| Keranu | I think when I install it to the MBR, my computer still boots straight up into WinXP | 00:34 |

| gogeta | bucky: essid isnt cap | 00:36 |
| matt098 | hay, any one here messed with raid arrays before??? and that i could possibly get some advice from ??? | 00:36 |

| VCoolio | Klowny: lot of gtk2 also have window borders with metacity and some of the themes have everything; also check this: http://francois.vogelweith.com/?lang=en | 00:38 |
| Keranu | I was thinking the problem lied somewhere with that because when I go to install Ubuntu, it lists my SATA drive (not primary) first | 00:38 |
| matt098 | is the hdd formatted? | 00:38 |
| y7deluxe | yes | 00:38 |

| Socah | you should have a possibility to install grub on for example hda | 00:42 |
| Keranu | The problem is that even though Grub lists XP, it won't boot it and says Error 21: Can't Find Selected Disk (or something like that) | 00:42 |

| Keranu | Well I thought it was set to boot off my IDE drive that WinXP is installed on, but I'm going to try installing it on my SATA drive next | 00:44 |

| Reitz | does anyone here know how to compress a 1.3GB file to fit on a 708mb disc? | 00:44 |
| matt098 | in the bios | 00:44 |
| koshari | Keranu some bios will cascade through the haed drives untill they find one with a boot record, | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | Reitz: tar.gz will probably do it, depending on the type of file | 00:45 |
| Reitz | ok | 00:45 |
| Reitz | well its a copy of xp pro | 00:45 |
| Reitz | how do i do that then? | 00:45 |

| Madpilot | xiofire, did you run the 'check this CD' util on the install CD? one of the menu options early in the install process | 01:24 |

| Andorin | Reitz: Well, they heavily encrypted the firmware on their Nanos, making it basically impossible to run alternate firmware, which means you have to use the handful of file formats that Apple's firmware supports. Can't use FLAC or ogg or anything free. | 01:50 |

| Madpilot | xiofire, odd. not sure what to suggest, aside from "try a cold reboot & restart the whole install", which is the brute-force option... | 01:54 |
| edbian | xiofire: Sorry to interrupt but what is the issue? | 01:54 |
| Paddy_NI | xorso: are you still able to boot the previous OS? | 01:54 |
| twig11 | gogeta: you out of options? | 01:54 |

Or would that not work with a cylindrical cube? | 01:59 |
| gogeta | twig11: well you knoe the command to do next lol | 01:59 |
| adam7 | xiofire: so when the install finishes, install the openssh-server package and you're all set | 02:00 |

| OttifantSir | Xubuntnoob: It isn't the repos, and I don't remember where I found the info on it at the moment. Wait while I look, will you? | 02:07 |

| youseenothing_ | Andorin: sudo adduser <username> | 02:26 |
| ibbie | youseenothing_, OttifantSir: thank you. I have software that wants to be free, but am not part of any organization. I wanted to release it under BSD license, but the template has a section for organizations. | 02:26 |

| youseenothing_ | twig11: so try this, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep Hof | 02:27 |
| ndf | my live install usb key used to launch into a menu with more options along the bottom (f1 - f6); if you press escape there it would go to a simplified menu without those options, now for some reason it loads straight into the simplified one? also since then i haven't been able to start the live setup or the install - it stops and the caps lock flashes - removing 'quiet splash --' from boot option | 02:27 |
| ndf | does nothing | 02:27 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: just for the sake of making sure it sees the ap | 02:27 |
| gogeta | twig11: qwicd might have changed the auth modes for keys messing things up | 02:27 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: just Hof? | 02:27 |

| youseenothing_ | twig11: does that command return it? | 02:29 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: the ESSID shows up. | 02:29 |
| adam7 | gogeta: so can't you just run that command now? | 02:29 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: ok, do this: iwlist wlan0 scan | 02:29 |
| gogeta | adam7: nope it will not accept the ssid | 02:29 |
| adam7 | gogeta: what do you mean? | 02:29 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: look to make sure that the encryption shows as on and check the channel as well | 02:29 |
| adam7 | exact errors are good | 02:29 |
| gogeta | adam7: iwconfig wlan0 essid "ssid" | 02:29 |
| gogeta | adam7: it will still show as off/any | 02:30 |
| adam7 | gogeta: and what's the error? | 02:30 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: iwconfig? | 02:30 |
| adam7 | gogeta: using encryption? | 02:30 |
| onats1 | hello | 02:30 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: no the command itself | 02:30 |
| gogeta | adam7: wep yes it worked untillk he removed wicd | 02:30 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 02:30 |
| matt__ | Any idea how to install libSDL-1.3.so.0 ? It says it is not found when i apt-get install it. can anyone find out anything about it? | 02:30 |
| onats1 | how do i setup openvpn on ubuntu so that it automatically connects upon boot up, and retries connections when it gets disconnected? | 02:30 |
| thansom | arg | 02:30 |
| adam7 | gogeta: so why did you remove wicd then? | 02:30 |
| Andorin | Dr_Willis: Nope. | 02:30 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: look at your ap's information and you should see something for encryption: on/off and channel | 02:31 |
| gogeta | adam7: i didnt twig did | 02:31 |
| gogeta | adam7: it froze his pc i guess | 02:31 |
| adam7 | gogeta: so did twig11 start wpa_supplicant? | 02:31 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: encryption is on and channel is 6 | 02:31 |
| gogeta | twig11: goo into your roughter turn off the key for now i think the auths messed up | 02:31 |
| youseenothing_ | adam7: he doesn't need wpa_supplicant...he is using wep | 02:31 |
| adam7 | can I see your wpa_supplicant.conf? | 02:32 |
| adam7 | ok, I guess you don't | 02:32 |
| adam7 | you can use it though if you want | 02:32 |

| Socah | hypoon: It was Fedora + Ubuntu (both amd64) + Arch i686 | 02:32 |
| twig11 | gogeta: is that possible when I'm connected over the same network to the same router with the computer I'm chatting on now? | 02:32 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: do this then: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "name" && sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 6 && sudo iwconfig wlan0 key <yourKey> | 02:32 |
| adam7 | gogeta/ twig11: did you read teh iwconfig man page about the key command? | 02:33 |
| gogeta | twig11: you will have to reconnect to it as open | 02:33 |
| adam7 | gogeta/ twig11: also, you should use WPA2, as WEP is very easy to break | 02:33 |
| gogeta | adam7: i knoe the keey command thats not the problem i tryed every key methed | 02:33 |
| adam7 | I'd suggest you try using wpa_supplicant | 02:33 |
| gogeta | adam7: for now hes going to have to use none | 02:33 |
| Shady | net.net | 02:34 |
| twig11 | gogeta: what do you mean connect to it as open? | 02:34 |
| Socah | hypoon: It's very nice, if you want to introduce GNU/Linux to someone. Or have system with persistent home on your pendrive. Pendrives are much better than cd's for live pruposes | 02:34 |
| ibbie | holy cow, nevermind. I just downloaded libevent and saw how they handled it. Doh, I feel silly now. (: | 02:34 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: did you try that command line i gave you? | 02:34 |
| gogeta | twig11: if you remove the key you will have to reconnect | 02:34 |
| ibbie | brb | 02:34 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: not yet | 02:34 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: go ahead and try that | 02:34 |

| adilvalentim43 | hello room | 02:36 |
| gogeta | youseenothing <yourkey> isnt it "k" | 02:37 |
| tsrk | adam7, it's a canon printer driver that i downloaded from the canon website | 02:37 |
| hypoon | Socah: do you remember how you resolved my issue? | 02:37 |
| tsrk | adam7, there's only 32-bit deb packages | 02:37 |
| adam7 | tsrk: your printer doesn't work when you just plug it in? | 02:37 |
| ahuron | hi | 02:37 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta: doesn't have to be...only if it has spaces in it | 02:37 |

| tsrk | adam7, no, i need these packages | 02:37 |
| gogeta | no <i hope | 02:37 |

| adam7 | tsrk: hm, that's irritating | 02:38 |
| twig11 | gogeta: youseenothing_ : it still didn't associate. | 02:38 |
| tsrk | adam7, i thought there was a way to run 32-bit packages? | 02:38 |

| youseenothing_ | twig11: he is talking about taking the encryption off | 02:38 |
| adilvalentim43 | fine | 02:38 |
| adam7 | tsrk: it really depends | 02:38 |
| Andorin | Will someone please help? Deluge freezes when I start it. | 02:39 |
| tsrk | adam7, ok, on what? | 02:39 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: Linksys WUSB11v4 usb network adapter | 02:39 |
| Andorin | ALL I did was remove files from my Downloads folder and suddenly it doesn't work. I don't get it! | 02:39 |
| adam7 | tsrk: on the package. I'm just guessing, but it's unlikely that will work | 02:39 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: what module does that one use? | 02:39 |
| gogeta | twig11: can you rrun a wire to it | 02:39 |
| adam7 | tsrk: you can give a try by running sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture nameofpackage.deb | 02:39 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: gogeta: and to take the encryption off I would need access to the router which I don't have. | 02:40 |
| Socah | hypoon: I had no such problem with liveUSB. In fact, it was quite simple - using unetbootin for each distro I wanted to add. When unetbootin made his job, I moved each distribution installed from pendrive, to other folder on my hard disk. After I installed, and moved all distributions I wanted, I splitted all folders to root of pendrive (except syslinux, and this other one for bootin), and then splitted content of syslinux, to hav | 02:40 |
| adam7 | Socah: your message got cut off after to hav | 02:40 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta: have we checked to make sure his ieee80211 lib was not messed up with something in wicd's removal? | 02:40 |
| twig11 | youseenothing_: you mean what driver module? | 02:40 |
| twig11 | gogeta: no | 02:40 |
| youseenothing_ | gogeta: we can check in dmesg if we remove the kernel module with modprobe and then re-enable it | 02:40 |
| youseenothing_ | twig11: yes | 02:40 |
| adam7 | youseenothing_, gogeta: if you really uninstalled wicd and rebooted, there is nothing from that that is messing it up | 02:41 |
| hypoon | Socah: you got cut off at "and then splitted content of syslinux, to hav" | 02:41 |
| youseenothing_ | adam7: it is possible that the ieee80211 lib was corrupted... | 02:41 |
| tsrk | adam7, ok, i'll try that, thanks | 02:41 |
| adam7 | youseenothing_: not from wicd, wicd doesn't touch that stuff | 02:41 |
| Socah | hypoon: ve option to boot each distro from loader. That's all - no problems | 02:42 |

| thansom_ | any process I could reset??? | 02:44 |
| wnstn | ndf what is your question again? | 02:44 |
| ndf | adam7: i put 9.04 live on a usb stick. the first time i booted it was fine. now the boot menu is different, more simplified, and i can't boot live or install now, it stops and the caps lock flashes, i can't see whats going on either because removing 'quiet splash' from the boot option actually doesn't do anything | 02:45 |
| Scunizi | thansom_: are you running anything like skype, gizmo or other 3rd party program that grabs the audio when you launch it? | 02:45 |
| adam7 | ndf: flashing caps lock light is a kernel panic | 02:45 |
| ndf | i've tried using it on other compuuters, same thing happens. i've also tried re-imaging with unetbootin | 02:45 |
| Socah | Andorin: hypoon: I'm sorry, I need to leave now. | 02:45 |
| wnstn | ndf have you checked the syslogs? | 02:45 |

| adam7 | ndf: I don't know the asnwer, I was just asking you to repeat your question isntead of just telling us you're being ignored :) | 02:46 |
| thansom_ | nope | 02:46 |
| wnstn | dmesg i believe | 02:46 |
| thansom_ | Scunizi, nope... its random. no programs are running | 02:46 |
| ndf | wnstn it won't boot lol | 02:46 |
| thansom_ | surely there's something I can do to just reset it | 02:46 |
| wnstn | even off live cd? | 02:46 |
| thansom_ | otherwise, I guess I'll jyust reboot | 02:46 |
| ndf | this is the case | 02:46 |
| ndf | that's what i'm saying | 02:46 |
| twig11 | adam7: youseenothing_ : gogeta : When I downloaded wicd with aptitude it had to uninstall network manager first and I remember seeing an error at the end fo the process. but I don't remember what it was.

| ndf | yea memtest is one of the options | 02:47 |
| ndf | it's fine | 02:47 |
| twig11 | but it didn't show up so I rebooted. When I rebooted, Network Manager applet asked for access to my key or something like that and I gave permission. Network Manager couldn't connect, and I've had the current problem ever since. | 02:47 |

| edbian | ndf: I don't have a live CD. Is there anyway to set kernel options in this menu? Have you scoward the whole thing? What you need to do is turn off the splash and quiet options so that you can see the errors during your boot. | 02:57 |
| switch10_ | Last ati card I buy thTs for sure | 02:57 |

| gordonban_ | How can I tell? | 02:58 |
| ndf | edbiani've allready said loads of times, removing quiet splash does nothing | 02:58 |
| edbian | ndf: I'm sorry I didn't see that *sheepish* | 02:58 |
| switch10_ | diegoviola: u can use fedora 10 or ubuntu 8.10 without any probs | 02:58 |

| edbian | ndf: Then I suggest you check the filesystem of the usb stick. Do you have a working ubuntu install or a live CD ? | 02:59 |
| Ins|de | hello, i'm having a little problem, i stay without sound without no reason, it seems the device becomes locked by another app, can anyone help me finding what and why it is becoming locked ? | 02:59 |
| gogeta | twig11: yea should be fine | 03:00 |
| mehdi | how can I change normal risulitioan in monitor? | 03:00 |
| uqs | how do I install Pidgin Screenlets? Screenlets is already isntalled. | 03:00 |
| gogeta | mulambo187: you shoulda said slackware heh | 03:00 |
| ndf | edbian: this worked the first time, and i've re-imaged and integrity checked the live on the usb stick a couple of times to make sure it's fine | 03:00 |
| edbian | ndf: That is strange. Do you have faulty hardware somewhere in your machine? i know that live CD's won't boot if you have a fried network card or something. | 03:01 |
| ndf | edbian: no it does this on every machine i put the stick in | 03:01 |
| Ins|de | doing an "lsof | grep pcm" i get 3 pulseaudio processes | 03:01 |

| ahuron | someone can help? | 03:02 |
| edbian | ndf: I have no idea. Perhaps the stick is physically damaged? | 03:02 |
| edbian | ndf: Sorry I'm not more help :( | 03:02 |
| gogeta | twig11: any luck | 03:02 |
| ndf | edbian: surely the integrity check (md5 on each file) suggests there's no damage? | 03:03 |
| mulambo187 | k im goin out, brb word of advice : install gentoo | 03:03 |
| switch10_ | mehdi: system>prefs>screen res | 03:03 |
| edbian | ndf: It was just a shot in the dark. a good md5 checksum does seem to mean the disk is fine. Like I said. I don't know what the issue could be :( | 03:03 |
| ahuron | someone help me | 03:04 |
| ndf | =((((( this is so frustrating prely because it worked once =( | 03:04 |

| twig11 | gogeta: I was away for a little. No luck. Could not get ip address | 03:05 |
| switch10_ | ndf: that is weird. Even tho the integrity test said all was good I would still try to make a new bootable USB. Maybe a different stick? | 03:05 |
| solexious | DoI need the 64 bit edition if I want to have more than 3gigs of memory? | 03:05 |

| gogeta | lol | 03:07 |
| zenwryly | For a server, is there a way to know when an upgrade requires a restart? | 03:07 |

| solexious | switch10_ will I run in to problems running the 64 bit edition if need it for over 3.2 gigs? I hear pople complain about 64 bit editions | 03:08 |
| matt098 | 64 bit work fine | 03:08 |
| solexious | s/pople/people | 03:08 |
| nickrud | solexious, mostly with closed source stuff like flash. | 03:08 |

| solexious | nickrud, but I take it I can dual boot with a 32 bit edition if I need it | 03:09 |
| switch10_ | I'm back stupid shotty iPhone connection | 03:10 |
| Skaperen | ndf: what OS are you using to record the USB flash drive with? | 03:10 |
| nickrud | solexious, mostly people would install a 32bit firefox alongside the 64bit; but I'm not sure that's even necessary any more | 03:10 |
| solexious | nickrud, know if I would run into problems sharing a /home directory on a partition with a 32 and 64 os sharing it | 03:10 |
| switch10_ | I've had a lot of headaches with 64 bit. Mainly with bluez and my printers drivers | 03:11 |
| nickrud | solexious, now that I can tell you won't be a problem. I share /home between all my ubuntu versions | 03:11 |
| ndf | edbian: lol after re-imaging again this time i didn't even see a boot menu at all, it was entirely replaced by unetbootin's own implementation, and it booted right away! what the fffffffff? | 03:11 |
| nickrud | solexious, never had a problem with it | 03:12 |
| solexious | nickrud, great :) was thinking of having another partition with ubuntu studio on it | 03:12 |
| edbian | ndf: Maybe a bug in unetbootin? I have no clue | 03:12 |
| nickrud | solexious, I'd be cautious between distros | 03:12 |
| switch10_ | Ya prolly a bug | 03:12 |
| ndf | bizarre. | 03:12 |
| ndf | -_- | 03:12 |
| Skaperen | unetbootin: has a few bugs ... but there are also issues with what it leaves behind can be corrupted on windows | 03:12 |
| solexious | nickrud, ah,ok | 03:13 |
| Skaperen | ndf: what OS are you using to record the USB flash drive with? | 03:13 |
| switch10_ | ndf: no cd drive? | 03:13 |
| charlie458 | hello, i meant to change the password for my account, but did sudo passwd instead, does doing sudo passwd -l root restore everything to how it was before? | 03:13 |
| twig11 | gogeta: I got cut off. did you get my question? Is there a way to reinstall Ubuntu and still keep my data without having to bring it all in from a backup? | 03:14 |
| ndf | Skaperen: the first time it worked normally with the proper ubuntu boot menu i did it with unetbootin on intrepid 8.10, then since it didn't work again i'd allready erased intrepid so i been using unetbootin on xp on another laptop, same .iso though (external hdd) | 03:14 |
| Skaperen | ndf: but what OS? Windows? | 03:14 |
| switch10_ | Skaperen: ya he said xp | 03:15 |
| ndf | re-read | 03:15 |
| nickrud | twig11, you can move all your stuff from /home to a /data directory, delete all other directories by hand, then when you install don't reformat the disk. | 03:15 |
| nickrud | move anything back from /data that you wanted. | 03:15 |
| twig11 | Can Ubuntu be reinstalled without losing the contents of the home folder? | 03:15 |
| Skaperen | ndf: it seems a USB drive created with unetbootin, and then touched by certain windows machines, becomes corrupted even if unetbootin worked | 03:15 |
| ufo_ | hello i have a little question... :) I need to add ".tor_aliases" to the bashrc file, but i find 2 one is /etc/bash.bashrc and the other is /usr/share/base-file/dot.bashrc, what is the file i should add the line ".tor_aliases" ??? thx in advance | 03:15 |
| Skaperen | ndf: I don't know if a virus does this, or windows itself | 03:16 |
| nickrud | twig11, I've never trusted it that much :) | 03:16 |
| nickrud | ufo_, either /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc | 03:16 |
| switch10_ | nickrud: I don't trust it at all | 03:16 |
| nickrud | switch10_, I've done the move data to /data and reinstall many times though | 03:17 |
| Skaperen | ndf: I think the issue is that the USB drive is in FAT format, and Windows can access that | 03:17 |
| ufo_ | but can not find the ~/.bashrc | 03:17 |
| nickrud | ufo_, it would be in your home directory. you need to show hidden files | 03:17 |
| ndf | Skaperen: i just did a little more testing; it seems to be something to do with the way you unmount on windows - if you 'eject' the usb drive, i get the same problem., but if i just pull it out it's fine lol, a bit contradictory to ideal practice to say the least | 03:17 |
| switch10_ | nickrud: I've def lost data. I reinstall quite a bit tho | 03:17 |
| ufo_ | ok | 03:17 |
| switch10_ | ndf: oh yea that's right | 03:18 |
| Skaperen | ndf: actually not contradictory ... by just yanking it, you deprive it of the opportunity to flush out the viral infections | 03:18 |
| ufo_ | ok i find it :) thx you guy's | 03:18 |
| Skaperen | flush out -> to the USB drive ... that is | 03:18 |
| bonez46 | how can I keep fairly up to date with applications.. and yet not run a risky system.. I don't want to run experimental stuff.. but I hate being far behind with many packages.. Suggestions? | 03:19 |
| twig11_ | Can Ubuntu be reinstalled without losing the contents of /home? | 03:19 |
| Skaperen | ndf: so I recommend using flashnul or other raw sector writer and just put a straight image on the USB drive | 03:19 |
| nickrud | bonez46, run ubuntu for 3-9 months old; you'd need another distro to keep up any better. Like gentoo | 03:20 |
| switch10_ | twig11_: just back up to ext hard drive | 03:20 |
| Skaperen | ndf: Windows won't mount it, and viruses won't know it's worth infecting | 03:20 |
| tsrk | i have restored my ~/.evolution directory from a backup, but evolution wants me to go through the setup wizard again. why is that happening? where does it store the information about whether it needs to run the setup wizard? | 03:20 |
| nickrud | tsrk, it keeps some config info in ~/.gconf | 03:21 |
| ndf | Skaperen: stop lying | 03:21 |
| tsrk | nickrud, oh yeah, i also got ~/.gconf/apps/evolution | 03:21 |
| Skaperen | ndf: eh? | 03:21 |
| ndf | windows does mount it, and viruses have no need to 'infect' files in a linux system - because they are not designed for linux | 03:22 |
| bonez46 | nickrud do you run any back stuff or just play it safe? | 03:22 |
| Skaperen | ndf: if it's in some other format, Windows won't mount it ... if it's a hard drive (USB flash drives are) then Windows won't mount an ISO on it | 03:22 |
| ndf | they won't be looking to 'infect' those files | 03:22 |
| ndf | what | 03:22 |
| ndf | you are talking crap | 03:22 |
| ndf | just shut up | 03:22 |
| Skaperen | ndf: sure windows does mount it ... I'm saying *IF* windows cannot or won't mount it ... | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen virusis thta just 'trash' files.. :) | 03:23 |
| nickrud | bonez46, I used to run a mx of debian's unstable/experimental. I switched to ubuntu as soon as it came out because it was a stable unstable :) | 03:23 |
| ndf | what | 03:23 |
| ndf | no you aren't | 03:23 |
| ndf | you're just talking | 03:23 |
| bonez46 | nickrud I need to run Mailman.. if I just compile from source.. and run that .. I assume that doesn't pose much risk, right? | 03:23 |
| Skaperen | ndf: it's in FAT format ... viruses have no idea it's for Linux ... to them it's just some new disk to infect | 03:23 |
| nickrud | no. running from source is the safest way in general | 03:23 |
| ndf | that doesn't matter | 03:24 |
| switch10_ | Skaperen: exactly | 03:24 |
| ndf | the point is | 03:24 |
| ndf | a virus will be looking for a certain file to 'infect' | 03:24 |
| Skaperen | ndf: read up on how unetbootin works ... it installs a boot loader onto a FAT drive and copies all the files from the source ISO | 03:24 |
| ndf | generally, it's not going to look for something like vmlinuz or whatever | 03:24 |
| ndf | i know, dick | 03:24 |
| Skaperen | ndf: depends on the virus ... many viruses see a new filesystem mounted and will add what they want to it to make it be infected whether it was bootable before or not | 03:25 |
| jbmigel | ?register | 03:25 |
| ndf | what? that doesn't even mean anything | 03:25 |
| ndf | stop talking | 03:25 |
| Skaperen | ndf: they do things like add autorun and boot sectors | 03:25 |
| nickrud | tsrk, not sure, been looking | 03:25 |
| Skaperen | ndf: you need to learn how booting works, and how viruses do their nasty deeds, how unetbooting works, and about some alternatives that work better | 03:26 |
| ndf | no i don't | 03:26 |
| ndf | i understand | 03:26 |
| ndf | you're just telling me everything i allready know | 03:26 |
| ndf | and patronising me telling me i need to learn something | 03:26 |
| tsrk | nickrud, ok, thanks, I found something that says it store passwords in ~/.gnome2_private/evolution, but my .gnome2_private is empty (I assume it mounts it from somewhere and it didn't get copied with the rest of my backup). Is that what I need? | 03:26 |
| ndf | just shut up | 03:26 |
| Skaperen | ndf: then fix it yourself and do it right now without whining or asking for any help | 03:26 |
| nickrud | bonez46, especially for something like mailman that's pretty discrete | 03:26 |
| ctmjr | !attitude | ndf | 03:26 |
| ubottu | ndf: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 03:26 |
| ndf | nothing needs fixing, i'm not asking for help. you're just spouting crap at me | 03:26 |
| nickrud | interesting. | 03:26 |
| Skaperen | ndf: you xp box is infected, and you can't get your USB to boot always | 03:27 |
| ndf | what | 03:27 |
| ndf | no | 03:27 |
| ndf | what made you think that | 03:27 |
| switch10_ | Um..... | 03:27 |
| nickrud | tsrk, interesting. I have nothing in .gnome_private either | 03:27 |
| Skaperen | ndf: and you are in denial | 03:27 |
| ndf | lol you don't even know | 03:27 |
| tsrk | nickrud, ok | 03:28 |
| ndf | i'm not 'in denial'; i'm telling you the problem is fixed and you just keep going on about how you know my xp box is infected and some virus is doing something. just shut up! nothing is wrong, infected or anything | 03:28 |
| Skaperen | ndf: windows infections are the cause of failure of the vast majority of boot failures when unetbootin itself actually works right (which does not always happen) | 03:28 |
| ndf | whoopdy doo! | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 03:29 |
| ndf | i don't care | 03:29 |
| Aarchon | ndf: xp is a virus | 03:29 |
| ndf | Aarchon don't you start as well | 03:29 |
| Aarchon | I will too | 03:29 |
| ndf | why do you all insist on winding me up and then warning me for attitude | 03:29 |
| switch10_ | This is rediculous | 03:29 |
| Skaperen | ndf: then quit telling us it won't boot ... if it's fixed it boots every time and you don't have trouble | 03:29 |
| ndf | just fuck off! | 03:29 |
| ndf | Skaperen | 03:29 |
| ndf | i'm not! | 03:29 |
| ndf | you are going on | 03:29 |
| ndf | i'm telling you the problem is FIXED | 03:29 |
| FloodBot2 | ndf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:29 |
| Aarchon | See, not the inevitable but how it really is | 03:30 |
| ndf | grrrrrrr | 03:30 |
| nickrud | mildness is generally better :) | 03:30 |
| Aarchon | sit back and relax... we are making new systems | 03:30 |
| noric | I'm using ubuntu 8.04 on dell mini 9. I would like to upgrade to OpenGL 2.0. How can I do this? | 03:30 |
| ufo_ | well actually i want to tority evolution any one know where i can find the howto ? | 03:31 |
| switch10_ | noric: copy the home folder including hidden folders to an external hard drive and install then copy over the files you want from your home folder | 03:32 |
| Aarchon | ndf: why did you feel a bit upset earlier if i may ask ? | 03:33 |
| noric | switch10_: but what do I install?? I don't understand what "intsallinig opengl 2.0" is | 03:33 |
| nickrud | ufo_, you don't really need a howto; just fill in the questions in the wizard and it'll hook you up. Using it is almost too close to outlook | 03:34 |
| ufo_ | ok | 03:35 |
| phase_shift314 | so google is coming up with an os? why? | 03:35 |
| Aarchon | cool | 03:36 |
| rainwalker1 | phase_shift314: because they can, and they're confident they can do it right | 03:36 |
| Skaperen | phase_shift314: everyone else does ... I'm surprised they hadn't sooner | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | and its very likely they can do it right. | 03:36 |
| Aarchon | I for one, like it | 03:36 |
| switch10_ | Android is google | 03:36 |
| moymoy | phase_shift314: Skaperen: and competition is good :) | 03:36 |
| ndf | Aarchon: i was telling Skaperen that i had fixed the problem and he insisted on repeating useless information about irrelevant and incorrect information about how windows mounts usb sticks. then he went on about how a virus has infected my stick and is now taking over the files on the live install, which is complete rubbish, nothing is wrong, i fixed the problem and it most certainly wasn't | 03:36 |
| ndf | caused by a virus | 03:36 |
| Skaperen | moymoy: of course | 03:36 |
| ndf | so i told him to shut up | 03:36 |
| ndf | and i got warned for abusing people | 03:37 |
| phase_shift314 | i'm sticking with ubuntu | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | phase_shift314: this is linux.. use wht you like.. :) | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | 'linux: Your OS, Your Way!' | 03:37 |
| moymoy | anyone know if NFS works outside of your own LAN (assuming your exports settings support connections from any hostname) | 03:38 |
| Madpilot | Folks, chat about Google's new OS elsewhere, pls. #ubuntu-offtopic or PM. | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: using nfs over the wild and dangerous Internet.. is not a good idea. | 03:38 |
| shazbotmcnasty | hey there guys, I reinstalled 8.10 because ATI dropped my video card - and now the restricted device manager isn't working properly | 03:38 |
| Aarchon | ndf: Well, windows is crap on mounting usb stuff because if, say E: exists itll not even try to mount the drive as F: because it felt! like not doing it or something (garbage) | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: now ssh and the 'sshfs' are proberly a better idea. | 03:38 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I try to activate the driver - and it just gives me a big red X | 03:39 |
| crgre | when using vim -f http://somesite.com/ vim invokes elinks and loads the formatted page instead of the HTML source. is there a way to prevent this? | 03:39 |
| Aarchon | ndf: do you like windows at all ? | 03:39 |
| moymoy | Dr_Willis: just wondering xD .. i was reading that old school ways of computing had every computer linked to the same server with an identical home folder (NFS mounted) | 03:39 |
| crgre | join #archlinux | 03:39 |
| Skaperen | Aarchon: I was about to offer him an alternative that has been more reliable ... just not quite as easy to do | 03:40 |
| nickrud | and never come back crgre :) | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: thats rather easy to setup. :) | 03:40 |
| ctmjr | shazbotmcnasty, what graphic card do you have? | 03:40 |
| shazbotmcnasty | radeon x800 | 03:40 |
| Aarchon | ndf: Place a document file on your right side of the desktop. Rightclick on it and then edit it, save it and see where it ends up. | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: i tend to export the /home to some location like /NFS/homes for accessing other machines on the lan via nfs. | 03:40 |
| shazbotmcnasty | it's worked fantastically before on 8.10 and I've never before had problems with interpid. | 03:40 |
| ndf | <Aarchon> ndf: Well, windows is crap on mounting usb stuff because if, say E: exists itll not even try to mount the drive as F: because it felt! like not doing it or something (garbage) | 03:40 |
| shazbotmcnasty | but for some reason it's not working :< | 03:40 |
| ndf | now you're doing it too | 03:40 |
| phase_shift314 | if only there were free hardware | 03:40 |
| ndf | just shut up | 03:40 |
| Aarchon | Skaperen: In the end itll be as good. | 03:40 |
| tsrk | Is there a way to make thunderbird only load a limited number of messages? I keep all my messages in my inbox and there are 8000 of them now which it isn't liking. | 03:41 |
| moymoy | Dr_Willis: just wondering what the limitations were =p and sftp is my prefered way of filetransfer over the internet.. and much easier than FTP.. | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: in the past some programs had issues with nfs mounted homes. not noticed or heard of any issues with it lately | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: if nfs server goes down... you are stuck.. :) | 03:41 |
| Aarchon | ndf: No, listen please. | 03:41 |
| Skaperen | Aarchon: he doesn't like to have his infinite wisdom challenged | 03:41 |
| ndf | what | 03:41 |
| nickrud | Aarchon, Skaperen please drop the issue, ndf seems happy | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: and nfs is perhaps not as 'secure' as it could be. | 03:41 |
| ndf | nickrud: i am, i have no problem but those two insist on telling me stuff that isn't true | 03:42 |
| bonez46 | how can I create a link on my desktop to a network folder on another machine? | 03:42 |
| Aarchon | Skaperen: My girlfriend is like this too, "Oh noo... no matter how crappy windows is ill still use it". Is it because its called "Microsoft windows" - Yes | 03:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | this is a brand new install, I just installed like 10 mins ago | 03:42 |
| nickrud | bonez46, places -> connect to server | 03:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | maybe I should reboot, I haven't done so yet. | 03:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I think I'll try that... | 03:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | brb | 03:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I'll be back if it doesn't work. | 03:42 |
| Skaperen | Aarchon: well at least she's honest about it | 03:43 |
| Aarchon | Skaperen: Drones | 03:43 |
| Aarchon | Yes | 03:43 |
| moymoy | Dr_Willis: even so, i still prefer it over SAMBA .. mounting smbfs makes nautilus hang when the server's down.. and horrible shutdown hangtime | 03:43 |
| nellmathew | hey guys, is there a way to enable syntax highlighting (c/c++) for gedit? | 03:43 |
| Aarchon | Skaperen: They do as they are told essentially | 03:43 |
| phase_shift314 | whats a good html editor, like wysiwyg | 03:43 |
| Aarchon | I dont like that | 03:43 |
| nickrud | Aarchon, Skaperen please stay on topic | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: ive noticed the shutdown issues.. of course nautilus is a littl brain dead about samba at times...... | 03:44 |
| jmigel | bonez46 have you tried finding your folder on the network, then doing the old right click make link | 03:44 |
| nickrud | nellmathew, should be there already views->highlight mode | 03:45 |
| ctmjr | nellmathew, open gedit then view highlite mode then sources | 03:45 |
| ndf | nickrud: would you suggest ext3 for / and xfs for /home ? | 03:45 |
| nellmathew | nickrud: ah! i was looking around for a plugin or something, didn't even realize that, thanks! | 03:45 |
| nickrud | ndf, no opinion really. I blindly use ext3 | 03:46 |
| ndf | hm ok | 03:46 |
| Aarchon | nickrud: For the next run youll please be not saying anything at the end ? | 03:46 |
| moymoy | Dr_Willis: is it possible to use more than one ssh private key? .. i have one with the name id_rsa .. but i want to add more keys to access different servers.. i tried putting a renamed key in my .ssh folder, but it doesn't seem to work that way... | 03:46 |
| nickrud | stay on topic, and don't talk about other users here and sure | 03:46 |
| Skaperen | moymoy: you can use multiple ... just list them in the config file | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | moymoy: proberly is.. but ive never had to mes with ssh that much. id have to say check some of the many ssh books. | 03:47 |
| ndf | ? i didn't say anything | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 03:47 |
| nickrud | n | 03:47 |
| ndf | i just asked you about filesystems :/ | 03:47 |
| nickrud | not you ndf :) | 03:47 |
| ndf | oh, k | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | how do i fix this from startupmanager update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/lib/usplash/gnucube-theme.so' | 03:47 |
| Skaperen | moymoy: be aware they all get tried and servers will drop connections after so many failures, so too many keys is bad | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | i figured im leet enoguh because i figured out how to get logins to the one ssh server with no password prompt. :) | 03:47 |
| Skaperen | moymoy: err, too many ids | 03:47 |
| shazbotmcnasty | okay, I'm back, I rebooted with no avail. | 03:47 |
| nickrud | !find gnucube-theme.so | 03:47 |
| shazbotmcnasty | the restrcited device manager still isn't working. | 03:47 |
| ubottu | Package/file gnucube-theme.so does not exist in jaunty | 03:48 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: i made that file | 03:48 |
| meoblast001 | am i supposed to make a deb out of it? | 03:48 |
| nickrud | meoblast001, ah :) is that a link to the actual file? | 03:48 |
| bonez46 | jmigel: I'll give that a try | 03:49 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: no.. gnucube-theme.so is the actual file | 03:49 |
| meoblast001 | it's at /usr/lib/usplash | 03:49 |
| === marko_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| nickrud | no, a deb is not needed. you have a link to that file in /etc/alternatives? (I'm slowly remembering alternative systems here) | 03:50 |
| rww | meoblast001: it's complaining about an incorrect update-alternatives command, not about the file missing | 03:50 |
| Grant-A | has anyone had any luck with RuneScape HD, FireFox 3.5, and Ubuntu 9.04? | 03:50 |
| meoblast001 | rww: so do i just run update-alternatives? | 03:50 |
| bonez46 | jmigel: I try that make link and it reports this >> the target doesn't support symbolic links | 03:50 |
| Naater | i have been trying to get savage working | 03:50 |
| moymoy | Skaperen: config file meaning the one for sshd? but i thought that one was for the ssh server .. though i'm not sure | 03:51 |
| rww | meoblast001: I don't know, I don't use usplash | 03:51 |
| meoblast001 | oh | 03:51 |
| moymoy | Skaperen: there IS an entry on there "HostKey" | 03:51 |
| Skaperen | moymoy: for the ssh client | 03:51 |
| Naater | i switched to linux cuz my windows was attacked | 03:51 |
| Skaperen | moymoy: you were referring to IDs, right? | 03:51 |
| moymoy | Skaperen: yup | 03:51 |
| Naater | im still new and getting settled | 03:51 |
| ubuntuy | Good Night | 03:53 |
| moymoy | if you need any help, just ask ;) | 03:53 |
| meoblast001 | if i start usplash from my console.. how do i close it? | 03:53 |
| ctmjr | shazbotmcnasty, your card is no longer supported by ati in linux see here http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/AMD-Provides-Legacy-Driver-for-Old-ATI-Cards/%28kategorie%29/0 you can install the open-source drivers or an older one from ati's website i think | 03:53 |
| meoblast001 | would i have to control+alt+f1? | 03:53 |
| ubuntuy | i need help for card sound ATI Technologies Inc RS780 Azalia controller | 03:53 |
| Naater | does any one know any good linux games? | 03:53 |
| shazbotmcnasty | but it says there's a driver to be installed. | 03:53 |
| jmigel | bonez46 weird, try right clicking on your desktop, and say 'create launcher', then for a command put 'nautilus pathtonetworkshare' | 03:53 |
| Paul1 | eh yo | 03:54 |
| Paul1 | :) | 03:54 |
| shazbotmcnasty | and that was for 9.04, the Xorg version is to new -but this has an older Xorg, and it gives me a driver to install, it just won't install it. | 03:54 |
| Izinucs | Naater: sure.. take a look at www.getdeb.net or www.playdeb.net for a good look | 03:54 |
| meoblast001 | Naater: Applications > Add/Remove.... switch to All OpenSource (free) | 03:54 |
| moymoy | Naater: Nexuiz is pretty good | 03:54 |
| Paul1 | nelimathew, did you check synaptic for a plugin? | 03:54 |
| meoblast001 | Naater: then click Games in the side | 03:54 |
| b4cchus | I'm trying to upgrade an ubuntu server from 7.10 to 9.04, an apt-get update gives me a bunch of 404 errors. I downloade a new sources.list file from the web, same errors... anybody got any ideas? | 03:56 |
| Andorin | Does anyone here use Exaile? | 03:56 |
| Izinucs | b4cchus: 7.1 is depreciated and the repos are deactivated.. best to reinstall | 03:57 |
| shazbotmcnasty | okay - I got an error now from restriced-device-manager, here it is: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock | 03:57 |
| Madpilot | b4cchus, skipping releases in upgrades is not supported (exception is LTS->LTS, but 9.04 isn't an LTS...) | 03:57 |
| b4cchus | I'm trying to upgrade an ubuntu server from 7.10 to 9.04, an apt-get update gives me a bunch of 404 errors. I downloade a new sources.list file from the web, same errors... anybody got any ideas? | 03:57 |
| Izinucs | !7.10 | 03:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 03:57 |
| b4cchus | so does that mean that I can only do a cd upgrade? | 03:58 |
| JackArrow | !upgrade | 03:58 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 03:58 |
| Madpilot | b4cchus, there is no supported way to go straight from 7.10 to 9.04 | 03:58 |
| nickrud | shazbotmcnasty, are you certain you don't have any other apt program running? synaptic, aptitude, etc? | 03:58 |
| shazbotmcnasty | now I do, I noticed that | 03:58 |
| b4cchus | k thnx all | 03:59 |
| Izinucs | b4cchus: I think you're going to find that to upgrade you'll need to reinstall.. for server it's best to always stick with LTS | 03:59 |
| phase_shift314 | can i install xp on ubuntu with virtualbox? | 03:59 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I didn't before though | 03:59 |
| nickrud | shazbotmcnasty, only one app can access the package management system at a time, that's what the lock file is fore | 03:59 |
| meoblast001 | back | 03:59 |
| meoblast001 | my usplash didn't change | 03:59 |
| nickrud | phase_shift314, yes | 03:59 |
| shazbotmcnasty | yes - that was an accident, I forgot I was installing the ubuntu-restriced-extras | 03:59 |
| phase_shift314 | no ship | 03:59 |
| shazbotmcnasty | but last reboot I could not get it, and I wasn't installing anything | 03:59 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, vm | phase_shift314 | 04:00 |
| ubottu | phase_shift314: 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 | 04:00 |
| meoblast001 | deos anyone understand: update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/lib/usplash/gnucube-theme.so'. | 04:00 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, virtualbox | phase_shift314 | 04:00 |
| ubottu | phase_shift314: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 04:00 |
| nickrud | shazbotmcnasty, ok, make sure no other package manager is running | 04:00 |
| phase_shift314 | i've used wine, and it works pretty well for about 70% of what i've tried | 04:00 |

| StrangeCharm | installing 9.04 server, i'm making a software selection. iif my webserver aspirations extend to a couple of static pages, should i pick the LAMP option, or should just install a lightweight webserver down the road? | 04:02 |

| shazbotmcnasty | /j #crunchbang #wreck_room | 04:03 |
| shazbotmcnasty | fuck | 04:03 |
| crgre | usr13: I know that vim is not browser, thanks. I want to open the HTML source, not the formatted text | 04:03 |
| shazbotmcnasty | just wanna see if they have any ideas - I like 'dem | 04:03 |
| steve_baker | first time trying to install virtualmin, working on ubuntu 8.04 | 04:03 |

| usr13 | crgre: Ok, well vim is very good for editing html documents. Not sure what the problem is you are having. | 04:04 |
| steve_baker | doesn't seem to be in the repositories? | 04:04 |
| StrangeCharm | *could | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | RocketLauncher: Were there any errors when you used fwcutter? | 04:04 |
| Madpilot | StrangeCharm, it's fairly easy to lock Apache down so that it doesn't know the actual web exists, actually. I had a 'locked' LAMP install on this desktop machine for ages. | 04:04 |

| Jordan_U | RocketLauncher: Are there any errors if you run "sudo modprobe b43" ? | 04:05 |
| shazbotmcnasty | it work now | 04:05 |
| shazbotmcnasty | later | 04:05 |
| RocketLauncher | Jordan_U never tried that yet.. | 04:05 |
| RocketLauncher | Jordan_U and i'll have to switch to ubuntu if i want to | 04:05 |
| RocketLauncher | i tried modprobe with ndis though | 04:06 |
| StrangeCharm | Madpilot- more work for me, and more things to get/go wrong. besides, i'm trying to put together a vm to runn on several machines, and having spare software lying around is just messey | 04:06 |
| usr13 | crgre: vim is not an internet browser. | 04:06 |
| Jordan_U | RocketLauncher: Did you try fwcutter before using ndis, the steps to use ndis generally disable / conflict with the b43 driver | 04:06 |
| usr13 | crgre: vim is a text editor | 04:07 |
| RocketLauncher | Jordan_U I don't think so.. | 04:07 |
| RocketLauncher | Jordan_U, I could try.. it all again but I don't know the exact steps.. | 04:08 |
| meoblast001 | still not working | 04:08 |
| crgre | usr13: have you actually tired what i suggested, or just keep repeating yourself | 04:08 |
| usr13 | crgre: You need to first download the file and then open it with the vi editor. vim index.html | 04:08 |
| crgre | usr13: no, what I need to know how to get vim to use wget instead of elinks and that what I am asking about | 04:09 |
| Madpilot | crgre, start with wget in terminal, and pipe it's output straight into vim? | 04:10 |
| meoblast001 | how does one change the target of a symlink? | 04:11 |
| RocketLauncher | brb | 04:11 |
| usr13 | crgre: wget www.host.name/index.html ; vim index.html | 04:11 |
| crgre | Madpilot: yeah I can think of a few workarounds but I want it work properly | 04:12 |
| rww | meoblast001: ln -s /new/target/here /symlink/location/here | 04:12 |
| crgre | Madpilot: if I don't have elinks around that it works as expected loading the HTML | 04:13 |
| rww | meoblast001: might need to rm the old symlink before doing that. i forget ln's obscurities. | 04:13 |
| meoblast001 | rww: symlink vs hardlink... which would i want for /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so | 04:13 |
| rww | meoblast001: symlink, hence the -s | 04:13 |
| crgre | so the question is where is this action defined | 04:14 |
| meoblast001 | ok.. time to reboot i guess :X | 04:14 |
| meoblast001 | wish me luck | 04:14 |
| rww | meoblast001: in general, if you don't know which you need, you need a symlink | 04:14 |

| Raphi974 | I need some help : With lspci, my WiFi is listed, but it's not in Network Manager. Why ? :( | 04:20 |

| ezyang | moymoy: no change | 04:27 |
| ezyang | Since it doesn't exist in fstab | 04:27 |
| moymoy | bonez46: escape the spaces with a backslash .. so if the folder name is "what happened" then you should have /what\ happened | 04:27 |
| crgre | usr13: try this command in a terminal: vim -f http://www.vim.org/ | 04:27 |
| moymoy | ezyang: hmm .. have any idea what you umounted? | 04:28 |
| bonez46 | moymoy: thanks | 04:28 |
| ezyang | moymoy: umount /media/VERBATIM | 04:28 |
| moymoy | bonez46: no problem | 04:28 |
| usr13 | crgre: It says " Illegal file name " | 04:28 |
| moymoy | ezyang: is there an entry for that in your fstab? | 04:29 |
| ezyang | No. | 04:29 |
| crgre | usr13: what is you shell, vim version, system? | 04:29 |
| ezyang | Because HAL did something magical to cause it to exist | 04:29 |
| ezyang | I know how to deal with normal mounts | 04:29 |
| usr13 | crgre: And rightfully so, because there is not even a file name designated. | 04:29 |
| moymoy | !hal | 04:29 |
| ubottu | Hal is in the process of being depreciated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. | 04:29 |
| bonez46 | moymoy: so this link >> smb://lytecproclaim/proclaimc/My%20Images/filescan/scott would be listed as //lytecproclaims/proclaimc/My\ Images/filescan/scott is that correct? | 04:29 |
| ezyang | Wot... | 04:29 |

| FrozenFire[work] | snejk: What I mean is, have you tried executing it in a different directory? | 04:31 |
| snejk | FrozenFire, yes I did | 04:31 |
| snejk | must be a bug | 04:31 |
| usr13 | crgre: If you have a question, I'll answer it, but as I said before, vim is a text editor, if you download the file you want to edit, and open it with the vi editor, you will accomplish what you are wanting to do. Otherwise, I just don't know what to tell you. | 04:31 |

| bonez46 | how do I set up shares.. with ubuntu? | 04:37 |
| kniht | bonez46: what kind of shares? | 04:37 |
| usr13 | crgre: If I want to use the vi editor to look at it, I'll simply do: wget http://www.vim.org/index.html ; vim index.html | 04:37 |
| karatekickz | samba shares? | 04:37 |
| usr13 | crgre: Is that not acceptable? | 04:37 |
| usr13 | karatekickz: You may need to decompress it first, (if it IS in fact a compressed file). | 04:38 |
| bonez46 | kniht: I am looking for Samba but I don't see it . or network shares configuration.. how does ubuntu handle network share setup.. either to share folders on ubuntu or to establish shares on other networked machines? | 04:39 |
| endo42 | what program would you recommend to convert audio files? | 04:39 |
| kniht | bonez46: 'places' menu, connect to server for outgoing | 04:40 |
| crgre | usr13: as I said before no. in my browser I want to open the source of the current page in an external editor (vim). It works if elinks is not installed. | 04:40 |
| kniht | bonez46: had found a nice program for managing local shares, but now I can't remember it | 04:40 |
| [R] | endo42: waht kind of audio files... what is it and what do you want to convert it to? | 04:41 |
| endo42 | songs | 04:41 |
| endo42 | i want to convert it to flac | 04:41 |
| [R] | endo42: from... | 04:42 |
| karatekickz | applications>system>shared folders | 04:42 |
| karatekickz | for you local samba share | 04:42 |
| karatekickz | in xfce at least | 04:42 |
| endo42 | what do you mean from | 04:42 |
| endo42 | i downloaded them | 04:42 |
| ghindo | endo42, What kind of files to you want to convert into FLAC? | 04:42 |
| endo42 | and i need to convert them to .flac | 04:42 |
| crgre | curl or wget is used and piped to vim. but when elinks is around it formats it and pipes the result. I want to know where is this behaviour is set up | 04:42 |
| moymoy | endo42: the "audio converter" app in the repos should work fine.. but why do you want to convert to flac? there's no increase in quality *converting* to FLAC | 04:42 |
| bonez46 | kniht: ok, my xp machine is named 'LYTECPROCLAIM' .. but I click connect to server. in place and it errors, says it can't connect | 04:43 |
| endo42 | no reason, just reading and i saw it suggested flac | 04:43 |
| endo42 | should i convert it to something else? | 04:43 |
| [R] | endo42: why do you want to convert? | 04:43 |
| ghindo | endo42, Unless the files you downloaded are lossless, then you shouldn't convert to FLAC | 04:43 |
| kniht | bonez46: can you ping that computer? | 04:44 |
| moymoy | usually mp3 or ogg is fine.. good compression for the audio.. | 04:44 |
| rameshwor | are the libraries for gtk C++ included by defalt in ubuntu ? how can i check if it is there or not ?? | 04:44 |
| moymoy | endo42: flac is lossless, that means people usually encode to flac to preserve quality.. but converting TO flac doesn't help you gain any quality | 04:44 |
| [R] | rameshwor: which libraries are you talking about? | 04:44 |
| === pvl1 is now known as pvl | ||
| rameshwor | [R]: for gtk+ gui development....to use within C/C++ | 04:45 |

| rameshwor | [R]: i'm not an expert but i want like API for gui | 04:47 |
| moymoy | bonez46: usually, ubuntu will automatically select one to install when you try to "share" one of your own folders | 04:47 |
| [R] | rameshwor: huh? | 04:47 |
| bonez46 | it showed samba already installed | 04:47 |

| fade__ | [R] I ls'd and it came back with the directory list of the root of that drive, and everything was "rwsrwsr-x" in the permissions | 04:51 |
| [R] | sergiu: huh? | 04:51 |
| sergiu | [R]: how? | 04:52 |
| [R] | fade__: i dindt ask you to tell me what 1 random thing in the output was | 04:52 |
| levander | Oh no, it's 'Appearance Perferences'. | 04:52 |
| jrib | levander: in gnome nautilus handles the desktop, so tell it not to and use something like xsetroot to get the solid background | 04:52 |
| [R] | sergiu: you can do a text mode install andd select whatever yo uwant | 04:52 |
| sergiu | [R]: you mean ubuntu alternate version | 04:52 |

| karatekickz | what is the x11 support channel my xchat list is not displaying any results | 04:52 |
| jrib | karatekickz: those aren't really related... | 04:53 |
| karatekickz | :jrib what isnt related? | 04:53 |
| jrib | karatekickz: x11 and xchat | 04:53 |
| levander | jrib: Do you have to do it like that? I'd be so much easier just to say, 'No Wallpaper'. | 04:53 |
| karatekickz | I know | 04:53 |
| [R] | fade__: and your problem is... | 04:53 |
| karatekickz | what is the x11 support channel because the /list feature in my xchat is not working | 04:54 |
| jrib | levander: the easy way to do that then is probably to just create a solid black wallpaper | 04:54 |
| karatekickz | two different problems ;) | 04:54 |
| jrib | karatekickz: "because" implies relation | 04:54 |
| fade__ | [R] A user in the "users" group can't write into these directories -- I can't see what I've missed | 04:54 |
| rww | karatekickz: #xorg, though you should likely ask in #ubuntu before going upstream. | 04:54 |
| levander | jrib: I need several colors to check for dead pixels. How do I tell nautilus not to handle the desktop background... | 04:54 |
| karatekickz | they are related bro... i have to ask because /list is broken | 04:54 |
| jrib | levander: gconf setting | 04:54 |
| karatekickz | so what is it? | 04:54 |
| jrib | !icons | levander | 04:54 |
| ubottu | levander: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) | 04:54 |
| [R] | fade__: why are they +s? they should be 755 | 04:55 |
| jrib | karatekickz: ok, but this isn't the information channel | 04:55 |
| fade__ | Ok, I'll set that | 04:55 |
| karatekickz | chirst man.... u cant tell me then? | 04:55 |
| jrib | karatekickz: no | 04:55 |
| karatekickz | can you tell me why xchat wont give me a proper /list? | 04:55 |
| jrib | karatekickz: if you have an actual ubuntu issue, I'd be happy to try to help | 04:55 |
| levander | jrib: 'gconf: command not found', apt-cache search doesn't find a package for it either | 04:56 |
| karatekickz | x11 isnt a ubuntu issue? | 04:56 |
| jrib | levander: gconf-editor | 04:56 |
| jrib | karatekickz: you haven't actually stated any issue. | 04:56 |
| karatekickz | jesus christ dude | 04:56 |
| fade__ | [R] -- setting them 755 made them "drwsr-sr-x" ...? | 04:56 |
| jrib | karatekickz: please stop with that | 04:56 |
| fade__ | I don't know where that s is coming from | 04:56 |
| [R] | fade__: i actually meant 775 | 04:56 |
| jrib | fade__: it's setuid | 04:56 |
| levander | jrib: in gconf-edit, setting picture_filename to nothing does the trick, thanks | 04:57 |
| [R] | fade__: but what kind of crazy settings do you have on that filesstysem that its putting the +s | 04:57 |
| karatekickz | xchat is not giving me a proper /list ... I am getting zero results | 04:57 |
| fade__ | That's what I'm wondering... it's mounted with "LABEL=UNIXSHARE /media/unixshare ext4 defaults,gid=100 0 0" | 04:57 |
| [R] | karatekickz: you right click then select "server" and "list of channels" then you have to type a serach and hit the button | 04:58 |
| [R] | fade__: well for one, there is no gid option for ext4 | 04:58 |
| rww | karatekickz: as I've said already, #xorg is the discussion channel for the X11 implementation Ubuntu (and most other distros) use | 04:59 |
| fade__ | Ok, so I can can that option. Still won't let me write (after removing setuid) | 04:59 |

| damn_headache | Hi. Is it possible to create some sort of link or reference to a file (e.g. ~/pointer -> ~/target) in such a way that when an unsuspecting person or program tries to delete ~/pointer, ~/target gets deleted? Ideally, the ~/pointer file would thereafter be hidden (truly hidden, not just prefixed with a dot) until some person or program tries to create it again. The ~/target file would then be... | 05:24 |
| damn_headache | ...created again, and the ~/pointer file shown. | 05:24 |
| switch10_ | cattellar: that could be. Try a live cd | 05:25 |

| rxKaffee | RocketLauncher: I'm guessing their entire network is lagged from the mad rush to get 9.10 | 05:29 |
| gabe_ | ShaunL: try using Frostwire instead, it has the same features | 05:29 |
| RocketLauncher | :D | 05:29 |
| pullus313 | <testing_xyz> oh no the graphics question again??? | 05:29 |
| switch10_ | gabe_: I agree frostwire is better | 05:29 |
| slimjimflim | noooooz. how do i fix it?!?! ^^^ | 05:29 |
| ShaunL | gabe_: Does it have the same amount of results as LimeWire would? | 05:30 |
| ctmjr | RocketLauncher, try aticonfig | less it will show the options to do what you want but like switch10_ says it would be much better on 8.10 | 05:30 |
| Twerpling | Oh hey | 05:30 |
| Twerpling | I got it working | 05:30 |
| gabe_ | anybody that knows how to configure krfb and tightvnc to work on two different networks? | 05:30 |
| Twerpling | swfdec apparently doesn't like ustream | 05:30 |
| RocketLauncher | ctmjr I dont want to resort to that though :( | 05:30 |
| switch10_ | slimjimflim: you guys are gonna have to downgrade to 8.10. I have it and it's fine. | 05:31 |
| gabe_ | ShaunL: absolutely, besides Frostwire is the open source version of Limewire (sort of) you can get it all through it | 05:31 |
| RocketLauncher | ctmjr in aticonfig, what do I have to do to make it so I'm dual screenin instead of mirroring? | 05:31 |

| rxKaffee | RocketLauncher: you can also use xinerama | 05:32 |
| rxKaffee | switch10_: the cards are awesome. the support/drivers is a nightmare | 05:32 |
| switch10_ | slimjimflim: do not. The ati drivers should work with your kernel | 05:32 |
| Guest19009 | yeah what he said | 05:32 |

| switch10_ | rxKaffee: their drivers are great for windows | 05:33 |
| r696 | hmm, well, 'gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > preferences > enable_delete' is *not* checked which means my deleted files are suppose to stay in Trash. For a temporary workaround I'll just enable it so all files will bypass the Trash bin. I wonder if that bypasses 'root trash' as well. | 05:33 |
| RocketLauncher | rxKaffee is that for gnome? | 05:33 |

The server is started, syslog tells me it's listening on the right interfaces and ports and netstat -a tells me the box is listening on the ntp ports, but when it's queried it doesn't reply. I did a scan using nmap and it didn't show up in the ports list either. Any ideas where I can look from here? | 05:34 |

| Dr_Willis | nsgn: could be the framebuffer or X is some how messing the console up. Try booting straight to the consoel, or use the 'nofb' option to disable the framebuffer | 05:57 |
| Jordan_U | nsgn: Go to a tty you can login with with ctrl+alt+F1 | 05:57 |
| CleanLaundry | Well the distro I use right now is on /dev/sda6. the swap I am using is on /dev/sda7. but I want to delete /dev/sda5 which is a unused swap, but it says I cant because I have to unmout logical partitions higher then /dev/sda5. what can I do? and is it right to use a livecd in this case ? | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | nsgn: yea see if alt-ctrlf1 throgu f6 give a useable terminal .. they should | 05:57 |
| nsgn | Jordan_U: i'll give that a shot. i'll be back if it doesnt work, as i'm gonna loose this IRC session when i kill X | 05:57 |
| nsgn | thanks | 05:58 |
| switch10_ | Pytlask: i have no idea what would cause that | 05:58 |
| Nis2k | hello, is there a way that i can reset my modem via terminal or software? Thanks! | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | CleanLaundry: delete? you could use fdisk and 'delete' it - but what are you going to put in its place? | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Nis2k: dialup modem? | 05:58 |
| Pytlask | switch10_: Alright. Thanks for your help anyway :) I found another possible avenue, so hopefully I can get this working | 05:58 |
| Nis2k | Dr_Willis: no a router | 05:58 |
| Skipper | i need help with my os :( | 05:59 |
| billenium | What is the package for libxml2 ? | 05:59 |
| CleanLaundry | Dr_Willis, lol why not? just to make allocated space, and eventually add it to this partition. I am using gparted which isnt letting me | 05:59 |
| Nis2k | Dr_Willis: so i get a new ip | 05:59 |
| moymoy | arrghhhh ... gnome-panel's autohide is so retarde | 05:59 |
| moymoy | d | 05:59 |
| Jordan_U | CleanLaundry: You shouldn't change extended partitions if any of the other extended partitions are mounted. Using a LiveCD would be ideal | 05:59 |
| buttons840 | I have an ATI HD4850, a recent ubuntu update caused my system's display to be corrupted. Anyone know if a bug has been filed about this issue? | 05:59 |
| Skipper | when i dual boot my uburtu it says some things, then <GLID> then i can type here. | 05:59 |
| Skipper | it says something like <GLID> | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | CleanLaundry: fdisk can delete it.. but resizing other partiions to use it.. would be a job for gparted. some layouts can be tricky to resize due to how the things get laid out. I tend touse all primaries. | 06:00 |
| buttons840 | What is the name of the open source ati driver? | 06:00 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: if you're using any advanced fglrx features, and xorg got updated... you're most likely having a conflict from the new randr12 features that are enabled by default | 06:00 |
| Skipper | me? | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | CleanLaundry: try using fdisk to delete it.. reboot.. see if gparted likes it better that way.. perhaps | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | buttons840: "ati" | 06:00 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: there's also radeonhd | 06:00 |
| CleanLaundry | Dr_Willis, Jordan_U now that I realize it, I DIDNT realize I had an extended partition, shoot | 06:00 |
| Bogus8 | I'm following this guide on setting up a mail server http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04-p4 and I'm at the top of this page and my telnet test here is just not working. | 06:01 |
| Bogus8 | I don't get the welcome 220 message and of course the server doesn't respond to the ehlo command | 06:01 |
| FloodBot1 | Bogus8: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:01 |
| CleanLaundry | Dr_Willis, Jordan_U is there a way to make in not extended anymore? | 06:01 |
| buttons840 | rxKaffee, how can i resolve these conflics? | 06:01 |
| Skipper | i tryed re-installing uburtu and it doesnt help :( | 06:01 |
| arrrghhh | anyone use mencoder? | 06:02 |
| Jordan_U | CleanLaundry: If you want more than 4 partitions, and you aren't on a mac ( or want to be really weird and have a PC with GPT ) you need to use an extended partition | 06:02 |
| Nis2k | Dr_Willis: any help? | 06:02 |
| CleanLaundry | Jordan_U, i see | 06:02 |
| Skipper | noting? | 06:02 |
| Skipper | sigh | 06:02 |
| Skipper | damn a lot of people are on :O | 06:03 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: check your xorg logs to see if its saying anything about randr12, if so google's saying something like "aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,EnableRandR12,FALSE" | 06:03 |
| arrrghhh | so mencoder... tryin to set it up to do multiple files in one run? like a batch? | 06:03 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: there's also an xorg.conf option that does the same as the aticonfig line | 06:03 |
| darthtuvok | Skipper: this is nothing, there usually are 1400+ ppl on | 06:03 |
| === darthtuvok is now known as darthanubis | ||
| arrrghhh | ls -lah | 06:04 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: I'm not sure if the xorg in ubuntu is recent enough to be doing the randr12 stuff though, so verify it in your logfile first | 06:04 |
| blkdg | has anyone here done simple video editing with linux? | 06:04 |
| arrrghhh | oop sorry | 06:04 |
| Skipper | wow | 06:04 |
| Skipper | hmm | 06:04 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: | 06:04 |
| buttons840 | rxKaffee, i'm on a fresh install, so i don't know how much information the log file will provide | 06:04 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Linux/Q_24343429.html | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Nis2k: no idea on routers doing that trick. sorry | 06:04 |
| switch10_ | Skipper: try re asking your question | 06:04 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: the xorg logfile is overwritten with new data each time xorg starts up, so age of installation is no matter | 06:05 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: what kind of operations? | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | arrrghhh: the menucoder docs have examples.. then you could use the find, or xargs commands to 'automate' things.. | 06:05 |
| Nis2k | Dr_Willis: you just have to manually reset it to get a new ip, i was just wondering if there was a way i could do it with a software.. | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Nis2k: ive never had to get a new ip that often.. | 06:05 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: last comment on that experts-exchange links to another site that describes disabling randr12 in xorg.conf | 06:06 |
| buttons840 | rxKaffee, the radeonhd open source driver wont help with the hd4850 will it? | 06:06 |
| Skipper | When i boot up my uburtu after installing on windows... i boot it up with dual boot, and then some text about press TAB for commands and ESC for other things and then under all of that theres text, i think its "<glid>" and then after i can type after it and uburtu dont boot at all | 06:06 |
| arrrghhh | Dr_Willis, hrm... i read thru the man page, but and i think i figured out conversion (although i'd like to figure out how to convert videos and keep the same file size/quality) | 06:06 |
| blkdg | MaT-dg, i am adding subtitles to .mov files using subtitleeditor (gtk app), they're visable in mplayer and in the app. how do i embedde the subtitles in the .mov? do i email my intended viewers (family members) the .mov and the subtitle file? | 06:06 |
| rxKaffee | buttons840: not sure if that specific card is in the radeonhd driver or not. my hd3300 onboard is and several other of the newer HD | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | Skipper: Could it be "GRUB" ? | 06:07 |
| Skipper | yes i think thats it | 06:07 |
| arrrghhh | i just don't get how to have it troll thru a folder. i tried passing *.avi *.ogm, and that seemed to work but always pumped out *.avi as the file name :S | 06:07 |
| switch10_ | Skipper: the GUI doesn't boot? Do u have a command line? | 06:07 |
| Skipper | yea i think it is a cmd line | 06:07 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: sec, I'll do some research on the .mov | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | Skipper: Has this install ever booted properly? | 06:08 |
| FrozenFire | Is there a panel applet that shows you the space usage of different partitions? | 06:08 |
| blkdg | MaT-dg, btw, i'm using .mov because that's the format the camera produces. | 06:08 |
| Skipper | it installed properly on my other computer. | 06:08 |
| lostxion | Was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how to go abouts getting my computer to read dvd disks, cant get it to work on my ubuntu os, new to ubuntu | 06:08 |
| switch10_ | Skipper: this is an install with wubi? | 06:08 |
| Skipper | whats wubi? | 06:08 |
| blkdg | lostxion, does your machine boot from dvd? | 06:08 |
| arrrghhh | FrozenFire, i think gparted would do what you're asking... | 06:08 |
| lostxion | no | 06:09 |
| FrozenFire | arrrghhh: I'm looking for something to put on my panel that will monitor disk usage. | 06:09 |
| switch10_ | Skipper: nevermind. Try typing startx | 06:09 |
| lostxion | says i dont have to proper plugins | 06:09 |
| blkdg | lostxion, i mean does it have a dvd reader which is bootable? | 06:09 |
| Skipper | when i get to the cmd line? | 06:09 |
| arrrghhh | FrozenFire, have you seen conky? | 06:09 |
| FrozenFire | I don't want to have to open a tool to check. I could just as easily df -h | 06:09 |
| switch10_ | Skipper: yup | 06:09 |
| arrrghhh | very customizable. you can even see disk usage | 06:09 |
| FrozenFire | arrrghhh: Can't say I have | 06:09 |
| Skipper | ok let me go try that | 06:09 |
| blkdg | arrrghhh, try gkrellem, it's like conky | 06:10 |
| lostxion | yes | 06:10 |
| FrozenFire | arrrghhh: If it's a major desktop modification, that wouldn't do. | 06:10 |
| Jordan_U_ | Skipper: Has it ever booted properly on the machine you are now having problems with? | 06:10 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: do you want to hardsub them or use softsubs? | 06:10 |
| FrozenFire | I just need a simple indicator on my panel | 06:10 |
| === iceblock is now known as reqon | ||
| blkdg | lostxion, in the bios of the machine, is the dvd drive set to the first priority? | 06:10 |
| arrrghhh | FrozenFire, it's not. i've never heard of gkrellem, blkdg - you could look into that as well FrozenFire ? i found conky to be very easy to use, extremely customizable, and had no footprint. | 06:10 |
| lostxion | yeah once i put a disk in it trys to read it | 06:11 |
| blkdg | i don't know the terms MaT-dg | 06:11 |
| arrrghhh | it's not part of gnome - or kde for that matter, it's in the repo's. | 06:11 |
| lostxion | it works on my windows os | 06:11 |
| lostxion | want to get rid of windows though | 06:11 |
| reqon | paradoxx - cause im your nightmare <----rocks! | 06:11 |
| blkdg | lostxion, what happens after it reads? | 06:12 |
| blkdg | lostxion, did you verify that the disk was downloaded properly. check the checksum.... | 06:12 |
| lostxion | my ubuntu disk? | 06:13 |
| blkdg | MaT-dg, google to the rescue i want hardsub | 06:13 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: with hardsub the subtitles are part of the video, with softsub they are overlayed on top of the video by the player | 06:14 |

| davidguard | Can someone tell me why my asus eee pc 700 would not be booting from a usb drive that has been set up to boot eeebuntu (which does work on another machine)? | 06:15 |
| Bogus8 | I'm following this guide on setting up a mail server http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04-p4 and I'm at the top of this page and my telnet test here is just not working. | 06:15 |

| blkdg | MaT-dg, i would like to hard sub this. | 06:15 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: well the method of using a seperate file (.srt .ssa .sub ...) is softsub, but u can also embed 1 or more subtitle files in the video-container itself | 06:15 |
| switch10_ | davidguard: make sure your bios supports booting from USB | 06:16 |
| WIGGMPk | why do i have 2.6.28-13-server in /lib/modules when I am running the Desktop of Jaunty? | 06:16 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: then u have 1 video file, and can select wich subs u want to display or no subs at all | 06:16 |
| switch10_ | davidguard: also make sure it's before your hard disk in your boot order in bios | 06:16 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: sure u still want hardsub? | 06:16 |
| blkdg | ok, how do i embed my subtitle file with my mov file so that the folks on the other side can 'just double click' | 06:18 |
| akhil_ | I put my system packages for update and now each my terminal gets a wall message after each minute. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 | 06:18 |
| davidguard | switch10_: I have done this already. I made the usb pen the first boot choice, but it keeps booting to the default os. I have even tried removing the HD from the list altogether but then a get an error saying something about an error with the drive | 06:18 |
| === inovsky is now known as [aslema] | ||
| MaT-dg | blkdg: well, hardsub is the easiest for the viewer: no config att all and no possibility of subs not showing up because of codec problems | 06:19 |

| davidguard | switch10_: "Error loading operating system" | 06:19 |
| blkdg | MaT-dg, ok, so how do i softsub in one file? | 06:19 |
| Jordan_U | davidguard: How did you create the flash drive? | 06:20 |
| davidguard | switch10_: Using the tool that comes with Ubuntu | 06:20 |

| davidguard | switch10_: Not that I can see | 06:21 |
| davidguard | Jordan_U: never tried | 06:22 |
| Jordan_U | bdelin88: use ";" so "sudo chmod 770 -R file ; chgrp www-data -R file" | 06:22 |
| bdelin88 | Jordan_U: thanks! | 06:22 |
| Beems | how con I test my graphics card to see if its working properly? | 06:23 |

| [R] | Beems: do you see something on the screen? it's working | 06:23 |
| Skipper | said* | 06:23 |

| MaT-dg | blkdg: because it is a recent and very flexible video container wich allows soft subtitles | 06:23 |
| Jordan_U | Beems: One test ( not complete ) would be to run "glxinfo | grep direct" and if it returns "direct rendering: yes" it's working | 06:23 |
| Skipper | i typed startx in grub> thing | 06:23 |

| MaT-dg | blkdg: with avidemux | 06:26 |
| jazzyy | im using ubuntu 8.10 and dualbooting XP with it | 06:26 |
| arrrghhh | davidguard, is there a button like "F12" that forces your computer to a 'boot-menu' that lets you pick which device (hdd, optical, usb, etc)? | 06:26 |
| jazzyy | but when my PC starts up i cant choose which OS to boot as my keyboard wont work on my bios | 06:26 |
| jazzyy | so how do i make it choose XP by default | 06:26 |
| blkdg | does avidemux create subtitles from scratch? | 06:26 |
| Jordan_U | Skipper: Second partition or second driver? ( respond with the partition number and drive number) | 06:26 |

| [R] | jazzyy: in /boot/grub/menu.lst you can select what the default should be | 06:27 |
| Equs | davidguard, that's strange personaly I always use Unetbootin to create live USB and works fine on my eee700 | 06:27 |
| blkdg | MaT-dg, i thought that avidemux was an editor. | 06:27 |
| davidguard | arrrghhh: Esc does that. But when I pick the USB drive it gives me the same error "Error loading operating system" | 06:27 |
| Beems | Jordan_U: direct rendering came back yes | 06:27 |
| Skipper | uhhhhhhh. idk, its a laptop, vista, 2 partions "i guess if thats what u call it" (C:\ and D:\) 1 dvd drive. | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | Beems: If it's an intel chip try updating your machine then trying again, an intel bug fix was recently released | 06:27 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: avidemus doesn't create subtitles. It hardsubs them from a separate subtitle file into the video | 06:27 |
| arrrghhh | davidguard, sorry if i missed it, but how did you create the usb key? | 06:28 |
| Beems | Jordan_U: no its nvidea 6200 | 06:28 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: you said you already had the subtitle file? | 06:28 |
| jazzyy | awesome thanks [R] | 06:28 |
| davidguard | Equs: Like I said above the drive works fine on another computer. Also I've done an install like this before on another eeepc700 which worked fine too | 06:28 |
| Beems | Jordan_U: running 180 proprietary drivers | 06:28 |
| blkdg | ok, so i take the .ass file that subtitle editor made and then avidemus will hard sub it for me. | 06:28 |
| arrrghhh | davidguard, the fact that your usb drive shows up is promising. | 06:28 |
| Skipper | any one else can help me? | 06:28 |
| blkdg | MaT-dg, so i take the .ass file that subtitle editor made and then avidemus will hard sub it for me. right? | 06:29 |
| davidguard | arrrghhh: I used the tool that comes with Ubuntu | 06:29 |
| MaT-dg | blkdg: that's correct | 06:29 |

| Jordan_U | WIGGMPk: The command I just gave you will check if there are any packages you have that install that directory. If none are found then I would say it's safe to rename the folder ( so it can't be found automatically ), reboot, then if nothing blows up delete it :) | 06:32 |

| Skipper | ??? | 06:34 |
| switch10_ | Skipper: sorry dude. I don't really understand your question | 06:34 |
| switch10_ | Skipper: are u getting into GRUB. Or is it a command line? | 06:35 |
| Equs | davidguard, do you have access to any sd cards | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | WIGGMPk: "dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.6.28-13-server" also check "uname -a" to be sure that you are currently booted into the -generic kernel | 06:35 |
| davidguard | No | 06:35 |
| Skipper | switch10_: my uburtu dont boot when i click uburutu in my dual boot screen, it just shows me a grub> (a cmd line) | 06:35 |
| switch10_ | Equs: could you boot from an sd card? | 06:35 |
| WIGGMPk | Jordan_U: why would virtualbox need it? | 06:35 |
| Equs | switch10_, the eee does | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | WIGGMPk: It wouldn't. I am not sure why you are asking that. | 06:36 |
| jazzyy | how do i give my permission to change menu.lst? | 06:36 |
| davidguard | Equs: is it necessary to format the drive with a particular FS? I mean it does work on the other machine | 06:36 |

The server is started, syslog tells me it's listening on the right interfaces and ports and netstat -a tells me the box is listening on the ntp ports, but when it's queried it doesn't reply. I did a scan using nmap and it didn't show up in the ports list either. Any ideas where I can look from here? | 06:37 |

| switch10_ | Skipper: grub is your dual boot screen. I don't understand. | 06:38 |
| Skipper | ugh | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | WIGGMPk: Ahh, virtualbox probably contains modules for any of the possible Ubuntu kernels so that you don't need a different package for desktop vs server | 06:38 |
| buttons840 | I'm really frustrated because i used to have great perfromance from fglrx and my hd4850, but after a recent update i cannot use fglrx without having total video corruption (using jaunty) | 06:39 |
| WIGGMPk | Jordan_U: hmmm so would it be safe to get rid of the server modules? | 06:39 |
| switch10_ | buttons840: yup. And ati I hear won't be releasing any updated drivers for their older cards | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | switch10_: Grub has failed to load the menu and has dropped him to its command line, I think I can help him from there if he tells me what partition number and drive number ubuntu is installed to | 06:39 |
| Skipper | switch10_: NO no.... after i boot it from the dual boot...... ubrutu dont boot..... it just shows GRUB4DOS 0.4.4 thing, and after all this info text, it shows grub> | 06:40 |

| switch10_ | buttons840: your best bet is to downgrade it to 8.10 | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | Skipper: What drive and what partition ( second partition on the first drive? ) | 06:41 |
| rTk_cool | hey im serious | 06:41 |
| WIGGMPk | Jordan_U: shouldnt Virtualbox be attached to the generic modules as well? running the same command on that yeilds nothing | 06:41 |
| Skipper | Jordan_U: the 2nd partition | 06:41 |
| switch10_ | rTk_cool: ya put it on a cd and install it | 06:42 |

| joejc | i just decided programming with a wireless keyboard is a bad idea | 07:24 |
| rTk_cool | whats the coolest interface for ubuntu | 07:24 |
| rTk_cool | like the rotating screens one or something | 07:24 |
| switch10_ | rTk_cool: compiz-fusion | 07:25 |
| tarzeau | joejc: it's also bad for playing games | 07:25 |
| rTk_cool | do i need a good computer to run it | 07:25 |
| joejc | works fine | 07:25 |
| joejc | unless i need batteries | 07:25 |
| kniht | joejc: why would it be bad for programming in particular? | 07:25 |
| switch10_ | rTk_cool: sort of. U need 3d graphics | 07:25 |
| joejc | batteries | 07:26 |
| tarzeau | rTk_cool: one not older than 3-4 years, and 3d capabilities (nvidia) should be just fine | 07:26 |
| kniht | joejc: my wireless uses rechargable 4xAAA and lasts for over almost two months :P | 07:26 |
| joejc | im using the ones from my remote after these r dead im stuck using the onscreen one | 07:26 |
| arooni-mobile___ | how do i update ubuntu to latest version? | 07:27 |
| kniht | s/over // # just realized it wasn't over | 07:27 |
| pup | arooni-mobile__:use update manager! | 07:27 |
| switch10_ | arooni-mobile___: update manager under system | 07:27 |
| switch10_ | Prefs or admin | 07:28 |
| pup | arooni: if you have turned on updates only for LTS, you won't see upgrade to Jaunty | 07:28 |
| arooni-mobile___ | swiatOFF, do i need do anything to make this work? | 07:28 |
| arooni-mobile___ | switch10_, i mean. i have turned on some 3rd party sources | 07:28 |
| vbgunz | i've asked this question many times here but never got an answer. I *think* something about my Kubuntu may be encrypted. I remember seeing this option on install *but* I could have sworn I unchecked it. anyhow, when I log into tty 1 -6, I keep seeing this message -> cannot examine encrypted directory... why? | 07:28 |
| rTk_cool | are files like window's xp files or mac files | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | vbgunz: Do you have a directory ~/private ? | 07:29 |
| vbgunz | Jordan_U: one sec | 07:29 |
| _Apple_ | I need help with my secondary display | 07:29 |
| kniht | rTk_cool: what do you mean? | 07:30 |
| vbgunz | Jordan_U: no. no ~/.private OR ~/private | 07:30 |
| NeoTubNinja | rTk_cool: awesome files | 07:30 |
| switch10_ | arooni-mobile___: it will save all of that. I would back up your home folder and your sources.list to b sure tho | 07:30 |
| Geoffrey2 | I'm trying to play a DVD through mplayer, it won't start playing, and I'm a lot of errors from libdvdread | 07:30 |

| Jordan_U | Geoffrey2: Have you installed libdvdcss? | 07:31 |
| [R] | Geoffrey2: did you install libdvdcss? | 07:31 |
| Geoffrey2 | yes, from medibuntu | 07:31 |
| C-S-B_ | rTk_cool: mac is like unix/linux | 07:31 |
| Geoffrey2 | libdvdcss2 | 07:31 |
| NeoTubNinja | rTk_cool just worry about stuff in /home and youll be fine till you learn about everything else | 07:31 |
| [R] | Geoffrey2: and its a good dvd? | 07:31 |
| rTk_cool | true | 07:32 |
| rTk_cool | the only linux expierence i have is with my g1 | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | rTk_cool: Files are pretty much the same on every OS. Macs used to be different with recource fork crayzyness but that went away with OSX | 07:32 |
| switch10_ | Geoffrey2: try to play it with vlc | 07:32 |
| rTk_cool | ahh alright | 07:32 |
| rTk_cool | last question | 07:32 |
| rTk_cool | if i resize a partition it wont format it automatically will it | 07:33 |
| [R] | rTk_cool: no | 07:33 |
| rTk_cool | true ok | 07:33 |
| rTk_cool | i just need a new hard drive so i can have a lot more space and i'll finally clean up my computer | 07:34 |

| Geoffrey2 | vlc says it has no idea how to read a DVD | 07:34 |
| vbgunz | anybody get this encryption message when they log into terminals 1 - 6? what is it and why? I really dont want encryption anywhere on my drive, disk or partitions :/ | 07:34 |
| switch10_ | Geoffrey2: my vlc | 07:34 |

| NeoTubNinja | ext3 imo | 07:36 |
| vbgunz | yeah man, the bot needs a leash. I quoted my exact error twice so far. it would be helpful if someone actually took a minute to help out. Im grateful | 07:36 |
| disco_stu | need hel with hal and keycodes, but its late | 07:37 |
| disco_stu | help* | 07:37 |
| vbgunz | this message has been bugging me and double quote searching for it on google says absolutely nothing. I have no idea whats encrypted at this point :/ | 07:37 |

| rTk_cool | anything i should know before formatting to ext3 and installing ubuntu | 07:40 |

| rTk_cool | be back | 07:41 |
| switch10_ | rTk_cool: ha good luck | 07:41 |
| gleeb_ | [R]: theres no reason to keep bouth... i actualy had to compile the 2.4.2 from source on the 8.1 for development. but was just wondering | 07:42 |
| cattellar | d_rwin, any fan possible | 07:42 |
| d_rwin | cattellar: CPU fans control from BIOS | 07:43 |
| gleeb_ | [R]: actualy if you could keep bouth that would be cool... i bet that would create massive imbigues (dont know how to spell it) functions | 07:43 |
| NeoTubNinja | imbiguous? | 07:43 |
| cattellar | d_rwin, ok | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | vbgunz: Does "mount | grep ecryptfs" return anything? | 07:44 |

| vbgunz | Jordan_U: no. I just uninstalled ecryptfs-utils | 07:45 |
| switch10_ | A little off topic, but I saw a new microsoft virus that shuts down CPU fan causing it to over heat and shut down. Popped in a livecd and all was well. The guy thought his computer was done for. | 07:45 |
| metal1369 | any yahoo messenger clone aside from gyache? | 07:45 |
| cattellar | hi, Im experiencing an annoying sudden high pitch sound on my asus laptop , it started just after installing Ubuntu 64 bit version, but also during ubuntu's installation I had to insert the power adapter jack with extra force since it got a bit deformed, probably I stepped on it. So Im not sure which one could be the cause. The thing is I can still hear the sound while the bios is loading, I even installed ubuntu 32, which didnt give me this issue | 07:45 |
| cattellar | before, but the sound persists. I guess it's a fan, or something related to the hard drive because the sound starts as soon as the hd stops loading things. Any ideas of what can I do? | 07:45 |
| pup | metal1369: are you unhappy with pidgin? | 07:46 |
| metal1369 | i need to use webcam and voice | 07:46 |
| zeroplus | hi | 07:46 |
| metal1369 | pidgin doesnt support it | 07:46 |
| switch10_ | metal1369: pidgin does both | 07:46 |
| switch10_ | metal1369: yes | 07:46 |
| SnaX | does ubuntu support *.iso? | 07:46 |
| SnaX | new to linux here | 07:47 |
| switch10_ | SnaX: sure does | 07:47 |
| Jordan_U | switch10_: pidgin supports video now? | 07:47 |
| pup | switch10_: it does? i thot that's the biggest downside to pidigin, no webcam/voice | 07:47 |
| zeroplus | I have a question about addition of new Hard Disk | 07:47 |
| csaba | where can I set the distance between the icons on the desktop? | 07:47 |
| pup | SnaX: of course it does... | 07:47 |
| zeroplus | yeah, | 07:47 |
| mejobloggs | how hard is it to install/setup ubuntu 9.04 to run a php server? | 07:47 |
| d_rwin | cattellar: u hv any exp in hardware troubleshooting ? | 07:47 |
| switch10_ | pup: sorry I guess I was using amsn | 07:47 |
| pup | SnaX: just right click on the .iso and mount it, or burn it... | 07:48 |
| [R] | mejobloggs: how hard is it for you to read instructions? | 07:48 |
| [R] | mejobloggs: cuz thats all it takes | 07:48 |
| VanDyke | LOL | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | mejobloggs: Trivial | 07:48 |
| switch10_ | Amsn is good tho | 07:48 |
| VanDyke | LOL | 07:48 |
| [R] | mejobloggs: and there is no such thing as a 'php server' | 07:48 |
| supersasho | hi.. how can i mount ext4 partition in intrepid? | 07:48 |
| zeroplus | I've configured Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 on the first drive. | 07:48 |
| cattellar | d_rwin, not really | 07:48 |
| pup | switch10_: thanks for the clarification! i was shocked for a moment.. | 07:48 |
| csaba | Where can I set the distance between the icons on the desktop? | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | mejobloggs: It's an option during install if you install with the server CD | 07:48 |
| csaba | I can't find it anywhere in the control panel... | 07:48 |
| neil_d | I was running several programs, I shut some of the down, now htop is reporting that 316/956MB swap used.... how do I reset the swap figures to represent what is currently being used? | 07:48 |

| newb2linux | does anyone know how I could get a minimal install of ubuntu to boot into XBMC on boot ? | 07:49 |

| [R] | neil_d: that IS what is being used | 07:49 |
| newb2linux | using X ? | 07:49 |
| zeroplus | But whenever I attach the second Hard drive (ntfs parted), It shows "missing OS" | 07:49 |
| csaba | where can I set the distance between the icons on the desktop? | 07:49 |
| d_rwin | cattellar: u can open the cabinet and check if something obstructing the fan | 07:49 |
| neil_d | [R]: so once used swap is never freed? | 07:49 |
| d_rwin | cattellar: just rotate and check | 07:50 |
| KoolD | what should i chmod my music folder in my home directory to allow access to all users on my pc to the folder /music which is a symlink to the music folder on my home folder.( | 07:50 |
| [R] | neil_d: it'll be freed when it needs to be | 07:50 |
| cattellar | d_rwin, hmm it's a laptop so I'm not too confident on doing that | 07:50 |
| [R] | neil_d: it doesnt hurt to have stuff in there | 07:50 |
| csaba | where can I set the distance between the icons on the desktop? | 07:50 |
| d_rwin | cattellar: u hv dell? | 07:50 |
| cattellar | d_rwin, asus | 07:50 |

| csaba | yes | 07:50 |
| mneptok | !repeat | csaba | 07:50 |
| ubottu | csaba: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 07:51 |
| cattellar | d_rwin, do you think me inserting the power jack has something to do with it? I just had to push a bit harder | 07:51 |
| csaba | NOBODY knows how to set the distance between icons?? | 07:51 |
| vbgunz | Jordan_U: I hope I dont kill myself here but I got rid of the message. I renamed ~/.ecryptfs to ~/.ecryptfs__backup and then used apt-get to autoremove ecryptfs-utils. I logged back into terminal and didn't get the encrypted message | 07:51 |
| switch10_ | csaba: I don't | 07:51 |
| neil_d | [R]: anway to flush it... the programs using have been terminated. | 07:51 |
| [R] | csaba: or you have just annoyed everyone that they dont want to answer | 07:51 |
| [R] | neil_d: and the point is? | 07:51 |
| csaba | how difficult can it be... | 07:52 |
| switch10_ | csaba: google it | 07:52 |
| [R] | csaba: well... it could also be that no one knows what you are talking about | 07:52 |
| neil_d | [R]: I wan't a current figure on swap usage, not something hours old. | 07:52 |
| d_rwin | cattellar: no, u gonna hv to call the h/W engineer | 07:52 |
| [R] | neil_d: that IS the swap usage | 07:52 |

| Jordan_U | mejobloggs: Np, the rest of the server guide documentation is pretty good as well :) | 07:53 |
| csaba | dj_: yes but is there some overall settings that would change the entire grid? | 07:53 |
| csaba | so the distance would not be 50 pixels but less | 07:53 |
| neil_d | [R]: ok, to put it another way, can I move data from the swap back to main memory? | 07:54 |
| [R] | neil_d: if the kernel need something in ram... it'll put it there | 07:54 |

| callum_ | hi everyone is it safe to remove evolution mail from ubuntu 9.04 | 07:55 |
| callum_ | i dont need it - | 07:55 |
| newb2linux | k. . | 07:55 |
| switch10_ | callum_: yes very safe | 07:55 |
| [R] | callum_: you can remvoe wahtever you want | 07:55 |
| mneptok | callum_: just make sure it's not taking the ubuntu-desktop metapackage with it | 07:56 |
| csaba | changing the zoom level to less than 100% will also not reduce the spacing between icons | 07:56 |
| callum_ | switch10_ i cant find it in the synaptics manager and when using add/remove it says to use syn | 07:56 |
| switch10_ | callum_: I don't live evolution. Never have | 07:56 |
| mneptok | [R]: no. some apps are a dependency of ubuntu-desktop | 07:56 |
| [R] | mneptok: and? | 07:56 |
| mneptok | [R]: and that removes GNOME, all GTK apps, X11 ... | 07:56 |
| Dulak | mneptok: ubuntu-desktop is perfectly fine to remove, as long as you don't autoremove it you are fine | 07:56 |
| switch10_ | callum_: it's in there. Search installed programs | 07:56 |
| [R] | mneptok: it most certainly does not | 07:57 |
| Dulak | mneptok: that's only an issue if you autoremove afaik | 07:57 |
| mneptok | Dulak: if so, that's new as of Jaunty. | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | csaba: I can't test right now as I'm not using gnome, but try apps > nautilus > icon view > default_use_tighter_layout | 07:57 |
| JoungBoy` | #w3af | 07:57 |
| newb2linux | What is 9.10 going to be called ? | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | mneptok: No it's not | 07:58 |
| Dulak | mneptok: nope been like that at least since dapper, I always remove that package | 07:58 |
| csaba | Jordan_U: that's already set (use compact layout) and still not good :( | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | !ubuntu-desktop | mneptok | 07:58 |
| ubottu | mneptok: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 07:58 |
| supersasho | hi.. how can i mount ext4 partition in intrepid? | 07:58 |
| csaba | from what I can see it's not possible to set the icon spacing | 07:58 |
| mneptok | Jordan_U: the upgrade will cause issues, as ubottu says | 07:58 |
| LLStarks | ugh. | 07:58 |
| LLStarks | nautilus has such wonky clicking behavior in list mode. | 07:59 |
| callum_ | i search evolution mail and evolution and nothing... comes up under evolution mail | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | mneptok: I think update-manager re-installs it before upgrades automatically | 07:59 |
| switch10_ | callum_: on the bottom left in synaptic there are filters. You will find evolution by only showing installed apps | 07:59 |
| mneptok | callum_: and just search for evolution | 07:59 |
| switch10_ | Or you should anyway | 07:59 |
| callum_ | there is a evolution labelled mail and organizer app? | 08:00 |
| callum_ | installed | 08:00 |
| callum_ | so do i click remove - or completely remove | 08:00 |

| switch10_ | !wine | 08:04 |

| nafta | is there a way to install older packages in ubuntu? | 08:08 |
| Pluxii | i have previously only used ubuntu inside of my VMware, i decided i wanted to go ahead and actually install it, i went ahead and partitioned 50 gigs off my HDD, to be honest, i'm not sure how to install it to where i can dual boot my OS's | 08:08 |

| switch10_ | callum_: I meant just the other guy sorry | 08:08 |
| nafta | but i dont know where to start | 08:08 |
| nafta | the source wont compile | 08:09 |
| linxing_ | get source code | 08:09 |
| Slart | nafta: if you can get hold of the deb you can install it using gdebi or similar.. from repositories... I'm not sure | 08:09 |
| em056 | do i still need to install my drivers hardware in ubuntu??? | 08:09 |
| callum_ | why is my sound fuzzed? | 08:09 |
| [R] | Pluxii: its all automatic | 08:09 |
| Pluxii | as of now that partition is unallocated, shold i leave it that way? | 08:09 |
| [R] | Pluxii: when you install it i'll find your other operating system and automatically allow you to boot into it | 08:09 |

| nafta | say jaunty? | 08:10 |
| newb2linux | Any idean on how to have a minimal install of ubuntu auto boot to a program using X ? ? ______ | 08:10 |
| Pluxii | lovely, thanks all! i'm in my first semester of my ISS degree so i'm trying to learn different OS's, but obviously i'm not terribly good at this yet | 08:10 |
| em056 | why i cant play movies? | 08:10 |
| [R] | nafta: installing old package is only going to help you break your system | 08:10 |
| nafta | I need mysql 4.0.16... | 08:10 |
| Slart | nafta: I'm not sure if the older packages are still kept in the repos or if they are removed once they are replaced by a new version.. but you can always have a look in the old-releases.ubuntu.com repository | 08:10 |
| [R] | nafta: you NEED? | 08:11 |
| nafta | *sigh*.... | 08:11 |
| nafta | yes.. | 08:11 |
| Slart | nafta: but I would suggest compiling it from source instead of using the older package.. they are updated for a reason.. might be a serious reason | 08:11 |
| switch10_ | em056: type this into terminal: sudo apt-get install vlc | 08:11 |
| nafta | is that hard to understnad? | 08:11 |
| em056 | how to activate my compiz? | 08:11 |
| [R] | nafta: so compile it | 08:11 |
| nafta | Slart: hrmm..i spose...thanks a lot man | 08:11 |
| [R] | em056: its under system -> prefs -> appearance | 08:11 |
| nafta | but the compiler is throwing an error....about Linuxthreads | 08:12 |
| Pluxii | thanks again, and hopefully all will go well, if not i'll be back | 08:12 |
| nafta | not been found | 08:12 |
| Slart | nafta: you're welcome.. hope you get it figured out | 08:12 |
| [R] | nafta: sounds like you're not comliing it properly | 08:12 |
| newb2linux | Any idean on how to have a minimal install of ubuntu auto boot to a program using X ? ? ______ | 08:12 |
| Slart | newb2linux: use autologin, put the program in the session part in X | 08:12 |
| Slart | !session | newb2linux | 08:12 |
| ubottu | newb2linux: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 08:12 |

| CraigGB | hi could anyone possibly tell me the latest kernel available in 'intrepid'?, its more compatible with my system and as im using another distro i would like to use that one :), much appreciated | 08:14 |
| Slart | newb2linux: using ubuntu server? | 08:14 |
| newb2linux | Not to sure. | 08:14 |
| newb2linux | Its aXBMCLive | 08:14 |
| em056 | how to install compiz fusion??? because its not yet installed | 08:15 |
| newb2linux | I think its just a minimal jaunty install. | 08:15 |
| kizza | that did not help' | 08:15 |
| [R] | em056: compiz is instlaled by default | 08:15 |
| newb2linux | is there a way I can tell ? | 08:15 |
| kizza | i want to know all the good apps to install | 08:15 |

| Slart | newb2linux: you downloaded the iso from the xbmc site? | 08:16 |
| newb2linux | yep . | 08:16 |

| kizza | what apps do u all use' | 08:16 |
| Andorin | Does anyone here use Exaile? | 08:16 |
| kizza | =) | 08:16 |
| newb2linux | i recently compiled SVN of XBMC | 08:16 |
| iceroot | !anyone | Andorin | 08:16 |
| ubottu | Andorin: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 08:16 |
| newb2linux | sutoboot feature stoped working after that ? | 08:16 |
| Slart | kizza: the popularity contest makes statistics about what packages people have installed.. you won't find a better source of what the community thinks is "good software" than that | 08:16 |
| iceroot | em056: install compiz | 08:16 |
| Andorin | Hehe. | 08:16 |
| newb2linux | I think that the autoboot is setu for XBMC-live and the SVN isnt live . | 08:17 |
| Slart | kizza: of course, you could ask a real sensible question | 08:17 |
| bjorkintosh | is there an ubuntu-annoyances page somewhere? | 08:17 |
| Andorin | I don't really have a technical problem; I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good skins for Exaile, since there aren't many out there. | 08:17 |
| bjorkintosh | i can't seem to find one. | 08:17 |
| em056 | then? | 08:17 |
| kizza | slart: whats that question | 08:17 |
| kizza | lol | 08:18 |
| Slart | !lol | kizza | 08:18 |
| ubottu | kizza: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 08:18 |
| newb2linux | use LULZ. | 08:18 |
| Slart | kizza: there is an offtopic channel for the kind of stuff you're asking.. try it | 08:19 |
| rootlinuxusr | /b/ is that way >> | 08:19 |
| LLStarks | hi. how do i unlink an accidental "open with"? | 08:19 |
| rootlinuxusr | Also, how can I change the menu text color in 9.04? | 08:19 |
| Slart | LLStarks: right click on a file, select properties. I think there is something in there somewhere | 08:19 |

| Slart | !vm | mralexandro | 08:19 |
| kizza | how do i use aircrack-ng | 08:19 |
| ubottu | mralexandro: 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 | 08:19 |
| Andorin | rootlinuxusr: Have you poked around Preferences --> Appearance, Customize button, Colors tab? | 08:19 |
| em056 | what will i do when i use my virtual box my cd drive and usb are cannot be detected on my windows os on virtual box | 08:19 |
| newb2linux | slart: do you have any understanding on how autoboot works ? | 08:19 |
| Slart | kizza: you read the documentation on their site.. this channel won't help you with it | 08:20 |
| LLStarks | thanks | 08:20 |
| Slart | newb2linux: autoboot? can't say I do.. sorry | 08:20 |
| mralexandro | Slart, there must be one that is the most stable right? :P | 08:20 |
| newb2linux | Thanks . | 08:20 |
| rootlinuxusr | Yeah I have, I've changed all of them - nothing seems to change them | 08:21 |
| Slart | mralexandro: I wouldn't really know.. I've only used virtualbox, which works nicely for me.. I run some MS systems on that.. and a couple of ubuntu systems | 08:21 |
| Apollo2366 | Hey, guys. Say I have an .iso file of a DVD movie that I'd like to watch without burning said file to a dvd. I installed an image mounting program, but I still have a question. Is there any specific place that I need to mount the image to watch the movie? Thanks in advance. | 08:21 |
| em056 | what is the best software to use for having another operating system like wine? | 08:21 |
| [R] | Apollo2366: any where you want | 08:21 |
| rootlinuxusr | virtualbox? | 08:22 |
| [R] | Apollo2366: but i know like mplayer supports playing an .iso directly | 08:22 |
| switch10_ | Apollo2366: vlc will play it directly | 08:22 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| mralexandro | Slart, ok i apreciate your help. do you remember if virtualbox let you add usb "slot" for the virtual machine, so that it would be excactly like having it in the virtual machine? | 08:22 |
| em056 | but what is the easiest to use? | 08:22 |
| Slart | em056: wine isn't an emulator.. you might want to try virtualbox.. but it's a different beast compared to wine | 08:22 |
| Apollo2366 | [R], switch10_, thanks guys | 08:22 |
| tyoc | how do I delete an old kernel after an update to a new kernel? | 08:22 |
| em056 | what is the use of wine? | 08:23 |
| Slart | mralexandro: if you download the install package from the virtualbox website it does... the one in the repos is the OSE version.. that means no usb and possibly some other small differences | 08:23 |
| switch10_ | !wine | 08:23 |
| ubottu | 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 | 08:23 |
| em056 | how about vmware? | 08:23 |
| mralexandro | alright Slart thanks:D | 08:23 |
| Slart | em056: to run windows binaries on a linux system.. there is no emulation or such | 08:23 |
| poiuy | I'm running jaunty (9.04) 64 bit version. I'm compiling some c source files. Is there anything I should know in regards to this? For example, I do a 'printf("%lu", sizeof(int));' which returns 4...shouldn't it be 8? | 08:23 |
| mralexandro | same with vmware too right? | 08:23 |
| [R] | em056: vmware is a virtualization environment | 08:23 |
| rootlinuxusr | Does Awn have an IRC channel? | 08:23 |
| Slart | em056: vmware does the same thing as virtualbox.. neither is useful for running games, if that's the plan | 08:24 |
| rootlinuxusr | Need some halp setting up the water ripple effect with awn. | 08:24 |
| [R] | poiuy: no | 08:24 |
| rogst | em056: In my opinion Virtualbox has better performance for running 1 or 2 machines on your desktop computer the vmware | 08:24 |
| switch10_ | rootlinuxusr: isn't that a compiz effect? | 08:24 |
| mralexandro | Slart, not at all | 08:24 |
| Dulak | poiuy: the memory space is doubled, not the size of a language type | 08:24 |
| em056 | why doesnt virtual box cant be use in gaming? | 08:25 |
| [R] | poiuy: an int * would be 8 | 08:25 |
| switch10_ | em056: to slow | 08:25 |
| SnaX | How the F do i get to my desktop when in Terminal | 08:25 |
| [R] | em056: 3d isn't very good in virtualbox | 08:25 |
| poiuy | [r], dulak, shouldn't int's be size of the word length of the computer? | 08:25 |
| [R] | SnaX: huh? | 08:25 |
| Slart | em056: graphics performance.. they still emulate a graphics card, sound card etc.. that takes power | 08:25 |
| switch10_ | SnaX: starts | 08:25 |
| The_Warlock | why is my xinitrc not read when my system boots? i am using jaunty | 08:25 |
| [R] | poiuy: they don't have to be | 08:25 |
| csaba | SnaX: ctrl+f& | 08:25 |
| csaba | f7 | 08:25 |
| Slart | mralexandro: huh? | 08:25 |
| rogst | em056: Well there is an option in virtualbox to enable 3D acceleration in the virutal machine, but I dont know how good it is yet | 08:25 |
| switch10_ | SnaX: startx | 08:25 |
| mralexandro | Slart, you said if gaming was the plan, i replied not at all:D | 08:25 |
| Slart | mralexandro: ahh =) | 08:26 |
| mralexandro | but if your bios support hardware virtualisaton, shouldnt it then let you use your graphic card better? | 08:26 |
| em056 | ok | 08:26 |
| SnaX | Im in ubuntu. i am in the graphic interface and all | 08:26 |
| poiuy | [r], dulak, thanks | 08:26 |
| SnaX | but i open terminal from Accessories | 08:26 |
| SnaX | but how do i navigate in terminal to the desktop. | 08:26 |
| Slart | rogst: not very good at all =/ but it's a start I guess | 08:26 |
| mralexandro | rogst, how do you think it is in vmware compared ? | 08:26 |
| SnaX | im switching over from windows. so its all basically new to me | 08:27 |
| [R] | SnaX: the desktop is in /home/blah/Desktop | 08:27 |
| em056 | do i still install my nvidia driver? for my vcard? | 08:27 |
| tyoc | dpkg -P is the same than in synaptic select "uninstall completely"? | 08:27 |
| Dulak | Snax: ~/Desktop should work | 08:27 |
| Slart | mralexandro: i don't think so... I think the virtualbox people even says their implementation is faster than using the hardware supported extensions | 08:27 |
| The_Warlock | doesnt jaunty need an xinitrc or xsession? | 08:27 |
| Trijntje | Snax: cd Desktop is the exact command. You can type `man cd` to read the manual of the cd command | 08:27 |
| rogst | mralexandro: Vmware does not have 3D acceleration in hte virtual machines, expect in Vmware Fusion for Mac | 08:27 |
| Dulak | The_Warlock: it doesn't need it, it will let you use system default sessions, or you can force a session with xsession | 08:28 |
| Slart | em056: in virtualbox? no.. the virtual machine will have an emulated graphics card.. of some other generic brand.. same thing with network cards, sound cards etc | 08:28 |
| SnaX | ah worked. thanks large! | 08:28 |
| mralexandro | Slart, rogst so you guys are saying virtual pc softwares are more developed in mac and pc world? | 08:28 |
| mralexandro | for now.. | 08:28 |
| mralexandro | ? | 08:29 |
| Dulak | Didn't the new virtualbox make a big thing about 3d accelerated graphics? | 08:29 |
| Slart | mralexandro: I have no idea.. I haven't tried virtualbox or vmware on a windows/mac machine | 08:29 |
| em056 | but when i try it it cant detect my usb and cd drive..... what maybe the problem | 08:29 |
| Slart | mralexandro: but I don't think there is much of a difference | 08:29 |
| The_Warlock | Dulak: i am using some configs for my urxvt which i need to be loaded at startup | 08:30 |
| mralexandro | Slart, ok:) guess i can check it out on all of them, it could be my new blog article. ill check it out guys | 08:30 |
| Bilbo_Baggins | I'm assuming Mr. Warlock....but Don't you have a Xsession running? Gnome / KDE / etc... maybe this site will help.... http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/a802.html | 08:30 |
| mralexandro | but only two! vmware and virtualbox | 08:30 |
| mralexandro | thats it, unless there is one i should try as well | 08:30 |
| rTk^cool | ok i f'd up bad | 08:30 |
| Dulak | mralexandro: on my mac I play wow under parallels and I get decent fps | 08:30 |
| rTk^cool | very very bad, i need help im on my phone | 08:31 |
| switch10_ | em056: u have to set it up in settings. There are 2 different versions of virtualbox. The one from their website supports USB | 08:31 |
| Evelina | I have problem getting rtcwake work. When I run it like: sudo rtcwake -s 120 nothing happens. | 08:31 |
| mralexandro | Dulak, well i have played age of mythology in wine so:) everything works i guess:) | 08:31 |
| rogst | mralexandro: They are not more developed, Vmware's enterprise product is still for pc, but their desktop product for Mac Vmware Fusion allows the virutal machine to use the graphics card for 3D | 08:31 |
| em056 | it that the latest one? | 08:31 |
| switch10_ | em056: sure | 08:31 |
| Evelina | When I use sudo rtcwake -s 120 -m mem the computer suspend and then restart but without showing the desktop. | 08:31 |
| rTk^cool | i was partitioning my hard drive and i didnthave a cd burner in for the ubuntu iso..and i tried to plug one in and it shrted the circuit lol | 08:31 |
| switch10_ | em056: 3.0 is the latest | 08:32 |
| nafta | anyone know how can i force the dpkg -i to stop trying to meet the dependencies? | 08:32 |
| Evelina | ...and sudo rtcwake -s 120 -m disk restart but stop at the progress bar where Ubuntu loads. | 08:32 |
| rTk^cool | now i get interrupted operation insert recovery cd or other recovery media | 08:32 |
| mralexandro | rogst, so you are saying no point of even testing the 3d feature? after what dulak says i kind of get the feeling something is under development? | 08:32 |
| rTk^cool | i dont have a windows cd or a ubuntu cd or a recovery cd.. | 08:32 |
| rTk^cool | can someone please help me | 08:32 |
| Evelina | Why does rtcwake stop working? | 08:32 |
| em056 | i think wine is very difficult to use because it have many commands to type to open windows app... what can you say | 08:32 |
| Dulak | mralexandro: the newest version of virtualbox claims 3d accelleration, I have not played with it at all yet | 08:32 |
| rTk^cool | Please! | 08:33 |
| rTk^cool | anyone have an idea | 08:33 |
| SnaX | what.. i cant get this thing to install | 08:33 |
| Slart | mralexandro: the 3d feature is being developed.. last year it didn't even exist.. now it's an experimental feature in virtualbox, at least... who knows.. perhaps in a year or two we'll have full hardware acceleration =) | 08:33 |
| FlashGordon2000 | k | 08:33 |
| mralexandro | rTk^cool, what os are you in now? | 08:33 |
| rTk^cool | myphone | 08:33 |
| rTk^cool | android lol | 08:33 |
| rogst | mralexandro: I have not tried how good the 3D acceleration is in virtualbox so that one could be worth a try, but since vmware's products for pc dont offer that functionallity (yet at least) its hard to try :D | 08:33 |
| rTk^cool | my computer wont start | 08:33 |
| switch10_ | rTk^cool: dude you might be sol. U r gonna need a live cd. | 08:34 |
| moymoy | rTk^cool: you're typing pretty fast on your phone | 08:34 |
| rTk^cool | i have a keyboard | 08:34 |
| switch10_ | I'm on my phone | 08:34 |
| rTk^cool | wtf. | 08:34 |
| Bilbo_Baggins | If your comp will not start...You may have burnt the board by trying to plug in a drive while it was running. | 08:34 |
| mralexandro | Slart, :D that would be cool, but i think it will take more time, first they will have to fix the feature so that it can be optimized be supported hardware, that is supported from the "root"(bios":D | 08:34 |
| rTk^cool | dont say that. | 08:34 |
| rTk^cool | it starts i just get an error | 08:35 |
| Bilbo_Baggins | Kk, then there is something to work with. | 08:35 |
| rTk^cool | i was partitioning my hd | 08:35 |
| mralexandro | rTk^cool, only computer in house? | 08:35 |
| rTk^cool | then i shrted the circuit | 08:35 |
| rTk^cool | now i start up and it saysinterrupted operation | 08:35 |
| switch10_ | rTk^cool: man I bet it's just the hard drive then | 08:36 |
| Slart | mralexandro: I'm not actually sure they are aiming for the full thing.. just having accelerated graphics would be a big advantage.. sound cards, network card and other stuff isn't so important... they might even just be aiming for ati and nvidia cards and ignoring the rest.. but even that would be a big thing | 08:36 |
| rTk^cool | well my bitchass step mom has a pw on hers | 08:36 |
| rTk^cool | it wont let me get into system recovery | 08:36 |
| em056 | is there a block file in ubuntu??? | 08:36 |
| Slart | mralexandro: but this is getting offtopic for #ubuntu , go try the 3d acceleration stuff in virtualbox.. don't expect to much though | 08:36 |
| rTk^cool | i have two hard drives in this computer | 08:36 |
| Madpilot | rTk^cool, language, thanks. Also, trying to hotpllug a drive = not too clever... | 08:36 |
| rTk^cool | both with windowsxp | 08:36 |
| mralexandro | Slart, yup i guess.. but that is a feature i think needs to be supported form bios | 08:36 |
| gamla_kossan | hi people. anyone have a clue where I can find the logs for networkmanager? | 08:36 |
| mralexandro | Slart, ok i will stop that discussion:D | 08:36 |
| rTk^cool | lol yeah i am an idiot | 08:37 |
| switch10_ | rTk^cool: try to boot from other drive | 08:37 |
| rTk^cool | i did | 08:37 |
| Slart | gamla_kossan: it might just log its stuff to the syslog.. if there is a log it's probably somewhere in /var/log/ | 08:37 |
| rTk^cool | one says no boot foundor whatever | 08:37 |
| mralexandro | rogst, will try it in ubuntu first then,,, | 08:37 |
| rTk^cool | the othersaya interrupted operation | 08:37 |
| rTk^cool | this sucks | 08:38 |
| gamla_kossan | Slart: thanks, but I've already checked messages and well whatever I can think is even half reasonable unde r/var/log/ :/ | 08:38 |
| rTk^cool | i knew ubuntu was a bad idea tonight | 08:38 |
| em056 | because when i install ubuntu then i try to format it to windows my PC is keep on restarting but when i try to install again ubuntu it stop restarting.... what may be the problem? | 08:38 |
| gamla_kossan | Slart: you wouldn't happen to have used the openvpn-plugin for netowrkmaanager? | 08:38 |
| Slart | gamla_kossan: there isn't a configuration option for logging in the network manager? | 08:39 |
| switch10_ | rTk^cool: always have a few live CDs around in the future | 08:39 |
| Slart | gamla_kossan: nope.. never messed with vpn.. sorry | 08:39 |
| rTk^cool | yeah | 08:39 |
| mralexandro | Slart, rogst not to be off topic, but the virtualbox has a driect line to download spesific package of latest version for the three latest ubuntu versions!:D | 08:39 |
| mralexandro | thats coool | 08:39 |
| rTk^cool | can I get some from a computer store for free? or from best buy? | 08:39 |
| moymoy | rTk^cool: does your stepmom use the Administrator account? or does she use a separate account? (i'm assuming she uses windows) | 08:40 |
| Slart | mralexandro: yes.. I use them myself..works great | 08:40 |
| nah-o | I know this isn't the right channel to ask but I'm hardware illiterate and I couldn't find a proper channel so I'll go ahead, I've removed the left side case of my pc (pentium q6600) and the temps are like 10C lower even though the case has a fan attached to it, is there any use for that fan ? Also is it a good idea to leave the computer without the left side case attached ? | 08:40 |
| rTk^cool | only one account which is the admin | 08:40 |
| switch10_ | rTk^cool: ubuntu is a live cd | 08:40 |
| Dulak | nah-o: it won't hurt anything, one of my computers has always run hot and I've left the side off for over 2 years now without any problems, except a bit more dust inside there than normal. | 08:41 |
| Slart | nah-o: yes, offtopic.. #hardware might be better.. .. but if you count out pets, small children and so on, I don't think there is a problem with having the case open.. it might look ugly though and get a bit dusty in there.. but what computer doesn't get dusty | 08:41 |
| rTk^cool | I know can I get one from a store or only downloaded or offline | 08:41 |
| switch10_ | rTk^cool: download ISO and burn to disk when you can | 08:41 |
| rTk^cool | that's what I was. doing | 08:41 |

| [R] | Kartagis: what are you doing? | 09:05 |
| [R] | what do yuou mean it "goes back" | 09:05 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr: hmm.. are you sure? try changing up the numbers... i only have 'Gnome-panel' , 'PopupMenu' entries... and my menus are transparent | 09:05 |
| Slart | Kartagis: or simply use the full path.. that might work too | 09:05 |
| Kartagis | [R], when I type rm -rf \~ and hit Tab, it is completed to /home/username | 09:06 |

| J | Hello | 09:11 |
| Keranu | I've tried installing Ubuntu with Windows XP many times and I end up either being able to boot up straight to XP with no sight of Ubuntu or I'll be able to boot up GRUB but when I click on XP, it gives me error 21 (selected disk does not exist, I think) | 09:11 |
| rootlinuxusr | install xp first then reinstall ubuntu? | 09:12 |
| rootlinuxusr | @moymoy http://rootlinuxusr.com/images/Screenshot.png | 09:13 |
| moymoy | Keranu: is that possible? if you can boot into GRUB, then GRUB should have already written over the MBR, but it seems like you have two loaders loaded in the MBR? | 09:13 |
| Keranu | I tried installing Grub from the Ubuntu installer on every possible path when I made partitions for Windows XP and Ubuntu on the same hard drive | 09:13 |
| Keranu | Now I am trying to install Ubuntu on my second hard drive instead | 09:13 |
| Keranu | When I tried this, I installed Grub to (hd1), but now when I try to boot my system, it says Grub Hard Disk Error | 09:13 |
| CraigGB | hi, if i downloaded the kernel source for a ubuntu kernel would it already be mostly preconfigured without copying a .config file across?? | 09:13 |
| rootlinuxusr | Settings as they stand. maybe there's a different name for gnome-panel? | 09:13 |
| [R] | Keranu: you shoudl install grub to your first rrive | 09:14 |
| [R] | drive* | 09:14 |
| CQ | Keranu look in /boot/grub/menu.lst and see if everything there is correct for XP. Google that, and you'll find a lot of help | 09:14 |
| Pluxii | hello, i seem to have a problem after installing, i created a 50gb partition for this to install to, and i let it select where it was installing, long story short somehow it missed it's mark and i only have 96mb of free space, how do i uninstall and try again? | 09:14 |
| rootlinuxusr | Just run through the install again? | 09:15 |
| Pluxii | will that uninstall this installation? | 09:15 |
| kdub | Pluxii: it will. you can also use gparted to resize partitions | 09:16 |
| Kartagis | fortunately I removed it, and none of my crucial files were removed | 09:16 |
| rootlinuxusr | If you set it to delete the partition. | 09:16 |
| kdub | Pluxii: run gparted from a live cd though, if you need to change the size of the root partition | 09:16 |
| Keranu | At this point I am running the live CD and reformatted the second hard drive that I installed Ubuntu on but I'm still getting the Grub Hard Disk Error | 09:16 |
| Keranu | Luckily I can still access my Windows files, so I'll have those backed up before I try anything else | 09:16 |
| Pluxii | hmm' | 09:16 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr: hmm .. try changing 'Gnome-panel' to 'class=Gnome-panel' | 09:16 |
| yaboo | can anyone recommend me what is good webcam software to take images on ubuntu | 09:16 |
| Pluxii | so pop in the live CD while the os is up? | 09:17 |
| CQ | Keranu: playing with grub shouldn't kill anything | 09:17 |
| [R] | yaboo: cheese... i'm pretty sure its installed by default... | 09:17 |
| Pluxii | to run the gparted? | 09:17 |
| rootlinuxusr | =] that's better. Now just to perfect it | 09:17 |
| moymoy | Pluxii: there's no such thing as uninstalling an OS .. all you have to do is delete the partition and start over =] | 09:17 |
| Pluxii | i see i see =) thanks much | 09:18 |

| callum_ | Hi everyone - just wondering im trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 I think PPC Version to my IMAC G4 and when i load disk it says a bunch of junk and press enter or type live video=off only | 09:25 |
| CraigGB | actually, would a a debian config work? | 09:26 |
| callum_ | I press enter and it sits on a black screen, but first goes to a white screen and loads some graphic thing. | 09:26 |
| moymoy | Machtin: the installation was probably handled by the package management system... so using the system's package manager should remove it... just remove it in synaptic | 09:26 |
| kdub | CraigGB: if you arent developing, or getting some bleeding edge hardware to work, i'd stick with the distro's kernel | 09:26 |
| Machtin | uh.. hm. | 09:26 |
| em056 | why my compiz fusion is not working | 09:26 |
| em056 | ? | 09:26 |
| moymoy | em056: be specific. did it STOP working? or has it never worked before? | 09:27 |
| em056 | never worked before... i already check some effects but nothing happens | 09:27 |
| CraigGB | kdub: the distros kernel doesn't work basically, wheras i been using the ubuntu one for some time and it works perfectly :) | 09:27 |
| moymoy | em056: what video card do you have? | 09:27 |
| em056 | nvidia riva tnt2 | 09:28 |
| moymoy | em056: is that card capable of 3D? there might be a driver for you.. lemme send you the driver page | 09:28 |
| Machtin | moymoy: i removed and reinstalled it via aptitude.. and the new version does exist, but is not used.. the old version is used instead | 09:28 |
| Machtin | and there is no old version to remove in my package manager. | 09:29 |
| moymoy | em056: nvidia.com/object/unix.html see if your card is supported by one of these drivers | 09:29 |
| rob__ | Just let you all know that i found two fixes for Nvida Gforce 6 6200 series cards and Glx | 09:29 |
| rob__ | on ubuntu 9.04 | 09:29 |
| kdub | rob__: probably better to describe them in a bug report, or at least put them on ubuntu-forums | 09:30 |
| moymoy | Machtin: do you still have the source? have you tried 'make uninstasll'? | 09:30 |
| Machtin | i dont :/ | 09:30 |
| rob__ | 1st dont use Envy N , download 185 driver from Nvida | 09:30 |

| pup | apple: are you using a CRT? try degaussing! | 09:49 |
| _Apple_ | yeah, I'm running my LCD as a secondary display | 09:50 |
| _Apple_ | and finally got it to display at the proper resolution | 09:50 |
| _Apple_ | (running separate X) | 09:50 |
| callum_ | ew | 09:50 |
| kdub | pup: it is possible, you just have to know its IP address. :P | 09:50 |
| adhil | hi there, am using ubuntu 9.04.. my wifi was working perfect. but now when i click the network manager aplet it is showing under wireless networks device not managed. can anyone know how to fix this problem? | 09:50 |
| Slart | !repeat | adhil | 09:51 |
| ubottu | adhil: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 09:51 |
| pup | kdub: but what if the other terminal is on dhcp? i'll never know it's global ip | 09:51 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, every thing is in colour until Nvidia Loads then it goes to a tinted blue everything is blue and I just can't seem to get it to change | 09:51 |
| adhil | Slart, ubottu am sorry.. i have a fluctuating net connection.. i thought my msg doesnt reached | 09:52 |
| _Apple_ | it's running off an S-vid to Component | 09:52 |
| echosystm | anyone here used UNetBootin | 09:52 |
| echosystm | ? | 09:52 |
| Slart | adhil: no worries | 09:52 |
| EugenMayer | after installing pulse audio chooser to get working my to soundcards ( Headset and Onboard ) working properly, i can see a server or sink / source devices. Any idea? | 09:52 |
| pup | adhil: since when did this happen? did u change any settings? | 09:52 |
| Slart | _Apple_: hmm.. never heard of anyone with this problem.. let me google a bit.. I'll let you know if I find anything | 09:52 |
| kdub | pup: are you trying to ssh into a computer over the internet, or to one on a LAN | 09:53 |
| pup | the internet... | 09:53 |
| adhil | pup i noticed that problem this morning.. i dont know what happened.. my brother used the machine | 09:53 |
| pup | kdub: the internet | 09:53 |
| _Apple_ | good luck.. I've been googleing for hours lol, but I would be what you call a "noob" in the linux world :p | 09:53 |
| pup | adhil: so you are unable to detect the wireless network now... | 09:53 |
| Slart | _Apple_: is this the same problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-450734.html | 09:54 |
| kdub | pup: you can use a service called dyndns to associate the dynamic IP with a url. | 09:54 |
| confusious | hmmm am i still here ? | 09:54 |
| kdub | pup: your router must support it, most do | 09:54 |
| confusious | hmmmmmm guess i'm still here | 09:54 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, YES it's so friggin annoying | 09:55 |
| pup | kdub: is it similar to what no-IP dot com gives me? | 09:55 |
| confusious | howdy do everybody | 09:55 |
| _Apple_ | it's a little brighter though | 09:55 |
| adhil | pup no. actually i use a ad hoc network to ssh to my iphone | 09:55 |
| grawity | pup: I think no-ip.com does almost the same as dyndns.com | 09:55 |
| confusious | well,at least I know this works for now | 09:55 |
| _Apple_ | but essentially the same | 09:55 |
| joejc | how do i search a bunch of files for some text? | 09:55 |
| kdub | cat file.txt | grep 'searchterm' | 09:56 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| pup | kdub: grawity: ok i did registered no-IP thing. now can i use ubuntu's remote desktop agent? how? | 09:56 |
| popey | Where is it set in gnome that /home/$USER/Desktop is where the Places -> Desktop links to? A friend of mine has managed to drag his desktop icon to /home/$USER/Music/Arctic Monkeys/Desktop, he has a /home/$USER/Desktop, but it doesn't link to the places thing. Any ideas? | 09:56 |
| kdub | joejc: or, just use grep | 09:56 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, but it's just the LCD, I took a screen of the LCD and it shows up fine on the comp monitor | 09:56 |
| Slart | joejc: or just grep 'searchterm' filename | 09:56 |
| joejc | how? | 09:56 |
| alicia | .......... | 09:56 |
| Shtl | all my desktop icons and fonts are looking blurred, can any one help me to rectify??? | 09:57 |
| joejc | i want to search a bunch of files | 09:57 |
| === alicia is now known as Guest54903 | ||
| Slart | _Apple_: mm.. I'm guessing it's because you're using svideo output.. perhaps there are some configuration settings you can add in xorg.conf ? | 09:57 |
| pup | Shtl: try autoset option on your Lcd | 09:57 |
| kdub | joejc: grep PATTERN * | 09:57 |
| Slart | joejc: man grep will tell you about all the options you have | 09:57 |
| pup | Shtl: or auto-image adjust | 09:57 |
| joejc | thanks | 09:57 |
| Slart | joejc: but grep is the tool you want, definately | 09:57 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, I've played with some stuff | 09:57 |
| moymoy | em056: you there? | 09:57 |
| nyaa | Shtl try going into System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts, and changing the rendering.. for lcd's using subpixil smoothing is generally the best | 09:58 |
| _Apple_ | I don't know a whole lot about what Im doing int here >< | 09:58 |
| iwobbles | whats a good app to play dvds ? whats the stuff about permissions, Ive read the faqs and all that but I cant work it out,, | 09:58 |
| Slart | _Apple_: I'm not sure anyone does =) | 09:58 |
| koshari | iwobbles tried VLC? | 09:58 |
| moymoy | Shtl: what kind of monitor do you have? | 09:58 |
| iwobbles | ce VLC koshri ? | 09:58 |

| _Apple_ | Slart, I've picked that up...lol | 09:58 |
| Slart | _Apple_: there might be some stuff here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ComponentOut | 09:58 |
| Shtl | moymoy: its LCD AL1702W | 09:58 |
| _Apple_ | anything specifically you might recomend? | 09:58 |
| koshari | iwobbles you should | 09:58 |
| iwobbles | vis synaptic ? | 09:58 |
| iwobbles | via I mean | 09:59 |
| koshari | iwobbles *tick* | 09:59 |
| iwobbles | ok ta | 09:59 |
| Slart | _Apple_: check the tv out options.. that's where I would start | 09:59 |
| _Apple_ | done that | 09:59 |
| moymoy | Shtl: do what nyaa suggested.. i was going to say the same thing | 09:59 |
| Slart | _Apple_: things like "TVStandard" and such | 09:59 |
| _Apple_ | ?? | 09:59 |
| adhil | pup i tried to connect broadband net through wifi yesterday at my friends home..i run pppoeconf. whether that make any probs? | 09:59 |
| _Apple_ | my bad I thought you ment the LCD's options >< | 09:59 |
| _Apple_ | lol | 09:59 |
| Slart | _Apple_: ah.. no.. in the xorg.conf file you can add options for the drivers, screens and such | 10:00 |
| pup | i never had to do the pppoeconf thing... mine just worked, plugged and played... | 10:00 |
| pup | adhil: i never had to do the pppoeconf thing... mine just worked, plugged and played... | 10:00 |
| justfil | How can I add link to a program to be opened by entering its name (like firefox, vlc, etc..) | 10:00 |
| Slart | _Apple_: things like Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M" | 10:01 |
| * _Apple_ finds no such option in xorg file | 10:01 | |
| pup | justfil: use "cp -s" or "cp -l" | 10:01 |
| adhil | pup oh i see | 10:01 |
| Slart | _Apple_: nope, it isn't there.. but you can add them yourself | 10:01 |
| adasko | helo... how to use more than 4gb of ram on 32bit ubuntu system with nvidia drivers... my concerns is about this drivers... its availible for server kernel in ubuntu? i dont want to compile/install manualy nvidia drivers... | 10:01 |
| pup | justfil: depending on whether u want a soft/hard link | 10:01 |
| odder | !drm | 10:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about drm | 10:01 |
| moymoy | justfil: you mean making a launcher? | 10:01 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, I've been adding stuff for the past few days it's messy in there lol | 10:02 |
| _Apple_ | where might I add this? | 10:02 |
| Slart | _Apple_: google for "xorg.conf nvidia options svideo" you'll find lots of examples.. perhaps one of them works | 10:02 |
| justfil | I'm not shure, moymoy, I mean i want it to open when i press alt+f2 and enter its name | 10:02 |
| _Apple_ | wow that's sad of me lol | 10:02 |
| _Apple_ | it's 2 am over here and I'm running off a few hours sleep as it | 10:02 |
| _Apple_ | is | 10:02 |
| pup | adhil my password is stored in the router, so i don't worry about that too :) | 10:02 |
| _Apple_ | lol | 10:02 |
| fung | anyone here know how I can make a service under /etc/init.d/ autostart? | 10:03 |
| Slart | _Apple_: there probably is some documentation on all of this somewhere.. perhaps on nvidia site.. but I haven't found anything so far | 10:03 |
| pup | justfil: you might want to change the path variable then | 10:03 |
| _Apple_ | neither have I | 10:03 |
| fung | I find it a hassle to have to manually start/stop things everytime I need to reboot | 10:03 |
| moymoy | justfil: oh .. is it a script you wrote? ... binaries/scripts that are put into your PATH are executed when you type their name .. to find out what your PATHs are type in $PATH in the terminal, it should give you a couple of directories, separated by ":" | 10:04 |
| pup | moymoy, i agree :) | 10:04 |
| moymoy | pup: lol took me forever to type that | 10:04 |
| moymoy | pup: nice of you to join in on the fun =] | 10:04 |
| pup | justfil: or u may create a link in the /bin directory which is always there in the PATH | 10:05 |
| Evelina | Why does rtcwake -s 120 -m mem return a black screen when the computer wakes up? | 10:06 |
| moymoy | pup: justfil, i like keeping all of my custom things in my home bin folder... located: ~/bin .. that way, it's separated from all of the system binaries and such, and is organized into one folder | 10:06 |
| pup | moymoy: good idea... | 10:06 |
| Evelina | And why does rtcwake -s 120 -m disk hang when Ubuntu shows the progress bar on startup? | 10:07 |
| moymoy | nfs-kernel isn't recognizing hostnames i put in my exports file.. using IP's work though... but i don't want to have to set static IP's for computers i want to share with =[ | 10:07 |
| Evelina | I can't get my computer to wake up using rtcwake. | 10:07 |
| Evelina | When I try nvram-wakeup then my mobo isn't supported. | 10:07 |
| moymoy | !punctuation | 10:08 |
| ubottu | Punctuation is good, but its overuse hurts readability: Please refrain from adding many ?'s or !'s to the end of your sentences. See also !enter | 10:08 |
| justfil | I'm trying to link Firefox 3.5, i copied the link in /bin, also tried /usr/local/bin but when i type firefox nothing happens | 10:08 |
| pup | Evelina: have you tried a different mode? | 10:08 |
| Wolfie001 | i just had a quick question. any one here know about installing freeside? | 10:09 |
| shaullx | something is wrong..my mouse wheel is not scrolling very got on ubuntu that happend in the last few days | 10:09 |
| pup | justfil: nothing happens? or do you see an error? try that in the terminal.... | 10:09 |
| shaullx | i need to scroll alot more to scroll | 10:09 |
| echosystm | unetbootin doesnt seem to want to work :( | 10:09 |
| echosystm | i select ubuntu netinstall | 10:09 |
| echosystm | and the usb drive ends up empty | 10:10 |
| echosystm | lol | 10:10 |
| shaullx | anyone maybe know what the problem is? | 10:10 |
| em056 | where can i download the latest vmware software??? | 10:10 |
| Evelina | pup: I have tried: sudo rtcwake -s 120 -m mem and sudo rtcwake -s 120 -m standby and sudo rtcwake -s 120 -m disk and -m disk suspend and then startup my computer but Ubuntu hangs showing progress bar and -m mem doesn't show up my desktop at all, only a blank screen. | 10:10 |
| pup | moymoy, isn't it possible to use an alias also? in case i don't want to change my PATH... | 10:10 |
| em056 | hey moymoy | 10:10 |
| Wolfie001 | shaullx mine as the option under system | 10:10 |
| pup | em056: search for a torrent :P | 10:11 |
| Wolfie001 | i think | 10:11 |
| Wolfie001 | let me look | 10:11 |
| em056 | can i direct download it.... i mean im using ubuntu os now | 10:11 |
| shaullx | i use logitech G9 if that metters | 10:11 |
| justfil | it says Cannot find Firefox runtime directory. Exiting. | 10:11 |
| pup | em056: ubuntu supports torrents! | 10:11 |
| em056 | hey | 10:12 |
| Evelina | When I try nvram-wakeup instead then it says my mobo isn't supported. | 10:12 |
| Wolfie001 | shaullx perhaps i was wrong sorry | 10:12 |
| shaullx | :( | 10:12 |
| shaullx | thats anoying i cant scroll like that | 10:12 |
| em056 | please give me a site.... | 10:12 |
| pup | justfil: have u created a link in /home/bin/ ? | 10:12 |
| moymoy | pup: nope.. an alias isn't a file in the PATH, so it's not interpreted by bash or sh ... so typing it in the ALT+F2 prompt won't work... the reason it works in the terminal is because people usually load their aliases into their .bashrc file | 10:12 |
| em056 | what site can i download vmware?? | 10:12 |
| moymoy | em056: hey back? | 10:12 |
| pup | em056: www.torrentz.com | 10:12 |
| em056 | yez | 10:13 |
| Wolfie001 | i just had a quick question. any one here know about installing freeside? | 10:13 |
| Slart | !piracy | 10:13 |
| Evelina | Maybe a graphic card issue? That the progress bar hangs on wakeup? | 10:13 |

| callum_ | hey people im having trouble with my sound | 10:13 |
| moymoy | em056: you can download a virtualbox from the repos | 10:13 |
| justfil | yes, i guess. With cd /etc/firefox ; cp -l ./firefox /home/bin | 10:13 |
| callum_ | when it makes a noise the speakers go all static and fuzzy | 10:13 |
| em056 | moymoy do u know where can i download vmware.... | 10:13 |
| moymoy | em056: you can download a virtualbox from the repos | 10:13 |
| pup | moymoy: oh, ok. but for someone like me who always uses the terminal, it's fine... i never use alt f2 | 10:13 |
| Lollating | Can someone help me ?? | 10:13 |
| em056 | but i think vmware is more efficient to use | 10:13 |
| pup | justfil: are u sure u copied it? are you root? | 10:14 |
| Cryptorchild | where is the application path ex:Program Files in Ubuntu? | 10:14 |

| linux_trojan | I am trying to watch TV on linux, but I keep getting "no device found", and I do have a Hauppauge 1250, so I feel I need to do some kind of "modprobe" but I am not sure how? | 10:21 |
| papul | hi all. am back | 10:21 |
| Aldus | hi. I have a folder ("myfolder") with php files. I created a ftp user (with useradd -d myfolder -G ftp myuser). If I set 755 permissions on myfolder/subfolder, seems like myuser can't change the "subfolder" directory name because of no permissions. If I set 777 I enable writing also for php that I don't want. What am I missing? | 10:21 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, you are a freakin' genius. | 10:21 |
| papul | how do i run midp games on ubuntu | 10:21 |
| linux_trojan | any suggestions? | 10:21 |
| Slart | _Apple_: huh? for suggesting google? go me! =) | 10:22 |
| clank | is there an easy way to have more than one version of a package installed? | 10:22 |
| _Apple_ | lol | 10:22 |
| Evelina | I can't get rtcwake working. I get this message running sudo rtcwake -s 120: rtcwake: wakeup from "standby" using /dev/rtc0 at Mon Jul 13 09:24:06 2009 | 10:22 |
| Slart | clank: afaik, no | 10:22 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, the combination of words is what did it lol | 10:22 |
| papul | how do i run midp games on ubuntu??? | 10:23 |
| Evelina | Is rtcwake restarting immmediately or why do I get that message? | 10:23 |
| Slart | _Apple_: ah.. so what was it? NTSC/PAL? something else? | 10:23 |
| erol | mjj | 10:23 |
| Evelina | wakeup from standby, I havenät even got into the standby mode yet? | 10:23 |
| linux_trojan | I remember once you could go modprobe* and that would work they seem to have changed modprobe | 10:23 |
| _Apple_ | Slart, I realized I had 3 Section "Device" and I added 2 lines to the right one and I was in business lol | 10:24 |
| linux_trojan | anyone know how to modprobe my tv tuner? | 10:24 |
| Slart | _Apple_: sweet | 10:24 |

| doublem | I have a screen resolution problem. I'm using an Envision monitor. the nvidia drivers are installed, and I can set the resolution to 1024x768 without any problem. However, when I reboot, the screen resolution goes back to 640x480. The resolution is correct on the login screen, but after I enter my username and password, I'm back to 640x480. I can run nvidia and reset it to 1234x768 ok, but again, after boot, it's back to 640x480. | 10:28 |
| Slart | doublem: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 10:28 |
| moymoy | doublem: looks like the settings aren't writing to your Xorg.conf ... `sudo su nvidia-settings` (just using sudo won't work, you need to use su) | 10:29 |
| doublem | Slart: Not at the moment. I'm on my laptop which works fine. The problem is with my wife's computer. | 10:30 |
| _Apple_ | stupid question...I need to add a lower resolution to my LCD how might I do this? | 10:30 |
| doublem | moymoy: I'll try that. Thanks. | 10:30 |
| Slart | moymoy, doublem: never use sudo with gui apps... gksudo | 10:30 |

| Slart | _Apple_: you can add MODE lines to your xorg.conf.. | 10:32 |
| doublem | Slart: Thanks for the help. googling was not enlightening. | 10:32 |
| Slart | _Apple_: or rather.. not modelines.. but resolution lines.. | 10:32 |

| justfil | I'm trying to mount ntfs partition at startup, using ntfs-3g so i placed "ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/archive -o force" in Sessions but when i restart nothing happens. | 10:34 |
| Slart | justfil: why not use /etc/fstab? or there are several users on the computer? | 10:34 |
| justfil | I tried fstab but the line that worked in Ubuntu doesnt seem to work in Debian | 10:35 |
| Slart | justfil: and I would use "mount" instead of ntfs-3g... or that command works when you run it from a terminal? | 10:35 |
| Slart | justfil: you're running debian? | 10:35 |
| justfil | yes but in #debian there i find less support | 10:35 |
| ech0s7 | hi | 10:36 |
| ech0s7 | i have a file with this permission: drwxrwx--T, what T stay for ? | 10:36 |
| Slart | justfil: not really an excuse.. the #debian people are usually very good at solving stuff.. but try the command in a terminal first.. if that works you can try putting it in the sessions stuff.. | 10:36 |
| TheShahFactor | I am trying to send a file via bluetooth from Ubuntu to a windows machine | 10:37 |

| rootlinuxusr_ | How do I set it so that network shares and mounted devices do not get shown on my desktop? | 10:44 |

| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: either mount them at /mnt or make directories in /mnt | 10:45 |
| Slart | rootlinuxusr_: or just click a checkbox in gconf-editor | 10:46 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | Why does /mnt make the difference - It's an easy solution, just curious... | 10:46 |
| Unhackmee | Hey, how can i "install" KDE desktop in my ubuntu (gnome) if i have the Kubuntu CD? | 10:46 |
| Slart | rootlinuxusr_: because gnome only checks for mounted drives in /media .. I think it's hardcoded somewhere | 10:46 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | But what if it's a networked drive - how do i mount drives in /mnt then? | 10:47 |
| Slart | rootlinuxusr_: not sure what the rationale behind it is though.. someone thought it was a good idea? | 10:47 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | Eh, it's really not much of an issue, actually a few less keystrokes...was just curious. =] | 10:48 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: you can still mount network drives in /mnt | 10:48 |
| mejobloggs | sorry for asking an apache question, but I can't find anyone to help :( Does anyone know where/what file i create a virtual dir/alias in? | 10:48 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: what kind of network drive is it? ... i'm going to make sure you get helped! | 10:48 |
| Slart | rootlinuxusr_: you can mount network drives whereever you want.. just put them in your fstab.. it's only the point'n'click way that puts them in /media | 10:48 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | so i could edit /etc/fstab or is there a way to mount it via terminal smbmount? | 10:49 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | external maxtor on an ubuntu server. | 10:49 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: you can mount via terminal... use /hostname/sharedfolder i believe | 10:49 |
| [mu]keiserr | btw, with apt-get can i remove all dependancies related to a package when i remove an application installed from apt ??? | 10:50 |
| inpxfx | is there a doctor linux in here | 10:50 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: your server's running ubuntu? Then why not use NFS instead of Samba? | 10:50 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | Okay, well then how would I mount it via NFS? | 10:50 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | I've only used samba. | 10:50 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | same way I'd suppose. | 10:50 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: samba is horrible for nautilus.. (more like nautilus just acts up with samba) | 10:51 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: basically, you need to edit the /etc/exports file on your server and export the paths you want to share over the network | 10:51 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | heh. Im all for easier solutions. | 10:51 |

| Dekko | Hello good people! :) How can I find out which version of Compiz is installed on my Jaunty Jackalope and if there is an update to be had? | 10:52 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: really? does your server have nfs installed? | 10:52 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | that's what I was just about to check xD | 10:52 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | It might not. | 10:53 |
| Slart | Dekko: "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" should do it | 10:53 |
| laeg | why do i have pidgin's regular 'system tray' icon and then an enbelope with a drop down menu containing pidgin? | 10:53 |
| Slart | Dekko: apt-cache policy compiz-fusion or whatever the package is called to see the version | 10:53 |
| moymoy | rootlinuxusr_: sudo aptitude install nfs-server nfs-kernel-server | 10:53 |
| nyaa | Dekko: what feature or thing are you looking for as far as upgrades for compiz? | 10:53 |
| [mu]keiserr | thanks slart | 10:53 |
| Dekko | Thing is I can not get RealVNC server to update the screen if I use Compiz. If I switch it off then it works. | 10:54 |
| rootlinuxusr_ | I've never got vnc to work on a server that had compiz running. | 10:54 |
| Slart | Dekko: that sounds more like a realvnc problem than a compiz problem.. have you tried any other vnc servers? | 10:54 |
| Unhackmee | Hey, how can i "install" KDE desktop in my ubuntu (gnome) if i have the Kubuntu CD? | 10:55 |
| moymoy | Dekko: age old compiz bug... VNC works by detecting breakage in the screen so that it doesn't send images that are redundant to save bandwidth, but compiz doesn't play nice with it | 10:55 |
| Dekko | Slart: Which ones are available? | 10:55 |
| moymoy | Unhackmee: go to your software sources and select your CD as a repository, and install kubuntu-desktop | 10:56 |
| Dekko | Moymoy: Is there a way to force it to update? Its a pain having to switch off the eyecandy just to remote the machine (as I am doing right now) :D | 10:56 |

| aurilliance | mralexandro, lol that doesn't count XD | 10:56 |
| mralexandro | :p | 10:57 |
| moymoy | Dekko: nope, there isn't a way to do it i'm afraid... the only work around is to use another vnc client or disable breakage | 10:57 |
| moymoy | Dekko: but i don't really use VNC .. i prefer to use ssh with X forwarding | 10:57 |
| nyaa | Dekko you could try fiddling in the general options, maybe something like force indepentend output painting? I know there are others | 10:57 |
| Dekko | moymoy: I run RealVNC on Windows, OSX and now Linux box, so would like same system on all machines. :) | 10:58 |
| Dekko | How can I disable breakage? | 10:58 |
| nyaa | Dekko also maybe sync to vblank? | 10:58 |
| Slart | Dekko: well.. there are realvnc, tightvnc, the old vnc and probably lots more | 10:58 |
| Dekko | nyaa: All suggestions are good, but I don't know how to go about doing that | 10:58 |
| Slart | Dekko: I'm not sure which ones are available for both windows and linux though | 10:58 |

| laeg | slart: i could restrict access to all webservices to the local host and whenever i access them only do so through an ssh tunnel | 11:42 |
| Slart | laeg: sounds like a plan.. but I'm sure there are other people in the channel that know more about this than me | 11:42 |
| qe2eqe | laeg, If the -ONLY- way to access program x is through ssh, which verifies that noone is listening and that the client is good... then any security within program x may be overkill. | 11:43 |
| natschil | ysis: I think there might be syntax errors in the code...could you paste dialog.c? bbiab | 11:43 |
| qe2eqe | laeg, oh yeah, there's also #ubuntu-hardened and ##security | 11:43 |
| micah | my firefox browser keeps randomly shutting can anyone tell me how to fix that? | 11:43 |
| ysis | natschil: bbiab? | 11:43 |
| qe2eqe | micah, have you tried a fresh session? | 11:44 |
| micah | whats a fresh session? | 11:44 |
| laeg | Slart, qe2eqe: ty, food for thought | 11:44 |
| natschil | ysis: be back in a bit | 11:44 |
| * natschil is back | 11:44 | |
| ysis | But the code compiles fine on FreeBSD. I'm not feeling like posting the source, because it's my professor's program... | 11:44 |
| qe2eqe | micah, when firefox crashes, and starts again, it tries to restore what you were doing at the time of crash, i.e, your session. | 11:44 |
| micah | yeah ive done that but it keeps closing randomly everytime i go back | 11:45 |
| rick_2047 | i have a t link usb webcam how can i interface it with ubuntu | 11:45 |
| rick_2047 | ? | 11:45 |
| qe2eqe | micah, instead of telling it to restore tabs, you can tell it start new... hm. How randomly? | 11:45 |
| micah | like ill just be using it and all the sudden it will close and i never know when its gonna close or why it just does | 11:46 |
| micah | same with other applications like my movie players and stuff | 11:46 |
| natschil | ysis: I don't know what could be wrong....are you sure exactly that code compiles fine on freeBSD? also, maybe the ubuntu gcc is stricter than the freeBSD one... | 11:46 |
| qe2eqe | micah, did you install any new plugins? is it just firefox that crashes? | 11:46 |
| qe2eqe | micah, tell me more about which apps crash, maybe when they tend to crash? | 11:47 |
| micah | yeah i have installed all the updates but it has been doing this since i have been using ubuntu and no alot of my other applications will close randomly | 11:47 |
| micah | okay, totem, rhythmbox, vlc media player, most my games just about everything at one time or another randomly closes and my games are really slow and lagging | 11:48 |
| ysis | natschil, I try again. | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 11:48 |
| qe2eqe | micah, well, shucks. It sounds like your video driver, or a really, really bad setting somewhere, but prolly the former | 11:48 |
| micah | how do i get an updated video driver? | 11:49 |
| shaullx | nvidia.com | 11:49 |
| qe2eqe | micah, do glxinfo | grep render -- tell me if that says yes. Then do lspci, find out which one is your card, and google that line, minus the system specific bus id (0:0 kind of numbers) | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | why not use the repo, micah | 11:49 |
| qe2eqe | micah, hold on! | 11:49 |
| micah | lol im new to this i dont know what that ment | 11:50 |
| micah | repo? | 11:50 |
| micah | okay ill hold on | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: you use repos when you use apt-get or synaptic | 11:50 |
| grawity | "repositories", actually | 11:50 |
| micah | what? | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | shaullx: what nvidia card does s/he have? | 11:50 |
| qe2eqe | micah, the easy, ubuntu way to try out the proprietary drivers, is to go into your menu, and find the option for hardware drivers. | 11:50 |
| ysis | natschil, on FreeBSD it compiles fine (only some warnings). | 11:50 |
| CyberCen | kevdog | 11:51 |
| ysis | I guess I have to dive into the actual code (It's a pity that I ain't speaking C.) | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga please | 11:51 |
| batfastad | Hi everyone... Link Aggregation or Port Trunking in 8.04 LTS. I've followed this guide (http://blog.brightbox.co.uk/posts/howto-do-ethernet-bonding-on-ubuntu-properly) but I'm getting inconsistent results | 11:52 |
| batfastad | My switch is a Netgear GS724T which supports 802.3ad and my motherboard is a Tyan s5211 with 2 Intel 82573 GbE ports. I assume these ports support 802.3ad trunking because it's pretty recent. Do I need any motherboard/chipset specific Linux drivers to get this going or should it just work by following the above guide? | 11:52 |
| micah | okay im in hardware drivers and it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 11:52 |
| qe2eqe | micah, then you click to accept the funny, non-gpl licenses behind the drivers ubuntu thinks you need, and it's done. If that doesn't work, then do the google the lspci identifier of your card, (open a console, type lspci, google the non system specific bits) | 11:52 |
| natschil | ysis: I would try to compare compiler versions as well | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: if you get me the output of the code we can get you some | 11:52 |
| micah | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266].............is the output | 11:52 |

| Sarthor | Hi, there was 2 lan cards in my ubuntu 9.04 i386, (eth0, eth1), i removed one lan card and put other, now my linux gave the name as eth2 to the new lan card, How can i change this eth2, back to eth1, | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | icehawk78: it will boot fine | 11:53 |
| ysis | natschil: How should I compare? I know that on FreeBSD it's gcc 4.2.1 and on Ubuntu it's 4.2.4. | 11:53 |
| oskar- | icehawk78: ubuntu will boot, but perhaps you mainboard not (?) | 11:53 |
| shaullx | any "daemon tools" tool for linux? | 11:53 |
| micah | ActionParsnip then how do i update if its a prosavage? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | shaullx: you can use mount | 11:53 |
| qe2eqe | micah, yes, good! the 0:1:00.0 part wont be googlable, but the last half is perfect | 11:53 |
| oskar- | shaullx: mounting iso file systems ist supported natively | 11:53 |
| micah | okay | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | shaullx: you dont need a tool | 11:53 |
| shaullx | oh ok | 11:53 |
| shaullx | how do i mount | 11:54 |
| shaullx | without a tool | 11:54 |
| micah | i googled that before and i havent been able to find updates for linux | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | shaullx: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso | 11:54 |
| TheStarLion | shaullx: try the 'gmountiso' package | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | shaullx: btw, daemontools has spyware you may want to consider magicdisk ;) | 11:54 |
| TheStarLion | ActionParsnip: that works, but gmountiso provides a clean gtk interface for it that doesn't confuse people | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | TheStarLion: hardly confusing imho | 11:55 |
| icehawk78 | oskar: It's a repurposed headless laptop, and seems to boot with no problems if I have a monitor plugged in, but doesn't appear to ever fully boot without one. | 11:55 |

| Trijntje | How can I add unallocated disk space to a partition inside an extended partition? | 11:55 |
| TheStarLion | ActionParsnip: I was thinking of the people who have trouble with the terminal, or aren't used to such commands | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | TheStarLion: infact its pretty plain english, if ou forget he -o loop the mount command even tells you to put it in | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | TheStarLion: true but it is really good to get used to the terminal | 11:56 |
| oskar- | icehawk78: in many bios settings there is a switch "halt on:", where you can select "no errors" | 11:56 |
| shaullx | with gmount i get this error | 11:56 |

| batfastad | Hi everyone. I'm having trouble getting port trunking / link aggregation working following this guide (http://blog.brightbox.co.uk/posts/howto-do-ethernet-bonding-on-ubuntu-properly). Do I need to install the proper Intel Ethernet drivers for the 2 Intel 82573 network sockets? Or should it just work without installing any chipset/motherboard specific drivers? | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: you can also specify settings for mice / keyboards there that HAL may not detect / be able to set | 12:07 |
| micah | okay | 12:07 |
| micah | so do i copy and paste stuff from this text file into my terminal? | 12:08 |
| === selven__ is now known as [mu]keiserr | ||
| qe2eqe | micah, keep in mind ubuntu is based on debian, when looking at that totally outdated hardware chart... | 12:08 |
| micah | qe2eqe whats debian? | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: no, into the text file I told you to open | 12:08 |
| micah | okay im in the text file | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: you will then need to copy quite a lot of text from websites into yours to flesh it out with the right options | 12:09 |
| PORTICI | GAYCAMPANIA | 12:09 |
| micah | okay so i erase stuff on this text file and replace it with what stuff from websites? | 12:09 |
| qe2eqe | micah, Ubuntu is a fork of Debian... they're both full featured linux distributions. You could say 2009 is to ubuntu as 2002 is to debian, but that's a broad analogy.... | 12:09 |
| micah | okay gotcha | 12:10 |
| micah | qe2eqe so with this website what im i looking for on it and what do i click on? | 12:11 |
| qe2eqe | micah, you're looking for who reports what about the video cards compatibility. One way to find a working configuration, is to find someone else who found a working configuration for the same stuff... | 12:12 |
| PORTICI | CIAO | 12:12 |
| micah | okay | 12:13 |
| Mellow_enemy | hd | 12:13 |
| Mellow_enemy | hallo | 12:13 |
| qe2eqe | micah, anyway, you'll see that the PClinuxOS 2007 i586 did a good job with the card, out of the box | 12:13 |
| micah | yes | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: you need to copy the ines that you dont have in each section | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: you need to specify driver which will be the line saying: Driver "savage" as well as a whole host of others | 12:14 |
| Trijntje | mellow_enemy: Hi, there are 1350 people in this room, if they all say hi it would become a mess. | 12:14 |
| Trijntje | its not that they don't like you ;) | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: its going to be near impossible to tell you every line you will need, unfortunately | 12:14 |
| qe2eqe | micah, I say, go ahead and give fixing it the old college try if you want to. But if it seems like it'd be easier, especially if you're the new user you say you are, to migrate to a distro that is known to work for you | 12:14 |
| micah | haha thanks for the help guys but i dont know jack shit about this kinda stuff and its complicated so i will just have a friend come check it out | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: you will need to play and see what you can generate, most of the link I gave is what you need but you can omit all the wacom stuff and anything about ice and keyboards as those are handled by hal | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | micah: no one does initially, its a learning curve you must walk | 12:16 |

| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: depends on how smart you shop ;) | 12:16 |
| qe2eqe | ActionParsnip, shopping smarter means working harder making linux like it. | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: acer aspire one works 100% (including webcam) out of the box with UNR | 12:17 |
| discorpia | Dr_Willis: usually the problems arise when people want to customize. dual head monitors of different dimensions on ati gfx card etc.. the vanilla install usually works without hitches but just isn't enough for advanced users | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | qe2eqe: just use onboard sound, nvidia gfx and atheros 5000X wifi, job done | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | qe2eqe: true its not ideal, but some companys support for linux is better so I support them. If more linux users did then the other compaies would start supporting it to get the revenue back | 12:19 |

| qe2eqe | JPSman, wow, I just don't know C well enough to figure out what's going on with this program, but apparently C has special treatment of newline character. Exactly what /n is made of is a feature set in compiler, whatever your end of line variable is, maybe... " also, the second mode of I/O supported by the C library, no translation is performed, and the internal representation of any escape sequence is output directly." | 13:03 |

| janisozaur | grawity, it's really useful if you type the nickname of the person you talk to, as i just simply ignore the messages that don't highlight | 13:33 |
| confusedBob | coleys, is there a way i can just download the source, rather than the binary using apt? | 13:33 |
| qe2eqe | coleys, well, by law if ubuntu provides the binaries they have to provide the source, so there wouldn't be a need for third party | 13:33 |

| em056 | moymoy... are you there??? | 13:38 |
| aperson | I have a script that I'm running from /etc/network/if-up.d/ that starts a few programs. It starts all but one. I have the display exported and I'm running the programs as my user. anyone have any ideas? | 13:39 |
| em056 | hi | 13:40 |
| icebaer | Hi everyone - I need help with the radeon-driver and a white-screen-of-death. | 13:40 |
| minimec | dduck: I think they patched the jaunty kernel to get rid of that problem. That's Also the reason why they deactivated the <ctlr><alt>backspace command. So they shouldn't be a major problem. | 13:40 |
| coleys | icebaer: ati is evil. Control + alt + f1 | 13:41 |
| icebaer | I was able to circumvent it by uninstalling libgl1-mesa-dri, but now no theme will work correctly. | 13:41 |
| icebaer | coleys: no shit, but unfortunatly I have to live with it for now. ;) | 13:41 |
| minimec | dduck: I am on ext4 on a productive system. | 13:41 |
| uqs | How do I start metacity? | 13:41 |
| bazhang | icebaer, no cursing please | 13:41 |
| coleys | icebaer: =) Feel for ya man =) | 13:41 |
| bazhang | uqs, from compiz? | 13:42 |
| icebaer | everything worked fine, even with the fglrx-driver. But since I deactivated it, I can't get the radeon to work properly as it did before fglrx | 13:42 |
| uqs | bazhang, I'm a novice, please elaborate :9 | 13:42 |
| === CyberNeT is now known as CyberCen | ||
| icebaer | bazhang: sorry, I'll behave. | 13:42 |
| bazhang | uqs, you are using gnome? with compiz (3D effects enabled)? | 13:42 |
| icebaer | I'm even unable to run the server with the vesa-driver. | 13:42 |
| coleys | icebaer: You could try a fresh install, always a safe way =P (Just backup your data) | 13:43 |
| === chaky__ is now known as chaky | ||
| uqs | bazhang, yes I am. Currently Emerald is on though | 13:43 |
| bazhang | uqs, if so then alt f2 metacity --replace | 13:43 |
| icebaer | coleys: not that easy with FDE and dualboot with truecrypt - that would take me about a day. | 13:43 |
| uqs | bazhang, there we go! | 13:43 |
| uqs | bazhang, thank you :) | 13:43 |

| icebaer | coleys: thanks anyway. ;) | 13:44 |
| icebaer | anyone else with a hint where to debug the problem? | 13:44 |
| uqs | bazhang, one mroe thing, is metacity on by default or do I need to add it to startup apps? | 13:44 |

| jrib | amuridi: wfm | 13:45 |
| kaini | amuridi, with the backport modules very well | 13:45 |
| amuridi | wfm? | 13:45 |

| icebaer | amuridi: your welcome | 13:46 |
| icebaer | amuridi: you're welcome (bit rusty with english ;) ) | 13:46 |
| amuridi | does it work with wpa2 by default, or do you have to use wpa_supplicant ? | 13:46 |
| jrib | amuridi: wfm by default | 13:47 |
| icebaer | amuridi: it should work right out of the box, AFAIK | 13:47 |
| jrib | amuridi: (you should just try) | 13:47 |
| Pincy | and with wpa psk? How can i connect when wext crashes and atmel doesnt connect? | 13:47 |
| amuridi | I'm trying to use wpa2 under ubuntu (friends-box) .. edited /etc/network/interfaces and added wireless-key KEY_HERE , saved it, restarted the wlan0 interface, and keep getting no dhcpoffer received. | 13:48 |
| jrib | amuridi: why aren't you just using network manager? | 13:49 |
| amuridi | cause I'm doing it through ssh. | 13:49 |
| icebaer | amuridi: you can forward the x-server to your box | 13:49 |
| jrib | amuridi: why can't your friend just use network manager? | 13:49 |
| icebaer | amuridi: probably easier than with ssh | 13:49 |
| icebaer | amuridi: and your settings might be overriden by network-manager anyways. | 13:50 |
| amuridi | I'm more of a cli guy, and he's currently afk. | 13:50 |
| jrib | amuridi: you want to use network manager | 13:51 |
| amuridi | It's going to be the same thing thou. | 13:51 |
| jrib | amuridi: no it's not, network manager knows about all the kludge that needs to happen for different cards | 13:51 |
| icebaer | amuridi: well, is his box GUI-less or not? | 13:51 |
| coleys | amuridi: Use wicd =) | 13:52 |
| amuridi | jrib: but the machine has a single card :) | 13:52 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick | ||
| jrib | amuridi: I gave up on wpa2 on my laptop manually after messing with it for a few minutes, because it doesn't "just work" like it does with network manager | 13:52 |
| amuridi | icebaer: gnome. | 13:52 |
| jrib | amuridi: so? | 13:52 |
| coleys | amuridi: Ethernet or wifi? | 13:52 |
| Evelina | I changed ACPI setting from S3 to S1 in BIOS and now rtcwake suspend my computer. The problem is that the desktop still stay on. When I used the S3 setting everything suspended but then I couldn't get the desktop back. Why is suspend only working when I use S1 not S3? | 13:53 |
| icebaer | amuridi: Then you should try to use the network-manager through the gui then. I believe that your cli-settings will be overriden by it anyways. | 13:53 |
| icebaer | amuridi: just forward the x-session to your box through ssh. | 13:53 |
| gokhan | hi, my laptop can't boot from cd after some kernel update. does anyone have a solution for this one? | 13:55 |
| amuridi | icebaer: thanks. | 13:55 |

| amuridi | coleys: wifi, and I'm well-aware of wicd. :) | 13:55 |

| amuridi | icebaer: what tool do you use for that? .. xstart? | 13:56 |
| rapha | Can somebody help with recovering GRUB after Windows 7 install? grub-install says "the file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" and I've no idea what to do about it :/ | 13:56 |
| icebaer | amuridi: startx, but you'll have to set some settings first, since the forwarding will be disabled by default. | 13:56 |
| icebaer | amuridi: you'll have to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config first | 13:56 |
| gokhan | icebaer: i know, but i think kernel update couse that problem | 13:56 |
| icebaer | rapha: you'll need a livecd for that - got one nearby? | 13:57 |
| minimec | gokhan: The Bios is loaded before any kernel interaction. You should always be able to access the bios. | 13:57 |
| m_101 | rapha, : boot on live cd, then mount your drive | 13:57 |
| icebaer | gokhan: I couldn't see how. what have you tried to boot from cd? | 13:57 |

| m_101 | and : | 13:57 |
| m_101 | grub-install /dev/drive | 13:57 |
| icebaer | rapha: did you mount the boot-partition and /dev, /proc and /sys correctly? | 13:57 |
| rapha | m_101: that | 13:57 |
| rapha | m_101: that's what gives me "the file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" | 13:58 |

| === josh` is now known as josh| | ||

| icebaer | FatsoJetson{eire: there sometimes are options for that int he BIOS-settings (under USB-Keyboard and -Mouse) | 13:59 |
| gokhan | icebaer: yes, normally i boot like that. but after that update these keys do not work | 13:59 |
| kaini | FatsoJetson{eire, most BIOS have an option to emulate them | 13:59 |
| icebaer | rapha: is the /bios mounted correctly? | 13:59 |

| icebaer | kbrosnan: thx | 14:01 |
| minimec | FatsoJetson{eire: I had that problem once too. The solution for me was simple. I had a 2nd pci USB card inserted in the computer. That didn't work. I had to use the USB ports of the motherboard and even then not all of the ports were working. The front ports of the desktop were not working. | 14:01 |
| mimine | is there a program named avant arriere windows?? | 14:02 |
| icebaer | rapha: ah, sorry. well, you still need /proc, /sys and /dev mounted into the chrooted environment before chrooting. You did that? | 14:02 |

To get out of Moovida after Compiz started, I tried restarting the X-server, both old and new way, and tried Ctrl+Alt+Del (Windows). Somehow, I hibernated the machine.

| qe2eqe | FatsoJetson{eire, read your motherboards manual for where and how to do the clear cmos jumper. (clr_cmos might be silkscreened onto the board, and all you do is move the jumper for about one second and then move it back, making sure everything's unplugged.) | 14:07 |
| qe2eqe | FatsoJetson{eire, anyway, read your motherboard manual if you can, makes that operation super easy/smooth | 14:08 |

I have it working to the point it PXE boots the clients and the fog web UI works but when I boot a client to upload an image from it I get an error saying "Rename failed." and "unable to move /images/dev/{MAC ADDRESS} to /images/{ImageName}" | 14:22 |

| AceKing | bazhang: I did that and this is what is said: iplist.list iplist.list.save | 14:23 |
| qe2eqe | minimec, babamelone , my only idea on the topic is to see how stable it is without encryption, because I imagine hardware crypto is one of the stability issues you can circumvent. Anyways, if it works unencrypted, use a VPN to get around things, if you can. | 14:23 |
| Roland | mobi-sheep, nothing shows up | 14:23 |

| AceKing | bazhang: I know I sound stupid, but do I go to the folder and open it? | 14:24 |
| [Lemmy] | anyone here got a moment for a poor ubuntu newbie? | 14:24 |
| minimec | qe2eqe: Good guess. Maybe I try that once. I will do a WEP encryption too once, just to see if it influences stability. | 14:25 |
| OttifantSir | qe2eqe: I know. Noone is responsibe for a botched job on my computers, and I wasn't asking anyone to become it. I just wanted some reassurance if at all possible. System is up again, and it seems fine. No errors. Thanks for answering me though. | 14:25 |
| bazhang | [Lemmy], ask the channel, all on one line | 14:25 |
| qe2eqe | OttifantSir, I've had that happen internal and external, and I know my external is especially prone to bug up sometimes, and only some of those times the disk is spinning, but it is, and a power cycle fixes it. | 14:25 |
| false | Nevermind on that. | 14:25 |
| [Lemmy] | how/where do i configure different locale for different users in ubuntu? | 14:25 |
| icebaer | Think I got the problem - no windowmanager active. duh... | 14:26 |
| qe2eqe | OttifantSir, replace 'spinning' with 'moving heads' and that's a better statement | 14:26 |
| bazhang | [Lemmy], system administration language support ? | 14:26 |

| [Lemmy] | bazhang, tried that, and that doesnt "do it" on the ubuntu variant i'm using :/ | 14:27 |
| jrib | [Lemmy]: at the login screen, clikc on "options" | 14:27 |
| bazhang | [Lemmy], what variant | 14:27 |
| [Lemmy] | its easypeasy (8.04-based) on an asus eeePC 701 | 14:27 |
| mobi-sheep | Roland: You did install it? | 14:27 |
| qe2eqe | minimec, babamelone, I also resolved wifi stability issues by replacing the firmware on my router, though that can be a risky procedure. | 14:27 |
| [Lemmy] | i can only set one global locale for the whole system, but i want german locale for my useraccount and canadian english for my wife | 14:27 |
| bazhang | [Lemmy], no idea about ubuntu-based; please seek help on their channel and/or forums | 14:28 |
| [Lemmy] | i guess i'll set global to english and put LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 in my .bashrc | 14:28 |

| fredl | does anybody know where gimptool has gone? | 14:29 |
| bazhang | AceKing, those are files or directories | 14:29 |
| mobi-sheep | Roland: Well, do you know what command you want to find the path for? sudo aptitude show sun-java6-jdk will list those packages. | 14:29 |
| mobi-sheep | Roland: Err, sudo isn't necessary. | 14:29 |
| fredl | in gimp 2.6 apparently gimptool is no longer available. | 14:29 |
| babamelone | qe2eqe: my pc can perfectly connect to the ap | 14:29 |
| jrib | [Lemmy]: bashrc wouldn't work anyway for the desktop environment | 14:29 |
| babamelone | only the ndis wrapped interface of my grandpa's notebook doesnt | 14:30 |
| OttifantSir | icebaer: Do you need a compositing manager? If so, MetaCity has an experimental setting for it: gconf-editor -> apps -> metacity -> general -> compositing_manager -> check the box. Or download the unsupported Ubuntu Tweak from www.getdeb.net and find it in Desktop -> Windows -> Enable Metacity's Compositing Feature. Disregard this, if it isn't what you need. | 14:30 |
| minimec | [Lemmy]: You should be able too add languages in the system menu. Then on the login screen each user can choose his language end even his window manager. I see no reason why that shouldn't work. | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | fredl: refresh our memories.. whats gimptool? | 14:30 |
| qe2eqe | babamelone, via wifi? | 14:30 |
| babamelone | after booting the device isnt connected, than i reconnect and internet works | 14:30 |
| [Lemmy] | jrib, you think? i'd say LANG="en_US" should switch ANYTHING to english | 14:30 |
| babamelone | after some time the connection is broken again | 14:30 |
| babamelone | yeah, wifi | 14:30 |
| fredl | Dr_Willis, it's a tool that lets you install script-fu plugins in gimp see http://www.lefinnois.net/aquabouEN.php on how to use it | 14:30 |
| babamelone | ndiswrapper | 14:30 |
| icebaer | OttifantSir: Thanks for the comment, I'll try it | 14:30 |
| jrib | [Lemmy]: nope, but you can try my earlier suggestion... | 14:30 |
| qe2eqe | babamelone, ah, well lord knows, I'm assuming you've tried the not-ndis-wrapped route | 14:30 |
| babamelone | strange about all this is, that the driver always announces to be connected and the if always has an ip | 14:31 |
| [Lemmy] | minimec, thats the problem, choosing a language on the login screen switches the _global_ locale on that system... so it'd be a constant back and forth between locales | 14:31 |
| doublem | Sorry to butt in. Anyone have any ideas on my screen resolution problem? | 14:31 |
| babamelone | whats the not-ndis-wrapped route | 14:31 |
| jrib | [Lemmy]: it should not switch global locale, it should set it in the user's ~/.dmrc | 14:31 |
| Roland | mobi-sheep, aptitude... gives a list of programs and 'which <appname> doesn't locate it | 14:31 |

| SingAlong | bazhang: oh ya right! thanks! I forgot that | 14:32 |

| qe2eqe | babamelone, well, ndiswrapper is for using windows inf to drive the wifi. Often, there's a native linux module for you wifi card. | 14:33 |
| [Lemmy] | minimec, that works that way on easypeasy as well... but what i want is a way to set the locale once per user, then never having to bother again | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | fredl: a quick google says --> it can be obtained installing libgimp2.0-dev, via apt-get or Synaptic. | 14:34 |
| bazhang | AceKing, that was iplist.list or iplist.list.save | 14:34 |
| babamelone | qe2eqe: no, there is no native driver. | 14:34 |
| OttifantSir | icebaer: Header? You mean title-bar on the windows? | 14:34 |
| fredl | Dr_Willis, Hmmm, googling more and more becomes an art in itself I guess :) thanks | 14:34 |
| AceKing | bazhang: iplist.list.save | 14:34 |

| Dr_Willis | fredl: 3rd hit on 'gimptool ubuntu' :) | 14:35 |
| bazhang | AceKing, what about iplist.list | 14:35 |
| mobi-sheep | Roland: /usr/lib/jvm/java-Something. | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | fredl: and that !find gimptool said the same package name :0 | 14:35 |
| mobi-sheep | Roland: Check it and see if you find something. | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !find gimptool | 14:35 |
| ubottu | File gimptool found in gimp-dbg, libgimp2.0-dev, libgimp2.0-doc | 14:35 |
| qe2eqe | babamelone, I'd say test it non encrypted, if that's gravy, do a workaround with that. If not, try searching apt for wifi tools that might be appropriate for testing real connectivity and doing something about it, or maybe a script to restart it when a ping that goes out every 15 seconds fails | 14:35 |
| icebaer | OttifantSir: yeah | 14:35 |
| SingAlong | bazhang: I just connected an IC via a port and while coding the program for it I need to specify the port for it. I did lsusb and I found this "Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC" | 14:35 |
| minimec | [Lemmy]: ok. When I am doing that for a user the first time, it asks me if I want to make the change permanent. Try to switch language for your wife once to german, and then to the other language again. It should ask you that 'permanent' question. | 14:35 |
| SingAlong | Now how do I specicy the port path while connecting? | 14:36 |
| [Lemmy] | jrib, i dont have any idea right now, i'm about one hour drive from the netbook in question... and it is switched off... and i didnt get around to enabling sshd on it yet ;) | 14:36 |

| qe2eqe | babamelone, are you sure? Lots of cards share chips, and are rebrands of other cards... | 14:36 |
| babamelone | there actually is a driver, but only for older kernel versions | 14:36 |
| babamelone | its really strange, everything seems to work fine, despite this connection losses | 14:36 |
| babamelone | if its really connection losses, actually i just cannot ping anything anymore, the device is connected and theres an ip | 14:36 |
| babamelone | i am 100 % sure | 14:37 |
| babamelone | really | 14:37 |
| qe2eqe | babamelone, My router needs a 2.4 kernel to work =) and it works. | 14:37 |
| SingAlong | do I specify /dev/tty6 ? | 14:37 |
| bazhang | AceKing, anything else in /etc/apt/ ? its weird that feisty would show up as its not in any of those | 14:37 |
| babamelone | theres an ubuntu wiki page for this specific if, and it says i have to use ndiswrapper | 14:37 |
| qe2eqe | babamelone, well, I give up. Make sure you have the right version of the inf is my last idea. | 14:38 |
| AceKing | bazhang: there is one that says "sources.list.backup" | 14:38 |

| Cryptorchild | minimec, I've download and install the driver xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.12.99+git20090629.bb04b450-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | or... zlib1g - compression library - runtime | 15:32 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, i just don't know how to reconfigure the X to use this driver | 15:32 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: THat's what I would say ;) | 15:32 |
| Xubuntnoob | frostburn, sorry, what's -i? | 15:32 |
| frostburn | Xubuntnoob, ignore case | 15:33 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: You don't have to, as the Xserver handles everything. | 15:33 |

| jbk` | nvidia drivers problem: Guys, I think that my gfx card might be cursed or something. I've downloaded the newest nvidia drivers and after restarting the X server, the only thing that happens is black screen. I am not even able to ctrl-alt-f1-6 or anything. All I see is just black screen and I have to reboot. | 15:33 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, how to do that? | 15:33 |
| jbk` | And damn, I would love to use nvidia drivers | 15:33 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: So you downloaded that package? | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | jbk`: so the drivers in the repos did or did NOT work? | 15:34 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, yep | 15:34 |
| jbk` | Dr_Willis: did not | 15:34 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: ok. open a terminal | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | jbk`: and your card is a ? | 15:34 |
| jbk` | after installing them I've got a black screen | 15:34 |
| jbk` | nvidia geforce 6600 | 15:34 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, proceed.. | 15:34 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: /cd Desktop | 15:34 |
| StakOver | hi all | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | seems that people always have issues with 6600 and 8600 (or was it 6800) cards.... | 15:34 |
| minimec | sudo dpkg -i xserv<tab> | 15:34 |
| lostson | 6600 that card should work fine with the drivers in the repo's | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | lostson: thats what i was thinking also | 15:35 |
| StakOver | I configure apt-get as like this tutorial: http://hamacker.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/configure-seu-ubuntu-para-usar-proxy-quando-estiver-usando-terminal-apt-get-e-wget/ | 15:35 |
| jbk` | lostson: well, my 6600 seems to be cursed or something | 15:35 |
| jbk` | :/ | 15:35 |
| lostson | yeah its the 8600's and up that are a problem | 15:35 |
| StakOver | but now it won't work | 15:35 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, can't get any completion.. | 15:35 |
| Xubuntnoob | what are the paste rules for this channel? if it's 1 line of code can i paste it? | 15:35 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, any clue? | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | my 8800gtsxxx works good :) | 15:35 |
| bazhang | Xubuntnoob, one is fine | 15:35 |
| jbk` | well, did anyone solve this problem ? | 15:36 |
| Xubuntnoob | thanks :D | 15:36 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: Maybe you stored it in your /home directory... ;) type cd .. | 15:36 |
| jbk` | I tried googling, but didn't find anything out | 15:36 |
| StakOver | synaptic it works... but apt-get don't... | 15:36 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: sudo dpkg -i xserv<tab> | 15:36 |
| Cryptorchild | it's on home dir yes ;) | 15:36 |
| Xubuntnoob | frostburn, would this work? wine eve.exe | grep -i "fixme" > /home/logs/eve.log if i want to ignore the fixme errors and have everything else goto the log? | 15:36 |
| wng-- | I'm having trouble installing ubuntu 9.04 on a RAID1 setup, it doesn't seem to install grub on my disks, after a reboot I get a blinking cursor for a while and then a no bootable devices found, no grub error or anything | 15:37 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, ok proceed... | 15:37 |
| frostburn | Xubuntnoob, if you want to ignore "fix me" use grep -v "fixme" | 15:37 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: Logout/login. That was it ;) | 15:37 |
| Cryptorchild | eeee, that simple | 15:37 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: We will see now, how good that goeas ? | 15:38 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, ok logout now... | 15:38 |
| whileimhere | Bazhang: I found this about that wireless card Linksys - 802.11g Wireless Desktop Card Model: WMP54G | SKU: 5333445 | 15:39 |
| whileimhere | I would love to find a cheaper wireless PCI card but this is about $45.00 USD and that is the best so far I can find | 15:40 |
| wWales | how can i change my updatemanager to look for development releases instead of stable releases (in particular the wine package) | 15:40 |
| bazhang | wWales, add the wine repos | 15:40 |
| bazhang | wWales, help in #winehq | 15:41 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, ok still got the 1024x768 res and still slow in windows | 15:41 |
| UnderSampled | Hi | 15:41 |
| wWales | bazhang: thanks and sorry for wrong channel | 15:41 |
| juiCeppe | what's the name of the german ubuntu channel? | 15:41 |
| bazhang | juiCeppe, #ubuntu-de | 15:41 |
| whileimhere | Any have a suggestion for a wireless PCI card that is Ubuntu safe and under $45.00USD? | 15:41 |
| juiCeppe | thx bazhang | 15:41 |
| UnderSampled | I'm trying to install via the network following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot | 15:41 |
| ^rumput_kering^ | assalamualaikum | 15:42 |
| juiCeppe | whileimhere ... linksys has good ones | 15:42 |
| bazhang | whileimhere, I can't recall the chipset of that card; a quick check on ubuntuforums should tell you chipset (ie not model name) such as ralink, atheros etc | 15:42 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: So Karmik Koala will probably be your friend, as there are lot of changes going on... Are you using HDMI? Try VGA if you can once | 15:42 |
| skellington | hi i deleted my linux partition from inside winxp and now when i try to boot my computer i get grub error 22. my computer wont boot anything from usb, does anyboyd have any ideas whatsoever on what i should do? im dying here. seriously, anything. | 15:42 |
| juiCeppe | whileimhere ... rt73 chipset should work fine with ubuntu | 15:43 |
| UnderSampled | at the step where I am to paste the folder called "pxelinux.cfg", I am not able to because there is already an (empty) file (not folder) with that name | 15:43 |
| Cryptorchild | im on laptop | 15:43 |
| juiCeppe | i bought one right yesterday | 15:43 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: OK. I see. Do you get 3D acceleration and are you using compiz? | 15:43 |
| th0r | skellington: boot the xp install disk, choose recovery mode, and at the prompt type 'fixmbr' | 15:43 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, nope | 15:44 |
| wng-- | I'm having trouble installing ubuntu 9.04 on a RAID1 setup, it doesn't seem to install grub on my disks, after a reboot I get a blinking cursor for a while and then a no bootable devices found, no grub error or anything | 15:44 |
| jbk` | so -> Is there anyone who solved the black screen problem or is it unsolve-able ? | 15:44 |
| UnderSampled | Can I just delete the empty file? If thats so, why is it even there? | 15:44 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: And before you installed the ppa version the last days after your talk. How performance? | 15:44 |
| bazhang | jbk`, with ati fglrx? | 15:45 |
| Cryptorchild | similar to this one | 15:45 |
| twig11 | What's the best way to back up the user data on an Ubuntu 9.04 system I'm going to reinstall from the desktop CD? I have a wireless problem which I'm spent hours on this board trying to solve and I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu since I did have wireless working at one time on this system. Do I just back up the users' home folders to another drive? | 15:46 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, do i have to remove the driver and then install it again? | 15:46 |
| th0r | twig11: yup....just back up the home directory | 15:46 |
| jbk` | bazhang: with nvidia gforce 6600 | 15:46 |
| frostburn | twig11, i've done several migrations that way, back up /home and copy it back after the new install | 15:46 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: I am somehow a victim too of amd/ati support policy, but I can tell you, that karmic koala will probably help both of us. | 15:46 |
| uqs | do I need libdvdcss2 to play DVD's in Ubuntu (in for example VLC)? | 15:46 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: No need. If the driver works, check for updates from time to time ;) | 15:47 |
| bazhang | uqs, should do yes, go to medibuntu.org and follow the instructions there | 15:47 |
| bazhang | jbk`, not sure, how did you install the drivers | 15:47 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, but current performance is too low, even i cannot play movies with normal fps | 15:47 |
| th0r | twig11: if you had put /home in a separate partition you wouldn't even have to do that. Since you are doing a new install consider doing that as well | 15:48 |
| Cryptorchild | and the resolution is only maxed at 1024x768 | 15:48 |
| jbk` | bazhang: using ubuntu's "hardware update" or something like that | 15:48 |
| twig11 | frostburn: th0r: I'm not completely comfortable with the way permissions work; are permissions going to need lots of fiddling with when I reimport the data? | 15:48 |
| jbk` | it offered me a few versions of drivers, so I downloaded the 180 one | 15:48 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, is there a way to override the X to use the driver? | 15:48 |
| klown | I'm getting a mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.2.107:/shares/Main/ trying to mount a NAS, anyone have any ideas how ti fix this issue? | 15:48 |
| bazhang | jbk`, which one was recommended for that card | 15:49 |
| skellington | th0r: can i put the recovery disk on a usb drive> | 15:49 |
| jbk` | 180 | 15:49 |
| th0r | twig11: if you are going to back it up to an ntfs or fat drive probably. If you back it up to an ext3 or ext4 drive then the permissions shoujld be ok | 15:49 |
| th0r | skellington: not that I am aware of...xp requires the cd | 15:49 |
| bazhang | jbk`, and you have run nvidia-settings after a reboot? | 15:49 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: You have to search the net then for your specific card. I don't knos your card. I have a x1250, which starts to be better (even good on media play). www.phoronix.com is a good start. | 15:49 |
| jbk` | yes | 15:49 |
| frostburn | twig11, they may, you may want to copy out your /etc/passwd and take note of the user ids so they'll line up in the new install | 15:49 |
| jbk` | after running nvidia-settings, it overwrites the xorg.conf | 15:49 |
| twig11 | th0r: I actually backed up the two users' home folders individually. And I think it's probably a fat drive. | 15:50 |
| jbk` | and after the overwriting of xorg.conf, I restart the X server, but when I start it again, all I see is a black screen | 15:50 |
| jbk` | and I can't go to any terminal anymore | 15:50 |
| frostburn | jbk`, when that happens, i usually ssh in and restart the service | 15:50 |
| moncky | twig11: I have had to do a chown -R before even thought the username ect were the same, but that in iteself is not a big hassle | 15:50 |
| AJC_Z0 | Standard 9.04 install, recently booted was playing sounds just fine for an hour or so and after a couple of volume changes (master via panel app) has now stopped. All volume settings are on full, but still no sound, Suggestions for (re)starting it? | 15:50 |
| jbk` | frostburn: well, I am able to restart the service, but I have to use the old xorg.conf | 15:51 |
| twig11 | frostburn: you're saying copy all the contents of /etc/passwd and replace the user ids in it after the system's reinstalled? | 15:51 |
| jbk` | with disabled driver "nvidia" | 15:51 |
| jbk` | and enabled driver "nv" | 15:51 |
| frostburn | AJC_Z0, try a sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 15:51 |
| aaronvarghese | im gona kill yafray | 15:51 |
| aaronvarghese | whos with me | 15:51 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, ok thanks for the help | 15:51 |
| Oceanic | AJC_Z0 try typing alsamixer into terminal and see if there is anything on mute | 15:51 |
| moncky | AJC_Z0: have you tried reloading ALSA | 15:51 |
| frostburn | jbk`, how old is the video card? Older cards arent supported by the newer nvidia binaries | 15:52 |
| jbk` | frostburn: it's nvidia geforce 6600 | 15:52 |
| aaronvarghese | ok then | 15:52 |
| aaronvarghese | lets !killll!||| | 15:52 |
| UnderSampled | Hello? | 15:52 |
| jbk` | it's not that old and it's even written in the description that 6600 is supported | 15:52 |
| Ti-dev | Hi, I'm trying to build mesa in Jaunty to rectify a prob, but when I try "make linux-dri-x86" it returns "make: Nothing to be done for `linux-dri-x86' ". Any help? | 15:52 |
| frostburn | twig11, yes, if worse comes to worse, you can recursively set the owner/group by doing a chown -R username:username /home/username | 15:52 |
| aaronvarghese | join/#yafray | 15:52 |
| aaronvarghese | join/#yafaray | 15:53 |
| frostburn | jbk`, the default restricted driver didn't work? | 15:53 |
| jbk` | exactly | 15:53 |
| klown | I'm getting a mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.2.107:/shares/Main/ trying to mount a NAS, anyone have any ideas how ti fix this issue? | 15:53 |
| minimec | Cryptorchild: No Problem. Remember. You are using the 'bleeding edge' developper snapshot of the opensource ati driver now. No need to step bakc. Maybe you can configure it a little better. | 15:53 |
| frostburn | jbk`, hmm, that's pretty odd, i'd check out the ubuntu forums to see if anyone else is having the same issues that you are with that videocard/chipset | 15:54 |
| bazhang | aaronvarghese, stop that | 15:54 |
| Cryptorchild | minimec, sure, i'll keep searching for further dev | 15:54 |
| Ti-dev | anyone? | 15:55 |
| twig11 | frostburn: I'm pretty new to this. Do you mind giving me the command for printing the contents of /etc/psswd to a file if that's what I should do? | 15:55 |
| UnderSampled | Can anyone help me? | 15:55 |
| AJC_Z0 | frostburn: No effect with "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" while playing the sound test in System > Sound | 15:55 |
| frostburn | Ti-dev, is there a config file? ./configure | 15:55 |
| moncky | twig11: less /etc/passwd | 15:55 |
| uqs | bazhang, thank you for the tip about medibuntu :] | 15:55 |
| th0r | twig11: that won't do any good...the passwords are hashed | 15:55 |
| AJC_Z0 | Oceanic: Nothing muted or down in alsamixer | 15:55 |
| AJC_Z0 | moncky: How do I reload ALSA? | 15:56 |
| sonism | !ask |UnderSampled | 15:56 |
| ubottu | UnderSampled: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:56 |
| moncky | twig11: that will just print to screen | 15:56 |
| UnderSampled | sonism: I did | 15:56 |
| twig11 | th0r: frostburn said I needed the user ids. They aren't hashed are they? | 15:56 |
| Ti-dev | frostburn, I'm following a howto and in that I did use "./configure" I'm like half way through and it says to make "linux-dri-x86" after configuring it. I did so but i get that error :( | 15:56 |
| frostburn | twig11, cat /etc/passwd you'll want to check out the man page as well for this man passwd | 15:56 |
| th0r | twig11: true....those are clear | 15:57 |
| grawity | frostburn: you probably mean man 5 passwd | 15:57 |
| UnderSampled | I'm trying to install via the network following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot at the step where I am to paste the folder called "pxelinux.cfg", I am not able to because there is already an (empty) file (not folder) with that name. Can I just delete the empty file? If thats so, why is it even there? | 15:57 |
| frostburn | th0r, twig11, they are hashed | 15:57 |
| grawity | Only passwords are hashed. | 15:57 |
| piken | hey all | 15:57 |
| frostburn | grawity, yes, twig11 man 5 passwd | 15:57 |
| grawity | (And hidden in /etc/shadow.) | 15:58 |
| moncky | twig11: no they are not, its username:x:UID:GID::path | 15:58 |
| klown | I'm getting a mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.2.107:/shares/Main/ trying to mount a NAS, anyone have any ideas how ti fix this issue? (i hate to keep asking, but im out of ideas) | 15:58 |

| UbuntuUser | hi | 16:01 |
| twig11 | grawity: I'm backing up my home folder to a fat drive and frostburn says I might want the userids in order to get permissions working when I import from the backup. | 16:01 |
| Ti-dev | frostburn: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building | Error = "make: Nothing to be done for `linux-dri-x86' " | 16:01 |
| UbuntuUser | anyone know how to add gnome-panel. after update it was dissapeared | 16:02 |
| mcphail | twig11: why are you backing up to fat???? | 16:02 |
| grawity | twig11: when you copy something to a FAT drive, it loses all permissions and owner and group. | 16:02 |
| grawity | twig11: unless you use 'tar' or something like that, of course. | 16:02 |
| twig11 | mcphail: newbies don't know any better. | 16:02 |
| Paddy_NI | UbuntuUser: do you currently have a panel? | 16:02 |
| uqs | bazhang, I alreadu have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed | 16:02 |
| mcphail | twig11: honestly, do use something else to save a wrold of pain | 16:02 |
| UbuntuUser | no i have not. | 16:02 |
| Paddy_NI | UbuntuUser: can you open a terminal window? | 16:03 |
| klown | I'm getting a mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.2.107:/shares/Main/ trying to mount a NAS, anyone have any ideas how ti fix this issue? | 16:03 |
| Ti-dev | frostburn, in the mesa dir, I executed a file called "autogen.sh" and it seems to have compiled | 16:03 |
| shiznebit | in ktorrent RSS how do I exclude a "String Matching" | 16:03 |
| minimec | UbuntuUser: Check if you can start it with <alt>F2 gnome-panel | 16:03 |
| === hacklab is now known as Sonja | ||
| bazhang | uqs, and libdvdread3 is installed? | 16:03 |
| grawity | twig11: anyway, when you restore the files, you can just do "ls -l" on a user's directory, note the UID shown, then just add a new user with the same UID. | 16:03 |
| Paddy_NI | minimec: I dont think alt+f2 works unless there is a panel to begin with | 16:03 |
| UbuntuUser | yes i can | 16:03 |
| Paddy_NI | ah then type gnome-panel | 16:04 |
| frostburn | Ti-dev, ah ok... are you in the correct directory for compiling? | 16:04 |
| bazhang | Paddy_NI, sure it does | 16:04 |
| grawity | Paddy_NI: Compiz has Alt+F2 too. | 16:04 |
| minimec | UbuntuUser: If not... <alt>F2 gnome-terminal, then sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 16:04 |
| Paddy_NI | grawity: ah cool | 16:04 |
| bjorkintosh | why does ubuntu have seizures? | 16:04 |
| minimec | UbuntuUser: So you can do <alt>F2? | 16:04 |
| sonism | UbuntuUser: type gnome-panel | 16:04 |
| grawity | Paddy_NI: It's in CCSM's "Gnome Compatibility" section. | 16:04 |
| bazhang | bjorkintosh, elaborate | 16:04 |
| twig11 | mcphail: I don't have much choice at the moment. The drive I'm backing up to has other things on it and I can't empty it and reformat. | 16:04 |
| bjorkintosh | it seems to be doing something with my harddrive and won't let me do anything else. | 16:04 |
| Ti-dev | well the mesa dir happens to be in my home folder... | 16:04 |
| bazhang | bjorkintosh, open a terminal and type : top | 16:04 |
| mcphail | twig11: how much data are you backing up? | 16:05 |
| Paddy_NI | grawity: excellent.. glad to hear it does not depend on having a panel any more | 16:05 |
| frostburn | Ti-dev, you'll also want to check in with xorg on compiling these modules. | 16:05 |
| bjorkintosh | bazhang, it will not let me do ANYTHING! | 16:05 |

| ubottu | aaronvarghese: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 16:07 |

| aaronvarghese | my system has only 5 secs to stay at ubuntu im using wubi please help | 16:07 |
| bjorkintosh | bazhang, i've had the machine for 5 years and i have NEVER encountered an overheating issue | 16:08 |
| write2copy | Impy: what software are you using to capture, and what audio card? | 16:08 |
| Impy | i'm using audacity | 16:08 |
| minimec | UbuntuUser: ok. <alt><ctrl>F1, login normally, then sudo apt-get install gnome-panel, then exit, then <alt>F7, logout graphic session. | 16:08 |
| bazhang | bjorkintosh, well without more info, no real way to help; 'having seziures' is not descriptive | 16:08 |
| uqs | bazhang, libdvdread4 is installed | 16:08 |

| twig11 | grawity: What I've done so far is to individually back up the two user directories from /home. Will I be able to bring them back and drop them in /home after I reinstall? or do I have to back up /home as a whole? | 16:08 |

| bazhang | bjorkintosh, what about running a livecd | 16:09 |
| Impy | write2copy i'm using audacity (http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=43cc11c74bf474b04b68f28b9c41cfaedb41bbff) | 16:09 |
| klown | I'm getting a mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.2.107:/shares/Main/ trying to mount a NAS, anyone have any ideas how ti fix this issue? | 16:09 |
| bjorkintosh | livecd works fine, but it won't tell me what triggers these seizures. | 16:09 |
| write2copy | Impy: known problem in audacity, also the volume controls of line-in are in conflict with those of the original OS audio controls | 16:09 |
| write2copy | atleast it's like that on XP | 16:09 |
| uqs | bazhang, I have only tried with one. so others may work? I'll try some others | 16:10 |
| bjorkintosh | i was wondering if there were some disk i/o services i might look to kill | 16:10 |
| frostburn | klown, it looks like it's not authenticating | 16:10 |
| Impy | write2copy the thing is it was working the other day :( | 16:10 |
| Ti-dev | frostbite, I compiled the "autogen.sh" file and it generated a "configure" file within the mesa folder as you asked. I compiled that and then tried make and then make linux-dri-x86 and it's working! :D Thanks...coz you mentioned the "configure" I thought of trying autogen :D Now I just have to pray it comes the way it's supposed to :) | 16:10 |
| klown | frostburn: theres no password, or username required. | 16:10 |
| bazhang | uqs, that is odd; very few dvd's have a new copy/protection scheme that will not allow play | 16:10 |
| write2copy | Impy: are you trying to record through line-in? | 16:10 |
| mcphail | bjorkintosh: are you running tracker or beagle? | 16:10 |
| Ti-dev | *frostburn | 16:10 |
| bjorkintosh | i don't know. i'll find out shortly after the reboot. | 16:10 |
| bjorkintosh | what are those? | 16:10 |
| bazhang | bjorkintosh, try restarting in safe mode | 16:11 |
| frostburn | Ti-dev, most excellent, lets hope the module works | 16:11 |
| Impy | write2copy nope through the microphone, the microphone plays back sound if i blow into it or tap it | 16:11 |
| mcphail | bjorkintosh: indexing services. | 16:11 |
| Ti-dev | yup :D | 16:11 |
| bjorkintosh | if it's part of the default install, then i most likely am. | 16:11 |
| kelli | anyone know i can change lots of files names fast | 16:11 |
| nanotube | hi, question about webcams: so, if i want a simple webcam that "just works (tm)" with ubuntu, what would I get? any personal recommendations? (i know there's a compatibility list for webcams out there, but i was hoping for some individual recommendations) | 16:11 |
| ILman | hello | 16:12 |
| ILman | i need help.. | 16:12 |
| nanotube | kelli: rename | 16:12 |
| write2copy | Impy: is the mic built-in ? | 16:12 |
| Impy | write2copy nope it's a plug in one | 16:12 |
| write2copy | Impy: ok, go to audio controls and see if the line-in / microphone is set to max (if not, set it to max) | 16:13 |
| nanotube | kelli: "man rename" for details | 16:13 |
| uqs | bazhang, very weird. The Matrix worked just fine, but another pretty old DVD (The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury) didn't work at all | 16:13 |

| * UnderSampled asks again | 16:13 | |
| Pici | ILman: Just ask your question (on one line!) to the channel and someone will answer. | 16:13 |
| UnderSampled | I'm trying to install via the network following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot at the step where I am to paste the folder called "pxelinux.cfg", I am not able to because there is already an (empty) file (not folder) with that name. Can I just delete the empty file? If thats so, why is it even there? | 16:13 |
| Impy | write2copy they're turned up max | 16:13 |
| kelli | nanotube, i have 4 folders and wont to merge into on but have same names | 16:13 |
| ILman | i would like | 16:13 |
| grawity | laeg: this time, run ssh-keygen -R m.y.i.p | 16:13 |
| ILman | private talk | 16:13 |
| ILman | its okay ? | 16:13 |
| bazhang | uqs, could be a scratch or dust (if very old) | 16:14 |
| ikonia | ILman: best to ask in the channel | 16:14 |
| ILman | well | 16:14 |
| bazhang | ILman, ask here on one line | 16:14 |
| grawity | laeg: next time, backup /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* | 16:14 |
| write2copy | Impy: are you sure the 'Record on sound' option is turned off in Audacity? | 16:14 |
| ILman | i have just installed | 16:14 |
| ILman | the Ubuntu | 16:14 |
| klown | frostburn: without a username and password being required..is there any reason i would be getting that nfs error? | 16:14 |
| bazhang | !enter | ILman | 16:14 |
| ubottu | ILman: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:14 |
| ILman | and i am using it | 16:14 |
| Impy | write2copy yeah it's off | 16:14 |
| bazhang | ILman, ONE line | 16:14 |
| ILman | okay | 16:14 |
| frostburn | klown, not sure, i haven't used nfs in a long while, what's the exact error you're seeing? | 16:15 |
| ILman | guide me, what should i do now ? | 16:15 |
| sonism | bazhang: ILman :D | 16:15 |
| nanotube | kelli: are the files with the same names the /same file/, and you want to remove duplicates, or are they different, and you want to rename them? if they are dupes, you can use "fdupes" to find duplicate files. if they are not the same and you want to rename... i'm afraid you have to resort to some basic shell scripting. | 16:15 |
| ILman | how can i check my free space ? | 16:15 |
| klown | frostburn: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.2.107:/shares/Main/ | 16:15 |
| grawity | ILman: df -h | 16:15 |
| ILman | how i get the shell ? | 16:15 |
| nanotube | ILman: ah, so you are looking for some ubuntu tutorials, then :) | 16:16 |
| laeg | grawity: i have the public and private key saved, can i import them or is that what your command will do? | 16:16 |
| ILman | no | 16:16 |
| uqs | bazhang, no. I've used the DVD maybe once or twice before. Oh well, won't watch many dvds when in ubuntu anyway. Thanks for the help bazhang | 16:16 |
| Lantizia | I've purged networkmanager from my system and put it back, YET the settings are still there - does anyone know where nm keeps it's settings so I can blast them to pieces!? | 16:16 |
| frostburn | klown, is the nfs server set up correctly? does it have an allow from all or that ip? | 16:16 |
| ILman | i would like to talk with someone on private | 16:16 |
| nanotube | ILman: to start a shell, go applications -> accessories -> terminal | 16:16 |
| grawity | laeg: the _server_ has its own set of keys, located in /etc/ssh | 16:16 |
| nanotube | ILman: command to check disk space is "df" | 16:16 |
| frostburn | df -h | 16:16 |
| write2copy | Impy: hmm, I can't really see where the problem lies, can you try to do the same under winXP? | 16:16 |
| bazhang | uqs, you may consider ripping then | 16:16 |
| AJC_Z0 | frostburn, Oceanic, moncky: Thanks for your suggestions. Any other things worth trying? FWIW, in the past logging out and back in has caused sound to start working | 16:16 |
| ILman | i am getting alot of numbers | 16:17 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| ILman | which one is my total free space ? | 16:17 |
| AJC_Z0 | I would prefer not to have to do that | 16:17 |
| uqs | bazhang, sure. if I feel the urge to watch that particual movie and can't get it from the net :9 | 16:17 |
| klown | frostburn: in my /etc/hosts.allow I have 'ALL:LOCAL" | 16:17 |
| nanotube | ILman: free space is listed in the "available" column | 16:17 |
| klown | frostburn: I'm not sure if this is correct, I am still trying to learn. | 16:17 |
| frostburn | AJC_Z0, i've experienced the same thing with sound | 16:17 |
| ILman | can someone talks with me on private ? | 16:17 |
| frostburn | klown, what about /etc/exports ? | 16:17 |
| ILman | i got it but where is the sum ? | 16:18 |
| ILman | total free space ? | 16:18 |
| nanotube | ILman: if you have multiple partitions, each partition gets its own number | 16:18 |
| grawity | ILman: df -h / | 16:18 |
| ILman | i did it | 16:18 |
| nanotube | ILman: ehrm... add them up yourself. :) | 16:18 |
| klown | frostburn: if it isnt another pc, is a line in /etc/exports required? if so, how exactly would I put it in there. | 16:18 |
| grawity | ILman: do it again with a slash after it | 16:18 |
| grawity | nanotube: bad idea, as there are a few tmpfs and similar filesystems that share space. | 16:18 |
| ILman | and now what ? | 16:19 |
| ILman | df -h\ | 16:19 |
| nanotube | grawity: true... would the "df /" show sum for all filesystems, even if there are other mount points? | 16:19 |
| klown | frostburn: the reason I ask, is because im not "exporting" to another device, im trying to "import" i guess. | 16:19 |
| grawity | ILman: df -h / | 16:19 |
| nanotube | ILman: forward slash | 16:19 |
| grawity | ILman: NOT df -h\ | 16:19 |
| ILman | okay | 16:19 |
| ILman | its written | 16:19 |
| ILman | 203mb | 16:19 |
| ILman | but its impossible | 16:19 |
| * grawity leaves before his IQ drops more. | 16:20 | |
| frostburn | klown, afaik, yes it's required, check out man exports and I hate doing this, but check out the google http://www.google.com/search?q=nfs+exports&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a like i said, it's been a long while since i've used nfs, i've used samba for security | 16:20 |
| sonism | ILman: why would that it be impossible? | 16:20 |
| twig11 | grawity: just want to know if I'm going to be really really sorry if I copied my two user directories separately out of /home to a fat drive or should I start over? The filesystem on the drive isn't really able to be changed right now unless I partition it, which I don't know how to do. Can I just go ahead as I am and come back here for help with permissions afterward or is that asking for trouble? | 16:20 |
| klown | frostburn: afaik? I will attempt to re-read what I can, see if the /etc/exports will help me out | 16:20 |
| ILman | cause i should have somehting like 70G free | 16:21 |
| th0r | twig11: no problem...you can copy the directories back into /home when you are ready. But you will have problems with p;ermissions since you are using a fat drive | 16:21 |
| nanotube | ILman: copypaste your full output of just plain "df -h" into the pastebin | 16:21 |
| frostburn | klown, afaik, as far as i know. last time i set up nfs, /etc/exports needed to be configured on the host server | 16:21 |
| bucky | ILman: you didn't partition right, you mounted the wrong partition to / or logs filled you drive | 16:21 |
| nanotube | ILman: pastebin is at paste.ubuntu.com | 16:21 |
| sonism | ILman: i can't understand you, pastebin pls.... | 16:21 |
| AJC_Z0 | frostburn: Glad I'm not alone. I've had problems with sound not working in feisty which turned out to be one the umpteen volume controls being too low, but not seen (heard?) sound just stop working like this | 16:21 |
| ILman | i use 2 pc's | 16:22 |
| ILman | then i cant much past it | 16:22 |
| twig11 | th0r: are the problems I have likely to be fixable by a newbie with a little coaching from the friendly board? | 16:22 |
| klown | frostburn: thanks for the help :) | 16:22 |
| ILman | but it works faster | 16:22 |
| ILman | well how can i here music ? | 16:22 |
| ILman | listen to * | 16:22 |
| th0r | twig11: yeah...they shouldn't be too hard. But consider making /home a separate partition when you reinstall so you avoid this in the future | 16:22 |
| hubert__ | hello | 16:23 |
| th0r | twig11: are you sure /home is NOT separate now? | 16:23 |
| twig11 | th0r: Pretty sure. But how do I find out? | 16:23 |
| UnderSampled | Can anyone help me? | 16:23 |
| twig11 | !anyone | 16:24 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 16:24 |
| frostburn | twig11, mount | 16:24 |
| marek__ | helow | 16:24 |
| th0r | twig11: in a terminal type 'df -h'. There should be an entry for '/', and if /home is a separate partition there will be a separate line for /home | 16:24 |
| frostburn | if it's separate it'll display there | 16:24 |

| nickolaus | I am trying to format and external hard drive to NTFS in ubuntu and i seem to be running into a wall. The hard drive is currently formatted to ext3. I tried gparted but i'm not seeing an option to format. There is a "Format to" option but it's greyed out. | 16:25 |
| bazhang | marek__, /join #ubuntu-pl | 16:25 |
| sonism | ILman: i think that's not relevant with your previous question. one question at one time pls.... | 16:25 |
| minimec | nickolaus: You have to unmount the partition first. | 16:26 |
| twig11 | th0r: frostburn: doesn't look like /home is a separate partition. I did the default install to start with. | 16:26 |
| th0r | nickolaus: try deleting the ext3 partition and then defining a new ntfs partition | 16:26 |
| Rabbitssoftworks | Help | 16:26 |

| bazhang | Rabbitssoftworks, need a question | 16:26 |
| th0r | twig11: then the copies you have will be ok...just require a little tweaking once you get them back in place | 16:26 |

| bazhang | marek__, /join #ubuntu-pl | 16:28 |
| th0r | nickolaus: you might not have ntfs-3g installed. | 16:28 |
| twig11 | th0r: actually, I can stay here the whole time. I'm online with my laptop, not the ubuntu system. | 16:29 |
| th0r | nickolaus: do you have a windows partition on the computer as well....would actually be better to format ntfs in windows if you can | 16:29 |
| sonism | dlord: what command promt? of the installed system? | 16:30 |
| nickolaus | th0r i do | 16:30 |
| th0r | nickolaus: you might also prefer to settle for vfat instead of ntfs | 16:30 |
| dlord | sonism: Instead of booting into the gui I would like to go to the command line. | 16:30 |
| twig11 | th0r: That's the reason I'm reinstalling, actually. I hit an impasse where iwconfig wouldn't save my ESSID for a wireless network no matter what I did. I had kevdog and gogeta at the end of their ropes. gogeta said reinstall the #*/@%& thing and I really don't know what else to do. I spent hours and hours on it and it seems like something's corrupted. | 16:31 |
| nickolaus | th0r i have to do alot of windows backups so i thought i would just go with ntfs to avoid problems. | 16:31 |
| th0r | nickolaus: probably a good idea....but I would do the format in windows if that option is available | 16:32 |
| minimec | twig11: You could configure it the old debian way in /etc/network/interfaces with the iwconfig commands. Your choice... | 16:33 |

| Mandrake6 | \join #ubuntu-br | 16:34 |
| twig11 | minimec: Don't worry, I DID do it with iwconfig commands. and more iwconfig. and dhclient. over and over. doesn't work. And I did have it working earlier. I've given up. | 16:34 |
| charnel | does anyone knows how to edit the $PATH ? | 16:34 |
| th0r | charnel: you don't edit it, you redefine it. If you want to remove some portion, you just set PATH=<whatever is left> | 16:35 |
| minimec | so... reinstall the #*/@%& thing ;) | 16:35 |
| frostburn | charnel, PATH is defined in your .bashrc or .bash_profile | 16:35 |

| dlord | sonism: Right. I select the "Try Ubuntu" Selection then it starts throwing errors that it can't access the /dev/sda4 | 16:39 |
| slogum | . | 16:40 |
| sonism | dgandhi1: try it using rsync | 16:40 |
| twig11 | th0r: okay, the option I want is "Specify partitions manually (advanced) ? | 16:41 |
| th0r | twig11: right | 16:41 |
| th0r | twig11: first set up a 15GB partition with a mount point of '/' | 16:41 |
| dgandhi1 | frostburn: I didn't see options for recursion in the curl man page | 16:41 |
| th0r | twig11: you can use either ext3 or ext4...your choice. I used ext4 with no problems, but some people are still a little gunshy about it and prefer ext3 | 16:41 |
| dgandhi1 | sonism: can I rsync over http? | 16:42 |
| charnel | one more question . editing .profile is just for editing the $PATH right ? Does it do anything more . Iwant to make the cakephp console running in Ubuntu. I installed the package but it is out of date . | 16:42 |
| charnel | So I am trying to install it manually | 16:42 |
| twig11 | th0r: New partition table? | 16:42 |
| th0r | twig11: the whole drive is for ubuntu, right? | 16:43 |
| sonism | dgandhi: you can rsync using the combination of rsync server and ssh server | 16:43 |
| twig11 | th0r: yep | 16:43 |
| th0r | twig11: then yes, new partition table | 16:43 |
| frostburn | dgandhi1, i'm not sure if there is one | 16:43 |
| dgandhi1 | sonism: the site in on a server without shell access, I'm trying to back it up to my local ubuntu machine. | 16:44 |
| frostburn | CharelB, .bash_profile is invoked whenever a new bash shell is opened, it can control any aspect of the shell such as environmental variables, like path, or run scripts | 16:44 |
| th0r | twig11: you realize that as we speak there are three or four others trying frantically to keep up, and half a dozen more taking notes furiously for when they install ubuntu <smile> | 16:44 |

| th0r | twig11: just got dropped...hope you are still there | 16:46 |
| twig11 | th0r: 15000 M? | 16:47 |
| sonism | dgandhi1: well, that's to bad... rsync is the tool you want for good reliability in backup operation... try other mirror that serve rsync.... | 16:47 |
| th0r | twig11: right | 16:47 |
| minimec | minerva: That doesn't sound good... Is that a clean install you did? And what Distro? Jaunty? | 16:47 |
| th0r | twig11: close enough <smile> | 16:47 |

| th0r | twig11: second partition is swap...rules say 1.5 times ram size, but make it an even 1G | 16:48 |
| marcel_ | fccf, i tried that but that doesnt work | 16:48 |
| twig11 | th0r: That isn't exactly 1000 Mb is it? | 16:48 |
| da-playaz | hi | 16:49 |
| th0r | twig11: and all you need to do is define it as swap...everything else will be taken care of | 16:49 |

| shivek | Hi everyone ! | 16:51 |
| bucky | marcel_: you can't log in as anonymous user from a remote host? | 16:51 |
| twig11 | th0r: Mount point: /home | 16:51 |

| marcel_ | bucky, i have my own cvs server, i want to enable anonymous access | 16:51 |
| da-playaz | balloooza: it would be very friendly if you could help me | 16:51 |
| bucky | marcel_: so you don't have anonymous access from localhost? | 16:52 |
| reginaldo | anyone can help me to burn a picture dvd? | 16:52 |
| balloooza | da-playaz: do you mean configure as in install, or get the drivers, software et ceter | 16:52 |
| Hilikus | whats the difference between alsa and pulseaudio | 16:52 |
| twig11 | th0r: | 16:52 |
| marcel_ | bucky, no | 16:52 |
| twig11 | oops | 16:52 |
| Hilikus | and which one is better | 16:52 |
| shivek | I'm planning to convert my home pc into a web server. How much would it affect my computer's performance. Any idea ! ? | 16:52 |
| da-playaz | I let install ubuntu on my computer 3 days ago but I need programms | 16:52 |
| Hilikus | shivek: depends on traffic probably | 16:52 |
| da-playaz | software etc. and everything what I need | 16:52 |
| mcphail | shivek: depends how popular your website is | 16:52 |
| minimec | minerva: Can you open a terminal <alt>F2 gnome-terminal and type lspci | grep audio in it? | 16:52 |
| bucky | marcel_: is the cvs server running? | 16:52 |
| newuser007 | hi can anybody help me to install nmap | 16:53 |
| balloooza | da-playaz: so you are talking about windows alternitives | 16:53 |
| frostburn | shivek, not hard at all, performance loss would be dependent on what you're hosting and to how many people access it at the same time | 16:53 |
| da-playaz | I dont know to use ubuntu | 16:53 |
| marcel_ | bucky, yes, i can login with a user and password, but not with anonymous | 16:53 |
| Hilikus | shivek: and what kind of website | 16:53 |
| Hilikus | shivek: and what kind of hardware | 16:53 |
| da-playaz | no I am now ubuntu irc | 16:53 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ da-playaz read this then | 16:53 |
| AJC_Z0 | frostburn, Oceanic, moncky: What part of this fixed it I can't say, but I added "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop enable=1 index=0" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and ran "sudo alsa force-reload", then sound came back | 16:53 |
| da-playaz | and I use ubuntu now | 16:53 |
| sonism | newuser007: sudo apt-get install nmap | 16:53 |
| Tetracomm | Does anyone here know how to deal with Ebooks? I have one without a clickable table of contents (index) and I really can't deal with that. | 16:54 |
| bazhang | da-playaz, ask a question then, all on ONE line | 16:54 |
| balloooza | da-playaz: so, what is your question, | 16:54 |
| newuser007 | sonism: its not work | 16:54 |
| twig11 | th0r: /dev/sda1 ext3 mount point / size 15002 MB; /dev/sda5 type swap, size 1019 MB; /dev/sda6, type ext3, mount point /home, 64000 MB. | 16:54 |
| da-playaz | bazhang: ok I am just reading | 16:54 |
| frostburn | AJC_Z0, excellent, you may want to document that in the forums or wiki | 16:54 |
| Ti-dev | frostburn, I compiled linux-dri-x86 but got some error messages. So I tried linux-dri. No go :( | 16:54 |

| Tetracomm | mcphail: This is a PDF. :( | 16:55 |
| mcphail | Tetracomm: not at that computer just now so I don't know the name of the package | 16:55 |
| minerva | ok - nothing happened... | 16:55 |
| diddy | my netstat is showing tons of ports established/listening to python. How can I find out what program that is? | 16:55 |
| da-playaz | my desktop is so simple and I want have an exciting desktop | 16:55 |
| th0r | twig11: looks good, but let's talk about it a minute. I set aside 35GB for my / but now am really sorry. With all my -devs and everything I am only using about 6.5GB. So 15GB should be fine...but if you want to make any changes now is the itme to do it | 16:55 |
| da-playaz | and I want have fun with my ubuntu | 16:55 |
| mcphail | Tetracomm: most PDF readers should be able to click on links from a PDF if it has been constructed correctly | 16:55 |

| CaptainMorgan | 5 | 16:56 |
| purefusion | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/usb-creator - it doesn't say how to tell it which usb drive I want to use | 16:56 |
| da-playaz | shivek: ok I will try it but I dont know how to install this themes or software on ubuntu | 16:56 |
| Hilikus | shivek: specifically, mysql access? php? | 16:57 |
| minimec | minerva: use my nick at the beginning of your post... So type lspci in the terminal and use paste.ubuntu.com to copy paste the results. | 16:57 |
| balloooza | shivek: I think that is overkill, I use a 800 MHz 368MB memory, it is fine for web server, and I run ubuntu server 8.04, with this web administration called ebox, if you would like, we can take this to server (#ubuntu-server) | 16:57 |
| twig11 | th0r: What sort of things would I be doing that could fill up the space on / ? | 16:57 |
| bazhang | da-playaz, then you need to do some reading first. | 16:57 |
| mcphail | Tetracomm: the PDF file would have to be created with links/anchors like a web page for that sort of thing to work. Sounds like your file hasn't been | 16:57 |
| balloooza | Hilikus: do you think that is best for ubuntu-server? | 16:57 |
| twig11 | th0r: remembering that I'm not what you'd probably consider a power user. | 16:57 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community http://wiki.ubuntu.com da-playaz | 16:57 |

| th0r | twig11: not much....all the software you install via synaptic goes there, but all your personal stuff goes in /home...so like I said...with everything I installed I still only used 6.5GB so for you 15GB should be plenty | 16:58 |
| shivek | balloooza: Yes take it to that server | 16:58 |
| frostburn | diddy, what's the exact line? | 16:58 |
| Anirban1987 | when I am pinging an ip address I am getting result but I am unable to ping site such as google.com | 16:58 |
| Hilikus | balloooza: what is? | 16:58 |
| Ti-dev | (I use the pipe "|" as line break) | 16:58 |
| diddy | frostburn: Too many to list. | 16:58 |
| frostburn | Ti-dev, that means it didn't compile, the line above that should tell you what file it failed on | 16:58 |
| frostburn | diddy, can you paste bin one or two? | 16:58 |
| firecrotch | Anirban1987: Sounds like your DNS server is not set up properly | 16:58 |
| da-playaz | ok I want to get as theme azanis gnome and I pressed on bottom but it opens only the pic there is no download link | 16:59 |
| Ti-dev | frostburn, you mean the line above the whole thing I printed now? | 16:59 |
| firecrotch | Anirban1987: or not responding, or something like that | 16:59 |

| twig11 | th0r: but you're saying it's unlikely I'd even use up 10 GB. And my HD is cramped. can I make it smaller? | 16:59 |
| da-playaz | how can I get this theme | 16:59 |
| diddy | frostburn, tcp 0 0 192.168.1.14:40052 84.229.107.99:16757 ESTABLISHED 1000 1917589 20210/python | 16:59 |
| Ti-dev | frostburn: well, above that there's a LOT | 16:59 |
| Anirban1987 | ping: unknown host techdarpan.com | 16:59 |
| th0r | twig11: if you want to make it smaller now is the time...you can't go back later and change it. That is why I brought it up now <smile> | 16:59 |
| Ti-dev | 1/4 terminal I'd suppose :D | 16:59 |
| frostburn | Ti-dev, yeah, for compile errors you'll want to refer to the the provider of the code, xorg, dri | 16:59 |
| Ti-dev | oh...ok | 17:00 |
| firecrotch | Anirban1987: What about a more... wellknown hostname? ping google.com ? | 17:00 |
| th0r | twig11: 10GB would be fine for now....I always plan two or three releases down the pike | 17:00 |
| Anirban1987 | ping: unknown host google.com | 17:00 |
| twig11 | th0r: Maybe I'll stick with 15. so here goes. | 17:00 |
| firecrotch | Anirban1987: What do you get when you do "dig google.com" ? | 17:00 |
| th0r | twig11: I am really comfortable with those numbers | 17:01 |
| AJC_Z0 | frostburn: If I knew the right thing to write and the right place to write it, I would. In this case it was a stab in the dark based on advice found via Google and I don't even know what actually fixed it | 17:01 |
| th0r | twig11: if you need more space for music, photos, etc you can always use a usb drive | 17:01 |
| Anirban1987 | -bash: dig: command not found | 17:01 |
| frostburn | diddy, anything pop up on ps -ef|grep python ? | 17:01 |
| twig11 | th0r: yep, and I have a 500 GB one: that's what I backed up to. | 17:02 |
| andre_pl | Does anyone know where the extension->program associations are stored for bash's completion? | 17:02 |
| minerva | minimec: correct? alright I brought up the screen... typed in lspci - hit run and the screen just goes away - nothing happens or comes up. | 17:02 |
| th0r | 500,000,000,000 wrong places to put something! | 17:02 |
| bazhang | da-playaz, download, drag tar.gz to appearances (theme tab) then choose | 17:02 |
| firecrotch | Anirban1987, install the package "dig" (sudo apt-get install dig), as it will help greatly in resolving your DNS problem | 17:03 |

| da-playaz | but it is very difficult | 17:11 |
| da-playaz | this sux | 17:11 |
| da-playaz | I need a proffesional friend who is very on ubuntu | 17:11 |
| da-playaz | and who is willing to help me to configure my ubuntu on my laptop | 17:11 |
| FloodBot1 | da-playaz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:11 |
| da-playaz | bazhang : can you login yourself in my laptop and do all the configuration life so that I can watch you and learn to use ubuntu | 17:11 |
| fccf | Anirban1987: sudo apt-get install net-tools | 17:11 |
| da-playaz | bazhan: please | 17:11 |
| th0r | twig11: then once the install completes, reboot into ubuntu, mount the usb drive and copy the home folders in place. Then you need to open a terminal and type 'sudo chown -R anthony:anthony /home/anthony' | 17:11 |
| OttifantSir | icqn: Apparently, what you need is earcandy. There's info on it here: https://launchpad.net/earcandy It's not in the repositories, and as far as I've found, there's no official PPA for it. So you'll need to research it a bit. | 17:12 |
| reginaldo | how to burn a jpg dvd ? | 17:12 |
| th0r | twig11: you said there was a second user...so you will need to do the same for the second user | 17:12 |
| mcphail | vise: should be working ok then. have you tried controlling qsynth from the virtual keyboard program? | 17:12 |
| da-playaz | sorry | 17:12 |
| bazhang | da-playaz, stop flooding. it is drag and drop very very easy | 17:12 |
| Anirban1987 | net-tools is already the newest version. | 17:12 |
| dAnon | why can't I write in NTFS | 17:12 |
| twig11 | th0r: thanks | 17:12 |
| vise | mcphail, It's in rosegarden? Ill try that.. | 17:12 |
| icqn | OttifantSir, me, why would i want earncandy? | 17:12 |
| dAnon | on one partition I can, on the other one I can't write in NTSF | 17:12 |
| adhil | da-playaz what are the things u need to configure? | 17:12 |
| bazhang | da-playaz, right click on desktop, choose change background appearance, then go to the theme tab and drag the tar.gz file there and choose it | 17:13 |
| mcphail | vise: no - not the one in rosegarden. There is a standalone vkeybd package which is quite good for testing | 17:13 |
| rogst | When I plug in my external monitor into my laptop and run xrandr -q the highest resolutions listed for VGA is 1280x1024, but the monitor is a 23" widescreen that can do 1680x1050. Why cant I get any higher resolutions, my laptop got an Intel x4500 graphics card ? | 17:13 |

| rogst | fccf: Ubuntu 9.04 | 17:14 |
| Anirban1987 | fccf : Nope | 17:14 |
| th0r | twig11: now in the future if you want to reinstall just reformat /, do not format /home. you can reinstall the whole of ubuntu and still have all your data in /home intact | 17:14 |
| OttifantSir | icqn: earcandy gives you configuration options for PulseAudio, and apparently solves your problem. Sorry if I didn't understand you correctly. | 17:14 |
| Baba_B00ie | to mod bash aliases, do i go under ~home/username/.bashrc and edit that file ? | 17:14 |
| th0r | twig11: I always do a reinstall instead of an upgrade....saves a lot of headaches | 17:14 |
| fccf | rogst: there is a regression in the intel video drivers see !intel | 17:14 |
| fccf | !intel | 17:14 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 17:14 |
| twig11 | th0r: That's comforting. Wish I had done that in the first place. | 17:14 |
| icqn | !info earcandy | 17:15 |
| ubottu | Package earcandy does not exist in jaunty | 17:15 |

| Cryptorchild | my battery state could not be recognize, any clue? | 17:15 |
| th0r | twig11: well...not a lot...but would have been easier | 17:15 |

| ubuntunewbie | what is the different between visualization (vmware) and (virtual box) ? | 17:15 |
| vise | mcphail, I got vkeybd and ran it.. But keys don't play anything.. Configuration required for it? | 17:15 |
| twig11 | th0r: If I do a renstall in the future, will I have to also reinstall any software I've installed afterward? | 17:16 |

| fccf | rogst: nope - the only way to do what I am saying is to reinstall | 17:17 |
| rogst | fccf: okay | 17:17 |
| OttifantSir | icqn: No, I don't have the need to. I have just read some info on it, and heard people saying it solved their problems. | 17:17 |
| twig11 | th0r: But the prefs for that software would still be stored in /home, right? | 17:17 |
| vise | mcphail, Alright! Thanx! So this is what i was missing.. Do i do the same for rosegarden? (connect rosegarden to fluidsynth)? | 17:17 |
| bazhang | ubuntunewbie, one is in repos virtualbox-ose and the other choice is to get virtualbox from the makers website, similarly for vmware | 17:17 |
| mcphail | vise: yes! | 17:18 |
| twig11 | th0r: bookmarks, for instance | 17:18 |
| vise | phew! | 17:18 |
| th0r | twig11: right, and all the data files too if you keep them in your /home directory | 17:18 |
| mcphail | vise: consider installing the realtime kernel or the full ubuntu-studio package | 17:18 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox ubuntunewbie | 17:18 |
| twig11 | th0r: okay that should be no problem for me then. | 17:18 |

| jrib | Travis-42: usermod | 17:20 |

| stratocaster | Im' looking for the deb package 2fc for ubuntu 64bits, anyone can tell me the link of the repository where i can download the deb? | 17:21 |
| th0r | twig11: after you have changed the ownership of your files, you will have to go through them changing permissions...we will have to see how bad that part is messed up | 17:21 |
| vise | mcphail, Okay.. Now the sound fonts i loaded consist of drums.. But they show up as unlabeled piano keys in the matrix editor.. Is it possible to indicate the names in rosegarden? (im used to FL.. :)) | 17:21 |
| bazhang | rameshwor, which packages | 17:21 |
| twig11 | th0r: That's one of the few concepts I've already mastered. :-) | 17:21 |
| twig11 | th0r: storing stuff in home only, I mean | 17:21 |
| rameshwor | bazhang: which ?? some softwares.. that i downloaded ... | 17:21 |
| ubuntunewbie | bazhang: oh .... now I know more , so if I had a window install on other partition , can I use the existing window or I need to install a new window to use it ? | 17:21 |
| mcphail | vise: not very familiar with rosegarden tbh. I use hydrogen for drums and apart from that stay away from sequencers | 17:21 |
| bazhang | rameshwor, from 3rd party sites? PPA's? or just the repos | 17:21 |
| FlyingSquirrel31 | I was just reading shuttleworths post about the need to replace the old files and folders way of finding a file. http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/223 | 17:22 |

| th0r | twig11: yeah...sometimes folks have a hard time getting their head around that | 17:22 |
| FlyingSquirrel31 | Is there some project that has a sort of daemon that monitors a folder, say /home/user/find and when a user browses to for example /home/user/find/dogs, it does a search, perhaps using an index and creates a folder full of links? | 17:22 |
| rameshwor | bazhang : repos. | 17:22 |
| bazhang | FlyingSquirrel31, plesae discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 17:22 |
| th0r | twig11: are you familiar with the permissions for files and directories? | 17:22 |
| bazhang | rameshwor, then yes there will be suitable versions for 9.04 | 17:23 |

| mcphail | vise: i think there is some reasonably easy way to tweak rosegarden, but i'm not at my desktop at present | 17:25 |
| twig11 | th0r: Since I've already got /home/anthony, will it just let me overwrite it? | 17:25 |
| icqn | if a web page in firefox for example contains an applet, witch plays sound, sound does not work anywhere else, how to turn sound in java applets off? or how to solve this issue? | 17:25 |

| arkts1 | do I have to re-partition K in order to install ubuntu? | 17:26 |
| twig11 | th0r: merge or skip? | 17:26 |
| vise | mcphail, tbh, rosegarden has the most intuitive GUI i have ever seen. | 17:26 |
| th0r | twig11: if in the next day or two you run into problems running a program or doing something, make sure you mention the permissions issues. | 17:26 |
| th0r | twig11: merge | 17:26 |
| vise | mcphail, (among music sequencers) | 17:26 |

| mcphail | vise: i found it quite unstable, but that was a couple of years ago. haven't used it seriously for some time | 17:26 |
| fccf | stratocaster: I am quite certain that you will not find any debs for that package... you will probably have to compile from source... unfortunatly | 17:27 |
| twig11 | replace all | 17:27 |
| jrib | arkts1: note that in linux, your partitions won't be refereed to as C:, K:, etc. When you ran the installer, were you not able to select the partition you wanted to install ubuntu onto? | 17:28 |

| vise | mcphail, I was sick of FL anyway.. This seems to be better.. | 17:28 |
| jrib | frankenst91: here if it is ubuntu-related (after asking a question) | 17:28 |

| jrib | arkts1: you need at least 2 partitions. One for / and one for swap. In the installer, I would just delete the partition K and tell the installer to use the freespace wisely | 17:30 |
| arkts1 | jrib: if i click on the partition, all i can do is edit partition or delete it | 17:30 |

| thiebaude | sportman1280: System>Administration>Software Sources | 18:04 |
| Fallenou | i guess 512 Mo would suffice | 18:04 |
| linduxed | Fallenou: !!! | 18:04 |
| jrib | arkts1: even if it said sda5 and sda6 I would advise you not to proceed without backups | 18:04 |

| sportman1280 | thiebaude: im not a freakin newb. please stop with the how to change repos | 18:04 |
| jrib | arkts1: as it is, I haven't used the install to partition in a while so can't tell you if that's normal or not. You could try installing in vbox and see if the same happens | 18:05 |
| Fallenou | i put 512 because i had trouble with too tiny /boot | 18:05 |
| linduxed | Fallenou: hmmm, think i will | 18:05 |
| Fallenou | when i did apt-get update and is installed new kernels, it failde because there was no space left on /boot | 18:05 |
| arkts1 | jrib: well, ill just cancel the install and retry again with a backup of my stuff | 18:05 |
| sportman1280 | bucky: i need other ideas. because thats not the fix. | 18:05 |

| Ti-dev | reginaldo: it's a GUI tool right? so on a normal ubuntu install you've gotta install it separately. Then you can fire it up from the "Administration" menu. When you do that it'll ask you for your password... | 18:09 |

| bazhang | sportman1280, what does apt-cache subversion show in the terminal | 18:11 |
| sportman1280 | bucky: im not a hillbilly. lol | 18:11 |
| fccf | demona: I have noticed that the terminal window for x2vnc has to be kept in the foreground of the desktop ... or you will get those problems | 18:11 |
| DasEi | diddy: can have a firefox addon for that | 18:11 |
| bazhang | sportman1280, err apt-cache search | 18:11 |
| sportman1280 | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/217101/ | 18:11 |
| demona | fccf: can you run it as a background process without that happening? | 18:12 |
| diddy | DasEi, but then Firefox would have to be open. :( | 18:12 |
| reginaldo | the linux system never work with me, bye all | 18:12 |

| diddy | DasEi, some kind of evolution demon that only checks for new email on the webmail providers pop3 server without having the full Evolution program open. | 18:12 |
| bazhang | sportman1280, yes I am aware, apt-cache search subversion should give some results | 18:13 |
| _Apple_ | any of you guys know of any good IRC Clients for BlackBer | 18:13 |
| _Apple_ | y | 18:13 |
| sportman1280 | bazhang: that was search. there were a lot. but thats the trimmed version :-P | 18:13 |
| fccf | mazda01: thats often a limitation ... there is always JACK | 18:13 |
| bucky | sportman1280: apt-cache search is different than apt-cache policy | 18:14 |
| mazda01 | fccf, yeah. i do want to resolve this however. i am sure someone has to be running the same audio card as me and using pulse. | 18:14 |
| sportman1280 | bucky: well aware | 18:14 |
| sportman1280 | bucky: i just put the one line result in IRC | 18:14 |
| bucky | sportman1280: so far i've only seen you post apt-cache policy | 18:14 |

| sportman1280 | fccf: yep | 18:30 |
| aaron | Titan8990: I've done that. | 18:30 |

| jrib | twig11: sure | 18:30 |
| aaron | DasEi: How do I create a 1:1 backup? | 18:30 |
| Ti-dev | anyone? | 18:30 |
| DasEi | aaron : dd | 18:31 |
| DasEi | aaron : like you have a partiton same size as hd, let's say /dev/sdb.... | 18:31 |
| === cloneproduction is now known as clone | ||
| aaron | And I can do that from one physical drive onto another? Do I need to create a partition specifically for this, or do I can I create the backup onto an already existing partition? | 18:32 |
| aaron | Also... what are the chances of that succeeding when a simple 'cp' fails? | 18:32 |
| sadik123 | I have installed ubunut 9.04 in dell optiflex 360 desktop and tried to restart the pc...no use only i need to manually turn the power off and on...any soln...for this | 18:32 |

| ten80pp | OttifantSir: The router's DHCP range is set from 192.168.1.100 to 200, the static IP i want to set is 192.168.1.2, I do not think this is conflicting unless i am missing something | 18:32 |
| sadik123 | even i have loaded the ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 ...still same issue...then tried using the command sudo shutdown -r now...still shutdowns and while restarts hangs-up | 18:33 |
| DasEi | aaron: whatever could be saved from that drive dd will do it, as it copies sector per sector, a cp stops at corrupt files | 18:33 |
| aaron | DasEi: I'm running linux from a brand new hard drive... the damaged hard drive is separate | 18:33 |

| sadik123 | any ideas? | 18:36 |
| OttifantSir | ten80pp: Does your router have the possibility of doing static DHCP-IPs? Mine works by assigning a specific IP to a MAC-adress each time the network card asks for an adress. It may, or may not be able to set IPs outside the normal DHCP IP-range like that. Look at the interface of your router, and read the manual on it's DHCP-server. | 18:36 |

| m477 | some1 can recomend some program to defragmentation ? | 18:37 |
| unop | !defrag | 18:38 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 18:38 |
| bazhang | m477, not needed | 18:38 |
| mbeierl | m477: depends on the filesystem type | 18:38 |
| aaron | unop: Yes. And I can copy some files from it but then it will stop and throw I/O exceptions. | 18:38 |
| m477 | recommend ofc | 18:38 |
| twig11 | DasEi: right, and it's my only copy, so I better leave it alone. | 18:38 |
| unop | aaron, if you do use dd .. but you will have to resize the filesystems later if the source and destination partitions are not the same size | 18:38 |
| m477 | bazhang: but i want def. nfs | 18:38 |
| DasEi | twig11: yup | 18:38 |
| bazhang | m477, ntfs? | 18:38 |
| m477 | bazhang: yeap | 18:38 |
| twig11 | DasEi: that's why I wanted to do cp. don't know why I did mv instead. | 18:38 |
| bazhang | m477, from ubuntu, or windows | 18:38 |
| unop | aaron, well, go ahead and use dd then (and cross your fingers) | 18:39 |
| twig11 | DasEi: is there any way to watch the progress of the file operation? | 18:39 |
| m477 | bazhang: for ubuntu | 18:39 |
| sadik123 | Dear ALL,Deubuntu 9.04 not restarting by itself...everytime i need to manually turn the power off and on...any solution | 18:39 |
| sadik123 | SORRY UBUNTU 9.04 | 18:39 |
| bazhang | m477, ubuntu does not use ntfs; it can read and write to it though | 18:39 |
| m477 | bazhang: i got system on ext but also i got ntfs partition | 18:39 |
| DasEi | twig11: especially for such large files it's much safer cp, and then rm from the destination, a simple current failure and you are.. unlucky ;-) | 18:39 |
| bazhang | m477, defrag from windows install | 18:40 |
| m477 | bazhang: it is only way ? | 18:40 |

| unop | aaron, well, a partition houses a filesystem .. and the filesystem has a size which is <= the size of the partition .. so if you clone your partition to a new one which is bigger, the filesystem will have the same size as it did on the older partition | 18:41 |
| twig11 | DasEi: if the operation fails and I lose the data some family members are going to be more than a little annoyed. two hours of holding my breath... | 18:41 |
| unop | aaron, that doesn't mean the filesystem won't work, it will but it won't occupy 100% of the partition - you will need to resize it later | 18:42 |
| DasEi | twig11: is it sata at least ? | 18:42 |
| aaron | unop: Right... I understand partitioning. I guess it's dd that I don't understand. I don't need it to occupy the whole partition, I just need to be able to save the files on it, you know? | 18:43 |
| twig11 | DasEi: It's a usb drive. | 18:43 |
| aaron | Once I get the files saved to the new hard drive, I have no need to save the backup that dd creates. | 18:43 |
| twig11 | DasEi: I think it's a usb enclosure with a sata drive inside. Does that make sense? | 18:44 |
| sadik123 | hello everybody kind attention plz....has anybody got any idea for my solution or not | 18:44 |
| sadik123 | if not...let me know | 18:44 |

| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 18:44 |
| unop | aaron, it depends on how you use dd .. if you use dd on a block device (such as /dev/sda1) .. dd does a byte-for-byte copy of the device (and has no concept of files, etc) .. so the resulting output is just an image (of the filesystem) as opposed to an archive containing files | 18:44 |
| ataufik | heloo... I need help my GDM won't back normally after I change xorg.conf. I am using Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M on laptop Compaq Presario 2500 | 18:44 |
| DasEi | twig11: yes, not the worst scene then, if internal is also sata, should get ~ 20g transferrate | 18:46 |
| aaron | unop: So what does the resulting image look like? How would I access the files on it? Just mount it? | 18:46 |
| ataufik | all xorg.conf was actually back from beginning with command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 18:46 |
| unop | aaron, it's because dd does not know about file boundaries, etc, etc that it copies free space too (which can be inconvenient) .. if you have 10G of files on a 40G partition .. your image is 40G in size, not 10G | 18:46 |
| twig11 | DasEi: 20GB/hour? | 18:46 |
| unop | aaron, the image will be a binary file .. yea, you can mount it - against the loopback device and then access files | 18:47 |
| twig11 | DasEi: I don't know what the internal one is. | 18:47 |
| twig11 | DasEi: but I think it takes over an hour to transfer 50 GB. | 18:47 |
| aaron | unop: Okay... so it wouldn't be a bad thing to dd a 40gb partition onto my /home partition that is 200gb, right? It would end up being a single, 40gb file, correct? | 18:47 |

| Mr-Woof | any cd | 18:50 |
| Mr-Woof | but will play a cd when in mint | 18:50 |
| FLJohn | Scenario. I have a new computer with Ubuntu on it. My old computer has a drive with Windows XP. I want to see if I can install the old drive in this computer to test whether or not the programs can run under wine. I am not going to try to use windows since it is a Dell version of windows. Does anyone know if IE can be accessed through wine cause I have some apps that will not work with IE6 on here. | 18:50 |
| unop | aaron, i would use dd anyway for now and worry about things later | 18:50 |
| DasEi | Mr-Woof: look an man umount, force-option | 18:51 |
| aaron | unop: hmm... I'd prefer whichever is the simplest and hopefully most effective way of doing it. So if I want to use dd to backup /dev/sdb1 to my /home folder....? | 18:51 |
| ataufik | but the problem is, why after I put xorg.conf back to beginning, my gdm still won't start? It only can be started in low graphics res. | 18:51 |
| Mr-Woof | if i do that dasei, will i be able to format it while it's unmounted? | 18:51 |

| DasEi | Mr-Woof: no, won't | 18:51 |
| Mr-Woof | :( | 18:52 |
| DasEi | Mr-Woof: or did you mean partitoning ? | 18:52 |
| unop | aaron, well, the best way is to use tar or rsync - but as you are experiencing IO errors, dd might be your only option (and even then it isn't guaranteed to work) | 18:52 |
| Mr-Woof | nope format it | 18:52 |

| FLJohn | Maybe I can designate the whole drive as a C-Drive | 19:03 |

| zanberdo | I'm having a problem replacing exim4 with postfix on a hardy server install. When I attempt to install postfix I am prompted that exim4 will be removed (ok so far) but then the removal fails. The output looks like this: http://pastebin.com/d694e1920 | 19:20 |
| ghostknife | Sub-Zero5: I didn't repeat my question? | 19:20 |
| ghostknife | Sub-Zero5: in fact, I'm very patient and am busy going a google run | 19:21 |

| Sub-Zero5 | lolers | 19:21 |
| zanberdo | it appears as though apt-get is removing exim4-base and exim4-config before exim4-daemon-heavy. But when I attempt to remove exim4-daemon-heavy I'm forced to install exim4-daemon-light. Evidently exim4 needs the daemon. | 19:21 |
| asfjio | mobi-sheep: so do i need the definition CUSTOM_PATH in my ~/.bash_profile or not? | 19:22 |
| mobi-sheep | asfjio: It depends on preferences. What are you trying to do? | 19:22 |
| zanberdo | bottom line is: if I attempt to just remove exim4 I get dependency issues with a number of apps such as logwatch, logrotate and mailx. I've tried removing them, but then further dependency issues are unresolved. Any idea how I can replace exim4 with postfix? | 19:23 |
| asfjio | mobi-sheep: to have this custom path when i restart or somehing. ok i will leave my CUSTOM_PATH variable as it is now. | 19:23 |

| jsteel | Hi. I'm trying to build a custom kernel with a patch to support the latest winbond watchdog. I run `fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers` and everything works great except the /lib comes out to be 1.1GB. Compare that to the 100-200MB that the server image creates in lib. Does anybody know how to make my image smaller? Whats the magical incantation to make? | 19:46 |

| ghostknife | is there a way to configure aptitude to never delete .deb packages from /var/cache/apt/archives? | 20:21 |
| DasEi | ubuntuUSR: in harder cases, there is less busy (and often less pesponsive) #grub, I guess you already tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 20:21 |
| frostburn | myth10, you may need to convert them to a different form, but that's not too hard... iirc ipcop has both the CA and cert in one file | 20:21 |
| fccf | fluitfries: how about this http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/spec-ipp.html#page-label | 20:21 |
| ubuntuUSR | DasEi: i remember that one day grub was completly destroyed. even xp won`t run. but i used fixmbr and another one windows-like command, and from that day i can run only windows | 20:22 |
| ghostknife | I have to rsync that directory regularly just to keep the files. it seems overkill for a reason that seems valid for a feature | 20:22 |
| Sh3r1ff | ghostknife: in preferences > files > leave all files in cache | 20:22 |

Is there a better way of preparing to connect the user accoun | 20:24 |

| DasEi | KEBA1 I use streamtuner or amarok for it, works fine | 20:28 |
| ghostknife | Sh3r1ff: I know X11 forwarding, but firstly, I can't forward the top menus (at least not simply), and secondly: it's far too slow. I just ended a very long X11 forwarded session, and to wait 20 seconds just to open the file menu, and 15seconds to wait for an entry to be highlighted when hovering the mouse over it is far to slow to be acceptable. There has to be an alternative on the terminal (a config file or console program) | 20:28 |
| flaviosnm | guntbert: and i have installed in others pcs | 20:28 |
| moreia | I did reboot, though only once. | 20:28 |
| twig11 | I imported two user folders into /home from a fat drive backup. I want to set up a user with the same name as one of the folders, but I can't do it because a home folder with that name already exists. I want the existing home folder to be the home folder of the user I'm creating; how should I go about accomplishing this? | 20:29 |

| ma5t3rw1tt | Hey what's new with ubuntu | 20:29 |
| Sh3r1ff | ghostknife: just open a remote terminal and open synaptic from that terminal, you don't need the whole graphic | 20:29 |
| moreia | frostburn: yes | 20:29 |
| ghostknife | Sh3r1ff: another problem with X11 forwarded session is that I can't just click on something, go away and do something else, because when I shift back to the process it has to reload things over the network. So I'm forced to sit and wait | 20:29 |
| guntbert | flaviosnm: I see, but I've never heard of error 5... | 20:29 |

| arand | moreia: Wat does "sudo dhclient eth0" do for you? | 20:38 |
| Pici | ghostknife: I don't believe that it does delete them unless you do apt-get clean. Take a look at the apt.conf manpage to see how to set the caching limits though. | 20:38 |

| ghostknife | pup: yes. if you make your "public key" public on a key server, then people can look it up to verify messages you send, and to also encrypt messages they send to you | 20:50 |

| ghostknife | pup: because people need your key to verify your messages and to encrypt messages they send to you. so you need to either send it to them, or make it public (which is safe). as long as you keep your private key secure, you can give your public key to anyone | 20:51 |

| fwaokda | deany, man sucks... I'll post something in the forums and hopefully someone can give some answers | 20:53 |
| frostburn | oo-dragon, join their mailing list | 20:53 |
| deany | fwaokda, The only thing you can do is change the scheduler// | 20:53 |
| flaviosnm | guntbert: ok my friend! thank you for a while, i need to go now | 20:53 |
| ghostknife | in thie middle of a conversation. how rude. heh | 20:53 |
| fwaokda | deany, whats the scheduler? | 20:54 |
| AncientSocrates | frostburn: do you know if ultimate edition is good? | 20:54 |
| AncientSocrates | its based on ubuntu | 20:54 |
| flaviosnm | guntbert: i will try one more time. | 20:54 |
| guntbert | flaviosnm: hmm, I just wanted to say that I'm at the end of ideas - good luck to you | 20:54 |
| ghostknife | damn. I took a typing class. I used to type at 100wpm with a 96% accuracy. now I type at 48wpm with a 92% accuracy. damnit | 20:54 |
| flaviosnm | guntbert: ok don't worry :) | 20:55 |
| frostburn | AncientSocrates, never heard of it, i only use gentoo, ubuntu, debian, rhel, centos, fedora on a regular basis | 20:55 |
| mzz | ghostknife: what's measuring? just curious :) | 20:55 |
| ghostknife | rather, I took a typing class means 'I purchased and used typing instructor software' | 20:55 |
| moreia | guntburt: pastebin. easier said than done. But it is at http://pastebin.com/m115ba2df | 20:55 |
| wizzo50 | frostburn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/217227/ I have done it and still no luck on running Weechat. | 20:55 |
| * mzz has yet to figure out how long a "w" in the "wpm" metric is | 20:55 | |
| deany | fwaokda, google a guide to change the scheduler from cfq to deadline | 20:55 |
| ghostknife | mzz: Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and KTouch | 20:55 |
| deany | I cant remember at this moment | 20:55 |
| ghostknife | mzz: in general it's 5. | 20:55 |
| wizzo50 | seeds: How did you get weechat to run? I have done all this and no luck. http://paste.ubuntu.com/217227/ | 20:56 |
| guntbert | moreia: I'll have a look, in the meantime look what you get from /msg ubottu tab :-) | 20:56 |
| ghostknife | mzz: though it's just like the metric system, where 1km is 1000m. 10characters/minute = 2words/minute | 20:56 |
| deany | fwaokda, it did nothing for me really. making a large static vbox hard disk image for instance completely makes my pc unusable till its done making it. sad but true. | 20:56 |
| ghostknife | mzz: so it's just a more friendly way to say characters/minute or /second | 20:56 |
| jrib | wizzo50: it's weechat-curses | 20:56 |
| OttifantSir | AncientSocrates: Ultimate Edition is quite good, but personally I think Mint is better. Anyhow, discussion of "best" is to be taken in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 20:56 |
| fwaokda | deany, i'll look into it thanks | 20:56 |

| DasEi2 | deany: for example nice 15 virtualbox; see man nice | 20:58 |
| Gadu | ctrl+c = bad in this case | 20:59 |
| Gadu | q worked | 20:59 |
| mzz | deany: if it's stuck doing io you'll want ionice, not nice. | 20:59 |
| mzz | deany: see "man ionice", specifically the idle priority class. | 20:59 |
| DasEi2 | :) | 21:00 |
| ghostknife | mzz: though smarter typing sotware like Mavis Beacon has clever measurements, where you're wpm is adapted using your accuracy. so it gives a more reliable measurement (which assumes you made corrections). So if you typed 100characters, backspaced 5 and typed those 5 again (a correction), you typed a bit slower. Haven't given much thought to the actual method of adaption though. | 21:00 |
| Meteor``` | tell me some player which can play every format, as i used KLite codecs in windows | 21:00 |
| racecar56 | im going to make some modifications with kblocks (which is in kdegames), should i get the bzr version or the one you get with apt-get source? | 21:00 |
| frostburn | Meteor```, vlc | 21:00 |
| racecar56 | Meteor```: mplayer > everythig | 21:00 |
| twig11 | whatvn: so in my case, when I've already got a directory called "family" in /home, I would use sudo useradd -g family -s /bash -d /family family ? | 21:00 |
| racecar56 | Meteor```: mplayer > everything | 21:00 |
| deany | no permanent fix like the scheduler? dont wanna have to run programs like that. | 21:00 |
| guntbert | moreia: got it, it seems strange that most files are old and empty, so maybe your symlinking did something bad | 21:00 |
| Socah | Meteor```, you need codecs, not player | 21:00 |
| racecar56 | Socah: o | 21:01 |
| mzz | ghostknife: I've used (and partially written) such software, but it simply measures characters, not words. Words seems a bit confusing here, unless the time you take for the space bar is very significant :) | 21:01 |
| racecar56 | Meteor```: w32codecs? | 21:01 |
| racecar56 | Meteor```: or w64codecs | 21:01 |
| jrib | twig11: is there a reason you don't just use adduser? | 21:01 |
| whatvn | twig11, group family must exist | 21:01 |
| frostburn | racecar56, Meteor```, vlc has them all compiled in, no need for external w32codecs | 21:01 |
| Meteor``` | I tried playing different formats by the default ubuntu movie player. | 21:01 |
| deany | I use ninan for instance, binary newsgroup downloader, and it auto unrars the files, its a java app and run with "nohup etc" | 21:01 |
| ghostknife | mzz: well, spacebar is very quick. check the wikipedia article for WPM | 21:01 |
| moreia | guntbert: not inconcievable. I partitioned poorly when I first installed, and there's no going back without repartitioning the whole beast. | 21:01 |
| Meteor``` | Its downloading, for everything. | 21:01 |
| === shazam is now known as palomer | ||
| Socah | frostburn, but vlc is not such good as having codecs and using mplayer imo | 21:02 |
| twig11 | jrib: you mean the graphical interface? | 21:02 |
| ghostknife | mzz: spacebar is the quickest key, since you're thumb is always very quick to the key (being it's only purpose in touch typing) | 21:02 |
| jrib | twig11: nope, I mean the "adduser" command | 21:02 |

| Meteor``` | I need something, after installing which I can play formats such as, mp3, mkv, avi, mpeg | 21:03 |
| jrib | twig11: if you want to add a user with adduser, you just do: adduser name_of_user. It sets everything up for you | 21:03 |

| guntbert | moreia: why don't you use the live CD? | 21:04 |

| moreia | guntbert: I don't have a CD burner either. | 21:05 |

| Bilge | arand: this whole backports thing seems more complicated that compiling to me. Compiling isn't complicated. ./configure && make and you're usually done. | 21:17 |

| xantian | thx | 21:19 |
| ghostknife | aatee_: that's usually just the download software having a minor miscalculation on a small time scale | 21:19 |

| jrib | twig11: ls -ld DIRECTORY | 21:21 |
| guntbert | moreia: are you back? | 21:21 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | arand, thanks for the input | 21:21 |

| deany | Bilge, ubuntu in general only has 1 version of software in its repos. it only provides updates to those versions, which is quite bad when it doesnt provide feature based updates for its default installed programs like pidgin, that do benefit from upgrades, but then its down to you to manually update them yourself. try looking for some ppa`s ? | 21:25 |

| owen1 | SiON42X: can i use them with awesome? | 22:27 |
| twig11 | DasEi2: It put up a message that I'm starting it without administrative privileges, and it started fine. | 22:27 |

| quincy | yes | 22:27 |

| DasEi2 | Kenny: replace Kenny with regualr users name : sudo chown -R Kenny ~/the_downloads | 22:28 |
| lstarnes | Kenny: just put in your regular password | 22:28 |
| jlaroche | SiON42X - when I try to explain a problem by explicitly stating all the circumstances revolving around it I tend to never get any help | 22:28 |
| GnomeKing | ikonia, does that flash script get the latest version of the plugin? there are several things that don't work with it :/ | 22:28 |
| wizzo50 | DasEi2: Then put your password in | 22:28 |
| SiON42X | jlaroche: And your current method is working better, is it? =) | 22:28 |
| quincy | dmesg gives heaps of stuff | 22:28 |
| quincy | shouldi paste it for you guys> | 22:28 |
| DasEi2 | twig11: no pw-prompt ? close synaptic, sudo synaptic | 22:29 |
| ikonia | GnomeKing: it gets the best supported/compatible in ubuntu | 22:29 |
| Kenny | ok now it says kenny@kennydesktop | 22:29 |
| jlaroche | SiON42X - I don't think any method works in here | 22:29 |
| SiON42X | jlaroche: Touche. | 22:29 |
| quincy | frostburn and ikonia (pastie.org time?) | 22:29 |

| frostburn | quincy, sure | 22:29 |

| DasEi2 | twig11: if you just start synaptic via menu ? | 22:30 |
| jlaroche | lol | 22:30 |
| StrangeCharm_ | linduxed- i'm pretty sure that it is not normal for any of the installers to fail ever (unless you want them to do something they can't) | 22:30 |
| Dulak | jlaroche: people who help others in here do it to give back to the community, not everyone is a programmer can can contribute that way. | 22:31 |
| metatagg | hello, i've installed both KDE4 and gnome on my machine, how do I remove kde4= | 22:31 |
| metatagg | ? | 22:31 |
| linduxed | StrangeCharm_: well i just came to the step where you choose the software... and it tells me that the step fails | 22:31 |
| SiON42X | If you want info about Kommander I'd probably go to #kubuntu | 22:31 |
| jlaroche | Dulak - I know that. I am not brain dead. | 22:31 |
| linduxed | StrangeCharm_: and then i get a full stop | 22:31 |
| wizzo50 | metatagg: Uninstall it | 22:31 |
| StrangeCharm_ | have you tried again linduxed? | 22:31 |
| cisco | héy | 22:31 |
| twig11 | DasEi2: it takes my password then crashes no matter how I start it. (unless I run without admin priveleges, apparently.) | 22:31 |
| linduxed | StrangeCharm_: 4 times | 22:32 |
| metatagg | wizzo50 apt-get remove kde4 ? :O | 22:32 |
| TheLinuxMoron | Does anyone know what commander is supposely it has to do with kde which im using gnome.. anyone? | 22:32 |
| TheLinuxMoron | kommander rather | 22:32 |
| StrangeCharm_ | linduxed- have you checked the disk for errors? | 22:32 |
| DasEi2 | Kenny: now you should be able to save there | 22:32 |
| linduxed | StrangeCharm_: hmmm, no | 22:32 |
| Kenny | DasEi2: i still don't seem to be understanding very much | 22:32 |
| metatagg | wizzo50: what to remove? | 22:32 |
| Kenny | sorry | 22:32 |
| StrangeCharm_ | TheLinuxMoron- kommander is a a graphical filesystem browser | 22:32 |
| DasEi2 | twig11: and that machine still has no network ? not wired, also ? | 22:33 |
| wizzo50 | metatagg: I am not sure | 22:33 |
| panfistmx | hi, i have a dvd video ripped in both ISO and video_ts formats and i need to break it up into three chunks for uploading to youtube. is there a program in the ubuntu repos to do this pretty easily, without transcoding/quality reduction? | 22:33 |
| TheLinuxMoron | strangecharm_: does ubuntu gnome have it? | 22:33 |
| twig11 | DasEi2: right | 22:33 |
| steve__ | Kenny: where are you stuck? | 22:33 |
| StrangeCharm_ | linduxed- i recommend that you try that, to be sure. and - what the heck, if you're really worried - check your ram and hdd too | 22:33 |
| ikonia | TheLinuxMoron: no, but you can use it on gnome with kde libraries | 22:33 |
| DasEi2 | Kenny: you now have a dir ~/the_downloads where you can save to | 22:33 |
| TheLinuxMoron | ikonia: ok so just install kde then | 22:34 |
| ikonia | TheLinuxMoron: it will do it for you | 22:34 |
| Kenny | steve: well it is saying that i dont have room in my file system but my file system includes my 300 gb hard drive | 22:34 |
| StrangeCharm_ | TheLinuxMoron- gnome has a different file browser. why not use that? | 22:34 |
| DasEi2 | Kenny: to gather information about space, do : | 22:34 |
| codeshah | hey guys, I want to test my websites on IE in ubuntu - what are my options? | 22:34 |
| DasEi2 | Kenny: cd ~/the_downloads | 22:34 |
| frostburn | quincy, ikonia it looks like it's not able to mount the usb drive for whatever reason (-62) not sure what that is, would have to look through the code... there's numerous hits on google regarding this issue and ubuntu ranging from hub ports failing and bad cables, i used this search http://qurl.com/d8tvf | 22:34 |
| fragalot | codeshah: browsershots is a good site for that | 22:34 |

| codeshah | fragalot, thanks | 22:35 |

| TheLinuxMoron | ikonia: I went to synatpic and typed in kde, but under the list of stuff it will install kommander isn't listed why? | 22:35 |
| Kenny | DasEi2: so what exactly do i have to enter in terminal from start to finish? | 22:35 |
| StrangeCharm_ | anchovy00- should do. what's broken? | 22:35 |
| racecar56 | what package do you normally get mpeg2video from? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | TheLinuxMoron: install kommander, kde will get installed by default with it | 22:36 |
| quincy | frostburn,i think its a driver issue,uin wondows and in 8.10 it works correctly | 22:36 |
| anchovy00 | StrangeCharm_, one of my friends is at Fry's and called me to see if it was supported. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | quincy: does it show up with lsusb ? | 22:36 |
| TheLinuxMoron | ikonia: will I need to switch out of gnome into kde or can I use kommander with in what im doing now.. man this linux stuff is crazy just to get one thing working | 22:36 |
| DasEi2 | Kenny: you set up that dir and gave write permission to the regular user, so you can save stuff there | 22:36 |
| frostburn | quincy, most likely | 22:36 |
| quincy | ikonia,yes | 22:36 |

| panfistmx | are there any programs which can help me prepare videos to upload to youtube? | 22:37 |
| StrangeCharm_ | anchovy00- i would be very surprised if it were not supported. wireless usb keyboards are pretty much totally standard. however, the crazyinsane advanced features may not be the same | 22:37 |
| ikonia | quincy: can you pastebin the output of lsusb | 22:37 |
| quincy | juse | 22:37 |

| frostburn | nerdy_kid, i use a script to mount my smb shares, check out this, http://pastebin.com/m70a1cb8 http://pastebin.com/m540adafa | 22:42 |
| moymoy | panfistmx: download handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download -> then `sudo mount -o loop /your/iso/file /media/cdrom0` | 22:42 |
| quincy | and a USB port xD | 22:42 |
| Kenny | DasEi2: yea but when i hit "intstall updates" it says {The upgrade needs a total of 365M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 295M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.} | 22:42 |

| DasEi2 | Kenny: what does df say about your filesystem ? | 22:43 |
| moymoy | panfistmx: no problem.. xD .. you can use handbrake to rip/convert from DVD's, so mounting your iso on /media/cdrom0 should trick it into thinking a DVD's inserted | 22:43 |
| nerdy_kid | frostburn wait, sorry i want to remote connect to the system via RDPv5 sorry | 22:43 |

| frostburn | nerdy_kid, so it's most likely a permissions issue or an auth issue, try using the old rdp protocol rather than the v5 one. you don't specify the port, ms rdp runs off of port 135 by default, i just wanted to make sure that it was accessible from your location, and it is | 23:00 |

| Dulak | hoboman: can you boot windows xp alright? | 23:21 |
| hoboman | no | 23:21 |
| hoboman | i'm trying to, i had PURELY ubuntu 8.10 on it... | 23:22 |
| Magichal | does anyone have any knowledge on why Firefox 3 would randomly erase all of my settings, bookmarks, saved passwords, etc., unprovoked? | 23:22 |
| hoboman | and then... basically i installed windows xp overtop using gateway recovery cd, and... it shuts off at the end, and then | 23:22 |
| Slart | Magichal: sounds like you got yourself a profile problem and firefox created a new one for you | 23:22 |
| hoboman | it says grub error... | 23:22 |
| Dulak | hoboman: you can boot the winxp cd in rescue mode and do a "fdisk /mbr" to wipe out grub and fix the master boot record. | 23:22 |
| Slart | Magichal: run firefox from a terminal.. try "firefox --help".. there is a switch to start with a profile selector.. something like firefox --profilemanager | 23:23 |
| Magichal | Slart: alright, I'll check out the profiles real fast. I literally got up from my computer, left it for an hour, came back, and all my settings were erase.d and I know that no one used my computer while I was up. | 23:23 |
| hoboman | how do i boot rescue mode? maybe this gateway cd is screwy, i guess i should try to boot the other xp install cd in rescue mode... | 23:23 |
| hoboman | thanks alot. | 23:23 |
| Slart | Magichal: I don't think they are erased.. they are just not being used (if I'm correct) | 23:24 |
| Magichal | Slart: I ran "firefox -profilemanager" like the help file referred to, but nothing regarding profiles came up. just an about:blank screen as I've been experiencing when I would open Firefox normally, without the -profilemanager tag. | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | Magichal: What are the permissions for your ~/.mozilla directory? ( Google earth's installer idiodically starts firefox as root to display a help page, after which firefox doesn't have permission to read ~/.mozilla since it's owned by root ) | 23:25 |
| Slart | Jordan_U: sigh... silly silly google earth | 23:25 |
| capleton | Could anyone here help me with an xfce question??? | 23:25 |
| Magichal | Jordan_U: I just checked and my permissions are normal. I can access them without root. | 23:25 |
| Magichal | er, modify them without root. | 23:26 |
| Slart | Magichal: check permissions using ls -l ... I'm guessing you need both read and write permissions or firefox might get upset | 23:26 |
| Slart | Magichal: when you started firefox using the profile manager you didn't get a small dialog window for selecting which profile to use? | 23:27 |
| Magichal | Slart: no, I didn't. it just came up as a blank window. | 23:27 |
| twig11 | I backed up two user folders to a FAT drive and reinstalled Ubuntu9.04. Then I imported both user folders back into /home, and I need to set up a user with one of those folders as his home directory. In other words, /home/family exists, but user family which is supposed to have that directory hasn't been created yet. How do I set this up? some of you were helping earlier, but I was in the middle of a file operation and had to w | 23:27 |
| Magichal | Slart: no toolbars, no firefox toolbar bookmarks, no homepage, absolutely nothing. just a blank white screen. | 23:28 |
| Klowny | how do i get permissions to extract something to the themes folder? | 23:28 |
| Slart | Magichal: try shutting down all running instances of firefox first | 23:28 |
| Magichal | Slart: and when I press the Home button, despite my Edit --> Preferences setting to google, it goes to mozilla.org. | 23:29 |
| Slart | Magichal: run a "pkill firefox" just to be sure | 23:29 |
| twig11 | Please if possible will someone who was helping me before and is familiar with my situation assist me on the question I posted above? | 23:29 |
| mememe | http://jk.loo.mybrute.com/cellule | 23:29 |
| mememe | funny game try it out | 23:29 |
| psyco | how can i re-add my systray to my panel? | 23:29 |
| Magichal | Slart: Okay, Firefox is killed, let me try the profilemanager again. | 23:29 |
| Magichal | ah hah | 23:30 |
| Magichal | thre it is | 23:30 |
| Magichal | there it is.* | 23:30 |
| Magichal | Slart: got the window. the only profile listed is default, which is the only one I created. | 23:30 |
| Slart | Magichal: hmm.. there goes that theory.. | 23:30 |
| Magichal | Slart: I started it with the default profile, and still nothing. same as before. | 23:30 |
| erisol | has anyone here installed xubuntu on a Dell Mini 10? | 23:31 |
| Klowny | it keeps saying i am not the owner so i can not change permissions, anyone know why? | 23:31 |
| erisol | so far everything works but the sound | 23:31 |
| Slart | Magichal: then I don't really know what to try... sorry | 23:31 |
| Magichal | Slart: Okay, well thank you for your help. At least I know I tried the common solution. | 23:32 |
| erisol | the sound cards are listed, so the drivers are running, and I heard a system beep once, but other than that I don't hear anything | 23:32 |
| Magichal | Slart: if I figure out why my Firefox is being wiped, would you like me to report it back to you? | 23:32 |
| Slart | Magichal: I'm off to bed in a minute or so.. but thanks anyway | 23:33 |
| Magichal | Slart: oh alrighty. well thank you again. =) | 23:33 |
| amaretto4u | hi all | 23:33 |
| erisol | hi amaretto4u | 23:33 |
| hdc_ | oi | 23:33 |
| Klowny | oh man this is making me aggravated | 23:33 |
| twig11 | I'd be grateful if somebody who is a little familiar with what I was doing a couple hours ago could help me on this one. I backed up two user folders to a FAT drive and reinstalled Ubuntu9.04. Then I imported both user folders back into /home, and I need to set up a user with one of those folders as his home directory. In other words, /home/family exists, but user family which is supposed to have that directory hasn't been creat | 23:33 |
| Klowny | i only have one single user account associated with ubuntu and it keeps saying ia m not the owner and therefor can not change the permissions of a folder, anyone have any idea? | 23:34 |
| === hdc_ is now known as Guest52374 | ||
| Jordan_U | twig11: I was not helping you before but adduser should use an existing home directory rather than overwiring. That said you will probably have some problems ( if nothing else security problems ) since fat does not preserve permissions on files. | 23:34 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: you wouldn't happen to know anything about troubleshooting sound would you? | 23:34 |
| fccf | Klowny: use sudo | 23:34 |
| fccf | !sudo | Klowny | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Klowny: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 23:34 |
| Klowny | fccf i'm too blonde to do that | 23:34 |
| cached | is SIGQUIT the equivelant of clicking the X at the top right? If not, what is? | 23:34 |
| Klowny | lol ty | 23:34 |
| twig11 | Jordan_U: Thanks! can you give me the actual syntax of the command? | 23:34 |
| amaretto4u | erisol: maybe i can help you | 23:34 |
| erisol | twig11: maybe you should create the home directory and then copy the files | 23:34 |
| twig11 | erisol: I've already got the home directory with the files in it in /home. | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | twig11: "sudo adduser username" | 23:35 |
| fccf | Klowny: hair color is not a requirement for superuser | 23:35 |
| Klowny | yeah but this is still confusing coming from windows | 23:36 |
| th0r | twig11: did you run into problems? | 23:36 |
| erisol | twig11: I meant create the user with the properly named folder, and then replace it with your folder | 23:36 |
| Klowny | what i want is to make the permissions for usr/ | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | twig11: To be extra safe you might want to add --no-create-home but it shouldn't be neccisary | 23:37 |
| Klowny | this explains why my frostwire was not working correctly | 23:37 |
| twig11 | th0r: yeah, some, but I got rid of them on reboot. I couldn't actually mess with that user folder for a couple hours because I was copying it to somewhere else. now I'm ready. | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | twig11: Once you have created the user you need to run "sudo chown -R username:username /home/username" | 23:38 |
| th0r | twig11: did you get the /home/anthony all straighened out? | 23:38 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: the devices are listed by aplay -l, but I don't hear anything, though I think I got a system beep once. I checked the volume, and it isn't muted. | 23:38 |
| nsadmin | Klowny: what are the present permissions? (ls -ld /usr) | 23:38 |
| twig11 | th0r: Jordan_U: can I just go sudo adduser username --no-create-home ? | 23:38 |
| Klowny | one sec let me look at the properties of the folder | 23:38 |
| twig11 | th0r: I think it's good. I'm just leaving it and if I have any trouble I'll mess with it then. | 23:38 |
| nsadmin | Klowny: ls -ld /usr | 23:39 |
| th0r | twig11: I don't think so...would be better to create the directory and then overwrite it | 23:39 |
| Jordan_U | twig11: Yes ( then the command I gave to make the files have the correct owner ) | 23:39 |
| Klowny | i aint sure what you are saying nsadmin lol | 23:39 |
| th0r | twig11: you might have one or two minor issues, but the thing should be just abouit done | 23:39 |
| jtgiri | HI guys, how can I see if my apache is using prefork module or worker module ? | 23:39 |
| nsadmin | oh, then you are not aware of the command line shell? | 23:39 |
| Klowny | i looked in the properties of the folder and all it says is root under permissions | 23:39 |
| Klowny | i'm somewhat aware of the sudo thing in terminal | 23:39 |
| Klowny | but i've only been using ubuntu for 2 days lol | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | Klowny: What are you trying to do? | 23:40 |
| Klowny | simply trying to install a theme | 23:40 |
| nsadmin | Klowny: in terminal, type: ls -ld /usr | cut -f2 | 23:40 |
| Klowny | and i need my permissions granted to me | 23:40 |
| nsadmin | err -f1 | 23:40 |
| th0r | Jordan_U: I am thinking about the link you see between the user and the user's home directory when you open Users and Groups. If he creates the user without a home dir I don't think that link will exist | 23:40 |
| Klowny | can you explain what that does to me so that i will be able to do that to other folders if needed? | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | Klowny: If it's a gnome theme then just drag it into System > Preferences > Appearance | 23:41 |
| Klowny | jordan it is but that isn't the only problem i wasn't even able to save anything in the music folder lol | 23:41 |
| Klowny | it's nuts | 23:41 |
| amaretto4u | erisol: what about sound libraries (ALSA). was installed? which verion of ubuntu You have? | 23:41 |
| nsadmin | Klowny: frankly, it would take more time/energy than I have... man ls | 23:41 |
| Klowny | k | 23:41 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: xubuntu 9.04 | 23:41 |
| Klowny | drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2009-07-12 17:23 /usr | 23:42 |
| Klowny | that's the reply the terminal gave is that ok? | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | th0r: The wording in the man page for adduser suggests otherwise, though it doesn't say it explicitly so you might be right to err on the side of caution | 23:42 |
| amaretto4u | erisol: strange, i have no problems with sound since 6.10 | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | Klowny: That is normal and you should not change it. Where were you trying to save music to? | 23:43 |
| nsadmin | yeah, the first "word" is the permissions... the root root is "owned by user named root" and "owned by group named root" | 23:43 |
| amaretto4u | erisol: what kind of sound card you have? | 23:43 |
| Klowny | to the music folder | 23:43 |
| MoshMage | hi, any idea where i can find the godamn libtag-extras0 so i can install the freakin amarok so i can use that obsolete script? | 23:44 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: % aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: INTEL HDMI [INTEL HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | Klowny: What is the output of "ls -ld ~/Music" ? | 23:44 |
| nsadmin | the thing is /usr is manipulated by ubuntu packaging, and it will get confused if you put stuff in there | 23:44 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: % aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: INTEL HDMI [INTEL HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 | 23:44 |
| erisol | whoops | 23:44 |
| twig11 | th0r: Jordan_U: Sorry I was away for a bit. I err on the cautious side and I think I'll try the renaming thing. What's the best way to do that in terminal? | 23:45 |
| fccf | Klowny: you want to save things in /home/username/ not /usr .... /usr is userspace programming and not a good place to F with | 23:45 |
| Klowny | oh | 23:45 |
| th0r | twig11: what exactly do you want to do? | 23:45 |
| MoshMage | FOUND IT ;D | 23:45 |
| MoshMage | ahaha, or maybe not. | 23:46 |
| twig11 | th0r: sorry. I want to rename /home/family to something else, then create a user named family, then overwrite the user's home directory with the one I renamed. | 23:46 |
| Klowny | ok there we go lol | 23:46 |
| Klowny | sorry about that | 23:46 |
| Klowny | it's fixed now | 23:47 |
| rTk^cool | i needhelp getting ubuntu on a ext3partition i have set up | 23:47 |
| th0r | twig11: ok...no problem. rename the original with 'mv /home/family /home/newname' | 23:47 |
| twig11 | th0r: I can't just right-click >rename because it's inactive | 23:47 |
| nsadmin | Klowny some things you should do: 1, figure out what each dir off of / is for... get more familiar with the shell... learn these commands: cd ls mkdir rmdir cat more | 23:47 |
| twig11 | th0r: okay | 23:47 |
| Klowny | see i picked ubuntu because i thought it was very user friendly, as close to windows is lol | 23:47 |
| amaretto4u | erisol: lspci | grep -i audio | 23:47 |
| twig11 | th0r: sudo, right? | 23:47 |
| Klowny | i didn't know i'd have to learn things like that | 23:47 |
| th0r | twig11: right sudo | 23:47 |
| rTk^cool | i am installing right now, i already have the ext3 set up. | 23:48 |
| nsadmin | Klowny: well you don't have to do anything... | 23:48 |
| rTk^cool | i choose specify partitions manually | 23:48 |
| Meteor``` | I thought the same to Klowny. | 23:48 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio Controller (rev 06) | 23:48 |
| nsadmin | but you'll be glad you did | 23:48 |
| Jordan_U | twig11: "sudo mv /home/family /home/family-bak && sudo adduser family && sudo mv /home/family-bak /home/family && sudo chown -R family:family /home/family" | 23:48 |
| Meteor``` | Its worth learning it. | 23:48 |
| th0r | twig11: sorry...missed your question. Yes, you could have used right click | 23:48 |
| rTk^cool | then select it and it says no root on the partition? | 23:48 |
| tr4st | hi | 23:48 |
| th0r | twig11: then create the new user | 23:48 |
| Klowny | i just think this is overwhelming lol | 23:49 |
| rTk^cool | someone please | 23:49 |
| twig11 | th0r: Jordan gave me the commands up there. | 23:49 |
| Klowny | going from a stupid windows user to an even dumber ubuntu user :P | 23:49 |
| nsadmin | Klowny: I can understand that... just take one thing at a time | 23:49 |
| th0r | twig11: ok...let me know if you need something more | 23:49 |
| rTk^cool | jesus why r u ignoring me | 23:49 |
| twig11 | th0r: thanks a million you guys. I'm sure i'll be back with some wireless questions in a little. | 23:50 |
| rTk^cool | im trying to install ubuntu on an ext3 partition i have set up | 23:50 |
| rTk^cool | i get nor root file system is defined | 23:50 |
| nsadmin | rTk^cool: go into the partitioner, | 23:50 |
| amaretto4u | erisol: alsaconf? | 23:50 |
| nsadmin | go into the ext3 partition you set up, | 23:50 |
| rTk^cool | thanks everyone | 23:51 |
| Klowny | see like even though my music folder has permissions set frostwire says i am not allowed to save files there | 23:51 |
| nsadmin | see if you can say "use this as /" | 23:51 |
| rTk^cool | ok | 23:51 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: is that a file or a command? | 23:51 |
| amaretto4u | command | 23:51 |
| rTk^cool | from the installation boot? | 23:51 |
| erisol | amaretto4u: hmm, isn't working | 23:51 |
| rTk^cool | use as ext3 journaling file system | 23:51 |
| nsadmin | rTk^cool: ask you this question... do you have just that one machine? or do you have another you can irc with? | 23:52 |
