problems, its a brand new filesystem | 00:31 |
| graingert | !question | gingeroo | 00:31 |
| ubottu | gingeroo: 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. :-) | 00:31 |
| jschiff | i've used it since it came out and i've never got any data loss | 00:32 |
| Titan8990 | jschiff, ubuntu will usually be the first to make something unstable the "default" such as pulseaudio but this time it was fedora that defaults to ext4 first | 00:32 |

| JoeKerr | is ubuntu the best one to use to run a file server? | 00:33 |
| donavan_ | gogeta im logged in as root and I got the xorg.conf file opened but it looks like a generic file nothing really in it but i have a bunch of other xorg.conf.2009xxxxxxx files in the directory looks like the date should i try renaming one of the older ones to my xorg.conf ? | 00:33 |
| Titan8990 | Dracofodder, that should be configurable via the nvidia-settings gui | 00:33 |
| bastidrazor | Dracofodder, install nvidia-settings and run it with gksudo nvidia-settings then go from there. | 00:33 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, file servers are trivial and can be ran on virtually an os | 00:33 |
| dsdeiz | what is this? | 00:33 |
| === w4ett-AWAY is now known as w4ett | ||
| dsdeiz | what is this? | 00:33 |
| dsdeiz | what is this? apt-xapian-index | 00:34 |

| K99Brain | JoeKerr, if you ask in this official ubuntu channel, the answer cannot be nothing else than yes | 00:34 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, does popularity matter? | 00:34 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, and yes, a "lets start a distro war" question is better suited for #linux | 00:34 |
| donavan_ | titan8990 if its not needed then where do you change the graphics driver info at | 00:35 |
| JoeKerr | i'm not a lynux user...in windows not all version is good | 00:35 |
| graingert | JoeKerr, what is lynux? | 00:35 |
| dsdeiz | u should try lynux | 00:35 |
| JoeKerr | so far i'm only been playing with ubuntu | 00:36 |
| graingert | dsdeiz, is lynux any good? | 00:36 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, its all auto-detected by HAL the only time you need to specify a graphics driver is when they are proprietary such as nvidia or fglrx | 00:36 |
| william56 | hey, i ran fixmbr to try and boot from my windows partition, and restored my partition table with testdisk after fixmbr mangled it.. now i can mount all the partitions and read them, but parted and hotplug don't notice them | 00:36 |
| Dracofodder | bastidrazor: .. thanks, first time trying to setup secondary monitor. Do I then do twinview, or separate X screen? | 00:36 |
| william56 | anyone have suggestions for me? | 00:36 |
| graingert | dsdeiz, a desendant of mynix no doubt? | 00:36 |
| graingert | Dracofodder, twinview | 00:36 |
| koshari | william56 were they in an extended partition? | 00:36 |
| JoeKerr | right now im deciding whether to install windows 2008 server or ubuntu | 00:36 |
| dsdeiz | graingert: I have no idea if it exists. I thought the guy misspelled it. | 00:37 |
| william56 | two of the partitions were, including /boot | 00:37 |
| dreki | does feisty come with anything to monitor CPU, GPU, and/or harddrive temps? or is there another good app? | 00:37 |
| graingert | Dracofodder, just plug it in - it should do it automatically - configure it with nvidia-settings | 00:37 |
| graingert | dsdeiz, I know - and you ruined it | 00:37 |
| graingert | dsdeiz, ;-) | 00:37 |
| koshari | william56 you may have a bit of trouble then iam afraid | 00:37 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, use what your confortable with but windows 2008 server will be MUCH more resource heavy and require GUI administration | 00:37 |
| dsdeiz | graingert: oh, my bad | 00:37 |
| donavan_ | titan8990 i am using a ati radeon card but after i upgraded to 9.04 from 8.10 my video looks like it is trying to display too many pixels on the screen it all messed up | 00:37 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, not to mention it costs like $700 | 00:37 |
| K99Brain | JoeKerr, it exists ubuntu server, specifically for servers, without graphics | 00:38 |
| wenk | So, I'm about 1 hr on ubuntu after been using Fedora and OpenSuse for years, trying to get wireless up, the wiki says my card(a BroadCom BCM4328 Rev 03) is supported and works out of the box. The little hardware driver gui says BroadCom STA wireless is activated but not in use. However, I can't see wlan0 from iwconfig, and Network Manager doesn't think I have any wireless. | 00:38 |
| === Leszczoman is now known as karaeska | ||
| demogorgon15 | hello | 00:38 |
| TuxedoBond | So...Ext4 or Ext3, or ReiserFS? | 00:38 |
| JoeKerr | i already have the software but from what i've read its not all that good | 00:38 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, you always have to reinstall drivers after kernel upgrades because the modules are compiled using the head for file for that particular kernel | 00:38 |
| william56 | koshari: /boot then an ext3 storage partition are extended, and my ntfs, then swap, then the root directory for ubuntu are there before the two extended | 00:38 |
| JoeKerr | i dont need all the graphics crap...just a stable platform | 00:38 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, reinstall fglrx | 00:38 |
| demogorgon15 | has anyone here gotta a logitech clear char usb headset working? | 00:38 |
| K99Brain | TuxedoBond, ext3 in my opinion | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | TuxedoBond: Ext3 the current default, Ext4 by default in the next version of Ubuntu, but that means for full Ext4 support people need to clean install | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | TuxedoBond: Ext4 also an optional file system for 9.04 | 00:39 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, they have specialized linux distros that can make your linux box a NAS | 00:39 |
| koshari | william56 you should be able to see the primary partitions grom parted | 00:39 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, much more suited for the task of a simple file server | 00:39 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, http://www.freenas.org/ | 00:40 |
| william56 | putting print into parted results in this, koshari: "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!" | 00:40 |
| Titan8990 | JoeKerr, you can run your box headless | 00:40 |
| ARMENIAN | when i do startx -- :1 i keep getting error starting NO protocol specified | 00:40 |
| === _matt is now known as _Texas | ||
| JoeKerr | thanks for all the help | 00:40 |
| dreki | does feisty come with anything to monitor CPU, GPU, and/or harddrive temps? or is there another good app? | 00:40 |
| koshari | william56 dunno migt be worth trying ##linux | 00:41 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, whats in your .xinitrc? | 00:41 |
| netsurf3 | dreki, i use gkrellm it does it all! | 00:41 |
| K99Brain | dreki, feisty is quite old, isn't it? | 00:41 |
| william56 | alright, thanks, koshari | 00:42 |
| donavan_ | titan8990 got command that will let me do that from the command line dont know what it is called | 00:42 |
| Freddy2 | hi | 00:42 |
| Freddy2 | is only me, or keyserver is down? | 00:42 |
| === _Texas is now known as [texas] | ||
| Freddy2 | i mean, keyserver.ubuntu.com | 00:42 |
| Titan8990 | !ati | 00:43 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:43 |
| K99Brain | Freddy2, it responds to the ping, so it's up | 00:43 |
| === locke_ is now known as |_ocke | ||
| K99Brain | Freddy2, but maybe you can try another keyserver | 00:44 |
| ARMENIAN | Titan8990: i did nohup before with /usr/bin/startxfce4 and it gave no protocol error now i deleted the nohup file in home directory and i no longer get the error but still all i get is a black screen | 00:44 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, aptitude search fglrx | 00:44 |
| dreki | K99Brain: rofl, sry, i ment to say jaunty, i was talking to someone else about feisty cause i used to use it, and got them crossed in my head... | 00:44 |
| === aaron is now known as TiMiDo | ||
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, you need to put "exec startxfce4" in your .xinitrc | 00:44 |
| Freddy2 | hmm it was a firewall problem, it's listening on a "non expected for me" tcp port :) | 00:44 |
| Freddy2 | it works now | 00:45 |
| Freddy2 | thx | 00:45 |
| ARMENIAN | Titan8990: i don't want to launch xfce :) , that works, what I'm trying to do is launch a simple x server so that i can vnc into a windows machine | 00:45 |
| donavan_ | titan8990 thanks for that i always wondered how you searched the aptitude stuff | 00:45 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, you can also do: sudo aptitude and you will get a TUI similar to synatpic | 00:46 |
| Bohemian | how can i tell what video card i have? | 00:46 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, you have to have a application running on the xserver in order for it to start | 00:47 |
| Bohemian | lspci ? | 00:47 |
| donavan_ | titan8990 being that is says i already have the newest driver do i uninstall and then reinstall or what ? | 00:47 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, reinstall should be fine | 00:47 |
| ARMENIAN | Titan8990: hmm, cause someone on the linux server told me i could just do startx -- :1 and it would start | 00:47 |
| MontelEdwards | FAT32 is the same as vFat rightt? | 00:48 |
| Freddy2 | right | 00:48 |
| ARMENIAN | Titan8990: basically what i'm trying to do is run a separate like idk what it's called but a fullscreen window which i can switch to using ctrl+alt+f8 for example where it's vnced into a windows machine | 00:48 |
| MontelEdwards | thanks Freddy2 | 00:48 |
| Dracofodder | bastidrazor: fairly clear interface, but I'm getting a failed to set metamode error problem possibly with the nvidia card? or the second monitor? it appears to have detected it, but won't activate. Or do I have to write to the X config file and restart before it will work? | 00:48 |
| Freddy2 | that was fast.. xD | 00:48 |
| Zxcvb | is it possible to uninstall a library without uninstalling everything that depends on it? | 00:48 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, alright but you have to exec something out of your .xinitrc | 00:48 |
| SeaPhor | Bohemian, sudo lshw -C video | 00:49 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, such as a terminal emulator: exec rxvt | 00:49 |
| bastidrazor | Dracofodder, you have to run it with gksudo and yes save to X then restart gdm/kdm | 00:49 |
| ARMENIAN | ohh ok rxvt i've seen that somewhere here let me try it | 00:49 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, xserver won't run by itself because it can't do anything by itself | 00:49 |
| Dracofodder | bastidrazor: thanks, wasn't sure to take the step unless it was working, since I hadn't backup my config files first. | 00:50 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, or you may just want to put the vnc session in your .xinitrc | 00:50 |
| donavan_ | titan8990 well everything looks like it worked rebooting about to find out | 00:50 |
| Bohemian | SeaPhor: once i know the driver, how do i update it? | 00:50 |
| bastidrazor | Dracofodder, some setting will not work until a restart. | 00:50 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, pastebin your xorg.conf first | 00:50 |
| Dracofodder | bastidrazor: well here goes geronimo! (and thanks for the help) | 00:51 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvbAawBGmgE&feature=related | 00:51 |
| donavan_ | cant really do that from a command line ... at least not with out some help | 00:51 |
| [Pwner]John | How can i run ubuntu and windows at the same time? | 00:51 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, 5 part video series, explains way better than i ever could | 00:51 |
| SeaPhor | Bohemian, have you looked at System>Administration>Hardware Drivers? | 00:51 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, aptitude search wgetpaste | 00:51 |
| [Pwner]John | :o | 00:51 |
| ARMENIAN | Titan8990: lol i just tried startx rxvt -- :3 but it just crashed, the odd thing is i dont have an .xinitrc in my home folder | 00:51 |
| moymoy | [Pwner]John: you can run windows in VirtualBoxOSE in seamless mode | 00:51 |
| bastidrazor | donavan_, you can.. install pastebinit then pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:51 |
| Titan8990 | donavan_, or actually: aptitude search pastebin | 00:51 |
| ARMENIAN | Titan8990: and yes the files are unhidden ;-) | 00:51 |
| [Pwner]John | moymoy: seamless mode? | 00:51 |
| lstarnes | [Pwner]John: unless you run one of them in a virtual machine, you can't | 00:51 |
| [Pwner]John | does a laptop count as a virtual machine? | 00:52 |
| [Pwner]John | :p | 00:52 |
| ardnaxele | yo | 00:52 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, you typically don't because modern distros don't use them by default | 00:52 |
| lstarnes | [Pwner]John: no | 00:52 |
| moymoy | [Pwner]John: yeah.. it integrates the virtual machine with your desktop.. youtube it or something | 00:52 |
| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, just create the file | 00:52 |

| guedesav | I can still connect to the router wirelessly via Windows or even a DS, but the Ubuntu will only connect wired(like I'm doing now :( ), and knetworkmanager gives me this strange "Setting '802-1x' is empty, discarding" message. Anyone know why? | 01:07 |
| guedesav | or, even better, how to solve this? | 01:07 |

| guedesav | it was working just yesterday night! | 01:08 |
| coleys | guedesav: No WPA doesn't work, uhm... Are you hex key or... string? | 01:08 |

| guedesav | coleys: and I already answered Hex | 01:10 |
| guedesav | coleys: 40-bit hex key | 01:10 |

| guedesav | coleys: yes, WEP 40/128-bit Hexadecimal, as knetworkmanager says | 01:11 |
| coleys | guedesav: There is two options? (maybe more) one is Wep Hex -- choose that one. | 01:11 |
| Scrow | I do not understand the question | 01:11 |

| Titan8990 | ARMENIAN, the one with ~ is a backup that was made by your text editor | 01:12 |
| donavan_ | titan8990 and after i go into /etc/ati/ there is no control in there so something is messed up ... could it be that i need to reinstall the catalist control center also | 01:12 |
| lstarnes | Scrow: what about the internal? | 01:12 |
| guedesav | coleys: but I'm not sure if before or after my first hibernation test | 01:12 |

| lstarnes | Scrow: do you have the external drive mounted in ubuntu? | 01:13 |

| sebsebseb | virii: Ubuntu is based on Gnome by default, and Kubuntu uses KDE | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | !gnome | virii | 01:29 |
| ubottu | virii: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 01:29 |
| virii | ok | 01:29 |
| virii | does one runner fsater? | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | !kde | 01:29 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 01:29 |
| moniteur | intel | 01:29 |
| virii | tx | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | virii: KDE is a lot more bloated than Gnome | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | virii: also there's Xubuntu/XFCE which is like a cut down version of Gnome | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | !xubuntu | 01:30 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 01:30 |

| DarkRavin | ok can u help me get the update i need | 01:36 |
| moniteur | Intel 82865G Graphic Controller my friend | 01:36 |
| lstarnes | DarkRavin: ubuntu 9.04 came with kdelibs5 4.4.2.2, so it will likely stay with that version unless the packaging team determines that an update to a different version is needed for fixing a major bug or security flaw | 01:36 |

| lstarnes | DarkRavin: download the source tarball from kde's website and build it using their instructions. however, I strongly recommend that you not do that and stick with what's already in ubuntu | 01:43 |

| Serpardum | whatever the wiki says. Basically hyou should be able to give the machine\user and log in, etc.. | 01:45 |
| Serpardum | depends on ldap I guess | 01:45 |
| moniteur | lstarnes it seems you forget me my friend | 01:45 |
| Bookman | lstarnes: yes, but "partner" already turned on in software sources | 01:45 |
| lstarnes | moniteur: no, I haven't | 01:45 |
| donavan_ | how fo i mount a usb drive under the command line ... id dont have gui access | 01:45 |
| Kalisto_ | sebsebseb, its not set as default. i want it set as default with one push of a button in Linux | 01:45 |
| lstarnes | moniteur: I'm having difficulty in finding the hardware compatibility list | 01:46 |
| mubu | Hey guys is there a simple gui way to record the audio of a specific application (preferably) or at least record the audio of everything that comes out of my speakers in ubuntu 9.04? thanks | 01:46 |
| Bookman | lstarnes: me thinks that Opera is not ready for 9.04 yet. | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | Kalisto_: it can be done, but I am wondering first before I say how, as to why you want to do that | 01:46 |
| PerryArmstrong | Serpardum; so si what i tod you right? | 01:46 |
| DarkRavin | where can i find widgets for my ubuntu version | 01:46 |
| Estagus_ | re all | 01:46 |
| Kalisto_ | sebsebseb, cause i want to be able to be away from my pc when i restart and not wait for the grub prompt to select windows | 01:47 |
| Estagus_ | I have installed 9.04... Now I need to install postgresql-8.4 from karmic | 01:47 |
| Estagus_ | how to do this? | 01:47 |
| virii | anyone with a working bluetooth headset in harty 8.04 ??? id like to hear music or voice activation commandsthatd rock | 01:47 |
| virii | or am i over extending myself | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | Kalisto_: I meant what do you want to use Windows for? also with enough RAM, and depending on what you want to use it for, you can run a virtual machine of it inside Ubuntu | 01:47 |
| Poolare | Estagus_: sudo apt-get install postgresql* | 01:47 |
| Kalisto_ | sebsebseb, gaming. | 01:48 |
| Estagus_ | Poolare: I think firsk I need to tune apt-get | 01:48 |
| Kalisto_ | wine does not cut it when it comes to steeam | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | Kalisto_: 3D gaming? | 01:48 |
| Kalisto_ | yes | 01:48 |
| ll | virii: my bluetooth speakers work, can't verify headset | 01:48 |
| virii | kalisto no wine doesnt cut it what does? | 01:48 |
| Poolare | Estagus_: finetune all you like | 01:48 |
| Estagus_ | Poolare: I add deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted multiverse universe | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | Kalisto_: well Virtualbox 3.0 released not that long ago, has better Directx support now as well | 01:48 |
| lstarnes | Estagus_: jaunty only supports up to postgresql 8.3 | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | Kalisto_: Direct3D8/9 | 01:48 |
| ll | virii: I even have nintendo wii controller working tho... so a headset would probably work | 01:48 |
| bastidrazor | Estagus_, that is the perfect way to break an install | 01:48 |
| Estagus_ | Poolare: and I can't see 8.4 | 01:48 |
| Poolare | Estagus_: of what code ? | 01:48 |
| Kalisto_ | sebsebseb, hmm interesting... | 01:48 |
| virii | virtualbox runs steam? | 01:48 |
| virii | awsome | 01:48 |
| SeaPhor | Kalisto_, what game/s? | 01:49 |
| Kalisto_ | TF2 and CS Source they both run "somewhat" under wine but i dont get the fps no matter what even if i force dx8 | 01:50 |
| dsdeiz | hi! what's cupsd? | 01:50 |
| Poolare | IDC private networking channel of drones ? | 01:50 |
| lstarnes | dsdeiz: it's used for printing | 01:50 |
| Estagus_ | Poolare: and I can't see postgresql-8.4 | 01:50 |
| dsdeiz | can i disable that one? since i don't have a printer? | 01:50 |
| lstarnes | dsdeiz: probably | 01:50 |
| Poolare | Penis is all ive got to say. Sad really because i know all servers inside and out. | 01:51 |
| lstarnes | moniteur: are there any drivers listed in system > administration > hardware drivers? | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | Kalisto_: as for the thing you wanted to do, you can gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and put the entry for Windows at the top of those, and then Windows should boot up first. also there's a nice little program for configuring Grub called startupmanager, but it seems it won't do the thing you wanted, but it can do other things that you may want to do | 01:52 |

| edbian | Bookman: I have opera! | 01:54 |
| Bookman | edbian: how did you install? Which version of Opera/Ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| Flannel | Estagus_: don't mix repositories like that. Stick with Jaunty sources | 01:54 |
| lstarnes | moniteur: do you have the package xserver-xorg-video-intel installed? | 01:54 |
| Kalisto_ | SeaPhor, iv tried cedega and wine. it runs too ugly to be fun | 01:54 |

| chyea | hey all. on a 64-bit system, i'm trying to run a 32-bit program but it's giving me an error saying the file is not a valid file/folder. i recall needing to download a package that allowed me to run 32-bit compiled apps. | 01:55 |
| ted__ | Bookman just download the .bin and run as a shell script u amy need to chmod 0777 | 01:55 |
| smacktalk | ted, what's TOP? | 01:55 |
| edbian | Bookman: opera 10.0 beta Ubuntu 9.04. Just grab the .dev package from the site my friend! | 01:55 |
| chyea | i thought it was like ia32-libs, but that doesn't exist. | 01:55 |
| lstarnes | smacktalk: top, it's a process viewer | 01:55 |
| ted__ | a command line tool to see open programs | 01:55 |
| dsdeiz | !info top | smacktalk | 01:55 |
| ubottu | smacktalk: Package top does not exist in jaunty | 01:55 |
| edbian | Bookman: I'll get a link. Do you know how to install a .deb? | 01:55 |
| dsdeiz | oops | 01:55 |
| dsdeiz | lolz | 01:55 |
| Bookman | edbian: I tried, it just errors out. | 01:55 |
| chyea | any idea what the name of this package is | 01:55 |
| ted__ | it should | 01:55 |
| dsdeiz | well, i tried | 01:55 |
| Estagus_ | Flannel: but I need postgresql 8.4 and there no such thing. only in karmic. I need a qt 4.5.2 and the same thing.... only in karmic :(( | 01:55 |
| ted__ | if not its sudo apt-get install top | 01:55 |
| SeaPhor | Kalisto_, really??? my games run 3-5x better in cedega | 01:55 |
| edbian | Bookman: So you have the .deb package. What command did you run to install it? | 01:55 |
| ted__ | Kalisto_ tf2 wont work under wine | 01:56 |
| Kalisto_ | ted it does run with dx8 forced. but its kinda slow... | 01:56 |
| Kalisto_ | SeaPhor, compared to what the run 3-5x better? | 01:56 |
| bastidrazor | Bookman, http://www.opera.com/ for a more stable version .. 9.64 | 01:57 |
| SeaPhor | Kalisto_, compared to Windows | 01:57 |
| Kalisto_ | what games are you talking about? | 01:57 |
| Bookman | edbian: Why a command? Package Installer GUI | 01:57 |
| smacktalk | ted just what is top? not in synaptic package manager | 01:58 |
| SeaPhor | Kalisto_, this is OT, if you want - i'll be happy to talk to you about all of this on my channel, #seaphor | 01:58 |
| edbian | Bookman: I'm actually a little confused about the version myself. When I look at about opera I get that I am version 10.0 but lmy browser ID is 9.8 and the page lists that 9.64 is available for linux. So IDK | 01:58 |
| edbian | Bookman: I like the CLI | 01:58 |
| lstarnes | smacktalk: open a terminal and run the command "top" | 01:58 |
| Kalisto_ | ok ill head there | 01:58 |
| Bookman | edbian: yeah, it is all confusing. | 01:58 |
| mubu | Hey guys is there a simple gui way to record the audio of a specific application (preferably) or at least record the audio of everything that comes out of my speakers in ubuntu 9.04? thanks | 01:58 |
| edbian | Bookman: Are you willing to run a command I give you to install the package? I don't have much / any experience with a GUI for installing .deb | 01:58 |
| ted__ | edbian | 01:59 |
| edbian | ted__: | 01:59 |
| ted__ | the gui should autoinstall it if he is root | 01:59 |
| ted__ | if not its a bad xml | 01:59 |
| Bookman | edbian: yes, but this calls for another beer | 01:59 |
| ted__ | or he just messed up | 01:59 |
| smacktalk | interesting top doesn't show xrdp running...but the grep command does.. | 01:59 |
| ted__ | or is drunk | 01:59 |
| lstarnes | smacktalk: top only shows a limited number of processes | 01:59 |
| edbian | Bookman: ted__: Computing and Drinking don't go well. | 01:59 |
| bastidrazor | smacktalk, top isn't the best way to see if a process is running. | 02:00 |
| lstarnes | smacktalk: I usually use htop instead of top because it has a better interface | 02:00 |
| lg4667 | does anyone have any experience restoring an installation using clonezilla (or, rather, a clone made w/ clonezilla)? do you have to restore only to a system with identical hardware, or? | 02:00 |
| ted__ | that be the truth | 02:00 |
| smacktalk | ;-)gotcha | 02:00 |
| smacktalk | thanks | 02:00 |
| Bookman | ted__: you download and by default it opens the package installer | 02:00 |
| ted__ | no bookman save it then run the GUI | 02:00 |
| * ted__ yargs | 02:00 | |
| edbian | Bookman: How about running a command so we get some errors to work with? Just say no if you don't want to. | 02:00 |
| ted__ | the gui cant handle firefox temps | 02:01 |
| Bookman | edbian: hold on here....I have errors to throw at you. | 02:01 |
| dsdeiz | i am also a bit confused why ps aux shows a process that top doesn | 02:01 |
| edbian | Bookman: Ted__ Maybe that's the issue! Temp file? | 02:01 |
| dsdeiz | doesn't* | 02:01 |
| edbian | Bookman: Yay! Errors! | 02:01 |
| ted__ | most likely | 02:01 |
| ted__ | you need to save them paks first | 02:01 |
| ted__ | then run them | 02:01 |
| bastidrazor | dsdeiz, top is showing what is using the most resources.. has nothing to do with attempting to notify you if it is running. | 02:01 |
| usr13 | dsdeiz; You sure that top doesn't? | 02:01 |
| ted__ | or else it gets errors | 02:01 |
| Bookman | ted__: will try | 02:01 |

| smacktalk | sorry for the newbie questions...what's the syntax for the sudo apt get command? | 02:02 |
| zacktu | i reinstalled opera and now videos are gone -- no controls or anything -- just a blank space -- how can i get the videos back? | 02:02 |
| smacktalk | I wan't to install htop | 02:02 |
| ted__ | smacktalk | 02:02 |
| dsdeiz | usr13: yeah, sometimes | 02:02 |
| dsdeiz | bastidrazor: oh okay.. got it | 02:02 |
| usr13 | dsdeiz: top -p <pid-of-app-in-question-here> | 02:02 |

| ted__ | so 'sudo atp-get install htop' | 02:03 |
| ted__ | you may need to say yes | 02:03 |
| Bookman | ted__: nope, very same errors | 02:03 |
| mubu | Hey guys is there a simple gui way to record the audio of a specific application (preferably) or at least record the audio of everything that comes out of my speakers in ubuntu 9.04? thanks | 02:03 |
| edbian | Bookman: What are the errors? | 02:03 |
| ted__ | then it must be bad xml | 02:03 |
| ted__ | or archive | 02:03 |
| usr13 | dsdeiz: You don't always see what all top is displaying, you have to make the window longer and push some of it off the top of the screen. | 02:03 |
| ted__ | but yes i needs errors | 02:03 |
| Amarst | is it still impossible to have static ip addresses with ubuntu-desktop? | 02:04 |
| ll | mubu: audacity or sound recorder | 02:04 |
| Bookman | edbian: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 14720 package 'update-manager-core': | 02:04 |
| ted__ | yep amarst | 02:04 |
| Bookman | edbian: and it carries on | 02:04 |
| edbian | mubu: What about gnome's "sound recorder" ? | 02:04 |
| ll | mubu: you may need to adjust the mixer | 02:04 |
| ted__ | use yer rouder | 02:04 |
| dsdeiz | usr13: wicked, thanks ;) | 02:04 |
| Jeruvy | Amarst: no, you may. | 02:04 |
| mubu | ll i cant get soundrecorder to record anything other than my mic | 02:05 |
| edbian | mubu: Is it set to "Capture" ?? | 02:05 |
| usr13 | dsdeiz: M{ | 02:05 |
| mubu | edbian yeah | 02:05 |
| Amarst | Jeruvy: every time i use the network manager to set static, the ip changes, but i lose internet | 02:05 |
| edbian | Bookman: Sounds like a problem with the code in the package. | 02:05 |
| usr13 | dsdeiz: I mean NP | 02:05 |
| Bookman | edbian: See, never say beer is bad for computing to a Canadian! | 02:05 |
| Jeruvy | Amarst: then why are you trying to use static if the ip is dynamic? | 02:05 |
| edbian | Bookman: sorry llol | 02:05 |
| smacktalk | cool! I now have htop | 02:06 |
| Amarst | Jeruvy: I meant, the ip changes to what i tell it to | 02:06 |
| usr13 | Bookman: Nor a texan | 02:06 |
| smacktalk | very nice interface indeed! | 02:06 |
| Amarst | Jeruvy: I'm trying to set the ip behind the router static | 02:06 |
| Jeruvy | Amarst: maybe your not asking nicely :) can you be specific...I'm not really interested in playing 20 questions :) | 02:06 |
| Bookman | usr13: You got it! Beer+Computing=Tolerance | 02:06 |
| edbian | mubu: Change messing with your various volume settings? not sure really | 02:07 |
| anthony_ | how do i acces my filesystem? | 02:07 |
| usr13 | anthony_: ls | 02:07 |
| Amarst | Jeruvy: I'm trying to set my ubuntu box to be 192.168.1.100, and when I use the network manager to do that, it will change to 192.168.1.100, but i will lose internet access | 02:07 |
| edbian | Bookman: Where did you get the package? | 02:07 |
| Bookman | edbian: From the Opera website | 02:07 |
| Jeruvy | Amarst: what is the router configured for? dynamic allocation or static? | 02:07 |
| edbian | Bookman: So that's reliable... | 02:08 |
| Amarst | the router is set for dynamic | 02:08 |
| Bookman | edbian: http://www.opera.com/browser/download/ | 02:08 |
| Amarst | the router dishes out ip addresses dynamically | 02:08 |
| Jeruvy | Amarst: then you cannot use static. As you can tell is doesn't work. | 02:08 |
| Bookman | edbian: Could you try to install it on your end? | 02:08 |
| MK13 | Jeruvy,you can use static w/ a router that has DHCP | 02:08 |
| edbian | Bookman: Well. I'm actually running debian 5 right now. I'll try the ubuntu package hang on. | 02:09 |
| Jeruvy | Amarst: it's better to reserve ip's on the router if it supports it, then use dhcp allocation which then ends up behaving as static | 02:09 |
| dsdeiz | is it possible to download rapidshare files using wget? | 02:09 |
| Bookman | edbian: thanks for the effort here. | 02:09 |
| usr13 | anthony_: or nautilus or mc | 02:09 |
| edbian | Bookman: Do you see on the site where you choose your distro?? Try choosing debian and see if maybe the current ubuntu package is just faulty. | 02:09 |
| zacktu | i reinstalled opera and now videos are gone -- no controls or anything -- just a blank space -- how can i get the videos back? | 02:09 |
| ohnoes | hey guys, I have a very strange issue... I enabled the 3rd party repositories, but a lot of packages seem to be missing. For example, when i try to install xchat I get an error that says xchat is not available but referred to by other packages. | 02:10 |
| MK13 | Amarst, are you trying to give a computer on your lan a static ip? | 02:10 |
| edbian | Bookman: my pleasure! | 02:10 |
| ohnoes | I'm also getting issues with Gnome-do | 02:10 |
| edbian | zacktu: It's probably flash that you're missing. | 02:10 |
| ohnoes | installing it, that is | 02:10 |
| anthony_ | usr13: do what? | 02:10 |
| jezza | hey i need help in im new to ubuntu and im trying to sync my windows mobile based phone to my computer someone told me i need active sync but i cant find it to down load any where | 02:10 |
| Amarst | MK13: yes | 02:10 |
| Amarst | MK13: editing the /etc/network/interfaces doesn't help either | 02:11 |
| usr13 | !info opera | Bookman | 02:11 |
| ubottu | Bookman: Package opera does not exist in jaunty | 02:11 |
| ohnoes | jezza: what did you try to download it? did you use the command line? | 02:11 |
| MK13 | Amarst, what ip's does the router normally assign (192.168.X.X?) | 02:11 |
| jezza | just been looking on download.com | 02:11 |
| Amarst | 192.168.1.XXX | 02:11 |
| edbian | Bookman: That was silly of you. Obviously if the package was in the repos you wouldn't be at the website. | 02:11 |
| anthony_ | usr13: says i dont have permision to open filesystem | 02:11 |
| usr13 | anthony_: In answer to your question, "How do I access my filesystem", I answered ls or nautilus or mc etc... | 02:12 |
| usr13 | anthony_: ls -l | 02:12 |
| usr13 | anthony_: Which filesystem? | 02:12 |
| ohnoes | jezza; you're doing it wrong. use the command line and make sure you enabled the third party repositories. I'm willing to be it's there. use "aptitude search" to find the package (try "active-sync" or "activesync" or something like that" | 02:12 |
| velcroshooz | Im trying to burn a linux dvd iso, new burner, first time ive tried. the burner is at /dev/sr0, brasero and k3b as soon as write starts errors and kicks the disc out. ive tried running both from terminal to look for errors, found nothing, and nothing in /var/log/messages. Does anyone have any incite on this problem? | 02:12 |
| usr13 | anthony_: Who's filesystem? | 02:12 |
| Bookman | edbian: Ubuntu/Debian are the same package. Same errors and filenames | 02:12 |
| MK13 | Amarst, then just set a similar one by hand (192.168.0.10) then set the netmask up as 255.255.255.0, and it should work | 02:12 |
| virii | anyone with a working bluetooth headset in harty 8.04 ??? id like to hear music or voice activation commands or something 31337 like that | 02:12 |
| ohnoes | jezza: then, once you've found it, use "sudo apt-get install packagename" | 02:12 |
| zacktu | opera says that its path to flash is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so -- is that the one it should be? (appears to work okay with firefox) | 02:13 |
| anthony_ | usr13: places/computer/filesystem | 02:13 |
| ohnoes | jezza: but you'll need to enable the third party repos, most likely or you won't find it | 02:13 |
| jezza | oohnoes where do i look for it i have no idea | 02:13 |
| virii | flash works with my x64 | 02:13 |
| edbian | Bookman: They might seem that way but they definitely are not. Ubuntu is opera-static (don't know what that means so don't ask) but it has a slightly different GUI and it reports as version 9.64. | 02:13 |
| usr13 | anthony_: ls -l places/computer/filesystem | 02:13 |
| ohnoes | virii: l337 doesn't make you cool | 02:13 |
| virii | was hell to get it to work | 02:13 |
| ohnoes | jezza: i juts told you | 02:13 |
| virii | no it makes me a noob ohnoes | 02:14 |
| edbian | Bookman: Also it installed fine via command line | 02:14 |
| usr13 | anthony_: Find out who owns it. If it is not owned by you, use sudo | 02:14 |
| ohnoes | jezza; use the 'aptitude search' command | 02:14 |
| ohnoes | like i said above | 02:14 |
| usr13 | anthony_: sudo ls -l places/computer/filesystem | 02:14 |
| jezza | ok 1 sec | 02:14 |
| anthony_ | usr13: not good with abreviations what is ls? | 02:14 |
| ohnoes | jezza; Make sure you enable the third party repositories first. they're under "software sources" in the System>Admin menu | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. Time to read some command line beginner gides anthony_ 'ls' is the command to list files. | 02:15 |
| usr13 | anthony_: ls - list directory contents #See man ls | 02:15 |
| anthony_ | usr13: im the only user on this pc should own it | 02:15 |
| andrew_46 | velcroshooz: Try: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=path_to_myiso.iso | 02:15 |
| ohnoes | I enabled the 3rd party repositories, but a lot of packages seem to be missing. For example, when i try to install xchat I get an error that says xchat is not available but referred to by other packages. | 02:15 |
| ohnoes | anybody know what's up? | 02:15 |
| usr13 | anthony_: May be owned by root | 02:15 |
| Bookman | edbian: ok, what is the command line to install it? I'll give that a shot, thanks. | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ohnoes: update, upgrade, try again. | 02:15 |
| edbian | anthony_: ls is a terminal command which means "list". It lists the contents of things (typically used for files). | 02:16 |
| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: i did that already | 02:16 |
| edbian | Bookman: cd to the directory of the package. "sudo dpkg -i <packagename.deb>" | 02:16 |
| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: I checked that the repos were enabled, updated, upgraded, etc... | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ohnoes: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, then try reinstalling xchat.. try it again, or try a dist-upgrade perhaps.. | 02:16 |
| anthony_ | usr13: want to open on my gui | 02:16 |
| zacktu | edbian: opera says that its path to flash is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so -- is that the one it should be? (appears to work okay with firefox) | 02:16 |
| andrew_46 | velcroshooz: Hmmmm... perhaps growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=path_to_myiso.iso | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ohnoes: the only time ive ever seen a similer error was when the updates got out of sync | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ohnoes: or some repos got disabled some how | 02:17 |
| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: tried dist-upgrade as well | 02:17 |

| anthony_ | usr13: any way to change ownership | 02:17 |
| usr13 | anthony_: Yes | 02:17 |
| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: this is a fresh installation, so i'm a bit confused | 02:17 |
| edbian | zacktu: Look in that folder. See if there is a flashplugin-alternative.so See what firefox uses. I am pretty sure it should be "flashplugin-nonfree" | 02:17 |

| dsdeiz | oh nice.. it's now available? | 02:18 |
| usr13 | anthony_: You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do, about what files you are trying to access. | 02:18 |
| edbian | Bookman: What is the output of the dpkg line?? | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ohnoes: perhaps compare to my /etc/apt/sources.list ---> mine for an example --> (lots of stuff added to it) http://pastebin.com/f696cda99 | 02:18 |
| dsdeiz | oh wait.. this is what i already have | 02:18 |
| Bookman | edbian: exact same errors as the GUI | 02:18 |
| usr13 | anthony_: What filesystem are you talking about. (Type of filesystem) | 02:18 |
| edbian | Bookman: That is very strange. I am thinking that the new dpkg is the issue (newer in ubuntu than in debian). I can't think of anything else. | 02:19 |
| anthony_ | usr13: the c/programfiles for wine | 02:19 |
| usr13 | anthony_: Is it ext3 or ntfs or vfat ? | 02:19 |
| halberd | how is firefox 3.5? good? | 02:19 |
| anthony_ | usr13: ext3 | 02:19 |
| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: hmmm i see you enabled backports and proposed. think that could be it? | 02:19 |
| ohnoes | jezza: any luck? | 02:19 |

| Dr_Willis | ohnoes: i dont think that would be it however. | 02:19 |
| jezza | then admin yeah | 02:20 |
| usr13 | anthony_: Ok if it is ext3 you can use chown to change ownership. But first see who owns it now. ls -l /path/to/files | 02:20 |
| ohnoes | jezza: system>admin>software sources and then go to the 3rd party tab and enable both repos | 02:20 |
| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: I concur... | 02:20 |
| jezza | ok ta | 02:20 |
| ohnoes | strange... and annoying | 02:20 |

| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: let me pastebin both outputs. I have a different one for gnome-do and xchat | 02:21 |
| edbian | Bookman: Perhaps go into the file and remove it? It even tells you the line. Totally uncharted territory for me though. Goodl luck if you attempt that. | 02:21 |
| wapko | ahh sry .. firefox-3.5-gnome-support <- THIS package ! | 02:21 |

| velcroshooz | Im trying to burn a linux dvd iso, new burner, first time ive tried. the burner is at /dev/sr0, brasero and k3b as soon as write starts errors and kicks the disc out. ive tried running both from terminal to look for errors, found nothing, and nothing in /var/log/messages. Does anyone have any insight on this problem? | 02:22 |
| edbian | Bookman: I have a great idea! Just above the green button on the opera site is "check out the new opera 10 beta" You should try it out (as it were) | 02:22 |
| jezza | ohnoes everything is ticked allready | 02:22 |
| ohnoes | Dr_Willis: or anybody really... here are the errors I'm getting from apt-get. http://pastebin.com/m4240056d | 02:22 |
| Bookman | edbian: Already done that. Same exact error. | 02:22 |
| andrew_46 | velcroshooz: No luck with growisofs? | 02:22 |
| ohnoes | jezza: close out of software sources, open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 02:22 |
| jezza | ohnoes: i still need to find an activesync download | 02:23 |
| velcroshooz | andrew_46: could you give me the syntax please and i will test? does it need to be run as root? | 02:23 |
| ohnoes | jezza: then search for your package like i instructed above | 02:23 |
| edbian | Bookman: It's gotta be your dpkg. Now it's doing it on multiple different packages. | 02:23 |
| zacktu | edbian: synaptic says that I have flashplugin-installer, but not flashplugin-nonfree --- do i delete one and install the other, or just install flashplugin-nonfree? | 02:23 |
| Bookman | edbian: It could very well be. We'd need someone else with 9.04 to try the install using the same methods (hint, hint) | 02:23 |
| jezza | do you mean google it | 02:24 |
| andrew_46 | velcroshooz: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=path_to_iso.iso | 02:24 |
| ohnoes | jezza: so now we know you have the third party repository enabled. we just want to make sure that apt-get (your package managing software) is using them. so type in those commands I gave you and then search for your package as I instructed you earlier with "aptitude search" | 02:24 |
| velcroshooz | andrew_46: thank you i will test | 02:24 |
| edbian | zacktu: flashplugin-installer is the meta package for flashplugin-nonfree. You don't need to touch it. | 02:24 |
| ohnoes | jezza: no. you ahve to start reading what i'm sending you | 02:24 |
| ohnoes | jezza: aptitude search | 02:24 |
| ohnoes | in the terminal | 02:24 |
| dsdeiz | is xloadimage installed by default? | 02:24 |
| ohnoes | followed by your package name | 02:24 |
| edbian | Bookman: Yeah yeah. My ubuntu install is messed up right now! I confess! You caught me! | 02:24 |
| edbian | Bookman: I can't test it for you :( | 02:24 |
| Bookman | edbian: hahahahahah | 02:25 |

| stovicek1 | ohnoes: what's... apt-cache policy gnome-do xchat ...give you? | 02:25 |
| ohnoes | jezza; so try stuff like "aptitude search active-sync" or "aptitude search activesync" until you find the one. | 02:25 |
| jezza | sorry but i dont kinow what an appitude search is or where to find it | 02:25 |

| ohnoes | i'll check my repositories again... (9001th time =) ) | 02:29 |
| stovicek1 | ohnoes: are any of the repos timing out at all when you apt-get update? any errors? | 02:29 |

| Bookman | edbian: wonderful. | 02:29 |

| andrew_46 | velcroshooz: I am afraid that I am not sure then, apologies... | 02:29 |

| edbian | Bookman: NP! | 02:30 |
| Bookman | *your | 02:30 |
| edbian | Bookman: I don't know what else to try besides getting a different version of dpkg (not even sure that's possible) | 02:30 |
| ohnoes | stovicek1: no. they all seem to be in working order | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | khelvan: try 'locate .svg' or locate .svg | grep appname | 02:30 |

| Bookman | edbian: I fixed it. | 02:31 |
| khelvan | Dr_Willis - Thanks, I will try that | 02:31 |
| Bookman | edbian: corrected the '!' for a 'a' | 02:31 |

| Dr_Willis | sseiersen: clarify the problem to the channel. | 02:42 |
| coldserver | Dr_Willis: I am looking inside the gnome.desktop file, and I dont see any entry for "window manager".. sry for being dumb | 02:42 |
| sseiersen | I forwarded all ports and installed it all | 02:43 |
| doc_brown | coleys, how about like a "pie chart" program that will say my hdd is 35% mp3 files 12% avi files etc | 02:43 |
| Flannel | ohnoes: Those look good. is the apt-cache policy still the same? | 02:43 |
| sseiersen | And I get a server not found | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: its the name of the program its exeucing.. for gnome its 'gnome-session' | 02:43 |
| grkblood13 | i cant get youtube to work in 9.04 64 bit, i did dpkg -i --force-architecture and it appeared to isntall but firefox is still complaining | 02:43 |
| velcroshooz | coleys: i dont have an optical group | 02:43 |
| surferdude | Problem is, i get authentication failed whenever i try to login to the mailbox with outlook 07 | 02:43 |
| ohnoes | Flannel: you lost me there. what's an apt-cache policy? | 02:43 |
| grkblood13 | did that on flash 10 | 02:43 |

| coleys | velcroshooz: Might not be same for ubuntu, though. =/ | 02:43 |
| dsdeiz | how do i add my self to a group? say www-data? | 02:43 |
| coleys | ska178: no it should fix your proble. | 02:43 |
| ohnoes | !info gnome-do | 02:43 |
| ubottu | gnome-do (source: gnome-do): Quickly perform actions on your desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1.3-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 410 kB, installed size 1976 kB | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | theres several 'vnc' servers one can use. | 02:44 |
| Flannel | ohnoes: do `apt-cache policy gnome-do xchat` again and pastebin the output please. | 02:44 |
| coldserver | Dr_Willis: lets step back for a second please. I just want to run "dwm" as my window manager when ubuntu starts. How do I do this? | 02:44 |
| ohnoes | ooh right I did that earlier. | 02:44 |
| coldserver | what does this have anything to do with gnome-session or gnome.desktop | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: copy gnome.desktop to dwm.desktop edit 'gnome-session' to be 'gwm' | 02:44 |
| sseiersen | Im following this: http://lifehacker.com/317125/set-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps | 02:44 |
| sseiersen | Not sure if that's recent or not. | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: then the gdm menus will have 'dwm' as an entry | 02:44 |
| grkblood13 | how do i get flash to work on 9.04 64 bit? | 02:44 |
| beware | coldserver: see the symlink, /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: logical and easy eh? | 02:44 |
| beware | this controls which desktop environment to use | 02:44 |
| ohnoes | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/mb7dc8bf | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | oops change Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session | 02:45 |
| OttifantSir | doc_brown: baobab, named Disk Usage Analysis in your menu? | 02:45 |
| Jeruvy | sseiersen: gnome just does vnc without any setup/installs. Is there something else you need, or are you using kde/xfce? | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | to be Exec=/path/to/dwm | 02:45 |
| sseiersen | KDE | 02:45 |
| coldserver | wait, why are you talking about the session-manager... shouldnt you worry about the WINDOW manager? | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: its a good idea to use the full path to the Exec= settings. | 02:45 |
| sseiersen | Should I get Gnome? | 02:45 |
| coldserver | Dr_Willis: Yes, I am doing that. | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: most window managers in the repos add their own .desktop entry to the right place so they get auto-added to the GDM menus | 02:46 |
| doc_brown | OttifantSir, thanks | 02:46 |
| whaevr | any sed saavy people here? | 02:46 |
| doc_brown | OttifantSir, what is baobab? | 02:46 |
| coleys | coldserver: its actually pretty easy. xx Just open any .desktop file from /usr/share/applications/ and use common sense to what to type in a new one. | 02:46 |
| Flannel | ohnoes: right, that's the same pastebin from earlier. Actually, please do this one now: apt-cache policy gnome-do libgnomedesktop2.20-cil libnotify0.4-cil librsvg2-2.18-cil libwnck2.20-cil and pastebin the output | 02:46 |
| Jeruvy | sseiersen: you can, it won't hurt. But I'll leave it for someone who can help you on kde. | 02:46 |
| sseiersen | hmm | 02:47 |
| doc_brown | OttifantSir, nevermind i get it | 02:47 |
| sseiersen | Is there an Ubuntu KDE channel? | 02:47 |
| Flannel | sseiersen: #kubuntu | 02:47 |
| sseiersen | ty | 02:47 |
| coleys | lololo | 02:47 |
| whaevr | kubuntu..? | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !kubuntu | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 02:47 |
| coldserver | Dr_Willis, and beware: If I change the synlink at /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager to /opt/dwm/bin/dwm -- is that sufficient to make this all work? | 02:47 |

| kneeskrap3r | @coleys: no kidding! | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: do you have more then 1 user? why bother with that when you can just add a .desktop file and then change easially to/from it. | 02:48 |
| johnibanez | coleys, thanks a lot! | 02:48 |
| Flannel | kneeskrap3r, coleys: please stop that, this isn't a place for running commentary | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: that link would change the efault for ALL users.. | 02:48 |
| coleys | johnibanez: Which partition is your Windows partition? | 02:48 |
| kneeskrap3r | sorry mate :( | 02:48 |
| kneeskrap3r | my bad | 02:48 |
| bastid_razor | !ntfs | johnibanez | 02:48 |
| ubottu | johnibanez: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 02:48 |
| kneeskrap3r | C:! | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: thers the 'update-alternative' commands that take care of those links also.. dont alter them by hand | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: but its best to just create that dwm.desktop file (if you are using gdm that is) | 02:49 |
| johnibanez | coleys, no I no longer have a windows partition. Only for storage purposes. | 02:49 |
| ohnoes | Flannel: I added it at the bottom: http://pastebin.com/m72fd5ff5 | 02:49 |
| coleys | johnibanez: storage in ntfs D= Terribleeee. | 02:49 |
| johnibanez | Thanks bastid_razor | 02:49 |
| coldserver | Dr_Willis: I see tons of .desktop files, each one slightly different - what do they all mean? | 02:50 |
| bastid_razor | johnibanez, that link gives you a graphical way of mounting it.. | 02:50 |
| coleys | coldserver: They put entries in your gnome menu | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: every menu item is defined by the various .desktop files. thats how the menu system works. :) | 02:50 |
| surferdude | Anyone here running an dovecot server on ubuntu? | 02:50 |
| roy_hobbs | Is there anything else I need to do to get remote login working other than enable it in the Remote tab of "login window preferences" | 02:50 |
| coleys | coldserver: Open them and look at the data. | 02:50 |
| johnibanez | Thanks guys, got what I needed fast. | 02:51 |
| coldserver | I did | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: i belive freedesktop.org has the specs for the file format most of the data in them is straight forwared | 02:51 |
| coldserver | Ok, I've created a dwm.desktop file inside /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop - now what? (btw, the .desktop file I created is exactly the one you get when you install via apt-get) | 02:51 |
| Flannel | ohnoes: Alright, uh, just so I can see them easier, please pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) do you have anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/? | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: for gdm desktop entries.. just the name and the exec stuff is imporntant. | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: so there was allready a dwm.desktop file? | 02:52 |
| ohnoes | Flannel: sure. one second | 02:52 |
| coldserver | Dr_Willis: When I did apt-get dwm it added a .desktop file | 02:52 |
| Flannel | ohnoes: If you do have anything in that directory, just tack on its contents to sources.list in the paste | 02:52 |
| ohnoes | Flannel: nothing in sources.list.d | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: you have to 'restart' gdm for the desktop menus to get refreshed | 02:52 |
| ohnoes | i'm pastebinning sources.list | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | coldserver: so all of this was not needed. :) restart X/gdm look in the session menus.. there should be a DWM entry | 02:53 |

| william56 | well, i tried the windows cd, and used fixmbr and then fixboot, and it mangled all of my partition table | 03:18 |
| william56 | i restored it with testdisk, craigbass1976 | 03:18 |
| AK|vape | OttifantSir: So as it turns out, 1.1.8 is the version I need, not 1.1.9. I don't see a listing for 1.1.8 on getdeb.net, so how might I install this particular version? | 03:18 |
| craigbass1976 | william56, got to love windows. | 03:18 |
| ctmjr | bastid_razor, AFIAK you can have have as many terminals open as you like it should not matter as long as the module loads right | 03:18 |
| AK|vape | Or, rather, where might I find it? | 03:18 |
| bastid_razor | ctmjr, alright, no errors messages on the modprobe. i'll continue to dig. thanks | 03:18 |
| william56 | maybe i should check and see if it can see any partitions before i fixmbr next time | 03:19 |
| OttifantSir | AK|vape: What is it with the 1.1.8 version that you can't get from the 1.1.9 version? | 03:19 |
| craigbass1976 | william56, I can't help really; haven't dual booted since Fedora2 | 03:19 |
| freddy_engels | toni__ is the problem that ubuntu can't find your wireless card? | 03:19 |
| matyo | im check drivers from system administration hardwer drivers but is blank | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | fixmbr should in theory just reinstall the windows boot loader and not mess with the partition tables | 03:19 |
| AK|vape | OttifantSir: 1.1.8 is allowed on a tracker I use and 1.1.9 isn't yet. | 03:19 |
| toni__ | i dont know | 03:19 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, in theiory... :) | 03:19 |
| toni__ | will u help me out | 03:19 |
| william56 | well, thanks anyway. i might try the xp cd again, seeing as how i was able to fix whatever it did, and i restored grub during that process, craigbass1976 | 03:19 |
| freddy_engels | toni__ I can only help you if I know what the problem actually is. Where do you get an error message, and what exactly does it say? | 03:20 |
| fool_ | hey guys is there a way to check the file system of hpfs/ntfs partition ? | 03:20 |
| matyo | can eny one tell me pls how can i see what vga driver is using at moment my ubuntu 8.10 | 03:20 |
| craigbass1976 | toni__, and what's your card? lspci and look for something like broadcom, atheros, etc (but not /etc) | 03:20 |
| robbr | yeahhhh, we supa suspend dat ho | 03:21 |
| craigbass1976 | fool_, what do you mean check it? | 03:21 |
| robbr | supa suspend dat hoooo | 03:21 |
| william56 | matyo: ubuntu console "which video drivers" | 03:21 |
| fool_ | craigbass1976: check file system for errors etc... | 03:21 |
| ctmjr | bastid_razor, you can run sudo modinfo module-name or lsmod | grep module-name to see if it loaded sometimes modprobe will act like it loaded it but does not | 03:21 |
| william56 | wohops | 03:21 |
| william56 | i meant, google that, matyo | 03:22 |
| matyo | tnx :D | 03:22 |

| pepperjack | rebel: do you have a livecd? hd6,0 would be correct value. id use livecd then make sure the partition is not automounted just do a `sudo umount /dev/sdg1` then a sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sdg1 | 03:34 |

| [Soap] | please dont just paste that link again, that was no help | 03:35 |
| pam | Jeruvy: Just FYI, http://pastebin.com/m7ca4a60d from #ubuntu-devel | 03:35 |
| [Soap] | the systme recognizes that I have a wireless card, it just has no connection | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | [Soap]: then clarify the problem/chipset and you have checked the forum for your exact chipset? | 03:35 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: what problem are you having with wireless? | 03:35 |
| pam | Jeruvy: not sure what automated symbol extraction means though actually | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | and tell the channel not me. :) i dont do wireless much. | 03:35 |
| [Soap] | this is a new installation of Ubuntu 9.04 on a system with wireless as its only means of accessing the Internet | 03:35 |
| rebel | pepperjack: keep in mind when I changed the value to hd0,0 when it first gave me the error 22: no such partition on first boot it booted.. | 03:35 |
| [Soap] | and the system seems to recognize that there is a wireless adapter there, but it wont connect to the Internet and it wont tell me what's wrong | 03:36 |
| stephans | how do I change what happens when I incert a CD in Ubuntu? | 03:36 |
| [Soap] | there doesnt seem to be any sort of network configuration tool | 03:36 |
| OttifantSir | craigbass1976: You might wanna try sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm | 03:36 |
| Jeruvy | pam: ah, now that makes sense | 03:36 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: have you attempted configuring it using System->Preferences->Network Connections? | 03:36 |
| [Soap] | yes | 03:36 |
| [Soap] | it tells me that it exists | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | [Soap]: often one needs to download extra drivers for many wireless cards. You may have to get a wired connection some how. or figure out what files you need and download them from another pc. | 03:36 |
| [Soap] | but there's nothing there that I can change | 03:36 |
| pam | Jeruvy: to have firefox-3.5-dbg in normal repos but not firefox-3.0-dbg? No, it doesn't :p | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | [Soap]: what is the wireless network card exactly? what chipset? | 03:37 |
| [Soap] | it also tells me that it has "never" been used | 03:37 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: ummm...you should be able to change anything under the wireless tab in there to configure the ssid you need to connect to | 03:37 |
| [Soap] | but doesnt provide a button to click on in order to start it or anything | 03:37 |
| stephans | does anyone how do I change what happens when I insert a CD in Ubuntu? | 03:37 |
| Paddy_NI | !details | [Soap] | 03:37 |
| ubottu | [Soap]: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 03:37 |
| Jeruvy | pam: well 3.5 was alpha/beta until recently so my guess is someone did it prior to it hitting repo's. So you may want to avoid that (not that you were seeking it...) | 03:37 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, it says xinput isn't installed! :O | 03:38 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: also, if you look in the upper right hand corner you should see something that looks like AT&T bars with an "X", click on that | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | stephans: thers some gnome settings for that. but i can never rember where they are at.. they are in a quirky place. | 03:38 |
| [Soap] | this is the free download of Ubuntu, version 9.04 | 03:38 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: all ubuntu is free | 03:38 |

| stephans | Dr_Willis: hmmm... I can not find them... | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | stephans: i always just stumble upon them | 03:39 |
| [Soap] | yes I found the wireless connection menu, but that doesnt do anything either | 03:39 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: what version are you running? | 03:39 |
| stephans | does anyone else how do I change what happens when I insert a CD in Ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| [Soap] | if I click on it it changes into the "trying to connect" logo for a few seconds and then stops | 03:39 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: by do nothing what do you mean? | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | stephans: they are under the nautilus settings Prefferances -> media | 03:39 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, 8.04 | 03:39 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: then your connection settings are wrong | 03:39 |
| rocky | sorry if I misspoke earlier | 03:39 |
| [Soap] | well, ok, but is there any way to change the connection settings? | 03:40 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: oh, my bad...you need to check in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:40 |
| rocky | ok | 03:40 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: make sure your mouse is configured in there | 03:40 |

| jon5000 | Dr_Willis, not sure exactly what you mean. user jlulu can write to directory /jlulu, which is in /home, but cannot write to /home | 03:47 |
| rocky | youseenothing, should I have two option lines then? | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jon5000: err.. userc can only write to their own /home/USERNAME dir.. not to /home/ | 03:48 |
| rebel | can someone tell me why my drives would show up in gparted but not in fdisk -l | 03:48 |
| Bookman | I cannot start a browser or evolution or it crashes | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jon5000: thats by design. | 03:48 |
| jon5000 | ok. | 03:48 |
| youseenothing_ | Bookman: what do you mean by not really? have you done anything to this to try to fix the issues and what kind of linux background do you have? | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | a user has no need/reason to write to /home/ either. :) | 03:48 |
| DukGalNamu | scanner help... anyone? | 03:48 |
| anco | If i use the script that create taps from shorewall.... http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/contrib/kvm/kvm ... can I use these taps with virt-install? | 03:48 |
| jon5000 | Dr_Willis, ok. is there a way i could enable jlulu to move files into /home at least temporarily? | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jon5000: if you need a temp pace to put things use /tmp/ | 03:49 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: I'm a user. I have been running 9.04 for a bit. Nothing funky. Just a regular user. | 03:49 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: yes, you can have as many options as you want really... | 03:49 |
| rocky | ok | 03:49 |
| matyo | hi again me :D | 03:49 |
| jon5000 | ok | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jon5000: i cant imagine why you need to mess in /home/ instead of /home/username | 03:49 |
| rocky | so I should leave the "core pointer" option alone then? | 03:49 |
| rocky | dang it...... | 03:49 |
| rocky | I need sudo permissions | 03:49 |
| rocky | lol | 03:49 |
| gambler | after installing nvidia binary driver my system no longer boots into X. no screens found - do I just cycle thru apt-get installing the other nvidia-glx packages? | 03:49 |
| arand | rebel: use sudo? | 03:49 |
| youseenothing_ | Bookman: and what happens when the apps crash? and were you having these issues from the get-go? | 03:49 |
| jon5000 | Dr_Willis, got it. wont mess with it. | 03:50 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, the only reason i could see is shared access by multiple users ;o) | 03:50 |
| matyo | can any one tell me pls how can i install intel GMA 950 vga driver in ubuntu 8.10 and put them to default in ubuntu | 03:50 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: yes | 03:50 |
| jon5000 | Dr_Willis, thanks. | 03:50 |
| rocky | hehehe | 03:50 |
| Out_Cold | but again.. it would be /home/share/ | 03:50 |
| rebel | arand: I will try that once it reboots from live cd.. also, do you know if its right when it says that my drive /dev/sda is not mounted and thats the drive that i installed ubuntu to? | 03:50 |
| anco | anyone here with "virt-install" with KVM virtual guests? | 03:50 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_No, just in the last two days. I get a complete freeze up. I have to hard reboot. then sometimes, just the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights blink but no boot. | 03:51 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, now how do I restart x? | 03:51 |
| Bookman | I have to try several times to reboot then only some apps run. | 03:51 |
| gambler | Is there any graphics card that supports multi mon (3 monitor) setup on linux well? | 03:51 |

| Bookman | If I try evolution, it will just crash | 03:51 |
| Reitz_ | hello | 03:51 |
| matyo | hi | 03:51 |
| rocky | matyo, I have them, and it worked well without doing anything | 03:51 |
| Reitz_ | i need help with the upgrade to 9.04 | 03:51 |
| DukGalNamu | NemesisD: sometihng is using it, try restarting hal and dbus | 03:52 |
| CityofRobots | Virtualbox | 03:52 |
| NemesisD | DukGalNamu: how do i do that? | 03:52 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | gambler: nvidia may have some cards that do that now. the 8800 i got only handles 2 monitors or a monitor +tv :( | 03:52 |
| rocky | cool | 03:52 |
| DukGalNamu | NemesisD: sudo /etc/init.d/hald restart | 03:52 |
| anco | cityofrobots: That's directed to me, instead of kvm? | 03:52 |
| rebel | Guys, if for some reason my /dev/sda device says not mounted when i do sudo umount /dev/sda how would I go about mounting it so I can boot from it?? sda is my ubuntu install. | 03:52 |
| Reitz_ | I burned a cd of the upgrade and now when i put it in it says that the autorun program isn't there | 03:52 |
| youseenothing_ | Bookman: did you add anything before this started happening? install anything, make changes to something? | 03:52 |
| DukGalNamu | NemesisD: and switch hald with dbus or dbusd | 03:52 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, nope :( | 03:52 |
| DukGalNamu | not sure which it is | 03:52 |
| CityofRobots | Yes anco... I have found it very useful... | 03:53 |
| JoeM | how do I add a disk to lvm? I tried paritioning it, then adding it with vgextend (after doing pvcreate) vgdisplay says its all there but df doesn't, then tried removing it, formating new disk as ext3, then vgextend.. same thing | 03:53 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: nope, business as usualy | 03:53 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: hold on one sec... | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | rebel: mounting it is not really related to booting from it.. You boot the OS.. then mount filesystems to access them.. | 03:53 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, should I just go for 9.04? | 03:53 |
| Bookman | *usual | 03:53 |
| Reitz_ | how do you upgrade it? | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | rebel: perhaps claify what youa re trying to do - to the channel | 03:53 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, I'm ultimately going to have 9.04 anyways, lol | 03:53 |
| Reitz_ | how do i upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 | 03:53 |
| rocky | I just didn't have the live cd on hand at the time | 03:53 |
| binMonkey | hi, guys. i'm trying to make a launcher for an executable in my home directory. the path is ~/programdir/./program. but it does not work. | 03:53 |
| arand | rebel: well sda shouldn't be mounted, since it represents the whole drive, however sda# (where # is the number representing the partition) should be mounted. | 03:53 |
| Reitz_ | or 8,10 to 9.04 rather | 03:54 |
| nmatrix9 | hey guys | 03:54 |
| matyo | rocky can you check your private chat pls | 03:54 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: I just tried evolution and it crashes. I just reinstalled it yesterday. | 03:54 |
| nmatrix9 | anyone here use RocketRaid controllers | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | binMonkey: make it use /home/username/program/program NOT ./program like you had it... | 03:54 |
| robbr | boston police!!! | 03:54 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: then just install 9.04 | 03:54 |
| nmatrix9 | if so anyone have problems using them with the latest kernel versrion | 03:54 |
| RudyValencia | Hi, how do I set up Ubuntu 9.04 to mount my Windows shares? | 03:54 |

| rocky | youseenothing_, lol, ok | 03:54 |
| lostfoxeh | anyone help? | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | binMonkey: that extra . is confuseing things.. and the ~ shortcut is not a good idea to use in some cases | 03:54 |
| komies | Hi guys- anyone know off the top of their head a program that will read .lit ebook files, without being hard for me to install? I'm pretty fail at the actual technical stuff. | 03:54 |

| rocky | THEN we will see if I still need driver help | 03:54 |
| rebel | Dr_Willis: well.. I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 and when I do a first boot it gives me error 22: no such partition.. so when i get to the edit menu it says (hd6,0) for my MBR which is correct but if I select it it doesnt work.. but if I select (hd0,0) and hit B it boots | 03:55 |
| Reitz_ | CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THE UPGRADE PLEASE? | 03:55 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, this will take a good hour or two | 03:55 |
| binMonkey | Dr_Willis: thanks. i'm trying that now. | 03:55 |
| AK|vape | Hey, guys! How do I check whether Ubuntu is blocking a specific port? I read somewhere that Ubuntu blocks ports by default...? | 03:55 |
| Out_Cold | Reitz, what's your problem? | 03:55 |
| jasmuz | Reitz, what is your issue? | 03:55 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: if you still need help then come back and let me know...i should still be on | 03:55 |
| Jeruvy | lostfoxeh: can you pastebin the result of ifconfig? | 03:55 |
| rebel | arand: well.. I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 and when I do a first boot it gives me error 22: no such partition.. so when i get to the edit menu it says (hd6,0) for my MBR which is correct but if I select it it doesnt work.. but if I select (hd0,0) and hit B it boots | 03:55 |
| Reitz_ | I burned it to a cd, but when i try to run it, it says the autorun program isnt there | 03:55 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: No, and now my mail is all gone yet again | 03:56 |
| Out_Cold | Reitz, you are not upgrading from synaptic?? | 03:56 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, okay | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | rebel: some times depending onteh bios/layout if you have more then 1 hard driev.. the one that boots.. BECOMES hd0, and the rest sort of reorder... | 03:56 |
| Reitz_ | out_cold: what? | 03:56 |
| jasmuz | Reitz, did you check the MD5 checksum before burning? | 03:56 |
| youseenothing_ | Bookman: odd, have you checked to see if there is anything in the logs regarding the crashes? | 03:56 |
| lostfoxeh | paste been? like copy paste into irc or do you mean make a file? | 03:56 |
| Reitz_ | no | 03:56 |
| Reitz_ | i dont know what that means | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | AK|vape: ubuntu blocks no ports by default that i know of. | 03:56 |
| Reitz_ | im pretty new to this | 03:56 |
| Out_Cold | Reitz, you should upgrade from synaptic package manager... not a burnt cd | 03:56 |
| Reitz_ | ok | 03:57 |
| Reitz_ | how do i do that? | 03:57 |
| Out_Cold | it's in system menu | 03:57 |
| Reitz_ | ok | 03:57 |
| jasmuz | Reitz, give me a private message i will guide you | 03:57 |
| Out_Cold | you need to go to sources something.. | 03:57 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, what do you think the odds are that a d-link wireless pci card will have of working right away on 9.04 :D | 03:57 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: which log would you like me to check. I've looked and there is nothing reported. | 03:57 |
| Out_Cold | select sources? | 03:57 |
| Reitz_ | ok | 03:57 |
| binMonkey | Dr_Willis: that didn't work i get: ERROR in lua_call while calling 'meta_display'. | 03:57 |
| AK|vape | Dr_Willis: I'm trying to determine whether Ubuntu is blocking my ports because my BT clients report port issues, regardless of whether I open them on my router. | 03:57 |
| rebel | Dr_Willis: so how would I go about fixing my MBR so I can always boot from the correct disk? I went into grub and tried find /boot/grub/stage1 and then root (hd0,0) but it returned an error | 03:57 |
| rocky | I'm hoping to turn this computer into some sort of multimedia comp | 03:57 |
| dash9 | Hi, I have a problem, in system-settings -> Appearance, I have only "Icons" and "Emoticons", why am I missing "Style" ? | 03:57 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: not sure because i never had one but i would say that there is a fair chance it works out of the box | 03:58 |
| Out_Cold | rocky, that's a fun idea... good luck | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | rebel: if hd0,0 works.. then edit menu.lst to make that change permenet | 03:58 |
| arand | rebel: hmm... mbr is almost always installed on hd0,0 it's the "bootloader" which the mbr points to which may reside somewhere else, usually on the concerned operating system partition | 03:58 |
| Jeruvy | !hcl | rocky I'd say pretty good | 03:58 |

| sk381 | anyone have experience with VirtualBox? | 03:59 |
| owen1_ | and also "Disk /dev/sdf doesn't contain a valid partition table" any ideas? | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | rebel: or just do the change by hand once.. then look in /boot/grub/menu.lst once it boots | 03:59 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: I see a lot of segfaults | 03:59 |
| Out_Cold | Reitz, did you find it? | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | AK|vape: check 'sudo iptables --list' see if you have any rules enabled | 03:59 |

| lostfoxeh | but via wire i can't get past the router to the internet...my other computer can though so i don't think it';s the router | 04:06 |
| Guest87040 | how do i tell wich version ubuntu im rnning? | 04:06 |
| dsdeiz | hmm, is there a gtk theme that looks similar to windows classic? | 04:06 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: No worries, you tried. I will go back to XP for the time being | 04:06 |
| [Soap] | does that mean it's at least "on" ? | 04:06 |
| sk381 | Ahadiel - where do I look for that option? | 04:06 |
| coleys | Guest87040: uname -a | 04:06 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: that is not the only thing to look at | 04:06 |
| Guest87040 | ty | 04:06 |
| coleys | [Soap]: Have you restarted? | 04:07 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: pastie the output so i can see it | 04:07 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: what ae you trying to do | 04:07 |
| coleys | [Soap]: if so type, ifconfig eth1 up | 04:07 |
| [Soap] | there doesnt seem to be any kind of network configuration tool | 04:07 |
| lostfoxeh | how do I ping, still learning the linux cmd prompt | 04:07 |
| weedar | gogeta1: I know which laptop (HP 8510w) - what is a good place to start in my quest for a more silent laptop? | 04:07 |
| Out_Cold | wow.. cfdisk is one friendly app.... | 04:07 |
| coleys | lostfoxeh: ping location | 04:07 |
| [Soap] | it recongizes that i have a card but it says its never been used | 04:07 |
| gogeta1 | coleys: that dos not work for wireless | 04:07 |
| [Soap] | i'll try that if thing now | 04:07 |
| coleys | lostfoxeh: ping google.ca | 04:07 |
| Flynsarmy | I installed firefox-3.5 and in /usr/bin i changed the 'firefox' link with ln -s firefox-3.5 firefox...now when i type 'firefox' into a terminal window it'll successfully load shiretoko but when i type it into alt+f2 run window it does nothing. Why? | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: i kno fdisk so well.. i find cfdisk annoying. :) | 04:07 |
| [Soap] | wait. why would it be eth1? | 04:07 |
| Ahadiel | sk381, System -> Prefs => Appearance | 04:07 |
| [Soap] | this is wireless | 04:08 |
| Ahadiel | sk381, should be the right-most tab | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had wireless cards be eth1 befor [Soap] | 04:08 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: and the network configuration tool is right there at the top right like i told you...just right-click it and edit connections | 04:08 |
| OttifantSir | dsdeiz: With Windows Classic, do you mean 3.1, 95, 98, Me (lol), NT or XP? | 04:08 |
| lostfoxeh | it pings yahoo okay | 04:08 |
| [Soap] | youseenothing: I did open that, but there's nothing to edit | 04:08 |
| [Soap] | all it tells me is that the card exists | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | [Soap]: some how it depends on what wireless driver the card is using as to what 'name' it gets | 04:08 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, i dunno if i have disk errors or not.. but fdisk was not writing the partitions i wanted it to... | 04:08 |
| [Soap] | there's no "start connection" button or anything | 04:08 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: you have to add a connection profile | 04:08 |
| pelmen | anyone experiencing this messages ? | 04:08 |

| Out_Cold | yes Dr_Willis | 04:08 |
| pelmen | my log is flooded with them | 04:09 |
| NemesisD | anyone else? i'm not not even getting any errors with audio that I can see in dmesg, it just doesn't work | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: then younormally need to reboot to make the kernel see the changes | 04:09 |
| JoeM | god e2fsck is slow | 04:09 |
| Out_Cold | but the things it wrote... didn't seem to be valid partitions.. even without the FS | 04:09 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: Ubuntu seems very unreliable at the moment. I'm sure it will get better in the future....best of luck. | 04:09 |
| matyo | can please tell me how can install this intel gma 950 vga card to ubuntu 8.10 and put it to work please | 04:09 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: there is an Add button there. then you would need to enter the ssid and the encryption method and the key | 04:09 |
| gogeta1 | weedar: look like its just a issue with that model laptop | 04:09 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, then i'd rebbot ;o) | 04:09 |
| gogeta1 | windows or linux | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: that sounds... bad.. as in the HD.. may be having issues | 04:09 |
| sk381 | Ahadiel -- this is in Ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| pelmen | funny thing they repeat in EXACTLY 2 minute intervals up to seconds | 04:09 |
| Jeruvy | lostfoxeh: ok. so what doesn't work ? | 04:09 |
| sk381 | I cannot load Ubuntu now | 04:09 |
| [Soap] | I dont have any of those things. It's just a basic wireless connection | 04:09 |
| youseenothing_ | Bookman: ubuntu is extremely reliable...so reliable i use it on every single machine i have | 04:09 |
| lostfoxeh | I'm going to try disconeting the wireless and pinging....I'll be back with ressults | 04:09 |
| [Soap] | well, there's an SSID | 04:09 |
| arand | rebel: I actually don't thing menu.lst is where the problem lies. If you know that ubuntu is installed on sda6 (for example) then you should run grub setup "sudo grub" and "root (0,5)" and "quit" (in sda6, "a6" turns into (0,5) a=first=0 and 6=sixth=5 {starting from 0}) | 04:09 |
| [Soap] | it was automatically detected | 04:09 |
| [Soap] | there's no encryption though | 04:10 |
| Ahadiel | sk381, yeah | 04:10 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, i think it's because it's previously encrypted disks.. I'm not too sure | 04:10 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: I beg to differ......here is one machine that does not work. | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: go hard core and use dd to 'zero' the drives then repartition? :) thats a bit extreme | 04:10 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: err do you have a gui i told you wicd can handel it | 04:10 |
| [Soap] | but anyway, my problem is not about that dialog. It's just that there's no way to actually configure the connection that I can see | 04:10 |
| youseenothing_ | Bookman: it seems that you just have something weird happening... | 04:10 |
| Guest87040 | is karmic a different kernal version? | 04:10 |
| Ahadiel | sk381, let me boot up my Ubuntu VM and check just to be sure :D | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest87040: yes it will be | 04:10 |
| Bookman | youseenothing_: In Ubuntu....not in windows | 04:10 |
| JoeM | bookman what's the problem? I'm the master at strange setups... they can take a bit to get working, but always work in the end | 04:11 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, is that still safe with the MBR? because i was about this close to doing so.... this close ---> >< | 04:11 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: paste me the output of iwconfig <interface> | 04:11 |
| lostfoxeh | well the irc still works I think...anyone able to read my message?....but the browser still is unable to connect withthe wireless out | 04:11 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, I'm getting "buffer i/o errors" | 04:11 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: and iwlist <interface> scan | 04:11 |
| arand | rebel: sorry, correct sequence should be "sudo grub", "root (0,#)", "setup", and then, "quit" | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: that will zero out the mbr also.. unless you use some optiosn to dd.. :) ive only had to zero a disk a few times... | 04:11 |
| lostfoxeh | also to add more odditys the torrent connects withthte wired ip and not the wireless | 04:11 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: wow, really, sounds like fun! | 04:11 |
| rocky | lool | 04:11 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing and your doing all that why | 04:11 |
| Bookman | JoeM: I seem to be crashing and losing my evolution email. | 04:11 |
| Out_Cold | does the disk act normal though after?? or have i erased the possible mbr space? | 04:12 |
| [Soap] | iwlist wlan0 scan says 12/100 | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: ive dont it on some machines/drives i was about to give away/or gotten as gifts | 04:12 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta1: because i want to make sure he is connecting and actually associating | 04:12 |
| [Soap] | and a noise level of 0 | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: you dd/zero it.. then repartiion/reformat as if it was new from the store | 04:12 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing he whanted a manager not if it worked | 04:12 |
| [Soap] | I cant paste btw | 04:12 |
| youseenothing_ | please pastie the entire output [Soap] | 04:12 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, i might just do that then.. | 04:12 |
| [Soap] | i suppose I should say that now so people dont get frsutrated | 04:12 |
| [Soap] | this is a different computer | 04:12 |
| cattellar | i just screwed up my PATH varaible ... what's the correct path? | 04:12 |
| [Soap] | so there's no way for me to paste it | 04:12 |
| Ahadiel | sk381, System -> Preferences -> Appearance, then the "Visual Effects" Tab. | 04:13 |
| JoeM | bookman hmm, when I was running 32bit 8.10 evolution would crash (or freeze) randomly, never lost anything though. I take it you tried the simple "sudo apt-get remove --purge evolution;sudo apt-get install evolution" already? | 04:13 |
| [Soap] | Im just copying it by hand | 04:13 |
| Out_Cold | serves me right for doing the guided encrypted installation and not paying attention | 04:13 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta1: the manager is there...he can't connect | 04:13 |
| lostfoxeh | I'm thinking I have a issue with firefox it's self and it doesn't like my wired connection...any ideas onhow to test to see if this is true? | 04:13 |
| matyo | can any body tell me from where i can get what i drivers im using at moment in my ubuntu ? | 04:13 |
| matyo | and how i can change them | 04:13 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing at 12% it probly whont | 04:13 |
| Whirmon | hi | 04:13 |
| rebel | arand: actually I may have got it by editing the menu.lst to (hd0,0) from (hd6,0) | 04:14 |
| TuxedoBond | I followed this guide: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem --- I'm up to the part that says "now start the installer", so I closed out the live cd and started the minimal cd for the install. I'm at the partition window but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next. | 04:14 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta1: he may be trying to assoc with a rogue ap...hence why i want to make sure he is assoc with what he thinks he is | 04:14 |
| Bookman | JoeM: yes | 04:14 |
| youseenothing_ | by rogue i mean one around him other than his | 04:14 |
| donavan_ | can some one help i got x working again but my toolbars and everything are gone what do I do | 04:14 |
| [Soap] | is 12% very low? | 04:14 |
| youseenothing_ | yes | 04:14 |
| [Soap] | ok | 04:14 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing wicd is your frend lol being it uses iwconfig to connect | 04:14 |
| dufflebunk | I have a bit of an odd problem. I installed ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop, but it won't run the startup script unless I hold down the alt key. Has anyone had that happen before? | 04:14 |
| JoeM | bookman ok, anything show up in your syslogs (messages/kernel/daemon most lilkely) around the time of the crash? | 04:15 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta1: most managers use iwconfig in the background | 04:15 |
| Bookman | JoeM: nope | 04:15 |
| lostfoxeh | leave | 04:15 |
| [Soap] | well, it tells me what the access point is | 04:15 |
| lostfoxeh | umm oops | 04:15 |
| Bookman | JoeM: sorry, segfaults | 04:15 |
| Bookman | Want access? | 04:15 |

| Bookman | JoeM: pm | 04:15 |

| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: is the ssid it shows the correct one? | 04:15 |
| OttifantSir | lostfoxeh: I would try installing another browser, such as Galeon, Midori, Opera, Lynx, Epiphany to check if the browser is the problem. | 04:16 |
| TuxedoBond | Am I supposed to change each volume under LVM to "use as: Ext3" and then change the mount point for each to /, /home, swap? | 04:16 |
| lostfoxeh | good idea, I like it | 04:16 |
| [Soap] | I have no way of knowing which is the correct one | 04:16 |
| [Soap] | it says 'lollipop' which is the name of the router I have | 04:16 |
| === cee_cuteezz is now known as cWo_druMemr | ||
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: ok...and is that close by because the signal is really weak | 04:17 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: then thats yours | 04:17 |
| Flynsarmy | I installed firefox-3.5 and in /usr/bin i changed the 'firefox' link with ln -s firefox-3.5 firefox...now when i type 'firefox' into a terminal window it'll successfully load shiretoko but when i type it into alt+f2 run window it does nothing. Why? | 04:17 |
| [Soap] | I live in a house with thick walls. Im not surprised that the signal is weak | 04:17 |
| [Soap] | but I have another computer right next to it and it has Internet | 04:17 |
| iMatter | Im back again, but today im here to try and help with a specific problem, Does anyone in this channel have problems with no audio, or a buzzing like sound?, or Both like when theyre playing music they hear like beads dropping instead of whatever theyre playing? | 04:17 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: i would go in the roughter config and oost the single | 04:17 |
| [Soap] | also, half the problem is probably the adapter | 04:17 |
| gogeta1 | boost | 04:17 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: i agree with gogeta1 if your router allows for that | 04:18 |
| [Soap] | but no, I dont mind having a "bad" connection | 04:18 |
| [Soap] | right now I have no connection at all | 04:18 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: moat are set at only half power | 04:18 |
| gogeta1 | most | 04:18 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: you can reconfig the roughter with any connected pc | 04:18 |
| [Soap] | so you all are saying that you think the connection is basically working and just is so weak that it wont load any pages? Because I really cant see that being the answer | 04:18 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: do you have an ip on your interface from your router? | 04:19 |
| [Soap] | there is a computer right next to the Ubuntu one that Im typing on right now | 04:19 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: a very weak wirreless can be dirt slow or just not give out a ip | 04:19 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: do an: ip a | 04:19 |
| Out_Cold | ^^ true story | 04:19 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: do you see an ip on your wireless int? | 04:19 |
| [Soap] | there doesnt seem to be an IP address | 04:20 |
| OttifantSir | Soap: If a connection is too slow, pages will time out and not load | 04:20 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: there is your first problem... | 04:20 |
| [Soap] | yeah but even a slow connection can usually do very basic things like ping | 04:20 |
| [Soap] | I cant even ping | 04:20 |
| eternal_p | hey all...i just hooked up a wireless N router...connecting at 2.4ghz, it will work for 30seconds, then freeze, then work, etc. if i swap it to G only...it is fine...any thoughts? | 04:21 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: you need an ip address before you can do anything on your network | 04:21 |
| [Soap] | right | 04:21 |
| [Soap] | but it's not able to get one for whatever reason | 04:21 |
| donavan_ | gnome isnt starting whats wrong with my computer | 04:21 |

| pelmen | eternal_p: which router is that ? | 04:21 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: watch the output and see if anything responds | 04:21 |
| eternal_p | wrt400n | 04:21 |
| [Soap] | it wont let me do that | 04:21 |
| pelmen | hmm | 04:21 |
| [Soap] | it says permission denied 3 times | 04:22 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: i would check the roughter config it sounds like its just not letting you on | 04:22 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: sudo dhclient <interface> | 04:22 |

| [Soap] | gogeta: I know, I hear you, but I just dont believe that. Every other computer Ive had on this router has worked fine | 04:22 |
| pelmen | i had same issue wiht dlink 655... i switched beacon interval to 300 seems to be better and DTIM to 5 | 04:22 |

| dsdeiz | what's the location of gtk-themes? | 04:24 |
| Dougdoug4 | I've been to the end of the world and back trying to get help connecting to the internet with ubuntu | 04:24 |
| [Soap] | anyway, to youseenothing, it typed out a few messages like DHCPDISCOVER and then DHCPOFFER | 04:24 |
| crunchbangben | I'm trying to install a distro over the top of an old one. Why is the installation telling me it cant remove system files from the old one? | 04:24 |
| [Soap] | and then finally DHCPACK | 04:24 |
| [Soap] | but it was a 192.168.1.102 | 04:24 |
| crunchbangben | I've also opted to format this time | 04:24 |
| [Soap] | not a "real" address | 04:24 |
| arand | [Soap]: And that is not reasonalbe? | 04:24 |
| Dougdoug4 | I've been to the end of the world and back trying to get help connecting to the internet with ubuntu | 04:24 |

| [Soap] | that actually did something | 04:25 |
| [Soap] | I can ping now | 04:25 |
| Out_Cold | Dougdoug4, wifi?? | 04:25 |
| Dougdoug4 | Yes | 04:25 |
| gogeta1 | LOl | 04:25 |
| arand | Dougdoug4: You are repeating yourself, and giving no info to work on... | 04:25 |
| gogeta1 | as i thought | 04:25 |
| Dougdoug4 | I have a wireless adapter that connects to a router | 04:25 |
| Dougdoug4 | I connect automatically with windows | 04:25 |
| gogeta1 | its just so weak getting a ip times out | 04:25 |
| Dougdoug4 | But I cant connect at all with ubuntu | 04:25 |
| Out_Cold | you mean doesn't connect? | 04:25 |
| Dougdoug4 | (dual boot btw) | 04:25 |
| [Soap] | thank you youseenothing | 04:26 |
| [Soap] | do I have to type "sudo dhclient <interface>" every time I boot the computer? | 04:26 |
| [Soap] | I would actually be okay with that, if it works reliably | 04:26 |
| Out_Cold | Dougdoug4, have you enabled multiverse and universe repositories? | 04:26 |
| x2 | Dougdoug4 what wireless card you using? | 04:26 |
| Dougdoug4 | errr | 04:26 |
| [Soap] | no more trouble than typing a username and password | 04:26 |
| Dougdoug4 | OUt_Cold I don't believe so | 04:26 |
| Dougdoug4 | And x2 how do I check? | 04:26 |
| arand | [Soap]: you could always make a script... ;) | 04:27 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: or add it to rc.d | 04:27 |
| x2 | Dougdoug4 is this a laptop your speaking of? | 04:27 |

| Out_Cold | Dougdoug4, if you update with the universe patches it may just 'automagically' work for you | 04:27 |
| gogeta1 | [Soap]: or use wicd like i said being you can adjust the timeouts | 04:27 |
| x2 | Dougdoug4 then look at the card is it Dlink serial #"s | 04:27 |
| === Knives is now known as Guest26033 | ||
| Dougdoug4 | err my adaptber is a netgear adapter | 04:28 |
| [Soap] | I will download wicd | 04:28 |

| Dougdoug4 | Out_Cold, universe patches? | 04:28 |
| crunchbangben | hi, do i have to manually delete system files on my root partition with terminal to format and install new distro over the top? | 04:28 |

| [Soap] | it seems to have worked | 04:28 |
| kitty_ | question, where do i find a compatibilities page for hardware, specifically ati mach64 based cards? | 04:28 |
| Out_Cold | you need to set up synaptic package manager | 04:28 |
| [Soap] | the icon in the corner still says Im not connected but I can ping and FTP | 04:28 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing yea it was as i said befor its just so weak ubuntu is timing out grabbing a ip | 04:28 |
| [Soap] | which is mostly all I need on this computer. It's not for general use | 04:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | FUCK | 04:29 |
| youseenothing_ | [Soap]: you shouldn't have to do that everytime could have been a fluke thing because sometimes my laptop does not pull an ip even though it associates correctly | 04:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | I just want to set up god damn INTERNET | 04:29 |
| Out_Cold | my tower wifi didn't work until i enabled those extra sources... then it automatically worked perfect | 04:29 |

| gogeta1 | youseenothing using wicd should fix him | 04:29 |
| OttifantSir | crunchgangben: Not usually. When you install a distro it wants to partition your drive, and that usually takes care of the formatting and deletion of old distro. | 04:29 |
| Out_Cold | open software sources from the system>preferences menu | 04:29 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing you can adjust the timeouts etc | 04:30 |

| Out_Cold | TuxedoBond, i am sitting in lvm trying to make my new drives.. | 04:30 |
| gogeta1 | it would fix alot | 04:30 |
| arand | Dougdoug4: you being impolite does not make people want to help you, we're all volonteers in here... Go to system (menu), administartion, software sources | 04:30 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, I'm gonna try to install now :/ | 04:31 |
| rocky | but this is getting annoying! XD | 04:31 |
| rocky | *sigh* | 04:31 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta1: i don't like to make adjustments or install something until i know it is truly needed...most of ubuntu works out-of-the-box | 04:31 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: good luck sir | 04:31 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing lol | 04:31 |
| rocky | lol | 04:31 |
| OttifantSir | TuxedoBond: I just followed the manual once and got it going, and it worked for a long time, until I lost the config-files. Might remember something. What's the problem? | 04:31 |
| rocky | youseenothing_, what SHOULD I do with the xinput thingy? | 04:32 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing i built my own soo i dont use gnome so wicd was the best option | 04:32 |
| TuxedoBond | I'm trying to install Ubuntu to an LVM partition. | 04:32 |
| kitty_ | anyone familiar with ati mach64 drivers for xorg? | 04:32 |
| crunchbangben | otti, yes, i thought so, then i forgot to OK format (im doing it manual/dual boot) so it didnt want to remove old files. next time i OK format but it gives me the same message. | 04:32 |
| youseenothing_ | rocky: nothing... | 04:32 |
| crunchbangben | I tried again; i think its work | 04:32 |
| crunchbangben | ing | 04:32 |
| rocky | lol | 04:32 |
| TuxedoBond | I have a 150MB partition for /boot, and three partitions under LVM for /, /home and swap. | 04:32 |
| Out_Cold | TuxedoBond, with the alt/server cd?? or manually | 04:32 |
| TuxedoBond | Yet I'm not sure how to install Ubuntu in those. | 04:32 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta1: well, i assume that most people in here that are new are using the default installation, which is why i go about it the way i do with them | 04:33 |
| gogeta1 | youseenothing base install built for lxde | 04:33 |
| Out_Cold | i gotta run guys... sorry.. | 04:33 |
| arand | Dougdoug4: there you should be able to enable some extra "Downloadable from the internet" software sources. | 04:33 |
| Out_Cold | good luck!! | 04:33 |
| ARMENIAN | how can i save a video that is in firefox, i tried using downloaderhelper but it doesnt detect it | 04:33 |
| epicreviews | can someone help me out with compiz... I just can't get it running | 04:33 |
| kitty_ | epicreviews which video card do you have? | 04:33 |
| arand | ARMENIAN: flashgot paired with curl or wget works nicely for me. | 04:33 |
| TuxedoBond | With the minimal cd. | 04:33 |
| TuxedoBond | I'm at the partition step and I've marked each LVM partition as having a mount point of /, /home and swap. | 04:33 |
| TuxedoBond | Not sure if that is the correct thing to do. | 04:33 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta1: those of us who are experienced users have our specific ways but the new guys normally go with the standard what you see when you install thing...know what i mean? | 04:34 |
| JoeM | trying to help someone out, random segfaults and hard freezes. First things that come to mind are failing RAM or failing PSU, anyone else thing of something? | 04:34 |
| epicreviews | kitty_: I don't have a video card, intel integrated graphics | 04:34 |
| kitty_ | well yes you do then | 04:34 |

| CSS_Guru | why is my kubuntus max resolution 800X600 | 04:45 |
| Ahadiel | epicreviews, Did you enable your video driver in System => Admin -> Hardware Drivers? | 04:45 |
| arand | ARMENIAN: well, some sites do manage to embed stuff very well, and probably intentionally makes it very hard to rip it down, did you try the flashgot "download all" option? | 04:45 |
| Sarge12 | When i open Display Preferences it causes CPU usage shoots up to 100% on one of my two cores. Other core % is low. Cores alternate with one always near 100% and the other hardly being used. Regardless to Drivers acricated or not | 04:45 |
| gogeta1 | epicreviews: using replace is kinda dated just go too apperance and effects and none | 04:45 |
| epicreviews | Ahadiel... how? | 04:45 |
| Ahadiel | epicreviews, I just told you. -_- | 04:45 |

| ARMENIAN | OttifantSir: u're the man, this was the simplest way, no extension even needed, thanks | 04:46 |
| [texas] | i'm an ass | 04:46 |
| kitty_ | google isn't helping me much | 04:46 |

| epicreviews | Ahadiel: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 04:47 |
| Ahadiel | epicreviews, can you try running glxgears in a terminal? | 04:47 |
| kitty_ | and i don't think the ati prioritary driver supports it | 04:47 |
| gogeta1 | kitty_: its in xorg by defult all oss drivers are | 04:47 |
| epicreviews | it works Ahadiel :D | 04:47 |

| CSS_Guru | im sick of this crap | 04:47 |
| Ahadiel | epicreviews, now do, glxinfo | grep direct | 04:47 |
| kitty_ | gogeta1, but its not working properly? got time to listen to my problem? | 04:47 |
| Ahadiel | CSS_Guru, try #kubuntu | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: the ati fglrx driver has 'removed' support for a lot of ati cards. so the OSS ati or radeon driver is whats used for most of theolder (and not so old cards) | 04:48 |
| arand | howie: the most likely explanation (as far as I can google) is that the driver might be wrong, for some or other reason... | 04:48 |
| CSS_Guru | #kubuntu | 04:48 |
| gogeta1 | CSS_Guru: slect admin and hardware | 04:48 |

| gogeta1 | just hit enable | 04:48 |

| epicreviews | @ Ahadiel direct rendering: Yes | 04:48 |

| Andorin | Guys, I'm in a bit of a bind. What started as trying to figure out why Deluge reports a network error has resulted in Deluge freezing when I start it (with no error messages, even in terminal). Earlier it was refusing to seed any torrents at all despite connected peers, and my ports still are not open. This happened after I set my router to DMZ to test whether it would give the network error. /Please/ help. | 04:51 |

| rebel | Dr_Willis: if I have 6 disks can I use all 6 as primary partitions or am i limited to 4? | 04:52 |
| CSS_Guru | Gogeta...is my graphics card old? | 04:52 |

| gogeta1 | CSS_Guru: i dont knoe | 04:52 |
| CSS_Guru | ... | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ananth: talk to the channel in whole sentences.. not lots of little lines. | 04:52 |
| Scunizi | rebel: you have 6 partitions or 6 harddrives? | 04:52 |
| gogeta1 | CSS_Guru: not a nivida user | 04:52 |
| kitty_ | Dr_Willis, is that what you're refering to | 04:53 |
| ananth | ok dr_willis | 04:53 |
| rocky | holly shit | 04:53 |
| CSS_Guru | I was using live cd, but shouldnt it still work? | 04:53 |
| rocky | I'm getting tired | 04:53 |
| gjndxmalcolm | gdhs | 04:53 |
| gjndxmalcolm | hi | 04:53 |
| rebel | Scunizi: I have 6 hard drives | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: that looks likt its loading the mach64 driver to me.. | 04:53 |
| tritium | rocky: language, please | 04:53 |
| rocky | tritium, sorry :) | 04:53 |
| CSS_Guru | ^ | 04:53 |
| gjndxmalcolm | is there any thing distro like niblex | 04:53 |
| rebel | Scunizi: I'm trying to do the software raid listed here http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=188 but i dont know what to format them as.. ext3 but primary or extended partitions? | 04:53 |
| tritium | rocky: no worries, thanks. | 04:53 |
| kitty_ | Dr_Willis, well i can't get it to goto a usable screen res using anything but fbdev and fbdev is only 16 colors or something | 04:53 |
| rocky | lol' | 04:53 |
| Scunizi | rebel: you can partition each harddrive with 4 primary partitions or each with 3 primary partitions and the 4th can be an extended.. in the extended you can add many more. | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | gjndxmalcolm: if you want to discuss other livecd/mini disrtos chat in #puppylinux - they use a lot of them in there. | 04:54 |
| rocky | cya later | 04:54 |
| Flynsarmy | I installed firefox-3.5 and in /usr/bin i changed the 'firefox' link with ln -s firefox-3.5 firefox...now when i type 'firefox' into a terminal window it'll successfully load shiretoko but when i type it into alt+f2 run window it does nothing. Why? | 04:54 |
| ananth | i ve enabled sum configuration in combiz fusion..... next time i restart my pc.. i was entering into da os.. wen i was clicking on da screen i got only black screen | 04:54 |
| CSS_Guru | where are drivers for kubuntu at? | 04:54 |
| CSS_Guru | the url | 04:54 |
| rebel | Scunizi: perfect so all six can be primary partitions.. I hope it works with http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=188 | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: no idea on that. i dont use ati any more. You may want to hit google and check the ubuntu forums for that exact card | 04:54 |
| CSS_Guru | I need nvidia driver for kubuntu | 04:54 |
| kitty_ | Dr_Willis, if i use the mach64 driver (which what X -configure tells me to use) i just get a black screen with all the login noises and if i use automatic login, i can use vnc to get to the desktop, it looks fine but it just won't display anything on the monitor | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: thers not a tv out hooked up is there? ive had some ODD cards in the psat that defaulted to the tv out.. (i had sounds,, and so forth. but black screen.. till one day i turned on the tv) | 04:55 |
| Scunizi | rebel: good luck.. you might also research lvm .. might be an alternative to creating large space for files without using raid | 04:55 |
| OttifantSir | FlynsArmy: I don't know how to fix it, but it's probably because the Alt + F2 Run dialog depends on something called the PATHS variable, not the symlink. | 04:55 |
| kitty_ | Dr_Willis, i've had no luck at all hitting google for the card, all i get is results from 2004 and nothing relavant to my situation, and the ubuntu forums just have a bunch of people that can't ask questions right | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: this is a LCD or CRT monitor? | 04:55 |
| kitty_ | its an iMac it has a build in crt | 04:55 |

| rebel | thanks | 04:57 |
| epicreviews | ok I installed that simple-ccsm thing | 04:57 |
| OttifantSir | ananth: You might try asking the question in #compiz too. They are more knowledgeable in Compiz-issues | 04:57 |
| gogeta1 | Dr_Willis: lol you could have adjusted that with some grub commands | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | epicreviews: you may want to instgall ccsm also. :) | 04:57 |
| howie | i need a wireless driver for a hp pavilion zd7020us | 04:57 |

| b14ck | can someone please tell me what software i need to play a dvd from the drive? whenever i try to open it using vlc,mplayer/smplayer, it -always- fails | 04:58 |

This happened after I set my router to DMZ to test whether it would give the network error. /Please/ help. | 04:58 |
| b14ck | rainwalker, what restricted codecs? | 04:58 |
| Stik | ubuntu has an /etc/inittab? | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | $ ls -l /etc/inittab | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ls: cannot access /etc/inittab: No such file or directory | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Not here it dont | 04:59 |
| rainwalker | b14ck: the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" will enable a lot of things, but you also need to add the medibuntu repositories and install some stuff from there. hang on a sec, I'll find the page for you | 04:59 |
| CSS_Guru | nobody is helping me... | 04:59 |
| kitty_ | /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl | 04:59 |
| Stik | I know slackware still uses it | 04:59 |
| howie | gogeta1: admin hardware channel or site? | 04:59 |

| gogeta1 | howie: from the grub menu | 05:00 |
| b14ck | rainwalker, thanks. and it looks like i've already got that package installed, but i'll read that guide | 05:00 |
| sivel27 | hello all | 05:00 |
| rainwalker | CSS_Guru: I haven't used kubuntu very much; is there anything in the menus about hardware drivers? | 05:00 |
| epicreviews | ok figured that out, but I like the original compiz config... how do I get that? | 05:00 |
| [texas] | wheres a good place for widescreen wallpapers? | 05:00 |
| kitty_ | i feel like i fail @ getting my iMac running :( | 05:00 |
| sivel27 | i seem to be having quite a sound issue. it seems since the latest kernel upgrade. i have a laptop with ich6 soundcard, and ive tryed everything as far as simple sound adjustment goes, changing the sound pusleaudio, oss, etc.. i did boot into the live cd, and the sound worked. im at a loss for what else i can do to remedy the problem. | 05:00 |
| OttifantSir | Andorin: This is not recommended, and I might get a warning for saying it, but what I would do is to remove it, along with config files and trying to reinstall it. Unless you REALLY need your torrents' ratio and such. | 05:00 |
| E911 | This probably isn't the room to ask this question in but i'm going to anyway. does anyone know of a opensource program that does what adobe acrobat will do with pdf forms | 05:00 |
| CSS_Guru | people made ubuntu/kubuntu seem like the OS god, but now I see I cant even use the resolution I like, which brings it down to crap imo. | 05:00 |
| Scunizi | rainwalker: what are you looking for? | 05:00 |
| CSS_Guru | and nobody helps me | 05:00 |
| rainwalker | b14ck: the medibuntu repos are what you need to play dvds, I was just making sure you had the other stuff too | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: ppc linux on those things has always been flakey for me.. | 05:00 |
| howie | gogeta1: no i havent | 05:00 |
| rainwalker | epicreviews: install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:01 |
| kitty_ | its solid for me atm | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: plus the hardware on them is now real old..... | 05:01 |
| kitty_ | just can't get the glx stuff | 05:01 |
| Stik | vladstudio | 05:01 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: The very first thing you should do is try the ubuntu installer first though. Make sure linux-restricted-modules is installed then go to Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers and see if it's listed there to enable | 05:01 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: I don't need the ratios or settings or anything. Ratios are kept by my tracker. | 05:01 |
| rainwalker | kitty_: if you're trying to get ubuntu running on apple hardware, you shouldn't feel like a failure, you should feel pretty accomplished | 05:01 |
| epicreviews | rainwalker... think it's already installed | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | kitty_: ive never found a disrto thats worked on them very well.. ive given up trying actually. :) (its a doorstop) | 05:01 |
| kitty_ | actually, its like 4 years younger then my server hardware | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | CSS_Guru: yeah Windows is the OS Devil with most market share, and Ubuntu is one of the OS Gods or whatever. anyway did you install your graphics card driver? | 05:01 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: But when I run sudo apt-get remove deluge or purge, it says it's not installed. | 05:01 |
| gogeta1 | howie: give it a shot if thers a restreted driver ubuntu will ask you to enable it | 05:01 |
| Jeruvy | !info evince | E911 | 05:01 |

| CSS_Guru | @soreau I did that, but it failed | 05:01 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Oh, but you're on kubuntu.. so jockey will be in a different menu location | 05:01 |
| kitty_ | well mail it to me, i might have better luck :P | 05:01 |
| howie | gogeta1: oo yes i have | 05:01 |
| epicreviews | thanks all got it | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !find jockey | 05:01 |
| ubottu | Found: jockey-common, jockey-gtk, jockey-kde | 05:01 |
| rainwalker | Scunizi: I found it, I was finding the medibuntu page | 05:01 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Failed in what way exactly? | 05:01 |
| Scunizi | rainwalker: ah | 05:02 |
| CSS_Guru | i tried enabling it, but It left a giant fail message | 05:02 |
| gogeta1 | howie: then reboot for it to take effect | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | you can run the harware thing with 'jockey-kde' or 'jockey-gtk' :) no need for a menu item | 05:02 |
| howie | gogeta1: it only works for 10 mins then shuts off for a while randomly works | 05:02 |
| b14ck | rainwalker, so i just followed through the guide (skimmed it), and nistalled everything. what software can i use to play the dvds now? | 05:02 |
| rainwalker | CSS_Guru: in terms of linux distributions, ubuntu is widely said to have the best support and work the best (though there are exceptions), it's not guaranteed to work | 05:02 |
| OttifantSir | Andorin: Which version do you have? 1.1.6? If so, do sudo apt-get --purge remove deluge-core deluge-common deluge-torrent | 05:02 |
| gogeta1 | howie: i have that bug to its a bug in junty and ipv6 | 05:02 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: What did the message say? | 05:02 |
| kitty_ | !find portage | 05:02 |
| ubottu | File portage found in balazarbrothers, puppet, python-soya-doc, selinux-policy-dev, selinux-policy-doc (and 3 others) | 05:02 |
| CSS_Guru | i dont remember | 05:02 |
| howie | gogeta1: how did you fix it? | 05:02 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: 1.1.8. You helped me get it, remember? | 05:03 |
| gogeta1 | howie: i still havent | 05:03 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: So run jockey-kde again and read it | 05:03 |
| gogeta1 | howie: kernel issue | 05:03 |
| rainwalker | b14ck: you should be able to use the included player, totem, but I would recommend vlc | 05:03 |
| howie | gogeta1: ah damn | 05:03 |
| * kitty_ goes to register on the ubuntu forums *cries* | 05:03 | |
| b14ck | rainwalker, still doesnt work with vlc after installing that stuff :( | 05:03 |
| Sixtyfivebit | join #ubuntu-dev | 05:03 |
| howie | gogeta1: how do you put up with it randomly going out? | 05:03 |
| gogeta1 | howie: best i found waas recompling a kernel without ipv6 | 05:03 |
| rainwalker | kitty_: what exactly are you having trouble with? I don't know much about ubuntu on apple hardware but I can try to help | 05:03 |
| gogeta1 | i use wired | 05:03 |
| rainwalker | b14ck: what are you using? | 05:04 |
| b14ck | vlc | 05:04 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreau, it was on a live CD, would that make a difference? because I didnt want to install if my vid driver wouldnt work | 05:04 |
| Scunizi | !ipv6 | howie | 05:04 |
| ubottu | howie: For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 05:04 |
| pam | Jeruvy: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76646 | 05:04 |
| rainwalker | b14ck: odd...vlc has always worked perfectly for me | 05:04 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Yes, it does make a huge difference | 05:04 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: And it doesn't have those packages... it came in what I believe to be Python scripts that I had to install in a way I'd never done via the terminal. | 05:04 |
| gogeta1 | howie: you can try addingg ipv6=off to grub | 05:04 |
| howie | gogeta1: how do i do that | 05:04 |
| howie | scunizi: ty ill check out link | 05:04 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: First, you have to make sure you have a working internet connection. Second, after installing the driver you'd have to restart X, and not reboot | 05:04 |
| gogeta1 | howie: in /boot/grub/menu.list | 05:05 |
| arand | howie: does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx help you (looking around it seems like that could be the make of card you have for that computer...) | 05:05 |
| Flynsarmy | OttifantSir, typing 'firefox' used to work until i changed that symlink. now it does nothing when it shoudl load 3.5... | 05:05 |
| rainwalker | b14ck: is there anything, in vlc, under tools > messages? | 05:05 |
| OttifantSir | Andorin: Right. Don't remember everybody all the time. Well, I use 1.1.9 myself, installed from GetDeb, not source, so I'm sorry I gave you a tip that screwed you. Now... How to solve it? Let me do a bit of checking around for a moment or two.... | 05:05 |
| b14ck | rainwalker, i'll check now | 05:05 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreau, do I have to install it? because id rather test, than actually have to reinstall windows if it fails | 05:05 |
| gogeta1 | howie: add ipv6=off to the kernel line you will see stuff like splash slient etc | 05:05 |
| rainwalker | b14ck: or if anything, I guess you could try logging in again or even rebooting, I don't know if it needs a sort of refresh or not | 05:05 |
| b14ck | rainwalker, | 05:05 |
| b14ck | ok | 05:05 |
| b14ck | :?) | 05:05 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: No, you don't have to install to disc but installing proprietary drivers requires you know a thing or two about linux and installing graphics drivers | 05:06 |
| gogeta1 | howie: in fact i should myself | 05:06 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Especially from a live session, it can present a challenge | 05:06 |
| OttifantSir | Flynsarmy: That's only when using the Alt + F2 Run dialog, right? If that's the case, then I believe it has something to do with something called the PATHS variable. I don't know more than that, I'm afraid. But that's something you can google. | 05:06 |
| marks256 | i get a PXE-T01 file not found error when trying to boot my thin client. I installed using the alternate install of ubuntu 64 9.04 | 05:07 |
| CSS_Guru | ugh... | 05:07 |
| marks256 | any ideas? | 05:07 |
| howie | alright gonna try all those suggestions out brb | 05:07 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: No problem, take your time. | 05:07 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: You do however, have the option of installing ubuntu next to windows on the same disc and having a choice to boot from either when you start your machine | 05:07 |
| marks256 | oh. i'm using LTSP | 05:07 |
| gogeta1 | howie: just add it after splash | 05:08 |
| kitty_ | rainwalker, i'm having problems with xorg and the mach64 driver | 05:08 |
| gogeta1 | howie: see if that hels | 05:08 |
| gogeta1 | helps | 05:08 |
| KillGorack | my adobe flash player does not work.. any thoughts? | 05:08 |
| rainwalker | kitty_: gah...I've never heard of or messed with either of those :( | 05:08 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: how did you install it? | 05:08 |
| OttifantSir | Andorin: Try checking this: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq#WheredoesDelugestoreitssettings | 05:08 |
| Jeruvy | pam: thanks...still strange what has occured if that is true. | 05:08 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreau: Id rather not do that. I just want to test my vid driver on kubuntu, before I make the switch to kubuntu. | 05:08 |
| pam | Jeruvy: yeah, will answer, still lost on my side :) | 05:09 |
| marks256 | i get PXE-T01 file not found when trying to boot a thin client using LTSP from a stock ubuntu install w/ LTSP mode | 05:09 |
| KillGorack | rainwalker: a deb file | 05:09 |
| bullgard4 | [Jaunty] I have got a loadable kernel module 'snd'. Is the associated source code file /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.28/sound/oss/msnd.c? | 05:09 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: from where? | 05:09 |
| KillGorack | adobe website | 05:09 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: and does it show up in the list in firefox when you type "about:plugins" in the url bar? | 05:09 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: What am I supposed to do in here? | 05:09 |
| Jeruvy | pam: you're not alone :) | 05:10 |
| [texas] | why does Samba show shares that arent actually shared on the windows computers? | 05:10 |
| Andorin | Also, quickly: Guys, sudo iptables -F is how you temporarily disable iptables, right? | 05:10 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Ok, well first you have to make sure you have a working internet connection from your live session. Next, run 'sudo jockey-kde' or use the installer (they're the same thing) and install the driver. Finally, when it asks you to reboot, you have to drop to a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and restart X (sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart) | 05:10 |
| KillGorack | url bar? | 05:10 |
| CSS_Guru | Kubuntu at a resolution of 800X600, really scares me | 05:10 |
| [texas] | like it shows C$, D$ and E$ | 05:10 |
| marks256 | i get PXE-T01 file not found when trying to boot a thin client using LTSP from a stock ubuntu install w/ LTSP mode | 05:10 |
| alpalo | helo | 05:10 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: in firefox, the bar at the top with the website in it | 05:10 |
| gogeta1 | CSS_Guru: to add a res add the mode to your xorg.conf manuly if ubuntu didnt auto set it | 05:11 |
| OttifantSir | Andorin: With the link I provided you, you mean? That's an explanation on how to reset Deluge's settings to default which will, according to the site, sometimes fix it if doesn't start.

| marks256 | i get PXE-T01 file not found when trying to boot a thin client using LTSP from a stock ubuntu install w/ LTSP mode. Anybody have a solution? | 05:12 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreau: I have a working internet connection but last time I tried enabling the nvidia driver, it failed. | 05:12 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: Okay, how do I remove these files via terminal? I don't think Nautilus will let me into that directory. | 05:12 |
| Dr_Willis | [texas]: shares with $ are real shares.. they are normally hidden. | 05:12 |
| KillGorack | rainwalker Shockwave Flash does.. | 05:12 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: In that case, you'd have to relay the message here , or read it and see why it's failing | 05:12 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Which card model is it specifically? | 05:12 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: what version? | 05:12 |
| CSS_Guru | ok Ill retry my live cd and come back here in a minute k? | 05:13 |
| [texas] | Dr_Willis, oh okay, thank you, i was just snooping around the pop's computer | 05:13 |
| KillGorack | rainwalker Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 | 05:13 |

| Decessus | Andorin, just gk sudo nautilus | 05:13 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreau: its an Nvidia geforce 6100 | 05:13 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: hm...adobe's site should have given you flash 10 | 05:13 |
| zer0ne | KillGorack install flashplugin non-free i would guess | 05:13 |
| arand | Could someone please help me confirm Bug #327399 ? Steps to reproduce is 1. Install awn using add/rem from main menu. 2. Try to remove awn using the same. | 05:13 |
| * Dr_Willis cringes anytime someone suggests running Nautilus as 'root' | 05:13 | |
| OttifantSir | Andorin: Yes, Nautilus will do that. In your home-folder, press Ctrl + H to show hidden files. If you want to completely delete the folder without going in the Trash-bin, right-click it, then hold down Shift while clicking Move to Trash. | 05:13 |
| gogeta1 | Dr_Willis: who did that | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | gogeta1: someone die.. i mised it. | 05:14 |
| KillGorack | if I "right" click the clip I try to see it's using "Swfdec 0.8.2".... not sure what that means | 05:14 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Decessus | Andorin, just gk sudo nautilus | 05:14 |
| gogeta1 | lol | 05:14 |

| marks256 | i get PXE-T01 file not found when trying to boot a thin client using LTSP from a stock ubuntu install w/ LTSP mode. Anybody have a solution? | 05:14 |
| tswicegood | hello - I'm trying to compile node.js which has a 32-bit dependency on an x64 machine... I have the i386 libstdc++ package installed, but the installer doesn't recognize it. I get http://pastie.org/542130 then I try to compile... any ideas? | 05:14 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: ah, well first install flash from that link, then after you do that open up synaptic package manager and uninstall any swfdec packages | 05:15 |
| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: I didn't. I just explained how to show hidden files in the home-folder. I don't recommend running Nautilus as root. I know what a safety-hazard that is. | 05:15 |
| KillGorack | aight.. | 05:15 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: actually, just install that flash package first, then see if flash works | 05:15 |
| rainwalker | KillGorack: if it still doesn't, then try uninstalling the swfdec packages | 05:15 |
| fetusbubble | OttifantSir: just curious, what is the hazard? you might accidentally delete a vital directory/file? | 05:16 |
| KillGorack | gotcha | 05:16 |
| wapko | you can see hidden files in nautilius by pressing ctrl+h | 05:16 |
| marks256 | i get PXE-T01 file not found when trying to boot a thin client using LTSP from a stock ubuntu install w/ LTSP mode. Anybody have a solution? | 05:16 |
| Andorin | OttifantSir: Nope, I wiped everything in the folder and it still freezes on startup. | 05:16 |
| gogeta1 | OttifantSir: and using debborphin can just remove dead libs and configs for you | 05:16 |
| gogeta1 | :) | 05:16 |
| smerffus | hallo | 05:18 |
| howie | gogeta1: so i can just had ipv6=off by itself after the splash ? | 05:18 |
| OttifantSir | fetusbubble: When you are using Nautilus, you aren't as precise as when running a terminal. You can hit Ctrl + A for instance and press Shift + Delete while by accident while in / Then you're truly messed up;-) | 05:18 |
| gogeta1 | yea just a space and ipv6=pff | 05:18 |
| gogeta1 | off | 05:18 |
| marks256 | i get PXE-T01 file not found when trying to boot a thin client using LTSP from a stock ubuntu install w/ LTSP mode. Anybody have a solution? | 05:18 |

| JoeM | Nvidia + two GPUs + Xinerama + TwinView = No go on Compiz (RANDR error), any work around besides NOT using Xinerama? | 05:20 |
| matyo | thats why im still here | 05:20 |

| howie | gogeta1: im just courious on the placement | 05:20 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: did you get your 4 monitors working the other night? | 05:20 |
| arand | matyo: are you looking for a specific driver? | 05:20 |
| gogeta1 | howie: kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic root=UUID=799ab73a-91e7-414f-a7f4-2e28ae10dc6d ro quiet splash ipv6=off | 05:21 |
| JoeM | scunizi yes, minus I can't use Compiz and a couple other things because of that RANDR error | 05:21 |
| matyo | normally yes but i cant get a list of what drivers i use at moment and i dont know how i can change them | 05:21 |

| brunokrebs | hi there | 05:21 |
| matyo | my 3d is dont working at moment i must set a intel gma 950 vga driver | 05:21 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: arg.. I wish you luck on that one.. I haven't been there yet. | 05:21 |
| JoeM | scunizi my research says it's because of Xinerama, but can't find any good workarounds... though I hit the slot machines for 4k USD yesturday and bought me two new 26" monitors for my main two displays... might not need Xinerama anymore | 05:21 |
| Blac3 | i got black screen in my desktop | 05:22 |
| soreau | JoeM: You can't use twinview and xinerama with compiz because it will disable compositing for your X session | 05:22 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: congrats! Indian rez? Why do you want to activate Xinerama? | 05:22 |
| JoeM | soreau yeah, that's what I read... no fix besides don't do it? | 05:22 |
| brunokrebs | hi there, can anyone help me with a basic iptables question? | 05:22 |
| gogeta1 | matyo: the 950 has 3d thats news | 05:22 |
| soreau | JoeM: Just use the one that works? | 05:22 |
| Blac3 | hai can anyone help me i got black screen | 05:23 |
| matyo | yes is has | 05:23 |
| JoeM | scunizi before (with the smaller monitors) using both was the best way to get the most out of them, with these new bigger ones it might not be needed... but I'd still have to adjust things a little | 05:23 |
| KillGorack | rainwalker, thanks workin now.. | 05:23 |
| soreau | brunokrebs: ##networking might be a better place to ask, but shoot | 05:23 |

| matyo | type glxinfo | grep direct is not work for me :D | 05:28 |

| brunokrebs | then it says to accept all packets to www.google.com with a "iptables -A FORWARD -s mylocalip -d www.google.com -j ACCEPT" | 05:29 |

| OttifantSir | Andorin: Again, I'm sorry. I haven't done much compiling myself, so I don't remember how to remove programs installed from source like that.

GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 05:35 |

| Scunizi | marks256: from what you said it sounds like you have 2 wired connections and one wireless on one computer .. is that wrong? | 05:35 |
| n00bn00bn00b | So where is that ALLOW MAJOR DISTRO UPDATE Setting ? I search google, found nothing | 05:35 |
| soreau | ubuntu: Then maybe you will have to install the nvidia-glx package manually | 05:35 |
| n00bn00bn00b | trying to 8.04 to 9.04 | 05:36 |

| legend2440 | kitty_: you could try this xorg.conf especially the line DefaultDepth 16 http://techkrunch.co.cc/index.php/2009/06/23/how-to-get-3d-graphics-on-a-dell-cpx-laptop-with-linux/ | 05:37 |
| ubuntu | WARNING: dont get answers to questions by a person name :noobnoobnoob | 05:37 |
| ubuntu | lol jk | 05:37 |
| soreau | ubuntu: And after doing that, you have to open your xorg.conf and change the Driver line in the Device section to "nvidia" by running 'sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf' (note there may not be a driver line so you'd add the following to the Device section: Driver "nvidia" ) | 05:37 |
| Scunizi | marks256: so the one to the lan and the thin clients needs to provide internet to the thin clients? | 05:37 |
| planetary | why does my newly installed xubuntu 9.04 with compiz have trouble switching widows with the task list? | 05:38 |

| wapko | [texas]: macchanger is an option. u can apt-get install it | 05:38 |
| n00bn00bn00b | Oh nos, I have to upgrade to 8.10 first ? I can't just go straight to 9.04 ? | 05:39 |

| marks256 | Scunizi, i'm really not sure... all i know right now is that i need the lan to the thin clients to boot from PXE... so yes. i think internet will be going to the thin clients over it too | 05:39 |
| planetary | not me i have been using x,k,ubuntu for over a year now | 05:39 |
| quantolf | it says it had the kde frontend? does that sound right? | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | quantolf: if you used the kde 'hardware drivers' config tool.. it installs the same drivers as the ubuntu hardware-drivers config tool | 05:39 |
| soreau | quantolf: There is no 'kde version' of graphics drivers. There is however jockey-kde, the graphical installer for proprietary drivers. Which card do you have? (lspci|grep VGA) | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | quantolf: they install the same exact stuff | 05:39 |
| [texas] | do you think that get past the retarded MAC filtering on a router? | 05:39 |
| quantolf | yeah i think i did jockey-kde | 05:39 |
| quantolf | i have a radeon 9700 pro | 05:40 |
| MontelEdwards | Would a .flv generally be smaller then a .avi? | 05:40 |
| quantolf | i've been trying so many ways to get it working | 05:40 |
| Scunizi | marks256: then you need ics to bridge the connections between your connection and the thin clients.. check the link..it should help. I don't know the specifics of the how-to | 05:40 |
| ekimmargni | How can I split an ogg theora video into three parts? | 05:40 |
| planetary | if i am on a window and click another window that is on oanother workspace it doesnt switch over there | 05:40 |
| quantolf | i'm tryign to go direct w/ the s-video card to my tv so i can watch boxee on my tv | 05:40 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: I suspect he switched from open ati drivers to fglrx | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | MontelEdwards: theres flv to converters online/. try converting some videos and see? | 05:40 |
| tritium | [texas]: please don't ask about that here. SOunds like what you're trying to circumvent a system's security. That's offtopic here. | 05:40 |
| quantolf | i tried many faqs and guides w/o success | 05:40 |
| [texas] | just my dad's | 05:40 |
| [texas] | lol | 05:40 |
| MontelEdwards | Dr_Willis, not the point | 05:40 |
| marks256 | Scunizi, i'm more worried about getting internet on the server. i need to download a package, but i can't get interent on the server | 05:40 |
| Jasq | booting from liveusb, I cann't chroot, something like this: | 05:41 |
| Jasq | bash: xmalloc: cannot allocate 260385010342 bytes (0 bytes allocated | 05:41 |
| Jasq | any ideas | 05:41 |
| NibuleZ | server irc.barafranca.com | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | MontelEdwards: avi is just a container.. so the point is a bit pointless also... | 05:41 |
| soreau | quantolf: Simply use the installer to uninstall the drivers, make sure all fglrx packages are uninstalled if you don't have X, then reboot your machine | 05:41 |
| quantolf | before i did this one change the proprietary drivers for the ati card weren't even recognozed | 05:41 |
| quantolf | i can't access the gui | 05:41 |
| quantolf | how do i go in by terminal? | 05:41 |
| quantolf | *command line | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | quantolf: that card may not be supportee by the flgrx drivers any more | 05:41 |
| OttifantSir | MontelEdwards: In my experience it is, yes. FLV-files are usually smaller than AVI-files. | 05:41 |
| quantolf | is there anyway for me to use the s-video connection? | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: he aparently has no patience. :) | 05:41 |
| quantolf | that's my ultimate goal | 05:41 |
| soreau | quantolf: Use something like 'apt-cache search fglrx' and then completely remove --purge all those packages | 05:41 |
| zhjawe | hello,Does anyone know how to use command 'xrandr' rotate Xwindow to any angle? | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | tv out on ati - has been one of those not very well supported features over the last few years | 05:42 |
| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: I don't usually have much patience either, but I'm not THAT impatient... | 05:42 |
| quantolf | realyly? | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | zhjawe: i dont think it can do 'any angle' just 90 Deg rotations | 05:42 |
| quantolf | *really | 05:42 |
| soreau | quantolf: And yes, you can use S-Video with the open radeon drivers (which is what you were most likely using before this unfortunate mishap) | 05:42 |
| planetary | having problems with OSS4...... helps | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: Type faster next time! | 05:42 |
| quantolf | yeah how would i activate the s-video? | 05:42 |
| quantolf | i couldn't figure that one out either :\ | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !tvout | quantolf | 05:42 |
| ubottu | quantolf: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) | 05:42 |
| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: Can't! | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | quantolf: ive no idea on ati. | 05:42 |
| quantolf | herm | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: use a smaller font so it displays faster! | 05:43 |
| zhjawe | Dr_Willis: Thanks,Do you know what software can do that? | 05:43 |
| ubuntu | ? | 05:43 |
| soreau | quantolf: One step at a time. First, remove all fglrx packages and get X working. Then I will tell you how to activate S-Video out using xrandr | 05:43 |
| n00bn00bn00b | So I'm guessing there is no way around updating from 8.04 to 9.04 without burning a cd right ? | 05:43 |
| brunokrebs | sorry, just one very simple question | 05:43 |
| OttifantSir | Dr-Willis: .-p | 05:43 |
| n00bn00bn00b | I'm outta blanks :P | 05:43 |
| quantolf | ty how do i get into command line from booting up? | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | zhjawe: iver never notifed any software that can rotate a whole 'display' a variable amount. I cant even think why you would need to. | 05:43 |
| [texas] | n00bn00bn00b, they're like 5 dollars | 05:44 |
| gogeta1 | Dr_Willis: matyo has a instreting problem with his gbut not even ma 945 ubuntu sees it in lspci but even doing a reconfigure of x only ask for his keybord then closes its not seeing the card at all | 05:44 |
| [texas] | i got a 100 for 7 dollars | 05:44 |
| soreau | quantolf: From the GRUB boot menu, select fail safe session so it will boot to a root terminal | 05:44 |
| n00bn00bn00b | it's 12:44 am here :) | 05:44 |
| gogeta1 | gma | 05:44 |
| quantolf | ah ok ty | 05:44 |
| quantolf | *tries | 05:44 |
| [texas] | it's only 2144 | 05:44 |
| JoeM | my DVD Drive supports up to 22x, but none of the burning programs offer more than 8x... am I missing something? | 05:44 |
| [texas] | east coast you? | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | gogeta1: to 'reconfigure' x for me.. i normally just move the xorg.conf to xorg.conf-OLD and restart the X server. X so automatically congirues for me these days i rarely need a xorg.conf :) | 05:44 |
| n00bn00bn00b | maybe the 7/11 has some blanks lol | 05:44 |
| lit-one | JoeM: hi | 05:45 |
| [texas] | actually i think the mom and pop place down near camp pendleton does | 05:45 |
| === ubuntu is now known as CSS_Guru | ||
| n00bn00bn00b | Too bad I can't just upgrade straight to 9.04 via the internet | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | n00bn00bn00b: you could use unetbootin and make a bootable flash drive also... | 05:45 |
| gogeta1 | Dr_Willis: yra ita failing to even see the card | 05:45 |
| JoeM | lit-one hi | 05:45 |
| CSS_Guru | hi | 05:45 |
| gogeta1 | Dr_Willis: its using vesa modes | 05:45 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Ah, much better ;) | 05:45 |
| n00bn00bn00b | Hmmm that's a good idea willis thanks ! | 05:45 |
| === Severity2 is now known as Severity1 | ||
| Dr_Willis | n00bn00bn00b: you could be able to upgrade from one release to the next.. I never do so.. i perfer clean installs. | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgrade | 05:45 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 05:45 |
| gogeta1 | Dr_Willis: i have a 945 and its fine 3d and all | 05:45 |
| legend2440 | quantolf: amd has stopped support for radeon 9700. i had radeon 9600 and after upgrade to jaunty tv out stopped working for me too. i had to switch to nvidia card | 05:45 |
| CSS_Guru | uhm, now In my hardware menu, all items are grayed out... | 05:45 |
| n00bn00bn00b | me to, I don't mind if it's a clean install | 05:46 |
| n00bn00bn00b | I just only had this old cd laying around | 05:46 |
| lit-one | JoeM: what do you wanna use DVD | 05:46 |
| brunokrebs | if my firewall rules are empty, and I type "iptables -P OUTPUT DROP" this will revoke any rules about outputs that I might add after that? | 05:46 |
| zhjawe | Dr_Willis: i want to debug a gravity sensor program and need to rotate Xwindow. | 05:46 |
| quantolf | so even with open source drivers i'm sool? | 05:46 |
| [texas] | themes for xchat? | 05:46 |
| soreau | n00bn00bn00b: You will save yourself many headaches by backing up your important files and preforming a fresh, clean install | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | zhjawe: oh.. thats so logical... or not.. :) | 05:46 |
| gogeta1 | Dr_Willis: lol it just hit me i bet its off in his bios | 05:46 |
| byt3m3 | i cant output /dev/mem to file via dd as root | 05:46 |
| n00bn00bn00b | Just wonder if this junkbox can boot from usb ... | 05:46 |
| nmatrix9 | HighPoint makes the worst raid controllers ever | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | byt3m3: why are you even messing with /dev/mem ? | 05:47 |
| JoeM | lit-one burning data and movies (encoded to dvd format), I mean... 8x only takes a couple minutes, but if my drive can handle faster then that's what I want! :P | 05:47 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreaus: My hardware menu items are grayed out after I tried to install my NVIDIA(Recommended) twice | 05:47 |
| quantolf | legend2440: so w/ my 9700 pro and open source drivers i'm still shit out of luck? | 05:47 |
| n00bn00bn00b | thanks guys | 05:47 |
| n00bn00bn00b | brb | 05:47 |
| soreau | quantolf: No, you want to use the open source drivers. fglrx has dropped support for your card recently | 05:47 |
| quantolf | ah ok got ya | 05:47 |
| legend2440 | quantolf: if you want to use intrepid instead of jaunty tv out will probably work fine with the proprietary fglrx drivers. it did for me but i wanted to be ablre to use jaunty | 05:47 |
| zhjawe | Dr_Willis: hehe,thanks for you help,my English is poor. | 05:48 |
| quantolf | ok | 05:48 |
| quantolf | i'm in the command line | 05:48 |
| quantolf | what do i do to remove fglrx? | 05:48 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreau: grrrr | 05:48 |
| byt3m3 | i need to patch the bios on this machine | 05:48 |
| quantolf | i'm typing "apt-cache search fglrx" | 05:48 |
| quantolf | and getting error 27 enreckognized command | 05:48 |
| brunokrebs | not an easy question? | 05:48 |
| lit-one | JoeM: wow ,but can you do it? can't you watching online ? | 05:48 |
| soreau | quantolf: Now do 'dpkg -l|grep fglrx' | 05:48 |
| byt3m3 | Dr_Willis: i need it to patch my bios | 05:48 |
| tritium | byt3m3: you typically don't patch it. You flash a newer version. | 05:49 |
| JoeM | lit-one no, I have the ISO made, when I choose to burn it to DVD the only options I get are 4x and 8x, but my drive can support up to 22x | 05:49 |
| CSS_Guru | soreau: help me :( | 05:49 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: maybe 22x on cd .. maybe not on dvd | 05:49 |
| soreau | quantolf: Everything that has an 'ii' next to it, do 'apt-get remove --purge <pkg-name>' where <pkg-name> is the name of all the installed fglrx packages | 05:49 |
| quantolf | i think i'm doing something wrong | 05:49 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: What's the matter now? Where are you at? | 05:49 |
| JoeM | scunizi cd is 48x | 05:49 |
| byt3m3 | tritium: thanks for the advice. i need to output /dev/mem to fiale via dd | 05:49 |
| quantolf | at grub i hit Esc | 05:49 |
| quantolf | got the list of boots | 05:49 |
| quantolf | kernal....-genereic | 05:49 |
| quantolf | and that with *recovery mode) | 05:50 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: hummmm | 05:50 |
| quantolf | and at the bottom says c for command line | 05:50 |
| soreau | quantolf: Yes, boot into recovery mode first.. | 05:50 |
| quantolf | i hit c | 05:50 |
| quantolf | oh ok sorry | 05:50 |
| CSS_Guru | Soreau: my hardware in my hardware menu are now grayed out | 05:50 |
| soreau | quantolf: No, don't hit C | 05:50 |
| RudyValencia | What program(s) do I need to install for DVD video? | 05:50 |
| quantolf | booting up into recovery | 05:50 |

| marks256 | I have two ethernet interfaces. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get interent on it | 05:50 |
| byt3m3 | Dr_Willis, tritium: http://marcansoft.com/blog/2009/06/enabling-intel-vt-on-the-aspire-8930g/ | 05:50 |
| byt3m3 | thats why | 05:51 |
| lit-one | JoeM: maybe you have a some wrong choose with your DVD | 05:51 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: Really man, your hardware is adequately supported. It takes much much more time and effort to get this working in a live session since it's a proprietary driver, and a graphics one at that. | 05:51 |
| quantolf | ok i'm in root | 05:51 |
| quantolf | di dhte apt-cache serach fgrlx | 05:51 |
| quantolf | *searches for ywhat you said before( | 05:51 |
| quantolf | ** | 05:51 |
| FloodBot1 | quantolf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:51 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: It took me some time to get nvidia working in a live session and I am an experienced linux user | 05:51 |
| JoeM | lit-one I'm an idiot... the DVD itself doesn't support higher... I never thought to look there :P | 05:51 |
| CSS_Guru | soreau: what do you mean? | 05:51 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: I mean, it will be WAY easier to get your graphics drivers working once you install ubuntu | 05:52 |
| marks256 | I have two ethernet interfaces. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get interent on it. any ideas?? | 05:52 |
| brunokrebs | ok I found the answer to my question | 05:52 |
| brunokrebs | :D | 05:52 |
| JoeM | ok, here's another one... is vmware no longer in the repos (8.10 64 bit) I can't find it | 05:52 |
| CSS_Guru | ok soreau I guess ill have to risk it | 05:52 |
| Roark | So, i just upgraded to jaunty, and now my firefox cannot go back or forward, and it will not save my history. I've tried removing with from the command line with the --purge swtich, and manually uninstalling through the synaptic gui. No matter what i do, the problem re appears when i intall again. what gives? | 05:53 |
| Scunizi | !info vmware | 05:53 |
| soreau | CSS_Guru: My recommendation to you is to use the installer to resize and shrink your windows partition then install ubuntu next to it, so you have both to chose from | 05:53 |
| ubottu | Package vmware does not exist in jaunty | 05:53 |
| Roark | i googled and tried all solutions, still no joy. | 05:53 |
| mercutio22 | oh crap, I just set one of my machines to skip grub, and boot into ubuntu directly. I just messed up my video drivers and cannot select a different tty. How can I force a boot into recovery mode? | 05:53 |
| brunokrebs | !info vmware | 05:53 |
| ubottu | Package vmware does not exist in jaunty | 05:53 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: guess not.. player anyway.. the server has always been available via their site | 05:53 |
| RudyValencia | Can "restricted formats" be used by a home user legally? | 05:53 |
| gogeta1 | JoeM: virtulbox is a good alt | 05:53 |
| brunokrebs | how does this info works? | 05:54 |
| william56 | suppose i've just trashed my partition table with xp's fixmbr after using fixboot on whatever xp thought c: was; would restoring the old partitions from before fixboot wrote to c: thinking that it was fat; when in reality it was one of ntfs, swap, or ext3, lead to the ntfs drive being more easily recoverable? if i do not, then i will be using tools from the 8.04 repo | 05:54 |
| Scunizi | RudyValencia: depends on your country | 05:54 |
| wapko | mercutio22: try holding alt and prtscr, then press R E I S U B in that order | 05:54 |
| gogeta1 | JoeM: or you can get it from the vmware site | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | RudyValencia: does it matter? :) can a home user even do anything legally... ive seen some very weird arguemts about this in the past. | 05:54 |
| Roark | So, i just upgraded to jaunty, and now my firefox cannot go back or forward, and it will not save my history. I've tried removing with from the command line with the --purge swtich, and manually uninstalling through the synaptic gui. No matter what i do, the problem re appears when i intall again. what gives? | 05:54 |
| ekimmargni | What can I use to split ogg video files? | 05:54 |
| OttifantSir | RudyValencia: Depends on the laws in your country/region. | 05:54 |
| random1233513 | how do i change the permissions for all files that i will create from now on | 05:54 |
| RudyValencia | Scunizi: I'm in the USA, and only using them for personal use. | 05:54 |
| wapko | mercutio22: hold alt and prtscr while typing the letters | 05:54 |
| random1233513 | i thought that is was chmod --- | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | random1233513: i think the 'umask' command some how sets that. but ive never had to mess with it | 05:54 |
| Scunizi | william56: the xp fixmbr or fix boot just wipes grub out.. replaces it.. just reinstall grub and that should do it. | 05:54 |
| random1233513 | with no file name | 05:54 |
| Roark | wapko: is that even physically possible? | 05:54 |
| Scunizi | !grub > william56 | 05:54 |
| ubottu | william56, please see my private message | 05:54 |
| qdb | hello | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | random1233513: ive never seen that used that way befor | 05:55 |
| JoeM | gogetal what's the difference between vmware and virtualbox? I'd prefer to use something that's in the repos over manual install (easier to maintain) | 05:55 |
| marks256 | I have two ethernet interfaces. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get internet on it. any ideas?? | 05:55 |
| wapko | Roark: hehe :P | 05:55 |
| OttifantSir | RudyValencia: You should probably BUY the codec-pack from Fluendo to be safe ;-) | 05:55 |
| mercutio22 | wapko, that restarted the system | 05:55 |
| gogeta1 | JoeM: vmware offers debs | 05:55 |
| soreau | ekimmargni: A quick google search and I found this http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-free-open-source-video-editor-for-linux/ | 05:55 |
| random1233513 | what i want to do is set all the new files that i create to have the permissions as 744 | 05:55 |
| quantolf | ok | 05:55 |
| quantolf | removed and purged fglrx | 05:55 |
| mercutio22 | wapko, how do I get the terminal though? | 05:55 |
| Roark | i need joy. please help | 05:55 |
| Roark | i googled and tried all solutions, still no joy. | 05:55 |
| soreau | ekimmargni: You might want to use one that's already in the ubuntu repos | 05:55 |
| Scunizi | RudyValencia: personal, commercial.. doesn't matter here in the us.. unless you've paid the royalty for access it's suppose to be illegal.. however there is a gray area.. if you bought a machine with windows then part of that cost was the license | 05:55 |
| JoeM | gogetal virtual box will let me take my XP install disc and make a VM from it, right? | 05:56 |
| Roark | So, i just upgraded to jaunty, and now my firefox cannot go back or forward, and it will not save my history. I've tried removing with from the command line with the --purge swtich, and manually uninstalling through the synaptic gui. No matter what i do, the problem re appears when i intall again. what gives? | 05:56 |
| random1233513 | u know like chmod 744 [filename] | 05:56 |
| gogeta1 | JoeM: virtulbox is around the same in fact a bit better being 3 has d3d support | 05:56 |
| william56 | alright, thanks, scunizi; any ideas on how to make my windows xp ntfs partition that i enlarged during ubuntu installation bootable again? grub hangs indefinitely on it, where it goes fine loading ubuntu | 05:56 |
| soreau | quantolf: Now, reboot the machine and hopefully X will start right up | 05:56 |
| marks256 | I have two ethernet interfaces. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get internet on it. any ideas?? | 05:56 |
| qdb | can filter only lines that do not include a word in log viewer? i.e. is filtering's input text regex? | 05:56 |
| wapko | mercutio22: ohh. thought you wanted to boot and get grub again.. | 05:56 |
| JoeM | gogetal ok, I'll give that a try then, I just need it for testing code on XP | 05:56 |
| Scunizi | william56: nope | 05:56 |
| ekimmargni | soreau: Yes, but I don't really need to /edit/ the file - just split it... I suppose ffmpeg might have something small for that... | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | random1233513: umask can set the default 'mode' for all newly created files i recall | 05:56 |
| random1233513 | ok | 05:56 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: vbox is best.. get it from their site.. you'll have usb support | 05:57 |
| byt3m3 | my /dev/mem/ dd output= http://pastebin.org/1027 | 05:57 |
| random1233513 | Dr_Willis : thank you | 05:57 |
| soreau | ekimmargni: You probably could even do it in a clever script somehow.. though I wouldn't have the foggiest how to :p | 05:57 |
| gogeta1 | Scunizi: vmware has usb support lol | 05:57 |

| JoeM | scunizi no USB support with the copy from the repos? | 05:57 |
| Roark | help me please to experience the joy, | 05:57 |
| quantolf | x is booting :) | 05:57 |
| Roark | So, i just upgraded to jaunty, and now my firefox cannot go back or forward, and it will not save my history. I've tried removing with from the command line with the --purge swtich, and manually uninstalling through the synaptic gui. No matter what i do, the problem re appears when i intall again. what gives? | 05:57 |
| Roark | i googled and tried all solutions, still no joy. | 05:57 |
| FloodBot1 | Roark: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:57 |
| quantolf | *booted | 05:57 |
| mercutio22 | wapko, I don't get to see grub in the faulty machine. Is there a way to force it? | 05:57 |
| soreau | Roark: Did you have a question or problem concerning ubuntu? | 05:57 |
| Scunizi | gogeta1: JoeM no not from the repos.. and yes vmware has usb support but I was comparing the -ose repo version to the vbox site.. | 05:57 |
| Roark | yes :( | 05:57 |
| wapko | mercutio22: ahh, i see. try a live cd and see if you can work some magic with that | 05:58 |
| marks256 | I have two NICs. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get internet on it. any ideas?? someone please help :( | 05:58 |
| OttifantSir | RudyValencia: If you REALLY want to be safe, go here: http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/complete-set-of-playback-plugins/ | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | mercutio22: theres a option in menu.lst to hide the initial grub menu.. i think you can hit excape or c, to makeit appeear.. or boot up.. edit menu.lst then reboot | 05:58 |
| soreau | Roark: Sounds like you have permissions problem. Have you ever ran firefox as root or with sudo? You shouldn't, btw | 05:58 |
| DDaygold | when i use remote desktop viewer, the image doesnt refresh | 05:58 |
| Roark | my firefox is being mean. back not working, and not saving history | 05:58 |
| Roark | no, i never | 05:58 |
| Roark | root is the suck | 05:58 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: vbox is easier too.. I've used both.. vmware for 2 yrs and vbox for the last year or so. | 05:58 |
| JoeM | scunizi well, that's irritating... I kind of need USB support | 05:59 |
| gogeta1 | Roark: 3.5 is still not stable in ubuntu if thats what your using | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | vmware has gone a route.. that confuses me in its features/ussage. :) | 05:59 |
| soreau | Roark: What does 'ls -l ~/.mozilla' show? | 05:59 |
| marks256 | I have two NICs. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get internet on it. any ideas?? someone please help :( Anyone??? | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: the virtualbox from the vbox website has usb support. | 05:59 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: so get it from the vmware site.. they even have repos for ubuntu | 05:59 |
| JoeM | that's kind of a basic feature... why would the repo version not have it | 05:59 |
| Roark | im using the reg 3.0 package is | 05:59 |
| Roark | no beta or anything | 05:59 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: propriatory codec.. | 05:59 |
| Roark | ive trieed removing, even with the --purge switch | 05:59 |
| Roark | no joy | 05:59 |
| mercutio22 | Dr_Willis, I am afraid I can't reach the terminal to edit it | 05:59 |
| mercutio22 | uh oh | 05:59 |
| quantolf | soreau: i'm running through the Tvout guide from cchtml.com, that should get me set up? | 06:00 |
| JoeM | scunizi damn propretery crap | 06:00 |
| wapko | aww man.. i sat up all night again.. gf's gonna be so pissed when i sleep all day, again :P | 06:00 |
| soreau | Roark: Reinstalling wont help anything | 06:00 |
| soreau | quantolf: I am going to say no by default | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | mercutio22: so the sytem dosent boot at all? boot a live cd if ya want. and edit the file that way. is another option | 06:00 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: at least for when you're installing windows :( | 06:00 |
| quantolf | ok then i'll wait for when you're free | 06:00 |
| soreau | quantolf: First, did X start for you? | 06:00 |
| quantolf | yes | 06:00 |
| JoeM | scunizi I already started virtualbox before you said that, I'll give it a try and see if it meets my needs before I remove it and get the real copy... does it do MacOS too? | 06:00 |
| soreau | quantolf: Prefect. Now what is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? | 06:00 |
| JoeM | scunizi from the looks of it, I don't need my old install disc... | 06:00 |
| mercutio22 | Dr_Willis, its a netbook... no cds... I guess I will have to make a flash boot drive | 06:00 |
| Roark | well, i was using the default...i upgraded from a clean intrepid install and thats when t started | 06:00 |
| gogeta1 | JoeM: no only qemu can do non x86 | 06:01 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: just an iso and a key | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | mercutio22: i alwyas got a few ubuntu flash drives handy :) | 06:01 |
| casio2424 | Which is the website download the software the best? | 06:01 |
| soreau | Roark: Yech, dist-upgrades | 06:01 |
| soreau | Roark: What does 'ls -l ~/.mozilla' show? | 06:01 |
| gogeta1 | JoeM: nv lol forget macs are x86 | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | casio2424: clarify that question a bit perhaps? | 06:01 |
| casio2424 | Which is the website download the software the best? | 06:01 |
| soreau | ! best | 06:01 |
| 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. | 06:01 |
| casio2424 | ??? | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | casio2424: that question makes no sence.. what are you trying to do? | 06:01 |
| Scunizi | casio2424: synaptic package manager | 06:01 |
| JoeM | scunizi well, with the ose version I just said I want an XP version and it started loading it.. oh, I guess it figured out I had the disc in there without asking... my bad :P | 06:02 |
| quantolf | soreau: mesa dri r300 20060815 agp 8x x86/mmx+/3dnow!+/sse tcl | 06:02 |
| qdb | i think it do not support regex (log viewer) | 06:02 |
| casio2424 | I want to download some software | 06:02 |
| Roark | soreau: ed@oldtimer:~$ ls -l ~/.mozilla | 06:02 |

| gogeta1 | lol | 06:02 |
| soreau | quantolf: Great. now give me one sec, and plug in your svideo cable securely | 06:02 |
| gogeta1 | bad | 06:02 |
| casio2424 | but i don't go where | 06:02 |
| marks256 | I have two NICs. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get internet on it. any ideas?? someone please help :( Anyone??? | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | casio2424: yes.. and thats rather vague statement... theres lots of ways.places/software out there.. | 06:02 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: no there's a couple steps to create a vm.. first the the vm oriented for xp or win then there the actual install of the os | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | casio2424: You may want to learn about the Ubuntu Package manager system first. | 06:03 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: you're just creating the vm space for the install.. | 06:03 |
| casio2424 | can you give me the website? | 06:03 |
| soreau | Roark: Well it's not a permissions problem it seems. Do have enough disk space available? (df -h) | 06:03 |
| quantolf | soreau: k, take your time; s-video is plugged in securely-i've seen my comp post so i know it's connected | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt-get | casio2424 | 06:03 |
| ubottu | casio2424: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 06:03 |
| JoeM | scunizi yeah, I was just expecting it to ask for the install disc like vmware did, but it figured out it was in the drive without asking me... so it looked like it was installing without the disc | 06:03 |
| casio2424 | can you give me the website? | 06:03 |
| Roark | 5.2 gigs free | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | casio2424: there is no 'one' web site to download software.. Most linux disrtos use a package maanger.. it wortth reading about | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !training | casio2424 | 06:03 |
| ubottu | casio2424: 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 | 06:03 |
| marks256 | I have two NICs. eth0 is coming from wan, and eth1 is dhcp server to lan. downstream lan works (eth1), but i've lost conenctivity on eth0. it has an address, but i can't get internet on it. any ideas?? This is driving me nuts! | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | casio2424: you are thinking in the limited ways windows works. :) | 06:04 |
| casio2424 | Thank you | 06:04 |
| JoeM | so... to see if I understand this right, if I install the version from the website I should be able to get network support, dvd drive, sound, and usb (mainly webcam)? | 06:04 |
| marks256 | come on... :( i don't want to have to ask on a snail forum | 06:04 |
| gogeta1 | casio2424: no one roge hacker can kill are downloadss this isnt windows | 06:04 |
| gogeta1 | lol | 06:04 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: yep.. | 06:04 |
| JoeM | scunizi even better, I couldn't get the cam to work with vmware, and I need it for a language class I'm taking (bastards use activeX crap) so had to use my wifes laptop (only winbloze computer in the house) | 06:05 |
| casio2424 | My PC installed windows7 & XP & ubuntu | 06:05 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: from what I understand .. the repo -ose version just doesn't support usb.. the other things I think it does | 06:05 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: is it active x or citrix? | 06:06 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: there is a nasty ipv6 bug on ubuntu that messes up wans something fearce only fix is a reboot | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | the non-ose version has a few other extra features also.. but USB is the main one. | 06:06 |
| JoeM | scunizi how do I get my mouse back? virtualbox has stolen it and won't give it back! | 06:06 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: hahahahah.. right CTRL to release | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: normally theres some key combo to unlock the mouse. :) it pays to read the docs for the vm machines. | 06:06 |
| JoeM | scunizi heh, thanks | 06:06 |
| soreau | quantolf: Alright, now assuming the output of xrandr shows VGA-0, run this all as one command: xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 && xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1 && xrandr --output S-video --auto --right-of VGA-0 | 06:06 |
| JoeM | dr_willis who reads the instructions... | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: the various 'guest addations' for these VM's make things work easier | 06:06 |
| JoeM | maybe that's why there are always extra parts... | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: you better start if you want to use VM's succesuffly | 06:07 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, thanks for the response! but i've rebooted several times, and i'm using ipv4 | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: :) | 06:07 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: that won't happen after the os is installed and you've figured out how to install the guest additions :) | 06:07 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: you can try adding ipv6=off to grub | 06:07 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i knoe but it still makes the wans disconnect randomly and not reconnect | 06:07 |
| JoeM | dr_willis I take it after I install XP it'll have something like vmware does (extra drivers) to improve the mouse support? It's really choppy atm | 06:07 |
| marks256 | to grub? ok i'll try that quick | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: 'guest addations' = yes. | 06:08 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: guest additions | 06:08 |
| planetary | ok guys you can stop helping me i fixed it :P my task list thing | 06:08 |
| JoeM | ok | 06:08 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: its in the bug list they are trying to fix it but many people are effected even myself | 06:09 |
| planetary | actually no you can help me | 06:09 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, so it really is a big problem? | 06:09 |
| JoeM | oh... that's why it was so choppy... dog hair caught in front of the laser, doh | 06:09 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: well wired works fine and getting a non ipv6 kernel is a quick fix im trying just turning it off in grub | 06:10 |
| [texas] | alright this is pissing me off, how do you make double clicking top window bar from NOT rolling up, and have it maximize like it's supposed to? | 06:10 |
| quantolf | soreau: screen flickered and the res changed on my monitor but nothing on my tv, then spit this out "xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1680x1200 (desired size 1824x768) | 06:10 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: so far so good | 06:10 |
| quantolf | soreau: i double-checked to make sure i typed it in right..i'm pretty sure i did | 06:10 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, it confuses me that it has an address assigned, but i can't ping it? I type in ifconfig on the server, and it give me an ip, but i can't ping it from the outside! | 06:10 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i'll try your suggestion quick | 06:10 |
| Scunizi | [texas]: you mean maximize like it's not suppose to? :) gconf-editor | 06:11 |
| tritium | [texas]: "like it's supposed to"? That depends on what window manager you're using, for one. | 06:11 |
| soreau | quantolf: Ah yes, what is the output of 'glxinfo -l|grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE'? | 06:11 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: yea but ubuntu says its disconnted in the gui right and it works on a reboot | 06:11 |
| planetary | it may be under settings in emerald | 06:11 |
| quantolf | soreau: 2048 | 06:11 |
| JoeM | [texas] I like it rolling up like that... but what Scunizi said | 06:11 |
| planetary | texas emerald settings | 06:11 |
| [texas] | planetary, thank you | 06:11 |
| soreau | quantolf: Ok, then you need to change or add Virtual line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:12 |
| planetary | ya | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | [texas]: that unsupported (but handy tool ) 'ubuntu-tweak' has settings to tweak that. :) | 06:12 |
| quantolf | soreau: help plz? | 06:12 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: thats the bug ifconfig will still say its connected but not even bringing it down manuly will fix it | 06:12 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, nope. it always says it is connected, and reboot doesn't help | 06:12 |
| [texas] | Dr_Willis, oh i have that, i never thought of using that | 06:12 |
| soreau | quantolf: Sure. Can you pastebin that file please? | 06:12 |
| [texas] | ha | 06:12 |
| soreau | ! paste | quantolf | 06:12 |
| ubottu | quantolf: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

| gogeta1 | marks256: oh diffrent issue | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | [texas]: :) its handy isent it. | 06:12 |
| JoeM | also a huge fan of the window under the mouse having focus... always pissed me off going to the office (XP only) and having to click on things (and therefore lose that other window I wanted on top) | 06:12 |
| planetary | i agree | 06:12 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, darn :( i thought there was some hope | 06:12 |
| WIGGMPk | !language > JoeM | 06:12 |
| ubottu | JoeM, please see my private message | 06:12 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, thanks though | 06:13 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: have you tryed disconnecting the wired ubuntu normaly will switch if you do | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: i fouund a neat compiz setting that lets you mouse over a partially hidden window and have it fade to the front.. then fades back when ya mouse away from it. :) | 06:13 |
| supertclyh | anybody? | 06:13 |
| supertclyh | anytbody there? | 06:13 |
| JoeM | dr_willis ooh, that's cool... which setting was it (for when I switch to twinview, heh) | 06:13 |
| [texas] | okay well the ubuntu tweak says what i want it to say, but it still doesnt do it | 06:13 |
| planetary | i is here | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | supertclyh: if we say no.... :) | 06:13 |
| Keyman | Hey I am trying to download Server Edition 9.04 and the only iso I can get has AMD64 in the filename... | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: Hmm.. i gotta find it again.. heh,, | 06:13 |
| Keyman | I can't find anything out intel | 06:13 |
| n1lqj | switched from 8.04 to 8.10 awhile ago, and although I have kexec-tools installed the machines still reboots through bios? Any one have any ideas? | 06:14 |
| JoeM | dr_willis no worries then, I'll be playing with those settings all day :P | 06:14 |
| [texas] | i think it could be the emerald | 06:14 |
| tritium | Keyman: you don't want 64-bit? | 06:14 |
| Roark | soreau gave me joy! | 06:14 |
| Keyman | I want 64 bit | 06:14 |
| Roark | soreau gave me joy! | 06:14 |
| Roark | soreau gave me joy! | 06:14 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, yes. i have un/re plugged the cable many times. still no go. As i said, i have an address, but no go. i'm running dhcp server on eth1, and hoping to get upstream on eth0 | 06:14 |
| supertclyh | i can not install the video drive...my videocard is geforce 9500 | 06:14 |
| FloodBot1 | Roark: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:14 |
| tritium | Keyman: then you have it | 06:14 |
| supertclyh | help | 06:14 |
| quantolf | soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/215299/ | 06:14 |
| soreau | lol | 06:14 |
| Keyman | Why does it say AMD ? | 06:14 |
| [texas] | Roark got pwned | 06:14 |
| planetary | can someone help me with Open Sound System 4?????? | 06:14 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i gets a ip but will not ping? | 06:14 |
| Roark | soreau gave me joy! | 06:14 |
| soreau | quantolf: Alright, give me a moment and I will post it back to you edited | 06:15 |
| Roark | but who is johngalt? | 06:15 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, correct | 06:15 |
| quantolf | ty | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: its the 'Opacify' plugin in CCSM | 06:15 |
| tritium | Keyman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 06:15 |
| Niveous | how i looked all over.. how do you upgrade from ubuntu-desktop to server .. I know how to do it from server to desktop | 06:15 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: sounds like a conflict in the network | 06:15 |
| === kb is now known as Guest6433 | ||
| Scunizi | Niveous: do you want a lamp install? | 06:16 |
| Keyman | tritium don't you think this is a little misleading ubuntu-9.04-server-amd64.iso ? | 06:16 |
| JoeM | dr_willis cool, thanks | 06:16 |
| tritium | Keyman: no. Read up. (see above) | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Niveous: 'upgrading' to server.. would sort of mean removing things.. ;) well i guess the kernel is different also. | 06:16 |
| Keyman | oh ok | 06:16 |
| Niveous | I guess so.. no clue what lamp is | 06:16 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, no! i think i figured out what the problem is... eth0 is being assigned by the server's dhcp server! i can ping the address assigned internally from the server! | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Niveous: most all 'server' features. a 'desktop' setup can do as well | 06:17 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, so eth0 is being assigned internally and not externally via wan. | 06:17 |
| Scunizi | Niveous: lamp is apache mysql and php.. you can install it through synaptic by looking for the menu that gives "install by task".. | 06:17 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i said network conflict lol | 06:17 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, yet it still knows when i plug/unplug a cable.. | 06:17 |
| soreau | quantolf: Make it look like this then be sure to save the file and restart X http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7249ca48 | 06:17 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, yeah sorry :) | 06:17 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: well it will see the card thats client side | 06:18 |
| tritium | Keyman: see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 | 06:18 |
| Niveous | ok ya need those so yes to lamp | 06:18 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, what do you mean? | 06:18 |
| Niveous | last timei did it wassomethinglike sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server | 06:18 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, yes ifconfig shows the client side NIC too | 06:18 |
| Scunizi | Niveous: then yes to task type install.. there is something like sudo tasksel install lamp | 06:18 |
| Scunizi | Niveous: not sure if the syntax is correct though | 06:18 |
| JoeM | scunizi I think I set something up wrong... can't get internet connection in the vm | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: rember what i said about eventually wanting to read the docs... :P | 06:19 |
| mirex | hi | 06:20 |
| JoeM | dr_willis psh, you're not fun :P | 06:20 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: well as long as your found it | 06:20 |
| gogeta1 | ) | 06:20 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: there are 4 different nic cards available for the guest to use.. you can only change them with the vm shut down and then highlighting the vm in the list and selecting the "settings" button at the top.. play around with them.. | 06:20 |
| Keyman | tritium I never knew this existed between the two companies!! Seems crazy! | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: what are you even using vmware? or virtalbox? | 06:20 |
| quantolf | soreau: xorg.conf edited, how do i restart x? | 06:20 |
| mirex | is this right place to ask about glademm ? | 06:20 |
| JoeM | dr_willis turns out checking that little box that says "Cable Connected" helps :P | 06:20 |
| tritium | Keyman: yep. ;) | 06:20 |
| JoeM | dr_willis virtual box atm | 06:20 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, but it still isn't working. I need internet :( | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: yep.. next ya need the 'work for me!' checkbox. | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeM: dont forget to enable the sound card also :) | 06:21 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, oh wow and it is 12:30am :D | 06:21 |
| JoeM | dr_willis heh, I just need to finish the morning pot of coffee | 06:21 |
| Scunizi | JoeM: Dr_Willis that would be after the guest additions install | 06:21 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i would check your roughter config maybe you got the wan set to internel | 06:21 |
| JoeM | dr_willis I set it to pulseaudio | 06:21 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, roughter config? where is that at? | 06:22 |
| soreau | quantolf: Were you using kde? or kdm? or wasn't this kubuntu or ubuntu with kde installed? In short, are you using kdm or gdm as your login screen? | 06:22 |
| simonsez | hay guys.. i heard there were women in this room | 06:22 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: your roughter ip normaly http://192.168.254.254 | 06:22 |
| quantolf | i'm using ubuntu..gnome...i just restarted it | 06:23 |
| quantolf | and it's booting into the gui right now | 06:23 |
| Flannel | gogeta1, marks256: no, router IPs are usually 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1) | 06:23 |
| quantolf | just heard the login music | 06:23 |
| Scunizi | simonsez: how can you tell? maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic not here.. we're alljust geeks | 06:23 |
| gogeta1 | Flannel: my linksys are 354 | 06:23 |
| gogeta1 | 254 | 06:23 |
| ubuntuella | Women are everywhere, simonsez. Everywhere. | 06:23 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i am confused now... you mean the router i use for the entire network? i don't see what that would have to do with anything... | 06:23 |
| legend2440 | simonsez: yea linux is like a chick magnet | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuella: thats scary! | 06:23 |
| tritium | gogeta1: that's highly unusual | 06:23 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: if your wirless isnt set for internet use | 06:23 |
| durando | I am attempting to setup lvm and I cannot seem to figure it out. I am trying to do it on an existing system and would prefer not to have to reinstall. Can anyone help me step by step? | 06:24 |
| soreau | quantolf: Ok, now do you have the command saved in your terminal? Press the up arrow key in your terminal to see commands you previously had ran | 06:24 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i don't have wireless | 06:24 |
| quantolf | yeah id o | 06:24 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, everything is wired. | 06:24 |
| quantolf | xorg.conf is your updated config file | 06:24 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: ohhh | 06:24 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, eth0 -> upstream eth1 ->downstream | 06:24 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, yep ;) | 06:25 |
| Roark | row row row your boat gently upstream eth1 | 06:25 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: to have to lans you gotta use deffrent subnets or they will conflict | 06:25 |
| gogeta1 | 2 | 06:25 |
| soreau | quantolf: Now again: xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 && xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1 && xrandr --output S-video --auto --right-of VGA-0 | 06:25 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: if you whant thwem both to use the internet | 06:25 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, AHHA! that might be the problem! they are both using 192.168.0.x | 06:26 |
| quantolf | soreau: you're a pimp. | 06:26 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: not ips subnets | 06:26 |

| quantolf | *desktop | 06:26 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, oh... explain please? | 06:26 |
| wiseman | Oh my god I hate this computer | 06:26 |
| soreau | quantolf: No, just a guy who happens to enjoy using linux and helping others.. and happen to know a thing or two about ATI hw ;) | 06:27 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: or if there trying to use the same ip that can be a issue as well | 06:27 |
| wiseman | I need help. I can't get the video drivers to work right in ubuntu | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | The things i know aobut ATI hardware.. can not be mentioned in this channel.. since its a faimly fridnely channel. :P | 06:27 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, possibly... | 06:27 |
| TuxedoBond | I'm using the minimal install ISO. Which Linux kernal should I install? | 06:28 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, so i should change my subnet? what should i change it to? | 06:28 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: but for both lans to use the net one 1 pc they need diffrent subnets the 255.255.255.x adress | 06:28 |
| ZAV | Hi all. How i can make Python 3.x as default? (Ubuntu 9.04, now def is Python 2.6) I search at google, but no result. | 06:28 |

| wiseman | It's a toshiba with a radeon HD mobile chipset and I get this weird shaky static-y video, or I disable all drivers and get the safemode crappy 800x600 low resolution video | 06:28 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i'll edit that quick. what should i change it to? | 06:28 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i don't know much about networking rules... | 06:28 |
| durando | anyone know how to setup lvm? | 06:28 |

| wiseman | this all started when I tried to use the ATI drivers | 06:29 |
| gogeta1 | lol to many 255 but you got it | 06:29 |

| wiseman | and i can't seem to get to where it was before I did. | 06:29 |
| TuxedoBond | Durando, I've been trying to install Ubuntu onto an LVM for a while. | 06:29 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i'll try that quick. i set that under my /etc/dhcp.conf file right? | 06:29 |
| wiseman | I tried using the recovery mode X thing | 06:29 |
| gogeta1 | 255.255.255.254 | 06:29 |
| wiseman | Can anyone help? | 06:29 |
| soreau | quantolf: Sure, but I am getting sleepy soon I will retire | 06:29 |
| quantolf | soreau: wondering if youc an help w/ 3 things | 06:29 |
| soreau | quantolf: Just ask | 06:29 |
| quantolf | ok yeah i hope these are easy | 06:29 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: been a wile sence i did that | 06:30 |
| ZAV | How i can make Python 3.x as default? (Ubuntu 9.04, Gnome,now def is Python 2.6) I search at google, but no result. | 06:30 |
| quantolf | soreau: 1) there's like uh | 06:30 |
| zer0ne | gogeta1 :: why change the subnet?? | 06:30 |
| wiseman | preeeeease? | 06:30 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i mean /etc/network/interfaces | 06:30 |
| quantolf | grain on the tv | 06:30 |
| wiseman | wif sugar on top? | 06:30 |
| quantolf | err i mean static | 06:30 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i think that one is right. eth1 is static there. | 06:30 |
| wx9j | serpentine crashes, error "can only use growisofs on a single track " | 06:30 |
| quantolf | like in white areas i see static | 06:30 |
| wiseman | It used to work before and now I can't seem to get it working again. | 06:30 |
| soreau | quantolf: That either your cables or your tv | 06:30 |
| quantolf | static build up? | 06:30 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, is netmask the same thing? | 06:30 |
| durando | thanks Dr_Willis, i had read those and still cannot seem to make sense of lvm. Maybe I am just hopeless on this one | 06:30 |
| soreau | quantolf: Make sure they are plugged in very well and tight | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | durando: i dont even bother to use lvm. :) for a home machine. i dont need it. | 06:31 |
| slaughtermania | hello... I installed Ubuntu 9.04, and I'm having problems with sound drivers, if anyone can help please reply | 06:31 |
| quantolf | ok i'll double check that | 06:31 |
| quantolf | other thing is i'm using a audigy 2 platinum card | 06:31 |
| wiseman | dang it... | 06:31 |
| quantolf | and i hear static around the edges | 06:31 |
| quantolf | it was liek that from the intial install | 06:31 |
| durando | well the reason I want LVM is so that my /home folder can span across multiple drives so that I dont have to have multiple mount points (can get a bit messy) | 06:31 |
| TuxedoBond | It's not too complicated to make LVM volumes. | 06:32 |
| wiseman | can anyone help me with a graphics issue? My screen is horribly distorted and shaky, like I'm watching old analog TV | 06:32 |
| TuxedoBond | It's when trying to install Ubuntu onto it. | 06:32 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i beleve so as long as its the 255 range | 06:33 |
| soreau | quantolf: Open 'alsamixer' in your terminal. You want to turn those settings down and your speaker 'amp' up | 06:33 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, ok. i'll try it in a second. | 06:33 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: exactly | 06:33 |
| TuxedoBond | You need to create a volume group on a physical drive, create some logical drives in the volume group, and format them with the filesystem you want. | 06:33 |
| quantolf | ah ok | 06:34 |
| quantolf | and one last thing | 06:34 |
| durando | well i have a new 500GB hd that I have setup a vg on | 06:34 |
| TuxedoBond | Here are some links I've found: | 06:34 |
| TuxedoBond | http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm/ | 06:34 |
| quantolf | how do i get boxee to auto start on login? :D lol | 06:34 |
| slaughtermania | I need HDA Intel drivers for ubuntu 9.04... i was just looking up on google but it didn't work... so i need help from you... How do I install drivers? i've never used linux before | 06:34 |
| TuxedoBond | http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem | 06:34 |
| wiseman | pleeeeease, I need help | 06:34 |
| wiseman | my computer is almost unusable now | 06:34 |
| TuxedoBond | http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/LVM-HOWTO/index.html | 06:35 |
| soreau | quantolf: One thing I have that might help you. When someone is helping you in a busy channel like this one, always address them by prefixing your question or comment with their nick, just like I am using yours so you get highlighted. Much easier for people to help you that way | 06:35 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, OMG I LOVE YOU! (in a friendy kind of way ;) ) THAT WORKED! it was a subnet conflict!!!!!!!!!! | 06:35 |
| quantolf | soreau: yeah i keep lapsing w/ that...i'm getting tired too | 06:35 |
| wx9j | serpentine crashes, error "can only use growisofs on a single track " | 06:36 |
| wiseman | Help! | 06:36 |
| soreau | quantolf: First, figure out how to start boxee from your terminal. Then, add that command to your sessions (in gnome, sys>prefs>startup programs) | 06:36 |
| durando | can your boot partition be on /dev/sdb1? | 06:36 |
| quantolf | soreau: thank you soreau, i greatly appreciate your help. thank you :) | 06:36 |
| soreau | durando: I don't see why not | 06:36 |
| bin1010 | hey guys, this is prolly a dumb question, but why doesn't www-data user show up in my users and groups gpanel | 06:37 |
| Scunizi | bin1010: I've always wondered that | 06:37 |
| [texas] | when children's books that have owls in it, do they say "hoo" or "hoot"? | 06:37 |
| TuxedoBond | What does /SDA and /SDB stand for? | 06:37 |
| soreau | quantolf: No problem. Hope that helps you. btw, to get more advanced you could even put those tv-out / s-video commands in a script and add that to your sessions as well but that's a whole nother story. Gnite friend | 06:37 |
| durando | every guide i have seen for /lvm says you only need 100mb for /boot..............why does this seem to small to me? | 06:37 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i did a dule lan in the past i knew it | 06:37 |
| WIGGMPk1 | I installed Guest Additions for Virtualbox on 2 headless servers.. (hardy & jaunty) jaunty has an extra folder in /usr/src called "vboxvideo-3.0.0" is it safe to get rid of this folder because I dont have a GUI or a Xorg? | 06:37 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: Serial Ata A and Serial Ata B ? | 06:38 |
| durando | maybe | 06:38 |
| TuxedoBond | Durando, The rest of the system files go on the LVM partitions. | 06:38 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, you have no idea how much that just made my day | 06:38 |
| bullgard4 | [Jaunty] I have got a loadable kernel module 'snd'. What is its associated source code file name? I could not find 'snd.c' although I have installed the DEB program package linux-source-2.6.28. | 06:38 |
| quantolf | soreau: i'm confused...am i going to have to execute xrandr on every statup? | 06:38 |
| legend2440 | quantolf: open system>admin>login window>security tab put check next to Enable Auto Login and choose your username from dropdown box | 06:38 |
| TuxedoBond | The boot files must be in a primary partition. | 06:38 |
| bin1010 | to get zend debugger to work with eclipse, I think I have to make a virtual directory and since www-data can't read my user directories, I guess I need to add www-data to my group, but I can't find it in the user list | 06:39 |
| durando | ok, so i will need to copy /boot to a new 100mb partition? | 06:39 |
| TuxedoBond | What are you trying to do? | 06:39 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, celebrated too soon. now my thin clients won't boot. | 06:39 |
| quantolf | legend2440: got it | 06:39 |
| soreau | quantolf: Yes, you would have to. Unless, you created a script and added it to your startup programs (session) so it runs it for you automagically every time you start up. I could pastebin mine for you, but you have to save it to file and chmod +x it to make it executable etc | 06:39 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: trying to setup lvm | 06:39 |
| soreau | quantolf: Kind of a whole nother topic / project for noobs ;) | 06:39 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, it is still looking on subnet 255.255.255.0 | 06:39 |
| TuxedoBond | With a fresh install of Ubuntu? | 06:39 |
| bin1010 | any ideas? | 06:40 |
| quantolf | soreau: yeah, i've tried learning w/ online wikis but they really pale in comparison to having a guide help | 06:40 |
| epicreviews | hey I just installed task dock http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=986338 | 06:40 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: no existing install | 06:40 |
| epicreviews | how do I start it? | 06:40 |
| quantolf | soreau: and by guide i mean ianother person | 06:40 |
| soreau | quantolf: Yea, i know. I will be here tomorrow about this time or earlier if you want to get more info on that. For now, I'm off to bed. gnite | 06:40 |
| quantolf | soreau: night | 06:40 |
| dva5912 | Can anyone tell me if im tied to windows? Im currently working on a huge C++ project. It REQUIRES me to use a 3d engine. Are there any free 3d engines available to linux? if so how different will they be to dark gdk | 06:41 |
| soreau | dva5912: opengl | 06:41 |
| TuxedoBond | Durando, if you are only installing Ubunto to the drive, Ubuntu has a built in LVM option during the install. | 06:41 |
| slaughtermania | Not to force the situation cuz i know there's so much people in this channel. But if nobody can help me with the audio drivers thing, can you at least say so? | 06:41 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: lan 1 should be 255.255.255 lan 2 255.255.254 | 06:41 |
| ``y7 | my graphics/video drivers in ubuntu seem to be messed up. all of the video is lagged and youtube.com videos play in 5fps (this is a guess, but they are super slow when they've already buffered 100%). where can i begin to trouble shoot this issue? | 06:41 |
| TuxedoBond | You have to select manual at the partition screen. | 06:41 |
| dva5912 | opengl.... soreau, familiar with any 3d engines that will work with it | 06:41 |
| bening | hi soreau | 06:41 |
| wiseman | ugh | 06:42 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: that would be to easy, i would prefer to not reinstall | 06:42 |
| Scunizi | slaughtermania: you want 1200+ people to say "sorry we don't know"? | 06:42 |
| wiseman | I still need halp | 06:42 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: thought you said it worked :) | 06:42 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, that is how they are setup | 06:42 |
| soreau | bening: I'm going to bed, sorry | 06:42 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i got interent on the server :D that's what i was most worried about :D | 06:42 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, but now the thin client won't boot | 06:42 |
| TuxedoBond | Durando, I thought you said there is no existing install? | 06:42 |
| dva5912 | slaughtermania: i used to be like you. Honestly if they dont know they wont say a word about it | 06:42 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: you might have to configure that for the subnet change | 06:42 |
| dva5912 | !opengl | 06:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl | 06:43 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, if i can remember how to get in my laptop's bios... | 06:43 |
| bucky | i know the answer but I'm not telling | 06:43 |
| legend2440 | wisemandid you activate the drivers in system>admin>hardware drivers? | 06:43 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: or make lan 1 use 254 | 06:43 |
| gogeta1 | fip it around | 06:43 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: I am moving my existing install to lvm | 06:44 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, if i did that i'd be booted off irc wouldn't i? | 06:44 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, and i don't want to loose my help :) | 06:44 |
| zetheroo | I just thought I should ask about this - lately i have been getting requests by Pidgin to reject or accept ssl certificates, the latest of which is login.live.com .... should I be accepting these things? | 06:44 |
| juha_ | yuuuu | 06:44 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: well i would check the thin clents network settings you probly just gotts adjust it | 06:44 |
| gogeta1 | gotta | 06:44 |
| dva5912 | wow, suddenlty i done want to take windows off here., i dont know why. anyway, is there anything i can use to isntall ubuntu to my laptop without a usb, cd, or floppy disk? | 06:45 |
| gogeta1 | for the new settings | 06:45 |
| dva5912 | Or netboot | 06:45 |
| zetheroo | seems like they have something to do with Hotmail ... but its something that just kinda started happening out of the blue recently | 06:45 |
| spx2 | any way to change workspace in ubuntu on gnome with the keyboard ? | 06:45 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i'm not sure where to do that... it's not really a thin client... it's just a laptop doing network boot | 06:45 |
| durando | dva5912: virtual machine | 06:45 |
| dva5912 | ? | 06:45 |
| Scunizi | spx2: ctrl+alt+right left arrows | 06:45 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: however you did it the first time | 06:45 |
| TuxedoBond | Durando, this should help you with the commands: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm/ | 06:45 |
| dva5912 | durando: im not vming | 06:46 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i ddin't do anything... it just worked... | 06:46 |
| slaughtermania | !sound > slaughtermania | 06:46 |
| ubottu | slaughtermania, please see my private message | 06:46 |
| spx2 | Scunizi: and can I move a window to another workspace with keyboard ? | 06:46 |
| spx2 | also , how many workspace can I have ? | 06:46 |
| spx2 | *workspaces | 06:46 |
| durando | dva5912: sorry maybe i misunderstood your question, i thought you were asking if there was a way to install/use ubuntu without a usb, cd or floppy, or netboot | 06:46 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: buy a roughter lol | 06:46 |
| cattellar | spx2, yes there is some command for that, check the compiz settings for the Wall | 06:46 |
| TuxedoBond | Durando, This guide is meant for installing Ubuntu system onto an LVM partition itself, which even if you are not doing is a helpful way to figure which commands you need to use and in which order: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem | 06:46 |
| Scunizi | spx2: probably but I've no idea how | 06:47 |
| Scunizi | spx2: bunches.. 32? | 06:47 |
| spx2 | Scunizi: where did you know about the shortcut ? | 06:47 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, haha | 06:47 |
| dva5912 | durando, i was wanting to install it with just windows not any external media | 06:47 |
| spx2 | cattellar: yeah ,where do I check them settings ? | 06:47 |
| Scunizi | spx2: not sure. I've been using ubuntu for over 3 years.. | 06:47 |
| zer0ne | spx2 : add shift to previous command | 06:47 |
| spx2 | Scunizi: lol | 06:47 |
| spx2 | zer0ne: doesn't work | 06:48 |
| Scunizi | spx2: osomosis :) | 06:48 |
| durando | dva5912: thats why i suggested a vm | 06:48 |
| spx2 | zer0ne: alt+shift+<number> works in wmii but not here | 06:48 |
| durando | you can download an iso image and install into a vm while running windows | 06:48 |
| cattellar | I just wanted to say, that if you like openbox, and ubuntu, you should check crunchbang linux | 06:48 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i dot knoe thin clents | 06:48 |
| dva5912 | durando: but a vm will not install ubuntu to my physical drive. Ive already tested it in server | 06:48 |
| durando | oh, i am not sure if thats possible dva5912 | 06:49 |
| durando | sorry for any misunderstanding | 06:49 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, well you've been more than helpful | 06:49 |
| babz[1] | via best graphics ink8m800 | 06:49 |
| dva5912 | durando, hey why dont i just virtural disk the iso of ubuntu. it has the wubi on it right? | 06:49 |
| Scunizi | dva5912: what do you mean.. running something like vbox and then installing ubuntu into it? | 06:49 |
| ssheyn | join #turkish | 06:49 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: according to ubuntu it uses dchp | 06:50 |
| bullgard4 | [Jaunty] I have got a loadable kernel module 'snd'. What is its associated source code file name? I could not find 'snd.c' although I have installed the DEB program package linux-source-2.6.28. | 06:50 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: just try rebooting the thin | 06:50 |
| dva5912 | Scunizi: i want to install ubuntu as my primary os without external media | 06:50 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: thanks for the links, i will post specific questions as they arise, i am pretty determined to get lvm working tonight | 06:50 |
| R_YoYo_R | dva5912, like a net install? | 06:50 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i did. i'm going to reboot the server and see if that does it. i restarted the networking daemon, but i'll do a full restart | 06:50 |
| dva5912 | R_YoYo_R: no. i dont think a net install is what im looking for | 06:51 |
| dva5912 | hold on im going to test me theort | 06:51 |
| Scunizi | dva5912: there is a way.. it's tricky.. someone mentioned the link the other night.. but it has to be done with an OS already installed (read windows) | 06:51 |

| marks256 | gogeta1, maybe i need to change the subnet in my dhcp server file too? | 06:51 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: you have to change the subnet | 06:51 |
| gogeta1 | yes | 06:51 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, under my server file too? | 06:52 |

| jDuke | I'm having an issue with VNC within my network. I can connect and see the remote desktop, but when I take action the client window doesn't update. Any suggestions welcome | 06:52 |

| jDuke | TightVNC on Win7 | 06:53 |
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, oh so you are connecting to linux via windows. .... let me ask you this. Do you have an XP box handy? | 06:54 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: heh figured they would make it easy | 06:54 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, it's ubuntu :) | 06:54 |
| jDuke | yes, I do. | 06:54 |
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, same behavior? | 06:54 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: you need to change the dchp server config to use 254 as well as your thin boot file | 06:54 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: so it knoe where to look | 06:55 |
| jDuke | let me see... didn't think of that | 06:55 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: i am assuming that the 100mb /boot is never to be made part of the lvm | 06:55 |
| AgentBlair | anyone know where the dev community is for ubuntu on android? | 06:55 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, yeah i just did that trying it now... | 06:55 |

| wiseman | I need some help | 06:56 |
| legend2440 | wiseman: did you activate the drivers in system>admin>hardware drivers? | 06:56 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, my fix didn't work... looking at your link | 06:57 |
| durando | TuxedoBond: i like manual updating lets me know what is being updated and gives me the opportunity to know why. | 06:57 |
| wiseman | yep | 06:57 |
| wiseman | legend2440: yep I did, it says I require a restart, then when I restart it says it cannot detect my monitor or graphics card | 06:57 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: your only change will be in subnet | 06:57 |
| TuxedoBond | This system will be for non tech savvy users, so automatic will probably be best? | 06:57 |
| FrozenFire | Is it possible to set up a basic wireless access point using a USB wifi card and the network manager? I know that a basic DHCP router can be created using the "Shared to Other Computers" setting in the IPv4 tab. | 06:58 |
| wiseman | I tell it to use either the proprietary or the open source driver, it doesn't work. I tell it to use either the plug n play monitor or a widescreen 1280 by 800 LCD. doesn't work. | 06:58 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: then in your thin client you have to change the same subnet | 06:58 |
| legend2440 | wiseman: which ati mobility card is it? | 06:58 |
| wiseman | I've tried repair Xorg. | 06:58 |
| wiseman | doesn't work | 06:58 |
| wiseman | ATI Radeon HD 2400 I think | 06:58 |
| wiseman | lemme chekc | 06:58 |
| ubuntu1 | hi | 06:58 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: to refect the new dchp server adress you also need to restart the dchp server to refect the change | 06:58 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, my /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf is mostly all commented out. but there is another dhcpd file specifically for the ltsp server. that's the one i originally configured. and i don't know how to change the subnet on the thin client (laptop) | 06:59 |
| jDuke | R_YoYo_R: same thing :( | 06:59 |
| william56 | i resized my xp partition during ubuntu install, and after that, grub has been hanging on loading on xp. fixmbr and fixboot seem to fry my partition tables, so i'm unsure as to what i should do | 07:00 |
| wiseman | legend2440: yeah HD2400 | 07:00 |
| slaughtermania | oh, i don't understand dmix, it's too much code and stuff... all i know is i still have no sound | 07:00 |
| william56 | also, i'm able to mount all of my partitions correctly. | 07:00 |
| jDuke | XP - Linux doesn't refresh, either | 07:00 |
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, well .... thats good in a way. eliminates some possibilities. So tell me again the exact behavior? | 07:00 |
| JoeM | dr_willis ok... I even tried the manual this time, but I can't get USB support working (installed the version from sun), manual says something about usbfs... but I'm lost | 07:00 |
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, how are you enabling VNC on the linux box? | 07:00 |
| bin1010 | I am trying to get zend debugger to work with eclipse on ubuntu 9.04, I think I have to make a virtual directory (which I've done), but since www-data can't read my user directories, I guess I need to add www-data to my group, but I can't find it in the user list within the gnome User and Group interface. Should I change apache to run with my user? weird making the index.html file chmod 777 did not work, wonder why? | 07:00 |
| jDuke | Appears connected fine, but when I click or drag, my client's vnc window doesn't change. | 07:01 |
| legend2440 | wiseman: can you paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf in pastebin? | 07:01 |

| marks256 | gogeta1, ah! i found a tutorial on how to do my exact setup. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599166&highlight=ltsp they say change the ip, not the subnet | 07:02 |
| jDuke | I tried first using the way it installed with Ubuntu, and I've manually installed tightvncserver as well | 07:03 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: thats probly a roughter config | 07:03 |
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, same thing through both? what is your connection string? the IP? | 07:03 |
| wiseman | legend2440: http://paste.ubuntu.com/215314/ | 07:03 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: in your case its a subnet conflict | 07:04 |
| jDuke | 192.168.1.104 | 07:04 |
| jDuke | I'm not sure if tightvncserver is connecting or (is it x11?) | 07:05 |
| === ^Einstei1 is now known as ^Einstein | ||
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, and when you installed tightvnc you made sure that the regular method (vino) was diabled? | 07:05 |
| legend2440 | wiseman: can i pm? | 07:05 |
| jDuke | not sure what you mean | 07:06 |
| wiseman | legend2440: go ahead | 07:06 |
| jDuke | on the server side? | 07:06 |
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, your server meaning the ubuntu box? | 07:06 |
| jDuke | yes | 07:06 |
| JoeM | dr_willis never mind, found something that might work... going to test it now | 07:06 |
| TuxedoBond | GRUB or LILO? | 07:07 |
| jDuke | I don't recall any regular method being disabled | 07:07 |

| jDuke | vncserver passwd | 07:07 |
| phil_pp | H:) | 07:08 |
| R_YoYo_R | jDuke, then yes. you would have to go through the UI and disable the remote desktop option using tightvnc i would imagine. however not sure if that is the problem. Check the windows event viewer for errors. The system log. Does it have any DCOM errors? | 07:08 |

| OttifantSir | durando: LVM is similar to RAID in that it needs two equally-sized partitions/harddrives to make one LV/RAID-array. If you have 1 /boot for let's say 1 GB on a 250GB drive, and an empty 250GB drive you want to combine with the remaining 249GB on the first, you'll lose the remaining 1GB on the second drive. It won't combine 249 with 250 to make it a 499 GB drive. | 07:24 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, still no go. i don't know if there is a way TO configure the PXE boot client... | 07:24 |

| durando | OttifantSir: well in this example /boot will be 100mb and I can deal with loosing 100mb from the second drive if need be but none of the guides i have read so far show that | 07:25 |
| om26er1 | Athenon: any gui util | 07:25 |
| Athenon | om26er1: gparted | 07:25 |
| OttifantSir | durando: So you have to partition the drives so that you always have two partitions the same size to combine them. You CAN make a Logical Volume out of ONE drive/partition, but then the reason for LVM is somewhat lost IMO. | 07:26 |
| om26er1 | Athenon: gparted doesnot format memory cards | 07:26 |
| Athenon | om26er1: it does. | 07:26 |
| om26er1 | no? | 07:26 |
| durando | OttifantSir: it is the only way that i am aware to have /home span both drives | 07:27 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, the client is configiured to get it's ip via DHCP | 07:27 |
| Athenon | om26er1: ive done it before. go to commandline and type gparted /dev/mmblk0 | 07:27 |

| HotPizza | I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on virtual box 3, how do I the get the screen resolution to increase beyond 800 x 600? | 07:28 |
| OttifantSir | durando: It that's what's been holding you back, I hope you get it working with that info. If not, ask again. I'm not really THAT good at LVM myself. You COULD also use a fake RAID to have /home span both drives, but as I said, You need drives/partitions that are EXACTLY the same size, preferrably the same drives. | 07:28 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i can't find anything on configuring the Intel Boot Agent | 07:28 |

| durando | is fakeraid easier to setup than lvm? | 07:30 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i'm only using my laptop temporarily until i can get real thin clients | 07:30 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: ohh | 07:30 |
| HotPizza | I'm trying to figure out how to install that | 07:30 |
| OttifantSir | durando: As long as they're partitioned to EXACTLY the same size, they can be combined in LVM, but it is preferred to have the drives being from the same manufacturer, and the same model. | 07:30 |
| OttifantSir | durando: fakeraid and lvm is probably about equally difficult to set up. Only done LVM myself | 07:31 |
| durando | would it just be easier to setup lvm with a fresh install? | 07:32 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando, OttifantSir: For lvm the drives don't need to be the same size. You can create a logical volume that is mapped over the free space on more than one physical volume. | 07:32 |
| Flannel | durando: It's fairly easy with a fresh install, but I don't think it's terribly difficult afterwards either. | 07:32 |
| dreki | is there a way i can manage what drives/partitions will be mounted when i login? i also have some network folders id like to mount wehn i login is that possible? | 07:33 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, so i'm not sure how do this | 07:33 |

| Peddy | is there a way to show only program icons in the gnome-panel or xfce4-panel task lists, as in no window name? Thanks. | 07:33 |
| OttifantSir | durando: I never got that to work. I did LVM after I had bought three 1TB disks and ran Ubuntu for a few months on a 250GB drive. So personally I would say it's easier afterwards, but opinions differ. | 07:33 |
| durando | Flannel: i am all ears (eyes as the case is) the guides I have found are driving me nuts cause no matter how close I follow them it doesn't work out in the end | 07:33 |

| OttifantSir | FatsDominoTheory: You are somewhat correct. The Harddrives don't have to be the same size, but to extend a Logical Volume across several drives, the partitions/PVs in the Volume Group have to be the same size to be combined into ONE Logical Volume. | 07:36 |

| TuxedoBond | Which do you think I should use, GRUB or LILO? | 07:40 |
| FatsDominoTheory | OttifantSir: Only lvm is striped on the physical volume partitions need to be the same size | 07:40 |
| R_YoYo_R | !are you smart? | 07:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about are you smart? | 07:40 |
| oOarthurOo | TuxedoBond: Grub | 07:40 |
| OttifantSir | FatsDominoTheory: Why not help durando instead of chastising me for giving what seems to be bad advise? | 07:41 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, :o restart worked! | 07:41 |
| gogeta1 | heh | 07:41 |
| SnakDoc | whats a good app for converting xvid to dvd or just one that will do it | 07:41 |
| btakita | My keypad all of a sudden got really slow (insensivity) | 07:42 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: does internet | 07:42 |
| gogeta1 | lol | 07:42 |
| btakita | The sensitivity is turned all the way up | 07:42 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i don' tknow i'll check :D | 07:42 |
| btakita | how can I debug this? | 07:42 |
| OttifantSir | SnakDoc: 2ManDVD is a GUI that will make DVDs with menus and slideshows and such. | 07:42 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, omg it doesn't :'( | 07:43 |
| gogeta1 | lol | 07:43 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, the irony... | 07:43 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: ok change your subnet back to 254 | 07:43 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Make sure you have the software to work with lvm volumes is on your current filesystem. Then boot to from a live cd. | 07:43 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: then do a rebot | 07:43 |
| SnakDoc | OttifantSir thanks will see if it does other things i looking for thanks | 07:43 |
| fitter | somebody can help me with the gtk-spliter install? | 07:43 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, on the server? | 07:43 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: well like befor change your sunnet on the card and dchp | 07:44 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: and thin config | 07:44 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: then reboot | 07:44 |
| Flannel | durando: During the install? or afterwards? | 07:44 |
| OttifantSir | SnakDoc: It's found at www.getdeb.net in Video | 07:45 |
| TuxedoBond | Durando, they way I set up LVM is on a single HDD with XP with a fresh Ubuntu install. It seems to be working after following the Debuntu guide although I had a problem with the installation not wanting to install on my partitions. | 07:45 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: i guess just reestarting the dchp service wasent enough for the changes to take full efffect | 07:45 |
| diddy | Where is the cups configuration file on Ubuntu? | 07:45 |
| TuxedoBond | After making sure my settings were correct it seems to be working so far. | 07:45 |
| dport | Can anyone help me out with a sound question. My sound was working perfectly with ubuntu 8.1, but I updated to 9.x and my sound does not work anymore | 07:45 |
| SnakDoc | ottifantsir thanks again will give it a try i like my media :) | 07:45 |
| Shtl | Hello All | 07:45 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, well the thin client boots, but it doesn't let me login now. and i don't have internet. | 07:46 |
| Flannel | FatsDominoTheory: root=/dev/mapper/whatever | 07:46 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: on the dchp server config where subnet is commented out uncomment it | 07:46 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i'd hate to walk away from it now, but i need some sleep. i'll work on it in the morning. | 07:46 |
| gogeta1 | lol | 07:46 |
| Flannel | FatsDominoTheory: Although, you may also be able to use UUID now, I'm not sure. | 07:46 |
| SnakDoc | dport you have special drivers to make work in 8.10 ? | 07:46 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, subnet isn't comment out anywhere | 07:46 |
| dport | Yes | 07:47 |
| sseiersen | If I got a SUSE script for something will Ubuntu be able to do it? | 07:47 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: well i knoe its a subnet conflict | 07:47 |
| Flannel | sseiersen: Maybe | 07:47 |
| SnakDoc | dport you going to have to get updated ones for 9.04 | 07:47 |
| OttifantSir | diddy: If you want to change something with CUPS, you can try going to localhost:631 in a browser. (Maybe 613, but I'm rather sure it's 631) | 07:47 |
| gogeta1 | marks256: its just a matter of getting the configs right | 07:47 |
| sseiersen | HP only has stuff for SUSE and RHEL | 07:47 |
| TuxedoBond | Anyone know how to install GRUB to an LVM partition? | 07:47 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, yeah i'm suspicious of that myself | 07:47 |
| SnakDoc | dport for kernel 2.6.28-13-generic | 07:47 |
| Flannel | TuxedoBond: keep /boot off of LVM | 07:47 |
| gogeta1 | to accept the change | 07:48 |
| marks256 | gogeta1, i noticed a place i didn't change the subnet the first time. i'll try that again. | 07:48 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Create a partition on you empty drive, then create a volume group and at that partition to it | 07:48 |
| TuxedoBond | The /boot is off LVM. | 07:48 |
| Flannel | TuxedoBond: then you're not installing GRUB to the LVM, you're installing it to /boot, which is off of LVM | 07:49 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: *add that the new partition the new volume group | 07:49 |
| diddy | OttifantSir: Thank you but is there an actual, physical configuration file? Even if I use the web interface to make changes then they must be stored somewhere. | 07:49 |
| TuxedoBond | I wanted to install GRUB to my root partition instead of the MBR; my root partition is in an LVM. | 07:49 |
| === forrestv is now known as forrest | ||
| SnakDoc | any reason when burning with brasero its starts like its burning then restarts ? | 07:49 |
| durando | ok FatsDominoTheory doing that now | 07:51 |

| dva5912 | Is there an issue with WUBI and dell latitude laptops? I just installed the wubi and there was no option on reboot to go into it | 07:51 |
| Out_Cold | SnakDoc, you might have it testing the burn before it actually burns.. | 07:51 |
| newb2linux | Hey guys. | 07:51 |

| Shtl | I have PC (which should act as router) with 2 NICs, so now i can able to ping from LAN PCs to this main PC, but i can able to get the internet in LAN PCs, i also enabled the ipV4 forwarding, can any one help me please?? | 07:52 |
| Out_Cold | SnakDoc, i have that setting enabled.. much safer writes | 07:52 |
| diddy | OttifantSir, Thank you. | 07:52 |
| oOarthurOo | no one have any ideas for creating a cd with crossfading on it? | 07:52 |
| SnakDoc | Out_Cold i check after this one is done this 3 thing i have burned takes forever and last thing windows box wouldn't read trying iso this time | 07:52 |
| marks256 | gogeta, i'm going to call it a night. tomorrow i'll reinstall the entire system, and then i'll set everything up over again so i'm sure not to miss anything | 07:52 |
| dva5912 | oOarthurOo: i think hobastank did that with their cd. just make all the files "merge" | 07:53 |
| marks256 | gogeta, you on IRC much? if so i'll let you know whether or not i'm successful. | 07:53 |
| newb2linux | Anyone able to help me sort out a problem with my DVD rom ? | 07:53 |
| oOarthurOo | dva5912: What is a hobastank? | 07:53 |
| HotPizza | R_Yoyo_R: thank you | 07:53 |
| Out_Cold | SnakDoc, you can modify the settings i believe... i use gnomebaker personally | 07:53 |
| dva5912 | oOarthurOo: a verry poor bad band | 07:53 |
| costin | hi | 07:53 |
| gogeta | marks256: well you gotta get around that conflict | 07:53 |
| oOarthurOo | dva5912: ok.. heh... what software do I use to burn with the merge option? | 07:53 |
| newb2linux | hello | 07:53 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: ok using gui logical volume manager i have initialized the one and only partition on /dev/sdb and used it to create a volume group called vg | 07:54 |
| gogeta | marks256: lol | 07:54 |
| SnakDoc | Out_Cold it work better for you i always use to use poweriso in windows work great for me | 07:54 |
| marks256 | gogeta, so it is a subnet conflict? | 07:54 |
| SnakDoc | out_cold would like to find simple app somewhat like that if i can | 07:54 |
| dva5912 | oOarthurOo: there isnt one to my knowledge. The music will have to be edited to fade out and the the next song will have to fade in if thats what you want | 07:54 |
| s_ | todavia sigo vivo | 07:54 |
| voss | I gave my 13 year old nephew an ibm t30 laptop running ubuntu, hes using to play runescape | 07:54 |
| costin | have o pb whit pidgin,don't conect to yahoo | 07:54 |
| gogeta | marks256: yea i delt with that befor 2 lans on the same subnet without a roughter conflict | 07:54 |
| dva5912 | anyway to my question. Anyone got any ideas as to why wubi will not work on my dell | 07:55 |
| gogeta | marks256: making 2 deffrent ones fixes is | 07:55 |
| marks256 | gogeta, ok. i'll mess with it tomorrow. Thanks for your help. Hopefully we'll cross paths here again ;) | 07:55 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: so the volume group vg contains the physical volume /dev/sdb1 right ? | 07:55 |
| oOarthurOo | dva5912: hmm... that is my fear. There is a windows box in the house. I'd rather find a simpler solution than opening audacityu and adding songs and individually fading in and out | 07:55 |
| OttifantSir | costin: apparently a problem with Yahoo IM at the moment | 07:55 |
| TuxedoBond | Which version of the kernel does Ubuntu install? | 07:55 |
| durando | correct FatsDominoTheory | 07:55 |
| Out_Cold | SnakDoc, i haven't used windows for years... you can try gnome-baker or k3b | 07:55 |
| SnakDoc | costin have to update pidgin one sec i get link | 07:55 |
| TuxedoBond | Mine installed 2.6.28-13. | 07:55 |
| Out_Cold | SnakDoc, k3b is another personal favorite | 07:55 |
| SnakDoc | ok i take a look never hurts | 07:55 |
| newb2linux | how dows one grab the atention of a knowledable LINUX user? | 07:56 |
| dva5912 | oOarthurOo: Unless you have a smart cd player :P | 07:56 |
| SnakDoc | out_cold i want small simple fast :) | 07:56 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: cool, create the logical volume on that vg called "root" or something. | 07:56 |
| gogeta | newb2linux: you ask your question | 07:56 |
| Out_Cold | newb2linux, join ##linux and tell them you are a certified hacker... you'll get their attention.... as they break down your firewall | 07:56 |
| nomad77 | !ask | newb2linux | 07:56 |

| Ali_nz | hi guyd | 07:57 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: what command do i use to create a logical volume? | 07:57 |
| Ali_nz | guys | 07:57 |
| gogeta | newb2linux: lost your dvd rom | 07:57 |
| gogeta | ? | 07:57 |
| Out_Cold | newb2linux, go to terminal, type "sudo fdisk -l" | 07:57 |
| gogeta | Out_Cold: lol | 07:57 |
| gogeta | Out_Cold: thell ban you for that | 07:57 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: first read the lvcreate man page. Then see if it matches up with what I'm about to type. | 07:58 |
| costin | sNAKdOC tnx my hommies | 07:58 |
| Out_Cold | newb2linux, then after you find which one is your dvd-drive, type "sudo mount /dev/sd** /mnt/dvdrom | 07:58 |
| gogeta | newb2linux: how does one lose a dvd rom | 07:58 |
| newb2linux | I have XBMCLive with ubuntu 9.04 adn it worked earlier but I was messing around with some terminal comands to try and fix a read only issue with my USB keys. | 07:58 |
| Ali_nz | anyone know why this didnt work: i got sdb with errors. a brand new disk is sdc. i tried sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /dev/sdc | 07:58 |
| SnakDoc | costin no problem i ran across same thing with lots of others lol | 07:58 |
| Out_Cold | i gotta run.. botty call | 07:58 |
| Out_Cold | *booty call***** | 07:58 |
| Ali_nz | but i got no space on device | 07:58 |
| dva5912 | quickie. From the wubi can i make ubuntu my primary os? | 07:59 |
| gogeta | dva5912: instert live cd install it | 07:59 |
| JohnWittle | Is there any windows movie maker-like software for linux? | 07:59 |
| JohnWittle | easy to use and not very powerful | 07:59 |
| Out_Cold | dva5912, if you install ubuntu, it defaults as primary | 07:59 |
| gogeta | JohnWittle: handbrake is a good gui | 07:59 |
| dva5912 | gogeta, cant do that. ALl cds are burned and no plans on getting new ones. | 07:59 |
| newb2linux | sudo fdisk -I see dev/sda1 sda2 sd3 | 07:59 |
| Out_Cold | newb2linux, you may have a loose wire? | 08:00 |
| newb2linux | nope. | 08:00 |
| gogeta | JohnWittle: alot of are move converts are text based and very fast | 08:00 |
| JohnWittle | gogeta: It doesn't edit movies, though. It rips them. | 08:00 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: lvcreate -nroot -L450G vg <-- that should create a logical volume on the vg group with the name root a length of 450 gig. | 08:00 |
| Out_Cold | still... i gotta run... bug the other "linux-gurus" | 08:00 |

| durando | ok | 08:01 |
| durando | so now i have to format that? | 08:01 |
| durando | just to sound really dumb how do i format that | 08:01 |

| owen1 | can i use unetbootin for xubuntu or is it only for ubuntu? | 08:01 |
| gogeta | that what you lookin for | 08:01 |
| nomad77 | newb2linux: not unless mount -t was used properly | 08:02 |
| ``y7 | i installed mirc 6.17 on wine in ubuntu and it doesn't have arial font... the same install in windows has arial font...... how can i go about getting arial font? | 08:02 |

| newb2linux | I executed that command from ssh to my XBMCLive HTPC . | 08:02 |
| newb2linux | Now my DVD drive doesnt work .. | 08:02 |
| Gigglesworth | newb2linux , have you tried rebooting? | 08:03 |
| gogeta | newb2linux: yea those changes are not perma | 08:03 |
| gogeta | newb2linux: rebooting should undo it | 08:03 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Yeah. It should be sitting in /dev/vg/root. So format that with mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.xfs er whatever. | 08:03 |
| newb2linux | HMM. i have rebooted | 08:03 |
| newb2linux | looks like HW issue then ? | 08:03 |
| newb2linux | let me se if i can boot from a live disk | 08:03 |

| durando | sweet we are getting somewhere | 08:04 |
| nomad77 | or a bad config in xbmclive | 08:04 |
| Gigglesworth | newb2linux: Those commands shouldn't actually do anything (they are in the wrong format), but it's possible one of those commands actually did muck up some configuration somewhere. | 08:04 |
| durando | not sure where but we are getting there | 08:04 |
| gogeta | Gigglesworth: muking up mount will make everythig weard | 08:05 |
| Gigglesworth | newb2linux: The lines you pasted are intended to be inside the file /etc/fstab , not run on the commandline. | 08:05 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: What filesystem do you like? If xfs, you'd format it to xfs with: mkfs.xfs /dev/vg/root | 08:05 |

| FatsDominoTheory | durando: You're booted to a livecd though right? | 08:14 |
| gogeta | newb2linux: probly your bad commands :( | 08:14 |
| cimon | after 9.04 it tells me every fifteen seconds I have a script that is fail. | 08:14 |
| gogeta | newb2linux: or it was just lose | 08:14 |
| TuxedoBond | Thanks. | 08:14 |
| durando | oh no I am not I am still booted to my primary part | 08:14 |
| newb2linux | Does anyone know how I could set up ubuntu to allow any USB device thats connected to it be writable ? | 08:14 |
| Gigglesworth | newb2linux: That makes some sense. I'm assuming you have a USB DVD drive, but your fix means that the USB autodetection was working correctly. When in doubt, replug. | 08:14 |
| owen1_ | gogeta: i formated my usb to be ext3 (linux). is it ok? | 08:15 |

| gogeta | then all is well | 08:15 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: it makes things easier, but this will work too. Which what is your /boot device? | 08:15 |
| newb2linux | gogeta: Im using XBMCLive and I cant seem to use the filemanager to copy over to any USB devices. | 08:16 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: /dev/sdaN? | 08:16 |
| Gigglesworth | newb2linux: Ok... but same deal. Unplugging and replugging can reset it, if the autodetection works correctly. | 08:16 |

| ubuntunewbie | suddenly I got this message at login to ubuntu How to switch to GDM to switch user logon? | 08:16 |
| newb2linux | ubuntu by default sould mount and allow you to read and write to usb runing vfat or fat 32 right ? | 08:17 |
| cimon | My real question is why would thunderbird keep running all those failing scripts... Is it something in my mails, or something in my .*rc type files or configs? | 08:17 |

| gogeta | owen1 you migght have to use fat on a usb it to work | 08:17 |
| gogeta | i dont knoe if unetbooting is made for ext3 | 08:18 |

| owen1_ | gogeta: should i use gparted to format? | 08:18 |
| gogeta | owen1 all good | 08:18 |
| owen1_ | gogeta: ok, i'll try. thank you! | 08:18 |

| william56 | i've run ntfsfix multiple times, it doesn't ever say it's fixed anything | 08:32 |
| william56 | could my partition layout be keeping an xp partition from booting? | 08:32 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: "cp -ax / /mnt/newroot" the "a" option means preserve everything and copy recursively, the "x" option means stay off other mounted devices. | 08:33 |

| racecar56 | ninjafury: hmm | 08:51 |
| CSS_Guru | I just installed kubuntu :) | 08:51 |

| Vinnnnn | did you try ndiswrapper css? | 08:52 |
| CSS_Guru | what should I try? | 08:52 |
| racecar56 | ninjafury: probably best solution: give up on laptops :P | 08:52 |
| Vinnnnn | ndiswrapper, its like a windows driver emulator sort of, haha | 08:52 |
| newb2linux | shouldnt linux just mount the usb's with write access ? | 08:52 |

| newb2linux | can I prvt msg you ? | 08:55 |

| grawity | ubuntunewbie: It means SIGKILL, the signal number 9 -- it kills 99% of the time. | 09:05 |
| Alexandra | there is one command i think | 09:05 |
| llutz | ubuntunewbie: man 7 signal tells you | 09:05 |
| Slart | CSS_Guru: mm.. there are a lot of questions about those.. is it just the binary driver that doesn't work? or the open source one is just as bad? | 09:05 |
| Gigglesworth | css_guru: Check out EnvyNG, it's a easy way to install Nvidia and ATI drivers. I just used it for ATI drivers... it fixed several problems that I couldn't figure out on my own. | 09:05 |

| CSS_Guru | GeForce 6100 0x0242 | 09:08 |
| CSS_Guru | yup | 09:08 |
| CSS_Guru | but Linux cant wrap its OS head around to finding my driver :( | 09:08 |
| CSS_Guru | well, actually it found it, but wont install it | 09:08 |
| aperson | autologin fails for me, is there a way I can fix it? This is a mostly vanilla install | 09:09 |
| Slart | CSS_Guru: what have you tried so far? | 09:09 |
| CSS_Guru | idk what to do, thats why I came here | 09:09 |
| Slart | aperson: that might depend on why it fails... have you checked the syslog for anything suspicious? auth.log? | 09:09 |
| Slart | CSS_Guru: what happens if you go to system, administration, hardware drivers? | 09:10 |
| CSS_Guru | it has a list of 3 nvidia drivers, each giving an error | 09:10 |
| SpadXIII | hmm.. i just installed from a live-cd (which had a network connection) and now that i've rebooted (not live-cd), the network connection is gone? | 09:10 |
| Slart | CSS_Guru: a useful error or one of those "something didn't work.. boohooo" | 09:10 |
| CSS_Guru | its a useless error | 09:11 |

| Supersaiyan_IV | CSS_Guru, imo it's | 09:13 |
| phr0sty | any ideas? | 09:13 |

| aperson | Slart, I just get a black screen and a pointer. I can move the pointer and all | 09:13 |
| CSS_Guru | wth, it says this driver is currently active and in use lol | 09:13 |
| CSS_Guru | wtf? | 09:13 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | CSS_Guru, imo it's not worth it installing the ubuntu drivers, when there are fresh new ones on nvidias site* | 09:13 |
| Slart | aperson: hmm.. can you check the logs? see if there is anything that looks like an error | 09:13 |
| metalfan_ | Supersaiyan_IV, the ubuntu ones are tested | 09:13 |

| CSS_Guru | where should it be? | 09:15 |

| SpadXIII | why does the 9.04 live cd connect to my network by default without any problems, but when i install it and reboot, the network connection is not working? i haven't changed any settings. i tried using static ip, but using that, i can't even ping the router .. i changed network cables, didn't help | 09:24 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: still copying only about 60g to go | 09:24 |
| Slart | SpadXIII: if the network works with the live cd I think it's pretty safe to assume that the cables, routers and such are all ok | 09:24 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: i hope i am not going to loose you before I am done i will be very lost | 09:25 |
| Slart | SpadXIII: I don't know what the difference is between the live cd and a real install.. might be some stuff though | 09:25 |
| SpadXIII | Slart: had the same idea indeed, but why doesn't it work on the installed ? | 09:25 |
| Slart | SpadXIII: I don't know.. wired connections usually just work.. I honestly don't really know where to start looking | 09:26 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: dang, I'm getting sleepy. I'm suppose to wake up early tomorrow and drink beer. | 09:26 |
| CSS_Guru | slart: why do you need the glxgears? | 09:26 |
| SpadXIII | Slart: i guess quite a bit different because the live cd and net install cd's work just fine every single time and once installed, i have problems all the time (note: the live-cd won't work with my router wireless though) | 09:26 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: lol | 09:26 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: how lost will you be? Have you edited grub.lst before? /etc/fstab? | 09:27 |

| Slart | ank123: smart failure usually means you win a trip to the computer store to buy a new hard drive =/ | 09:34 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: check that in Wicd's preferences, the name of the interface is correct | 09:34 |
| Danic | k | 09:34 |
| ank123 | slart: how come i cant boot ubuntu or any othr bootable cd | 09:35 |
| Slart | ank123: BIOS settings? | 09:35 |
| ank123 | nops..everything okk there. | 09:35 |
| transMIssion | adam7: its eth0. think it correct so far... | 09:35 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: and what about the wireless interface? | 09:35 |
| Skapare | ank123: what happens when you TRY to boot from a CD? | 09:35 |
| transMIssion | adam7: i only use wired | 09:35 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: oh, ok. did you plug the wire cable in? | 09:36 |
| transMIssion | adam7: wireless is blank | 09:36 |
| Slart | ank123: then I don't really know.. that's the only place the information could be.. there's no operating system running when it decides to boot from a cd | 09:36 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: that's correct, it should be blank if you don't use it | 09:36 |
| ank123 | skapare: nthng..the sam error came..its asks me to backup the dta ..says f1 to continue but nthng happens on pressing f1 | 09:36 |
| transMIssion | adam7: yeah im chattin with you, don't i? | 09:36 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: well, people sometimes have more than 1 computer. people regularlly come in here and tell us how their network conncetion doesn't work | 09:37 |
| Skapare | ank123: "it" what asks you this? the BIOS? | 09:37 |
| Skapare | ank123: does your BIOS offer you a popup boot selection menu ... usually actived by pressing ESC at BIOS POST | 09:37 |
| transMIssion | adam7: shure sry | 09:37 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: np. check the always show wired interface box xin wicd's preferences | 09:37 |
| ank123 | skapare: the erore ya..probably the bios | 09:37 |
| transMIssion | adam7: is checked | 09:38 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: ok, press ok in the preference dialog, then hit the refresh button | 09:38 |
| Skapare | ank123: so the message is just to back up data, not that the CD is failing? | 09:38 |
| aperson | Slart, come to think of it, do you think it's due to my encrypted ~/ ? | 09:38 |
| transMIssion | adam7: i used the command "sudo dhclient3" before... now my internet works. | 09:38 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: yep, that would do it | 09:38 |
| adam7 | is this a desktop? | 09:38 |
| Slart | aperson: it might be.. I don't see anything in the log though | 09:39 |
| transMIssion | adam7: cool it works | 09:39 |
| Skapare | ank123: is the CD first in the boot order list? or did you popup the boot selector and select the CD? | 09:39 |
| ank123 | skapare: i can set the boot order setiings but nthng seems to happen on pessing f1 | 09:39 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: cool. are you using a desktop? | 09:39 |
| transMIssion | adam7: how can i send it to the tray | 09:39 |
| Skapare | ank123: I don't think F1 will help | 09:39 |
| transMIssion | adam7: yes | 09:39 |
| aperson | Slart, once I log in myself, timed login works if I log out | 09:39 |
| transMIssion | adam7: standard gnome | 09:39 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: reboot the computer, if you're using gnome or kde it'll show up, or you can run wicd-client now | 09:39 |
| Skapare | ank123: it's starting something else ... do you have any USB flash drives in the machine at the time? | 09:39 |
| ank123 | skapare: i know how to boot the cd..it says f1 to continue | 09:40 |
| transMIssion | adam7: whats the command to run wicd client? | 09:40 |
| ank123 | skapare: i do..but i dnt have a bootable usb flash drive | 09:40 |
| Slart | aperson: that sounds like it could be encryption related... once you log in the drive is unencrypted, right? so the next time you try it works? | 09:40 |
| leagris | how can I enable the update-manager notification icon? | 09:40 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: wicd-client <-- just that | 09:40 |
| transMIssion | adam7: i cant find it in the menu | 09:40 |
| === sean is now known as Guest68535 | ||
| transMIssion | ok | 09:40 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: it should be in the Internet menu under applications | 09:40 |
| Skapare | ank123: yeah but based on that message, it isn't going to "continue" where you want because it already diverted away from what you want | 09:40 |
| aperson | Slart, yeah | 09:40 |
| adam7 | Skapare: I've seen computers with dead HDDs refuse to boot from CDs, IIRC | 09:41 |

| transMIssion | adam7: thats nice. thx very much | 09:41 |
| adam7 | transMIssion: np | 09:41 |
| Slart | aperson: it's for Kubuntu but I guess the same thing might happen on ubuntu | 09:41 |
| yiling | haha | 09:41 |
| Skapare | adam7: yup, seen that, too ... but consider this: Sandisk USB flash drives emulate TWO devices, a hard drive AND a CD drive ... they put their security management software on the emulated CD drive | 09:41 |
| ank123 | skapare: yes ,it is supposed to boot from cd. but miracously it did a while ago..with an orignal hp recovery disc.. | 09:42 |
| ank123 | skapare: now it doesnt | 09:42 |
| actafool | how can i fix my display flickering ? | 09:42 |
| adam7 | Skapare: that could screw it up, too. | 09:42 |
| aperson | Slart, I'd assume that too. I appreciate your time, thanks | 09:42 |
| Slart | aperson: you're welcome | 09:43 |
| adam7 | Skapare: that's the first thing I always turn off on those drives | 09:43 |
| Skapare | adam7: so with a Sandisk USB in there, it would see TWO CD drives, the one in the USB flash drive, and the real one ... if the probe order got the flash one first, it would try to boot that | 09:43 |
| yiling | kkk | 09:43 |
| adam7 | Skapare: yeah, I see | 09:43 |
| Skapare | ank123: be sure ALL USB devices are removed from the machine, except for the CD you are booting if it is USB attached | 09:43 |
| leagris | I have no notification icon for updates. How can I enable it? | 09:44 |
| Skapare | adam7: additionally, their emulation is defective ... it presents as a larger ISO image than is really there ... it is ISO formatted correctly, but the media size is presented too large, and accesses to higher sectors fail | 09:45 |
| Topaza | HIII | 09:45 |
| ank123 | skapare: how do we get to know a hdd has failed..it doesnt run/spin or it doesnt boot? | 09:45 |
| Skapare | adam7: if you merely mount the ISO from its fake CD, that's OK ... if you try to dd the ISO image, FAIL | 09:45 |
| Topaza | Hoooola | 09:46 |
| jcadam | #ubunt-motu | 09:46 |
| Skapare | ank123: there are many failure modes for HDs ... from being completely unrecognizable as existing ... to apparently operating and not doing what is expected of it | 09:46 |
| Skapare | ank123: in between you get failure modes like: recognized, but all I/O attempts just freeze | 09:46 |
| leagris | I have no update notification icon on bars. How is it enabled? | 09:47 |
| transMIssion | #xchat | 09:47 |
| transMIssion | hm... | 09:47 |
| ank123 | skapare: i was using ubuntu in live sesson to partition the hdd.. i had used testdisk ..could it be held for the same | 09:47 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: alright copying is finally complete only one error cp: cannot stat `/home/durando/.gvfs': Permission denied | 09:48 |
| Skapare | ank123: sorry I don't understand the foundation behind that question | 09:48 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: should i reboot to livecd? | 09:48 |
| Skapare | ank123: is your hard drive suspected of failing? | 09:48 |
| leagris | update-manager does not show an icon on desktop bar when updates are availables. This worked with earlier version of ubuntu. How to fix that? | 09:49 |
| ank123 | skapare: yes i suspect it. i feel (and hope) its just a software rather a booting problem | 09:49 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: i am going to reboot to livecd brb | 09:49 |
| actafool | how can i fix my display flickering ? | 09:50 |
| Skapare | ank123: disconnect the hard drive ... then try booting the CD that way | 09:50 |
| Slart | leagris: there is a setting in .. system, administration, update-manager, press the settings button | 09:50 |
| actafool | need to fix my refresh rate | 09:50 |
| Skapare | ank123: if the CD boots fine always with the HD disconnected, there's apparently an issue | 09:50 |
| petsounds | hello, i just bought asus eee pc 1000HE yesterday. and by default the OS is wXP and i want to use ubuntu netbook remix along with wxp. i'm waiting for your answer before i download unr. thank you. | 09:50 |
| ank123 | skapare: heyy thats a gud idea...buts it my laptop is it possible without risks.. | 09:51 |
| Skapare | ank123: how is HD connected? (IDE (primary? secondary? master? slave?), SATA, USB, Firewire) ... how is CD connected? | 09:51 |
| leagris | Start, I am there and it says alert when updates are availables | 09:51 |
| leagris | Slart: | 09:51 |
| ank123 | skapare: hdd is primare sata. | 09:52 |
| Slart | leagris: hmm.. then I don't really know what to check | 09:52 |
| Skapare | ank123: should be a place underneath to access the HD ... 2 to 4 small screws to open up | 09:52 |
| Skapare | ank123: CD is in the laptop or external? | 09:52 |

| aperson | vastal, yahoo doesn't make a linux version, so it is the only way. what's wrong with pidgin? | 09:59 |
| delicowa | hi | 09:59 |
| kuru | except that when someone replies to it, it goes to nowhere | 09:59 |
| kuru | now i don't have a mail server for that domain, as it is only for sending out newsletters | 10:00 |

| durando | FatsDominoTheory: do i keep my swap partition or does that get created on the lvm? | 10:04 |
| Skapare | Slart: contrast that to 10.0.0.0/8 which specifically is reserved for private networks ... IMHO they should have reserved 1.0.0.0/8 instead of 10.0.0.0/8 for that | 10:04 |
| leagris | Skapare: 10.0.0.0/8 is reserved for LAN as of RFC-1918 | 10:05 |
| transMIssion | bye | 10:05 |
| Slart | actafool: ah.. I missed your answer there.. sorry.. so, it's flickering despite being a flat screen? that's odd.. flat screens are usually not as sensitive to low frequencies as crts | 10:05 |
| Skapare | leagris: like I said | 10:05 |
| Slart | actafool: anyways.. if you look at your pastebin.. at line 202, 203 | 10:05 |
| Skapare | leagris: I'm just saying they should have used 1.0.0.0/8 for that purpose instead ... but what is done is done | 10:06 |
| actafool | if i look there ? | 10:06 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: You can leave swap partition the way it is if you'd like. Or you can swap onto lvm. Either one you'd like. Its probably easiest to just leave it. | 10:06 |
| actafool | ah.. | 10:06 |
| actafool | unable to... | 10:06 |
| Slart | Skapare: mm... probably the result of someone's kid scribbling on someone meeting notes =) | 10:06 |
| Skapare | Slart: yeah that, or the message was written on a napkin and smeared | 10:07 |

| Skapare | Slart: the reservations of 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16 is more puzzling | 10:08 |
| actafool | ? | 10:08 |
| Slart | actafool: if that doesn't work ubuntu uses some safe defaults that should work on almost all screens.. the downside of this is that you won't be using your monitors full capabilities | 10:08 |
| actafool | nvm | 10:08 |
| actafool | just wanna stop this flickering | 10:08 |
| actafool | :) | 10:08 |
| Slart | actafool: what we can do is to input those values manually in your xorg.conf file.. then it will use those values instead of it's own safe defaults | 10:08 |
| actafool | and how we will do it ? | 10:08 |
| Slart | actafool: so you need to find out what horizontal and vertical frequences your monitor can handle | 10:09 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: cool. mount the 100mb partition somewhere and mount the the lvm you created somewhere. | 10:09 |
| Skapare | Slart: but what will _really_ get your goat is that I have seen on the BGP routing tables an announced route for 127.0.0.0/24 | 10:09 |

| chadi | c0mp13371331337, thank you... but being new to Ubuntu, I wonder why was the 3.5 official release delayed? | 10:13 |
| actafool | take a look | 10:13 |
| FloodBot2 | actafool: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:13 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: then mount the device to that directory: "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/newboot" | 10:13 |
| Slart | actafool: after line 22, add a new line.. HorizSync 30.0 - 92.0 | 10:13 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot | 10:14 |
| durando | ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/lvm | 10:14 |
| durando | mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' | 10:14 |
| milligan_ | 192.168.10.196:/mnt/media /home/xbmc nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr <- shouldn't that entry in fstab automount the nfs share in question ? | 10:14 |
| c0mp13371331337 | chadi: Not being involved in the package maintenance personally, I can only assume that they're still working on the Ubuntu-fications for the Ubuntu-specific build of firefox. | 10:14 |
| Slart | actafool: and then again a new line with VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 | 10:14 |
| actafool | ok i will do it now | 10:14 |
| causasui | Anyone know why indicator-applet is using 50% of my cpu? | 10:15 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Thats that wrong device. /dev/sdb1. | 10:15 |

| actafool | so this should slove my problem ? | 10:15 |
| chadi | c0mp13371331337, thank you :-) | 10:15 |
| c0mp13371331337 | chadi: No prob | 10:16 |
| Slart | actafool: I hope so.. if that doesn't do it you can still add some more stuff.. but let's give it a try | 10:16 |
| actafool | okay | 10:16 |
| actafool | so i need to restart now | 10:16 |
| actafool | ? | 10:16 |
| Slart | actafool: so reboot | 10:16 |
| actafool | okay | 10:16 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Did your lvm volume group come up automatically? Is there a /dev/mapper/vg-root entry? | 10:16 |
| Slart | actafool: yes | 10:16 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: /dev/sdb1 = lvm partition | 10:16 |

| FatsDominoTheory | durando: is there a /dev/vg ? | 10:17 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: nope | 10:18 |
| nsadmin | durando: try vgscan | 10:18 |
| Wikkedfin | is there a way to change an account name(rename) to something else say i wanted to change Bob to Bob2 | 10:18 |
| durando | oh wait | 10:18 |
| durando | lvm2 isn't installed | 10:18 |
| durando | installing lvm2 | 10:19 |
| Slart | Wikkedfin: I think it can be tricky.. I would consider creating a new user entirely | 10:20 |
| durando | ok lvm2 is still not working | 10:20 |
| durando | but is installed | 10:20 |
| nsadmin | durando: pvscan | 10:20 |

| durando | ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/boot$ sudo pvscan | 10:21 |
| durando | PV /dev/sdb1 VG vg lvm2 [465.76 GB / 15.76 GB free] | 10:21 |
| durando | Total: 1 [465.76 GB] / in use: 1 [465.76 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] | 10:21 |
| Slart | Wikkedfin: have a look at this.. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/ but be careful.. you might end up with a system you cant login to | 10:21 |
| stealth- | ugh! anyone know how I can get my /etc/motd file to stay static and not have ubuntu editing it all the time??? What program controls this? | 10:22 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: vgchange -ay vg | 10:22 |
| nsadmin | ok, now vgscan | 10:22 |
| nsadmin | oh wait, nm, the vg is right there, do Fats | 10:23 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/lvm$ sudo vgchange -ay vg | 10:24 |
| s27 | how i find a remove files that end with extention .o from a directory | 10:24 |
| durando | 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active | 10:24 |
| durando | ok so how do i mount it | 10:24 |
| nsadmin | durando: so there should now be a /dev/vg/ | 10:24 |
| Green_ | s27: rm *.o in the directory would do it | 10:24 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: sweet as. mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt/mountpoint | 10:24 |
| s27 | i mean recursively | 10:24 |
| nsadmin | you'd use find and xargs | 10:25 |
| Green_ | s27: rm -r *.o | 10:25 |
| durando | ok | 10:25 |
| Slart | s27: "find" combined with "rm" ... but test it using echo or something.. things can go very wrong | 10:25 |
| Green_ | s27: at the base of the tree | 10:25 |
| Slart | oh.. rm has a -r switch.. nice | 10:25 |
| s27 | when i do a find . | grep .o | xargs rm | 10:25 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/lvm$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt/lvm | 10:25 |
| durando | ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/lvm$ ls | 10:25 |
| durando | there is nothing there | 10:25 |
| s27 | it shows all files which have a o in that | 10:25 |
| s27 | i want to find all files that end with .o | 10:26 |
| Slart | s27: . means any character in regexp | 10:26 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: thats not good. Where did it all go? | 10:26 |
| durando | oh wait its there now | 10:26 |
| s27 | Slart: how do i do it? | 10:26 |
| durando | hrmm | 10:26 |
| Slart | s27: google for regular expressions.. it's very different from the wildcard stuff that is used in other places | 10:26 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: ok so all your all your stuff is in /mnt/lvm? | 10:26 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: yes | 10:27 |
| Slart | s27: I think you can try using \.o instead of .o though.. that should work | 10:27 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: did you mount /dev/sda1 somewhere? | 10:27 |
| llutz | s27: "find . -name *.o -exec rm {} \;" | 10:27 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: /dev/sda1 = /mnt/boot | 10:27 |
| nsadmin | you'll want to quote the *.0 | 10:27 |
| Wikkedfin | spanx | 10:27 |
| fritz1 | Is anyone here knows something about ATI`s Svideo? | 10:27 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: so should i cp /mnt/lvm/boot /mnt/boot/boot? | 10:28 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: "cd /mnt/lvm/boot" then "mv * /mnt/boot/" | 10:28 |
| stealth- | ugh! anyone know how I can get my /etc/motd file to stay static and not have ubuntu editing it all the time??? What program controls this? | 10:28 |
| durando | ok | 10:28 |
| fritz1 | Can someone help me with my ATI? | 10:29 |
| durando | ok | 10:29 |
| durando | all moved | 10:29 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: all moved, now what? | 10:30 |
| AntonioPT | Hi| | 10:30 |
| AntonioPT | Hi! | 10:30 |
| ortsvorsteher | stealth-: ĵust read the man page of motd . you will see that is a dynamic file | 10:30 |
| stealth- | ortsvorsteher: oh, opps. Sorry, i have a bad habit of forgetting there is man pages for files. Thanks, ill read up on that :) | 10:31 |
| ortsvorsteher | :) | 10:31 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: now pvcreate /dev/sda2. I don't remember the exact command, but you've done it when you created the other pv. | 10:31 |
| vigo | This 9.04 got all messed up, (user error) if I backup /home/usr will all the personal settings, like documents and installed packages be replaced or should I rsync directory by directory? | 10:31 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: alright i will have to consult the manpage | 10:32 |
| AntonioPT | When I play a SDL game someone(:D) sends the left arrow key repeatedly... In the console this appears: | 10:32 |
| AntonioPT | unknown chip id 0x95c4, can't guess. | 10:32 |
| durando | ack i have no clue | 10:32 |
| durando | do you still have it from our chat log? | 10:32 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: It looks like its just "sudo pvcreate /dev/sda2" | 10:33 |
| AntonioPT | I have the fglrx ATI drivers installed, but I tried uninstalling them and the problem is the same. | 10:33 |
| iceroot | is there a way to host something like googlecalendar with ubuntu? so i can access with lightning and must not use googlecalendar? | 10:33 |

| A4Tech_ | Hey all. My friend asked whether it was possible to copy the distro (ubuntu), without violating copyright home. Preferably a few replies, thanks. | 10:33 |
| AntonioPT | unknown chip id 0x95c4, can't guess. | 10:34 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Then use vgextend to add that pv to the vg volume group. | 10:34 |
| AntonioPT | A4Tech_: you can copy ubuntu for free, it's GPL. | 10:34 |
| Slart | AntonioPT: tried turning off the desktop effects? | 10:34 |
| AntonioPT | Slart: yes, they are turned off (plain metacity) and I also tried with them on. | 10:34 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: vgextend vg /dev/sda2 | 10:35 |
| Slart | AntonioPT: if you google the error message you'll find lots of hits about it... can't seem to find any good solutions though | 10:35 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/boot/grub$ sudo vgextend vg /dev/sda2 | 10:35 |
| durando | /dev/sda2 not identified as an existing physical volume | 10:35 |
| durando | Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda2' to volume group 'vg'. | 10:35 |
| Slart | AntonioPT: some people fixed it by reinstalling graphics drivers, it seems.. | 10:35 |
| AntonioPT | Slart: yes, I guess the ID is referent to my video card(Radeon HD 3400) | 10:36 |
| AntonioPT | Slart: will try that. | 10:36 |
| milligan_ | I need a script that runs a mount command, as root, after the system has booted up. How can I do this? Anyone got a link ? | 10:36 |
| Slart | !boot | milligan_ | 10:36 |
| ubottu | milligan_: 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 | 10:36 |

| Slart | milligan_: have a loot at the link about "own startup scripts" | 10:37 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_: do you know what fstab is? | 10:37 |
| zugiart | hey guys, I am trying to compress an .ogv video into .swf - what is the most convenient way to do this? I'm trying to upload my screencast to YouTube, and my original file is way too big | 10:37 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Did it error out? | 10:37 |
| milligan_ | AntonioPT, I tried using fstab, but it's not working. Tried two different options, but it doesn't mount for whatever reason | 10:37 |
| Slart | milligan_: but of course.. as AntonioPT is saying.. fstab is the normal way of mounting stuff | 10:37 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/boot/grub$ sudo pvcreate -f /dev/sda2 | 10:37 |
| durando | Device /dev/sda2 not found (or ignored by filtering). | 10:37 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_: could you please pastebin.org your fstab? | 10:38 |
| Slart | durando: please don't paste multi-line stuff here.. either use pm or a pastebin | 10:38 |
| durando | sorry Slart | 10:38 |

| diddy | What is local address 0.0.0.0 when using netstat? | 10:39 |
| vigo | zugiart: Have you looked at speedcrunch? I do not know if it is what you need, but that or 7-Zip or some like compression G-Zip and stuff could maybe work. | 10:39 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_: and which drive are you trying to mount? | 10:39 |
| milligan_ | AntonioPT, the nfs mount on 192.168.10.196 | 10:39 |
| llutz | diddy: "all interfaces/addresses" | 10:39 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_: XBMC? | 10:40 |
| milligan_ | AntonioPT, correct | 10:40 |
| Alemica | hi all | 10:40 |
| diddy | llutz: What is meant by that? | 10:40 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: alright i am really at a loss everything should be working at this point, it wont allow me to force it | 10:40 |
| milligan_ | AntonioPT, I'm trying to mount /mnt/media from the remote machine, in /home/xbmc on the local machine. | 10:40 |
| Alemica | can someone help me with vcredist pls?? | 10:41 |
| diddy | llutz: All interfaces on my computer? Isn't that 127.0.0.1 ? | 10:41 |
| milligan_ | AntonioPT, anyway, using the mount command and doing it manually, it works fine. Writing a script that does is no problem either .. maybe /etc/rc.local is a good idea ? However, is says that it's run at each multiuser runlevel .. does that mean it would be run several times during a boot ? | 10:41 |
| kuneli | hi | 10:43 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_:I've done a few searches and rc.local is the way to go, because apparently fstab can't mount nfs. No, I think it only runs at one level, a level calls MULTIUSER level. | 10:43 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: The entry in dev exists? its not mounted or anything is it? | 10:43 |
| paolo88 | hi. I need to access to my pc using ssh. The issue is the my ip is dinamic, and it canghe without turn off the router too. Anyone can explain to me the services of http://www.dyndns.com/ ? | 10:43 |
| milligan_ | AntonioPT, alright .. so, make a bash script that runs the command, and put sh /root/script.sh in /etc/rc.local .. ? | 10:44 |
| shaullx | can u rec me for a good rar app? | 10:44 |
| Alemica | someone can help me with vcredist_x86 pls???? | 10:44 |
| nsadmin | paolo88 does the website describe its own services? | 10:44 |
| kuneli | this is cool | 10:45 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_: yes, I guess... | 10:45 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: i got it my bad when i created the new partition it got reset to /dev/sda3 | 10:45 |
| dethray | Is read-edid available for amd64? | 10:45 |
| nsadmin | dethray: probably | 10:45 |
| durando | ok | 10:45 |
| durando | so i added it to vg | 10:46 |
| dethray | can't get it through apt-get install | 10:46 |
| shaullx | any winrar like apps?... | 10:46 |
| paolo88 | nsadmin: yes, but if i want hear any poeple taht use it , if is it possible | 10:46 |
| AntonioPT | When I play a SDL game someone(:D) sends the left arrow key repeatedly... In the console this appears: | 10:46 |
| AntonioPT | unknown chip id 0x95c4, can't guess. | 10:46 |
| kuneli | man how cann i get my screen res to 1024 to 768 | 10:46 |
| Slart | dethray: don't think it is | 10:46 |
| nsadmin | !find read-edid | 10:46 |
| ubottu | Found: read-edid | 10:46 |
| Slart | dethray: can't rememeber the reason for it though | 10:46 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: so now that both drives are part of vg what is the next step? | 10:46 |
| nsadmin | !find french-air | 10:46 |
| ubottu | Package/file french-air does not exist in jaunty | 10:46 |
| kuneli | so plz help me now | 10:46 |
| dethray | It's causing me to only have one available resolution | 10:46 |
| dethray | in xorg | 10:47 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: Then you can use lvextend to grow your lvm over the vg. | 10:47 |
| diddy | What is local address 0.0.0.0 when using netstat? | 10:47 |
| nsadmin | diddy: that's the "any address" | 10:47 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | thats broadcast | 10:47 |
| milligan_ | AntonioPT, rc.local is run by default ? I see the +x is set on all three groups, so it should be fine, right ? | 10:47 |
| durando | how? | 10:47 |
| durando | FatsDominoTheory: how? | 10:48 |
| diddy | nsadmin: What does any address mean? How can I have any address. Isn't that always 127.0.0.1? | 10:48 |
| vigo | Alemica: Is that the Downloader thing? | 10:48 |
| === kuneli is now known as geos64 | ||
| martinovich | Bonjour à tous, je viens d'installer zsh, et je ne parviens pas à me déplacer dans mon arborescence... | 10:48 |

| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 10:48 |
| nsadmin | diddy: for example in some servers you tell it to listen with address 0.0.0.0 and it will hear all addresses bound to the interface | 10:48 |
| AntonioPT | AntonioPT: it's run every bootup, for every user. but it will only mount when the root's turn comes, so the triple x (:D) should be fine. | 10:48 |
| milligan_ | true :) | 10:49 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_: sorry, that's for you | 10:49 |
| Alemica | it is microsoft visual c++ | 10:49 |
| geos64 | hi | 10:49 |
| milligan_ | awesome - Ill have to boot after the wife is done watching MXC, hehe. | 10:49 |
| Alemica | vigo:it is microsoft visual c++ | 10:50 |
| milligan_ | thanks for your help AntonioPT | 10:50 |
| FatsDominoTheory | durando: from the lvextend man page it looks like "lvextend /dev/mapper-root -l 100%FREE" | 10:50 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | diddy, if you have a wlan, and youre trying to connect to a peer, you do a broadcast, ask everybody, "are you the person im going to send data to?", after the other wifi spots have replied it will reply with a specific address | 10:50 |
| geos64 | what is mxc | 10:50 |
| AntonioPT | milligan_: :D you're welcome | 10:50 |

| FatsDominoTheory | durando: That should extend it to fill all space on your vg. vgdisplay shows how much free space you have to allocate. | 10:51 |
| diddy | Supersaiyan_IV, yes but the 0.0.0.0 is listed under local address. | 10:51 |
| vigo | Alemica: The respondent says is a simple .DLL grab to solve it. | 10:51 |
| diddy | 0.0.0.0 under foreign address makes sense to me but not under local. | 10:52 |
| diddy | Supersaiyan_IV, 0.0.0.0 under foreign address makes sense to me but not under local. | 10:52 |
| diddy | Supersaiyan_IV, even worse: what is :::* ? | 10:53 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | diddy, mine is under wlan0 and rtap0 as unknown address | 10:53 |

| drpyro | Flannel: thanks | 11:03 |
| dAnon | ubottu no it is not the way you mount the images so game can "see" the cd data | 11:03 |

| buckwild | i need help installing tovid | 11:04 |
| Flannel | jackbauer: the best way to get your questions answered is to ask them | 11:04 |
| vigo | cga: I am happy if I was of any help. | 11:05 |
| cga | vigo: i'm happy you've been =) | 11:05 |
| buckwild | i followed the installation instructions on tovid.org and it does not work | 11:05 |
| vigo | helloimme: what was the question? | 11:05 |
| jackbauer | ok Flannel | 11:05 |
| helloimme | vigo: after installing ubuntu, my computer takes about 5 more seconds to start the HP screen in the beggining (maybe the bios screen - it's before grub). i was wondering if this was normal? | 11:06 |
| jackbauer | So, I only have one domain | 11:06 |
| jackbauer | domain name | 11:06 |
| jackbauer | I want to host some applications | 11:06 |
| jackbauer | one of which is ispcp | 11:06 |
| Flannel | jackbauer: best if you ask all one line, makes it easier for people to read | 11:06 |
| jackbauer | oh yeah, sorry | 11:06 |
| vigo | helloime: Is it a dual boot configuration? | 11:06 |
| helloimme | vigo: yeah, the second is windows 7. | 11:07 |
| buckwild | can someone plz help me to install tovid? | 11:07 |
| Flannel | buckwild: Whats wrong with the version in the repositories? | 11:08 |
| jackbauer | so one domain name, i want to use ispcp to add/manage/remove client sites from my server (to aid with the dns management, and directory, chroot, etc), I don't want to serve ispcp on port 80, so how can i set up virtual hosts in apache to serve ispcp from another port, say 23451, and still host a normal site (say wordpress) from port 80 | 11:08 |
| buckwild | i do not see it in the repositories so i had to download | 11:08 |
| Flannel | !info tovid | buckwild | 11:08 |
| ubottu | buckwild: tovid (source: tovid): tools for creating video DVDs, VCDs, and SVCDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.31-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 346 kB, installed size 1584 kB | 11:08 |
| buckwild | do i type that in terminal? | 11:09 |
| vigo | helloimme: May wanna try Fix Grub, or may even want to set Win as first option, MBR, then Grub or Ubuntu as second, I really do not know as much as I used to about new windows stuff, I walked out of the windows 5 years ago and never looked back, never really wanted to or needed to. | 11:09 |
| ortsvorsteher | buckwild: try " sudo apt-cache search tovid" in an terminal. if it will not be found, you have do update your sources.list | 11:10 |
| buckwild | when i search for tovid in the repositories, it brings up todisc | 11:11 |
| Flannel | buckwild: tovid is in multiverse | 11:11 |
| Flannel | buckwild: type sudo apt-get install tovid | 11:11 |
| helloimme | vigo: I want to leave GRUB, I was just wondering if this slow down was caused by some kind of damage to my hardware. I also wanted to ask if using Ubuntu would ever damage my hardware (maybe installing the wrong kind of drivers- I'm new when it comes to Linux) | 11:12 |
| buckwild | it said that it is already installed. I'm new to ubuntu. How do i launch?? | 11:12 |
| vigo | helloimme: No, GNU/Linux is a separate or different partition and has no effect on other systems, including other *nix or Linux systems that you may wish to try out. | 11:14 |
| buckwild | what is the APT line for multiverse? | 11:15 |
| helloimme | vigo: awesome, thanks vigo | 11:15 |
| sfdsd | hi guy's, could you help me with adjustment kdm autologin user with blank password? | 11:16 |
| iceroot | sfdsd: why not using a password? | 11:16 |
| vigo | helloime: The slow down could be a software thing, like Win7 is fighting for priority, or some silly thing, but they are two OS that are very independent of one another, they can be inter accessed by one another, but no,the boot slow down is just normal computer stuff. | 11:17 |
| sfdsd | ok, how I must auto loggedin with possword? | 11:17 |
| buckwild | can someone plz help me get to the multiverse repository? | 11:19 |
| iceroot | sfdsd: system - administration - sessions (with gnome) | 11:19 |
| Flannel | buckwild: If you already have it installed, then you already have multiverse enabled | 11:19 |
| sfdsd | iceroot: actually, I use kde | 11:19 |
| buckwild | i dont see it on my software sources | 11:20 |
| iceroot | sfdsd: #kubuntu | 11:20 |
| racecar56 | why isn't kdenlive (0.7.5) be able to render to mpeg2, 4 or NTSC anything? i have (k)ubuntu-restricted-extras | 11:20 |
| Flannel | buckwild: It's enabled by default, it's the bottom (of the four) checkboxes under the Ubuntu software tab, software restricted by copyright or legal issues | 11:21 |
| racecar56 | i think it wants something about mpeg2video | 11:21 |
| racecar56 | where can i get mpeg2video? | 11:21 |
| buckwild | i see it now. duh! | 11:21 |
| buckwild | Flannel: how do i launch tovid? | 11:22 |
| viginbala | hi everyone my speaker working only right side help me plz | 11:22 |
| someoneoverthere | hi to the room ,need assistance,im on live cd | 11:22 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: are the speakers in working condition (i.e. they work on other computers) | 11:23 |
| viginbala | yeah | 11:23 |
| viginbala | working correctly on another computer | 11:23 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: hmmm, is the audio plug ALL the way in? | 11:23 |
| josefig | i tried to open cfdisk and it said: cannot open disk, what can I do? could be because i partitioned with win vista manager system? | 11:23 |
| racecar56 | josefig: possible | 11:23 |
| racecar56 | where can i get mpeg2video? | 11:24 |
| josefig | racecar56: now what can I do? | 11:24 |
| viginbala | racecar56: yeah but hearing sound right side only | 11:24 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: hmm, maybe an issue with the sound server/sound card | 11:24 |
| racecar56 | josefig: you might have to use gparted and re-format those partitions :'( | 11:25 |
| viginbala | racecar: how to resolve that? | 11:25 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: is the sound card detachable (you can take it out of the computer)? | 11:25 |
| josefig | racecar56: omg, really? i guessed there was another solution :s | 11:25 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: or is it the plain ol' motherboard plug thing? | 11:25 |
| racecar56 | josefig: i don't know, talk with others too because i havent used vista in ages | 11:26 |
| viginbala | racecar56: i can't understan u | 11:26 |
| Flannel | buckwild: no idea, I'd try 'tovid' in a terminal | 11:26 |
| racecar56 | josefig: PLEASE don't try my advice unless it's at last resort | 11:26 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: is the audio plug on the motherboard | 11:26 |
| viginbala | racecar56: yeah inbuild | 11:27 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: k, may be the motherboard sound card being bad but idk | 11:27 |
| buckwild | i'll try that thanks | 11:27 |
| josefig | racecar56: i gonna cry, 'cos i was usin' ubuntu but i can't live without my slacky (:x) so i tried to install it but i faced with this tiny problem lol :s | 11:27 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: first you should try another sound server like OSS or pulseaduio | 11:27 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: *audio | 11:27 |
| racecar56 | josefig: don't try to reformat them yet | 11:28 |
| racecar56 | josefig: you ARE talking about windows vista's partition thingy right? | 11:28 |
| racecar56 | josefig: that u used? | 11:28 |
| josefig | racecar56: the manager system, amm start>system right click and manage :s | 11:29 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: second, maybe you should see if you have a(n old) sound card buried somewhere, maybe it could work | 11:29 |
| racecar56 | josefig: yea, thats it | 11:29 |
| Crewsr3 | So FIrefox 3.5 came out......is there a reason that it has not been pushed out with update manager? Its my understanding that you can somehow manually download it from the repos | 11:29 |
| racecar56 | Crewsr3: !latest? | 11:29 |
| Crewsr3 | racecar56, I don't understand..... | 11:30 |
| racecar56 | Crewsr3: they will get around there eventually | 11:30 |
| racecar56 | !latest | Crewsr3 | 11:30 |
| ubottu | Crewsr3: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 11:30 |
| josefig | racecar56: yep and you know i checked today the partitions and the fu..ing vista says that i have no used any kb yet from these partitions lol and in ubuntu says i used 79% from 1 partition | 11:30 |

| viginbala | racecar56 now working correctly bro thanks | 11:31 |
| racecar56 | josefig: what the heck, probably because windows is evil and they don't bother reading info about extX partitions | 11:31 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: :D | 11:31 |
| Crewsr3 | racecar56, I remember a few times when the same day that firefox was release that I would get it via update manager.....is there something this is slow it down this time around? | 11:31 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: you changed the sound server? | 11:31 |
| josefig | racecar56: perhaps, damn it. | 11:31 |
| josefig | any idea guys? | 11:32 |
| racecar56 | Crewsr3: maybe you had a ppa or something and didn't know it | 11:32 |
| viginbala | no bro | 11:32 |
| viginbala | unplug and repluged n simply working | 11:32 |
| josefig | i sounded like a mom when is trying to buy dinner :p | 11:32 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: aha | 11:32 |
| racecar56 | viginbala: :D | 11:32 |
| viginbala | racecar56 :P | 11:32 |
| racecar56 | josefig: hmm, ah well | 11:32 |
| josefig | lemme chk, brb | 11:32 |
| viginbala | brb | 11:33 |
| Crewsr3 | racecar56, that could have been true. If you had to guess when it will be pushed out via update manager...how long to do you think it would be....two weeks after the public release....three weeks? | 11:33 |
| JPSman | How can I access my trash from the terminal? I'm running Wubi | 11:33 |
| racecar56 | JPSman: hmm, trash is a GUI thing | 11:35 |
| racecar56 | JPSman: i used to know... | 11:35 |
| racecar56 | JPSman: i *think* it's buried somewhere in .local | 11:35 |

| oskar- | smoo2: do you have a boot cd? | 11:48 |
| smoo2 | oskar-: I dont have a cd drive in the PC! but I do have the USB stick I installed from, I guess I need to use that and edit grub.conf? | 11:48 |

| ubottu | ieshet_: 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. :-) | 12:14 |
| ieshet_ | ok; sry | 12:14 |
| arnault | hi | 12:14 |
| ieshet_ | !ask since this is the first linux OS I am using i do not know how to get the sound to work on my dc 7800 | 12:15 |
| vigo | ieshet_: Have you looked at the forums? You may need certain drivers or some other stuff, ALSA,Pulse stuff like that. | 12:15 |
| OswaldGlinkmeyer | DeaCon, looks like I overdid it. A bit too big now, but at least I know how to change the font. Thanks. | 12:15 |
| jrib | ohletmeinnowjesu: in particular you want to understand how /etc/event.d works and how to create new events... | 12:15 |
| arnault | hi everybody, i do have a question about Thunderbird and the way it stores the data | 12:15 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | jrib: new events like receiving a call? | 12:15 |
| jrib | ohletmeinnowjesu: no, like using mgetty instead of getty I guess. Have you installed mgetty and just tried reading its documentation in /usr/share/doc/? | 12:16 |
| pascal_ | my home users are locked in theire /home/user folders i tried to create a ln -s to theire /var/www/user folders but in http i keep getting a 403 forbidden page. the target folder is chmod 775 and even under 777 it doesn't work. somebody has an idea? | 12:16 |
| vigo | !sound | ieshet_ | 12:16 |
| ubottu | ieshet_: 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 | 12:16 |
| ieshet_ | several forums were looked in but i do not understand the lingo and therefor am unable to comprehend what to do | 12:16 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | jrib: no didnt think of that | 12:16 |

| vigo | jacquesdupondt: It is an ongoing process to solve such matters, some would druther we did not solve them, but those are not the ones that I care to use anymore. | 12:53 |
| magnetron | ]Spectre[: yes. use the USB creator that is available in ubuntu | 12:53 |
| vigo | *not | 12:53 |
| netsurf3 | ]Spectre[, very possible :) | 12:54 |
| jacquesdupontd | vigo to type my nick well so i see when you talk to me type the first letters and tab then | 12:54 |
| mobi-sheep | magnetron: Thanks. Since it's in /usr/share/doc/irssi-scripts, it's already linked to ~/.irssi/scripts and I can just run it or should I set up symbolic links for that? | 12:54 |

| mobi-sheep | magnetron: s/already linked/is it already linked/ | 12:54 |
| ]Spectre[ | magnetron,netsurf3,so I must do a local hard drive ubuntu installation and after I need to run the "usb creator tool" from ubuntu ? | 12:54 |
| jacquesdupontd | development | 12:55 |
| fredcadet | its easy to run it on a usb, even installing ubuntu on a usb is easy. my problem is i want the option to run ubuntu with a r/w as it is on the disc without having to full install | 12:55 |
| ackbahr | Hi! | 12:55 |
| magnetron | ]Spectre[: no, first boot from USB without installing to hard drive, then create a USB | 12:55 |
| ]Spectre[ | thanks | 12:56 |
| netsurf3 | ]Spectre[, i would recommend seeing if it exists on the live cd | 12:56 |
| jacquesdupontd | fredcadet, the thing is that you should have made that during the process of creating your live usb bootable disk | 12:56 |
| magnetron | ]Spectre[: i mean , first boot from CD | 12:56 |
| OswaldGlinkmeyer | Oskar-, it just seems like it should be more automatic than this. When I upgraded Firefox in Windows, it just installed over the old version. Here, I've got to find all the icons (in the menu, on the toolbar, on the desktop) and change them manually. and I'm supposed to leave 3.0.11 there? That doesn't seem intuitive to me. | 12:56 |
| ackbahr | How can I copy / to a USB HD without cyclically copying this HD (as it is mounted as a subdirectory of /)? | 12:56 |
| jacquesdupontd | fredcadet, not sure tho | 12:56 |
| netsurf3 | magnetron, is it in the start menu? | 12:56 |
| oskar- | fredcadet: then you should create partitions on the stick, copy the files to it and install a boot loader like grub onto the stick | 12:56 |

| jacquesdupontd | fredcadet, yeah oskar- gave the good idea | 12:57 |
| magnetron | jacquesdupontd: the bootable USB creator is a much better idea | 12:57 |
| oskar- | OswaldGlinkmeyer: if you want firefox 3.5 support, switch to 9.10 in october | 12:57 |
| jacquesdupontd | vigo, for development , | 12:57 |
| jacquesdupontd | ? | 12:57 |
| farchumbre | is there any instant messenger like pidgin for ubuntu, that has video support and connects to yahoo messenger? | 12:57 |
| magnetron | oskar-: wrong! firefox 3.5 IS included in Ubuntu 9.04 !!!! | 12:58 |
| jacquesdupontd | magnetron, you can add features after it has been created ? | 12:58 |

| Vontein | I want Itunes on my Ubuntu | 13:05 |
| [MindVirus] | Vontein, iTunes doesn't exist on Ubuntu. | 13:05 |
| magnetron | Vontein: Call Apple Inc., maybe they will make an Itunes for Ubuntu for you | 13:05 |
| tameemi | jack thanks man but how? | 13:05 |
| OswaldGlinkmeyer | Thanks, DeaCon, I've already got it installed. I think the issue is that it's installed parallel to 3.0.11 and 3.0.11 is the supported version in 9.04. | 13:05 |
| Vontein | ... | 13:06 |
| [MindVirus] | magnetron, no need for sarcasm. | 13:06 |
| [MindVirus] | Vontein, Apple makes iTunes for Windows and Mac only. | 13:06 |
| Vontein | fukked up | 13:06 |
| Vontein | why dont make for ubuntu ?? | 13:06 |
| fredcadet | there is a few programs that do the same thing as itunes | 13:06 |
| magnetron | Vontein: ask them | 13:06 |
| fredcadet | because its owned by apple and they dont want that | 13:07 |

| iceroot | how to use a different xorf.conf for a specific user? | 13:30 |
| MindVirus | iceroot, that's not what you want to do. | 13:31 |
| MindVirus | xorg.conf is system-specific. | 13:31 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: of course i want to do this | 13:31 |
| MindVirus | iceroot, you want an effect achieved through different means. | 13:31 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: for my games-account i dont want dual-view because wine is not able to handle dual-view | 13:31 |

| enzotib | laeg: maybe, i don't know | 14:58 |
| sliimstr | any ideas? | 14:58 |
| Halitech | LeoPinguim, same with you, I think the radeon 9550 has been dropped from support on the new driver so 1024x768 might be the best you can get | 14:58 |
| Fazer2 | LeoPinguim: you could try installing the newest video drivers from here (wait a sec for a link) | 14:58 |
| sliimstr | i installed on my laptop with no prob and it has an ATI card in it | 14:58 |
| Halitech | sliimstr, you could try the alt install cd | 14:59 |

| drpyro | hi every body | 15:00 |
| krummmpy | hello. i have a netbook (without cdrom drive) and i tried to install ubuntu using a usb stick. i have used unetbootin and it worked to boot from usb, but in the middle of the installation it try to find a cdrom drive (which i dont have) and then it abort the install. what should i do? | 15:00 |
| dakarn | krummmpy: when are you trying to find a cd rom drive? | 15:00 |
| Halitech | sliimstr, you install using the alt install cd first and then install the drivers | 15:01 |
| sliimstr | i read that the installer uses a specific screen resolution, and sometimes this causes the crash...i have to pass fd=false | 15:01 |
| krummmpy | dakarn: I'm not. The installer is... suddenly, after I choose which keyboard layout I'll use and where I'm located. | 15:01 |
| Fazer2 | should I file a bug about updating Qt4 in Jaunty to 4.5.2 version? | 15:01 |
| Halitech | Fazer2, no as its not a bug | 15:02 |
| sliimstr | halitch, how do i use the alt install cd? | 15:02 |
| Halitech | sliimstr, same way but instead of it bootinginto a usable desktop it starts the installer. ends up doing the same job, just doesn't have the fancy graphics to go along with it | 15:03 |
| MrStein | Hmm, (using Ubuntu 9.04) I played a DVD with Movie Player yesterday, but today it fails. IT tries to search for a "DVD Source" plugin but can't find one. Why is that ? Yesterday it played just fine. (I installed VLC since then, maybe that confuses it ?) | 15:04 |
| wanderer_ | can anyone point me to a website where i can join irc ...... or preferably point me to somewhere i can find the info | 15:04 |
| LeoPinguim | Fazer2: the only one update that show on update manager is fgrlx-modaliases | 15:04 |
| LeoPinguim | Fazer2: i've updated and now? | 15:04 |
| sliimstr | cool, i will try it, is there one for 9.04 | 15:04 |
| krummmpy | dakarn: The installer is on text mode, if this is important on any point. | 15:04 |
| Halitech | sliimstr, yes there is | 15:04 |
| Fazer2 | you could try installing xsever-xorg-video-ati and its dependencies | 15:05 |

| LeoPinguim | Fazer2: sorry for this, but I can do this by synapitcs? | 15:06 |
| Halitech | sliimstr, 32bit or 64bit? | 15:06 |
| Fazer2 | LeoPinguim: yes, it will be easier for you | 15:06 |
| sliimstr | my pc is 64bit, but i want to install the 32bit | 15:07 |

| LeoPinguim | thx for all man | 15:09 |
| jrib | Bookman: "mine does not work" is a bit vague | 15:10 |
| Halitech | LeoPinguim, CTRL + ALT + Backspace should restart X | 15:10 |
| Bookman | jrib: will not boot | 15:10 |
| Fazer2 | Halitech: not anymore | 15:10 |
| LeoPinguim | Halitech: doesnt works heh | 15:10 |
| Fazer2 | Halitech: it has been disabled by default | 15:10 |
| Halitech | Fazer2, when did they stop that from working? | 15:10 |
| jrib | Bookman: what doesn't boot? Your computer at all? | 15:10 |
| Fazer2 | Halitech: when Ubuntu 9.04 came out :-D | 15:11 |
| marco_ | sometimes the system has problems accessing the contents of my dvd-rom. is this normal? | 15:11 |
| Halitech | LeoPinguim, I havent used it in awhile so didn't know it had been disabled | 15:11 |
| LeoPinguim | no problem... | 15:11 |
| Fazer2 | Halitech: welcome to three months ago :-D | 15:11 |
| Halitech | Fazer2, well, was a handy way of restarting X | 15:11 |
| Bookman | jrib: ok, lets restart. I keep getting segmentation faults. I tried to test memory with the memory test boot option, it does not boot up that way. It faults out with an error that I cannot remember | 15:11 |
| LeoPinguim | I will cry!! my card video doesnt works =( | 15:11 |
| Fazer2 | Halitech: you can still enable that with a package dontzap | 15:12 |
| diddy | After executing netstat I am getting status LISTEN in the status colum for some ports. What about the ports that are listed but have a blank under "status"? | 15:12 |
| jrib | Bookman: you should write down the error and pastebin. Does the live cd's memtest work? | 15:12 |
| Fazer2 | Halitech: or by modyfing xorg.conf | 15:12 |
| Halitech | Fazer2, well, not like I used it very often but was handy, think it still works on Debian Lenny | 15:12 |
| Bookman | jrib: I have no live cd and Ubuntu does not recognize my cd writer | 15:12 |
| Fazer2 | Halitech: it has been changed upstream | 15:12 |
| jrib | Bookman: usb stick probably works as well if your computer can boot from it | 15:13 |
| SpadXIII | Bookman: you could use an usb stick? that's how i ran the live-cd | 15:13 |
| Halitech | Fazer2, maybe not then, not going to try it to find out, too may torrents open at the moment to reload :) | 15:13 |
| Bookman | jrib: nope, this machine will not boot from usb | 15:13 |
| pxo | hi! Does someone know how to set up freenet on a usb key ? | 15:13 |
| jrib | Bookman: then pastebin the error | 15:14 |
| Bookman | jrib: shoot, it is like playing craps rebooting this machine | 15:14 |
| Bookman | jrib: How can I pastebin a boot error? | 15:14 |
| jrib | Bookman: write it down and type it out | 15:14 |
| jrib | Bookman: if you are lazy, take a picture... | 15:15 |
| Fazer2 | LeoPinguim: I don't know if it will solve anything, but you can reconfigure video by going into recovery mode (when you select system to boot) and there is an option to do that | 15:15 |
| Bookman | jrib: hey, I'm not lazy here. Just a crapshoot if it boots again. | 15:15 |
| Dreki | is there anything in jaunty's network settings or anything that limits connections in any way, like how windows XP limits half open connections | 15:15 |

| taffy-nay | Hi all. I am trying to install 8.10 on to an old Presario v5000 laptop and am running into a few issues re: the wireless card. In live CD mode, Ubuntu does noit seem to be able to use the card, although it has done in the past. I cant figure out why it is being so flakey. As far as I can tell it is an Atheros card, which I am of the impression are well supported | 15:53 |
| taffy-nay | any idead | 15:53 |
| shivek | In google talk ,when i get a new IM it doesn't plays sound as it used to do earlier please help! | 15:53 |
| facundobatista | I tried Scribus, but doesn't work with dead keys (like óáé) | 15:53 |

| jrib | Bookman: cool | 15:57 |
| Kangarooo | what was that? pidgin started using a lot cpu. I saw 78 users also and now 1344. what was that? | 15:57 |
| jilbert | Stik: i think so. it is working, i had it working with my 7.10 | 15:58 |

| Kangarooo | yes edbian I saw that you wrote that.. (05:54:56 PM) edbian: 78 users now! | 15:59 |
| jrib | Bookman: you were on a server that stopped communicating with the other servers other people were on | 15:59 |
| edbian | Bookman: Then they reconnected right away apparently. | 15:59 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | hi guys | 16:00 |
| edbian | Bookman: Perhaps the server that went down was in a server farm and things weren't quite as seemless as they should have been. | 16:00 |

| mikebeecham | hi guys...I wanted to start using Amarok, but I'm put off by the glossy kde look of it...is there any way to make it look more like my gnome setup? | 16:01 |
| edbian | Laibsch: I used to have that problem all the time! Apparently the virtual box packages aren't updated appropriately with the kernel packages. Eventually (usually after 3 months of a release change) the virtual box packages are updated. Until then I used to have to run the older kernel. | 16:02 |

| mikebeecham | racecar56: which is it? | 16:02 |
| IHK | how do i check what the keycode is for the button i press? | 16:03 |
| racecar56 | mikebeecham: im gonna find | 16:03 |
| funkyHat | edbian: the vbox kernel modules use dkms, you might need to rebuild the module so it works with the newer kernel | 16:03 |
| Laibsch | edbian: I know the frustration. But the way I understand it, dkms is supposed to fix that. The module is always recompiled on the machine itself. At least, that is the theory. | 16:03 |
| Dr_Willis | \\`oot: sounds like you may be having some weird hardware issues... | 16:03 |
| racecar56 | mikebeecham: OH i remember! | 16:03 |

| poopuser | Can someone remind me what was the command to determinate windows position size etc? | 16:04 |
| \\`oot | Dr_Willis: CRAP... well, I tried the desktop install on this first and it gave the weirdest errors I've ever seen... got to 50% and complained about media issues (dev sr0)... something funky like that | 16:04 |
| jrib | IHK: xev | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | \\`oot: could be optical drive issues then.. or both... | 16:05 |
| edbian | \\`oot: sr0 during an install is usually referring to the install media (usb key, CD, etc etc) | 16:05 |
| \\`oot | Dr_Willis: It's a 10k Ultra160 HD in a 1U server... this thing should be a tank - it ran for years before it sat in my basement for 6mo :( | 16:05 |
| \\`oot | crap | 16:05 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: Do you have an idea why the vboxdrv module is not compiled here? Or does it even have a different name now? I looked around with modprobe and in /etc/init.d/ but found nothing obviously fixing the issue for me. | 16:05 |
| |slurpee| | Whenever I receive DHCP, my name servers are not being setup. It is really annoying. Anytime I leave my house and join a wireless network I need to FIND the DNS servers. It is usually the wireless access point or something. | 16:05 |
| david__ | arand? | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | \\`oot: hard drives are the MOST likely part of hardware to die from what ive seen... the fact its ran for years.. means very little :) | 16:05 |
| \\`oot | edbian: Thanks, that's what I suspected, even burned the Desktop ISO at 2x just to be sure the CD wasn't messed up | 16:05 |
| |slurpee| | I manually have to edit /etc/resolv.conf with the nameservers of the local nameserver to get dns to work. | 16:05 |
| funkyHat | Laibsch: there is a command you can run to force it to recompile (it tells you it if you try and use it and the correct version isn't compiled already) | 16:06 |
| \\`oot | Dr_Willis: I tried 4 DIFFERENT disks in it as primary | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | \\`oot: you could alwyas make a bootable-flash drive and install from that | 16:06 |

| funkyHat | Laibsch: possibly in dmesg | 16:06 |
| |slurpee| | Its like....anytime I connect to a new wifi network, I need to spend 10 minutes finding the DNS. | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | \\`oot: ive also seen ide cables go bad. | 16:06 |
| arand | david__: I'm just trying to figure out what that 100mb part might be.... | 16:06 |
| \\`oot | not IDE... Ultra160 SCSI inernal connectors off the MB | 16:06 |
| edbian | \\`oot: I almost always get I/O errors even on a slow burned flawless CD. I don't really know why. I ignore them. I think because they disk is so jam packed full of data? | 16:06 |
| david__ | its windows 7 | 16:06 |
| \\`oot | this box won't boot off USB | 16:06 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: Well, that's the thing. I'm looking for that command, but can't find it. | 16:06 |

| maxagaz | are there some applications on ubuntu to restore Windows datas from a hard drive that have been formated to NTFS ? | 16:07 |
| \\`oot | edbian: Well, this bombs the install at exactly 50%... very frustrating | 16:07 |
| david__ | there is win 7 installed on my system | 16:07 |
| arand | david__: nevermind, so you'll need to rezise sda2 to make room for ubu | 16:07 |
| edbian | maxagaz: What do you mean "restore windows data" ?? | 16:07 |
| funkyHat | Laibsch: sudo invoke-rc.d vboxdrv setup | 16:07 |
| \\`oot | well... we'll see | 16:07 |
| IHK | i got two keys, which does not give any keycode/keyevent using xev, is it possible to get the keycode somehow else? | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | david__: use windows and its tools to resizwe the windows partitions. it will be much faster at the task then ubuntu will be | 16:07 |
| kevix | poopuser: 'sudo fdisk -l' ? | 16:07 |
| david__ | thats what i want to do...but i dont know how to to it manually or through guided partitioning | 16:07 |
| arand | david__: How on earth do you fit win7 on 100mb though? | 16:07 |
| maxagaz | edbian, yes | 16:07 |
| IHK | if anyone knows? | 16:08 |
| Dr_Willis | david__: resize the iwndows stuff.. leving a part of the hd at the end 'unallocated' then let the ubuntu installer use the unallocated space | 16:08 |
| david__ | am... | 16:08 |
| \\`oot | I'll cross my fingers and hope this server install reboots OK after this, and if not I'll try a different 10k 78Gb disk | 16:08 |

| Bookman | edbian: maybe you misunderstood my issue. Mine was just a RAM problem | 16:08 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: Are you on Jaunty? | 16:08 |
| funkyHat | Laibsch: ya | 16:08 |
| arand | david__: well, so you are using the alternate (text-based install?) | 16:08 |
| david__ | yes, since the stnd does not work on my desktop | 16:09 |
| edbian | Bookman: *Bashful* I don't recall your issue | 16:09 |
| magnetron | brunis: 9.04 is not a long term release | 16:09 |
| funkyHat | Laibsch: virtualbox from sun, not community wotsit edition | 16:09 |
| david__ | installation was easy on my laptop | 16:09 |
| brunis | magnetron: ah, thx! | 16:10 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: I'm getting the feeling I'm missing a package here. "locate vbox.drv" returns nothing here.

| david__ | and the interface for the installer doesnt load correctly | 16:10 |
| arand | david__: I'm trying to fire up the installer to get some referencing, hang on. | 16:10 |
| magnetron | brunis: yes. | 16:10 |
| poopuser | kevix, i was referring to position of window in DE .... | 16:10 |
| david__ | thanks man | 16:10 |
| shivek | is there any way to permanentely mount hard drives | 16:10 |
| Bookman | edbian: no worries, I seem to be running just fine now. | 16:10 |
| maxagaz | edbian, i have friend who doesn't know a lot about computer, he had a lot of datas in his windows, and someone reinstalled windows on his system, without saving his datas, he is now looking for a way to restore it. That's why i'm wondering, if he comes with his hard drive to my home, his there a way for me to help him to restore his datas from my ubuntu ? | 16:10 |
| edbian | maxagaz: (plural of data is data) :) | 16:11 |
| brunis | magnetron: funny versioning scheme or silly assumptions on my part i guess :) | 16:11 |
| arand | david__: so the livecd hangs before it comes to the desktop? (That might mean issues later on when you've installed as well...) | 16:11 |
| kevix | shivek: you add info to /etc/fstab ? | 16:11 |
| david__ | i know... | 16:12 |
| shivek | kevix: thanks | 16:12 |
| poopuser | jesus this community is useless. | 16:12 |
| david__ | i get to the select a language, than i click install...a get fuzzy lines... | 16:12 |
| unixcruiser | why? | 16:12 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: googling for that error suggests to me there is something wrong with the Debian/Ubuntu packages | 16:12 |
| unixcruiser | poopuser? | 16:12 |
| edbian | maxagaz: Well re-formatting / reinstalling the OS is a re-write. Usually when a file or "data" is deleted from the drive it is simply marked as deleted instead of actually changing the data to 0's. When you re-write you do change the data. To the new data, and no record of the old is kept. Unfortunately there is no way that I know of to recover from a re-write loss of data :(. | 16:12 |
| david__ | the thing is when i pop in ubuntu 8.04 loader has no problems | 16:12 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: relative/absolute path problems | 16:12 |
| david__ | should i install 8.04 and upgrade? | 16:13 |

| david__ | thanks | 16:14 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: yes, I'm on Jaunty. Jaunty has version 2.1.4 and according to Debian's bugtracker, this problem was fixed only in 2.2.2: http://bugs.debian.org/526322 | 16:15 |
| unixcruiser | maybe you need modify /etc/fstab | 16:15 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | Kangarooo: it was then that i checked rythmbox | 16:15 |
| etwt2261 | laeg: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 16:15 |
| unixcruiser | open /etc/fstab with vim | 16:15 |
| unixcruiser | and | 16:15 |
| kevix | shivek: the file /etc/fstab lists the hard drive partitions that you want 'mount'ed when you start your operating system (ubuntu) | 16:15 |
| unixcruiser | modify like this | 16:15 |
| laeg | jrib: if it's in the guide i did? i'm on the server now - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys | 16:15 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: Probably we need a backport of the fix. Strange that apparently not many other people are affected (or they gave up) | 16:15 |
| edbian | shivek: You could make an fstab entry | 16:15 |
| laeg | etwt2261: tried already, no change | 16:15 |
| * Mnky mutters about the auto-join on whatever irc program this is | 16:16 | |
| shivek | how can i make fstab entry? | 16:16 |
| jrib | laeg: you used ssh-copy-id? | 16:16 |
| etwt2261 | laeg: maybe the permissions of the key are too open | 16:16 |
| funkyHat | Laibsch: ah, I'm not using the version from the repositories, I'm using a deb downloaded from the vbox site | 16:16 |
| MrStein | Where should I ask about file sharing ? I shared a file and the (WinXP) client prompts for user/pass and does not accept it... | 16:16 |
| kevix | shivek: so you use a text editor and add 'entries' to enable a new partion to be added when you reboot or restart your system | 16:16 |
| laeg | jrib: nope | 16:16 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: yes, you're lucky ;-) | 16:16 |
| * Dekko wonders if there's a way to make Ubuntu boot in text mode with the Tux Penguin logo on the top left - like Knoppix does? ;-) | 16:16 | |
| unixcruiser | i will give you some example | 16:16 |
| jrib | laeg: it's in the guide... | 16:16 |
| laeg | jrib: because i'm just server side, won't have access to the remote until tomorrow | 16:16 |
| oskar- | shivek: "sudoedit /etc/fstab" but: read documentation before and be very careful | 16:16 |
| marco_ | One thing I really like about ubuntu is that everything runs so fast. And tvtime is fantastic | 16:17 |
| edbian | shivek: Would you like me to walk you through it? I think also unixcruiser is talking to you :) | 16:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Dekko: thats just the 'framebuffer' being enabled. | 16:17 |
| MrStein | Dekko: you need framebuffer for that IIRC | 16:17 |
| kevix | shivek: to see what is currently in the file 'less /etc/fstab' would show you something | 16:17 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | Kangarooo: ive updated the pastebin with my alsa info http://pastebin.com/m56b02eed | 16:17 |

| Dr_Willis | Dekko: different disrtos have different logos for that normally | 16:17 |

| Dekko | Dr_Willis: Can you tell me more on if I can get Ubuntu to do that somehow (don't care if its the tux or if its a Ubuntu logo or whatever, just no usplash but hires with a small logo - looks VERY cool to me - like old school DOS or something but nicer :D ) | 16:18 |
| shivek | edbian:yes | 16:18 |
| Kangarooo | ohletmeinnowjesu: are you trying commands like * find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd * from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting ? in log I coulnd recognize any sounddriver in that log. who can join this problem? | 16:18 |
| kevix | shivek: you need to be root/superuser, so do 'sudo less /etc/fstab' and type your password | 16:18 |
| edbian | shivek: Alrighty. Do you know the /dev name of the harddrive? | 16:18 |
| edbian | shivek: And the partition? | 16:18 |
| jrib | laeg: no. You can run ssh-copy-id on the client computer to copy the public key to the server automagically (using password auth presumably). Or you can just add your pubkey to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server yourself manually | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Dekko: dos never did that... :) theres guides on using the framebuffer in the console out.. I alwyas disable the framebuffer. it just slows down the console.. and can cause other issues.. Unless i do a console-only system | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !framebuffer | Dekko | 16:19 |
| ubottu | Dekko: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub | 16:19 |
| IHK | omg.. what are my possibilities if 2 of my buttons doesn't show up in "xev" nor in acpi_listen? | 16:19 |
| guestadmin | "printer_hostname" how do I find it (installing driver) instructions say "replace 'printer_hostname' with the printer's hostname or IP Address." | 16:19 |
| IHK | anyone? | 16:19 |
| funkyHat | kevix: why do you need root to read fstab? | 16:19 |
| MrStein | msg me if someone knows file sharing and has time .. | 16:19 |
| edbian | shivek: Here is a great guide if you have any questions along the way / in the future :) | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | IHK: depends on the mouse.. check dmesg - see if shows the mouse clicks.. you may need to remap the buttons somehow. | 16:19 |
| skas_ | how do i start an ad-hoc wireless network that people can connect to? | 16:19 |
| edbian | funkyHat: You need root to edit fstab :) | 16:19 |
| kevix | funkyHat: on my system I do not. | 16:20 |
| funkyHat | edbian: I didn't say edit :) | 16:20 |
| IHK | it's two keyboard key's | 16:20 |
| jrib | IHK: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | IHK: google for the exact mouse/linux and see if other disrto sites/wiki pages also discuss it. I have found some very good info on the gentoo wiki pages that helped me getting weird things toing in ubuntu :) | 16:20 |
| * Dekko Thanks Dr_willis | 16:20 | |
| edbian | funkyHat: To answer your question more directly then: You don't need root to view fstab | 16:20 |
| Kangarooo | ohletmeinnowjesu: did you checked also sound properties? witch card and driver is put to work? | 16:20 |
| IHK | ok, i'll try those things | 16:20 |
| laeg | jrib: the public key right now is server side. why do i need to copy something from the client to the server? | 16:21 |
| funkyHat | edbian: I was just questioning kevix's advice, but apparently the person he was helping has some weird permissions :P | 16:21 |
| edbian | funkyHat: Oh, odd. Nevermind then :) | 16:21 |
| aboSamoor | I installed 9.04 and the vfat partitions are mounted under /windows and /data I can not find them under places--> computer ! | 16:21 |
| === Mud is now known as Mud|lunch | ||
| ohletmeinnowjesu | Kangarooo: LOL i just skipped to the last command in the link that you sent me ; the re-load ALSA command...and its working now! | 16:21 |
| kevix | funkyHat: technically using sudo to less a file is not a problem | 16:21 |
| laeg | jrib: can't i just do it all server side and take the key on a memory stick? | 16:21 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | Kangarooo: lolz | 16:21 |
| funkyHat | aboSamoor: they are in "filesystem" | 16:21 |
| jrib | laeg: please call server the computer running sshd that you are connecting to and client for the computer you are using the ssh client to connect to the server. Can you rephrase your question now? | 16:21 |
| laeg | jrib: that's what i've done | 16:22 |
| Zorael^2 | How do I change keyboard language from a cli? | 16:22 |
| laeg | i'm on my ubuntu box at home which is the server | 16:22 |
| jrib | laeg: sure. You can do that. Take your private key on your memory stick | 16:22 |
| Kangarooo | ohletmeinnowjesu: witch command ? reinstalling? | 16:22 |
| * Dekko also wonders - and I know this may be a noob question, but is there A) A way to make XChat automagically connect to this server and channel on startp (without going through Network List, and B) is there a better IRC client than XChat for Ubuntu/Linux? | 16:22 | |
| guestadmin | "lpadmin -p queue_name -v socket://printer_hostname:9100 \" Anyone know How do I find my "printer_hostname" | 16:22 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | Kangarooo: ""And finally: sudo alsa force-reload | 16:22 |
| laeg | jrib: ok so do i need to undo ssh-copy-id laeg@skyrocket | 16:22 |
| laeg | jrib: i entered it into term | 16:22 |
| dejuren | Seveas: ping | 16:23 |
| aboSamoor | funkyHat, I want to get the icons in computer and the desktop , how can I do that ? | 16:23 |
| edbian | Kangarooo: Right click the server in the menu and check "auto-connect" right click this channel and click "auto-join" | 16:23 |
| jrib | laeg: is skyrocket the server? | 16:23 |
| arand | What is the name of the installer program used on the alternate install CD, ubiquity is the live one, but I can figure out the other... | 16:23 |
| mobi-sheep | Dekko: Use Network List and fill in the spot. Nickserv, etc. And XChat is the decent IRC client but I'm learning irssi (terminal client). | 16:23 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | Kangarooo: i think it was the libsmpeg0 package that i reinstalled needed ALSA to be restarted | 16:23 |
| Kangarooo | aha ohletmeinnowjesu I wanted to say to try that also but wasn't sure and its not last command in that link :) | 16:23 |
| jrib | laeg: ssh-copy-id just copies your pubkey to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 16:23 |
| kevix | Dekko: better is a subjective thing. I use 'finch' (a console version of pidgin) to connect to irc. | 16:23 |
| funkyHat | Dekko: in the network list go to edit network and you can tell it to connect automatically, you can also choose channels you want to automatically join as well | 16:24 |
| Kangarooo | edbian: but all is ok.. why you said that? :) | 16:24 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | Kangarooo: oh lol well it was the last that i got too before i was gonna call it a night and go to bed; WELL THANKS ANYWAYS, I APPRECIATE IT , you guys are awesome | 16:24 |
| ohletmeinnowjesu | night guys | 16:24 |
| funkyHat | Dekko: there are other irc clients, I use irssi. x-chat is possibly the best GUI-based (rather than terminal based) irc client | 16:24 |
| laeg | jrib: ok. so why when i ssh to myself from term or in putty under wine doesn't it say anything about the key? it just asks for and accepts my user pass? | 16:24 |
| jrib | laeg: pastebin commands that show what you just said | 16:25 |
| Dekko | FunkyHat: Okay coming from Windows and mIRC with nnScript I don't know much what is available.... :) | 16:25 |
| laeg | jrib: it looks like this | 16:25 |
| guestadmin | instructions:"lpadmin -p queue_name -v socket://printer_hostname:9100 \" Is this asking fo the URI? | 16:25 |
| laeg | login as: laeg | 16:25 |
| jrib | laeg: *pastebin* | 16:26 |
| kevix | Dekko: I like pidgin or finch because it can connect to different chats(facebook, icq, irc, msn,...) | 16:26 |
| laeg | there is nothing to pastebin | 16:26 |
| laeg | it just asks for a username | 16:26 |
| jrib | laeg: include your authorized_keys, etc... | 16:26 |
| jrib | laeg: good luck with your issue | 16:26 |
| coffeej | My usb mic isn't picking up any sound in jaunty. where do i start? | 16:26 |
| laeg | is there anyone here who knows about sshkeys? | 16:26 |
| funkyHat | laeg: putty will always ask for a username | 16:26 |
| drone | Could someone give me a little advice on what to do if I keep downloading the same iso file over and over and never have the md5 checksum match ? | 16:27 |
| funkyHat | laeg: the username isn't included in the key | 16:27 |
| laeg | funkyHat: but the password it takes and accepts is just my user pass which is different than the keys | 16:27 |
| laeg | funkyHat: so it means they key isn't setup correctly, correct? | 16:27 |
| Kangarooo | drone: its different file you are checking for md5sum | 16:27 |
| guestadmin | drone: could try downloading from a different source | 16:27 |
| kevix | coffeej: sometimes the issue is that it assigns the device (mic) to the second device, when you are setup for the first device. | 16:27 |
| laeg | jrib: i appreciate your effort. | 16:27 |
| funkyHat | laeg: did you append your public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys? and did you add your private key to putty properly? | 16:27 |
| coffeej | kevix: how do i find out if that's the case? | 16:28 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: Do you have a file /etc/init.d/vboxdrv? If so, can you please tell me what package is returned from "dpkg -S /etc/init.d/vboxdrv"? | 16:28 |
| laeg | funkyHat: i'm going to pastebin all i've done | 16:28 |
| Dekko | Kevix: Thanks for the suggestion but isn't a real IRC software more feature rich?' | 16:28 |
| knorrman | nick | 16:29 |
| knorrman | nick Dekko_2 | 16:29 |
| funkyHat | Laibsch: virtualbox-2.2 | 16:29 |
| drone | I just starting making a lot of coasters the past couple days trying to get some sort of linux to work on my new ideapad y530 (even ubuntu didn't work well), and I was starting to wonder why and sure enough, every time I download an iso no matter which one, they checksum comes out wrong. | 16:29 |
| knorrman | nick | 16:29 |
| Zorael^2 | Where can I persistently change the keyboard locale from a console? Not just for X, but for console sessions too | 16:29 |
| kevix | Dekko: my suggestion was for features that I like :) you have differnt feature needs. | 16:29 |
| === knorrman is now known as Dekko2 | ||
| guestadmin | Can anyone explain what this mens "lpadmin -p queue_name -v socket://printer_hostname:9100 \" on the commnd line? | 16:29 |
| === ASS is now known as Guest63197 | ||
| edbian | drone: Odd, where are you getting your distros from? Different sources? | 16:29 |
| funkyHat | drone: try using a torrent download rather than a regular one. bittorrent has built in error checking | 16:29 |
| drone | edbian: yes | 16:29 |
| === lucien_ is now known as lucien | ||
| drone | about half of them are torrents | 16:30 |
| kevix | coffeej: you can check the last 200 lines of '/var/log/messages to see if anything registers for your usb sound device' | 16:30 |
| edbian | drone: Torrents from the distro's site? Or torrents from torrent sites? | 16:30 |
| drone | distro site | 16:30 |
| hemanth | need help to convert html to pdf from cli | 16:31 |
| drone | ubuntu is the only image that installs fine, but the main issue with it is that practically nothing works correctly | 16:31 |
| Dekko2 | exit | 16:31 |
| edbian | drone: How many things exactly (and what are they) don't work?? | 16:31 |
| ptheabstract | hey, just wondering if it will be possible to make a crossplatform livecd ... i know that you can make a ppc/intel livecd using the leopard install disks.. | 16:31 |
| Dekko | Question: is it hard to upgrade kernel to the latest build for Ubuntu 9.04? | 16:31 |
| edbian | ptheabstract: You'd have to have a linux kernel compiled for each architecture. | 16:32 |
| Xanthomryr | Zorael^2, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 16:32 |
| kevix | Dekko: I use aptitude and look for the latest 'linux-image' | 16:32 |
| Dekko | edbian: The latest one is I think 2.6.30-1? | 16:32 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: thanks. I can only assume then that /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose is the equivalent | 16:32 |
| oskar- | Dekko: not very... but i would recommend to stay at the distribution kernel | 16:33 |
| Dekko | Right now I am on 2.6.28-13 generic i686 | 16:33 |
| drone | well, first of all, I can set and reset the screen resolution and upon rebooting, it will be back to 1024x768 no matter what. Also, touching the screen brightness keys makes the screen go dark and I can't get it back to the original brightness, only 2 out of 4 speakers work (and they are terribly quiet no matter what the mixer settings), Network manager forgets wireless settings upon reboot | 16:33 |
| oskar- | Dekko: do you need the newest version because of changes, new drivers etc? | 16:33 |
| drone | those are the main issues | 16:33 |
| edbian | Dekko: I don't know I never try and get to newer kernels (lot so f bugs) | 16:33 |
| Dekko | oskar: okay because I've been trying to upgrade ALSA to 1.0.20 but did NOT work due to too old kernel(?) | 16:33 |
| oskar- | bugs?? | 16:33 |
| ptheabstract | but then how can i get the right kernel to load at boot? | 16:33 |
| drone | I've never had a lenovo laptop of any kind have so much trouble with linux before | 16:33 |
| Zorael^2 | Xanthomryr: thanks | 16:33 |
| Albertus | hello. who speak Polish? | 16:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !pl | Albertus | 16:34 |
| ubottu | Albertus: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl | 16:34 |
| Dekko | oskar: Also I am trying all these things to LEARN, because I do feel a desire to move away from Windows - more and more the more I use Ubuntu. | 16:34 |
| edbian | drone: For the monitor problems it's your driver (I wouldn't hold my breath for the darkness brightness settings) but the resolution problem will almost certainly be fixed by switching drivers. What kind of card do you have? | 16:34 |
| Dekko | And now I am using it on a crappy AthlonXP 2400+ with 2 GB RAM, Geforce 6600 graphics and 1x 80 and 1x120 GB harddrive | 16:35 |
| drone | edbian: its an intel integrated x4500hd | 16:35 |
| guestadmin | Anyone know how to find my "printer_hostname"? | 16:35 |
| drone | usually those work perfectly | 16:35 |
| SiggyF | /join #wow | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: you have a networked printer or somthing? | 16:35 |
| guestadmin | DR_Willis: no, just a regular USB laser printer, the instructions to install driver ask me for it | 16:36 |
| edbian | drone: Are you able to use compiz? | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Intel drivers had some quirks with the lastet release of ubuntu and the x drivers/compiz i recall.. i hhad to update my drivers on my netbook | 16:36 |
| kevix | Dekko: there are 2 kinds of software on distos like ubuntu: mananged and unmanaged. if you keep with the managed(deb) then you life is easy. if you install you own things, it can mess with your system, if you install something in the wrong place or with the wrong version | 16:36 |
| drone | edbian: yes | 16:36 |
| guestadmin | Dr_Willis: From readme: lpadmin -p queue_name -v socket://printer_hostname:9100 \ | 16:36 |
| oskar- | guestadmin: man lp_admin | 16:36 |
| guestadmin | oskar, ah ok | 16:37 |
| drone | Dr_Willis: did you just go to the intel site and get the newest ones ? | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: thats for a networked printer, the socket: thing would be different for a local printer | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | drone: no - i used the ubutnu ppa stuff. to upgrade a few things | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: you may want to try the cups web interface to configure the printer | 16:37 |
| drone | I see | 16:37 |
| Jassi | join #ubuntu-de | 16:38 |
| edbian | drone: Check this out! http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_GMA_X4500HD | 16:38 |
| coffeej | kevix: I see a line that reads: "usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio", but that seems to be all referencing mic, usb, or the model | 16:38 |
| guestadmin | It stiDr_Willis: lt asks for a URI which I don't know either | 16:38 |
| david__ | arand you here? | 16:38 |
| Dekko | kevix: Thank you very much for the suggestion. I know that if you go it with Linux without a safety net you can screw up bad. However I REALLY want to learn to do all these things so I feel like I have control over the system. I want to be able to customize it and do what I want with it. Not just use it :) | 16:38 |
| arand | david__: yup. | 16:38 |
| david__ | i am back... | 16:39 |
| guestadmin | DR_Willis: ^ In the interface (tho Im much more comfortable in terminal, I COULD try ;) | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: try the cups web interface. but let me guess..you are on a server install? or are you using the normal ubuntu desktop? | 16:39 |
| david__ | so do you think i should install 8.04 than upgrade? | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: the cup web interface is the best way to configure cups. | 16:39 |
| drone | I was using Fedora 10 and also opensuse 11.1 on it, but both of them had awful annoyances that I knew I just couldn't live with. The package manager in fedora was pathetically slow for some reason, I took me 3 hours to run some updates whereas ubuntu would only take about 15 min | 16:39 |
| guestadmin | Dr_Willis: normal ubuntu desktop | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: there are the gnome cups config tools also.. | 16:39 |
| Laibsch | funkyHat: I have concluded that the jaunty package has many issues. Rather than fixing them, I will recompile the karmic version and use that. 2.2.x seems to be a major leap in stability. | 16:39 |
| kevix | coffeej: that is a good sign that something was recognized. I usually unplug it and then plug it in and then check the last 30 lines to see if anything was added new. | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: my local printer just worked with no messing on my part in ubuntu. HP laserjet 6l :) | 16:39 |
| guestadmin | DR_Willis: ugh, I hate graphical, but will try if necessary | 16:40 |
| guestadmin | DR_Willis: nice ;) | 16:40 |
| coffeej | kevix, will I need to reload 'messages' to see a change? | 16:40 |
| arand | david__: That is probably the simplest way, but the alternate is always an option. | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: oh the huge manatee! having to click on a few buttons to get stuff working... :) | 16:40 |
| bin1010 | I am trying to get zend debugger to work with eclipse on ubuntu 9.04, I think I have to make a virtual directory (which I've done), but since www-data can't read my user directories, I guess I need to add www-data to my group, but I can't find it in the user list within the gnome User and Group interface. Should I change apache to run with my user? weird making the index.html file chmod 777 did not work either, wonder why? | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: or to read up on the cups commands more i guess.. and perhaps figuure out what one scans/shows attatched printers.. | 16:41 |
| david__ | do i start in guided partitioning? | 16:41 |
| david__ | i just entered it... | 16:41 |
| kevix | coffeej: you can use 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to 'actively monitor the file' (use cntl-c to quit) | 16:41 |
| DVA5912 | Ubuntu 9.04 isnt in beta stage is it? Because for some reason It seems to be well Slow. I dont know what it is but every couple of minutes when it feels like it it becomes slow and wont respond fast | 16:41 |
| david__ | should i do it manually or guided-resize? | 16:41 |
| Xanthomryr | guestadmin, my printer work out of the box too via System > Administration > Printing | 16:42 |
| arand | david__: This is in the alternate installer? | 16:42 |
| david__ | yes | 16:42 |
| david__ | 9.04 | 16:42 |
| Xanthomryr | Printer is a Samsung ML 1710 | 16:42 |
| kevix | Dekko: that is a good way to learn (by experimenting) just as long as you dont mind reinstalling a few times (dont use the tests with any live/good data) | 16:42 |
| guestadmin | DR_Willis:OK, Ill check out the other methods | 16:43 |
| david__ | i am trying manual... | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: im suprised you dident get some dialog popped up when you pliugged in the printer.. it is turned ON and plugged in right? | 16:43 |
| DVA5912 | 2GB ram and a 1.73 ghz processor are enough to run ubuntu 9.04 correct? | 16:43 |
| Dekko | kevix: In the past I have been weary of Linux, because it hasn't felt very "good" - more like a hobby project thing, but since 9.04 its kicked _ass_.... :D also probably could be that I have been running and using a hackintosh for a while, which has made the transition over to Linux - easier.... and now its just darn fun. | 16:43 |
| vitovt | <DVA5912> absolutely enough | 16:44 |
| guestadmin | Xanthomryr: would I lose any functionality that way, the "booklet" say to install drivers before connecting the USB, like the windows lexmarks that have a program that runs?' | 16:44 |
| laeg | funkyHat: it works now, i hadn't regular username and pass auth disabled and i was expecting it to ask for the key instead. Authenticating with public key "imported-openssh-key" - if i edit the key and change that from imported-openssh-key will it affect it? | 16:44 |
| funkyHat | Laibsch: sounds sensible :) | 16:44 |
| laeg | funkyHat: just to change the anme | 16:44 |
| laeg | name | 16:44 |
| DVA5912 | vitovt: would a low end ATI cause things to run slow? | 16:44 |
| arand | david__: ok, I'm guessing the guided will do an automatic rezise, I think it would grab 12GB on the end of sda2, if that's fine go ahead with it (afaik the installer will confirm the choices) | 16:44 |
| Zane | http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=214831 | 16:44 |
| kevix | Dekko: hmm. I've use linux since redhat 6.2. Jaunty is over-the-top-kick-ass compared to that :) | 16:45 |
| Zane | I don't know why.... | 16:45 |
| guestadmin | Dr_Willis: was hesitant, because the booklet said to install driver befor connecting USB, maybe thats just Dell "jibberish" | 16:45 |
| funkyHat | laeg: should be fine. I don't really use putty but sounds alright. | 16:45 |
| vitovt | DVA5912: yes. Ati without native drivers works very slow | 16:45 |
| vitovt | especially in video and games. | 16:45 |
| Phrogz | I have 9.04 server installed on a machine I don't know the specs of anymore. Is there a way from ubuntu to find out the specs of the RAM sufficient for me to buy more? Or do I need to go to the box and open it up? | 16:45 |
| kevix | DVA5912: I am using jaunty with 800mhz and 512 MB. | 16:45 |
| laeg | funkyHat: ty | 16:45 |
| DVA5912 | vitovt: Then i guess that would explain the prblem then :\ | 16:45 |
| Xanthomryr | guestadmin, no i think not but i don't need much functionality because my printer is only a b/w laser | 16:45 |
| Xanthomryr | guestadmin, just give it a try :-) | 16:46 |
| * DVA5912 goes to install ati drivers | 16:46 | |
| guestadmin | Xanthomryr:same, b/w laser I guess I coud just go for it, and plug it in, see what happens | 16:46 |
| ggg | is it possible to install firefox 3.5 ? | 16:46 |
| vitovt | <DVA5912> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide | 16:46 |
| Xanthomryr | yeah ist is | 16:46 |
| Xanthomryr | ah firefox 3.5 I mean | 16:47 |
| Dekko | Kevix: I've tried Mandriva and various Ubuntu versions, but never liked it (because I couldn't see or understand how it worked very well and also it felt frustrating being a noob again, having quite extensive knowledge of Micro$oft stuff.... but now since making the transition from hackintosh to Linux.... it just feels like I am gaining more and more knowledge :) And its fun ..... LOTS of fun. And now I am using it on an old machine. | 16:47 |
| scunizi | Xanthomryr: guestadmin what kind of B&W laser printer? | 16:47 |
| funkyHat | !ff35 | ggg | 16:47 |
| ubottu | ggg: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 16:47 |
| kevix | ggg: I am using 3.5 on jaunty (it is part of the options if you search for it in aptitude) | 16:47 |
| guestadmin | scunizi: Dell 2330d | 16:47 |
| Xanthomryr | scunizi, Samsung ML-1710 | 16:47 |
| laeg | funkyHat: i had successfully ssh from my ubuntu server to my ubuntu server and it asked for the ssh key pass phrase and i connected which is great - now when i do it i'm not asked for the pass - have i been added to some trusted list? | 16:47 |
| oskar- | Dekko: maybe this helps http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/ (?) | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: you are reading/thinking in windows terms again | 16:48 |
| funkyHat | laeg: no, the ssh key agent remembers that you've unlocked the key, so you don't have to unlock it every time (this is client side) | 16:48 |
| kevix | Dekko: well Mac OS X is built on bsd with is close to linux. so that is a good start. | 16:48 |
| oskar- | Dekko: i don't know what it is meant for, i only found it recently | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: lets just say.. i attatched a canon ip1600 just now.. and it dident even pop up a dialog.. it was allready configured and ready to print to. | 16:48 |
| coffeej | kevix: it detects it. output is: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/215561/ | 16:49 |
| Xanthomryr | yeah, I was very surprised how flawless my printer was installed | 16:49 |
| DVA5912 | omg i never realized how much my little gphx card sucks | 16:49 |
| Dekko | oskar: Thank you for the link :) I want to use only stable kernels no beta or alpha or pre-release.... :) | 16:49 |
| scunizi | Xanthomryr: you won't have any issues.. cups might have the driver already.. on my 2010 I use samsun's linux driver.... guestadmin yours is more tough..if they don't directly support it check the lexmark site and see if you can see a model that is the same.. dell obviously rebrands somebodies. if you can discover what it is that's 1/2 the battle | 16:49 |
| kevix | coffeej: cool. will check. | 16:49 |
| guestadmin | DR_Willis: darn you are correct, old habits, went for it, plugged it in, immediately worked, now THERES 6 hours of wasted time I wont get back reading th manuals | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: i find this whole windows idea of 'install out stuff BEFOR you even attacth the thing.. illoggical' | 16:49 |
| DVA5912 | Mobile Intel® 915PM Express Chipset w/ ATI | 16:49 |

| DVA5912 | Video type: 128-bit hardware accelerated | 16:49 |
| Kangarooo | what command put output of command to clipbord? | 16:49 |
| DVA5912 | sucks right? | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: amazing eh. :) and people say windows is user friendly! | 16:49 |
| oskar- | Dekko: 2.6.30.1 is stable ;-) depends on who you ask ;) | 16:49 |
| ggg | doing firefox --version "Mozilla Firefox 3.0.11, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org" why ? i also did this sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 it installed shiretoko . | 16:50 |
| laeg | funkyHat: cool. but with putty i do need too, is that okay? i mean would it indicate a problem | 16:50 |
| laeg | it wants the ssh passphrase on each connect | 16:50 |
| laeg | ssh key | 16:50 |
| ggg | ubottu, doing firefox --version "Mozilla Firefox 3.0.11, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org" why ? i also did this sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 it installed shiretoko . | 16:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:50 |
| Dekko | Kevix: Yes I know its BSD-style so to speak, but it just feels so good to use Linux, lots more work to get it to do things (like mounting internal harddrives getting permission to write to them etc.) but when you succeed it feels good. Also do you know if you can play games on Linux (with a DuoCore 2.4 Ghz, Geforce 9600GT graphics card)? | 16:50 |
| * Dekko is thinking of kicking Windows XP. | 16:50 | |
| andre_pl | Where are the file-extension associations for bash's tab-completion stored? can I edit them? | 16:50 |
| funkyHat | laeg: no that's fine. just means that putty doesn't remember passphrases or keep your key unlocked for you | 16:51 |
| guestadmin | Xanthomryr: Amazing after 6 hoyrs of reading, I just plugged it in, and voila, detected and test page :) | 16:51 |
| coffeej | kevix: it works "out of the box" if I plug it into my ubuntu laptop... | 16:51 |
| Xanthomryr | scunizi, I have no problem with my printer :-) | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: honestly however... what were you expecting the command line tools to do - without the printer even being plugged in? :) | 16:51 |
| arand | david__: otherwise, in advanced/manual partitioning choose edit sda2 (that's the main big one with w7 yes?) and then enter the new size for the win7 partion, leaving enough for the ubuntu partition (more than 7GB is what I'd go for) Then set up the ubu partitions in that space ( / swap (/home if you want))... | 16:51 |
| guestadmin | scunizi: worked, just plugged it in :) | 16:51 |
| Xanthomryr | guestadmin, haha | 16:51 |
| ggg | ubottu, shiretoko and firefox are different. is it possible to have firefox version 3.5 in the older firefox ? | 16:51 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: windows does it that way because their isntaller - installs the drivers for the thing to find WHEN it gets plugged in | 16:51 |
| scunizi | Xanthomryr: you got lucky! but I'm glad it works.. | 16:51 |
| kevix | Dekko: there is a commercial version of WINE that supports many windows games | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Cups printing in ubuntu = A++ :) | 16:52 |
| scunizi | guestadmin: they're getting better and better at detection.. | 16:52 |
| skas_ | eth1 is showing up at inet6, how do i change this to inet4 | 16:52 |
| ggg | kevix, doing firefox --version "Mozilla Firefox 3.0.11, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org" why ? i also did this sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 it installed shiretoko . | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | This canon printer is such a pain to get going in windows.. | 16:52 |
| ggg | kevix, shiretoko and firefox are different. is it possible to have firefox version 3.5 in the older firefox ? | 16:52 |
| kevix | ggg: I just use 'firefox-3.5' to start it on the command line | 16:52 |
| scunizi | Dr_Willis: I get the impression that you and I don't seem to sleep much | 16:52 |
| rocky | ohai youseenothing | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !ff35 | ggg | 16:52 |
| ubottu | ggg: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 16:52 |
| guestadmin | Dr_Willis: Dell should be ashamed, using windows tactics on a specific "Ubuntu Driver CD", they need some counseling on linux | 16:53 |
| LeoPinguim | guys, how can I see my Video Card Driver? | 16:53 |
| laeg | funkyHat: ty. changing the name of the putty key seemed to break it | 16:53 |
| rocky | ohbai | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | guestadmin: write them a silly letter.. makes ya wonder whats on their 'driver' cd anyway... | 16:53 |
| kevix | ggg: shiretoko is the 'code name' for firefox 3.5 | 16:53 |
| ggg | kevix, can you please check the version of firefox ? firefox --version | 16:53 |
| david__ | yo...i got 9.04 to load with out the alternative... | 16:53 |
| david__ | yeah.... | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | I have FF 3.5 (shrinto) and 3.0.11 both installed... | 16:53 |
| david__ | i jusdt did fd=false...and it worked | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | the default firfox binary runs 3.0.11 | 16:54 |
| rogst | Hi I got a Intel GM45 graphicscard in my laptop and when I connect an external monitor with my docking station I cant choose any higher resolution then 1280x1024 but the minitor supports 1600x1200, I use ubuntu 9.04, anyone got any ideas why ? | 16:54 |
| guestadmin | Dr_Willis: Thanks, guess I can now print something quick and just enjoy my day | 16:54 |
| ggg | kevix, so the older firefox is not update to firefox 3.5 ? | 16:54 |
| kevix | ggg: on jaunty, 'firefox' is 3.0 but 'firefox-3.5' is Mozilla Firefox-3.5 3.5, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org | 16:54 |
| arand | david__: nice, so then you'll get through the live installer then? | 16:54 |
| kevdog | wazzz up | 16:54 |
| minimec | ggg: shiretoko and firefox install in parallel. You could apt-get remove firefox, and then set a link called firefox in /usr/bin that links to /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox.sh | 16:54 |
| guestadmin | Dr_Willis: I wonder too now | 16:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ggg: 3.5 does not replace the default 3.0.11 | 16:54 |
| tonii | rogst: does the GM45 support 1600x1200 resolution? | 16:54 |
| david__ | yeap... | 16:54 |
| Dekko | how can I install Firefox 3.5 INSTEAD of 3.0.11? and not as Shiretoko?? :D | 16:54 |
| david__ | and it so much easier that way | 16:54 |
| Dr_Willis | firefox 3.5 is still a work in progress it seems in some ways | 16:55 |
| LeoPinguim | guys, how can I see my Video Card Driver? | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Dekko: rename the icon.. there ya go.. you most likely domnt want to remove 3.0.11 | 16:55 |
| iamslango | after waking up from hibernating... bluetooth is sort of... a PITA | 16:55 |
| david__ | i just select the amount of space for the new partition... | 16:55 |
| iamslango | does anyone have any thoughts on that? | 16:55 |
| rogst | tonii: Hmm i dont know I think it should since it kinda new.. on my laptop screen I use 1440x900 | 16:55 |
| arand | Dekko: Don't think you can do it properly without some hacking... | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont see why everyone is going all berzerk and rabbid to get 3.5 this INSTANT | 16:55 |
| ggg | kevix, how can i remove the older firefox 3.0.11 ? | 16:55 |
| minimec | Dekko: Same thing. shiretoko and firefox install in parallel. You could apt-get remove firefox, and then set a link called firefox in /usr/bin that links to /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox.sh | 16:55 |
| kevdog | LeoPinguim: lshw | 16:55 |
| Dekko | minimec: Why is it called Shiretoko? ;-) | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ggg: i advice to NOT remove the old firefox | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Dekko: that was covered a few moments ago.. thats the codename for it. | 16:56 |
| minimec | Dekko: Internal developper codename for firefox 3.5 | 16:56 |
| kevix | ggg: i dont know the best way. there are 2 setting that I need to check. | 16:56 |
| ggg | Dr_Willis, why ? | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ggg: 3.5 still has issues. | 16:56 |
| kevdog | How hard is it to compile 3.5 from source? | 16:56 |
| kevdog | or is this not advised? | 16:56 |
| DVA5912 | in 9.04 how do i change what workgroup im on? I cant see my other windows client | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | kevdog: go for it.. :) if you want.. good luck. | 16:57 |
| arand | Dr_Willis: I can see the point though, apart from extension confilcts it's waay neat. The little I tried it... | 16:57 |
| CyberNeT | hey is this the ubuntu help channel? | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | DVA5912: thats defined in the /etc/samba/smb.conf near the top - i recall | 16:57 |
| benste | where can I find my touchscreen attached through serial if there is no /dev/ttyS0 ? | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | arand: theres also supposed to be some 64bit issues with 3.5 i hear. | 16:57 |
| kevdog | Dr_Willis: I tried a long time ago and I couldn't do it. It was difficult b/c there were no instructions. I would if I could find all the libs and such | 16:57 |
| Dekko | Kevix: Commercial WINE? which one are you referring to? Cedega? | 16:57 |
| benste | !samba | benste | 16:58 |
| ubottu | benste, please see my private message | 16:58 |
| alejandro | k | 16:58 |
| kevdog | !samba | 16:58 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 16:58 |
| ggg | kevix, but in fedora 11 i think there is nothing like shiretoko ,there it is firefox 3.5 version with the older icon . why is it shiretoko in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | kevdog: now ya know why the package manager system is so handy. | 16:58 |
| tonii | rogst: hm. Maybe the vga-out on your laptop or dockingstation don't support higher resolution then 1280x1024. | 16:58 |
| dAnon | how do I install gnome themes | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ggg: because the devs decided to keep the shrinto name to make it easier to tell the 2 apart | 16:58 |
| DVA5912 | Dr_Willis: ok its changed. Do i have to restart now? | 16:58 |
| kevdog | Dr_Willis: I like compiling from source, but even the mozilla developer pages were somewhat sketchy | 16:59 |
| JoeM | dr_willis no go on disabling xinerama... just won't work without it | 16:59 |
| kevix | Dekko: yeah. I think its calld Cedega | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dAnon: open the appearance config tool.. and drag/drop the theme downloads to it. for the most part. | 16:59 |
| minimec | kevdog: on the download page of mozilla 'getmozilla', they provide some static builds, that you don't even need to install. You can launch it within your /home directory. I see no reason to build a version, unless you wanna be a gentoo kid ;) | 16:59 |
| kevdog | or an arch kid? | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | DVA5912: restart the samba service.. sudo samba restart (should do it) | 16:59 |
| CyberNeT | basically im booting the latest ubuntu 9.04 image and i get the error: Error reading boot cd. Anyone help with that one? | 16:59 |
| kevix | ggg: it is just a decison by the ubuntu firefox folks. its about 'stable support' and released version of ubuntu | 16:59 |
| DVA5912 | Dr_Willis: clint@clint-laptop:~$ sudo samba restart | 17:00 |
| DVA5912 | sudo: samba: command not found | 17:00 |
| ggg | Dr_Willis,in windows there is nothing like shiretoko as well , it is firefox 3.5 with the older icon . am i correct ? | 17:00 |
| moymoy | i thought arch was a binary distro? | 17:00 |
| LeoPinguim | kevdog: thx man, but how can I see the driver controller installed? | 17:00 |
| minimec | kevdog: ... or an arch kid. | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | DVA5912: sudo service samba restart | 17:00 |
| kevdog | CyberNeT: did you verify the md5 prior to burning the disc? | 17:00 |
| DVA5912 | clint@clint-laptop:~$ sudo samba restart | 17:00 |
| DVA5912 | sudo: samba: command not found | 17:00 |
| CyberNeT | no but ive downloaded it twice | 17:00 |
| DVA5912 | oops hold on | 17:00 |
| kevix | ggg: the next version (karmic) will install firefox 3.5 as 'firefox' | 17:00 |
| kevdog | LeoPingium: what vid card do you have | 17:00 |
| DVA5912 | clint@clint-laptop:~$ sudo service samba restart | 17:00 |

| Dr_Willis | you dont have the full samba installed then.. so thers no samba service. :) | 17:01 |
| iamslango | ubuntu is cool also... for different reasons | 17:01 |
| laeg | if it's a good idea to change your ssh server from port 22 for security reasons, what's a good port? | 17:01 |
| ggg | Dr_Willis, kevix will the shiretoko and firefox 3.0.11 be merged later ? is there any possibility to be merged in future ? | 17:01 |
| DVA5912 | Dr_Willis: same thing | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | laeg: i doubt if it makes it that much secure | 17:01 |
| kevdog | laeg: anyport you want -- but skip many common ports to cut down on traffic | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | DVA5912: you dont have samba service installed... see if the change has happened perhaps? | 17:01 |
| iamslango | laeg, if there was one tried and true port to switch to, it would defeat the purpose | 17:01 |
| kevdog | LeoPinguim: lshw -C video doesn't work? | 17:02 |
| nsahoo | hi | 17:02 |
| puchacz | hello, where can I manage apache, postgres and other services in 9.04? there used to be a traffic light icon in system settings before. | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | laeg: thats sort of like locking the Screen door.. and then the Front door to the house. :) | 17:02 |
| Trijntje | When I run firestarter it knows the total SENT and RECEIVED network traffic for each interface since boot. I want that information in a text only environment. Where can I get that? | 17:02 |
| kevix | ggg: shiretoko is firefox version 3.5. the current 'firefox' on jaunty is version 3.0. | 17:02 |
| iamslango | laeg, Dr_Willis is probably right though | 17:02 |
| rogst | tonii: I guess I should have tried the vga-out in windows before I installed Ubuntu :D to bad windows dont have any liveCD so I can try it out if the gfx card support higher resolutions | 17:02 |

| nikos | what can i do? | 17:03 |
| nsahoo | hi, can i transfer my user customization from office computer to home laptop running ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| JoeM | could someone remind me what the work around in 8.10 was for the startup sessions not working? I have just a couple things I'd like to have start up when I login (position doesn't matter) | 17:03 |
| oskar- | nikos: photorec (part of package testdisk) | 17:03 |
| kevix | nikos: how did it happen? | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: copy all the settings from your home dir to a flash drive.. take it home.. copy them to your users home. :) | 17:03 |
| nikos | first i've had some crashes | 17:03 |
| kevdog | since when was it sudo service <name> start? | 17:03 |
| ggg | kevix, yes i mean as the shiretoko and the older firefox 3.0 have different icons ,blue and red , is there any possiblity to be eliminated one in future ? | 17:03 |
| nikos | and some kernel panics | 17:03 |
| tonii | rogst: heh. the gfx most likely support higher resolution. try connecting the monitor directly to the vga-out on the laptop and see if it changes anything. :) | 17:03 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: you mean the entire .* directory in the home directory? | 17:04 |
| kevix | nikos: as oskar- says, photorec will try to find lost image files on a erased partition. | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | kevdog: the service commabnd has been in existance for a long time.. :) | 17:04 |
| kevdog | I always thought it was sudo /etc/init.d samba restart? | 17:04 |
| rgnr | hey | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: well most of them.. depends on the programs/settings | 17:04 |

| rgnr | i cannot create darabase in myphpadmin | 17:04 |

| Dr_Willis | kevdog: service command has been here.. people just never notice it. :P | 17:04 |

| puchacz | basically, how do I edit runlevels in GUI in 9.04? there used to be traffic lights icon for it, but it is gone. | 17:05 |
| nikos | or with the root console (it only boots untill there)\ | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: if you mean your .gnome theme settings.. those are in .gnome* i recall | 17:05 |
| laeg | Dr_Willis, kevdog, iamslango: ok ty. i have an ssh key setup anyway and i'm about to disable regular username and pass login | 17:05 |

| unixcruiser | it's so hard to help someone? | 17:05 |
| kevdog | laeg: Use both for testing in case something goes wrong? | 17:06 |

| rogst | tonii: when I search on dr. google I read something about the Intel driver for linux not yet supporting my intel 4500mhd card fully yet :( | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ggg: i hear it will be a Hot Pink and lilac icon with the icon name "IE" | 17:07 |
| mikey_likesit | can anybody help with with a noob networking question? | 17:07 |
| coffeej | kevix: anything abnormal? | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | kevdog: i dont have windows to test it with :) | 17:07 |
| kevdog | Dr.Willis: You're missing out :p | 17:08 |
| benste | mikey_likesit: depends on what it is about :-) | 17:08 |
| tonii | rogst: ahh, that could be it. to bad though :| | 17:08 |
| oskar- | mikey_likesit: just ask it... | 17:08 |
| erikk71 | Im surprised ubuntu can be installed onto a pc then take hard drive put it into different machine an it works fine | 17:08 |
| kevix | ggg: shiretoko is not some strange program, it is simply a way to refer to a REAL beta version of firefox. in karmic, they will use the official version of 3.5 and it will be ´firefox' | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | erikk71: its worked fine like that for ages. :) | 17:08 |
| mikey_likesit | benste: I don't know the names of my networked harddrives... do you know how I can search? | 17:08 |
| laeg | kevdog: i've already tested, i'm able to ssh to myself in term with the key, and i've open putty in WINE and can do the same. afaik all i need do is bring id_rsa.ppk with me to work tomorrow | 17:08 |
| mikey_likesit | i've tried using smb4k but no luck... | 17:09 |
| Evert | kevix: Should i install Flash by just visiting get.adobe.com/flashplayer and install the .deb package? I did that and it doesn't work.. | 17:09 |
| scunizi | erikk71: did you miss the "Please call Ubuntu to register" messsage? :) | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | mikey_likesit: they are on a windows machine being shared? | 17:09 |
| Jeruvy | Dr_Willis: two of the 'hot' features of 3.5 is html5 support and 'private browsing mode'. | 17:09 |
| kevdog | One thing I don't like about 3.5 is that you miss the circle spinning in the upper right corner to tell you if the browser is "thinking" | 17:09 |
| benste | mikey_likesit: first of all it would be nice if you'd describe your problem :-) | 17:09 |
| tonii | rogst: anywho... hope you can find a solution for it. I got to go :) | 17:09 |
| erikk71 | ya | 17:09 |
| rogst | tonii: Ok, thanks for the help | 17:09 |
| kevix | Evert: you have to restart your browser after you install flash | 17:09 |
| mikey_likesit | ok, have 2 NTFS disks connected to a router (one is a landisk, the other is chained thru it), so no windows connection | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | mikey_likesit: you could try the 'findsmb' command from the terminal. if you have it installed... | 17:09 |
| nikos | where can i find photorec and is there a way to use it with a live ubuntu cd? | 17:09 |
| kevix | coffeej: does 'asoundconf list' show anything interesting? | 17:10 |
| kevdog | laeg: Ok bring the key -- make sure you can do it from work -- then go home and deactivate the password -- something always messes up in my opinion | 17:10 |
| erikk71 | why should i register | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | mikey_likesit: chained throguh it? these are usb external hard drives hooked to a router? | 17:10 |
| mikey_likesit | Dr_willis, ok, will try that. I've tried smb4k but it didn't do me any good. | 17:10 |
| laeg | kevdog :) | 17:10 |
| mikey_likesit | 1 usb external drive connected to a landisk | 17:10 |
| mikey_likesit | the landisk is connected to the router | 17:10 |
| scunizi | erikk71: there isn't a registration process like windows.. you can register on freenode (here) so you can pm when needed.. | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | mikey_likesit: some of those router-fileserver thigns.. are.. flakey. so you are saying teh hard drive itself has a 'network connection/server' built in? | 17:11 |
| kevdog | laeg: I prefer cygwin to the putty version of ssh -- unless you are running a strictly portable app on the client machine! | 17:11 |
| coffeej | kevix: Riptide and default both show up | 17:11 |
| kevix | nikos: you probably can install 'photorec' from the live cd session. but you need to have another partition to SAVE the recovered files. | 17:11 |
| mikey_likesit | that's right, worked just fine with windows... | 17:11 |
| \\`oot | Hey, Dr_Willis .... is there a work-around for the "giving up waiting on root" error message? If I "exit" out of the ram shell it puts me in, Ubuntu boots up just fine! | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | mikey_likesit: are they 'shares' in windoiws" did you have to install exttra software? My NDAS disk - is a pain to get going. i just use it as a usb disk now. | 17:12 |
| scunizi | Dr_Willis: sounds like mikey_likesit has a nas | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | \\`oot: no idea. check the forums perhaps. | 17:12 |
| benste | how can I get input from Serial devices? | 17:12 |
| kevdog | æ/☼ | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | scunizi: yep. my NDAS using ntfs - i never got linux to see right.. ext3 worked | 17:12 |
| mikey_likesit | Dr_willis: I just tried findsmb but came up empty. just got ip address, netbios name, workgroup headers | 17:12 |
| mikey_likesit | no data in the columns though | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | mikey_likesit: sounds like its not being shared va samba then | 17:13 |
| laeg | kevdog: it's mainly just for tunneling http and im traffic, but i only got that started yesterday so who knows what more i can do with it | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | network disks dont have to use samba. my Ndas uses its own driver/modules | 17:13 |
| \\`oot | Dr_Willis: Thanks... this makes no sense... it's a SINGLE disk... if it finds boot sector WHY would it fail to find root on first try!? | 17:13 |
| laeg | kevdog: i won't need to connect to my ubuntu box by username and pass first to preapprove the work pc right? i mean if i have the id_rsa.ppk loaded in putty it should just connect, right? | 17:13 |
| kevdog | laeg: Tunneling is a great exercise. http traffic is good. https doesnt need tunneling. T | 17:14 |
| DVA5912 | Anyway that i can add more locations to the weather thing. The closest one it has (richmod va) is 50 miles away. And there is no way it will give accurate results | 17:14 |
| scunizi | DVA5912: you in williamburg? | 17:14 |
| kevdog | laeg: That's right however you will need your username -- your key can be thought of as your password! | 17:14 |
| laeg | kevdog: kevdog only really exeprience i have with https is my bank's website and using a webmin tunnel which i've now uninstalled | 17:14 |
| mikey_likesit | Dr_Willis: i tried pinging the whole 192.168 IP range, but no luck there either.... | 17:14 |
| DVA5912 | scunizi: Fredericks | 17:14 |
| laeg | kevdog: yup have my username, have my key, and have the passphrase i set upon it | 17:15 |
| scunizi | DVA5912:ah | 17:15 |
| kevdog | laeg: You've done the putty key to openssh key conversion? | 17:15 |
| laeg | yup | 17:15 |

| laeg | it works | 17:15 |
| os11 | hi how to convert pdf file to jpg? | 17:15 |
| kevdog | laeg: You should be good. The only problem is if your work or wherever doesnt allow out going connections to port 22 or whatever port you are running your openssh server on! | 17:16 |
| oskar- | os11: gimp can do it easily, but also "convert" from imagemagick | 17:16 |

| kevdog | os11: I prefer imagemagick however its command line based -- but much quicker | 17:16 |
| kevix | benste: there is a program called 'minicom' in linux. google about using it. | 17:16 |
| DVA5912 | scunizi: Do you know how to add them? | 17:16 |
| scunizi | DVA5912: which weather appelate is it? the one on the clock? | 17:17 |
| kevdog | laeg: You should be good to go -- however a few things -- run ssh on a different port like 222 if possible. You may want to make use of iptables rate-limit command to cut down on the number of false log in attempts, and if you want to get real fancy -- use a port knocker! | 17:17 |
| DVA5912 | scunizi: yes. | 17:17 |
| ggg | is it possible to have the option "show from the las tabs" in Epiphany Web browser ? | 17:18 |
| kevdog | laeg: others prefer the use of denyhosts or actual modifications of the sshd_conf script itself to specify exact users who can log it. If you are not explicily listed then you can't log in | 17:19 |
| nikos | why can't i use fsck for my corrupted ext4 /home partition? | 17:19 |
| scunizi | DVA5912: instead right mouse click the top bar in an open area and choose "add to panel" .. you'll get a list.. pic the weather one.. it should have more cities associated with it. Also if setup right will display the latest weather map of your area. | 17:19 |

| JediMaster | I've got an ubuntu server that acts as a router, with internal network on eth0, and 2 adsl routers on different networks on eth1 and eth2. eth2 is the default route, with a -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE rule for the interal network to NAT via eth2. How do I get one IP (192.168.0.11) to be routed/NATed through eth1 instead? | 17:20 |

| kevdog | JediMaster: your knowledge of iptables forwarding capabilities are far greater than mine Sorry I cant help :( | 17:21 |
| kevdog | laeg: Yes, or by group | 17:22 |
| JediMaster | kevdog: heh, thanks anyhow | 17:22 |
| scunizi | DVA5912: I see Fredericksburg in VA .. but that's not Fredericks unless you ment the former | 17:22 |
| kevdog | laeg: Port knocking is great -- but some consider it heresy -- fwknop is the port knocking utility you want to try however -- its the most advanced and currently is in very active development | 17:23 |
| JediMaster | I tried -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.11/32 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE before the other iptables masquerade line, but I presume that because it's post routing, that the default route still forces it down eth2? | 17:23 |

| kuppy | hey i had a problem with an xp boot cd after installing linux and wiping it could it be that ubuntu did something to the drive to make it unrecognizable to xp | 17:29 |
| thekiddd | I have recently installed Kiwi Linux (part of Ubuntu). It asked me for a username and password when I've installed, i've entered 'roster' and my password | 17:29 |
| kevdog | ggg: You need to install the program | 17:29 |
| unixcruiser | ggg// 'sudo apt-get install p7zip' | 17:29 |
| thekiddd | What is the root password??! | 17:29 |
| coleys | wnstn: Always had the problem, or... Just recently started getting it? | 17:29 |
| kevix | thekiddd: emotional, financial, ..... please be more specific ;) | 17:29 |
| thekiddd | It never asked me for the root password | 17:29 |
| moymoy | Dr_Willis: in all the players, though i mostly use mplayer, it isn't choppy after killing compiz.real though | 17:29 |
| coleys | !root | 17:29 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:29 |
| scunizi | thekiddd: there isn't one | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | kuppy: windows will ignore linxu parittions.. you may need to delete the linux partitions some how and leave that part of the drive unallocated. | 17:29 |
| thekiddd | then how do I root? | 17:29 |
| unixcruiser | thekiddd// you don't need to use root password | 17:30 |

| bazhang | thekiddd, kiwi linux? ubuntu-based? | 17:30 |
| coleys | thekiddd: (Although you can change the root password, with sudo passwd root) But use sudo =) | 17:30 |
| scunizi | thekiddd: use sudo before a command that needs root | 17:30 |

| kuppy | can i format it to nfts or ntfs | 17:30 |
| === kb is now known as Guest47095 | ||
| unixcruiser | use sudo before type your command | 17:30 |
| unixcruiser | like this | 17:30 |

| Dr_Willis | moymoy: i have no issues on my nvidia 8800 and compiz+videos. | 17:30 |
| unixcruiser | 'sudo yourcommand' | 17:30 |
| ggg | unixcruiser, kevdog in archiver manager i got the option to compress with .7z but why can't i get nothing with man p7zip ? | 17:30 |
| minimec | thekiddd: you can do sudo -i That grants you sudo rights for the whole terminal window you are in. | 17:30 |
| moymoy | Dr_Willis: hmm =\ darn.. compiz, can't live with it, can't live WITHOUT it.. =[ | 17:30 |
| unixcruiser | ggg 'p7zip --help' | 17:31 |

| mc_ | Ok I just install wubi on a laptop for a friend, I'm a full time linux user on all my boxes, but I don't see how to pass files from Ubuntu into windows or visaversa? | 17:37 |
| nsadmin | he forgot it too! | 17:37 |
| atharh | nsadmin: So I can ping 192.168.1.101 from 192.168.1.100, but not the other way around. Similarly, I can ping 192.168.1.101 from any other machine | 17:37 |
| ggg | Dr_Willis, is it possible to have the option "open from the last tab" in Epiphany Web browser ? | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | mc_: wubi makes it a pain to get files to/from the windows drive that wubi is installed on. | 17:37 |
| scunizi | mc_: I think on wubi, ubuntu is totally isolated.. as an alternative use virtualbox on the win machine and install ubuntu there. | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ggg: i never use that brower.. so no idea. | 17:38 |
| oskar- | atharh: then a filter rule eats the packets | 17:38 |

| Zencyde | mc_: Wubi made a number of mistakes when I last used it for my friend. He's ended up making the switch and we went ahead and installed from disc. No problems after that. | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mc_: thats one way. - I would much perfer the cd include virtualbox instead of wubi. | 17:40 |
| Zencyde | ggg: I got notifications whenever my name pops up in IRC. Is that not the same for you? | 17:40 |
| mc_ | Zedde, So far it's working fine except for the isolation issue. | 17:40 |
| S-P | hello | 17:40 |
| moymoy | scunizi: my problem wasn't that compiz wasn't working.. it just wasn't working well with video... choppy video playback (only with compiz enabled) =[ | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | mc_: untill it breaks.. :) then no one kows how to fix wubi breakage.. :) and that 'issue' is a safty feature.. i belive. | 17:40 |
| ggg | Zencyde, are you using pidgin or xchat ? | 17:41 |
| mc_ | Yea me too but this friend is rather ignorant to computor issues. | 17:41 |
| Zencyde | ggg: I am most certainly using Pidgin. | 17:41 |
| kevdog | ggg: dont use pidgin for irc -- well you can -- but its painful. At the least use chatzilla | 17:41 |
| scunizi | moymoy: ah.. and what driver is installed ?? 180.xx or 185.xx | 17:41 |
| mc_ | Thanks anyway just thought I'd ask | 17:41 |
| scunizi | moymoy: or perhaps the 177? | 17:41 |
| moymoy | scunizi: 185.18.14 or something | 17:41 |
| ggg | Zencyde, how do you get notifications in pidgin ? | 17:41 |
| moymoy | scunizi: downloaded from nvidia's website | 17:42 |
| Zencyde | mc_: Then it might be better to wait until Wubi is perfected, no? I had to work past the problems for my friend. Seems smarter to run your friend through a proper installation and to get GRUB and NTLDR to play nice. | 17:42 |
| kevdog | ggg: Purple plugin pack! | 17:42 |
| S-P | bob marley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 17:42 |
| Zencyde | ggg: I'm not sure. Let me see if I can find a plugin. | 17:42 |
| kevdog | ggg: There is also a notification plugin from the purple plugin pack website! | 17:42 |
| hittt | I think i have a problem with ath5k | 17:43 |
| Zencyde | ggg: libnottify popups. | 17:43 |
| ggg | kevdog, what is purple plugin pack ? how can i enable it in pidgin ? | 17:43 |
| Zencyde | ggg: libnotify* | 17:43 |
| scunizi | moymoy: ah.. ok.. I occationally have issues with that driver as well. your 6 series card would have worked fine on the 177 driver and if available 174.. You'll have to watch nvidia's page for the next version (they come quickly) and install that. | 17:43 |
| mc_ | Zencyde, I'm working on him, I have removed all his propority software including IE and install gimp, inkscape, firefox, and Open office on all his windows machines | 17:43 |
| Zencyde | mc_: Just show him what repositories and package managers are and how to use them. That is easily the biggest plus to FOSS. | 17:44 |
| os11 | scunizi, thx :) | 17:44 |
| Pernicious | hey guys, can you please tell me how to install tcl? | 17:44 |
| failers | anyone using karmic and do you recommed using it? or is it too bugged | 17:44 |
| moymoy | scunizi: bleh.. i installed this one because the previous ones were having problems with gnome-do(cky)! .. darn nvidia! but at least they code UNIX/Linux drivers.. good for them =] | 17:44 |
| nsadmin | apt-get install tcl? | 17:44 |
| kevdog | ggg: Let me find the web site -- hold old | 17:44 |
| mc_ | Does anybody know if Ubuntu supports Sprint air cards, I know they support verizon. | 17:45 |
| scunizi | os11: np :) | 17:45 |
| Zencyde | moymoy: I'm impressed by nVidia's binary drivers. Wish they'd open their specs but AMD doesn't seem to be doing that, either. | 17:45 |
| ggg | Zencyde, do you get notification when someone reply to your question or do you get notification when someone send message in the irc ? | 17:45 |
| Dr_Willis | he program 'tcl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 17:45 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install tclx8.3 | 17:45 |
| Pepsi | Hey :) | 17:45 |
| Pernicious | but the latest version is 8.5.7 | 17:45 |
| Zencyde | ggg: I'd imagine it would work with messages. It notifies me whenever my name pops up in IRC. Which is why I hate myself when I forget to add the nick. :P | 17:45 |
| kevdog | ggg: http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wiki/PluginPack | 17:46 |
| YBH___3 | pdfgdl; | 17:46 |
| nsadmin | you want the latest? | 17:46 |
| hittt | I think i have a problem with ath5k | 17:46 |
| Dreki | my xserver crashed a min ago and i had to hard restart to fix it, if that ever happens again, is there anything i can try to get xserver back? | 17:46 |
| scunizi | moymoy: it's one of those things that when you find a driver that functions well, no issues, you stick with it. Keep the binary because with every kernel upgrade you have to reinstall. | 17:46 |
| nsadmin | hittt: you said that already :P | 17:46 |
| Pepsi | Does ubuntu support NTFS? | 17:46 |
| scunizi | yes | 17:46 |
| kevix | Pepsi: yes. | 17:46 |
| Dreki | pepsi: yes | 17:46 |
| Pepsi | What is the best file format for Ubuntu | 17:46 |
| Pepsi | ? | 17:46 |
| hittt | nsadmin: ye but the channel is busy enough to hide it in moments | 17:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Pepsi: you mean FILESYSTEM ? | 17:47 |
| enoch | hi all | 17:47 |
| Dreki | pepsi im useing ext4 | 17:47 |
| Pepsi | Yeah, for memorysticks and suc | 17:47 |
| kevix | Pepsi: when I mount my NTFS partitons, it uses a FUSE modules to load the ntfs-3 stuff | 17:47 |
| Pepsi | such** | 17:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Pepsi: depends on the exact needs. | 17:47 |
| hittt | Pepsi: EXT4 for 9.04 | 17:47 |
| minimec | Pepsi: fat32 | 17:47 |
| Zencyde | Man, options in Linux are pretty sweet. I've had a misbehaving application take away user input before and have SSHed into my box while sitting at it on my phone so that I could kill the offending process without bringing down my system. I am lost as to why people use Windows. :( | 17:47 |
| ggg | kevdog, checking this thanks | 17:47 |
| os11 | whats diff between ext3 and ext4? | 17:47 |
| nsadmin | hittt: if you don't provide information, nothing will happen | 17:47 |
| Pepsi | Can't it support FAT64 which I can assume it is better? | 17:47 |
| Dr_Willis | os11: ext4 is supposed to be faster. | 17:47 |
| Pepsi | But that is for windows | 17:47 |
| enoch | i'm trying the via drivers on a unichrome9 chipset, but when i start xorg it says that the "via" module does not exist, but if i type modprobe via it loads the module without problems... what can i dow? | 17:47 |
| kevix | Zencyde: heh | 17:47 |
| Pepsi | I mean Fat64 | 17:47 |
| minimec | Pepsi: I would use fat32 for usb sticks. | 17:47 |
| Pepsi | But not under 2 gbyte | 17:48 |
| kevdog | ggg: Do this at the command line sudo apt-cache search purple | 17:48 |
| Dreki | pepsi id say for somthing u want other computers to be able to read, including windows computers NTFS or fat-32 | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Pepsi: 'better' depends on your needs. - use fat filesytems on external flash drives. | 17:48 |
| moymoy | Pepsi: i use ext4 on my computer.. and for ntfs, as far as i know .. ubuntu can READ and WRITE from ntfs.. but probably not a good idea to install onto an ntfs partition ... 1: file permissions 2: NTFS drivers are loaded as modules by default | 17:48 |
| hittt | nsadmin: It randomly hangs, killing the internet access | 17:48 |
| kevdog | ggg: Does anything come up | 17:48 |
| os11 | i am using ext2 here for my netbook | 17:48 |
| kevix | os11: ext3 is tested, ext4 is very,very new and not tested. | 17:48 |
| os11 | maybe ssd | 17:48 |
| Pepsi | Cool, so ext4 then | 17:48 |
| ggg | kevdog: sudo apt-get install purple ?? | 17:48 |
| Pepsi | And how much can it support | 17:48 |
| Pepsi | A terabyte | 17:48 |
| Pepsi | ? | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Pepsi: ext4 for external flash drive is not a good idea | 17:48 |
| hittt | nonon | 17:48 |
| hittt | Exabytes | 17:48 |
| Pernicious | Dr_Willis: it says E: Couldn't find package tclx3 | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Pernicious: the command was | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install tclx8.3 | 17:49 |
| kevdog | or aptitude! | 17:49 |
| Zencyde | Man, you guys are crazy. It's all about the ReiserFS. | 17:49 |
| Pepsi | Okay guys thnx for all the information | 17:49 |
| Pepsi | Bye | 17:49 |
| ftab | How do I apply a filter in evolution so that emails from specific user should automatically go to that ? | 17:49 |
| hittt | Pepsi: it supports up to 1 terabyte for 1 file. thousounds of terabytes for harddisk | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | thats what running 'tcl' command said. | 17:49 |
| om26er1 | plz tell me can i use gnome themes on xubuntu | 17:49 |
| nsadmin | Pernicious if you want the latest, you could build it | 17:49 |
| kevdog | ggg: sudo apt-cache search purple | 17:49 |
| moymoy | how do you ssh from a windows machine? | 17:49 |
| kevix | Zencyde: you do know about Hans ;) | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er1: for some parts you can.. since you are not using metacity.. | 17:50 |
| Pepsi | Pepsi: it supports up to 1 terabyte for 1 file. (oh my god | 17:50 |
| nsadmin | moymoy you need an ssh client | 17:50 |
| kevdog | moymoy: Through use of putty or use of cygwin openssh implementation | 17:50 |
| Zencyde | kevix: Isn't that the reason to use it? It's not being maintained, from my understanding. | 17:50 |
| scunizi | Zencyde: I like ReiserFS too.. but can't be read by the win side of the box (needed) and development is slow or nonexistant | 17:50 |
| ggg | kevdog: i got some list of packages | 17:50 |
| Zencyde | kevix: I mean, all the cool admins are doing it. | 17:50 |
| om26er1 | Dr_Willis: what that mean can u plz clear me | 17:50 |
| Pernicious | Dr_Willis and how do i install tcl dev package? | 17:50 |
| ggg | kevdog: which should i install ? i am confused | 17:50 |
| kevix | Zencyde: with linux, there is choice. | 17:51 |
| ftab | How do I apply a filter in evolution so that emails from specific user should automatically go to that ? | 17:51 |
| Pepsi | How can I edit the registry through Ubuntu? | 17:51 |
| moymoy | kevdog: nsadmin, so there's no other way but to download a client (onto someone else's) windows computer for my own benefit? | 17:51 |
| kevdog | ggg: Your output should be a bunch of packages -- do you see purple plugin pack listed | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er1: Metacity is the gnome window maanger.. XFCE uses its own window manager.. so you can use some parts of the gnome 'themes' like widgits/icons/colors/ but not the metacity theme parts. | 17:51 |
| ftab | Pepse there is no Registry concept in Ubuntu | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er1: theres also xfce themes out.. | 17:51 |
| kevix | Pepsi: I think you mean the 'sources.list' | 17:51 |
| Zencyde | XFCE? | 17:51 |
| nasrullah | my pidgin crashed on jaunty...segmentation error how to fix it??????? | 17:51 |
| Zencyde | Should be using BlackBox. | 17:51 |
| kevdog | moymoy: or download a portable client and run from USB stick -- and yes you need a cliet app | 17:51 |
| realitytvkills | hi | 17:51 |
| Dreki | my xserver crashed a min ago and i had to hard restart to fix it, if that ever happens again, is there anything i can try to get xserver back? | 17:51 |
| Pepsi | YES | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !xfce | 17:52 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 17:52 |
| om26er1 | ok | 17:52 |
| moymoy | Pepsi: there's the gconfeditor which is sorta like registry editing.. probably what you're looking for | 17:52 |
| scunizi | kevix: ftab maybe he means editing the win. registry from ubuntu | 17:52 |
| realitytvkills | my HD only mounts as read-only | 17:52 |
| realitytvkills | it says it remounts as RO on errors, any advice? | 17:52 |

| ggg | kevdog: yes purple plugin is there | 17:52 |
| Pepsi | Thanks moymoy, googling now | 17:52 |
| Pepsi | :) | 17:52 |
| realitytvkills | oh, and my text doesn't show up when I type it | 17:52 |
| Zencyde | Dr_Willis: Thank you. That wasn't an inquisitive question, though. :) | 17:52 |
| ftab | hmm | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | its great when someone asks a question.. then we have to guess what hes really asking.. :) | 17:52 |
| realitytvkills | but that;'s Freenode's fault | 17:52 |
| ggg | kevdog: so i am running sudo apt-get install purple-plugin | 17:52 |
| Pepsi | Lol | 17:52 |

| scunizi | kevix: I know .. I shuddered with the thought as wel. | 17:52 |
| nasrullah | your help please..thank you | 17:52 |
| lavida | can someone help me to write startup script for changing color profile with xcalib | 17:53 |
| kevix | nasrullah: to fix a segmenation fault, you would need to debug the program and find the source code error. | 17:53 |
| kevdog | ggg: do you see the specific name of the package?? If you do then its sudo apt-get (or aptitude) install <name of package> | 17:53 |
| Pepsi | nasrullah kefak | 17:53 |
| ggg | kevdog: sorry there is nothing like purple | 17:53 |
| ggg | kevdog: it is pidgin-plugin-pack - 30 useful plugins for pidgin | 17:53 |

| d_b | Hi, I'm looking for a program to download podcasts. It has to be in the repositories and I prefer command line, but it doesn't *have to* be if it's good enough. Right now I'm using gpodder but I don't like how all the files downloaded end up with a weird filename and how it temporarily hangs when starting a download | 17:54 |
| kevix | Zencyde: is the interweb full of weeds? | 17:54 |
| Pepsi | Then why? | 17:54 |
| Zencyde | kevix: Oh God, I hope so. | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er1: check the package manager. and the various theme web sites. like gome-look.org | 17:54 |
| kevdog | ggg: sudo aptitude install pidgin-plugin-pack | 17:54 |
| Zencyde | Pepsi: Why not? Some people like to help. :) | 17:54 |
| kevdog | Pepsi: send me my check!!!! | 17:54 |

| nasrullah | pepsi alhamdollilah | 17:55 |
| Pepsi | How about a free megaupload premium :) | 17:55 |

| kevix | Pepsi: or you can find Ubuntu folks in your community/state and say hi to them. | 17:55 |

| kevdog | Pepsi: do you have any knowledge? | 17:56 |

| phpgunner | i wouldn;t worry about it, as long as it works ;) | 18:06 |
| DVA5912 | th0r: you think i wrote a driver?! LOLOLOLOL | 18:06 |
| th0r | DVA5912: I think the guy who wrote the driver he shared with you didn't place much value on an led | 18:07 |
| kevdog | ggg: is pidgin guifications contained in the repository? | 18:07 |
| kevix | th0r: maybe it save energy ;) | 18:07 |

| ggg | kevix: how can i use finch , i install finch | 18:08 |

| leagris | hello, my wireless connection using WG111v3 802.11g Adapter was plagged with Roamed from BSSID none every 2 minutes. NetworkManager cause the plague and I had to configure it the hard way in /etc/network/interfaces. By the way networkmanager still show on desktop and says it is not connected but it is realy connected. Are there fixes for NetworkManager regarder poor flakey wireless support? | 18:09 |
| * kevdog says maybe ill play around with finch -- very nooooobie on that | 18:09 | |
| iamslango | where can I find details on how a particular package is built? | 18:09 |
| dethray | when I stop gdm to get into the console my system freezes with a black screen. I'm using gdm stop | 18:10 |
| kevdog | leagris -- wicd | 18:10 |
| kevdog | !wicd | 18:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd | 18:10 |
| ggg | kevdog: i'm not sure exactly, the notification is nothing but a smile icon at the top righe corner | 18:10 |
| Ecsi | minimec : Thx | 18:10 |
| kevdog | ggg: Look at the pidgin guifications plugin | 18:10 |
| minimec | Ecsi: np | 18:10 |
| kevdog | ggg: I gave you the website | 18:10 |
| th0r | dethray: don't stop gdm...use 'init 2' | 18:11 |
| ggg | kevdog: i get the notification as a "smile icon" at the top right corner where the pidgin icon is | 18:11 |
| kevdog | init 6 will reboot | 18:11 |
| hittt | ggg: notify-send maybe? | 18:11 |
| leagris | kevdog fine, have you experienced with the Roaming to none every 2 minuts and is it solved with wicd? | 18:11 |
| th0r | dethray: but you can get into a console by pressing Alt-Ctl-F2 and you can get back into x again wwiht Alt-F7 | 18:11 |
| kevdog | http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wiki/Guifications will explain a toaster popup! | 18:12 |
| ggg | kevdog: i get the notification when i open and work in another window or in another program/application | 18:12 |
| Starchaser | hello, can i upgrade direct from 7.10 to 9.04 without step-by-step updating? | 18:12 |
| dethray | Still getting a blank screen, th0r... :) | 18:12 |
| kevdog | leagris: I dont have your problem but unless you need gui VPN support -- I would use WICD IMO! | 18:12 |
| bazhang | Starchaser, no | 18:12 |
| moymoy | Starchaser: it's not a good idea to skip so many versions.. lots of things will be broken, but you can upgrade to an LTS version like 8.10 and go on to 9.04 | 18:13 |
| kevdog | Starchaser -- Burn a new cd and install from scatch | 18:13 |
| th0r | dethray: a blank screen with what? init 2? | 18:13 |
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know how I can make my USB headphones work? | 18:13 |
| bazhang | moymoy, 8.10 is not lts | 18:13 |
| r696 | How do I find out what version of a package is available in Ubunut 9.04's repo? I need to know what version of Erlang, 9.04 (Jaunty) has in it's repos. | 18:13 |
| ggg | kevdog: did you mean "sudo aptitude install pidgin-guifications | 18:13 |
| ggg | " | 18:13 |
| hittt | 8.04 is LTS | 18:13 |
| dethray | Correct, th0r | 18:13 |
| moymoy | bazhang: huh? 8.04 then? | 18:13 |
| bazhang | moymoy, yes | 18:13 |
| forrest | is it at all possible to downgrade the xserver to 1.5 from 1.6? | 18:13 |
| dethray | ctrl-alt-f2 gives me a blank screen | 18:13 |
| kevdog | ggg: Yes try that but then get back to me -- you will need a theme file in addition to the plugin | 18:14 |
| Ecsi | ha rootal lepek be az gnomeba | 18:14 |
| forrest | (this is in jaunty) | 18:14 |
| th0r | dethray: init 2 should force a reboot into a command line login prompt | 18:14 |
| bazhang | Ecsi, english here please | 18:14 |
| leagris | thanks kevdog | 18:14 |
| th0r | dethray: does it reboot or just lock up? | 18:14 |
| Ecsi | sorry ... another chanel write | 18:14 |
| dethray | Lets see | 18:14 |
| kevdog | leagris: I usually connect via the command line but imdano the WICD developer is really good with help and is alot of times in this channel. | 18:15 |
| dethray | Hmm | 18:15 |
| kevdog | ggg: http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wiki/Guifications#HowdoIinstallatheme | 18:15 |
| dethray | sudo init 2 | 18:15 |
| dethray | ?? | 18:15 |

| th0r | dethray: right...you'll need sudo | 18:16 |
| dethray | Noting happens :) | 18:16 |
| kevdog | ▬♂,J | 18:16 |
| ggg | kevdog: i install pidgin-guifications | 18:16 |
| kevdog | ggg: Now you need to install a theme and you'll be good to go! | 18:17 |
| th0r | dethray: oops...too many years in suse....you need init 1 and it will force single user mode. In ubuntu there is no non-X multiuser mode | 18:17 |
| drone | I'm getting bzip2 sub process errors whenever I try to update, no matter what servers I use, could someone help me set it straight? | 18:17 |
| th0r | dethray: but if you want such a login why not use Alt-Ctl-F2-F6....you can have five command prompts plus X running at once | 18:17 |
| ggg | kevdog: which theme ? | 18:18 |
| drone | I've already looked all over forums and various other sites, but no fix helped | 18:18 |
| kevdog | ggg: The theme tar.gz files are located here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=92888&atid=676821 Download one of the files.. Then read the wiki instruction page on how to install the theme | 18:18 |
| drone | I'm also getting badsig errors as well | 18:18 |
| kevdog | ggg: Whatever them you want!!! | 18:18 |

| JoeM | anyone use virtualbox? | 18:20 |

| drone | JoeM: I do, its great! | 18:21 |
| moymoy | JoeM: i have a virtual box | 18:21 |

| MetaMorfoziS | Hi all! Can anybody tell me why netcat dies with "invalid connection to xxx" while i try to make a simple tcp connection between them? (shell1: netcat -l localhost -p 6000 shell2: netcat localhost 6000) ? | 18:21 |
| th0r | JoeM: if we do we are going to wait until you ask a question about it | 18:21 |
| daedalus_ | Hi | 18:21 |
| ggg | kevdog: cofused which should i install and how to install one ? | 18:21 |
| big-G-upstairs | thanks ggg , but who needs hundreds of themes for just one desktop ? :P | 18:21 |
| archman | moymoy, i only have 64 ubuntu and vista, and i want to replace 64bit ubuntu with 32bit ubuntu | 18:21 |
| dethray | Well, ended up freezing the system, th0r | 18:21 |
| ggg | kevdog: how to install a theme ? | 18:21 |
| th0r | dethray: what...init 2? | 18:21 |
| dethray | init 1 | 18:21 |
| leebert64 | Got a Dell Latitude, it has an S-Video port, I'm unable to get a display from. Is there a key stroke needed to enable it? | 18:21 |
| scunizi | moymoy: archman any 32 bit os will only recognize 3.2+ but less then 4gigs of ram.. | 18:21 |
| moymoy | archman: it's possible.. | 18:21 |
| th0r | dethray: did it start a reboot or freeze before loading grub to restart? | 18:21 |
| minimec | viginbala: If your webcam is supported by the kernel, you don't have to install anything. | 18:22 |
| JoeM | good, maybe one of you know what is a good webcam (Logitech is easy for me to find) that I can share with virtualbox is... I asked earlier but I guess no one used it at all | 18:22 |
| dethray | froze with a blank screen | 18:22 |
| archman | thanks moymoy! | 18:22 |
| * kevdog says | 18:22 | |
| minimec | viginbala: What kind of device is that? | 18:22 |
| viginbala | minimec how to check that | 18:22 |
| kevdog | ggg: what? I lost connection for a minute | 18:22 |
| moymoy | scunizi: not if he enables PAE! ;) ... never tried it though.. only have 2 GB of RAM anyway | 18:22 |
| th0r | dethray: sounds like a problem with shutdown. If you try to shutdown the computer from X does it shut down OK? | 18:22 |
| viginbala | minimec that webcam name is zippys indian company | 18:22 |
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know how I can make my USB headphones work? | 18:22 |
| minimec | viginbala: plug in the device if it is usb. | 18:22 |
| dethray | Yes it does just fine | 18:22 |
| viginbala | minimec plugged | 18:23 |
| kevdog | ggg: You there -- You drag and drop the theme.tar.gz file | 18:23 |
| minimec | viginbala: Open a terminal <alt>F2 gnome-terminal | 18:23 |
| dethray | I think it has to do with a mode change. xorg and nvidia driver only see one resolution. | 18:23 |
| th0r | dethray: from the desktop, if you press Alt-Ctl-F2 do you get to a command prompt? | 18:23 |
| viginbala | minimec i did aftr that | 18:23 |
| dethray | I also get a blank screen, th0r | 18:23 |
| ggg | kevdog: which should i download from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?limit=100&func=&group_id=92888&atid=676821&assignee=&status=&category=&artgroup=&keyword=&submitter=&artifact_id=&assignee=&status=&category=&artgroup=&submitter=&keyword=&artifact_id=&submit=Filter | 18:23 |
| minimec | viginbala: type dmesg in it. The last lines indivate if the device was recognized by the system. | 18:24 |
| kevdog | ggg: Download whatever tar.gz file you want | 18:24 |
| th0r | dethray: hmmm....might be an issue with the framebuffer driver for non-X video...haven't messed with Framebuffer in years | 18:24 |
| minimec | viginbala: If it is recognized you will probably have a new /dev/video0 device. | 18:24 |
| dethray | Thanks for the help, th0r :) | 18:24 |
| dethray | I'll keep hacking away | 18:24 |
| th0r | dethray: sounds like graphic (X) video works OK, but not the text mode...just the opposite of what everyone else complains about <smile> | 18:25 |
| kevdog | ggg: I think I use Pidgin Guification Human Theme -- I think -- I don't remember | 18:25 |
| viginbala | minimec wait i'll give d link see that | 18:25 |
| minimec | viginbala: now open gstreamer-properties. <alt>F2 gstreamer-properties. | 18:25 |
| JoeM | drone, moymoy: you have any experience with sharing USB webcams into virtualbox? | 18:25 |
| dethray | haha so true | 18:25 |
| moymoy | dethray: do you have usplash enabled at boot? | 18:25 |
| ggg | kevdog: vista light can't download from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2803627&group_id=92888&atid=676821 | 18:25 |
| moymoy | JoeM: VirtualboxOSE doesn't support USB's | 18:25 |
| kevdog | ggg: Try another theme then | 18:25 |
| JoeM | moymoy I know that, I installed the one from sun | 18:26 |
| weranse | hello | 18:26 |

| mikebeecham | is there any way of repositioning or customising the notification panel that arrived with Jaunty? | 18:26 |
| dethray | Uhm let me check the grub.conf moymoy | 18:26 |
| JoeM | moymoy I currently have a quickcam pro 5000, but having a hard time getting it to work with Ubuntu in general (read it's not that well supported), so I was going to get another one... just want to make sure it'll work with virtualbox as well as Ubuntu | 18:26 |
| kevdog | ♂▬♂☼ | 18:26 |
| minimec | JoeM: There was(maybe still is) a problem with Logitech cams. You have to remove the linux EHCI driver, if you wanna use the cam in Virtualbox. 'sudo rmmod ehci'. Warnig: You loose USB 2.0 support in ubuntu until the next boot. | 18:27 |
| viginbala | minimec opened that one | 18:27 |
| moymoy | JoeM: sorry .. i've never worked with webcams myself | 18:27 |
| moymoy | dethray: should be in menu.lst | 18:27 |
| minimec | viginbala: Go to the video tab and try to find a webcam there. | 18:27 |
| kevdog | any webcams work in ubuntu | 18:27 |
| JoeM | minimec but USB 2.0 support comes back after reboot, and the cams still works? | 18:27 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| ggg | kevdog: downloaded it now how to install it ? | 18:28 |
| moymoy | he wants it to work in a virtual box too.. but vboxOSE doesn't support usb i don't think. | 18:28 |
| cjae | !ipod | 18:28 |

| JoeM | moymoy np, maybe you can help me figure out why virtualbox keeps losing internet connection randomly (and for short bursts), I have the network interface set up as NAT | 18:28 |
| th0r | moymoy: correct...ose doesn't...he needs 3.0 | 18:28 |
| PeskyJ | how do I see the gateway address on a network adapter? I thought it was displayed in ifconfig but it's not | 18:28 |
| minimec | JoeM: USB 2.0 comes back, but you have to remove it again before you start the Virtualbox, if you want to use it in Virtualbox ;) | 18:28 |
| kevdog | ggg; http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wiki/Guifications#HowdoIinstallatheme | 18:28 |
| PhantomSV | a good ftp server program for ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| dethray | moymoy, there is a "splash" in there but no usplash. | 18:29 |
| JoeM | minimec well that's just plain irritating | 18:29 |
| th0r | JoeM: try switching the network device for the guest to Intel Pro | 18:29 |
| viginbala | minimec: video plugin? video for linux 2(v4l2) | 18:29 |
| jrib | !ftpd | PhantomSV | 18:29 |
| ubottu | PhantomSV: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP | 18:29 |
| minimec | viginbala: I guess yes. | 18:29 |
| kevdog | ggg: Do the first bullet point -- its the easiest. Bullet Point #2 also works however its a little bit more advanced method | 18:29 |
| Flannel | PhantomSV: What are you going to use it for? just personal use? | 18:29 |
| PhantomSV | Flannel, yea i want to allow my frinds to download some stuff | 18:30 |
| kevdog | proftpd | 18:30 |
| viginbala | minimec: but dmesg msg not shown like this /dev/video0 device. | 18:30 |
| christina | hi | 18:30 |
| minimec | JoeM: Seems to be a major problem, as that bug exists quiet a long time. | 18:30 |
| PhantomSV | kevdog, but i tried that and i was lost, how could i add users? | 18:30 |
| Flannel | PhantomSV: You'd be better off going with sftp. It's more secure, and easier to set up | 18:30 |
| moymoy | dethray: okay... that just means it shows the little ubuntu logo and a progress bar when you turn on your computer.. i was just wondering why you got a blank screen when you CTRL+ALT+F2'd .. | 18:30 |
| kevdog | Flannel: Thanks for mentioning that == I did not know that! | 18:30 |
| JoeM | minimec no way to get USB 2.0 back besides reboot? I only need support for the cam for an online class (classroom uses windows only software, wine and all other attemps to make it work failed) for a couple hours 2-3 days a week | 18:31 |
| moymoy | dethray: if you had other options in there, disabling splash and changing the resolution.. | 18:31 |
| dethray | Me too :P | 18:31 |
| kevdog | Hold on -- sftp uses ssh | 18:31 |
| minimec | viginbala: So use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and copy/paste the dmesg results. | 18:31 |
| Bullaro | Anyone knows what this means? Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1002.0". | 18:31 |

| kevdog | ? | 18:31 |
| Flannel | PhantomSV: just install openssh-server, and then port forward your ssh port (22) | 18:31 |
| minimec | JoeM: You could try to modprobe ehci afterwards. Don't know if it works. | 18:31 |
| kevdog | Flannel: You need an openssh server | 18:31 |
| th0r | JoeM: I had the same intermittent problem with the default device....once I switched to the INtelPro nic everything settled down. Run 7 different OSs with no issues | 18:32 |
| PhantomSV | Flannel, now u confused me, sftp now openssh-server? | 18:32 |
| Bullaro | Anyone knows what this means? Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1002.0". Its the error I got while installing mysql-server5.1. This error appears like 10 times when the server is starting | 18:32 |
| kevdog | Is there a way to only allow sftp access and not shell access with openssh -- or do you need a jail? | 18:32 |
| PeskyJ | how do I get the gateway IP address as sent by the DHCP server? | 18:32 |
| dethray | can I make a grub entry that will boot me into the console? | 18:32 |
| kevdog | ggg: Results? | 18:32 |
| Flannel | PhantomSV: sftp uses ssh, so yes. | 18:32 |
| PeskyJ | ifconfig doesn't display it | 18:32 |
| viginbala | minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.com/215605/ see this | 18:32 |
| PeskyJ | any other programs that might? | 18:33 |
| kevdog | Flannel: But what if you don't want to give shell or console access? | 18:33 |
| th0r | dethray: I think you just need to type 'single' into the grub options line when it appears | 18:33 |
| Shortguy109 | Does anyone know how I can make my USB headphones work? | 18:33 |
| ggg | kevdog: yes it works,but the problem is the guification notifies too much, if someone replies me or if someone asks something to everybody the notification pops up | 18:33 |
| Flannel | kevdog: He's just doing it for friends, etc, so that's not an issue. | 18:33 |
| PokerFacePenguin | volk: this might help you some http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/sendmail-from-the-command-line-288920/ | 18:33 |
| dethray | Thanx th0r | 18:33 |
| minimec | viginbala: Could you do the same with lsusb? thx ;) | 18:33 |
| th0r | dethray: but that I think forces a boot into runlevel 1 just like init 1 does...so will probably lock your system up | 18:33 |
| kevdog | Flannel: Yea but one friend tells another friend ... and so on | 18:33 |
| dethray | hehe | 18:33 |
| PhantomSV | exactly | 18:34 |

When mounting the /dev/md0 to a folder such as /var/media it doesn't give me an error.. but I don't know how to check to make sure that it did mount ok because when I see the properties of the folder it only shows 155GB instead of the 6.7TB volume I mounted.. | 18:34 |

Any help is appreciated. Thanks. | 18:59 |

| viginbala | minimec: thanks | 19:03 |
| Daremo | geld, and then it lists 6 files 2 in red 2 in blue, 2 in white in a horz listing instead of vertical like normal ls | 19:03 |
| geld | Daremo, are any those file listings equal to "libcrypto.so.0.9.8" ? | 19:04 |
| minimec | darlykaiser: you mean if you could use firefox 3.0 and firefox 3.5 in paralell with you same properties? Yes. Even if I don't use 3.5 permanently, all my configuration was present, like in 3.0. | 19:05 |
| Guest48022 | hello | 19:05 |
| Daremo | geld, yes i see the file here but it does NOT have the .bak ext that i had added earlier which i THOUGHT caused the problem | 19:05 |

| snarkster | grub can do it | 19:09 |

| snarkster | ok | 19:10 |
| snarkster | so what | 19:10 |
| sun01tech | surf: use one line | 19:10 |
| snarkster | grub can do it | 19:10 |
| surf | now when booting I receive grub error 18 | 19:10 |
| snarkster | read the howto on dual boot itll completely explain it all to you | 19:10 |
| Daremo | sigh dumb task bar... | 19:10 |
| Daremo | i have to fix this other machine too lol | 19:10 |
| surf | I think that´s bcause I have the ub partition full | 19:11 |
| geld | Daremo, use ls with the -a switch | 19:11 |
| surf | I tried to remove smt from it using a live | 19:11 |
| surf | and reinstall grub | 19:11 |
| TheLinuxMoron | Anyone know how to see what version of python i'm using.. I have ubuntu 9.04 | 19:11 |
| sun01tech | surf: was your dual boot working before | 19:11 |
| surf | but it still does not work | 19:11 |
| Daremo | geld, how do you get a pause in yuor listings so it all doesnt scroll | 19:11 |
| slayton | how do I make grub point to another boot loader on a different drive? | 19:11 |
| surf | ya everything was working correctly | 19:11 |
| snarkster | http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB | 19:11 |
| Daremo | geld, used to dir /p in dos | 19:12 |
| surf | so I think it´s because the ubuntu partition is full | 19:12 |
| geld | Daremo, you can pipe ls' output to more or less. E.g "ls -a libcrypto* | more" | 19:12 |
| surf | so what should I do? Lilo? | 19:12 |
| mobi-sheep | TheLinuxMoron: "sudo aptitude show <xyzpackage> | 19:12 |
| ggg | where would i type this "/msg NickServ identify <password>." | 19:12 |
| surf | I don´t want to create a new partition in the first mb of space of the hdd | 19:13 |
| geld | Daremo, replace more with less as less allows you to scroll up and down instead of in just one direction. | 19:13 |
| tritium | ggg: in your IRC client | 19:13 |
| mobi-sheep | ggg: On the textbox you're typing on. | 19:13 |
| surf | because that´s where win in installed (NTFS) | 19:13 |
| tritium | mobi-sheep: you don't need sudo with aptitude show | 19:13 |
| Daremo | geld, ls -a is listing but doesnt add anything abotu permissions.. looks the same as standard ls with more colors | 19:13 |
| TheLinuxMoron | k thx | 19:13 |
| ggg | mobi-sheep: what does it mean by /msg and NickServ ? | 19:14 |
| surf | any idea? | 19:14 |
| mobi-sheep | tritium: Well yeah. And for search too. | 19:14 |
| tritium | mobi-sheep: that's correct | 19:14 |

| Flannel | ubuntistas: firefox 3.5 is in the regular repositories. Just install firefox-3.5 | 19:48 |
| jrib | enovativ: you can ask questions about backup solutions on ubuntu here | 19:48 |
| studentz | ubunistas here is the PPA http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/ | 19:48 |

| Flannel | ubuntistas: `sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5` will get you 3.5 final, assuming your repositories haven't been tweaked oddly. | 19:50 |
| df00z1 | and have it point at my conf file??? | 19:50 |
| iceonnet | jrib, ofc i can do that, but i would rather have a direct ssh connection to it | 19:50 |

| enovativ | is there a backup solution in linux that can be used for a windoze environment | 19:53 |
| jrib | fosa: look for a "session" option somewhere in your preferences menu | 19:53 |
| lavagolemking1 | It's still trying to connect through archive.canonical.com no matter what I select under sources (both apt and Synaptic). Is there a parameter I can pass apt to install through either a proxy or specific server? | 19:53 |
| mobi-sheep | fosa: Look under Startup Applications. | 19:53 |
| jrib | enovativ: I like rsnapshot | 19:53 |
| tritium | lyra: it does | 19:53 |
| enovativ | jrib: does rsnapshot backup and verify ? | 19:54 |
| jrib | !apt | lavagolemking1 | 19:54 |
| ubottu | lavagolemking1: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 19:54 |
| enovativ | jrib: is there a GUI for rsnapshot | 19:54 |
| jrib | enovativ: it uses rsync which I'm pretty sure will verify but don't quote me | 19:54 |
| fosa | mobi-sheep, jrib purplenurple , i'm not sure sessions works, it's already enabled to automatically remember running applications when logging out but that doesn't do anything | 19:54 |
| enovativ | i don't need the gui i like CLI myself...but my co worker may need the GUI | 19:54 |
| minimec | surf: You could add 2nd hardisk as primary HD, install ubuntu on it. It will use the master boot of the second HD and grub should find the existing ubuntu installation. | 19:55 |

| kk_jaunti | hello all, I am facing this veard but very interesting problem with my lenovo thinkpad r60. I have an 8 months old battery which used to give about 3 hours on backup on full charge. when I installed a fresh version of jaunti for upgrading from hardy, it gave me 2 hours and 40 minits full capacity and never went above that. now here is a shock. I just upgraded my harddisk and today re-installed ubuntu. Surprise! now it only gives me 2 hours 15 minits | 20:21 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | what does that xorg.conf file do? | 20:22 |
| minimec | Shortguy109: it should be recognized by ubuntuas new (2nd) sound card. | 20:22 |

| mobi-sheep | baz: It analyzes the disk usage. Letting you know what/which folders takes the most spaces and etc. | 20:55 |
| Pici | !freenode | ggg | 20:55 |
| ubottu | ggg: freenode is Freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml. Freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml. The ubuntu channels on Freenode also have their own !guidelines | 20:56 |
| JonathanEllis | ggg: Yes irc.freenode.net Thats the server that hosts #ubuntu. But I gather that irc.ubuntu.com points at the same place | 20:56 |
| Pici | JonathanEllis: It does | 20:56 |
| ggg | Pici, yes freenode | 20:56 |
| ggg | JonathanEllis, what's the difference between irc.freenode.net and irc.ubuntu.com ? | 20:56 |
| mobi-sheep | ggg: Nothing. | 20:57 |
| JonathanEllis | ggg: I think irc.ubuntu.com must be an alias or a redirectoto irc.freenode.net | 20:57 |
| ggg | mobi-sheep, JonathanEllis how could you be sure that no difference ? | 20:58 |
| howie | so how do i recompile my kernal? | 20:58 |
| Pici | ggg: irc.ubuntu.com is a CNAME to chat.freenode.net | 20:58 |
| Pici | !kernel | howie | 20:58 |
| ubottu | howie: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 20:58 |
| marina2223 | Hello, im looking for some visual basic help , maybe a channel where to show my problem. Can someone help pls? | 20:58 |
| howie | pici: thank you | 20:58 |
| JonathanEllis | ggg: Well, I am logged in to an account on irc.freenode.net and it works. More than that I dont care. If irc.ubuntu.com works for you then no worries | 20:59 |
| malko | petit probleme vlc s'ouvre chez moi | 20:59 |

| duvnell | what repo should have libdvdcss2 in it? | 20:59 |
| SpadXIII | i'm having trouble connecting my wireless laptop to my router. earlier today, i could successfully connect to a different router with a similar setup (wpa/wpa2 with a password) i've been googling for a few days now, reinstalled a couple of times (it was a fresh install to begin with) but i've had no luck so far .. i'm lost | 20:59 |
| Scunizi | marina2223: isn't visual basic microsoft.. perhaps better in ##windows | 21:00 |
| ggg | JonathanEllis, yea those are aliases, | 21:00 |
| ggg | JonathanEllis, why are irc.freenode.com and irc.freenode.net same ? | 21:00 |
| Jeruvy | offhand anyone know the command to check what group a user is in? | 21:00 |
| mobi-sheep | ggg: If you don't believe me, do this in terminal --> "ping -c 1 irc.freenode.net ; ping -c 1 irc.ubuntu.com" --> And you'll see same IP address. | 21:00 |
| JonathanEllis | ggg: Dont know and dont care. If it works it works. | 21:00 |
| zugiart | Jeruvy: $ groups | 21:00 |
| SomebodySane | is this the right place to be asking for help setting up Jaunty Ubuntu (particularly solving sound problems), if not where should I go and how do I get there? I'm new to Ubuntu and IRC. | 21:00 |
| Pici | Jeruvy: groups | 21:00 |
| mobi-sheep | ggg: To make things easier. Most IRC clients came pre-ready for #ubuntu friendly support. | 21:00 |
| Purpley1 | ai | 21:00 |
| Purpley1 | hai | 21:01 |
| Jeruvy | Pici: hehe thanks. | 21:01 |
| JonathanEllis | SomebodySane: Yes. Just ask your question | 21:01 |
| Purpley1 | Can anyone here help me with wine | 21:01 |
| Purpley1 | I keep getting an error message when i try to run a .exe | 21:01 |
| Purpley1 | well | 21:01 |
| Purpley1 | in the terminal i do | 21:01 |
| ggg | mobi-sheep, irc.freenode.net and irc.freenode.com the .com and .net not the same domain ? | 21:01 |
| Purpley1 | but if i click on it in the GUI it dosent do anything | 21:01 |
| * Scunizi smacks Purpley1 .. don't wine in here! wait till we get home. | 21:01 | |
| ggg | mobi-sheep, top level domain are different !? | 21:02 |
| Switch10 | Wine is buggy | 21:02 |
| Purpley1 | Switch10 | 21:02 |
| Pici | ggg: on a terminal: dig irc.freenode.ncom | 21:02 |
| JonathanEllis | !wine | Purpley1 | 21:02 |
| ubottu | Purpley1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 21:02 |
| Purpley1 | I dont think Wine is the problem | 21:02 |
| Sub-Zero5 | how would i copy something in to my user direcotry? my dir is /home/zack/ but on other pc's their username will be diffrent so how do i get past that | 21:02 |
| Pici | ggg: It will tell you where that DNS name points | 21:02 |
| chris0 | the problem is not enough wine :D | 21:02 |
| dryfyre | hey any1 know how to get karmic without downloading it | 21:02 |
| Pici | dryfyre: #ubuntu+1 for karmic questions please | 21:03 |
| jarsen | Hey, I'm just messing around and installed ubuntu server (my first server) - I'm setting up vsftpd and I want to change the home directory to /var/www - does this introduce any security issues? I don't allow any anon users. | 21:03 |
| nsahoo | hi | 21:03 |
| Sub-Zero5 | Yo | 21:03 |
| purplenurple | jarsen use sftp instead of ftp much more secure | 21:03 |
| JonathanEllis | Purpley1: I very rarely get anything to work in Wine. It seems to me only the simplest windows apps work in it: that is the ones that dont need to be installed first | 21:03 |
| nsahoo | file-roller does not support rar off the installation, will it if i install rar and unrar packages? | 21:03 |
| Pici | nsahoo: indeed it will. | 21:04 |
| JonathanEllis | Purpley1: I use virtual box instead with a copy of windows installed on a virtual machine | 21:04 |
| Purpley1 | thats a good idea | 21:04 |
| jarsen | purplenurple: does vsftp not support sftp? | 21:04 |
| Sub-Zero5 | how would i copy something in to my user direcotry? my dir is /home/zack/ but on other pc's their username will be diffrent so how do i get past that? | 21:04 |
| nsahoo | Pici: thanks | 21:04 |
| Switch10 | I second virtualbox | 21:04 |
| purplenurple | sftp is already built in w/ ssh | 21:04 |
| jaredster | can anybody help me with cupsys on 9.04 server edition? | 21:04 |
| ggg | Pici, thanks | 21:04 |
| mobi-sheep | Pici: Nice. Didn't know about dig. | 21:04 |
| nsahoo | isn't there a cli tool that will unpack anything thrown at it? | 21:04 |
| purplenurple | if you want to jail users ... use chroot | 21:04 |
| Pici | mobi-sheep: its the replacement to nslookup | 21:05 |
| Purpley1 | err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\zac\\Desktop\\athenaII.exe") not found | 21:05 |
| Purpley1 | err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\zac\\Desktop\\athenaII.exe" failed, status c0000135 | 21:05 |
| Purpley1 | is that wine? | 21:05 |
| mobi-sheep | nsahoo: It's probably same as the packages you installed. | 21:05 |
| Purpley1 | or is that my program? | 21:05 |
| FloodBot3 | Purpley1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:05 |
| ggg | Pici, how can i know the aliases that are used here ? is there any command ? | 21:05 |
| Switch10 | Sub-Zero5: cp file name /home/zach | 21:05 |
| jaredster | https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/cups.html, according to this guide I need to edit files in the /etc/cups/cups.d/ directory, but it doens't exist. | 21:05 |
| chris0 | so I'm trying to get HDAPS working with my Thinkpad T61 via http://tinyurl.com/qwkfvk. I've got everything installed, without errors, but when I try to use hdapsd, I get an error saying 'open(protect_file): No such file or directory'. Touching and/or vi'ing the protect file (/sys/block/sda/queue/protect) as root returns an error saying 'can't touch, no such file or directory'...any ideas? | 21:05 |
| baz | whats the best way to backup ubuntu to S3 these days? A lot of the google articles are a little dated, not sure if there is a killer solution right now... | 21:05 |
| jaredster | and i've installed cups and cupsys already | 21:05 |
| nsahoo | mobi-sheep: what do you mean? rar unrar will uncompress anything? like .zip and tgz too? | 21:05 |
| SomebodySane | Trying to get sound working with Jaunty on a HP laptop; working my way through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting. Using the documentation I've identified my sound driver and codec. I'm stuck on the step that tells me to run "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf". This opens a menu for configuring the sound, but I'm not sure what. | 21:05 |
| Pici | ggg: You mean to see what other addresses point to chat.freenode.net? None that I'm aware of. | 21:05 |
| catharcyst | update-manager -d | 21:05 |
| mobi-sheep | !rar | nsahoo | 21:05 |
| ubottu | nsahoo: 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 | 21:05 |
| Sub-Zero5 | switch10 but on other pc's the username will be diffrent so it wont work, how do i get past that | 21:05 |
| ggg | Pici, yes | 21:05 |
| duvnell | I've got universe selected in my repos.. any reason I can't find libdvdcss2? | 21:06 |
| jarsen | purplenurple: oh, awesome. I just tested it out - way cool. Thanks. | 21:06 |
| nsadmin | jarsen ftp itself presents security problems; you don't ever want to type a password | 21:06 |
| mobi-sheep | nsahoo: I used p7z myself. I never had to rar somethnig -- but it got supports for unrar. | 21:06 |
| Scunizi | duvnell: yes.. it's not there. it's in the medibuntu repo's.. | 21:06 |
| ggg | Pici, is there any command to know the aliases of chat.freenode.net ? | 21:06 |
| Scunizi | !medibuntu | duvnell | 21:06 |
| ubottu | duvnell: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 21:06 |
| mobi-sheep | nsadmin: aptitude search p7zip | 21:06 |
| Bookman | I am running the Memtest86+ and I'm getting a ton of errors. How do I narrow it down to one stick? | 21:06 |
| purplenurple | jarsen, np | 21:06 |
| Pici | ggg: There is no command that I know of that will do that | 21:06 |
| ggg | Pici, as chat.freenode.net is equivalent to irc.ubuntu.com | 21:06 |
| duvnell | thx | 21:06 |
| Sub-Zero5 | !warning | afv | 21:07 |
| ubottu | afv: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 21:07 |
| Scunizi | Sub-Zero5: what command are you referring to? | 21:07 |
| nsahoo | mobi-sheep: thanks | 21:07 |
| Switch10 | Sub-Zero5: your trying to cp files from another users home folder to yours? | 21:07 |
| afv | hum? what command? | 21:07 |
| nsadmin | mobi-sheep: hmm? | 21:07 |
| jaredster | hmm | 21:07 |
| Purpley1 | I think i know | 21:07 |
| jaredster | can someone help me with this cups server? | 21:07 |
| Purpley1 | but i dont want to piss people off :P | 21:07 |

| afv | Sub-Zero5?? | 21:08 |
| catharcyst | nsahoo i used it before upgrading to karmic | 21:08 |
| Scunizi | Sub-Zero5: then you have to use sudo | 21:08 |
| Sub-Zero5 | what would be the command? | 21:08 |
| === catharcyst is now known as seeds | ||
| Sub-Zero5 | new to terminal :-( | 21:08 |
| arthur_ | i just burnt my updates to a cd using aptoncd now how do i install them on a computer with no internet connection ??? | 21:09 |
| ggg | how can i get back the menu bar in xchat ? it is hidden now | 21:09 |
| Scunizi | Sub-Zero5: sudo cp </home/<user>/path-to-file/file> </etc/whatever the rest of the path is> | 21:09 |
| SpadXIII | Bookman: shut down, remove all but 1 stick, run test again .. shut down, swap for another stick, run test again, etc ? | 21:09 |
| Purpley1 | sub-zer5 | 21:09 |
| Sub-Zero5 | Scunizi Thanks ill try that out | 21:09 |
| Purpley1 | su "command here" | 21:09 |
| Purpley1 | or type in sudo | 21:09 |
| nsahoo | catharcyst: why did you upgrade to karmic? | 21:09 |
| Purpley1 | and log in as root | 21:09 |
| td123 | nsadmin: iirc, the new rm doesn't let you delete root (/) | 21:09 |
| td123 | nsadmin: even if you do it as root | 21:10 |
| Scunizi | Purpley1: logging in as root is NOT recommended advice.. | 21:10 |
| seeds | nsahoo i had all kind of sound issues on my netbook with jaunty | 21:10 |
| mobi-sheep | ggg: F9 | 21:10 |
| Purpley1 | unless absolutley neccesary | 21:10 |
| ggg | mobi-sheep, thanks | 21:10 |
| Scunizi | Purpley1: and for 99.9% of the users never is. | 21:10 |
| Sub-Zero5 | Last prob, all the letter in terminal seem to be bunched up,http://g.imagehost.org/0039/Screenshot_10.png | 21:11 |
| howie | im having trouble with my wireless driver and i was told it was a ipv6 problem in the kernal do i really need to recompile to fix it? | 21:11 |
| arthur_ | i just burnt my updates to a cd using aptoncd, now how do i install them on a computer with no internet connection ??? | 21:11 |
| Purpley1 | none the less that .1% still counts | 21:11 |
| duvnell | hmm... now medibuntu shows in synaptic as a 3rd party source.. it's checked but libdvdcss2 is still not found when I search for it | 21:11 |
| duvnell | nvm.. cmdline works fine.. screw synaptic | 21:11 |
| Scunizi | duvnell: you have to "refresh".. use the button in synaptic or sudo apt-get update | 21:11 |
| nsahoo | seeds: ok | 21:12 |
| iamalion | hey everyone... | 21:12 |
| iamalion | i need help | 21:12 |
| Sub-Zero5 | Hi | 21:12 |
| seeds | skype works | 21:12 |
| duvnell | ahh.. quick search doesn't find it, but full search does.. go figure | 21:12 |
| Scunizi | Purpley1: for those that need it, it will be available.. to throw it out in a channel full of new/newer people looking for help just adds to the confustion. | 21:13 |
| Scunizi | *confusion | 21:13 |
| SpadXIII | could anyone help me with some network problems? (both wired and wireless) .. having troubles getting a network-connection | 21:13 |
| Purpley1 | kk Scunizi sorry just new here | 21:13 |
| JoeM | I know there is a tool for it... but I forgot the name, I have a RAR that I forgot the password on, how do I recover it? | 21:14 |
| JoeM | scunizi hey... guess what... still need to use Xinerama :( | 21:14 |
| stevecoh1 | with regard to flash problems of about an hour ago, the answer for me was uninstalling flashplugin-nonfree, adobe-flashplugin, swfdec-mozilla, and swfdec-gnome | 21:15 |
| stevecoh1 | And then everything worked. Did not have to install anything further. | 21:16 |
| iamalion | ok, so last night i installed a couple theme packages. a few mins after that, ubuntu froze. I rebooted and it keeps freezing.... So today I went through recoverey, and all that stuff, but it still freezes. if i open a window that has multiple secions, if i click in one, it traps my mouse and wont let me click on anything else, whether in the program window or the panels... i end up having to alt+f4 the program to regain mouse.... | 21:16 |
| iamalion | any ideas? I removed the packages that i installed last night | 21:16 |
| JoeM | rarcrack that was it | 21:16 |
| ubutu9 | what's the new yahoo server for pidgin ? | 21:16 |
| stevecoh1 | I am somewhat mystified with these results. | 21:16 |
| dryfyre | hey this is cool | 21:16 |
| iamalion | :l | 21:16 |
| afv | stevecoh1, what problems? | 21:17 |
| mobi-sheep | ubutu9: Just update your Pidgin to latest version. | 21:17 |
| iamalion | anyone know | 21:17 |
| mobi-sheep | ubutu9: http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ | 21:17 |
| duvnell | ok.. another question: brasero's not gonna be fun for me. I'm simply wanting to copy an inserted DVD to an iso on disk.. brasero can do this, but it names the ISO "brasero.iso" by default.. however it apparently knows the DVD's name because it displays it. I'm gonna be doing this for every DVD I have.. | 21:17 |
| stevecoh1 | Flash was not working for me since getting 9.04. Simply by uninstalling the above packages it now does. | 21:17 |
| duvnell | So, is there a better tool that will copy to ISO (don't want to rip to to a directory tree) and will name the ISO something meaningful or at least put it in a dir with a meaningful name? | 21:17 |
| ubutu9 | mobi-sheep: it's pidgin 2.5.8 | 21:17 |
| ubutu9 | mobi-sheep: i updated pidgin | 21:17 |
| mobi-sheep | ubutu9: Hmm. Should be working if you're talking about Yahoo issues? | 21:18 |
| ubutu9 | mobi-sheep: what's the version of pidgin you are using ? | 21:18 |
| stevecoh1 | This idea came from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/326609 except these guys had to reinstall and I didn't. | 21:18 |
| mobi-sheep | ubutu9: Same. 2.5.8 --> Yahoo Issue? http://tinyurl.com/pidgin-yahoo | 21:19 |
| K99Brain | iamalion, if you rename the hidden folders .gnome2 .gconf .gnome2_private you should be able to reset your desktop to default | 21:19 |
| Okay | What's a good usb encryption for flashdrives? I want something like rohos mini drive for ubuntu | 21:20 |
| K99Brain | iamalion, also .config | 21:20 |
| ubutu9 | mobi-sheep: is it 'scsa.msg.yahoo.com' in page server in your pidgin 2.5.8 ? | 21:20 |
| K99Brain | Okay, try truecrypt | 21:20 |
| mobi-sheep | !burn | duvnell | 21:21 |
| ubottu | duvnell: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 21:21 |
| === ravigehlot is now known as raviucf | ||
| Okay | K99Brain, is it simple to use? because I'm not that tech savvy with encryption | 21:21 |
| mobi-sheep | ubutu9: scsa.msg.yahoo.com --> Yup. | 21:21 |
| howie | ggg: you ever get your menu bar back? | 21:21 |
| ubutu9 | mobi-sheep: ok | 21:21 |
| duvnell | !rip | duvnell | 21:21 |
| ubottu | duvnell, please see my private message | 21:21 |
| K99Brain | Okay, not very simple, but there is a guide on the ubuntu wiki | 21:22 |
| nsahoo | can't figure how to extract only a certain type of files from a rar using 7z. any help? | 21:22 |
| jose__ | mariajose | 21:22 |
| K99Brain | !truecrypt | Okay | 21:22 |
| ubottu | Okay: Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume | 21:22 |
| jose__ | hello | 21:22 |
| mobi-sheep | Okay: TrueCrypt is easier than using linux native dm-crypt for encryption. | 21:22 |
| jose__ | install web cam | 21:22 |
| duvnell | perhaps I should just write a bash script and call dd | 21:22 |
| jose__ | i do not | 21:22 |
| duvnell | need way to get title tho | 21:22 |
| jose__ | ok | 21:22 |
| iamalion | hm | 21:22 |
| iamalion | darn | 21:22 |
| mobi-sheep | duvnell: Could google for cli dvd rip. | 21:23 |
| jose__ | how install web cam | 21:23 |
| Okay | problem is that I want to use truecrypt on another computer, but has restricted access like at school | 21:23 |
| ubutu9 | is it possible to change the color of a user in irc in pidgin ? | 21:23 |
| mobi-sheep | !info dvdbackup | duvnell | 21:24 |
| ubottu | duvnell: dvdbackup (source: dvdbackup): tool to rip DVD's from the command line. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-2build1 (jaunty), package size 24 kB, installed size 96 kB | 21:24 |
| duvnell | mobi-sheep: cool checking it out | 21:24 |
| Clooluss | I have some strange DVD playback issues. SHoudl I y?ask here or is there a medibuntu channel I should tr | 21:25 |
| mobi-sheep | ubottu: I don't think so. Pidgin supports IRC protocol but it probably should not be used as a full-term if you start wanting scripts and such. | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:26 |
| Scunizi | Clooluss: ask | 21:26 |
| Okay | one more question, when I start up ubuntu, all the icons that I dragged to the upper taskbar are not there, but when I go "re-drag" those icons to the taskbar again, they appear. Is there a fix? | 21:27 |
| duvnell | I installed dvdrip earlier.. and it installed about 60 dependancies.. now I found out that it's not what I want.. is there a way in apt or synaptic to ask it to remove dvdrip and all it's dependancies that aren't being used by any other installed package? | 21:27 |
| duvnell | again.. I'm thinking I'm about to need to write a bash script :) | 21:27 |
| lemay | I just installed ubuntu onto a vm player, and I am trying to build an application that I checked out from SVN. When I try to build it, I get a lot of permission denied errors. Any ideas how to fix it? | 21:28 |
| Clooluss | OK, basically I can't watch any modern DVDs. DVDs from a few years ago seem to open, but newer ones simply arent' recognised. I have libdvdread4 and libdvdnav and w32codecs and all that installed, but it won't recognise the DVD at any level. The really strange thing is that I have watched some of these DVDs befor on this same machine, ont his very same installation of Jaunty. | 21:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | is there a way to make the desktop live CD install without the desktop feature i.e. server, the reason for this i havent got any more CDs to spare and removing the desktop feature is just an extra step i wish not to take? | 21:28 |
| zzz | how to insert horizontal line i xchat ? | 21:28 |
| duvnell | Clooluss: try installing libdvdcss2 | 21:28 |
| Clooluss | maybe I should try clearing out the .libdvdcss folder? | 21:28 |
| mobi-sheep | duvnell: sudo aptitude purge <xyz> does not do it? | 21:28 |
| Clooluss | duvnell: Already got it. | 21:28 |
| duvnell | mobi-sheep: will try | 21:28 |
| dryfyre | way better thn windows | 21:28 |

| VanDyke_ | nope | 22:11 |
| Hilikus | IMO | 22:11 |
| nsadmin | what I did in emacs was have the .h file for the class I was looking at and copy/pasted it | 22:11 |
| VanDyke_ | os x is much much worse than windows | 22:11 |
| VanDyke_ | I like windows... os x is CRAP | 22:11 |
| Flannel | Hey guys, take the OS discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 22:11 |
| nsadmin | I guess you could try netbeans | 22:11 |
| VanDyke_ | ok | 22:11 |
| Hilikus | i like windows XP too | 22:11 |
| Switch10 | I don't like that if something goes wrong u have to overpay apple to fix it | 22:11 |

| a514 | strep open a terminal | 22:26 |
| strep_ | ok a514 and how do i run something as root? | 22:27 |
| juiCeppe | duvnell its a network without clinets...so i'm tryn the fragmantation ... | 22:27 |
| juiCeppe | and chopchop | 22:27 |
| Switch10 | strep_: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 22:27 |
| a514 | strep gnome/panel/applications/accessories/terminal | 22:27 |
| juiCeppe | but both didn't work | 22:27 |
| kevdog | are password passed to the nickserv in plain text or hashed? | 22:27 |
| Switch10 | strep_: sudo to run as root | 22:27 |
| kevdog | passwords used when logging into #ubuntu or freenode? | 22:27 |
| duvnell | juiCeppe: no idae | 22:28 |
| K99Brain | strep_, everytime you have to run something as root, you have to put sudo before the command | 22:28 |
| lstarnes | kevdog: you send the password in plaintext, but it's stored on freenode's services as a hash | 22:28 |
| strep_ | ok ty K99Brain | 22:28 |
| Switch10 | strep_: then restartx | 22:28 |
| a514 | yeah open a black box and type sudo nvidia-xconfig and enter | 22:28 |
| kevdog | lstarnes: That kind of defeats things -- don't you think! | 22:28 |
| lstarnes | kevdog: sometiem in the future, freenode will support using SASL-like mechanisms such as DH+Blowfish for identifying | 22:29 |
| kevdog | Why doesn't the client just hash the password before sending it -- Ok -- so maybe its a dumb question | 22:29 |
| lstarnes | kevdog: the hash sent by the client might use a different salt than what the server uses | 22:29 |
| Joeseph | Anyone know of a place to download the default KUbuntu sound theme? Is there a package for it? | 22:29 |

| sugarmagnolia | hmm... anyone else notice a problem with firefox crashing a lot with flash videos after the last set of updates to 8.04? | 22:32 |
| nsahoo | MaT-dg: does the processor do it automatically? | 22:32 |
| lstarnes | kevdog: blowfish is a symmetric algorithm. It uses the same key for encryption and decryption. | 22:32 |
| spence | oh, well you need to reinstate the master boot record for Windows on the HDD | 22:33 |
| spence | not sure how you do that, it's on the very inner part of the HDD i believe | 22:33 |
| mzz | just in case this is a frequently asked question: how do I get myself a dm-snapshot module? | 22:33 |
| kevdog | lstarnes: isnt DH asymmetric? | 22:33 |
| MaT-dg | nsahoo: I dunno what exactly controls it but it happens alot in modern machines and yes it's automatic :) | 22:33 |
| lstarnes | kevdog: DH is used for securely generating a one-time-use key for a symmetric algorithm like blowfish | 22:33 |
| nsahoo | MaT-dg: hmm, thankx | 22:33 |
| Switch10 | spence: I think u need the windows cd | 22:33 |
| MaT-dg | nsahoo: try doing something CPU intensive and see whta that gives | 22:33 |
| kevdog | lstarnes: so DH then just generates the password for the encryption/decryption | 22:33 |
| Switch10 | To get the mbr back | 22:34 |
| luk123 | spence, oh well. so would it work if i reinstall grub on the windows partition? i can boot with ubuntu cd. but i dont know how to do that either | 22:34 |
| mzz | spence: I don't know how to do this from inside windows, but I'm pretty sure the "repair" option of a windows install cd can rewrite the mbr for you. | 22:34 |

| fwaokda | spence, you install the ati drivers for it yet? | 22:34 |
| luk123 | and i dont have a windows cd on my hands, wouldnt want to wait to get one | 22:34 |
| lstarnes | kevdog: it generates a key, not a password. It does work in a way that the key can only be known to the two ends of the connection and not anyone in between | 22:34 |
| Switch10 | spence: ur on 9.04? | 22:34 |

| spence | Switch10: i can't remember, what's the console command to check? | 22:35 |
| lstarnes | kevdog: it's not a vpn. It involves complex mathematics | 22:36 |
| mzz | nsahoo: skype's probably doable (there's a linux version, I haven't looked for an ubuntu repo yet) | 22:36 |

| lyra | the boot command line, put no=acpi at the end | 22:43 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: Yep, I see all that. | 22:43 |
| lstarnes | norgo: unless you intentionally send bad ARP packets, that's very unlikely | 22:43 |
| kevdog | lstarnes: Very interesting: Thanks for the DH read -- cools | 22:43 |
| tentencorp | lyra isnt ACPI a disered operation ? its useful for power? | 22:44 |
| lyra | tentencorp, that is right | 22:44 |
| lyra | but you cant install with it can you | 22:44 |
| lyra | youll have to install without | 22:44 |
| norgo | lstarnes, what would that mean? I am only using cain or ettercap + wireshark | 22:44 |
| lyra | or, find a distro version that works with your processor | 22:44 |
| tentencorp | lyra, yes thts right? can i turn it back ON later? | 22:44 |
| tentencorp | its not a processor, its a BIOS issue. | 22:44 |
| lstarnes | norgo: I don't think any of those are likely to cause ARP issues | 22:45 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: okay now we can fill in those things in the manual IP config | 22:45 |
| lyra | tentencorp, i have no diea. | 22:45 |

| Andorin | MaT-dg: Okay, I'll do that. | 22:45 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: Address is the IP Address (the last number can be different though, you can choose one that isn't already taken on the network | 22:46 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: What do I put for gateway? | 22:46 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: Netmask is the Subnet Mask | 22:46 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: gateway is the Default Route | 22:46 |
| norgo | lstarnes: thanks. so it's pretty safe. | 22:46 |

| jlaroche | hello. I am running Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.04) on an eee 1000HE. I tried installing eeepc-acpi-utilities (as per the instructions on this website --> http://www.statux.org/content?page=catalog&catagory=1&product=eeepc-acpi ) and found that it didn't load anything / didn't do anything. I ran "sudo apt-get purge eeepc-acpi-utilities" and now my UNR GUI runs like molasses - complete utter garbage, and my "Visual Effects" (in Preference | 22:54 |
| jlaroche | s --> Appearances) is broken (set to none, and if i try to turn it on it says I can't). Any help would be appreciated - getting utterly enraged with how any tiny thing constantly breaks my linux systems... | 22:54 |

| MaT-dg | Switch10: yes, here's the page http://blueman-project.org | 22:55 |
| Switch10 | Do a google search for alternate bluetooth manager. And uninstall bluez | 22:55 |

| OttifantSir | I have successfully, for the first time ever, enabled some Compiz-settings, and together with AWN, Screenlets and Desktop Drapes, I almost couldn't be happier. Only one thing I wonder about: IS there any other GUI-apps for taking screenshots? I'm not very fond of the Gnome one. I am not taking a poll, just asking if there are any others. (And mobi-sheep, I am quite sure GIMP is overkill too;-)) | 22:58 |
| Hilikus | laeg: try logging out and in. just in case something is locking it | 22:58 |
| K99Brain | jlaroche, reinstall that package, no? | 22:58 |

| MaT-dg | laeg: jaunty and blueman | 22:58 |
| K99Brain | jlaroche, try sudo dpkg --configure -a | 22:59 |
| Arney | How can I increase the buffer in FFMpeg? would that fix it? | 22:59 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: Wait, it gives me a connection if I use the new connection, but not the old one. | 22:59 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: okay, can u give me the output of ifconfig? | 22:59 |
| jlaroche | K99Brain - just that command by itself? | 22:59 |
| K99Brain | jlaroche, yes | 22:59 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: One sec. | 23:00 |
| OttifantSir | Arney: I believe you have to set -minbuf and -maxbuf arguments. If you download WinFF and see their command-lines for transcoding media, you will see what I mean. | 23:00 |

| f00dn00b | compatible with what? | 23:02 |

| insulina | hello i am trying to run ubunto-rescue-remix, on but is trying to read from my sata corrupted disc and displaying a lot of errors , is this normal ? | 23:02 |
| Arney | f00dn00b: when compatible isn't enough, switch to Windows 7. Or use a VM (Recommended) | 23:02 |
| Switch10 | f00dn00b: ms docs | 23:02 |
| K99Brain | jlaroche, i think that uninstalling that package has removed some other (like a dependence), but i don't know which.. | 23:02 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | i got a question im new to ubuntu and linux and my sound doesnt work | 23:03 |
| jlaroche | K99Brain - thats what I think | 23:03 |
| Armychimp | I just installed Netbook remix on my acer A150 and everything runs ok but the mouse is very jerky, any suggestions? | 23:03 |
| jlaroche | K99Brain - I am really pissed right now | 23:03 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: so that is the static config and is not working? | 23:03 |
| jlaroche | K99Brain - how could one figure out what packages it removed? | 23:03 |
| K99Brain | jlaroche, maybe the simplier thing to do is reinstalling | 23:03 |
| f00dn00b | what is a vm? | 23:03 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: When I connect through the new connection, that we just made, it gives me access. | 23:03 |
| JoeM | what works best on 8.10 64 bit (preferably multi-threaded), prime95/folding/seti? | 23:03 |
| Switch10 | K99Brain: what soundcard do you have? | 23:03 |
| OttifantSir | !vm | 23:03 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 23:03 |
| Arney | Virtual Machine... | 23:03 |
| K99Brain | Switch10? | 23:04 |
| Switch10 | Sorry dude | 23:04 |
| f00dn00b | ok | 23:04 |
| a514 | If i leave this irc on will it fill up the memory and crash at 56k? | 23:04 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: then there is no problem anymore? | 23:04 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | when i click on my sound it comes up with this The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 23:04 |
| jlaroche | K99Brain - god I am tired of this. I have so many tweaks on this laptop. Reinstalling would be a 15 hour fiasco | 23:04 |
| f00dn00b | can i still run all my games and photos in a vm? | 23:04 |
| jlaroche | K99Brain - and the sad thing is I was about to backup this laptop today | 23:04 |
| Arney | photos yes, Crisis no. | 23:04 |
| f00dn00b | crisis? | 23:05 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: Well.... I'm not sure. The big issue behind all this has been port forwarding. I guess I get to test that now. | 23:05 |
| f00dn00b | whats that? | 23:05 |
| Out_Cold | jlaroche, i feel ya bud.. my re-install has taken me 2 days so far.. | 23:05 |

| tentencorp | so many errosz | 23:06 |
| Arney | no, it will run windows like a normal app, you can even use unity and run the windows of the guest operating system as if they were running on the host. its awesome. | 23:06 |
| Andorin | !giver | anom01y | 23:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about giver | 23:06 |
| Switch10 | Jonathan[UBUNTU8: right click on the sound thing and go to volume controls and make sure all the sliders are up | 23:06 |
| OttifantSir | f00dn00b: Not the latest games, and if you played games on Windows that stretched your hardware capabilities to the limits, they probably won't run in a VM as it has to use less resources to leave some for the Host OS. | 23:06 |
| Andorin | anom01y: sudo apt-get install giver | 23:07 |
| f00dn00b | ok | 23:07 |

| jonex_ | when I play Totem ....it crash the OS and log off | 23:07 |
| f00dn00b | would i install it or plug it into my pc? | 23:07 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | its a Digital Audo G4 PowerMac Tower | 23:08 |
| OttifantSir | jlaroche: I haven't used a netbook with Ubuntu, so not sure if this really helps you, but the way I got Desktop Effects back was by enabling MetaCity's compoziting feature, let it start, then disable it, and let it stop. After that I could use Desktop Effects. | 23:08 |
| Arney | depends, a some of them are free, just use the synaptic package manager | 23:08 |

| MaT-dg | Andorin: well, a static IP and port forwarding are not related very much, when you fill in the correct IP in the router it works whether the IP is static or dynamic | 23:10 |
| f00dn00b | ok, where do i get that? would i be able to find it on the internet or in a shop | 23:10 |
| OttifantSir | f00dn00b: You can get one for free from www.virtualbox.org, or search Synaptic for virtualbox-ose. The latter doesn't have USB-support, the one from the website does. | 23:10 |
| tentencorp | cant no body help me :( | 23:10 |
| laeg | f00dn00b: it would be much easier to just use open office | 23:10 |
| Switch10 | f00dn00b: search google | 23:10 |
| jlaroche | ottifantSir - the crappy thing is I don't even know if its the desktop effects being off that is making the UNR GUI slow as garbage. I am just guessing because they are off (and wont turn on) and I would imagine this should not be the case... | 23:10 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: what application needs the forwarding? | 23:10 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: Deluge. | 23:10 |

| OttifantSir | jlaroche: No, they shouldn't be turned off AND unable to turn on again. Do you want to try the easiest and most newbie way to MAYBE get them to work again? | 23:11 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | nope | 23:11 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | it doesnt have any drivers installed | 23:11 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | lol | 23:11 |
| f00dn00b | would i also be able to run my linux ubuntu programs in my vm? | 23:11 |
| Switch10 | Macs are funny | 23:11 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | yea sometimes | 23:11 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | unless u have a intel mac | 23:12 |
| jlaroche | sure | 23:12 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: sec I'll install it to know what I'm talking about ^^ | 23:12 |
| Switch10 | f00dn00b: no defeats the purpose | 23:12 |
| kongming | Hello Ubuntu, anyone here do youtube videos, and/or blogtv broadcasts | 23:12 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | intel macs are just like pc's besides their lack of viruses and stability lol | 23:12 |
| f00dn00b | then what is the purpose? | 23:12 |
| laeg | how do i undo 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server'? replacing install with uninstall doesn't work and i've tried to apt-get unisntall it also.. | 23:12 |
| f00dn00b | will i lose the ability to run linux ubuntu programs altogether? or will there still be a way of running them? | 23:12 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: The trouble was that my torrents wouldn't seed much at all. Now they ARE seeding, but Deluge still reports the port as being closed. Perhaps I ought to leave it alone now that it's working again. | 23:12 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | so switch i guess ill have to look for the driver online for my specific mac? | 23:12 |
| Switch10 | f00dn00b: to run a windows or other os inside of your current os | 23:12 |
| === tommy is now known as Guest13922 | ||
| f00dn00b | oh | 23:13 |
| f00dn00b | ok | 23:13 |
| Arney | f00dn00b: you can if you install ubuntu inside the VM, so you would be running 2 ubuntu's... | 23:13 |
| Switch10 | Jonathan[UBUNTU8: yup sorry man | 23:13 |
| f00dn00b | i heard about a thing called wine for running windows with linux ubuntu, is that a vm? | 23:13 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | its ok im going to by a new mac soon its intel so i can run ubuntu with bootcamp and its so much more stable | 23:13 |
| Switch10 | f00dn00b: no | 23:13 |
| mcr_ | f00dn00b no | 23:13 |
| Jonathan[UBUNTU8 | thanks Swtich10 | 23:13 |
| f00dn00b | then what is it? | 23:13 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: in deluge, do u have random ports disabled? | 23:14 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: Yes, I have it set to use one specific port, which should be opened according to my router. | 23:14 |
| mcr_ | f00dn00b it is a capatability layer meaning a lot (but not all) windows programs run natively in Ubuntu | 23:14 |
| kevdog | what vm is best in Ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| f00dn00b | capatability layer? how does that work? | 23:14 |
| mcr_ | kevdog: I like Virtualbox | 23:14 |
| Switch10 | f00dn00b: it's an actual os that boots,runs, and shutsdown inside of your current os | 23:14 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: ok, is it a high number like somewhere above 40 000 ? | 23:14 |
| Arney | kevdog: good question | 23:15 |
| f00dn00b | oh | 23:15 |
| OttifantSir | f00dn00b: A Virtual Machine is like a computer running inside a computer. If you install Ubuntu as Host, and a VM-manager, then Windows inside a VM, Windows will think it's running alone on the computer, even if it's running as a Guest of Ubuntu. This means also that if there are devices that don't work in Host, they won't work in Guest either, as the Host is what "donates" the machine to the guest. Ubuntu will run all the time, but a Windows-VM will | 23:15 |
| Switch10 | I like virtual box as well | 23:15 |
| kevdog | Is the quality of the VM's have anything to do with underlying hardware? There are a few VMs available. | 23:15 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: Yeah, it's 58552. On my router I have 55001-62999 set to open for the address of this computer. | 23:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | is there a command to find out if certain version of a package are installed i.e. libaiksausus? | 23:15 |
| tentencorp | can anybody help me, im having trouble installing ubuntu, i was advised to turn of ACPI in my bios but now its even worse... help ? | 23:15 |
| f00dn00b | so would i be able to run microsoft word in wine then? | 23:15 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: isn't that port range triggering? | 23:16 |
| kevdog | 2 virtual box fans here | 23:16 |
| mcr_ | tentencorp: Have you tried the alternative install CD? | 23:16 |
| firas | heyy guys .. i keep getting this message when i try to install anything on my laptop End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not | 23:16 |

| Switch10 | f00dn00b: yup | 23:16 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: I don't know anything about port triggering. I have it set, on my router, under Port Range Forward. | 23:16 |
| f00dn00b | oh good - thanks! | 23:16 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: there's no need to set so many ports open since u configured only one | 23:16 |
| tentencorp | its not only in ubuntu its in all linux installations.. same thing happens... | 23:16 |
| ics | hi | 23:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | is there a command to find out if certain version of a package are installed i.e. libaiksausus? | 23:17 |
| jlaroche | ottifantSir - easiest way? | 23:17 |
| f00dn00b | if i type exclamation mark then a word, will messenger tell me what it means? | 23:17 |
| f00dn00b | like !wine? | 23:17 |
| firas | hwo di i fix this thing | 23:17 |
| mcr_ | tentencorp: Its another Ubuntu CD to download i am afraid and i have had better luck with it getting it to work on computers that are 'fussy' about the live CD | 23:17 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: ah port range forward, the name can be a little different on each router but it's the same :) What u need is port forwarding | 23:17 |
| Switch10 | Messenger?? | 23:17 |
| f00dn00b | yes | 23:17 |
| tentencorp | its not a live CD. its 64 bit installation | 23:17 |
| laeg | how do i undo 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server'? replacing install with uninstall doesn't work and i've tried to apt-get unisntall it also.. | 23:17 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: you should find it somewhere close to port range forwarding | 23:18 |
| mcr_ | tentencorp: get the 64bit alternative install CD | 23:18 |
| kevdog | is lamp-server a package? | 23:18 |
| f00dn00b | !wine | 23:18 |

| lstarnes | kevdog: it's a task | 23:18 |
| f00dn00b | wow! | 23:18 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: I have Port Range Forward, Port Triggering, DMZ and QoS. | 23:18 |

| Andorin | MaT-dg: My modem is in DMZ so I don't think I want to set my router to it unless I have to.. | 23:19 |
| f00dn00b | thanks ubottu! | 23:19 |

| MaT-dg | Andorin: Port Triggering should be it | 23:19 |

(I don't remember now if you have to save, wait for flicker and restart and uncheck and wait for flicker again, and can't check since I run Compiz) Anyway, that's how I enabled Desktop Effects. | 23:19 |

| deman | that could be what I'm looking for | 23:33 |
| tentencorp | Does ubuntu support ACPI 2.0 ? because i need to turn it on, because I get ACPI errors when i try to install ubuntu | 23:33 |
| mzz | tentencorp: what errors? | 23:33 |
| igsen | i'm xubuntu user. I want to know how to remove gnome-volume-control(app>>multimedia>>volume control).Please... | 23:33 |
| youseenothing_ | tentencorp: my understanding is there is "some" support for acpi 2.0 | 23:34 |
| === khisanth__ is now known as Khisanth | ||
| laeg | lstarnes: sudo taskel remove lamp-server seems to have done it ty | 23:34 |
| mzz | tentencorp: quick google tells me the spec for acpi 2.0 is from 2000, so it's probably at least partially implemented by now. What's your actual problem? | 23:34 |
| Switch10 | moymoy: thanks. Did u see that d? | 23:34 |
| laeg | Switch10: what would purge have done exactly? | 23:34 |
| Out_Cold | igsen, sudo apt-get remove gnome-volume-control | 23:34 |
| tonii | Out_Cold: you can dual boot from the hdd, no? :) | 23:34 |
| deman | Switch10, Yeah, it just listed dev/ 0 etc | 23:34 |
| tentencorp | i already told u the errors!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys told me to turn off power save thingy, so i did and then i got more errors, so i want to turn on ACPI 2.0 | 23:34 |
| deman | Switch10, Not really what I was looking for | 23:35 |
| Krenari | How to create a user account in ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| Out_Cold | tonii, but because of the implications of the type of OS, i want it easily removable... | 23:35 |
| mzz | tentencorp: I don't see the errors in my backlog. All I see is "ACPI errors". | 23:35 |
| youseenothing_ | tentencorp: if you are already getting errors, what damage can it do to turn it on? | 23:35 |
| tentencorp | before that | 23:35 |
| Out_Cold | tonii, and encrypted lol | 23:35 |
| mzz | tentencorp: can you pastebin them? | 23:35 |
| tentencorp | i dont like to play around with bios settings all the time, its a affliction to my brain cells, it causes them to worry. | 23:35 |
| Krenari | help ! | 23:35 |
| igsen | Out_cold, thanks i'll try that. | 23:35 |
| Out_Cold | !ask Krenari | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask Krenari | 23:36 |
| Out_Cold | oops.. | 23:36 |
| lstarnes | !adduser | Krenari | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Krenari: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 23:36 |
| Out_Cold | !ask | Krenari | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Krenari: 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. :-) | 23:36 |
| deman | I guess I could try FFADO | 23:36 |
| deman | it's worth a shot | 23:36 |
| tonii | Out_Cold: Aha. :) Guess you can solve it in some way. I wonder if it's possible to make "ramdrives" in linux as it is in windows, then you could make the mountpoints in the ram (if you have enough), and the OS would be faaaast. Though saving settings might be tough :D | 23:38 |
| Out_Cold | tonii, i was reading that you can do that... but alas nl 1 gb ram | 23:38 |
| Out_Cold | **only | 23:38 |
| syslq78 | What is the advantage of having ubuntu's package vs just installing the newest firefox or vlc available like on windows? | 23:38 |
| tonii | Out_Cold: ah, to bad. | 23:38 |
| lstarnes | syslq78: mainly stability | 23:39 |
| deman | syslq78, it's easy to get | 23:39 |
| Out_Cold | syslq78, ubuntu has tested those packages on the system | 23:39 |
| minimec | syslq78: Automatic updates via the ubuntu package system gor example ;) | 23:39 |
| legend2440 | tentencorp: is this a laptop? | 23:39 |
| igsen | Out_Cold, E: Couldn't find package gnome-volume-control<<---I'm getting this error | 23:39 |
| syslq78 | So basically I get garanteed stability + heavyly patched packages and get to be a month behind or something, hmm, I can live with that | 23:40 |
| kiosk | dan | 23:40 |
| Out_Cold | igsen, then it has another name bud | 23:40 |
| syslq78 | But that's enterprise logic :) | 23:40 |
| Out_Cold | syslq78, if you want cutting edge learn gcc and build your own stuff... but beware of broken systems | 23:40 |
| fwaokda | how do i get my checkgmail to open when ubuntu starts up? | 23:41 |
| f00dn00b | i'm thinking about dropping linux ubuntu and going back to windows vista so i can run microsoft word and games - is this a good or bad idea? | 23:41 |
| minimec | syslq78: The final version of firefox-3.5 was available in the jaunty repo 1-2 days after launch. That's ok, I guess. | 23:41 |
| tentencorp | f00dn00b its a good idea | 23:41 |
| f00dn00b | !ff3.5 | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 23:41 |
| igsen | Out_Cold, any idea? I got this when i APT-get ubuntu-core. | 23:41 |
| legend2440 | tentencorp: is this a laptop? | 23:41 |
| tentencorp | you get what you pay for man f00dn00b get windows | 23:41 |
| syslq78 | minimec, heh, I havent even checked I waited to be presented to me on silver plate via system update. | 23:41 |
| Out_Cold | i wonder if i upgrade my distro to 9.04 if it will break or not.. | 23:41 |
| lstarnes | f00dn00b: you could probably install that in a virtual machine | 23:41 |
| tentencorp | its a desktop PC i built myself | 23:41 |
| mzz | syslq78: they shouldn't exactly be *heavily* patched most of the time. | 23:42 |
| lstarnes | tentencorp: not always. I personally prefer linux over windows, but for many people windows is better | 23:42 |
| legend2440 | tentencorp: what motherboard? | 23:42 |
| f00dn00b | ok | 23:42 |
| tentencorp | ASUS M3A | 23:42 |
| syslq78 | Out_Cold, I know how to install from source, I have used slackware from 99' to 2002 and than shifted to xp and now I'm back on linux | 23:42 |
| Out_Cold | igsen, when you what???? the command is apt-get install/remove packagename | 23:42 |
| deman | f00dn00b, And why doesn't Open Office work you you? | 23:42 |
| f00dn00b | its just i heard linux ubuntu was better than windows | 23:42 |
| syslq78 | Out_Cold, it's way easyer now | 23:42 |
| mzz | syslq78: also, my personal main reason for not installing by hand is that I get consistent updates and the ability to uninstall through the package manager | 23:42 |
| minimec | syslq78: firefox-3.5 has to be installed seperatly, as the official firefox version of jaunty is still firefox-3.0 | 23:42 |
| igsen | Out_Cold, I used synaptic for that. | 23:43 |
| Out_Cold | no kidding syslq78 and with deb packages.. it's freakin awesome for noobs and lazy people | 23:43 |
| tentencorp | legend24440 its ASUS M3a | 23:43 |
| syslq78 | minimec, aha, thanks, guys I think I understand | 23:43 |
| syslq78 | Out_Cold, I'm lazy at least | 23:43 |
| deman | syslq78, the ubtunu repos are outdated for many games as well, such as Wesnoth | 23:43 |
| deman | because they update once every month or so | 23:43 |
| syslq78 | Hat off to debian + ubuntu developers, ubuntu was easyer to install and use than windows. Although it's hard to believe. | 23:44 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: I don't get the damn thing to work... I'll have to guess then | 23:44 |
| f00dn00b | i think i'll probably wait and come back to linux ubuntu once its matured a little | 23:44 |
| Out_Cold | syslq78, try doing an encrypted lvm install manually :p | 23:45 |
| deman | f00dn00b, this is it's 10th version | 23:45 |
| f00dn00b | lack of exe support has been a real letdown to an otherwise impressive os... | 23:45 |
| deman | f00dn00b, this is MUCH more matured then the 1st one | 23:45 |
| Out_Cold | f00dn00b, have you tried wine? | 23:45 |
| lstarnes | f00dn00b: you could try running windows executables using wine | 23:45 |
| jrib | f00dn00b: linux is not windows | 23:45 |
| mcr_ | f00dn00b thats like saying i love this porche, but the fact it dont take ford parts is an issue | 23:45 |
| f00dn00b | ive checked on the internet and i haven't seen very good reviews about wine | 23:45 |
| syslq78 | Out_Cold :), no thakns | 23:46 |
| murcherson | use windows dude | 23:46 |
| deman | f00dn00b, It's more of a app by app thing | 23:46 |
| Out_Cold | like trying to run a 67 chev off of jet fuel... | 23:46 |
| mcr_ | f00dn00b: wine is free, try it :) | 23:46 |
| linoge | which are the default permissions for /tmp ? | 23:46 |
| epicreviews | what's the terminal command for the Compiz config? | 23:46 |
| deman | sudo compiz-config on my machine | 23:46 |
| MaT-dg | f00dn00b: ubuntu doesn't have lack of .exe support but a lack of support for windows exectutables.. just like windows can't run ubuntu exectuables | 23:46 |
| Out_Cold | linoge, type in terminal ls -la /tmp | 23:46 |
| igsen | Out_Cold, I have both "Mixer" & "Volume control" on my App>>Multimedia menu.Obviously a duplicate. | 23:46 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: What are you trying to determine? Where I open ports on this router? | 23:47 |
| linoge | Out_Cold: thats the prob, i changed them | 23:47 |
| Out_Cold | igsen, remove it from synaptic package manager and look for one or the other | 23:47 |
| VCoolio | epicreviews: compiz-manager for me, try typing compiz and hit tab twice | 23:47 |
| epicreviews | it's not compiz-config, it's longer than that | 23:47 |
| deman | I think I have a slightly old version, for fear of breaking X | 23:47 |
| ge2x | I just installed nvidia restricted drivers on 9.04, but my resolution is too low and I cannot set it to a higher | 23:47 |
| deman | which has happened to me before | 23:48 |
| legend2440 | tentencorp: read this especially post #7. i would reenable acpi if i were you. are you trying to install the ubuntu 64 or 32? | 23:48 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: oh wait, I got it... full reset xD now.. what's the default user pass on a linksys router? | 23:48 |
| Out_Cold | linoge, my tmp is drwxrwxrwt 12 root root | 23:48 |
| Out_Cold | so 777 | 23:48 |

| deman | Would anyone reccomend install firewire windows drivers with wine? Or is that just not going to work | 23:48 |
| deman | epicreviews, do you have a gui? | 23:48 |
| glitsj16 | epicreviews: are you refering to compizconfig-settings-manager perhaps? that starts with "ccsm" | 23:49 |
| igsen | Out_Cold, I've already did that, can't find both(?). | 23:49 |
| mcr_ | try ccsm | 23:49 |
| ge2x | I just installed nvidia restricted drivers on 9.04, but my resolution is too low and I cannot set it to a higher | 23:49 |
| f00dn00b | ok, ive checked the wine website for school days and apparently i have to install loads of extra junk to get it running | 23:49 |
| linoge | ok, Out_Cold thanks | 23:49 |
| Out_Cold | epicreviews, compiz-settings-manager | 23:49 |
| f00dn00b | i don't think its worth it | 23:49 |

| f00dn00b | school days, by 0verflow | 23:50 |
| epicreviews | ok it's just ccsm :) thanks | 23:50 |
| jrib | f00dn00b: no you don't. You install wine the same way you install all other software on ubuntu: use APT (add/remove programs or Synaptic in your menus) | 23:50 |
| f00dn00b | jruu | 23:50 |

| mcr_ | f00dn00b i run a number of windows apps using wine, uTorrent, Clrmamepro, World of Warcraft | 23:51 |
| Out_Cold | jonex_, use vlc.... i never have problems with vlc | 23:51 |
| f00dn00b | jrib: once ive installed wine i need to set up wmp and msxml4 to get it running, then install the japanese locales | 23:51 |
| usr13 | f00dn00b: "School Days" It's a game? | 23:51 |

| jrib | f00dn00b: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9404 says you can use winetricks, which makes it trivial | 23:53 |
| jonex_ | I lost my 3D effects i cant use totem | 23:53 |
| f00dn00b | winetricks? | 23:53 |
| f00dn00b | lol not another thing i have to install? | 23:53 |
| syslq78 | ge2x, the thing mcr_ said, nvida driver has it's own fine tunning applet | 23:53 |
| syslq78 | ge2x I mean nvidia provides it's own fine tunning applet for the driver :) | 23:53 |
| ge2x | I think the monitor detection is screwed up | 23:53 |
| f00dn00b | im starting to wish id stayed with windows vista now! | 23:53 |
| Andorin | MaT-dg: Where is that under? | 23:53 |
| shwouchk | what's the command which lists what linkage a certain exec is looking for? | 23:53 |
| Out_Cold | f00dn00b, once you get used to the basics of linux, you'll wonder why you didn't jump ship years ago | 23:54 |
| usr13 | f00dn00b: What do you think of the games that are native to linux? Which of those do you like? | 23:54 |
| jrib | f00dn00b: you are trying to run software not developed for ubuntu. It won't be as easy as installing native software. If you must use mostly windows apps for some reason then there isn't much use in using linux | 23:54 |
| MaT-dg | Andorin: like in the screenshot under apllications and gaming | 23:54 |

| glitsj16 | safruhani: there's a nice overview on how to install/configure/run mpd at http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/MPD_INSTALL_USER_SERVICE_UBUNTU that might help | 23:55 |
| syslq78 | f00dn00b, what is your setup? | 23:56 |
| hornets | anyone? | 23:56 |
| jrib | f00dn00b: I take it you did not tell the installer to setup a dual-boot? | 23:56 |
| Out_Cold | f00dn00b, linux is not for the faint of heart, the hard core gamer, or the proprietary software user | 23:56 |

| jrib | Pirate_Hunter: you can use screen I guess | 23:56 |
| f00dn00b | jrib: no - i heard dualbooting makes your computer slow | 23:56 |

| jrib | f00dn00b: you are misinformed | 23:56 |
| Out_Cold | f00dn00b, nonsense | 23:56 |
| mcr_ | f00dn00b it does not | 23:56 |

| OttifantSir | f00dn00b: School Days was tested on Wine 1.1.7. I have Wine 1.1.25 installed. Between the testing of School Days and now, there have been a lot of fixes for Wine, so chances are, it will probably run better now than when tested. This is not guaranteed, but it's rather likely. So try WINE first, install School Days, then see if your experience is better. If it is, then submit it to the Appdb at winehq. | 23:57 |

| syslq78 | Out_Cold, not really true man, it was running about the same for me, | 23:57 |
