| rTk^cool | how do I dual boot | 00:00 |
| arkts1 | is directx installed in WINE already? | 00:00 |
| nsadmin | rTk^cool: that will be in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst which you can edit after you install | 00:01 |
| rTk^cool | ok thanks | 00:01 |
| nsadmin | does compiz and kde play nice together? | 00:01 |
| geirha | rTk^cool: If ubuntu detects other operating systems during install, it will automatically set up dual boot for you | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | barqers: Please do file a bug report if you have time, then try running "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180" and once that is done try enabling the driver with System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 00:01 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:03 |

| Jordan_U | twig11: It probably does need ndiswrapper since it's USB and not working out of the box, but you can check by searching if there is a driver with the information printed from lsusb ( not the modle on the box as that tells you little about what the actual chipset is ) | 00:13 |

| Jordan_U | Kreg-Work: If you do run apt-get dist-upgrade pay attention to what it wants to remove if anything before saying yes | 00:19 |
| Kreg-Work | Jordan_U: I am not trying a dist-upgrade . Update manager is listing just kernel related packages. is upgradeing a kernel consider a dist upgrade? | 00:19 |

| tarzeau | h4f: which it doesn't play | 01:05 |
| tarzeau | h4f: that's right | 01:05 |

| tarzeau | Magichal: do you run iceweasel and firefox, different versions? | 01:05 |
| manbreadj | suddenly, i get no response. what was it that offended? is it the fact i'm on a mini? my dislike of all things microsoft? why am i now scorned so? | 01:05 |

| tarzeau | h4f: yeah, ask #mplayer | 01:05 |

| manbreadj | so i 'm on a dell mini. really, its not mine-its for my son... | 01:11 |

| blaine00 | Does anyone know if Ubuntu running really slow can be a driver issue? I've tried all versions from 7.04 to the current version on a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop and it runs way slower than XP does on the same machine. | 01:11 |
| dragon_ | Magichal: so did you install 3.5 and start using that? | 01:11 |
| manbreadj | i was installing updates and -surprise!- i run out of space and get an error. | 01:11 |
| tester_ | hey all .. what is that program in ubuntu that lets you extract rar files ? | 01:11 |
| Magichal | dragon_u: on your problem, I think VLC media player plays xvid videos. and I'll try installing 3.5 right now. | 01:11 |
| manbreadj | but now things have changed: | 01:12 |
| dragon_ | blaine00: start with the task monitor. Go to a terminal and run `top`, and see if there's a program hogging up all the resources. | 01:12 |
| Socah | dragon_, try this: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad w32codecs | 01:12 |
| Magichal | dragon_u: if not, i'm sure you can find a codecs pack somewhere. | 01:12 |
| laeg | !firewall | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 01:12 |
| manbreadj | some menu options have disappeared, some menu options don't respond, quit doesn't bring up shutdown options.... | 01:13 |
| dragon_ | VLC didn't work so far, and those codec packages are installed. | 01:13 |
| manbreadj | what do i do to fix this stuff? | 01:13 |
| porter1 | Anyone know what the command is that retrieves the build options from an installed package for programs that use it as a liubrary? | 01:13 |
| Socah | dragon_, I will check all packages that I have installed and are related to codecs | 01:14 |
| barqers | Does anyone know how to install the theme XNTricity? | 01:14 |
| Hilikus | hey guys | 01:15 |
| dragon_ | Magichal: btw, firefox has a keyboad shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + Del something) that removes all the history and personal data. Still, I think your firefox's config directory is missing or inaccessible. | 01:15 |
| Hilikus | is there a way to decrease the countdown to shutdown or restart ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| cfedde | I'm getting a trinitron like flash in my lcd monitor from a nvidia card. Does anyone else see that? | 01:15 |
| Socah | dragon_, what about package ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 01:16 |
| barqers | When I try to install a theme it says "This theme will not be displayed properly because the window manager Gilouche is not installed" | 01:16 |
| dragon_ | Socah: i was refraining from installing that since it comes with a lot of extra stuff | 01:16 |
| manbreadj | ok, somebody help me out here. i'm new to this crap. folks were helping me a few minutes ago, now i get no response. did I offend some protocol i don't know about? have i stumped all of you geniuses? is my ignorance that offensive? | 01:17 |
| Socah | dragon_, it's ur choice, but I have almost all gstreamer packages, and this restricted extras... no problem with opening any media files with totem | 01:17 |
| dragon_ | Socah: even xvid works well? | 01:17 |
| rTk^cool | how do I get to Windows from ubuntu in dual boot | 01:17 |
| Socah | dragon_, for me, yes | 01:17 |
| th0r | manbreadj: well, copping an attitude probably isn't helpiing | 01:18 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: you have partion updates ... things are probably in a mess | 01:18 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: you need to get more space | 01:18 |
| blaine00 | I've pretty much disabled everything I could. There doesn't seem to be any program that stands out. Window refresh is slow and glitchy and programs seem to take a while to load and stay sluggish once they are loaded. I've tried Firefox, swiftfox, and Synaptic and all are unbareably slow. This is a fresh install of 9.04. | 01:18 |
| MaT-dg | rTk^cool: you already have windows and ubuntu installed in dual boot and are now on windows? | 01:18 |
| dragon_ | Socah: It might be an issue with the xvid file in that case. I have almost all gstreamer packages, and tried others but none worked. Moreover, I haven't had a codec problem before. | 01:18 |
| manbreadj | this is not an attitude. i just don't know whats going on. im trying to be clever and sarcastic... | 01:19 |
| rTk^cool | no I'm in ubuntu | 01:19 |
| dragon_ | rTk^cool: you restart the machine and select the OS at the beginning | 01:19 |
| rTk^cool | just want to know how to switch | 01:19 |
| rTk^cool | oh u can't. have. both at the same time? | 01:19 |

| dragon_ | !pm > FROMTPERU | 01:20 |
| ubottu | FROMTPERU, please see my private message | 01:20 |
| Socah | dragon_, you could try to check if you got installed gnome-codec-install package, and open xvid file with totem, it should prompt to install codecs if you don't got them... if it will not prompt, propably it's a issue with your packages | 01:20 |
| barqers | Guys what does it mean when it says "This theme will not look as intended because the required window manager theme 'Gilouche' is not installed"? | 01:20 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: start a terminal ... or press Alt+Ctrl+F1 to switch to text mode ... do "df" and see | 01:20 |
| Magichal | dragon_u: I'm now using Firefox 3.5, and the only functionality I've gained back is my ability to have a home page. I have a URL bar and a home page now, but my browser still can't import my old bookmarks (the error message says: "Unable to process the backup file."), and I still don't have a browsing history. | 01:20 |
| dragon_ | Magichal: in that case, you should consider filing a bug. | 01:21 |
| Magichal | Jordan_U: I know it's all there, I'm seeing it in the home/<user>/.mozilla directory, it's just not loading now. | 01:21 |
| Socah | Magichal, I see there are more problems with Firefox over the time. Last day, guy had problem with continously prompting for restart of firefox, even when he removed configs, purged package and installed it again, problem was still not solved. Strange. | 01:22 |
| Jordan_U | Magichal: Are you more concerned with recovering your old data or getting firefox to start saving settings / history from now on ( or both ) ? | 01:22 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: the lines with /dev/sda or /dev/hda are the ones to pay attention to ... sometimes also /dev/sdb or /dev/hdb | 01:22 |
| Magichal | dragon_: would changing GTK themes have anything to do with this? recently I tweaked my GTK theme a little bit, and none of these problems were happening before I did such. | 01:22 |
| manbreadj | the /dev/sda2 usage is 100%. | 01:22 |

| Skaperen | manbreadj: how big is sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4, etc? | 01:23 |
| dragon_ | Socah: problem was with the video file. Other xvid videos are playing well. | 01:23 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: the first column with numbers | 01:23 |
| dragon_ | Socah: thanks for the help | 01:23 |
| Magichal | Jordan_U: I'm more concerned with making Firefox save things, like browsing history and bookmarks. I found a list of backed up bookmarks in my /,mozilla/firefox/<profile> folder, but when I try to import the backup list, Firefox won't let me. I can still open it with a text editor and retrieve all of my bookmarks, though. so I technically can reassemble my bookmarks if I can find a way to have Firefox start saving things again. | 01:23 |
| Socah | dragon_, you solved it urself, so you are welcome | 01:24 |
| Hilikus | is there a way to decrease the countdown to shutdown or restart ubuntu? | 01:24 |
| Jordan_U | Magichal: Have you tried renaming your ~/.mozilla and starting firefox so that it starts from scratch? | 01:24 |
| dragon_ | Magichal: Google Bookmarks might have a way of importing that bookmark file.. | 01:24 |
| dragon_ | Hilikus: I think there is. Let me check. | 01:25 |
| manbreadj | thats the only one listed. there's varrun, varlock, udev, a few others | 01:25 |
| Skaperen | Hilikus: are you one of those people that wants it to be 5 seconds? | 01:25 |
| Hilikus | Magichal: did you create a new profile yet? | 01:25 |
| blaine00 | If usage is 100%, I would suggest moving some data off of that partition. Ubuntu doesn't react well to not having any space. | 01:25 |

| Skaperen | manbreadj: this is a 4G storage device? | 01:28 |
| porter1 | Is it possible to force all installed libraries to also install 32 bit versions? | 01:28 |
| Magichal | dragon_: now that my browser is saving things, I'll try to import the bookmarks like I did before. | 01:28 |
| micah | can someone please tell me how to put the panel at the top instead of the left side of the screen???? | 01:29 |
| manbreadj | i don't thinks so. I'm on a dell mini and my son has a sd card in it | 01:29 |
| porter1 | micah, right click->properties, change orientation | 01:29 |
| micah | thank you porter | 01:29 |
| rTk^cool | oh thats kinda cool | 01:29 |
| redrebel | I have the latest ubuntu, and when doesn't have the shutdown or logoff option uder System | 01:30 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: the number you gave looks like a 4G device with some shaved off maybe for swap space ... did you install onto the SD card? | 01:30 |
| redrebel | any ideas? | 01:30 |
| porter1 | redrebel, it's been moved into a new applet. | 01:31 |
| Zetsubou | Neh, anyone have any knowledge with wacom tablets at all? :x | 01:31 |
| porter1 | See your name? Click on it, you'll see logout options. | 01:31 |
| manbreadj | no i don't think so. i just followed the prompts from the update manager. | 01:31 |
| porter1 | Zetsubou, what about? | 01:31 |
| === booboo is now known as coz_ | ||
| Skaperen | manbreadj: it sounds like you installed more than I did, or have other data taking up space (like downloaded music) | 01:32 |
| Zetsubou | porter1: Well I explained above but I guess nobody saw, but.. My wacom tablet is not detecting pen strokes, or, the pen in general. It was kinda working before without pen pressure, so I installed the wacom tools from synaptic, annnnd then I restarted and now I'm kinda stuck at it not detecting the pen. | 01:32 |
| kansan___ | flash on firefox 3.5 installed on ubuntu hardy does not work. ideas? | 01:32 |
| gnac__ | So I just got an HP mini mi with some custom version of Hardy Heron on it. I'm a bit disapointed by the lack of package access I am used to with gentoo and sabayon. Are there package repositories for things like truecrypt and citrix icaclient that I should be aware of? Its using lpia. | 01:33 |
| dragon_ | Hilikus: I couldn't find of a way of reducing that countdown. To completely get rid of those dialogs, run gconf-editor and check: apps > panel > applets > fast_user_switch > prefs > suppress_logout_restart_shutdown | 01:33 |
| === gnac__ is now known as gnac_ | ||
| Cube_ | ok im aware this isnt the ideal place to ask, but its kinda related (since ive been using that feature on ubuntu): how can i symlink on windows? | 01:33 |
| dragon_ | redrebel: the shutdown, logoff etc. options have been moved to the user switcher applet, somewhere around top-right | 01:33 |
| redrebel | oh | 01:33 |
| Skaperen | Cube_: you can't | 01:34 |
| porter1 | Zetsubou, well, I'm, guessing the wacom-tools package is incorrectly. The only thing you can do is uninstall, and appeal to the developers of that package to support your tablet. | 01:34 |
| gnac_ | Cube_: cant so much | 01:34 |
| Hilikus | anyone here mounting things from another samba share automatically on startup? when i try to reboot or shutdown it gets delayed with some error about the CIFS server not responding | 01:34 |
| dragon_ | Cube_: you can create a shortcut in windows, but there are no symlinks | 01:34 |
| Hilikus | dragon_: mmm ok, thanks | 01:34 |
| Cube_ | gnac_: kk. no way of getting that to work? like a package to install? | 01:34 |
| Magichal | dragon_: wow, and there you go, my bookmarks loaded after I tried what you said. Thank you so much. =) | 01:34 |
| Cube_ | dragon_: | 01:34 |
| dragon_ | Magichal: you're welcome :) | 01:34 |
| porter1 | Zetsubou, aka only basic support is available for it right now. | 01:34 |
| gnac_ | Cube_: Although cygwin can create them, but they can only be used like symlinks in cygwin | 01:34 |
| Zetsubou | Aah, I guess. | 01:34 |
| porter1 | Sorry | 01:34 |
| Magichal | Jordan_U: thank you too for helping me as well. see you later everybody. | 01:34 |
| gnac_ | Cube_: to windows they look just like shortcuts | 01:34 |
| Zetsubou | thanks, porter1. | 01:34 |
| manbreadj | my son might have put some stuff on it, but my problem is i cant seem to undo what i've done. when i click on system - administration - main menu, nothing happens. i can't set preferences. | 01:35 |
| porter1 | Zetsubou, you could help the devs of that package by maybe submitting a bug report | 01:35 |
| Cube_ | gnac_: ok. i love using symlinks with dropbox here on ubuntu, and i'd love to be able to do that on windows | 01:35 |

| Jordan_U | gnac_: truecrypt isn't included because of licensing issues. There are .debs available from their site | 01:35 |
| manbreadj | theres no add/remove option anynmore. the synaptic package manager doesn't work. | 01:35 |
| Zetsubou | porter1: I'm gonna try and mess around with it a little more.. If I can't get the tablet to do anything, that's fine since I dual-boot into Windows anyways. I was just hoping I could use GIMP instead of photoshop since it means switching between OSes.. Horray. :x | 01:36 |
| sandy | guys need help my modem is not detected by the os | 01:36 |
| sandy | though it detected only once | 01:36 |
| manbreadj | have i corrupted the registry? is there even a registry or something equvalent to it? | 01:37 |
| gnac_ | Jordan_U: yep, but they're not compiled for lpia so the installer barfs on me. | 01:37 |
| justfil | how can i erase contents of txt file without deleting it | 01:37 |
| Socah | manbreadj, there is not, only config files | 01:37 |
| Socah | justfil, edit it, delete content, save? | 01:37 |
| manbreadj | ok, could i have corrupted them? | 01:37 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: no registry per se ... various config files and databases | 01:37 |
| pronoy | need help with nessus people...how to add admin user ? i am using nessue 3.2.1 | 01:38 |
| justfil | Socah, command line | 01:38 |
| porter1 | Zetsubou, I feel your pain. | 01:38 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: yes ... they were being updated and could not complete when disk is full | 01:38 |
| manbreadj | i ask because when i click on quit, i get no options, it just shuts the computer down | 01:38 |
| gnac_ | likewise cygwin icaclient seems to be a manual effort to install, eg download this, download that ... vs apt-get/emerge/equo install icaclient | 01:38 |
| Zetsubou | porter1: Oh, hey! I got the pen to be detected again. |3 | 01:38 |
| thebuck86 | justfil: you could move another blank file to it by changing the name of the other file | 01:38 |
| Socah | manbreadj, you could delete config files that are responsible for menu, they will be recreated with re-logging | 01:38 |
| Hilikus | justfil: maybe echo "" > file | 01:38 |
| gnac_ | ^er citrix icaclient | 01:38 |
| Zetsubou | Now let's see if I can figure out pen pressure.. :C | 01:38 |
| Socah | justfil, nano /path/to/file, then remove what you need and save with ctrl+o, exit with ctrl+x | 01:38 |

| manbreadj | sorry, not sure what you mean by that last statement | 01:40 |
| Socah | sandy, I suggest you using wicd - it's program similar to networkmanager, if you will not be able to solve your problem, you can try installing wicd | 01:41 |
| timn | sandy, hm, interesting. Which application are you using for dialing? | 01:41 |
| rTk^cool | wtf my sound worked shittily for 5 seconds then shut back off | 01:41 |
| timn | yep but does it also support modem? | 01:41 |
| Socah | he talks about modem? then I don't know | 01:41 |
| pronoy | wow nobody's used nessus ?!?! | 01:41 |

| barqers | Socah: I've tried that, but nothing seems to work for my situation | 01:42 |
| sandy | where to get that wicd | 01:42 |
| Socah | sandy, wait, what's ur modem? | 01:42 |
| manbreadj | how can i access the config files? | 01:42 |

| Zetsubou | AUGH, OH SNAP. I got pen pressure working! <3 I am happyfayse now, I should've messed around with more things before asking for help. Ahaha. Thanks though, porter1. | 01:43 |
| timn | sandy, I guess something just conflicrts with your modem. Probably GNOME's network manager which is started upon login. | 01:43 |
| sandy | connected through lancard(intex) | 01:43 |
| tanath | i'm having serious issues with ubuntu right now. the latest kernel does a kernel panic on boot, and the previous one has graphical glitches that make it difficult & annoying to read | 01:43 |
| pronoy | Dr_Willis understanding a network requires knowledge of how it works...enter nessus | 01:43 |
| manbreadj | ok | 01:43 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: you can always reinstall ... that might help ... then this time don't add any new packages but check the space usage ... then update only and check usage again | 01:43 |
| sandy | any soln to it? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | pronoy: nah - networks are all about the fat pipes! :P | 01:44 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: backup your data to the SD card or a USB memory stick | 01:44 |
| timn | sandy, ah, probably the network manager tries to assign an IP over DHCP which of course fails. | 01:44 |
| pronoy | Dr_Willis ok but question still stands | 01:44 |
| pronoy | anyone can help me with NESSUS ? | 01:44 |
| Socah | sancas, you must copy output of lspci -v to the ubuntu's paste (check TOPIC of channel) and give us link | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Perhaps ask a more specific question pronoy. | 01:45 |
| porter1 | Zetsubou, no problem. | 01:45 |

| manbreadj | umm, i think i'm getting in over my head...some of its not english. | 01:46 |
| sandy | then how to stop the network manager to assign ip over dcph | 01:46 |
| Socah | manbreadj, sec | 01:46 |
| manbreadj | ok | 01:47 |
| timn | sandy, sorry, I don't use Ubuntu and GNOME but IMHO it is possible to disable the network manager completely ... somehow | 01:47 |
| Socah | manbreadj, try to sudo apt-get reinstall gnome-menu | 01:47 |
| sandy | hmm | 01:47 |
| manbreadj | ok | 01:47 |

| arktsone | Socah: i did, i tried the instructions, but i was getting a problem installing directx | 01:50 |
| sandy | how to set it up as static | 01:50 |
| manbreadj | no not worried about that at all | 01:50 |
| timn | sandy, probably this might be interesting for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Disabling%20NetworkManager | 01:50 |
| manbreadj | how do i do that | 01:50 |
| sandy | i never say any such option there | 01:50 |
| manbreadj | ? | 01:50 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: you probably need to re-install from scratch ... that should work, even if you don't really need to ... but manually fixing as it is now probably is "in over your head" | 01:50 |
| Socah | arktsone, you could try this: http://www.fsckin.com/2008/02/21/how-to-run-call-of-duty-4-cod4-modern-combat-in-linux/ | 01:50 |
| sandy | is there any tutorial for that? | 01:51 |
| manbreadj | okn i have to do that from the disk, right? | 01:51 |
| Socah | manbreadj, open terminal, and type rm -r ~/.gnome* | 01:51 |
| arktsone | brb | 01:51 |
| manbreadj | ok | 01:51 |
| * Black_Phantom out, good night all | 01:52 | |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: you might need to install less stuff | 01:52 |
| Jordan_U | sandy: Choose The interface you want to configure, click add, then in the ip settings tab choose "manual" as the method instead of DHCP | 01:52 |
| Skaperen | manbreadj: I did an install then an upgrade, without adding other packages, and the size I got was much less than the size of your space | 01:52 |
| laeg | can anyone tell me the difference between allowing a port and limiting it? | 01:53 |
| timn | sandy, if you don't need the network manager at all, the easiest would be to completely remove it. But then you won't be able to use a GUI to configure ethernet. | 01:53 |
| laeg | i can set allow/limit/deny/block | 01:53 |
| laeg | which no explanation to the first 2 and second 2 :( | 01:53 |
| manbreadj | so how can i remove something i've installed? | 01:53 |
| Socah | manbreadj, sudo apt-get remove package-name | 01:54 |
| bruenig | manbreadj: apt-get remove | 01:54 |
| Skaperen | allow allows all, limit restrists some connections like certain IP addresses, deny causes connections to be refused, block just does nothing not even a refusal | 01:54 |
| Kalmi | laeg, block silently discards... | 01:54 |
| arktsone | Socah: i was thinking about that one, but he uses an old version of WINE, and i don't know if it will have issues, since I've read you can get errors on different versions | 01:55 |
| dryfyre | what is the difference between uuntu and red hat | 01:56 |
| Socah | arktsone, most simple way - go to winehq, check for your version's rating, check comments for this version (people often write what they problem had, and how they solved it), I think nobody can help you there with wine. You can always joint #winehq channel | 01:56 |

| Socah | IsmAvatar, propably you need to go to your router configuration site, log-in to the admin-panel and check logs, as thebuck86 says | 02:05 |
| timn | _Space_Case_, that's what it says at least on the official Hauppauge site (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/linux.html) | 02:05 |
| IsmAvatar | thebuck86 and socah: I am connected by cat5 into the router, and have logged into that panel. I wasn't able to find anything that did what I wanted. Either it only lists hardwired computers or my wireless network is surprisingly vacant | 02:06 |
| coz_ | juanbond, alot is going to depend on the specifications for your motherboard | 02:06 |

| wfiuewfew | Socah: what? | 02:10 |
| timn | tayfun_, but not all of the applications are in the Ubuntu/Debian repositories | 02:10 |
| johnibanez1 | Whats a good working environment for Web Design? (spec. ubuntu) | 02:10 |
| IsmAvatar | Gedit | 02:10 |
| Socah | wfiuewfew, it's normal | 02:10 |
| IsmAvatar | :-p | 02:10 |
| johnibanez1 | hahaha | 02:10 |
| wfiuewfew | Socah: Can you explain why | 02:10 |
| thebuck86 | wfiuewfew: that's a math thing gigabyte vs. gibibyte... totally cool | 02:11 |
| Socah | wfiuewfew, I don't know why, but it is - mine 4 gb ram is seen as 3,7gb - I will check why it is | 02:11 |
| karamella | pls any one can help me | 02:11 |
| Socah | ye, thebuck86 is right | 02:11 |
| alexnet | hi i am a linux newbie, and I have a php application that creates some files which isnt working... can someone work me through figuring out what user the application runs under and what permissions it has? | 02:11 |
| thebuck86 | !gibibit | 02:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gibibit | 02:11 |
| johnibanez1 | Socah, maybe it's shared with your onboard graphics card. | 02:11 |
| wfiuewfew | thebuck86: So which is ubuntu system monitor reporting | 02:11 |
| tayfun_ | timn thanks i m gonna read and i wont install all the applications i m just new here and interesting of new softwares so maybe i can find something useful i m actually using xp but i m trygin to using linux ubuntu i gotta tell you i love it its really nice | 02:11 |
| Socah | johnibanez1, it's possible, I'm using integrated card with shared memory | 02:12 |
| Socah | still new thing to learn ;) | 02:12 |
| johnibanez1 | Socah, that might be your case there. | 02:12 |
| thebuck86 | wfiuewfew: gibibyte --- wolframalpha.com - gibibyte | 02:13 |
| karamella | how e-mail evoultion work i cant set up my account | 02:13 |
| timn | johnibanez1, a good editor (e.g. VIM), a web browser that passes ACID3 and has good debugging tools (hint: Arora looks promising but Firefox with the Web Developer extension isn't bad either) | 02:13 |
| rTk^ | aweomse | 02:13 |
| Socah | karamella, where you got ur account? | 02:13 |
| Socah | on what site | 02:13 |
| wfiuewfew | thebuck86: which does ubuntu report? | 02:14 |
| thebuck86 | wfiuewfew: gibibyte | 02:14 |
| wfiuewfew | thebuck86: And a mac reports gigabyte? | 02:14 |
| thebuck86 | wfiuewfew: exactly | 02:14 |
| wfiuewfew | thebuck86: Oh thanks. That's interesting I am wondering why they chose that convention | 02:15 |
| thebuck86 | wfiuewfew: mathematicians were involved in the creation of ubuntu -- thats why | 02:16 |
| johnibanez1 | Thanks timn | 02:16 |
| alexnet | Hello, how do I 1) figure out my apache user, 2) grant my apache user the ability to write files into a certian folder? | 02:17 |
| timn | np | 02:17 |
| timn | johnibanez1, if you're an opponent of WYSIWYG, Kompozer might be useful for you | 02:17 |
| thebuck86 | alexnet: apache user is www-data ... sudo chown www-data:www-data directory | 02:18 |
| johnibanez1 | timn, nah WYSISWYG is bad. | 02:18 |
| alexnet | thankyou thebuck86 | 02:18 |
| johnibanez1 | in a good way though. :)) | 02:18 |
| fade__ | Anyone familiar with TFTP and PXE? | 02:18 |
| alexnet | thebuck86 would those permissions be applied to all of the directories and files contained therein by using that command? | 02:19 |
| timn | johnibanez1, I agree but everybody who's ever used Frontpage (ugh) would miss such an application under Linux so it's good that we have an (even better) equivalent | 02:19 |
| prince_jammys | alexnet: the -R option to chown makes it recursive. | 02:19 |
| alexnet | thank you prince_jammys | 02:20 |
| wfiuewfew | thebuck86: many thanks | 02:20 |
| thebuck86 | alexnet: if you add -R to the end of it that will go recursively into all files/folders within a folder | 02:20 |
| thebuck86 | wfiuewfew: no problem - just a guy sitting at starbucks | 02:20 |
| alexnet | okay, one more question... by granting permission to www-data am i *taking away* permissions from anyone else? | 02:20 |
| rTk^ | what kind of nvidia drivers should i download | 02:20 |
| thebuck86 | alexnet: probably .... what files are you changing? | 02:21 |
| ReallyLaCorde | Hallo Guys | 02:21 |
| prince_jammys | alexnet: yes, unless the previous owner was root. | 02:21 |
| rTk^ | do i just download the windows xp drivers now: | 02:21 |
| ReallyLaCorde | who have my name | 02:21 |
| alexnet | prince_jammys, thebuck86, the previous owner was root.. its just some php app i made that writes a log into some folder, which it doesnt appear to be atm (i just applied the permissions i'll be trying it again in a moment) | 02:22 |
| thebuck86 | !nvidia | rTk^ | 02:22 |

| pronoy | bazhang thanks...worked like a charm | 02:23 |
| prince_jammys | hello. | 02:23 |
| Oceanic | hello | 02:23 |
| alexnet | what command shows the permissions? | 02:23 |
| prince_jammys | ls -l | 02:23 |
| bazhang | Pronoy you're welcome | 02:23 |
| alexnet | thanks | 02:24 |
| bazhang | oops | 02:24 |
| alexnet | and www-data needs permissions to a folder if a php webpage intends to write to that folder, right? | 02:24 |
| rTk^ | wow that was easy | 02:24 |
| rTk^ | LOL | 02:24 |
| thebuck86 | alexnet: yes | 02:24 |
| manbreadj | somebody was just helping me and i got disconnected. any body recognize my nick? | 02:24 |
| manbreadj | was it scolo? | 02:25 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: someone was apparently telling you to delete all .gnome* directories in your homedir | 02:25 |
| thebuck86 | manhbreadj: scoch ... and they left | 02:26 |
| prince_jammys | "Socah" was the nick. | 02:26 |
| thebuck86 | prince_jammys: you are right | 02:26 |
| manbreadj | yea that was it!my luck they left.... | 02:26 |
| Lionyx | Does anybody here already installed the .7 version of Texas Poker? The packet on the repository is not updated to the new version of it. | 02:26 |

| manbreadj | now my dell won't even boot | 02:27 |
| thebuck86 | manbreadj: details please | 02:27 |
| prince_jammys | you can't boot into ubuntu? | 02:27 |
| manbreadj | i was downloading updates, ran out of space and everything went to hell | 02:27 |
| manbreadj | no, i get the login screen but the it says to boot if a failsafe mode | 02:28 |
| prince_jammys | elaborate on the "everything went to hell" part. | 02:28 |
| thebuck86 | manbreadj: i'd start over ... with a bigger harddrive | 02:28 |

| greensimian | Hey gang! | 02:28 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: so you can't start a gnome session? | 02:28 |
| manbreadj | im trying but i seem to have fallen inot a vortex i can't get out of | 02:28 |
| manbreadj | nope | 02:28 |
| prince_jammys | any error messages? | 02:29 |
| greensimian | I am looking to replace my MS Zune with something less shitty. Anyone know of a handhel media player that sync with Unbuntu? | 02:29 |
| manbreadj | it says my session lasted less than ten seconds try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions | 02:29 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: log in that way | 02:30 |
| gnac_ | whats a gnome amarok equivalent? | 02:30 |
| timn | manbreadj, have you already tried it with a vanilla xorg.conf? As root: Xorg -configure | 02:30 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: and in the terminal: ls -l .ICEauthority | 02:30 |
| manbreadj | it wont let me. when i enter the usename and password i get the try failsafe session message | 02:31 |
| manbreadj | timn, i don't know what you mean | 02:31 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: do you know how to switch to console? | 02:31 |
| timn | manbreadj, go to Ctrl-Alt-F2 | 02:31 |
| manbreadj | ok im there | 02:31 |
| rTk^ | i hate how installing something simple like aim isn't easy to install | 02:31 |
| manbreadj | cntr-alt-fn2, i mean | 02:31 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: log in there. | 02:32 |
| rTk^ | unless i just havn't tried yet | 02:32 |
| timn | manbreadj, I think Xorg crashes just upon start that's why you get that failsafe session message. | 02:32 |

| manbreadj | it said "-bash : -ls command not found" | 02:35 |
| switch10_ | Pidgin | 02:35 |

| manbreadj | yes username is lucas | 02:35 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: ls -l .ICEauthority | 02:35 |
| Sergeant_Pony | ladislaio, I'm running ubuntu and viats on my laptop and haven't run into that problem | 02:35 |
| r696 | Hi, why is Firefox crashing all the time when playing Flash. Actually, it's not even able to play Flash most of the time. Should I ask in #firefox or does anyone know about this? I am guessing it's got to some sort of bug in Firefox. I really need Flash to play while developing websites. | 02:35 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: output should look like something this: -rw------- 1 lucas lucas 25969 Jul 13 20:54 .ICEauthority | 02:35 |
| homovitruvius | what is the right place for adding (per user) applications that need to start whenever a gnome session starts? I want to preserve all behaviour of scripts in Xdefault.d. Thx | 02:36 |
| zetanuxi | does anyone know if FL Studio will run in Jaunty? perhaps through wine? | 02:36 |
| Kalmi | r696, 32/64 bit OS? 32/64 bit flash? | 02:36 |
| manbreadj | yes i got that | 02:36 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: output is like what i showed? | 02:36 |
| manbreadj | yes, different numbers but otherwise the same | 02:37 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: ok. so we can eliminate that problem. | 02:37 |
| ladislaio | Sergeant_Pony, thank you. A year ago vista had issues with the boot manager crapping out on you sometimes after an install | 02:37 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | is there a nice music downloader on ubuntu 9.04? | 02:37 |
| Sergeant_Pony | ladislaio, no problems here, I started with ubuntu 8.04 and upgraded til I got to 9.04 and had no problems at all with the vista partitions. | 02:37 |

| thebuck86 | lionyx: probably not -- they are proprietary | 02:38 |
| switch10_ | Um_cara_qualquer: frostwire | 02:38 |

| prince_jammys | manbreadj: please look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=23467 | 02:38 |
| manbreadj | ok | 02:38 |
| switch10_ | Just like limewire | 02:38 |
| tanath | i'm having serious issues with ubuntu right now. the latest kernel does a kernel panic on boot, and the previous one has graphical glitches that make it difficult & annoying to read | 02:38 |
| ladislaio | tanath, what is your graphics card? | 02:39 |
| Lionyx | thebuck86, infact i do not need the full diagram, only the parts list so i might replace a couple of condensers ;) | 02:39 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: bah, scrap that. that only covers the ICEauthority problem, which you don't seem to have. | 02:39 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | switch10_: thx | 02:39 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | zetanuxi: single songs... albuns... any kind of music | 02:39 |
| === Tetracomm is now known as fuzzypotato | ||
| timn | Um_cara_qualquer, you can use any torrent client to download music | 02:40 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: google ubuntu "your session lasted less than 10 seconds" in the meantime. It appears plenty in the forums. | 02:40 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | where can i find the torrents? | 02:40 |
| thebuck86 | Lionyx: Same difference .. unless you are an E.E. and identify the condensers, you are probably sol | 02:40 |
| timn | Um_cara_qualquer, Piratebay | 02:40 |
| ladislaio | Um_cara_qualquer, or, you know, you could go to a store and buy it... | 02:40 |
| switch10_ | Um_cara_qualquer: google | 02:40 |
| tanath | ladislaio, ati radeon 9800se | 02:40 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | hmm | 02:40 |

| Um_cara_qualquer | got it xD | 02:41 |
| zetanuxi | um_cara_qualquer: okay, for bulk, a bittorrent client. for individual songs, perhaps KCEasy, using the compiled code. | 02:41 |
| switch10_ | That's all I'm saying | 02:41 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | uhum... | 02:41 |

| Um_cara_qualquer | hehe | 02:41 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | not for me | 02:41 |
| timn | Um_cara_qualquer, There is a download client by Amazon. This enables you to download music completely legally. | 02:41 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | hmm | 02:42 |
| ladislaio | mac9416_, install and run alsamixer in the terminal(unless ubuntu no longer uses alsa) | 02:42 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | legaly... what's the fun on that | 02:42 |
| thebuck86 | Lionyx: you might be able to get hi-res pictures of the card, perhaps? | 02:42 |
| zetanuxi | um_cara_qualquer: use uTorrent. | 02:42 |
| switch10_ | Um_cara_qualquer: not getting busted. Check out moblock... | 02:42 |

| Lionyx | thebuck86, this would probably work, i'll try to catch some of this on google | 02:43 |
| zetanuxi | um_cara_qualquer: get torrent files from www.torrentz.com tis a torrent search engine. | 02:43 |
| cweilema | Hey all - I have a directory of 200 files and I want to create archives (zip files) of those files in sets of 20. Can anyone assist with a script that would accomplish this? | 02:43 |

| manbreadj | yea | 02:44 |
| mac9416_ | ladislaio, thanks, alsamixer worked, and managed to wake me up when the sound suddenly came on ;-) | 02:44 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: the last link i posted seems more similar to your problem. | 02:44 |
| switch10_ | I don't like transmission personally | 02:45 |
| zetanuxi | um_cara_qualquer: okay, they do not. i'll have to recall how i got uTorrent to work stand-alone in Jaunty. | 02:45 |
| tanath | ladislaio, things were fine, but recent updates have been problematic | 02:45 |
| manbreadj | these forums are going beyond my knowlege (which is not very far!)yea it seems like its getting warmer | 02:45 |
| manbreadj | i think the problem might be some stuff my son put on the computer, but i cant seem to remove anything | 02:45 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: all they are suggesting to do is to delete some extra files to make space | 02:45 |
| ladislaio | mac9416_, you are welcome | 02:45 |
| manbreadj | ok | 02:46 |

| manbreadj | i feel like i need to unlearn anything i know about dos or windows...easier said than done. one might say my mind has been corrupted.... | 02:47 |
| thebuck86 | lounatic: blacklist.conf is usually blank | 02:47 |
| ladislaio | tanath, you could try the closed source drivers with the older kernel, but I find them to be a huge pain | 02:47 |
| tanath | ladislaio, i'm using an ati radeon 9800se... if i could afford a new card, don't you think i'd get one? :P | 02:47 |
| zetanuxi | um_cara_qualquer: transmission is okay. there are better. | 02:47 |
| lounatic | ah, great, thanks thebuck86! | 02:48 |

| c0l2e | ladislaio: how will I know that my ubuntu machine has the XDMCP service active?? | 02:57 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, try converting some of them into thin clients first | 02:58 |
| manbreadj | inexplicably | 02:58 |
| prince_jammys | great | 02:58 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: I tried it before but on opensuse and it works | 02:59 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, you have to set it up, open ports and all that junk. | 02:59 |
| switch10_ | By all | 02:59 |
| switch10_ | Bye | 02:59 |
| manbreadj | but my menus are missing options, some don't work, quit doesn't shut down properly | 02:59 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: hmm ok thanks.. have you forwarded any link to dirty fix it? | 02:59 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, likewise, i have done nothing like that in ubuntu. arch is my system | 02:59 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, i shall see. one moment | 02:59 |
| rodolfo | Hello everyone | 02:59 |
| manbreadj | and now its locked up | 03:00 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: did you try: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 03:00 |
| prince_jammys | manbreadj: earlier you were talking about an error message that suggested that command. Did you run it? | 03:00 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: some said you have to be in kubuntu or KDEs for XDMCP | 03:00 |
| manbreadj | yea thats what the other guy had me doing. it wasn't working | 03:00 |
| manbreadj | is there a task manager type thing to access when it locks up? | 03:01 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, nope | 03:02 |
| arch3angel | hello everyone - hope everyone is doing well | 03:02 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, you do not even need a DE, but the login mananagers make it much easier | 03:02 |
| revfeuerfrei | evening folks | 03:02 |
| arch3angel | anyone know why ubuntu would stop mounting a partition when I click on it through gnome places | 03:02 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/RemoteAccess | 03:03 |
| arch3angel | gives me this error | 03:03 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: thanks | 03:03 |
| arch3angel | Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'HOME'. | 03:03 |
| manbreadj | won't do anything no, no ctr-alt fns | 03:03 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, make sure your network is secure or you use ssh to encrypt the path | 03:04 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, good luck. hope the network is fast enough for you | 03:04 |
| arch3angel | anyone | 03:04 |
| revfeuerfrei | I come because I've given this my all, and the forums aren't able to guide me this time. I have a Linksys wusb54gc. And I cannot get the damn thing to go. I downloaded the drivers from linksys, I've used ndiswrapper to install the driver, but I don't think it went in correctly. Brand new install of Kubunt 9.0.4 | 03:04 |
| manbreadj | now it really is an overpriced paperweight | 03:05 |
| arch3angel | anyone have the mounting answer to my issue | 03:05 |
| wolf23 | help please! i have a .avi movie film , i put it on a dvd player the film begin but the audio sound is after the images, can anyone tell me how to make the audio and the image at the same time please | 03:05 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: yes.. we usually use web browser and openoffice.. that's all... hahahah | 03:05 |
| ladislaio | arch3angel, you have mounting problems, when mounting a partion that is not mounted durring boot? | 03:06 |
| arch3angel | Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'HOME'. | 03:06 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, sounds like a good place to use thin clients | 03:06 |
| arch3angel | when i click on places in gnome | 03:06 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: most of our intranet system are web-based... so no need to open numerous applications | 03:06 |
| arch3angel | and then the partition | 03:06 |
| Edu | olá alguem fala portugues? | 03:06 |
| arch3angel | it gives me this error | 03:06 |
| arch3angel | i am thinking i screwed it up when i was trying to view the properties | 03:06 |
| arch3angel | but not sure how to fix it | 03:07 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: thanks.. previously I've done this using opensuse.. but the system upgrades of the host system is a big hassle not like debian-based.. very easy | 03:07 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, have you tried the split user boxes? | 03:07 |
| n2diy | ! portugues | 03:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about portugues | 03:07 |
| arch3angel | i just want it back the way it was | 03:07 |
| manbreadj | i'm so sick of this shit. I have 8 or 9 computers in my garage that all work or at least used to. i get these system f-ups and they may as well be worthless to me. it pisses me off 'cause i know most of you guys could probably fix them quite easily, but to me they may as well be smashed.... | 03:07 |
| arch3angel | have it mounted when i need it | 03:07 |
| c0l2e | and we use old machine as clients.. but most of old machines are not dead | 03:07 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, i like apt. it is nice. | 03:08 |
| kyle5 | Excuse me, but I need networking help. I'm using 'network-admin' to change my external ip. My router uses WPA security and the only options are WEP(hexadecimal) and WEP(ascii). What should i do? | 03:08 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: me too just recently | 03:08 |

| ladislaio | c0l2e, if you are distro shopping, i suggest taking a look at arch, but it may be to bleeding edge for an office | 03:11 |
| jmigel | kyle5 when you say externsl ip do you mean the routers address on the internet? | 03:11 |
| manbreadj | unfortunately i can't get many parts out of this mini | 03:11 |

| Ushaib | hi | 03:14 |
| manbreadj | wait, its on the battery, can't pull the plug. what now? | 03:14 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, arch takes about 2-3 days to get the new stuff out there | 03:14 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, and is rolling release | 03:14 |
| Ushaib | How can I add a right-click command to Nautilus, so that whenever files/folders are right-clicked, I can select "Copy to /home/user/specialfolder", and they get copied there. | 03:14 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, the problem(s) come when you do not want the upgrade | 03:15 |
| bcurtiswx | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc8/ how do I add that PPA to my software sources? | 03:15 |
| oldude67 | manbreadJ: holding power button till it goes off dont work? | 03:15 |

| manbreadj | yea that did it' | 03:15 |
| sseiersen | How do you tell apt to install all packages under a group? | 03:15 |
| wilsonnck | Ushaib: you're looking for nautilus scripts | 03:15 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: yeah arch is a Redhat code modification right?? | 03:15 |
| c0l2e | much like centos? | 03:15 |
| sseiersen | Like in synaptic under GNOME desktop environment | 03:16 |
| dryfyre | pullthe battery | 03:16 |
| Samich | Hello, I am seeking help with BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects while trying to load up the live disc to install, havnt been able to find much on google. | 03:16 |

| ladislaio | c0l2e, no. not at all | 03:16 |
| n2diy | sseiersen: edit-select all? | 03:16 |
| Samich | Where might I be able to find it in there? | 03:16 |
| Samich | I took a look earlier, but didnt have any luck. | 03:17 |
| sseiersen | Im tryin to do it in konsole | 03:17 |
| manbreadj | how can i remove files to make more room? | 03:17 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, it is a from the ground up one. not a fork of anything | 03:17 |
| jmigel | Samich id suggest looking for the word ACPI | 03:17 |
| wilsonnck | sseiersen: you should be able to select the group itself like it was a package | 03:17 |
| fccf | Samich: & jmigel thats noacpi at boot prompt of live cd .. or grub bootline | 03:17 |
| Ahadiel | c0l2e, Arch is not based on redhat. | 03:17 |
| axisys | how do I make a non linux OS installer usb? unetbootin does not have a solaris OS in the menu | 03:17 |
| wilsonnck | sseiersen: That'll pull in all of it's "dependencies" | 03:17 |

| === cwek_imoetzzz is now known as cew_maniez | ||
| fccf | Samich: reboot | 03:18 |
| jmigel | Samich listen to fccf | 03:18 |
| manbreadj | i was trying that before it locked up | 03:18 |
| Samich | Alright | 03:18 |
| wilsonnck | c0l2e: I'm on arch at the moment, and while it's bleeding-edge it's quite stable | 03:18 |
| manbreadj | whats the command format? | 03:19 |
| Samich | Load into the bios, or the ubuntu screen? | 03:19 |
| Ahadiel | wilsonnck, Same here. | 03:19 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, arch is a jump from ubuntu and suse, but it is faster and more up to date. if you do not enjoy mananging a system you most likely would not like it | 03:19 |
| fccf | Samich: at ubuntu screen press F6 and add noacpi to the end of the line at the bottom of the screen above the menu | 03:19 |
| billisnice | I once found a link to fix youtube not playing in firefox. Can someone direct me to the link? | 03:19 |

| ladislaio | c0l2e, it uses pacman | 03:20 |
| oldude67 | manbreadj, there is a manual way to remove files with rm / please read the man pages first tho. | 03:20 |
| Samich | fccf: Ok, on my way to do that | 03:20 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, works somewhat like apt | 03:20 |

| bcurtiswx | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc8/ how do I add that PPA to my software sources? | 03:21 |
| ladislaio | c0l2e, it has it's own package system, but it has a repro system like ubuntu | 03:21 |
| tayfun | what about virtual box? | 03:21 |
| newb2linux | join #xbmc-linux | 03:21 |
| c0l2e | ladislaio: hmm.. thanks | 03:22 |
| lstarnes | newb2linux: you're forgetting the / at the start | 03:22 |
| newb2linux | lk | 03:22 |
| wilsonnck | sseiersen: if you are trying to install gnome from kubuntu or another mod, try ubuntu-desktop | 03:22 |
| Jordan_U | tayfun: So both can use what at the same time? | 03:22 |
| newb2linux | thansk . | 03:22 |
| lstarnes | tayfun: I think you can run xp in virtualbox | 03:22 |
| tayfun | so tell me how | 03:22 |

| ladislaio | c0l2e, it is all there in the wiki | 03:22 |
| oldude67 | manbreadj, did you read the comment i made about the rm / which i think you should read some of the man pages first cause you can make grave mistakes with it. | 03:23 |
| dryfyre | any one test out the 9.10 | 03:23 |
| Void | toy alegre.. pero no se si estoy triste :S | 03:23 |
| Samich | fccf: It didn't load, or throw up any errors. Just added an X on the left of it. | 03:23 |
| bazhang | dryfyre, in #ubuntu+1 | 03:23 |
| lstarnes | dryfyre: #ubuntu+1 is speficially for ubuntu 9.10 | 03:23 |
| yiyezhou | tayfun: download virtualbox from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 03:23 |
| manbreadj | yea that what i fear, where might i find those docs? | 03:23 |
| yiyezhou | . | 03:23 |
| lstarnes | tayfun: you could use that version or the official version from virtualbox.org | 03:23 |
| ascheel | yiyezhou: or: sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 03:24 |
| tayfun | ok let me try | 03:24 |
| sseiersen | LMFAO | 03:24 |
| oldude67 | manbreadj, man rm | 03:24 |
| oldude67 | should show you | 03:24 |
| sseiersen | GNOME is 4 pages of packages | 03:24 |
| fccf | Samich: what iso are you using? | 03:24 |
| sandy_ | hey guys | 03:24 |
| lstarnes | tayfun: the official one isn't free (as iin freedom)/open-source like the ose version in ubuntu, but it is free (as in price) to use | 03:24 |
| manbreadj | im sorry, i don't know what you mean by man rm | 03:25 |
| sandy_ | i was having prob with my network | 03:25 |
| tayfun | i m downloading now this for linux i386 | 03:25 |
| Ahadiel | manbreadj, type "man rm" into a terminal | 03:25 |
| sandy_ | my modem was not detecting | 03:25 |
| manbreadj | ok | 03:25 |
| oldude67 | manbreadj, open terminal and type in man rm | 03:25 |
| tayfun | but i386 is a ntfs file from xp isnt it? | 03:25 |
| sandy_ | so i reinstalled ubuntu | 03:25 |
| TwoToneSpirit | ascheel, tayfun: Is Vbox 3.0 in the repos? | 03:25 |
| Samich | fccf: I just downloaded it from the site, the 32-bit. Not exactly which it is or isnt. | 03:25 |
| manbreadj | ahhh i see, | 03:25 |
| tayfun | yeah | 03:25 |

| snarkster | so there is no library that will allow me to run 32 i386 apps on my amd64bit platform? | 05:53 |
| jakerue | Dr.Willis I can get to SWAT, it's SWAT that tells me smbd and nmbd are not running. I'll have a go at the link you gave and be back | 05:53 |
| twig11 | gogeta: I understand that. Is it going to want to kick network-manager off my system? | 05:53 |
| Gnimsh | hey ubuntu | 05:53 |
| losher | jakerue: understood. Once installed, and /etc/samba/smb.conf is configure (correctly!) then sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart will start the daemons. No need to involve (x)inetd | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: could be swat is confused. | 05:53 |
| losher | !swat | 05:54 |

| jasonmchristos | Adam7 i install all kinds of things | 05:57 |
| jasonmchristos | adam7: who only uses the default programs | 05:57 |

| jasonmchristos | why does ean complain about ubuntu saying that it is not free software | 05:58 |
| jasonmchristos | adam7: yes why | 05:58 |
| adam7 | jasonmchristos: does it use NAT? | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: it says they are running here. You did 'sudo apt-get install samba' yes? | 05:58 |
| novato | hoooo my god | 05:59 |
| adam7 | jasonmchristos: if so, it is *very* unlikely that anyone is connected to your computer | 05:59 |
| jasonmchristos | adam7: yes, but i dont like nat | 05:59 |
| novato | ubuntu is terreble | 05:59 |
| adam7 | jasonmchristos: so you enabled dmz to your computer? | 05:59 |
| jasonmchristos | adam7: i think there are trojans in the ubuntu community maintained software | 05:59 |
| jakerue | Dr.Willis I already have Samba running....I can get to localhost:991 | 05:59 |
| Gnimsh | jasonmchristos, I think that's ridiculous. | 06:00 |
| mobi-sheep | jasonmchristos: I think you're being silly right now. | 06:00 |
| jasonmchristos | adam7: i have used dmz but like i said i took the whole thing offline i was bieng watched | 06:00 |
| bastidrazor | troll | 06:00 |
| adam7 | bastidrazor: yep | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: well i get there.. but i logged in as my user.. i cant change any configs,, other then my password. | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: cant fiture out how to log out so i can login as root. :0 | 06:01 |
| jasonmchristos | i say i think its a trojan because i searched the thing in ubuntu forums | 06:01 |
| jasonmchristos | and someone else had the same unexplained connection | 06:01 |
| jakerue | Dr.Willis you get where? to the SWAT page? | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: yes. its working | 06:01 |
| jakerue | right and under status what does it say? | 06:01 |
| jasonmchristos | is firestarter a good firewall or not? | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: says they are all running. | 06:02 |
| jakerue | you have to chmod smb.conf to get rights to config | 06:02 |
| mobi-sheep | jasonmchristos: Can you post the link? I caught the end of the discussion. | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | jasonmchristos: its iptables frontend/gui - its a decent tool. | 06:02 |
| jakerue | Dr_Willis....under mine it says version:3.3.2smbd:not running nmbd:not running winbindd:running | 06:03 |
| adam7 | mobi-sheep/ Dr_Willis: troll warning | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: i did do a 'no no ' and just now enabled the root password - so i could actually do some config stuff with swat. thats proberly why its not instlled by default | 06:03 |
| jasonmchristos | mobi-sheep: i will try and look for it again i took the whole system down all i can remember was that it was some washington dc connection | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: all i did was install samba , then followed that guide . swat is the only thing getting strted by xinted | 06:03 |
| gogeta | twig11: tested it on my own card | 06:04 |
| ibrar | I am using wvdial to connect to internet but failed to and getting garbage data ? | 06:04 |
| twig11 | gogeta: great! | 06:04 |
| jakerue | Dr_willis hmmmmm....well dunno....I have been having problems with sharing printers and browsing workgroups so I am looking deep into samba to get it working..... | 06:04 |
| angel_ | I have a server + multiple clients , a router , switch , and multiple access points which share the internet , I wanna install ubuntu and windows operating systems over clients, but I want every client to load the session via the server, what you suggest me? | 06:05 |
| asxsax_ | is there any way to start the "terminator (multi terminal)" with two terminals? | 06:05 |
| Bookman | Is there an open source program that schedules physical resources? Like machinery in a production line? | 06:05 |
| jasonmchristos | mobi-sheep: i think it was trusted.lostinthe but i know it had lostinthe in the address | 06:05 |
| twig11 | gogeta: can you send it on over? | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: you mean 'nautilus' browsing samba shares/workgroups? or havingissues mountingthem | 06:05 |
| mobi-sheep | jasonmchristos: How do you determine that it was something in Washington DC? It could be the mirror you're connecting to for package update/upgrade. | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: ive had big issues with the gnome file manager 'browsing' smb servers.. i often have to just enter the full path to the server/share the first thme.. then it starts workiong | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: but i can mount the shares just fine. | 06:06 |
| jasonmchristos | mobi-sheep: there was more than one i just remember that one was from wash dc | 06:06 |
| jasonmchristos | mobi-sheep: so do you think firestarter will fix the problem? | 06:07 |
| iceblock | pizza!!! | 06:07 |
| jakerue | Dr_Willis - nautilus, I can't see any of the XP machine in my network or share printers....trying to see if it was Samba | 06:07 |
| evaro | how do i join a new channel? | 06:07 |

| * lasehopesinyouu slaps mobi-sheep around a bit with a large trout | 06:08 | |
| pup | lasehopesinyouu: have u used pidgin? | 06:08 |
| lasehopesinyouu | for aim | 06:08 |

| Dr_Willis | jakerue: well good luck.its bed time for me, | 06:08 |
| jakerue | Dr_Willis also curious if Samba can be in more than one workgroup...haven't found anything definitive on that | 06:08 |
| mobi-sheep | jasonmchristos: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor | 06:08 |
| Gnimsh | lasehopesinyouu, install wine | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | jakerue: thats somthingive never done.. try reading the books in the 'samba-doc' package perhaps. | 06:08 |

| lasehopesinyouu | lol | 06:08 |
| Gnimsh | then install your games | 06:08 |

| pup | Gnimsh: i haven't been able to use googletalk with wine | 06:09 |
| Gnimsh | also try virtualbox 3 | 06:09 |
| Gnimsh | i don't use gtalk but in pidgin | 06:09 |
| jasonmchristos | mobi-sheep: how was i referring to this? | 06:09 |
| Gnimsh | pidgin oughta be enough for anyone! :p | 06:09 |
| pup | Gnimsh: i agree! | 06:10 |
| bullgard4 | What is a 'Xapian index'? As in Synaptic: "update-apt-xapian-index" | 06:10 |
| e-frame | talkin about pidgin, guifications fails here when adding new themes | 06:10 |
| e-frame | new added themes not seen in theme list | 06:10 |
| Pubu | anyone good with cams on ubunutu? | 06:10 |
| Gnimsh | i don't use pidgin themes | 06:10 |
| pup | the original pidgin is pretty as is | 06:11 |
| e-frame | Gnimsh: not pidgin themes, but pidgin guification themes | 06:11 |
| bullgard4 | Pubu: Please put in this channel a more specific question. | 06:11 |
| losher | bullgard4: http://www.enricozini.org/sw/apt-xapian-index/ No idea what it means though | 06:11 |
| mobi-sheep | jasonmchristos: For example, you're claiming that somebody in Washington DC is hacking your computer without evidence. You can't supply us with any information. You have no hard evidence but you're acting on your paranoid unconditionally. When in reality, it could be simple as mirror or the same website you frequent often. | 06:11 |
| Pubu | ok, what is the first thing i need to do to get Ubuntu to recognize my cam? | 06:11 |
| e-frame | Pubu: try cheese | 06:12 |
| Gnimsh | webcam? | 06:12 |
| adam7 | mobi-sheep: and he has a wireless router with NAT enabled, which is an excellent incoming firewall... | 06:12 |
| Gnimsh | digicam? | 06:12 |
| pup | Pubu: i did not have to do anything, just plugged it in and it was detected! | 06:12 |
| jasonmchristos | mobi-sheep: i saw the connection ok, why does this group try so hard to convince people not to use firewalls | 06:12 |
| lasehopesinyouu | oh true | 06:12 |
| lasehopesinyouu | it has both on there | 06:12 |
| pup | Pubu: mine is a Canon digicam | 06:12 |
| Pubu | i have a creative , hp, and another | 06:12 |
| Pubu | its a webcam, not digital camera | 06:12 |
| lasehopesinyouu | anyone ever try steam | 06:12 |
| click | what is a shortcut to minimize all windows and go to desktop? | 06:12 |
| mobi-sheep | jasonmchristos: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security Meanwhile, I'll find you a good firewall tutorial. | 06:12 |
| Pubu | cheese does not let me see the video | 06:13 |
| Gnimsh | well that's not fair, it didn't detect my canon at all | 06:13 |
| Gnimsh | exchanged it for a nokia | 06:13 |

| brodymcd | hi all - wireless problem in 9.04 - install was great, Broadcom in my dell lappy perfect right away... now I can't get on wireless at all, even though I have an eeepc (on which I am typing now) 6 inches away and on NO PROBLEM | 06:13 |
| s0| | anyone here good with sed? I have a file with ip addresses followed by some counts in CSV notation, I want to strip the last octet but sed 's/\.[0-9]{1,3}\,/,/' isn't striping the last octet | 06:13 |
| Gnimsh | I thought cheese was for webcams? | 06:13 |
| Pubu | yes it just says no camera found | 06:13 |
| Gnimsh | so the proximity of the eeepc dictates wifi connectivity? :p | 06:14 |
| Gnimsh | maybe you can't make videos through your computer | 06:14 |
| bullgard4 | losher: I am sorry. Your link is of no help: I found the same text in 3 other documents. One writer copies the text from another one. No original work. No explanation. -- Sorry. | 06:14 |
| prince_jammys | jasonmchristos: he has a blog. check there. | 06:14 |
| lasehopesinyouu | how do i get a weather widget | 06:14 |
| Gnimsh | brodymcd, you should download madwifi and install that | 06:14 |
| Gnimsh | it usually makes broadcom work | 06:14 |
| message144 | Is there a way to get sound in Firefox on 9.04? I have tried evry solution i could find on Google, but nothing seems to work | 06:14 |

| click | e-frame, thanks | 06:14 |
| Horwitz1 | Got networking problems, but they don't seem to just involve wireless. | 06:14 |
| jasonmchristos | prince_jammys: ok thanks i just thought maybe someone knew of tops | 06:14 |
| lasehopesinyouu | and change the look of my bars on top and the bottom of the screen | 06:14 |
| Gnimsh | lasehopesinyouu, for the widget, install screenlets | 06:15 |
| brodymcd | gnimsh - where to get madwifi? I ask because I will have to take lappy away to wired place, then come back and thank you when it works! :) | 06:15 |
| Horwitz1 | I plugged an Ethernet cable into my laptop and the modem, which has always worked before, but not now. | 06:15 |
| glitsj16 | message144: what plugins have you installed in firefox? | 06:15 |
| Gnimsh | google it | 06:15 |
| losher | angel_: I think the best setup is to netboot them from a server so any local changes can be wiped out with a reboot. Otherwise they'll end up full of porn & god knows what else... | 06:15 |
| e-frame | click: customize your keyboard shortcuts in system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts | 06:15 |
| lasehopesinyouu | what about themes | 06:15 |
| prince_jammys | jasonmchristos: probably because non-free drivers come bundled with ubuntu, is my guess. | 06:15 |
| Gnimsh | lasehopesinyouu: system>preferences>appearance | 06:15 |
| Pubu | do i need to restart ubuntu in order for it to detect a cam/camera? | 06:15 |
| losher | bullgard4: sorry, but it's clearly debian related. Maybe you can ask on #debian? | 06:15 |
| Gnimsh | www.gnome-look.org for more themes | 06:16 |
| message144 | glitsj16: I installed the flash plugin which didnt work.. Then i tried gnash with mplayer plugin and gstreamer | 06:16 |
| wrb123 | hello! | 06:16 |
| Gnimsh | message144, go to adobe's homepage and download flash for ubuntu 8.04+ | 06:16 |
| Gnimsh | hoping you have 32 bit | 06:16 |
| lasehopesinyouu | for screnlets do i download the source/ | 06:16 |
| Gnimsh | no | 06:16 |
| bullgard4 | losher: It has implications to ubuntu, too. I will give it a try in #debian. -- Thank you. | 06:16 |
| Gnimsh | what ubuntu are you running? | 06:16 |
| message144 | Gnimsh: Yes I did that | 06:16 |
| wrb123 | i just installed ubuntu 9 desktop version and i would like to say it's really awesome and so much better than when i tried to install 8 server edition and got frustrated setting up the networking.. good work linuxers | 06:16 |
| duvnell | I just installed an old PCI sound card and booted up.. it wasn't recognized, but is listed in dmesg in the boot messages... is there some tool I need to run to make it figure out which module to load to create the alsa device? | 06:16 |
| message144 | Gnimsh: 9.04 | 06:16 |
| message144 | Gnimsh: although its not just flash. No sound is working at all in FF | 06:17 |
| Horwitz1 | To be COMPLETELY honest, I'm not even sure it's an Ubuntu problem -- I switched over to Vista and it couldn't connect to the Internet. Just the house network. And I don't think either of the other computers are having problems. | 06:17 |
| message144 | Gnimsh: ogg isnt working either | 06:17 |
| Gnimsh | lasehopesinyouu, screenlets can be installed from synaptic | 06:17 |
| glitsj16 | message144: well, in any case, make sure you only have one flash related plugin active, odd that flashplugin-installer didn't work though ... any informative error messages when you run firefox from terminal? | 06:18 |
| Gnimsh | alternatively you can add a weather widget to your panels | 06:18 |
| Gnimsh | just right click and search | 06:18 |
| losher | duvnell: you may need a driver. I would try googling the card model number + ubuntu & see what turns up... | 06:18 |
| Gnimsh | I stopped using widgets cuz of that | 06:18 |
| arooni-mobile | how do i make jaunty's notification system NOT tell me about who is online/offline for pidgin? | 06:18 |
| Gnimsh | message144, is your sound set up to use pulseaudio by default, or alsa? | 06:18 |
| message144 | glitsj16: No error messages. My guess is that FF is using the wrong soundcard, because I am using Loigitech USB headphones | 06:18 |
| message144 | Gnimsh: I am not sure | 06:18 |
| Gnimsh | also, maybe make sure eveything's not muted (I know, I know, but I like to check simple things) | 06:18 |

| Gnimsh | message144, i found this on google http://clararaubertas.net/blog/no-sound-in-firefox-in-jaunty-solved/ | 06:20 |
| gogeta | twig11: was running to quick lol | 06:20 |
| Gnimsh | brodymcd, I'd say its worth a shot, and its very simple | 06:20 |
| Gnimsh | you extract it to your home directory | 06:20 |
| Gnimsh | open a terminal | 06:20 |
| Gnimsh | cd "folder name" | 06:20 |
| Gnimsh | sudo make | 06:20 |
| Gnimsh | sudo make install | 06:21 |
| FloodBot2 | Gnimsh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:21 |

| wrb123 | could someone help me figure out why on a fresh install of ubuntu 9.0x home or whatever it's called, i dont have permission to run apt-get from a terminal? can i just give myself root powers somehow | 06:21 |
| gogeta | twig11: you just edit it in any text edtor and put your ssid and key in | 06:21 |
| twig11 | gogeta: sure | 06:21 |
| gogeta | twig11: then sudo ./connect | 06:21 |
| gogeta | ill upload it | 06:22 |
| twig11 | okay | 06:22 |
| prince_jammys | wrb123: bad idea. just use sudo, eg: sudo apt-get install some_package | 06:22 |
| wrb123 | oh okay thank you | 06:22 |
| brodymcd | gnimsh - sorry to say - madwifi.org has errors wherever I click links | 06:22 |
| wrb123 | is that SUper user DO something basically? | 06:22 |
| prince_jammys | wrb123: that gives you temporary root privileges | 06:22 |
| owen1 | to start a hibrentated laptop, do i hit any key or is it the start botton? | 06:22 |

| zetanuxi | is anyone here familier with vitualbox? | 06:28 |
| arooni-mobile | mobi-sheep, do you know the name of the offending plugin? | 06:29 |
| twig11 | gogeta: wow that's really simple. I could do that couldn't I? Wow. | 06:29 |
| mobi-sheep | arooni-mobile: Hold. | 06:29 |
| Gnimsh | zetanuxi, i use it a bit | 06:29 |
| kaveh | hey im trying to use ventrilo through virtual box, audio set and working, my microphone is a logitech usb microphone (off guitar hero . . . . dont judge me xD ) anyway, the birtual box is running windows xp and it cant see the usb microphone, anyone have any experience with it? | 06:29 |
| zetanuxi | Gnimsh: what OS did you install on it? | 06:29 |
| owen1 | to start a hibrentated laptop, do i hit any key or is it the start botton? | 06:29 |
| Gnimsh | ubuntu 9.04 | 06:29 |
| dialman | Anyone know why wireless networking would work in a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 install on a Dell E1505 laptop, but everytime I reboot it starts out fast (500kb/s), and over the course of 30 mins gets slower and slower until it's only ~ 5kb/s | 06:29 |
| Gnimsh | kaveh, make sure you have a usb controller installed on your VM | 06:29 |
| brodymcd | gnimsh: don't understand - wireless was working FINE out of the box, now it is being really stubborn! | 06:29 |
| mobi-sheep | arooni-mobile: Libnotify Popups 0.14 | 06:29 |
| arooni-mobile | mobi-sheep, you rock; thanks | 06:30 |
| Horwitz1 | Is it possible for networking, wireless AND wired, to just stop working? | 06:30 |
| === kyppcgeek is now known as ALppcgeek | ||
| zetanuxi | you installed jaunty IN virtualbox? | 06:30 |
| Gnimsh | also right click the usb icon in VB bottom right and make sure its sending the usb device to your VM | 06:30 |
| Gnimsh | no | 06:30 |
| mobi-sheep | arooni-mobile: No problem. You wouldn't learn anything if I didn't guide you right to the end. :) | 06:30 |
| Gnimsh | I installed XP in virtualbox | 06:30 |
| Gnimsh | brodymcd, oohhh | 06:30 |
| mobi-sheep | ^^ If I guided you | 06:30 |
| arooni-mobile | mobi-sheep, you taught me how to fish ;p | 06:30 |
| Gnimsh | brodymcd, do you have an on/off switch for your wifi? Maybe it was hit accidentally turned off wireless | 06:31 |
| zetanuxi | Gnimsh: okay, thats waht im trying to do. now midway through installation, the DVD drive stops responding | 06:31 |
| mobi-sheep | arooni-mobile: :) | 06:31 |
| brodymcd | gnimsh - i do, and it is on | 06:31 |
| Gnimsh | what dvd drive, zetanuxi? | 06:31 |
| kaveh | Gnimsh, wont installing windows xp include a usb controller? | 06:31 |
| Gnimsh | and you've tried restarting? | 06:31 |
| zetanuxi | Gnimsh: and i get a kernel panic | 06:31 |
| Gnimsh | it should | 06:31 |
| kaveh | otherwise how does any machine running xp play with usb | 06:31 |
| ALppcgeek | modprobe the wifi card | 06:31 |
| kaveh | ok i was looking and the VM isnt even seeing usb's.. | 06:31 |
| Gnimsh | kaveh, just make sure you have one | 06:31 |
| kaveh | however my mouse is a usb mouse works | 06:32 |
| brodymcd | gnimsh - I can still see networks, and when I try to connect, it just tries forever and then fails. I have restarted... it isn't working | 06:32 |
| brodymcd | alppgeek - was that for me? modprobe? | 06:32 |
| zetanuxi | after many kernel panics, my 2.7 kernel disappeared from GRUB.......... | 06:32 |
| Keranu | I installed Ubuntu onto my second hard drive (used the entire drive), but my PC still boots into WinXP | 06:32 |
| Keranu | I left the Grub installer to the default hd0 | 06:33 |
| Anonni_Mouse | exit | 06:33 |
| zetanuxi | how do i restore it? | 06:33 |
| Keranu | Anyone know why it's doing this? | 06:33 |
| MRBANX | wow this channel is very busy | 06:33 |
| Gnimsh | Keranu, hd0 would be your first hdd, maybe that has something to do with it | 06:33 |
| zetanuxi | keranu: configure GRUB to choose ubuntu by default | 06:33 |
| assassin | how is your menu.lst saying? | 06:33 |
| arooni-mobile | whats the best dock program for jaunty? | 06:33 |
| gogeta | twig11: yep scripting is easy sleep delays it so it doesent do everything all at once | 06:34 |
| Keranu | My first hdd is my Windows one, I figured that's where it would need to go | 06:34 |
| mobi-sheep | arooni-mobile: Gnome-Do or Cairo Dock IMO. | 06:34 |
| Keranu | Grub doesn't boot up | 06:34 |
| Keranu | It just goes straight to WinXP | 06:34 |
| twig11 | gogeta: and the number following sleep is seconds? | 06:34 |
| ac13 | hi! I have noticed that if I set my screensaver to show at 10 minutes, I cannot tell my display to poweroff until 11 minutes have passed. any way to avoid this and have my display turn off in say 5 minutes (under battery power)? | 06:34 |
| assassin | error number 2? | 06:34 |
| gogeta | twig11: yep | 06:34 |
| twig11 | gogeta: pretty slick | 06:34 |
| Gnimsh | mobi-sheep, I'm gonna have to disagree | 06:34 |
| qe2eqe | Is there any caveats to giving myself two hostnames? | 06:35 |
| zetanuxi | hmm...when XP boots, edit the boot.ini file to add the Ubuntu drive on it | 06:35 |
| Gnimsh | arooni-mobile and mobi-sheep I love cairo dock | 06:35 |
| arooni-mobile | do i need to do anything if i have a t61 and intel video card? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_9.04_(Jaunty_Jackalope)_on_a_Thinkpad_T61 says that there are regressions | 06:35 |
| Gnimsh | use version 1.6 if you have an ati card though | 06:35 |
| mobi-sheep | Gnimsh: .... | 06:35 |
| benjamin | HI | 06:35 |
| gogeta | twig11: scripts are just txt file with chmod +x to make it a script | 06:35 |
| Gnimsh | mobi-sheep, I LOVE gnome-do, I do. But I don't use docky cuz I find it limiting, and I'm a left dock guy | 06:36 |
| ^Phantom^ | I need help with Istanbul. When I try to record sound, it locks up. Every time. What can I do to remedy this? | 06:36 |
| ac13 | can anyone help me? | 06:36 |
| benjamin | i have a prob a quick google didnt help with | 06:36 |
| gogeta | twig11: you can script any command set | 06:36 |
| ^Phantom^ | I would like to be able to record sound. | 06:36 |
| twig11 | gogeta: I can see that. | 06:36 |
| assassin | I've just downloaded a dropdown menu theme,How can I install it? | 06:36 |
| Gnimsh | oh god I was about to quote they might be giants at you, ^Phantom^ | 06:36 |
| benjamin | my eeepc left click wont work (including tap) | 06:36 |
| kaveh | ook then | 06:36 |
| jeremy__ | recording sound is easy | 06:36 |
| Keranu | zetanuxi: What would I need to type in the boot.ini? | 06:36 |
| benjamin | on cruncheee | 06:36 |
| Gnimsh | assassin, is it a targ.gz file? | 06:36 |
| kaveh | it would seem i dont have a usb controlelr | 06:36 |
| kaveh | :o | 06:36 |
| mobi-sheep | Gnimsh: I did said Cairo Dock. Either way. It benefits more when you're using both (gnome-do, not gnome-do-docky). | 06:36 |
| gogeta | twig11: i mean any lol dont wanna make a system killer | 06:36 |
| Gnimsh | ah ok | 06:36 |
| zetanuxi | can anyone help me with this kernel phenomenon? | 06:36 |
| assassin | yes | 06:36 |
| jeremy__ | yessss | 06:37 |
| Gnimsh | mobi-sheep, then I apologize for ignoring you when you mentioned cairodock. and now I agree with you as well | 06:37 |
| MRBANX | anyone have Redeon 9000 ? i have a low graphics mode issue, its loading the driver fine, very weird | 06:37 |
| zetanuxi | keranu: boot.ini is the bootloader for windows. you need to point it to the boot sector on the ubuntu drive. | 06:37 |
| Keranu | I have boot.ini opened now | 06:37 |
| assassin | but the theme manager said it isn't a usable tar.gz file | 06:37 |
| Gnimsh | kaveh, thanks for looking :p :) | 06:37 |
| Shazburg | I'm looking for a little help with automating my install. Can anyone here help me? | 06:37 |
| kaveh | Gnimsh thanks for making me look xD, i would never have thought i dont have one :O | 06:38 |
| Keranu | Would I just need a line that says "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\LINUX="Ubuntu Linux" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect" | 06:38 |
| Keranu | ? | 06:38 |
| twig11 | gogeta: What I wish is that there were a way to make a script like that that a standard user could launch by just clicking an icon, but with sudo it would have to have an admin password anyway so it wouldn't work. Other people use this computer a lot and they don't want to mess with the command line. | 06:38 |
| mobi-sheep | !automate | Shazburg | 06:38 |
| ubottu | Shazburg: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 06:38 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, did you get the dock themes some place? | 06:38 |
| Gnimsh | arooni-mobile I use one of the default ones | 06:38 |
| Gnimsh | lemme see | 06:38 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, do you use it instead of bottom dock? | 06:39 |
| Gnimsh | yes | 06:39 |
| mobi-sheep | Gnimsh: Never used Cairo Dock myself but I test-drive AWN. It was terrible. :P | 06:39 |
| Shazburg | A bot, eh? Not gonna cut it, ubottu. | 06:39 |
| Gnimsh | ya I hated awn | 06:39 |
| Gnimsh | ok I can't tell which theme I use without changing all of em | 06:39 |
| twig11 | gogeta: I got disconnected there. don't know if you answered. | 06:39 |
| jeremy__ | eh...20yrs and I'm learning the FOIL method..jeesh | 06:39 |
| Gnimsh | but its just a plain blackish-gray type thing | 06:39 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, how do you get it to just display current apps; not launch apps | 06:39 |
| gogeta | twig11: testing are you | 06:40 |
| Gnimsh | i'm sure that's a plugin, arooni-mobile. lemme look | 06:40 |
| Shazburg | mobi-sheep: Actually, I have my preseed working. Everything is great. I just need to turn off the language prompt when the installer menu first loads, so it can timeout and move on to my default. | 06:40 |
| gogeta | twig11: you can click on it and slect run in termel | 06:40 |
| twig11 | gogeta: no :-) I still haven't transferred over to the ubuntu machine. | 06:41 |
| twig11 | I'm in this chat room on my laptop. | 06:41 |
| gogeta | twig11: it will have the same effect | 06:41 |
| losher | twig11: it can be done, but I think you have to compile a C program, make it setuid root, and then have the program invoke the script.... | 06:41 |
| Gnimsh | arooni-mobile, you have way too many tab complete names | 06:41 |
| Gnimsh | anyway, right click the dock and go to config | 06:41 |
| Gnimsh | click the advanced button | 06:41 |
| mobi-sheep | Shazburg: That's great. I don't know the answer to that. Sorry. | 06:41 |
| iceblock | omg i just found out im human | 06:41 |
| * mobi-sheep test-drive cairo-dock. | 06:42 | |
| Shazburg | mobi-sheep: Thanks for trying. | 06:42 |
| gogeta | twig11: ifconfig whont let you toss it into binary mode or i woulda make it a click and run | 06:42 |
| Gnimsh | arooni-mobile, then choose the taskbar tab on the left. Check the box to display applications | 06:42 |
| gogeta | lol | 06:42 |
| twig11 | iceblock: lol it's never too late to discover that | 06:42 |
| Gnimsh | then just drag off all your shortcuts and they'll disappear | 06:42 |
| ac13 | hi. I need help with power management settings. | 06:42 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, i see; what other settings do you reccomend? | 06:42 |
| Gnimsh | none | 06:42 |
| Gnimsh | I hate having my apps in my dock | 06:42 |
| twig11 | gogeta: It's fine. my hope is that I won't even need it that often. | 06:42 |
| Gnimsh | dock is for shortcuts, panel is for apps | 06:43 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, how do you switch between apps? | 06:43 |
| gogeta | heh | 06:43 |
| Gnimsh | alt+tab/mouse/scale and expose | 06:43 |
| ac13 | if no one in the irc channel is going to help, where should I ask? | 06:43 |
| iceblock | con sequencer never seems to work why??? | 06:43 |
| Gnimsh | ac13, ask your question in more detail | 06:43 |
| ac13 | I did earlier: | 06:43 |
| gogeta | twig11: slecting run in termel when you click it should work fine | 06:43 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, oh goodies they fixed scale in jaunty; | 06:43 |
| ac13 | hi! I have noticed that if I set my screensaver to show at 10 minutes, I cannot tell my display to poweroff until 11 minutes have passed. any way to avoid this and have my display turn off in say 5 minutes (under battery power)? | 06:44 |
| Gnimsh | I've been using it for a while | 06:44 |
| Gnimsh | 11 minutes seems to be the lowest I can make mine go as well | 06:44 |
| twig11 | gogeta: right, but it will still ask for a password, right? | 06:44 |
| gogeta | yes | 06:44 |
| Horwitz1 | I asked my question a couple of times a while back, too. | 06:44 |
| ac13 | sorry to sound rude btw. I'm just a bit tired. and it seems like I get lost in the crowd... | 06:44 |
| twig11 | gogeta: should work\ | 06:44 |
| assassin | I removed the /bin/bash of Ubuntu by mistake,and I put a bash used by Arch in /bin,Will it cause any serious problems? | 06:44 |
| Gnimsh | no problem I've been there, ac13 | 06:44 |
| gogeta | twig11: any program nedding sudo will | 06:44 |
| gogeta | even gui ones | 06:44 |
| mobi-sheep | Gnimsh: I think Cairo-Dock need a better __default__ theme. | 06:44 |
| twig11 | gogeta: that's what I thought | 06:45 |
| iceblock | vote: should i rip robocop next or princess bride??? | 06:45 |
| assassin | ? | 06:45 |
| losher | ac13: gnome or kde? | 06:45 |
| ac13 | gnome | 06:45 |
| assassin | sb. help me? | 06:45 |
| losher | assassin: no way to tell. I would reinstall bash asap if I were you... | 06:45 |
| mobi-sheep | iceblock: Princess Bride. Either way, take the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:45 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, how do i launch cairo-dock outside a terminal so it always runs? | 06:45 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, what do you put in your doc? | 06:45 |
| ac13 | assassin: can you reinstall from apt? | 06:46 |
| Gnimsh | arooni-mobile, go to system, preferences, startup applications | 06:46 |
| assassin | from apt? | 06:46 |
| Gnimsh | add it in there | 06:46 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, i did; but i dont wanna restart right now | 06:46 |
| ac13 | assassin: synaptic. system->administrators->synaptic? I dunno. just a guess | 06:46 |
| Gnimsh | otherwise it installs to either apps>system tools or accessories | 06:46 |
| losher | ac13: you could try ##gnome next... | 06:46 |
| Gnimsh | or alt+f2 cairo-dock | 06:46 |
| gogeta | twig11: well that should not be a problem for other users unless they restart the pc | 06:46 |
| twig11 | gogeta: right | 06:47 |
| assassin | i reinstalled from apt,nothing happend | 06:47 |
| gogeta | twig11: as long as wifi radar works you whont need it | 06:47 |
| ac13 | losher: thanks I'll try that | 06:47 |
| Gnimsh | arooni-mobile, I only put my most used programs in my dock | 06:47 |
| twig11 | gogeta: I hope it does. I have it installed | 06:47 |
| assassin | it says every pack is latest | 06:47 |
| echosystm | is ext4 100% stable ? | 06:47 |
| gogeta | echosystm: nothings 100% | 06:48 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, how do you show desktop if you get rid of bottom bar? | 06:48 |
| losher | assassin: you need to *reinstall* e.g. apt-get install --reinstall bash | 06:48 |
| gogeta | echosystm: ext4 is still under testing | 06:48 |
| twig11 | gogeta: is there any way network-manager could interfere if it's trying to connect on startup? | 06:48 |
| assassin | i'll try it | 06:48 |
| losher | echosystm: it's unclear if ext4 is 100% stable. I would stick to ext3 for a couple more releases... | 06:48 |
| echosystm | ok | 06:48 |
| Gnimsh | bottom bar of the dock? | 06:49 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, so you only put apps that you want to launch? not currently running apps? | 06:49 |
| Gnimsh | well there's a show desktop button on the panel, right next to the divider. | 06:49 |
| gogeta | twig11: it shouldent being the script brings it down first | 06:49 |
| Gnimsh | right | 06:49 |
| Gnimsh | also scale allows me to click on the destop | 06:49 |
| Gnimsh | but I hate doing that | 06:49 |
| assassin | successful completed | 06:49 |
| arooni-mobile | Gnimsh, uh i dont see the show desktop button ;p | 06:49 |
| losher | assassin: so did it work? | 06:49 |
| MRBANX | anyone have Redeon 9000 ? i have a low graphics mode issue, its loading the open source driver fine, but not working correctly | 06:49 |
| assassin | yeah | 06:50 |
| twig11 | gogeta: okay. will wifi radar conflict with network-manager in any way? | 06:50 |
| losher | assassin: cool... | 06:50 |
| assassin | thanks ,thank 4 everyone | 06:50 |
| Gnimsh | hah | 06:50 |
| gogeta | twig11: it brings down the card down flushes dhclient and brings it all back up | 06:50 |
| gogeta | twig11: oh you got network manager back well use that | 06:51 |
| Gnimsh | my argument for my friend who uses windows to switch is that at least when linux breaks its because I broke it, and not some random accident | 06:51 |
| Gnimsh | her laptop running XP had some random error causing a BSOD on boot | 06:51 |
| twig11 | gogeta: so far I've never connected successfully with network-manager. That's why I'm hoping it isn't actually part of the problem. | 06:51 |
| w00ter | lol | 06:51 |
| w00ter | bsod | 06:52 |
| Gnimsh | ya | 06:52 |
| gogeta | twig11: your cards a odd one | 06:52 |
| Gnimsh | I fixed it for her | 06:52 |
| Horwitz1 | "at least when linux breaks its because I broke it, and not some random accident" <-- Networking being the exception? | 06:52 |
| Gnimsh | she was going to mail it in | 06:52 |
| Gnimsh | Horwitz1, obviously you broke it :p | 06:52 |
| Gnimsh | I fixed her laptop in like 20 minutes | 06:52 |
| w00ter | anyone have an alfa 500mw and care to discuss the ease of setup? | 06:52 |
| twig11 | gogeta: must be. It was very reliable on xp, it seems. | 06:52 |
| gogeta | twig11: yea you tryed wifi radar and didnt work | 06:53 |
| Horwitz1 | I can't even figure out what the problem is here. | 06:53 |
| gogeta | twig11: heck just dhclient -r wlan0 should make any gui work | 06:53 |
| assassin | i've to leave, bye,comrades(just for kidding)! | 06:53 |
| Gnimsh | what are you trying to do Horwitz1? | 06:53 |
| twig11 | gogeta: yeah, but remember NOTHING was working then, not even the command line. | 06:53 |
| Horwitz1 | Lemme scroll up to what I said before... | 06:53 |
| owen1 | to start a hibrentated laptop, do i hit any key or is it the start botton? | 06:53 |
| gogeta | twig11: well i didnt think dhclient was the issue it was | 06:54 |
| Horwitz1 | "Got networking problems, but they don't seem to just involve wireless. I plugged an Ethernet cable into my laptop and the modem, which has always worked before, but not now." | 06:54 |
| Horwitz1 | "To be COMPLETELY honest, I'm not even sure it's an Ubuntu problem -- I switched over to Vista and it couldn't connect to the Internet. Just the house network. And I don't think either of the other computers are having problems." | 06:54 |
| gogeta | twig11: by your pastbin after you did that it started taking commands | 06:54 |
| twig11 | gogeta: earlier dhclient -r wlan0 wasn't helping. I'd enter my essid and key after that and iwconfig would show no essid entered at all. | 06:54 |
| Void | byes | 06:54 |
| gogeta | twig11: so what did you do | 06:55 |
| gogeta | twig11: by your pastebin you took the card down cleaned dhclient and brought it all back up and wala | 06:55 |
| Gnimsh | Horwitz1, do you get wifi connectivity? | 06:56 |
| gogeta | twig11: well lets hope whatever you did sticks | 06:57 |
| mrblanco | hello | 06:57 |
| twig11 | gogeta: The only other thing I know I changed was as near as I can remember right before that final dhclient -r wlan0. Look at this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Linksys_WUSB11v4_(ndiswrapper) End of step 6. /etc/network/interfaces. it didn't work until I changed wireless-essid to essid and wireless-key1 to key. Could that have been the issue? | 06:58 |
| Horwitz1 | It's picking up the network fine. It's just that when I try to CONNECT, it doesn't work. | 06:59 |
| mlissner | Hi, I'm having some trouble mounting a disk. | 06:59 |
| mlissner | I've tried the google, but to no avail, so far. | 06:59 |
| Gnimsh | hmmm | 06:59 |
| mlissner | For some reason it isn't showing up in fdisk. | 07:00 |
| Gnimsh | horwitz, can you describe this in like, less than 10 words? | 07:00 |
| mrblanco | how do i intall my web cam its A4tech | 07:00 |
| mlissner | Does anybody have any thoughts? | 07:00 |
| The_Warlock | can anybody provide me a sample xsession? | 07:00 |
| mlissner | I should add, it's an NTFS disk from a friend's laptop mounted with one of those adapter things. | 07:00 |
| Gnimsh | mlissner, did you try gparted? | 07:00 |
| mlissner | Gnimsh: yeah, doesn't showup | 07:00 |
| Gnimsh | is it unmounted? | 07:01 |
| Gnimsh | does it have power? etc silly things easily missed | 07:01 |
| mlissner | Gnimsh: It would be in fdisk if so, right? | 07:01 |
| Horwitz1 | Gnimsh: Network detected, both wired and wireless, but not connecting. | 07:01 |
| mrblanco | how do i intall my web cam its A4tech | 07:01 |
| mlissner | Gnimsh: It has power, and is spinning. | 07:01 |
| Gnimsh | probably, I don't use that as much | 07:01 |
| twig11 | gogeta: Crazy. I just rebooted and tried to launch wifi-radar from the menu. I get this error: Could not launch Wifi-radar; Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory) What's that about? | 07:02 |
| gogeta | twig11: man that card hates guis | 07:02 |
| gogeta | twig11: well try my little script sudo ./connect | 07:03 |
| mlissner | So no other thoughts ubuntu crowd? | 07:03 |
| mlissner | I gotta get this thing connected somehow. | 07:03 |
| mlissner | It'd be really bad if I lost it. | 07:03 |
| twig11 | gogeta: okay I gotta transfer it over | 07:03 |
| gogeta | twig11: make shure your in the same dir the scripts in | 07:03 |
| twig11 | gogeta: yep | 07:03 |
| Gnimsh | mlissner, add the disk mounter applet to your panel | 07:04 |
| mavado_ | hey.. | 07:04 |
| Gnimsh | see if any disks show up there | 07:04 |
| Gnimsh | probably also run through fdisk or some such but worth a shot | 07:04 |
| losher | mlissner: what kind of 'adapter thing' are we talking about... | 07:04 |
| Cryptorchild | anyone knows how to add more Microsoft font into Ubuntu? | 07:04 |
| Gnimsh | and try accessing it through a live cd on the host system | 07:04 |
| Gnimsh | Cryptorchild, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts | 07:04 |
| mlissner | Gnimsh: I already have that applet. So far, no evidence of any action. | 07:04 |
| mlissner | losher: It's one of those USB --> SATA adapers? | 07:05 |
| Cryptorchild | Gnimsh, and what about font we download from internet? | 07:05 |
| Cryptorchild | custom font actually | 07:05 |
| Gnimsh | dunno about that at all | 07:05 |
| losher | mlissner: if you run dmesg in a terminal, does it say anything about seeing the drive? | 07:05 |
| Gnimsh | mlissner, curious. I'd second the question about the type of adapter | 07:05 |
| mavado_ | hey people anybody ever got this "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." | 07:06 |
| twig11 | gogeta: bummer. same results as before I got it working | 07:06 |
| brodymcd1 | ok - back again, sorry - can someone please help explain this - Ubuntu 9.04 works with my Dell lappy wifi (Broadcom) out of the box, then within 48 hours now has just stopped connecting? This happened before, then I dropped back to 8.10, now back to 9.04 and thought all was well... what is going on? | 07:06 |
| mavado_ | i think i have all the codecs | 07:06 |
| mlissner | losher: yeah, dmesg reports the following relevant stuff: [105284.937238] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 111 | 07:06 |

| twig11 | gogeta: the script worked fine but dhclient can't connect. | 07:07 |
| mlissner | Sorry, floodbot hates me. | 07:07 |
| losher | mlissner: you need to use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste more than a couple of lines. I still don't see a device name allocated.... | 07:07 |
| gogeta | twig11: maye its to fast | 07:07 |
| gogeta | twig11: type iwconfig to make shure the ssid took | 07:08 |
| mlissner | losher: yeah, wasn't sure what the threshold was...it seems to give it sdb, I think, but that doesn't seem to get me anywhere. | 07:08 |
| Gnimsh | mlissner, what about accessing the hdd with a livecd from the computer it lives in? | 07:08 |
| twig11 | gogeta: no essid. just like before. When I was typing all those commands by hand it did the same thing. | 07:09 |
| losher | mlissner: where does it say sdb. It's not in what you pasted... | 07:09 |
| gogeta | humm | 07:09 |
| gogeta | twig11: gimmie that pasbin url again | 07:09 |
| mlissner | losher: it says, [sdb] Attached SCSI disk | 07:09 |
| gogeta | twig11: maybe i missed something | 07:09 |
| twig11 | gogeta: I don't think I kept it. | 07:09 |
| mlissner | Gnimsh: that /might/ work, I guess....hadn't tried that yet. | 07:09 |
| gogeta | ill see f its i my history | 07:10 |
| Andorin | What's the command to upgrade a program? I want VLC 1.0. | 07:10 |
| losher | mlissner: ok, what does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb say? | 07:10 |
| Horwitz1 | Andorin: I think it's done with apt-get. | 07:10 |
| twig11 | gogeta: http://pastebin.com/m3cb6a0eb That should be it | 07:11 |
| Andorin | Oh, it says vlc is already the newest version. I guess 1.0 isn't in the repositories yet. | 07:11 |
| gogeta | twig11: just try the script again | 07:11 |
| gogeta | twig11: looks right | 07:11 |
| mlissner | losher: Nothing relevant, i think: http://paste.ubuntu.com/217598/ | 07:12 |
| twig11 | gogeta: if I click and select Run in Terminal it doesn't matter where I am, right? | 07:12 |
| gogeta | twig11: shouldent | 07:12 |
| duckwars | I know you will yell at me for this, but I did some quick google search and I can't find the answers... how can I create a new group, add people to that group, and check what groups a user is a part of | 07:12 |
| losher | mlissner: not what I asked for. I want to see fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 07:12 |
| ``y7 | i know this is a debian question, but nobody is responding in there... can anybody help me out with this one in here? I'm trying to boot debian off of a USB drive (debian-live-501-amd64-gnome-desktop.img) and when it boots up, i get an error saying that the "Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x6"... how can i go about solving this issue? Thanks. | 07:12 |
| Gnimsh | Horwitz1, i googled your problem | 07:12 |
| twig11 | gogeta: same results | 07:12 |
| mlissner | losher: my bad. I haven't run that command yet...should I do that, or should I do the suggestion about a live CD? I have a live CD I quickly put to work? | 07:13 |
| Gnimsh | ``y7, maybe you can format the usb drive to ext3 or something in gparted, and then try it...though that shouldn't be needed | 07:13 |
| losher | mlissner: if you haven't booted the live cd yet, no harm in trying fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 07:14 |
| ``y7 | Gnimsh, i get the same problem when i attempt to install debian 5.01 onto the hdd.... the installation goes fine, it reboots, has me take the cd out, and then booting up, i get the same problem... | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnimsh: ext2 is better for usb, less write cycles | 07:14 |
| Gnimsh | ah interesting | 07:14 |
| amitprakash_ | hi.. how do i install php 5.3 on hardy heron? | 07:14 |
| ``y7 | my only linux machine is the one i'm trying to get up right now ;( | 07:14 |

| mlissner | losher: in that case, hang on a tick, I had actually started the boot before you had asked that last one... | 07:14 |
| Gnimsh | why not try ubuntu instead, ``y7? | 07:14 |

| ActionParsnip | ``y7: does the cd pass self check? | 07:15 |
| gogeta | twig11: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "ssid" | 07:15 |
| losher | mlissner: never mind. You'll end up running it when the live cd boots anyway... | 07:15 |
| ``y7 | ActionParsnip, i don't know how to check that | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ``y7: did you burn the cd slowly | 07:15 |
| ``y7 | ActionParsnip: how can i check that for you? | 07:15 |
| gogeta | twig11: maybe the card cant do both at once | 07:15 |

| hsu | how can i solve this problem | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ``y7: bun as slow as the meia will allow, 8x is advised, 4x if you can | 07:16 |

| Gnimsh | not much luck :( | 07:16 |

| gogeta | twig11: then the script | 07:20 |
| twig11 | gogeta: now I'm completely flummoxed. I typed the whole string of commands in again and it worked. | 07:21 |
| twig11 | gogeta: without sudo ndiswrapper -m | 07:21 |
| gogeta | twig11: so the scripts to fast | 07:21 |
| zomation | I have a toshiba satellite computer with a 802.11b/g wireless card and i can't connect to the internet | 07:21 |
| losher | billenium: then I guess you need to describe your requirements more fully... | 07:21 |
| zomation | i have ubuntu 8 | 07:21 |

| twig11 | gogeta: AND I'm typing it too fast some of the time? | 07:21 |
| twig11 | gogeta: Because it doesn't always work when I do it manually. | 07:22 |
| gogeta | twig11: no the script was orignal to fast for my pc | 07:22 |
| zomation | hello? | 07:22 |

| losher | billenium: cool... | 07:23 |
| Shazburg | Andorin: firefox-3.5 | 07:23 |
| zomation | hehe... its just what i do... | 07:23 |
| Shazburg | Andorin: apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 07:23 |
| twig11 | gogeta: What I'm saying is if it is a speed issue, does it actually need to run slow enough that I would have to slow down even if I'm entering it by hand? hard to believe but entering it by hand doesn't always work, so if speed is the issue... | 07:23 |
| mlissner | losher: OK, I think it worked. | 07:23 |
| Andorin | Shazburg: Thx. | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zomation: we help or free here so we do our best, simply ask then wait a while, then re-ask | 07:23 |
| losher | mlissner: df -h will confirm the mount | 07:23 |
| gogeta | twig11: once you change sleep save it and run it agin see if all is well then | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zomation: ok can you use pastebin to provide the output of: | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zomation: sudo lshw -C network | 07:24 |
| zomation | Ya im in vista now | 07:24 |
| zomation | can't do that | 07:24 |
| Shazburg | Andorin: You bet. It sits alongside your existing 3.0 install. I opted to leave 3.0 alone and manually relink firefox to firefox-3.5. | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zomation: then run: sudo lshw -C neywork > ~/output.txt | 07:24 |
| zomation | did that before and got unclaimed | 07:25 |

| Andorin | Shazburg: How is 3.5, in your opinion? | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zomation: use a wired connection until you get on your feet | 07:25 |
| Shazburg | Andorin: You'll see it as "Shiretoko" in your gnome menus. | 07:25 |

| ESphynx | Hi guys, do you think I can trust Ubuntu 9.04 to resize an ntfs partition without losing the data on it? | 07:25 |
| Andorin | Shazburg: What the? It's Shiretoko web browser now? | 07:26 |
| amitprakash_ | ESphynx, think so | 07:26 |
| mobi-sheep | ESphynx: Make the backup first. | 07:26 |
| ESphynx | mobi-sheep I'd have to somehow get samba working and transfer 40 gb to get the backup done so... if the chances of success are > 90% ... | 07:26 |
| mobi-sheep | ESphynx: No big deal. I backed up 200GB today. :3 | 07:27 |
| Shazburg | Andorin: That's the project name for it at Mozilla. The firefox-3.5 package hasn't been rebranded. Debian and Mozilla are having a pissing match, so it's up to the Ubuntu guys to put the branding back. | 07:27 |
| The_Warlock | how do i make the following command run when my gnome session starts up in ubuntu 9.04 | 07:27 |
| ESphynx | i'm mostly worried about some dome GUI code not actually saving the data | 07:27 |
| The_Warlock | xrdb -load .Xdefaults | 07:27 |
| gogeta | twig11: the script was to fast orignaly just change the sleep commands to 10 | 07:27 |

| ActionParsnip | Spad-XIII: instead run: sudo /etc/init/d/networking stop; sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/networking start | 07:29 |
| Shazburg | mobi-sheep: It has to do with Mozilla changing the license for the Firefox name and logos. Technically, it's no longer free. Debian don't play that, so now they call it "IceWeasel". | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Spad-XIII: hard shutdowns arent good for your hardware | 07:29 |
| Shazburg | Andorin: You bet. | 07:29 |
| Spad-XIII | ActionParsnip: i know, but nothing responds, not the mouse, not even numlock .. | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Spad-XIII: can you ssh in? | 07:30 |
| Spad-XIII | ActionParsnip: it doesn't have network :) | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Spad-XIII: i'd get an output of dmesg, one when wifiworks, one when wired works, and comare | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Spad-XIII: I'd check your ram | 07:31 |
| Spad-XIII | ActionParsnip: i've never had wifi work at my place .. it keeps asking about the wpa2-password or locks up .. | 07:32 |

| ActionParsnip | amitprakash_: then you need a PPA with it on, or compile source | 07:34 |
| amitprakash_ | ActionParsnip, :) which is why i specifically asked for a version =) | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | amitprakash_: i'm sorry i do not know what version number every package on the official repos is currently at. i will revise later.... | 07:35 |

| Spad-XIII | ActionParsnip: but they should be allright .. i've been running windows on it since i bought it earlier this year without problems or lockups .. the lockup only happens when it tries to connect to my wireless and only since this last week | 07:35 |

| topher_ | :D | 07:36 |
| Guest60983 | Hey im back with my results from the sudo command. | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Jar_: if the system is to always use static IP, i'd use the interfaces file and uninstall network manager, makes your system boot faster and run less processes | 07:36 |
| Gnimsh | its in synaptic you don't need a link | 07:36 |
| Spad-XIII | ActionParsnip: lol, i boot up from live-usb and the wired network works just fine .... | 07:36 |

| gogeta | mkelkar: oh the nivida fan is running | 07:52 |

| mkelkar | will update you | 08:05 |
| Shazburg | Conner: If you are using Gnome, you can go to "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers" and it should automagically detect you have an NVidia card and offer you the official drivers to install. | 08:05 |
| Conner | OK, Well I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8200m graphics card. Everytime i install ubuntu and try to install it, ubuntu gives an error. | 08:06 |
| gogeta | mkelkar: with any luck it supports your model :) | 08:06 |

| Shazburg | Conner: You're welcome. I'm sorry I couldn't offer you a solution. | 08:14 |

| mkelkar | gogeta -- what were your settings for temp | 08:15 |
| Shazburg | Conner: Have you checked with the NVidia site to see if your card is supported by the drivers? | 08:15 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: it's using ath9k as the driver (running from live-usb now).. card is: Atheros AR928X | 08:15 |
| rww | empiric: personally, I've used and would recommend unetbootin, which is detailed in the second section of "Automatic Approaches" | 08:15 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: the funny thing is, it worked right off the bat (first boot/time only) with a different router (which was also setup in wpa-personal with wpa/wpa2 mode) | 08:16 |
| Conner | Yes, i put im my card information and os information (used linux 32bit, because i would use ubuntu x86) and it gave me a driver to download | 08:16 |
| DVA5912 | http://pasteme.pastebin.com/m388486c4 im getting this error. what package do i need to install | 08:16 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: from what i read iwconfig can not handel wpa2 | 08:17 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: it should handel wpa though? | 08:17 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: well if its getting the essid your gui should work | 08:18 |
| Shazburg | Conner: I'm just stabbing in the dark, but it sounds like either a bad card or an issue with the drivers. | 08:18 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: because my router uses the highest-available encryption .. so if wpa2 doesn't work, it falls back to wpa .. i've tried setting it to wpa-only, but that didn't help | 08:18 |

When I remove xorg.conf, it boots okay, but I dont have those "acceleration metod uxa", etc.. any suggestions what might be causing this, please? | 08:20 |
| gogeta | thats for asciikey | 08:20 |
| progre55 | I tried to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but doesnt help.. | 08:21 |
| Ali_nz | and what about including the dir location in the results? | 08:21 |
| gogeta | thats s: with no space | 08:21 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: same error .. | 08:22 |
| gogeta | so s:mykey | 08:22 |
| gogeta | wtf | 08:22 |
| Hilikus | how do i modify a rule in ufw? i have a limit rule but i want to change the threshold | 08:22 |

| leonbrussels | Hi. I just got one of the intel atom boards for my mum and just transplanted the HDD from her old computer. However, suspend does not work. The thing turns off, the power led does not blink, when I turn it on the screen doesn't turn on. Hibernate works fine. I am thinking it could be because I fiddled around with the suspend scripts back in the day when I tried fixing suspend on her old machine. Is there any way to "reset" all the sus | 08:22 |
| leonbrussels | pend scripts? | 08:22 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: it hasn't work at my place .. but i had a working wifi connection with a different router somewhere else | 08:23 |
| Shazburg | Conner: While OSX uses a totally different graphics solution (Quartz), I would say that if you think you have a bad video card, then you probably have a bad card. You might be able to get X going with a generic display driver. | 08:23 |
| [R] | leonbrussels: well first you would need to know what you 'fiddled' with | 08:23 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: probly wasent encrypted if i rember the ath5k driver does not support keys | 08:23 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: i used networkmanager to set the key in both places .. i tried wicd (or wcid?) as well, didn't work | 08:23 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: yea but wpa2 has issue with alot of drivers | 08:24 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: i'm using the ath9k driver .. and the other working network was definately encrypted (i set it up as well.. different router) | 08:24 |
| gogeta | they where probly wep | 08:24 |
| leonbrussels | [R]: I have no idea, it was about a year ago, I just forgot :( | 08:24 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: have you tryd nidswrapper or the madwifi set | 08:24 |
| Conner | Thank you Shazburg for your support. Ubuntu has not failed me yet, as i will install it on an older build as soon as i get a new HDD. Thank you again Shazburg | 08:24 |
| [R] | leonbrussels: easiest thing would be to reinstall... seeing as if its over a year ago its pretty old and crusty anyway | 08:24 |

| Spad-XIII | gogeta: i haven't tried ndiswrapper no, the madwifi i checked out a bit, but couldn't find any instruction-sites newer than 2006 .. :\ | 08:25 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: so its sees the network but will not accept the key correct | 08:25 |
| Hilikus | where does ufw store its rules | 08:25 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: yea, it finds networks just fine .. it just won't accept the key here | 08:25 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: in ubuntu hardware it should ask if you whant to use them | 08:25 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: System -> Admin -> hardware drivers ? | 08:26 |
| gogeta | Spad-XIII: yes | 08:26 |

| Shazburg | ysis: But don't make a habit of using it too many times or you'll end up with a $PATH the length of the Amazon. | 08:31 |
| iamslango | so, I accidentally deleted my /etc/apache2 directory | 08:31 |

| ysis | Shazburg, thanks! I vaguely remembered something like this but wasn't quite sure... | 08:33 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta: it seems like it just doesn't want to connect at all | 08:33 |
| echosystm | is it just me or does ubuntu boot incredibly slow in comparison to xp? | 08:34 |
| Shazburg | grawity: True. But that's not the default, and I'm just making sure ysis is aware of the possibility. | 08:34 |
| echosystm | in general everything seems slower :/ | 08:34 |
| Reid | do you have to use 64 bit ubuntu if ur processor is such? | 08:34 |
| echosystm | no Reid | 08:34 |
| Reid | ty | 08:34 |
| grawity | Reid: 64-bit processors work just fine with 32-bit OSes. | 08:34 |

| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: you might only support short keys if it did not error | 08:40 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta1: it didn't give an error | 08:40 |
| Shazburg | I don't think so. I just did the samething not more than a few days ago. Let me check something. | 08:40 |
| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: ok you need to use a short key | 08:40 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta1: it doesn't have the essid though .. | 08:41 |
| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: i didnt set one | 08:41 |

| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: that was just a test | 08:41 |
| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: you need to make a short 10 digit key | 08:42 |
| Spad-XIII | gogeta1: what do you mean with "short keys" ? | 08:42 |

| Spad-XIII | gogeta1: and again the dhclient ? | 08:47 |

| Shazburg | Okay. Well, this could be fun. | 08:50 |
| Keranu | In the Ubuntu installation, I tried installing Grub to a 2gb SD card | 08:50 |
| Keranu | When I tried booting Grub from that, it said "GRUB Hard Disk Error" | 08:50 |
| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: the ubuntu one should work to just go in network settings and delete the auto connect | 08:50 |
| Shazburg | Reid: Here is the subversion package for Jaunty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/subversion | 08:50 |
| Reid | ty | 08:50 |
| Keranu | After booting the Ubuntu Live CD, I checked the SD card and no files were on it | 08:50 |
| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: so it loses the old locking up key | 08:50 |
| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: then try reconnecting | 08:51 |
| Keranu | Is there a way I Can install Grub without the Ubuntu installer? It seems Ubuntu installed on the partition I wanted and everything, I just can't boot it | 08:51 |
| [R] | Keranu: what exactly do you mean you installed it to the sd card? | 08:51 |
| balachmar | Hi, how can I use an openPGP key that I have published through the ubuntu servers on another computer to sign email in thunderbird? | 08:51 |
| gogeta1 | Spad-XIII: it wil restore auto connect once you connect no worrys | 08:51 |
| Shazburg | Reid: To bring the package down, you'll need to satisfy all those dependencies. I'd recommend installing as many as possible off the cd, then downloading the rest. You'll have to match any dependencies for those dependencies yourself. Since you don't have an internet connection on the host you want to install on, you get to do apt's job. | 08:52 |
| Keranu | At the end of the Ubuntu installation when it asks where you want to install Grub, I chose the path to my SD card. (The reason I did this was to try something posted on the forums to help my problem) | 08:52 |
| Shazburg | Reid: Unless... is this host connected to a local network, but is not allowed to access the internet? | 08:52 |
| [R] | Keranu: but you installed ubuntu to your hard drive? | 08:52 |

| Keranu | 1. ) System boots straight into XP | 09:02 |
| [R] | sounds like your not setting up grub right | 09:02 |
| gokhan | that why you install xp after ubuntu | 09:02 |
| Keranu | 2. ) Systems boots GRUB and lists XP, but when trying to boot XP it says something like "Selected Disk Not Available" (Error 21) | 09:02 |
| Keranu | Or 3. ) When my BIOS boots, it says "GRUB Hard Disk Error" | 09:03 |
| Keranu | I've tried installing XP after Ubuntu too | 09:03 |
| [R] | installing xp after ubuntu is only going to wipe grub | 09:03 |
| Keranu | As my computer is now, I'm stuck with problem 1.) | 09:03 |
| Keranu | But I can see my installed Ubuntu partition and files | 09:03 |
| [R] | saying it says "something like" tells us nothing | 09:03 |

| [R] | Phonon: you selected it in the settings? | 09:10 |
| Shazburg | error404notfound: Well, I don't know about the demo, but I think you want this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ia32-sun-java6-bin | 09:11 |
| Shazburg | error404notfound: It's in multiverse, so you just need to add that to your sources. | 09:11 |

| surfing | Why the menu lost the setting ,place icon? | 09:25 |
| topher_ | Do those cost money, Shaz? | 09:25 |
| grawity | ojdanke: On Freenode, the "generic" chat channel is #defocus. (Usually one would use /list to see all channels in the network - but since this network is so big, that command could easily flood you off IRC for a while, so I really would not recommend using it.) | 09:26 |
| billy | ojdanke go out in public and do that or get on myspace and add random people ha | 09:26 |
| grawity | ojdanke: Try /msg alis help | 09:26 |

| Shazburg | topher_: Yes. | 09:26 |
| billy | anyway brb | 09:26 |

| neo_ | i m not getting views or answers on this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1212784 | 09:28 |
| Shazburg | thomson: Partitioning this way made more sense when you ran the risk of /var overtaking your 700MB hard disk. Unless you have a very small hard disk (under 20 gigs) or you're spreading partitions across multiple hard disks, go with the "/" and "swap" partitioning and move on. | 09:28 |
| Frogzoo | ubuntu's installer should partition /home separately... | 09:29 |

| billy | whats the difference between recordmydesktop and gtk-recordmydesktop | 09:31 |
| Shazburg | epic: You'll find it under Shiretoko once it's installed. This is because the branding for the package hasn't been updated since 3.5 was in development. I'm using 3.5 and everything is A-OK. | 09:32 |

| neo_ | Shazbug: most of the times it was apt. I have installed some packages with pip. Then some manually. | 09:41 |
| Shazburg | neo_: My two cents: if you've got real time/money tied up in your setup, I'd weigh that against the pros of upgrading to Jaunty. No one is really going to guarantee your setup won't break, but I have had clean upgrades with Ubuntu when I expected destruction. | 09:41 |

| minimec | gamla_kossan: ... no longer supported. It is recommended to upgrade to the current version of Ubuntu. | 09:42 |

| topher_ | I have my laptop hooked up to my TV via HDMI cable. How can I get the sound to come out on my TV rather then my laptop? | 09:54 |
| delicowa | notice billy make sure you use totem and that you don't have broken dependencies | 09:55 |
| thomson | Shazburg: i'll try, lol | 09:56 |
| minimec | sirninja: So you have one harddisk with different partitions on it? | 09:56 |
| mzz | mmm, apt-proxy seems a bit stuck: apt-get update is taking *really* long "Waiting for headers" while apt-proxy's log is slowly getting entries added. Did I break it somehow or is this a bug? | 09:57 |
| Shazburg | topher_: You'll need to run an audio cable. | 09:57 |
| sirninja | minimec: yes | 09:57 |
| mzz | topher_: I don't know about hdmi, but with most other formats you have to run audio separately | 09:57 |
| sirninja | the last thing it says before that error is: "Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p (hd0,6)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed" | 09:58 |
| minimec | sirninja: What did find /boot/grub/stage1 return? Something like 'hd.0.1' ? | 09:58 |
| billy | totem? | 09:58 |
| mzz | sirninja: did you change your partition layout? "geometry (hd0)" might be interesting. | 09:59 |
| sirninja | it returned (hd0,6) | 09:59 |
| sirninja | oh... I'm booting off a usb, that could register as hd0 couldn't it? | 09:59 |
| minimec | sirninja: ok. No. I don't think so. Your stick shouldn't be recognized as 'hd' | 10:00 |
| delicowa | well if you use ati try installing all the ati drivers because it is propriery | 10:00 |

| topher_ | Huh, it works on Vista without the audio cable.. | 10:01 |
| topher_ | I thought HDMI had audio in it? | 10:01 |

| delicowa | */notice billy try this command make sure mplayer is installed | 10:02 |
| sirninja | correct. I only get an error after setup (hd0) | 10:02 |
| DerKlempner | topher: the HDMI interface is audio and video, but Ii've never heard of the audio portion working properly in linux | 10:03 |
| DerKlempner | topher: what kind of video card do you have? | 10:04 |
| Shazburg | topher_: http://www.google.com/search?q=hdmi+ubuntu | 10:04 |
| aurilliance | My pc has 4 partitions: (1) a small vista o/s partition (ntfs), (2) a large storage partition (ntfs), (3) a ubuntu partition (ext2 or whatever it is) and (4) a swap partition. From ubuntu I can see and mount partition (1), but cannot see partition (2). Any reason why? | 10:04 |
| topher_ | ATI HD2600 | 10:05 |
| minimec | sirninja: OK. I searched the Internet for your problem. Looks that your MBR is fucked up after the Windows install. You need the WIndows Install disk and reinstall a working win MBR. Afterwards you can load the Live DIsk (or stick) again and restore grub. google for 'grub error 22' | 10:05 |
| mzz | minimec: hrm? installing grub in the mbr *should* still work, I'm pretty sure | 10:06 |
| sirninja | ok. thanks. I'll be back later if that doesn't work. :P | 10:06 |
| minimec | mzz: So how to get rid of the error, if he cannot install it in the MBR with setup (hd0) ? | 10:07 |
| DerKlempner | topher: i think AI released multiple drivers for linux, depending on the card you have. you may want to double-check their site to see if you have the correct driver, but i'm not familiar with their audio support over HDMI in linux | 10:07 |
| DerKlempner | i'm quite sure NVidia's audio over HDMI is not supported, though | 10:08 |
| mzz | minimec: 22 is "No such partition" which is pretty weird if "find" found a file on it. I've seen grub get a bit weird if for some reason the drive is not in lba mode and the partition's near the end of the drive, but I wouldn't expect error 22 for that. | 10:09 |
| mzz | minimec: I still don't see what the mbr has to do with this though. "setup (hd0)" overwrites the mbr, it shouldn't read it. | 10:09 |
| ufo | hello , i think its better if ubuntu 9.04 use thunderbird and not evolution... much better actually :) | 10:10 |
| AD7six | hi trying to install ubuntu using the 9.04 live cd - even if I select safe graphics mode and/or choose acpi=off, no apci, no lapic, edd=on, I arrive at either a corrupt display or a blinking cursor | 10:10 |
| mzz | !best > ufo | 10:10 |
| ubottu | ufo, please see my private message | 10:10 |
| AD7six | what can I do to further investigate the reason | 10:10 |
| mzz | ufo: imnsho: meh, just uninstall evo and install thunderbird if you disagree with the default. | 10:10 |
| bazhang | AD7six, md5 the iso yet? burn at low speed and do the disk integrity check? | 10:11 |
| billy | delicowa what command | 10:11 |
| ufo | sure never mind | 10:11 |
| bazhang | AD7six, if you have done all those, then either explore more !bootoptions , or try the alternate installer cd | 10:11 |
| mzz | AD7six: iirc "safe graphic mode" is still graphical. You could try a text-based install instead. But yeah, definitely do that disc integrity check first. | 10:11 |
| Shazburg | Guess ufo really hates Evolution. | 10:13 |
| minimec | mzz: Yeah... It is really unusual to have a '/' Partition at (hd0,6) in my eyes. Well'sirninja' has gone now, but what would be your suggestion? | 10:13 |
| AD7six | bazhang: mzz thanks for the hints will check the cd and use the alternate if there's nothing obvious | 10:16 |
| bazhang | AD7six, dont forget to md5 the iso as well, could be a corrupt iso | 10:16 |
| bazhang | !md5 | 10:16 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 10:16 |
| AD7six | "Check finished: errors found in 1 files" guess that answers that | 10:17 |
| AD7six | I didn't think check disk refered to the cd :D | 10:18 |

| Slart | neil1: have you installed the virtual box addons thingy? | 10:29 |
| Shazburg | neil1: You likely have a combination of factors. Just taking a blind stab at it, I'd say the driver VirtualBox is suppling is being picked up during install with a generic driver that may or may not be able to support a higher rez. | 10:29 |
| Slart | neil1: I think there should even be a menu option in the vm to mount the addons cd | 10:29 |

| justanothercoder | Shazburg : here is my situation. i have two physical ports, eth0 and eth1 , eth0 gets a DHCP from my router, this router basically has my entire LAN on it. the router also has a wan connection. eth1 is my backup internet connection, i've created a virtual interface called eth0:1 and gave it an ip 192.168.1.99 . in case my primary internet connection goes down,people in my network can switch to proxy server 192.168.1.99 and be able to access the i | 10:31 |

| minimec | h0dges: What do you mean by disable? have you ever 'enabled' it. 'evdev' is the event device driver used for special hardware, but normally you have to mention the evdev driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if you want to use it. | 10:38 |

| Shazburg | justanothercoder: I'm still thinking this through, so bear with me for a moment. As I drew this out, it reminded me of when I was with a small ISP and a customer had a similar setup, and it hurt us. | 10:39 |
| gartral | leaf-sheep: in english that breaks down the diff, writing it too a file, and then passing the written ffile to pastebin | 10:40 |
| h0dges | my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/55140 | 10:40 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: So eth0 is connected to your switch. Your switch is connected to your primary router, no? | 10:40 |
| justanothercoder | yes | 10:40 |

| mzz | sirninja: that's pretty weird. You're in ubuntu, right? I wonder if it somehow ended up with a completely confused "maps" file | 10:42 |
| minimec | h0dges: Ok. As far as I see, you don't use the evdev driver for any device. Look at my xorg.conf. There you see that I use the evdev driver for Mouse1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/217734/ | 10:43 |
| justanothercoder | Shazburg : eth1 is directly connected to the backup ISP's cable modem. it gets a dhcp address. eth0 is connected to a switch, switch connects to my main ISP's cable modem | 10:43 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: Got it. | 10:43 |

| Shazburg | justanothercoder: The picture is much clearer. | 10:48 |
| waleed | i want LFS IRC chat | 10:48 |
| mzz | sirninja: it should be listing /dev/sda1 as windows, /dev/sda2 (I think) as extended, /dev/sda3 as swap, /dev/sda5 (I think) and /dev/sda6 as linux. Is that correct? | 10:48 |

| Mike94287 | How can I set keyboard commands to launch a program? | 10:49 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: Well... if you want to have redundancy with your internet connection and/or load balancing between the connections, you have to have a router in one form or another. | 10:49 |
| mzz | gharz: could be hardware, could be a filesystem issue. Is this a fat or fat32 partition, and does it work in a different system or os? | 10:49 |

| justanothercoder | Shazburg : ok, let me try to mess with this a bit | 10:50 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: If you can't convince the suits to get something like a Cisco 1800, and your server load is light enough, you can use your server to do this. | 10:50 |
| mzz | gharz: try "dosfsck" (umount the partition first!) | 10:51 |
| justanothercoder | Shazburg : i have just five computers on my LAN | 10:51 |
| gharz | mzz: thanks | 10:51 |
| om26er1 | is there any single audio player | 10:51 |
| eeejza | how can I know if the partition is bootable or not from a mounted disk? | 10:51 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: Then a third NIC seems a more reasonable price. | 10:51 |
| justanothercoder | Shazburg: and its not really mission critical. we're a small web dev agency, internet outages are just inconvenient | 10:51 |
| dstaubsauger | om26er1: what do you mean by "single audio player"? | 10:51 |
| sirninja | mzz: is that what is causing it? | 10:52 |
| cast | eeejza: what's bootable depends on your bootloader surely | 10:52 |
| mzz | sirninja: any idea how that might've happened? And are you supposed to have two linux partitions? | 10:52 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: I suppose they would be for you. | 10:52 |
| mzz | sirninja: I don't know if that's causing it but it's definitely not sane | 10:52 |
| sirninja | mzz: i have my home on a separate partition | 10:52 |
| eeejza | cast, well I usually asign a boot flag during the partitioning of a disk. | 10:52 |
| om26er1 | dstaubsauger: only audio player not a video player | 10:52 |
| cge | dstaubsauger: You horrible person! I've been able to ignore that for years, and now I'm going to have to figure out how to do it. | 10:52 |
| sirninja | mzz: and I have no idea how that happened. I've done a lot of distro hopping lately, so I guess it happened during one of the installs | 10:52 |
| mzz | sirninja: fortunately none of the "actual" partitions overlap. | 10:52 |

| h0dges | minimec: the problem is that it isn't being controlled by the driver it should be. my only evidence for this is that it's acting like a trackpad and that's not it's normal behaviour. is there any other way i can figure out what's controlling this device? like logs or something? | 10:54 |
| cge | dstaubsauger: I think you just need to load the right driver, though, and that should create a new audio device. | 10:54 |

| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 10:54 |
| dstaubsauger | ok | 10:54 |
| sirninja | mzz: so should I delete that and then retry installing grub? | 10:54 |
| === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe | ||
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: Well, if you want to use your server as a proxy to keep connected to the web, you need three nics. If you want to have your server act as a router and balance the two connections (which is one way to get redundancy), then you need three NICs. | 10:54 |
| gharz | mzz: if i umount it... how do i dosfsck an unmounted device? | 10:54 |
| gharz | :) | 10:54 |
| gharz | :( | 10:54 |
| mzz | sirninja: your grub partition numbers are also off by one compared to the ones in the manual. I'd expect it to want (hd0,4), not (hd0,5). I don't know what's up with that. What does (hd0,<Tab> give you? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | 10:55 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 10:55 |
| mzz | gharz: dosfsck /dev/insertdevicenamehere | 10:55 |
| Mike94287 | How can I set a keyboard command to open a program | 10:55 |
| dstaubsauger | cge: do you know the name of the module? | 10:55 |
| mzz | ActionParsnip: this is a card reader or something, no need to reboot | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | Mike94287 | 10:55 |
| ubottu | Mike94287: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 10:55 |
| cge | dstaubsauger: I'm looking | 10:55 |
| dstaubsauger | ok, me too | 10:55 |
| justanothercoder | Shazburg : i don't need redundancy, just a fallback, if the primary goes down. i can even write a script that i can manually run everytime the main connection goes down | 10:55 |
| minimec | h0dges: Hold on a moment... | 10:56 |
| justanothercoder | or change the settings on the server to use the backup connection as the gateway | 10:56 |
| justanothercoder | even that would work | 10:56 |
| sirninja | mzz: So in grub sda6, would be hd0,5? | 10:56 |
| Mike94287 | Thanks ActionParsnip | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | justanothercoder: you could even script a ping via a certai interface, ifit fails, switch the route ;) | 10:56 |
| mzz | sirninja: yeah, they're normally one less than the number you see in linx | 10:56 |
| mzz | linux, even | 10:56 |
| justanothercoder | ActionParsnip : neat :D | 10:56 |
| sirninja | mzz: so when grub was saying it was finding it on hd0,6, but fdisk only shows sda going up to 6 is there something up with that? | 10:57 |
| mzz | sirninja: yeah, I don't understand that. Grub running inside linux has quirks though... | 10:57 |
| gharz | mzz: it says Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 6. what does this mean? | 10:57 |
| mzz | sirninja: or it's possible your grub differs from the one I'm reading the manual of | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: gru starts disk numbers at 0, partition numbers start at 1 | 10:58 |
| mzz | gharz: what are you running it on exactly? | 10:58 |
| mzz | gharz: if the card has a partition make sure you run it on that, not on the raw device | 10:58 |
| mzz | gharz: (so run it on /dev/sdg1, not /dev/sdg) | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: so i'd say so as partition 6 is sda7 (for example) | 10:58 |
| gharz | i have a usb flash disk and i want to check its filesystem (a command similar to chkdsk).... | 10:58 |
| mzz | gharz: (replace sdg with your actual card) | 10:58 |
| gharz | mzz: it doesn't have partition... | 10:58 |
| gharz | it's a 2gb usb flash disk | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: the extrended partition is one though, so that makes sense | 10:59 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: ActionParsnip is right. It's an easy enough thing to do (round robin). As a netadmin though, I think this configuration makes things more complicated than they need to be. | 10:59 |
| mzz | gharz: that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have one large partition. Does /dev/sd<whatever>1 exist? | 10:59 |
| gharz | ok | 10:59 |
| gharz | mzz | 10:59 |
| gharz | ok. | 10:59 |

| ActionParsnip | gharz: it does, you cant access disks, the flash device has a single partition taking 100% of the device | 10:59 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: Course, the proper alternative has it's own complications. | 11:00 |
| mzz | nperry: I don't know about a terminal command, but you can click the red button in the top right. | 11:00 |
| sirninja | how would I delete sda3 from the command line? | 11:00 |
| mzz | nperry: (on the panel) | 11:00 |
| mzz | sirninja: use fdisk if gparted won't work | 11:00 |
| gharz | ok | 11:00 |
| dstaubsauger | cge: do i need to compile that myself? | 11:00 |
| gharz | let me check | 11:00 |
| cge | dstaubsauger: I'm not sure. I'm not running Ubuntu right now. | 11:00 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: Regardless, whatever you do, don't plug those two cable modems into the same switch. It's like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters. | 11:00 |
| dstaubsauger | cge: ok | 11:00 |
| sirninja | mzz: what would be the arguments? I really don't want to mess this up | 11:00 |
| cge | dstaubsauger: It's mainline, but it's a bit esoteric. | 11:00 |
| dstaubsauger | yeah | 11:00 |
| justanothercoder | shazburg : won't :) | 11:01 |
| mzz | sirninja: first check if swap is in use, actually. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | gharz: its a thing that windows does,if you split a drive into 2 partitions. it will see a C "drive" and a D "drive" when infact there is only one drive, the "drives" are partitions | 11:01 |
| _kelahi | do you know game x-moto? | 11:01 |
| sirninja | mzz: it's all not using any memory, but it shows available under the free command. is that good enough? | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | gharz: even if you only have C drive, its a disk with 1 partition taking 100% of the disk | 11:01 |
| mzz | sirninja: might need to do "sudo swapoff -a" first, just in case. Then "fdisk /dev/sda", "d", "3", "w", I *think* (I don't want to actually delete any partitions here right now, sorry :) | 11:01 |
| mzz | sirninja: just running "swapoff -a" won't hurt. | 11:02 |
| gharz | mzz: this is the result.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/217757/ ... i'm just wondering why does churvalooh, THEME and other folders doesn't appear on nautilus and cannot be deleted? | 11:02 |
| nperry | mzz, I know that. I'm currently making the change over to openbox and building my own menu! | 11:02 |

| cge | That's a good sign. | 11:03 |
| mzz | gharz: might want to move some stuff out of the root directory into subfolders (assuming it lets you) | 11:03 |
| cge | dstaubsauger: That should create a new audio device. | 11:04 |
| mzz | gharz: I don't know how unhappy nautilus gets if the root directory is full if it tries to use a trash can there. | 11:04 |
| Shazburg | justanothercoder: That works. Good luck to you. And I'm still gonna say squid is your safest bet, even if it might be a little chubby for your needs. | 11:04 |
| justanothercoder | justanothercoder : thanks | 11:04 |
| sirninja | mzz: nevermind. I tried reinstalling grub, and it appeared to work. thank you SO much! Now I can get out of windows again. :P | 11:04 |
| gharz | mzz: can't access THEME, churvalooh and twilight... it says access error from terminal | 11:04 |
| mzz | sirninja: huh, you shouldn't normally get that. If you do I'd reboot (better safe than sorry) | 11:04 |
| dstaubsauger | cge: there's no /dev/dsp or /dev/snd | 11:04 |
| gharz | mzz: this folders do not appear on nautilus | 11:05 |
| mzz | sirninja: oh, don't forget to create a new swap partition. I'm assuming gparted will work again post-reboot. | 11:05 |
| cge | dstaubsauger: strange | 11:05 |
| sirninja | mzz: hopefully. :P | 11:05 |
| Ryan4 | Hello Fellas, having problems with my sound. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (mp3's, vids, etc...). Login sounds works though... Could be because I installed Ubuntu in Windows, and somehow the sound setting is coming through?? | 11:05 |

| mzz | gharz: dosfsck complains about them too. I'm assuming corruption, either of the filesystem or the hardware kind. | 11:05 |

| diddy | ActionParsnip, can't see why or can't see why not? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | diddy: should be fine to implement. torrents restrict file access to the files you are seeding | 11:27 |
| laeg | can anyone tell me the difference in Gufw between allowing a port and limiting it? (the other two options are deny and block) i've googled and can't find the answer | 11:27 |
| Slart | diddy: as a general rule apps shouldn't have more permissions than they need.. but there is also a balance of time spent of configuring stuff vs chances of something bad happening | 11:28 |

| ActionParsnip | diddy: there are bugs in all torrent clients, even in mac, even in windows | 11:28 |

| dstaubsauger | :P | 11:29 |

| diddy | ActionParsnip, On Ubuntu there is no root. We do admin tasks with sudo, so how big is the risk there? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | diddy: then it needs to not be in the sudoers group, the admin group gives you sudo capability | 11:37 |
| daglees | sudo su | 11:37 |

| echosystm | Slart: is there some repo that has 3.5 in it? | 11:39 |

| slava_dp | UbuntuUser, better use ext2, you don't want journal on a usb flash drive. | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuUser: i'd format it ext2, it will last longer. the data will be destroyed if you format it to any file system | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | diddy: it will need to know the users password to then use sudo commands | 11:40 |
| Slart | laeg: I have no idea really... it would be useful to limit a port used for ssh, I guess... I would start out limiting and if things stop working change things | 11:40 |

| kaini | minimec, hm no same result | 11:42 |
| Slart | laeg: nice article about limiting http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/187 | 11:42 |
| kaini | It is strange that claws mail can read more mails than thunderbird | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: sudo cp ~/Desktop/php_browscap.ini /etc/php5/apache2/extra | 11:42 |
| slava_dp | ActionParsnip, well i know there are tools. are you going to be carrying them with you on a floppy disk if you want to use your usb drive in an internet cafe? | 11:43 |
| UbuntuUser | how about installing it? shoul i use regular installation or pd-type? | 11:43 |
| minimec | kaini: sorry then I don't know then, what to do... | 11:43 |
| UbuntuUser | shoul=should, sorry | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | slava_dp: it is possible is all i'm saying | 11:43 |
| kaini | Thanks anyway | 11:43 |
| generic | does ubuntu respect xorg.conf 's | 11:43 |
| Slart | generic: yes | 11:44 |
| UbuntuUser | pd-type i mean by usb creator included in ubuntu | 11:44 |
| generic | will it look at first then use hal on the rest of the stuff? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | diddy: if the user is not able to use sudo then the only data it can change is what is in its home directory, it may read other data if permissions have been granted on the files, otherwise it will be very limited | 11:44 |
| Slart | generic: it's just empty by default.. you can add settings and stuff to it though | 11:44 |
| generic | Slart: good! | 11:44 |
| prospire | and how do I rename php_browscap.ini to browscap.ini? | 11:44 |
| haptiK | prospire: mv | 11:44 |
| prospire | mv?? | 11:44 |
| prospire | can u tell me the whole command please | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: mv php_browscap.ini browscap.ini | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: mv is used to rename, as youmove it to the same location as another name | 11:45 |
| prospire | ActionParsnip: php_browscap.ini is in /ets/php5/apache2/extra | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: you should websearch terminal commands of that level rather than ask in here | 11:45 |
| laeg | Slart: ty once more :) | 11:46 |
| prospire | so will the command be mv php_/ets/php5/apache2/extrabrowscap.ini /ets/php5/apache2/extrabrowscap.ini | 11:46 |
| prospire | ? | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: then add the path | 11:46 |
| prospire | /ets/php5/apache2/extra/php_browscap.ini /ets/php5/apache2/extra/browscap.ini | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: yes, exactly | 11:46 |
| prospire | ok | 11:46 |
| Ali_nz | how you monitor resources like cpu usage and physcial memory in ubunutu? | 11:46 |
| mzz | minimec: (much delayed reply, but still...) might want to check your Xorg.0.log for "AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' | 11:46 |
| mzz | will be disabled | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: top | 11:46 |

| leohartx | how do i get routing table using ubuntu ? | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | leohartx: route | 11:47 |
| th0r | leohartx: type 'route' | 11:47 |
| ecolitan | Ali_nz: try top | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | nice and easy questions today :) | 11:47 |
| prospire | ActionParsnip: my Konsole shows an error | 11:47 |
| prospire | mv: cannot move `/etc/php5/apache2/extra/php_browscap.ini' to `/etc/php5/apache2/extra/browscap.ini': Permission denied | 11:47 |
| Ali_nz | getting gkrellm now | 11:48 |
| Ali_nz | thanks | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: use tab to autocomplete the folder and file names | 11:48 |
| UbuntuUser | ActionParsnip: have you installed ubuntu on your pd using regular install or usb creator included in ubuntu? | 11:48 |
| Ali_nz | might look at top too | 11:48 |
| leohartx | well, ty ,but result seem identical to netstat -r | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: you will need sudo as well, users do not have write access to /etc | 11:48 |
| Ali_nz | I doing a ddrescue and as it goes on it seems to make the system slower and slower!!! got to see why | 11:48 |
| minimec | mzz: Well I don't care about the kbd driver for example. But it surely uses the evdev driver, when I want a device to use it. | 11:48 |
| th0r | leohartx: route -n | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: it fills up the other partition with the image of the partition you are dd_resueing | 11:49 |
| ecolitan | prospire: sudo in front | 11:49 |
| leohartx | th0r : btw, how do i read content from file which is printed out by tcpdump ? | 11:49 |
| th0r | leohartx: less | 11:49 |
| leohartx | th0r : i mean "decode" or decrypt | 11:49 |
| prospire | ActionParsnip: thx.... ecolitan: thx | 11:50 |
| leohartx | th0r : it says : it's a binary file | 11:50 |
| leohartx | th0r : i'd tried to open it using vi | 11:50 |
| th0r | leohartx: wireshark | 11:51 |
| leohartx | th0r : but i cant read it | 11:51 |
| laeg | Slart: "An example is probably the simplest way to illustrate how it works. The following two rules will limit incoming connections to port 22 to no more than 3 attemps in a minute - an more than that will be dropped:" ok so it limites the number of connections, but what if i can't connect because someone else is bruteforcing it? | 11:51 |
| diddy | Does anybody know where the Firefox profile is located on Ubuntu? | 11:51 |
| leohartx | th0r : is there any way to work out it by using tcpdump and options ??? | 11:51 |
| mzz | diddy: depends! which version of firefox/ | 11:51 |
| Ali_nz | anyone here ever used ddrescue much? | 11:52 |
| th0r | leohartx: don't know...I use wireshark | 11:52 |
| petx | diddy, /etc/firefox/profile | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: a little | 11:52 |
| th0r | leohartx: you might check the man page | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: pair it with foremost and you have a data recovery team :D | 11:52 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: remember what sorta data recovery rate you get? | 11:52 |
| leohartx | th0r : i'll check it, ty | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: i use ata66 drives so its dead slow, you probably use sata which is much faster | 11:53 |
| zen_ | #bi-sexual | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: just make sure you use 2 drives on seperate controllers and it will go fine | 11:53 |
| zen_ | exit | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: it will take as long as the drive is large | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | zen_: try /quit or /exit | 11:54 |
| zen_ | ty | 11:54 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: seperate controllers? | 11:55 |
| Ali_nz | why | 11:55 |
| UbuntuUser | anyone know some cool application that can create iso whit everything what i have installed? i mean something like norton ghost | 11:55 |
| th0r | UbuntuUser: aptoncd | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: then the data flows down one controller and up the other, if the data has to go back up the same controller it will be slower | 11:56 |
| UbuntuUser | is best if it will be gui-type application | 11:56 |
| UbuntuUser | th0r: have it gui? | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | !clone | 11:56 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 11:56 |

| th0r | UbuntuUser: don't know...haven't used it | 11:56 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: ok - slow I can handle as long as it doesnt crash again | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuUser: may apps dont have a gui, you should not shy away from command line, its where the power lives | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: you could set the process a lower nice value, like -5 and it ill run better as it gets more cpu time | 11:58 |
| th0r | UbuntuUser: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=aptoncd&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10&fp=KxYPMM6r3XA | 11:58 |
| UbuntuUser | and how about file premissions when i`ll use i.e aptoncd? | 11:58 |
| Ali_nz | hmmm, I think I only got 512meg of ram | 11:58 |
| Ali_nz | and its using most of it | 11:58 |
| Ali_nz | the linux box is doing nothing else but running ddrescue | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuUser: what about them, they are only deb files for updating and transfering deb files from system to system | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: then you are in the same boat as me for most things that take time..let it run (i do mine overnight) | 11:59 |
| th0r | UbuntuUser: you will need root permissions to install the files | 11:59 |
| prospire | can anybody tell me how do I restart apache?? | 11:59 |
| === erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL | ||
| ubunoob | ActionParsnip, i tried to reinstall nvidia drivers as you told me earlier, now its completely broken, ubuntu starts in text mode only | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: sudo /etc/init/d/apache restart possibly | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | prospire: use tab to complete the apache word, it may be apache2 | 12:00 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: reading about foremost - looks wicked | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: no need for it if you have a backup | 12:01 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | can I get a package from the synaptic and download it only , so I can move it to a thumb drive and install it to another pc? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ubunoob: then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:01 |
| moncky | ActionParsnip: /etc/init.d.... | 12:01 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: I do, but my friends clearly dont ;-) | 12:01 |
| UbuntuUser | everythin seems me not good at all. how about scripts, settings, configs and antother stuff? i`d like to move entire ubuntu installation, not only packages contained in system | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ubunoob: don't use frame buffer, then when you are back at the prompt run: startx | 12:01 |
| ubunoob | ActionParsnip, it sais xserver-xorg broken or not full yinstalled | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | moncky: bah, yeah you're right | 12:02 |
| th0r | L3dPlatedLinux: you might try getdeb.net | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: thats where you can make a killing. I have a system specifically for data restores, nice little earner | 12:02 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: I just need to get ddrescue running reliably. I was using a USB-SATA adapter, but that didnt work very well. Now I got a cheap SATA/IDE controller card for the job. seems better so far, but the linux box did seem to crash once....grrrrrr | 12:02 |
| === Bhavic1 is now known as Bhavic | ||
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: all drives have ide ;) | 12:03 |
| deany | L3dPlatedLinux, check for dependencies if you do download just the deb | 12:03 |
| Ali_nz | ok SATA/PATA | 12:03 |
| sidewalk | does anyone use blueman to setup network(s)? | 12:03 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: what do you use for data recovery? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: nice | 12:03 |
| C-S-B | sidewalk: yess, only way to get 3g working easily of my phone | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: for my friends, dd_rescure if the drive is shot, then foremost, or just foremost | 12:03 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: PATA is onboard mobo, and sata on the card. its a old PC, P4 I think but it dont need to be flashy for DR | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: for myself, i have backups running to a firewire drive every 6 hours so i just restore | 12:04 |
| phaidros | re | 12:04 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: at my work we had a device that bypassed the hdd control board and interfaced directly with the drive. | 12:04 |
| phaidros | there was once a script to move an alternate iso image to an usb stick, which from one could boot. any hints? | 12:04 |
| === becca is now known as tsaotsao | ||
| Ali_nz | C-S-B: PC3000 it could be | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: my dr system is a p2 333 | 12:05 |
| Ali_nz | or some software can do that too, like MHDD | 12:05 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: wow! | 12:05 |
| eeejza | hi any suggestion how can I fix this, GRUB keeps telling me Error 2 which is that the selected disk doesn't exist however I mount it using a livecd and was able to mount it myself | 12:05 |
| C-S-B | phaidros: try unetbooting | 12:05 |
| C-S-B | *unetbootin | 12:05 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: I just dont want my box to crash again. Being remotely logged into it is nice since I dont need a extra keyboard, mouse or screen, but I wonder if it was VNC that crashed it? | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: all my systems are around that spec, file server is a p3 500, rouuter is same, destop is 1.6ghz semp | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | eeejza | 12:06 |

| === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic | ||
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: possibly, try it at the system and quit vnc to test | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: you can do it via ssh | 12:07 |
| Ali_nz | see the thing that worries me is when I click on anything while ddrescue is running it goes very slow, but CPU utilisation is still low | 12:07 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: without offence meant, you hw seems a bit, well, cack? | 12:07 |
| moncky | Ali_nz: what is your disk I/O like | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: yeah but i chat and web browse so i don't need a quad core with 8gb ram do i? | 12:08 |
| Ali_nz | 58k? | 12:08 |
| phaidros | C-S-B: not what I looked for, but might worth a look :) | 12:08 |
| Ali_nz | 63k... | 12:08 |
| LuYu | i asked this question a couple of weeks ago | 12:08 |
| LuYu | but i have to ask it again: | 12:08 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: true, but hw does have a tendancy to die at that age | 12:08 |
| UbuntuUser | i have my digg results. aplication exactly wat i need is called Remastersys | 12:08 |
| Ali_nz | sitting around 58k i think | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: my hardware is free, OS is free, lots spare money to go on holiday and see the world instead of sat infront of a screen | 12:08 |
| phaidros | C-S-B: sry, exactly what I was looking for :D | 12:09 |
| thebe | I wonder why my cpu is consumed 65% above by Virtual Box and 45% up by firefox???? | 12:09 |
| phaidros | and the other one was: | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: true but then i'll have been given / have salvaged some new stuff | 12:09 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: point made. :) | 12:09 |
| Ali_nz | moncky: make sense? | 12:09 |
| phaidros | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 12:09 |
| LuYu | what can be done to make sure that ubuntu systems can connect to arbitrary access points without DNS configs | 12:09 |
| thebe | and I am running ubuntu in Acer aspire 5530! | 12:09 |
| moncky | Ali_nz: what does your disks do? | 12:09 |
| Ali_nz | moncky: in what way? | 12:09 |
| C-S-B | phaidros: np, trust me, you'll never look back once you have unetbootin -its awesome! | 12:09 |
| LuYu | it seems that windows users have no problems with these sorts of APs | 12:09 |
| moncky | Ali_nz: it may be going slow due to I/O of the HDD as oppoesed to memory and cpu | 12:10 |
| LuYu | but ubuntu often cannot connect to the net through them | 12:10 |
| sidewalk | !blueman | 12:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about blueman | 12:10 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | deany, ok was looking for gnome network manager and its not there. Ok this is what happened my wife was on her lappy and wanted a wifi radar like app and she went to install kwlan and it removed the gnome one in the install process and she couldnt figure out kwlan and well I couldnt either but with out the gnome network manager there was no net at all wired or wifi so I tried to get it from the dvd rom as a install point and nothing so what I was w | 12:10 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | ondering was could I have d/l ed it with this synaptic and went to where the packages are stored and copied to a thumb drive and then in stalled it that way on the other pc? | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: you are right though. it is cack ;) | 12:10 |
| Ali_nz | yeah well I am running ddrescue, but not to/from the boot drive | 12:10 |
| moncky | Ali_nz: remeber your system is only as fast as its slowest part, which is likely your HDD | 12:10 |
| moncky | Ali_nz: seperate physical disks? | 12:10 |
| Ali_nz | yes | 12:10 |
| LuYu | i have already tried the solutions given to me the last time, and they didnt work | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | L3dPlatedLinux: you can add your install CD as a repo and install it from that | 12:11 |
| diddy | petx, mzz Thx I have found it. | 12:11 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: I say it as though my hw is cutting edge but my server is a p4 with 512 ram and I'm running a atom core at the moment | 12:11 |
| C-S-B | :P | 12:11 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | ActionParsnip, I tried that by checking the cd rom disk in the soruces list and still i got nothing | 12:11 |
| moncky | Ali_nz: sorry, was just a hunch that it was I/O | 12:11 |
| LuYu | these solutions included using distributed DNSes | 12:11 |
| Ali_nz | moncky: np | 12:12 |
| LuYu | making the resolv.conf file immutablle | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | L3dPlatedLinux: then you can use command line to configure the wired connection to get online and install the packages | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: p4 is a nice chip | 12:12 |
| Ali_nz | ActionParsnip: i am looking at target .bin file and its size doesnt change | 12:13 |
| Ali_nz | is that normla? | 12:13 |
| Ali_nz | normal | 12:13 |
| Ali_nz | shouldnt it be slowly getting bigger? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: it should increase as the process runs. Its possible the data being curently read is very faulty and is being omitted | 12:13 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: but the server is off now :P I'm going to do format it and reset it all up when I'mm back home | 12:14 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | ActionParsnip, okthat might take awhile , with that said where are the synaptic packages stored when it d/l them? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_nz: thats what dd rescue does, bit by bit copy of the data, _rescue just keeps going and ignores uncopyable data which dd will abort on normally | 12:14 |
| Ali_nz | oh well leave it running tonight and see what happens in the morning | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | L3dPlatedLinux: doesnt take any time at all, just kill whatever network app you have and run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo dhclient eth0 | 12:15 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: how well do you find ddrescue works? Looks like an interesting bit of software. | 12:15 |
| C-S-B | ActionParsnip: how dead does the drive have to be before this doesnt work? | 12:16 |
| LuYu | and installing wicd | 12:16 |
| kerimbasol_ | we have a problem about mount command i dont know how to use it for mounting smb ? | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | L3dPlatedLinux: or you can go to the packages site for your release and download individual deb files and transfer, but if there are any dependancys needed you will need those too | 12:16 |

| triplc | Hi all | 12:31 |
| thomson | ok | 12:31 |
| echosystm | thomson all you need to worry about is making sure grub is the bootloader and not the windows one | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: just don't assign the whole disk to windows and have to resize afterwards, it makes no sense, you can keep your data safe if you use less of the disk when you install the windows boot | 12:32 |

| ActionParsnip | aurilliance: then you can mount them using ntfs-3g | 12:38 |
| thomson | so grub will automatically place a /boot partition at the start of the drive? | 12:39 |
| C-S-B | thomson: no, grub can be stored on the / partition | 12:39 |

| UnderSampled | ActionParsnip: I beleive that it has more to do with an incompatible kernel. the second line that is visible on my screen says: WARNING at /build/builddd/linux-2.6.28/kernal/smo.c:333 smo_function_mask+0x1d4/0x1e0() | 13:10 |
| bluegoon | ActionParsnip: thanks for the info mate | 13:11 |
| Ti-dev | ubottu: Thanks, but I wanted to build the kernel for a fix. Anyways I *DID* and now I need to create an initrd image. What's the program on Ubuntu for that? Thanks... | 13:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:11 |
| Ti-dev | ubottu: I mean since, "mkinitrd" is unavailable? | 13:12 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:12 |
| thhp | Ti-dev: you probably need to install initrd-tools | 13:12 |
| Pici | Ti-dev: ubottu cannot answer you, it is a program that responds to requests... like !kernel | 13:12 |

| Pici | UnderSampled: Have you searched bugs.ubuntu.com for that? perhaps this bug has already been logged. | 13:15 |

| ActionParsnip | lantjie: domain <domain name> | 13:39 |
| lantjie | oke thanks guys | 13:40 |
| lantjie | verymuch | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dpreacher: i hd it slow over lan, adding my host name and ip to /etc/hosts sped it up | 13:40 |
| lurah | I think the jme.ko driver falsly initialize the ethernet card, because jme.ko could worked with two kind of chipset i.e jmc260 whic is fast ethernet and jmc260 whic is gigabit ethernet | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dpreacher: of the client system, that is | 13:40 |
| moncky | lantjie: though if you want to ssh to a domain you will also need to point your domain A records to that name aswell | 13:41 |
| thhp | dpreacher: strace could help, or possibly wireshark | 13:41 |
| dpreacher | not just one host ActionParsnip. it happens from all clients. its something to do with the login authentication itself. ssh itself is fast. | 13:41 |
| dpreacher | i could check with strace thhp | 13:41 |
| lurah | I think the jme.ko driver initialize the jmc260 as gigabit ethernet so it could not talk with the other side | 13:41 |
| dpreacher | so are you suggesting me to try strace ssh machine ip? | 13:42 |
| dpreacher | thhp | 13:42 |
| lantjie | moncky: it doesn't work | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dpreacher: was the same here. The service is trying to resolve the name to an ip which it goes through various stages to try, if you add an entry in hosts then the authentication will speed up | 13:42 |
| thhp | dpreacher: yes, see where it hangs, it might give you something more to work on | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | lurah: then rmmod it and modprobe the good one. If its good then blacklist the bad one | 13:42 |

| flasbang73 | how can i make a wubi like install for karmic? | 13:42 |

| dpreacher | name->ip resolution is fast...in fact on lan i use ip itself. | 13:42 |

| ActionParsnip | flasbang73: its made for windows users, all you do is double click it and read the screen | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | wemassag: you just press alt+f2 tpe firefox-3.5 and press enter | 13:44 |
| dpreacher | ActionParsnip. it shows the user login prompt quickly...it even shows the password login prompt quickly...it even shows that ur password is wrong fairly quickly but when its got to get into bash...it waits quite a while | 13:44 |
| kamil_ | I installed this distro 3 times and 3 times the same | 13:44 |

| flasbang73 | ActionParsnip: ya i know that ive used wubi before but i want to install 9.10 with it | 13:44 |

| Lantizia | ActionParsnip, made a script that downloads, configures and installs a windows app but at the end I want it in startup you see... so there is no launcher to symlink | 14:05 |

| flasbang73 | do you reccomend 32-bit or 64-bit 9.04? | 14:06 |
| diddy | jrib, ??? | 14:06 |
| ugliefrog | I keep getting error in firefox. please add flash player to display content. I have flash player. Sometimes it works i.e. loads and sometimes it dont help! :( | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | flasbang73: depends how much ram you have and what the system is for | 14:06 |
| jrib | diddy: read the beginner and advanced bash guides at tldp.org instead. The command you pasted is taken out of context. When you run a script $1 corresponds to the first argument. You should be able to see what it does then | 14:06 |
| Pici | dbrewer_rjr: Looks like there were security problems, see: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dcc | 14:07 |
| diddy | jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1494652 | 14:08 |
| flasbang73 | ActionParsnip: i have 2gb ram and i use my computer for lots of stuff from security testing to just regular games | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | flasbang73: > 4Gb RAM get 64bit. for audio and video encoding systems get 64bit, for bog basic desktop + word processing etc then 32bit is fine | 14:08 |
| jrib | diddy: right. Are you asking what « chown » does? | 14:08 |
| diddy | jrib, no $1.users | 14:09 |
| diddy | jrib, What does username.users do? | 14:09 |
| jrib | diddy: well do you know how to use chown? '.' used to be used instead of ':' | 14:09 |
| flasbang73 | ActionParsnip: so i should get 64-bit or not i know my computer supports it | 14:09 |
| ugliefrog | I keep getting error in firefox. please add flash player to display content. I have flash player. Sometimes it works i.e. loads and sometimes it dont help! :( | 14:09 |
| ducky__ | Please, how on irssi i can see my different channel on irc ? | 14:09 |
| diddy | jrib, you can use a dot? I always use a colon only. OK WOW | 14:09 |
| dbrewer_rjr | Pici: that is dated over a year ago, but it prolly still isn't fixed. thanks. | 14:10 |
| jrib | diddy: '.' is deprecated iirc | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | flasbang73: 32bit will do you fine but 64bit will run equally as well. May as well take advantage of it but both systems will run fine | 14:10 |
| flasbang73 | ActionParsnip: i just know its a pain to get flash player and stuff on it | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | flasbang73: then 32bit is for you, plugins will be easier for you | 14:10 |

| Breaking_Pitt | #freeswmaster | 14:14 |

| Lantizia | nasedo, just confused me as it only saves new items (that arn't saved globally) in there | 14:23 |
| thhp | dpreacher: in case it helps, something like: grep "^open.*= $FD" foo.txt | tail -n1 will show you the last open call in foo.txt which returned $FD | 14:24 |
| topher_ | Coleys: How do I do that? I'm in display settings and do not see that. | 14:24 |
| dpreacher | let me try that | 14:24 |

| firestarter1 | and I need an utility for configuring that | 14:43 |
| bruenig | firestarter1: on other distros, a service is another name for a daemon like hal. I don't know what my_program is. | 14:44 |
| bruenig | is it is daemon, or is it some throwaway autostart command you want the DE to run | 14:44 |
| richardcavell | thomson: No, that's okay, I was confused by your question. | 14:44 |
| firestarter1 | bruenig: my_program is a program. It's not a daemon | 14:44 |
| richardcavell | You can have / and /home on different partitions, for sure | 14:44 |

| ActionParsnip | thomson: if the shared data area is for all users, you don't really need a large home directory at all, you can symlink folders in ~/ to the shared partition | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: this will give you more space in the shared area | 14:47 |

| richardcavell | thomson: If you have a 300 gig hard disk, I think you're skimping on your / (root) partition | 14:49 |

| thomson | k | 14:52 |
| porter1 | Anyone know? I'm not sure why my makefile is not running pkg-config right | 14:53 |
| progre55 | pebo_, oh and I've used the -p option to specify the process ID (lsof -p #process) | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: just make sure that the shared ntfs is user writable and then you can create links to folders on it | 14:53 |
| Blizzerand | Any one ?? | 14:53 |
| richardcavell | thomson: And by the way, are you running any software like VirtualBox or 3D modelling, etc? | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: you'll need about a 10Gb home folder if you do as all the data for both OSes will be on one partition, also makes backups easier as you can backup the command partition and the small home partition | 14:54 |
| thomson | richardcavell: no, but if i did? | 14:54 |
| richardcavell | thomson: VirtualBox can chew up disk space like buggery. | 14:54 |
| shane2peru | will a rsync process keep my power management setup from sleeping? or is power management only based on keyboard/mouse activity? | 14:54 |
| pebo_ | progre55: lsof | grep ^firefox | wc -l | 14:54 |
| Blizzerand | k . I want to unmount my current partition but there is a lock . What wwas the command to unmount my current partitioning | 14:54 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: rsync generates network activity, doesn't it? That will keep it awake. | 14:54 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: ok | 14:54 |
| thomson | richardcavell: ah | 14:54 |
| richardcavell | thomson: I have a 16 Gig / partition that contains everything on Ubuntu | 14:55 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: actually in this instance, I'm copying out to external hdd, no network | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: if you do get into virtualboxes etc, then move the generate folder to the common partition and symlink it ;) | 14:55 |
| richardcavell | thomson: I had 12 Gigs free, and installed Windows 7 on VirtualBox, and ended up with a disk full error before I had even got Win 7 to do anything useful | 14:55 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: common partition? | 14:55 |
| thomson | richardcavell: lol | 14:56 |
| progre55 | pebo_, cool, thanks, appreciate ) | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: the partition that both systems will access | 14:56 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: ah | 14:56 |
| guest1 | hello can anyone help me I installed ubuntu 9.04 on my external drive on a machine that had vista on it's internal, and it's installed grub and it wont let me just boot up with vista and if the external isnt registered it gives an error 21.... | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | richardcavell: sounds right for win7 ;) | 14:56 |
| richardcavell | ActionParsnip: My advice is increase the size of the root partition. Like I say, you're not short on hard disk space. I have a 60 Gig internal hard disk in my laptop and I have to ration disk space | 14:56 |
| thomson | richardcavell: how does th 16 GB / partition contain everything? | 14:57 |
| shane2peru | ok, does anyone know any tricks to keeping power management from sleeping while a particular process is running? prefer something commandline | 14:57 |
| richardcavell | ActionParsnip: Mind you I was downloading games on Steam when it froze! | 14:57 |
| slango | so, I accidentally deleted my /etc/apache2/ENVVARS file yesterday | 14:57 |
| shane2peru | like ping desktop? | 14:57 |
| slango | and reinstalling apache2-common isn't putting it back | 14:57 |
| slango | any ideas? | 14:57 |
| richardcavell | thomson: I just ran Disk Usage Analyser. Total Capacity: 16.6 Gig. Used: 3.8 | 14:57 |
| faaf3ja | Can someone tell me what exactly ttyS0 is? | 14:57 |
| guest1 | :'( | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: you could even just mount the common drive as /home/$USER and use it that way, when the XP boots it will see the files. | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | guest1 | 14:58 |
| ubottu | guest1: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 14:58 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: if it's formatted as ext3? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ThomasG3L: you can have your home partition on ntfs afaik | 14:59 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: If you find out the answer let me know too - as to whether rsync will keep the computer on | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: see above | 14:59 |
| guest1 | action, ubotto: havent lost grub - gained grub.. need to get back to booting with vista or family will freak lol | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ThomasG3L: sorry dude, wrong target | 14:59 |
| faaf3ja | ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure guest1 means the other way around. | 14:59 |
| Blizzerand | I want to unmount my current partition but there is a lock . What wwas the command to unmount my current partitioning . Please help | 14:59 |
| hbekel | Blizzerand: explain "lock" | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | guest1: then you need your vista cd and install NTLDR if you only want to boot vista | 14:59 |
| erUSUL | faaf3ja: a serial port device | 14:59 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: I'm pretty sure power management only looks for keyboard/mouse activity | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Blizzerand: sudo umount /mount/point | 15:00 |
| guest1 | action: can't just remove grub and return to normal ? | 15:00 |
| faaf3ja | erUSUL: Any reason why one wouldn't be able to run a GUI over it? | 15:00 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: so i can format the home partiton as ntfs? | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Blizzerand: if its busy run: lsof | grep /mount/point | less | 15:00 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: Boot up ubuntu, go to /boot/grub/menu.lst and uncomment the lines that refer to windows. Most of the time that should fix it. | 15:00 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: I recently setup my power management to sleep after an hour, and the proccess I had setup to record a web broadcast at 3PM started, but was cut short, power management went to sleep. | 15:00 |
| Blizzerand | ActionParsnip : Thanks | 15:00 |
| thhp | dpreacher: on line 261 the socket with fd 3 is opened; that's what we write to in line 488 just before the long-hanging select() in 489 | 15:00 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: You can disable power saving though, can't you? | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | faaf3ja: define "over it" ? a serial device is very low speed it is obsolete now most new computers no longer has one | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ThomasG3L: you'd do it in windows, then you'd edit /etc/fstab to mount it as /home with appropriate access to give you write access | 15:01 |
| dpreacher | thhp. looking @ 261 | 15:01 |
| guest1 | faaf: ok will try.. will computer boot to vista without external then ? | 15:01 |
| thhp | dpreacher: and when select() returns the next thing that happens is we read from fd 3 | 15:01 |
| thhp | dpreacher: i.e. from the socket | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: ThomasG3L: you'd do it in windows, then you'd edit /etc/fstab to mount it as /home with appropriate access to give you write access | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | faaf3ja: it was used for modems; mouses and other low speed things etc back in the day | 15:01 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: yes, but the point is I want it on, but want to find a way to disable it automatically for certain things, and then leave it on for all the rest of the time | 15:01 |
| MaleXachi | What can I resize hard disk mn adjust ubuntu? Because I want to reduce the space | 15:01 |
| dpreacher | right thhp | 15:01 |
| thhp | dpreacher: probably the next thing to do is attempt to work out what the request sent in 488 is | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | MaleXachi: use gparted from the livecd | 15:02 |
| faaf3ja | erUSUL: Ah, so too slow for a GUI I guess. Makes sense. | 15:02 |
| dpreacher | so its the socket call that is the issue thhp | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: windows will also be able to read it fine as its ntfs | 15:02 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: Perhaps you could add something to the launcher | 15:02 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: Yes. But you won't be able to run ubuntu without the external hard drive. | 15:02 |
| thhp | dpreacher: possibly; I think it's just pending a while on a response from the remote host | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | faaf3ja: you can connect with a terminal-serial client like minicom | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | !info minicom | 15:02 |
| ubottu | minicom (source: minicom): friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.3-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 170 kB, installed size 1160 kB | 15:02 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: hmm, ok, what would i have to put in /etc/fstab to make it do that? | 15:02 |
| guest1 | faaf - ok that is desired result. so edit menu.lst and remove any reference to windows yes ? | 15:03 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: probably there is something I could do to imitate a keyboard or mouse movement, or something to kick off screen saver or something to keep computer active | 15:03 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: Install the boot loader that comes with the System Rescue CD. That should fix everything. | 15:03 |
| MaleXachi | erUSUL: From livecd scale? But it always takes a long time or not then? | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: its too complex to explain in irc, if you websearch then you will find guides | 15:03 |
| Blizzerand | ActionParsnip : What does that command do | 15:03 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: UNCOMMENT references to to windows. Not remove them. | 15:03 |
| dpreacher | thhp, can u suggest if there is some other forum or channel i can get a more elaborate insight into the workings of the socket call | 15:03 |
| guest1 | faaf3ja - system rescue cd ??? didnt get anything like that with computer.. renting it. | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: you may find the installer has an option to set it up for you | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Blizzerand: which one? | 15:03 |
| faaf3ja | erUSUL: Thanks. Perfect. | 15:03 |
| guest1 | faaf - ok will try | 15:03 |
| forces | where can I download ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS? | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | MaleXachi: you can not edit mounted partitions livecd is the only option | 15:03 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: It's a free CD you download. | 15:03 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: ok, thanks | 15:03 |
| Blizzerand | ActionParsnip : lsof | grep /mount/point | less | 15:04 |
| guest1 | faaf - ok i'll do that too. | 15:04 |
| MaleXachi | erUSUL: Oh okay, thanks | 15:04 |
| thhp | dpreacher: possibly asking the openssh team would be a good place to start | 15:04 |
| ducky__ | Please, how on irssi i can see my different channel on irc ? | 15:04 |
| thhp | dpreacher: they might have a more relevent insight | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | forces: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/ | 15:04 |
| dpreacher | btw thhp despite so many open calls with 3 as fd how'd you reckon it could've been the socket() call? did you search all over for =3 ? | 15:04 |
| guest1 | faaf - simple to install boot loader on rescue cd ? | 15:04 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: There's a piece of hardware called mouse jiggler that does that | 15:04 |
| dpreacher | i think so too thhp | 15:04 |
| dpreacher | thanks | 15:04 |
| ducky__ | Please, how on irssi i can see my different channel on irc ? | 15:04 |
| richardcavell | slowly moves your mouse back and forth. It looks like a flash drive. Just plugs into USB | 15:04 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: ohh, let me look into that! | 15:05 |
| forces | that's a daily build | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | ducky__: change btween open channels ? Alt + number | 15:05 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: It's a lot of guessing. But if you get it wrong you can just start over. You won't lose any data. | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Blizzerand: lsof shows all open files (hence lsof). It greps for files on the mount point, then shoves it into less so if there is a lot of text it doesnt scroll the screen like mad | 15:05 |
| Pici | ducky__: Didn't we answer you about an hour ago? | 15:05 |
| ducky__ | 1 | 15:05 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: Just google mouse jiggler | 15:05 |
| forces | when will be avaible in the official mirrors? | 15:05 |
| thhp | dpreacher: more or less -- it occurred to me that socket() also returns an fd | 15:05 |
| richardcavell | it's only 15 bucks | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | forces: yes it is | 15:05 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: ahh, it isn't in the repos | 15:05 |
| ducky__ | i didnt see the answer sorry :s | 15:05 |
| thhp | dpreacher: and since the open() calls didn't look too likely it was the next suspect ;-) | 15:05 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: I said hardware | 15:05 |
| faaf3ja | What's a mouse jiggler? | 15:06 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: ahh, missed that, I figured it was a software | 15:06 |
| thhp | dpreacher: good luck with tracking down the problem, sorry I couldn't be of more help | 15:06 |
| === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] | ||
| forces | no, it's not | 15:06 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: I'm not that interested in getting hardware, there must be a software way | 15:06 |
| guest1 | faaf - any order i should do this in ? 1. edit menu, 2. reinstal boot ? | 15:06 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: I just found the answer for you | 15:06 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi , I just burned a disc , but when I click eject button on my dvdrom it said "Cannot unmount volume" "An application is preventing the volume 'Data disc (14 Jul 09)' from being unmounted." | 15:07 |
| hbekel | shane2peru: while true; do sleep 10; xdotool mousemove 0 0; xdotool mousemove 10 10; done | 15:07 |
| ducky__ | I have 2 chan open, but when i do " alt 1 " or " alt 2 " they are nothing :s | 15:07 |
| forces | http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/ | 15:07 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: I'm all ears | 15:07 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: would this be what you were talking about? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab | 15:07 |
| bluegoon | lunable to open swap file for /etc/fstab, recovery impossible | 15:07 |
| bluegoon | Unable* | 15:07 |
| ubuntunewbie | how do I eject my disc ? | 15:07 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: What you do is call the application with the prefix gnome-power-manager-inhibit | 15:07 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: Edit menu. If that doesn't work then reinstall boot. But there's a very big chance it could work without reinstalling the boot loader. | 15:07 |
| StrangeCharm | how can i auto-update my system clock from the net at regular intervals? | 15:07 |
| ubuntunewbie | what application that prevent it to be unmount ? | 15:07 |
| shane2peru | hbekel: that will wiggle the mouse cursor, and fool the computer into thinking someone is here? | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | thomson: sure, just change the mount points and device and you got a winner | 15:07 |
| bluegoon | Guys, how do i mount / ? | 15:07 |
| zetaz | hi to everyone | 15:07 |
| hbekel | shane2peru: excactly, just install xdotool | 15:08 |
| grawity | StrangeCharm: usually, ntpd does that. | 15:08 |
| thomson | ActionParsnip: k, thanks | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntunewbie: there is a file or files open that are on the partition | 15:08 |
| zetaz | I have a problem, I need to acces to a MacBook HD from a live ubuntu | 15:08 |
| hbekel | shane2peru: but there's probably a better way | 15:08 |
| grawity | StrangeCharm: and on Ubuntu it's already configured. | 15:08 |
| StrangeCharm | grawity- it's not doing it regularly enough. i need it to do so more often | 15:08 |
| zetaz | I want to mount /dev/hda but it simply doesn't exists | 15:08 |
| shane2peru | hbekel: that will work very nicely for me, I can include it in scripts too! | 15:08 |
| patrinstar | can anyone help me with my vid card drivers, i just installed ubunti 9,04 for the first time | 15:08 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: So to launch xchat, you change the menu item to "gnome-power-manager-inhibit xchat" | 15:08 |
| richardcavell | and then as long as xchat is running, your computer won't hibernate | 15:09 |
| grawity | StrangeCharm: ...why? | 15:09 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: did you see that? look up at hbekel's response | 15:09 |
| bluegoon | ActionParsnip: But you should be able to boot into rescue mode. mount the / partition in /mnt and comment out the fstab entry ..... dude, help, the boss just left me this message! im a total noob! | 15:09 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: ahh, I will paste it here: while true; do sleep 10; xdotool mousemove 0 0; xdotool mousemove 10 10; done | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | bluegoon: huh? | 15:09 |
| guest1 | faaf - ok have commented out bottom end of menu.lst - do i need to upload it into bootstrap somehow ? | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !mount | bluegoon | 15:10 |
| ubottu | bluegoon: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | bluegoon | 15:10 |
| ubottu | bluegoon: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 15:10 |
| thomson | so, just to confirm, change home from 50GB to 10GB and increase root from 10GB or leave it the same? | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | bluegoon: those will help lots. I gotta jet | 15:10 |
| Klowny | Good morning everyone! | 15:10 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: that will work but the idea I gave is the 'correct' solution | 15:10 |
| StrangeCharm | grawity- i'm running it in a vm, and the clock becomes inaccurate quickly, and regularly when i susped and restore snapshots, and my clock needs to be accurate for cryptographic applications | 15:10 |
| ubuntunewbie | ActionParsnip : I dont understand , I close all related file that links to the dvd rom | 15:10 |
| bluegoon | ActionParsnip: dude, but how do i mount "/"?? | 15:10 |
| shane2peru | hbekel: haha, I could use that as a practical joke too, on my buddy, go into his crontab and set it up to run every 50 seconds, lol | 15:11 |
| bazhang | bluegoon, did you read those links yet? | 15:11 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: use lsof to check which files are open on the cdrom | 15:11 |
| dpreacher | thhp asking around in openssh channel, lets see what happens | 15:11 |
| Klowny | anyone use frostwire by any chance? | 15:11 |
| zetaz | can someone please help me? | 15:11 |
| richardcavell | thomson: I'm still saying increase / from 10 Gigs. How much stuff do you put in /home? If you're not a huge porn downloader you won't need more than 10 gigs | 15:11 |
| grawity | StrangeCharm: apt-get install ntp, and edit /etc/ntp.conf | 15:11 |
| StrangeCharm | okay then grawity | 15:11 |
| thomson | richardcavell: haha, what will increasing the root partition allow for? | 15:12 |
| bluegoon | bazhang: its a bit complicated, i have a RAID 5 here, newly installed, we swopped raid controllers, now the freaking thing boots but freaks out, something about sdb1 | 15:12 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: would that open up xchat?, or just pretend to open it? | 15:12 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: Just reboot | 15:13 |
| faaf3ja | guest1: Wait. How many hard drives do you have | 15:13 |
| guest1 | faaf - i have 1 internal 2 external | 15:13 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: try it. Put gnome-power-manager-inhibit in front of any bash command and it will simply run that command and not let your computer sleep while it is running | 15:13 |
| pebo_ | pebo_: test | 15:13 |
| pebo_ | whops, sorry | 15:13 |
| hbekel | zetaz: cat /proc/partitions | 15:14 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: that actually launches the app | 15:14 |
| patrinstar | can anyone help me with vid card drivers? | 15:14 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: ahh, so I would run, gnome-power-manager-inhibit myscript | 15:14 |
| richardcavell | thomson: Well, I'm just thinking that 10 Gigs is about as small as you could get and still be comfortable. You're not short on space so I'd give it some breathing room. Like I said, the moment you install some software that chews up hard disk, like VBox, you'll run out | 15:14 |
| ubuntunewbie | Slart: I type lsof , a list of file generating on the terminal , how do I Check ? I can't scroll up anymore | 15:14 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: right, got it, thanks, that is exactly what I want to do! | 15:14 |
| Paavi2_0 | !ask | patrinstar | 15:14 |
| ubottu | patrinstar: 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. :-) | 15:14 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: yeah, so what's the problem? | 15:14 |
| hbekel | zetaz: does that help? | 15:15 |
| patrinstar | oh, thanks. im new, obvisely | 15:15 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: no, I thought you meant specifically xchat, not any command, | 15:15 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: use grep to filter the output lsof | grep -i /media/cdrom should give you a list of open files on the cdrom | 15:15 |
| thomson | richardcavell: ok, so about 20 - 30 GB? | 15:15 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: Yes, it is. You can edit your menus to put that in front of the command line that is run when a menu item is selected, for example | 15:15 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: now I put 2 + 2 together and get it. | 15:15 |
| zetaz | hbekel: response to cat /proc/partitions : loop0 and ramzswap0 | 15:15 |
| The_Toxic_Mite | Hey guys! :) | 15:15 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: actually it is all scripted out stuff, so that is easier, I can write that into the script | 15:16 |
| shane2peru | richardcavell: thanks! that is a truly a gold nugget | 15:16 |
| zetaz | hbekel: can I private msg to you? It's difficult to read here :) | 15:16 |
| richardcavell | shane2peru: Okay. Or you could do gnome-power-manager-inhibit sh myscript.sh | 15:16 |
| richardcavell | thomson: Yeah, I reckon so | 15:16 |
| shane2peru | hbekel: thanks for that info on the xdotool, that sounds like I could have fun with that. | 15:16 |
| topher_ | Can someone help me partition a drive and reinstall Linux Mint? | 15:16 |
| hbekel | shane2peru: xdotool is sweet | 15:17 |
| Slart | !mint | topher_ | 15:17 |

| patrinstar | i have an ati readon 9200se video card, when i first installed unbuntu 9.04 i could use 2048x1024 resolution on one monitor, i did all the updates and now i can only go as high as 1024x768 and i cant figure out how to get it back to at least the 2048, and i'd like to get back to dual monitor. can anyone help me | 15:17 |
| ubuntunewbie | Slart: I saw the file and program that in use , but I had close the program already | 15:17 |
| thomson | also, i would need to use the ntfs driver in linux to allow read/write access right? | 15:17 |

| grawity | thomson: Ubuntu already includes the ntfs-3g driver by default. | 15:18 |
| thomson | ah, nice | 15:18 |
| bluegoon | says e2fsck: cannot continue, aborting... | 15:19 |
| bluegoon | /dev/sdb1 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting. | 15:19 |
| Boohbah | bluegoon: umount the partition before fscking | 15:19 |
| bluegoon | Boohbah: ok its dropped me to shell, how do i unmount it? < linux newb | 15:19 |
| Baba_B00ie | anyone know of any issues with ubuntu 904 and booting laptops on batteries ? my hp seems to hang after grub when starting on battery but A/C starts normal | 15:20 |
| bluegoon | devbox | 15:20 |
| bluegoon | sorry* | 15:20 |
| Boohbah | bluegoon: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 | 15:20 |
| ubuntunewbie | Slart: so what is lsof ? and lsof | grep -i ? means ? wanted to learn more . | 15:20 |
| bluegoon | Boohbah: let me try one sec | 15:20 |
| edbian_ | Baba_B00ie: Do you know how to set kernel options? | 15:20 |
| Boohbah | ubuntunewbie: LiStOpenFiles | 15:20 |
| Baba_B00ie | edbian, not really | 15:20 |
| === faaf3ja is now known as rashed2020 | ||
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: lsof means "list open files".. that just makes a big long list of open files of all kinds | 15:20 |
| ducky__ | I'm sorry but when i do " alt + 1 " or other number, i cant access to my other channel :( | 15:20 |
| bluegoon | Boohbah: ok done, what should i do now? | 15:20 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: this is normal behaviour. You can fsck it while it's mounted | 15:20 |
| Boohbah | ubuntunewbie: grep will search the output of lsof for the specified string | 15:20 |
| Baba_B00ie | edbian, what needs to be done, i can use our friend google ;) | 15:20 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: this is normal behaviour. You CAN'T fsck it while it's mounted | 15:21 |
| Boohbah | bluegoon: sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1 | 15:21 |
| terminhell | how can i use update-manager -d to install karmic via cli in a tty? | 15:21 |
| bluegoon | Boohbah: dude, it states /dev/sdb1: not found | 15:21 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: the pipe character | means that it sends the output to another command.. in this case we send it to grep which is used to filter text | 15:21 |
| Klowny | i wish people in the frostwire community chat would help moi lol | 15:21 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: /dev/sdb1: not found ... ? | 15:21 |
| ducky__ | I'm sorry but when i do " alt + 1 " or other number, i cant access to my other channel :( | 15:21 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: grep "something" will just return the lines that contain the string "something".. if we add -i we make the search case insensitive.. it we will get "something" "Something" "someTHING" and so on | 15:22 |
| edbian_ | Baba_B00ie: When you turn on the system and you're looking at grub you can press "e" for edit and then set the kernel options. | 15:22 |
| edbian_ | Baba_B00ie: The option you want to set is "acpi=off" | 15:22 |
| AD7six | Hi how can I start a program (e.g., pidgin) on workspace 2 on login | 15:22 |
| bluegoon | Boohbah: WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. | 15:22 |
| Pici | ducky__: Maybe you don't have any other channels open. Have you tried joining #irssi and asking there? When you join a channel it should set that as the active window | 15:22 |

| Baba_B00ie | edbian, ok sounds good, anything else ? | 15:22 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: You said it was mounted. When you do df -h what does it say? | 15:22 |
| terminhell | why cant i use update-manager -d in a terminal? is there another way to upgrade via terminal? | 15:22 |
| ubuntunewbie | Slart , Boohbah : thank you a lot for explaining ! :-D | 15:22 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: piping output to grep is a very common way of filtering output/files/logs.. almost anything | 15:22 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: you're welcome | 15:22 |
| NauTiluS1 | Tnks | 15:22 |
| LordLandon | terminhell: apt-get upgrade | 15:23 |
| Boohbah | bluegoon: umount it first | 15:23 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: let me check mount | 15:23 |
| bluegoon | Boohbah: i did unmount it! | 15:23 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: have a look at this.. free to download.. contains lots of good stuff http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com | 15:23 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Yes, don't do that | 15:23 |
| edbian_ | Baba_B00ie: Not unless you have any questions! | 15:23 |
| terminhell | LordLandon: and with that ill be able to upgrade to 9.10? | 15:23 |
| edbian_ | Baba_B00ie: If it works I can show you how to set it permanently. | 15:23 |
| Baba_B00ie | edbian, thanks i'll reboot and set thanks | 15:23 |
| Boohbah | bluegoon: do you get any output from 'mount |grep sdb1' ? | 15:23 |
| edbian_ | Baba_B00ie: NP | 15:23 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: slow down and don't try to run fsck until you know what's happening | 15:23 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: ok did the df -h, get /dev/sda3 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 | 15:23 |
| grawity | terminhell: there's do-release-upgrade too. | 15:24 |
| Baba_B00ie | edbian, i'll be back if it works | 15:24 |
| topher_ | Need help partitioning! | 15:24 |
| bluegoon | /dev/sda3 is /, /dev/sdb1 *problem one* is /srv | 15:24 |
| edbian_ | topher_: Oh yeah? | 15:24 |
| ubuntunewbie | Slart , thanks for the link now looking | 15:24 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: try sudo umount /dev/sdb1 | 15:24 |
| edbian_ | topher_: I can help :) | 15:24 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: | 15:24 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: did you type it correctly before? | 15:24 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: kk | 15:24 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: yea mate | 15:24 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: it states: /dev/sdb1 not found | 15:25 |
| Boohbah | bluegoon: if df shows the partition it's still mounted | 15:25 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: So is it mounted or unmounted? | 15:25 |
| bluegoon | Booit does, but umount shows its not. | 15:25 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: i really dont know, all these drives are hooked up to a raid controller. | 15:25 |
| terminhell | grawity: how would i use that exactly? | 15:25 |
| SmoKeyCastle | anyone know of a good website to host a small chunk of code on to pass to someone else? | 15:25 |
| thomson | HDD size: 298.09 GB ------- partition scheme -- PRIMARY: Windows (1x NTFS 50GB), Ubuntu (1x ext3 root 20GB, 1x swap 2GB, 1x ext3 home 10GB), LOGICAL: storage (1x NTFS 216.09 GB) | 15:26 |
| bluegoon | we swopped out raid controllers, could that have freaked out the OS? | 15:26 |
| thomson | there... how is that? | 15:26 |
| SmoKeyCastle | kind of like a imageshack for text? | 15:26 |
| richardcavell | thomson: looks good to me | 15:26 |
| Slart | SmoKeyCastle: pastebin? | 15:26 |
| Pici | !paste | SmoKeyCastle | 15:26 |
| ducky__ | I found the answer | 15:26 |
| ubottu | SmoKeyCastle: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 15:26 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: It sounds fscked up to me | 15:26 |
| stratocaster | the old commands (i see it if i push the up key on keyboard), can be put in a txt file? | 15:26 |
| thomson | excellent | 15:26 |
| ducky__ | It wasnt to do " alt + 1 ", it's to do " ctrl + n " | 15:26 |
| terminhell | grawity: it just says that theres no new release | 15:26 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: damn, this is a brand new one..$$$$ | 15:26 |
| thomson | time to format | 15:26 |
| thomson | not tonight though | 15:26 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: maybe the problem isnt with linux, but the raid controller itself, might want to check the config on the controller. | 15:27 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: type mount /dev/sdb1 and tell us what it says | 15:27 |
| richardcavell | you won't ruin anything | 15:27 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: kk | 15:27 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist | 15:27 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Jesus | 15:28 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: lol, ? | 15:28 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: you sure you're typing everything correctly? | 15:28 |
| UnderSampled | if I burned a cd image to a dvd, should I expect it to work? | 15:28 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: yea dude, had typing in school. | 15:28 |
| bastidrazor | bluegoon, sudo fdisk -l | 15:28 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Yeah, do that | 15:29 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: k | 15:29 |
| richardcavell | UnderSampled: Yes, no problem | 15:29 |
| bluegoon | ok sda's are fine, sdb doesnt contain a valid partition table | 15:29 |
| stratocaster | the old commands (i see it if i push the up key on keyboard), can be put in a txt file? | 15:30 |
| UnderSampled | richardcavell: ok | 15:30 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: That doesn't sound good | 15:30 |
| bastidrazor | stratocaster, they already are.. in .bash_history | 15:30 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Do you have anything on there that you're trying to keep? | 15:30 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: freaking *$(939ing $500 Raid controller! | 15:30 |
| erUSUL | stratocaster: they are put automatically by the shell in its history file | 15:31 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: yes, 1 tb company backup. | 15:31 |
| === LioTheSurfer is now known as baubau | ||
| grawity | erUSUL: but only once you exit the shell. | 15:31 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Wait on a minute. Did you partition them before or after you added them to the RAID controller? | 15:31 |
| bluejeans | good morning all. where can i get flash player for an amd 64 architecture? .. can't find it on adobe site | 15:31 |
| vlad | does anybody know of a good bash scripting tutorial? | 15:31 |
| baubau | hi if I use dd I can copy an entire win partition in another partition and then copy it back and it will be bootable? | 15:31 |
| stratocaster | bastidrazor: what's tha path of .bash_history? | 15:31 |
| richardcavell | bluejeans: it's there, you just have to search a little | 15:31 |
| Slart | bluejeans: it should be available from adobe.. look harder.. google with site: or inurl: or whatever the keyword is called | 15:31 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: not sure, this machine was running fine, with a raid controller, another's raid controller died, gave THIS one a new raid controller, moving its old raid controller to the machine's thats raid c ontroller died. | 15:31 |
| grawity | stratocaster: ~/.bash_history | 15:31 |
| richardcavell | bluejeans: it's an alpha release | 15:32 |
| bastidrazor | vlad, http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/bashref/ | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | grawity: nope you can searcvh your history and see it in multiple ways.. my facorite is Crtl + r to search backwards in history | 15:32 |
| grawity | stratocaster: you might want to use history -w | 15:32 |
| baubau | hi if I use dd I can copy an entire win partition in another partition and then copy it back and it will be bootable? | 15:32 |
| diddy | I just installed bastille. Now how do I start it sudo bastille -x doesn't do it. | 15:32 |
| grawity | erUSUL: that I know, but the history is only stored in memory until you exit/logout that particular shell. | 15:32 |
| bastidrazor | stratocaster, ~/.bash_history | 15:32 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: If those disks were not partitioned using that RAID controller then I wouldn't be surprised if everything's SNAFU | 15:32 |
| bluejeans | hm.. ok. i'll keep looking. thanks all | 15:32 |
| vlad | thanks man | 15:32 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: do you think this issue is rather due to a bad RAID configuration? it was working fine with the old raid controller. | 15:32 |
| simeon_ | hey, got a question. i want to switch the kernel from generic x86/x86_64 to amd64-k8 ive installed the "dummy package's, linux-image-amd64-k8, headers and so on, but it stops there, doesnt download the real packages. do u need to edit any config to set the system to amd64-k8 or? | 15:32 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: ah ok, cool. | 15:32 |
| patrinstar | i have an ati readon 9200se video card, when i first installed unbuntu 9.04 i could use 2048x1024 resolution on one monitor, i did all the updates and now i can only go as high as 1024x768 and i cant figure out how to get it back to at least the 2048, and i'd like to get back to dual monitor. can anyone help me | 15:32 |
| fccf | baubau: please don't repeat ... Yes, but you will have to restore the windows bootloader to the dest drive | 15:33 |
| baubau | so just a fixmbr? | 15:33 |
| stratocaster | bastidrazor, grawity: in my home i haven't this directory | 15:33 |
| richardcavell | if your idea is to recover data from them, you need to set them up the way they were before | 15:33 |
| richardcavell | if you want to use them with the new RAID controller, you should reformat them all over again | 15:33 |
| richardcavell | but you will obviously lose all your data | 15:33 |
| grawity | stratocaster: it's a file. | 15:33 |
| fccf | baubau yep | 15:33 |
| bastidrazor | stratocaster, it isn't a directory. a file | 15:33 |
| baubau | thx man bb | 15:33 |
| edbian_ | patrinstar: What is the output of xrandr -q? | 15:33 |
| stratocaster | bastidrazor, grawity: it's true! i can open it with gedit? | 15:34 |
| edbian_ | patrinstar: This command lists what the video card is capable of doing with the driver currently loaded. | 15:34 |
| Slart | !generic | simeon_ | 15:34 |
| ubottu | simeon_: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 15:34 |
| patrinstar | ok, hold on let me check, im totally brand new to this | 15:34 |
| grawity | stratocaster: yes, it's just a simple text document. | 15:34 |
| edbian_ | patrinstar: NP! (when you say something start with my name like I am doing for you). | 15:34 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Okay, so at least we know what's causing your problems | 15:34 |
| stratocaster | grawity: and bash_logout? | 15:34 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Your hardware is working as expected | 15:34 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Any one of those disks is useless without the original RAID controller set up the way it was before | 15:35 |
| grawity | stratocaster: ~/.bash_logout is sourced every time you log out. | 15:35 |
| simeon_ | ah, explans it | 15:35 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: I'm assuming that the RAID method was not just creating redundant backups but rather striping across multiple drives | 15:36 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ the driver says max 1024x768 | 15:36 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: it appears so yes, RAID 5 setups | 15:36 |
| stratocaster | grawity: i can open it with gedit? | 15:36 |
| grawity | stratocaster: ....try it and see. | 15:36 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: Okay so you need to plug in the original disks with the original RAID controllers | 15:36 |
| richardcavell | and don't try to fsck them or else you'll bollock them completely | 15:37 |
| stratocaster | grawity: perfect! thanks! | 15:37 |
| padhu2 | bluegoon: RAID1 is Better than RAID5. See wiki pages for more info | 15:37 |
| bluegoon | richardcavell: yea, cool beans, just found out the data was backed up on this one with the iffy raid configuration. | 15:37 |
| Speedy_ | how do install this? | 15:37 |
| grawity | stratocaster: there's also ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc that might be interesting. | 15:37 |

| simeon_ | reason is that 2.6.24-24 and -23 is unstable on my system, when the network activity is high the net goes down due to some memory leak (i think) and brings the whole network down, some strange shit, all my other computers in the same switch kind of nukes by the buggy one | 15:39 |

| anirban | I am having problem installing ufw | 15:40 |
| Tetracomm | Hello. | 15:40 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ how do i find otu what driver im using? i tried to change it through the display settings. im using ubuntu 9.04 | 15:40 |
| Slart | anirban: I think it's installed by default, isn't it? | 15:40 |
| Slart | !ufw | 15:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 15:40 |
| richardcavell | bluegoon: I take it your company boss is going to be happy with you now? | 15:40 |
| bazhang | anirban, installing or configuring; try gufw for gui | 15:41 |
| edbian | patrinstar: The best way to tell what driver you're using is with the command line. In linux drivers are called modules. You can run "sudo lsmod" to list the modules that are currently being used. The trick is to know what you're looking for. Radeon cards either use fglrx (proprietary from ATI) or radeon (open source). | 15:41 |
| anirban | I am on a shell and not on a GUI as it is Ubuntu Server . Its a VPS | 15:41 |

| fccf | !ask | 15:42 |

| codyxx | I just got a read/write error when attempting to resize my ext3 partition in Gparted | 15:42 |
| codyxx | What can I do? | 15:42 |
| codyxx | (How could I also change the mount permissions on my drive?) | 15:42 |
| codyxx | I saw the command before, but I dorgot it. | 15:43 |
| edbian | patrinstar: You can combine lsmod with | grep <string> to filter the output. lsmod | grep fglrx. Will take the output of lsmod and filter it for the phrase fglrx. It will then print out only the lines that have "fglrx" somewhere in them. Handy little tool. | 15:43 |
| codyxx | *forgot | 15:43 |
| edbian | patrinstar: Do you understand? | 15:43 |

| richardcavell | bluegoon: I quite understand. I have a *#%!* boss too | 15:46 |
| edbian | patrinstar: If "radeon" was anywhere in the output of lsmod the you're using the radeon driver. | 15:46 |
| edbian | then you're* | 15:46 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: are you sure? You don't know until you fsck | 15:46 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ it was, so it is open source | 15:46 |

| edbian | patrinstar: "Method invoked for ApplyConfiguration returned FALSE but did not set error" <--- ?? | 15:47 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: after you got the read/write error? | 15:47 |
| codyxx | yep | 15:47 |

| fccf | anirban: have run apt-get update | 15:48 |
| === scfh_ is now known as scfh | ||
| legend2440 | anirban: dont know if it matters but your line in terminal says your already root root@web2dziner:~# sudo apt-get install ufw and then your using sudo also | 15:48 |

| patrinstar | edbian_ when i went into display settings i clicked on my primary monitor which is the only one working, and went and selected my resolution size to 1280x1024, which is the highest res size i can select, when i clicked on apply thats the error message i got | 15:48 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: okay, good | 15:48 |
| richardcavell | now, what's your question? | 15:48 |
| bluejeans | no adobe flash for 64-bit | 15:48 |
| echosystm | how do you add a kernel module? | 15:48 |
| codyxx | How could I change the mount permissions on my drive? | 15:48 |
| bluejeans | http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html | 15:48 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: so you mean that volume bar at the top right panel moves, but nothing else happens? | 15:49 |
| JohnFlux | Hey all | 15:49 |
| codyxx | To essentially mount not at root, but with my username and password | 15:49 |
| echosystm | /etc/modules doesnt exist | 15:49 |
| codyxx | I forgot the command, but I saw it in the ubuntu forums | 15:49 |
| JohnFlux | Is there any technical reason why the repositories couldn't just hold all the old versions of packages? | 15:49 |
| juiCeppe | dunno | 15:49 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: unmount and then remount | 15:49 |
| codyxx | From a live cd? | 15:50 |
| erUSUL | JohnFlux: bandwith? storege capacity? adminstration overhead ? etc ? | 15:50 |
| JohnFlux | erUSUL: why would bandwidth come into it? | 15:50 |
| edbian | patrinstar: hang on a sec | 15:50 |
| === maarek is now known as MaarekStele | ||
| LargePrime | chaosphere: no. I mean the volume control keys pop a volume graphic, that moves, but it disconnected (does not effect) from the vol bar on the panel. | 15:50 |
| JohnFlux | erUSUL: hmm it would make apt-get update use more bandwidth | 15:50 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ no problem | 15:50 |
| fccf | JohnFlux: mirroring | 15:51 |
| JohnFlux | fccf: ah yeah | 15:51 |
| === LioTheSurfer is now known as yoman | ||
| TwoToneSpirit | JohnFlux: You may get a more thought-out answer to that question in #ubuntu-motu | 15:51 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: the panel vol controll works, and I can set it to whatever I change teh sound system to | 15:51 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: I'm not sure I understand what you're asking | 15:51 |
| strang3r | hello, what is the device manager known as in jaunty? | 15:51 |
| yoman | is there anyone who knows well how to use dd? | 15:52 |

| strang3r | ty | 15:52 |
| edbian | patrinstar: What was the highest resolution listed with xrandr -q ? | 15:52 |
| codyxx | No, there was a command I saw that would essentially allow the drive to mount by username and password and not by root, thereby allowing read/write permissions again | 15:52 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: I do not know how to change the settings on the application that controlls mt laptop softkeys | 15:52 |
| codyxx | Or I was wondering if there is any other way to bypass the read/write error | 15:53 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ 1280x1200 | 15:53 |
| yoman | I need help with dd. Anyone who know well how to use it? | 15:53 |
| hbekel | yoman: dd is quite simple, it copies data | 15:53 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: the read/write error didn't come from permissions | 15:53 |
| richardcavell | you should be running gparted as root | 15:53 |
| fccf | yoman: what are you trying to copy? | 15:54 |
| edbian | patrinstar: which isn't high enough correct? | 15:54 |
| yoman | a win partition NTFS | 15:54 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ yes | 15:54 |
| ohir | yoman: man dd | 15:54 |
| edbian | patrinstar: You want 2048X1024 | 15:54 |
| codyxx | What do you think it came from? | 15:55 |
| yoman | I want to make a backup of this in another partition, then create a 100mb partition at the start of the hard drive to install grub and then copy win back | 15:55 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ yes if its possible. i know windows can do it, so unbuntu should be better ;-) | 15:55 |
| edbian | patrinstar: How did you set up your dual monitors? What program did you use? | 15:55 |
| MK13 | when installing ff3.5 can i remove the previous version? | 15:55 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ and dual monitor | 15:55 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ none | 15:55 |
| edbian | patrinstar: You've never gotten it up in ubuntu? | 15:55 |
| richardcavell | MK13 yes you can | 15:55 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: I think your hardware came up with an error | 15:56 |
| ohir | yoman: dd if=/input/path/to/file of=/output/path/to/file bs=block_size count=blocks_count | 15:56 |
| richardcavell | codyxx: that's the kind of error that could signal your disk is about to break | 15:56 |
| MK13 | richard, how ( i don't wanna break 3.5 :) | 15:56 |
| richardcavell | or it just sometimes happens | 15:56 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ i did everythign through the display settings, i turned it on once and screwed up both monitors i couldnt see anything | 15:56 |
| MK13 | richardcavell, , how ( i don't wanna break 3.5 :) | 15:56 |
| yoman | ohir: yeah I know the command, but I dunno if it's possible to do what I wanna do | 15:56 |
| richardcavell | You can uninstall 3.0 and then install 3.5 if you like | 15:57 |
| datta | i want to know where ubuntu's gedit is located like in what folder | 15:57 |
| richardcavell | the package manager shouldn't let you break dependencies | 15:57 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: so that zx8000 is from what company? | 15:57 |
| ohir | yoman: and as linux is of unix ancestry, everthing is a file. Your /dev is full of files. Special files. | 15:57 |
| legend2440 | MK13: i was told in channel #firefox that i should not remove firefox 3.0 after installing 3.5 | 15:57 |
| richardcavell | datta: go to a terminal and type: whereis gedit | 15:58 |
| bazhang | MK13, you should not | 15:58 |
| === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam | ||
| LargePrime | chaosphere: hp. sorry. kinda (in)famouse laptop | 15:58 |
| Titan8990 | legend2440, maybe because 3.5 currently has a vuln? | 15:58 |
| richardcavell | bazhang: But you can uninstall 3.0 and then install 3.5 fresh? | 15:58 |
| bazhang | richardcavell, it will just reinstall 3.0 if you have removed it. | 15:58 |
| ohir | yoman: basicaly you want to do dd if=/dev/rawdisk_device_file of=/home/backup/partition_backup bs=1024k count=partition_size_in_MiB | 15:59 |
| yoman | to sum up: I have in order 50gb WIN - 50gb LIN - 200gb NTFS. I want to copy the first 50 gb in the 200gb, then redimension the first gigs and create 2 partition 1 for grub (100mb) and 1 for win again. Then copy it back and make it boot as usual | 15:59 |
| richardcavell | bazhang: deja vu. You can uninstall 3.0 and run just 3.5 if youw ant | 15:59 |
| richardcavell | FF 3.5 is a little incompatible on my puter | 15:59 |
| MK13 | bazhang, y not? | 15:59 |
| owner | Hi all! I need help setting up NFS between two debian machines. I keep having permission issues... Is there a way to get root rw access at all times? | 15:59 |
| moltenbobcat | owner: What does your /etc/exports line look like? | 16:00 |
| hbekel | yoman: so you want to copy 50 gigs into 4.9gigs ? | 16:00 |
| edbian | patrinstar: Check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 | 16:00 |
| edbian | patrinstar: I feel like I don't have the experience to help you :( | 16:00 |
| datta | there it doesnt work for the thing i wanted because i wanted it for my default editor of greasemonkey | 16:00 |
| bazhang | MK13, installing 3.5 will bring in 3.0 if you have removed it. 3.5 is unofficial, thus branded shiretoko | 16:00 |
| ohir | yoman: nowadays it even can be blockdevicefile so: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/home/bak/sda1_1024_122120k_bak.img bs=1024k count=122120 | 16:00 |
| yoman | hbekel: yes that's the point. My installation has 30gb occupied out of 50. Is it possible to copy it back? | 16:00 |
| yoman | in 49.9? | 16:01 |
| datta | does anyone know how to set up the default editor for greasemonkey to gedit | 16:01 |
| MK13 | bazhang, gotcha, thnx | 16:01 |
| richardcavell | yoman: you want to do a dynamic resize, not bugger about with dd | 16:01 |
| hbekel | yoman: not with dd, you'll have to resize your partitions | 16:01 |
| ohir | yoman: real partition sizes you oughta get from sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdddevice | 16:01 |
| yoman | yes but the risk of data loss is higher | 16:01 |
| yoman | it's a NTFS filesystem | 16:01 |
| owner | moltenbobcat: on the host i have '/ 193.136.0.2(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)' | 16:01 |
| patrinstar | edbian_ its all right, so i should get this program? mergedfb | 16:01 |

| datta | it keeps on giving me an error of finding the executable file | 16:02 |
| fccf | datta: system>preferences>preferred applications | 16:02 |
| hbekel | yoman: dd just copies raw data, it doesn't know anything about partitions | 16:02 |
| yoman | yeah but I was thinking about ntfs partitioning | 16:02 |
| ohir | wow, should read carefuly what yoman wanna do | 16:02 |
| richardcavell | yoman: What you're trying to do is asking for trouble | 16:02 |
| datta | fccf sorry but there is not help with that | 16:03 |
| yoman | yes but I read multiple answers and I'm tryna reply back | 16:03 |
| yoman | that's the confusion :/ | 16:03 |
| l1m5 | i'm trying to get the bluetooth mac address of the keyboard but when i run hcitool scan | 16:03 |
| ohir | yoman: get gparted to work and resize. Prepare for damn long resize with 49.9GiB out of 50GiB | 16:03 |
| l1m5 | i get an 'invalid argument' error | 16:03 |
| l1m5 | is there another way to get the bluetooth mac address? | 16:03 |
| yoman | that's the final answer? | 16:03 |
| hbekel | yoman: dd is the wrong tool | 16:03 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: You googleing this? I could find nothing that works. | 16:04 |
| richardcavell | yoman: use gparted not dd and for God's sake make a backup | 16:04 |
| moltenbobcat | owner: so what do the filesystem permissions look like? who owns the files etc | 16:04 |
| Klowny | hey guys my mom is needing a new OS her computer is going so slow it is pathetic... would ubuntu be a good choice for her? all she does is get on myspace/facebook/pogo.com/ and that's pretty much it | 16:04 |
| yoman | k I will | 16:04 |
| unop | yoman, backup with tar ?? | 16:04 |
| unop | yoman, that way you don't have to worry about the destination partition size | 16:04 |
| richardcavell | Klowny: Ubuntu's Firefox works fine with those sites | 16:05 |
| yoman | that's interesting | 16:05 |
| moltenbobcat | Klowny: why don't you download a live cd and st her down in front of it and have her see what she thinks give a list of reasons why you think it sgood and let her make her own decision | 16:05 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: and having a look at the packets. searching for that one to edit hp softkeys support | 16:05 |
| codyxx | Well, it resized my HFS+ partition fine | 16:05 |
| codyxx | That is what perplexes me | 16:05 |
| Klowny | yes molten i got ubuntu on my machine and i like it and it's pretty easy for the regular user | 16:05 |
| datta | never mind anyone found the answer in ubuntuforums | 16:05 |
| Klowny | and my regular install cd has the option for a live cd too so i am gonna try that out | 16:05 |
| Klowny | though i know the OS runs very slow while under the live cd option | 16:06 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: did you had a look at /etc/init.d ? perhaps you can find there what is loaded to get the softkeys to work | 16:06 |
| skyred | Is there a way to monitor how much data does a SSH Tunnel consume? | 16:06 |
| yoman | but why when I boot with the gparted live cd it sees only unallocated space? | 16:06 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: Carry on. If you got a moment I would like to know what 'packets' you are searching are... | 16:06 |
| Klowny | lol i feel like i am trying to convert my mother back to the good side | 16:06 |
| Klowny | she's on windows xp and she is virus filled and at least with ubuntu there are less chances of viruses | 16:06 |
| Klowny | if any chance | 16:06 |
| Klowny | lol | 16:06 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: No, I just googled for a fix. should I look there now? | 16:07 |
| yoman | Klowny, copy the livecd on ram | 16:07 |
| LordLandon | yoman: you might've messed up your patition table if you've been mucking about with dd, and gparted doesn't know there's a partition there. | 16:07 |
| MrPink08 | hey all, I am going to format my pc, what (asside from the obvious files I want to keep) should I backup to restore later? (I am upping from 8.04 to 9.04) | 16:07 |
| yoman | I've never used dd before | 16:07 |
| fccf | skyred: you could run wireshark... then sort the output | 16:07 |
| owner | moltenbobcat: some are owned by root and i need to be able to write to those as a user of the client box | 16:08 |
| hbekel | yoman: did you let vista create those partitions? | 16:08 |
| moltenbobcat | Klowny: it's definately a good choice and it sounds like your doing it for the right reasons remember that you then become the sole point of tech support | 16:08 |
| yoman | never had vista . I have xp | 16:08 |
| Klowny | her computer is better than mine but mine is faster lol | 16:08 |
| Klowny | lol molten well i am already her sole point of tech support | 16:08 |
| yoman | but well... no I didn't let win do it | 16:08 |
| moltenbobcat | owner: you could try doing a chmod o+w on the files | 16:08 |
| Klowny | less tech support needed with ubuntu tho, i have had no problems with mine except for frostwire being an ass to me | 16:08 |
| moltenbobcat | that shoudl take care of it | 16:08 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: for example there's a packet for acer laptops to get special functions to work like wireless-lan-button and other softkeys. i think it was called acerhk or so. there must be something like this for hp laptops. Yes, search for something with 'hp' in the name | 16:08 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: hotkey-setup? | 16:08 |
| moltenbobcat | Klowny: so then you might be making your life easier, make sure to think of stuff like printing | 16:09 |
| yoman | also gparted from ubuntu live can't see partitions | 16:09 |
| skyred | fccf, would you point me to the relative articles? | 16:09 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: apt-cache search hotkey-setup | 16:09 |
| chaosphere | hotkey-setup - auto-configures laptop hotkeys Looks good :) | 16:09 |
| yoman | but win sees the partitions | 16:09 |
| oskar- | skyred: grep "sport=xxxxx" /proc/net/ip_conntrack | 16:09 |
| hbekel | yoman: does fdisk -l see any? | 16:09 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: sudo? | 16:10 |
| oskar- | skyred: perhaps with watch | 16:10 |
| fccf | !info wireshark | skyred | 16:10 |

| owner | moltenbobcat: i'm more after root squash i guess, both machines are on LAN | 16:10 |
| yoman | I'm on win right now | 16:10 |
| yoman | I can reboot and check it out | 16:10 |
| moltenbobcat | and any digital cameras etc but it can defiantely be a good thing. As long as she doesn't have a virus issue anymore. Just make sure everything works on firefox in ubuntu and she'll probably be fine keep in mind if she uses openoffice or anything like that you probably need to teach her to save her files in the office 97/2000 compat format or whatever | 16:10 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: but it only has video stuff in there | 16:10 |
| Dreki | what is the difference between sdl and glx packages? or do i have that right? | 16:10 |
| richardcavell | Klowny: Let her use the live CD but remember it will be very slow from the CD | 16:11 |
| Paavi2_0 | Dreki: glx is ati-drivel, sdl is a multimedia library | 16:11 |
| yoman | going to reboot to ubuntu livecd so I can tell you more | 16:11 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: erm no sry. so then the problem should be in audio configuration. | 16:11 |
| moltenbobcat | owner: are you trying to squash to a particular UID? | 16:11 |
| Paavi2_0 | s/drivel/driver | 16:11 |
| moltenbobcat | like all_squash? | 16:11 |
| MrPink08 | hey all, I am going to format my pc, what (asside from the obvious files I want to keep) should I backup to restore later? (I am upping from 8.04 to 9.04) | 16:11 |
| moltenbobcat | MrPink08: I'd backup your entire home directory | 16:12 |
| Dreki | paavi9_0: thanks | 16:12 |
| Dreki | Paavi2_0: thanks | 16:12 |
| moltenbobcat | MrPink08: and maybe if you customized anything in /etc lik a samaba config or something | 16:12 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: I see no *hp* files in /etc/init.d | 16:12 |
| Paavi2_0 | MrPink08: in addition to your home directory you might want to back up some selected settings that reside under /etc | 16:13 |
| richardcavell | alright guys I'm tired. L8r d00ds | 16:13 |
| Paavi2_0 | !u | 16:13 |

| MrPink08 | but okay home and etc | 16:14 |

| owner | moltenbobcat: i figured that would be one of the ways.. i just need root at all times... | 16:14 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: then your softkeys are only managed by hotkeys-setup. Have a look at system -> audio. Did you changed there something? can you change the volume with the volume control? | 16:14 |
| ryann | i received synaptic errors over and over, so i tried reinstalling the package, and now receive that error | 16:14 |

| bazhang | MrPink08, how does this relate to Ubuntu support? | 16:22 |
| MrPink08 | bazhang: it doesnt directly... although I am interested in running Augmented Reality on an Ubuntu Machine ;) | 16:22 |
| yoman | am I in the right server? | 16:23 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: oh yes system->pref.->audio or volume control (just a guess) | 16:23 |
| bazhang | MrPink08, is that a program? or just a chat topic? | 16:23 |
| patrin | i went to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773710 and have copy and pasted the step into *xorg.conf (/etc/x11) - gedit and i want to make sure i do step 3 correctly, so can anyone help guide me through this | 16:23 |
| bazhang | MrPink08, if the latter please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:23 |
| yoman | ok now I'm on livecd | 16:24 |
| l1m5 | i still can't kill the "downloading packages" window | 16:24 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: pref>sound? I do not see anything there to set the softkey to "pulse audio" for example. | 16:24 |
| yoman | gparted is not seeing anything | 16:24 |
| l1m5 | and i'm still getting the error "another synaptic is running" | 16:24 |
| MrPink08 | bazhang: Well its more a topic... its the fusion of 3D Models and realtime video, with a software based tracking system via webcam.... hard to explain... but ok Ill shut up ^^ | 16:24 |
| yoman | but fdisk sees everythinh | 16:24 |
| MrPink08 | l1m5: close the other Synaptic? -.- | 16:24 |
| tsr | sudo killall synaptic | 16:24 |
| topher_ | Anyone know how to fix Grub error 22? | 16:24 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: but are you sure, that the programs use pulse-audio? | 16:24 |
| LargePrime | topher_: how did you get it? | 16:24 |
| maximumbob | I need to be able to power off the display and start the screensaver from inside a c++ app I'm writing on ubuntu... What part of the distro controls these? I'm guessing Gnome and I'll check irc.gnome.org if that's right. | 16:25 |
| l1m5 | MrPink08, OK that allowed me to kill the other window, but i'm still having problems updating my system | 16:25 |
| l1m5 | is there a way to repair my synaptic installation | 16:25 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: perhaps alsa or oss | 16:25 |
| bazhang | l1m5, close all instances of add/remove synaptic etc | 16:25 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: Um, sometimes I have to change it cause of different programs. but what I want is to set the softkey to fit what I need to do | 16:25 |
| bazhang | l1m5, then sudo apt-get update (paste.ubuntu.com with errors , NOT here) | 16:26 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: I can not figgure how to set the soft key to fit what I need. | 16:26 |
| fccf | maximumbob: not sure where to direct you ... perhaps apm source | 16:26 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, now sudo killall synaptic isn't doing anything | 16:26 |
| l1m5 | i can't kill the process | 16:26 |
| moltenbobcat | So I have a eeepc 1000he netbook and it has a multitouch touchpad and I'm trying to figure out how to get three finger swipes to work for back and forward in firefox... anyone have any idea? | 16:26 |
| bazhang | l1m5, open up a terminal and type top | 16:27 |
| topher_ | Need help with Grub Error 22 | 16:27 |
| maximumbob | fccf: apm? I'm checking on gnome irc right now since I'm guessing that gnome controls that stuff. | 16:27 |
| patrin | edbian_ you still around | 16:27 |
| bazhang | topher_, dual boot? | 16:27 |
| bazhang | moltenbobcat, the eeepc forums are great for that | 16:27 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, top isn't showing any synaptic stuff | 16:27 |
| bazhang | eeeuser.com | 16:27 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: perhaps the problem is, that the softkey controls alsa master and you are using pulse-audio. so the softkeys controls the wrong 'sound device'. Do you get the point? | 16:27 |
| moltenbobcat | bazhang: thanks i'll take a look | 16:28 |
| FrozeL | Selam | 16:28 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, is there a "repair install" option for jaunty | 16:28 |
| l1m5 | i'm having tons of problems | 16:28 |
| bazhang | moltenbobcat, also #eeepc on freenode | 16:28 |
| TwoToneSpirit | moltenbobcat: I'm very interested in your discoveries on that front - keep us posted. | 16:28 |
| bazhang | l1m5, paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list | 16:28 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: ya. And you are thinking it is not configurable? | 16:28 |
| FrozeL | fuck ' | 16:29 |
| FrozeL | fuck ! | 16:29 |
| asjdhaksd | ! | 16:29 |

| yoman1 | anyone know how to solve grub error 18? | 16:29 |
| LargePrime | togher_ one sec k? need to edit grub. I assume windows was first, added ubuntu, and deleted some other partition in windows | 16:29 |
| chaosphere | so first question is: when you say, you see a popup when you press the buttons what are they actually changing? | 16:29 |
| TwoToneSpirit | chaosphere, largeprime: I had the same problem when I upgraded to Jaunty, and then again when I bought a USB Sound device. I just go to System-Preference-Sound every time I need to change it. A little annoying. | 16:29 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: so first question is: when you say, you see a popup when you press the buttons what are they actually changing? | 16:30 |
| yoman1 | gparted is not seeing any partition | 16:30 |
| fccf | maximumbob: advanced power managemnet --- gnome is the gui ... you need to find the hardware control to put a moniter into standby | 16:30 |
| moltenbobcat | TwoToneSpirit: I'll let you know if I find anything | 16:30 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: Hmmk. | 16:30 |
| phenom | Any one familiar with the difference betwwen the "ksplice" package vs the ksplice-uptrack.deb package? | 16:30 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: ya. And once I know that, How do I get it to work? | 16:30 |
| fccf | maximumbob: and this is offtopic here | 16:30 |
| klown | TwoToneSpirit: chaosphere, LargePrime, what was the issue? | 16:30 |
| phenom | Any one familiar with the difference betwwen the "ksplice" package in the ubuntu repo vs the ksplice-uptrack.deb package? * | 16:30 |
| maximumbob | fccf: I was coming here as the first stop to figure out where to go | 16:30 |
| maximumbob | Which you're helping me with :p | 16:31 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere: TwoToneSpirit klown I can not figgure how to set the volume soft key to fit what I need. | 16:31 |
| TwoToneSpirit | klown: That, in Intrepid and prior, changing the volume using the tray icon or shortcut keys seemed to always modify the "master" for the current sound device. In Jaunty, at least for me, it only modifies the master for the device set in System-Preferences-Sound | 16:31 |
| yoman1 | I can see partitions on fdisk but not on gparted | 16:31 |
| tyler_d | how do I find out the exact time of a reboot via terminal? | 16:31 |
| LargePrime | togher_ sorry for the delay. give me a sec to fix this. | 16:31 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: It's fine, take your time. | 16:32 |
| LargePrime | topher_ sorry for the delay. give me a sec to fix this. | 16:32 |
| maximumbob | And fccf: apm looks like it's for putting the whole system in standby, not just the monitor? | 16:32 |
| grawity | tyler_d: 'last' maybe? | 16:32 |
| klown | TwoToneSpirit, LargePrime, ok, different issue than what I'm having. | 16:32 |
| ccooke | Hmm. Anyone know about a bug in compiz that causes terminal backgrounds to become invisible every now and then? | 16:32 |
| phenom | ksplice has already failed me, and I was wondering if ksplice-uptrack is supposed to handle all distro updates, vs only the ones that require rebooting etc, as I've recently run the reg update manager and have installed updates that require a reboot. :/ | 16:32 |
| maximumbob | fccf: think I found it, thanks for help | 16:32 |
| yoman1 | ah dunno how to fix this grub error 18 if not making a partition at the very first 100 mb | 16:32 |
| yoman1 | so redimension the win xp partition | 16:33 |
| Chri1 | I'm glad that the ubuntu docs cover most situations I'll ever need to deal with. | 16:33 |
| Chri1 | Now i know that i have to remember to specify to my parents not to install windows and overwrite GRUB. | 16:33 |
| lianimator | has anyone compiled a scanner with flex? I'm getting "undefined reference to `yylex'", whereas on cygwin, it compiles. | 16:33 |
| klown | Is there a way to set up the sound device to automatically switch to mic/headset when my usb headset is plugged in? | 16:33 |
| CMooney | Does anyone else have issues with really slow openssh servers in Jaunty? | 16:33 |
| yoman1 | grub error 18_ | 16:33 |
| yoman1 | ? | 16:34 |
| rolo | Hiya. This morning, all of a sudden, Jaunty won't see my wired network connection, it just says "wired network disconnected". It's working fine on Jaunty in my laptop through the same cable, just not on my desktop. Any ideas why this may have suddenly happened? Cheers. | 16:34 |
| LargePrime | ha, thats it. thanks chaosphere | 16:34 |
| l1m5 | so i ran the sudo apt-get update | 16:34 |
| l1m5 | and updates popped up | 16:34 |
| l1m5 | froze again | 16:35 |
| l1m5 | i tried clicking settings | 16:35 |
| l1m5 | froze up again | 16:35 |
| FloodBot2 | l1m5: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:35 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: so not changing the softkeys but changing the sound device, volume tray? | 16:35 |
| LargePrime | topher_ sorry for the delay. K did you install windows first? | 16:35 |
| bazhang | l1m5, dont use the enter key so much | 16:35 |
| ohir | CMooney: define 'really slow' | 16:35 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, sorry | 16:35 |
| fccf | maximumbob: xset dmps force standby | 16:35 |
| MrPink08 | "Cannot create Symbolic Link, Operation not permitted" even though I ran with sudo... why is this ? | 16:35 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, is there anyway to completely reinstall synaptic | 16:35 |
| altehupe | 1lm5: is the partition full? | 16:35 |
| bazhang | l1m5, first you need to do updates from the command line as I instructed; and paste.ubuntu.com with the errors | 16:36 |
| LargePrime | chaosphere set the default mixer tracks to what was using seemed to work | 16:36 |
| bazhang | l1m5, its nothing to do with synaptic | 16:36 |
| LargePrime | topher_: you here? | 16:36 |
| topher_ | Large: I reformatted my HDD and installed it with Ubuntu 4.09. | 16:36 |
| chaosphere | LargePrime: ok cool that it works | 16:36 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/218040/ | 16:36 |
| nerdy_kid2 | were are smb shares mounted? | 16:36 |
| LargePrime | topher_: then? | 16:36 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: I was trying to partition off my HDD and deleted the extra 2 partitions. | 16:37 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: Rebooted my PC, and got Grub Error 22. | 16:37 |
| LargePrime | topher_: wait. you formatted one partition of a multi | 16:37 |
| yoman1 | Hi how can I create a complete backup of data and programs? dd or tar? is it completely safe? | 16:37 |
| bazhang | l1m5, now : cat /etc/apt/sources.list ---> paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url | 16:37 |
| maximumbob | fccf: that's exactly what I found :p | 16:37 |
| LargePrime | topher_: then installed 4.09 | 16:37 |
| bazhang | l1m5, also what version of Ubuntu is this | 16:38 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: I completely reformated. | 16:38 |
| nerdy_kid2 | were are smb shares mounted? | 16:38 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, jaunty | 16:38 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: Only thing on my PC right now is WoW and Ubuntu. | 16:38 |
| LargePrime | topher_: then partitioned, then installed? | 16:38 |
| Paavi2_0 | nerdy_kid2: depends on config | 16:38 |
| bazhang | l1m5, okay, please paste.ubuntu.com with the sources.list | 16:38 |
| yoman1 | any idea? | 16:38 |
| CMooney | ohir like minutes to get a password prompt | 16:38 |
| === john is now known as Guest34495 | ||
| nerdy_kid2 | Paavi2_0 i just have default config | 16:38 |
| Paavi2_0 | nerdy_kid2: then look at your config, it says it all there | 16:39 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: I reformatted, Installed Ubuntu, and then used the Partition editor to delete the other small partitions. | 16:39 |
| ILMAN | hey | 16:39 |
| nerdy_kid2 | Paavi2_0 were is the file | 16:39 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/218042/ | 16:39 |

| rolo | Hiya. This morning, all of a sudden, Jaunty won't see my wired network connection, it just says "wired network disconnected". It's working fine on Jaunty in my laptop through the same cable, just not on my desktop. Any ideas why this may have suddenly happened? Cheers. | 16:39 |
| LargePrime | topher_: k | 16:39 |
| ILMAN | i cant watch windows-1255 hebrew | 16:39 |
| ILMAN | :\ | 16:39 |
| moltenbobcat | rolo: have you tried doing a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 16:40 |
| LargePrime | are you on the machine now? | 16:40 |
| moltenbobcat | oh just try to enable and disable it with the check box in newtork manager | 16:40 |
| rolo | thanks! Just tried that... just says "* Reconfiguring network interfaces [OK]" and still broken | 16:40 |
| LargePrime | topher_: are on the machine now | 16:40 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: Yes, I'm running Ubuntu via disc. | 16:40 |
| moltenbobcat | rolo: yeah if you are using network manager I believe that does nothing | 16:41 |
| LargePrime | ok, you can use terminal? | 16:41 |
| bazhang | l1m5, what about when you try to install packages from the command line | 16:41 |
| billy | hello everyone | 16:41 |
| rolo | Yeah | 16:41 |
| nerdy_kid2 | were is smbs config file? dont know the package name to look for.... | 16:41 |
| moltenbobcat | rolan if you right click on your network icon by the clock | 16:41 |
| moltenbobcat | uncheck the enable | 16:41 |
| LargePrime | topher_: you can use terminal? | 16:41 |
| moltenbobcat | and then recheck it | 16:41 |
| moltenbobcat | does that fix it? | 16:41 |
| FloodBot2 | moltenbobcat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:41 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, i have had no problems in the past doing this | 16:41 |
| Guest34495 | I'm trying to open Hardware Devices so I could install an ATI driver.. it just keeps "searching" for drivers, taking too long. It never does this.. | 16:41 |
| indus | who knows anything about tv tuner cards | 16:41 |
| Guest34495 | hardware drivers i mean | 16:41 |
| nerdy_kid2 | were is smbs config file? dont know the package name to look for.... | 16:42 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: Yes, I can use Terminal. | 16:42 |
| klown | rolo: didnt you install wicd the other day? | 16:42 |
| LargePrime | indus: if you find a good one let me know | 16:42 |
| ILMAN | billy: where is the download ? | 16:42 |
| bazhang | l1m5, what about now; try to install something small like vrms | 16:42 |
| rolo | Tried untick, says it';s disconnected, then retick, same as before | 16:42 |
| ILMAN | vrms? | 16:42 |
| ILMAN | what is it ? | 16:42 |
| indus | pinnacle pctv iam usinh | 16:42 |
| billy | ILMAN what? | 16:42 |
| rolo | I see there's some problems mentioned with DHCP and jaunty. I wonder if I should try putting manual details in? | 16:42 |
| sandos | are there any instructions somewhere for debugging flash? my flashplayer-nonfree locks up after max 4 mins of browsing, and I cant fix it | 16:42 |
| LargePrime | topher_: can you cd to /boot/grub and sudo gedit menu.lst? | 16:42 |
| indus | LargePrime: pinnacle pctv 50 i seems fine,but i need to configure remo | 16:43 |
| indus | te | 16:43 |
| rolo | dhclient says "No DHCPOFFERS received" | 16:43 |
| bastidrazor | LargePrime, topher_ with gedit use gksudo | 16:43 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, yes vrms installed just fine from command line | 16:43 |
| bazhang | rolo, wireless? | 16:43 |
| rolo | Jaunty laptop I'm using now on the same wired network is fine with DHCP tho | 16:43 |
| rolo | bazhang: wired | 16:43 |
| indus | LargePrime: but mythtv is way too overrated, iam using tv time which tuned my channels | 16:43 |
| LargePrime | bastidrazor: can you link me why? | 16:43 |
| indus | mythtv dont tune indian channels :( | 16:43 |
| bazhang | l1m5, when did this start happening? | 16:43 |
| Paavi2_0 | nerdy_kid2: it's under /etc as almost all the "normal" configs | 16:43 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, yesterday | 16:44 |
| topher_ | LargePrime Bastidrazor: I need a little walkthrough since I'm a Ubuntu's beginner. | 16:44 |
| l1m5 | it ran updates fine and now im having all kinds of weird problems updating | 16:44 |
| Paavi2_0 | nerdy_kid2: in this case /etc/smb.conf | 16:44 |
| bazhang | l1m5, following an update? or installation or other | 16:44 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, i also can't get my trash to appear on the panel | 16:44 |
| nerdy_kid2 | Paavi2_0 thanks sorry didnt know that | 16:44 |
| bastidrazor | !gksudo > LargePrime | 16:44 |
| ubottu | LargePrime, please see my private message | 16:44 |
| rolo | it did tell me there were updates available although now it cant install them coz of no connection. i wonder if an update broke the networking which means it couldnt finish? | 16:44 |
| l1m5 | l1m5, i believe it was following an update | 16:44 |
| bazhang | rolo, does ifconfig show eth0 | 16:44 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, i believe it was following an update | 16:44 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, but i'm not absolutely sure | 16:44 |
| rolo | bazhang: yes, ifconfig shows eth0 but no IP address or subnet | 16:45 |
| Guest34495 | I'm trying to open HARDWARE DRIVERS but it just keeps loading, nothings happening.............................................................. i want to install ATI proprietory drivers | 16:45 |
| LargePrime | topher_: open terminal gksudo /boot/gurb/menu.lst something like that. rather new at ubuntu myself | 16:45 |
| rolo | If I compare it to whats on my laptop it's similar output but missing the IP address and subnet part | 16:45 |
| LargePrime | bastidrazor: epic fail | 16:45 |
| Paavi2_0 | nerdy_kid2: next time read the ubuntu documentation, please! :) https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html | 16:45 |
| bazhang | l1m5, your sources.list look good, and the updates and installs work from the command line, this is very odd; how much ram on your machine? could be a bug as well | 16:45 |
| MaarekStele | l1m5: I'd say that it's the network. If you attempt to update before a connection is made to the internet, you'll see that problem. I've ran into it once or twice, now I just wait for the connection to take place | 16:45 |
| LargePrime | !gksudo|largeprime | 16:46 |
| ubottu | LargePrime, please see my private message | 16:46 |
| nerdy_kid2 | Paavi2_0 thanks for link will read | 16:46 |
| l1m5 | MaarekStele, I don't think this is the problem as it occurs both at home and at work with separate connections | 16:46 |
| thiebaude | MaarekStele: yea, i had that problem before | 16:46 |
| bazhang | Guest34495, no need for the ..... what ati card and which version of ubuntu | 16:46 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, i have 4gb of ram | 16:46 |
| MaarekStele | l1m5: is there anything in the update list that doesn't get updated... like UbuntuOne? | 16:46 |
| LargePrime | topher_: you get it open? | 16:46 |
| bazhang | l1m5, could be a theme then, (might try changing one) or video issue | 16:46 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: That command didn't work. | 16:47 |
| LargePrime | bastidrazor: thanks much | 16:47 |
| Guest34495 | bazhang sorry I was holding that while... thinking.. anyways HD4670. Ubuntu Jaunty, the latest | 16:47 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, i could try that. is there a way to do a complete 'repair install' of the OS | 16:47 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, i need this macine for work and don't really have time to diagnose this seemingly random problem | 16:47 |
| topher_ | Largeprime: gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst | 16:47 |
| bazhang | Guest34495, the fglrx? that seems to be very problematic in Jaunty, best stick with the radeon driver (open source one) | 16:47 |
| topher_ | Largeprime: Is that correct? | 16:47 |
| rolo | Any other ideas? | 16:47 |
| rolo | I got a job interview tomorrow and really need a network connection :s | 16:48 |
| Guest34495 | bazhang What do you mean? Do I already have the radeon driver? | 16:48 |
| MaarekStele | l1m5: alright, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update | 16:48 |
| bastidrazor | LargePrime, :) | 16:48 |
| MaarekStele | l1m5: alright, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:48 |
| bazhang | l1m5, try the livecd, just use the command line, or try some of my other suggestions | 16:48 |
| Guest34495 | bazhang the fglrx driver fixed my cursor problem the last time.. my cursor's all messed up.. | 16:48 |
| LargePrime | topher_: gksudo gedit and we will nav to there | 16:48 |
| l1m5 | MaarekStele, I have already done that | 16:48 |
| bazhang | l1m5, also make sure you are completely up to date (upgraded) | 16:48 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, how can i do this if i can't update? | 16:49 |
| bazhang | l1m5, you just said you could via the command line | 16:49 |
| l1m5 | yeah but when i do the sudo apt-get update it launches the update manager that freezes | 16:49 |
| bazhang | l1m5, now try sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:49 |
| LargePrime | topher_: you get it open? | 16:49 |
| MaarekStele | bazhang: I asked that | 16:49 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: Yes. | 16:49 |
| bazhang | l1m5, launches? how are you invoking it? | 16:50 |
| klown | rolo: did you try to specify an ip address? | 16:50 |
| LargePrime | topher_: nav to root of filesystem, then boot, then grub | 16:50 |
| albertico | hi | 16:50 |
| l1m5 | bazhang, idk when i type sudo apt-get update it downloads some info which i posted earlier and then launches the update manager | 16:50 |
| l1m5 | which then freezes | 16:50 |
| rolo | klown: hi. I do that in the network manager applet? I'll try again now. i did it before, but it didn't show up in ifconfig. I'll try agian now. | 16:50 |
| rolo | I only have "eth0 auto" is that the right place to put it? | 16:51 |
| bazhang | l1m5, simply type sudo apt-get upgrade (nothing else) | 16:51 |
| topher_ | LargePrime: The only thing that opened up is Unsaved Document, is that correct? | 16:51 |
| l1m5 | ok that appears to have worked and installed | 16:51 |
| rolo | klown: ah yeah, I have manual details in there, but they dont show up in efconfig | 16:51 |
| albertico | on my new ubuntu 9.04 installation, the kacpid process is eating up my processor, does anyone know how to fix this? | 16:51 |
| l1m5 | i guess i will just update manually from command line occasionally | 16:51 |
| Guest34495 | bazhang is the open source radeon drivers: xserver-xorg-video-radeon ? | 16:51 |

| Ti-dev | trashbarg: ok...umm...well to start with, I issue the command, "make linux-dri-x86". It ends with some error messages that I can't seem to figure out. It ends like so, dri2.o returns Error 1, subdirs Error 1, default Error1 and linux-dri-x86 Error2...This isn't the actual the full set of errors though... | 17:23 |

| prince_jammys | ILMAN: filezilla is pretty popular. | 17:24 |
| bazhang | ILMAN, choose one yourself. | 17:24 |
| rolo_ | dude: done that, still dest host unreachable | 17:24 |
| LargePrime | albertico: what pavillion? | 17:24 |
| rolo_ | netstat -r now shows that default route with my gateway correctly, plus two "empty" ones. | 17:24 |

| albertico | LargePrime: It did worked on 8.04 | 17:26 |
| klown | rolo_: ok. | 17:27 |
| dude | klown: think networkmanager would say that the 'Device is not managed' if there was something in interfaces. From my own exp. | 17:27 |
| dude | as opposed to 'Disconnected' | 17:27 |
| Ti-dev | trashbarg: dri2.c:117: error: ‘xDRI2ConnectReq’ has no member named ‘window’. Well that's the first line that starts with "error:" :D | 17:27 |

| edbian | FreeFull: Than I have no idea. | 17:28 |
| dude | well ifconfig would say what MAC-ADRESS it has, and the mac says what model it is :) | 17:28 |
| rolo_ | But presumable that wouldn't stop me pinging the gateway | 17:28 |
| klown | rolo_: doesnt list dns? | 17:28 |

| dude | oh yeah, nameserver ;) | 17:33 |
| ianessex | hoe do i do that id the driver is restricted does that mean i cannot use my existing wireless set up to connect | 17:33 |

| hxc__ | how can i add? | 17:38 |
| bazhang | tanath, is that radeonhd? | 17:38 |

| tanath | bazhang, yes | 17:39 |

The dude with the prob seemed to have enabled "dri2" at compilation. To make a long story short, do I have to rebuild my xorg server?? | 17:40 |

| edbian | mipnamic: try reading "man testdisk" :) | 17:41 |
| lensyap1011 | Whoops I mounted something multiple times... does that matter? | 17:41 |
| rolo_ | anyway I can apply the updates without a network connection? | 17:41 |

| Spad-XIII | might be a nice additional !command perhaps? !wireless .. try installing the linux-backports-modules-jaunty .. | 17:42 |
| Klowny | go figure lol | 17:42 |
| dude | rolo_: the command 'sudo tail -f /var/log/*' is kinda good for debugging | 17:42 |
| Klowny | anyone use frostwire on ubuntu? | 17:43 |
| dude | rolo_: yeah it's possible , just do apt-get upgrade, then copy that list, download the packages and install them | 17:43 |
| Klowny | my sister uses it so i need to get it working correctly | 17:43 |
| rolo_ | thanks | 17:43 |
| fjordlord_ | hello how do i choose a file to open automatically with a specific program? | 17:43 |
| maxd | hwo do i access the squid-cgi interface ? :) | 17:43 |
| tanath | bazhang, i take it there should be something there? | 17:43 |
| dude | rolo_: just use a usb-stick, copying the text-file with packages, downloading them with apt-get on the other comp, then you could use nautilus to install them later on | 17:43 |
| danbhfive | !frostwire > Klowny | 17:44 |

| lensyap1011 | lo loh well i umounted it now... hopefully my data will be fine. it's not that important anyway | 17:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | anyone here familiar with ispconfig or knows where i can get help with it? | 17:44 |
| bazhang | tanath, for the fglrx? you can try it, but from all accounts unless you have the radeonhd it will be very problematic at best | 17:44 |
| klown | normally it starts at the beginning of the iptable. | 17:44 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, ifconfig? what is ispconfig | 17:44 |
| tanath | bazhang, things are very problematic right now >.< | 17:44 |
| fjordlord_ | for example i want AUDICIOUS for mp3s now it opens with Movie Player per automatique | 17:44 |
| Klowny | thanks for that dan but that doesn't help me, already been to that lol | 17:45 |
| trashbarg | Ti-dev: How do you come to compiling the module? | 17:45 |
| tanath | bazhang, my screen is fuzzy | 17:45 |
| bazhang | tanath, true, but the open sources one is less problematic at this point | 17:45 |
| tanath | bazhang, and text quickly becomes unreadable | 17:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bazhang: http://www.ispconfig.org/index.htm | 17:45 |
| Ti-dev | trashbarg: yeah, I think I got it...I think I missed an option for "./configure"..I'll try it now..thanks..I'm following this guide: http://www.mesa3d.org/autoconf.html | 17:45 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, what are you trying to do | 17:45 |
| danbhfive | Klowny: are you using the sun-java? | 17:45 |
| Ti-dev | trashbarg: I'm sorry, didn't quite get you? | 17:45 |

| Klowny | wait edbian what will that do? lol | 17:55 |
| edbian | Klowny: It will make a symlink. Similar to a "shortcut" in windows | 17:55 |

| switch10_ | liveCD: do you mean you have an install and you are using the live cd to change it? | 17:56 |
| edbian | Klowny: Now place that folder in /music (the link not the original) | 17:56 |
| liveCD | switch10_: exactly | 17:56 |
| Klowny | ok i did | 17:56 |
| trashbarg | Ti-dev, sorry, i cant help you with that, but you should ask at #xorg. Comiling the server isnt a good idea, imo ubuntu is not the best system if you are about building your own binaries. But you could give it a try ;) | 17:57 |
| mabus | k so how do I use NetworkManager on the command line guise? | 17:57 |
| edbian | Now if you place a file in /home/bobby/frostwire/saved a shortcut to that file will show up in /home/bobby/music. | 17:57 |
| Ti-dev | trashbarg: hey I think I got it...I missed out some additional operators to include with "./configure" especially, "--with-driver=dri" | 17:57 |
| switch10_ | liveCD boot the live cd, mount your drive, and you're good to go | 17:57 |
| switch10_ | hard drive | 17:57 |
| Klowny | that doesn't help me edbian because my sister burns music | 17:57 |
| Ti-dev | trashbarg: hehe yeah, but the xorg dudes are rather rude.. | 17:57 |
| Klowny | and she will have everything messed up lol | 17:57 |
| edbian | Klowny: Frostwire is used to download music | 17:57 |
| Klowny | yes i know | 17:57 |
| Ti-dev | at least one or two of those tin's were.. | 17:58 |
| edbian | Klowny: Maybe I don't understand your problem well enough. Please explain | 17:58 |
| velcroshooz | is cpu scaling broken in 2.6.28-13? running inxi or other hardware spec apps with 2.6.28-11 showed processor clocked at 1400 mhz to 2700 mhz .. now in 2.6.28-13, it just shows 1400 mhz, what gives? | 17:58 |
| Klowny | perhaps a screenshot would be better edbian? | 17:58 |
| liveCD | switch10_: but when i tyeeped this to terminal sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst it shows just a blank page | 17:58 |

| RocketLauncher | edbian nope | 17:59 |
| RocketLauncher | edbian well i don't think... | 17:59 |
| C-S-B | velcroshooz: i think theres a module you may have to load.. | 17:59 |
| edbian | RocketLauncher: Then you can't drag windows onto other workspaces | 17:59 |
| linuxguy2009 | Is there any apps in the repos that can record or download streaming video from places like hulu.com etc? | 17:59 |

| edbian | RocketLauncher: Oohh!! Then I have no idea lol. Never set up a dual screen :( | 18:00 |
| liveCD | so how can i be super user with live cd | 18:00 |
| RocketLauncher | awww | 18:00 |
| RocketLauncher | :( | 18:00 |
| switch10_ | liveCD: because you are trying to access the boot list from the cd. you need to change the directory to your hard disk with the installation on it | 18:00 |
| Spad-XIII | is there a way to have tasque start up automatically and minimized ? i have the first step covered (via system -> prefs -> startup applications) | 18:00 |
| linuxguy2009 | liveCD: with livecd you are super user. | 18:00 |
| Klowny | trying to send it to you edbian | 18:00 |
| velcroshooz | C-S-B: that would be extremely annoying, as cpu scaling worked out of the box in -11 | 18:00 |
| Klowny | says waiting for transfer to begin | 18:00 |
| joel1 | liveCD: you have to cd into your hard drive | 18:00 |
| liveCD | switch10_: please say me how can i change directory then | 18:01 |
| edbian | Klowny: I see it. Mine says "starting..." | 18:01 |
| switch10_ | cd= change directory | 18:01 |
| Klowny | odd let me just upload it to flickr lol | 18:01 |
| Ti-dev | velcroshooz: what version of ubuntu are you using? you *could* try a newer kernel? | 18:01 |
| edbian | ok | 18:01 |
| Ti-dev | you get em in *.deb format | 18:01 |
| C-S-B | velcroshooz: im not he be all and end of all of cpu scaling knowledge, have you tried to see if the cpu-scaler applet works? | 18:01 |
| edbian | Klowny: Still at 0% for me. It's probably my network (I'm at work). | 18:01 |

| RocketLauncher | oh | 18:36 |
| Spliffster | ttye0: i have never tried that ... you might be able to connect to IMAPS with nc but it probybly won't be worth the hassle. maybe you might use your scripting language of your choice ... python, perl, etc. | 18:37 |

| careta | I have a clevo m746s with ubuntu 9.04 but my screen is at 800x600 instead of 1440x900. On screen properties it doesn't detect my screen... what can I do? | 18:50 |
| velcroshooz | Can anyone confirm, or deny cpu scaling working in 2.6.28-13 from the repos? | 18:50 |
| bobo | frostbite7: then, its not a valid theme. are you talking about when you drag the tar.gz file (or whatever it is) into the appearance window? | 18:50 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: I don't know anything about hexadecimal numbers; if my key were "0123456789" for example would it make a problem with my card if it were just entered as plain numbers. If it's important, do you have a recommendation for a good place to learn how to use hex? | 18:51 |
| Ti-dev | Out_Cold: first one = could be, second one, I thought so too and I recompiled "libdrm" which is a required set of libraries... | 18:51 |
| kowey | my computer has taken to hanging mysteriously (and more and more frequently) lately... [in particular, after I upgraded to 9.04, but a bit prior too] | 18:51 |

| Pici | dakarn, frostbite7: If you are using gnome you only need to drag the archive over the theme window and it will install it. | 18:51 |
| dcherniv | twig11: first off where do you get that key? if it doesnt use any letters its still a valid hex, ie 11:22:33:44:55 or 1122334455 is still a valid hex number | 18:52 |

| dakarn | frostbite7: it will have a subdirectory from the theme directory name that says gtk2.0 (if you manually do it -- i don't use gnome as a wm) | 18:52 |

| RocketLauncher | dakarn I'm not sure. I just went into Display Settings, and since both screens were mirroring, I unselected "mirroring".. | 19:02 |
| fccf | RocketLauncher: I think you need to setup to use twinview ... rightnow you are running a virtual setup... which I have never heard of | 19:02 |
| Ti-dev | Out_Cold: kk...hey I had downloaded a package from dri.freedesktop.org containing some mach64 drivers...will I need this? | 19:02 |

| om26er | plz any1 tell me which filesystem is fastest in ubuntu | 19:03 |
| RocketLauncher | superGear where? | 19:03 |
| dakarn | rocketlauncher: you should check your 2nd monitor setting and make sure 1) it's enabled 2) it uses a compatible resolution/refresh rate | 19:03 |
| superGear | ati i have no idea | 19:03 |
| shader | edbian: hmm? | 19:03 |
| Ti-dev | Out_Cold: It's a drm driver... | 19:03 |
| * superGear uses nvida | 19:03 | |
| edbian | shader: I don't think ubuntu supports architectures other than x86, amd_64, and powerpc | 19:03 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: With the card plugged in, network-manager hangs and wifi-radar won't even start. | 19:03 |
| * superGear thinks ATI is evil | 19:03 | |
| Ti-dev | okay, I *think* | 19:03 |
| dakarn | rocketlauncher: nvidia-settings | 19:03 |
| RocketLauncher | dakarn I changed the refresh rate on both monitors to 75, and it drags now... | 19:03 |
| wildc4rd | evening all | 19:03 |
| moltenbobcat | all we need now is gnome to let you have different wallpapers on each machine | 19:03 |
| superGear | dakarn, that wouldn't do him any good with ati | 19:04 |
| shader | edbian: it does, but I don't know how to convert it after the fact. They have separate installs, and there is supposedly a linux-lpia source package, but I don't know how to install it | 19:04 |
| om26er | which filesystem is fastest | 19:04 |
| superGear | NTFS | 19:04 |
| superGear | j/k | 19:04 |
| bazhang | moltenbobcat, that should be possible with compiz #compiz for more details | 19:04 |
| fccf | om26er: ext4 would be fastest if it is run natively ... although you could expierence problems as it is very new | 19:04 |
| legend2440 | RocketLauncher: http://hobbylobby.wordpress.com/2007/09/08/dual-monitors-in-ubuntu-xorgconf-driver-ati-card/ | 19:04 |

| moltenbobcat | bazhang: awesome I had no idea | 19:04 |
| om26er | fccf: so which other filesystem | 19:05 |
| dakarn | RocketLauncher: so it works now? | 19:05 |
| edbian | shader: I don't know :( | 19:05 |
| Ti-dev | Out_Cold: if you ask me, some geek accidentally copied the whole mesa3d.org site into /docs/ :D | 19:05 |

| dcherniv | twig11: did you use ndiswrapper to install driver? | 19:05 |
| dakarn | i didn't see the ATI -- all i saw was everyone saying nvidia | 19:05 |
| superGear | so is reiserfs and others | 19:05 |

| shazam | how do I stop an application from printing error messages to the console? | 19:05 |

| Ti-dev | yeah more like it :D | 19:05 |
| superGear | shazam, find the error and fix it or smthin | 19:05 |
| edbian | shader: Sounds to me like you're going to have to install some sort of image-linux-2.6.28-lpia package. Which would in turn basically be installing a new OS | 19:06 |
| Slart | Ali_nz: because vnc creates a new session when you connect | 19:06 |
| jrib | shader: redirect stderr to /dev/null | 19:06 |
| RocketLauncher | dakarn huh i just changed it to 85 and it works.. with different refresh rates. | 19:06 |
| jrib | arg | 19:06 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: Yes I did. gogeta wrote me a simple script to automate the re-entering of all the information each time , but it still involves entering a sudo password in terminal, which is fine for me but not good for other users who "just want it to work." | 19:06 |
| jrib | shazam: redirect stderr to /dev/null | 19:06 |
| Slart | Ali_nz: it's not like remote desktop or whatever it's called in windows | 19:06 |
| RocketLauncher | my bad, it couldn't apply | 19:06 |
| Ali_nz | Slart: how do I see if that remote session is still running? | 19:06 |
| dakarn | RocketLauncher: it was likely set on a defunct refresh rate | 19:06 |
| * jrib ponders banning everyone who does not have the first three letters of their nick unique | 19:06 | |
| dakarn | RocketLauncher: congrats =) | 19:06 |
| Slart | Ali_nz: if you want that you can use x11vnc.. that uses the currently running session | 19:06 |
| RocketLauncher | dakarn How do I have both monitors on different refresh rates? Not that I can get used to 75 oh my other monitor, but still | 19:06 |
| Slart | Ali_nz: not sure really.. "who" perhaps | 19:07 |
| dcherniv | twig11: you can create an exception for this script in /etc/sudoers so it doesnt ask for a password | 19:07 |
| shader | jrib: but then you could only have 26^3 users in the #ubuntu channel ;) | 19:07 |
| === Twilo|away is now known as Twilo | ||
| Ali_nz | Slart: yea because that "session" was running a big job - I am loath to start it again if I dont have to | 19:07 |
| dcherniv | twig11: and then run the script on login: xterm -e "sudo scriptname" | 19:07 |

| velcroshooz | Can anyone confirm, or deny cpu scaling working in 2.6.28-13 from the repos? | 19:13 |
| edbian | vadi: Do you have specific questions regarding the system beep (pc speaker) ?? | 19:13 |
| superGear | using cpufreq? | 19:13 |
| oskar- | velcroshooz: why should it not work? | 19:13 |
| vadi | No i thought its related with sound problem | 19:14 |
| edbian | velcroshooz: It depends on your processor as well. | 19:14 |
| Eloff | that's twice I've had to give up and restore from most recent backup after downloading the "important security updates" I'm disabling all updates this time. | 19:14 |
| velcroshooz | oskar-: because it isnt, and it was in 2.6.28-11 ootb | 19:14 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers ? | 19:14 |
| edbian | vadi: It might be but I doubt it. It's a completely different driver | 19:14 |
| edbian | vadi: Did you add the PCM slider? | 19:14 |
| jrib | shader: I'm not sure about your lpia question. I guess you need to grab the ubuntu-mobile installer right? | 19:14 |
| edbian | What are you using to test sound? | 19:14 |
| dcherniv | twig11: yea | 19:15 |
| Ti-dev | if you want to disable the system beep, "gksudo gedito /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf", add "blacklist pcspkr" to the end and that's it for "BEEP" each time you shutdown and/or reboot :D | 19:15 |

| edbian | velcroshooz: mmm. That's odd. IDK. Use the older kernel! :P | 19:16 |
| sseiersen | hmm | 19:16 |
| iceroot | fwaokda: your mainboard must support PAE, then you can use 4GB Ram (for one process) | 19:16 |
| Ti-dev | fwaokda: I've heard that only 64bit version, ubuntu will detect more than so much of ram... | 19:16 |

| iceroot | Ti-dev: no, ubuntu 32bit with PAE can also handle more then 4GB, but not more then 4GB for one process | 19:17 |
| jrib | sseiersen: you want to help with development? | 19:17 |
| edbian | fwaokda: The cut off is 3.5 GB. A 32 bit OS can only handle 3.5 GB of ram. to use more you need a 64 bit OS | 19:17 |

| bruenig | dcherniv: using gedit on /etc/sudoers is a bad idea. Visudo has syntax checking to make sure you don't completely mess up your sudo permissions settings. | 19:22 |
| iceroot | shane2peru_: i dont know what using, debian lenny is using syslogd, if i am correct ubuntu is using ksyslogd but dont know exactly | 19:22 |
| edbian | dcherniv: twig11: And BTW it should be gksu gedit | 19:22 |

| balloooza | amikrop: I have not used this before, so I guess I can't help much, but a good way to figure out exactly what the problem is, is to go to the website for the project (google it will usualy do it) and then read how to set it up, and see where things start going wrong, if it is a pidgen PLUGIN, then you might need to change the settings in pigden | 19:27 |

| fccf | Alan: do you have the updates repository enabled? | 19:32 |
| oskar- | velcroshooz: the code seems to be running and have recognized your cpu. is it perhaps an application incompatibility? somewhere in /proc or /sys are files, with you can set cpu frequency settings manually, if you write special arguments to them (like "echo xy > cpu_freq"). you could take a careful look in there to see, if it is generally working. then you could run the controlling app manually and see, if errors occur | 19:32 |

| dcherniv | alexnet: to achieve a same effect give the file 770 permissions, create a group, add these soon to be owners to that group and change group ownership of the file, chmod user:commongroup file | 19:34 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: on the upside, backspace puts it back :-/ | 19:34 |
| Out_Cold | Ti-dev, sorry bud haven't ever tried before | 19:34 |
| twig11 | grawity: I'm using visudo | 19:35 |
| grawity | twig11: visudo just calls your default editor. | 19:35 |
| Ti-dev | velcroshooz: what happened to the 2.6.30 kernel? | 19:35 |
| sivel | does anyone know where I could get some php5.3 packages from jaunty? is there a PPA for that? | 19:35 |
| grawity | twig11: does it say "GNU nano" on the first line? | 19:35 |
| Sly | My question is, It seems programs run as a normal user can not open ports below 1024??? Correct me if i am wrong. is there a way to allow any user to do this and not just su. | 19:35 |
| Slart | snewp: ah... wikipedia sayd bitmap fonts... just never heard of it.. thanks (I have no idea btw) | 19:35 |
| dcherniv | twig11: hm i dunno, i should cause vi to go into insert mode | 19:35 |
| Ti-dev | Out_Cold: oh kk, I'll just dig around...thanks for all the help man... | 19:35 |
| snewp | Slart: np | 19:36 |
| balloooza | sivel: I think php is in the default repos, need no ppa | 19:36 |
| Out_Cold | Ti-dev, hope you figure it out | 19:36 |
| sivel | balloooza: for PHP 5.2.x it is. I am looking for 5.3 | 19:36 |
| Ti-dev | thanks :D | 19:36 |
| twig11 | grawity: *slaps forehead* yeah it does. But I don't know how to use nano either. | 19:36 |
| theilluminatic | Ok, so I installed the most recent updates this morning, and after restarting, Volume Control doesn't open. This is a problem especially because my computer has this annoying thing where whenever you boot it up, the volume is reset to zero, and is muted. Is there a way to make it so I can open Volume Control again, and/or set the default volume to max and not muted? | 19:36 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: it's using nano | 19:36 |
| grawity | twig11: nano is the simplest one. | 19:37 |
| dcherniv | twig11: oh, well then its easy just go the bottom of the file with down arrow or pg down | 19:37 |
| grawity | twig11: just use arrow keys, and type. Use Ctrl-X to exit. | 19:37 |
| Slart | theilluminatic: what happens if you start gnome-volume-control from a terminal? | 19:37 |
| balloooza | sivel: do you need this for compatibility, because if it is not in the repositorys, it is most likely not stable enough, or widly used yet (basicly, I could go on, and tell you the dissadvantages of compiling) | 19:37 |
| dcherniv | twig11: and then paste this dcherniv@media-center:~$ cd /usr/share/locale | 19:37 |
| dcherniv | twig11: err ignore that ^ | 19:37 |
| balloooza | sivel: I could help you if you need it | 19:37 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: grawity: Yeah, now I just discovered that at last. duh! | 19:38 |
| dcherniv | twig11: paste this ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/yourscriptname | 19:38 |
| sivel | balloooza: I need to test compatibility with a product | 19:38 |
| sivel | balloooza: I installed the php 5.3 from dotdeb but it seems to be broken | 19:38 |
| silidan | pavucontrol gives out warnings: gtk warning, failed to set text from markup due to error, what can i do about it? | 19:38 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: to clarify, the script is written with just the commands separated by && no introductory stuff. is that definitely all that's needed for the system to know it's executable? | 19:39 |
| balloooza | sivel: that is exactly one of the things I would have said, somtimes those are maintaned less, you know there is a less noisy server channel called #ubuntu-server | 19:39 |
| theilluminatic | 'what happens if you start gnome-volume-control from a terminal?' I'm in xubuntu, and it says that the gnome one isn't installed, should I install it? | 19:39 |
| Amber_Johnson | twig11, you can add gtksudo in your script to make things run as root, like this :gtksudo firefox, will run firefox as root | 19:39 |
| sivel | balloooza: I will head over there | 19:39 |
| sivel | thanks | 19:39 |
| dcherniv | twig11: does it have #!/bin/bash as a first line? | 19:39 |
| dcherniv | twig11: you also have to make it executable with sudo chmod +x /bin/scriptname | 19:39 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: no it doesn't | 19:40 |
| Slart | theilluminatic: you can just put my nickname on the start of your message.. no need to repeat my question (although it did look kind of nice and easy to follow)... let me check something.. I'm not sure if xfce has it's own volume control app | 19:40 |
| Titan8990 | twig11, without a shebang you have to specify which interpreter to use like: bash script.sh | 19:41 |
| Titan8990 | twig11, or a python example: python script.py | 19:41 |
| dcherniv | twig11: add #!/bin/bash as first line, actually can you pastebin the script? | 19:41 |
| dcherniv | !pastebin | twig11 | 19:41 |
| ubottu | twig11: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 19:41 |
| n0gear | whats the command to see who are logged in to my computer? | 19:41 |
| grawity | n0gear: 'w', 'who', 'finger' | 19:42 |
| icedwater | Hey guys :) How do I change settings in GNOME so the desktop doesn't display contents of ~, but the contents of ~/Desktop instead? | 19:42 |
| n0gear | grawity: ty | 19:42 |

| alexnet | Continuing my group permissions issue earlier.... i created a group called "apacheandfriends" and then add the www-data user as well as myself to the group | 19:43 |
| erUSUL | icedwater: edit the variable in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 19:43 |
| balloooza | icedwater: I belive the desktop has a gconf somwhere, and ubuntu-tweak has a setting for that | 19:43 |
| gartral | icedwater: the default is too display the contents of /home/*/Desktop | 19:43 |
| showers | rythm box isn't making a sound | 19:43 |
| Apollo2366 | Is there a way to have a certain sound play whenever the GDM Login screen starts up, and then have another sound played upon success or failure of login? | 19:43 |
| grawity | icedwater: I'm sure it's in gconf somewhere... let me check. | 19:43 |
| alexnet | How should my Chown look? sudo chown www-data:apacheandfriends /file/ -R ??? | 19:44 |
| icedwater | erUSUL, balloooza, gartral, grawity: Thanks. | 19:44 |
| showers | I would like to play my mp3 files from the windows partition | 19:44 |
| balloooza | grawity: lol, that is what I said (I just went looking too) | 19:44 |
| grawity | icedwater: ah, /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir | 19:44 |
| icedwater | balloooza: I wouldn't be able to check ubuntu-tweak though. Not just yet. Will keep that in mind. | 19:44 |
| showers | it is easy enought to navigate over there and open the files | 19:44 |
| geirha | icedwater: /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home in gconf-editor | 19:44 |
| showers | but then the silence begins | 19:44 |
| Slart | theilluminatic: ok.. try starting xfce4-mixer instead.. see if you get an error message | 19:44 |
| icedwater | grawity: Hm, OK. So I uncheck that one? | 19:45 |
| Pici | !enter | 19:45 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 19:45 |
| alexnet | How do I assign file permissions to a GROUP ? | 19:45 |
| grawity | icedwater: if you want ~, it should be off. if you want ~/Desktop, it should be on,. | 19:45 |
| icedwater | Is it possible to set it to another folder? | 19:45 |
| JamesHoldsworth | Hi everyone, this isn't a question pertaining to linux itself, but a tutorial about linux. I found it a while ago, cleaned out my internet history, and I cant remember where to find it. I've been searching google for days. It was a really long ebook, not quite a tutorial, it had over 40 chapters, and described hardware, and the origins of binary and ascii and all that too | 19:45 |
| alexnet | !groups | 19:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about groups | 19:45 |
| alexnet | !group | 19:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about group | 19:46 |
| geirha | alexnet: chmod g+w file, will give write acces to the group, chmod g-w file will remove it etc... | 19:46 |
| dcherniv | twig11: alright put http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7e98a17c | 19:46 |
| theilluminatic | slart: thanks, that opened it and so I was able to set the volume to normal, do you know how I can make it default to being on? | 19:46 |
| alexnet | geirha chmod groupname+w /myfile/ ? | 19:46 |
| JamesHoldsworth | i know it's a little vague, I'm trying to think of more specific things to mention, like when I was looking for it I was looking for a terminal tutorial... I remember they showed a picture of a mobo, and it was really old lol. It was a grey drawing lol. lol. | 19:46 |
| showers | How do I download codecs for rythm player please | 19:46 |
| Slart | theilluminatic: nope.. no idea about that.. sorry | 19:46 |
| theilluminatic | ok, thanks anyway | 19:47 |
| Apollo2366 | Is there any way to configure the sound to play at the login screen? | 19:47 |
| Nan0fire | i have a problem with my hard disk. i did something wrong with Gparted and it has something to do with gpt/mbr partitioning tables (i think) and also with the ext4 | 19:47 |
| geirha | alexnet: No, first you need to run chgrp, to set the group as groupowner of the file | 19:47 |
| Pici | JamesHoldsworth: The linux terminal? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 19:47 |
| geirha | alexnet: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:47 |

| RocketLauncher | any solutions as of NOW? | 19:47 |
| JamesHoldsworth | it wasn't a ubuntu specific one. it was more of an overall linux tutoral | 19:47 |
| grawity | icedwater: I found ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs - open it in a text editor, fix, then logout and login | 19:47 |
| Pici | JamesHoldsworth: Maybe ##linux could help better then | 19:47 |
| JamesHoldsworth | ok lol thank you | 19:48 |

| Nan0fire | anyone has any idea ? | 19:49 |

| twig11 | dcherniv: did that. | 19:50 |
| devill | Nan0fire: what did u do exactly | 19:50 |
| Nan0fire | i messed up my harddisk and now i can't see the whole disk, except in the livcd of jaunty | 19:50 |
| Slart | RocketLauncher: ouch.. a bug from hoary coming to life like in a bad horror movie | 19:51 |
| dcherniv | twig11: cool did you finish sudoers part? | 19:51 |
| Nan0fire | i don't know i did a couple of things many times | 19:51 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: no sir/ma'm | 19:51 |
| dcherniv | twig11: hm, well save my version of the script in /bin/fixwifi | 19:51 |
| Nan0fire | devill: i did have ext4 partitions and i erased them with parted magic | 19:51 |
| RocketLauncher | Slart I coul always try a different WM besides Gnome, if I know for sure it will work :D | 19:51 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: I saved it in /bin/connect | 19:52 |
| dcherniv | twig11: then put this line in /etc/sudoers: ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/fixwifi | 19:52 |
| dcherniv | twig11: /bin/connect is probably not a good idea | 19:52 |
| devill | Nan0fire: parted magc? then? | 19:52 |
| grawity | dcherniv: um, you forgot the username before this line. | 19:52 |
| === edsoncanto is now known as Edson | ||
| twig11 | dcherniv: why not? I'll change it but why? | 19:53 |
| dcherniv | twig11: as there might be a script that exists with that name in ubuntu repos | 19:53 |
| geirha | dcherniv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers | 19:54 |
| devill | Nan0fire:during live session are u able to see ur whole hdd? | 19:54 |
| Slart | RocketLauncher: I would suggest opening that bug again.. attach a screenshot of your own and information on ubuntu version, flavour and so on | 19:54 |
| Nan0fire | devill i saw only a part of my drive there, not the whole thing (i think because parted magic couldnt percieve the ext4) so i tried to do something new and used on the part i could see the gpt partitioning table | 19:54 |
| dcherniv | grawity: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/fixwifi | 19:54 |
| neoteny | here's a silly question: on the volume control widget you scroll up to increase the volume if your mouse is in one location but when you mouse is in the other location you scroll down to increase the volume. am i the only one who thinks they should be in sync? | 19:54 |
| dcherniv | grawity: is that right? | 19:54 |
| RocketLauncher | Slart that bug dates to 2005 holy | 19:54 |
| Slart | RocketLauncher: I can't verify the bug since I just have one monitor attached.. | 19:54 |
| RocketLauncher | Slart and I will do that | 19:54 |
| Cube_ | hey, how can i get a tablet to work with ubuntu!? | 19:55 |
| Neo_Selen | can someone helpy me with a dual boot issue im having? | 19:55 |
| Nan0fire | devill: in the livecd sessions of jjaunty yes, in parted magic, i only see what i see in windows (half of my disk!) | 19:55 |
| Slart | RocketLauncher: indeed it does.. but it's been playing peekaboo every now and then. | 19:55 |
| geirha | dcherniv: That will give all users access to run that command as root, except that you're missing a space after NOPASSWD: | 19:55 |
| Nan0fire | do you understand the prob or should i tell more? | 19:55 |
| dcherniv | geirha: yea thats the idea | 19:56 |
| RoyL | hi | 19:56 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD :/bin/fixwifi like that? | 19:56 |
| Cube_ | anybody? | 19:56 |
| RocketLauncher | Slart damnit I just.. "scrot -m" | 19:56 |
| RocketLauncher | Slart and it takes a screenshot perfectly | 19:56 |
| dcherniv | twig11: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/fixwifi | 19:56 |
| RocketLauncher | Slart Only thing is I got to join this screenshot together with the one of the other half. | 19:56 |
| Radtoo | neoteny: In sync with...? If you want to suggest a feature that sounds more like a gnome bugtracker thing than ubuntu specifically. | 19:57 |
| Nan0fire | devill: any ideas? | 19:57 |
| Slart | RocketLauncher: ah.. but that's another app.. but still.. if that works for you.. great =) | 19:57 |
| devill | Nan0fire: use fdisk .. | 19:57 |
| Nan0fire | i tried already | 19:57 |
| devill | Nan0fire: what do u see | 19:57 |
| Nan0fire | i see all i guess.. i deleted all partitions with it, and i made a new ntfs with it ( with help of an irc buddy) | 19:58 |
| albertico | has anyone had any issues with the intel 4965 wireless on ubuntu 9.04?? | 19:58 |
| devill | Nan0fire:u can recover the partition table ..if it hasnt lost already... | 19:58 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: okay how do I save and quit visudo? | 19:59 |
| neoteny | Radtoo, it might be gnome. when you click on the icon and it pulls up the slider when your mouse is on the icon scrolling up increases the volume. however if you move your mouse up to the slider you scroll down to increase the volume. seems to the scrolling should be consistent. | 19:59 |
| === devill is now known as devil | ||
| dcherniv | twig11: ctrl+x | 19:59 |
| jbk` | twig11: same as quitting + saving in vim | 19:59 |
| RoyL | hi | 19:59 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: and I added a comment before the line: #Allows all users to run the following script as root. I can do that right? | 19:59 |
| === Edson is now known as edson | ||
| neoteny | Radtoo, right now i'm in the information gathering phase :) | 20:00 |
| dcherniv | twig11: yea thats fine | 20:00 |
| Nan0fire | devill i erased, repartition-tabled, partitoined everyting a couple of times so i don't think there's a way back :S | 20:00 |
| alexnet | Im having a permissions related problem. I have created a group that contains my username and apache as members. I then recursively gave permissions to a folder for root:mygroup. The members of my group cannot write to teh folder (the chmod settings are okay). Is there a way to see if maybe i messed up the group creation? | 20:00 |

| Lenaud01 | anyone else have this issue? | 20:00 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: after messing a few things up I'm ultra cautious. | 20:00 |

| yurik | Is 32bit of 64bit best? | 20:01 |
| sivel | I have seen reference to an ubuntu experimental repository. is anyone aware of such a repo? | 20:01 |
| RocketLauncher | I can take a screenshot of my other monitor using scrot -m, but I don't want to have to take two screenshots and put them together. Any better solutions? | 20:01 |
| dcherniv | twig11: yes | 20:01 |
| devil | Nan0fire:dnt lose hope .theres always a chance...have u used testdisk?. | 20:01 |
| Lenaud01 | Pici I got the .deb from sun | 20:01 |
| RoyL | anyone free to help me? | 20:01 |
| dcherniv | twig11: save it | 20:01 |
| RocketLauncher | else what's a quick way to join two images together like that | 20:01 |
| Nan0fire | devill, no | 20:01 |
| Pici | Lenaud01: Then I would ask in #vbox then | 20:01 |
| Lenaud01 | thanks | 20:01 |
| Radtoo | neoteny: ah, I'd see if this also happens for me but I've only got wmii and kde4 installed at the moment. but yes, this sounds like a bug. | 20:02 |
| gartral | yurik: 32 if your gaming, 64 if your doing high math | 20:02 |

| RoyL | Any Ubuntu experts here? I need some help | 20:03 |
| devil | Nan0fire: yups.. | 20:03 |
| Pici | !ask | RoyL | 20:03 |
| ubottu | RoyL: 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. :-) | 20:03 |
| Radtoo | yurik: 64bit is most useful if you have a lot of ram or do maths intensive processing (video encoding, actual math solving, ...). otherwise 32bit is slightly less problematic and you dont usually miss out on anything | 20:03 |
| neoteny | RoyL, maybe us mere non experts can help. | 20:03 |
| devil | ivan_: use startx | 20:04 |
| Nan0fire | devil ok so i need to down an burn " testdisk" ? | 20:04 |
| dcherniv | twig11: hm i dunno, never used visudo. maybe someone else can clarify why it wants to save to a .tmp filke | 20:04 |
| grawity | dcherniv: because visudo does that to make sure you didn't made any syntax errors. | 20:04 |
| majikman | how do i use dpkg to list available packages to install? | 20:04 |
| devil | Nan0fire:no just install it on ur machine | 20:04 |
| ivan_ | thanks | 20:04 |
| vega | RoyL: probably not, this is only official ubuntu support channel.. | 20:04 |
| Pici | twig11: Thats normal, just save and quit and it will do its thing. | 20:04 |

| RoyL | I have a prob where the keybrd stops working in Jaunty but only when using Firefox 3.5 | 20:04 |

| ivan_ | do you know why it would just randomly start in text mode? | 20:05 |
| yurik | Radtoo: it will be a web server/irc server, just _servers_ basically... what do u suggest? | 20:05 |
| Pici | twig11: ctrl-o to save (don't change the filename) and then ctrl-x | 20:05 |
| ojii | hi all, i installed firefox 3.5 using apt-get install firefox-3.5 but i still have firefox-3.0 installed and that's the one that opens if i go applications->internet->firefox | 20:05 |
| ojii | how can i upgrade to 3.5? | 20:05 |
| Pici | !ff35 | read this ojii | 20:05 |
| ubottu | read this ojii: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 20:05 |
| Radtoo | yurik: 32bit will be fine, I'm sure. you'll probably save a little time every now and then as compared to 64 bit where you occasionally solve problems. and performance won't be impacted by 32bit. | 20:05 |
| OttifantSir | A networking question: I have a DIR-655 and a DI-524.

Any ide on how to enable the DI-524 as an extender? Preferrably keeping Gigabit-connectivity between my server and media-PC (Probably need a switch for that, right?) | 20:05 |
| fccf | majikman: that would be a long list.. have you tried aptitude | 20:05 |
| ojii | shiretoko? wtf | 20:06 |
| devil | Nan0fire:it works on both the os.. | 20:06 |
| Pici | ojii: Please mind your language here. | 20:06 |
| majikman | fccf, no, but i like being able to grep and do other text manipulations on my output | 20:06 |
| devil | Nan0fire:google it.. | 20:06 |
| click_here | I have no sound on my ubuntu eee pc install. | 20:06 |

| saddvdperson | Hi. I'm having a hard time getting my DVD to play. I have restricted-extra drivers and libcss stuff installed, and I rebooted. I can get the menu to show and it looks great, but the actual movie is all garbled. What can I do to make it play properly? | 20:41 |
| saddvdperson | I've tried it in both totem and VLC, and it works the same way (doesn't work the same way)... :( | 20:42 |
| erUSUL | saddvdperson: tried different players ? xine-ui is great for dvd's also vlc ... totem (the default one) is notsogreat | 20:42 |

| saddvdperson | It's this new Haunting in Connecticut DVD. Is there maybe some lame encryption on it that I need to install something more to see properly? | 20:44 |

| twig11 | dcherniv: okay I'm trying it out so I might not see a response from you for a minute | 20:53 |
| stroyan | tonii: If you do "ps -ef | grep X" you should see a /usr/X11R6/bin/X line. The first argument to that would be the DISPLAY name. | 20:53 |
| mzz | soreau: well, I'm not sure if it's my modesetting stuff or my temporary karmic install. I suspect it's either an initramfs issue or a kernel parameter issue, and it doesn't even attempt to resume. | 20:53 |

| lstarnes | twig11: wait, I got the wrong nick. That was for theTroy | 20:55 |
| twig11 | lstarnes: okay. | 20:55 |
| mzz | erUSUL: no "noresume" in sight. It does boot fine, it just never even tries to resume (at least not as far as I notice) | 20:55 |
| dcherniv | twig11: yea that script that you wrote make it executable, chmod +x scriptname | 20:55 |
| dcherniv | twig11: once its executable you can just double click on it | 20:55 |
| ortsvorsteher | twig11: no, dont scape the shell interpretor with #\!/bin/bash everytime you write a script for bash, it starts with #!/bin/bash | 20:55 |
| mzz | soreau: lvm's actually easier than regular partitioning once you're booted | 20:55 |
| dcherniv | twig11: and it should do the whole shebang automatically | 20:55 |
| mzz | soreau: it's only during grub and early bootup that it can complicate matters. | 20:56 |
| theTroy | erUSUL echo " \!bh" results in \!bg not in !bg | 20:56 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: I made it executable using the gui properties | 20:56 |
| dcherniv | twig11: yea thats fine too | 20:56 |
| dcherniv | twig11: double click on it see what happens | 20:56 |
| soreau | mzz: I'll take your word for it. Only messed with lvm once and it was difficult to set up as I recall | 20:56 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: Okay, i'll be outfor a bit while I test... | 20:56 |
| dcherniv | twig11: alright | 20:57 |
| soreau | mzz: Mostly because I had to get the right installation iso | 20:57 |
| twig11 | dcherniv: run or run in terminal? | 20:57 |
| mzz | soreau: well, ubuntu is annoying in that you need the alternative install cd to set up lvm during install (this is a carefully guarded secret or something: I haven't been able to find a list of features on the alt cd that aren't on the regular one anywhere) | 20:57 |

| erUSUL | theTroy: weird zsh and /bin/echo get it right but bash echo does not ... | 20:58 |
| stroyan | tonii: If you are not logged in to the X server then the X authority setting will be the -auth option in the ps line. If you are logged in then it will be ~/.Xauthority of the user that is logged in. You would need to "export XAUTHORITY=<path>" with that file to make xset find the right file. | 20:58 |

| stroyan | tonii: The monitor selection might be switchable with <fn>F4 or <fn>F5, depending on your system. You might also see if you can get xrandr to tell you about monitors and possibly switch the output. | 21:02 |

| minimec | RocketLauncher: fglrx driver? | 21:04 |
| Radtoo | Alvinware: its pretty good. if you're in need to do this professionally you may be more happy with ffmpeg or transcode or mencoder on the command line, but I think avidemux has more than most people need. | 21:04 |
| RocketLauncher | minimec nope | 21:04 |

| mgolisch | click_here: yeah why not? | 21:05 |
| ascheel | linduxed: the directory it's pointing to also needs permissions for the same user and I could be wrong on this, but I think the user needs to have permission to access the directory from the standard (non-sym link) as well | 21:05 |
| click_here | mgolisch, i don't want to get a virus or something | 21:06 |
| Radtoo | Alvinware: np. | 21:06 |
| minimec | RocketLauncher: Ok. Could be a driver thing. I don't see a reason, why gnome-screenshot shouldn't work. I personally guess its a driver related problem. | 21:06 |
| linduxed | ascheel: that sounds reasonable, but terribly insecure in a way | 21:06 |

| click_here | mgoliscoh okh, | 21:07 |
| ascheel | linduxed: mpd is a server process. As long as it's locked down, you have nothing to worry about. I don't believe mpd needs write access, just read | 21:08 |
| click_here | mgolisch, you wouldn't happen to know of a great music player for ubuntu that lets you rip in flac? | 21:08 |
| linduxed | ascheel: thats right | 21:08 |
| ascheel | linduxed: I'm going to advise you to check out #mpd, as it's a bit off topic for the #ubuntu channel. | 21:08 |
| minimec | RocketLauncher: No. That is no problem, but you well have to uninstall the fglrx driver, if you want to use the opensource driver, because fglrx adds a special kernel module. | 21:08 |

| ascheel | fwaokda: I recommend you don't use ubuntu-amd64.iso, I recommend you download the ubuntu installer meant for thumb drives and memory sticks | 21:16 |

I'd like to make some experimets with current libxml2 - unfortunately my ubuntu has quite old implementation so I need to compile it from sources. But I would like not to break anything.

| RocketLauncher | minimec: the one at packages.ubuntu gives me the same error: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock | 21:22 |
| mzz | bumblebee: I'm pretty sure you can't online-shrink ext3 or ext4, but gparted off the livecd should make this fairly painless. | 21:22 |
| fwaokda | ascheel, well it seems very easy using the ubuntu tool by going to "System>Admin>Usb startup disk creator" ... | 21:22 |
| fccf | Apollo2366: my first thought is you don't have the appropriate debs loaded to do audiofile manipulation | 21:22 |
| ascheel | hatter243: I've had the same experience. I've found the easiest solution is to use a USB to IDE converter and just boot from a normal CD | 21:22 |
| bumblebee | any suggestions for live cd | 21:22 |
| ascheel | fwaokda: that's true, but that won't have the USB installer on it | 21:22 |
| bumblebee | knoppix or something else | 21:23 |
| fccf | woodworker2001: in an educational environment ... no | 21:23 |
| mzz | bumblebee: what do you intend to use the new partition for, though? A bindmount might allow you to accomplish the same thing without repartitioning. | 21:23 |

| pelle_k | Hey people. Can anyone tell me how to list *manually* (i mean by the defention of the *word*, not by apt(itudes) defenition) such as debfoster does it, using aptitude? According to debfoster's homepage it's deprecated just because aptitude has this functionality, but i haven't been able to replicate it. I'm not looking for another "dpkg --get-selections" script mind you. | 21:37 |
| Evelina | mgolisch: Strange, but the command rtcwake -s 180 -m mem doesn't execute at all. When I run it manually with sudo in front it will. | 21:37 |
| fccf | Apollo2366: er um ... not really ... make sure you have the right encoders and such .. not sure how well audacity works with wav | 21:37 |
| ascheel | Evelina: to be sure it's set up as root, look at the files in the directory: /var/spool/cron/crontabs each file is the cron for the user the file is named after. | 21:37 |
| moncky | Evelina: is the crontab running the command, or does id execute a .sh script that you wrote? | 21:37 |
| RocketLauncher | minimec install successful brb | 21:37 |
| woodworker | fccf: I have tried 3 times to install direct to flash drive..... but when I place the GRUB file to /dev/sdb1 and try to reboot it comes up with a damaged or invalid bootable partition error. | 21:37 |
| ascheel | moncky: even if it's a script, it's being executed as the user it's in the crontab under | 21:37 |
| Apollo2366 | fccf, thanks anyway... | 21:37 |
| mgolisch | Evelina: the cron daemon might have a different environemnt, make sure to use full paths to executables | 21:37 |
| ziewback_ | mgolisch: gmesg says the rf_kill switch is still on | 21:38 |
| Evelina | moncky: The crontab is running a script where the last line is rtcwake -s 180 -m mem. | 21:38 |
| mgolisch | ziewback_: but cat on the state thing doenst say 2 anymore? | 21:38 |
| Evelina | moncky: I'm sure the cron job work because the script also creates a file in my home folder. | 21:38 |
| leaf-sheep | pelle_k: Sounds like you want Computer Janitor. Not sure. | 21:38 |
| moncky | ascheel: so file ownership ok? | 21:39 |
| ascheel | moncky: file ownership only relates to the permissions as to whether cron can execute it. | 21:39 |
| ivan_ | hey so i am stumped, every time i reboot and start ubuntu it starts in text mode, ive tried looking but apparently no one has a problem like this in the forums. can anyone please show me how to start it "graphically" | 21:39 |
| Evelina | mgolisch: Hm, I'll check it out. | 21:39 |
| mooseburger | When I plug in my ipod, rhythmbox starts playing music in my other user account. I fix this by using top to see the pid of rhythmbox, and then killing it. Any idea how to prevent this from happening in the first place though? | 21:39 |
| fccf | woodworker: hmm perhaps you need to run grub on the disk, as opposed to putting the file on ... | 21:39 |
| ziewback_ | mgolisch: just lokked and it still says 2 after setting it | 21:39 |
| fccf | !grub | woodworker .. see this | 21:40 |
| ubottu | woodworker .. see this: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 21:40 |
| pelle_k | leaf-sheep: this only lists packages "not needed" anymore, or not in the repos, probably a bug. Thanks for trying though :) | 21:40 |
| syslq78 | Anyone installed vlc 1.0.0? | 21:40 |
| ivan_ | so.... anyone got any ideas | 21:40 |
| ascheel | syslq78: I have and it works wonderfully for me | 21:40 |
| leaf-sheep | !x | ivan_ (See the command). | 21:40 |
| ubottu | ivan_ (See the command).: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 21:40 |
| woodworker | fccf: it gives me the option to put the file on my master boot list, but then the usb drive is only good on one computer | 21:41 |
| pelle_k | syslq78, sure. It runs great.. | 21:41 |
| leaf-sheep | ivan_: Gnome? | 21:41 |
| Evelina | ascheel: When I do ls /var/spool/cron/cronjob I only get root as an answer in Terminal. So I think the cron job is executed as root. | 21:41 |
| ascheel | ivan: update-rc.d gdm add | 21:41 |
| syslq78 | Guys have you used the deb provided on vlc web site? | 21:41 |
| Cypher67_ | how can i change the native drive of my tp-link wireless card for the ndiswrapper driver? | 21:41 |
| syslq78 | Or is it in some repo? | 21:41 |
| ivan_ | alright thanks | 21:41 |
| billy_ | Dreki: thanks ...I'll give it a try | 21:41 |
| fccf | woodworker: see the second link about grub ... you can install directly to the stick | 21:41 |
| ascheel | Evelina, that's correct. That 'root' file is a text file, it contains your cron. If you ONLY have root, then it will be executed as that user | 21:41 |
| woodworker | fccf: I am looking at that now | 21:42 |
| ascheel | syslq78: I did use that deb. Worked ok for me. | 21:42 |
| mgolisch | ziewback_: strange, what version of ubuntu do you run? | 21:42 |
| mgolisch | ziewback_: also make sure to install all upgrades | 21:42 |
| ziewback_ | mgolisch: 9.04 | 21:42 |
| syslq78 | ascheel, thanks I'm looking forward to upgrading | 21:42 |
| mgolisch | updates | 21:42 |
| pelle_k | syslq78: well i installed it from this page, http://philip.magicalforest.se/ . | 21:42 |
| ziewback_ | mgolisch: hard without wlan.. :) | 21:42 |
| mgolisch | theres been alot of changes with that rfkill stuff in recent kernel versions | 21:43 |
| ivan_ | thanks so "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" will restart the graphical interface? | 21:43 |
| Evelina | Hm, I'm not sure rtcwake is even installed. I get nothing when I do sudo aptitude show rtcwake or sudo aptitude search rtcwake. | 21:43 |
| syslq78 | pelle_k, thanks | 21:43 |
| pelle_k | syslq78: though i only pulled what was needed and then deactivated it, since it contains lots of stuff i didn't want to update... | 21:43 |
| mgolisch | ziewback_: you dont have a wired connection? | 21:43 |
| bastidrazor | ivan_, ? needs to be a k or a g .. k for kubuntu g for ubuntu | 21:43 |
| Evelina | I'm stupid. Of course it's installed. I have run it from Terminal. :( | 21:43 |
| Nan0fire | nano | 21:43 |
| syslq78 | I have heard vlc 1.0.0 has way better interface. VLC is kickass software with sad interface :) | 21:44 |
| RocketLauncher | minimec, i'm on windows right now. When I restarted Ubuntu, i saw a bunch of static and it's frozen | 21:44 |
| pioter | !! | 21:44 |
| ivan_ | got it thank you | 21:44 |
| Evelina | How do I find the path to rtcwake? | 21:44 |
| Evelina | I tried find rtcwake without any luck. | 21:44 |
| ascheel | Evelina: which rtcwake | 21:44 |
| Evelina | ascheel: Ok | 21:44 |
| ziewback_ | mgolisch: at the moment not - well will try after updates | 21:45 |
| ziewback_ | mgolisch: thx for now | 21:45 |
| woodworker | fccf: I am trying to do this from windows...... I am not currently running linux.... arent these instructions from linux? | 21:45 |
| Evelina | /usr/sbin/rtcwake | 21:45 |
| ascheel | Evelina: there ya go | 21:45 |
| amitay | join #django | 21:45 |
| Evelina | I'll try to put the path before the command in my script. | 21:45 |
| amitay | oops me. Sorry. | 21:45 |
| mgolisch | ziewback_: you could also try to play with the enable/disable wlan thing in networkmanager, or doesnt it see it at all= | 21:46 |
| mgolisch | ? | 21:46 |
| RocketLauncher | i'm quitting linux minimec bye | 21:46 |
| minimec | RocketLauncher: Shouldn't be like that. That's why I wanted you to install it the Ubuntu way. I was pretty sure, that you will avoid that kind of problems... | 21:46 |
| pelle_k | syslq78: well vlc from repos had that bug where the video window is separated from the main gui, but with 1.0 thats fixed, fortunately. I prefer totem though *hides* | 21:47 |
| ziewback_ | mgolisch: i found someone stating a solution on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-453380.html - but he says one should modprobe fsam7400 (works) and then i should "echo 1 > /proc/driver/wireless/radio" but there is no /proc/wireless - btw there is no wlan on network manager | 21:47 |
| syslq78 | pelle_k, bug? I thought that's a feature | 21:47 |
| Evelina | Thanks guys. I'll try it out right now, will see how it goes. | 21:47 |
| syslq78 | pelle_k, totem is mplayer fork isnt it? | 21:48 |
| Cypher67 | why when i try to use ndiswrapper it returns a message that the hardware is not present? | 21:49 |
| Evelina | What is the difference between: wget -O /dev/null "http://..." and wget "http://..." > /dev/null | 21:50 |
| mgolisch | Evelina: none | 21:50 |
| pelle_k | syslq78: bug/feature, to each his own. But i would like to have the choice for both modes.. Totem is not an mplayer fork, it's a gnome application using gstreamer while mplayer uses windows codecs (win32codecs) actually... | 21:50 |
| ivan_ | i tried it but when it wrote "starting GNOME" it failed | 21:50 |
| Evelina | mgolisch: Ok, just wondering. | 21:50 |
| syslq78 | mplayer is using windows codecs? | 21:51 |
| mgolisch | mplayer draws most of it supported formats from ffmpegs libavcodecs | 21:51 |
| mgolisch | just like vlc | 21:51 |
| mgolisch | and i think both are supperior to gstreamer based stuff | 21:51 |
| mgolisch | in many ways | 21:51 |
| Radtoo | syslq78: ya, it can use a few windows codecs but usually its using native codecs | 21:52 |
| Cypher67 | why when i try to use ndiswrapper it returns a message that the hardware is not present? | 21:52 |
| mgolisch | Cypher67: is the hardware present? | 21:52 |
| mgolisch | Cypher67: you probably loaded a inf for a wrong device | 21:52 |
| syslq78 | mgolisch, libvacodecs are open source from what I know | 21:52 |
| mgolisch | syslq78: yeah ffmpeg is opensource | 21:52 |
| syslq78 | mgolisch, mhm | 21:52 |
| fergus | flw galera.. fui | 21:53 |
| mgolisch | its the defacto standard in video encoding/decoding libraries | 21:53 |
| Evelina | Well, at least rtcwake worked as expected. The computer suspended as it should. Now I only have to get it to work using cron job. | 21:53 |
| Cypher67 | it is present and working with a native linux driver and i am trying to change to a windows driver | 21:53 |
| mgolisch | Cypher67: why? | 21:53 |
| ascheel | Evelina, if you need help just ask. It's a pretty easy and straightforward task | 21:53 |
| mgolisch | also it will not work if the device is used by another driver allready | 21:54 |
| mgolisch | you have to unload the driver before | 21:54 |
| syslq78 | Well anyway I didnt meet anything on linux that vlc or mplayer didnt handle so far | 21:54 |
| === oldude67 is now known as oldude | ||
| Cypher67 | because the signal for the wireless is to weak. i have changed in mandriva to a windows driver and the signal improved a lot | 21:54 |
| mgolisch | yeah, and both have some realy cool feature | 21:54 |
| Evelina | Is there any problem removing the graphics card belogning to my server and only use the server remote by another computer? Will it do any harm to remove a graphics card from a computer running Ubuntu Server? | 21:54 |
| mgolisch | both support vdpau for example | 21:54 |
| mgolisch | which gstreamer based players dont | 21:54 |
| jeffwheeler | I'd like to use my BT computer in a way counter to what it seems most people use BT for. I'd like to use the hands-free features of my phone to talk through my computer's microphone and speakers. | 21:55 |
| jeffwheeler | I can't seem to find any resources on that, since most software seems to go the other way. | 21:55 |
| Evelina | ascheel: Thanks, I will give it a try myself. Thanks for helping me out. | 21:55 |
| smilecdl | hi - can someone help.....I have just installed ubuntu and it picks up my wireless network but I cannot see the outside world (ping returns network not found) | 21:55 |
| jeffwheeler | That is, where the computer broadcasts to a handsfree headset, etc. | 21:55 |
| ascheel | No problem, Evelina | 21:55 |
| === irfan_ is now known as dodobrain | ||
| syslq78 | Evelina :), nice nick | 21:56 |
| Evelina | slyWhy? | 21:56 |
| Evelina | syslq78: Why? | 21:57 |
| syslq78 | Evelina, it's just a name of the girl I once knew that's all | 21:57 |
| Evelina | syslq78: Ok, it's a Swedish name, I think. | 21:58 |
| Evelina | syslq78: Maybe used world wide. | 21:58 |
| woodworker | anyone used UNetbooin to create usb bootable ubuntu? | 21:59 |
| mgolisch | yeah i think i did that once | 21:59 |
| mgolisch | why not just use the usb startup disk creator thing? | 22:00 |
| Evelina | woodworker: I think I have done that, maybe not Ubuntu, but other distros. There is a software in Ubuntu 8.10+ to create bootable flash drives. | 22:00 |
| Evelina | woodworker: As mgolisch said. | 22:00 |
| mgolisch | that is if you allready have ubuntu or can boot the livecd on some comp temporarely to create the usb boot thumb drive | 22:00 |
| Klowny | do i want gtk 1 or 2 as far as gnome-looks.org is concerned? | 22:00 |
| mneptok | !info usb-creator | 22:00 |
| ubottu | usb-creator (source: usb-creator): Ubuntu USB desktop image creator. In component main, is optional. Version 0.1.16 (jaunty), package size 26 kB, installed size 556 kB | 22:00 |
| woodworker | evelina: I have seen some of this...... but I am not running ubuntu | 22:00 |
| mneptok | woodworker: this channel is for questions relating to Ubuntu. not general Linux support. | 22:01 |
| Evelina | woodworker: Ok, I have used Unetbootin a couple of times. | 22:01 |
| mgolisch | woodworker: you can just boot the livecd and do it from there or boot it in a virtualisation software | 22:01 |
| mgolisch | thats how i did it the last times | 22:01 |
| ramouryan | can any help me with swap partition | 22:01 |
| velcroshooz | following a howto for cpu scaling, wants me to go to gconf-editor under gnome-power-manager, and the heading 'cpufreq' under that. its not listed. what gives? | 22:02 |
| woodworker | evelina: is there anything to doing this? | 22:02 |
| jaymuhz | evening | 22:02 |
| mneptok | velcroshooz: alt-f2 > gconf-editor | 22:02 |
| woodworker | mgolisch: I have only been able to figure out how to burn an image disc and not a livecd | 22:02 |
| velcroshooz | mneptok: k | 22:02 |
| tyler_d | I cannot change my ulimit to 8192 for my user, it produces an open file error? | 22:03 |
| syslq78 | It would be a kickass feature if ubuntu installer would allow me to customize packages like the thing fedora has | 22:03 |
| mgolisch | tyler_d: what produces that error? | 22:03 |
| velcroshooz | mneptok: i can get into it fine cpufreq is just not listed uner gnome-power-manager | 22:03 |
| Okay | I'm trying to install vlc using ppa? | 22:03 |
| ramouryan | swap help pls | 22:04 |
| jaymuhz | i have a small problem, basically, i just installed the PPC version of Jaunty on an old powerbook, I need to get wifi working by installing the b43-fwcutter package, problem is, I don't have a wired connection. so I can't apt-get it, and I can't find a PPC .deb anywhere on the web | 22:04 |
| tyler_d | ulimit -n 8192 | 22:04 |
| dask | bonsoir a tous | 22:04 |
| jaymuhz | anyone know where to look? | 22:04 |
| mneptok | !ask > ramouryan | 22:04 |
| ubottu | ramouryan, please see my private message | 22:04 |
| losher | velcroshooz: are you sure your cpu supports the feature? | 22:04 |
| velcroshooz | losher: yes, very | 22:04 |
| Socah | jaymuhz, wait a sec | 22:04 |
| mgolisch | jaymuhz: download it from the repo? | 22:04 |
| losher | velcroshooz: ok, then I'll shut up now... | 22:04 |
| tyler_d | mgolisch: ulimit -n 8192 | 22:05 |
| jaymuhz | mgolisch: do you know the PPC repo address? | 22:05 |
| mgolisch | jaymuhz: look in your sources.list? | 22:06 |
| Socah | jaymuhz, I think google could help you, or see your source.list in ur ppc ubuntu | 22:06 |
| mgolisch | the archive.ubuntu.com severs dont have anything but i386 and amd64 | 22:07 |
| mgolisch | so it must be alternate servers | 22:07 |
| velcroshooz | Okay, how about this one, anyone else running jaunty 9.04 64bit with the 185 nvidia 64 bit driver? im getting OpenGL errors in Quake 4 because the 32 bit compatibility layer isnt installed/linked correctly, anyone know a fix for this? | 22:07 |
| ramouryan | i need to create partition i already have 4 partitions .. a ubuntu ext3 ,a swap,xp ntfs , a compaq files partition.............. i have lot of unpartitioned space of abot 100gb which i want make it as a new partition............ but i cant make more than 4 partitions .............. can any one help me put??????? | 22:07 |
| jaymuhz | I didn't find anything, but yeh, i forgot about source.list, thanks | 22:07 |
| jaymuhz | gimme a sec, i'll tell you if it works | 22:07 |
| syslq78 | ulimit? I can set restrictions to users such as quotas and process limitations for users? | 22:07 |
| LordLandon | ramouryan: delete the swap | 22:07 |
| LordLandon | ramouryan: then make extended partitions | 22:08 |
| syslq78 | That was a question | 22:08 |
| Okay | I want to install vlc 1.00, so how do i use ppa or that stuff and the keys needed? | 22:08 |
| ramouryan | LordLandon : if i delete will there not be any problem ?? | 22:08 |
| mgolisch | syslq78: yes, you can limit lots of stuff, like opened filehandles, processes and other stuff | 22:08 |
| syslq78 | mgolisch, thanks | 22:08 |
| LordLandon | ramouryan: you can make another swap partition, but extended instead of primary. | 22:09 |
| syslq78 | mgolisch, that's bash builtin I guess since it's no man page for it | 22:09 |
| Socah | Okay, find a ppa repository with vlc, and all needed informations you will find on their site | 22:09 |
| velcroshooz | Okay: i followed this worked fine - http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-install-vlc-10-from-ubuntu-ppa.html | 22:09 |
| Okay | Socah, it also says to "install" the key? | 22:09 |
| jaymuhz | ports.ubuntu.com =] | 22:09 |
| jaymuhz | ty | 22:09 |
| Socah | Okay, yes, it is | 22:10 |
| Okay | just doing sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7613768D is enough though right | 22:10 |
| ramouryan | LordLandon : ok if i make new swap partition how can i make the os to recognise it | 22:10 |
| mgolisch | syslq78: yeah i think it is | 22:10 |
| velcroshooz | Okay: yes, thats all you do on commandline to add a key | 22:10 |
| Radtoo | ramouryan: /etc/fstab has it. | 22:10 |
| Socah | Okay, you can just open key file in browser, copy content, save as file.key, and open with app source manager, import key - all done | 22:10 |
| Socah | that's what I do, if I don't remember commands | 22:11 |
| ramouryan | Radtoo: i need to change /etc/fstab file after making new swap parttition ??? | 22:11 |
| syslq78 | Socah, there is apropos :) | 22:11 |
| Nazaroo | anyone have step by step info on hooking up wireless IBM card? | 22:11 |
| Socah | syslq78, yes? | 22:11 |
| Radtoo | ramouryan: yes, just add it there so it gets used for certain. | 22:12 |
| syslq78 | Socah, if you dont remember commands I mean | 22:12 |
| eshi | is there a reason a ppa repos would be ignored after being added manually? | 22:12 |
| Socah | ah, yea ;) | 22:12 |
| Jasur | Is anybody from Asia | 22:12 |
| syslq78 | eshi yeah if you didnt updated it | 22:12 |
| syslq78 | eshi, aptitude update I think | 22:12 |
| eshi | it was updated | 22:12 |
| syslq78 | eshi, than no | 22:12 |
| syslq78 | eshi, commented? | 22:12 |
| eshi | well actually i should say update is ignoring it as well | 22:12 |
| dragon_ | Jasur: is that in relation to Ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| ramouryan | Radtoo : by chance if iam not able to boot the system what should i do?? | 22:12 |
| syslq78 | eshi than it's probably commented by mistake | 22:13 |
| eshi | naw it's not commented | 22:13 |
| velcroshooz | eshi: its commented out, or incorrect syntax | 22:13 |
| syslq78 | ramouryan, pray | 22:13 |
| eshi | alright i'll check the syntax again to make sure and ty both | 22:13 |
| syslq78 | ramouryan any messages? | 22:13 |
| Jasur | hi dracon | 22:13 |
| Radtoo | ramouryan: uuh... that depends on what is preventing it from booting. its not swap or the lack thereof though, very likely. | 22:14 |
| ramouryan | syslq78 , nice sugestion thankyou | 22:14 |
| Okay | so everytime I want a newer version of something, I just do the ppa thing and add those repositories into the /etc/apt/sources.list? | 22:14 |
| ramouryan | Radtoo : so if there is no swap also system will work ?? | 22:14 |
| syslq78 | ramouryan, I was joking, you get any messages while trying to boot, do you get into boot loader? | 22:14 |
| Okay | and then use the same sudo command to update them? | 22:15 |
| velcroshooz | Okay: pretty much, find the ppa, add it to sources, add gpg key, sudo apt-get update, done | 22:15 |
| lacita | I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the 9.04 upgrade on a Lenovo T3000 laptop. | 22:15 |
| ramouryan | syslq78 : i havent yet tried ....... i am trying it now | 22:15 |
| syslq78 | mhm | 22:15 |
| Radtoo | ramouryan: yes, thats correct. | 22:15 |
| lolo | quit | 22:15 |
| syslq78 | Btw how do you list all computers on network with ubuntu/linux witout using portscan? | 22:16 |
| Okay | what about firefox 3.5? I heard you can't use it till ubuntu 9.10 | 22:16 |
| ramouryan | Radtoo : can you tell me how to add new swap file to fstab | 22:16 |
| velcroshooz | Okay: its in the standard repos right now | 22:16 |
| lacita | syslq78: check your network manager under places | 22:16 |
| ianm_ | is there an ubuntu/linux channel for blind users? | 22:17 |
| dragon_ | !pm > Jasur | 22:17 |
| ubottu | Jasur, please see my private message | 22:17 |
| Radtoo | syslq78: depends very much on how these computers may be announcing themselves to the network... if they do. | 22:17 |
| Okay | velcroshooz, it's funny how it's called shiretoko though | 22:17 |
| Radtoo | syslq78: the only generic way really is a portscan tho. | 22:17 |
| syslq78 | aha | 22:17 |
| syslq78 | thanks | 22:17 |
| velcroshooz | Okay: thats just the codename for it, not just the beta. i dont understand why either. | 22:17 |

| lacita | syslq78: check your network manager under places | 22:18 |
| lacita | I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the 9.04 upgrade on a Lenovo T3000 laptop. | 22:18 |
| syslq78 | lacita, I need it for script | 22:18 |
| Jasur | hi ubottu can you send one more time | 22:18 |
| syslq78 | lacita, something like net show in windows | 22:18 |
| lacita | syslq78: oh. | 22:18 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 22:18 |
| gogeta | Jasur: lol | 22:18 |
| syslq78 | lacita, thanks anyway | 22:18 |
| GreyWanderer | hey there. I'm running icewm, and I don't see any way of configuring icewm's behaviour (i.e. whether the panel hides, etc etc) | 22:19 |
| GreyWanderer | is there still a configuration program rattling around? | 22:19 |
| lacita | syslq78: I know there's GUI program that i've sed in the past, bt i can't remember what the name was. | 22:19 |
| ibeekman | anyone know how to install a login theme from the command line? | 22:19 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: try #icewm | 22:19 |
| GreyWanderer | I did, it's currently silent. | 22:19 |
| Jasur | sorry i don't think so | 22:20 |
| Okay | vlc's not starting up for some reason | 22:20 |
| lacita | I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the 9.04 upgrade on a Lenovo T3000 laptop. | 22:20 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: we use xfce gnome and kde no icmwm | 22:20 |
| lacita | Okay: do a killall, and restart. | 22:20 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: and soon lxde | 22:20 |
| GreyWanderer | heh. And I'm not sure if xfce will actually do what I want either. | 22:20 |
| lacita | Okay: or ctrl+alt+backspace | 22:20 |
| firecrotch | syslq78: icepref maybe? | 22:20 |
| firecrotch | er | 22:20 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: do what | 22:20 |
| GreyWanderer | hm. That's a point. | 22:20 |
| Okay | thanks lacita | 22:20 |
| ibeekman | does anyone know how to install and choose a login theme from the command line? | 22:21 |
| marsvolta | hello | 22:21 |
| === forrest is now known as forrestv | ||
| syslq78 | GreyWanderer, what he was meaning to say is just use desktop enviroment not just window manager | 22:21 |
| firecrotch | GreyWanderer: icepref myabe | 22:21 |
| marsvolta | geeeks | 22:21 |
| syslq78 | firecrotch, will try thanks | 22:21 |
| dragon_ | !dontzap | lacita | 22:21 |
| ubottu | lacita: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 22:21 |
| lacita | Okay: or ctrl+alt+backspace | 22:21 |
| ibeekman | Is it true that I can install it by unpacking the login theme tarball under /usr/share/gdm/themes/ ? | 22:21 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: what can icewm do none else can lol | 22:21 |
| GreyWanderer | gogeta: what I want is: (1) hide the panel, and (2) when I start up a particular program, have the ability to totally fullscreen that program, i.e. no decorations, the window taking up the full screen. | 22:22 |
| dragon_ | lacita, Okay: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace has been disabled in Ubuntu | 22:22 |
| Okay | i just did another update for the "fail to recognize distribution" and it works now | 22:22 |
| GreyWanderer | kde can do it. Metacity can sort of do it if I manually resize/reposition after window creation. | 22:22 |
| lacita | dragon_: I do it all the time... | 22:22 |
| ibeekman | anyone familiar with changing the login screen from the command line? | 22:22 |
| GreyWanderer | icewm can resize/reposition, like Metacity, but I want to hide the panel. | 22:22 |
| dragon_ | lacita: Either you're running and older version of Ubuntu, or you enabled it manually. | 22:23 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: you like the right click menu | 22:23 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: that is a icewm thing | 22:23 |
| dragon_ | ibeekman: what kind of change? | 22:23 |
| GreyWanderer | gogeta: on what? desktop or panel? | 22:23 |
| ibeekman | dragon_: change the theme, and install a new theme | 22:23 |
| GreyWanderer | because on the panel, there's nothing related to preferences. | 22:23 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: on icewm you rrighr click for your menu | 22:23 |
| smilecdl | any hints on connecting through a wireless? I am logged onto my network (well it accepted the name and the key) but I cannot actually send or receive any packets | 22:24 |
| gogeta | right | 22:24 |
| lacita | I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. Any sggestions wold be welcome | 22:24 |
| Xubuntnoob | lets say when i type 'ls' and i get a list of files in my directory, i have lots of files that are very very long, and i'd like to manipulate their names, is there a way i can put a switch or something on the ls command to put a number to the file list so i could then type mv 'x' where x=some number? | 22:24 |
| Xubuntnoob | does that even make sense? | 22:24 |
| velcroshooz | Okay, how about this one, anyone else running jaunty 9.04 64bit with the 185 nvidia 64 bit driver? im getting OpenGL errors in Quake 4 because the 32 bit compatibility layer isnt installed/linked correctly, anyone know a fix for this? | 22:24 |
| GreyWanderer | and right-click on the desktop brings up the same as the <Start> button. | 22:24 |
| zenlunatic | Xubuntnoob, not easy for a noob. you might want to man sed man awk | 22:25 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: i belve iceprefs is what you whant | 22:25 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: just run it if you cant find it | 22:25 |
| dragon_ | Xubuntnoob: you should consider using the Tab key for auto-completion. | 22:25 |
| darnell | Does anyone know of a reasonably priced Linux compatible printer/copier/scanner? | 22:25 |
| dragon_ | !wifi | smilecdl | 22:25 |

| syslq78 | Xubuntnoob, you want to rename files by appending them sequence number? | 22:26 |
| ibeekman | Any thoughts dragon_ ? | 22:26 |
| Okay | so if we keep adding repositories into the /etc/apt/sources.list, do we ever need to edit it when it becomes bloated? | 22:26 |
| gogeta | darnell: linux is comoatble with alot of printers | 22:26 |
| deany | darnell, I have an epson sx400 all in one that works nice | 22:27 |
| gogeta | darnell: i prefer kodec printers cost a bit more but there ink is cheap | 22:27 |
| Xubuntnoob | syslq78 - yea ( i think) ---> ls -sequence yields file1=1 file2=2 etc... so then i could type mv (sequence#1) /home/user/short.file.name | 22:27 |
| theTroy | can please anyone tell me how to write the : echo "a !bg 'cd" / !cf' " so that it will give me the : a !bg 'cd" / !cf' ? and please could you check it in terminal before telling me the answer :( | 22:27 |
| losher | Xubuntnoob: if you do ls > /tmp/t then the names will go into the file /tmp/t. Then you can edit /tmp/t and on each line put mv <original-long-name> <new-short-name>. When you're satisfied with the file, you can run it as a script and all the mv commands you've written will get executed.... | 22:27 |
| gogeta | darnell: so in the end you save | 22:27 |
| dragon_ | ibeekman: couldn't find one. | 22:27 |
| GreyWanderer | darn. Apparently it's referred to, but there's no installation candidate. | 22:28 |
| darnell | Gogeta/Deaney thanks much | 22:28 |
| GreyWanderer | and thank you for the suggestion, by the way. | 22:28 |
| GreyWanderer | If icewm doesn't work out, I may even have to look at something as light as fluxbox... | 22:28 |
| GreyWanderer | problem is, limited memory, and hoggy programs. | 22:29 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: lxde | 22:29 |
| syslq78 | GreyWanderer, how much of memory do you have? | 22:29 |
| GreyWanderer | 256Mb. | 22:29 |
| Ahadiel | GreyWanderer, Openbox is nice aswell | 22:29 |
| lacita | I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. Any sggestions wold be welcome | 22:29 |
| GreyWanderer | so I hear. | 22:29 |
| mneptok | OpenBox++ | 22:29 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: http://www.lxde.org/ | 22:29 |
| syslq78 | GreyWanderer lxde or xfce should run ok on that and it's full desktop enivroment | 22:29 |
| GreyWanderer | I know. I've got xfce here but I think it needs tweaking. | 22:30 |
| gogeta | xfce is to blouted these days | 22:30 |
| gogeta | bloted | 22:30 |
| Xubuntnoob | losher - that sounds interesting, -for a different project i want to work on maybe, how could i do something like that where spaces are a problem? such as my music files, from windows rips the tracks all have spaces, how could i use a script like that but 'escape the space' | 22:30 |
| Xubuntnoob | in the least time consuming / tedious manner | 22:31 |
| GreyWanderer | hm. Time I reset this irssi screen. | 22:31 |
| losher | Xubuntnoob: just enclose the filename with single quotes e.g. 'my file name.mp3' and the spaces won't be a problem | 22:31 |
| mneptok | gogeta: "bloated" | 22:31 |
| Xubuntnoob | ah yes | 22:31 |
| gogeta | mneptok: heh | 22:31 |
| velcroshooz | Okay, how about this one, anyone else running jaunty 9.04 64bit with the 185 nvidia 64 bit driver? im getting OpenGL errors in Quake 4 because the 32 bit compatibility layer isnt installed/linked correctly, anyone know a fix for this? | 22:32 |
| GreyWanderer | hey ho. | 22:32 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: if you relly wnna go light wight ust use xinit | 22:32 |
| gogeta | heh | 22:32 |
| GreyWanderer | gogeta: well, I did seriously think of that. | 22:32 |
| losher | Xubuntnoob: just noticed the 'least time consuming' postscript. In that case, I would use the rename command to change all the spaces to dashes. I think you can do that in a one-liner... | 22:32 |
| puff | Hey, is it possible to print to a PDF from firefox? | 22:32 |
| nztal | GreyWanderer, i realize this is a ubuntu support channel, though you were speaking of too bloated de's i discovered a distro based on ubuntu minimal install, using openbox de, that was somewhat rather nice, it seems like it would work well on low end hardware, its called crunchbang (i hope thats not against channel rules) their latest version uses jaunty sources. of course, anything further, you would have to google for their support channel | 22:32 |
| GreyWanderer | After all, I wanted to start SecondLife as just the pure client, no other programs. | 22:33 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: but lxde looks alot like gnome but lighter then xfce | 22:33 |
| syslq78 | puff yeah all you need is pdf "printer" and you just print | 22:33 |
| GreyWanderer | heh. | 22:33 |
| dragon_ | theTroy: these docs might help: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Quoting | 22:33 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: look at the screens | 22:33 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: they even have there own netbook remix lxlauncher | 22:34 |
| puff | syslq78: How do I set that up? I've gotta web page up in firefox that I had to pay to get, state driver's history for a friend, and I need to print it for him so he can take it into the DMV and argue with them. | 22:34 |
| theTroy | dragon_ I am aware of that, but it just doenst work | 22:34 |
| theTroy | dragon_ echo "a \!bg" gives a \!bg and not a !bg | 22:34 |
| syslq78 | puff well the really simple way is to make a screen shoot and print that | 22:34 |
| puff | Good pooint. | 22:35 |
| syslq78 | puff but otherwise print to ps and use ps2pdf | 22:35 |
| nztal | puff, you should save that webpage to a file, before its lost, then worry about printing. seeing as you paid for it | 22:35 |
| syslq78 | puff, first way you dont set anything up | 22:35 |
| syslq78 | nztal, :) | 22:35 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: you can go fs on xninit as well alt enter on most apps or f11 on firefox | 22:35 |
| GreyWanderer | heh. | 22:35 |
| mneptok | theTroy: you do not have to escape inside quotes. and usually you use single quotes. | 22:35 |
| Okay | this is what I get when trying to update transmission to 1.72---"checking for OpenSSL... configure: error: Cannot locate ssl" | 22:35 |
| GreyWanderer | Anyhow, how do I fullscreen an app on xinit with no WM ? | 22:35 |
| Okay | then it just stops working when I try ./configure | 22:36 |
| GreyWanderer | Alt-enter is a WM-support thing. | 22:36 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: as i said alt enter is the fs hotkey for most apps | 22:36 |
| mneptok | Okay: why are you compiling? | 22:36 |
| theTroy | mneptok if I use single quotes, I cannot do the ' a !a 'a a' to get the a !a 'a a | 22:36 |
| Okay | mneptok, i want version 1.72 | 22:36 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: f11 firefox | 22:36 |
| GreyWanderer | with no wm running, there's no ALt-enter for SOME programs (namely, twin and a couple of others) | 22:36 |
| Xubuntnoob | this is probably getting way over my head, but is there a way in the mv <long file with spaces> where space = true <escape space> < add _ or .> /working/directory/long_file_with_spaces ?? | 22:36 |
| puff | nztal: I've saved it, but I seem to recall it didn't get through save/reload very well the last time I had to deal with it, and since he's going to be dealing with burueacrats... | 22:36 |
| gogeta | GreyWanderer: f11 is normaly the other hotkey | 22:36 |
| gogeta | pidgin etc | 22:37 |
| syslq78 | puff, cups-pdf | 22:37 |
| Ramonster | could anyone explain to me what -lcompat is? | 22:37 |
| GreyWanderer | I do: mv "file with spaces" $(echo "file with spaces" | sed 's/ /_/') | 22:37 |
| Okay | mneptok, I shouldn't be compiling then? | 22:37 |
| Ramonster | configure:16633: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -Wall -fno-strict-alias$ | 22:38 |

| losher | Ramonster: it is a C compatibility library. I forget what it's for. You need to find its package and install it... | 22:39 |
| Okay | mneptok, why is compiling not good? because there's already a stable version of 1.72 already? | 22:39 |
| Xubuntnoob | greywanderer - and that i'm assuming would work in a script like losher was describing? | 22:39 |

| syslq78 | theraptor, are you an old hack ? | 22:52 |
| det_ | ramouryan, it seems you have 5 partitions on the same hard drive, am I correct? | 22:52 |
| theraptor | not old xD | 22:53 |
| Okay | mneptok, okay I ran sudo apt-get update | 22:53 |
| mneptok | Okay: sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:53 |
| mneptok | Okay: and you will get a nightly version of Transmission | 22:53 |
| syslq78 | theraptor, ah, so you only have a good taste for music than | 22:53 |
| theraptor | yeah | 22:53 |
| mneptok | Okay: and you will continue to get nightly builds via the package system | 22:53 |
| Okay | mneptok, "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." | 22:53 |
| det_ | ramouryan, I don't know, how you have managed to do so but the max. limit for partitions is 4 for a single had drive | 22:53 |
| det_ | hard* | 22:54 |

| Okay | mneptok, I checked and it's still 1.51 | 22:54 |
| Slart | ramouryan: sorry.. was meant for det_ | 22:54 |
| losher | ramouryan: good. Now you can add new partitions inside the extended partition... | 22:54 |
| Spirits-Sight | losher or Slart could you tell me more of how to do this please? does ubuntu have vm already built in? please PM me so I can follow iwht out all the other stuff interfering with me being able to read. I am blind its a little hard to follow help in here | 22:54 |
| det_ | Slart, that's what I ment :) | 22:54 |
| mneptok | Okay: you did not use the quotes (" ") in /etc/apt/sources.list, did you? | 22:54 |
| Slart | Spirits-Sight: no worries | 22:54 |

| fccf | techbw: I know of is4c / fannie ... it was designed for grocery stores ... lots of plu's | 22:59 |
| mneptok | Okay: ah, i see the problem | 22:59 |
| mneptok | Okay: you need "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt-nightly/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" (no quotes) in /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:00 |
| th0r | techbw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87743 | 23:00 |
| det_ | ramouryan, how much you got RAM? | 23:00 |

| puff | Hm, I installed cups-pdf and it created a PDF printer, but when I print to printer PDF, where does the output file show up? | 23:00 |

| fccf | techbw: I think so ... search | 23:00 |
| ramouryan | det_/dev/sda1--ext3,/dev/sda3--ntfs -- these two are os partitions ubuntu and xp respectively.........../dev/sda2 -extended -- this one has sda5 -linux swap,sda6&7 -fat32 ... /dev/sda4 -- unknown it has compaq files | 23:00 |
| mneptok | puff: ~/PDF | 23:01 |
| ramouryan | det_:: ram is 4gb | 23:01 |
| mneptok | ramouryan: an MSDOS disklabel only supports 4 partitions, including extended. | 23:01 |
| Okay | mneptok, it's still 1.51 | 23:01 |
| deany | extended is always sda4 | 23:02 |
| mneptok | Okay: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:02 |
| deany | so the first logical partition is sda5 | 23:02 |
| det_ | ramouryan, you have sda6 and 7? the pastebin result only shows sda1-5 | 23:02 |
| ramouryan | i have only four | 23:02 |
| puff | mneptok: Ah, thanks, had to create ~/PDF for it to print to. | 23:02 |
| Okay | mneptok, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 23:02 |
| deany | or thats how its always been with me | 23:02 |
| puff | I really need to code up a version of my aptwiki idea. | 23:02 |
| det_ | ramouryan, and if you got 4gb ram, you won't need swap, not with linux. are you even running x86_64? | 23:02 |

| det_ | mohammed510, you need to burn the image to it | 23:03 |
| ramouryan | det_:http://pastebin.com/m25be7d78 | 23:03 |

| ramouryan | det_:: i dont known if its x86_64 or not !! | 23:04 |
| det_ | ramouryan, where did those two partitions come from? | 23:04 |
| Okay | mneptok, Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: transmission-cli (>= 1.72-0ubuntu0~jaunty0) | 23:04 |
| techbw | th0r: thnx found tuxshop from that link. | 23:04 |
| det_ | ramouryan, I mean are you running 32-bit or 64-bit? | 23:04 |
| Slart | catharcyst: ubuntu doesn't use a root password.. use your user password | 23:05 |
| ramouryan | det_:: its 32 bit | 23:05 |
| Slart | catharcyst: and karmic support is in #ubuntu+1 | 23:05 |
| catharcyst | slart it does not work | 23:05 |
| det_ | ramouryan, there you go :). well the max. RAM is still about 3.3gb so that's not gonna end | 23:05 |
| catharcyst | Slart ok | 23:05 |
| RandomTime | I hate the fact that there's no root at all for ubuntu, horrible idea | 23:05 |
| BCM431 | The other users cant use sound on my computer. they get the error audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback.You don't have permission to open the device. Why is this? | 23:06 |
| jrib | RandomTime: you are misinformed. Why do you have that opinion? | 23:06 |
| mneptok | Okay: so try bortis' main PPA - deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bortis/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | 23:06 |
| Slart | RandomTime: root is there.. there just isn't a root password.. and I actually think it's a good idea.. what do you feel is bad about it? | 23:06 |
| clearzen | RandomTime: then set a root password if it bothers you that much | 23:06 |
| det_ | ramouryan, the rest of your RAM will be shared with your graphics card | 23:06 |
| RandomTime | Prehaps I will | 23:06 |
| Slart | !supportroot | clearzen | 23:06 |
| ubottu | clearzen: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 23:06 |
| mneptok | Okay: must go. ~40C in the office. time for siesta. | 23:06 |
| RandomTime | I probably am misinformed about the root password, but my inner Tux feels safer with one on | 23:06 |
| clearzen | cool, ok I mean use debian instead | 23:07 |
| mneptok | RandomTime: sudo -i | 23:07 |
| ramouryan | idet_ :: i divided extended volume i.e /sda2 into three partitions ..one swap and two fat 32 filesystems | 23:07 |
| bastidrazor | BCM431, add the users to pulse-rt group | 23:07 |
| det_ | RandomTime, then your distro shouldn't be ubuntu | 23:07 |
| bucky | RandomTime: there was an opportunity for you to change that during the install.. may have been in the expert install tho | 23:07 |
| cfedde | it's easy enough to set a root password after the fact. | 23:07 |
| mneptok | RandomTime: do not set a password, use sudo -i | 23:07 |
| Okay | mneptok, thanks for all your help. I learned a lot today. :D | 23:07 |
| mneptok | Okay: np np | 23:08 |
| cfedde | also no root password is different than a null root password. | 23:08 |
| RandomTime | bucky: I think it is expert only, I used the live CD default | 23:08 |
| bucky | RandomTime: expert install was an option at the boot up screen | 23:08 |

| Pici | det_: Then you'll need to ask in #archlinux, NOT here. | 23:12 |
| clearzen | det_: then the setting is in gconf-editor | 23:12 |

| puff | Hey, anybodyk now much about the innards of laptop suspend? | 23:27 |
| puff | Er, hibernate (suspend to disk)? | 23:27 |
| Evelina | Slart: Not good at all, it did work before, but sometimes it seem to be broken. Not good at all. | 23:27 |
| bardyr | Hey, where can i find the blueprint/specification template? | 23:27 |
| Slart | Evelina: I can only agree.. sometimes there can be work arounds.. but the best fix might be to just wait for the next version.. =/ | 23:28 |
| gogeta | puff: suspend can be tricky and not work on some hardware you need a good amount of free space to | 23:28 |

| pycal | I've installed 9.04 on a 2gb usb flash drive and loaded successfully, and now I would like to figure out how to load toram, but when I'm booting I am not able to change boot options by pressing tab or f6 - is there something additional I need to do? | 23:29 |
| gogeta | nicklas_: with wintricks and the dx9 runtime yes they run | 23:29 |

| bastidrazor | heh.. yeah chown .. doh | 23:31 |
| Danny | thanks | 23:32 |
| Monika|K | chown name:name * | 23:32 |
| Monika|K | for changing the group at the same time | 23:32 |

| GnomeKing | Can anyone explain why my USB mouse doesn't work? The trackpad on the laptop works, the usb mouse is recognised by dmesg as a mouse, but it doesn't move the X cursor. Most websites say xorg.conf should have two mouse sections - but it doesn't have any in my 9.04 yet the trackpad still works?! | 23:35 |

| abe3k | guys, after updating these packages http://pastebin.com/m7efb3065, I started to get choppy sound after reboot, any ideas on what could be causing this ? | 23:36 |
| neoteny | GnomeKing, now that xorg has changed relatively recently be careful about following old posts about how to edit xorg.conf. | 23:37 |
| Evelina | Slart: Yeah, hopefully. | 23:37 |
| GnomeKing | neoteny, I guessed as much - I used to understand it but don't now since its so empty ;) is that info listed somewhere else? | 23:37 |
| syslq78 | Vlc 1.0.0 installation can be done trough updates :) | 23:38 |
| Socah | What could be reason, that after installing e17, I have no sound in gnome? I discovered that I can only run alsamixer from sudo. What files premissions should I change? | 23:38 |
| laclasse | Socah, type pulseaudio in a terminal as user | 23:39 |
| laclasse | in e17. is the sound back ? | 23:39 |
| Socah | laclasse, pulseaudio is removed, e17 too. Even all alsa, gstreamer packages were purged and reinstalled. | 23:40 |
| pycal | hey, i'm trying to boot 9.04 toram. when I'm loading from my 2gb usb flash drive I have options to: run ubuntu persistently, install, boot from first hard drive, and get help. is this possible with my setup? | 23:40 |
| Socah | my sound was working perfect before e177 laclasse | 23:40 |

| Socah | laclasse, pulseaudio was showing only null output, 5 minutes ago (when I tried to solve this problem, installing pulse) | 23:40 |
| syslq78 | Is there a software that checks system health, unused libs, tmp files etc... | 23:41 |
| laclasse | Socah, in gnome, it was working perfect, without pulse audio ? | 23:41 |
| Socah | laclasse, yes, it was | 23:41 |

| neoteny | GnomeKing, i'm not an expert by any means. i just know there's a lot different now and time can be wasting applying old posts. kinda like when kernel 2.6 was new and the only posts i could find to follow were 2.4! fun times. | 23:41 |
| v1d4l0k4 | People, I'm trying to extract an damaged ISO (legible, but some files are truncated) without success... File-Roller dies with "isoinfo: Short read on old image" error message. There's any other way to extract non-damaged files ignoring these errors? | 23:41 |
| laclasse | direct ALSA works i guess | 23:41 |
| GnomeKing | thanks for the warning neoteny :) | 23:41 |
| edbian | v1d4l0k4: Did you try mounting it? | 23:41 |
| laclasse | e17 is enlightment ... might still use oss and esd | 23:41 |
| Out_Cold | ok so i am trying to un-blacklist bc43xx and add the module to the kernel. I #'d out the line in blacklist but do i restart now? | 23:42 |
| laclasse | Socah, see if you have an alsa module for comp-pcm-oss or somit | 23:42 |
| Socah | laclasse, in fact, I removed all e17 packages, even reinstalled ubuntu-desktop metapackage, still can't get back my mixers | 23:42 |
| Socah | laclasse, ok | 23:42 |
| puff | Is there a good command to display your file system, partitions, mount points, etc, sort of like a nicely formatted combination of fdisk -l/df -h/mount output? | 23:42 |
| what_if | Out_Cold: "modprobe bc43xx" | 23:42 |
| v1d4l0k4 | edbian: yeap, it mounts with no problem | 23:42 |
| laclasse | Socah, can you see the hw ? | 23:42 |
| laclasse | in lspci or something | 23:42 |
| someone_ | hi i hae a problem | 23:42 |
| someone_ | hi i have a problem | 23:43 |
| Out_Cold | what_if, Module bcm43xx not found. | 23:43 |
| KrOlin | Yo i need help but in spanish! pls xD | 23:43 |
| nsadmin | someone_: identity? | 23:43 |
| edbian | v1d4l0k4: Then why do you need to un-pack it? You have access through mounting yes? | 23:43 |

| KrOlin | thanks bro!! | 23:43 |
| Socah | laclasse, yes, I can - I can even reload my alsa-modules and gain access to mixer with sudo before - none of modules you listed are modprobed | 23:43 |
| laclasse | Socah, put volume high, and cat a short text file to /dev/dsp | 23:44 |
| laclasse | hear some sound? | 23:44 |
| someone_ | nsadmin i recently changed the login password and evolution now asks for mail passwords and the default keyring | 23:44 |
| laclasse | cat foo.txt > /dev/dsp | 23:44 |
| Socah | laclasse, premission denied, even with sudo | 23:45 |
| what_if | Out_Cold: hmmm.... maybe it is called b43 ?? | 23:45 |
| nsadmin | someone_: so either change the password on the keyring too or (not recommended) change the login passwd back | 23:45 |
| laclasse | Socah, ls -;l /dev/dsp shows ? | 23:45 |

| Out_Cold | what_if, there is b43 and bc43xx | 23:46 |
| k5ehx | latest ubuntu update broke Xorg, gives error in intel_drv. Is this a known issue? | 23:46 |
| someone_ | nsadmin : but i dont even remember setting one,is there a way to recover it in order to change it? | 23:47 |
| Socah | laclasse, sudo gpasswd -a geezus audio, made this | 23:47 |
| Socah | laclasse, this could help -> alsamixer from user is "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" | 23:47 |
| laclasse | Socah, ran asoundconf as root? | 23:47 |

| k5ehx | gabriel-bezerra: did you check the first line of the script to make sure it is pointing to a valid binary? | 23:49 |
| syslq78 | gabriel-bezerra, do which python | 23:49 |
| gabriel-bezerra | hum.... | 23:49 |
| syslq78 | gabriel-bezerra, it probably made python 3.0 default and it broke compatibility | 23:50 |
| what_if | Out_Cold: have you installed b43-fwcutter? | 23:50 |
| someone_ | ebbian : so the default keyring is my previous password..? | 23:50 |
| laclasse | Socah, $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/asoundconf => alsa-utils: /usr/bin/asoundconf | 23:50 |

| syslq78 | gabriel-bezerra, python path | 23:51 |
| syslq78 | check it | 23:51 |

| syslq78 | gabriel-bezerra, start python | 23:52 |

| Socah | laclasse, it's only one, snd-hda-intel integrated card on laptop | 23:52 |
| syslq78 | or print(sys.path) <-- python 3.x | 23:52 |

| Apollo2366 | Are there any good audio editors for linux? | 23:53 |
| gabriel-bezerra | syslq78, to do that i have to import sys, right? | 23:53 |
| syslq78 | gabriel-bezerra, from what you told it seems python can not find that lib so it's not in path probably | 23:53 |

| laclasse | Socah, you haven't made any changes to that have you? | 23:53 |
| Apollo2366 | mcphail, audacity is dead to me, I'll look into ardour. | 23:53 |
| syslq78 | mcphail, how about video editor :) | 23:53 |
| sebastien | i installed it from the synaprics but python -V gives me python v 2.6.4 or sth in the same libe | 23:53 |
| Socah | laclasse, damn, you ask about this in /dev/snd/pcm - I got 3 devices, all with same premissions | 23:54 |

| syslq78 | mcphail, normal quality, there are some kickass enterpise systems for video editing and post production based on linux but they are high end systems that cost $$$$$$ | 23:55 |
| mcphail | syslq78: cinelerra is a very full featured compositing video editor. Just a bit unstable | 23:55 |
| laclasse | Socah, you should have a total of 6 files in there, with 3 of them starting with 'pcm', is this the case? | 23:55 |
| Socah | laclasse, what's a strange thing, when I round asoundconf, it ask me to install alsa-utils, when I try to install alsa-utils, it says it's installed | 23:55 |
| syslq78 | mcphail, I'm not ms fanboy obviously since I do use *nixes a lot but no free tool on linux comes close to windows movie maker, not to mention "normal" tools that cost | 23:55 |
| Apollo2366 | mcphail, you wouldn't happen to know why audacity would freeze every few minutes do you? | 23:56 |
| mcphail | syslq78: i think some people use blender for video editing as well | 23:56 |
| syslq78 | mcphail, blender is kickass :) | 23:56 |
| laclasse | Socah, uh | 23:56 |
| Socah | laclasse, /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p - all I have | 23:56 |
| laclasse | ok great | 23:56 |
| Apollo2366 | syslq78, agreed | 23:56 |
| mcphail | Apollo2366: no. don't use it much but never had any problems like that | 23:56 |
| Apollo2366 | mcphail, oh well. I'm done with it anyway, if ardour turns out to be good. | 23:57 |

| mcphail | syslq78: yes - that's what i use | 23:57 |
| laclasse | Socah, would only say dpkg -P (apt-get remove --purge) all alsa-utils and reget them all from the same sources.list | 23:57 |

| laclasse | Socah, big sources.list ? | 23:57 |

| laclasse | Socah, comment the ppa's and anything exotic would you? | 23:58 |
| k5ehx | avidemux is nice for converting video | 23:59 |

| Okay | khazil, it's a canon pixma mp470 | 23:59 |
