| monkey_d_luffy | What software can I use to import a CSV file and produce a gradient coutour surface chart? | 00:00 |
| sketchyd_ | akufen - just tried apt-get -f install and still didnt work - same error | 00:00 |
| podginater | ok thanks | 00:00 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: nick me when back | 00:00 |
| jchamm1 | monkey_d_luffy: Maybe octave? | 00:00 |
| Alvinware | delly, can i install windows vista in wine? | 00:00 |
| delly | podginater: Unless its a analogy | 00:00 |
| CosmiChaos | ahoi | 00:00 |
| lstarnes | Alvinware: you don't install windows itself in wine | 00:00 |
| snarkster | ive setup samba on 9.04 and created a share. I goto to network in nautilus and get an error "Failed to retrieve share list" but there are shares on other machines as well.. | 00:00 |
| delly | Alvinware: you can install Windows software in wine and hope it works :P | 00:00 |
| snarkster | shouldnt i be able to see my own shares? | 00:00 |
| DasEi | !virtualisation | Alvinware | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Alvinware: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 00:01 |
| rootlinuxusr | Snarkster Do you have a firewall installed? | 00:01 |
| delly | Alvinware: That includes viruses | 00:01 |
| snarkster | nope | 00:01 |
| jason__ | How can I start an application from the command line in GNOME so that it starts minimized? wmctrl can not do it. | 00:01 |
| Grizmawe | Alvinware: wine is used to run windows programs, not the OS itself. You can get vmware server for free though taht will run windows | 00:01 |
| arand | Alvinware: no, wine is a compability layer for applications, not for windows itself, you'd need a virtual amchine for that... | 00:01 |
| snarkster | in kde is does suggest that maybe a firewall is setup | 00:01 |
| mr_steve | guestadmin: well that's truly weird then | 00:01 |
| guestadmin | mr_steve this is weird..... you helped me accidentally discover another weird problem...sigh ;) lol | 00:01 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - hmm am I being stupid here, how do I get into a terminal without booting into ubuntu ? | 00:01 |
| rootlinuxusr | if so, you should probably enable the ports for samba - 137-139, 445 | 00:02 |
| snarkster | unless 9.04 comes with a firewall already configured. | 00:02 |
| DasEi | Alvinware: better use virtualbox, as you can do images from OS'es free, vmware only has a trial on generating, though player is free | 00:02 |
| mr_steve | guestadmin: I've never run in to that before, although I have lost all the menus before | 00:02 |
| snarkster | i think its my freaking router. | 00:02 |
| snarkster | stupide motorola pos | 00:02 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: why won't you boot ? | 00:02 |
| guestadmin | mr_steve:always a new adventure I guess, Im currently checking the boards for some history ;) | 00:03 |
| arand | Kingsy101: Start another linux distro? When you have a terminal form an ubuntu install, you are per definition running ubuntu ;) | 00:03 |
| Alvinware | delly, Unix/Linux can't be hacked? | 00:03 |
| delly | Anyone got any experience with downgrading from Ext4 to Ext3? | 00:03 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: ah now I get you, keyboard isn't working; have you got al live cd ? | 00:03 |
| Kingsy101 | I am trying recovery mode now | 00:03 |
| delly | Alvinware: it can like anything else. Its just harder when the OS is not full of blatant known holes | 00:04 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - ok I am in grun | 00:04 |
| delly | Alvinware: And a proper security structure is in place | 00:04 |
| Kingsy101 | grub | 00:04 |
| gareim | small question here: im on 9.04 with ext3. when 9.10 comes out and i upgrade, will it automatically make me ext4? | 00:04 |
| jfaosdp | someone has installed ubuntu in his Mac ? | 00:04 |
| Kingsy101 | do I need to go into a root prompt ? or fix xserver? or what? | 00:04 |
| plaguehiv | if i want to install Compiz it is just to run "sudo aptitude install compiz" right? | 00:04 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: try root prompt | 00:04 |
| Kingsy101 | ok | 00:04 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - ok I am there | 00:05 |
| arand | gareim: no, you'd have to do that manually, and it is not complete even then I've heard. | 00:05 |
| Alvinware | delly, so does that mean when i chat with a hacker, he may successfully hacked in my system? | 00:05 |
| Akufen | sketchyd_ it seems you need to try it multiple times, and there's another solution further down the page | 00:05 |
| delly | gareim: Nope <.< | 00:05 |
| DasEi | gareim : you can turn ext3 to ext4 any time, but from that on only futuure data will be written in ext4, works also on 9.04 | 00:05 |
| gareim | arand: thanks for the response. ill do it manually when 9.10 comes out then... i been hearing theres stuff wrong with it right now | 00:06 |
| gareim | thanks for the replies guys | 00:06 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: does keyboard work ? | 00:06 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - yep | 00:06 |
| delly | Alvinware: Only if he knows how, just like about anything else. How hard it is for a pro hacker to get is, thats easy for the hacker since we are talking a pro. BUT the OS itself is harder to hack the Windows, and thats a bloody good point to have in the back of your head. | 00:06 |
| arand | gareim: so 9.10 seems to be very much a "fresh install" release, what with grub2 ext4 and all... | 00:06 |
| legend2440 | sketchyd_: command is actually sudo apt-get -f install | 00:06 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - can I pm you it would be easier ? | 00:06 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_backup | 00:06 |
| YaManicKill | can someone give me the default startup applications in a vanilla ubuntu gnome installation? cause i managed to delete them all | 00:07 |
| sketchyd_ | akufen - yeah, thats what im doing | 00:07 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: no need, short way | 00:07 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:07 |
| guestadmin | Anyone know how to restore a missing "Startup Applications" tab from my System>Preferences Tab, It just disappeared...sigh ;) | 00:07 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - its just I am not really sure about making a backup of that file, I edited that for a reason you see | 00:07 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_backup | 00:07 |
| arand | gareim: Yea, I've heard there are pretty rough changes atm, I'm running it on one coputer but I haven't pushed in the latest big changes yet... | 00:07 |
| Akufen | sketchyd_ you're root right? or using sudo? | 00:08 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - ok 1 sec | 00:08 |
| gareim | arand: wait, so does that mean that if I want some of the benefits of 9.10 (faster boot time), i might as well do a fresh install? | 00:08 |
| Alvinware | delly, ext4 is stable, not beta? | 00:08 |
| sketchyd_ | yeah, using sudo | 00:08 |
| sketchyd_ | akufen - ive tried running it a few times, and no dice | 00:08 |
| legend2440 | sketchyd_: you on jaunty? what were you installing when it broke? | 00:08 |
| Raydiation | why doesnt nautilus restart itself after ive killed it? | 00:08 |
| mr_steve | guestadmin: thinking about it, it just occurred to me you can try right clicking on the menu and choosing "Edit Menus" | 00:08 |
| Raydiation | i still see no desktop | 00:08 |
| sketchyd_ | mysql | 00:09 |
| delly | Alvinware: it is quite stable, but not debian stable stable. There are random files going missing once in a while, so its stable as in 0.8 :P | 00:09 |
| legend2440 | sketchyd_: you on jaunty? | 00:09 |
| arand | gareim: It is probably fully possible to do the upgrade and conversion ext3-ext4 etc. but it seems like there will be a good deal of manaul work involed if you'd want all the benefits... | 00:09 |
| sketchyd_ | im on jaunty, trying to re-install mysql | 00:09 |
| Alvinware | triiiiiiplee mooooonsteeeer kills! | 00:09 |
| mr_steve | guestadmin: that should give you a list of enabled and disabled menu items. If Startup Applications doesn't show up in that list, however, I'm at a loss | 00:09 |
| delly | Alvinware: i am considering downgrading my root FS in case something randomly disturbing needed files go missing <.< | 00:09 |
| guestadmin | mr_steve, ok giving it a try | 00:09 |
| vr_mex | after doing sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart i got Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key so how do i generate those system wide keys? | 00:10 |
| gareim | arand: i think i'll manually upgrade then... mainly because i lost my flash drive so i cant make a live usb. =p | 00:10 |
| === arquebus is now known as shintaro | ||
| YaManicKill | can someone give me the default startup applications in a vanilla ubuntu gnome installation? cause i managed to delete them all | 00:10 |
| Alvinware | delly, ext4 for debian is stable, but not for ubuntu? | 00:10 |
| blognewb | i think i got blindsided. I just purchased a VPSLink account then i saw http://corenetworks.net/dedicated/discount/ | 00:11 |
| gareim | hey, why is it that on windows, open office could do .docx files, but not i dont see an option on ubuntu?? | 00:11 |
| delly | Alvinware: Ext4 is close to stable but not stable. Debian is the distro that is the definition of stable, going by word. | 00:11 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - ok thats done.. is there a command to re-start ? I guess thats the next step ? | 00:12 |
| delly | Alvinware: with the sole catch of Sidux existsing(debian unstable), which is a testing distro for people bleeding for bleeding edge :P | 00:12 |
| Jared555 | hello, is it normal for apt-get to return the progress of downloads like Kilobytes of Megabytes completed? | 00:12 |
| Jared555 | http://jared555.com/screenshot/snapshot1.png | 00:12 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: you ran both commands ? | 00:12 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - yup | 00:12 |
| guestadmin | mr_Steve: would "Sessions" be the same thing? | 00:12 |
| Xchatchatdf_ | Hello. | 00:12 |
| Jared555 | actually, bytes of kilobytes/megabytes | 00:12 |

| Alvinware | delly, why some times, ubuntu got routine check, when i boot up my pc? | 00:13 |
| saif | pls help .... yahoo acoount and pidgin is not working any more | 00:13 |
| saif | any info`s here ?? | 00:14 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - yea but if I change the file names back wont the problem come back ? the mouse and keyboard wont work ? | 00:14 |
| Xchatchatdf_ | I made an ext3 partition and i want to copy files from my current ext3 partition. | 00:14 |
| YaManicKill | arand: perfect, thanks :) | 00:14 |
| mr_steve | guestadmin: okay, in the version of Gnome 8.04 uses, I believe startup apps are configured in the sessions control panel | 00:14 |
| saif | :( | 00:14 |
| mr_steve | guestadmin: but since I don't have that version handy, I can't give you many more details :( | 00:14 |
| Bmw1000c | hello guys | 00:14 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: as they are both not mentioned in xorg, it'll be something else; I wonder why you use framebuffer, but just restart | 00:15 |
| guestadmin | mr_steve thats probably the issue, I might have been in "sessions" under the tab "startup programs" | 00:15 |
| saif | gyachi didnt work 2 | 00:15 |
| Bmw1000c | is there any msn client that fully support group messaging and multi location login? | 00:15 |

| kripz | Why is my JFS raid5 always entering read only mode? Im getting errors in dmesg but i dont know what is causing it. Ive run samsung diagnostic tools on all the harddrives and smarmontools, they all pass. Tested ram with memtest, passed. Heres log: http://pastebin.com/m2f62fbf0 | 00:15 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - just re-started it still doesnt work | 00:16 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - the keyboard and mouse are still not working I mean | 00:16 |
| bugfly | sketchyd_, have you try sudo apt-get remove mysql | 00:16 |
| arand | !sudo | Xchatchatdf_ | 00:16 |
| ubottu | Xchatchatdf_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 00:16 |
| piroko | Anyone know why after I set my fan1_output in /sys to a higher value, it returns to where it was after a second? | 00:16 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: back to rootprompt | 00:16 |
| delly | Alvinware: Thats to check the file system quite simple to check for random errors(which are rare), it can be disabled but its just there for random reasons. Its quite usefull when its needed, or if fragmentation is starting | 00:16 |
| crash2108_ | How can I get this thing to actually install?! I know the CD works with the same drive on another computer. | 00:16 |
| guestadmin | mr_steve, seems fine now, I guess it was versio difference, than God that was all, but now Im also prepared for an upgrade. A very educational day on XChat for me indeed. thx | 00:16 |
| sketchyd_ | bugfly - yeah - it throws an error when it tries to stop the server | 00:16 |
| Datz | Hi, can I remove these URL's from my sources.list ? Are those URL's gone for good? http://paste.ubuntu.com/225200/ | 00:16 |
| mr_steve | guestadmin: glad I could help | 00:16 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - ok.. | 00:17 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - I am there, what now.. ? | 00:17 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: apt-get install pastebinit | 00:17 |
| vr_mex | after doing sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart i got Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key so how do i generate those system wide keys? | 00:17 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101: pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 00:17 |
| Kingsy101 | pastebinit didnt install | 00:18 |
| delly | Alvinware: so its like condoms, its just nice have it there fixing random errors in case they ever appere or is just minor. | 00:18 |
| crash2108_ | Anyone know? | 00:18 |
| piroko | I'm on a macbook pro 5 btw | 00:18 |
| Alvinware | delly, so, ext3 got fragmentation too, hot to fix it? | 00:18 |
| Alvinware | delly, i mean how? | 00:18 |
| Grizmawe | Datz: yes - you can remove them fine, they are just the backport entries. Also gutsy is no longer supported as of april so you might want to consider upgrading to 8.10 (hardy) | 00:18 |
| Datz | Grizmawe: Ok thanks. :) | 00:19 |
| losher | vr_mex: the keys are usually autogenerated when you do a successfull sshd (Note the d at the end of sshd) install. Did that not happen? | 00:19 |
| th0r | Alvinware: linux drives don't suffer from fragmentation | 00:19 |
| crash2108_ | Excuse me for being a bit of a linux noob. | 00:19 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101:is that jaunty / 9.04 ? | 00:19 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - oh I think I have it 1 sec | 00:19 |
| vr_mex | losher: when i did the sudo: /etc/init.d/sshd restart i got a command not found | 00:20 |
| delly | Alvinware: It barely happens, unless your running a server with several gigs of data going trough raid disk every day, its not going to appere. And the fragmentation is still minor. | 00:20 |
| Alvinware | th0r, linux drive never ever fragment? | 00:20 |
| piroko | Ah. Apparently I had to set fan1_manual to 1. Any reason why the fans wouldn't kick in automatically even though my laptop was getting hot? | 00:20 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - naw I cant get pastebinit installed | 00:20 |
| th0r | Alvinware: nope....the way linux records info fragmentation isn't a problem. | 00:20 |
| losher | crash2108_: noobs are welcome here. Usually you just put the CD in & it boots. So I dunno. Check the md5sum on the cd? | 00:20 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101:ping googlecom <<network reachable ? | 00:21 |
| bobbob1016 | For some reason my PC has started shutting down on boot. I started it in recovery and it seems that it is trying to fsck and then shuts down. I did remove a drive before, but it booted fine after that. Any ideas? | 00:21 |
| th0r | Alvinware: there is no 'defrag' in linux | 00:21 |
| Almtesh | Hi! | 00:21 |
| Almtesh | Good… | 00:21 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 ping googlecom <<network reachable ? | 00:21 |
| delly | th0r, Alvinware: it does have fragment, but it does not suffer from it in contrast to Windows XP where it slowly earts your system alive | 00:21 |
| losher | vr_mex: then you don't have sshd installed. Do you understand the difference between ssh and sshd? Let me know if not... | 00:21 |
| Almtesh | th0r no defrag on linux. | 00:21 |
| arand | Alvinware: they do, but not to any great extent, normally "normal users" do not need to care about it. | 00:21 |
| Almtesh | th0r but why. | 00:21 |
| bobbob1016 | DasEi: "ping google.com" | 00:21 |
| Grizmawe | vr_mex: try doing a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server | 00:21 |
| Almtesh | th0r It might be useful. | 00:21 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - it says unknown host | 00:21 |
| bobbob1016 | DasEi: Without quotes | 00:21 |
| delly | th0r, Almtesh: Ext4 got defrag | 00:21 |
| crash2108_ | losher, I booted the CD up in the same CD drive just connected to a different computer. The drive and CD are good. I don't know what's up. I guess it can't handle a fresh computer. | 00:21 |
| th0r | Almtesh: what do you mean why...the use a different way of organizing info on the drive, so there is no defrag | 00:22 |
| vr_mex | losher: i do have sshd installed i do which sshd and get /usr/sbin/sshd | 00:22 |
| bobbob1016 | sorry, then Kingsy101: "ping google.com" without quotes, try www.google.com too | 00:22 |
| arand | !defrag | 00:22 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 00:22 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 : /etc/init.d/networking restart | 00:22 |
| th0r | thanks arand | 00:22 |
| Almtesh | Ah, you're speaking about ext4 delly th0r ? | 00:22 |
| th0r | Almtesh: ext3 and ext4....same game | 00:22 |
| Almtesh | Of course! | 00:22 |
| losher | vr_mex: If I were you, I would reinstall it, as it seems like something went wrong with your install.... | 00:23 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - done but the ping still doesnt work | 00:23 |
| delly | Almtesh, th0r: Ext3 got no defrag tools, Ext4 got one. Ext4 also got some upgrades over Ext3, but its not entirely stable. | 00:23 |
| piroko | delly: "Not entirely stable"? Says who? | 00:23 |
| gareim | should i (can i even?) run clam av across the whole filesystem? or is it enough to do my home folder? | 00:23 |
| vr_mex | losher: how do i reinstall do i uninstall via synaptic and the re install ? | 00:23 |
| losher | crash2108_: it's not unheard of. Some hardware can't boot & run Ubuntu. It's rare though. Try googling your make & model number & see if other people report an incompatibility.... | 00:23 |
| delly | piroko: as in "server buisniss" where 1 lost file is a nightmare of doomsday :P | 00:24 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 : ifconfig <<ip assigned ? | 00:24 |
| === eddie is now known as Guest71603 | ||
| piroko | delly: That's fine, but you still didn't say what makes you think it isn't stable :/ | 00:24 |
| losher | vr_mex: yes, that would work fine. Keep an eye out for messages about generating keys when you do the reinstall... | 00:24 |
| Datz | Grizmawe: I have my updater set to only update when a long term release is ready. Can I update to a longterm release yet? | 00:24 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - I don't really know what we are doing now, we are a little off the point | 00:25 |
| vr_mex | losher: ok thanks let me try it out | 00:25 |
| delly | piroko: its more like nitpicking non-stable. Its more than stable enough for a normal user, but there is some minor issue that still could remain :P So basicaly its stable from a regular point of view | 00:25 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 : I try to get it to network to gather more information; it's little weird, you got keyb. working on cmdline, but not on xserver | 00:25 |
| Grizmawe | Datz: then you should already be running 7.10 - Hardy Herron was the last LTS release. do the rest of the source lines refer to gutsy too or are they hardy? | 00:26 |
| delly | gareim: the home folder is enough, i highly doubt you put files anywhere else. | 00:26 |
| Grizmawe | vr_mex: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-July/119928.html | 00:26 |

| Datz | Grizmawe: I am running 8.04 | 00:26 |
| Alvinware | delly, if i install wine, windows virus may be able to infect my pc, and cause problems? | 00:26 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - I am starting to get really annoyed with it, all I wanted to do was get the resolution a little higher and ALL of this is happening | 00:26 |
| pik} | is there any way to fix so links in pidgin opens in firefox 3.5 and not the old version of firefox? | 00:26 |
| Kingsy101 | the cdrom isnt even ejecting on it... | 00:27 |
| th0r | Alvinware: viruses could only infect the wine install, they wouldn't get into the linux os itself | 00:27 |
| dreamy | why is hyperz making my card decrease perfomance instead of boosting ? i got a radeon 7000 | 00:27 |
| piroko | delly: I meant, give me your source for this info | 00:27 |
| crash2108_ | losher I hear I should put a floppy drive in for the install. There's no workaround for that? | 00:27 |
| th0r | piroko: good question | 00:27 |
| losher | Alvinware: that said, I've never seen a report of wine being infected. I think because wine users don't surf from inside wine as a rule... | 00:28 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 : then just delete content of the actual xorg.conf and restart with blank one | 00:28 |
| Datz | Grizmawe: I guess those URL's should have been removed when I updated to 8.04 from 7.10 | 00:28 |
| Grizmawe | Datz: sorry -my bad, 8.04 is the LTS release. In that case the gutsy lines you pasted must be leftovers. Can be safely removed. Make a backup of your sources file if you wish first | 00:28 |
| losher | crash2108_: I've never heard of that. You got that from google? | 00:28 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 : nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:28 |
| Alvinware | th0r, so, it wouldn't cause any problem at all? | 00:28 |
| crash2108_ | Googled and forum threads come up. | 00:28 |
| Guest71603 | hi, looking for a good program that could erase temporary internet files, cookies and things who slows down the computer, used CG-Cleaner for windows XP but what free program do you folks recommend for ubuntu :O | 00:28 |
| jfaosdp | how many rpm's do you advise me for an iMac in ubuntu ? :P | 00:28 |
| delly | Alvinware: only if you run the viruses. Aka running browser from wine, then doing all apps there, etc. And still you could remove the viruses acces from everything outside the wine folder in case you got a strike of paranoia :P | 00:29 |
| delly | piroko: Mainly a few sysadmin i have been talking to, its just nitpicking anyway...... | 00:29 |
| Datz | Grizmawe: Ok, thanks. Now if I could only find those URL's in sources.list | 00:29 |
| th0r | Alvinware: the worst case it would infect the wine install, you would have to reinstall wine. But as losher said...if you use wine you still do your web browsing in linux so windows viruses aaren't a problem | 00:29 |
| vr_mex | Grizmawe: I would like to have a passphrase bu in the link you posted says: Do not encrypt the private | 00:29 |
| vr_mex | key with a passphrase -- just hit <Enter> at the passphrase prompt. why? | 00:29 |
| arand | th0r: actually, since wine has write and read access to your whole home directory (and all other dirs you have rw to) quite nasty things _can_ happen, I've heard about one that dumped .EXE files all over these directories... not directly harmful but annoying and a bugger to clean up afterwards. | 00:29 |
| Guest71603 | hi, looking for a good program that could erase temporary internet files, cookies and things who slows down the computer, used CG-Cleaner for windows XP but what free program do you folks recommend for ubuntu :O | 00:30 |
| th0r | arand: yeah....it would be a mess, but it wouldn't do any permanent damage | 00:30 |
| pik} | is there any way to fix so links in pidgin opens in firefox 3.5 and not the old version of firefox? | 00:30 |
| losher | crash2108_: Normally you don't need a floppy. If the PTB say you need one for your particular hardware as a workaround for a bug, then who am I to say different? | 00:30 |
| gareim | pik}: maybe try to make 3.5 your default? | 00:31 |
| arand | th0r: Unless you consider completely thrashing your login with all your configurations "permanent" no. | 00:31 |
| piroko | delly: So in other words you have nothing but the ramblings of someone who probably doesn't even code ;) | 00:31 |
| DasEi | pik}: you can set it in buudylist >tools > preferences | 00:31 |
| Davey_ | Hardy is still under LTS, right? | 00:32 |
| DasEi | Davey_: yes | 00:32 |
| Alvinware | delly, clamav got both the linux, and windows viruses databases? | 00:32 |
| th0r | arand: it is highly doubtful it could do all that...it would have to be smart enough to address drive Z and then navigate to your home directory | 00:32 |
| crash2108_ | I don't know what a PTB is, losher... I'm still getting "/bin/sh: Can’t access tty; job control turned off" despite all these workarounds. | 00:32 |
| DasEi | !LTS | Davey_ | 00:32 |
| ubottu | Davey_: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 | 00:32 |
| vr_mex | Can system wide rsa and dsa keys be generated to use a passphrase? if not why? | 00:32 |
| losher | vr_mex: the *host* key just identifies the server. It's a safety feature to alert you in case someone replaces the server with a counterfeit machine. It's different to the *session* keys you use to login. You don't want a passphrase for the host key. | 00:32 |

| Kingsy101 | ok I have a really weird issue here, my ubuntu PC is having some really weird problems, the cd-rom light is staying on along with the HD light .. it boots up fine but the resolution is wrong and the mouse and keyboard don't work outside of grub | 00:33 |
| Kingsy101 | anyone got an idea ? | 00:33 |
| pik} | DasEi: oh sorry embarrassing, missed that in settings ;) | 00:33 |
| losher | crash2108_: PTB == powers that be i.e. people who know more about this than you or I. I'm sorry, but it sounds like you have a hardware problem which I can't solve for you... | 00:33 |
| arand | th0r: well undoubtedly they already do: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598 | 00:33 |
| vr_mex | losher: Aaahhhh so that is why!!! :-) | 00:33 |
| DasEi | pik}: np | 00:34 |
| losher | vr_mex: the beginnings of wisdom, grasshopper :-) | 00:34 |
| arand | th0r: I guess since wine willingly shows it all those drives it just writes to everything it can get it's hands on, not that hard. | 00:34 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - you got any other ideas about fixing this mouse and keyboard fault ? | 00:34 |
| vr_mex | losher: so then i do not need to regenerate them just leave them there alone... :-))) | 00:34 |
| Evelina | I want to filter the feeds in PlanetPlanet. Anyone knows how to filter out content in PlanetPlanet feed aggregator? | 00:35 |

| DasEi | Kingsy101: take a look at /var/log/syslog and kernel.log, without further info it's like a crystall ball | 00:35 |
| vr_mex | losher: since i moved them can you please give me the permissions they should have so that i place them back again correctly | 00:35 |
| th0r | arand: and all of that started when he ran some viruses he had collected using wine....god don't help dumb | 00:35 |

| Kingsy101 | DasEi - ok 1 sec | 00:36 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101:also your setting using framebuffer often causes trouble, jaunty's xorg is empty by default | 00:36 |
| Dekko | Hello everybody! | 00:36 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - so perhaps reconfigure without framebuffer ? | 00:36 |
| losher | vr_mex: the host key is usually generated *once* when you install sshd. After that, you generally don't want it to change because if it changes, ssh will worry that it means the machine changed. It's just a security feature. Session keys for logging in are dealt with separately. | 00:36 |
| Alvinware | so with wine, i can get windows viruses/trojans, and pass it to other persons windows system, when sharing files with them, good, lol. | 00:37 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101:yes, just for the res only need the "modes = ... " line | 00:37 |
| * Dekko is wondering if THIS is a BUG: I have a Geforce 9600GT graphicscard running the latest Nvidia drivers from nvidia. Having two monitors setup as separate X servers... all works NICELY except switching to a text console. That blacks out both monitors. If I use Twinview (stretch) it works. | 00:37 | |
| losher | Alvinware: most of us don't consider the ability to pass on a virus as a good thing :-) | 00:37 |
| arand | th0r: Well, it was for an experimental reason. However, it does not lessen the fact that wine and viruses may be considerably harmful. | 00:37 |
| vr_mex | losher: since i moved them can you please give me the permissions they should have so that i place them back again correctly | 00:37 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - I will just try and get the keyboard and mouse back first.. | 00:37 |
| th0r | arand: looks like I will have to concede that one | 00:38 |

| th0r | arand: would be interested in knowing how those got into /usr without the root password. The files he found in ~/.local/share/applications don't surprise me...that is where wine puts the .desktop files for installed software | 00:39 |
| jurgs | Is there a way to mount my slave drive so that I can use unetbootin on it. Also i'm using a wubi install of xubuntu on a win98 comp | 00:39 |
| losher | vr_mex: my host keys are in /etc/ssh and have permissions rw for root for the private part, and rw-r-r for the public part. Does this make sense? | 00:39 |
| Alvinware | losher, but that's all the servers running in unix/linux do every days by passing those nasty things to windows client, and got them infected, because they don't stop it. | 00:39 |
| arand | th0r: what I think is that wine needs restrictive sandboxing, tightly confined to ~/wine/c_drive/ | 00:39 |
| sharif | dose someone notice me ? | 00:39 |
| th0r | arand: agreed...I thought that was the default install | 00:40 |

| dis | My problem is sound for the internet. The sound is coming from my USB card. I broke the sound card 6 months ago. My windows XP is working fine(audio and video). I d/l'ed adobe flash 10 and java. No success. The video is good, but the audio is off for my browser. Any thoughts or ideas? | 00:40 |

| arand | th0r: it is not, it has full rw to everything the user has through the Z: device, which is kinda scary... | 00:41 |
| losher | arand: I agree. I'm surprised more people don't do that.. | 00:41 |
| sharif | I got a display problem | 00:41 |
| th0r | arand: that is....I wasn't aware of that. Will have to look into limiting that 'feature' | 00:41 |

| Alvinware | losher, gnome is a x windows server? can i use kde in ubuntu, and switch between them? | 00:44 |
| ibuclaw | Alvinware, no ... Gnome is a Desktop Environment :) | 00:45 |
| crash2108_ | This is such bullshit | 00:45 |
| dabj01 | Alvinware, yes | 00:45 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - if I can pastie the logs do you think you will be able to help ? if so I will just use a live CD ? | 00:45 |
| th0r | arand: well...now you got me spooked. I could dump wine but I need dreamweaver | 00:45 |
| ibuclaw | Alvinware, KDE is a Desktop Environment too ... and yes, you can switch between both freely :) | 00:45 |
| crash2108_ | Is it a problem that my harddrive is unpartitioned (brand new), losher? | 00:45 |
| Alvinware | ibuclaw, How? | 00:45 |
| losher | Alvinware: you can use either. And there are dozens more if you don't like those... | 00:46 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101:could do, but what happens if you just start blank ? | 00:46 |
| Davey_ | how can I downgrade python? if it failed to install | 00:46 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - hmm I suppose I could but I have ALOT of stuff installed.. | 00:46 |
| ibuclaw | Alvinware, logout ... and when you enter the Login Screen, you should see the Word 'Session' in the (bottom left?) hand corner. | 00:46 |
| Kingsy101 | what will happen to all of my files and programs ? | 00:46 |
| losher | crash2108_: normally, as part of an install, the installer will walk you through partitioning the drive, so no. I repeat: I believe you have a hardware incompatibilty and there may not be a workaround.... | 00:46 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101:I speak of blank xorg | 00:47 |
| jurgs | is it possible to mount a slave drive for use with unetbootin? I am using a wubi install of xubuntu 8.10 on a win98 computer | 00:47 |
| ibuclaw | Alvinware, select it and it will present a list of possible logins ... You only need to be concerned about KDE and Gnome options. | 00:47 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - oh that sounds cool but how do i do that ? | 00:47 |
| sharif | losher: OK thanks | 00:47 |
| arand | th0r: well so far only people that have intentionally run viruses have been affected (afaik) so currently the problem might not be that big, and as long as you are selective with the apps that runs in wine I guess the safety might be satisfiable, it might become a considerable hole in the future though, if nothing is done... | 00:47 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 : nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, delete every content (rootprompt) | 00:47 |

| th0r | arand: agreed. If kompozer didn't crash on tables I could dump dreamweaver, but until there is a decent wysiwyg html editor I will stick with wine | 00:49 |
| losher | crash2108_: does windows run on your new hardware? | 00:49 |
| Kingsy101 | DasEi - i.e it makes a new default one ? | 00:49 |
| ibuclaw | Alvinware, ie: you can run KTorrent in both KDE and Gnome. But the application may look slightly different when running from different DE's | 00:49 |
| losher | Alvinware: winlux appears to be a news site. Was there something specific you wanted me to see there? | 00:49 |
| DasEi | Kingsy101 :it's empty by default, so should boot fine | 00:50 |

| === mike is now known as Guest21730 | ||

| jdu | jurgs, does it not show up in gnome? | 00:59 |
| New | What drives are required for ubuntu? | 00:59 |
| arand | New: could be your hard drive physically going down, but try running fsck from a livecd (provided you cannot boot the normal install) to tryto fix the errors | 00:59 |
| New | Ummmm....Fsck....? I'm not that computer saavy | 00:59 |
| Spikemcc | Firefox on ubuntu hardy heron 8.04.3 LTS x64 is unstable ... 3.0.11 and 3.5.1 does the same ... | 01:00 |
| mechtech | new: disable your floppy drive in the bios on your computer and try again | 01:00 |
| jdu | SuspectZero, you can use the update-rc.d command | 01:00 |
| arand | New: so what is the problem you are having... is ubuntu refusing to start? | 01:00 |
| New | Ummmm I don't have a floppy drive....and how do I do that? | 01:00 |
| jurgs | jdu it is a FAT 32 and it doesn't matter where it is mounted, I'm just trying to mount it to install a fresh distro | 01:00 |
| Spikemcc | got an idea to repair firefox ? | 01:00 |
| Alvinware | Prooak, if adobe got linux version, then good, if not goto add/remove, synaptic package manager, or plugin remove, and visit any website created with flash, to get the pop up install the plugin. | 01:01 |
| jdu | jurgs, hmm. so: mount -t fat /dev/sdb1 /your/mount/point | 01:01 |
| Spikemcc | hey !!! | 01:01 |

| jurgs | ok and do you know if this will allow me to use unetbootin on it? | 01:02 |
| New | The only thing Ubuntu is ever able to install is the clock | 01:02 |
| mechtech | new: reboot the computer...during the first few seconds of booting, the computer screen will tell you what key to press to enter the bios settings...in there, you will see options for disabling your floppy drive (even though you don't have one) you will also find boot options...tell the bios not to try to boot to a floppy | 01:02 |

| Alvinware | ProfOak, Oh, Yeah, Prof., of-course i didn't think all the linux, and windows mix-up things deeply, that's why i didn't create it, and just wonder, cause game in windows more, linux for security, and got a lot of things in the middle, like more free softwares on both side, more free to configure, and so on...! | 01:04 |
| mechtech | runemaximus: during installation of ubuntu options will be offerd for dual boot...choose the correct drive for installing ubuntu, then tell the installer to put the GRUB loader onto the same Master boot record with Vista...voila! | 01:05 |
| lmiller | I want to purchase a pci wireless adapter card | 01:05 |
| arquebus | linuxguy2009- or you could create a user account for your neice with very low permissions | 01:05 |
| lmiller | Which is more like to work with minimum hassle: a dlink, linksys or netgear wireless-g pci adapter? | 01:05 |
| linuxguy2009 | jdu: What is Xephyr? | 01:05 |
| jurgs | jdu my cd drive is busted, is there a way to install on my master drive then? | 01:05 |
| mechtech | lmiller: I have had great success with linksys cards | 01:05 |
| jdu | SuspectZero, yes, update-rc.2 is the correct way. but you can simply change the appropriate file name (w/ apache in it) of in /etc/rc.2/ ala the instructions in the directory | 01:05 |
| RuneMaximus | thanks mechtech tried to isntall osx86 previously and totaly messed things up... | 01:05 |
| ProfOak | Alvinware: You'd be wasting time trying to put them together. Eventually, you'd start from scratch, or give up. | 01:05 |
| mechtech | runemaximus: Ouch! and no problem | 01:06 |
| jdu | linuxguy2009, an X server like X.org but you can run it in a window or full screen and could use it cover everything else up. | 01:06 |
| Spikemcc | lmiller if you want something real good and don't mind a little hassle try usb alfa 500 mw it's dangerously hot when used well | 01:06 |

| fission61 | ia m running ubuntu and just installed WINE, ia m trying to run teamviewer (a window app), it takes forever to load but i did get it to randomly show up at one point, what gives? | 01:32 |
| losher | Seven_Six_Two: rsync will run over ssh and can be used to backup an arbitrary set of files... | 01:32 |
| Alvinware | istarnes, oh yeah just fixed it. | 01:32 |
| cooper77z | can I use firefox addons in epiphany? Stupid question I know, but sometimes one can actually do those type of things | 01:32 |
| losher | Seven_Six_Two: come to think of it, you can run dd over ssh too if needed... | 01:32 |
| Pici | fission61: #winehq would be the best place to ask wine questions. Also, have you seen the appdb? | 01:32 |
| epalm | in 9.04, is esata supposed to "just work" ? | 01:32 |

| mechtech | see y'all...about to win 7 my face off | 01:33 |
| mcpancakes | hey all, I've got a slight issue with firefox- some (seemingly most) fonts in Firefox don't display. information that's printed when I run Firefox from the terminal (http://pastie.org/private/jgfrhoj125aro4woq0zqag) leads me to believe that it's an issue with my cairo and/or pango packages. | 01:33 |
| Alex_21 | Hello | 01:34 |
| pik} | i just did a clean install of jaunty and i made a partition with mount point /media/storage. i can see the partion and enter it but i dont have any access. how to fix? | 01:34 |
| cooper77z | thats kind of interesting mcpancakes | 01:34 |
| Alex_21 | Does anyone know of any good poker/Cribbage stand a lone games | 01:34 |
| Alex_21 | ? | 01:34 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 01:34 |
| masterkoppa | pik} : did you mount it as root? | 01:34 |
| mechtech | alex_21: talk about off topic...just a sec | 01:35 |
| Alex_21 | For Ubuntu | 01:35 |
| losher | Seven_Six_Two: no, rsync copies files, not partitions. Check out http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/info.html or maybe http://www.mondorescue.org | 01:35 |
| Alex_21 | Of course | 01:35 |
| losher | !backup | 01:35 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 01:35 |
| masterkoppa | pik} : if not check for permision errors it the most common error | 01:35 |
| jdu | pik}, what fs is it? | 01:35 |
| pik} | reiserFS | 01:35 |
| losher | Seven_Six_Two: see also ubottu above | 01:35 |
| mcpancakes | cooper77z: I was thinking I maybe ought to reinstall both of cairo and pango? | 01:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | that's a lot of links. Thanks all! | 01:35 |
| jdu | pik}, hmm, is the problem because your user does not own the files? | 01:36 |
| pik} | jdu probably | 01:36 |
| jdu | pik}, including the top level dir? | 01:36 |
| Alex_21 | How do I do a search for packages from CLI? | 01:36 |
| Alex_21 | Please | 01:36 |
| losher | Alex_21: apt-cache search <string> | 01:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Alex_21, apt-cache | 01:36 |
| Pici | Alex_21: apt-cache search searchterm | 01:36 |
| mechtech | Alex_21: http://www.brothersoft.com/dd-poker-for-linux-97737.html | 01:36 |
| cooper77z | I don't know, but I was thinking that all the libraries don't work without direct control in the terminal? | 01:36 |
| jdu | pik}, so you can probably fix it by running: chown -R youruser:youruser /media/storage | 01:36 |

| spursncowboys | hello everyone. If I was brand new to linux and got an ubuntu book and crunchbang on my laptop, would the book help me out? | 01:40 |

| mcpancakes | GNOME | 01:40 |
| mcpancakes | normal intrepid | 01:41 |
| cooper77z | hmmmm.... | 01:41 |
| Alex_21 | Thanks for your help | 01:41 |
| Alex_21 | Good day | 01:41 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, it will help in most cases as their both linux | 01:41 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, also if I'm not mistaken their both based on debian | 01:41 |
| cooper77z | can you install the broadscope font libraries from applications library or synaptic? | 01:42 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, but i would recomend you read their documentation and base anything you do on that | 01:42 |
| CapaH | Ok let me explain what I am trying to do. I want to create an ip address on *this* machine - like 192.168.1.12 or 10.0.4.1 or whatever -- I want it to be so that anything sent to *that* ip address, on port 22 --- goes to a different ip address, on port 99 --- how can I do that? | 01:42 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, that way any support they can give you will be usefull for you | 01:42 |
| === _MrsApple_ is now known as _MrApple_ | ||
| CapaH | in this way I can ssh to blah@10.0.4.1 instead of ssh to blah@_other_ip -p 99 -- removes the need to specify port | 01:43 |
| spursncowboys | Well really I want to buy my nephew the book and send him a disk and let him at it on his dell ispiron 2650 | 01:43 |
| bucky | how come crunchbang doesn't have an irc channel on freenode? | 01:43 |
| spursncowboys | it has 256 mb and I read that is not good enough for ubuntu | 01:43 |
| Pici | bucky: they do. #crunchbang | 01:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | CapaH, /etc/hosts | 01:44 |
| CapaH | ... of course | 01:44 |
| pik} | is there any way to use mouse4 (back) mouse5 (forward) with nautilus? | 01:44 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, the book would be good reference, but if your looking for small size try xubuntu | 01:44 |
| CapaH | Seven_Six_Two, : You can tell etc/hosts an IP address and PORT ? | 01:44 |
| bucky | oh cool 50 users | 01:44 |
| masterkoppa | its made for this type of cases | 01:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | that I'm not sure of... | 01:44 |
| spursncowboys | would that be closer to the referrence type books for ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| losher | CapaH: Seven_Six_Two: no ports in /etc/hosts, sorry... | 01:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | squid? | 01:45 |
| CapaH | ah thats what I need | 01:45 |
| CapaH | I need the port | 01:45 |
| bucky | spursncowboys: the crunchbang wki and forums | 01:45 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, yeah since its the same base code, you would only need to change references in gui tools and you can intall them on top if necesarry | 01:45 |
| mcpancakes | cooper77z, 'sudo aptitude search broadscope' nor searching for 'broadscope' in synaptic yields any results. what is that package? | 01:45 |
| CapaH | Is there a way to assign additional ips to this machine? If so I can modify ssh_config to use default ports | 01:46 |
| cooper77z | not code | 01:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I'm sure squid would do it, although I don't know how easy it is to set up | 01:46 |
| CapaH | ... aliases | 01:46 |
| miroslav_ | amagaaaaaaad ubuntu's kewl! :D | 01:46 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, if you decide to go for crunchbag it would be better to follow their documentation, rather than the ubuntu book | 01:46 |
| pik} | is there any way to use mouse4 (back) mouse5 (forward) with nautilus? | 01:46 |
| cooper77z | but I think if you search ubuntu forums under google gonts your edition you will find the package you could install to enable fonts in firefox | 01:47 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, besides online documentation is always better than a book since its almost allways up to date | 01:47 |
| Pici | spursncowboys: Best to ask in #crunchbang if you're looking for help with it, as it is not an official Ubuntu variant. | 01:47 |
| spursncowboys | masterkoppa: I didn't find an actual paperback book for that, and it said it is ubuntu | 01:47 |
| cooper77z | not gonts fonts | 01:47 |
| spursncowboys | thanks pici, they are helpin, I wasn't sure if anyone was in there to answer earlier. | 01:48 |
| CapaH | yep got it - using alias + /etc/hosts -- got it working | 01:48 |
| mcpancakes | I tried uninstalling/reinstalling msttcorefonts, but that did not fix it. it's not that no fonts show, only some don't. | 01:48 |
| === map7 is now known as map7|away | ||
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, you would probably find more documentation regarding its WM openbox, which is the base of chrunchbag | 01:48 |
| cooper77z | there is a master font installer on the forums | 01:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | CapaH, how'd you do the alias part? | 01:48 |
| bucky | spursncowboys: documentation is usually of date by the time it makes it to print so everything is done on the internet now | 01:48 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, I've persanally used openbox and its very light so its perfect for this case | 01:48 |
| cooper77z | not code | 01:49 |
| bucky | out of date | 01:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | oh nm | 01:49 |
| cooper77z | maybe google font firefox ubuntu forums | 01:49 |
| CapaH | Seven_Six_Two: ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.2.1 | 01:50 |
| CapaH | Just creating an internal ip visible to just this machine | 01:50 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, also have you considered a ram upgrade? | 01:50 |
| CapaH | then I can do whatever port forwarding I want on it | 01:50 |
| cooper77z | I am sure there is a tek on that one I have used it myself | 01:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | CapaH, nice | 01:50 |

| bucky | spursncowboys: 192 MB RAM to run the Live CD or 128 MB RAM to install | 01:52 |
| bucky | Xbuntu | 01:52 |
| spursncowboys | bucky: not that much but I wanted the closest thing to what a beg. ubuntu bk would have. If xubuntu is closer than crunchbang, then that is the one I want. I just don't know | 01:52 |
| masterkoppa | spursncowboys, xubuntu is much closer than crunchbag | 01:53 |
| cooper77z | did that work mcpancakes? | 01:53 |
| bucky | spursncowboys: do you want 1500 users to help you here or 50 users to help you in #crunchbang ? | 01:53 |

| Seven_Six_Two | ltgg, what irc client do you use? (typing my nick makes the conversation easier to follow for me) you could put the lines that look like errors on pastebin.com and give us the link it returns. Without knowing what the error is... | 02:10 |
| bucky | Kira: Xfce is nice if you like that flavor.. it's kinda got it's own feel | 02:10 |
| jrdave | mechtech: NO... its in KB and when divided by 1024 it shows 504MB!!! | 02:10 |
| bucky | Kira: 192 MB RAM to run the Live CD or 128 MB RAM to install Xbuntu | 02:10 |
| mechtech | jrdave: why would you divide by 1024? | 02:11 |
| rambo298 | jrdave: using free or system monitor? | 02:11 |
| jrdave | mechtech: coz the default output is in KB | 02:11 |
| Kira | Can either be used with NX? | 02:12 |
| ltgg | seven: using Xchat ... cannot pastebin output ... do not know ho to do that from where I am ( recovery prompt ) | 02:12 |
| mechtech | jrdave: you need only move the decimal place three places to the left to convert from KB to MB | 02:12 |

| mechtech | when burning an ISO onto a dvd, can I add other files/folders to the burn folder, or would that make the disk not boot when I am done? | 02:13 |
| jrdave | mechtech: 1MB=1024KB and not 1000 | 02:13 |
| rambo298 | ahhh the famous "MB" ... riddle me this ... is an MB= 1000 * 1024 * 1024? or 1000 * 1000 * 1000? or 1000 * 1024 * 1000? | 02:13 |
| arand | !pastebinit | ltgg if you have net | 02:13 |
| stovicek | jrdave: marketing in the storage world isn't entirely accurate as many find with more often with hard drives. same holds true for memory. you probably have somewhere around 512000 bytes in marketing terms, that's 512MB, not 504MB. It all depends on how you divide the bytes, either by 1024 or 1000. | 02:13 |
| ubottu | ltgg if you have net: pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit | 02:13 |

| unitypunk | hey. | 02:14 |
| mechtech | jrdave: as I said before and stoveicek has more verbosely described...rounding | 02:14 |
| stovicek | jrdave: because bios divided it by 1000. Either way, you have a half gig. | 02:14 |
| mechtech | jrdave: therefore, to convert KB into MB, simply move the decimal point three places to the left | 02:15 |

| Seven_Six_Two | ltgg, if you use xchat, just type the first few chars of a nick and hit tab. it will either autocomplete for you or give you a list of possible choices (so hit a few more characters) and tab again | 02:15 |

| SuperBert | unitypunk, to make it easy install gadmin-samba to setup your samba. if you want it open over the internet, have your firewall map in ports 137,138,139. Have the other user connectio to \\ipaddress\share | 02:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ltgg, np. if you're looking for some good reading material (aside from free online docs) I recommend "Linux Administrator Handbook". It's pink and has a cartoon on the front, but it's excellent | 02:23 |
| unitypunk | then they could mount it as a virtual drive right? | 02:23 |
| SuperBert | unitypunk, be aware that samba via internet is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and who can see traffic between you and other user gets the samba password. samba password does not have to be same as a login user's password. samba user does not have to be the same as a login user. you should make the share read only access. | 02:24 |
| === media- is now known as media` | ||
| SuperBert | unitypunk, maybe make your share readonly to public and share over the internet.... | 02:24 |
| SuperBert | unitypunk, yes easily mounted as a drive in windows or linux | 02:24 |
| SuperBert | windows = map z: \\ipaddy\share | 02:25 |
| unitypunk | that sounds perfect. | 02:25 |
| WolfBlood | How do I open alsa mixer in terminal? | 02:25 |

| === logan is now known as Guest9568 | ||
| unitypunk | well im in terminal right now. | 02:28 |
| Ghoti__ | twig11: probably 'adduser' | 02:28 |

| censushq | the sound card and wireless dont work unless i boot in recovery mode | 02:28 |
| jdu | twig11, and perhaps deleteing the home dir first | 02:28 |
| unitypunk | tried apt-get install gadmin-samba and it wasnt found. | 02:28 |
| censushq | is there a permenaent fix to this | 02:28 |
| SuperBert | sudo apt-get install gadmin-samba | 02:28 |
| unitypunk | i already did su., | 02:29 |
| lvlefisto | twig11: i am a user too, but, what i would do is rename the folder, then create the user, and then rename again the folder to match the user's login name | 02:29 |

| Seven_Six_Two | useradd -d /home/username username | 02:29 |
| jdu | lvlefisto, twig11 one could just copy the files | 02:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | the -d sets what the homedir should be | 02:29 |
| bucky | gadmin-openvpn-server and gadmin-openvpn-client are good ones too | 02:30 |
| SuperBert | do you have the universe/multiverse installed? | 02:30 |
| unitypunk | uhh | 02:30 |
| unitypunk | i think so. | 02:30 |
| unitypunk | i should? | 02:30 |
| lvlefisto | jdu: that too =) | 02:30 |
| twig11 | lvlefisto: jdu: and if I just copied files over the permissions would be right if the new user's name was the same as the old one? | 02:30 |
| sephy | Is it me or does firefox always lock up when you try to upload pictures to imageshack, tinypic, flickr? | 02:30 |
| unitypunk | if the files are already smb shared. | 02:30 |
| unitypunk | do i have to do anything to them? | 02:31 |
| sephy | I get the "grey out" effect | 02:31 |
| Ghoti__ | twig11: you'd want do chown -R user:user /home/user/ | 02:31 |
| gareim | sephy: i dont have that problem | 02:31 |
| jdu | twig11, probably, but not always. You might have to use a chown command afterword | 02:31 |
| gareim | sephy: but it happens to me on flickr | 02:31 |
| jdu | like Ghoti__ said | 02:31 |
| lvlefisto | twig11: you can always set the permissions to the folder using chmode -R | 02:31 |
| sephy | I can't get it to work for Imageshack photobucket and tinypic | 02:31 |
| SuperBert | edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list, find the line with "main" and add " universe multiverse". save the file. apt-get update. apt-get install gadmin-samba | 02:31 |
| censushq | ever since i installed virtualbox ose (since removed) my sound card and wireless dont work unlexx i boot to recovery mode | 02:31 |
| SuperBert | if the files are already shared, it's a firewall issue | 02:31 |
| Flannel | twig11: Just use adduser, and tell it to not to create a homedir, it's one of the options. | 02:32 |
| masterkoppa | censushq, have you checked the forums for a solution? | 02:32 |
| SuperBert | gadmin-samba gives you a nice gui to add/remove shares, add/remove users, etc. as it relates to samba | 02:32 |
| twig11 | Ghoti__: lvlefisto: okay I think I can handle that. Flannel: what is the syntax for that? | 02:32 |

| === maximo_ is now known as Nasra | ||
| masterkoppa | twig11, if you want him to be an admin add him to the admins group already created | 02:35 |

| === Nasra is now known as Maximo | ||
| Flannel | Seven_Six_Two: There's no reason to use useradd, adduser is a much better method | 02:35 |

| MagicFab | mechtech yes | 02:39 |
| mechtech | seven_six_two: bootable operating system iso | 02:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mechtech, if you're choosing to burn a data cd/dvd and adding the iso, it wouldn't be bootable anyhow | 02:39 |
| MagicFab | unitxt .deb from their site | 02:39 |
| mechtech | magicfab: yes it will prevent the disk from booting? | 02:40 |
| jefinc | unitxt: I believe ubuntu comes out of the box with a reader, just doesn't have 'adobe' on it | 02:40 |

| Crash2108_ | losher, you here? | 02:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mechtech, it's not the adding of files and folders at burn time that stops it from being bootable. | 02:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Flannel, thanks | 02:41 |
| MagicFab | jefinc corretc. evince it is | 02:41 |
| unitxt | MagicFab: it's a .bin file... | 02:41 |

| MagicFab | blognewb_ with build tools comes great rsponsibility ;) | 02:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mechtech, it's that you're burning a data cd. you need to choose "burn image" | 02:41 |

| censushq | i am rebooting i may return | 02:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | if you want to add files (don't know if you can do this) you would have to mount the iso as loopback device and add the files *before* burning. any comments on whether that would work? | 02:42 |
| gartral | Seven_Six_Two: ive done it, but it can be slower thana program just burning the contents of the iso too disk | 02:44 |

| WolfBlood | Mad: It does not read as muted and says I have 75% volume but no sound at all, sometimes an occasional beep from my system. | 03:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WolfBlood, did you try uninstalling all of the pulse audio packages, then reinstalling the ubuntu-* packages that also get uninstalled then rebooting? | 03:00 |
| Apocapus | ummm....Can having CF Drives....SD Drives and so on affect Ubuntu install? | 03:00 |
| twig11 | Flannel: Seven_Six_Two: so just to make double-sure I'm understanding you correctly, if I want to create a new user with a pre-existing directory as its home directory, I can just go adduser username and that will cause the user to be created, using the existing directory as home instead of overwriting it? | 03:00 |
| twig11 | Should that work? | 03:00 |
| jefinc | padd1: try in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##club-ubuntu | 03:00 |
| eaglestar | yeah i understand but what processor do you have | 03:01 |
| WolfBlood | Seven: I don't know how to uninstall all the pulse audio packages + reinstall. | 03:01 |
| Apocapus | I AMD Athlon | 03:01 |
| Apocapus | I mean Sempron | 03:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | twig11, I think there are more recommended options for adduser. you can see all of them with man adduser | 03:01 |
| donavan_ | ok anyone know if there is a way to re-sort how files are saved on my mp3 player its playing them out of order | 03:01 |
| mechtech | Apocapus: try disabling the USB drive boot option, and/or unplug the readers etc | 03:01 |

| Seven_Six_Two | WolfBlood, are you using gnome? | 03:01 |
| === adam7 is now known as adam8 | ||
| Apocapus | So The USB drive readers do affect the install | 03:02 |
| WolfBlood | Seven: Yes | 03:02 |
| MadCowBoy | check the WolfBlood This troubleshooting guide helped me, Its for 8.10, but the steps should be the same. | 03:02 |
| Apocapus | But I don't know how to disable them their built in | 03:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | run synaptic, search for "pulse" and completely remove them. you'll get a popup saying other packages have to be removed as well. write them down. then apply the changes. when that's done, search for the packages that you wrote down and reinstall them. apply, and when that's done, reboot | 03:03 |
| mechtech | Apocapus: don't disable the drives, just disable the bios option for booting to usb drive, and remove any media that might be in those drives | 03:03 |
| WolfBlood | Seven: I am really, really new. What is synaptic? | 03:04 |
| === ptan1 is now known as ptan99 | ||
| Apocapus | OH Ok.... | 03:04 |
| WolfBlood | Seven: Scratch that, I found it | 03:04 |
| donavan_ | apocapus I have usb card readers on mine and every version I have installed worked fine ... just make sure you dont have any media in it | 03:04 |
| Apocapus | I don't even know how to put media into them | 03:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WolfBlood, make sure that you are removing the pulse audio stuff, because there may be other, non-audio related pkgs with pulse in the name. I don't know | 03:04 |
| twig11 | Seven_Six_Two: I've read man adduser. Unfortunately, I don't think I have enough experience to make sense of how to put this together. What I want to do is create a user whose priveleges would be the equivalent of what is called I think a Desktop User in the "users and groups" GUI. But I want that user's home dir to be the preexisting one in /home. What command would you use for that? | 03:05 |

| Apocapus | Yeah...but their not in at the moment..... | 03:06 |
| Apocapus | I don't have flash cards or shock cards....inserted | 03:06 |
| Apocapus | so how can their be media | 03:06 |
| unitypunk_ | can i do \\dydns\share | 03:07 |
| WolfBlood | Seven: No other packages were removed. | 03:07 |
| unitypunk_ | or must it be ip? | 03:07 |
| evon | I had installed mint to an external drive. i screwed up the grub settings so now I want to install the bootloader on the external drive so that it will boot mint | 03:07 |
| arleslie | Apocapus, just insert a media disk into the slot and it should work | 03:07 |
| Apocapus | But I don't have media disks | 03:07 |
| donavan_ | apocapus... media is any storage you put data on ... if you dont have a card in then there is no media to read ...what exactly are you trying to accomplish | 03:07 |
| Apocapus | I want to install ubuntu | 03:07 |
| unitypunk_ | Do it. | 03:08 |

| Ghoti__ | DVA5912: Yes, you can share a printer with either cups or samba | 03:19 |
| DVA5912 | no | 03:19 |

| arleslie | opengyan, Is there alot of electrical applicanes, between your router and your office? | 03:22 |
| twig11 | Seven_Six_Two: except I haven't done that since earlier, when I imported that directory from a FAT drive. That means my permissions are all messed up and I should run chown right? | 03:23 |
| opengyan | it is just adjacent | 03:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | you would only do that if you needed to change the owner of the files. old user bob will still own the home dir after it's created again. | 03:23 |

| mechtech | dva5912: what make/model printer? | 03:25 |
| arleslie | opengyan, then its not a ubuntu problem or a hardware issue, thats interfarance, there's something blocking your wifi signal to your office. | 03:25 |

| DVA5912 | its a bsd kernel | 03:27 |
| DVA5912 | i didnt know that | 03:27 |
| eaglestar | alright i cannot see flash videos and could see them 2 days ago can someone help me to fix it? | 03:28 |
| mechtech | dva5912: yeah...2002 they introduced OS X based on the free bsd kernel with a glitsy GUI named Darwin | 03:28 |
| paultanoz | i have a question, i try to play mms support tv on Totem, can someone tell me how it should work? | 03:28 |

| DVA5912 | oooh. Good luck with that ^Sarah. try this though. Take her laptop and your ubuntu (if you have that) and run them side by side and show here | 03:30 |
| DVA5912 | thats what i did with my mom | 03:31 |
| DVA5912 | she loves ubuntu | 03:31 |
| arleslie | ^Sarah: you can downgrade to xp... | 03:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ^Sarah, I told my mom that I would fix her comp one more time (few years ago) and if she doesn't take linux, it would be the last time, She's called for help a few times, but didn't complain much. | 03:31 |
| Mannequin | hi. does anyone ever had a touchpad issue that has to be fixed adding "i8042.nomux" to the kernel line on grub? | 03:31 |

| ^Sarah | mechtech: she saw ubuntu when my ibook died last week and I turned her old dell into this ubuntu computer :) | 03:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ^Sarah, I think you have to take in to account the user's skill level. She didn't really know how to use windows either (which is why she kept breaking it!) so it was an easy transition for her. | 03:32 |
| brummbaer | anybody know how to assign functions to media-buttons on a keyboard? | 03:32 |
| brummbaer | ^ubuntu 9 | 03:33 |
| mechtech | ^sarah: and she still prefers windows? | 03:33 |
| [R] | brummbaer: the keyboard shortcuts dialog in gnome lets you do that | 03:33 |
| ^Sarah | mechtech: yeah, she's got a lot of windows dependent programs | 03:33 |

| [R] | PROject-Emerald: fix exploits, fix bugs, new features | 03:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ^Sarah, well it might be frustrating for her at first then...knowing that you don't know is a rough place to be | 03:34 |
| [R] | PROject-Emerald: the same for updating anything | 03:34 |
| mechtech | ^sarah: I'm still hooked on the games...so are my daughters | 03:34 |

| Seven_Six_Two | oops. np Paavi2_0 | 03:35 |

| streblo | can i downgrade python with apt? | 03:36 |
| mechtech | me too *blush* | 03:36 |
| PROject-Emerald | [R]: Well, I have 2 frequently occurring problems and I figured maybe a kernel update would've fixed it | 03:37 |
| [R] | PROject-Emerald: you figured? | 03:37 |
| caffemisto | in completely removing proftpd from my server, i might've accidentally removed the proftpd command from /etc/init.d | 03:37 |
| PROject-Emerald | Yeah, because 9.10alpha fixed those problems I had | 03:37 |
| caffemisto | reinstalling proftpd did not bring it back LOL | 03:37 |
| [R] | PROject-Emerald: well w/o knowing what the "problems" are... saying 9.10 fixed it means nothing | 03:38 |
| PROject-Emerald | One is that the monitor will completely shut off / hibernate, killing everything I was doing forcing a hard restart to bring it back | 03:38 |
| caffemisto | so, how do i get proftpd command back into /etc/init.d? | 03:38 |
| PROject-Emerald | and the other one is the OS will crash and nothing will work / clickable, and the mouse is all jumpy also forcing a hard restart. | 03:38 |
| [R] | PROject-Emerald: your monitor shutting off isnt' going to kill anything | 03:39 |
| masterkoppa | PROject-Emerald: 9.10 has alot of changes, specifically with power management and a new kernel series 2.6.30 | 03:39 |
| [R] | neither of those sound too kernely | 03:39 |
| brummbaer | [R]: what if one of the media buttons doesn't seem to be getting picked up? | 03:39 |
| vancomycin | can someone direct me to the safest drivers or workaround for jaunty and old intel graphics drivers? i just updated and i can barely see anything on my screen. all the fonts /colors everything is out of control | 03:40 |
| PROject-Emerald | When I'm in the middle of some huge paper I have to finish, a hard restart really isn't too good. | 03:40 |
| [R] | brummbaer: then you'll have to map it... there are some docs on the ubuntu wiki about it | 03:40 |
| vancomycin | i'm not looking for editing scripts or anything. just anything official | 03:40 |
| PROject-Emerald | It doesn't come back on unless i either hold the power button down or unplug it. | 03:40 |
| [R] | PROject-Emerald: well if 9.10 works... | 03:40 |
| meanburrito920_ | I'm having issues with firefox being recognized as my default browser. for example, when I select the "open link in browser" option for opening a link from Xchat, nothing happens. I get the same result with automated bug reports; they never open the browser like they should | 03:40 |
| PROject-Emerald | -_- someone told me not to update, that it's extremely buggy and will almost always crash | 03:41 |
| brummbaer | [R]: cool, thx. wasn't sure of the terminology to search for. | 03:41 |
| masterkoppa | PROject-Emerald: This sounds to me like a power management proble, prob from hal since it was eliminated in 9.10 | 03:41 |
| PROject-Emerald | Any way to fix it without updating? | 03:41 |

| rojas | yes cuz of i know how to find them with nautilius | 04:37 |
| lstarnes | NOM1: I checked another site and it's reporting that hydra.sheridaninstitute.ca is down too | 04:38 |
| wcryer | alex___: it says command not found | 04:38 |
| rojas | but i want to put it in mty desktop when i begin my xubuntu | 04:38 |
| rojas | that can be posible? | 04:38 |
| duckwars | Is there any very simple way to add a password to my apache server? | 04:38 |
| NOM1 | lstarnes: could it possibly have something to do with some sort of network settings that may have changed on my laptop?? | 04:39 |
| alex___ | wcryer: Then try sudo aptitude install x-window-system-core then try the other command again | 04:39 |
| JoAnneThrax | I just booted with my laptop connected to my external monitor for the first time, and everything is "squashed" on both monitors. How do I fix this? | 04:39 |

| iJerk | JoAnneThrax, Explain "squashed" | 04:40 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Do you have the nvidia or ATI control centers? | 04:40 |
| wcryer | alex___: still doesn't like it after that x-window thing runs through fine | 04:40 |
| donavan_ | can anyone tell me how why my when I copy audio files to my mp3 player it gets them all out of order even if I copy them one at a time in order | 04:40 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex: ATI | 04:40 |
| rojas | hiii!!! | 04:41 |
| alex___ | wcryer: Hmm... have you tried rebooting after installing gnome? | 04:41 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Do you have CCC installed though? | 04:41 |
| quinton | Anyone here familiar with networking(bridging) ? | 04:41 |

| JoAnneThrax | iJerk: everything is "stretched" horizontally more than it was... | 04:41 |
| wcryer | alex___: yeah maybe again after what i just did, ill let ya know | 04:41 |
| lstarnes | NOM1: it depends on what your settings were before | 04:41 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: I'm not familiar with CCC | 04:41 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: How did you install the ATI Drivers? | 04:42 |

| maccam942 | is there a way to change the LCD backlight level on the command line? | 04:42 |

| rojas | i need to know how can i mount the windows particion on my desktop on xubuntu? | 04:43 |
| rojas | help me please | 04:43 |
| lstarnes | NOM1: IE8 might be caching something | 04:43 |
| alex___ | quinton: It's not a PM, just if you use the other persons nick in the message, it triggers a highlight to make the other person able to see it easier. | 04:43 |
| NOM1 | lstarnes: true | 04:43 |
| lstarnes | NOM1: otherwise, it not working in firefox but working in IE wouldn't make much sense | 04:43 |
| JoAnneThrax | I'm tallking about EVERYTHING. The little square icons in Windowmaker, for example, are no longer squares | 04:44 |
| wcryer | alex___: still doesn't like that, what am i trying to do so i can search for something | 04:44 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: If you haven't manually installed the drivers, then you don't have them... Go to ATI's website and install the latest drivers | 04:44 |
| quinton | alex___: ah okay mb. I need to bridge my Xbox 360 and my ubuntu install. I've done it on Windows many times | 04:44 |

| quinton | alex___: I've got it working about half. I can get the bridge up and my xbox connected but ii lose connection on my pc | 04:44 |
| NOM1 | lstarnes: i was able to access it a couple of weeks ago, this is an odd problem. something very stupid, probably. | 04:45 |
| user01 | is it a gdm issue? | 04:45 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex____: they've been working fine for the last five days...it's only when I plugged in the HD external monitor that it's squashed everything (on both) | 04:45 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: Given that do you still think it's a driver issue? | 04:46 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: You've been running it as if you've been running Windows in "VGA Mode"... you only have basic use of the card, not all the functions. | 04:46 |
| winda | silver anggel | 04:46 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: Ah... | 04:46 |
| quinton | alex___: However, when I run commands to set the default gateway on my pc and dhclient eth0, I can get internet access for about a second or two on my pc then it drops back out | 04:46 |
| === ResidentCommie is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| user01 | can you fix it for the next release? | 04:46 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: I think the first thing to try is the driver. if that doesn't work we can try something else. | 04:46 |
| alex___ | quinton: So... are you saying your having problems with the internet all together, or just to the xbox? | 04:47 |
| user01 | or is it an issue with the proprietary nvidia driver that wouldnt be? | 04:47 |
| quinton | alex___: Well with the bridge up, my xbox works, not my pc. With the bridge down, pc works but not xbox(internet connection i mean) | 04:47 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: should I get the linux x86_64 version? | 04:47 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Did you install the 64 bit or the 32 bit OS? | 04:48 |
| JoAnneThrax | The processor's 64 bit; I'm assuming ubuntu could determine? | 04:48 |
| alex___ | quinton: Hmm... that's odd lol. Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you | 04:48 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: What ISO did you download? | 04:48 |
| JoAnneThrax | It didn't give me the option of chosing it manually... | 04:48 |
| JoAnneThrax | Uh...ISO? | 04:48 |
| * JoAnneThrax did a network install... | 04:48 | |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Oh... | 04:49 |
| JoAnneThrax | Is there a way I can tell which is installed? It seems to recognize the full 4GB of RAM... | 04:49 |
| quinton | alex___: Like when i use konsole: inup br0 , my xbox connects fine. but my pc internet is down. so i use sudo route add default gateway 192.168.0.1 then dhclient eth1 and my internet works for like 2 secs then quits while my xbox remains connected. it's weird. | 04:49 |
| lstarnes | JoAnneThrax: uname -m | 04:49 |
| JoAnneThrax | Okay. It's the 64 | 04:50 |
| JoAnneThrax | Just a minute. I'll download... | 04:50 |

| jorknow | alex___: I'm trying to use Palringo, and it installed fine, but the font interface on it is HORRIBLE. I'm wondering if Ubuntu could be messing with the fonts, or if its Wine it's self | 04:52 |
| donavan_ | iJerk I tried that I have them named 1,2,3,4,5..... and then wind up in the player as 4,3,5,2,1.... its making me crazy cause im trying to listen to audio books and the order is kind of important | 04:52 |
| Dr_willis | trainer: what sort of advice? squid is not too hard to get going. | 04:52 |
| quinton | alex___: Yeah, the ethernet from my pc connects to the back of my pc. I use my windows mobile internet connnection sharing as a usb modem for my internet | 04:53 |
| alex___ | jorknow: http://appdb.winehq.org/ you can look up the program here and find out more about if it works in wine | 04:53 |
| LacobF | How do I fix my software sources, or find the list of default ones. | 04:53 |
| jorknow | it says it works fine. | 04:53 |

| Dr_willis | JoAnneThrax: app to do what? :) | 05:02 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: It's just called Hardware Drivers | 05:02 |
| ARMENIAN | why doesnt ubuntu have audacious version 2.1 in the repo? the version it has is 1.51 | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | the hardware-drver tools' cli command is 'jockey-gtk' | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | i think | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | !find jockey | 05:02 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: did you upgrade your repository with sudo apt-get? | 05:02 |
| ubottu | Found: jockey-common, jockey-gtk, jockey-kde | 05:02 |
| JoAnneThrax | ARMENIAN: same reason it doesn't have Firefoxz\ 3.5 | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | and ive NO idea why its called that. | 05:02 |
| jedi06 | how do i see all the wireless routers and their channels they broadcast on? | 05:02 |
| ARMENIAN | JoAnneThrax: and what reason is that? :) | 05:03 |
| jimk | JoAnneThrax: jockey-gtk is what you are looking for | 05:03 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: sudo apt-get update? yeah | 05:03 |
| JoAnneThrax | Okay...it's downloading and installing already. It prompted me right away. | 05:03 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: yeah you might have to add auacious's repository if they have one. Speaking of old old-dated stuff in there, they have a really old version of wine too(wasn't aware until I found out today). Do you know anywhere to report outdated software in the repository? | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | JoAnneThrax: its magical! :) | 05:04 |
| JoAnneThrax | Well, it SAYS it's downloading and installing. Still at 0%, however | 05:04 |
| mazda01_ | trying to connect to user level security smb share where the password has a ! and a @ in it. how would I do this from mac os x? i have tried surrounding the password both single quotes and double quotes and neither have worked. I have to enter something like this: smb://user:password@host/share but I can't figure out how to enter the password. | 05:04 |
| jedi06 | how do i see what channel all the wireless routers i'm picking up are broadcasting on? | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | quinton: ubuntu dosent consider that a bug. it updates everything eveyr 6mo (approxamatly) | 05:05 |
| Dr_willis | quinton: if you want the latest wine - use the winehq repos. | 05:05 |
| Madpilot | quinton, you could file a bug, but version updates are only done per release - every six months | 05:05 |
| JoAnneThrax | When (if) it downloads and installs, will I still have to do some manual configuring? | 05:05 |
| quinton | madpilot: oh wow D: | 05:05 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: nah no clue hwere to report :( odd that ubuntu is the most popular rep yet so many things are outdated and yes i did know about wine being outdated, anyway I'm probably just gonna get the package from getdeb.net | 05:05 |
| Dr_willis | quinton: also ive heard some games dont work as well with version .25 of wine.. they work better with the .24 version (no idea why, just learned it from reading some forums) | 05:05 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: It should get you CCC with it, reboot... if your still having troubles try the settings in CCC | 05:05 |
| JoAnneThrax | It's still at 0%...that can't possibly be good... | 05:06 |
| mazda01_ | Madpilot: however. some people who are ambitous create PPA's and update a package version but you can start breaking stuff on accident if you use PPA's that have uipdated versions. sometimes that is. | 05:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: Just run "CCC" at a commandline? | 05:06 |
| juanbond | hey guys, is there a way to automatically start remote desktop when the machine boots? the only reason why i ask is if i reboot my machine, i need to login first, then remote desktop starts to listen. i was wondering if there's a way for it to listen before a user logs in? | 05:06 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: It's amdcccle | 05:06 |
| Madpilot | mazda01, true. I use PPAs for a couple of apps, myself | 05:06 |
| quinton | Dr_willis: Yeah I got the latest today. This isn't my gaming rig, got a quadcore with a 9800gtx+ running windows for that :P. Do you have any clue on getting photoshop running perhaps? I have CS4 and crashes at splash screen. | 05:06 |
| juanbond | or is there another solution to remotely manage my machine, besides ssh. | 05:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: And that's a video configuration app? | 05:06 |
| SnakDoc | whats best way to image your system for quick recovery ? | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | juanbond: if you dont want to share the current visiable desktop. you can just use 'vnc4server' or 'tightvnc' and have a remote desktop running.. thats NOT displayed locally. | 05:07 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Yeah. But you might not have any problems at all after reboot | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | juanbond: or set up gdm to autologin :) | 05:07 |
| JoAnneThrax | Will that let me do things like set it up for dual monitor and the various resolutions and all that... | 05:07 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: yeah same. I used OpenSuse 10.2 for about a month then went back to windows and just came back. YasT always seemed updated though. Apparently they only update them every six months. | 05:07 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Yup. all that | 05:07 |
| JoAnneThrax | Oh, good...it started downloading. | 05:07 |
| mazda01_ | Madpilot: yeah. I have used it for pulseaudio, docky, and some others. haven't had any troubles as of yet. do you know how to connect to a smb password share where the password has punctuation in it? | 05:07 |
| JoAnneThrax | I'm going to reboot. BRB | 05:07 |
| juanbond | Dr_willis, is that something like how Terminal Services work for Windows? | 05:07 |
| Madpilot | mazda01, no idea, never used smb | 05:07 |
| jedi06 | how do i see what channel all the wireless routers i'm picking up are broadcasting on? so i can set mine to a different channel | 05:08 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: hmm, yeah I might even give archlinux a try too, ubuntu has been good for me as a beginner, but this whole everything being outdated is not too good | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | juanbond: no idea. i dont use that for windows.. I just have used vnc a LOT over the last few years... its a very flexiable tool. and shareing the 'currently displayed desktop' is just ONE way of using it to get a 'remote' desktop. and my least favorite way to use it. | 05:08 |
| mazda01_ | jedi06: what is your wireless interface? ath0, wifi0 or what. i can tell you a command to run which should show you the channel each router is on | 05:08 |
| jedi06 | yes please | 05:09 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: Have you used Opensuse? It has a really good setup for KDE, if you haven't tried it yet. I'm on Kubuntu, not Ubuntu as I can't stand GNOME :p. Honestly, if I need something bad enough like an app i'll go to their website and make sure its the latest version, but i wish they upgraded it on the fly. | 05:09 |
| Dr_willis | juanbond: you can install vnc4server. edit the .vnc/xstartup and then 'ssh' into the server. start 'vncserver' then connect via a vnc client. No need for a local running gnome session at all. :) and the desktop will be persistant. You can close the vnc viewer and reconnect at a later time.. or from a differnt box. | 05:09 |
| mazda01_ | Dr_willis: i use x11vnc to log into my already logged in sesison. I love it. I ssh in first, then create a tunnel for x11vnc. it's great. | 05:10 |
| bullgard4 | What does the letter 'f' stand for in the command 'fuser'? Is it 'file'? | 05:10 |
| jedi06 | mazda01, it is either eth0 or eth1 | 05:10 |
| jedi06 | probably eth1 | 05:10 |
| rojas | sorry disk manager is in repositori? | 05:10 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: yeah I've given opensuse a try, I'm the complete opposite of you when it comes to guis, I can't stand KDE :P part of the reason i couldnt deal with openSUSE :P | 05:10 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___, et. al.: thank you very much! | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | mazda01_: thats just one way to use vnc... i never use x11vnc i find it slower.. but im on a local lan. so i never need to tunnle either. | 05:10 |
| JoAnneThrax | It seems to be working fine. | 05:10 |
| mazda01_ | jedi06: that can't be your wireless connection, at least I don't think it can. eth0 and eth1 are normally your ethernet card, not your wireless card. what does lspci -v return>? | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | mazda01_: if on a local lan. you can also use 'xming' on windows to export the X desktop/apps to appear on your windows machines. :) | 05:11 |
| mazda01_ | Dr_willis: what vnc server is faster and that allows you to see the current users session? | 05:11 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: :O! KDE is so amazing =[. KDE4 is really intuitive and fun to use :p | 05:11 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ man umountfs; No manual entry for umountfs.' Why is there no manual page for umountfs? | 05:11 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Sorry I led you in circles trying to make sure you got the newest driver =P | 05:11 |
| novalys | blist | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | mazda01_: i fimd shareing the current session slows them all down.. the only 2 that i see that can do that are x11vnc and the built in gnome one.. there may be others.. I rarely use it that way | 05:12 |
| mazda01_ | bullgard4: can;t you just check the man page for umount? | 05:12 |
| alex___ | quinton: Have you tried LinuxMINT? | 05:12 |
| apoleo12 | Why does in bash have different keymappings than in X? | 05:12 |
| jedi06 | mazda01, it is eth1 | 05:12 |
| juiceejuice | is anyone running 2.6.31 with iwlagn driver on karmic or otherwise? | 05:12 |
| jedi06 | 802.11 WiFi (eth1) | 05:12 |
| mazda01_ | Dr_willis: oh, i see. | 05:12 |
| quinton | alex___: Nah. I saw it mentioned once, no clue what it is. | 05:12 |
| alex___ | quinton: Supposedly they are supposed to have more updates than any other distro | 05:12 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: I've actually installed KDE over gnome on my ubuntu install to give it a try, and it's more resource intensive and it actually crashed my video card or something whenever i would minimize and maxamize things really fast or do somehting only slightly graphics card intensive, with gnome i dont have that problem | 05:13 |
| novalys | Hello, I got a silly question... Where can I change the number of virtual desktops on the new Ubuntu 9.04? I'm not able to find this... | 05:13 |
| mazda01_ | jedi06: then run this: iwconfig -i eth1 scanning. I think that's the command | 05:13 |
| jedi06 | just tell me how to discover what each wireless router chanell is | 05:13 |
| bullgard4 | mazda01_: I did not say that I cannot. But this does not answer my question. | 05:13 |
| ARMENIAN | alex___: ive tried linuxmint, didn't like it too much | 05:13 |
| alex___ | novalys: One option is to right click on your virtual desktops on your menu bar and select preferences | 05:13 |
| alex___ | AREMENIAN: I never actually installed it, just put it on my usb key once lol | 05:14 |
| quinton | alex___: Meh. I like Kubuntu a lot, and the outdated repositories don't bother me too much. Although I was bit upset when I couldn't get WINE working with Digsby and turns out I didn't have the right WINE version :p | 05:14 |
| JoAnneThrax | okay...here's something... | 05:14 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: I'm assuming your PC is lackluster then haha | 05:14 |
| JoAnneThrax | The external monitor is, theoretically, 1920x1080... | 05:14 |
| alex___ | quinton: I gotta agree with ARMENIAN... I'm a gnome fan =D and my comp has great hardware, so that isn't the prob =P | 05:14 |
| mazda01_ | what does my id_rsa key have to have for owner:group and permissions. I can't seem to get it to work on my mac even though the same key works for my other linux and windows machines. | 05:14 |
| novalys | alex___: I tried that, It only gives my a Columns and rows option, even when I change the number they are still only 2.. :( | 05:14 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: nah, it's not too shabby built it 3.5 years ago ati 3200, 1 gig ram, x800gt, 1tb HD, 320 GB HD | 05:15 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: I've always come from windows, and I would consider KDE as an Aeroish interface, way more stylish and looks fantastic but is more resource intensive, but GNOME is like the old windows 98, ugly but quick | 05:15 |
| alex___ | novalys: There isn't a number of Workspaces option on yours?? | 05:15 |
| Bossman | hello all can i get some help plz | 05:15 |
| JoAnneThrax | ...but in amdcccle, it only lets me choose a 1366x786 desktop size... | 05:15 |
| mazda01_ | bullgard4: i don't know what umountfs is for anyway. sorry | 05:15 |
| mazda01_ | Bossman: just ask your question. | 05:15 |
| SnakDoc | whats best way to image your system for quick recovery ? | 05:15 |
| novalys | alex___: nop.. I google this before comming here all info. point that same direction but mine isn't showing that. | 05:15 |
| bullgard4 | mazda01_: Ok. | 05:15 |
| jedi06 | mazda01, nope unknown command eth1 | 05:16 |
| alex___ | novalys: Now THAT is wierd... | 05:16 |
| quinton | alex___: I just couldn't do it. I mean look at this screenshot of tweaking the plasma for like an hour: http://i25.tinypic.com/2e1hc3q.jpg .. That's just sexy. | 05:16 |
| JoAnneThrax | Do I have to install xinerama separately in order to do the dual-desktop thing? | 05:16 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: i don't think gnome is too ugly :P just simpler | 05:16 |
| novalys | alex___: It's a 64bit fresh installation | 05:16 |
| mazda01_ | SnakDoc: in ubuntu, I use sbackup. it's got a gui, easy to use and I have done a restore from it before. or you could just tarball everything up also. there are so many guides, just gogle backup ubuntu and you'll find tons. | 05:16 |
| alex___ | quinton: Is that AWM? | 05:16 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: KDE seems like an easier switch for someone who likes the Windows look | 05:16 |
| Bossman | okay and am trying to change the owner on a folder and the files in the folder and i did chown but it only changed the main folder | 05:17 |
| quinton | alex___: AWM? | 05:17 |
| Manneequin | Hi anyone knows how to install ubuntu on mac ? | 05:17 |
| === dreamy_ is now known as dreamy | ||
| ARMENIAN | quinton: all the icons and everything were really big, taking up more screen space it seems :P | 05:17 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: I come from Windows :p. Namely, Windows 7. I'm used to it looking good. | 05:17 |
| blognewb | hey guys | 05:17 |
| jedi06 | i get a Link Quality:2 Signal level:177 Noise level:176 | 05:17 |
| mazda01_ | JoAnneThrax: are yo running the proprietary nvidia driver or do you have another video card? because I have found nvidia-settings sets up dual screen or twinview super easily. | 05:17 |
| jedi06 | that bad? | 05:17 |
| mazda01_ | jedi06: so it doesn | 05:17 |
| SnakDoc | mazda01_ i know they on google but was wanting to find someone that has used a certain app i just don't want to have to download everything again lol | 05:17 |
| mazda01_ | 't show the channel? | 05:17 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: My panel at the bottom I made big as a dock of sorts, it had the default kde tiny panel at the bottom | 05:17 |
| JoAnneThrax | mazda01: proprietary AMD/ATI | 05:18 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: yeah i actually was using Windows 7 shortly before switching to ubuntu, WIndows 7 isn't too shabby itself | 05:18 |
| alex___ | quinton: Isn't that panel at the bottom AWN? | 05:18 |
| alex___ | quinton: Isn't that panel at the bottom AWM? | 05:18 |
| mazda01_ | SnakDoc: i said I use sbackup. very easy app to use. | 05:18 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: different tastes, different tastes | 05:18 |
| quinton | alex___: It's just a regular Panel thru KDE, you can tweak the height and width and whatnot on the fly | 05:18 |
| alex___ | quinton: There is a program called AWM you can use in gnome that looks exactly like that | 05:18 |
| mazda01_ | can anyone please tell me what the owner:group and permissions are suppose to be for a private key? | 05:18 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: u can do it in gnome also :) | 05:18 |
| legend2440 | Bossman: chown -r will change owner of folder and any files inside | 05:19 |
| Bossman | ty legend2440 | 05:19 |
| JoAnneThrax | and is it limiting me to 1366x768 on the external only because I'm currently mirroring the laptop's native display (which is only that size)? | 05:19 |
| ARMENIAN | gnome has more users overall I beleive, correct? | 05:19 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: Yeah MS definitely got W7 right, but it can't hold a candle to Kubuntu from what I've seen. The only thing keeping me from using Kubuntu full time is Photoshop(I'm a web designer D:) and this network bridge | 05:19 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: You have to make them seperate desktops to make them seperate resolutions =(* | 05:19 |
| mazda01_ | ARMENIAN: i would say gnome has more users, that's my opinion. | 05:19 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex: ah. Got it. | 05:19 |
| quinton | alex___: I like all my animations like the cover flow alt-tab, the desktop cube, the wobbly desktop. I'm a flashy guy :P | 05:19 |
| SnakDoc | mazda01_ thanks :) | 05:19 |
| alex___ | quinton: Compiz + AWM + Emerald FTW | 05:19 |
| blognewb | hey guys what do these lines do::-> touch /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh | 05:20 |
| blognewb | apt-get update | 05:20 |
| blognewb | apt-get -u upgrade | 05:20 |
| ubuntu | oops wrong channel :P | 05:20 |
| blognewb | ?? | 05:20 |
| alex___ | quinton: You can do all that in Gnome | 05:20 |
| ubuntu | btw im racecar56 | 05:20 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: if I'm gonna get windows 7 I'm gonna bootleg it :P , for that reason I'm using Ubuntu | 05:20 |
| alex___ | quinton: That is Compiz | 05:20 |
| blognewb | exactly what does it try to upgrade? | 05:20 |
| quinton | alex___: Tbh, KDE is built in :p | 05:20 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: I'm currently VGAed to the external; I'm getting an HDMI cable in a few days. Should the ATI/ubuntu be able to figure out what's going on without me having to do much of anyt'ing? | 05:20 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: either wine or dualboot | 05:20 |
| iceroot | quinton: you can run photoshop with linux (wine) | 05:20 |
| dpreacher | does dmesg output get reset on every boot or is there something left from previous bootups? | 05:20 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Theoretically. I've never actually tried it, but it should =P | 05:20 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: You know the release candidate is a legit release and is legal to use until march 2010 right? | 05:20 |
| alex___ | quinton: All you have to install in gnome is the settings manager | 05:21 |
| mazda01_ | blognewb: touch simply creates a blank file, apt-get update will update apt-get with all the packages in the repositories that you ahve defined and I am not sure what the apt-get -u aptitude does. perform man apt-get and see for yourself. | 05:21 |
| quinton | iceroot: Can't get CS4 to boot right. Crashes on splash screen | 05:21 |
| quinton | alex___: Amarok. xD | 05:21 |
| alex___ | quinton: huh? | 05:21 |
| mazda01_ | dpreacher: i think dmesg is redone after every boot but I am not sure. | 05:21 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: u get more of the flashy stuff in gnome with compiz and it uses less resources :P plus more advanced | 05:21 |
| iceroot | quinton: using wine 1.x? beacuse of the possibility to run photoshop, wine was using a new version number (1.x instead of 0.x) | 05:21 |
| quinton | alex___: Amarok is KDE only, right? | 05:21 |
| alex___ | quinton: No... | 05:22 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: yeah, but whose gonna deal with all the cd key games they play :P | 05:22 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: w/e :p | 05:22 |
| quinton | iceroot: I think that was CS2 only. I haven't got CS4 running with the latest release. | 05:22 |
| ARMENIAN | quinton: as long as we're on linux :P | 05:22 |
| alex___ | quinton: you can run 99% of KDE apps on gnome and 99% of gnome apps on KDE lol... TBH which manager you use really doesn't matter anymore these days... the only diff is the default settings ;) | 05:22 |
| JoAnneThrax | CCC is telling me that I have only on desktop enabled, and I can't configure xinerama until I've Configured another in the Display Manager... | 05:22 |
| quinton | alex___: Good to know, I wasn't really aware :P | 05:22 |
| JoAnneThrax | Where, prey tell, is the display manager? :) | 05:23 |
| quinton | ARMENIAN: exactly :D | 05:23 |
| iceroot | quinton: if i am correct als photoshop-versions are running but but never tested, because i am not a designer and gimp + inkscape are ok for me | 05:23 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Um... halfway up the screen in CCC =P | 05:23 |
| quinton | iceroot: Ugh. GIMP. I tested PS4 a lot, I've used Winetricks and nothing has worked. | 05:23 |
| dpreacher | mazda01_ i was thinking so too...i see some ipv6 audit messages everytime from named, whereas i have disabled ipv6 lookups on bind. so I'm just checking why the problem persists and how recent was the last entry. coz each time there are like 564 entries. | 05:23 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: Oh...that. I looked at that. I can't tell where to set it to two desktops... | 05:24 |
| iceroot | quinton: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318 running (status gold) | 05:24 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ man umountfs; No manual entry for umountfs.' Why is there no manual page for umountfs? | 05:24 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Click on it, then beside properties, click "Multi-Display" | 05:24 |
| blognewb | Do you guys recommend installing ISPConfig 2 or 3? Is it true that 3 is still unstable? | 05:25 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: Then change that setting to Single(Independent Display) | 05:25 |
| melik | whats a good tool to mass convert images from CLI? | 05:25 |
| iceroot | melik: imagemagik | 05:25 |
| rojas | hi every body | 05:25 |
| mazda01_ | does anyone know how to find out my username in mac os x? it's weird because I changed it from my full name to my first name in the users within preferences but at the command prompt it still says my full name. | 05:25 |
| quinton | iceroot: I read that, I did everything except idk how to gdiplus override | 05:25 |
| bullgard4 | What does the letter 'f' stand for in the command 'fuser'? Is it 'file'? | 05:25 |
| rojas | i install disk-manager | 05:26 |
| iceroot | melik: imagemagick | 05:26 |
| JoAnneThrax | alex___: It's not giving me that option... | 05:26 |
| rojas | and when i click it it says There are no filesystems which you are allowed to mount or unmount. | 05:26 |
| rojas | Contact your administrator. | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | fuse - file system in user space ? or is that just a similer named thing? | 05:26 |
| alex___ | JoAnneThrax: o.O? | 05:26 |
| rojas | what can i do? | 05:26 |
| tkmr | JoAnneThrax: You have the latest version of CCC right? | 05:26 |
| rojas | how can i use it | 05:26 |
| rojas | please | 05:27 |
| quinton | iceroot: Ah okay I found it: winetricks -q gdiplus . DO i just put that in konsole? | 05:27 |
| rojas | hi | 05:27 |
| JoAnneThrax | There's a "display configuration" box under "Multi-Display", but it just says "unknown" | 05:27 |
| alex___ | Anyone have any ideas why when I try to change my password it just keeps having the loading mouse icon and never changes? | 05:27 |
| JoAnneThrax | tkmr: I ought to. The computer is less than a week old. | 05:27 |
| iceroot | quinton: sorry dont know, wine was working fine for my needs so i never used winetricks | 05:27 |
| Jeruvy | rojas: sorry, do not use 'enter' key for punctuation. What is the problem? One line please. | 05:27 |
| quinton | iceroot: I think I figured it out. Thanks. | 05:27 |
| jedi06 | iwlist eth1 scan says inteface doesn't support scanning | 05:28 |
| wizzo50 | rojas: install gparted | 05:28 |
| alex___ | quinton: Winetricks? | 05:28 |
| ARMENIAN | wow i had to manually install like 7 dependencies just to install audacious | 05:28 |
| alex___ | Is there a max password size in ubuntu or something? | 05:28 |
| quinton | alex__:Hm? | 05:28 |
| alex___ | quinton: What's winetricks? | 05:28 |
| blognewb | Do you guys recommend installing ISPConfig 2 or 3? Is it true that 3 is still unstable? | 05:28 |
| jedi06 | iwconfig says eth1 is IEEE 802.11 that is the only one with wireless extensions | 05:28 |
| blognewb | oops | 05:28 |
| bullgard4 | System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes shows a column 'Waiting Channel'. What is a 'waiting channel'? | 05:28 |
| tkmr | alex___: Not AFAIK. How long is your PW? | 05:29 |
| rojas | ok i want to put the windows paricion on my desktop on xubuntu | 05:29 |
| quinton | quinton: Winetricks is like an addon for wine that will allow you to download things that windows applications need with just a few commands | 05:29 |
| alex___ | tkmr: The one I'm trying to change it to is... 18 characters long | 05:29 |
| quinton | alex___: Winetricks is like an addon for wine that will allow you to download things that windows applications need with just a few commands | 05:29 |
| alex___ | quinton: I see... | 05:29 |
| rojas | but, let me try with gparted | 05:29 |
| rojas | thanks wizzo58 | 05:29 |
| quinton | alex___: For example "sh winetricks dotnet20" would fetch and install MS .NET Framework 2.0 | 05:29 |
| quinton | alex___: or "sh winetricks ie6" for IE6 | 05:30 |
| alex___ | quinton: Nice! | 05:30 |
| tkmr | alex___: If there is a max character limit you haven't hit it. My pass is 20 characters. =) | 05:30 |
| wizzo50 | rojas: sure | 05:30 |
| mazda01_ | jedi06: if it doesn't support scanning than you wireless card doesn't support in my experience. you typed in sudo iwlist eth1 scan? | 05:30 |
| rojas | and thanks jeruvy | 05:30 |
| JoAnneThrax | Okay... | 05:30 |
| alex___ | tkmr: IDK it won't change it to that, so I wondered if there was a max of like 15 or something | 05:30 |
| mazda01_ | jedi06: i mean. sudo iwlist eth1 scanning? | 05:30 |
| JoAnneThrax | I don't know what I did, but now the Display Manager has a rectangle with "2:1" in it in the big blank space above everything else... | 05:30 |
| tkmr | alex___: If there is a max character limit it's higher than 20 characters. | 05:31 |
| darlykaiser | hey guys | 05:31 |
| mazda01_ | darlykaiser: high. | 05:31 |
| alex___ | tkmr: Then any ideas why I can't change my pass? =D lol | 05:31 |
| tkmr | alex___: Maybe a file is corrupted or something of the like? | 05:31 |
| darlykaiser | i need a good page that explains me well about how to erase ubuntu 9.04 to install ubuntu 8.10 | 05:32 |
| JoAnneThrax | Oooh. I made CCC segfault | 05:32 |
| iceroot | alex___: what is passwd ginving as error? | 05:32 |
| mazda01_ | anyone know how to connect to a smb share that has a password with punctuation in it? it's something like smb://user:password@host/share but my password has an @ as well as a ! so it's not working. pleas ehelp | 05:32 |
| jedi06 | yup just figured out need sudo | 05:32 |
| alex___ | iceroot: It isn't... it's just sitting there and the mouse has the loading icon on | 05:32 |
| iceroot | darlykaiser: just install 8.10 and use the partition from 9.04 | 05:32 |
| iceroot | alex___: passwd has no gui and so no mouse icon | 05:32 |
| iceroot | alex___: just type passwd in the shell | 05:33 |
| jedi06 | Quality:2/5 Signal level:-78 dBm Noise level:-30 dBm | 05:33 |
| alex___ | iceroot: I was using the gui lol | 05:33 |
| rojas | sorry but i can use gparted in xubuntu? isnt it just for gnome desktop? | 05:33 |
| SnakDoc | mazda01_ try "" around it be only guess i have | 05:33 |
| mazda01_ | darlykaiser: just pop in 8.10 and install it over 9.04. it's simple. especially if you don't need to save anything from 9.04 install. just overwrite it. | 05:33 |
| iceroot | rojas: yes, you can | 05:33 |
| darlykaiser | I did but i want to rid ubuntu 9.04 out my laptop | 05:33 |
| rojas | thanks. :) | 05:33 |
| mazda01_ | rojas: you can install gnome or kde apps in xubuntu and about 99% of the time they work because they install the gtk or kde libs with the apps. | 05:33 |
| mazda01_ | darlykaiser: if you installed 8.10 OVER 9.04 then 9.04 isn't on your system anymore. | 05:34 |
| apoleo12 | Why is my question being ignored? | 05:34 |
| alex___ | iceroot: Ok... if I do it in there it says my new pass must be diff than my old one?? | 05:34 |
| iceroot | rojas: you can use every-app (kde, gnome, xfce4) with every desktop (kde, gnome, xfce4) just have to install some specific libs sometims (apt-get will do that for you) | 05:34 |
| darlykaiser | how i can do this? | 05:34 |
| mazda01_ | rojas: you could also boot up gparted live cd, and run it that way. | 05:34 |
| Jeruvy | !repeat | apoleo12 | 05:34 |
| wizzo50 | rojas: then you will have to setup Virtual Box and reset iup your WIndows on there. That is what I was showed last week when I did it after setting a partion up on gparted in the Terminal | 05:34 |
| ubottu | apoleo12: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 05:34 |
| chenmin | hen | 05:34 |
| iceroot | alex___: of course it must be different. passwd, then type your old one and two times the new one | 05:34 |
| chenmin | 有人马 | 05:34 |
| alex___ | iceroot: I did | 05:35 |
| apoleo12 | ubottu: ok ill repeat it then | 05:35 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:35 |
| mazda01_ | iceroot: i find aptitude to better at installed dependencies than apt-get. i have been aptitude for a long time versus apt=get | 05:35 |
| alex___ | iceroot: and they are different... but apparently it thinks they aren't | 05:35 |
| apoleo12 | Why are the characters are different in bash than in Xwindows bash? | 05:35 |
| dpreacher | mazda01_ got timestamps from /var/log/messages | 05:35 |
| lstarnes | apoleo12: what do you mean by that? | 05:35 |
| mazda01_ | dpreacher: what about time stamps? | 05:35 |
| iceroot | mazda01_: apt-get moo vs aptitude moo -v you will see what is better (aso try -vv -vv and so on) :) | 05:36 |
| dpreacher | timestamp syslog adds at the instant the entry is logged | 05:36 |
| iceroot | mazda01_: -vv -vvv -vvvv and so on i mean | 05:36 |
| mazda01_ | apoleo12: what do you mean different characters, can you upload an image to imageshack and share with us> | 05:36 |
| dpreacher | mazda01_ timestamp syslog adds at the instant the entry is logged | 05:36 |
| apoleo12 | When Im in xterm (bash) and type some command containing these characters as [] {} \ etc etc... but when I go into bash pressing ctrl+alt f2 then those chars are all over the place | 05:36 |
| dpreacher | thanks mazda01_ for your time | 05:37 |
| darlykaiser | mazda_01: how can i install ubuntu 8.10 over 9.04? | 05:37 |
| mazda01_ | no one uses smb:// to connect to a password protected share that has punctuation in it? | 05:37 |
| apoleo12 | mazda01: ok IIll do that way... but it going to take a bit... brb then | 05:37 |
| iceroot | darlykaiser: as i told you, insert the 8.10 cd and choose the partition from 9.04 to install on | 05:37 |
| rojas | ok now i install gparted | 05:37 |
| iceroot | darlykaiser: it will override 9.04 | 05:38 |
| mazda01_ | darlykaiser: just pop in the 8.10 install cd, and go through the install process and just chose to use the hard drive you want by deleting the old partitions and creating new ones. simple. | 05:38 |
| rojas | and it says that i have to be root | 05:38 |
| JoAnneThrax | CCC doesn't seem to be giving me any option to set up more than one desktop... | 05:38 |
| iceroot | rojas: gksudo gparted | 05:38 |
| wizzo50 | sebsebseb: Hi, you anywhere around? | 05:38 |

| zopiac | swfplayer gives me a segmentation fault, does anyone know how to fix>? | 05:39 |
| mechtech | is there any way to launch a windows executable? | 05:39 |
| [R] | zopiac: file a bug report | 05:39 |
| iceroot | !wine | mechtech | 05:39 |
| ubottu | mechtech: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 05:39 |
| [R] | mechtech: you can use wine | 05:39 |
| NickDeNeger | mechtech: use wine | 05:39 |
| darlykaiser | even if it is a guided one? | 05:39 |
| mazda01_ | zopiac: have you run it from the temrinal and looked at the output to see where it's segfaulting? | 05:40 |
| jerc | some one helpme with mysql | 05:41 |
| iceroot | jerc: #mysql | 05:41 |
| mazda01_ | darlykaiser: i don't remember the options but just tell it you want to use the existing hard drive that 9.04 is installed on and it should wipe out the old partitions and create new ones. | 05:41 |
| iceroot | jerc: or is it a ubuntu-question like installing mysql? | 05:41 |
| mazda01_ | darlykaiser: i think guided will do a dual boot setup because it doesn't think it should delete the other ubuntu install. | 05:41 |
| pete_ | hello all | 05:41 |
| mechtech | thanks iceroot and nickdeneger | 05:41 |

| mazda01_ | JoAnneThrax: i asked what video card you're running. | 05:44 |
| lstarnes | jerc: also, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup | 05:44 |
| mazda01_ | stea: did you install the module for your wireless card properly? | 05:45 |
| NickDeNeger | somehow courier doesn't have a listening port, authdeamon is running though | 05:45 |

| darlykaiser | mazda_01: so there is another way to do this? | 05:46 |
| mechtech | can't it tells me there are stopped jobs | 05:46 |
| iceroot | mechtech: stopped = stopped, maybe you mean paused job? | 05:46 |
| [R] | mechtech: so type it again | 05:46 |
| mazda01_ | stea: have you tried to bring up the wireless interface? i don't think iwconfig will show you any interfaces of wireless unless they are in use. I just tried iwconfig on my mac and despite me having a airport card, it returned no wireless extensions. | 05:46 |
| stea | and mazda01 : those are two commands i just found from google but they didnt help | 05:46 |
| mazda01_ | stea: because I am using ethernet at the moment. | 05:46 |

| mazda01__ | stea: have you gone in to system, admin, networking to activate your wireless card? what does lspci -v return for wireless cards? | 05:49 |
| neozonz | I jsut installed sshguard | 05:49 |
| neozonz | and i can't see it as being installed other then in the package manager... | 05:49 |
| mazda01__ | neozonz: sometimes apps don't put themselves into the menu. you run it from the terminal or add it to the menu, if you;re running gnome then go to system, prefs, main menu. what does sshguard do anyway? | 05:50 |
| JoAnneThrax | mazda01: these other folks were just kind enough to walk me through installing the (with jockey-gtk)...but even in amdcccle, I can't figure out how to configure the dual display. | 05:50 |
| neozonz | mazda01: it helps against brute force attacks | 05:50 |
| JoAnneThrax | the proprietary driver | 05:51 |
| neozonz | mazda01: but the funny thing is I can't see it in terminal anywhere, i even tried locate sshguard | 05:51 |
| stea | mazda01 : all i see from network settings in that path are just wired connection and point to point connection (both are faded out) and lspci : shows an atheros communications INC AR5416 802.11abgn wireless pci adapter | 05:51 |
| zopiac | mazda01_: sorry, had to go AFK for a bit; yeah i have X running | 05:51 |
| mazda01__ | neozonz: i use denyhosts for that. it adds offending ip addresses to my hosts.deny file and they;ll never get in. it gets the offending ips from auth.log. try that. it's very easy to use and install. | 05:51 |
| k3Rn | hi | 05:51 |
| k3Rn | i just updated virt-manager to version 0.7.0. - i also installed virtinst 0.400.3 (think this is required for the new version). | 05:51 |
| k3Rn | i can start virt-manager, it seems to be working but when i try to create a new virtual machine i can't go further then step 1 - the forward button is greyed out... | 05:51 |
| k3Rn | can someone help me with this? is it not properly installed/updated? | 05:51 |
| FloodBot3 | k3Rn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:51 |
| neozonz | mazda01: thanks :) | 05:52 |
| k3Rn | oh sorry - did you guys got my last three line? | 05:52 |
| mazda01__ | neozonz: np. the default config works out of the box I am pretty sure, you can change the values to make it more strict if you want. like you can make it so after 2 failed attempts it will add the offending ip to the hosts.deny file. just check out /etc/denyhosts.conf. i think that's what the file is named. | 05:53 |
| majnoon | is there a way with apt-get you can just upgrade files (foe EXAMPLE update eg kernel 1.2 to 2.6 AND mc .1 to mc1 ) at SAME time after it checks for updates | 05:53 |

| mazda01__ | Fruktsoda: you don't really uninstall it. you can delete the partitions that hold it. what OS do you want to use in it;s place? | 06:06 |
| phreak_ | iFuzo, songbird is not an actual program you 'install' | 06:06 |
| ibuclaw | Fruktsoda, boot up into your Ubuntu LiveCD, Go to 'System->Preferences->Partition Manager' and delete the Ubuntu Partition, and resize the NTFS to fill out the whole drive (or create a new partition in it's place) and Click 'Apply' to action it. | 06:06 |

| ibuclaw | Fruktsoda, actually ... then boot into the Windows Installer CD and you should see a 'Recovery Mode' | 06:07 |

| phreak_ | Do they have a .deb for songbird now? | 06:08 |

| DVA5912 | bodhizazen: well its already part of www-data. and its not getting sudo | 06:15 |

| DellaDuck | Ghoti__: You seemed like a nice person, can you please stop DVA5912 to spam and threaten me in PM. Or just give me direction how to abuse him? :/ | 06:19 |
| stea | mazda01 : i tried nothing came up, will updating to 8.10 help? | 06:19 |
| mazda01__ | stea: not neccesarily. now enter lsmod | grep ath_pci | 06:19 |
| DellaDuck | I just want to idle, hang out and chat about the best OS in wide world :-) | 06:19 |
| Ghoti__ | DellaDuck: type /ignore DVA5912 if you want no longer to hear from them. | 06:19 |
| DellaDuck | Thanks alot Ghoti__! | 06:19 |
| DVA5912 | i already did that to ghoti | 06:19 |
| DVA5912 | sorry to him | 06:20 |
| The_Warlock | can anybody help me to fix the problem to access ubuntu forums from firefox | 06:20 |
| Ghoti__ | And thus, peace was restored. :) | 06:20 |
| DVA5912 | il kill him | 06:20 |
| Ghoti__ | The_Warlock: what is the problem you are having? | 06:20 |
| lstarnes | Ghoti__: the syntax for /ignore is client-dependent. Some clients require additional arcuments | 06:20 |
| DellaDuck | Please stop it DVA5912: " [07:19:52] - <DVA5912> you ass is mine" | 06:20 |
| DellaDuck | Please stop it DVA5912: " [07:19:52] - <DVA5912> i will kill you irl" | 06:20 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: that statement is not weocome here | 06:20 |
| vise | The_Warlock, Whats the problem? | 06:20 |
| stea | mazda01, that didnt work before... | 06:20 |
| lstarnes | DellaDuck: you don't need to paste those messages here | 06:21 |
| * DVA5912 takes a cool down | 06:21 | |
| vise | Whats an irl | 06:21 |
| DellaDuck | Okej, i'm sorry lstarnes. :-/ | 06:21 |
| lstarnes | DellaDuck: which client do you use? I might be able to help you put a working ignore on DellaDuck | 06:21 |
| lstarnes | er, DVA5912 | 06:21 |
| DVA5912 | DELLADUCK STOP! | 06:21 |
| lstarnes | vise: "in real life" | 06:21 |
| DVA5912 | i already ignored him | 06:21 |

| lstarnes | DVA5912: all messages? | 06:22 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: which client do you use? | 06:22 |

| === cah_batang is now known as ayu_imut | ||

| The_Warlock | Ghoti__: I am not able to acces ubuntu forums | 06:22 |
| The_Warlock | vise: ^^ | 06:22 |
| DellaDuck | Now, the ignore seems to work out, thanks guys! :) | 06:23 |
| Ghoti__ | The_Warlock: what happens when you try? | 06:23 |
| The_Warlock | its timing out | 06:23 |
| sebsebseb | DBO: two people arguing and things going rather off topic in here as a result | 06:23 |
| DVA5912 | (1:22:44 AM) DellaDuck: Received CTCP 'PING 1248330138' (to DVA5912) from DellaDuck | 06:23 |
| iFuzo | The_Warlock: Why ? | 06:23 |
| Andorin | How about both of you just shut up and leave each other alone, so the rest of us can enjoy our Internets in peace? | 06:23 |
| DVA5912 | there are about 50 of those | 06:23 |
| DVA5912 | and abot 20 fingers | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | maxxist: probably linux-headers | 06:23 |
| === cah_batang is now known as ayu_imut | ||
| lstarnes | DVA5912: /quote mode DVA5912 +C | 06:23 |
| Jeruvy | The_Warlock: timeout, sounds like a connnection problem. Can you tell us how your connecting? | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: that should block CTCPs if it works correctly | 06:23 |
| The_Warlock | page doesnt open...after some time i get a network time out | 06:23 |
| mazda01__ | stea: so you ran the modprobe ath_pci and it returned nothing? then you ran lsmod | grep ath_pci and that didn't return anything either? what about this command: lshw -C network | 06:23 |
| DBO | hes gone now DVA5912, lets get back on track now =) | 06:23 |
| zahid | howto mount local folder on local system in ubuntu | 06:23 |
| The_Warlock | but when i access the same page from my mac using firefox i can access | 06:24 |
| The_Warlock | noly the ubuntu box creates the problem | 06:24 |
| DVA5912 | they stoped | 06:24 |
| maxxist | lstarnes, thanks. it was linux-headers-server | 06:24 |
| DVA5912 | that anoying sound is.... Gone! :D | 06:24 |
| mazda01__ | zahid: what do you mean mount local folder? if it's local, it should already be mounted? | 06:24 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: just stop making comments about it | 06:24 |
| The_Warlock | Jeruvy: i use the same office connection for both mac and the ubuntu | 06:25 |
| DVA5912 | yeah. and now to my problem | 06:25 |
| zahid | let suppose i am using nfs server and want to mount nfs shared folder on nfs server | 06:25 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: if you're being annoyed, just ignore it | 06:25 |
| mazda01__ | The_Warlock: do you use smb ever to connect to server in mac os x? | 06:25 |
| Jeruvy | The_Warlock: is the ubuntu on a separate machine? | 06:25 |
| DVA5912 | i ignored him | 06:25 |
| DVA5912 | but they still came through | 06:25 |
| DVA5912 | anyway | 06:25 |
| The_Warlock | Jeruvy: yes ubuntu a separate box | 06:25 |
| stea | mazda01 : network unclaimed. and then the atheros information | 06:25 |
| DVA5912 | The user webmaster is a member of group www-data but im still not able to make write commands via ftp in the /var/www | 06:25 |
| The_Warlock | mazda01 yes | 06:25 |
| duckwars_ | I tried to make a .htaccess file and it doesn't seem to be working and now I can't read it, and also I can't rm it... any ideas? | 06:25 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: pidgin lacks complete irc support | 06:26 |
| rojas | hey jerc are u here yet? | 06:26 |
| The_Warlock | mazda01__: sorry no | 06:26 |
| DVA5912 | im used to pidgin so... Ive used it for two years now | 06:26 |
| Jeruvy | The_Warlock: can you pastebin your 'ifconfig' output ? | 06:26 |
| rojas | im wating your answer | 06:26 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: I'd recommend a more secure protocol than ftp, such as sftp or ssh | 06:26 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: what are the permissions on /var/www? | 06:26 |
| stea | mazda01, i didnt know it was going to be this confusing... i just found out how to upgrade to 8.10 and am starting that right now. | 06:27 |
| mazda01__ | stea: what does ifconfig return? | 06:27 |
| DVA5912 | lstarnes: ssh? i can copy files over via ssh? | 06:27 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: scp and sftp are both tools used for copying files via ssh | 06:27 |
| J_Dahmer | Howdy | 06:27 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: there's also rsync | 06:27 |
| mazda01__ | stea: ok but if you're going to upgrade, just go all the way to jaunty while you're at it as they fixed many issues with pulseaudio and I am sure the wireless support only gets better. | 06:27 |
| The_Warlock | Jeruvy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/225996/ | 06:27 |
| zahid | mazda01: i using nfs server and want to mount nfs shared folder on nfs server | 06:28 |
| stea | well i have an intel graphics card and lots of people are having problems with jaunty mazda01 | 06:28 |
| Jeruvy | The_Warlock: ok you have no ipv4 address assigned thats the issue | 06:28 |
| mazda01__ | zahid: ah, that's not a local folder then. have you followed a guide on using NFS? | 06:28 |
| stea | i just searched the forum trying to find an answer on this... | 06:28 |
| zahid | mazda01: i have searched much but all invain | 06:29 |
| rojas | how can i mount windos partition of windos in xubuntu please? | 06:29 |
| mazda01__ | stea: i already gave you the link for using that wifi card and ubuntu. it deals with compiling madwifi drivers from scratch or using ndiswrapper. | 06:29 |
| The_Warlock | Jeruvy: i thought the IP was a IP v4 | 06:29 |
| rojas | windows partition in xubuntu sorry | 06:29 |
| The_Warlock | how do i enable it? | 06:29 |
| mazda01__ | rojas: are you sharing a folder on windows? do you have simple file sharing on or not. is it winxp or what? | 06:30 |
| Jeruvy | The_Warlock: try 'sudo ifup eth0' | 06:30 |
| stea | mazda01 - thanks for your help. that looks like a very tedious thing ! | 06:30 |
| stea | mazda01, really thanks though for the patience | 06:30 |
| The_Warlock | but i am able to access the net | 06:30 |
| The_Warlock | Jeruvy: its only that website i am not able to access | 06:31 |
| Dessan | Jeruvy, He has an IPv4 IP enabled according to that ifconfig | 06:31 |
| stea | mazda01 - i am about 1min away from downloading the 8.10 upgrade, it will need to install though - this i am connected via a hard line | 06:31 |
| DVA5912 | ok, so how do i add my user to the /var/www stuff? | 06:31 |
| zahid | mazda01: will you like to give me the link about nfs | 06:31 |
| rojas | yes its xp, i am really novate in linux, how can i know ifim shaing a folder | 06:31 |
| rojas | Ç? | 06:31 |
| mazda01__ | stea: you shouldn't be scared at compiling from source. it's part of linux sometimes. this would be a perfect to dive in. just follow it step by step and i am sure it'll work out for you. i remember the first time I compiled from source. I was so scard and it turned out to be so easy. | 06:31 |
| Jeruvy | Dessan: but it is not up | 06:31 |
| DVA5912 | better yet. how do i add my user to group www-data | 06:31 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: sudo gpasswd -a username groupname | 06:31 |
| bodhizazen | sudo usermod -a -G www-data you | 06:31 |
| DVA5912 | wo, which one | 06:32 |
| lstarnes | either should work | 06:32 |
| mazda01__ | rojas: if you don't know if you're sharing a folder in winxp then I don't know if I can help. have you goggled this? it's merely right clicking on a folder in windows explorer and going to sharing and security and telling it to share the folder and allowing everyone either read only access or write access or whatever you want. | 06:32 |
| zahid | Anybody help me regarding nfs share on nfs server | 06:33 |
| zahid | means mounting | 06:33 |
| DixxieC | Sure zahid | 06:33 |
| DixxieC | What's your problem? :-) | 06:33 |
| bodhizazen | DVA5912, you need to log out and back in though for your new group to take affect | 06:33 |
| DixxieC | DVA5912: Mate, can you please stop your CTCP-querys hehe. :) | 06:33 |

| DVA5912 | lets not go through this again. DixxieC | 06:34 |
| Tetracomm | How do I tell Ubuntu to shut down after a particular period of time? | 06:34 |
| DixxieC | Hmm DVA5912? | 06:34 |
| cooper77z | I don't know | 06:34 |
| fogus | hey guys. is it possible to use mdadm to raid together a bunch of truecrypt partitions? | 06:34 |

| bazhang | DixxieC, please stop | 06:34 |
| scunizi | dippyskoodlez, you might want to ask on #vbox.. I use vbox and have never come across that issue.. | 06:34 |
| dippyskoodlez | I don't physically have a right ctrl | 06:35 |
| dippyskoodlez | lol | 06:35 |
| mazda01__ | zahid: I said I'd help you. have you defined your exports file, have you made your mount points in the remote computers fstab file? you need to follow a guide, here you go: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html i doubt someone is going to hold your hand the entire way. i'll help if you get stuck on something | 06:35 |
| cooper77z | how do I tell my laptop to play music with the screen shut? | 06:35 |
| scunizi | dippyskoodlez, I know.. but #vbox might have a solution | 06:35 |
| DVA5912 | DELE index.html | 06:35 |
| DVA5912 | permission denied... | 06:35 |
| bodhizazen | change the defaults in vbox to left control or shift | 06:35 |
| bodhizazen | it hs the host key | 06:35 |
| bodhizazen | dippyskoodlez, ^^ | 06:35 |
| dippyskoodlez | It's captured right now lol >_< | 06:36 |
| zahid | mazda01: yes mount on remote clients | 06:36 |
| J-_ | Weird. Before I had over 1100FPS in glxgears, now I try it, and it's just over 600FPS. I have UXA enabled in xorg.conf | 06:37 |
| bodhizazen | dippyskoodlez, well, lol | 06:37 |

| vise | cooper77z, Change power options to not do anything when your screen is shut | 06:38 |
| blognewb | Is Google APps free? like postfix? | 06:38 |
| mazda01__ | zahid: if you defined your exports file on the NFS server, then just define your fstab entries on the client. something like : 192.168.0.3:/media/500gb/recordings /media/500gb/recordings nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr | 06:38 |
| cooper77z | thank you vise | 06:38 |
| zahid | mazda01: on clients it works but on nfs server not | 06:39 |
| cooper77z | I don't need an mp3 player now | 06:39 |
| Dessan | blognewb, Thats like asking if black is black when its another color. Its a free service, but you don't own it (or your data even) | 06:40 |
| duckwars_ | Following the instructions for basic Authentication found here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html | 06:40 |
| duckwars_ | I cannot figure out where to put the .htaccess file | 06:40 |
| cooper77z | is change power options under administrative? | 06:40 |
| zahid | mazda01: exports fiel ---- /data_nfs/medical_data/ 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) | 06:40 |
| vise | cooper77z, System->preferences->power options | 06:40 |
| blognewb | Dessan: i don't own postfix if i host it locally? | 06:40 |
| cooper77z | doing | 06:40 |
| duckwars_ | "These directives may be placed in a .htaccess file in the particular directory being protected, or may go in the main server configuration file, in a <Directory> section, or other scope container." | 06:41 |
| duckwars_ | pleeeeeaaaassee | 06:41 |
| Dessan | blognewb, Thats my point, you do own it if you host it locally. Google owns your data if you use Apps | 06:41 |
| blognewb | Dessan: well Apps isn't free at all for business purposes | 06:41 |
| cooper77z | Perfect, I have wanted to do that so long, hurray! | 06:41 |
| zahid | mazda01: on nfs server fstab file ----/data_nfs/medical_data /home/useradd/Desktop/medical_data 0 0 | 06:41 |
| lstarnes | duckwars_: it depends on what directories you need to require access for | 06:41 |
| bodhizazen | duckwars_, root is in /var/www | 06:41 |
| bodhizazen | so what directory do you want to protect ? | 06:42 |
| bazhang | blognewb, Dessan please continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:42 |
| cooper77z | thanks vise | 06:42 |
| zahid | mazda01: on client it works but on nfs server not | 06:42 |
| blognewb | lstarnes: i couldnt speak yet via defocus | 06:42 |
| bodhizazen | If you have root access, probably best to put it in apache config rather then use .htaccess, imo | 06:42 |
| duckwars_ | well what I did was, I put soft links in /var/www which are links to files on a USB hard drive connected to the server | 06:42 |
| duckwars_ | symbolic links | 06:42 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: just wait a few minutes | 06:42 |
| mazda01__ | zahid: what do you mean it doesn't work on server? the server is sharing out those folders. | 06:42 |
| mazda01__ | zahid: you should the same thing on the client if you mounted them correctly as you see on the server | 06:43 |
| DVA5912 | ok this is anoying me like crazy | 06:43 |
| bodhizazen | If you want to protect http://your_server.com/foo | 06:43 |
| DVA5912 | im part of the www-data group, and yet still no permision to manage files | 06:43 |
| bodhizazen | put it in /var/www/frr | 06:43 |
| bodhizazen | put it in /var/www/foo | 06:43 |
| === kg4cna_ is now known as kg4cna | ||
| lstarnes | DVA5912: it depends on what the permissions are on /var/www and the files in it | 06:44 |
| Xuzz | I need general help here with Startup Items. I added this command (what I need to start compiz) to my startup items, but compiz doesn't start. Running this command manually starts compiz fine. How do I get this to run? "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &" | 06:44 |
| mazda01__ | zahid: my exports file looks like this: /var/lib/mythtv 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) | 06:44 |
| DVA5912 | what tells the permisions of /var/www ls -a? | 06:44 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: ls -la | 06:44 |
| bodhizazen | yes DVA5912 | 06:44 |
| duckwars_ | here's the thing though, in /var/www I used softlinks to server up a file somewhere else, so I tried putting the .htaccess file in the file that the soft link points to, but that didn't seem to work | 06:44 |
| bodhizazen | ls -lA | 06:45 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: the permissions of . equal that directory | 06:45 |
| bodhizazen | =) | 06:45 |
| lstarnes | bodhizazen: -A does not include . or .. | 06:45 |
| lstarnes | bodhizazen: in this case . is needed | 06:45 |
| bodhizazen | exactly LSD|Ninja | 06:45 |
| DVA5912 | looks like its root accros the board | 06:45 |
| DVA5912 | no wonder | 06:45 |
| bodhizazen | ls -lA /var | 06:45 |
| DVA5912 | so do i become a member of root or change those to www-data | 06:45 |
| zahid | mazda01: i did on client it works but no nfs server not work | 06:45 |
| bodhizazen | use sudo DVA5912 | 06:46 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: what user is the webserver running as? | 06:46 |
| mazda01__ | Xuzz: those are all seperate commands? you could write a cash script and then just add that bash script to your startup items. | 06:46 |
| DVA5912 | this is over ssh | 06:46 |
| bodhizazen | sudo -i | 06:46 |
| lstarnes | bodhizazen: that's likely not necessary | 06:46 |
| DVA5912 | DVA5913, dont let my admin catch you | 06:46 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: are you using apache? | 06:46 |
| bodhizazen | lol LSD|Ninja | 06:46 |
| DVA5912 | yes | 06:46 |
| bodhizazen | lol lstarnes | 06:46 |
| DVA5912 | apache2 | 06:46 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: is apache2 running from the www-data account? | 06:47 |
| bodhizazen | unless you want to type sudo over and over =) | 06:47 |
| cooper77z | I wanted to play music with my laptop closed in xp for months, It was so easy in ubuntu with community | 06:47 |
| DVA5912 | i got a prblem | 06:47 |
| DVA5912 | DuCKEr is being a baby | 06:47 |
| vise | cooper77z, Even in xp it's the same way.. But there's no such 'instant support' community for xp.. ;) | 06:47 |
| DVA5912 | that is the same person as DVA5913 and DellaDuck | 06:48 |
| cooper77z | thanks again community | 06:48 |
| DVA5912 | i dont know how to tell | 06:48 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: just ignore it. It's not worth your attention, which is what it wants | 06:48 |
| DVA5912 | hes keeps | 06:48 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: try ps aux | grep apache2 | grep -v grep | 06:48 |
| DVA5912 | inviting me to channels. poping up messages | 06:48 |
| pt1989 | hi all | 06:49 |
| pt1989 | my firefox keeps crashing | 06:49 |
| DVA5912 | lstarnes: ok, got one root and the rest are www-data | 06:49 |
| pt1989 | i completely removed it using synaptic and then reinstalled | 06:49 |
| cooper77z | my battery only lasts for like 90 minutes though and it's one of those slim type external ones, I gotta get a better battery | 06:49 |
| pt1989 | still it's crashing | 06:49 |
| bodhizazen | probably an extension or corrupt profile pt1989 | 06:49 |
| mazda01__ | pt1989: have you tried firefox 3.0? | 06:49 |
| DVA5912 | can someone ban his ip | 06:49 |
| DVA5912 | hes harrasing me | 06:49 |
| lstarnes | DVA5912: it would probably be safe for /var/www to be owned by the user www-data and the group www-data | 06:49 |

| bodhizazen | you then log in with that user name and sama pw | 06:56 |
| alex___ | ARMENIAN: Or did you mean like ctrl alt delete on windows? | 06:56 |

| timewaster | how do I troubleshoot suspend resume issues? | 07:35 |
| k3Rn | mazda01: can't even install apt-redends | 07:36 |
| shankhs | iceroot: dont you think thats buggy ?? | 07:36 |
| timewaster | at least what's the proper way to submit a bug? | 07:36 |
| iceroot | shankhs: why? | 07:36 |
| bronson | timewaster, you figure out which driver is causing the problem. | 07:36 |
| jbinder | How do I get a website like http://www.sawpedia.com to load? I have an atheros card | 07:36 |
| timewaster | yup | 07:36 |
| bullgard4 | System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes shows a column 'Waiting Channel'. What is a 'waiting channel'? | 07:36 |
| timewaster | bronson:^^ | 07:36 |
| bronson | unplug all devices, etc. | 07:36 |
| fogus | help: there is this Steve-o guy who is giving me weird messages | 07:36 |
| shankhs | iceroot: i used wubi and I found that pretty bugggy | 07:37 |
| fogus | how do I block him? | 07:37 |
| timewaster | bronson: it's the nvidia binary driver that's causing the problem. it works fine with the nv driver. | 07:37 |
| iceroot | shankhs: look at the links,, its not wubi | 07:37 |
| bronson | timewaster, ah. that's not good. | 07:37 |
| k3Rn | noone here can tell me how to install the latest ersion of the program virt-manager? | 07:37 |
| iceroot | shankhs: http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html | 07:37 |
| bronson | there's basically nothing that can be done about that. | 07:37 |
| k3Rn | i am sure there is a simple way to do that. | 07:37 |
| shankhs | iceroot: ok thanks | 07:37 |
| unop | Ileden, I have to leave now, i'm sorry to leave you hanging. What I'd do if i were you is to have a look (or get someone) to examine the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for errors (marked by (EE)) and work that way up. | 07:37 |
| mazda01__ | k3Rn, apt-rdepends | 07:37 |
| k3Rn | lie with the package from packages.ubunut.com | 07:37 |
| bronson | you could try bugging nvidia but they're not very responsive. | 07:37 |
| SnakDoc | anyone have idea when firefox-3.5 will become firefox ? | 07:38 |
| SnakDoc | if that makes sense ? | 07:38 |
| Ileden | unop: ok, bye! Thanks. | 07:38 |
| bronson | SnakDoc, the 9.10 release | 07:38 |
| iceroot | shankhs: with 9.10 | 07:38 |
| iceroot | SnakDoc: with 9.10 | 07:38 |
| timewaster | bronson: i've read something about the driver needing to be restarted. something about nvidia quirks or something. i think that my driver is not restarting. | 07:38 |
| iceroot | shankhs: sorry, wrong nick | 07:38 |
| SnakDoc | ok got till oct then sounds good | 07:38 |
| shankhs | iceroot: no prob | 07:39 |
| Ileden | 'glxinfo |grep render' also produces only "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." | 07:39 |
| bronson | timewaster, dunno. On my nvidia computer I just use the nv driver. It's slow but it's more reliable for me. | 07:39 |
| diddy | Does anybody know how to extend the time that sudo will give me to be root? | 07:40 |
| k3Rn | mazda01: http://paste.ubuntu.com/226131/ | 07:40 |

| jbinder | I am trying to load a site | 07:42 |
| jbinder | What channel should I go to? | 07:42 |
| lstarnes | Steve-o: all the claims I've heard were that you were doing it | 07:42 |
| jbinder | wtf | 07:42 |
| iceroot | jbinder: you want to load a website? | 07:42 |
| Mike94287 | For some reason all my window controls have stopped showing and everything is really messed up. Compiz isn't working or anything. | 07:42 |
| gane | mazda01, i didnt get any help from that website | 07:43 |
| gane | is there anyway to access the webcam or making it to work .. | 07:44 |
| shankhs | \quit | 07:44 |
| gane | in your web page also it is mentioned that there is no driver for that | 07:44 |
| Mike94287 | Can someone tell me how to restart xorg, I think that may be the problem | 07:45 |
| gane | but it was posted by 2007 | 07:45 |
| gane | this is 2009 right | 07:45 |
| timewaster | how do i get my nvidia mx4000 to resume? there seems to be a generic nvidia quirks setting for hal but I don't know how to verify if my card is in the list or how to add it if it's not. | 07:45 |
| Flannel | diddy: edit your sudoers and set timestamp_timeout, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers on editing sudoers (be *sure* to use visudo) | 07:45 |
| mazda01__ | Mike94287: hit ctrl-alt-F1, that will take you to a console, log in, then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start. that should restart you xorg, you may have to hit ctrl-alt-F7 but I don't think so. | 07:46 |
| diddy | Flannel, Thank you. | 07:46 |

| Ileden | I'm trying to get my Radeon 9200 to work with 3d support (according to the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver it should have support). unop kindly pointed me to check out EE-errors in my Xorg.0.log - there's only one error, which reads "Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)".

| mich01128 | i already had configured my bind9 for the second time... | 07:51 |
| mazda01__ | rishav: are you behind a router? | 07:51 |
| Mike94287 | mazda01__: Yes I'm using compiz but it's not working either right now, also I don't know how I can access Terminal because this chat window is blocking my menus and I can't move it out of the way | 07:51 |
| rishav | yeah... | 07:51 |
| Cronos | try ext4 realy works great | 07:51 |
| mazda01__ | mich01128: do you have any iptables rules set? | 07:52 |
| homercycles | but ext3 would be the safest option? I mean, ext2 is a tad old, isn't it? | 07:52 |
| rishav | but.. i want to use it in the intranet.. | 07:52 |
| rexes13 | good morning | 07:52 |
| mich01128 | nope...no iptables yet...how do i do dat? | 07:52 |
| mazda01__ | Mike94287: hit ctrl-F2, that'll bring up a run box, type in gnome-terminal | 07:52 |
| Cronos | homer ex3 is same ex2 but whit jornaled system basicaly | 07:52 |
| homercycles | Cronos: I would guess journalling would be a must-have. thanks | 07:53 |

| rishav | http://pastie.org/556054 , my.cnf file | 07:53 |
| mazda01__ | mich01128: if you didn't do anything with iptables then no rules should be defined I don't think. ai am not sure why you can't ping your computer? | 07:53 |
| homercycles | Cronos: I'm not sure about ext4 yet. not too sure they've ironed out all the bugs | 07:53 |
| Mike94287 | mazda01__: Nothing opened, however I tried running metacity in Ctrl Alt F1 and it said it was unable to start the window manager | 07:53 |
| Cronos | well go ext3 is very solid by now | 07:53 |

| Mike94287 | mazda01__: Nope | 07:54 |
| rishav | mazda01_ : i want it use it in the router subnet, not excess it from the internet, so I guess port forwarding from the router is not required | 07:55 |

| Jeruvy | Mike94287: can you re-explain? | 07:58 |
| mazda01__ | mich01128: you need to make sure that your external ip is associated to your domain name using dyndns or something simliar and then if you don't have a static ip you need to use a program that updates your external and domain name when your external ip changes. gotta go now. bye | 07:59 |

| mazda01__ | rishav: your running nmap on an internal ip address when you need to be running nmap on your external ip to see what ports are listening to the outside world. you need to run netstat -pant to see what ports are listening. also, there's a website that will run namp again your computer, i think it's called shields up or soemthing like that | 08:05 |

| Ravahan | Someone said that they got a black screen with Comp... er.... Crap, I can't remember. Comp-something-z enabled, and the winehq message said not to run wine with that thingie | 08:06 |
| Ravahan | Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? lol | 08:07 |
| Jeruvy | Mike94287: I'm failing to connect the dots with your 'windows' issue and the problem. | 08:07 |

| mazda01__ | Mike94287: you can't run metacity from tty1 bcause X isn't running on that console. you ahve to run metacity from tty7. | 08:09 |
| Mike94287 | I can't access tty7 | 08:10 |
| Jeruvy | Mike94287: Ah ^^ | 08:10 |
| mazda01__ | JamesHoldsworth: .passwd is a file not a directory then | 08:10 |

| JamesHoldsworth | its owned by root | 08:11 |

| Ravahan | Well, I'll mess around in the kitchen and try back in a bit here. | 08:11 |
| Mike94287 | mazda01: I'll try restarting and opening terminal then trying to run metacity | 08:11 |
| Cronos | Ravahan try stop compiz when you use wine you can install an applet to do that from synaptics | 08:11 |
| mazda01__ | ok | 08:11 |
| Cryptorchild | JamesHoldsworth: if it's directory you can by cd .passwd, if it's a file you can by using vim or vi or other text editor | 08:11 |
| Ileden | JamesHoldsworth: I'm interested in what the output of 'ls -alF' shows at the beginning about it. Something like "-rw-r--r--"? | 08:12 |
| Cryptorchild | JamesHoldsworth: owned by root, not your concern anymore then ;) | 08:12 |
| mazda01__ | JamesHoldsworth: when you run ls -a on it, does it have a d in the very begining, if not, then it's a file not a directory | 08:12 |

| mazda01__ | JoAnneThrax: not sure what you're asking but before changing any system file, I always make a backup that way you can at a minimum boot up a live cd, then replace the bad file with your backup file.

| Mike94287 | Cronos: I used the command metacity in terminal instead of in tty1, I wasn't able to access it before because my windows were covering up my menus. | 08:19 |
| SnakDoc | s1gmab3ta i had to install hidpoint to get more advanced features of my keyboard to work | 08:19 |
| SnakDoc | s1gmab3ta not sure if it help you for that i was trying to get special keys to work | 08:20 |
| JoAnneThrax | mazda01: thanks; I already backed it up... | 08:20 |
| s1gmab3ta | SnakDoc: i'll look into it | 08:20 |
| Cronos | so you have a terminal window if you close all go messed up is that terminal runing something? | 08:20 |
| JoAnneThrax | mazda01: This would be a lot easier with CCC, but it's not letting me configure it to do dual monitors | 08:20 |
| Mike94287 | Cronos: yes | 08:21 |

| paolo | Hi guys! I have a MS keyboard, which by default sends alternate codes for the functions key, and in order to get the usual codes I must press a F buttun every time I boot. Is there any trick in order to get the function key working as expected automatically? thank you! | 08:24 |
| Cronos | what didi you change that make that problem start? | 08:24 |
| lstarnes | colloguy: because those modes are used for starting, not stopping | 08:24 |
| nooneelse | someone here use ubuntu 9.04 with videocache (www.cachevideos.com) ? cause after a fresh install of ubuntu it's not working anymore!? Could someone give some tips? | 08:24 |
| Mike94287 | Cronos: I didn't change anything, the screen just went black and it looked like I was in a full screen terminal | 08:24 |
| colloguy | lstarnes: where is the stopping handled? :] | 08:24 |
| SnakDoc | paolo was just talking about that look at http://www.hidpoint.com/supported_devices.html | 08:25 |
| lstarnes | colloguy: I think it's handled automatically by init switching starting and stopping when exiting a runlevel | 08:25 |
| Cronos | wow no uupdates no nothing that is realy extrage | 08:25 |
| colloguy | lstarnes: oh cool | 08:25 |
| lstarnes | colloguy: or it might be handled by the target runlevel | 08:25 |
| Mike94287 | Cronos: The really strange thing is that this isn't the first time that full screen terminal has showed up, it first showed up when I turned my fan off but nothing happened that time and now when I turn my fan off again this happened. | 08:26 |
| Mike94287 | I don't see what a fan sitting on my desk would have to do with anything though :s | 08:26 |
| paolo | SnakDoc, I can't understand, that page doesn't say anything | 08:26 |
| SnakDoc | paolo shows supported devices by that program | 08:27 |
| s1gmab3ta | SnakDoc: doesn't seem like this program supports my mouse nearly as well as they'd have us believe | 08:27 |
| s1gmab3ta | it says i dont have a mouse | 08:27 |
| s1gmab3ta | lol | 08:27 |

| Ileden | I'm trying to get my Radeon 9200 to work with 3d support by following the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver. My Xorg.0.log has only one error, which reads "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". I'm wondering why "NVidia", since I have a Radeon card - my previous card was NVidia. Could this point to the source of my problem? Any idea on how to proceed? | 08:31 |

| taruz | good evening, im having some troubles setting up my video card on ubuntu | 08:33 |
| taruz | i have a geforce 9400gt 1gb | 08:33 |
| SnakDoc | s1gmab3ta sry about that haven't had my bats get low in mine to see since i found it but it added function for special keys figured would keep battery to was suppose to be drivers for all | 08:33 |
| SnakDoc | s1gmab3ta atleast thats what i thought | 08:33 |
| taruz | and it only allows for a 640x480 resolution | 08:33 |
| taruz | can somebody help? | 08:33 |
| SnakDoc | taruz you try restricted hardware drivers ? | 08:34 |
| taruz | the drivers are installed | 08:34 |
| SnakDoc | you reboot after that ? | 08:34 |
| bluntman225 | hey guys, i need a little advice. I have a webcam that serves images on 192.168.1.13/image.cgi - Is it possible to write a script to download an image from the camera, run Image Magic on it to clean up the file (the camera produces messed up headers for the jpeg) then overwrite the image automaticly? Sort of like a shell script | 08:34 |
| taruz | i have the nvidia config thingy in my system > administration | 08:34 |
| taruz | i rebooted, after that | 08:34 |
| taruz | i only get that resolution | 08:34 |
| SnakDoc | and you trying to use nvidia config to change settings and it want let you ? | 08:35 |
| taruz | i tried using the config and it only lets me change between 640x480 and 320x240 | 08:35 |
| taruz | i added a Modes line with the supported resolutions to my xorg.conf file | 08:35 |
| taruz | but it didnt worked | 08:35 |
| SnakDoc | only other thing i know is to edit config file | 08:36 |
| taruz | what should the xorg.conf file would have to look like? | 08:36 |

| ecolitan | i need to disable the automatic networking stuff in ubuntu | 08:38 |
| Ileden | bluntman225: sure it's possible. It could be done with a shell script I imagine, or a simple program using python or command-line php. | 08:38 |

| Ravahan | Cronos: I saw that-- Thanks. I installed the configuration manager, which was the only thing I saw at first glance that looked like it'd work. I looked at it after the install, but didn't see anything that simply said "turn this thing off" so I didn't mess with it for now. | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | taruz: use tab to complete names ;) | 08:42 |
| taruz | thanks! | 08:42 |
| Ravahan | Would "sudo invoke-rc.d compiz stop" stop compiz? | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: try it | 08:43 |
| taruz | how do i make ubuntu to display on more resolutions | 08:43 |
| taruz | im currently in 640x480 and its ridiculously small | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | taruz: you need to configure video drivers | 08:43 |
| taruz | ok, i installed the restricted drivers, rebooted and i have this small resolution | 08:43 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: heh, good point. I guess I'm just scared of screwing something up here. Gonna give it a whirl! | 08:43 |
| Scorpio | Don't worry taruz the basics of the program consists of 19,622 components in which are diverted into smaller pixals to upload the frame-rate to perform optimal performance in such cases of inverted diagrams on a scale of perportioned value. Understand? | 08:43 |
| taruz | i have the nvidia config thing on system > administration | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: you can always reboot if it goes weird | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | taruz: then run: gksudo nvidia-settings | 08:44 |
| lancerocke | hi all | 08:44 |
| lancerocke | im getting no grub options | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | taruz: if it says you arent running any drivers thn run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | taruz: and reboot | 08:44 |
| lancerocke | it just automatically boots into ubuntu | 08:45 |
| taruz | i have the nvidia-glx-180 installed | 08:45 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: Eh, looks like no. I kinda expected this.. Just a command I used to stop gmd earlier when I was installing some NVIDIA drivers (which was a big mistake >.<) | 08:45 |
| ARMENIAN | why does xfce use 253 MB of ram whereas gnome uses 234? | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | taruz: cool | 08:45 |
| Guest35724 | serius | 08:45 |
| lancerocke | someone here said http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293180 'Place a # before the hidden option to see GRUB at boot time' | 08:45 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: It refers to /etc/init.d/[process] it looks like | 08:45 |
| lancerocke | but i already have one there | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lancerocke: then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the timeout to something longer | 08:45 |
| taruz | ActionParsnip: i know, but it wont give me other resolutions other than 640 and 320 | 08:46 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: Any idea what command I could use to try and halt compiz? | 08:46 |
| Scorpio | Taruz: I beg to differ on Actionparsnip's theory of running ANY driver, you run the risk of completly frying the whole program with too many functions simultaneously running at once. | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: metacity --replace & | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorpio: which program will be "fried"? | 08:47 |
| lancerocke | ActionParsnip, i did and it doesnt work http://pastebin.com/m37e14b10 | 08:47 |
| === mr is now known as Guest81051 | ||
| ActionParsnip | lancerocke: ok,what if you cange the timeout to say 10 | 08:47 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: Well that certainly did something. Let me see what happens when I boot PlayOnline... Also, what do I type to re-enable it? | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: compiz --replace & | 08:48 |
| Scorpio | ActionParsnip: that all depends on the main-frame of the mother board. It could just be a glitch of one's computer OR it could simply be a internal function embedded deep within the board to crash and destroy the program | 08:48 |
| lancerocke | ok ill try it | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: if you use alt+f2 you don't need '&' | 08:48 |
| lancerocke | ## timeout sec | 08:48 |
| lancerocke | # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry | 08:48 |
| lancerocke | # (normally the first entry defined). | 08:48 |

| ActionParsnip | lancerocke: yes, just don't flood the channel | 08:48 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: Cool. Looks like that didn't fix it though... | 08:48 |
| lancerocke | ActionParsnip, thanks brb | 08:49 |

| gogeta | < hate wine | 08:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: depends which game | 08:54 |
| Boohbah | cube|hospital: it should work, but there's only one way to find out | 08:54 |
| Scorpio | Actionparsnip: to name a few, Automatix, Beagle, Gnome Deskbar Applet, VLC, Firefox, amaroK, CheckGmail, Add NTFS Read/Write support, XGL/Compiz = Purdiest | 08:54 |
| Cronos | isnt cedega or something call like that to run ms games on linux | 08:55 |
| Boohbah | Ravahan: you may check the wine application db for compatibility with your app http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorpio: so installing nvidia drivers via apt will damage ntfs-3g? | 08:55 |
| DJones | Ravahan: The best place to ask about games/wine would be in #winehq the people there should be the best ones to help you | 08:55 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: Well, I'm trying at the moment to get FFXI to run. Its the top listed app in appdb's Gold list, so I'm thinking it /should/ work | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorpio: i doubt that heavily | 08:55 |
| cube|hospital | Boohbah: lol which is? just trying it out? | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: make sure you use wine from the wine repo: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 08:55 |
| Boohbah | cube|hospital: yes | 08:55 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: I got Wine through Synaptic-- no good? | 08:55 |
| lancerocke | ActionParsnip, thanks that worked but what if i wanted it to automatically show me the grub menu list and not boot to anything unless i chose? | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: if you scroll down the app in appd, you will see hints on files you may need to place on your system from the web | 08:56 |

| cube|hospital | ok lol | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorpio: the worst that will happen is no x server will load, leaving the user in command line. ntfs-3g will certainly work without an x server | 08:56 |
| Scorpio | doubt is the creation of destruction. You should know that more then anyone ActonParsnip | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: try te one on the wine repo | 08:56 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: I had replaced those from a windows install on a different partion np and registered them... What I'm getting is a black screen when I open it. I can tell when I mouse over that the usual stuff is actually there, and I can hear the music... but I just can't see anything. | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: read the appdb entry, maybe someone is having the same issue | 08:57 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: Someone who had a similar issue suggested it might be DirectX issues... So I googled some instructions to get DirectX9 installed and did those too | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Ravahan: you don't install directx9 in wine | 08:57 |
| Ravahan | ActionParsnip: So now I've got a bunch of DLLs set to Native (Windows) | 08:57 |
| cube|hospital | anybody using a 3g usb stick with ubuntu? | 08:57 |

| ActionParsnip | taruz: you can get it back using grub | 08:59 |

| ActionParsnip | !firewall | aeiou_ | 09:27 |
| ubottu | aeiou_: 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).

| Zermus | so like I loaded up ubuntu cause I never tried it, got it installed and all | 09:30 |

| meglo | All my sound is working except for totem and rhythmbox. They seemingly load the file but refuse to play it. This happens with ogg/mp3/aac, and I have the proper codecs. What is wrong? | 09:30 |
| nevyn | Zermus: opinions are like assholes? | 09:30 |
| Yanick_ | ActionParsnip, I think the install/uninstall package of tomcat6 is not working, when removing tomcat6, it cannot remove /var/lib/tomcat6, complaining that the folder is not empty | 09:31 |
| aeiou_ | ActionParsnip: should ufw be installed by default on my sever? | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | aeiou_: not sure, iptables will be though | 09:31 |

| JoAnneThrax | My computer keeps resetting the volume to zero and muting it on every reboot. One workaround is to create a startup file with this script: sleep 1 | 09:32 |

My Xorg.0.log has only one error, which reads "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". I'm wondering why "NVidia", since I have a Radeon card - my previous card was NVidia. Could this point to the source of my problem? Any idea on how to pr | 09:34 |

| ActionParsnip | Yanick_: ok thats good | 09:40 |
| Spikemcc | I want my ubuntu iso always fresh, what is the best jigdo or torrent ? minimal cd, alternate, server, desktop or dvd ? | 09:40 |
| JoAnneThrax | nevyn: Yeah, I figured that. Just wasn't sure where to put said script. | 09:40 |
| Yanick_ | the date is wrong though :) we're on the 23, not 24 lol | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Yanick_: you need to work out how to satisfy: default-jdk debhelper | 09:40 |
| Yanick_ | oh | 09:40 |
| Yanick_ | nm | 09:40 |
| dam0 | hey | 09:40 |
| Yanick_ | ActionParsnip, but default-jdk installs open-jdk | 09:41 |
| Yanick_ | I have sun-java6 installed | 09:41 |
| dam0 | i have a intel Pentium D with 2 gig of ram, im wondering how many slots would my mother board have? | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Yanick_: maybe you need default-jdk-dev | 09:41 |
| jrib | dam0: google your motherboard | 09:41 |
| Yanick_ | hmm... | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dam0: we can't tell from that. Plus this is ubuntu support, try #hardware | 09:41 |
| Spikemcc | dam0 open your tower ... | 09:41 |
| dam0 | yea | 09:41 |
| dam0 | and? | 09:41 |
| iceroot | dam0: look there? | 09:42 |
| dam0 | lol | 09:42 |
| iceroot | dam0: count the slots? | 09:42 |
| mOrO^ | hehe | 09:42 |
| dam0 | ok | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: simple isn't it .. ;) | 09:42 |
| speedhunt3r | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/226459/ the parition in question is /media/Media | 09:42 |
| Ileden | is there a way to get a list of packages I've manually installed to my ubuntu? Preferably in a way I can then tell another ubuntu to install them? | 09:42 |
| Yanick_ | ActionParsnip, there is no default-jdk-dev and default-jdk requires open-jdk, which conflicts with sun-java6 | 09:42 |
| Gorillaz | ActionParsnip : i tried doing chmod 1777 /tmp as root...still am not able to login | 09:42 |
| Slart | !clone | Ileden | 09:42 |
| ubottu | Ileden: 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 | 09:42 |

| Spikemcc | damn noobs ... outch I'm rude now !!! simple but unclear for them, I cannot understand that ... | 09:42 |

| xyleborus | can some one help me to disable dansguardian?? | 09:43 |
| jrib | speedhunt3r: by default some of the drive is reserved for root usage. Disable/modify the mount using tune2fs if you want | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dahlia: then you will need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the modeline | 09:43 |
| Ileden | Slart: thanks! | 09:43 |
| dahlia | modeline? | 09:44 |
| shay26 | jpds: all the guides refer to gui upgrade .. how can i do upgrade from the terminal ? | 09:44 |
| xyleborus | can some one help me to disable dansguardian?? | 09:44 |
| Spikemcc | iceroot jigdo or torrent, and which type of iso is the best for someone that know well how to setup ubuntu ? | 09:44 |
| dam0 | i counted them, i have 4 slots all full, i guess there is 4 x 512ram sticks, how can i find out how mutch ram it is compatible with? | 09:44 |
| speedhunt3r | jrib, man, 11gb is alot to be stored for root storage, and why would root want to store stuff in my media parition? its not my root parition... | 09:44 |
| iceroot | dahlia: the resolution ActionParsnip menas | 09:44 |
| jrib | dam0: google your motherboard | 09:44 |
| CTShadow | i'd like to install Kolab on my ubuntu 8.04. is there a way to do this via the repositories or a .deb package? | 09:44 |
| dahlia | kk trying... | 09:44 |
| Slart | Spikemcc: why not use the minimal install and go from there... install what you need | 09:44 |
| iceroot | Spikemcc: minimal or alternate is fine | 09:45 |
| jrib | speedhunt3r: because by default when you create an ext3 partition 5% is reserved for root | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dam0: look at the board itselffor markings, one will tell you what board it is and you can wesearch it or ead to the manufacturers site | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dam0: you can also read your manual | 09:45 |
| iceroot | dam0: look at the motherbaord manual | 09:45 |
| speedhunt3r | jrib, I just deleted one file and it says 367MB free in nautilus and gparted says 12.36gb free | 09:45 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: you are to fast for me :) | 09:45 |
| dam0 | i havent got a manual | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: i use cli mostly dude ;) | 09:45 |
| iceroot | dam0: google a manual | 09:45 |
| jrib | speedhunt3r: right because one takes into account that space is reserved for root and the other doesn't I assume | 09:46 |
| Spikemcc | yep but I think to use a repository or something more suited to softwares I need no more no less got an idea ? | 09:46 |
| dahlia | ActionParsnip, there are no resolutions in that file at all | 09:46 |
| jrib | speedhunt3r: like I said, change the amount, root doesn't need 11gb | 09:46 |
| bartmon | Hi! I have an offline install and i need to install some packages with it. How can I only download certain debs from the repos with apt-get and where are they stored. Thanks! | 09:46 |
| dahlia | is there an example anywhere? | 09:46 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: same here but it is early in the morning, so i am sleeping a little bit, that is your advantage | 09:46 |
| speedhunt3r | jrib, yeah how do i do that? | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | dahlia: then run: gksudo nvidia-settings | 09:46 |
| jrib | speedhunt3r: use tune2fs, search its man page for the word "reserved" | 09:46 |
| speedhunt3r | jrib, the funny thing is it happened one day after updates...it wasn't like this before | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | dahlia: and set a res, then click "write to xorg.conf" | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | dahlia: it will then populate | 09:47 |
| dahlia | kk, trying | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | dahlia: reopen the file and manually edit it | 09:47 |
| jrib | speedhunt3r: use Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer to find big files but root always had this reserved space | 09:47 |
| Spikemcc | !minimal cd | 09:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about minimal cd | 09:48 |

| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 09:49 |

| Yanick_ | This page : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html should mention that tomcat6 requires open-jdk, or else it won't install | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | CTShadow: apt-cace search kolab | 09:50 |
| jrib | speedhunt3r: touch forcefsck on the partition's root but that wouldn't give you space, no. Lower the percentage of reserved blocks on the partition. | 09:50 |
| Spikemcc | does the alternate can be installed like the minimal cd or it put some junk on install ? | 09:50 |
| ibrar | But it does not compile my changes in route.c which i did manually | 09:50 |
| jrib | Leoneof: what didn't work exactly? | 09:50 |
| iceroot | Yanick_: openjdk or sun-java6-jdk | 09:50 |
| iceroot | Yanick_: of course it is needing java, because tomcat is a server for hosting java-apps | 09:51 |
| Leoneof | it is USB Wireless EnGunies EUB-362 EXT | 09:51 |
| Leoneof | it is USB Wireless EnGunies EUB-362 EXT | 09:51 |
| Yanick_ | iceroot, sun-java6 is installed, but tomcat6 will not install | 09:51 |
| Leoneof | oops | 09:51 |
| jrib | Spikemcc: alternate install the same as ubuntu-desktop, just with a different installer | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Spikemcc: the alternate install uses a text istall rather than a fancy gui install of the desktop. The minimal CD installs the OS from the repos | 09:51 |
| Leoneof | this is lsusb : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/226278/ | 09:51 |
| jrib | Leoneof: which instructions are you following from the !wifi link ubottu gave you that didn't work exactly? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Leoneof: can you also provide a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C network | 09:52 |
| Spikemcc | so minimal cd is better to install a minimal ubuntu ? | 09:52 |
| Yanick_ | iceroot, compiling the source package, it complains that default-jdk is not present, but default-jdk is part of open-jdk build-dep | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Spikemcc: yes, you can choose exactly what you want | 09:52 |

| Spikemcc | so 64 bits still immature on linux as on windows, not pure 64 bits, some apps are still not real releases, not all softwares are 64 bits precompiled for ubuntu ... mostly 64 bits is still immature a little almost ready ... | 10:11 |

| ActionParsnip | Spikemcc: i find 64bit very mature | 10:11 |

| linduxed | ive got some network secrets stored on one of my laptops, is there some way i can export them? | 10:58 |
| GSF1200S | linduxed.. umm, you mean via a network? | 10:59 |
| Spikemcc | ubuntu come from debian that is the best stable linux of all, ubuntu is based on unstable debian so an LTS is a good bet, but a stable release is like putting a lighten matche in gasoline ... | 10:59 |
| [nrx] | network secrets? | 10:59 |
| mabi | hm, but speaking of the live cd - is there any way to update the packages on it? | 10:59 |
| GSF1200S | roll your own mabi | 10:59 |
| linduxed | GSF1200S: no just generally export them. i want to have my wifi passwords exported to another laptop | 10:59 |
| GSF1200S | i think apt on cd allows you to do something like that | 11:00 |
| mabi | GSF1200S: doing that right know - i've got a custom hardy based cd | 11:00 |
| Spikemcc | in more regular terms, you should have the perfect hardware for a non LTS release ... Nvidia graphic card and stuff like that ... | 11:00 |
| linduxed | GSF1200S: dont want to get passwords for all the wifi APs again | 11:00 |
| BigMack83 | i used the command: "find . -type f -exec chmod 664 \{\} \;" to set all files in the current directory to a given permission. but the only exception is there is one file name that is repeated multiple times in different dir's, how would I change the command to search only for a given file name recursively and change the perm? | 11:00 |
| Spikemcc | mabi not really ... | 11:00 |
| mabi | but still figuring out how to include updated versions of the CD's packages | 11:00 |
| Spikemcc | make a live usb if you want fresh live session apps | 11:01 |
| GSF1200S | ehh... i dont know man- im not sure where gnome-network manager stores the passwords | 11:01 |
| GSF1200S | if it even stores in plain text- its prolly the gnome-keyring actually | 11:01 |
| GSF1200S | i dont know a whole lot about gnome | 11:01 |
| GSF1200S | i use KDE and OB mostly | 11:01 |

| GSF1200S | anyone in here have or have had dual monitors using gnome? | 11:02 |
| Spikemcc | I don't know how you do I can't stand kde look at all ... | 11:02 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S ok, I have hd1/2/3 and have fsck'ed and they are clean, apart from 2 which was swap | 11:02 |
| iceroot | GSF1200S: yes | 11:02 |
| iceroot | GSF1200S: why not ask a real question? | 11:02 |
| GSF1200S | iceroot- hold one sec.. trying to help ecolitan.. cool? | 11:03 |
| Spikemcc | amarok and kcontrol where the only kde softwares I ever used ... | 11:03 |
| GSF1200S | try rebooting and see what happens- fsck will automagically clean the filesystem often | 11:03 |
| BigMack83 | how would i change the command: "find . -type f -exec chmod 664 \{\} \;" to only find a given file name and change its permissoins? | 11:03 |
| Spikemcc | ok I start the flamewar gnome or kde ? | 11:04 |

| GSF1200S | iceroot- does the systray applet work on your second X session? I cant get any systray apps to minimize to tray on my second desktop- but the first is fine | 11:04 |
| BigMack83 | [nrx]: thanks. giving it a try... | 11:04 |
| Dekko | Will someone here please help me? I am using the Nvidia drivers (latest version off their website) and all works GREAT except I run two monitors and separate X Servers.... It blacks out the screens when I try to go to a text console.... CTRL-ALT-F2 for example. Can this be fixed? | 11:05 |
| jack2 | how to convert .rws file to text file? | 11:05 |
| kdub | use the conversion tool | 11:06 |
| GSF1200S | Dekko- one screen (the 2nd) will always go blank going to console- i have 2 screens like you | 11:06 |
| BigMack83 | [nrx]: perfect thanks | 11:06 |
| [nrx] | BigMack83: no problem :) | 11:06 |
| GSF1200S | if both go black- gimme a minute and ill try to help you | 11:07 |
| GSF1200S | ecolitan- any luck? | 11:07 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S you mentioned that I should check fstab against /dev/disk/<someing> | 11:07 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S i've mounted /dev/hda1 and taken a look at fstab , but dont know what the other place is | 11:08 |
| GSF1200S | yeah.. you can, but it should be fine,, nothing should modify fstab | 11:08 |
| GSF1200S | ecolitan.... | 11:08 |
| koshari | ecolitan that would be the mount placeholder | 11:08 |
| BigMack83 | in a bash script, how do i pull the current users username to use it in the script? | 11:08 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S ok then will reboot and see if the fsck did anything | 11:08 |
| GSF1200S | ive had issues because I formatted root but made a copy of xorg.conf and fstab- restored fstab abd | 11:08 |
| iceroot | GSF1200S: sorry, never tried that | 11:09 |
| GSF1200S | forgot to change uuid- boom.. kernel panic | 11:09 |
| GSF1200S | iceroot- cool, oh well, thanks | 11:09 |
| Dekko | GSF1200S: But both screens go black. I can switch back to X with CTRL-ALT-F7... but no text console. | 11:09 |
| GSF1200S | dekko- whats it doing exactly | 11:09 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S my worst so far was deleting the contents of /etc/group once | 11:09 |
| ecolitan | :P | 11:09 |
| GSF1200S | haha.. | 11:10 |
| GSF1200S | nice | 11:10 |
| Dekko | GSF1200S: If I use Twinview instead (stretch desktop) of separate X then I can go to Text Mode Prompt (Console) ..... | 11:10 |
| ecolitan | still panicky | 11:10 |
| GSF1200S | ive done all sorts of crazy studd | 11:10 |
| GSF1200S | stuff* | 11:10 |
| Dekko | Good thing Norton Ghost (latest version) can back up Linux systems fully. :) | 11:11 |
| GSF1200S | hmmm... dekko- give me a few so i can help ecolitan | 11:11 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S when i interupt grub it still can boot into the previous kernel ok | 11:11 |
| Dekko | GSF1200S: No problem. I'll have my cup of tea in the meanwhile.... | 11:11 |
| GSF1200S | ecolitan, ahhh... | 11:11 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S perhaps I can just clean out the half done install and start again | 11:12 |
| GSF1200S | hold on.. check this out | 11:12 |
| ecolitan | upgrade not install | 11:12 |
| GSF1200S | hmmm | 11:12 |
| GSF1200S | im not sure whether it stores the kernel logs for both kernels | 11:13 |
| GSF1200S | i was going to say jump in the working kernel or a live cd and check /var/log/messages and or /var/log/kernel | 11:13 |
| GSF1200S | maybe that will tell you something beyond the panic message.. maybe not | 11:13 |
| GSF1200S | however, you could delete the new kernel and try again- maybe force apt to only upgrade the kernel and headers | 11:14 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S taking a look | 11:14 |
| GSF1200S | and go from there | 11:14 |
| GSF1200S | im gonna help dekko for a sec, so hold on | 11:14 |
| error404notfound | i have installed xserver-xorg on JeOS. How can i start x? seems like startx is not a command | 11:14 |
| Dekko | GSF1200: I'm back now :) | 11:17 |
| HypothesisFrog | hi. Do you know any howtos on how to set up a server, and direct a domain name to it? | 11:17 |
| GSF1200S | dekko- im on kernel 2.6.30 with gnome running on arch linux with nvidia cards, and my second screen shuts off, while the first one is lit, but is blank | 11:17 |
| Cryptorchild | HypothesisFrog: that's a long way journey.. | 11:17 |
| aeiou | how do you reorder iptables rules? | 11:17 |
| HypothesisFrog | Cryptorchild steep learning curve? | 11:18 |
| trothigar | HypothesisFrog, not especially, domain setup is quite easy | 11:18 |
| jbk` | When I want to start a bash script or anything start-able in mc/terminal, I get an error message that "bash: command x not found" | 11:18 |
| GSF1200S | im running 2 nvidia 9800gtx cards going to seperate x sessions... | 11:18 |
| HypothesisFrog | trothigar how's it done? | 11:18 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ mount; /dev/sda5 on /home/detlef/detlef2.' Why does '~$ sudo fuser /home/detlef/detlef2' produce no output? | 11:18 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S nothing in the logs | 11:18 |
| jbk` | have I accidentaly changed anything? I'm kinda RAAAGE, since I can see folders when I do a little bit of them and then press tab, but it doesn't care about start-able files at all | 11:19 |
| Cryptorchild | HypothesisFrog: ah :) perhaps trothigar can help you | 11:19 |
| GSF1200S | now im curious... I usually kill X or use a terminal, but that is pretty gay.. | 11:19 |
| Dekko | GSF1200: That is what I am getting too I think. One screen goes dead the other stays on but blank (black screen) | 11:19 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S i think i'll backup the /home partition and reinstall from start----thanks heaps for the advice tho | 11:19 |
| GSF1200S | yeah, and its not ubuntu because im on arch | 11:19 |
| Dekko | GSF1200: I am on a Geforce 9600GT card with 2.6.28-14 kernel... | 11:19 |
| GSF1200S | ecolitan | 11:19 |
| Spikemcc | i need a decent app for my minimal ubuntu ... got ideas ? | 11:20 |
| trothigar | Cryptorchild, HypothesisFrog will do | 11:20 |
| GSF1200S | you know you can setup a seperate /home right? | 11:20 |
| Dekko | And the latest Nvidia drivers from Nvidia directly not from ubuntu repository. | 11:20 |
| gCg | Hello, i have a quick question. I am using UNR right now but i need to install kernel-2.6.30. can anyone point a healty way to install a new kernel | 11:20 |
| GSF1200S | then you wouldnt need to backup anymore if shit like this happens | 11:20 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S alread have /home on a seperate partition | 11:20 |
| GSF1200S | cool.. should be easy | 11:20 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S i just have fear from blowing away by accident :P | 11:21 |
| GSF1200S | sorry i couldnt help you :( | 11:21 |
| GSF1200S | haha, yeah | 11:21 |
| GSF1200S | dekko... lemme dig a little and see what i can find | 11:21 |
| GSF1200S | this is an X/nvidia gripe | 11:21 |
| ecolitan | GSF1200S it's all good, i dont have time for more troubleshooting anyway, have to go to schoo | 11:21 |
| Dekko | ecolitan: Linux has no safety rails like that.... need to stay with Windows or OS X in that case. I run all three on this system :D | 11:21 |
| GSF1200S | your on ubuntu and im on arch with a different kernel... | 11:21 |
| Spikemcc | got ideas for my minimal ubuntu ? openbox or LXDE , decent softwares ... | 11:22 |
| GSF1200S | ecolitan- out of the navy in 7 days and going to school- I know what you mean! | 11:22 |
| ecolitan | bye all | 11:22 |
| GSF1200S | bye | 11:22 |
| Dekko | Bye! | 11:22 |
| linduxed | if powertop tells me that i should enable USB autosuspend, will that have any implications? | 11:22 |
| GSF1200S | were both too late | 11:22 |
| Dekko | ha ha :) | 11:23 |
| GSF1200S | ok hold on dekko | 11:23 |
| Dekko | I'm holding on for dear life here :D :D | 11:23 |
| Dekko | Its not a BIG DEAL with the graphics card, but ANNOYING :-P | 11:23 |
| Dekko | feels like a definite bug to me. | 11:23 |
| Spikemcc | lxde or openbox ? or you have another idea for me ? | 11:23 |
| Kingsy101 | hey guys, just a quick question, I have just taken out my HD from my linux pc put it into my windows machine (it detects in the bios fine) but doesnt show up in windows.. is this a windows issue or what? i.e is it possible to read a linux HD in windows ? | 11:24 |
| GSF1200S | hello? | 11:25 |
| GSF1200S | i just got kicked or something.. xchat crashed like twice | 11:25 |
| Dekko | hello :) | 11:25 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: possible, yes.. but you have to install third party drivers | 11:25 |
| richardcavell | Anyone here able to run games under wine well? Can you send me your xorg.conf files? I think I need to tweak mine | 11:25 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: there are drivers available for ext2 and perhaps ext3 | 11:25 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - well I am on my windows PC atm with my HD plugged in what should I install ? | 11:25 |
| Kingsy101 | I think my HD is ext3 | 11:26 |
| Spikemcc | Kingsy101 if it's ext2 or 3 there an application for that ... | 11:26 |
| GammaX | anyone have experience using pppoe? im having trouble. | 11:26 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: ok, one sec | 11:26 |
| Spikemcc | ext4 no hope for ya man | 11:26 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: have a look at this http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 11:26 |
| Spikemcc | else ? even worse ... | 11:26 |
| or4n9e | I found out that changing the root passwd, i.e. setting it in persistent liveusb mode isn't possible | 11:26 |
| or4n9e | wtf? this is a serious bug, isn't it? | 11:27 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - thats ext2 isnt it ? | 11:27 |
| or4n9e | anyidea how to fix that? is it locked or something | 11:27 |
| Slart | or4n9e: well.. there's this whole thing with root passwords and so on with ubuntu | 11:27 |
| Spikemcc | richardcavell linux gaming is a hope I left a long time ago ... | 11:27 |
| Slart | !root | or4n9e | 11:27 |
| ubottu | or4n9e: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:27 |
| or4n9e | /etc/shadow gets updated but the system ignores it | 11:27 |
| bullgard4 | GammaX: Please put a more specific question in this channel. | 11:27 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: ext3 is compatible with ext2.. you should be able to read the info from it at least | 11:27 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: I've given up many times but I keep coming back to it | 11:28 |
| or4n9e | Slart, I know this. anyway it needs to be possible to set it if desired | 11:28 |
| kraut | moin | 11:28 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - thanks | 11:28 |
| Slart | or4n9e: I'm not sure there "needs" to be a way to set it, no | 11:28 |
| or4n9e | Slart, ? | 11:28 |
| Spikemcc | richardcavell for opengl games it's real decent, otherwise old directx games also but it seem sluggish for me ... | 11:28 |
| or4n9e | ups sorry | 11:28 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: At least wine is working on 3D support | 11:29 |
| GammaX | Anyone install pppoe, I installed it and when configuring it says Oh, dear, I don't see the file '/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf' anywhere. Please | 11:29 |
| GammaX | re-install the PPPoE client. | 11:29 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: I just got my tax return so I might as well upgrade my internal hard disk, put Windows on it, and be proud of it | 11:29 |
| Slart | or4n9e: but I don't think it's a designed feature of a persistent usb install.. | 11:29 |
| ibrar | While installing my usb modem I am getting error | 11:29 |
| ibrar | FATAL: Module usbserial not found. | 11:29 |
| or4n9e | Slart, come on. that's urgently needed imho. I mean ubuntu can go the road to disable the root account but it NEEDS to be possible to activate it, even in liveusb | 11:29 |
| or4n9e | no issues with a hdd install | 11:30 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: that's silly | 11:30 |
| Slart | or4n9e: I don't see a reason for it | 11:30 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: why do you need to log in as root, ever? | 11:30 |
| or4n9e | richardcavell, what's silly? | 11:30 |
| Spikemcc | richardcavell 3d games work on wine ... frets on fire worked better than the linux version a while ago ... | 11:30 |
| ibrar | I am using 9.04 64bit | 11:30 |
| nathan7 | 0= | 11:30 |
| or4n9e | I won't login as root but I'd like to enable it. what's wrong with it | 11:30 |
| * nathan7 is using 9.10 =) | 11:30 | |
| nathan7 | or4n9e: root is a fixed name | 11:31 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: The guys on #winehq think it might be my driver support. The Intel GMA950 chipset support under Ubuntu is woeful. | 11:31 |
| or4n9e | imho you just try to hide a serious bug. nothing else. just my 2c | 11:31 |
| nathan7 | or4n9e: the first attack point for any cracker | 11:31 |
| nathan7 | or4n9e: Ahem, administrator account on windoze | 11:31 |
| Slart | or4n9e: noone is saying it's wrong.. but you don't *need* it | 11:31 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - that doesnt seem to work, in My computer it now has the local disk but when you try to view whats on it it asks if you wanna format it | 11:31 |
| nathan7 | or4n9e: Default: passwordless, allows remote logins on some setups (=0) | 11:31 |
| or4n9e | nathan7, read what I write please. I WON'T login as root | 11:31 |
| or4n9e | but I'd like to enable it | 11:31 |
| Slart | or4n9e: and as I said.. I doubt it's designed like that just for usb persistent installs.. it might be a bug, it might be a configuration issue.. I have no idea | 11:31 |
| nathan7 | or4n9e: Yes, but it's also so OTHERS won't do it | 11:32 |
| Spikemcc | richardcavell on linux try to have a nvidia graphic card ... | 11:32 |
| nathan7 | or4n9e: Crackers | 11:32 |
| or4n9e | to be able to use sudo su - WITH password | 11:32 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: see my msg | 11:32 |
| nathan7 | Su as root is passwordless | 11:32 |
| wWales | how do i disable the prompt on close window with an unread message in pidgin? | 11:32 |
| Spikemcc | logitech webcam work well also | 11:32 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: yeah but I have a laptop so can't upgrade it. The GMA950 chipset is rather common though. | 11:32 |
| nathan7 | Boohbah: I misread your nick for boobie xD | 11:32 |
| nathan7 | richardcavell: D= | 11:32 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: hmm.. did you reboot? | 11:32 |
| Kingsy101 | nope.. 1 sec I will try that | 11:33 |
| nathan7 | At some point in the future, I'm going to build my own laptop | 11:33 |
| pady | I want to install hunspell from source but it is giving error on make install | 11:33 |
| pady | the error is : make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 11:33 |
| pady | Please guide me what to do | 11:33 |
| Slart | pady: have you read the instructions in INSTALL or README? | 11:33 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: I might even buy a cheap-ass desktop for games | 11:34 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: all my favourite games are ten years old... Half-Life 1, Counter-Strike, Deus Ex | 11:34 |
| pady | yes | 11:34 |
| richardcavell | A $50 graphics card will do me | 11:34 |
| Spikemcc | yeah but Intel and Ati are mostly threaths to the linux desktop use ... I have one of theses Ati and if I could change it, I would make a youtube video about how to destroy an ati video card !!! | 11:34 |
| cube|hospital | hey guys | 11:34 |
| cube|hospital | there is a lot of crap starting up when i boot | 11:34 |
| Slart | pady: ./configure, make, sudo make install is the normal way ie the way most source code is compiled.. but it's far from the only way.. there are other systems, ways and so on.. you need to read the incuded instructions when you compile source code | 11:34 |
| cube|hospital | like i tried out the sendmail package onece | 11:34 |
| or4n9e | so, sorry for being harsh but I dislike to be treated like a newbie, does anyone have a serious recommendation how to fix an obvious bug | 11:35 |
| Digit0 | hello | 11:35 |
| or4n9e | a bug that's btw known since 2005 - look in launchpad | 11:35 |
| Spikemcc | old p3 or p4, 1 Go ram, nvidia 128 Mo graph card ... maybe & | 11:35 |
| cube|hospital | i installed sendmail, and not MTA (mail transfer agent) is starting up like 10 seconds every time i boot. even thoguh i removed package sendmail. any ideasß | 11:35 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: are you trolling? | 11:35 |
| Digit0 | anyone has been able to activate the flash plugin in chrome ?? | 11:35 |
| or4n9e | richardcavell, nope, I'm serious | 11:35 |
| trothigar | Digit0, are you on 32 bit? | 11:35 |
| Digit0 | yes | 11:36 |
| Slart | or4n9e: I just think people reacted to the phrase "linux needs to have a root password".. I have no idea why it doesn't work on your usb install | 11:36 |
| trothigar | Digit0, and with chromium not chrome? | 11:36 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Special%20notes%20on%20sudo%20and%20shells | 11:36 |
| Digit0 | trothigar, nope, chrome | 11:36 |
| trothigar | Digit0, i don't believe its supported at this time | 11:36 |
| richardcavell | any word on Google Chrome, by the way, for Linux? And whether it's better than Firefox? | 11:36 |
| Spikemcc | or4n9e there is bugs in windows for eternity, don't mess with littles bugs on linux ... | 11:36 |
| Digit0 | richardcavell, sure it's faster | 11:36 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: can you link that bug again please? | 11:37 |
| trothigar | Digit0, you can get flash in chromium however | 11:37 |
| richardcavell | Digit0: Firefox is not exactly slow. If you're surfing around everyday websites, what difference does render speed make? | 11:37 |
| Spikemcc | I was installing windows 98 without password, without cracks and stuff like that | 11:37 |
| MidnightDevil | heya :) after a kernel update, if it works nice, can i remove the previous ones through synaptic ? | 11:37 |
| Digit0 | trothigar, well, I just received an update of chrome and it says: Plugins (e.g. Flash) are partway implemented and will cause frequent crashes. Use --enable-plugins to turn them on if you're ok with that; the browser is otherwise quite stable | 11:37 |
| richardcavell | Digit0: Netscape on my Pentium 2 - 333 MHz was fast enough for me | 11:37 |
| csaba_ | hello | 11:37 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, sure. wait a sec. it's somewhat related with xscreensaver but imho the very same reason | 11:37 |
| csaba_ | can someone help me a bit with samba? | 11:37 |
| cube|hospital | i installed sendmail, and not MTA (mail transfer agent) is starting up like 10 seconds every time i boot. even thoguh i removed package sendmail. any ideas? | 11:38 |
| richardcavell | MidnightDevil: Yes you can | 11:38 |
| Spikemcc | Digit0 try flock instead of firefox, it's way different you should like | 11:38 |
| Digit0 | richardcavell, use whatever you prefer :). For the laptop I use firefox but in the netbook chrome is much more responsive | 11:38 |
| cube|hospital | i installed sendmail, and now MTA (mail transfer agent) is starting up like 10 seconds every time i boot. even thoguh i removed package sendmail. any ideas? | 11:38 |
| om26er | !karmic | 11:38 |
| ubottu | Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 11:38 |
| Boohbah | cube|hospital: sudo update-rc.d -f sendmail remove | 11:39 |
| MidnightDevil | tks richardcavell :) | 11:39 |
| richardcavell | Digit0: I like Firefox because it's cross platform. I use Windows, OS X and Ubuntu | 11:39 |
| [nrx] | Karmic WILL break? What the hell does that mean? | 11:39 |
| richardcavell | MidnightDevil: be prepared to reinstall if something breaks | 11:39 |
| Digit0 | richardcavell, chrome will be cross platform soon | 11:39 |
| Slart | [nrx]: there will be bugs and changes that will break things | 11:39 |
| jr200747|away | hello every1 | 11:39 |
| cube|hospital | Boohbah: oh. and thats the rc.d part for? | 11:39 |
| Boohbah | [nrx]: it's alpha software... it will break | 11:39 |
| [nrx] | ta | 11:39 |
| Digit0 | I prefer firefox as well, but for netbooks chrome is lighter | 11:39 |
| === jr200747|away is now known as jr200747 | ||
| cube|hospital | Digit0: but it wont be open source, just like firefox is | 11:39 |
| richardcavell | Digit0: if Google are serious about creating a rival OS, then Chrome will be the thin end of that wedge | 11:39 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, you dont get the question. HOW to become root is obvious. I'm using linux for 10 years. the problem is... it's not possible to set its passwd | 11:40 |
| Spikemcc | Digit0 and richardcavell time to try flock for both of you, it does all what you said and it's lighter than firefox | 11:40 |
| Boohbah | cube|hospital: rc.d is the directory where your system startup scripts exist, update-rc.d is the tool for modifying their runlevels | 11:40 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: Chrome also reckon that they're focussing on stability and security | 11:40 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: that's worth a lot | 11:40 |
| richardcavell | Spikemcc: Firefox has a ton of bugs | 11:40 |
| Digit0 | cube|hospital, afaik chrome is open source minus the "google" trademarks and logo | 11:40 |
| cube|hospital | Boohbah: aah. ok. thanks. and, is there any way to manually take a look at start up things? i know about the perferences -> session, but not all of them appear to be there | 11:41 |
| Digit0 | that's why you can do something totally FOSS easily (chromium) | 11:41 |
| cube|hospital | Digit0: it also doesnt have as many plugins, isnt that popular, is pretty new, and its google to it has as much privacy as much linux belongs to bill gates | 11:42 |
| jr200747 | how do u install TCL 8.4 on ubuntu?? | 11:42 |
| DPic | ...how the hell is Jokosher supposed to be pronounced! | 11:42 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: 'sudo passwd root' not work for you? | 11:42 |
| Slart | DPic: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:42 |
| Boohbah | DPic: joe-ko-sure | 11:42 |
| MidnightDevil | how can i with irssi open another "server" tab ? | 11:43 |
| Slart | jr200747: there isn't a package for it? | 11:43 |
| [nrx] | Joe-Ko-Cher | 11:43 |
| [nrx] | ;) | 11:43 |
| DPic | Boohbah, thanks, and i love your IRC handle | 11:43 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, nope | 11:43 |
| or4n9e | it outputs "changed succesfully" | 11:43 |
| or4n9e | /etc/shadow gets changed | 11:43 |
| or4n9e | BUT it does not work | 11:43 |
| or4n9e | I stated this ten times now :D | 11:43 |
| jr200747 | how do u install TCL 8.4 on ubuntu?? | 11:44 |
| doktoreas | hello folks..is there a way for checking the option used to start a running process? | 11:44 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: what do you mean it does not work? | 11:44 |
| om26er | but the download server is very slow i am getting 30kb/s | 11:44 |
| Slart | doktoreas: ps might be able to tell you the command line | 11:44 |
| xlq | There is a libvorbisfile3 but no libvorbisfile3-dev package! | 11:44 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: have you re logged in? | 11:44 |
| Slart | doktoreas: or htop/top | 11:44 |
| richardcavell | om26er: I wish I could get 30 kilobytes/second | 11:45 |
| jr200747 | how do u install TCL 8.4 on ubuntu?? | 11:45 |
| Slart | !repeat | jr200747 | 11:45 |
| jr200747 | can anyone help plz | 11:45 |
| ubottu | jr200747: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 11:45 |
| jr200747 | ok sry and thnx ubottu | 11:45 |
| bazhang | jr200747, sudo apt-get install tcl | 11:45 |
| om26er | richardcavell: wha that mean | 11:45 |
| pady | Slart, I had read and follow that instruction, still it is giving the same error | 11:45 |
| richardcavell | om26er: count yourself lucky | 11:46 |
| xlq | oh, it's libvorbis-dev | 11:46 |
| xlq | never mind me :) | 11:46 |
| or4n9e | richardcavell, the system ignores the change | 11:46 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: i'm curious about your issue.. what version of ubuntu? this is a liveusb? i want to try to reproduce it | 11:46 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: have you rebooted or not? | 11:46 |
| Slart | pady: can you pastebin what happens when you run ./configure make sudo make install? including the commands | 11:46 |
| or4n9e | logout in console mode doesn't give a login prompt neither do a reboot | 11:46 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, liveusb intrepid | 11:47 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - hmm a re-boot didnt help | 11:47 |
| Kingsy101 | any other ideas ? | 11:47 |
| om26er | richardcavell: i was in the karmic channel and by mistake typed it here. by the way i downloaded jaunty at a much faster rate | 11:47 |
| or4n9e | same for jaunty... found it reported at ubuntusers.de | 11:47 |
| kandjar | hi there, how can I force a cluster check at boot time with ubuntu 9.04? | 11:47 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - it still just asks if I wanna format | 11:47 |
| or4n9e | richardcavell, as I said I also rebooted | 11:47 |
| cube|hospital | Digit0: it also doesnt have as many plugins, isnt that popular, is pretty new, and its google to it has as much privacy as much linux belongs to bill gates | 11:48 |
| cube|hospital | Digit0: it also doesnt have as many plugins, isnt that popular, is pretty new, and its google to it has as much privacy as much linux belongs to bill gates | 11:48 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: hmm... not really.. you can try this utility instead.. it's not as integrated as the other one.. but it might work better http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs-install | 11:48 |
| cube|hospital | oops | 11:48 |
| pady | ok | 11:48 |
| Slart | !pastebin | pady | 11:48 |
| ubottu | pady: 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 | 11:48 |
| Digit0 | yes yes, but you can use chromium | 11:48 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: sudo touch /forcefsk should do it | 11:48 |
| kandjar | touch /forcefsk just do a std checks, it doens't analyze the clusters... | 11:49 |
| kandjar | unless I'm missing something | 11:49 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - that works great.. thanks :))))) | 11:49 |
| Slart | cube|hospital, Digit0: I think #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better channel for firefox vs chromium discussion | 11:49 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - I appriaciate that | 11:49 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img ? | 11:49 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: let Boobah try to reproduce your symptoms | 11:49 |
| Slart | kandjar: ahh.. that might be true.. not sure how to add switches to that... boot from a live cd? | 11:50 |
| or4n9e | richardcavell, you need this to believe I'm not a troll? | 11:50 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: is that the right image? i'm downloading it now | 11:51 |
| or4n9e | serious I don't wanna be disrespectful but some folks do not take me serious and that's not ok imho | 11:51 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: no | 11:51 |
| joaopinto | kandjar, if you mean a surface scan, you want to use badblocks | 11:51 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - its possible with that program tho to copy files from the linux HD to the windows one right ? | 11:51 |
| richardcavell | or4n9e: I'm just saying we should reproduce what you're talking about to understand what's going on | 11:51 |
| mumbuman | hey all | 11:51 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: yes | 11:51 |
| kandjar | joaopinto: yeah i meant surface scan | 11:52 |
| or4n9e | I know what I'm talking about, confront you guys with a verified and serious issue and all you do is asking if I'm trolling. next will be a kick maybe for at least a valid question | 11:52 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: i am taking you seriously, i know it's possible to do what you're trying to do because i have done it | 11:52 |
| or4n9e | richardcavell, ok sorry | 11:52 |
| or4n9e | IC your point | 11:52 |
| joaopinto | kandjar, man badblocks | 11:52 |
| Kingsy101 | Slart - heh how ? I cant get it to work | 11:52 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: is http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img the image you're using? | 11:52 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, it's definitely possible in a hdd install but in liveusb it does not work | 11:52 |
| kandjar | joaopinto: thx ill check that now | 11:52 |
| Slart | Kingsy101: it doesn't show you a explorer like window where you can see the files on your linux drive? | 11:53 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: which is why i want to confirm exactly which liveusb image you're using | 11:53 |
| Kingsy101 | oh oh 1 sec :) | 11:53 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, nope. I created my own liveusb by rsyncing the livecd to usb, install grub and create a seperate casper-rw ext2 for persistent storage | 11:53 |
| doktoreas | Slart: can't find a way with ps :( | 11:54 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, I use the liveCD | 11:54 |
| [nrx] | or4n9e, interesting. I've been trying to do the same thing today and I just get nowhere. | 11:54 |
| kandjar | I guess a badblock -sv /sda1 should do it :) | 11:54 |
| Slart | doktoreas: ok, hang on.. let me check | 11:54 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: ok, which livecd is it? i'm looking at http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ | 11:54 |
| or4n9e | [nrx], the label of the persistence overlay is important | 11:54 |
| cocioi | hi all | 11:54 |
| or4n9e | it needs to be casper-rw | 11:54 |
| [nrx] | or4n9e, I don't even get that far - I can't get it to boot :) | 11:54 |
| doktoreas | Slart: thx mate | 11:54 |
| cocioi | who can help me? | 11:55 |
| bazhang | cocioi, need a question | 11:55 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, standard intrepid x86 | 11:55 |
| [nrx] | !ask | 11:55 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 11:55 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: if it's a problem with the ubuntu image it will also be present in the livecd | 11:55 |
| cocioi | i can't connect my PC to wireless network | 11:55 |
| pady | Slart, Config will giving error here is the config.log file I had pasted : http://paste.ubuntu.com/226900/ | 11:55 |
| doktoreas | Slart: It's ok thx | 11:55 |
| bazhang | cocioi, what version of ubuntu, what wireless card, what have you tried | 11:55 |
| doktoreas | ps -f -p PID | 11:55 |
| cocioi | ubuntu 8.10 | 11:55 |
| Boohbah | or4n9e: ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso ? | 11:56 |
| cocioi | i used backtrack 4 | 11:56 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, aligned. in the end it's not important what image you use. everything is intrepid and I myself assume it's a bug (or maybe even a "feature") of casper | 11:56 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, yes | 11:56 |
| bazhang | cocioi, #remote-exploit for that | 11:56 |
| cocioi | yes | 11:56 |
| Yanick_ | hi, I have found the problem with the tomcat6 installation. The file /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar is not created by the package | 11:56 |
| Slart | doktoreas: ah.. good | 11:56 |
| bazhang | cocioi, BT is not supported here | 11:56 |
| Slart | pady: ok, I'll have a look | 11:56 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, modded slightly to be able to use grub instead of syslinux | 11:56 |
| cocioi | yes. | 11:57 |
| nannes | hi all! | 11:57 |
| bazhang | cocioi, /join #remote-exploit | 11:57 |
| cocioi | ok | 11:57 |
| cocioi | thanks bazhang | 11:57 |
| Slart | pady: run this "sudo apt-get install build-essential", then try again | 11:57 |
| Yanick_ | actually, bootstrap.jar is never created whatsoever, and does not exist anywhere on the file system | 11:57 |
| jr200747 | when i installed tcl its not registering to the system | 11:57 |
| jado | hi, sometimes i can't browse anymore even though i'm still connected; it seems that the DNS is not functionnal since i can't ping www.google.com; does someone have an idea? | 11:57 |
| bazhang | jr200747, installed how | 11:57 |
| pady | Slart, ok | 11:57 |
| Slart | pady: in some cases ./configure actually creates the make files so if configure fails there might not be a make install rule | 11:57 |
| Slart | "in some cases" might also be "in all cases" | 11:58 |
| or4n9e | I think I'll now download casper source and ivestigate this | 11:58 |
| jr200747 | bazhang pm plz | 11:58 |
| or4n9e | try to rebuild the iso and see where I get | 11:58 |
| bazhang | jr200747, let's keep it here, more eyes to solve the problem | 11:58 |
| jr200747 | o ok | 11:58 |
| kandjar | thx joaopinto, it seems to be working :-) | 11:58 |
| jr200747 | i did wut u told me to do m8 | 11:58 |
| pady | Slart, Thanks | 11:58 |
| Slart | pady: it works now? | 11:59 |
| Spikemcc | hi all, I need all decent guides and tutorials for hardy to make my ubuntu minimal cd setup script ... got ideas ??? | 11:59 |
| pady | yes | 11:59 |
| or4n9e | Boohbah, thanks for taking the time to find out | 11:59 |
| kandjar | Slart: thanks too :) | 11:59 |

| Slart | pady: I have no idea why it does that.. | 12:02 |

| jr200747 | eggdrop bot for irc | 12:03 |
| xlq | Yanick_: it sounds like you removed, but didn't purge, tomcat6 | 12:03 |
| Yanick_ | xlq, removed, reinstalled, purged, cleaned.... installed again... several times | 12:03 |
| bazhang | Yanick_, all 6 tomcat 6 packages from repos? | 12:03 |
| bazhang | jr200747, similar to ubottu? | 12:03 |
| Yanick_ | bazhang, I'm doing sudo apt-get install tomcat6 | 12:04 |
| jr200747 | dont kno m8 | 12:04 |
| jr200747 | never heard of it | 12:04 |
| Yanick_ | bazhang, it should include all required packages.... no? | 12:04 |
| bazhang | Yanick_, there should be 6 packages you install | 12:04 |
| bazhang | !botclone | jr200747 | 12:04 |
| xlq | Where's ubottu gone? | 12:04 |
| bazhang | whoops | 12:04 |
| bazhang | xlq, being restarted, I forgot | 12:05 |
| Yanick_ | bazhang, which are...? | 12:05 |
| Yanick_ | bazhang, because apt-get only mentioned three | 12:05 |

| jr200747 | o ok m8 | 12:08 |
| Yanick_ | bazhang, well... I do not know which package had bootstrap.jar, but installing all of them did the trick. Thanks! BTW : simply installing tomcat6 should install all the required files... there's clearly a dependency issue here | 12:08 |
| aaronvarghese | xlq | 12:08 |
| bazhang | Yanick_, seems so, glad you got it | 12:08 |
| aaronvarghese | ru redy to answer my question | 12:08 |
| xlq | aaronvarghese: is this on a local network? You can use tightvnc. | 12:08 |
| xlq | aaronvarghese: I find tightvnc to be very slow over the Internet though. | 12:08 |
| bazhang | aaronvarghese, please use real English | 12:08 |
| Slart | aaronvarghese: and just ask your question, there is no queue system. | 12:09 |

| Cyber_Akuma | I used to have 3 primary and 4 logical, now I have 1 primary and 4 logical | 12:21 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Anyway, so when I use fdisk to renumber them, does ubuntu by default start with sda0 or sda1? | 12:22 |
| sash_ | Cy-4-: | 12:23 |
| sash_ | Cyber_Akuma: there is no sda0 | 12:23 |
| Cyber_Akuma | thanks | 12:23 |
| pady | bazhang, can you help me ? | 12:23 |
| mzuverink | is their a way to take my 32bit installation and convert it to 64, or do I just need to reinstall? | 12:23 |
| Wildcard77 | mzuverink: reinstall | 12:24 |
| bazhang | pady, you are trying to compile your own hunspell with custom definitions? | 12:24 |
| NET||abuse | mzuverink, you could do it, but you'd end up on the funny farm i would say,,, | 12:24 |
| mzuverink | OK peeps, thanks for that | 12:24 |
| Wildcard77 | yw | 12:24 |
| pady | bazhang, Currently I am facing problem withoud any modification in the code | 12:24 |
| oskar- | psyshush: use swapoff to make the swap space unused, then you can use a partitioning tool to delete the partition | 12:25 |
| uknow | i dont think my video chip is installed right its a sis mirage 3 771/671 when i boot up my loog on screen is un supported | 12:25 |
| Cyber_Akuma | hmmm, fdisk x f didn't seem to do anything | 12:25 |
| jumbers | I'm convinced that there's something wrong with my wireless drivers or settings, or something. When I have this computer on wireless, it seems to take FOREVER to resolve any DNS. Any other computer on the network goes quick and also if I plug this computer directly into a router, it will also be fast. Is there something I can do to fix this? | 12:25 |
| uknow | i can type in user pass and name then enter and boot up the desktop tho | 12:25 |
| psyshush | oskar: thanks. do I need to change any config files are well? | 12:25 |
| qe2eqe | When does a new Xorg.0.log get created? | 12:26 |
| mzuverink | another issue, my ipod touch, it registers when connected, but none of the apps allow communication with it or even browsing the contents of the itouch, any suggestions besides stop buying proprietary hardware devices? | 12:26 |
| Leoneof | hiiii, i installed USB Wireless ^_^ | 12:26 |
| Cyber_Akuma | it just said done, didnt ask me to renumber anything | 12:26 |
| oskar- | psyshush: if you swap partition is referred in /etc/fstab, the entry should be deleted there | 12:26 |
| Ileden | I'm trying to get my Radeon 9200 to work with 3d support by following the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver, but while display is otherwise ok, there's no 3d support. My Xorg.0.log has only one error, which reads "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". I'm wondering why "NVidia", since I have a Radeon card - my previous card was NVidia. Could this point to the source of my problem? Any idea on how to pr | 12:26 |
| psyshush | oskar: thanks | 12:27 |
| theoraforever | I'm having some trouble with one of my Ubuntu desktops. A minute or so after boot,all forms of input stop working, and caps/num/scroll lock lights on the keyboard start flashing. Any ideas? | 12:27 |
| oskar- | psyshush: be very careful when manipulation the partition table... make a backup before, as mistakes can happen easily | 12:27 |
| qe2eqe | theoraforever, is it a usb keyboard? =/ | 12:28 |
| cute_bettong | i was wondering if anyone used empathy messenger, and could help me with some things | 12:28 |
| snowdonx | hi | 12:28 |
| snowdonx | hello? | 12:28 |
| cute_bettong | hi | 12:28 |
| qe2eqe | theoraforever, also, maybe try a knoppix CD to see if it's an ubuntu bug, or a hardware issue | 12:28 |
| mzuverink | snowdonx, hello | 12:29 |
| jumbers | !hi | snowdonx | 12:29 |
| ubottu | snowdonx: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 12:29 |
| theoraforever | No, but the mouse is. And 24 hours ago, it worked. | 12:29 |
| snowdonx | i got a question | 12:29 |
| jumbers | Just ask | 12:29 |
| snowdonx | wireless support what is it like for ubuntu | 12:29 |
| [nrx] | !ask | 12:29 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:29 |
| owltaser | mzuverick, you could try Amarok for your ipod, works for mine | 12:29 |
| snowdonx | !ask wireless support | 12:29 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:29 |
| magnetron | snowdonx: it's good. | 12:29 |
| theoraforever | And had for maybe a month. | 12:29 |
| snowdonx | is there a driver list anywhere? | 12:29 |
| snowdonx | !ask driverlist | 12:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask driverlist | 12:29 |
| Alvinware | Yo, Ubuntu have upgraded it version of Firefox. :-) | 12:29 |
| lstarnes | snowdonx: ! ask does nothing | 12:30 |
| snowdonx | i just figured that out | 12:30 |
| snowdonx | :) | 12:30 |
| magnetron | snowdonx: all supported drivers are included from start, you don't need to install drivers | 12:30 |
| mzuverink | snowdonx, I have 9 laptops with various hardware and i have never had an issue with wireless since Ubuntu's 2nd release | 12:30 |
| lstarnes | !wifi | snowdonx | 12:30 |
| magnetron | !hardware | snowdonx | 12:30 |
| ubottu | snowdonx: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 12:30 |
| ubottu | snowdonx: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 12:30 |
| snowdonx | so its just going to pick up my wireless laptop | 12:30 |
| jumbers | Pretty sure he's trying to find out which ones are supported | 12:30 |
| qe2eqe | snowdonx, you can poll the bot using /msg ubottu <msg> | 12:30 |
| ameed | Hello all , i would like to know and ask if am using Ubuntu on my laptop is there a way to create an ISO image off my Ubuntu OS and copy it to a CD instead of downloading a new ISO image from the Internet? | 12:30 |
| Wildcard77 | snowdonx, if you need drivers that aren't started with Ubuntu check out ndiskwrapper | 12:30 |
| tavi_ | hy | 12:31 |
| Slart | ameed: have a look at remastersys.. it might do what you want | 12:31 |
| mzuverink | snowdonx, what wireless hardware are you concerned about, make/manufacturer | 12:31 |
| snowdonx | wildcard what does that do | 12:31 |
| [nrx] | Wildcard77, snowdonx: he means 'ndiswrapper' lol | 12:31 |
| tavi_ | a html editor know someone? | 12:31 |
| qe2eqe | Wildcard77, I think you mean ndiswrapper? | 12:31 |
| snowdonx | mzuverink i think it will be supported | 12:31 |
| Wildcard77 | qe2eqe, yes sorry | 12:31 |
| * qe2eqe high-fives [nrx] | 12:31 | |
| [nrx] | ;D | 12:31 |
| mzuverink | snowdonx, just try the live cd and if it works out of the box it will be obvious | 12:31 |
| ameed | Slart: is it a program that runs on Ubuntu Already or should i Google it | 12:31 |
| snowdonx | Its an intel pro a/b/g 802.3 wireless | 12:32 |
| Wildcard77 | snowdonx, ndiswrapper assists with the install of drivers that aren't found by Ubuntu it's in apt. | 12:32 |
| theoraforever | I have run a livecd, and do not get this problem. But maybe two or three months ago, I had to reinstall Ubuntu because of this. | 12:32 |
| uknow_ | is there a driver scanner/udater for linux | 12:32 |
| theoraforever | Now,it's back. | 12:32 |
| Slart | ameed: http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html it might be available in the repos.. I'm not sure | 12:32 |
| magnetron | tavi_: bluefish screem kompozer quanta | 12:32 |
| bazhang | ameed, also uck | 12:32 |
| [nrx] | snowdonx, do as mzuverink has said - get the Live CD and boot with that. If Wireles works, you'll have no problems. | 12:32 |
| jumbers | Is there any way I can fix my DNS issues? | 12:32 |
| magnetron | uknow_: it's included from start, it's called "hardware drivers". simple! | 12:32 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, what's wrong? | 12:33 |
| snowdonx | hmm | 12:33 |
| snowdonx | might just do that | 12:33 |
| bazhang | !remaster | ameed | 12:33 |
| ubottu | ameed: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 12:33 |
| uknow_ | yeah iknow that | 12:33 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: I said it before, maybe you missed it | 12:33 |
| snowdonx | question do you have a doc on how i can test the wireless? | 12:33 |
| jumbers | I'm convinced that there's something wrong with my wireless drivers or settings, or something. When I have this computer on wireless, it seems to take FOREVER to resolve any DNS. Any other computer on the network goes quick and also if I plug this computer directly into a router, it will also be fast. Is there something I can do to fix this? | 12:33 |
| qe2eqe | uknow, theres a program called jockey that helps, but it depends on the hardware. | 12:33 |
| snowdonx | or would it be obvious enough that i just figure out via intuition? | 12:33 |
| sybariten | my apt or my sources.list isnt really feeling too well. here's a part of my error message, when trying to install or update: http://pastebin.ca/1504257 | 12:33 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, check /etc/resolv.conf | 12:33 |
| sybariten | any suggestions what i do first? | 12:33 |
| snowdonx | bearing in mind that i have very little linux experience | 12:33 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: It didn't get like this until I did an upgrade. It might have been the jump to Intrepid | 12:33 |
| sybariten | how can i for instance avoid using swedish sources? | 12:33 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, intel? 2200? 3945? which one | 12:34 |
| lstarnes | snowdonx: the usual way to test it is by attempting to use it | 12:34 |
| [nrx] | lstarnes, lol | 12:34 |
| snowdonx | not sure but its an acer 4234 WLMi Travelmate laptop | 12:34 |
| cute_bettong | i was wondering if anyone in here used empathy messenger | 12:34 |
| cute_bettong | if so could the im me so i can ask a few questions? | 12:34 |
| snowdonx | I purchased it over 2 years ago | 12:34 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, is ubuntu installed on there and running now? | 12:34 |
| uknow_ | thanks | 12:34 |
| snowdonx | nope | 12:34 |
| snowdonx | just looking into it for preparation | 12:34 |
| magnetron | cute_bettong: just ask the questions straight ahead, if anyone knows they'll answer | 12:34 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, nope to both? | 12:34 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: I have nameserver 172.16.145.103 which seems to resolve to blackhole1.iana.org | 12:35 |
| snowdonx | i watched the net compiz vid and that was 1 of my reasons for choosing | 12:35 |
| snowdonx | nope to the last question | 12:35 |
| ameed | Slart: can this also be done on CentOS ? i have a server with VICIDIAL Telemarketing Software and my internet is slow to download the ISO image again so can i use this command to create an ISO of it ? will it still include the software running on the system ? files and folders as well ? | 12:35 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: And then my router | 12:35 |
| snowdonx | to the first question see my info about the laptop | 12:35 |
| sybariten | or, if anyone has suggestions on quite specific google keywords for finding help on these apt errors (failed to fetch....) when the sources.list is perhaps old or somehintg | 12:35 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, get the live cd and test it out, also a lspci in terminal will tell you the model number | 12:35 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, check what you have when you're plugged in via eth and cross-ref that with your wireless conf. | 12:35 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, can always set it manually using gnomes connection manager, too | 12:35 |
| [nrx] | brb! | 12:35 |
| Slart | ameed: I have no idea how it does its thing.. have a look at the site, there might be more info there | 12:35 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, intel are generally quite good as far as wireless support | 12:36 |
| ameed | Slart: Thanks alot for your time and help , appreciate it. | 12:36 |
| Slart | ameed: you're welcome | 12:36 |
| Cyber_Akuma | That seems to have done it, thanks. I assume that sda1 refers to the disk and not any partition and thats why it starts with sda2? | 12:36 |
| snowdonx | bazhang: is the wireless fairly obvious that I would find it and be able to just use it without having to read to much? | 12:36 |
| snowdonx | bazhang: i don't mind reading but if i can figure out something intuitively i prefer that | 12:36 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, well, it would be nice to tell you more, but some support is kernel level, and other has drivers the 4965 I am not sure about | 12:37 |
| ghostknife | I am unable to resolve "za.archive.ubuntu.com", though it always worked. In fact, it worked for 4 packages and then stopped working, and hasn't worked since (about 10 minutes ago). Any ideas on how I can discover the IP to force it into my hosts file | 12:37 |
| snowdonx | when was that model released bazhang? | 12:37 |
| snowdonx | ghostknife is there a method of wiping the dnscahce "if there is any in linux"? | 12:38 |
| ghostknife | snowdonx: ?? | 12:38 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, in the same time frame as your notebook, may be the one; but yes it is quite intuitive in the recent ubuntu releases, and here and the forums can give pointers if you hit a bump | 12:38 |
| snowdonx | thanks for all the support everyone, love and peace must go, looking forward to trying it out :) | 12:39 |
| bazhang | ghostknife, why not choose a different mirror | 12:39 |
| lady_white | good afternoon everybody | 12:39 |

| secret | does anybody cna tell me how i can find a chat for crunchbang user? i have to resolve a desktop menu problem. i dont have it and i have no idea how to install it. it is the new version 9.04. on the old version, 8.10 it worked normally. | 12:40 |
| bazhang | student, #ubuntu-cn for Chinese | 12:40 |
| lady_white | what kind of differences there's between ubuntu desktop and alternate? | 12:40 |
| bazhang | student, English only here | 12:40 |
| Slart | !crunchbang | 12:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about crunchbang | 12:40 |
| Slart | !derivatives | 12:40 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) | 12:40 |
| ghostknife | bazhang: I'm doing that, but it's a huge download, and za mirror is truly blazingly fast here, because it's somewhere in the same data centre (100mb/s) | 12:40 |
| student | 我不會音文 | 12:40 |

| sybariten | i think i'm on gutsy, and i suspect its unsupported | 12:41 |
| Slart | !gutsy | 12:41 |

| Slart | sybariten: yup.. end of life was in april | 12:41 |
| ghostknife | bazhang: nm, found the IP ;> didn't even think of querying for the NS server upwards on the DN, which led me to the IP | 12:41 |
| Slart | sybariten: but you can change your repositories to .. I think it's old-releases.ubuntu.com | 12:42 |
| student | i喔 | 12:42 |
| Leoneof | hello, i downloaded nVidia driver , how to install it in Terminal, please? | 12:42 |
| student | ㄏ | 12:42 |
| Slart | sybariten: that way you can update or install software.. no bugfixes though | 12:42 |
| student | ????????????????????????????????? | 12:42 |
| bazhang | student, stop | 12:42 |
| Cyber_Akuma | So, now that my partitions are renumbered, I have two swap partitions, how do I tell Ubuntu to use one and not touch the other? | 12:42 |
| sybariten | Slart: ok, interesting... now, is that .... "country-un-specific" ? | 12:43 |
| oskar- | Cyber_Akuma: that can be set in /etc/fstab | 12:43 |
| Leoneof | please, how to install nVidia in Terminal? | 12:43 |
| secret | bazhang, can you tell me how do oyu mean that? | 12:43 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: Okay, I manually removed that nameserver entry from resolv.conf to see what would happen and now it's working perfectly. Problem is, it says don't edit the file because it's automatically generated. What would be causing it to add that nameserver? | 12:43 |
| bazhang | secret, let's chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:43 |
| Slart | sybariten: I think so, yes | 12:43 |
| snowdonx | bazhang: just wondering where do i get the live cd | 12:43 |
| secret | bazhang, how cn i change to there | 12:44 |
| DevilAsh | Hi everyone, I've got a bit of a graphics card problem. I checked lspci and then had a look at xorg.conf, and it looks like it's being handled by 'configured video device', which is just a generic identifier. So I apt-get installed EnvyNG so I could get the proper drivers, and it turns out the ATI drivers for ubuntu aren't recommended or compatible with ubuntu, what should I do from here, I'm a bit confused. | 12:44 |
| snowdonx | i can't find it on the website | 12:44 |
| Cyber_Akuma | time to google a fstab guide | 12:44 |
| sybariten | i do guess that i want to upgrade the release... if its possible with an apt command.... but i am at work now and need to remove some stuff from the machine so i cant do that right now and just need to install an app.... | 12:44 |
| Leoneof | please, how to install nVidia in Terminal? | 12:44 |
| Slart | !upgrade | sybariten | 12:44 |

| [nrx] | jumbers, whatever connection manage you're using :) | 12:44 |
| bazhang | snowdonx, the livecd/installer cd is at www.ubuntu.com | 12:44 |
| Slart | sybariten: but for an upgrade to work I think you need to have a working apt-mirror | 12:44 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, connection manager* | 12:44 |
| snowdonx | bazhang looked on the site but can't see the link for it | 12:44 |
| lstarnes | secret: also, #crunchbang | 12:44 |
| Slart | sybariten: so you'll need to change those repos anyways | 12:44 |
| snowdonx | bazhang is it called something different | 12:44 |
| lstarnes | Leoneof: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto ? | 12:45 |

| [nrx] | jumbers, you'll be able to set up the connection manually in the gnome manager so that it sets the correct nameservers each time that connection is used. | 12:46 |
| lstarnes | snowdonx: the current release is 9.04. 9.10 is an unstable, unsupported development release | 12:46 |

| sobersabre | lstarnes: I think any CPU above P3 should have thermal sensor. isn't it so ? | 12:52 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, you can set that individual conection to mbe manually configured. It's obviously getting duff data from the DHCP server | 12:52 |
| xbmc | could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies | 12:53 |
| lstarnes | sobersabre: you could try loading a program such as sensors from the lm-sensors package | 12:53 |
| sobersabre | lstarnes: is sensors working with some kind of its own kernel-space module, or what ? | 12:53 |
| maxagaz | does usb works with virtualbox-ose ? | 12:54 |
| Pici | maxagaz: No. | 12:54 |
| lstarnes | sobersabre: I don't think so | 12:55 |
| k3j0_ | hi all, how you have to edit the firehol.conf so that any http-traffic will be forwarded to another IP? I already looked in the docs... | 12:55 |
| troythetechguy | Recently installed 9.04. When entering vim at command line I'm informed "command not found". However, running 8.04 vim @ CLI would launch editor. Was vim in 8.04 a link to another editor, or was VIM installed in 8.04 and not in 9.04? | 12:55 |
| sobersabre | ok. | 12:55 |
| DevilAsh | Hi everyone, I've got a bit of a graphics card problem. I checked lspci and then had a look at xorg.conf, and it looks like it's being handled by 'configured video device', which is just a generic identifier. So I apt-get installed EnvyNG so I could get the proper drivers, and it turns out the ATI drivers for ubuntu aren't recommended or compatible with ubuntu, what should I do from here, I'm a bit confused. | 12:55 |
| xbmc | could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies | 12:55 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: I found the problem. There's an interface entry for ppp0 that has that nameserver, in the resolvconf directory. I commented it out and now it's generating it without that nameserver | 12:55 |
| Pici | maxagaz: The open source edition does not support USB, you'd need to install the non-ose edition from vbox's website if you wanted that. | 12:56 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, good :) | 12:56 |
| maxagaz | Pici, i'm looking for an open source solution for that | 12:56 |

| darkhamm | hi people, i've this http://pastebin.com/m7d6e3ea8 with ffmpeg, can you help me? | 13:01 |
| === allas is now known as orbit____ | ||
| trothigar | darkhamm, you don't have the relevant codec installed i believe | 13:02 |
| liri | lorenzosu: I know, but I want to remove the trash can itself (I don't want files deleted without SHIFT+DEL to go there) | 13:02 |
| michelem | hello folks | 13:03 |
| xbmc | could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies | 13:03 |
| lorenzosu | liri: May I ask why. Having the trash can is usually a good option. | 13:03 |
| darkhamm | trothigar: i installed the amrnb package, but nothing... | 13:03 |
| trothigar | darkhamm, alternatly you might need to recompile ffmpeg to support amrnb | 13:04 |
| oskar- | supermouse: is the account locked or its login shell invalid? | 13:04 |
| michelem | I added the backports source to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foo . apt-update does not fetch its databases though. "apt-config dump" shows sources.list.d in Dirs::Etc::parts . Is there any other conf needed? | 13:04 |
| magnetron | darkhamm: hi, you need the ffmpeg package from the medibuntu repos. add the medibuntu repos and you should be fine. follow the instruction from ubotu | 13:04 |
| supermouse | It's login shell is /sbin/nologin | 13:04 |
| liri | lorenzosu: I just don't need it | 13:04 |
| magnetron | !medibuntu | darkhamm | 13:04 |
| ubottu | darkhamm: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 13:04 |
| darkhamm | magnetron: ok i try | 13:04 |
| oskar- | supermouse: set it to a valid shell, for example /bin/bash | 13:04 |
| supermouse | Bu then that user can login vai the console.. | 13:05 |
| supermouse | the apace user ash the same shell | 13:05 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: I THINK I know what happened. I use a program to tether to my BlackBerry sometimes. It seems like what happened was it must have terminated and not had a chance to clean up its files, so it left behind a remnant saying to use 172.16.whatever, which is a "blackhole", but also used sometimes for internal network | 13:06 |
| oskar- | supermouse: su -s /bin/bash -c .... | 13:06 |
| hansolo669 | ! | 13:07 |
| liri | lorenzosu: strikes me odd that such a thing isn't confiurable | 13:07 |

| hansolo669 | !hello | 13:07 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:07 |
| Syrioth | hello | 13:07 |
| jumbers | supermouse: Why are you trying to login as the apache user? | 13:07 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, as long as it's all working now, not to worry :) | 13:07 |
| Syrioth | i'm new to ubuntu btw | 13:07 |
| lorenzosu | liri: I'm sure there's a way. Simply though you can do rm to delete a file forever.. so maybe more advanced users simply use the terminal | 13:07 |
| pmunsch | !ssh | 13:07 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 13:07 |
| bobbyd | hi | 13:07 |
| jumbers | [nrx]: I think I must have gotten frustrated once and terminated it without letting it do its cleanup | 13:08 |
| hansolo669 | syroith:its ok i'v been here before | 13:08 |
| xbmc | could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies | 13:08 |
| lstarnes | supermouse: it might be easier to do sudo -u user command | 13:08 |
| Syrioth | kl | 13:08 |
| [nrx] | jumbers, sounds like normal everyday behaviour lol | 13:08 |
| Hayate_Yagami | Well, that was a lesson in fail. I tried to compile a Linux kernel just then... It booted fine, and worked fine too... until I tried to use the mouse... | 13:08 |
| lorenzosu | liri: Anyhow let me stress that using some sort of "trash" mechanism is a safeguard to errors... And human error is one of the #1 causes for data loss ;) | 13:08 |
| Hayate_Yagami | Where might I have fucked up? | 13:08 |
| lstarnes | supermouse: or maybe sudo -i -u user command | 13:08 |
| jumbers | lstarnes: In most cases he doesn't even need to do that. Apache starts up with /etc/init.d scripts | 13:08 |
| supermouse | I'm not trying to log in as the apache user, I'm saying the apache unprivileged user does not have a shell defined in /etc/passwd.. | 13:08 |
| Syrioth | has anyone else had problems with the nvidia driver | 13:09 |
| Hayate_Yagami | Syrioth, no. | 13:09 |
| bobbyd | are there known issues with connecting to Windows VPNs using Network Manager under Jaunty? I'm using the same settings I used to use and it just doesn't work. Does anyone have that working successfully? | 13:09 |
| jumbers | supermouse: It doesn't have a shell for security reasons | 13:09 |
| darkhamm | magnetron: i haven't ffmpeg on the medibuntu packages..... | 13:09 |
| Syrioth | ok maybe i'm just doing something wrong then | 13:09 |
| supermouse | Yes, and I am saying my unprivileged user should be the same | 13:09 |
| magnetron | darkhamm: did you add the medibuntu repo? | 13:09 |
| darkhamm | yes, i browse it in synaptic, and i haven't ffmpeg | 13:10 |
| darkhamm | magnetron: medibuntu free universe and nonfree | 13:10 |
| jumbers | supermouse: What, nobody? | 13:11 |
| magnetron | darkhamm: in synaptic, after you add medibuntu you should "Update", then "select all upgrades" then "Apply" | 13:11 |
| liri | lorenzosu: which means there's no possiblity to disable it I take it... | 13:12 |
| lorenzosu | liri: I didn't say that. | 13:12 |
| michelem | ok, in sources.list.d only files ending in ".list" are parsed. | 13:13 |
| darkhamm | magnetron: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/index.html , for jaunty ffmpeg is missed | 13:15 |
| FireFox3 | Good evening, howdy | 13:15 |
| Syrioth | could someone help me with the nvidia driver problems | 13:15 |
| Syrioth | when it is enabled it goes into low res mode | 13:16 |
| liri | lorenzosu: you aren't say how to disable it either :) so I'm guessing it's not supported or something | 13:16 |

| pivotraze | ? | 14:55 |
| roxan | Cube: LInux caches rest | 14:55 |
| lstarnes | roxan: ubottu has a method for that. try /msg ubottu info linux-image-generic hardy | 14:55 |
| Cube | roxan: hmm? | 14:55 |
| stew | Cube: its normal for linux to use some swap for things being rarely used so that the ram can be better used to speed your machine up | 14:56 |
| roxan | lstarnes: where exactly | 14:56 |
| stew | Cube: this is controlled by the 'swappiness' setting in /proc/sys/vm/swappiness ; though its not recommended to mess with it | 14:56 |

| pivotraze | I have a Nvidia RIVA TNT Model 64 PRO graphics card, and when booting up i get 3 errors, really just saying "no drivers available." This started happening after installing a nVidia update. How do i fix this??? | 14:57 |
| lstarnes | roxan: just type that into your irc client. /msg is the command that irc clients use for sending private messages. That will send the message "info linux-image-generic hardy" to ubottu | 14:57 |
| mbeierl | Cube: it has pushed some programs out to swap to make room for file system cache. In other words it sees that there are files that you are accessing more frequently than the programs, so it puts some programs into swap and keeps the files in memory instead to speed things up | 14:57 |
| roxan | Cube: and by default its 60, so its little aggressive | 14:57 |
| Cube | stew: ok gotcha. didnt know that. oh and: my netbook is pretty slow in general, wasnt like that at the beginning. especially the boot times are ridiculous. i dont even boot anymore, but close all programs and hibernate (and than wake it up from that). is there any way to get rid of start up programs? (i know of the perferences -> session way, but its not showing all of them) | 14:57 |
| Amnesia | Nick0: Apparantly "qemu -hda /dev/sdx" should do it | 14:57 |

| locohost | 3dfx ftw | 14:59 |
| lightningseed | pivotraze: your card is probably no longer supported in the new version of the nvidia drivers | 14:59 |
| pivotraze | lightningseed: I have installed the official driver for TNT2 model drivers from nVidias download site to no avail, where would i get the legacy driver? | 14:59 |

| HGF | mbeierl, i used the add/remove thing and searched java | 15:11 |
| locohost | what? | 15:11 |
| Leoneof | my wireless was work fine, but now is not work :S | 15:12 |
| locohost | it wont let you navigate the web interface in FF? | 15:12 |
| ghfcu | locohost, nope | 15:12 |
| locohost | is it flash or java or something? | 15:12 |
| ghfcu | locohost, only accepts ie6 - sucks | 15:12 |
| mrglinux | I searched a lot but nobody reach to solve this problem (root partition showed 100% full ) . I can not reinstall linux every 2days . I had this problem 2 days ago with 18GIG / partition and I had to reinstall ubuntu . I changed root partition and put it another where and changed to 23 gig . today it shows your root partition is full 100% | 15:12 |
| mrglinux | but it's not | 15:12 |
| HGF | mbeierl, what do i type in terminal to get it? | 15:12 |
| Cube | mbeierl: it said nothing got uninstalled | 15:12 |
| ghfcu | locohost, nope | 15:13 |

| HGF | mbeierl, wow . i am getting an error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 15:13 |
| HGF | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 15:13 |
| roxie | http://paste.ubuntu.com/227442/plain/ | 15:13 |
| ghfcu | locohost, I go to the router from the default route ip address and go to expert mode to find the NAT from the configure menu, but it doesn't display it | 15:13 |
| roxie | i think thats it | 15:13 |
| mbeierl | Cube: "sudo aptitude purge sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf" said nothing removed? | 15:14 |

| linuxman410 | mrglinux is this a dell laptop | 15:14 |
| ghfcu | locohost, what would you suggest? | 15:14 |
| HGF | no, | 15:14 |
| sisif | Hello guys. Small noob question here. I`v get got my notebook back from service, where they changed the whole MB. Weird thing now - my ether does not work anymore. I do have a link on it, and it shows up in lspci. Some friend told me that I need to update the MAC address of the new ether chipset so that the kernel recognize it. Any ideas on how I can do that ? Thanks ? | 15:14 |
| jwo | hi guys, i formatted an external USB flash drive to Ext4 and cannot write to it | 15:14 |
| lstarnes | roxie: what happens when you start firefox in the terminal as "firefox" & | 15:14 |
| roxie | lstarnes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/227442/plain/ is that it? | 15:14 |
| mrglinux | linuxman410: no normal type of pc | 15:14 |
| lstarnes | roxie: yes | 15:14 |
| locohost | well, set the nat up on one of your windows machine then | 15:14 |
| HGF | mbeierl, now it wont let me open synaptic - same error. can not get a lock or whatever | 15:15 |
| roxie | still in safe mode | 15:15 |
| HGF | mbeierl, no nothing is open but xchat | 15:15 |
| mbeierl | HGF: there is some program that has it open right now. If you want we can search for it. | 15:15 |
| linuxman410 | mrglinux my friend had same problem but it was a dell and i removed all partitation and it was fine | 15:15 |
| HGF | mbeierl, not that i know. do i need to reboot maybe ? or will this not fix | 15:15 |
| jwo | HGF: most likely a program has failed to quit, such as synaptic so you will need to kill it | 15:15 |
| linuxman410 | after i repartition and loaded | 15:16 |
| lstarnes | roxie: any error messages in the terminal? | 15:16 |
| ghfcu | locohost, can there be another solution to access NAT on a linux platform via unbuntu from another browser? | 15:16 |
| HGF | jwo, how does one kill it? | 15:16 |
| jwo | HGF: open a terminal and type "top" to find out the processes that are running and kill the problem ones | 15:16 |
| roxie | lstarnes: nope, it popped up firefox | 15:16 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi would like to know - how do I check what application is accessing the internet ? Went and check netstat but It doesn't list out which application is accessing the internet.IT only show IP | 15:16 |
| mrglinux | but this problem refer to ubuntu not hard or another things . because another people had this problem and ... | 15:16 |
| ghfcu | localhost, ie via windows pc is my last opition | 15:16 |
| mrglinux | maybe it refer to ext4 | 15:16 |
| lstarnes | ubuntunewbie: netstat -alp | 15:16 |
| mrglinux | ? | 15:16 |
| mbeierl | HGF: "sudo lsof | grep /var/lib/apt/lists/lock" | 15:16 |
| locohost | i am sure there is | 15:16 |
| dew | Ubuntu fails to install (dual instal Xp) brub loads then displays "<windows root>/system32/hal.dll" | 15:17 |
| ghfcu | locolhost, option*; any help would do | 15:17 |
| locohost | maybe you can enable telnet | 15:17 |
| dew | grub* | 15:17 |
| Cube | mbeierl: ok now theyre gone | 15:17 |
| lstarnes | roxie: you could try moving ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.bak then seeing if you still start in safe mode | 15:17 |
| locohost | or enable remote management and have your friend login and do it for you or soemthing | 15:17 |
| ghfcu | locolhost, most 3rd party remote control softwares are only Windows compatible | 15:17 |
| roxie | lstarnes: how do i do that | 15:17 |
| lstarnes | roxie: just remember that that method will temporarily reset your settings until you move ~/.mozilla.bak back to its right place | 15:17 |
| grawity | ghfcu: VNC? ssh? | 15:18 |
| lstarnes | roxie: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak | 15:18 |
| HGF | mbeierl, i did that command | 15:18 |
| Cube | mbeierl: but the system is still kinda running slow. what else could i do? | 15:18 |
| Sirkill9alot | I can't download the power pc iso image... it keeps stalling, once on 318mb, another on 435mb | 15:18 |
| Sirkill9alot | what is going on! | 15:18 |
| ghfcu | grawity: yes, currently | 15:18 |
| mbeierl | Cube: ok, so that might help speed boot time, but that won't make the netbook that much faster overall. | 15:18 |
| mrglinux | what shall I do ? no solution ?? | 15:18 |
| Sirkill9alot | anyone here have any idea how to stop my download stalling at like 64 or 50% | 15:19 |
| Cube | mbeierl: yeah exactly | 15:19 |
| mbeierl | HGF: sorry - I just tried a test and that lsof cmd does not show who has it locked. | 15:19 |
| ghfcu | locohost: how to use remote management, from local machine or on the router? | 15:19 |
| sash_ | Cube: which netbook do you use? | 15:19 |
| HGF | mbeierl, still getting the lock error hah, | 15:19 |
| Cube | sash_: eee 1000he | 15:19 |
| frostburn | Sirkill9alot, you may wish to use bittorrent instead of an http download | 15:19 |
| mbeierl | HGF: you can try a reboot, but I am curious to find out how to determine what program holds the lock... | 15:19 |
| locohost | some will let your enable remote management, then you can login to the web interface over the internet | 15:20 |
| ghfcu | grawity: just trying to remote assist on a desktop outside my network | 15:20 |
| Sirkill9alot | frostburn any links?? the best bittorrent i can see only has 3 seeders.. | 15:20 |
| Cube | mbeierl: sash_: also, the battery life is significantly slower than the promised 9.5h. even without bluetooth, wifi, cpu underclocked, low brightness no sound i never even get 6h | 15:20 |
| HGF | mbeierl, i will try to reboot. be right back. thanks for help. ill talk to you soon lol | 15:20 |
| locohost | not particularly secure, but temporarly, i would not worry about it | 15:20 |
| sash_ | Cube: i use 1000h with ubuntu 9.04 (standard) and have absolutely no problems. i use another window-manager and have boot times around 28 seconds from grub to login | 15:20 |
| troythetechguy_ | I just installed 9.04 on a machine that's a few yrs. old w/ AMD 2.2Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 200GB HDD. Runs great under Ubuntu, but when I open XP in VirtulaBox, PC crashed 3 times in a row when XP is loading. I check memory, it's ok. Other ideas? | 15:20 |
| mbeierl | HGF: ciao for niao | 15:20 |
| favor | hi, is there a translation software on ubuntu for english to chinese? | 15:20 |
| mbeierl | Cube: I don't have a netbook, so I can't say for sure what to do there... | 15:21 |
| ghfcu | locohost: I'll try that and see what happens. thanks | 15:21 |
| roxie | lstarnes: am i supposed to type that somewhere? mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak | 15:21 |
| frostburn | Sirkill9alot, you'll need to open up your ports for bittorrent to get more seeds | 15:21 |
| ubuntunewbie | lstarnes : Thanks but the list is too long , the terminal limits it , I can't scroll anything above | 15:21 |
| Cube | sash_: hmm ok. coz im using easy peasy, which runs ubuntu 8.10 | 15:21 |
| sash_ | and well, i dont get the promised 7 hours, but even not in windows | 15:21 |
| lstarnes | roxie: it's a command. You type it into your terminal | 15:21 |
| Cube | sash_: hmm | 15:21 |
| sash_ | Cube: in jaunty _everything_ runs out of the box | 15:21 |
| Cube | kk | 15:21 |
| lstarnes | ubuntunewbie: try netstat -alp | less | 15:22 |
| Cube | sash_: but i mean its H not HE, might be little different right? | 15:22 |
| ghfcu | locohost: last question, do you know any other remote control software/program that is linux compatible? | 15:22 |
| roxie | mv: cannot stat `/home/roxie/.mozilla': No such file or directory | 15:22 |
| sash_ | well, afaik HE is better than H ^^ | 15:22 |
| Sirkill9alot | hhmm frostburn dont understand wat u mean, im on the site to download the torrent n the site is saying its only got 5 seeds | 15:22 |
| lstarnes | roxie: that's strange. Try starting firefox again | 15:22 |
| === Nick0|away is now known as Nick0 | ||
| ghfcu | locohost: if not, then don't worry about it. | 15:23 |
| roxie | ok for some reason it came back to life now haha. | 15:23 |
| lstarnes | roxie: apparently your .mozilla got wiped out before the move | 15:23 |
| ubuntunewbie | lstarnes : thank you , it works :-) | 15:23 |
| roxie | k... so everything is back to normal from when i first got the program? | 15:23 |
| lstarnes | roxie: I think so | 15:24 |
| locohost | vnc is probably the best | 15:24 |
| locohost | well, second to ssh | 15:24 |
| HGF | mbeierl, back. reboot seemed to work. but i got an error msg when opening synaptic | 15:24 |
| roxie | yeah, my add ons are gone and also preferences... thanx lstarnes. | 15:24 |
| mbeierl | HGF: what's the msg? | 15:24 |
| ghfcu | locohost: how to use ssh on ubuntu? Is it via tunnel? | 15:24 |
| HGF | mbeierl, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 15:24 |
| HGF | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 15:24 |
| edbian | Is there a good way to clean out all of the .<appName> folders (in my /home) for the programs I no longer have installed? | 15:25 |
| lstarnes | edbian: you'll probably have to remove them manually | 15:25 |
| mbeierl | HGF: ok. close synaptic and drop down to a terminal. obviously when we rebooted, it interrupted a dpkg process that was running | 15:25 |
| HGF | mbeierl, okay what should i do in terminal | 15:26 |
| edbian | lstarnes: Maybe I could write a script? | 15:26 |
| MarkStoddart | Hi all | 15:26 |
| mbeierl | HGF: once in the terminal, execute: "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 15:26 |
| grawity | edbian: removing manually would be a lot safer | 15:26 |
| linduxed1 | why do i get "unknow host" for everything i type after traceroute6? | 15:26 |
| grawity | edbian: a script cannot know if ~/.mission-control, for example, belongs to which program. | 15:27 |
| HGF | mbeierl, after typing in password, nothing happened | 15:27 |
| grawity | linduxed1: what have you tried so far? give some examples | 15:27 |
| edbian | grawity: Seems odd to me that there isn't an automated way of handling these files. Like with dpkg or something. | 15:27 |
| mbeierl | HGF: did the cmd prompt come back or is it still running? | 15:27 |
| HGF | mbeierl, no prompt | 15:28 |
| HGF | it just shows my name like it does when i start up terminal | 15:28 |
| grawity | edbian: that would be a bad idea. | 15:28 |
| linduxed1 | grawity: http://pastebin.com/m58a69767 | 15:28 |
| dew | <windows root>/system32/hal.dll any1 had this problem with dual boot? | 15:28 |
| locohost | well, you can tunnel stuff through ssh if thats your question, but ssh is a client/server for remote cli | 15:28 |
| mbeierl | HGF: ok, so it cleared the problem, it should be good now. Try running "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" in the terminal | 15:28 |
| grawity | linduxed1: erm. traceroute6 is for IPv6 addresses only | 15:29 |
| grawity | linduxed1: for IPv6 addresses you use simply 'traceroute' | 15:29 |
| ghfcu | locohost: I'll figure it out, thanks again for those tips. Later | 15:29 |
| edbian | grawity: ? Why not prompt the user? For example: add a flag to apt-get (-h or something) that will also remove the .<appName> folder when you are removing the program. Similar to apt-get remove Vs. apt-get purge. | 15:29 |
| HGF | mbeierl, it is downloading | 15:29 |
| edbian | grawity: Why is this a bad idea? | 15:29 |
| grawity | linduxed1: second, "http://www.google.com/" is a full URL, and it will never work for traceroute either | 15:29 |
| HGF | mbeierl, i spoke too soon. something def isnt working | 15:30 |
| mbeierl | HGF: good. once done, you should be able to see... oh no. | 15:30 |
| HGF | let me use that pastebin thing to show you | 15:30 |
| linduxed1 | grawity: i only have the following commands: tracepath tracepath6 traceroute6 traceroute6.iputils | 15:30 |
| grawity | linduxed1: then install traceroute | 15:31 |
| mbeierl | HGF: ok | 15:31 |
| HGF | mbeierl, http://pastebin.com/md2ed510 | 15:31 |
| linduxed1 | grawity: that worked, stupid problem, simple solution | 15:31 |
| richardcavell | everyone, what graphics card are you running and how well does it work under Ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| linduxed1 | grawity: i simply though the 6 version was an upgrade | 15:32 |
| scott__ | my mouse stops workin, how can i fix this? | 15:32 |
| H_M-Laptop | Hey is there a way to force something to end? (For example, using killall) | 15:33 |
| mbeierl | HGF: are you on a 64 bit or 32 bit system. I recall you said 32, but I thought that it would do the right thing there | 15:33 |
| xbmc | replace batteries :p | 15:33 |
| HGF | mbeierl, 32 for sure | 15:33 |
| grawity | linduxed1: it is, kind of - traceroute uses IPv4, and traceroute6 uses IPv6, which is newer but still rare | 15:33 |
| AceKing | does anyone know how to setup a remote connection from one desktop to another? I tried Remote Desktop, but I can't connect to the host | 15:33 |
| HGF | mbeierl, im on a dell 600m, very old laptop | 15:33 |
| H_M-Laptop | I want to kill conky immediately instead of having to wait for it (As it runs commands that make it wait to end) | 15:33 |
| grawity | H_M-Laptop: killall -9 programname, kill -9 processid, and so on | 15:33 |
| mbeierl | HGF: "dpkg -l | grep java" - pastebin that for me please? | 15:33 |
| H_M-Laptop | grawity, thanks. | 15:34 |
| grawity | H_M-Laptop: -9 (or -SIGKILL) will kill instantly | 15:34 |
| Graviton | scott__: Which mouse, under what circumstances does it stop working, more info, please | 15:34 |
| scott__ | graviton, micro innovations optical ps2 thru usb adapter, any circumstance | 15:35 |
| HGF | mbeierl, http://pastebin.com/m2c691b03 | 15:35 |
| Graviton | So a wired mouse, then? | 15:35 |
| scott__ | graviton yes | 15:36 |
| nsahoo | chrome got experimental support for plugins that can be enabled by --enable-plugins | 15:36 |
| Graviton | Try checking dmesg and/or syslog when it stops working | 15:36 |
| nsahoo | it is looking for a 32bit plugin, is there a 32 bit wrapper or something on the 64 bit plugins? | 15:36 |
| scott__ | how will i do that when the mouse don't work? | 15:36 |
| Graviton | I assume it works when you boot, and then stop working after some amount of time | 15:36 |
| mbeierl | HGF: oh. There does not seem to be a sun java installed at all. Ok. what happens when you do a "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre"? | 15:37 |
| AceKing | grawity: You started to help me yesterday with setting up a remote desktop, then I didn't hear anything. You have time to help? | 15:37 |
| Graviton | type dmesg|tail in a terminal right after the mouse stops working | 15:37 |
| Graviton | Or dmesg|less if it has been a while | 15:37 |
| grawity | AceKing: I have time, but I don't know anything about setting up VNC | 15:37 |
| scott__ | graviton: yeah i have to reboot to get er goin again. but i'm not sure how to open a terminal without a mouse | 15:37 |
| MaT-dg | trying to help someone with remote desktop but the image is not updating | 15:37 |
| grawity | scott__: Alt-F2, gnome-temrinal | 15:37 |
| HGF | mbeierl, iirc, when i went to add programs and searched java, i installed some Open java thing - i cant remember quite the name | 15:38 |
| grawity | scott__: er, gnome-terminal | 15:38 |
| AceKing | grawity: Ok, thanks anyway | 15:38 |
| scott__ | gotcha | 15:38 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about panel | 15:38 |
| Graviton | Hmm | 15:38 |
| scott__ | will that work right now graviton? | 15:38 |
| mbeierl | HGF: OK! Now I understand! The open java is still in development iirc. I don't think it completely works yet. I do know that the one from Sun does work, though | 15:38 |
| Graviton | !gnome-panel | urthmover | 15:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-panel | 15:38 |
| grawity | !search panel | 15:39 |

| HGF | mbeierl, okay same error when trying to install the JRE | 15:39 |
| Graviton | Indeed, thank you, grawity | 15:39 |
| Graviton | scott__: Possibly | 15:39 |
| HGF | mbeierl, do you want the error pasted. i believe it is similar from trying to install the plugin | 15:39 |
| colbertj | :-\ | 15:39 |
| Graviton | If dmesg has anything about your mouse, it will | 15:39 |
| mbeierl | HGF: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin" - no it's ok about paste | 15:39 |
| colbertj | how come ubuntu doesnt have the resolution listed for my secondary monitor | 15:40 |
| colbertj | if i set it as my primary i can make the resolution larger | 15:40 |
| Graviton | Otherwise try 'sudo less /var/log/syslog' to see if syslog has anything | 15:40 |
| urthmover | Graviton: great top panel is back thanks | 15:40 |
| HGF | mbeierl, getting error after doing that. would you like it pasted? | 15:40 |
| colbertj | also how can I apply dual monitor desktop wall papers | 15:40 |

| mbeierl | HGF: ok | 15:41 |
| Graviton | scott__: dmesg gets overwritten (I believe) with every reboot | 15:41 |
| colbertj | is there a way to extend wallpapers across two monitors in ubuntu | 15:41 |
| shivek | Hi Everyone ! | 15:41 |

| HGF | mbeierl, http://pastebin.com/m6557854a | 15:41 |
| shivek | I have a problem with ddclient. Can anyone help ? ! | 15:41 |
| Graviton | So you'll have to wait until your mouse stops working | 15:41 |
| jrib | shivek: just ask your question | 15:41 |
| soreau | stillRise: You have to mount it. For instance. Assuming ntfs is on the first hard drive on the first partition, do something like 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && ls /mnt' should mount it and show you the contents if successful | 15:42 |
| locohost | colb, yes, use a background that is the resolution of both your monitors put together... | 15:42 |
| Graviton | scott__: And as mentioned, you might also want to try dmesg|less to get the entire output of dmesg (and still be able to scroll through it) | 15:43 |
| locohost | 2880x1800 or something | 15:43 |

| HGF | :/ | 15:43 |
| soreau | OttifantSir: If you're using all gigabit equipment, I believe cat6 would make a difference because the wires are wound tighter producing a cleaner signal | 15:43 |
| shivek | I've configured ddclient, but my websites ip does not updates or it updates to my local ip (192. one) so my website becomes unavailable. | 15:43 |

| mbeierl | HGF: try this instead "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin" | 15:43 |
| colbertj | locohost: how come ubuntu sees my secondary monitor as a lower resolution than my primary | 15:43 |
| legend2440 | HGF: in terminal try sudo apt-get -f install | 15:43 |
| colbertj | both monitors have the same native resolution | 15:44 |
| stewart_ | hello i have just installed nginx for the first time. I am trying to get it working using fastcgi and php. I can get index.php to work fine however when i try and run drupal the browser prompts me to download install.php. Why is nginx not sending this to the fastcgi? | 15:44 |
| Graviton | scott__: Press / and then type mouse or ps/2 or something to that effect | 15:44 |
| Graviton | That will make it search through the text | 15:44 |
| chris__ | hi | 15:44 |
| Graviton | When in less, that is | 15:44 |
| chris__ | my usb 2.0 port is very slow (~3MB) and i havfe recognised that neither the ehci nor the uhci module is loaded. google tells me i should modprobe one of them. but they don't even exist in /lib/modules! why is that? | 15:45 |
| noren | !webcrawler | 15:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about webcrawler | 15:45 |
| HGF | mbeierl, it started to install, i pressed "y" (yes) and then it said it could not locate a file for the sun..... | 15:45 |
| mbeierl | legend2440: not sure that's going to be a good idea - it won't resolve the dependencies and he'll have a possibly broken package | 15:45 |
| colbertj | how come my desktop doesnt load in ubuntu | 15:45 |
| lazy|crazy | #linuxac | 15:45 |
| mbeierl | HGF: interesting. try "sudo aptitude update" - maybe your source list is out of date? | 15:45 |
| colbertj | I have the panels on top and bottom | 15:45 |
| OttifantSir | soreau: A mix-match actually. two computers with Fast Ethernet, and two computers with Gigibit Ethernet. I just want the fastest speed possible for the ones that have the possibility. | 15:45 |
| scott__ | graviton: Jul 23 07:08:34 scott-desktop kernel: [ 2.702683] mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice | 15:45 |
| soreau | HGF: Do you have a working internet connection on the box you're trying to install java? | 15:46 |
| HGF | mbeierl, i an trying legend2440 's suggestion now...lets see here | 15:46 |
| colbertj | but for some reason no icons show up on the desktop (despite them being in the desktop directory) and also the background doesnt show up | 15:46 |
| grawity | colbertj: can you press Alt+F2 and open nautilus? | 15:46 |
| colbertj | and i cant right click on it | 15:46 |
| HGF | soreau, i am on the box right now :P | 15:46 |
| soreau | OttifantSir: Then by all means, go with cat6 | 15:46 |
| Graviton | scott__: Do your mouse work at the moment? | 15:46 |
| scott__ | yeah | 15:46 |
| colbertj | grawity, yea | 15:46 |
| OttifantSir | soreau: Thanks man. | 15:46 |
| creature_ | where would be the best place to find out abput installing and setting up an apache webserver for the first time | 15:46 |
| Graviton | scott__: Then you won't find anything of interest yet | 15:47 |
| HGF | legend2440, i am at t his blue screen that says configure sun-java6-bin | 15:47 |
| chris__ | where are the uhci and ehci usb modules in ubuntu jaunty? | 15:47 |
| HGF | how do i advance | 15:47 |
| grawity | creature_: the Apache channel is #httpd, also ##linux can be helpful. | 15:47 |
| scott__ | graviton: that time stamp lines up with about when it broke down tho | 15:47 |
| soreau | HGF: It's usually helpful if you copy/paste the error to a pastebin service then post the link here so we can see what you are seeing | 15:47 |
| Graviton | Hmm | 15:47 |
| creature_ | thanks grawity | 15:47 |
| Pici | creature_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP is a good place to start for installing it, grawity's channel's for configuring it. | 15:47 |
| ikonia | HGF: page down and accept the license agreement | 15:47 |
| HGF | kk let me try | 15:47 |
| Graviton | Ah, you're looking through syslog | 15:47 |
| HGF | i paged all the way down | 15:47 |
| HGF | how do i click that okay | 15:47 |
| HGF | "ok" | 15:47 |
| grawity | HGF: Press Tab and Enter | 15:47 |
| colbertj | grawity: is there a way to get the things in my desktop folder to show up on my desktop | 15:47 |
| ikonia | HGF: tab to it | 15:47 |
| HGF | oh thank | 15:47 |
| colbertj | and also get the background changed | 15:47 |
| soreau | HGF: If you're at that blue license screen, just use the arrow keys to select yes, you do accept agreement terms nad press enter | 15:48 |
| HGF | kk i did that, it is working | 15:48 |
| mumu | hello. anybody compile thc-hydra 5.4 ? | 15:48 |
| grawity | colbertj: nautilus is responsible for displaying the desktop; can you run it from Terminal? | 15:48 |
| HGF | it is unpacking | 15:48 |
| colbertj | yes...it opens up a file browser | 15:48 |
| colbertj | i have a GUI loaded no problem | 15:48 |
| Graviton | scott__: It seems, however, from the number in the brackets that the line you just pasted is from your computer booting | 15:48 |
| colbertj | just no icons on the desktop and i cant right click on the desktop | 15:48 |
| colbertj | but all my programs work | 15:48 |
| grawity | colbertj: I KNOW, you just said that. | 15:49 |
| stillRise | how can I test if I have access to the drive I just mounted ? I went to filesystem->dev->sda1 did not work (Ubuntu 8.0) | 15:49 |
| frostburn | colbertj, i've had that issue before, i fixed it by moving icons from my desktop to another folder and restarting x | 15:49 |
| grawity | colbertj: go to Terminal; type: killall -9 nautilus; (nautilus &) | 15:49 |
| HGF | mbeierl, i will let you know how this works when it is installed | 15:49 |
| Threetimes | Hi, I just installed Windows 7 RC, but there are no network drivers for my NIC. I restored grub and booted my older Ubuntu, but Ubuntu also won't see my NIC. It's a Realtek Gigabit RTL8111DL. | 15:49 |
| grawity | stillRise: /dev/sda1 is the actual device; you need to go to the mount point (which probably is in /media, or /mnt, or whatever). | 15:50 |
| soreau | colbertj: You probably need to enable the show_desktop gconf key in the path apps>nautilus>preferences via gconf-editor, then restart nautilus | 15:50 |
| grawity | stillRise: also, how did you mount it? | 15:50 |
| scott__ | graviton: ok lemme ask ya this, when next it craps out on me again, and i drop the command to check wut happened, what sorta info am i really lookin for? will it explain anything to a noob like me or should i come back here with the results? | 15:50 |
| Pici | Threetimes: This is #ubuntu, you want ##windows | 15:51 |
| stillRise | grawity: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force | 15:51 |
| mumu | hello. anybody compile thc-hydra 5.4 ? | 15:51 |
| soreau | stillRise: The command I gave you mounted it to filesystem>/mnt | 15:51 |
| Pici | Threetimes: er, I misread there. Are you asking about Ubuntu or Windows? | 15:51 |
| grawity | stillRise: so the mount point is /media/disk, and this is where you should go check. | 15:51 |
| ikonia | mumu: just ask your questions | 15:51 |
| saml | how can I create a file in /etc/logrotate.d ? | 15:51 |
| Threetimes | Pici: both :D (ubuntu is more important) | 15:51 |
| stillRise | ah, ok, thank you guys | 15:51 |
| soreau | stillRise: The command you just showed would have mounted it to filesystem>/media/disc | 15:51 |
| bassliner | saml: touch /etc/logrotate.d/foo | 15:51 |
| Graviton | scott__: It probably won't tell you anything, no | 15:52 |
| saml | bassliner, yah but i can't write to it if i open it up in editor.. i did sudo vim /etc/logrotate.d/foo | 15:52 |
| bassliner | saml: then you should in any case be able to do so | 15:52 |
| Graviton | I'm leaving in about half an hour, but of course you can always ask someone else | 15:52 |
| scott__ | graviton will it tell YOU anything | 15:52 |
| grawity | saml: do you know how to use the 'vim' editor? If not, better use 'nano' | 15:52 |
| HGF | mbeierl, okay i think it finished doing the install in terminal, but java still "disabled" according to java tester in ff | 15:52 |
| Graviton | scott__: Hard to tell, it might | 15:53 |
| scott__ | dang it | 15:53 |
| grawity | saml: in 'vim', before typing text you need to enter "Insert mode" by pressing the 'i' key. | 15:53 |
| saml | oh crap it was extension | 15:53 |
| scott__ | graviton can ya point me in the right direction to look this up on the interweb? | 15:53 |
| saml | i did /etc/logrotate.d/foo.jar | 15:53 |
| saml | somehow it thought it's a zip file | 15:53 |
| legend2440 | HGF: open synaptic and see if sun-java6-plugin is installed | 15:53 |
| chris__ | does anybody have problems with usb speeds? i can't find the ehci module on my machine. is this normal? | 15:53 |
| mazda01 | anyone know where firefox stores it's session info file? I want to open firefox 3.5 using the restore session option from the tabs i have open in firefox 3 | 15:54 |
| ikonia | saml: why are you putting a jar file or a zip file in that directory | 15:54 |
| grawity | saml: well, .jars _are_ zip archives. | 15:54 |
| bassliner | saml: http://paste.debian.net/42496/ | 15:54 |
| ikonia | saml: that is for configuration files | 15:54 |
| colbertj | soreau, where is apps>nautilus>preferences? | 15:54 |
| grawity | colbertj: in gconf-editor | 15:54 |
| saml | no, that's my service name.. foo.jar | 15:54 |
| HGF | legend2440, will try hold | 15:54 |
| mumu | ikonia, I have unsatisfied dependences (Checking for SAP/R3 (librfc/saprfc.h) ... | 15:54 |
| mumu | ... NOT found, module sapr3 disabled) | 15:54 |
| ikonia | saml: ahh so that is a configuration file | 15:54 |
| Graviton | Try googling for something like ps/2 mouse stops working, that's about what I can think of, off the top of my head | 15:54 |
| mumu | where i can get it? | 15:54 |
| soreau | colbertj: It's in ~/.gconf technically, but you want to use 'gconf-editor' to access it vis gui | 15:54 |
| Graviton | And there's always the forums, of course | 15:54 |
| xlq | My cstdint is for C++0x ... ! | 15:54 |
| ikonia | mumu: look on the hyrda website or the README or INSTALL file it should call out dependencies | 15:55 |
| scott__ | graviton, ok brother thanks for tryin to help anyhoot. i appreciate yer time. have a groovy day now | 15:55 |
| ikonia | mumu: although SAP/R3 doesn't seem like a critical dependency | 15:55 |
| Graviton | You too, scott__ | 15:55 |
| Threetimes | Hi, I just installed Windows 7 RC, but there are no network drivers for my NIC. I restored grub and booted my older Ubuntu, but Ubuntu also won't see my NIC. It's a Realtek Gigabit RTL8111DL. | 15:55 |
| HGF | legend2440, okay synaptic open how do i check for java? | 15:56 |
| Cube | im running ubuntu 8.10 (running easy peasy actually) when gnome 3.0 comes out, will i be able to install it manually? | 15:56 |
| ikonia | Threetime check your bios | 15:56 |
| mumu | ikonia, i read it, and read forums | 15:56 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: if two OS's can't see it, its either your bios or a fault | 15:56 |
| ikonia | mumu: ok - so it should call out the dependencies | 15:56 |
| xlq | So, my cstdint is, effectively, broken. | 15:56 |
| legend2440 | HGF: open synaptic and see if go down to sun-java6-plugin and see if it is installed green box next to it? | 15:56 |
| shambat | I want to rotate logs in several directories in the same way...can I specify a rotate rule like this and accomplish this? /var/log/gwlogs/*/local1 {rules here} I want to rotate all log files named local1 in all subdirectories of gwlogs, but in seperate files of course | 15:57 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: I double-checked my bios, and the board is still quite new. It must be Windows 7 somehow (i hope...) | 15:57 |
| mumu | ikonia, when i ./configure, i see "Get it from http://www.sap.com/solutions/netweaver/linux/eval/index.asp" | 15:57 |
| mumu | but it is not free | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: how can it be windows if neither OS can see it | 15:57 |
| ikonia | mumu: ok - there is your problem then | 15:57 |
| mazda01 | anyone know the name of the firefox restore session file? | 15:57 |
| mumu | ;/ | 15:57 |
| ikonia | mumu: but I don't see that as a critical dependency | 15:57 |
| mumu | yep | 15:58 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: Windows put the NIC in some kind of sleep, and I have to get it out of it (just a silly theory...) | 15:58 |
| mumu | but i can't "make" | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: I doubt that | 15:58 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: Me too | 15:58 |
| ikonia | mumu: well - you need to buy the library if that IS the problem | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: more likley a problem with the board or bios | 15:58 |
| HGF | legend2440, only -bin and -jre , not -plugin | 15:58 |
| HGF | legend2440, should i set it to download the plugin too? | 15:58 |
| legend2440 | HGF: right click plugin choose install | 15:58 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: what in the bios can I check? Can an OS change the bios? | 15:59 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: the os can't change teh bios, Ii don't know what your options are in the bios, just make sure the card is enabled in the bios, if there is an option | 15:59 |
| soreau | Threetimes: If windows nor ubuntu can use the card despite correct drivers installed, there is the chance the card could be bad | 15:59 |
| crazysoul | i am currently running(not succesfully) kernel 2.6.28.3.1-rt (realtime(, anybody know how i could install a previous rt?? | 15:59 |
| Dekko | Hello everybody. | 16:00 |
| HGF | legend2440, installed. will check java in ff now | 16:00 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: It is enabled, and I don't know of any other options. It is a AMI BIOS. | 16:00 |
| ikonia | crazysoul: older versions are in synpatic/repos you need to change your policy | 16:00 |
| Dekko | Does anyone here know why both my monitors blacks out when switching to console (CTRL+ALT+F2) when using nvidia drivers? | 16:00 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: then it's probably a motherboard issue | 16:00 |
| Dekko | How can I fix this? | 16:00 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: What if it's not? | 16:01 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: then two OS's find your board incompatible | 16:01 |
| mumu | ikonia, How I can turn off check this dependence? | 16:01 |
| HGF | legend2440, perfect, it works | 16:01 |
| ikonia | mumu: look at ./configure --help | 16:01 |
| legend2440 | HGF: ok | 16:01 |
| soreau | Dekko: The nvidia driver is probably switching to an output mode not supported by your monitors. Since bugging the nvidia folks is all but completely useless, you might try a different nvidia driver version instead | 16:01 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: It always worked, until I installed Win7. It even worked in XP! | 16:01 |
| stillRise | soreau: I checked the Documents and Settings folder, it has 0 items in it, is there any other way I can try to get access to the drive/directory to try to recover files in that directory ? | 16:02 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: if it did work - now it doesn't work in multiple OS's it is most likley a hardware problem | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | HGF: sorry - got called away from desk for a bit there. it's working now? | 16:02 |
| grawity | soreau: Um, the consoles use 640x480. Not supporting _that_ would be insane. | 16:02 |
| soreau | stillRise: Do you see all the other directories? | 16:02 |
| mazda01 | how do i use the find command to find anything with firefox in it and I don't care what's in front or behind the filename? | 16:02 |
| HGF | mbeierl, testing now | 16:02 |
| grawity | mazda01: find /path -name '*firefox*' | 16:02 |
| HGF | mbeierl, looks like it :) | 16:03 |
| soreau | grawity: It could be some bizarre refresh rate. I wouldn't put it past the nvidia drivers to do something stupidly insane | 16:03 |
| ikonia | mazda01: find / -name '*firefox*' -print | 16:03 |
| mbeierl | does any one else have a problem with Xorg process growing in memory size? Mine's up to 544m again and won't shrink unless I restart X | 16:03 |
| grawity | ikonia: -print is the default | 16:03 |
| stillRise | soreau: yes and some with data, like WINDOWS, Program Files, etc. That one is like the only empty directory | 16:03 |
| ikonia | grawity: not for this old timer | 16:03 |
| mazda01 | ikonia, do i need the single quotes in there? | 16:03 |
| ikonia | mazda01: yes | 16:03 |
| grawity | mazda01: yes, you need | 16:03 |
| mumu | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m4f451792 | 16:03 |
| mumu | this in ./configure --help | 16:03 |
| ikonia | mumu: no joy then | 16:03 |
| mumu | only | 16:03 |
| soreau | stillRise: You have it mounted, and you're viewing the files. What you see is what is actually there | 16:03 |
| ikonia | mumu: can't disable it without hacking the script | 16:03 |
| locohost | sometimes i accidentally type sexit and it makes me giggle. | 16:04 |
| mazda01 | ikonia, and now how do I add a rm to that? | 16:04 |
| ikonia | mazda01: are you SURE you want to remove firefox ? | 16:04 |
| ikonia | mazda01: can't you remove it from the package manager to do it clean ? | 16:04 |
| mazda01 | ikonia, is it something like | xargs rm -f? yes I am sure. I am merely removing files from a backup directory tree. | 16:04 |
| ikonia | -exec rm -rf {}/; | 16:05 |
| stillRise | soreau: is there an HD tool I can run to identify bad sectors ? | 16:05 |
| grawity | mazda01: -exec rm -rf {} \; | 16:05 |
| diddy | Some of the paths in my syslog.conf have a minus sign in front of it. What does that mean? Example: -/var/log/mail.info | 16:05 |
| grawity | ikonia: er. that will remove /, no? | 16:05 |
| ikonia | mazda01: wrong slash there, thank you grawity | 16:05 |
| ikonia | typo | 16:05 |
| MaskedDriver | ikonia, dangerous typo :) | 16:05 |
| ikonia | very | 16:05 |
| soreau | stillRise: In linux, fsck is for linux native partitions like ext3 for example. For ntfs, you have to use whatever MS offers. Ask in #windows maybe | 16:05 |
| mazda01 | ikonia, so that full command is sudo find /media/500gb/backup/ -name '*firefox*' -print -exec rm -rf {} \; is that right? | 16:06 |
| grawity | ikonia: that must be why rm now requires --no-preserve-root now :) | 16:06 |
| ikonia | mazda01: looks good | 16:06 |
| ikonia | grawity: yes, praise be to coreutile | 16:06 |
| ikonia | utils | 16:06 |

| natewiebe13 | on windows it acts just like a jump drive | 16:09 |
| Dekko | Soreau: Might be interesting to point out that it DOES work if I use Twinview instead of separate X servers for dual monitors. | 16:09 |
| colbertj | soreau, grawity , thanks for your help desktop is loaded now | 16:09 |
| colbertj | yay | 16:09 |

| lesshaste | grawity, thanks | 16:10 |
| rreyes | grawity: how do I install openswan? | 16:11 |
| Dekko | Colbertj.... start nvidia-settings using terminal 'sudo nvidia-settings' and then select the resolution for your secondary monitor and click to write to your config. :) | 16:11 |
| grawity | rreyes: I don't know | 16:11 |
| Dekko | soreau: And no known workaround at all? | 16:11 |

| mazda01 | ikonia, do you know what file firefox uses for it's restore session feature? | 16:12 |
| tilted | Evolution keeps crashing on me every time a new email comes in. It's very strange. Anyone heard of this? | 16:12 |
| bakie | hi everybody :) | 16:12 |
| colbertj | dekko: it doesnt list the resolution in there, that is where i was going before | 16:12 |
| mazda01 | sash_, what "{}" do? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | mazda01: ooh, a good question, no, I'd assume something in .firefox or .mozilla in your home dir | 16:12 |
| Dekko | soreau: Hmmm the earlier ones has other bugs manifesting themselves as rendering bugs and crap. | 16:12 |
| natewiebe13 | colbertj: there are new drivers 190.18 | 16:12 |
| colbertj | If i change it to become my primary monitor it works fine | 16:12 |

| * grawity is stuck with nvidia 96.something :( | 16:13 | |
| natewiebe13 | colbertj: you should try the new drivers.. they added alot of features | 16:13 |
| sash_ | mazda01: include files like "lala blub", while without the "", you would just rm "lala" | 16:13 |
| Dekko | Soreau: Really? I think they're the best graphics chip, so you mean to say ATI is better? | 16:13 |
| grawity | Dekko: From what I've heard, ALL chips are bad on Linux, nVidia is just least bad. | 16:14 |
| soreau | Dekko: Since AMD bought ATI and are now releasing specs, by the end of this year, ATI will definitely be the way to go | 16:14 |
| dew | having problems dual installing ubuntu on to xp michine. it gets to the grub loading stag the when i select "start grub" this error comes up <windows root>/system32/hal.dll and ubuntu doesnt install. Any ideas? | 16:14 |
| tilted | soreau: Good idea, i'll see if the console tells me anything. | 16:14 |
| sash_ | mazda01: -exec rm -rf {} \; wouldnt work properly with files that have spaces in therir names | 16:14 |
| natewiebe13 | soreau: since nvidia is releasing linux drivers themselves, that is the way to go | 16:14 |
| natewiebe13 | soreau: nvidia cards are better anyways | 16:15 |
| colbertj | natewiebe13, the latest driver listed in hardware driver is the nvidia accelerated graphics driver (Version 180) | 16:15 |
| colbertj | which is the one I am using | 16:15 |
| soreau | natewiebe13: Since you don't have the first clue what you're talking about, you're wrong | 16:15 |
| frogzoo | any way to disable gnome's really ugly screen switcher graphic? | 16:15 |
| grawity | frogzoo: what screen switcher you're talking about? | 16:15 |
| natewiebe13 | colbertj: they are still beta.. but im using them.. they are great | 16:15 |
| natewiebe13 | soreau: nvidia are always better under benchmark tests | 16:15 |
| natewiebe13 | always | 16:15 |
| colbertj | well where do I find them then natewiebe13 | 16:16 |
| frogzoo | grawity: gnome - not compiz - it shows a greyed out version of the virt desktop | 16:16 |
| sash_ | mazda01: but i do not understand what you want to do with this find ... | 16:16 |
| NET||abuse | this is awsome i have to say,, all audio from the desktop piped to the latop which i have headhpones plugged into.. sound server concept wrox!!! | 16:17 |
| Leoneof | hey | 16:17 |
| natewiebe13 | colbertj: they are on nvidia's site.. but i'll check if there is a ppa | 16:17 |
| soreau | frogzoo: There is in fact a way to disable it in a gconf key.. though I can't recall which it is right off hand. It's somewhere in gconf-editor | 16:17 |
| NET||abuse | thinking of ways i can use this in a more inetersting fasion. | 16:17 |

| dsdeiz | hello how do i disable bluetooth? | 16:22 |
| deku | hola gatos | 16:22 |
| soreau | dsdeiz: Disable in what sense? | 16:22 |
| MaT-dg | coz_: yes I have, scanned removable media, not showing up | 16:22 |
| coz_ | dsdeiz, did you go to system /preferences startup apps first and disable ther | 16:22 |
| dix_ | I ran VBA to play pokemon emrald.gba and nothing happened anyone know how to fix this? | 16:22 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, mm I googled this and apparenlty many are having issues with sony music players | 16:23 |
| deku | argentina? | 16:23 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, do you have an exact model number on that device? | 16:23 |
| Leoneof | can anybody help me? how to make an icon for PPPOE connection in Desktop? | 16:23 |
| dsdeiz | soreau: from boot up i guess.. i removed "quiet" from grub menu to see what makes it slow.. "Starting bluetooth" seem to be it | 16:23 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, right click the desktop "create launcher" ? | 16:24 |
| Leoneof | coz_ , yes, and? | 16:24 |
| soreau | dsdeiz: There may be an entry in /etc/init.d that you can chmod -x to stop it from being able to execute | 16:24 |
| fanec75m | hello everybody | 16:24 |
| dsdeiz | ahh, ok let me look | 16:25 |
| MaT-dg | coz_: it's a sony NWZ-A829 | 16:25 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, well first type the name in ...then the command to run the application and then if you like. choose an icon | 16:25 |
| dsdeiz | yep, found it there. so i just do that? :S | 16:25 |
| dsdeiz | soreau: is this common in all linux distros? | 16:25 |
| Leoneof | coz_ , what is the command i must write? | 16:25 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, which application is this again? | 16:25 |
| soreau | dsdeiz: Loosely speaking, yes. So it would be 'sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/bluetooth' and alternatively +x would restore it to the executable state | 16:26 |
| Leoneof | i want to make an icon for PPPOE connection | 16:27 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, mm how do you normally access this? | 16:27 |
| Leoneof | coz_ i think it is "sudo pppoe config" ? | 16:28 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, well that would be how to config it yes | 16:28 |
| Leoneof | <~~~~newbie , coz_ | 16:28 |
| MaT-dg | coz_: according to reviews and people on forums it worked with ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27 kernel) | 16:28 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, but not access it and i may be the wrong person for this particular issue | 16:28 |
| dsdeiz | everytime rtorrent is hashing it's eating to much resources | 16:28 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, I am reading right now that someone suggested installeing Gnomad | 16:29 |
| Leoneof | ok coz_ | 16:29 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, I have no idea what that is | 16:29 |
| person | I'd like to delete an old Ubuntu installation but I'd like to remove proprietary Windows games from Wine with their proper installers so I don't get weird copy protection mechanisms stopping me installing again in the future. Trouble is, I can't get X working again, which is why I'm abandoning the installation in the first place. | 16:29 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, sorry guy but if no one else knows here.. try the #linux channel | 16:29 |
| coz_ | Leoneof, you may get a few more suggestions on this issue :) | 16:29 |
| Leoneof | coz_ thank you, i 'm there too | 16:29 |
| diddy | Where is the manpage for logrotate.conf on Ubuntu? I am getting a no manual entry error for man logrotate.conf | 16:29 |
| Leoneof | ;-) | 16:29 |
| bocautrang1077 | alo | 16:30 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, mm that doesnt look like the proper application hold on | 16:30 |
| person | X won't work because I installed an nvidia driver from nvidia's shell script installer AND from Ubuntu's repos :-( and they're conflicting. | 16:30 |
| vigo | person: Make a backup of the system settings that you want, then install fresh. | 16:30 |
| jrib | diddy: does the manpage for logrotate describe the configuration file? | 16:30 |
| MaT-dg | coz_: I found gnomad2 in the repo's, description: "Manage a Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox" | 16:30 |
| soreau | Leoneof: Right click on your desktop and select Create Launcher. Then put the command you want and title but you probably want to use gksudo instead of sudo | 16:31 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, mm sounds right | 16:31 |
| diddy | jrib: I thought so. | 16:31 |
| jrib | diddy: right, so use that? | 16:31 |

| a514 | Hi ekiga frozen? | 16:31 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, I would think also amarok but that is for kde unfortuanately | 16:31 |
| person | vigo: I've had that stuff refuse to install because I've installed it in some partition I deleted before, I think | 16:31 |
| Dekko | soreau: I wonder do you think enabling framebuffer would enable my monitor to show console properly under nvidia drivers if I set it to 1024X768 for example? | 16:31 |
| Dekko | It COULD work. | 16:32 |
| soreau | Dekko: Worth a shot, I really have no idea | 16:32 |
| a514 | I want to test Ekiga.net but the client freezes up? force quit :( | 16:32 |
| Dekko | Not @ the actual computer exhibiting the issues right now though. | 16:32 |
| vigo | person: On a fresh install, you have an option to install that or not. That is why Backups are important and that is also a good point for doing a clean install. | 16:32 |
| person | vigo: I'm not sure actually. How do games stop you from installing twice? Do the installers send off CD keys over the Internet or something? | 16:32 |

| JoeKerr | is there an easy way to download and install samba for ubunut? | 16:34 |
| person | vigo: Perhaps I should copy the .wine directory to a new install and run the uninstallers from there? | 16:34 |
| MaT-dg | coz_: gnomad2 doesn't work, "No juxeboxes found on USB-bus | 16:34 |
| soreau | JoeKerr: apt? synaptic? | 16:34 |
| coz_ | MaT-dg, damn then I dont know guy sorry you also could try in #linux | 16:35 |

| soreau | Edwardo: I'm not sure if vbox allows the guest os to talk directly to hardware | 16:37 |
| kit_ | ah, thanks | 16:37 |
| bastidrazor | fumblnoob, ask in channel, if i know the answer i'll respond | 16:37 |
| OttifantSir | Edwardo: If Ubuntu can't use the device, a Virtual Machine can't use it. It's restricted to the hardware the Host OS can supply. | 16:37 |
| Borleand | helllo... | 16:37 |

| soreau | mzz: That would be crazy awesome | 16:40 |
| xlq | jrib: that's installed too | 16:40 |
| msafi | lstarnes, ktnx. | 16:40 |
| Edwardo | I used Ubuntu's package manager | 16:40 |
| xlq | as a dependency of manpages-posix-dev | 16:40 |
| mzz | soreau: well, the obvious restriction is only one os (either host or guest) gets to use the device at a time | 16:40 |

| fanec75m | very very good os this ubuntu | 16:42 |
| ikonia | crazysoul: try to narrow it down | 16:42 |

| coz_ | VCoolio, very cool :) | 16:43 |
| ikonia | diddy: depends on y our needs | 16:43 |
| mzz | crazysoul: different linux distro or even different os does work reliably? Spontaneous reboots I'm tempted to blame on hardware | 16:43 |
| coz_ | VCoolio, well the sound stopping is very cool not the crash lol | 16:43 |
| crazysoul | what kind of hardware could make this happens? | 16:43 |

| ikonia | crazysoul: that doesn't mean anything | 16:45 |
| blackxored | ikonia, don't troll at me , it's turnkey linux appliances | 16:45 |

| ikonia | blackxored: no need to apologies | 16:47 |
| mzz | err | 16:47 |
| mzz | crazysoul: I'd expect most linux kernel-level issues to panic, not spontaneously reboot, which is why I'm focusing on some dodgy hardware combo | 16:47 |
| blackxored | ikonia, see you around then | 16:47 |
| ikonia | dew: that's commonly caused when your windows disk is not stable / clean b efore resizing | 16:47 |
| crazysoul | i see mzz | 16:47 |
| ikonia | mzz: I'm in agreement | 16:47 |

| mzz | crazysoul: (although it's possible ubuntu's configured to reboot on panic by default. I'm still pretty new to ubuntu, so someone might want to check me on this :) | 16:48 |
| ikonia | dew: thats the most common cause, but not the only | 16:48 |

| ikonia | crazysoul: again that sounds like a hardware issue, | 16:49 |
| ikonia | crazysoul: a OS crash would put stuff on screen normally | 16:49 |

| edbian | crazysoul: Sounds like bad ram to me. | 16:49 |

| ikonia | dew: yes, that is grub | 16:51 |

| ikonia | dew: so there is no option that says "start grub" | 16:51 |

| Samm | BimmeR: what mouse is it? | 16:54 |
| BimmeR | samm Logitech G9 | 16:54 |
| edbian | Houba1986: Perhaps it is trying to redirect the page and firefox won't let it. Does a drop down box appear that has an "allow" button on the far right? | 16:54 |
| Samm | BimmeR: hold on | 16:55 |

| Samm | BimmeR: What? syntax or what? | 17:09 |
| bening | Whitor: free | 17:09 |
| Bob_Dole | It is free as in beer, but not as in speech.. it's very close to it, however | 17:09 |
| zaza | ikonia But I think Ubuntu uses property software and modules in it kernel, right? | 17:09 |
| ikonia | they are the "restricted-modules" package | 17:09 |
| ikonia | they are installed by the users choice | 17:09 |

| Bob_Dole | That's why you can use the proprietary drivers, and anyone else can use the currently incomplete opensource drivers...(I use the proprietary ones, but I get bugs from them I don't like..and it's up to ATI to fix it or not..I don't like that) | 17:11 |

| koltroll | coz_, and I've changed the boot order. | 17:13 |
| koltroll | coz_, I can also press ESC upon start to get a "boot from"-menu. I get the same result from there as well. | 17:13 |

| arleslie | koltroll, Are you sure that the USB stick is bootable and the partition that your wanting to boot from has the boot flag? | 17:15 |

| coz_ | koltroll, I am not sure how to troubleshott that issue | 17:15 |

| arleslie | koltroll, then thats odd, I don't know | 17:16 |
| koltroll | arleslie, so the only thing I'm really considering atm is if the usb stick has that U3 thing | 17:16 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Hilikus: Yeah, there is no "Firefox-3.5" branding for any release of the Shiretoko branch, including the final. But it is really that big a deal? You can just right-click the launcher in the applications menu and add it to the panel. | 17:16 |

| edbian | arleslie: What do you have in there? "run_command_1" ? | 17:30 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest95111 | ||

| diddy | grawity, you are on Ubuntu? | 17:39 |
| Inf_lappy_ | oh. there's a firefox-3.5 package. even easier! :) | 17:39 |
| grawity | diddy: At the moment, yes. | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | istarnes: saves having to change browser options. It's a symlink as 3.0.11 | 17:39 |
| diddy | grawity, at other moments where? :) | 17:39 |
| lstarnes | ActionParsnip: it can still cause package breakage | 17:39 |
| grawity | diddy: Sometimes - Windows XP, when I get bored. | 17:40 |
| lstarnes | ActionParsnip: which is why you should remove the package for the old firefox before symlinking | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | istarnes: possibly | 17:40 |
| diddy | grawity, brrr | 17:40 |
| Inf_lappy_ | firefox-3.5 suggests latex-xft-fonts?! excuse me, but i'm not really seeing the connection there | 17:40 |
| superdaniel49 | dew: if the download is not from the official Ubuntu Website (www.ubuntu.com) then do not install it. I would suggest downloading it from the ubuntu website or order the cd. | 17:40 |

| Frank83 | So I just wanted to know if there is any way to disable IPV6 on Ubu9.04 without recompiling my kernel (I'm too much of a noob to mess with it) | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | peeeter: runnng irc clients as root is a really bad idea | 17:41 |
| grawity | diddy: WinXP is ugly, yes - but this laptop is too slow for Win7. | 17:41 |
| Zajjko1 | ikonia: The output is exactly the same | 17:41 |
| Zajjko1 | nameserver 192.168.0.1 | 17:41 |
| diddy | grawity, so why it the .bash_profile then used for if I can put anything into the .bashrc ? | 17:41 |
| lstarnes | Frank83: sudo modprobe -r ipv6 | 17:41 |
| Zajjko1 | afk for a few minutes (pm?) | 17:41 |
| keepguessing | i am trying to install openssh-server .. by the command apt-get install openssh-server and i get an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/227843/ ... | 17:41 |
| Frank83 | Gonna try that. | 17:41 |
| lstarnes | Frank83: you could also blacklist the modules | 17:42 |
| grawity | diddy: .bash_login/.bash_profile/.profile (in that order) are sourced when bash is started as a login shell (when you login from SSH, or on a virtual console). | 17:42 |
| dew | ikonia am trying wubi install now | 17:42 |
| dew | ikonia do i need a cd? | 17:42 |
| lstarnes | Frank83: but please make sure that it is defintiely ipv6 and definitely not something else | 17:42 |
| grawity | diddy: .bashrc is for non-login shells (such as Terminal or xterm). | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Zajjko1: so you know they are using the same dns servers then | 17:42 |
| grawity | diddy: But .bashrc is often sourced from .bash_profile too. | 17:42 |
| Inf_lappy_ | Frank83, i presume there is a boot time parameter you can pass to the kernel as well with GRUB (haven't fiddled with that myself in a looong time though) | 17:42 |
| ikonia | dew: that helps for cd installs, yes | 17:42 |

| Frank83 | Lstarnes Yes, I am pretty sure It's IPV6. I allways need to disable it everytime I install Ubuntu. My ISP doesn't get along with IPV6 | 17:43 |
| NET||abuse | what else can i do to get the eth0 back working? | 17:43 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: sudo apt-get update first | 17:43 |
| Cube | lstarnes: with the ubuntuzilla script | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: run dmesg | tail just after it dies | 17:43 |

| albano | i've installed ati drivers and after install i restarted and the image didnt resume and the screen saz aut of range how can i reconfigure the xorg | 17:51 |
| felidae | keepguessing: system->administration->software sources | 17:51 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: how did you upgrade ? | 17:51 |
| superdaniel49 | geoff__: try downloading Opera from the official website in the .deb format and see if that will work | 17:51 |
| K-Zodron | Hey, I just installed ubuntu and I just can't get this crappy wlan to work, I got belkin F5D7050, it detects it and all, but I can't find any networks nor connect to any, also tried ndiswrapper - help? | 17:51 |
| diddy | ikonia, OK | 17:51 |
| grawity | diddy: you don't need to export HISTFILESIZE, as it's just used internally by bash | 17:52 |
| grawity | diddy: just add the line HISTFILESIZE=12345 to .bashrc | 17:52 |
| keepguessing | ikonia: it is a fresh installation | 17:52 |
| felidae | keepguessing: then you should remove the source which don't fit your ubuntu release number. your release number seems to be 8.04 (Hardy). remove the feisty related sources | 17:52 |
| diddy | grawity, yes it is already in there. | 17:52 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: where did you download the cd ? | 17:52 |
| diddy | grawity, it was just an example | 17:52 |
| keepguessing | felidae: I have jaunty installed | 17:52 |

| Padhu | I am asking GUI tool for samba for the people who are new one to linux. This question arose during writing ubuntu startup guide in my own language | 17:53 |
| keepguessing | from ubuntu website .... | 17:53 |
| grawity | Padhu: For configuring Samba, system-config-samba. | 17:53 |
| ikonia | dew: no - it shouldn't | 17:53 |
| ikonia | dew: you should just read it properly - the info is for ubuntu 5 | 17:53 |
| ikonia | dew: and it clearly says this in the first post | 17:53 |
| keepguessing | felidae: ikonia http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Manually_add_repositories is this the right list of repositories ?? | 17:53 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: I would re-install | 17:54 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: if your sources.list file is wrong, no idea what else could be wrong | 17:54 |
| gmoss | Hi, can someone please tell me why the following line in my fstab does not auto-mount my internal fat32 partition? /dev/sda6 /media/disk-1 vfat defaults 0 0 | 17:54 |
| keepguessing | ikonia: I have got it from the ubuntu website | 17:54 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: I find it hard to believe this is a clean install though | 17:54 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: as you've got to fesity repositories at the bottom of the sources.list | 17:54 |
| felidae | please post your /etc/lsb-release | 17:54 |
| magnetron | gmoss: are they separated with tab characters? | 17:54 |
| felidae | keepguessing: please post your /etc/lsb-release | 17:54 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: I think you should explain how they got there | 17:54 |
| geoff__ | superdaniel49: That's what I'm saying, I have a choice between the .deb for ubuntu7 i386 and the .deb for ubuntu9 x86-64 | 17:54 |
| keepguessing | ikonia: I have no idea ... | 17:55 |
| gmoss | magnetron: no, spaces - should they be? my other entries have spaces... | 17:55 |
| Padhu | Gravity: Thanks. I will try it. | 17:55 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: please post lsb_release -a | 17:55 |
| magnetron | gmoss: they should be tab characters | 17:55 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: I don't think your being %100 honest here | 17:55 |

| keepguessing | felidea http://paste.ubuntu.com/227915/ | 17:55 |

| navetz | how do I add www-data to my main user group? | 17:56 |
| mikejet | Is the firefox/youtube/fullscreen bug fixed yet? | 17:56 |
| OttifantSir | gmoss: I'm not sure, but likely because you don't mount to a directory within /media/ , only to /media/ Make a directory with a name of something you want, or simply sda6, then add that directory after /media/ in fstab, without the trailing / So it could /media/sda6 but not /media/sda6/ | 17:56 |
| keepguessing | ikonia: i am telling u what it is ... now i do not have to prove it ... | 17:56 |
| lstarnes | navetz: sudo gpasswd -a USERNAME GROUPNAME | 17:56 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: have you used any tools like automatix, something like that ? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: have you run any software on this machine | 17:56 |
| mikejet | Firefox crashes when loading this page: newwestnotes.com | 17:57 |
| keepguessing | ikonia: i have only tried to build perl 5.8.8 on this one | 17:57 |
| geoff__ | lstarnes: i686 and 7 | 17:57 |
| felidae | keepguessing: so your sources are completely messed up. maybe your system is not yet broken. replace the sources.list with the standard one. e.g. http://paste.ubuntu.com/227918/ | 17:57 |
| gmoss | magnetron: great, thanks for your help! | 17:58 |
| lstarnes | geoff__: 7 isn't a valid version | 17:58 |
| keepguessing | felidae: thanks for the suggestion .. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Manually_add_repositories <<< This url contains some sample sources are they alright to be used | 17:58 |
| lstarnes | geoff__: is it 7.10 or 7.04? | 17:58 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: no - | 17:58 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: I strongly advise you re-install | 17:58 |
| felidae | keepguessing: yes | 17:59 |
| ikonia | keepguessing: I think your CD is not a proper ubuntu install cd - as 3rd party repo's are NOT corruption | 17:59 |
| jthomas | hi guys | 17:59 |
| geoff__ | lstarnes: I run linuxmint 7 which is based on ubuntu 9.04 | 17:59 |
| jthomas | both of my shift keys are completely nonfunctional | 17:59 |
| ikonia | geoff__: then this is not the place to get support | 17:59 |
| Pici | !mintsupport | geoff__ | 18:00 |
| ubottu | geoff__: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org | 18:00 |
| jthomas | does anybody know how to fix this/ | 18:00 |
| ikonia | geoff__: linux mint has it's own support resources | 18:00 |
| felidae | keepguessing: ikonia is right, reinstall is probably better | 18:00 |
| jthomas | or why it might have happened | 18:00 |
| lstarnes | geoff__: I don't think we support mint here | 18:00 |
| navetz | lstarnes: thanks | 18:00 |
| keepguessing | hmm ikonia I shall keep your suggestions in consideration if I face more issues ... thanks for your suggestions ... felidae thanks for your suggestions too ... I would replace the source.list and check if things work .. | 18:00 |
| geoff__ | I know, but there aren't enough people on the mint channel | 18:00 |
| gmoss | next question: a few days ago the SCIM icon appeared of its own will and started changing the keyboard layout to asian languages - all I have installed are english and russian. Anyone know what is going on, and what I can do to stop this behavior? Thanks for your help! | 18:01 |
| Pici | geoff__: And yet it still not supported in this channel. | 18:01 |
| ikonia | geoff__: that's not something ubuntu is responsible for | 18:01 |
| lstarnes | geoff__: this channel is solely for official ubuntu releases | 18:01 |
| albano | can somone help me my screen says out of range how can i reconfigure? | 18:01 |
| geoff__ | it would probably taken you guys less time to just answer my questions instead of repeating that you don't support mint users | 18:01 |
| ikonia | geoff__: doesn't matter - it's not supported here | 18:01 |
| ikonia | geoff__: please respect that | 18:01 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest95444 | ||

| Pici | ethereality: You may want to ask in #latex for starters | 18:05 |
| ikonia | !minimal | Spikemcc | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Spikemcc: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:05 |
| koro | ethereality: did you try without the fragile option? | 18:05 |
| koro | just to identify whether the verbatim or fragile are causing the problem | 18:06 |

| C_House | sorry | 18:08 |
| grawity | diddy: If bash doesn't find ~/.bash_login, it looks for ~/.bash_profile. If that doesn't exist either, bash looks for ~/.profile | 18:08 |

| Houba1986 | Hi, I'm having a problem with my Firefox v. 3.0.12 on Ubuntu 9.04. It won't load any pages that contain SSL. (ie. When I go to login to Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc..) It say it's loading but nothing loads. How do I fix this? These sites work fine on my other computers running Windows... so I know there's no problem with my internet connection or router... | 18:09 |
| ethereality | koro: Does the [option] go before or after the {argument}? | 18:09 |
| Spikemcc | debian for server or desktop without crap ... ubuntu if you want easy, you could use the minimal cd to customize it and lean it ... debian packages are older then ubuntu ones ... | 18:09 |
| diddy | grawity, so you are saying if there is a ~/.bash_profile then we don't need a ~/.profile but not the other way around? | 18:09 |
| CrocoJet | np | 18:09 |
| gmoss | CrocoJet: you don't need the UUID, you can still do it the way the older fstab did, with the /dev/... entry | 18:09 |
| koro | ethereality: in this case it should look like this: \begin{frame}[fragile] | 18:09 |
| ikonia | Spikemcc: tha'ts offtopic here | 18:09 |
| grawity | diddy: bash only uses one of them anyway. | 18:09 |
| philpem | Houba1986, do you have a firewall set up (or a router between you and the internet)? | 18:09 |
| koro | ethereality: i mean, \begin{frame}[containsverbatim] | 18:09 |
| CrocoJet | gmoss, ok | 18:10 |
| grawity | diddy: Use the one you prefer. | 18:10 |
| bcmorr2 | I'm looking for some help- My ALSAmixer won't let me mute my mic playback, and the slider is attached to my Mic Capture slider | 18:10 |
| philpem | Houba1986, it sounds like something is blocking SSL | 18:10 |
| gmoss | CrocoJet: so like /dev/sda2 /media/partition_2 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 | 18:10 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: No, I don't. It was all working fine until yesterday, I don't know what happened. | 18:10 |
| ikonia | CrocoJet: just "sudo blkid" | 18:10 |
| philpem | Houba1986, did you install or remove any software yesterday? | 18:10 |
| CrocoJet | ikonia, how this program blkid calcule or find these values ? | 18:10 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: No, nothing... Is there a way to reinstall firefox? Maybe that would fix the problem? | 18:11 |
| ikonia | CrocoJet: it's just a unique identifier | 18:11 |
| CrocoJet | ok | 18:11 |
| diddy | grawity, so if we wouldn't source the .bashrc file in the .bash_profile file then the .bashrc wouldn't have any effect on users that log in via SSH, right? | 18:11 |
| ethereality | koro: It appears that allows code to be written in typewriter form, but it corrupts the \pause command I had entered such that the second column in the slide is never displayed. | 18:11 |
| bcmorr2 | I'm looking for some help- My ALSAmixer won't let me mute my mic playback, and the slider is attached to my Mic Capture slider | 18:11 |

| heatmzzr | What is the best website design software in ubuntu for a newbie? | 18:12 |
| philpem | Houba1986, Probably worth doing a few quick checks first. Open FF, then go to https://www.gmail.com . You should at least get a login page, even if you don't have a Gmail account it's a good test. | 18:12 |
| grawity | diddy: yep | 18:12 |
| koro | ethereality: yes, i read in the manual that you cannot use overlays (stuff like pause/etc) when there is [containsverbatim] | 18:12 |
| philpem | (Google is rarely, if ever, down) | 18:12 |
| ethereality | heatmzzr: I'd really say gedit and learning at www.w3schools.com | 18:12 |
| diddy | grawity, Thx | 18:12 |
| koro | ethereality: apparently there is a way of doing it, but it's more complicate, lemme check | 18:12 |
| ikonia | heatmzzr: web design software is actually quite limited on linux - it comes down to personal preference, look at screem and quanta in the repos, | 18:12 |
| gmoss | a few days ago the SCIM icon appeared of its own will and started changing the keyboard layout to asian languages - all I have installed are english and russian. Anyone know what is going on, and what I can do to stop this behavior? Thanks for your help! | 18:13 |
| Syrioth | heatmzzr: i found something called screem if thts any use | 18:13 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: yes, that works, and i can login and view my inbox... but when i click on any email to open it, it won't open :S | 18:13 |
| defrysk | heath|home, maybe compozer is what you are looking for | 18:14 |
| philpem | Houba1986, that's odd. So it's not a question of "SSL doesn't work", more "links from SSL sites don't work". | 18:14 |
| heatmzzr | thanks all | 18:14 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: i get an error saying: Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an Internet connectivity problem. If this problem persists, try reloading the page, using https, using the older version, or using basic HTML mode. Learn More. | 18:14 |
| defrysk | that should be kompozer | 18:14 |
| * Dekko wonders if there is a way for me to have color during boot (verbose text boot under framebuffer) :) | 18:14 | |
| koro | ethereality: ok this is the suggested way: | 18:15 |

| taneli | karmic has been broken for a few weeks now, why no session is started after logging to x? All i get is the background picture ... | 18:15 |
| philpem | Houba1986, What I'd do is try resetting your Firefox profile, but you'll lose your bookmarks and any plugins you've installed. | 18:15 |
| philpem | Houba1986, exception being if you've installed something like Xmarks in which case you'll just lose the plugins | 18:16 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: that's not a problem, how do i do that? | 18:16 |
| koro | ethereality: damn, this is going to be annoying to exaplin, let me get you a pastebin link | 18:16 |
| jon_davis | does anybody know how to get seamonkey to work on a ubuntu linux os | 18:16 |
| defrysk | taneli, /j #ubuntu+1 | 18:16 |
| jon_davis | i got it but it needs to update it | 18:16 |
| philpem | Houba1986, What variant of ubuntu are you using, normal ubuntu, kubuntu, or something else? | 18:16 |
| jon_davis | i have also tryd | 18:16 |
| taneli | defrysk: danke | 18:16 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: normal ubuntu | 18:17 |
| ethereality | thanks, koro <3 | 18:17 |
| philpem | Houba1986, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. | 18:17 |
| jon_davis | i got ubunu linux 9.04 | 18:17 |
| Spikemcc | jon_davis sudo apt-get install seamonkey | 18:17 |
| philpem | Houba1986, you should now have a black box with something like "yourusername@yourmachinesname:~$ " in it. | 18:17 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: alright, i opened up the terminal, what do i need to type in? | 18:17 |
| Spikemcc | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:18 |
| philpem | Houba1986, first close mozilla (sorry, should have told you to do that first) | 18:18 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: yeah, i had done that already | 18:18 |
| philpem | Houba1986, then the command you want is: mv .mozilla .OLD_mozilla | 18:18 |
| === Ambri is now known as Kinetic | ||
| philpem | Houba1986, in other words, rename the ".mozilla" directory to ".OLD_mozilla" | 18:19 |
| koro | ethereality: this is an example of the alternative way (that allows using pause/etc). Basically you have to use "\defverbatim" to define a command that inserts the verbatim text inside the frame: http://pastebin.com/m76db37fe | 18:19 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: ok, did that | 18:19 |
| philpem | Houba1986, once you've done that, close the terminal and open firefox again. | 18:19 |
| koro | ethereality: so you wouldn't use [containsverbatim] (in fact you must not use it, otherwise the "pause" will still break things) | 18:19 |
| jon_davis | ok now what do i do.i think it did up date it | 18:19 |
| nfodude | quit | 18:20 |
| resno | Looking for help gettnig dns to resolve with analog. | 18:20 |
| Zajjko1 | How do I override the Automatic DNS:s assigned by the router? I'm supposed to edit the dhclient.conf file as far as I've understood, but when googeling it I only come up with command line options for dhclient | 18:20 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: hmmm, ok, facebook now works, but gmail still doesn't work.... | 18:21 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: well, facebook allowed me to login, but when i click any link, my inbox for example, it doesn't load... | 18:22 |
| jon_davis | seamonkey is still saying that it need's to be up-date'd.evert time that i hite the seamonkey buttion | 18:22 |
| philpem | Houba1986, hmm, odd. that sounds more like something in the network path is broken | 18:23 |
| jon_davis | so what do i do | 18:23 |
| irocksu | hi | 18:23 |
| [nrx] | hi | 18:23 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: it works fine on my computers running windows though... | 18:23 |
| fccf | Zajjko1: have you looked at man dhclient.conf ... and man dhclient ... two differnet manuals | 18:24 |
| irocksu | is the jaunty ati problem fixed yet? | 18:24 |
| ethereality | Thanks, koro and Pici :) | 18:24 |
| grawity | irocksu: depends on what ATi problem you mean. | 18:24 |
| j2daosh | ok, i got a friend who has ubuntu and the speakers work but her headphones dont. any ideas? | 18:24 |
| Zajjko1 | fccf: feeling doenright stupid right about now : ( | 18:24 |
| Zajjko1 | whoops | 18:24 |
| Zajjko1 | : ) | 18:24 |
| irocksu | there is this nasty bug in xserver that slows ati cards | 18:25 |
| philpem | Houba1986, open that terminal again and type: wget -O /dev/null http://www.google.com/ | 18:25 |
| irocksu | so you have to wait for like 3 seconds to alt+tab to another app | 18:25 |
| jon_davis | does anybody know about seamonkey.that can help me out | 18:25 |
| fccf | Zajjko1: no worries... I am the guy that looks for people's stupid mistakes, and corrects them | 18:25 |
| philpem | Houba1986, that'll try and download the Google home page, but won't save it | 18:25 |
| Zajjko1 | haha | 18:25 |
| Syrioth | hey guys i've heard a bit about sea monkey is it any good??? | 18:25 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: ok, did that | 18:25 |
| philpem | Houba1986, does that work? | 18:25 |
| Zajjko1 | fccf: I didn't know we had a guy for that. Amazing! | 18:26 |
| j2daosh | hey | 18:26 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: yes, it works | 18:26 |
| j2daosh | i need to know why headphones won't work but speakers do | 18:26 |
| damaltor | hello everybody. i have a huge problem: i just typed a LOT with abiword, but did not save. i then had a complete lockup, and had to hard-reset the computer. now i wanted to open the document.bak~ file wich abiword automatically saves every 5 minutes, but how do i do this? directly opening it doesnt seem to work, abiword only reports an error. the file seems complete (ends with </abiword>), but how do i open it? | 18:26 |
| philpem | Houba1986, so you got "/dev/null saved [6085]" at the end? | 18:26 |
| j2daosh | the headphones aren't broke either | 18:26 |
| j2daosh | they work fine on another system | 18:26 |

| Zajjko1 | fccf: : what? One that always copies the nickname followed by "have you checked the man-page for that?" | 18:27 |
| philpem | Houba1986, probably not a big deal; you probably connected to a different server in the "google cloud" | 18:27 |
| colbertj | but that didnt do anything | 18:27 |
| grawity | colbertj: you could press Ctrl-Alt-F2 -- that won't exit the existing session, just switch to the second virtual console, but that is probably what you need. | 18:27 |

| philpem | Houba1986, most of the dependencies will be libraries, but it might be worth leaving purge on anyway | 18:33 |

| Syrioth | xFlux - thanks anyway | 18:35 |
| denny | 8.04 was the last version of ubuntu to include the version of Xorg that supported multiple cards | 18:35 |
| philpem | Houba1986, the first one of those cleans the package cache, the second grabs the latest package list | 18:35 |
| denny | you can run dual-monitor from a single card with the newer versions, but not multi-card, so not three+ screens generally | 18:35 |
| philpem | Houba1986, after those finish, sudo apt-get install firefox firefox-gnome-support | 18:36 |

| pintook | how do i deactivate my single click, where do i go | 18:36 |
| denny | what monitor do you have? | 18:36 |

| philpem | Houba1986, And you're running Ubuntu 9.04? | 19:01 |
| nsahoo | aren't google chrome fonts anti-aliased ? | 19:01 |
| === foo_ is now known as wizz | ||
| arleslie | nsahoo, they made google chrome for linux? | 19:02 |
| === ericG_ is now known as ericG | ||
| Houba1986 | philpem: yes, i am | 19:02 |
| streblo | lieuwe, this could mean one of several things | 19:02 |
| nsahoo | arleslie: yup | 19:03 |
| streblo | it could be that the usb stick you're using is messed up | 19:03 |
| philpem | lieuwe, I/O errors on fd0 and sr0? those are floppy disk and CD devices, first of each and pretty normal IMO. | 19:03 |
| streblo | or that it wasnt formatted properly (which doesnt sound like the case if you've tried doing this multiple times) | 19:03 |
| streblo | philpem, he's trying to boot from a usb stick | 19:03 |
| lieuwe | streblo: just 1 month old, shouldn't be messed up :P | 19:03 |
| casey | i'm runing 9.04 and i'm trying to get primssion for some root directorty | 19:03 |
| colbertj | finally got the driver installed | 19:03 |
| jennamisguest444 | casey | 19:03 |
| jennamisguest444 | do su | 19:04 |
| jennamisguest444 | root pass | 19:04 |
| colbertj | but that didnt fix the problem | 19:04 |
| jennamisguest444 | ch /dirgoes/here | 19:04 |
| arleslie | nsahoo, how do I get it, because on the google chrome site, it says its still its only windows | 19:04 |
| philpem | Houba1986, at this point I'm tempted to go with either "a system library is screwed up" or "your ISP is doing something screwy" | 19:04 |
| j2daosh | what is the progrma that will allow camming like msn? | 19:04 |
| grawity | jennamisguest444: In Ubuntu, root is locked by default. | 19:04 |
| j2daosh | pidgin? | 19:04 |
| philpem | Houba1986, what ISP are you using? | 19:04 |
| streblo | casey, what are you doing? | 19:04 |
| grawity | j2daosh: aMSN? Empathy? | 19:04 |
| jennamisguest444 | uh | 19:04 |
| colbertj | i wonder if i could manually add the resolution into xorg for the secondary display | 19:04 |
| jennamisguest444 | i have ubuntu | 19:04 |
| j2daosh | empathy | 19:04 |
| j2daosh | thats right :D | 19:04 |
| jennamisguest444 | and thats what i use. | 19:04 |
| j2daosh | thank you | 19:04 |
| jthomas | hi, i want to remove the last character of each line printed by grep | 19:04 |
| casey | chagneing root primssions | 19:04 |
| jthomas | what linux command should i use | 19:04 |
| casey | i tryed | 19:05 |
| jthomas | e.g. grep ... | [some cmd] | 19:05 |
| casey | /media/ chmod 774 | 19:05 |
| casey | bash: /media/: is a directory | 19:05 |
| grawity | jennamisguest444: By default, all Ubuntu installations come with root account locked and the first user added to sudoers. The Ubuntu way is 'sudo -s' | 19:05 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: i don't think it's a problem with the isp, since 2 other computers running windows aren't having this problem | 19:05 |
| philpem | jthomas, sed probably does what you want | 19:05 |
| grawity | jthomas: | sed 's/.$//g' | 19:05 |
| grawity | jthomas: Don't forget the single quotes. | 19:05 |
| lieuwe | streblo:with ubuntu 8.10 it was solvable with some weird advanced options(something like simple_ide=1)... | 19:05 |
| philpem | Houba1986, Only other thing I can think of is the sites you're using are looking for (e.g.) Macromedia Flash and falling over because it's either not installed or broken | 19:06 |
| jennamisguest444 | ya know. | 19:06 |
| arleslie | casey, sudo chmod /media/ 774 | 19:06 |
| mohraibat | how do i copy file frm a another machine to min using a terminal ??? | 19:06 |
| jennamisguest444 | i might be running debian now. | 19:06 |
| mbeierl | casey: it would be "chmod 744 /media" | 19:06 |
| mohraibat | mine* | 19:06 |
| colbertj | dells support site is down | 19:06 |
| colbertj | strange | 19:06 |
| philpem | Houba1986, but I'm pretty sure Gmail is AJAX-based (i.e. HTML, Javascript, CSS and a bit of XML) | 19:06 |
| colbertj | i'm trying to see what model of the nvidia quatro graphics card i have | 19:07 |
| grawity | jennamisguest444: what? | 19:07 |
| streblo | lieuwe, how old is your pc | 19:07 |
| jennamisguest444 | i never use sudo | 19:07 |
| casey | ok | 19:07 |
| nsahoo | arleslie: http://blog.chromium.org/2009/06/danger-mac-and-linux-builds-available.html | 19:07 |
| lieuwe | streblo:not THAT old, it isn't beige :-P, don't really know, 3-5 years... | 19:07 |
| jennamisguest444 | but maybe im not running ubuntu any more lol | 19:07 |
| philpem | Houba1986, if you've still got the terminal open, can you post the output of: uname -a | 19:07 |
| grawity | jennamisguest444: Then just do 'sudo passwd root' and continue using 'su' as long as you want. | 19:07 |
| colbertj | does anyone know if i can manually add a resolution for a secondary monitor | 19:07 |
| colbertj | with an NVIDIA graphics card | 19:07 |
| arleslie | nsahoo, thanks! | 19:07 |
| streblo | lieuwe, have you tried booting with this usb device on another pc | 19:08 |
| nsahoo | arleslie: it's been a month and half, but, today they got plugin (flash) support in | 19:08 |
| edbian | colbertj: You should be able to by editing your xorg.conf | 19:08 |
| Houba1986 | philpem, Linux Houba 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 19:08 |
| lieuwe | streblo:not yet, but i don't really have acces to any pc other than this one... | 19:08 |
| linduxed | whats the difference between a system group and a user group? | 19:08 |
| philpem | Houba1986, well that just shot my last suspicion out of the water. there are known issues with Flash on 64-bit x86 systems, but you're running on i686 (which is 32-bit x86) | 19:09 |
| colbertj | edbian do you know what I would put in? | 19:09 |
| colbertj | my monitor is a 1280x1024 | 19:09 |
| colbertj | currently it displays 1024x768 | 19:10 |
| philpem | Houba1986, at this point I'd probably start investigating with Wireshark, but that sort of thing requires a fair bit of knowledge about TCP/IP networking | 19:10 |

| q0_0p | the link is not executable | 19:13 |
| q0_0p | it fails to load | 19:14 |

| philpem | Houba1986, Here's an idea. Try a completely different web browser, as in, not Firefox (or based on the same engine). | 19:14 |

| edbian | q0_0p: If you open a terminal and type "swiftweasel" does it run? | 19:21 |
| q0_0p | edbian, i assume putting it in /usr/bin it would run in terminal | 19:21 |
| q0_0p | edbian, that was my purpose | 19:21 |
| edbian | q0_0p: What command do you run to start swiftweasel? | 19:21 |
| q0_0p | edbian, instead of going to that folder every single time to run it | 19:21 |
| q0_0p | edbian, ./swiftweasel | 19:22 |

| fission6 | is there any vmware programs i can use to conenct to vm machines for windows testing | 19:23 |
| edbian | q0_0p: firstly you it is common practice to place the exectuable in /usr/local/bin (cause it is local). The command would be: "sudo ln -(whatever you had here) /home/q0_0p/<swiftweaselfolder>/swiftweasel /usr/local/bin | 19:23 |
| edbian | Understand? | 19:23 |
| q0_0p | edbian, i understand | 19:23 |

| edbian | q0_0p: Try it and tell me if it works. | 19:23 |

| Padhu | vr_mex: tar tvzf test.tgz | more shows the content with its absolute path. you can extract single file from tar archive like this manner. | 19:24 |
| edbian | q0_0p: But if you have hand compilied things you should put them in /usr/local/bin. You can put them in /usr/bin I don't think it will mess anything up | 19:24 |

| drewby | what sorting function does array.sort implement? | 19:26 |
| edbian | q0_0p: Make sure the link it pointing to the correct place. Make sure the link is exectuable | 19:26 |

| q0_0p | edbian, ln -s? | 19:26 |
| ibuclaw | drewby, which language? | 19:26 |
| q0_0p | edbian, for making links | 19:27 |
| drewby | javascript, any browser | 19:27 |
| edbian | q0_0p: I don't remember. What does the -s flag do? ln is the correct command though. | 19:27 |

| arcanefoam | hello, I am trying to rescan my scsi bus. I've found the "echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan" command, but it seems to do nothing. Any ideas? | 19:28 |
| philpem | fission6, generally speaking, most software that says "for linux" will run on any distribution of linux. including the vmware linux client. | 19:28 |
| Padhu | vr_mex: goto /home/here. then #tar xvzf /home/place/test.tgz mention file name with absolute path | 19:28 |
| edbian | q0_0p: Then that is correct. Plus "ls | grep swift" showed it which mean there is a link in /usr/local/bin. Use ls -l to make sure it's pointing to the right place and it is exectuable. | 19:28 |
| q0_0p | edbian, ln -n?? -n no-deference treat destination that is a symlink to a directory as it were a normal file? | 19:28 |
| ibuclaw | drewby, I'm not a javascript programmer, but this page should answer all queries: http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/arraysort.shtml | 19:28 |

| q0_0p | edbian, yeah something doesn't look right | 19:29 |
| edbian | q0_0p: I think maybe you should make a new link without the -n flag. I don't really understand what it's saying but I don't think you need it. | 19:29 |
| Slart | resno: I would go with nvidia.. | 19:29 |
| PROject-Emerald | Anyone? | 19:30 |
| edbian | q0_0p: Also soft links are the default so you don't really need the -s flag either ;) | 19:30 |
| q0_0p | edbian, i did ln -s and i did ln -l to see where link goes to. looks like this swiftweasel -> swiftweasel | 19:30 |
| q0_0p | edbian, ah | 19:30 |
| ibuclaw | drewby, stable? how so? | 19:30 |
| vr_mex | Padhu, right but i get in /home/here/test i need to get /home/test/allthe files in test should go here | 19:30 |
| resno | Slart: is there a listing of supported video cards? | 19:30 |
| philpem | resno, I've got an ATI card in my HTPC and an nVidia in my desktop. The nVidia is more stable under Linux. | 19:30 |
| ibuclaw | drewby, I would not of thought that an interpreter would crash if you were to sort an array | 19:30 |
| edbian | q0_0p: the link is pointing to it's self? Show me the command you ran to make the link (you can take out your home folder name if you want) | 19:30 |

| drewby | ibuclaw: You know, means that elements which evaluate to equal according to the sorting algorithm are not rearragned relative to eachother. | 19:31 |

| ibuclaw | drewby, I would not of thought so. But I don't know how every language is implemented. | 19:32 |
| edbian | q0_0p: Is the folder called .swiftweasel? With a pre-ceding "." ? Or is that the notation for /home/you/ ? | 19:33 |
| vr_mex | Padhu_1, no | 19:33 |
| q0_0p | the folder is called .swiftweasel | 19:33 |

| q0_0p | edbian, k | 19:34 |
| philpem | PROject-Emerald, if you want to do audio burning, then IIRC there's a way to do it with brasero and cdrecord, or you can write a cuesheet and use cdrdao | 19:34 |
| lesshaste | when I go to http://www.izyt.com/BooleanLogic/applet.php it tells me I don't have java... but I thought I did | 19:34 |

| Houba1986 | philpem: any suggestions? | 19:47 |
| philpem | Houba1986, try the same thing with 'ifconfig -a' (without the quotes). | 19:47 |
| q0_0p | edbian, im pretty sure it wasn't a typo. must be the option i did for ln | 19:47 |

| edbian | q0_0p: Perhaps. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Making the link via GUI literally just calls the ln program so the program is in working order. It probably was just the flags. | 19:47 |
| ibuclaw | error404notfound, you could try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/228179/plain/ | 19:48 |
| q0_0p | edbian, i just wanted to learn without gui ^^ | 19:48 |

| _u2pop_ | th0r i installed but didnt show all that gkrellm | 19:49 |
| edbian | q0_0p: OIC. Than that is rather dissappointing. Well just delete the link in /usr/local/bin and make a new one via cli! At least now you know it absolutely will work you just have to figure out the terminal commands :) | 19:49 |
| q0_0p | edbian, still trying haha | 19:49 |

| xTheGoat121x | philpem, when you say 'short order,' are we talking days, weeks? | 19:56 |
| grawity | philpem: I have NTFS on mine, and I think the flashdrives of today are much more reliable. | 19:56 |
| c_wraith | xTheGoat121x: If you want a linux filesystem that plays nicely with SSDs, check out NILFS | 19:56 |
| grawity | xTheGoat121x: More like months? | 19:56 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: i'm thinking i might just have to reinstall ubuntu all together :S | 19:57 |
| q0_0p | edbian, i figured out my problem | 19:57 |
| edbian | dew If you google "ext3 from windows" or something similar you'll find one of the many apps that let you read ext3 partitions inside windows. Then you can just look at /home to see what folders are in there (there should be one for each user) | 19:57 |
| philpem | xTheGoat121x, More likely months/years. It'll still be shorter than just using ext2, though. | 19:57 |
| edbian | andry_: Yes | 19:57 |
| philpem | Houba1986, Might be worth a try, though I wouldn't suggest it as a primary option. | 19:57 |
| xTheGoat121x | philpem, alright. So I'm probably better off using ext2 on my netbook? | 19:57 |
| edbian | q0_0p: O yeah? What was it?? | 19:57 |
| q0_0p | edbian, sadly to say; i "cd" into the folder and did ln -s swiftweasel when i should've ln -s /home/pan/swiftweasel/swiftweasel | 19:57 |
| Houba1986 | philpem: sorry, got logged out, what was that last msg you sent? | 19:58 |
| dew | hey all. how can i find my username as i must have miss typo it and can not log in to ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| q0_0p | edbian, that's y it made the symbolic link swiftweasel | 19:58 |
| philpem | xTheGoat121x, yes if it's SSD based. Only thing about ext2 is it's more susceptible to filesystem damage if the power fails during a disk write. | 19:58 |
| grawity | xTheGoat121x: I'd say ext3. Flash drives are more reliable today than they were; and netbooks even more so. | 19:58 |
| edbian | q0_0p: Silly q0_0p. lol | 19:58 |
| q0_0p | edbian, so you have to put in the full path | 19:58 |
| q0_0p | edbian, can't just go into the folder and type in the name | 19:58 |
| philpem | Houba1986, A reinstall might be worth a try but I wouldn't suggest it as the first solution. | 19:58 |
| u2pop | what is another tool similar like gkrellm ? | 19:58 |
| edbian | q0_0p: Yeah | 19:58 |

| philpem | dravekx_, #debian | 20:03 |
| edbian | dravekx_: IMHO yes. But many people here (in the ubuntu channel) probably disagree. | 20:03 |
| adam7 | philpem: don't know about that; on mine it says the version is 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 | 20:04 |

| vix | i am trying to run ubuntu 7.10 on a 7yr old machine with 256mb ram and its dying, 85%memory usage. | 20:06 |
| adam7 | philpem: flashplugin-installer | 20:06 |
| adam7 | !info flashplugin-installer | 20:07 |
| ubottu | flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 18 kB, installed size 176 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 20:07 |

| philpem | adam7, hmm. interesting. I've got flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.22.87 but they depend on nspluginwrapper and the ia32 libs | 20:08 |
| philpem | adam7, in other words, 32-bit plugin inside the wrapper | 20:08 |
| adam7 | philpem: you're right | 20:08 |
| adam7 | why is that? | 20:08 |
| vix | help? | 20:08 |
| wereHamster | does anyone have experience with kickstart? When I start the minimal install cd without options it detects the network card just fine. When I supply ks=http://foo/ks.cfg to the kernel command line then it fails to detect the network card. | 20:08 |

| xTheGoat121x | One other question -- I'm going to convert my ext3 SSD and SD partitions to ext2 -- but what about the 'noatime' flag in fstab? Should I drop that? | 20:08 |
| adam7 | I always thought since I was on x64 they'd give us the x64 version instead of the x32 one in a hack | 20:08 |
| philpem | adam7, because the adobe x64 plugin is still classed as alpha? :) | 20:09 |
| adam7 | but it worsk better =/ | 20:09 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: why are you going to convert them to ext2? | 20:09 |
| philpem | adam7, I'd ask the developer responsible (in this case one of the MOTUs but I can't be bothered looking on launchpad to find out who) | 20:09 |
| meho_r | vix, did you try xubuntu or some lighter distro like puppy? | 20:09 |
| superdaniel49_ | hey can anyone here help me with setting up a My Space IM Account on Pidgin? | 20:09 |
| lars_bauer | /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required) ? howto fix | 20:09 |
| xTheGoat121x | adam7, b/c they're both flash-based media, and I can't have them die on me b/c of ext3's journaling | 20:09 |
| adam7 | philpem: no point; it's classed as alpha as you say, so even though it works better we don't get to use it | 20:10 |
| vix | no, i was wondering if 256 is sufficient for 7.10 | 20:10 |
| vix | i thought i t would be | 20:10 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: you are aware that if there is a power failure, it may corrupt the disk if you don't have journaling? | 20:10 |
| c0m3awn | If anyone ever have problems with keymappings in console type sudo loadkeys us | 20:10 |
| philpem | adam7, it's still only a 2 second job to install it.. one .so file in /usr/share/<somewhere> | 20:10 |

| superdaniel49_ | anyone here know how to set up a My Space IM account with Pidgin? | 20:11 |
| Xerran | thx | 20:11 |
| adam7 | vix: open synaptic and then mark the packages you want to install, then clicked apply. when it asks you to confirm, it will tell you | 20:11 |

| === mentor_ is now known as Antrax | ||
| xTheGoat121x | adam7, when you say corrupt -- recoverable (so I could format and reinstall)? | 20:11 |
| philpem | adam7, xTheGoat121x, he's installing it on a netbook. power failure = not likely :) | 20:11 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: yeah, you can reinstall, but you'll lose the data obviously | 20:11 |
| jazbo | nobody is responding on the wine channel | 20:11 |
| syslq78 | xTheGoat121x, yeah, file system gets corrupted (well data) not hardware | 20:12 |
| c0m3awn | Ok here is my question: How do I edit a file in the console other than vi and or emacs? | 20:12 |
| jazbo | any ideas? | 20:12 |
| lars_bauer | upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 fail due to /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required) ? howto fix | 20:12 |
| adam7 | c0m3awn: use nano | 20:12 |
| syslq78 | c0m3awn, nano? | 20:12 |
| vix | looking at lxde | 20:12 |
| vix | anyone tried it here | 20:12 |
| syslq78 | vix, it's nice | 20:12 |
| c0m3awn | let me check | 20:12 |
| adam7 | lars_bauer: did you upgrade to 8.10 first? | 20:12 |
| syslq78 | vix I have | 20:12 |
| syslq78 | in virtualbox | 20:12 |
| lars_bauer | adam7: no | 20:13 |
| Leoneof` | why Linux/Ubuntu focus on the command line like Terminal? windows is very simple, just double click and it will run, any idea? | 20:13 |
| jazbo | how does virtual box work? | 20:13 |
| xTheGoat121x | adam7, then in my eyes -- better safe than sorry. And philpem makes a good point -- power failure is highly unlikely. | 20:13 |
| vix | ok il chk lxde | 20:13 |
| adam7 | lars_bauer: I don't think skipping versions in upgrades is supported | 20:13 |
| jazbo | do you like it? | 20:13 |
| meho_r | vix, will certainly do better than gnome or kde. | 20:13 |
| philpem | Leoneof`, because some things are quicker at a command prompt... | 20:13 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: yeah, but if it crashes or something, same problem | 20:13 |
| NewToC | hi, I am new to programming and was hoping to install the g++ complier... any suggestions on what is the quickest and easiest way. I have ubuntu 9.04 | 20:13 |
| andry_ | up date clamav ubuntu 9.04 dont work ? ( i have freshclam interminal ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!). | 20:13 |
| andry_ | ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). | 20:13 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: although crashing/power failures are unlikely if you have a notebook | 20:13 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, aptitude install g++ :)? | 20:13 |
| philpem | Leoneof`, plus it's part of the "UNIX heritage". first and foremost, treat the user like he knows what he's doing :) | 20:14 |
| c0m3awn | adam and syslq thank you and what are the differences between those three editors? | 20:14 |
| lars_bauer | adam7: i used the userfriendly buttom in "update manager" | 20:14 |
| NewToC | syslq78: all i have to do is type aptitude install g++ in the terminal? | 20:14 |
| OttifantSir | Leoneof`: Linux depends on the commandline because the commandline is so much more powerful than any GUI-program can ever hope to become. | 20:14 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, wait I'll paste you | 20:14 |
| superdaniel49_ | need help Setting up My Space IM account on Pidgin Internet Messaging | 20:14 |
| Leoneof` | philpem, do you think it will be so hard for newbie? like me | 20:14 |
| adam7 | lars_bauer: did you edit /etc/apt/sources.list at all? | 20:14 |
| dravekx_ | okay... im wiping my server... | 20:14 |
| NewToC | syslq78: thanks! | 20:14 |
| jazbo | syslq78 do you like virtualbox? | 20:14 |
| dravekx_ | debian or ubuntu? | 20:14 |
| philpem | Leoneof`, no, it's dead easy to learn | 20:14 |
| xTheGoat121x | adam7, that's true -- my main concern is for the life of the flash media. I also read something about disabling swap. But doesn't that eliminate the ability to standby/hibernate? | 20:14 |
| dravekx_ | lol | 20:14 |
| Xerran | I prefer virtualbox over vmware | 20:15 |
| popwhk | is fluxubuntu part of canonical or a totally seaprate project / branch? | 20:15 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: you don't need swap for suspend but you will for hibernate | 20:15 |
| lars_bauer | adam7: didn't now about that file before now. | 20:15 |
| jazbo | does it work on an old computer? | 20:15 |
| philpem | Leoneof`, that said, most Linux distributions have some form of GUI (like GNOME, Xfce, KDE) any way, so day-to-day stuff doesn't always require a terminal | 20:15 |
| c0m3awn | adam7 and syslq78 thank you and what are the differences between those three editors? | 20:15 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: I don't own an SSD, but I've seen some calculations that indicate that you will never use up all the available writes | 20:15 |
| mattgyver | I have written a script to send email notifications, how may i run a script before the computer reboots to aware admins? | 20:15 |
| c0m3awn | thought 'd repeat so it'd highlight it | 20:15 |
| jazbo | or does it hog the system? | 20:15 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, sudo aptitude install g++, that's all | 20:15 |
| Leoneof` | my USB wireless is not work, i installed Windows driver, i see the light in ON in the card, but no network detected , any idea? | 20:15 |
| NewToC | syslq78: i found https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/programming/C/build-essential.html on the documentation | 20:15 |
| adam7 | c0m3awn: vim is hard to use, nano is easy, and I've never used emacs | 20:15 |
| meho_r | Leoneof`, command line is much powerful and yet much simpler. E.g. you download 10 apps and want to install them. That can be done with a dozens of click or with a single command ;-) Which is easier? | 20:16 |
| NewToC | and isaid build-essential... will that include some additional functionality? | 20:16 |
| c0m3awn | that made sense | 20:16 |
| Leoneof` | i see | 20:16 |
| NewToC | syslq78: should i do the build-essential or the sudeo aptitude install g++? | 20:16 |
| adam7 | c0m3awn: but vim and emacs are also more powerful than nano | 20:16 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, than aptitude install gcc if you want c not c++ | 20:16 |
| c0m3awn | which is why vi is so difficult and not showing a straightforward docs | 20:16 |
| adam7 | NewToC: just install build-essential | 20:16 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, install deb package (sudo) | 20:16 |
| jazbo | got to go | 20:16 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, install deb package (aptitude install I mean) | 20:16 |
| xTheGoat121x | adam7, alright. So then perhaps I'm best off formatting the SD card as ext2 and leaving the SSD as ext3 | 20:16 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, ah, I though you want to install from source | 20:17 |
| meho_r | Leoneof`, but you are not forced to use it. Almost everything can be done from a GUI on ubuntu | 20:17 |
| goli | hey all | 20:17 |
| NewToC | syslq78: I just want to compile hello world atm :) | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 20:17 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: I'd encourage you to look into the number of writes on SSDs if you're interested; like I said, I don't own one, so that may or may not be true | 20:17 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, c++ isnt very beginner friendly | 20:17 |
| Leoneof` | meho_r, how about USB wireless? | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | NewToC: Python is good for beginners | 20:18 |
| syslq78 | NewToC, I'd suggest python or some other high level language | 20:18 |
| goli | yes | 20:18 |
| xTheGoat121x | adam7, I appreciate it | 20:18 |
| meho_r | what's with it? | 20:18 |
| adam7 | xTheGoat121x: ext2 would probably be fine for the SD card | 20:18 |
| meho_r | Leoneof`, what's with it? | 20:18 |
| goli | for noob python its best | 20:18 |
| goli | ^^ | 20:18 |
| Leoneof` | my USB wireless is not work, i installed Windows driver, i see the light is ON in the card, but no network detected , any idea? | 20:18 |

| Leoneof` | i did | 20:19 |
| adam7 | !ask | superdaniel49_ | 20:19 |
| ubottu | superdaniel49_: 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. :-) | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | !details | superdaniel49_ | 20:19 |

| SnakDoc | lars_bauer nothing stored to that variable my default | 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | lars_bauer: that shoudn't be to hard to do, but what's wrong with it? | 20:20 |

| SnakDoc | diddy nothing stored to that variable my default | 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | lars_bauer: you went through 8.10 first? | 20:22 |
| diddy | SnakDoc, same here. | 20:22 |
| VCoolio1 | adam7: yes, it somehow remembers a previous login | 20:22 |
| SnakDoc | lars_bauer sorry about that sent you wrong thing | 20:22 |
| diddy | But why does man know to use less as the pager then? | 20:22 |

| Pici | diddy: take a look at sudo update-alternatives --config pager | 20:23 |
| adam7 | VCoolio1: what happens when you /nick VCoolio | 20:23 |
| sebsebseb | lars_bauer: you upgraded 8.04 to 8.10 and then to 9.04? | 20:23 |
| lars_bauer | adam7: i used the userfriendly buttom in "update manager" with text upgrade to 9.04 | 20:24 |
| superdaniel49_ | adam7: ok now what? | 20:24 |
| sebsebseb | lars_bauer: as for re instalilng Ubuntu you just delete the partitions on the Live CD and re install | 20:24 |
| VCoolio1 | adam7: nothing (?) | 20:24 |
| adam7 | superdaniel49_: see where it says AIM? change that to myspace | 20:24 |
| sebsebseb | lars_bauer: ah ok, so you were running 8.10? | 20:25 |
| diddy | Pici, what kind of cool command is that. Never seen that before. | 20:25 |
| superdaniel49_ | adam7: ok done | 20:25 |
| lars_bauer | But the error was alredy there. I thought i would go away if i upgraded. But a lot off installations went wrong | 20:25 |
| adam7 | VCoolio1: it should change your nick to what you want. if you previously registered the nick, you'll have to identify with teh password | 20:25 |
| adam7 | superdaniel49_: read what the window asks for and enter what it needs | 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | lars_bauer: I am not sure what your error means, but doing a proper clean install, should get rid of it | 20:26 |
| VCoolio1 | adam7: yes, I've convinced him now it seems :) thought I'd tried that already few times; anyway, now how to delete the ghosts? | 20:26 |
| adam7 | VCoolio1: /msg nickserv ghost deadnick | 20:26 |
| adam7 | VCoolio1: where deadnick is the nick to ghost | 20:26 |
| Pici | diddy: Its part of the alternatives system. by the way. I use zsh not bash, so for whatever reason $PAGER is valued here. Looks like in bash, man would look at /usr/bin/pager which is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/pager which in turn in a symlink to less | 20:26 |
| VCoolio1 | adam7: I'm not allowed to ghost myself, so it seems I'm still nick1 | 20:27 |
| lstarnes | VCoolio1: what syntax are you using? | 20:27 |
| adam7 | VCoolio1: /msg nickserv ghost deadnick identifypassword | 20:28 |
| superdaniel49_ | adam7: It's asking me for a local alias under user options and i don't know what it is, what do i do | 20:28 |
| adam7 | superdaniel49_: just ignore that | 20:28 |
| diddy | Pici, Thx. | 20:28 |

| adam7 | chriszf: are you sure the touchpad supports that? | 20:33 |
| superdaniel49_ | do i leave the connect server and connect port how they r? | 20:33 |
| chriszf | It did before I upgraded, yes. | 20:33 |

| Antrax | how to install verlihub on ubuntu jaunty , plase help me | 20:37 |
| chriszf | So basically, how do I make sure that x.org is using the synaptics touchpad driver, and not some crazy nonsense driver? | 20:37 |

| c0m3awn | Question: how do you rename a file in the console? | 20:38 |
| adam7 | chriszf: can you pasetbin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 20:38 |
| chriszf | mv filename new_filename | 20:38 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: mv | 20:38 |
| chriszf | Yeah, one sec. | 20:38 |
| H_M-Laptop | Hey, how do I add an alias to bash? | 20:38 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: you could also use rename instead of mv, which does things slightly differently | 20:38 |
| H_M-Laptop | I can add a temporary one, but. | 20:38 |
| mattgyver | H_M-Laptop, add to .bashrc | 20:38 |
| Seronis | lstarnes: different how ? i've only ever used 'mv' myself | 20:38 |
| c0m3awn | it says missing file operand | 20:39 |
| fogus2 | hey guys. can anyone help me use lvm or something to make a raid out of truecrypt partitions? | 20:39 |
| H_M-Laptop | mattgyver, tutorial? I already looked at it, couldn't see where to add it. | 20:39 |
| adam7 | Seronis: rename takes a regular expressions | 20:39 |
| Seronis | ah ok | 20:39 |
| fogus2 | I have no idea how to do this | 20:39 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: you need the source file and the target file | 20:39 |
| trothigar | mattgyver, make sure its executable then put it in /etc/rc6.d/ | 20:39 |
| nooneelse | mattgyver take a look at this documentation http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html | 20:39 |
| memento | adam7: it does not help, if its open in one screen so i cant open in the another... | 20:39 |
| adam7 | Seronis: good for renaming a bunch of files, like changing the file extension or something | 20:39 |
| c0m3awn | lemme try | 20:39 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: so if you're moving the file 'foo' to 'bar', mv foo bar | 20:39 |
| mattgyver | trothigar, nooneelse, i have written a script to send custom email notifications, id like to run when the machine is rebooted | 20:39 |
| adam7 | memento: wait, are you running two X servers? | 20:39 |
| mattgyver | ok thanks | 20:39 |
| nooneelse | mattgyver it shows which runlevel do what and how can you add your scripts to it | 20:39 |
| c0m3awn | but i have this file with # on each end | 20:39 |
| memento | yes | 20:39 |
| Seronis | adam7: not something i do often but i'll look that up. still new to most linux features | 20:39 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: try putting its name in "'s | 20:40 |
| adam7 | memento: oh, sorry, not sure about that. I'm not sure it will work | 20:40 |
| memento | adam7: yes i think so | 20:40 |
| memento | hmm | 20:40 |
| trothigar | mattgyver, stick in rc6.d | 20:40 |
| pepperjack | memento: you want to launch something and have it come up in a specific X session? | 20:40 |
| adam7 | memento: can you drag windows between the monitors? | 20:40 |
| adam7 | pepperjack: trying to run firefox | 20:40 |
| memento | adam7: no i cant | 20:40 |
| nooneelse | mattgyver the doc cannot be very understandable for everyone who it's not used to use ubuntu/debian distributions but it's a good start | 20:40 |
| mattgyver | nooneelse, looks okay to me, this might be the ticket | 20:41 |
| memento | pepperjack: yes | 20:41 |
| Houba1986 | hey, i have a question... i'm probably going to have to reinstall ubuntu, but i was wondering, has anyone tried opensuse? how does it compare to ubuntu? | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: Suse is not that good | 20:41 |
| adam7 | Houba1986: why are you going to have to reinstall ubuntu? | 20:41 |
| memento | pepperjack: i think thunderbird throw the same exception... | 20:42 |
| pepperjack | memento: adam7 i dont know if this is what you want but i normally do a `w` command to see the displays and then like export DISPLAY=0:0 then firefox& to launch on that display. its also fun for screwing with users on your server | 20:42 |
| superdaniel49_ | a wireless network adam7 | 20:42 |
| adam7 | Houba1986: (you're asking in the Ubuntu channel why suse is better; you might want to ask in the suse channel :P) | 20:42 |
| chriszf | adam7: http://pastebin.com/m64b2c565 | 20:42 |
| superdaniel49_ | adam7: i'm on a wireless network | 20:42 |
| nooneelse | well, someone knows here if there's some place where/or if exist the "--configure-stuff" of the packages ? | 20:42 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: don't do OpenSuse | 20:42 |
| Seronis | trying to use the default 'remote desktop' feature in 9.04, have used in previously in 8.04 and didnt have an issue but that was months ago. Currently when i use it i can log in and view the desktop but no matter what its not accepting mouseclicks or keyboard input. have used both nat pnp and explicite port forwarding to set up the network | 20:42 |
| nicklas_ | Houba1986: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major | 20:42 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: if you want to try another distro and your already a bit experienced how about Fedora 11 :) or if not that experienced, but want to try another, how about Mandriva | 20:42 |
| adam7 | chriszf: look at line 361 of that post | 20:42 |
| adam7 | chriszf: it looks to me like it loaded the synaptics stuff | 20:43 |
| nooneelse | i've been searched over google but didn't find nothing, or don't know what to look for... | 20:43 |
| Seronis | i've ensured that 'allow remote control' is checkmarked so thats not the issue. is there something else obscure that people know would cause this behaviour ? | 20:43 |
| H_M-Laptop | How do I add an alias to bashrc? | 20:43 |
| Houba1986 | well, i'm liking ubuntu a lot, i just thought there might be something better out there that i might try... | 20:43 |
| chriszf | adam7: Yeah, but why is it _also_ loading this 'macintosh mouse button emulation' | 20:43 |
| adam7 | chriszf: mine does that too, I don't know why | 20:43 |
| chriszf | I suspect that might be capturing my other inputs. | 20:43 |
| Houba1986 | so i was wondering if anyone tried anything else out that they really liked | 20:43 |
| lstarnes | H_M-Laptop: what alias are you trying to create? | 20:43 |
| pepperjack | Houba1986: alias ls='ls --color' <-- or whatever | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: oh I have treid a lot of distros out in vm recently, sadly many of which weren't being kept up to date enough | 20:44 |
| nicklas_ | Houba1986: it takes time to find your distribution, install and try them, then deside | 20:44 |
| pepperjack | H_M-Laptop: oops^ | 20:44 |
| H_M-Laptop | lstarnes, just a simple one.... pepperjack, the problem is that-- The command is temporary | 20:44 |
| memento | pepperjack: hmm..., but it must be possible to run two instances of firefox (in two xservers) | 20:44 |
| c0m3awn | starnes> c0m3awn: try putting its name in "'s <-- I tried that however it doesnt work when I type rename #read.src# readfile i get missing operand! | 20:44 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: try mv instead of rename | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: maybe try Debian if you want to try something a bit differnet, and Ubuntu is based on Debian | 20:44 |
| adam7 | memento: just curious, why not run one X server? | 20:44 |
| c0m3awn | brb willreport that | 20:45 |
| nicklas_ | Houba1986: sabayon is my favorite next too ubunt, but you have to find out for yourself, its a matter of personal taste | 20:45 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: also, "#read.src#" not #read.src# | 20:45 |
| BlueLaguna | ??lts | 20:45 |
| BlueLaguna | ?lts | 20:45 |
| linduxed | how do i add an existing user to an existing group? | 20:45 |
| Houba1986 | hmmm, i dunno, i read reviews and saw that ppl recommended ubuntu and opensuse as being the best two, so i just wanted to see if anyone tried both and has any recommendations | 20:45 |
| lstarnes | H_M-Laptop: usually the same command you use for making temporary aliases can be added to .bashrc | 20:45 |
| memento | pepperjack: because the two screens have different resolution, so its looks ugly if i merge them | 20:46 |
| BlueLaguna | linduxed: sudo adduser (username) (group) | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: the best two heh, uhmmm for newbies, maybe so, but Mandriva is meant to be rather good as well for newbies | 20:46 |
| pepperjack | memento: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles <-- but that kinda sucks since you really want the same bookmarks etc i imagine | 20:46 |
| squackwack | I got that google earth linux.bin, but it does not work. You know any trick? | 20:46 |
| lstarnes | linduxed: sudo gpasswd -a user group | 20:46 |
| H_M-Laptop | lstarnes, which is /etc/bash.bashrc - Correct? | 20:46 |
| nicklas_ | Houba1986: as i said, personal taste | 20:46 |
| c0m3awn | lstarnes: ok that did worked | 20:46 |
| c0m3awn | thank you | 20:46 |
| lstarnes | H_M-Laptop: no, ~/.bashrc | 20:46 |
| Mike_lifeguard | In Places>Bookmarks I have one for an FTPO server - when I click that one, I always get an error: Could not open location 'ftp://mc774915@ftp.novell.dal.ca/' ... Failed to execute child process "/opt/firefox/firefox" (No such file or directory). How can I fix this error? | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: and PCLinuxOS based on Mandriva, the 2009 version not ready yet, sadly | 20:46 |
| linduxed | BlueLaguna: lstarnes: thx | 20:46 |
| H_M-Laptop | lstarnes, heh, that explains it. Thanks. | 20:46 |
| lstarnes | H_M-Laptop: if you're referring to your personal basrc | 20:46 |
| lstarnes | *bashrc | 20:46 |
| nicklas_ | pclinuxos dont come in 64 bit, just so you know | 20:46 |
| Houba1986 | i guess i might as well just reinstall ubuntu and stick with it, since i've been liking it so far | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | Houba1986: you need a good host, Ubuntu will do, and then you can virtual machine other distros inside it, with enough RAM | 20:47 |
| memento | pepperjack: maybe its the solution :) i´ll try it... | 20:47 |
| lstarnes | c0m3awn: the shell implements anything starting with a # after a space to be a comment, so it doesn't parse it as part of the command unless it's escaped (like \#) or if it's in quotes | 20:47 |
| nicklas_ | but as in noob distros i would have to recommend both ubuntu and sabayon before opensuse and mandriva | 20:47 |
| dravekx_ | can I dual boot ubuntu server and win2k8? | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | nicklas_: Sabayon is far to black by default for my likeing | 20:48 |
| |Jason8| | sure can. | 20:48 |
| Seronis | dravekx_: sure | 20:48 |
| dravekx_ | cool | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | nicklas_: plus it's not as known as Mandriva and OpenSuse and PCLinuxOS | 20:48 |
| Houba1986 | sorry, last question... as you can already tell, im quite a newb, lol, but how does ubuntu compare to kubuntu and xubuntu? from your experiences | 20:48 |
| dravekx_ | should I install on seperate drives? | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | nicklas_: and Ubuntu of course | 20:48 |
| nicklas_ | sebsebseb: yeah, but its even easier than ubuntu if you get to know it | 20:48 |
| Seronis | Houba1986: gnome vs kde vs xfce for desktop gui. whichever you like better you use | 20:49 |
| thiago_ | nao acredito q ainda existe icq | 20:49 |
| thiago_ | alguem ai programa java | 20:49 |
| nicklas_ | sebsebseb: everything built in from start, including codecs, restricted extras and graphics drivers and such | 20:49 |
| thiago_ | ? | 20:49 |
| sebsebseb | nicklas_: yeah yeah offtopic, see my pm | 20:49 |
| Houba1986 | hmmm, i only ever used gnome, but other than desktop, like software support and other features, how do they compare? or is the only difference in the desktop? | 20:49 |
| Seronis | Houba1986: you can install programs from one in the other without issues so id recommend looking at a skinning / theme site and find out which visually makes you happy and choose it | 20:49 |
| nicklas_ | Houba1986: no no | 20:50 |
| nicklas_ | Houba1986: but, in here please discuss ubuntu | 20:50 |
| dravekx_ | ok, should I install ubuntu server on a seperate drive or the same drive with win2k8? | 20:51 |
| Alvinware | How to make Ubuntu look like Wimndows Vista/7? | 20:51 |

| RaBBiT | i tried adding he menu.lst entries from mandriva to the ubuntu menu.lst | 20:55 |
| the_dark_warrio | Is it possible to precisely position a window on the desktop, say point (10,10)? | 20:55 |
| adam7 | Alvinware: Pidgin stopped automatically? | 20:55 |
| sebsebseb | RaBBiT: also if you have enough RAM, you can virtual machine stuff, instead of triple booting | 20:55 |
| adam7 | the_dark_warrio: yes, but I don't remember how to do it :( | 20:55 |
| cleiton | Ola | 20:55 |
| RaBBiT | shot will ask there | 20:55 |
| sebsebseb | RaBBiT: ok pastebin the whole file, with the mandriva enteries | 20:56 |
| the_dark_warrio | adam7: any hints on what should I look for? =P | 20:56 |
| Alvinware | adam7, not stop, but totally closed, all suddenly. | 20:56 |
| adam7 | Alvinware: it's probably a bug | 20:56 |
| adam7 | the_dark_warrio: it's called the window geometry | 20:56 |
| Alvinware | adam7, yeah. | 20:56 |
| savid | If I have TTF fonts on a windows box, I should be able to copy those over to ubuntu and make use of them, correct? | 20:56 |

| BlueAlchemy | Hey all | 21:01 |
| === xF|ux is now known as xFlux | ||
| BlueAlchemy | I have a question | 21:01 |
| dravekx_ | Which installation do i use for partitioning for Ubuntu Server if I want to DUAL BOOT? | 21:01 |
| adam7 | Alvinware: nope | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | BlueAlchemy | 21:01 |
| ubottu | BlueAlchemy: 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. :-) | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | !details | BlueAlchemy | 21:01 |
| ubottu | BlueAlchemy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:01 |
| Alvinware | adam7, Are you using the latest Ubuntu version, 9.04? | 21:01 |
| adam7 | Alvinware: yep -- it's probably a problem with the myspaceim plugin | 21:02 |
| pepperjack | dravekx_: gparted | 21:02 |
| BlueAlchemy | ok, using Jaunty, accidentally deleted computer janitor, and when I go into add/remove programs, won't let me install | 21:02 |
| dravekx_ | pepperjack, use gpart to set the partition and then install? | 21:02 |
| BlueAlchemy | how can I get it back | 21:02 |
| SuspectZero | is it poossible to run a program as a non root user from root? | 21:03 |
| prince_jammys | SuspectZero: sudo -u someuser command | 21:03 |
| adam7 | SuspectZero: sudo | 21:03 |
| oskar- | SuspectZero: or simply with "su" | 21:04 |
| pepperjack | dravekx_: well it depends. if you are cli only (no gui) i would say like sudo cfdisk /dev/sda or whatever gparted is the typical recommendation for gui and it also supports resizing the HD which fdisk and cfdisk cant (only create, delete) | 21:04 |
| hatter243 | BlueAlchemy, try "sudo apt-get remove computer-janitor && sudo apt-get install computer-janitor | 21:04 |
| hatter243 | " | 21:04 |
| BlueAlchemy | ok | 21:04 |
| frantisek | co se to děje? | 21:05 |
| BlueAlchemy | says it's a no installation candidate | 21:05 |
| SnakDoc | any of you seen plaxo for evolution ? | 21:05 |
| BlueAlchemy | but it comes standard with 9.04 | 21:05 |
| deathwish | 76.22.33.55:6697 | 21:05 |
| hatter243 | try it with -gtk at the end | 21:05 |
| hatter243 | BlueAlchemy, "sudo apt-get remove computer-janitor-gtk && sudo apt-get install computer-janitor-gtk" | 21:06 |
| SuspectZero | ty | 21:06 |
| BlueAlchemy | same response hatter | 21:06 |
| Samm | Hello? | 21:06 |
| tag | Is there any way to rotate one or both of my displays to a portrait aspect? | 21:07 |
| hatter243 | BlueAlchemy, try "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update" then that line again | 21:07 |
| Seronis | Is there any known issues with 9.04s Remote Desktop feature that would make it able to transmit the screen view to a remote vnc client, but not accept any mouse CLICKS (movement works) nor keyboard input? ports are properly forwarded and the checkmark to allow remote control of computer is properly checked too | 21:08 |

| BlueAlchemy | done and same response when I tried to install it | 21:09 |
| dravekx_ | Ok, Im going to install Ubuntu Server on its own drive... what do i format the drive to? NTFS? | 21:09 |
| hatter243 | dravekx_, why would you format it NTFS? | 21:10 |
| SnakDoc | dravekx_ ext 2 , 3, 4 | 21:10 |
| Samm | dravekx_: I prefer reiserFS, but most use ext3/4. NTFS is not fully compatible with linux. | 21:10 |
| pepperjack | dravekx_: youll need at least 2 partitions one equal to or a little over your ram and the other for the install. the small partition will be your swap space this is similar to the windows page file | 21:10 |
| Samm | SnakDoc: Not ext2, there is no Journeling support, vital on a server. | 21:10 |
| shamwari | Samm: Im going to use it on my main tv monitor, it has to look good. Its for show not use^^ | 21:10 |
| dravekx_ | kk. thanks guys! :) | 21:10 |

| BlueAlchemy | my mistake | 21:11 |
| shamwari | Samm: I wold have known^^ | 21:11 |
| Seronis | Alvinware: Nautilus is the name of the window manager in ubuntu.. specifically what you are integrating i dont know | 21:11 |
| BlueAlchemy | I just don't understand why canonical would put a program on their installation that they support and they not let you reinstall it | 21:11 |

| delly | dravekx_: do you want journaling or not? | 21:12 |
| pepperjack | BlueAlchemy: you can always do a dpkg-reconfigure <packagename> | 21:12 |
| Seronis | dravekx_: might as well use 3. its a journaling file system | 21:12 |
| dravekx_ | delly, yes. | 21:12 |
| Samm | dravekx_: use ext3 | 21:12 |
| BlueAlchemy | under sudo? | 21:12 |
| delly | dravekx_: then its decided, ext3 :P | 21:13 |
| dravekx_ | thanks :) | 21:13 |

| Travis-42 | how secure is the ubuntu guest account? I know just about anything can be done with physical access (by rebooting and loading a live CD for example), but is it otherwise secure? | 21:13 |
| pepperjack | ubuntu has a 'guest' account? | 21:14 |
| Seronis | yes | 21:14 |
| Alvinware | adam7, Why my aMule speed always below 20kbps for download? | 21:14 |
| Travis-42 | pepperjack: Yes, I can go into a "guest session" since at least this latest version, if not earlier | 21:14 |
| TheSaintx86 | ok i am having real problems | 21:14 |
| censushq | help...the kernel upgrade wiped out sound and wireless | 21:14 |
| adam7 | Alvinware: no idea | 21:14 |
| pepperjack | Travis-42: well if that is the case id chmod 700 my home directory because you dont want guests going through your stuff | 21:15 |
| TheSaintx86 | i need to smoke and relax | 21:15 |
| SnakDoc | peperjack when you hit button to log off or shut down there link that says guest session | 21:15 |
| TheSaintx86 | i will brb | 21:15 |
| censushq | i tried the steps in forum, didn't work | 21:15 |
| delly | censushq: then use the older kernel? | 21:15 |
| censushq | how can i rollback upgrade | 21:15 |
| Travis-42 | pepperjack: yea, but at least a different user shouldn't be able to *change* anything, right? | 21:15 |
| oskar- | Travis-42: xorg runs as root and has security holes for sure, alone because of its complexity | 21:15 |
| whitescene | hhola | 21:15 |
| censushq | with grub the older kenerl works | 21:15 |
| delly | censushq: the why not use it? hmm :P | 21:15 |
| censushq | i dont want to have to use the grub menu every time | 21:15 |
| delly | censushq: oh that :P | 21:16 |

| Travis-42 | pepperjack: heh, alright :-) thanks | 21:17 |
| Seronis | censushq: might want to drop the defaut timeout in menu.lst too.. i set it to 3 seconds on my computers. and set the guest account to a 10 second delay autologin on reboot | 21:17 |
| casey | does Ubuntu have a disk check? | 21:17 |
| pepperjack | !fsck | casey | 21:17 |
| ubottu | casey: 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 | 21:17 |
| censushq | where is the config file to change timeout | 21:17 |
| delly | censushq: I assume you are running default Ubuntu so it would be "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" in either launcher(alt+F2) or terminal | 21:17 |
| censushq | thanks i will try | 21:18 |
| Alvinware | pepperjack, What'll happen if i change my main group to root? | 21:18 |
| prince_jammys | censushq: grub's timeout can be changed at /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:18 |
| Paddy_NI | Alvinware: bad idea | 21:18 |
| Paddy_NI | Alvinware: many many problems | 21:18 |
| delly | Line 19 in menu.lst is controlling timeout | 21:18 |
| whitescene | tanks+ | 21:18 |
| th0r | censushq: you can change the default value in menu.lst to boot whatever kernel you want by default | 21:18 |
| casey | do i need this lost and found folder? | 21:19 |
| prince_jammys | yes | 21:19 |
| Paddy_NI | casey: keep it anyway.. afaik the system will recreate it | 21:19 |
| casey | what it do? | 21:19 |
| delly | after line 131(which says: "## ## End Default Options ##"), you can edit grub lines for booting | 21:19 |
| oskar- | casey: it is a special folder, i would leave it there | 21:19 |

| nkei0 | Hello everyone, I'm using 9.04 (fully updated) on a computer that's been running Ubuntu problem free for quite some time. However, I am getting an unclean shutdown message no matter how i shutdown, using the normal point and click and also REISUB and REISUO, any suggestions? | 21:33 |
| TheSaintx86 | DOES anyone have easy peasy in here | 21:33 |
| linux_manju | Alvinware: The question here is DO YOU ?? | 21:33 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: the proper IRC name has to be used for the highlight | 21:33 |
| brittany | sebsebseb, oops, i'm making tea and cleaning up at the same time >.< | 21:33 |
| Xerran | Can someone please help me install "Open Sound System for Linux AMD64" in 9.04? | 21:33 |
| brittany | i know this :p | 21:34 |
| rek | i run linux familiar on ipaq h5550 where can i get ubuntu arm? i know there's a distro | 21:34 |
| ikonia | dravekx_: if you need a gui for your server, you may consider actually using the ubuntu desktop install - it makes a great server and is suited for home hardware | 21:34 |
| brittany | i normally don't use xchat | 21:34 |
| SnakDoc | dravekx_ ubuntu server not ment to have gui if you have gui then its desktop but sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should take care of it | 21:34 |
| delly | Jcn: yupp, or you could use the opensource driver. I dunno if it is installed upon install Ubuntu how it is | 21:34 |
| brittany | anyway | 21:34 |
| rek | ogra: hello | 21:34 |
| Seronis | Alvinware: its not a case of knowing or not. its a case of you wanted to know how to automate entering a root password. no one will give that info because there is no valid case for its use by someone not already profecient enough to know the answer | 21:34 |
| dimazkecebur | bugh | 21:34 |
| Jcn | delly: and also what about envyng? | 21:34 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: as I already asked, but you may have missed it, do you have the Vista DVD? | 21:34 |
| ikonia | !envyng | Jcn | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Jcn: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 21:34 |
| dimazkecebur | no some one know the driver 3D driver or SiS 671/672 | 21:35 |
| ikonia | dravekx_: sis cards have terrible support as video cards, | 21:35 |
| ikonia | dravekx_: sorry not you | 21:35 |
| linux_manju | Alvinware: A hint .. Perll Net::SSH module | 21:35 |
| dimazkecebur | wew | 21:35 |
| ikonia | dimazkecebur: ^ | 21:35 |
| Pricey | ikonia: is it just 'savage' or something? i can't remember | 21:35 |
| brittany | sebsebseb, i appended one of my lines with 'yes i have the dvd' guessing you want me to find it? is it an mbr issue do you think? | 21:35 |
| Seronis | dimazkecebur: if no one answered, no one currently here (and not afk) knows the answer. leave your connection logged in and someone might reply, and try asking again in a half hour | 21:35 |
| ikonia | Pricey: savage is S3 | 21:35 |
| dimazkecebur | hmm i see | 21:35 |
| * linux_manju s/Perll/perl/g | 21:35 | |
| ikonia | Pricey: chomium is the SIS | 21:35 |
| delly | Jcn: I am sad to say so, but i got no clue <.< | 21:35 |
| dimazkecebur | but the chipset its says | 21:35 |
| dimazkecebur | sis | 21:36 |
| Pricey | ikonia: oh | 21:36 |
| nkei0 | Anyone here have any experience with unclean shutdown errors? | 21:36 |
| sapi3nt | Hello when I boot the system, without seeing grub, windows is starting... fdisk -l output : http://pastebin.com/m190c00d1 and menu.lst : http://pastebin.com/m734aa84e. Can anyone explain whats the reason of that? | 21:36 |
| delly | Jcn: If there was a working legacy driver this would have been over already after some nifty copy-paste <.< | 21:36 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: what you can do, is let Vista's DVD fixitself, then it will go over Grub, and then you can restore Grub yourself, which may be a ltitle tricky | 21:36 |
| ikonia | dimazkecebur: SIS cards have poor Xorg support, you need to know exactly what chipset | 21:36 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | brittany | 21:36 |
| ubottu | brittany: 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 | 21:36 |

| dimazkecebur | but the chipset 3D driver or SiS 671/672?? | 21:36 |
| Jcn | delly: well I am not convinced that there is nothing I can do, thanks for your help though | 21:36 |
| Samm | sapi3nt: it may be that GRUB didn't overwrite the WIndows booter. | 21:36 |
| ikonia | dimazkecebur: hang on a moment | 21:36 |
| dimazkecebur | ok | 21:36 |
| * dimazkecebur iam wait | 21:36 | |
| dravekx | is there a way to setup remote login with ubuntu server? | 21:37 |
| prince_jammys | !ssh | dravekx | 21:37 |
| ubottu | dravekx: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 21:37 |
| censushq | the kernel upgrade killed my sound card | 21:37 |
| brittany | sebsebseb, so, vista will fix itself, then i'll do a grub-install? | 21:37 |
| linux_manju | dravekx: What do you mean by remote login.. SSH does not work? | 21:37 |
| sapi3nt | Samm: So what should I do ? | 21:37 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: on the other hand, maybe you don't need Windows on a psycial boot anymore, depending on what you want to use your computer for | 21:37 |
| censushq | the forum solutions dont work on hardy heron | 21:37 |
| dravekx | man. I need some serious help.. 1on1 I guess. | 21:38 |
| brittany | sebsebseb, the misses (Brittany) insists on windows, i'm converting her slowly ;) | 21:38 |
| Samm | sapi3nt: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 21:38 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: Microsoft don't exactly like other OS's, so they make sure that when Windows is re installed, or when people do the fix thing, that the MBR gets overwritten with the Windows boot loader | 21:38 |
| Samm | sapi3nt: or read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 21:38 |
| dravekx | i dont know what SSH is | 21:39 |
| ikonia | dimazkecebur: there is an xorg-sis package which may work, but reading the notes on it - it will be a reasonable ammount of luck / bad luck if it works or not, the support seems hit and miss for very specific models, 2d support seems very poor | 21:39 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: yes I understand, but maybe she can virtual machine it happiley inside Ubuntu :) | 21:39 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: depending on how much RAM the computer has, and what she wants to use it for | 21:39 |
| * dimazkecebur wew | 21:39 | |

| dimazkecebur | so what i must to do | 21:39 |
| ikonia | !info xserver-video-sis671 | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Package xserver-video-sis671 does not exist in jaunty | 21:39 |
| prince_jammys | dravekx: how about reading the guide linked to above? ssh enables you to remotely login to another machine. | 21:39 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: if you want to change your name you can do /knick and type in a new name | 21:39 |
| linux_manju | dravekx: No one on 1 .. For you may be a solution would be.. aptitude install ssh followed by invoke-rc.d ssh restart and ssh IP address of the server from a remote machine ( If windows use putty ) | 21:39 |
| dravekx | thx prince. Im reading | 21:39 |
| censushq | alvinware: try grub menu | 21:39 |
| ikonia | dimazkecebur: open synaptic or your package manager and search for sis - you should see an xorg package | 21:39 |

| censushq | now if i can get my sound working.... | 21:40 |
| dimazkecebur | should be i must downgrade the ubuntu version? | 21:40 |
| Seronis | is there any difference between typing 'aptitude' and 'apt-get' ? | 21:40 |
| brittany | sebsebseb, nah, my other clients are signed in under my nickname, i don't care to ghost them :p | 21:40 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: such as? and as long as Windows was shut down properly, you can access it from Ubuntu, and start moving stuff over to Ubuntu | 21:40 |
| ikonia | dimazkecebur: why would that change anything ? | 21:40 |
| Samm | Seronis: I want to know too ;) | 21:40 |
| dimazkecebur | ok i will traying now | 21:41 |
| brittany | sebsebseb, still weaning her off itunes, managed office and etc, she likes her ipod though :c | 21:41 |
| epaphus | Is it safe to remove strigri from kubuntu? how could I perform this? | 21:41 |
| prince_jammys | Seronis: they are separate programs that manage packages. aptitude even has a text-mode interface. try 'aptitude' on its own (sudo not necessary if you're not changing anything) | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: Itunes in a Windows virtual machine should work | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | brittany: in fact maybe Wine even these days | 21:41 |
| brittany | but atm i don't have enough space for a vm, like 5gb spare over the whole hdd | 21:41 |
| linux_manju | brittany: Why not use gtkpod ? | 21:41 |
| Seronis | prince_jammys: will do when i get home. stuck on xp laptop currently (at work). I just wasnt sure if they were aliases for each other as i thought 'apt-get' was the aptitude package manager | 21:42 |

| === sAviOr2009 is now known as causasui | ||
| sebsebseb | brittany: move stuff over to Ubuntu :) get rid of Windows on there, do it in a virtual machine, and if for whatever reason there is some reason to put it back on again, you can re install Vista psyically as well | 21:43 |
| RaBBiT | which ubuntu 9 is the lts? | 21:43 |
| ikonia | RaBBiT: none | 21:43 |
| Samm | Jcn: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers is worth a try. | 21:43 |
| prince_jammys | Seronis: no, they are different. aptitude has many features that apt-get doesn't have. But it's more recent. I think things are gradually moving to where aptitude becomes the main text-mode package manager. | 21:43 |
| ikonia | RaBBiT: 8.04 is the latest lts release | 21:43 |
| RaBBiT | so only 8.04 is lts? | 21:43 |
| Samm | Jcn: if that doesn't work, I don't know. | 21:43 |
| RaBBiT | okay | 21:43 |
| brittany | sebsebseb, that's the plan, linux_manju, that's the long term goal | 21:43 |
| brittany | it's more of a mental thing than a reality methinks | 21:43 |
| Jcn | Samm: when I go there I don't any options past a generic atheros driver for madwifi | 21:44 |
| Samm | ikonia: do you know the next Lts? | 21:44 |
| Jcn | Samm: do you know how to update that list? | 21:44 |
| prince_jammys | Seronis: they are both front-ends of dpkg. | 21:44 |
| delly | RaBBiT: 9.10 will be LTS | 21:44 |
| ikonia | Samm: 10.04 or 10.10 ? | 21:44 |
| Samm | Jcn: Then I don't know, I'm not good with display drivers. ask again. | 21:44 |
| ikonia | delly: you sure ? | 21:44 |
| brittany | right, time to give vista a chance to fix itself | 21:44 |
| ikonia | !lts | 21:44 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 | 21:44 |

| sebsebseb | brittany: or maybe | 21:44 |
| censushq | how do i recover from the sound error "no volume control or gstreams | 21:44 |

| Jcn | Anyone here know hot to install legacy drivers for ati radeon x1250 | 21:45 |
| prince_jammys | Seronis: At one point, there used to be a bug with automatically installed packages. That's gone now, I think, so using aptitude should be fine. | 21:45 |

| bucky | Samm: it really doesn't get any easier than synaptic in your System=>Administration | 21:53 |
| ikonia | Lord-Readman: just do an apt-get upgrade | 21:53 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: because not me or anyone else I know can | 21:54 |
| Lord-Readman | ikonia 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 21:54 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: so there you go then, contact the server maintainer, or use another mirror | 21:54 |
| Lord-Readman | :-S | 21:54 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: though we can't resolve the IPs either, and people from america seem to be able to resolve the IPs | 21:54 |
| Samm | bucky: terminal is easier for me than going through and finding my packages and double clicking, and waiting for a search to complete. terminal is straightforward. | 21:54 |
| ikonia | Lord-Readman: do an apt-get update again see what it says | 21:54 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: it's a simple request | 21:54 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: you + others can't do it - there you go | 21:54 |
| TheSaintx86 | what i am trying can be found here http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/#download | 21:54 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: i'm trying to see what I should tell the administrator when I contact him | 21:54 |
| Lord-Readman | ikonia, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 21:54 |
| dravekx | Ubuntu Server SSH will not allow me to login remotely with putty unless Im logged in on the server. why? | 21:54 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: "me and my friends can't log in via ftp" | 21:55 |
| TheSaintx86 | what logical conclusion do you come too? | 21:55 |
| ikonia | dravekx: you can login as many times as you want - within reason | 21:55 |
| Jaesin | so how do get a 32 bit driver installed on 64 bit? | 21:55 |
| linux_manju | dravekx: You are loggin in as which user? | 21:55 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: well, if I can tell him that south africa can't resolve, but other countries can, and I can connect to the following IPs, but I can't to these, but again, people in other countries can, it can help him find the problem much easier | 21:55 |
| dravekx | linux_manju, the main user, not root | 21:55 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: you didn't say you couldn't resolve it - you said you can't get in | 21:55 |
| TheSaintx86 | there are too many people here | 21:56 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: simple request, in the time I asked this you could have tried connecting and given me an answer | 21:56 |
| RaBBiT | I am having problems with the ubuntu mirrors in Sa at the moment | 21:56 |
| linux_manju | dravekx: Thats a weird problem.. | 21:56 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: I did say I can't resolve it, check a bit upwards | 21:56 |
| TheSaintx86 | this is one big cluster fuck | 21:56 |
| dravekx | but it tells me network timeout, unless I login on the server.. then it logs in remotely just fine. | 21:56 |
| ikonia | TheSaintx86: control your language please | 21:56 |
| SmallR2002 | sebsebseb, and this is the real me | 21:56 |
| Samm | What is the difference between gksu and sudo? | 21:56 |
| linux_manju | dravekx: what do you see in tail -f /var/log/auth.log | 21:56 |
| ghostkni1e | just 1/2 posts after my initial | 21:56 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: so the question is - can anyone resolve it, not login via ftp | 21:56 |
| sebsebseb | SmallR2002: ok did you do the DVD thing, and now only Vista boots up? | 21:56 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: I have already answered the resolve question, international can resolve it, I'm trying to determine if the same counts for ftp | 21:56 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: so my question is if anyone can access it via ftp | 21:57 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: I can resolve it | 21:57 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: I know | 21:57 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: if you can't resolve it - that's nothing to do with ftp | 21:57 |
| dravekx | linux_manju... Im in :) ill look real fast | 21:57 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: well, I can't login via FTP either | 21:57 |
| dethredic | Hey guys, what is the command to make a virtual link of a file or folder? | 21:57 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: contact the server administrator | 21:57 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: so my question remains, can you access it via ftp? | 21:57 |
| dethredic | sorta like a shortcut | 21:57 |
| linux_manju | dethredic: ln -s | 21:57 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: just contact the server admin - this isn't an ubuntu support request | 21:57 |
| prince_jammys | dethredic: ln. ln -s makes symbolic links | 21:57 |
| SmallR2002 | sebsebseb, turns out the disk i have isn't actually the windows installer >.< | 21:57 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: dammit it's such a simple request, please ignore me | 21:58 |
| ryg | how can i recharge my motorola in ubuntu? | 21:58 |
| dethredic | thanks | 21:58 |
| sebsebseb | SmallR2002: what is it then? | 21:58 |
| ghostkni1e | ikonia: if you don't know how to ftp, why bother answering me? | 21:58 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: please stop asking - this is not an ubuntu support request, the server admin is responsible for it | 21:58 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: don't make silly requests, I'm more than capable of ftp'ing | 21:58 |
| dravekx | I got this: Unbuntu Server Software caused a Network Error | 21:58 |
| SmallR2002 | sebsebseb, some dell utills thing | 21:58 |

| ryg | jeje...live your life and ejoy | 21:58 |
| SmallR2002 | 'do you have the disk that came with the computer' got me a 'yes' | 21:58 |
| ikonia | ghostkni1e: lets drop the topic then | 21:58 |
| SmallR2002 | unfortunately i didn't want that disk | 21:58 |
| SmallR2002 | anyway | 21:58 |
| Tutty | has anyone here had success with Full Tilt Poker on Wine? | 21:59 |
| Patric7 | linux_manju: Thanks for your help. pccardctl eject && pccardctl insert works after a resume | 21:59 |
| ikonia | Tutty: the guys in #winehq may be better to ask for specific application compatability help | 21:59 |
| linux_manju | Patric7: NP | 21:59 |
| Tutty | ah, great.. thank you | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | SmallR2002: well there's bound to be another way to fix your Grub issue | 21:59 |

| dfkmas | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-truecrypt-on-ubuntu-edgy/ | 22:00 |
| SmallR2002 | sebsebseb, i'm thinking some form of mbr reinstall by linux might fix it | 22:00 |
| dravekx | ok ubuntu sucks. it crashes more than it runs | 22:00 |
| ikonia | dravekx: don't use it then | 22:00 |
| sebsebseb | !details | dravekx | 22:00 |
| ubottu | dravekx: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dravekx: n-one is forcing you to use it | 22:00 |
| dravekx | well, everyone told me its the way to go, but so far, its just crashing... and I havent started using it yet. lol | 22:01 |
| dfkmas | this is what i get from uname -r | 22:01 |
| dfkmas | 2.6.28-13-generic | 22:01 |
| sebsebseb | dravekx: when exactly does it crash? | 22:01 |
| dravekx | sebsebseb, when I login remotely via putty. | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dravekx: then they are a fanboy | 22:01 |
| sebsebseb | dravekx: maybe it's putty/ssh that's crashing? | 22:02 |
| Samm | I honestly don't see any difference between wajig and apt-get besides their spelled differently. | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dravekx: linux isnt for everyone, otherwise everyone would use it, just like windows doesnt suit everyones needs | 22:02 |
| prince_jammys | uh, oh .. OS war. | 22:02 |
| dravekx | can i use telnet instead of putty? | 22:02 |
| ikonia | dravekx: telnet is not installed by default on ubuntu | 22:02 |
| prince_jammys | dravekx: just give the channel full details of what you're doing, and what's going wrong. | 22:02 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: your good at slightly weird Grub issues aren't you? if so I think SmallR2002 could benefit from your help, when he repeats his issue | 22:02 |
| edbian | dravekx: Yes but telnet is insecure. That's why ssh was invented. | 22:02 |
| linux_manju | dravekx: Did you select the correct protocol in putty ? | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | SmallR2002: wassup duder? | 22:03 |
| PROject-Emerald | How do I open a folder via command line? I'm trying to install ~/.cedega/.winex_ver | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | SmallR2002: repeate the Grub issue you have, I can see at least 3 people here that may be able to help | 22:03 |
| PROject-Emerald | Open ~/.cedega/.winex_ver ** | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | PROject-Emerald: cd <folder name> | 22:03 |
| edbian | PROject-Emerald: Do you mean navigate to a terminal in the command line? Or open that spot in nautilus? | 22:03 |
| linux_manju | PROject-Emerald: Dont know what do you mean by open ?.. However mc ( midnight commander might help) | 22:04 |

| PROject-Emerald | (I'm a linux newb) but I need to get it so I can delete/add files | 22:04 |
| dravekx | prince_jammys, i installed ubuntu server on a seperate partition on my server. I booted to it and installed SSH server. I log in remotely using the default username and pwd. as soon as I try to type a command. putty tells me "network error" and I go to the server and it says "Ubuntu Server Software Crashed" | 22:04 |
| SmallR2002 | ActionParsnip, i installed ubuntu on the misses laptop, everything worked perfectly till now, vista won't boot, when i select it on the grub menu it just reboots again | 22:04 |
| PROject-Emerald | Replace folders, etc | 22:04 |
| ikonia | dravekx: what command | 22:04 |
| linux_manju | insomen4o_: Yes | 22:04 |
| edbian | PROject-Emerald: cd moves the terminal around. It stands for "change directory" | 22:04 |
| === _MsrApple_ is now known as _MrsApple_ | ||
| edbian | PROject-Emerald: ls lists the files in the directory you're in (the current directory) | 22:05 |
| linux_manju | insomen4o_: iwconfig wlan0 essid "SSID" key "WEP-KEY" | 22:05 |
| edbian | PROject-Emerald: rm removes empty directory | 22:05 |
| PROject-Emerald | How do I get it to open with the File Browser? | 22:05 |
| linux_manju | insomen4o_: ifconfig wlan0 up ; dhclient wlan0 | 22:05 |

| dravekx | ikonia, I cant get the command out... two to 3 letters and thats it. S-u-d (network error) | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | SmallR2002: you will need to run: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:05 |
| edbian | PROject-Emerald: nautilus /home | 22:05 |
| ikonia | dravekx: sounds like your network is unstable | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | SmallR2002: and change the setting for windows | 22:05 |
| edbian | PROject-Emerald: in a terminal: "nautilus /home | 22:05 |
| edbian | " | 22:05 |
| dravekx | ikonia, thats what im thinking.. I need to look at it from the other side. | 22:05 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: hmm that's a point I didn't get SmallR2002 to do that, I just assumed the Vista partition should have still been detected by Grub | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub| SmallR2002 | 22:06 |

| JoAnneThrax | I have a new and novel problem, if any of you have information and would be kind enough to help. When I try to "fullscreen" a youtube flash video it screws up the laptop monitor. Fills it all with unreadable gibberish. The 2nd external monitor still shows everything (including the flash video) just fine. | 22:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | It doesn't crash the browser. | 22:06 |
| ikonia | JoAnneThrax: there are some problems with flash in general and some video cards / configs as flash is closed source | 22:07 |
| ikonia | JoAnneThrax: not that that is the problem, just a heads up | 22:07 |
| JoAnneThrax | And the only way I know to get the laptop's onboard monitor working again is to reboot... | 22:07 |
| PROject-Emerald | Anyone know the default installation path for Cedega? | 22:08 |
| ikonia | PROject-Emerald: /usr/bin is the norm | 22:08 |
| Samm | JoAnneThrax: you could also try CTrl-Alt-BackSpace. | 22:08 |
| JoAnneThrax | Of course, at home I can use the external to save everything and reboot...but it could get annoying whenever I'm elsewhere. | 22:08 |
| Samm | JoAnneThrax: But I think that closes all windows. | 22:08 |
| Scunizi | JoAnneThrax: instead of rebooting the entire machine you can restart just the "display" portion.. CTRL+alt+f2 .. login then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 22:08 |
| JoAnneThrax | Samm: What does that do exactly? | 22:08 |
| prince_jammys | JoAnneThrax: It restarts X. | 22:09 |
| Samm | JoAnneThrax: ^^^ | 22:09 |
| Jcn | is there anyway to update the hardware drivers options | 22:09 |
| Scunizi | JoAnneThrax: the other thing to look at is if you're using compiz (turn off as a test), or Xinerama (try twinview instead) | 22:09 |
| ikonia | Jcn: update in what way ? | 22:09 |
| * linux_manju goes out to grab a beer | 22:09 | |
| Samm | but do this JoAnneThrax: instead of rebooting the entire machine you can restart just the "display" portion.. CTRL+alt+f2 .. login then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 22:09 |
| ikonia | Jcn: the application, or the drivers it offers ? | 22:09 |
| JoAnneThrax | Samm: okay. I thought. Thanks, I'll try that. | 22:09 |
| Jcn | ikonia: the drivers it offers | 22:09 |
| JoAnneThrax | I'm not using either compiz or xinerama yet | 22:09 |
| ikonia | Jcn: it will over new drivers when ubuntu has classed them as compatible/stable | 22:10 |
| prince_jammys | I think in the current ubuntu release ctrl+alt+backspace is disabled. (i have hardy) | 22:10 |
| JoAnneThrax | Samm: that'll work assuming the monitor garbling is in X | 22:10 |
| Jcn | ikonia: I only have once choice available | 22:10 |
| Samm | JoAnneThrax: CTRL+Alt+f2 is better, props to Scunizi. | 22:10 |
| ikonia | prince_jammys: correct | 22:10 |
| Jcn | one | 22:10 |
| ikonia | Jcn: that's all that's marked as "stable" currently then | 22:10 |

| artillerytx | ikonia: you can't add support for other nic cards? | 22:11 |
| dravekx | I think i fixed it. | 22:11 |
| JoAnneThrax | Samm: the ctrl-alt-backspace is doing nothing | 22:11 |
| dravekx | how do I get a directory listing? | 22:12 |
| Scunizi | Thanks Samm :) | 22:12 |
| Jcn | ikonia: well I opened one the manuals that you guys recommended earlier and it says I have to enbale accelerated ati graphics through hardware drivers | 22:12 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: yes, but if you're not confident with managing a server the desktop can be more helpful | 22:12 |
| Scunizi | dravekx: ls or ls -la | 22:12 |
| ikonia | Jcn: yes, if there is a stable driver / compatible driver available | 22:12 |
| === censushq is now known as davec | ||
| davec | hello | 22:12 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: alright well lets see what NIC is it just a second | 22:12 |
| davec | i fixed my sound and wifi with the help of this irc chatroom | 22:12 |
| davec | thanks to all | 22:12 |
| prince_jammys | JoAnneThrax: they've disabled it in the current ubuntu release | 22:12 |
| davec | you told me how to edit the grub list | 22:12 |
| prince_jammys | JoAnneThrax: there's a way around that, but i forgot how. the bot knows how, but i forgot the bot trigger :) | 22:13 |
| davec | for running windows exe files is it better to use Wine or Virtualbox | 22:13 |
| Jcn | ikonia: i'll brb | 22:13 |
| mzz | !dontzap | JoAnneThrax, prince_jammys | 22:13 |
| ubottu | JoAnneThrax, prince_jammys: 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. | 22:13 |
| JoAnneThrax | Scunizi/Samm: Will that sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart work regardless of the windowmanager I'm using/ | 22:13 |
| davec | if I want to setup XP Home with Virtualbox do I need a seperate hard disk partition | 22:13 |
| StrangeCharm | can additional dns servers be manually added if a network connection already uses dhcp? | 22:13 |
| Scunizi | davec: Virtualbox.. because then you have an entire real windows environment | 22:13 |
| ikonia | davec: no | 22:13 |
| davec | i couldnt figure out how to invoke the exe install file in virtualbox | 22:14 |
| mzz | davec: virtualbox prefers image files inside existing partitions | 22:14 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: sure, update resolv.conf | 22:14 |
| Scunizi | JoAnneThrax: no.. if you're on kubuntu (kde) then substitute kdm for teh gdm | 22:14 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: you'll need to do that everytime dhcp renews your lease | 22:14 |
| mzz | davec: "invoke the exe install file"? | 22:14 |
| davec | i used NLITE to burn an XP CD | 22:14 |
| davec | should I use NLITE to create an ISO | 22:14 |
| cariboo907 | join/ #ubuntuforums | 22:14 |
| sebsebseb | davec: instead you have a virtual hard disk, and it's better to use the default dynamically expanding, and put like 60GB as the size, that's just the size the vm thinks it has. and then the virtual hard disk file itself can also grow to that size, as long as you have enough psyical hard disk space | 22:14 |
| mzz | davec: I'd create an iso. | 22:14 |
| Scunizi | davec: if it will.. | 22:14 |
| ikonia | davec: whatever you are comfortable with | 22:14 |
| rodd | I'm trying to setup 2 monitors on ubuntu 9 using nvidia x server settings but it isnt working | 22:14 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia is there a way to set permanent or systemwide dns servers? | 22:14 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: yes, but if you are using dhcp it will overwrite it | 22:15 |
| mzz | davec: you need to boot the virtual system off an xp install cd or iso. The virtual system doesn't really care which it is, so an iso is easier/cheaper | 22:15 |
| davec | I got the base XP Home down to 400MB | 22:15 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: alright i did lspci looks like broadcom ciob-e | 22:15 |
| davec | this is on an UBUNTU NETBOOK | 22:15 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: you can tell dhclient to not request dhcp servers | 22:15 |
| rodd | i want to extend my screen to the second monitor, any ideas? | 22:15 |
| dravekx | ok.. installing ubtuntu desktop instead | 22:15 |
| Jcn | ikonia: I have laptop, is there anyway to remove the current graphics card, and install a new one? | 22:15 |
| dravekx | might be easier | 22:15 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: you need restricted modeules for some broadcom cards | 22:15 |
| ikonia | Jcn: no | 22:15 |
| mzz | Jcn: usually not | 22:15 |
| Scunizi | rodd: one of the twinview options should do that | 22:15 |
| SmallR2002 | sebsebseb, and ActionParsnip, i already pb'd the grub config file, i'll pb it again in a sec | 22:15 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia- you mean dns servers? | 22:15 |
| davec | can virtualbox run windows inside ubuntu or does it require a seperate boot | 22:15 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: sorry, yes | 22:15 |
| sebsebseb | SmallR2002: I didn't get a link | 22:15 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: what is the best way to get that to a computer with no internet | 22:15 |
| Scunizi | davec: inside | 22:15 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia- will that be in the man? | 22:16 |
| prince_jammys | JoAnneThrax: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart : replace the g with a question mark in order for it to work with gdm, kdm, xdm, <any single character>dm that you use. | 22:16 |
| theTroy | How to force my nvidia card into powersaving mode? | 22:16 |
| mzz | davec: it can't run it separately, virtualbox itself needs an os to run in | 22:16 |
| Scunizi | davec: I'm doing it now to access a win only scanner. | 22:16 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: I expect so yes, it will only work if there is no server policy though | 22:16 |
| JoAnneThrax | Scunizi: Actually, using windowmaker... | 22:16 |
| rodd | Scunizi, oh funny, it worked now but last time i tried it cloned my screen | 22:16 |
| davec | so if i burn to an ISO, how do i use virtualbox ose to use existing hard drive | 22:16 |
| rodd | thanks | 22:16 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: download the debs manually | 22:16 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia- server policy? | 22:16 |
| Scunizi | JoAnneThrax: ouch.. not sure there. | 22:16 |
| mzz | davec: (and running the same os install both as a virtualbox guest and directly is usually a bad idea) | 22:16 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: if you use the desktop install - you can use the restricted driver manager | 22:16 |
| Jcn | ikonia: ok well on that manual that you gave me earlier my card is listed as having good accelerated graphics support with the open source driver, so it should be compatible | 22:16 |
| Scunizi | rodd: there is the clone option and others.. explore | 22:16 |

| davec | i am very familiar with unix command line interface, been using it for 25 years | 22:16 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: yes, dhcp server policy will override client | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | davec: don't use OSE if you want USB support, and if so get it for linux hosts from http://www.virtaulbox.org | 22:16 |

| ActionParsnip | Dekko: you can reinstall usplash too | 22:18 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: what is the difference between the desktop and the server other than a GUI | 22:18 |
| davec | when i become brave enough i will attempt virtuabox install | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | davec: np | 22:18 |
| dravekx | if i install ubuntu desktop on top of server... will it make a seperate partition or install over server? | 22:18 |
| JoAnneThrax | kdm is running according to ps ax | 22:18 |
| mzz | artillerytx: afaik just the set of installed packages | 22:18 |
| Scunizi | JoAnneThrax: try gdm first then kdm and see what happens.. as a last resort I think ctrl+alt+k or SysRe(prtScn) will do the same as ctrl+alt+backspace | 22:18 |
| matreya6 | Does anyone know a good program to make catalog databases of hard disks and cd's/ dvd's? Gtktalog only does CD's :-( | 22:18 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: there are packages under it, such as the restricted driver manager, and packages that depend on a non-server kernel | 22:18 |
| mzz | dravekx: depends on what you tell the installer to do | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | davec: you don't exactly need to be brave for this, in fact I have helped people that weren't that good at computers, virtual machine before | 22:18 |
| Dekko | ActionParsnip tried reinstalling it but still only get a black screen (and no usplash shown on boot - just textmode) | 22:18 |
| dravekx | mzz thx | 22:18 |
| davec | seb: ok thanks | 22:19 |
| prince_jammys | JoAnneThrax: if you use the command i pasted, it'll restart the display manager whether it's kdm or gdm. | 22:19 |
| davec | if i have a nusb cd rom | 22:19 |
| davec | virtualbox seemed to recognize the usb cdrom | 22:19 |
| davec | through the unn | 22:19 |
| mzz | davec: if you can install an os natively chances are you can install it inside virtualbox too. | 22:19 |
| davec | ubuntu side reco it | 22:19 |
| SmallR2002 | sebsebseb, ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f7ac290c7 | 22:19 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: haha alright i already have server installed so i install the desktop version as well or just use the desktop version all together | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Dekko: try modifying the splash screen to something, also check /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure it says quiet on the kernel line | 22:19 |
| Samm | !info gnome-splashscreen-manager | 22:20 |
| ubottu | gnome-splashscreen-manager (source: gnome-art): manage your GNOME splash screen images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-12 (jaunty), package size 15 kB, installed size 152 kB | 22:20 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: just use the desktop version - it's an excellent server | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | davec: Virtualbox will recognize a Windows CD/DVD or ISO | 22:20 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: alright | 22:20 |
| davec | that boot grub menu saved me | 22:20 |
| davec | after searching forums this chat gave me that trick | 22:20 |
| prince_jammys | Dekko: ... and verify that it says "splash" in the kernel line at /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:21 |
| davec | the new kernel wiped out wifi and sound | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | SmallR2002: ok so is vista installed on /dev/sda3? | 22:21 |
| davec | i had to use grub to get the right kernel | 22:21 |
| === sancas_ is now known as sancas | ||
| davec | and now i modified the grub menu based on what they said here | 22:21 |
| davec | it worked great | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | davec: I am not following you anymore | 22:21 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: do you know of a tutorial on how to use the desktop version as a server on all the required packages etc.. | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | davec: and a virtual machine, is kept seperate from your psyical hard disk install | 22:22 |
| davec | it worked greata | 22:22 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: exactly the same as the server version | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | davec: well except for how it runs inside the host, in the virtual machine program | 22:22 |
| davec | it allowed me to revert to the earlier kernel; | 22:22 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: install whatever server daemons you want, ubuntu server comes with none-by default so you'd have to do that yourself anyway | 22:22 |
| davec | seb thanks | 22:22 |
| SmallR2002 | ActionParsnip, unless i'm very much mistaken | 22:22 |
| davec | i will try this weekend | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | davec: #vbox is the support channel for Virtualbox | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | SmallR2002: you need to play around with the bottom bit where it references vista | 22:23 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: oh okay like the open ssh server and mysql and stuff | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | SmallR2002: try different partition numbers | 22:23 |
| artillerytx | gotcha | 22:23 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: exactlyn | 22:23 |
| Samm | How do I change the ubuntu logo and status bar at startup? gnome-splashscreen-manager isn't exactly that. | 22:23 |
| JoAnneThrax | Well...that didn't fly. | 22:23 |
| ikonia | exactly | 22:23 |
| Leoneof | i'm still have problem with Atheros chipset AR5523, it does not work | 22:23 |
| JoAnneThrax | I restarted kdm...but then couldn't get back to the original setup | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !splash | Samm | 22:23 |
| ubottu | Samm: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 22:23 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: so ubuntu server is just desktop version without a GUI | 22:23 |
| JoAnneThrax | Sorry, the original session. | 22:24 |
| === mike__ is now known as HeXiLeD | ||
| ActionParsnip | !usplash | Samm | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Samm: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 22:24 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: not quite, but for all basic discussion, yes | 22:24 |
| helo | does not | 22:24 |
| Samm | thanks. | 22:24 |
| hdon | what package contains iconv man page? | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | artillerytx: yep basically, but also it has a kernel which is better for proper servers | 22:24 |
| hdon | iconv(3) | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | artillerytx: or so they say | 22:24 |
| Samm | Leoneof: do you have internet access on the machine? | 22:24 |
| artillerytx | sebsebseb: ahh well im just gonna host a couple domains | 22:24 |
| SmallR2002 | ActionParsnip, glancing at fdisk -l it's correct, 1 is util's, 2 is recovery, 3 is vista and so on | 22:24 |
| Leoneof | no, only by this lan wireless | 22:24 |

| prince_jammys | hdon: try manpages-dev | 22:25 |

| koltroll | ive installed the netbook-launcher packages, but it bugs like hell. is it possible to get some sort of list of all the packages you need? in case Ive missed something | 22:25 |
| Samm | darn | 22:25 |
| artillerytx | sebsebseb: right .... so i kinda want to keep the server version but it sounds like it will be a pain in the butt to install the NIC drivers | 22:25 |
| Leoneof | Samm, no, only by this lan wireless | 22:25 |
| prince_jammys | hdon: ... and then man 3 iconv | 22:25 |
| Dekko | can someone PLEASE help me with the usplash... I can not get it to show even though I have disabled the framebuffer and reinstalled it. | 22:25 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: you don't need to keep the server version | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !info kubuntu-desktop | samm | 22:25 |

| sebsebseb | artillerytx: you can do the server stuff in the desktop version | 22:25 |
| artillerytx | sebsebseb: okay cool yall convinced me | 22:26 |
| Samm | ActionParnsip I need KDE3 | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | Samm: ah yes you again :) | 22:26 |
| mzz | davec: /lib/mzz 3 | 22:26 |

| matreya6 | Does anyone know a good program to make catalog databases of hard disks and cd's/ dvd's? Gtktalog only does CD's :-( | 22:26 |
| Samm | sebsebseb: I forgot (guilty) and I had to go urgently yesterday.... | 22:26 |
| samir79 | good evening guys | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | Samm: I am not sure how you would add the repo for KDE 3, since it's not exactly offical I guess, and that remix CD is semi offical or whatever | 22:27 |
| hdon | prince_jammys: thanks, trying now | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | Samm: I looked for that before, trying to find the repo, but no luck | 22:27 |
| Leoneof | Samm >.< | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Samm: i'd ask in kubuntu, they may know a repo or 3 | 22:27 |
| ctmjr | Samm, there is a how to on kde's website | 22:27 |
| Samm | Leoneof: I only know how if you have internet on the machine. | 22:28 |
| sebsebseb | ctmjr: dosn't mention the repo for KDE 3, or not clearly if it does | 22:28 |
| Samm | Leoneof: sorry. | 22:28 |
| Samm | ActionParsnip: ctmjr: thanks. | 22:28 |
| Jcn | I am in GNU nano 2.0.9 and it is empty | 22:28 |
| Leoneof | well Samm, maybe i need to download something manually instead of your way? | 22:28 |
| prince_jammys | hdon: you'll also get the system call man pages, etc. with that package. | 22:28 |
| Samm | I;ll go to kubuntu and ask. | 22:28 |
| Samm | Leoneof: exactly, and I don't know how to do that. | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | Samm: they might convince you to do KDE 4 hmm | 22:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | My pc is a few years old and a wee bit slow, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to lengthen the amount of time before gnome pops up the "x is not responding, wait or close now" | 22:29 |
| SmallR2002 | ActionParsnip, no luck, any ideas? | 22:29 |
| Samm | sebsebseb: yes, but KDE4 is soooo modular and pain. | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | Samm: I prefer KDE 3 over KDE 4, except for how some of teh apps got better, but I would use those in Gnome anyway | 22:29 |
| SmallR2002 | ActionParsnip, it simply reboots when i select it | 22:29 |
| Leoneof | Samm, can you tell me? what's your guide? | 22:29 |
| hdon | prince_jammys: yeah iv'e been looking for those, thanks :) | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | SmallR2002: create a backup of menu.lst and then boot to live cd and reinstall grub, it should pick up the boot appropriately | 22:29 |
| artillerytx | sebsebseb: know of any good fan controlling programs | 22:29 |
| ctmjr | sebsebseb, http://www.kde.org/info/3.5.10.php | 22:29 |

| bpascal123 | any wifi not working with ubuntu 9.04 | 22:30 |
| bpascal123 | anyone? | 22:30 |
| Samm | Leoneof: Install the madwifi driver in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers. but if you have no internet, it won't download, and in some cases, not show up. | 22:30 |
| Samm | ActionParsnip: ??? | 22:30 |
| bpascal123 | me? | 22:30 |

| ActionParsnip | Leoneof: add the dvd as a repo ni nautilus, you can then install build-essential | 22:35 |
| Jcn | ikonia: the reason i ask is because I am in nano and it is blank | 22:35 |

| prince_jammys | Jcn: X11 with capital X | 22:36 |
| Jcn | prince_jammys: it makes a difference? | 22:37 |

| Jcn | prince_jammys: lemme try again then thanks | 22:37 |
| ikonia | shaullx: no | 22:37 |
| Seven_Six_Two | shaullx, only if they're MLPPP | 22:37 |
| shaullx | how do i check that | 22:38 |
| ikonia | shaullx: it's not possible - move on | 22:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | shaullx, you would know | 22:38 |
| pleed | Here my aptitude update pastebin http://de.pastebin.ca/1504903 | 22:38 |
| Jcn | prince_jammys: lol i'm a newb...it worked thanks | 22:38 |
| shaullx | ikonia whats ur prob? seven_six_two is helping me | 22:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | shaullx, it is "possible" but you would have to have subscribed to it. You can't just fake it | 22:38 |
| samir79 | am confused guys !!! is it possible or not !!!! | 22:38 |
| ikonia | shaullx: it's not possible | 22:39 |
| prince_jammys | Jcn: good. Yes, if you have a file named "foo", you can also have a different file named "Foo" and another named "FOO". | 22:39 |
| prince_jammys | ... and they will be considered different files. | 22:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ikonia, not with those connections. but your terseness makes it sound like no 2 connections of any sort could ever be combined. | 22:39 |
| Jcn | prince_jammys: ok whatever i modify in this will cause real effects? | 22:39 |
| shaullx | Seven_six_two and what about using vmware and connecting there and bridge the two connections to get more speed possible? | 22:39 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: no - he asked for 2 dsl connections | 22:39 |
| prince_jammys | Jcn: did you open the file as administrator? | 22:40 |
| ikonia | shaullx: no | 22:40 |
| Jcn | prince_jammys: as sudo | 22:40 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: bonding and distribution are very possible, not on two home dsl lines though | 22:40 |
| mzeal | I lost my gnome config | 22:40 |
| prince_jammys | Jcn: yes, you can save the changes then. | 22:40 |
| shaullx | i never said its dsl | 22:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | my isp (teksavvy DSL) offers MLPPP to home users | 22:40 |
| ikonia | shaullx: what type of connection then | 22:40 |
| prince_jammys | Jcn: not a bad idea to make a backup first: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 22:40 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: %99 of the home user ones won't | 22:41 |
| shaullx | cable | 22:41 |
| Jcn | prince_jammys: ok because I am going to modify my X.org | 22:41 |
| ikonia | shaullx: ok - so no to that too | 22:41 |
| Guest92268 | anybody know a anonymous program for ubuntu | 22:41 |

| ikonia | Guest92268: anonymous what ? | 22:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ikonia, shaullx 99% of home users won't. 100% correct | 22:41 |

| Pricey | bah | 22:42 |
| prince_jammys | Jcn: then you can recover the old file if necessary | 22:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | shaullx, definitely not then. most isp's won't offer it anyhow, but now you know how to ask for it | 22:42 |
| Jcn | prince_jammys: how? (through console) | 22:42 |
| Guest92268 | ikonia they don't work | 22:42 |
| Pricey | Guest92268: find the page for 'tor' on the ubuntu wiki | 22:43 |

| lukasoft | Hey everyone, I was wondering, in Ubuntu, how do I restart the Window system? I tried Ctrl+alt+backspace and nothing happened, so I'm assuming thats for something else | 22:45 |
| Bob_Dole | lukasoft, They disabled it | 22:46 |
| ChrisAshton84 | mount shows: /dev/sda6 on /cdrom type ext4 | 22:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lukasoft, no, that was disabled | 22:46 |
| prince_jammys | !dontzap | lukasoft | 22:46 |
| ubottu | lukasoft: 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. | 22:46 |
| Chessguy1 | any way to dim the laptop screen | 22:46 |

| bobo | hey guys, ive recently been given an update for pulsse audio, but when i try to install it it gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/228572/ | 23:25 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: check out that info | 23:25 |
| ikonia | !aptoncd > artillerytx | 23:26 |
| ubottu | artillerytx, please see my private message | 23:26 |
| ikonia | !offline > artillerytx | 23:26 |
| Kalmi | b33r, I dunno why the GUI didn't let you do it... file a bug maybe... | 23:26 |
| Vinceman | how can you contact people who are logged into your computer? | 23:26 |
| gnat_x | i've set up ndiswrapper, and added what i'm pretty sure are the right drivers. they are there. ndiswrapper -l shows the driber installed but no device. | 23:26 |
| Mike_lifeguard | I have an external HD attached... what do I need to do to make it safe to remove it? | 23:26 |
| b33r | Kalmi, ok thanks anyway I'm gonna do it gonna take a while on 16kbps :( ;P | 23:27 |
| Kalmi | Vinceman, you throw a stone at them | 23:27 |
| Phuzion | Though my problem doesn't seem to be as bad as others in this room, I consistently have problems with Pigeon when tryin to log into my Yahoo ID and only Yahoo, and it completely shuts pigeon down... any suggestions? | 23:27 |
| arleslie | bobo, are you running it under sudo? | 23:27 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: apt on cd arlight | 23:27 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: perfect | 23:27 |
| Vinceman | Kalmi! | 23:27 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: haha but what package do i download | 23:27 |
| ikonia | Phuzion: yahoo is currently borked on pidgin I think | 23:27 |
| bobo | arleslie, i think so, its just that automatic GUI update thing that pops up every now and then | 23:27 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, run Pidgin from a terminal and tell us what you see when it unexpectedly quits... | 23:27 |
| bobo | ill try it in terminal | 23:27 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:27 |
| * Dekko just wants you to know that now it seems my usplash is back to working.... SOMEHOW after changing things with startupmanager | 23:27 | |
| artillerytx | ikonia: alright let me try that | 23:27 |
| Phuzion | ikonia: I think so too, a friend of mine fixed it once, and it just started again | 23:28 |
| ltgg | joetheodd: thanks | 23:28 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: do i have to have ubuntu to use aptoncd? | 23:28 |
| ikonia | Phuzion: they recently changed the protocol, it causes me problems | 23:28 |
| bobo | arleslie: yeah it fails on sudo | 23:28 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: no, but it's a good way to get all the deps | 23:28 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: i only have os x and windows | 23:28 |
| MattPhilie | What do I do so I can view a folder? I got this.. 'ou do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents' | 23:28 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: you can do it manually | 23:29 |
| Dekko | I just wonder.... is there a thing such as a system optimizer or crap cleaner for Ubuntu/Linux? | 23:29 |
| MattPhilie | You* | 23:29 |
| Jimmio1 | Hey Everyone. I broke Firefox... I installed 3.5 and it was named Shiretoko... uninstalled that, and accidentally removed 3.0 too, lost bookmarks and everything x.x | 23:29 |
| ikonia | Dekko: not really | 23:29 |
| ikonia | Jimmio1: re-install 3 | 23:29 |
| Dekko | ikonia: okay... | 23:29 |
| Jimmio1 | ikonia: Did. | 23:29 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: okay go to packages.ubuntu.com ? | 23:29 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Is there a way to change the /dev/sdxx labels? Right now I have /dev/sda[1,2,5,6,7] instead of 1-5 O.o | 23:29 |
| Kalmi | Jimmio1, it's unlikely that you lost your bookmarks | 23:29 |
| ikonia | Jimmio1: your working again then | 23:29 |
| Jimmio1 | Kalmi: Bookmarks toolbar is gone, Firefox logo is missing... | 23:29 |
| Phuzion | Kalmi I opened a terminal, but I'm not exactly sure how to run pidgin from it? | 23:29 |
| ikonia | Phuzion: type pidgin | 23:30 |
| Kalmi | PhotoJim, pidgin<enter> :) | 23:30 |
| Weed37 | hi guys i am having issues with brasero burning softare for ubuntu can anybody assist me | 23:30 |
| Mike_lifeguard | !ask | Weed37 | 23:30 |
| ubottu | Weed37: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:30 |
| MattPhilie | Guys.. what do I do? I got this.. 'You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents' | 23:30 |
| Phuzion | oops, sorry I opened Term Server client | 23:30 |
| bobo | weed37 (lol): what you need? | 23:30 |
| Kalmi | Jimmio1, I have no idea what you have done to your firefox... | 23:30 |
| Phuzion | still fairly new to Ubuntu | 23:30 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: okay i downloaded it | 23:30 |
| Kalmi | !permissions | MattPhilie | 23:31 |
| ubottu | MattPhilie: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 23:31 |
| Weed37 | ok i get an error this is a output file http://pastebin.com/f3441174c | 23:31 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Jimmio1: you should still have all config unless you used apt-get's purge option (or similar) | 23:31 |
| bobo | ok hold on | 23:31 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: install it with dpkg -i | 23:31 |
| arleslie | !detail | Weed37 | 23:31 |
| artillerytx | okay | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about detail | 23:31 |
| arleslie | !details | Weed37 | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Weed37: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:32 |
| eggenz7 | i have a intrepid install that was working beautifully...then yesterday i powerdown to move it to its permanant living quarters...now when i power up it get "boot from (hd0,0) ext *UUID#'s* | 23:32 |
| Weed37 | <Weed37> ok i get an error this is a output file http://pastebin.com/f3441174c | 23:32 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: how do i locate the file | 23:32 |
| ikonia | eggenz7: what do you get an when | 23:32 |
| bobo | weed37: i cant help you sorry | 23:32 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: you know where you put it | 23:32 |
| eggenz7 | then it says "Starting up ..." and it never loads | 23:32 |
| artillerytx | its on the desktop | 23:32 |
| arleslie | Weed37, what are you doing to get the error | 23:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: Are you *sure* it is using the right UUID(s)? | 23:33 |
| Weed37 | #burning a data cd | 23:33 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: ok - so go to the desktop | 23:33 |
| eggenz7 | well i dont have any experiance with uuids..how do i check them? | 23:33 |
| ikonia | eggenz7: blkid | 23:33 |
| bobo | oh ok so when i run cube 2: sauerbraten and i try to do it in windowed mode, it closes the screen and all i can see is my desktop | 23:33 |
| artillerytx | oh i can just double click it | 23:33 |
| bobo | i went from fullscreen -> windowed | 23:33 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: are you in a live session on that machine? | 23:33 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: ahh you mean in the termianl it's cd ~/Desktop | 23:33 |
| adante | eggenz7: fire up a livecd, in a console type 'blkid', compare it with the entries in your grub.conf | 23:33 |
| eggenz7 | Mike_lifeguard, i can get a grub prompt yes | 23:34 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: yeah but the package install pretty much the same thing right | 23:34 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: also, what do you mean by "move it to its permanent living quarters"? | 23:34 |
| Phuzion | Kalmi: it doesn't quit when running from a Terminal or opening by the icon, it only quits when I log into Yahoo, but not AIM | 23:34 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: dpkg will give you more info on what's going on | 23:34 |
| eggenz7 | Mike_lifeguard, instead of beside my desk it goes into a closet | 23:34 |
| Mike_lifeguard | ok, so not a change in hardware | 23:34 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: that's not a live session, but I think you can still get the uuids from there... let me remember how | 23:34 |
| Weed37 | u guys know if there is a brasero irc | 23:34 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, try loggin into Yahoo than, while running from the terminal :) | 23:34 |
| Viking_ | hi there | 23:35 |
| Phuzion | ok | 23:35 |
| eggenz7 | Mike_lifeguard, i sure hope so..it might take an hour to get a live cd booted..the cdrom on this thing sucks | 23:35 |
| Viking_ | composite error on logout on ubuntu 9.04 64 bit | 23:35 |
| Phuzion | Kalmi, it tells me Segmentation fault | 23:35 |
| Viking_ | any idea howto solve | 23:35 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: alright did ... says setting up ubuntu -resstricted extras | 23:35 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: if you type help is there a uuid command? | 23:35 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: sounds good, well done | 23:36 |
| ltgg | joetheodd: problem solved ... so easy! | 23:36 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: haha no what | 23:36 |
| eggenz7 | Mike_lifeguard, yes..it says "uuid UUID" | 23:36 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: open restricted driver manager - you may have to reboot first | 23:36 |
| eggenz7 | and it spits out the uuids for each of the drives | 23:36 |
| Bob_Dole | So suddenly firefox quit rendering CSS correctly | 23:36 |
| artillerytx | yeah i already looked at it and there was still nothing | 23:36 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: reboot first | 23:37 |
| artillerytx | im rebooting now | 23:37 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: experiment with that? It should be able to print out the uuids for your system (but I'm not sure how easy it'll be to tell which one you should be booting from) | 23:37 |
| Viking_ | composite error on logout | 23:37 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: hope I've told you the right package | 23:37 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: if need be, you can just have it search for stage2 on each uuid in turn :\ | 23:37 |
| cooper77z | hello, how do I make firefox open home page after pressing control+t ? | 23:37 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, well... that's not really helpful.. :) err... anything else? | 23:37 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: if not no big deal | 23:37 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: but thank you for your help either way | 23:37 |
| eggenz7 | i know which drive does it...ill try this and see what happends | 23:37 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: no problem | 23:37 |
| MattPhilie | Kalmi: There are so many.. umm what command do I do ? Sorry, I'm new to Ubuntu.. I just need to figure this out | 23:37 |
| Mike_lifeguard | cooper77z: I think tab mix plus has a setting for that -- addons.mozilla.com or whatever | 23:37 |
| Phuzion | Kalmi that's all It's telling me? I opened Terminal, typed Pidgin, and that is all it gave me | 23:38 |
| Phuzion | after tryin to sign in | 23:38 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: i just don't understand why the port is showing green and a orange activity but ubuntu can't see it | 23:38 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: it just means there is a link on it, that is nothing to do with the OS | 23:38 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: what does ifconfig -a show ? | 23:38 |
| edbian | artillerytx: That light will work whent he system is off! | 23:39 |
| cooper77z | thanks mike_lifeguard, I'll check | 23:39 |
| Viking_ | jaunty composite error on logout | 23:39 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, are you using a HTTP proxy? | 23:39 |
| artillerytx | it shows local loopback | 23:39 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: raths | 23:39 |
| ikonia | rats | 23:39 |
| artillerytx | and the driver manager is still blank | 23:39 |
| artillerytx | nothing there | 23:39 |
| MattPhilie | Can anyone tell me exactly what to do for this error? 'You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ircd-hybrid".'? | 23:39 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: you need someone with an ubuntu desktop to open synaptic and search for broadcom to get the package name then | 23:40 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: looks like a permission error? | 23:40 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: I've not got an ubuntu box running here at the moment | 23:40 |
| Viking_ | jaunty composite error on logout | 23:40 |

| artillerytx | alright what about a live cd version that should work right | 23:40 |
| Viking_ | ikonia what is not clear about that | 23:40 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: no - as you won't have a network card on that | 23:41 |

| artillerytx | ikonia: no i mean on another machine | 23:41 |
| ikonia | artillerytx: sure | 23:41 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: alright let me try that | 23:41 |
| Viking_ | i just did jaunty 64 bit | 23:41 |
| eggenz7 | as soon as grub tries to load the kernel..it says "starting up ..." then computer locks up | 23:41 |

| ikonia | artillerytx: download the package as you did ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:42 |
| arleslie | Viking_, What were you doing while it errored | 23:42 |
| artillerytx | kk | 23:42 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: I had that problem once, but give me a moment to see if I can remember what I did to fix it... (I could have sworn it was messed up uuids) :\ | 23:42 |
| Viking_ | nothing like i say it is error when logging out | 23:42 |
| Viking_ | i have clean install of jaunty | 23:42 |
| arleslie | Viking_, then whats the error | 23:42 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: Have you tried dropping to grub prompt and manaully booting it? | 23:42 |
| Viking_ | and all it says is composite error on logout | 23:42 |
| eggenz7 | yes...i tried to chainloader method...did the same thign | 23:43 |
| Viking_ | i composite errror | 23:43 |
| Viking_ | thats it | 23:43 |
| eggenz7 | let me try to the configfile method | 23:43 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard: I was just linked to that.. But there were tooooo many to choose from. How do I do it exactly? Sorry, I'm a noob | 23:43 |
| Phuzion | Kalmi, I am using Gnome Proxy Settings | 23:43 |
| SomePriest | If one has a 64 bit processor, is there any reason to use 32bit ubuntu over 64? Generally speaking are the same amount of packages and kernel modules available for both 32 and 64 bit? | 23:44 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, is everything unchecked there? | 23:44 |
| ikonia | SomePriest: no massive difference unless there is over 4gb of ram, things like flash are still beta in 64bit nativly | 23:44 |
| eggenz7 | Mike_lifeguard, same thing....it really acts like a kernel problem but i have no idea how to get into it ot fix it | 23:44 |
| === deanz is now known as Guest94123 | ||
| dsdeiz | my firefox just became very slow... how would i approach this? | 23:44 |
| Condoulo | ok, if I install and set up an NFS share on my other PC, how would I view them on my main PC (I already have nfs-common and its dependencies installed) | 23:44 |
| SomePriest | ikonia, 1.5GB RAM. Is there much performance gain for JUST a desktop user between 32 bit and 64? | 23:45 |
| Grizmawe | SomePriest, some things are a little less stable in the 64bit versions but are rapidly improving. 64bit OS is not needed unless you have 4GB+ ram | 23:45 |
| edbian | dsdeiz: Take a look at top to make sure something else isn't hogging resources. Run dmesg to look for random errors | 23:45 |
| Phuzion | yes Kalmi... my only options to check anything is Yahoo Japan and Ignore conference invitations | 23:45 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: Can you show me the line for whatever you're trying to look at from "ls -l"? | 23:45 |
| SomePriest | Grizmawe ikonia : Thank you. | 23:45 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: doesn't sound like a kernel problem to me... you'll normally get good error info for those | 23:45 |
| SomePriest | Grizmawe : Doesn't addressing 64 bits make for faster processing though, RAM aside? | 23:45 |
| Grizmawe | SomePriest, 64bit is just the ability to access more that 4GB ram address space | 23:45 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, System -> Preferences -> Network proxy and make sure nothing is checked | 23:46 |
| cooper77z | That made it work mike_lifeguard, thanks again --- Now to remove epiphany | 23:46 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: So, when you try to boot manually, what happens? | 23:46 |
| Mike_lifeguard | cooper77z: good call, horrid thing :) | 23:46 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, I mean direct connection... | 23:46 |
| ikonia | SomePriest: either would be fine | 23:46 |
| eggenz7 | Mike_lifeguard, it says the same thing as if it were to boot on its own, "Boot from (hd0,0) ext3 *UIDD* Starting up ...." | 23:47 |
| cooper77z | yea, I think epiphany was causing download problems | 23:47 |
| Phuzion | Kalmi that's correct, direct connection | 23:47 |
| Viking_ | i am not new using linux i been using linux now last 18 years | 23:47 |
| Mike_lifeguard | ugh | 23:47 |
| edbian | SomePriest: It allows the system to handel more data in each thread. Technically it is twice as fast as 32 bit but you have to find a program that takes advantage of this fact. | 23:47 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, yes... | 23:47 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: Sorry, I don't know what the problem is :( | 23:47 |
| Condoulo | using NFS, how would I set it up to view files on the client side? | 23:47 |
| edbian | SomePriest: Most programmers do not bother themselves with a version of their software that is optimized for 64 bit arch. | 23:47 |
| === MidsummerDawn is now known as LockeAndKeyes | ||
| Viking_ | thanks for the help | 23:47 |
| SomePriest | edbian, I know, I'm one of those types that doesn't. | 23:48 |
| Kalmi | Phuzion, well... no proxy bug than... try updating pidgin: http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ | 23:48 |
| Viking_ | i gues i will have to try www.talk2experts.com | 23:48 |
| Grizmawe | SomePriest, maybe for double precision floating point operations but generally no | 23:48 |
| === deanz is now known as Guest18673 | ||
| SomePriest | Ok, thanks all. | 23:48 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: Do you know what you're doing, or do you need help? | 23:48 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard: Huh? Sorry, I am a REAL big noob | 23:48 |
| Condoulo | what is a good client to use when connecting to an NFS server? | 23:48 |
| edbian | SomePriest: :) ha ha. Yeah the general rule of thumb is: "don't switch to 64bit software unless you want to use more than 4GB of ram" | 23:48 |
| * SomePriest is off to eat dinner | 23:48 | |
| CraigGB | SomePriest: personally i find 64 bit better even though i only have 1gb or ram, its seems better in some areas for me, that might just be in the mind though :), im mostly using it because the 64 bit version of jaunty hibernates on my hardware whereas the 32 bit version had trouble, but i've had no problems with anything i tried including flash | 23:48 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: i don't really see anything ... there is braodcom firmware thing - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=b43&searchon=names&suite=jaunty§ion=all | 23:49 |
| Condoulo | (preferably through the UI) | 23:49 |
| dsdeiz | edbian: yupz, it firefox eating resources right | 23:49 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: ok, you just have to let me know you need help :) | 23:49 |
| Phuzion | Kalmi, thanks I'll look into that, a friend of mine who turned me on to Ubuntu helped me last time with this issue, we set back Pidgin to the older version, for whatever reason the newest one cause the issue when it was downloaded | 23:49 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: do you have a terminal open? | 23:49 |
| dsdeiz | i'll check again using 'dmesg' later on | 23:49 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard: Yes I do | 23:49 |
| MichaelAmane | Hi anyone know how to get 2 displays + tv out working on a compaq presario c751nr laptop under jaunty? | 23:49 |
| edbian | dsdeiz: Unfortunately firefox is just a resource hog on linux. Short and simple :( | 23:49 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: ok, what is the full path to what you're trying to see? You want to do "cd /path/to/whatever" | 23:49 |
| dsdeiz | edbian: though last time it wasn't this heavy | 23:50 |
| Mike_lifeguard | (unless you're already in that dir) | 23:50 |
| Grizmawe | MichaelAmane, for the dual display, try looking at xinerama | 23:50 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard: I am in the /etc folder trying to view a folder inside of it | 23:50 |
| Okay | when I open my trash, the empty button is white-out. Any suggestions? | 23:50 |
| edbian | dsdeiz: kill it and restart. Does that solve the problem? | 23:50 |
| LordVorp | so I just got a laptop, and put ubuntu on it. then I noticed the keys were a little weird. then I figured out that it had a UK keyboard (?!). How can I (or can at all?) alter the Keyboard (country) layout after install? | 23:50 |
| MichaelAmane | I can two of them working but not all three | 23:50 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: remind me what the name of it is? something about ircd? | 23:50 |
| dsdeiz | edbian: nope. sorry | 23:50 |
| LordVorp | (for context, I assumed it was US, so it's set to US) | 23:50 |
| edbian | dsdeiz: Besides identifying the problem there isn't much you can do. | 23:50 |
| dsdeiz | i was thinking of removing .mozilla first | 23:51 |
| edbian | dsdeiz: Make sure that the actual process ends. You can either watch it in top or the GUI system monitor | 23:51 |
| artillerytx | ikonia: man i don't know what to do | 23:51 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard: it is the path: /etc/ircd-hybrid and it says You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ircd-hybrid". | 23:51 |
| edbian | dsdeiz: That will help if firefox is configured poorly. But you will also loose your bookmarks if you do that. | 23:51 |

| Condoulo | I'm wanting to share files between two Ubuntu machines possibly using NFS. I've got a shared folder setup on the computer I want to store the files on, how would I access them from this PC? | 23:53 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard. I did that and it did nothing it just started a new clean line | 23:54 |

| DJNomad | I already made a directory called 120 so I will change the w seconddrive | 23:54 |
| Mike_lifeguard | DJNomad: looks ok, yes | 23:55 |
| mgmuscari | Janhouse: that sounds like a bad idea | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | Janhouse: don't think so | 23:55 |
| DJNomad | thanks 2 m2i2llion ya2ll | 23:55 |
| forces | what is the package's name for install the new ubuntu notifications? | 23:55 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard: OK one sec | 23:55 |
| eggenz7 | Mike_lifeguard, is there any other options that i can do with a live cd? | 23:55 |
| Janhouse | really no? | 23:55 |
| Jimmio1 | Alright, so Firefox works. None of the preferences do, and the page load progress bar at the bottom doesn't work | 23:55 |
| Janhouse | lame. Ubuntu fails again | 23:55 |
| edbian | forces: They should be there be default. | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | Janhouse: no | 23:55 |
| mgmuscari | Janhouse: that would probably compromise the security of your system dude | 23:55 |
| Viking_ | ok i will try last time composite error on logout ubuntu 9.04 | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | Janhouse: having to enter your sudo password when doing admin stuff, is there for security reasons | 23:55 |
| Mike_lifeguard | eggenz7: you could look at your menu.lst and/or /etc/fstab | 23:55 |
| Condoulo | what can I use on my main Ubuntu machine, to access NFS shared that are enabled on my other machine. | 23:55 |
| Jimmio1 | not to mention it's slow as hell... Do I really have to reinstall Ubuntu just to fix Firefox? This is really really really annoying.. | 23:56 |
| Janhouse | I don't care about the security. I want to store it in keyring | 23:56 |
| mgmuscari | Janhouse: linux is basically designed to be secure | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | Janhouse: KDE can save passwords for programs and such, but probably not the sudo password | 23:56 |
| Janhouse | I still should unlock the keyring.... | 23:56 |
| mgmuscari | Janhouse: Ubuntu doesn't even let you log in as root | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: well you can if you know what your doing | 23:57 |
| MattPhilie | Mike_lifeguard: http://www.pastebin.com/m16b3256b | 23:57 |
| abioticrhyme | hello | 23:57 |
| Janhouse | ok, so you have no idea. | 23:57 |
| edbian | Janhouse: If you don't care about security just configure your system to let you log in as root and be done with the whole password business. | 23:57 |
| mgmuscari | sebsebseb: i'll redact that and say that it doesn't make it EASY to log in as root | 23:57 |
| Janhouse | thx | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | Janhouse: in Windows XP, people shoudn't be using admin all the time, again for security reasons | 23:57 |
| DJNomad | can someone tell me how to open etc fstab with root priveledges from terminal ? | 23:57 |
| somebody | i want a script to run at boot do i just drop it in /etc/init.d ? | 23:57 |
| edbian | Janhouse: It is totally against the linux security policy btw | 23:57 |
| edbian | DJNomad: gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 23:57 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie: There's no post there? | 23:57 |
| forces | edbian, I want the package name | 23:57 |
| edbian | somebody: It's a little more complicated than that. | 23:58 |
| Okay | when I open my trash, the empty button is white-out. Any suggestions? | 23:58 |
| edbian | forces: I don't know :( | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | Janhouse: I know it can be annoying to have to type in your password, but your sudo password is one that should be good, and one that you protect | 23:58 |
| Mike_lifeguard | MattPhilie, eggenz7: Sorry guys, I gotta run for a bit (1/2 hour?) I'm sure someone else here will be able to help you, but if not, feel free to ping me later | 23:58 |
| edbian | forces: Search synaptic. | 23:58 |
| forces | does anyone know what is the package's name for install the new ubuntu notifications? | 23:58 |
| === Mike_lifeguard is now known as Mike||gone | ||
| mgmuscari | Janhouse: if it really bugs you, do sudo su and change your sudo password to an empty string :p | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: don't give bad advice | 23:58 |
| DJNomad | I use mousepad I believe ..I am using xfce | 23:58 |
| forces | edbian, search what? more than 15,000 packages | 23:58 |
| mgmuscari | sebsebseb: i'm just being facetious. i already said that doesn't sound like a good idea | 23:59 |
| Jimmio1 | Nevermind all, added a firefox lauchpad source and installed 3.6, working perfectly and bookmarks came back... | 23:59 |
| somebody | edbian ,maby i do not need to use my dirty script , i want to modprobe ndiswrapper and dhcpclient to my wireless acces point? | 23:59 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Hi all. I am running Jaunty. I am having a problem with my xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml file. Some of the properties work fine, and others don't work at all. Shouldn't they ALL either work or not since they are all in the same file (which contains most all of System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts)? | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | mgmuscari: well they might actsaully do it | 23:59 |
| debclair | hi everyone, my Caps Lock led (the one that turns on when you press the key) does not work anymore, can anybody help me? | 23:59 |
| mgmuscari | i don't suppose anybody else here has tried to use userContent.css and userChrome.css to style the input boxes and buttons in firefox... | 23:59 |
| edbian | forces: I think the ubuntu notifications are part of the ubuntu-desktop package | 23:59 |
| debclair | (caps locks works all right) | 23:59 |
