| bobofosho | funky: no that didnt work | 00:00 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: so just letting it sit after boot and letting the clock count down didn't work? | 00:00 |
| funkywds | what happened? | 00:00 |
| bobofosho | nothing at all | 00:00 |
| bobofosho | it just stayed at that screen | 00:00 |
| MrStein | bobofosho: did you "Check CD for defects" ? | 00:00 |
| bobofosho | it wont let me | 00:00 |

| funkywds | bobofosho: mapping may be off for your "enter" key | 00:01 |
| meshuggah | heya sebsebseb !!!! how are you my friend? | 00:01 |
| bobofosho | how do i turn it on | 00:01 |
| bobofosho | ? | 00:01 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: not "off" i mean icorrectly mapped | 00:01 |
| bobofosho | ok so how do i remap it | 00:02 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: i'm interested to know whether you'll have this problem with the linux mint liveCD | 00:02 |
| LrdHelmet | how do i add stuff to the dock? | 00:02 |
| bobofosho | i dont wanna download another os | 00:02 |
| bobofosho | to much hassle | 00:02 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: i hear ya. Linux Mint *IS* ubuntu, but tweaked a bit to be easier to use and install | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: you have a ps2 or usb keyboard? got one of the other kinds to test out? | 00:03 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: as for your keyboard, you wouldn't happen to have an external usb KB you could use temporarily, do you? | 00:03 |
| bobofosho | unfortuanantly no | 00:03 |
| bobofosho | i dont | 00:03 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: darn | 00:03 |
| bobofosho | but if enter always works in windows | 00:03 |
| bobofosho | why would it be a problem now | 00:04 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: the key may be mapped to do something else. it prolly works, just not for what its supposed to | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: laptops can be quirky (this is a laptop right?) | 00:04 |
| bobofosho | yep | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: you could try unetbootin and make a bootable flash drive to install from. | 00:04 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: you could try pressing other keys to see another key acts like the enter key | 00:04 |
| bobofosho | already tried | 00:05 |
| bobofosho | that | 00:05 |
| bobofosho | none of the keys | 00:05 |
| bobofosho | worked | 00:05 |
| stroyan | bobofosho: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/hp-compaq+6730s looks encouraging. It does not mention any keyboard trouble. | 00:05 |
| FloodBot1 | bobofosho: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | ctrl-h or ctrl-j also works as enter at times.. but it SHOULD count down i thought.. try the escape key also... | 00:05 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: did you try pressing them with the "Fn" key held down? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | It could be the machine is just hanging. | 00:05 |
| bobofosho | true | 00:05 |
| bobofosho | so many options | 00:05 |
| bobofosho | its overwhelming | 00:06 |
| funkywds | Dr_Willis: not if he can change the selections but not select them | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: with a unetbootin built 'flash installer disk' you could edit the syslinux.cfg files to skip the language selection perhaps. | 00:06 |
| bobofosho | whoever posted that link thanks | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: but it sounds more to me like the thing is totally hanging. | 00:06 |
| bobofosho | why would it hang i wonder | 00:06 |
| funkywds | Dr_Willis: he says he can change the selections, but not actually select one | 00:07 |
| funkywds | Dr_Willis: if he gets any response, it's not a hang, but a hw or mapping prob | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: try the escape key at that language selection . that should 'close' the language box (and i for one hage NO IDEA why ubuntu likes to auto-pop that thing up) | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: on one installer/flash drive i disabled that so it never asked the language. :) | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | funkywds: thats a good sign then | 00:08 |
| funkywds | Dr_Willis: yeah | 00:08 |
| funkywds | Dr_Willis: tricky | 00:08 |
| bobofosho | i can get rid of the language menu | 00:08 |
| bobofosho | fine | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | The default ubuntu sysliniux.cfg setup is whats tricky.. its was a pain to read through and alter, | 00:09 |
| bobofosho | i can move the selection highligter | 00:09 |
| bobofosho | too | 00:09 |
| bobofosho | but i dont know why this is a problem though | 00:09 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: that means your computer isn't hangign, try turning on/off the numlock | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | bobofosho: so do the F keys work if you get rid iof the language selection? | 00:09 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: maybe the numlock is on by default and needs to be disabled, therefore mucking up the KB map | 00:10 |
| bobofosho | ok how do i turn off numlock | 00:10 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: there should be a key that says "Num Lock". you may have to press the Fn key to access it's functionality | 00:10 |
| funkywds | *its functionality | 00:12 |
| bobofosho | i think turned it off | 00:13 |

| mubu | Hey guys is there any way i can use synaptic package manager to downgrade/undo an upgrade of a certain package i did recently? thanks | 00:16 |
| mazda01 | ha, cool. i know how to get the bot to help me out. i didn't know this before | 00:16 |
| mazda01 | mubu, i don't know about synaptic but I know you can use apt-get or aptitude to hold certain versions and not upgrade them | 00:17 |
| mubu | mazda01, I already performed an upgrade though... is there any way to rollback | 00:17 |
| tavelram_ | is there a way to clean the apt cache from already installed packages? | 00:18 |
| mazda01 | mubu, here's a guide: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html | 00:18 |
| etherealG | hi, anyone know if I can install wireshark on linux without interrupting current network connections and monitor those existing connections? | 00:18 |
| MrStein | etherealG: yes, you can | 00:18 |
| Reefer | Anyone here to help me with Ubuntu issues | 00:19 |
| Reefer | ? | 00:19 |
| mazda01 | mubu, sure. first you would aptitude remove --purge packagename and then follow that tutorial. unless you're saying you upgraded the entire distro. | 00:19 |
| funkywds | Reefer: most of us | 00:19 |
| MrStein | (consider another nick until you master wireshark) ;-) | 00:19 |
| etherealG | hehe | 00:19 |
| brandon | i can. Reffer | 00:19 |
| stroyan | mazda01: You can use private message instead of conversing with ubottu in the room. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots#Private%20messages | 00:19 |
| Reefer | If someone is free to help me can you please pm me | 00:19 |
| yoyoned1 | !ask|reefer | 00:19 |
| ubottu | reefer: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:19 |
| etherealG | well, I wasn't sure as switching the adapter into monitor mode I thought might drop connections | 00:19 |
| brandon | :) | 00:19 |
| mubu | mazda01, No, i just upgraded a certain program, but dont see how that guide can help me.. | 00:20 |
| MrStein | etherealG: WLAN ? | 00:20 |
| mechtech | why does my package for wine-gecko have star on it? | 00:20 |
| etherealG | I'm really eager to watch what a process is up to, but if I accidentally close it I can't start it again | 00:20 |
| etherealG | nah MrStein, ethernet | 00:20 |
| etherealG | an open irc connection is what I want to monitor actually :) | 00:20 |
| mazda01 | mubu, i just told you how. first remove --purge packagename and then follow the guide. read the guide, that'll help first of all. | 00:21 |
| MrStein | etherealG: there is no "monitor" mode on ethernet. There is promiscuos. And no, changing it does not break existing connections (you mean TCP , right?) | 00:21 |
| FrozenFire | Is there a decent bandwidth monitoring daemon that provides a Gnome panel app? | 00:21 |
| etherealG | yeah, tcp | 00:21 |
| etherealG | thanks for the info, I'll have a go then | 00:21 |
| MrStein | bye | 00:21 |
| mun24_ | GTK-Warnign**:Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so" any clue? | 00:21 |

| mun24_ | use ifconfig | 00:22 |
| etherealG | Zappo: ifconfig | 00:22 |

| bobofosho | any ideas guys | 00:25 |
| bobofosho | ??? | 00:25 |
| mechtech | bobofosho: checking what for defects? | 00:25 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: huh. that's an odd one. | 00:25 |
| yoyoned1 | bobofosho: when do you get the error | 00:26 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: that means your CD didn't burn right. try using a different burner | 00:26 |
| Zappo | bye | 00:26 |
| bobofosho | the burner is fine i burned windows the other day | 00:26 |
| bobofosho | and it worked | 00:26 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: windows is less of a problem with errors | 00:26 |
| bobofosho | true dat | 00:27 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: linux is more discriminate | 00:27 |
| mechtech | bobofosho: when checking the cd for defects? | 00:27 |
| bobofosho | yep | 00:27 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: maybe it's your burner or the recording app/media that's your problem | 00:27 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: weird and rare, to be sure | 00:27 |
| funkywds | bobofosho: esp since you burned 2 of them | 00:28 |
| mechtech | bobofosho: prolly corrupt download...re-download, then re-burn and try again...at any rate, you cannot use that kernel image | 00:28 |

| stroyan | Wow! A one URL flood! | 00:29 |

| funkywds | stroyan: lol | 00:30 |

| ^Phantom^ | I have the decryption code for it, but i can't get the file to open in any media player | 00:30 |
| ^Phantom^ | it's a .wmv video | 00:30 |
| ^Phantom^ | Can I please get some help with this? | 00:31 |
| kapipi | mechtech: I think im going to ignore it. Its very long, something's odd. As a student you dont have time to process that much information. | 00:31 |
| mechtech | ^phantom^: you need to convert to mpeg4 or something more generic than wmv | 00:31 |
| mechtech | kapipi: I'm always wary of onyone or anything asking me for info on the internet | 00:32 |
| funkywds | ^Phantom^: you have to install the w32codecs package | 00:32 |
| mechtech | ^phantom^ my bad | 00:32 |

| ^Phantom^ | Oh, I have that installed and can play .wmv files. | 00:33 |
| funkywds | yay | 00:33 |
| kapipi | mechtech: And I'm wondering if the sender isnt violating some rules on Ubuntu Brainstorm by contacting me (and probably a lot of other people) like that. | 00:33 |
| mechtech | kapipi: I would ignore it...let him profile someone else...perhaps he's trying to capture IPs and habits for hacking purposes (most likely unsecure ports etc...) | 00:34 |
| ^Phantom^ | It's just that this one is one of those "digital copy" files from a DVD movie I purchased last night. | 00:34 |

| salmon | funkywds, i just want good old ubuntu. and im wondering how to unpack ubuntu studio to make it just standard ubuntu | 00:38 |
| mechtech | bot, not operator | 00:38 |
| mzz | mechtech: because I had it send a private message to dl | 00:38 |
| funkywds | salmon: well, that'll be a huge pain... | 00:38 |
| mechtech | mzz: from pastebin? | 00:39 |

| losher | salmon: try again with 8.04.3 LTS... | 00:41 |

| salmon | funkywds, where do i find this linux mint and how much does it differ from ubuntu? | 00:42 |
| funkywds | ^Phantom^: past from withing windows, but it can be done in ubuntu | 00:42 |

| Kimimaro | vlw! sorry | 00:47 |
| mechtech | losher: cool | 00:47 |
| salmon | losher, only thing that changed was the hard drive, went from a sea gate 80gb to a WD 160gb, nothing else changed, and when i try to install it the loader comes up, i select any of the options and the loading screen comes up, then i get a screen where it tells me that it failed and the device is not ready. then i get a spot where i can type with (initframs) preceding it. thats all really know | 00:48 |
| mechtech | does anyone know why wine-gecko has a star on it in synaptic? | 00:48 |
| * funkywds internets are funky today | 00:49 | |
| salmon | losher, i had first thought it might be a problem with the new hard drive, but ubuntu studio installed fine | 00:49 |
| legend2440 | mechtech: i think that means there is an upgrade available | 00:49 |
| losher | salmon: and why did you change the hard drive? | 00:49 |
| mechtech | salmon: look at the back of the drive, it seems that maybe you have the jumper set to slave, when it should be master, or cable select | 00:49 |

| salmon | mechtech, there is no jumper on the back of the drive, should i pull one off the old drive | 00:50 |
| funkywds | http:..linuxmint.com | 00:50 |

| salmon | mechtech, plus i got studio to install so that doesnt make all that much sense to me | 00:51 |
| mechtech | salmon: yes | 00:51 |
| losher | salmon: the reason I ask is because maybe the drive didn't die. Maybe it's was the controller or something on the mobo? It still doesn't explain why studio installed though... | 00:51 |

| Cube | hey, i have a cron-scheduled script. its scheduled to run daily. so when will it be run? like its 1am right now. did it run already? ALSO: I WANT my bash script to wait till i have an internet connection till executing some commands. how can i do that? | 00:52 |
| mechtech | pianistbaby: system onitor | 00:52 |
| funkywds | losher: good call. if his old drive didn't work, and the new one doesn't either, it's not the drives (prolly) that're the prob | 00:52 |
| mechtech | monitor | 00:52 |
| pianistbaby | mechtech: i have that. but i want something that logs it for every day. | 00:53 |
| mechtech | pianist: man interfaces | 00:53 |
| trimeta | Cube: I'm pretty sure cron-daily things run at 3 AM, but it's set somewhere in your cron stuff...look around your /etc/cron* things. | 00:53 |
| syntax | mint looks nice to | 00:53 |
| m3onh0x84 | hi every body | 00:53 |
| trimeta | Cube: Yea, specifically look at /etc/crontab; that'll tell you when things in cron.daily are run. | 00:53 |
| funkywds | syntax: i've been running mint for a long time now. it really smoothes out some of ubuntu's edges | 00:54 |
| funkywds | syntax: mintInstall is pretty great. it's like Ubuntu's add/remove programs, but has screenshots, user ratings and reviews built into the app | 00:54 |
| m3onh0x84 | I want to ask a question: I want to auto report bug to launchpad so not log in to web site ? | 00:54 |
| Cube | trimeta: ooh! perfect. thanks A LOT. (so if my computer is not running at 3am, it will wait till i start it up e.g. at 8am and the run the daily things??) | 00:55 |
| syntax | Thats nicee...Is it pretty stable? | 00:55 |
| m3onh0x84 | because sometime I disconnect | 00:55 |
| losher | funkywds: salmon: at this stage, I would still be concerned about your hardware. Run an overnight memtest, and also download & run the WD disk diagnostics.... | 00:55 |
| funkywds | syntax: very. as much as ubuntu | 00:55 |
| trimeta | Cube: I'm not sure...I think you may need to install anacron to do that. Though it may already be installed by default... | 00:55 |
| funkywds | losher: salmon: i concur | 00:55 |
| superGear | If you want stable you use slackware | 00:55 |
| trimeta | superGear: No, if you want stable you use Debian. | 00:56 |
| funkywds | trimeta: if you want stable, you use windows 95 | 00:56 |
| trimeta | funkywds: My BSOD says otherwise. ;-) | 00:56 |
| losher | superGear: slackware isn't the only stable solution. Centos springs to mind. And the bsds.... | 00:56 |
| kj | im a dj and im new to this OS im trying to find a dns and a way to download stuff | 00:56 |
| Scunizi | funkywds: stable is DOS 5.0 | 00:57 |
| legend2440 | pianistbaby: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html | 00:57 |
| mechtech | ubuntu is improved debian | 00:57 |
| pianistbaby | legend2440: thanks. | 00:57 |
| funkywds | Scunizi: lol | 00:57 |
| trimeta | Personally, I don't want stable, so it's all moot from my perspective. | 00:57 |
| m3onh0x84 | :D | 00:57 |
| funkywds | trimeta: lol | 00:57 |
| Scunizi | funkywds: thought you might get a kick out of that :) | 00:57 |
| mechtech | kj: use google's dns, and try frostwire | 00:58 |
| felix_ | FirstSgt, ty for help. reinstalling php solved. :P cya | 00:58 |
| superGear | If you want stable you use FreeBSD actually :P | 00:58 |
| funkywds | Scunizi: remember, win95 ran on DOS 6.0, 6.2, and 6.22 | 00:58 |
| losher | trimeta: in that case we have lots of solutions for you :-) | 00:58 |
| trimeta | losher: I'm running Gentoo, so yea. | 00:58 |
| kj | ty mec and can i use Mirc on this OS? | 00:58 |
| samalex | yay, I'm about to order a System76 Pangolin Performance laptop :) Anyone else using System76? | 00:58 |
| mechtech | supergear: the discerning user who wants stable buys a Mac | 00:58 |
| superGear | remember when Windows Me tried to hide its DOS | 00:58 |
| trimeta | kj: mIRC is Windows-only. | 00:58 |
| kj | ty | 00:58 |
| superGear | kj: you can use mIRC with WINE but why? | 00:58 |
| mechtech | kj: frostwire for windows | 00:58 |
| solexious|netbk | Does any one know if I have 2 dual dvi graphics cards on one system, can I output to 4 screens? (nvidia) | 00:58 |
| Scunizi | funkywds: yep.. remember win3.1? or even 3.0? I use to run DOS 3-5 with no gui and a $400 300baud modem (Hayes) | 00:59 |
| kj | i ot a chat i goto on mirc | 00:59 |
| kj | unless i can get to it with this | 00:59 |
| trimeta | kj: There are lots of other IRC clients you can use on Linux. | 00:59 |
| Pay87 | anyone who knows how to hide the mouse courser on the secondary screen when i am on the other screen?? using nvidia with compiz. seperate x screens.. ?? | 00:59 |
| superGear | kj: xchat and konversation are good IRC alternatives | 00:59 |
| Greyfox | GOOD NIGHT ! | 00:59 |
| guestadmin | Is there a way to undo a sudo mv command? Accidentally mispelled to folder and it created some unreadable non directory with the misspelled name, and some how my file inside of it | 00:59 |
| funkywds | Scunizi: i was a ms beta tester for 10 years. i remember 1.0 and 2.0. i then remember running back to my mac and wondering what the hell was wrong with those guys | 00:59 |
| superGear | mIRC =! IRC | 00:59 |
| kj | ty lol | 00:59 |
| Scunizi | funkywds: :)) | 00:59 |
| trimeta | guestadmin: Well, you can just move it somewhere else...if you can't even type the name, though, you're kind of in trouble. | 01:00 |
| mechtech | LOL @ funkywds! | 01:00 |
| kj | im still trying to set up the wifi on this thing | 01:00 |
| funkywds | Scunizi: i'm a mac guy now, but i'm really into linux, too, esp debian/ubuntu variants | 01:00 |
| superGear | wicd | 01:00 |
| losher | guestadmin: can you tell us the *exact* mv command you mistyped? | 01:00 |
| * superGear hates mac fanbois | 01:01 | |
| funkywds | Scunizi: but i'm looking forward to the day when some linux flavor can really give osx a run for the money | 01:01 |
| mindframe | im using ubuntu 8.04 and the login window is not popping up when I get past the boot process. | 01:01 |
| funkywds | Scunizi: but for everyone who doesn't have a mac, i recomment ubunut/linux mint | 01:01 |
| trimeta | funkywds: I'm betting on Ubuntu being the one to pull that off. | 01:01 |
| mechtech | mindframe: xserver not loading? | 01:01 |
| superGear | 9.04 is much better than 8 | 01:01 |
| funkywds | trimeta: well canonical just announced that "osx is the one to beat" | 01:01 |
| Scunizi | funkywds: never played with mac.. got confused once when I was still MS-washed. But we're seriously off topic.. #ubuntu-offtopic.. but I gotta go anyway.. cheers! | 01:01 |
| mindframe | mechtech, X is up, just no login window | 01:02 |
| mechtech | mindframe: do yo have a command prompt? | 01:02 |
| mindframe | mechtech, no it's at a gui with a mouse, just no login window | 01:02 |
| mechtech | mindframe: it booted directly to your desktop environment? | 01:03 |
| causasui | I have a USB hard drive that I want to use for computer repair service. If I partition it and copy the files from the ubuntu install ISO onto a partition, then install grub, will it work? | 01:03 |
| mindframe | mechtech, its not my DE. no icons or toolbars | 01:03 |
| mindframe | just a screen with a mouse | 01:03 |
| trimeta | causasui: Probably better to do the USB install thing. Let me go remember how that works... | 01:03 |
| === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ | ||
| causasui | trimeta: I ask because I want to do it with some other ISOs as well, such as Hiren's bootCD | 01:04 |
| trimeta | causasui: Just copying things wouldn't work, because it wouldn't properly set up the boot loader. | 01:04 |
| causasui | trimeta: That's why I was going to install grub | 01:04 |
| mechtech | causasui: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-the-easy-way/ | 01:04 |
| trimeta | To get Ubuntu to work, you can go to Sytem>Administration>USB Startup Disk Creator | 01:05 |
| causasui | All right, this will work for that one at least, but what about the other ISOs I want like Hiren? Can GRUB work with those? | 01:05 |
| mechtech | mindframe: seems like you might have hosed xserver | 01:05 |
| trimeta | causasui: If you want more than one, it gets confusing; I'm honestly not sure how to set it up reliably. | 01:05 |
| mechtech | mindframe: I'm gonna bow out now to someone with more knowledge | 01:05 |
| mindframe | mechtech, should i dpkg --reconfigure or remove and install? | 01:06 |
| mechtech | mindfram: remove and re-install...then reconfigure to get to where you were | 01:06 |
| mindframe | mechtech: what package name? | 01:06 |
| kj | i got a error with frostwire somthing about sunjava | 01:07 |
| axeus | I'm having some trouble with Gparted showing my disk as unallocated. I ran it from terminal and I got the error "Cannot have overlapping partitions.".. I just did a scan with Testdisk, does anyone see any overlapping partitions or anything? I'm not sure how to look for it lol. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2a028872 | 01:07 |
| mechtech | mindframe: again...bowing out to someone with more knowledge...I would hate to hose your system further | 01:07 |
| mindframe | heh :) | 01:07 |
| Cube | trimeta: oh? well i have this ubuntuzilla script. it checks if i have the latest firefox. its a daily cron event. it also works when im not on at 3am ;) | 01:08 |
| Pay87 | anyone who knows how to hide mouse cursor on separate x screens? | 01:08 |
| Cube | trimeta: how should i write a script so it waits until i have an internet connection? | 01:08 |
| trimeta | Cube: Hmm. Well, you could have it check for internet connection, and if not then sleep for 10 minutes and try again. | 01:09 |
| trimeta | That isn't using cron, though. | 01:09 |
| Cube | trimeta: yeah! how should i write that. the internet connection check i mean | 01:09 |
| Cube | (yeah im aware its bash not cron) | 01:09 |
| trimeta | Cube: I don't know, something fancy with ping and seeing if you're getting a response? Or check if you've got an IP address in ifconfig? Get creative. | 01:10 |
| Cube | trimeta: heh lol ok. btw if im on via wireless, it would still work with ifconfig right? | 01:12 |
| trimeta | Cube: Yea, ifconfig will tell you your IP address either way. It will be in a different-looking line, though, so if you're using grep to parse the output make sure you take that into account. | 01:12 |
| ferna56 | Hi..everyone | 01:12 |
| trimeta | !hi | ferna56 | 01:13 |
| ubottu | ferna56: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:13 |
| Pay87 | damn mouse cursor fu*ks ne up :D | 01:13 |
| ferna56 | I'm having some problems with my ubuntu server installations.. version 8.04 | 01:13 |
| trimeta | ferna56: Could you be more specific? | 01:13 |
| trimeta | I've got a couple of servers running Hardy, so I'll help if I can. | 01:14 |
| Cube | trimeta: im pretty new to bash actually. how should i write the whole IF clause, and how would i make it look for a ping response? | 01:14 |
| ZOMBE | Hello. Could I get some help with installing software? | 01:14 |
| ferna56 | I was installing joomla, and ran the following command on the joomla directory.. sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; and suddenly I lost access to everything.. | 01:15 |
| ferna56 | I could not even run an ls on the directory.. anymore.. | 01:15 |
| ZOMBE | Could I get some help? | 01:16 |
| trimeta | Cube: Let's see..."ping -c 4 google.com" will try sending 4 packets to Google. You should get four responses that look like "64 bytes from yx-in-f100.google.com (74.125.45.100): icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=70.3 ms" | 01:16 |
| mubu | Hey guys synaptic failed to install something and now i cant install any packagaes cause im told synaptic is already running. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? thanks | 01:16 |
| ferna56 | the apache server went down.. the postfix server went down.. | 01:16 |
| ZOMBE | Nobody can help me? | 01:17 |
| dataviruset | please help me - a quick one... what does if [ -z ... ] check in shell programming? | 01:17 |
| mubu | Anyone? | 01:17 |
| VCoolio | ZOMBE: just tell what you're installing and how, maybe someone has a suggestion | 01:17 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: List your problem instead of just asking | 01:17 |
| Cube | trimeta: alright kk. now :)? | 01:17 |
| ZOMBE | I am trying to install this file NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run and I can't figure out how to. | 01:17 |
| trimeta | ferna56: You're sure you were in the joomla directory when you ran that command? | 01:17 |
| ZOMBE | I looked up guides online and can't see mto find a helpful one I can understand. | 01:18 |
| trimeta | Cube: Now, ping -c 4 google.com|grep -qe "^64 bytes" will return with a 0 exit status if you have network connection, and a non-zero status if you don't. | 01:18 |
| Zxcvb | how do you compile a kernel for a 32 bit x86 system when you are on x86-64? | 01:18 |
| ferna56 | yes I do... I have the putty screen just to make sure... I was there... | 01:18 |
| dataviruset | please help me - a quick one... what does if [ -z ... ] check in shell programming? | 01:18 |
| iceroot | trimeta: ping -c 4 host && echo 0 is much easier then yours | 01:19 |
| Cube | trimeta: gotcha! thats good. how do i form the IF clause though? lets say the command that it has to do if there is internet is "foo" | 01:19 |
| trimeta | iceroot: Ah, I wasn't sure if ping returned an appropriate exit status. | 01:19 |
| iceroot | trimeta: yes | 01:19 |
| trimeta | Though, will pinging host detect lack of internet connection, if net.lo is working? | 01:19 |
| ferna56 | we rebooted and can't login... the server sends a message that says could not CD to home/username.. access denied... | 01:20 |
| losher | dataviruset: man test | 01:20 |
| kj | im trying to install a network manger for wirless and i cant do it i dont know how | 01:20 |
| GaMeStEr2665 | Hello! | 01:20 |
| Cube | trimeta: hmm. lol. | 01:20 |
| Temlar_Xion | kj apt-get install network-manager | 01:20 |
| shell | kj, ubuntu has one built in | 01:20 |
| GaMeStEr2665 | naked pics | 01:20 |
| GaMeStEr2665 | ? | 01:20 |
| dataviruset | losher: big thanks to you :) | 01:21 |
| Cube | trimeta: cause see my problem is the script i have updates some status of me on the internet, right? now if it runs while i have no internet connection, it wont do anything | 01:21 |
| ferna56 | we had to boot by GRUP and recovery mode right to the root prompt... | 01:21 |
| losher | ZOMBE: if I recall, it's a shell script. You have to kill your X11 server and then run it like so: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run | 01:21 |
| dahlia | is there any gui like thingie for adding a 2nd disk and formatting it? I think I want to add a big reiserfs disk and I'm not sure of the best way to do it | 01:22 |
| kj | shell i cant get it to work | 01:22 |
| Doug_M | Hey everyone.. just to let you know im new to all Linux distro's. I have always been a mac user but recently moved to florida and using a PC my mom gave me. Im looking for a Linux distro to install and have been leaning towards Ubuntu. My question is.. how hard is it to get used to? I have been a mac user forever and just cant stand PC's. | 01:22 |
| freefm | Hi, I'm having a strange problem. I'm trying to run FreeCAD, but when I run "./visual freecad8.im" (as the instructions state) I get the error "./visual: No such file or directory" even though "ls" lists the file "visual" | 01:22 |
| ZOMBE | I do sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run in my Terminal but all it says is "Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run" It's saved on my desktop, does that make a difference? I am 100% new to Linux, I used Windows since literally 3.1 | 01:23 |
| losher | dahlia: gparted is probably the app of choice for that | 01:23 |
| dahlia | Doug_M, Ubuntu is probably the easiest distro I've ever used | 01:23 |
| iceroot | Doug_M: ubuntu is ok for beginners | 01:23 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: type ls -l | 01:23 |
| dahlia | ty losher, looking... | 01:23 |
| lillis | and tell me what it says about the NVIDIA file | 01:23 |
| ferna56 | there are some lines on the bootup process trying to load some configuration files.. and guess.. permission denied...! | 01:23 |
| trimeta | Cube: Anyway, iceroot is right; just doing "ping -c 4 google.com > /dev/null" gives you the status as appropriate. | 01:23 |
| iceroot | Doug_M: and if yu can handle BSD, you can also handle ubuntu | 01:23 |
| fortunev | How do I enable Large File Support in Ubuntu? | 01:23 |
| losher | ZOMBE: you need to cd Desktop first | 01:23 |
| shell | you see the bar at the top of the screen at the right hand corner there is a icon that looks like stairs steeps | 01:23 |
| FrozenFire | Does anyone else experience constant stuttering with HD video on Youtube? I have an Intel 82945G/GZ graphics chipset. | 01:24 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: what string of letters is it? (like -rwx-----) or something like that | 01:24 |
| ZOMBE | losher: do you have a link to a guy that can tell me how to cd my dekstop? | 01:24 |
| trimeta | So if you want to sleep while you have no internet, you can do "while ! ping -c 4 google.com > /dev/null; do sleep 10m; done" | 01:24 |
| FrozenFire | It's not so much that the audio stutters, but rather that the video refuses to play smoothly | 01:24 |
| jdu | ZOMBE, you probably need to type: cd Desktop first | 01:24 |
| soreau | Doug_M: You will like ubuntu. Many Mac lovers use linux and have helped make it easy to look like a Mac + better | 01:24 |
| trimeta | Though I'd check that before running it. | 01:24 |
| freefm | ZOMBE: "cd Desktop" | 01:24 |
| losher | ZOMBE: you literally type "cd Desktop" | 01:24 |
| Zxcvb | are there any kernel 2.6.30.3 packages for jaunty? | 01:25 |
| shell | FrozenFire, try reinstalling flash player | 01:25 |
| soreau | Doug_M: Also, ubuntu is most probably the best linux distro for a noob to linux because it caters to users | 01:25 |
| Doug_M | iceroot, dahlia, soreau: cool thanks guys... yeah im really looking forward to using it. Prepairing to install it right now. A few things I am worried about is using Ventrillo, and im a web developer so ill hav to find apps to use | 01:25 |
| ZOMBE | That worked, then when I did NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run it said bash: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run command not found | 01:25 |
| soreau | Doug_M: There is a LOT of support for it | 01:25 |
| FrozenFire | shell: It has happened under multiple installations. It's not an issue with my specific installation, beyond configuration | 01:25 |
| === fufghgihiuj is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr | ||
| Cube | trimeta: wow wait. but how can i use that information that is now stored in a file? | 01:25 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: don't forget the sh before | 01:25 |
| freefm | ZMBE try ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run | 01:25 |
| dahlia | Doug_M, you can run it from the cd if you want to try it before installing it | 01:25 |
| lillis | or that freefm said :) | 01:25 |
| iceroot | Doug_M: for th important question, yes you can use photoshop with wine | 01:26 |
| shell | FrozenFire, ok i honastly dont know | 01:26 |
| iceroot | Doug_M: :) | 01:26 |
| soreau | Doug_M: Google what ever you need with keyword 'ubuntu' or 'linux' and if you can't figure it out, ask here or in ##linux | 01:26 |
| ZOMBE | I typed sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run and it started to work then I get a error must be run as root | 01:26 |
| ZOMBE | It's getting closer to working | 01:26 |
| dahlia | if I could only use 3ds max with wine :( | 01:26 |
| ferna56 | can anybody ... help me.. please... | 01:26 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: running something as root requires typing "sudo" before and giving it your password | 01:26 |
| iceroot | !sudo | ZOMBE | 01:26 |
| ubottu | ZOMBE: 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) | 01:26 |
| freefm | ZOMBE, you're also going to turn off X | 01:26 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: like "sudo sh NVIDIA bla bla" and then enter your password | 01:26 |
| Cube | Doug_M: ventrillo will have a linux client very soon, but does not yet | 01:26 |
| Cube | Doug_M: check their website | 01:26 |
| Doug_M | cool thanks sorreau.. iceroot yeah i was looking at that... but after reading everything i have iv decided Ubuntu looks the best and i really just need to get rid of vista.. its pissing me off | 01:26 |
| Doug_M | cube - hey thanks ill look into it | 01:27 |
| trimeta | Cube: Put that line in a bash script; it should halt the script until you have internet access. | 01:27 |
| bieb | can I upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.04? | 01:27 |
| ZOMBE | What lillis said work, now it tells me to turn off x. How can I go about that? | 01:27 |
| Cube | trimeta: ooh! ok | 01:27 |
| iceroot | Doug_M: not only you... | 01:27 |
| Cube | trimeta: put it on the very top right? | 01:27 |
| Pay87 | how to hide a mouse cursor on secondary screen when i am on the primary???? :( | 01:27 |
| Doug_M | haha | 01:27 |
| freefm | ZOMBE, Write down the code first | 01:27 |
| iceroot | bieb: no | 01:27 |
| ZOMBE | Sorry, what do you mean by the code? | 01:27 |
| freefm | ZOMBE, Then sudo killall xorg | 01:27 |
| computer | hi i cant seem to be able to write to my hard drive. someone help please. | 01:27 |
| Doug_M | alright guys here i go.. im sure ill be here asking quesitons once i start the process | 01:27 |
| trimeta | Cube: Before the stuff you don't want to happen when you have no internet. But it needs to be after the #!/bin/bash line. | 01:27 |
| bieb | iceroot: how do I upgrade to 9.04 then? | 01:28 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: to install those drivers you need to not be using the graphical interface | 01:28 |
| Cube | trimeta: yeah. thanks :) | 01:28 |
| iceroot | bieb: 8.04 then 8.10 then 9.04 | 01:28 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: so you'll have to type "sudo killall xorg" to kill the graphics user interface (i.e. the desktop) | 01:28 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: that will launch you back to a black and white text screen, there run the same thing | 01:28 |
| lillis | ZOMBE: sudo sh NVIDIA-etc-etc | 01:28 |
| ZOMBE | I get xorg: no process killed | 01:28 |
| Cube | trimeta: ima use facebook.com though | 01:28 |

| ThreeNertia | lol | 01:48 |
| lillis | davertron: gnome, gdm, xorg, firefox, openoffice etc.. but really the big issue is making sure that a lot of useless programs run in the background, like sound daemons etc | 01:48 |
| msds1502 | So i boot up my computer and it goes into GRUB, giving me the option to boot Ubuntu (in various modes) or go to the Vista/Windows Loader. I would like the Vista loader to come first and give the option of going into the Ubuntu/GRUB loader | 01:48 |

| smxy | and the corresponding command to RH's chkconfig command is? | 02:01 |
| ThreeNertia | Yes | 02:01 |
| smxy | I need to turn off all non-essential services | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | I need to track down a good Ubuntu Runlevels/init system for beginners guide. the 'upstart' pages are for more advanced ussage | 02:01 |
| ThreeNertia | It just sits there "Waiting for network" | 02:01 |
| brandonmpace | ThreeNertia: just a sec, I know the solution | 02:01 |
| ThreeNertia | I know dial-up is slow, but it shouldn't take forever | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | smxy: use some of the various 'sysv' init tools to mange whats running . | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | smxy: no idea what 'chkconfig' does. | 02:02 |
| brandonmpace | ThreeNertia: http://www.pidgin.im/download/ | 02:02 |
| brandonmpace | ThreeNertia: you need to install the latest version from that site | 02:02 |
| KB1JWQ | msds1502: It should be in /boot or /etc | 02:02 |
| smxy | adds/removes the links in the /etc/rc.d directories fr each runlevel | 02:02 |
| losher | Dr_Willis: apparently neither do the ubuntu developers, either... | 02:02 |
| ThreeNertia | I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling | 02:02 |
| msds1502 | you don't want the menu.lst? | 02:02 |
| ThreeNertia | Didn't work | 02:02 |
| ThreeNertia | I'll try it again, though | 02:02 |
| KB1JWQ | msds1502: Both. | 02:02 |
| brandonmpace | ThreeNertia: yahoo changed their server security settings. Did you update after you did that? | 02:02 |
| brandonmpace | ThreeNertia: in pidgin click help> about | 02:03 |
| brandonmpace | tell me the version number | 02:03 |
| ThreeNertia | Is there some sort of auto-updating | 02:03 |
| ThreeNertia | Or is there a command I need to issue or ? | 02:03 |
| brandonmpace | just go to System>Administration>Update Manager | 02:03 |
| brandonmpace | and check for updates | 02:04 |
| ThreeNertia | Ahhh | 02:04 |
| ThreeNertia | Must be blind, lol | 02:04 |

| brandonmpace | It should update to 2.5.8 | 02:04 |
| ThreeNertia | Now I just gotta figure out how to mount my usb Sony dvd burner to /mnt/Sony | 02:05 |
| smxy | Oh, I'd rather learn the proper ubuntu method | 02:05 |
| losher | smxy: when you see what the 'proper ubuntu method' is, you might reconsider... | 02:05 |
| smxy | haha | 02:05 |
| smxy | yes, all flavors of unix and linux are so different from each other | 02:06 |
| ThreeNertia | For being essentially the same, anyway | 02:06 |
| KB1JWQ | msds1502: Set default to 6 or 7; I'm not sure offhand; might ask in #grub | 02:06 |
| brandonmpace | ThreeNertia: it automounts when you put media in it | 02:06 |

| brandonmpace | did you put a blank disc in? | 02:07 |
| smxy | I read about update-rc.d but the man page says admins should not use that and should use sys-rc-conf or bum instead. A man of either produced nothing though | 02:07 |
| ThreeNertia | No, it's an audio cd | 02:07 |
| brandonmpace | ah | 02:07 |
| losher | smxy: check out man update-rc.d | 02:07 |

| viagrastim | i try to install utorrent in wine it dont work | 02:08 |
| ThreeNertia | brandonmpace: Is there something I'm missing, or not understanding? | 02:08 |
| losher | smxy: told you you'd reconsider. It's a mess... | 02:08 |
| smxy | :) | 02:08 |
| smxy | so that *is* the command I should use then? | 02:08 |
| smxy | or should I just go into rc2.d and start deleting links like in the old days? | 02:09 |

| sebsebseb | viagrastim: it should work in wine | 02:09 |
| brandonmpace | idk, if you open rhythmbox does it show up? | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | !work | viagrastim KB1JWQ | 02:09 |
| ubottu | viagrastim KB1JWQ: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 02:09 |
| ThreeNertia | Yes, it all works fine | 02:09 |

| kleedrac | OK I installed Wine but it couldn't run the application I wanted so I installed cxover office but I'm pretty sure Ubuntu is still associating a ./*.exe back to /usr/bin/wine instead of the cxover version ... any way to correct this? | 03:27 |
| losher | mataks: I've no idea what that means. Start googling :-) | 03:27 |

| gartral | coleys: one more and i call ops in | 03:33 |
| Saruji | jrib hmm I went to install the others and it showed ubuntu-desktop as not install, so I tried to install it and it read that gtk2-engine-ubuntulooks has to be removed | 03:33 |

| RPG_Master | I kinda like amarok... but its all QT and stuff... | 03:34 |

| coleys | or banshee. | 03:40 |
| bastidrazor | to mount a folder from another ubuntu box on LAN i would? | 03:40 |
| coleys | is the way to go, songbird is a ram eater. | 03:40 |
| RPG_Master | I like banshee more then amarok :P | 03:40 |
| overclucker | never said it wasn't | 03:40 |
| RPG_Master | but to each his own :) | 03:40 |
| hyperionx11 | thetimewarp, did you install flash-installer from the wizard not the other flash implementations? | 03:40 |
| coleys | RPG_Master: Exactly the way I feel, im entitled to my oppinion too ;) losher and gartral should respect itttt. :) | 03:41 |
| overclucker | i have a gig of ram, and will likely never throttle it with songbird | 03:41 |
| Fezzler | I have a 17.3 MB PDF file. Can I load it in a Ubuntu program and reduce its size? | 03:41 |
| thetimewarp | hyperionx: I installed it with Wine from the flash website | 03:41 |
| losher | bastid_raZor: ...configure nfs on the client & the server, then nfs mount the folder on the client | 03:41 |
| coleys | Anyways, im off. *wew* | 03:41 |
| TwoToneSpirit | I get "connection closed" with vinagre localhost despite everything in vino-preferences looking OK. | 03:41 |
| hyperionx11 | thetimewarp, i dont think you need wine for flash?!? there is native player.... goto system->administration->synaptic... search for flash-installer and install that | 03:42 |
| RPG_Master | Oh, back to my problem. How do I get VLC to go back to its original settings with out actually using its setting manager? | 03:43 |
| bastidrazor | losher, i've been mounting it via the GUI via places>connect to server .. i'm looking to mount it automatically on boot. | 03:43 |

| Saruji | what is the "make link" option? | 03:43 |

| thetimewarp | hyperionx, okay thanks, let me get on that.. and overclucker, that explains why it wasn't working haha | 03:43 |
| losher | bastid_raZor: I believe that uses samba, an alternative to nfs. Nothing wrong with that, but someone else will have to advise you | 03:44 |
| overclucker | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer; sudo /tmp/adobe* | 03:44 |

| thetimewarp | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 03:45 |
| bastidrazor | losher, actually nfs looks to be exactly what i want. a wee bit of set up and all should be fine. | 03:46 |
| RPG_Master | DougM: Easy, go to Edit > Preferences and then select Music management. Then tell it where your music folder is :) | 03:46 |
| DougM | RPG_Master: cool thanks | 03:47 |
| losher | bastid_raZor: I think you can do what you want with samba also (though I don't know how). Better performance with nfs is all... | 03:47 |

| hyperionx11 | thetimewarp, does youtube work? | 04:06 |
| hyperionx11 | thetimewarp, if it says flash isnt installed but your game is flickering you dont have the right flash installed | 04:06 |
| edbian | thetimewarp: It is probably just poor performance. None of the flash's available work flawlessly (or even well in my opinion). However if you have more than 1 installed it is difficult to tell which one you're actually using. I suggest installing only 1 at a time and testing it out. Use more than one flash site though. The open source flash players work on youtube but not many other sites. | 04:07 |

| thetimewarp | overclucker; Thanks, I'll try that out | 04:10 |
| edbian | hyperionx11: Even with your advanced processor from 4 years ago!?!!? | 04:10 |
| hyperionx11 | thetimewarp, i could suggest a reboot? lulz | 04:10 |
| overclucker | timewarp, that means verry little, since only the installer is installed | 04:10 |
| trppy | do you animate ur skydome? | 04:10 |
| edbian | thetimewarp: That's closed source adobe flash 10 (flashplugin-installer is actually a meta pacakge for "flashplugin-nonfree" ) | 04:10 |
| johnny13 | hyperionx11, well, my p4 (using the best available p4 hardware available) too would play 1080p smoothly. its normal | 04:10 |
| edbian | trppy: I never have. Why? | 04:11 |
| johnny13 | hyperionx11, wouldn't* | 04:11 |
| edbian | overclucker: flashplugin-installer is a misleading name. It actually installs "flashplugin-nonfree" which is adobe flash 10 | 04:11 |

| TheSaintx86 | does anyone tether iphone? | 04:12 |
| thetimewarp | edbian: okay, I installed flashplugin-nonfree and it came up with the Changes Applied box. Is that all I need to do? | 04:12 |
| edbian | johnny13: hyperionx11: Why are you using adobe flash to play 1080p videos? Where do you find a 1080p flash video anyway? | 04:12 |
| lintin | i have a sweet system i just put together....... | 04:12 |
| TheSaintx86 | does anyone tether ubuntu 9.04 to iphone? | 04:13 |
| lintin | so I run compiz and its actually very usefull | 04:13 |
| hyperionx11 | edbian, isn't youtube HD videos..? | 04:13 |
| lintin | will linux use all 8gb of ddr2 ram i put in it? | 04:13 |
| nnull | vbox website doesnt list a linux host specific to KDE (kubuntu 9.04) will the Ubuntu 9.04 one work? | 04:13 |
| edbian | hyperionx11: I don't think it's true HD. Doesn't it actually say "HQ" as in High Quality ?? | 04:13 |
| johnny13 | edbian, i never said I use flash to play 1080p | 04:14 |
| RPG_Master | I am back :D | 04:14 |
| edbian | johnny13: Oh! My bad then! :) | 04:14 |
| Claxton | I lied ^^ im back! | 04:14 |
| edbian | nnull: virtualbox will run in KDE | 04:14 |
| hyperionx11 | edbian, im basing my decision off that button, ive though Ive seen HQ and HD | 04:14 |
| overclucker | is this a 64 bit system, with the 8 gigs ram? | 04:14 |
| RPG_Master | I am sure no one knew I was gone :D | 04:14 |
| kindofabuzz | this isn't aol | 04:14 |
| lintin | no | 04:15 |
| lintin | not 64 bit | 04:15 |
| lintin | should i put ubuntu 64bit on? | 04:15 |
| johnny13 | hyperionx11, maybe time for an upgrade? p3 does the job for normal web surfing but nothing too graphic intensive now adays. How much ram you got on there? | 04:15 |
| thetimewarp | So far, the game seems to be working. :D Thanks for all your help, everyone | 04:15 |
| RPG_Master | kindofabuzz: :( .... ;) | 04:15 |
| edbian | hyperionx11:That is true! I just found one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_oBZcdz-UE&feature=related supposedly I can "watch in HD" I wonder if it's true HD. (as in 1080p) | 04:16 |
| RPG_Master | nope, 720P | 04:16 |
| edbian | RPG_Master: You were missed! Thank you | 04:16 |
| RPG_Master | REALLY?! :D | 04:16 |

| shane2peru | what is too hot a processor temp to be running? 85-90C ?? | 04:24 |
| DougM | RPG_Master.. yeah im gonna search around online.. its really weird. | 04:24 |
| shane2peru | This is a laptop | 04:24 |
| overclucker | or, install side by side, if oyu have an extra partition | 04:25 |
| RPG_Master | try using www.uboontu.com | 04:25 |
| duckwars | I'm having very difficult time with screen. I have like 6 sockets running but I can't figure out how to get back to them | 04:25 |
| RPG_Master | it only searches Linux related stuff | 04:25 |
| Swish | 90C... man that's going to make you sterile :) | 04:25 |
| Mouse | ok guys I have a logitech webcam and when I try to use it the cam is soo blurry that nobody can see anything but my silouette this is what dmesg tells me http://www.pastebin.org/4702 | 04:25 |
| overclucker | duckwars: screen -ls | 04:25 |
| rww | duckwars: screen -r | 04:25 |
| shane2peru | does anyone know anything about laptop operational temps? and it seems as though mine is overheating | 04:26 |
| overclucker | and unless you detatched them improperly, screen -r (partial socket identifier) | 04:26 |
| duckwars | whenever I do the screen -r pid it just says "there is no screen to be resumed matching 28077" | 04:26 |
| duckwars | even though it is there in the screen -ls | 04:26 |
| Swish | shane2peru, check to see if your laptop fan has died. if not, try to blow out dust | 04:27 |
| overclucker | duckwars, maybe you should name your sockets | 04:27 |
| overclucker | and to that last comment, try screen -x pid | 04:27 |
| shane2peru | Swish, fan is working fine, it is practically new, I had a problem with it before Jaunty too, but seemed to have disappeared, and now is back | 04:27 |
| duckwars | how do I do that? How can I terminate these damned sockets??!?! | 04:27 |
| Swish | shane2peru, could be loose Heatsink | 04:28 |
| overclucker | sounds like you didn't detatch properly | 04:28 |
| shane2peru | Swish, before I added noacpi to the menu.lst and that fixed it, now it doesn't | 04:28 |
| shane2peru | Swish, soo, not sure what to do, and what is acceptable temp to run a processor. | 04:28 |
| rww | duckwars: try screen -dr to detach first? | 04:29 |
| overclucker | screen -x pid should attach it for you | 04:29 |
| duckwars | screen -x pid seems to put me on that screen, then i ctrl^a k and kills the screen but the socket still exists!! | 04:29 |
| Swish | shane2peru, 90C probably isn't too hot for the CPU, but it's not good for human beings's laps | 04:29 |
| Swish | the parts around the CPU will die faster as well | 04:29 |
| Guest39346 | hello, I have a question about which version of ubuntu to install. I'm currently running the 64-bit version of Jaunty Jackalope on AMD64 architecture; however, I've noticed that when I try to install certain applications, such as Skype and Flash, I receive an error message saying wrong architecture. Hence, I was considering installing the 32-bit version. What pros/cons do I get from the 64-bit version over 3 | 04:29 |
| Guest39346 | 2-bit? I primarily use my computer for media playback, word processing, internet, etc. Nothing too demanding. | 04:29 |
| shane2peru | Swish, right, now it is "idling" and running at 78C, when I start a process, it really starts cooking | 04:30 |
| Mouse | ok guys I have a logitech webcam and when I try to use it the cam is soo blurry that nobody can see anything but my silouette this is what dmesg tells me http://www.pastebin.org/4702 | 04:30 |
| askvictor | I've changed an volume in LVM, then going to change another one I get "locking type 1 initialisation failed". Any other lvm commands I try give the same thing. Any ideas? | 04:31 |
| shane2peru | Swish, hmm, just started a video processing, we hit 95C, fan kicks up to high speed | 04:31 |
| shane2peru | Swish, oops, just hit 100C | 04:31 |
| Swish | shane2peru, google that CPU's temps | 04:31 |
| shane2peru | Swish, will do, was hoping someone was a processor temp wizard. :) | 04:32 |

| stryker | [SSS]GhOsT: hey bro | 05:51 |
| joey_ | okay, thanks for hte advice. I have an iocrest esata express card, and an ocz throttle esata thumbdrive. The first time I plugged it in, xubuntu gave some odd message about HAL. Now, lspci detects the card, but I can't figure out how to access the drive when it's plugged in. It works by usb, but with esata I can't find it in blkid or fdisk -l | 05:51 |
| se7en | I am going to keep a journal about my experience and blog it online somewhere... haven't found a site yet | 05:51 |
| [SSS]GhOsT | heys | 05:51 |
| stryker | cool, now i added you to the online list, let me verify | 05:51 |
| JRSmile | Any one tested xbmc as ubuntu media center? I wonder why it is so unstable on a netbook | 05:51 |
| nanotube | ozatomic: easiest thing to do is to check if the file hasn't been modified in say, a minute - then you know it's complete. ? | 05:51 |
| outy | my cube only has two sides, how do i make it have six ? | 05:52 |
| outy | four | 05:52 |
| pog | se7en: I can give you access to my wiki:-) | 05:52 |
| Peddy | how do I make a script run every time the computer resumes from suspend? There are some tutorials on ubuntuforums, but they're all for the older, deprecated acpi way of suspending (not pm). | 05:53 |
| Peddy | !boot | 05:53 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 05:53 |
| ozatomic | nanotube: yeah that was the next thing i was going to do, if file has not grown in a min or changed in a min | 05:54 |
| Peddy | is there still a netsplit? | 05:54 |
| nanotube | Peddy: scripts that run on resume live in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ | 05:54 |
| pog | i'm really wondering how I can actiate a few more messages in evolution, so I can check, what happens when it filters.... | 05:54 |
| nanotube | Peddy: look at a couple that are in there to see how they figure out if computer is going into sleep, or resuming from it, etc. | 05:54 |
| mechtech | outy: compizconfig settings manager>general options>desktop size> horizontal virtual size=4, or 6 or whatever | 05:54 |
| Peddy | thanks nanotube, I was looking in /etc/pm/sleep.d/, which was empty. | 05:55 |
| se7en | send me the link. I want to check it out. | 05:55 |
| nanotube | ozatomic: well, other than that - you can have the windows host write a zero-length file named something like "file1.mpg is complete", after it finishes writing the mpg. that way, once the empty file appears, you know it's done. | 05:55 |
| nanotube | Peddy: np :) | 05:56 |
| seraf | Hey | 05:56 |
| joey_ | can anyone help me? I have an iocrest esata express card, and an ocz throttle esata thumbdrive. The first time I plugged it in, xubuntu gave some odd message about HAL. Now, lspci detects the card, but I can't figure out how to access the drive when it's plugged in. It works by usb, but with esata I can't find it in blkid or fdisk -l | 05:56 |

| seraf | I still have gaim when I go to a yahoo chat room no one can see my text how can i get it to work? | 05:57 |
| seraf | Hey nanotube | 05:57 |
| nanotube | seraf: ehrm... gaim? or pidgin? | 05:57 |
| seraf | gaim | 05:57 |
| seraf | yeah I am using an old version of ubuntu | 05:58 |
| ozatomic | nanotube: i'll have to use filesize changed because i jsut tried to use find -mmin and it doesn't update the mondified time if it is still using it becasue it never closes the file | 05:58 |
| nanotube | seraf: well... maybe it stopped working because it's too old a version... | 05:58 |
| nanotube | ozatomic: hrm... | 05:58 |
| ozatomic | i'll jsut have to use bash script to compare sizes after x min | 05:58 |
| stryker | I have tried to play music in Amarok, they don't play, i tried in aTunes, they don't play, the only thing that plays my music is Rhythmbox, please help! | 05:58 |
| nanotube | ozatomic: seems like writing the empty file on completion is a "cleaner" solution? | 05:58 |
| ozatomic | but i wont know when tis complete | 05:59 |
| mechtech | stryker: I'm all about vlc | 05:59 |
| ozatomic | its all programed withing the closed source pvr | 05:59 |
| nanotube | ozatomic: that way, you don't get fooled if the connection dies in the middle of transfer, and filesize stops changing. | 05:59 |
| ctmjr | outy: compiz-settings-manager general options change the horizontal virtual size to 4 0r how ever many you want | 05:59 |
| stryker | mechtech: vlc, i have it | 05:59 |
| nanotube | ozatomic: ah, so you can't change the pvr to write the empty file, ic... in that case... yea, check filesize :) | 05:59 |
| ozatomic | hehe | 05:59 |
| mechtech | stryker: remove the others and set your preferred app for music to vlc | 06:00 |
| ozatomic | and its a locl network so it shouldnot timeout | 06:00 |
| nanotube | ozatomic: ok ic | 06:00 |
| nanotube | mechtech: no reason to remove others... can set vlc to default anyway. | 06:00 |
| fireshroom_ | I am having problems getting ATI Drivers working on a laptop x1400, i know i can use ATI Patch for Jaunty, how can i install a open source driver? or update them | 06:00 |

| nanotube | stryker: also check audacious | 06:00 |
| mechtech | stryker: sure | 06:00 |
| vimpulse | hi all. I was using my terminal emulator, and meant to press Ctrl-PgUp, but pressed the adjacent combo on my laptop: the Ctrl-\ combo. Because of the way the OS is designed, that combo sent SIGABRT, immediately terminating the program I was using. Is this not a dangerous key combo, just like Ctrl-Alt-Backspace used to be? (P.S. I'm the guy who finally convinced the Xorg developers to disable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 06:00 |
| vimpulse | releases.) | 06:00 |
| nanotube | stryker: audacious is very winamp-like | 06:00 |
| stryker | how can i set vlc as default | 06:01 |
| mechtech | mamotube: the reason I removed the others was they were useless and taking up space in my apps list and hard drive | 06:01 |
| fireshroom_ | Whats the apt get and command to install OPEN Source ATI DRIVER | 06:01 |
| mechtech | er: nanotube...see above post to mamotube...LOL | 06:02 |
| losher | vimpulse: apparently you're accident prone and shouldn't be let loose on a computer. Disabling Ctrl-Alt-Backspace by default was a complete nuisance... | 06:02 |
| seraf | lol | 06:02 |
| Gartral | OK! dhclient did exactly what i needed! | 06:02 |
| nanotube | vimpulse: why not disable the dangerous key combo "sudo rm -rf /" while you are at it? or "rm -rf $HOME". disabling key combos is lame. | 06:02 |
| vimpulse | losher: i am not the only one who's made that accident. | 06:02 |
| The^user | GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 06:03 |
| nanotube | mechtech: hehe | 06:03 |
| nanotube | !hi | The^user | 06:03 |
| ubottu | The^user: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:03 |
| pog | losher: in jaunty it's Ctr-Alt Sysreq (or something like this) | 06:03 |
| madLyfe | Wade: all i did was go to administration and then to hardware drivers and it scanned the computer then brought up the broadcom situation and downloaded something and now it works... | 06:04 |
| fireshroom_ | when i go to system --> Hardware drivers, my video card drivers are not there to activated(using x1400) | 06:04 |
| stryker | mechtech: how can I make VLC default music player? | 06:04 |
| nanotube | stryker: right click on file of type you want to make it default for, go to "open with" tab, select it. | 06:04 |
| mechtech | stryker: go to syatem>preferences>preferred apps | 06:04 |
| vimpulse | losher: you are advanced enough to re-enable it. OTOH, many innocent people who hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace by accident in past years were not advanced enough to manually disable it. Instead, re-enable it for yourself, or press Ctrl+Alt+F1 then use kill(1). :) | 06:05 |
| ctmjr | fireshroom_: try this for the open source drivers make sure you read the tweaks section https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 06:05 |
| === am4zin is now known as amazin | ||
| vimpulse | nanotube: the dangerous command to remove the / directory is disabled by default in the latest GNU rm, unless you pass the --no-preserve-root option. | 06:05 |
| nanotube | vimpulse: how do you /accidentally/ hit ctl-alt-backspace, anyway? you gotta aim for it. | 06:06 |
| vimpulse | nanotube: there are many ways. | 06:06 |
| mechtech | stryker: I ended up removing all my other media players because they wouldn't stop trying to play my files | 06:06 |
| stryker | mechtech: ohh, i see | 06:06 |
| vimpulse | nanotube: if you Google and can't find any, then I will point you to some. | 06:06 |

| mechtech | can anyone tell me how to get vlc to populate the playlist for shoutcast? | 06:07 |
| === _MrsApple_ is now known as _MrApple_ | ||
| stryker | mechtech: but i would like to know why amarok or aTunes do not play them, because the main reason is my friend wants an iTunes look a like, and well, VLC does not look like iTunes | 06:07 |
| mechtech | stryker: by default? just by following my advice? | 06:07 |
| nanotube | stryker: maybe you don't have the codecs installed? | 06:08 |
| mechtech | stryker: I wouldn't have a clue...sorry...I couldn't get a few different apps to work, so they went bye-bye\ | 06:08 |
| stryker | mechtech: no, i had to right click and go to open with, it would open with movie player | 06:08 |
| nanotube | stryker: try looking at the medibuntu repository.... see below: | 06:08 |
| nanotube | !medibuntu | 06:08 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 06:08 |
| fireshroom_ | when i type $ lspci -nn | grep VGA says command not found | 06:09 |
| stryker | nanotube: i think i installed the right codecs | 06:09 |
| mechtech | stryker: that's exactly why I removed mine | 06:09 |
| stryker | mechtech: jaja okay i see | 06:09 |
| pog | WIGGMPk: what's the problem? | 06:09 |
| fireshroom_ | nevermind figired that one out | 06:09 |
| fireshroom_ | removed dollar sign dumb me | 06:09 |
| WIGGMPk | pog: well first, I never really made a script before, and two, I want a "shortcut" persay for the kismet program.. Kismet needs to be run from a terminal.. So I suppose I need a script that opens a terminal and then executes kismet.. I dont know where to start.. | 06:10 |
| WIGGMPk | pog: I have been reading online, and its not really making that much sense ill admit | 06:10 |
| pog | o.k. you cann place the script anywhere, make it executable by chmod a+x scriptname | 06:11 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: if you open the run dialog (alt-f2) and just type in "kismet", it should start.... | 06:12 |
| WIGGMPk | pog: the contents of the script is what im unsure of.. | 06:12 |
| WIGGMPk | nanotube: negative, I dont use gnome-panel, therefore no run dialogs | 06:12 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: what /do/ you use? | 06:13 |
| pog | WIGGMPk: when you start a application from gome starter you can select "terminalapplication" an enter the path/script | 06:13 |
| WIGGMPk | nanotube: besides thats not the solution I want.. which is a clickable shortcut.. AWN | 06:13 |
| pog | WIGGMPk: I you will have to test the script from a terminal | 06:13 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: in that case, just make the script contain "gnome-terminal -e 'kismet'" | 06:14 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: (or use whatever terminal emulator you prefer) | 06:14 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: that will open the terminal, and execute the command. | 06:14 |
| pog | what do you use for a system and WM? | 06:14 |
| WIGGMPk | nanotube: cool... can this be done from alacarte or must it be a script? | 06:14 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: since it's a one-liner, i think you can swing it with alacarte... | 06:15 |
| WIGGMPk | nanotube: pog: thanks guys/gals for the help | 06:15 |

| ubottu | leetcharmer: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:20 |
| stryker | everyone, this is very important, my friend just installed a graphics driver and he restarted the computer, now when he turns on the laptop, the screen does not turn on | 06:20 |
| donnybrasco | can anyone help me with installing a tar.gz? | 06:21 |
| mechtech | stryker: try hooking up an external monitor so you can at least troubleshoot | 06:21 |
| bastidrazor | outy, why would you run an audio player with sudo? | 06:22 |
| stryker | well, he's 5000 miles away and im not sure if he has an extra monitor >< | 06:22 |
| WIGGMPk | nanotube: sorry to bug you again.. but could you direct me to any good scripting resource sites to read up? I eventually want to try and automate some things for my penetration testing.. | 06:22 |
| stryker | mechtech: could the driver update have done this? | 06:22 |
| losher | mechtech: you *are* crazy. Software that works, indeed. Start all that nonsense & pretty soon everybody & their uncle will start thinking its the norm.... | 06:22 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: google for "advanced bash scripting guide". it's the ultimate scripting reference. | 06:22 |

| nanotube | WIGGMPk: np :) | 06:23 |
| mechtech | stryker: definitely | 06:23 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: also, generally, "man somecommand" is a good thing to try on anything :) | 06:23 |
| rufuscure | hi how do i get my tablet pc touch screen to work in ubuntu ? | 06:23 |
| stryker | mectech: he is dual booting, and not even the initial screen turns on, nothing, it can still do that? | 06:23 |
| WIGGMPk | nanotube: yea.. i neglect the manpages resource a lot.. =( | 06:24 |
| stryker | mechtech: i mean, the driver can actually ruin the laptops screen? | 06:24 |
| nanotube | WIGGMPk: :) | 06:24 |
| mechtech | stryker: wow...no, but it could make the video output stop altogether | 06:24 |
| mechtech | losher: pm me? | 06:25 |
| stryker | mechtech: jeez, this can't be happening, my friends laptop could just have been ruined and its my fault, omfg | 06:27 |
| mechtech | stryker: have him try to boot to the live cd | 06:27 |
| stryker | but when he turns on the laptop nothing comes up on the screen, so i am not even sure it will boot off the CD | 06:28 |
| nanotube | stryker: screen doesn't turn on as in, not even for the bios? | 06:28 |
| stryker | nanotube: no | 06:28 |
| nanotube | stryker: wow, that's pretty serious... | 06:28 |
| losher | stryker: I suppose the driver could have corrupted the bios, but that's very surprising... | 06:28 |
| stryker | nanotube: he said it went black during the restart | 06:29 |
| stryker | and it stayed black, so he shut it off | 06:29 |
| stryker | losher: hmm | 06:29 |
| donnybrasco | I am trying to install 64-bit flash, but it's a tar.gz file, which I don't know how to install can anyone help? | 06:29 |
| nanotube | stryker: if it went black during restart, that was even before the new driver was being used, so doubt that it's due to the new driver. probably just an unrelated hardware failure. | 06:29 |
| mataks | how to set up remote desktop? i already check the allow other to view my desktop but it says that your dekstop is only reachable over the local network.. no ip address to connect to. | 06:29 |
| brmj | I just got here and missed part of the explaination, but this sounds like a hardware problem. | 06:29 |
| stryker | donnybrasco: you should double click the tar.gz and the regular file should be inside | 06:29 |
| losher | stryker: and quite rare. I wonder if he's had a hardware failure that just happened to coincide with what you did. LCDs do lose their backlights you know... | 06:30 |
| mechtech | nanotube: pretty huge coincidence | 06:30 |
| nomad77 | stryker: tell him to try fn + for laptop brightness maybe | 06:30 |
| phurl | reprepro Error: Distribution doooh contains an architecture called 'all'. any ideaS? | 06:30 |

| stryker | nomad77: i will | 06:30 |
| nanotube | mechtech: well... yea, but... if it went black during restart, i really doubt it's the driver. | 06:30 |
| cyberjorge | hi everyone | 06:30 |
| nomad77 | had prob before | 06:30 |
| stryker | donnybrasco: you have to make a folder named plugins under the .mozilla in your home folder | 06:30 |
| stryker | losher: im not sure | 06:31 |
| stryker | nanotube: isee what you mean | 06:31 |
| nomad77 | laptop ubuntu here but was fine | 06:31 |
| mechtech | nanotube: ubless the driver was actually firmware | 06:31 |

| artillerytx | anyone know why im getting this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m36d41976 | 06:31 |
| cyberjorge | what command to use? | 06:31 |
| artillerytx | when i run the command when i type " grep -r -i iptables /etc/ | 06:31 |
| nanotube | mechtech: well, he would have said "firmware" then :) | 06:31 |
| mechtech | nanotube: re-write the eprom withthe wrong code, and *POOF* there goes the magic smoke! | 06:31 |
| stryker | mechtech: the driver was installed from the System>Administration>Hardware Drivers | 06:31 |
| losher | stryker: well, restarting does stress the hardware. If he power-cycled it, that's when most electronics dies... | 06:31 |
| johnny5_ | didn't take long for me to be back lol | 06:32 |
| nanotube | stryker: mechtech: well, in that case, definitely not firmware. | 06:32 |
| donnybrasco | and just put the libflashplayer.so in that folder? | 06:32 |
| dumbterm | 1qwdffghfhfgh | 06:32 |

| cyberjorge | how do I empty a content of a folder then move the whole content of another folder? | 06:33 |
| mechtech | brmj: nvidia | 06:33 |
| stryker | donnybrasco: don't worry, we all started one time or another | 06:33 |

| brmj | mechtech: Thanks. I thought nvidia kind of had the exact opposite reputation when it comes to FOSS drivers, though. | 06:35 |

| brmj | mechtech: I might be wrong. I haven't built a system for a few years, so things may have changed. | 06:36 |
| mechtech | brmj: I said Nvidia because so many people use them with great success, and people are always ragging about radeons ( who do not develop linux drivers, by the way) | 06:38 |
| novalys | Can anyone help me with a dual monitor issue? (My laptop is not detecting my external VGA monitor, Ubuntu 9.04 Intel Graphic Card) | 06:38 |

| artillerytx | where is the iptables file located | 06:40 |
| artillerytx | ? | 06:40 |
| synusoida | type iptables | 06:40 |
| brmj | johnny5_: Unfortunately, the companies don't talk about how well their products work with FOSS drivers. | 06:40 |

| wes1 | Hello, I'm having some trouble with my sources file and apt-get/synaptic, I posted everything I know here http://http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1224961 | 06:43 |
| novalys | Can anyone help me with a dual monitor issue? (My laptop is not detecting my external VGA monitor, Ubuntu 9.04 Intel Graphic Card) | 06:43 |
| johnny5_ | losher: that's how I pick mine lol amazon newegg ebay walmart and tigerdirect reviews | 06:43 |
| artillerytx | nanotube: you know why webmin would work on port 10000 and then randomly stop working | 06:43 |
| artillerytx | well not randomly we turned off the computer and moved it then turned it back on | 06:43 |
| MT- | !webmin | 06:43 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 06:43 |
| johnny5_ | anyone help me yet? | 06:44 |
| MT- | !patience | johnny5_ | 06:44 |
| ubottu | johnny5_: 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. | 06:44 |
| johnny5_ | if you did I missed it heh | 06:44 |
| nanotube | artillerytx: check to see if it is maybe running on another port now? | 06:44 |
| losher | johnny5_: agreed. it's a good strategy.... | 06:44 |
| artillerytx | nanotube:not sure how to check that | 06:44 |
| nanotube | artillerytx: command "sudo netstat -plantu" will show you all ports which have stuff connected to them. | 06:44 |
| nanotube | artillerytx: look for the webmin process in there | 06:45 |
| stryker | nanotube: mechtech: losher: he says that the computer stayed black after it had restarted, not while the restart | 06:45 |
| MT- | !webmin | artillerytx | 06:45 |
| ubottu | artillerytx: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 06:45 |
| artillerytx | oh silly | 06:45 |
| MT- | artillerytx: there's a reason it breaks ;) | 06:45 |
| stryker | nanotube: mechtech: losher: and now the monitor does not turn on at all | 06:45 |
| losher | johnny5_: what symlink did you make? | 06:45 |
| MT- | !ebox | 06:45 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 06:45 |
| artillerytx | ebox sucks | 06:45 |
| t3hp00ky | anyone know why flash doesn't work in 9.04 | 06:45 |
| overclucker | hey ubottu, can you respond to simple quesions yet? | 06:46 |
| nanotube | stryker: mechtech: losher: still, if it never even came up after the reboot, not ever to show the bios - that means it happened before the driver started to be used (which only happens once Xorg starts loading) | 06:46 |
| MT- | artillerytx: then make it better - webmin WILL break unless you modify the source so it works w/ the configs | 06:46 |
| johnny5_ | losher: hold on I'll get the exact line I typed heh | 06:46 |
| overclucker | aww | 06:46 |
| artillerytx | MT-: Well i wish i could but nothing works as well as webmin | 06:46 |
| artillerytx | MT-: ebox isn't even for web servers | 06:46 |
| stryker | nanotube: stryker: losher: okay, so it could be the monitor just died? he also says the HD is not responding | 06:47 |
| MT- | artillerytx: nor is webmin - they're both for servers | 06:47 |
| artillerytx | MT-: webmin - web management | 06:47 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Woudl newegg be the best place to get a cheap 7200rpm 2.5 inch 500GB drive? | 06:47 |
| artillerytx | or lets say web - administration | 06:47 |
| losher | stryker: I don't understand. How can he tell his HD isn't responding if his monitor doesn't work? | 06:47 |
| johnny5_ | sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/vncserver S99vncserver | 06:47 |
| overclucker | what does ubuntu-server come packaged with? i'm sure they have some sort of http interfaced package and config system | 06:48 |
| stryker | losher: idk | 06:48 |
| Milos | Question -- I can't use only quotatools, I have to have quota installed and then I use quotatools just to modify settings? Or is quotatools the whole set? | 06:48 |
| t3hp00ky | whats the shutdown command for a network interface | 06:48 |
| MT- | artillerytx: or - administration from a web interface - they both do the same thing | 06:48 |
| vimpulse | repeat: I was using my terminal emulator, and meant to press Ctrl-PgUp, but pressed the adjacent combo on my laptop: the Ctrl-\ combo. Because of the way the OS is designed, that combo sent SIGABRT, immediately terminating the program I was using without saving my game. Do you agree that this is a dangerous key combo? Or disagree? | 06:48 |
| MT- | artillerytx: anyway - not worth arguing over facts | 06:48 |
| nanotube | Cyber_Akuma: it's probably ok. check some other places and see if you find it cheaper. maybe amazon, buy.com, pricewatch.com? | 06:48 |
| overclucker | sudo ifconfig device up/down | 06:49 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ok, ill look around | 06:49 |
| nanotube | t3hp00ky: ifdown | 06:49 |
| milo__ | please can u tell me how to fix this: /var/lib/apt/lists/lock: Permission denied | 06:49 |
| Cyber_Akuma | planning to replace the 5400rpm 500gb drive I have | 06:49 |
| johnny5_ | Cyber_Akuma: I use newegg or tigerdirect if it's a lot of stuff I use tigerdirect because they charge same shipping for everything else I use newegg but I do a bit of price judging as well. | 06:49 |
| losher | johnny5_: looks ok. But you have to be in the right directory when you issue it (/etc/rc2.d). Can you see the link when you ls -l ? | 06:49 |
| glicks | hey whats a good filesystem type for portable harddrive? | 06:49 |
| t3hp00ky | so ifconfig "device" down | 06:49 |
| Cyber_Akuma | glicks: depends, what will it be used on? | 06:49 |
| === john is now known as Guest59278 | ||
| MT- | tannerS: yup | 06:50 |
| johnny5_ | I think I was in rc3.d | 06:50 |
| glicks | Cyber_Akuma, linux, windows? | 06:50 |
| Cyber_Akuma | If you are going to be using it on anything that isn't a computer, you are pretty much stuck with FAT32 | 06:50 |
| nanotube | t3hp00ky: "man ifdown" for details | 06:50 |
| overclucker | yup | 06:50 |
| tannerS | guys how can i check if im running 32 bit or 64 bit | 06:50 |
| johnny5_ | mayhap that my problem | 06:50 |
| tannerS | MT hi' | 06:50 |
| nanotube | tannerS: "uname -a" | 06:50 |
| MT- | tannerS: sorry | 06:50 |
| qpmm | I'm still struggling to capture loopback audio under 8.04 with VLC. If anyone has experience with Ubuntu's audio stack, please give me a holler | 06:50 |
| Cyber_Akuma | likea console or whatever | 06:50 |
| overclucker | although ifdown might be an easier solution | 06:50 |
| brmj | Just so everyone knows, I think I found the ideal card for what I described earlier. | 06:50 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Windows and Linux? NTFS | 06:50 |
| t3hp00ky | Do both use NTFS? | 06:50 |
| tannerS | nanotube thank u | 06:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | most modern linux distros can read/write ntfs | 06:51 |
| losher | johnny5_: runlevel 2 is the default for Ubuntu... | 06:51 |
| nanotube | tannerS: np :) | 06:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ubuntu included | 06:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | at least recent versions of ubuntu | 06:51 |
| phurl | reprepro Error, were can i get hepl | 06:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | But Windows can only do FAT. FAT32, and NTFS | 06:51 |
| t3hp00ky | So what file system does Ubuntu use? | 06:51 |
| losher | stryker: maybe you need to get him some local help. He sounds confused... | 06:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | so you are kinda stuck with those choices | 06:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | and NTFS is far netter | 06:51 |
| glicks | ntfs? | 06:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Ubuntu supports many | 06:51 |
| nanotube | t3hp00ky: by default, ext3 | 06:51 |
| johnny5_ | I don't know ubuntu that well yet, was actually using fedora before this | 06:51 |
| glicks | so i should keep the ntfs file system on it? | 06:52 |
| Cyber_Akuma | but ext3 is teh most common one | 06:52 |
| johnny5_ | I'm actually really setting up my box so I can access it anywhere heh | 06:52 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Windows can't read EXT* on it's own though | 06:52 |
| Cyber_Akuma | yeah | 06:52 |
| losher | johnny5_: you're almost there. cd /etc/rc2.d; sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/vncserver S99vncserver | 06:52 |
| glicks | does ntfs suffer from fragmentation like fat? | 06:52 |
| Cyber_Akuma | yes | 06:52 |
| t3hp00ky | What does ext3 stand for? | 06:52 |
| Cyber_Akuma | at least it dosen't have the filesize limts like fat32 though | 06:53 |
| stryker | losher: nanotube: mechtech: he's telling me that nothing happens when he turns it on, nothing at all | 06:53 |
| Cyber_Akuma | you cant have a single file over 4gigs on fat32 | 06:53 |
| glicks | is there a defrag tool avail for linux? | 06:53 |
| overclucker | haha | 06:53 |
| johnny5_ | thanks losher | 06:53 |
| mechtech | stryker: the whole computer: make sure batt is seated correctly etc... | 06:53 |
| nanotube | t3hp00ky: probably something like "extended filesystem v3) | 06:53 |
| nomad77 | stryker: try the fn+f8 if its an hplaptop | 06:53 |
| overclucker | noatime | 06:53 |
| losher | stryker: and check the power supply etc... | 06:54 |
| stryker | its an acer | 06:54 |
| t3hp00ky | Can windows read ext3? | 06:54 |
| nomad77 | ohh hmm | 06:54 |
| stryker | the lights of the laptop turns on, but nothing happens | 06:54 |
| vimpulse | glicks: A tip: If you use ntfs, make sure you use NTFS-3G, you should use Linux kernel's built-in ntfs driver, to read and write the NTFS partition. | 06:54 |
| nomad77 | t3hp00ky: no | 06:54 |
| stryker | by lights i mean the power light and the ones next to it | 06:54 |
| glicks | vimpulse, im just pluggin in the drive | 06:54 |
| glicks | lol | 06:54 |
| overclucker | you can setup fstab to handle data placement more gracefully | 06:54 |
| mechtech | stryker: he needs a service provider...sorry | 06:54 |
| nanotube | losher: johnny5_: i think it's more advisable to use the "update-rc.d" script, instead of manually creating symlinks in /etc/rcX.d | 06:54 |
| t3hp00ky | nomad77: but linux can read NTFS and VTFS? | 06:54 |
| Cyber_Akuma | no, windows cannot read or write any filesystem other than FAT or NTFS | 06:55 |
| MT- | t3hp00ky: I'm pretty sure ext just stands for extended | 06:55 |
| stryker | :( | 06:55 |
| nomad77 | yuh if its setup properly | 06:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Most linnus distros CAN now read and write NTFS | 06:55 |
| qpmm | ext2 and ext3 can be read by Windows with a special plugin | 06:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | all of them can read/write FAT | 06:55 |
| wes1 | So I'm getting a "Failed to check for installed and available applications" error in add/remove programs, I tried all of the recommended stuff from threads on the forums to no avail. Synaptic is also giving me an error, threads on the forums suggest it's because of another instance of apt-get or synaptic running in the background, but I'm sure there isn't. Anyone have any ideas? | 06:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | qpmm: Risky | 06:55 |
| glicks | windows cant read reiser? | 06:55 |
| johnny5_ | nanotube: Will that help me make a list of programs? | 06:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | o | 06:55 |
| mechtech | stryker: has he tried connecting an external monitor yet: even monochrome, just for troubleshooting? | 06:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | no | 06:55 |
| glicks | not even with an addon? | 06:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | What part of "only FAT and NTFS" did you not understand? | 06:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Well, with addons maybe | 06:56 |
| nanotube | johnny5_: what kind of list do you want to make? | 06:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | but its not safe | 06:56 |
| MT- | glicks: no - and since ext4, I stopped using rfs | 06:56 |
| overclucker | sure it can, windows just can't make any sense of it | 06:56 |
| stryker | mechtech: he doesn't have an external monitor | 06:56 |
| mechtech | stryker: crap! | 06:56 |
| Aero231 | please help, my apt-get doesn't work | 06:56 |
| Aero231 | is there anyone here that can help? | 06:57 |
| t3hp00ky | This is very interesting. So Linux can read the file systems but Windows cannot, how does this effect a business if they wanted to go opensource? | 06:57 |
| losher | nanotube: johnny5_: either way. Also, see sysv-rc-conf | 06:57 |
| overclucker | aero231, doesn't work how? type the full command you used | 06:57 |
| johnny5_ | nanotube: this is eventually going to be a server I can remote into, probably be running mysql a java side server program for an MMO, apache and php | 06:57 |
| stryker | mechtech: but if it were just the monitor, the dual-boot settings should send him to windows automatically, thus the corny windows music should sound, but it does not, | 06:57 |
| bastidrazor | losher, i don't think nfs mounts will work on different subnets . so far for me it isn't | 06:58 |
| losher | t3hp00ky: it's one of the smaller problems businesses face if they want to go open source | 06:58 |
| mechtech | t3hp00ky: that's exactly WHY MS makes their stuff like that...for them, the more proprietary the better...that's why they're so entrenched in the business world | 06:58 |
| nanotube | t3hp00ky: essentially, not at all - there's rarely a reason to try to read a linux drive from windows | 06:58 |
| vimpulse | losher: :) | 06:58 |
| losher | bastid_raZor: can you do rpcinfo -p <server> from the client? | 06:58 |
| johnny5_ | in addition it's going to be a "blackbox" between the internet and my home network. | 06:58 |
| Cyber_Akuma | "how does this effect a business if they wanted to go opensource?" | 06:58 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Windows will NOT go opensource | 06:59 |
| mechtech | stryker: I don't think so...he's sitting there waiting to choose to boot to win or linux | 06:59 |
| losher | vimpulse: I hope that comment has redeemed my earlier one about ctrl-alt-delete in your eyes | 06:59 |
| johnny5_ | eh blackbox is really pushing it more like a funnel lol | 06:59 |
| Cyber_Akuma | thats like asking what woudl happen if Nintendo put a Mario game on the 360 | 06:59 |
| t3hp00ky | losher: so most businesses that use linux servers still have to use Windows based domain controllers? | 06:59 |
| stryker | no, in 10 seconds it will choose windows automatically | 06:59 |
| MT- | !offtopic | 06:59 |

| FloodBot1 | Aero231: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:59 |
| bastidrazor | losher, hmm i may need to forward some ports. | 06:59 |
| stryker | cuz he installed via wubi | 06:59 |
| amel | hey | 06:59 |
| vimpulse | losher: don't worry. I still disagree with your comment about it being a nuisance, but I am used to such comments and am not offended. :) | 07:00 |
| Aero231 | hello, here is the problem I have: http://paste.ubuntu.com/234949/ | 07:00 |
| losher | bastid_raZor: can you ping from client to server. How do those packets get forwarded? | 07:00 |
| t3hp00ky | So does linux support domain control? | 07:00 |
| losher | vimpulse: good, we can agree to disagree... | 07:00 |
| t3hp00ky | Like windows? | 07:00 |
| mechtech | stryker: oh...go online and start getting the documentation for his machine...help him out | 07:00 |
| vimpulse | t3hp00ky: did you mean "Does Linux support NIS and locking down local machines"? Then yes. | 07:01 |
| glicks | has anyone used the windows ext2 tool for windows? | 07:01 |
| mike_bruns_com | Hi all, quick support question. I somehow broke my keyboard & mouse with Gnome. I waas disabling services. I reenabled everything I disabled thru sysvconfig, but It's still not working. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I should look next? | 07:01 |
| glicks | if it works should i just use ext3 on my portable drive? | 07:01 |
| Bob_Dole | glicks, I did a long time ago. I havn't used windows much in a long time, though. | 07:01 |
| vimpulse | glicks: I've used explore2fs. It's annoying to use, but it works. | 07:01 |
| mechtech | t3hp00ky: the internet originated on UNIX, Linux is open-source Unix-like OS...the domains ARE linux | 07:01 |
| losher | t3hp00ky: the ones I've seen export nfs to the linux boxes and samba to the windows ones, and do something frightful to keep the user stuff synchronized... | 07:02 |
| glicks | damnit i guess ill just use crappy ntfs | 07:02 |
| bastidrazor | losher, i get output from that command, but the route is a bit tedious .. host >router>router>wifi>client | 07:02 |
| johnny5_ | t3hp00ky: try SAMBA I think it has something to do with windows domain controller | 07:02 |
| t3hp00ky | vimpulse: sorry I'm new to all this. So linux has a policy editor like windows does? | 07:02 |
| bastidrazor | losher, wifi == wifi router | 07:02 |
| Aero231 | can someone give me a hand in apt-get, this is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/234951/ | 07:02 |
| Aero231 | apt-get literally doesn't work, cannot find any packages | 07:03 |
| MannyinHelp | Hi | 07:03 |
| Techie | glicks, there is a software that allows you to load ext formatted drives as regular drives | 07:03 |
| t3hp00ky | um | 07:03 |
| wes1 | I really need some help getting add/remove and synaptic to work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1224961 | 07:03 |
| t3hp00ky | sudo apt-get? | 07:03 |
| losher | bastid_raZor: well, nfs runs over udp (and optionally tcp). So those packets have to able to get through somehow. And any retransmissions will crucify performance... | 07:03 |
| MannyinHelp | Anyone couuld help me setuuing up a local network | 07:03 |
| MannyinHelp | ??? | 07:03 |

| Nick_Meister | but even when i run the suggested command i get similar errors | 07:04 |
| artillerytx | MT-: is ISPconfig supported here? | 07:04 |
| losher | stryker: he's probably really stressed right now. Try again tomorrow... | 07:04 |
| Aero231 | can someone give me a hand with apt-get install mysql-server, this is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/234951/ (It doesn't install any packages) | 07:04 |
| mechtech | Aero231: Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that | 07:04 |
| mechtech | the package is simply not installable and a bug report against | 07:04 |
| mechtech | that package should be filed. | 07:04 |
| MT- | !ispconfig | 07:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ispconfig | 07:04 |
| stryker | losher: yeah, he is, he's gonna leave it like that for tomorrow and just give it another try | 07:04 |
| MannyinHelp | NEED help setting up my local network any help plz ?? | 07:05 |
| Aero231 | mechtech: what do you mean? | 07:05 |
| losher | stryker: been there... | 07:05 |
| stryker | losher: yeah... | 07:05 |
| overclucker | aero, you should check your sources list, have you modified it at all? | 07:05 |
| QPrime | Aero231: likely a sources issue. pastebin your sources file. | 07:05 |
| mechtech | Aero231: that's lines 41 to 43 of your pasted output...it's telling you that the package you're trying to get is broken, not apt-get | 07:05 |
| MT- | artillerytx: you can ask - but the likelyhood of support is low considering its volume | 07:06 |
| mechtech | overclucker and qprime are right | 07:06 |
| stryker | well guys, gonna call it a night | 07:06 |
| overclucker | pastebin cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:06 |
| artillerytx | MT-: i just wish webmin would write config files correctly so i could use it | 07:06 |
| stryker | thanks | 07:06 |
| losher | Aero231: why are you truying to install version 5.0. I'm guessing that's not the version in the repository. Hence the error | 07:06 |
| Aero231 | Here are my sources.xml. I haven't modified it, the commented stuff is me trying to fix it, I put it back to where it was | 07:07 |
| Aero231 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/234952/ | 07:07 |
| mechtech | Aero231: you also need to resolve the dependancies errors before continuing with the install | 07:07 |
| Aero231 | losher: mysql is in the repository, it always has been | 07:07 |
| MT- | artillerytx: that's exactly why it's not supported in here - it's designed for rhel based distros | 07:07 |
| johnny5_ | Aero231 I'd clean that up and do just a: sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 07:07 |
| overclucker | i succesfully installed mysql-server-5.0 through apt just yesterday | 07:08 |
| Aero231 | mechtech: mysql is in the repository, I have installed it at least 20 times before, ever since edgy was released, but this install, something is wrong, probably because it's amd64?? | 07:08 |
| Aero231 | johnny5_: it gives same output | 07:08 |
| losher | Aero231: agreed. But which version is in the repository? | 07:08 |
| overclucker | if anything, it is tryinging to pull it from a broken, buggy repository | 07:08 |
| johnny5_ | I did it about 10 minutes ago | 07:08 |
| QPrime | Aero231: you are using the security repos only. your other repos are disabled. | 07:08 |
| MT- | !shell | 07:08 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 07:08 |
| Aero231 | losher: mysql-server-5.0 is in the repo | 07:09 |
| MT- | that's not what the shell is... | 07:09 |
| Aero231 | QPrime, how do I find out which repo a package is in? If I found it in packages.ubuntu? | 07:09 |
| losher | Aero231: ok, then fix your sources file... | 07:09 |
| overclucker | should be in main | 07:09 |
| QPrime | Aero231: it should be in main. | 07:09 |
| Aero231 | QPrime: How do you know which repository to add? is there a list somewhere that I can paste into sources.xml? | 07:10 |
| johnny5_ | losher: he's right that's what I got... It looks like something to do with that dependancy that won't install... | 07:10 |
| QPrime | check your settings in "System->Settings-Software Sources" | 07:10 |
| Aero231 | it's ubuntu-server | 07:10 |
| overclucker | uncomment the main repo | 07:10 |
| johnny5_ | losher: I mean he's right on the distro num | 07:10 |
| overclucker | or your life will be a living hell | 07:10 |
| QPrime | Aero231: ahh.. then take overclucker's advice. hes right. | 07:11 |
| losher | Aero231: johnny5_: so the repository is broken? Unusual, but not unheard of... | 07:11 |
| overclucker | (especially about the hell on earth part) | 07:11 |
| abhijit_ | hi | 07:11 |
| BigMike | what is the animated gif creator for linux | 07:11 |
| johnny5_ | losher: no the repository is fine, I ment he's right on the distro number | 07:11 |
| Aero231 | overclucker: which is the "main" repo that's commented? http://paste.ubuntu.com/234952/ | 07:11 |
| Nick_Meister | guys i cant figure it out for the life of me | 07:12 |
| abhijit_ | hi everyone! anybody knows how to install .tar.gz file? | 07:12 |
| JRSmile | tar -xvzf file.tar.gz | 07:12 |
| abhijit_ | ok | 07:12 |
| lstarnes | abhijit_: extract it then look for a README or INSTALL file in it | 07:13 |
| Aero231 | QPrime: whic is the "main" repo that's commented? | 07:13 |
| johnny5_ | Aero231: Do you know how to configure make and install manually? you can try that way. | 07:13 |
| BigMike | HI all what is the animated gif creator for linux???? | 07:13 |
| Mozillero | ola | 07:13 |
| losher | Aero231: add: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted | 07:13 |
| Aero231 | johnny5_: no thanks, I'd rather fix the package manager | 07:13 |
| nomad77 | BigMike: the gimp,maybe? | 07:13 |
| losher | Aero231: and also deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted | 07:14 |
| mechtech | can anyone tell me why vlc won't populate shoutcast TV listings? | 07:14 |
| Aero231 | losher: thanks so much losher, that worked | 07:14 |
| mechtech | losher: won't he need to resolve those dependancy errors first? | 07:14 |
| Aero231 | losher: How do you know which repos to add? | 07:14 |
| BigMike | ok will check the gimp tt | 07:14 |
| Aero231 | where are they listed? | 07:14 |
| BigMike | ty | 07:14 |
| overclucker | i actually don't see the main repo listed there | 07:15 |
| johnny5_ | Aero231: It's not that hard lol | 07:15 |
| losher | Aero231: I copied them out of my /etc/apt/sources.list, since I'm running hardy too. They should have been put there at install time... | 07:15 |
| Nick_Meister | the sources .list is correct and everything yet it is giving me so mahny errrors | 07:15 |
| Aero231 | losher: very strange, maybe because mine is server version | 07:15 |
| Aero231 | Do you guys know of an online resource where I can get a fresh copy of sources.xml? | 07:15 |
| losher | Nick_Meister: paste your errors to pastebin please... | 07:16 |
| lstarnes | Aero231: sources.xml? | 07:16 |
| mechtech | !paste | 07:16 |
| ubottu | 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 | 07:16 |
| tafadzwa | Cest la vie | 07:16 |
| tafadzwa | Hi all | 07:16 |
| losher | Aero231: I can paste mine if you wish. Btw: it's not an xml file, it's place old text... | 07:16 |
| Nick_Meister | losher, http://pastebin.org/4722 | 07:16 |
| Aero231 | ok thanks losher | 07:16 |
| James_Bond | How does a hacker fix a function which doesn't work for all of the elements in its domain? The answer is: He changes the domain. | 07:16 |
| johnny5_ | lol @ Nick_Meister | 07:17 |
| James_Bond | lol | 07:17 |
| Mozillero | olaaaaaaaaa | 07:17 |
| Nick_Meister | :S | 07:17 |
| tafadzwa | I wanted to ask is there a way to move my whole Ubuntu system to a usb | 07:17 |
| overclucker | sources aren't stored in xml form | 07:17 |
| Nick_Meister | what? | 07:17 |
| Nick_Meister | what does xml have to do with anything? | 07:17 |
| overclucker | not sure | 07:17 |
| Mozillero | ola | 07:17 |
| tafadzwa | I am selling my laptop but I would like to keep a lot of stuff a saved passwords and email from my ubuntu | 07:18 |
| Mozillero | algun chcopara convrsar al privado? | 07:18 |
| nomad77 | !es > Mozillero | 07:18 |
| losher | Nick_Meister: you are having dns problems.... | 07:18 |
| ubottu | Mozillero, please see my private message | 07:18 |
| ^Einstein | !es | Mozillero | 07:18 |
| ubottu | Mozillero: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 07:18 |
| tafadzwa | My USB is 15 gig, my ubuntu is 10 gig | 07:18 |
| overclucker | that might be an idea for 9.10 though . . .migration to xml . . | 07:18 |
| Nick_Meister | losher, but its accessing the internet fine, and i can access it from the internet as well | 07:18 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: is that box getting dns resolves properly? | 07:18 |
| losher | Aero231: http://pastebin.com/f13784418 | 07:18 |
| Nick_Meister | losher, its on my private network right now with me | 07:19 |
| mechtech | Nick_Meister: losher is correct, was able to resolve archive.ubuntu.com with no problem | 07:19 |
| Nick_Meister | and im talking to you guys arent i | 07:19 |
| johnny5_ | tafadzwa: Do you want it as backup or to actually run your computer from it> | 07:19 |
| lstarnes | overclucker: the current sources.list format is easier to parse and doesn't need XML's complex tree structures | 07:19 |
| Nick_Meister | i used firefox to resolve it as well | 07:19 |
| tafadzwa | backup | 07:19 |
| Nick_Meister | so what could be the problem? | 07:19 |
| tafadzwa | sorry, english is second language | 07:19 |
| tafadzwa | back up | 07:19 |
| Nick_Meister | and how can i fix it? | 07:19 |
| overclucker | lstarnes, very true, especially when working with c | 07:19 |
| johnny5_ | tafadzwa: I would recommend reading about creating a backup image | 07:20 |
| mechtech | Nick_Meister: are you using dhcp, or a static IP? | 07:20 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: are you able to ping archives.ubuntu.com from the terminal shell? | 07:20 |
| tafadzwa | thanx | 07:20 |
| Nick_Meister | mechtech, dhcp | 07:20 |
| glicks | does anyone know how i can view subtitles on a movie player with .sub and .idx files? i cant seem to get it with any video player | 07:20 |
| tafadzwa | I will google ASAP | 07:20 |
| mechtech | Nick_Meister: try setting your DNS to use google's servers...that might help | 07:21 |
| overclucker | dd if=/dev/blah of=/media/thumbdrive/ubuntu.img | 07:21 |
| overclucker | or something like that | 07:21 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, actually its failing to ping for some reason | 07:21 |
| amel | hey | 07:21 |
| losher | Nick_Meister: no kidding... | 07:21 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, it says unknown host ubuntu.com | 07:21 |
| wes1 | Okay so when I try and remove a broken package with synaptic I'm getting an error saying "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" | 07:21 |
| johnny5_ | tafadzwa: or you could use outside backup software. | 07:22 |
| amel | hey | 07:22 |
| overclucker | wes1, you might have another package manager running | 07:22 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: then the dns servers that you are using are not resolving the ubuntu.com hostnames. | 07:22 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, im not using dns servers, i just have a small home server hooked up to my router | 07:23 |
| johnny5_ | yum lol | 07:23 |
| losher | !backup | tafadzwa | 07:23 |
| ubottu | tafadzwa: 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 | 07:23 |
| overclucker | try http://www.opendns.com/ | 07:23 |
| nomad77 | Nick_Meister: check firewall settings and/or checkout opendns.org | 07:23 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, admittedly i have it hooked up using static ip while overall thing is dhcp, just cause i didnt want it switching around on me | 07:23 |
| wes1 | overclucker: I checked there doesn't seem to be any other package manager running | 07:23 |
| johnny5_ | ubottu: Overachiever :P | 07:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about Overachiever :P | 07:23 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, hold on lemme post my network interface file | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !fixapt | 07:24 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 07:24 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: the router is likely proxying dns or passing the ISP dhcp dns values to the boxes inside your network. | 07:24 |
| wereHamster | how do I completely remove a package (including config files etc)? | 07:24 |
| mechtech | Nick_Meister: $ host google.com | 07:24 |
| mechtech | google.com has address 64.233.167.99 | 07:24 |
| mechtech | google.com has address 64.233.187.99 | 07:24 |
| mechtech | google.com has address 72.14.207.99 | 07:24 |
| FloodBot1 | mechtech: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:24 |
| mechtech | floodbot! | 07:24 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, no the router is using its own dhcp server inside of it | 07:24 |
| losher | wereHamster: sudo apt-get purge <packagename> | 07:25 |
| artillerytx | what is the best firewall to use ? | 07:25 |
| johnny5_ | ubottu: you a bot? that was pretty fast... | 07:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | losher: its --purge ;) | 07:25 |
| tafadzwa | ubottu thank you | 07:25 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 07:25 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: yes, and thants fine... but what dns values it is passing to your clients? | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !best | artillerytx | 07:25 |
| ubottu | artillerytx: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !firewall | artillerytx | 07:25 |
| ubottu | artillerytx: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 07:25 |
| wereHamster | losher: thanks | 07:25 |
| losher | ActionParsnip: thank you. See that, wereHamster? | 07:25 |
| indus | artillerytx: use gufw | 07:25 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, how do i find that ? and this is my interface file http://pastebin.org/4723 | 07:25 |
| indus | artillerytx: i dont know about best, but its the official ubuntu one | 07:26 |
| artillerytx | okay | 07:26 |
| indus | !ufw > artillerytx | 07:26 |
| ubottu | artillerytx, please see my private message | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | artillerytx: best is a very poor word to qualify something. i suggest you use it less | 07:26 |
| johnny5_ | who made ubottu | 07:26 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, and obviously i can ssh into it through the .15 ip | 07:26 |
| johnny5_ | losher: I'm going to go test what you helped me with lol | 07:26 |
| losher | Nick_Meister: so what's in your /etc/resolv.conf ? | 07:26 |
| mechtech | those were old IPs | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | johnny5_: i think she is Pici's but I am unsure he made her | 07:27 |
| mechtech | host google.com | 07:27 |
| mechtech | google.com has address 74.125.127.100 | 07:27 |
| mechtech | google.com has address 74.125.67.100 | 07:27 |
| mechtech | google.com has address 74.125.45.100 | 07:27 |
| FloodBot1 | mechtech: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:27 |
| mechtech | ok already | 07:27 |
| overclucker | lol | 07:27 |
| Nick_Meister | mechtech, ha0s@cha0s-desktop:~$ host google.com | 07:27 |
| Nick_Meister | ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 07:27 |
| johnny5_ | Thanks if I don't make it back | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mechtech: please use pastebin, you have done that twice now | 07:27 |
| johnny5_ | oh and thanks ActionParsnip you'd think she'd know her creator | 07:28 |
| Nick_Meister | so uhm yah, it got no access to internet for some odd reason | 07:28 |
| mechtech | Nick_Meister: ping? tracerote? | 07:28 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: you are using a static ip on that box without a specific dns entry. I'm guessing that its using mDNS to try and resolve hosts. add a dns entry to your ifconfig or set your box back to dhcp and use a dhcp reservation (if your router supports it) to give a consistent address to the box via dhcp. | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | johnny5_: makes sense | 07:28 |
| abhijit_ | i just download eclipse c++ ide as .tar.gz format and i already have eclipse java ide so how to install this c++ide? | 07:28 |
| abhijit_ | anybody? | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: tar zxvf <file> will get you started | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !info ide | 07:28 |
| ubottu | Package ide does not exist in jaunty | 07:28 |
| johnny5_ | ActionParsnip: Illogical sir highly illogical | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !ide | 07:28 |
| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans | 07:28 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, so the static thing is whats making it not work? | 07:29 |
| unop | !info eclipse-cdt | 07:29 |
| TannerS | guys im looking for a program that makes a floating dock just like a mac on ubuntu...it starts with an "a" | 07:29 |
| ubottu | eclipse-cdt (source: eclipse-cdt): C/C++ Development Tools for Eclipse. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.2-2 (jaunty), package size 17403 kB, installed size 19844 kB | 07:29 |
| unop | abhijit_, ^^ looks like ubuntu already has the C/C++ plugins | 07:29 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, how do i add a dns entry? cause my routers dhcp wont let me specify ips for boxes | 07:29 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: well yes, without a dns server to resolve hostnames things are not going to work correctly. | 07:29 |
| TannerS | anyone? | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: i suggest youuse eclipse-cdt raher than the file you have, in ubuntu its rare to actually download an app like thta and it uses reposirorys and deb files | 07:30 |
| losher | Nick_Meister: dns is specificed in /etc/resolv.conf. What does yours say? | 07:30 |
| mechtech | Nick_Meister: you have specified an IP address to use, but have not told your system where to look in order to resolve domain names into IP addresses...DNS | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !awn | TannerS | 07:30 |
| ubottu | TannerS: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy | 07:30 |
| TannerS | damnit thanks! | 07:30 |
| abhijit_ | hi actionparsnip what is this eclise-cdt how to use this? | 07:30 |
| Nick_Meister | losher, it says nothing | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: eclipse-cdt (source: eclipse-cdt): C/C++ Development Tools for Eclipse. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.2-2 (jaunty), package size 17403 kB, installed size 19844 kB | 07:31 |
| Nick_Meister | mechtech, whats the property name in the intefaces file to add for the dns | 07:31 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: add a dns-nameservers entry to your interface definition. you can use one of the dns dervers that mechtech offered | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: job done | 07:31 |
| mechtech | Nick_meister: what qprime said | 07:31 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, i was going to use the ones that my router says its using | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: you dont need to the file you ownloaded, like I said, Ubuntu uses repositorys and rarely fils like that | 07:32 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: why are you not using the network manager applet for interface management anyway? | 07:32 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: thats a good choice :) | 07:32 |
| wes1 | Okay so I managed to get rid of the apt-get process, but now I get this when I try and remove the broken package "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/postfix_2.5.5-1.1_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" | 07:32 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, i dont have a monitor for the box i only got ssh | 07:32 |
| abhijit_ | ok | 07:32 |
| mechtech | Nick_meister: those are probably fine, and belong to your isp, but google has like all the bandwidth in the world | 07:32 |
| abhijit_ | thnx actionparsnip | 07:32 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: that should be your ISP's dns server at least | 07:32 |
| TannerS | where is a good place to get themes? | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: try searching in synaptic before you start downloading stuff from the web | 07:33 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: ahh.. fair enough. | 07:33 |
| abhijit_ | ok | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !themes > TannerS | 07:33 |

| ActionParsnip | wes1: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo depmod -a; sudo apt-get update | 07:34 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, i added the following is that ok? dns-nameservers 68.87.85.102 | 07:34 |

| glicks | ActionParsnip, ive tried vlc | 07:34 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: yup | 07:34 |
| mechtech | QPrime: *High5ing back! | 07:34 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, now how do i make it apply those settings? | 07:34 |
| MT- | Who was the owner of apple that died? | 07:34 |

| abhijit_ | hi | 07:34 |
| MT- | wrong chan... | 07:35 |
| salmon | hey im having some problems with sound in flash... running 9.o4 and have pulse audio device chooser. when i open it it says sound is coming from the flash stream. it also has my sound card chosen. all other sound works. just not flash. any ideas | 07:35 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: you may need to bring the interface down then up. | 07:35 |
| losher | QPrime: I don't see dns-nameservers documented in man interfaces, which is upsetting... | 07:35 |
| mechtech | syntax_: I thought so too...installed them earlier, but haven't really checked them out | 07:35 |
| abhijit_ | Hi, is there any web browser than other than firefox but as powerful as firefox? | 07:35 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, how do i do that? | 07:35 |
| abhijit_ | any suggestion? | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !ot | MT | 07:35 |
| ubottu | MT: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:35 |
| mechtech | Nick_Meister: man interfaces | 07:35 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, that is all in one go, cause i cant actually see what im doing once its offline lol. | 07:36 |
| glicks | im running vlc right now | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: opera | 07:36 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, so like restart interface or something | 07:36 |
| abhijit_ | ok | 07:36 |
| losher | abhijit_: why not just use firefox. It's as powerful as firefox, guaranteed... | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: there are other gecko based browsers like swiftfox, kazenchase etc that are lighter | 07:36 |
| mechtech | lol@ losher | 07:36 |
| salmon | ha ha | 07:36 |
| Nick_Meister | ah screw it ill just reboot it | 07:36 |
| === KB1JWQ_ is now known as KB1JWQ | ||
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: epiphany is nice | 07:37 |
| salmon | losher, hey thanks for the help from before.. i got everything running now | 07:37 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: make sure that interfaces file is correct and saved then reboot. thats the only suggestion that I have if you are not local to the box - ie. ssh'd in | 07:37 |
| MT- | ActionParsnip: that's why I said "wrong channel...." | 07:37 |
| losher | salmon: excellent, what we like to hear... | 07:37 |
| salmon | losher, except for sound in flash [grrrr] | 07:37 |
| wes1 | YAY! | 07:37 |
| abhijit_ | i want two browser bcause i have two yahoo account to open at a time thats why.. | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: konqueror if you dont mind the qt dependanciy installer (if you don't already have) | 07:37 |
| syntax_ | http://francois.vogelweith.com/?p=124&lang=en wow | 07:37 |
| losher | salmon: flash/sound issues are notorious in 9.04... | 07:37 |
| wes1 | fix'd thanks ActionParsnip | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | wes1: nice :) | 07:38 |
| mechtech | abhijit: open two tabs at once | 07:38 |
| salmon | losher, they worked before :[ just not now | 07:38 |
| wes1 | Now I can go to sleep, see ya'll | 07:38 |
| salmon | losher, you have any ideas. simple stuff i should check. my brain is spent from solving the install problems | 07:39 |
| losher | abhijit_: you can open two firefox instances simultaneously if you want to. Use the profile manager and the no-remote options. | 07:39 |
| att0 | If I use the 8.04 LTS install CD, is there a dual-boot install option? And would this allow me to choose whether to boot into XP (primary OS) or Ubuntu every time I turn on my computer? | 07:39 |
| losher | salmon: sorry, I gave up on 9.04 and went back to 8.04.... | 07:39 |
| salmon | att0, yes and yes | 07:40 |
| losher | att0: yes, that's exactly how it will work... | 07:40 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: try a few browsers if you want dude. firefox is by no means "best', but neither is it "worst" | 07:40 |
| abhijit_ | losher if i open two firefox at a time but is it possible then to open two different yahoo mail id on that two firefox instance? | 07:40 |
| att0 | thank you, off to install :) | 07:40 |
| whammo | hello my sound stopped working after update, any tips? | 07:40 |
| salmon | losher, don't blame ya, i would do the same if it wasn't for the fact that sound has only worked in WoW in 9.04 | 07:40 |
| losher | abhijit_: if you use two different profiles, the two firefoxes will be completely independent. Simpler to open one firefox and one opera though... | 07:40 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, noodles, lol cant connect to it anymore :( | 07:41 |
| abhijit_ | ok losher | 07:41 |
| abhijit_ | i try | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | whammo: try: amixer -q set PCM 100% unmute | 07:41 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: oh hell :( | 07:41 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: is ot on the same ip subnet? | 07:41 |
| mechtech | night-all...time to veg, then sleep | 07:41 |
| losher | salmon: wish I have a dime for everyone on this channel with 9.04 sound/flash issues...sorry... | 07:41 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, i didnt do anything but adding those two lines | 07:41 |
| whammo | no such file | 07:42 |
| salmon | ActionParsnip, just had to say i have seen you on here before, and i love your s/n it makes me laugh every time | 07:42 |
| whammo | don't have amixer | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | salmon: its a harry hill joke. Glad i make youo laugh :D:D | 07:42 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: two lines? you only needed the dns-nameservers line | 07:42 |
| losher | NIck_meister: QPrime: I don't see dns-nameservers documented in man interfaces. Are you sure it works? What about /etc/resolv.conf? | 07:42 |
| whammo | fresh install of 9.04, sound worked before update | 07:42 |
| abhijit_ | hi losher i just tried you suggestion but it doesnt work | 07:42 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: what TWO lines did you add? | 07:43 |
| salmon | losher, yeah i have heard, the most painful part is before my hdd crash. all i had to do was install flash. and now. i get this :[ | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | whammo: sometmes PCM likes to start on 0, its bizarre, that line is from my fixsound script | 07:43 |
| glicks | this sucks | 07:43 |
| abhijit_ | i thinkg i should try some light brower | 07:43 |
| losher | abhijit_: which suggestion? And doesn't work how? | 07:43 |
| abhijit_ | browser | 07:43 |
| losher | abhijit_: you are a master of brevity... | 07:43 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, the ones i posted on here | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: try Kazehakase or midori | 07:44 |
| whammo | according to desktop applet, PCM is 35% or so. could it be muted somewhere else? | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | whammo: run your volume manager, see whats shaking | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit_: Kazehakase is default in Fluxbuntu | 07:45 |
| abhijit_ | losher when i open 1st firefox then i open 2nd instance. then on 2nd instance i have to sing out first account then sign in again for new account but after doing this when i go back to 1st instace then there is also new account is logged in and it ask password | 07:45 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: ahh ok two nameservers lines. | 07:45 |
| abhijit_ | any way actionparsnip i will try softfox | 07:45 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, yah | 07:45 |
| abhijit_ | sorry swiftfox | 07:45 |
| abhijit_ | thnx | 07:45 |
| abhijit_ | all of u | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hehe, they all have the same gecko base | 07:45 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: is that box on the same subnet as your current machine? | 07:45 |
| whammo | volume control indicates nothing odd, preferences sound test gives no error, bouncing bar goes back and forth silently | 07:46 |
| jacquesdupontd | hi | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !opera | abhijit_ | 07:46 |
| ubottu | abhijit_: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 07:46 |
| losher | abhijit_: that's because you aren't using different profiles. Use one opera and one firefox. It will be much easier.... | 07:46 |
| Nick_Meister | QPrime, yah | 07:46 |
| jacquesdupontd | fucking moskitos | 07:46 |
| QPrime | Nick_Meister: I'm gonna PM you to get this out of the channel. we'll do a little arping to see if that box is alive. | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | whammo | 07:46 |
| ubottu | whammo: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:46 |

| losher | jacquesdupontd: and no abuse towards mosquitoes either, you hear? | 07:47 |
| jacquesdupontd | ActionParsnip, or searching for informations ? | 07:47 |
| jacquesdupontd | losher, hehe yes :) | 07:48 |
| whammo | well thanks anyway | 07:48 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, what do you search ? | 07:48 |
| heroid | can i make a cd uncopyable with ubuntu? | 07:49 |
| qpmm | How can I disambiguate where my sound card's audio is going? (e.g. /dev/audio, /dev/snd, etc) Is there a configuration file, a command, or any way? | 07:49 |
| pisse | Hi! I really need some help! :( My computer freezes during boot (can't get to login screen and instead shows me last sessions screen, flickers and then shows me 2 of the ubuntu load bar on the upper side of screen and the last sessions desktop but very messed up on the bottom...) I've tried to go into safe mode and go to the terminal and use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg twice but hasn't helped at all! Last session I tried | 07:49 |
| whammo | i search "ubuntu sound not working after update" and read many posts about unmuting. I'm not muted. | 07:49 |
| jacquesdupontd | the sun java is rising over my headset (like that it doesn't seems offset ? does it ?) | 07:49 |
| losher | heroid: interesting question. No, I don't think you can.... | 07:49 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, did you checked pulse | 07:49 |
| jacquesdupontd | !pulse | 07:49 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 07:49 |
| abhijit_ | thnkx all of u i just install eclipse-cdt and it is working fine. | 07:50 |
| heroid | losher, i posted about this on the forums but nothing | 07:50 |
| whammo | ohhhh i probably need to KILL pulse, it does nothing good for me. thanks, I'll go do that | 07:50 |
| jacquesdupontd | that's what i did for many reason | 07:50 |
| jacquesdupontd | i deleted pulse | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jacquesdupontd: i use it but only because it works out of the box for me. | 07:51 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, for skype for exemple | 07:51 |
| losher | heroid: I'm not surprised. CD manufacturers have been trying to make uncopiable cds for years, and they haven't succeeded. So what chance do you have? | 07:51 |
| whammo | i don't want to remove any "essential" packages so I'll just settle for crippling it ;P | 07:51 |
| n0ahNetbook | Hello All! Anyone familiar with how to adjust the brightness on an eeepc 901 from the terminal. I attempting to map a hotkey but don't know what command to supply. | 07:51 |

| ActionParsnip | jacquesdupontd: help away. it's always welcommed | 07:51 |
| qpmm | Is there a configuration file, command, or ANY other means of disambugating where a sound card is outputting audio? (e.g. /dev/audio, /dev/snd, etc) | 07:52 |
| C-S-B | i have my entire home partition encrypted with truecrypt, i have a fake .profile in an empty home/csb folder which prompts the mounting of my home directory. This works but I have to log in again after the .profile has mounted my home folder. Is there a better place to put the truecrypt mount line? | 07:52 |
| whammo | um what about skype? | 07:52 |
| jacquesdupontd | ActionParsnip, now i'm woken up cause of those oops | 07:52 |
| whammo | sorry I don't know anything about skype | 07:52 |
| heroid | C-S-B, no with truecrypt it doesn't work | 07:52 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, big problem with pulse | 07:52 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, i mean not big, but anoying | 07:52 |
| pisse | n0ahNetbook: You should try out eeebuntu :) I use it on my eee pc 901 and all hotkeys work | 07:52 |
| whammo | does ubotu have a handy link for disabling pulse? | 07:53 |
| jacquesdupontd | pisse, didn't knew there was a eeebuntu | 07:53 |
| overclucker | yuk, eeebuntu | 07:53 |

| TannerS | Guys I have windows vista and windows 7 installed in my system, but grub bootloader only sees the vista one, what cna i do? | 07:54 |
| n0ahNetbook | pisse: thanks I'm actually in love with netbook remix, all of my hotkeys work after installing eee-control I just want to make the do different things | 07:54 |
| losher | C-S-B: can I see the line from the fake .profile ? | 07:54 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, f you decide you no longer like PulseAudio and would like to disable it: Remove the added lines to /etc/asound.conf If /etc/asound.conf did not exist when you installed PulseAudio, you may remove /etc/asound.conf entirely. | 07:54 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, it's on the link i gave you before | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: you will need to add an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the other OS | 07:55 |
| jacquesdupontd | thx pisse | 07:55 |
| overclucker | eeebuntu itself is so configured towards a specific usergroup, that it looses a lot of it's luster | 07:55 |
| TannerS | ActionParsnip, im alreayd viewing the file, just dont know which..... well my vista entry has this in it (hd0,0) idk what my win 7 is, maybe (hd0,10? | 07:55 |
| whammo | excellent jacques thanks | 07:55 |
| TannerS | *(hd0,1) | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: the entry that boots the vista is pretty much what you need but the partition used will be different | 07:56 |
| C-S-B_ | losher: its just truecrypt /dev/sda3 /home | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: if you only have 1 disk, the first number will always be 0 | 07:56 |
| C-S-B_ | losher: it works, but after the mount, Im brought back to the login screen to log in again | 07:57 |
| ashish | hi to all | 07:57 |
| LiraNuna | postfix doesn't answer to me in telnet, anyone has an idea? | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: if you read the output of: sudo fdisk -l you will see what partition number (you will need to subtract 1 as grub numbers start at 0 and linux start numbers at 1) | 07:57 |
| ashish | i am wrkng on astgui client | 07:57 |
| ashish | for ubuntu sysytem | 07:57 |
| C-S-B_ | losher: which is a little unnecessary | 07:57 |
| TannerS | ActionParsnip , ok let me see | 07:57 |
| akalias | I have an old VMWare appliance -- gutsy gibbon `headless` server. The /etc/apt/sources.list is out of date. apt-get always fails. What can I do to fix it? | 07:57 |
| LiraNuna | telnet localhost 25 // connects but doesn't reply 250 mail.something.com | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: make an extra entry and you can try it, if it boots, great, if not, boot to Ubuntu and re-edit | 07:57 |
| whammo | hmm my asound.conf is a blank page | 07:57 |
| akalias | I understand gutsy gibbon is `out of service` | 07:58 |
| ashish | Can anybody help me to install vicidial for asterisk in an ubuntu syaytem | 07:58 |
| TannerS | Actionparsnip, so what u mean is if it says sda2 for win 7 put it has (hd0,1) ? | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | akalias: it has readhed its end of life | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: yep | 07:58 |
| losher | C-S-B: Are you saying you get logged out automatically after the .profile runs? | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: assuming sda is the first disk according to grub | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: if you only have a single disk, the answer is definately yes | 07:59 |
| TannerS | sda1 is wind vista sda2 is win 7, in the menu file says win vista boot loader entry is (hd0,0) | 07:59 |
| TannerS | and yes | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: don't worry if its wrong it wont break anything, just that entry won't boot anything | 07:59 |
| akalias | @ActionParsnip How can I upgrade to another distro? apt-get dist-upgrade fails | 07:59 |
| pisse | I still need help getting to the login screen due to (most likely) messed up graphics config. | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: why do you need vista and 7 installed? | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade > akalias | 08:00 |
| ubottu | akalias, please see my private message | 08:00 |
| akalias | tnks | 08:00 |
| C-S-B_ | losher: no, im saying i log in, am prompted by trucrypt for my encryption password, it mounts home then i am taken back to the login screen where i have to log in again then my system is up. | 08:00 |
| jacquesdupontd | that's weird every time i ask something on #ubuntustudio nobody answers, do anybody knows a bit about ubuntustudio ? | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: boot system, press esc at grub, select recovery mode, select fix graphics, reboot | 08:00 |
| TannerS | Actionparsnip, win vista main OS and testing out win7 64 bit, and getting used ot it now =] also i cant edit the menu file how can i open it as root? | 08:00 |

| pisse | ActionParsnip: I've tried that with no success :( also did the dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command with no luck | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | TannerS: or sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst if you prefer nano, etc | 08:01 |
| ashish | i hav downloaded astguiclient package for vicidial ,but i stuck in last point and also, i wana to know about any manual entries for configuration | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: then you can boot to recovery root console, run: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the driver to "vesa" for the video card | 08:02 |
| jacquesdupontd | whammo, sudo apt-get --purge remove pulseaudio | 08:02 |
| TannerS | ok going to tets brb guys | 08:02 |
| akalias | @ActionParsnip Just wanted to say thanks again. Very much appreciated -- ok I stop polluting the channel now | 08:02 |
| losher | C-S-B_: 'taken back to the login screen' <-- I don't understand this part. taken back by what? Why doesn't your login session simply continue after /home is mounted? | 08:02 |

| losher | ActionParsnip: jacquesdupontd: very interesting, thanks guys, sorry rww | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: if you log in to root console, then run: su <your normal username> | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: then run startx, does it load? | 08:14 |
| losher | C-S-B_: are you running gnome? | 08:15 |
| jacquesdupontd | losher, i should may come to san francisco :) | 08:15 |
| C-S-B_ | losher: yes | 08:15 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: I'll check! Another note is that when I press the power button when seeing the messed up screen it goes back to the loading-bar and acts normally. | 08:15 |
| C-S-B_ | losher: im think about adding an init.d script maybe | 08:15 |
| QPrime | losher: http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration <-- debian wiki entry on it. not new at all, but interface specific. | 08:15 |
| sh4rk89 | hi man | 08:16 |
| sh4rk89 | i'm italian so I'm sorry for my bad english | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !it | sh4rk89 | 08:16 |
| ubottu | sh4rk89: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 08:16 |
| losher | C-S-B_: I'm wondering if the session dies because the fake home directory doesn't have any gnome configuration files. Er, it is writeable isn't it? | 08:16 |
| jacquesdupontd | sh4rk89, i listen to you | 08:16 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: starx gives me the same old messed up screen.. :( | 08:16 |
| switcher | hi, i'm trying to install phpmyadmin but the package cannot be found? | 08:16 |
| jacquesdupontd | ActionParsnip is in secret love with ubottu | 08:17 |
| legend2440 | ActionParsnip: i did dmesg > nocamera.txt with no camera plugged in and then dmesg > camerapluggedin.txt with the camera plugged in usb and there is no difference in the files | 08:17 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: and I can't do anything (ctrl+alt+backspace for example doesn't work) | 08:17 |
| C-S-B_ | losher: its writeable and there are gnome configs in it | 08:17 |
| rww | switcher: it should be there. Have you done "sudo apt-get update" recently? | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: bah, and just to test, try it without the su step (running as root, really bad idea but worth a test) | 08:17 |
| losher | jacquesdupontd: $90 an hour doesn't go far in SF. It's an expensive city... | 08:17 |
| switcher | rww: yes i done that first | 08:17 |
| legend2440 | !dontzap | pisse | 08:17 |
| ubottu | pisse: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: its alt+k+print screen now | 08:17 |
| losher | C-S-B_: sorry then, I have no better theory... | 08:17 |
| jacquesdupontd | losher, i can imagine but here it's expensive to in France and where i live | 08:18 |
| sh4rk89 | i've a problem with ubuntu. I've a x86-64 compatible processor, so I recompiled the kernel with ARCH="x86_64". So now I'm using a x86-64 kernel with 32bit userspace. | 08:18 |
| switcher | rww: is it because i'm using the ubuntu-live-cd on test that the phpmyadmin package cannot be found? | 08:18 |
| Flannel | jacquesdupontd, losher: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 08:18 |
| jacquesdupontd | losher, just imagine i work 10 hours i got 900$ by days, it can be quite correct don't you think ? | 08:18 |
| jacquesdupontd | Flannel, sorry | 08:19 |
| sh4rk89 | The problem is that I can't install the nVidia driver for my video card. I've downloaded the 64bit version, but It say to me "nvidia-installer not found" | 08:19 |
| losher | jacquesdupontd: meet me in #ubuntu-offtopic... | 08:19 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: Same stuff running as root... | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sh4rk89: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 if you card is less than a few years old | 08:20 |
| sh4rk89 | I tryed to extract the file from the .run package and run it manually but....I can't execute it! It say "file not found" even if I use the relative path or absolute path | 08:20 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: am I f:ed? | 08:20 |
| === rww is now known as RobertWall | ||
| switcher | rww: is it because i'm using the ubuntu-live-cd on test that the phpmyadmin package cannot be found? | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: not at all, just need to work out whats going on. If you startx as user, then use alt+k+sysrq you can drop back to command line then run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 08:21 |
| RobertWall | switcher: I'm not sure. To be honest, I'd recommend installing phpmyadmin from upstream anyway. The package is probably harder to set up than the tarball.\ | 08:21 |
| === RobertWall is now known as rwx | ||

| switcher | ok thanks | 08:22 |

| ActionParsnip | pisse: then follow the dontzap factoid | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !dontzap | pisse | 08:23 |
| ubottu | pisse: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 08:23 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: k | 08:24 |
| sh4rk89 | ActionParsnip: ok...but I want to know why I can't execute that file. I also try chmod a=rwx but nothing is changed. You don't have some ideas? However the driver packed for ubuntu didn't work when I installed the system. | 08:24 |
| sleepy_cat | is it possible for me to have the Notify-OSD notification system in Ubuntu 9.04 in Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sh4rk89: you need to chmod +x the file, then when the log on screen arrives, change the session to console logon | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sh4rk89: kill gdm and x server, run the app, then reboot | 08:25 |
| sh4rk89 | ActionParsnip: ok, I've done that...the gdm service doesn't execute automatically. | 08:25 |
| sh4rk89 | the problem is that I can't execute that file (nvidia-installer) | 08:26 |
| sh4rk89 | (i'll come back soon) | 08:26 |

| sleepy_cat | any hope for making it work for pidgin also | 08:32 |
| Innxis | Hello! I have a problem with my keyboard. If I press CTRL, ALT or SHIFT, the keyboard signals sent to the computer doesn't work. For example, if I press CTRL, I hear a bios sound and if I start typing, nothing happens. Also, the mouse gets affected as well, left click having the same action as right click. | 08:32 |
| Innxis | I can disactivate this by pressing those keys again till I can type. | 08:33 |
| rww | sleepy_cat: you'd need to get Jaunty's pidgin package too, which probably has a bunch of jaunty dependencies... | 08:33 |
| Saruji | Hello everyone, I have a question, in setting up VirtualBox, there is an option for the CD-ROM called "pass through" what does this do? | 08:33 |
| Slart | Saruji: probably makes your "real" cd rom available in the vm | 08:34 |
| Myrtti | Saruji: it gives the virtual machine direct access to the hardware cd-rom of the host computer | 08:34 |
| rww | Saruji: I think it means that it exposes the machine's actual CD-ROM drive and the CD in it to the virtual machine. | 08:34 |
| om26er | hello every1 | 08:34 |
| Saruji | slart myrtti rww thank you | 08:34 |
| sleepy_cat | oh ok | 08:34 |
| Innxis | Some help on my topic, please? | 08:34 |
| TannerS | grrrr | 08:35 |
| om26er | can anyone please tell me a link to download the base install system of jaunty | 08:35 |
| sleepy_cat | so basicall rww its no use to try for pidgin to work with that because then there will be some problem with the pidgin to work | 08:35 |

| Innxis | What's that? | 08:35 |
| Myrtti | !mini | om26er | 08:35 |
| ubottu | om26er: 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 | 08:35 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: Same same again... uninstalled and installed gdm... | 08:36 |
| rww | sleepy_cat: basically, if you want features from Jaunty, you should be using Jaunty, rather than trying to patch together stuff from Jaunty and stuff from Intrepid. | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: did you use the --purge option? | 08:36 |
| om26er | Myrtti: no that one downloads components from the internet | 08:36 |
| soreau | Innxis: Does /var/log/Xorg.0.log show any problems, like evdev not loading for instance? | 08:36 |
| Innxis | Whatever I did, it seems that it was a Keyboard Settings problem from the OS. Now it works without a problem...still testing | 08:36 |

| losher | barry: you know about #ubuntu-fr ? | 08:39 |
| rww | om26er: yes, the regular live CD or the alternate CD. | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | pisse: you can use: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 08:39 |
| Fragsworth | After I do apt-get install memcached, does it automatically run the daemon and put it in the system on startup? | 08:39 |
| om26er | rww: alternate cd do require internet | 08:39 |
| rww | om26er: no, it doesn't | 08:40 |
| TannerS | ok well guys, my grub boot loader gives me an option to choose ubuntu or windows, but i cant add a secon windows entry, and i found out why, in grub when i choose windows, it takes me then to windows boot loader and ask me which windows to load vista or 7 :S | 08:40 |
| TannerS | ' | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | om26er: you could put the alternate cd on a usb stick and boot to the minimal iso maybe | 08:40 |
| barry | yes i now | 08:40 |
| om26er | rww: and the normal live cd does not install base | 08:40 |
| barry | yeah i know | 08:40 |
| losher | barry: ok, just making sure... | 08:40 |
| om26er | ActionParsnip: what that mean | 08:40 |

| Guest63771 | i have transparent proxy setup in squid and iptables rule but clients need to access outside smtp/pop without proxy so i enabled ip forwarding with default policy of drop on forward chain .. what rules do i need to allow only forward for port 25 and 110 ??? | 08:41 |
| barry | ok tanks , it ' s my 2 connection | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | om26er: you can use the alternate cd as an offline repo, boot to the minimal cd then use the offline repo to install what you wish. it may not work but makes sense | 08:41 |
| Guest63771 | ? | 08:42 |
| pisse | ActionParsnip: The resolution should be bigger imo.. | 08:42 |

| sh4rk89 | ActionParsnip: are you listen to me? | 08:56 |
| sh4rk89 | I've done ALL this step | 08:56 |
| Flannel | om26er: Not sure. I'm not familiar with unetbootin | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | sh4rk89: then it will work. At no point are you to extract the file, its not a step in any guide i can find | 08:57 |
| om26er | Flannel: actually am talking abt ubuntu alternate | 08:57 |
| sh4rk89 | download the 64bit driver, chmod +x ..., run it in a console with gdm stopped with super user privilege | 08:57 |
| Flannel | om26er: ah. No, it won't. | 08:57 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: to be fair, his system is a hybrid mess of architectures. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem. | 08:57 |
| wizzo50 | Hi | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sh4rk89: yes in console logon | 08:57 |

| sh4rk89 | ActionParsnip: ok, thanks however | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: but the driver runs with the kernel so should be ok | 08:58 |

| ActionParsnip | sh4rk89: ok thats cool | 08:58 |
| wizzo50 | When I load Pidgin, why do I have 2 other boxes appear, one that is NickServ and Freenode-connect? How do I get rid of them? | 08:59 |
| Sandking11114 | what's the character limit for the filename+path under ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| TheMusicGuy1 | I have a panel app the size of a single pixel and its too small to move or delete, but it's still restricting the size of other panel apps. How can I remove it? | 08:59 |
| om26er | Flannel: what do I do? | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sh4rk89: then the steps should be fine, log off, change session to console, kill all gdm processes and run the binary with: sudo ~/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run and it will do its thing | 09:00 |

| Saruji | Hey guys, question: Running XP on VirtualBox do I need to install any drivers? Or will they all just be installed automatically via virtualbox? | 09:01 |
| sh4rk89 | ActionParsnip: I know that it should work, but it's not working!!! Is strange also for me...I recompiled a 64bit kernel perfectly working...so I think I'm able to run a stupid driver installer... | 09:01 |
| TheMusicGuy1 | Also, how do I create a (k)qemu disk image that will expand as necessary, but won't take up lots of actual disk space if the virtual disk space isn't actually in use? | 09:02 |
| rww | Saruji: it works okay out of the box, but the VirtualBox Guest Additions will install anything that's missing. | 09:02 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 09:02 |

| rww | !nickspam | DarwinSurvivor_ | 09:04 |
| ubottu | DarwinSurvivor_: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead. See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » | 09:04 |

| paul68 | when launching my server it hangs when initializing the samba deamons then it continues after about 10 mins how do I solve this | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: never used them, never saw the point. I employ the KISS rule | 09:05 |
| om26er | Flannel: alternate cd really requires internet?? | 09:05 |

| om26er | rww: please help | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | C-S-B: makes life harder, i'm not too down with that, hence linux :) | 09:08 |
| paul68 | which server version is better the 8.04 or the 9.04 | 09:08 |
| Qu4R0w | how to fix??i cant move my open window and there is no minimize,exit button in right top corner | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: if you make a new user in root recovery console and add it to the admin group, you can log on as that and troubleshoot | 09:08 |
| om26er | rww now as I am booting from usb it gives the error cd rom was not detected | 09:08 |
| rww | paul68: 8.04, unless you're okay with having to upgrade your server once a year | 09:09 |
| Qu4R0w | ActionParsnip: so i nid make new user? | 09:09 |
| rww | om26er: oh, you're booting from USB? Yeah, alternate CD + USB = problems. | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: both are fine, 8.04 will be supported longer so I'd go for that | 09:10 |
| === DarwinSurvivor_ is now known as DarwinSurvivor | ||
| om26er | rww: but I don't have a external cd rom | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: adduser tester; useradd -G admin tester; passwd tester | 09:11 |
| rww | om26er: hit ctrl-alt-f2 and do "mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /cdrom". That might get it working. | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: will make you a user named tester | 09:11 |
| rww | om26er: (change sdc to whatever your USB device is) | 09:11 |

| Qu4R0w | ActionParsnip: i can del that user after all ok right? | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: change the name if you wish | 09:11 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: how to solve this any thoughts | 09:11 |
| wizzo50 | How do you edit what starts up when Ubuntu is loaded? | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: sure, one you get a desktop you can look at whats going on, you may have to sacrifice .gnome and .gconf based folders in your original users home | 09:12 |

| mohd | what offtopic mean ?? | 09:37 |
| mohd | not allowed to talk about ? | 09:37 |
| wizzo50 | ActionParsnip: For like what you pastebin me and was talking about earlier is what I am talking about when you typed !startup and !boot and there was suppose to be that under it | 09:37 |
| Qu4R0w | ActionParsnip: still same* | 09:37 |
| mohd | yea but the main company at usa | 09:37 |
| rww | AdvoWork: if you run "sudo ufw status" on the ssh server, does it say "Status: inactive" or "Status: active" | 09:37 |
| Qu4R0w | ActionParsnip: also same..8.10,backtrack 4,xp,9.04 | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | wizzo50: yes ubottu is made to respond to certain factoids | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: does the boot actually do anything? | 09:38 |
| Qu4R0w | ActionParsnip: no i think..nothing happen | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mohd: it means, this is a support channel. Asking about the country of origin of ubuntu is not an ubuntu support question | 09:39 |
| hxc__ | does ubuntu have somekind of search stuff? | 09:39 |
| Qu4R0w | ActionParsnip: but i can see some small flash i guess.something like trying to load* | 09:39 |

| DougM | for photoshop couldnt i just partin a drive and booot from from the photoshop cd on the drive? | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: thats only a text file, you could change it to say Ubuntu 400.3000004343 and it makes no difference to the installed system | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | DougM: no as photoshop needs an OS to run it | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | DougM: you will use the PS CD to install it | 09:41 |
| Qu4R0w | ActionParsnip: i press 8.10 and it boot to my bt4..my boot/geub/menu.1st not have title set=8.10 | 09:42 |

| Promythyus | hey all | 09:42 |

| ActionParsnip | Qu4R0w: if it really bothers you, you can rename menu.lst, boot to a live CD and recreate the file by reinstalling grub but its really not worth it just for the sake of a line on a screen that lasts all of 3 seconds | 09:43 |

| vikas | ok i will try that now | 11:21 |
| indus | vikas: in terminal sudo grub, then find /boot/grub/stage1 | 11:21 |

| gartral | jrib: man isnt helping, just giving me example of obscure crud too do with zip, and all i want is a single directory of 6 pictures packed into an archive! | 11:33 |
| vikas | hi guys its not mounting from live USB either. I think i messed it up by installing grub on sda1. now i am cloning back the original image without grub and will try then. | 11:33 |
| indus | gartral: zip -r files filename wont work? | 11:34 |
| jrib | gartral: scroll down to the EXAMPLES section, then read "To zip up an entire directory, the command: zip -r foo foo creates the archive foo.zip containing all the files and directories in the directory foo that is contained within the current directory." | 11:34 |

| indus | vikas: yes | 11:35 |
| indus | gartral: i suppose you tried already but zip -r name.zip file2 file3 file4 | 11:36 |
| vikas | indus: its not mounting from live USB either. I think i messed it up by installing grub on sda1. now i am cloning back the original image without grub and will try then | 11:36 |

| jrib | gartral: pastebin your command, the output and the ls output of path/to/dir I guess | 11:36 |

| gartral | jrib: nvm, i see my error | 11:40 |
| grawity | big---ben: When you install a new kernel, Ubuntu doesn't remove the previous one - it lets you choose when booting. | 11:40 |
| grawity | big---ben: On the boot menu you should have the new kernel and the one you had before dist-upgrade. | 11:41 |
| big---ben | grawity: the only choice was the previous one | 11:41 |
| indus | gartral: i just zipped afew files | 11:41 |
| frogzoo | big---ben: you want to try 'sudo update-grub' (should have been done by dist-upgrade) | 11:41 |
| jrib | grawity: is there a reason you don't just use the right click menu like indus pointed out? | 11:41 |

| Arenlor | I'm wondering, does anyone know why the system monitor tray app does not show my HDD activity? | 11:43 |
| gartral | indus: no.. i was trying ./path/to/zip /path/to/folder but my target folder was in my /home, and i "ommitted" the ./ part | 11:44 |
| indus | gartral: jrib: didnt reduce size much though, 3.2 mb down to 2.8 | 11:44 |
| indus | i hear pzip is superb | 11:44 |
| jrib | indus: try bzip2 instead? | 11:44 |
| indus | i mean 7zip | 11:44 |
| om26er | cdrecord | 11:44 |
| kindofabuzz | Arenlor, have you looked at it's preferences and chosen that feature? | 11:44 |
| om26er | how to make cdrecord work | 11:45 |
| indus | it gives some message about deflate files etc though when zipping | 11:45 |
| indus | vikas: hi sorry forgot | 11:45 |
| om26er | indus how to install cd record | 11:45 |
| indus | om26er: its in synaptic | 11:46 |
| indus | om26er: sudo apt-get install cdrecord | 11:46 |
| vikas | indus, its fine, i am just waiting for cloning to complete to try once again. | 11:46 |
| indus | om26er: install wodim | 11:46 |
| Arenlor | kindofabuzz: Yes, it constantly says 0% in use, even when using a disk intensive operation | 11:46 |
| indus | om26er: i think it auto selects that for install | 11:47 |
| om26er | yes' | 11:47 |
| indus | om26er: what are you tying to achieve? | 11:47 |
| indus | om26er: cdrecord i think has been replaced by wodim,but wodim is installed by default i believe | 11:48 |
| indus | om26er: required as a backend for gnomebaker or bresero i think | 11:48 |
| om26er | indus: i cannot write a cd nautilus shows that there is a blank cd but brasero says there is nothing same is the problem with other burners | 11:48 |
| indus | om26er: maybe the cd has a problem | 11:49 |
| koshari | Arenlor check with top, the sys monitor may not show some root processes | 11:49 |
| indus | om26er: does it work on windows? is cdrom mounted, check output of mount | 11:49 |
| om26er | indus: then i inserted a dvd and the problem persists | 11:49 |
| kindofabuzz | om26er, i had that happen once, a reboot solved it | 11:49 |
| om26er | indus: yes it is not mounted | 11:50 |
| kindofabuzz | probably another way of solving it since on linux but i just rebooted | 11:50 |
| indus | om26er: then mount it manually | 11:50 |

| indus | om26er: try also a mount -a | 11:51 |
| Arenlor | koshari: I didn't realize top showed harddrive access | 11:51 |
| froes | is there a text editor with macro support? | 11:52 |
| koshari | Arenlor it shows memory and cpu usage so it is likely to point to the process thats polling the hdd. | 11:52 |
| om26er | indus: its a usb dvdrw | 11:52 |
| indus | om26er: ohhh | 11:52 |
| indus | om26er: whats lsusb output | 11:52 |
| Arenlor | koshari: The problem is that the System Monitor tray thing doesn't show my HDD access, and I want to be able to see when something is polling it | 11:53 |

| indus | om26er: it is mounted | 11:54 |
| indus | om26er: aah no wait | 11:54 |
| kindofabuzz | Arenlor, so you've checked hard disk in it's preferences? | 11:55 |
| vikas | indus, it worked, what i thought was right. When i install grub on sda1 something went wrong so couldnt mount that partition. | 11:55 |
| indus | vikas: ok then how did you solve it? | 11:55 |
| Arenlor | kindofabuzz: Yes | 11:55 |
| vikas | indus, just cloned the HD back with the backup image that i took before playing with this. that didnt had any grub installed | 11:56 |

Anyone got a clue? | 12:39 |
| Qu4R0w | my window decoration in gnome was corrupted..how to fix? | 12:39 |
| tottto-drummond | nottiman have u tried Envyng | 12:39 |
| Qu4R0w | nottinman:u use nvidia? | 12:40 |
| nottinman | it worked before without | 12:40 |
| nottinman | yes nvidia | 12:40 |
| tottto-drummond | nottiman... Envyng generally solves the problem | 12:40 |
| nottinman | ok i will try that. what does it do? | 12:41 |
| tottto-drummond | it install appropriate drivers for either Nvidia or ATI video card. simply follow the instructions | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen envyng cause problems.. :) | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | but i will leave it at that.. | 12:42 |
| tottto-drummond | you can get it right from synaptic | 12:42 |

According to this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/how-to-open-ports-in-ubuntu-451282/ ports aren't open until they are listened to. So I have an app which should listen to a port but netstat tells me it doesn't.. so if I open the port it will work correctly? How do I do that? I haven't installed a firewall so maybe that's what I should do? Like ufw? | 12:54 |

| Cube_ | does ubuntu have a firewall? | 13:04 |
| Cube_ | !firewall | 13:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 13:04 |
| ditty_kong | yes ubuntu comes with a firewall | 13:04 |
| Myrtti | aaron11: stop requesting people remote desktop you. It's very unlikely that someone will. also, ircII is very, very old IRC client, and you'd probably find more luck and help with irssi. | 13:04 |
| Cube_ | ditty_kong: by default, right? so its running right away, from the beginning? | 13:04 |
| Qu4R0w | Dr_Willis: in /usr/share/xsessions i have blackbox,fluxbox,gnome,secure remote connection,xfce session | 13:04 |
| ditty_kong | yes Cube_ that is correct | 13:05 |
| jrib | Cube_: sure but the firewall has no rules set by default. There are also no services listening on any port by default | 13:05 |
| Cube_ | ditty_kong: thanks! | 13:05 |
| aaron11 | ok | 13:05 |
| Cube_ | jrib: so, if i leave it as is, am i kind of secure? | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Qu4R0w: yep.. and theres proberly some otehr dirs on the system that may also be getting searched. I dont recall where those are at. try 'locate WHATEVER.desktop' for those files to see if theres some duplicates somewhere. | 13:05 |
| Myrtti | Cube_: it's running from the start, but it's not activated as it has nothing to block per default | 13:05 |

| Qu4R0w | Dr_Willis: i try | 13:06 |
| jrib | Cube_: if you leave it as it is, it's the same as having no firewall. But yes your system is secure regardless since there are no services listening by default | 13:06 |
| Myrtti | !vnc | lemuria | 13:06 |
| ubottu | lemuria: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | vnc is very flexiable - thers dozen ways to set it up - dependign on your exact needs. | 13:07 |

| jiohdi | ditty, it seemed that way until mint started crashing big time... | 13:29 |
| joaopinto | macgyver_, have you checked the firewall settings on the windows box ? | 13:29 |
| macgyver_ | yea its all off for the test | 13:30 |

| jrib | orschiro: why wouldn't it? | 13:52 |

| fission6 | has anyone here run audacity in ubuntu | 13:53 |
| joaopinto | orschiro, if the target is not unix-capable, like ntfs, you will need to use archiving, like tar | 13:53 |
| orschiro | I think it's capable because it's a fat usb media but tar sounds like a good idea :) | 13:54 |
| orschiro | so simply tar my whole /home? | 13:54 |
| jrib | orschiro: fat doesn't have unix-style permissions | 13:54 |

| dataviruset | i coded a shell script and when i try to run it it just says "unable to execute: no such file or directory", what have i done wrong? :( | 15:17 |
| morris1 | is it currently possible to (fully) use my ati radeon HD 3870 x2 with ubuntu 9.04? the last time i tried to install the proprietary driver, i couldnt start ubuntu and had to remove the driver in recovery mode | 15:17 |
| funkyHat | dataviruset: pastebin the script? | 15:17 |
| haskellnoob | sipior: I couldn't find anything about the machine trying to initialize networking during boot, either before or after it loads the firmware. Is there a way I can output a log message from within the /etc/network/interfaces file, so that I can figure out whether it gets executed at all? | 15:17 |
| jimd | dataviruset: Bad "shebang" line (#!) | 15:17 |
| jimd | Do you have a typo in the patch to your shell/interpreter? | 15:18 |
| funkyHat | Oh yeah :D | 15:18 |
| dataviruset | funkyHat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/235227/ | 15:18 |
| funkyHat | dataviruset: and did you make it executable? | 15:19 |
| dataviruset | funkyHat: yes, i ran chmod 0777 srcds_checker | 15:19 |
| funkyHat | uh, 777 is not clever | 15:19 |
| funkyHat | Change it to 755 | 15:19 |
| dataviruset | funkyHat: okay... | 15:19 |
| Sirisian|Work_ | jrib, heh I copied a folder into a folder. :P | 15:19 |
| jrib | Sirisian|Work_: :) | 15:20 |
| funkyHat | dataviruset: have you put it somewhere that is in your path? if it's in the pwd you need to run it like $ ./scriptname.sh | 15:20 |
| sipior | haskellnoob: sure, you can specify any command to be run after the interface is rasied via the "post-up" statement. | 15:20 |
| funkyHat | I put my own little shell scripts in ~/.local/bin and add that dir to my path variable, dataviruset | 15:21 |
| dataviruset | funkyHat: it's in /usr/local/bin, and i have tried with sudo ./srcds_checker, sudo /usr/local/bin/srcds_checker and stuff... | 15:21 |
| haskellnoob | sipior: let me try putting 'service networking restart' in /etc/rc.local and see if that fixes this | 15:21 |
| polygonWindow | has anybody experience in installing openoffice from the Shell/SSH and run and use it as service on Ubuntu Hardy v8.04.2? | 15:21 |

| sanguisdex | so with compiz fusion is there a way to save settings profiles | 15:23 |

| mgray5159 | has anyone used ubuntu studio | 15:25 |
| Gnea | !anyone | 15:25 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 15:25 |
| mgray5159 | what is the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu studio | 15:25 |
| funkyHat | sanguisdex: but if you shut it of using metacity --replace, and start it again using compiz --replace, rather than changing settings in appearance prefs, you won't lose your settings to begin with | 15:25 |
| mgray5159 | is it just packages installed? | 15:25 |
| pdelgallego | hello I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 in a centrino-512Mb Ram laptop, but Its slow. Do you think xubuntu its going to be significant faster than Ubuntu? Any other easy distro more lightweight? | 15:25 |
| Gnea | !studio | mgray5159 | 15:26 |
| ubottu | mgray5159: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 15:26 |
| sanguisdex | funkyHat: that sounds good | 15:26 |
| sanguisdex | funkyHat: I have been using the screenlet and its just a mess | 15:26 |
| Halitech | pdelgallego, with the way xubuntu has been going, its not any lighter then ubuntu anymore, you could try a minimal install and just add what you want | 15:26 |
| funkyHat | sanguisdex: you could make a couple of launcher screenlets that run those commands | 15:27 |
| funkyHat | sanguisdex: or get clever and write a script to toggle with one launcher | 15:27 |
| thiebaude | pdelgallego, i use 9.04 with openbox, but there many other window managers | 15:27 |
| thiebaude | pdelgallego, and i ahve 512mb of ram also | 15:28 |

| Halitech | pdelgallego, you can have as many DE's as you want | 15:29 |
| Free-Lancer | How may i use a loop | 15:30 |
| thiebaude | pdelgallego, no i keep gnome | 15:30 |
| LordLandon | Free-Lancer: a bash script? | 15:30 |
| funkyHat | Free-Lancer: put at the top of the script "while true" and at the bottom "done" | 15:30 |
| dataviruset | jimd: i did not understand what you said before - but maybe you were right, can you explain what you mean? | 15:30 |
| * sanguisdex always needs an excuse to practice shell scripting and lean environment vars | 15:30 | |
| funkyHat | Free-Lancer: if you want it to repeat indefinitely | 15:30 |
| pdelgallego | Halitech, what is a DE? | 15:31 |
| Free-Lancer | Thanks ill try that now | 15:31 |

| edwin_ubuntu | hola? | 15:31 |
| thiebaude | Halitech, thats one of the reasons i love ubuntu, the number of wm's you can have | 15:32 |
| Halitech | pdelgallego, ie XFCE (Xubuntu) Gnome (Ubuntu) KDE (Kubuntu) main difference is the apps each install | 15:32 |
| Halitech | thiebaude, I've gotten to where I stick with XFCE but I keep thinking of putting LXDE on, it looks pretty slick | 15:32 |
| pdelgallego | Halitech, ok. | 15:32 |
| thiebaude | Halitech, yea, i loved xfce | 15:33 |
| sanguisdex | funkyHat: I will be writing the script but as a backup do you know how I can overwrite the default compiz settings | 15:33 |
| atilla | hello | 15:33 |
| atilla | uhm | 15:33 |
| thiebaude | Halitech, but still my gnome idles at 100mb and openbox at 57mb | 15:33 |
| funkyHat | sanguisdex: in ccsm, click preferences and there are some options for backing up and restoring your configuration | 15:33 |
| Halitech | thiebaude, just too bad xubuntu has moved towards being another gnome version and is almost as slow as gnome on older systems | 15:33 |
| Halitech | thiebaude, nice | 15:34 |
| thiebaude | Halitech, i agree | 15:34 |

| dataviruset | does anyone know why my shell script isn't working? it just says no such file or directory -.- | 15:36 |
| Pici | dataviruset: How are you trying to execute it? | 15:36 |

| dataviruset | OEP, Pici: /usr/local/bin/srcds_checker | 15:37 |
| dataviruset | i have tried with sudo aswell | 15:37 |
| Pici | dataviruset: And what does the first line of the script say? Is it !# something?? | 15:38 |
| dataviruset | Pici: yes, it's #!/bin/sh | 15:38 |
| dataviruset | Pici: the whole script is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/235232/ | 15:38 |

| Qu4R0w | janisoza1r: sudo mount? | 15:55 |
| microtech | sipior: isn't there an mdadm command to bring it back online automatically, is that the assemble? | 15:55 |
| janisoza1r | Qu4R0w: or using nautilus | 15:55 |
| Qu4R0w | janisoza1r: cant open | 15:55 |
| janisoza1r | Qu4R0w: then mount manually | 15:55 |
| sipior | microtech: yes, but assemble requires a device name | 15:55 |

| microtech | sipior: will try it | 15:55 |
| thiebaude | atilla, did you partition your drive using the live cd to allow ubuntu to be installed side by side | 15:56 |

| Joe1 | halitech; no | 16:17 |

| sipior | otacon122: you could just amble over to the samba web page and have a look. | 16:35 |
| edbian | Themi: I do! Are you having troubles with it? | 16:35 |
| Themi | It is not allowing me to run my 3d affects in appearance | 16:35 |

| Themi | yup | 16:35 |
| jackd | Zobin: ati? nvidia? or what? | 16:35 |

| edbian | Themi: Check out the compiz check script. http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check Do you know how to run a script? | 16:36 |
| moustafaza | Can a damaged battery cause the laptop to keep on restarting while it attached, and work well while it's not? | 16:36 |

| edbian | Themi: Go to the site I linked and download the script. | 16:36 |
| Vlet | moustafaza: plausible I suppose | 16:36 |
| microtech | moustafaza: say again, it works fine when there is no battery attached, but restarts when the battery is attached? Regardless of being plugged in? | 16:36 |
| edbian | Themi: Also to determine what driver you're currently using run this command: "lspci -k" Look for your video card and tell me what "modules" are loaded (modules are drivers in linux) | 16:37 |

| janisoza1r | Zobin: afair x850 is in the legacy driver, that might have trouble compiling modules against newer kernels | 16:37 |
| edbian | judithtgilde: Are you sure that package is in that repo? | 16:37 |
| janisoza1r | Zobin: so i think you should use ubuntu official packages | 16:37 |
| Halitech | Zobin, ati dropped support for the x850 and only the 9.3 version works but only in 8.10 or lower | 16:38 |
| moustafaza | microtech, I mean when the the battery of my laptop is attached, which is probably damaged, the laptop keeps on shuttingdown without any notifications (as if power is un-plugged) | 16:38 |
| asdfroot | hi | 16:38 |
| ububegin_ | So Can i confirm this problem is universal.. *You cant watch youtube videos in ubuntu* | 16:38 |
| judithtgilde | edbian: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/index.html suggest it is | 16:38 |
| janisoza1r | ububegin_: you can | 16:38 |
| microtech | moustafaza: does it do that when only running on battery, if you have the battery in and plugged into the wall at the same time is it fine? | 16:38 |
| ububegin_ | So Can i confirm this problem is universal.. *You cant watch youtube videos in ubuntu IN A BROWSER* ... how bout this | 16:39 |
| Zobin | janisoza1r: Which package should I download? I downloaded the Catalyst before, and it made my computer crash. | 16:39 |
| edbian | judithtgilde: It does appear to be that way. Are those other packages showing up? | 16:39 |
| asdfroot | is there a way to make a read-only-filesystem (hfs+) writeable? | 16:39 |
| moustafaza | microtech, if the battery is unplugged it works fine. but if the battery is attached the laptop gets truned off by itself | 16:39 |

| Zobin | Ok | 16:39 |

| janisoza1r | ububegin_: so can i | 16:40 |
| outy | how can i remove the network icon from my notifications area ? | 16:40 |
| microtech | moustafaza: even when its plugged into the wall? If so then definitely your battery is bad | 16:40 |
| Halitech | Ububegin, works for me (not that I have any desire to) | 16:40 |
| edbian | outy: Just remove the notification area | 16:40 |
| ububegin_ | jackd, edbian : do you guys feel as though there is a lag.. Try fullscreening it | 16:40 |
| outy | not worth having one on ubuntu ? | 16:40 |
| judithtgilde | edbian: no, none of them show up | 16:40 |
| moustafaza | microtech, OK thanks! | 16:40 |

| microtech | moustafaza: sure thing =) | 16:41 |
| edbian | judithtgilde: Did you reload synaptic? Does it show up in the origins section? | 16:41 |
| asdfroot_ | hi | 16:41 |
| microtech | sipior: did you by chance look at the pastebin, it looks like md-mod didn't come up at all | 16:41 |
| Free-Lancer | My text file has multiple lines, How can i add a word to the end of each line via terminal? | 16:41 |
| sipior | microtech: yes. which raid level are you running? | 16:42 |
| microtech | sipior: whichever the equiv. of JBOD was | 16:42 |
| edbian | ububegin: I think that is a cross platform problem with flash. I've seen it before. The words don't match up with the mouths of the peoplei n the video correct? Like it's just a second late. | 16:42 |
| asdfroot_ | can i make a hfs+ filesystem writeable? it says read-only | 16:42 |
| judithtgilde | edbian: yes, medibuntu is in the list | 16:42 |
| sipior | microtech: can you tell me what "lsmod | grep raid" returns? | 16:42 |
| edbian | judithtgilde: Did you "reload" ?? | 16:42 |

| Guest54877 | just copy it to ubuntu | 16:55 |
| JenniferB | btw, how do I start my own screen ? :) | 16:56 |
| Guest54877 | why copy it to windoze? | 16:56 |
| Dulak | JenniferB: type "screen" | 16:56 |
| edbian | Guest54877: I'm going to call the operators in if you don't start either helping others or getting help yourself. | 16:56 |
| jackd | JenniferB: Dulak said it :) | 16:56 |
| Keiffer | If I right click - porperties under Permissions tab it sais "permissions could not be determined | 16:56 |
| Guest54877 | why are you copying to windows | 16:56 |
| rah | Halitech, no, yes, yes | 16:56 |
| judithtgilde | edbian: thanks a lot of helping me :) | 16:56 |
| edbian | Keiffer: Go there in a terminal and type ls -l | 16:56 |
| Halitech | Guest54877, maybe the OP has an external drive that is formatted NTFS that is shared with windows computers | 16:56 |
| edbian | judithtgilde: NP! | 16:57 |
| sipior | microtech: ah, this might help: http://blog.creonfx.com/linux/mdadm-raid-failed-after-upgrade-from-ubuntu-810-to-904 | 16:57 |
| Guest54877 | seems rather odd | 16:57 |
| Keiffer | edbian, pastebin? | 16:57 |
| microtech | sipior: lol ya | 16:57 |
| Halitech | rah, bad video then? commercial dvd or burned copy? | 16:57 |
| sipior | microtech: this also explains the md_d0 device naming. | 16:57 |
| edbian | Keiffer: Or just tell me the permissions for /media/ntfs | 16:57 |
| Halitech | Guest54877, I do it all the time | 16:57 |
| microtech | sipior: how can I remind myself what two disks I used again lol | 16:57 |
| microtech | sipior: is it in the conf file? | 16:57 |
| rah | Halitech, it's a manufactured DVD, not a burned one | 16:58 |
| Guest54877 | if u like and run linux then drop windows crap all together | 16:58 |
| sipior | microtech: should be | 16:58 |
| janisoza1r | Keiffer: it might not be exactly what you want, but there's a project ext2ifs, that enables you to read ext2 (and ext3, since it's backward compatible) in windows | 16:58 |
| Keiffer | edbian /media/ntfs is not there | 16:58 |
| janisoza1r | Keiffer: there are some limitations though | 16:58 |
| rah | Halitech, it plays fine in separate dvd player | 16:58 |
| Halitech | rah, strange encryption? | 16:58 |
| edbian | Keiffer: You have to cd to /media first :) Do you know what I'm talking about? | 16:58 |
| === Guest94079 is now known as tonyyarusso | ||
| Guest54877 | window si worthless for me needs | 16:58 |
| Keiffer | janisozalr, I don't have windows. Only ubuntu. and I want to make transmission startup, mount that partition and then to download | 16:58 |
| rah | Halitech, "strange"? | 16:58 |
| microtech | sipior: hrm, its not in the mdadm.conf =( shoot, what disks were they | 16:59 |
| janisoza1r | !tab | Keiffer | 16:59 |
| ubottu | Keiffer: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 16:59 |
| Guest54877 | why? | 16:59 |
| edbian | Kieffer: That is very doable :) | 16:59 |
| Guest54877 | well just boot ubuntu a nd run that app | 16:59 |
| janisoza1r | Keiffer: if you don't have windows, why use ntfs? | 16:59 |
| Guest54877 | very simple easie rthen what u wnat | 16:59 |
| Guest54877 | yeah really man | 16:59 |
| edbian | Keiffer: That's a good point. ext3 is a much more effecient file-system | 16:59 |
| om26er | edbian: can you please tell me how to set lan dhcp from terminal | 16:59 |
| Keiffer | edbian, I'm kinda new.. so i don't know mych | 16:59 |
| Guest54877 | ntfs is windows only | 16:59 |
| SirTopHat_ | I'm trying to install openssh-server, and I get openssh-server: Depends: openssh-client (= 1:4.2p1-7ubuntu3.5) but 1:5.1p1-5ubuntu1 is to be installed. I already have openssh-client installed though so I don't see what's wrong here | 16:59 |
| Keiffer | So, reformat the partiotion to ext3? | 17:00 |
| edbian | Keiffer: Let's start with the terminal | 17:00 |
| Dulak | Keiffer: if you don't have windows, if the ntfs partition takes a dump you can't boot windows to chdsk it | 17:00 |
| Guest54877 | i like what they say about ext4 | 17:00 |
| Guest54877 | big dela | 17:00 |
| Halitech | rah, what movie is it? | 17:00 |
| edbian | Keiffer: Is that ok? | 17:00 |
| Keiffer | edbian, ok | 17:00 |
| rah | Halitech, Transformers | 17:00 |
| Dulak | Keiffer: you should convert ntfs to ext3 if you are moving to only using linux | 17:00 |
| edbian | Keiffer: PM me? | 17:00 |
| JenniferB | jackd: when I type screen -ls , the message says : there is a screen on : ... but I can't really get what the PID is | 17:00 |
| edbian | om26er: I think all you need to do is install the package is that correcT? | 17:01 |
| Guest54877 | is it possible to use ext4? | 17:01 |
| Dulak | Jennifer: it's not a pid, it's a screen id | 17:01 |
| Guest54877 | looking into ext4 | 17:01 |
| Halitech | Guest54877, windows might be useless for you but for some it is a necessary evil that they keep windows and have to have inter-operability | 17:01 |
| JenniferB | and I believe there is more screeens running ( i have like typed screen hundred times now ) | 17:01 |
| Guest54877 | lol windows sucks taht all i gotta say to that on | 17:01 |
| om26er | edbian: yes but its not being done | 17:01 |
| jackd | JenniferB: Look here: 5797.pts-1.Develb0x 5797 is the PID :) | 17:01 |
| Guest54877 | inter crapbilty maybe lol | 17:01 |
| alfaromeo | hi guys | 17:02 |
| Halitech | rah, and vlc and other players do the same? | 17:02 |
| rprague | morning everyone. I've got a weird issue with a 9.04 server build that's been running fine. I haven't installed anything recently other than updates, after a reboot this morning (server room power shutoff) the system hangs indefinately at 'starting crond' in normal mode. I can boot recovery and start/stop crond without a problem, and I've got nothing in messages or dmesg. Any ideas? | 17:02 |
| om26er | edbian: it says failed to download. as I am not online but my internet is fine | 17:02 |
| Dulak | Guest5477: ext4 needs some time to mature I think, I won't be running it anytime soon in production that's for sure | 17:02 |
| Themi | hey guys, how do I register my name for ubuntu irc... I got the 3d to work as well for my compiz.... | 17:02 |
| rprague | sheesh, that was longer than I wanted | 17:02 |
| danlii | My computer running Ubuntu 9.04 sets the system time back two hours every time i put it in Suspend mode and then wakes it. What seems to be the problem there? | 17:02 |
| Guest54877 | vlc is awesome highly reccomened | 17:02 |
| om26er | edbian: and I am not using gui | 17:02 |
| edbian | om26er: What? Are you online or not? | 17:02 |
| Guest54877 | 9.10 will have ext4 in it | 17:02 |
| rah | Halitech, no, they don't even play corrupted video; they do nothing | 17:02 |
| edbian | om26er: That's fine. You can do this without a GUI :) | 17:02 |

| Kingsy101 | oh cool, how does it work ? | 17:03 |

| microtech | is this a valid UUID? I'm used to having hyphens in them: 2367b3f6:6d55123b:2d9dcf67:3a9fa2e8 | 17:08 |
| sipior | microtech: it's actually four concatenated uuids | 17:09 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, or you can try this: http://www.windowsvistaplace.com/remote-desktop-sharing-in-ubuntu-debian-admin/linux/ | 17:09 |
| grawity | microtech: An UUID is just a number, an 128-bit number. It doesn't matter how is it represented - hex with dashes, hex with colons, or even base64. | 17:09 |
| grawity | sipior: er, no. | 17:09 |

| ubuntizer | how can i find out where the problem is ? ?? | 17:11 |
| grawity | microtech: 'mount' might work. | 17:11 |
| ubuntizer | :-s | 17:11 |
| sipior | grawity: ah yes, i'm mistaken. | 17:11 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - hmm it doesnt look too good actually | 17:11 |

| microtech | grawity: thx | 17:11 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, what doesn't look too good? | 17:11 |
| grawity | jackd: That will only show "Linux". | 17:11 |
| Guest54877 | and microtech show sup as she male with four cocks | 17:11 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - VNC doesnt look good you see because all of the different PC's I will be connecting to from the outside are on the same network | 17:12 |

| Guest54877 | don't get me wrong i like a good stiff cock | 17:12 |
| microtech | Guest28565: what? lol | 17:12 |
| Kingsy101 | so they don't all have an IP address available | 17:12 |
| jackd | grawity: sure? it will show all partitions | 17:12 |
| ubuntizer | Hi guys. :-) Can i know why i cant access all google services like (gmail, orkut, google etc) on my ubuntu properly... i mean site sometimes open sometimes it just keeps on loading..no its not my network problem, it works fine on windows | 17:12 |
| sipior | Guest54877: the adults would like to have a conversation. | 17:12 |
| ubuntizer | any help guys :( | 17:12 |
| microtech | ubuntizer: what browser | 17:12 |

| Guest54877 | sipor cock looks aweosme in the game diplays his awes cock n balls to full 3d hd glory | 17:12 |
| grawity | jackd: It will, yes, but all ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystems share the same 'Linux' filesystem identifier. | 17:12 |
| nsahoo | if firefox says for an URL "Server not found" does it mean the remote site is down or does it mean that there is some issue with the DNS lookup? | 17:13 |
| ubuntizer | <microtech> Any browser.. i have tried on firefox, epiphnay, chromum | 17:13 |
| jackd | grawity: ah ok. yes thats true | 17:13 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - that TeamViewer program was perfect because all you did was install and type in a ID and password and bang it worked, you didnt need to specify IP address's or port numbers or anything.. | 17:13 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, that's no problem, that | 17:13 |
| sipior | Guest54877: that's really the best you can manage? | 17:13 |
| Halitech | nsahoo, could be either | 17:13 |
| ubuntizer | <microtech> even tried reinstalling browsers | 17:13 |
| Kingsy101 | but it didnt work too well with WINE | 17:13 |
| sheep | nsahoo: it means that it could not find the server with that address | 17:13 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - can I pm you ? | 17:13 |
| grawity | nsahoo: "Not found" generally means the DNS lookup didn't return a valid address. Try the command 'host some.host.com' on terminal. | 17:13 |
| microtech | ubuntizer: and it doesnt give you any errors or anything, it just loads sometimes and not others? | 17:13 |
| grawity | jackd: Windows' NTFS is also shown as "HPFS/NTFS", by the way | 17:13 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, i see the problem... the other program would be better? | 17:13 |

| JenniferB | how can I see the task manager ? | 17:14 |
| jackd | grawity: yep. but it was usually enough info for me to know which fs it is :) | 17:14 |

| ubuntizer | <microtech> Ya, exactly. It's moody..sometimes it open and sometimes i have to keep on trying for 5-6 times reloading. | 17:14 |
| sheep | JenniferB: try system > administration > system monitor | 17:14 |
| grawity | JenniferB: The application you want might be in a different screen session - type 'screen -ls' | 17:14 |

| nsahoo | can anyof you? | 17:15 |

| jemark | Kingsy101, yes, vino is in Ubuntu | 17:15 |

| speedhunt3r | Is there anyway I can scan my windows parition for spyware? I can't browse the net in windows so the antivirus can't update...in linux i can so i know its not the cable or nothing like that | 17:17 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - its installed already I think, but I don't know what it is or how to use it | 17:17 |
| Kingsy101 | well synaptic says its installed | 17:17 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, I have only 1 laptop with linux... so, you can't test it with me | 17:18 |
| microtech | ubuntizer: I wouldn't be surprised if it was something to do with the propreitary drivers / your wireless modem. I use all google services on multiple linux boxes and they are all fine. It definitely sounds like you are dropping packets or something along those lines. All other sites work fine? | 17:18 |
| Kingsy101 | ok... | 17:18 |
| panfist | what's the difference between ssh RSAauthentication and pubkeyauthentication | 17:18 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - what should I do ? | 17:18 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, you can go to "system" - "preference" - "remote desktop" to change the settings | 17:19 |
| ubuntizer | <microtech> Yea, its quite weird.. I cant seem to know where the problem lies. Moreover, every other site works properly. | 17:19 |
| Kingsy101 | yea it says | 17:19 |
| Kingsy101 | Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.0.11 , mexico.local. | 17:19 |
| Kingsy101 | does that matter ? | 17:19 |
| Kingsy101 | mexico is the name of my PC btw | 17:19 |
| Kingsy101 | 192.168.0.11 is local, so thats no good really | 17:20 |
| microtech | ubuntizer: that is extremely strange | 17:20 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, do you see the option "configure network automatically to accept connections" ? | 17:20 |
| Kingsy101 | yep | 17:20 |
| grawity | panfist: RSAAuthentication (in SSH 1) and HostbasedAuthentication (in SSH 2) also use public keys, but they are based on client trust. That is, if you set up hostbased auth to a server from a computer, any user on that computer can use his own account on the server, without password. | 17:20 |
| n8tuser | mister_blood-> look around you /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net* | 17:20 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, when you select that, then you can also access the pc from outside... | 17:20 |
| Kingsy101 | ah right I see | 17:21 |
| Kingsy101 | ok 1 sec | 17:21 |
| ubuntizer | <microtech> yea. i even tried cleaning up cookies, if it had anything to do..but nothing happens...Weird :P | 17:21 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, ok | 17:21 |
| SirTopHat_ | http://pastebin.com/d34d27578 look at this, I'm trying to install openssh-server, it tells me it needs openssh-client installed first because it's a "dependency", and yet when I go to install openssh-client it's already there | 17:21 |
| bluequijote | nobody help me? | 17:21 |
| microtech | ubuntizer: the fact that its on multiple browsers definitely would indicate its a connectivity issue. I dont know much about weave dialing / wireless modems | 17:21 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - ok I have set it up now, how would you connect to it ? | 17:21 |
| rprague | anyone have an idea why my crond would hang indefinately on boot? haven't made any changes other than running the normal updates. | 17:21 |
| mister_blood | n8tuser: that's the file that i edited | 17:21 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, my "internet" ip address is shown there when I select it. | 17:21 |
| panfist | i'm trying to puse pubkey authentication from an ubuntu client to an ubuntu openssh server. i have the sshd_config set to pubkeyauthentication yes. i generated a key, copied it to my client, tried to connect and it says no supported authentication methods available | 17:22 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, sure, what's your ip? | 17:22 |
| n8tuser | mister_blood-> look around you /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.* | 17:22 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, u can PM it. | 17:22 |
| ubuntizer | <microtech>I think you are correct. do you know any other way to connect to internet without using wvdial ? | 17:22 |
| microtech | well if you had a standard ethernet / wireless connection you'd be fie | 17:22 |
| microtech | fine | 17:22 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - you see this is the thing, if I give you my IP address then yea you might be able to connect, but what would happen if I was using another computer on the same network to connect to it, that would mean I would be connecting to myself wouldnt it ? | 17:23 |
| edbian | How can you delete a file that NOBODY (not even root) has write permissions on? | 17:23 |
| worm | Hello, I've downloaded the new firefox 3.5.1 from the mozilla website and decompressed it to my home directory. Why do I loose the flash plugin ? | 17:23 |
| SirTopHat_ | this is madness, I haven't gotten a single answer for anything in here | 17:23 |
| n8tuser | edbian-> man lsattr | 17:23 |
| Kingsy101 | or for example if I had vnc running on my vista PC and ubuntu when i go to connect using my IP address how would it know which vnc to connect to ? | 17:23 |
| grawity | edbian: root always has write permissions. The file might have 'immutable' or 'append-only' flag though; check lsattr output | 17:23 |
| ubuntizer | <edbian> maybe, you can give write permission to that file using root and then delete it ? *newbie here* | 17:23 |
| rprague | SirTopHat_, I'm with you there. Not sure how to phrase a question so people can answer it | 17:24 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, i see. let's look into it... it think vncviewer ipadres:localname ? | 17:24 |
| sheep | SirTopHat_: it looks like you have a newer version of openssh-client than what that openssh-server package supports | 17:24 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - sorry I don't follow | 17:24 |
| tdoris | c | 17:24 |
| edbian | ubuntizer: I can't because root doesn't have write permissions :P | 17:24 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, i will try with myself :) | 17:25 |
| edbian | n8tuser: Thank you! | 17:25 |
| Kingsy101 | cool :) | 17:25 |
| ubuntizer | <edbian> ah :P | 17:25 |
| SirTopHat_ | why in the world would they have it like that that's completely asinine | 17:25 |
| sheep | SirTopHat_: where are you installing the packages from? | 17:25 |
| danl | what would cause killall to give me command not found, and how do I install it? | 17:26 |
| SirTopHat_ | nevermind I got it working | 17:26 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, i have no idea if this is possible... ;( | 17:26 |
| rprague | anyone have an idea why my crond would hang indefinately on boot? haven't made any changes other than running the normal updates. | 17:26 |
| ubuntizer | Anybody know a alternative for wvdial ? :-) | 17:26 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - thats what I mean, i need a nice application that does it for you by assigning ID's and using a net connection | 17:26 |
| sheep | danl: it might be in the psmisc package | 17:27 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi I need help , I am not able to view a my hard disk drive.Even when I click umount , I am getting error | 17:27 |
| JenniferB | thanks guys .. i feel much better now :) | 17:27 |
| ubuntunewbie | System policy prevents unmounting media mounted by other users | 17:27 |
| Kingsy101 | TeamViewer was PERFECT but it doesnt working correctly in WINE | 17:27 |
| grawity | danl: Using 'pkill' is preferred (as on some distros, killall kills _every_ process). If you still want 'killall', it is in the 'psmisc' paskage. | 17:27 |
| pepperjack | danl also maybe something messed up in your path? | 17:27 |
| grawity | package* | 17:27 |
| ubuntizer | Anybody know a alternative for wvdial ? :-) | 17:27 |
| grawity | danl: And it's in /usr/bin/killall by default. | 17:27 |
| fabio_ | #bitefight.br | 17:27 |

| grawity | fabio_: /join #bitefight.br | 17:27 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, maybe this? http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi | 17:28 |
| ctmjr | danl: did you use sudo killall? | 17:28 |
| JenniferB | the purpose of this is to run an website.. and I am so unfamiliar with the console .. so I was thinking about installing gnome.. but was wondering if this could have great performance cuts.. or it's perhaps not that important ? | 17:28 |
| sonism | ubuntunewbie: try to umount it using sudo | 17:28 |
| ubuntizer | Anybody knows a alternative for wvdial ? :-) | 17:28 |
| fabio_ | join | 17:28 |
| danl | and ctmjr, i am logged in as root, no need too :-) | 17:28 |
| ubuntunewbie | sonism: yep maybe possible ,but I can't access the drive at all | 17:28 |
| n8tuser | ubuntizer-> you have google for alternatives yet? | 17:28 |
| fabio_ | join #ikariam.pt | 17:29 |
| mneptok | JenniferB: a desktop environment is not desirable on a server, as it introduces more software, and thus more potential security holes. | 17:29 |
| pepperjack | JenniferB: there is no reason you would need to keep gnome up once you have your server setup. if its your first real linux setup id recommend gui | 17:29 |
| grawity | fabio_: You need the / sign before it. | 17:29 |
| ubuntunewbie | The folder contents could not be displayed.You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "LOCAL DISK". | 17:29 |
| sonism | ubuntunewbie: what do you mean? | 17:29 |
| ubuntunewbie | sonism: I am the only user | 17:29 |
| ubuntunewbie | sonism: I am the only user , but once I click the drive it said permission or something | 17:29 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - perhaps. it looks pretty complex tho | 17:29 |

| sonism | ubuntunewbie: check your fstab, may be the mount option prevent you to do so. try to umount it from terminal using sudo, and mount it back | 17:31 |
| Kingsy101 | + I don't really have a clue how to set that up | 17:31 |
| n8tuser | ubuntizer-> look into kppp or pppconfig perhaps | 17:31 |
| edbian | bluequijote: First pastebin "fdisk -l" for me so I know what we're working with. Then explain what which one's you're trying to "hide" ? | 17:31 |
| edbian | :) | 17:31 |
| Sj4lut_ | If I install one program under one account. Will this program be present in another account? If not how can I do it? | 17:32 |
| ubuntizer | <n8tuser> Thanks :-) | 17:32 |

| jemark | Kingsy101, yep... well did you try vnc with the one pc you have? | 17:32 |
| grawity | Sj4lut_: Usually, programs are installed system-wide. | 17:32 |
| Sj4lut_ | grawity: ok cool | 17:32 |
| Kingsy101 | jemark - nope.. I don't really see the point | 17:32 |
| grawity | Sj4lut_: Are you using Synaptic, or Add/Remove Programs, or compiling the program yourself? | 17:32 |
| bluequijote | ok edbian | 17:32 |
| remi | is it possible to define the default permissions for the newly created files in a directory? | 17:32 |
| edbian | ubuntunewbie: Go to /media and find out which folder in there holds the partition in question :) | 17:32 |

| sonism | ubuntunewbie: hmmm... just skip it if you don't know what to do with it for now. try umount, and then re-mount it back from terminal | 17:33 |
| jemark | Kingsy101, so you like to connect to more PC's in your network from outside with a Vista pc, right? | 17:33 |

| ubuntunewbie | sonism: how to umount using sudo ? | 17:34 |
| grawity | Sj4lut_: apt is system-wide. (apt-get, aptitude, Synaptic and Add/Remove all use the 'apt' system.) | 17:34 |

| AaronT1 | unperson: it won't sync with the ipod touch | 18:22 |
| SirTopHat | how do I install perl-base 5.8.7-10? I'vr tried it in apt-get but I can't get it | 18:22 |
| unperson | AaronT1, I see. | 18:22 |
| ubuntunewbie | edbian : sorry I was away just now | 18:23 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: How are you trying? | 18:23 |
| hackel | Argh, why is it so bloody hard to keep packages.ubuntu.com up?!? | 18:23 |
| ubuntunewbie | edbian : how much ram are you using ? is it works well running with 1GB of ram ? | 18:23 |
| AaronT1 | unperson: that itunes release is 7.6, and the latest is 8.2.1 | 18:23 |
| SirTopHat | apt-get install perl-base5.8.7-10 | 18:24 |
| fccf | SirTopHat: what version of ubuntu? | 18:24 |
| unperson | AaronT1, I guess I'll need to find out the specific iPod version she has and see what iTunes versions it's even compatible with. | 18:24 |
| SirTopHat | I've tried many other varients | 18:24 |
| SirTopHat | hm how do I tell my version | 18:24 |
| janisoza1r | worm: ok, i thought you downloaded ia32 version | 18:24 |
| janisoza1r | worm: anyway, it's ".firefox" | 18:24 |
| airtonix | anyone else using latest chromium and able to get it to honour proxy settings in gconf? | 18:24 |
| janisoza1r | worm: i think you can use ctrl-h in nautilus to make show hidden files | 18:24 |
| unperson | AaronT1, Yeah, I knew it wasn't the newest version, but I wasn't sure if that would be a problem. Not being an iPod owner, those are the details I have no idea about, so it's good I asked. :-) | 18:24 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: The package name doesn't include the version number. just sudo apg-et install perl-base | 18:24 |
| AaronT1 | unperson: :) | 18:25 |
| SirTopHat | Pici, I'm tyring to install irssi and that one specific version is the only one supported, it's a "dependency" and the version I have it too new apparently | 18:25 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 18:25 |
| SirTopHat | how do I tell? | 18:26 |
| stercor | grawity: It seems as though they're hooked up. | 18:26 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: lsb_release -a | 18:26 |
| janisoza1r | SirTopHat: lsb_release | 18:26 |
| airtonix | anyone else using latest chromium and able to get it to honour proxy settings in gconf? | 18:26 |
| SirTopHat | I'm not at the actual PC right now, just a ssh terminal | 18:26 |
| SirTopHat | ok | 18:26 |
| SirTopHat | 9.04 | 18:26 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: Why not install irssi from the repositories then? | 18:26 |
| worm | janisoza1r, should I put the libflashplayer.so file directly into ~/.firefox ? Not into a sub-directory ? | 18:26 |
| SirTopHat | how would I do that | 18:26 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: sudo apt-get install irssi | 18:27 |
| SirTopHat | I've... | 18:27 |
| SirTopHat | er | 18:27 |
| worm | janisoza1r, I also have a ~/.mozilla directory...that's odd | 18:27 |
| SirTopHat | I did that already then it said it had unmet dependencies for some perl thing. I tried installing that and that had unmet dependencies for this one version of perl-base | 18:27 |
| SirTopHat | why can't it just install the unmet dependencies by itself? | 18:27 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: It should. Sounds like theres some inconsistancies with your repositories. | 18:28 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: Can you do the following: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 18:28 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: Then: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:28 |
| janisoza1r | worm: ~/.firefox/plugins | 18:28 |
| SirTopHat | can't find the package pastebinit | 18:29 |
| janisoza1r | SirTopHat: apt-cache search pastebin | 18:29 |
| SirTopHat | did you mean webboard | 18:30 |
| LordLandon | janisoza1r: sprunge.us | 18:30 |
| Pici | SirTopHat: Sounds like your /etc/apt/sources.list file does not have some of the repositories enabled. | 18:30 |
| janisoza1r | LordLandon: why me? | 18:30 |
| LordLandon | janisoza1r: http://sprunge.us | 18:30 |
| fiocinino | hello i have a problem bluetooth help me please | 18:30 |
| janisoza1r | LordLandon: why me? | 18:30 |
| SirTopHat | this SSH client doesn't support copying or pasting I think | 18:30 |
| worm | janisoza1r, still nothing | 18:30 |
| LordLandon | janisoza1r: no pastebininit. | 18:31 |
| SirTopHat | ok whatever, I'm not wasting my day with this. some other day | 18:31 |
| worm | janisoza1r, dropped libflashplayer.so into ~/.firefox/plugins | 18:31 |
| fiocinino | Can't connect RFCOMM socket connection refused | 18:31 |

| janisoza1r | worm: locate says, that this files in my system resides here: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 18:33 |
| albano | clear | 18:33 |
| janisoza1r | worm: which i guess would explain why it also works in opera, i think, as i was recently wondering. | 18:33 |
| worm | janisoza1r, well I guess you're using the firefox 3.0.12 from the repositories ? | 18:33 |
| janisoza1r | worm: tbh i don't know | 18:34 |
| janisoza1r | worm: wait a sec, i'll go and check | 18:34 |
| mechtech | Well...how goes the battle today? | 18:34 |
| janisoza1r | worm: it's 3.5.1 | 18:34 |
| imam | anybody knows how to add d4x in opera? | 18:35 |
| worm | janisoza1r, you installed the package firefox-3.5 or firefox ? Because in my case i've downloaded the binaries from the mozilla website | 18:35 |
| janisoza1r | worm: oh, i guess you should've not | 18:35 |
| janisoza1r | !firefox-3.5 | worm | 18:35 |
| ubottu | worm: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 18:35 |
| janisoza1r | imam: d4x? | 18:36 |
| AaronT1 | to install firefox3.5 to the newst version i'd use ubuntuzilla | 18:36 |
| anonymous | lol | 18:36 |
| janisoza1r | worm: if you want to stay with your current binaries, then you should find it's installation dir (probably /opt/bin/firefox or sth like that) and put it in plugins dir over there | 18:37 |
| AaronT1 | search for ubuntuzilla on sourceforge | 18:37 |
| imam | webdownloader for x | 18:37 |
| ideamonk | is iceweasel/icecat available for ubuntu ? i used it on debian lenny and iceweasel worked faster and smoother than firefox 3.0.x on my ubuntu 9.04 | 18:38 |
| Guest53506 | n8tuser -> next commands helped me: sudo passwd && su && ulimit -n 2048 )))) | 18:38 |
| grawity | ideamonk: Isn't IceWeasel basically Firefox with a different name? | 18:38 |
| grawity | ideamonk: There aren't any other differences, AFAIK. | 18:38 |
| mechtech | ideamonk: I KNOW it's available for Debian, and since Ubuntu is just a derivative, I would lean toward yes...but not sure on that | 18:39 |
| janisoza1r | ideamonk: are you sure iceweasel is actully something different from firefox? | 18:39 |
| worm | janisoza1r, the installation dir is ~/firefox (extracted it from the tar file). I've tried to drop the plugin into ~/firefox/plugins but it didn't work, that's strange i know :( | 18:39 |
| janisoza1r | ideamonk: like in firefox without branding? | 18:39 |
| ideamonk | grawity, yeah, i thought iceweasel was more compatible with linux ! | 18:39 |
| fiver22 | imam: you can get d4x from Synaptic Package Manager. Is that what you wanted? | 18:39 |
| grawity | ideamonk: IceWeasel is only Firefox minus the logo. | 18:40 |
| ideamonk | janisoza1r, hmm i think its not different, but dunno why i had a nice experience with it | 18:40 |
| mechtech | fire is to ice as weasel is to fox?? LOL | 18:40 |
| janisoza1r | worm: well, you can still try ~/.mozilla, beyond that i can't help you | 18:40 |

| worm | janisoza1r, what do you think about Chromium btw ? Does it support flash player ? | 18:46 |
| janisoza1r | worm: unofficially, yes | 18:46 |

| janisoza1r | worm: technically not | 18:47 |
| daveletourneau | fiocinino: I have the same model and never had problem with my bluetooth gps and mouse | 18:47 |
| janisoza1r | worm: although google uses chromium as their base technology | 18:47 |
| janisoza1r | worm: but these are 2 different browsers | 18:48 |
| jlogic | www.google.com | 18:48 |
| janisoza1r | worm: i haven't used chromium for quite some time now, but google-chrome is nice | 18:48 |

| worm | I'm just looking for a browser that displays pages smoother and faster than firefox3.0.12 (firefox 3.5.1 does it) and which supports flash player too, that's quite simple actually :| | 18:49 |
| fanec75m | thanks mechtech | 18:49 |
| janisoza1r | worm: go for ff3.5 | 18:50 |
| worm | janisoza1r, the problem with the "shirekoto" thing is that there are a few websites which does not recognize it as "firefox" so you can't access to some functions...that's pretty annoying for me | 18:51 |
| daveletourneau | fiocinino: hmm, ok. So, can you confirm that the os is up to date, the bluetooth icon appears in the tray and you can see your gps in the detected bluetooth device list? | 18:51 |
| janisoza1r | worm: well, you can change useragnet in about:config | 18:51 |
| worm | janisoza1r, ok i'll give it a try then, brb | 18:52 |
| daveletourneau | I had some problem initially with Ubuntu 9.04. The bluetooth stack was broken at first | 18:52 |
| janisoza1r | also there might be some explanation how to switch to firefox in ubottu's !firefox-3.5 | 18:52 |
| ptn107 | worm: you can use the user agent switcher to change 'shiretoko' to 'firefox' (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59) | 18:52 |
| fiocinino | <daveletourneau> yes | 18:52 |

| janisoza1r | !grub | lomez | 18:59 |
| ubottu | lomez: 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 | 18:59 |

| AaronT1 | i hibernated earlier today, but it hung with a black screen, it did it before on my old comp | 19:12 |
| th0r | jonex_: do you get the login screen and then it hangs when you try to login, or does it hang before the login screen appears? | 19:12 |
| kroson | ive been trying to use karmic since alpha2, but my wireless is not working | 19:12 |
| mechtech | hetor: I thought earlier you said your filesystem was intact...sorry...my son is restless in my arms need to put him to sleep...brb | 19:12 |
| kroson | it is a 3945abg intel wireless card | 19:12 |
| Pici | kroson: Karmic support and discussion is in #ubuntu+1 | 19:12 |
| kroson | i think the new version of the driver broke it | 19:12 |
| kroson | any solution as of now? | 19:12 |
| zopiac | my Rock Band USB Microphone shows up just as "USB Audio" in my Sound Preferences. It used to say Logitech USB Microphone, but now it shows this and doesn't work properly. Can anyone help me fix this? | 19:12 |
| kroson | ah ok | 19:12 |

| janisozaur | Bash_: ext3, maybe even ext4 | 19:47 |
| coz_ | Jordanmota, no problem | 19:47 |
| Bash_ | Will be used as a storage device | 19:47 |
| mechtech | Bash: ext3 | 19:48 |
| Bash_ | janisozaur: ext4 easy to get working in mac/windows as well? | 19:48 |
| otacon1221 | janisozaur, would Ubuntu run on ext4? | 19:48 |
| janisozaur | not quite yet | 19:48 |
| janisozaur | otacon1221: 9.04 defaults to ext4 i think | 19:48 |
| Bash_ | What are the advantages of ext4 vs ext3? | 19:48 |
| janisozaur | otacon1221: 9.10 surely will | 19:48 |
| AaronT1 | otacon1221: ubuntu does work on ext4 | 19:48 |
| moustafaza | mechtech, I can't do that. The error I pasted comes out when I use sudo | 19:48 |
| otacon1221 | Ubuntu 9.04 defaults to ext3 | 19:48 |
| janisozaur | Bash_: if you want to use ext2ifs or other such project be warned | 19:48 |
| Bash_ | janisozaur: What's their problem? | 19:49 |
| janisozaur | Bash_: you have to manually set inode size to 128 | 19:49 |
| mechtech | moustafaza: when you sudo anything? | 19:49 |
| Bash_ | With ext4 | 19:49 |
| Bash_ | ? | 19:49 |
| otacon1221 | Aaron, would those specs be enough to run all those server services and still be able to provide maximum bandwidth? | 19:49 |
| moustafaza | mechtech, when I use sudo, to uninstall a program I write "sudo apt-get remove" | 19:49 |
| janisozaur | Bash_: ext4 had had some... issues... | 19:49 |
| fizzle | hey all, i'm having some trouble with getting my Belkin FD7050 v1000 wireless card working in Jaunty. specifically, i've installed the rt73 driver but my wireless connection doesn't show up after "ifconfig -a" | 19:49 |
| Bash_ | :P | 19:49 |
| janisozaur | Bash_: it used to corrupt your data | 19:49 |
| vital_ | moustafaza, try "su" then "apt-get remove ..." | 19:49 |
| Bash_ | So, I'll just pick ext3 | 19:49 |
| Bash_ | I don't need anything fancy really... Just something to store some music and TV shows mainly | 19:50 |
| moustafaza | vital_, same error | 19:50 |
| janisozaur | Bash_: it's best option for interop | 19:50 |
| Bash_ | Will backup some photos there etc | 19:50 |
| AaronT1 | otacon1221: i dont know, id ask someone else, but it should be enough, | 19:50 |
| vital_ | moustafaza, you can run system in single user mode | 19:50 |
| Bash_ | Mainly will be using it on OSX and linux | 19:50 |
| Bash_ | So ext3, here I go (: | 19:50 |
| janisozaur | Bash_: i use ext2ifs on windows, dont know what kind of support for ext file systems you can get on mac | 19:51 |
| moustafaza | vital_, I don't get you. | 19:51 |
| Bash_ | I'd guess quite ok | 19:51 |
| Bash_ | But, we'll see soon | 19:51 |
| AaronT1 | otacon1221: i'm on ubuntu 9.04 with ext4 | 19:51 |
| fiber_cut | Is there anyway to take a media file such as a *.flv and turn it into your screen saver? Under KDE there was a program kdesktop I think that used to let you do it but was wonder if anything under gnome | 19:51 |
| moustafaza | vital_, I get an error when ever I use sudo or su | 19:51 |
| moustafaza | vital_, same one. | 19:51 |
| vital_ | moustafaza, you can try reboot and take single user mode from the grub menu | 19:51 |

| moustafaza | vital_, i'll check it out. thanks | 19:52 |
| vital_ | moustafaza, it can be named "recovery mode" | 19:52 |
| moustafaza | vital_, ah, ok | 19:52 |
| mechtech | moustafaza: yes: sudo apt-get remove <application name> to uninstall | 19:52 |
| janisozaur | Gruppe4: only english here, to learn what channel uses your language type "!" and your countro iso code, e.g. !pl | 19:53 |

| mechtech | moustafaza: I think you might have hosed your authentication abilities when you removed all your PAM files...specifically /etc/pam.conf | 19:55 |
| moustafaza | mechtech, ya I did that but after I removed all the PAM packages. | 19:56 |

| sigmonsays | Hello. I am fighting ubuntu scripts cause it thinks it knows what it's doing. Can I disable NetworkManager nicely? | 19:59 |
| pepperjack | otacon1221: if you search ubuntuforums.org for tmobile and your phone model you will probably find a walkthrough for it from someone that has gotten it working | 19:59 |
| moustafaza | mechtech, np | 19:59 |
| daveletourneau | otacon1221: Data only is what you need. | 19:59 |
| WindowsUser | sigmonsays: uninstall it from synaptic or try like apt-get remove NetworkManager | 20:00 |
| pepperjack | ltcabral: hostname command once ssh'd in | 20:00 |

| saml | how can I find open ports and programmings listening to them? | 20:01 |
| craigwell | which uses stepped processor speeds under xp | 20:01 |
| pepperjack | sigmonsays: or just sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/scriptname and then +x to make it executable again | 20:01 |
| craigwell | is there an equivalent for ubuntu or is it already controlled dynamically by OS >? | 20:01 |
| WindowsUser | saml: look at nmap.org | 20:02 |

| vital_ | samitheberber, "sudo netstat -ap" | 20:02 |
| saml | thanks vital_ | 20:02 |
| meteor`` | i installed a software bt i cant find it anywhere | 20:02 |
| WindowsUser | netstat tells you whats open on the local computer, nmap is for other computers | 20:02 |
| pepperjack | meteor``: what app? | 20:03 |
| meteor`` | where r the softwares installed | 20:03 |
| Youm | hey guys | 20:03 |

| craigwell | is there an ubuntu equivalent for centrino speed stepping utilities as found in xp ? | 20:04 |
| Server_Side | how can i extract rar files on ubuntu? | 20:04 |
| mechtech | Server_Side: unrar | 20:04 |
| pepperjack | meteor``: it should ideally show up in the menu... try from a terminal: pkill gnome-panel the panel should then respawn. if it still doesnt show up try launching it from the terminal typing trix or Trix and hitting tab key to auto complete | 20:04 |
| pepperjack | !rar | Server_Side | 20:04 |
| ubottu | Server_Side: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 20:04 |
| pepperjack | Server_Side: basically sudo apt-get install unrar; unrar e file.rar or unrar e *.r00 for multipart files | 20:05 |
| otacon1221 | Would chat rooms and VoIP fall under the acceptable use side of the terms? | 20:05 |
| maximumbob | I have two ubuntu partitions on the same machine. I want to make one so that it can't be mounted on the other, or at least be able to only be mounted read-only. But are there any measures I can do to 'hide' the partition, or at least require some trickery to get it mounted? | 20:05 |
| Server_Side | pepperjack: isnt it gui? | 20:05 |
| maximumbob | Forgot a sentence: "I know it's not possible without encryption to totally prevent it, but..." | 20:06 |
| pepperjack | Server_Side: yes the archive manager or whatever gui tool gnome uses once you install unrar should automatically support it too. so just double-click id think | 20:06 |
| daveletourneau | otacon1221: Ok, but thats the term of service. That doesn't mean that they technically prevent you of doing so. VOIP is probably one of the thing they really dont want :) | 20:06 |
| iceroot | maximumbob: no, only with encryption | 20:06 |
| Pici | otacon1221: You should ask your provider, this isn't really an Ubuntu question. | 20:06 |
| daveletourneau | otacon1221: not a technical question. Ask your provider | 20:07 |
| daveletourneau | otacon1221: but don't bother talking about VOIP ;) | 20:07 |

| Nameless_au | has anyone here ever installed moodle? | 20:15 |
| wrektjet | SteveHill, select one file/ all files? i tried doing all (opening with archive manager) and they all opened and i tried one and only that one extracted. | 20:16 |
| SteveHill | erythrocyte: I can't give it all to you, but the trick is to tar it to file "-" (no quotes) and then pipe it to mkisofs. The - sends it to stdout, I believe. | 20:17 |
| Pici | SteveHill: Looks like you're missing at least the jaunty-updates repository. If you enable that and then do a dist-upgrade (or just do a dist-upgrade if you already have it enabled) and you should update to -13 | 20:17 |

| SteveHill | erythrocyte: Without looking at the man page for tar, it looks correct. I can't remember if your tarball would contain sampledir/* or just *. There is an option to make it do whichever you want. | 20:27 |
| pepperjack | bountin: yes this is possible. i would suggest though you consider using a dedicated box for your tv. for instance popcornhour is a great little product for HD video | 20:27 |

| Antisthenes | There are a lot of times that my Ubuntu 9.04 freezes. Only the mouse is able to move but it cannot interact with the desktop. This happens usually for various reasons, like at a site with a lot o flash, when I try open pidgin or when I choose some options on GIMP. Does anybody knows what's the matter? | 20:50 |

| JenniferB | I have a screen session that is runnin an application and I can switch to the that screen but can't stop the application as I usually can with ctrl+c .. what am I missing? | 20:51 |
| janisozaur | JenniferB: screen probably captures that | 20:51 |
| Sebboh | JenniferB, doesn't sound like a screen issue; screen doesn't capture ctrl+c. Oh, maybe you mashed XOFF before... check the screen help for the XON/XOFF keys.. I think it's ctrl+a,a and ctrl+a,q. | 20:53 |
| maximumbob | My comp already had a windows and ubuntu partition, as well as ubuntu's /boot. I installed another instance of ubuntu using the option to resize the other ubuntu partition in the installer. However, now my system boots into the new partition rather than to the first install's /boot partition. I added to my old /boot/grub/menu.lst the new install, but how do I safely make it boot to the boot partition? | 20:53 |
| ctmjr | Sebboh: there is a karmic channel #ubuntu+1 i believe | 20:54 |
| trashbarg | maximumbob, you have to add your old section to the mew file | 20:54 |
| trashbarg | *new | 20:54 |
| maximumbob | trashbarg: So I can't boot to my boot partition any more? | 20:54 |
| parsimoniae | Sebboh: ifconfig wlan0 up, iwlist wlan0 scan, iwconfig wlan0 essid "Essid" | 20:54 |
| JenniferB | I killed it somehow.. not sure how exactly .. perhaps it was ctrl + q | 20:54 |
| maximumbob | But I'll have to add a root: directive, won't I? Since the other kernels are on a separate partition? | 20:55 |
| Sebboh | ctmjr, yeah asking there now. Although, I suppose that my question isn't -- ah, parsimoniae, thanks. | 20:55 |
| maximumbob | JenniferB: you might have hit ctrl+s? That stops everything on that terminal and ctrl+q releases. | 20:55 |
| Sebboh | JenniferB, yeah, what maximumbob said, but remember with screen that you might have to use ctrl+a,s and ctrl+a,q rather than just ctrl+s and ctrl+q. | 20:56 |

| trashbarg | maximumbot, as the ubuntu installer re-installed grub, grub is now using the configuration file on the new partition. so if you want to add your old partition to the boot selection, you have to add the old section to the new file on your new partition | 20:58 |
| maximumbob | If so, do I have to add root: directives? | 20:58 |

| ubuntu-usr | trashbarg: xserver 1.6 in ubuntu 9.04 is not compatible with nvidia's legacy driver | 21:38 |
| riyazd | hi I'm new to ubuntu and can't seem to get my belkin wireless card working, FD8010 - any suggestions | 21:38 |
| trayzz | Trijntje: i created a file called .conky_start.sh containing the command " | 21:38 |
| trayzz | #!/bin/bash | 21:38 |
| trayzz | sleep 10 && conky;" | 21:38 |
| kermos | Ubuntufan--: sudo chown username:group -R /media/extdrive | 21:38 |
| kermos | where username obviously is your username | 21:38 |
| lilcoconut | so there isnt any antivirus program? and why dont i need any? | 21:38 |
| kermos | group obviously is the group your username is in (usually the same on a standard install as your username) | 21:38 |
| Ubuntufan-- | kermos: ok thanks trying that | 21:39 |
| danbhfive | lilcoconut: there is info about that on the linked page | 21:39 |
| kermos | and /media/extdrive the path to your mounted drive | 21:39 |
| albano | Lol the virus maybe cannot find dependencies on your pc | 21:39 |
| jiohdi | lilcoconut, there is rootkit hunter | 21:39 |
| Trijntje | trayzz: i think that should work | 21:39 |
| Joe-needs-help | lilcoconut - there is an antivirus system but only if your transferring files from windows or downloading off illegal things but YOU DO NOT NEED ANTIVIRUS | 21:39 |
| trashbarg | ubuntu-usr, i cant check that as i dont use ubuntu, but if there is a package, it should be compatible? | 21:39 |
| jiohdi | which claims that it will get 99% of all problems | 21:39 |
| trayzz | Trijntje: should i add it to my startup apps as well? | 21:40 |
| Joe-needs-help | LILCOCONUT - YOUD HAVE TO BE STUPID TO GET A VIRUS ON UBUNTU | 21:40 |
| Joe-needs-help | sorry for caps btw | 21:40 |
| === NCommander is now known as Guest77821 | ||
| lilcoconut | oh ok.. lol..thx.. good to know that :D | 21:40 |
| Trijntje | trayzz: yes | 21:40 |
| lilcoconut | thx everyone.. bye | 21:40 |
| ubuntu-usr | how to downgrade xserver in ubuntu? the goal is to install legacy nvidia driver | 21:40 |
| jiohdi | there is a site claiming that viruses for linux are out there... but they are not as bad as windows | 21:40 |
| trayzz | Trijntje: is the command "/home/trayzz/.conky_start.sh" correct to start it up? | 21:41 |
| ubuntu-usr | trashbarg: which one package? | 21:41 |
| trashbarg | ubuntu-usr, can you list each nvidia packages? | 21:42 |
| Trijntje | trayzz: yes, or you can use ~/.conky_start.sh. ~ means /home/trayzz | 21:42 |
| JRSmile | good evening | 21:42 |
| Joe-needs-help | jiohdi - you can get viruses but you have to create them yourself and most viruses on windows are caused by stupid programs and with ubuntu all programs come from add/remove | 21:42 |
| trayzz | Trijntje: like this: "~/.conky_start.sh. ~" ? | 21:42 |
| trayzz | Trijntje: wait wait | 21:42 |
| nisstyre | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Threats | 21:43 |
| trayzz | Trijntje: i got it | 21:43 |
| ubuntu-usr | trashbarg: yes but i don`t know commands very well | 21:43 |
| trayzz | Trijntje: i'll give it a shot, be right back | 21:43 |
| Trijntje | trayzz: ok, good | 21:43 |
| kermos | nisstyre: that is one huge list. I think windows has that many new threats introduced hourly. | 21:43 |
| aklaax | gg | 21:43 |
| Coobra | do fail2ban has a port or do it listen just to the service "ssh" ? | 21:43 |
| JRSmile | ubuntu is nice currently online via umts in a car sponsored by a samsung nc10 and live ubuntu... | 21:44 |
| mechtech | Joe-needs-help: what do you mean, you have to make viruses yourself? | 21:44 |
| Joe-needs-help | mechtech - you can create a virus yourself and then obviously distribute it | 21:44 |
| albano | virus maybe shoud know your pasw to be active. because is dificult to do things without root | 21:44 |
| nisstyre | the trick is getting people to execute code | 21:45 |
| Joe-needs-help | there are ways of creating viruses but you have to be a *beep* to do so | 21:45 |
| nisstyre | Don't execute code from people you don't trust | 21:45 |
| Tophu | if I'm running ubuntu 9.04 is it a bad idea to try to update my kernel to 2.6.30? | 21:45 |
| mechtech | joe-needs-help: I knew that, I thought you meant in order to get infected you would have to make one yourself =) | 21:45 |
| Purpley | hey guys | 21:45 |
| Coobra | is there a fail2ban dude/girl here | 21:45 |
| Purpley | Does anyone know of a program that scans proxies and makes sure they are anonymous | 21:45 |
| Joe-needs-help | mechtech - ahh i get you, yeah another way is like if i gave you a terminal code that was a virus not going to do it like because well im not a *beep* | 21:46 |
| mechtech | albano: I would think a virus like that would have the cpapbility of capturing your usernames and passwds and using them | 21:46 |
| Tophu | anyone here have a touchsmart tx2 or other n-trig equipped tablet? | 21:46 |
| aklaax | hello. How can find channels in spanish | 21:46 |

| XZc | Whats a good operating system to put on a old laptop with 128mb of ram? | 21:47 |
| Purpley | does anyone? | 21:47 |
| trashbarg | ubuntu-usr, how do you know its not compatible? you have to add the restricted repositories and search for nvidia (synaptic). I cant tell you how to do that, but the menus should be self explaining | 21:47 |
| safruhani | !iso | 21:47 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:47 |

| Purpley | argh | 21:48 |
| XZc | i heard puppy was good? | 21:48 |
| Purpley | someone answer my question! | 21:48 |
| Purpley | Does anyone know of a program that scans proxies and makes sure they are anonymous | 21:48 |
| Joe-needs-help | XZc - tiny linux and possibly xp H.E | 21:48 |
| mechtech | XZc: give it a try | 21:48 |

| mechtech | xover: nevermind that | 21:49 |
| juvic | i need help | 21:49 |
| Tophu | @purpley google it ... that is not really an ubuntu related question | 21:49 |
| ubuntu-usr | trashbarg: how to do list it? | 21:49 |
| iceroot | !ask | juvic | 21:49 |
| ubottu | juvic: 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. :-) | 21:49 |
| testing234234 | where can i get the latest developementrelease of ubuntu? | 21:49 |
| Joe-needs-help | purpley - as tophu said | 21:49 |
| Tophu | @testing google ubuntu 9.10 alpha 3 download | 21:50 |
| Joe-needs-help | testingblahblahblah - ubuntu's webpage | 21:50 |
| juvic | how can i insstall the adbo flash cs3 | 21:50 |
| Tophu | but it's a bad idea | 21:50 |
| testing234234 | k | 21:50 |
| trashbarg | ubuntu-usr, you add the restricted repositories and then open synaptic, search for nvidia and post the results | 21:50 |
| Joe-needs-help | juvic - wine ? | 21:50 |
| testing234234 | thx | 21:50 |
| iceroot | !wine | juvic | 21:50 |
| ubottu | juvic: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 21:50 |
| vital_ | Purpley, may be proxychains? | 21:50 |
| trashbarg | !multiverse | 21:50 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 21:50 |
| juvic | yap i have wine | 21:50 |
| Joe-needs-help | juvic - try it through wine | 21:50 |
| juvic | i have to install this in wine | 21:50 |
| juvic | sh winetricks gecko gdiplus msxml3 | 21:51 |
| trayzz | is there any other way of displaying/changing autostart apps than in the the gtk under system? | 21:51 |
| trashbarg | !multiverse > ubuntu-usr | 21:51 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-usr, please see my private message | 21:51 |
| juvic | but it's not openning the setup | 21:51 |
| xover | mechtech: any ideas? | 21:51 |
| Joe-needs-help | juvic - i'm sorry i cannot help you im not frequent with wine | 21:51 |
| Joe-needs-help | xover - what was your problem again ? | 21:51 |
| xover | hey guys, i am trying to install 9.04 on a macbook pro and getting an error message "grub-install fatal error" whats the solution please? | 21:52 |
| dbugger | Can someone help me to configure LyX to use DocBook? Im writing the documentation for an application I've developed and I dont see any Document class that's useful in the default set | 21:52 |
| Joe-needs-help | xover - give me a sec | 21:52 |
| xover | basically the install dies on trying to install grub to the MBR | 21:52 |
| trayzz | i mean there must be a different way of checking what apps are on startup right? | 21:52 |
| mechtech | xover: yeah...maybe you still have hfs+ on the drive? | 21:52 |
| xover | its a new drive | 21:52 |
| mechtech | xover: partitioned? | 21:53 |
| xover | no | 21:53 |
| xover | when i ran the install i choose lvm using full disk | 21:53 |
| Tophu | anyone have an n-trig touch laptop? I've been reading the threads on ubuntuforums.org trying to get my touchsmart tx2's touch input working | 21:53 |
| mechtech | xover: partition the drive first...must be partitioned, you'll need ext3 and a swap partition | 21:53 |
| xover | im using the alternative install and choosing auto layout | 21:54 |
| xover | with encrpytion and and lvm using entire disk | 21:54 |
| xover | then it installs ubuntu and finally dies saying fatal error cant install-grub | 21:54 |
| vital_ | juvic, try to find the answer here http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7120 | 21:55 |
| Joe-needs-help | xover - the first step is to set a freeBSD kernel variable; sysct1 kern.geom.debugflags=16 | 21:55 |
| juvic | ok tnx | 21:55 |
| juvic | w8 | 21:55 |
| mechtech | xover: perhaps the encryption is preventing GRUB from installing correctly to the MBR | 21:55 |
| VCoolio | trayzz: check under ~/.config/autostart | 21:55 |
| xover | mechtech i tried all variations and no cigar | 21:55 |
| erika-chan | hi | 21:55 |
| xover | joe, how do i do this? | 21:56 |
| erika-chan | i need some help | 21:56 |
| Joe-needs-help | xover - the first step is to set a freeBSD kernel variable; sysct1 kern.geom.debugflags=16 | 21:56 |
| mechtech | xover: see joe-needs-help's post | 21:56 |

| BigMao | Hi, I'm a longtime Ubuntu user. My workstation has 4 monitors (2 graphics cards), and when one of them blew out, I upgraded to dual NVidia 9550GT (I had dual NVidia 7300 before). Now I can't use anything but the VESA driver - hrelp? | 21:56 |
| RenardP | hello, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and I want to upgrade my partitions from ext3 to ext4, do you think it is safe ? | 21:56 |
| mechtech | erika-chan: iwconfig | 21:57 |
| iceroot | RenardP: never touch a running system :) | 21:57 |
| erika-chan | ok | 21:57 |
| VCoolio | trayzz: also /etc/xdg/autostart, the apps listed there will start at startup unless you copy them to the user folder and change the autostart line inside them to false | 21:57 |
| CRASHED | if i could get some help here, i installed and setup vnstat and the vnstat web interface so i could get logs of traffic on my site. | 21:57 |
| RenardP | iceroot: what about a new installed one ? | 21:57 |
| iceroot | RenardP: why need ext4? | 21:57 |

| jonex_ | how I install desktop wallpaper? | 21:58 |
| === papapep-afk is now known as papapep | ||
| iceroot | jonex_: right click on desktop, then choose changing background | 21:59 |
| CRASHED | could anyone help me get vnstat working again? | 21:59 |
| jiohdi | jonex, easiest is to web browse to a picture you like and back click it | 21:59 |
| iceroot | jonex_: then choose a image | 21:59 |
| erika-chan | ok iwconfig there ---------------> http://paste.ubuntu.com/235429/ | 21:59 |
| BigMao | pepperjack, the solutions I've found in the forums all point to "Envy", I've tried it and it doesn't seem to help. | 21:59 |
| coyo | anyone know who to talk to about the repos and software updates? or do i roll my own package? | 21:59 |
| jiohdi | jonex, you will get an option to set as wall paper | 21:59 |
| coyo | i was hoping to get the latest version of supybot, which isnt in the repos | 22:00 |
| coyo | thanks | 22:00 |
| vital_ | erika-chan, do you see networks with "iwlist wlan0 scan"? | 22:00 |
| jonex_ | iceroot: but theres is a downloa dthat have more | 22:00 |
| BigMao | Any suggestions? Should I try with only one card? | 22:01 |
| erika-chan | no i dont | 22:01 |
| erika-chan | maybe here there's not any net | 22:02 |
| am0k0815 | is there a virus checker in the package source ? | 22:02 |
| vigo | am0k0815: Yes, there are a few | 22:02 |
| erUSUL | !info clamav | 22:02 |
| ubottu | clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.95.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1.2 (jaunty), package size 262 kB, installed size 488 kB | 22:02 |
| mechtech | erika_chan: based on your previous posts, the power to your wireless card seems to be off | 22:02 |
| vital_ | erika-chan, it is possible cause :-) | 22:02 |
| drakeman | hey man, didnt try ubuntu jaunty jet but the videos on youtube and screnthos looks very very nice, actually im using debian, but ubuntu looks great!!! | 22:03 |
| jonex_ | any Broadcom wireless expert? | 22:03 |
| iceroot | am0k0815: you only need a virus-scanner to check mails on a mailserver and samba-shares. so only for windows clients. for linux you dont need a virus-scanner | 22:03 |

| erika-chan | i gonna go to college to c if i get any network | 22:03 |
| vigo | and iceroot | 22:03 |
| vital_ | erika-chan, at least may be you don't have a net with enough signal level | 22:03 |
| vital_ | you can use iwlist command to scan networks | 22:04 |
| jonex_ | the problem is | 22:04 |
| kapu | can someone point me to a recent tutorial/guide for accessing mysql from perl? Everything I find on Google seems outdated and dosn't work for me. I am having a hard time making a perl script to access mysql on Ubuntu server | 22:04 |
| helo | my hp mini has a marvell 88E8040 pci-e ethernet controller, which works fine with the live thumb drive, but doesn't work on my jaunty-upgraded-from-intrepid install on-disk... | 22:04 |
| jonex_ | my wireless only works for Ubuntu stuf | 22:04 |
| iceroot | kapu: maybe #perl ? | 22:04 |
| magnetron | hi, is ubuntu using any TCP wrapper by default? | 22:04 |
| xim_ | whats the difference between sunjdk and openjdk? can they both be installed simultaneously? | 22:05 |
| iceroot | xim_: the licence | 22:05 |
| erika-chan | i live in a place where wifi networks arent so popular | 22:05 |
| Joe-needs-help | does anyone know how to map a laptop to become a wireless external hdd over a wifi connection ? | 22:06 |
| iceroot | xim_: you only need one | 22:06 |
| iceroot | xim_: but yes, you can install both | 22:06 |
| xim_ | iceroot: ok thanks | 22:06 |
| Joe-needs-help | does anyone know how to map a laptop to become a wireless external hdd over a wifi connection ? | 22:06 |
| mezquitale | Joe-needs-help, you mean you want to share your hard drive wirelessly? | 22:06 |
| HardDisk | fn'erika-chan, the zoo? | 22:06 |
| parsimoniae | joe-needs-help: look into openssl | 22:07 |
| vital_ | erika-chan, you can try "kismet" app to get maximum info about wireless packets around you | 22:07 |
| parsimoniae | and sshfs | 22:07 |
| Joe-needs-help | mexquitale - yeah | 22:07 |
| guereca | hello | 22:07 |
| iceroot | guereca: hi | 22:07 |
| erika-chan | oh cool | 22:07 |
| Joe-needs-help | mezqitale - yeah (sorry spelt your name wrong) | 22:07 |
| pepperjack | Joe-needs-help: easiest solution might be to run ssh server on the lappy and then use sshfs to mount it to a directory | 22:07 |
| erika-chan | lol | 22:07 |
| erika-chan | let's say a farm | 22:07 |
| guereca | ihow u doing iceroot | 22:08 |
| Joe-needs-help | pepperjack - cheers ill give it a shot and tell you how i do | 22:08 |
| parsimoniae | joe-needs-help: or samba if you need access over a windows box, though there is a program for sshfs in windows too | 22:08 |
| mezquitale | Joe-needs-help, what operating system you have in your laptop and what Operatin Systems the machines have that will access your laptop??? | 22:08 |
| mechtech | erika_chan: | 22:08 |
| mechtech | <erika-chan> Power Management:off | 22:08 |
| pepperjack | erika-chan: you need an old sat dish then you can replace the lnb with your antenna. get some range out of that setup | 22:08 |
| erika-chan | rofl | 22:08 |
| Joe-needs-help | mezquitale - the lappy i want to map is on ubuntu 9.04 and the laptop i want to access all my stuff on the other lappy is on ubuntu studio | 22:09 |
| erika-chan | im not that far away lol | 22:09 |
| erika-chan | i got internet but i wanna put a wifi router | 22:09 |
| parsimoniae | joe-needs-help: sshfs will work | 22:09 |
| Joe-needs-help | could i just sudo that ? | 22:10 |
| Joe-needs-help | so like sudo apt-get install sshfs ? | 22:10 |
| mechtech | erika-chan: I recommend either a linksys 802.11n or an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station | 22:10 |
| erika-chan | oh thank you | 22:10 |
| mezquitale | Joe-needs-help, you already got the answer, easiest way is to have SSH server. I have the same setup except the other way around. All my files are in my Desktop. The SSH server is on my desktop and I use unison to synchronize my files, I can do it anywhere, locally or on the internet. | 22:10 |
| LexLuth0r | Have a WinXP which has putty installed, I have logged onto my Ubuntu PC, is it possible to transfer a folder from my Windows PC to Ubuntu via SSH | 22:10 |
| erika-chan | i was thinking in linksys | 22:10 |
| parsimoniae | sudo apt-get install openssl | 22:11 |
| pepperjack | Joe-needs-help: sshfs user@ipaddress:/remotedirectory /mnt/sshfs <-- that might not be exactly right. there is also an allow_other switch you can use for normal users to use it | 22:11 |
| parsimoniae | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS | 22:11 |
| magnetron | LexLuth0r: yes, all you need is a SFTP program. example: WinSCP | 22:11 |
| Trijntje | is 64 bit ubuntu as stable as 32 bits? or are there programs that don't function | 22:11 |
| LexLuth0r | Do I install this on my XP PC | 22:11 |
| parsimoniae | gnomes connect to server works well | 22:11 |
| mechtech | erika-chan: the Aplle has the same capabilities, plus you can share USB print or USB hdd on it, and it's $20 cheaper | 22:11 |
| guereca | The only problem I found in Ubuntu is Java. | 22:12 |
| trayzz | what's the command to open a directory? | 22:12 |
| pepperjack | Trijntje: both are very stable. there are minor things you might encounter in 64 bit. for instance adobe flash is still in alpha or beta stuff like that | 22:12 |
| albdum | hello can some1 help me with a hard disk that doesn't mount on my ubuntu server ? | 22:12 |
| erika-chan | but here at my place is more expensive | 22:12 |
| guereca | Some applet will not work | 22:12 |

| mechtech | erika-chan: either would be excellent...I bought my Apple at the Apple Store | 22:13 |
| pepperjack | albdum: removable HD? | 22:13 |
| mechtech | !ask | cwill | 22:13 |
| ubottu | cwill: 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. :-) | 22:13 |
| albdum | no peper jack :( | 22:13 |
| cwill | i dual boot (installed within xp) how do i find the xp document files | 22:13 |
| cwill | i did not partition | 22:13 |
| pepperjack | albdum: well that isnt good. what does sudo fdisk -l say? (dont paste in the channel of course) | 22:13 |
| vital_ | LexLuth0r, putty should include PSCP - command line file copying utility http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter5.html#pscp | 22:14 |
| mezquitale | albdum, try "sudo blkid" | 22:14 |
| jiohdi | cwill, you will find a drive labelled with your xp machine name | 22:14 |
| trayzz | the strange thing is | 22:14 |
| mechtech | cwill: linux will not run off a drive with no linux partition | 22:14 |
| trayzz | it contains these files | 22:14 |
| trayzz | trayzz@tray:~/.config/autostart$ ls | 22:14 |

| trayzz | but skype pidgin nautilus etc still start | 22:14 |
| maqjj | ola | 22:14 |
| drakeman | ola | 22:15 |
| jiohdi | cwill, open any drive folder and you can find it down the list under computer | 22:15 |
| trayzz | even though they are neither in startup apps folder nor in the system-preferences-autostart thing | 22:15 |
| jiohdi | if its there | 22:15 |
| trayzz | that just doesnt make sense to me | 22:15 |
| mezquitale | albdum, try "sudo blkid" | 22:15 |
| albdum | the problem is on 2 of my 4 sata disks | 22:16 |
| albdum | that i have connected to the pc through a pci-sata | 22:16 |
| Void | why client ubuntuone no connect? | 22:16 |
| albdum | they mount on desktop ubuntu but not on server ubuntu | 22:16 |
| CRASHED | anyone know any nice cpu and bandwidth monitoring tools? | 22:17 |
| cwill | sorry jiohdi not seeing it... | 22:17 |
| VCoolio | trayzz: there is an option at startup apps to remember opened apps on shutdown. Enable that, close all apps, especially pidgin etc, reboot, check if it helps. Don't forget to disable the option again. | 22:17 |
| mechtech | crashed: system monitor | 22:17 |
| trayzz | alright so i've checked that, automaticly remember... is unchecked, skype pidgin and nautilus are not in any of the startup directories (/etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart) but they still start at startup | 22:17 |
| mezquitale | CRASHED, try "System Monitor" | 22:17 |
| mezquitale | mechtech beat me to it LoL | 22:18 |
| mechtech | ha! | 22:18 |
| trayzz | VCoolio: so i should shut them all down once before reboot? | 22:18 |
| VCoolio | trayzz: yeah, just make sure no apps run anymore and reboot with that option checked, so it remembers that nothing was running | 22:19 |
| xiong | i attempt to delete an empty folder in evolution -- the error is 'cannot delete folder "adeleteme"' -- what is the solution? | 22:19 |
| CRASHED | mechtech, im looking for one with a web interface | 22:19 |
| hanasaki | anyone remember the name of the program that makes you enter the root password to "reboot" if you are ssh'ed to a remote box? | 22:19 |
| trayzz | VCoolio: oh, that makes sense | 22:19 |
| cwill | All that i see there is associated with ubuntu | 22:20 |
| vital_ | hanasaki, "sudo" "su" ? | 22:20 |
| msds1502 | How can I remove The GRUB loader from boot and go straight into the Vista loader? | 22:20 |
| mechtech | crashed: oh...ok | 22:20 |

| att0 | I am trying to install Truecrypt by downloading the .tar from the official website. I extract the x86 .deb but when I try to install, it says "Wrong architecture 'i386'". I am not using a 64-bit system. | 22:24 |
| msds1502 | There isn't a section on Removing GRUB. I don't want another system as default. | 22:24 |
| anahata | does ubuntu support all lcd monitors? how do i find out if it will fully support the one i'm about to buy: HP L1506 with ATI Rage Ultra 128 video card | 22:24 |
| albdum | edbian : yes they show there but the sdc1 and sdd1 aren't in /dev althrought the sdc and sdd are | 22:24 |
| network___ | Is it legal to have the download link to ubuntu on another site? | 22:25 |
| Myrtti | network___: why wouldn't it be? | 22:25 |
| edbian | albdum: Odd. There is some issue with your raid array I think. I don't know specifically what though. Suffice to say: Any and all filesystems connected to the machine locally should show up in /dev individually | 22:25 |
| HardDisk | network, ubuntu is free | 22:26 |
| Myrtti | network___: open source software, free to download, modify and redistribute | 22:26 |
| vital_ | msds1502, I think you need something like "fdisk /mbr" executed from win. But be careful! you can lost the possibility boot your system! | 22:26 |
| HardDisk | you can link post banners do whatever you want | 22:26 |
| Myrtti | network___: not only in price | 22:26 |

| msds1502 | losher: Is it possible to go to the Vista loader first? I've used EasyBCD to create NeoGRUB so i can get back to a Ubuntu boot screen | 22:28 |

| jethro | edbian: E: Invalid operation search | 22:30 |
| DaZ | at least in my experience :f | 22:30 |
| Seveas | jethro, try apt-cache search instead of apt-get search | 22:31 |
| edbian | DaZ: Are you saying he doesn't have 4Gb of ram at all, therefore he should just get 32 bit ubuntu? (BTW who are we talking about here :P ? ) | 22:31 |

| Andorin | edbian: It will load on my PC, and I have Flash. But it won't load on my mom's. | 22:35 |
| coyo | okay | 22:35 |
| javagamer | nm, fixed my command | 22:35 |
| losher | coyo: have you found a bug in it? Is that why you're looking for an update? | 22:36 |
| msds1502 | So can I remove GRUB? | 22:36 |
| Andorin | jiohdi: That's sort of what I was thinking, but it sounds a little crazy to just say "The website won't let Linux users access it." | 22:36 |
| coyo | since karmic will be coming out soon, that's not a problem, thanks guys | 22:36 |
| jonex_ | can i use remote desktop out of the LAN??????????/ | 22:36 |
| * coyo hugs | 22:36 | |
| edbian | msds1502: If you remove grub you won't have a boot loader. You need to replace grub if you want to get rid of it. | 22:36 |
| jiohdi | andorin, its true of ms office live, it may be true of others | 22:36 |

| donnybrasco | hey - I would like to remove windows from my computer (currently dual-booting) does anyone know if I can do it without reformatting? | 22:37 |
| DaZ | Andorin, it may be activex related | 22:37 |
| VCoolio | jiohdi: there is an about:config trick in firefox to pretend you're using windows if I remember correctly, could give it a shot | 22:37 |
| coyo | losher: well, a plugin that searches google within irc uses a deprecated feature of google, and the latest version uses a part of google that works | 22:37 |
| edi_x_1 | hi all | 22:37 |
| Andorin | DaZ: She now uses Firefox when she used IE6 before, if that helps. | 22:37 |
| edbian | msds1502: No. "removing grub" would leave nother (no bootloader at all) in the master boot record. Some boot loader needs to be there for any of your OS"s to boot. windows has one that it installs when the OS is installed but it is transparent unlike grub which the user is usually aware of. | 22:38 |
| pepperjack | jonex_: yes but youll likely need to have port forwarding setup on the destination router or whatever | 22:38 |
| Trijntje | hi edi_x_1 | 22:38 |
| jiohdi | vcoolio, opera has that but office live says no go, must be xp | 22:38 |
| msds1502 | donnybrasco: Get a GParted LiveCD and just delete the Windows NTFS partition and then resize your Ext3 partition to make it bbigger | 22:38 |
| losher | coyo: the reason I ask is because if you can't wait, you could maybe download the latest version and install it by hand... | 22:38 |

| edbian | msds1502: No windows 7 bootloader is not that smart (not as smart as grub). It will only point to windows 7 | 22:40 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | y is it that there are no updates since few days | 22:40 |
| soapbox | Alright removing it then | 22:40 |
| losher | soapbox: the problem isn't rsync, per se, it's the ssh connection. See this -> ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host <- it means ssh can't start | 22:40 |
| jonex_ | jethro: oo i have broadcom | 22:40 |
| msds1502 | donnybrasco: If your using a GRUBloader make sure you edit menu.lst to remove the Windows entry from it ( use gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst ) | 22:40 |
| Andorin | DaZ: I'm on Ubuntu Jaunty and she's on Xubuntu Jaunty. Cache? I don't know. She said the site began refusing to load when she switched from her XP box. | 22:40 |
| soapbox | At the same time Losher, I can log in from root on server a via ssh | 22:40 |

| edi_x_1 | anyone know anything about how to encrypt an ubuntu powered netbook? | 22:41 |
| edbian | msds1502: Conversely If you install windows 7 and then ubuntu grub will see windows 7 and add an entry for it. | 22:41 |
| DaZ | Andorin, 500 isn't browser/system related so it should work now | 22:41 |
| geezer | Greetings, does anyone here use the wbar or Cairo dock. I need to know if either of them allow me to align them along the side of my screen (as opposed to the default bottom) | 22:41 |

| edbian | msds1502: There are 2 parts to the bootloader because they have gotten sophisticated and no longer fit entirely in the MBR. When grub "chainloads" or points to the windows boot loader it's pointing to the part that is located on the partition with the rest of the windows OS. | 22:45 |

| danbhfive | SuperMiguel: rsync may work well | 22:52 |
| losher | soapbox: that's because it's trying to read stdin and something else (the perl script) has gotten hold of stdin, so it's constantly reading eof and looping. The easiest (ahem) cure is to make ssh not prompt for a password by using public key authentication. Either that or call rsync differently from perl e.g. using system() | 22:52 |
| DaZ | SuperMiguel, ntfs-3g gets really slow with files over 4gb | 22:52 |
| msds1502 | whats the program name of the startup manager? startup-manager didn't work | 22:52 |

| isonomy | I'm using Songbird in Ubuntu 9.04. I have this annoying problem where a sticky window (small and blank) opens up with Songbird that I can't close. It's open on every desktop and just gets in the way. What's causing it and how do I get rid of it without also closing Songbird? | 23:20 |
| lilcoconut | danbhfive: ok thx... | 23:20 |
| mumblee | harddisk: ty | 23:20 |
| coz_ | isonomy, it is probably a problem with songbird | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: 8.10 yes I had those kind of issues with Firefox, the one that came with 8.10, then I upgrade it to 9.04 alpha6 and so on from there to the rc or whatever, then I clean install 9.04 final and I don't have those issues anymore | 23:20 |
| msds1502 | I can't hear any sound in Ubuntu, where should i start? | 23:20 |
| erUSUL | albdum: are the disks part of a raid volume ? | 23:21 |
| desperdo | hello ppl urget help needed please. I have this annoying problem with compiz and video playback, I tried to follow some manuals to fix this prob but it got me a bigger problem now. I need get back to the point before I made changes with the gstreamer-properties command. what file does it edit ? | 23:21 |
| isonomy | coz_, it only started happening after I added a bunch of add-ons. But I don't know what it is. | 23:21 |
| ishmandoo | HardDisk: it is supported and works "out of the box" | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | isonomy: try running it from terminal, see what it says | 23:21 |
| albdum | erUSUL: they were at the past but now i deleted the volume from silicon raid (the one after bios) and formated 1 of them | 23:21 |
| imag1narynumber | sebsebseb: I suppose I could try uninstalling and reinstalling FF | 23:21 |
| isonomy | ActionParsnip, alright. | 23:22 |
| erUSUL | albdum: but you did not repartitioned them ? | 23:22 |
| HardDisk | ishamandoo, strange, might want to check the mtp or something on the router | 23:22 |
| albdum | erUSUL: i did reformated the 1 of them (ntfs) the other one i didn't | 23:22 |
| bool | hi there, does anyone know an easy way to find out whether a picture is red? (commandline) | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: is it worth upgrading 8.10 to 9.04? Not as such, is it worth doing a clean install of Ubuntu when 9.10 is released? Of course, espesaily with Ext4 as default file system, and clean installing being the only way to get the proper thing. Reinstalling Firefox and even using a new profile, probably won't do that much good, and you will probably have the issues again. So for now your probably better off using another | 23:23 |
| albdum | erUSUL: when i dual boot with ubuntu desktop both of them mount... just when i boot at server (same pc) they don't mount | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | browser. | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | albdum: reformated is not the same as repartition... if the disks are empty i will just make new partitions with gparted | 23:23 |
| vanita | I have a Toshiba 6100 with NVidia GForce4 420 Go and when I installed the 3d restricted drive the screen crapped out with weird squiggles and then fadded from grey to white | 23:23 |
| vanita | any ideas? | 23:23 |
| vanita | how about envyng? | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | albdum: :| then i dunno | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: Galeon and Epiphany are rather nice alternative browsers. | 23:24 |
| imag1narynumber | sebsebseb: Thanks for your help | 23:24 |
| HardDisk | no one uses envyng anymore | 23:24 |
| albdum | erUSUL: the one of them i open gparted 1) deleted partion 2) format to ntfs again.... | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bool: you may get something with imagemagik, you may be able to sample some random pixels to test | 23:24 |
| isonomy | ActionParsnip, terminal doesn't reveal anything. | 23:24 |
| erUSUL | albdum: dm-uuid-DMRAID-isw_djdfhcejba_ServerRaid | 23:24 |
| xim_ | is there a way through the console to manipulate the icons on your gnome panel bars? like i want to write a script to automatically set it how i like it for when i upgrade linux | 23:24 |
| HardDisk | there is no need for it | 23:24 |
| albdum | erUSUL: what about it apt-get install ? | 23:24 |
| desperdo | gstreamer-properties command. what file does it edit ? | 23:24 |
| erUSUL | albdum: those entries make me think the diesk may still have raid metadata in its partitions table's | 23:24 |
| th0r | xim_: if you have a separate home partition the script isn't necessary | 23:24 |
| usr229 | hello people... how can i create a simple interface that when right-clicked a file i can select an option like the "extract here" option... what i want is to pass the file i'm clicking as an argument to a program, but in that "right-click" interface mode... are there something like GUI creators or something that can help me out? thanks in advance | 23:25 |
| albdum | erUSUL: one of them i think so...the one i didn't format but the other one don't mount as welll :( | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | isonomy: then you will need to run it in some safe mode and disable plugins til you get itstable | 23:25 |
| th0r | xim_: or if you to a complete backup of your home directory it will save among other things the panel layouts | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: so what you going to do? | 23:25 |
| fartbooger | Hi, for some reason my computer thinks that another computer on the network is 192.168.1.2 but really it is 192.168.1.3 does ubuntu cache this kind of thing and if so is there a way for me to flush it? | 23:25 |
| isonomy | ActionParsnip, alright. I'll figure it out. | 23:25 |
| HardDisk | bool im curious in what circumstance do you need to do that task? | 23:25 |
| iceroot | is there and advantage using /etc/cron.daily/script instead of crontab -e? (if running as root) | 23:25 |
| th0r | usr229: don't know about nautilus but that is easily done in thunar | 23:26 |
| jdu | bool, if it is a png, you can use the sng program | 23:26 |
| albdum | erUSUL: also the raid was before i install server edition so the one i format ntfs again should mount | 23:26 |
| usr229 | thunar | 23:26 |
| albdum | erUSUL: but again in desktop same pc they both mount fine | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | albdum: if the disks are empty do (in gparted) Device>Create partition table | 23:26 |
| usr229 | th0r: what is thunar? | 23:26 |
| th0r | usr229: thunar is the file manager for xfce | 23:26 |
| imag1narynumber | sebsebseb: Hope I can find a better answer. Maybe use another in the meanwhile. | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: by the way Flash could be causing your high Firefox CPU usage | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: a better answer hmm | 23:27 |
| albdum | erUSUL: the one of them isn't it is full i try that in the other one | 23:27 |
| jethro | how can i update to firefox 3.5 in ubuntu 8.10 64bit | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !info thunar | usr229 | 23:27 |
| usr229 | oh ok, maybe there's a similar way to do it in nautilus then | 23:27 |
| ubottu | usr229: thunar (source: thunar): File Manager for Xfce. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-1ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 218 kB, installed size 712 kB | 23:27 |
| iceroot | jethro: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | albdum: but again in desktop same pc they both mount fine <<< that may be becouse in desktop you do not have dmraid installed.... (just guessing) | 23:27 |
| imag1narynumber | sebsebseb: But I can't get just one page up. It tries to load iGoogle and hangs | 23:27 |
| iceroot | jethro: ah sorry have not read 8.10 | 23:27 |
| albdum | erUSUL: but again how can both be fine at desktop maybe server misses some drivers or anything ? | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: ok this is your better answer maybe, if you have many tabs open with some of them having Flash, that may be what's causing your high CPU usage | 23:27 |
| usr229 | th0r: so how do you do it in thunar? | 23:27 |
| desperdo | HELP PLEASE :) when typing in terminal gstreamer-properties, what file does it edit ? | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | jethro: its installed as a seperate application, so you will have 3.0.11 and 3.5 installed | 23:28 |
| VCoolio | usr229: you can make your own nautilus-scripts too, but thunar is more lightweight and actions are also easily added; if you want nautilus I can help | 23:28 |
| imag1narynumber | sebsebseb :It's just the one page | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: which page? | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | desperdo: i think it stores that on gconf not in any file | 23:28 |
| albdum | erUSUL: hmm i will do that (partion table) now and i will keep you updated ok ? | 23:28 |
| xim_ | th0r: hmmm. ok ill do it that way then thanks | 23:28 |
| imag1narynumber | sebsebseb: It's ever since I updated when I got home. New kernel, headers, etc. | 23:28 |
| imag1narynumber | sebsebseb: iGoogle | 23:28 |
| th0r | usr229: Edit-Configure custom actions. you can define what file types or extensions the menu choice will appear for, and what is done | 23:28 |
| usr229 | and thanks ActionParsnip | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | albdum: you may want to check the dmraid theory too | 23:28 |
| th0r | xim_: make sure you get the hidden directories in the backup | 23:29 |
| usr229 | VCoolio: how can i create a simple interface that when right-clicked a file i can select an option like the "extract here" option... what i want is to pass the file i'm clicking as an argument to a program, but in that "right-click" interface mode... are there something like GUI creators or something that can help me out? thanks in advance... in nautilus | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | imag1narynumber: ok weird, that should work | 23:29 |
| jethro | iceroot "E: Couldn't find package firefox-3.5 | 23:29 |
| jethro | " | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | albdum: aptitude search dmraid | 23:29 |
| albdum | erUSUL: what can i do with dmraid should i install it on server ? | 23:29 |
| jethro | action that is ok with me | 23:29 |
| usr229 | ok thanks th0r | 23:29 |
| xim_ | th0r: right, ill have to delete some of them though for the upgrade or if some software doesnt get reinstalled or has different configuration parameters | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jethro: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search firefox | grep 3.5 | 23:29 |
| desperdo | erUSUL: so where can I restore the properties to their original state ? | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | albdum: no; check if the desktop has it installed if its not installed remove it in the server | 23:30 |
| jethro | actionparsnip that looks like it is working | 23:30 |
| Raydiation | i just got a kernel update with dep problems | 23:30 |
| VCoolio | usr229: not in gui, and you can also install nautilus-actions which will give a more gui-like approach; otherwise write your own script and put it in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and make it executable | 23:30 |
| Raydiation | do you know about it? | 23:30 |
| albdum | erUSUL: ok i will do both now keep you posted... | 23:30 |
| th0r | xim_: if software doesn't get installed the hidden folders won't hurt anything. If the software upgrade requires new or changed configs it should happen in the upgrade | 23:30 |
| th0r | xim_: if you upgrade doing a fresh install consider making a separate partition for /home....future upgrades will be painless | 23:31 |
| usr229 | VCoolio: ok i'll try it | 23:31 |
| VCoolio | usr229: files are replaced with standard like "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS" | 23:31 |
| jethro | actionparsnip that did something but it didnt install firefox | 23:31 |
| xim_ | th0r: thanks alot thats very helpful little details that otherwise would have caused me stress | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | albdum: i do not find anything relevant in gconf-editor... so maybe is not gconf... | 23:31 |
| donnyw | Could anyone point me in the direction of a good Java development channel? | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | desperdo: i do not find anything relevant in gconf-editor... so maybe is not gconf... | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | albdum: sorry that was not for you | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jethro: it won't, just shows you the package names available that contain the word firefox and 3.5 | 23:32 |

| jethro | actionparsnip any of them? | 23:33 |
| usr229 | thanks VCoolio | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jethro: ideally firefox-3.5 | 23:33 |
| xim_ | th0r: should i make the home partition ext3? | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jethro: if you dont see that then you need an extra repo | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | xim_: ext3, or ext4 if you want to be cutting edge. :) | 23:33 |
| cooper77z | what would be a good refresh setting to reduce the pink flash optical effect? | 23:33 |

| th0r | xim_: I have been using ext4 for everything for about six months without problems, and ext4 is going to be the default in 9.10, or so I have heard | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jethro: http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/183/install-or-upgrade-to-firefox-3-5-rc2-in-ubuntu-karmic-jaunty-intrepid-hardy | 23:35 |
| th0r | xim_: but either ext3 or ext4 would work fine | 23:36 |
| Dr_Willis | main issue ive had with ext4 is that some live cds/resuce cd's dont support it yet.. but thats slowly changeing. | 23:36 |
| HardDisk | that's because it depends on the kernel version the distro livecd is on | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | donnyw: try #java | 23:37 |
| mechtech | how can I browse the internet from command line? | 23:37 |

| Forza4Life | ...anyone have any ideas? | 23:40 |
| [TiZ] | HardDisk: I wouldn't think that I can. I'm on Arch. | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jethro: you will need to add the key too, it is described on the page, then ryn: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 23:40 |
| Saruji_ | th0r thank you so much | 23:41 |

| funkyHat | Forza4Life: you might need to install and use ATi's own display configuration program, I'm not sure | 23:45 |
| msds1502 | HardDisk: i have to used gksudo for some reason, but do I eed a chain loader? or can i just do rootverify (HD#,partition) and makeactive? | 23:45 |
| HardDisk | I dont see why you need a chainloader. | 23:46 |
| msds1502 | plus title | 23:46 |
| spO | hi | 23:46 |
| spO | why don't you guys use windows instead of ubuntu? | 23:46 |

| ActionParsnip | jethro: i don't know what that is | 23:46 |
| HardDisk | sp0 we do | 23:46 |
| spO | why do you guys use ubuntu? | 23:46 |
| funkyHat | Forza4Life: gksu programname | 23:46 |
| Evet | Do you suggest a hosting firm to purchase dedicated or vps, located in Germany? | 23:46 |
| HardDisk | because this is an ubuntu channel | 23:46 |

| Forza4Life | ok i opened up ati's CCC and it says i need to enable xinerama how do i do that | 23:48 |
| HardDisk | hehe Action :) | 23:48 |
| spO | actionparsnip, can you use ubuntu to play mkv files and lots of media files well? like windows home cinema can with core player decoder? | 23:48 |
| HardDisk | sp0 yes | 23:48 |
| jpds | spO: Yes. | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: yes, vlc plays it perfectly | 23:48 |
| xcv | would like some help locating an app i think i have installed or any log entries for invoking httpd | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | spO: there's also a Windows media centre alternative | 23:49 |
| bruce89 | mythtv | 23:49 |
| desperdo | isnt this supposed to be a help channel ? | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: everything i would do in windows, i can do in linux so I save myself the license costs | 23:49 |
| msds1502 | too bad my sound card hasn't work in ubuntu since 2007 :'( | 23:49 |
| HardDisk | other than mythtv | 23:49 |
| spO | it doesn't have coreavc decoder, so it canont play as great as home cinema can | 23:49 |

| spO | what is that website he keeps on spamming? | 23:50 |
| HardDisk | weak bots sp0 | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: what is a coreavc decoder? | 23:50 |
| HardDisk | Action its nothing important. | 23:50 |
| bruce89 | ActionParsnip: it's some non-free AVC codec | 23:50 |
| spO | it makes playing mkv/x264 fi;les a lot faster, | 23:50 |
| HardDisk | which hardly anyone uses | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: i can convert from any codec to any other codec using mplayer | 23:50 |
| HardDisk | except for anime viewers i believe | 23:51 |
| spO | without coreavc, i think my computer would play mkv/x264 too slowly to a point where i get lots of out of syncs | 23:51 |
| bruce89 | or ffmpeg or gst-launch-0.10 | 23:51 |
| UnderSampled | does anybody know what the "nolapic" boot option does? | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: for free using ffmpeg an mencoder and for free | 23:51 |
| jpds | spO: orly. | 23:51 |
| HardDisk | well my anime plays fine | 23:51 |
| HardDisk | on an acer aspire one | 23:51 |
| HardDisk | in ubuntu | 23:51 |
| spO | harddisk, you use vlc? | 23:51 |
| HardDisk | yea | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: i can compile my codecs and player so they are optomised for specifically my cpu, so they will run faster than any 32bit generic compile on windows | 23:51 |
| mechtech | ? | 23:52 |
| === pentest is now known as pentest-sleep | ||
| dabj01 | ActionParsnip: that's takin it pretty far | 23:52 |
| HardDisk | ActionParsnip you need to write a guide for that :) | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dabj01: perfectly true | 23:52 |
| spO | actionparsnip, coreavc probably works faster because it makes the size of the window smaller without changing the resolution.... i don' tknow how it does it but it makes everything faster.. | 23:53 |
| mechtech | can you guys see my posts? | 23:53 |
| Forza4Life | ok can someone walk a new user thru setting up extended desktop in ati CCC | 23:53 |
| Pricey | mechtech: Yes, we can now. | 23:53 |
| Forza4Life | yes mech | 23:53 |
| msds1502 | first hard drive and first partition would be (hd0,0) ? | 23:53 |
| mechtech | ok...someone please see my paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/235494/ | 23:53 |
| spO | oh, i guess coreavc has been ported to linux | 23:54 |
| spO | https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/CoreAVC | 23:54 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Is there a separate channel for X? If not, I'm looking for an X expert. :-) I'm wondering if two users, on two different computers, can use the same X server on a single computer, thus sharing the environment, seeing each others' mouse pointers, etc. | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: all programs under linux can be optomised and modified to be more effieicient and "faster", you can remove and add functionality if needed, the standard installs are ok but they can be tweaked as needed | 23:54 |
| jpds | TwoToneSpirit: #ubuntu-x | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: most windows software is proprietary so falls short ni this area | 23:54 |
| jpds | TwoToneSpirit: But, yeah, you can use VNC. | 23:54 |
| spO | "An open source project named CoreAVC-For-Linux hosted at Google Code patches the loader code in the open source media player program MPlayer and allows it to use the Windows only CoreAVC DirectShow filter in Free Software environments. It does not include CoreAVC, but simply allows MPlayer to make use of it. Th" | 23:54 |
| spO | when it means it is for linux, that means that you have to do some modifications to make it for ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| bruce89 | spO: I saw that CoreCodec were going to release a GStreamer plugin | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: ubuntu is a distribution of linux based on debian | 23:55 |
| TwoToneSpirit | jpds: The problem with VNC is that the other user can't 1) have their own cursor and mouse pointer and 2) drag windows to another workspace to use them herself for a little while | 23:55 |
| bruce89 | but that was some time ago | 23:55 |
| Name141 | HardDisk: huh? | 23:55 |
| spO | i see | 23:55 |
| bucky | mechtech: why are you downloading something as sudo? | 23:55 |
| Name141 | HardDisk: I was going to install Ubuntu, not Wubi | 23:55 |
| mechtech | sp0: ubuntu is linux...there are many distributions, ubuntu is one of them | 23:55 |
| HardDisk | Name, you said wubi | 23:56 |
| Name141 | HardDisk: but I want the VooDoo3 3DFX drivers (if there is any) | 23:56 |
| bucky | mechtech: (2) http://links.sourceforge.net/download/ is an invalid URL that's why you get a 404 | 23:56 |
| HardDisk | Name, its already in the kernel | 23:56 |
| Name141 | HardDisk "is it possible to get drivers for the VooDoo3 3DFX?" | 23:56 |
| mechtech | bucky: typed it by mistake | 23:56 |
| Name141 | Is what I asked | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | TwoToneSpirit: you could run a seperate vnc session for each user. :) but that may be a bit too confusing. 2 pointers on same desktop is a hack i saw somewhere.. but it was a gimmic i recall. | 23:56 |
| HardDisk | Name, in the kernel already. | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | mechtech: ubuntu is not linux, the kernel is linux, the rest round it is a distribution | 23:56 |
| mechtech | bucky: I got a 403...is that the same? | 23:56 |
| bucky | mechtech: (3) do you know how to cut and paste? | 23:56 |
| Forza4Life | can anyone friggin help me | 23:56 |
| Name141 | HardDisk: OK. So I will not have to install anything different like if I had a nVidia ? | 23:57 |
| mechtech | ActionParsnip: my bad | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sp0: any other questions? | 23:57 |
| Forza4Life | im gettin frustrated | 23:57 |
| spO | ubuntu is very user friendly with its gui and self installing of everything, it is very different from earlier version of redhat or slackware linux used to be, and it is very different in userfriendliness than *bsd flavors....... why is it so userfriendly or easy accessable rather than mostly console based like freebsd or openbsd? | 23:57 |
| Armageddon | i would like to compile evolution manually but i have a set of libraries i can't find, can anyone help with that ? | 23:57 |
| HardDisk | Name, exactly | 23:57 |
| mechtech | bucky: http://paste.ubuntu.com/235494/ | 23:57 |
| bruce89 | mechtech: 403 is redirect I think | 23:57 |
| Forza4Life | i need help getting extended display to work in ati CCC | 23:57 |
| jpds | Armageddon: apt-get build-dep evolution | 23:57 |
| === nhandler is now known as info | ||
| ActionParsnip | sp0: i find it no less friendly than any other distro, sus and mandriva have nice installers too | 23:58 |
| Name141 | HardDisk: I imagine a lower more min. install should take place for such a system than GNOME ? It's a p2 450 MHz, 10 GB hard drive | 23:58 |
| bucky | mechtech: which file are you trying to get? there is no file on the end of http://links.sourceforge.net/download/ | 23:58 |
| Armageddon | jpds: that didn't help | 23:58 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Dr_Willis: My dream really is to just have one gnome workspace that is shared between two computers - I'd drag stuff there to leave for my girlfriend and she'd do the same for me. Or we'd work together on that workspace. | 23:58 |
| === info is now known as nhandler | ||
| Name141 | HardDisk: Such as Xubuntu? | 23:58 |
| Forza4Life | can anyone help please? | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Name141: how much ram? | 23:58 |
| HardDisk | Name, I would suggest that as well, or even Fluxbuntu | 23:58 |
| Name141 | ActionParsnip: 320 MBs | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | Forza4Life | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Forza4Life: 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. :-) | 23:58 |
| mechtech | bucky: just wanted to try links2...never used a text based commandline browser before...for *learning* | 23:58 |
| HardDisk | Name, xubuntu will be ok, you could try fluxbuntu even | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | TwoToneSpirit: I doubt if that would be as useable as you think.. :) | 23:59 |
| Forza4Life | ok....can anyone help me set up an extended display using ati's CCC | 23:59 |
| HardDisk | Name, or gOS | 23:59 |
| spO | out of installation box, it uses gui based mostly instead of mostly a console based like many *bsd flavors, how come? was debian like that when it developed always? | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Name141: ubuntu will run ok, xubuntu will make the system more responsive | 23:59 |
| Name141 | HardDisk/ActionParsnip : What about this "lxde" ? | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | TwoToneSpirit: just make a directory you both can access. :) but you mean dragging 'applications' thats not going to be very easially done. | 23:59 |
| Armageddon | jpds: i need libraries i can't find on google, any idea ? | 23:59 |
| HardDisk | gOS, is basically ubuntu with enlightenment | 23:59 |
| bucky | mechtech: sudo apt-get install links2 | 23:59 |
| Name141 | I have heard about | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Name141: you could install ubuntu then install LXDE for responsivenes | 23:59 |
| spO | is the gui environment even c++ ? | 23:59 |
| Name141 | OK. | 23:59 |
| Name141 | I don't have a Xubuntu disk anyay | 23:59 |
| HardDisk | Name, I havent touched lxde, so I can't say. | 23:59 |
